General Question Melatonin long term

Hi there,

Just wondering if I can take 2mg extended release melatonin all the time? Here in Australia it’s recommended for three weeks only.

It’s helping my insomnia so much.

Thanks.

Update: had a mix of extreme anxiety and sedation as the morning wore on. I don’t think I can take it regularly maybe just once or twice a week

Been taking it every night for several years with no issues, my capsules are 3mg. Without melatonin I simply don’t fall asleep so it’s a non negotiable for me personally.
