messes with my head. I was told it'd give me more energy if i take it at night, but instead it makes me groggy and irritable all the next day

 

How many of them are you taking at a time?

 

i started with 1, then i went to 1/2, still messed me up.

 

Hmm...I never hd that effect and I always took one and sometimes two (big guy).

I always woke up refreshed with no "hangover" at all. Maybe your body doesn't process it correctly. Are you getting at least 7 hours sleep when you take it?

 

yeah, about 7-8

 

i didnt take it last night, i feel the best i have in a while.

 

Maybe instead of melatonin you need to adjust your eating habits.

Eating habits can really screw with what kind of sleep you are getting and sometimes will cause you not to hit REM sleep.

 

well, i wouldnt say that my sleep is messed up.... i just feel tired all the time. They thought I had Chronic fatigue at first, now my doc thinks i'm depressed and should take prozac. I sorta took melatonin as a last resort after some suggestions from friends/family.
