Default Melatonin whipped my u know what !
Oh my gosh folks ! Took my first 5 mg Melatonin last night and it's the worst drunk I've EVER had. Stumbled around like a drunk, felt drunk, went to bed and thought I was going to throw up because my head was spinning.

Did I start at too high a dose ?

I don't think I'll be trying this again.

Just wanted to share and see if maybe I took too much or had a reaction to it or something....weird

I had a very hyper reaction every time I tried melatonin.. it was more like caffeine for me...
I gave the rest of the bottle to a friend cause it was not working at all to help me sleep.

Did you at least sleep good? I've never take more than 3mg, which is the size my Melatonin capsules come in.

3 mg is my dosage, and it takes a good while for me to feel any effects...which are mild. But it affects everyone differently.

Give me Benadryl, though, and I'm walking into walls.

Default Thanks for the replies everyone :)
I did sleep all night but felt groggy all day yesterday.

I can tell from your messages that I absolutely took TOO much ! I should have read up on it more before taking it. All I saw on the shelf was the 5 mg and I just thought, stupidly, that it was the dosage everyone took.

I probably would have felt better if I had thrown the stuff up

That sure was a learning experience !

Debi, If you have a 5mg tablet, cut it up in fours or more and go from there. Consider the sleep remedy I take now for quite a few years. I'm so thankful for my good sleep.

I get hung over from a much reduced amount of Melatonin. I also tried Caroline's recipe and besides not sleeping very well I was hung over the next day. This is a perfect example of how something may work perfect for some and not for others

Could be a lot of factors: age, bodyweight, meds one takes etc etc. Maybe try working with Calms Forte' only. I know when I started with it years ago, I talked to Hylands about it and they said it's their #1 selling product. Probably 15 yrs ago or more I had bought some melatonin and I don't remember if it was 3mg or 1mg but I remember how groggy I was and never took it again for a lot of years until this low dose came to me via Dr. Eric Braverman of LifeExtension.

I had a very similar experience with Melatonin. So at present I take 3 1000mg of glycine. It sure puts me in a very relaxed mood before retiring for the night.

My dose is 1/2mg Melatonin and Inositol and Gaba which are in my sleep combo whch is posted here in a couple places. I sleep good, 8+ hrs with one wake up at 3AM or so for bathroom. I buy 1mg source naturals tablets and break in half. I have some glycine headed my way and will be taking some as I also hear it's helpful for arthritis.

BTW: I start my melatonin etc at 7:30PM which starts preparing body for sleep at 11PM or a little earlier.
