Welcome @ahazim, I thought I would jump in while you wait for other members to respond to your question. Here are a couple of articles I found on the topic.

"There is no official recommended melatonin dosage for adults, but a range of 0.5 milligram to 5 milligrams appears to be safe and effective." --- Melatonin Dosage by Age and Weight | Sleep Foundation: https://www.sleepfoundation.org/melatonin/melatonin-dosage-how-much-should-you-take

"Melatonin is a sleep hormone that helps your body prepare for sleep. Cleveland Clinic experts recommend 1 mg as a starting dose." --- Melatonin: How Much Should You Take?: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/melatonin-how-much-should-i-take-for-a-good-nights-rest/

Have you discussed using melatonin with your doctor?
