> Interactions
> Melatonin should not be taken by people using certain antidepressants, such as Prozac (a serotonin inhibitor) or Nardil (a monoamine oxidase inhibitor). Interaction between melatonin and these types of antidepressants can cause a stroke or heart attack. Preliminary symptoms include confusion, sweating, shaking, fever, lack of coordination, elevated blood pressure, diarrhea, and convulsions.

Melatonin does interact with Fluvoxamine, due to inhibition of CYP1A2 or CYP2C9 liver enzymes.
Melatonin also interacts with nifedipine.
