"Turns out I had bacterial vaginitis for a year or so and it was awful. I mean sex was painful, weird smelling discharge, everything was completely out of wack. I finally decided to go to a gynecologist, I told her all of my symptoms and she prescribed me Flagyl 2 a day for an entire week and only BAD side effects I personally experienced were mood swings, diarrhea (every single time) and the horrible chalky taste it left behind.. other than that, cured my BV. Tried every possible cure (natural) and I guess some things just don't work for everyone ... but flagyl worked wonders on me. I recommend .. (consult with your PCP)"


"My doctor gave me a sample box as my insurance would not cover. After reading reviews this is what I did. Chilled water and Suprep, put Oragel on my tongue and mouth to deaden taste buds. Used a straw as far back as possible held my nose. Each time I stopped I drank orange Gatorade and put a little honey on my tongue. Only tasted a little strong cough syrup. It took effect about 30 minutes later and subsided in a couple of hours. I did this at 6 PM and 3 am procedure at 8:30 am. I wish I had some diaper rash ointment as the Vaseline did not quite do the trick with the burning. Did not have any severe reactions."


"I'm 44 years old so not sure if it was the pill that indeed resulted in the negative pregancy test.  First, I ALWAYS practice safe sex and even go over board in making sure its put on properly, etc. So you can only imagine how surprised and devastated  I was when he withdrew and told me what happened. I immediately went in panic mode because I barely even knew this guy. He was very nice and very supportive through it all though. I took Plan B about 4 hours after the incident. It was 14 days from the first day of my last period so I most likely I was ovulating. I did have some side effects but none were listed on the box so may not have been from Plan B.  I had a stiff neck for 3 days and very vivid dreams on the 3rd and 4th day. That's it!"


"I ended up in the hospital with pulmonary embolism because of this medication. Many people don't know how dangerous this medication is and can cause blood clots especially for people that have blood clotting medical history within their family. Does medication causes blood clots! I almost died because of this medication. I do not recommend it to anyone"


"I've had Skyla now for about 7 months. Everyones insertion story will be different with the pain, but for me I had a pretty bad experience. What hurt me the most was the opening of my cervix. I feel like they opened it wider like 4 or 5 times and that was super painful. I have a feeling thats what birth will feel like. It felt like a sped up dilation process. Good thing she was done when she was because I was about to pass out. I threw up from the pain and (TMI) it made me have to go to the bathroom. The cramps afterwards were very intense!  Skyla has made my skin very oily, barely any libido, can't lose weight AT ALL, irritability, but hey I'm not pregnant. *smh* Getting it removed tomorrow, I'm done with BC."


"I have been on Tenuate for 3 months now and have lost 33 pounds, and I couldn't be happier. Though there is a lot of hard work involved in exercising and making sure to eat right, but I would recommend Tenuate to anyone who needs to lose a significant amount of weight."


"I started on this medication (37.5 mg) on March 12, 2015 weighing 217. Today, August 30, 2015 I weigh 175.  In a few weeks I will begin a much lower dose. There are some negative side effects, dry mouth and constipation being the most annoying but I had no jitters or changes in sleep. I'm 47 and am 5'5 with a goal weight of 140."


"I'm very treatment resistant bipolar type 2, typically severely depressed, with OCD and several other comorbid diagnoses, and antidepressants for me, IF they work, will tend to poop out after only a few weeks to a few months. This was not the case for duloxetine. I started on 60 mg and it worked wonderfully for several months, the longest any antidepressant has worked for me. Then, that summer, I became depressed again. After trials of other meds, I wound up back on duloxetine, this time at 90 mg, which worked for another 6 months. I begged for 120 mg but for some reason my psychiatrist refused to prescribe it, so I had to switch to something else. Recently I wound up back on it for about a month or so at 120 mg, then at 80 mg."


"Added 0.5 mcg to my Tirosint in August - nothing much changed until last week when I started taking this 1 hour after my Tirosint - down 5 lbs in one week!  I have changed nothing else."


"I strongly advise against taking this drug. Many people do not know that this drug has been banned in the UK due to the amount of people that died from it or contracted Steven Johnson Syndrome, which is characterized by your skin falling off. I was prescribed Bactrim for a UTI. Clearly, there were a lot of other options to prescribe a small, 100 pound girl with a minor infection. However, the doctor chose this drug. I took 3 pills out of the 14 that I was given and I had such a severe migraine that I could not open my eyes or chew food. The pain eventually went into my neck and that is when I stated to panic - called doc and was told I had an allergic reaction and stopped taking it immediately."


"I've been diagnosed PCOS not so long ago. I'm 20 yrs old. My doctor put me on metformin. She said to take it for 1-2 weeks 1000mg a day. I felt very fine! Then she said to increase it to 1000mg twice a day. This is my second day taking 4 pills a day. And I feel horrible stomach pain, nausea horrible!!! Maybe it's because I don't have a decent meal with my pills. Will that affect it at all? Can someone help?!"


"Gave this drug a ten a few months ago but after just over a year it has stopped  working. Now trying roactemra"


"From username you can tell I was a roofer my entire adult life and at the end had a bad fall and burst l1. Had a fusion 5 levels and went back to work for 5 years and had to retire. Started taking nucynta after retiring works well for about 3 hours and pain starts increasing. Much better than other meds as far as side effects after taking it a few days. I don't get all loopy and can thing straight and function normal. Friends say to me they have never seen me act high. They don't even realize I'm taking it. I'm sure if you abuse them it's like the rest. Just take what you need have a life."


"I absolutely hate it! I've had it for less than a week and my acne is AWFUL! My face is greasy and my hair is falling out. Also, by mood swings are terrible. DO NOT waste your time and money."


"I just found out I had HSV. I have itching and burning sensation and the doctor put me on 200 mg daily. Will that be enough?"


"The patches work wonders for my back pain. I put one on and 10 to  20 minutes later I have no pain for the next 12 hours!"


"I have had anxiety for over 40 years and I never thought I would feel like this. Paxil has help me a lot and I wish I had taken if earlier. It help me with my anxiety being about 80% less. I'm not as compulsive now. I lost 20 pds because I was not as anxious and eating all the time."


"I have been on Repatha for over 6 months.  It has worked wonderful for me.  My cholesterol is down to approximately 30.

Sadly I note some side effects on certain patients as noted in some of these reports.   I am sorry to hear of this as Repatha certainly has done it's job for me.   As for me-

I have had NO SIDE EFFECTS  from REPATHA.  When I administer this drug into my belly, (the needle barely penetrates the skin) I have a slight sensation of this substance going into my body.  This feeling lasts for about 30 seconds.

I have had quad by-pass surgery and most certainly am trying to keep my cholesterol count to a minimum.  Repatha is certainly doing this with me.

I would not hesitate to suggest Repatha to any of my friends or family."


"I have been on this birth control for the past 4 months. Its my first time ever being on birth control and I'm 19 years old. The positives for me about it are that I don't have cramps at all, I have a period for only 3 or 4 days and my acne cleared up really well. I still get a few little pimples every now and then but not as bad as I used to. The negative factors about this are the WEIGHT GAIN, I hate it. I went from a size 8 jeans to a size 10-12 in the past 4 months. I'm trying to find ways to control it though. I also don't have any sex drive, I'm hardly ever in the mood to do anything anymore. The last one is that I get depressed every now and then. "


"I have been completely amazed at how fast and how completely Mobic took my pain away.  I am now able to resume activities I had had to stop before taking it."


"I used hexachlorophene before it was taken off the market.  I used it once and it burned my face so badly I had to see a dermatologist for months and repeatedly have my face scraped   and wrapped like a mummy. I wasn't the only one in my family to use it. Three of us used it at the same time. We all had a chemical burn but mine was worse because  my skin was much  lighter. The company then came out with Phiso-Hex. I  never used it, but I would suggest to use extreme caution or better yet find something without hexachlorophene in it."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Terrible reaction to this medicine. Severe bloating and cramps. At first I just figured it was a side effect and will feel better once it started working the cramps would go away. But it never worked and cramps got really intense after hour 5 hours after drinking Suprep I was considering going to the emergency room. I didn't have fever or feel like vomiting so I decided to stay. But 30 minutes later I felt weak, dizzy, nauseous, had dry month and my jaw was going numb. I went to the ER. After vomiting I felt better. But then had a bought of hiccups that caused further pain from the cramping. My body couldn't handle the medicine. I did fast, I did all that your supposed to do."


"I was taking Topamax 200 mg every day for my monthly migraines and it was working well until I went to my eye doctor and he checked the pressure in my eyes. I had a high pressure in my left eye so my doctor put me on gabapentin. I take 200 mg every day and its been great. Even when I do get a migraine its very muted and very tolerable. Great medicine!"


"Headache due to AVM in brain: I was given this in the hospital via IV in hopes of bringing down a severe headache caused by my AVM. Within the first minute the drip began I started freaking out as well as developing a severe rash so they unhooked it immediately. Even after it having been stopped I was inconsolable and hyperventilating for about a half an hour. The morning after I was vomiting and had diarrhea. 48 hours later my stomach is still churning and the rash is just beginning to fade. Safe to say Decadron is on my allergy list now."


"After 4 LONG years of "experimenting" with Lexapro, Paxil and benzos on and off with my regular MD, I decided to see a Psychiatrist that's very popular in my city. I told him my symptoms and that I was also going through Ativan tolerance withdrawal. He prescribed me Remeron and agreed to wean me off the Ativan properly. I don't know why my regular MD didn't try this miracle medicine on me! GRR!! This changed me overnight. It has STOPPED my nervous stomach and I'm eating again. I sleep good too. A few side effects would be the flashing lights you see when you close your eyes the 1st night I took it, and restless legs and vivid dreams but those are slowly disappearing. This medicine has helped me drastically."


"Works fantastic! No more depression or anxiety!"


"Great drug and works like a charm. The only problem I found is it depletes your magnesium and potassium and I got muscle cramps so bad I thought I was having a heart attack. Even was rushed to hospital. The said, no heart attack. Finally, I figured it out on my own eleminating things because all the doctors wanted to do was push more drugs on me. Cannot take the drug. I have had part of my large colon removed due to Diverticulitis and then gall bladder surgery as well as adhesion removal surgery.

For those that are able to take it, I highly recommend it."


