Ricardo Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Damn close to every time I've taken more than 6 mg melatonin before bed I've woken up with a cluster. Quote
bubblesup Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I had been taking 5 but found myself waking up about 4 each morning so i increased it to 10. Seems to be better now Quote

anthony g Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 sorry about that alleyoop i tried to quote pixie elf dont know how to quote Quote
Pixie-elf Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Nope, I don't take it anymore. When I read it might interfere with busting, I dropped it. Busting has me in low cycle so it's not exactly a problem, and on top of that, my bedtime meds knock me out for a good long while. If I wake up with a hit, it's because something has triggered me. (Someone startling me awake for instance.) Mystina ETA: Before though, when I used it, it worked like a charm. No waking up with night hits. Bedtime meds got increased last year in April. So yeah.

Bejeeber Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 All I know is that I've seen 9 to 18 mg often recommended by fellow CH'ers as the therapeutic dosage range. Quote
alleyoop Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 dont know how to quote Anthony, all you have to do to quote is highlight the phrase or word(s) you want to quote, and click on the button overhead that says, "Mark & Quote". Re: melatonin Everyone is different, but I have been taking 9mg nightly for about 10 yrs now, and I am unable to tell any difference in busting. Quote
kaboom Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I recently weened myself off of Ambien and now use between 15-20mg of melatonin. (usually 10mg of instant release + 10mg time released) Like Alleyoop, I haven't noticed any interference with busting. Quote
