"I wouldn't normally give feedback but I think it's really important for women to know the possible side effects. I was on Yaz for 6 months and I started to get chest (heart) pain. The chest pain became more frequent and severe, so I went to my Doctor to get their opinion. My Doctor said there is a chance that the Pill (especially Yaz, because of the hormones it uses) can cause clotting of the blood, which can then lodge in various places in the body. I was told to go to Emergency if my leg started to swell, which it did. The pain went away gradually after I stopped Yaz, but I really believe it would've been a serious problem if I kept taking it. Please be careful when taking it, you're better not to take it if you have these symptoms."


"Started taking after spinal fusion constant muscle spasms with any activity. Can bite off a piece when needed never increased dosage in 10 years. People with addictive personality can get hooked on anything its just in there DNA. This drug helped me work much longer than I could have without it."


"I had high cholesterol for 2 plus years. After less than 2 months on Atorvastatin, my cholesterol is normal. I have had side effects, headaches and muscles aching,  but the Atorvastatin works, and worked very quickly for me. Great medication!"


"Had my derma check up for my moderate acne on cheek and chin and she prescribed me this (Adapalene) Differin Gel 0.3. For the first week I saw a little improvement on my cheek as the tiny pimples somehow disappear. By the way I have some cystic acne on cheek and chin. For the following weeks   as I saw the improvement, suddenly came the breakouts on my 4th month. Hoping this is the breakout I've read before the clearing process of the medication. Is anybody here that had the same situation before?"


"Highly negative experience. Was treated for migraines with this medication, however I ended up with severe depression and suicidal behaviours. It became so bad I could not be left in our house alone. I had muscle atrophy and injured myself just from trying to walk. One broken foot and 3 back injuries. Worst medication I have ever taken; it almost killed me."


"Cymbalta seems to me like a "miracle" in ridding me of fibromyalgia pain. I have had fibro symptoms of varying severity for over 30 years (I am 58), and I have never found lasting relief, except for one year when I did not work, studied massage therapy, and got massages several times a week. Recently, severe pain returned in my hips which prevented me from sleeping. My doctor subscribed the generic version of Cymbalta (duloxetine), and within a few days the pain was greatly reduced. When increased to 60mg a week later, the pain went completely away."


"My dermatologist gave me Acanya to use in the mornings. My acned improved a little in the beginning but then returned/got worse. It works differently for different people."


"I love this medicine. When I was first given it I read a bunch of feedback online and was super nervous about taking it. This is the only medicine that has worked for me in the last ten years. I feel better, I sleep better, my body doesn't hurt so much, I love to actually live life now."


"I'm simply amazed at how well this med has worked at controlling my glucose levels.

It has gotten my daily glucose readings, as well as my A1c, down to the point where my doc is concerned about hypoglycemia, and may start to reduce, or possible eliminate, one of my other diabetes meds.

Couldn't be happier."


"I was given this pill because I was having my period for a full month and breaking out badly. I've always had these problems and other brands of birth control wouldn't work for me. I took this and my period went back to normal right away. My skin has gotten absolutely amazing. I used to try every single thing I could to cure my acne. When I got on this pill my skin completely cleared. When I do get a pimple, it'll only be one and it'll very small. I couldn't be happier with this birth control. Me and my partner have had slipups and I haven't gotten pregnant."


"The acidophilus with pectin radiace and digestive ......I read reviews on other sites and decided to try this product it great with digestion and yeast I give it a 100% rating

NO MORE YEAST WITH THIS .a,hundred capsule u take it weeks before to help fight off yeast inflection.and week after.Im glad of the reviews that are true so I give a raring thats a sure go .ive used this product and still is a good one.."


"I was utterly shattered and didn't know what to do before I started this drug. I had bone crushing chronic fatigue and felt I had tried everything. I was so tired for so long I was planning on ending my life. I am on 50mg and it has made a huge difference. I have very little fatigue now, I still have some problems with anxiety an depression but I always had those. Overall I am much better on the drug. I had tried other stimulants like Concerta, Ritalin and Provigil before with little effect. If you are suffering from chronic fatigue please give lisdexamphetamine a try as it can make a big difference."


"I first started this birth control two years ago when I became sexually active. Children are not in my near future. Trinessa has been nothing but good for me! No bad side effects at all. I am a healthy 19 year old female and would recommend this drug to any woman who is looking to protect themselves."


"My main complaint is that the inhaler seems to be empty before the 200 puffs are used. It seems to help well for the first 150 to 175 puffs, then stops feeling effective. I carefully following how to use it & don't know why I am not getting the right dosage throughout."


"I've just switched to Klonopin from being on Xanax for almost 11 years. It worked WONDERS for me. I never abused it and take it responsibly, but I did develop a tolerance to it after so long on it. One of the best things about Xanax is that it kicks in pretty quickly, which is a must for panic attacks. It's very hard for me to let Xanax go because it's the only thing that really worked for my anxiety and panic attacks."


"Iam in remission from Stage Four Esophegial Cancer and was given every pain pill under the sun. They said there would be no problem coming off of them so long as I didn't abuse them. Well I can say this I took the least amount of pain medicines to function and my body still was physically addicted to them even though mentally I didn't crave them. It has been two days now since I started taking Suboxone and I just dumped the liquid oxycodone down the sink. No withdrawals at all, no sweating, no vomiting. Nothing but blue skies. I was skeptical of this for three months what a waist of time. I wish all doctors could prescribe this then it wouldn't have taken me three months to work through a resentment at the only doctor in the area that could prescribe it."


"VERY MIXED RESULTS. Had a severe attack of shingles on the face and scalp (3 weeks in most of the hair on one side of my head was literally gone). I refused morphine (in hindsight, I should have taken it) but I did take Percocet which helped the internal pain but not the nerve pain in the skin. For that they gave me Neurontin, but I could not tolerate it due to extreme drowsiness, loss of appetite, loss of concentration and dry mouth (before I could chew food it was too dry to swallow it). Tried Lyrica 75mg 3 times daily. First dose seemed to really work but effect declined significantly so that the fifth dose had no effect.  During the fourth week he increased to 100mg 3 times daily. Second dose helped then effects declined."


"I have been on (2mg) Alprazolam for about 6 months now and I cannot say how much better my quality of life is. No more anxiety and no more sleepless nights. Thank you!"


"Holy mother. Dying right now. I had moderate swelling and itching from the YI, placed this in at night time. The next time I had a bowel movement the evil egg started to ooze out. My vagina has swollen AT LEAST twice it's size. I feel like I'm being chemically burned. Goopy, which is fine - who cares...but the BURN AND THE SWELLING. I feel like this is worse than my YI. I just finished rocking back and forth naked, on all fours, on my bathroom floor. Prepare yourselves ladies."


"I like the weekly.  The only thing I would say I don't like is every now and then I notice I smell like bad chemicals.  But when I would start a new pack the smell would go away.  I think it maybe due to the freshness of the pills.  It may happen 2 times a year or so."


"So I will say that Beyaz has served its course. I've been on it for a little over a year and can only offer 2 pros. Pros: it stopped my period, it prevented pregnancy. Cons: the mood swings are terrible, I am always irritated, every little thing bothers me, I am so rude to my husband. Not to mention, I cry at the drop of a dime. Before Beyaz, I could count on one hand the number of times I had cried in the last 5 years. Also, the weight gain. My doctor put me on Beyaz because it was supposed to help me lose weight. Instead, I have gained everywhere & although I constantly work out, I can't lose the weight. I have never had acne, so I can't really speak on that, but I will say that I have had quite a few breakouts while being on Beyaz."


"I've had this medication for almost 5 months now. I switched from the mirena IUD. The doctor told me it would be perfect so I wouldn't have to worry about getting pregnant and taking it. I liked it the first month. After the bruising went down I never thought of it, till the second month came. When I was on the IUD, I never had a period besides the first month. Now, my periods are a dark brown (sorry still grosses me out) and really heavy. They last 3-4 days and come back in two weeks or so. I've experience terrible mood swings to the point where my fiancé and I fight alot. I've also experienced anxiety and through myself into panic attacks. My cramping has worsened to a point where I can't move. But hey, I'm not pregnant right?"


"I was on Adderall and that worked amazingly!! But I was paranoid and depressed which effected me so much I had to switch. I switched to strattera and it helped! Then it started to not make a difference so I got upped to 100mgs. I have to eat right after or else I become very ill(nauseous)."


"Zomig has been a miracle for me.  I had debilitating migraines for twenty years and had given up on finding anything that would help me. In 1998 a new doctor prescribed Zomig and I have never had another debilitating migraine.  When I have health insurance it's great.  Without insurance, outrageously expensive, $240 per month. But I am scared to try a different medicine even though my insurance pushes for the change."


"I came down with a fever and severe sore throat over the weekend.  Felt like I was swallowing glass.  Finally went to the doctor on Sunday and was diagnosed with strep throat.  They gave me antibiotics and prednisone.  Took my first dose at 7pm Sunday and woke up Monday feeling about 80% better.  By Monday evening throat has almost zero pain.  Amazing.  However it is midnight and I can't fall asleep and just want to get up and clean out a closet so that might be a negative.  I will take it over the glass throat though.  :)"


"After a 3-month heavy regimen of surgeon-prescribed oxycodone due to a head-on collision, the oxy was replaced with generic tramadol 50 mg, 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours. At first I hated it, the numerous side effects caused more suffering than my injuries. I later saw a pain-management specialist who lowered the dosage considerably for my 90-lb frame to 25 mg every 8 hrs and I've had much improvement. My pain is more tolerable, I have no more side effects, nor do I need to sign a waiver to obtain it. Most importantly, I can now  function more normally and even drive short distances again. In my case, the correct dosage is the key to success."


"OxyContin controls the pain I have from various disorders. I still have pain (I'm on 80 mg twice a day), but it's so much less and I can do so much more. "


"I was prescribed drysol because I found a lump in my armpit and my doctor thought it could be a clogged pore. The lump was gone within a week and so was any sweat! It wasn't painful for me, sometimes a little bit of itchiness but that's it. I just want to say to anyone who is experiencing pain, make sure you do not apply to freshly shaved armpits! The pharmisist told me this, one time I had shaved but forgot to put the drysol on before so I had to put it on after. I was in a lot of pain and it was very itchy. Otherwise this is a great product! I do sweat a lot on my hands and feet but when I use drysol it will stop for weeks!"


