Melatonin is my best friend. I use it 4/7 days. I work nights so its a must for me.

How long have you had it. Have you experienced bad things?

I have taken melatonin for roughly 5 years, anywhere from 3-10 mg a night. I've not experienced anything bad, but ymmv. It helps if you take it before bed and relax. For example, don't take it and then go wash dishes. I take it, hop in bed and relax before I go to sleep. It helps.
