"There are various manufacturer of clonazepam. I always made sure to stay with the same manufacturer. However, a week into taking the pills from my new prescription I started to feel very ill. I still had several pills from my previous refill because I only required  1/2 of the 0.5 mg. It was prescribed for me for chronic neck pain. The manufacturer changed the ingredients and now I have been suffering for months to find a replacement to no avail. It's been working well for years but right now the horrible effects I'm getting I don't think I'd recommended to any one. Please try every option before having to suffer the consequences in the long run."


"This works perfectly, I'd highly recommend it."


"Do NOT take this PLEASE :( I'm going to be totally honest and say I was only mildly constipated, and took 2 tabs, 1-3 being suggested dose. Have taken other laxatives before no problems at all.

Oh my GOD. I took it around 9pm, with food, plenty of liquids, & went to bed. Was awake at midnight, 3, 4, 6AM in absolute agony, cramps like I've never felt, severe nausea. Also made me vomit, probably from the cramping / spasms.

Yes it had the "desired effect" but no WAY was it worth that level of agony over the 12 hours. Please just see a doc and get something better."


"I absolutely love Nexplanon. I got it inserted in July 2013. Since then I have one extremely light period that lasted two days. I have no experience weight gain. I have always had very little acne and Nexplanon did not cause my acne to increase. I also haven't experienced a changes in moodiness. I recommend Nexplanon to my friends all the time. I also have a friend that has it and she really likes it although she has experienced some weight gain. I am very surprised so many people have had such a terrible experience. If you are considering getting Nexplanon do not let these horror stories scare you away. Everyone has a different experience so you'll have to see if it's a good birth control option for you."


"The Mylan Lidocaine 5% Patches are horrible... not only do they not help with the pain, but they are very stiff once you put it on and when you try to take it off it rips the hair out of your back! It horrible will never use another one again!!!"


"I've had Implanon in for almost a year. Since I've had it I haven't gone for more than 2 days without spotting, will have a heavy period for up to 5 weeks, migraines, muscle pains, joint aches, acne, incredible mood swings, will cry for no reason, extreme anxiety where everything around me goes hazy and I feel like I'm moving in slow motion, my breasts constantly ache and I've gained about 35 pounds. While it's great to not have to worry about taking a pill daily, the side effects aren't worth it. "


"Lol don't be such babies. Men are supposed to act like babies. Yes the stuff burns and itches with the medicine. It's supposed to. It's destroying the fungus lol. The product works and it didn't burn and itch for that long. Like I read on one review... we are women crap happens to us and worse stuff than a yeast infection. Toughin up. Buy the product"


"I've tried Tramadol 50 milligram tablets prescribed by my physician all that is so hyped up Tylenol that does no damn good except make your kidneys and liver work harder. It's a bunch of rubbish why can't they just prescribe what we need and take less of it and not have as many problems."


"Before my doctor suggested trying trazadone 50mg a night I was awake every hour on the hour every night. Now I take it right before bed and I sleep the whole night without a problem.  I've been on it for about 3 years and don't have any complaints. It was a miracle for me"


"About 5 months ago I had a MAJOR breakout on my chin. I'm 27, never had a problem with acne before. I'd been through a number of topical creams and antibiotics, without any result. If anything, the breakout was worse. I was a few weeks away from starting Accutane, when as a last resort my doctor gave me Atralin. It took about two weeks before I saw much of an improvement, but it works wonderfully. It didn't burn like any of the other topical creams and didn't make it worse before better, like most of the other ones. I've been using the Atralin for a couple of months now and my skin has cleared up completely. I have had maybe two or three very small blemishes since then, and even those are gone within a day or two. I highly recommend it!"


"I'm a 36 year old female who is managing face, chest and back acne with doxy and differin gel .3%.  I take 200 mgs of doxy in the AM and at night I apply differin to my face, chest and back.  I have been on this routine since 6/30/16.  Since that time no new acne has sprouted and existing acne has significantly improved.  Doxy and differin is an interim solution as my derm believes acne outbreak is hormonal.

As interim solution, I recommend doxy and differin."


"Sharing my experience because I know reading these helped me. Just to start saying I am 16, within the weight, and never had any vagina problems. My boyfriend and I had sex and the condom broke without us knowing and he came inside of me. I took the pill about 5-7 hours after. I was so terrified I was pregnant because I didn't have any of the side effects. My period had just ended the day before this happened and I just got my period today, 5 days later. I promise you it works...just trust it!!"


"Unfortunately my experiences have not been good. It has reduced the seizures but, I get  bad side effects - dizziness, lightheadedness, headaches, nausea and poor coordination."


"I started experiencing depression and anxiety attacks at around 19 years old. At the time, I didn't quite realize what was wrong with me, I just knew something was horribly wrong. I have tried every medication known to man; celexa, Prozac, cymbalta, pristiq, viibryd, Wellbutrin... And nothing. The emptiness, emotional turmoil, and suffocation I felt was ruining my life. Then in 2011, I started Effexor. I feel alive again, and I never thought I would feel normal again. The one thing I will warn about is the dependency. If you miss one pill, you will think you are coming down with the flu. If you ever decide to stop, you will have to taper off. Adverse effects: constipation, weight loss, vivid dreams, insomnia, sexual dys."


"2nd try with suboxone.."


"I took this BC for a year. My main reason for taking was due to recurring ovation cysts that ruptured every month and it worked wonders. As an added bonus it did its job as a birth control and without any side effects. I had no weight gain no acne no babies and no cysts. I didn't lose my sex drive. And when I did stop taking it I was pregnant the second month after. So it didn't effect my fertility which is a huge thing for me considering I miscarried after being on depo for 6 months."


"I experienced severe postpartum depression after my twins were born, actually it started after I stopped breastfeeding them.  My hormones were all over the place.  I was sleep deprived and suicidal.  Paxil worked great on my depression, but I had negative side effects. First of all, it really flattened my emotional response.  Nothing much upset me, but nothing made me excited either.  I had zero sex drive and could not achieve orgasm at all.  I also gained a lot of weight in a very short amount of time.  Also, I had trouble falling asleep.  I switched to Wellbutrin, and actually lost weight. I would still have difficulty coping some days, but it was manageable, and no negative side effects."


"I have taken this medicine for seven years.....six of those in conjunction with Zyprexa. I ballooned from 120lbs to 210lbs in that space of time. I was not warned that this medicine has the potential to cause massive weight gain, and she insisted to me that the gain was nothing to do with the drug. Came off the drugs independently for 13 months, 95lbs fell off me easily, but had another episode after that time. Am now on 500mgs Depakote and 10mgs Abilify. Don't notice any beneficial effects from this medicine hair loss, nails breaking below the quick, hand and body tremors, forgetfulness, being abstract and far away, irregular sleep patterns. Want to ask the doctor to try me on Lamictal."


"If I take one 8 hour pill before getting up in about a half hour I am good to go for the whole day. I have osteoarthritis."


"After the initial, hard to get through side effects. I stuck with the Geodon and it has helped me greatly. I'm not as moody, and like some other peoples' reviews I saw, I'm not as hostile. I'm taking 160mg/night and due to severe stress my doctor added another 60mg in the morning. I'm over the sleepiness, but do get restless at times. I keep reading about the horror stories about this medicine, but for me it works well in conjunction with my Lamictal and Klonopin and Prozac."


"Prolia shot given July 26, 2012!.  Immediately had every dermatological problem listed in the ad:Itching, rash all over body except for face, extreme pain, dry skin, repeated biopsies, thousands of dollars for doctors, prescriptions, lotions and potions.  Left calf's skin completely peeled off like the bark of a tree and has never recovered four years later!!  Even now it is again broken out in oozing rashes around the ankle, but the entire leg hurts.  I must keep the hair on my legs shaved very close or when I am exercising in the Y pool, the leg is painful just
with the movement of the tiny hairs in the water. The pain is inside as well as on the surface of my skin. These bad side effects continue! Have pictures of early rash available."


"I'm sick and have a constant barking cough that's mostly unproductive. I read reviews on amazon to find a good OTC cough suppressant. Delsym had rave reviews. I had hubby pick up the orange.

I can say that my coughing has stopped. Delsym absolutely stops the coughing. It's quite wonderful.

What's not wonderful are the three bouts of explosive diarrhea I have had since taking it three hours ago. There's more to come as my stomach is still gurgling.

This is the really bad stuff. Thank goodness it stops the coughing because if I coughed right now, I'd have diarrhea all over the bed.

The medicine DOES stop the coughing, but it's not worth this kind of diarrhea."


"I've had the Nexaplanon since Sept 2015. The procedure was easy and efficient. No pain, no burning at the injection & no problems with the recovery. I had just finished my period the week before I got the implant. I haven't had a period since then, which was weird to me @ 1st because I always had a monthly period. I've neither lost or gained weight. I do spot a lot every other two weeks or so but its light & I just put a liner down just in case. I do get mood swings from time to time but I snap out of it quickly. I've had terrible acne before but this made it out of control. Only downside is acne. Oh & after sex, like the day after I'll have heavier spotting. "


"I was prescribed Lyrica for Fibromyalgia pain.  It didn't really help that much but it did wonders for the neuropathy in my feet caused by botched plantar fascitis surgery.  The pain in my feet was horrible and the Lyrica took the sharp jabs and the feeling of nails being driven through my feet away.  Still have some pain in my feet but not the intense, jarring me awake type pain.  On the one occasion I ran out of Lyrica I got terribly sick, throwing up and diarrhea.  So I don't run out!!  Am taking 300 mg morning and night. Have recently lost 37 pounds, albeit with great effort, just like before Lyrica.  Sometimes my vision is just a little blurry, but have learned to deal with it.  I continue to take Lyrica for the benefits."


"Taking for an infected toe. The infection is eating away the bone. I really know if it is working as there was no swelling or pain in the first place. Side effects are minimal and tolerable, some stomach discomfort and fatigue."


"After about two weeks on Pristiq, I can definitely say it is helping.  I had come off of Effexor (which made me gain weight) and was in a bad state with terrible anxiety.  Pristiq has made me feel more balanced.  It also reduces my appetite which is a plus.  Some dry mouth and nausea, which has subsided.  I also wake up more in the night but am able to go back to sleep."


