  4. Melatonin. Will not decrease?

brain-icon
Melatonin.
I consulted an online psychiatrist on Practo for my sleep issues, and the doctor prescribed 5mg of melatonin. I want to know if I will need to increase the dosage later on because I have heard that the effectiveness of the dosage decreases over time. Is this true? Or I can continue with 5mg Effectiveness will not decrease?
