- - Anyone tried Melatonin ? (https://www.quiltingboard.com/general-chit-chat-non-quilting-talk-f7/anyone-tried-melatonin-t147603.html)

Here is a new one I heard about. (have not tried it yet) I have fibroymalgia and wake up 17 times an hour, (sleep study) When I am home from vacation I am going to try this.
SOMNAPURE it also has Melatonin in it. :)

I have used it for a long time. It helps me. There is also a 5mg. and a 10mg.

I have used it. It helps me get to sleep but I still wake up sometimes in the night!

Curious to know if anyone has tried melatonin and if they were able to sleep better and or any side effects I should be aware of !! Thank you, you are always sooooo helpful.

:wink:

Made my heart race. Had hot flashes. Thought I was past all that stuff so stopped. Only took it once. WOW

And the benadryl or the products with benadryl caused halucinations after using for a couple weeks. Really bad ones. I never wanted to close my eyes again for the rest of my life. Double WOW

it didn't help me at all but mu husband uses it and helps him. He uses it when he was doing different shift changes and it messed with his sleep. Just bought another bottle the other day. I belief it's all natural so give it a try.

I actually fly on benadryl....I use melatonin, it helps turn my mind off so I can fall asleep easier...

Yes, I've tried it and it did work for me.

I have used melatonin on and off for several years and sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. It won't hurt you to try.

I have two children that have sleep issues. One has problems with insomnia along with a lot of other stuff, and the other takes meds for ADHD that end up getting him hyper at night.

Both take 2 mg of melatonin. It works ok to get them to go to sleep, but not always to stay asleep. The younger one is 7 and his pediatrician wants him to try 3 mg. He's very small for his age so I've been dragging my feet. The older one is 10 and has had insomnia since 18 months. He takes tranquilizers which help keep him asleep, but we need the melatonin to get him relaxed enough. He is big for his age, so we will be moving on to the tylenol/benadryl combo. It ends up equivalent to tylenol pm and not as addictive as other things.

The trick with any sleep assistance is to make sure you try it for a week or two before making any decision. Also, it may take a combination of things to make something work better.

Each person's body is different and will therefore react differently for everyone. A good suggestion is to talk to a pharmacist about OTC assistance that won't cause dependence or a need for a physician's visit.
