Melatonin usually has no side effects at the correct dosage of 1mg. Was she taking the 10mg costco tablets?

It’s a hormone. Brains are all differently equipped with those so you shouldn’t expect regularity or predictability unless you have a consistent dosage schedule

Dude there have been numerous RCTs. People reported the same side effects for 1mg melatonin and placebo

If I take Melatonin in the usual dose I get St. Elmo’s Fire, no thanks.

A literal fungal infection?

What's "the usual dose" in mg and wtf is St. Elmo’s Fire?

What you might get in a supplement, 0.3 mg to 3 mg or so.

It is like the feeling late after an LSD trip maybe 10-12 hours or more after the "usual dose" which would be 80 to 320 mcg.

Sensorium is lit up like a light psychedelic experience, might be weary but complete unable to shut down. In my image of myself in my mind's eye I am glowing with corona discharge.

Wow that's unique! I wonder if there are any other people that respond like that
