zofran......any side affect on mum??? maxalon is terrible, just like a sleeping table

[baby no 2]

i am seriously thinking of getting zofran to get thru xmas:santa: with my family, but i wanted to know if it has any side affects, because maxalon is just not working..

The only side-effect I suffered was constipation . It was horrible with DS1. Once I realised just how bad it could get, I started drinking a few glasses of juice a day and some licorice. When that wasn't working i'd take coloxyl tablets (not the ones with senna as they are stronger - the ones with the green label on the white bottle). Other than that - it was a godsend!! I was on 16mg a day with the twins at the worst. With DS it was only 8mg (4mg morning, 4mg afternoon) and I cut that back to 4mg a day by the end.

This is my second PG on Zofran and it's the only thing that stops the constant vomiting. Pear juice is also good for the constipation
