No! Overdosing on sleeping pills can kill you. Melatonin isn't very strong, so I'm sure the overdose level is near 100mg, but still you should never go over the recommended dosage. |

I tried taking melatonin because I've heard that helps one become lucid. |

Well Jesus Christ,
I'm not scared to die,
I'm a little bit scared of what comes after.
Do I get the gold chariot,
Do I float through the ceiling?
yeah. I dunno. I heard you cant really overdose on melatonin. The kind I bought is all natural ingredients. But yeah I prolly wont take more. I've doing a lot of meditation with binaural beats hoping that'll soon work. |

I forgot where I heard this, but it said that if you are laying on your stomach or your back, it helps to feel the kind of vibrations that come with WILDing. |

The bottle I have actually says to take no more than one three mcg tablet (I think it;s 3 micrograms) per night. THen again, the five foot tall girl who suggested melatonin says she has to take at least 3 for it to affect her any, and I usually take between 3 and six of the tablets to decrease insomnia. |

Buy some cherries they have melatonin in them and they make you sleep, and i tried this myself and it worked. I hardly ever had a nap early in the afternoon but after eating cherries, 10 or 15 miinutes later i fell right to sleep and i dreamed. In fact for the first time without pills, two days ago i had a full 8 hours sleep after eating cherries that night and i just finished eating cherries just now and its making me sleepy. |

I've been taking melatonin off and on since last summer to help me sleep, and I usually don't need more than 3 mg. I'm pretty sure melatonin doesn't have any ill effects. IIRC, you can't really become dependant on it, and it's very safe. It's a hormone your body makes everyday, and the stuff you don't use you just filter out and it comes out the next day in your urine. |
|
Just remember the natural rate of production is 0.3mg or so and taking excessive quantities can effectively shut down the melatonin receptors in the brain. More is not always better. You could be heavily damaging your brain's ability to utilize melatonin in the short-term. |

my friend took a bunch of melatonin cause he was trying to induce synesthesia or something. it didn't work, he just fell asleep in the back of the car and said he had vivid nightmares. |
|
I took 3 melatonin once and it made me throw up, not saying it was this for sure, but I was really shaky too. |

Even 3mgs can be too much for some people. When I use it as a sleep aid, I try to take 1mg or less. You can get it as low as .333mcg, which I think should be enough, especially if you find that you wake up feeling a little "off" taking 3mgs or more. |

It's really hard to od on melotonin so I wouldn't worry about it. When I was younger I used to mess around with pills a little. One time I took like 12 3mg pills. Not much really happened. I just got tired. |

157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.
