For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "This is my first pregnancy, and I have been extremely nauseated, which started at week 6. At 8 weeks, I was vomiting 3-4 times a day. I am currently 10 weeks, and my doctor prescribed me Bonjesta, which has worked like a gem! I am forever grateful that there is a safe and effective method for women experiencing these symptoms throughout their pregnancy. I am hoping that as I move into the 12-14 week phase, I will no longer have to rely on this medication, but in the meantime, I will continue to take it in order to function. It did make me extremely drowsy at first, but now that I take it on a regular basis as prescribed, my body has become somewhat adjusted. I typically take it in the evenings before bed."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "This is my 5th pregnancy, and I always have nausea, but not technically severe because I don’t vomit. But this time I have been nauseous pretty much 24/7 with severe food aversions. I am 8 weeks, and we had a plane trip already scheduled, so I asked my doctor for something because I struggle with motion sickness even when I’m not pregnant. Oh my goodness, I have NEVER felt so good on an airplane in my life! My nausea is completely gone, and food sounds good again. Three days ago, looking at food magazines made me feel queasy. For me, drowsiness hasn’t been an issue either. They just gave me a sample of Bonjesta, but I think I’m going to ask for a prescription when we get home. I feel like myself again and like I can actually be there for my kids instead of just laying on the couch trying not to think about food."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "At first, I hated how drowsy this medication made me. The first dose, which I took at 9 p.m., knocked me out until around 3 p.m. the next day. But slowly, my downtime started to decrease more and more. Last night, I took it and went straight to bed around 10, and I woke up around 9:45. So that's improvement. I think it's worth it to keep taking it and seeing if your body gets used to the drowsiness because honestly, for me, it really helps with the nausea. Some days it's just barely there, others, it is almost non-existent. It totally makes morning sickness more bearable for me."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I had morning sickness all day long. It kicked in on week 6. It was unbearable. I tried Bonjesta for three days, and it took the edge off. I was disappointed because I was still super nauseous. I took a second pill on the fourth day. It made me so drowsy. After taking two, I went back to one a day. After a week on it, I feel so much better! My nausea was almost completely gone after a week, and it doesn’t make me drowsy anymore. If after a few days it doesn’t work, take a second pill one day just to get in your system and wait a week. It takes a week to work. It is worth it! You will feel good again."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "Came into severe morning sickness at 6th week of my 1st pregnancy. Lost my appetite; nauseous all day, every day. Nights were the worst because I would wake up every 20 minutes, feeling like I needed to vomit. I lost weight. I tried homeopathic remedies. Nothing worked. I was so worried that I would have to live like this for my whole pregnancy. My doctor prescribed Bonjesta. Within 20 minutes of taking the first pill, I felt drowsy, but my nausea already started subsiding. I will take drowsiness over nausea any day. I have to work hard to stay focused, but still, I am able to work and function and eat. I highly recommend Bonjesta. I still experience mild nausea from time to time, but nothing like before. I take 1 pill when I wake up in the AM, plus 1 pill at approximately 6:30 pm."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "This is my 2nd pregnancy, and the nausea and vomiting from the thought of food or taking prenatal pills was taking a toll on my mental. My doctor prescribed me Bonjesta. I took it a few nights, and the next day I had no morning sickness. It's working about 80% of the time, which is good. Just a huge caution: if you decide to take this during the day, make sure you have absolutely NOTHING to do. I made a mistake taking this at 2 pm in the afternoon, couldn't get up until about 8 pm. This pill put me on my butt! I fought the drowsiness as long as I could, but it won. It's now 11:45 pm, and I'm still tired. I will stick to taking this before bed."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "The nausea was absolutely unmanageable before Bonjesta. I was throwing up almost every day, and it was hard to eat anything. The drowsiness is real. The first few days, I had a hard time waking up before 10:00 a.m., and was sleepy again by 6:00 p.m. But, as many have said, I'll take the drowsiness over the nausea. At least I'm able to eat (still small meals, a little at a time, nothing with a ton of flavor) and stay hydrated. Also, my OBGYN gave me a coupon that brought the price down to $40. Otherwise, with insurance, it was $200 (no insurance closer to $800). So definitely ask for a coupon."
