Can Melatonin Be Taken While On Lexapro And Ritalin?
My daughter is 15, 5 4 125 lbs. Is on medication for anxiety (lexipro generic) and ritalin (generic). Has trouble falling asleep and she has been asking about melatonin. Is this safe with her current medications, if so, how much would be appropriate? Ongoing problem for 2 years. Takes 2 hours sometimes to fall asleep. She has a sound machine, calming lights and listens to quiet music--not working. Thanks.
