Hi I Am A Problem Sleeper. I Have Been Taking

default
Posted on Fri, 3 Apr 2020
Question: Hi

I am a problem sleeper. I have been taking melatonin every night for the last couple of years. I am also taking Deralin (propranolo) for anxiety and when I feel panic. I have recently started to take 4mg melatonin and 40mg of Deralin before bed. Which has improved my sleep and lessened by sleep anxiety. However I am worried that taking the Deralin could make my sleep worse as there are side effects of melatonin. I am also worried if I stop the Deralin and just take the melatonin that I will lie awake in bed all night. What would you suggest I do? I have been taking the Deralin on and off but for the past week have taken every night with melatonin and sleep has been good. What would you recommend I do? I know it is not addictive but I am worried by all of this.

Brief Answer:
You can take them together.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you can take both deralin (propanolol) and melatonin.
They don't interact with each other and neither they cause addiction.
You can take propanolol before bad till your anxiety gets better and then you can stop it.