"l have had rheumatoid arthritis now for 7 years, it runs in my family both grandmothers, my parents, my 5 siblings. I have been taking methotrexate injections for 2 years plus Celebrex & Plaquenil along with controlled pain medication. I thought is this the way my life is going to be, always in pain. I started Humira about 3 weeks ago & WOW after the 1st injection the next day I could not believe how much my pain and stiffness had decrease, I could actually get up by myself in the morning. I take my shot every 2 weeks, I start noticing about the Friday or Saturday a little stiffness and feeling achy and know its time for the next dose.
I have experienced a lot of pain, burning & stinging on the injection site. I have learned what works for me is to lie down."


"I am very happy with this medication. I dropped a table on my big toes 3 years ago and damaged the growth matrix (and nail bed). I didn't realize this also caused a fungus infection which contributed to ugly thick yellow flaky nails. For years I just sucked it up and thought my nails were ruined permanently. After so many years I saw the nail was separating almost 2/3 from the nailbed and I became worried I'd lose my nails. Went to my doctor and she prescribed me Jublia and only 2 months in I see a healthy nail growing back and also reattaching to the nailbed! It will take probably another 6-8 months maybe a year but I am so happy it's working. I only wish I had done this earlier! I am lucky my benefits cover it 100%. No side effects so far"


"I came down with the flu while traveling for work, and a local clinic wrote me a prescription. The Dr told me it wouldn't make me feel better but rather shorten the duration. I figured might as well try it. I've stopped after 3 doses - awful diarrhea and nausea. I'd rather let nature take its course than go through what I have for the last 10 hours."


"Hi, everyone!  Well, I have been on the Depo on and off since I was 18 years old.  Frankly, it has been the best birth control method for me.  My period stopped completely and I gained no weight because of it. I've been off of it now for exactly a year. I began to spot within the month I was off of it and only skipped the January cycle; by June my cycle ranged from 25 to 30 days, and by now to an avg of 25, which is normal.  This month, however, I have experienced breast enlargement and soreness, along with weight gain from 6 days before my period started.  My doctor says that might be a sign that I may start ovulating on my own. The only negatives are the bone density loss and the length of time it takes to become fertile again."


"I found Ritalin increased my alertness and concentration. I rate Ritalin 2/10 as I find it increased my depression, from which point I stopped taking. Unsure whether the Ritalin interacted negatively with my usual small dose antidepressant Cymbalta or if increased depression is an unreported side effect."


"It was okay during the first six months. Then I gained a lot of weight, had really bad depression with suicidal thoughts, my body always hurt. It does it's job, but there's a lot of unnecessary side effects."


"I have had post-infectious IBS for about 9 months. I couldn't go to work, I couldn't eat, and I had severe abdominal cramping and diarrhea several times a day. I lost about 10lbs (I'm underweight to begin with, so this was troublesome). My gastroenterologist prescribed nortriptyline and Bentyl (Bentyl for intestine cramping, which I was able to stop taking once the nortriptyline kicked in), and I was back to nearly normal within a week. After several months of thinking I was healed, I stopped taking nortriptyline and my symptoms returned almost full-blown within a few days. Now I'm back on it and I feel fine again. I have had no side effects, except a little drowsiness when I take it (though I take it before bed, so it's not a problem)!"


"Just a few days and I see the improvements. I too have been wearing heavy makeup and can't wait to stop. You can get the prescription filled at Costco just over $100 with membership. I initially went in to the dermatologist thinking I would end up paying for expensive laser treatment and was relieved to only have to spend $100. This prescription works a whole lot better than hydroquinone on its own."


"I really do not like taking medications so I probably don't monitor it like I should. So far I have had no problems develop but it works effectively and side effects are minimal. Some cuts barely bleed while a small scratch may take awhile to stop depending on where the cut or scratch occurs. I have found that Coumadin regulates better than other warfarin but costs considerably more. "


"The Hep C was a total surprise to me . Discovered when my Doc ran some routine bloodwork . I had been tired for a couple years and lost some weight , but I chalked it up to getting older , I'm 67.
  I have absolutely no clue how I contracted the disease .
   The gastroenterologist told me I had likely had it for 25-30 years !  I have some liver scarring but no Cirrhosis .
  I've only been taking Harvoni for a week and I swear I feel better already . My energy level is improving along with my general feeling of well-being .
 So far , NO side effects whatsoever , except for the good ones .
  I am so grateful to the powers that be for this miracle drug. And thankful for my doctor finding it before I had any serious problems ."


"I have been using it for a week combined with Aczone. I am already seeing results! It does however make my skin really dry but I will take that over acne."


"Used for 4 months .. no improvement. My insurance covered the first prescription. Requested a refill and my insurance covered $290. The remaining balance was my responsibility .... $1,000K. No joke. Is this pharmaceutical company smoking something? LOL. I promptly refused the refill and will find another alternative."


"Female age 35 with history of kidney stones. Went to ER for kidney stone pain on a Friday, was given a shot of Flomax and a prescription to take daily. Saw urologist and received CAT scan on Monday - one 5mm kidney stone in ureter and two more (one in each kidney) to come. On day six of Flomax and going to stop taking it - feeling very dizzy, nauseous, tired with chills/low fever at night. Still haven't passed the stone but can't take these side affects. Doctor said I can go back on Flomax anytime if my kidney stone pain comes back and I need it to help pass this stone."


"I've been on Sronyx for about 2 years now and I love it. I trust this birth control and it has decreased my blood flow during my period. I used to have extremely heavy blood flow and extreme fatigue during my period. After I started Sronyx my period is light and I don't cramp as bad as I used to. I did see a change in my mood but I have managed to control it and not display the moods that I feel."


"I started breaking out for the first time when I turned 20 years old.  It was terrible, cystic acne and I tried everything before going to the dermatologist.  When I finally did, I was prescribed Aczone and Retin-A.  During the first three weeks, my skin got worse.  All my cystic acne rose to the top and turned into white heads.  My skin also become flaky at the same time from the Retin-A.  I wanted to stop and give up, but so glad I didn't.  Now my skin is almost completely clear and it's been 6 weeks.  Please don't give up on this treatment.  Continue to use it as your doctor prescribed and you will see results.  I still have some redness but overall my skin is smooth and I finally feel comfortable in it!"


"I have had classic migraines for 25 years. For the last 15 I have been using Inderal as a preventative. For the first 10 years it reduced the number and severity of my migraines significantly from 1 or 2, 2 day long attacks to a cluster once or twice a year. Over the last few years more frequent migraine like headaches have been developing as often as 3 or 4 a fortnight (without aura or vomiting) leading me to seek new prevention options. However, I'm fearful of discontinuing Propranolol incase the more severe classic migraines return and disrupt my work even more than the headaches do. I think every migraine sufferer who can use it should give Inderal a go. I haven't had any problems with side effects in all these years."


"I was allergic to Dorzolamide which made my eye's itch and redden all around the eyelids, Dr. changed me to Cosopt that has no additives and the itching and redness left! I use them daily with no problem for Glaucoma :-)"


"I've had problems with my periods forever. Oral contraceptives were not working for me. So, I talked with my physician about IMPLANON and was astounded with how painless the process was! It worked like a DREAM! coming from someone who used to have cramps so severe and bleeding so extensive this was heaven, until.. the "spotting" happened (over 7 months later) I had heavy bleeding for weeks. Yes, weeks. It would stop and I would give it another chance. After the 3rd time this "Spotting" happened, I had enough. I had it removed. If it works for you, I am so glad."


"I first reviewed this in November 2010, (see past comments). I have since had ALIF surgery (anterior multi level fusion l-3, 4 and 5), and am feeling better everyday. I have been prescribed every painkiller in the book for the past year and a half, nothing provides the pain relief with minimal side effects that Nucynta does. Nothing. In the hospital I was injected with 2mg morphine every 3 hours plus oxycodone every 4 hours and was a complete zombie. Left the hospital, took 100mg Nucynta and received the same relief with no ill effects. It's been 2 weeks. Now taking 50mg 3x daily."


"I get particularly bad pain, occasional numbness and lack of motor control in my hands and feet due to quite severe Raynauds. It makes many ordinary tasks like getting out of the sea at the beach incredibly difficult, dangerous and painful. Thankfully my introduction to this wonderful medication means that my attacks are much less frequent, and my partner has remarked at the noticeable sudden warmth in my usually cold as ice hands and feet. The only real drawback is that without a satisfactory amount of food it collaborated with my naturally low blood pressure to make me feel faint, it does not mix well with alcohol and it does not seem to prevent emotion based attacks. None the less, I can carry on living my life normally with it."


"Horrible I've had my period for 8 months still have it after getting my first shot in November 2015."


"I started taking Cymbalta approx. 4 weeks ago.  Its a miracle far as I'm concerned. I have low back pain, fibromyalgia and increasing anxiety disorder.  Within 4 days I felt immediate relief from pain all over. I haven't felt this good in years. I am also on Lyrica and am going to see if I can lower my dose or even discontinue it and see if I'm still pain free. My anxiety is starting to lessen now as well. I don't have many side effects, mostly more tired so I will take it at night.  Definitely try it. It's worth it!"


"Took this for allergies and to help me sleep.  I had the best sleep I've had in years, BUT I was so groggy and hazy during the day that I stopped taking it after 2 nights.  This certainly works for allergies (no more sneezing or itchy-watery eyes), but I wouldn't take it if you have small children or a day job.  I had such a hard time keeping my eyes open at work."


"I have had depression from age 12 and am now 40. I have used all SSRI's, Welbutrin, Effexor, etc., but would have to quit each one due to various side effects. Buspar & Xanax helped but weren't strong enough. I was fed up! So I quit all depression medicines for 3yrs (not advisable!). I became more depressed than I had ever been in my life. I went back to a doctor and he put me on Viibryd. I was sceptical! But he explained how it was different. So I tried it. I used the gradual dose increase and I had bad nausea but it did eventually pass as long as I took it with a high protein breakfast. That was my only side effect. I have been on it for over a year and have never felt this well! I do get withdrawal symptoms if I miss a dose but to me it's still worth it!"


