hey all,
i know most of you 1st rimester moms are so tired all the time but i have the opposite problem. i can't sleep. here is wgat i'm on...8 mg of zofran 3x/day by mouth and 1x/day through IV (for a total of 32mg/day) i take colace for the terrible constipation. i try to take unisom/b6 but often unable to keep it down. the unisom does n't make me sleepy at all. i also get 1000ml of fluid via IV/day. last sat. night i didn't sleep at all all noght. i had been sleeping for a few hours a night before then but sat. i didn't even dose off for a minute. so i called my OB on monday and told him that i think the zofran is what is giving me the insomnia and that it is unbarable. my only relief it sleep and the days are long enough. he gave me 7 days worth of ambien, a sleeping pill. it work great the first 2 nights and hasn't worked for the past 3 nights. i am sleeping only about 5 hours total a night with tossing and turning. this is torture. i tried lowering my zofran dose and i paid for 2 days because i missed 1 dose.
anyone else ever had this problem? what should i do? i feel so stuck. i can't go off zofran but i can't take the insomnia. oh yeah, and my dr. didn't think the insomnia was from the zofran, i do. has anyone else heard of this as a side effect?
thanks,
