Idk. My body just crapped out completly when it came to melatonin. It doesn't do a thing one way or the other.

But long-term it probably has. Your body makes melatonin so when you take so much it tells your body to stop making it and then that causes rebound insomnia. That's why you are only supposed to take it at night; if you take it when it is light out you train your body to sleep at unnatural times. They have people who do shift work or are flying to another time zone use it very carefully to help prevent the body getting screwed up by missing out on normal amounts of daylight.

Does your pdoc know how much you take?