"This medicine is great. I have no side effects and the hand eczema clears up within a week. I have to get a shot about every 10-12 months."


"I took this medicine at 6:30 pm and it started to calmed my cough around 11 pm"


"I've has the implant since mid December last year. The first few weeks after getting it were horrible. My boobs swelled up and were so painful that I cried whenever taking of my bra and I had terrible mood swings that almost made my boyfriend break up with me. I haven't had a period until last week. It was really light and only lasted about 5 days, but the first few days I had really bad cramps.

I've gotten more spots on my face, back and chest. Other than that it is great, I love not having to remember to take a pill everyday."


"It does the job of pacifying my gout and arthritis pain well. It does however come with the traditional side effects; you build up a tolerance, it can make it hard to focus, it will make you sleepy, and once you come off it you will likely have withdrawal for 3-5 days and it will cost you sleep."


"This has helped me a lot, but I have a couple tips. There are different brands that people will react differently to (I thought they would all act the same but no). I had a bad reaction with the first generic brand I tried, tried a different generic brand, and had a better experience. So look into that because not everyone believes that there's such a difference between different brands but to me there was. Second, I'm overweight and thought "decreased appetite? good!" but I would advise to still make sure you're eating frequently enough. Food has such an impact on brain functioning so not eating for 6 hours because you didn't feel like it is a bad habit to start! Once I got those slight issues settled, this drug really helped.Just be smart"


"Severe motion sickness....nothing seemed to help. Meclizine and Zofran did OK but still nausea on a plane.
Brought Lorazepam  into the mix with the other two and WOW just like sitting in my living room no symptoms at all."


"The 2nd / 3rd week was hell, I felt nausea, aches, cramps, and going to classes was a chore. For the next 2 1/2 months I didn't have a menstrual cycle which was worrisome because I didn't know if I had gotten pregnant of not. But then it started for three days so my fears lessened, another month without a cycle and it came around the same time as it had before. No real change in my period besides it lasts a week to a week and a half now, and then stops, It's much more irregular than when I was on the pill but I don't have it as frequently so I don't worry so much about pads or tampons every month. I'm reaching the 9 month mark and now I have an itchy bump form in the area where the implant is for two mornings but they go away after 30m-1hr."


"Really has done wonders for me.  Have nothing bad to say."


"I have had Kyleena for 3 months now and it’s been a rough 3 months. I have had spotting every month. The first month I only had spotting for 5 days and then the 2nd month I spotted for 17 days and now I’m on my 3rd month and have been spotting for 12 days. I also have had the worst acne I’ve ever had. All over my chest back and face. The only good thing I could say about this IUD is I don’t have to take a pill everyday so that’s nice. Would not recommend to someone with bad hormonal acne."


"the active ingredients probably work, but applying the patch is a nightmare! I have tried calling the company and the "customer service" person read me the insert. I can read, I can follow instructions, but I can't get the backing off without a great deal of struggle. I sometimes end up with half a patch. I am switching to anything else."


"I am on my second try with Chantix. The first time I was doing great, although I had some nausea but when I switched to the 1mg I felt like I was taking a placebo and I started smoking more than I had before. This time my doctor is only giving me the 0.5mg. The nausea seems worse this time and I can't sleep. My eye starts to twitch out of no where. I am clenching my jaw all day and I feel "fuzzy". This has got to get better."


"I had constipation for a few years , My bowel movements was so bad, I use to cry because was in so much pain. I couldn't eat because I was so scared to have a bowel movement, I was always bloated. I finally made a appointment to see a GI specialist, Linzess 290 mcg was prescribe, This capsule change my life on the toilet, I take it every morning on a empty stomach before breakfast with a glass of water. Before I was introduce to Linzess , I use laxative teas , stool softners, otc laxative nothing, changed diet ate fiber, fruits, had glasses of water nothing. This medication work for me."


"I was having seizures off and on for almost 4 yrs. Diagnosing this was difficult because I could never had a witness or could describe the symptoms. I was averaging 1 per month then I got worse. I had 4 in two weeks but all of them had witnesses. I called my doctor and he ran heart tests and an MRI on my head. That's when he said I had Partial Epilepsy and gave me the Trileptal. I've been taking it for 6 weeks and haven't had any problems since then. I like this pill very much and the best part is its only $4 a month."


"I am a 67 year old male who has suffered from low testosterone for many years. I have been using Fortesta for 2 months, and have seen a remarkable increase in my sex drive, and sense of well being. My penis has increased in size when soft to double it's previous size. Fortesta is great."


"Side effects far worse than  Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) it's self. Constantly nauseous, made no difference to headaches/pressure, suffered with slight breathing difficulties & palpitations, the tingling in hands and feet were more like cramp than tingling in the end... the list goes on.."


"I've been using this cream for 5 days now for anal hpv. Last night was the first night I skipped a treatment and I'll reapply it again tonight. I'm using it 5 x's a week. I have yet to experience the horrible reaction a lot of people complain about. And I've been using an entire packet of the cream.  It seems to be working different on everyone because everyone's immune system is different but I'm HAPPY to say that aldara appears to be working. In just 5 days I can already see the warts getting smaller. They are kinda red but they aren't painful just a little tender. No bleeding and no horrible side effects. Don't be afraid to use it. If u start getting bad side effects use less cream and space the days out more."


"I am 54 years old and was put on Levaquin in August. I had side effect from the medication that caused joint and tendon pain and damage. I used to take it when I was younger with a good outcome. It is now January and I still have very bad knee and tendon pain. Beware of the medication."


"Allergic  reaction , May 6, 2016. Itching, redness, 45 minutes into shot. Went back to Dr office, they gave me 2 shots an a pill. Sent me to ER for observation."


"Took this for 5 days for inflammation following knee surgery. Did nothing for pain and I had some stomach issues. The morning after my 5th dose, I woke up and the room was spinning. Vertigo was so bad I could barely walk. Going back to ibuprofen. I'll never take this again."


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for 2 years now and it has been great for me. It has cleared up my acne and I have had no weight gain or other side effects while on this pill. However just recently I have been having breakthrough bleeding so I am switching to Tri Sprintec. Also I could not afford 50 dollars a month. Overall though I would say it's a great pill and I highly recommend it."


"Some poorer Dr.s argue that "Z" packs should NOT be used to treat Bronchitis.  This is a dangerous view due to the fact that without such treatment Bronchitis can lead to Acute Bronchitis or even Pneumonia.  Don't let the Bad Doctor play with your health.  If you have bronchial infection, demand a "Z" pack or replace the doctor!"


"I'm an all or nothing kind of girl so when I decided to quit smoking I wasn't going to cut down, I wanted to quit cold turkey so I went to my doctor for some advice. She prescribed me 300mg of bupropion and advised me to use nicotine replacement. I have used nicotine replacement in the past which made me very ill and vomit so I did not follow her advise on that part. So I started with 150mg like she said to and worked my way up to 300mg but it felt like too much for me. I am a very petite woman so I decided to stay at 150mg. While I was taking the 300mg I was very warm, sweaty and I felt anxious. At 150mg I no longer had the sweating and anxiety but I did feel warmer than normal. It was worth it though because I am now an ex-smoker!"


"I was drug free for the first 26 years of my life, but after my divorce I began a whole new life on my own, found new friends and started to have fun that included drugs. I felt they were harmless, and that turned in to 20 750 mg vicodins everyday. Some days it was hard to get them and then I would go in to a desperate panic terrified by the thought of withdrawl. I began Suboxone 2 years ago and never had one withdrawl symptom. It is shocking how effective it is."


"I am 50 years old and have had severe rheumatoid arthritis for more than 6 years. I was taking Advil like candy for years until I was diagnosed with Arthritis. My 1st Rheumatologist put me on 7.5/750's 3 times daily and it worked well. After changing doctors after major Lung Surgery they sent me to a Pain Management doctor who put me on Duragesics then MS Contin. That sure got rid of the pain, but the depressant effects of Morphine based medications made me miserable. Hydrocodone or even Oxycodone work very well as long as you don't abuse them. I'd wish more Pain Management people would get off the Morphine dependency. This kind of treatment makes it hard to treat pain after major surgeries."


"A side effect of this medication for me was tardive dyskinesia."


"This was my first experience with birth control but I have to say I absolutely love it. I used to get horrible heavy periods in which I would go through at least seven super tampons a day with extreme cramping. Now my periods are light and unnoticeable. For the first couple of months I had bleeding in the middle of my cycle (very light, not even worth a pantyliner) but this went away as my body adjusted. I honestly feel like Lo has helped my mood swings (probably because I'm not in horrible pain for a week of every month) and I'm much happier with it. My sex drive was unaffected as well. Overall I absolutely love this birth control!!!"


"This is the only medicine that I've tried that controls my endometriosis symptoms. It has been a MIRACLE. The first shot caused intense hunger that lasted about a month. But I have not experienced any weight gain and have in fact lost 10 pounds with diet and exercise while on depo. The first month also caused some bad adult acne but I got that under control with acne washes. I've had some occasional light spotting that requires an ultra thin pad for a day or two. There was 1 bad period when I was due for the second shot, but since then, I haven't had any periods at all. It's been 6 months and this shot allows me to live a normal life, make plans, and work a normal job without having to miss numerous days."


"I'm 22 and I've been on birth control since I was 15. Trisprintec. (5 yrs) Nexplanon. (6 mos.) Microgestin 1.5 (11 months.)  I was over the side effects from hormones and I have been researching on my own to figure out the best type of birth control for me. Eager but nervous, I requested the Paragard IUD to by OBGYN. I got medication to soften my cervix the night before, went in Tuesday and it was uncomfortable but way less painful than I thought (she said I have a high pain tolerance) it is Sunday and the cramping is bad, my lower back & abdomen are bothering me but the bleeding has stopped (I even started my period the day of insertion) I will review again in a month or so"


"When I first started this medication it was OK ,I was never told this medicine cause memory loss. It's really bad, I can't remember at times if I took my medicine and places I have been going all my life I can't remember how to get there. Please be aware!!!"


