Hello madam, thank you for your question!
Yes, the 2 are compatible.
In most cases, it is the sleep hygiene that needs to be adjusted, and the following good sleep habits should be tried
  • Manage stress better: relaxation, meditation, writing in a journal, psychotherapy
  • Get up at the same time every day, no matter what time you go to bed
  • Avoid naps during the day
  • Reduce coffee consumption (especially if more than one cup per day)
  • Avoid taking other stimulants (such as some cold medications and others)
  • Exercise every day if possible, but not in the evening
  • Avoid eating too close to bedtime
  • 1 hour before bedtime, turn off all screens: TV, computer, phone. Read a book, newspaper or magazine instead
  • Do not work, read or watch TV in bed: the bedroom should only be used for sleeping and intimate activities. This way, your body will associate the bedroom with sleep only
  • Avoid looking at the clock at night because it can increase stress
  • If you have a lot of worries, write them down in a notebook or journal at night before bedtime, it can "reassure" you that you can tackle them the next day :)
It can take 2-3 weeks to change a single habit, so try these gradually.
I hope I've been helpful, and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions!

Is it possible to take Cooldown of ATP with citalopram?
Naji-tom Samaha · 2 years ago
I did not find any problems between the ingredients of this product and citalopram, but I would not recommend taking it if you ever decide to take melatonin

i had a hesitation given this ingredient Phellodendron amurense (Cortex Phellodendri Amurensis ®Relora )...

Some of these ingredients can cause drowsiness and are central nervous system depressants, as is melatonin. For this reason in particular, it is recommended not to combine them.

And with citalopram no risk?