"Soma is very effective as a muscle relaxant and I sleep much better when I take it. No nightmares, just better sleep. Helps muscle pain and tension. (I have Fibromyalgia) I also have taken it for acute back and neck pain and it is quite wonderful. The only downside is I swear I am starving when I'm taking Soma like I never feel full, I'm sure I would gain weight if I took it long term. It also can be difficult to stop taking it if you've taken it for a month or more, the body builds up a dependency. Short term for me though it is a wonderful medication,"


"I took Plan B about 36 hours after unprotected sex. I literally was SO scared I would get pregnant and googled everything on Plan B way to much. I'm on birth control but hadn't been taking it at the same time. I had symptoms throughout that, I was paranoid was pregnancy symptoms like random cramping, lower back pain, and sore breasts. But exactly 3 weeks later, today, I got my period. It is a few days later than when I usually have it, Don't worry, it works! Trust it."


"I started this medicine in June. I lost 29lbs on it. I got to the 3 on the injection and started with the sickness. Stopped using this. I went to the Dr and told him what was going on and he recommended that I start back on the lower dosage. So it is August 20th and I started back over. So far so good"


"I had this birth control in for about 6 months. Getting the birth control in doesn't hurt a bit, mine bruised pretty bad afterwards. I spotted for about 3 and a half weeks after I got nexplanon put in my arm and have not bled since! I did though have CRAZY mood swings and always felt really bad and said sorry after but that doesn't make it okay. I was so so irritable and annoyed at every single thing. I was so unmotivated when this was in my arm, I went to the gym 4 times in 6 months and I used to go everyday before. I was tired all the time and felt exhausted after 4 hours of work! Lastly, I was hungry, to the point of feeling sick, every 3 hours if I didn't eat! I didn't bleed after the first month, but it wasn't worth it for me!"


"I started Nuvigil 250 mg in the morning, two weeks ago after being diagnosed with narcolepsy. I went from sleeping all night and basically most of the day with extreme napping before the Nuvigil to no naps at all. I don't even feel sleepy. That is a plus.  The first three days were a miracle! I was alert. Colors seemed brighter. I felt focused for the first time in years.  Slowly, I started having afternoon side effects of a dull headache. I feel "car sick" and jittery, and my skull feels actually numb to touch. I hope this subsides soon or I may try halving my dose of 250mg."


"I took Plan B step one 8 hours after a broken condom incident that happened while camping.  This was my second time taking the pill - the first time I took it I got horrible side effects -vomiting and nose bleeds and a 2 week long period.

This time taking the pill I didn't experience any side effects and I was pretty worried it didn't work. I had a day of heavy bleeding a week after taking and nothing else (I guess this was my period...)

I got my period a week early the next month and it was much heavier.

Overall, it works! Don't stress yourselves out ladies."


"I been taking Lotrel over 6 years now. I am not showing any side effects at all. As a matter of fact, I feel great. Lotrel has helped my high blood pressure."


"I started Complera and Tivicay in July 2015 after 10 years without meds (VL 8,000 & CD4 450 when I started), and switched to Odefsey and Tivicay in May 2016. I didn't realize how much I'd appreciate taking the smaller Odefsey pill every day.  The first few months on Complera, I often felt cloudy and got tired easily. I suspect that was a side effect. I don't really have that issue now. I was reluctant starting meds due to possible side effects, but actually my quality of life improved. Without meds I had daily upset stomach issues, but those disappeared immediately after I started.  If you're on insurance, be sure to get the Gilead co-pay card.  It'll cover your deductibles and co-pays."


"I have been taking 50mg of Zoloft for a month now. At first I was nauseous everyday and wanted to stop so bad. I stayed with it and I can really feel a difference. I seem to be able to think more clearly and just in a better mood altogether. I have suffered from major depressive and extreme anxiety disorder since about the age of 13. I'm almost 32 now and for once I actually feel good. This speaks in volumes for those that know me. I'm not sure if I will need to increase the dosage ever but for now the 50mg seems to be the magic happy pill I've been looking for my whole life. Also I may be one of the few but it seems to have increased my sex drive. Weird huh!"


"So first off I have generalized anxiety, panic attacks, worry 24/7 etc. At first my doctor prescribed me Lexapro and worked great for 2 months and then started getting depression, and all my symptoms again. Also all I wanted to do was sleep then sleep some more and so on. So my doc switched me to bupropion HCL ER XL 300mg and only took two days to start feeling the effects, from the switch. I feel better already, can actually focus and get out of my head, have energy, feel great, and have interest in hobbies I once had. Felt very little anxiety today but so far I feel like I'm getting my life back! Also take Buspar but only started taking it a few days ago so hopefully all goes well!"


"Amoxicillin is the drug of choice by my doctor/dentist from tooth infection to bronchitis.   It always works for me with no problems or side effect. Except for the last two times I was on this med I notice I've been having headache and I feel really tired and feels like I have the flu, my throat is sore and itchy and I want to keep coughing and my back feels cold inside.  I know now for sure  it's the amoxicillin and will inform my Dr.   My ear pain is disappearing so its fighting off my ear infection  and my hearing is back to normal.   But I will definitely finish this round  even with the side effect im feeling, because not being able to hear properly had freak me out and is a scarier prospect"


"My 4 year old takes 0.5mg dissolvable tablets twice a day. It has helped a little with sleep, but more with aggression.  The pharmacy changed it to a off name brand, he's aggression got 3 times worse. He's doctor switched it to name brand and he was back to normal. I was told that this is common with some off brands. We can't believe there's that big a difference."


"Thank you all for the reviews! Got me through a lot of stressing! Plan b works! Ladies at first it may seem like forever! I had unprotected sex and had to wait almost two weeks late for my period to come on! At first I had a brown discharge and this morning got my period!"


"My doctor has just switched me from Atripla, with Sustiva in it to Darunavir. The bliss of no side effects is wonderful. I do not mind taking four tablets rather than one if it gives me back a quality of life which, after 3 days, Darunavir does.I can now sleep, eat, and function under Darunavir. Would recommend to anyone experiencing problems with Sustive/Atripla to consider this drug."


"It saved my baby. I was was showing signs of miscarrying because of my hormone levels. I took this for 12 weeks. The bleeding stopped the next day and I now have a healthy little girl!"


"I have PCOS and my gynecologist recommended that I take Yaz or Ocella. I took Ocella about a week, but after feeling numbness in my arm I decided to look up reviews on Yasmin, Yaz, and Ocella. I was horrified. I stopped Ocella and my PCOS started to get worse so I searched for medications that were good to treat PCOS. Yasmin had awesome reviews from people with PCOS (not so much for those with out it). I read allot of reviews and found that most people can tell a difference btw Yasmin and Ocella. I don't have insurance, but to me the price is worth it! I've lost weight, have my period again which makes me feel normal, my breast have only slightly gotten larger but don't hurt, and my skin only breaks out when I'm on my period."


"Got it in Feb. '13(19 yrs) bc I had really heavy periods. Seen a lot of mixed reviews about insertion pain. I did not feel anything during insertion & only had a slight achy pain in my arm after for a week. If the procedure is done right, you should notfeel anything. If u do, tell your Dr! I had maybe 2 or 3 days of spotting & after that nothing!! I've always had depression/anxiety so honestly can't say either way if this is normal. I have gained a significant amount of weight since, however my dr pointed out that I had been rapidly gaining weight before(thanks college!). I ALWAYS had perfect skin & now I struggle badly w/ acne so this could have been a side effect. Just remember, every women is diff. discuss the decision throughly w/ ur Dr."


"I have found that Ultram ER does not help the Restless Leg Syndrome. "


"I take 50 mg of  Zoloft  and  3 x 2mg  Xanax a day  and  1 Adderall XR 30mg. I was so depressed at one time before I got on these medicines. "


"I had my mirena inserted 3 weeks ago on the 28th. The procedure itself was probably the most painful thing I have ever experienced, however the doctor had a hard time getting my cervix to cooperate so it took longer than most. I was on the 2nd day of my period when I got it inserted and when I went in it was fairly heavy and I had really bad cramps. Literally since the day of insertion my period hasn't ended. It is extremely light, some days barely even spotting, and I haven't needed to use a tampon or anything since. It is kind if a nuissance but after reading many reviews and talking with friends I feel like it will be worth it in the long run. Do some research yourself as well as talk to your doctor about options before making a decision"


"My doc said, "let's try sulfafalazine ".So we did, and I've been on 1000mg three times a day. Don't even realize I have Crohns disease most of the time. (Recommended).  There is that other part where everyone gets a different reaction thoe.....
."


"One of the most effective antibiotics that I've ever taken. Cured pneumonia with 103. 1 grade fever after only one day after starting using medicine and without any side effects. I take 500 mg twice daily for 5 days."


"I have been on this for 2 weeks. Absolutely no effect AT ALL! Nothing but abdominal pain and bloating."


"I have trouble staying asleep.  Doctor prescribed belsomra @ 5 mg. Fell asleep as I normally do,  woke up 90 minutes later just like always.  Took another 5mg, fell asleep,  woke up every hour,  on the hour.  No effect at all.
And I'm not withdrawing from ambien,  I haven't tried any rx for insomnia."


"I am new to Loestrin and so far I am satisfied. The main reason why I started birth control was because of painful menstrual cycles. I have only been on Loestrin for 2 weeks, but so far so good. I was hoping for a little help with increasing the size of my breasts, but so far nothing. Hopefully this works for me and for everybody that is taking Loestrin!"


"I have been taking the 2.5mg dosage of amlodipine for 4 months. The first month, I experience no side effects and pressure went from 140/80 to 124/70.  By month 2, my vision became a little blurry and my osteoarthritis worsened in my back and fingers. I am still trying to work through this with exercise and massage. My doctor thinks I should stay with it a little longer. I actually felt better with the high blood pressure!"


"I have been taking prozac,going on week 2 now.

The symptoms are almost unbearable.  My stomach gets upset,can barely eat. I can't even sleep at all. It's like I am tired...but I can't sleep. And I feel tired all day. The one thing I can't stand...is the light headed feeling,and I am shaky all the time. It gets bad.....

I'm about ready to throw this medication in the trash. The symptoms are almost as bad as my anxiety attacks. In fact...it makes it worse."


