I love melatonin

They help me *get* to sleep, but don't do anything to help me "stay" asleep.

Give me Ambien, or give me death.
 
I've been taking 10 mg of Melatonin for the past few years when I really need to get to sleep. It works well, but makes me itch for some reason.
 
I also use the smallest dose (3mg) of melatonin when I *know* I need to get some sleep if there's some difficult hours coming up at work. Works great, and puts me right to sleep. Really useful since sometimes I work all night, and sometimes all day.
 
I take 5mg almost daily and it really helps me to get to sleep. When I'm on nights and need to sleep during the day I take off brand walmart sleeping pills. I get the type where it suggests you take two and only take one, two will knock me out for a day.

I tried Ambien, lets just say we didn't get along.
 
Nobody gets along with Ambien long-terrm. You're always just one day away from having a psychotic episode.

Melatonin helps me get to sleep, but it doesn't help me stay asleep. Usually one 3mg melatonin combined with one Benadryl (diphenhydramine) does the trick to be able to get to sleep and not wake up an hour later.
 
Would love some, but like all drugs/pills, probably effing side effects. Benefit too low for the risk.
 
Even one melatonin cap is like many, many times the natural melatonin your body would be producing, IIRC. Terrible idea.

I'll stick to Ambien (LOL, actually no, I don't recommend this shit unless extremely necessary.)

Amen brother, ingesting a hormone that your body produces naturally seems like a bad idea to me.
 
I prefer to just get only a few hours a day and feel knocked out the natural way every 4AM. Looks and feels like it's that time of night again...
