I have been taking melatonin for about 12 years for sleep problems - started at about 300 mcg ~1/2 hour before bedtime, increasing, when effectiveness lagged, gradually to 3 mg (i use the Natrol 3 mg tablet, which was not listed, so I used the Natrol 5 mg for this comment). Added 50 mg Bendryl (diphenhydramine)per night a few years ago and have not needed to change either dose since. I sleep throu...

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...

For Covid I read take 20 to 50 mg a day. I tried it tonight, taking 40mg. I feel like a old woman with arthritis with my hip pain and I’m only 36 yrs old. I can can barely walk. Hopefully I don’t have arthritis now and I revert to going back to not have pain with my joints really at all. Maybe it will save my life or from getting cancer from Covid, who knows. But I can’t deal with this pain every day while I still have Covid. Did take away inflammation of my brain though, a symptom I’ve been having for a week and a half now. This constant head pressure that hasn’t gone away. Read More Read Less

Shift worker. Take 0.3 to 1mg as needed to change shifts, or to sleep until the new cycle is natural.

Dreams were very lucid and vivid. Dizziness was after about 30 minutes. The worse side effect was the headache upon waking. Like a hang-over and energy level very low. Falling asleep seems quicker, but the after effects will make me not want to use it very often.

Felt like the drug was trying to strangle me to sleep. Multiplied my anxiety. Terrible sleep followed.

Started taking 2 to 5 mlg.of melatonin for the past 6 to 8 months. Started having excruciating pain in every bone in my body. Stopped only last night. Helped with the morning headaches and sleep but the bone pain is so intense. Read the same thing by many people! Won't ever take it again.

It always has been difficult for me to go to bed before 2AM. First time using Melatonin left me groggy all the next day. Eventually tried sgain but split the pill in half, taking it at 10PM to feel ready for bed by midnight. Now i get 8 hours sleep with no bad effects the next day.

I am using 3 mg sporadically for sleep as needed when I start getting into cycle where I’m going to bed way too late. It works very well to get me back on a proper sleep schedule. I highly doubt it initially that it would work at all but it seems to work and I wake up much more refreshed

I used to have trouble falling alseep until after 3 AM. I think I had delayed sleep phase syndrome. For various reasons, such as anxiety and computer usage, I would go to bed later and later. And would reach a point where I could not physically fall asleep any earlier. Took 3 mg of this 2 hours before my desired sleep time as suggested and it worked first time.

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