Melatonin.

I’m used to taking one 5mg of melatonin but I was wondering if it were safe to take two 5 mg tablets in one night. Just for the beginning of the year to get back on normal sleeping habits

Answer #1

I’m not aware of any danger from melatonin but high doses can cause headaches, nausea, nightmares, and daytime grogginess.

Answer #2

5mg is a rather large dose of melatonin; many times what our bodies produce.

If 5mg isn’t working for you 10mg probably won’t either. If you have trouble sleeping you should talk to your doctor.

Answer #3

I didn’t ask if it would work I asked if it would be safe! Would it be an overdose or no?

Answer #4

I would not recommend double dosing on melatonin or anything as such unless it is ‘okayed’ by your doctor first.
