The Melatonin thread

[anthrax]

I have noticed than whenever I take melatonin I wake up a couple of times during the night and I am completely awake after 6 hours of sleep !?

No crazy dreams though (too bad )

Anthrax-


that's weird. If i take it and get less than 7 1/2 - 8 hours then I am noticeably drowsy for a few hours after I wake up.

I do wake up once during the night though to use the bathroom, but i'm pretty sure this is because of all the water i'm drinking. Before I started drinking a gallon and a half a day i never woke up to use the bathroom.

damn. i didn't realize it would shutdown natural production. i've been using it for like 4 months every night now. uh oh!

apparently it slows down the thyroid too, i cant remember who pot up a big long post about that, but it was a guy on the EF board who preached bout "zip" with t-rex for max thyroid productivity . it slows down metabolisim a little i believe if i recal correctly this is why i do not uuse it, even though i have never really been able to sleep well.

I used 9g once and slept for about 11 hours and woke up groggy as hell. It was good 'cause I really needed the rest. I only take 3 - 6 g now and sleep like a baby. I usually only use it on the weekends 'casue I'm afraid to oversleep or be groggy at work.

Knocks me out within 1 hour of taking it.

im sure this was nelson montana. when he talks take it with a grain of salt because he is in for the money, nothing more. he is gone off this board now, he realized people saw through him.

It was one of those weeks were I was just stressed out, had not been getting good sleep and was partied out from the weekend before. So, on Friday night I popped 3, 3g pills a little before midnight and did not wake up until about 11:30 Am the next day. It was well worth the grogginess on the next day. Although, I wouldn't make it a habit.

SoreArms,

have you tried very low dosage ?

Somrtimes the more is not the better

 

[SoreArms]

That's what I do now. Generally 3g, I use it very sparingly, so it is very effective when I do use it. Like I said above, it usually knocks me out within one hour of taking it.

are you meaning to say milligrams? 9 GRAMS of melatonin is an impossible amount
