quick melatonin question

[BeastLt12]

Do you just follow dosing on the bottle? i've wanted to try this stuff so i got a bottle of 100 pills (3mg each) any opinions?

I've read that you shouldn't take them for an extended period of time or take more than the specified amount, but I have taken 9mg for a month or 2 with no ill effectsStart out slow though, they have a tendency to create WILD dreams or even nightmares. So just start out with one and see how you tolerate it. Some people can't sleep for the dreams

Stuff knocked me on my arse!

Start small. If you cant sleep go up. Some people hit 6mg and it fucks them up worse than a double shot of everclear chased by wild turkey Others it takes like 20mg just to thing they are sleepy.

does it just make you sleep better or what?

IT makes me sleep good. IT also helps me fall asleep. I believe the reason people say you should not stay on it for an extened period is because you get dependet on it to fall asleep.

I think the reason not to stay on is that melatonin, like seratonin is a hormone produced by the body & you can shut down natural production of it.
