The great thing about under the tongue Zofran is that you use it only when you feel nausea coming on. The effect , for me, was rapid. So I wasn't medicating without the need for the medication.
Wristbands were not effective for me, but I wouldn't rule them out without a try.

That's just one data point; we all respond differently, of course.
