Zofran... side effects? does it work?

Hi ladies... so I broke down and called the doc today... the morning sickness is KILLING me. So I called and begged for Zofran, well the generic actually. (Zofran was $500-$1000 for me, we are self pay YIKES!) the generic is going to be about a hundred bucks for 20 pills.

So that being said, does it work? It better! And I've heard about crappy side effects, so what are they? I have to say I'll take anything over this m/s... ANYTHING!

    It works like a charm for me. It does make me constipated, though.

    It does work.

    The side effect for me....SEVERE constipation.  Like constipation so bad that it hurts to touch your stomach and horrible abdominal cramping.  At one point it got so bad, I just stopped taking it so that the constipation pain would get better....

    things that help the constipation. (sometimes for me)

    lots of water...lots and lots

    colace

    benefiber

    prunes

    more water

    It works great! It can cause headaches and as pp mentioned constipation. I add benefiber to drinks and no issues now.

    Zofran saved me. ?I couldn't eat anything or keep anything down, not even water. ?I got on this and I was able to eat and drink again. ?Like PP said, definitely gives you constipation. ?I would put a TON of benefiber in my water and that seemed to help.

    I'm very thankful for Zofran! ?I haven't had to take it too often, but it definitely helps. ?It does give me a slight headache. ?I haven't had terrible constipation, but I'm also not taking the full possible dose, because I usually only have major problems in the evening now. ?It was worse when I had to take it all day (I have the 6-8 hour dissolvable version)
