Zofran?

Is anyone else taking it? 

Doc gave me a prescription for it today and hubby picked it up for me.  I just hate putting stuff like that in my body.  Sad  However, I am dehydrated and need something to help me out of this.

Thoughts?

Re: Zofran?

  • Not on it this time (yet....) but took it religously every 4 hours for almost 20 weeks with my last. It was all that could keep me off the bathroom floor. It didn't make the nausea disappear, but allowed me to function more like a human. My son is now 20 months old, healthy, perfect :) Hope you feel better soon!!

  • Normally I don't take any medications I just do natural remedies, but I've been taking the Zofran it's made a huge difference for me.

  • I feel the same way! I hate taking medicine unless I absolutely have to.  I am considering asking for Zofran at my next appointment though because this m/s is out of hand.  Would you mind letting me know if it helps?  I hope it works wonders for you!

  • I got it yesterday because of my flu bug but I will be asking tomorrow if I can continue taking it for my m/s too.

  • I put it off as long as I could last time & finally went on at 10 weeks for 6 weeks becasue I was puking a few times everyday. I want go that long this time if it gets that bad.

  • Take it, you won't regret it! I tried every natural remedy before I broke down and took Zofran. I was determined not to take any meds during my first trimester, but my hormones didn't agree. I started taking it around 7 weeks. It can make you constipated so, be prepared for that. For me, it typically kicks in within 15-30 minutes of taking it.

  • Be prepared it can cause you to have a headache the first little few times you take it. But honestly i tried mint, i tried b6, i tried every wives tale and natural remedy i could find. I lost 6 lbs in a two weeks so the doctor put me on zofran. I was so dehydrated even water made me puke. I know its helped me. I started when i was 6 weeks and now i can actually work without having to have a puke bag in hand or run to a garbage can. (sorry TMI)  makes a huge difference!

  • With DS I put it off until I was 10 weeks, thinking I was being all noble and keeping my body clean. Once I took the first dose I was like a new woman. I really wished I hadn't spent the past 4 weeks of morning commute pulling over in apt. Complexes to stick my head out the window. Momma learned her lesson. Got my rx at 6 weeks this go around!
