No, I wasn't actually on Diclegis, just unisom/B6. But I'm still nursing my 13 mo old so I only wanted to take the unisom right after I nursed him at night (and wouldn't be nursing again until 11-12 hr later)</p> <p>The good news is I am FIIIIIINALLY starting to feel better (I'm almost 17 weeks! So it's about time. Haha) Still taking B6/Unisom at night because that's when I start feeling nauseous..but hopefully that will be getting better soon too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-become-resistant-to-diclegis#post-2768957 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 12:10:23 +0000 catlady 2768957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like you're not actually on Diclegis? Maybe you need the unisom early in the day as well. B6 alone did nothing for me. I never bothered with the B6/unisom combo but Diclegis (prescription) worked wonders for me.</p> <p>Also, morning sickness totally comes and goes, especially around that time. Hopefully you will soon be over the worst of it anyway. I stayed on Diclegis until 16 weeks and then I was fine.</p> <p>Edited: Just realized this post is already 3 weeks old so I hope you are feeling better by now. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-become-resistant-to-diclegis#post-2768956 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 12:07:31 +0000 periwinklebee 2768956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was on diclegis and like @2littlepumpkins: found that my nausea got worse around 12 weeks, which was the only point where I had trouble keeping down liquids. I thought I was going to be sick the entire pregnancy, but it got much better around the start of the second tri and I was finally able to stop diclegis around 18 weeks. I normally took under the max dose and only took the max dose when I had work events for which I couldn't be sick. I think it did help when I was on the max dose, though I still felt ick. I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-become-resistant-to-diclegis#post-2768955 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 11:57:05 +0000 BSB 2768955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bees_knees: It's possible you need something stronger than diclegis. Maybe your nausea is worse. </p> <p>I had HG (severe nausea) and the act of taking a pill would make me throw up even more. I couldn't take any pills at a point. I also was throwing up water and had to be hospitalized twice. They were able to give me a bunch of drugs and the pharmacy could tweak it if I needed something specialized. I ended up trying a bunch of things but I was on the patch behind the ear until 24 weeks pregnant with my twins. Let's hope you don't have HG. I was miserable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-become-resistant-to-diclegis#post-2761893 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 07:14:20 +0000 Banana330 2761893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bees_knees: I always take the full dose in the early weeks ( one in morning, one at lunch and two at bedtime). I'm 34weeks and still taking two at bedtime. I definitely feel worse if I don't take it.. usually I still fee nauseous but stop puking with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-become-resistant-to-diclegis#post-2761861 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 22:58:32 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2761861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I became resistant but I was surprised when between weeks 10-12/13 I had worse nausea instead of better. I had gone down a bit and during that time took the max dose of 4 diclegis/day, which helped, but I still felt mostly like crap most of the day. Hope it passes soon for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-become-resistant-to-diclegis#post-2761855 Tue, 25 Jul 2017 22:16:55 +0000 bees_knees 2761855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been taking B6/Unisom since my raging nausea started at about 6 weeks pregnant. I'm not sure it ever truly helped (I have been nauseous 24/7 despite the medication) but I started to feel minutely better weeks 11/12...I'm 13 weeks tomorrow and I. Feel. Like. Garbage. It seems like the B6/unisom is doing NOTHING now. Do you think my body just acclimated and I should up my dose? I currently take 50 mg B6 at 2 pm, and 50 mg B6/1 unisom at bedtime. (I experiment with taking 25 mg B6 in the morning and 25 mg at noon, but a double dose in the afternoon seemed to help the most)</p> <p>Basically all of this to say: did you end up having to increase your Diclegis dose even at the end of the first trimester? Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to be growing a seemingly healthy baby...but I'm so sick of being sick! </p>
