Here's what my pharmacist said to do for morning (or all day) sickness. Buy a bottle of 25 mg B6 tablets and a pack of Unisom sleep aid. Don't get the extra strenght Unisom Gel tabs, they won't work.

Take a 25mg B6 tab three times a day in addition to your prenatal tablets. Vitamin B6 is water soluble, so you don't have to worry about overdosing like with vitamin A.

Take a Unisom tablet at night about a half hour before going to bed. Don't take it during the day unless you know you won't be driving anywhere, it will likely make you drowsy.

The next morning, and all the next day, you should feel fine. Continue taking your B6 tabs three times a day and take your next Unisom at night before going to bed.


Of course, if you are taking other medications ask a pharmacist or doctor if it's okay to take the Unisom with them.

I was really starting to have bad morning sickness. Puking several times a day. I took one tab of Unisom yesterday, and today I don't feel nauseated at all!

If you live in Canada, you can get a tab with the Doxylamine (the ingredient in Unisom) and B6 together. Look for something called "Dicletin."


From an ABC News report:

"The active ingredient in Unisom is Doxyclamine. Combine it with vitamin B6 and you have the ingredients of an anti-nausea drug, Bendectine. For years, hundreds of thousands of women took Bendectine to stop morning sickness because it worked.

But in the early 1980's, junk science lawsuits claimed Bendectine caused birth defects and forced it off the market. Since then, several in-depth studies show there was no basis for those birth-defect claims. And while Bendectine is no longer available, the ingredients contained in it are."
