"I'm only on day 1 but it has calmed my heart rate right down from 140bpm to 88bpm"


"I have been on the patch for about 3 months now, I used to have severe headaches every day before starting Xulane. Now I rarely get them - only on my period. I also have not had any issues with the patch coming off, if anything it is hard to take off at the end of each week and actually quite painful! Also, the week before my period and during my period, I have intense mood swings and become extremely irritable and emotional. So, 2 weeks out of 4 in every month, I feel pretty terrible. I am considering stopping the patch completely, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to manage."


"I have mild social anxiety and low self-esteem. Whenever I have to speak in front of a group of people, be it a short introduction or a 15 minute presentation, I start blushing uncontrollably, my heart wants to pound out of my chest, and my voice starts to tremble. It's absolutely humiliating, especially when you're in graduate school and your peers speak competently. I tried out 10mg of propanolol (I'm a petite 5'1") an hour before my presentation today and was stunned. I not only did not feel terribly nervous, but I was CALM - almost lethargic. When I walked up to the podium, I could feel my nerves emotionally, but my body gave no unusual responses. Unfortunately I did get mild chest tightness a couple hours afterward. Worth it? Totally."


"Before going on this birth control I had mild acne. I wanted to go on birth control to clear up my skin but Trinessa did the total opposite for me. It made my skin ten times worse. I would wake up every morning with a new huge welt somewhere on my face and horrible pimples around my mouth and jawline. I continued using this birth control in hopes that it was just an initial break out and it would clear up (like everyone said it would) but after 6 months my skin was still horrible. The day after I stopped using Trinessa my skin cleared up almost instantly. I would not recommend this birth control to anyone. It is horrible. Even after being off of it for almost four months I still have scarring. Please find a different birth control!!"


"I only started talked Carbamazpine 6 days ago after the Dr told me I "possibly" have TN. My symptoms of extreme pain in my teeth/jaw on one side started a month ago only when I have something to eat/drink that isn't warm or if I breath through my mouth. I am only on 100mg twice daily and have had only a minor side effect of a very slight feeling of "spaced out" rarely though. The meds seem to have reduced the severity and length of the pain already but I'm hoping a trip to my Chiropractor can help even more. I will let you know how that goes."


"This drug gives me total relief within 30 minutes, usually closer to 20. It is amazing! I have noticed my mouth becomes heat sensitive (as in a cup of coffee) in the first 2 hours after taking Frova but this is a minor side effect."


"Was on Serzone for 10 years. The best antidepressant ever and I have been on most of them since my tour in Vietnam. No sexual side effects on like SSRI`s or SNRI`s. Then they took it off the market. Just recently went back to nefazodone. Serzone works so good."


"I have been on and off different birth controls for he past 6 years, including the mirena IUD, Nuva Ring, and other pills. The mirena made me lose weight and bigger boobs, but it also made me Crazy. Like a psychotic to my husband, and my acne was horrible. The Nuva Ring cleared up my face amazingly well, but made me gain weight like crazy, which in turn made me depressed. Some other pills I tried (can't remember names because there were probably 3 different kinds) worsened my acne or made me have crazy mood swings. A year After having a baby my doctor put me on mononessa, and it's the first time I have been happy with my birth control ever! My face is normally clear, weight is normal, mood swings low, periods normal to light."


"Because Flexeril made me really drowsy I asked for an alternative and was given Metaxalone. I found that it worked just as well without the drowsiness and I was happy with it. I take it for when I throw my neck or back out. Then I started taking Viibryd (anti-depressant) two weeks ago. I checked here for interactions between it and Metaxalone and it said there was none so when I needed it for my back this morning I didn't hesitate to take one. And oh my goodness, I became super drowsy and pretty nauseous. I was also a bit unsteady on my feet. I had to climb in the bed and sleep it off."


"I'm 24 have 3 children 4, 3, 11 months. I have been addicted to pain killers since I was 21, and I had to get off of it. My kids where suffering and my whole family. I found a great doctor and she gave me Suboxone. I have never felt better in my whole life. I'm so much happier. I don't spend my whole day looking 4 my next dose. I spend that time with my kids and my husband is way happier. "


"I broke my back in 02, i was sent home 4 hrs after being told i broke my back in 2 places.  It was a Saturday morning and i was handed 2 demerol pills and told to get a hold of my family doctor for full time pain management.  I was put on 8mg hydromorphone every 4 to 6 hours.

After being told the fractures were mended, i had a whole bunch of uninary problems, and paralysis to parts of my body for a week to 5 months.

After being told everything had mended i tried to go back to work, i just couldnt wasnt enought pain control so dr added 150mcg/h of fentanyl.

Now i only take the Hydromorphone for break through pain"


"Kept it about a year before asking for his removal. 9 months bleeding almost non stop and half of my boob size vanished, leaving them like 2 empty sacks (I'm 22). They kind of grew back afterwards but never got back to their initial shape."


"Works for me.... it has been a  cheap miracle drug"


"I'm a 70 year-old guy who has had BPH for over 10 years.  Was taking Avodart, which worked OK, but had the sexual side effect of reducing the amount of semen I produced, which greatly impeded my sexual performance.  Switched to 5 mg daily of Cialis 5 months ago.  I was pleased to find that semen production returned to normal in about 2 months, which was the main reason for switching drugs.  But much to my surprise I found that it reduced BPH symptoms by about 90%.  It's turned out to be a miracle drug for me--no side affects that I'm aware of.  Enhanced erections is an extra benefit."