"So, I read the previous reviews with a lot of trepidation.  But my experience was pretty positive.  Is it something I want to do again?  No way.  But it wasn't intolerable as I feared.

The taste isn't good but bearable if you chase it with something else (ginger ale in my case).  As others have said, it's the water afterwards which is most difficult as you are already bloated.

My stomach started making noises around 15 minutes afterwards and within 45 minutes I was confined to the toilet for the next hour and a half.  But then it was all clear and we were good. The morning one was more limited as I was already mostly cleared.  Maybe another 45 minutes on the toilet.

The actual colonoscopy was a breeze.   Nothing to fear."


"Needed help getting harder, longer lasting erections. First tried Cialis 10mg a month ago. Very satisfied and no side effects so. Easy use and find it effective even after 24-36 hours."


"Cryselle changed my life. I went from super heavy periods with unbearable cramps that lasted 6-7 days to light, painless periods that last 3 days. My mood swings are gone and I haven't had any side effects besides a decreased libido which I honestly don't mind."


"Hi there I wanted to share with the ones that have dry mouth with this I also did if you go to walmart and go to the toothpaste isle find the tooth paste I believe it was called dry mouth in a blue package I used it once and it helped my dry mouth same day and other was able to use my regular toothpaste for a couple weeks before having to brush again with dry mouth tooth paste air wanted to share this because the dry mouth is what almost caused me to stop taking welbutrin but it works so great for me I wanted to try everything possible first:)  really hope this helps also if you don't have insurance good rx will decrease the cost tremendously :)"


"My dr added buspar twice a day while on lexapro already. Took for about a week. Every time I took it about an hour later all I wanted to do was kill myself. It would go away for a while and then once I took it again, the same feelings came back. Took it for about a week and stopped after I couldn't take the feelings anymore. Feelings stopped immediately. Would never try this again."


"UPDATE 02/18/2016- I started taking Contrave on December 18. My original review is here for comparison. In 2 months, I did lose 21-23 pounds ( my weight varied a lot with the ScaleDown program included with the medication). I am 5'7'' and almost 58 years old, and my starting weight was 218 . I returned to my doctor's office today and my weight is 194. That's the GOOD news.
The bad news is that I have developed persistent, severe nausea without vomiting. It never goes away, regardless of decreasing my dose or slightly changing up my Jenny food.
Because of the unrelenting nausea, I did return to my internal medicine doctor today and I was taken off Contrave due to the severe nausea, which my doctor said is a common side effect.
Good health!"


"I've been on Generess Fe now for over two years, and I am switching to a different birth control. The main reason I'm switching is because my sex drive is virtually non-existent, and my Dr. said that is because the Generess levels you out (because it is super low in estrogen), so you don't get the "highs" you would get with some other BC pills or without BC. Also, it is not covered by most insurance because it is a chewable (I've paid about $25/mo, which is not as fun as free). And I feel like it gives me uncontrollable breakouts -- I also looked into this and a lack of estrogen causes your skin to produce more oil, which causes breakouts. On the plus side, I haven't had a period in over a year!

Time to switch for me."


"I went on Prozac several months ago after having been severely depressed for over a year straight (with a few days here and there of hypomania). It's made a huge difference! I'm only on 20 milligrams but I am a lot less depressed and more productive than I was. The only downside is that I am still having some bad mood swings, but overall it has helped my depression a lot."


"I am taking the second cycle now. In general, I'm happy with my experience so far and I'll keep taking it. Negative sides. During the first week, I felt sick to my stomach all the time and I was supertired, but it went away. During the third week, I had mood swings and felt depressed, but I always feel this way a week before my period, so it was normal to me. Also my boobs became larger and it's a little painful to touch them, but that's okay. Positive sides. It feels really good not to worry about becoming pregnant. My sex drive is the same or even increased, weight is the same, appetite doesn't seem to increase. Period is less heavy, skin is better, acne is disappearing."


"Within minutes of taking pill I started itching like crazy and blister/boil like sores popped up . Stopped taking it for three days itching stopped and boils healed. Its may still have fillers in it"


"I just started taking this pill not yet through the first week, and already I'm covered in acne which I never had using the IUD. I decided I didn't want the IUD anymore after the five years were up because it poked my partner and is something I can't take out myself. Anyways Yasmin has caused me crazy acne like teenager status (I'm 25) and has caused me breast tenderness when I used to feel no tenderness at all. I read the reviews about gaining a cup size.. I hope that doesn't happen to me, I already have  DD's. We'll see how the next few months play out, but so far NOT IMPRESSED"


"As far as birth control goes it works but I have had horrible headaches, monthly pains that I never had before, horrible mood swings and weight gain and very bloated. I'm switching this week after my cycle."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have needed blood transfusion every 2 months , more if I want , iron My level is very low since on Eliquis"


"I had rosacea (occasional red bumps and redness) on my face (only) for several years.  I finally saw a dermatologist, who prescribed minocycline plus a topical application, Clarifoam EF.  Since I began treatment seven weeks ago, my skin improved noticeably with the first ten days and has not shown return of the symptoms.  I'm waiting to see if it does return when I am completely off the minocycline.  A possible side benefit (or coincident), I had a thickening in my throat and chronic cough when lying down or when breathing deeply or laughing.  That also was gone within the first two weeks."


"Horrible effects; insomnia, muscle spasm, heart pain, facial pain, skin rashes and acne, low body temperatutre<97 F"


"I was diagnosed with a 13cm fibroid.  The doctor wanted to shrink it to be able to perform a lathroscopic hysterectomy.  I was having CONSTANT heavy bleeding for months on end, even the transamic acid wasn't slowing it down.   First drug we tried was Fibristal.  It was supposed to slow the bleeding and shrink the fibroid.  I took this for 6 months and it did ABSOLUTELY nothing.   The doctor then suggested Lupron Depot. The first week on Lupron was hard.  Bleeding was much heavier than before (which was already horrible).  But by week 2 the bleeding completely stopped.  By 5 months on Lupron my fibroid had shrunk to 11cm.  A bit of hot flashes. Some fogginess/irritability, but that's normal for me...lol"


"I take Vicodin for menstrual cramps.  It is quite effective in eliminating the pain, but it does make me very sleepy and slightly out of touch with reality.  I found that caffeine counters this effect, but I haven't asked my doctor yet if it is okay to take caffeine with Vicodin (I read the warning label twice and didn't find anything mentioned there).  I haven't noticed withdrawal symptoms, but I do use a minimum amount and am not prone to addiction in general."


"ignore the horror stories! I got the implant yesterday and yes there was some painful cramping but it wasn't enough to make me want to pass out or not drive home. I just made sure to relax and keep breathing and it was over before I knew it. I was perfectly fine immediately after my gyno removed all her instruments. I took 800 mg of ibuprofen before hand  and my nurse told me that I should just stay in pain meds for 24 hours because of the cramps, I did get cramps maybe 3 hours after I got the implant and a few of them sucked but they were like regular period cramps. I got home and cuddle up with a heat pack and went to bed.I'm halfway through my 2nd day and I'm not on meds and I'm fine. So far so good. Will leave another review later."


"I started taking trazadone 50mg for anxiety and an anti anxiety med. I was given 150mg for depression but it had little effect but did not have a negative reaction like prozac etc after many years of deliberating with my doctor 450mg daily works for severe depression for me. Once you get used to the drowsiness it works great.  I feel much better."


"The birth control does well with keeping you from getting pregnant. But I'm on my third month of taking the pill, and I've been bloated for about a week and a half now. I lost my appetite, mood swings, and head aches."


"Works great for me when I use it on a "per attack" basis. My Doctor put me on it 3 times a day and that will make it ineffective. I only take it when I feel my heart starting to race and within 5 to 10 minutes I am back to normal."


"I took this medication for 5 months. I started off the first couple months with lots of nausea and my breasts were constantly sore. I decided to wait it out, but today had to call my doctor to get it switched. While on this medication, my breasts were constantly tender and very painful. I also felt nauseous a lot and on the first day of my last period I had to miss school because of it. My PMS symptoms seemed worse. It did work to prevent pregnancy, because my sex drive is non-existent. I also experienced dryness l, which I have never had a problem with. Other than the breast soreness and nausea, I didn't gain any weight or have any other issues."


"I've been using pentasa 2 times a day a total of 4 pills it definitely helps! Sometimes I get headaches and feel sick sometimes and occasionally get pain and for some reason ever since I started taking them I get these weird skin patches"


"after 18 months of extreme life stress, I could not fall asleep. I was getting mental health counselling and started taking a low dose sertraline (50mg), not sure it helped.  I was diagnosed with acute trauma, anxiety, major depression, paranoia and insomnia.  My new general practitioner recommended I try Trazodone, as I would only consider a stronger drug like xanax as a last resort, I am very sensitive to medications. She prescribed 50 mg at bedtime. I started with 25mg at bedtime. After just one dose, and a great nights sleep, I woke up the next day feeling like I had just awoken from a very long (18 months+) bad dream.  I am at a loss to understand how just one dose of 25mg and one nights sleep had that huge impact.  MIRACLE!!!"


"I went to the doctor because of a serious flu that affected my breathing because of post nasal drips, extreme coughing and fearsome blockage of my throat while coughing. Among two other medicines including general cough medicine, he prescribed Nasonex. This has helped tremendously. It has cleared my nasal passages and it has allowed me to breath properly. It has stopped my heavy snoring which was caused by having to breath through my mouth.

I do not know whether I am imagining it, but for years I have had erectile disfunction, so much so that I have given up trying anything to cure it and just accept my condition. However, lately I am getting reasonable erections at night and I wounder if it is some beneficial side effect of Nasonex."


"I have Crohn's disease! It's like a Miracle drug. One dose in the morning and one dose in the evening I dont have any problems associated with the crohn's disease!"


"Apart from sluggishness and diarrhea, this has kept me alive for 10 years."


"Tinnitus, very loud and lasts all day and night. Couldn't sleep until I used Xanax and it worked great!"


"A friend and i had a mishap with a condom : i checked ovulation calendars (even though they aren't reliable information)they indicated i was in the fw..past ovulation. Maybe. We bought plan b, and i took it 8pm the day after.  All the symptoms began the following day. Nausea,  with waves of panic after reading it might not be effective on women over bmi, which i found news those studies are not conclusive. No proof.  More freaking out because of timing. I may of already ovulated. Well, my period was on time but did not have usual symptoms. I had pregnancy symptoms as  pms and  plan b like to mimic. He flaked out prior to so I'm glad. Im 38, bmi is high, i already ovulated am sure and time frame was 24hrs later after deed.  It worked for me."


