User Reviews for melatonin

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.

I didn't feel it always worked

I have had nothing but good results with the melatonin.

I took melatonin for insomnia for about 3 yrs and I recently stopped. After stopping, I'm much more awake during the day, less irritable, and more mentally and physically active. I used to not be able to sleep at all when I wouldn't take it, now a couple months later I've gone back to normal. I also felt almost depressed for no reason after taking it for an extended period of time, now I feel fine. It will work in the short term, but over time I noticed obvious negative side effects that were clearly tied with using it. I wouldn't recommend it. Read More Read Less

I have been taking Melatonin steadily for about 4 yrs. and before that I used it on and off for like 5 yrs. Melatonin has helped me tremendously. I take 2.5mg every night and within 30 minutes I'm out!

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 can't notice much help. Maybe I need to take more than 5 mg. I understand there is a pill of 10 mg. Maybe that would help me go to sleep. I have been taking the Seroquil pills for sleep. That medicine has too many adverse side effects.

I am surprised at the number of young people taking this hormone. It's use is for people whose melatonin level is low due to old age. I am 84 and have used melatonin for a few yrs. It really helps but I keep the dosage LOW. I increased it to 2 mg from 1 mg and notice that it's working like a diuretic so I'll go back to my 1mg dose. I don't know WHY people who are in their 20's, 30's and 40's would be taking this hormone.

Had trouble winding down at bedtime & staying asleep. Melatonin relaxes quickly & I sleep well 8 hours. Natural, inexpensive & works really well. I awake refreshed with no hangover!

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

Had been taking small dose of Xanax for several years which had been prescribed by my doctor. After discussing with several post-menopausal women who had success with Melatonin for insomnia, I decided to try it. It was very effective immediately. the 3 mg pill was too much and made me groggy, so I cut it in half and that was sufficient for a good night's sleep.

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

I began taking Melatonin as a replacement sleep aid for Nyquil since I was taking Nyquil everynight to sleep and that isn't very safe. I have taken the 5 mg tabs and 10 mg capsules. I like the 5 tabs better. I work swing shift so it helps me adjust my day and night sleeping easier. Defintely increase dreams. I have no problem waking up refreshed but wife is groggy after taking it so she doesn't. WAY BETTER than Tylenol PM or anything OTC and I don't think it will destroy your liver like all of those drugs will.Read More Read Less

I was waking up each night after 3 hours of sleep. A friend suggested taking melatonin. It took about a week before it began working well but now I get 7 hours of restful sleep. Occasionally, I will wake with a slight headache but it always passes within a half hour. GREAT stuff and inexpensive!!

I use the product on my son. He was diagnosed with ADD an a slight form of Aspergers. He is 11yrs old an was never able to fall asleep. He would get up several times during the night an would be cranky all day long. A friend of mine mentioned melatonin because it helps her children get to sleep. My son has become a totaly different kid. He is now a morning person an is in a wonderful mood when he gets up, it also has helped his study habits for school(We dont use it over the summer because we spend most of the day in the sun). We give him a low dose that he takes at 6pm on week nights only. By the time it starts to work its between 8-8:30pm an he gets a full nights rest. Melatonin has made my son a happier child an more relaxed. Read More Read Less

I started to take Melatonin to help me fall asleep when I was feeling depressed and anxious. Now I take it every night, because it seems to help me fall asleep. It's effectiveness has worn off, because I have been using it daily for a few years. At first it would help me get to sleep fast and stay asleep all night, but now I have troubles getting to sleep and wake up frequently at night.
