If you take 1 to 2mg melatonin, will your body adapt which will result in you making less so you need more?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful : When people's sleep cycle is off, melatonin my mouth can help it adjust back to normal. staying out of bright light is also helpful. Your dose is very low. Some people require 10 to 15 mg. It has no toxic effects and does not interact with any other medications. Reduce your dose to zero once your sleep cycle is back to normal.
