"I first got the Implanon after I had my son in 2011. It was great!!! I only had a period every 2-3 months and absolutely no other side effects. I got it taken out and another one inserted in September 2015 and everything was the same until September 2016. Everything changed. It started with my period but with that I became very nauseous, depressed, anxious, and worried. I was angry and upset and just wanted to stay in bed. Went to doctor and was given meds for depression and panic attacks but I knew something had to be the cause because I've never ever had these problems. I've had blood tests ran, Pap smear, and even ultrasounds on my Thyroid and abdomen. Nothing was found. After reading reviews on the implanon, it was removed last week!!"


"Reduced clusters from three every day to one every three to four days !!"


"I've been on this medicine for a little over two years. I started taking it to help with my acne. That's the one thing that's been consistent about it. When I started it in 2013, I bled for a month which was normal and then I stopped. It worked really well (only one period every three months) for about a year. Then my pharmacy gave me generic which screwed everything up. I broke out, bled heavily, and my hormones went crazy. After two weeks on generic I was forced to pay the fee to get the name brand back. Since then it hasn't been the same. My obgyn says it is because my body is immune to it. I start bleeding two weeks into the pack, spot all the way until my period, and then the process starts all over again. I have gained 20 pounds..."


"Did no one else experience what happened to me? I started on Oxybutynin 5 mg twice a day (oral); there was a significant improvement in bladder control. I used less pads and thinner-type pads. HOWEVER, the side effect I experienced was exceedingly annoying: my nose stayed stuffed up constantly; I'd wake up with cotton mouth; lips cracked and bleeding from not being able to breathe through my nose. It took a large application of Vicks Vaporub into my nostrils; pouring of hot water into them; holding hot washcloths on my sinuses for an hour at a time; and using inordinate amounts of saline sinus spray to finally clear my nose. When I stopped taking Oxybutynin, my nose became clear within a few days. Never again will I use Oxybutynin."


"Viibryd  is working well for me.  I changed from celexa to this drug due to not being effective anymore.  Initially it did give GI issues for about 4-5 days but then eventually went away.  Viibryd does has the least sexual side effects than the others. My dreams are pretty vivid with occasional well, I say not so pleasant dreams.  I went up to 40mg along with 300mg Lamitcal and 30mg Nortriptyline.   The Viibryd makes me a lot less sleepy than the celexa did.  So far all is well."


"I gave this a low rating as it has been the worst experience for me. I have my period 2-3 weeks out of every month and some months I have it the entire month. I get cramping for a week out of it. It is very effective as the "birth" control part of it. I've had it for almost 3 years and am due to get it removed soon. I waited this long because I didn't want to have to pay to remove it and figure something else out. No birth control has been great for me. So disappointing."


"I have MS and one of my symptoms is severe pain with muscle spasms.  It gets so bad as to completely debilitate me where I am unable to stand, sit for long periods of time and walk up or down stairs.  This medication is life saving for me.  It has allowed me to return my functioning so that I am mobile again.  I can walk up stairs, work out for short periods of time and live a fairly functional life were I can go to the store, walk around and attend family functions."


"My doctor put me on Cryselle after 3 years on Microgestin. I've been on Cryselle for 2 years now.

 I switched pills b/c of headaches, VERY tender breasts, and the pill causing zero libido (I'm not exaggerating).

 Cryselle improved my headaches, although I still have them they are not as bad.  Breasts are also not as sore, although Cryselle caused them to grow huge. Libido is better, but only by like 10% (which is generous).

Overall, my experience with Cryselle has been positive. Also, I haven't gotten pregnant so it obviously gets then job done!"


"Was prescribed Doxy for unrelated condition. Face began clearing of redness within the first week. Almost normal by second. Didn't expect this!"


"I don't seem to have as many problems as others. No weight gain. I have started exercise and diet and I have lost 20 lbs. My anxiety has recently flared slightly but other birth control pills have been worse. No periods for the year but now they are somewhat irregular. They started heavy but are getting lighter. My main complaint is that sometimes I have PMS symptoms for a couple weeks at a time when I am not having periods. But it does its job and it is really nice to not have to worry about pills or monthly refills!!!"


"I'm on the fence. I hope it is as amazing as it seems to be.  I took Harvoni for 6 months because I was a former non-responder to other treatment.
I got my first bottle about one month after the FDA approved the drug.  So looking back I believe I took it from fall of 2014 for six months ending in the spring of 2015.
I have been overweight all my life and as soon as I started taking it I began losing weight.  A pound or more a week... And it didn't stop after six months of treatment I continued to lose weight til I lost about 50 lbs  then I was steady weight for about a year and now have lost ten pounds without even knowing it. Now they are testing me for things like celiac disease.
I just can't get that out of my mind that it may be related"


"I have advanced prostrate cancer and have found that when I stop or delay a 90-day injection, my PSA climbs. From June 2010 (PSA over 350) through Jan 2013 (PSA 9) my cancer was controlled.  I suspended the shots for 18 months due to cost and my PSA climbed to 270. In 5 months, my PSA is at 4.2."


"I talked to my doctor about getting on the pill mainly for birth control. I also asked to be on a pill that will help clear my moderate acne and not make it worse. I was given Tri Lo Sprintec. After reading the mostly awful reviews about it I was really nervous to start taking it but I thought I'd give it a shot and if it was awful talk to my doctor about an alternative. I'm now on day 7 and there hasn't been any major complications. The only negatives are that I get headaches and occasional nausea (not severe) and as far as my acne, it hasn't really made a change. My doctor said it will take a few months to adjust so I'll see how things go but so far it's not too bad. Gave it half stars because I'm only on day 7."


"Very easy and successful prep wthout any side effects!"


"I've been on this for I think four months now? Before taking it I had a weird issue where I had spotting that lasted for months. By my first week on Falmina, the weird spotting went away. However, I started bleeding a few days before my first round of placebos, and then my first period on the pills was absolute hell. I missed classes due to excruciating cramps and uncontrollable bleeding. I used both NyQuil and Tylenol but still rolled with pain for the better part of a week. Despite that, every month since has been absolutely lovely. Since starting Falmina, my libido has risen considerably, which is nice for both me and my partner. On top of that, the pills have fixed the issue that I originally took them for. A  (except the bad period)"


"I'm on day 2 of this product and I "feel" a drastic difference. I am forever grateful to my doctor for prescribing this. 3 years ago I had the same issue and I suffered for 3 months with excruciating pain during my bowel movement to the point I added to my misery by holding it for up to a week at a time to suffer from as few painful bowel motions as possible all because I was to embarrassed to show this problem to my doctor. Never again  and I really thank the pharmacist for the coupon to bring my cost down to 40 dollars. There is a mild side effect I didn't have a headache more so painless throbbing in my head for the first 1-2 after application. I was still able to function and get through my clinicals without feeling faint or ill."


"Hello everyone; Let me say that upon using Spiriva the first time I noticed that I no longer have severe breathlessness (which developed from Pneumonia July 2012 fro surgery complications). Let me also say IMPORTANTLY if anyone has bronchitis in the lungs to please do whatever necessary to clear it up, if anyone smokes QUIT! Don't wait like I did to have a dangerous bronchial attack, in my case I was at the E.R to get a jet-nab treatment when it hit, was told had I been away from the hospital I wouldn't have survived, since that night 10/19/2011 I haven't touched one cigarette, not even one drag. I also concur that I'm not having to use my albuterol like I was."


"Within one day the frequent urination and restricted flow greatly improved ,  feel like I'm back to normal, thank goodness"


"I liked this medication at first, lost about ten pounds, no appetite, very calm, anxiety and snappiness gone! But the bad side effects which ultimately made me get off this medicine were tranced feelings, like in a coma, felt beige, people asked why I was so melancholy, no sex drive and sleepiness."


"100 mg Does not make penis hard enough"


"My first three months on this pill were like a DREAM. I switched to it from Orsythia (which I had been taking for 3 years) because I was having painful periods and my sex drive was gone. This pill completely stopped my period with NO spotting or anything, and never any cramps. No acne, no mood changes. My breasts even grew. I was so happy. Now I am on month 4 and it is hell. I'm having migraines and nausea all day, and bad mood swings. I am stopping this pill and going back to my OB."


"I've been on Methadone for 3.5 years. Currently at 90mg. I only have to go to the clinic every 2 weeks. When I started on it at the clinic I was in severe withdrawal. I never did heroine. I got methadone from a friend who went to the clinic weekly. After I was hooked it was all over for me. I had NO IDEA that it was that addictive until he was cut off and I could no longer get it. I only took about 20-30 mg a day then. But when he was cut off, I didn't know what to do. The withdrawal was just so awful and I still had to go to work full time.If I could do it over again,  I would just suck it up. Now I have this ball n chain and no end in sight. I had 2 kids on it too so I get to live with that guilt too. Don't do it as a 1st resort.Just DONT"


"I have had fibomyalgia for 20 years, I had become so ill l with  it all, and with zero mobility, my weight had raised to 23 stone.  A new doctor tried Ramipril on me and has been a miracle from above, have improved mobility and it made me loose my appetite and have lost two stones in 3 months."


"I had been suffering from depression, suicidal thoughts & tendencies anxiety and nerve damage. I went to a doctor who prescribed me cymbalta and I started on 30 mg. I was on it for about 1 week and I noticed I wasnt eating. I would have to tell myself to eat because I could go a whole day without eating anything. I noticed I did feel a little bit better in my ways but it wasnt enough to keep me motivated to do anything. So the second week I was put on 60 mg. I can say I have never been this motivated ever with school work going out with friends trying new things and actually participating in school. Im 4 weeks in now & ive never been better. Downsides: restlessness waking from sleep jitters and waves of feeling hyper."


"My urologist prescribed Toviaz 8mg timed release for symptoms of OAB (frequency, constant urge, etc.). I took it everyday for 25 days. I noticed a very small difference in frequency during the night, but nothing major. In the morning, I would actually have a stronger urge than before. After about 2 weeks on it, I started to feel very dizzy. I thought it was a cold or a migraine and kept taking the medication. After about a week of extreme dizziness and feeling slightly nauseous because of it, I realized it must have been the Toviaz. I stopped taking it and the dizziness passed within 24 hours. Also my mind cleared and I realized I had major brain fog on it. No other side effects though. Just not worth it for me. Perhaps I'll try again later"


"I was diagnosed in 2013 with Crohns. Pentasa has relieved my symptoms greatly. I take 500 mg 4 times a day. I find it works better for me when I take it with food. My only side effect is night quivers. Other than this,  Pentasa works wonders.  It's well worth my $55 copayment each month."


