melotonin( i know that it is miss spelled) how many mg do ya'll take before bed, currently i take 2 3mg pills and does not seem to help that much. do i need to take more?

i take just one 3mg tab....too much will leave you groggy the next day. You may also build a tolerance to synthetic melatonin.

 

[jarbulldog]

how long before bed do you take it

 

[Spartie]

one hour

 

[jarbulldog]

Its not really supposed to knock you out...it is supposed to create a better sleep pattern.

Exactly, this is not a knockout drug, you have to get to bed and it may ASSIST sleep but it wont knock your ass out.

3-6mg for me, almost always 3 because there are really no long term studies blah blah, and most of the time it works ok.

Once in a blue moon I stack it with a standard OTC sleeping pill, NOT TYLENOL PM (but the same sleep ingredient without the Tylenol).

the sublingual [ under the tongue ] versions are the fastest acting and most effective . look around at the local health food stores/vitamin shops and you will find it , source naturals brand is a good product if its available in your area .

I sleep so good when I take Melatonin. The last time I took it my girlfriend said I was talking in my sleep and I was being attacked or someone was chasing me in my sleep. Then I remembered that Melatonin will do that. I take 3 ,1 mg tablets and yes I feel grogy next day for a while. I don't really take it anymore unless I feel like getting chased.

3mg 30 min prior to sleep and I'm set

I sleep okay with it but ambien does me a whole lot better.

I took a single tab of melatonin, I let the gel cap disolve in my mouth and then swallowed it all. It gave me the worst heat rash, I was red and itchy all over. It lasted about a half hour and it was terrible. It was very similar to taking niacin. Anyone else experience this? I'm too afraid to try the stuff again even though I sleep poorly sometimes.

Ambien is a knock out drug and that costs some bread, where Melatonin ran me $6 for 100 pills, and I'm sure thats not the bottom dollar either

I've been taking one 3mg tab, plus one 100mg cap of L-Theanine every night for over a year. No problem going to sleep, or going back to sleep if something wakes me up.
