"I used neupro in the past for my restless legs and it went badly and I had to get off of it. But years later I'm on the 2mg. Now that I understand my condition better and know that some triggers like my blood sugar will make my legs act up regardless of the medicine make it a lot easier. This medicine is god sent you literally feel all the muscles relax and the bad sensations leave all at once I'm so grateful for the sleep I'm getting. Only thing is the patch burns when hot water touches it I usually take it off before a shower and only wear it at night. Best medicine out for RLS right now! Also make sure you get the coupon from neupro.com because it is pricey."


"Works great, don't miss a dose! Helps a lot with pain."


"Had symptoms such as swollen gland on my neck, sore throat. Doctor prescribed amoxicillin 500mg (to be taken every 8 hrs) Got so much better after three days, after taking amoxicillin!
But do keep in mind, if you have any symptoms such as rashes, stomach upset or nausea, stop taking amoxicillin because you might be allergic to this antibiotic."


"I had protected sex but we thought the condom may have broken so we went to the pharmacy and took the pill within 2 hours of having sex. Even though the condom may have not broken the wait was too long. I got my period 3 days late and it is more painful than usual but definitely worth taking the precaution just in case."


"I have the implant and we'll I hate it , I have periods that are all over the place I will be on for a month , I also feel like a baby  is moving in my stomach,  breast tenderness badly to the point I can't take my bra off without being in tears,  I also have bad headaches and have gained weight I get spots on a regular basis now and have period pain that's so bad it feels like I'm in labour I don't know what to do someone help."


"I was prescribed Pregablin for GAD. Initial dose of 300mg per day which was increased to 600mg per day after 8 weeks. No effect/changes in anxiety. The phyciatrist I was under left the hospital I was therefore allocated a new phyciatrist who told me medication was not the answer it was all about CBT. I started to focus my attention on how I could help myself and not rely on medication, taking therapy serious and not relying on medication has turned my life around. 3 months on I no longer take Pregablin (no withdrawal symptoms) I have finished my course of CBT and feel better than I have done for a long time. I live in the U.K."


"I'm 38 and I've been on Pristiq for about 3 weeks now. The depression has lifted, but I still have anxiety. I take Norvasc for high blood pressure (my blood pressure has been controlled for years).  My blood pressure feels like it is getting higher as I am on this drug. I was having wine at night on this drug, but I am going to stop doing that and maybe it will lower my blood pressure. I really don't want to stop taking Pristiq. I've lost 5 pounds. I'm starting to worry about going to the Doctor all the time to "change my medicines".  I feel like I've tried so many.  I just want to feel NORMAL for a change.  "


"MY DEAR GOD!!!  This is the worst experience my vagina's had since 2011, when it pushed out an 8lb kid!!  I'm currently spending the week at a beach resort with my family, and on day 3, realized I was getting a yeast infection from all the time spent in the water.  Since I'm 10 states away from my Dr, I popped into the local pharmacy here to grab Monistat 1.  As soon as I inserted this monstrosity of a cream, the burning/itching/pain intensified to unholy levels.  It's been four hours of hell!!  I'm now sitting here in the living room of my hotel, straddling an ice pack, hoping that this stops.  My poor poor vagina!!!"

"I have been on different types of birth control for the past 10 years and I've never had so many problems as I've had with Tri Sprintec. I had my first anxiety attack after day 2 of taking Tri Sprintec and now I'm 5 days in and have such bad abdominal pain and bloating that I can barely walk. I've also experienced fatigue and definitely a difference in my overall mood. I know birth control affects each woman differently but I would definitely."


"I was prescribed tamiflu Tuesday evening, took my first dose shortly after getting home from doc. I ate a small meal as it said to but nonetheless an hour or two later I was throwing up, felt horrible. I stopped taking this medication after the one dose and the next day I felt better. I hate this medication and will not take again."


"Took Flagyl and Cipro together - felt worse than I did before - all the side effects everyone is mentioning.  However, the alternative - raging infection - not really an option.

Taking my diet seriously moving forward."


"I had antibiotics before this but had infection so doc gave me this after speaking to the hospital  please Stay away from this !!! I had worse experience ever , I was taking 2 a day on my 4th day it was hell I took one in the morning about 1pm ish I had this bad pain above my belly button like camps . Kept running to the loo on the second run I broke up in sweat , light headed , sickly feeling I felt like it was over for me . My mother had wet some cold towels and wrap me up to cool me down,  I had pins and needles in my arms legs .I started cooling down And then the chills came On still  running to loo and got to the point that I had take Imodium tablets to stop this which worked . Im still feeling cold and light headed ."


"I love this medication, I have been so ashamed to go out and be around any one scared that someone would notice the stains on my shirt from the sweat. I have been using Drysol for about 2 months now and I can't explain how happy I am to be in my own skin, just being around people made me feel like an outsider. Not only did my armpit stop sweating the medication has made my body stop sweating as well. Good by night sweats. I am ready and able to be using this for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Drysol.  Life saver."


"Hello ladies! As like everyone else I'm here to share my story to help ease some minds. I had unprotected sex on June 11 at about 4 or 5 in the morning. I took the pill on June 12 at approximately 11:30am, so a little over 24 hours but under 48. I had no symptoms at all, absolutely nothing. No bloating, spotting or stomach cramps. I was supposed to start my period on June 19. (Keep in mind I track my period so I wasn't ovulating or supposedly fertile at the time we had sex). Here I am on June 20th writing this review because I just Started my period earlier in the day, my period was only a day late. Plan B does it's job. Try not to stress because stressing does no good. Good luck everyone ❤"


"I  have no more nightmares or side effects it as if i am normal again. i take 2 10mg a day and thank god it does not make me high"


"I started taking Accutane about 1 month ago and my big stick out zits have gone flat. Although I still have a lot of red spots my face it is for the most part completely smooth. I would recommend this product to anyone who's tried everything and hasn't gotten an effective treatment. I'm a 14 year old boy and I've been dealing with acne for 5 years. Nothing helped. I tried so many different topical, oral and store bought products its crazy! I know how depressing it is to have acne in middle school and I'm so thankful I found this before high school. But even with a great product comes a down side, such as chapped lips, dry eyes, dry skin, irritability, and depression. Other than that I'm in love with Accutane!"


"This medication is the best for taking the severe pain out of my head. I was told I get cluster headaches and I'm glad to get this medication to help with the intense pain. My Insurance Co. will NOT help cover this so I have to pay all out of pocket. My last employers Insurance company paid most of it with me paying $40.00 out of pocket. "


"I am a 23 year old female. My entire life I have tested highly, been in advanced classes, had a full scholarship through college, but my grades were always a struggle. I felt like I had to work so much harder than everyone else just to keep my B grades. I was disorganized, forgetful, irritable, and pretty desolate. I felt like I was drowning.
I have taken medication for depression and anxiety since I was in high school - everything from Wellbutrin, to Xanax, to Prozac. I graduated from college in four years with a mediocre GPA, but with many awards. Finally my new doctor actually listened when I spoke, and she agreed that we try a course of medication for ADHD. I am on my second week of Vyvanse and am a new, happy, functioning person."


"After taking Savella I was basically in bed for 3 weeks feeling so cold I had to stay under 3 blankets.  My hands and feet were like ice.  I would get a tingling sensation through the inside of my body and felt so cold I would shiver. When I did get out of bed and, for example, go to the store, I would break out in sweats that made my hair look like I just got out of the shower and all my makeup came off.  I had at least one night a week of insomnia where I couldn't get to sleep until dawn. I had very disturbing, vivid nightmares.  I had no positive effects from this medicine.  I've had fibromyalgia for 16 years and decided to go back on Lyrica as I had no side effects from it. "


"I had the Mirena put in March of 2008 after I had my daughter. I was 32 years old. No complaints other than in the beginning I swear I could feel it inside me. That went away. I did gain some weight. Occasional very light spotting. I never had a period until the past few months.  The Doctor said that's because the Mirena is running out of the hormones. My period lasts 2 weeks (just a pantyliner), and a week off. Getting my new Mirena next week. I would highly recommend this birth control."


"So I haven't really been on this brand of the pill for long however it has been a horrible experience. A little background I have been on another brand of birth control before but went off of it and instead was put on this one. After a week I started experiencing so many horrible things. First was acne, my skin is usually clear but this made me breakout a lot. However the worst part of it all is the mood swings and emotions. I cry for absolutely no reason and just feel sad. I'm usually not like this but now even talking to someone will make me burst out in tears and based on other reviews I see I'm not alone. In terms of not getting pregnant if used correctly it does the job but to me it's just not worth it."


"I just started Nucynta ER I took the first dose at bedtime could not sleep the entire night, had some upset stomach, that's the bad side, I have 3 damaged disc in my neck and 3 damaged disc in my lower back, so I have a great amount of pain but from the first dose pain didn't stop completely but was greatly improved I don't know if this medication helps with anxiety but it gave me a sense of calm, didn't sleep but felt very relaxed, my cost after insurance and a coupon was only 25.00."


"I've been on the necon 1/35 for almost 2 months now. I am definitely experiencing the breast tenderness & enlargement. The tenderness is so bad right now I feel squeezed while wearing a bra so I don't wear one while I'm at home. I have also been experiencing mood swings and crying spells. Dizziness occasionally too. I'm calling my doctor's office tomorrow because bigger breasts isn't worth all this!"


"I am 26 years old and very sexually active with my partner. My doctor started my on this pill because of breakthrough bleeding I was having in between periods. I only tried this pill for 2.5 months and did not like it. I had breakthrough bleeding more often than before, extreme fatigue at the start of the 3rd month. I experienced extreme fatigue/dizziness and normal period like symptoms; heavy bleeding, painful cramping and bloating when I wasn't supposed to be having a period. Also, sometime during the 2nd pack of pills I had a horrible acne outbreak that I couldn't figure out. It was very frustrating that I was having so many in-between periods when that was the reason I started taking the pill."


"Started farxiga was already on metformin XR. At first I lost weight, blood sugars stayed the same, now increasing. Sugar levels stay high for some time. I have an increased thirst and frequent urination. Been on it for about a year. Now I have gained weight, suffered dehydration a couple times had to have an IV of fluids. A1c is climbing started out at 8.1 now 8.9. I woke up this morning with upper left quadrant pain. For the past two weeks have had smelly urine, almost acidic. Swelling of eyes and crusty eyelids. Hives on neck. Got tested for lupus was negative. Going to see the doctor as soon as I can get an appointment. Going to stop taking this med, now! I stopped and all side effects stopped. Thought I would give it a try one more time."


