> I can't answer your question about the serotonin syndrome, but you might want to add sustained-release melatonin to your combo. This study combined 15 mg of buspirone with 3 mg of sustained-release melatonin. Alone, neither had any antidepressant-like action, but combined, they were very effective.
That's a great idea. It was nice of you to provide the studies.
The effectiveness of melatonin in treating insomnia is dependent upon how it is dosed (dosage and timing). It might be this way for depression and anxiety as well. As an example, some people with insomnia do best when melatonin is given early in the day rather than late in the day. With melatonin, timing is everything. There are several biological clocks. They need to be aligned properly for things to work properly.
