Re: [low dose naltrexone): For . Melatonin

[Guest guest]

,

You always have such helpful and information. I recently had a lot of stress

and started to suffer from high blood pressure. At the moment I still use

half a tablet every second day of high blood pressure medication (ACE

inhibitor), as well as 1.5mg melatonin in the evenings. Can you take

melatonin if you have high blood pressure?

Thank you,

Petro

Be aware that melatonin can reduce the strength of some blood pressure

medications. Speak to your pharmacist about your BP medication and melatonin.

A way to get natural melatonin is to drink Red Tart Cherry Juice Concentrate

from the healthfood store. My mom buys the Brownwood Acres Red Tart Cherry

Juice Concentrate. Put in your search engine Brownwood Acres Red Tart Cherry

Juice Concentrate for their website. My mom drinks her cherry juice around 8pm.

She's using it as a form of cancer preventative along with her LDN.

, does the tart cherry juice help your mother sleep? I've been

taking Ambien for about two years now, because my ability to fall

asleep and stay asleep has been affected by MS. I'm curious about

melatonin, but reluctant to try yet ANOTHER supplement...

I've taken various blood pressure medications for years and 9 mg/night of

melatonin. I've never had a problem with it and I'm not aware of any

warnings and/or reasoning why there could/should be a problem. The body

naturally makes melatonin.

Steve, there are warnings out there for blood pressure meds and melatonin.

Natural melatonin and pill melatonin are quite different. Check with your

pharmacy about your BP meds and melatonin.

She sleeps like a baby. Would take that tornado warning siren at the edge of

her back yard going off to wake her but she's always slept pretty good. She

drinks an 8 ounce glass every night before bed. She adds a little Stevia

sweetener to it.