"After trying about 10 different medicines this one has been the best."


"I have had psoriasis for 20 years,  on my scalp and body.  I have tried every cream,  ointment,  pill and quite a few shots. So when my doctor suggested trying Cosentyx,  I wasn't exactly thrilled to have to give myself shots again. But I tried it and after just the first month I could finally see my knees, I didn't have to apply and creams, ointments or scalp oils. Every last bit of my psoriasis was cleared, 100%, I couldn't believe my eyes , I  was amazed!!!! 20 years of putting on scalp oil, with a shower cap on and going to bed embarrassed next to my husband, and now I can get out of the shower, style my hair and go,  NO MORE SHOWER CAPS!!  I know every medicine works differently for every person,  but you have to give it a try!"


"Works great!"


"My dermatologist gave me a sample to try on my arms for keratosis pilaris rubra (I also have mild rocasea on my face). I was amazed at how quickly the redness on my arms disappeared. Usually I do a lot of research before trying new products, especially those that are prescription and not life saving. Unfortunately this time I was in a rush to leave home and didn't. Approximately 24 hours later both arms went beet red. They burned for hours. Finally the redness subsided but it happened again about 24 hours after that (only one arm this time). I was not in contact with any normal triggers i.e. sun, alcohol, etc. After one application the rebound occurred. How long before it goes back to normal?"


"I have been taking Lortabs for 2 1/2 years and it works for my headaches."


"I am on my second week of Sprintec. I started taking these because I already have the Paragard IUD and it was giving me heavy periods, cramping before, during, and after periods, and I also had very thick stringy discharge. My doctor put me on Sprintec temporarily because the extra boost of hormones should help my condition. So far, the side effects have been minor. I noticed it is starting to help with my acne, and my discharge has thinned but it also has an odor. Almost immediately after taking a pill, I get dry mouth and start to get hungry. Eating small meals or skipping meals is not an option after taking it. If I don't eat a decent sized meal to calm my hunger, I get weak with nausea. I also get somewhat jittery."


"I have been on Tegretol XR for about 3 weeks now for Trigeminal Neuralgia. I take 100 mg 2x a day. It took like two days for it to work. I only start to have pain from the attacks when I'm due for my next dose. And it's not nearly as bad. The only problem is that I'm already on pregabalin for fibromyalgia, so the Tegretol added makes me totally out of it. I can't remember things, I'm double drowsy all day, I zone out, and I don't like that it has negative interactions with about 500 medications including Tylenol, which I usually take for breakthrough pain because ibuprofen doesn't work on me. So overall, it helps but I really hope I don't have to take this for a long period of time."


"I just picked up Belviq over the weekend and I can say that I noticed a big change in my appetite. It's as if I have no energy to eat more than I have to and my stomach feels more full sooner into the meal so I eat less. Now I have tried many diets, many weight loss supplements without success so I was skeptical. Belviq is different. Instead of messing with your metabolism, it focuses on the appetite center and nothing more. I have had no side effects! Unlike the others I have tried in the past such as anxiety, nervousness, headaches, palpitations. I'm motivated to finally lose that 30 lbs my doctor keeps yelling at me about!"


"I started Buspar because I was having anxiety with the horrendous pain from gallbladder attacks. I started out at 7.5 for three days and then was supposed to advance to 15 mg.  During the week of starting this, I had to have an emergency surgery for my gallbladder.  When I was finally able to take this consistently, I found that I suffered from insomnia, felt restless and nervous, dizzy, and down right horrible. I have taken it less than a week and I have an appointment to see the doctor tomorrow.  If I stop taking this, will I have withdrawal symptoms?  Or should I do this gradually?  My gallbladder symptoms are gone and my body feels great after the surgery.  Any suggestions?"


"My 19 year old son has been on Accutane for 4 months now. His face is much clearer but his 2nd month blood test showed his blood triglyceride levels had jumped from 120 to 730 (that's really high and bad). It's a rare side effect that tends to happen to people who may be genetically predisposed to diabetes and high cholesterol. He changed his diet from mostly junk food to a low fat, low sugar one so he could continue on Accutane, and his doctor put him on medication. Two weeks later and 10 pounds lighter his blood triglycerides were down to 65. His face continues to improve, he feels great, and has learned to really enjoy healthy eating. Moral: get those blood tests. The life you save may be your own."


"I have been on this BC for over a year and I have no complaints. No acne, weight gain, or pregnancies.  My breasts grew a cup. Periods are lighter. I cramp worse but it's nothing I can't handle. I love it."


"I was put on amoxicillin for abscessed tooth and it helped but did not completely clear the infection.  Am on Flagyl now and I feel better than I have in years. Instead of sleeping ten hours a night I am sleeping about six and yet I have more energy than I have ever had.  I feel so good right now that I would like to take this forever.  My fibromyalgia is in remission and the chronic fatigue is gone.  This is an awesome. I wonder if the really bad side effects for other patients is because they are allergic to it, or this antibiotic is just not the right one for the infection that they have (and are they staying away from fermented sugars/alcohol?)."


"I have been on Losartan 50mg once daily for a week now.  The only side effects I am experiencing is facial flushing.  My cheeks feel like they are on fire and are really red.  I have also notice a slight mood change and I am itchy on my arms.....  I am going to consult my doctor and see if I should be concerned."


"I was given choromycetin when I was 15 years old.
It was considered an experimental drug at the time.
I ended up with red petechiae (distinctive red rash) all over.
Saw a hemotologist when I was 18.
Had a bone marrow test done.
Declared thrombocytopenia and idiopathic thrombocytopenia drug induced.
It has been devastating for me.
Many healing drugs given to me has had large consequences on my life.
It has been a life -long process of convincing untrained doctors of my condition.
Most doctors weren't born when this drug came on the market.
Therefore they are ignorant of any complications!!!!!!!!!
I am 66 years old.
I now have been declared with a new title. Life-threatening Autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
They have given me prednisone and Ritoxan.
Not helping much."


"I've got strep throat probably about 4 times in the last 12 months, I've usually got Amoxicillin for strep (what my dr always prescribes) a couple months ago when I got strep throat, I went to my dr and it was after hours so I seen someone I never seen before. She gave me a steroid shot for swelling and also a antibiotic shot, prescribed cefdinir two times daily for ten days. It worked great! I felt better after two pills the first night. Well I got it again a few days ago and was prescribed cefdinir again and I'm so glad because it works super fast! Better than amoxicillin in my opinion. The only side affect is diarrhea. I haven't really had it this time but I did the first time I took it. LOVE this medicine. I recommend it."


"Unreal difference.  My side effects are minimum and I'm on 60 mg a day.  This is one stop shopping.  I had terrible acne--cysts everywhere.  I'm 3 months in and it's almost completely gone."


"Tri-Luma is miracle in a tube I've been struggling with dark spots for about 4 years and scars from severe acne tried every skin lighting cream you can think of and nothing works  went to a dermatologist and he prescribed tri-Luma an I saw results in less than a week. Being using it now for about  weeks an my spots completely gone.  Great product I would recommend it to everyone who struggling with dark spots. insurance doesn't cover it but can get it at Walmart for $118.00 with the result it worth every penny."


"My husband was hospitalized for 10 weeks before passing away. I could not sleep - my thoughts were spiraling and racing. I had an anxiety attack in the intensive care unit and thought I was having a heart attack. I hadn't slept in 5 days. My doctor prescribed 1 mg Ativan taken 30 mins before bedtime. What a godsend. I sleep straight for 6 hours every night. I've tried sleeping without it and I'm awake all night. I worry about tolerance. So I go without it on weekends and lay awake for two nights.  I can't wait til Sunday night so I can take the Ativan and get some sleep.   I've been on it for 6 months now."


"I'm 56. I've been on Prozac for about 20 years. I would rather not take any medication but the reality is that, for me, there seems to be no choice. Like many who have seen their share of shrinks, I tried everything - and then everything in every combination. Prozac is the only drug that helps me.
I have been off of Prozac now for about 3 months. I tapered off very slowly. Thought I made it! But I have gone back to my old miserable self. I hit myself, hard. I want to break everything that doesn't "cooperate" immediately - a button, a hard-to-open package, or a pen for example. I never feel like hitting another person - just myself. I'm going downstairs to begin my Prozac regimen again."


"I have suffered for 8 years been hospitalized and tried many different  meds with side effects varying and different levels of therapeutic results for my schizophrenia/bipolar disorders.  A few months ago I had a severe schizophrenic episode was hospitalized and went from a high dose of Seroquel to a high dose of Abilify.  Once home, I experienced severe muscle spasms, insane restlessness, and weight gain. I knew I could not tolerate the medication but I wasn't stable enough or even completely to a good baseline despite the high dose.  My doc introduced me to Latuda and it was a miracle pill almost immediately.  My weight continued to creep up on it but that is my only complaint. I take 20 mg with no nausea or side effects."


"I had high hopes for Belsomra. My neuro mentioned it to me last Fall and I was first in line for a prescription when it became available in ~January. Ambien CR has proven effective over the years. Clonazepam is a great occasional substitute. But Belsomra? Nothing. No impact whatsoever. 20 mg, nothing. 40 mg, nothing. I'd happily pay the $100 per mon if it worked."


"My son has been on Concerta for about 4 years now. He started when he was 6 yrs and will be 11yrs in 2 weeks. He was put on this medicine starting with 18mg. Over time he was gradually put on higher dose as his age and weight increased. He is now on 54mg. Since my son has been on this medicine he has developed seizures because Concerta lowers the seizure threshold. He was diagnosed last year 2010. He has paranoia, fearfulness, psychosis, headaches, nervousness, aggression, mood swings, trouble going to sleep, and doesn't want to eat a lot. He has had suicidal thoughts and depression."


"20 pound weight gain in 3 months"


"Singulair causes symptoms in children that look like ADHD or ADD. It causes irritability, aggression, impulsivity, and hyperactivity in children. Before you treat your child for ADHD, try switching to an allergy or asthma medicine that isn't this or a corticosteriod"


"I've had severe symptoms of PTSD for years. My mind/body disconnect, along with feeling very unsafe most of the time was a huge problem in my life. I became afraid to go out. I was afraid of people.

