In reply to What OTC and RX meds have you taken for insomnia, posted by Colleen D. on June 28, 2004, at 20:41:25
Hi Colleen -
I've been taking Lex and had horrible insomnia the first few months. I took anything OTC that had sleepy properties: Benadryl, Midol PMS, Tylenol PM. Melatonin worked great for me too. I don't think there is any danger in it mixing with ADs. My doctor thought I could go on and on just taking Benadryl.
Good luck!

as far as the OTC ones go, is Benadryl (diphenhydramine HCL) more suitable than Unisom (doxylamine succinate) for frequent use with ADs??? I'm taking 150mg Effexor XR daily and I'm still waiting for a call from my doc re: getting a prescription. Apparently she has been out of the office and the receptionist didn't tell me that when I called last Friday. I want to have some ideas on what I might ask for when I talk to her (hopefully tomorrow.)
