For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I had morning sickness since I was 8 weeks pregnant. I had my first ObGyn visit at 12 weeks. In 4 weeks, I lost 11 lbs. :-( I felt miserable. I did not know there was medication to prevent nausea. My doctor prescribed Diclegis. I started 2 pills before sleeping, 1 pill in the morning, and another in the afternoon. It was magic and amazing. When I reached 20 weeks, I started feeling sick again, nauseous and dizzy, and shaking. I thought maybe I was doing overdose. I went down to 1 pill at night to sleep and I feel GREAT ALL DAY!!! Amazing... And I am currently 26 weeks and I still use it because I skipped one day and I felt horrible. Tip: if you skip or miss a pill at night, take one at any time and you will feel better. I love Diclegis."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I was prescribed this by my OB-GYN and began the medicine as instructed with 2 at night and 1 the next morning. I woke up in the morning feeling angry and frustrated and was taking it out on my 2-year-old and husband. I continued about my morning and took my daughter to daycare and realized something was not right about me. I was dizzy and feeling groggy and irritated. I was out of it for the rest of the day. I discontinued using the medicine and called my OB-GYN the next day, who told me I had a bad reaction to the medicine. Bad stuff for me and now still living with the nausea and sickness versus feeling all of that from the medicine."

For Nausea/Vomiting "Diclegis didn't help me with my severe nausea and morning sickness. Just in two days, I threw up two times, nothing but blood! As its side effects, dizziness and stomach ache added to my morning sickness as well. I stopped taking it today, and my doctor prescribed Zofran for me, which I've started taking since noon. I got better in less than 30 minutes with that! OMG! Can't believe that I feel normal again."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I have been taking this medicine for about 3 weeks, and it barely works for me. It actually caused severe drowsiness, dry mouth, and dizziness. At first, I chalked all that up to pregnancy till I figured it was the medicine causing this. I accidentally missed one dose, and I felt horrible. The one of not many good things about this pill is it's so small, so it doesn't interfere with my inability to swallow huge horse pills. I will be asking my OB-GYN for another medication so I can at least be awake throughout the day."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "A total waste! It was way too expensive, but if it worked, it would have been worth it! Got it, took two the first night. Could not keep my eyes open the next day. Day two took one at night and didn’t work at all, so the next day took two before eating dinner and went to sleep super early... It landed me in the hospital! My heart was rushing, I was throwing up, I was dizzy, and almost passed out! This is just a fancy B6!"
