Coming off XONVEA/anti sickness

You can take max 4 tablets per day so 2 evening then 1 morning and one afternoon I would maybe take the afternoon one and consult doctor before coming off it yourself xxx

I’m 23+4 been on them since 10 weeks and just weaning myself off 🤣 I cut down to just 2 at night, then 1 then gone cold turkey 🫣 have felt nauseous and off bit of bile this week since coming off, but way better than I was x

@Jasmine thank you! I’ve tried the one in the afternoon and it literally makes no difference 😅 I’m wondering if having both in the morning might give it a better boost. They only say don’t have them both together due to tiredness/drowsiness, but I honestly don’t feel very tired from them!

@Jess thank you! How did you know when to start cutting down? Were you still sick while taking them or not? X

@Emily id stopped being sick whilst taking them, then one day forgot them and was sick all day so knew I wasn’t ready. Then I’ve slowly gone to no sick again but this is 4-5 weeks later and weaned down and seen how I’ve been done x

I was told the side effects of coming off them is sickness and nausea and was advised to wean off slowly by reducing 1 tab every other day eg 4 tabs, then 3 tabs, then 4 tabs, then 3 until settled without increased sickness. Then 3 every day. Then alternating between 3 and 2 every day. Etc etc. can see how it goes and increase the pace if it works

Mine was managed with 1 tablet of zofran right when I woke up. I was taking a daily pill from 9weeks-28weeks. I tried weaning off from 16weeks onward and would “test” myself on days that I didn’t have work or responsibilities by trying to go my morning without the tablet and see how my nausea affected me. 9/10 times I’d end up taking it after suffering for a few hours. I am now 30 weeks and only in the past 2-3 weeks have I reduced my usage to about two or three times weekly. To be honest, you’ll know when it’s time to wean off.

If I’m being completely honest, my sickness stopped at around 28 weeks but I didn’t stop taking my tablets until I gave birth as I was so worried it would start back up again 🥲 I just went cold turkey after birth & I was absolutely fine 😊

i’m 31 weeks and haven’t stopped meds just reduced as much as i can manage so don’t feel pressured to, my sickness comes back without them

I take 2 at night before bed as they can make you sleepy. I've started them at around 8 weeks pregnant if I remember correctly and I'm at 36 weeks now and I'm definitely going to keep taking them until the baby comes. I've stopped taking them for one day and it was instant regret for the following days (GP took ages to renew prescription so wasn't my choice)
