I've been taking Melatonin @500mcg everyday for the past year, and I mean every night before bed without exception.
It all started after a long plane trip, I found I slept incredibly better when on it.
However what I noticed while on it is that my daytime energy and libido have fallen, although I sleep better and feel more "refreshed".
The conclusion is I quit taking the supplement 1 week ago, but I could instantly feel my sleep was not as refeshing although my daytime energy and libido are better.
I read everywhere that Melatonin supplementation didn't cause shutdown or tolerance no matter for how long you take it.
Is that true? Or could it be that I shut down my pineal gland, or worse atrophied it to the point it will never produce Melatonin again?
