The insertion was the worst part. When I got Liletta inserted it was very very painful & it didn't stick inside my uterus the first or second time. By that point I was shaky and moaning in pain but the 3rd time was a charm and it stayed, thank goodness. It feels like a big pinch. I had bad cramps the first two days after and had to stay at home with a heating pad. Other than my insertion horror story, I LOVE IT so far. I haven't had a period and I feel fine. I barely know it's there & my boyfriend can't feel out during sex either. It's great and I highly recommend it :)

I have major depressive disorder. I was put on Lexapro, the side effects were unbearable. I got switched to Prozac dosage got switched for a couple of months and then got put on sertraline, became suicidal. I gave up for a year on medications and tried exercising but still had bad depression and was tired but couldn't sleep at all. Now, I've been on Pristiq for 9 days and some days I'm in amazing moods and some I'm really quiet and still have trouble sleeping but these reviews help me not want to give up yet. Thank you!

Start weight: 246lbs at doctor on 2/01/2017. Started taking Phentermine 37.5 on 2/02/17 (Friday). Went to the beach that night, came back Wednesday and weighed 242lbs (at doctor). I ate grilled chicken salads and one or two chocolate chip granola bars a day and drank lots of water. While on vacation I walked a lot since I was at the beach sight seeing, did some shopping and just did normal vacation stuff. I didn't workout while I was gone. Today is 2/12/2017 and according to my scales I weigh 240lbs (scales are dialed up 3lbs to match doctors). Since I've been back from vacation I've worked out 7 mins every day and went walking, slow pace. I eat salads and granola bars still and sometimes have a heavier dinner. Mental side effects exp.

I'm a 34 year-old male, work out regularly & was prescribed cyclobenzaprine for back pain related to a pulled muscle. Was used in conjunction with physical therapy and the drug helped me get sleep and function during the day by mitigating pain and spasms. Side effects: Severe constipation. Constipation persisted for over a week after I stopped taking the drug. Had to see a Doctor about it. I highly suggest taking laxatives while taking this medicine. Also made me very drowsy. Experienced dry mouth when taking at night before bed as well.

It was the first time I used birth control pills with Ovcon35. I didn't have any side effects from it at all.

I tested poz on feb 8. 2008 i didn't start Atripla till 2013 my v_load was 450...cd4..was97.000...within 30days i was undetectable cd4..1400...been on this medicine for three years now an i only have short term memory lost just of little thinks i love this medicine im alive healthy an also have good people in my corner thanks Atripla your tha best

I was on gildess for 3 months, it was my first experience with hormonal birth control. For one thing I didn't get pregnant while taking it so it does its job! I did have some unpleasant side effects though. I had constipation/gas while I was on it along with some mood swings, although I can't be 100% sure that these things were actually caused/worsened by the pill. The pill DID cause nausea (mostly during the first month), swollen & sore breasts (mostly during the 3rd month), and a bit of acne. My periods were extremely light on this pill. During the first month I had cramps (usually very mild) every day, then a normal period 2 weeks into the pack, followed by spotting with mild cramps until I finished that pack.

I have been taking 300mg of Lamotrigine each day for about 3 years. When I first took it, it made me feel sick and anxious and gave me headaches, but after following some simple advice from my psychiatrist I now DONT GET ANY SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL!! He told me to increase the dose slowly (25mg per week) and to always eat when I take the tablets. I've found this medication very effective as an antidepressant but not effective at controlling mania / hypomania. Despite this, I still rate it very highly because it is so much more bearable than any other psychiatric medication that I've taken in the past.

Simcor 1000-20 is what I take one time a day at bed time. I have experienced side effects but the good out weighs the bad. Make sure you don't have spicy foods or peppers that are HOT. This will cause flushing. Also make sure you read all about the side effects like you can't have eat certain foods.

My triglyceride level was 1317 and in one year dropped to 238.

It is the only NSAID I can take without setting off my asthma. It kills the pain and allows me to walk. No more choosing between breathing and walking.

Works! Tried zyban prior to this but didn't find it effective. I picked a quit date as the medication recommended and gradually reduced smoking over 10 days while on champix. On my quit date I stopped completely and haven't had one since! Cravings still come and go but certainly not compared to a cold turkey craving. Just have to fill that spare time with something to take your mind off. The one thing about this medication is that after ingesting it, I feel quite sick after. It lasts for 10 mins or so then I'm fine. It's best to eat after food and with lots of water!