I was placed on lamotrigine and was tritiated slowly to avoid the rash. I got to the 100mg mark and I feel like a new person. My fear had dimmed significantly and my mind actually listens when I go through the CBT steps to reduce anxiety.

I could not be more grateful. It makes life less about suffering and more about living."


"I've been on carvedilol for 6 months, in conjunction with lisinopril, and it has worked well on lowering my blood pressure, where the lisinopril alone was barely fazing it. With no medicines my pressure was running around 200s/120s, on lisinopril alone it was only coming down to 180s/100s. Since being on carvedilol, it runs (in my opinion) a almost too low, around 90s to low 100s over 50s. This doesn't bother me so much, but occasionally, and for no reason I determine, it will either spike or plummet. It has been as high as 180/98 and as low as 86/38. THAT was scary. I also have nausea, dizziness upon standing or moving very suddenly, and nearly disabling headaches. I like what it does for my blood pressure, but not how it makes me feel."


"It took a few months for it to start to settle in, I think, but  total game changer. 6 months ago I was in an awful state due to undiagnosed OCD & depression. Started going to therapy and taking prozac and now it feels like I'm standing on more solid ground. I haven't felt this good in years and feel silly for my past apprehension at trying SSRIs.

Only side effects I've noticed are I'm a bit sleepy throughout the day and I'm having vivid dreams most nights (never remembered my dreams before taking prozac) but no complaints about the latter. Recently bumped up to 30 mg after being on 20 for a few months to try and kick the last of the obsessive thoughts. Really couldn't recommend enough. I can only hope this keeps working."


"So, i got all 4 of my wisdom teeth out on Wednesday, July 12th, and I was completely under anestesia in a surgical center. I was not able to move my bowels after wards because of the anestesia and medicine. It's 4:00 on Friday, the 14th. I took Milk of magnesia at 3:30 and I am finally using the bathroom !! Highly recommend"


"My experience with Nexplanon was horrible and would like to share my experience, although everyone is different and what doesn't work for me might work for you or vice versa. I had the Nexplanon placed 3 months after giving birth. Before that I was happy, high sex drive (always have had high sex drive), regular periods, and overall very long life. After Nexplanon I had non stop bleeding, severe headaches, severe dizziness, severe lightheadedness, extreme fatigue and severe mood swings. I felt like I was going downhill because I felt sick all the time and extreme sadness and depression. I had it removed because I no longer felt like myself and felt like I was making bad memories on what should be my most precious moments with my family."


"Received bad second degree burns on both forearms from an accident working near a pizza oven.  Was prescribed this miracle cream and my burns healed without a trace of any lasting scars.    It's been about fifteen years, and I still can't tell exactly where I was burned!"


"I've been taking various doses of Xanax for about 24 years, more "on" than "off" but it has been a God send. I developed severe PTSD during military service which was exacerbated by multiple sexual assaults in civilian life, and later military duty. Without this medication I don't know how I would have been able to function all these years. If you take Xanax, DO NOT attempt to combine it with Prozac. I took it and ended up in ER having a status panic episode ("adrenaline storm") which I wouldn't wish on anybody. The Prozac was decreased and the Xanax increased. I haven't been able to successfully go back down to the previous low level dosage yet but we're hopeful. I got my life back the first day I took Xanax and have been doing well with it since."


"I'm an adult who has taken this off and on for 4 years.  I've always had trouble concentrating and Focalin is an effective fix.

I do think there are minor side-effects though.  It makes me feel much more focused and less worried/panicked about what I need to do.  Unlike other though I would not say it calms me down I feel like it actually stresses me out more.  When I take this I'm more serious and easily annoyed and I can't relax.  I have also found that my appetite drops off and that I don't sleep very deeply.

Overall a great medicine but for me and many ADHD people our symptoms are brought out due to simply a lack of strenuous physical exercise (1hr) every day.  When on a regular exercise and sleep schedule I do not need it."


"My cycle have been on for over 3 months so I went to the doctor. She prescribed provera. The first day after starting the medication I cramped (I'm not a cramper). The cramps stopped but the bleeding never did.   About two weeks on the pill, I started bleeding really heavy and passing too many clots then I came research. I wouldn't recommend this drug to anyone."


"I an 18 this is my 3rd birth control I tried in a year, Did the job but I definitely noticed a lower sex drive and feeling super emotional. Crying at the thought of things and became super sensitive. I'm hoping to switch to one that suits me better as it emotionally draining being so emotional and sensitive, which has effected my relationship time to time because everything bothers me. I can become very irritable as well. Overall not great not horrible.."


"The first few times 5, I used the patch I thought it was a godsend.however,this last time I used it on a 6 hour flight I began to have blurred vision.extreme dry mouth the scariest side effect was hallucinations. I did not know who I was or where I was thank goodness II was not traveling alone.DANGEROUS. WILL NEVER USE AGAIN!!!"


"I have been on this for 4 months initially for weight loss to reduce blood sugar. I have lost 40 pounds and 4 inches of waist.  The scale down program is amazing and frankly I would make any co pay to get this result rather than take diabetes meds. I am wearing clothing I haven't worn in over 10 years. My only side affect is constipation which is slowly subsiding and hot flashes/sweating so I walk around with hankies.  On the whole this drug is amazing. I am more active and focused and less moody too."


"Caused severe insomnia for the first two weeks, which went away. No other side effects. Does require blood tests. Now 8 weeks seizure free, down from 20-25 month of complex partials and grand mals. A miracle, as long as you understand and accept the potential serious side effects."


"Started praz last December for PTSD & nightmares/night terrors. Tried doses 1-6mg (as high as the psych would go). My nightmares started to slowly increase, and now, I suffer from chronic nightmares. Also started an increase in PTSD-related flashbacks & hallucinations (auditory & visual) Told the psych, and she had me stop it entirely, and I cannot shake the nightmares. I feel like I wasted so much money on a POS med that dumped all the adverse effects on my system. 0/10, would NOT recommend!"


"Started taking Votrient 800 mg last year after 23 days had to stop due to high blood pressure and got a fistula. 3 months later started back on at 400 mg. Seems to be doing better and taking 2 blood pressure medications to control it. Normal side effects like the ones I read about in this site. Last CT no major growths of my Sarcomas."


"I always knew I was different from everyone else. I was very quiet and shy. But in my mind I couldn't shut up. My mind was loud. In class I could never stop fidgeting, playing with my hair, scratching an itch, doodling on notebooks. I wondered why nobody else squirmed around like me. At 24 I was diagnosed with ADD. Adderall is life changing. I'm finally normal. I feel like everyone else. My mind is at ease. I am in charge of my thoughts. I can have genuine conversations with people without my mind wondering. I am finally happy after years of struggles. I am organized and more peaceful. "


"I started this pill 4 months ago, and my hair is breaking badly. I have mood swings very very badly.  Also I'm totally emotional all the time.  You would think I was pregnant, no sex drive and my husband is fed up with it! "


"I have chronic pain that can be so severe it makes me nauseated. Most days 50mg. every 4 hrs helps. But there are  days when nothing can touch my pain."


"The first week I started trulicity I was very nauseous! I take xigduo and truly city. I really didn't want to eat, it made me thirsty, I was drinking plenty of water. The only side effect I had was the nausea, it felt like when was pregnant but after the first week it stopped. I've lost 15 healthy pounds in 3 weeks with dieting and exercise. I recently became sick (unrelated to the medications) and had to stop taking my xigduo due IV contrast for the next two days, well my blood sugar numbers are still below 120 with trulicity alone. It's been working good for me."


"49 years old. Have had high blood pressure for a while now with readings like 175/102-170/100-160-/98 and when I would get stressed even higher than that. At night and at rest sitting in a chair it would come down to almost normal 145/85-150/88 but soon as I was active again it would go high .  Never could get it to straighten out.  Been taking Azor for a week now and out of 15 readings I have done my average is this 129/75. A lot of times sitting watching T.V it will be like 119/66-121/70 really great readings then when I get active I would check it and it would be like this 132/75-134/77 have had hardly any readings over 80 at all and the top number has not been over 140 since I  have been taking Azor. All in all no side effects. Great stuff."


"I took two Dulcolax around 5pm with some yogurt & a lot of water. Never having used laxatives or stool softeners before, I decided to read a few online reviews...bad idea. People's reviews had me thinking I was going to end up in the ER! And, apparently taking Dulcolax with antacids or yogurt is a big "no-no". I waited. About 4 hours later I had some mild cramping (not even close to as painful as I find my period cramps to be) which lasted about 30 minutes. Shortly after I went to sleep. I awoke 4 in the morning needing to GO. Such a huge relief! My tummy feels much better. In hindsight, I'd only take one, avoid the dairy, & take it right before bed. Overall the product did what it's intended to do with mild side effects."


"I do great when on this medicine but if I run out.. I feel nauseated, my head feels like it's swimming, I feel mad and snap easily. So don't run or stop without your Doctor's help. I see my Doctor today, I can't wait."


"Started with 30 mg. First day taking it was ok but from day two until now I have had crippling diarrhea, wicked headaches and nausea. Stopping this nasty medicine today.

Unbelievable that I had to change doctors and I told the what had worked for me. Lexapro and Alprazolam. But these doctors think they know best."


"I have been on Depakote for about 11 years now. It works pretty well for the most part, but every once in a while my body gets out of whack and I have seizures anyhow. My doctors have tried other medicines as well but Depakote seems to be what works best."


"I used to take Advil for headaches years ago. I must have taken a lot of it, because I had many headaches.  It worked great at the time. Now I have micro colitis which can be caused from taking to much of this NSAIDS. I really wish Google was around back in the day when I was popping all those Advil! I wouldn't be in the situation I'm in now with my stomach problems!"


"I have been taking Loestrin for about 11 months now and I haven't had any side effects except that I never get my period at all, and I  would like to have it for at least a day so I could know for sure that I'm not pregnant. Otherwise I have lost weight and my acne is way better. I don't plan on switching anytime soon!"


"Effective but bitter taste.why not create some fruit flavor coating"


"This medicine is like no other! Am telling you for the first time, there is clarity of thought on my patient, she is actually working, cleaning, grooming and socializing,
80% recovery is seen! I can live with that. "


"I had Detrol and saw its effect in two days..but it gave me such intense headache that I couldn't tolerate it."


