Tell your friend to stop taking melatonin stat, especially at anything above 1mg!!
Melatonin just resets your sleep schedule, its not a pill that aids in sleep! Plus, at that level she is shutting down all her Growth hormone production.
DO NOT EVER DEPEND on melatonin to put you to sleep and NEVER take more then a 1mg to reset your cycle ie jet lag.
Melatonin is a HORMONE and as such. Should not be on OTC shelves - should be prescription only and even then, doctors need to be educated on its use.
Just cause you buy it everywhere doesn't mean its safe.
