melatonin dosages, was Re: Re: (OT) Info on Benzodiazepines- Symptom Lists-(long)

iherb

Source Naturals makes a 1 mg sublingual melatonin, and I'm using that,

cutting the tabs in half. I just also saw a liquid there that has 1 mg

per ml. That would be easy to dose in .25 to .5 mg.

You can get 200 mcg (120 tabs) for $2.08

At Purtain's Pride with free shipping over $50.00

or $1.00 shipping under $50.00.

With this link you also receive 5.00 off you order.

You can also increase your own melatonin. You must sleep in a totally

dark room. No light can touch any part of your skin. This means

no alarm clock, phone the windows must be totally covered.

If you feel you must have an alarm clock or phone put them in a

drawer and or cover with a lose box.

If you sleep in the day time as I still do then you also need to

seal the door with insulation in roll form so light does not leak

from the frame. This actually made a great difference in

my being able to sleep.

Hi Sol,

where do you find .3-.5 mg melatonin. Most interested as I can't

tolerate even 1 mg.

thanks,

Dahlia

Dahlia,

It never has built up over time for me, I've been using it for years.

But I sometimes recently get feeling sleepy at bedtime without it, so I

may be about to be able to start skipping it once in a while.

Dahlia,

The moon counts.

At the time implemented this was not sleeping more than 15 minutes at a time

Was so tired could not even take care of my self however would lay

there for hours before finally drifting off and then wake up in 12 to 15

minutes to do it again.

Am also taking valerian, used to take melatonin years ago however

last year with all the medical problems it made my eyes dryer than

they already were which was bad enough saw the doctor weekly

trying to correct the problem as well as adding drops every hour.

Kept reading and finally read about no light source at all touching

the skin darkened everything, and started to sleep a little longer.

Iodine helped the dry eyes within 3 weeks which helped me to sleep

also. Before long was getting 3 to 5 hours sleep.

With HC, Armour and tons of vitamins, herbs along with amino acids

now sleep 6 hour one day and 9 to ten the next seems to alternate.

This is awesome as have never slept long am now trying to train

my self to sleep 10 to 12 hours to get well.

Oh am on high doses of B vitamins. Inostiol, Dr. Atkin's states it relaxes

nervous tension and encourages sounder sleep. He also used it to treat

severe cases of depression, anxiety, and obsessive-complusive disorder.

He states that inositol is a safe, natural vita-nutrient that virtually

eliminates the need for a whole category of potentially harmful drugs;

tranquilizers and

sleeping pills.

Hi ,

I live in the country, so darkness isn't really an issue for me.

There's no other light in my bedroom. Although I guess there's always

moon light and such. Hmmm. And thank you for the info on Puritan's

Pride. I'll check into it.

How did you feel the darkness improved your sleep? How could you

tell?

,

I really appreciate your taking the time to spell all this out in

detail. I bought my sleep mask today at cvs and tonight I am going

to try it. Thank you so much for the 'push' to do this.

Which aminos do you like for sleep, and when do you take them?

How much inositol are you taking and in what form?

Dahlia

p.s. btw, what form and how much iodine are you taking? any idea how

this helped your dry eye?
