Thanks! Yes, we DO use melatonin, though I thought it was useful predominantly for sound sleep. It's encouraging to see information on its impact with respect to glutamate, as well. That's a win-win for us!

We use GABA as well as melatonin, it helps with sleep for sure, I hadn't thought about the glutamate connection.

 

We use a lot of supplements in addition to drugs that seem to help.

hmmm...my daughter twitches really bad all night long...but, it does not affect her sleep....i wonder if melatonin would help stop the twitches....i wonder if those twitches are seizures?