"i Is help to out me from muscle pain.  I am happy"


"I began this medicine in October 2016 (age 62) and saw immediate results.  Having lost a sister to  Leukemia just 9 months prior to my own treatment I decided to begin with this fairly new FDA approved regimen for  line treatment.  The results were amazing, lymph nodes began shrinking immediately and with 6 weeks none were palpable!  Due to onset a-fib, my oncologist would like me to switch to a clinical trial that is using the next generation of the ibrutinib medication which is showing less side affects, particularly with a-fib.  The next generation of this drug is showing less side affects, particularly with a-fib so I am considering."


"Geodon at 80mg makes me dazed, confused and dumb as a rock.  I lost my job due to it (forgetfulness, can't concentrate).  For Bipolar II and me, it's not a drug for me, but when I complain to the doctor that I want to come off Geodon, he increases it!  I am in the process of changing doctors, but in the meantime, I am hostile and negative to the world, especially my partner.... not good! "


Herpes Simplex, Mucocutaneous/Immunocompetent Host

"Very expensive though."


"After having such severe anxiety to the point of being suicidal, I have with the help of Valium been able to function again. Valium has saved my life."


"I think this is a decent muscle relaxer that works well to calm one's nervous system down when in high stress. Also works good to help slow pain and aches."


"I have been using this medication for 2 years now and it has worked great. I had used it in the past when I was younger but it was not effective as I was not using it correctly. I then saw another dermatologist who gave me some tips to using it correctly and ever since then it has worked great. I do get the occasional itching and burning feeling but I too think the benefit of using it out weighs the itching."


"Starting on .25 dosage and has helped my anxiety enormously. Have to say that has also helped my depression as well. I got my 1st good noghts sleep in months. Helps with panic attacks as well. I think sleep depravation plays a major role in scattered thoughts and feeling of hopelessness. Once we start getting back to regular sleep patterns, we can all feel sane and less overwhelmed in our everyday lives! Good luck to all!"


"My pain specialist recommended this and after reading reviews I was so reluctant to take it, however I tried it and yes it did work 20mins later. I found myself relaxed, it was like I took a valium but when I woke up my heart rate was so low which wasn't normal for me. My HR is usually 65-80 but when I woke up I had a irregular heart beat of 43bpm. I thought I was going to have a panic attack cos of a sunken feeling in my chest.
I suffer with PTSD, depression, anxiety and have CRPS so I do take 8 meds when necessary. Will I continue taking 2mg melatonin? No, unless the blood test shows ur "lacking melatonin" I wouldn't recommend this. The number of complaints is quite alarming to me."


"I was 214 lbs with high blood pressure and a BMI of 28.  Qsymia took away my appetite and allowed me to easily drop my daily calorie intake to about 1000 to 1200 per day.  Qsymia made food neutral.  I could smell it, see it as always but I had conscious choice over what and how much to eat.  I had occasional dry mouth and constipation but I believe most of that was caused by my significant drop in food intake.  I also got cold easily in the third month as my body slowed down my metabolism.  Those were the only side effects.  No exercise.  I lost 29 lbs in 3 months.  It's been almost 4 months and I've kept the weight off without Qsymia with a focus on eating smaller portions and making healthy food choices.  I highly recommend Qsymia."


"I suffered for 5 years with Anxiety and Depression.  I tried many, many antidepressants.  Nothing worked.  My T3 levels were very low but my TSH was only slightly high.  One doctor treated me with Synthroid but I had no changes.  I saw many doctors including an endocrinologist that told me that nothing was wrong with my thyroid.  After spending many hours online looking for answers, I found an endocrinologist that said he would try treating me with Cytomel.  Within a day I felt AMAZING!  It was like someone put new batteries in my body!  I am finally able to be happy and live life again!  Truly a Miracle!"


"I take the extended release once a day. I recently got a dose increase for my extreme fatigue. It has been about 3 weeks and I do not like the symptoms that occur with it. I feel like a zombie, I don't enjoy talking when I am on my medicine, I get extremely bad frequent headaches, I am even more tired when it wears off but I am unable to sleep, I get really irritable and moody. With the lower dose the main problematic symptom I would have was the dry mouth, but that was manageable."


"I have been using Generic Viagra for more than 2 years,  Viagra is the only medicine I have taken long time. it has really been a help for me.

"


"Worst pill ever. I have never experienced such awful acne as when I was on this pill. I had cysts everywhere and wanted to just cry. I do not ever recommend this to even my worst enemy."


"I have been using this medicine for three years now. It has been amazing. Before it used to completely clear my skin but lately I have some small breakouts randomly. I guess my body has got used to doxycycline but I won't stop taking it. I haven't experienced any side effects during these three years. Remember to take it after food with a full glass of water."


"I was perscribed Bactrim for a UTI. Day one I thought I had the Flu. Day 2 I could barely walk. Joints hurt very bad ankles, knees, wrists and shoulders.I stopped taking this medication. Called the doctor to prescribe something else."


"This medicine brought almost instant relief for a very painful neurological condition caused by a root canal procedure that went bad.  I suffered for two years before someone suggested this medicine.  After 4 doses I was free of pain and continue to be.  I understand I will be on this medicine for life."


"I've been on Spiriva for about 15 years or so. At first it helped my breathing a lot. Now, not so much. I've constantly battled the capsule not working. After contacting the mfg years ago, they eventually they reimbursed me for a box of the medication. They told me the amount of medication in the capsule would fit on a pin head. One day this week it took 3 capsules before finding one that worked. The plastic capsule sometimes seems to explode when you squeeze the lever to poke the hole in it. When it makes "that sound" of loud popping, after I try to use it and it doesn't work - I can open the handihaler holding the capsule, take the capsule out and hit it on my palm and tiny pieces of plastic fall out in my hand!"


"Geodon made me a zombie. I cried a lot more, I could barely drive. My eyes were half shut. I took it with lots of fatty foods as ordered. I couldn't speak coherently. Seroquel caused blackouts and rage, Zyprexa made me gain 45lb and caused akasthesia. "


"I got Implanon put in Feb 2013, while I was on my cycle. My cycle stopped when it was supposed to. About two weeks later I bled constant. The Implanon caused me
to have many side effects. I got depressed, anxiety, sad  and hormonal. And I bled constantly until May. Everyone is different and everyone's body responds in a good or bad way. After having it removed I'd say I'm 99 percent better."


"I've been on nexplanon for 3 months now. 2 weeks after the insertion instead of a period I spotted for 2 weeks and had mild cramps but nothing too bad, after the spotting was over it has been a bless, I worry less about pregnancy and so far no period, no weight gain ,no acne. Don't knock it till you try it"


"I have had a terrible experience with Gianvi. I have never had problems or side effects with any other birth control before. Gianvi gave me severe migraines. The migraines would be so bad I would stay in bed for days. Gianvi also messed with my vision. After taking it I started having blurry vision. It also caused me to have mood swings. I cried over anything, including commercials on T.V. After finally realizing it was Gianvi causing all of my problems my husband and I decided it was best for me to stop taking it. Best luck to any one who takes this."


"I woke up a week or more ago and found myself having to pee frequently. I thought "Oh that's weird." Then it began to smell funky and I decided to go get a urinalysis done. It came back negative, but the doctor gave me some Bactrim anyway. Halfway through my treatment with Bactrim, I had an allergic reaction and called it in. They gave me Macrobid instead, and gosh is it expensive. I took it for a few days for a total of 5 days on antibiotics and my symptoms were gone, but something new was happening. I always felt fatigued and nauseated, especially when I woke up, and when I tried to eat, I felt like my appetite had left me completely. My stools had turned to diarrhea and my stomach always felt uneasy. The doc took me off them."


"I am on day 3 of 15mg of enablex and my symptoms have gotten worse. due to the dry mouth I am drinking more which is making me go to.the bathroom more than I already was. Did anyone else have this problem??"


"I was in the ER w a migraine and dehydration due to vomiting. Instead of the regular phenagren I receive, I was administered Reglan.  I became very irritated, jittery, and irrational. I tried to get out of the hospital bed and pull out my IV. It took four soldiers (we are military) to hold me down to give me a shot to counteract the Reglan. Needless to say I have Reglan allergy in my medical records now."


"Vyvanse has changed my life, for the better. It gives me the motivation and confidence I need to complete tasks that otherwise would be daunting and unappealing. Talk to your doctor first to make sure you actually would benefit from it. The only down side is how expensive it can get if you're not covered."


"Okay y'all .. I was not prepared . I'm 23 years old & 24 weeks pregnant & this is my first YI so I call my OB and she says to use Monistat (either the 3 day or 7 , my choice) so I'm like let's get this show on the road . When I say I was not prepared , I mean I have NEVER experienced something like this in my life . The insert was fine , it's like a tampon . Inject the cream , take out the inserter and then  literally as I am standing up and pulling on my undies , all of a sudden my vagina turns into a raging ball of fire . I took a shower at midnight & sat there for 20 minutes trying to  rinse it . It just didn't seem to get any better now I'm laying down . Needless to say I'll be calling my OB in the morning ."


"I tried this after experimenting off and on with pills, Depo-Provera, and barriers over the past 5 years.

Pros: Transitioning immediately from Depo-Provera to Nexplanon, I have had 0 bleeding. Convenient. Insertion was quick, easy, and I experience little pain. No need to revisit the clinic every month or three months.

Con: I have noticed some weight gain. After receiving the implant on Dec 6, it is now Jan 7 and I have gained about 3-4 lbs. This makes me a little nervous, as I feel this could easily spiral out of control quickly. I'm afraid to think of what the scale will say in another month."


"My Tryglicerides and LDL Cholesterol have improved significantly.  My dry eyes have also improved significantly while on Vascepa.  I highly recommend Vascepa. I feel happy and healthy knowing Vascepa is helping me with my cardiovascular health.  I feel like it is money well spent to improve my health."


"September 2016 I tried the higher dose but could not tolerate it. Recently my doctor had me try the lower dose. I was able to tolerate it and then titrate to the higher dose.
Initially the nausea and indigestion were significant but I waited it out and it got better. I lost 8 pounds the first month. Had I not started on the lower dose there is no possible way I could have used the medication. My sugars average 112 over the past month and those are not even fasting. I really like the medication. It's a matter of just toughing it out."


