"I was given the IV "migraine cocktail" also when in the ER for a
severe migraine. The nurse told me the Benadryl could make my chest feel heavy and possibly anxious. Benadryl was pushed slowly via IV and I started feeling relaxed and sleepy. THEN came the Reglan! After the Reglan was administered my relaxed sleepy state reversed and I felt like I wanted to rip the IV out of my arm, I felt so hot like I was boiling from the inside out, I was so nauseous, my heart rate went wayyy up. I was in full panic mode feeling like I made a huge mistake!!! I told my husband to get the nurse and when he finally found him he did nothing for me except tell me to calm down! Ugh... Never again will I put myself through that. Reglan...NO THANKS!"


"It's been 5 weeks since the last shot in a series of 4 Orthovisc injections for my torn meniscus. My right knee is now super swollen, and my pain is now Twice as bad as before the injections!! I drug myself up to get to sleep, but I am awoken each night/morning with excruciating pain!! I don't know what the heck went wrong! I'm only 47, with bone on bone, arthritis, etc. Had surgery to repair meniscus, but it was torn again! Only "fix" the doctor's say is a total knee replacement. Trying to push it back till I'm older, but I've had problems with this Knee since 2008!!! Can't take it anymore! Am I supposed to keep waiting for something to happen miraculously? I ice it daily, exercise, stretching, hot tub, etc. Any advice would be great!"


"Pros: turn into a hardworking genius legend in the day time after taking a pill at 7:30am. Turn sociable and enjoy chatting with people for the sake of it.

Cons: some suspicious side effects. diarrhea (it's manageable) and very frequent urination. Hunger massively suppressed (you might consider this a good thing), occasional headaches, can make you aggressive when you arent at all normally. If you're a person who has trouble sleeping this will keep you up far later. And also there is a slight psychedelic element to this drug as it peaks, you sometimes get weird feelings and thoughts you know could never happen normally off the drug.

It's still less bad for you than cocaine or something so that's how I rationalise it."


"I was on the pill for about 8 months. The only side effect I experienced was a low sex drive. Other than that, the pill was effective! I had regular five day periods, no headaches, no nausea, no weight gain, and (thankfully) no mood swings. I am no longer on TriNessa because of the lack of libido (I was on it purely for contraceptive purposes). If it hadn't been for that I would still be on it!"


"Seems to be working, am impressed with it.  Had a sinus infection, throat infection, earache and women type of rash under my arms. All seem to be improving. I have only started taking the medication though. I am hoping for the best from what others here had to say."


"I am 60 yrs old. I have been on Androgel for just almost 3 weeks. I went to my doctor in September sharing that I have no energy sex desire for years, and felt worthless. My doctor did numerous blood test including on for testosterone. It came back at 140. I had no idea there was a problem. My doctor suggested the shots every two weeks  but said that they can wear off well before my next visit. Suggested Androgel 0.5 in a pump rubbed on daily. It works. I haven't felt this good and full of energy in 15 to 20 years. The only side effect I have experienced at this point is that my testicles, which were the size of Advocado seeds, are now about the size of pistachios and are a bit tender at times. I follow the directions exactly and apply after shower."


"I had meniscus tears in both knees almost 20 years ago. I've had knee pain ever since. I had the series of injections about two months ago and my knees felt great for about five weeks. I don't know if it's wearing thin or what, but now I've got more pain than I ever had before the injections and the pain is nearly 24/7. Makes me feel like there's some kind of scam involved, like they know that when it wears off it will be worse due to getting used to less pain for a short time. I do NOT recommend it."


"Hello I'm Andrea I am 5'3 and when I started adipex in late Jan I was 202lbs just now starting to slowly stop taking them by skipping days I have had a total weight loss of 38lbs in 3 mn the first month was the quickest results I've ate 1200 calories daily drank water like worked out extreme for 4-5 x a week experience headaches due to lack of water sometimes I was dizzy when standing up to fast had many sleepless night from to much energy even though my body was so tired but I feel reborn I feel so happy and confident of course my body image isn't what I "expected" but my journey has not ended yet. adipex is a tool used to help change your life style I can't wait to say I changed my lifestyle & no longer need a pill but am thankful 4it"


"I started the 37.5 on 10/15/16 and i felt the jitters and the nausea. I did not feel the burst of energy. I only ate 600 calories on day one. Today is 10/16/16 and I feel more hungry then day 1. I ate a total of 1400 calories today.  I did have a lot of energy....I actually washed baseboards and all. I hope it continues to curb my appetite. So far no bad reports"


"I have been on Victoza for four days now.  Have bad, bad headache and nausea.  I have to lay down. Nausea is close to morning sickness (if you ever been pregnant).  I am on the 0.62 with instruction to dial up after 5 days.   Thinking about waiting a week.  I wonder if the weight loss is due to the nausea, for I have noticed in the couple days I don't eat or have a lack of a appetite. DOES ANYONE TAKE ANYTHING FOR THE NAUSEA?"


"Have severe acid reflux.  I take 300 mgs right be fore bed and it works wonders.  I have been using Zantac for years!  I wouldn't leave the house without it!  It's my miracle drug!! ❤"


"This medication does work rapidly on urinary tract infections but has given me a sore throat."


"Very effective in controlling my back pain! Only use as prescribed! Taking more than prescribed can lead you down a hard path when it comes time to tapper off!"


"I've taken Provigil in the past for over 8  years due to severe IBDH & shift sleep disorder.  When Nuvigil came out on market, my neurologist gave me samples to try.   I found it AMAZING & much cleaner version, as I don't notice significant side effects.  Most importantly - the abrupt feelings when it first "kicked in" in the mornings and sudden halt from wide awake to severe sleepiness. Less agitated and very clean even transition from its predecessor Provigil!"


"I've been on Ortho Tri-cyclen 21 for a month and a week. It does not make me moody or depressed and nor did I gain weight. Those were my two biggest concerns before going on birth control. I am taking it for acne and so far it just tamed my big pimples but I still get small little bumps here and there. I spoke to my doctor and I was told I need to wait at least two months to see results in acne. It helped me incredibly in terms of period cramps, I used to faint often on the first day of my period throwing up and diarrhea. But now none of that thanks to Tri-cyclen :) strongly recommend!
beware makes boobs a little sore, not too much."


"Quick Results, this is my second time taking Flaygl, it last for like 2 months first time around, but every time I have sex protected or not, my Ph becomes unbalanced again. This time around I just feel a lil nausea."


"Patience, Patients!  My teenage son is almost pimple-free because of topical Aczone (combined with topical Avar E LS). But be patient! It has taken about 6 months for his skin to really calm down. Some improvement started after about a month of daily use.  With time it has controlled his acne well. He still gets a few pimples, but they heal quickly and are not scarring. A tiny bit of cream goes a long way.

He had been getting loads of pimples and horrible cysts.  He previously tried benzoyl peroxide (which did very little) and then Retin A (Disaster! Crazy breakouts and crusty, itchy skin for 2 months until he gave up).  If you want an acne treatment without the side effects of an oral medication, I recommend Aczone highly!"


"Partner is using it during the day he seems so strange unfocused and aggressive.What can I do I feel like he's a completely different person he can't reason with anyone and he's talking shit all the time proper off his head"


"So far I have taken 4 pills. I have had some stomach rumbling and a few light pains. I felt a little bit lightheaded a couple of times and a little bit of head pain but other than that its not too bad. My doctor gave me this for an abscessed tooth and I have not had to take any pain medicine today so I guess the clindamycin is already working. I have a little bit of tooth pain but it is bearable. I do eat toast before my first pill and a full meal with the second and something light with the third one. I will check back when I finish the medicine to let you know if things change."


"This product is far inferior to Vagifem. I am so sad insurance companies are forcing us to use this due to expense. Packaging is terrible and I don't get anywhere near the comfort and relief as from Vagifem. I'm not sure how they differ but it should be removed from market or fixed. I've used Vagifem for 8 years due to dryness and feeling like a UTI.
I've now had 5 UTIs in a row and feel Yuvafem is part of the problem."


"Sudden onset of seizures (tonic/clonic) at the age of 56.  6 days in the Neuro ICU & no cause determined (but I concede my sleep patterns need improvement). I'm on 100mg of Vimpat X 2 daily.

No seizures since. (Yay!) But 8 weeks later, 3 side effects. Memory issues e.g., I'll read books for the first time, only to see my own notes in the margin. (So it's not the first read!) That's very distressing. Repeating myself. Also noticed vision changes, as if I need another RX glasses, & (7 out of 10 in pain) headaches for the first time in my life. I'm told to give Vimpat 90+ days to 6 months to adjust. Crossing fingers."


"I will start by saying that I suffer from major depression. I have tried just about everything in the book and was starting to just about feel like giving up hope (on medications that is!) and was completely exhausted. My doctor just recently, put me on Pristiq and almost immediately I noticed a difference and have had no side effects what so ever. I have been excited about life and happy to get out of bed everyday now. It has been a drastic change and I am so thankful. I'm not sure how this medicine might take to others, but for me it has worked wonders. "


"Minutes after taking this my lips started to feel funny  - a numb tingling sensation which spread to my whole face.   This resolved after an anti-histamine.   However, Potassium Citrate did help my initial problem of pain on passing urine and frequency."


"Female 68, excellent health, nonsmoker. Asian, diagnosed EGFR 12/16. On 5th day of Tarceva 150Mg. feeling great.  No breathlessness. No side effects so far.Hope to continue if no liver impact.  Wondering if there's any preventative steps that could be taken to ward off the next mutation when this inhibitor no longer works."

"After 5 days on Cipro for a urinary tract infection (allergic to sulfa, Keflex, Macrodantin ) I finished the 5 days prescribed then began to feel awful, severe joint pain in wrists, back and neck. I had painful deep breaths and general overall aching. I had some diarrhea and abdominal pain. Bladder infection is better."


"I was diagnosed almost 2 and a half years ago and have been taking daily suppression since. This medicine works like a charm. I haven't had any full on outbreaks since taking it, and sometimes I would even forget to take it for a few days with no issue. There have been a couple of instances where I felt one coming on, but that only ever happened during the "few days I didn't take it". When that happened, I would just double up on the dosage until I didn't feel it anymore. The only reason I give it a 9 is because you have to take it twice daily, whereas for Valacyclovir, you only need it once daily. However, valocyclovir is a lot more expensive, and taking acyclovir twice daily will do the same thing. Just have to remember to take them!"


