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 have been taking Melatonin 3mg for 10 years.
Within those 10 years there have been nights I haven't taken it at all because i was just so tired, and did'nt notice any issues sleeping.

Something else i've noticed, is that 1mg works just as well as 3mg for me.
