my dealings with melatonin and its effect on my health     26-Jul-07 05:07 pm    
I recently have been taking melatonin 1-3 mg at night to help me sleep. And for me it created more harm than good. It basically made my mental illness 10 times worse than it should have been. It created in me mood changes, decreased blood flow, fatigue, irritability, vivid dreams, and stagnant breathing. Not to mention the possible hormonal effects that it may have had on me. It did not create any noticeable effects in my thyroid test. But it definitley messed with me hormonally.
Is there anything out there that counterracts the negative effects of melatonin? I mean the most I found was that melatonin decreases the negative effects from inderal. So I figured the reverse would also be true in that inderal could help me. As it also is a drug that helps tremors/anxiety, and people with PTSD. I also have dyspnea due to chest restriction due to scoliosis.