"I am Bipolar II and have been taking Lamictal 200mg for the past year with great success but I started experiencing severe depression after a manic episode. My psych prescribed Latuda about 9 months ago. In the beginning I was on 40 mg and I began to better but my psych thought if 40mg is good 60mg is better. Well that turned me into a zombie. My whole body slowed down. I became extremely claustrophobic like I was going to stop breathing. I had to take it at night with dinner because it knocked me right out. I had my psych reduce my dosage to 40mg then to 20mg. However now that I'm on 20mg I still feel some depression so I don't know if it's worth being on. I do get Latuda for $15 a month using their savings card with my insurance."


"OMG
it's been half an hour that I inserted this med inside now and I can't even began to tell you the feeling of it! It burns and itches like hell. I'm at a point to go inside the shower and wash it off but will handle it like others for now. Hoping the next dose will be smooth  :'("


"My sister has been on this drug for 2 and a half weeks now.  She has had suicidal thoughts on more than one occassion. She's also having to triple her dose of Trazodone to sleep due to the insomnia.  And her depression is worse than ever. She's also become very aggressive."


"I recently started Contrave. I lost 10 pounds in a week and a half. It's been interesting. It's like I am hungry but I don't want to eat, and I'm okay with it. I changed my routine up a bit and now it's going really well. I eat a really big healthy breakfast, skip lunch (I'm really busy then) and then I eat a light dinner. I make sure to drink plenty of water!

I started with one pill a day and then moved to two. I had a pretty intense panic attack so I had to stop taking it. I have started back again but only with one pill a day. Two is obviously more effective, but Not at the risk of having panic attacks."


"I have been taking this medication a little over 7 months now. I take it so I don't have to get my period. I used to get  awful period pains and now I have absolutely none!  I used to struggle with acne and was worried it might make me break out, but if anything it made my skin clearer. Also my breasts went up a size and haven't gained weight anywhere else so far. When I first started I dealt with a little breakthrough bleeding but that went away after a week or two. So for me personally I have had a really good experience with it. I would recommend trying it, BUT if you feel depressed or get bad side effects like others on it, I would try something new right away. It's just about finding the right birth control for your body"


"This is hands down (for me) the best birth control I have ever been on.

I have been on Ortho Cyclen for years and my current insurance doesn't cover it soooo my Dr switch me to TriNessa.

I was literally terrified to take a different pill.

With TriNessa

I have had no cramps, no menstrual headaches and insanely LIGHT flow.  I also feel better. This bc has honestly been the best pill for me."


"I use Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia. I am in the land of living once again."


"I was a pack a day smoker for over 30 years and have tried to quit several times. The cravings were just too much to get over.  I had finally gotten to the point where I thought smoking was such a disgusting and expensive habit ...I just wish I could quit! My doctor prescribed Chantix for me one day and I let the prescription sit on my desk at home for 2 weeks before I started taking it.  I figured it wouldn't help but considering I spent $200 for it, I thought I would at least try it.  By the 3rd day, I hardly had any cravings at all. I even tried to smoke a cigarette but snuffed it out. It just didn't taste the same! I have had NO side effects except some crazy dreams....but honestly, I kinda like it!  Love this medicine!"


"This by far is the worse freaking mistake I could have ever made using monistat 7 ... the burning is unbearable .. I can't stand it!! Ugh!!"


"Got the implant in July 2014 after giving birth to my daughter. No period and no bad side effects until June of this year when I stopped nursing. Then began the random bleeding (for anywhere from a few days to weeks at a time). I have gained weight about 10lbs, but I'm not entirely sure if that is from Nexplanon or no longer nursing. All in all, it's not horrible, but I really don't like bleeding all the time!! I've been thinking about having it removed, but we plan on trying to have another child late this coming spring, so I'll probably just try to hang in there a few more months before having it taken out. It is effective!"


"I'm 20 years old and had my daughter about 8 months ago. I've had the mirena for about 7 months now. Getting it inserted did not hurt at all. At first, I was extremely upset. Hated it. I bled for 4 months. After 2 months I went in to the doctors because I thought something was wrong. Went in, nothing was wrong. They told me to wait it out a little longer. After about 3 months the bleeding slowed down. Became spotting. After 4.5 months, I stopped bleeding. I have no complaints. I'm glad I stuck with it. I've had my period once so far and it was very light. I haven't experienced any acne, mood swings, etc. so far, I'm happy and hope the next 5 years will be a good experience for me."


"So I was having cramps for 2 days decided to try this by recommendation. Took 3 tablets at 9:00 pm woke up at midnight with chills the worst cramps since childbirth & ran to the restroom! 2 hours later I woke up to thee worst sweats & nausea wasn't sure which end to put on above the toilet! Then woke up 2 hours later with the cramping again! So Yes this stuff works! But seriously start with 1 tablet and yes I stayed in bed the following day due to my lower back and stomach being so sore from the cramping."


"I have been on two other DMARDs (Enbrel and Orencia) with little or only so-so results. With Remicade I felt relief almost immediately with no adverse reactions. I noticed my inflammation and pain have greatly decreased but most importantly the fatigue that dogged me has lifted. I am hoping that this medicine keeps working for a long time. Best wishes."


"Husband became suddenly violently ill on Friday.  On Sunday, 4 year old daughter started running a fever that went away.  On Monday, 4-year-old fever was back mid-afternoon, husband barely moving.  4-year-old had diarrhea as well.   On Tuesday, 4-year-old tested positive for Type B, got liquid Tamiflu.   Very sick Tuesday morning, took first dose that afternoon.   Daughter vomited.

