I would rather post on this thread, than the other sleep thread. Melatonin is a great sleep aid, that has more beneficial effects than just a sleep aid. Do some research on it, and see what you thing. Orion

Do some research on it, and see what you thing. Orion Orion, I was told about Melatonin by a CG buddy's wife who is a Nurse Practitioner about a year and a half ago. Man, it has to be a miracle drug (supplement) for people with sleep disorders! I take one or two pills an hour or two before I plan on going to sleep and I sleep soundly! I get it at Costco, 300 pills for about $9.00. GREAT stuff! And it's all natural! Anyone in here who has trouble getting to or staying asleep get yourself some! You'll be amazed!

No effects the next day? Not sluggish to get up? If so, I have to try it, as sometimes I have major bouts with insomnia. Other times I have to force myself to stay out of the bed before 8 or 9.

I have prescribed melatonin for a decade or so and use it myself. It is now widely accepted in mainstream medicine and used often as a first line treatment. It is a substance our bodies produce naturally and some folks do not produce enough. It is so widely used now, that one can by 'night time' or 'sleep milk' in many countries which is fortified with melatonin. I need to pick some up again and don't have a Costco near me damnit! [;)] No, it produces no after effects as other sleeping aids can. Happy Sleeping! EG

Fast reply: No after effects really, though when you wake up, you may be slightly sluggish because it produces a very deep REM sleep. The sluggishness wears off in a snapp though, like just a couple of minutes. Other effects are: migraine prevention, reduction of anxiety, reduction of depression, boosts the immune system, in higher doses can be a contraceptive (do not try these higher doses though). Do not use it if you are on MIAO's. Here is a Mayo clinic link for it, and I recommend researching it thoroughly before you start taking it. I take 6 to 9 mg a night. Oh it is also used to come off of things like diazopam and lorazopam. The drug companies really do not like this supplement, and hopefully it will not go the way of DSMO. If you do not know what DSMO is, it would have been the modern equivilent to aspirin, an over the counter remedy for many, many things, but the drug companies got the FDA to ban it. Orion

Pharmaceutical companies are wonderful things aren't they? They can do wonders and despicible things at the same time. [sm=meh.gif][sm=trident.gif]

Yeah, I have a little slugishness for about 3-4 minutes right when I get up but by the time the coffee's done it's gone! Amazing. My friend who's a Nurse Practitioner said her daughter 14, was having trouble sleeping until she started giving her some then no more problems after that. And yes, it is a naturally occuring substance in the body that some people don't have enough of. So, it's so much better than taking expensive drugs. I'll be wide awake some mornings at 1 or 2 then take 2 pills , 6 mg and an hour later I'm yawning and heading into bed and ten minutes later I'm sound asleep! I HIGHLY reccommend it!
