Melatonin 5mg: Melatonin is available over the counter in many different dosages. There is no standard dosage, however I usually recommend starting with 5mg for an adult dosage. You could go up to 10mg but above 10mg there is not usually much more benefit. I'm glad to hear that you are tapering the clonazepam. I'm always a fan of discontinuing regular use of it because it works best when taken only as needed
