It works wonder for some peoiple and doesn't do shit from others

But for some people a low dose (0.1-0.3mg) is enough while others use as much as 10mg

the best is to try

3mg knocks me out TOO much. I feel sluggish in the morning. I take about 1-1.5g and I get drowsy.

 

[brunette]

crazy nightmares though

You take sublingual melatonin ?
Which brand ?

It take at least 1 hour to have any (slight) effect on me w/ regular melatonin ?

 

[Gigantasor]

What about taking other sleep aids? Like some of thoese over the counter ones? Does this effect your metabolism or any such thing. I do know that I'm usually so doped up that I have a really hard time getting up in the morning to do cardio.

I take normal capsules (with powder in them). They are 3mg each, but I open them and empty the powder on my tongue. I usually take half a pill. I find when I put the powder on my tongue, it hits me faster - about 15-20 minutes. This allows me to take it a little later - and I have a better idea is I am going to need it. I hate taking things BEFORE I know I need them!

ANd brunette - I get CRAZY dreams too. Not usually nightmares, just weird, crazy, vivid dreams.

I've never tried caps
Only tabs which is not as good

I had a bottle of 3mg tabs... but that was too much for me and I'd feel groggy the next morning.

So I picked up a bottle of 1mg tabs and that's pretty much right on. I'll take 1mg to help me sleep through the night and if I'm really hurting, I'll take 2mg to really put me out.

I sleep like a rock on about 3mg. I only take it for about 2-14 days, then I stop. For some reason it seems to set my sleep patterns straight.

 

[anthrax]

How long does it take to give effect ?

 

[Toozee]

about 30 mins.

Get a scrip for Ambien.....works like a dream, literally, no grogginess the next day...

Yes, but it's not a long time solution
You'll get used to it
Then you'll increase the dosage
and get dependant on it

I have used it for a couple years now, I only like the 3mg TIME RELEASED stuff. Otherwise, you get knocked out and then wake up at 2 AM feeling refreshed. Sounds good, but sucks the next day because you didn't get enough sleep.

TIME RELEASED tablets have worked the best for me. It is a POWERFUL antioxidant as well.
