Hi Pippins, for real?  I took it and didn't do a thing.  Doctor told me to try it for the sleep problem we all have.

My doctor told me to take melatonin and it was for the birds.  Didn't do a thing.  No side effects with it.  Most people I've talked about it said the same.  Melatonin works for no one I have spoken to.  I wish it would work, it's not a harmful supplement to take.

Same here! Took melatonin for several months but it had no effect. Wish I knew of something which would work as I am trying to run on empty. Any suggestions?💤💤