"I've been on Chantix for six weeks and have uncontrollably made contact with every ex-girlfriend I've ever had, to rehash all of our relationship problems. On a more positive note, I'm feeling optimistic about quitting smoking. Anyone considering chantix should delete the phone numbers of all their exes. Trust me."


"I dealt with troubled sons. One did 12 years of Angola La State Pen. He came to  worked for me for some years. Was extremely stressful to deal with an ex-convict in weather in construction bricklaying business. A bit later my youngest Son moved out. He got with awful drug addicts. Did Meth, Coke, Vodka. Tore up apartments, his own house fora sum of $32,000 coming off meth. He did $10,000 damage on a 1999 super Dodge Dakota.  Lorazepam saved my life. I'm a 225 lb man, 76 years old. I started 20 years ago. Worked for me in 30 minutes, I felt calm and hope come over me. I take 2mg morning and night.  Why would I care if this addiction makes me feel good. You shouldn't care either if this addition helps you cope. It's a miracle drug. Thank God!"


"I was prescribed Atarax taking 25mg up to 3x daily or as needed. The first few days it made me groggy and want to sleep and experience very vivid dreams and nightmares. After a few days the grogginess went away and it actually helped me function while having high anxiety and helped to calm me. I still experience nightmares more often than I'd like to but I'd rather be functioning daily so I keep taking it"


"This birth control made my face really clear. When I get my period..I get tiny pimples here & there but it's nothing serious. Before the birth control my menstrual cramps used to sooooo painful! Now I barely have cramps. The con of this pill is low sex drive. I rarely have sex with my boyfriend and when I do, it burns after. That never happened before the pill."


"Had 3 implanon implants and currently have nexplanon in, I loved the implanon, no real side effects, regular periods and I managed to lose 4 st whilst on them, but the nexplanon is another matter, brain fog, hair thinning, anxiety, depression, non existent sex drive, I can't even bear for my husband to touch me, sore boobs to the point that it makes me cry, now weight gain, since I had it put in in May 16 I have gained 2.5 stone, I have an active job and eat healthily, no matter what I do my weight keeps jumping up at 7lb at a time and I cannot shift it, I cannot wait to get it out, please ladies do not have this implant!!!"


"I loved the nexplanon for a week after my period ended and now I've been non stop bleeding for about two   weeks now. I'm so disappointed and I want to get mine removed. I knew going into getting it that there would be "spotting" but I didn't expect to have a heavy period for 2   weeks. Never will I get this again."


"I started with infection in my sinus that was mild. Then I got a bad nosebleed that was unrelated to the infection. I had to get one complete side of my nose packed all the way to the sinus cavity (uncomfortable). The doctor gave me Augmentin 875-125 for 2 weeks so no further infection ensued. Almost done with it now and it worked extremely well for the infection. Like some have said, make sure that you have a restroom close by. It will make your gas pretty much unbearably crude."


"I have had my Implanon in since February 2011, so 14 months. It has been really great. At first I was gaining weight, but that was because of unhealthy habits. Now that I am up and moving more, drinking less soda and more water, I am losing faster than ever. I get a "period" every 3-4 months or so, and even then it is just 3 days of slight spotting. The only negatives I can think of are slightly decreased sex drive (which you can work through) and sometimes feeling a bit depressed (which usually lasts less than a day). If you are thinking about getting Implanon and are turned off by the possible side effects, just try it. It can be taken out any time. And remember, there is no "natural" birth control, everything has side effects."


"I had the Implanon placed 1 month after my daughter was born, May 2011.  It is now April 2012.  I am getting this taken out in 1 week. I can't take it anymore...I have pretty much been on my period 10 out of the 12 months I have had it. I am always tired, always moody. Before I had so much energy and was outgoing, now I have no energy and hate everything.  The Implanon did not work for me at all.  I'm going to try out Trinessa now, hopefully it will work out better for me."


Esterified estrogens / methyltestosterone

"After trying every other hormone. The Doctor put me on methyltestosterone F S. I have been on this drug for 20 yrs now. My Insurance will not pay for it.It is the only hormone that works for me. I type this now because I stop taking 10 days a go thinking 70 years old I would not need them. At this time I am in hot flashs, sweats and can not sleep. I will be making a appointment with my Doc ASAP. Do not think your to old to need estrogens and testosterones."


"I've been taking this birth control for over 2 years. It works great most of the time but once a year I have a period that's 2 weeks long. I'm going to my doctor soon to look at other options."


"nothing you can lose at all with this pills  - only your money ,even with very strict diet"


"For the first night in I can't tell you how long, I am processing one thought at a time. I am calm instead of frienzied. My normal 20 thoughts all playing at the same time are gone and I'm not sure what to do with the calm. This may take a few days to adjust, but I am at peace right now that has been sorely lacking."


"I've been depressed for most of my life but was raised to "tough it out". I am a recovering opioid addict so I am scared to take any medication at all. The last 3 years I've completely withdrawn from any social activities, relationships & have just been doing the bare minimum to get by. Recently my oldest son turned 18 & has severed ties with me. This took me to the lowest low I've ever been & made me suicidal. For the sake of my younger son, I chose to get help. I was put on 20mg of prozac & have been on it for 3 weeks. I wish I would have done this sooner. Through my recovery from opioids, I've learned that pills are not the answer so these combined with counseling is the solution I've needed for a long time. I hope this helps others."


"I have been taking Exforge for months now. I'm having trouble with heart beating fast. Tired all the time. It has my blood pressure down but I don't feel well."

"LOVE this pill. I'm in the last week of active pills for the 3-month pack and I have yet to experience any negative side effects. No breakthrough bleeding, no sudden flares in acne, my weight has not fluctuated, and my sex drive is still kickin! Definitely recommend this pill to anyone considering Seasonique."


"Only one that ever helped. WHEN will it go generic?"


"Best birth control ever, did make me extremely moody and hungry .. Only thing that had me worried was that my bones started to crack so easily .. So I stopped taking it"


"I have done very well on Gilenya. I was very hesistant at first because I was on Tysabri for 4 years (which worked great) when they did a study and found out I had the JC virus. It took me about 6 months to decide what to do, but after going to two of the best neurologists, and both of them recommending Gilenya, I went forth with that decision. My doctor said a small relapse would be normal in the first 3-5 months since my body would still be adjusting. I have never had a relapse since being treated. I have been on it for 6 months. If you are going to do it just do it with confidence and positive thinking because if you stress about it then any medicine you try may not work to its full potential. It's hard not to but just trust in your decision."


"This is my first time getting a YI and I tried to get an appointment with my doctor but they couldn't see me for another week from now so I went to the pharmacy today to see if I could get something to control the discharge and itching until I can see the doctor and they suggested that I get Monistat 7... so me being the naive person that I am was like oh okay that sounds great! So after I showered tonight I applied day 1 of the application and I promise you this is the worst pain I've ever experienced down there in my life! My vagina is on fire, it's itching and throbbing. I want to just wash this stuff out but I feel like I should give the product a chance. Whoever created this stuff need to readjust the formula because this sucks"


"This medication saved my life. I have been struggling with anxiety for 20 years and nothing has worked. Finally decided to go on an SSRI for this and mild depression and it's like the weight has been lifted off of me. No longer am sick all of the time. No longer do my triggers affect me to the extent that they once did. I had panic attacks about taking this medication, and if you have anxiety about medication I ask you to just give it a try. If this isn't the one for you then your doctor can switch you. If you're looking for a sign to start I hope that this is it!"


"I've been in severe pain for about 8 years and I'm only in my early 30's. Have been told by too many doctors that I have fibromyalgia but cannot function on Lyrica. Been on Oxycontin 60mg twice a day for almost 3 years now. I was able to work and take care of my child. But lost insurance and can't pay the for Oxycontin. So I haven't been able to work. "


"Holy hell I'm feeling weird. I give this medication a high review because it honestly does work but the sides effects are wild!!!!! I'm on the 6th day of 7 and just took a pregnancy test because I'm so nauseous but could be my own fault because I have only had one meal today and took both pills already so probably not the smartest, have Chinese food on the way though. Also, this is my third time getting BV... so over having a vagina. So yeah, moral of the story.... DON'T TAKE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!!!!!!"


"I've been experiencing intermittent diarrhea for like 4 weeks, unsure y. Doc prescribed me dis med. (Dazomet) brand. Today's my last day. These are d things i'm experiencing since day 1: 3xday 500mg for 7 days.

1) dark urine almost brown (the smell of antibiotic makes me vomit)
2) bloated and stomach cramps
3) abdominal pain
4) I also feel like i have a flu
5) behavioral changes (i've been depressed, clingy etc..)
6) I cant sleep that much due to mentioned cramps and i feel tired and weak.
7) loss of appetite. I don't want to eat much even if i want to, because i feel like vomitting everyday.
But i feel a lot better now. The side effects are lesser and tolerable as day goes by. Diarrhea did not come back and will go back to doc for follow up"


"I have taken Topamax for bipolar twice. First for three years then now for a year. Do not know why I ever went off! This has been great for me after 25 years on lithium which was like living under 4 wet wool blankets. I also tried Depakote which only increased the weight gain and depression. At first, the side effects were a bit rough even at the initial very low dose of 25 mg. Very sleepy and tingly of hands and feet. BUT they pass, they really do. It may take a week of just being exhausted even when you increase your dose. The appetite depressant is wonderful. Also cuts down on general anxiety. Takes the real edge off the hypomania. I have not had any of the problems with finding words, etc. "


"My boyfriend and I had unprotected sex about 2 weeks ago and bought Plan B the day after having sex. So that night he wore a condom but the condom slipped off and he came inside of me just a little bit.  Just to make sure it wasn't a possibility of me being pregnant right now he bought Plan B. I was really skeptical on if it'll work at first but I read all these good reviews and it kind of made me not stress over me possibly being pregnant to much. Today I got my period and it was the biggest relief ever. So don't stress out Plan B really works."