"I have taken Effexor on and off for nearly ten years for depression and anxiety brought on by a sudden traumatic situation.  It took a week or so for the side effects to disappear when I first started.  I felt so well that I weaned myself off it which took at least a week with side effects.  I have done this twice thinking I was very well and able to cope which I do when I take the medication.  However, I have come to realize that I need to stay on it and my husband now understands that it keeps me well, happy and balanced.  If I miss a tablet I feel quite nauseous and a bit unbalanced even though I only take 75mg once a day.  I have come to realize that there a lot of people out there, including many high profile people who need Effexor."


"Well, I did not get pregnant. I started this birth control on January 1st of this year and have been on my period ever since. It's now May 4th and I'm still bleeding heavily. It's not even spotting, it's just a full-on period for five months. I have spoken to my doctor multiple times and he said that it should stop but apparently it's not going to do that. On top of this, I have become extremely depressed and stressed out as a result. I just switched to camrese and I do not feel depressed anymore, though still stressed but that could be from the never ending menstruation. Literally the only good thing that has come from mononessa was the avoidance of pregnancy"


"I am allergic to Fosamax. My doctor gave me an Atelvia sample to try and I found I had no side effects from this medicine. I credit this to its time-release function."


"I've been on Belviq almost 4 weeks started June 26 2015 212 starting weight. I have not lost a lb I can tell my appetite has decreased a lot. Doing the gym thing as well but will go the twelve weeks to see if I lose any thing. Will report next 4 weeks."


"I am currently on my last week of the fist month starter pack. During the first week I had dropped from a pack a day to two or three cigarettes a day. I have currently been smoke free for over a week and a half. I have no desire and the smell is terrible. The strange dreams cause me to lose a lot of sleep and the nausea has been very bad, causing me to cut my pills down to half a 1mg twice a day. My boyfriend is also taking the pills and after day three became very irritable for a while and has now leveled back out. Other than that he is doing well and has had no other side effects."


Osteolytic Bone Metastases of Solid Tumors

"Been on it for about 4 years.   Very little side effects.  Maybe some lower back pain but I have terrible mets to bones almost everywhere that I could hardly tell if this med adds to pain.   No other problems.  I have been getting it for so long that they cut it back to every three months about 2 1/2 years ago.  Worried about necrosis to the jaw."


"I've been on enbrel for about 2 years now. I can't go out in the sun because of the rash i get all over my chest and back ( side effect of enbrel)  I never had any eye problems until I started using enbrel, now I need new glasses about every 6 months ( side effect of enbrel) . Do the benefits outweigh the side effects? In my case no! I'm done with enbrel."


"Been on Victoza for about 3 months. Lost 20+ pounds. Started at .6 for two weeks then upped to 1.2 for a week and 1.8 since then. I've tried everything to control my blood sugar. Before Victoza, I was running about 165-195 in the morning and 140-150 all day. Metformin made it higher. Xigduo made it higher and had horrible side effects. Tried a few others with zero positive results.

Victoza worked the best once I hit 1.8 dose. My morning BS is never higher than about 110 and I'm always <100 throughout the day.

The biggest thing is that it completely controls my appetite. I work from home full-time and used to snack all day. With Victoza, I have to make myself eat and I eat very small portions. I'm just not hungry AT ALL. Love it!"


"I was prescribed Loestrin 24 Fe a few years back by my GYN. I only took it for about a month then stopped due to side effects such has dizziness and chest pain."


"I have been taking Adderall XR 30mg for about 7 months now and I am starting to get concerned. I started out with 20mg, but was still very impulsive, so upped the dose to 30mg. I can focus and listen really well, but I am noticing increasing negative effects. I noticed dizziness right away, but this improved after a few weeks. Then I started to notice myself constantly stumbling over words when talking. I have NEVER had that problem before. I began to get headaches every day about two months ago and it is getting worse daily. That's a big concern to me because amphetamines are bad for the liver and kidneys as it is, and now I HAVE to take increasing doses of ibuprofen just to "take the edge off" of the headaches. "


"Slept like a baby and felt rested when I woke up. Helped with night back pain also after MVA. Helped with depression due to having good night sleep to deal with my daily activities."


"I've had a persistent UTI and been through 2 rounds of oral antibiotics and it kept coming back despite having had a culture done to determine what would be effective. Once the pain got bad enough that the pyridium was no longer effective, I called the doctor and begged for help while still waiting for the second culture results. They gave me a shot of Rocephin. By morning I felt 85% better. The second day, I still feel a twinge of symptom here and there, but feel soooo much better. The shot hurts, yes. But it's not THAT bad, and there is was lidocaine in my injection to help with that. Powerful stuff - so glad they gave it to me!"


"Absolutely terrible medicine!! Does nothing for pain.  Ibuprofen 800 is about the  equivalent. Not to mention constipation. Asked to be lowered from these to 5mg regular oxycodone & my doc wouldn't do it. Needless to say I'm in the process of finding a new doctor. If you have a choice between Oxyado & anything else opt for the latter."


"I started Contrave in June 2017 with a weight of 319 lbs as of August 19 I'm down to 283 lbs. I have had nothing but success with this medicine. As far as side effects go the only thing was constipation and mild hot flashes. I would and have recommend this medicine."


"I had slight depression I was told by my councillor, she had put me on this medication to try and help lift my mood while still having meetings for the councilling! Within 2 months I was down to the lowest I had ever been and attempted suicide, a few weeks after I decided to take myself off the medication as it was making me worse, I have been so much happier than I ever was while on that medication, it is such a dangerous drug not to be used for mild cases as it makes it worse in my opinion."


"I couldn't control my emotions and this has helped a lot."


"Percocet is great for relieving my chronic pain. I have endometriosis, and have tried so many pain relievers- Naproxen,  Tramadol, Norco, and MS Contin to name a few. Oxyxodone has worked best for me because the onset is fast and it is a little stronger than Norco and Tramadol. The only downside is I only get about 3 hrs of pain relief from one dose, but its a life saver when your in horrible pain."


"Tried this medication for opioid induced constipation. Have been on opioids for chronic pain issues for about 7 years. Have also had rectal cancer and have a permanent colostomy bag. This medication did nothing to help my constipation. It caused severe stomach cramping after about one hour after I took it.   With a colostomy bag you should never be constipated. I do take four capfuls of marilax daily.  This does make me have a very runny stool. It is expensive though and doesn't taste the greatest. In fact I can hardly get the Marilax down at this point.  I can't seem to find anything really to help.  I also take 4 Sennakot tablets every day.  I wouldn't recommend this medication."


"This medicine helped with my anxiety a lot. I tend to get very anxious during the night and it can keep me up at times. I'm on 0.5 mg and its works great! I finally get to sleep and not constantly worry about things. Although one downside is when I wake up. I still feel sedated and tired for about 3 hours but overall a very good medicine."


"This is the only medicine that has really taken my generalized anxiety disorder away with so many less side effects. I've had GAD just about all my life and am now 36.  I have tried Celexa, Lexepro, Zoloft, Cymblata, Effexor, Wellbutrin, Buspar and find most of them are too stimulating or make me so tired with no ambition, or feel like I'm going crazy. I would self medicate and made my life even worse. I have been on Paxil on and off trying to get something that would work but the Paxil is the best for me for anxiety but I lost all my ambition, creativity, interest in just about everything. I would get so tired it's crazy. I would lose my sex drive.  "


"I've been on Synthroid for over 15 years due to Hashimoto's Disease and also partial thyroidectomy due to a nodule.   For anyone who is on the medication and says they are feeling depressed, tired, etc. check into the symptoms of hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's disease as it may be that your medication is not at the right dose.  My doctor considers 'normal' TSH to be between 1 and 3 while the AMA lists it as between 1 and 5.  When I am at a 4, I do not feel well and have all the symptoms.  DON'T just STOP taking this medication on your own as you can have severe side effects, GO back to your doctor and discuss how you feel.  I cannot take the generics as they do not work for me.  Only SYNTHROID for me!  (I'm on 225 a day!)"


"Never written a review but this product is sensational. Best creme on the market, doesn't irritate skin and very effective for preventing and healing acne. Works well on face but even better on chest/back I found. Just a few heads up. Don't use with any hydrogen peroxide based products(moisturizer creme etc) at this will temporarily turn your skin brown. Also don't apply too much at a time as it takes a long time to absorb(it will be visible for a short period).

After using accutane I thought that was the only thing that could really help acne but this works almost as well"


"Have taken methylphenidate for narcolepsy for over 15 years with positive results and no adverse effects to date. My dosage has increased from 10mg 3x daily (1999) to 40mg 4x daily (2004) with the desired effects received, and none of the adverse effects."


"I have been taking different medicines for depression for the last 20 years.  I have tried almost everything and Wellbutrin is the only thing that has even helped me.  I have noticed only a very minor improvement but it is better than no improvement.  I was advised to take Cymbalta with it.  Even with my insurance, it still costs me $50 a month!  I tried it for 3 months with no noticeable change.  I can't afford to waste money on something that may or may not work.  I figured for that much money, this drug should be very good.  At least the Wellbutrin only costs me $10 a month and I do get some noticeable help from it."


"I've been on Lo Loestrin Fe for 6 months now for birth control and heavy periods. It first took a little bit to regulate and so the second month my period was two weeks long, but it was extremely light. I went from bleeding for 7 days straight through tampons and pads every few hours to being able to wear a pantiliner and change it mid day without worrying about bleeding through. My periods only last 3 days now and I have little cramping. I have experienced mood swings the first week I start a new month of medication and my boobs have increased in size and one is slightly larger than the other. I have had some cramping throughout the month and missed my period the 4th month. I was scared I was pregnant but other women have experienced the same issue. I've had few issues."


"I am on the generic version of ortho tri-cyclen lo. I've only been on it for one month, but so far I love it. I'm coming off of 5+ years of depo shots, so I know my body hasn't fully gotten rid of the depo yet. For this reason, I still haven't gotten a period on ortho yet. But my mood hasn't changed, I haven't gained weight, and I don't have acne or nausea. I am slightly worried about getting pregnant because of prior reviews where this has happened on ortho, but my husband pulls out as well so I'm hoping we'll be fine. My boobs have gotten bigger, which I love! They are rounder and fuller. They are slightly more tender than usual but not to the point where it hurts. Anyway I haven't been on it long but I wanted to leave a positive review!"


"Although it helped with the headaches associated with a concussion it caused major itching and hives."


