| 5 | Nausea and fear of throwing up | Occasional headache or slight constipation, but only rarely. | Miracle drug, if one dose doesn't work it's safe to take up to 24 mg a day I believe. It's very effective and I've never had to take that much. Miracle drug! | F | 23 | 1 days 8mg | 5/9/2016 | 5 | Migraines | Marked drowsiness and slightly dizzy at first but I could still function during the day. | I had bad nausea due to migraines this helped. Worked fast. Tried other anti nausea meds in the past but they all caused major drowsiness. | F | 37 | 1 days 4mg | 12/3/2015 | 5 | Nausea from Stomach Bug | Constipation, a little tired | This drug is a life saver. I have had stomach flu bug every year for the past 3 years. Each time this drug keeps me from vomiting. I may still have some slight nausea but it is 10 times better after the pill. I would be dead without it as I would rather die than throw up. I take 200 mg of Magnesium (you can get it at any drugstore) and that combats the constipation. Other over the counter remedies for constipation don't work for me. | F | 49 | 1 days 8 mg | 11/16/2015 | 5 | Morning Sickness | Constipation | I tried phenergen and diclegis before zofran...finally feel like I'm not a drunken sailor. Morning sickness lasted well into second trimester and zofran allowed me to still function at work, eat, and drive. I didn't throw up while taking it and it drastically reduced the constant nausea. I had initial concerns about taking while pregnant, but looked over the research and can't find any conclusive study (as the case with most medications and pregnancy) to outweigh the risk to benefit. | F | 31 | 4 months 8mg 1X day | 4/2/2015 | 5 | C. Diff | None. | This stuff is nothing short of miraculous! Severe nausea absolutely gone faster than I could ever have hoped for (a few minutes). | M | 51 | 1 days 4mg 1X day | 4/27/2014 | 5 | Migraine cyclic vomiting | I get akathesia when I take compazine, reglan and phenergan. This relieves the vomiting that occurs every 20-30 minutes. I only have these episodes 1-3 times a year but this prevents me from going into the ER. | F | 33 | 4 years 4mg | 3/15/2014 | 5 | Gastroparesis | Constipation. However so worth it. Often have to take 8 mg, but if taken at beginning of nausea, then that 8 mg lasts all day. Worth every penny. Pheregan works better for nausea, but I can not function at work on even a small dose of phenegan. | F | 53 | 8 months 4 | 12/27/2013 | 5 | Nausea/fear of vomiting | Mild headache and sometimes dizziness | This is like a miracle drug. I have a severe fear of vomiting, so I keep these on hand. If I ever get sick or start to feel really nauseated, I just need to take one and I feel better within 20-30 minutes. Like most drugs. though, it works best if you take it before symptoms have a chance to get severe. If you have a feeling that your stomachache isn't going to go away or might get really bad, or if it's one of those things where you suddenly get hit with it, take it sooner rather than later as it will work faster and relieve more of the nausea. Taking it when you're already very sick and on the verge of throwing up still helps, but it may not get rid of all the nausea, just take the edge off. I love this drug, though, I'd be so lost without it. I can now eat out at restaurants and try new foods without feeling anxious and afraid about the potential consequences. | F | 18 | 1X AN | 11/28/2013 | 5 | nausea | no side effects whatsoever. it helped with my nausea so well. the strawberry taste helps because when you're constantly vomiting you don't want to take a pill with a bad taste. | F | 21 | 2 weeks 4mg | 3/11/2013 | 5 | frequent vomiting from pregnancy | No noticeable side effect. Maybe slight tired haze, which is far better than vomiting 10x a day. Drug saved me from being hospitalized while pregnant. | F | 32 | 7 days 4mg | 2/22/2013 | 5 | nausea, vomiting, GERD, gastritis | drowsiness | Worked well for me. This medication made the nausea go away (and thus prevented more vomiting). It took about 30-60 minutes to kick in (in tablet form). | F | 28 | 3 weeks 4mg 3X day | 8/4/2012 | 5 | Chronic nausea, reflux | Lingering headache, intestinal cramps, foggy feeling Side effects were worth how much better stomach felt after taking | F | 31 | 1 years 4 | 4/30/2012 | 5 | nausea | mild drowsiness - it worked very well. it's the only available med i can have as i'm allergic (akathisia) to compazine and reglan. | F | 20 | 2 months 4-8 mg/day | 12/19/2011 | 5 | Morning sickness | Haven't really noticed to many side effects if anything slight constipation | F | 21 | 2 months 4mg | 11/27/2011 | 5 | Hyperemesis | None | This is my third and most severe HG pregnancy. During my worst weeks (7-20) I took 8mg twice a day in addition to Dicletin and Gravol. This kept me out of the hospital and quite functional, although still slightly nauseous. At 21 weeks I began to wean down to just the Zofran and only 2 Dicletin. By week 28 I was only taking the Zofran on an as needed basis. This drug was not available during my previous pregnancies and even though this is my most severe bout of HG, with the help of the Zofran I am actually the most functional, least depressed and have been able to gain the most weight out of all my pregnancies. This drug was an absolute miracle for me with no side effects other than some minor constipation. | F | 36 | 21 weeks 8mg 2X day | 7/30/2011 | 5 | Pregnancy nausea | None | F | 29 | 60 days 10 1X AN | 2/23/2011 | 5 | severe morning sickness all day | occasional headaches | This is a miracle pill! For the first 2 weeks of my pregnancy i could not move from the bed with the trash can beside it. I had tried phennergan but that didn't touch the nausea. My OB prescribed me Zofran ODT and after getting it in my system for about 2 days I could work and eat just as normal as before the pregnancy. I am now 8 months pregnant and if I skip the dosing for one day I am back to the same way i was before I started. I would definately reccomend this to anyone with severe nausea. | F | 21 | 6 months 4mg 2X day | 5/2/2010 | 5 | morning sickness | Occational headaches | I was tentative about taking medication during my pregnancy, but at 9 weeks nausea was preventing me from even leaving my bed. I started by taking the prescribed dosage and felt 100% better! After a few days, I cut the pill in half to see if that would do the trick. I now take half a pill every morning and that seems to hold off nausea for the entire day. | F | 31 | 2 weeks | 7/8/2009 | 5 | Severe Morning Sickness all day. | some constipation in the beginning but this cleared up once my body adjusted. Some headaches which also cleared up. | I call this drug my little miracle. My mom and sister were both sick all 9 months with their children and I am following in their footsteps so this has been very helpful. I was only having about 3 productive hours during my work day and I have a very detail-oriented job. Zofran helps me be able to work a full day and feel normal again. What a relief. Thanks to all who reccomended it. | F | 34 | 3 weeks | 4/13/2009 | 5 | Hyperemesis Gravidarum | moderate constipation, headache | I took this medication for Hyperemesis Gravidarum. I took it in ODT form and via IV. Both forms worked very well. I need to mention that it did not completely relieve the nausea, but it did control the vomiting. I would highly recommend this medication for anyone suffering from severe nausea +/- vomiting. | F | 34 | 8 months | 3/4/2009 |
