My 6 yr. old son has ADHD & is taking Concerta. He was having trouble settling down for bedtime & not sleeping well. His pedictrician told us to try melatonin, starting with 3mg. He has been taking 6mg about 30 mins. before his bedtime & he is asleep with in 45 mins. It has really helped him rest & he is in a better mood when he gets up.

I had a few nightmares and then night 3 of taking I had a fright mare. It was so vivid and scared me so bad I actually became sick to my stomach. I have never had a dream in my life so vivid and never took melatonin again. I have never had a fright mare since. Good chance if it give you nightmares they will only get worse.

Shift worker. Take 0.3 to 1mg as needed to change shifts, or to sleep until the new cycle is natural.

Have taken 20mg daily for over 4 years. Puts me to sleep about 20-30 minutes after I take it. No problems waking up in morning. No notable side effects

It always has been difficult for me to go to bed before 2AM. First time using Melatonin left me groggy all the next day. Eventually tried sgain but split the pill in half, taking it at 10PM to feel ready for bed by midnight. Now i get 8 hours sleep with no bad effects the next day.

I am using 3 mg sporadically for sleep as needed when I start getting into cycle where I’m going to bed way too late. It works very well to get me back on a proper sleep schedule. I highly doubt it initially that it would work at all but it seems to work and I wake up much more refreshed

Awesome, vivid dreams. I also feel completely refreshed even though I slept 6 or 7 hours.

I took 20 mg of Melatonin daily for five years as part of preventative treatment following surgery for metastatic melanoma. It was prescribed to boost my immunity. I didn't have a re-occurrence of melanoma for five years and was taken off melatonin. After stopping, I started having trouble with anxiety, depression, fluctuating emotions, and insomnia. I can't say with absolute certainty it is due to melatonin; but I have never experienced any of these conditions before until I stopped taking it.

I was advised to take 20 mg of Melatonin a day to boost immunity following diagnosis and surgery for metastatic melanoma. I took Melatonin for five years. After I stopped, I started having trouble with anxiety, emotions and insomnia. I don't know if it's directly related to melatonin, but it is a neuro-hormone that I took at a high dose for an extended period of time; and I have never experienced anxiety or insomnia until I stopped taking it.

I was my brother's caregiver when he had ALS, so I couldn't take a sleep aid because if he needed me in the middle of the night, I had to be available. But after he died, I had trouble sleeping because I kept thinking of things I could have done different or better. I was depressed because my little brother died. My doctor suggested melatonin, 5MG, and I tried it. On the first night, I had the first good night's sleep in over 1-2/2 years. Now, when I feel anxious, I take one and I sleep very well.Read More Read Less

Since starting this regime I haven't had cramping in my stomach or diarrhea, ie, a storm in my stomach. It is such a relief. I hope it last. Nothing as been so effective.