"I've been using Differin for 2 years now, and it has worked well for me. I still get small bumps though and am going to ask my dermatologist for the 0.3% Differin because I am currently on the 0.1%. I think using the stronger cream will clear it all up. "


"I'm giving this a 5 because I have no idea if it works or not... Yet ;). I took 1 pill after not having a BM for 3 days. Never having had constipation like this before I've never taken any laxitive type medication before. I really wish I had read these reviews prior to picking this up at the market. I guess time will tell. My sister had taken a similar product a few years back, took 3 and was in  excruciating pain the entire night and well into the next morning.So, to be on the safe side I only took the 1 pill. At least I'll know I'm not actually dying if I go through the hell all the other reviewers describe. Hoping it'll all work out smoothly. ( pun intended "


"I don't have anything to complain about besides a big decrease in appetite, which is good and bad. It helps me eat healthier and eat the right portions but I almost feel like I have to force myself to eat now and I Love food. So I've ended up shedding a few pounds which I'm already tiny enough. But besides only a little spotting and my first period was shortened and minor cramping, its working out fine for me! I was on Lo estrin  prior and that made me feel a little moody and emotional and  brought down my sex drive as well."


"I was given 34 treatments of radiation to  my breast for cancer.  My Dr told me to use Sarna 3-4 times daily.  As treatment progressed I had dry, burned, itching skin, and this product was the only relief I could get.  It was so cool and soothing and kept my skin moist.  I love it and think the company should add this on many cancer center sites, as we need all the comfort we can get,  Thank you Sarna"


"I bought the OTC patch. I have problems with urge incontinence and thought this might help. Wore the patch for 24 hours, after a couple of hours of having it on I started noticing I was having cramps and pain, the urge got worse and I felt like I had to urinate constantly. I took the patch off and a few hours later the cramps and feeling of having to urinate constantly went away."


"I had a huge problem with underarm sweating.  I would sweat and have visible wetness under my shirt 5 minutes after putting it on. This product has changed my life. I feel completely dry now. I can wear different colors and not have to worry about wetness. I used to actually switch out napkins under my arms to stop the sweating. Once your body gets used to this product, you only have to apply it once a month or so (sometimes even less, like every 2 months in my experience) this product is like a wonder product."


"My son who is nine was just started on Vyvanse for ADD. He was not hyperactive just couldn't focus.  We struggled with from preschool to third grade. Held him back in first that helped a little. Then third grade about killed him. Medications were my last resort. Scared me to death to put him on medicines, 100% difference. Teacher said it was like a fog lifted. I'm like wow. Decreased appetite only side affect. But not bad."


"I've had acne since I was 12 and I'm 15 now. my acne is EVERYWHERE and its red, huge and very painful. When I decided to see a dermatologist she prescribed Aczone to apply morning an night after washing my face with CeraVe facewash. I saw amazing results! After my second visit, my dermatologists prescribed Acanya to apply in the morning and and continue applying Aczone at night. ... My face immediately got  even worse than it was before. Right now I feel so depressed. Every time anyone talks to me all they see are the huge zits on my face. Everyone just keeps telling me home remedies to use and NOTHING works."


"I started taking antidepressants in January. I started with lexapro and was on it for 5 months. It worked for a while then it just stopped. My doctor raised the mg for it and it still didn't work. Then I switched to Effexor. Had terrible side effects. I have been on brintellix for a little over a month. Due to issues at my doctors office, I had no medication to take for several days. I didn't notice much of a difference while taking the medication. But once I stopped, I noticed that I was more depressed than before. I was irritated easily and upset. I have noticed I've been eating a lot more while on the medication. Not okay. And I take it at night because it makes me tired. It has helped my depression some. I've felt more like myself"


"I've had the Paragard for a year. Right after I got it, I had my period for two weeks. It was terrible. But I don't regret getting this birth control. I can't do extra hormones. They mess with my blood pressure and make me crazy so this seemed like the best option since I didn't want to get my tubes tied because I want more children. The bad reviews scare me, but so far for me after having it a year, I don't really have any complaints at all. And I don't have to worry about any "oops's" or anything like that. And my husband and I certainly don't need another child right now. We have six already."


"I'd been on long acting morphine and MSIR but the pain was like a roller coaster. After sustaining a serious fracture, the orthopedic surgeon had me evaluated by a pain clinic. The doctor there did a thorough assessment and gave me my life back when she prescribed Fentanyl. Since the Fentanyl I've had not one trip to the ER for a flare... in 8 years! I've never needed an increase, either."


"No anti-psychotic medicine is perfect. But Seroquel is quite okay. Gives you a good night of sleep. You can feel dizzy. But the best is no extra pyramidal symptoms.  I tried 4 or 5 other antipsychotics but this as good as it gets considering side effects."


"I have been taking this for a little over a month now. Not satisfied yet. I have had ALOT of spotting happening, I get cramps (of which was something I was trying to NOT get) which still causes me to take my pain medication, I also have had the worst acne I have ever had in my whole life. I have never had it this badly. If after 3 months nothing has changed. I will be done with this product and onto another. I have a wedding in a week and am sad to say this pill caused my skin to look like this. So much for flawless skin on my day and honeymoon."


"My doctor prescribed Lyrica for fibromyalgia, this was the worst medication I have ever taken! Within a few days, my anxiety levels were through the roof . I had other side effects too but I can't recall what they were now - it's been a horrendous year."


"I've been on Wellbutrin for a year and a half now. I had been reluctant to admit I was depressed even though I was miserable. I was rude and snappish with everyone, unhappy with myself and just wanted to die. Then I started Wellbutrin.  Immediately, those thoughts in my head about what an awful person I was stopped.  When I consciously tried to think about them again, I couldn't do it without my brain also coming up with all the reasons those negative thoughts were ridiculous and untrue. The only side effect I noticed was lack of appetite but that went away after about three weeks.  This medicine works really well for me.  I feel so much more like myself."


"I've used gabapentin for 6 years supplemented with propoxyphene (now off the market) and it has stopped the numbness and tingling I feel. It does not however deal with the spiked and the dull pain associated with neuropathy. I wish they would bring back Darvon. That medicine did wonders for me without any side effects."


"I have been on this medication for 5 years.  I have had my dosage lowered twice from weight loss.  It works great but the dosage is always changing and I have the side effect of anger.  I used to be so easy tempered."


"My nexplanon was inserted on January 20th, the last day of my period. I'm afraid of needles but it didn't hurt as bad/just a slight tug and pressure when inserting! This is my 1st BC ever.

Now it's 02/09/2017 and I noticed some spotting last night (originally it's 3 days left until I would normally have my period) I never spotted before throughout any of my periods. I thought I had started last night when it "felt" like my normal period symptoms, except this morning, I only had brown discharge but No. blood

My arm was aching for about 1-2 weeks after it was inserted and I have two toddlers (1 & 2 year olds) so I try to avoid them laying on my arm or touching it.

So far, I like nexplanon. Hopefully my overall, future, reviews are great!"


"Concerta has saved my life and I am doing great in school. I just got my progress report and I got a 3.8"


"Chemo not exciting but awesome web site."


"I've been taking Macrobid for urinary tract infections for years with no problem, it always worked really fast. This time I got a severe headache within an hour of taking the first pill, I didn't connect it to the Macrobid and took the second dose which was a big mistake.  The headache was like a migraine and took two days to go away. "


"8 week regime, not detectable @ 4 and 8 weeks. Full blown viral load detected at 6 mos. Expensive failure."


"I had the Nexplanon implant inserted in November of 2012, and had it recently taken out and a new one put back in. I have nothing but great things to say about it! I haven't gained weight, lost sex drive, or had a drastic change in moods/emotions. I can certainly say it effects everyone differently, just like every other birth control, but it's definitely worth a shot!!"


"Urgent care Doc gave me Colcrys and Voltaren for a flare up in my kneee.  First flare ever in knee, wow, I thought it was bad in the foot, but it's nothing compared to the knee!  The doctor gave me a 3 day supply, buy the end of day 1 I was at least 75% better, by the end of day two no pain.  This worked wonders for me, good luck to you."


"Rating of 5 for now, should be getting my first period tomorrow if this works like my Microgestin fe 1/20 did. Body is still adjusting to this pill. Pros: Sex drive has increased. Every other BCP killed my sex drive. Breasts seem bigger, but maybe that's just me being hopeful. Con: Acne has gotten a bit worse, especially on my arms. I am getting more tiny pustule pimples than I was, but I have also been eating a lot more junk lately. Weight has gone up a couple pounds which is okay since I was having trouble gaining weight anyway, but like I said, I haven't been eating too well. No increase in headaches from my normal amount, and no weird mood swings. I take my pill before bed so I don't notice any nausea. So far, I feel great."


"I was very apprehensive to take this medication because of all the negative reviews on this site and others, but I'm telling you, TRY THIS PILL.
I've literally tried every product, been to multiple doctors and dermatologist, have had facials, treatments, etc., etc... NOTHING has worked. Except this.
PROS: Started to control my acne(less "patchiness", less breakouts), made my breasts grow almost a whole cup size bigger in the first 2 packs, made me more relaxed and chill then I already was, 4 DAY PERIODS.
CONS: the first pack I experienced constant spotting and really bad mood swings (only the first month, after the first pack I am more in control than ever)
I can now go to the dermatologist to fix my scaring and my skin will be perfect! good luck!"


"Was put on pregabalin for severe anxiety and panic attacks. Slowly got the dose up to 300mg per day, spaced out into three 100mg doses.
I felt better for about a week - then back to an anxious wreck.
Pregabalin makes me seriously tired I can sleep throughout the whole day.
I feel a little detatched from others and spaced out often.
Really don't like the effects it has on me but scared to stop taking it now!
Also have suffered severe oral thrush and acid reflux since starting the meds.

I know it works well for others so maybe its just not the right med for me!

Just to add I also take 40mg citalopram along side pregabalin."


"Works excellent if you haven't built a tolerance to it. After a few days of use you may find the medicine is less effective than it was when you first used it.

Benadryl knocks me out quite quick when I use it, the only problem I have with it is that I tend to oversleep or wake up groggy the morning after, which is generally relieved with some sort of caffeinated beverage."