"Great medication, worked like magic for me.  However, the major side effect that makes me stop it is the weight gain aspect.  It makes me eat all the time and have cravings to sugar all day long.  I have been on and off Remeron for the last 5 years and the only reason that I am off it is the weight gain.  I have tried many many medications but nothing worked for me.  Remeron is the only anti-depressant that gives me back my life."


"Only thing that stops my very complex seizures- tried almost everything and it never helped + terrible side effects *UNTIL* I was prescribed this since I was a teen. Easiest on my system and no side effects."


"Difficult personal situations caused my Ativan usage to creep up to 3-4x/day. When I started being perimenopause, I was also suffering with terrible depression, which I have never had before. My GYN prescribed Lexapro, and I've always been against taking an SSRI because of the side effects and feeling like I could just "work through" the anxiety, but the depression was debilitating. I forced myself to take the first pill, and the next day, I realized I wasn't under a cloud of stress anymore. It worked well for about 3 weeks, and then I was irritable and the anxiety was back. I just started on 20mg and feel optimistic. Only minor side effects: headache, some nausea the first few days, insomnia. I've lost weight, which is a plus!"


"Pristq. Well.

It's still early days but I'd like to share my experience already with this medication. (I'm only on 50mg, no idea how in the world people are surviving on 100mg). The first few days can be described basically as absolute hell on earth. The side effects kicked in almost immediately after waking up the morning after taking it (night dose). It honestly felt exactly like coming down hard off ecstasy. I had absolutely no ability to function for hours. Then the nausea, the dizziness, the headaches, the jaw clenching, out of body feeling, feelings of euphoria and depression all at once. In short it was an absolute joy! But it does get better! And it really works a treat. I find myself laughing a lot more, anxiety is half as bad."


"Took about 10 minutes to kick in. Felt like a total zombie all night, I was completely useless. The next day I was dizzy. Boo, atarax!"


"Hi Everyone I had a bad experience with this birth control. I was taking another birth control before this one. I switched to this one bc of my mood. And around the 3rd month I went crazy. I started to think weirdly I started to think I didn't love my boyfriend anymore.  And I know it's not true but it is the WORST. I went off it about a month ago and I still have the worst depression and anxiety. I can't even look at my boyfriend the same anymore and it breaks my heart. But I heard it gets better and these thoughts will go away. Remember ladies  never act when your on birth control it's not you! But this made my realtionship the worst.  So I needed a break from birth control after this one a break is well needed!

Good luck ladies!"


"I got heart palpitations, really bad - like almost constant. I was taking the 40 mcg one puff twice a day. I switched to flovemt and all is well."


"Ive been on Accutane for 2 months.I went through random breakouts and I turned to Birth Control to help control the hormones causing my acne. It helped but not as much as Accutane could, so I gave it a shot! I have scars from my acne so I always wear liquid and powder cover up. If anyone else is on Accutane and wears makeup, the dry skin is probably making your makeup look dry and cakey!
"


"I had my Liletta put in on May 3rd this year. Keep in mind I've never had children or been pregnant. During insertion I felt the most intense pain I had ever experienced before. I was one of the few that went into "shock" after having it put in. My cramps lasted the entire time I had it in and I had painful intercourse as well. I recently took it out myself and already feel a ton better. When I pulled the IUD out I noticed it was crooked instead of in a T shape. I am one of the few to have a bad experience but please talk to your doctor about it if you have any issues!"


"I frequently will experience itchiness all over my body & will break out in hives and can't stop the itching despite use of topical Benadryl etc. My doctor prescribed Atarax a few years ago & while it stops the itching in its tracks, I also sleep for an insane amount of time. Generally it's about 18 solid hours of drowsiness to the point I can't even keep myself awake for longer than 20 minutes. I absolutely hate it. An entire day totally wasted. I'm prescribed 25 mg every 6 hours as needed although I have never had to take a second dose within 24 hours."


"Great for not getting pregnant; however, awful for cramping and irregular periods, sometimes lasting for a month. Also, I have had it for a year and have gained 60 lbs, I plan on switching. I am always very emotional on it too. Do not recommend"


"I am down 13 pounds in 10 days of taking this medication .. haven't eaten much since starting so I'm pushing the fluids to keep hydrated. No exercise but I'm a Mom of 4 so Im kept busy run l moving around after kids. Jitters insomnia dry mouth and dizziness are some side effects I've had but hoping that my body adjusts to the medicine soon."


"Diagnosed with depression and started Prozac 2 weeks ago, have had one good day since. Libido has totally gone, feel zombie like most mornings, however very, very focused in the afternoon. Will continue with course, here's hoping it works."


"This is a very powerful drug. Eventually I got up to 300mg a night, it made me relaxed and I sleep like a baby."


"Im 18 years old & have been suffering with acne since I was 11/12. I tried EVERY over counter spot treatment and every medication prescribed by the doctor. Some worked for a few weeks but my spots always returned. Being a dancer, I have to wear a lot of stage makeup so the doctor telling me 'don't wear makeup' really wasn't helpful. Finally I was refereed to the hospital and prescribed a 20mg dosage of accutane for a 6 month period. I started my first tablet a month and 5 days ago & I have already seen a reduction in the amount of new breakouts. The side effects have been tough already, I've had sore lips & inside my nose like you wouldn't believe, also had a bit of stomach pain recently & tiredness. Will update my accutane journey in a month:)"


"I have a lot of kidney stones so I get a lot of urinary tract infections. I am on Macrobid now and it only took 3 long days to get rid of the fever and feel better. I can't take Bactrim and some others so I don't have a lot of choices, but this really worked for me"


"I started Belviq thanks to my mom. She had been taking Belviq and already lost a considerable amount of weight. I visited her doctor and I've now been taking Belviq for 2 weeks. My cravings are almost gone; I'm able to resist food and control my urges. Side effects are non existent."


"One week on Bleviq - lost 5lbs!!!   NO EXERCISE.  Imagine what I could lose if I did (which I will now that the weather is clearing)..... It makes the hunger go away and I am full off of SO little.  Its awesome."


"Currently 19 years old. Tri-Sprintec is the first birth control pill I have tried. I have been using Tri-Sprintec for 5 months now and am happy with this pill. My skin complexion is so much better, my periods are no longer irregular (however I do get spotting the week before my period), libido and weight are the same as when I started, and most importantly, I'm not pregnant. However, I do notice that I am more emotionally sensitive than I used to be. Other then that, Tri-Sprintec is working out great for me."


"My son is currently 19 and was diagnosed with ADD when he was 8. He has been on many different medications with Adderall XR being the most recent. When he was in 10th grade the panic and anxiety attacks became so severe that we had to take him off Adderall. He has been taking Vyvanse (70mg)for about 2 years and really likes this medication. He does take himself off in summer for a break. Only side effect we've noticed is high blood pressure which we keep a close eye on. He likes this medicine, the best and really has helped with focus."


"I have been using Tegretol retard 200mg for ten  years now. I made the mistake of forgetting to collect my script from my doctors for a week! I have been lucky as I did not have a seizure, but my word I have been so poorly, depressed, loss of appetite, and body tingles, from my lips to my toes. I never realized how important it is to take my pills till now. I will never make that mistake again, the 1st day I started them again, I was a ball of tears, very sad and tired, but a day later I'm back to my old happy self. I'll never forget them again."


"Normally I only peruse these listings, but this time I thought I owed it to all my fellow readers to give a detailed review.  I began taking 10mg methyfolate around 10 days ago at the urging of my father, who, for obvious reasons, shares a very similar genetic predisposition toward depression and anxiety.  The results?  All I can say is wow.  Within 1 day, I felt like my internal motor that had been idling along at a 5 out of 10 had been turned up to a 10 for the first time in a long time.  I had more energy, clearer thoughts, happier disposition, appetite and libido returned full force.  My only regret is not trying this stuff sooner.  If it feels like nothing has ever really solved the problem before, please try this.  It's a miracle."


"I took Arimidex for 5 years and I've been cancer free for over 6 years now."

"I haven't necessarily experienced any adverse physical changes since I started taking this pill. No weight gain, no change in acne, my breasts are still the same size... However, I have transformed into a complete grouch. Although no one seems to notice, other than myself, I have been an emotional wreck. One minute I'm ecstatic, the next minute I'm tempted to rip my boyfriend's head off. I don't recommend this pill. "


"so i am 30 years old  two kids. never been on bcp before.  i got on it to make sure not to get pregnant as i am content with just having  two kids. i have only been on it for two weeks. and it has been horrible.  been nauseous and have been having severe headaches, which i never get, and to top it off oh boy i have been EMOTIONAL!!!!has not been fun at all.  figure ill try it for a lil longer but if these symptoms continue i will not be able to handle feeling like this everyday."


"34 yo; overweight; pcos: I went to the doc for bc because my pcos was causing abnormal bleeding again. I wasn't prescribed a combo pill because I've had migraine before and was assured Nora-Be would stop the prolonged bleeding I was experiencing. Nope. My flow increased dramatically on day 3, I've had stronger cramps than I've ever experienced before, my whole body is swollen (feet and legs especially), my mood and energy has plummeted, and my frustration has increased After much research I've discovered that the progestin norethindrone is the worst kind for pcos."


"Well I had a YI about 8 months ago and decided to use Monistat 7. Yes, it burns like hell!! But only because it's working. As the days go by the burning and itching will diminish. By day 5 I hardly felt anything. And on day 7 I was back to normal. About a week ago I started with another YI and decided to use the 3 day. Didn't work. Had to go back and get the 7 day treatment. Again, it burns and itches like crazy, but because I've used it before I know it will pass. It is very uncomfortable, but hang in there. It does work if you use it everyday the way it says. "


"I use tramadol as an alternative to triptans like Amerge and Imitrex. Unfortunately I get 20 - 25 migraines a month. I am scheduled for a meds update with my neurologist and will be giving Botox a try. I have been more concerned about the rebound issue than addiction. A one month refill lasts me more than four and on those wonderful days that I don't have pain, I don't take it. Those periods can run from 3 - 6 days. The tramadol rarely kills 100% of the pain, but I'm usually functional. The Amerge and Zomig were giving me terrible stomach pain and palpitations. Tramadol has been very helpful for me without any issues. However I do make a point of regularly reviewing my usage with my doctor."


