    It only works when it's dark, so don't bother in the day.

          uh .1 mg?

          I take 3-6mg when I take it

          it helps me goto sleep, don't feel tired the next day. When I take my real sleeping pills I sleep for like 18 hours lol on melatonine I sleep normal

            Taking melatonin isn't going to help you get restful sleep if you stay up all night and try to sleep in the daytime.

              in my experience it's best not to take too much. it's not a 'drug' where more is better, it's some kind of natural hormone. took 3 one night, made me sick

              I've also found it works better if I don't use it every night. for me just a few times a week AND some folk report weird, vivid dreams.-bmb

                    Of course you aren't going to feel something like melatonin if you are abusing prescription drugs. (Even if you have a legal prescription all those drugs are harmful and unnecessary in almost every case and certainly have contra-indications against mixing!) Your overall health and sleep cycle are already routinely affected.

                      my 12 year old son takes 1 pill daily, as in he takes it at 20.00 hours and within half an hour he sleeps, no problem.
                      in your case I would recommend the Juicy advice, take as much as you can swallow and I think most people would agree with us I am sure.

                        Avoid all those drugs at all costs. Highly addictive and really bad for you.

                              I agree. 1mg is good. 3mg could make you sick or give you a headache.

                                  First of all you should understand melatonine is not sleeping medication but a hormone that is understood to be secreted by a gland in the brains to induce/enforce a sleep pattern. It's completely different than the stuff kman mentioned. So the question is what you intend to use it for. If you go to bed in the morning and you can't get sleep then, I don't think you'll get far as you'll probably have a natural melatonine pulse in the evening too. It's silly and unhealthy to have such a rhythm anyway.

                                  I've taken it once to try and adjust quicker to a new timezone, on this short experience I can't say if it actually works. Scientific evidence is not very thick yet.

                                  There are still lots of questions about dosage in the medical community. The official Dutch pharmacotherapeutical guidebook recommends 2 mg but I've seen reports of far less. Up to 300 mg/day has been tried without clinically significant side effects.

                                    1mg for children

                                    3mg for adults

                                    You will have vivid dreams and it is not recommended to take it every night. Advise to take 30 minutes before bed time.

                                        On the nights I take it, I go with 5 mg before bed.
