also, I believe the directions for eldepryl were twice a day...but I thought it was morning and evening?? I dunno...his sleep is getting worse at nite...of course...he isn't wearing himself out in the daytime to really need alot of sleep at nite and he is taking a nap..but that is normal..I think...he just needs to get his nites sleep because he is getting more tired in the day..than normal.....I think...me too..when he lays down..I lay down ....and if he has to get up at 3 or 4 am...then I don't sleep well without him..sometimes i get up too and we both sit on the couch and watch tv...poor guy! I was thinking of asking the dr for a sleeping pill but he is taking enuf pills! thanks, Coleen :-) ******************************************** Oregon Adoptee Rights Initiative Measure 58 Our Birth Certificate: Our Right http://www.plumsite.com/oregon/ PO Box 353 Nehalem Oregon, 97131.
