Used to take the Natrol 5mg slow release, now that I can compare these 2, I love this more. It doesn't make me feel too edgy, it's quite relaxing actually. I still have to halve the dose as the full dose makes me groggy the next day. Where the Natrol gave me very vivid, but not unpleasant dreams, these don't make me dream as vividly. It does take a bit longer to get me to sleep, but once asleep, your asleep. Highly recommend, once I finish this bottle, I'd get the 2mg tr next time, as a lower dose works better for me.

I've been buying these for well over a year now as Subscribe and Save. I work 12 hour overnights as a nurse. My sleep schedule normally gets messed up. I would have no problem falling asleep but would wake up only a few hours later which is not good when you have work again that night. We buy these on Amazon due to the great price and the fact that they are extended release which helps keep me asleep longer. When I take 1 or 2 of them, I am able to sleep about 7-8 hours which is great. I take this both when I sleep during the day and sleep during the night. It helps me sleep no matter when and I am able to adjust my sleep schedule often. I have recommended them to many.

The only type dr. Recommended, gentle time release is very important. Too large a dose of regular melatonin can cause nightmares this brand is consistently reliable. I like to support US made

I've been using Melatonin for about 20 years and this is absolutely the worst. In fact, I've never written a review on Melatonin because they're all good...up until now. I couldn't believe it when I woke up in the morning with a white glob in my mouth! It didn't dissolve one bit! It has the taste and consistency of drywall the next morning. And it makes me groggy the next day, which may be because of the timed release. All around horrible product. I'm baffled how they could screw up Melatonin so badly? They sure didn't test it on themselves before selling this garbage on Amazon. I stupidly tried it a second night---THAT mistake is on me!

Hard to review when there are so many variables. This won't work for you if Your body still produces normal levels of melatonin, making this superflous. Or you have other issues (stress, apnea, environmental issues) way beyond the ability of melatonin to help. I can't compare with any other melatonin since this is the only one I have used. I can only say it has worked well for me. I find myself getting to sleep quicker and sleeping more soundly.

These are great. This is a great price too. Talk to your doctor. He had me start at 3mg for at least three nights, then move to 6mg, and so on. Until you have three nights with no memory of rolling over, adjusting pillows, etc. and with super deep, detailed dreams that are indicative of great REM sleep. Once I found my correct dosage, I moved to a compounding pharmacy, which is much cheaper per night and only requires one pill.
