Overdose?

[backflip95]

Im 15 and for the past 2 years I have been using melatonin (occasionaly) to help me get to sleep, or if i wake up panicy, to get me back to sleep.


This weekend has been a nightmare, both friday night and sat night i woke up after abou 1-2 hours of sleep, having a panic attack, upto the point where I was very close to being sick. I feel panicky (slightly) during the day, then in the evening, i want to have a tablet to get me off to sleep, but if I wake u again later that nght, then I can't have one to get back to sleep, can I?

Please help, im dreading tonight :unsure:

What tablet you referring to? Melatonin? I personally would avoid them and stick to something like Kalms or Nytol. I'm not sure whether you can OD on melatonin but I wouldn't try it.

I would go and see your doctor about your sleep and anxiety problems rather than trying to self-medicate like this.

Hope you feel better soon.

Have a word with your doctor Backflip. If you wake up though and you've already taken a tablet don't take another. You're better off getting out of bed for a while and doing something to occupy yourself and then try to go back to sleep when you've calmed down.

I know it's really annoying but this happens to a lot of us here and it does pass.
