I'm taking a herbal pill that has 4mg of Melatonin in it. I'm wanting to know if that's too much Melatonin to be taking every night?

PEOPLE'S PHARMACY RESPONSE: THAT IS MANY TIMES MORE MELATONIN THAN OUR BODIES MAKE. WE USUALLY SUGGEST BREAKING SUCH A PILL INTO AT LEAST TWO, BETTER YET FOUR, PIECES.

I take Cymbalta 60mg for both arthritis and depression. At night when I am less active, arthritic pain is more acute. I have tried taking acetaminophen extended release, 650 mg tablets. Generally, this is the only time I take any pain reliever but it seems even harder to sleep or to stay asleep. Is there an ingredient in this acetaminophen that would keep enhance the sleeplessness effect of the cymbalta?
