I've never discussed the amount of melatonin with medical providers but I often wonder if the reason I wake up with an upset stomach and anxiety is a result of it. I'll bring it up in therapy and I might ask my pdoc on Thursday. I know I normally get by with 20mil and they do sell that dose on Amazon. So I don't think the 20mil is really considered dangerous. And I do take it at the same time every day. My bedtime routine has actually been pretty consistent its just my sleep that has not been.
