Dear group,

I'm having great difficulty getting any sleep - I'm trying Melatonin

and had 2x3mg last night but with little success. Is there any harm in

using large doses of melatonin for long periods?

I am using Valerian, St JOhns and Gotu cola but nothing is really

helping

Any advice would be helpful. I am chelating with 12mg of ALA at the

moment and I think that I will have to stop the round as my system is

pretty bad. Or is it possible to drop the dose during the round?

I have a couple of Temazepam off the doc and think I wil have to use

that tonight

Yours faithfully

When I was really sick I had to take benzodiazapam

(Zanax) to get enough sleep. You really need your

sleep when you are sick with this and this was a big

help for me when I needed it.

I think in one of the files is an old post from andy or maybe it was

in AI. I belive he said he ws taking 20 mgs of melatonin

Starting melatonin was a great help for me (i was doing 10-20 mgs

per night before I had my amalgams removed)

Post amalgams my sleep worsened, dunno if it was the chelation

or just body releasing stores of mercury but my sleep became worse

again..it could have also been stress of adrenals whcih I have read

can effect sleep. I ended up taking I think 15-20 mgs of

hydrocortisone one night when I woke up and was really feeling sore

and achey all over..it knocked me right out (ie i drifted off to

sleep)

I am now taking 0.5 mgs clonazepan (klonoprin generic I believe)and

also up to 15 mgs melatonin and approx 3 grams of magnesium (twice

daily-Magna Calm by Longevity Science)

Personally I think my poor sleep is a result of many things going on

(mercury load, chelation, low adrenals, high blood sugar, low levels

of neurotransmitters particularly serotonin which is helped I believe

by 5htp)

Just a quick warning on melatonin. It can drive cortisol down,

especially in the quantities being talked about here. If you have weak

adrenals, taking melatonin may low cortisol symptoms worse at

nighttime. I have to balance a very thin line of talking enough

melatonin to sleep, and not too much that it will give me adrenal

problems.

My hormone doctor, Thierry Hertoghe, believes that 1-2mg, taken

sublingually, is best. Of course, we all find what works best for us,

but I wanted to point out the melatonin-cortisol link here.

Best