Thus is intended as a warning about sudden cessation of long term Lyrica use. I've been taking 75mg twice daily Lyrica for severe pain resulting from crush fractures in my spine. I started to feel a slight benefit from the drug a few weeks after beginning to take it but it wasn't until I started swimming that my long standing pain completely disappeared. I never missed a dose until a few days ago: just ran out, had to wait til the next day, effectively missing two doses. I went through an incredibly harrowing experience in that time without the drug...it wasn't psychological: I could almost physically feel the chemistry in my brain and body going totally haywire. It was extremely alarming, nothing can describe how nasty it was.

I had unprotected sex on the 17th this month and took the Ella pill 44 hours later. I felt so sick for the first 2 days I couldn't get off the sofa, had severe bloating next few days I was nauseous and vomited a fair few times still am occasionally vomiting 12 days on, I'm now 13 days in and still having symptoms e.g. cramping and back ache mainly on the left side of my abdomen, headaches, heartburn, acid reflux. Also this pill is like an abortion, if you did have a fertilised egg which in my opinion is when pregnancy begins it stops it from attaching therefore causing abortion. Worst pill I've ever taken in my life. I'm due in 4 days and even though I don't think I'm pregnant the effects it's had on me have been horrendous. Use with caution

I have to say I've this medicine a 7 out of 10 because it has brought me out of both some wicked manias and depressive episodes. The sedation is a love-hate relationship with me- It's nice for my anxiety, but is also a nuisance. I MUST take this medicine 12 hours before I need to wake up, or I have trouble waking up. I feel it does interfere with my creative and intellectual abilities a tad bit. Overall, however, it's good med.

Acyclovir 800 tab 4 times a day for 5 days. First pill stopped the cold sore in its tracks it immediately stopped growing with just the first pill. Second day the tingling phase stopped, they erupted, and by the end of the 2nd day they were drying out. I had to stop at the end of day 2 due to this medicine being too strong for my stomach. I ended up with a gastritis flare up, terrible stomach pain, diarrhea and nausea. If it wasn't for that, this medicine would get 10/10!

Had high total cholesterol. Crestor helped but didn't get LDL low enough. Took Zetia and that caused serious joint and muscle pain. Started taking Repatha samples from doctor. It's working great with no side effects. Total cholesterol 121, LDL 38 and HDL 58. Unfortunately, Blue Cross doesn't want to pay for it, so my doc is going through the appeal process.

Works well, but I refrain from exercise when taking. It's the only antibiotic strong enough to cure bad sinus infections. Have taken it a couple of times for years with no issues except a little insomnia.

I been on this birth control for about 7 months and I'm getting it taken out next month. I got on it in mid September and after 2 weeks I got my monthly and I have been bleeding for a good 3 months, EVERY SINGLE DAY. I couldn't stand it. I give it a 2 because it was effective by bleeding the whole time making sure I can't have sex! My acne got horrible, I bought face washes, scrubs, toner and I still break out like crazy, I'm always in depression. My hormones are going off the wall. I did not gain any weight though so there's the 2nd point. I do not recommend, everyone's body's are different but seems like everyone else is having the same problem

Fansidar contains special antibiotics which kill and inhibit the growth and spread of plasmodium parasite in your body.

I've been taking Lexapro for about 2 years now and it has been a life saver. I developed anxiety disorder that gave me a constant nauseous feeling and fast heart beat. My doctor gave me Lexapro and the first few weeks was a hard adjustment and after that I felt so much better. I got my life back on track.

I was prescribed Xenical a few years ago and lost just over three stone in four months. I went from a size 18 to a 14 and felt fantastic! I even joined the local gym. Unfortunately my weight stayed the same for a couple of months so I was taken off them. Since then I've had another baby and finding time to eat healthy has been a struggle for me, I am now 16 stone. The doctor has once again prescribed Xenical and I'm determined to keep the weight off this time. If you struggle with diets then I would recommend these, fingers crossed.

I gave a 5 (for now) just took my first dose of 75mg (to take every 8 hours) I will update the score once I've been on it a little longer. I have noticed in the reviews that just like any medicine it works for some people and not others. I'm actually posting regarding the concerns about the cost of the meds. First, discuss this concern with your doctor. No medication will work if you can't afford to pay for it! Or to take smaller doses so you don't have to shell out $ you don't have. I would recommend checking with the manufacturer for discounts, or sometimes getting a medication at no cost. I'm not sure what is available for this manufacturer. There are a lot of pharmaceutical companies that have patient assist programs. Good luck.

