I've been using the Nature's Bounty Dual Spectrum 5mg from Target ($5.99 for 60) and I've had the least side effects of any brand of melatonin I've tried. I'd prefer not to continue using melatonin long-term but I would recommend this brand.

According to the only study I have ever seen that tried to determine the optimal dosage, 1/3 mg is more effective than the higher dosage. My personal experience agrees with this. Try taking less and it might work better.
I do think you build up a resistance after a while and need more after time. I think sublingual ones works the best yet I too have increased my dosages higher and higher. For some nights I'm at 20 mg and I've gone as high as 50 mg but I've been taking melatonin for a long time.

It works best for people with delayed circadian clocks, but if you have insomnia where you can't stay asleep, it may not give you much help. Megadosing it can cause side effects the next day since it's still in your blood.
My only gripe with melatonin is unless its extended release, it usually causes you to wake up after 4-5 hours.
I told my doctor that I hate the drowsiness of melatonin and she recommended this exact brand and dosage. I was skeptical, but there's no point in having a doctor if you're just gonna assume you know better than them.
I bought it. Used it. Out like a rock and zero side effects in the morning. I've been taking this brand and dosage for months and it does the job everytime. It doesn't put me into that good "borderline coma" sleep, but it's just enough to ease me into being too tired to stay awake. Taken at the same time every night, the body gets into a rhythm and it just...works.
Highly recommended.
One third?
I used to take up to 20, 25. I take 1 mg every night now. not sure if it does anything but whatever.
