well prior to my start of taking the melatonin I had insomnia for 7 years, minus 2 years I was on ambien. I have serious sleep problems. I guess with any medicine there are side effects. If my brains fried when i am 75 because of melatonnin then so be it. I mean all these guys are put steroids into there bodies so I know theres a lot worse I could be doing (no offense to you guys). I do not trust doctors unfortunately. My father is one and he only wants to prescribe rx drugs for my sleep. He gave me ambien and sonata for 2 years and I got addicted. He should have given it for 14 days like your suppose to. I wish I didn;t have to take drugs at all but insomnia has ruined my life physucally and metallly and in the last 2 weeks 1 mg melatonin (with some zinc and magnesium? has actually started to fix it.
Also for the guy that said something about benedryl. It makes me feel like I drank 10 beers the night before when I wake up after taking it.
