A member asked:
How often can i take doxylamine? if i took one and haven't fallen asleep after 8 hours, can i take another?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Once you take Doxylamine, you should be able to fall asleep within 30 min. But, once you take the medicine, don't start or get involved in any physical activity. You should be in a relaxed physically and mentally and be ready to go to bed. You might also try some relaxation techniques to help you sleep along with the medication. Don't take the medication too late either.
