"Med Fast diagnosed me with just flu symptoms and was send home with just an Albuterol prescription.  My Primary Care Doctor called me same day and from hearing my voice and telling him my symptoms, my Doctor immediately prescribed me Biaxin 500MG 1 pill 2 x a day for 7 days.  Within hours, fever and aches went away and I remain this way. Obviously, bacterial infection somewhere.  Biaxin is a wonderful medicine."


"Klonopin is a wonderful drug for anxiety and panic attacks.  However, once you start it is very hard to come off of.  I stopped for 2 yrs and it took me 8 months to feel normal again.  But if you really need it, this in my opinion works wonderful for anxiety and panic attacks."


"Been taking it for nausea while on chemo. IT works!!!  And at the same time I am actually feeling better, like maybe it has some sort of mood lifting properties!"


"I've been on Alesse for three months now, and although I haven't suffered any weight loss/gain, acne or nausea I have felt extremely fatigued and lethargic. Not to mention the fact that my period would randomly start halfway through when I still had 7 or 8 active pills left. And when my period did start I would suffer bouts of depression, crying for no reason, spending all day in bed and entertaining a few suicidal thoughts.

I will be discontinuing use of Alesse and I plan to speak with my doctor about other alternatives.

As a contraceptive the pills work, but they are not worth the side effects I was eduring"


"I have been taking this pill for the past 3 years. I had been on a different pill before that uses a different combo of hormones.  I started Micronor because the other birth control made me have high levels of anxiety.  Ever since I switched it has been great!  No pregnancies and I honestly do not take it at the same time every night.  Anywhere between 9pm and 1am.  It has in fact stopped my period which is worrisome sometimes because it tells you you're not pregnant; however, I was very irregular even before birth control.  To everyone there I love this product!"


"Been taking lisinopril 10 mg for about 10 months and found it highly effective in controlling my high blood pressure from close to 150-78 down to about 119-65. No side effects experienced other than feeling slight dizziness when getting up from the floor after doing abdominals in the gym."


"If I could give this product a double negative I would. I Have used the 7 day treatment in the past but wanted to save some time & bought the 3 day treatment. Let me start by saying this was the worst experience ever! I would've been better off lighting my vagina on fire. Immediately after use the burning & itching was unbearable, worse than the mild YI I was treating. I literally had to go take a sits bath and take an 800 mg ibuprofen. I will go back to the 7 day treatment and wish I could get my $20 back from this medication. This 3 day product should be banned!!"


"I have used this medicine since 1985 and it has worked well on seasonal allergies (grass pollen, tree, spores, etc.). It works best if used every day."


"It works well for about 6 months but it had effects of memory loss forgetting things that I had never forgotten that did not come back.  Also I cried a lot but it could have been just living alone suddenly and life situation had a lot of ADD on it."


"I went to the gyno for the first time in April. I was not on BC but I was sexually active in a committed relationship. My German gyno with 50  years of experience recommended BC but I said I was not comfortable with it because of hormone things and other side effects I had heard of. She insisted and I caved. She told me to stop using condoms after the first two weeks of BC. I had never done that before. I read the BC prescription insert when I picked up the meds and decided it was safe to follow the doctor's advice. I TOOK EVERY PILL AROUND 7:00 EVERY DAY. Many won't believe me, but that doesn't matter because it's true. It is July. I am 6 weeks pregnant. Trust it if you want to, but mine isn't the only I got pregnant on Tri-Sprintec story."


"Asprin is much better,than Advil,Aleve for back pain and pain in joints. It's cheap and effective. The biggest disadvantage for aspirin is gastrointestinal disturbances."


"I had the nexplanon put in about two months ago and have only had one period since. The period was normal and light and lasted about 4 days. I had cramps during that time, but it was nothing unbearable. Since that time I have been happy to not have to take any oral contraceptives in a timely fashion. I've heard a variety of stories from this form of birth control, but I would definitely recommend it to someone who doesn't want to take something daily! Also, the procedure does hurt a little, but they do numb you and it's very quick!"


"This is the third medicine I've tried.  You rub it into your thigh or arm area (I couldn't do arms because I have tattoos and was told not to because of that.).  It takes awhile to dry and is sticky.  I was paranoid one of my dogs would get it on their skin, as they are always on my lap.  One a scale of 1 to 10 if 10 is perfect, I would give this a 4. It worked a little, enough to notice, but not enough to be happy.  I did not like applying it at all.

I am now on Santura and love it.  See my review of that medicine.  Good luck!"


"I was on the patch a year ago but everytime i put the patch on after my period i got severe nausea that left me in bed ALL day. I put up with this bc i loved the ease of the patch but it became too much. My college gyno switched me to sronyx. I love it! At first i got some cramps with my period which i had never gotten before but after a month of being on it that has gone away. I did not gain weight at all & actually lost weight, though that may be from other problems (GERD). My period is also lighter and shorter. The only negative side effects i can say are that within the first month and a half  i was VERY moody. I got angry very easily, but that has gotten better. i also get more breakouts (chest, face, and back) but they are very minor."


"I was struggling with really bad cystic hormonal acne and frequent white heads. I looked horrible and felt depressed inside. I couldn't look anyone in the eyes. Acne has really sunked my self esteem. When I was on this for a week.. let me just say.. This works!! (For me) I tried everything there is.. Proactiv, antibiotics, eating better, going to a naturalist. This pill, in 2-3months, cleared my acne. It was like a miracle. I'm so thankful for it and it only costs me $8. It saved my life basically!!"


""just stopped because I have been on it to long, it will cause bone loss"

-->Actually, this has recently been refuted! I almost had a hysterectomy last summer after my GYN told me I had to stop for bone loss & the surgeon's a leading expert in her field - told me to ride the Depo Train as long as it prevents my god-awful periods & then come back for the surgery.  She emailed me the studies, so I verified the info myself."


"I had this put in my arm in March of 2014. I have always had a problem with the spotting. It is so much more annoying and very inconvenient at times. I have the worst possible mood swings, I am so angry to my boyfriend and I feel awful because then 2 minutes later I will be loving again. so its very confusing to him, and me as well. I'm sick of the mood swings, and the weight I've gained with it, I used to have such a flat skinny tummy and now I don't anymore. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, yes it prevents pregnancy but going through an emotional roller coaster and not knowing when your going to be done really sucks and is not worth the pain."


"This pill is not the best for me. Before going on it about 5 months ago, I had worked very hard to lose 20lbs, just to gain 15 of it back in about 2.5 to 3 months, with no real change in diet. I was even working out every day! The weight just will not go away.  My mood has been unstable, not out of control, but very hit and miss. I have developed dark spots on my face which are very embarrassing, as well as acne. My hair is brittle and breaks and so do my nails. The only "perk" is that my boobs have gotten bigger, but they were pretty large to begin with, so that is really only good for my boyfriend. I have an appointment to change my pill TODAY!"


"I have been on Bydureon for approx. 8 weeks now. My morning glucose has gone from 230, down to 105 now. I don't really feel any different with it lower but it is probably helping my kidneys to preform better.  As far as the larger needle, I started injecting in my thigh and barely feel it. At first I was ravenous and was really surprised, now sometimes I have to remind myself to eat and eat much smaller portions.  I've lost 16 lbs. and I'm at the lowest weight I've been in 35 years. When I first started, I would feel nausea and throw up for no reason when my dose was wearing off, the doctor said she had never heard of that complaint before!  My only complaint is that the medicine seems to stick to the vial and I really have to beat on it!"


"I am 16 years old and have been sweating like crazy since I started middle school. I always had to wear jackets and loose fitting shirts to hide my sweat stains. I was embarrassed to tell my mom, but I had enough. I talked to my mom about it and she told me that I should mention it to my doctor on the next visit. Which was luckily the next day. My doctor gave me Hypercare. I am on day 4 and it has helped a lot. The little "dab-o-meter" that came with it doesn't work so I have to dab my finger in it and apply it to my underarms. The first day it burned a little and stung but nothing too much. But on the 3rd day It was hard to fall asleep it was so itchy I couldn't take it, but I managed. Hypercare so far has done wonders for me."


"Just to update an older review:  Amlodipine has completely eliminated my migraines.  I haven't had a single migraine since I started taking 10mg of Amlodipine about 3.5 years ago.  I used to have 2-4 full blown 18 hour -2 day migraines a month.  No side effects or downside to medication so far.  It's worth a try."


"I was switched from microgestin to junel due to the former being out-of-stock at the pharmacy that my health insurance mandates I use.  Two and a half weeks of constant cramping will, I'm sure, make me less than pleasant when I demand my old birth control."


"Pain started 2005, diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis 2010. Cannot tolerate methotrexate, sulfa medicines and prednisone has severe negative psychological side effects.  New Dr. in 2012 prescribed Enbrel. Took about 2 weeks to really kick on and then worked beautifully until recently. Now am having flares, swelling in AM, by mid week it wears off and I am hurting badly. At this point I am getting 2-3 good days out of 7 but I will continue as long as possible 2-3 out of 7 is better than 0-7. I miss when it worked all week. When Enbrel works it is awesome. I have used the Pfizer relief program and only pay $10 out of pocket. Without that it would have been too expensive even with our good insurance."


"I started taking Belviq two weeks ago. At first I only took one pill a day, but on week two I moved to two pills a day as prescribed. I've lost 8lbs in two weeks by taking the pill as directed, twice a day, and maintaining my calorie intake (1200 or below). I've also made sure I'm drinking at least 100oz of water each day and have cut out sodas throughout the week. I have faith that I'll reach my Weightloss goal."


"I was prescribed Percocet for a foot injury. It was a lifesaver. Percocet dealt with the pain and helped my mood at the same time.  I have noticed others' comments about its help with mood, and I have concluded that there is a correlation to its efficacy and anxiety.  "


"I had 2 doses of the shot. One in October 2016 and then Jan. 2017. I literally had a period from January til August! That's 8 whole months! I would not recommend this form of bc unless you don't mind bleeding. I had to start bc pills to regulate my period again."


"I started Adipex two days ago. I'm 21 years old 5' tall and weigh 158lbs. According to my BMI and my doctors visit I am at the breaking point of obesity. I have had many struggles in the past with getting back to my goal weight of 105-110 and decided to give Adipex a shot. Obesity runs in my family and I hope to stop the cycle. I haven't had any side effects so far except for occasional dry mouth so I just drink water which is good anyway. I have had a great experience so far with increased energy and a suppressed appetite. I want to keep up with at least exercising for 30min a day and eating better and hopefully I will see results at the end of month one. I want to be at my goal weight which is a loss of about 50lbs in around 8 months. Wish me luck!"


