Have any of you taken this medication

metatonin it is for sleep it is supposed to be all natural and does it help you???? Please let me know I need somthing to help me sleep.... Stacy T

STacy, Yes, I have taken it & yes it does help, but, I haven't taken it since surgury. It should help. It is really good if you work weird hours like late swing or graveyard to help you get your sleep patterns into some kind of order. I don't think it will hurt you. take it about 30 to 45 min before you want to sleep. Its better than sleeping pills as they work on the brain cells & wont make you groggy. You need to take them for awhile to maybe see a big difference. But I'd try them. They are also little pills, so they should not hurt you for any reason. Let me know if they work.

It is actually melatonin. It is a vitamin that helps you sleep. I have never personally taken it, but my mother takes it. I can't see any reason why you couldn't take it, although I am not a doctor. My mother says it does help you sleep. Nick

Hi Stacy, I used to take this pretty regularly - had forgotten all about it! It really worked for me, but this was a few years pre-surgery. Just to be sure, I would run this by your PCP AND your WLS surgeon (sometimes the PCP's don't really know all that much about the special care required of post-WLS patients). As for this sleep-aid, I do recall it worked pretty well with no ill side effects. Check it out first, though, ok? Good luck - I'm having a terrible time with sleep as well. Best, Reenie
