B6 and Unisom for morning sickness

b.heatherb.heather member
in 1st Trimester

Is anyone using B6 and Unisom for morning sickness? I'm desparate and have read that it works and is safe. Just curious if anyone else has tried it.

I read online to take anywhere between 25mg and 50 mg of B6, and of course our Walgreens only carries 100 mg so I'm thinking of just splitting the pills. If you use B6, how much and how often?

    I have heard of the B6 working.  I am sticking to Cinnamon gum... that seems to be the one thing that keeps my stomach feeling calm.

    Last time around I took half a Unisom and 50 mg of B6 every night before bed. It was a lifesaver. I haven't needed it yet but I'm ready if I do!

    I take 25 mg of B6 and 1/2 unisom every night.  I also have an rx for zofran that I take sometimes during the day.  I found B6 in 50 mg at cvs and I cut them in half....and yes it does work!!!

    In Canada, we commonly use a prescription drug called Diclectin.  Google it - it's just Unisom and B6 in prescription form.  I'm sure you can find the dose per pill.  It's generally prescribed one pill four times a day.

    50mg B6 2X a day and 1/2 unisom at night.

    It helps, but there are some days when NOTHING works Sad

    I just started taking 50mg of B6 and 1/2 tab (12.5mg) of unisom sleeptab. I can't believe how good it works! I have noticed that I have loose stools in the a.m. since starting it (sorry, tmi!!). I'm also not crazy about the sleeping pill "grogginess" but its definitely better than morning sickness all day!

    Thank you so much everyone! I feel like I suffered needlessly with my first pregnancy and am really hopeful this will help this time around!
