Who qualifies for Melatonin

Melatonin is a hormone that helps regulate your sleep-wake cycle. While lower doses are often available over-the-counter, higher doses (typically 3mg, 5mg, or 10mg) require a prescription in Austria and many other EU countries. The doctor looks for specific criteria to ensure Melatonin is appropriate for you. This includes assessing your sleep difficulties, medical history, and any other medications you are currently taking. It's often prescribed for insomnia, jet lag, or shift work disorder, but an individual assessment is always necessary.

What Melatonin actually does (and doesn't do)

Melatonin works by signaling to your brain that it's time to sleep. It helps to reduce the time it takes to fall asleep and can improve overall sleep quality, especially if your natural sleep rhythm is disrupted. It's a natural hormone, not a sedative. It doesn't force you to sleep but helps your body prepare for it. While many find it effective, it's not a magic bullet and results can vary. It's most effective when combined with good sleep hygiene practices.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated, Melatonin can have side effects. Common ones include drowsiness, headache, dizziness, and nausea. These are usually mild and temporary. More rarely, you might experience vivid dreams or mild anxiety. It's important to stop taking Melatonin and consult a doctor if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or if your sleep problems worsen. Always inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, as Melatonin can interact with certain drugs, such as blood thinners or antidepressants.
