What is Zopran

butterflyelvis

Hi ladies i was just reading a post about nausea and several of you mentioned zopran. I had just popped on here to post my nausea vent and see if anyone had any suggestions.

 It's ALL DAY LONG, DAY AFTER DAY.... argh.. just want to feel like a human being again.

Is this an over the counter or did you get it from the doc?

I think it's Zofran, and it is a prescription medication.

It is the best drug on earth, if it works for you. I could barely get off the couch and after talking zofran I was able to function again? I however did get awful constipation from it and a bad headache in the afternoon. But until 3 o'clock everyday it was a huge improvement.

If you are looking for over the counter, you can take unisom and B6.

thanks, ladies. I'll ask the doc about it and thanks for the over the counter suggestions. This is my fourth pregancy and I've never felt this sick.

I had HORRIBLE morning sickness (well...more like all day sickness). I tried the Unisom B6 combo and it didn't touch it.

I called the OB and they prescribed me Zofran and let me tell you. MIRACLE drug!!!! I still had food aversions but the actual vomiting and constant nausea was almost non existent.

 I also got constipated so make sure that you do what works for you to ease that side effect. I know a lot of ladies used Colace.

When I had my first LO (back in 1997) Zofran was not available and I lost 40 pounds.

I had just about the opposite effects as this. The unisom/b6 helped me MUCH more than the Zofran did.  And I was taking 8mg of Zofran twice a day... definitely needed it to help with vomitting but the Unisom helped a lot more with the constant queaziness.  Fortunately it didn't make me constipated which is about the only nice thing I can say about my first trimester

 It's worth a try if it works for you!

I tried Zofran... It worked wonderfully, but the constipation was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I had to stop taking it as a result, and instead switched my prenatals. I feel much less nauseous now.
