For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "This was the only medication that helped me deal with morning sickness, that actually it was never just in the morning. I was sick all day and all night. It makes you sleepy, but it's not like you can't get out of bed. They tell you to take 2 before bed, another one in the morning, and one more at noon, but I'm just taking one before bedtime and one in the morning so I don't feel super sleepy, and it works perfectly for me! No more sickness, and I can eat anything I want :) Plus, it's super safe for the baby!"

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "So, the first time I took Diclegis, I was around 8 weeks pregnant, and it worked wonders. I couldn’t relate to negative feedback here, but now with my second pregnancy, it doesn’t work like the first time. I still throw up, I’m still nauseous, I hate the smell and sight of food, but I’m not going to say I’m as miserable as I was with my first pregnancy without this drug. Maybe because I’ve been here before, I know what to eat and what to avoid, or maybe it’s Diclegis working 20 percent only. I hate to say this, but ladies, it doesn’t work every time."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "The first time I took it, I took one pill upon waking up. I literally stayed in bed the entire day. I could hardly open my eyes, let alone lift my head off the pillow. Thank goodness it was a weekend, and I didn't have to work! I chalked it up to a bad morning sickness day and took two at bedtime that night. The next morning, it wasn't quite as bad, but it was still a struggle to get through the day. I wasn't nauseous, but I was so fatigued and sleepy, and just felt 'bad.' I realized it might be the Diclegis, so I didn't take any more after that. So now I'm back to all-day nausea (no vomiting), but at least I can function! I only recommend Diclegis if you've got major vomiting/HG. Otherwise, the side effects just aren't worth it."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "This medication works wonders! I can take it without having to eat something before, which was so helpful, considering I couldn't hold any food down! I lost more than 20 lbs due to vomiting and nausea. And getting into a moving vehicle was the worst! I take one in the morning and I feel good all day! I love it so much, lifesaver."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I know this doesn’t work for everyone, but before I started it, I was praying for twins because I didn’t think I could take another pregnancy. Since I started it, my whole experience has been completely different, and I feel amazing! Worth every penny!!"

For Nausea/Vomiting "This medication gave me my life back. I started it yesterday, and I do not need any more time to try it out to review it. I was throwing up so much that I had thoughts of suicide and/or termination of pregnancy... and we planned for this baby. Anyone who knows me knows those thoughts are insane for me, but I couldn't take another day of laying in bed throwing up. I was expecting to fall asleep and not wake up based on the comments, but I woke up completely fine at 6 a.m., and I took 2 pills before bed at 10 p.m. I was pretty tired until 11 a.m., but I will take tired ANY DAY over being sick and nauseous. I could sleep like crazy right now, but I will not stop taking these meds. It was $894 before insurance for 120 pills, and my copay was only $40!!!!"

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I have been feeling pretty nauseous all day (first trimester of pregnancy), and my healthcare provider gave me a sample of this drug to try. I wanted to share my experience, as all I've read are glowing reviews. Glad it's working for some people, but I have to imagine there are others who experienced something similar to me. I have taken it now for 3-4 days, which should have been enough time to get a feel for whether or not it works. It did absolutely nothing for my nausea. If anything, it made me feel worse. I was so tired I couldn't function. Had to lay down in the middle of the day for a few hours, feeling so tired and sick. I didn't take any last night, and today I feel better than I have since I started taking it!"

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I have been taking Diclegis since I was 11 weeks pregnant. Prior to that, I was vomiting maybe twice a day and felt nauseous all day long (except at night). The first time I took Diclegis, I was in HEAVEN!! I felt so good. I was able to go a full day not even thinking about feeling sick. I thought that would be the effect the whole time. Not! I am 3 weeks in with taking Diclegis, and it seems like the effect of it has worn off to a certain extent. I am back to feeling nauseous most of the day. I will say that the vomiting is still under control, but I vomit maybe once every 4-5 days (which is still progress). I am in my 14th week now, and I want to see how I will feel if I don't take the meds, but I'm scared, lol!"

