yet another melatonin question

[Guest guest]

To those of you using melatonin:

I just had an intense conversation with the pharmacist at Coastal

Compounding. (They are so great over there.) When I told him my

son's recent histamine test result, he said that is under

great oxidative stress and needs some relief until I can get some

methylation supps under way.

I have avoided even thinking about melatonin because I am so afraid

of giving that " drugged " feeling. Can anyone tell me, does

your child behave differently after the melatonin and before the

sleep? Does s/he seem spacey, doped up, that kind of reaction?

Life must just be so overwhelming to him sometimes, I'm really

afraid to make it worse.

We're using the epsom salts right now to help with sleep, and he has

definitely improved, but he still has a long, long way to go with

sleep improvement. To be honest, he really only sleeps about eight

hours a night, with a lot of restlessness. And that's a good

night. Because of school, naps are short, if they happen at all. I

really want to bring him some relief.

And for how long is it okay to supplement with melatonin?

TIA,
