Unisom?

Has anyone take unisom to help with nausea and sleep?

Re: Unisom?

  • Yes. It's effective for me for nausea, but not for sleep. I take half a tab at night with a B6 supplement.

  • Yes my Doctor recommended it for me. I use it every once in awhile when I don't have to be up early the next day! It works too well for me! I could sleep for 2 days! Helps width nausea.
  • I swear by it!  I take it for nausea but it makes me pretty sleepy.  Here's my schedule:
    12.5 mg (1/2 tab) 1.5 hours before I get up for the day (usually around 6AM) + 50mg B6
    12.5 mg (1/2 tab) at noon + 50mg B6
    12.5 mg (1/2 tab) at 6PM (if I need it) + 50mg B6

    I hope that you find some relief!  The unisom works way better for me than the Zofran (although I do add a zofran if I'm having some break-through nausea).

  • Yes! I take a Unisom every night. It's made this pregnancy much more manageable than my first. It's very very safe. Make sure you get the doxylamine succinate formula.

  • It totally works for me too. I'm now trying to wean myself off it by taking 1/2 tablet. Would like to think I could soon manage without it but not sure I ever want to feel that sick again
  • I take it at night only. It doesn't keep me from waking up at night to go to the bathroom (probably a good thing!) but it does help me go right back to sleep instead of then being up all night. I took two the first night but was so groggy the next morning so now I take one and its the perfect amount. Love it! It's not habit forming (for me anyways) so I could take it or not and still fall asleep.
  • Thanks all ! Made me feel better about taking some!