"I've been prescribed this antibiotic many times.  I just realized that with my current course for a skin infection that I sweat profusely when I take this.  The last time
I had episodes of profuse sweating was the last time I was on this!  I don't see it listed anywhere as a side effect, but it seems to happen to me every time I take it. "


"My docter started me on clomid five months ago and no luck. Every month I get my hopes up. I get nausea breast feel different a week before I start my period. I take a test before I start my period and always negative and then I get my period
My docter put me on half a pill which equal 6 days starting on my third day of period.   I need advice I keep telling myself quit it and except but I truly want another baby with my husband as he wants one also I feel like a failure and I am letting him down"


"Have tried about everything for rosecea. Metrogel mirvaso lasers chamomile and finally went to get a holistic spa treatment where I got facial. She said your rosecea is bad going to use mix of rose extract oil and Moroccan oil. My redness was gone the entire day. Bought these oils online and not greasy. Not only is my rosecea under control but I have a nice healthy glow and was actually carded. The girl said I look under 40 they card under 40.  I am 50 years old. My skin looks and feels younger and is so hydrated."


"I have been on this pill for almost a year and it is the best. My periods are 2-3 days long and are so light I only need a liner. I've had no adverse effects. I highly HIGHLY recommend this pill.  Only downside is the cost.  My insurance copay is $25."


"Took 2 pills around 7 pm at night and awoke at 6 am next morning with light cramping which intensified. I had 2 normal bowel movements followed by 4 or 5 progressively looser movements. However by this time I had developed intense cramping and severe nausea. I vomited 5 times till there was only yellow bile which burned my stomach and oesphagus but I continued to dry heave with nothing coming. The nausea was severe. Worst of my life. Gas, bloating and late night cramps have continued for 2 days after taking this drug. Effective - yes gentle - not at all, and for me not worth the lingering discomfort. Will not take again."


"I switched from Microgynon to Yazmin due to suffering from almost all terrible side effects including fatigue, loss of libido and mood swing. I have had 4 packs of Yazmin so far. At the first three months, I feel a lot better. I was happier and even had better libido. However, starting from the 4 packs, I started to have some side effects. I am slowly losing my libido and became moody. Yet, my breast seems to be bigger, had shorter and lighter period, and haven't had breast pain and fatigue at all."


"This birth control works and does its job, it's just the mood swings that have been terrible for me.  I cry all the time over nothing and I go from being happy to angry to depressed.  I feel it putting a strain on my relationship and I am considering going off it.  On the plus side, however, my period cramps are now nonexistent.  I haven't experienced any weight gain or cravings (I've always eaten a lot though so it's hard to tell!).  My acne actually got better, but only slightly and that could be due to other factors.  I just feel like the mood swings outweigh the benefits and I just want to feel better."


"I've been on letrozole for a year.  After doing preliminary research about it, I really didn't want to go on it, but felt I had to give it a try.  The most serious SEs for me were severe joint pain and feeling frail; mood swings, and strong hot flashes.  The first 2 were bad enough that, after being on the drug for 8 months, I decided to take a break from it.  I went off for 3 weeks, then started back, but now I take it at night before bed.  I also started walking to keep weight gain at bay.  Since making those 2 changes, I've had no more joint pain or mood swings, and I feel healthier than I have in a long time.  Still have hot flashes, but they're tolerable.  I'm not sure why those changes would make that much difference, but they do."


"This medication sucks. I only experienced side effects and no benefit. I would rather spend my time looking for another way to treat my illness than to give any of these antipsychotics another chance. All of them cause weight gain sexual side effects, tardive dyskensia, tardive dystonia among other side effects that could mess you up for life.  I admit it's very debilitating at times but I would rather have my orginal problems than to be given another set of problems to replace them. If your psychosis is really bad and you can't live a normal life at all and your homeless and you scare people or end up in jail because your illness than I say take it. But if you can wait till they figure out how to make better meds than wait."


"Cipro is the only thing that gets rid of my bladder infections. It is fantastic and I ask for it whenever I get a bladder infection. I do notice that I need to take it hours apart from my hypothyroid medication, or else it decreases the effectiveness of my thyroid medicines.  But Cipro is the only thing that cures my bladder infections."


"I suffer from migraines, and although this drug significantly reduced my acid, it seemed to trigger my migraines for four consecutive days. I am disappointed that I had to get off it, am trying Prilosec now."


"Paxil literally saved my life.  I have been on Paxil since I was 26 and I am now 40.  Out of the blue, I started having severe panic attacks.  My psychiatrist gave me paxil.  From that day forward, I have not had any panic attacks.  The only reason I gave this medication a 9 out of 10 is because, I gained almost 100 lbs on it.  I have since lost 50 lbs.  It is a great medication for panic disorder;  however for depression, I would take something else."


"I am taking 900mg of lithium for bipolar and Seroquel. I was on 600mg and it made me gain 20 pounds in 3 weeks so I got off also due to high cholesterol. and I was put on Latuda last week. I threw up the 1st two days taking it and it was hell but now I'm used to it and feel calm and sleep better. So far so good. Stopped gaining and now I don't care to eat as much. GREAT."


"I'm 43 and have been using Frova for 8 years.  My migraines have been debilitating since puberty. I know my life could have turned out so much better if I would have had Frova in my teens and twenties. I've lost dream jobs because of migraines, I've had to quit college because of migraines.

I was never dependable due to having headaches. Thank God I have Frova now!!!

It truly has changed my life!!!!!"


"This medicine is amazing and I would like to thank all the inventors and people involved in developing and commercializing this medication. I was afflicted with a pneumonia and after I started taking, I started seeing a benefit within 24-48 hours. 7 days of treatment did the job and I have myself back."


"I have High Blood pressure! It was under control with medication. I was put on Chantix because I truly wanted to kick the habit. Well! for me after about 3 days I found I couldn't lift my head off the pillow without my BP dropping (well below what was normal for me.) Others I know have had no side effects and are still smoke free."


"I have been given this medicine every year for the past 3 years when I get bronchitis. Every year, I forget about the symptoms from previous years but I am done taking this medicine. After the 3rd or 4th day, I get really bad muscle aches and the Dr's don't do anything about it. I can't sleep and will come to the point that I can barely move because of all the pain I am in. I will start remembering this from now on so I don't experience it again."


"I am 21 and I had my Mirena inserted in March of this year. I had heard a lot of scary stories and people telling me not to get it. I continued anyway and had it put it. I had it inserted 4 months after my daughter was born. I personally think that having the Mirena put in was worse than child birth. I cramped for a couple of days and then it didn't hurt anymore. My doctor told me that my period may completely go away but she said most likely it would just slow way down. The reason I don't like it is because the removal strings feel like fishing line and haven't softened like my doctor said they would. It hurts during sex. Plus I have NO sex drive whatsoever. I just don't like it."


"I have suffered from depression for years. I'm 33 years old and have been on and off medications since I was 12. I was on Zoloft for years. Which worked for me, the sexual side effects really got to me and my marriage which ended in divorce. I decided to give Viibryd a try. I lasted a month. At first, it started to help. I wasn't as edgy and had more patience with my children. However I hated the way this medication made my stomach feel. I felt bloated all he time and my stomach was always making gurgling sounds. After week 4 I started to become irritable and just couldn't deal with it. I am going to try Wellbutrin now. On day two so far so we'll see how it goes!"


"I am a woman in my 40s and I weighed 290 lbs. when I started taking Belviq in Sept. 2014. Now I weigh 206. I still have a ways to go. The weight loss was fast in the beginning, but now, it is slow, but steady, which my doctor says is the best way to lose weight because the faster you lose, the faster you regain it. Unlike most diet drugs, Belviq has no side effects whatsoever. It doesn't entirely suppress the appetite, but helps you eat sensibly. I've heard others who take Belviq say that it works best for people who live alone and aren't tempted by what family members, who aren't on a diet, are eating. I highly recommend Belviq, but only for those who are committed to losing weight."


"2006 tested positive for  R.A with low symptoms. Started with methotrexate for 8 years along with 1 tablet of folic acid - no problems.  Sept 2014 R.A. advances to severe symptoms and specialist removes medication due to effecting the liver. Primary doctor suggests using Embrel.  Used it for 6 months - no improvement.  Switch to Humira and worked for one month.  Severe symptoms are in feet, hands and neck.  Inflammation are the main reasons that these areas are effected more often. Hopefully the is something else in pill form.  Shots are painful and do nothing for me."


"I am 36 years old. I have previously been on Loestrin 24 FE then Generess FE.  My physician switched me to Minastrin and I have gained weight, I am so lathargic and tired all of the time.  I am moody and overall unhappy which I have never had in my life.  I get cramps periodically and I get spotting at random times although very very light.  This is the most horrible pill I have ever been on. I will be getting off of it immediately."


"My second time taking avelox for pneumonia.  The benefits out weigh the side effects.  I had most of the side effects associated with this medication.  From feeling extremely weak and tired, anxious, fast heart beat, nausea, vomiting, headache.

However it cleared up my pneumonia."


"I love this birth control. I've just finished my fourth month and I no longer have periods. After month one, around the time of the two brown inactive pills, I only had very light spotting, but only one small panty liner for one day was enough. Ever since I've taken this, I haven't had any cramps or backaches, I now have wonderfully clear skin, and my boobs actually became a cup size smaller. I haven't noticed any weight gain and overall there haven't been any negative side effects for me. I love this prescription- it's perfect for everything I need it for."


"I chose the Nexplanon as my birth control in hopes of staying safe in an easier way. When I first got it I spotted for about 2 weeks. After that I didn't have a period from February 2016- August 2016. Right before I had my period I noticed I was really dry and felt as if I really was in need of having a period. Talk about period withdraws!! Literally a few days after I started feeling like that I started my period. I noticed my period was very light and lasted for a week. Then I spotted for another month. I haven't had a full period since then but sometimes when I have sex I do notice I may bleed as if i'm on my period. This is my normality right now."


"I do take Cozaar 25mg four times a day. Taking it once a day did not work for me but my doctor agreed to my suggestion to quarter the 100mg size and my blood pressure has come down well. I do also take Clonidine with it. This combination has brought my blood pressure down to 128/76. I must say I am lucky in that my doctor was prepared to go along with my suggestion of using these amounts rather than larger doses. Yes, one pill a day would be great, but these suit me better."


