Guest guest Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 Has anyone had a problem with using melatonin? We started giving it to our 4 yo HFA daughter about 6 nights ago. We struggled a little with the dosage, but have found that 1.5 mg works pretty well (.5 had no effect at all, and with 1 mg she still woke up during the night). The melatonin does do its job -- Maggie falls asleep pretty promptly and has, since starting the current dose, slept through the night. However, in the past few days I have noticed a slight increase in stimming, and perhaps a tiny bit less language. Now, I know that a lot of things could cause this, and we do have a lot going on around here right now -- not the least of which is the 100+ heat that keeps us all indoors more than usual. But, I am concerned that it may be the melatonin. Has anyone else had issues with this? Thanks, and blessings! K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
