Has anyone took cyclizine before?

Yes - I started on them and was taking 1/2 a tablet each time, but they were totally wiping me out (though did stop the sickness initially). Afterwards though, they actually made me sicker than I had been originally, and they were affecting my sleep too, so I went back to docs and changed to Prochlorperazine instead. Sorry you are feeling rubbish!!x

I was throwing mine back up all the time try stay in bed for 20 mins when you wake up and eat something little like a dry biscuit before taking it if that doesn’t help go back to gp there’s other anti sickness they will try you on . I had hg and was admitted to hospital as couldn’t keep anything down at all not even water so I’m on two different anti sickness now I’ve found also when thought I was feeling sick it was coz I’m hungry which is all the time try eat something when you feel sick not loads just little and often . Fresh fruits ginger biscuits things like that xx

I’ve been taking them for a few weeks now due to my hyperemesis, it’s been making me feel sleepy too but has definitely helped with the sickness, I keep taking little breaks for a day or two though as i’m still working full time and hate being sleepy at work. The doctor did tell me if I take breaks it won’t be as effective and will only work if taken consistently

Hey I’m in the same boat, currently take cyclizine it wiped me out for the first week but now I am fine I take 3 a day morning noon and night but I am still always feeling sick and I am still sick 2-5 times a day but it’s better than before when I couldn’t keep anything down, it’s difficult because your excited for baby but you don’t get to enjoy it because you’ve got such horrible symptoms you just feel like you’ve lost your body haha

I’m so sorry sorry your facing this. However its completely normal to have sickness and nausea in pregnancy. It’s mainly due to the elevated levels of human chorionic gonadotropin levels in the body. In most women vomiting subside in 2nd trimester and in some stay throughout pregnancy. I have given cyclizine as well. It does make you drowsy. I personally somehow just managed without it completely! However I know some of my clients had the course mostly in pregnancy. Work can wait mu lovely so just look after yourself and have rest. Try ginger biscuits. You can also try herbal teas just check which one is safe for you. It’s weird but I used to have a touch of black salt in my first trimester makes me feel better a bit. You need to make sure you feeling at least liquid inside you dnt want you get dehydrated and if you vomiting excessively maybe worth start takin them and rest as much as you can. Wishing you all the best Nida Breastfeeding practitioner

Also maybe worth making another appointment with dr I think they are few other anti sickness drugs dr can prescribe which are safe in pregnancy.

I found that they made me sleepy at the start, but they don’t now 😊 that could just be a trimester thing seeing as you’re already extra sleepy early on, or it could be that my body has adapted to that aspect

Yes I was the same very drowsy but I now take it with prochlorperazine and find that doesn't make me so drowsy no idea why. I was also given cyclizine in injection form which helped massively, gets into your system quicker, I went through the midwife for this not the doctor hope you feel better soon 💞

Yes I’m currently on them too and it’s so nice not to have nausea they really help with that but my god I am wiped out and ready for bed by about 6pm can’t keep my eyes open and I’m taking 2 a day rather than the full 3

It didn’t do anything for me apart from making me sleepy. I was still sick and had severe nausea. I switched to different pills x
