Addicted to Melatonin?!
Question: Addicted to Melatonin!?
I have been taking Melatonin (and sometimes combine it with a benadryl) every night to sleep for several years!. I'm worried not only about dependance, but if taking the artifical hormone melatonin will impact my brain's ability to produce it on its own!. Is this something I should be concerned about!? If so, can I reverse the effects!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
If you have trouble sleeping your body probably has trouble naturally creating it!. I've been taking Melatonin for months and haven't had a problem yet!. I've fallen asleep without taking it before, too!. I hadn't slept in 21 hours, but still!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
i think it might be addictive i take it almost every night and when i dont i cant get to sleep and all the sudden ive been wanting 2 pills instead of 1!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I never heard of melatonin being addictive, I'm not sure about the bendryl!. If you want you can try drinking chamomile tea before bed that helps me, and I've suffered with insomnia for years!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