Wednesday daughter was obviously better, husband still horribly sick.  Thursday, daughter is up and dancing.  Still have diarrhea, but will take this over husband's version any day.   Expensive though.  "


"I was diagnosed with tendonitis and arthritis in the neck and was prescribed tramadol. It has really worked for me. I mostly take it at night, 1 tablet, to get some relief and some sleep for a few hours without pain. I used to take Percocet when I had a herniated disc in my back and although I got some relief, I was severely constipated, which I never am because I have colitis. After 2 bottles of stool softeners, a bottle of Metamucil, I was finally able to go. I got an intestinal infection because I couldn't go and I swore I'd never take Percocet again. Tramadol is strong and can have side effects such as stomach cramps and nausea but only if taken on an empty stomach. It has to be taken with food to avoid the side effects."


"Don't know how good they r  as they wont stick for  more than 3 are 4 hrs ...."


"Please, someone come put me and my poor, poor vag out of our misery!!!! I want to die. It's 3:12am and have to be at work in the morning. I inserted the ovule about 10 p.m. I woke up at about 1:30 a.m. the most horrible intense deep burning & itching sensation. I got up & went pee, and wiped a bunch of gooey mess. Then put on some of the cream in hopes that the burning would stop. The cream made it so much worse! I have since tried an ice pack, the cooling wipes, anything I can think of to stop the horrible burning. I can't fall asleep. I can't get away from the intense burning. I wish I had read those reviews earlier! I don't know if the product actually works or not maybe once the swelling & pain subsides I'll be able to tell."


"I've been taking lessina for less than 2 months now (for my Pelvic floor myaliga )and I've had a horrible experience so far. The end of the first pack (around the 2 white pill) I started my period and the first 2 days were fine (other than the fact that I'm constantly in pain) but the 3rd day I was terrible I went through 6 pads with a bunch of clots mind you I've never had clots with a period before. So I had to go to the ER.  Which they had to give me IV fluids and pain medication because the pain I had was so much worse than just the usually periods I get. They told me it was from the BC. And I should be switched right away. I also suffer from depression as it is and I've just haven't been able to pick myself up. I've been on so many BCs and nothing helps."


"My 7 year old daughter is severe ADHD.  Prior to Dyanavel XR, our best experience was with 30 mg of adderall XR.  But that had a profound effect on her appetite and ability to interact with other people.  We tried concerta which left her very defiant, Focalin and Vyvance were completely ineffective.  We tried Dyanavel for the first time one months ago.  I can't believe the difference.  She has an appetite, she socializes, she has a personality, she stays in her seat at school and actually works in her assignments.  After 4 days on this medication, her teacher called me and asked what had changed because she couldn't believe the difference. The only downfall is nighttime.  She consistently wakes up around 4-5 am with dreams."


"I was really worried based on some of the reviews but my Dr assured me I was a good candidate for it. So I got the Paragard today and the process was very quick with zero pain ( recently gave birth though) due to my Dr using ultrasound to make sure he placed it correctly. So far only experienced light spotting with no cramping. Only took less than a minute to place it. Right now I will give it a 10 based on experience today. So far, I feel completely normal and it's been about 10 hrs since I had it placed, but if anything changes I will be back with an update."


"Skin on my eyelids was persistently dry/peeling. Not painful or itchy, just an eyesore and gross. Tried lotions and oils, didn't help. Went to health center and was prescribed Desonide ointment, and within a couple days it was better. I have been applying about once every other day, and it has not come back. However, it was painfully expensive."


"I'm 58 and have Osteoarthritis in both knees but have moderate pain in my right knee.  My Ortho Doctor recommended the typical 3 weekly injections for the right knee and said realistically they were around 50% effective.  I just finished the third injection yesterday and went from a 3-4 pain level to zero pain.  I can now walk normally without  limp.  Wow ..... what a difference!  The injections were not painful, just a little pressure and took around 1 - 2 minutes to complete.  I highly recommend to try at least the first injection.  If there's no relief, don't bother with the remaining.  Fortunately insurance covered all but $50 for the Orthovisc prescription plus my office co-pay.  Can't wait to get back to a good exercise routine."


"I am 19 years old, no kids and the insertion was painful. I love Mirena, probably the best decision I've made in my life. Super effective, no side effects, and I have actually lost weight. I think everyone should try Mirena birth control."


"Caused vomiting with the first half of dosage. On the second half had vomiting with blood, bright red.was told to stop using it. had to have an enema just before the colonoscopy. The day after the colonoscopy, my stomach is still nauseated."


"Started on Pristiq just over 2 weeks ago. I'm starting to feel less pain. Still a bit twitchy but definitely feeling better about life in general."


"I've been on Mononessa for approximately 17 months to treat PCOS and prevent pregnancy.

PROS
1) Consistent periods
2) Little to no cramping
3) No spotting
4) No increase in acne

CONS
1) Digestive problems

This has been the most troubling issue.  Mononessa aggravated my constipation and no amount of exercise or dietary restrictions can alleviate this issue.  See below.

2) Weight gain

I lost about 8 - 10 lbs after the first 4 months of taking the pill but I've been steadily gaining weight since then.  In fact, I've surpassed the weight I was prior to starting Mononessa (> 10 lbs) despite a healthy diet and exercise.

