Melatonin dependency question. Please help.?

So I've been taking melatonin for about a year to a year and a half and I'm 16 tomorrow and maybe about 130 pounds. I can't get to sleep without and just realized I can't produce it naturally anymore. I've been taking 40 mg's now witch is the limit on what I should take. I only had 10 mg's left tonight and don't see any way to get to sleep at all even being sick all day. How long will it take until I start producing it again and should I ween myself off or quit it all at once.

    The limit for what you should take is 1mg per night! My goodness! Feeling sick is a side effect of an overdose!
