[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 5827, member: 2322"] There is a 1 mg sublingual (under the tongue) melatonin that I buy in local health food store orange flavored. My kids loved it. And we gave it to the seven year old (started with half) that was all he needed to help him fall asleep. While I don't believe in telling kids that medicine is candy, I would tell her something like it is her special treat or something if she is so resistant. (been there done that). Just be sure to keep the medications safe... My kids can't stand fish oil oil, but we do the capsules which they like ok. we found one kind that we order that are not huge that they don't mind. You could try the take your medicine and get 4 m$ms or whatever afterwards if she complains about the taste. You are going to be doing this a long time so whatever works...it has gotten better for us--and when they are on medications it gets easier. ps we were at the point where we had a totally non functioning family. Getting the right medications has really helped us. Not that things are great necessarily, but feel like at least we are functioning and doing pretty well. It took some time to get things right, just know that it can get better pretty fast if you find something that works. ps I think you said you were going to start Risperdal. It really helped my son. Particularly the "emergency" M tab version that dissolves under the tongue. we called it the emergency pill. [/QUOTE]
