Thank God Zofran still worked for me, but I did experience about 2-3 weeks where it was not as effective. I am positive it has to do with it becoming a generic drug and it is not "identical" to the name brand.... that's a different Blog. Anyhow with this pregnancy I also experienced terrible anxiety and worried whether I could actually make it through the pregnancy. Finally out of desperation, my OB prescribed an anti-anxiety drug - Buspirone (Buspar)and it felt like a wet towel placed over a burning limb. relief was immediate. I was still sick, but it was the beginning of my recovery. I was scared to take a psych drug, but was desperate. I only used it a week or so and finally the zofran started to work again for me. <BR/>Reading your story, I wonder what would become of me if I hadn't rec'd that Buspar, and wonder what could become of me if I were to ever get pregnant again. I am getting that Tubal Ligation!!!<BR/>I'm very glad to read your story and know I am not "crazy" and not alone.<BR/>Thank you.Betsy Jane Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02754159218616017977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-581913724905405055.post-61235060507615231692008-07-18T20:22:00.000-07:002008-07-18T20:22:00.000-07:00this story -- it is so powerful. it really made me...this story -- it is so powerful. it really made me cry as I remembered what at terrible time i had. sarah was so lucky to be surrounded by friends and family who helped her.

I stumbled across your blog today and just read Sarah's story. I hate to say that I can identify with her. I had a horrible experience with HG, resulting in a beautiful baby boy. I always wanted more than one child, but we do not plan on having any more, as my experience was debilitating. <BR/><BR/>Sarah: I hope you are feeling back to normal. Your story was so familiar to me. I had multiple hospital stays, a PICC line that had to be pulled because of infection, reactions to every anti-nausea drug out there (especially Reglan), a complete aversion to liquids (not to mention food), abundant saliva, an NG tube down my nose into my throat...it still gives me anxiety to think about it. I noticed that the one time you took Ativan helped you. Ativan saved me. I took it every night for months before being able to wean off of it. Of course it is category D so I spent the rest of my pregnancy worried that I was hurting my baby.<BR/><BR/>Thankfully my baby boy was born with no complications. He is perfect.<BR/><BR/>Thank you again for getting the word out. I wish you the best and hope that the next time around is not so bad for you!<BR/><BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>KatyKatyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10798221111357513291noreply@blogger.com
