About the only side effects is groggyness . If it's the gummies I'd advise taking half of one see how that works the the next night take a full one. I generally have to take 3x what normal folks have to and it barley works for me, other people..well whistle I will say though don't take it every night because you'll build up a dependency/ resistance. Your brain naturally produces melatonin and if you take it every night it will throw you out of wack

I take it because of my insomnia. Didn't sleep for more than 10 to 20 minutes at a time for decades. When I take the melatonin I sleep for approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours. 10 milligrams every night 1/2 hour before I go to bed. Doctor says take every night. My Doctor told me you can't get dependent on it either. After taking it for 3 or 4 years now, there were times I didn't go get more for a week or longer and the only side effect I had was going back to less sleep. It took me a month or so till its effects kicked in when I first started taking it

I'm a believer. I take 4 Advil PM (generic) and one melatonin. Works great.

Guys I’ve also struggled with sleep for the past 15 years or so, the Tylenol pm deal caught up to me and I got a bleeding stomach ulcer and had to be in the hospital a couple days so I would try to taper off of those if you can.

Yep... been taking it for about 25 years. I take between 20 and 30 mg every night. I have worked out a nightly routine... I also take .5 mg Xanax (Alprazolam), + 1 mg Prazosin, 45 mins. to 1 hour before bed. They take about 20 to 30 minutes to kick in and then I take, normally 20 mg of melatonin, which takes 20 to 30 minutes to kick in. When they kick in I start feeling very drowsy, then head up stairs to bed. Some nights the kick in harder than others and I feel almost like I am drunk, but I go right to sleep and like last night I slept 7 1/2 hours straight through.

The meds other than the melatonin are for PTSD. I have several times to get off them and I don't sleep at all.

I tried the 10 mg version twice, and while it did help me sleep, it also caused violent gastric distress for 2 to 3 weeks after both times. By violent I mean something that resemble a colonoscopy prep. Apparently that is a side affect that gets to some, but not all. I happen to be one that cant tolerate it.

Take it when I need it 10mg helps me fall asleep quickly, I wouldn't say it keeps me a sleep. I also do have weird dreams, my daughter was having problems sleeping so we gave her the children ones and she had horrible nightmares so that didn't last long.

I take it every night about an hour before bedtime 5 mg. Works great for me.


Wife: That's the 4th time you've gone back for dessert, doesn't that embarrass you? Me: No, I keep telling them it's for you.

Here is a link to some very enlightening info on the benefits of Melatonin. The video included is very worthwhile to watch .

I can't recall who on the forum here first posted this link, but I liked it and saved it too.

Along with making your sleep room as dark as possible, tape off any small computer or other gadget lights, and cooler in temp, it all contributes to good natural Melatonin effects .

I tried it for a while,didnt like it.
Made you fall asleep a bit easier but not a good type of sleep.
Didnt feel right taking it.
Tossed it.
I just stay up and sleep when I get tired regardless of clock,feel way better.
