| 3 | Pregnancy morning sickness | Extreme constipation, which I did not realize was related to the Zofran until I got off of it, occasional headaches and somewhat increased fatigue | I had to wean myself slowly, taking 4-mg twice a day, then 3, then 2, then 1 and finally, 1 mg once a day for a week. If I lessened the dose more quickly, I'd feel "good" for a couple days, then the nausea would return and I'd go back on Zofran and be useless for 2-4 days due to fatigue and headaches. So relieved to be off of it now and having normal bowel movements. | F | 32 | 3.5 months 1-4 mg 2X day | 1/10/2013 | 4 | Morning sickness during pregnancy | This drug was a life safer being I had morning sickness 24/7. However fixing the nausea problem causes other things. I noticed I started getting bad headaches only when taking zofran. Also my vision was blurry, and I was extremely tired. Zofran only worked for me if I was able to take before I started vomiting if I didn't the med didnt work. | F | 31 | 3 weeks 8mg | 11/28/2012 | 5 | Bacterial gastroenteritis | Sleepiness. I loved it. This drug is so effective for nausea. Stops it dead in its tracks in less than an hour. Way better than phenergan!!! | F | 25 | 3 days 80 mg | 11/22/2012 | 3 | Nausea | I had two episodes of severe stomach cramps while taking this drug. The pain was excruciating, and I thought I was going to die from it. I was pregnant at the time, and childbirth had nothing on that pain. It was relieved when it turned out I had diarrhea. I believe it was from the long term use of the drug. I would still use it for occasional nausea relief, but not for regular use. | I worked somewhat for the nausea, but there are better drugs out there. If you are nauseous and need to function during the day, Zofran is the way to go. | M | 26 | 21 days 3X day | 5/5/2012 | 5 | Nausea | None really. | It really helped out the nausea. | M | 49 | 8 days 2X day | 3/5/2012 | 5 | Post-surgical nausea | Slight drowsiness, but that may have been due to morphine. | Was given 8mg of generic ondansetron by IV prior to surgery; experienced no nausea or vomiting afterward despite previously having severe nausea from opioid painkillers. | M | 30 | 1 days 8 mg 1X day | 1/23/2012 | 4 | Nauseau due to stomach virus | Little dizziness, and tiredness but helped stop vommiting except once after I took it I threw up within 10 min. | F | 13 | 3 days 1-2 x D | 12/15/2011 | 5 | Hyperemesis for pregnancy | amazing drug, NO side effects. Never seen a more effective anti-nausea medicine | F | 37 | 9 months 10 3X day | 4/5/2011 | 5 | Debilitating nausea | Headache, constipation | Almost the perfect miracle drug. Helps my nausea so much. The headache sucks for sure but it's far better than vomiting. | F | 27 | 1X day | 12/29/2010 | 5 | Nausea | None! | This is an amazing drug! It dissolves under your tongue so you don't have to swallow it or drink anything to take it! Don't have to worry about throwing it up (like Dramamine or Phenergan)before it works. Also, it works almost immediately since you dissolve it under the tongue. Dramamine (Less Drowsy Formula) is great too but it takes about 20 minutes to work so I recommend Zofran for quick relief of nausea/vomiting. A friend of mine takes Zofran for her nausea/vomiting with migraines and it works wonders for her too! | F | 31 | 3 days ? 1X day | 9/17/2010 | 5 | Nausea from Stomach virus | None | The most amazing drug I have ever taken...my hero drug! I had the worst stomach flu ever and was running to the bathroom to throw up every 30 minutes...I seriously thought I was going to die. My doc gave me this drug and within 1 hour of taking it, my stomach got better...still a little bit nausous but went from dying to feeling pretty darn good within 1 hour! | M | 48 | 4 days 1X day | 8/4/2010 | 4 | nausea | No adverse side effects | I'm taking Zofran and it is working great. I had to call around and found a HUGE difference in price for it. I was quoted over $350 at Walgreens for the highest and $18 at Costco. I about passed out over the difference. The same dose, the same drug, the same amount (30 pills). I recommend anyone who has to take it to call around and price check. If there is not a Costco close to you, I would mail order it with that type of savings. I'm also upset with Walgreens who I have used pretty much my whole life for marking up this drug out of my reach where I have to drive two hours to get it at a reasonable price. | F | 41 | 3 days 4mg 2X day | 8/1/2010 | 5 | Post Operative Nausea | None except for a faster and far more pleasant recovery. | This is the most amazing drug to prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery. I have had 6 surgeries over the past 5 years and would have been miserable without it. AMAZING! | F | 27 | 2X day | 4/20/2010 | 5 | nausea from neurological conditions | Very few. Occasional fatigue/sleepiness, unsteadiness, and constipation, but usually very slight. | Amazing drug! I've taken it for years since a brain surgery, and it's a life saver. It also worked perfectly when I had a horrible case of gastroenteritis--phenergan did a good job but made me incredibly spacey, loopy, and high as a kite. With Zofran, hardly any side effects! | F | 24 | 8 years | 10/12/2009 | 5 | nausea during pregnancy | none! | i was completely MISERABLE before this was prescribed to me. it is definitely the only thing keeping me going. i love it! | F | 17 | 3 days | 10/6/2009 | 5 | Nausea | Wonder drug!! Phenergan just throws me for a loop and I can't function. I don't think phenergan takes away nausea, I think it just knocks you out so u don't know you're nauseated! Zofran is great! No side effects at all! I take it for a pretty messed up GI tract and wether I take it once a month or every 4-6 hours, it works! I could not live a normal life without it! I'm lucky my insurance covers every penny of it! It is more than worth the price though! If a doc tries to prescribe you phenergan, ask for zofran instead! You'll be glad you did! | F | 25 | 3 years | 9/12/2009 | 1 | chemo nausea | None | Tried taking for chemo nausea. Supposed to be the "wonder drug" for chemo patients. Didn't do anything for me. On chemo for 1 1/2 years. | F | 37 | 4 times | 8/6/2009 | 5 | Chemotherapy nausea | None. It's fantastic!! | I'm certain I would have quickly wasted away and died with out this medication. I was administered a couple of doses of a cheaper anti-nausea medication for my first chemotherapy treatment and I vomited so much I lost 20 pounds in about 5 days. After my second (of 16) treatments I began taking Zofran with each round of chemo and it allowed me to live a normal life. I even attended rock concerts and went dancing at nightclubs on the same day as my VERY INTENSE chemotherapy treatment. I never felt nauseous or vomited once during the 8 months I was on Zofran. | F | 23 | 8 months | 3/7/2009 | 2 | Severe nausea due to pregnancy | Major pain in kidneys that lasted about 5 hours after taking Zofran. Could not walk or stand. | M | 34 | 3 days | 11/26/2008 | 5 | nausea during pregnancy | mild constipation (drank a lot of water which helped this 'move along') | Had extreme nausea while pregnant and got this prescribed from my doctor. I had another medication too, but it made me very drowsy and I was unable to function. Zofran did not make me drowsy at all and I was able to work. Using Zofran I still had an iffy feeling in my stomach, but I am still giving it such a high rating, becuase I do not know what I would have done without the medication. It made an unbearable time, bearable. The medication is however very expensive and I am still fighting to get money back from the insurance. | F | 40 | 2.5 months | 7/10/2008 |
