User Reviews for melatonin

i'm able to stay asleep

I have been using Melatonin since about 1986 for severe insomnia, and it is the only medicine that has been consistently successful in giving me a good night's sleep. I have to order it via the internet as it is still not available in UK. Some versions seem less effective than others, in particular I do not like the ones which also contain B6(don't know why they have thought to add this), and the sublingual tablets work best for me, presumably because they act faster and bypass the digestive system. Within 20 minutes of dissolving a tablet on the tongue I am practically guaranteed to fall into a deep sleep.Read More Read Less

I am 61 and have had sleep related problems do to depression, anxiety, stress, you name it for years. Too many RX meds were prescribed by my drs. All with nasty side effects. Then I was suggested Melatonin. The kind you buy off the shelf at a CVS. Wow! With me I don't even remember falling asleep at night. I used to lay awake for hours waiting for Rx meds to take effect. Only to wake in the morning with a hangover effect. Then sleeping most of the day. Or feeling exhausted pushing myself all day long to function. Best thing was finding this stuff. It's not expensive & you don't need a drs. Rx. Try it. 1 at bedtime if using for a sleep disorder. (MELATONIN 3MG @ CVS). Read More Read Less

Our 5 year old doesn't fall asleep until 10:30. After giving her 1mg of powdered melatonin, she's asleep within a half an hour. A MIRICLE! Only give it to her 2 times a week or so though.

My sleeping has been deeper and it has been easier to fall asleep

This treatment everynight has relaxed me so that I get a good nights sleep!!

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!

helps relax in addition to benadryl to fall asleep faster & stay asleep longer

I take 6mg of meatonin every night with 2 tylenol pm. I have on occassion left off the tylenol pm and don't sleep as well. How much melatonis is effective? I heard if you take too much you won't sleep. How much is too much? What is the required amt. I get melotonin from Wallgreens--"finest".

I was having no luck with Ambien or Trazadone anymore, so decided to try Melantonin - 3 mg. It worked the first night and for the past week. Just hope it continues. What a blessing!

I started taking melatonin when I was pregnant because I needed more sleep, but I have always had trouble falling asleep and would sleep better in the day time than at night. I started with 1 3mg pill, but now I take 2 because it works faster. I can still wake to my baby crying, but I sleep well though the night (at least 5 good hours, sometimes as much as 9) and I can wake up well even if I don't make it to bed until late. I do remember my dreams more than before, but no nightmares or other side effects for me. The only time I don't take it is when my chronic pain is acting out, then I take Tylenol PM. I have noticed that about an hour after taking it, if I am having to be up late with the baby or whatever, I have a headache, but it goes away in my sleep.Read More Read Less

Using melatonin has supported my 7 to 8 hours of sleep every time i use it.

when all else fails this works. it's better than over the counter sleep medicine for me. i still don't sleep like i need to though. you're limited to 3 mg. i don't go over that amount for fear of a bad reaction. my body doesn't react to much of any types of medication anymore and it does to this.

Under 16 age limit. Pediatrician recommended it. I was not sleeping through the night. I now am. Have been using it for a week & a half. Since starting, have had red bumps like mosquito bites show up on my stomach, and vivid nightmares. I have had allergic reactions to many other medications, but I love sleeping through the night

I have been taking the 5mg pill about 30 mins before bedtime. Maybe the 5mg is too strong for me because I have had the same problems as other people on here with the night sweats, vivid dreams but worst of all is how much trouble I have waking up in the morning. Luckily I have job where I can start anytime I want, but its annoying it takes a me a couple hours to wake up
