I took melatonin to sleep last night and I had chest pains all night long
And I was awake all night long.........pdoc said I could try two tablets but she said that's the maximum dose and if tjat stops working There's nothing else to try but I never tried Lunesta or Ambien CR......So I know there's more pills out there to try......Anyone know if there's any melatonin over the coiunter that's stronger than the 3 mg pills I have??

Thanks a bunch,

Princess

Melatonin did NOT work for me. But I have been sleeping good with Lunesta. Ask your doc if that's safe for u to take?

If your doc says two pills is the max for you I wouldn't change to another type of melatonin pill. She is going by what you are taking now.

dear, you certainly are having a rough go of it lately... Did she ever give you your ativan? That could help you sleep if she did. If not those other sleep meds you mentioned are options if your doc approves them.

I certainly hope you find something soon. We want a Happy, rested and feeling well Princess.......

    Food Allergy?

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
