Sleep medication

Recommended Posts

Will be making another app. with our doctor soon as she told us to get back in touch if the melatonin had no effect, with regards to giving us a short term heavy sedative for a kind of weeks *crisis* help. I am about to lose my mind as in the summer holidays, due to the sleep disorder I am with Lewis 24 hours a day........can't take much more :crying: Anyway, I wondered if anyone would know the name or names of this type of drug so I can look it up and do a little research before I accept it for him. Lewis is eight, and hasn't been sleeping for about 6 months now. I know there might be a few different types, but any possibles would be helpful, we are not talking mild here, we are talking the type he would take for a week to knock him right out for 12 hours :blink: Thank you in advance! :)

Hi

 

I really am sorry you are having a such a tough time. I have never had any personal experience of melatonin, but the following links are to melatonin and sleep topics on this forum.

You could try the paains site (Paains- Public Autism Awareness in North Somerset) they have a forum which has discussed this topic at length.