"I've been on Apri for 3 months, my periods are regular but I get horrible cramps, backaches and bloating. My weight stayed the same and my acne cleared up though."


"I've been on this pill almost 8 months and I have to say, I also have mixed reviews. I haven't gotten pregnant, so it has proven effective in that sense. I've also gained weight, experienced the migraines and nausea others have mentioned, now have lighter periods, and get frequent bacterial vaginosis. It is definitely as bad as it sounds. I've also had some trouble with moisture down there during sex. Being that my cycle was irregular before, I wanted something to prevent pregnancy but also allows for a monthly menstrual cycle. This was more than I bargained for. I think I'm going to stop taking the pill and look into other options. "


"For me Reglan was a blessing as it ended my nausea, pain, and vomiting caused by gastroparesis. I know that for some people it comes with severe side effects. I was put on it for long term use. After reading up on it, I learned that it is recommended to be used for no longer than 12 weeks as that is often long enough to control symptoms for the time without the risk of long term use. If symptoms reoccur a person can go back on it. This happened to me. I was off it and went back on it for a month and my symptoms again improved. Also, reading the reviews, I see that some of you have been diagnosed with gastroparesis by doctors suspecting it. There are tests that can give a definitive diagnosis so another problem is not missed."


"I was on several different types of BC that all made me nauseous/vomit until I found Mircette. I had absolutely no side effects with this pill. The only reason I stopped taking it was because my husband and I wanted to start a family. I stopped taking the pill in August and we conceived in October so it had no effect on my fertility. I plan on taking this pill again as soon as I finish breastfeeding."


"I have been on Ambien for six years now. Really helps me with little side effects like metal taste in mouth. Other than that I get at least 7 hrs of sleep. Good luck to all those insomniacs."


"Phentermine works great for weight loss. I've taken it two different times. I lost 30 pounds in 2 months the first time. The second time I lost 10 pounds in a week but had to discontinue use due to side effects. I had postpartum depression the second time and it made my depression much, much, much worse, and I had horrible "phen rage". I would definitely suggest talking to your Dr if you struggle with depression before starting Phentermine."


"I have been on a month and helps with anxiety. The nausea and muscle tension has went away. I would recommend. Few side effects, and you will get use to the drug after about a 2 week period.
Will make your hands and feet cold, but I can deal with that."


"So far so good."


"Great for panic attacks. And helps to stop my mind from racing at bedtime. Been on it for almost 6 yrs."


"My previous doctor prescribed Tramadol for diabetic neuropathic pain... ADVIL worked better!  After 2 ears I switched doctors and my current doctor prescribes Norco.  Wonderful!"


"I began having SVT in 2011. It became debilitating with almost non-stop episodes occurring continuously throughout the day. Very frightening. At first I was prescribed Diltiazem at 120 MG. That worked for a couple of days. The SVT episodes returned, again non-stop. My dosage was increased to 180 MG per day, and that has worked for me. When my Medicare Advantage plan changed how it paid for Diltiazem, I couldn't afford that prescription. I was switched to Verapamil, which I had to take at 1/2 of a pill twice each day. It was not as effective as Diltiazem. The following year, I changed insurance plans, and was able to again take the Diltiazem 180 MG extended release capsule once per day. I don't think I have side effects."


"I started latuda after being on abilify since 2004. I was taken off abilify because I began vomiting every day and had severe rashes after being on the drug for about twelve years. Latuda is HORRIBLE! Mind you, I haven't actually had a serious psychiatrist sit down and actually understand my symptoms or who I am in about five years... seems as if that is non existent in my region or something now? I developed severe migraines on latuda, and have had more frequent seizures on this medication. The doctor I have seen ONE time this entire year doesn't want to work with me even though he even noticed I am extremely agitated and annoyed ALL the time on this medication. I used to be very calm and easy going; however, now everything irritates me."


"This did not help my Trigeminal Neuralgia at all even at high doses. It had helped me in the past for neuropathic pain in my neck, so I was surprised but then, Trigeminal Neuralgia was a surprise. The side effects of high doses of Topamax for me were serious cognitive issues hence, no help - bad side effects. I did find other medicines in combination that work - Nortriptiline, Trileptol and Gabapentin."


"Okay, it's been a year. Insertion was fine, until the silly woman cut the strings and caught my cervix with the scissors. I yelped a bit. Tiny periods now, lasting about 2 days. And not pregnant, so it works.. However the strings were cut too short, so when it's time to come out I'll have to be sedated and have my cervix forceably dilated, which doesn't sound much fun. And oh my - the pains. I've only had it about four times now, but jeez. It honestly feels like having a c-section while awake. Of course there were fears of perforations etc, but after scans and pee tests and blood tests, they couldn't figure out what was wrong. It just hurt so bad, for no reason at all. I'd have it out, but the procedure for me now sounds horrendous.."


"I got this medicine in September and my face got bad then cleared up, but i kept going through a cycle: clear up, get better over and over. It's mid December now and I haven't cleared up in weeks. I also have back, shoulder, and chest acne. It did nothing to that. I'm going to switch antibiotics soon"


"I have been on 1/2 tablet daily (5mg)  for about six weeks due to anxiety and mild depression.  Within a few days of taking Escitalopram  I started to feel happy and feel this drug is working wonders for me.  I dont know if I want to cease taking it at the moment as I still haven't solved the problem which caused anxiety.   I have experienced no side effects whatsoever and feel good about the future."


"I have been on this for about 15 months, starting at 100 then up to 150

I haven't had any side effects apart from a slightly dry mouth and reduced libido. It hasn't done anything for my depression and I'm now weaning off it (2nd week and so far no issues)."


"This product has worked very well for me. I have been on it for about a year now and they recently upped my dose to get rid of some of the very small bumps on my nose. Honestly this is the best product I have ever used. My advice: you should give it a try."


"This has been such a sweet relief, I wish I stared sooner as soon as my periods were getting slowly heavier and horrible. After throwing up on my last period and getting anaemic - enough was ENOUGH and decided to speak to my doctor, after getting my script filled and examined ( I had nothing wrong internally) and got seasonique. Took about a month for my body to settle down. EXPECT some side effects, headache, tender breast and fluid retention until ur levels even out. U MUST Take the pill SAME time EVERYDAY!! I experienced  one break through bleed, cause I was 8 hrs late in taking one and lasted a week. This is because the hormones  last so long in the bloodstream and any slight dip triggers bleeding. goodluck in starting!! :)"


"Terrible. My girlfriend does not want to have sex at all (which she did before, very often) and she is not even nice anymore, and she is constantly tired. This is the worst thing ever made. The whole point of this birth control is to just make the woman be such a B***H that nobody would even want to get her pregnant. Sorry, just being honest."


"I've been using minocycline for about a  week now. My face is starting to clear up but now I got painful stomach cramps. I've been feeling dizzy and my legs always feel numb."


"Tried other drugs for sleeping but Lorazepam works the best! I take every night, an hour before bedtime and sleep 6 to 8 hours a night.
I have a transplanted kidney,
For me it has worked very well"


"I am on day 5of7 of 600mg 3x a day. Little indigestion, very light lower abdomen cramps. The worst side effect for me is a DRY COUGH, however i do have a cold and I am a smoker. Overall great antibiotics for the job.

I had swelling in my cheek that had started to move around my eye before I went to the ER. At first the hospital wasn't sure I had an abscessed tooth because of no pain in the tooth. After 4 visits to the ER for IV sodium hydrochloride i was showing no signs of improvement.

On day 4 the swelling was finally showing in my gum, they took a needle and drained the infection (VERY PAINFUL   NASTY SMELL!). They switched me to clindamycin.

I had my root canal today (600$   filling). Very painless procedure. I can now smile again."


"I been on liletta for about 3 weeks. 2 weeks after my period came on it's lasting for about 10 days so far..I just want my period to go away!and I'm acne prone so I'm guessing this has made it worse other than this..I like it!"


"I'm 49 and have suffered from allergic symptoms ever since I was a kid. Unquestionably it has reduced the quality of life. Anti-histimines were basically ineffective although I could significantly reduce my symptoms by a strict diet that was in the making over the last 30 years by observation (try eating foods high in anti oxidants). I do feel much better since taking Singulair, my nasal congestion is much better, feel no side effects. My only regret is not trying it earlier."


"Felt like this drug made my problems a whole lot worse. I had antidepressant-induced mania. I'm now in loads of debt lost my job with a mortgage. Turns out I'm bipolar! These tablets triggered a sweating problem that I've not been able to shift in two years"


"I was diagnosed with Osteo in 2010 and was put on Fosamax, along with a daily dose of calcium-VitD. tablet. In 2014 the Dr. changed my prescription to Prolia due to its stronger potency, along with the continued Cal-VitD tablet. Though my bone density increased 10% since taking Prolia, I feel the side effects may out weigh any positive bone density increases. With constant jaw pain, I also have unusual problems with my teeth; constant infections, pain in one tooth or another, and Root Canal Treatments needed. I suffer insomnia, something I never had pre Prolia. With no warning or trigger I have constant blood blisters in my mouth, some as big as 5cent pieces. My cholesterol has increased. I feel unusually tired & have regular leg cramps."

"I hate this birth control. I was originally taking Gianvi which I absolutely loved because I didn't gain ANY weight. My acne cleared up and I stayed slim. For some reason my pharmacy switched me to Nikki and in 2 months I went from 121 to 143. I am 5'4 and I lift weights 5 days a week. I use to be defined/toned and now I'm so bloated all the time I look fluffy and bulky. I do NOT like this birth control and my skin does not like it either!! :("


"So I've just recently started suffering migraines due to stress tension in upper traps which doesn't help and hormonal. I'm 31 and I have never had migraines like this. I tired bupap for my tension headaches and after taking them it made it 10 times worse to the point it would turn it into a horrific migraine. My doctor suggested relpax. I took it for the first time today as I felt symptoms come on this morning. I thought it was more tension so I thought I would give bupap another try...45 mins later the throb started coming on. So I called pharmacist and he gave me ok to take relpax. 30 mins later. I AM PAIN FREE! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. Will update on side effects. So far so good!"


