I took Melatonin gummies for kids and they were too expensive but I seemed ok. Then I switched to a melatonin pill but took one and was out in left field the next morning. I read the bottle more closely and if the user was on prednisone, use of melatonin is contraindicated. So I no longer use it. I think at my age of 73 and taking ativan 2-3 times a day, the melatonin is a fall risk and I don't need to spend the day in a fog getting over the effects of the melatonin. Sometimes I think it is too easily recommended without due thought = like the contraindication with steroid medication.
