I don't know f this applies to anybody but I found a website that discusses interaction of melatonin with antidepressants. Basically that if you take melatonin it could decrease the effectiveness of a antidepressant.

Where is everyone getting the Renew vitamins? I saw a website with a picture of them, but its just a front page and says "coming soon". I loved the good days and good nights (I think they were called) vitamins available at grocery store a few years ago, but it doesn't seem like those are still around.

It would be great to try these new ones! I just can't figure out where to buy.

mosaic: Thanks for the article about melatonin ! :)

I don't trust asking a pharmacist about over the counter medications and interactions. :?
My mom asked her pharmacist recently about an over the counter medication and the
pharmacist said it would be okay for my mom to take the over the counter medication.Not true ! :shock:
My mom has heart problems and the over the counter medication may have affected her
pulse and blood pressure. My mom even gave the pharmacist a list of the prescription
medications that she was currently taking.

My advice to all: don't ask your pharmacist about drug interactions.
