What's worked for you?
Posted: Jan 09, 2005 7:14 pm
Hi all,
I would like to hear what about what medications are working/have worked for you. As most of you know I'm currently planning for my second pregancy and I am contemplating trying other medications this time round but don't know what to try as I didn't experiment with a lot of different drugs the first time. I simply didn't have the energy to research other possible medications (I just took whatever the dr offered! ) and I was too scared to try anything else in case it would not work as well as what I was already on (which wasn't that great but when you're in the midst of the HG you don't want to feel any sicker than you already do!) Just for some background...I tried Diclectin briefly with my son but when that didn't work I then took Maxeran (Reglan to you guys in the US), Gravol (also known as Dramamine) and Rantidine. This combination of drugs helped curb the vomitting somewhat but didn't touch the nausea. It also unfortunately left me with the side effects of anxiousness, depression and extreme sleepiness. Now, I know different things work for different people but still I'm curious as to what's been the most effective drugs for you and what possibly would be the best drugs for me to try. So any personal experiences you have to relate would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Joanna