I was involved on an job related accident 3-18-95. I had 2 major surgeries on my back. I have been on Duragesic patches, spinal cord stimulator, morphine pump, Actiq lozenges. I have received more relief from hydrocodone and have led a more productive life along with returning back to work full time.

Helped somewhat with congestion but I could not continue to take it due to insomnia (even after taking it during the day) jitters, dizziness, and anxiety.

I've been on the patch for nearly 5 years now and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it! With me being such a forgetful person, I just knew the pill wasn't right for me! I change it [weekly] from one butt cheek to another. My patch has never came off! It actually sticks on really good! I can swim all day with it on and not have to worry about it coming off. I haven't experienced any bad side effects or anything besides craving for more sex! I am truly thankful for this invention! If you are a NON-smoker and under the age of 35, I highly recommend the Ortho Evra Patch!

I have severe osteoarthritis of the right knee and was facing a certain total knee replacement. As a "last resort" for pain relief, I tried Celebrex 200 mg. For about two months, there was no impact on pain or improved knee function. Then (as if by magic), the constant pain went away and my knee function returned to just about normal. I now have the ability to exercise and move like the whole thing never happened! I'm certainly glad I stuck with the medication, as it's been "almost a miracle". Now, I have to decide whether to proceed with knee replacement, or will Celebrex buy me a few more years.

I have had an upper back molar removed today due to a root abscess I didn't even know existed. My head felt like a pressure cooker, I got an ear infection and the mucus drainage was terrible. I went to the doctor who diagnosed a sinus infection, he told me to get my dentist to X-ray my teeth, which revealed a big abscess at the root. I Had been put on amoxicillin 500mg x3 daily but it wasn't doing a great deal after four days so my GP replaced it with Augmentin)500/125 X 3 daily and after another four days minus a molar the mucus and swelling have improved massively. I can breathe again, plus the head pressure has subsided. Works well at the moment with 3 days of the 7 day course remaining. Hope it works for you. GOOD HEALTH TO YOU ALL.

I have tried literally every migraine medicine: Maxalt, Zomig, codeine. I have had migraines for 9 years now and have used Axert for one year. Sometimes it works very well with just one dose combined with Toradol. I have had no side effect with Axert. I use also 50 mg of Topiramate at night before bed. In the Fall weather I have had migraines daily and I am using two doses of Axert (12.5 mg) and probably not waiting a full 24 hours for the next dose. I am now getting Botox injections in the forehead, both sides of the temple and back of the neck. This is a 100cc of Botox every 3 months at $400 a pop. I need to find some relief!

I started taking trulicity 6-8-16. I have been sick every since. Lost ten pounds.can't eat. Have a hard time moving at all. I'm tired all the time. Dizzy and lightheaded. Now a yeast infection. Been coughing too. I'm not taking anymore until I go to Dr Thursday. I believe it works but I can't take feeling like this. Feel too weak.

I've experienced horrible constipation ever since I had a stroke. Took this as a last resort after trying so many other natural remedies, acupuncture, and eating/drinking more fiber/water ,etc-etc. Took it in the evening and about 2 hours later, had a lot of relief, diarrhea though, but not complaining. Better to go than not! Lots of noise in my stomach after going four times. Hopefully, that will subside.

I've been on Contrave for 3 weeks. I've lost 7 lbs total. I'm really watching my calories and stay around 1100 calories a day. No side effects but I do get cravings in the afternoons. I did have a headache the first week, but I think that was from my body reacting to no junk food.

I first started taking Concerta about 2 years ago. I'm almost 13. It works okay but I have been losing my appetite far too much. I'm already really underweight and this drug makes it worse. I've also run into sleep paralysis once or twice.

I was on this birth control for about a year and I don't know why I waited so long to get off of it. I had cyctic acne all over my face (I used to never break out before this pill) and I lost 20 pounds. I'm not a big girl in the first place but this pill got me down to 90 pounds because of the severe nausea. Also, I was moody the entire time I was on it. Went on ortho tri Cyclen and it saved my life.

Very depressed after 2 days. Didn't seem to have an impact on my appetite.

I have been taking tri linyah for 4 years. I have never gotten pregnant on this pill. My boobs got a cup size bigger on it and i was 115 pounds before i took it and after taking it i am 125 pounds. My periods are on time and lighter on the pill. The nausea subsided about 2 months after first taking it. The only thing i didn't like about it is that it gave me mood swings and lower sex drive.

Due to variances in generic medications I kept experiencing thyroid fog until my doctor changed me to synthroid. My stats immediately stabilize and it has worked well. I found I must take it as prescribed and at the same time daily to avoid the fog.