"Was put on Benicar 20mg twice a day after suffering a stroke, works great with other meds that I'm taking due to stents.  Tried other blood pressure meds, but none of them works as well as the Benicar"


"Blurred vision, medication did not help sinus issues."


"I started on Belviq late April 2016. I told my physician that I wanted to seriously lose weight & wanted something safe with not a lot of side effects to help me jump start the weight coming off.   He told me his patients that took Belviq had had good success. He is not the type of Dr. Just to préscribe whatever u want. He does his research and I did mine.

Today, is August 1st and I have lost 20 lbs. it's not a miracle pill, but Belviq's main purpose is to make your brain make your body feel not hungry.  I really have to work at planning out my meals.  The only side effect I have noticed is that I am tired/sleepy.  I sometimes have to drink a strong cup of coffee just to keep awake in the early evening when my husband comes from work."


"I was experiencing blurred vision, fatigue, loss of appetite, lack of concentration and an increased amount of severe headaches. After being checked for everything under the sun in blood work I was told I was fine. About a month later the headaches and the memory and concentration issues came along with more asthma attacks. My neurologist sent me for MRI, MRA and EEG nothing. He then sent me for a spinal tap which revealed I had pressure in my head double the normal.  This happened on Wednesday April 21st, 2010 (last week). I received a phone call from my neurologist who said I needed to start taking the medication immediately. I have had no appetite, consistent nausea, and I throw up on a regular basis. So I deal with it or have a shunt."


"Holy smoke ladies! So I am 26 and currently dealing with my first yeast infection.  After trying “natural remedies” for it I decided to bite the bullet and go give Monistat a try. After initially buying the Monistat 1 day and reading those terrible reviews, I decided to give the 7 day a chance instead. Nope. Bad decision. Tonight was the first night that I used the applicator to apply the cream and let me tell ya, these burning/itching reviews are 100% true. I am literally laying in bed shaking from the pain of the burning/itching sensation that is going on inside of my body right now. I’m not even sure what to do about it at this point. I feel like it is bearable, but there is not going to be much sleep tonight. Ladies, be prepared."


"I've struggled with bulimia (as well as depression/mood disorder) for about eight years now. I've been on Prozac three separate times (I quit taking it during my pregnancies) and I stop binging and purging every time I get back on it. It has also benefited my relationships and improved my parenting abilities. Every other medication I tried was just too hard on me, but Prozac doesn't affect me in any noticeably negative way."


"This is a terrible drug should not be sold it says light diaherria not true... It causes lots of severe stomach issues and terrible stools it's horrible don't ever use it"


"Been taking Concerta XL for a while with a steady titration from 18mg up to 81mg. I take it around 9am each morning and the first few hours are very restless. However by early noon say 1-2pm I go into a slow sometimes dragging comedown which makes me sleepy and therefore having a knap during the day. This leads to an almost sleepless night which can upset my brain in many ways.

Positives:

Alert, talkative, sociable and above all CONCENTRATE.

Negatives:

Jaw Clenching (gurning), sweaty, sleepless night (because of the midday knap)

All in all I have tried alteting dosage times in the morning and I can quite easily eat without feeling nausea. Weight loss is noticable but at a good stable rate. Many people have to give Concerta a chance."


" I'm on my 2nd round of necon 1/35. I started taking it because the doctor thinks I have endometriosis, but no one is really sure. My periods are extremely painful and I lose my appetite completely. The side effects of necon are the same as symptoms of pregnancy which is kind of alarming. I'm also even more depressed and anxious than I was before I started taking it. I take it without the placebo week and my period was lighter but longer. It's been two weeks and I've still had terrible pain."


"They worked for me and I had smoked for almost 40 years.  I occasionally got the hiccups, but they were better than Cancer."


"I took Mirapex for a couple of months with my severe restless leg syndrome. It seemed to help but I would wake up in the middle of the night and in the morning before work and have severe nausea and vomiting. I am now taking Requip and it has been doing the same thing. "


"I've had chronic insomnia most of my life, I took ambien 10mgs for 6 yrs it helped me so much to lead productive life, sleeping at night waking up in the morning with really no bad side effects, I don't live in the US anymore and ambien isn't available I think due the bad rap it gets by complainer"s, while people like myself who have benefitted from it aren't as likely to review a drug, they haven't had a problem with - just human nature. I've tried a whole host of anti-depresents & other sedatives 7-8 none are as effective and have more side effects than ambien"

"Switched from Kineret which I was on for 9 years and it wore out, then switched to actemra & was on it for 3 months, it did nothing for me, very little relief, & 40% of my hair fell out, I'm only 20 years old & I've had JIA since 7yrs old, still trying to find a remission drug"


"This Medication is good.  Feel so good that I do not feel the need to eat emotionally.  I care about myself again and I feel no need to eat poorly.  The only problem I am having is the side effects of being super itchy and I do get constipated."


"I found this to work very well for my nasal congestion. Under 15 minutes and I'm 98% clear for 8 hours allowing me to continue my workday. It works better and faster than other over the counter medicine I've tried.

"


"This is the first birth control pill I've ever been on and have no major complaints.  I'm a healthy height/weight and exercise regularly.  I just finished my third pack.  During the first month, I had breakthrough bleeding (as expected with most pills) off and on, but that was it.  My breasts are a little more tender, but it's nothing bothersome.  The pill definitely hasn't bothered my sex drive either.  I'm glad I stuck out the first month, because this pill has been great for me so far!"


"Librium is great. I fought depression for years so I drank around 24 pack per day I later then got pancreas problems went back on librium great product"


"I wish I could give this medication zero stars, and I am an RN. Prednisone has ruined my life. I was given prednisone for a severe viral lung infection (I have asthma) back in August 2016; I had a 104F fever for a week and lost almost 15 lbs. The doctor (with horrible bedside manner) had pressured me to take Prednisone (60 mg) in the office ...even-though I only came in for an I.V., due to severe dehydration. I was started on 60 mg (and was supposed to take 40 mg for the next 5 days). Little did I know that it can cause mania and psychosis (I have a history of depression). By the 2nd day I couldn't sleep (I kept talking, cleaning, and writing poetry) and had a manic episode, due to steroid psychosis (and I don't have a history of bipolar disorder). No one in my family knew what was wrong with me. I am WARNING any of you with a psychiatric history to avoid this medication and oral steroids at all costs. Due to taking Prednisone, I lost a full-year college scholarship (I'm studying laboratory science)... (due to being hospitalized) and my housing. I also lost a ton of hair, and it is super thin now. I had to be hospitalized 3 times in the span of the year due to this med causing  suicidal depression after the manic episode. It is depressing that I lost so much money due to copay medical bills amounting to 5k, and I cannot sue the doctor/outpatient clinic for the lost money and time, and my housing (was asked to move out due to mania/steroid psychosis). I will never take another oral steroid (even if I am on the brink of dying and I'd rather die instead). Taking prednisone has resulted in so much embarrassment and humiliation for myself. I have no idea what's worse...the 104F fever and coughing, or taking this medication. Take this medication at your own risk. DON'T LET ANY DOCTOR/FACILITY PRESSURE YOU INTO TAKING PREDNISONE OR STEROIDS."


"I had this birth control since March 30th 2015 and on April 9th the non stop bleeding started it is now June 6th and I'm still bleeding so my love and sex life has gone out the window but my boyfriend is very supportive . Other then the bleeding I am fine I just hope the bleeding goes away I might have to start the pill for a while"


"The only disappointments I've had with my Concerta (methylphenidate extended release) are its high cost and its propensity to become ineffective after one to two years. Otherwise, this is an excellent drug that should be used more often for difficult depression. It's made me feel like a functional human being again."


"Bronchitis - Worked fast."


"On day 1 of Viibryd I felt sick (i.e. diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps). The benefits definitely out ways the cons. My depression and anxiety has decreased significantly. I'll be hitting week 3 (40mg) of Viibyrd and I feel so much better. I don't think negative anymore or feel too sensitive about certain topics. I finally feel normal again because I have been battling with my depression. I will continue using Viibyrd."


"I had my first major depressive episode in the late 80's when my first child was a toddler.  I was put on 20 mg of Prozac and felt like I got my life back.  However, it seemed to quit working and the next 20 years I went through almost every SSRI there is as well as a couple of common anti-anxiety drugs and none of them seemed to work very well.  About 4 years ago I went back on Prozac and this time I was taking 60 mg for ocd.  It has worked quite well but I think my body is getting used to it again.  My doctor wants me to consider changing to Lovox.  I had thought I had already tried that in the past but I have to do something because I feel like I am slipping into the abyss again."


"At 75mg I did ok but was still depressed. If I miss a dose I get crying spells the next day (I take all my meds, 4, at night) at 150mg I started hearing things, unable to focus, and unable to hold urine - yes I learned that its a side effect. So am down to 75mg and am scared to change it but have expressed interest to my doctor. She added lithium and its helping (I also take tegretol and abilify) so overall, just do your own research before taking anything. Once you are on something you should NOT quit cold turkey."


"I have been taking Serax/oxazepam for 30 years for anxiety/panic attacks, works great! I started out on 10mg then after a few years was switched to 15mg. The past year or so I have been having trouble sleeping so the Dr. put me on 30mg to take only at night before bed which I do and it works great for sleep. So, I take the 15mg when I need them for anxiety and the 30mg only at night."


"It has shown some improvement in overall clearing of big toenail.  But after 6 months there are large pockets near the base of the nail showing no effects."


"Easy infusion. The best you can get. It gave me my life back!! No.....more.....flares!!"


"Almost 100 % reduction in hot flashes. Thank god!"


