Is it safe to take melatonin and serotonin supplements together??
Question: Im having problems with my sleepng patterns..i wake up in middle of night and eat( late night eating syndrome) so i was thinking that seratonin will suppress my appetiate and melatonin would put me to sleep ,also serotonin increases melatonin levels so is it ok to take these two supplement together or would that have an adverse effect since serotnin is converted into melatonin?
Answers: Well, there's a couple problems with that idea. After my initial shock of reading the topic, I did a search on Yahoo and I see why you're asking... there's a Serotonin pill that's being marketed as an appetite suppressant.
Personally, I think the product is a horrible idea since Serotonin levels regulate not only your sleep/wake cycles, but your mood among other things... not to mention that when you off-set one hormone in any significant amount, your body will push some of the other hormones off in order to attempt to re-balance your system. Needless to say, that could cause all sorts of havoc for many people.
If you take a Serotonin product AND a Melatonin, one of a few things will happen.
1) You'll pass out the whole night and might have trouble waking up early the next morning.
2) You'll have too much Serotonin in your system and you'll be wide awake all night.
3) Either one of those, accompanied by restlessness and/or moodiness (or worse) if you take those on a regular basis.
4) Or everything will work out perfectly as you are hoping.
If you are looking for the effect you mention, you would probably be better off taking a Melatonin and Hoodia Gordonii or some other herbal-based appetite suppressant
serotonin is an anti depressant
hoodia - don't bother it doesn't work!
no
If your having trouble sleeping, try combing melatonin (1-2 mg) with 25 mg of vitamin B-6 and 250 mg magnesium. Works for me like a charm.
i would try it but dont do it
