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 am 9 weeks pregnant and have had horrible nausea and sometimes vomiting. Zofran helped, but is linked to heart defects in the babies, so I was put on Phenergan, which helped but still didn't stop the nausea, which is when my OB put me on Bonjesta. Turns out, I had no idea what nausea, dizziness, and gut-wrenching vomiting were until I started taking this medication! It made my symptoms so much worse. I've heard good things about it but want to let people know it does not work for everyone! I have settled on Phenergan, it keeps my nausea at a reasonable level, and I rarely vomit. Please stop taking Bonjesta if you're getting dizzy and sick to your stomach!"

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "Bonjesta helped immediately. After dealing with nausea and vomiting starting at week 5, I realized it would have been impossible to get myself out of bed and into work. I wasn’t able to keep water down. Was dehydrated. Weak. My doctor prescribed this immediately, and it got rid of probably 90% of the nausea and vomiting."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "Well, I came to the comments hoping it wasn’t just me, haha! I started Bonjesta at 13 weeks, and honestly, I passed out the first night (can’t have nausea if you’re knocked out), so now I’m on day 4. It doesn’t put me out, but it’s like it amped it up. I’ve thrown up 3-4 times a day, and as soon as I put food on my tongue, I get gaggy and chills and end up not eating. I’ve been living on crackers and chips, then I throw those up. I tried a smoothie yesterday and ended up puking it all back up. Please tell me it’s almost over, lol."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "10/10 I've had terrible nausea and vomiting since week 6, currently in week 11. Two nights ago, I forgot my pill ONE night, and the next AM, projectile vomiting. What does this tell me? This WORKS, and I will make sure I don't miss another dose as I feel great when I do take it."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I take one Bonjesta pill at night before bed. This medication is the only medicine that has helped with my extreme morning sickness. When I take the pill at night, I feel less nauseated in the morning. I can eat more, and I am not vomiting as much. I feel more like myself. I went from being sick 100% of the day to 20% or less some days. Definitely worked for me."

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 "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 "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."