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "This medicine works wonders! I was having severe nausea and vomiting every morning to the point I was losing so much weight. My doctor prescribed me Diclegis. I take 2 at night and one during the day because of how tired it makes me. Ever since I've been taking it, I've been able to hold down food and water, and I've also gained an appetite. Without these, I wouldn't be able to go to work. I love them!"

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "Used this med for my last two pregnancies under doctor's med advice. Hated it! All I could do while on this med was sleep. I felt high all the time, and my doctor didn't seem to believe me. Maker claims it doesn't affect the baby, however, I'm not convinced. The only time I felt any baby movement was when I stopped taking the medication. When I discontinued its use, I felt as if I was having withdrawals and was forced to continue it. I have four living children, of which 2 of them I took Zofran for nausea, and they were all born healthy. The last 2 pregnancies both ended up in losses. Both had all the genetic testing normal. 1 was 13 weeks, the other 21 weeks. I learned this drug was removed from the market for its dangers and reintroduced with minor changes made."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "This medicine makes me feel paralyzed. I felt fine the first night I took it, it clearly stopped my nighttime nausea. But by the morning, I literally could not lift my head off the pillow for hours. I tried driving and felt like I was in an awake coma. I immediately called my doctor and asked for my Zofran back that I took in my first and second pregnancy. I would not recommend this medicine to anyone unless you can and want to sleep all day and have no other responsibilities requiring you to wake up and care for yourself and others. Seriously, I want to treat nausea, not be in a coma. Thanks, but no thanks."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "This medication is the only medication on the market that has allowed me to live my normal life. I started taking it around twelve weeks pregnant because I was losing weight rapidly and couldn't even keep sips of water down. At first, I had to take two at night and one in the morning to function. I am now fourteen weeks and have been getting by on only two a day. I tried not taking any at all today, and I was great up until 9 pm, then I got so sick I threw my whole dinner up... unexpectedly. Immediately took two pills and now I feel much better. The only downside is how expensive this medication is. It cost me $186 per bottle of 100."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "So I took Diclegis for the first time last night after my doctor prescribed it. My first pregnancy, I was sick for all nine months, multiple times a day. I am now almost seven weeks with my second, and the nausea and vomiting are starting again. I took the pill around 7 pm, which may have been a little too early. I did notice about an hour after taking the pill I got some slight chest pains, but nothing too serious. I slept like a baby all night, only getting up once to use the bathroom around 5 am. The reason I gave the drug a rating of 7/10 is because of how I am feeling this morning. I have not had any nausea or vomiting, and have actually been able to eat a decent breakfast this morning. I am, however, stuck in this constant fog."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "Saved my life is an understatement. I suffered so badly with morning sickness with my first daughter, and Zofran didn’t work at all. I was sick the whole 8 months. With this pregnancy, I experienced HG again, but this medicine literally gives me my life back. It does make me a little sleepy, but I’ll take sleepy over nonstop heartburn and vomiting any day."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I am currently 7.5 weeks pregnant, and I started experiencing debilitating nausea at about six weeks. I've been taking Diclegis for a few days now (2 before bed and 1 more during the day if necessary), and it's helped quite a bit. My nausea has decreased between 60 and 80%, and my appetite is returning. I actually went out to dinner with friends last night and enjoyed myself! I have had some drowsiness, but I can still get through my work day OK. And thank goodness for my great prescription coverage - $40/100 tablets! I hope it continues to control my symptoms this well."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "This was a lifesaver for me. I had HG with 1st and was on Zofran only, which caused a lot of constipation and cramping from not being able to go. This second pregnancy, I had HG worse than 1st and was on Zofran and Diclegis. Diclegis took about 2 weeks of taking it 3 times a day to kick in, so Zofran helped until it kicked in. Now Diclegis is all I take 4 times a day and no constipation, and I finally enjoy being pregnant. It makes me tired, but it's good for me to relax since I'm a very active person. I only need a 30-minute catnap and I'm okay. I can still easily take care of my toddler, I just lay down when she does."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "Diclegis is by far the best medicine for morning sickness. I suffered with all my pregnancies (Hyperemesis Gravidarum), which is severe morning sickness. With this pregnancy, I was prescribed Diclegis, which works wonders. Not even drowsy! No nausea or vomiting. I love this medicine, it is a lifesaver and works great and is completely safe. Glad the FDA put it back on the market."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I am 7 weeks pregnant, my midwife gave me samples of Diclegis 5 days ago. Previous to trying them, I had nonstop nausea, vomiting, weakness, truly just felt like death! Day 1 of Diclegis, I was able to wake up, be semi-functional enough to where I was able to get ready for work pretty comfortably, but by mid-morning, all the symptoms came back. On day 3, I added 2 pills at night, 1 in the morning, and 1 in the afternoon, and I can tell you it is a miracle drug! It does take a few days to start working at its full capacity, but after the first few days, you feel almost back to normal! I would recommend this to anyone and everyone!"

