Yup! Wouldn’t have survived my first trimester without these 😅

@Jules I feel like I can’t survive as to why I’ve gone to my gp! Thanks for ur response I’ll give these a try how did you take them ? With meals or without? X

I took these from early pregnancy as could not keep anything down, felt so sick and they helped me massively. No problems. Took before evening meals as l coped in the day and worse late in the day x

@Shami I know they wouldn’t prescribe anything that could harm the baby but I just worried about taking them ! But literally I feel the same way x

Also it just says take up to 3 times a day. How should I space these out? X

@Carys ah bless you totally understand, its not nice and felt so worried too when they first prescribed them. But i took them till the end x

@Shami I’ve just taken one now hopefully they start to work because I’ve been throwing up all day x

@Carys bless just monitor fingers crossed they work soon, they made me sleepy at first by the way but got used to it x

@Carys I could barely manage to eat when I started them to be honest so often took them on an empty stomach. I would try to take one around 6am and then stay in bed for 30 mins or so before attempting to get up to give the tablet time to kick in. I took up to 3 a day but I was told I had to leave at least 8 hours between tablets so depending on how long I was awake, I’d sometimes only manage 2 per day. Hope they help you! X

@Shami rather be sleepy than being sick all the time ! Ahha xx

@Jules yeah. I cannot eat at the moment either. Thankyou for this response as I wasn’t told how many hours to take them apart. Xx

I took them with all 3 of my pregnancies, my eldest is now 15 & is totally fine, no impact on him at all. Same for my 10 year old, although cyclazocine on its own wasn't enough for the sickness I had with her, I ended up on a second anti sickness medication (I can't remember the name), but no side effects at all to baby. I can't say for sure about number 3, because he's not due for a couple more weeks, but I have no doubt that he'll be fine too. They wouldn't give you them if they weren't safe, try not to worry (I know that's not easy) make sure you do go back if they aren't enough though, there are other options they can try. Hope you're feeling better soon

@Carys totally agree. Like Jules says take them abit before meals so you can keep food and drinks down thats what i did x

I’m still on these at 22 weeks, alongside another anti sickness med but I literally have alarms set at 5am, 1pm and 9pm 😂 x

These were one of many anti sickness drugs I took! I hope they work for you, but if they don't go back to your doctor as there are alternatives.
