diclegis withdrawal ?

Question

Hi ladies! I'm overdue and I had been taking diclegis since around 6 weeks of pregnancy. I just ran out of my prescription and am being induced in Monday so I thought I'd stop taking it all together since I'm about to deliver anyway.  The problem is, ever since I've stopped taking diclegis I've had HORRIBLE headaches. Has this happened to anyone else? I can't wean myself off because I have no more pills and don't want to fill my perscription of 90 pills if I'm giving birth next week. How long will my headaches last? They're horrible 😩

Answer

Hey!! I took diclegis and have switched to b6/ unisom.

Answer

All I know is that Diclegis is just a mix of vitamin B6 and an antihistamine. So maybe if you buy these at a pharmacy you can ween yourself off them? Or basically just the antihistamine, B6 is good for you!

Answer

Diclegis should not be abrubtly stopped you have to tapper off this medication. You may have to get the prescription to tapper off and you may still need it after the birth for few weeks.