"This medicine is incredible. I had about four months of out of the blue, never had it before in my life terrible panic and anxiety. I was to the point I was throwing up every morning and constantly worrying and thinking about it. I finally went to the Dr. after crying and feeling miserable for days/months. She prescribed me Celexa 10mg to ween on (minimal side effects nauseous and a little more tired than usual, but I take it at night) then a month later I went to 20mg and I'm happy there. Absolutely no more anxiety or panic and I don't feel like an emotionless zombie I feel just like myself. My sex drive is normal just takes a bit longer to get there."


"I was very depressed during and after my pregnancy. Finally I found a good doctor and she prescribed Zoloft. I felt the difference from the beginning. I had some side effects but nothing major, however the only complaint I have is the weight gain. I take 25mg daily, a very low dose but I am getting very heavy. I've been taking Zoloft for almost 2 years and feel okay but not cured."


"Wonderful. First couple times it sorta wore off what I thought was too soon but that was my delivery that was wrong. After I got the hang of it works great. Easiest my day has been in a long time. Went to the store and didn't even carry my O2 with me and that's a big change for me because I am so Afraid not to have my 02 handy."


"These pills made me unimaginably tired! I could barely hold my eyes open at work the entire week, no matter how much sleep I got. They also taste awful & messed with my bowels a bit. Cleared up the odor & itch which is awesome:) Thankful to be fresh and able to drink again!!!"


"I have had nexplanon for just over 2 years.  Coming off depo, I didn't have a period for the first year on it.  And I loved it!  This past year, I have had periods that lasted a whole month, months without anything, SUPER heavy periods (to the point I was soaking through super plus in the matter of an hour or 2), extremely light periods,  2 periods in a month, having my period, being off of it for 5-7 days, and having another one.  I just made the appointment to remove it."


"I started phentermine on 8/29/2015. I started at 194 and am 5'6. As of today I am down to 172 and from a size 15 down to size 8. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a kick start to health. Meaning after the pill does what it needs to do you need to continue this life style change. Highly Recommended! I still have 20 more pounds to go and looking forward to it!!"


"I have only taken 2 doses so far.  It seems to be working and I don't have all the side effects.  I will use it again."


"I was so poorly I was shaking, sweating, cough, sore throat, sinusitis, migraine ... you name it! It hit me like a ton of bricks. After trip to out of hours doctor via 111 phone call I was prescribed these antibiotics. End of day 2 and I was feeling much better and by day 4 taking the medicine back at work and almost feeling fully recovered. Apart of a bad taste in my mouth and thirsty, no other side effect :)"


"My story is similar to others.  The first thing I would locate in a store or a restaurant was the bathroom because I knew I would have to go before we left there.  I even turned down job opportunities because the bathroom was too far away from where I would sit in fear that I wouldn't make it in time.  That is no way to live.  After a colonoscopy and stool lab results my doctor put me on Welchol, which I call the poop pill.  In my opinion, it is the miracle medicine.  I take 3 every night before bedtime and I have not had any more issues.  I can enjoy leaving the house and not worry about wearing white clothes.  I am one happy camper!"


"I'm 56, with six stents, and suffering from erectile dysfunction.  Took 20mg of Cialis.  No expectations.  It worked brilliantly.  Lasted longer, stayed harder, with a mild stuffy nose.  Took two pills over a 72 hr period.  Self-confidence, esteem, and performance is back!  She loved it too."


"I rated this a 8 - short of a 10 because of the cost.  The renewed vigor and energy is enough to score a 10.  To remedy the sticky feel; after application and the Testim is dry, apply corn starch (unscented baby powder) to a wash cloth and dust your shoulders.  The Testim scent is noticeable, but hardly unbearable and is often complemented on."


"was in the hospital ER forever ago.. extreme pain.. dr walked in looked at me.. gave the order.. and I had dilaudid injected into my thigh.. omg.. I could feel pressure but no pain.. none.. was so happy..

now.. I take dilaudid in pill form for chronic pain.. not nearly as effective.. but still good :D"


"Soma has helped so much with spasms with my low back and leg problems. I take 4 times a day for past 7 years and works wonders. My back problems require pain medicines sadly. But Soma is great. I'm allergic to Flexeril and Skelexin and Soma works much better than Robaxin, at least for me. "


"Caused hair loss, moods were crazy- very anxious and memory loss.  After 8 weeks the weight loss is not worth it. 5lbs and I bet that was just in hair loss! "


"Genuinely would not recommend this as a form of birth control. have had it in for almost a year, first few months were okay, but it's gradually got worse, I'm constantly on my period, I've got acne, I'm tired, I've gained weight & it's impossible to shift. How I feel on it affects me the most, I'm emotional & moody and feel like crap! it's taken my sparkle away. no girl wants that. have booked app to get it out. never again."


"This medicine clears up bronchitis quickly and I give it two thumbs up."


"I had an outer ear infection..These drops made my left ear feel clogged up and ringing in my ear and ear pain. I would not recommend this medicine.  I'm hoping it is temporary. .."


"I was given long-acting gabapentin during a clinical study and it was extremely effective but has not been approved by the FDA yet for hot flashes.  "


"I am 9 weeks and was prescribed Keflex. It has worked, however I have also had major diarrhea everyday. Other than that, no other side effects for me.."


"I've been on this pill for 2 months and have seen decent acne results. Now it hasn't cleared up completely and I still get pimples. Be aware if you have scarring, it will get worse before it gets better. I'll probably switch to Ortho Cyclen after month 3 if the acne isn't completely gone. The top ones I would recommend you for acne: 1. Yasmin, 2. Ortho Cyclen 3. Diane 35. Hope this helps anyone with hormonal acne/ has had it since high school like me and is now in her junior year of college."


"High Cholesterol (425 total) for all adult life-diagnosed at 35, went thru every LDL

Still working on building strength and staying healthy!

"NOT WORTH THE SIDE EFFECTS!! Seriously. My GP gave me Alesse because she had some packets that were sent to her for free. I thought "Hey why not" and took them. Well, second month was the worst. Gained probably 10lbs because I was constantly hungry. Became lethargic and it made me more depressed. That went away in the third month. Then the acne started. As someone who was on accutane and had relatively pimple-less skin, this pill brought up old wounds. Turns out this pill which is often persrcibed to TREAT acne, is one of the worst BC that causes acne. My skin is now 10x more oily and i have painful zits on my cheeks, chin and lips. Also my boobs have gotten bigger which I hate. The pill also causes me really bad cramps & my period was off."


"My initial QbTest score was 99. I was prescribed Vyvanse 20mg but was supposed to be taking 3/day. I misunderstood and only took 1 early in the morning on the day of my follow up test. I have Nuvigil that I take occasionally for shift work sleep disorder. I took one to help stay alert on my afternoon drive to the follow up test. My QbTest score dropped from 99 to 12. I am sure that the Nuvigil is responsible because the Vyvanse was taken at the lowest dose and several hours outside the time window."


"I have had 2 Paraguard IUDs. Took the 1st one out to get pregnant, got the 2nd after my daughter was born. Both times, I had heavier periods, but it seemed better than hormonal birth control that makes me crazy. After 2 and a half years, I started having strange side effects. Lots of acne, dry skin, swollen lymph node, anxiety, depression, trouble sleeping, hopelessness. My doctor said that my swollen lymph node is associated with the liver. My acupuncturist said she thought I had liver congestion. I researched excess copper in the body. ALL. MY. SYMPTOMS. Had it removed within 2 days. Felt immediately better. My acne started healing within a few days. Not feeling depressed anymore. It was great until it wasn't."


"I was diagnosed with Rosacea over 20 years ago in college but it never really got bad until about two years ago. Orange-peel skin, redness and bumps were a lot more prevalent on my forehead,cheeks and chin. Soolantra was given to me by the 4th dermatologist I saw and within a week(hard to believe but true), all of my symptoms were so much better. He added Metrocream at my 6week follow up to help with redness, but honestly I think the Soolantra is the miracle cream.  I have my younger complexion back again. And the company provided a $25 coupon to cover the entire cost each month"


"After trying SSRIs and other medicines, I have finally found Buspar and it has changed my life in less than two weeks! I have had mild to moderate anxiety for a few years and now that I'm taking Buspar (I only need 15 mg/day in divided doses). I feel normal again and my mood is more positive and I laugh/am happy more even in this tough economic time! No major side effects. The first couple of days it made me a little tired and that's it. Really started noticing changes about 8-9 days I could feel a huge difference and the anxiety is GONE!  This is a safe medicine to take (non habit forming) and I would recommend it to anyone.  It has change my life, thank you Buspar."


"I had Nexplanon for 3 years, and it was an absolute nightmare. I bled at least 25 days out of the month, and I gained 20+ pounds over the last 3 years with no change in diet or lifestyle. I'm an ER nurse and I always ask my patients with Nexplanon about their experience and at least half of them report frequent bleeding as well. Rated it a 2 instead of a 1 because I didn't get pregnant while it was implanted."


"Finally got my Skyla IUD taken out today. I immediately felt better afterwards, bye bye acne, weight gain, and depression! Only good thing about Skyla was that I didn't have a period. That's it. I wish it worked for me but everybody's different!!! Going natural for a while so my body will relax without all the hormones I've had. Me and my boyfriend choose not to have sex anyway! Good experience, DEFINITLEY learned what my body doesn't like. If I do get on birth control again I'm going back to Loryna pills."


"I love this medicine! I was recently released from the hospital after doing a 1 week stay. Diagnosed with BPD and anxiety. This medicine is prescribed for me 50 mg 4 times a day. I don't take it unless truly needed during the day. This is my first time being on psychotropics. I take this along with Seroquel, Zoloft and Naltroxene. I've had maybe 4 panic attacks since being out of the hospital. I had them because I went to work the day after being released and I work in a sales environment. I didn't have my medicine on hand like I should have. I do notice that when I bring it, and take it. I am not sleepy, very mellow and even and relaxed. Thoughts are clearer and conversations more direct."


"Been on Invokana since August 20, 2013. I've lost 36 pounds since then & been able to discontinue taking my glimepiride (within 3 days of starting the Invokana), cut my metformin in half to 1000mg in the morning only, & have begun cutting the insulin from 30 units at bedtime to 20 or less. I still take Victoza in the morning. My A1c has gone from 10.2 to 7.6 and my triglycerides are near the top of the normal range. I have tried Bydureon & Byetta, but Invokana has been the first real successful medicine to help get my diabetes under control. Along with healthy eating choices & exercise, I am under 300lbs for the first time in too many years to count. If I can do this, so can you!"


