Melatonin safe for a 16 year old?

Question

Im 16 and ive been having trouble sleeping so is it safe for me to take them, And i havent stopped by a doc. yet, and are there dangerous side effects

Answer 1

There is a specific warning on Melatonin that says not to use it if you are under 16, so you are right on the borderline of "safety". However, you really should check with your doctor first... it could be a medical condition that's causing the trouble sleeping, or it could be something as simple as exercising or ingesting caffeine/sugar too late at night. Your best and safest bet would be to consult a doctor first. Good luck!

Answer 2

Yes and no IT IS SAFE NO SIDE EFFECTS.

        Have a good day!

p.s. :try sleep MD (It`s all Herbs)

Answer 3

I think you should stop by your doctor first before medicating yourself.
