Question 1

is it safe to take unisom when you also take topamax (topiramate)? i really need a good night of sleep.  very worried about someting and can't sleep well.

Accepted Answer

It is safe: There is no drug interactions and Topamax (topiramate) has sedation side effect. Make sure your bedroom is a quiet, dark, and relaxing environment, which is neither too hot or too cold. Take care.

Question 2

13 weeks pregnant. i can't sleep through the night. is it safe to take unisom?

Accepted Answer

Unisom: When using meds in pregnancy, we need to know the fda pregnancy category.  Category a means there are studies or know history of pregnant women on the drug and no problems with the baby-but this category is rare as no one does studies on pregnant women, so the next best is studies in pregnant mammal animals, that show no problem (cat b), ..Unisom is safe to take. It is a category b.  Discuss w gyn!

Question 3

last night taking 1 unisom didn't help. i really need to get sleep tonight. is it safe to take 2 unisom just this once? will it help?

Accepted Answer

It's not: Unidom is nothing more than Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and you will regret the hangover tomorrow.  You can try other more safe things like melatonin, sleepy time tea, or challenging  yourself to reading a long chapter in a tedious book.  A routine of exercise will help in making sleep easy. Also no noise or lights or electronics- and make your room cool= sleep hygiene. Take care.

Question 4

is it safe to use unisom sleeping pills every night?

Accepted Answer

Unisom: Not sure of your age or other medications taken along with these two. Best to consult your physician who prescribed them.

Question 5

is it safe to take unisom and tramadol at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: The combination can increase the risk of CNS depression & psychomotor impairment. Tramadol alone should be adequate to relieve discomfort as well as allow you to sleep.

Question 6

is it safe to take unisom natural nights nightime sleeptabs while on warfarin? thank you

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no interaction between the two drugs.

Question 7

is it safe to take unisom with suboxone if it has been hours since last dose? suboxone gives me mild insomnia.

Accepted Answer

Suboxone long acting: Because of the long acting nature of Suboxone, hours since last dose doesn't mean it is all that much lower level in your system.  But as long as Suboxone is taken in the prescribed dose and Unisom in the recommended dose, it should be safe.  In my experience about one patient in three experiences insomnia if Suboxone is taken late in the day.  For them early in the day dosing can help  a lot.

Question 8

is it safe to take unisom with lortab and paxil (paroxetine)? (it will have been 3 hours since the last lortab and 8 since paxil (paroxetine))

Accepted Answer

Should be okay: It should be okay since the last lortab dose is over 3 hours ago.

Question 9

is it safe to take unisom for sleep if i take 50mg vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) in the daytime. i have never been a good "sleeper" but i'm trying to get more rest.

Accepted Answer

Unisom SleepTabs: contain doxylamine and unisom SleepGels contain diphenhydramine. They are antihistamines that can make people sleepy. They are safe to use with Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). It can lose its effect over time in some people if used regularly. Sleep hygiene includes an array of measures that can help with sleep and may negate the need for sleep medications. Best regards for relief.

Question 10

is it safe to take unisom (doxylamine succinate) throughout pregnancy? i'm 19 weeks and have awful morning sickness, this is all that seems to help.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Unisom is considered safe in pregnancy. You might also try ginger and the acupressure bands used for sea sickness. Best wishes to you and the baby.
