hello all.....i haven't been here to the site in a a while ..but i had to come and tell you all that i have finally found relief in melatonin....you have to take the time release for it to be effective....it only comes in 3mg. caplets here in florida...i break them into 3 pieces and take one every 6 hours...i have been chronic for 7 and a half years and have tried everything i've ever seen posted on this message board and pretty much everything my doctor ever suggested....well, for the 5 weeks i've been on this i have yet to be awakened in the night with a rager in my head....i have gotten a few small ones during the day ,..maybe 7 in the past 5 weeks... but never more than a 5 on the kip scale...i actually got a 2 week break without a single headache...not even shadows....i had never gone even 3 days without a headache in the past 7 years....they seem to be very infrequent and very brief...20-30 mins. tops....this i can handle....out of all the $ i've spent a $10.00 bottle literally has saved my life for now...a friend of mine found a link from this site to a study they did in california...of the 20 people who participated...all had relief of some degree...i hope someone will try this and have as much success as i have....remember it has to be the timed release melatonin....good luck...and i hope everyone has pain-free days ahead....