"I just finished my first pack and haven't had many side effects. I was very worried about nausea but if you take it with food you won't have any problems. I have experienced breast tenderness, bloating, water retention (this is where the weight gain comes from), and a little bit of lack of sex drive. I do like it because it has cleared up some of my acne and I believe that I just got my "period" this week which was very light spotting. My insurance covers it also so it's free for me. I'm pretty happy with it so far and I'm glad its reacting fairly well with my body. Good luck!"


"I've been on this med for 2 months, and I've lost 22 pounds. Once you get over the hurdles like the jitters, headaches, and upset stomach..the med really is a dream. I have a binge eating disorder, and OCD. This has curbed that need to keep eating, and a lot of other problems related to the OCD. I'm less obsessive which leads to less compulsions, and not spending all my hard earned money on take out, online shopping, and other forms of useles spending.

I started out rather heavy, 353, and I honestly can say it's really amazing to not have that urge to eat all the time. It's amazing what you can focus on when food is not on your mind 24/7. It's nice being focused, and I can't wait to see where I'm at in a year!

It's a 9 because it's $$$"


"No periods. No cramps. Clear face. Limited mood swings, No loss of sexual desire."


"We had sex with a condom while possibly ovulating and the condom broke and neither of us noticed. I pulled out right before cumming but we were afraid some got in and immediately went to get Plan B. She took the pill about a half hour after sex. Cramps about a week before her period was due and she got her period a couple days early. We were afraid it was implantation cramps and bleeding because of when the cramps started and the color and how light her period was when it started. The next day she woke up with a lot more blood and continued to bleed throughout the day."


"I was badly constipated for 4 or 5 days. My stomach and my back were aching. No matter how much water and fibrous foods I ate, I wasn't able to go. At my wit's end, I bought Senokot S and took one pill at 9 pm and another at 1 am. While I could feel it working (I had some strange feelings in my stomach), I didn't get bad cramps or pain. At 9:30 am I was finally able to 'go' with no straining or pain."


"I've had roughly 8 sinus infections over the past 20 years and this is the first time I've been prescribed Cefdinir. I've taken it as prescribed, one pill every 12 hours, for the past 24 hours.  Unknown if this is working on my sinusitis, as my attention is now 110% focused on the most horrific and violent case of perpetual diarrhea I've ever experienced. Colonoscopy prep doesn't compare to this. The prescribing doctor and I will be having a conversation when the clinic opens later today."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Took my first dose of the salty cherry flavored liquid. Cool water, thick smoothie straw, less than 2minutes! Did a 20oz of water each half hour after for an hour and a half.....it hit me 10 minutes in, no cramps or rush to the potty. Just needed to go like normal, first ten minutes and fluid was coming out more clear. The key to the taste, get it down quick and don't think about it (lemon wedges are a saving grace). Trick to easing potty pain, eat light three days before, liquids ONLY the day before and easy as 1,2 and done!"


"Made my RLS more tolerable for about a year then gradually made it worse. I saw some studies that called this augmentation. I was on a very low dose so I just quit taking it. Its only been a couple weeks but I'm doing better off the drug than on it."


"Restoril helps me get to sleep and helps prevent me from waking up constantly during the night. I have had no side-effects from Restoril."


"I'm currently on my first pack of this new BC (took the last light blue pill and gonna start the dark blue ones tomorrow.) As of now my face is exploding with painful acne all over. I almost want to stop treatment right now. I know some ratings say to wait until month 3-6 to actually see any results. I haven't really noticed any major issues expect nausea in the beginning with TriNessa. ~sigh~ I'll continue treatment. Has to get worse before it can get better right? Does anyone have any suggestions for an acne routine to help with this painful explosion?"


"Restless legs syndrome is a hard problem to deal with. Mirapex seems like a God send. But like most things it comes with a cost.  First was the dollar cost which over the last 6 years has gone up considerably.  The next price you pay is from side effects.  Falling asleep while talking to someone is embarrassing and dangerous. But I've found a wonderful fix.  While at the doctors I had to use a Doctor's Assistant (who was playing on her cell phone while talking to me). She gave me a prescription for Mirapex that is time released and you only take it at night just before bed time. My energy level has increased 10x and I don't fall asleep while dinning out with my wife. Blessed by Doctor%u2019s Assistant and her playing on the cell phone actually was searching on the intranet for something to help with the problem."


"I have been using Guaifenesen for 10 years now. Like my  Doctor said, I had initial relief, then cycled between feeling worse and better, and now my CFS / Fibro is much milder than it was.  I avoid Salicylates, but accidental exposure  isn't a disaster, since I am not a strong blocker.  For me, it works best just before or just after mild exercise, like a 1 mile walk to work, or mowing the lawn. I take 1/4 of a COSTCO 400 mg. Tablet whenever I feel Fibro pain, or before anticipated exercise, or after unexpected exercise."


"I was recently prescribed to this birth control in order to monitor my reactions, for possible diagnosis of endometriosis. This is about my 3rd week, and I have noticed a drastic change in my mood. I feel constantly irritated or easily frustrated whenever I take it, and I have noticed that I have painful cramps more frequently than I used to."


Esterified estrogens / methyltestosterone

"This medication is a miracle. Hot flashes and sweats go away, sleep has returned, and I have more energy and clearer thinking. It helps with libido as well. I did notice some hair loss, which surprised me, but overall no other side effects. The major problem with estratest hs is the requirement for a one month prescription, you can no longer get a 3 month supply which would save money, and you have to call the doctor every month to get a new prescription. For women who are menopausal, I find this to be ridiculously inconvenient and costly. Regulations need to be adjusted to accommodate us ladies who need this medication to function. Medicare doesn't cover this med, apparently."


"It's great grades came up from straight F's to B & C's."


"Got prescribed clarithromycin for bronchitis, I have never felt side effects taking other prescriptions  like I feel taking this. I have the horrible metallic taste in my mouth, gassy, diarrhea, upset stomach, and now on day 5 and having nightmares. It has helped the bronchitis but I don't think I can handle the side effects anymore."


"Augmentin: The first time I took it was about 8 yrs ago. It did the job quick but I had diarrhea for about a year. {not kidding! also developed plantar fasciitis for a brief period possibly due to a lack of certain nutrients, caused by the extended bout of diarrhea} I did not know what probiotics are at the time!?:(
I blamed myself and that other guy, My doctor for not mentioning the benefits of probiotics. Probiotics maintain a healthy level of good bacteria that most antibiotics will destroy, This prevents or minimizes greatly any diarrhea.
Augmentin also contains clavulanic acid which causes the upset stomach. Ranitidine, which is an acid reducer can help soften the sour stomach often associated with augmentin. Augmentin does work!!!"


"This product is a lifesaver! I use Duac at night in combination with Differin in the morning and Sumadan wash before I apply both, and it has done wonders for my skin. I broke out terribly last year (I was 15 then) with huge white heads and bumps all across my forehead and T-zone, and the occasional chin zit. I began using this in June and by the end of the summer my acne was COMPLETELY gone. Aside from being slightly drying (which is totally fine so long as you use a moisturizer 30 minutes after applying)  this medicine is wonderful. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone struggling with moderate to severe acne, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't work right away like it did for me. Also, the tube lasted me forever! Almost 9 months."


"Within 24hrs pain and swelling decreased significantly from 10 to 3 on pain scale. My only side effect was diarrhea."


"For over a year I had dark marks on my face from the sun.  I used several of spots remover cream and nothing worked.  I went to the Dermatologist and he prescribed Tri Luma.  I used for 2 weeks and my spots were getting cleared.  I have use it for 3 weeks and I love this cream.  My cheeks are red most of the time but it really works.  It doesn't dry my skin, it just appears as if I wear blush.  I use sunscreen when I am out of the house."


"I've had to drink suprep bowel prep kit 5 times . 3 of them because I'm have bowel problems and they are using it to help me go. The other 2 kits are for a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. 2 days before the test I started a bland diet. No meat nothing grease, no bread.etc. 1st prep after a breakfast lunch and dinner of clear liquid I drink it. I took big drinks of the prep followed by some apple juice. I drink 16 oz of prep 16oz of apple juice . Asap I started running to the bathroom,.At 1:30am. Prep 2 same 16 oz prep 16 oz or apple juice plus forgot to mention 2 more 16oz of water with each prep and a cup of hot tea. Day 2 prep kit 2 . Same thing it is now 1:30 am am writing this while doing the deed. I truly hope this work procedure is at 6."


"I've been on Previfem for 3 months and I am still experiencing breakthrough bleeding that lasts until my withdrawal bleed. I take the pill at 6:15 every morning, and have never been off by more than 15 min. The only positives are that my breakthrough bleeding occurs like clockwork (after 12 active pills) and it made my skin better. But the bleeding itself drains the life out of me and makes me really depressed.

I gained 7 pounds on the pill, but I think I had a hormone imbalance that made me lose weight before that. I had lost 10 pounds while eating everything in sight before that, and I had a period that faded into light spotting but would not stop for almost 2 months (only stopped because of the pill).

I am switching pills next month."


"I was given Cymbalta for psoriatic arthritis and depression. It has been good for both but I developed a side effect. I asked my doctor and he said men can experience this. Urinary incontinence. With Cymbalta I noticed I went less often and also went less while going. But after going for some reason I kept going little bits over an over for almost 10 min. So Cymbalta to treat incontinence. No, But it can cause it in men."


"I am 52 years old, 5'5 and weighed 183 pounds.  Keeping my old eating habits and staying sedentary expecting this med to work netted a 5 lb loss over 3 months.  So I quit.  I restarted after a 6 month break with a new food & exercise plan.  My weight is falling off this time!  My learning is that this med is exponentially more effective if I take responsibility for getting off the sofa and spending more time & money in the produce dept.   I'm down 10 lbs in the first 2 weeks back on it. I've found some great recipes for vegetables I never thought I'd eat.  My appetite us suppressed enough that I'm perfectly satisfied with a 5 oz steak instead of my normal 16 oz.  I recommend Belviq but only as a supplement to healthier eating and exercise."


"I used implanon for 6 years and won the lottery in side effects- no periods and the first 6 weeks I actually felt euphoric! Has anyone else had that?  My mood went down after that but I felt like it stayed slightly above average for me the whole time on it. So for me it wasn't just birth control but an anti depressant. I went off it 2 years ago as we would be OK falling pregnant now and have been really struggling with mood swings during my periods. I hate it. My friend who had major depression in her trends found the same side effects as I did- more even moods and more productive."


