Not strong enough for me » Sarah T.

In reply to Melatonin experiences, posted by Sarah T. on March 31, 2005, at 1:59:36

Hey, Sarah:

Sorry to keep following you around on these boards and banging the negativity drum. The psychiatrist I am now seeing recommended I take melatonin to help with sleep when he prescribed me Lexapro last year. I've tried it maybe 10 or 15 times at doses of .5mg to 2mg. It made me mildly more sleep, but did not help me get to sleep. Obviously, it had no impact on my "racing thoughts," so that is part of it. Also, I think whatever impact my high night cortisol has on my body outweighs anything the melatonin does. I've also read that melatonin is not effective for people with anxiety disorders only those who have true sleep disorders. You probably know more about this than me. Overall, my experience is that melatonin is too weak for whatever I've got going on with my brain chemistry. Oh, the brand I took was the sublingual Source Naturals. I think they were 1mg tablets.

Good luck,
Chris
