Mostly people take anywhere from 2mg, to 5mg, to a max of 10mg for sleep. Melatonin is a hormone that we make that helps us sleep.
I know of a Cancer Treatment Center that’s added very high doses of melatonin to help with the success of their Treatments for a variety of Cancers. Often up to 100mg to 200mg daily.
I’d found multiple references to taking 100mg of melatonin shortly before PET/CTs and CTs to help flush the radiation from the body. I believe Dr Brandy had recommended the same (it’s been quite some time ago), though Dr Brandy also provided me a Link to the Video on high doses melatonin.
I think it was my own idea/experience to try the 60mg melatonin for my neuropathy. I was getting very significant cramps in my feet and legs, late at night as I was trying to get to sleep. I had the melatonin at my nightstand, took the 60mg and in less than a minute all the muscles in my legs and feet relaxed and I comfortably fell asleep.
A few nights later, same thing and same results so I’ve continued ever since. This is probably not too long after I had discontinued all of the opiates that I had used for the 2-1/2 years prior (changing prescriptions along the way). I’ve been off all for almost 18 months and I only take regular Tylenol (500mg) 3 or 4 times daily (typically just 3).
Lately, I’ve been taking melatonin less often - just 3 or 4 times weekly but if needed, I’m comfortable with it nightly.
I do make sure to take last thing at night
@A MyMyelomaTeam Member interesting isn’t that for sleep? Do you take just at night? Very interested. Have a good day!

As a separate thing Very oddly- I take 60mg melatonin quick dissolve Natrol (10 mg per). These provide almost instant relief to my stinging and burning hands and feet - And I also notice significant relaxation of my muscles, relieving all sorts of cramping. I’ve been taking melatonin for well over a year. It’s been 17 months since I discontinued all opiates (Oxycodone, Xzampta, Tylenol w/Codeine, Morphine - phased all of them out)
One of the members here told me to try Aspircream and I got the roll on type and I do think it helps a lot. Don’t wait go get some. Wishing you the best! 👍
Question: What pain management options are available for severe back pain while waiting for myeloma diagnosis?
While waiting for test results, it's crucial to speak with a doctor before taking any pain medications, especially over-the-counter NSAIDs like aspirin or ibuprofen, as these may interfere with future treatments.
