New Meds for my lil man

MarkyvSr

Hi my lil man has been diagnosed with autisim just recently and the doctor has given us melatonin to help with his sleep but im a lil unsure what to expect from this and i am a lil concerned to give it to him, does it help, will he be ok etc etc. If any other parents use this could i have a lil advice please.... Thanks in advance...

  • My daughter started on this in june it was fantastic for the first couple of weeks  it was so nice getting her to bed on time before i would be lucky if she was in bed by 10.30. She is only on 2mg so she will need a higher dose. I felt guilty giving it to her for a start but it helped us both when she first started taking it i noticed that she felt warm and clammy and she seemed to wake more in the night scared but that calmed down. Fingers crossed when we see her doctor this month she will up it a little.
