How long have you been taking melatonin, and have you noticed any long-term problems with it?

I have been taking melatonin for many years. I have never experienced any side effects whatsoever. I find the gummies work better than the pills and greatly assist in falling asleep and remaining asleep throughput the night. They also do not leave you with a hung over feeling that can be experienced with perscription sleeping pills. I hope this is helpful.

I give it to my son who has ADHD, to help settle him to sleep at night. Have only been using it for a month and on a as needed basis. I do know a lot of people/children who take it in a regular basis with no side effects and non habit forming. If your uncomfortable, read the research on it, it is all very positive. It is a chemical that your body produces naturally to aid in sleep.

I have been taking this about 18 months and both my husband and I have noticed any side effects. We did talk to our doctor before starting anything and we were told this was perfectly fine. We love this product and the best part is how cheap it is. :))

How did you know I take these and how did you get my contact info? I thought my purchases were private. To answer your question, yes i do take them. If i had problems with them, i wouldn't be buying them, would you?

I'm pretty sure the box says its for ages 2 and up. My son is 14 months and I feel safe using it occasionally for him because the dose of melatonin is so low though.

Depending upon the brand and the individual taking melatonin, the effects can last up to 12 hours. Most people will do best if they take melatonin an hour or two before they intend to go to bed. Everyone is different so it may be wise to try this on a weekend night to see how you respond.

I've tried melatonin over the counter and it worked better than lunar sleep plus the price is ridiculous. I think it's nothing but a ripoff.

I take two a day, one in the morning and one an hour before bed. With each pill I drink a whole glass of water and drink another 6 glasses through out the day. I still watch what I eat and drink. I've been on it for three months and so far no flare ups. Just follow what they say to do and see if it works for you. Since every one is different it might not work as well for you as it does other people.

I recently used mine every night for a week and a half for ten minute health talks without issues. It seems to me like you have a special issue.

I take 2 each evening and have for about 3 years. My bone density tests have improved the past 2 years and I haven't changed anything else except I've stopped taking calcium.

The label only says melatonin. However, there is a website address AdvantaSupplements.com where you can contact them to ask your question.

I would say after the first 24 hrs....that is to say the first use. My dr told me to use it for 8 hrs a day n I started on the 5000 lux setting. That is usually the lowest setting. Have been doing this for about 3 yrs now n I do use melatonin several hrs befoe bed n I am ready to sleep! I was diagnosed with circadian sleep disorder. That means my brain does not shut down but my body is tired. Was treated for insomnia for several years n finally nothing was helping me get to sleep. I am naturally a night person n work a day shift job...this disorder can cause alot of problems for people like me. My sleep dr confirmed the diagnosis. The light helps the brain to turn around to day so u sleep at night.

It takes me about a week to start feeling better. I have used what I think is this unit most winters for over 10 years. The light bulb is still going strong. However, read Chronotherapy and check out the Center for Environmental Therapies - a light box positioned over your head may be better than this one.

Thanks that does help. I have been having some side effects with it. After a few days my face started breaking out really bad, I have been starving (even when eating healthy foods). I literally eat and about 5 minutes later I feel like I am starving. I have been getting horrible anxiety before I go to sleep at night to the point where it takes me like 4 hours to finally get to bed even though I am exhausted. I have also been feeling seriously depressed and sad.

I think that would effect the time release. Go with another non time release melatonin.

I understand why you would ask this, but rest assure it's non-habit forming. Now, bear in mind I cannot speak for prolonged use, meaning if a person or child takes this consistently for 6 months or more; but my kids take it on and off (1 package on, and about a month in between a new package) and we do fine. For the most part, my kids (age 15,13 and 10) are only affected if I take them off and interrupt their schedule (like ending use on a Friday, letting them stay up all hours on the weekend, then magically expecting them to go to bed early Sunday night). Overall I haven't had too many issues, but we keep Valerian root capsules and Sleepy Time tea on hand just in case.

I threw out the bottle Ruth but there were only 3...5-htp, melatonin, and I think something that started with G...gaba? I apologize for not remembering but I read articles stating the danger of consuming 5-htp so I never used it. Some will disagree with the 5-htp idea but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Good luck. :)