3) Hair loss (from the scalp)

I had to get another cover for my shower drain because it was so bad."


"Side effects, a bit of fatigue passed after four days. Weight loss 30lbs. 24 pounds in three months. Combination with low carb diet and simple slow cardio walking. Weight  loss doc as my regular doc does not believe in weight loss medicine. Steady, level headed weight loss and better blood labs for me. Not a doctor but this is right up my alley. Money well spent for my good health no insurance coverage yet."


"Alesse 21 is the first birth control pill I've ever tried, so this might make the review a little biased, but I'm still going to share my experience and hope it helps other women out there. So during the first month it was kind of tough, especially since it was the first kind of birth control pill I've ever taken. I did not feel good emotionally. I had a quick-snap temper and it was taking a toll on my daily interactions (this was  about two weeks into first taking it) but now, it honestly doesn't affect me as much anymore. I never experienced any bad breakouts of acne, though I still have my occasional mood swing. In terms of period taking the pill definitely regulated my period and made it so much lighter than before."


"I had frequent intestinal distress (and I mean distress).  Janumet is a combination of Januvia and Metformin.  I switched to two pills, Januvia and Metformin ER.  ER stands for extended release.  It may cost more this way, but it eliminated the problem.  Those of you with a similar problem should talk to their doctor.  Most don't know that Janumet itself  used the immediate release Metformin....which causes intestinal distress in many users."


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


"diagnosed at 15 (now 18) 5'3 ft 226lb. first I took 500 mg twice a day, plus I had spirolactone . no side effects. no weight change. acne was clearing up!!!  was on dance team and did ballet. wasn't that depressed.

recently (about 2 months) 5'3ft 230lb. 850 mg twice a day, no spirolactone. Acne came back (worse than ever), a little weight gain, more depressed, doing yoga now (quit dance team and ballet) no side effects.

and I have to take iron pills twice daily."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I've never taken birth control before. I'm 24 and I got on it to try to stop sudden breakouts, I've been on Beyaz for only 6 days.. I can see my oily skin becoming noticeably less oily and shine free throughout the day, which I'm hoping will clear my face completely in the long run. As of now, my skin feels softer, less oily and seems to be clearing up. On the down side, I feel very, very tired. I'm on my last week of school taking finals and I regret not having waited until after finals because all I want to do is sleep. I do feel a little more irritable than usual but it's manageable."


"Had been sick for going on a month now, First round of antibiotics was Amoxicillin 875 for 5 days. It worked up until day 5 and then had one of the worst rebounds I have experienced in a while. I am only on day 2 and I haven't felt this clear in months. I am a bit paranoid about the tendon and muscle warnings since I play soccer so I simply won't be doing any strenuous activities for a while. Then again, I tend to freak out when the slightest thing happens to me so we'll just see.
You MUST drink lots of water with this Medicine.. it will surely dry you out. I was taking this with Allegra D 24 hour... and so far so good. Hopefully side effects won't be too bad if any at all. It does make you really tired though."


"I had severe anxiety, panic attacks...I worry all the time about everything, causing my blood pressure to skyrocket. I had been on blood pressure pills for 2 months but still having a heavy pressure in my chest/throat area, causing me to think I was having a heart attack.  Doctor prescribed Vistaril 25mg x 2 day for anxiety.  This helps me tremendously and I only have to take it once a day.  Hope this helps answer some questions someone might have."


"I am 41 years old and have been recently told that I have Multiple Sclerosis. I had 3 MRI's that confirmed it. My symptoms include tingling in my feet and right hand.  I am a runner and love to exercise. Getting ready to start taking Gilenya and am feeling very nervous about it."


"I had nexplanon for almost 2 years after having my son. It was great from 18 months or so with no bleeding but noticed lack of sex drive, mood swings, and extreme exhaustion with no ability to sleep at night. I had it taken out weeks ago bc I bled 3 wks out of the month for a few months with horrible breast tenderness and cramps like never before. I still have all the symptoms but shirt periods frequently instead of long ones. I can't say I wouldn't recommend bc everyone is different but I'm not ok with any extra hormones in my body anymore."


"It worked okay, but the half-life for me wasn't enough.  It seemed as soon as the Ativan wore off, the anxiety came back swinging.  "


"I just received this birth control a while ago. I didn't even get my period which was due in a couple days after. The only bad thing is that my back cramps and headaches have gotten worse but it may just be my PMS. I am not experiencing any of the other side effects yet. The insertion was only a little painful, but even the weakest of heart could handle it. I would recommended this for anyone who does not want anybody to find out that they are on birth control, and it is a sure thing that you will never miss a pill, or a shot."


"The first week I had some very brief agitation (day 4) that lasted for about 30 minutes.  By the end of the first week, my cravings were nearly gone.  I am down to only 1 to 3 uses per day, which is a major reduction for me.  I plan to be completely done by day 20.    No other side effects.  Not feeling any nicotine withdrawal symptoms.  I plan to use the Wellbutrin full strength for 1-2 weeks after quitting entirely and then begin the taper process.    Amazing product."


