I slept most of the day away! If you DO take this stuff...don't satrt at 3mg lik me (Hubby and I fought at the store..they had a 1mg or a 3mg tablet. I thought 1mg wqould be good to start and experiment with...but he felt I needed the strongest thing out there...oh my!) I would start at 1mg. Make sure it is a night you can sleep for at least 9 hours if needed. And if you Do get groggy the next day...that's normal...just not so much so that you sleep the day away. It's kind of like some of the AD's...until you get used to em they make you groggy.
It does say on the bottle to consult with a physician if you have a depressive disorder. And I do not think it is for long term use. It is supposed to give you enough melatonin to REGULATE sleep patterns. Just some things to think about...
