I was prescribed Bactrim for a sinus infection. Cleared infection well but on day 2 started to feel very nauseated and VERY COLD although no fever. Strange dreams and sleeplessness. Day 3 loss of appetite and more nausea chills, (no vomiting) Day 5 wound up in Emergency room with fever, dizziness, , panic, paranoia, disorientation, pain in right side. ER took blood and my liver enzymes were elevated. They too said it was a virus...NO Way is this a virus...I have had a very bad reaction to the Bactrim. They said if it was a reaction, it would clear in a few days. I am taking milk thistle extract for liver...I had blood taken two weeks ago and liver enzymes were much lower....they had doubled on bactrim. BEWARE OF THIS Drug...(I took it when I was younger with no troubles too. Dont drink on it either (I did and this maybe why I had such a bad reaction. ) Gave me zofran for nausea. I am drinking LOTS of water to flush.

seemed to worsen my severe nausea. i took it 3 times to give it a chance to work, and again, i seemed worse. but I was having a very bad time of it, it's possible it just didn't work and I would have been worse anyway. But I had already been thru 5 straight days of severe nausea and 2 days of vomiting, and it was after this that I was given the Zofran ODT to try, and then again, seemed to feel worse.

I was put on birth control when I was 21 years old and I started with Estrostep FE for irregular and very painful periods. 9 years later, after complaining of unusually light periods and horrible hot flashes I was switched to Yasmin to see if that would make a difference. I was fine with the Yasmin for about 6 months but then I came down with what I thought might have been a stomach virus. I was fine until June of that year when I came down with what seemed to be another stomach virus. I found this odd as I had not had a stomach virus since I was eight years old, but I seemed to have contracted two within six months of each other 22 years later. By the time July hit, I was experiencing these "stomach viruses" just about every other day. I would have horrible acid indigestion and the sensation of needing to vomit (but I never would) which would send me running for the bathroom for hours at a time just in case I did. For over a year I sought the advice of doctors and had been theoretically diagnosed with the following: stress (always the first one), acid reflux disease, IBS, and gastroparesis. I have gone through an endoscopy, gastric emptying scan, colonoscopy, two ultrasounds, two CT scans and an MRI. Drug wise I have been put on Prevacid, Compazine, Zofran, Zegerid, Imipramine, Reglan, Levsid, and Erythromycin. I now am buried in medical bills and the whole thing has caused me to miss a month of work without pay. I also was struggling to eat and, at one point, had dropped 25 pounds which is very frightening for someone with my tiny frame. The mental anguish was unbearable and I was actually at the point of welcoming a diagnosis of cancer just because it would have been answer. The idea to stop taking the Yasmin actually came from a fifteen minute conversation during a birthday party with an obstetrician. Within two weeks of stopping I was absolutely fine. I gained all of the weight back in record time and am once again a person who rarely ever needs stomach aids (in three months I've only taken two tums). Stopping the Yasmin made absolute sense because the nausea episodes would only occur between 9am and 2pm (weird, just like morning sickness) and my thyroid levels were all over the place. One blood test would show them as normal and another would show them as sky-high. I questioned my ob-gyn why she said my blood tests were normal when my thyroid levels were actually twice the normal level. She merely shrugged it off as being "normal because of the Yasmin". No wonder I never felt well! I've been off Yasmin for three months now. I've only gotten one light period that lasted for three days. It was over a month ago and it took almost two months to happen after stopping the Yasmin. I don't know if I'm sterile because I have heard cases of girls becoming infertile after long-term use of the pill (any kind). I am definitely interested in joining a class action lawsuit because I don't feel I should be the one stuck with all of these bills. Has anything been officially started yet?

I am currently taking Zofran (day 3) My prescription says to take it every 4 hours. I am noticing that I am fine with the first tablet (besides constipation). When I take the second one, I am natious and have this incredible desire to not stop eating. Nothing seems to satisfy the hunger. Not to mention the incredible bloating and cramping Anyone else felt this way? Im going to go to just the one in the morning and just be sick the rest of the day once it wears off.

