Dd2 has been a terrible sleeper for 5 years now and we've tried so many pharmaceuticals - Melatonin, Phenergan, Vallergan and Triclofos spring to mind, and only the Vallergan has any effect and then she ends up with a stonking hangover. Last year the paed prescribed her chloral, but so far the bottle has sat unopened in the cupboard.
I'm nervous about using it, it strikes me as quite a strong medication?
She had it as a baby quite often following her cardiac surgery, but that was down the ng tube. I've heard that it tastes like petrol, although I just had a try and it didn't really seem to taste of anything.
Is there anyone else here who uses it and can tell me how it affects their dc please?
