First, natural does not equal safe. Poison Ivy and Hemlock are natural, but I would not recommend consuming either. Also, though melatonin is a naturally occurring substance, the melatonin found in capsules is normally synthesized in a lab.
Generally speaking it is a relativity safe substance, but it can have side effects such as increased blood pressure or increased blood sugar. So if you have conditions already related to these issues, it might not be the best thing for you. Also, it sounds like at 15 a night, you may be exceeding the recommended dose, which might be harmful.
Just like with any other supplement, you should always consult your doctor before you start taking it regularly.
