User Reviews for Melatonin (with B6) oral

I take 3 mil time release 1 hr before bedtime, this puts me to sleep for about 4 hrs, then I take another 2 mil to sleep the balance of the night. I have tried other sleep aids that work however, I feel this medication is less harmful when taking for longer periods of time.

Was waking up every couple of hours. Mel+B6 has me sleeping all night. Have had one experience of a brief dizzy spell mid day but I'm not sure if it's attributed to the supplement.

It helps me sleep, I only feely a bit sleepy in the morning if I have not slept enough - I take 6 grams- with no side effects and have read that is really does not have any side effects to cause any harm to your health.

My sleeping problem has'nt helped with melatonin

Before taking this medication I use to sleep few hours per nigth, now I am sleeping 6 to 8 hours.

I am a recent widow and have had difficulty sleeping. The 'PM' drugs left me groggy in the mornings! I tried Melatonin and have been sleeping very well. If I awake during the night to use the bathroom, I do not feel lightheaded or groggy. I am able to return right away to a sound sleep. I wake in the mornings very refreshed which I consider a blessing! I take the 3mg and have only had to double the dose a couple of times. I have more energy as I am not sleepy during the day.

I have tried everything from prescribed medications to over the counter sleep aids and nothing seems to work. Last night I took 10mg of the melatonum with B6 from over the counter (my doctor recommended this). It took me over an hour to get to sleep although after 20 minutes I started getting very lightheaded. I slept 3 hours and have been dizzy and lightheaded all day.If I close my eyes the room spins. This might be a good thing for some patients but I would never recommend this, and if you do try it, start with a small dose. I feel like I've been drunk all day. Never Again. Read More Read Less

I've have insomnia for the past 3-4 years. I've been prescribed both Ambien and Lunestra. With Ambien, I have been sleep eating. With Lunestra I have severe bitter taste in my mouth that lasts the entire day. I still have insomnia, even if I take both Ambien and Lunestra together. I do get some sleep but usually it takes several hours to fall asleep. My sleep is not continuous and I usually wake up several times during the night. I decided to try Melatonin. For the first time, I took 3 Mg of OTC Melatonin at approx. 3PM. I developed flushing, shakes and nervousness within an hour. Either 3 Mg was too much to start with or I'm not accustomed to the side effects. I can't imagine going to sleep if I took this in the evening.Read More Read Less

I have tried every sleep aid there is out there and nothing seemed to work for me. I would stay awake until 2, 3 even 4am with no reason why. When my doctor suggested this supplement, I was hesitant but I figured what else is there. I was amazed how within an hour or so of taking the supplement I passed out cold and didn't wake up til the next morning. To this day, melatonin is my new best friend when I have trouble sleeping.
