Melatonin/5-HTP/L-Theanine for sleep


Recommended Posts

Long story short, pdoc is out of town, horrible insomnia, nothing I have on hand is working.

Went to the pharmacy and bought this stuff. It has 100 mg of L-Theanine, 15 mg of 5HTP, and 1.5 mg of Melatonin.

Anyone know if this is going to be dangerous with my meds? And/or whether this stuff might actually work?

5HTP could put you at risk for serotonin syndrome since you are taking a ssri.

Melatonin can sometimes increase or induce vivid dreaming, I know you've also been having nightmares.

Awww tryp that sucks. Have you tried having a warm bath with lavender essential oil in it? I find that really helps me. And also if I sprinkle a few drops on my pillow at night. It's not a miracle cure, but when my sleeplessness isn't too bad, it seems to help me relax enough so that I can get to sleep.

Hope this helps some.
