Sleep

[Wilma Jenks]

What do you people use for sleep. I can never get my girl to sleep before midnight. Melatonin and seroquel do not knock her out.

Valerian root in combo w/ the melatonin helps my daughter- not sure if its a problem to give with seroquel though.

I can't speak to the drug interactions, but we used Benadryl for a long time - half a dose to a full dose for her age/weight. She was just started on Risperdal, so is sleeping a more regular schedule at the moment.

 

Edited to note that I always get the Dye-Free, Clear Benadryl.

My son had that problem for a long time. He would become very hyper at night but it was taken care of when his pandas symptom diminished and right yeast med was used.
