I got Zofran today.

At 7 weeks now I am beginning to feel the HG setting in. It was almost 9 years ago that I experienced this with my son. I would like to know if a lot of you have used Zofran, how safe is it? Did anyone have a bad experience with it? I am trying to research it on the Internet also to find out more about it. I also take Synthroid and Zoloft and I am hoping it is ok with all, I am sure my doctor would not perscribe it if it wasn't ok with my other meds. It's not addicting also is it? I mean if I have to take this my whole pregnancy will I be able to get right off it after the baby? Any and all comments and help are appreciated.

I take Synthroid also and have not had any reaction at all. I also don't think I will have a problem going off the Zofran after my pregnancy. I don't ever "have" to take it. I don't have any experience with the Zoloft though.

i swear by my zofran... its made a huge difference. dont get me wrong there is still plenty of room for improvement but its helped me a lot. the hardest part was getting it regulated at first. i had to be hospitalized and receive it thru the iv for a few days but now im on pill form, yet i am very careful to always take it on time. even if that means setting my alarm on the weekend.

good luck! if you have any more questions about it or my experiences on it feel free to email or pm me.

I was lucky in that Zofran worked so well for me. It stopped the vomitting and a lot of the nausea. I would have been in really bad shape without the Zofran. Also, I took it my entire pregnancy and I took the last one the morning I went into labor. I never needed one again and I didn't feel sick at all.

If you haven't already, make sure your read the post on Zofran/B6 in the First Trimester folder. It has great info. I really hope the Zofran works for you. It's expensive, but to me, soooooo worth it.

Hey, Beth--hope things are going well for you! You got great response on the Zofran, and I hope you're reassured about taking it. The majority of women here at least try it, and www.motherisk.org has all the information you need about its safety in pregnancy. The Motherisk number is 1-800-436-8477. They are GREAT, and I urge everyone to call and get the information they've compiled on NVP.
