To whom it may concern:
First off, thanks Renee for letting us know about this forum over at MC. I just signed up tonight (can't sleep so will post what "works" for me in better times as a sleep aid haha.) And here I am. Middle of the night. I had major surgery 2 weeks ago and am still unable to take any of my vitamins or herbal supplements for another few days so my sleeplessness is on hold lol.
What works under normal routine/s in my life is a simple formula I buy over the counter & can be found at CVS, Walgreens (haven't come across it at Walmart yet,) and my local supermarket.
It's called "MidNite PM." You may have tried this one too Renee. It is the only Melatonin formula that works for me. There's 2-3 varieties of MidNite PM. The ONLY formula that works for me are the chewable tablets w/Bromelain, 1.5 mg Melatonin, lemon balm/chamomile/lavender extracts. I sleep like a kitten when using this formula. Heck, it is now 4:09 a.m. so I may take one yet tonight.
Plain Melatonin either keeps me wide awake if not enough to knocked out with anywhere from 3-5 mg tablets. Those things would make me sleep 24/7 if I tried using those.
The 2.5 and under just left me awake. So the proprietary blend of Midnite PM I can use must be just a special blend; all non-narcotic and supposedly non-addictive. With that, and this being my very first post, I will attempt to go back to sleep! Bon appetit!
