Diclegis, anyone?

Question

So it's my first pregnancy and I was extremely nauseous almost my entire first trimester and my Dr prescribed me diclegis. It def helped take the edge off and I only threw up about once a day/every other day instead of being nauseated ALL day every day. Since I've hit week 14, I am starting to feel better-- nausea fading, energy returning, so am trying to wean myself off of the medicine but the 2 times I've tried to stop I have gotten really sick all over again. Any ladies out there taken and stopped Diclegis? Any weaning suggestions?

Answer

Yeesss!! Im a lil over 14 weeks to and Like you just starting to feel better...I thought about 4 weeks ago I was okay to just start taking 1 a night (been only taking 2 a night, wasnt maxing out at 4) and then i stopped completly! And just threw up twice after trying to stop... i just wasnt ready and still had bad morning sickness i guess....I finally stopped fully about a week ago...i still gag atleast 20
times a day but not throwing up....i would slowly start getting off if you feel better...

Answer

Try taking the "homemade" version, which is a Unisom sleeping pill and a B6 tablet. I've never used the real Diclegis but have only taken this combo at night. It really helps. And both of those are also safe for pregnancy.

Answer

I am on it as well.  I pretty much told my doctor the same thing about trying to wean myself off today & he said no need to, keep taking it this pill was made for pregnant women it is totally safe.  So I will keep taking it 💃

Answer

I wait until I start to feel sick each day before taking nausea medication.  Today I made it through the whole day without any medication help (first time in days) but did have a gag/dry heave incident when attempting to eat raw carrots which probably wouldn't have happened on meds.

Answer

I just take them when I feel they are needed and some days I don't have to take any at all. There are also coupons on the outside of the boxes of the samples. So you only pay $30 for the meds.

Answer

I just stopped cold turkey last week, I'm almost 11 weeks and not needing it anymore. If it's a cost issue you could ask your dr for samples-i never had to pay for mine bc of all of the samples
