I vary between 9mg and 12mg. Haven't had to go up to 15mg (yet). I don't take it when I'm out of cycle.
When going on I started at 3mg and went up every other day till I hit the desired range.

I googled your question. It seems because it hasn't been tested it has been withdrawn from sale in the UK. You can, however, receive it by mail order from the States.

9-15 mg -- I take it year round. When I'm in a high cycle I take more - low, I take less. I think it's wonderful and has pretty much stopped the night hits.

 For me the magic number depends if its based in B-6 or just the melatonin, with the plain melatonin I have to take 25 mg plus 2-B-12's or the B-6 formula I take 24mg.
Its good for a couple of hours of rest! Pappy

In cycle (which is the only time I take it) I've been using 9 mg. I'm 6'2" and 180 lbs. , so I could probably up it a bit, although it seems to work quite well at that level.
Best wishes,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

9-18mgs, and half of that is usually "time-release" melatonin, makes for a longer sleep.

Religion and sex are powerplays. Manipulate the people for the money they pay. Selling skin, selling God, the numbers look the same on their credit cards. Triptans cause rebounds. Learn it, believe it, live it. I use triptans as the absolute LAST RESORT when treating my CH.