"Best birth control ever have not had any problems with this medication."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"The only side effect I have dealt with is an achy jaw the day after the shot. My levels were very low and Neulasta did its job and brought my levels back to normal."


"I have been on my period for well over a month after just forgetting one pill. I also have all of the horrible side effects including cramps, bloating, and breast tenderness."


"I got this shot so I wont have to deal with my period this summer I got it on May 8 2015 today is June 18 2015 and I'm still bleeding. Do not get this shot!"


"I've suffered from a level of anxiety for most of my life, but last year my husband lost his job. And, while that was a bad turn for us, my reaction to it was quite out of proportion.  I was a crying, anxiety-ridden mess - just struggled to make it through my workday and felt completely unglued and out of control. It was the final straw and my doctor prepared Celexa. I was nauseated the first 2 weeks and then suddenly one day I wasn't and it's been smooth sailing from there on out. I do have less interest in sex - a down side and I am sleepy more than I'd like. But, it is overall worth it - plus. God bless whoever made this medicine. It has been a life-saver for me."


"I've been on Soolantra now for almost 3 months.  At 2 weeks, I had a flare up.  Then my face cleared up dramatically.  Then at about 4 weeks I had one of the worst flare ups that I have ever had.  White heads everywhere and a few hard pustules that took over a week to heal.  I wanted to give up, but am sooooo glad I stuck with it!  No breakouts since.  If you can muscle through the ups and downs, it's so worth it.  I believe this medication takes 60-90 days to see full results.  Don't give up too early!  I also just started on Rhofade in the Am.  Love this as well!  I do not want to take antibiotics and so far these two creams are keeping my face under control!!"


"Struggled with life at home, at work, with relationships. I have never taken stimulants, and I had anxiety and ADHD. Straterra has changed my life.

Anxiety - gone

Attention - noticeably improved.

This is a medication you have to be patient with.

1st 2 weeks - felt like I was going to pass out of pure exhaustion, constipation, felt zero improvement (40mg.)

3rd week - anxiety amazingly disappeared  (60mg.).

- Realized my confusion was in fact anxiety  (not lack of intelligence).

- Job performance - started seeing noticeable improvement to the point to where I was amazing myself.

- Obsessive thoughts - gone

- Can sit in my seat for longer periods of time and easily tackle many tasks like it's a piece of cake!

- Handle stress with ease"


"This is the HANDS down best BC out there for me. I have 1 side effect which is lack of appetite in week 1. Nothing else!
Before I took this pill I was bleeding vaginally mysteriously for weeks at a time. This birth control saved me from insanity. It stopped the random bleeding and the awful pain( Endometriosis?) Pain is now a 4/10, not a 10/10. I was thinking of switching the Trinessa 28 day to the one where it's just one mg.
I feel good. I gained some weight (I needed it) and my skin is starting to clear up! I feel this also stopped my hair from falling out as often as well.
The only con is that the first week of the pill causes lack of appetite for me. I wonder if anyone else experiences this? I feel great by week 2 & 3."


"DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. I had a mild yeast infection: some discharge, itching, swelling and I wanted to treat it quickly so I picked monostat one day without doing any research prior. I put the dinosaur egg in me before bed and slept through the night but when I woke up for class I started to experience the worst pain I have ever felt. The burning was so much worse that the actual infection and it's been 6 hours since it started burning and it's still continuing. There is also blood coming out of me. I've been told that the 7 or 3 day monostat is a similar experience, but not as bad. This drug is also not even guaranteed to work, so I experienced this excruciating pain for nothing, and have to go on the prescribed pill."


"Titrated up to 40mg over two weeks and then tried riding it out for another couple of weeks. Eventually I could not take another day and discontinued the medication. Not only did I not experience relief, but I feel my symptoms worsened while taking Viibryd. I was more irritable, restless, angry, upset, and anxious than I had ever been in my entire life. Also experienced a lot of nausea and headaches"


"I'm on day 7 of using Chantix.  I'm using it to quit a smokeless tobacco habit.  I was using about a tin a day and wanted to share my experience as reading through the reviews it seamed like they were all for smokers.
On day 2 Copenhagen started to taste nasty, and make me nauseous having one it.  I "powered through" this for 3 more days, as I wasn't quite ready to give up my buddy.  I'm now into day 2 without a "dip" and I really don't have the desire for one.  I still have triggers, but I can rationalize and overcome with logic that these are just cravings and ignore them.
As far as side effects I do have some nausea  after taking the pill, but with food and a glass of water its not bad.  Like most very vivid dreams, but no nightmares."


"Been taking this for about a month now.  Had been on Pristiq, but it killed my libido.  Doc finally tested me for low T, and I started taking a steroid replacement (fortesta) about the same time I started Viibyrd.  Now I feel great, but do get the random boner every now and then."


"I am 49 and have been on this medication for one cycle. The side effects have not been as bad as I had anticipated. I had a few mild headaches, and bit of bloating, tender breasts and a mild acne breakout, and was a bit tired a few days. I am taking it for a proliferative endometrium and after 4 days being off the medicine, I am getting a period, so it seems to be working as planned. I am taking 200 mg."


"So I thought I had a yeast infection and went to get the monistat three day eggs to clear it up. I accidentally bought the prefilled applicators because I didn't read the box, big mistake. I put one in me and felt like Satan himself manifested into my insides. I currently feel like a flame could explode from my vagina and light my whole body on fire. I am hoping this doesn't happen. In the event that it doesn't, I will be calling my doctor tomorrow to hear her say out loud not to stick the other two applicators that lead to the fiery gates of Hell up me. Do not use these ever!!"


"Worst medication I have ever had. I started off vomiting once a day, then twice a day. My hands were tingly, and my feet. My scalp went tingly too. I felt so dizzy and thought I was going to pass out. This was just awful. At first I thought this might have been symptoms of amoeba, but it was from the antibiotic - metronodizole is a powerful drug.
Unfornately I had all these symptoms on an island and had to return to mainland. The more competent doctor on mainland, stopped the flagyl and prescribed dioxanide furoate.
Metronodizole is used to treat the parasite, however there are also eggs associated with the parasite, and they will hatch as well. metronodizol treats the parasite, diox treats the eggs. these will show in stool separately."


"I absolutely love the Mirena.  Afer getting with my lifepartner 8 years ago I opted for the Mirena because he had custody of his two daughters and I had custody of my 2 sons.  It has worked great, no periods (unless months up to it being switched), comfortable, and keeps my hormones where they need to be, constant due to my bipolar.  I am up for my 3rd round in August and wish I could just do it now.  I still use it even though my life partner is cut... just in case!  We have enough.  LOL  Give it a try.  I love it!"


"I have been taking Nortriptyline 25mg for two months. I previously had daily migraines for over a year.  No other treatment options worked. The Nortriptyline works! It prevents the migraine from even starting. You have to be good at remembering to take it. If you miss a dose pain can return. I take it one time in the evening. I have only experienced one side effect and that is that it makes me sleep harder. Doesn't make me sleepy though. I would definitely recommend this med to anyone who suffers with migraines that don't have a deeper cause."


"Have been taking this for 2 weeks, and the positive effects were immediate for me.  I did have some initial side effects such as dry mouth (lasted a few days), and change in bowel movement (getting better ), yawning a lot first 3-5 days, better now.  The impact it has had on me has been nothing but GREAT.  I had a lot of areas of stress in my life from family to work, and the anxiety made me feel my heart was going to jump out of my chest!  Now, those little things don't worry me, and I've been able to let go of personal struggles that were holding me down, including a broken heart!   This has let me be myself again, and most of all to enjoy life again!!"


"Horrible! I was on it for a month, and quit immediately. I have migraine with aura. My neurologist told me a secret behind closed doors cause he was a cool dude. He said get off all the crap and once the aura comes chug two beers and it will disappear no aura no headache. He swore by it and so do I."


"I've been taking this pill for about a month and a half now. I've gotten 3 periods within these past couple of weeks! It's very uncomfortable. Also I've been very emotional like the other girl said all "cry baby like". My mood swings are crazy. I've gained 5 pounds. But I am baby free."


"I've been depressed for about 14 years. I was on Wellbutrin along with Cymbalta. I was doing welI, but sleeping a lot. My NP suggested Trintellix. She weaned me off of Cymbalta and started me on 5 mg of Trintellix for a week, then upped to 10 for 2 weeks, then started on 20mg. I immediately started having terrible mood swings, with anger and irritability. I have since gone back to 10 mg, however,  I cry at the drop of a hat, I have no energy, I have muscle aches and I have a terrible neck ache. My anxiety level has been thru the roof and I have no appetite. I believe this medication has also given me diarrhea. This medication is horrible."


"Bottom line - it works. It will definitely make you quit smoking.   The side-effects are awful, but I guess its a price to pay for prolonging your life a bit.
You MUST eat before taking it, or it sucks.
You need to try to be as stress-free as possible when using. You can't get into any conflicting situations. You might need to rely on a spouse or roomie to wake you up in the morning, or you will sleep like a rock and never acknowledge the alarm clock.
You can have some pretty gnarly dreams while using. You will quit smoking on this pill."


"I started Adipex yesterday morning & I lost 3 lbs when I weighed today. Dry mouth, but water is good anyway. Lots of energy. No appetite. Force myself to eat. Zumba & walking 4 nights a week is my plan. 251 to 248 in a day!!!! What??!! I'm on my way to being healthy & happier! Just turned 36 & I'm excited."


"I'm in Australia ,  only just started this medication a week ago but I feel a less fatigued already. I was stuck in bed most days, but now I can go longer without needing to go to bed or feeling like I'm going to collapse. I haven't noticed any bad side effects yet either which is good! As I get nauseated and dizzy on meds easily and haven't found that to be the case! I just wanted to point out that some people hear a lot of bad things that aren't necessarily reported or true. Like I noticed a woman on here said she needs to stop taking it because of the tinnitus side effect means she might go deaf. But deafness hasn't been reported, just tinnitus as a side effect whilst taking it. Don't be so afraid if it's going to give u your life back"


"After thirty plus years unable to control nocturnal seizures with Dilantin, Tegretol and now, Tegretol XR I now take 500MG of Keppra twice daily plus the XR and am controlled night and day with no noticeable side effects. This has lasted for the last six years. I am very pleased and glad to get rid of those nocturnal seizures with their after effects. The difficult part is the cost of the non-generic, especially as I get older. "


"I went on this BC because my insurance stopped covering Loestrin. So far I am on month 3, and I am trying to stick it out but it has been terrible. I usually get breakouts right before my period, now I have them constantly. I am  constantly depressed and fatigued beyond belief. I also have bloating, gained weight(though I admit there could be other causes as far as the weight is concerned), and I have constant cramping(though it is minor, it is daily and noticeable). I've also had severe migraines and I only just now put it together that the migraines started when I started this pill. Also I am 26,non-smoker and take the pill continuously(no periods)."


