A Dr from the Texags site was advocating melatonin early on last year to combat covid
Looks like your mother was right!
Has the NIH recommended Ivermectin or republished any of the many studies showing it is effective against Covid?
Nope.
melatonin: 36–72 mg per day given in four divided doses

Melanin, Afrocentricity, and Pseudoscience BERNARD R. ORTIZ DE MONTELLANO Anthropology Department, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan 48228
KEY WORDS olution Melanin, Afrocentric, Pseudoscience, P-MSH, Melatonin, Ev- ABSTRACT A component of the Afrocentric movement has incorporated a theory that black people, including ancient Egyptians, have superior men- tal, physical, and paranormal powers because they have more melanin both in their skin and in their brains.
By extension it is also claimed that black people have more melatonin and P-MSH in their systems and that these compounds also contribute to the superiority of people of color over whites. In this paper, these claims are detailed and refuted.
A review of the genetics and biochemistry of human pigmentation shows that all humans have sim- ilar amounts of neuromelanin (brain melanin), and that its concentration is absolutely independent of skin color; that adult humans do not synthesize P-MSH; and that human melatonin has no clearly demonstrable physiological function and no relationship to skin color.
“Melanists” also distort human evolution by claiming that European whites are descendants of negroid albinos.
The main problems posed by this ideological movement are that it will increase the already rampant scientific illiteracy in this country, it will contribute to further widening the gap between the races, and, most importantly, it is being introduced into the public school curriculum under the guise of multicultural education.
When I contracted COVID late last October, I contacted my family doctor because I am a heart patient that had bypass surgery at the end of 2017.
In addition to C/D/ Zinc, he recommended 5/10 MG Melatonin at night and 20 mg Pepcid twice a day. It was just like a bad cold to me. Headache 1 day. No fever and never lost taste and smell. I did not have the terrible fatigue that many have, either.
Melatonin might also give you horrific, vivid nightmares...
Whoa, that’ll knock you out good
Most protocols call for 6-12 mg
Better check that dose, publish a link
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!
I tried melatonin years ago. I think it increased my bp. Anyone else have any negative side effects?
I could get those just by watching CNN. I don't even need to be asleep!
Precisely why I take it. Also, it helps me get to sleep.
See my post 8.
As already mentioned..nightmares.
look for the demonization and ridicule of melatonin to begin
and calls for only doctors to prescribe it
i took a mild dose. maybe 3mg . crazy nightmares
had to stop after a few times
will take it if I get covid
I have to take my NAC in the daytime, because my dreams are too vivid when I take it at night. Also take a time-released version of melatonin. No problems so far.
