I've been on Lunesta for some time, but wanted to try something natural. My husband has used Melatonin with success, so I decided to try it as well. The first few nights it worked great, but about midway through the week I awoke in the middle of the night and had trouble going back to sleep. The next night I took two tablets at bedtime instead of one. I had bad dreams that night. Since then I haven't slept well using the Melatonin. Last night I had horrible dreams and night sweats as well. I should say that I'm on antidepressants, so the two may be interacting. I'm going back to my Lunesta.Read More Read Less

After taking two 3mg per night for 2 nights I began having early morning neck pain and headaches. The third night it did not help me sleep because of the severe headache and had to take another sleep remedy.

I take a 5mg tablet 1/2 hr. before I want to go to sleep--read for a while and soon find myself nodding off.If I do wake up during the night I fall right back asleep--wake up 7-8 hours later ready to go. I'm not sleepy during the day. I haven't slept this well in years.

I tried the 3mg dose at bedtime for four days. By the second day, I was having really bad stomach cramps and diarrhea. I also had a hard time staying asleep, woke up every 20-30 minutes. It did help me go to sleep a lot sooner (I could lay in bed for three hours without falling asleep) and I did feel a little more rested by the time I got up in the morning. I don't know if anyone else has had the same stomach problems, or if I am the odd one out. I tried finding info online about side effects and couldn't find anything. Going to try some valerian root.Read More Read Less

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.

Recommended by sleep doctor in addition to Clonazapam for REM Sleep Behavior Disorder.

I thought this was just going to be another ineffective OTC sleep product but I was wrong. It works soooo well. It made me drowsy within minutes and I fell right to sleep!

I was so impressed with Melatonin I actually slept more than I have slept in years. But every morning I wake with a terrible back ache. Feels like my kidney area. Will this go away with longer use? Im not sure if I should continue use.

I have slept only about 2-3 hrs per night (interrupted) for many, many months. Started taking Melatonin recently. It does help me relax a little bit, but not fall asleep. When I do fall asleep now, I wake up with HORRIBLE nightmares and night sweats. For me, it's not worth it.
