Brief Answer:
it's OK

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

melatonin is a relatively safe drug to use. There is no contraindication in your case, according to the presented data about your medical history. Autoimmune diseases are the only real contraindication. If you're still dependent on clonazepam, melatonin won't ease dependence.

Kind Regards!
