It does work. It's not for every night use, just when you need it. My mom got some for my dad at the health food store (couldn't find it at Walmart). It says on the bottle how much to take. My dad takes one tablet before he wants to go to sleep. I'm sure constant use for many years isn't good for a person, but for occasional use it has proven to be safe.

I guess we make melatonin naturally but some people dont make enough. my sisters doctor said it cannot hurt you its a natural thing we already have in our bodies. I took one table just once and it didnt do anything for me. Im wondering if i could take more than one???

I think what you're referring to that sometimes our bodies don't make enough of is serotonin. That's why some people end up on anti-depressants because the lack of serotonin in their brain. As for the melatonin, I wouldn't take more than one of them at night unless you talk to your doctor. Well, let me rephrase that. I would take more than one, probably two, but we're not supposed to. I've taken more than one of a natural sleeping pill before and it didn't hurt me, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't hurt you. I just don't want to tell you to do something dangerous.

The pill my dad takes is supposed to be dissolved under his tongue. Is that how yours is to be taken?

T took it before. I read the label as to how much to take. It did help relax me and made me fall aslepp but I only stayed asleep for about 3 or 4 hour. It is a herb so if you are on any medicines ask your doctor or a pharmist if it is safe.

yes, it really does. you should talk to your doctor but i find that melatonin does work. i take 500 mg when i need to and i find that it doesnt make you tired in the morning.

ok i have looked up studies on melatonin. the study concluded that it only works to help people who sleep during the day. you got to remember that the human body releases melatonin naturally at night when people sleep in response to the dark. its impossible to do this during the day time. thats while melatonin in pill form helps during the day. if people have graveyard shift it would do them some good.

Whatever article you read is incorrect. I called my doctor and he said it should be taken ONLY at night and right before bed. Meletonin is a natural hormone we produce and it you take more than your body produces on its own you will sleep better at least thats what my doctor told me. I wanted to actually hear from people who took it and say it worked. Thanks elmiko have a good day!!
