User Reviews for melatonin

I see no difference in my sleep

No real effectiveness in avoiding sleep time delay. Side effects: drowsiness during the day, depression.

wonderfull

ihave loose dark stool

Very good sleep aid

Worked really well at first but once hot flashes and night sweats started, it was ineffective even at a higher dose.

Helps me sleep peacefully and feel better in the morning I have no side effects

Helped me get to sleep realatively fast and stay asleep..If taken too late at night, I was dizzy and drowsy until almost 11 the next day.

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 through the night and wake up refreshed but sometimes a bit groggy. A good cardio workout takes care of that. Very important - try cutting down, or better, eliminating caffeine. I've tried a number of brands of melatonin, but many don't work. I've settled on Natrol, because it works. There are probably others that work also, but I haven't seen any reason to experiment unless/until the Natrol becomes unavailable or stops working. Remember that these are not manufactured as drugs and there is no required test for what's in the tablet. If the first brand doesn't work for you, try others until you find one. That doesn't mean you will necessarily succeed - melatonin doesn't work for everybody. Try it, though. Start with low doses and adjust as you see how it affects you. Good luck!Read More Read Less

took one 3 mg tablet with 5 mg zolpidim. Slept very well.

I take a 10mg Extra Strength right at bed and I'm asleep within 30 minutes. Unfortunately I wake up 3 - 4 hours later so I take another one and sleep an additional 4 hours.

Took 1.5mg. First time. Slept until 3pm next day. Now I can't sleep again, so this isn't a solution for me.

Melatonin gave me wicked migraines, even in small doses. I tried several different brands in different doses, but woke up with a horrendous migraine every time, so migraine sufferers beware!

need something for menopause,haveing hot flashes,had a hysterectomy trying to find a vitamin don't want to take estron that Dr gives me it not good for my heart I have heart trouble all ready

Don't over do it. Take in moderation so body doesn't get too used to it. Good for children too, especially on long flights overseas....a very small dosage. Consult doctor when giving to a child.

Have worked 11pm to 7am for years. The last yr or so couldn't stay asleep more than a couple hours. Friend suggested melatonin, got a bottle of 3mg, worked like a charm. Go to sleep peacefully, and stay asleep. just have one side effect, was looking on here to see if anyone else did, my sensitive areas (mostly belly) are itching like crazy.... Any ideas??

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.
