Going off of zofran

Frantastic

So this pregnancy has been really rough on me. I've had such bad morning sickness that I ended up in the ER for dehydration and was put on zofran. The zofran works great but makes me super constipated So now I'm 13 weeks and thinking of cutting back on the zofran to eventually going off all together. My worry is when I tried to do that a few weeks ago the nausea came back with a vengeance and I'm afraid of being so sick that I go to the ER again. Has anyone else had problems going off of zofran?

I tried cutting back today and I'm feeling really queasy. I'm terrified of being violently ill again. Ginger didn't do shit for me before I got zofran so I think I'll just stay on it for a while longer. I just hate pooping every other day.

Have you tried water with lemon in it? I heard that helps and it help with dehydration too. I have zofran but it makes me so constipated so I don't use it unless I really have too.

@PaulJrsMommy I have to take 2 zofran everyday or I can't keep anything down, not even water. I hate the constipation but I just don't think natural remedies work for me.

I was eating candied ginger @HomeBirthAdvocate but even still I'm just not big on natural/ home remedies. I've only has 1 zofran today and feel a little queasy but an still functional so I'll try this for a while.

I just got a prescription for zofran I hate it, it gives me horrible headaches and taste horrible. My dr suggested buying Ginger roots from the produce section and peeling the skin back and sucking on it like a lollipop. I haven't tried that but she swears by it.

Have you tried unisom? I took it most of my pregnancy because I was sick up til 16 weeks. I would take it before bed and wake up feeling fine. If I forgot or didn't take it before bed, I'd wake up vomiting. Could be worth a shot. As for the constipation...I eat oatmeal with a scoop of coconut oil in it almost daily for breakfast. That will help regulate you. It sounds like it would be greasy and nasty, but it's not. Feel better either way.

What about phenergone (sp?) That's for nausea too and its safe for pregnant women.

Well I wouldn't shoot down natural remedies if you haven't tried them all. I hate being constipated so I'd try the others.. but that's me. Goodluck hun.

You could try those wrist band thingys for nausea. They persoanlly didn't help me but I had horrid morning sickness throughout both my pregnancies
