This dude must be colorblind. I've never seen pink Melatonin!

personally I've never had 'spider nightmares' from taking Benadryl, either...

And I didn't need Benadryl to have spider nightmares

I never needed sleep to have spiders.

I don't even need to sleep to live in a nightmare

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.

"MORE MG MORE BETTER!"

people in general don't really research drugs or medications very carefully. Myself, I'd ascribe a lot of the blame to manufacturers, who should know better.

I take 3 mg and melatonin actually induces nightmare !

[–] spicysoup 4 points 1 year ago

lol I actually have some pink colored quick dissolve melatonin right now. That said, they look nothing like Benadryl and this tweet is obviously a lie for lolz