"I would never have a reclast infusion again. Felt OK for a couple of weeks and thought I had missed all the problems people reported from it.  After that my joints all started hurting and hurt for about 6 weeks. I felt so bad I didn't feel like doing anything, just sitting in a recliner hurt. It started to get some better and then my jaw started to hurt, it even made my teeth hurt on that side. I could hardly chew. It has slowly gotten better, but still hurts some, but has taken 6 months to finally start to feel like normal.. Will not do that again...."


"This worked really well. I've taken the pills and they don't do anything for my chronic migraines. I did experience some mild tingling in my limbs a few minutes after and a weird warm, flushing feeling in my chest. The warm, flushing feeling in my chest came almost immediately after the injection. It didn't last long and my heartbeat was normal. At least, it felt normal.

Minor pain at injection site but no biggie. Overall, this little pen saved my work day and killed what usually would be a 24-48hr migraine and ordeal!"


"I have had great results with this medicine. I've been taking this for several months. The headaches have all but gone. "Guess I'm getting used to them". You need to hang in there with the headaches. The benefits are worth it."


"I've suffered from acne since I was about 12 years old and I've had to deal with it straight up until college. Over the years I tried countless acne products, but nothing worked for me and I became really discouraged. Luckily, I was recently prescribed the Retin A Cream 0.05% by my dermatologist and my skin is thriving! My blemishes has cleared up so much, it is mindboggling. I can't tell you how much this cream has helped my skin. It's been like a blessing. When I first started using it, I was skeptical because I didn't see any results, but keep using. Don't become discouraged! It works. If it worked for me, someone who has struggled with acne for half of her life, it will work for you."


"I'm 23 years old and I've been suffering from on again off again moderate depression since I was about 18 years old. I am considering Pristiq and this is why. My father, a great guy who suffered through depression since he was about my age, has been on Pristiq for the past couple of years and I have to say, it's made HUGE improvements in his mood. He has shown no visible "to me at least" side effects. He used to be cranky, unhappy, and just overall openly expressed severe dislike for the world and the human race. Since he's been on Pristiq though he has done a complete 180 he no longer hates everything so much, and is very fun to be around, he is almost always in a good mood and enjoys spending time with his family."


"This is the only antidepressant that was  beneficial to me. Following a steroid induced psychosis, I just was never the same. Terrible anxiety, up at night, deep depression every now and then.
I will say that my sleep didn't fall into place until I was on the 20mg.
I can't imagine life without this medicine!"


"This was the first birth control pill I tried. I went to my OBGYN with concerns about serious period irregularity. They just threw the pill at me. Within the first month I gained almost 10 pounds. I did have a slight appetite increase but I know most of it was because of this pill. At the time I didn't realize it but once I stopped I realized that I had been acting different on it. And I was also depressed a lot which isn't normal for me. I stayed on this brand for a few months then ultimately switched. As soon as I switched to a different forumla I lost the 10 pounds I gained in just 2 weeks, and I wasn't eating any different. It was crazy. overall, did its job. It regulated my periods and I never got pregnant. But side effects sucked."


"I have trouble taking meds and was scared to take escitralopram! Started on 10 mg and had it lowered to 5 mg until adjusting to it!! I want the full affect but don't know when to up the dosage! Still wake up anxious in mornings!"


"I took EllaOne about an hour after having sex with my partner. The condom burst, it was an unfortunate accident. This happened 6 days before I was due my cycle, which is quite regular.
The only side effect I had endured was breast tenderness for a few days afterwards.  No spotting or bleeding. On the day I was due my period, I suffered abdominal pains which I wouldn't have associated with cycle pains. When my period didn't come, that is when I started frantic researching; reading forums can be very scary and stress you out even more. I had a tendency to latch onto negative experiences. I stressed myself out to the point of sickness.
My period arrived 2 days late and I know that EllaOne did the job :) Every body is unique. Relax!"


"On my second week and I'm probably going to stop.  I'm experiencing terrible hot flashes and chills and am not sleeping. I'm so sorry it is not working."


"I have been on this for the better part of the last 10 years! I loved the convenience of only having to deal with it 4 times per year. I also was lucky enough to rarely have a period (maybe light spotting once a year). However in the last 6 months, I've been having heavy, irregular periods so I am looking into different treatment but I will miss the ease of the shot!"


"I was taken off Lexapro and put on this. It's made me extremely angry. I can't do my school work or anything. I want off this NOW."


"2 months. Went through the dry skin, red skin, 'ugly phase'. But stick with it. It really does work!!! My skin tone is perfect and my skin is so clear."


"I had high pressure in eye after cataract surgery. This lowered the pressure in two days.  Made me spacey and I slept a lot but it worked!"


"I am 65 with RA and have been on 8 different biologics.  Now on simphone doing well.  Methotrexate gave me interstitial fibrosis, another drug a dvt.  They all come with a price physically and financially but quality of life verses quantity....I choose quality. It's good to read others experiences it helps ..."


"I've been on contrave since Nov 30th.  My first week was without the scale, but I still lost 5lbs!  I didn't exercise just yet a little afraid to. I got  dry mouth and a funny taste on my tongue like some kind of film.  No depression, No headache, just anxious in the evening like restlessness while sleeping.  I'm a runner and I compete in my local area.  I've gained 40 lbs in a year due to post menopause issues.  This pill is helping curb my appetite and carvings love it.  I feel full and I'm excited to see more results in the up coming weeks.  I took my second pill last night I was very restless in my sleep.  I hoping to start running this week and to take my second dose earlier so I will be able to sleep."


"the first month was horrible i was so moody and hated everyone it felt like. I am going back to discuss different options but this did make me very moody and gain weight. Also made me dry."


"It works great for the symptoms of my allergies and hay fever.  It does make me extremely sleepy though.  But, I suppose that is better then having a pounding headache or a sneezing/coughing attack."


"I have been on this birth control going on 5 years this May and about 2-3 years ago I noticed that I have been discharging severely (yellowish liquid) almost everyday.  Does anybody else experience this while on this BC?  Also the mood swings are terrible as well."


"I had an acute gout attack in my big toe which was extremely painful and started right away with very high doses of Ibuprofen. After 3 days there was little to no change, still very painful, not able to walk and red and swollen. I read about Naproxen on this page and - living in the UK - it is only available in the format of Feminax, which are tablets for period pain relief. Having nothing to lose, I went ahead and bought a pack. I started at 8am with 2 pills (500 mg) which started to relief the pain about 2 hours later. I took the third pill (250 mg) at 4pm. By 7pm I could feel no pain at all. At midnight I took the next pill (8 hours later, again 250 mg) and when I woke up at 7 I had no symptoms left. What a great pill."


"OMG!! I didn't go to the bathroom for almost a month I did go a little not much than I started to get wicked bad heart burn, so I said let me try the movantik again, within 15 mins I began to sweat profusely I'm not kidding,. I was drenched with sweat and had cramps so bad  I thought I died, and the chills I couldn't believe that this could actually do this to someone, and the throwing up was also horrible!! No lie I thought I was puking poop, I was so grossed out and I'm still sweating like no tomorrow and it's been 2 days now since I took a dose of it, I'm glad it works for some but I wouldn't give that to my worse enemy!! That stuff is just horrible!! I've been on methadone for almost 18 years now for back pain failed surgery, fusion and scs failed."


"I was prescribed Biaxin for bronchitis. I've taken three pills. I have an horrible taste in my mouth all the time along with severe dry mouth. My stomach is tossing and turning, making the loudest noises I've ever heard a stomach make! I haven't had problems with nausea/vomiting but the diarrhea from this is horrendous! On the second day of taking this I got this huge burst of energy and wanted to clean every inch of my house and rearrange each room! (sort of strange as I'm still coughing constantly and having a very hard time breathing) I'm also having trouble sleeping. I'm not sure that I will be taking anymore of these."


"I haven't been on the pills for a month yet, 3 weeks, and I'm going to try and stay on them for at least 2 months and if I don't see an improvement I'm probably going to change my prescription. I feel nauseous at least 30 minutes a day and now that I've gotten my period it's gotten 10x worse. Good helps for maybe 10 short minutes and I'm back to feeling gross and sick. I'm constantly tired yet it's so difficult for me to sleep. And my cramps have gotten worse, I didn't even think it was possible. My back and abdomin cramp at the same time (that's usual) and normally the only way to get rid of them is heat, so I take a bath and not even that is helping and of course the heat would make me more nauseous.

Has anyone had this problem?"


"I was experiencing early symptoms of a UTI. I felt like I had to go to the bathroom even after I had just been and it was very uncomfortable feeling, I wouldn't say it burned like UTI's usually do, it just felt like I had to go really bad. I got an at home UTI test strip and sure enough I had it. I got the URICALM at my local CVS store in hopes it would give me some kind of relief. I drank a 12oz of cranberry juice and three water bottles with 2 tablets (in 12 hours) and that night I felt 100% better! I was worried I would have to go to the doctor and get on antibiotics but with URICALM that wasn't the case! Very affordable. It comes in a 60 pack and it only took 2 to help me! I would recommend this especially if you are catching it early!"


"Cleared my acne up so fast. Its nice. Other than that everything is going good except I'm turning into a grumpy person"


"I take 25mg of nortriptyline at bedtime. I have taken it for 3 weeks. I toss and turn at night and sleep about 3 hours for 2 nights, then on the 3rd night, I am able to sleep 9 or so hours because of lack of sleep previously.  It has helped my neck pain considerably, but about 10 days ago, I began getting pain in both my knees and hips, which makes it even more difficult to sleep now.  At first, I believed it was because of the treadmill, but I stopped after 2 days using it to heal my knees and hips, but they are still hurting. Also, I am experiencing memory loss. I am 68 years old."


"I was started on low dose which wasn't effective at all for me so my doctor gave me middle dose and that's when I started having heart pains, palpitations. So I gave it 2 weeks but could not bear the side effects. I didn't really lose any weight but I wasn't on it for that long."


