I have had nausea and been vomiting for one year and one month, I am 16 and I have spent 90% of my life the past 1.1 year/mo in bed sick. The last month, FINALLY, after so many medications...THIS, WAS IT. I am still being tested as no one knows what is wrong, that is causing me to be so sick...BUT Zofran has made so I can get SOME relief, I am grateful.

The side effects from various drugs, particularly morphine caused signficant nausea. In fact, I'd have to rate the nausea as worse than the actual pain. Zofran worked like a charm, quite quickly, with little side effects (as far as I know). It certainly made my recent visit to the hospital much more comfortable!

This really is a life saver. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and have cripling morning sickness. So bad that I could not eat or drink anything for over a week. As soon as I took one pill I became 100000000 times better. I would recommend this pill to anyone. I love it. 10 out of 10 in my book.

Until my doctor gave me Zofran, I was one of the millions of women who suffered terrible morning sickness. It was so bad, in fact, that I couldn't work. The first day I took it, I became dizzy, but the vomiting stopped. The dizziness was gone by the second day. It did cause constipation and I was hungry all the time. By the second trimester, I went off of it and found that my bowel movements returned to normal and my appetite had returned to somewhat normal.
It definitely serves its purpose during the first trimester.

I have had constant nausea for SEVEN years related to gastroparesis and Meniere's disease (an inner ear disorder causing severe vertigo and nausea). I was finally offered Zofran on my last emergency room trip (I told the doctor if they didn't do something I was going to go insane)... Zofran has been a lifesaver and I never go anywhere without it. And I mean that. It works like magic every time I need it. The longest it has ever taken to kick in is 45 minutes. I can't say enough good things about it. 100% thumbs up.

This morning at about 1 am I was admitted to ER with uncontrollable vomiting. Literally within seconds of the Zofran injection, the nausea was gone, which says a lot because I was actively vomiting when the injection was given. God bless the men and women who developed this drug. It truly is a miracle.

I took this drug when I was pregnant. I was Vomiting so much I had to be hospitlized at least 4 times and had to have in house IV treatments. Once I took this drug I was able to go back to work. The only problem was my insurance stopped covering the drug.

This drug has saved my life at least once. I took it when I was pregnant and had unrelenting morning sickness that wasn't helped by any other medications. I'm now taking it again for nausea caused by severe pain (as well as the nausea caused in turn by pain medications, as I seemingly can't win on that one). But perhaps most importantly, it was the only drug that got me out of opiate withdrawal when I had the stomach flu. Without this, I would have been in the hospital because I couldn't otherwise keep anything down and without opiate therapy the withdrawal and the pain combined could easily have killed me. The only possible drawback is cost; even the generic would be completely out of reach for someone without insurance.

I was given this medicine for morning sickness. I took only 2mg in the morning, and had no nausea/vomitting for 24 hours. The only side effect was that it made my lips chapped.

I began having severe nausea and dry heaving during my pregnancy. Doctor prescribed Zofran, and within minutes the buzz of nausea was gone. Instant relief. It really took the edge off. I highly recommend Zofran.

I was given Zofran for ALL DAY morning sickness during pregnancy. It works very well, but causes constipation, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. If I wait at least 12 or more hours between doses the side affects are milder and the nausea is almost completely gone. Before I had this drug I was miserable and missing work.

Zofran is without a doubt the best drug out there for nausea. Most doctors want to prescribe the older medicines because they are cheaper but Zofran is the best.

I have suffered with migraines for years; with them comes nausea and vomiting. I have just started taking,"zofran", twice. Thank goodness it has helped. I was tired of suppositories.

I've had severe morning sickness with both of my pregnancies. No other medication worked. I've been off work for a week, unable to get out of bed. After only two days on this drug I can finally start living again.
Being pregnant, the morning sickness is horribe! I leave my dissolving Zofran on my night stand so before I get out of bed in the morning I take one and I am set for the whole day! If not, I barely make it to the kitchen for my decaf coffee without spewing up a whole lot of nothing. Thanks doctor, I love this medicine. The only downside is that it tastes horrible, but it dissolves so fast it is MUCH better than the alternative.
Was prescribed this medicine for morning sickness which lasted the entire first trimester of my pregnancy. Worked great, I was able to function and without feeling dopey or drowsy. The only drawbacks were the terrible headaches and expense of the drug, with insurance it was $50. The headaches were a welcome trade-off to feeling like death for 90 days.
