Okay, well a nurse recommended it to me... and it worked, that is all I care about. I am not talking about garden variety morning sickness... I did get dehydrated, and was miserable. Since I don't like to sit around attached to an IV, I drank the Gatorade. It had a mild taste (I drank the lemonade or the strawberry orange), and most importantly, I could keep it down. Also, because I was dehydrated, I was extremely constipated (an ugly but true part of PG) so the diuretic aspect was helpful for me.

Zofran is very expensive, and around here they do not hand it out easily. Luckily, my insurance did cover it. I was extremely grateful that my Dr. worked with me to get it under control. I took it from week 2 to delivery. It did not keep me from vomiting all the time, and I was still nausous, but I could function and take care of my child.
