Melatonin

[John Bishop]

The doctors reccomended I take melatonin to sleep better. I use to take melatonin in the past and thought it was just a placebo. What I was using was in the 2-3 mg range, The doctors told me that 2-3mg is meant for children, They said try 10-12 mg of melatonin.I slept great after using the 10 range, they make a great kind of melatonin that looks like a mint and you let it sit under your tongue to absorb faster in your bloodstream, if you try it use it towards the night.

Wow, 10-12 mg sounds like a lot to me. i guess gradual increase would be way to go since i take other meds for sleep also. Thanks for advice though. Not even going to ask about giving Melatonin to children :) .

I have used melatonin before and lots of meds with melatonin in them, and it always ended the same. My body got used to the dosage, and the higher I took the crazier the nightmares would be. Even the doctor said it is supposed to make you dream, mine were horrible. Hopefully you will have better luck though since things react differently to different people. Just thought I'd let you know in case you started having constant inexplicable nightmares.
