In reply to Melatonin - How much ?, posted by SLS on January 11, 2001, at 19:16:58
Hi Scott -
My pdoc had me try melatonin. She suggested I started out at .5 mg and then build up. You can go up to quite large doses, although she didn't mention a maximum to me.
You do know about the problems with melatonin and depression, don't you?
best,
mary
> I have been having a lot of trouble sleeping since last Spring. It has gotten worse recently. I am able to fall asleep right away, but my sleep is very choppy, and I get very little sleep after 4:00am. I am trying to avoid taking any hypnotic medication so as not to complicate my treatment for bipolar depression.
