I used to take seroquel as sleep aid. About three months ago I replaced seroquel with melatonin. Now my eyes got a problem. They are too dry and it affects vision. I googled melatonin and dry eyes and found that a lot of people had complained about it.
Do you take melatonin regularly before bed? Have you got eye issues from it ?
I have dry eyes and dry mouth, at night I have difficulty opening my eyes and my throat whenever I wake up it scares me. In my case its the risperidone.
This is not a common side effect for melatonin. However, depending on the formulation, the excipients may be the culprits of unexpected side effects. You may want to look at the bottle with your pharmacist to determine if this is a possibility. You may be able to try a lower dose or a different brand of melatonin.
