Thread: Valerian Root, Vitamin B6, Melatonin, etc.

There are loads of threads about this topic that talk about the suggested dosage for Melatonin and B-6.
Vitamin B supplements won't do as well as just vitamin B-6 though. The supplement usually has only a small dosage of B-6 compared to just B-6 capsules. B-6 is the vitamin that increases your dream vividness, the other vitamin B's really don't do much from what I remember.
As far as Valerian Root goes, I'm not sure. I've tried it, and when I took it I simply followed the directions on the bottle, to take 1 to 3 capsules one hour (or 30 minutes, can't remember) before bed. It came out to 530mg to 1590mg. It helped me relax, much like Melatonin does. I never tried mixing Melatonin and Valerian Root though, so I don't know what effect that would give.

Well, my bottle has 75 mg of each vitamin B, including 6. I'm just wondering what other drugs there are, so I don't have to go archiving.

dont have B12, you'll be hyper, because it increases the speed of ur energy burning proccess

Well I have tablets which in each tablet has about 225mg of B6.

I love them, makes my dreams really vivid but if I wake up in the night to WILD, I am ALWAYS too awake. Way more than usual

I dabble with all the ones you mention, Ridley - the only additional one I take on occasion is Galantamine - (look it up and read up about it before considering).

melatonin works for me.
in my pot smoking days i would smoke a bowl and take 3 tylenol PMs, or now i'll have a few beers or whiskeys and pop a couple of PMs. but i'm not advocating the use of drugs or alcohol.
my dreams are intensely vivid, to the point where i am surprised when i wake up that i am waking up, it felt that real. of course, i'm so zonked out i can only enjoy the ride, i can't interact lucidly. for me the best thing i can do to achieve lucid dreams is to get so tired that i can't keep my eyes open and just fall into it.

Okay, I'm not that desperate to have a vivid dream. I'm not touching that alzhiemers medicine. By the way, it's Riley.

That's quite dangerous. It will damage your nerve endings.

its ok. Your kidneys filter it out anyway. All these things that tell you you can have X amount of this or that are lying because you can only have a certain amount before your body says it's enough and pisses out the rest

I think 20mg of B6 is enough to increase dream vividness... anything approaching the 200mg is just asking for trouble (especially if its taken consistently). Everything else... I don't know, but I'd rather not go into using a bunch of drugs just to get myself to dream more vividly... hell, the whole B6 thing is merely an experiment for me. Oh well... just give it a try, and see if it works... make sure not to over-do it though.
