Interaction between melatonin and meds

Interaction between melatonin and meds

Hi all, new to the Forum. Just wanted to see if anyone has had any problems taking melatonin. My doctor prescribed it to help me sleep but it seems to have reacted rather badly with my meds. I have stopped taking it and feel much better. Guess the proof of the pudding....

Has anyone else had any experience like this?

thanks

@Fee1 @Bubbles3 I have been taking melatonin now for 2 days and my depression has hit me like a freight train.

Years ago I took a medication with Melatonin in it and I had the same reaction.

I am waiting for the medication to get out ofy body and I'm going back to antihistamines.

Hope it works for you guys though

HI @Awpgirl and @Bubbles3. My experience with melatonin was taken occasionally it is ok and works quite well, but taken everyday for a week seems to interact with my other meds and makes me feel a bit unbalanced.

I have had to revert back to Antihistamines. I might try it again in a week's time to confirm if it was the medication that caused the last few days