"I have been on NuvaRing for 5 months now. I have become very moody, tired, upset, angry, and the thought of sex disgusts me. Now I hate the thought of sex most time which is very unusual for a 19 year old girl. We argue and fuss all the time. Everyday after school I am just tired and want to come home and sleep. I randomly get nausea and cannot eat.  I did not notice that the ring may be affecting me until I decided to look at other users reviews. On the other hand it is so easy to use, and my periods are very light, but despite all of this I am going off of it."


"Given for back pain due to ruptured disc it works fairly well. Thanks"


"I'm going to tell you right now, this was a SLOW process. It took 4 months for me to start seeing improvement, and my skin did get worse before it got better. I am now almost at the end of month five and I can honestly say I haven't been this happy in over a year. My horrible cystic acne that covered my entire face (forehead, cheeks, chin, jawline) is about 85-90% better and I actually feel like I have skin again. My acne was always very stubborn and consistent, but it would always get even worse the week before my period... this month all I got was one teeny tiny zit on my chin. I couldn't believe it! My skin continues to keep getting clearer! I know months seems like eternity when you have awful skin but stick with this product!!!"


"This gel will make you break out like crazy in the first few weeks.  I never broke out that much to begin with it got me so worried , I kept using it and weeks past by its over a month it cleared up my skin and my scars . I am so happy my face is clear  it works really good.  Anyone who is using veltin should give it a chance be patience with it , it will clear up."


"I'm a male, age 59. I have struggled with weight since childhood, bouncing between 165 (yay) and 215 (nay). I am at 200 and my goal is 165. I love working out, lifting weights and/or doing cardio 6 days per week. But I have always wanted to eat too much and eat the wrong things. Phentermine somehow takes away my life-long preoccupation with food. I have to remind myself to eat. I think, "Is this how normal people feel about food?" I have lost 5 lbs in a week and feel great."


"I switched to this medication because I had problems with Orsythia which caused nausea, decreased lubrication and weight gain. Switching to Lo Loestrin has been the best change I could have made. I used to have very heavy periods. They are now light (don't even have to use a pad just a liner) and shorter (3 days as compared to 7 before). Some months I don't even get my period which I consider a bonus (3 mo is longest I've gone without it) I have not been able to lose the weight I gained or orsythia (15lb) but no other side effects. 9/10 for me. Only reason I didn't give it 10 is because it has not significantly reduced my cramping when menstruating."


"I had recurring boils in one area. They would show up randomly so the dr. was never able to take a culture since they would come to a head and then pop whenever. He put me on a 20 day regimen of Keflex (500) and another ointment antibiotic that he told me to dab into my nose. He said for some odd reason, boils seem to start in the nose. I followed the instructions and had a minor recurrence several months later. I went immediately to see him so he put me back on Keflex. These boils were clustered and leaving scars in the area. They haven't recurred and the scars are gone. Since I caught them starting the 2nd time, they never had a chance to come to a head because I stayed on top of it. I highly recommend it for a skin bacterial infection."


"I started injections about a two months ago. The first month was an injection once a week. Now I go once a month. The only thing I have noticed is a huge increase in back pain. I had to go to the emergency twice! No one told me I might have pain. But it makes sense, my nerves are waking up. Also I feel seriously bloated. Sometimes my jeans fit fine, sometimes they are tight. It's not vanity, I am fighting diabetes with diet and exercise, so the weight changes are disheartening. Other than the pain and bloat I don't really notice much difference."


"I have been on Prestiq for ages, it did not work for me I felt continuously nauseated  I became numb of all feeling and lost who I was along the way.  In December 2015 I had unrelenting vomiting,  this included vomiting back all medication.  After 10 days I was a screaming heap, went to the Dr who prescribe Maxalon for the vomiting, this didn't work so back I went this time Stemetil, still vomiting by now off Prestiq felt awful for ages.  Gradually I noticed although still feeling nauseated was not as cranky irritable and stressed. I am still struggling with the withdrawal symptoms however, I am coping better without the medication than I thought possible.  Why is it Dr's do not listen to you when you are on medication for depression?"


"Works best after a few doses."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This is HORRIBLE tasting!!  Unfortunately, I did not investigate the solution ahead of time to arm myself with lemon wedges and Jolly Ranchers.  - Major mistake on my part.  Awful - Awful - Awful!!  "


"It works very well as a birth control (one of the best besides an iud) & is convenient because you only get the shot every 3 months. I got the shot for free from my health department, not sure of the cost under insurance or out of pocket. I'm 19. In less than 3 months on depo I gained almost 10 pounds, I now have cystic acne on my face and back, and my hormones are entirely out of whack. I get angry over nothing very often, and I'm extremely irritable. It causes bone density loss and it can take months to get your fertility back. I've had random spotting and bleeding throughout the past 3 weeks and I don't know how much more of it I can take. Do not get this birth control."


"I only took this pill for a full month. Caused a heavy increase in appetite around 5 days after I started taking it along with very bad nausea, super painful breast tenderness, extreme bloating and made me feel  depressed."


"Relieved muscle spasms caused by risperidone."


"Dissolves very quickly compared to other sub-lingual tablets that I have taken - tastes horrible though! I have experienced no negative side effects, and it has definitely elevated my mood and taken away the "shadows" and some of the "noises" that accompany my diagnosis....overall seems to be much better than the last two meds I was prescribed (Lamictal and Abilify). I give it a ten!"


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"Hi. I took pylera one month back. I got the results and it is negative. I am feeling much better than before. This medicine helped me a lot. Please try to take this course completely."


"I started taking 30mg hysingla ER about 6 months ago for severe joint pain along with 3 Vicodin a day for breakthrough medication. I'm now up to 60mg hysingla ER but the 3 per day of Vicodin is just not cutting it.  I'm in severe joint pain with RA and osteoporosis.  May be possible Vicodin not strong enough I think Tylenol not strong enough for me.  I keep running out of the breakthrough medication by 3-4 days every month.  Any suggestions?"


"I take this medicine once a day when I have back pain or stiff neck, it works great, helps reduce the pain immediately. Very effective drug."


"I have used many types of birth controls from the patch, the pill, the ring, and now the shot. I would always forget to take my pill so I decided to make the switch to depo. Although I love that I never have to think about taking my birth control, the depo shot makes me spot, a lot. To me it's not worth it. I  always spotting and have ruined countless underwear. I knew there would be some spotting but the spotting has not stopped. I would rather take the pill and have a regular period than have to spot every day."


"2nd time with YI, 1st time using Monistat 1..used the pre-applicator bfr sleep around 10pm last nite, woke up almost every hour to pee and had excess, then at 4am my stomach did an unusual reaction so had to spent another hour in the bathroom, not long after, burning sensation until the next 12hrs..didn't read the reviews 'til now...hopefully wont hv same reaction tonite as past 24hr..still doesn't feel any better on the infected area. I should've read these reviews in advance and might choose other medicine...now I can only hope for a miracle..able to sleep at least"


"Been an out of control sugar mess. Invocana took me down 15 lbs and my A1c over three months is 7.8 down from 10.5."


"I had pretty moderate acne (I've suffered from acne since I was 10) when I started Nexplanon. I figured It was time to start on a birth control anyway so I looked into Nexplanon. I was initially worried that it would make my acne even worse since that is what most people had been saying. Not the case. I've had it for almost 6 months. Skin has never been clearer. And no babies. So that's a plus."


"Was on vicodin for years and was taking 8 a day. Doctors recommended  Fentanyl. I got immediately relief. I have to apply 1 every  72  hrs. 100mcg. For me it works but doesn't last  72 hrs. Should be able to overlap. My breakthrough med is morphine codone. Wish I could find a breakthrough  med that works for me. Chronic pain for  15-20 yrs."


"I am a type 1 diabetic and have been suffering from genital warts for 5 years. I have tried every possible medication and treatment over the years. I think for me it's harder to get rid of warts because of my diabetic immune system. First time I used aldara 4 years ago, but I had to stop because of the side effects. 4 months ago after my 2nd laser treatment which didn't help with all warts, I asked my doctor if I could try it again.This time I washed the cream off after 6-8 hours every time, I have had hardly any side effects. Today I have been using the cream for 16 weeks and I'm happy to say it has been worth it. 99% of the warts have disappeared and the 1% is hardly there. I will continue for a week or two to make sure they're all gone."


"I have a fluidy cold sore on my lip day 2, as I couldn't get any blistex, I've had to try the pills, praying they work as well as blistex, people are saying 4 days ? I bloody hope not , don't right you can kill a cold sore over night with blistex, remember to soak the cold sore and wipe the moist cold sore off , it will bleed , cover and repeat till dead"


"The first time my doctor prescribed this medication I ate 2 whole large pizzas a family size Lasagna, 2 sandwiches and some desserts all in one sitting. The day after I decided to get off of it. I then realized I couldn't sleep very well and I had some depression which otherwise at the time nothing else was helping me cope with besides my Buspar/Klonopin. Thus I continued my dosage of 15mg (it is true at least for me the lower dosage is higher sedating) of the medication and once I figured out a way of controlling the 1-2 hour boost of what seemed an infinite metabolism. I felt awesome if only for a short while then and immediate beauty sleep followed. Definitely recommend this to anyone with sleep problems."


"My ob/gyn started me on this medicine after I started having my period every 2 weeks. I've been taking it for about 3 months now and have had the lightest and least painful periods of my life.  They last about 2-3 days tops.  But it does still carry some of the side effects that is why I dropped other Birth Control pills (in the past). I get very "mooody" leading up to the few days before my inactive pills and my boobs get HUGE!  As far as weight gain, I haven't experienced any yet.  But I consider myself pretty active, working out 3-4 times a week, and my weight hasn't moved since I started taking this medicine, hopefully this will change. Overall, coming from having very heavy, extremely painful and frequent periods, Junel has made my life much better."


