Re: Any concerns about using melatonin?

[Guest guest]

I've read mixed reviews about using melatonin. We do use it - less than 1 mg

on occasional evenings to help our child sleep, but I worry about using it,

since it is a hormone, and I don't know the long-term effects of messing

around with my child's seratonin levels. Also, I've heard from autistic

adults that melatonin gives them nightmares. Sometimes when my daughter goes

to sleep with melaton, she wakes up in the middle of the night. Anyone read

any studies about giving hormones to young children??

anyone have any headaches with the use of melatonin? I decided to try it on

myself before giving it to my son and the 3 times I did (different times over

1 week) It gave me excruciating headaches. I'm wondering if I'm an exception,

I know people react differently to supps.

Thanks,

We have not had that problem and we have used it since April. Beverly

<< <anyone have any headaches with the use of melatonin?> >>

When we tried it several years ago, my husband and I both got horrible

headaches the morning after taking melatonin. However, after Beverly's info,

I started myself on it a few days ago and am having no trouble at all this

time. Whether it was due to possibly using a different brand with different

fillers, being less toxic now or who knows what, I'm not sure. Have you

checked the brand for fillers to see if that could be contributing to your

headaches? Do your metals tests show high in other metals along with

mercury? We were both poisoned with arsenic spraying in our neighborhood and

high in several other metals as well at the time.

<anyone have any headaches with the use of melatonin?>

Could it be a coincidence that you got an excrutiating headache the same

time you took melatonin?

I ask because my first excrutiating headache I attributed to several

possible things only to learn later that chronic mercury poisoning can cause

excrutiating headaches.

We have used melatonin for almost a year. There have been NO undesireable

side affects.

Do you have the melatonin website by Jack Panskkeep?
