Melatonin and Agression??

[shazzarooney99]

Is there any link with this? my sons meltdowns are getting worst and more aggressive and constantly threatening to kill himself, im just wondering if its linked to the melatonin, hes been like this for the last year which probably coinsides with the time he started taking it, or is it just a coinsidence?

I have no idea but sounds like it would be worth a chat with his doctor. how would he be to try a break, if that's what they advise?

This happened with my son too, we had a break from it, but were advised to rule out demand avoidance, so we tried giving it to him without him knowing.
When he doesn't know he's had it, he's fine, no more aggression than usual.
I spoke to his GP about it, and they said they've heard of this before, so to carry on giving it to him if it's working.

Im just fed up with the agression and fed up of going round in bloody circles, cahms cant give him any help because its potentially Asd, the peadatrician is on maternity and hes getting worst, i am actually flinching when he comes near me, weve had a hellish weekend and quite frankly ive had enough!

Do you have any family or a friend who could have home for a day or two, so you can have a break?
I know how you feel

No luv,family are too far away and no good really, i wish i could, i was thinking of perhaps hiring a childminder once a week at the weekend just to give us all a few hours break.
