No experience as to whether they interact or not, sorry. You can buy Melatonin 3mg from iherb.com

Try phenergan tablets. They are herbal and do the trick for me. You can buy at chemists. I also take my pred as soon as I wake u melatonin did not work for me. Hope this helps x

Melatonin is often best tried at the lowest dose. It can make you sleepy the next day. There is a slow release variety which helps if you wake up during the night.