"It seemed okay. I was more alert than when using oxycodone. After three weeks, the side effects outweigh the positives. It was more psychotic than I had planned. After the 75 mg dose wore off, the drop off was steep. I felt very agitated and somewhat aggressive. Similar to prescribed amphetamine or steroid. It makes me so agitated that I have decided to go back to the Oxy. I also experienced some respiratory distress and diminished vision. Good try as an alternative but it is not for me. Kadian had similar reactions."


"I had skyla inserted a year ago. Having it inserted was not pleasant. There was some heavy cramping and I was bleeding/spotting for the next two months or so but since then my periods have been light if I have them at all my acne has almost completely cleared up. I have not gained any weight, I have lost some (though not on purpose). Besides my partner sometimes feeling the strings and some bleeding during sex, as well as some painful cramping from time to time it's been good. No kids yet haha."


"Reading the reviews. I'm really jealous of those light period no crampers. I've only been taking Orysthia for 5 weeks and at first it wasn't too bad. I noticed significant weight gain during the past 2 weeks and am on my first period on birth control. They are killer. I have never experienced cramps this bad. I get sharp pains in my back, legs, shoulders, and stomach. Everyone's body is different and this pill isn't working for me."


"I am 20 years old, I took two of these women's laxatives. These things are  DEADLY. I was on my way to my college tuition class,I took them three days prior I literally pooped my pants on the way there I was vomiting out of my car window I thought I had the flu I had forgotten about these laxatives I had taken I later changed and took my test. LOn my way home, I pooped my pants AGAIN I was crying and went home changed and layed on my bed and violently vomiting for hours. I fell asleep, and, I pooped my bed! I went to er, tested laxatives were out of my system! Two weeks later, I am still pooping my pants! Idk what to do I hope these have not caused irreparable damage. I reported to FDA as did my hospital. Please don't take them!!!!"


"I actually really enjoy this birth control. It's been the first and only birth control that I've tried, and I can't complain. I didn't gain weight, my acne didn't get worse or better, my sex drive is fine and really I didn't have any of the awful symptoms that typically accompany birth controls. The only thing that did happen to me, was when I first began using Lo Loestrin, I had a different mood each week for the first month. One week I'd be sad, the next mad, the next happy, so on and so forth until my body got accustomed to what was happening. Now it's like I'm not even on anything!"


"Overall, Aviane works pretty well. My periods are average and I have had no weight loss or gain. The one side effect I have had is terrible acne! My face was pretty much clear when I started (I'd get minor breakouts around my period, but nothing bad). Within a couple of months of being on Aviane, my cheeks started breaking out really badly. I've never even had acne on my cheeks. It's painful and there's scarring. I've tried staying on it in hopes that my body would adjust and the breakouts would stop, but they've only gotten worse. "


"I've been struggling with depression and anxiety/panic attacks since I was a kid. I'm now 36. I tried every antidepressant they threw at me from Celexa to Zoloft. None of them worked and came with side effects I couldn't handle. Weight gain and loss of sexual function. When my psychiatrist suggested Wellbutrin I was afraid of more side effects, but I was desperate. I also take Valium and Klonopin for my anxiety so I'm not sure if those might mask any increased anxiety, but I have to say, I noticed a difference the first day. I take 200mg SR in the morning and I've got more energy and almost no interest in smoking, which is a bonus. It's only been a week but I feel an improvement every day. I think I finally found the right one."


"I have had 81 infusions. I have tried all other injectable multiple sclerosis medications without much success. Although the PML is in the back of my mind, I keep plugging away every month. I have a wife and four children and a safety sensitive job. I function just like any other 43 year old man (playing golf, mowing my own yard, etc). I really don't think it would be possible without Tysabri. For me and my family, we feel that it is worth the risk. I am JC virus positive also."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"can I just say, these horror stories got me so worked up I was dreading this prep, the reality is its NOT THAT BAD!!!. Ok so the drink isn't great, like a salty lemonade ( I find the cranberry powder things disgusting too but if I've got a water infections I drink it!).

I found the 1st litre easier to drink than the 2nd,with the 1st one I used a whisky size tumbler and drank it through a straw at room temperature. I drank it all within half an hour and it started working within the hour. The 2nd litre took longer,I used a bigger glass and filled it with ice, I found it harder to drink cold and the larger glass never seemed to empty so you feel like your going forever!

Don't be put off by the scary stories!"


"I have suffered with pain for many years and have tried almost everything. I started Opana in January of this year.  In February my platlet count dropped to 3,000 with an equally low white count. This happened again in May. I have also had many gastrointestinal problems. The doctors after many tests can only say that Opana looks like the cause."


"2 pills 3x day- 5 days. Got 4 wisdom teeth removed. Day 1- 1st dose, pills were hard to swallow and a few minutes after I took the pills I got an upset stomach. 2nd dose was about the same but I got a rash on my face (cheeks). 3rd dose stomach pain got a little worse. Day 2 stomach pain got even worse with every dose. Day 3 morning dose was unbearably painful in my esophagus/stomach. Called my doctor and he told me to stop taking pills. I figured stomach/esophagus pain would go away since I'm not taking pills but its been 6 days since I stopped taking pills and I still have pain. A lot of pain when I eat and burp. Pain feels like a tightening and burning in my chest every time I swallow. "


"I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and was prescribed lamictal to stabilize my moods. I was having explosive reactions on a daily basis and morning depression. Today I wake up feeling content and happy. My mood episodes have greatly subsided and I feel like I can handle frustration a lot better. Also my relationship with my boyfriend has improved because of much less fighting and explosions on him. This medication is very helpful. Only side effect was some headaches and diarrhea."


"I'm 43 and smoked since 18.  I tried the patch and gum and could not last more than a week.  I tried Chantix and it was mind blowing.  Nothing really changed but after the first 2 or 3 days of taking it Cigs just tested awful and I didn't get that "cig fix".  It got to a point where it was just why bother?  I stopped for a month right off the bat.  I stopped taking my meds early as I thought I was "cured".  Mistake.  I didnt really want another cig until I went drinking.  Even then the urge was not too much but just made a bad decision while drunk and thought I missed it.  I really didnt and got back and finished my supply of Chantix.  For me the only side effect were dreams.  Very very weird and crazy dreams.   It worked for me."


"This worked amazing with my son. Our biggest problem was he didn't want to eat and lost a lot of weight."


"I just started lolo 2 weeks ago and so far, I've gained a significant amount of weight. I have a fast metabolism so anything I eat gets shredded off the next day.  On this birth control, I went from 100lbs to (currently) 112lbs. I will continue to stay on it to see if it'll balance out but if the weight increases more, I will be stopping."


"I was hesitant about getting the implant but I've had for 3yrs after the birth of my daughter. It's 99% effective. My only discrepancy with it is that you go through stages of depression and your mood changes constantly. I notice now that I have to get in replaced on Dec. 27, 2015 that it's wearing off and I'm slowly becoming myself again. If the FDA can work out that flaw I would continue getting Nexplanon."


"I've been on Loestrin 24 FE for two years now. I have a moderate case of endometriosis and this has been fantastic. The first two, maybe three months on it were a little iffy- I experienced nausea and emotional problems, but significantly less pain. Everything's been peachy ever since. I only need to take one or two Midols to get through each period."


"I have had back problems for almost forever.  Recently, my doctor preferred me to take an over-the-counter instead of Celebrex because of potential heart-related issues.  I tried to do so, but my condition did not get better.  I used Celebrex and it helped very much.  Sometimes less is more:  I needed less Celebrex (6) versus lots of the other stuff."


"I am a 42 year old mother of 1. I had Mirena inserted in 2007 after I was done breast-feeding. I absolutely LOVED Mirena until recently. I didn't have to remember to take the pill daily and I felt it was the best way to prevent another pregnancy. A couple of months ago, I had a new one inserted after months of my husband complaining about the strings poking him. I don't know what made me look into it, but I realized that over the past 4 years I have gained over 35lbs.,my sex drive is almost non-existent, I am often dry during intercourse. I want to run to the ObGyn, but have to wait until next week to it removed. If you get one, be aware of your body's response to it following insertion."


"In 2009 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. 2 tumors.  Underwent 42 treatments of radiation.  My choice over surgery.  Had 2 shots of Lu pron  6 months apart to kill the testosterone and help the radiation do the job.  Cancer gone and PSA tests less than 1 ever since.  Started taking Rapaflo   8mg every night and it helped me sleep at least 3 or 4 hours without having to get up to the bathroom so often.  I think the radiation hurt my bladder and the result was frequent urination. Anyway to the point.  The Rapaflo works but I cannot experience a normal ejaculation.  But when I quit taking the Rapaflo for a week or more I can with ext ream pain, both from the penis and the area of the prostate.  It is a burning sensation.  Have tried twice."


"I have suffered long term post trauma depression. Recently I ended up in a hospital for mental health. My psychologist decided to add Abilify 5 mg a day, I also take Lustral 100mg. Abilify started to work within 5 weeks. Brilliant. Before this medicine I was on the verge of suicide. Long may this good feeling last."


"Plan b really did its job and saved my butt. I have used absolutely no contraceptive as well as letting my bf finish inside me. I know I was not very smart or safe but it was just in the moment after not seeing him for a few months. I took plan b around 4-6 hours after the fact. I had no side effects maybe a little nausea but after a few seconds it was gone. I got my period at the expected date as well. Do not be as negligent as I was and even though plan b did save me I would not fully count on it because it is in fact quite scary. Save yourself the stress and paranoia and think before you act."


"WOW is all can say. This allergy medication works great. It's for 24 hour relief and I don't sneeze anymore. I have bad allergies to cats but I love them so much, except they almost caused an asthma attack because of my allergies, once I was prescribed Xyzal ALL the symptoms went away. This is like the miracle for allergy relief, it doesn't make me drowsy at all but it's different for each individual I guess. It stops your eye itching, nose dripping, sneezing and wheezing."


"Good drug"


"Why is this medication even approved to give to anyone?!  Oh yah, so the drug companies can get rich.  1 dose of this medication, I had severe diarrhea, vomiting for a week!  STAY AWAY FROM THIS MEDICATION. Doctor does not care about side effects.  Uuuuuuuuggggg!"