"I have been on prozac , Gabapentin and prozac for many years. I hve been on the same dose of tramadol for the last 6 years i take the  50 mg tablets . I take 2 pills 4 times a day. The thing about any medicine is how well  it works with our body chemistry. It lasts up to six hours. I'm not a Zombie, I can take great care of my toddlers and as we all know toddlers drive u up the wall. I can still feel some of the pain but it's not bad enough to keep me unhappy and unproductive.OH AND if u become addicted to something , next time blame yourself for taking it wrong  instead of blaming the meds!!! Lol"


"I got nexplanon implanted the beginning of 2014 . Had bruising and soreness for like a week or two but wasn't too bad . Havent had any periods since I got it which I love . Very good prevention against pregnancy though :) . But the past year I've had the most awful headaches . Not much weight gain though . I love it ! After my 3 years I'm so getting it again !!"


"I've used a limited dose every other day for 9 years with no outbreaks."


"I have been taking gabapentin for about 6 years now.

I have 2 collapsed discs in my sacroid spine which have been causing chronic pain for 9 years .

I take 500mg 3 times a day but can increase it when the pain becomes unbearable.

On the higher doses I do get drowsy, but in my normal dose it doesn't affect me. It just helps reduce the nerve pain.

The only side effect I get is a dry mouth.

At the moment I am suffering from shingles and it is a godsend.

I have had shingles previously and wasn't taking gabapentin at the time and the neuropathy pain was awful.

I also find it helps a bit with my fibromyalgia."


"I have had constant nausea for SEVEN years related to gastroparesis and Meniere's disease (an inner ear disorder causing severe vertigo and nausea). I was finally offered Zofran on my last emergency room trip (I told the doctor if they didn't do something I was going to go insane)... Zofran has been a lifesaver and I never go anywhere without it. And I mean that. It works like magic every time I need it. The longest it has ever taken to kick in is 45 minutes. I can't say enough good things about it. 100% thumbs up."


"I found that my plaques were softened by the scalp oil.  I found the scalp oil easy to was out in a single washing.  Those were positives.
I stopped using for the simple reason that I couldn't sleep.
I wear a night guard for my teeth grinding, and a c-pap for sleep apnea.
By the time I put the thing in my mouth for my teeth, oiled up my head, placed shower cap followed by c-pap I felt smothered and found it difficult to sleep.
The addition of oil and plastic hat (which is noisy) made my c-pap slip off and require attention frequently in the night.  Bedtime was a circus and scalp oil was a challenge I couldn't keep in my routine."


"I am 5'3" tall and weigh 94lbs. I was prescribed several different antidepressants over a span of ten years along with Klonopin 1mg tid and Remeron 45mgs at bedtime for anxiety. I finally decided to see a Psychiatrist and she put me on 2.5mg of Zyprexa at bedtime. Just one dose and I was a completely different person! I woke up rested, smiling, happy, energized and a sense of well being again! This drug was like night and day for me! I am now on day 5 and I just keep feeling better! I am doing things I never dreamed I would and was able to get the job I've always wanted! For me, Zyprexa has truly changed my life and I hope it helps others the way it has helped me! The only side effect I've had is increased appetite (which I needed). :)"


"I used Minocin for about 20 years (16 - 36 years approx) which controlled my acne perfectly. Before I started taking this I had very, very severe acne, huge boils and spots all over my back and face but this seems to cure it. I was very lucky - I had no side effects apart from bad stomach if I took too many."


"I find it very effective much better than synthetic drugs. Feel much better taking it."


"Contrave did make me nauseated. So what.  I would still be on it but had to have double cataract surgery. I think this is one of the less common side effects."


"My son is 7 years old and was dianosed with adhd. He is on Metadate CD and he has been taking it for almost a month now. It seems to be helping him at school, but at home his behavior is uncontrollable and very irritable. He is on only 10 mg and his appetite is slowed down alot."


"I started on Contrave this past Friday 3/17, I felt sleepy all day and slight headache, I had read someone else did same, but thereafter, she was ok while continuing Contrave, so I went on to day 2, but I was like a zombie, just wanted to sit and stare, dizzy, I haven't felt that bad in awhile. I decided I can't handle this ,so I stopped. I will say,  I wasn't the least bit hungry. I called my pharmacy today for refund, they referred me to Contrave Hotline, I paid 92.00 that could went on other bills, to be told I can't get refund. I am very disappointed in this program and wish I never tried it."


"Hadnt weighed in years, went for a vasectomy march 5th 2016 and weighed 347 lbs. i was shocked. Started a diet that day and on june 5th had lost 27lbs to that point. June 5th i started 37.5 mg phentermine. 1st week lost 12lbs doen to 309. Second week lost another 11. Down to 298, 3rd week introduced excersise and have lost 14 more. Down to 284. I go for my 2nd dr visit july 7th and that will be 1 month and 2days of the phentermine. Im gna do a 3 month cycle of it so if this progress continues i will make my 225 goal by september. I am 5'11" and am male 29 years old. Very happy with this pill. Only side effect for me is severe dry mouth i drink over 2gallons of water a day because of this."


"I received skyla 24hrs ago. I was super anxious about the pain because of how badly my experience was with the Copper IUD. I must tell you, DO NOT read dozens of reviews and allow them to implant fear into you. We are women, we are designed to withstand pain. You CAN do it! its literally 30 sec of OH CRAP, then done. Im not down playing anyone else's experience by any means. However, if you go in strong minded and you are sure its what you want, you will be fine. I do recommend taking Tylenol at least 20min before insertion( it will help). B.C pills were terrible on my mind and body, so I'm glad I chose to go back to the IUD. Remember, if you don't end up liking it, it can always be removed. You Got This!"


"I've been on Implanon since April 2013...for the entire first year I had absolutely no period which was great! About 2 months ago I got a very heavy period. I've been having light bleeding ever since and it's driving me nuts, but overall this is the best method of birth control for me. And I've tried everything! Side effects are different for everyone and it can always be taken out if it doesn't work for you. I'd say if you're forgetful or just prefer a form of birth control that requires no effort don't hesitate to give this a try I love it!"


"I have ibs w/ constipation. been taking the 145 mg for about 3-4 months. The first two weeks I was on linzess, it didn't help me at all. So my doctor told me to take double dose.(found out i had a blockage, which the double dose with miralax on top got rid of) I got diarrhea for about a week, then went to have 1 regular bowel movement almost every morning after the pill. I was feeling better than ever. It did give me headaches, and distension though for about a week. After about 2 weeks on double dose, I went back down to a single dose. Everything was still going smoothly. Until about 2 weeks ago I've been getting urgent diarrhea everyday for about 6 hours after taking the pill. And ocassionally getting stomach pain and nausea again (which is why I started)"


"I had headaches since around middle school several times a week.  Never had a doctor who thought much about them, so I just stayed quiet and lived with them.  No over-the-counter medication helped.  I woke up with them.  I developed high blood pressure and my doctor prescribed lisinopril 10 mg.  Soon I realized I was no longer having any headaches -- zero.  I'm so happy we stumbled upon this.  I have told my doctor how much it has helped my headaches so that she remembers it for the next patient who might have constant headaches with no relief."


"I'm nearing my 3rd weeks and I feel my cravings have increased. I take one in the AM and one in the PM. I am always hungry which wasn't the case before staring this medication. The first week I had a severe headache that awakened me at 4 AM for 5 days in a row. Week 2 I am very sleepy which actually helps because I'm in bed by 10:30 PM where as before I'd be up until after midnight.
I'll report back after week 3 to advise if there's been any improvements."


"My girlfriend just got done with her first week and she has had to take 2 days off of school so far because her cramps are so severe. Not to mention the highly abnormal bleeding leaves her woozy and without strength. I absolutely do not recommend at all! I implore you to look at other options and to tell your doctor no if he mentions this brand what so ever"


"I have only had the Implanon for 4 weeks and am going in today to have it removed. I chose this because its an "out of sight out of mind" easier birth control. But the side effects for me have been horrendous. I have had severe anxiety, mood swings, and depression. And instead of little issues rolling right off my shoulders it feels as though its the end of the world. I've never struggled with this before. I've also had literal thoughts of suicide and self harm. Also, caused my sex drive to become pretty much non-existent. Coming from a woman who has been with the same man for 12 years and could have sex 3x per day. I started having no sex drive and had very dry vagina."


"I was unable to take oral birth control because I would never stop bleeding on the pill. I had a child and had the Mirena placed shortly after his birth. There was no pain at all. I did bleed continuously for 6 months which I had expected due to my previous birth control experiences. I've had the Mirena for 3 years and haven't had a period since the first 6 months! I've had an overall excellent experience with Mirena."


"I recently switched from Junel Fe 1/20 to this birth control (free sample from Gyno) and I'm switching back to Junel Fe 1/20 ASAP. Lo Loestrin Fe has caused me to gain about 10-15 lbs and I've only been on it a month. I constantly feel bloated, hungry, and my breasts felt huge. I have also started losing my hair because of this birth control. It caused me to have horrible mood swings...it was like I was PMSing the entire month I was on it. Please stay clear of this birth control."


"This is my 3rd day out of 5 days on Zpak. The first 2 doses were hard with the stomach pain. But if you eat a pretty good meal like 20 min before you take it then it helps a lot. The stomach pain is only there when the pill dissolves. So eating with it helps it dissolve a lot easier. My coughing really hasn't gone down much. The urgent care I went to gave me a inhaler too so that has been helping with my coughing and chest cold pain. But I can only take every 4 hours. But I do feel better enough to work now."


"Aside from the hot flashes in the first month or two the medication has improved my fibromyalgia pain greatly. I have been a huge supporter of it and recommended it to everyone I know who had fibro.  In the past 2 weeks I have been feeling extremely bloated, too full to eat even on an empty stomach and having bouts of IBS worse than before the medication.  Today I am cutting my pill in half and hoping to see this recent side effect will go away.  I don't want to go back to the constant pain and weakness I had before but can't go on with feeling miserable either. I've been on it eight months."


