Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / July 2008melatonin
I've been intermittent with ADT after failing radiation for about 10 years. Recently I started 3 mg daily of melatonin. This sleep aid has slightly reduced my PSA (now 2.98). Has anyone else looked into the over-the-counter drug ? I have misplaced the article suggesting the use of melatonin for PC. I am very active (81 YOA) and play golf (shot my age last week) 3x a week. I have the known other problems, but it is so good to be looking down at the grass. Welcome, Fen! I assume your primary treatment was radiation, as opposed to salvation radiation treatment. When was your initial treatment? You may be the longest survivor in the newsgroup! Congrats on your golf score. I'd be happy to shoot my age in nine holes. > I've been intermittent with ADT after failing radiation for about 10 > years. Recently I started 3 mg daily of melatonin.

I've not seen any reduction in my PSA for the last two tests following Brachytherepy. I sleep soundly, but can't seem to sleep longer than 5 hours. > I've been intermittent with ADT after failing radiation for about 10 > years. Recently I started 3 mg daily of melatonin.

AMBIAN Cr 6.2 results in 6 to 8 hours of sleep now. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 |
