Success with B6?

in September 2011 Moms

My doctor suggested B6 for the nausea when I told her I hadn't filled my zofran. I didn't fill it because early on (crazy me) I was comforted by the sickness and now, I feel like this will be over soon and don't want to fill a prescription now. The first bottle of B6 I bought has a "not intended for pregnant women" warning on the label. I trust my doctor and I know other people on here have taken it, just wondering if it's indeed worth it to go and buy a different bottle of B6.

    My doctor recommended this before he prescribed Zofran.  The B6 did not work for me personally.  The Zofran on the other hand, has been a lifesaver.  I hope you are feeling better soon!

    My sister is a chef and told me about a month ago that chick peas are a good source of B6, which is good for morning sickness.  She recommended hummus and falafel.  I'm not sure how much it helps, but it's delicious.

    Last time it worked for me, this time it didn't.  Hopefully you'll find it helps you!

    i think any B6 is fine - the label is there to protect them, because it's not a prescription, just as other OTC medicines have "check with your doctor if you're nursing or pregnant" on them.   I have heard, however, to keep your intake around 50mg - so perhaps these are a really high dose?  Also, my midwife told me that taking a 50 mg B6 pill along with half of a Unisom sleep tab is a good combo for M/S.

    My OB recommended B6 too.  He said I could take 75 mg 3x a day.  The pills I got were 100 mg, so I just took them 2x a day.  It helped.  It didn't make it go away, but it helped.

    If I had a prescription for Zofran though I'd go ahead and fill it.  Even if it only lasts another week that's 7 days less of suffering IMO.

    B6 is the active ingredient in B-Natal pops or lozenges and work miracles for me!

    I never was throwing up, but my nausea was absolutely awful. B6 saved me on that front. A huge improvement.

    I used a zonfran and B6 combo and it worked great for me! Zofran alone was not doing the trick, so I added the B6 and it made my day livable.
