A member asked:
Is it possible for you to take melatonin with codine cough syrup?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you have taken melatonin in the past with good results, it is ok to take it along with a prescription cough syrup. Just be aware that there can be additive effects of taking both together, ie you may be more sedated than usual, or even feel groggy when you wake up in the morning. Use a low dose of melatonin, eg .5-1 mg and increase by .5mg nightly if needed.
