I am aware. One can infer Hes using kpin for sleep and probably anxiety . Trazodone much more forgiving and can target both of those symptoms. Trazodone does not cause withdrawal symptoms either upon cessation. Speaking from vast experience with both and many other compounds I'd opt for the trazodone if i had to pick. Less hepatoxic . However Given the option I'd use mk677 and MJ and melatonin and start there.
I looked at the first couple studies and see they apply to rats and other animals. But from my reading over the years other animals don't use melatonin the same as humans. Mink farmers were using it last i checked to make sure all the mink have nice thick healthy coats when they are ready for killing. 20 years ago my vet had me give it to my dog to help deal with his alopecia. And i can say from my own experience from when i stated using it 30 years ago, and mostly non-stop for the last 20 years that it didn't do a thing for my bald head. Humans seem to use melatonin different from other animals last i checked. It is worth looking into but i have my doubts from just animal studies.
I would increase it slowly as tolerated. if you get to a point where you are groggy or still sleepy the next day, then stop increasing it, and/or back it off some until tolerated. Like others mentioned, lots of great research lately on it, but you still have to use what makes you feel good and functional. If we are talking exclusively for sleep, use what is needed at the lowest dose needed, that way if you ever need to increase it, you still have some leftover in the bag to pull out and use. For other health purposes, look at the human data first, then make a determination on the best route to go about it...certain purposes may or may not need higher doses. Some conditions and benefits are just too early to determine without more research, but some looks promising, which I believe is probably DC's intentions. Not gonna speak for him though.
Could you elaborate? Thanks.
I take 10mg of Melatonin in hopes that it is helping with sleep very night, with Benadryl, I still don't sleep well. Just started using my CPAP again after years of refusing to, it's helping but not solving my sleep issues completely. I know a large part of my sleep issues are from living at 10,650ft, work stress and financial stress.
Didn't know that Benadryl was viewed as a dirty med and interferes with REM sleep? I just know it does help knock me out, but I can wake up groggy at times, not fully functional. It takes me a long while to get motivated and moving in the morning, on average an hour an half to two hours.
I just saw that too. In all fairness his posts aren't the only ones that people misrepresent to the extremes.
Benadryl is a very dirty med. It is an acetylcholine inhibitor, so overuse can make you fat, slow, and dumb.
Sure, I just mean that for visceral fat loss and staving off the progression of Alzheimer's, Melatonin is not ideally suited. It's the sleep hormone. As a hormone, it affects myriad systems and is another example of a dirty med to effect visceral fat loss or attenuate Alzheimer's progression. It has paradoxical effects at high doses, often stimulating/activating rather than inducing sleep. It's most effective at around 500mcg for sleep. At these very high doses, it starts to spillover into other systems & functions. And then we have the actual data on Melatonin: it's very weak, animal data in disease models and such. It's an OTC sleep aid, not an effective prophylactic against anything other than having trouble dozing off.
trazadone makes me want want to kill ppl.
My apologies if my question was unclear. Yes, I've seen animal clinical literature for melatonin.
If you miss your sleep window with melatonin at regular doses - it often causes insomnia. This has always been an issue for me. The only product with Melatonin in it that worked wonders for me was Mike Arnold's Somatazine which was paired with Mk-677 and Magnesium Glycinate along with a few other items.
Ah, yes. RhGH & clen for visceral fat loss; ARBs/ACE inhibitors (only when indicated, not as a prophylactic; lifestyle is the appropriate prophylactic here) for hypertension; and whatever front-line medications to stave off Alzheimer's progression are in popular use medically for those with familial history of Alzheimer's.