"Before taking this medication, I went into a time in my life where I would wake up every morning feeling anxious. My heart pounded very hard, I felt nauseous and puking would make me feel better. I felt alone, and didn’t find care in my heart for other people like I had before. God has made me a loving and caring person. But my anxiety and/or depression, not 100 percent sure what it is, took over. I would look at people on the streets walking with smiles on their faces, and wonder… man… how can they be happy? Even when I see other people who look sad or down, it makes me feel worse. Like, the world is so messed up. I am unable to shine my light on others because of the anxiety I feel. I started taking escitalopram and my life has changed I can smile again"


"My experience with Nexplanon is only that of sharing the insertion of the implant. I didn't feel anything. The numbing shot felt just like any shot so pleasantly surprised. I did get a huge bruise and it's been 6 hrs since I got it and just now feeling a little soreness- nothing Advil won't help"


"This is a medicine my son is using/abusing. It is highly addictive.  I see no benefits for long term use. Even after 90 day rehab he went straight back to his doctor and lied about the nature of his treatment and got a new supply. He basically sleep walks through the day. Before this he never used anything stronger than asprin."


"I have had restless legs syndrome for about a year now. It drives me crazy. It is just in my left leg no where else. Dr gave me Requip and did nothing. I tried tramadol and although I still have a bit of tingling in my leg and foot, my leg seems more relaxed. I will say that the ONLY thing I have found to work right away and all day is Vicodin. My doctor told me that pain medicines are a treatment for restless legs syndrome. I'm hoping the tramadol is a winner so I can stop with the pain medicine."


"Abilify is working for me, I take it before I go to bed and  helps me fall a sleep and stay sleep. I also wake early and I'm very energetic. I'm thankful for this medicine!"


"I've been taking Vyvanse for about 2 years. It DOES help me concentrate in school, but the concentration comes at a cost. I feel zombie-fied and extremely anxious, even jittery at times but I don't feel hyper. Vyvanse also makes me feel really cold all the time."


"Better than Adderall for me. Adderall feels like a sledgehammer slamming my brain into focus and Concerta is like a master artist finessing my thoughts into focus as much as Adderall but so much more subtly. I will forget I am on Concerta (36 mg, may go up to 54mg), during the day. There is a noticeable tolerance that I have developed. 18mg used to pump me up, now I no longer feel 18. 36 is getting to that point with daily use. Only reason it doesn't get a 10. Take 6000mg of fish oil daily and increase your magnesium intake."


"This is my 3rd time to have a colonoscopy. I dint remember too much about the first one,  the 2nd one was horrible with having to drink Golytely and now Supreme. The flavor isn't too bad, almost like a medicinal sweetart. I drank all of the first one without too much of a problem,  although I did have projectile vomiting after I drank it all. Although it cleared me out pretty much with the first one. When I had to drink the 2nd one that was a different story. I was gagging and having a harder time getting it down,  but it didn't take as long for things to start moving again. I wish I had known about the stuff to add to it before,  but this worked."


"its fine if you want to go insane.  I  recommend to use nicotine gum"


"Viagra has been an absolute miracle for me. For a while before I started taking it I was having trouble getting and maintaining strong erections. The best I could manage was a "semi" where my penis would get to around 60% hardness. Erectile dysfunction is difficult to deal with for men of any age, especially so when you are in your 20s (I'm 24) and are supposed to be at your peak sexually. I'm using the 25mg Pfizer tablets and they work amazingly well. No side effects. I now have very strong and rock hard erections. I'm a much happier and relaxed man now. It is quite expensive but they are worth every penny."


"It's been 4 months since I had it put in and maybe I should of read these reviews before having it done. The bleeding is was is driving me insane!! I got it my 6 week check up and had no issues until 2 weeks after it was put in I spotted for a week then started a full blown period that lasted 10 days. Then nothing! Then I started spotting very mild August 2nd, it is now August 19th and the bleeding is becoming heavier. It is more of an annoyance then anything else. And highly considering having it removed. I did gain about 12 pounds but that went went away. My Sex drive didn't change at all but this spotting makes things a little more difficult. I was looking forward to not having a period but what I'm dealing with is making me bitchy!!"


"My 5 year old was put on Kerydin due to 2 toenails having fungus. The fungus had been growing for the past year so it had gotten bad. After 6 months of zero improvement I asked her dermatologist for a different medication and he put her on Fluconazole for 30 days. Within 2 weeks we started seeing new toenail growth that was fungus free and her old toenail fell off. Within 30 days both toenails were finally fungus free! I would not recommend Kerydin."


"I have taken Lexapro 20 mg for many years for depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Only side effects (male) are unable to achieve orgasm, which can be frustrating if you let it. But, I tried Viibryd which was to "improve" Lexapro (no sexual side effects and no weight gain - which I never had weight gain anyway). Viibryd was awful. Did not help depression OR anxiety, and I was ravenously hungry. I insisted on going back on Lexapro. It is tried and true for me. Stick with it; it takes 6-8 weeks to be fully effective. "


"Best weight loss ever and the easiest! Went from 192 to 138 in 4 months! I gained most if it back since they took it off the market 3 years ago!  Can't find anything nearly as good yet!"


"Awesome care for my child"


"I've had the Implant since April of 2013 and it's  been terrible. I've had 3   week long periods with maybe a 4-5 day break. Which had decreased my libido almost to nothing. I've talked to my doctor numerous times about it and apparently it's "normal" side effects. Upon choosing the implanon, I was told that my periods would most likely stop... what a bunch of lies. I can't wait to get this thing out of my body!"


"Before I got the nexplanon, I was in the hospital for anemia due to vaginal blood loss. I was on the pill and kept forgetting to take it, and had an unwanted pregnant, which resulted in an abortion, which caused the anemia. I regret it every day. At first the nexplanon was excellent, it finally helped the blood loss. I haven't really bled too much, I usually only bleed 1-3 days. But the negative is, I gained 20+ pounds, I get sharp pains in my abdomen, I also get pains where it was implanted, I have no sex drive anymore, headaches and feeling nauseous. As well as mood swings. I've been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years and lack of sex drive and mood swings are hurting our relationship. Debating on getting it removed or not."


"I'm sad that I'm switching to another pill as I have been on Ortho tricyclen for so many years. No mood swings, no PMS, no depression, I feel the same every day. My complexion has never been so clear.  Very light periods, no cramping."


"This pill was wonderful at first. Did not experience weight gain, headaches, nausea, etc. I went through my teens without getting one pimple and never struggled with acne UNTIL taking junel. DO NOT TAKE THIS! My chin was covered with painful, cystic acne. Even now that I'm off this pill my face has never fully cleared up."


"I have BCC on my upper arm and SCC on upper left hand. Unfortunately after 6wks of treatment twice a day the cream didnt work. So disappointed and im now scheduled to have both surgically removed."


"I started taking Fastin a few days ago after I read so many good reviews...I must say that I did take the advice of so many others and started with half of the pill. It seemed to put me in the best mood and my energy level went through the roof. Not to mention..I wasn't hungry at all. Yes it did make me feel a bit jittery so I drank a lot of water and had to pee quite often. Don't drink anything with caffiene in it while taking this because it makes you even more jittery, plus if you work in the heat be careful because I felt like I was having hot flashes but wow...it is definitely worth it. Lost a couple of lbs already. Well worth it for me."


"I absolutely have nothing bad to say about this medicine. My breasts have gotten a little bigger, no change in my appetite that I can tell, and it has even cleared my face up. It keeps my acne under control so I love it. I never did have cramps so no change there. The only thing is that my breasts are more tender."


"Update! Culture came back and negative again so I am being treated correctly. This is my 5th day on the gel and so far so good. No side effects - I haven't experienced any of the "cottage cheese" like discharge that others have talked about which I'm thankful for cause it doesn't sound pleasant. However you will get a yeast infection on this medicine! But it works, don't be scared!"


"This is a great birth control, for most people. I very rarely get my period, and if I do, it's like about every 2 months, and its only spotting. You don't have to worry about waking up everyday and remembering to take a pill. I love this shot, and I recommended it to a friend. She didn't have the same experience as I did. I love this product. So all I'm saying is, everyone is different. "


"I've had headaches for as long as I ca remember....I've taken excedrin, imitrex, tramadol.....nothing worked til my Ob gave me fioricet and it was a god send.....I've been on it for 40 yrs with no side effects....now the doctors are so worried about the barbiturate...heavens it's Not an opiod...

Utah unfortunately is very strict with this drug....for reasons  I will not say...it's a miracle drug for me...."


"I used this because I had horrible morning sickness to the point where I was losing weight.  This made me feel like my old self again and I was able to enjoy my pregnancy."


"Been on it since February 2014, at first when I got it, I had my period for 3weeks none stop then my GP gave me some medication to stop the bleeding,  since then my period never came back which is good.  But I moved to a new country and I think of climate change, I had my period for two weeks but they eventually stopped.  Down side is my sex drive is out of the window, I am not as 'wet' as I used to be, making sex uncomfortable. After sex I get some spotting each time. I haven't noticed any weight gain as I was already overweight when I got it. No acne or moods,  but still crave my chocolate"


"Though Mirena has worked wonderfully for some, I am NOT one of those. Unfortunately I have suffered, horrible headaches, SEVERE bloating, flatulence and weight gain and skin rash. I also just recently started to get acne. The only positive experience I have had, is that I have VERY light bleeding occasionally (suffer from endometriosis) so that has been a nice change. "


"So I bought the Monistat 7 because I suspected I have a yeast infection and just took the first dose last night, with the applicator and the cream. I went straight to bed but woke up at 4 am with the worst burning/itching sensation. It definitely feels worse than before. I was kind of scared at what was wrong, and my husband snoring right next to me made me feel even more frustrated/anxious. But thank you ladies, I'm so glad I found all these reviews, they actually got laughs out of me despite the crappy situation...!

I'm clinging onto the hope that Day 2 will be slightly better. Considering going to the OBGYN today anyway to avoid another night like this..."


"I've been on the pill for 3 months now, I have experienced extreme nausea, bloating, mood swings, and even crazy cravings! I thought I was pregnant! But after reading these reviews I feel better about the pill, not only that but everything's straightening out so I'm happy. I am also getting curves, which I like very much! Its a great pill."


"I was having migraine headaches twice per week then gradually it became every day for 3 months. Midrin was no longer working. I was incapacitated. Yesterday, I was prescribed gabapentin 300mg twice per day. First day it took 1 1/2 hours to kick in then I fell asleep. When I woke 6 hours later I felt drunk and my coordination and walking ability were impaired as if drunk. I worried about falling. Yet for the first time in 3 months, my migraine was present but at a level "4" verses a pain level of constant "10".  An unexpected additional gain was that it helped my unresolved back pain of the neuropathic (burning) variety. I highly rate it except for side effects of in-coordination, slightly blurred vision and word finding problems."


