Can't sleep!

[mrzlbc 5]

I'm 7 days post op and I haven't been able to sleep since I left the hospital, what can I take or what do you guys do to sleep during the night?

I believe you can take Melatonin or Benadryl. I have had no problems sleeping (probably sleeping too much!).

You think I can take benadryl pills? Or do I have to use the kids benadryl liquid?

the benadryl tablets are pretty small - i was definitely allowed to take tablets that size whole. But since benadryl is not extended release, you can always cut them in half or crush them and take them. Most kids liquid medicines have a lot of sugar or sugar alcohols so I personally would try to avoid the liquid form of benadryl.

Thank you so much for that info. I'm going to have a good night sleep tonight! Yay!! Lol

I am taking most pills whole at 1 week post-op. Hope it helps.
