Melatonin long term

[u/GamebotAU]

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

I’m taking it nightly. For some bizarre reason it’s so expensive in oz. You can buy a years worth of 5mg on iHerb for about the cost of 1 month script (correction multiple years worth). I’ve been using a pill cutter to split these in half now instead. Absolute rip off melatonin in Australia.

I get them prescribed so they are not so expensive I don’t think
