[QUOTE="Lil, post: 636289, member: 17309"] I've never even heard of bergamot. I'll have to look into it! All we got so far is a men's multivitamin and a magnesium supplement. We talked to the pharmacist to make sure of the dosage. He started last night taking the magnesium and took his vitamin this morning. He's always been so resistant to taking anything! When he was younger, we couldn't get him to even chew Flintstones. When he had surgery, he refused his pain medications. Heck, the first time he came home so sore and achy from lifting boxes, I said, "I'm going to get you some ibuprofen." He said, "It won't help." I said, "You're not taking 2, you're taking 4." His eyes got big and I had to laugh. Explained to him that 4 otc pills = 1 prescription strength and I take that much every night before bed and my doctor said it was fine. He took them. Low and behold, they helped! The first time I gave him Benadryl to help get to sleep he didn't think they'd work. "They don't affect me." Yeah...slept like a baby. That's all otw sleeping pills are, mega doses of antihistamine. Got to be careful not to get dependent on that though. That he even asked for the magnesium is kind of a miracle. He said he woke up at 5 (didn't have to go in until 7 today) but that he slept well. I'm pretty sure there's a placebo effect there, along with the fact that he's working a hard, physical, job for a change, but I'll take it. If he thinks it works, it may work. We'll give anything a try! I'd love to get him to a doctor for a real physical and blood work. He eats such an unhealthy diet and has always been one of those people (like me) who gets cranky and moody when he's hungry. I used to have to send granola bars with him to school for a late snack. But I gently suggested it last night and his response was, "No needles.":rolleyes: He nearly had a meltdown today because his shoes fell apart and he had to wear an old cheap pair of fake converse I found.
