Ok, who takes Zofran?

in 1st Trimester

I think I need to buckle down and start taking it. A friend gave me her leftover pills (don't worry, I'm checking with my doc to make sure I can take someone elses Rx first...)

I'm a hot nauseous mess and I'm down about 7 lbs.

What side effects have you experienced?

The bottle warns of dizziness, headache, and drowsiness. Like I need to be more tired.

    Constipation. Horrible, horrible constipation.

    I recommend lots of apple juice.

    I didn't notice dizziness, headaches or drowsiness though.

    I take it occasionally (not on a regular basis - yet) and have no issues with side effects.  Not even the dreaded constipation.

    Ditto the constipation.  If I just take it once then I'm fine.  But if I take it two days in a row I'm in trouble.  Colace is your friend if you need to take Zofran often.

    I'm taking it twice a day, no sides effects whatsoever except the constipation...........that is bad in itself but rather that than the nausea........wish they gave it to me a lot sooner than 9 weeks....

    pretty sure your Dr. will tell you not to take someone a prescription that is for someone else.  However zofran only comes 2 ways, dissolve and non-dissolve.  so, even if they tell you not to take it because it belongs to someone else...check the expiration date and you should be A OK

    I didn't get any of those symptoms while taking it. I did have a very dry mouth and had to drink lots and lots of water!! Which of course means extra potty breaks.

    I'm on Phenergan which has the same side effects. I'm sooooo tired I fall asleep at work sometimes. No dizziness. Horrid constipation- nothing is helping that situation.

    Puking is down quite a bit- thought I was in the clear, then changed a poopy diaper tonight and lost it. UGH.

    GL!

    She isn't exaggerating. It does. I take colace along with it.

    I took it with my first until 20 weeks. I personally wouldn't call it a miracle drug but it did help take the edge off. Major major constipation and bad headaches were my side effects.
