You can but only in low doses, as they both effect serotonin. I wouldn't take more than 50mg Elavil and 50mg 5 HTP daily. Exceeding this could cause a rare bu serious condition(serotonin syndrome).
can we take ginkgo and 5htp together
Can you take hydrochlorothiazide together with melatonin
The is NO medical contraindications to the taking of them both. It SHOULD be safe.
can a person take melatonin and depakote,and will there be a reaction
There are no known interactions between Motrin PM and Melatonin
echnacea and zinc together
Supposedly they are trying to market this combination together in one pill, as buspirone depletes melatonin levels. So I am assuming it is okay.
Although these two are commonly mixed together, which is not recommended. there is a major drug interaction between them, which can lead to health problems and even death. call your doctor immediately.
St Johns Wort has the same affect as 5HTP,they are both precursors of serotonin. Serotonin being the precursor to Melatonin. Keeping it simple if you take melatonin then start on a low dosage 1.5mg-3mg taking . Larger doses not being analogous to being more affective. Also if your body is low in Melatonin then it will work. If you find you take it and it doesn't have the desired affect with in a short time then your body has enough Melatonin and is not the reason you are experiencing sleep problems and you don't need it. Also some people report experiencing depression and dark moods with melatonin this possibly due to the body not requiring the extra melatonin. It may be better to try supplementing them separately to see which works best. Some people do well on only 5HTP. It is interesting to note that 5HTP-serotonin are produced during the day ready to be converted when darkness sets to be transformed into Melatonin. Also there is a very strong connection with Vitamin D deficiency and insomnia and depression. Vitamin D is the Sunshine hormone so that would also be worth looking into. A deficiency in the daytime hormones or their precursors can affect melatonin levels. Just take note of how you react to each one separately and base your judgment on that.
I asked my pharmacist and he looked it up on their professional drug interaction checker- he didn't find anything wrong with taking them together.
Lisinopril for high blood pressure. Melatonin for sleep. It'll work, but you'll have a hard time waking up. It's best to either take them both when you ain't got anything to do the next day or take them separately -- the melatonin for sleep and lisinopril when you wake up.
Benadryl, melatonin, or Dramamine will help you sleep
