I use 3mg before bed. I've read about people taking many times that amount with no side effects. I've experimented with as much as 20 mg with no problem. One of the things I like about melatonin is that I'm not drowsy in the morning and there are no apparent side effects. IP: Logged |

3mg works great for me. I have had trouble getting to sleep without it lately. I'm usualy in bed by 9pm because I get up at 5am. last night i didn't take any and couldn't fall asleep until 2am. I did not think you became dependant on this stuff? IP: Logged |

been taking 2mg and it works great. Don't take to much or it does the opposite effect causing insomnia! IP: Logged |

Melatonin does not work right away i.e. you have to take it for a while at the same time each day before bed for it starts to work properly. This guy I used to work with swares by it, I think its purely a placebo. IP: Logged |

take 3mg. then wait about 15 min. and then go lay down. this is important with melatonin! you will not get real sleepy on it if you continue being active, you have to make an effort to go lay down and close your eyes. You should fall asleep within 5 min. of laying down. ------------------ "conan, what is best in life?" IP: Logged |

E2, just eat the whole bottle, just kidding, 3 mg is all it takes for me, just take it every day at the same time, it too tends to like a regular cycle(sounds familar doesn't it?) Later bro, gaining every day, gotta go, I'm off to the gym... Eat, lift, rest... IP: Logged |

efigy, is right you have to take it then lay down and close your eyes or it does'nt work,i'm using 10-mg a night and it works great,caution though your dreams will become very vivid in the first week or so after that it seems to subside, not that vivid dreams are a bad thing if you're dreaming of i dunno lets say jennifer lopez in a thong....hahaha. peace,out IP: Logged |

I usually use 3 mg. but have gone as high as 9 mg in the past. Usually the lower doses are more effective. IP: Logged |

i use 6-12mg although for some reason now the shit has stopped working...i have since switched to 1,4-butandiol which with a dose of 2ml knocks my me out for about 6-8 hrs straight...feel refreshed when i get up too so thats a benefit IP: Logged |
