Are you on anything for nausea yet?

[mrssqueegy]

I see my OB on Thursday.  I think I'm going to ask about Diclectin/Diclegis.  I've never had to take it before.

If you've taken it before or are taking it now, did it make you super sleepy?  I'm concerned about this because of the job that I do that requires me to not be sleepy.

Doxylamine only makes me sleepy if I'm already exhausted. Otherwise it doesn't really do anything to my energy level. I've never taken diclectin, though, so I don't know how different it would be.

But everyone reacts differently to meds like that. You could always get it and try on a day you don't have to work or something if you're worried about it.

Is zofran an option? I took that with DD when I had a stomach bug and it worked really well.

mrssqueegy I took a combo of 1/2 unisom + b6 during my pregnancy with DD...it was before diclegis was approved in the US. It worked so well and it did not make me sleepy at all. With my last pregnancy I took diclegis and I found that it didn't make me sleepy but it didn't work as well for some reason.

Either way I say try it...it can't hurt and hopefully will help.

That's so weird that one worked better than the other.  Isn't Diclegis just unisom and B6?  I need to look it up.

I'll use zofran as a last resort.  It's not supposed to be used as a first line treatment for nausea in pregnancy so I'm going to start with Diclegis for now and see how that goes.

Yea it's the same thing which is weird but I think it's probably just because I was at different points in my pregnancy...or else I remember the first time as a miracle drug and it actually wasn't.
