Started taking 2 to 5 mlg.of melatonin for the past 6 to 8 months. Started having excruciating pain in every bone in my body. Stopped only last night. Helped with the morning headaches and sleep but the bone pain is so intense. Read the same thing by many people! Won't ever take it again.

I was told by my doctor to try melatonin as a sleep aid option. At first it was great but recently i have been getting extremely vivid and abnormal nightmares only wheni take the pill. I have stopped because i always wake up from them uneasy and harder to get asleep. Im sure this varies from person to person.
