Hey all, looking for guidance on what to do about a DQ due to taking melatonin? I was slapped with D213.00 back in April, and it states “Chronic Insomnia within past year.”

They had asked about melatonin use that had been noted in a separate remedial that they sent me to. I had no idea that taking melatonin was by any means unacceptable for ascension standards, as most of my officers and fellow Sailors have taken it in the past.

I’m a prior enlisted Sailor — recently separated. I’ve been attending a maritime academy since that time, and have been spending significant time at sea over the past year. I never expected to have this much trouble with getting through medical with DoDMERB. I’m a bit frustrated at this point and am trying to figure out what my options are. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
If you’d like, you may send me an email: lawrence.e.mullen.civ@mail.mil; provide complete name and last 4 SSN; provide the text of your posting above to YOUR email. The subject line of the email should be “GenericUsername7- SAF = DQ to to sleeping supplements.“ Do NOT embed links in your email as I will not be able to view those.:wiggle:
