Hi

Congratulations on Day 4! You should be proud.

I'm really glad that you're finally starting to feel a little better, and pleased you got some sleep.

There are still going to be bad days of course, but hopefully now, each day will be just a little better than the one before.

Your doing so well, so hang on in there!

Thinking of you

I may have turned the corner I got some Valerian root and I slept 4 hours straight  twitchy legs are better  Horray for me starting day 4 no pills    34 days of tappering has made this doable . Tappering may not be for everyone but 40 days of feeling kinda crappy versus 7-10 feeling realy crappy. I was able to function the whole time. which was a plus. As life goes on. I had a addvantage of not having  a time table or a limited amount of pills. But I had the one thing that made this possible. I wanted to be rid of the pills. They were running my life and now every day with out them I feel better mentaly. And as always I thank the forum for all that you do

Hi,

Your body just takes up as much Melatonin as it needs. After about 5mg it will simply break it down. There are no harmful ingredients.

If you find it doesn't work for you, try adding Valerian as well.

Hot milk and bananas both contain L-tryptophan which is another natural sleep aid.

Unfortunately there's no magic bullet for sleep disturbance, but as has been said already, it will return to normal in time.

Take care

I sometimes take some sleepy time tea with the same stuff in it...I dont think you can O/D on it but always take as directed especially if your on other prescription meds....Gnarly
btw the room has to be completely dark for melatonin to work

This will pass but until then it does suk the big one.  Just hang in there.  It will get better.....sara

Thanks for the suggestions I think I need to just suck it up and realize that for the next few days I pray this will pass

I would not take more than prescribed on the bottle but if it does nothing for you then take another. You might want to contact a pharmacy that is open 24 hours and talk to the pharmacist, he/she may be able to give you better advice than I can.
