Possible trigger:
Do I just have to wait for it to pass? I gave the Unisom to my mom. __________________ I'm Blue |

Zzquill is the same stuff that is in benadryl and benadryl can make some people (me) go up. I was given several doses of it in the hospital once to calm me down and then had a miserable time waiting for it to leave my system. It was so bad I was put on 1:1 for a shift and the unit I go to rarely does 1:1s. They kept trying to find things I could do besides pace around. I think I took like 4 showers just to have something different to do that would calm me down for a little bit. No more of that stuff for me.

Did it make you hungry? I've been eating everything today and I read Unisom and Zzquil can cause increased hunger and weight gain since they are antihistamines and antihistamines do that.

I don't remember. I was so anxious I doubt I was eating much because I doubt I could stay still that long. Plus that was before my hospital decided to prioritize good food so I'm sure I was living on cottage cheese and fruit, the safest options on the menu.
