Accepted Answer

You can, but: It's not uncommon for melatonin to result in headache -- I have heard this from others.  Also, it's best to take vitamins separately from other medications so that absorption is better for all.  Are you checking your blood pressure regularly?  High blood pressure may be a cause for headache in some people. You could also try a lower dose of melatonin and see if this helps.

is it safe to take melatonin every night?

Accepted Answer

It is preferrable: Not to use long term- but I have many patients who do use it long term with success. Are you using excellent sleep hygiene? If not- try that first. 1. Keep regular bed ; wakening time (includes weekends). Get up same time daily. 
2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine: warm bath or shower, aromatherapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 
3. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool room w comfortable.

Melatonin use: Typically melatonin is used to assist in sleep. When you take it in relation to the work out is important. IF it starts working quickly you will feel tired during the workout. Its always better to take it after the workout.

Question 10

i sent a  question about is it safe to take melatonin  if your hypothtoid . i got two totally different answers. , now i'm confused still don't know?

Accepted Answer

Here's an article: That may clear up the confusion ( or not) : http://www.Endocrine-abstracts.Org/ea/0026/ea0026p394.Htm. My understanding is that people who have hypothyroidism from hashimoto's, an auto-immune disorder,  should not take melatonin because it may increase inflamnation in the body.  Please ask your endocrinologist if it is safe for you to take in your particular case. That's always safest.
