Please help, how much melatonin should i take for sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Melatonin: Dose of melatonin varies from 3mg to 10mg. You might start with 3 or 5mg. Some people need to take it one hour before bed, some people need to take it up to three hours before bed. You may want to talk to your doctor of pharmacist about what dose is right for you and interactions with any other medications you take.