"I suffered for years with bad nerve pain all over my body, nothing helped as it was mainly caused by fibromyalgia. I was worn out and constantly had fibro fog, the slightest bit off worry or stress can cause a big fibro flare up, my doctor a few weeks back put me on gabapentin 100 mg and did the increase up to 300 mg a day. A week later after starting the tablets the intense pain I had was subsiding from say 100 percent to 30 percent. I also noticed it helped me to sleep like a log and have energy the next day which I never had. Fibro pain causes stressing the body. Stress brings on fibro and its a vicious circle of fibro flare ups.   I lost both parents recently within 12 months so I have immense anxiety. 10/10 amazed at this drug."


"Subtle, but highly effective. Combine 5mg with 30mg Cymbalta. I was on 60mg Cymbalta, titrated Brintellix to 10mg, but experienced discomfort  (heightened anxiety and weird burning feeling.)  I lowered Cymbalta dose to 30mg a day, an immediate relief from the anxiety. However it crept back,  and I concluded it was an interaction leading to accumulation of Brintellix and went back to 5mg of it. Now after three months I start to get used to that it actually works. Only discomfort is occasionally feeling nauseous (after eating sweets  or pastry on an empty stomach.) 60mg Cymbalta helped me for years with depression and anxiety, however leaving me foggy. The new combination is totally unnoticeable except from making me calm and happy."


"My doctor is giving me this to try and get my period under control. I'm 23 and since I was 16 my periods have been very irregular. I have a period once every 5 or 6 months. This is my second time taking this medicine. The first time was in December 2011 (6 months ago) and I started my period on the 10th day. I bled for 5 days, it started out light then became EXTREMELY heavy, I was going through 6 or 7 tampons a day.

After that, I had one more period that lasted only one day and was very light. So the doctor told me to try this again. Today is day 9 and have been extremely nauseous since about day 4. No period yet, but there is some excess discharge."


"I had to take a year and half off from college because I felt so ill all the time and it wasn't completely confirmed that I had Crohn's. I was basically bedridden and didn't work. Then finally my doctors confirmed it and I had the option to be put on Remicade or Humira. After much consideration, I chose Humira and am so glad I did. It's convenient and I am back in college and working! I feel so great most of the time. It's a life saver for me. I hope to go into remission soon!"


"Horrible side effects, gave me acne, a lot of bloating, nauseous, migraine and water retention. I gain 10 pounds using it. I don't recommend it."


"I have been on Victoza for about 2 and half months and I love it.  I have a little trouble wanting to eat which in turn makes it difficult for me to find something I want but my blood sugar has been great and I have lost almost 35 pounds.  I started out at 218 pounds and I now weigh around 185.  I am very happy with the results and don't know why I wasn't put on this sooner. I also take metformin and it just didn't do for me what Victoza has.  I don't want to snack all day and I don't crave sugar like I did before."


"In September of 2009 I was diagnosed with Adeno Carcinoma that originated in the lung and had spread to my spine and 9 lesions in my brain.  The mass in my lung was 4.8 cm by 3.1 cm.  My initial outlook was quite grim, however, after one round or radiation and 30 days of Tarceva, the cancer in the lung had shrunk 30%.  In April of 2010 the cancer had shrunk 99% and the lesions in my brain were down to 1.  I have been able to return to work full-time with my only limitations being to avoid sun contact with my skin as much as possible.  Since I am a police officer, I have a power test I take yearly, which includes a 1 1/2 mile run, which I was able to complete with 29 seconds to spare.  The medication is GREAT, even with the rash!"


"Works better than tylenol as pain releiver. With no side effects."


"I have been on the pill for a month now. I've been experiencing headache's for the past week and been very nauseated. I will disregard the pill until I have a talk with my doctor."


"I could no longer tolerate Requip for my RLS, so my NP put me on gabapentum. Gabapentum nearly halted the RLS totally but also caused my peripheral neuropathy to diminish greatly. Another doctor said that result would be expected. Getting only 4 hours of sleep before I get up for some coffee. Two hours later—about dawn—I can get another hour of sleep easily.  (Another hour of nap after lunch). So I can't speak to sleeplessness, as I'm taking a bunch of other medications (stent installed)."


"I just used Relistor for the first time. I have chronic abdominal pain that provides the wonderful need for strong narcotics. They are terrible on my system and possibly from the constipation or maybe a result of the many many surgeries I have been through I have very painful bowel movements. Its like I can feel the stool winding through my bowels and it feels like sharp rocks! After the injection I had almost instant cramps and only a moderate amount of gas. I felt the "winding rocks" moving with a vengeance. That's why I'm not giving this a 10 because of the cramps (which could possibly be issues with my system). Like another reviewer said..I had a massive movement 30mins later. NICE!"


"It is giving me diarrhea."


"I have been taking Lamisil for about 2 months. I have had toenail fungus for about 4 years. The fungus has been very slow growing. Which is why I think that I haven't seen any physical change yet. The fungus is on 4 of my 10 toes. I think that it is spreading to the other ones. I am hoping that I will see some change in the next months. I have heard it takes longer for the worse cases to heal. Oh, and I have had no side effects besides after I take it the first time after a break (I am on pulse dosage) I have a little upset stomach. Nothing too bad though."


"Caught infection in hospital after a sigmoid colectomy. Symptoms did not become apparent for several weeks at which time I was hospitalized. Had I.V doses of 250 mg every 6 hours for 3 days. When I was discharged I continued the medication for 7 days. Currently, I'm in the 3rd day. It has helped some, but not to the degree expected."


"I have been on this medication for about 12 years now. It seems to work very well but as the years have gone on it doesn't work quite as well as it used to. That's why I only rate it at an 8. There was a time when my insurance was messed up, and I didn't have the money to pay for my medications. I could definitely tell the difference when I was not on this medicine. I would definitely recommend it."


"I have been on this shot since I was 16, I am now 22... Soo 6 years. I have gained about 20 pounds!!! That is my HUGE complaint about it! It works great! I have never even had a pregnancy scare. My sex drive is very healthy, my mood swings aren't wild, I do not have a period/spotting or anything. When I first received my first shot I bled for three months straight not heavy but had a period then never again after that! You have to make sure you're taking a calcium pill everyday! This shot will be my last, since I am wanting to have a child sometime in the next year or two. I was told by my doctor getting pregnant after being on depo will be a challenge.. So overall I gave it a 4 rating because it is effective but the weight gain is horrible"


"I have been off and on this medication for the past year and a half. The first month or two, I am very bloated, moody/depressed, no sex drive, and I have a period that lasts 2 weeks. If I stick with it for a few months, the good thing is that I stop having a period altogether, and the bloating and moodiness seem to stabilize. However, it continues to have a very negative effect on my sex drive, which seems kind of counter-intuitive for what you want in a birth control medication. Like at least one other contributor here, I thought it couldn't actually be the pill, but when I've gone off of it (because of side effects), the side effects are gone within the week."


"I have anxiety & used Valium first to help anxiety as well as sleep Dr started me with 5mg 4x a day for 2 years. It helped but then I built up a tolerance and then 10mg 4 x a day was fine and worked but notice a tolerance again so then after 20 years changed me to alprazolam and wow big difference. I was prescribed 2 mg sticks 4 x a day 120 a month! At first only need 2 a day then shortly I'm on 4 pills 8mg a day and no side effects, powerful at first now almost fell like I need more. But wanted to cut down its been 30 years in benzo's and keep hearing about withdrawal from the drug? I go a week sometimes without the drug and don't feel any symptoms. Any suggestions"


"Just as the above, my life has been changed as a result of starting on Amlodipine. I was prescribed it for my hypertension, and my migraines have completely disappeared. I suffered migraine three days a week. I mentioned this to my GP and he told me this makes perfect sense. Migraine, I'm told, is a consequence of blood vessels in the head being in spasm and Amlodipine has a 'stabilizing' effect on these blood vessels."


"Had a very mild infection for about a week (caused by antibiotics) that suddenly erupted into the most agonizing experience I've ever had. Severe itching and burning, red bumps all over the place. I tried treating it with OTC medicine (Monistat as well as generic miconazole nitrate) which helped with the itching but did nothing for the rash. Finally got ahold of my doctor, she called in a diflucan prescription which I took yesterday on my lunch break at work (with a meal). By the time I was leaving I felt like a new person. No itching, no burning, just relief. Haven't experienced any side effects since then and feel completely better."


"I was in a horrible car accident, and the Doctor in ER prescribed me Oxycontin. This medication helped the pain in my back but, it came with a price. After about a year, my dose kept going up, and up, and up because my body would get used to the dose and it would never be enough. Pretty soon, I found myself wanting to take any opiates. For example, oxycodone, anything with codeine in it, morphine. I didn't realize how fast my dependency to opiates became my life. So, finally, I was prescribed Methadone. It worked out great in the beginning. Then I found myself wanting that, "high". So I would take an opiate on top of it. Finally, I am on Suboxone. It doesn't give you that high! I don't "Need", anything else!! Thanks!"


"My first day and I got nausea and runs and I got a little pain in my neck and shoulder."


"I'm 14 and I've had severe sweating on my hands and feet ever since I was a little kid and then one day I went to the doctor and was given Hypercare. I didn't like the results at all. The sweating was gone for an hour and came back."


"This is the best oral contraceptive I've been on thus far. In the past 7 years I have been on: tri-cyclen lo, Alesse for 4 years and Diane. This is the first contraceptive where I have felt like myself. No side effects, no breakthrough bleeding as long as I take it the same time everyday and only two day periods. This is such a miracle to the oc industry. I recommend it to every female I know. You can't go wrong with the lowest side effects on the market. Although Alesse is a house hold name- it has some of the highest side effects on the market and I never quite felt like myself on it."


"I had the same experience as smalltown123456. I have lost 90 lbs over the past 5 years and not lost any weight on saxenda over the past 5 months.  My doctor says I'm a non-responder and amongst his patients there are 3 of us. We have all lost considerable weight before starting saxenda and not had any luck with saxenda helping us lose more weight. I also wanted to share my experience so people know saxenda doesn't always work as most of the comments are from people for whom the med did work.  It's dissapointing but hopefully there will be more options soon to help."


