My son is almost 4 and has not been diagnosed at this time with ADHD but is suspected of having it. As a trial use we have used 3mg Maletonin to help him settle down at night for bed. We've been using it for about 4 months now and he takes a full pill about 30-40 minutes before bed and it works wonders. He slows down, sits for a bit to have a small healthy snack then he's ready for bed. It has cr...

I'd been using melatonin regularly for 4 years with great efficacy for the treatment of insomnia and anxiety. However, a year ago I began experiencing issues with peripheral vascular disease associated with varicose veins (ulcerations and subcutaneous bleeding on my calves, joint pain and stiffness, planar fasciitis and chronic leg cramps). Within weeks of treating my varicose veins with compr...

Awesome, vivid dreams. I also feel completely refreshed even though I slept 6 or 7 hours.

I took 20 mg of Melatonin daily for five years as part of preventative treatment following surgery for metastatic melanoma. It was prescribed to boost my immunity. I didn't have a re-occurrence of melanoma for five years and was taken off melatonin. After stopping, I started having trouble with anxiety, depression, fluctuating emotions, and insomnia. I can't say with absolute certainty it is due to melatonin; but I have never experienced any of these conditions before until I stopped taking it.

Helps me to fall asleep. If I wake during the night I fall back to sleep quickly. Has helped me to get more rest during the night.

Since starting this regime I haven't had cramping in my stomach or diarrhea, ie, a storm in my stomach. It is such a relief. I hope it last. Nothing as been so effective.

very effective when i use it. i feel it is safer to use melatonin than prescription sleep aids. i don't know if there any side effective with long time use, but so far i have not experienced any. I can't find product name. it is Natrol desulable and i take three 5mg when needed.

Melatonin is very effective at getting me off to sleep and for readjusting delayed sleep phase. However, it makes me depressed the next day - so depressed that despite its efficacy it is not worth taking for the black hole it leads me down. If you are going to take it start with a small dose. So frustrating to encounter a treatment that works for delayed sleep phase, but has an unbearable side effect!
