Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 i started taking the melatonin along with everything else i take for my RA since ive always been an insomniac and i really need the extra rest..i noticed a VERY slight difference, something both me and my husband, who sleeps probably even less than i do have noticed works for us is cedarwood oil,id gotten it for my hair and noticed right away how it helped me get right to sleep. I started rubbing it on my pillow, my husband who never seems to REALLY get good deep sleep and wakes up all the time even felt the effects.Now i rub some on our pillows before bed and we drift right off to sleep and have some pretty interesting dreams too. He probably wouldve thought i was nuts had he not experienced it himself, ended up taking my bottle with him on the road and he's getting really good sleep.. Loren...

I use one by Premier labs in liquid form and take just a few drops every night and sleep like a baby. ( I do not sell any products, you can only get this brand from a healthcare professional, so I am not promoting anything for my profit) My understanding about Melatonin is that it is cumulative and so you won't need to take that much for very long, unless of course there is some other underlying condition. To MY knowledge you cannot take too much, but you may want to call the manufaturer, most have some kind of help line. I hope this information is useful.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hi, I have been taking Melatonin every night since January or February with the advise of my primary care physician. She says that you can safely take 10mg, however I take 6mg. Last year she tried to get me to take it, when I was not having any luck sleeping, I did and did not get the correct results. So I stopped it, after going to several doctors and discovering additional health problems " connective tissue disorder, read about it and found that it helps boost the immune system so started taking it again. Learned if I take it and go to bed then it helps, I don't think it helps the way I sleep but do feel more rested when I do take it. Good luck, Jeanna Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Melatonin is great. Read some books about it. Valerian also works for a lot of people. I do not like the "zoned out" feeling it gives me.... but a lot of people like it. Chamomile tea before going to sleep (or while awake, reading a book, hoping to go to sleep) is also helpful.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Thanks for the tips. I do want to caution people with lupus about melatonin. It stimulates the immune system, so it can make lupus worse (it happened to me). Best, Amelia On Behalf Of Rochanah WeissingerWednesday, March 22, 2006 2:10 PM Subject: melatonin Melatonin is great.

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 What about calcium for insomnia? Try 1200 mgs a day with 600mgs magnesium. But stay away from calcium carbonate, its chalk.
