Rhonda,

I have experienced disturbing, too-vivid dreams from too much

melatonin, but I've never taken a melatonin with B-6 in it, so I thought

it was simply the melatonin itself.

3 mg to 2 mg melatonin will cause too many, too vivid dreams. .5 mg

doesn't so that's waht I take, and yes, I take it every night, I can't

fall asleep reliably without it. I use a sublingual tablet.

I also take my antihistamine just before bedtime. My PA wanted me to

move that back to 4 hours before bedtime, and try to not take it at all,

but that didn't work. I get too itchy without it, and the sedating

effect helps also.

I spoke with my doctor about taking melatonin for sleep. She mentioned to me

not to get the melatonin with B6 as it causes some people to have vivid dreams.

I don't know if anyone has experienced that but thought I would pass it on.

How much Melatonin did you take? Do you take it every night?

I just don't know what to do anymore. I have lost a lot of trust in doctors,

even though the one I know have is very knowledgeable. Thanks for the help. I

will definitely look into that.

Re: Melatonin

I know you didn't ask me, but I'd thought I would give my two cents

about melatonin. I was taking taking 3mg a night, it really worked

well at first. But it stopped working and I couldn't sleep well again.

I have read from several posters (not sure where anymore) that a much

smaller dose is called for. I now take .5mg a night, it has worked

well for months and I sleep well. iherb.com has these smaller doses,

they have 300mcg and 500mcg (micrograms) that would be better, most

melatonin products are far too strong.

I too have many dreams using melatonin...just silly nonsense dreams,

nothing disturbing though. But then I have never suffered from

nightmares ever. I first few nights I used melatonin it seemed like I

was having hundreds of dreams...it was wild! I don't seem to have

hundreds nightly, but I dream every night. This is from someone that

could never remember my dreams, I used to think I didn't dream.
