| Add Aloxi review Six hours after receiving Aloxi injection, experienced horrible headache that near migraine level. I have had a couple of migraines in my life but not a chronic problem. Had to use ice pack alternatively with heat to get relief and my pain pills did nothing (percoset) for relief. 48 hours after dosing, was given Fioriset to help control pain. Didn't have nausea from the chemo but did from the migraine. Dr. will try something different next infusion. Had a slight but annoying headache for the entire 24 hrs that this drug lasted in me.

I have taken Zofran with all 3 of my pregnancies. I am currently 11 weeks pregnant with baby #3 and was diagnosed last week with full-blown Hyperemesis.

It is working well so far, but I am also having headaches as a side effect, and constipation. ... I'm having terrible constipation. I've been taking stool softeners for 2 weeks. | |||
