Melatonin overdose = 9-10 mg. per NP Re: Re: Aggression

[Guest guest]

Thanks for this post Jeanette. It was actually my daughter's developmental

totally benign no matter how high you go - so I will call him on this and see

what he says. Did the nurse mention any studies/literature re chemo effect of

high dose melatonin?