I was on this pill for two months, by the end of it I couldn't stand it anymore. I also felt a lot of anxiety and was very irritable. I also noticed a huge decline in sex drive and acne increased a lot. I found myself getting irritated for no reason a lot of the time. I am very happy I stopped taking it.

I'm on 6 different medications for anxiety/depression/personality disorder. Have been for 7 years now. Atarax being the most recently added. Love it. I'm used to very strong medications and this one helps calm me without making me feel too tired

Great for insomnia. Best to be used pulsating (one day on, one day off), but can also be used day after day. No annoying side effects (only dry mouth, but when you sleep you don't notice) and very effective. No addiction, no withdrawal.

Not trusting the source (s) of reviews of this medication from 'company-friendly' sites, hope this one actually gets published. Zoloft was a nightmare, nine-day experience. Kept reading the 'keep taking it!' reviews and those were simply not true to me. Most everyone will eventually cycle back to feeling much better, especially if they have support. Zoloft will push you over the edge if you keep taking it. Had every side effect - bizarre urination flow, horrible gas, insomnia, etc. Would suggest people considering Zoloft to stick with something short-term and short-acting. Feel better and wean yourself off and don't let one quack doctor talk you out of that mindset.

I was on Ativan (Lorazepam) for awhile but found it highly addicting. I switched to Xanax (alprazolam) and it's fast acting and settles your anxiousness, sense of panic, and has a calming effect. I take them as needed. But if I have had a long stretch of taking them, it's not difficult to lower the dose and take them as needed. Your body doesn't go into absolute fits or seizures (as Ativan does). I'll take this forever. It's helped me live more normally.

I was prescribed Augmentin for a severe sinus infection. After about 3 days of taking it, I developed this weird skin rash first on the knuckles of both of my ring fingers, then noticed I had the same spots on my knees in the same place on both knees. This spread to both of my elbows also and creeped me out a little so I just stopped taking the medicine altogether. It did seem to take the sinus infection away, but I make sure to tell my doctors I'm allergic to it now just in case I have a more severe reaction in the future. This rash just looked like red dots, no burning or itching either... Pretty strange.

I have used Cerelle for 9 days I feel very good. I used because I had bad migrenes while period. No headache. My mood is good stable

Prilosec has always worked for me since I went off Nexium but I recently tried the flavored one and I can no longer take just one pill a day to keep the burning away....so off to the store today to get my regular Prilosec since I have finally finished the flavored box. No more of the flavored one for me.

2.5 mg Abilify and 50 mg Sertraline are magic combinations for my depression. other SSRI and monotherapy of Sertraline don't work but my psychiatrist adds 2.5 mg Abilify and now I can smile again!

Everyone is saying they bleed way too much with this birth control, I have had one period in the past three months, I almost thought I was pregnant because of how moody and sick I was getting. I did experience weight gain, a panic attack, and suicidal thoughts. I still have the implant, because it does its job well. I feel pain in the injection site almost constantly. I can feel the device under my skin and it's weird as hell. But at least I'm not pregnant.

I have osteoarthritis. I have used prednisone twice . I had a second flare up and after day 2 I could function with no pain at all. I do not think from what I have read that I can stay on it long term. Just flare ups and use Ibuprofen which does take the edge off. I wish I could take prednisone longer because it gives me my life back.

This medication worked great for the situational issue I had been in but the withdrawl side effects that you're not told about were not worth it. I tried tapering off of it very SLOWLY 5 or 6 times and failed every time because the withdraw side effects were that terrible. I eventually got off of 100mg and it took about 2-3 months. I used a nail file to taper my doses with an astronomically high amount of B12 and Omega fish oils. I recommend seeing an Iridologist before going to a doctor for meds.

I am 44 years old and have suffered from general and social anxiety as long as can remember and have used many drugs through the years. I am currently on remeron, wellbutrin and buspar. I take 10mg of buspar 3 times a day and it has a subtle calming effect on the mind and body. If you are looking for a drug that will let you forget you have anxiety, buspar is not for you. If you are looking for a drug that is non habit forming, that has a low side effect profile, has no withdrawal issues and will help you manage your anxiety than buspar is you you. Good luck.

Only benzodiazepine that worked completely. Been on all the others. Have tried antidepressants with negative results. So at the correct dose. Alprazolam is what I consider the hardest working anxiety and stress reliever available.

