ModerateDietary supplements, plant adaptogens (local classification)×Hypnotics. Melatonin receptor agonists
Updated · Methodology
Mechanism
Both are taken at night and for the same reason, so they end up in the same regimen easily. Ashwagandha has sedative activity of its own and melatonin advances sleep onset; together, next-morning residual drowsiness exceeds either one alone.
Symptoms
Morning drowsiness, a foggy head, slower reactions at the wheel. In older people, a higher risk of falling when getting up at night.
Management
Try one thing at a time for two weeks before adding the other: one is almost always enough. If both are kept, start with the lower melatonin dose and avoid early-morning driving until tolerance is clear.
Check the full regimen, not just this pair
Opens the checker with these two drugs prefilled. Add the rest of the regimen and recompute additive risks.
