Unisom. It says take one but...?!
Question: I took one Unisom [Diphenhydramine HCI 50mg] about two and a half hours ago and nothing happened. I am still wide awake! Should I take one more? What about two? And...
What about tomorrow night? Should I take 2 right away? I'm really annoyed with not being able to sleep!
I know I need to go see my doctor soon, but I need something that will help until then.
Thank you in advance for your advice!

Caution with things like diphenhydramine! I just went through a horrible time of insomnia a while back. Melatonin is a good thing to use and natural. I've used it with good luck. Follow the directions on the bottle for taking the right dosage and don't take more than it says. That can make matters worse. Try drinking some camomile tea, take a hot bubble bath, drink some warm milk with honey in it. Another thing I've taken is valerian root. That's an herb. It's very effective if you can get it past your nose. It's rather pungent. It comes in capsules and you can get it at any pharmacy/health food store. Just plug your nose and swallow. It really does work. Good luck to you.
be careful...there are probably other issues to your sleeplessness. tell your Dr.
I don't know how old you are, but another won't hurt, those are weak meds. I have taken, Ambien, since 1999 & they still work great. Do you try reading or watching TV to fall asleep to?
