My mom took me to the dr. when I was two. She said I got up at 5am and went to bed at 10pm and didn't nap. I'm 36 now and I have ADD and I'm on Straterra. My son was a nightmare at two. I couldn't get any help from the dr. so I went to the health food store. I tried the "focus" remedies they had. I also tried chamomille tea. He has always had allergies and so he takes Benadryl at night, which puts him out. The Dr. asked if I wanted to switch to a non-drowsy allergy med. I said NO THANKS. The guy at the health food store gave his son Valerian, also used to induce sleep and relaxation. I don't know any dosage suggestions though, and I don't know if any of that will help. But I couldn't get traditional help so I went to the alternative medicines. He is now 10 and on Straterra and just fine. Hope that helps.
