"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 nauseas immediately after the injection. I bought gatorade on the advise 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."

"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 3 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."

"At first it worked for me when it was given to me at the hospital. It was then prescribed to me from my doctor for nausea and vomiting from gallstones. After a few hours of taking Zofran I started to experience body tremors and I still have residual nausea too. It also makes me feel very sleepy from it too. I think it also has caused me to be constipated since I haven't had a bowel movement a few days ago. Not sure if I would recommend this to anyone..it does kinda work, but not well for me."

"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 sometime Zofran can make you actually throw up. She changed to Reglan and I finally got relief from nausea and did not vomit anymore."

"Using Zofran for my 14 yo daughter. It has not helped her nausea. It seems to make it worse, but she can’t vomit to release the pain. At least when the Zofran wears off, she can vomit and get some relief. We’ve tried it three times and will never use it again for her. (She just had her tonsils out)."

"Was prescribed this medicine for morning sickness which lasted the entire first trimester of my pregnancy. Worked great, I was able to function and without feeling dopey or drowsy. The only drawbacks were the terrible headaches and expense of the drug, with insurance it was $50. The headaches were a welcome trade-off to feeling like death for 90 days."

"I take another drug that causes severe nausea, Zofran was prescribed, the nausea stopped but the other side effects from Zofran were so overwhelming that I had to stop taking it. The side effects were Diarrhea, headaches, blood in stool, dizziness, and yes- nausea; I could't drive so I'll live with the nausea until I see my endocrinologist again and (maybe) he suggests something else. Bottom line, the side effects of Zofran outweigh the benefits."

"Hospitalized for a major gut infection. I was told this was the strongest antiemetic they could give me.... unfortunately the nausea was only mildly helped. However, vomiting did stop. This medication didn't make me dizzy at all. Tastes like cough medicine. I recommend this for mild nausea, it wasn't really effective for treating more intense nausea. VERY expensive for how little relief it gave me."

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

"I am type 1 diabetic and have been having symptoms of gastroparesis. Zofran coupled with erythromycin has been the only thing to give me relief. After being sick/vomiting for the past 5 weeks on and off, it is nice to be back to some sort of normality."

"I was given Zofran after having my gallbladder removed. The nausea wasn't from the procedure, but came on when I was finally able to eat and the broth soup was placed in front of me. For at least a month prior I'd been getting nauseous just from seeing food no matter how hungry I was (and after fasting for surgery I was absolutely starving!) I was given Zofran in my IV and it did absolutely nothing. My surgeon then gave me a prescription for the pill form, but again, it did nothing to help my nausea."

"I was given 4mg of Zofran twice through an IV to combat a stomach bug. Once at home I took a pill form of Zofran because the nausea had not yet subsided. The next day my tongue started to feel swollen and my jaw started to have spasms. I was in so much pain. I received a steroid shot and a muscle relaxer shot both in my buttocks. I still experienced tremors and I was unable to talk. The doctors said the rise in my serotonin levels caused the reaction to the Zofran. I will never take Zofran as long as I live unless I absolutely have to."

"Zofran made me feel worse & more nauseous rather than helping. I sincerely feel compassion for everyone that has experienced this from this medicine, & yet your doctor has not believed you, or looked at you in disbelief not having sincere compassion, empathy and kindness when you know that taking it, made you feel more nauseous immediately, throwing up as you combatted the watery feeling trying not to, and “realizing” the medicine made you feel worse instead of better. My daughter also was prescribed zofran during a time that she was nauseous. I did not tell her initially of my prior experience taking zofran, because I realized medicines have different effects on different people. Of course, I was hoping it would help her & my daughter would feel better immediately or soon after taking it. She experienced the side effects that I did & told me adamantly she’s not taking anymore zofran! It made her feel more nauseous and worse, instead of better. I understand."

"I have an extreme fear of nausea and vomiting. It’s so bad I get nauseated when someone coughs. I was given zofran and it was perfect for when my anxiety was making the fear harder to deal with. Then I got salmonella poisoning and it didn’t work whatsoever. I took three 4mg 20 minutes apart hoping it’d help and it didn’t. A few days after taking antibiotics for salmonella poisoning, I’m still a little nauseated (zofran doesn’t work) and can’t do much. Thinking about going and getting a higher dose."

"Being pregnant, the morning sickness is horribe! I leave my dissolving Zofran on my night stand so before I get out of bed in the morning I take one and I am set for the whole day! If not, I barely make it to the kitchen for my decaf coffee without spewing up a whole lot of nothing. Thanks doctor, I love this medicine. The only downside is that it tastes horrible, but it dissolves so fast it is MUCH better than the alternative."

"I really like this medication. As someone who has Long Covid symptoms it has been a lifesaver for my nausea. The only thing about it I don't like is the dry mouth from it. Im constantly drinking water which isn't a bad thing but its very annoying."

"This medication is a godsend. Within 10-20 minutes, I felt like I could at least take down water. I could function. One pill dissolved in my mouth (I would have rather swallowed it, but I see why it's dissolved in case you can't keep even a sip of water down). 10/10"

"My Doctor prescribed this to me in the first trimester of pregnancy to help control my vomiting. I was not able to keep anything in my stomach including fluids so I was becoming dehydrated and was near hospitalization. The first night I took it I immediately felt better and was able to eat again within an hour. It did give me a slight headache after a few days of using it, but it was well worth it to be able to eat without getting sick!"

"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 !!!!"

"I received this medicine with Stadol for a migraine. Within 20 min I vomited. I hadn't vomited with the migraine, just had nausea. I got out of bed once after a few hours and threw up again, then again after trying only water. So...this didn't work at all for me, but I'd never had either of the two drugs before."

"I was given this for mild nausea caused by taking antibiotics. One 4mg pill didn't help but 2 of them helped greatly! It calmed my stomach enough that I could eat again. My doctor is very stingy with them though, not sure why. Only gave me 12 pills. Highly recommend!"

"After trying numerous medicines for my persistent nausea this one is the most helpful with the least side effects. Main side effect is inability to concentrate so I can't drive on high doses but I do have a very sensitive system and tend to experience many side effects. But with that being about it I'm glad to have it to rely on."

"I lost 5 pounds in 2 days while pregnant because I could not hold down any solids. A doctor injected Zofran intravenously IV at 10 pm, the next day I woke with tremendous amounts of energy and even ate a fat burger. That effect lasted for me only until about 11 am."

"Worked great for mild nausea associated with head trauma. Took two pills and nausea went away almost immediately. On the negative, now in dispute with hospital ER for charging $291 for the two pills. I could have picked up at local pharmacy for about $30, generic. I had explicitly declined a CT scan (with doctor's okay) to reduce ER cost so was not expecting the doctor to find what must have been highest priced nausea pills in hospital pharmacy. I had reported an overall discomfort of 3 on a scale from 1-10."

"I used this along with phenagren suppositories, but I couldn't keep the pill down so I did the dissolvable. The dissolvable tasted bad but if you drink a little (like a very small amount) almond milk or regular milk right after it takes away the bad taste. I did have to take miralax because it made me very constipated at times but it beat vomiting 20 + times a day. I also had zofran through an IV 3 times a week with fluids which felt like the biggest relief."
