"Wow! I went to the ER on Tuesday night, and it is now Friday, and I was given Zofran for my nausea on top of everything else I was dealing with, and this crap has made me nothing but nauseous with lots of throwing up and constipated! Not sure how long this is supposed to last, but it’s freaking annoying, and I definitely don’t see myself taking this ever again."

"It cost me $3 for six tablets with insurance. When I was vomiting every couple of hours for a week and was prescribed Zofran, it reduced my vomiting to one or two times a day for the next two weeks as compared to every couple of hours. It is now the third week I've been sick, and the drug works within an hour for me. There were a couple of days my prescription ran out, and I started throwing up 10 times in a day again. Highly recommend."

"I began having severe nausea and dry heaving during my pregnancy. The doctor prescribed Zofran, and within minutes the buzz of nausea was gone. Instant relief. It really took the edge off. I highly recommend Zofran."

"Went to a bad hospital with a diagnosis of heart failure. Endured three weeks there with severe nausea, no vomiting. Begged cardiologists and all staff for nausea meds. Cardiologist said, “It (nausea) has nothing to do with me (cardiologist).” Hospitalist, who had been on vacation, responded to my pleas. Zofran was magic! I swear it only took minutes to kick in. I took it for 8 to 10 days and have not needed it for the past year. I am an assertive individual, but I was sick. I should have threatened to leave the hospital, gone to the E.R., screamed, gone on a food strike (food actually eased the nausea), or done something sensational to get help. My insurance was paying thousands for me to be treated like a non-entity."

"I was given Zofran for all-day morning sickness during pregnancy. It works very well, but causes constipation, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. If I wait at least 12 or more hours between doses, the side effects are milder and the nausea is almost completely gone. Before I had this drug, I was miserable and missing work."

"Have been taking this medicine for the past 17 weeks with severe hyperemesis. Have been hospitalized 7 times with dehydration. This was mainly when I had the flu on top of the morning sickness. Zofran is a really great medicine, I'm on 8 mg three times a day. Side effects include lack of appetite and constipation. But the benefits far outweigh the risk of not having it. I am able to eat and drink what I need to keep this baby growing, and although I am still not able to return to work, I am able to do day-to-day tasks. In Australia, this isn't covered by any insurance at all, and for the 8 mg, they are $120 for 10 tablets, so at 3 a day and not being able to work, it is costing us a fortune, but again, on the positive side, the baby is healthy!"

"I've had severe morning sickness with both of my pregnancies. No other medication worked. I've been off work for a week, unable to get out of bed. After only two days on this drug, I can finally start living again."

"This medicine is a miracle drug for my IBS symptoms. I became nauseated today, for the first time in many years, which was frightening and gave me terrible anxiety. I also have an intense phobia of feeling nausea which makes my anxiety sky-rocket. I had an Rx of Zofran on hand from months ago and finally decided to take one. I swallowed it, which I kind of regretted but I was okay with swallowing it but really was unsure if it would help at all. I waited about an hour and started burping and then nausea disappeared, I became hungry and my other chronic GI symptoms virtually eliminated. I have had discomfort for decades, I may have found my miracle."

"So, I suffer from cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) because of smoking pot for the last 5 years, and I have to say, what has helped is Zofran - it is really good at doing what it’s designed to do (helps nausea and vomiting) and eased the tension on my stomach. Been using it for a month every day, 2 hours before smoking whatever, i.e., concentrates or just bud. The ondansetron is miraculous and will literally save you a ton of time since when I was constantly vomiting, I couldn’t do my daily routine (going to work, hanging with friends). Man, I couldn’t even move at all, I was constantly in my bed throwing up..."

"I have hyperemesis gravidarum. Never have I experienced relief with Zofran, minimal, if at all. Constipation goes hand in hand with this drug, and I'd rather have N&V all day than be as constipated as I am right now. You have to weigh your pros and cons with this drug, and it's not for me."

"I take this medicine for severe morning sickness. I would have lost my job if it weren't for this medicine! It's the best! I only have good things to say about it! The only side effects I have are light headaches, anxiety at night sometimes, not often, and constipation, but I will take any of those any day over having to be glued to the toilet and in bed for 3 or more months!"

"I was given this drug by injection in the emergency room because I had a reaction to another drug. It stopped me from vomiting. However, since immunotherapy, I have become allergic to all NSAIDs and several other drugs. One drug for a heart problem I take makes me vomit, so they gave me this drug in pill form, and well... I threw it up, and tried again, and threw it up, and this went on until I again went to the emergency room. An injection works, but the pill works only before you become nauseated. I went to another medicine, Phenergan, and that was a suppository, which worked very well."

