Melatonin - what's is for? any contraindications?

Posted by tealady on May 7, 2005, at 18:52:46

Hi everyone,
I came across a couple of abstracts last night that indicated melatonin may help with oxidation/nitrate stuff I may have.
I've always fallen asleep really easily and on time..in fact I find it impossible to stay awake... Difficut enough in the day.
Just wondered if anyone has heard if it is contraindicaed for say hypothyroid or hahshimoto..or depression. I thi nk I saw that somewhere? but now I can't find it?
Also wondered what folk have taken it for and if they had success/failure etc.
I see a thread above where it didn't help with sleep a lot?
I was offered it 2 or 3 years ago by a doc(its script only here) but I thought I slept too much if anything.
The stuff I was reading indicated it may even hel- anxiety? Anyone used melatonin for that?
Also has it got anything to do with melanin?
Your experiences/opinions/knowledge much appreciated,
Jan
