Melatonin is a hormone made by the pineal gland, a small gland in the brain. Melatonin helps control your sleep and wake cycles.
Normally, melatonin levels begin to rise in the mid- to late evening, remain high for most of the night, and then drop in the early morning hours. Natural melatonin levels slowly drop with age. Some older adults make very small amounts of it or none at all.
In adults, melatonin is taken in doses from 0.2 mg to 20.0 mg, based on the reason for its use. The right dose varies widely from one person to another.
I usually only take 1-2mg when I really need it. It's VERY inexpensive.
Best of luck on your decision.
This is what I was looking for, a strong thumbs up from someone with Melatonin. I will add this and try to limit down the benzo amount I have been put on as benzo seems to get out of control with me.
Only input I would have on OP is I found Lyrica to be very helpfull, I have been told non-addictive either. I shall have to grab my Dr by his balls if it turns out he was wrong on this one. But like I said it did seem to carry some shift after two weeks of being on it.
