It is a prescription medication, and it can be filled at a compound pharmacy. The Meletonin is much better en the store bought stuff. I am using a 10mg sustained released capsule. I get it at the Medquest pharmacy mail order from Utah.

Oh thanks- I am in utah. My wife found the 10 mg extended release melatonin over the counter yesterday. Took it last night and it wasn't far from a great night but I have had worse. I was up every hour but able to fall back to sleep. I will give it a few more tries but might have to try something else, maybe the tryptophan. Also noticed I was back on the edge of having tachycardia that hasn't shown itself since when I was taking melatonin on a regular basis. hmmmmm.

My rhuemi doc has me taking over the counter 50mg benadryl normally used for alergies, puts me right to sleep, I take it with the melatonin.
