Melatonin to sleep

[minnie78 17]

Hi!!! I've been having trouble to sleep since I got my sleeve feb 16th. I want to take melatonin 10 mg so I can get back on schedule on my sleeping. Has anyone else taken this before? I don't know if we can or not?

I have taken it on occassion and was fine, but as with most things, consult your surgeon or PCP.

I have taken it many times. It helped me overcome the effects of a 3rd shift job and jet lag.

It will give you vivid dreams, some folks can't dig that, I just go along with the ride. There is sublingual melatonin that will not hurt tummy.

I've been taking melatonin as needed for a few years. Ever since my lap band I've had insomnia. Early on I think it was from the weight loss and now more from the discomfort that comes with the complications, but I usually take it a couple times a week and I use the sublingual. Dissolves quickly and mine is strawberry flavored (I found it at Walmart).

My revision isn't until May, but I asked about whether I could use it after surgery still and was told that after the first two weeks it would be perfectly fine, but I would definitely check with your surgeon to be safe!! They all have different plans and you should stick with your docs!

I'll try to just go along with the ride as well. Wow sublingual melatonin didn't see any there but I'd live that better that the pill. Where did u buy yours?

I know for a fact that you can get the sublingual tabs at Walmart. Comes in a purple bottle if I remember correctly.

They do! The brand is Natrol and they are called "fast dissolve" on the pretty purple bottle I have found the fast dissolve in 3 and 10mg tabs at my local Walmart!
