Thank you, Mrs.D, as a matter of fact, I did try using melatonin when I started using vitamin supplements: Methyl B12, D3, benfotiamine, magnesium, ALA & omega3.

The melatonin did not help me at all. I gave it a fare shot and used up the bottle. My night lights are 4 watt yellows. Should I just stay in bed wide awake and try to go back to sleep even if it takes hours? I have always kept my room dark for sleep. Should I stop using the effexor? My neurologist is also certified in pain management so he also handles all my drugs for me.