4 months after the 3rd injection developed a gum abscess. Followed by loose teeth, inability to chew semihard substance such as apple and chewy vegetables. Also developed rash and bladder infection. Still has loose sensitive teeth 12 months after last injection. Precribing doctor has denied association. 2 Dentists found nothing wrong with the teeth just prior to the abscess developing. Recommended root canal, but treated conservatively.

I was experiencing anxiety and depression for awhile. Being a full time student didn't help the situation at all so I finally decided to get on a medication that my doctor recommended and one that wouldn't have a side effect of weight gain. The first week I woke up in the middle of the night with huge panic attacks and feeling like I didn't know where I was at! After a few days, I realized it was just a side effect of my medication. Another side effect I experienced the first week was being extremely tired. So tired that I had to pull over while I was driving one day and have my brother take over. Now that I've been on Duloxetene 30mg for a few weeks it has done wonders! My mood is so much more stabilized. High recommend this drug!! :)

54 YO WM, former distance runner who sustained a career ending injury, and over a 3 year period, my Cholesterol slowly climbed to an unacceptable level. 210ish (with an HDL of 75) to 290. I have a family history but still that was a scary and surprising discovery. My last Lipid panel before starting 20mg of Atorvastatin daily was: Total Cholesterol: 290; HDL: 43; LDL: 210; Non-HDL: 247; Triglycerides: 185. 8 months later after the atorvastatin, Total: 189; HDL: 47; LDL:114; Non HDL: 142; Triglycerides: 138. Zero side effects except for some weight gain that I can't totally pin back to the medication, and my Doc wants to up my dosage to 40MG per day to bring everything down another 25% or so, and to try to get my HDL into the 50s. Perfect drug for me.

I've been on Gildess for about 2 months, and I absolutely hate it. I'm always on my period, and never feel good. I always feel groggy, lethargic, and have constant cramps. I cry for no reason and my depression caused me to have therapy sessions. I switched from Emoquette after a year because I gained 20 pounds, which is horrible. I always have a headache on Gildess. I do not recommend for anyone. Hopefully I can find the correct birth control.

Mitigates joint pain; bothers my stomach much less than aspirin or ibuprofen.

I was diagnosed with hypothyroidsm and extremely low levels of vitamin b12 which were wreaking all kinds of havoc in my body, so my doctor prescribed me Propranolol for high blood pressure and rapid pulse/palpitations, and it did really work for both problems, helped a little with my anxiety too, but I quit it after ten weeks because I was so drowsy all day long, I also started breaking out pretty bad in the face, scalp and hairline, not sure if it's related to Propral, but at least the fatigue and general "depressive mood" subsided instantly when I stopped taking it.

This is a great medication with no side effects.

I am a 20 year old college student and Nuvaring is the first hormonal birth control I've tried. It's now the second month I've been using the ring and I am feeling great with no side effects! If you are trying Nuvaring for the first time, there will be a lot of breakthrough bleeding the first month until your body adjusts to the hormones. After the first month the bleeding stopped and everything's back to normal. I recommend this birth control for extremely busy women who want convenience and simplicity, and Nuvaring has both. This is great birth control, I would encourage any woman to try it!

Used this to treat water retention and worked great. Passed a lot of urine quickly.

Diagnosed at 18, went on until 28. I had a miserable existence for 10 years. 5 minutes after eating, I better be near a toilet. Gastroenterologists tested and tried so many different things with no success. Told my GI I was having a substantially lower quality of life with this problem. He prescribed me Welchol. The next day, I enjoyed my first meal in years and cried. Truly was a miracle pill for me.

My mom and I are symptomatic carriers of hemophilia B and both have heavy periods. My mom has fibroids while I don't. Tranexamic acid has been a miracle. It stopped flooding, gushing, and anemia. We're normal women again! We have found that you can cut the dose in half and it still works. We also wait to start taking it until we're about a day into our periods to make sure we don't run out before the actual end of the period. Do not delay taking the pills on time after you begin taking them each cycle or you may gush! I'm on medicaid and had to appeal to get them to cover the cost, but they did because I can't take birth control.

I was on Zoloft for Depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Panic Disorder. Initially, Zoloft helped me a lot and I didn't have any kind of panic attacks, a constant sense of mild anxiety, or depression all that bad. However, after about a year of being on it it started to make me feel like a complete zombie. I had zero motivation for anything which reflected in my grades and I'm normally an obsessive overachiever in school.. I just kind of let myself go. I wasn't depressed but I wasn't happy, it just put me in this fog-like feeling. The withdraw for me felt like I might as well have been coming off heroin. I couldn't eat or sleep, I had cold sweats, nausea/vomiting, and I had anxiety like never before. It was truly a nightmare.

