here in the uk you can only get melatonin prescribed to you from a sleep clinician or a doctor in rare cases. they give out 2mg tablets so rarely. crazy to see 10mg gummies sold to kids in usa
I wonder what dosages were on the shelves back before they cracked down on those weird melatonin brownies. Or the Bob Marley drinks. Those drinks were powerful! Pre-marijuana legalization days.
The more I take, the less I sleep. It makes me have random waking jolts everytime I start to sleep. I sleep better with literally none at all. I take melatonin and I don't sleep for two days. This is after taking only one 10mg tablet.
was taking melatonin to help me sleep if i had to wake up early for work. after taking it a few times i started having REALLY vivid dreams and nightmares. felt like i didn’t even sleep and would wake up tired. lowered the dosage and still the same thing. stopped taking it and just made sure i have a good routine before i sleep!
Took 5mg last night and had a super vivid dream I was a police officer first day on the job with a live baby alligator in my hand and no one would help me do whatever I needed to do so I was irritated lol Felt hungover when I woke up. Definitely wayyy too much
I found a brand that has 1mg tablets -- and they're scored so you can cut them in half with a sharp knife. I found that the high dose tablets made me wake up in the middle of the night, and gave me a "melatonin hang-over" in the morning as well. I did some research on the internet, and found that my experience parallels the results of actual scientific research -- the _smaller dose actually works _better_ (in fact, I now try to take about 1/3rd of a milligram, for best results).
I'm so glad you aren't in charge of melatonin regulation. The No. 1 melatonin researcher in the world takes 180mg/night because that's the dose, by weight, that equals what he gives his mice that produces all the best benefits. With my weight, I take 500mg/night.
@@jaypalnitkar4400people have insomnia bro we need it for a good sleep Other sleep medications have worse side effects than melatonin has only groggy feeling i think
Now I wonder if chronic overdose of melatonin can cause permanent sleep cycle issues or other health concerns. Or even simply using it properly for long periods of time. 🤔
@@pierer91 if you take high dose melatonin you may get side effects. It takes your body time to get used to the dosage. If you build up the dosage slowly, you will avoid those side effects.
It ruins your next day you’ll be grumpy and mean and the next night won’t be able to sleep dizziness and nausea I took 12 for my first time and it ruined me I was so mean
Bro I’ve taken 80mg before and still couldn’t sleep. They should specify if you have insomnia …… they won’t work….. or do anything for that matter hahaha
Yes if you😢doing it for sleep but there much more benefits than sleep that you get at higher doses. There are many studies that have proven that melatonin is safe at a lot higher doses than your stating. Even in the hundreds of mg.
The No. 1 melatonin researcher in the world (Dr. Russell Reiter) said he takes 180mg/night and he doesn't know a single researcher who takes LESS THAN 100mg/night. And, he said, he knows them all! He also says you CANNOT overdose on melatonin. It has a feedback signal that prevents any negative side effects.
@@NMW80 And how many years have you been studying melatonin? Dr. Russell Reiter made melatonin his life's work since around 1960! He references diabetics he knows who've been talking 1,000mg/day for years to prevent atherosclerosis and they're in perfect health. He offers the necessary caveat that perhaps, maybe, somewhere someone could be hurt by melatonin. But he's never seen it. Whereas 32,000 people a year die from prescription drug misadventures and aspirin kills 10,000 people a year! He says melatonin is safer than water. People drown in water every day!

Yeah, I just took 70mg. Doc suggested 3mg to start. Useless. 5mg also useless. 10mg, 20mg, 30mg... nothing. So I just now took 70mg and if I don't get at least SOME sleep I am going to fucking punch somebody! Grrrrr!!! (*I can't get ambien or xanax or any benzo because I have a history of opioid abuse. 10 years clean as of 3/23/23, doctor still says he can't risk me getting hooked on sedatives. I've taken Vyvanse (basically speed) for ADHD for 8 years and never abused it once. I always take it as prescribed. Never got hooked on that or alcohol or weed or benzos despite trying all of the above as an incredibly careless and naive young 20-something. Opioids are the only thing to ever cause me serious problems. But 🤷♀️
I know someone will say just stop taking speed, idiot! It's not ACTUALLY speed, I was generalizing. Vyvanse wears off completely in 12-14 hours. Patients on Vyvanse have no more disruption to sleeping patterns than anyone else. Also, insomnia issues pre-date ADHD diagnosis and treatment, and for 6 of 8 years on Vyvanse I had no sleep trouble.
What was the snort like? Does it cause and irritation? I bought melatonin in bulk because it's massively cheaper. But it's a pain in the ass to fill capsules to the proper dosage.

desperation will definitely keep you up at night. Hope you are feeling better

You need to take it slowly. The side effects won’t happen if you go slow.

Bruh I hate bad dreams and I just took 26mg how was your experience
Wait so the side effects increase vivid dreams thats what i want
There are numerous people who take 300+ mg daily and do just fine

Ah come on.
@@yungniggabased make your goal 100 MG a day ☺️😆👍
I took 24mg. last might( I usually take 12) and got groggy before bed, but slept great. 5 mg. wouldn't do a thing for me.
Melatonin is not like Ambien, it is NOT a sleep initiator.
factor in all the meals you eat throughout the day, that half milligram is flushed out in no time.
Even a little leaves me dragging rhe next day . Even early in the evening. I won't take it
I feel weird for taking 40mg a night now..
Super good antioxidant so don’t worry
Already have those so im trying it
Melatonin makes me very angry in the morning and I hate it I need a substitute maybe I can get a medical card or something
A medical card? What is this, smoking weed in 2002?
That’s cos u are taking too much. Cut back to smaller doses and it should help.
