>Just to let everyone know, I am taking 20mg w/ breakfast and 40mg w/ dinner. I still had trouble with sleep, and after trying Ambien and Lunesta, I tried Melatonin. It is a god send. It has regulated my sleep and I feel a lot better now that I can sleep. I am taking 2.5mg sublingual tablets about 45min before bedtime and it relaxes me and lets me sleep.
