I used to take melatonin, sometimes 10 milligrams, with no problem.

This week and especially last night I’ve had some kind of reaction to the 5 milligram pills.

Last night I took one around 12. I had really bad sleep paralysis. My mind was totally there. It was terrifying. I was trying to scream. I was telling myself to just go back to sleep, and that I wasn’t in any danger. I also was having vivid dreams and I was hallucinating people in my room. I think I was sleep walking too. Because when I got up to use the bathroom (I was still really out of it) the bathroom door was shut. Since I was so out of it I was worried someone was in there. Like an intruder. When I got to my room I was so freaked out and I was freaking out that I wasn’t really awake. I couldn’t tell if I was awake or asleep.

I don’t know why the melatonin has all of a sudden been causing these symptoms. But I guess I should not take anymore. Or else not 5 milligrams.

Does anyone know anything about this? I doubt it was an allergic reaction. But it was really scary.
