I started taking melatonin a few days ago and I’ve had more nightmares. I read that this may be because melatonin increases the time you spend in the dream stage of sleep, therefore increasing your chances of having a bad dream.
I want to continue with melatonin cause it seems like I’m sleeping more normal amounts on it instead of 12 hours, but on the other hand, those nightmares ain’t fun. 
I read somewhere that nightmares is not a uncommon when taking melatonin. I don’t get them myself. Hopefully it’s a passing thing.
I see. I didn’t have any to night, so that’s good. Btw, do you know if taking melatonin 1mg will make the body’s natural production go down? I’m a bit worried about this.
I’ve been on melatonin a couple of weeks now.
The first night I slept like a log. And then for about a week after that it was constant dreams all night. Not all good dreams either.
It’s settled down now. Maybe give it more time.
Will do. I didn’t have nightmare this night so that’s maybe a good sign. I asked my doctor if I can stay on it indefinitely, waiting for an answer. I hope it’s yes.
edit: Oops, I repeated myself. 
Maybe…probably, but I think it’s trivial to quit it compared with many other things. 1mg is not very much. Some people take 10mg…then I would be more sceptical. Also you can taper melatonin if you buy it in liquid form. For example the one I take now, 6 drops equal 1mg, so three drops would be 0.5mg etc. I take 4 drops now, which is rougly 0.66mg. Seems to be enough for me.
No nightmares for 2 days now, I think maybe it’s passing.
I had a nightmare this night. Maybe they are turn based 
I had worse nightmares with melatonin too.
Lol, now it’s your turn! My doctor said it was ok to stand on melatonin as long as I want btw, I guess it’s like you said, it’s not a heavy substance. I think I feel more rested. I asked chatGPT and it said zyprexa and other APs can lower body’s natural production, and I trust chatGPT, it seems to be right most of the time.
Never had nightmares while while taking melatonin.
The only time I had nightmares was when I left my nicotine patch on over night.
I have a melatonin hangover today.
