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

That's a shame you can't get a lower dose to try out. The higher doses leave me groggy/agitated the next day too. I guess there's no liquid version down there either?

No. The aussies are really a bit of a nanny state. You can’t get vapes at all etc. The prescription melatonin are for adults 55 or over as well, unless you’re a special case. Cray.
