melatonin enhances opiates and reverses tolerance?

@Gracie5  I totally agree about magnesium too.   I started taking it years ago for some irregular heartbeats, then continued taking it to counteract one of the.. unmentionable negative side effects of opiates,  and I've been touting its benefits for years.   It totally got rid of my skipped heartbeats and restless legs.  Every opiate user should add magnesium (I use citrate) to thier regimen.   I can't go without it!  (see what I did there)      :)

 
Nice pun, @Roxyanne! I originally started using because I was deficient. But I use for the same reason! Going a step further, I like to add a splash of pure aloe juice to my cuppa Calm- Calm already has the gaba, L Theanine, and melatonin, and Mag Citrate. I told my doctor about the aloe and he started recommending to his patients on Op8s. I know because he forgot I was the one who told him and recommended to me!

I’ve seen CBD Epsom salts online. It’s super pricey so I haven’t tried, but I know people who swear it helps with full body pain.

Apologies for being way off topic with my posts here, but all of these things have improved my sleep and digestive issues immensely. If they help with tolerance, even better!

Something my doctor told me about Melatonin, which I have used for many years, is that you should take it about 30 minutes before you plan to fall asleep, and make sure you are resting and really ready to sleep for it to be effective. It’s also safe for children, according to my son’s doctor (son is 15, so not a young child).

Another natural sleep aid is L Tryptophan. Tryptophan is part of the reason you feel so tired after eating Thanksgiving dinner. 

I’ve always struggled with falling asleep, so I use these in combination with Magnesium. Magnesium is something in the body that can be depleted by stress, and it helps relax the body. It’s also in Epsom salts, so a nice bath with Epsom salts helps with relaxation and muscle aches.

For magnesium “Natural Calm” was the only supplement that did anything. It’s a difficult mineral to assimilate and that makes it easier. I got awful insomnia too and that magnesium supplement worked the best. Bananas help too maybe because of the potassium they have. 

I use melatonin too but I cycle it. Taking too much will cause your own body to produce less. 

 
I can attest to this working. I take kratom daily, but no other opiates. My kratom tolerance kept going up until I started taking melatonin each night. NMDA receptor antagonists are shown to decrease opiate tolerance and melatonin apparently blocks NMDA in the spinal cord. It also helps me sleep if I dose my kratom too far before bed, then I don't sleep well unless I take melatonin.

I tried DXM also to reduce tolerance and I think it worked a little, but it gives me shits, so I can't really enjoy use it.

Maybe a low dose NMDA RC like 3-meo-xxx or whatever would help.

 
@Roxyanne my partner is a psych nurse working 12 hr shifts,  7a to 7p. By the time she gets home at about 8:30pm she’s so wired she has to talk (confidentiality  of course) for another hour to unwind. Her crazy job combined w/ years of insomnia makes it difficult for her to sleep; therefore it makes it hard for me to sleep. I bought 5mg gummy melatonin made by Spring Valley from Walmart. OMG not only do I fall asleep with that natural feeling but I remember dreaming. Apparently this means I am in REM state. That’s the deepest state where you’re rejuvenating your body and brain. She’s been taking hydroxozine with melatonin for years and has wanted me to take melatonin forever. I just didn’t think cherry 🍒 gummy bears would work....talk about SNORING! Holy molly😤. The windows rattle!!  Long story short...I sleep 💤 like a bambino.

Thanks!

 
@Roxyanne you're extremely SMART but melatonin speeds me Ritalin calms we are having a shortage down here if anyone can help I'll help ANYONE I can Ty so much

 
Melatonin is a hormone that sets your biological clock. It’s referred to as “ the vampire drug” because its mechanism works through the skin. No TV or lights on!!   It is effective in doses.3-5mg anything stronger does little to enhance sleep ( I don’t know, I take 10 mg) but amounts more than 5 mg can cause side effects especially with other medications, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, anticoagulants, blood pressure meds and immunosuppressant s. Yeah Yeah I hear the raspberries!!

There’s always one😂

  1. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  2. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  3. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  5. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  15. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah dude Moore def does not seem like the guy for yall need to clean house
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: I should say our receivers suck
  19. D @ drdrizzy13: AK is hurt. Our receivers hurt and our starting QB went to college for fucking 6 years. If that tells you something. Also he never completed a complete season in college due to injury. We need a new GM and FAST. And surprisingly Kellen Moore's play calling has been TERRIBLE.
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: @drdrizzy13 my boy from way back is a die hard NOLA fan we have some pretty solid back n forth trash talk thru the years haha
