Melatonin isn't a silver bullet but there is evidence that supports it as likely safe and effective for some people with disordered sleeping

Yes, we call all find evidence to support or refute whatever it is that we want supported or refuted, online. I'll stick to NIH where supplements are concerned, as trusted to me, for information.

The whole discussion about Ambien, yes, it is for short term use, but if it's long term, it means that you have an underlying psychiatric condition.

Depressive Disorder and Anxiety State. That's my 'conditions', on top of MS.

So, again, appreciate your concern and appreciate that Melatonin works for you and others.

I don't abuse it, and I don't have a physical dependency on it. But I do appreciate the concern.

I'm leery of the vitamin/supplement side of life. So, to each their own, eh?
