What happens if i overdose on melatonin?
Melatonin can accumulate in the liver if used in high does for a long period of time, several months or more. This can lead to higher than normal melatonin levels in the morning hours when they should be lowest, making it hard to awaken, causing mental fogginess, etc. High melatonin levels can also suppress normal adrenal function, especially in the early morning hours, leading to fatigue and lethargy. Melatonin should be only be used on a short term basis, in small doses (1-3 mg. are generated naturally when healthy) and as needed to correct abnormal sleep patterns, due to stress, jet lag, etc.

When Ambien is combined with any CNS depressant, which includes alcohol, it will increase the effects of that depressant.

Can melatonin use lower your chances of becoming pregnant?
Melatonin CAN interfere with ovulation (the release of a mature egg). For example, move your ovulation date later, causing a shortened Luteal Phase (the period of time from ovulation until the start of menstruation). The best chances for a healthy implantation are with a longer luteal phase, thus the earlier you ovulate, the better your baby's chances are for a good, healthy implantation. I believe Melatonin can also prevent ovulation. I was taking it to help me sleep, not thinking that it would mess with my reproductive system, since it's "natural". However, after doing some research on it, I found out it can interfere with ovulation and I stopped taking it immediately.
Melatonin is released preferentially during the night, especially between the hours of 10 and 2 a.m. These are the best hours in which to obtain deep, restful sleep.

What are Insulin-epinephrine-melatonin-and-glucagon called?
The word you're reaching for is "hormones". All of these substances are natural hormones, but they are a mixed bag otherwise. Insulin and glucagon are polypeptide, or protein-based, hormones, and they both regulate aspects of glucose (blood sugar) metabolism. Melatonin and epinephrine (adrenaline) are both small-molecule hormones that regulate sleep-wake (circadian) cycles and the "fight or flight" response, respectively. Both melatonin and epinephrine have non-hormone functions in the body as well. Melatonin is an antioxidant, while epinephrine is an important neurotransmitter.
