Melatonin can cause drowsiness if taken during the day. If you are drowsy the morning after taking melatonin, try taking a lower dose. Additional side effects include stomach cramps, dizziness, headache, irritability, decreased libido, breast enlargement in men (called gynecomastia), and reduced sperm count.
People vary in the amount of melatonin that is optimal. Itâs best to start with a low dose and to increase your dose only if necessary. Review the following cautions when taking melatonin. Taking too much melatonin can cause sleepiness the next day, headaches, depression or intestinal discomfort. Obviously, as melatonin is taken to induce sleep, drowsiness and a decrease in attention can be expected as normal side effects of the hormone.
