Starting new meds .... Wondering about Melatonin

[Teri]

Hi folks,

 

We have just added in Rifampin to Dd 6 medication list. She is PANDAS/Lyme/Bartonella and is also on Azithromycin, Omnicef, & Lamisil. I am starting off slowly as we are also suppose to add in Nystatin 2x per day. My concern is that Dd take .25 of a chewable Melatonin each night. If not, she has a very difficult time falling asleep. We forgot to put that on Dr. Jones' packet - and hope that it is ok to take. She also takes a chewable probiotic daily. I would think it is ok to take but I am having a mini panic about it now that we are heading towards evening.

 

I always forget about the Melatonin bc it has been essential to Dd getting a normal night's sleep.

 

Any words of wisdom is much appreciated.

 

Thx,

 

Teri

They all sound okay to me. Is the doc checking her liver enzymes? Also, here is a drug interaction checker so you can run each of her meds through it now and in the future .

i am sorry i don't know much about interactions. our dd9 has been taking 1.5mg for a while now and it helps her.
