Cant sleep can i take benadryl?



Recommended Posts

Hi I got sleeved 2/16 and since then I've been having trouble falling asleep at night. Once I fall asleep I sleep good but I don't end up falling asleep until 3 or 4 in the morning. Can I take Benadryl?? Or does anybody know what's good for this???

I crush my sleeping pill and then put it in a bit of juice and dissolve it and then sip it.

My dr said that our tummies can't handle pills until after 3 weeks.

Good luck

I can't sleep. I was prescribed ambien. Still couldn't sleep so doc told me to take benadryl with the ambien. Still can't sleep...so i would say its fine to take some benadryl.

Yes I took two pills after surgery: pain meds and anti-biotic which were quite large. Should be no problem.

I was having that problem too. I was sleeved on 2/19/13. I talked to the surgeon and he said give it time and he was right. This weekend I finally started sleeping better. Give it time.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
