Anybody ever take Melatonin to help go to sleep?

[JackBrannigan]

I had to stop taking it. Had crazy dreams. One time I was sleeping at my buddy's house and his girlfriend's friend was there. I slept on the floor since it was a girl and she slept on the couch. We had been flirting for a while but I wasn't rushing things. So I wake up in the middle of the night and there she is on the couch but the tv is on. The volume is down and I don't want to turn it up because people are sleeping but they have my picture on the news and they're talking about this girl on the couch. I can't make out what they're saying but I'm thinking fukk, this is bad. They think I kidnapped or raped this bytch. She's on the fukking couch though. I stumble in the dark to the bathroom and threw some water on my face. I felt like shyt the whole time like I was gonna stroke out or something. Then I woke up. The tv was on playing a concert we were watching when we went to sleep. The girl was on the couch sleeping. I still felt like shyt - like something was wrong with my head or something. I went to the bathroom and threw some water on my face. Then I woke up and did the same shyt. I was finally really awake. I didn't want to go back to sleep. That girl was on the couch and for some reason I felt like a creep.
fukk melatonin.

Prescribed? Isn't it over the counter?

I'd never had trouble sleeping before so I had no idea melatonin existed so my doctor was the first to tell me about it. After the visit, I went and bought over the counter.

i dont think it has that affect. its not like tylenol pms..its a supplement. it helps you get on a sleeping pattern...not just fall asleep

but those vivid ass dreams

I've been wondering about this. I haven't done much research but I didn't think it was habit forming.... I have vivid ass dreams anyway.... how could they get worse?

Now that I've been back at the gym regularly, that's helping. Might try it though on those nights (like last night) when my mind won't sleep until 5 am

Melatonin wont create a dependency, if u take it too often you just start to build a tolerance.

As far as the vivid dreams, melatonin is what's secreted when you go into rem so taking it as a supplement just speeds that up.

I've never had a bad dream experience....but then again I have a clear conscience
