Melatonin

[Rhyan420]

I think Imma take 50mg of Melatonin and see what happens Some supplemental melatonin users report an increase in vivid dreaming. Extremely high doses of melatonin (50 mg) dramatically increased REM sleep time and dream activity Seems like it should be ok, haven't found anything about overdosing or anything. Has anyone done this before?

I would start with the normally-suggested dosage. Actually most melatonin tabs have way more than is needed to help get to sleep. .3 to .5 mg is all you really need. I dont know the side effects from taking so much, but it would probably block REM for a longer time. I'd start with smaller doses and work your way up from there. Where did you find this info about taking 50 mg?

Where did you find this info about taking 50 mg? I used to take Melatonin a lot for a few months straight a few months back. So I have experimented with it a bit (1-8 tablets or so), but never as much as 50mg, considering it is like 17 tablets lol. But I got the information from Wikipedia, most of the info there is pretty legit. And yeah it does block it a bit, but I am gunna try and time it so I get the rebound effect in my mid to late sleep still, thinkin maybe 1-3 hours before I sleep, not sure yet. That's what I am thinkin will happen, is that I get a mega rebound lol.
