5-HTP AND CELEXA FOR SLEEP

Posted by morel1 on July 10, 2004, at 17:18:06

Hello,
I have insomina as long as i can remember and i've tried sleeping pills and sleep studies. Doctor has come to the conclusion it must be depression. If depression leads to insomina, is that a direct corolation to melatonin levels? I have had a test and the doctor sez my melatonin levels are ok but when i compared them to a normal graph, my melatonin levels did steadily increase throughout the night but were at significantly lower levels then the norm. Any ideas? Oh yeah I live in Canada so Melatonin is not over the counter so i'll go to my psy-doc and ask for a prescription. But 5-htp is available. I am taking 40mg of Celexa for 2 months and my anxiety has disappeared and mood lifted a bit - but i'm still tired everyday. How safe is it to take 5-htp and celexa together?
Thanks everyone,
