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.

Well, I just got through dealing with Hyperemesis at 12 weeks which included the whole Zoloft medicine along with having to be hospitalized and having an IV attached to me at home. I ended up having to have an abortion, because I was sick beyond my imagination. And the doctors didn't have much hope for me. All I can say is take the medication. If not every 4 hours, maybe every 7 hours. Don't allow yourself to go into the vomiting cycle. And oh yes, I was extremely constipated and my stomach was cramping, along with slight bleeding. Sorry, not trying to be too graphic, but if I could go back in time, I would have used the suppositories, tablets, anything to prevent the vomiting.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing extreme hunger while on Zofran. I had no choice to take it during my first 13 weeks because without it I was not able to work, but during that time absolutely NOTHING satisfied my hunger. Every two hours during the night I was munching on a muffin. As soon as I came off of it, though, my appetite returned to somewhat normal.

And yes, you're absolutely correct about the constipation. That was awful! I also noticed that I had a hard time burping while on it.