"I just started the medication this week. I've had three shots so far.  I was really worried about the needles but you honestly don't feel a thing.  I didn't even feel a pinch when I did the injection.   I do feel a bit tired. I have a very dull headache.     I do have a little bit of  nausea.   I have been injecting in my upper thigh where there's plenty of fat. (Lol).   My appetite  has decreased so I have to keep an eye on my emotional eating.  I am a former gastric bypass patient  trying to lose the last 30 pounds. The first hundred was easy. So far so good."


"5 or10mg  works for muscle spasms but Dangerous if taken during daytime.

Caused uncontrolled drowsiness,  deep sleep, difficulty waking up, constipation, blurred vision and sudden unbearable  headaches leaving me unable to function. (5 or 10 MG doses were same effects)

Lost a new job just 2 months after  starting due to not realizing it was this medication's side effects of: blurred vision,  migraines & exhaustion.  I was unable to keep up with workload and didn't relate it to Flexeril because I had been on it many years ago when I was much younger.  I tried to explain to my PCP  but some docs just don't listen.  I have since stopped flexeril, no more headaches!"


"Very effective in stimulating a BM. However, this medicine can cause bad stomach cramps, bloating and nausea. I'm used to this as I have had constipation my whole life so take laxatives a lot. However, I would only take this if more natural methods of relieving constipation aren't working. Definitely do not take this medicine if you are out or working the next day! you won't feel well."

"This is 2nd year on Lutera. I was on Aviane before but it was no longer carried in my pharmacy. They are essentially the same thing and I experienced no side effects or changes when I switched. For the first two months of Aviane I was emotional. But afterwards I was completely fine. I had no physical or emotional changes. And have had no side effects or changes after changing to Lutera."


"I was given Demerol and Vistaril after a tubal ligation, my pain was under control while using these medicines. I only was given these medicines once, but as I remember they did what I was told they would, which was grant me pain relieve for the short term."


"Takes away the pain now and back 10 yrs ago."


"I have taken 1 .75mg shot of Trulicity and I'm going to beg my Dr. to take me off of it.  I was nauseous from day 2 onward and today (7 days later) I'm vomiting, have explosive diarrhea, and horrible foul belching.  This is the same exact reaction, down to the belching, that I had while taking Metformin.  If you are taking Trulicity AND Metformin, I'm not sure how you are even alive.

My A1C, tested 2x in the last 6 months, is 6.5 and that was while taking Januvia, Pioglitazone and Farxiga.  My Dr. replaced the Januvia with Trulicity to help improve my daily high readings.  Today is shot day...not happening.  As I type I'm about to puke..."


"I had the worst side effects with Protonix. I took it for 15 days and experienced increased anxiety and heart palpitations. I also had dizziness, nausea and insomnia. Going off of it took 6 days to feel somewhat normal."


"Best medicine for RLS EVER!!"


"I have been on Plaquenil for two months to treat newly diagnosed RA.  The duration and intensity of the flares have been reduced, but I am still suffering with aches and swelling in my small joints and elbows.  I have had mild nausea and am having my eyes monitored by my optometrist."


"During the time that I was on it, I never experienced any benefits and it just wasn't that effective for me. I was switched from this to some simple melatonin vitamins, which was way more effective."


"I suffer from anxiety, OCD, bipolar, and depression. This medication has made me sluggish and slow because of that I have gained weight which has just added to the stress and anxiety. It has done nothing for me. My anxiety is still intruding on my life. My OCD is not being helped because my anxiety is not being dealt with."


"I've had acne since I was 11. Nothing my doctor prescribed had any effect on my skin so I started my course of isotretinoin when I was 17. In short, it gets worse before it gets better. My skin only started improving in the last month of my course. I still have acne but it's not nearly as bad (and with my newly vamped up skincare routine it's getting better daily).
As with most acne treatments, it was pretty drying (you'll need a good moisturizer and lip balm) but it's nothing permanent. I didn't find the pregnancy/blood tests a hassle either, at this point I was willing to do anything to sort out my skin. I think it was totally worth it! If, like me, you've had acne for years and years, it's definitely worth a try!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This was my 5th colonoscopy and 5th different prep. I was happy it was only 16 oz. twice. However, 15 minutes after the 5:00 dose I was physically ill which never happened with the other preps I have used. By 7:30 I vomited after willing it to stay down that long. When the 9:00 dose came along I tried to sip it between 9:00 and 10:00 pm. I got 8 oz. down and literally projectile vomited at 10:00. Nothing else was going down. Like many others I had a headache, bloating, and cramps. Bottom line I was sick from the prep. The nurse the next day said she has heard this from many people and I was possibly allergic to it. I would not recommend this to a first timer. Nor will I ever use it again. I would rather drink the gallon prep."


"I've been on Zoloft (generic) for about three months.  I noticed an immediate difference in the way I felt. I began taking it for mild anxiety/depression.  I am now starting to feel more depressed and empty again, like my body is becoming immune to it.  I don't want to switch because I don't want to go through another medication.  Zoloft though in general has helped incredibly within the last three months -- my boyfriend and I don't fight, I don't get snappy on people, and I feel so much better about going out and doing things. I am more productive now than I ever was. I just don't want my body to become used to it because I love the way it felt to feel okay."


"This pill works for me but I'm sure everyone is different. You just have to go get blood work every 3 months while on it. I been taking it for 5 years and I'm doing great, just make sure you eat a small meal before you take Azasan it can make you sick for a hour if you dont. I do recommend this pill if you have Crohn's. Ask your Doctor about it and see if it is right for you."


"I was on Lent's and Novalog for 10 years then my Dr switch me to Ivokana, Levimer and Victory.  The Ivokana made me throw my guts up, lose my vision on and off, blood sugar levels spiked to 400 or more, always dehydrated and several other symptoms.  I stop taking it.  The Levimer makes me have several bowel movements daily and I lost 15 lbs but I didn't want to lose weight I only weigh 140. I have lost all my muscle and still craving sugar.  I quit taking the Victoza  because I was sugar spikes were over 300.  These medications killing me. They all have me craving sugar, diarrhea and even have me depressed.  I only take Metformin pills 4 500 milligrams a day. "


"My experience with the implant is actually not that bad. I've had it since March of 2011, a little over a year now. At first I had my period for about 3 or 4 days and than it stopped for almost 7 months, than I got it for about a week, and than started getting it about every other month or so. But recently I had my period for about 4 days, it stopped for a couple days, and now I'm spotting. But, other than that I have had no problems at all. I love my birth control. Much better than pills, shots, or patches in my opinion."


"I have been using this product for over 2 months.  At first, my breakouts were still occurring and my skin was really dry.  It did not burn my skin like other prescription creams have so I was able to continue using it.  My skin is still dry, but it's really clear. I also don't mind having dry skin-- I've been on Accutane so many times that I'm just accustomed to it.  I do have a few pimples here and there, but it's nothing to stress about.  This cream really works when you stick to a strict routine."


"I wasn't sure if this drug was helping with OCD.  When asked I would reply, "it seems to make it easier to deal with it".  Then my Doc decided to lower my dose in order to take me off it.  When I got to 60mg I lost it.  The obsessive thoughts were out of control.  Compulsions increased as well.  I am back on 100mg and feeling and thinking much better.  The med helps a lot, but doesn't fix me completely.  I challenge my compulsions every day so I can reinforce that I do not need them."


"I have had Nexplanon in for almost three years, and will be getting it taken out in Nov. I decided to get this after my son was born. I have never used any type of birth control (except for a condom). It has been a wonder! I have not had a period while on this. Which is awesome for me since I had very bad cramps during that time. The only downside to Nexplanon for me is the fact that I would get headaches lasting for two days. Other than that I would get it put in again."


"I was not happy about this drug at all. It made me feel SO lazy and tired. Zero effect on my mood; in fact, I was in a worse mood since I had zero energy."


"Lifelong rhinitis, worse with age (now 71).  Tried Flonase, did nothing and unpleasant to use.  Bought Nasacort generic  would last 2 months @ 1shot/nostril/day.  Immediate improvement, no flavor or sting.  Already familiar with triamcinolone (active) as a topical (skin).  Only downrated to 9 because 1) it's a drug and fewer is better, 2) it doesn't 'blast' nose wide open like Afrin (which causes its own problems), 3) from other reviews we see that results/reactions vary widely.  On the plus side: If it works for you, fewest potential side effects; no alcohol or scent; generic/storebrand available-- reasonable cost; OTC designation, 'generally safe and effective for self-administrataion.  Lookup and observe contraindications"


"I am a senior and was given amitriptyline for sleep.  I found that 10mg was too strong and made me very groggy in the AM.  Cutting the 10mg in half has worked very well for me.  I only take it if I have had poor sleep 2 nights in a row,.  It knocks me out for 7-8 hours."


"I had slipped into a depression following some traumatic life events. The mornings were worse and often unbearable. I became suicidal. I was also agitated.
I was desperate and went to GP and prescribed fluoxetine 20mg. I have been taking them for six weeks and feel so much better. Mood has lifted and morning depression has stopped. Its saved my life. Side effects were a sore throat and cold symptoms which lasted four days. Yawning as well.
Best thing I ever did was admit I had a problem and take medicines."


"Everyone has different experiences with Liletta. I got the Liletta replaced after Skyla had fallen out. Insertion for both were the same. Just a pinch and it was over. Not bad at all. For the Liletta, the strings were cut too short. I had a few days of spotting after insertion, but then I was back to normal. The pro is that Liletta was very effective in avoiding pregnancy and it got rid of my period. The con is that I experienced frequent painful headaches, cramping before my periods (which is new to me), painful sex from sharp ovary pain and dryness, low libido, acne, weight gain, and serious bloating. For removal, I had to get my cervix dilated because the strings curled up inside. Two months have passed and now I'm 15lbs down & symptoms have faded"


"Estring makes a huge difference in my life. It restored my ability to have normal sex (win!), with no pain and with normal lubrication.  I've used it for 2+ years. The first few months my weight went up 10+ lbs and I've been unable to lose weight.  It is worth getting used to a new normal weight for me to feel  normal again.

I have a false advertising complaint against Estring. Their Coupon says in large letters, "Pay no more than $15 for your ESTRING prescription."  The very fine print says. "savings are limited to $100 for each of 4 uses," meaning you only save $100 for each Rx, but this Rx is VERY expensive, so no one pays $15, but usually much more. Still some savings are better than none."


