User Reviews for melatonin

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.

Time release form of Melatonin works all night

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.

Does not work , I sleep better using an over the counter sleep aid

I took 2x pills every evening for 4 days to help me adapt to a 6 hrs time difference

i was placed on alprazalam following the death of my husband 4 years ago-i did not realize how addicting a drug it was-i finally was able to get off it by tapering myself slowly over a 5 week period-i am a retired rn-but now have insomnia--my doctor suggested melatonin 5 mgm or 10 mgm--five works fine-i can finally sleep

In a few short words: NIGHTMARES. I and several people I've talked with get Very Disturbing dream.

Satisfied

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.

I had very horrible & very weird dreams while taking this.

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!

Somewhat effective. Has an after wake up feeling of unfresh

My days and nights are confused. I have developed severe insomnia and have a terrible time trying to get to sleep and once I get to sleep I wake easily. Not more than 4-5 hrs a night. Just started treatment and need increases to get desired effect.
