I have had usual weight gain, fatigue and insomnia, that I found was caused by Adrenal Fatigue. If you want to see if that may also be the cause of your insomnia and weight gain try adrenalfatigue.org
I've taken melatonin for years and have noticed no weight gain that I would attribute to it. I have had weight gain due to aging and inactivity associated with fibromyalgia but when I diet, it works - I've recently lost 15 pounds.
I take 6 mg of Melatonin didn't know I could take that much, I haven't gained an oz.
