Question:
In my last pregnancy, upon experiencing severe nausea, vomiting, I was told to take Unisom. This helped me somewhat, but when I stopped, I started getting panic attacks in middle of the night. Is there any possibility I had a severe reaction/sensitivity to Unisom, or should I assume that this was a reaction to trauma?
Thank you
Answer:
We are sorry to hear that you got panic attacks in the middle of the night, after stopping Unisom. However, there is no evidence to say that is related to your taking Unisom. We have never received reports of this happening to anyone before. On the other hand, anything is possible, so if you take it again in your next pregnancy and the same thing happens, you should report it to your physician.
