I have a 4 year old with PDDNOS, adhd, dysnomia, sleep terror disorder, speech delay and sensory intergration disorder. He REFUSES to sleep. I also have a 6 month old who just got over bronchiolitis an ear infection and a virus all at once. I have had no sleep for DAYS. My sons doctor gave him melatonin but it doesnt do much good. he has no issues falling a sleep on a normal day, its staying asleep that is the issue. What medication will help my son and myself get a full nights sleep? We do work with sensory workers, behavioral therapists, speech, and ot. but nothing has seemed to help. It has been over a year since i have woken up fully rested and my son its been about 2 1/2 years. HELP!!!
Hi.... I think u should discuss with your psychiatrist regarding taking sedatives which are appropriate for you. There are many new sedatives which doesn't cause any dependence as well as hangover. But for your 4 yr old child the sedative will be different. Many sedatives used for adults are unsafe for child Chat Doctor.  For ADHD the first line treatment is behavioral therapy which can be properly given by a child psychologist.
