Hello dear
Warm welcome to Health care magic family .
I have evaluated your query in depth .

@ Melatonin has not such common side effect .
@ Still one can get any unknown side effect at any moment .
My suggestions for you .

- Increase the liquid intake , check for change in urine color , odor
if it changes means your body needs more liquids .
- Else stop it for 3 - 4 days , maintain same water intake , if it comes to
normal this is absolutely drug induced only
you may ask for alternative with the doctor in that case .

Hope this will help you .
Feel free to ask any further doubts .
Thanks for evaluating my answer .
Regards .
