My Dr told me to take it when I  kept breaking out in hives and  a rash. Helped with itching and hives but they didnt fully go away for several weeks so I had to take it daily for almost  3 weeks. Made me sleepy however my baby was bouncing all over the place!! Obviously it had an opposite effect on him. Lol good luck! :)
