Let me tell you about my experience with melatonin -- the wrong dosage and I it's like speed to me.
Seriously, I once inadvertently got a product with 10 mg in it. OMG. For two days I was sick with feeling anxiety and speediness.
Even 5 is too much for me.
I've discovered 1 mg is perfect. Weird, huh? 3 mg sometimes but other time it, too is just a bit over the top. So I bought 1 mg gel tabs and am experimenting with 1 and 2 mg.
It's worth experimenting.
Wow, one of those should have helped you. You must have an unusual metabolism. Try the Costco "Sleep Aid" which is doxylamine succinate, at about 1/4 to 1/2 tablet to start and see how groggy you feel in the AM. That might work for you. Note, I am not a doctor, not a medical professional.