I am 18 weeks pregnant and have been taking Reglan since i was about 6 or 7 weeks pregnant after being admitted for sever dehydration and hypermesis(i think the two are the same) I was having severe nausea and vomiting and couldn't keep water or food down and i was to the point where i didn't want to eat anything. This is my 3rd pregnancy and this is the longest that I had to deal with these symptoms. I was on phenergan anal suppository and Zofran which was supposed to stop the nausea and allow me to eat which at first it kept me sleeping. After i was admitted in high risk unit they gave me Reglan and took me off of the Zofran and phenegan and put me on potassium and reglan along with benadryl. Nothing has stopped the vomiting it has gone down but not subsided. I have been out of work and has advised the doctor that it isn't working and they still want me to take this pill. I don't think that it is safe to be on so many medications which my doctor wants me to take the zofran again. I am spiritual and there has been two many times where my meds have gone missing and i have been put in the position where i can't afford to buy more. i think it is a sign and i just keep having this bad feeling about the baby taking all these pills. My tongue numb sometimes. my sleep pattern is of i have fatigue at night and am tired through out the day. I am more paranoid than ever. I am going back to work and will just suffer the natural symptoms i have done with my other children. Taking prescription drugs during pregnancy is just not natural and i will not sacrafice my child for promise of only suppressed symptoms for my child any longer.

I have experienced pretty bad morning sickness during weeks 6-present. I am currently 11 weeks pregnant. I vomit regularly each morning and evening, but can make it through the day as long as I eat regularly. The night is bad, in fact, it is difficult to sleep because of the constant nausea.
I took a generic of Zofran just once and thought it was a miracle drug. My nausea stopped literally within minutes of taking the Zofran. I was so happy!
However, about 3pm the same day, I began experiencing the WORST MIGRAINE of my life. I thought I was dying. I kept thinking, I must have a brain tumor or something. It hurt to breathe. I asked my husband to call the pharmacist, my doctor, everyone because I was in so much excruciating pain.
In summary, I would advise everyone NOT TO TAKE ZOFRAN!!! If you have morning sickness, trust me, that is tough but nothing compared to the severe migraine you might develop due to the drug.

I am up at this moment, because my stomach is hurting from the lithium. I've been on it now for about a year, but my stomach just started hurting at night after about an hour after taking it for about three months now. Is anyone else experiencing this? I read one post above about it, but that's all. There is no vomiting, but just upset stomach. It keeps me awake. I'm on lithium and lamictal, and Topomax. If you experience this, is anyone taking anything for the nausea? Thank you! And everyone hang in there! You're in my prayers! Don't give up!

I had to have my appendix removed -- told them before surgery that I had very bad chronic acid reflux, so I guess that's why the surgeon wrote orders for them to give me Reglan right after the surgery -- he did not specify for how long, and they kept giving it to me every four hours for the next day or so. Within 24 hours, I had terrible nausea causing violent dry heaves (there was nothing to throw up because I hadn't eaten anything for the previous 24 hours. When I did try a few sips of water or broth, I would immediately vomit that back up). I was dry heaving so hard and so continuously I was afraid I was going to break my stitches from the appendectomy. Also had extreme shortness of breath, like I was having an anxiety attack, extreme stiffness/pain in my neck and head mucles, like the back of my neck and my head were being crushed in a giant vise grip. Felt very dissociated and had trouble focusing my eyes and focusing my attention on anything. .
If I laid down to try to rest, the shortness of breath would get worse -- would feel like I was suffocating. So then I would get up and walk around a little to try to breathe better, and the violent dry heaves would start again until I was so exhausted from them I would try to lay down again to rest a little. Then the shortness of breath would start up again, and I would have to stand up . . . I went round and round like that for a solid 24 hours, no sleep, until the surgeon showed up for his rounds and decided I might be having a reaction to the Reglan, that he hadn't intended for them to keep me on it for that long. They took me off the Reglan, then the surgeon and my regular MD called in a neurologist who prescribed Flexaril for the neck stiffness and Phenergan for the nausea, instead of the Zofran they had been giving me, which wasn't helping.
Within 30 minutes of my first doses of Phenergan and Flexaril (and I had been off the Reglan for about 3-4 hours by then), I was sleeping like a baby, and continued to rest comfortably throughout the night, and was able to go home the next day with prescriptions for Phenergan, Lortab, and Flexaril. I will never, NEVER allow anyone to give me Reglan again -- I seiously felt like I was dying, and it scared the h*ll out of both my husband and me, because I am not the "sickly" type at all, The entire episode was a nightmare, and I am convinced it was directly related to the Reglan.

Just started 10 days ago, I have endometreosis and the doctors have argued with me for years. They refuse to help me with the pain basically leaving me NO choice. I started, my skin as gone to heck, my bladder is driving me up a tree, they had to put me on zofran for the nausea, I cry all the time, have cramps and pressure. Wow what great stuff. There are so many pills out there how do you find one that works?

I took Zofran for nearly my entire pregnancy for severe vomiting, and it was the wonder drug. HOWEVER, I want to let everyone know that my son has a lot of health issues (i.e. severe reflux, asthma, hypotonia, oral motor issues) and I've met some other moms with children who have similar issues. Surprisingly, all of these moms took Zofran through their pregnancies as well, so my gut tells me there is a link.
