Today my doctor advised me to start taking melatonin question is has anyone else been on it ? What were your side…

I was on it for a while. I didn't have any side effects, but it also didn't do much for me.

I would take unison before artificial melatonin. It can cause your body to create less natural melatonin. Unison works great and is non addicting

@nomli, yeah I was worried it wasn’t gonna do much but I quess it’s worth a try.

It worked really well for an ex's sister!

@ecahanes, yeah I’ve been taking that but I have some other issues due to complicated pregnancy. So my doctor advised me to stop taking it.

@nomli, oh okay yeah I’m gonna try and see how it goes tonight. Just hope I don’t feel anxious tom morning or groggy

I'll take Unisom or benadryl, but I've noticed that in the morning I feel exactly the same, whether I took anything or not.

@gigi.marquez1991, what kind of complications?? I take it all the time 😐

@ecahanes, I’ve just started not to feel good recently from taking it. And my issues aren’t from the medicine. It happened during my pregnancy and carried on postpartum.

@nomli, yeah I was told to stop taking the unisom. It was working out until recently.

@gigi.marquez1991, ohhh ok I'm sorry dear. Well I'm glad it's not from the medicine ...would about hydroxyzine??? That stuff is great too I would ask your doctor about that as well. It's like a higher dosage of benedryl and can help with anxiety and all that stuff

@ecahanes, yeah I’m gonna ask. My only issue is insomnia. It started like 4 months into pregnancy don’t know why. But after I had her I was already lacking sleep. But I had to be up with her so I didn’t think much of it. But once she would sleep and wake up maybe 2 times. I was still in my light sleep or not even sleeping until 4am then I had to be up for work at 6:30-7.

@gigi.marquez1991, hydroxyzine was a game changer for me! I would ask about that for sure but maybe melatonin would work in your situation
