Top Medical Research Studies

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.
