Anyone know where I can find melatonin tablets <300 mcg? Splitting 300 mcg into 75 mcg quarters still gives me morning sleepiness, thinking smaller dose will reduce remaining melatonin upon wake time. Thanks.

You could use liquid melatonin instead, and dilute it to a usably measurably small dose.

Or he could use whatever pills to make his own liquid melatonin, and titrate from there.

I bought a bunch of stoppered bottles with calibrated eye droppers for the purpose. 6 bottles, 7 bucks at amazon, though that item shows no longer available.

Thanks. I haven't used liquid products much before. Anything you've noticed that's significantly different in terms of onset time, effect duration, etc?

I haven't used them since I haven't tried to go that low dose yet. I assume they would be absorbed faster but otherwise similar.

The Netherlands. I think that they will ship anywhere in the EU, even places where it requires a prescription. I don't know about the US. But I'm skeptical that dose is your problem.
