Trading one symptom for another...

Hey Ladies - This is my rant for the morning so thanks for listening! I started taking Zofran last week for the nausea that was making me crazy and miserable and it worked like a charm.  At the end of the week, though, and especially yesterday I started getting these terrible headaches (unlike anything I've ever had in my life).  Yesterday I spent most of the day with a cool facecloth over my eyes and a heating pad on my neck (I was really sore on my neck/base of my skull).  Maybe it has nothing to do with the Zofran and maybe it's just where I'm at in this pregnancy but I just want to feel better!  I was going to try and venture out to see my friends even though I couldn't drink yesterday, but I just couldn't get off the couch.  Also, I know I was extremely lucky to have had zero constipation problems in the beginning of my pregnancy but now that has started up (now that I'm not nauseous though I can eat more and choose better foods to try and help).  Monday morning vent complete! :)

Re: Trading one symptom for another...

  • One of the side effects listed for Zofran actually is headaches.  I had to stop taking Zofran for that reason.  I have always had migraines and Zofran just sort of made it worse.  You might want to ask your doctor about phenegran instead. &

  • The pp's are correct that zofran will not only give you headaches, it will constipate you too. As soon as my doctor prescribed me the zofran... he told me to get some collace as well to help. Drinking lots of water and eating fiber should help take care
