User Reviews for melatonin

Gave terrible nightmares to the point of discontinuation.

started with l mg. but now up to 4 mgs. doctors advice. I take 1 mg 4 hrs before a.m. if awake and it helps.

Use it regularly for cross country flights and international, works perfectly every time. No drowsiness the next day.

I have been on this a week. The first night I slept sound and thought this is great. The other nights I am back to sleep-awake-sleep and awake. Nothing about this is helping me.

I start the morning at 4:00 am and have trouble getting to sleep early enough so I have enough sleep.

I have been using Melatonin for a few months now. The past month or so, I have been having very intense, strange & vivid dreams. Also, I can remember them. Before I began taking it I very rarely had dreams or nightmares. I have been doing a little research online and have found that when your quality of sleep gets better, number of dreams (as well as recalling them) increases. I have also learned that taking 6mg per night (my dosage) has no known ill effects and is very safe. Some studies even show health benefits, although I'm not sure how many are verified. While it does help me get to sleep at night, and usually doesn't cause much more than normal morning drowsiness, the content of my dreams are VERY strange, and very vivid. I would recommend this product, as it is a chemical that your brain naturally releases & has not been known to cause dependancy like other OTC sleep aids. While it works great, I would tell anyone thinking about taking it to expect to have strange dreams. Anyone else having strange dreams caused by melatonin?Read More Read Less

help me to fall asleep and stay asleep for several hours. Before this it would take me several hours to fall asleep then I would wake up several time a night. Now I sleep most night until my alarm goes off. Draw back is sometimes I wake with a headache but it goes away fast without any medication

It used to take me at least 30 minutes to get to sleep after laying my head down, and occasionally it would take 2-4 hours to fall asleep. I've been taking 1 mg of melatonin and watching how much light I'm taking in before bedtime, and from day 1 I have consistently been able to fall asleep within 15 minutes or less of going to bed. I love it.

Melatonin has really helped me sleep better. I started menopause with a bang! Dizziness, hot flashes and night sweats. The Melatonin helps me sleep. It does give you weird dreams, but nothing that I feel is upseting. The dreams are kind of interesting and memorable. They are not nightmares for me like in some people.

My Ob recommended 20 mg to help with insomnia and post menopausal symptoms. I had severe stomach cramping followed by diarrhea at 3am. I tried twice more with the same outcome. Discontinued.

Chronic Cluster for 5+years. B2+magnesium+10mg Melatonin before bed and Clusters are down from 3-4/day to 3/4 month PLUS NONE at night!

works good at the lowest does

Fibromyalgia and menopause have been brutal for sleeping. I find by taking 1/2 a 1mg melatonin with a 1/2 10mg amytripylin helps me get a good sleep.

wierd dreams

I didn't feel it always worked

My husband & I both took 5mg tablet of melatonin to help us sleep. Neither one of us had good night sleep. The next day I was groggy & sleepy but, did not sleep well during the night.

I have found that by using mid-nite has helped me sleep moore regular through the night, less waking up inbetween.