"So far it's been a good experience... I've been dealing with skin issues for the past year but it wasn't until this past month when I had my IUD removed that I had a spike in hormones (which you can imagine made my skin go insane.)  My dermatologist prescribed me Duac, Minocycline and Spinoloctane. I have yet to try the two other medications yet because I read reviews that there can be an initial breakout that is horrendous or it can clear up completely in 2 weeks.

However, so far with the Duac my skin has cleared up existing acne but still not preventing new ones from forming. New ones aren't forming as fast as before (2-3) every day but now it's like 1 every 3 days. It's doing a great job. SUPER drying though. Moisturize!"


"I've been on medication like : Remeron, Tegretol, etc for years. I heard about this medicine and asked my doctor and he prescribed it to me (50 mg).
First week..fine, second week.. The worst time of my life. I felt over depressed, my body sore, had panic attacks, felt extremely aggressive. I ended up in hospital, and this great doctor told me that 50 mg is the initial dose but it's not right because this drug is highly concentrated. I nearly had an overdose bcause of the 50 mg! So as the psychiatrist from the hospital told me to take just 25mg, I now feel alive and happy again."


"I have been on Belviq for 3 weeks, twice daily. Most side affects have gone away except I'm still tired a lot. I started @ 244, I'm now at 230. I walk 2 miles most days of the week and I watch my carb intake.  It has greatly reduced my appetite where I almost forget to eat. I drink lots of water and drink a cup of hot green tea at bedtime."


"My mother has cancer. With that she has anxiety. The Dr prescribed her vistaril 25mg. Granted it kinda helps anxiety but it contributes to hallucinations. When I leave her off of it she has anxiety when she takes it, her dreams are vividly real. Weigh your options or decrease dosage but if a loved one is taking this medication before mental diagnosis try replacing or removing this drug for at least 48 hrs."


"So I was on Ginanvi for about 3 months before I switched over to this pill due to the high cost of Ginavi (I don't have insurance). Ginanvi had cleared up my acne in the short time I used and I was hoping this birth control would not mess that up. I was wrong. After 2-3 months of using this pill my skin went crazy with horrible breakouts. Now, 9 months later I still have horrible acne. If you want a pill that helps with acne this is NOT it. It also made my period "weird". I would have little to no period one month and a heavy one the next . The month that I had a heavier flow my boobs would hurt a lot. I also noticed that at the beginning of taking it , I would be moody and extremely irritable all the time . It's time for me to switch."


"This is great. It stops 98% of hot flashes, stops mood swings. Have been taking this for 1 year."


"My 15 year old daughter suffers from severe anxiety and panic attacks, her psychiatrist put her on 10mg of Propranolol once daily as SSRI's weren't helping.  The medication worked well and she felt less anxious within a few days, she did feel she needed a slightly higher dose for really high anxiety provoking situations, however her doctor didn't want to increase her does.  After 1 month of being on medication I noticed she was shedding a lot of hair.  She immediately stopped taking the medication as I knew this was a "rare" side effect.  4 weeks since she has been off she is STILL shedding lots of hair and overall lost about 30% of her hair.  Pray everyday it will stop as it is devastating.  Think twice before taking this med."


"I was almost wheelchair bound, every joint in my body inflamed and lots of pain walking.  Psoriasis was flaring too all over.

The day I took my first shot I could feel the joints loosening and pain lessening.  Within 6 months I was virtually pain free and completely mobile.  2 years now and I am riding my bike 25 miles a day and combined with light treatment my skin is 90% clear."


"Im in my 30 5'6 and my starting weight was 276. In the first month I lost 24 pounds. The second month I lost 8 more. I stopped because I felt like my body was getting accustomed to it. So one month later I went to the doctor to get more pills. I started taking a week ago and I lost 10 more pounds. From the beginning I watch what I ate. I drank water and when I was tired of drinking water I would drink a small bottle of powerade to get some flavor. The doctor told me to be on a 1200 calorie diet but I choose 500 to help the process. I was a size 22 and now I'm between 16 and 18 depending on the clothing. So I lost a total of 45 pounds being actively on the pill for 2 months 1 week. Im happy...can't complain."


"It gave me a headache. It does nothing, no effect at all after use. On top of that it is very expensive for nasal spray and other products cheaper like nasonex does the job very well."


"I did not like it. I tried it for 2 weeks and always woke up at 2.30 am or 3.00am then I couldn't go back to sleep."


"While I was pregnant my breasts didn't grow. I also didn't breastfeed, it's has been 5 months that I had my baby. I stared using Nuvaring 2 MONTHS AGO AND MY Breasts STARTED TO GROW. I WENT FROM A (B) TO A PERFECT (C). I LOVE NUVARING.  I ALSO DON'T GET MOODY."


"I have sleep apnea. Sometimes I wake up feeling like I haven't had any sleep. In a fog so to speak. I have gone to sleep sitting at stoplights on the way to work in the morning. This medication does wonders. I still drink my coffee and it helps to boost the effects. I still get sleepy in the afternoon sometimes but I am able to fight it off much better. Before I couldn't and would go to sleep. It is just too expensive. "


"I've been taking metoprolol for about 12 years now, 1 in the morning and 1 at night for the first 7 years and then dropped it to 1 morning and half at night and for the last 2 years. I've been on half morning and half at night, my heart rate was too low but apart from that I have had no other problems."


"Does not work for me."


"I live in the UK where it is virtually impossible to get Xanax (or any benzodiazepine) so I am very lucky to have found a good doctor to prescribe it. I am 25 years old and the last 14 years of my life were a living hell. I have BPD and a very severe anxiety disorder that left me having multiple daily panic attacks, breakdowns and even suicide attempts. Every doctor told me in the UK we get talking therapy and an SSRI for anxiety, but never benzo's. So I suffered on for years and years until 4 months ago I found a Dr who prescribed me Xanax (Alprazolam) 0.5mg 3 times a day (1mg if needed) and it is a miracle drug to me. For the first time in my life, I live without the constant, crippling anxiety. I HIGHLY recommend this med."


"This drug has helped me for 3 yrs after 3 athroscopic knee surgeries and finally a total replacment ( 5 yr period) getting off the vicoden was horrible! know I have been though 1 neck fusion, 3 back surgeries ending with a fusion. I have sever arthritise in my back. The tramadol helps me to be able to resume my life some what, with out the agonizing pain that I live with. I take 50 mgs 4x a day. I do not feel as if I need my dosage uped after this long. Iseem to do just fine. I can have my grandchilderen, work in my garden, and do genral houshold chores. In general I can continue a fairly normal life."


"Periods recommenced on using this, also got menstrual cramps (which I had before so no huge deal). Lost all sweating symptoms and skin became less dry, although skin is itchy. Other than this I have had no other bad side effects; have been on this medicine now for approximately 6 months."


"I just started taking the pill and 2 and a half weeks in my period started.  It was reg/light flow but the cramps are horrible. I've never had cramps like that and it lasted for six days straight not to mention I'm going on 10 days still bleeding a regular flow and it doesn't look to lighten up anytime soon. I thought it would lighten and shorten periods but I'm having an opposite reaction."


"Been taking januvia 100 mg a day for 12 days and it has just started to work really well
Blood sugar is 6.9 mmol at mid day
Very pleased and I have no side effects
Fortunately in England diabetics get there meds free on nhs"


"I've been taking this medication for a couple years. I no longer obsess over things and am no longer as depressed as I used to be. They seem to keep me in balance with my emotions. I would recommend this to anyone with depression and also compulsive behavior."


"I started Prozac as one of my first anti depressants for MDD

 It made me horribly sick. I was nauseous all day, and wouldn't eat for days at a time. I stayed on it to try and get thorough the side effects but they wouldn't stop, I was throwing up every other day

One day I woke up and I started to violently shake, This lasted for over 12 hours until I ended up in the hospital with Tachycardia.

This was a horrible experience and months later I still have stomach and heart issues, I'm on new medications now, But because of my bad experience I get very anxious when I take them"


"Great stuff. NoDoz really does work. Better than most stuff I've tried. Would definitely recommend."


"My family doctor prescribed Pramipexole for me about 2 years ago after I had been having awful problems with restless legs for a few weeks.  A few weeks after I started this med, I began to do a lot of shopping online, the UPS truck was a daily sight at my home, plus the mailman and another delivery truck.  I was not getting any relief, talked with my doctor who referred me to neurologist.  He asked me first thing, "how's the shopping".  He prescribed generic Sinemet which is not working either.  I have now got arm jerks, some difficulty walking.  What is the answer?"


"While Crestor reduced my cholesterol on the 10 mg dose,  the side effects including foggy thinking, personality change, no pep or enthusiasm, and muscle pains and night gagging sessions and constipation, led me to get my medication changed to Lipitor. With Lipitor I have had no sides effects worth mentioning after 3 months. If I would have had less side effects then I would have been happy to stay on it."


"Effective, but not without side effects. The first month was pretty bad - my hands, feet, and legs were falling asleep and I experienced painful tingling and cramps. My joints also had problems, and I had to wear a brace on my knee for a little while. I was more lethargic. Anything carbonated tasted awful. I couldn't drink caffeine or my whole body would feel weird and tingly. I also had to pee a lot during the first few weeks and was quite thirsty.

Over time, most of the side effects went away, and my pressure went down. My vision problems completely went away. However, a new side effect appeared after about two years - tinnitus. It is definitely being caused by the medicine, because I've found that skipping a dose makes it go away."


