A member asked:
I have a hard time sleeping, part to anxiety. on antidepressants&anti anxiety meds, and 600mcg of melatonin daily. is the melatonin safe to use daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Felt to be safe: Overall there is limited data to suggest that long term melatonin use is harmful, but remember, ideally you want to address why you have a sleeping issue and optimize your sleep hygiene, instead of having to rely on a medication/supplement to use daily.