"I have been on 3 OCP'S: Apri, Aviane and Lo Loestrin Fe.I was not able to tolerate Apri and Aviane. My side effects included depression and general feeling of sickness: headache and extreme nausea.  Change in mood: hypersensitivity. Increase in breast size,but  no breast sensitivity . No skin breakout or acne.The women in my family suffer from depression, anxiety and are not able to tolerate OCP's very well. After consulting with my Gyne she recommended Lo Loestrin Fe. I've only been on Lo Loestrin Fe for 3 days. So far, I've had a great experience . The only minor effect, but tolerable, are: night sweats, I take the pill @9 pm, slight increase in anxiety +slight stomach upset . Gyne gave me a sample,  so I'm unsure of price w/ insurance"


"My husband (75) non-smoker was diagnosed with Stage IV NSLC in December, 2014 with Mets to the bones.  Fluid around the lungs had to be drained every 3 days.  Chemotherapy did not help as the cancer continued to spread rapidly.  Radiation done on his spine in early May, 2015 to help wth the pain from the cancer in his spine.  This was a disaster due to burns on his esophagus.  New mutation testing in May showed that Tarceva may help.  June 5th my husband began Tarceva.  It has been such a gift.  We asked for time for him finish his life well.  (He had not retired from banking yet.)  His last scan (September, 2015) showed that the cancer in the lungs had slowed with no new lesions.  Bone lesions increasing at a slow rate."


"Blood pressure dropped sharply and nicely.  Able to halve the dose after a week.  Very noticeable pedal edema during medication and after stopping the medication due to excellent response and the disfiguring foot and lower leg swelling.."


"I have been on Arimidex for almost a year now; as far as side effects, most problematic for me seems to be weight gain.  Sure hope and pray I have no more serious side effects than this.  Take my Arimidex every morning with breakfast."


"Started at 10mg quickly moved to 40mg paroxetine erased my anxiety and elevated mood as well increased my energy levels"


"I'm a 19 year old girl and I've been suffering from major depression and social anxiety for the past 5 years. I finally went to the doctors and was prescribed Lexapro 10mg. I've been on it for 4 days now. I had side effects the first day I took it - nausea, slight headache, slight dizziness, sleepy and yawning a lot and most annoyingly INSOMNIA! I even felt a little confused at bedtime while trying to sleep. The side effects lasted for the first 3 days, now they're slowly going away. The first day I was really hyper and the next I was so tired but now it's starting to balance out and I can sleep better. I haven't had a depressing day since I've been taking Lexapro so lets hope it stays that way."


"Have taken this med for 28+ years with no seizures during this time.  I have experienced no side effects except that my hair has become very curly.  Lots of compliments!  No down side.  I am seizure free.  No other med has worked for me."


"I woke up at 2:30 am with an awful , radiating tooth ache . The kind I have to stand in a warm shower as any medicine kicks in .  I took aleeve PM this time and the pain subsided way faster than with Advil or Tylenol - I didn't even double dose . (Bottle says not to )

I did get to sleep , it was a bit better than usual . We have 3 young children who wake up early and I didn't notice them as much this time ."


"Very calming to my anxiety"


"I just started taking this after being almost debilitated by mirtazapine. I don't know if for sure I have energy increase because of the Wellbutrin or because I quit taking mirtazapine. At any rate, I do feel better overall."


"I have such severe constipation that I end up in the emergency room for it because I'm so full I can't eat or drink for days. My stomach will not growl for days because there is no room. I will go weeks and no bowel movement. I tried everything even prescription medications as far as them giving me the stuff you drink when you get a colonoscopy. My doctor finally gave me linzess. I take 145 in the am. First two days I did have watery stools pretty quick after taking. Next few days it was hours and I only had regular bowel movements. Every few days I do have watery stools. I am still new to the meds. So far though this is a miracle!!! Before I couldn't eat, drink, leave the house, sleep for days because of the pain."


"I started Metformin 500 mg. 2 weeks ago and started .6 of Victoza 9 days later. My doctor gave me enough meds (Victoza) for 4 months! I've dropped 12lbs but I feel horrible.  Fatigue,  nauseated and can't even stand the smell of food.  My fasting numbers were 270's and now they're low 140's and 130's.  I hope the horrible side effects resolve so these numbers will stabilize and I can drop at least  30 more pounds!"


"Great medicine, but if I missed a dose I would feel nauseaous.  Once I ran out of it and missed 2 doses and got really sick with sweats, nausea, chills, and faintness.

Don't ignore a rash.  There is more than one type of rash.  One type is extremely dangerous.  Call MD or if you can't, go to ER.  I did not get a rash, but would have done something about it immediatley..."


"Helping with my leg pain after hip surgery but bad dreams."


"I was prescribed metro after noticing a pungent smell coming from my lady area which was a symptom of bv. I was instructed 2 times a day morning and night for 7 days, on day 3 the smell was completely gone but I'm still doing the full 7 so I don't risk the symptoms returning. I eat a meal before each pill and wait 10 minutes for the food to settle before taking the pill and I haven't had any headaches, nausea or blurry visions some people have experienced. The downside is that the drug kills bad as well as the good bacteria so there's risk of a yeast infection so I've been eating yogurt daily to try and prevent that, so far I am happy with the results and on day 5. The downside of the pill is the metallic aftertaste which is really strong a"


"I was off of work for two weeks. I figured I would quit smoking as I have a high stress job and quitting while working would be a nightmare. I tried quitting at the beginning of the vacation, but as happened with most previous quitting attempts, I failed after day 3 (My hardest). I started taking Chantix two days later and after 3 days on Chantix I just stopped smoking. It was not easy. It still takes some will power but it only took a fraction of the will power it took the past few times I tried to quit. I have been smoke free for 14 days now. The cravings still come from time to time, but after the 3rd or 4th day they have not been nearly as bad. Just get through the first few days. I smoked a pack a day for 18 years."


"I have taken this for Diverticulitis and BV. It works. Had bleeding and severe almost septic Diverticulitis, was in hospital for 5 days and this cured it. Gets rid of BV too, just make sure to take Rephresh Pro-B pill immediately after finishing course of flagl and continue for a few months if you want to keep vagina healthy. Side affects of flagyl are diarrhea and slight nausea but bearable, just take it in the middle of meal. If you have horrible affects from it you are having allergic reaction, not side affects. I know bc my mom is allergic to flagyl. If taking for diverticulitus, take high grade probiotic for 2 months after finishing course of antibiotics to replenish good bacteria in gut."


"I have been using Aviane for months. This is my first birth control and it has put my hormones back on track. Before using Aviane I cramped up to a week before starting and 7-10 day long periods. I was also extremely moody before on the pill. Now my periods are 3-4 days long, my cramping no longer requires pain meds, and I'm no longer moody. The only side effect I have is a low sex drive."


"I was on 10 mg for seasonal affectional disorder. The medicine did a good job. I found that I could not have any caffeine while on this medicine. In March I was able to reduce to 5 mg in preparation of going off when the time changes (days are longer). I noticed I was having side effects just cutting down.  I was achy all over. After about 4 days I happen to have a green tea with ginseng. Within a half hour of drinking it, the achiness was gone. I tried reg coffee the next day. No achiness but had to watch jitters.  I don't know if this will help anyone else but it did me"


"Great medication to relieve anxiety. Sex drive went down first two weeks. Go a bit worried, but body adjusted. Occasional dream of gruesome things. Usually what I see on the news or discuss with family. Can't tell whether or not it's due to Lexapro."


"I have used the mirena as it seems to be the most consistent release of hormones, therefor helping mood swings, acne, weight gain etc. I just had 1 removed and another placed. Never had children, and my cervix "falls to the floor" and to a side, so it's a bit more uncomfortable than some women. But, nothing that extra water and advil cant soothe. It is def worth 1 day of uncomfortable for 5 years of relief lol. My periods mostly stopped basically was spotting for a day or two after year 1. Prior to year 1, still light but lasted a day or so longer. My strings to the first got "lost" so dr. (Highly recommend an ob/gyn)  used ultrasound to locate and and get it before replacing it. So, a few negatives but well worth it!"


"Fantastic."


"As a rescue inhaler - this one is the best!  It does not cause you to feel jittery like the others do.  It sometimes costs more than the other brands, but it is well worth it.  My son has moderate asthma that is under excellent control, until the dreaded fall allergy season.  He is very active and plays football and being exposed to his outdoor allergies in combination with the physical exercise, causes him to occasionally need the inhaler.  He used to delay using his rescue inhaler because he did not want to feel jittery and he could not stand the taste the others put in the mouth.  This brand gives him that immediate relief, but has exhibited no side effects in him.  I can also testify first-hand as I used it when I had bronchitis."


"This is the worst! I had my baby girl in March 2016, I decided I dont want to get pregnant soon, having 2 kids now, for now my baby days are over.my age of 23 I can't get "fixed", so since I got pregnant with #2 from the pill I decided to go for it and give the depo shot a chance, well, it was the WORST decision I could have ever made, hell I'd rather become pregnant again then keep going with these side effects of being constantly mad and angry, always yelling at my 3 year old and my other half, (my baby girl is always smiles so I never get frustrated over crying or fussy ness, she doesn't cry lol).

Keep in mind, I had my LO in march 2016, it's all most Oct 2016 and I'm STILL on my period, EVERYDAY!

Will not be going back for my next shot"


"Not much relief with lots of side effects."


"I have used this medication for about a year now. I have had migraines, but I have them in my genetics so I am not blaming the pill! As far as I know, it has been 100% effective in preventing pregnancy. I have not had a baby grow inside of me lol. My periods have gotten lighter and the start on about the Wednesday of the placebo pill week. I just chalk this up to when I used to be on Minastrin and that's when my period used to start on that pill. So all in all, I love it. Safe, free with my insurance, great option."


"HERE IS THE TRICKS; it tastes so bad,
1) add large ice cubes
make it very cold and you won't taste as much
2) my second dose I took straight up pretty much with just a touch of white grape juice and chased it with green tea, or let the green teas just swish in my mouth to get rid of taste
those tips will help;
other than that it works and you can! you can! get through 2nd dose with these tips."


