OMG! Me, too! When I was going through a rough patch and having trouble sleeping, a Dr. recommended it. No mention of the side effects.
One night on it and that was MORE than enough! Really terrifying dreams! Violent and surreal.
It doesn’t effect everyone this way, which is good, but no thank you!
It’s the Devil. 😈
I have those without the melatonin.......In fact, last month I dreamed Biden won the election, and.............
I usually take a melatonin and a Benadryl to sleep but after a few days I have to stop the melatonin. It causes me to wake up severely depressed. I sometimes wake up crying. I wait a few days and when I get tired of waking up at 3am I take it again for a few days.
That usually means the dose is too high to start with. It can give you a few weird dreams until your body adjusts.
I was having a problem with having NO dreams and never feeling rested after a full sleep. Melatonin brought back the ability to dream and consequently, i feel more rested.
It doesn’t help me fall asleep, but it improves the quality of my sleep.
There are some folks who really do struggle with it so maybe they aren’t needing it.
