I have experienced some short-term memory loss after taking melatonin for only two weeks. I did find some information on this website:

Yes, severe headaches are a common cause for people to stop taking melatonin supplements.
Melatonin is generally considered safe for most people, but there have been rare reports of tremors or other movement disorders in some individuals after taking melatonin supplements. These side effects may be linked to individual sensitivities or interactions with other medications. If you experience tremors while taking melatonin, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
I have been using Melatonin 3mg for the past 12months almost every night, as I had suffered from palpitations and could not get to sleep Melatonin was the only natural remedy that worked. For the past 2 months I have noticed a decline in my short term memory and ability to grasp simple everyday words in a hurry, I worried that this may be connected to my long term use of Melatonin and have for the past week discontinued it's use, no harm to give it a break for a while. I want to see if after further non usage whether my memory etc improves.
YES
Too much Melatonin can cause kidney damage which caused urine odor. Beware!
I have experienced confusion/memory problems after taking Tylenol Extra Strength.
Melatonin is generally considered safe for most people and is not commonly associated with causing seizures. However, in some cases, particularly in individuals with certain medical conditions or those taking specific medications, melatonin may have an effect on seizure thresholds. It's important for individuals with a history of seizures or epilepsy to consult a healthcare provider before using melatonin. Overall, more research is needed to fully understand its effects in these situations.
It's generally not recommended to take melatonin and Excedrin PM together without consulting a healthcare provider. Excedrin PM contains diphenhydramine, an antihistamine that can cause drowsiness, and combining it with melatonin may enhance sedation effects. Always check with a doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
Valerian root and melatonin are generally considered safe for short-term use, but they can cause side effects in some individuals. Valerian root may lead to headaches, dizziness, or gastrointestinal issues, while melatonin can cause drowsiness, dizziness, or nausea. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional before combining them, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications. Always start with lower doses to assess your tolerance.
I am wondering this myself. I take Melotonin along with Ambien and get drug tested every once in awhile by my doctor because I take Suboxone. I always test positive for Barbituates and my doctor figured it was because of the seizure medication I was taking (dialantin) she trusts me and doesn't give it a second thought(which she should). Seizure meds can cause positives for Barbs but they are mostly in drugs like Phenobarbitol. So it points to the Melotonin.
No; the correct hormone for helping depression would be serotonin. Melatonin helps regulate biological rhythms.
It takes a lot of pills... We are talking about bottles.
