Melatonin

[Djinn]

I've been having trouble sleeping and thought I'd try Melatonin. I took 1 pill last night and it knocked me out and I'm STILL groggy all of today. I feel like I have mono or Epp Barr. Any experiences with this? I'm never touching it again.

How much did you take? You dose may have been far too high. I've never had issues with being groggy but anything over about 1mg will give me sleep paralysis. Use a lower dose and its not a problem for me.

Ahhhhhh see this is the problem I only took 1 pill. But the pills come in 3 mgs each. Maybe I'll crush it and mix a third of it in water.

Cheers,

Hmmm....ive used 5mgs + Ambien in the past

I have used between 1-2mg and have had good luck. When I take it consistently for a couple days in a row (at thsi same dose) i start to feel like you mentioned above (droggy all day)... try a little lower does maybe to see if that works better.

not to bad...definitely put me out. How long did your sleep last? If you took it cuz you had to sleep and woke yourself up within about 6hrs you will feel like crap. (that was my experience at least) Best experience thus far is with 8-10hrs available.

the only thing that works for me is x-dreams by ibe. i've tried the night time tea/valerian/mealtonin combo and wound up just groggy not refreashed. give it a shot.

I take 1-3mg tab...works pretty well...but I tend to be a little slow waking up.

Goonstopher and Justreading are going to be posting up observations on Total Force 1 (a male hormonal optimizer, hGH secretagogue, anti-aging, night-time sleep aid) by Force of Green Labs...I'm very interested in seeing their results...I may soon have a new sleep aid...plus...

x2 on XDreams.

X-dream has a quick-onset type of Melatonin called 2-bromo-melatonin and does not last as long, which is why users do not feel the grogginess when waking up.

I'll be honest....300-600 mg of melatonin is perfect for me occasionally... never over 3mg ever! If I even take over 3mg... the cortisol release that is present when your body wakes up is the only thing that gets me out of bed...when that cortisol release decreases I will feel the zombie like effects kick in and last all day long...almost like a phenibut overdose. It happened to me the other day, and I was an A-hole all day to everybody.

Like Rev said...Total Force-1 has many other benefits along with Melatonin... BUT the melatonin dosage in TF-1 is low enough to get the benefits of it early enough during sleep and will wear off when waking which will result in little to zero grogginess. The key here is dosage. More is only good if you want to be KNOCKED out but you will pay for it the next day or two.
