I would not take 5-htp and melatonin at the same time.
Believe it or not, they oppose each other, biochemically. 5-htp can increase melatonin production, but typically if administered in the mid day.
Normal rhythms involve high serotonin mid day (low melatonin) and high melatonin at night (low serotonin).
This is why antiserotonergics promote sleep and increase melatonin levels.
