i took a regular dosage of melatonin and i didn’t feel any more tired and actually felt a little more apt at articulating and visualizing, and had racing thoughts to the point where it felt like i was consistantly thinking/dreaming/waking up randomly throughout the entire night. i woke up feeling surprisingly rested, but like my head had been through a sort of marathon. any idea why this could have happened?

I have a question about the right use of melatonin.

I’m having a trouble sleeping so I’m taking melatonin. I’m taking melatonin at about 1 am every night and I’m sleeping nicely. Do I need to take melatonin at about the same time everyday? Or is it ok to take it before I wanna fall asleep even if it’s still daytime? Like lets say I have something to do at night and need to be awake till very late tonight. Now It’s still about noon but I have time to kill for a few hours. Even tho I’m not sleepy, is it ok to take melatonin now and sleep for this few hours to be wide awake at night?

Also can I take a melatonin supplement if I’m 16 years old? I though I read somewhere you shouldnt take it if your under 35. What would happen if I took it?

Dr suggested taking melatonin to help sleep however 1 tablet doesn’t help. So that leads to my question. I can’t shut my brain off and I don’t know what else to do. Counseling is not an option as my husband is out of work so money is tight.

I’m looking for some homeopathic all-natural herbal or organic remedies to help with:

1) Pain alleviation.
2) Insomnia.

To start anyways. Recommendations other than scripts/OTC drugs would be appreciated. (I do not like to take scripts unless absolutely necessary as most times they are narcotics, and i do not like putting those things into my body.)

A physical building up of a tolerance for certain medications (even OTCs) can precipitate a loss of effectiveness, hence the physical need to ingest a larger dosage which can result in either a chemical dependency or damage to liver/kidneys and other organs. This is less likely with natural or homeopathic remedies.

Also, I am Vegetarian and ADHD so i only eat all-natural, organic or kosher foods. Nothing with artificial dyes and preservatives as i have a food allergies and i cannot eat them. So suggestions must fit this criteria also.

Thanks if you can suggest anything.
xoxo

oh! almost forgot:
For insomnia: Recommendations Other than Supplemental Melatonin. It does not work effectively. 5mg tablets x ?
Most dosages are at 20+mg and after a certain point can induce coma, especially if mixed with antihistamines such as doxylamine, diphenhydramine, or common non-benzodiazepine sedative hypnotic agents such as eszopiclone or zolpidem. Thanks!
*edit* Minx: As always, this was helpful.
What can i substitute for fish oils? (I don’t remember?!) I do not eat fish and therefore will not take a supplement. *ick* I tried it once before …. *ack!*

I only drink soda on a very rare occasion, for an extra sugar boost. My poison is coffee LOL. This actually dehydrates, and for every 6-8oz cup an 8-oz bottle of water is required to rehydrate the body. It’s a diuretic also, i believe.
You’ll be pleased to know: I’ve been weening myself off of the caffeine, slowly. [ahh the headaches! lol] It’s a process. BTW, did you know, that one apple in the morning will provide you with MORE energy than a cup of coffee?
It’s true.
Anyhow, thanks.

I drank the NOS energy drink, and I felt like I was going into an anxiety attack, so I took some melatonin. Now, I realize that I mixed an upper with a downer. I am starting to feel muscle cramps all over my body, chest pain, shallow breathing,headaches, just feeling weird all together. What could this be? Is it worth going to the hospital in the middle of a snow storm?

I’ve heard you can take unlimited amounts of melatonin with no side effects as it’s a naturally occurring chemical in the body. Is this true?

And what is the best dose to take to induce a lucid dream?

I asked a question earlier, thank you for the person who gave me an idea for using liquid melatonin instead of just stating opinion.

my mother has started taking melatonin as a sleep aid and she is taking 3 3mg pills a night. I’m thinking that’s too much melatonin. She had been taking sleeping pills but now is onto this. Any advice? THANKS!

My sons councler recommend trying melatonin at bedtime to see if that helps him sleep because he hasn’t ever slept through the night and has short REM cycles. Has anyone ever heard of this and/or tried it? I gave it to him 2 nights now but he also has a cold right now so I don’t know if that is also affecting the sleep so the pill isn’t helping or if he just needs to be on it for a certain amount of time before it can start to work. My 3 year old also doesn’t sleep through the night so I was going to ask about him taking it as well if it works for the 5 year old. BTW my mom, myself and even my grandma (my moms mom) don’t sleep well either, never have with really short REM cycles.

There’s nothing on the bottle, other than take it at bedtime. CVS brand if that helps.
Yes, I didn’t know it is supposed to have some long-term effect, I just thought it was to help you get to sleep for one night. And I meant pills that you swallow, not under-the-tongue.

Surprised to hear 5-6 mg doses. It used to be 1mg, and I thought the 3mg we get now is overdoing it.
I should have googled it - here’s a more complete answer: http://www.talkaboutsleep.com/circadian-rhythm-disorders/circadian-rhythm-sleep-disorders/10-how-to-use-melatonin-correctly.htm
