OSA & Frequent urination during the night

Before I was diagnosed with OSA, I noticed that I woke up frequently with an urge to use the bathroom several times a night, sometimes 6-7 times a night. It was about two years of misery!

Re: Insomnia: Melatonin + 5-HTP + Tryptophan

I am not sure about the interaction of the medications you are talking about, but the best way to find out would be talking to a pharmacist. YOu can stop by and call the wallgreens and cvs maybe?

I was wondering i...