"A little tired some mornings which can occasionally last during the day.  As a medicine, it is amazing, makes me strong mentally and relaxed."


"Likes:
- Did not gain any weight, which is what I was most afraid of after reading the reviews. I actually lost 6 pounds by eating healthy food and exercising three times a week.
- Even though I still get my period, I don't get any painful cramps anymore. Anyone who knows what it feels like to be in such pain that all you can do is curl up in a ball, will understand that that's a HUGE benefit.
- It's nice to be able to be spontaneous.

Dislikes:
-I've had some spotting off and on since I got the Nexplanon. It's more annoying than anything else. But it is REALLY annoying."


"Entyvio has been miraculous. Very close to getting my colon taken out, we decided to try Entyvio. After using Remicade, Humira and many other options, it's the only thing that's worked for me."


"amazing medication"


"I was on this for 2 months. It helped with anxiety, but wasn't worth the side effects. I gained weight, dry mouth, sleeplessness, and worst of all, little to no sex drive. If I thought of sex, it just seemed like work. When I did have sex with my girlfriend, I couldn't have an orgasm."


"Plaquenil has given me back my quality of life. I think I've been on it for about 3 years now.  However, I've recently stopped taking it as I am having flashes in one eye and don't have the money to see a retina specialist - or an eye Dr. for that matter.  Now that I have stopped the medication, I am back to having constant pain throughout my body - especially in my joints...and in my bones, and I am exhausted and sleep a lot without feeling rested.  As soon as I get my eyes checked and if my exam shows good results, I will be back on Plaquenil immediately."


"I have been told I have polycystic ovarian syndrome, my period was never normal. If go to a year without bleeding then all of a sudden I started bleed for 5 months straight. Being overweight my doctor told me I would have to take two Depo-Provera shots so I did. I continued to bleed heavy and hard and very painful so I decided to find another doctor and he prescribed my Mononessa. I stopped bleeding in one week and when it was time to take the last 7 pills I was nervous to take because I didn't want to bleed but my period came and it was so light no cramps just a little moody. So glad I finally found something that truly works for me."


"(I'm 21, no kids, with IUD-1 year, 5 months) As the Dr. inserted the Skyla, let's just say it was the worst pain I've ever felt in my life, he had to cut out scar tissue for some reason that I don't know, while awake and felt everything! After insertion I had the worst cramps for the first view months. Dr had told me at about 6 months if I notice I don't have a period, to not worry. My period stopped at 7/8 months started once more after that and then nothing. I will bend over and I feel a pain in my uterus, or in other ways, I feel it all the time. I read an article where a woman at 23, had to get a hysterectomy because the IUD grew to her endometrium, which is scary, b/c I want lots of kids. So I decided to get it removed very soon!"


"Have chronic back pain bulging disc in L1 and S5 along with lumbar thinning  due to osteoarthritis which I have in my hands knees and ankles, also Fibromyalgia. I am prescribed 6 daily 10/325 Vicodin.   When I have a"Flare up" they do not work. Doctor called this in for me 10 mg.  I just took the 1st pill about an hour ago and  I am pain free.   Unfortunately he will not put me on this medication regularly, this is just to get me through until I can get another MRI to make sure nothing has changed in my spine. "


"Imitrex nasal sprays changed my life. I developed migraines when I was about 13 years old. At that time the doctor would simply prescribe pain killers for treatment, but they did nothing. They only helped me sleep for a few hours and then I would wake back up to the headache again.  After seeing a neurologist I was prescribed Imitrex. I have tried all three forms of the medication, the pills did not work as well for me because I always vomit with a migraine.  I simply did not get enough doses with the injections to last a month, only two in a prescription.  But with the nasal sprays, I receive 6 each month and they work GREAT."


"I am a 57 year old female who would HIGHLY recommend this medication. I am taking the pill twice daily and I found it worked on the second day. I don't make 50 trips to the bathroom daily, no more concerns about when I sneeze or cough. It has changed my life drastically! I would recommend this to anyone who has incontinence problems."


"I get about 2-3 flare ups per year,  always in the side of my big toe(s). Dr. prescribed Colcrys 0.6 mg - I honestly don't get any relief that I can tell from this medication. I take 1 every hour for a max of 3 pills over 3 hours ...  Seems like the ONLY relief I can get is by flushing my body with tons of water - which can take 3-4 days."


"I would like to share my experience with LORazepam - I have Breast Cancer which entailed a right side mastectomy and axillary node dissection (painful) where I am on Hyrdocod 10/300's for pain. I am on my 4th extensive Chemo where the first 5 days after Chemo every food smell causes severe nausea where I cannot eat - I just want to cover my nose. They had me on Compazine (really needs to be off the market at it is a useless drug - did not work during my pregnancies either that and phenergan) - they put me on Zofran - all this did was want to make me sleep with no relief relative to nausea.  After consulting with my Oncologist he placed me Lorazepan and would you not know as soon as I took - within 15 minutes the nausea feeling gone!"


"I still use this medicine as a standby as it reduces the itching associated with jock itch.  I may have picked up a resistant strain as the doctor has prescribed a new cream with betamethasone dipropionate and clotrimazole mixed in as a base.  I hope this works"


"I just started taking Belviq 7 days ago. So far I have not experienced any troublesome side effects. I will say that I have felt tired and in the first days I did have a slight headache. Other than that it's been easy. Also I started out at 255lbs and now am at 247lbs. So I guess it's working."


"Been on Angeliq for 2 years now All hot flushes disappeared within 3 days! Hallelujah feel human again!!!!    Felt great for a year lots of energy only problem was my breasts went up 2 cup sizes! I then decided to take half a tablet and after a month my breast reduced back to normal! ....For the second year I found I had vertigo!  Also I felt a shaking inside my body like I had swallowed a mobile phone on vibrate the doctor said it could be anxiety which comes with the menopause!  Vertigo is one of the rare side effects with Angelic so asking my doctor to find a low dose of another Hrt hope this works!

Will let you know later how this works out!"


"Have taken this medication for over a year.  Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) well within normal range. Slightly elevated bilirubin. Only side effects are mild to moderate hand foot syndrome, some fatigue and nosebleeds due to low platelets. It is important to note that I have never done IV chemo, so my results may be different from others."


"It has greatly helped with my ability to sleep."


"I am recovering from an opiate addiction, and was prescribed Seroquel for sleeplessness (due to it not being a habit forming drug). It has been very effective for me, however I must take it, or cannot sleep."


"I'm starting my second week of six weeks for a spot on my chest. I thought it was an allergic reaction after the first night I took it. My entire chest is covered in red swollen, now crusty welts that are painful. The dr said those are all cancerous cells he couldn't see with the naked eye and it's good that it's bringing them out. Honestly, I don't know if I can make it 6 weeks. The pain is bad, I'm naseauss all day, I have achy muscles and feel tired. I have a high pain tolerance so for me to be so bothered is unusual. I know it's working, too well. I'll try and stick it out, what's my alternative? I also have to wear shirts that cover up to my neck it's so bad."


"I am 17 and this is my first time having a YI and it's my first night. I'm using the 7 day cream thing and I am  feel like I'm  dying! I haven't stopped crying since I inserted this stupid cream! It doesn't burn but  it itches so bad ! It's 12:30 and I'm still up! "


"My high functioning autistic son was placed on this medication to help control his anger and aggression. Instead it has made him worse. The only positive effect of this medication is that it helps him sleep past 5am. His anger and aggression and impulsiveness are just out of control. He was then put on Vyvanse to help with ADHD and there are no changes worth noting."


"This product changed my life. I had terrible acne and it made my life miserable. I tried SO many things and not one thing worked. But I heard about Accutane and had to try it. I went to my doctor and got started. Within three weeks, my skin was almost flawless. I couldn't even believe it. I went on it for six months, and I didn't have one single pimple while on it. It's been a little over a year since I've been off it, and I get some zits here and there but NOTHING compared to what it was before I started Accutane. It is a real miracle and my life has changed so much for the better since. BEST THING EVER! Only side effects I EVER had were dry lips and two nose bleeds."


"Overall a good birth control to take. I have been using for 3 months and period is lighter with no cramps, don't get mood swings just a little sensitive a day before period. First few weeks I felt nauseous in mornings an head aches on and off but then they went away. No weight gain so far, boobs got a little bigger. A downside is I have been breaking out when usually I have no acne at all. So far very reliable because not pregnant"


"All statins gave me severe flu-like symptoms of muscle aches, fatigue, etc. After two months using only repatha, my overall cholesterol was reduced from 248 to 82, tri-glycerides from 276 to 107 and LDL from 166 to 30 with no side effects"


"I've been on Suboxone, Buprenorphine/Naloxone, & straight Buprenorphine. I find it to definitely help. I am clinically disabled because of my pain issues (Pudendal Nerve Entrapment, Juvenile Degenerative Disc throughout my neck & back, SI Joint issues, & a congenital fusion in my neck.).  I've been on some form of this medication or the other for roughly 2.5 years. At first, I no longer had pain, but after about 5 months it slowly came back. However, it still isn't typically as bad as it was when I was on HIGH doses of morphine & Vicodin. I would GLADLY take this before those any day of week! Buprenorphine products have done more for me (taking it EXACTLY as prescribed) than anything else ever has!"


"Changed my life completely, I can actually function in social settings."

"This med is a life saver I could not believe how quickly it worked. I feel great. I exercise at pulmonary maintenance X. 2 wk walking tread 30 min. I used to be short of breath, now I can walk. Carry groceries and it's 1 puff a day. Thanks to GlaxoSmithKline for making ANORO. Hopefully many people will be helped and get relief from this very debilitating disease. There is nothing worst in life than struggling to breath"

"Just got done with Suprep yesterday. Had to take 1st dose at 3pm. Didn't look up reviews. First gulp yuck! I had to mix the bottle w/cold water to make 16oz. I started whining about needing to finish it. I did and hoped I didn't barf it up. Started drinking the required 32oz of liquid. I chose water and apple juice. In 40 min. it worked. Neverending toilet trips. My bottom was on fire even using Vaseline. 9pm and I have to do it all again. I wanted to cry; the taste, the endless toilet trips, the raw rear end"


"Hi! I've been taking YAZ since 2008 and I've had no issues at all! Very clear skin, no weight gain, little to no period, no changes in my personality or mood... nothing! Only time I came off was when we were TTC :-)"


"I was on Levothyroxin (generic of Synthroid) for 3 years. It gave me terrible facial acne and my weight fluctuated in an 8 pound cycle up and down. I plateaued at a certain weight. I started Np, and the acne went away immediately, but I've gained 8 pounds over that plateau in 2 months and the cellulite on my legs doubled. I have no idea if this is related but it seems too coincidental. Still super tired. Irritable. Occasional leg cramps."


