Question: Unisom & B6 for nausea while NOT pregnant?
I have been using unisom and B6 for my morning sickness and It has worked wonders. I am wondering if my husband who has been vomiting all day should try to get some relief from this remedy or is it just for pregnancy nausea?

There are probably other things he can take, such as gravol or dramamine if you have that. Unisom is really a medication to treat insomnia so it could cause drowsiness. Here is some of the information about it from drugs.com:

Some medical conditions may interact with Unisom. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, emphysema, lung disease, shortness of breath, or sleep apnea
if you have blockage of the stomach, intestine, or urinary tract; difficulty urinating; diabetes; ulcers; enlargement of the prostate; glaucoma; heart disease; high blood pressure; porphyria; or thyroid disease
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Unisom. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

Sodium oxybate (GHB) because an increase in sleep duration and a decrease in the ability to breathe are likely to occur
Furazolidone or MAO inhibitors (eg, phenelzine) because serious side effects, such as high blood pressure and seizures, may occur
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Unisom may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
