Since I am already on an anti depression, I dont want to add another one. I battle depression and this medication works well, so I hasitate to add anything else.
I might look into the malic acid though. Sounds interesting.

malic acid or malate is an amino acid found in apples and some with

It does need to be taken several hours before you get into bed. It knocks
you out.

I hesitate to add another prescription to the mix. I already take 6 meds a
day. plus eye drops as needed for allergies. I take melatonin to help me
fall asleep. That does help. The pain just gets to me some days. I also
use a hot pad at night when needed. What is malic acid?