"Hi, I'm a recently divorced dad with 3 children. My entire life was turned upside down and inside out. I lost all my friends, went from being financially secure to having a 500k mortgage at the age of 47. I was living in total darkness and totally dysfunctional, finding faults, especially in my current partner and her children. My self esteem was non existent. I'm taking Lexapro 10 mg a day and now I feel like I could carry the entire universe on my shoulders and could concur the world."


"I just turned 29 years old and I've been on Loestrin 24 Fe for almost 8 months now and I am ready to go back to Triphasil, which I had been on for years previously. I believe it's fairly effective at preventing pregnancy, but considering I have next to no sex drive (as my husband can attest) it may be hard to tell. Also, I had maintained the same weight for years, and after being on Loestrin for 5 or 6 months I somehow gained over 10lbs with no change in my eating habits. The only positive effects were it did shorten and lighten my periods significantly."


"About 15 minutes after taking exactly the dose indicated, I fainted and cracked my head on the floor resulting in a brain hemorrhage!  Several tests were done in the hospital to rule out any other reason for fainting. The only conclusion is that I had a severe reaction to the ingredient in this cough medicine. Be careful!! Read all the reviews BEFORE taking this medicine!"


"Suboxone was great for my opiate dependence. I was using 160 mg oxy daily and really wanted to be free from its painful grip that it had on me. I tried quitting cold turkey but couldn't stand the withdrawal symptoms. So I went to a doctor and got on Suboxone. Things were great until I started tapering off of it and eventually quit. The withdrawal was not as painful as opiate withdrawal but lasted a lot longer. Day 3 was when it began mostly when trying to sleep, cold sweats, the kicks, could not sleep at all. Day 7 now and I have not slept more than 2 hours a night yet. I have read posts on other sites and everyone else has had the same problems. I hear day 10 is when it starts to get better, and that it takes about 2 weeks before its over."


"THis medication did nothing for me!"


"Medication very effective for sinus infection, some doctors recommend Omeprazole for the GI effects, it reduce highly stomach pain."


"3 weeks in and I'm loving it. I've lost 2kg and not as hungry at meal times. My side effects were: thirsty, couldn't drink enough, one night couldn't sleep for 24 hrs. Couple of nights later and I was up for 26 hrs! Everything has settled down now and I think this medicine is fantastic. I have so much MORE energy and sleeping so much better."


"I've had Mirena for almost 4 years. I've had no luck with oral birth control. Low estrogen and progesterone only pills kill my sex drive. Higher estrogen pills make my breasts too sore. Unfortunately, I have stage 4 endometriosis and heavy, extremely painful periods due to cysts. I decided to try Mirena after surgery to prevent any further cysts. I've stuck it out for 4 years, but Mirena is in the category of hormones that have killed my sex drive. I haven't had sex in 4 years for lack of interest. I've realized that, although I never want to go through the pain of endometriosis and ovarian cysts again, giving up any chance at a relationship and being a sexual person is probably not worth it. But its so much easier to use than bc pills."


"I took Yaz for about 4 years.  I loved it at first.  I did go up a cup size and got a little curvier, but overall, it was great.  The last year, however, I started to turn into a monster during my period.  I got severe migraines right at the start of my period and it would last about two days.  I am not sure why the medicine changed on me, but I recently switched to Loestrin24 because I couldn't handle the mood swings and headaches any longer.  My doctor said there was no link in all of these recent changes...I had to disagree with her though because I already feel better after switching. "


"This only gets 5 stars because I'm not pregnant. However, it is such a strong pill! It is my first time taking it and I will never take it again. I've never been so depressed in my life! I don't have an appetite and I have the worst migraines. I never take medication I usually stick to natural remedies so maybe that's why my body is taking it so bad."


"I have been on Victoza for many months now, I reached the highest dose, tried that for a few weeks and developed severe Gastroenteritis, abdominal pain, flatulence and severe belching so had to go on the lowest dose again.

Now I have been taking 1.2 for two weeks and the symptoms have started again, last eve, night and today have been miserable and painful.

I am ready to stop taking Victoza completely, the discomfort is just not worth it for some weight loss and a bit better blood sugar control. I will just have to have an increase in the amount of Lantus and Novalog that I have been taking.

Discouraged with this med."


"Very effective. I had very low numbers and bad muscle aches that made it difficult to walk more than a few blocks. I considered this almost a miracle because it helped so much, so fast. I have found men hate the smell and women love it. Women say, "I don't know what you have on but you sure smell good." On the other hand in a group of men, I see them moving their chairs to get further away from me. No comments, they just move. No known side effects for me."


"I love Cymbalta! I take it with 150mg of Wellbutrin XL. I am on 30mg at this time and in another week my Dr. wants me to up it to 60mg. I finally feel happy and have lots of energy. Combined with the Wellbutrin I have not gained any weight. Life is finally good again."


"I went in today for an Upper GI endoscopy and it went fine. They put oxygen into my nose, hooked me up on monitors and told me to lay on my side. They said "We're going to start giving you the medication, take deep breathes" I looked at my hand with the IV and saw the white propofol going in then rested my head, next thing I know I woke up and was on my way to recovery. It was as if I blinked and then I was in the room. No dreams, No sleep feeling, almost as if I was just dead during those times. Very effective."


"I found it very effective. I maintained an extremely firm erection within the 4 hour period. Side effects were occasional runny nose and like a tired eyes feeling. An unexpected side effect was increased blood flow to the area up until the next day occasionally and could get and maintain an erection."


"Im 30 yrs old and have 1 child who is 8, This was worst pain ever after insertion I could barely drive home/walk! I even took ibuprofen 800mg an hour before my apointment ,had to stop at CVS on the way home to get Tylenol extra strength to add to the ibuprofen BC that alone was not doing anything! Finally went away 30 min later I had it done on June 1st and been bleeding ever since it did lighten up a little then went away for few days but yesterday it came back really heavy! Im guessing I have my period? Also had cramping yest but today I have breast tenderness,nausea,and a migraine! Also the few days when I was not bleeding my boyfriend and I had sex and he says he can feel the strings and for me it kind of hurt. I pray this gets better!!"


"My rheumatologist had me on a very high dosage, so much that I had to pay for two seperate scripts at the pharmacy. I guess so many people do have a positive response to this med, my doctor thought increasing the med mg would result in symptom improvement, however that wasn't the case. I hated (that's a strong word for me) Cymbalta. I was told I acted like another person while on it and not in a good way. Even though I strictly followed my pharmacist and doctors directions when tapering off if this med, I still had severe withdrawal during and after reducing the mg. I even called the doctor and pharmacy because I was so concerned; I all but went to the emergency room in the beginning stages since I had never had withdrawal symptoms before."


"Hello, I was on Risperdal for 3 years, I switched to Invega just over a month ago and am already losing a good deal of weight, I do sometimes get restless but I accept this as the price for not sleeping 17 hours a day on Risperdal, my appetite is normal and I don't eat huge portions anymore, my energy is up and I can actually feel emotions fully again, for the first time in a long long time, would recommend giving this a try to anyone - just remember some people get different side effects, for me this also took away sexual side effects that were limiting my relationships."


"I started taking this medication about 6-7 months ago. The first (and only) side effect I experienced while taking it was drowsiness; it made me extremely tired to the point that I was sleeping 12-14 hours a night, I would wake up exhausted, and around noontime I would have to take a 1-2 hour nap. Overtime, my body adjusted to the medication and I am no longer tired on it. Overall, this medication has helped me significantly. I had a manic episode associated with bipolar disorder, and psychosis along with it. Geodon helped clear my mind, and it has given me virtually no side effects. I used to take it three times a day with food, then I dropped it to two times a day, and now I only take it once a day. I take this medication for bipolar."


"I'm on my second month of nexplanon and i think there are a lot of pros and cons. i love the fact that i don't have to take a pill every single day, and that i am protected as far as pregnancy goes. however, I've had a lot of the negative side effects. I'm already spotting, which is normal but somewhat frustrating. i've also gotten more acne since starting it. i already have stomach issues, but nexplanon has messed with it a little more. but the worst part of it is my mood. i suffer from general anxiety disorder and have bouts of depression and it seems like since starting it's all gotten worse!

however, i'm going to keep using it and work through the stuff, because i do feel protected."


"After having a spinal cord injury, I was placed on very high doses of Pxycontin.  The "long term" pain management plan was for me to continue on Pxycontin and at some point move down to Percocet.  Indefinitely I guess.

Oxycontin made me feel horrible.  I just wanted to sleep all the time. The pain wasn't as bad, but then again, nothing else was either...I was a walking zombie.

I was finally referred to a doctor that had used Suboxone to treat long term pain issues.  Within one week of starting Suboxone, I felt like I had my life back.

I was able to wean down to a dose that works for me, and have no plans of discontinuing use. "


"I am a former college football player who has had narcolepsy for years. I have been on Provigil for over a year now. I started with the lowest dose possible and after 3-6 months am now on the highest dose possible. The medicine has little side effects for me which is great except it curbs my appetite a bit. But I find my body has become immune to the medicine as the impact becomes less and less. I take 4 pills a day and even though I am not falling asleep as much and wasting the day away, I still have no energy. When I am sitting there awake I'm just useless. I don't want to go on an amphetamine but this medicine just isn't working to well for me."


"Makes me feel like I have Hay Fever. Dry sinuses, dry eyes, and dry mouth. I have had chronic insomnia ever since I was 9. Tried Zolpidem but it only works for 3 hours, Lunesta only for about 1.5, Xanax (worked for a while but found myself becoming dependant), and this which not only doesn't help me sleep for jack but also makes my wakefulness even more unpleasant. Tried dosages from 50mg to 250mg. Gonna ask my doc about Zolpidem ER. This stuff sucks."


"Just starting day 3 tomorrow.Seem to feel better already, but very cautious. Have anxiety tho and take Ativan .5 mg, 3   times a day that helps. With all the good rerviews, I am very  hopeful. Wish me luck."


"Very bad expirience!
appeared redness after 1 day of use, more than it was before. I will never use it again!"


"I was prescribed 10 MG for my anxiety and panic attacks and to help me sleep. I like to use it when I just need to clear my head after a stressful day (don't take that the wrong way- I don't abuse it) to help me get to sleep. It usually puts me out pretty soon but latley it hasn't. Don't know what's up with that.."


