Just start with small doses of melatonin if your worried about interactions. Melatonin doses have to be carefully adjusted in any case, in order to avoid oversleeping and daytime drowsiness.
Melatonin is very much unlike 5-HTP, which is rapidly decarboxylated into serotonin (5-HT). 5-HTP is the most direct (and hence rapid) precursor of serotonin - melatonin is not.
