I'm buying some magnesium supplements for my son as the counselor suggested it for his trouble sleeping and a quick google showed me it's a pretty good bet, especially since he eats pretty much nothing but bread and meat and so doesn't get enough of anything healthy. Nixing the idea of melatonin, since I keep reading it may increase depression. Last night we had a talk and he mentioned his mood swings. He's always been a moody kid...we joked when he was little that he was like a hormonal teenage girl...wish I'd considered it an actual problem back then.
I've been thinking about St. John's Wort. Has anyone got any opinions on that? Anyone ever tried it. Google is letting me down...as most reliable sources seen to indicate that there's not been enough study. Ironically, my son is pretty anti-medication. But he's willing to take the magnesium...so something like a vitamin or herbal supplement will fly.
Thoughts?
