      By any change, you are not talking about Melatonin are you? If so, please do a search on it.

      It has been discussed exhaustively here. You might also look in the tutorials under "The Pharmacy"
      you must be the change you wish to see in the world...

      Can't find it in any of my texts and never heard of it before.

      Does look like a typo of melatonin though.

      Melatonin: Melatonin regulates the physiological changes related by light, the time of day, etc. in co-relation with the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Melatonin pills will immediately inhibit monoamine oxidizers (MAO) which inhibit the production of serotonin which produces melatonin from the pineal gland which is then secreted into the blood stream. Soo, by taking melatonin pills, you kind of skip the process of secretion from the pineal gland and the whole physiological change from serotonin (since melatonin is excreted from serotonin).

      The effects can sometimes take a while depending on the individuals serotonin levels within the digestive tract (there are strong levels of serotonin within the digestive tract to begin with too... alcoholics will be easy to adjust). Since during sleep the levels of melatonin increase dramatically during the waking stage with the arousal of the ascending reticular activation system (A/RAS), by taking melatonin pills, you keep a regular dosage of melatonin throughout sleep without arousal of the ARAS (and waking you up). The amount of acetylcholine is also dramatically reduced during sleep in order to regulate norepinephrine and other neurotransmitters involved with waking state.

      Melatonin can be bought throughout America for, usually, less than $20. It is recommended to take only 2-4mg. (See Proper Intake Times below)

      Melatonin cannot be purchased in Canada... legally.

      Generalization: Melatonin is a sleeping pill.

      Some people have said that it sometimes help when trying to LD but I haven't tried it myself so I couldn't say anything from personal experience.

      I'm not wanting to clog up this post for one little word, so after reading O'nus's next post: Oh.

      It's not just a pill, it's initially a neurotransmitter within the CNS. You already have melatonin within your system, the pills just help further production of it.
