I picked up some 300 mcg melatonin tablets and was wondering how many I should take to start off with to achieve sleep? Also can you take this in conjunction with Diphenhydramine?

Melatonin
Holden,
I take 6 mg of Melatonin. When I was in rehab, that is what they gave me every night.
I am not sure about taking it with Benadryl. I usually do one or the other.
A tip. Melatonin does not seem to help the first week of not drinking but after that it helps immensely and unlike Benadryl does not make you wake up groggy.
Good luck!!

I found this link:
Melatonin - Herbs & Supplements - Drug Library - DrugDigest
According to the link taking Melatonin along with Topa and an otc sleep aid sounds ok, am I correct?Comment

It sounds like it is not okay based on the above. I would use caution if I were you.Non-prescription Drugs
The sleep-producing effects of over-the-counter products containing diphenhydramine or doxylamine can be enhanced by taking melatonin at the same time. Diphenhydramine and doxylamine are contained in many over-the-counter sleep aids as well as in some cough and cold products, therefore caution should be used when taking these medications with melatonin because excessive drowsiness may result.
