Is anyone else taking Diclegis (the prescription nausea and vomiting medicine)? What are your experiences? I just started mine last night, directions are 2 tabs at bedtime, but my nausea is the worst in the morning. It made me very drowsy and irritable, then I was restless. Ugh 😟
I took them and it almost seemed to make my nausea worse. Not to mention swallowing pills was really hard to do without throwing them up. I got on Zofran after a hospital stay due to dehydration and that saved my life
I took them also, it did make me sleepy but it was the only thing that helped me keep any food or fluids down. I was hospitalized twice for dehydration. I lost weight too. but after staying on Diclegis for a while I got so much better. I hope it works for you love, since you just started your body may need to adjust to it. just give it some time :)
I was on them and they made me really sleepy and I stopped using them because I wasn't able to attend my toddler and that wasn't right on my mind. so i still deal with nausea but no longer take pills.
I'm currently taking Diclegis. I started with just 2 at night, but am now taking the full dose. 1 in the AM, 1 in the afternoon, 2 at night. It does make me sleepy, but I'd rather be sleepy than puking 8+ times a day. It took a day or so before I started feeling good enough to eat.
man I feel you girlol soon enough !! you will be able to just hang in there
@courtneywarner, oh my goodness, I'm glad you're ok though. have you been able to put any weight back on at least? @kaliyahsmommy wow! 30 pounds?? that happened to one of my friends too, her doctor was checking on her daily to make sure she was eating! Idk I think it's bc I already get moody when I don't eat... hangry I guess lol! and so since I can't eat, literally food makes me gag, I am irritable bc I'm so hungry but all food makes me sick :( I ate rice and toast yesterday and that was it. I want to try fruits today but my nose says otherwise. I just want to be able to eat pizza and chicken nuggets 😣
yeah I lost 30 at the beginning smh it was horrible but it didn't make me irritable I was happy to not be as sick as I was so idk haha..guess it affects everyone differently
@maandiii, I lost 15 and I'm only 12 weeks I had to get a permanent iv called a picc line
Perfect thanks! Yeah, the way it made me feel last night I was so miserable I just wanted to sleep and I'm afraid if I take it during the day it will make me irritable again and I have a 19 month old at home! I definitely think throwing up is worse too lol. I just wish they could make a medicine that would make you be able to eat, I feel so empty and I've already lost 6 pounds 😐 @courtneywarner @kaliyahsmommy
You can take up to 4 a day thats from my Dr so check with your Dr to see for sure
worked magic for me. made me sleepy but wasn't throwing up. I think throwing up is worse lol
I was prescribed the same and honestly it didn't take nausea away completely but if I don't take it I def feel worse @maandiii
