For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I started having extreme nausea and vomiting at around 6 weeks pregnant. There was a point where just thinking about food would make me nauseous. Obviously, I had to force myself to eat because of the pregnancy, but I knew it wasn't going to last, I just threw it back up. I would vomit 2 times a day and feel nauseous the whole day. My OB told me about Bonjesta, I would take anything at this point. Turns out my insurance didn't cover it, it would be $700+ out of pocket. I literally started crying because I was so tired of feeling the way I was feeling. But luckily, I got a prior approval, and immediately after taking it, I was able to keep my dinner down for the first time. I am on day 3 and currently have not thrown up or experienced nausea like I had been. It does make you really tired, but I'd rather feel tired and fight through it than be nauseous all day and have the horrible feeling of hunger but not eat from fear of throwing up."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I was put on Bonjesta at 10 weeks pregnant. I was put on Zofran first and took it for a week with no help, then Phenergan for a week, same thing. The only thing I could stomach was a banana a day and a sip or two of ice-cold water or Sprite. I was puking and vomiting every single day. I had lost 12 lbs from lack of eating and constant puking. Bonjesta's been a lifesaver. I've been able to eat. The only side effect I've had is tiredness. Taking it at night has been the best for me. I'm so happy to be back to 'normal.' I am able to be full now, along with knowing I'm getting and giving the baby the food, vitamins, and nutrients it needs. If you're losing weight while pregnant, constantly puking and sick, and can't eat, I highly suggest talking about Bonjesta with your OB and see if it may work for you."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "Was extremely nauseous and was put on Zofran. Still had nausea, so my doctor suggested I try Bonjesta. So far, it has made my nausea manageable and even nonexistent at times. I have gained the weight back that I had lost from not being able to eat. The worst part is the tired feeling, but I will take that over the intense nausea any day. It does make my heart pound, but nothing that wasn’t already listed in side effects."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "With my first daughter 5 years ago, I had pretty bad nausea but managed to get through it without needing any medication. This time around was a completely different story. I really tried to not take any medicine, but after two days of being unable to consume any food, it was time (I was 6 weeks). My doctor prescribed me Bonjesta and warned me it would make me tired. Boy, was she right! I took this the first night around 9 pm, woke up the next day, and within 2 hours, I had to lay back down for a 3-hour nap. The nausea has mostly gone away, but tonight it came back. I haven’t been taking it twice a day yet as I’m afraid I’ll be a zombie, but I think I might need to. Works great for the morning sickness, but I just wish it didn’t make me so tired! Also, this is expensive. My insurance covered $600+, but I still had to pay about $135 out of pocket."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I’m 10 weeks pregnant and started getting nausea at 6 weeks. I was prescribed Zofran initially, and that didn’t really help. Now on Bonjesta, and it’s an improvement. I do have to take it morning and evening, but it helps keep the nausea under control and sometimes takes it away completely. It’s still a bit of a struggle because it does make you more tired, but I’ll take it. Anything but this nausea, please."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I wanted to feel better with Bonjesta. My doctor prescribed it at 7 weeks, and I have taken it twice a day, but I still throw up twice a day, and I'm almost at 14 weeks. This also makes you extremely tired and sleepy."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "After taking this medication for a week, it immediately causes me to projectile vomit upon taking. Getting off of it! While I was on it, I still got severe night sickness and was tired all the time."
