Then my body adjusted and it didn't make me any more drowsy than normal pregnancy would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751885 Mon, 26 Jun 2017 00:28:57 +0000 BSB 2751885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know. I know I was super tired from making two babies but I don't know if the pills made it worse. I ended up with HG so when I started on this med, my HG was just about to get worse. Two hospital visits and 3-5 day stay for each and having the pharmacy tinker with my medicines is what helped me. I think getting sick after taking pills doesn't give me any positive thoughts of that short period 5-24 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751594 Sat, 24 Jun 2017 01:17:00 +0000 Coral 2751594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Initially but I got used to it. It was worth it, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751570 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 22:19:02 +0000 Mamatimes3 2751570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only at first - then my body got used to it. It was a lifesaver. It made morning sickness manageable in the beginning and totally controlled it for the rest of the pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751560 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 21:19:09 +0000 travellingbee 2751560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I switched to zofran. I am really sensitive to medicine though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751535 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 20:01:03 +0000 Mae 2751535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I honestly don't know! At first I thought it did, because my exhaustion really ramped up after I started taking it and I felt basically non-functional. But I couldn't bear to be without it so I stuck with it. The exhaustion largely lifted around 12 weeks. I was just finally able to come off of diclegis just last week at 25 weeks, and I've noticed no difference in tiredness/energy. So now I sort of feel like maybe I was just tired because I was pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751527 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 19:38:20 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2751527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And I would like to add that I thought this medication was a lifesaver! It helped me so so much and was so much better than taking Zofran like I did with my first two pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751526 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 19:37:52 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2751526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I took one in the morning and two in the evening. I guess I did sleep better when I was taking them at night, so that would make sense… But when I would take one in the morning I always felt totally normal at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751523 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 19:29:47 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2751523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted no but I didn't take dicelgis, I just took 50mg b6/half a unisom at night. It helped me a lot. I wasn't particularly drowsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751520 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 19:27:56 +0000 avivoca 2751520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but it was better than being so nauseated that I couldn't function. I just took the one pill st night and that helped me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751507 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 19:06:27 +0000 Banana330 2751507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes, but my body adjusted after a few weeks. The first three-four days I was super tired but it got better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751506 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 18:55:07 +0000 StrawberryBee 2751506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I constantly battled between being nauseous and feeling comatose at work. I couldn't decide which was more debilitating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751498 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 17:20:14 +0000 Meowkers 2751498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snarkybiochemist: good advice. Thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751496 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 17:04:32 +0000 snarkybiochemist 2751496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and because of this I only took 1 pill at night instead of increasing the dose, so my nausea didn't completely go away but at least I could function. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751495 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 16:57:41 +0000 Meowkers 2751495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: Oye. That's not encouraging. I'm going to be trying it for the first time tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751435 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 14:50:33 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2751435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I adjusted to it I think. I can't be sure how much is just regular first trimester exhaustion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751424 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 14:35:55 +0000 LBee 2751424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. On top of pregnancy exhaustion I pretty much couldn't function. After talking to the nurse line at my OB, I switched to just the max dose of straight B6. It stopped my vomiting (I was vomiting multiple times a day) and took a good deal of the edge off my nausea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-diclegis-make-you-drowsy#post-2751423 Fri, 23 Jun 2017 14:34:22 +0000 Meowkers 2751423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just what the title says. </p>
