What do you do if Zofran doesn't work??

I've tried B6, ginger, Phenergan, Zofran...nothing seems to work. What else can I do for m/s? My doctor says if the Zofran tabs don't work, she'll have me do injections...

    I did all of the above and nothing really worked....I think the med that worked the best was phenergan (but a suppository) and I think it only really made me feel better because I passed out and slept for 4+ hours....can't feel too sick when you are asleep. 

    Other than that...I just had to live with it...it was awful and I hated it...I am so hoping that if I get pg again, that I don't have to deal with that again!

    Good luck to you..I feel your pain!

    Suck it up.  I am only half joking.  I never took anything except the B6/Unisom combo a few times.  I just suffered through it alternating between damning dh to hell and saying I could take a month more or so.  Said it was my last pregnancy, etc.  It eventually went away and I went on to get knocked up again.  You will get through, I promise.

    My girlfriend was on zofran and that didn't work so her dr prescribed steroids.

    OMG...So funny how I totally blocked it all out..I did take another med that worked really, really well...it actually allowed me to eat and keep it all down...

    I took prednisone which is a steroid...it took a couple days to kick in, but it increased my appetite and allowed me to keep food down and made me feel half way normal.

    Wow, I didn't even know steroids were prescribed for m/s...a guess that would be another option. Thanks ladies! 

    I really hope it only lasts a few more weeks...

    I had m/s my entire pregnancy with my DD and took Zofran.  I still got sick every day, but it made it possible for me to function.

    Hugs, I hope you find something that can help!  M/S is no fun!

    Yes. The bleed stopped thank goodness! I'm so happy not to have that worry for now, I guess the m/s isn't really that bad!

    Have you tried Unisom with the B6?  I swear this is the reason I'm able to function...only slight queasiness vs. all day feeling horrible.
