"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!!!!"

"After horrible all-day nausea (no vomiting), I was prescribed Diclegis by my doctor. It felt like a miracle drug. I was able to enjoy life again and not be bedridden from severe nausea. I remember looking the drug up online before I got it, and I hesitated to try it based on reviews - DON'T. It works differently for everyone. I tried every natural remedy. This was the only thing that made the biggest difference - I would still feel some nausea towards the end of the day, but it was a night-and-day difference from before. I was not drowsy, as I feared on this drug, and I've been able to wean off it (took 4 a day, then just 2 every evening) after 13 weeks. STOP reading reviews and just try it."

"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."

"After 5 weeks of uncontrollable vomiting and severe dehydration, I was admitted to the hospital for a week for hyperemesis. They gave me Zofran, which helped with nausea, but after research I decided to stop that, and then my OB then prescribed Diclegis. It’s not as strong as Zofran, no, but it has definitely helped me keep things down!!!"

"Very helpful for me. I was so sick for the first trimester and throughout my pregnancy. You have to take the meds and get it in your system first. Taking it in the morning and evening, it works like a charm, at least for me. As long as I took it, I wasn’t sick."