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I started taking this during the first trimester. I'm usually against taking medicine, but I was so sick. So, I figured it was worth a try. At first, I didn't notice any change. I mean, I was still slightly sick. I was expecting the nausea to disappear completely like Zofran would have done. I kind of thought it wasn't working, so I decided to stop taking it... big mistake... my nausea was severe once I stopped taking it. I decided to give it another go. By comparison, I could tell that it was working. I still feel tired, and certain things still make me feel sick (like strong smells and certain foods), but I am nowhere near as sick as I would be if I stopped taking it. I can totally tell if I miss a dose."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "My first trimester of pregnancy has been entirely brutal. Nausea from the time I woke up until I fell asleep, and sometimes even waking up to vomit. Many days I vomited 4-5 times a day. This medicine is not a “cure-all,” but it has helped me immensely. The drowsiness in the mornings is difficult, but it was way less severe than my nausea. This medication has made me feel slightly human again. Many of my other terrible symptoms remain, but my nausea is under much better control with this drug."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I started Diclegis a few weeks ago for nausea. I'm now 11 weeks along and have had no sickness. It does cause drowsiness, so I only take 1 at night. Also, dry mouth for me, but it's worth not getting sick, especially if you have long work shifts."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "This medicine is awful! I’m 6 weeks pregnant with my 2nd pregnancy, and this was the first time I had experienced nausea. My doctor gave me some samples, and the first night was wonderful! After a couple of days, I noticed I was zombie-like and could hardly get out of bed! I felt delirious and drugged! I wouldn’t recommend this to anybody that works, has kids, or who doesn’t want to be groggy all day long!"

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I took three. 1 in the morning, 1 around 1 p.m., and the nausea didn't stop, so I took another one. My doctor said I should take 1 before every meal and 2 before bed or as needed. The label says take 2 pills before meals. My point being, it made me feel horrible. It made me feel drugged up. I didn't want to move, I felt like I want to throw up and go #2 and just get out of my body. I'm never taking that again. It's 9:30 p.m., and I still feel drugged up. This drug is an antihistamine and messes with your brain. I should've read about it before taking it. Although I'm 8 weeks pregnant and nauseous all day, and my doctor said it is given to all OB patients, so I trusted him."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "Third pregnancy, and Zofran wasn't cutting it for me. Midwife prescribed Diclegis - felt insanely better the next morning nausea-wise, but was super fatigued. If you miss a dose, it will rock your world. For the first few days, it knocked me out all night and made me feel sleepy all morning. Now I seem to be experiencing the insomnia/nightmares side effects, and it's not fun. I'm hoping in a couple of weeks I can wean off of it because I generally feel better a couple of weeks into the second trimester. Definitely think the nausea aid is worth the side effects, though - guess it all depends on how bad your nausea/vomiting is - and if this works for you!"

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I hate this drug! I feel exhausted all the time on it, and it does not help at all! My doctor told me I can no longer take Zofran during the first trimester due to a study that said there might be issues, so she put me on Diclegis first. I have tried it for 2 weeks and am absolutely miserable! I am still throwing up and have nausea all day and night. I have always had horrible morning sickness and was hoping this would work. Sadly, it does not, all it does is make me want to sleep all day long! To make things worse, even with my insurance covering most of the cost, it still costs over $80.00 for a month’s supply. That is crazy!"
