Alteril

Has anyone had any luck with this for sleep? My Dr. suggested it but it has 4mg of melatonin which is rather high. Also has some other bad ingredients like poly glycol something. He gave me a box but I'm not too keen on using it. Wondered if anyone here has used it with any success.

I've use L theanine the last couple nites with my melatonin and got close to 6 hrs of sleep last nite. I also added some iodine for my thyroid so maybe it is all 3 that are helping.

I have had bad luck with Melatonin, so I stayed away from Alteril.  I think Alteril has two other ingredients in it as well, if I'm not mistaken.

How much melatonin and theanine do you take?

I normally take 2.5 sublingual melatonin. I've taken it off and on for several years. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I think the theanine is helping but now am wondering if it is causing eye irritation. I had to stop it for a couple days. I'm not sure the dose, just take one pill on suntheanine. It did seem to make me drowsy which is great for me.