"I get migraine and mixed variant headaches. I spent 18 years at a local head pain and neurological institute. I had many tests and participated in research trial drugs.  Cafergot was the only thing that worked for me after many different medicines and combinations of medicines.  Then Cafergot was taken off the market because it was too expensive. Migergot works but the base they use was not as effective as Cafergot and caused abdominal swelling and bloating for me.  I have IBS-C so Migergot irritated that.  I can't live without Migergot,  It was taken off the market in December of 2011 and I hear won't be back until May."


"I had spinal fusion several years ago and since have suffered pain. Recently my feet started tingling painfully with loss of feeling. Lyrica has been a life saviour for. these problem."


"Just finished my fourth week of harvoni. No side effects worth mentioning. Nice surprises, eye whites became WHITE the second week, urine pale yellow, my limbs and joints feel lighter, I have great energy, anxiety which was ever present melted away, I sleep better and wake rested, I have a real appetite (not because of or to quench nausea - which is gone too). I feel like I am brand new.  Mental sharpness, clarity and concentration much better too. Had the darn disease so long I forgot what feeling good really meant. 1st blood test tomorrow, I started at 13 million.... I'll be a monkeys uncle if it's not working. I feel fantastic! Thank you Gilead, my hero."


"3 weeks in.  Abdominal issues definitely present.  Not diarrhea but cramping, nausea, bowel urgency.  Lasts around 2 hours after taking the medication.  Can sleep through the side effects from the evening dose now.  Not sure if having any emotional effects.  Skin is clearing well for just three weeks on the med.  I had been on Enbrel for around 3 years and alternated from the 25mg dose to the 50mg dose.  Essentially stopped working. Must have developed antibodies."


"Nothing yet, not helping, on 3rd day i took 3 shots, but still, not worked...i am on my 8th shot today...going back to docs in morning...i hurt, i feel tight, bloated...it feels it could rupture at any time...god, the constipation feels like death."i am so full, i dont feel i can eat or drink"


"I took this medication for about 3 months and it did relieve my severe depression but the side effects became unbearable for me and I had to change to another SSRI.  This medicine caused headaches, salty dry mouth, insomnia, muscle twitching, nausea, dizziness and a feeling of emptiness."


"Relieves pain for a while and then it does nothing after a while."


"Cymbalta for me has been very beneficial in treating the anxiety/depression periods of Type 1 Bipolar Disorder.
Some say antidepressant medicines can cause adverse reaction in Bipolar patients leading to Manic episode, but it didn't with me. It worked better over a long period, the negative effects when first starting the medication, and when stopping, can be quite bad (head spins, nausea, dry mouth, very tired, etc.) and can take a while to subside. I experienced many positive effects after being crippled with depression/anxiety for sometime. Biggest advice - DO NOT STOP TAKING SUDDENLY and DO NOT MISS DOSES. Decrease dosage slowly (speak to your Doctor)."


"The drug REALLY reduces the urge to smoke but it made me suicidal and I wanted to hurt everyone I came across.  I had no control over my emotions and I was always severely aggravated.  I finally ended up in the psych ward and it almost ruined my marriage.  I also had black stools, constipation and wicked dreams.  On the plus side, I lost 45 pounds.  I got down to 1 cigarette every 3 days but had to go off the drug as I had a severe adverse reaction. Alas, I'm still smoking but I'm so desperate to stop I would consider using it again under strict doctor supervision.  My husband was successful, only mild side effects."


"I'm almost 23
I've had one child he was born at 27 weeks almost two years ago
I got the IUD put in on the last day of my period (3 day periods) so I spotted for the next 4 days after that I spotted every other day one time a day for 6 days and now I've had it in for 16 days and no spotting. So I had 10 days of spotting (on and off) and so far I love it :)"


"I started taking this when I was 17 years old (now almost 22) and ordinary antibiotics weren't helping my acne problems. Before, I had unpredictable periods (often skipping once every several months for no reason), painful cramps, and a period lasting up to 7 whole days. Now I have a 99% clear face, a regular light-medium period lasting 4-5 days and NO cramps! I am not sexually active (never have been), so I'm not sure how effective it is for me actual birth control-wise, but my sex drive is much lower. I may end up finding a new brand once I get married later this year because of this side effect alone."


"I've been on this for two cycles and I hardly have any side effects! No weight gain or nausea like some others have experienced on it. I'm a little more sensitive and get more upset over things but overall it's been great. Just keep yourself in check and remember that you're on hormones when you start getting overly sensitive. I would recommend this."


"This did help the intensity of my migraine at the first dose but within an hour the pain is so severe again. Tylonel , Advil, Ibuprofen are no relief my doctors recommend this to me after seeing no possible reasons for my pain. It's been almost 11 years of suffering not sure what my options are now.. Love some feed back on alternative options , the pain is so bad just wells tears in my eyes sounds and lights are too much I can't leave my room.  I'm only 24 years old and I want to be able to live my life ,"


"I have had the worst allergies on record this season. I have tried everything from Claritin to Zyrtec and everything in between. Nothing helped. My post nasal drip was so bad I felt like I had bronchitis from all of the coughing. I even thought I was going to overdose on my albuterol inhaler because I used it so much because I could not breath. A friend recommended Xyzal and brought it to my house one day. The symptoms did not go away all at once but after 2 days on the pill I feel so much better. I take it around 6 pm everyday and I sleep well and wake up perfectly fine the next day. Xyzal has saved me. I hope it lasts and doesn't wear off like Claritin."


"I am 18, (NO KIDS) currently have Mirena in and it has been in for 5 days now. All I have to say for anyone who is considering having the IUD inserted... choose wisely! First of all, you probably think the same exact thing I did, women are only writing bad things, it won't be as bad as they say. Well i'm here to tell you they are wrong. My obgyn which mind you is also a midwife, FAILED to tell me how very painful my lower back and abdomen similar to back labor, were going to be  for the next FIVE DAYS. Terrible stabbing pain all over, migraines every single day, my right leg is numb all the way down to my knee. Insertion was probably the worst thing I have ever experienced. Needless to say, it's getting removed tomorrow...."


"I have been on this pill for about 6 months and my first period after taking this pill was absolutely terrible. It progressively got better and now I get it very lightly for four days. This pill has not helped my acne at all however. Plus I am slightly bloated."


"I as well had a severe migraine that was 2 days old. Went to ER and she said, let's try reglan and bene. I said do whatever.

Withing 20 secs of the IV, I literally froze. My heart was beating insanely, my brain was doing 100, and my body froze. I couldn't move if someone pointed a gun at me. I tripped out so bad. She tried talking to me and I didn't even answer. So she said the lights would turn off and get some sleep. I finally could move my fingers to text my then bf, please come lol.

I was pregnant years after and with that came migraines. Went to my doctor and she said, Let's try Regl-...I stopped her and said like hell! She just did benadryl and Tylenol 3 pills. Good lord. That drug is for the devil I'm sure."


"I have reoccuring UTI's and have taken several different antibiotics for them.  I was recently prescribed Bactrim DS.  After taking the second pill, the aching, pain and soreness was almost gone.  It works better for me than Cipro, but you should always have a urine culture to be sure which antibiotic is best for you.  Fortunately, I haven't had any terrible side effects.  The only side effect is feeling a bit fatiqued a few hours after taking Bactrim."


"I was reading this before my liletta insertion and I was terrified. I just had mine inserted 30 minutes ago and I'm already at the gym working out. It was a little crampy when they were measuring but other than that my experience was nothing like these horror stories. No pain at all just slight discomfort, nothing more than my normal annual. This is my second iud, I had paraguard first and now this liletta and both experiences were the same. Good luck ladies"


"I have Bipolar I Disorder, and was prescribed Seroquel for insomnia and anxiety.  At only 25mg, it helps me sleep like a baby.  I get 8 hours of the most restful sleep I have ever had.

It also helps with the racing thoughts and screaming voices in my head.  I cannot thank God enough for bringing this medication into my life."


"15mg 3x a day ER. I've been trying to find the right medication to treat fibromyalgia pain. I've experienced nearly every side effect, worst being respiratory problems and weight gain. My attitude has been poor and I'm completely miserable. It's increased my depression. For all the horrible side effects I've experienced, it doesn't seem worth it to stay on the medication for MINOR pain relief. The same has happened to me with Lyrica (neurontin with a prettier name) and tramadol ER. Morphine is by far the worst. I gave it 2 weeks but I can't take anymore of the nausea and illness this medication has caused. I took a morning dose today and feel ill, as usual. I can't wait to flush this garbage from my system."


"This stuff is a life changer!! I was prescribed this about 2 years ago and have used it ever since. I would pour sweat under my arms and could be freezing cold..I was determined to find something that helped. I tried all the expensive deodorants at the store and none of them worked..I finally told my Dr and he prescribed me this. Yes it burns and hurts at first but eventually you won't need to apply it but maybe a couple of times a month and never apply it the same day you shave..it doesn't hurt, burn or irritate me at all anymore and still no sweating..don't know what I would do if I could no longer get this"


"If you don't want to worry about getting pregnant, use this. Never had a scare once since I've had it. I'm scheduled for a replacement next week after 3 years"


"Did not help at all! Tylenol and ibuprofen are stronger."


"I took Ella One approximately 8-9 hours after unprotected sex. It was around the time I was meant to ovulate, so naturally I was very concerned. There were no significant side effects in my case, only mood swings in the first day or two (can't say whether this was the pill or just me!). My period, however, arrived a few days late (4-5 days), so I took a pregnancy test in the meantime and it was negative.
All in all, I fully recommend Ella One as a convenient and highly effective solution in emergencies."


"I did not have much luck with Dymista, might have dried me up a little, but was definitely not worth the HORRIBLE taste I had in my mouth for up to 4 hours afterwards.  Nothing would make the taste go away...soda, beer, bread, onions, even garlic.  Glad it worked for many of you, just didn't for me."


"Didn't work"


"This stuff works like a dream and quickly! I take over 20 meds a month, and sometimes I just get flat out nauseated from my "cocktail from hell". I have also had it administered in an IV, and it cant be beat. The only downfall is the cost...the last I heard it is $20 per pill, and Medicaid balks at paying for it."


