My husband got head-aches from the 3mg Melatonin that is swallowed the normal way. We tried cutting them in half, then they didn't work as well. Went back to that higher dosage and he still got head-aches and had some depression in the mornings. Found the sublingual and have never gone back and you can take a fraction of the normal amount.
I also tried the Valerian, which worked okay for me with absolutely no side-effects. The price is more than Melatonin and it just didn't work as fast as that sublingual and the sleep wasn't as great or deep. I am not joking about the difference in my sleep, this is quite serious. I have never in my life slept like I do now, I mean it. I have lived 20 some years :-) without proper and normal sleep and rest. I used to be suicidal everynight and every morning. Now, I welcome the morning and the night I no longer live in fear of Insomnia or my delirious thoughts and emotions taking over my body. Why? Because I am asleep!
dove~ rambling as usual :-)
> It's good to hear about that sublingual method, Dove. Before I started with the prescription meds, I tried both Valerian and Melatonin. Both started fabulously for me in terms of relaxing me and helping get some deep sleep. But after a few weeks, they'd give me headaches. Maybe it's that dosage difference between the pills you swallow and the sublingual stuff. Hmmmmmmmmm.
