I just wanted your thoughts and experiences with melatonin. Has anyone been given the OK to take it? Or told not to? I figured since it was a natural hormone that it would be safe. Still waiting to hear back from my doctor. Just trying to find ways to help me sleep better. I'm 21 weeks. Thank you in advance.
Have any of you been told that 1mg of Melatonin is safe to take during pregnancy as a sleep aid?
I keep hearing that its safe as long as its under 3mg.
if you do not want to fake the pill there is a drink called NeroSleep. It also has melatonin in it I drink it every once in awhile not the whole bottle because it is very big. I drink about 2-3 gulps.
I sometimes drink Bob Marley mellow mood drinks and there is 1.5mg of melatonin in them...
my neuro had me try melatonin after the indomethacin gave me a stomach ulcer... it didn't work unfortuneatly :-( let me know if you had any luck with it.
