A member asked:
Is melatonin considered a sleep aid in the sense of it being addicting and like a sleeping pill? thanks dr.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Melanotonin: does not have the addiction potential of other agents. Discontinuation of its use does not produce the withdrawal symptoms one might experience with some of the other agents.
