Advice & Tips
this a very easy and effective treatment. my treating professional advises that your sleep patterns need to be thorougjly analysed and assessed before a professional can select the right regimen. trust her. i was fixed in, like, 4 weeks.
Only rarely can I fall asleep on my own without melatonin; I have to be absolutely exhausted. It's a lifesaver for dealing with Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder (diagnosed last summer) while keeping a 8-5 office job.

Advice & Tips
I can't take this medication with the Neurontin, Savella, Trazadone and Paxil. It made me have very bad "tics" and twitching of my whole body. Once I stopped this medication, it cleared up and I no longer had the twitching or tics.

Advice & Tips
I take the Melatonin, 1-2 tabs for help with sleep. I haven't had a problem with it so far. :0)
My MS symptoms/inflammaiton became gradually stronger since starting Melatonin. By the third week I had to stop. After five days of stopping, I am starting to feel back to normal again.