"I have struggled with ADD since I was in grade school. Although diagnosed, my mother was not about putting me on medication. That being said I struggled really bad until I graduated. I am now 22 & have been out on almost any ADD/ADHD medication you can think of. To keep it short & sweet, Concerta & focalin worked for about an hour then I turned into a horrible person to be around - extreme mood swings, aggression, agitation, really easily annoyed, & hostile. My doctor decided to put me on Adderall XR 10mg tablets & let me tell you it has saved my life!!!!!! It lasts all day for me, I am more focused, my heart rate doesn't jump to extremes like it did on Focalin. It actually makes me more relaxed & enjoyable to be around. 10/10"


"Took this medication after regular Amoxicillin did not work for my otitis media with effusion. Worked well except for the fact that it gave me severe diarrhea if taken within a span of 2 hours of ingesting food, so it was very inconvenient when you are working/out of the house. Never heard of this before in fact they recommend you take it with food. I just took it outside of that range of time."


"Have been on Victoza for 6  weeks at this time, at the 1.2 dosage.  Experienced the nausea, however, it has subsided, no noticeable headaches, definitely lowered by blood sugars, morning and night times.  Have lost 22 lbs so far.  Am expecting to move up to the 1.8 after
2 months.  I don't miss the food, and definitely don't miss the weight."


"This drug gave me back my life. I suffered with chronic cyclical arthritis that felt like it was in every joint. The fatigue was devastating. Even if I slept for hours I still woke up feeling no better. I was scared to take this drug but eventually I had to do something. Thankfully, I have no side effects. I only have very occasional arthritis and am no longer tired. It has given me back my life. I do have my eyes checked 2x/yr."


"Hi

To all those that gave up before 6 weeks, didn't give it a fair chance. My first 6 weeks were hell. I wanted to die. The doc saud my body is adjusting and to give it time. My first two weeks... nausea, no appetite, felt high. I lived on crackers and ginger ale. Remember you need to titrate up. About the time I went to full dose,  experienced the most horrible migraine I ever had. My vein on the side of my temple was bulging out and beating hard and my bp went to 145 over 85 which is high for me. This was the weekend, I asked the pharmacist, he said atop it and talk to doc. I had an appt that monday. She told me to start titration again.  Well I did felt perfect. Been on for 14 months doing great.  Give it a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"today is day 7 of using chantix. I'm a 33 year old disabled army vet. I have bi-polar, depression, PTSD, borderline personality disorder and I have been smoking for 20 years. I have tried everything to quit smoking, patches made me want to smoke more, the gum made my stomach feel like it was on fire and cold turkey made me homicidal. On day one I was smoking a pack a day. by day 4 I was smoking 1/2 a pack now I smoke about 3 cigarettes a day, but only a 1/2 a cigarette at a time. I have no nausea, no sleep issues, and no other side effects that I have noticed. I just seem to be be craving cigarettes less and less. I'm really hoping that within a few more days  wont smoke at all."


"I've been on this pill for about 3 years. I got on it because I've had horrible cramps, and heavy bleeding on my period. I only have a period for 2 days, I get mild cramps now. The only side effect I had other than the period was that I had gained a few pounds. I would recommend this pill to anyone."


"After 6 years of different meds that never worked I was put on 20mg of latuda. Didn't do anything, didn't work at all. Doc upped it to 40mg. Taking 40mg gave me maybe 3 weeks of terrible headaches and nausea. Then one morning I woke up and actually felt good, well rested, clear-headed...was such a strange feeling to me. Then I turned on some music and I actually FELT music again, I started dancing around while getting ready. Started reaching out socially, started exercising, and started actually taking a shower every morning again! I can not express in words how good and normal I feel, I actually feel things again. Latuda did a 180 degree change on my life, thanks to the researchers who created this drug, you guys are amazing!"


"25 yr old, female. I've been taking 20 mg for 2 weeks now. Only side effect was insomnia so I started taking it in the morning. Maybe a loss in sex drive? No other side effects though. It hasn't kicked in yet."


"I took 2 250mg total 500mg was that enough to clear it"


"Oxytrol seems to be the best medication for me. I have only tried one other for the overactive bladder.  However, this was the best medication due to the side effects, which were basically unnoticed."


"I have only been taking 1 pill 3x a day instead of 2 3x a day, and only on the worst days as soon as it's bad, which in turn caused it to shorten my cycle and definitely the huge clots were gone - what a relief!  I also take iron because of being tired.  Prior to trying this medicine, I had an endometrial ablation which failed and none of the birth control pills helped either.  My only recourse if this stops working is a hysterectomy.  I wish my menopause would start already, I'm done having children and have been having hot flashes for over 5 years now!"


"I'm on day 8 with Chantix.  Smoked a pack a day for 25 years.  I haven't really noticed a huge change yet.  No nausea, no crazy dreams, no mood changes.  Cigarettes are starting to taste a little funny, and sometimes I'll light up and not want to smoke the whole thing.  I guess I'm just waiting for the big bang!  We'll see, this is only the first day of my second week with the tiny blue pill.  I'm sort of jealous of the posts I'm reading from people who said they stopped smoking on the 3 and 5 day.  I'll give it some time.  Day 9 is tomorrow."


"I really like this birth control. I was originally on a different brand of the pill and it made me bloated and I alway felt slugish. I switched to the nuva ring which was not ideal for intercourse so back to my OB I went. I love Lessina no weight gain, no bloating, and minimal cramping during period. I did have side affect of acne but I changed my face wash and it cleared right up. I also swear it increases your sex drive but it could just be me."


"I took 1 and a quarter of a 10mg Propranolol an hour before my speech and gave a 1.5 hour speech with no issues. I'm 5' 1" 125lbs. I normally have a high heart rate, sweat and have trouble breathing during speeches or interviews. This is a miracle drug that eliminated my performance anxiety. I will definitely start taking this before any presentations in the future."

"I've been using Estrace 1 mg 2x week for around 9-10 years.  It does help with the dryness, itching, burning symptoms but I've had two bladder infections.  I can't help but wonder if having to REUSE the applicator (and maybe not being able to wash it properly or having leftover soap on it?) is the cause.  I hope to find a good source for disposable applicators so I can feel safer using this medicine."


"My 10 yr old daughter was put on low dose (20mg) of Vyvanse for ADHD.  Her ADHD was severely affecting her school work.  Positive:  immediately teachers and I noticed she could focus, sit more still, and initiate her own homework, etc...  But it's the NEGATIVE side affects that seriously concerned me.  She went from a cheerful, joyous girl, to a melancholy zombie.  Even worse, she became more and more depressed & irritable at night.  She said she felt like she lost all personality and had a sadness that she didn't understand why.  I can not emphasize enough how scary it was to see her whole personality change, and that was not worth any benefits.she got out of Vyvanse. Other side effects:  loss of appetite, joint/muscle pain, mouth twitch."


"This is a great product. I am 63 and have been using Cialis off and on for around 3 years. No side effects at all. I take blood pressure pills and cholesterol pills. Half a tablet can last me 2 days."


"I am a 43 year old male. I recently was diagnosed with high blood pressure 190/104. My doctor started me on 5mg per day for the first month. Raised it to 10mg per day on the 2nd month and 20mg per day on the 3rd month. Recently I started having random and uncontrollable bouts of diarrhea. I am also tired all the time with low energy levels. I am an Electrical contractor, before I started taking this medicine, I was a high energy, multi-tasker. Now, although my blood pressure is under control, I am tired most of the time and at times I can't seem to think clearly enough to perform the complex logical tasks that my job requires. The Diarrhea is sometimes UNCONTROLLABLE."


"I began taking Effexor after coming off of Paxil. I did not like the weight gain and sexual side effects from the Paxil. The Effexor does not do either of those to me even though I have heard some people complain about it. It has also vastly improved my mood and depression. I have been using it combined with Depakote for the past few months and I feel much better then I have in years. My current dose is 150mg a day."


"My GI doc finally gave me some samples of Linzess (290). I have taken it the past two evenings with food at her direction. While I have gotten some relief from my IBS-C, it's been uncomfortable to say the least. I take the med around 7:00 when I finish dinner, and by 10:30 I'm starting all-night, multiple trips to the bathroom. Explosive, watery diarrhea, loud and almost constant gurgling in my stomach, and my bottom is so raw that I can barely sit down. I still don't feel totally cleaned out. I can't keep up this pattern - getting less than 3 hours of sleep a night (I have a stressful job and can't afford to be this tired!), and I don't dare take it in the mornings because I wouldn't be able to work at all!"


"I didn't care for all aubra. I had headaches very often, even more so when it got close to my period. I never had headaches prior to Aubra. I had really bad anxiety...my heart would start pounding at random times for no reason....I would get extremely depressed and or really angry when it got close to my period....my eyes got super dry and my contacts were painful to wear..... And recently got off of it, for about 2 months now and I have a lot of side effects from quitting it as well. Wished I would have never used it to begin with."


"My period would come and a week later it would happen again for two weeks. I have been on Mononessa for a week and my period is finally under control after years of misery."


"I have been on Eliquis 5 months for a saddle pulmonary Embolism in November, unable to breath, chest pressure, exhaustion and was treated finally by Eliquis. However after three and a half months I have been loosing hair at a rapid rate. Feeling better however the hair loss and swollen legs and insomnia are extremely disheartening and scary. I hope I will get my hair back after treatment and legs will not swell any longer. Hoping someone else has the same experience and can offer me consolation. thank you"


"It has been very helpful in controlling my UC.  I have been taking it since my last episode along with prednisone and it has been a life saver.  I have had no really side effects except extra secretion of saliva, but I am starting to feel much better since starting these medicines."


"I am 20 years old and generally eat well and maintain an active lifestyle. I started using Loestrin 24 FE in April to deal with excessively heavy and irregular periods that started being a problem in January. In the three cycles that I've been on it, I have gotten my period 6 times with irregular spotting in between, so it is not at all having the effects I was hoping for. Another complaint is that I've gone from 130 lbs to 140 lbs with no significant changes in diet or activity."


"I was put on Sprintec a month ago to help regulate my peroid and help with the severe cramps. In the last month I have had a loss of appetite, lack of energy, two UTI's, a yeast infection, and severe cramps. "


"Have been on a cocktail of Prozac, Wellbutrin, and Cymbalta for several years for both depression, anxiety, and chronic back pain with GREAT success. Just recently I started to notice I was becoming very short tempered, easily aggravated, and irritable. My Psych gave me .5 mg of Ativan, but also decided to wean me off my Cymbalta 60 mg. The Ativan helped me immensely. Unfortunately,within 2 weeks without my Cymbalta my depression returned, I was sleeping all the time, and worst of all I felt like I could eat everything in the kitchen and still be hungry! Gained weight so quickly,and had no ambition whatsoever. I am now on my 3rd week back on Cymbalta and feeling almost back to normal thankfully! When you find what works for you, stick with it!"


