A member asked:

Am i able to just cut out melatonin if i have been taking 6 mg a night for 23 day? noticed emotional changes that i thought were from no smoking.

Yes, just stop: There is no rebound effect fom stopping melatonin. If you have difficulty sleeping, see a sleep specialist to take an overnight sleep study