Exceptional.

Yesterday I went to the emergency room with severe vertigo that I had for three days prior and a migraine had started two days after the vertigo and it was painful it was the first time I ever went to an emergency room for a head ache. They were very worried I could not walk due to the severe vertigo so they decided to give me mezacline and Reglan in an IV drip and something for nausea and within 10 minutes of the IV I began shaking uncontrollably all over and my muscles were twitching my stomach was burning horribly and I literally felt a panic so severe I thought I was dying and finally it became so bad the doctor gave me a Valium and within 10 minutes I felt back to normal .Reglan was the problem and I NEVER want that feeling again!

After having 20 grs of Octagam I felt a little dizzy and a minor headache.

Its the only thing that has really worked to help the pain in my back, following an auto accident.

I started this on 12/25/13 I was at 214 lbs. Now I'm at 203lbs. My goal is to be at 150lbs. Love this.

My neurologist prescribed Nortriptyline for Neuropathy. It did not help much for that condition.However, at the time I was suffering from severe depression due to having to place my husband in a nursing home. The medication did wonders for me and I have been a daily user since that time.

I am 20 yrs old when I initially got it inserted waited a month for unprotected sex with my bf to make sure it's effectiveness, everything was great the first 8-10 months I stopped getting my period and most importantly the implanon was very effective, no weight gain, when I reach about a year/year and a half I started getting acne which I've never experienced before, at the time I didn't realize it was the implanon until I started researching, my period started coming VERY irregular, it lasts months with a 2-3 break, made it very uncomfortable to even want to have sex. So over all it does prevent you from getting pregnant and its very effective but keep in mind these side effects!I only regret it bc of the mood swings,acne, period duration

It's not that bad, the taste could be more flavored, overall, I just used hard candies to suck on before chugging it down and afterwards. I chilled my next two 16 Oz bottles of water in the freezer. It did make me nauseated, I kept burping like I was going to heive. To relieve the sore bum, I put a&d ointment on beforehand, and used baby wipes without alcohol.

Just started this and like it so far. I keep waking up with morning wood and my erections are harder then normal. Urine flow is slightly better and bathroom trips are less.

I'm on 3.75mg and it hasn't really helped with my insomnia. I take it at 8.30pm (along with 15mg mirtazapine and 2mg diazapam) and I still don't get to sleep until 1am, then I wake up anything up to 8 or 9 times in the night for half an hour. Only side effect is I've found I salivate more.

I am 21 a mother to a 2 year old daughter and 3 month old son. I put Mirena in a month ago and I have not stopped bleeding since! The only good thing I can say is that I am not pregnant..I'm going to have it removed tomorrow!

For those of you experiencing fatigue, it would make sense to take Cymbalta at night. This is how I have dealt with fatigue with many medications and was also the advice of my doctor. ALSO, for those with side effects that are bothersome, I was advised to give it more than a week because they usually dissipate. Don't stop taking it after only a few days!

During my periods I had intense cramps and heavy bleeding.That's why I chose the convenience of this birth control.I got my inplant put in July 31st 2015. Midway in August I experienced intense pain while laying down, as if I literally was stabbed. As soon as I got up I had major shedding of my walls.September 8th I started my period, ever since than I have been bleeding. During April I went to my gyno and she ran a test stating it could be an infection. Results came back that's not the issue. I have gained almost 30lbs during this time. I'm extremely irritable and get upset over the smallest things. I'm no longer am able to self lubricat, which makes intercourse painful. Overall for me it isnt worth it.

My experience with the implant has not been the best but it had done the job. I got my implant April 2015 and soon after I got it started my period and it ended like normal. 5 weeks into the implant I started my period again and this time it wasn't going away my period last 4 months and first 2 weeks were heavy bleeding and then the next few months were light bleeding and spotting. This affected my sex life as I didn't want to have sex on my period or even when I had spotting. My situation now is I refuse to take it off as I didn't experience any weight gain depression or any other weird mood as that is caused my my family. Now about 1 year and 4 months into the implant I still get prolonged bleeding bleed for 2 months & spotting 1 month.

I just completed a 5 day pack of Methylprednisone 4mg and my neck pain gradually went away but I am paying the price because I have had upset stomach, diarrhea, etc. since the third day of the five day program. However the pain is almost gone. I hope my stomach restores itself soon because I don't remember feeling so bad. It's like a 5 day hangover.

