"my son has been taking this for awhile now.  he is 6.  he is on 75 mg, and 10mg of melatonin, he gets a little sleepy, before bed, but otherwise it&#039;s hard for him to fall asleep, and he is up at 5:30-6:00am every morning. i don&#039;t like it. i was on this at one time too, did nothing for me, so now i take ambien cr.  i have been on ambien for about 9 years.  wouldn&#039;t change a thing.  i wish i could find something that worked for my son now."
