melatonin doesn’t seem to be mentioned
Yes it is mentioned at the end of the excerpt.
For some, like me, melatonin is the Devil.
Sit straight up, heart pounding and sweating bullets.
From the write up:
“If medication is to be used, melatonin might be a safer option…”
Melatonin isn’t a drug, per se. Your body naturally produces melatonin. But I understand taking it long term has its effect, as in you body stops producing it naturally, so it ends up playing havoc with your circadian rhythm.
Sometimes I take 1/4 of a melatonin pill before bed. Works great. But taking as much as 1/2 of a pill ... headache and nausea the next morning.