"I've been in lamictal and Wellbutrin for over 2 years without a lift on severe bipolar depression. It felt like they kept me just from the edge of suicide but in dark misery.

We started trying atypical antipsychotics...abilify helped a bit with 8 lbs weight gain, saphris lowered anxiety and weight but left depression untouched then came latuda and life changed at 40 mg. The dark cloud lifted in three weeks and I saw and thought and felt clearly. I'm envious that people feel this way all the time and don't appreciate it all. I'm finally living and not just surviving.

Small prices to pay are sleepiness and having to eat so much to take the pills, because it knocks me out I eat later than I'd like and have noticed weight gain."


"I started Nora Be in April of 2016 because of severe cramping, vomiting, cysts that came especially burdensome with each menstrual cycle. It is now December of 2016 and I can say my pain and cramping has decreased to a much more livable situation. However, weight gain, laziness, anxiety and depression have all increased so much. I definitely do not want to go back to the pain but am thinking of trying to go without for a bit to see what happens."


"Omg..what a terrible drug!

I just recently asked to be changed back to Advair. My regular Dr wouldn't so I saw a colleague of his and she asked why I was put on it in the first place.

I told her that I did not know why he changed me from Advair to Symbicort when I wasn't having any problems with it. She changed me to Advair.

It is Monday  and I just changed on Thursday  and already I feel better.

Asthma is still bothering me and I'm on prednisone but my mental outlook has drastically changed for the better. I felt like I was in a depressing fog that i couldn't get out of. Cant believe I was on this garbage drug for a year and a half.

Coughing all the time.nothing much coming out.just constant coughing.

Thank God im off this terrible drug"


"I took januvia for about 1 year then one day my stomach started to swell up drastically  and my wife took me to the hospital when I arrived I could no longer walk and was put in a wheelchair. I was admitted but passed out, when I came to I had 4 I-V's in me and was totally soaked like I had just jumped in a pool. My white blood cell count was over 3,000, off the chart. One nurse accused me of overdosing on street drugs.. I was in the hospital for 3-1/2 days and spent 2 weeks on the couch and 2-3 months having people tell me I looked like I was dying and asked what was wrong. Januvia snuck up on me like a  poison snake. It overtook my system in 45 minutes from being with an irritable stomach to knowing I was dying and there was nothing I could do"


"This medication has worked for me for over five years. I started taking it for anxiety but it has also helped me with my extreme shyness. It throws a wet blanket over your emotions. It does reduce both the highs and lows and evens out your emotions."


"I got prescribed this medication because previously I was on trinessa which was giving me week long periods. The plus side of this medication is that I have 2 day periods, none at all, or just some spotting. So thank goodness for that. However, I have only been on it for a few months. The negative side is that it has caused so much acne. I never have had issues with acne, maybe a pimple here and there. I use epiduo every night which I have been prescribed for 7 years, but that doesn't even help. I have acne on my cheeks, big red pimples on my forehead, some of my chin... it's ridiculous. Decided to call my GYN and am getting switched to mononessa. Hopefully I still have very short/no periods but my acne will also clear up!!"


"Brintelix made me feel angry and created very bad muscle tension my shoulders and arms. I've only been on it for two months. Went to an accupuncurist who immediately told me that it is one of the side effects of Brintelix. Trying to get off it as soon as possible."


"First had the extreme chest pain (like I imagine a heart attack would be) 10 years ago.  Tried many different products with my gastroenterologist's help.  Ended up with Aciphex.  Of course, the insurance company tried to get me to use other stuff.  "


"I am a 68 year old Vietnam veteran that has been exposed to Agent Orange and I have been plagued with atopic dermatitis for many, many years and the itching has gotten progressively worse. I was tested recently at NY CPH and found to also have a severe allergy to Ultraviolet B sunlight.
I have been on dupixent for one month and the results are amazing. I wish that this medication was available 40 years ago so that I did not suffer as I have. Arms, legs, back and face are all clear and thankfully the itching is all but gone. Have experienced minor eye irritation at outset but that too has cleared up. Hope is eternal and wish that there are no long term affects from the medication. I too hope that I will not be on long term maintenance."


"This is my first time ever in my life being on birth control pills. My 1st week on these things my flow was heavier than I have ever seen it in years.  I have always had my period regularly, but it would switch up once in a blue. My Gyno insisted that I get on them due to my PCOS. I am also unable to get pregnant and was also told it might help. So whenever I am ready to have children to get off the BC. I'm still not sure of how this works to get pregnant. I've just always been afraid to take BCPs only because I've seen and heard of the damages that have done to some women. Well I hope this plays out well. Will keep you all posted"


"Hands down the best birth control I've ever tried. I've been on it all this year and I have had zero side effects. No bloating, moodiness, break through bleeding etc. I take it at the same time everyday as it's recommended to do so. I just spot 2-3 days at the end of my cycle. Best part is that it's PANTYLINER light! Extremely happy that my gyno prescribed me this pill. I've been on the pill since I was 17, I'm 23 now, and have tried more than I care to remember. I intend on using Loestrin42Fe for years to come!"


"I was diagnosed with bipolar depression about a year ago. I have been on topamax for that as well as migraine headaches for 8 to 9ish months now.  The migraines went away, and I have lost about 40 pounds since taking Topamax! The only downfall is hair loss. I highly warn anybody taking this drug not to miss a dose or try weaning yourself off, because I have done both and ended up with very bad mood swings and will be crying on the floor one minute, then raging and angry, then it will be as if nothing happened."


"I've been on clozapine for four and a half year for schizoaffective disorder. I was on 350mg but took a seizure and the dose was lowered to 150mg. I feel well mentally but the clozapine has made me very unfit. Also the constipation I suffer has affected my quality of life.  I don't feel like socialising any more and have gained 3 stone.  Looking into changing to the drug Latuda that is new in the U.K."


"I've only been on the patch for a few months, and I think it's much better than a daily pill.  Two things are getting to me though--nausea and a little acne.  I've never had any problems with acne before, and I'm noticing some (not a ridiculous amount, but still more than I'm used to) since I started the patch.  Also, it seems like on my change day, I get extremely nauseous.  I work in a kitchen, so that makes it tricky.  I'm going to try something else for a while, but I may be back on the patch afterward."


"I give this a two due to the simplicity of it. However, I am a completely different person. I have mood swings; I have daily or weekly mood swings, I'll be ticked off for a whole day, then crying about nothing. I have had mood swings before and get over them. I don't get over these ones. My boyfriend has told me I am not the same person. As everybody's doctor has told them that everyone is different. I don't have my period, which is okay but can't handle the mood swings, I notice it during everyday life. I am actually getting it taken out."


"This worked really well for me. I didn't have any of the side effects, except some extremely mild cramping for a minute or two before it was time to "go". The only negative for me was that it took over 24 hours to work."


"I was on lamictal for about 5 months. Knocked out the hypomania but did nothing for my depression; it made me feel completely numb which was worse than being depressed/in pain. Also made me horribly nauseous for the entire time I was on it."


"I have been using this cream for almost a year and it's completely changed my life.  Prior to vaniqa I was shaving every day which was very upsetting I felt very embarrassed every thing in my life from where I was going or doing I had to consider my embarrassing problem would I be able to shave.  It was the last thing I thought about at night and the first thing I thought about in the morning.  Not anymore now I shave maybe once a week the growth has reduced by about 80% so it's a very light shave my self esteem is fantastic.  I don't have pcos my dr said it was ATypical (means no reason I think)   I'm in the UK so get this on script"


"I've had 3 or 4 yeast infections in my life. Twice I took an off brand suppository, once a three day oral prescription, and once a one pill one day prescription. Today I realized that my vag wasn't just mildly itchy; I had a repulsive yeast infection yet again. The closest store next to my place of work was a Market Of Choice (basically a huge mostly natural grocer) and all they had to offer was one box of Monistat 3! I wish someone would have slapped it out of my hand. I got home, took a Epsom salt bath, shoved the thing up and went to bed. Maybe 2 hours later I woke up, urinated, returned to bed and that's when it hit me. A burning so badly that I immediately sat up and started scream crying. had to rush to the ER it was so horrific."


"I work as ER case manager, there was many cases of influenza. Some how I became exposed without even doing any patient care. Wednesday chills started, Thursday at work had itchy throat and thought it was allergies. Friday had increased congestion, cold like symptoms, malaise, and body  aches; I sent myself home early. Went to urgent care, felt sick as a dog, knew fever was coming, waited 1 and a 1/2 hours with a mask on and snotty nose. Test positive for influenza A, filled my expensive Tamiflu prescription; next day, fever gone but very tired with upper respiratory issues. Come Monday feeling better, stronger but still taking breathing treatments. Med works but has difficulty with those who have asthma or other respiratory diagnosis."


"After I got home and had taken about 4 of these I had loss of appetite, and had a headache. I looked at the papers from the pharmacy and I seen it said sulphamethazole! I called my doctor in a panic since it is listed in my allergies. I haven't had an allergic reaction, but my dad and moms side have. I finished out the antibiotic and have been fine. I did notice on Monday, which was my last dose, that I was feeling really queezy and had a headache. But no hives. Also This did some weird things while on it. I felt sick, and wasn't hungry, plus gave me a little anxiety. I will go back in a few days to make sure it is all cleared up. I took it for five days twice a day. I do however feel tons better."


"I have been using Aviane for almost 4 years. It works well for me! No mood swings, short periods, no acne. And most of all I'm not pregnant. My breasts never grew though."


"So I've only been on the pill for a month and a week and its been good in comparison so the estrogen based birth control I was on previously because I have a sex drive and I'm not flipping out and acting crazy at all - but I keep getting what seems to be my period. I got my period two weeks into the pill and then I got my period again a week later then had a blood free week at the end of the pill pack but I'm coming close to the end of this next week and I'm bleeding again. Is this normal or should I see a doctor? Its really nerve wracking."


"The amount of characters I can type is limited but my story is long, so I'll shorten it for you. I've almost had the injection for a full year. I have also almost had my period for a full year, August will be the anniversary, and also when I give up on this birth control. Not spotting, a full on period. Upon receiving my last shot, the technician severed a nerve, I've never had a good experience with the administration of this injection. If I do not strictly work out based on how much I eat every single day, I begin to gain immediately. I also have extreme, very extreme body odor, vaginal, oral, the worst is under my arms. It also completely ruined my libido. From start to finish, the experience has been nothing but awful."


