A member asked:

10 wks pregnant doc gave me unisom for nausea which makes me very sleepy. i sleep for 16-17 hrs/day. is it healthy for fetus? please sugest alternativ

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Morning sickness: I often have my patients take 1/2 or even 1/4 of a pill with vitamin b6. This causes less drowsiness. If it still makes you this drowsy you should take to your doctor about other things, it is nor unhealthy to sleep, you just don't get anything done.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
