Hello Sincere Scott -

I'm very sorry I didn't reply sooner to your question. You are such a knowledgeable guy I presumed you'd already know. Most packages of melatonin have a warning about taking it if you have a problem with depression. From what I understand certain depressions benefit from it, while it will make others worse. I know that it affects levels of serotonin, but what's going on there I really don't know. (Sorry, I am having some major problems with cognition and memory right now, which makes me feel pretty useless.)

Here's a link for starters:

I did read somewhere that they did a study that showed fluvoxamine increased the bioavailability of melatonin. Don't know if that's a clue.

Best wishes,

mary

p.s. When I took it I went up to a six tablets a night. It didn't help me. I was so depressed at the time I don't think I would have noticed if I felt worse - it was right before I decided to have ECT.
