Is Unisom a Stimulant?

[ZoomZoom88]

I am currently having BP issues and was wondering if unisom was a stim....... Anyone?

Absolutely not. Unisom is sold as an OTC sleep aid that either contains diphenhydramine or doxylamine. Both are antihistamines by drug class, but doxylamine specifically is a very potent hypnotic medication causing profound drowsiness at specific doses. How it's still available as an OTC medication is beyond me.

Antihistamines themselves (block histamine and acetylcholine receptors) can potentiate the effects of some medications, or even interact negatively with others. Are you taking any medications currently?

Which active does the unisom you have contain.....either diphenhydramine or doxylamine? It can be either depending on the preparation.
