Homeopathic melatonin, is not really melatonin. In laymens terms, this is the difference:
Prescribed Melatonin (and OTC Melatonin in the USA), are the same. they are the actual melatonin drug, sqaushed up in the tablet with usualy good effects. Homeopathic (the OTC oz version) is not the actual drug. Its like shaking up a bottle of water full of melatonon tablets, then claiming the water to be Melatonin (which they call homeopathic. Only a very small amount of melatonin gets through, which is what OTC, pharmacies sell. But generally, they dont try and pitch it at you, they pitch you the valerian, simply cos of melatonins homeopathic state here. So, either see your docter or order online.
You can also buy some interesting sleep concotions online. One combines 5-htp, Melatonin and Valerian. Im guessing that would garntee any rave-dude and good night sleep. But carefull of the amount per each tablet. It may not be worth it. I use this website.

[Edit: Source info removed. I appreciate that you were trying to help but this is not permitted in Aus Discussion. It should suffice to mention that you can usually buy supplements such as this from the same online sources as you can get 5-HTP. They're not terribly difficult to find. BT]
