Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Melatonin 3mg has been found useful in condition of tinnitus.
Usual dosage prescribed is 3mg in night time after food before you sleep. It should be taken regularly for a month period after that depending upon response and symptoms, medication is revised.
Zolpidem will helpnyou sleep so whenever you are having insomnia you can take 1 tablet during sleeping. It can be taken in starting days as tinnitus can make it difficult to sleep. Hence its given to assist sleep.
Once melatonin effect start working in few days, zolpidem won't be needed hence can be stopped.
I hope I have answered your query well.
