I have been taking doxylamine succinate daily for a sleep problem. I was told that it is a safe and effective OTC medication. My recent labs revealed impaired renal function. Prior to taking this medication, my labs were normal. I don't drink alcohol, but I have gained 25lbs since I started taking this medication. I'm about 30lbs overweight. I believe that this medication may be safe for occasional or short term use, but not long term. I feel that my HTN, elevated liver functions, and renal problems are directly related to Nyquil, and Simply Sleep use.
no
The amount of time that it takes doxylamine succinate to leave your system will depend on age and health. However, the average is 6-12 hours.
Is dolxylamine succinate a drug they look for when drug testing.
Yes and it can cause all sorts of problems including rhabdomyolosis and renal failure. go to Google and type in Doxylamine succinate overdose.
Your muscle tissue could quickly breakdown causing irreversible kidney damage (a disease called rhabdomyolysis), slip into a coma, or even die. The LD50 (median lethal dosage) of doxylamine succinate is 50-500 mg/kg, depending on the person. It's best to not take any amount within or beyond that range.
Antihistamines such as doxylamine (yes its an antihistamine) will compound effects of opiates. Those are fairly low doses but if someone had an alergy it could be a problem.
NyQuil does not contain diphenhydramine. It is doxylamine succinate.
yes as a barbituate
Every person's personal limits are different. The active ingredient in sleeping pills, doxylamine succinate, affects everybody differently, and there is no accurate report of how much it would take to overdose.
I've worked in pharmacy for awhile. There is no know interaction between the too. However to be on the safe side do not take anymore than 25mg of Doxylamine Succinate and take a regular does of ibuprofen NOTHING with added codeine in it! As one is an anti-inflamatory and the other is a calmative it MAY slightly increase the "hungover" feeling the next day. Personally I find a bit of caffeine helps make that go away but it depends on the individual!
I highly doubt it, I smoke a whole lot of weed and I've taken sleep aid's before (cheap one's from rite-aid that are not good for you) and they are not related at all. In fact, I'm pretty sure there's no drug tests for doxylamine succinate, it's a cheap sleep-aid
This is a question for your doctor as they have your medical history and know your dosages. Don't trust people that only inform others on here-say... There are multiple cases of Drug Toxicity reported when combining xanax with doxylamine succinate.