"I am 48 year old women in good health. I did not notice a difference at all. The only side effects I had were some tiredness and loss of appetite. Good luck."


"I used Chantix and completely quit on the 6th day and have not looked back.  That was 3.5 years ago.  I do think Chantix can be dangerous, on the other hand, what could be worse than lung cancer, COPD and the any number of illnesses caused by smoking.  My only side effect was fatigue for the first 2 weeks.  My doctor wanted me to stay on Chantix for 6 months, which I did.  And he had me wean off the over a 6 week period.  I was a heavy smoker - at least a pack a day."


"My face has totally broken out and I never Breakout!  Blood sugar still high. Dropped it just a free points. I would rather take a shot everyday that truly lowered it."


"I didn't mind my acne too much, but it got really annoying when my parents were complaining about it over time. I tried to reduce the amount of acne. I've tried several over the counter products, some worked, some didn't. Sadly, I did have an increased breakout after using Ortho Tri-Cyclen. Then I went to my doctor. First, I've tried Clindoxyl, then Benzoyl peroxide (0.1%/2.5% w/w). Worked fine, but results did not last too long. Then I was on tetracycline for a few months. It worked, for awhile, then I had an increased breakout.
Finally, I got on Accutane. I was really reluctant to be on Accutane because of its side effects, especially when my doctor highlighted suicidal thoughts, and decreased night vision. But after four months, I'm currently happy with the results!"


"I was skeptical about anti-depressants for a long time and decided to take them only as a last resort. I've been on 200mg of Zoloft for about 6 months now and the results are fantastic. I've had a tremendous improvement in mood, energy, and all around motivation to get up in the morning. I have also had zero side effects. Unless something changes I will continue to take this medication and recommend it to others as well."


"Ladies do not give up, I have been searching for a year for something to heal my cystic jawline acne and chin and literally my skin was so disgusting I stopped being social because my self esteem was at the lowest it's ever been- let me tell you though- my dermatologist prescribed trinessa bc for my acne and at first it did nothing but make it worse and I felt hopeless but BY THE END OF THE THIRD MONTH oh my god! It was like a miracle!! My skin is glowing and I can say give it time because this really does work by month 3/4 you should see results  up to 6 months but patience is key. I am so happy and I will never try anything else. All I use now for my skin care regimens is cetaphil for oily skin cleanser, and olay hydrating lotion."


"Great medication, takes away alcohol cravings and you can still drink socially, easy to stop after a binge, at 150mg/day adjust according to needs."


"I took the plan b pill the morning after. Was my first time taking it. I was ovulating. We didn't use a condom but he pulled out. First day, I was a little tired at the end of the day. Second day, a little diarrhea. Nothing more until now it's day 6 and I've started cramping and my near my right ovary is hurting a little. Nothing bad. I can't say it worked just yet but I can say that I didn't have any drastic symptoms. The symptoms you have depend on how your body reacts to the high dosage of hormone. I'm sure it also has to do with if the pill actually had anything to flush out of your body or not."


"HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!! Once I got it in, everything changed for me. I was in the process of getting married, stressed, and MOODY! I thought it was from planning a destination wedding. Boy, was I wrong. After a year of having it in and about losing my marriage from my excessive bitchiness due to this implant, I had enough. Removed it and I am a totally different person!"


"I was apprehensive about trying Zoloft, but I wanted to share my experience. I started taking Zoloft 2 weeks ago primarily for major depression. When I'm less depressed I also suffer from social anxiety disorder.

I took 25mg for the first 4 days, then upped to 50mg. First few days on 25mg I had moments of feeling very spaced out. When I increased the dose to 50mg, I had a few days of nausea, diarrhoea and again felt quite spaced out, but after 4 or so days this stopped. I also experienced a few waves of anxiety, but this has since disappeared.

2 weeks in, and I'm feeling better. Not all the way there, but I feel more stable. Less hopeless, more in control. Calmer. I'm starting to feel like myself again."


"The dose in the morning is effective for my pain but during the day when it wears off following doses are not very effective."


"Was extremely constipated for about a week decided to take ducolax because I was desperate. Took 2 about 9:00 this morning with water didn't feel anything until about 3:00 I started having bad cramps so I went to the bathroom could only relieve myself of a few hard pieces this is how it was for hours with the pain getting worse and worse with nausea sweating dizziness I kept thinking I was going to faint so I took one more pill because I thought I was too constipated and it wasn't working that was a bad idea layed in the fetal position crying due to the pain.. around 7 I finally had a bm (diarreah) and again at 920 but I'm still cramping bad and I'm completely cleaned out but am sitting on the toilet because I'm in pain"


"Much better than Preparation H or any other type of Hemorrhoid Cream"


"My daughter started this medication about 3 months ago. Her grades and reading levels have soared and we don't have as much trouble getting her to concentrate on homework but when it comes time for bed, she's a handful and irritable still when confronted with certain tasks to be done like chores. I am not going to consider another medication on top of this but will instead consider a behavior intervention."


"This medication  has changed my life and probably saved my marriage. I can think clearly function effectively and my anxiety is controlled. I can now enjoy all the things I used to . I have had depression and anxiety for most of my life , I am on 50 mg at the moment which seems to suit me perfectly. But there is scope to increase if necessary."


"I have Bipolar, most the time being on Seroquel has helped settle my racing thoughts, helps me sleep at night, and helps me regulate my moods. At times I still get the highs and lows but not as severe without Seroquel. The side effects that I get is dry mouth, dry skin, increased appetite and High Cholestrol. Most of the time this medication helps me out."


"I really want to get off this drug I never get headaches but since taking this drug I have been getting them, severe heartburn and nausea, overall feeling really bad every day. Had the worst anxiety attack I have ever had scared the hell out of me. I have never felt so hopeless, worst drug I have ever used never again."


"So far, I'm very happy as my nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and anxiety have subsided. Not much relief from depression yet on day 5, but understand it takes time. It does make my tongue numb for a bit after I take it and I've had vivid dreams every night on it."


"Hate this medication.  I've been on it so far for 4 days, and it makes me feel stoned/drunk, and takes away my ability to focus and concentrate. I can't wait to get off of it.  Everyone reacts differently to medication, and I hope, other people don't have to go through the same side effects as I am currently battling."


"The only RX that treats my acne immediately and empties my pores of all impurities. When I skip a few weeks of using my acne comes back. It does make your skin itch a little when you first put it on but it goes away as you sleep. People experiencing burning and redness (stay out of the direct sun light and no sun lamps!!) only use once a day or less! This stuff truly does work like a miracle on my skin. Sucks my insurance never wants to cover it!"


"Surprisingly, good. I took a 10mg tablet and 20 min later I was performing at my peak. Felt bigger and stronger and didn't experience the headaches that I had with the others. It also seemed to still be in my system a day or so later."


"I took this medication for about a year. Felt severely depressed. Retained fluid. Switched medical insurance which resulted in my seeing another doctor. He changed me from Tenormin to Accupril. After one month, my world changed. No longer hated to get out of the bed each morning. Could now wear my wedding band on my ring finger.
Tenormin was the wrong medicine for me. Wrote a letter to my prior doctor to let her know of my experience."


"Love it."


"The first time I had the implanon every day for 4 month I have bleed. I was a horrible experience. After that, I had it taken out. This is when I ended up pregnant with my son. After he was born I got on to the implanon again. This time I had my period every 4 months. Slowly over time is disappeared. When the term of the implanon was up I had it removed. My period has been back normal, but I have been trying to get pregnant for the last three years.I don't know if its the implanon that has effected my chance of pregnancy."


"Fabulous drug. Never used anything like this before. Have had erections any 19 year old would be proud of.

Side effects:- girlfriend that wanted sex now says enough. Along with some slight headaches, nasal congestion and flushing of the face. All well worth the results."


"I was on Effexor for almost 2 years starting on the lowest dose til I was just about on the highest - then my doctor decided to try something else as this one wasn't working anymore - I was really hard work coming off them"


"It does the job, obviously--I haven't been pregnant. But I have mood swings like I've never had before, I get anxious and/or depressed. Most despressingly, my sex drive has all but disappeared. Sex is uncomfortable, sometimes painful, and I seem incapable to naturally lubricate. I used to be able to have sex everyday if I wanted to and orgasm almost every time--not now."


"I'm on my fourth day of this medicine for strep throat and my throat is in unbearable pain still. It really has not done anything for me. Horrible and would not recommend using."


"I have used Soma off and on for many years and never have I been addicted to it or had any withdrawal symptoms!  Even after using it for a year or more!  When I felt I no longer needed it I stopped the medication with no ill effects! It does work well for muscle spasms and aches.  "


"It definitely helped my cough but I did have some minor stomach problems with it and I did feel kind of light-headed at times. Not like I was going to be dizzy or pass out but just kind of odd."


"Started off using Keppra with Tegretol, and at the regular 500mg dose per day. Later upped to 1000MG per day. Once they removed my Tegretol dose, I began to have violent seizures.

Now I have Tegretol back and my dosage of Keppra was doubled again. Now at 2000mg per day. I'm now depressed, tired, nauseated, and don't really want to eat at all.

I'll have to talk to my doctor about changing my medication."


"I am on 50mg of trazodone. I take as needed for sleep. I have always been an anxious person however the past six months I have had a lot of life changing events happen to me. I was put on 20mg of Lexapro, that helped with the anxiety however I could not sleep. I was given trazodone and it works great, I find when I am extremely anxious iit is not as effective. The only side effect I have is that I have very vivid dreams, I have always been the type that would have vivid dreams but the dreams I have when I am one trazodone are intense. When I wake up in the morning I sometimes contact the person I was dreaming about to see if it was real or just a dream. Doesn't bother me though."


"I just started taking Victoza on 10/18/11 and the morning after taking it I was sick, vomiting several times and the nausea stayed around for a long time. Had me scared to take the second injection. I started with 0.6 and am worried if this is how I feel on the small dose, how will I feel if I ever get on the 1.8 dosage. I see that a lot of people have experienced nausea but haven't read anyone mention that they actually vomited. I feel weak from hardly eating in three days and have only taken two injections thus far. I really want this to work for me. I was prescribed Phenergen 25 mg for nausea and vomiting. Hope I'll have something better to report soon."


