Am I kidding myself thinking Melatonin alone will prevent my headaches? I'm up to 10mg, which worked the 1st 2 nights, but got a headache last night. Thinking about trying 15mg tonight. Has anyone had success on Melatonin alone? Thanks.

He figured out his effective nightly dosing...I think his was in the 15 mg range, then split it in half. Took half standard release melatonin, and half slow release. Said it really helped get him through the night. Joe