"It was originally $30 a month, but with new healthcare laws it's free. When I was put on this, I was scared to tell the doctor that I had severe depression. After being on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, my depression went away! I only seem to get it every once in a while. After being on it a while, I noticed that I got increasingly violent. I would get angry over the tiniest things. My periods are a lot lighter and not as painful. Despite the unexplainable rage, I'd say this changed my life! I can always expect my period on the same day."


"I've been taking Lunesta for almost a year and it has worked wonders for me. I make sure I take it on an empty stomach and I make sure I have at least 7 hours of sleep. I do get that weird taste in my mouth but I don't mind, it's really not that bad. I have a toddler and I am able to wake up in the middle of the night without a problem. If I do need to wake up in the middle of the night I am alert and then I am able to fall right back to sleep. Overall I've had a great experience."


"I had this drug for a toothache and I had an A level exam (in England) the day after I was presribed the drug. I felt sick the whole day and during my exam with stabbing pains in my stomach and had to leave my exam at one point because I felt like I was you to throw up. I managed to finish the exam but when I got home I threw up several times and continued throwing up the next couple days after I stopped taking the drug"


"I have been talking this medication for 8 weeks now and following a low carb diet and am happy to say I have lost 25.6 lbs. I have not started exercising yet, but intend to, so the weight loss is all diet. This medicine is excellent and gives you the ability to turn down food you know is not helpful to your goals. It has also wiped out all my cravings. My blood pressure is 118/74 and I have have experienced no side effects."


"I'm 20 years old and have been using Doryx for a month and it has made my acne worse. I don't feel like it is going to help to continue the use for another month."


"I do not like this pill at all. I always have headaches. I'm moody and depressed. I'm on Zoloft for that and its not working since I've been on this birth control pill my vagina always hurts especially during and after sex and I suffer from dryness. I'm 15 I shouldn't have that problem."


"Received a 3 month injection 8/20 for heavy bleeding due to fibroids.  Did not stop bleeding/spotting until middle of October.  Now I need another dose and the price jumped from $10 (promo fee) to $1,100- $3,000.  Needless to say I cannot afford the next round.  Also had a headache for full 3 months.  However, my doctor said it did shrink my fibroid enough to get the ablation I need."


"Terrible product, I had the 3 day treatment and like almost everyone here, it brought pain unlike anything else. I washed all the cream out the best I could and filled my bathtub with cool water and baking soda to get some relief. Make sure you don't react negatively to the baking soda if you've never used it, though it's pretty much safe."


"I'm on my last week of accutane and have been taking it for 5 months. All of my acne has cleared up except for one or two pimples but I still have acne scars left. My only side effect symptoms at first included dry lips, dry eyes, back pain, and blurry vision, but now I'm experiencing mood swings and depression. It is not severe but I have noticed that I've been acting different for no real reason. I honestly can't wait to get off the drug just to return to my normal self and feel like I have more control over my emotions. Overall, I think the side effects are worth it for the results that I've gotten from accutane, but I am worried that after I'm done taking it that my acne will return."


"My neurosurgeon prescribed Lyrica after a lumbar fusion at L5-S1 to control pain. It worked great and allowed me to sleep when no other medication helped. I started at a higher dose and then as I felt better and better I only took it at night.  After about 4 months, I was ready to go back to work.  I found myself unmotivated and disinterested.  When I spoke to my GP about this, he made the connection between Lyrica and my general malaise, noting that it is also used for anxiety, which I did not have. After that, we worked to wean the dosage down and I stopped taking it after a few weeks.

My side effects included long time to wake up, general uncoordination upon waking, and some bouts of blurred vision.  I did not experience weight gain."


"Received 3 shots in April.  Very little relief.  Now it's Aug -and I've been in agony since July, so didn't work for me.  I'm amazed at the comments about playing tennis, hiking, etc. It's all I can do to walk 3 steps."


"If you suffer from depression this might be a medicine to take. It very helpful in controlling your symptoms. I've had depression symptoms for a while but never did a thing about it. I finally did through my primary doctor refer pain management & they refer me 2 see a psychologist."


"I'm 35 and have had a problem with sweating since high school.  Shortly after high school I started taking birth control pills, and the problem stopped.  I stopped taking the pill last year and within a few months I noticed my sweating was starting again.  I don't know if it was because of the birth control pills or not.  I was embarrassed to bring it up to my doctor, but I finally did.  I couldn't lift up my arms at all at work because of the sweat marks. You take Hypercare for a few days at first and I was so excited that I stopped sweating.  I could finally wear thin colored shirts and not have sweat marks anymore. The only side effect I've had is the itching, intense at times at night when I have it on. Once or twice I've had to wash it off. But 100% worth it."


"It didn't work, I was up to 40mg daily and felt literally nothing. Ever since I had my son I have had panic attacks and bad anxiety so I went to the doctor and was prescribed Prozac. I was so disappointed. I almost feel more depressed now."


"I had pelvic surgery from the best uro/ gyn surgeon in the Houston area. He royally meshed up my surgery leaving me with pelvic anuryzm. My pain is at 10+/24-7 without meds. I have not found any meds that would bring the pain below a 7 before I found Subsys. My only issue with Subsys is it only last 3hrs......never more. My Dr. Has me on 800mcg.  He is very careful and will not increase it.  Subsys is great....it's just not a free for all."


"I took this medication when I was 16 for acne. I was getting headaches that the dermatologist said couldn't possibly be from the minocycline. I woke up after being on it for 6 weeks with double vision. I had pseudotumour cerebri (intercracial hypertension). I have suffered with recurrent headaches ever since. I am now 43. Last year I was diagnosed with a chiari malformation last year that was caused by pseudotumour cerebri. I also have syringomyelia that was caused by the chiari malformation. This is a very dangerous medication. I will eventually be in a wheelchair and will not be able to care for myself because I took minocycline at age 16."


"I'm only three months into this pill, but so far it has been nothing but good for me. I do get headaches, but they do not interfere with my daily activites so I don't mind. I've also had some breakouts but normally near my period, which is usual for me even off the pill. No weight gain yet, normal moods, I haven't missed a pill yet. My first period was really browny and black in the beginning and a light orange at the end. I'm not sure if that is normal, but who knows. Also, some vaginal discharge but not enough to bug me. Overall, its working great!"


"I have been taking Zoloft 100mg for over a month now for my anxiety disorders and panic attacks that have gotten in the way of my peace  and my family welfare.  The results have been positive, I feel less stressful, less jittery and do not snap at my family for anything.  Also, it makes me feel more positive towards life and people.  At first it gave me mild diarrhea for two days, and yes, my sexual appetite has dwindle a bit.  I fully recommend it, it is worth trying some medication rather than living with emotional distress a whole life."


"I was diagnosed in April 2013 after getting really sick with fungal meningitis. My CD4 was 41 and the viral load was 260.000. After one month, the CD4 went to 71 (which wasn't supposed to increase as much), and the viral load was undetectable. Many people recommend to take the pill with an empty stomach, but I haven't done this, and it hasn't been a problem. I never had crazy dreams, though the first weeks were kind of hard because I used to get nauseous. Now it's all good. This pill rocks!"


"I was diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia back in the 70's but it was "paroxysmal" meaning unpredictable.  I was also diagnosed with anxiety attacks.  The Inderal was critical to my improvement and as life went on, I found that I was low in calcium, magnesium and potassium.  Supplementing those things basically expunged the tachycardia.  If I feel it coming on, I increase those things and use the Inderal and it goes away.  It also helped with the anxiety attacks.  So everyone is different...and diet, supplements are also critical to good health."


"I've been on Seasonique for 3 weeks now. I switched because the 4 period a year thing got me interested. I've notice weight gain (I've been eating the same), more acne (I drink lots of water) and I've been way more emotional since I have been in a long time. I'll be calling this week to switch back to my old pill!"


"Been in pain for three years with headaches and trigeminal neuraligia, and taking Tegretol with not much relief. Just switched to Oxcarbazepine, and it is like I am a new person. No pain. I'm thrilled. Hoping the relief lasts, unlike my experience with Tegretol where it worked in the beginning and then it had no effect at all. Thankful to my new doc for prescribing this for me!!!!!"


"ive been on invega for four months and the delusions are gone and i dont think people are out to get me anymore all is good but i cant think straight when people try to have a conversation with me im really quite and cant think of what to say or what to talk about its so depressing im on 150mg of invega and 2mg of abilify  will these side effects get better or will i be like this for a few years i dont know i just wish i was back to my old self"


"First year on 5mg at night helped my mood, anger outbursts and anxiety a great deal. Did develop high cholesterol and gained 15 pounds, but the trade off was worth it. Also helps wonderfully with insomnia.

After the year mark it was no longer handling my anger well. Started having 2-3 inappropriate outbursts a week. Pdoc started me on geodon but couldn't handle the side effects, so back to the zyprexa I went with another 2.5mg added in the morning and gained another 6 pounds.

Have tried other AAPs but can't handle the side effects so I'm still on the zyprexa for now until I get brave enough to try something else again.

Taking with Pristiq, Trileptal, Vistiril and Xanax."


"This is horrible! It only intensified the yeast infection! Immediate burnings and itching."


"I was on Infliximab infusions for 4 years, and have only stopped them as of last week. I was diagnosed when I was 14 with severe ulcerative colitis which seemed to only respond to infliximab. For 4 years it was extremely effective in keeping my UC at bay, however the effects of the immunosuppressive were quite severe. This year I have gotten what feels like every infection under the sun. For 2 years I was begging my doctors to take me off the infliximab because I was constantly battling some pathogen and on ridiculous amounts of antibiotics. The constant infection was far worse to deal with than my UC. Thankfully I've been taken off it as in the past 4 months I've been hospitalised twice with menengitis as severe pharyngitis"


"I have lots of friends who love Nexplanon and have done very well with it. Unfortunately I cannot relate. I got it put in 2 months ago and have thrown up mutiple times a day, every single day since it was put in. After the first month I finally figured out the system.. I get sick anytime my stomach is empty. So even if I'm not hungry yet but I haven't eaten anything in a couple hours, I'll throw up. And there's no nausea or really any warning.. I'll gag out of nowhere and I have about 30 seconds to get to a toilet because it comes right after the first gag. In order to prevent myself from puking all the time I've had to implement a strict eating schedule. I have to snack every 2 hours. Not surprisingly, I've gained weight because  of this."


