 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

 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

 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

 4  Severe morning sickness Severe constipation, headaches Zofran is helping me tremendously with my morning sickness. This is my second pregnancy - with my first pregnancy, I was so sick that Zofran didn't seem to really help me, but I definitely notice an improvement with this one. I do have to eat Activia yogurt with Benefiber to combat the constipation, which is severe, let me tell you. But having to address that is better than throwing up and feeling so incredibly nauseous all day long. F 32 7 days

 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

 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

 4  Indigestion and Chronic nausea Headache (but this only happened on the first few times I took it) and drowsiness It doesn't completely knock out the nausea, but it definitely takes the edge off. It does cause some drowsiness, but nowhere near the level that phenergan causes. Phenergan used to make it very difficult for me to wake up, but this doesn't give me a problem with waking.

 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

 2  nausea due to stomach virus4 dizziness, skin tingling stomach pain, light headed, disoriented, muscle contractions, tremors I have taken the SL in past with no problems. Felt that this was truly a great drug. When it works it is fantastic. I am not sure what happen this time. It was the oral tablets and not the sublingual and I am not sure if that makes a difference.
