 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

 4  Morning Sickness Fatigue It helped curb the violent episodes of throwing up. I had severe morning sickness and this medicine made it possible to finally eat, but I still had the urge to throw up, but thankfully I didn't anymore. F 27

 3  Nauseau If I take this early enough it takes the edge of nausea but does not eliminate it by any stretch of the imagination. Phenergan is so superior, but doctors are more reluctant to prescribe. F 58

 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

 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

 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

 4  AIDS-related Kaposi's Sarcoma Minor headache Got my first disolving tablet a few hours earlier after spending the entire day and previous evening with severe nausea and vomiting. Within one hour my stomach stopped doing flip-flops and I have not thrown up in almost 4-hours - nausea feeling is still there, but nothing like it was earlier. I will be updating this as I take Zofran more often. M 20 1 days

 3  nausea For the last few days days my poop has been white! I have scoured the internet about possible reasons, and when researching what is in these tablets, there is hydrochloride, so it might be a culprit. As for the way it worked, it worked wonderfully to relieve the nausea. F 18 1 days

 2  HG pregnancy Initially after a day I felt great and was able to eat. After 4 days of taking Zofran I woke up and thought I was having a heart attack. It was like a sumo wrestler sat on my chest compacting it, and like someone karate kicked my back between my shoulders. Very frightening. Get side effects checked out!!! F 32 1 days

 4  Morning sickness Just a headache, which is better than vomiting all day I am on my 8th week of pregnancy and it has been terrible up to this point. Severe nausea and vomiting daily, making life and work unbearble for me. I have no vacation time left so I had no choice but to be placed on Zofran, it worked like a dream for me. I do get headaches but I will deal with that so I don't have to keep vomiting. M 34 2 days