"Weight gain & bloating like never before
cramping pains
migranes
dizziness
massive hair loss
....no period or pregnancy is the only good things"


"Had been on Effexor XR for 5 years, and noticed as I progressed toward menopause, my depression was worsening.  I was just a shell of the person I was previously.  I went to my dr and was prescribed  Viibryd.  Within a week I noted some gradual changes.  It has been just short of a month, and I notice less sleepiness and concentration concerns.  I also have less anxiety, and my irritable bowel syndrome symptoms are lessening too.  So far I am very pleased with it."


"This medication has made me unemotional and boring and like many others I'm forever hungry. I have put on an insane amount of weight, admittedly needed, due to suffering anorexia, but when I started on this medication I weighed 37kg and 6 months later nearly doubled to 65 kg. This I feel is an unnatural weight gain in such a short time, and now I don't go out due to feeling bad about how I look."


"After no sleeping for several days, in my mayor maniac crisis ever, I started in Geodon. It's been magical. No side effects at all.  Couldn't recommend it better. Of course, is my experience."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I've been taking this for two months. I've lost a much needed 25 pounds and my face is always clear. I have noticed a slight depression though but I feel its tolerable and worth it."


"I experienced some side effects in the beginning of taking this medication. I tried two others prior to this and they failed so when I got onto this it helped me so much. I feel so much better and more energized then I have had in the past."


"I have never had perfect skin, always had 1 or 2 pimples at a time, and usually a cystic one too. But 5 months ago I started breaking out BAD, mostly on my lower cheeks and chin. I tried so many Orc face washes and scrubs but nothing worked. I finally went to the dermatologist and I have been taking doryx 200mg a day for about a week now, as well as using epiduo at night before bed. My skin is already clearing up! I mostly have hyper pigmentation and some scarring now, which I will have to deal with, but hardly any pimples!! I'm hoping it will keep getting better as the goes on but for now, I am loving doryx."


"This medicine really helped me with both depression and sleeplessness, the only negative side effects were that I tended to need at least 9-10 hours of sleep a night rather than my usual 7-8. Also I had some weight gain due to significantly increased appetite after each dosage."


"I get severe hiccups. This works!"


"I'm a 24 year old female who was prescribed strattera and Ciprolex combined. I have been diagnosed as ADHD and mild depression. I was on Ciprolex for a number of years before strattera and had no side effects but when I started taking Strattera within 2 days I had heart palpitations, dizziness, sleepiness and nausea. I stayed on the medication because I could not focus on even the most basic of tasks so I dealt with these side effects. After a year I started to feel great!! So I weaned myself off and within 2 months I became such an angry, depressed and filled with anxiety over nothing. Anxiety to the point where I thought I was going to be sick. So now I'm stuck dealing with these pills or be worse than before."


"Third day on it and I feel like I have the flu but without respiratory symptoms. Tired, muscle aches, headache, dizziness, nauseated. Still better than having to pee, painfully, every ten minutes."


"This drug medicine works well for me. I am 57 and have used it for about two years. The worst symptom is as listed in the Professional Section on this website:
 Abnormal ejaculation includes ejaculation failure, ejaculation disorder, retrograde ejaculation and ejaculation decrease. In controlled studies, abnormal ejaculation was associated with the use of tamsulosin and was dose-related.

Though there is no change in the pleasure, this side-effect is annoying. "


"I have tried every AD(H)D pill known so far. I started in grade 4 and went off them in grade 7. I am weird as far as medicine goes and it never worked as intended, side effects for other pills were things such as no free will, not remembering anything that I did for 3 years, no control of self awareness or recollection of my actions, fainting or passing out without warning. I went off the pills in grade 7 due to mental and physical health issues and concerns. Decided to take the pills again because I need them to graduate, started on Vyvasne. It is 1000X times better than any other pill that I have tried over the years. Biggest problems is lack of appetite (went 26 hours without eating without realizing it) started on 80MG by mistake."


"I have had GERD since I was 19 years. For some reason I eat Ketchup with everything. I am 31 now. I've use Nexium in the past and my acid reflux always went away. Recently I've had upper back pains, cold chills, stomach and heart burns and the worse belly pain ever after I ate. The doctor sent me for a blood test which came back negative for any infections. I was placed on Nexium. Within 2 days I felt much better. I would recommend this for anyone. Wish I tried it before I did the ultrasound of my kidney, liver and gallbladder together with a chest x ray. I guess you got to pay a high price for a good product like Nexium. But I don't mind. I feel much better now."


"I'm 45 and started noticing general loss of libido around age 40, and severe ED around age 43.  Led a very wild drinking lifestyle since my 20's, but don't smoke, and my doctor felt that I did some major damage to my testicles and penis nerve endings from all the drinking.  Just an FYI - I didn't know drinking could do that to you ...  Anyhow, he gave me a sample pack of 20mg tabs and I tried half of one the first time.  Wow.  All of a sudden everything worked great again - it was like a miracle and I'd be good to go until mid-Sunday.  "


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


"Good medicine"


"I have been on Bydureon since November 2012 and 2000 mg metformin a day. I am pre diabetic, have hypothyroidism and polycystic ovarian syndrome variance. After much difficulty, this medicine has been a lifesaver! I have lost 51 lbs to date (235 to 184) and am feeling great! My a1c went from 6.5 to 5.7 in three months. I get new lab results next week. I did have side effects in the beginning but I stuck with it and it is fine now. No more nausea. Some diarrhea but I also have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Good luck to anyone out there dealing with this."


"I got my paragard Monday March 20, 2017. Insertion hurt but it wasn't life alteringly horrible. Mild cramping that day, but I went home and could still live life just fine (I did laundry and made dinner). The next day I went to work and just took one ibuprofen to alleviate my super mild cramps. By Wednesday I was sprinting on the treadmill, spotting completely gone. Had intercourse Thursday, no string felt by husband, no cramps nothing.  I will review again after my cycle, but I have never been one to have an awful period. I'm a 29 year old 5 foot 105 lb female, I had previously been on the pill for 12 years."


"As a general rule I don't like liquid medicines, however I did find a few tricks I have read on the internet worked quite well for me and maybe for some other people with issues.  I found that putting the prep bottles in the fridge for about 12-24 hours before use so as to make the solution as cold as possible makes it taste less like medicine.  I also found that reconstituting the Suprep with ginger ale instead of tap water helps to get the prep down much easier.  Also use a straw so that you can shoot the medicine as far back in your throat as possible to avoid as much as possible certainly helps."


"I was taking metformin for 7 years. Doc added januvia as a1c was climbing.  It did not work at all. Moved  to invokana and had immediate results.   Blood levels now normal and lowest in 7 years. Losing weight too.  Some thirst issues but not serious.   Fast level 110  after meal 140.  Only problem:  IT IS EXPENSIVE."


"It's my 5th week using this medication. You do get breakouts but that's part of the treatment. I have noticed a difference on my right side. I have hope that by the 12th week my skin will be clear. It just takes patience!"


"I just want to see if anyone has had this experience. My husband started axiron 4 weeks ago and the day he started it, miraculously his personality changed. He has got an extremely  low

sex drive, with a T level on the lowest side of normal levels but the main reason

he started axiron woz due to his irritable, moody, crabby personality. Thing is , he bought a new car around the same time so it is possibly a combination of things as to why his mood is not so crappy. I actually like spending time with him now and I guess I shouldn't worry as to why his persona has improved greatly but I'm just curious. He is 46."


"OK here goes. Never written a review about this stuff. I have been on Zyprexa for 20 years and still taking it. I'm 65 years old, and have had Tourette's my whole life (as you all have). Zyprexa has given me more relief than any drug I have ever tried, and I've tried them all to include the Horrible Haldol.

I have 2 sons in their 40's and never any sign of Tourette's. I've just had my first grandchild, so I willl pay close attention to him. There has been a price to pay. In the 20 years I've taken Zyprexa I've gained 45 pounds. I don't like it much either, but never seriously tried to lose the weight if it is even possible. In the past couple of years, I've developed Type II diabetes or I should say "pre-diabetic"."


"I had a bad experience with this. I was pretty healthy prior to using this birth control. I even stopped smoking cigarettes because I knew it would make everything worse.
I started taking Microgestin two weeks ago and have become very ill. My side effects were high blood pressure, chest pain, shortness of breath, blurred vision, water retention, swelling fingers, dizziness, racing heart, feeling very tired and depressed. It had a few benefits: clearing up my face and regulating my period but the side effects were too many to handle. I know it works different for everyone but i wanted you guys to know that these risks are possible especially if you smoke or used to smoke. I am going to get switched to a different birth control. Best of Luck!"


"I was awake with a rampant earache and crying with the pain. Went to my emergency doctor who gave me amoxicillin 500mg. I was told I had an infection in both ears. Amoxicillin cleared it up and I felt so much better and got a good nights sleep."


"I suddenly keep getn these horrible cold sores like I was slit with a razor outside in like half inch splits that sting so bad n a couple times I've gotten a single sore down unda that hurts n is red. I go as long as I can bare it n sometimes it goes away on its own quickly but wen It doesn't I take one of my sisters acyclovir's a day n 9times outa 10 it goes away within a few days. I now take lysine with my daily vitamins. U cant just take vitamins wen u need em u gota take em daily so wen u get sick or watever they've already built up in ur system. I skipped a few days last week n i already got 2cold sores. Abreva only works if u use it at the 1st sign of a cold sore, once the sores there it will not work n that's a big waist of money"


"I've had this for about 6 months and I haven't got my period since I got put on this most people would think this is great but I have sex all the time and every month I worry am I pregnant and with the implant it's possible to have a ectopic which would mean outside the womb which could kill you so I'm really considering getting it taken out. Other then that if you don't worry like me then its great."


"After having Skylar inserted 24 hrs ago, I'm still experiencing cramping like I would on the first day of my period, but its not going away with the heating pad. I had mine inserted on the 5th day of my period, but overall I don't know if I'd do this again. I was able to get off the table and drive home, however the pain made me seriously consider popping a kid out of my cervix. Of my other options, I was done with the pill and looking at the arm implant when I was pushed towards the more regional discharge of hormones that Skyla has. Overall just frustrated with the explanation of what to expect as there isn't a week after section on the website."


