"The time released melatonin gave me nightmares ,interrupted sleep and was less useful than the normal melatonin available over the counter. Woke in the middle of the night with a sore throat and massive headache. I was on the low dose and couldn't tolerate it !"

"I am on prescription circadian 2mg prolonged release melatonin and have not had any side effects. I have been unable to sleep due to damage to my own melatonin production due to 19 years of being on high dose of antidepressants. I can't produce enough melatonin. I thought my body would sleep eventually, but no. Longest was three days of being awake, losing cognitive function and having to turn to sleeping tablets, which only worked short term. This medication has saved me. I will be on this long term (with dr monitoring) After reading other reviews I feel this medication only seems to be helpful with sleep phase disorders when your body is not producing melatonin at the correct time, or for people like me who don't produce effective levels of melatonin to create sleep. In people with normal levels who have insomnia for other reasons it seems ineffective. It would be like people who don't have diabetes taking insulin to feel better. "
