User Reviews for melatonin

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

amazing job"

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.

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.

1st time took it- headache and grogginess during day. Headache lasted hours. 2nd time, failed to keep me asleep and was anxious and irtitable next day. I'll pass.

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

Iâ??ve been taking 5-15 mg nightly for a decade to improve quality of my sleep. I have a job that many people would consider stressful. I travel frequently. It is not uncommmon for me to have 10 hotel nights per month in 3 or 4 different time zones, often internationally. Melatonin works for me. Iâ??ve â??testedâ? placebo effect by skipping nights and Iâ??m convinced it improves the quality of my sleep.

wild dreams that wake me up at night,trying to hit wife.

Took one 10mg, it did help me to fall asleep, but had one dream right after another. Some were good and bad dreams, woke up more tired, so this Melatonin is not for me.

6 mgs to offset the hyperactivity caused by Prednisone, which I take during a lupus flare up. It works just as good as 1mg of Xanax. I am able to sleep my regular 7 hours. It starts to work in about an hour. The side effect I donâ??t like is very vivid dreams. Sometimes they can be disturbing. However, I donâ??t have the hangover feeling the next morning. I use the Natrol brand.

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.

Sleep

FI sleep better and dont wake up during the night as often as I use to

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

The actual recommended dose for sleep disorders is from .3 to 3mg. I found 3mg works for me. It helps me to get a better quality sleep when I feel I need it. I don't take it all the time. There is no evidence that it does any harm other than slight side effects in some people - as with any medicine or supplement!

my exprienceis it works but what about the melatonin side affectsthat is a real concern of mine

It doesn't seem to get me to sleep

I had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep. I take .5 mg of melatonin about 1-1 1/2 hrs before bedtime. Works most nights to put me to sleep and I fall back asleep if I wake up.

doesn,t always seem to help me fall asleep