"I had strep throat and got put on amoxicillin and got a yeast infection, which happens basically every time I take an antibiotic. Got the Equate  brand and it was around $15. It has the cream, some soothing wipes and the capsule you shoot up in your V. It's one day and you use it day or night. I'm not doing anything for the next 4 hours so I figured I'd just do it and get it over with so I can get some relief. The itching from my YI isn't bad. I used the soothing wipes first, then applied the cream to the outer parts, and then inserted the dreaded capsule . Instant relief. I've never used the Monistat brand because I'd rather pay less so I can't help with that but the Equate seems to be getting the job done."


"Let me start off saying that this birth control is the worst. I have been taking it for a year now and I have never felt worse. The first 4 four months were okay I didn't notice any bad side effects except for minor cramps everyday. After about five months it started to get worse. I have gained 15 pounds and it's extremely noticable. All I crave is junk food. I'm way more irritable. And all the time. The week before my period is horrible. I often get bad PMS before my period. But the pill amplified it. It's even effected my sex drive, which is now non existent. The pill works for pregnancy prevention. But I would not recommend taking it."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been taking Pradaxa for about three months and apart from the occasional heartburn, usually quite mild, I have had no real side effects other than a little more gas, but have felt much better in general and really appreciate the ability to eat green vegetables and not have the blood tests required by Warfarin. I have not had any bleeding problems and scratches seem to stop bleeding much more quickly than when using warfarin and no bruising.  I shall continue to use Pradaxa as long as my doctor is happy with the treatment."


"I have been taking Celexa 20MG for a few years and found it to be quite helpful in the beginning. It is true I have heard that Celexa is one of the better medications out there for depression, with little side effects. I haven't experienced much side effects until now. In fact I just came back from seeing my psychiatrist this afternoon and I told him about the side effects I was having. He suggested I clean my system of the medication for 2 weeks and come back to see him in 2 weeks to see if I am still suffering the side effects. At this point in time, I haven't quite decided what I want to do. If anything, I might want to lower the dosage to 10MG."


"I like Adderall for my ADHD a lot.  It keeps me focused and I am able to concentrate and accomplish the things that I need to get accomplished, also it helps me with my depression a lot because it makes me feel more happy and motivated."


"A few years before I went through menopause. I used to have incredible pain, headache and felt like my Lymph Nodes were going to burst out of my throat 3 days before my menstruation and when I started to take this it worked totally. I had tried all kinds of pain killers but nothing made any difference. My doctor had prescribed it for my back pain originally. So one day I decided to try take it for my menstrual pain and was amazed that it worked so well for my Lymph Nodes and headache as well."


"I have used fiorinal for years and had no problems, however my migraines have gotten worse over the last few months. I took a 100 mg imitrex yesterday and the side effects were terrible. My neck, head, throat, shoulders all became tight and felt as though I was "high" per se. I finally had to go up to bed and calm myself. I slept for 5 hours and woke up feeling groggy. If I need to take it again I will break it in half. It was a scary feeling. They only gave me 6 pills, thank goodness. I will stick with the fiorinal and a cup a coffee."


"Amazing medicine!  My doctor finally took me of Seroquel and put me on an upped dose of Latuda making my dosage 160 mg instead of 80 mg. I feel great and never better. I've lost 20 lbs in a month! Now I'm stuck at this weight but I did lose most of the weight I gained before.  It definitely makes me sleepy but I've heard this goes away soon as your body adjusts.  As for the nausea I've found eating small amount before and larger portion after taking the medicine and following it with a ginger pill and milk helps to stop it."


"I have taken this medication 4 times. I am definitely eating more than I did on Trulicity or Victoza. I am afraid to look at the scale. I crave sugar. Does this happen to anyone else? Does this change? I am nervous I will put back on all the weight I lost in the past 7 months. I do not have the terrible heartburn that I had on Trulicity though."


"I'm 17 and my boyfriends condom broke during sex like most. Being my age a child is not something we need right now. I was very panicked and immediately got the pill. After reading many reviews on it I took it about 4 hours after the mishap. The only side effect I had was tender breasts. I got my period on my exact due date! This pill works! I promise you. Don't worry it will be okay !"


"This is literally a nightmare for your skin. On the week where you aren't taking the pill, my skin literally dried up. And almost immediately on the first day of taking the the pill after the break week, I will wake up the next morning with a cyst or two on my chin. I am done using this for good. Destroys your skin."


"I didn't have a runny nose or cough which I told my doctor,just a very sore throat, ear pain, fatigue and fever. He prescribed me the Benzonatate caps 100mg and as directed I took them and 3 days later still feel the same No different. The pills have started to make me cough but not bad. Sometimes after taking the pills I fall asleep and wake up because I can't breathe. I don't feel it's helped me at all."


"Flecainide has given me my life back. I have had NO side effects....maybe the first week or two it didn't take effect immediately.. but I love this med. It has changed my life for the better after suffering from long bouts of atrial fibrillation.."


"I am 22 and have been using the Nuvaring for almost 3 months.  At first I loved it.  It was so convenient.  I always forgot to take the pill so I wanted to try something that I could forget about.  I'm not experiencing anything extreme but I am not a very emotional person but sense I have started the Nuvaring I am either extremely happy or something little will make me cry or want to throw a fit.  I realize it so I can usually get myself stopped but sometimes its too late!  Also I have been very tired.  I am not completely sure this is because of the ring but I think it is.  Also I am bloated all the time and I never used to be!  I wouldn't say this product is horrible but for me it isn't worth the inconvenience either."


"I have been on this medication for one month and my cystic acne is completely gone as a result, but it didn't clear up completely until week 3. I give this a 10 for the results. However, there is a long list of bad side effects for this medication and I suffered many of them. I had severe stomach pains. The pain wouldn't last long but it came on quick and strong before stopping. I also had some digestive issues, and an upset, gurgling stomach non-stop for the first week or two. I also got bad headaches and had no appetite for two weeks. It also made me nauseated at first. After week two, the side effects stopped, but it was a rough start."


"I've been on Saxenda for 1 month and lost 15 pounds. But I do eat well. I like that I don't have any craving but I started to have rash where I inject so I have to go see my doctor. It itch, it looks like a skin reaction. I hope I won't have to stop. I'll keep you posted!"


"I have been on 100mg/day for over four years. Zoloft has helped me feel "normal" for the first time in my life. My emotions are balanced. I do not worry excessively and I no longer cry at inappropriate times; at work, in public places, parties, etc."


"I got my skyla inserted last Thursday April 23, 2015 today it's been a week after insertion. Placing the skyla was an intense pain for myself. Lots of craming and pressure which was very uncomfortable. After the insertion I had craps very mild but cramps for the first few days. 3 days after insertion I had really bad cramps and I had to take medication to relieve the pain. Today marks a week I've been spotting none stop which is annoying, but w/e that's a common side effect. The only thing I can say is that as soon as they inserted skyla I've lost my appetite (completely). I spend hours without eating and I don't get nauseous or dizzy which is very not like me. I force myself to eat, because I know I have too"


"Vimpat introduced 4 days ago at 50mg on top of Topamax (to be fazed out) and Tegretol. So far awful. Side effects are depression, lower back pain, mood is low, irritable, sad, day dreamy, tired, anxious. I don't feel like me anymore."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"Ten long days. Too many pills; just finish treatment today. Side effects are bad. EAT WELL BEFORE PILLS AND MAKE SURE YOU DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER."


"I take abilify 15mg for voices and a mood stabilizer. I take it in the form of an injection and I've been on it for 7 months. It has dulled the voices drastically and stopped my severe mania. I am now able to think logically and the constant brain fog that I was suffering from has been lifted.I gave it 9 out of 10 because I still suffer from depression related to my ptsd. I currently am taking 20mg of Fluoxetine for my severe anxiety and depression.The only side effects I had from abilify was seeing faint flashes in the dark and slight tongue tremors. Other than that ablilify has worked wonders for me . I no longer experience mania and I am so grateful because I was extremely wild when I was manic."


"I have taken this medication about four times in my life. First two times because I was pregnant with a tooth abcess. Other two same story. First time it cleared the infection with little side effects as I already have IBS. Third time was terrible and I stopped taking it. This time I found it again and am on day 2. I'm nauseous, have horrid cramping and diarrhea, severe lightheadedness, migraines, chills, slight fever and the pain is still immense. Not worth the side effects."


"After a year on Femara I am beginning to experience severe hair loss, bald patches on top of my head and the hair is turning thin and brittle. Insomnia for the last 2 months, pain in my joints, I was diagnosed with Glaucoma and am very forgetful, i.e. find it defficult to concentrate.  But, if Femara stops the recurrence of cancer, I'll keep taking it.  If it just were not for the hair loss. "


"I have mild acne  used epiduo for 6 months with no results it irritated my skin and acne didn't clear up I guess everyone  is different my sister used it too she had cystic acne and within 3 weeks her face was clear she has not scars but sadly it didn't work for me. I was prescribed this new gel and just in a few days I have noticed a huge difference finally my pimples are going away."


"I got this psoriasis when I was in my early 20's and I thought it was nothing because it started in my head. Itching and redness followed but still I ignored it not until it got bigger then I went to my doctor to get checked up. First, he doesn't know what kind of condition I have. He gave me a lot of things that made no effects on my skin. Bottom line was he didn't made me feel better until I discovered Clobex. I used the shampoo and spray in the same time but you need to be aware that over time any medications will not work. You need to take a break otherwise you will be immune to it or even worse. My skin cleared but after few months it came back so be careful using any medications."


