Sleep Aid alternative to Ambien?

lactyfiregirl · September 2009

I had been taking ambien from time to time for insomnia, and I completely forgot to ask the doctor for any alternatives? Is there any? I believe Tylenol is ok to take, so how about Tylenol PM?

Tylenol PM is on my OBs list of approved medicines.

Tylenol PM and Benedryl are both OK to take according to all of the lists I have seen.

Thanks, I figured because Tylenol was ok. Did they give any limitations? The bottle says 2 capsules? I am going to call in the morning to get the results of my HCG levels I had drawn today, and I guess I can also ask them then.

I've read that you can take unisom.

I slowly starting weening myself off of Ambien , Lunesta etc when I knew I was TTC. I actually found that Tylenol Sleepytime did a better job then Tylenol PM. My OB also said that sleepytime was a little better, but he advised not to take it everynight if I could avoid it.

Unisom,by far is the best one out there. I feel much less groggy with it than I do with Ambien or Tylenol PM

I take Ambien too and my Dr. told me tht I could continue to take that sparingly (sp). I just cut my dose in half. Also, you can take benedryl, and tylenol pm.
