4 y/o son with a month long night terrors bout??

Just not sure what to do. He wakes up screaming everynight at around 3:00 a.m. He goes to bed around 8:30 p.m.. He is then usually up for 3-4 hours after that just being restless, which means mama is up 3-4 hours! We have tried talking about what he is afraid of but by the time he is calmed down and usually in bed with me he doesn't remember. Just curious how otehrs have helped their wee ones through this. Thanks!

We used the calmes forte tablets by Hylands when ds was 3 and waking with night terrors a lot. They seemed to help. We would give him a couple before bedtime.
When I was pg with ds 2 I waking waking up with nightmares quite a bit and took some to get back to sleep. I really felt like it helped. Whereas the nights I didn't take them I kept falling back into the same bad dream.
