What dose did you give him? Start him off really low, at .5 mg, or .25 if that was where he was last night. Increase as needed. Valerie

Nathan has been taking melatonin for a couple of yrs now I believe, and he doesn't seem to have any morning reactions from it. He is usually pretty awake.....more than I am!! LOL