"I started smoking marijuana at the age of 14 by the time I was 16 I was occasionally using pain medication. I graduated high school and went to college for two years. I started using the pain medication regularly and soon was addicted to OCs. I was addicted for three years, during that time I did not finish college and lost my scholarships. I knew I had to do something about it before I ended up dead or in jail. So I went to a doctor and was put on Suboxone, it changed my life. I have been on it for two years and I am completely free of the cravings and addiction to pain medications. I am now finishing my bachelors degree. I recommend this drug to anyone with an addiction to opiates."


"My neurologist put me on nortriptyline  as my common migraine attacks became more frequent, 10 or more a month. These migraines were almost always accompanied by a stiff neck and often woke me up after 5 hours or so of sleep.  Started at 25mg daily, I noticed a change in the pattern.  While previously I would have 3 days of migraine in a row, the migraines were mostly limited to one day.  After a month or so, the dose was increased to 50mg, and I am largely migraine (and stiff-neck) free.   I take it at night, so the only side effect is that I sleep longer than I used to.  My understanding is that after some number of months the dose will be reduced and/or I will be taken off of it to see if the migraines return."


"I take it before I go to sleep, and it is the best thing any doc could have given me . All the other meds made me feel like shit. And this one I sleep like a Champ and wake up with a smile."


"Had injections in both knees today. Aching a little but severe pain easing. I have been advised by specialist as long as shots work to avoid having knee replacements, as that is a long time to recoup. I hate reading all the side effects of Depo Medrol, too. The dosage is very minimal I've been told. Today's injection was my first since July!"


"I took Fortical 3 times and had burning and pain upon urination. It took several days to clear up."


"I am on it for the second time. The first time I thought the medication alone was going to keep me from using but I soon found out it wouldn't. Now on it for the second time I not only take Suboxone I also see go through drug counseling, go to NA and AA. I have completely changed my way of life. For me this was a must. I now have 2 yrs clean and sober. Of course there is ups and downs to all things but I have found this medication to be a vital tool in my tool box. I would recommend anyone struggling with an opiate addiction to at least give it a try. Recovery is possible!"


"After trying almost every sleeping medicine approved in the US, nothing has worked better for my narcolepsy.  I haven't had any negative side effects, and I have been treated with Xyrem for more than 2 years.  Little by little over the last 24 months I have noticed that my memory has improved, my reflexes are faster, and I am able to work 40 hours a week on my feet, without being abnormally tired.  It has truly given me a life I would have never experienced. I was "sleeping" my life away 14 hours at a time."


"Started on lowest dose as prescribed by my endocrinologist on trial basis. I experienced loss in appetite & extreme nausea, but never vomited. 2 week follow up showed my A1C went from 8.1 to 6.0. He increased my dose. Higher dose still made me nauseous, BUT it increased my appetite & caused major bloating. I was losing weight, but my belly looked bigger. Experienced mild anxiety & depression. Overall, it does lower A1C but I don't want to be nauseous majority of the time, nor do I want to feel depressed and super bloated. I quit 7 weeks in. I was all about this med at first, but now I wouldn't recommend it."


"I had come down with a very bad sinus infection that caused me to have a migraine like headache.  It was extremely unbearable.  So I had my spouse take me to the emergency room and the doctor gave me a shot in the rear and within seconds I felt immense relief.  The next day the headache came back and after eight hours of dealing with it, I went back to the ER and got another shot.  It was fabulous and it allowed me the ability to keep down my antibiotic so I could kick the sinus infection.  I don't know why they don't make an injection pen for Migraine sufferers to keep around.  Worked way faster than Imitrex ever did for me in the past."


"Have been on this for the six weeks now. No major side effects except some dizziness. Wonder if this is worth worrying about. But the ease of the pill is what makes it so attractive. Wonder how long before I see real improvements."


"I'm a 51 year old female. My fibromyalgia was diagnosed 6 years ago in 2003. I also have neuropathy, degenerative disc disease, Celiac's disease and an assortment of auto-immune disorders. I've just completed the first two weeks of being on Savella. Only in the past few days have I noticed a very slight easing up of my pain. The side effects that I am experiencing are: Dry Mouth, Increased Headaches, Some Blurred Vision, Increased Tingling, Mild Constipation, Some Short Term Memory Problems, Moments of Confusion/Disorientation, and a Few Episodes of Increased Heart Rate. I've decided to continue with the Savella, at least for 4 more weeks, as long as I can tolerate the side effects. Of course, it's my hope that I'll see more reduction in my pain levels as my body adjusts to taking the Savella. In the past, I've tried to take Lyrica, two different times. However, the side effects from it were simply unbearable."


"I just started these pills last month I had a period for 5 days and then 2 days later I experienced heavy bleeding. This pill has been causing me to feel nauseated and having severe stomach pains. I do not recommended this prescription to anyone."


"Works good for me without side efects , I took  3 at noon , after 4 hours I had movments"


"I took this pill for 2 months. I couldn't take it, I had nausea and vomiting. The only good thing was that I lost 20lbs when I was on it."


"I have been taking this medicine for 2-3 months now and although amazing results for my condition I have had constant kidney infections. I normally have no probs there so although it's amazing I have to stop taking it. Please be aware anyone that takes it!"


"I was told that anti-anxiety meds take a while to kick in but I feel like this one has kicked in sooner than I thought it would. I only take 20mg for anxiety and overall I have started to feel a lot more positive and less stressed out about things I usually stress out about. I haven't noticed any side effects besides my stomach feeling a little off the first week and lately I have not been as hungry as I usually am and get full alot faster....but I wake up in the morning starving. Weird but no headaches or trouble sleeping or anything! I hope I can continue to take this medicine because it does seem to keep me "level" with my emotions."


"I started Trulicity 1.5  and Oseni on Tuesday.  Did not feel well on Wed...kind of indigestion and burping a little, thinking it was lunch.  Thursday the awful sulphur burps started which have not stopped.  I feel like a baby is kicking my insides.  Friday was all day diarrhea.  Not much appetite but I know I need to eat so I eat a little.  My blood sugars have NOT gone down and holding between 150 and 210.  Sat the diarrhea was gone but the burps were worse and nothing can stop them.  I cannot sleep.  I am so tired.  Sunday, today, I could not make it to church because of the burping and gurgling in my belly and you never know when the diarrhea will hit again.  I will not use another dose of this medicine."


"I am 28 and do not have children.  I had the Mirena inserted 2 years ago. I have used both the pill and the Depo Provera injection but was planning to travel and start a graduate program abroad and I did not want to worry about access to contraceptives.  I have had a really positive experience with Mirena.  The insertion was pretty uncomfortable, but my doctor warned me prior that the insertion can have a higher degree of discomfort for women who have not had children.  Over the last two years my periods have become lighter and lighter.  Now I only need to use a light pantyliner. I do have some mild (very mild) cramping with the beginning of each period. If your doctor recommends this method for you then I recommend it as well."


"I am a 45 year old male - been on Lotrel for 3 years with no problems."


"I'm on Day nine and woke with a nasty headache that got worse when moving and then the vomiting began.  I'm not stopping the medicine though.  My muscles feels looser, the fatigue is much less and the overall pain is down.  My blood pressure is up and I expect I will be adding a medication to control that because that is better than Fibromyalgia. I was not aware of a lot of the symptoms described here (constipation, stomach bloating, chills-all of which I have experienced slightly). My mood is definitely improved.  I've weened off Effexor now and almost off of it.  In the past I've tried Lyrica with no luck at all but bad visual symptoms.  Cybmalta worked for about 6 months and then stopped. Paxil and Effexor worked for the mood only."


"I had 2 spinal fusions one on 5-5-10 and the 2nd one 11-11-11 and they both have failed. This is my 1st time being on oxycontin I was previously on 2 different strengths of oxycodone, which worked well for me but pain management wanted me to be on oxycontin and oxycodone and without my pain meds I can not get out of bed. I had 2 collapsed, bulging disc in my lower lumbar I started out with a cage and it never fused now I have a plate which is not taking. I have degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and many more problems I have more bulging disc and a cracked vertebra but I am really hesitant to have another back surgery due to the previous experiences."


"Didn't feel good for a year doctors kept saying it was nothing till a year later theyears tested me and said oh you had it all this time I felt broken to me sti is somethingthat represents dirty and that's how I felt they then told me because I had it for more then 5 months I now have PID (pelvic inflammation disease) because it was untreated and my chance of carrying a child has slimmed. They gave me 4 tablets felt fine but now 24 hours later my stomach has constant sharpish pains, I've ballooned  up and feeling crappie. All this for 1 night of unprotected sex is not worth it"


"Since I was 12 (I am almost 20 now) I have had a terrible problem with armpit sweat. I went years just dealing.. getting rid of my cute shirts for black shirts instead, and wearing jackets even in the Florida heat. I never bothered to ask my doctor about it. It never occurred to me that anything but surgery or botox was an option.
I tried clinical deodorant after clinical deodorant and while one might work for a day or so, I would inevitably begin sweating again within the third application or so.

This is my second day using Hypercare.. and although it tends to BURN after applying.. within an hour or so it goes away and I was left feeling completely dry up to my next application.

This is such a huge boost to my self esteem!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Preps are not hard to do or scary.
Not my first prep.  I find just drinking it quickly was the best way followed by a swig of Gatorade or ginger ale to kill any salty after taste.
To protect from getting sore from wiping so may times I use a little hemorrhoid cream down there and it works great protecting me from all that dry toilet paper. (Just make sure you use the cream BEFORE you get sore down there!) Patting with TP instead of wiping also helps if you would get sore.
Good luck!"


"Omg... I thought it was just me! Googled "Monistat burns like hell" and found this site. Don't use it!!! I felt better before treatment. This is day 2. The cooling cream burns like crazy. Coconut oil more effective!"


"I have been on this medication for almost a year and the cramping that comes with this birth control is absolutely the worst. I figured after a few weeks the cramping would die down but it didn't. I feel like my organs are being ripped apart from the inside out. These god forsaken cramps put me on my knees wishing for death. I can tolerate pain but when it feels like my cervix is being sliced and pulled apart constantly for almost a year, something has got to give. Did the birth control do it's job? Yes, I'm not pregnant. But is all this pain WORTH not being pregnant? definitely no it's not. Getting this thing out asap."


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


"I have been on this pill for 10 months and I completely lost my sex drive - it wouldn't be a bad thing for people who are single but I am in a committed relationship. The lack of intimacy started to make me question about how I feel and it brought guilt to me. I thought it was normal for couples who have been dating for years but later found out it was because of the birth control.."


