Have you used melatonic for menopause related insomnia?

I mean melatonin, of course.

I'd say, "take less".  There may be a smaller amount that will help you sleep, but not effect you in a negative way.

And I'm one of those, through experience with my Dad, that will through out the warning to stay away from OTC sleeping medication.  Studies have shown that regular use will increase the incidence of Alzheimer's disease by 3 fold.  My dad had Alzheimer's, and his doctor told me NOT to give him any of those products.  The one sleeping medication that is ok is TRAZADONE.  Which is a prescription.  But it doesn't carry the risk for ALZ.  It worked like a charm for my dad.   

Everyone is different. I take Trazodone, it's a mild antidepressant/sleep aid and like gailannie said, it's only available by prescription. It has helped me, it's not one of those strong antidepressants where it makes you feel worse before you feel better. But again, everyone is different. I've had people say it(Trazodone)made them feel lile a zombie the next day, or they took it and slept 12 hours straight. I think it's about getting the right dosage.

Well, I used to take a small dab of trazodone once in like 2 months back when I was not in peri. Unfortunately, 3  years ago I triad taking it again during a severe period of insomnia and it only gave me hallucinations, no sleep. I think that it is connected to problems with vertigo and inner ear. the hallucinations were swirls. I get vertigo and dizziness as a part of the peri-allergies package. I remember when i used to take it before it would give me problems with focusing my eyes and some grogginess, but I drank coffee and ate sweets, I had no taste for anything else, my appetite would get humongous the next day. Unfortunately now I am even afraid to take it out of fear of even more vertigo than I have now. I cant take sleeping pills either, I took them in the past and went throufgh bad withdrawal.
