Melatonin takes awhile to build in your system as it is natural.  I started at 10 mg.  But I was on prescription sleep meds for years so have a high tolerance to anything that is supposed to make me sleepy (:  I would recommend starting at 5 mg.  Hope you get some rest.  It's great for resetting your sleep/wake schedule after detox.  My addiction doctor said it was the # 1 thing he recommends.  Wishing you well.

Melatonin would kick in after a couple of hours for me. Normal sleep returns after awhile. I can't take melatonin or valerian root anymore, its too strong and I am groggy in the morning.