"It worked fast and I felt better after four days, but my side effects were diahrrea two hours after each dose and itchy skin with a rash. Now 2 weeks after finishing the prescription I have an infection in my mouth and throat -- oral yeast infection or thrush is listed as a side effect."


"I have been taking Monodox now for about a month. It does help a lot with pimples but I still get cystic acne. I have been getting extremely nauseous every time I take it, and that seems to be getting worse the longer I've been on the medication. I do take it with food and that doesn't seem to help. My doctor told me to take both at the same time but I was wondering if taking only one at a time would that reduce the nausea or just make me feel that way twice. I do like the medication but my nausea is debilitating for almost half an hour which isn't helpful in my work day at all."


"I was prescribed Zipsor for severe sciatica pain - it helped ease the pain some. After 2 days I then broke out in shingles - Zipsor helped this pain much more than the narcotic given to me. I haven't noted any side effects yet."


"I have been to the Low T center having to schedule every two weeks with the pain, and the feeling good for 2-3 days and then going back down.  YoYo moods!  I then switched to Bio-T pellet treatment.  The nice part is that you only have to do it every 5 months or so.  The bad part is that it is a minor surgery.  I achieved my desired levels and more, but I was just too uncomfortable have an incision every 5 months with the inherent risks of infection and dealing with removing the stich every time.  I decided to go to the topical gel and as other comments mentioned was a pain dealing with hugging my spouse and children, and dealing with my shirt sticking to my chest.  I was prescribed but couldn't give my self the injection..  Natesto Rocks!"


"INSERTION DID not hurt at all!!! I had the best experience. Ladies, please ask your doctor about  Cytotec (misoprostol). My doctor prescribed it to me so I could take it (by mouth) the night before the procedure and it is supposed to help with opening up the uterus so that during the actual procedure the doctor won't have to dilate your uterus as much. The only "uncomfortable" part about it was when she disinfected it. It was like a slight burning sensation that lasted 3 secs. Then when she actually inserted the IUD I felt a slight pressure. Felt like a bad cramp that lasted like 8 secs. I also took a 400 mg 30 minutes before. Afterwards I felt a little cramping but nothing terrible. I highly recommend this! Don't psych yourself out. :-)!"


"Took two hours ago, 4 pink pills. Threw them up after 40 minutes but APPARENTLY as long as they're in your system for 20 minutes then you're fine and now two hours later I'm glued to my toilet as well "


"I've had the implant for about 5 months now. The first day I got it I totally felt the hormones kicking in. That's was interesting for my bf lol. I haven't had bad acne as others have stated. I do break out once in a while, but that was already normal for me. I also didn't gain weight, maybe a pound or two but nothing drastic. First 2 months I didn't bleed at all which was awesome. I did begin to spot after for about 2 weeks when I decided to take some of my remaining birth control pills which actually took care of the problem. But I'm now on month 5 and I started spotting again. It's not so bad but I'll probably continue to take the pills to get rid of it. Not a big fan of bleeding. But other than that, very pleased with it."


"I got my Kyleena IUD 3 days ago. The insertion was painful but nothing you couldn't handle. It's quick between 2-3 minutes followed by moderate cramping for a few hours. I recommend taking ibuprofen or something of that nature an hour before. I haven't had any bleeding with it and I am do far very pleased!"


"This is one of the worst experience in my entire life. After taking Augmentin , I had diarrhea for a week, yeast infection, dry red rashes at the palm of my hands and inner thighs, hemorrhoids, exhaustion, blurry vision, increased heart rate which caused me not able to sleep. I WILL NEVER take Augmentin again, worst meds in the world."


"Good"


"This drug has been a miracle for me.  I've never been a nervous or a high strung kind of person until the last year.  I thought I was going crazy and was afraid to tell anyone.  I talked to my doctor, and he prescribed the Effexor XR.  Started at 75 mg, and then went to to 150 mg.  I feel normal again now."


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


"I suffered from severe migraines for years and all the side effects that go with them. Nothing so much even eased the symptoms off even a little. Then in 2000 my doctor prescribed Maxalt. I placed the dissolving tablet under my tongue and in less than 15 minutes my symptoms started fading, in less than 30 minutes they were gone completely! Truly a miracle drug that I could not live without. If you haven't tried it, it's time to talk to your doctor."


"I started taking phentermine on October 18, 2008. At that time, I weighed in at 263 lbs. I'm 5'10 so I carry weight very well. As of my weigh in yesterday (April 30, 2009) I've lost 41 lbs. The only side effect that I've had to deal with is insomnia; but over time, that has gotten easier to deal with. I'd recommend this medication; however, I would also stress that the weight you put on wasn't put on overnight and therefore, won't come off overnight. Slow and steady wins the race."


"Started Vistaril 25mg last night at 10pm.  I watched some T.V then went to sleep. No anxiety and no unpleasant side effects. Today I've taken another 25mg.  Didn't feel any need to take my Ativan.  But due to being on 4mg a day for years, I did take one just to be on the safe side and not seize or anything. My experience so far has been a good one. And I hope to continue to slowly come down on my Ativan use.
My meds: Lexapro 5mg taperd down from 10mg. Ativan 1mg 4x daily. Fioricet when needed and now Vistaril 25mg every 6 hours when needed."


"After only using Chantix for 1 and a half weeks I have already felt the effects. I now have no urge to smoke and after trying all the other methods I find that incredible. Other than a few side effects like moodiness and changes in dreams, I would definitely recommend this to any smoker who wants to quit. It works."


"Alright so I've been on 100mg of Zoloft for a while and I'm supposed to start 200mg tomorrow and I'll be honest, it's done absolutely nothing for me personally so far.. I'll be starting Risperidone and coming off this one.

I've had no side effects as well as no positive effects what so ever, it's a very weak medication, basically like drinking water. I guess if your symptoms aren't bad at all and you want an easy way out of your problems, then this could be the drug for you.

These are the symptoms I experience and trying to medicate: Hypervigilence, jumpiness, sensitivity to sudden noises (like a door slamming shut), only experience emotional ''numbness'' or anger/rage, cloudy mind, disconnection/dissociation/depersonalization, etc."


"My son was prescribed the drug just before summer.  It worked great at the beginning but now since school has started the drug is not working.  He is very moody, impulsive, short tempered, sad and depressed.  This is not my son.  I also have a friend who's son is also on it and is doing great.  It maybe worth a try, just watch for the side effects."


"Caused constipation, but the medicine has definitely increased the quality of life. I have been on it for 6 months and it is as good today as that first couple weeks."


"Caused excess morning sleep."


"Hi I am also a pleased user of plan b and my most vital piece of advice is to stay calm. I am a very paranoid person unfortunately and under went sleepless nights in the fear I had got my girlfriend pregnant from a broken condom. Just relax ladies and gentlemen everything will be fine. And on a side note the first time she had taken the pill she had thrown up hours later. Make sure that she had eaten prior to taking the pill and make sure she is calmed down. I had to buy another one as a result."


"I had Paraguard inserted approximately ten months ago. I had been on the birth control pill for ten years or so, but was unable to continue taking hormonal birth control due to issues with migraine headaches and the potential for stroke. This left me with Paraguard as the ONLY birth control option for me. Insertion took only a few minutes but was intense. I have never had painful cramping or heavy periods, and the insertion cramps felt like they could have been real contractions. This pain lasted about a day and returned in time for my next period. I have never felt pain like this before. I am almost a year into having this IUD, and the pain is only just NOW getting slightly better. Still require heavy duty pain medication to get through it"


"Celebrex is the ONLY medicine that signifcantly relieves my knee pain and allows me to walk in almost complete comfort. I take as needed, not everyday, per my doctor's recommendation, since I have high blood pressure (controlled with medicine) and high cholesterol, and have not taken it for longer than one month in a row without taking a significant break from the medicine afterward. However I will take 1 x 200 mg pill if I have a particularly active day ahead of me. I am 70 and have had no significant side effects."


"Had a problem with anxiety after a major surgical complication. Doctor 1st tried a SSRI (Escitalopram). Wow, HUGE increase in anxiety and a full on panic attack. No previous psych history before this. Had to stop after 3 doses. Once I settled down tried some mirtazapine at low dose (7.5 mg). Now we're talking! Almost immediate relief of anxiety and no side effects at all!

Here's a tip. Mirtazapine can be very sedating in some due to its anti-histamine effect. 1st try 50 mg of Benadryl in the daytime on a day you can afford to crash if needed. If the Benadryl zonks you avoid mirtazapine; if you aren't too sedated it is worth a try."


"I was run over by a car last year and suffer with extreme sciatic back pain. Until I have surgery I have been going to a pain management doctor. She has prescribed me oxycodone 30mg 5 times a day along with methadone 10mg 2 times a day. The combination of these medicines is a miracle for me. I can now enjoy life without having to drink all day. You forget how awesome life is until you cant enjoy it because of severe pain! Hope the people at these manufactures know how much the medicines they make have helped me to enjoy life again. Thank you."


"I was on Reclipsen for at least a year. My periods were always set and wouldn't last a full week, they'd generally last around 3 days with moderate bleeding. I never got any acne really, I would maybe get one pimple a month closer to when I was about to start my period. My mood seemed fine. I never had any spotting. Now that I think about it I did have a lower sex drive.  Overall, I would recommend Reclipsen! I recently switched birth control through no choice of my own but I'm seriously debating on going back to Reclipsen."


"My experience with a serious panic attack was thought to be the onset of a heart attack. I was monitored, had lab work, even x-rays. No heart attack, my heart was found to be totally clean of blockages. So the doctors conferred that I was indeed having a full scale panic attack. I was given a single 1 mg pill of Ativan.
within minutes i was calmer, breathing returned to slow and regular, i felt warmer, and secure, clear headed yet a little sleepy.
the other med i take is one 75 mg Effexor XR nightly, and a single capsule of raw thyroid nightly
i do take a vitamin and mineral supplement when i think to.
the Ativan prescription was issued for short term and serious times of panic only.
it was recommended i receive counsel, as well."


"Caused a lot of weight gain."


