For Nausea/Vomiting "Sometimes have really terrible heartburn due to my birth control pills, and sometimes causes bad nausea. Wanted an alternative to promethazine. Works great for taming the nausea, but the side effects were pretty annoying. Terrible backache and constipation. Oh man. Won't be taking these unless I'm dying or something."

For Nausea/Vomiting "After being diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, I was given Zofran. The midwife suggested I waited until the 12-week mark as they don’t like to administer during the first trimester, so I had an alternative to then. I went from being sick multiple times a day to maybe once or twice a week and gradually to once every couple of weeks, etc. If I stop taking the medication, I will start to feel very nauseous again, which to me indicates I still need it (now 20 weeks). The only side effect I have is constipation, which could be down to pregnancy itself. I have had no other issues at all and am thankful to have this medication."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I was given this for nausea from gastritis. It really didn't help the nausea, but it did give me a headache, made me very tired, that I had to lay down, and then gave me short, awful nightmares that I woke from with something like an electrical shock. It also made my breathing shallow, and like many, the next day I was very constipated. It was not a pleasant experience all around. I find non-prescription products much better than this for nausea. This made me feel much worse, and I would never use it again."
