That's commendable. Don't take anything until the problems interfere with normal daily functioning. I think there are several people here who take melatonin. Maybe one of them will chime in or you could search for threads on melatonin.
Good luck

Thanks!
It was Prozac 40mg and clonazepam .5mg.
I took both in the mornings. The Prozac made me edgy the first week or so but that was an improvement over depression. The clonazepam probably helped with the edginess and with sleeping. I was able to go back to work so I was very happy with the combination. I hope you can find something that works for you.
Thanks for this!
