Zofran and nausea

This medication has been very effective for me, who suffers from nausea on a frequent basis and does not know yet for a 100% cause of it. It is possibly anxiety.

Anyway, one side effect this medication causes for me is constipation. But a lot of different medications cause that. If you are constipated, start taking fish oil. It makes stools softer and more regular.

Another side effect is drowsiness but that goes away after a while of taking the medication.

Stop taking drugs while pregnant!! Here, in the US, they kill our babies by making then sick through these drugs. In old times women were not allowed to take prescribed drugs while pregnant. There's a nutrition issue that can help you diminish nausea. But please, stop injuring our babies and make pharmaceutical industry get richer. They don't care about your health, but their own pockets. Please, be smart, and use old-fashioned recipes of herbs combined with nutrition. Trust me, it will help you keep your and your babies' health well. God bless.

Zofran has not been helpful for me at all. As a matter of a fact i will still throw up after taking it. It has gave me real bad constipation which has caused bad stomach pain. It is supposidly the strongest anti nausea med out there but does not help me at all.

I am about 8 weeks pregnant and was prescribed Zofran by my ob/gyn for severe nausea. I bragged on the drug after the 1st dose because I felt wonderful. I was prescribed every 8 hours as needed. The first pill I took on a Tuesday night, the second on Thursday night when I developed severe motion sickness, the third on Friday (by then I could not stand to move around). By Monday of the next week I felt as if I was going to explode. I was extremely miserable. I realized that I felt worse after the Zofran because of severe constipation. I felt as if everything I had eaten for the last week was just sitting in my stomach. I had nausea, dizziness, headaches, indigestion w/reflux, excessive gas and bloating, and a horrible taste in my mouth. I stopped taking the Zofran and used an enema and prune juice to clear my system. Some how, compare to how the Zofran made me feel the nausea doesn't seem so bad!
