User Reviews for melatonin

i take 1 3mg pill 30 minutes before going to bed every night and i just drift off to sleep like i use.

my 8 yr.old son has adha and out of all the medications that is prescribed by doctors i have found that melatonin helps him sleep the best and all through the night.

have fourth stage breast cancer-taking 45mg.melatoin for 11/2years-last CAT scan breast tumor dramatically reduced-spots on liver disappeared-check internet melatoin has been use in italt for over 20 years-think it is expensive-why would US drug companies do studies on it-they would not make the big bucks.

in italy for quite a few years they use 30-50mg. of melatoin every night in conjunction to tamoxifen and it helps shrink tumors in estrogen positive cancer. i have 4th stage breast cancer-got it in2008 this last CAT scan in 2110 said dramantic decrease in tumor size-i asked my husband a retired MD why not in usa? drug company would not make much money on a supplement melatoin-so why study? no profits?

is this treatment ok for a 3 year old/

My son takes this along with a prescribed medication and it work very well for him. He has been taking it since he was two. It is very safe and does not have any risk of dependency.

I had an extreme case of night terrors when I took the melatonin. I stopped taking it and the insomnia came back but I prefer insomnia to what I went through when taking it.

this works very very well for me. i ues Enlytgen- melatonin.

I feel like I have a new lease on life -- taking Melatonin 3 mg TR. My sleep is restorative with 7 - 9 hours a night. Used to struggle with early awakening. Only concern is mild depressed mood after several days -- so skipped a day and that improved. Looking for 1mg Timed Release as that is what has been used in research. Hoping that will solve the slight mood issue. All in all a very positive experience.

While I didnt take melatonin SOLELY for nicotine withdrawl, I took Chantix....I found melatonin effective for sleep.....seemed that Chantix kept me from sleeping, esp that first 2 weeks..

i am not sure if melatonin is giving me hand tremors. yhey seem to be worse after i started taking i.

Had non 24-hour sleep-wake disorder for twenty years. I take 3mg of melatonin approximately mid-day to advance my sleep phase. The timing needs to be precise in relationship to my internal body clock, which is not always easy to know. If I wake after an hour of heavy dream sleep, my waking time is a reliable marker and I will take melatonin eight hours later. If I hit the right timing window, I'll have fairly strong fatigue within an hour. This lasts for a couple of hours. I can't do certain kinds of work in this state, but I can do housework and listen to lectures. I call it my stupid pill, but it doesn't actually make me stupid, but impairs my ability to generate outward focus. Missing my window even once can make it hard to recover the required timing accuracy. The difference is profound. I can tell I miss the window because I have far less fatigue. Taking coffee at the same time as the melatonin significantly reduces fatigue, but it also made the treatment less reliable. Used to have an "all nighter" without fail at least once every three weeks for twenty years. In my first year on melatonin, I lost control only three times and had to flip over. Variability in the potency messed me up on one of those. One vendor didn't work at all. Another vendor works well most of the time, but some bottles aren't all there. Think I get mild stomach irritation at night, nothing really to complain about, and it could be other things in the pill. My life is spectacularly better since I discover this, having found the research myself. Would love to find a 100% consistent formulation. Read More Read Less

I just started taking melatonin for a small sleeping disorder, my mom has it really bad and i think i inherited it! Well the vitamin is 5mg and so far it works but i do wake up with sweats more than usual and a slight headache, i'm trying to solve my issue as natural as possible b/c i don't want to take the other prescribe or chemical stuff that causes other issues!
