melatonin question

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My daughter is 4 and was having problems sleeping through the night so her

doctor suggested giving her melatonin before bedtime. She currently weighs

around 33 lbs.and is on the ketogenic diet for seizures.

Her neuro told me to give her 2.5 mgs. every evening, but since starting

about 3 weeks ago she is just zonked in the morning till about 1 or 2 p.m. I

think this may be too high of a dose and would like to get an opinion from

parents

out there who may have tried this.

Thanks,

Heidi, future occupational therapist and single mom to (IS,

Severely/Multiply Impaired) and (4 years), and big sis Madison (almost

6!).
