Question 1

Is it okay to take melatonin and ativan (lorazepam)?

Accepted Answer

This is usually safe, but it will depend on many individual factors.  Consult your doctor to determine  what is right in your circumstances.

Question 2

I'm on synthroid, lexapro, (escitalopram) ativan, vit d & ferrous sulfate.can i take melatonin to help with sleep?

Accepted Answer

In a neurologically normal, generally healthy adult, there should be no adverse effects from melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone naturally secreted by the body that is suppressed by daylight and climbs with darkness to help entrain the brain's clock to go to sleep. Melatonin does not interact with the medicines and supplements listed. Lower doses are closest to what the brain secretes.

Question 3

With a international flight soon, i will try to get ativan for the flight. to sleep good while there, would 1-3 mg of melatonin or sonata (zaleplon) be better ?

Accepted Answer

Melatonin taken about two hours before your desired bedtime. If that does not work, you can use 10 mg of sonata (zaleplon) if prescribed for you and in this situation i write may repeat x 1 if you wake up and have at least three hours of sleep time left, so you can take another and go back to sleep within about twenty minutes. Have a great flight and a happy new year.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Insomnia is not easily treated with medications only, but a combination of techniques: routine sleep time and wake up time, diet, exercise, relaxation. Consult doctor for medications in appropriate doses and time of administration would make a difference in sleeping cycle regulation. Also need to rule out sleep apnea and nightmares waking up during the night.

All medications you wish to take should be discussed with your oral surgeon before the procedure.

Question 6

Is it safe to take melatonin every night?

Accepted Answer

Not to use long term- but I have many patients who do use it long term with success. Are you using excellent sleep hygiene? If not- try that first. 1. Keep regular bed ; wakening time (includes weekends). Get up same time daily. 
2. Make a regular, relaxing bedtime routine: warm bath or shower, aromatherapy, reading, or listening to gentle music. 
3. Sleep in dark, quiet, cool room w comfortable.

Question 9

Typically melatonin is used to assist in sleep. When you take it in relation to the work out is important. IF it starts working quickly you will feel tired during the workout. Its always better to take it after the workout.

Question 10

I sent a  question about is it safe to take melatonin  if your hypothtoid . i got two totally different answers. , now i'm confused still don't know?

Accepted Answer

That may clear up the confusion ( or not) : http://www.Endocrine-abstracts.Org/ea/0026/ea0026p394.Htm. My understanding is that people who have hypothyroidism from hashimoto's, an auto-immune disorder,  should not take melatonin because it may increase inflamnation in the body.  Please ask your endocrinologist if it is safe for you to take in your particular case. That's always safest.
