I have had insomnia for years. Sometimes I take Ambien and other times an over the counter sleep aid. A friend told me she takes Melatonin, so today I bought a bottle at Rite Aid. They are liquid gel caps....do you think they will dissolve ok and not wind up in my bag?

I have been suffering extreme insomnia for over a year now and recently started taking melatonin as well, i bought 3 mg easy dissolve tablets that dissolve under my tongue. They take a little bit to start working but i have been on them for about 3 weeks now and am starting to notice gradual improvements. The liquid gel caps should be fine as well, i have taken other medications in gel cap form and they have dissolved fine

Interesting..... I remember deciding not to take melatonin when I had active Crohn's because I read that it can make auto immune disorders worse. I just looked it up, and it seems that the evidence is mixed....

Just something you might want to be aware of.
