Is Melatonin Safe With Antidepressants?
Q: Does anyone know if melatonin is safe to take if one is taking an
antidepressant, such as Wellbutrin.
I am on 150 mg Wellbutrin and need to wean off of Dalmane, an addictive sleep
med, but was hoping maybe melatonin would smooth out the sleep side effects
that Wellbutrin has brought on.

BTW, I found that Wellbutrin SR disturbed my sleep but regular Wellbutrin
didn't. I'd take the last dose by 6 pm and I was fine.
I am on SR and didnt know that. What dosage were you on both SR and not?
I am only on 150mg a day. Maybe even at that low dose, its the SR thats doing
it to my sleep.
whattya think?
I started with 100mg Wellbutrin SR, 2x a day. But my sleep was disturbed
and I had a "caffeinated" feeling. If I didn't take the second dose, it
was better. I figured that the sustained release formula was staying in
my system too long. So I switched to (the regular) Wellbutrin, and found
I was fine. My doctor wanted me to take 100 mg 3x a day, so I'd take the
last dose by 6 pm. and it has worked out well.
Here is a list that should determine who can and cannot take a
melatonin supplement.
Melatonin is not for use by children, teenagers, or pregnant or
lactating women. If you are under medical supervision, or have an
auto immune disease, diabetes, a depressive disorder, epilepsy,
leukemia, or lymphoprliferative disorder or are taking MAO inhibitor
drugs or corticosteroids such as cortisol or prednisone, consult with
your physician before taking this type of product.
