Melatonin
Apr 21^st, 2011 at 5:11pm

I used Melatonin for the first time a couple of nights ago. I took 5mg extended release. I fell asleep quickly but had a HA about an hour and a half after doing so. I must have been pretty sound asleep and didn't wake until it was pretty bad. It took quite a while for the o2 to take care of it. Now I'm a little worried about trying it again.

I know a lot of you all find it really helpful and wonder if I should give it another chance?

Thanks,

Jeannie

My neurologist has me on a regimen of 15 mg of melatonin 2 hours before bedtime. It takes about a week for it to become effective for me, but it does seem to stop the 2am nasties. I'm usually pretty groggy during the day for the first 3 or 4 days after I start it, but that goes away.

My best wishes that it helps you, too. It is always nice to be able to sleep through the night when I'm in a cycle.