I was prescribed this drug for panic disorder and was on it for 2 weeks. I have never felt wise in my entire life. I did bit eat or drink unless forced, spiraled into depression, and just was not the excited loving person I normally am. I world go home and state at the wall for 5 hours then crawl into bed and sleep. I had nightmares each night. I felt dead and like I was floating above my body. My friends and teachers became more worried than before. I had to get off that pill

Since starting this medication I've had horrible nausea and the need to drink a lot of water. I thought maybe I'm becoming diabetic since diabetes make you feel so thirsty but we have glucose meters and its always in normals ranges 90-120 yet I feel like I haven't drank water all day and my lips are dry and chapped. I called my OBGYN to get it changed but they claim its not a side effect from the pill and I haven't seen this side effect on here. But what a coincidence that I decide to stop taking Estarylla (spelling) pill and I'm not compelled to drink as much water as I did when I was taking it. I don't recommend it.

I've been taking Contrave for a week now, I'm down 6lbs. My appetite is curved and only crave water. I have put together a workout plan I do everyday to help. Yesterday I didn't drink enough water during the day and I was sick to my stomach. As long as you stay hydrated it's great.

I was diagnosed with H Pylori and I was throwing up and nauseated every day for an entire month finally I was hospitalized and they gave me phenergran and God Bless the person who created this drug. Even now when I feel the slightest bit of nausea I take it and it'll knock me out and wake up feeling great

I had occipital nerve damage with pressure in my inner ear. Pressure is gradually lowered enabling me to exert myself for about 4 hours but exhausted. I now take 225 mg twice daily and cannot miss one dose. Nothing else worked. I took up to 600 mg but found no difference in relief so I am on the 225 twice daily. This is one medication that does not mix well with alcohol. It induces a coma like state that lasts for 30 minutes and longer. I was drinking beer and only had 3 beers in 2 hours. Then BOOM goes the dynamite! But am aware of everything going around me but can't move or respond. When it's over, it's over and I am vertical again. So now I know why the ad states avoid alcohol!

This is not a joke. I literally took this medicine at 2:30pm and started having a panic attack at the library and had to leave. it is now 10:30pm and I just texted my sorority group chat asking if there was an earthquake because I literally felt the entire house shaking. My body is reacting so terribly to this medicineIi do not recommend taking this at all. Now my entire sorority thinks I am crazy.

Absolutely ineffective for my GAD....stuck with it for a year based on pdoc advice. Now I have to deal with tapering. What a mistake that has been. Additionally, I have tried several other ssri's as well as a few ssri's all to no avail. Suicidal thoughts, intolerable side effects, lack of any efficacy. Without Benzodiazepan's I would not be here now.

This medication made me not want to get out of bed. It was difficult to get up in the morning and I felt tired and unmotivated. It was a relief when I stopped after trying it for 3 months. I still had migraines.

First time when I took cialis it (6 days) made my ankle swell twice there size, taking 5 mg, so I stop taking it. I do have ED and Bph so one pill for 2 ailments sounded great. Next DR appointment we discussed the problem and decided to try it again I'm on day 8 no ankle problem Bph getting better but no erection. Since it has been 10 years for my last erection. it may take 30 to 45 days to take affect according to some experts. I guess only time will tell

I have never left a review on a medication before in my life, but after a year on this med, I felt I had to. I am a 32 year old female who has suffered with anxiety and panic disorder/agoraphobia my whole life. It got so bad that I dropped out of grad school a few years ago and was completely housebound with panic and derealization and I was fainting from the attacks in public! No medicine ever worked for me until I tried seroquel. Hands down, it gave me my life back. I can drive, I can go to my kids' school and functions alone, I can socialize again. I feel totally free! I was SO scared of starting this drug but it has been my lifeline! The ONLY downside has been the weight gain-- 15 lbs that won't budge ;(

I dont even know where to start.... This Med is heaven sent. I had trouble staying awake during the day. I couldn't sit down for 20 minutes without dozing off and snoring like a chainsaw. Going to the movies was a waste of time and money. I was hesitant about taking this med as with any other meds but I finally took the plunge after 1.5 years of online research and so glad I did. I now stay awake all day without falling asleep everywhere I go. If I could describe how I feel on this I would compare it to a time I was 13 years old wanting to go out and play street ball with my friends where they are all there waiting for me to come out. I was anxious but not in a negative way more like a kid waiting for xmas.

