Dicelgis should be taken at night because it makes yu tired I took that and it helped me sleep and made me feel not nauseous. Not sure about zofran cuz my OBGYN doesn't like it.

I'm only taking 2 a day because of the fatique so it is wearing off. I have a one year old that I have to take care of and my body don't take well to medicines that cause drowsiness. I only take half a zofran to maybe a full one. I will try juice to see if it helps me though. Thank you.

Nikkimamaofthree...Diclegis is a slow release,  it should be in your system at all times, therefore it shouldn't be "wearing off". You can take up to 4 a day and that should be enough to stay in your system all day. I've had trouble with my blood sugar getting low since I've been on diclegis but I've found that a small glass of juice every two hours or so helps with that and the fatigue.

Pamela0128 I was taking just Zofran but I was still throwing up most of the day so the doctor gave me diclegis. Now I take diclegis and when it wears off I take zofran until I take diclegis again.
Insaneromane I know its not just pregnancy cause this just started when I started taking the diclegis. I'll still talk to my doctor about it though. Thank you.
Knufio, is diclegis better to take hours before bedtime to reduce fatique during the day?
Octoberlove, I had problems with constipation to when taking zofran. Taking half a pill every six hours helps with the constipation also.

Good morning, I took zofran and the only side effect I had was constipation. So drink lots of water and eating good fiber is important! I hope they hwlpb you how ever vomiting was so draining!

Zofran can cause headaches, and Diclegis can cause fatigue. Diclegis should be taken at night before bed. I take zofran and I only get headaches occasionally, but again its hard for me to tell if its from the medication because I am a headache person.

I took zofran and didn't feel any side effects from it, but I was only taking it on an as-needed basis. It's hard to tell if those symptoms are side effects or just pregnancy lol I think it may just he normal but I'd call and ask my doctor and he/she might recommend something for it to help you out.
