I just want to reiterate that the Melatonin tabs that must be swallowed do not work the same (for me or anyone else I know personally) as the sublingual (melt under tongue) Melatonin.
And 3 mgs. would undoubtedly leave you feeling low, morose, depressed, and all those other negative adjectives.
I take the sublingual about 3-4 times a week; usually after I've really messed up my sleep (i.e. Reading a Sharyn McCrumb or Stuart Woods into the wee hours of the morning.), and only 0.5 to 1 mg total.
And the sublingual supposedly clears your body at a much faster rate, although I don't have the evidence to back-up this claim. All I want to say is that is has truly been a life-saver for me, who has suffered from insomnia since I was four or five :o)