I am a 20 year old female and I suffered with IBS all my life. I went to the GP a few weeks ago after trying everything I could get my hands on (including some super strong liquid laxatives) with hardly any luck. The doctor prescribed me these to take on a daily basis (one at night before bed with a glass of water). I must admit I was a bit sceptical at first, and the first 2-3 days I had horrendous stomach cramps that left me almost doubled over in pain, but I decided to persist and I'm so glad I did. Every morning I go to the toilet without any problems, but the toilet trips got a bit to excessive so I now take one tablet every two days and this works perfectly fine for me.

I was addicted to pain meds after surgery at 20. Then I started doing heroin to stay out of W/D. 7 long years later on heroin I heard a news clip for Suboxone heading here from Europe. I jumped on the phone and got an appointment. It went great. I went through W/D for 72 hours dying all the way through. The doctor started with 1-8mg. Sub., then 2, then 3. Finally it worked for me (24mg.) I have been on Suboxone almost 17 happy years. One day my doctor wanted to switch me to Zubsolv cause he had 15 free sample script and wanted me to try it . At first it was amazing (11-4) 2x's a day, 4 hours later I was W/D. It's horrible for me. It does not work for everyone. I'm back on Subs and back to my life. Zubsolv can't compare to my Suboxone!

I got this in August 2016, the only part that hurt was the numbing shot. I got my period when I usually did yet it was SO heavy and SO painful. The blood clots were very large also which was horrible. My first three periods were very heavy to the point where I was debating if I should take it out as well as they were slight prolonged (about a week and a half) Then I skipped my period for two months and now my period is prolonged (It's been almost two weeks). my period was about to end normally, I felt myself get off my period and so I decided to have sex. The day after I start bleeding again and it's just blood clots and brownish red blood? I'm just hoping my body is cleaning out the two month build up. Overall not bad and no side effects

I was the one who posted below under "testing it out." Last I was here I was nervous it wasn't going to work. WELL, let me tell you. Just hang in there for the first three months friends because your life is about to get better. Literally right after my third period of being on Yaz I noticed an immediate difference. Acne has drastically reduced to the point of it basically being non-existent. My skin is finally starting to heal with the help of a dark spot corrector and my confidence is through the roof. THANK YOU YAZ!

I started taking this medication three months ago,November. The doctor told me it would take up to three months to work .After the first month the fatigue lessened.I didn't want to sleep all day long,I actually wanted to move.Soon after the occurrence of joint pain also lowered.It still hurts when I push myself to hard and on.rainy days but the pain isn't consistent anymore.

Have been taking Epclusa for just over a week now constantly feel tired, but after 35yrs of living with hep c I reckon it's a small price to pay. I'm also on Suboxone 8 mg a day wondering if this has anything to do with tiredness. Can only hope that it knocks this disease on the head and I can get a few extra years out of this abused body of mine. Glad it's on the PBS scheme here in Australia

Being 18 years old and choosing a birth control method for the first was a very scary thing to do especially when I have a horrible memory taking pills everyday but my doctor gave me a variety and I thought nuvaring would be a good idea to start off. Ever since I started I love it! I was so scared due to the horrible reviews but honestly nuvaring was the best choice I could've pick! I love how it's a monthly process, no pills needed and you have control of taking it in and out. I had no problem with side effects I feel happy, I really recommend this birth control method!

Day 3 here! First day felt completely normal, yesterday kicked my butt! About 6 hours after my dose I felt super light headed and queasy for about 3 hours. Other than that I'm pretty hopeful and excited to see how well it works for me with diet and exercise. Some of the reviews I've read and seen are discouraging but I'm staying strong!

Got the birth control inserted in January 2015. It hurt when I first got it inserted. And for a few months after that. My period became regular in MAY. From time to time I get birth control cramps, especially after having sex with my husband. The only thing I would worry about is the fact that you may sometimes get vaginal infections. Like BV for example. I love this BC because I've lost weight

I was super excited to get this birth control because I wouldn't have to worry with taking a pill. Mirena or any IUD was NOT an option for me. Wouldn't have that if my life depended on it! Anyways, I had the Nexplanon places Aug 6, 2015. Today is Dec 31, 2015 and I'm planning on having it removed soon! First off, I have had brown discharge since the day it was placed.. and have only have maybe one period. There literally hasn't been a day that I haven't had to wear either a panty liner or a pad due to the discharge. Second, I have had headaches at least 4 days a week since I had my BC placed. Third, my mood swings are crazy!! However I have always been the type to get aggravated easily, I've never been this hateful! Over it!!!!!!!!

I used to be a 2-pack smoker. I had been smoking for 17 years since age 14. I had tried to quit many times with a limited success. Chantix is a miracle drug that helped to quit for good almost 3 years ago.