"I use to dread flights, elevators and fishing trips because of sickness.  Took Bonine on a snorkeling trip and was actually able to eat on the boat! It really works for me and I am amazed because I have tried everything and doubted this medication would help.  I highly recommend Meclizine!"


"I've been taking it for about three months and I have no problems. Maybe a slight spike in emotions here and there, especially around the days of my period. I take them every mornings as soon and I wake up. My skin has also been pretty clear, a zit here and there maybe. I've had no weight gain. My period has been extremely regular, like mind blowing regular! And it's also extremely effective for the prevention of pregnancy! I love this pill. I was previously on LoEsterin and I had significant weight gain, so this stuff is miraculous! Love my birth control!"


"Had no problems at all while on this pill. Lost weight, periods were lighter, skin got better, didn't get pregnant. The only reason I'm stopping is because I'm getting the implant now but if that doesn't work out I'm definitely going back to this pill! I highly recommend it."


"I have taken Ambein for about 4 years, never wake up tired or groggy. Stay asleep for a good 6-7 hours. Best sleep med I have taken."


"I have had the ParaGard in for 3 years now. I had it put in at 21, no kids. The insertion was not that bad, I went back to work afterwards and was fine. Some cramping, but it was manageable.

My first 4-6 months with ParaGard were a nightmare. I had previously been on a 365 Day Cycle birth control pill, so my body was used to having a TON of artificial hormones pumped into it 24-7... To go from that to zero hormones took a toll on me. I had severe anxiety, managed by anti-depressants.

Once I got through the first 6 months, my body finally regulated. I no longer had to take anti-depressants. My weight actually leveled out nicely.

I get awful cramps about every other month, but I still think it's worth it. I love my ParaGard now!"


"I'm still in my trial and error period in trying to find something to help me with my mood swings / bipolar  anger management but I have to say by the second pill I've been pretty much bed ridden with severe dizziness, vomiting, vertigo like symptoms I have immediately stopped taking it on my own I've been in the bed 4 days now just waiting till my next appointment hopefully it's just a severe side effect or allergic reaction because I wouldn't recommend this for my worst enemy hopefully no one else has to experience what I have"


"I had a sample and the first time I took it mypain was gone in 2 hours. For almost 2 days I hardly had any pain."


"Gave it three months of a shot and endured break through bleeding for nearly two full months. Not worth it. Too low a dose for me, though I'm on the thin side and athletic."


"I was on Belvique for 5 months. Lost 15# the first 3 months and zero the last 2 months. My doc and I discussed Contrave. I have been on it for 3 wks and I am at 2 pills at night and 1 in the day. I don't crave chocolate or sodas any longer. The medication makes me woozy if I don't take it with food. I don't feel like my body is ready to go to the 2 a day and 2 a night dose because I feel like I have "medicine head" when I take two at night. I can't concentrate at work like that. I am not tired all day like I was with Belviq. I am sleeping thru the night and wake up refreshed. I have a sense of well being and don't get stressed at work like I used to. I do get hungry now and then but keep berries as a snack. I eat small meals. No weight loss"


"I have been on doxycycline 100mg 2 a day for just over 1 month now, my acne (which was moderate cystic acne) cleared slightly within the first two weeks. Although after about 3 weeks of being on the antibiotic, my skin broke out into the worst state it had ever been in. I had many huge pimples all over my cheeks, which took a few weeks to fade away. although I feel the antibiotic must bring out everything under your skin first, before it becomes effective, as a few days ago my skin was almost clear. I am starting to break out again slightly, but nowhere near as bad as the previous breakout. if you are starting doxycycline, you must give it time to see good results and be consistent for it to work, as I have seen great results so far."


"I am 25 years old and have been experiencing depression and anxiety since I was about 17. My parents have told me to take this pill for years. I couldn't get myself to believe that a pill would really change me, actually I couldn't even admit I had a problem. I thought everyone else had the problems. There would be days where I would be extremely happy and hyper, and then suddenly one thing wouldn't go my way and I would blow up and say and do things out of anger. I was mean to the people I love most. Unfortunately, my parents are stuck with me as their daughter but my friends had a choice. I have lost many friendships and relationships that I wish I could of kept. Taking a pill everyday isn't the worse thing in the world, it's worth it."


"Worked for me, had mild side effects my virus was cleared. Very glad for this medicine, taken with Pegasys interferon"


"I only took this for about a month but had to stop because of insurance issues (it being a brand name pill) however I had very minimal side effects. It was the first month of taking it for me so the most blatant side effect was all the spotting, and having 2 periods in 1 month (and then getting a wild rage moodswing on the 2nd one that lasted about 2 days lol). I did feel a bit tired around the 2nd period as well but I can't tell if it's just because I'm getting on the pill after a 2 year break or the pill itself. Regardless, compared to other 21 day pills I took in the past this one is a lot easier on my body. I had my leg go numb from other pills I took so I actually think this is one of the better ones."


"I have been taking methadone HCL 10 mg tablets for 10 years for chronic pain. I love this medication greatly and yes it's a lifesaver for sure. I had been on everything from Ultram to Oxy 80. I can tell you that this medication blows them all away. I started out on 3 a day for 8 years and in the last 2 years I have been on 4 a day. My pain is managed to about 96%. It seems to take a really long time for immunity to set in. This is the best pain medicine on the market. "


"I've had the Mirena for exactly 4 yrs. It has been the best thing ever. I have used pills, Nuvaring, the patch in the past, but all those things gave me bad side effects. I had no pain during insertion and cramped very slightly.  Although I should mention I am one of those women who rarely gets cramps and I had normal periods.  My periods practically disappeared and I didn't have significant weight gain.  I am back to my pre-baby weight and absolutely no side effects in these 4 years. I will be getting another Mirena."


"I have Hepatitis C -1b! When I started the treatment I had 4 728 000 viral load! On my fourth week I made blood tests! They were perfect and the virus was not found!!! Now, it's my ninth week, ! I want to share that during the weeks I didn't have any side-effects! At all!! Zepatier is working very well! I'll keep my fingers crossed for the rest four weeks!"


"I have used this drug for 7 months, and I have not seen positive results thus far.  I would not waste my time or money using it again.  I got my prescriptions at a very reduced cost rate due to insurance coverage, and I still would not use it again.  I think there are other options out there that are less expensive and more effective.  I have used one round of Lamisil a couple years ago and it got rid of two fungus-infected toenails.  But I have two more that have not been healed yet."


"I'm 34 with no children. Insertion was quite painful. I took tramadol before the procedure and it was still pretty painful---but the whole procedure only took about a minute. I cramped pretty bad for the first 2 days-had to take ibuprofen around the clock. It wasn't normal cramps, more like a intense shooting pain. Now , 5 weeks later, everything is great.
If I had to have another inserted, I would ask for pain rx to take before the insertion."


"I started on 20 mg of Prozac for GAD. The first two weeks have been hell - insomnia, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and anxiety. The side effects seem to be subsiding. Now more balanced than before."


"I really wanted this medicine to work. And it helped with depression and maybe even started to help with my OCD but I felt thirsty all the time, which made me nauseated, have a headache, and really sleepy. It also made me have to pee every 20 minutes for some strange reason. I had to get off of it and those bad side effects disappeared once I was off."


"I have suffered for years without finding a medication that works.  I finally found Relpax and now swear by it!  This work great!!"


"This drug is magical - a cure all! I'm 25 and have dealt with acne of varying degrees since I was 11 (trying pretty much every medication/scrub/wash/cream/etc out there) and for the first time in my life after 7 months of treatment I no longer experience breakouts and can genuinely feel good about myself without wearing makeup in public. I experienced zero negative side-effects and strongly recommend!"


"I've only been on this for two weeks but I've got to say, I haven't been disappointed at all. My acne has gotten better and my personality hasn't changed at all thankfully, and my period was lighter and shorter. I did experience some nausea and headaches but they went away after a few days. I can't comment on how well it prevents pregnancies yet though! After reading horror stories about this pill I'm glad that it works for me and my body. I'd recommend it to anyone."


"When I started Lunesta, I was SHOCKED by the price. 300-500 Dollars for 30 generic pills??? I don't have insurance, BTW. Then, my sister (who has 2 handicapped children and knows all the ins and outs of the medical industry) told me about a website that literally takes 4 minutes to sign up, qualify, and show you where to get your Lunesta at the biggest pharmacies in the country. I got my renewed today....the cost: $19.91

"I am 43 years old I was recently prescribed gabapentin for morphine withdrawal maintenance. I'm kinda happy with gabbys it really calms me down and helps with nerve and bone pains, I really only have one major side effect from gabapentin which is if I stand up to fast I feel kinda light headed, sometimes I have to sit back down or I might fall down, but thats something I can learn to live with, this side effect, I'll stay on it for a while see what long term use is like, I've had a lot of friends prescribed gabbys and they seem ok, one thing I really enjoy is how calm I am on them."


"Started taking this on December 28th of 2016 or so... I was on my period for an entire month and it was extremely heavy with blood clots, the bc cleared it up about 5 days later. For that I love it, I had no side effects until my period started this week. I have very bad cramps, much like the ones I had when my period was more regular, and I've been passing large blood clots and have had heavy bleeding. To cut my period short, I'm starting my next pack. Honestly, a really cruddy week long period is better than a pretty cruddy month long period so I'm happy"


"I'm 44 and have Osteoarthritis in both knees with  bakers cysts. Was  told due to my age to try this as opposed to more drastic measures.. First shot was about equivalent to getting a cortisone shot in my knees,  pressure but bearable uncomfort.   A little sore the next day, week 2 & 3 about he same. Now I did just get a cortisone shot 2 weeks before starting the Euflexxa but I figure now I am about 10% of the pain I was feeling prior. I hope it's the Euflexxa and not the. Cortisone masking it. Knees feel better every day and still pop here and there. But movement is dramatically better. 6 weeks since my first shot and I'm impressed and happy with my decision"


"Hi
I've been taking movantic once in the morning for a month, and it does nothing for me. I'm so disappointed because I've tried everything.  I go 5 to 7 days without bowel movements. I'm at a loss of what to do next I hope my gastro dr. has a plan.  The only things I've experienced from movantic are gas and severe cramping. .."
