A member asked:
I have been taking doxylamine for 14 years nightly for insomnia that started during pregnancy. what are the ramifications, if any?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doxylamine safety: Doxylamine is used to treat sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, hives, skin rash, itching, and other cold or allergy symptoms. Let the wise woman within you ask-what are you using it for, and your reasons to continue for 14 years? See your Physician for Glaucoma, problems with urination, Asthma, Bronchitis, Emphysema, or other Chronic Lung disease; and discuss safety of Doxylamine.
