zofran withdrawl...maybe I'm not the only one?
Posted: Sep 10, 2007 9:02 pmWith my first pregnancy, I had no problems with zofran. This time around, I am (maybe b/c its generic? who knows?). Don't know the reliability of these sites but found this interesting and thought I'd share...

I had cervix cancer surgery and I finished my chemotherapy treatment two weeks ago, but my question is related to zofran addiction. Is it possible to be addicted to zofran for I was on zofran for quite some time and that is during all my chemo in order to stop nausea and vomiting? And now when it’s all finished I‘ve noticed that as soon as I stopped taking zofran my hearth beats faster and I’m anxious and depressed. Do you think I might have zofran addiction?