"Originally diagnosed with Glaucoma, had laser eye surgery but over the years eye pressures increased and prescribed Xalatan Latanoprost no significant problems. But when chemist swapped for a generic make 2 years ago I had problems feeling queasy, palpitations, waterworks weakness, generally not feeling well. Changed prescription immediately, back to Xalatan, no problem. This happened again yesterday, given generic Latanoprost and thought I would give it a further try, big mistake, terrible nights sleep and will be going back to pharmacist immediately for change back to Xalatan! But if I had a choice I would not take any of these drugs, all very powerful."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Joint pains Shortness of breath"


"Started taking this for chronic myofacial pain. At only 10 mg it's hard to notice a big difference in pain reduction but has definitely made it more tolerable. A little groggy at first and dry mouth but goes away within a few weeks. Absolutely no weight gain although I did feel early on I was really craving carbs. If you stay disciplined those cravings will go away . I haven't gained even 1lb and have been on it for over a year."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Started prep yesterday at 5:30 pm, drank 32oz of water and almost immediately the flood gates opened. It was violent and nonstop. Was pretty much stuck to toilet for three hours and then off and on for another hour or so. Was able to sleep until 5:30 am but had to run to bathroom and it exploded again. Started second prep and could only get about half down and couldn't do anymore without gagging and spitting out. I have cramping and exploding stools again. I hope the drug companies bring back the pill my mom took years ago. I won't do this again."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I was newly diagnosed December 2014. My CD4 count was 720 then dropped to 601 within 2 weeks. My viral load was at 37,450. I started Stribild February 19, 2015. My lab that was drawn March 13, 2015 showed my CD4 count at 840 and my viral load at 20. I have no side effects. I feel great. I'm able to work 2 jobs, go to school, and raise my kids. Hope it stays this good."


"In 1990 with DDD of L4, L5 & C3. I have a lot of sciatic pain, neck & back spasms my Ortho put me on Soma 350 2x/day. I had 2 disc fusions done (L5 & C3). I had to start going to P.M. in 1998, they put me on Morphine Sulfate 30 mg ER 2x/ day &  Soma 2x/day. Since 2008 I've been disabled, my body has been like a domino effect, I have Osteoarthritis throughout my body, DDD, Fibromyalgia, & Nephropathy all extremities so bad that I've been on the same meds, except both were 3x/day since 2011 up until less than 2 months ago, I had to change P.M. Dr & this Dr is trying to Kill me with a med called "Embeda." It has Naltrexone hydrochloride in it!!! DO NOT TAKE until you read all about it!! Along with No more Soma or any muscle relaxant."


"I've been taking Yaz for over a year now. I switched to it from Necon 1/35. I was interested in a lower dose over the long term. My anxiety decreased and blood sugar leveled. However, I improved my eating and exercise habits, so I cannot truly attribute the cause or cessation of any symptoms to either pill. Yaz must be taken at the same time daily or spotting may occur. I cannot attest to its ability to prevent pregnancy as I use other methods concurrently. I would continue on Yaz if it were not so expensive."


"I had a seizure which led to them finding a brain tumor. They put me on dexa in the ER and was on it for 2 months after the craniotomy to prevent brain swelling. Don't quite remember the dosing, it was a 1mg or 2mg pill I took 2 or 3 times a day.

I had insomnia (slept maybe 3 hours a night even on two percocet every 4 hours), painful acne all over my face and back, mood swings, crazy hunger and weight gain, erectile dysfunction, headaches and joint pain. I suppose it did what it was supposed to, but the side effects were horrible. Even if I had another tumor, I don't think I'd ever use it again."


"I started taking 10mg of Meridia 9 days ago. So far I have lost 6 pounds. As for side effects honestly I really can't say that I can even tell that I am taking the pill. The only thing that comes to mind is one night I had slightly strange taste in my mouth and was more thirsty than normal.  This pill really works. I feel more motivated to work out and eat healthy, (the $120 price tag may have something to do with that too). At dinner half way through my salad I'm full, I've honestly have had no problem resisting the temptations of Starbucks mochas and the large bowl of mini-candy bars at work. Something that would have been basically un-heard of before.  So 6lbs down 35ish more to go.. Wish me luck!"


"I started phentermine only 4 days ago and I have already lost 10 pounds. I didn't think it was possible to lose this much so quickly. I weighed myself on 3 different scales and they all said the same thing. 10 pounds in just 4 days! I am so excited to see what happens in the next week or so."


"I was on this medication for a few years and it worked wonders on my mood.  I can get moody very quickly and while taking this medication, mood swings were rare.  Unfortunately, I began suffering from body tremors and had to stop taking it.  My hands would shake uncontrollably and my head actually shook back and forth.  I didn't notice it but when I would talk to my sister, she would tell me that my head was rapidly shaking back and forth.  That is why I rated this a 9 instead of a 10."


"helps if u have and pain at all"


"I got my implant in April of 2015. My April, May, and June periods were normal but July came, and It was normal, but brown in the beginning and end, then two weeks after my period, I had brown discharge for about a week then it stopped, then August period was a little early and brown in the beginning and end, but then again 2 weeks later I had brown discharge for about a week. I don't want to take it out, first of all I don't need to get pregnant and second of all I don't have the money to get it out."


"Tamiflu made me so sick....I already had the flu and tamiflu made me vomit.  Terrible drug. Costly and so not worth it."


"I've had a migraine for 4 days straight and tried different medicines including Naproxen (which helps my mom's migraines), Exedrin Migraine, Advil, etc. Nothing provided ANY relief. This morning my doctor gave me Frova and a Dex shot. Within 45 mins my migraine, that's been plaguing me from the moment I wake up to the minute I go to bed, is finally gone. I am so happy I can now function again without the crippling pain that's forced me stay inside all week unable to move without my head throbbing. I am so grateful for this wonder-drug. I highly recommend it. Thanks Frova."


