Melatonin either works or not for most people. It’s not going to be like taking a benzo or sleeping Med and it knock you out.

Lots of people try it for couple days and give up.. melatonin is one that often needs a bit of time to build up in your system.

I’ve never heard of any side effects from it. Some people find they need to take it earlier in the evening as they note takes them a bit longer to get moving the next day.

I take it for a few months and it stops helping so I quit for a couple months, I’m due to get back on it.
