personally I’ve never had ‘spider nightmares’ from taking Benadryl, either…

Oddly enough, too much melatonin gives me intense nightmares. 3mg or less for me or it’s a guaranteed bad time.

I’ve heard of that! From what I understand, melatonin actually works better in smaller doses, like even less than 1 mg. But for some reason it started being sold in higher and higher dosages.

I’m not saying this to be elitist or an asshole, or trying to be “better than”/superior or whatever, but for the most part, people really just aren’t that smart and don’t care to improve that situation. Think of the dumbest person that you know; statistically, half of all people are dumber than that.

You will if you take like 800mg. You won’t even need to go to sleep to have the nightmares, through the magic of deliriant psychosis

That’s a huge amount considering the typical pills are 25-50mg. So, okay, if I took an entire package…
