"I have gastritis and am going through a flare-up now. Very sick...nauseous for 8 hours every day. Zofran doesn't help me at all...even doubling the dose, as my doctor recommended. He is giving me Reglan. Praying that works. Nausea is the worst!"

"Post-op pain medication was making me vomit. After trying several pain meds, it was decided that I should take 8 mg Zofran every 8 hours. The only side effect of this drug was difficulty passing urine after taking it for more than 3 days. We cut it back to two Zofran daily, and that seemed to take care of the side effect."

"I was hit in the head recently. I had to go to the hospital. I was dry heaving and concussed. I was given an IV, then the bag was hung. I asked what it was. 'Zofran, it should help you stop needing to throw up.' It did, I stopped dry heaving within 2 minutes. Though I had a concussion, I did become a little confused. It really stops you from needing to vomit. Now I am taking a different drug to reduce nausea. If you are offered Zofran by a doctor for your issue, I would try it. It really helped me in the hospital. No side effects, you might be mildly dizzy or confused. I probably had a large dose. I have no idea. The IV was flowing into my arm for over 30 minutes. It's a drug that serves a purpose, with few side effects."

"Zofran is perfect for chronic nausea. I find that it doesn’t work as well if you are going through severe episodes of nausea, but with day-to-day nausea, this medication has been a lifesaver! I am very sensitive to medication side effects and usually get every common side effect listed on a medication, but Zofran hasn’t ever really caused side effects for me. Love this medication."

"Zofran is amazing. Absolutely amazing. My entire life, I have feared throwing up. Not sure why, but I now have anxiety because of it. I found out I was pregnant and was slightly nauseous all day, every day, but with someone who fears vomiting greatly, I was scared and upset. My doctor finally prescribed me Zofran after visiting the hospital for nausea, and it has been helping me ever since. I have been taking it for 4 years now whenever I need it, and it takes it away immediately. So thankful."

"I got food poisoning and couldn't stop vomiting and having nausea from 3 pm to about 4 am. I was puking so much and dry heaving that I was puking up blood (YIKES!). I found some extra Zofran in my bathroom cabinet from my doctor from the other month, so I decided to take one 4 mg pill. Vomiting and nausea subsided after 15 minutes of taking Zofran. Zofran, you're a lifesaver!!! Would always like to carry this medication around with me all day if I could. Adam"

"I like the Zofran pills when they actually work, but it seems like I have to take a pill, throw up, and then take another for it to be effective. Also, I always wake up with a headache once taken. I do want to note that when I was given Zofran in the hospital through the IV, I had no issues with nausea, it’s only when I take it orally that it does the opposite of what I’d like. All bodies are different, and this is just my reaction. I am on a low dose and have not upped the amount I’m taking. $45 for 15 pills (without insurance), and I’ve puked up half of them. Not worth it, especially when an anti-nausea causes nauseous."

"I've been on Zofran multiple times. For nausea and vomiting due to a digestive disorder I had, and when I was pregnant (24/7 sickness for most of the pregnancy). For the pregnancy, it was okay. It took the edge off. Nothing can ever truly 100% help that level of constant nausea, but it kept me from vomiting, so I was able to keep down water and food. For the digestive problem causing sickness, it was a miracle. Gives me a headache but well worth it. Going from feeling so sick to feeling way better. It works wonders."

"I have taken Zofran on and off for over 10 years. I have been given it after surgery for nausea and vomiting. Also, now again for gastroparesis. Sometimes the nausea and fullness in my stomach are very uncomfortable. Because there are little to no medications or non-invasive therapies, I sometimes will use this to help settle my stomach. While it does nothing for motility, it does alleviate rough times."

"Zofran is a lifesaver! Works quickly and very well. I get bad anxiety and worry a lot, which causes recent and sometimes unbearable stomach upset. One pill and I'm good! I am so happy I found relief. It does cause constipation for me, but I'd much rather deal with that!"

"Zofran is incredible. I was prescribed it when I started suffering from constant nausea about three months ago, and it has been a lifesaver ever since. It works almost immediately, even after taking it for so long, and has only not worked twice, both times when I had already eaten fatty or greasy foods and had other meds in my system. It can make you extremely constipated, so make sure you're hydrating yourself and consuming lots of fiber, but other than that, I never experienced an adverse side effect or interaction."

"This really is a lifesaver. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and have crippling morning sickness. So bad that I could not eat or drink anything for over a week. As soon as I took one pill, I became 100000000 times better. I would recommend this pill to anyone. I love it. 10 out of 10 in my book."

"I had my gallbladder removed in September and have been on this drug (as needed) since. It is a godsend. I don't get as nauseated as I was the first month after surgery but still have nausea here and there. This drug works very quickly, and I feel instant relief. Sometimes I find myself needing to take 2 doses if the nausea is severe, and it helps to ease it. Recommend this for anyone that struggles with nausea."

