User Reviews for melatonin

I have trouble falling asleep, not sleeping. I need to find other drugs to boost the effect to fall asleep.

Helped anxiety because of better/deeper sleep, I think.

I have taken melatonin on and off for years. I generally take 3mg and have found that with just normal 3 mg I will still wake up around 3am. However with 3 mg time released I sleep soundly until 6 am. The time release is the key for me.

It hasn't worked for me.

Started using melatonin when I stopped working third shift. Couldn't get my body to change sleeping schedules naturally. I took 5mg half an hour before going to bed, and it was extremely effective at helping me fall asleep. Unfortunately, I did not stay asleep. I would have terrible, disturbing nightmares that woke me up regularly. I also experienced neck pain and extreme grogginess upon waking the next day (which was likely due to tossing and turning all night). After taking the pills for a few weeks, I decided to stop. I have high anxiety, and the dreams I experienced were worse than the insomnia I was previously battling.Read More Read Less

With a number of pain-causing senior-years issues, melatonin is suggested by my general practitioner to help me get more sleep. It doesn't appear to help, and I am lucky to get 5 hrs./night sleep. Not enough!

GREAT.

Made me very nauseated and a slight headache

HEAD INJURY 30 YEARS AGO DESTROYED MY PINEAL GLAND. THE LACK OF MELATONIN CAUSED ME TO AGE RAPIDLY. LACK OF MELATONIN HAS HAD LITTLE OR NO EFFECT ON MY SLEEPING HABITS. IT WAS 20 YEARS AFTER MY HEAD INJURY BEFORE I FOUND OUT THAT I LACKED A FUNCTIONING PINEAL GLAND AND THAT MY SYSTEM HAD LITTLE OR NO MELATONIN. MOST OF MY AGING PROBLEMS WENT AWAY AS SOON AS I STARTED TO TAKE MELATONIN.

I always have had a difficult time falling asleep and sometimes staying asleep. The 1mg sub-lingual taken about a half hour before bed lets me fall asleep quickly and stay asleep all night. It works fine and no hangover all day.

While Rapid Sleep PM, which claims to have 3mg Melatonin, did appear to help me fall asleep, after 2 weeks of taking 1 capsule (instead of the recommended 2) I am waking up almost hourly and have strange and bizarre dreams/nightmares. And no..... I don't attribute these dreams to anything else happening in my life. The only change in my life is Rapid Sleep PM.

I used this when I wasn't having the best results with my prescription medicine. It worked very well.

My mother accidently gave this to my 6 year old daughter thinking they were useing breath strips that disolve fast (for one it should not be in breath strips at all) I monitered my daughter after word and looked up all side affects.... my daughter did take a nap for about a hour a woke with vomiting and nose bleed... but was ok afterword and followed normal routine behavior.... I was not at all please that this was in breath strips that can be confused so easily and could have been very harmful...Read More Read Less

My friend recommened this to me I was using tylenol PM every night before bedtime to help me sleep I works good. I like the other benefits that go along with it as well!

Nature's Bounty Melatonin has worked very well for me.

there's such a relaxing feelig before I go to bed now: my mind is clear, and my body is relaxed.

Gave terrible nightmares to the point of discontinuation.
