hi all,
I've been taking melatonin (3 mg) for 1.9 years. i started long before i got into LD for other reasons. to get to sleep, basically.

i read this on a bioentopics.com flyer about their melatonin cream. is this true and if so would it make sense to take a short holiday from melatonin, possibly?
BioEntopic Natural Melatonin Creme / Cream 2 oz.

"Research shows extremely high amounts of melatonin are safe however, only very small amounts are needed. When it comes to melatonin less is more. Start with a small amount and increase as needed. Too much melatonin has shown to create vivid dreams that may be disruptive to sleep. As a rule, melatonin should be used once a day about 1/2 hour before normal sleep time but every other day or maybe twice a week may work just as well. The amount of melatonin and how often varies with each person.

Studies have also shown if a certain dosage of melatonin has been effective for a period of time then begins to lose its effectiveness, it may be because the body has become tolerant to the melatonin. When this happens simply discontinue the melatonin all together instead of increasing the amount. Then after a week or two, go back to using the same amount of melatonin."

ps - i have learned, rightly or wrongly, that applying topical creams can be more powerful than ingestion. so i am mainly questioning other parts of this text.

pss if they are worried that too much melatonin can produce vivid dreams (oh dear) couldn't that be the kind of problem some people we know would actually like to be having?

many thanks,
bg***