"I have been using Serzone and the generic versions for over 15 years now.  When the brand was pulled from the market, I tried Wellbutron, Celexa and Prozac.  All three had horrible side effects and I finally found a doctor who would prescribe me the generic of Serzone again.  This medication keeps me on an even keel, keeps the anxious thoughts from overwhelming me and helps me sleep at night.  My liver panels are always perfect and my only side effect is that I have to take it right before I go to bed as it makes me sleepy."


"Im going into hs, and my acne was getting pretty bad around my chin and forehead. It felt like every face wash did not work. My brother had been using epiduo and his face was clesring, so my doctor prescribed for me to give it a try. I was afraid id break out in hives and it would get bad from stories i read about proactive. After about 3 weeks, those cysts and hard acne disapeared . Follow the directions when it says once a day bc you dont want to irritate your skin. I to this day am using and havent gotten awful breakout since. I only get small whiteheads every once ina while. I feel like this product helped bc now i dont need to spend 50+ on facewash bc everything is fine as ling as i got my epiduo. Give it try and dont give up."


"Works much better than the oxy's for my arthritis.  I don't get such wicked side effects, either. The Opana winds me up but not nearly as much as the Oxycontins.  Also, the hot flashes are nowhere close to what they were."


"I've taken it twice and it has worked both times! I had horrible cramps both times, but it is worth it. dont second guess it, if you think you need it buy it. it should work"


"I never had problems with acne as a teenager or young adult. I'm 47 & I started getting terrible, very painful,  cystic acne about 6 months ago. It covered the entire surface of my chin & some around my nose & mouth. I was mortified & depressed cause of these horrific awful lesions on my face. I would do everything possible to avoid interaction with people, I hated going anywhere other than home & even at home it was hard to let my man look at me. I had no clue I had cystic acne. I thought it was just hormonal changes. I couldn't take it anymore, it wasn't going away no matter what I did. I went to the doctor & he put me on Minocin twice a day & within a week my face is 98% clear. I can hold my head up again with confidence."


"I've used this medication in the past and now recently for a bad throat infection, I was given the 5 day pack, after the first day (2 tablets) taken it started to feel better... And slowly it's been improving everyday. I did experience bad stomach side effects, diarrhea mainly, but I expected that since I wasn't eating well from the throat infection.  Took my last tablet today and I hope that it's gone but the symptoms have definitely improved. If you do get an upset stomach try to take it with food.  Good medication all in all though."


"Definitely improving my life. I'm less stressed at work and life with the kids is easier.  Some social settings (crowds) still bothersome, but I'm getting there. One of the pages I read warned about caffeine intake, they weren't kidding. I cut out caffeine and it lessened my mood swings.  Please read about interactions with other medicines when you start something new, it makes a difference!"


"I had some discomfort for about 3 days then the thick discharge and I knew I had a yeast infection. When I left work at 11 I went and bought this medication it did make the burning and itching a little worse after about 30 minutes of using it I went to bed at 12 and when I woke up at 8:30 the next morning there was no itching or burning just some discharge from the medicine working its way out of my body. Great product really."


"This is the worst cramping I have ever experienced. After taking one pill and waiting six hours or so I had a good 15-20 minutes of harsh cramping before the pill relieved any of my symptoms. Even after, I feel nauseous and I still have cramps. "


"I've been using this medication for nearly 3 months now and I had under skin acne or blackheads I tried deep cleansing for a year and many other medications I tried retin-a and it removed my under skin blackheads but made my skin red .. After I used this pill it actually worked really well at least until now.  I recommend this as it made my skin better. But I don't know if I stop taking it my acne will come back or not. And the beautiful thing about this medication is that u don't have to worry about your skin anymore because its clear"


"I have experienced depression for years now and nothing seemed to work or I would get all of the side affects. A few weeks ago my Dr prescribed Abilify and wow, it works. I am taking 5mg a day currently. I say give it a try. It improved my mood my depression. After a few days. It has given me a better quality of life with my 10 yr old son. It has pulled me out of the dark . I hope it keeps working."


"I had the side effects listed. The doctor said it was serum sickness. However the medicine did not keep the platelets up for long. My last comment is the medicine is quite costly. "


"Yes it helped a lot and i love the fact that i can concentrate now because before i couldn't concentrate at all. The thing is that after a few hours, i start to feel really depressed and really emotionnal but i love the fact that i can express myself better now."


"I've had sleep issues my whole life and had just sort of dealt with it.  I finally spoke with a Dr. about it and was prescribed Lunesta.  Over a couple of weeks, taking it ~3 nights a week, I was sleeping better for the most part. Then, my emotions started going haywire.  I was quick to anger and feeling paranoid.  I was convinced my wife was having an affair (she wasn't) and had multiple outbursts.  I have never been on any sort of medication for a period of time, so I didn't think to blame the Lunesta.  I stopped taking it and the crazy emotions have stopped."


"I was on Zoladex for nearly 2 years and I recently had to stop because my doctor chose to take me off. I absolutely loved it! No period for almost 2 years! I had hot flashes and have a scar on my stomach from the injections, but it was totally worth it. My periods have finally come back and I wish I were still on this miracle medicine."


