zofran

I am having a really hard time with nausea... literally it lasts all day long. I only seem to feel ok when I am sleeping! I have noticed some people love Zofran... any side effects? I don't want to be drowsy for example. Also, does it really help? I haven't wanted to take anything but I want to feel better!

Zofran does help quite a bit, but a huge side effect is constipation...

This.  It was so bad that I decided that having m/s was not nearly as bad as the constipation, so I quit taking Zofran.

same here haha... I could deal with the nausea  but not the constipation lol

I am 9 weeks and I have had the worst nausea since week 6...I put my self on bed rest...and bathroom floor rest...I couldnt keep anything down.The Doc gave me Zofran and at first it was a miracle then my body adjusted to it and it didnt keep me from getting sick or just feeling sick so I talked to the doctor again and he said I could take 8 mg a  3 times a day since I was taking 4mg, its helping....I will say I have been constipated but that also comes from your prenatal vitamins so either way I would rather not feel sick! I still feel sick sometimes but I went to Babies R US and got an anti-nausea ginger mint tea, PSI wrist bands and Preggie pop drops....I have felt so much better since! Good luck and feel better.

I guess it depends on the person beacuse i have been using Zofran and i feel soo much better but have not had the side effects everyone is talking about! i have not been consipated i feel 100% better then what i have been feeling lately I hope it works for you if you choose to use it! It was a life saver for me!!!

obviously (and you will hear this alot) every one is different in their pregnancies... 

as far as m/s... Mine started around 9 weeks or so, and was totally gone at around 16 weeks, then started coming back around 23 weeks every now and again... It still hits me maybe once a week or so...

I've been taking Zofran, but I have 4mg pills, and I try to keep it to one or two a day.  At night I take the unisom/b6 combo.

I haven't been constipated, YET.  But that's a big reason I've been keeping the Zofran to a minimum, just in case

Zofran has worked for me, for the most part.  Even though the whole times its in my mouth I gag and my eyes water as I try not to puke, but once its down I usually keep everything else down as well!  Constipation has started to kick in, definitely less than ideal and I am not a huge water drinker, even though I force myself as much as possible.  I would say it's worth a try for you- since for me, the vomitting is SO horrible that I am handling the constipation.  I try to take just 1 zofran a day (8mg).  Goodluck!

I was so sick when I was pregnant with my daughter that I was hospitalized for dehydration, so for me zofran was a life saver and I was sick from week 6 to week 16. I did have some constipation but that is very common symptom of being pregnant anyway. Hoping not to get sick with this one, but if I do I will definitley be taking it again.
