My 6 yr. old son has ADHD & is taking Concerta. He was having trouble settling down for bedtime & not sleeping well. His pedictrician told us to try melatonin, starting with 3mg. He has been taking 6mg about 30 mins. before his bedtime & he is asleep with in 45 mins. It has really helped him rest & he is in a better mood when he gets up. Published: October 11, 2007 ::

I have major insomnia and am very skeptical about taking any medications but my insomnia became so severe I had to do something. I love Melatonin. It's not a miracle worker but very effective. Helps me fall asleep easily without making me feel overpowered or weak, instead it only relaxes me, let's me rest my mind from all thoughts running through my head which keep me up all night worrying and such, I am still able to function normally if for some reason I choose to not go to bed right away (basically it relaxes me and doesn't just knock me out). I do sometimes wake up during the night (or really early in the morning) but at most 1 or 2 times. Melatonin is a great alternative to habit forming, prescription sleep aides that can cause lapses in memory, knock you out and cause other crazy side effects. Published: March 04, 2008 ::

I have MS and am on predasone often. My doctor tryed many scripts that did not work. Finally he said take melatonin,wise man. Works better than anything I have ever tryed. Published: October 29, 2007 ::

Restless sleep no more, all night sleep now Published: March 12, 2008 ::

I'm using Melatonin for sleep.. I work late night 12 hours shift 3 days a week.. Gradually been unable to sleep more than 3 to 5 hours during the day. Tried Amien CR--seems to work but wanted to try something natural. While using the Melatonin I have been able to sleep longer than if i do not take anything ... and less after effect than if I take a prescribed pill!!!! Published: June 27, 2008 ::

I have tried tylenol pm and other over the counter sleep aides but melatonin has been working the best, I now go to sleep and stay asleep until it is time to get up Published: November 24, 2007 ::

I have tried a number of other sleep aids, incl. Tylenol PM, etc., and Melatonin is far more effective. So much so that I tried decreasing the dosage by 50% and it still knocks me right out. Good stuff, but far more potent thsn I would ever have imagined. Use with care. Published: January 16, 2008 ::
