Is it safe to double up on a dose of 1 mg Melatonin if the initial dose didn't help me fall asleep?

I've been taking it for a few months, but lately the one pill (1mg) doesn't seem to be effective. I'm thinking it would be okay, but wanted to get a few other opinions.
Answer:
I think that since they come in higher doses than that you will be safe to take more than one but I would do it slowly like try 2 out for a month or so and then go up as needed but if you are having trouble sleeping ALL the time you might want to consider talking to a dr about that you could have other health issues that are effecting your brains ability to drift off to sleep. Just as a precaution is all I take otc sleeping pills occasionally when I need to. I work third shift so sometimes its hard to sleep when I get home afterthat sunlight gets in your brain sometimes I can't sleep all day. I feel your pain in that area and wish you well and good health!!
Read the label. Checg the amount ,it comes in microgms too .I have up to 6 mgs .no problem.
It should be fine. But, if you are taking any MAOI's this could be very dangerous. **Speak to your PCP if you are taking any other drugs with Melatonin**
