Accepted Answer

Melatonin ok: Melatonin wi Xanax and Zoloft is ok. However speak to your doctor about your continuing sleep problem. You maybe better off taking the Xanax just before bed. If it is a short time with the Zoloft the sleep may improve as you get 3 to 6 weeks in.

Question 3

is it okay to take xanax (alprazolam) and a melatonin together?

Probably: There is not a definite concern about taking both together.  If you have another sleep problem, the two (especially together) could mask a significant sleep problem.  If taken too close to wake up, could make you groggy upon waking.

Question 4

i took .5 xanax (alprazolam) as i'm prescribed can i still take 2 melatonin 3mg pills? & will it help w not being up every hour

Accepted Answer

Xanax (alprazolam) and melatonin?: It sounds like the Xanax (alprazolam) is being prescribed and you're taking it according to the Rx. It's important to talk your doc about all of your OTC meds as well. I'm sure ur prescribing doc could best advise on whether he thought melatonin would help or harm your insomnia. Give him a ring !

Question 7

Question 8

Accepted Answer

You can take: 1 0.25 mg Xanax after melatonin, if it does not help with sleep then please see a healthcare provider to help diagnose the problem and prescribe something specific for insomnia and/or treatment for underlying issue.   Xanax is most likely not the answer to your problem.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 9

how long after taking 0.25mg of xanax can i take valerian root, l-theanine, and melatonin for sleep?

Accepted Answer

: All these supplements are supposed to induce relaxation and induce sleep, actions similar to those of xanax. Since supplements are not investigated by the FDA we physicians are reluctant to endorse them as we don't know if contaminants are present, don't know the ideal dose,don't know side effects, don't know how effective they really are. Your pharmacist may have more information for you.
