Use of melatonin in SPD ?

[Alfiedoggy]

Hi I'm just wondering if anyone can help me ? My ds , six , has SPD . He wakes for several hours every night and is up early . The dr has recommended melatonin . Does anyone have any experience of using this at all and did it improve sleep or have any undesirable dude effects ? Thank you so much xx

Improved the length of time to settle at beginning and throughout the night dramatically. No side effects in my case only benefits because he was better rested. My ds is on the slow release tablets so they act throughout the night and he has amazed me how good he has been at swallowing the pills x