"I went on this medicine for birth control. When I first started it I only got pimples the week of my period, I had really bad cramps(to the point I threw up every month), and I was really fit.
Fast forward 6 months- my face breaks out all the time and is never clear (no matter how much I wash it), the cramps got better, and I gained 10 lbs all in my mid area. This medicine did make my boobs become fuller and my period was on time every month.
This medicine also made me VERY moody and I cried over the smallest things almost every day. The weight gain + countless emotional breakdowns/anxiety attacks were way too overwhelming for me so I just switched to a different BC!"


"I was hoping that it would help with the itching from psoriasis but I got very little to no relief.  I took it at night like the directions instructed but I still could not get a good night sleep and during the day I still had severe itching."


"I have been taking Klonopin for MANY years. I started having weird feelings, like I was going to die, I kept ending up in the ER. The doctors kept telling me it was Anxiety. I DIDN'T understand why anxiety would make me feel this way. When the Anxiety would kick in, I literally thought I was dying. My heart would race, my body would get tingles and I would feel chokingness. It was scary and still is. I have tried many, many anxiety medicines, Paxil, Effexor, Xanax, Lamictal, Geodon, and many more. NONE have worked the way Klonopin works. With Klonopin I feel safe and I do not get the jittery feelings. I am so grateful to have a medication that actually works for me. If I miss a dose I will get severe anxiety and a panic attack."


"this product was horrible.  had a bad reaction, a huge rash on my back and soon painful. do not use it"


"My doctor prescribed Cymbalta to combat the neuropathy in my feet and legs. Note: the first few months were great. The pain and tingles in my feet and legs went away and so did my depression! BUT After a few months, I began to get odd thoughts, manic, not characteristic of me. I told my doctor, who missed the signs. Two months after that, I began impulsive buying from an auction site. It got worse and worse, spending money I did not have, borrowing money from my paycheck and from relatives. Finally someone intervened. They recognized it was uncharacteristic and figured out it was the Cymbalta. I had to go through physical and psychological withdrawals."


"I started taking Trazadone 50mg after being diagnosed with depression and anxiety plus insomnia in January. I have been seeing my GP for four years on and off with insomnia and twice a year would leave the surgery with a few diazepam for a couple of nights sleep. Then an epiphany moment came whilst reading a magazine, my insomnia was caused by the menopause! Trundled back to my GP who did blood tests which established that although young at 43 I was in fact well and truly into the menopause. My Trazadone dose went from 50 to 100mg and then to 150mg at bedtime. I have been taking this dose now for six months and have not noticed any improvement in my sleep. I constantly wake between 3 and 4am every night unless I take one Lorazepam tablet?"


"Hi, this is an updated experience.

I have now been on Vraylar for just under 2 months.

Once the side effects (PAIN!!! Lack of sleep, blurred vision) wore off, it really became a miracle. Even other people notice a difference.

I did have to increase my dose, which caused severe tiredness and restlessness for a few days, but all in all it wasn't horrible. If you've been on stuff like Geodon, the tiredness isn't even comparable, but definitely tired.

My biggest issue is the weight gain. I have BED on top of Bipolar and this has made my BED rear it's ugly head BAD. But, my doctor wants me to keep with the meds because he feels it's a side effect that will wear off.

Overall, very happy with my improvement."


"I had a very oily Itchy scalp that was covered in yellow gunk that Shampoo would not remove. I tried nizoral which was fantastic at shifting the gunk and oil but four months later has done nothing for the itching. So I don't really know if it's seborrheic dermatitis anymore....!! It's slowly losing its effectiveness as times gone on. I don't think that Shampoo alone will fix any scalp condition, it's a holistic whole body approach that's needed."


"Today was my first day on mydayis 50mg. I was taking vyvanse 50mg but it was only helping for about 4-5 hours then wearing off. Today I could really tell the difference in my concentration/ focus and my energy; it was much better. I did however feel tired about an hour to two hrs after taking it but then got  motivation after that for the remainder of the day. Like I said my focus was better I wasn’t running around my house like a crazy woman starting a ton of tasks and finishing none. I was able to get things accomplished pretty easily today. I am remaining hopeful that mydayis will continue to work for me."


"I've been taking Cymbalta 30mg for almost 2 weeks now for depression and anxiety. My doctor said this is a very low dose which is why I feel only a minor improvement. Before this, I have taken Prozac, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, Trazodone, Buspar, Paxil, and several others. With all of them, they either had no effect or made me feel worse. Plus their side effects ranged anywhere from inconvenient to nearly debilitating. Cymbalta is the first medicine that I haven't suffered from any side effects at all. The next time I meet with my doctor, I'm going to see if she will increase my dosage."


"This is my third time just now putting it back in . I’ve never gained weight and have never experienced any side affects listed . I have no periods for the first two years and then the last year I start to gradually get a cycle here and there . A few months before I get It out the cycles become more frequent in a month time
My menstruation can be heavy or light at times . No consistency near the end . It affects everyone different . This is my experience and I love It and it’s overall a cheaper way to go"


"I get migraines every day. Been taking 2.5 mg of Norvasc for about 6 months and still getting migraines everyday. Does not seem to be helping."


"Been on this for 6 months and plan and changing to a different one. My acne is ten times worse then it ever has been and I get moody/sad crying spells where all I can do is cry for no reason."


"It didn't do anything for me!"


"My cvs decided to switch my normal brand tri-sprintec to tri-estraylla. I had been on tri-sprintec for years with no issues whatsoever. At first i thought everything was going fine but by month 3 it got horrible. my period was heavy and horrible. i was in severe pain and i had so many heavy clots i thought i had a miscarriage. after this eventually subsided i had breakthrough bleeding, heavy and light, which has continued and is still going on even now. this has been 3 full weeks or more. its insane. it has ruined a lot of really good clothes because you wouldn't know when it was going to come and bam there it is. it has really put a damper on my sex life! totally disgusted. so i'm forcing CVS to order my original pills because i am done!"


