Melatonin

So I tried taking melatonin because I can’t sleep well at night. But IT DOES NOT WORK! I take 1 5mg of melatonin but it still doesn’t do anything. I’m still sleepless. Should I increase my dosage to 2 5mg?

Hello. Melatonin was never strong enough for me either, so you're not alone.

No. Actually try much less (.3 to 3 mg max) With melatonin more isn’t better. I like using gummies or you can try a liquid.

If you have zero success after lowering, ditch it all together.

You can take up to 3mg for sleeping. Anxiety can cause insomnia. Might try talking to someone if this is the case... Hope this helps.. ♥

Hello JohnLennon15,

what pills did you take?

Because I struggled with insomnia for many years. And nothing helped me, so when a friend of mine (he is a doctor) suggest me to read this article vitaminexpress.org/uk/melat... I decided to try melatonin. And it worked.

Anyway you need to discuss dosage with your doctor. Good luck!
