Is melatonin safe for CMT?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Somewhere I read that muscle relaxants aren't good for people with CMT.

I was wondering if anyone knew if melatonin is a muscle relaxant, and if

it would be harmful. I recently discovered the over the counter sleep

aid called " MidNite " , which contains mostly melatonin. It is supposed to

be non- habit forming and help you wake up fully alert. I've only tried

it a few times, but I end up being tired the whole next day. I don't

know if that's because I don't take it until 12am or so, and end up with

only about 4-6 hours of sleep. Maybe I should just take it at 9pm. Has

anyone else had experience with melatonin, and is it harmful for CMT?

Thanks,

Lori
