Is It Safe To Mix Melatonin Supplements With Excedrin?

Hi, I believe I got my first migraine not this past afternoon but the day before, I was doing some shopping and believe I got something called and Aura before the migraine attacked, my vision was a little messed up (I already wear glasses) and then I started to feel a little off and I experienced some motor function disturbance, for about 25 minutes or so I couldn t really read or spell things outloud, and couldn t get out what I really wanted to say, almost as if I was speaking gibberish. I managed to drive 45 minutes home and fell asleep as soon as I got home hoping it would go away, I woke up feeling a little bit better, took some ibuprofen and laid around for the rest of the evening. then went to sleep, I woke up to take my brother to school then stayed up about until about 9am and fell back asleep and woke up at 12pm... hoping alllll my headache symptoms would be gone, they were not. almost worse, I am fatigued and had nausea and a headache all day long, I know migraines can last up to 72 hours, and these are some of the side effects, but I took some execedrin migraine around 830pm and felt almost fine after that, a little woosy but much better. The bottle says not to exceed two pills in 24 hours, and now my headache is starting to linger again, my nausea is at another level (feel like im going to vomit) and when I lay down it feels like I have some trouble breathing almost like i m just not getting enough oxygen... and I believe the caffeine is keeping me from sleeping properly but I did not know if it was okay to mix melatonin supplements with these kinds of medications... I am miserable and have been cooped up for two days..... what do you recommend I do? THANKS SO MUCH! :)
