    any1 ever fuck with this, its not a drug i think its vitamin b6, used as a non habit forming sleeping aid?

    it wont get u high but it gives u trippy ass dreams if u take a lot, and i noticed it potentates the effects of benzos and opiates ( making you drowzy)

    Are they sleeping pills? Because I just read a study, not on hand that says sleeping pills are bad for your health and can shorten your life, if that matters at all I dunno, just thought I would add that in before saying where can I get some cause I want to get my dream on.

    I believe they sell them at health food stores that's where I got mine. They are great for sleeping I couldn't see them turning into a habit though.

    Yes. Melatonin works great for sleep and it does seem to intensify dreams significantly. However, its important to note that melatonin does not knock you out by any means. It just makes it a little easier to go to sleep... well, at least with moderate doses. I have never tried dosing insanely high.

    The pills I've seen are 3mg each, and in experience, this is much more than is needed to help induce some sleep. I can take just take a little bite out of that 3mg and still find it effective. Works great after a night of tripping for me... but only once the tripping is completely over with.

    I've used melatonin a lot over the years, and I've never had any problems from it turning into a habit. I have always been able to sleep fine without it, even after using it many nights in a row.

    I have noticed that my dreams are more intense and easy to recall from even like 1 or 2mg of melatonin. I've never gone higher than 3mg.

    Dreams on melatonin are so "real" that it almost seems like you can control what happens in your dreams, which is some trippy shit. They never made me sleepy either, but they definitely helped me to go to sleep when I wanted to go to sleep and I could sleep less hours but feel more rested, because it's some deep sleep.

    melatonin isn't a sleeping pill, its a naturally occuring neurotransmitter in your brain like serotonin, dopamine etc. It is responsible for sleep and keeping your "internal clock" on time and regulating sleep cycles.

    omg I took 3mg of melatonin and 3mg of xanax, drank like 3-4 beers, and blacked out or passed out, not sure which one happened first. I just woke up on my cousin's couch the next day.

    is melatonin really that good of a sleeping pill? cuz Im about to go to walmart and pick up a bottle.

    Not really..it just helps you get a deeper sleep and crazy dreams lol. It seems like i consciously make decisions in my dreams and i remember in the morning and sometimes its so real i didnt realize what i dreamed didnt actually happen until like midday.

    damn, melatonin rocks! why the fuck didnt I know about it before?!?

    I had a couple drinks at my friend's barbeque last night, very little, I didnt get drunk a lil buzz maybe, and when I got home, I took a 5mg melatonin. I slept from 2ish AM to like 1PM today, and had the wildest dreams. holy shit. I was gonna take a benadryl with it, thank god I didnt cuz I'd probably still be sleeping.

    damn melatonin is the shit for sleeping, Im gonna take one with some oxy to maximize the nod!

    It can also cause skin spots (liver spots) and skin discoloration, because it is the same chemical that your body has to regulate skin tone.
