M/S question

So I am getting m/s at night (no throwing up, just really bad nausea).  It kept me up for a good part of the night last night.  I found a sheet from my OB's office last time that recommends taking vitamin B6 and a Unisom tablet at night to help with m/s.  Has anyone tried this and does it work?  I'm getting desperate.  I'm already drinking peppermint tea, gingerale and eating gingersnaps and nothing seems to help.

    My doctor also rec'd benadryl...I think just to knock you out.  I never tried the B6, but I know it worked for a lot of people.

    My doctor actually recommended green grapes.  And OMG did they work.  And ginger flavored things didn't work for me, I had to take straight ginger.

    i loved unisom and took it most of my pregnancy, even when i was on my zofran pump. i found that it worked as well as some of the prescription meds to take the edge off. do it, i hope you get some relief soon.

    the ONLY thing that helped me with m/s was lemon...lemons, lemon water, frozen lemon cups... etc

    I used some morning sickness tea and some ginger gum that helped a little. 

    I hope it goes away soon, it sucks.

    Lemons helped me too (I couldn't drink water without vomiting otherwise), along with a small amount of coke.  And pickles, lots of pickles.  I ate at least one spear about 30 min before each meal for about 5 weeks b/c for some reason it helped settle my stomach enough that I could get something down for dinner.  My M/S was the worst at night too - I ended up getting on Zofran b/c I just couldn't find anything that would consistently work.
    My diet during the worst time (about 5 wks) was so boring - I had potato everything for every meal.  Baked potato, potato soup, french fries, mashed potatoes.  And for breakfast I could only eat plain grits.  I couldn't eat veggies, chicken/turkey or anything sweet.  Oh, and the smell of ginger and peppermint still makes me sick to my stomach =(.
