I'm ready for some unisom

in 3rd Trimester
Anyone else taking this and it's helping? I'm exhausted. I tried taking 2 Tylenol PM last night and then didnt do anything. Is it worth calling my dr and asking for a prescription or should I just tough it out?

    You get Unisom OTC, I get the Walmart Equate brand. 

    I took it during late 1st and early 2nd with my morning sickness, and just recently started taking it again as needed. For me, it doesn't really "knock me out" - but once I do fall asleep, I sleep a lot heavier and wake up really groggy so if I wake up in the middle of the night to pee or adjust I can fall back asleep so much easier than if I wasn't on meds (usually when I haven't taken anything and wake up, I have a hard time going back to bed). It only lasts about 8-9 hours in my system too, so it doesn't make me a walking zombie for the whole next day like some of the stronger meds out there.

    Oh and my doctor said it was totally fine to take as needed in 3rd trimester - I try to limit it to only when I really really need to though.

    My doc gave me a prescription for ambien, works like a charm.

    Yep!

    They have it in a few forms - pill, gel caps and dissolving melts. I was told to get the pill form (it only has 25mg of the medicine as opposed to the gel form which has 50mg).
