For Nausea/Vomiting "I have several chronic conditions, and one is called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. It's even worse than it sounds. I'm over 40 and have suffered since childhood. Gravol stopped working over a decade ago. Last December was particularly bad with many trips to the ER, and I finally got lucky and was given this. It's a miracle drug for me about 95% of the time. I do get some side effects like diarrhea and sweating, but they're very bearable. I don't go anywhere without a bottle of these."

For Nausea/Vomiting "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."

For Nausea/Vomiting "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 Nausea/Vomiting "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 couldn'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."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I was warned of the possibility of severe vomiting/diarrhea due to chemotherapy for treatment of Glioblastoma. I have 10 days left on treatment, and so far, no side effects at all!"
