Hi Ladies,

 I'm ALMOST in the second tri and want to start tapering off my Unisom/B6 use.  If any of you have used it or are still using it, when did you try to taper with success? I tried a week or two ago and ended up feeling awful so stayed on the normal dosage.  Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I came off of it around 14 weeks because it was starting to give me massive middle-of-the-night and morning headaches and my nausea went away.  I now suffer from insomnia, but I'd rather have it than headaches!  I went cold turkey from 1/2 a unisom almost every night.

I tried but the vomiting came back. I asked the nurse if my body could become dependent...she said no, that every few days after the first tri to try skipping it and see what happens. She said her first pregnancy the ms stopped immediately after the first tri, but with her second it lasted the whole pregnancy. It's just luck...

I started trying to stop taking it around 17 or 18 weeks and still try once every week or two.  Every single time I miss a dose I am unable to function the next day. 

My SIL needed it for her entire pregnancy with her third and I am thinking that is how I will be as well.

I had to use Zofran (though tried Unisom for a while).  I started trying to go off it, on a weekend day when I knew I could handle feeling miserable, about week 14; but didn't actually start not taking it regularly until week 16.  And I will still have an occasional bout of MS, but it's about once a week now.
