Hello Ladies,
I've been taking the Unisom + B6 for weeks now and I haven't stopped once. I started with the half tab of unisom + 50mg B6 once a day. Now I'm at 1 whole tab + 50mg B6.
I had one good week without nausea, but I still took it. I've read that if you skip a dose, the harsh MS comes back with a vengeance and takes a few days to go away again.
When did you stop or wean off of the combo? I'm feeling okay again at 11wks but I'm nervous it'll hit me like a ton of bricks again!

@MamaMoose: I find that when I take it at night after dinner, I get a huge wave of nausea and then wake up feeling better. Did this happen for you? Wondering if it's just my sensitive stomach trying to break down the medicine.

I always took it right before I got in bed so I was never awake long enough to feel any side effects.

@Ash: Have you tried not taking it one day or another to see how it affects you?

@wahine08: I ran out and sent DH to the store the next day and he bought the economy box... bahahaha! I never thought I'd make it through box #1, let alone break into an economy sized box!! I hope yours doesn't last as long as mine though.

Just an update on this - I tried to skip my Friday night dose and totally ruined my Saturday! It wasn't as terrible as my initial M/S but I definitely wasn't as comfortable and felt totally gross 
When I took my Saturday dose (I take it before bed) the next day I was so groggy. I took 2 naps! Going to have to try again in a week or so.

Trying tonight, though I'm going to break the unisom in half so I'm not the walking dead tomorrow. So hoping it helps!

@LovelyPlum: I started with the half tab as well. Definitely see if that works for you! I think I did a half tab for like 2 weeks and then kicked it up. It definitely helps my pregnancy insomnia as well. Those early weeks kept me anxious and awake all night!
