A member asked:
If i am taking a 5 milligram xanax (alprazolam) and i can't sleep can i take melatonin on top of it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, you can. Xanax (alprazolam) is not a sleep medicine per se but can help with sleep. It is also habit forming so don't take if it is not helping and you don't need it.
