@LowExperience2368 @DolphinLundgrin I ended up using Restavit too often and decided I needed to try something else. I now have a script for Endep (amitriptyline) which is safe to take long term if needed, it really helps me sleep.

Thanks @kudra@aus.social and @LowExperience2368@aussie.zone for the info, might have to pick this conversation back up with my doctor. Cheers!

I notice that I tend to have bad dreams more often when I take melatonin, but Iâm not sure whether thatâs an actual side effect or just a case of getting better quality sleep, and for longer. What dose did you take?

Melatonin is 5mg, doctor then suggested I crush it, which surprised my GP

Ah right. I was prescribed 2mg capsules, but permitted to take 2 of them if 1 didnât work. These days though, Iâve gone down to 1mg tablets, and I take another if need be. I find that if I take over 4mg I get very groggy, and sometimes struggle to sleep the more I have. I took 7mg once (bad night), and the next day I could barely function.
That said, I know a dude who takes 15mg, which just seems truly excessive. But itâs mostly unregulated in the US, so they just gladly sell 20 or 30mg tablets. more than 30mg seems to be considered dangerous, or at least risky, although it doesnât seem to have been well tested.