"I have buzzing in ears, very annoying also find it hard to sleep. Yet when I do sleep I can sleep for 10 or 11 hour"


"I have been on Doxycycline for at least 10 years straight for acne. I saw a big improvement in my skin when I first started taking the drug in my thirties. Now that I'm 48 and entering menopause, it seems to be a little less effective because of my hormonal changes probably. But I have never had any side effects with this drug, which is great considering the amount of time I have been using it."


"At age 59 I had my first panic attack along with anxiety that would last all day and into the evening. I was given Prozac which I believe caused the symptoms to occur. After just one week on Lexapro 20 mg my anxiety completely disappeared and I haven't had a panic attack since. I would highly recommend Lexapro for anyone suffering from depression and anxiety couples together. I don't walk in fear now I'm completely relaxed and confident! Thank God for this medication!"


"I was given Compazine during in-patient chemo treatment in 1999 (as a cheaper anti-nausea med., as I was on Medicaid).  The Drs. said it 'may' cause agitation/work poorly for younger people (I was 25 at the time).  The agitation & horrible feelings were immediate.  It got so bad I ended up just twitching, crying & moaning into my pillow.   My skin was crawling, I was flooded with anxiety/panic.  I COULD NOT lay/sit still.   Next chemo treatment  was the same, so I never asked for/took it again.  I'd rather have gone without anti-nausea meds than go thru that again.  I later found one of the night Drs. who was sympathetic & I got samples of the good (modern) anti-nausea meds.  No akathisia at all."


"I am experiencing severe hair loss and breaking of hair and severe dry skin"


"The first pill very strong so waited till in bed and when the severe pain from shingles hit I took 2nd pill..instant relief. I was so glad I had the medicine and still have the bottle of pills as I never needed another. One pill got me
through the worst pain I had with shingles. I would not have a need for any now but saved in case shingles returned. I think it a tad bit too strong for most
pain that could be treated with a lessor degree of strength. 2 pills used out of whole bottle.  It was expensive but actually just one pill did the job."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"My problem was falling asleep while driving and falling asleep in class at nursing school. My doctor prescribed Provigil at 200mg in the morning. The first day was
simply incredible.  After that it didn't seem to work anymore. So the dosage was raised to 300mg.  Same affect. So now I take 400mg only on the days when I have class.  That seems to be enough to keep me going on the other days too.  Provigil is a very good medicine, and I am blessed enough to have insurance that pays every penny so I am not aware of the price. (And I still have to make sure I get at least six hours of sleep at night.)"


"You think that getting a shot is going to make your life easy? yea right! I am 29 years old and had been on the pill for 10 years due to my high blood pressure they put me on the shot go figure. I got a shot on May 20 2015 I weighed 180lb mind you I am tall 5"8 .  I had no real side effects come for the next shot I was 190 a ten pound increase I don't eat junk food. I got horrible headaches stomach cramps and horrible mood swings mostly anger. Now here into Nov. 2015 and I am 196 and have pregant belly and no period since the May 2015. Do not do it"


"Gives me some energy, but causes unwanted anxiety at uncomfortable times. I've been on it since the 2/7/17 and haven't lost any weight. Although I do eat less. I wake up several times during the night now as well. If I take it first thing in the morning it gives me horrible stomach issues, if I wait til lunch I'm up all night. I take it with a snack around 10:00am. It's been almost a month and a half, we'll see."


"I tried various other anti-depressants. I have severe depression, which runs in my family. Wellbutrin works well for me.  The only noticeable side effects have been twitching, and some sleeplessness. It is expensive though. The generic was just terrible. Gave aching, even more twitching, tiredness, lack of concentration, etc. I would not recommend the generic as many other people had similar complaints. I do recommend Wellbutrin SR NON-GENERIC, especially if you have insurance."


"Prescribed for me in ER when I was there for nausea and vertigo from Irritable Bowel Syndrome...probably the ONLY medicine I ever took that worked immediately and did just what it advertised...truly effective medicine!"


"I have been taking Trulicity for 12 weeks and lost 8lbs and my sugars are the lowest they have ever been. I have not had an A1C done since I started this medication but I am sure it has dropped. I do experience some of the side effects such as nausea and tiredness and I have no appetite at all and when I do eat I am full very quickly. I am on the higher dose and I have reduced the amount of Lantus I take by 20units daily. I do experience morning lows a lot more but a glass of OJ helps. I am anxious to see my doctor and get an A1C done."


"Works well to reduce symptoms of ADHD."


"I just started on this diet with phentermine and I'm 5'2 weighing 174. I have been on it for 3 days and already lost 3 pounds! I'm excited about the future outcome."


"It causes diarrhea after two days of taking it"


"Symptoms started clearing 12 hours after first dose.  Doctor prescribed 10 days at 400 mg/day.  All of my bacterial symptoms (sore throat, headache, drainage, cough, upset stomach, fever) were gone by dose 4.  No serious side effects."


"I've been taking lisinopril 20mg for about a week and I feel lethargic. I can't focus and I'm tired all the time. It's affecting my job performance.  Hopefully this is just an adjustment period."


"I feel as if half the time the medicine works really well and then other times that I need a stronger dose to mellow me out. I am currently on 10 mg of escitalopram. I am experiencing bleeding and it is not time for my period so this concerns me. I have been taking this medication for around 4 months now and this side effect just started last week and has continued for close to a week now.its just really strange. Has anyone else experienced bleeding?"


"This medicine saved my life."


"I've been on this for a week, on 100mg dose, but this stuff is tearing me up. I am urinating frequently and every time it's an emergency run to the bathroom. I have to walk out of meetings at work. I used to have a bladder of steel. I wake up 3 times per night to pee.  My thirst is almost unbearable. After 1 week, both my wife and I have yeast infections. My penis is burning. Now, I also have diarrhea. I am a mess."


"This medication helped me  sleep, but eventually it became ineffective as a sleep aid. It also helps me calm down when in severe stress, anxiety, or panic."


"So far this medicine is working a little, but I've only been on it for 1 day, I need to get it more time so really can't comment on it. My bronchitis is making me cough a lot, so I hope this stuff works."


"First day, my skin feels fine and normal. Second, day minor scaling of skin. Third day, my skin gets itchy, reddness, and scaling of skin becomes more noticeable. Fourth day, burns like crazy, my skin looks worse than it was before. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, it is hell. I am currently sensitive to sun and touch, and now I have more acne. Heres some advice if you have the side affects, use petroleum jelly, and wash your face every now and then. Right now I'm raging in pain, therefore I am not willing to continue using this product."


"My pharmacy switched me from Tri-lo sprintec to this because it was free on my insurance. I am on month 3. For me, the positives are that I've lost the weight I gained on tri-lo sprintec and I am no longer bloated all the time. However my mood, which was even and calm before, changed immediately on this pill. My mood changes in an instant and I've had several breakdowns and severe anxiety which almost never happens to me. I am also starting to experience hair thinning and inflamed pimples all over my chin and cheek area which was never an issue before, not since I took accutane. I am switching after this pack to brand name ortho tri cyclen lo with the hopes that my skin clears back up and my mood stabilizes."


"I first took Adipex in July of 2010 for 30 days. I cut out everything white out of my diet. Drank plenty water and lost approximately 13lbs without exercise. I chose not to continue taking the medication and started an exercise regimen where I lost an additional 7lbs. Found myself at a plateau and felt like I wasn't losing anymore. December 13, 2010 started taking the medication again while continuing exercise regimen and now have lost a total of 28lbs. Made a lifestyle change with proper eating, no fried foods, grilled chicken, fish, beef, lots of veggies, yogurt, fruit and plenty of water. I feel wonderful. Started out in a size 22w and as of Jan. 10, 2011 was able to get into a size 16. WHOHOOOOOO! Macy's size 12-14 here I come!"


"I have had restless legs syndrome for 20 years or so now. I have been taking Requip for almost the entire time it was diagnosed and I have a severe case. In the past few months, I have experienced some nausea, dizziness, pain and tiredness after my first dose in the morning. I did not realize this could be a side-effect of the medication. I take 4mg. 3Xday, if I did not, I would never sleep, sit through a movie or be able to focus on work. I will put up with the side-effects."


"I wanted to do an updated review on this medication. I am in my 9th month of taking it, and, before Obama Care I ran out a few times, and the effects were very noticeable. Even though it is not supposed to have classic SSRI withdrawal symptoms, I still had severe brain zaps. I have my script filled and I am back on it. I am such a better worker, listener and planner on this medication. I am a better version of myself. Love it! I take 40mg a day, 60mg was too much.  I am 160lbs tall female 34 yo."


"I was prescribed with Cefuroxime ( 2x500mg/day for 16 days) and prednisolone (60mg x 4 days, then 40mg x 4 days then 20mg x 4 days then 10mg x 4 days)

The combination works very well with in the second day of the usage. I can breath well and yellow mucus came out well, hopefully in a week I will be fine.

I am using netipot couple of times a day to cleanse the sinus and having single dosage of claritin and flunase as a prevention dosage.

Not sure how much does side effect does prednisolone  will cause, since this is first time I am using and hopefully doesn't hurt me.

I read prednisolone  is a steroid and I feel we have to avoid it."


"My eyes stayed dry,  red and irritated. After only 5 days, my eyes begin to clear up. Used it twice daily 2 drops each time. The only downside, was the stinging burning for the first 5-10 seconds, after putting drops in."

"Latuda {120mg.} made me VERY RESTLESS couldn't sit still for more than 5 seconds, didn't interact good with my other medications."


"If I had known it was possible to feel this way I would have started taking Prozac a long time ago. I fought myself on trying another anti depressant after being off lexapro for about a year. I guess lexapro did not work for me as well as Prozac has because I want to hit myself for starting this earlier.  I feel normal, I have energy to get through the day and I can focus. I have lost some weight though as I do not eat constantly like I used too (because that's all I felt like doing)"


"I would recommend this to everyone,
My experience on the shot has been great. This is about my 9th month now and I never had to deal with any crazy side effects like weight gain, acne, etc.
However, In the first 3 months I did have mood swings but they were never worse than any normal mood swings (for example period mood swings.) and I never got my period, bleeding, or any sporting till 6 months after I started the shot! And even then.. My period was very light and quick. Be sure to drink a lot of milk or eat dairy to replace the calcium that gets stripped from your body by taking the shot. If you don't replace your calcium, your bones can become weak or you can experience more side effects. Just take care of yourself :)"


"I am 20 and on 750 mg of Depakote a day. Gained 10-15 pounds within the first month of taking this medication, but now my weight is remaining stable. I am eating healthier and running each day though. When I first started taking it, I was so restless/anxious, I had to pace around like mad. It took about 3 weeks to really end my mania in combination with 2 mg risperidone. I am experiencing easy bruising now. Sleeping 10 hours a night. Have an irregular period. In general I move more slowly. I am cloudy in the morning. I don't get upset with my family anymore."


