[SPAM] Re: MELATONIN AND BEHAVIOUR

[Guest guest]

Hi, yes I agree............the reason I stopped it was because he was sleeping

ok without the Melatonin after the increased Risperidone and I didn't want to

" over-medicate " him. But because the extra Risperidone doesn't seem to have

helped I asked myself what else had changed - and thought maybe it was the lack

of Melatonin. I read some articles on the internet about how Melatonin helped

some dementia cases mood-wise and thought perhaps this was the answer.

Thank you for your reply.
