DEAR DR. GOTT: I am having trouble falling asleep. My medications include Sinemet, Levoxyl, Wellbutrin, Actonel and Valium. My supplements are grapeseed extract, omega-3 fish oil, COQ10, and vitamins C, D and B-50. I would like to try melatonin to solve my sleep problem. Would it be compatible with my medications? I also have Parkinson's disease but feel it is unrelated.
