Hi all I’m 11 weeks pregnant and have been taking 2 x 10mg of promethazine since I was seven weeks to help with really bad insomnia and rhinitis. It does help a lot. But I’m just drowning under all the negative stuff about the medication. Apparently it’s a “category c“ drug that has shown some bad things in animals and sites including the NHS say to take it for “the shortest time possible”. I don’t know what that means. And also dosage is unclear. I was given of the tablets by dr and they didn’t require a follow up. may only get three hours sleep without taking them. I’m also not successfully sleeping in the day. I tried going without last night and was still awake at 4am. I’m between midwives so don’t have someone to reach out to. Should I really be trying to stop them, which is stressful. Or is it ok? Could I have done damage already? I understand sleep usually gets better in the second trimester. I would appreciate reassurance.
