I want to try it for sleep. I have some gummies. ONLY melatonin, but they are 10 mg. Pills used to be 1-3mg. I assume 10mg would kick my arse.

Also worried about morning hangover. Like with Benadryl. Alarm goes off and I could sleep another 3 hours. That type of thing.

The first few mornings I was groggy after 10mgs. I am taking 15mgs at night now and wake up fairly easy.

Try your first one on a night you don’t need to wake up early.

I’m really glad to hear this because these melatonin gummies my wife buys are fricking delicious and I always felt like I’d be overdosing if I dared to take more than 2. Just ate 3 for the first time!

I take 5mg of melatonin every night to help me sleep. Never thought taking more would be that beneficial. Might be worth considering.

Started 25mg Sunday. Wow! Two incredible nights of sleep in a row. A bit groggy in the morning but not as bad as taking two benadryl.

So when is this stubborn belly fat going away?

Have you experienced any of the alleged positive effects from such a high dose?

Have you done bloodwork before and after and scans to see visceral fat before and after? If not how can you say either way?

I’m about to start trying this for the sleep effects more so than anything. Work has had me bent out for a while and my sleep problems are just continuing to compound.

What dose did y’all start at and how quickly did y’all ramp up?

ETA: also, timing. Taking this in the evening I assume? Or doses throughout the day?

start with 5 and go up 5-10mg a week or every other week.

5mg knocks me tf out. I used to take one 5mg every 4 months or so if I was feeling run down constantly. That was a good "reset" for me. The recent hurricanes threw my life completely chaotic.

I couldn't imagine 20mg, much less 60.

Any updates so far? I saw you were off it a bit recently...
