Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I currently have my daughter on multiple supplements (she also has ADHD), such as Inositol, B-complex, Omega 3, and melatonin at nighttime to help with sleep. I do not want to do the melatonin long-term, but she has lots of problems falling asleep, and not sure what else to do. If I put her on the Mindsoothe, would that just replace the melatonin; would I need to continue with the other supplements? Has anyone had their children taking Melatonin long term and at what dose? Re: Re: supplements? My son has experienced absolutely no adverse effects at all. He is not tired or " drugged out " - nor is he hyper or anything like that - in fact his sleeping patterns are exactly the same. There has been no personality change at all except for the OCD thoughts being gone. I think the tranquilizer effect works just for his racing OCD thoughts. If you want to call me, my number is 901-837-9741. Kind Regards, silvafour <thesilvas@...> wrote: Thanx for the info. The Mindsoothe Jr says is has a " natural tranquilizer " .

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 My son takes meletonion and has since 12/05. He was not sleeping well at all and several days only got a few hours sleep before school. The pediatric neurologist we saw recommended that we put him on meletonin and said it was safe. He is 14 now. He takes 1.5 mg. The doctor had said to start with 1 mg and work our way up. We could only find 3 mg tablets so we split those in half.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 No, Mindsoothe Jr. works similar to Inositil - helps to raise Seratonin levels. I would not have my child on both at the sametime. It is a mood stabilizer, not a sleep aid.
