Missing School, Can't Sleep Night, Can't wake up Morning!?!


Question: Missing School, Can't Sleep Night, Can't wake up Morning!!?
My 12 year old daughter has been taking Zoloft for her social anxiety for 3 years now!. Recently, the doc added Folic Acid prescription to her daily meds!.

Ever since my daugher was 18 months old, she's been sleeping in a queen-size bed!. I've always had trouble getting her to bed at night !.

Now, her counselor decided to test her for ADHD, because she has attention problems at school!.

She has been missing too many days from school because she won't get up!. Can she also have depression!? I know depression makes you feel tired and sleepy!. I will discuss this at her next doc appt, but just wanted to get some other opinions!.

Answers:
zoloft is used to treat depression, but maybe the doctor needs to adjust the dose!. is she acting depressed!? perhaps she is not getting a sound sleep!. is she drinking sodas!? try cutting sugar out of her diet and preservatives this can help alot!. also lettuce has sedative properties and a small cup of lettuce soup before bed is meant to help!.!.do not have a recipe!. what often works for me is to have a hot bath with a few drops of essential oil!.!.lavender is best and to put a few drops on my pillow!.!.not the case as it stains sometimes being oil!. the drop intemperature after getting out of a hot bath helps to make the body sleepy and lavender is a great soother/relaxer!. also put some in a burner and light it an hour or so before she is going to bed, but do not forget to extinguish the candle before you go to bed!. lavender works for most people!. massage is another good on or to have your hair brushed gently by someone!. please give the lavender a go and see how it works!. it may take a few nights, but you should see a difference!.
