Re: Long Term Use of melatonin

[Guest guest]

I may be wrong, but I think my Mom has been using it for decades. I

remember her using that when I was still living at home, and I see it in

her medicine cabinet during visits. She's out of town but when she's

back I'll ask her if she still takes it.

I do know she sometimes has difficulty sleeping, she also has restless

leg syndrome and takes medication for that too.

there hadn't been any tests done on how long-term use of melatonin affects the

brain and how it works in helping us sleep. So this particular doctor/author

did not recommend long-term use. This was a few years back. So I wondered if

anyone has used it for years and is suffering no side effects from long-term

use?