"I've been on 200mg for 7 months now, yes you can tell a difference. Makes the constant thinking diminish a little, especially under pressure. Ask you doctor if sertraline is right for you. "


"I'm an avid outdoorsman who loved to smoke. Loved the taste and smell since I was 16. I'm now 42 and smoked off on for all those years. This deer season was a life changing experience for me when I found myself really struggling to drag a deer out of the woods. I had never had problems before but I could hardly breath and felt like I was going to die. I had made up my mind right then and there to quit smoking for good. I made an apt to see my doctor and have a physical and talk about Chantix. I started Chantix nearly two weeks ago, smoked the first week when starting it. I am now 5 days smoke free. Still get mild cravings from time to time but they pass generally quick. I have had no major side effects other than a little restless."


"Have battled post traumatic osteoarthritis for years. Over the counter medicines not too effective and I have been through all of the other classes of prescription pain relievers. My doctor prescribed Nucynta (synthetic opioid), made me feel tired and most of the pain was still present. Finally switched me to Percocet, it is absolutely amazing. Although there is some pain occasionally for the most part it is gone and I have much more energy and my depression has lifted. I have also found that most doctor's resist prescribing it and take you through round after round of various pain medicines. With Percocet, I found that it works and I can finally take control of my pain. My days are filled with more vitality and enthusiasm."


"I am 22 and I've had this implant for maybe 3 months, and it's horrid. The first month I had heavy dizzy spells, I couldn't walk without holding onto the wall and felt nauseous. I bled maybe about a week after and countinuously been bleeding heavily. It stopped 3 times for about 2 days and started up again immediately after. My sex drive is completely gone, I'm bloated all the time and am a bit lazier than usual. Will get it removed next month."


"I took Meridia in 2000, I lost 60 pounds in 6 months.  I had no side effects, the only thing I noticed was that my tastes changed, I didn't want the fried foods or the sweets.  I never knowingly changed my eating habits, it just happened.  I have to confess, in the nine years I have gained 40 pounds but I can pinpoint the cause of each group of weight gain.  I gained 10 pounds undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer (they say it is due to eating comfort foods...like a bowl of ice cream every night for the eight months I was undergoing chemo and radiation), 10 pounds when I had shoulder surgery 2 years later and 20 this 2 years ago when I quit smoking. I am considering going back on the pill as I am a firm believer that it works."


"I have had Type I insulin-dependent diabetes for 39 years and took Invokana for over a year.  My A1C came down only a few tenths of a point, and I experienced drastic swings in blood glucose and ketoacidosis.  I stopped taking Invokana 2 months ago, but my hair loss has continued and has accelerated since discontinuing its use."


"This was the first pill my doctor perscribed me when I started on birth control and I only took it for one month because of the side effects.  I had spotting the first week, acne worsened and my moods were absolutely uncontrollable.  During the third week of my pack I cried every day at little things that would normally not phase me. I stopped the pill before I even finished the month because of how out of control I felt.  This was not a good first experience for me and made me skeptical to try any other pills."


"I have always had painful and heavy periods, I mean soaking through 8 super tampons AND 8 super pads a day, I was often dizzy from the pain. I have had cysts on my ovaries and my uterus for as long as I can remember. About a year ago my breasts became extremely painful, there were really large masses that would hurt so  much that nothing could make the pain stop. In 2 years I had 3 mammograms. I figured it was just something I would have to deal with the rest of my life. I got a new Dr who diagnosed me with Fibrocystic Breast Disease and started me on this medicine 4 months ago. It has helped me SO much! I have lost my insurance and can't seem to find anywhere that assists with the cost of this medicine. It's expensive."


"So. I tried typing my whole story but there is a limit on this text box. SO. I had it placed when I was 16 in 2014 at planned parenthood in Tacoma, WA. Placement was intensely painful, but only it did only take about 10 minutes (including measurement and placement). I had a 6 week period (last two-ish weeks were just spotting) but since then I have not had a period except for very occasional light spotting after sex (only if I have sex more that once in a day) and it only lasts an hour or so. I absolutely love my mirena. I will FOR SURE have it replaced when my 5 years are up. Although I have heard that I should play it safe and have it replaced at 4 or 4.5 years. I am sad that there are so many negative reviews because this is truly a life"


"For 8 years I was on Aviane. Had horrible cramps, breast soreness awful mood swings, weight gain (at least 5-7lbs), and very odd periods (some would be heavy heavy, then the next month barely anything).
Not too long ago, the pharmacy gave me Lutera instead for no reason. Questioning on how good this was, I was very nervous. My first week on Lutera, I lost those lbs, felt happy (like a weight has been lifted), no cramps! My period was light, short, and cramp free! I had NO MOOD SWINGS.
Then, the next month, back on Aviane...worst breast tenderness I have ever felt within the first few days back on it! Cramps returned. The next month: Lutera.
After that...Aviane.
Now, I've finally on Lutera...for good! This is the best."


"I used to have panic and anxiety very bad, for many years I self medictaed with illegal drugs. Finally, at 29 yrs old I wearily went to a doctor who gave me klonopin and an anti-depressant. In one hour I gradually felt all the panic go away, anxiety was gone. I really smiled for the first time, the world was great. I was contemplating suicide a day before I was prescribed klonopin, this drug saved my life. I continue to take it 1mg twice a day with lexapro 20mg. My life is good and I am happy, but now my mental health doctor reads that benzo medication "may" lead to dementia,etc. So now she wants me to stop taking it, she says she does not want her name on anything linked to her prescribing benzos. Now I must detox? Find another Doctor!!"


"It knocks me out for at least 12 hours and the drowsiness lasts days. I am completely unable to function the following 2 days. It messes with my mood as well."


"...If I could give this a zero, I would. I started taking Sprintec when I was 18, and I took it religiously-never missed a day. It switched to Previfem when I was 22, I think. The long and short of this review is, now I have a two month old baby. Remember that "never missed a day" thing? Yeah, that continued well into my unknown pregnancy... As did my period. I took note of feeling like garbage, gaining weight around my stomach, not being able to handle smells I had always been around and figured I might as well take a test, and it came out positive. By the time it was confirmed, I had already been pregnant for three months, which is too late to terminate if you or the baby's health is not in jeopardy. So yeah, not that great for me."


"I've been on Tri Sprintec for a year now. I got it for a few reasons, first to prevent pregnancy obviously, and to regulate my periods. Well, I have no issues with this pill except it gave me migraines. I always got at least one migraine a month right before my period. As I started taking this birth control I am not up to about 8 migraines a month. Every time a new week started in the pack, I would get migraines. After a year I went back to my doctor and we just switched to another birth control."


"In the past six years I have had three sinus infections.  This drug cleared it up in a short time with no side effects.  I suffer from IBS so my GI doctor recommends this antibiotic as it is more gentle on the GI tract. He also told me to take one Florastor probiotic capsule each day and to eat yogurt with active cultures  Have had bad results with Augmentin –  gave me raging diarrhea. Levaquin has some really serious side effects and affected my Achilles tendon. I don't notice vile taste - tongue burns, mine are vanilla flavored. If the size bothers you, tell doc to order 250mg size and take two. I had palpitations and anxiety tho and rapid heart beat for a while but could have been from Bentyl. Not sure."


"I started at 3 mg and had no relief. Up to 6 mg, no relief. My psychiatrist upped my dose to 9 mg and it seemed to be the magical number...for now. I've taken ALL of the antipsychotics out there, from the old generation and even Clozapine. I've had varying success. This one is working. I am actually not hungry at all and haven't gained any weight. In fact, my appetite has lessened. But I have a wonky physiology."


"Have been on Saphris for five weeks now. Aggitation has stopped no more headaches and the racing thoughts have stopped as well. Still hypo manic and cycling but mood has improved and less anxiety. Very glad to be on it."


"Took it for a month and experienced horrible side effects. Constant cramping out of nowhere, painful sex, zero sex drive, swollen, extremely tender breasts, mood swings, anger and aggression particularly,  some depression, constant fatigue, bloating, and an irregular period after years of it being regular. Had to stop taking it to get my sanity back."


"I have used for my multiple allergies and asthma pseudoephedrine and tripolidine since 1972. I have experienced on occasions prostate swelling, minor sleepiness, etc; however, its benefits far outweight its side effects. For several years I have used one 60mg/30mg tablet a day and it has managed my classic rhinitis. The combination pseudoephedrine-tripolidine has proven superior to all other combinations (I have tried them all) across the years. Now, it appears the med is drying up (pardon the pun), possibly from the meth freaks misuse and now we must all suffer for their predatorial rechemicalizations."


"My experience with buspirone is that it gave me horrible headaches, but on the occasions I don't get a headache, I REALLY like the way bispirone makes me feel- chill. I was on Zoloft & lexapro and all those did for me was make me nauseated. W/ buspirone, iwould break the tablet into .5 & sometimes go up to 15, Even with food and water intake.
Anyone else whose had this experience w/ buspirone, please share your story whether it's similar or different- would love the feedback.
& anyone with the same head ache side affects, how do you go with treating that?
Also, If you've had success with taking buspirone & Xanax together or within the same day, please advise

"My body was wrecked with anxiety and depression. I thought I was going to lose my mind .Five days days on paxil and I'm a new person"


"I am a 21 year old, no kids, I was on the pill for a couple years- absolutely nothing wrong with it except for that fact that I hated worrying about taking it every morning (especially on trips, weekends, staying over at my boyfriend's house, etc) such a hassle! So I got Mirena in about 3 weeks ago. I absolutely love it so far. It was semi-painful to insert, I felt cramping for a couple hours, and very tired all day long but woke up the next morning and felt almost 100% normal! The cramping and expected bleeding/spotting stopped after about a week and I literally have noticed no side effects since. Also, I have dropped 5 lbs I believe due to the lack of hormones from the pill, so I'm back to my normal weight! Love this and would recommend to all."


"I have had the Implanon in since March 2010 and I absolutely love it! I have a 10 day period every 1 1/2 months, my libido is up, I haven't gained weight (if I have it's from overeating) and I don't have cramps. I have started to have really oily skin on my face which has caused acne but nothing I can't handle. Overall an awesome experience!"


"I took one as stated on the box approximately 9pm. I have been sat on the toilet since 3 am with the most excruciating stomach cramps and worst diarrhea I have ever had. "
