might as well take a placebo

4/5/2009 3:39:50 AM

im no pill pusher, so i dont know what melatonin is. but i hope it's some sort of sedative. you post too much.

4/5/2009 3:40:00 AM

It is a sedative, and it works pretty well.

Thanks for the compliment En Sabeh Nur

it's a regulating hormone that helps to keep your circadian rhythms in check. also a fairly potent antioxidant.

4/5/2009 3:41:30 AM

Well I guess that makes it a sedative for me considering I fell asleep at 7am last night and a normal circadian rhythm would have me asleep by now.

Unisom is definitely stronger though.

False. That shit's for real.

"circadian rhythms"

Exactly. Unless you're trying to treat jet-lag, you should only take melatonin at sundown.
but at 3:45 am?.... I'll still work, but it'll also fuck up your sleep cycle.

Last night I had a cool ass dream. I was on some wooden jungle gym set with walls and enemies kept coming at me. The demonic horse came last, I ran back to the dead end, jumped over the wall to a farther point and avoided him to get to an open area. I was looking for something to help me fight because I was punching stuff. I found a machete then I heard the doorbell ring and woke up

Usually I dream when I oversleep. Melatonin doesn't do much for dreams but we'll see.

Sometimes it does... for me, at least. Crazy dreams.

4/5/2009 3:58:35 AM

Well I'm going to sleep.

The only thing better then crazy dreams are lucid dreams (excluding nightmares).

4/5/2009 4:00:26 AM

have you tried a melatonin enema? i've heard those work great.

4/5/2009 4:00:48 AM

4/5/2009 4:01:35 AM

why do you take so much? melatonin's dose curve is non linear and works most effectively for most people in doses between 0.2-5.0 mg. That is to say, efficacy sharply drops outside of this range for most people, so you arent really doing yourself any favors to take more.

not really, at least not in my case.

ive taken melatonin several times to induce a nap...works like a charm, get up an hour later and i'm good to go.
go to bed at a decent time that night.....next day, i have no desire to take a nap.

4/5/2009 10:19:42 AM

hope it kills you

4/5/2009 10:29:16 AM

I'm going to take some melanin.


cause I love black people!

4/5/2009 1:59:55 PM

you people and your drugs

4/5/2009 2:01:26 PM

I didn't even fall asleep when I took it.

I was awake until 6:30 then I got real itchy all over for a good 20 minutes they finally fell asleep some time later.

I always get real itchy a few hours later if I don't fall asleep from it.

"why do you take so much?"

For real. I've never seen melatonin pills larger than 3mg, and even those were criticized as being too large...

4/6/2009 7:14:01 AM

I took one last night for the first time ever, and it really fucked my day (I think it was the reason.

I took it at 3:30 am on 4/10 because I couldn't sleep. Didn't feel sleep until 6 am, so I went to bed at 6 am and got up at 4 pm (still 4/10). Fine. But then around 6-7 pm (4/10) I started feeling really really sleepy, so I passed out with my laptop on the couch and just woke up at 3 am now (4/11). Now it is 3:45 am, and I have to be up at 8 am for work, so I don't think I will be sleeping now considering that I slept for 10 hours, stayed up for 2-3 hours, and then slept again for 8 hours

I had some very vivid and amazing dreams, though, so it is all good in the end. Except that my sleep cycle is messed up now

I got it from GNC a couple of days ago because of this thread!

P.S. I haven't had ANYTHING to EAT for 24 hours

Unisom is moar power.

4/10/2009 8:57:25 PM

It's thought that artificial lighting inhibits the productions of melatonin, which then leads to higher incidences of prostate cancer in urban areas. It is recommended that you use dim lights or red lights after sundown to prevent this. Even flicking on the bathroom light for a quick piss can be harmful.

Conversely, sitting in the sunshine as you eat your breakfast will similarly influence melatonin levels and help make your day GREAT!...or so it is believed.

Melatonin

+

Diphenhydramine

=

BEST IDEA EVER? OR WORST?

Plz to let me know in the next 30 minutes

4/19/2009 2:19:30 PM

well, they work in completely different ways, but if i were to take the two together, i'd only do 25mg max of benadryl, and 1mg of melatonin.

4/19/2009 2:48:21 PM

I think im addicted to melatonin, I take 3mg every night before bed and I dont even need the shit, I just love the dreams it makes me have

4/19/2009 3:39:58 PM

I had some amazing whacky ass dreamzzz last night. Now I don't know if it was due to Melatonin or if I would have had them anyway, but I have a feeling that I am going to be addicted to Melatonin soon

At the same time, I want to make sure it is safe to take regularly for a prolonged period. I don't want to wake up and have some cancer or organ failure 20 years down the road because of it.

Must do some research!

And BTW, this coming Wednesday or Thursday night I will try diphenhydramine + melatonin. Will post results here. That should give me the best dreams ever. Diphen always gives me awesome dreams and usually really terrifying vividreams. Like people trying to kill me a shit, and sometimes I kill them before they kill me.

Stay posted

4/20/2009 4:20:59 AM

I'm about to take some.

Still only have dreams when I wake up and go back to bed which always happens after 8 hours of sleep.

4/22/2009 3:43:19 AM

just popped 3 mg melatonin and 50 mg diphenhydramine

will report back tomorrow

(assuming i don't sleep perpetually)

4/22/2009 8:23:08 PM

I've been taking melatonin supplements recently. I've been taking them consistently for a few days to get my body to start getting tired again once the sun goes down, as I have been off my schedule for a while because of my neighbors (who sleep only from ~2pm-9pm, which keeps me up some nights).

It works great, I do 3-6mg. On nights where I really felt like it was gonna be rough, I combined a beer with the melatonin. Boy howdy that put me to sleep like cold medicine, lol.

4/22/2009 8:30:53 PM

Anywhere supplements are sold.

It's a fairly common one.

I wonder if I can make it back to my room without a corn dawg or granola bar...

4/23/2009 3:11:48 AM

ugh i just woke up, fell asleep at 6:30 pm

4/23/2009 3:26:20 AM

Don't think I ever fall asleep at that time. Either sometime in the late am or if I stay up all night I end up sleeping at like noon at the latest.

4/23/2009 3:30:49 AM

Meh. I have a vial of Valerian root extract that I take when I need to get sleepy.

4/23/2009 11:47:29 AM

Have any of you seen the commercial for pills containing a mix of melatonin, valerian, and L-tryptophan?
(I wonder if that's a good idea...)

4/23/2009 12:09:51 PM

lol...It's like the opposite of 5 Hour Energy. They should call it 5 Hour Coma.

3mg is plenty. I've been using the spray lately. The best is the liquid w/ the alcohol in it but the store never stocks it.
