Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 Thank you, and I will look into this, BUT is cortisol related to the cortisone group? I never can remember if it's the beginning or the end of the word in medicine that are related..I have read some strange side effects to cortisone, and would have to reread about it. Thank you though! -Shari Mike Menkes wrote: > > Shari: > I have noted amazing experiences with melatonin in my clinical > practice.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 Angie, Maybe your son produces enough Melatonin on his own, or seratonin on his own? Wasn't trying to make anyone feel bad. My son was on it for 7 months,and I noticed NO difference. I only noted a difference when I stopped, and restarted.-Shari Re: [ ] Re: Melatonin question In a message dated 7/4/01 9:58:45 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Curepdd@... writes: << I must say, my son went from a HECK of a lot of " I don't knows " to discussing with me today that " It's July 4th, that's why they are lighting the firecrackers, and I like all of the beautiful colors " ...I am in awe once again...Always a miracle around the corner.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2001 Report Share Posted July 6, 2001 My son does seem to have night terrors more often on Melatonin, and I have to say, I tried it once or twice and had VERY bizarre nightmares...

It worked great at first, then he started waking up screaming with a glassed over look to his eyes. He wouldnt look at me and he seemed so scared during his screaming episodes. We tried it for about 3 days after the first screaming episode. At first i thought it was just a dream, but it happened again and again. We stopped after that. He hasn't woke up screaming since. Anyone else have trouble like this? ======================================================= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 6, 2001 Report Share Posted July 6, 2001 Mike, As I've already expressed to you privately, addiction potential is NOT the same as " negative effects " . Your equating the 2 indicates fuzzy thinking on your part in this matter.