"I just recently had a lumbar fusion but have had back problems for the past 5 years. The Dr would prescribe Flexeril but it wouldn't help and made my heart race. So my surgeon put me on Soma and it works tremendously.  Makes me a little drowsy but functional."


"Chantix worked and I am sure I would have been a non smoker if I could have finished the treatment. Stomach pain, nausea, and screwy sleep. But, it did take the desire away. Fast forward eight years. Decided to look into what makes chantix work. Cytisine compounds. I ordered tabex (cytisine) from Bulgaria. Three days smoke free. No cravings or side effects! If one doesn't work, try the other. My problem was I could never get my mind set right about quitting. I'd want to, but as soon as I tried... I let my thinking trick me back into smoking. Am doing really good on the tabex. Ps... Been smoking since 13. Turned 40 this year. Got tired of this battle. But needed help to let it go!"


"Have been on campral for a month now. Was a beer and wine drinker averaging 9-10 standard drinks daily for 45 years but had an unrelated condition and although not pushed in any way by my doctor, wanted to cut down usual alcohol intake be to see if there was any difference. Campral virtually stopped drinking desire straight away but made no difference to other condition so grog not the problem for latter. However am still on campral and it seems the longer you're on it the greater the positive effect it has. Can now have 3-4 stubbies slowly then just lose interest. Can take it or leave now but good thing was that 3-4 stubbies (normal strength) are still enjoyable but that's it - no more and had -enough. Very happy and no side effects"


"Cymbalta is by far the best antidepressant on the market.  I have lost weight, eat better, feel better and have my family and my life back.

Thanks Cymbalta."


"I was getting sores in my mouth (bad ones). The Periogard worked quick and I use it twice a day. If I forget, my tongue gets sore and I RINSE immediately! It is the most fabulous thing I have found."


"It tastes like liquid peppermint bubble gum."


"I just got my Skyla inserted a few hours ago. It was quick, less than five minutes. I've never had a child before, but I was on my period. I did not experience any pain. The cramps people talk about is just your body's reaction to your uterus being poked. It's weird and a little uncomfortable, but only for a minute. I took pain medicine beforehand, and have not had any cramping. Overall it was quick, and painless. Don't let any horror stories stop you from trying it out, you can always tell your doctor to stop if you feel pain. Everyone's body is different."


"This is the best pain medicine I have ever used, and I have used many.  I have a 4 level fusion in my neck that didn't fuse, and it was attempted twice.  Lower back surgery as well.  Broken hip, bad left knee, bad left ankle.  I was paralyzed briefly in an atv accident back in '01.   Hydrocodone and oxycodone only lasted 2 hours or so.  The pain was about to disable me.  This drug is simply amazing. I do not get "high", or feel a "buzz".  No side effects, but possibly some impotence.  Taking 30mg every 12 hours, with a 10mg dose 3 times a day for "breakthrough pain".  After 8 hours or so, the 30mg wears off rather quickly.  Many pharmacies don't stock opana, and I have trouble getting refills when out of town.  Keep that in mind."


"My platelet count was dangerously low.  After taking 50mg Promacta daily, my count was 275 after one month.  I have not had any side effects whatsoever.  However, I am curious as to why dairy is prohibited for four hours before and after taking medication.  The only other negative is the cost.  Thank God for insurance help."


"I was abusing alcohol for 5 years or so and was spiralling out of control. I went to the doctors on a couple of occasions and at first was offered only counselling. When I finally started taking sertraline about 7 months ago it changed my life. The first week in particular I struggled with the initial side effects such as insomnia and a strong 'spaced out' feeling. The day I began taking sertraline was the day I stopped drinking alcohol and am now eating well. I have now been alcohol free for 7 months, my diet has never been so good and neither has my level of fitness. I'm not saying that sertraline is the answer to all problems but for me it lifted a depression that I never knew I had and made we want to take care of myself again."


"I've had this thing in my arm for a little over a year. First, my periods are so random, and last for weeks at a time. I've gained 35 pounds despite my increase in workouts!!! My depression/anxiety is at an all time high, which makes it hard to do just about anything let alone have sex, WHICH IS THE REASON I HAVE THIS DANG THING IN THE FIRST PLACE. I get nauseous very easily and suddenly. I also tend to have headaches that last for days on end. This implant has caused me more problems than having a second child would have! I have an appointment with my Doctor to remove it, and I cannot wait to be done with this thing and feel like myself again. It might be convenient ladies, but it just isnt worth it."


"I reviewed a number of SNRI medicines in search of one that might work for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome in addition to major depressive disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. After reading about Savella and finding this review site, I suggested Pristiq to my doctor as it seemed to be a good bet for the ailments I needed relief from. I was diagnosed recently with FM/CFS after 6 months of these conditions. I found Pristiq alleviated the worst of the pain. I still have some and am on 10mg of Elavil to help me "sleep" as the key side effect for me from Pristiq is worsening insomnia. I have a bad case of it and as anyone with FM and/or CFS knows, we only get shallow, mostly broken and non-restorative sleep."


"I've had nexplanon implant for two and a half years. It wasn't so much a bad experience, I've had my period every couple months for at least 2 weeks. Just recently my period has lasted me about a month. Not necessarily heavy but really annoying. When I first got on nexlpanon I weighed about 125 - 130, and now I'm around 110. I've tried everything I could to gain weight from eating more to taking mass gainers. My body feels extremely weak and I'm always tired. I feel as if it's been getting worse."


"So much pain!!! I was on the depo for 2 years and gained a lot of weight. I decided to try something different. The pill I wouldn't remember to take and being sexually active and 18 I didn't want to risk it. I read reviews on people saying it only hurts a little and then you have just normal period cramps. I got on the shot so I could stop my cramps. Mine are very severe. So if you have/had bad cramps don't get this. It hurt so much getting it inserted and I then got sick and had to stay an hour longer. Pain like I have never felt before. Can't walk without cramping up still. I got it 4 days ago."


"A few years back I developed anxiety and depression. Went on the SSRI and hated it. My dr. Then gave me Tramadol for my back and shoulder pain. But I found that it works better for me for my depression and anxiety.  After about 30 minutes from taking the pill I start to feel normal again and levelheaded"


"Due to a recent endometriosis diagnosis my doctor switched me to Lo Loestrin from Sronyx. The first day I took the pill I started cramping and bleeding like never before. I usually have really bad cramping, body aches, heavy bleeding but only for 3 days. It's now been 9 days on the pill and I am still bleeding heavily, cramping and having body aches. I don't understand and am so worried. I started the pill to control all these symptoms but its been very frustrating and confusing."


"I have been on and off of this for several months.  I wasn't good about taking it.  Now, I started again and immediately I started feeling edgy and nervous.  Almost feels like it is raising my blood pressure instead of lowering it. "


"When first taking this medication, I threw up the first few days of taking it. Through the months I have experienced excruciating pain 2-6 hours after taking it. I normally take it around 11 or 12, right before bed. so between 1 and 6 in the morning, I am waken up by the pain. It's an aching pain with nausea. it is about once or twice a month, but when it occurs, it is unbearable! It lasts for about an hour or until I can fall asleep in the fetal position (the only thing that lessens the pain.) I am not allergic to anything nor sensitive to foods, so I am sure it is not related to consumed foods. It does have some positives. I  ALWAYS receive my period on the same day and am not pregnant. So it does what it was intended for!"


"Had a major flare up back in April that almost lead to emergency Colonectomy. Hospitalized for 19 days straight, was in 2 different hospitals lost about half my bodies blood and 50 lbs over 6 months time. 1st doctor put me on many of the wrong medications as the disease was too severe. Starting out on Lialda, Uceris then up to Remicade which started to work for about a week and then Prednisone which was horrible. When I was in the 2nd hospital I had another Doctor prescribe Simponi and it took a while but is working for sure. I went from 20 times a day of red to 1 - 3 times a day (clear water)."


"I got mines inserted in February 2016. I was excited about the weight gain since I'm slim and had lost a few pounds but my weight is stable. No acne breakouts, mood swings, best of all no PERIODS!! after insertion my period left and about 3 months later I spotted for 3 days and nothing since. No nausea like the pills, no vaginal wetness like the ring, no aches in bones like depo... I love it! Sorry for those dealing with bad experiences."


"Only side effect is can't sleep and lost 4kg in 1 week"


"I have BPD, anxiety disorder, and agoraphobia.  This medicine didn't do much for me.  I got all of the side effects but none of the relief.  I am only giving it a mid-line rating because I can't seem to tell if the medicine didn't help or if I am just more depressed/stressed lately."


"This is the only hormonal BC pill that doesn't give me mood swings or headaches, however, I do get frequent, heavy spotting throughout the month :("


"1/10/2017 I was ovulating. The sexual relations occurred that day. Plan b was taken 1/11/2017 around 6pm. On 1/21/2017 I got a positive pregnancy test. Plan b was not effective for me when taken during ovulation. If you are ovulating or near ovulation it is best to reframe from sex, get on birth control, use condoms, or any other birth control measure that would result in not getting pregnant. Placing your future in the hands of a pharmaceutical product is absolutely silly."


"I was through menopause by age 46.  The hot flashes were so frequent they disrupted my quality of life.  I urge you to discuss with your doctor but if you are concerned about the side effects of HRT, this is a very low dose spray.  As my physician pointed out, even with one spray a day I still have less estrogen than most women my age.  What do I notice?  Almost no hot flashes.  More energy, improved mood, fuller hair (unexpected benefit), less vaginal dryness, better sleep (use with progesterone).  If you are suffering with postmenopausal symptoms and are worried about HRT, this may be a good cautious step and all you really need to stop suffering!"


"I was prescribed 250/125 Augmentin 3x daily for a bad UTI that was turning into a kidney infection and hadn't responded to Cipro.
The fatigue, fever, and chills are bad enough with a UTI, but add Augmentin and it amplified it by 10. I have been in bed since I started taking it two days ago, I can't stop shaking and my joints feel like they're going to explode!
Not to mention the vivid, hallucenenic type nightmares and the constant feeling of paranoia and feeling on the brink of a panic attack!! If you have anxiety like I do DO NOT TAKE THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE TO!!! I had a mental breakdown about taking another dose as I don't feel I can handle these side effects much longer.
9/10 would not take again, doesn't seem to be helping the infection"


"I was prescribed this medicine from the weight loss clinc. I started out at 5'3 223lbs in March 2015 and now I'm down to 178. I was skeptical about the side effects, scared mostly. However, the tingly sensation just irritates me. It is better now. I am afraid of increasing the dosage because I'm still on the lowest dosage. I'm working extra hard to lose weight each month so the Dr won't up the dosage. So far it is working great for me. My finance noticed a huge change in my mood and behavior but I don't feel too bad. I have noticed my hair has been falling out and thinning which is new symptom and I do not particularly like.i just have to reach a bmi of 27! That's the goal to get off the medicine and reach my weight goal !"


