If you wake up in 5 to 6 hours you can take a couple more. Try to relax your mind. Do you enjoy reading? That has been a great escape for me, and don't keep the tv on, it will keep your mind racing while your trying to force yourself to sleep. I'm proud of you

My doctor said anywhere from 15 to 20mlg. It is natural but you don't want to overdue it. Remember you got this

Hey Shawnee, When I first detoxed, sleep was impossible, now over 130 days later sleep is not a given. What I take now is only 3mg of melatonin along with 600 mg of Neurontin and 150 mg of Trazodone at night. Sleep has been better for me. I doubt the Melatonin would put me to sleep by itself. Although many people rave about it and it works to a degree for me as well.That's all I got. I really hope you find relief real soon. Good Luck! ike
