    Americans are often overmedicated, and these kind of drugs usually make you reliant on them to sleep, so that may be the reason.

    Again, big pharma doing big pharma things

      What medications do people normally take that inhibit sleep?

        Melatonin production stops once you start taking it artificially. American melatonin also can have fucked up stuff like melatonin tablets 1000% being over the shown amount it should contain.

          Got a source for that. The majority of studies suggest that melatonin supplementation does not suppress endogenous production even with long-term use.

            Uhh then I was an idiot to put off stopping it just because I wouldnt be able to sleep for a few days after stopping use?

              I don’t know man… not sure exactly what you’re saying. Always wise to be cautious about taking any kind of drug or supplement, especially regularly. It doesn’t seem like melatonin is one to be worried about but if you’re saying you experienced problems with it after regular use, sure seems reasonable to lay off.

              There is lots of variation in how individuals respond to specific substances so maybe it affects some people, including yourself, differently.
