Guest guest Posted July 11, 2001 Report Share Posted July 11, 2001 Vrey good point-Doctors do not always give the best advice,but I really did not run across any bad information on it-but you are right it has not been well studied in children thus the puberty warning,we did not wxperience any ill effects from it that I can see-but as always I agree its best to be cautious,We just had one heck of a sleep problem for a while and I weighed the benifiets against the risk for my child and did decide to go ahead,if you do run acroos any more information on this product plese do pass it along, as the time may come again when our family would need it.
