Wonder if I should quit taking Zofran and just let myself vomit?

So I take my Zofran religiously every 4 hours.  I feel I need it to function.  But this state of "functioning" is pretty miserable.  I feel on the verge of vomiting pretty much all day, but it's really bad by the evening - to the point where I sit on the couch with my puke pit in my lap and DH has to do everything for DD.

I am also one of those crazy people that is afraid to throw up.  Like, I get major anxiety over it.  

 I'm wondering if I could conquer the fear of throwing up, quit taking Zofran and just let myself puke every now and then if I would actually feel better for the other parts of the day?  Any thoughts on this?

    On the mornings that I get up and don't fight it, I do feel better the rest of the day.  I just go ahead and get it over with before I have to throw up food or something later.

    Of course, my M/S is  much better than in the beginning when I couldn't keep anything down, even after throwing up several times.  You could always try it for one day.

    i agree with seaside. Throwing up makes me feel better....  i hate the feeling of carsickness all day more than throwing up.

    IMO, actually throwing up doesn't help at all. It's the hormones making us sick, and unfortunately, we can't vomit them up. :(

    If I don't take a Zofran, I feel better for about 15 minutes after barfing. Then it's abck to all-day nausea.

    I have found that I started to feel more nauseus while on the zofran so I stopped taking it and I feel much better. I was taking it every 6-8 hours because I didn;t want to nausea to creap up on me but it did anyway.  Try going with out it and see how you feel.

    Personally, puking makes my stomach feel so much better. I've actually induced it by brushing my teeth once (something about the foam?) just to feel better. And I agree with PP on getting it over with before eating. If puking occurs after eating, the stomach acid really hurts my throat.
