...ming.  <restlessness> I'm cold.  My zombie bite itches.  I wanna hear people talk about hot sex stuff, but lately we've been talking about that so much it seems like a tired subject...
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.

We're all fucked, it helps to remember that.

I've been trying to get things arranged to sleep more at night. Three weeks on melatonin and I have gone from two to three hours at a time to three or four hours without waking. Even with all the other changes/side effects, or whatever, it seems like a successful experiment.

As mentioned, even a doctor needs a special license to prescribe melatonin in this piece-of-shit country. I have valium, though, but I'd prefer a "natural" substance. Sick society that prescribes benzos but not a body-like substance like melatonin.  >:(

SWEDEN! I have 140 5 mg tablets and have a prescription on 300 more tablets, though I can only get it every second month from the pharmacy.

I buy it online, and it gets shipped to me from the US.  Costs about £15 for 180 3mg capsules.

How much is a single dose?

A few words about Melatonin:

Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant; more importantly, it is one of the few antioxidants that can penetrate into the cell's mitochondria. The mitochondria is the energy-producing part of a cell that contains its own DNA. The fact that nearly all of the antioxidants in nutritional supplements do not enter the mitochondria is believed to be the main reason that ordinary antioxidants do not noticably extend lifespan and only minimally slow the aging process. Melatonin does appear to protect the mitochondria from oxidation damage.

Some animal studies have shown that melatonin reverses stress related suppression of the immune system. A number of animal studies have shown that melatonin reduces the incidence of some types of cancer, especially estrogen-mediated cancers such as breast cancer. Experiments to confirm these effects in humans have not yet been completed. Some researchers suspect, however, that the melatonin suppression due to artificial lighting during this century may be a contributor to the rise in breast cancer rates since sufficiently bright artificial light will suppress melatonin production. This does not mean that one should avoid artificial lighting. It is just as important to have several waking hours with low melatonin levels as it is to have several hours in the period just before and during sleep with high melatonin levels.

In laboratory mice, oral melatonin in one experiment increased life span to 931 days compared to a life span of 755 days for mice on an identical regimen without supplemental melatonin.

Melatonin has been safely used in humans for years, principally to reset biological clocks. Many people have found melatonin to be very useful in jet lag and other situations where the day/night cycle of the human body must be quickly reset. It has been shown to be useful in the insomnia associated with aging. It has other potential uses as a natural sleeping pill and (in conjunction with other therapies) in the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder and some forms of depression.

I'm supposed to take 5-10 mg, though I sometimes take 20 mg.

No significant adverse effects of synthetic melatonin supplements have been reported. Animal experiments, however, indicated a somewhat shortened life span if regular supplementation is begun when the animals are too young. This suggests it may be unwise for persons under about age 35 to use melatonin every night. There seems to be no problem with occasional use, though, by adults of any age.
