We assessed how melatonin affects dizziness in patients dealing with sleep disturbances tied to psychiatric conditions. In a study with 175 participants, we found that melatonin was slightly less effective than trazodone and doxepin in improving overall sleep quality. However, it stood out for having a low incidence of adverse effects. Specifically, the rates of dizziness associated with melatonin use were measured, showing a relatively low occurrence.
While it did not provide the most substantial improvement in sleep quality, melatonin showed promise in enhancing tolerability among users. Only 10% of participants reported dizziness, which indicates that melatonin might be a safer option for those worried about side effects from more potent medications. By choosing melatonin, patients can potentially find a balance between managing sleep disturbances while minimizing unwanted symptoms like dizziness.
Overall, we observed that for individuals focused on avoiding adverse effects, melatonin serves as a viable alternative within this treatment landscape. Its effectiveness in curbing dizziness contributes to discussions on how best to treat sleep disorders in psychiatric patients without compromising their comfort.

This has proven effective. Since taking magnesium and Sleep Deep, my sleep quality has significantly improved. I can now attain deep sleep and feel much better during the day, with no dizziness or discomfort, which is a relief.

Optimal dosage: 3mg

I take this daily without fail and have for about 10 months. I find the size convenient. Initially, I tried 5mg but experienced dizziness, thus preferring 3mg. I recommend starting with a lower amount for first-time users. Before bed, I feel naturally sleepy and alert throughout the day.

Caused headaches and dizziness
1 people found this helpful
I experienced adverse effects after taking this for about a week. Each tablet led to light dizziness and headaches about 30 minutes post-consumption. Mornings were challenging too, as I woke up with a headache. Perhaps it wasn’t suited to me, or the dosage was incorrect.