"My doctor prescribed me this medication to treat my BV. I was experiencing some odor and very little discharge. He prescribed me the 3 days dose and was surprised that it only came with one syringe. Day one of insertion was horrible, the syringe is not quite handy as the pill would get stuck in the syringe. After finally inserting the dose I had felt as if burning acid had been inserted into my vagina. It was horrible, the burning did not stop until 10 min later which felt like an eternity. Second night of insertion there was still burning sensation but somewhat bearable compared to the first night. Third night was back to the burning acid feeling but so bad that I almost wanted to head in to the hospital. I do not recommend this med!"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I am a heart patient and been taking Pradaxa for about a month now, I take 150mg twice a day. Every time I take this pill I have a severe case of acid reflux and heart burn. Nothing seems to help relieve the burning. I also have ulcers in my stomach and it always makes me feel nauseated. I had been using Coumadin since 2001 and had a lot of bruising and bleeding problems. I believe Pradaxa would be good if it wouldn't be so harsh on the stomach and esophagus."


"I've been using it less than a week and ( fingers crossed) it seems to be working well. Noticeable difference in my eczema areas. I will continue to use this as it seems to work better than anything else non steroid that I've tried. Hoping this will be a game changer for my skin and hope to get my son started on this too. Seems to be a great product so far."


"Hello everyone, I am going to review this medication from 6 years ago because it was the first & only time I had taken it & just got prescribed again today. I had blown out my right knee in 2010 bad enough to be out of work for 7 months working as a corrections officer. I weighed in pre op at 363. I am 6'4" tall & in 4 months I lost 70+ lbs. went from 363 to 286lbs from Nov. 2010 to March 2010. In that time I injured my back had to dart pain meds & the pain was so bad that I could no longer exercise. All I did was go to work & come home & lay In bed. From 2010 to today I now weigh 449. After a long battle of immobility & depression along with pain meds, I have now made my mind up to grit my teeth and make another change. This med works."


"I had a horrible experience after being prescribed Tegretol while in the hospital to treat my bipolar disorder. Within a few days of starting it, I began experiencing the shaking, nausea, etc. but the worst was the extreme anger/irritability I started experiencing. It got to the point that I would have horrible rages and felt like I was completely losing control. I kept asking my doctor to take me off the Tegretol, but he wouldn't. During one of these rages, I ended up fracturing my wrist because I hit a door so hard. After that, he agreed to take me off of it. After talking to other patients, I found out that a lot of them had similar experiences with this uncontrollable anger. "


"I'm a 47 year old who started out with 4 pumps of 1% Androgel after a few weeks my levels went from 250 to 450.  General health I felt a lot better. Noticed improvement in my energy level. I was having a very difficult time motivating and always feeling weak. My energy level has come back. After about 2-3 weeks my doctor switched me to 2 pumps of the 1.62% Androgel.  I still have my energy, but now having some of the side-effects listed.  My urination is not so good.  Short streams and much more often.  Another side-effect is my breathing.  Seem to have a heavy chest and some difficulty breathing.  I'm going to see if I can go back down to the 1% gel to see if that helps."


"I have tried all the fad diets to no avail.  I've tried over the counter weight loss pills and nothing has worked since stacker 3 original formula was banned.  I was told I would only get Adipex for 3 months.  My third check up is tomorrow and I've lost 50lbs so far.  The pill is starting to feel like it's losing it's effectiveness.  Tomorrow I am going to start a 10 day break in hopes that when I start back up it will be as effective as the first month.  I've got another 40 to go, so hopefully it works.  It's been great, though.  50 lbs in 2 months when nothing else helped before is very impressive.  It's nice hearing all the compliments on the weight loss too."


"Started on Pristiq one year ago. I had a slight positive change in my depression. I was able to get out of bed, shower, do some work. However, I developed OCD where I HAD to continually rub my nose or pick my scalp. After 6-7 months, I became anti-social, completely lethargic, did not dress or shower for days but sat in a chair rubbing my nose! I had no range of emotion - no anger, no joy - no feelings. The death of a good friend did not affect me. I decided to stop Pristiq - slowly - and I have had HELLISH withdrawals reducing by 25% every 2 weeks. Withdrawals included depersonalization, confusion, inability to think clearly, panic attacks, tremors, nightmares, tremors, and out of body sensations. I would NEVER recommend this drug."


"I took one pill at night.  I slept all night and all the next day.   Do not recommend.  I slept all day so don't even know if it worked for allergies.  Nowhere on the package did I see warning about sleep problem and no additional instructions in the box.  Stuck with expensive product  that I cannot use.  In my mind drowsiness is not the same as being sound asleep for over 24 hours."


"The medicine seemed to work okay.  However after two weeks of 25 mg I increased to 50 mg and after 6 days of 50mg I was admitted in the hospital with aseptic meningitis.  I didn't know at time it was from medication.  I came home restarted medication and then started with rash so stopped medication.  When I called my psych to tell him about rash and about recent hospital stay he told me Lamcital causes meningitis.  I was told to stop medication immediately."


"I use silver nitrate on all my cuts. I add it to an herbal salve that holds the silver nitrate longer on my skin. Only good side effects. No negative side effects!"


"So I developed psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis with my first pregnancy. Had patches on elbows ears face scalp and back they were small patches. But covering my whole entire elbows it was definatly painful and uncomfortable not to mention embarrassing. So after the birth of my son my rhumy put me on humira pen (eventually switched to the syringe) in 2013 it did not take full effect til almost a year later. I got off humira because I moved to a new state and had to go through insurance again. I took about 6 months to get approved now I have just started again. Hoping it will kick in faster this time. I would have rated a 10 if it didn't take so long but I will say this medicine DOES WORK give it time. "


"I took this with Paxil. The combination made me feel normal and I was able to control my anger and it helped tremendously with severe night time anxiety."


"I had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy on May 18 and Propofol was used. Like many other comments on here, you are out in seconds. No pain or discomfort. You wake up feeling s little groggy, but that's all. No need to be frightened of any procedure if you are being put under with this drug."


"This medicine changed my life.. It made me feel well and travel freely without any anxiety stmptoms or panic attacks.. It was amazing for me.. Until suddenly i started to notice that am gaining weight. I was 53 kilograms.. And after taking remeron for three months am 78 kilograms. It made me feel hungry.. Cravings sweets, pastas, pizzaz... What ever i eat and how much will still keep me hungry.. Now it is depressing me because i gained weight and this changed how i use to look And sizes Am now on my fourth month of this medicine.. 30 mg.. And my anxiety and panic attacks are 30% back. My dr. Recomended to increase the dose to 45mg.. But i refused. Cbt is doing well.. But am depressed about this medicine.. Tried many others but got allergy"


"This medication has helped me tremendously with any public speaking/presentation I had to give in the past two-three years (and I've had to do quite a few!). It's been the only thing that works and I take 20mg one hour before I have to present. I don't feel that overwhelming wave of anxiety and don't start getting the usual heart palpitations and physically noticeable symptoms that I normally do when I'm in those sort of situations. I don't feel that it interferes with my mental state or mood (it doesn't have a mellowing effect like other things I've tried). It's the only thing that seems to work for me at the moment. Good luck to anyone that's struggling with social anxiety!"


"I buy this insulin at for $28.88 ..the lowest price in the USA but u can only buy max 4 bottles at a time"


"Helps control allergy related inflammation of my throat and related airway. Ventolin pump seems to work better than others in delivering medication deep into throat area."


"I am a 51 yr old female 6'0 tall and my weight has really ballooned in the last five years.  I started on the trial, I wanted to make sure it would work for me before I spent alot of money.  I had the headache and body aches the first two days, and I am sticking to a high protein diet as well.  I have lost 13 lbs the first two weeks!  I am pretty good at dieting but have not been able to stick to anything for a long time.  My food cravings are totally gone!  I still have an occasional headache, but that is ok I can't wait for a year to go by I really feel like this is going to work!"


"Lupron Depot 11.25mg 3 month suspension has given me my life back. I have been on this for a month and saw my doctor today. His first words were wow! It is shrinking my huge fibroids. I had constant bleeding with flooding every month. Finally Sept 8th, 2010 I hemorrhaged. I was admitted into the hospital unconscious. Thank God my husband had the presence of mind not to sign a consent form for an emergency hysterectomy. I spot rarely now and have lost 4 pant sizes because the fibroids have shrunk so much. I will take my second shot on Jan 4th, 2011 and hope it will put me in permanent menopause. I am 49 and will avoid surgery at all costs. My side effects have been mild at best. My experience has been fantastic so far."


"I have OSAH and for the couple of years before this medicine- I couldn't drive more than 1 hour, or focus at work - I would fall asleep - regardless of the amount of sleep I got at night.  My CPAP helped, but still dozed off during the day. Since Nuvigal things are better, but still have some sleepiness if I have a rough week of less than 8 hours of sleep at night. Insurance pays most, but THANK YOU to the manufacturer who helps cover a portion, or else it would be costly."


"Was prescribed Provigil in 2005 for MS fatigue,  and Fibromyalgia fatigue and brain fog. Have always used the brand name.  I take 200mg two times a day.  This gives me 8 good hours of function.  Recently switched to Generic.  Cannot even compare to the brand name. Too bad the price is out of this world for such a wonder drug.  It truly is a blessing! But who on earth can afford it!??"


