6-9 mg and you can mix in a time released as well.
Taken 30-40 minutes prior to settling in bed

But the blows they have just a little more

Gonna take a breath and try again.

Ditto to what E said.
And, be patient and constant. It may take a few days for it to build up and take effect. NEVER skip a night, and try to take them at approx the same time every night.
I tried 6 mg for a few days, then upped it to 9mg. 9 mg worked great for me.

Just don't go over 12, it seems to cancel itself out in higher doses.

This works best for me.
My CH treatment
20min HOT steamy shower 1 hour before bed
3-6 mg of melatonin and 2-6 mg of time-release melatonin afterwards
Go to bed
Wake up in the morning; take 250 mg of magnesium and 20 mg of fluoxetine (prozac)
Abort with zomig and O2 at 15 LPM as needed.
