That's simply false. You can learn some things from experience. This isn't one of them.
Since you missed my edit, I'll repeat the information:
Quote:The available pharmacologic doses of fast-release melatonin (eg, 3 mg) and low-dose slow-release (or controlled) preparations (eg, 0.5 mg) tend to increase hormone levels over a 24-hour period, thus altering the circadian pattern of
circulating melatonin. Abnormally high melatonin levels at night and in the day after consumption of a pharmacologic dose of the hormone may disrupt the delicate mechanism of the circadian system and dissociate mutually
dependent circadian body rhythms, which is described in a recent study. Thus, if administered in high doses or at inappropriate times, melatonin may induce a circadian rhythm disorder rather than cure one.
