Maxalon - worked fabulously for about a week, but made me very drowsy. It then started tapering off, and cut the nausea for a shorter and shorter amount of time, but still made me just as drowsy, and as I was still working full time, it was not worth it any more.
Zofran - didn't do a thing for me, other than make me cry as I was so disappointed it didn't help, as EVERYONE I knew who'd had it had fabulous results from it ... but alas I did not.
Periot (sp?) - this cuts down the acid in your belly, which can be the cause of your nausea. This ended up doing the trick for me, and I was on it for a week, and then when my acid was under control, I could manage it with Zantac. Second pregnancy my Ob wasn't comfortable with me taking it, so I took Zantac basically right through my pregnancy. It didn't stop the m/s (I threw up right up to and including the morning of the c/s) but it kept it more manageable. More vomiting, less nausea.
There's nothing that I can say, "oh, this worked long term." but I can say that it's worth it
I feel for you though, because I always expected that I would really, really enjoy my pregnancies, and I was too sick to, in the end. But you will enjoy your baby
