Can You Take Melatonin with Alcohol?

Question

I have had about 6 beers and feel fine but I would like to get to sleep - is it safe to take two 5mg Melatonin tabs?

Answer 1

im 99% sure theres not a problem cause you already naturally produce melatonin but i recommend that you don't due to the fact that both are depressants.

Answer 2

Read the fact sheet that comes with the tablets to be on the safe side.

Answer 3

It's perfectly safe, although be aware that alcohol prevents REM sleep - the deepest and most important stage of your sleeping cycle.

To Ann B, above me - Melatonin is not a prescription medication. It is simply a natural hormone. Your body naturally converts serotonin to melatonin at night when your body is ready for sleep. Melatonin is perfectly safe.

Answer 4

please don't mix drugs with alcohol it's not the safest way to take medication, for your own saftey, atleast don't attempt it

Answer 5

Its your choice, you should not mix tablets for sleeping with alchohol, but if you cannot sleep after having 6 beers, go ahead
