I had a few nightmares and then night 3 of taking I had a fright mare. It was so vivid and scared me so bad I actually became sick to my stomach. I have never had a dream in my life so vivid and never took melatonin again. I have never had a fright mare since. Good chance if it give you nightmares they will only get worse.

My husband & I both took 5mg tablet of melatonin to help us sleep. Neither one of us had good night sleep. The next day I was groggy & sleepy but, did not sleep well during the night.

My son takes this along with a prescribed medication and it work very well for him. He has been taking it since he was two. It is very safe and does not have any risk of dependency.

I had an extreme case of night terrors when I took the melatonin. I stopped taking it and the insomnia came back but I prefer insomnia to what I went through when taking it.

I have only been taking melatonin off and on for three weeks now. It really does help in falling asleep and waking up refreshed. A few times I have woken up with night sweats. I have experienced a side effect much greater than that, Nightmares. Not the normal ones. Waking up in the morning grinding my teeth so hard my jaw is sore, Horrible dreams. I could not remember them until half my day went by, then bits and peices of the dream came back. Several other co-workers of mine have shared similar stories. Mind you, I only took a 1mg tab. I have stoped taking this everyday and now take it every so often, and a 1/2 mg tab now.Read More Read Less

I feel like I have a new lease on life -- taking Melatonin 3 mg TR. My sleep is restorative with 7 - 9 hours a night. Used to struggle with early awakening. Only concern is mild depressed mood after several days -- so skipped a day and that improved. Looking for 1mg Timed Release as that is what has been used in research. Hoping that will solve the slight mood issue. All in all a very positive experience.

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 created a GREAT bedtime routine for him and definitely helps him slow down his hyperness. He actually forms an attention span during his slow down time that he has a chance to relax. We have not noticed any side affects at this time with him and he takes it voluntarily by mouth. Great product and we find it for just under $4 at WalMart for a 60 count bottle, with no additives.Read More Read Less