"I'm going on my second week now. I had some burping and an over full bloated feeling that seems to have subsided. I also had a lil nausea at times but not bad. I had to force myself to eat the first week as well. Nothing sounded good. This coming Tuesday I go up to 1.8 dose. I though I was just imagining not being hungry because I like to eat but the fullness and over all lack of interest in food is awesome. Haven't weighed myself yet because I don't want to be discouraged, it's only been 2 weeks. Going to stick it out here's a tip, I bought Gas ex for the belching and tummy gas it helped a lot. Also don't eat late at night because what u eat is really slow to digest and it will keep u up at night. I do my shot at around 2 pm daily."


"I've been on Yaz, BeYaz, and Gianvi, all of which did wonders for my skin. Recently I was given Loryna by my pharmacy. Not thinking anything of it, I started my pack as usual. Not only did this pill immediately give me daily cystic breakouts along my jaw/cheeks/chin, but it also introduced me to the nightmare that is back acne. Having never suffered from breakouts on my back, this caused a whole new form of embarrassment, and just in time for summer! I suffered through the pack then asked to go back to Gianvi. 2 weeks later my skin and back are clearing up beautifully. I've read multiple reviews of people having the same problem; if you notice your acne getting worse on Loryna, don't wait it out--switch back to Gianvi or name brand Yaz!"


"I have to say.. After reading reviews I was a little terrified to get Mirena inserted. However, my ob is really good and it wasn't a big deal at all! It was uncomfortable like a pap but it was done within a few mins.  I gave birth 8 weeks ago and he said this was a good time to get it inserted because my cervix is still soft. So maybe that's why it was no big deal for me? So far, no cramping, slight spotting. I'm not sure about the long term effects of the mirena because I've only had it in a week. So far, so good!"


"I had a heart attack and stent and have a problems with taking statins.  I have taken 4 injections so far.  I have stomach cramps , and double over with pain, leg cramps unreal.  I can tolerate Crestor 3 days a week.  Had check up with my heart Dr and he said go off the Repatha it will lower your numbers but, as it states and so did my heart Dr that there is NO proof it will help your heart.  I thought this strange but, as he said it also says that on the pamphlet that comes with it.  I am quitting taking it stomach aches and bowel problems are miserable."


"Was taking two 37 mg per day but made me nauseous so kept missing the second dose & wasn't working .  Now taking 75mg slow release per day. Was completely spaced out for a few days..zoning out!  but after 10 days I feel great. Loads of energy. Depression easing off. Impressed but hope it lasts . Side effects were dry mouth but this has now gone. Sex drive has also plummeted but I do have a baby so could be down to that. In any case I'd rather have my old self back than a sex drive so not too bothered.  Have tried prozac and citaloplam in the past until they stopped working. I'd say this is just as good if not better. Fingers crossed x"


"Caused dizziness and nausea."


"I'm on week 5 and it has certainly changed my life
I was having constant flare ups in my hands. And my joint pain was so severe it was depressing I'm 43 yrs old and felt like I had a body of an 80 yr old  I am doing so much better
I've been on Celebrex  twice a day for 4 yrs  and constant cortisone meds  but this plaquenil has helped me so much
My only down fall I've noticed is that I'm tired after I take it  other than that my pain has gone from constant to bearly any
I get the odd day but usually triggered by cold weather and due to my osteo arthritis"


"Good."


"Had protected sex but the condom broke. Within an 1 hr or 2 went to Walgreens got Next choice, took the pill felt sleepy about 30mins after taking it. Couple of headaches after but no major side effects, had one day of spotting but nothing else. Starting getting worried maybe it didn't work. On 5 January finally got my period. Next choice works, just say calm and let the rest fall in place."


"Keep me calm and stress free. I don't fly off the handle over little things. This narcotic really does the trick. Only if you follow the prescribed INSTRUCTIONS. do not abuse."


"I was taking 50mg Lyrica every 2 hrs or sooner each day; while it did seem like I had more energy and could work a little longer before resting, the pain never stopped or lightened up. Lyrica   amitriptyline did help me sleep better. I quit taking Lyrica and started taking gabapentin 300mg 3Xper day and the pain lessened a lot, and sleep is better and some of the brain fog is gone. "


"Had a nasty sinus infection - my entire head seemed locked in a vacuum-grip of pressure, snot, and general awfulness. I felt dizzy, exhausted, irritated, and I think it even began to affect my thinking. I thought it was just a common cold but nope, the real deal. Augmentin 875, 2x/day for 10 days seems to have cleared it out, mostly. BUT HERE'S THE KEY, FOLKS --> Take a good probiotic every morning, about 3 or 4 hours before you take the first dose of Augmentin. Then, when it's time to take your Augmentin, take it with a LOT of food, and take it after the first or second bite of your meal. You'll get through it, and may it heal you as it seems to have healed me. No side effects for me, and I'm one sensitive, hypochondriacal mess normally!"


"I started taking this medication on Feb 10, 2010.  From the first day I took it I have had the same overall feelings, cotton mouth-which is overcome by drinking a lot of water, an energy boost, and no appetite.  I have to 'remind' myself to eat.  I try to keep a log of everything I eat, so that way I can see if I am eating enough or not.  So far, I have lost about 5-7lbs.  I have not went to the gym yet, but am getting a membership this Saturday.  This medication was just the boost I needed to get started losing weight.  I would recommend this diet pill to anyone who needs to lose a significant amount of weight.  I cannot wait to see how much additional weight I will lose by adding exercise to my diet routine."


"I just started this drug 8/21/17, .06 mg.  I weighed this morning and was surprised to see I was already down 2.2 lbs.  I know this won't be typical, but was concerned when I didn't feel any of the side effects, thinking maybe it wasn't going to work for me.  Not much appetite, but forcing myself to eat something."


"Totally worked for me"


"I took a Plan B three days after my boyfriend came in me THREE times coming to find out on my MOST fertile day, a day after my ovulation day! I was scared it wasn't going to work, because i took it on the third day, my MOST fertile day, & after he came in me.. Three times! I had a lot of side effects and was 8 days late on my period! I just knew I was pregnant, the day I did start I did nothing but fit the criteria of implantation blood. Needless to say I started my period, I'm fine and NOT PREGNANT! It's works ladies!"


"This has worked great for me.  I've been on it for 5 months and my A1C is 6.1 (down from 7.2).  It is expensive, but if you go to their website, you can sign up for a card that will pay your copay for 1 year (up to $3900).  Basically, I get the medication for free for a year."


"So far so good. 25 y/o

Previously tried Microgestin Fe 1.5 /30 earlier this year and did not enjoy effects of that.

It has only been one week. I will update upon further time and if any side effects appear.
I started one week after my miscarriage. I was 7 weeks. I do not want kids at this time but the emotional toll is still high.
It has slowed down and almost stopped my bleeding which is great.

SO FAR SO GOOD.
I'll update at the 30 day time frame."


"Treximet works great! I know others say it does not work after the migraine starts, but for me it does. I have chronic migraines and have to take a anti-depressant drug to control it daily. However, if I do get a migraine Treximet knocks it completely out in about 20 to 30 mins. I love this product but like most people I find it very expensive but worth it. I may try taking half a pill to see if I can make it go further."


"I've been on Estrace for just over 2 years to treat Primary Ovarian Failure. I have grown about 3 inches taller, my breasts have not increased in size, they are just constantly sore. I have been getting a lot of discharge, which is not overly pleasant. I get dizzy spells sometimes. I have gained about 15 pounds in 2 years again not the greatest, but my growth could have something to do with it. Acne, comes and goes sometimes it is horrible, other times my skin is great! My feet have also grown 1.5 sizes. I am very moody. That comes along with being young though. Overall, I would give it a 6/10, as I did not notice too many pleasant side effects, however it handled my problem inside."


"I've had this in since Nov 2012 I'm giving it a 7 because I'm not pregnant which is what it's supposed to do. However, I've hardly lost any baby weight (I exercise and watch what I eat) I also get my period at least twice a month and it's heavier than it ever was before. Seriously considering getting it taken out strictly because of the weight issues. I'm in the Navy and will probably never meet my weight requirement with it in."

"Used to get lots of stomach upset taking Aleve for extended periods.  No more with Vimovo."


"I just started taking Tegretol on June 3 for mood stability. Also prescribed Celexa on same day. I also take Methadone 10mg 4x a day for chronic pain management for last 10 yrs. I love how it makes me feel and it's very hard for me to get angry BUT, it interferes with the methadone.  At first nothing except feeling drunk for the first 4-5 days. Then it started. Withdrawal symptoms, increased pain, restlessness, insomnia, fatigue and nausea. Not sure if I can continue treatment but will find out on June 24 after my doctors appointment. Also taking meloxicam. Will let everyone know my results Friday afternoon."


"Dexedrine was very helpful in treating my narcolepsy. It is dependable without making me nervous. I am able to have a better attention span too! I can sit confidentiality at my desk or be in social situations and have confidence that I will not be falling asleep while someone is talking to me again! Dexedrine is a great medicine for narcolepsy."


"Worst mistake ever! I wish I read the comments. Burning and irritation like never before. I felt like I instantly had  UTI after in used this. Please DO NOT BUY!!!"

"Xyzal tablets worked for me as i have urticaria a red itchy  skin condition, so i've been on xyzal for 4 years now, as all the other allergy tablets did'nt work,and had no side effects."


"It is good to hear that Pristiq has helped a lot of people, unfortunately it did not work out for me. I felt okay in the beginning, but after 2 months on 100mg I started to feel irritable, nauseated, extremely tired and had the most disturbing dreams. I will have to find something else."


"I've been taking this medication for 18 years and it has worked for me."


"Worked very well. Did have next day drowsiness, but only the first day. Am only taking 10mg. I had none of these bizarre side effects I've read about. The important thing for me is that this is NOT a benzodiazepine. More researching is showing that benzodiazepines and other GABA activators may be causing permanent memory loss, that includes Zolpidem. I've been able to come off my Gabapentin and Lorazepam at night."


"I've been on ciprofloxacin for two days now, its a total of three days worth of antibiotic. This is my first time taking it and it seems to have cleared up the main reason I got prescribed the medicine but the side effects are unbearable most of the time. Long bouts of nausea that comes out of nowhere at random times, pain and tightness in my sternum, painful gas and soft stools numerous times a day and just all around feeling of bad to the point where I may not take my last dose because I m afraid I will be up again half the night with discomfort. I've been on other antibiotics before but I've never had this many side effects. I suppose it may help some people without the side effects just depends how your body handles it."


