Melatonin hangover

[Jesusbrah]

Been having some sleep issues the last few months and my doc recommended me some melatonin. Felt like shit after the first night i took it. Its dosed at 2 mg. Any way of avoiding it?

Use less. There's a reason tabs generally come in 0.3 mg and 3 mg. I have 5mg tabs and just bite off a little piece.

I get crazy wicked dreams on melatonin.

^^^ this... It affects your natural melatonin levels in your brain... And w/the lowest dose possible is the best way(I've been doing the exact same thing as Bona stated) I have 5mg tabs and break em In hlf then again and I've been sleeping better than when I was prescribed Trazadone(which is also used as a food enhancement as well) in people w/eating disorders or just have trouble eating...

Yes, yes - listen to Bonaparte and Nach3 - try a smaller dose.

I rarely use it anymore following all my sleep hacking, but for awhile I was taking some every night since it's such a good brain antioxidant. But I had 500 MICROgram tabs, and I was taking an 1/4 to an 1/8, which worked wonderfully. So that's approximately 125-62.5 mcg!

This is prob one of the most over dosed supplements out there. As has been said numerous times in the thread, lower your dose significantly.

Wait, you mean more really isn't better?

Did you get a solid 8 hours sleep ? Did a coffee bring you round ?

[MR-FQ320]

I have 10 mg caps and have been taking one a night, but still waking early. 1mg ketotifen too

[Jesusbrah]

Yeah, will try taking less. Since melatonin is a prescription drug in Norway, i dont have anything else avalible at the moment.

6 hours. Tried coffee the morning after, just gave me a massive f*cking headache.
