[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 27817, member: 3419"] Welcome! You have definitely come to the right place and have gotten some good input already. The medications will wear off around bedtime, although if your child chews them, they will wear off at dinnertime or sooner. (Swallowing them makes them last longer.) David's Mom... our easy child had night terrors and in fact, just had one last wk. for the first time in years. We took her to a hypnotherapist and it worked wonders. Basically, she was falling asleep too fast and instantly going into REM. Then she'd wake up an hr later and her body would be asleep, as well as half her mind. She was glassy eyed and walking like a zombie. She remembered nothing the next day. It's very similar to sleepwalking. The therapist talked to her in person, and also gave her a tape to listen to at night. It was his voice, telling her to fall asleep slowly, and in fact, I can't recall what else, but it worked. Now she only gets them if she's really stressed out... like exams, play practice, and lifeguard training all at once. I have them on occasion but never knew what they were until we took easy child to the therapist. With our g'fg on medications, it's no surprise that they don't all have night terrors, because the medications mess with-their normal circadian rhythms and REM cycles. [/QUOTE]