"I used Yaz when I was in varsity as I had SEVERE acne. it took a couple of months to clear but when it did, my skin was completely clear!! I used it straight through for about 8 years. I decided to stop using it for about a year as I am much older now and assumed my hormones were in balance. It took about 4 months for my acne to start re-appearing and now its worse than ever again!! So I'm going back on Yaz and I'm on month two and my acne keeps worsening each day! I'm just trying to be patient and hopefully soon it will clear my skin again! I guess Accutane will be my option for a permanent solution because I cannot be on the pill for life!! *Hopeful for a clear skin soon*"


"This worked great to slow down my irritated reactions during a high period of stress in my life.  (Took 50 mg once a day). Now after doing a 2 week taper off (which that time was fine), now for the last 4 days of no sertraline at all, I FEEL SO EXTREMELY DIZZY THAT IT MAKES ME NAUSEATED, GRUMPY and I WOULD RATHER SLEEP IT OFF UNTIL THIS GOES AWAY. "


"This product is good not only for constipation but it also cleanses out your intestine and helps with  bad breath or really bad smelling stools or gas"


"I've been on Sprintec for 5 years now. Overall pretty good. No pregnancies, keeps acne at bay, periods only last ~4 days when it used to be heavy flow for 7  days without birth control (plus, can predict what time it will come; mine starts between 3-7 pm every first day of period). My breasts also went up 1.5 cup sizes.

The only down side for me would be extreme mood swings (mad, sad, crying for no reason... But only towards my husband lol!) during period, breast tenderness (near and during period time), occasional nausea.

After 5 months of use, I tried skipped the series of white pills and went straight into the next pack in hopes of not getting my period for that month... went terribly. Bled/ spotted for the next 30 days."


"Did nothing for more cough, still can't sleep."


"This medication works very well for me. I take it with Pristiq and it is a very good combination. Haven't felt this good for a year."


"I switched from the Nuvaring to this at the advice from my endochronologist who said that the Nuvaring was messing with my thyroid and that she feels like my body cannot handle additional hormones in my body. Ive been on Lo Loestrin Fe for about 2 months and it has been the worst. Terrible mood swings, depression, bloating, constipation and no sex drive! I'm 27 and to have no sex drive is crazy. I have anxiety disorder and this medicine has made it worse and is actually causing depression which according the side effects, is common. So I'll be going back to the doctor and asking for something else. The only positive is that my period started as soon as I went to the white pills and wasn't heavy or crampy."


"This was the first drug I was tried on for my depression BEFORE my OCD started (I'm 14). I have PTSD, so along comes depression, anxiety, etc. When the psyciatrist prescribed me this, he had only seen me for 45 minutes and that was his decision. The first time taking it, I wasn't feeling right. Week 1 was unbearable. I felt like I had the stomach and head flu combined. I also started having more suicidal thoughts so I called my doctor and they stopped me. Not an effective drug for me unfortunately, that is why I give Zoloft a 1."


"Worked like a charm , stopped the nighttime pain and burning. Unfortunately my insurance company no longer covers it.  "


"I have been on Remicade since April after not getting any relief from Inbrel or Humira.

The initial relief was wonderful, but the results since then have been very unreliable.  I find that the week before my infusion is due, I am in terrible pain all over again.  I also have a hard time with the methotrexate, it makes my stomach very upset and wipes me out the day I have to take it."


"This is my third birth control I didn't ask for the changes they just happened! But this one I love b4 taking birth control I had period for 5 days and they were very heavy which totally sucked.  Then I got on birth control and it slowed them down to eventually 3 days very light periods and now I don't even have a period at all! It kinda worried me at first not having a period but I took a test to confirm I wasn't and sure enough NOT PREGNANT! This is my second week not having a period and I've been on this pill for about 7 months! I like having no period but it does stress me out a little"


"I just got mine in August 09 once I had my first child. It works good. I started gaining weight but have lost it. I weigh 111lbs so I'm okay where I am at. As for the symptoms I do bleed every 3 months or so and it goes on for about 3 weeks but I'm okay with that. I thinks it's probably my body getting rid of all the bad stuff. I think it is probably the best birth control since you dont have to worry, forget about taking it or anything."


"Hello ladies, I've had the implanon for 2 years now and I can say I like it but also there are things I don't like about it. I got my implanon inserted in 2015 and didn't have any problems with it until about 6 months into it. After that I've had periods 2 times a month - every month that has lasted for about 5 days, sometimes even lasted a week. The second thing I don't like about it is I have no sex drive what so ever. Another thing I don't like is my hair falls out and I can't seem to stop gaining weight and I'm tired a lot, I also got diagnosed with panic disorders"


"This medication can be dangerous but it works REALLY well.
I used it to treat stomach motility. I've been admitted in the ER many times during flare ups (severe nausea/vomiting/no sleeping/misery that would last for days) and as soon as I would get it through and IV, I would feel so good! So it's a miracle drug when it comes to treating nausea/vomiting.
I took only 10mg, because of the warnings and only took it at night and if I needed it (if I ate something that would not digest)
It worked really well to manage gastroparesis. I started to function, gain weight, eat food.
Then after 6 months I woke up one day and my speech was slurred, and I was losing fine motor control, couldn't write or text, so I had to stop taking it."


"I have struggled with mild but persistent acne since I was 11 or so, and am now 21 and finally doing something about it! I am doing 3 things: Doryx (oral antibiotic), Retin-A micro at night, and Aczone mornings (and afternoons sometimes). I have seen huge improvement over the last 3 months, though not perfectly clear (mine is clearly hormonal and stress-related, so that's frustrating). Aczone doesn't dry out my skin and make it flake like other topical creams or gels (especially Benzaclin) and it makes my face feel smooth. Strangely, within the last week I have noticed some itchiness/dryness and peeling and I don't know why there is this change. I have been more consistent about putting it on twice a day instead of once, so maybe that's why"


"I have mercury-poisoning induced Bipolar II and took Lamictal. It made me feel great until I ended up in the hospital with erythema multiforme covering my whole body and aseptic meningitis. I was very disappointed because I was starting to feel really good on it. Andy Cutler Protocol has been the best treatment for me thus far, but I really wanted something to eliminate the depressive episodes (my manic ones are mild) while I get all the mercury out."


"I recently started taking Mobic for my back pain. It makes almost all of the pain go away, and still allows me to be able to safely care for my daughter. The only side effect I have experienced is discomfort in my stomach after taking it, but it's much better than the back pain I was experiencing."


"Been talking this medication  so long, don't see where it is helping because I still have the same symptoms over and over."


"I usually wait to take this drug in the hope that the gout pain will pass. I ALWAYS regret not taking it right away. You feel relief in a couple of hours and I have never had a side effect or stomach upset.  For me it works great. Sometimes though the day after I take the last pill my toe knuckle swells up again. I wait again to restart the dose. "


"I had Nexplanon for 2 weeks. The first week was fine. The second week I lost my appetite, sex drive, 10 pounds, and experienced mood swings and sadness. I knew before getting it that it takes 3 months to adjust, but when I decided to get it, I didn't know how much it would affect my mood and I was not willing to make myself go through 3 months of these symptoms. I've been depressed before and I felt like I was heading in that direction. I went to Planned Parenthood and had them take it out. I certainly was not on it long enough to give a detailed review of the product, but I was on it long enough to know that my body was unhappy with my decision to get it. I'm happy I got it removed. I recommend trying it, but listen to your body."


"I didn't like this medicine at first. I had headaches, and had some symptoms of depression. These problems went away after two weeks of regular use. I cannot rate it against other such medicines because Adcira is the only such medicine I have used."


"I have suffered with severe diabetic peripheral, proximal and autonomic neuropathy for 7 years. The pain and dysthesias were constant, I could eventually fall asleep for a couple of hours but that was it. I was prescribed Darvocet, Neurontin, Tramadol, Codeine, Cymbalta, none of which worked, not even a little. I had to fight the insurance company for over 7 months to get on Lyrica and when it was finally approved I figured it wouldn't work either... An hour after I took the first dose I was completely pain free. I slept 9 hours the first night and haven't slept less than 7 hours since. I actually have my life back."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I love these vitamins I have tried several different ones this pregnancy and I love these the best!"


"I take Tylenol Migraine Ultra every morning to ease my chronic daily headaches. They work within 20 minutes."


"Used it daily for shoulder pain didn't make the pain go away but made it bearable."


"I originally tried switching from 50 mcg of levothyroxine to 50 mcg of tirosint. Had horrible headaches and insomnia. I thought it was the med. Turns out this stuff is absorbed way better. I am now on my second trial of this medication only on 25 mcg and it is fabulous. I am slowly starting to feel normal again. And in only 2 weeks my labs are perfect. From what I have read starting the dose lower is best. I wish i would have done this my first try years ago cause I could have been feeling better a lot sooner. Levothyroxine and synthroid were AWFUL. Never felt good, was always depressed, irritable, teeth clenching, anxiety the list goes on. I will pay the price of tirosint to feel human! Praying things continue to get better."


"Very effective at fungus elimination; however, WATCH THOSE SIDE EFFECTS.  Talk about burning and extraordinary sensitivity in a sensitive area."


"After one week on contrave with no sign of it beginning to work I woke up with hives,.  A few hours later my whole body was covered with hives and extremely itchy.  Over the counter antihistamine did little to help and I continued to break out .I did not take any more contrave after the first sign of hives. The second day I went to ER for help from the growing whole body rash and frenzied itching. I was given Iv steroids and more antihistamine. It has now been 5 days of hives and I do not think i have peaked yet. Each day it is worse and I do not know when it will start to abate. Horrible Horrible experience"