"I have a variety of GI issues as well as a phobia of throwing up, and ever since I've been taking Zofran ODT, I've been able to function without throwing up in the middle of the night every night. My only complaint would be that after 5 years of taking it, it doesn't work as magically as it did at the start, but it still works wonders."

"I've been dealing with extreme nausea and vomiting for the past 6 months, and it finally got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore and went to the ER. They gave me Zofran through IV and was feeling better in about an hour. After I was released, I was on 4 mg every 8 hours, and for about a week, I was back to my old self. Then things started to go downhill, and they boosted it to 8 mg. Now it doesn't even work anymore and makes me more nauseous than I was before. I also got pretty bad constipation and headaches after taking the medication. Not to mention, if you're taking the tablets, be ready to handle the taste because it is DISGUSTING."

"Since childhood, I’ve always been nausea-prone. Sometimes there would be a direct correlation, such as motion (car more often) sickness, overeating/unhealthy eating, etc. Mostly, it just comes out of nowhere and stops me in my tracks. Without insurance, it was very expensive (not sure how much, but $$$). Ever since having insurance and paying a few dollars, I will never be caught dead without a couple tabs on my person! My GI was very understanding and prescribed 60 tabs a month (up to 2 a day) with a generous amount of refills! Only once did it not work, but that was on New Year's, and I believe for obvious reasons! I’ve not really noticed side effects since my nausea throws off my body anyway. I take this med at least once a week. I can’t believe I wasn’t introduced to this sooner! It’s saved my life."

"I have been nauseous due to either a medication I'm on or a stomach issue. I hesitated to take Zofran until I finally couldn't take the nausea anymore. Zofran worked so well for me! It actually kept me from going to the emergency room. It's a wonderful drug for nausea. Constipation is a side effect, but I'll take that over the nausea."

"I have been having a lot of stomach issues. I was told it was a bunch of things. At last, it took about 4 months to conclude it was my colon. After a bout in the hospital, I was given Zofran, which worked wonders in no time at all; was also given Phenergan at one point and immediately became extremely irate until I passed out from it. In comparison, Zofran is a godsend. Can be expensive."

"My daughter was experiencing a constant unexplained ache in her stomach and a feeling that she was going to throw up, that no stomach test could find. Three months later, an MRI showed she had an AVM in her brain. Surgery to repair took all symptoms away. Three years later, she started having the same feelings. Found out the feeling of throwing up was the aura before partial seizures they didn't know she was having. Still having the gnawing ache. One amazing doctor suggested Zofran... it was our miracle. She has been fine ever since."

"This drug has saved my life at least once. I took it when I was pregnant and had unrelenting morning sickness that wasn't helped by any other medications. I'm now taking it again for nausea caused by severe pain (as well as the nausea caused in turn by pain medications, as I seemingly can't win on that one). But perhaps most importantly, it was the only drug that got me out of opiate withdrawal when I had the stomach flu. Without this, I would have been in the hospital because I couldn't otherwise keep anything down, and without opiate therapy, the withdrawal and the pain combined could easily have killed me. The only possible drawback is cost; even the generic would be completely out of reach for someone without insurance."

"16-year-old daughter was having headaches and was doing infusions with medications. Used Zofran for nausea. Immediately after it was injected, she had a severe allergic reaction, could not breathe, felt her throat tighten up, shortness of breath, dizziness, anxiety, shivering, and sweating. Oxygen was given, and this passed quickly within 5 minutes. Was observed in ER, and there were no other effects after that episode."

"Zofran is great for nausea, but watch out for the constipation. I was prescribed 15 8 mg tablets last week and have used one tablet a day since then (about 5 days now), and after waiting, walking, and drinking copious amounts of water, I am going to need to try a suppository or laxative and have my dosage of Zofran decreased to 4 mg. Great medication, it does give me nausea relief, just something to be prepared for, I know I wasn't."

"This morning at about 1 a.m., I was admitted to the ER with uncontrollable vomiting. Literally, within seconds of the Zofran injection, the nausea was gone, which says a lot because I was actively vomiting when the injection was given. God bless the men and women who developed this drug. It truly is a miracle."

"I have easily upsettable IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), and this has been a wonder medicine for me. Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I am so nauseous I cannot function. The dissolvable tablet leaves me feeling better within a minute. It has also worked when I had the stomach bug. It is working wonderfully now with a depression medicine that I just started taking that has a side effect of nausea and vomiting. I was seconds away from throwing up and quickly popped one of these in my mouth... back to normal within thirty seconds! Zofran is a lifesaver!"

"I caught a stomach virus last winter and was vomiting repeatedly. I couldn't keep anything down. I was nauseous, dizzy, and feverish. I felt like I was on a moving boat, and I couldn't move or even think without vomiting. After I threw up bile the 2nd day, I went to the ER. I vomited in the waiting room and 3 more times in the exam room. I was given Zofran, which helped a lot. I only threw up 2 or 3 more times after that. I was diagnosed with norovirus."