"My doctor replaced Prozac with Pristiq in hopes it would be more effective in fighting my depression.  At first I thought I was in heaven.  I'm in my late 50's and never felt this good ever.  I also lost 30 lbs!  As time passed, I became more and more manic. (not a feel good manic either).  Had to get off of it.  Shame.  When it was working for me it was better than anything I've ever tried."


"It really works effectively taken twice daily. I have tried everything that's available in market so far the best. With insurance and discount card I pay only $14.00 so its cheap."


"Pill was nasty. I finally dipped it in olive oil and was able to take it without tasting it. Took about 5 days for symptoms to resolve. Nasty medicine but will take again if I get bv again. No other side effects"


"I have cysteine stones...huge & chronic & constant! Passed 9 small stones within 30 mins after taking. And with very little pain in the uretha but doesn't help much with the ureter pain. I will use this again but not on a daily routine. Only when needed. Worry about side effects about a medicine meant for men."


"Worst birth control I have been on. I got it  1 and 1/2 yrs ago. First 7 months was fine, then I started bleeding randomly. I bleed on average 25 days out of a month (most days straight was 22) Those 6 days I don't are mixed in the middle mostly two days at a time,  some even include spotting which I don't refer to as bleeding anymore. I live with a tampon in! Had my hormones and thyroid checked for to see if that was the culprit and had a transvaginal ultrasound which showed I had a cyst on my left ovary. It definitely will keep you from getting pregnant due to the constant bleeding. I'm getting mine out at 10:20 tomorrow and I can't wait ( have thought about cutting it out myself ) I don't want to wait 12 hours!"

"Zanaflex works when I use it for my tight shoulders leading to my back; however I seem to be have some side effects that most people are just laughing off. I think my husband things I'm a little off. I have hallucination - yes, I realize they  are real. The other is when I start to move around all of the joint seem to be tight and the muscles spasmings around them. It is about 5-10 mins long. I lose my balance and one more thing, I have acute hearing loss, at times too. That could be unrelated."


"I get aura's without the headache (as well as the headache separately) which consisted of loss of speech, loss of power in my limbs etc and found that Flexeril often helps to prevent the aura's. Not sure why, and it isn't as effective any more, but to begin with as soon as I stopped taking it the symptoms would come back. After a year, I was able to stop taking it and the auras stayed away. Unfortunately, after 10 years they have come back and Flexeril doesnt seem as effective against them."


"Absolutely better than the narcotic pain relievers at relieving the 'acute' blinding pain of a toothache. Within 30 minutes the pain is gone, for 12 hours. Awesome."


"I'm sticking it out with Lyza though most times I don't know why. Everyone is different. So don't go crazy reading all these reviews. Try it and figure out for yourself if it is good for you or not. Unfortunately besides an IUD or a baby this is my only option for birthcontrol.
I have had very irregular bleeding. The spotting is enough to drive anyone crazy. My boobs hurt like crazy sometimes. I feel pregnant but I am not. Maybe that's how this pill works I don't know. Also I scoured the reviews so don't know if any one has had this experience but I have had lite bleeding during/after sex.
Figure out what's good for you. I wouldn't recommend this pill if you have other options."


"I go to a treatment center and get methadone as a tool to help me with my addiction. It keeps me from withdrawing and helps a lot with cravings and urges.  I strongly recommend this drug to anyone with an opioid addiction."


"This drug made my executive functioning a lot better, but it also almost immediately made me super down and caused partial seizures (I have no history of epilepsy). It may have triggered an episode of psychosis as well but I am still uncertain whether it was a psychotic episode or a seizure as I also lost control and sensation in my limbs while hallucinating before losing consciousness completely. I would not recommend this drug."


"The first night I was nauseated, but thought it was just from the sinus infection. Two nights later I started to itch all over, thought maybe it was something else and have been itching ever since (2 days ago). Also have thrush. I have been eating yogurt and it's not doing anything for it. I suppose the itching isn't as bad as the pain, but it's equally as annoying."


"Love it. Had it put in 10 days ago and wasn't as painful as I thought it would be.  I had spotting the first 8 days but nothing a liner could not handle.  The strings seem a little long to me and called the doctor. He said they can be trimmed at anytime.  I would recommend this to everyone I know."


"Tried this medication and it did not work. Side effects were bad. Headache, upset stomach, could not sleep. This medication for 1 month cost over $300.00 and there is no generic. "


"Great for anxiety. However, only recommend using short term. I've gone through opiate withdrawing as well as benzo withdraws, and benzo withdraws are far worse. Never felt more suicidal...use with caution..."


"I've tried a few different medications for oab......nothing really helped until I tried vesicare.....it's been a godsend for me what a difference to my everday life my life doesn't evolve around the loo anymore have switched to decaffeinated coffee also which doctor advised me"


"Been on Humira for 6 months, had 14 injections. It hasn't helped my UC symptoms at all. The injections burned really bad for several hours. Then the skin around the injection site  become red, raised, and very warm to the touch. The patch became bigger and bigger after each injection.   I have been more tired than I've ever been before, and barely have any energy to do anything but go to work.  Over the few months, I've had a few incidents of cold-like symptoms; fever, sweating, chills, that lasted sometimes more than two days.

As for my UC symptoms, there's been no change, and they possibly even got worse. On a typical day, I have 10-15 bathroom trips. On a bad day, 20 ."


"I take  10mg ambien, 3mg klonipin and 100mg of Seroquel.  Sleep pretty good most of the time.  A bit groggy in the morning but nothing a shot of coffee won't fix"


"I had been taking Requip 2 mg. ER for about 3 years. The effects were inconsistent and I was forced to supplement with 1 mg tablet before bed and when I flew or traveled by car.  I consulted with the sleep clinic which is certified for restless leg treatment. I was prescribed Horizant 600 mg 1/day and instructed to wean myself from the Requip, .5 mg 3x/day for three days, then two a day for three days then one a day for three days. The first night of Horizant and the reduced Requip was a nightmare of involuntary leg and arm movement, my entire body twisting and turning. However, remainder of my Requip withdrawal and taking the Horizant was a beautiful experience.  I slept better than I have in years. My sciatica pain also went away!"


"In the 6th grade I missed two consecutive days, then took my pill as I would any other day. Throughout the day I felt terrible and eventually I went to the nurse. She took my heart rate and said it would've been okay if I had just sprinted a mile, but I had been sitting in class. She checked again 10 minutes later and my heart rate was slower than it should have been at a resting state. She called my parents and I went to the doctor immediately. I had to be hooked up to machines and monitored. The nurse said I was lucky not to have a heart attack that day. I've been scared of Stratera/Adderall/Ritalin ever since."


"well, I personally do not recommend this pill. I have been SO sick since I began taking it about a month & a half ago. I was doing some research today & think I might be having a bad reaction to it. Not only have I developed acne, I've been having palpitations, racing hart beat, depression, severe anxiety, chest pain & heaviness and to top it off UNBEARABLE migraines every.single.day!
I feel like rubbish every single day and I do believe this medicine is the reason. Bummer."


"Smells bad but works well. I had a skin infection, which cleared up within a week."


"This medicine caused serious problems with my heart."


"Really happy with this pill.

I had been on cerazette which caused 3 months of continual spotting.

As soon as I switched to micronor it stopped and now I only get 2 days of light bleeding a month, with no adverse side-effects. :)"


"Ridiculous price. Makes using it prohibitive. Salix should be ashamed of themselves.
Lactulose worked very well and totally affordable."


"I have been taking Belviq for close to a month with zero results.  My Doctor says it could take 6 weeks for it to kick-in.  Has anyone else experienced a positive effect after 6 weeks or more? I had my side effects the first week, but then they went away.  This medicine is too expensive to get refilled if it's not going to work."


"I have been on Nuvaring for 8  months now and overall I've had a good experience. I used to be on the pill and would always have a period every 2 weeks instead of 3, since I've been on Nuvaring I'm right on schedule. If the ring "slips" it's an easy fix, and it's nice to not have to worry about taking a pill every day. It has only come out twice during sex, but again, easy fix. You can take if out before sex if you want if it makes you uncomfortable thinking your partner can feel it. My only complaint with the Nuva ring is that it has lowered my lubrication during sex."


"I find amatriptilene 50mg is helping me get a more refreshed sleep for my fibromyalgia and thus helping with pain issues....had fibro 30 plus years so its the best one I've had"


"My husband has borderline rheumatoid arthritis, is diabetic, has bouts of atrial fib, and is overweight. He is working on losing weight, so he can have surgical oblation on his heart, to minimize the afib. He kept having extreme muscle/tendon pain. Rheumatologist dx: fibromyalgia. put on Cymbalta, 30 mg x 1wk, then 60mg. been on 60 mg x 5 days, MAJOR difference in the pain. Hasn't complained at all. Whole new world. Has even helped his depression and anxiety attacks. (not clinically diagnosed, but still there). Unfortunately, it has made him severely tired, and his libido is not what it used to be. Beginning to be on the verge of erectile disfunction. Great drug, but at what cost? Something to think about"


"I started this drug about 4 weeks ago. Since I started it I have been vomiting and having diarrhea constantly. I am also more agitated and annoyed than usual, and I have been manic several times (I'm actually taking it for bipolar II, not MDD). It doesn't work as well as risperdal for controlling my mood and I can't keep anything down, but my psychiatrist thinks that's my birth control so I don't know that he'll be willing to switch me to another med. my mood swings have been a lot worse on this than on the risperdal which I wish I could have stayed on but it was messing with my prolactin levels. I almost killed myself 2 days ago and about 6 days ago I was extremely manic and spent $400 within a couple days. do not recommend for bp II."


"I had the Liletta inserted on the 7th of July (exactly a month ago) - The insertion was fantastic, I literally felt nothing (I previously had SKYLA- that was agony when inserted) Since the insertion I have had a fairly heavy period and have had non stop bright red, clotted spotting. I have also develop moderate to severe cystic acne (i had clear skin before) the acne is all down my chest, chack, forehead and dotted across my face. The dermatologist prescribed an antibiotic, I have been on it a week and the acne has gotten worse. Feeling like the Liletta may have been a mistake? The contraception benefit doesn't seem worth the acne and associated self esteem issues.Considering having it removed... Anyone else had severe acne side effects?"
