One: Just one 3mg tablet before bedtime. This seems to be the dosage most widely available, but it is much greater than physiologic as it is.

Dr Ali and 4 doctors agreed

Melatonin: Many individuals may respond to as little at 1 milligram of Melatonin - especially if taken sublingually. So, I would start low. If you have 3 milligram tablets - then I would start with one tablet.
