Bill,
I too am no doctor, but have been taking Melatonin now for over a year, even when I wasn't in a cycle, just to help me sleep.
Here's my take on it, my cycle was TOTALLY different this time for the first time in 13 years with these monsters. I have only had
about 1 a week during what is normally a 6-8 wk cycle and they (I hope) seem to be gone a little ahead of schedule too. Melatonin is
a natural hormone that our bodies produce anyway and I say if they help why quit? The worst that's gonna happen is you sleep better
at nite. I don't take as much as you are taking, I only take 3mg a nite so maybe cutting your dose in half would do it. I also went for
the first time ever for 2 years between cycles. Just giving you my experience, hope you stay painfree!
Sue
