Is it ok to take some melatonin? I cant sleep!!! Any recommendations?

Insomnia sucks. I take zzzquil made by nyquil people and its liquid

Ambien.

Thank you ladies! =) I hate not being able to sleep!

My son (10yrs old) takes Melatonin. I have taken it a couple of times to help me sleep, and apparently it has the opposite affect on me. It takes me forever to get to sleep and then I only sleep for 2-3 hours and then I am wide awake :/ it is so frustrating when you are already battling sleep. Hopefully it works better for you

Before my RNY surgery I would take Melatonin and fall asleep right away and sleep the whole night thru. Now AFTER surgery I take a total fo 10mg and it does not effect me at all I also have a hard time falling to sleep I am going to switch to Skull Cap, the only thing with that is it tastes really nasty !!! At least the Melatonin is in pill form but unfortunately it does nothing for me anymore
