Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Hello - Does anyone know if melatonin and or vitaB6 reduces the efficacy of neurontin? I have searched the drug interaction data bases and am not finding anything. I took the melatonin with my nighttime dose of neurontin. Yowsa!! Have struck out on prescription sleep meds, sleepy teas, and valerian root. So thought the melatonin might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I don't know about that, but I do know about Neurontin and Paxil. I got totally manic and couldn't sleep at all. As soon as I stopped the Paxil, the pain went away and I slept like a baby. Might you be taking something else that reacts with the Neurontin?

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Thanks Ida. No, I don't think so. Perhaps it's one of the inactive ingredients like magnesium sterate. The only change is when I took the melatonin this evening to try to get some sleep. It happened pretty quickly. The melatonin helped me to fall asleep, but within an hour, my neurontin dose was gone and the nerve pain woke me up. So I'm up distracting myself until some more neurontin kicks in. So much for the sleep. You are up late also. > Is there a drug interaction between neurontin and melatonin and or Vit B6? > > Hello - Does anyone know if melatonin and or vitaB6 reduces the efficacy of neurontin?

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 well yes, magnesium can block the effects of neurontin, but was there enough magnesium sterate to make a difference?
