Obviously i cannot vouch for its quality...but may me worth a try if you cannot get it prescribed...or capsules/tablets are 'detected' and refused by your child???
To recap.....MELATONIN is naturally produced and regulates our BODY CLOCK....well that's what is supposed to happen!!!!
In people with NEUROLOGICAL problems such as AUTISM/ASPERGER'S&ADHD etc sleep may not be so easy to come by.
Particularilty effective with people who cannot get to sleep....though some on here have said it can work if given at night wakenings if that is your particular prob.
Basically i give it 30-60mins b4 planned bedtime...and have found 'topping up' with it right up to 1am doesn't seem to cause problems the next morning.
Currently MELATONIN cannot be prescribed by a GP- so has to be via a paediatrician/specialist etc.
The ebay seller i saw this on seems good- she also sells loads of 'autism merchandise'.....