"I occasionally take this medication as needed for nausea that tends to come up from multiple health reasons. I have such an awful relationship with my stomach issues, and Zofran makes it go away quickly. I LOVE IT!!!!"

"Until my doctor gave me Zofran, I was one of the millions of women who suffered terrible morning sickness. It was so bad, in fact, that I couldn't work. The first day I took it, I became dizzy, but the vomiting stopped. The dizziness was gone by the second day. It did cause constipation, and I was hungry all the time. By the second trimester, I went off of it and found that my bowel movements returned to normal and my appetite had returned to somewhat normal. It definitely serves its purpose during the first trimester."

"This is the only thing that stops my all-day vomiting spells. Get the one that dissolves under or on your tongue if you’re like me and vomit every 2-5 minutes, and you don’t have to worry about not keeping it down. Kind of a weird taste, but not bad by any means. I’m quite certain this pill has saved my life and thousands in hospital visits for when I become dangerously dehydrated from the constant vomiting."

"It might have helped a tad with my nausea, but I woke up the following day with an excruciating migraine, so I won’t be taking this product ever again. If you have a history with migraines or headaches, I’d probably try alternative methods."

"I was prescribed this medicine for morning sickness. I never vomit but always feel nauseated. It only works for me sometimes. Sometimes I feel like a million bucks, other times it's like I didn't even take any medicine."

"I was in the hospital. They were giving me Zofran (in IV) for nausea. After it was administered, I would have worse nausea and throw up. A nurse said sometimes Zofran can make you actually throw up. She changed to Reglan, and I finally got relief from nausea and did not vomit anymore."

"I have had severe nausea and vomiting 2 times in 2 weeks from eating seafood, so I'm guessing no more seafood. The nausea stopped after taking 2 pills. Threw up the first time, then the second one stopped it within 20 min. I'm so happy. The first time I had nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea for 5 hours, had to go to the emergency room. Once diarrhea stopped, they gave me this medication, and all stopped."

"For my periods, the first few days are usually absolutely unbearable. I would be hugging the toilet from the moment I woke up until I went to bed for almost three days straight. My mom, being a doctor, set me up with Zofran, and seriously, it is the most incredible pill I have ever taken. Within 10 minutes, my stomach has settled, and I'm ready to take on the day."

"I took this drug when I was pregnant. I was vomiting so much I had to be hospitalized at least 4 times and had to have in-house IV treatments. Once I took this drug, I was able to go back to work. The only problem was my insurance stopped covering the drug."

"I woke up this past Thursday with food poisoning. I was going to the doctor for some MRI results and told him that someone had given me leftover food from a picnic and there were a lot of mushrooms! More than one type, too. I had vomiting and nausea, so he gave me a shot of Zofran. I started to feel less nauseous immediately after the injection. I bought Gatorade on the advice of the doctor. Then I slept quite a few hours. By Friday, I was feeling 90% better. I did some research and found out I had all the symptoms of salmonella mushroom poisoning."

"Acute vomiting - was given IV push Zofran. Within minutes, a headache ensued. Massive headache, which I did not know or was told can be a side effect. Released from ER 2 hours later, MASSIVE MASSIVE HEADACHE! Headache got worse and worse over the next 3 days. Had to then take Excedrin for headache and had instant digestive pain - NEVER EVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I HAD DIGESTIVE PAIN! Within 24 hours, had shoulder pain in both shoulders - that radiated down both arms. Nausea gone and vomit gone the next day. Since Tuesday at the ER, I am bedridden still on Saturday with massive headache still - shoulder pain and what feels like an ulcer. I'd have been better off living through the vomit. Especially since at 61 years old - headache, digestive pain, shoulder pain have never ever been an issue for me."

"Zofran is the best drug for nausea! I suffer from Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome, which doctors say is the worst form of nausea. I get extreme nausea that doesn’t get better after vomiting, and each time I have a flare-up, it lasts 12 hours. Zofran is the only thing that will stop it. It makes me a little tired, but I’ll take that any day over the nausea. I use the disintegrating tablets, which are great for when you feel like you can’t swallow a pill from the nausea."

"I use the sublingual. Every time I take it, I envision the guys designing this: 'We're making an anti-nausea sublingual medication? Great! Let's give it the nastiest fake berry flavor we can possibly come up with. That will help nausea, right?' It really is disgusting. I use it because it doesn't make me sleepy and dangerous to drive like promethazine does, but it's not nearly as effective. It works for queasiness, but on full-blown nausea, it's pretty worthless. But for just queasiness, it's relatively effective."
