Hello, with the daily use of fluoxytin (20mg, morning), methylphenidate (20mg in the morning and 10mg in the evening) and pregabalin (75mg in the morning and 150mg in the evening) can I additionally use melatonin for sleep? (10mg)

In the context of ADHD, methylphenidate helps to concentrate but also to calm down, especially impulsivity, etc. But it is indeed recommended in the leaflet not to take it after 4 p.m.
methylphenidate for the night? It's a joke, after all, it's a psychostimulant drug that causes insomnia, if I were you, I would consult a psychiatrist and tell you about the problem of insomnia because it's very possible that it's because of the dosage of methylphenidate at night
Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant and in my opinion taking this drug at night is a misunderstanding.

Yes, you can. Melatonin does not have clinically relevant interactions that would make its combined use with other drugs. However, I recommend consulting your doctor to clarify what is causing insomnia and determine if there is a need to change the dosage. The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja In the available lists, I do not see a dose of 10 mg registered in the market as a drug. We wrote more about it here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/czym-roznia-sie-leki-od-suplementow The dose of 10mg is high and should not be used for a long time, maximum 2 months. It is worth investing in a drug tested for safety and effectiveness, e.g.: Melatonin Lek-Am 5 mg: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/47918/melatonina-lek-am-tabletki/apteki?pvid=98257#internetowe I also encourage you to inform your doctor about all medicines and dietary supplements used, which will allow you to choose a safe and effective pharmacotherapy.
