User Reviews for melatonin

I started one week before its working very well to me.Before that I was using larozepam for sleeping for almost 7 years and without that I could not sleep more then half an hour. Now I stop that medicine.and I am feeling much better.

help sleep sometimes

Alteril helps me get to sleep more effectively. The problem is, I still awaken frequently, but I can fall asleep quickly. However, I have to be sure to have at least 12 hours that I can sleep to be able to function after, so I cannot use it during my work week.

I started with 3mg of Melatonin and besides a few headaches, I am so happy with the outcome. I keep myself informed as to what the updated reports show and plan on staying on at least 2mg.

I first started using Melatonin as I had insomnia from my pain. I have been taking Melatonin for the past 2 months and am starting to see an improvement in my pain. I still have overall pain from my RA, however my sleep has improved. I am just worried about side effects with long term use.

I work 6 days a week on rotating shifts. Some days i find harder than others to sleep. I find different brands of melatonin work differently. Some brands offer instant brief bursts of sleep, others come on slow and act more gradually. With this in mind and some time you can work out what dose will yield your desired results :) 15 cents a day for decent sleep is great :)

I'm 70 yrs old and, in the past, swimming a km would guarantee a very good sleep. Lately, I found myself sleeping earlier and waking much too early. Two days with the Trader J. chew-able mint pill have convinced me of its potency and efficacy, to my surprise.

I use a CPAP machine and it makes it easier for me to fall asleep. Otherwise I can be up for hours before falling asleep.

I have taken 9 mg & it has helped me have a better sleep, now I think my body is used to the melatonin & it is not working.

I have always been a light sleeper, and wake at the slightest noise, etc. Taking Melatonin 2 hours before bedtime has helped me fall asleep, and actually stay asleep during the night.

I sleep wonderfully every night using this supplement. I like the fact that it isn't a drug, is inexpensive and easy to find right in my grocer's vitamin section. I do wake a couple of times during the night to urinate--always have, but go right back to sleep, and I enjoy marvelous dreams!I recommend Melatonin to all my friends who complain of lack of sleep.

I used the Zip Melts (GNC 5000 is actually 5mg of sublingual Melatonin) for adjusting to mids shift and assisting with jet lag - taking on zipmelt just prior to when I need to be sleeping is perfect. No hangover the next day.

it has really helped me with my hot flashes. it also helps me to rest better in the evening.

Benzodiazepines cause tolerance and physical dependence within two to four weeks, and, upon cessation acute withdrawal traditionally requires tapered management. Additionally in some long term users experience withdrawal syndrome. Withdrawal syndrome can last many months and is typified by a major depressive episode, agitation, and lack of ability to get to sleep. This is a serious side effect which needs careful monitoring. ol For this reason Benzodiazepines need to be used with extreme caution and for very short periods. Melatonin is effective for sleep disturbances that are not caused by an over active nervous system, such is in the case of Benzodiazepine withdrawal. It appears virtually ineffective during acute (tapered) withdrawal, although somewhat helpful during withdrawal syndrome. For this reason it's main purpose during withdrawal is an adjunct with other therapies. To my knowledge Melatonin does not effect the calcium channels that have been disturbed by benzodiazepine usage and this is why, in my view, Melatonin is not very effective on it's own as an Anxiolytic (antianxiety agent.) My experience is that SSRI's are not very effective for use for withdrawal, however responses to SSRI's are individual dependant. It is essential to manage benzodiazepine withdrawal and protracted withdrawal syndrome using a variety of methods including CBT, but most effectively, using an alternative Anxiolytic, the most effective of which is Phenibut (CALMEXA). Phenibut Calmexa is GABA with a phenyl ring that allows it to pass the blood brain barrier, therefore replacing the GABA depleted by benzodiazepine dependence. With medical management it can safely and entirely replace the use of Benzodiazepines, causing an alternative dependence both easier to taper with less risk of protracted withdrawal syndrome. Melatonin used together with Phenibut is very effective for inducing sleep, establishing and maintaining a sleeping pattern. Read More Read Less
