Meclizine for morning sickness?

[stormgirl]

I'm cross posting this, I asked, too in my January DDC:

My sweetie couldn't handle watching me in misery any longer, with my health insurance application pending, and he called a maternal health clinic. They talked for a long time, and they called in a prescription for Meclizine (compared to Dramamine, Ataver(sp?) etc).....incidentally, when he went to pick it up, a pharmacist pointed out that there is an over the counter generic (which was an 8th of the cost for 3 times the amount of meds.)

So, I've been hyperemetic, and I'm desperate. I've lost probably 8-10 pounds, and I've been throwing up 5-8 times a day. Haven't gotten out of bed except to puke. Nauseous constantly. Terribly. Most food sounds G R O S S. I've been eating grapes.

Needless to say, I've been unable to work or care for my dear children.

So now I have this simple $5 bottle of medication, and I'm wanting to put all my trust in it. Any ladies vouching for effectiveness of meclizine? I took one 25 mg chewable tablet a few minutes ago, and I'm crossing my fingers. All of them.

It is a first line drug. It may work, it may not. If it doesn't you have other options.
Crossing my fingers for you too.
