Lortab completely eliminates my back pain. But it also keeps me awake all night long. Is it safe to also take a sleep aid? If so, which one?
Can I take a sleep aid while taking Lortab?

Hi you should be safe taking Melatonin with Lortab. It may take a little while to take full effect, but it is safe to take long term and can be very effective. I have used this medication as have many people on this site. You must follow the instructions, for example, keeping your bedroom totally dark, the Melatonin will work better this way...
