Melatonin is a hormone, and is contraindicated for those with existing or predisposition to mental health conditions. In fact, that used to be a warning on the label in NY state.
It's not something to play with.
- chana_masala 5y agoIt's also unregulated and the actual dosage compared to the label can be wildly different, and can even be contaminated.
- bserge 5y agoIt is if you accept the risks. Everything should be something to "play with". Never worked for me in any dosage, anyway, hopefully it works for others. Doesn't really matter in Europe since it's prescription only like anything else half useful. Living like a bunch of idiot slaves over here.

- memsom 5y agoIt is prescription only in the UK. I believe you also end up with pretty low dosages too... I think 0.3 mg sounds familiar.
- detaro 5y agoIt's not universally prescription-only in Europe. (E.g. here in Germany it is if packaged as medicine, but lower doses are available as non-medical products) EDIT: looked it up, the latter category is also authorized through EU regulations, so likely EU-wide unless individual countries have specifically decided to ban them (which I think they still can in this case)
- scrollaway 5y agoMelatonin, at its normal dose, is over the counter in every single European country i can think of. Was this comment just a poor excuse to be xenophobic?
