I had my first treatment on Wednesday and felt nauseous. After getting home I took Zofran which seemed to help. For my second treatment I told the medical staff of the nausea and they then gave me Zofran thru my IV. This time it didn't help. It is now Sunday and I am still feeling nauseous. I am taking Zofran every 4 hours but it is not helping. Is this a result of the ECT or might there be an underlying cause?
She said what saved her was meditation and exercise, she works out at least 1/2 hour in the morning. Realizing the you will have mood swings, depression and w/d will help. make sure your doctor is aware of your meds (I'm talking the OB doc) so that they keep a good eye on your symptoms, you will be a higher risk for Post partum depression. Take care god speed!
But I had asked the pharmacist how safe is it really to be taking while pregnant bc my Dr had prescribed me Zofran and then I started seeing all the stuff ab it causing birth defects. All the pharmacist said was that the benefits to me from the zoloft outweigh the risks for the baby. What the hell is that even supposed to mean?
Some of them have tried other anti nausea meds and Zofran seems to work for most people. I have used it to manage nausea after chemo treatments.
Zofran
Why is this medication prescribed?
Zofran (ondansetron) is used to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by cancer chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. Ondansetron is in a class of medications called serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonists.
no not me i just wakeup hungry lol but dont stress about it your doing fine nothing to worry about think positive☺
m exhausted, unmotivated, and generally feel awful all the time. Between the morning (or all day) sickness and headaches from the zofran...I just feel like I'm dragging all the time. I don't feel depressed, as I have struggled with depression in the past I know what that feels like. I just don't feel like myself. Anyone else experience this?
If that does not work, then you probably need a prescription for Zofran which blocks the nausea and vomiting (which is caused by the drugs). Many of us used Zofran. It works very well for most of us. I took 8 mg every 8 hours for a few months.
Don't let this go. It will snowball. If the phenergan does not work, then ask for Zofran. Zofran does not make you sleepy. Phenergan does. Phenergan is cheaper, but Zofran works better (in my opinion). It is used to treat the nausea from Chemo.
I took zofran and my baby girl is happy and healthy. I suffered from HG as well and it was the only thing that kept me from being on a feeding tube. Sometimes you have to choose the lesser of 2 evils. After spending an average of 3 days a week for months in the hospital trying to take other meds and try other remedies I finally gave in. Do what works for you and know that this will pass eventually.
I ended up having a friend take me to the ER about a week ago because I was feeling so awful I could not calm down. At the hospital they gave me morphine, pepcid, and zofran via IV. I had not been able to sleep or eat at all. Upon leaving the ER, I received two prescriptions; one for zofran and one for pepcid.
Me top and nothing works not crackers juice mints the zofran I'm sick as heck but soon it shall pass
My midwives suggested these for my depression and its help a ton! Take a very large amount of dha fish oil. I recommend Nordic natural brand, strawberry flavor. I take 1200mg. Also, I started taking a prenatal yoga class. I suggest either that or water aerobics. Exercise will save you and the social aspect is truly important. Cut out the craps food and focus on good nutrition. Some days are still tough but its way better than it was! Hang in there. Im here for you too.
How many of you ladies are still taking zofran? My morning sickness is terrible. I'm 15 weeks and I throw up at least 5 times a day unless I take zofran and I've tried everything else and nothing works. But I know my doctor like personally and she assured me that it was safe and if it were her she would take it. I've lost about 30 pounds and only gained back 7 so she's worried about my weight. And I've lost it because of nausea. So how many Andre still taking it?
zofran is safe :). there are 2 nausea medicines that are considered safe for pregnancy, and zofran sounds like the better choice for you (since phenergan makes you sleepy, and that's the other option, i think it would freak you out!). every medicine is going to carry warnings, and there will be people who SWEAR that this medicine caused this or that...but that's the internet for you. it is considered safe, and your OB only prescribed it because they felt it was safe....
I am 14 weeks pregnant and my morning sickness has suddenly increased very bad I called thr dr today and the nurse gave me a prescription for zofran so far it's helped me and it says there are no side effects to me and my baby but some thing I was reading online says about causing cleft palates has anyone else taken this and is your baby perfectly fine?
Hello. I had to take it with my first pregnancy and it was amazing. I had awful morning sickness and it was the only thing that helped. I didn't experience any side effects.
