If you've taken Zofran...

[sarabi]

I took it and it did work for me. I didn't take it in the first tri because as weird as this sounds the nausea was reassuring to me somehow that hopefully everything was okay. Once I started feeling movement, I was sick of the constant nausea and took the zofran a few times a day. In my experience, it helped alleviate things pretty quickly once I took a pill.

Yup. It makes you stop puking and takes away most of the nausea feeling. I took half doses because of my effing insurance- they wouldn't approve enough pills- so I still felt like crap but I was able to tolerate living.

It didn't help at all with exhaustion.

It didn't work that well for me (it cut down a little bit on the vomiting but not the god awful nausea) and it also gave me the worst constipation I've ever experienced in my life. It was horrible.

But you never know how it'll work for you. It's definitely worth a try.

Didn't miraculously make me feel 100% but allowed me to keep it together long enough to make it to a bathroom.

It works SO well, but makes me terribly constipated.

Yes. It's not perfect, and I still felt mildly nauseous most of the time, but it kept it from going out of control and allowed me to get a reasonable amount of food down.

However, take it with a chaser of Miralax. Colace did zip for me personally, but Miralax was a godsend.

It helped me, but my insurance sucked and would only give me like 10 tablets. My ob ended up prescribing me both Zofran and Phenergan. I took the phenergan at night only though, because I would pass out if I took it.

Zofran was seriously a lifesaver for me. Definitely take something to help with constipation though. I started drinking prune juice.

ugh me too, I forgot about that. Ate prunes, plums, grapes and took colace.

It didn't help me much until the 2nd tri. I just had to suffer through the first tri, but now when I feel sick, the Zofrans help take the nausea away and I usually don't throw up.

[barefootcontessa]

It helps some. I still vomit, just not as much. The GI effects are no joke. I get terrible gas pain that makes me think I am losing the baby. I am not sure what is worse. Have you tried the unison-B6 combo.

[dcrunnergirl]

It helped a lot. I took it most of first tri, stopped all of second tri, and then had to start a daily dose again during third tri from 28w until the day I delivered. By then, I wasn't vomiting but was so nauseous all day that I didn't want to eat, and I had to eat b/c I was at risk of an IUGR baby.

It never made me constipated.

I basically had to decide if I could survive through the nausea so I could poop sometime in the next month, or if I wanted to stop feeling sick for 8 hours but end up in tears on the toilet. I have a way TMI story about the constipation. I thought I was going to have to go to the ER for relief, but thankfully was able to take care of it at home. I'll spare the details.

[fortmyersbride]

It definitely helped. I still vomited on occasion and felt nauseated, but it kept things under better control. Like pps said, make sure you're at least taking colace, i added in milk of Mg when I was taking zofran round the clock.

So how concerned should I be that my first dose a 6:30pm est did NOTHING? I've seriously been in tears most of the night.

I took more than 1/day. You might call your dr and see if you're allowed to.

Another thing a dr friend told me was that benedryl can help with nausea. Again, you probably want to ok that one with you dr.

Phenergan was the only thing that worked for me, but made me sooooo tired I couldn't really take it.

This was me too. The zofran was pointless for me.
