I apologize, I neglect this site all the time. But here is a tip. Melatonin is going to interact with colchicine, so if you take colchicine as part of your treatment for Behcet's Disease, avoid taking Melatonin. It took me six months to figure this out, all the while suffering with chronic digestive tract issues. I stopped taking Melatonin when I went on vacation, and immediately, all my symptoms abated. I would rather spend a few nights tossing and turning, trying to fall asleep than to spend so much time with stomach cramps and diarrhea.
I made the big mistake of not talking to my doctor before adding a new substance to my medication routine. He probably could have advised me; or maybe not. Regardless, Melatonin made me quite sick, so I will avoid it in the future.
Just a tidbit of information, too.......my eyesight really got very bad in six months. My opthamologist couldn't believe it, so he tested me for diabetes, which I'm happy to report I do not have. Point is, I waited six months before telling my doctor that my vision was blurry, kept chalking it up to silly things, like my eyes are "tired". Don't do this. If you notice any change in your vision, get in and see your eye doctor immediately. We still don't know why my vision went so bad so quickly, but it was corrected with new glasses and I'm back to 20/20 vision. Sometimes I am SUCH a DOOFAS when it comes to my health.
