ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting: This is amazing! I was vomiting all day, to the point where I was only dry heaving. I went to minor ER and they gave me one ondansetron to dissolve under my tongue, and I haven't vomited since. I'm finally able to eat and keep food down, and I've had no side effects.
Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: Currently popular in ER's, it has had no effect. Once they have given maximum number of dosages and I am still actively vomiting. Finally I get old fashioned Phenergan and then things turn around.

Zofran ODT (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I've been taking ondansetron ODT 8mg tabs for about 2 days due to nausea caused by a kidney infection. When I take the tablet it doesn't help and makes me more nauseous than I was before. I just took it a half hour ago to be sure, and I immediately became more nauseous. So I'm pretty sure it just doesn't work for me, and I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem?
Zofran ODT (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: Went into the ER for the stomach flu. I had been sick for 4 days without eating a thing. I was severely dehydrated and was fainting. They gave me I.V and a dissolve-able pill of Ondansetron (4mg). I was finally able to stop vomiting after 4 days. I still can't eat other than broth but thankfully the vomiting stopped.
Zofran ODT (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I have severe nausea and vomiting due to an extreme case of endometriosis. I have to be hospitalized because of pain, weakness and dehydration because of severe vomiting. I can't even hold down a tiny sip of water for 2 mins. I have tried every medication possible and
Zofran ODT is the only thing that gives me relief! It is a prescription I always have on hand at all times.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: My daughter was experiences a constant unexplained ache in her stomach and a feeling that she was going to throw up, that no stomach test could find. 3 months later an MRI showed she had an AVM in her brain. Surgery to repair took all symptoms away. 3 years later she started having the same feelings. Found out the feeling of throwing up was the aura before partial seizures they didn't know she was having. Still was having the gnawing ache. One amazing doctor suggested Zofran...it was our miracle. She has been fine ever since.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting, Chemotherapy Induced: Overall, it has been the best anti-emetic available for chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. The downfall is gastric slowdown-- which can become more pronounced if on vinca alkaloid chemo or opioids.
Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I can't say enough about Zofran. I was curled in a fetal position in front of the bathroom, on the floor, in a cold sweat after vomiting for the last two hours. The last bout was dry heaving. Still the nausea was crippling me. My wife gave me one pill and within 30 minutes the hell I was going through broke like an ocean tide receding. I keep Zofran in the medicine cabinet now, at all times.

Zofran ODT (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I am pregnant and have been suffering from severe nausea and vomiting. I have been taking Zofran for about 25 weeks. The disolving tablet doesn't have an affect on me. I can't keep it down, even after half an hour I will throw up the medication. The rare times I can hold it down, it has no affect on me.
ondansetron for Nausea/Vomiting: It helps. I get a really distinct nausea in the night, maybe once a month. I know it when I wake up feeling sick and then my whole body starts to heat up. I take Zofran right away. I still have episodes of almost vomiting, dry heaves I guess, but it keeps it down. Takes a few hours for the symptoms to subside-usually means I'm up half the night, but I'm terrified of throwing up so this is one of the best prevention medicines. This and ginger tea are my go-to remedies. That said, if I don't fully sleep it off I end up with a hangover in the morning.

Zofran ODT (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: Whole family in hospital for stomach virus with severe nausea and vomiting every half hour. This medicine completely stops the nausea within minutes! It definitely gives you headaches and makes you sleepy, but this is a small price to pay to stop the nausea when you are in that situation.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I am type 1 diabetic and have been having symptoms of gastroparesis. Zofran coupled with erythromycin has been the only thing to give me relief. After being sick/vomiting for the past 5 weeks on and off, it is nice to be back to some sort of normality.

Although the Tylox helped tremendously with the pain, I would get the nauseous feeling and vomit even when I ate before taking Tylox.

Zofran (ondansetron) for Nausea/Vomiting: I first used this med while going through chemotherapy for cancer. It was the third or fourth medication that my oncologist prescribed after unsatisfactory results with the previous. Zofran capsules worked to control my chemotherapy-induced nausea. Most recently I had it given via IV in the ER for viral nausea. I was sent home with a prescription for Zofran ODT which seems to work even better.
