To those of you who had to take Zofran in your first trimester, when were you able to stop taking it? I'm into the 2nd tri now and while I'm a lot better than I was at 7 weeks, I'm still needing Zofran atleast once or twice a day. My m/s has seemed to come back and now I'm dry heaving as soon as I wake up if I don't take it. When will all this let up? I'm starting to worry that I'll be taking it for the rest of my pregnancy! When did you ladies find you were able to wean off?

I took it up until about 19 weeks and then finally was able to function like a normal human being.

I still take it at night or I get pretty sick in the AM even now. My last pregnancy, I took it up until the night I delivered. No placenta = no Zofran for me.

I think I started weaning off of it at about 12 weeks and was completely off of it around 13 weeks. I still got sick occassionally in the mornings, but haven't thrown up at all in about a week and a half! Big Smile

My sister on the other hand had to take it her entire pregnancy. So it really varies!

I'm 28 weeks and still take it 2 or 3 times a week.

Thanks ladies, I have a doc appt tomorrow and was wondering if I need to ask for a refill, and it looks like I should bc it could be a few more weeks of this or longer lol. My goodness nausea go away, your kicking my butt!

I am in a similiar position as you. During first tri I took it nearly every day. Now I just take it as needed, usually 2 maybe 3x's per week. It works great, so as long as I need it I planned on taking it.

During first trimester I took it twice a day. Then I was able to go down to once a day, and now I only take it on an as-needed basis. I still probably take it about twice a week or so.

Still using it, although I feel better. Same thing happened in my last pregnancy. I thought I didn't need it, I let it run out, and then I would spend the next day puking again. I did that a few times, so finally decided that I needed it til the end. I have a few left right now, and I will probably let it run out before I decide if it needs to be refilled again.

I still take it every morning. I tried to go off of it last week and threw up every morning.

I probably only used about 20 pills in all. More in the first tri a couple in the second. I notice now that its cold if I have just ate and go out in the cold and have to walk I get sick. But I think its just different for every person. My poor cousin was sick up to the day she had LO. I would suggest maybe eating a snack before bed or right when you get up. That seems to help sometimes. Hope you get to feeling better.

With my first I was on it til about 20 weeks and then for a little bit in 3rd tri as well. With my second, pretty much the whole pregnancy. This time I was on it daily until about a week ago and I haven't needed it this week but I'm not counting myself out - especially since my m/s came and went with my last two pregnancies.

I was twice daily until about 18 weeks, and once daily until 20 weeks. Now, I just take it as needed (a couple times a week).

adam_dana · December 2011

I still take it twice a day

MotherMonster · December 2011

I take it for my nausea related to my gall bladder, so I'm still taking it.

coldenka · December 2011

My m/s dropped off around 16 weeks, but I still took it maybe once a week.

This week (I'm 19 weeks) I've taken it once and thrown up maybe 3 days out of the week. I was glad to have a break from throwing up, but it was not nearly long enough! I hope this week was just a fluke!

mikah.george · December 2011

I was taking it since 14 weeks. Now that I am 20 weeks, I am off it. I decided that I would rather be throwing up than be as constipated as I was. The constipation was WAY worse.

Luckily, I'm on day 6 of being off it & no throwing up at all!

Find something that settles your stomach. For me, it's OJ & Apple Sauce.

i still take it every other night and it seems to keep me good for two days but i attempted breaking this pattern this past Sunday and i woke up Monday morning with major gagging spells...ugh...so i'll stick with this plan and then try not taking i again in a few weeks!!!