"I had been on a couple of medicatios, the best of which for me was Copaxone.  In fact, I had relatively few symptoms and it wasn't really visible.  Then I started Gilenya because it was supposed to be so much better, and oral, to boot.  I have lost so much function in terms of walking and balance in the last two years.  I went back to Copaxone but am afraid that I will never regain what I lost"


"I used this for about 6 months 100mg.  Then increased to 300mg.  A month later I got the side effect of balanitis (irritation on the tip of the penis)   This stuff is terrible, and will never think about using it again.  Horrible experience."


"Librium saved my life. I am very thankful."


"I was diagnosed with walking pneumonia and maybe Bronchitis. After 3 weeks of feeling really bad, with all flu symptoms. Coughing, sore throat and feeling crummy, I finally went to the Dr. She prescribed Benzonatate 100mg 3x a day as needed.  Plus Amoxcillan. Took 3 doses yesterday of the Benzonatate 2 today before deciding that it was making me worse.  After reading reviews, I see that I'm not the only one experiencing theses side effects.  I feel like I'm coughing up a Lung, (I'm sure my neighbors hate me) fever, night sweats, headache so bad feels like my head will explode. Depressed...decided not to take anymore and still have side effects day 3. Calling Dr. In the morning.  Correction in a few hours.  It's 5:30 a.m. no sleep. Do not recommend."


"Have suffered depression most of my life. Am now 50  and was prescribed Cymbalta after experiencing a debilitating bout of severe depression about 15 months ago. I was unable to function. I had been taking it for about two and a half years previously and decided to ween off it but after 3 months fell into the deep hole mentioned above. I take 60mg at night and sleep well, I have to watch my weight and I experience constipation. I find it hard to cry (better than the alternative right?) and also feel somewhat lethargic but overall it keeps me feeling 'normal'."


"Im not surev about this medication, I have hade good days and horrible ones. I think this has made my anxietie way worse. The withdrawl symptoms are horrible, i will never take this again."


"I'm taking Duloxetine 20mg per day for anxiety and minor depression. I have taken this med for almost two months and keep a daily journal. As a 'blind study' I started this drug without my wife's knowledge. I noticed a decrease in my overall anxiety in ten (10) days and my wife mentioned my calmness in two weeks. I am a 70 year old male and I supplement Duloxetine with Buspar on an 'as needed' basis for anxiety. The Duloxetine seems to smooth things out without the numbing effect of a benzodiazepine. I'm on the minimum available dosage and will soon ask my PCP to up my dosage to 40mg per day. There have been absolutely no bad side effects from the drug."


"I started taking Adipex-P 37.5mg on April 1, 2009 and my starting weight was 210lbs. I went back after one month and lost 17lbs. I went back to my Doctor on July 30, 2009 and I weighed 168.5lbs which is a result of losing 41 1/2lbs! I am super excited and can't wait to lose more or at least to get to my goal of at least 135 to 140. The only one complaint I would have about it is the energy level totally disappears after your first or second week."


"The spray is amazing...only thing that will clear my scalp...Right now my scalp is in a mess because my insurance will not pay on it and it is $400 for a 4oz bottle...I can't afford that."


"No more grusome dreams"


"I am 46 years old and 4'11".  On April 4th I was 165 pounds, borderline diabetic with high blood pressure at my Dr. visit.  He prescribed phentermine which I started taking on April 5th.  Today I had my 2 month visit and I have lost 19.8 pounds total.  My fasting blood sugar was down to 88 and my BP was down also.  Hoping to lose another 8-10 before my appointment in July.  Feeling great!!"


"I have been taking this drug for about 2 weeks, and it is a miracle in a bottle as far as I'm concerned.   I've been battling IBS-D for 10  years and never really sought treatment until recently.  Frequent and very urgent BMs for years to varying degrees.  Very sensitive to spicy food.  Always on the lookout for the next restroom... With Viberzi I'm down to time 1-2 per day and solid!  I haven't experienced any side effects as others have mentioned.  My Dr has tried a few other drugs, this is the first that worked for me.  The discount program worked for me.  Worth a try if you have IBS-D."


"If you want to sleep a lot, as in all day long and gain lots of weight, enjoy. I am listless, and have pre-diabetes now. "


"I underwent a two-level lumbo-sacral spine fusion (2-level PLIF) in 2007 and have been on Tramadol for chronic pain since then.  I find that Tramadol works as well as most opioids with less impairment at similar levels of pain relief.  I HAVE experienced two seizures thought to be caused by Tramadol while I was titrating upward on the drug, but have had no problems since.  I have tried titrating off of Tramadol twice and in both instances experienced moderate withdrawal symptoms of the opiate type almost immediately.  Overall I consider it a very effective analgesic for chronic low back pain with few side effects, but would recommend a prolonged titration off of the drug if you decide to discontinue use.  I give it a thumbs-up."


"Was treated for precancerous cells on my chest with Picato, a topical chemotherapy cream that is used for two days. I almost immediately developed a severe reaction where my skin blistered and then began to slide off leaving huge oozing wounds. I cannot describe the pain which, in turn, caused horrible headaches and nausea. Because of the location of the injury I was unable to even wear a shirt. After 3 1/2 days of misery I applied silvadeen and had relief right away. I could actually breathe again. Since I just did this I am not sure of the outcome but for now I am very thankful."


"Severely asthmatic for over 45 years.  When my pulmonologist who had been giving me cough syrup w codeine retired, the new doc suggested I try perles.  Been using them about 6 months.  I found them very helpful during an episode of flu.  I have had less spectacular results during allergy-related exacerbations.

I find them useful at concerts, movies, lectures, which I had previously left due to asthma episodes.

I find they work best for me if I take them 3x a day (i.e. for prevention) during allergy season, or an exacerbation.  At other times, they are part of the various meds available to handle situations. Doc said OK to take  6 in 24 hrs when needed. Cheaper than many asthma Rx

I scored them 7 on the 10 scale for effectiveness"


"I have mild allergic nasal inflammation with nighttime terbinate hypertrophy. I was afraid to even try nose spray this after reading a couple of less than good opinions. I'm very satisfied with Dymista. I have very mild allergic inflammation. I had terbinate reduction back in 2009 and was very satisfied with the procedure for a couple of years.  As warned my terbinate night time swelling gradually returned and had a very negative impact on the quality of my sleep.  For at least a year, I haven't had a nights sleep without waking 4 to 6 times a night rarely achieving REM sleep. Dymista has improved the quality of my sleep immediately."


"My experience with Ativan (lorazepam) has been one I've come to love and set the bar high when it comes to sleep. I developed insomnia as a result of having to take opioid medication for my CRPS/RSD in addition of the fact that I'm slowly recovering from the death of my best friend who passed in 2010. I have been on every insomnia medicine there is. My current regimen of the normal opiate and muscle relaxants, one to 1.5 grams of Keppra, 555mg valerian root, 10mg of melatonin, 25mg of amitriptyline, and adding up to 4mg of Ativan, depending on the next day's tasks. Works like a charm every night. "


"I've been on the Nuvaring for 7 years. I got it when I was 18 because I didn't want to take a pill everyday and I was scared the shot would make me gain weight. I love my nuvaring besides the fact that it has killed my sex drive. Thats the only downside I've experienced. So if that doesn't bother you then I highly suggest it. It cleared up my face of acne, I didn't gain any weight, it shortened my period to be about 3 days long and is very light, no extra moodiness or anxiety. The perk of it is you can skip a month in between your periods. I put it in for 3 weeks, take it out and have a period. Then the next month I take it out and put a new one in at the same time on the 4th week. I hope this helps anyone considering it."


"Used during chemotherapy for neuropathy. Helped with pain."


"This birth control worked well for me with minimal side effects. It did not give me acne and my periods were short and light with minimal cramping. No hair loss, loss of sex drive,  or nausea. My only symptoms were constant bloating, weight gain (15lbs in 7 months), and a constant insatiable appetite. I can say that it helped stabilize my mood, I experienced no major mood swings or outbursts. My insurance recently switched me to tri lo marzia and while I’m enjoying this pill, (weight loss, less of an appetite, no bloating), it is causing some major mood changes. I know there is a pill out there for me but I don’t think either of these are it. If your pharmacy tells you these medications are the same, don’t listen."


"Arthritis in my back (L4-L5) causing extreme pain in my right hip for an hour or two after getting up in the morning.  I'd had 3 steroid injections in my back which relieved the pain for 3 - 6 months.  I was ready for another injection but instead tried meloxicam.  It's now 3 months later.  Most of the time there's no pain; occasional pain is quite tolerable.  No noticeable side effects so far."


"I've been on this medication (Nora-Be) for a little over a month now and my only complaint is that I have no idea when I'll get my period, the random spotting and the length of the period. Each time I have spotting, I'm not sure if it's my period or spotting then when I finally got my period, I had no idea how long it would be (still having it 6 days later). One of the main reasons I went on birth control was to control my period, since I have migraines however, I'm no longer allowed (per PPNE) allowed to have estrogen in my birth control which takes out that ability to control my period. Beyond that, no other side effects (i.e. weight gain, breast tenderness). I'll report back if that changes over the next few months."


"Been on Testim for 2.5 months. Huge improvement in mood, and physical stature. Started working out again. I feel great! Strong and sexy. Wife likes it too! My libido has increased and the reaction from other females is incredible. I lost 25 lbs prior to starting and am now seeing my abs again. The energy is awesome as I motivate a group for business part time. Love the smell. Application is a daily chore but worth it."


"Absolutely incredible. Tried Xanax the first time with horrible side effects, switched to propranolol and it honestly was too good to be true. I couldn't believe that it actually worked. Totally doubted medication until I was prescribed propranolol and my PTSD med."


"Took my first dose last night before bed since I have been having a nagging cough from allergies. Helped suppress the cough a little (not completely) but I was up on and off all night with anxiety, nausea, night sweats, and of course, coughing. It is now 2pm the following day and I have been extremely dizzy all day and have been having very gassy diarrhea and stomach cramps. I have been stuck at home all day feeling bad. Will never use this medication again. I prefer coughing over vertigo and diarrhea."
