zofran

4601190 tn?1357338863 switch to zofran. I've been on both nd zofran had less side effects.
Avatar f tn My first pregnancy (in which I ended up miscarrying) my doctor tried me on phenergan and 2 other kinds of nausea pills. I honestly didn't like the way phenergan made me feel, all it did was put me to sleep and then when I woke up id be sick as a dog again. But with this pregnancy (I'm 33w+4d), for the first 5 months I couldn't eat or drink anything without it coming back up and I actually lost weight.
10033740 tn?1458081962 I'm 8wks and have had morning sickness for 3wks non stop, I could no longer take it anymore, none of the remedies were helping so I went to the ER today because I don't have an appt wit the gyn until the 16th. The Dr prescribed phenergan & I'm a bit surprised. I thought zofran was usually the drug of choice for pregnant women. Anyone else taking phenergan??
Avatar f tn Phenergan is safe, but will make you very sleepy. I like to take it before bed if I'm nauseous. Zofran is alot better throughout the day. Doctor also gave me Reglan but I've held off on taking it I've heard too many bad things about it.
Avatar f tn t working that well, but our insurance said no because it is much more expensive. There is a generic Zofran now but it also is way more expensive than Phenergan and Compazine. I should have added that Joe didn't do all that much actual vomiting but he had lots of dry heaves. We tried some of the ginger cures also but no miracles there. I didn't give him ginger capsules because they are blood thinning and Joe's platelets are so low that I don't want to mess with that.
Avatar n tn If you can afford it, stick with zofran. Phenergan works well but it makes you super sleepy and it also increases the bad side effects of narcotics- like dizziness and light-headedness. Same with phenergan's cousin, compazine. There's reglan as well, but to me it doesn't work as well. If you are taking the opiates for short-term treatment for something like post-surgical pain, phenergan or zofran are likely to be your best options....
Avatar f tn I've never heard of that being perscribed in pregnancy, I take zofran and or phenergan ...
Avatar f tn Hi. I am 40. 8 weeks. Was losing almost a lb a day. I'm on zofran now. Are any of you on it too? Has it helped?
Avatar f tn 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....
Avatar f tn Talk to Ur doctor about nausea meds. They usually give zofran. So far I've taken zofran, reglan and phenergan. Phenergan makes You tired, So I've been taking That recently Because I'm 24 weeks, still puking and getting nauseous and I'm in pain from The position The baby Sometimes lays in. So It helps to relieve The nausea and helps me sleep too. But zofran works really good For nausea and doesn't make You sleepy.
Avatar f tn I am on Zofran and Phenergan! ! The Zofran I puked up the Phenergan puts me to sleep! Thank you all for your advice and tips. I am excited yo try thrm.
Avatar f tn I'm 13w3d, but had horrible nausea. It's starting to get better, but not gone completely. My doctor started me with b6 & unisom. Take together at night & helps with sleep. Helped some, but not enough. Was prescribed phenergan & zofran (not to take together). Zofran I haven't taken, but have heard it's amazing. Also heard a horrible side effect is constipation, so I stuck with phenergan.
Avatar f tn HI there! I'm sorry to hear you're going through a rough time. The thing is, Paxil is a notoriously tough antidepressant to come off. There are horror stories everywhere about people having a heck of a time, and even experiencing protracted w/d syndrome, which is basically a very long, drawn out w/d. The VERY best way to discontinue Paxil is to do a SLOW and gradual taper.
Avatar f tn If the phenergan is not working call the doc and get a script for ZOFRAN, its more expensive but it works when phenergan doesnt. Zofran does not make you sleepy like phenergan. Phenergan has a nasty side effect of lowering peoples blood pressure.
1201433 tn?1328997637 I just want to say it is like night and day since they gave me a script for some , started today, I was up all last night vomiting, do not suffer ask your doctor for some!!
Avatar f tn I was prescribed Promethazine (generic for Phenergan) & it helped me a lot.. the only downside, at least for me, was it made me extremely sleepy!
Avatar f tn Honestly i don't know of anything else besides zofran and phenergan, and phenergan is alot worse about making you sleepy. Have you asked your doctor about maybe cutting your pills in half? I dont know how well it will work with the hypermesis, as nothing worked for mine. But it may help you. Also you may be able to do b6 with half a zofran and it have the same effect, just not as tiring.
Avatar f tn She is tonite extrememly ill with nausea and headache . Zofran nor Emend bring relief. I take Zofran prn during chemo, along with the E the first 3 days and have not had much of a problem. Is there something else out there aside fro Compazine, Zofran, Emend that she may speak to Doc about? Thanks in advance.
1454858 tn?1306784378 ve read about though. Some women with HG have Zofran pumps they use and their babies come out fine. Zofran is also rated safer than Phenergan (It has a class C rating) and my daughter came out perfect even with how much I had to take. Don't let it get too bad though. No need to feel sick if you have the capabilities to feel better.
14346590 tn?1451854557 So has anyone taken zofran while pregnant? I try to stay away from all medicine except my vitamins but the other night I ate something and I'm guessing my baby really didn't like it because I've been kind of sick since then but the other night the nausea was unbearable so I took one.
Avatar f tn Phenergan, zofran, ginger, something with not a whole lot of flavor, ******* pops, sipping on ice cold water, sucking on ice, etc.. I had severe vomiting while pregnant(there's a medical term for it) and had to do all of that for the first 5 months! They even gave me the Phenergan and told me to put it up my butt bc it would help better... embarrassing!
Avatar f tn I am still getting sick on a daily basis, I'm prescribed phenergan but I still puke once daily which isn't a huge deal, but any suggestions as far as helping with nausea when I am out of my medication?
Avatar f tn Ive had morning sickness before,but this time ive had to be put in the er twice for iv fluids. The dr put me on zofran but without that im sol....any one else have a similar problem?
Avatar f tn I was taking Zofran my first pregnancy from 4 wks right when I had found out to 6-7 months and my daughter was perfectly healthy. So far this pregnancy I have been on it since 7 wks and still taking it at 22 wks and my baby boy is growing big and healthy. It is bs that they called you, I would of went off.
Avatar f tn My dr gave me 2 different types of nausea medicine. The zofran and phenergan. I took the phenergan at night and the zofran before every meal. That was the only little bit of ease I got! Once I hit 16 weeks I was all better. I work still throw up once every two weeks. That didnt bother me. As long as it wasn't morning and night. And now that I'm 32 weeks 4 days I'm throwing up all over again. Haha I had to pull the phenergan out again the other night. But now ill only do it at night.
Avatar n tn My nausea and vomiting just faded 5 days ago (week 15) I was miserable 24/7 up until now and lost 30 pounds total. Prescription Zofran and Phenergan helped but ended up making me so bloated and constipated bc I required them around the clock I actually had to stop taking them bc I started feeling worse from the pressure. Just fight through it! hopefully you're almost over this!
Avatar n tn That's the other thing I've take Zofren.. Hmm i might try phenergan..
Avatar f tn Sorry to hear! I was sick until about 22wks & still have bouts of it, but has gotten better. My doc first told me to take unisom & b6 at night. That helped, but phenergan was my rescue. Other options I tried were zofran (can cause bad constipation) & diclegis (specifically for pregnancy nausea), all from my doctor.
