Melatonin Works Hurts Harmful

I really need to realize that every single supplement can have positive or negative effects. I'd been hearing the testimonials of people who swear by melatonin and how harmless it was to take.....then I took one.
I took a 1.25 mg tablet. Yes, it definitely made it easier to fall asleep, but it gave me the strangest, scariest eye pain Ever. Throw in a little psychotic thinking and some idiopathic aggression. That is scary, scary shit!
I took 1mg the next night, thinking my body needed to get used to this new hormone. Nope, all the negative symptoms were twice as bad. I ended up taking anxiety medicine and talking myself down, don't ask, for most of the night.
I shall never take melatonin again. In part, it is a shame, because...within my body I felt such a peaceful calmness that I had never experienced before. Truly.
I don't know if it is a positive trait to be able to see both the bad and the good. I had to make a decision. It's in my best interest to never take it again...it brought me too close to the edge.
