Senior Member omy Posted March 3, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 3, 2010 Are the ingredients in non-perscription sleep aids ok during the post op period ?(doxylamine or diphenhydramine). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mmhce Posted March 3, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 3, 2010 Those are mild tranquilizing/sedating drugs, combined into cold medications. They shouldn't be a problem. OTC is a big hint that they're quite harmless, (unless you plan to mix a few other things together and make meth ) Do you plan to get a cold after having a HT? take care...

Senior Member youngsuccess Posted March 3, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 3, 2010 omy, I would be careful about combining commonly prescribed post-operative pain medications like Hydrocodone (Vicodin) with over-the-counter sleep aids like Tylenol PM, since both contain acetaminophen. Something like "Simply Sleep" just has diphenhydramine. Never hurts to check with your doctor, though. The following excerpt was taken from Bernstein Medical's Post-op Instructions: The most important medication to use when trying to sleep is the pain medication; be certain that the pain is under control before using any additional sleeping medication, as the additional pill will often not be necessary.

Senior Member Fingers Crossed Posted March 4, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted March 4, 2010 Omy, You might want to try Melatonin. It's all natural and it works! Take about 5 mg, 30 minutes before bed. My Hair Loss Website - HT with Dr. Hasson My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Hasson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
