It would have to be dosed at dangerous levels and for a long period of time to effect libido negatively. Taken once in a while is no problem.
It is also thought to prove mild AI effects.

Ai effects? Is 3mg a night ok? Doc said i should try melatonin

Does dosing it regularly shut down your natural production of it?

As far as I know, there are no long term use studies that have been conducted, however there are a number of studies showing it's short term safety (3 months or less).

No problem. Just make sure if you are starting it (for the first time), go with the smallest dose you can find (usually 100mcg tablets, I believe) and work your way up. There is nothing worse than starting with a dose higher than you need and having a melatonin hangover the next day. It's also a good idea to try out the dosages on days that you don't need to get up in the morning, so that if you oversleep it's not a big deal.

So should i do 1mg or 3mg? 3mg wrked before but tired during day

If you were tired during after you woke up, you dosed it too high. With the correct dosing, you shouldn't feel any negative effects the next morning. I'd recommend trying 1mg and seeing how it works. With melatonin, it's best to use the lowest necessary dose (IMO) to achieve your desired effects without any negative sides.

Well with 1mg i wake up like 2 hrs later. And with 3ng i sleep longer

The appropriate dosing for each individual can vary, but try 2mg. You may need to get 100mcg tablets to find your exact dosing "sweet spot", because it may be 2.2mg or 1.8mg (for example) the only way to find out is to play with it.

There have been studied showing that melatonin increases time in the REM portion of the sleep cycle. By doing so, you may find yourself to feel fully rested with less than the typical 8 hours of sleep. The appropriate dose should help you maintain a sleeping state for a long enough period of time to feel rested.

That's most likely a dose related side effect.

[AmazingAJ]

So take like 1 mg? Im a night eater. Night eaters have low melatonin levels.

[AmazingAJ]

I guess il do 2 tonight

Erase killed your libido? Really because erase + DAA made my libido skyrocket to new heights. Horny 24/7 unfortunately. webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-940-MELATONIN.aspx?activeIngredien tId=940&activeIngredientName=M ELATONIN According to this, melatonin has no side effects for sex drive. Maybe its all in your head
