FAQ's

Why doesn't Sleepinox have Melatonin?
Dr. David Mahjoubi noticed many of his patients using Melatonin woke up with morning grogginess, felt "cranky" the next day, and even had possible "short-lived" depression. Furthermore, while Melatonin is naturally occurring in the body, it is not a plant-based substance. Just as taking substances naturally occurring to the body may not be safe, e.g. Testosterone, there are not enough studies proving the safety of exogenous Melatonin.

Who is Dr. David Mahjoubi?
As a board-certified Anesthesiologist, Dr. Mahjoubi practices both Anesthesiology and is the medical director of two highly rated mood enhancement and pain management clinics in Southern California. The Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles & Orange County (www.ketaminehealing.com) uses Ketamine to effectively treat Depression, PTSD, Anxiety, and Chronic Pain and their concomitant insomnia.

Can I take Sleepinox if I have liver or kidney disease?
Please consult your primary care physician prior to using Sleepinox if your liver or kidney function is compromised.

Can I take Sleepinox if I've been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea?
This will depend on the extent to which you have OSA, other medications being taken, and the number of capsules of Sleepinox you need to fall asleep. This should be discussed with your diagnosing physician. Generally, assuming no other sedating medications are being taken, patients with sleep apnea are able to take at least two capsules without risk. If you are using other sleep supplements (over the counter or prescription strength) please consult your primary care doctor prior to using Sleepinox.

Is Sleepinox vegetarian?
Yes, we use vegan capsules to encapsulate the plant-based ingredients.

How do I know how many I should take?
Start by taking two capsules 30 minutes prior to bedtime. You may take another 1-2 capsules one hour later if you are not feeling relaxed. One capsule is usually not sufficient to induce sleep, but you may use one during the day for anxiety or relaxation.

What if Anxiety or PTSD are causing my insomnia?
Sleepinox capsules may be using during the day, or at night, to help with anxiety or the anxiety-related symptoms of PTSD. We also recommend consutling Dr. David at www.KetamineHealing.com if you are unable to adequately manage your anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

Can I take Sleepinox with alcohol?
We dont recommend taking sleepinox with alcohol, as the sedative effects of both can have a synergistic effect causing you to have respiratory compramise. One should note that alcohol will prevent the human brain from achieving adequate depths of sleep to feel well rested the next day. If you are having difficulty controlling your drinking of alcohol, please consult your primary care physician. Ketamine has also been know to significantly decrease craving for alcohol.
