How small are your small doses? Melatonin is often sold in 5 mg tablets, but Dr. Andrew Weil [1] recommends 2.5 mg at bedtime as an occasional dose and a much lower dose, 0.25 to 0.3 mg, for regular use.

I believe I was taking 2.5mg. Maybe I'll try 1.25 next time I need it. 2.5 seemed to have a pretty strong effect for me.
