My brother has ADHD and severe anxiety, and right now is actually only taking an anti-anxiety med. to fall asleep. He's 8 years old.
His Phsyciatrist said she would recommend taking Melatonin every night and removing the anxiety med for the summer, to see if he can adjust to life without it.
My immediate worry is that he becomes dependant on the Melatonin over time.
My second worry is the affect of Melatonin supplementation on testosterone during a period of hormonal instability, as he approaches puberty.
Thirdly, I thought I head read worries of hepatoxiticy in the past with this compound?
Lastly, would you think phenibut or kava would be more appropriate? Maybe stacked with valerian root?
Thanks guys, any feedback is appreciated