"Having read the reviews, I was apprehensive about taking pill however I was so bunged up, I felt I had little choice. I spoke to my partner and he agreed to take 2 pills with me. ( so we could go through it together. We took the pills around 10pm and went to bed. I drank plenty of water as suggested. I woke up around 7am to mild cramping and I went to relieve myself. My partner then awoke after me with severe cramping. He was banging to get in the bathroom to use the toilet but I was finishing my business. The pains made him drop to the floor and he pooped his pants and on the floor. When I finally finished I came out to see him curled up on the floor in agony with poo everywhere. He was really embarrassed and will never use again"


"I had the Nexplanon for 1.5 years. For the first six months I bled almost every day. After that I would have a period every month, but that also involved a lot of spotting. Sometimes I had my period for a couple of weeks. I never knew when I was going to have mine- it was never around the same time. I noticed a change in my mood (always up and down), weight (gained), and an HUGE increase of acne. The only positive thing about having the Nexplanon was not worrying about taking a pill every single day."


"This medicine does not work for me, each time I take, it make me drowsy, but I could not sleep."


"I've been using Cialis for about 5 years now after having problems staying hard during sex. This usually happened a few minutes before I was about to cum, so it was disappointing all round. My wife would then have to give me a flaccid hand job to make me cum. The doc prescribed cialis 10mg and the difference was immediate. I try to take the 10mg pill at least 1 hour before sex, but really the medicine works 36 to 48 hours later, so you can quite easily take one in the morning if your not too sure when you will require an erection that day. I noticed someone said here that they got hard just looking at a hot woman, well that does not happen with me, my penis needs direct stimulation, but the reaction is strong and immediate."


"I had tried a number of different prescription meds before Effexor, none of which seemed to help.  I can honestly say this worked the best, and with it I was able to get out of bed and begin to function again.  It really was one of those medications that did exactly what it was supposed to. I continued to take Effexor for three years, after which time I wanted to stop taking it and begin to manage my life without medicines.  This is when the problems began.  I can honestly say that it took me almost nine months to wean myself off Effexor.  I no longer have to take medication but would warn anyone being prescribed this that it is not an easy medicine to stop taking."


"I was originally put on Cymbalta for depression,  I was told to take it during the day which I did.  When I took the Cymbalta during the day it made me incredibly sleepy  to the point I could NOT stay awake so I discontinued it's use. Fast forward a few years and I started experiencing HORRIBLE Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. Doctor put me on Cymbalta to try and treat the pain.  This time I took it before bed.  I didn't notice any sleepiness during the day,  and my nerve pain got better, and eventually was completely gone.  After a year of use and almost no pain at all,  I started having some "break through pain".   Even though I am having "break through pain" after a year, the Cymbalta still makes life 100x better and I and grateful to have it!"


"I've been on this medicine for over 3 months now and it has been a lifesaver for me, I take three 5mg diazepam a day about every 6 hours and I no longer have the panic attacks, depression has decreased 90%, I sleep at night since my brain can finally shut down, I have hardly any horrible thoughts anymore which plagued me before always worrying that something bad would happen to my kids or family members, I also don't have to get up to go to the bathroom 4-5 times a night anymore. My Dr also started me on Lexapro 3 months ago but I haven't noticed any effects from taking it since the diazepam is so helpful."


"I have severe back pain due to an injury and the hundreds of bone marrow aspirates because of my leukemia. After many drugs (more than a dozen combinations). I find Soma to be excellent at relieving the muscle spasms, pain, and it also releaves anxiety similar to benzos and helps me sleep like no other medicine. I also take OxyContin with it and that is what keeps me stable and going throughout the day."


"After being diagnosed with PMS my doctor prescribed Sertraline on a cyclical basis. I take the tablets two weeks before my period and I can honestly say they have saved my life. I remember being so shocked when my period started for the first time on them because I hadn't had any of that awful build up of anger, depression and frustration. It was like a lead weight had lifted off my shoulders. I felt normal again."


"I have been on this medication for 11 years. It regulates the PVC%u2019s and PAC's, and slows the PSVT episodes that I get 1-2 times per year. Before this medication I always had irregular heart beats due to PAC's and PVC's and I was always tired and weak. As soon as I started using this medication I had a lot more energy. The only down fall, is that I always feel hot/humid even when its not hot/humid."


"I started taking Celexa about five months ago and let me tell you, my life is finally normal. I had been suffering from depression and anxiety since I was 13 and it got significantly worse over the course of five years until I was crying and enraged over anything and everything. I could not think straight. Even when I knew I was getting mad over something small, I could not control my anger. I am currently taking 20 mg of Celexa and experiencing no side effects. I am completely back to normal on this medicine. I can think straight and I am happy!"


"I was 61 before experiencing anxiety.  It happened when I quit smoking (2 packs a day).  If I smoked, the anxiety stopped.  I wanted to quit smoking very badly.  I quit 5 months ago. I take 1/2 dose of Alprazolam as needed, usually twice a day.  No side effects.  I could not have quit smoking without it.  Hopefully, I can wean off the alprazolam gradually over time."


"I am a 46-year-old woman that suffers from severe allergies and severe asthma since I was 12. I have been take the generic singular forever. It does nothing for me. I only take because both my pcp and pulmonologist insist I take it.

            I am miserable everyday. I still have to take a generic form on actives to get any relief. None of the others help either . Zyrtec, Allegera, and Claritan are worthless for me too.

I am happy for anyone this drug helps. It is worthless to me.:-("


"Please just get the diflu one time pill. This egg made me cry for hours, I cussed my girlfriend out while itching and burning. I felt like life would be better if I just died. It started to ease up after a few hours but the itch never went away. Oh and the cream that comes with it.. don't even try to use that!!! It makes EVERYTHING worse. It only sucks because some ppl either don't have insurance, or this life ruining infection creeps up on the weekend when u can't go to your obgyn. Females should be able to get the pill from the pharmacy just as well as they can get a plan b because these creams and eggs are a set up."


"The reason I gave it an eight is not that it does a thing for my anxiety due too an MVA. I gave it an eight because I take two 25mg at night which helps me sleep."


"Hydrocodone (either in the form of Lortab or Tussionex) is the ONLY thIng that works for my cough. I was diagnosed with asthma as a child and I ALWAYS have problems with a chronic cough when I get sick. I've been taking everything imaginable for the past 3 days to try and calm the cough so I can sleep- Robitussin, Delsym, Cheratussin AC (yes! even codeine didn't work!), Asmanex and Albuterol. I had to go to the ER tonight and BEG the doctor for it since I'm not in any pain. He didn't believe me when I told him hydrocodone is the only thing that works for my cough. He said its just a myth... but here I am, 45 minutes later without the coughing!"


"My doctor prescribed me 50 mg of this medication.  It worked for the first 3 days, now it doesn't work at all. I contacted my doctor and she said my body has to get use to it. What does that suppose to mean. Do any one have any suggestions on what I should do?"


"Been taking this for a year and my body never regulated to it. I spotted through almost the whole pack, every single time. Sexual intercourse became painful for me. This has personally been the worst experience with birthcontrol for me. I thought it would have been nice having a 91 day cycle, but given that I have bled through over 65 days of it, it is just absolutley not worth it."


"I used opiates for 3  years after my son was born. I struggled with everyday life, even making food or changing diapers if I didn't have some sort of opiate first thing in the morning. I was spending most of our money on drugs, and my baby was seeing me sick day after day... (He was ALWAYS taken care of, that was never an issue)... I finally had enough of trying to scheme doctors into giving me painkillers... I was sick of hard earned money going up my nose... I was an addict and I needed to just admit it already!! I found a methadone clinic very close to my home and made the appointment January 2015. I am almost a yr clean and happier than ever! I work everyday and take care of my family with no problem! Methadone saved my life, no doubt!!"


"I was on Klonopin for 12 years and prior to that Xanax for 13. For a total of 25 years on Benzodiazapines. I was forced to stop taking Klonopin abruptly after 25 years. I had to change from an excellent health plan to MediCal. Gov. funded healthcare. The county in which I live in California does not believe in the use of Benzodiazapines for ANYTHING!! Although It was not my choice to come off, this did not matter to the Drs that were "taking care" of me. There was tapering of cutting down. I went from 3 mg a day to 0. I started having derealization and depresonalization from the onset at 22 hours without the medication. This was terrifying!! I have no idea what this felt like. I check myself into a county Psych ER which was the worst thing d"


"I'm 26 and have suffered from severe spots since my early teens.
I've been using this cream for around 3 weeks now.
I had quite severe spots on my chin that would become really sore. My Dr gave me duac along with tablets to take for 6 weeks. I've noticed such a massive improvement already and I've got so much more confidence.
It does dry your skin but I've started using cleanser and a cleansing oil after washing my face and I've got no dry skin.
Only apply to areas that need it because it can make your face really red and itchy.
Overall I think it's brilliant I'm so glad I finally went to my Dr "


"I've had scalp psoriasis for 20 years and this is the only thing that works for me. Tar shampoo can be effective but not if it takes me an hour to comb out my hair after....(I have long think hair). Elocon lotion works instantly! I will say that it stings if you have an open sore from scratching but if you use it regularly it makes an amazing difference. I would suggest the lotion over the cream for scalp psoriasis. I'm sure the cream would work better for your body."


"I am bone on bone in my knee and was in a lot of pain. Had not been able to walk easily for several months. I felt so much better after taking 2  doses I was shocked. After three days I feel better than I have before I had the surgery that ended up making my knee worse than before. My only complaint is having to take three doses a day and it makes me very sleepy. I've tried prescription aleve and meloxicam and had stomach issues from both and I'm allergic to something in Celebrex. I feel like this medicine is a godsend."


"I've been taking this for about three months and I've had worse periods than usual, I've gained 30 pounds and have broken out very bad! My experience with this birth control has been horrible!"


"I was weary about taking Saphris, but it immediately helped with feelings of anxiety and depression.  I feel more confident now and my thinking is less muddled."


"I am very satisfied taking Lamictal 100mg daily. For the last two years from my most recent manic attack, I have not experienced any bad side effects about the pill.

Unlike Depakote and Seroquel, it gave me a massive weight gain.
Lamictal is good for people if you are not getting any rashes.

I give this drug a rating of 9 for its efficacy."


