Just took 5mg a few minutes ago after reading about it on arfcom.

What should I expect?

With Melatonin, you still have to do your part to fall asleep (if you have trouble falling asleep). If you putz around, it won't really do much.

If you have the lights down low and have limited noise, you may feel sleepy.

Your penis may fall off.  Or, you might fall asleep.  I'm not sure which.

Works well for me, usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour for the 5 mg tab to kick in.

I use 3 mg or 6 mg about once a week on one of "those" nights to help me sleep.

About 30% of the time I get very vivid dreams.

expect the part of your brain that makes it for you to atrophy and stop producing it so that you'll never again be well rested without taking pills from your bottle of Chinese manufactured synthetic melatonin.

Has that been proven? Not saying it wasn't, just always heard it as a rumor.

with 5mg's not a damn thing I've been taking 25mg's with zero effect.  I began to drink this and within 20-30 minutes I'm out.  Damn military made me immune to melatonin and motrin.

Doesn't work for me unless I take it as I am going to bed

Works great for me when I need something to help me sleep.  Typically puts me out for a good 8 hrs

Alcohol in larger quantities has been proven to be more effective. Tonight try 3 glasses of bourbon, they must be consumed within an hour of starting. this should allow you to sleep the entire night.

Wow, your brain must be the size of a Voltswagon to take 25 mg.

 



There's no difference in taking 1 or 2 mg to taking 100mg. It's a hormone. And has to be taken within normal sleeping cycle.

My brain is the size of hot wheels Volkswagen beetle.  I take the melatonin about a hour before I want to go to sleep and then I start reading a book, about 3 hours later i'm still awake.

It works but it is a synthetic hormone not a natural supplement like people think. Personally I'd rather throw back a double shot of whiskey if I needed a sleep aid. YMMV
8/15/2015 8:35:11 PM EDT
[#38]
It works great for me. I take it at most twice a week. I sleep like a baby. With no "hangover" the next morning like I get with anything benedryl based.

All it does is tell your brain "its dark, go to bed bitch."

I took my first dose over a year ago.  It was 5 or maybe 10 mgs, IIRC.  Thought I was going to die.

One milligram works fine for me.  Fifteen minutes, and I'm out like a light.
8/15/2015 10:44:25 PM EDT
[#41]
For me it takes a few hours to kick in.



I do not  take more than 10mg or it turns me into a zombie the next morning.




If i take it more than once every week it doesnt do shit for sleep. Just gives me whacked out cartoonish dreams.

This is not what I posted. ... Why did a Mod edit my post? Someone read the CoC to Paul. It says nothing about discussing the affects (or ineffectiveness) of melatonin on oneself.

I just started on 1 1/2 to 2 mg last week, seems to help me get to sleep but with weird dreams before I wake up in the morning. Pharmacist said too much would cause nightmares. I may try that tonight.

Vivid dreams.  I just took some.  It helps me sleep through the night without waking up occasionally.

Well if you go to bed and try to fall asleep, you probably will.

Not near as much as 400mg's of Trazodone (I've administered it) lol

Based on that dosage you will fall into a deep sleep and never, ever wake up.

Helps me sleep.  However it makes me have incredibly lucid and horrific dreams. I sometimes wake up a wreck.  


I stopped taking it because of the nasty dreams

Vivid dreams. Mine weren't scary, just VERY vivid.
