lexapro and unisom

Ok so I have bipolar disorder and panic disorder and I take seraquel and lexapro. I am on medicaid now and I can't find a psychiatrist. I recently ran out of meds and found out that I am sleep dependent on the seraquel. My obgyn suggested unisom for sleep but its not helping!!! How much is safe to take? I want to know if I can take 2 since 1 doesnt work. Please help I haven't slept in days!!!

Hi I have been taking Unisom for years now and again. However, I started taking it all the time after some stress ( I took it 2 years solid). I started to get dizzy and then panic attacks, I though Unisom was causing it so I came off it with Valerian (a herb, really works). I slept okay but got very depressed, weird thoughts, awful feelings.The doctor put me on Lexapro (a week) which makes you very hyper so I took the Unisom for 2 nights as could not sleep.

I was so good for a while on my lexapro and wellbutrin...happily skipping through life. This past week has been really rough on my boyfriend and me (long story), and I find myself extremely down. I can't stop crying, and I wont' be able to sleep tonight. I even cut myself in the shower before to see if it would make me feel better. well, it was failure because a)I don't feel better and b)I did a really sloppy job cutting lol.

My doctor had me on 1 pill of each every night and then 1 b6 in the morning. Some nights I would skip the unisom if I had to be up early and the b6 did not work by itself a for me.

I have a bottle of Unisom and the ingredient states it contains Diphenhydramine (An Antihistamine) not Doxylamine.

My Dr recommended using over the counter unisom tabs and they definitely help me. At almost 26 weeks I can already never get comfortable..

I know that I was in the hospital, for kidney stones when I was pregnant with my daughter and one night they asked if I needed help sleeping and I said yes and they gave me Ambien....I didn't think about it until after I had taken it and I was like what?! a sleep-aid?! and then I was asleep and didn't budge until the next morning, lol. I know of at least 2 other women that were prescribed Ambien during pregnancy for OCCASIONAL sleepless nights...maybe you could look into that?

its best to take them right before you go to bed..like..25-30 mins..it works like a charm...i still take them every now and then..and im 39 weeks..baby will be fine..

I do not take any drugs whatsoever. I do take unisom and walsom generic walgreens. I had a urine test for a clinical trial study and the results showed up for ativan or xanax as a false positive. My dr said this is common with unisom. So yes it can show up. If they are sending off to lab it will show it was a false positive.

My Dr. said to take Unisom to help relieve some of the nausea. I have been really sick. Very close to going to hospital. I am on Zofran, Prima Bella and B6. I have not slept in weeks. Dr. Suggested 1/2 of one. Does it really help? I need to sleep and feel well, my whole family is suffering.

Unisom is safe to take during pregnancy-it is actually recommended in combination with B6 for nausea and vomiting!

Other than unisom you can take benadryl or any of a number of antinausea meds you can take 1/2 of one and see if it helps you sleep and if it doesn't you can try 1 as long as your dr ok's it. talk to your dr about phenergan for nausea. You can also get phenergan suppositories if you can't physically keep the med down. B6 never worked for me, if you can't take your vitamins try flinstones gummies, they're better than nothing.

I've had the worse insomnia. My dr prescribed unisom to help me and although it's doctor prescribed I still get paranoid about taking medication. Has anyone taking this as a sleep aid during pregnancy and had any crazy safe effects, issues or complications???

Hi and hope you sleep well. Just don't make a habit of taking unisom to fall asleep, as it is an antihistamine it can cause dryness of the throat and with long term use you may develop tolerance. Regards.

No on the Unisom...I used benadryl (diphenhydramine) , melatonin, and sleepytime tea (celestial seasonings) and had pretty good luck. Some advocate Valerian root and Kava Kava for the herb store....

Anyone take unisom for morning sickness? I called my dr because I've been so sick and need something to help. She said she wanted me to try the unisom before she calls in a script. Anyone have any luck with it?

so I started taking unisom and B6 for n/v per my ob gyn. It seems to work so far but I am really sensitive to meds and half a unisom tab is making is so tired. Anyone have success controlling the nausea with a fourth of the tablet?

Hello. It's my first pregnancy and I'm at the beginning of 11 weeks. I've been getting worse and worse nausea and vomiting by the day. I can't sleep at night, now I've lost my appetite, and all I do is vomit or feel nausea. It's so bad I've had to leave work. Is anyone else going through the same morning sickness/sleep and eating problems? My friend is due a day before me and she hasn't even vomited once.

Having horrible time sleeping, doctor recommended unisom... I go to bed at normal time and wake up around midnight and can't sleep, I've tried staying up later being more active etc I always wake up which means I'm always exhausted. 22 weeks preggo.

m 13 weeks and my Dr has me taking vitamin b6 and a half a unisom tab for my nausea and it knocks me right out.

told me I could take half a Unisom and vitamin B6 for nausea. I have also taken a whole Unisom on two occasions when I was desperate for sleep.

t taken melatonin while pregnant, but you can take unisom (diphenhydramine is the active ingredient and it is safe), tylenol pm, or benadryl for insomnia. I took unisom with my zofran because it was the only combination that worked for my hyperemesis, and it helped me sleep.

Yes I've heard the vitamin b6 and unisom help and it did. Just wondering if it worked for some and then stopped working?

My boyfriend sleeps on the couch now because my constant tossing and turning annoys him. Any suggestions on how to get to sleep and stay asleep would be greatly appreciated!

He was born perfectly fine. had apgars of 8 and9 and only needed a little blowby oxygen even tho he was a preemie and had 3 holes in his heart (related to down syndrome). but make sure to ask your dr!
