Did you stop taking it after a week because you started to feel better, or because of the constipation?
I stopped because of the constipation. I took 1 pill each day for 5 days straight, and then realized that I was constipated. It took about 24 hours of straining, suppositories, stool softeners, etc. to get it out - it was like passing a rock covered in glass. It wasn't till I did a google search on Zofran and constipation that I figured out the connection. It may not happen to you - it doesn't affect everyone this way, but you should be aware of the risk.
It pretty much does affect everyone this way - if you take it you should absolutely take colace, miralax, etc. It will come with pretty crazy warnings about the constipation.
I posted earlier about taking Zofran through my entire pregnancy. I had a few days of constipation early on, but after that, none. I ate a ton of fiber (35 grams/day), drank a lot of water and stayed active, and was regular the whole way through. So don't assume that you'll have crazy constipation from it or let that be a deterrent at least from trying it. I shudder to think what my pregnancy would have been like without it.
