Melatonin 5mg with Gabapentin 150 mg
I have been taking Gabapentin 300 mg at night since 9 months and down to 150 mg now. I have sleep disturbances so on Melatonin 5 mg as well since 15 days. A week ago I got body aches and weakness all over my body. It took 3 days to resolve. Now after a week again I am having body pain. Is there any drug interaction between Gabapentin and Melatonin as I take them at the same time every day. Kindly advise

Sir,
I don't know for what melatonin was given to you, as it's for a specific type of insomnias
So please consult the doctor who gave you the medication to help you out with your issues.
