Can anyone share their experience or recommend other effective types?

The only thing I can offer is that, with regard to melatonin, when I tried it... if I was going to have difficulty getting to sleep it didn't help. But it made me groggy the whole next day.

Are you looking for something natural or prescribed? My sleep problems are pretty bad - I love my Ambien.

My pdoc has me taking 10 mg melatonin on top of my sleep meds for a sleep study, which I consented to. I just answer the same list of sleep-related questions whenever I see him. I think it helps keep me to sleep but does not get me to sleep. The Trazodone & Seroquel get me to sleep.
Before I got pregnant, I tapered off meds, used melatonin some for sleep, but I think valerian root worked better for me (it stinks to high heaven though). In the end, I combined them both (not recommended, just the only way I could sleep). Ambien gave me panic attacks, and all the other classic prescription sleep meds from my PCP didn't do a thing. Benadryl never worked either.

I occasionally use fast dissolving melatonin. I use the 3 milligram kind. It doesn’t make me groggy. The only problem is that I have had trouble finding it. I found it several states away at a Walmart in Pennsylvania, but I’m sure you can order it online. My brother in law also had some extended release melatonin which worked pretty good. I have had no luck finding that in stores. He does not remember where he got it from. Maybe you would have more luck then me. I tried Zzquil one time and I had a bad night terror so I never took it again.

I take .5 mg of risperdal, 5 mg of melatonin to sleep. I am also taking primadone for essential tremor. They all make me sleep. Melatonin leaves me groggy.
