"This is my 2nd pregnancy and the nausea and vomiting from the thought of food or taking a prenatal pills was taking a toll on my mental. My doctor prescribed me Bonjesta. I took it a few nights and the next day I had no morning sickness. It's working about 80% of the time, which is good. Just a huge caution: if you decide to take this during the day, make sure you have absolutely NOTHING to do. I made a mistake taking this at 2pm in the afternoon, couldn't get up until about 8pm. This pill put me on my butt! I fought the drowsiness as long as I could, but it won. It's now 11:45pm and I'm still tired. I will stick to taking this before bed."

"This medication did not work for me at all. I never got relief from nausea and actually threw up twice while on it. I stopped taking it and the next morning I actually woke up feeling okay. Started a new medication (zofran) so we'll see if it works. The Bonjesta made me sleepy, especially when taking one at night and one in the am but never helped the nausea!"

"I wish I knew about this during my first pregnancy. It helps me go from throwing up 2-3 times a day and miserable to feeling very little nausea most days. I take 1 pill around 5:30 pm (after I’m done driving for the day) and I usually sleep around 8:30 to 6:30."

"I took Bonjesta around the clock with zofran, not at the same time but as often as I could. Once the Diclegis began to become effective it literally saved my life and allowed daily normalcy vs misery of which makes you sad. you want to enjoy your pregnancy and all that comes with it & being nauseated all day can certainly put a damper on that experience. I was so happy this was available and I would ONLY except the BRAND name and I found this to be the most expensive yet! Best money spent that I could remember... I did try zofran alone as you already don't like to take anything while being pregnant, zofran didn’t work alone for me. But these two around the clock gave me what I needed for 6 the months that I was nauseous."

"I am 35, and this is my first pregnancy. My 24/7 nausea with occasional vomiting hit me like a steamroller at 7 weeks. I was taking the over counter Unisom PM at night and B6 supplements with food during the day, I noticed very little difference. At 9 weeks started Bonjestra, prescribed by my midwife. She did warn it could be costly, I was/am lucky and my insurance covered all of the cost, except for a $40 copay, so it was an easy decision for me to try it. I took my first dose at night and then in the morning, and I remember going to work and feeling for the first time like I could function and get through this. It does make you very sleepy! I took two pills a day weeks 9-18 and now am taking one pill at night and adding the over counter B6 supplements during the day with food. I still am careful and vigilant, but I feel so much better on it."

"After taking for a week this medication immediately causes me to projectile vomit upon taking. Getting off of it! While I was on it I still got severe night sickness and was tired all the time."

"I wanted to feel better with bonjesta. My doctor prescribed it at 7 weeks and I have taken it twice a day but I still throw up twice a day and I'm almost at 14 weeks. This also makes you extremely tired and sleepy."