"It worked the best."


"Helped a lot. Made it a lot easier to urinate but still not a strong stream and I still have trouble fully emptying my bladder at night. Caused a lot of hair loss on my body and I no longer ejaculate anything. Sex drive is also down. I still get up 8 times at night to urinate. Doctor has not been able to help with that."


"I've been on this pill for years and I'm finally starting to question whether my mood swings and irritability are caused by the pill or just my personality. As others have said.. It causes heavy discharge in between periods and I still get severe cramps. I'm going to stop taking it to see if my mood improves"


"I am 57 with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia. Was having problems urinating and have been on Flomax 1 yr., after several weeks problem pretty much gone. Side effects are stuffy nose and a reduction in semen volume. All in all am pleased with it."


"I took this b4 when I had open heart. Worked very well. Now I have just finished my 5th hip surgery and the Vics 5 a day dont help much. This 15mg makes me really tired. "


"I took lisinopril for approximately two years. I developed a violent cough that would not go away. I took over the counter medications for allergies and the cough. It did not help. Finally I went to the emergency room and was prescribed other medications. This didn't help. Finally I had a heart to heart talk with my primary care physician. He took me off the lisinopril and within a week the cough subsided and went away. "


"My 90 yr old mother who has dementia takes 0.5mg before bed and helped the first night and continues. Also takes 0.5mg in morning. Aggressive and anxiety behavior from dementia "sundowning" have decreased."


"Lost 85lbs in under a year. Gained it all back as soon as I stopped taking it. "


"Simponi did not work for me.  Tried it three months, and it made all the bleeding, cramping and diarrhea worse.  I really wanted it to work for me...but it didn't. And Jannssen was NO help...called it "side effects," when it was "exacerbation of symptoms."

Best wishes if you take it...I hope you find success with it.  :)"


"Restasis SINGLE-DOSE was quite effective and easy to use for my dry eye condition after having intra-ocular lens implant 6-1/2 years ago. I switched to RESTASIS MUTI-DOSE for convenience. But, because of the viscosity/thickness of the MULTI-DOSE liquid it is nearly impossible to dispense.  My hand goes into a spasm trying to squeeze just 1 droplet out. Even my big strong husband has struggles with the bottle. Allergan put too much castor oil and glycerin in the MULTI-DOSE formula. I called Express Scripts pharmacist and was advised to throw out the bottle and try a new one, thinking it was faulty.  New one was just as bad."


"This medication has really helped my seizures plus my migraines. It is really convenient because I have both problems and I don't have to take two medications for both problems. Topamax is great."


"For three months I suffered from debilitating nausea (without vomiting).  I couldn't get out of bed because I constantly felt like I was going to vomit.  It was absolutely horrible and I could not figure out what was wrong with me.  I've always been an anxious/stressed out person but never thought that it was out of the ordinary.  Finally my family forced me to go to the doctor and she told me that because of my upcoming life events (getting married, starting a new career, moving out) and because of my Type A personality, it's likely I have a slight chemical imbalance in my brain which could be causing my extreme nausea.  I was so reluctant to take the sertraline, but am SO glad that I did!  My nausea is GONE and I can live life again!"


"I have been using Nexplanon for almost a year and aside from a few side effects such a sleepiness and breakouts in my face I love it. My gynecologist recommended Nexplanon for me due to me having such heavy periods and long lasting periods. I was going through a pad every hour non stop for over a week. It was fully covered by my insurance so I said what the hell got nothing to lose. The insertion process was easy but was quite sore afterwards for a few days. I tried so many other birth controls hated them all and they made me sick. I had a little bit a spotting from time to time for first few months and no I never have a period which I love. I barely notice it in my arm
 Highly recommend to woman having long heavy periods."


"I'm a 15 year old girl and have been taking 18 mg in the morning for 4 days now and 0.1mg of clonidine at night. I had a mild, lingering headache the first day, was able to focus a little more on songs I was working on the 2nd day, lost emotion and had to fake laughing and smiling with my friend the next day, and today I was able to focus a little more than usual and get some vocabulary words done. I'm more motivated, but my attention span isn't improved much. Also, I can sit still. My psychologist doesn't think I'm hyperactive but my usual constantly-moving legs and fidgety hands are still.  I'll have to give it more time to work, and increase the dosage once my body is used to it, but I think it's doing okay for only 4 days on a low dose."


"To Nick. Please do not quit taking Citalopram. Keep taking it at 20mg and ensure you do relaxation exercises along with CBT and the symptoms will ease"


"My story is really long and complicated. I was originally on Xanax and all it did was make me sleep. Switched doctors because my original doctor wouldn't switch me off the Xanax. New doctor prescribed me Lexapro. I was upset at first because I didn't feel I needed it, I thought Lexapro was an anti-depressant and I wasn't depressed.. About a month after I started taking the Lexapro I felt amazing! But then I lost my health insurance so they put me on Paxil. I miss my Lexapro! It was the best."


"I cut my finger working on my car, It was a very dirty wound that required stitches and I was given Clindamycin in order to prevent infection.  I do not remember any specific warning about the increased chance of any type of intestinal problems associated with this antibiotic.  The Clindamycin caused me to get a C Diff infection that sent me to the ER.  Very painful and passing mucus and blood in the stool.  I have never experienced anything like this before.  I will never take this drug again and suggest doing research before taking this or any other antibiotic.  The problems seem to be clearing up after a course of Flagyl  and Cipro.  More antibiotics to fix the others side effects.  Good luck to anyone suffering from this."


"I was prescribed Tenuate extended-release tabs because of my caffeine sensitivity.  Of course, I noticed a change but not the jittery/shaky feeling that comes with harsh stimulants.  My side effects included nausea, constipation, blurred vision (which I didn't associate to the meds). I lost 15 pounds over a three month period including the winter holiday period but noticed after that I was not losing anymore.  Two months later and a 6 lb weight gain, I've decided to stop taking the meds.  Immediately, I noticed extreme exhaustion and an inability to get going."


"Just started on Prezcobix.  My Dr. moved me off of Isentress because it was causing me joint pain.  Usually I've done really well on my HIV meds. Been taking them since 1996.  Just getting started on this one though.  They are large, but sort of flat so somewhat easy to swallow.  Just pay attention to how you swallow them.  No side effects while first starting, so I was glad of that.  I'll do another review after I've been on it for more than 7 months to a year.  Thanks"


"Most effective medicine I've had so far. Unfortunately, had to stop taking due to kidney effects."


"Just started taking Arthotec, but I can tell a difference already.  I have less pain.  I also feel very hungry and nauseous.  I've had a little dizziness too."


"I've found DEMEROL given through IM and IV, to be one of the MOST effective narcotic "PAIN RELIEVERS" given to me after a very traumatic accident and a broken neck"


"I used it again after my second cataract surgery. I had no pain/burning/staining, but I used it REGULARLY as directed. ALWAYS wash hands thoroughly before each administration. Just hard to imagine eye surgery without this medication."


"I have been suffering for years with my lower back and degeneration disease in lower back. I have been on everything imaginable from Lortabs to Roxicodone. Today I was given 100mg Demerol along with Lortab 10's. I feel like I'm living now instead of just existing!"


"Excellent!"


"Some people have commented that their insurance does not cover this medication. I used to have medicare but don't anymore. I went to the Forest Pharmaceutical website where I applied for their patient assistance program. I qualified for the medication for free. You have to go through your doctor and you have to re-apply every 3 months but it is worth it! I was so afraid I would have to stop working, because Savella was working so well for me, I did not want to quit using it. Your doctor probably has some samples you can take while you are waiting for approval from Forest Pharmaceuticals."


"I have mixed feelings about this.. the first night I took it, it took about 1 and a half hours to kick in, and when it did my husband said I was acting like I was seriously drunk...which I remember very little of. I do remember it making me crazy itchy, and feeling like my skin was crawling. But, once I got in to bed, I knocked out and slept great and felt great in the morning. However, I took it last night around 930pm, and was up ALL night... I have to be up at 445a for work, and I fell asleep about 330 and just now feel like it's effects are kicking in. I may end up leaving work early because I feel so awful and tired. I dont know that I will take this again."


"Byetta is my life saver. It not only lowered my blood sugar levels but has helped me lose weight with only mild side effects (nausea). I have lost 28 pounds in three months and my appetite it way less than it used to be. It is expensive but as they say you get what you pay for."


"I started taking Sprintec to avoid pregnancy and regulate my periods. I finished 2 packs already and I just started my third this week. I started the pack two weeks after my period and I did get my period 2 weeks late but it was super heavy the first two days and I have really bad cramps. I got my period late again last month but that was my fault for not keeping up with my pills and my period wasn't as bad this time. It's the third month and now I noticed that I gained weight but not a dramatic amount and I have gone up a size in my bra cup and my underwear and jeans. I do tend to get moodier than what I used to but it's not as dramatic. That's only been about 3x. My sex drive has not changed. It might have even increased a bit. I'm 19."


"When I first got Paragard my periods were very heavy for the first 9 months and they lasted 9 days! Now, I've had my birthcontrol for 1 year and 2 months and my periods last 5-6 days and are moderate! Also, I had mild cramping in the beginning and now I have no cramping at all! :D

I LOVE PARAGARD. The only birthcontrol that works for me and HORMONE-FREE!"


"I started out taking 8 Vicodins a day and after awhile I was a full blown addict taking up to 15 pills every 5 hrs a day close to 50 a day, really bad could not do anything without pills. Started getting really sick every two weeks skin turning yellow liver was hurting I was in very bad shape sex drive was gone my whole life was based around pain pills spending up to $500.00 every 3 days you get the point. Then one day I found out about Suboxone, made an appointment with a doctor that prescribed it, waited 2 days to take it and let me tell you it saved my life. "


"I have chronic autoimmune hepatitis and have been taking Imuran for four years. It has prevented further flare ups (which I have taken as much as a year to recover from) it enables me to live my life feeling well with mild side effects (some nausea)."


"I have a regular cycle with no spotting. I did have some weight gain in the belly area but it helps with pimples and my PMS is better. I would recommend this pill."
