i'm a little tipsy and i want to sleep so i meant to take one 10mg pill of melatonin, but for some reason took 4. is this an issue?

Go outside with a megaphone and 40mg more... nothing can go wrong

You're gonna fall asleep forever and the only thing that can wake you will be a kiss from a handsome prince. Sorry

You're totally fine. It's a completely natural medication and there's been studies where groups take 90mg every night for a year and had zero issues.
You'll probably sleep in though.

When scientists do preliminary studies on substances to try to find out levels of toxicity, they have developed a number called the LD 50. The LD 50 is the dose that will consistently kill half of the mice that they give the substance to. Well, Melatonin HAS NO LD 50 because no matter what dosage was given to mice, they just simply didn't die!

You just sleep for a long time (maybe) and become VERY tired. it sometimes gives me trippy dreams.

i'm prescribed 40mg a night and it just knocks you the forget out if you're unprepared. good sleep though.

It will give you really forgeted up dreams but whatever just enjoy it
