The New York Times (9/6, Blum) reports, “As increasing numbers of people turn to melatonin, and more report taking high doses of the supplement, those who try to give up the supplement might find the process harder than they anticipated.” For instance, on social media platforms, people are “swapping stories about craving the supplement, or being unable to sleep without it,” and stressing “over how to stop taking melatonin after years of nightly use.” The Times adds, “Taking the supplement for years likely poses minimal risk for the average person, experts said, but there isn’t enough evidence to say for sure.”
