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.

Melatonin has really helped me sleep better. I started menopause with a bang! Dizziness, hot flashes and night sweats. The Melatonin helps me sleep. It does give you weird dreams, but nothing that I feel is upseting. The dreams are kind of interesting and memorable. They are not nightmares for me like in some people.

My Ob recommended 20 mg to help with insomnia and post menopausal symptoms. I had severe stomach cramping followed by diarrhea at 3am. I tried twice more with the same outcome. Discontinued.

I have always had difficulty sleeping but it was increased when I started working third shift at a hospital. My doctor recommended Melatonin to help me fall asleep during the day and I am very satisfied with how Melatonin helps me sleep better.

Fibromyalgia and menopause have been brutal for sleeping. I find by taking 1/2 a 1mg melatonin with a 1/2 10mg amytripylin helps me get a good sleep.

My husband & I both took 5mg tablet of melatonin to help us sleep. Neither one of us had good night sleep. The next day I was groggy & sleepy but, did not sleep well during the night.

have fourth stage breast cancer-taking 45mg.melatoin for 11/2years-last CAT scan breast tumor dramatically reduced-spots on liver disappeared-check internet melatoin has been use in italt for over 20 years-think it is expensive-why would US drug companies do studies on it-they would not make the big bucks.
