[quote=Anonymous]I have not had bad enough nausea to ask for the Zofran, but OP asked about Unisom. For people who might search this later I'll add some info since Unisom is working for my milder queasiness.

Unisom under that brand name comes in 2 chemical formulations. The tablets (not gel caps) is doxylamine. That is the same ingredient that when mixed with vitamin B6 was marketed as Benedictine. It was taken off the market and was recently approved by the FDA to go back on the market in June 2013 under the name Diclegis.

Unisom is also the same chemical as Benedryl which is on Reiter Hill's and Shady Grove's safe list for 1st trimester drugs. I was initially reluctant to take it, but today on my release papers from Shady Grove they actually suggest it.

I have been taking 12.5mg of Unisom and 1/2 a B6 tab each night and it is taking the edge off my sickness so I can function. I had a hard time finding non-gel Unisom in a local drug store, so I got 2 bottles of Kirkland brand on Amazon for $5 or so. [/quote]
