User Reviews for melatonin

I work 11-7 shift. I have found that this works so much better for me than caffeine. Since I suffer from hypertension.

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 highly recommend Melatonin as a possible, low-cost remedy for insomnia and other sleep pattern problems. There are many different varieties as for as the amount in 'mg' and whether time release or not. I prefer the 10mg time release. Ambien was not the solution to my sleep problems!!! I have bipolar 1 disorder and discovered long ago that proper amounts of sleep help prevent the onset of a bipolar episode and for myself one of the first warning signs thereof which if noticed soon enough could be stopped at that stage. Don't ever give up, things change! Have a great day! Read More Read Less

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 have only been taking Melatonin for three days but I have already noticed side-effects. I do go to sleep and stay asleep, I even wake up feeling refreshed. I have been getting vivid, strange dreams but then again that isn't uncommon for me. My main side-effect, and the reason why I will probably no longer use Melatonin, is on the second day I began experiencing depression. My mother and grandmother also use it and have never complained about side-effects so I suppose it works differently for everyone.Read More Read Less

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.

I have mulitiple sclerosis depresssion anxiety and a 3 year old tough combo but with the help of melatonin coq10 vit d3 thins are getting better thanks melatonin

I am an elderly female with recent life changes (widowhood and loss of a precious daughter) resulting in my being unable to get to sleep at night even tho I kept busy during the day. I started taking 3mg oral melatonin with 25mg Theanine about an hour before lying down to sleep. I am asleep within 30 min. Taking this melatonin has been a lifesaver for me.

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.

after 1st dose i had nightmares and was not able to function well the next day. i really need to know more about this product.

works good at the lowest does

I have always had difficulty sleeping but it was increased when I started working third shift at a hospital. My doctor recommended Melatonin to help me fall asleep during the day and I am very satisfied with how Melatonin helps me sleep better.
