Is Melatonin Advisable While On Celexa And Strattera?
Hi, my 10 year old son takes 20mg celexa at 6pm after dinner, and 40 mg strattera after breakfast @ 8am. Some nights he can t sleep, and is up till 11:00/12:00, even though he goes to bed at 9-9:30. He doesn t get screen time after 8:30. Would it be safe to give him melatonin on the nights he can t sleep?

Hello,
You can safely start on melatonin.
It will not interact with his routine drugs and does not affect the efficacy of one another.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
