3. Headaches

Melatonin supplements can cause headaches in some people. This side effect usually comes on immediately after taking the pills. This can sometimes be a sign that the dose is too high; taking a lower dosage might eliminate this symptom.

Two to 5 mg is generally considered a safe beginner dose. Sometimes using a different brand can also yield better results.
