No: You are only discharged if you are stable to be discharged--if you are continuously vomiting, you will just dehydrate and return. They will likely try more zofran (ondansetron) and then other class(-es) of anti-nausea medicines to see if can get ahead of it, then have you try small food to be sure it stays down. If yes, provide rx's, if no, admit for intractible nausea / vomiting.