"I received the depo shot right after I had essure surgery to block my tubes, in 2006. I got my period about two weeks later and I never stopped bleeding for 3 months. I saw my doctor and she put me on hormone therapy, did a D&C and I still continued to bleed. By this time I was going through pads every hour. I had to get up at night and change the bed sheets. I was sent to the lab to have my blood drawn. My red blood cell count was at 18%. Normal count for an adult woman is 31-34%. I was sent immediately to the hospital where I had two blood transfusions and a hysterectomy. To this day my doctor doesn't know why I bled so much. I keep telling her it was the depo shot and she continues to say I don't think that was it. Don't Get the shot."


"I just started on this medication today I'm 29 5'6" 205 lbs I recently had a beautiful baby girl in August. More than any other reason I want to lose some weight to be healthy for my daughter. I took the pill at 9 am and incorporating a strict diet. I am feeling some nausea, dizziness and a slight headache so I'm hoping that with some otc meds to counteract the side effects this will work. I will update."


"I started taking this med when I gained 20 lbs in 3 months. It has been amazing. I feel great and in two weeks I have lost 16 lbs. I can not wait to see what the coming weeks/months bring. I will update monthly.

Starting weight: 6/20/17: 324
1 Week: 6/27/17: 317
2 weeks: 7/5/17: 308"


"I've tried Effexor, buspirone, and lexapro with no change in how I felt. I started taking Prozac last night and can already feel an amazing difference. I'm happy. I have energy... I actually WANT to participate in things. I'll update more once I'm on the medication longer, but so far I feel great."


"I'm 52, in good shape, no health problems, and just noticed a little lower performance in the sack, and thought I'd try something to get my mojo back (LOL). My doctor recommended Cialis. I was shocked to pay $230 for 6 pills! Wheew!. My doctor recommended to cut them in half, and try half dosage. Well, I'm a cheapo, so, cut them into thirds. 1/3 actually did quite well, no side effects, brought my mojo back and worked fine on day two as well."


"Was prescribed this at around 16-17 yrs old, for social and generalized anxiety. It did work well, but the excessive sweating and my father's anti-med nagging made me try and quit. I had only been taking it for like 5 months and I felt like I'd been addicted for years. Brain zaps, constant lethargy, extreme and unwarranted moods; these symptoms lasted an entire month, despite my short usage time.

I'm upset that this was the first thing they tried, on a 17 yr old complaining about social anxiety and the occasional panic attack... That month was the worst I've ever felt, if I wasn't a teen without responsibilities or took it for longer, I don't think I could've ever gotten off of it. Read withdrawal stories before starting Paxil."


"I've been taking desoxyn for 6 yrs now for ADHD and TRD (treatment resistant depression). Before this I had been mostly bed bound for nearly twenty years due to severe depression until I switched pdocs.  I am SO glad I did! Now when I wake up in the morning I have hope, and now I am actually happy to be alive.  Long ago I tried ritalin, but had only bad effects.  I'm no longer a burden to my family! The day I started it was like a switch turned on and life turned around. I graduate from college soon and even have a fiance and friends. Unbelievable! I tried so many things (inc ECT) before this drug and can't understand why this wasn't tried FIRST? If you have been suffering like me beg your doctor for this.  I hope this helps someone."


"Done deal. Works great if you are committed."


"I take 15mg phent. daily after breakfast, plus 25mg tenuate (3x day).  Started 6 wks ago, lost 12 lbs in first 2 wks, my diet mostly veggies /chicken, some berries or watermelon for snacking.  I walked for 15-20 min/ day.  It diminished my appetite, easy to avoid sweets.  Lost only 2lbs following 2 wks, and remained the same the following 2 wks.  It affected my already poor sleep, & having more severe headaches, dry mouth & light sensitivity. I'm more tired, constant ringing in ears now; should I stop Tenuate & double dose of Fentermine only? Where's energy I should have? My Fibro knots in back/shoulders came back; discouraged.   Need to get back with Doc for advice to continue weight loss."


"I just finished a package of Safyral yesterday, and so far I've had no weight gain, my acne has cleared up some, and my period came when it was supposed to. However, I have had spotting all through the first month, which the doctor said was normal so I have no complaints other than one really big one. While being on this pill I have had serious depression. I'm always moody, crying and sad. I am so sad that I have no appetite, no desire to go out, I'm never happy. In fact, I get raging angry sometimes and I can not control any of this. I am hoping that this side effect goes away soon."


"I've been taking Geodon for a few years now. I'm supposed to take 180 mg At night. But instead of knocking me out I'm restless and feel like I'm going to crawl out of my skin. So I take 80mg. in the morning and evening along with Zoloft, Vistril, and Klonopin a cocktail that makes me slumber for over twelve hours a day. My mood all the time unless triggered is "numb"."


"Have been taking this for about 2 months now. The first few weeks I was tired and kept getting back and leg cramps at night. My feet are cold a lot now, but my blood pressure is great, I'm no longer tired and I haven't had any cramps. It definitely took a few weeks to get used to, but it's worth it now."


"I take ONLY 10mg a day and It works for my nausea also. My biggest fear was/is the Tardive Dyskinesia. After my Esophagectomy I was prescribed it three times a day, and I didn't take it. I suffered a while longer and then just took one every other day or so and now even a few days in a row taking it and I've been fine."


"Was using Butrans 20 dose.  Chronic joint pain since childhood.  Was using  Hyrdocodone and Gabapentin.  Patch was amazing at controlling pain from day 1.  Lost 5 lbs due to stomach uneasiness, loss of appetite.  I had no marks at patch sites.  At 7 weeks every spot where a patch had been used erupted in blisters.  It was very odd and now 2 weeks later the red spots are finally receding.  Pain control 100%, stomach and bowel issues manageable.  "


"In 7 yrs of going through every painkiller known to man my pain management doc finally found a combination that works very well for me and gave back some of my life. My combination is Fentanyl 25 and Norco 10/325 for breakthrough pain. I have practically no side effects and does very well at managing my pain 24/7. I can function up to 4 hrs before the pain levels start to rise and have to stop. My issues are severe lower back pain from degenerative and bulging disks L 3-6. Both hips broken and severe osteoarthritis, same for right knee. My right Achilles tendon was torn up by a dog resulting in every infection including MRSA and Cellulitis. Multiple surgery's and 18 months to close. Now very painful and always a burning pain. This combination knocks out 90%."


"I posted on 05/22/2017. This is an update.
It's been almost 3 months since I had Skyla inserted. I stopped spotting after about 5-6 weeks. PMS symptoms are still more intense than before the IUD. My periods on Skyla are lighter than my "usual" ones, but they have become longer and last 8-10 days now. Cramps are sharper and less predictable. I never had to diet, remained in the same weight/size for the past 10+ years and returned to my pre-pregnancy shape within weeks. However, on Skyla I'm constantly hungry (as if I'm pregnant, but I'm not) and have gained 4 pounds already.
Skyla is a keeper for me unless I cannot control my appetite or other symptoms become untolerable."


"I use to get bladder infections all the time but this time was BY FAR the worst I've ever experienced. I managed to get myself into a walk-in and they prescribed me macrobid. The first pill I took -- along with cranberry juice, made me feel 80% better. By the third day taking macrobid, I felt 100% better. Definitely take it with a meal though, I took it with something small because I was in a rush and I felt very weak and nauseous."


"Started taking 5mg for one week, "


". Tried compounded synthethetic T4 and T3.(the synthetic drug minus all additives, dyes etc.-prepared by a compounding pharmacy and  the pure drug is put into a clear capsule)

Then tried Armour--much better

Lastly tried WP Thyroid. This is a fantastic thing.."


"Not stopped coughing took for 5 days still the same"


"Had atrial fibrillation since 1995. Ocurred once or twicw e a month severe enough to cause me to rest with my body at 45 deg for a couple of hours till it passed. Was on amiodarone and metaprolol. Stopped the beta blockers 2 years ago in favour of flecainide acetate. Have not had a single episode of unusual rythms."


"I had been taking YAZ for the past two years and my doctor decided to put me on Gianvi. I have been taking it for the past two months and so far everything is fine except the fact that I now have horrible acne. I never really had acne problems before taking Gianvi. I decided to wait out this next month to see if there will be any change, if not then I will stop using it and try something else. I will write back at the end of the month for an update."


"After first use I see improvement I'll update later"


"Viagra doesn't work its rubbish and gimmicks....."


"I have had Implanon since March of 2010. I experienced a lot of pain in the first few weeks, as well as constant bleeding. I get my period for 3 weeks straight it seems, and I have a week to a week and a half break. I kept telling myself that I would give it time; however with all of this "time", as it is now October, I am ready to relieve myself of Implanon. Yes, it is convenient that I do not have to take a pill or receive a shot; however it is not worth the constant bleeding, and pains, and headaches. Everyone is different, but I have decided Implanon is not for me."


"So this is my 90 day review I  had my Liletta  inserted 4/28/17. It took me a week to start bleeding after I got it installed since then I have yet to stop bleeding. It was heavy spotting for the first 2 months, and the past month its been flowing like a river. I've  been going through a pack of pads per day. I gained 13 lbs... after just 3 weeks. I've since lost the weight with diet and exercise. My biggest concern is the bleeding, I just want it to stop. I've also developed a cyst on my right ovary since taking this. I'm going to talk to my doctor about other birth control options. I will give it another  month but thats it. "


"I wouldn't even give this medication a 1 if I had a choice. I had my first DVT at 16 yrs old and just suffered another one at 21 years old a few months ago. I was prescribed the Xarelto pill and, 3 weeks later, suffered such severe internal bleeding as well as hemorrhaging externally that I almost bled to death. Luckily, the doctors performed 3 emergency surgeries that saved my life. I wouldn't recommend this medication to any females since I have yet to hear a bad case happening with males (but I could be wrong)."


"I've been on Paxil for about 8 years now. I take 10 mg a day. Paxil gave me my life back. I was incapacitated by fear before I started taking it. My panic disorder had progressed over 14 years to the point that I was afraid to go in other people's cars, to drive on the expressway, to fly in planes, of meetings at work, and the list goes on. Now after 8 years, I am capable of doing all those things. I'm still not crazy about flying but I do it. I don't think about what I'm afraid of all the time. It doesn't cross my mind anymore to be afraid. Only rarely. The only downside it the weight gain and memory issues."