"I love this birth control! I previously had the implanon bc in my arm, and it caused really bad acne and I always had really bad cramps even though I didn't have a period. I've been on zarah for about 3 months no and the only complaint is that I get weird cramps occasionally. Other than that my skin is completely clear (and I've struggled with acne for a few years now), my sex drive has actually increased, and I haven't gained any weight. I've always been moody around my period so idk if it's affected that much because it's always different. Overall I definitely recommend!!"


"I have been on the nuvaring for 3 months and have had a great experience.  For the first month I did have more mood swings and increased anxiety/depression, however I was in a bad situation so I think it just amplified it. Since then my body has adjusted and now my mental state is back where it was before. It can be tricky to insert but got better after some practice. I love not having to remember to take a pill every day, and although I get a bit of spotting before my period I do have a lighter flow and for only 4 days instead of 7. I don't have hormonal breakouts before my period and haven't had any issues with leaving it in during sex."


"I figured that this would be the best choice of birth control due to the fact I've tryed everything else and nothing really seemed to work. Ive had it in my arm for 1 year already after having my 2nd child. At first it was great my periods completely stoped. And I didn't have to remember to take birth control cause it was already in my arm. I've always been very outgoing which I still am but I have developed severe anxiety, and a bit of depression. Ive also develeped having insomnia I barely sleep at night and so tired that I just crash and I've always have been so active . I've also have gained 30 lbs. But the worst of it all no sex drive completely GONE."


"Lord have mercy! I never expected that a drug could have a life changing impact on my life. I have struggled with social anxiety all my life and have usually avoided any situation that would require me speaking, even amongst friends. Recently my job requires me to make presentations all over the country. This should be good news to any normal person right? WRONG! Its been a nightmare for me and I've even contemplated resigning.I was desperate and turned to google and my destiny to stumble upon propranolol. I read all the reviews yesterday and immediately got a prescription from my doc. I went into my presentation this morning feeling confident but a little cautious and It was flawless; no increased heart no difficulty breathing.Thank you Prop!!!"


"I had unprotected sex on July 3rd and my partner and I used the pull out method. He didn't know if he pulled out quick enough so I knew I could be in deep trouble. I took plan b 16 hours after the incident. From my period tracker that I have on my phone I was said to be ovulating on that day. I have been worried sick ever since I took the pill because it's said not to work during ovulation/post ovulation. Fortunately, I got my period today, July 12th. It was a few days early so it did mess up my cycle a bit. I also had some side effects like cramping and fatigue. I am so relieved and I can say that this pill works for sure. Just try to calm yourself the best you can and wait for your period."


"I was hoping this medicine would help with my anxiety and depression but it made me feel terrible. I took my 1st dose at night, low dose of 7.5 then again in the morning...about an hour later.....I was so dizzy,almost fainted. My husband was wondering what was wrong with me. I lay down in my bed and stayed there till all these feelings went away. Didn't work for me!"


"I tried this med as a last resort. I had already tried birth control, Prozac and then a hysterectomy. I went to a new doctor desperate to find anything that would help. The mood swings, hopelessness, anger and lack of interest was interfering in my home and work life. I have been suffering for years and it was only getting worse. She suggested trying this medication in combination with a low dose hormone supplement. It has worked wonders! I am taking the 100mg dosage and I haven't had any side effects. I am 5 days past the time my PMDD should be starting up and feeling great!!!"


"Do not take this pill."


"I've had HSV1 ever since I was 2. I had an outbreak then and again when I was 9 or 10. I'd forgotten that I even had the virus until a week ago. I got a new lip piercing and 3 days into the healing, my lip blistered. It had been 25 years since my last cold sore but I remembered what those blisters meant. I wasn't able to get to the doctor until two days later. By then, the blisters had broken open and were all crusted over. I took 2 of the Valtrex as soon as I got them and another 2, 12 hours later. Within a few hours the pain started going away. The terrible burning was gone. It's been 2 days since my last dose and my cold sore is in it's final healing stage. With the little scabs. My lip is flat again & the only pain is from the piercing."


"I rated this based on how the medicine worked in the beginning. HOWEVER over time my symptoms became worse, would happen during the day, and I had to take the medication around 6pm to be effective by 10pm.

I am now on a low dose of Tylenol 3 that I take 30 minutes before bed. In the three months I have been on this regimine, my daytime symptoms have disappeared. I have not had to increase dosage or felt the need to take the medicine at bedtime (major concern of Drs is becoming addicted to anything with codeine/ opiate).

Also tried gabapentin. It was a nightmare."


"After being on Ambien for years, at least years, for sleep, I decided I hated the mental fog.  My doctor prescribed Remeron. After several months of weight gain, I decided I had to lose the weight. I'm 6'5" and I went from 310 LBs to 360 LBs in a matter of three months. Crazy, I know!
What I couldn't figure out was why I had an insatiable hunger. How bad was it? Usually, when I go out for wings, I order a ten piece. If I share an appetizer, I only eat 4; take 6 home for the next day. A few weeks ago, even after sharing an appetizer, I ate all ten wings, and when I got home I ate my wife's leftovers! So I ran out of Remeron and didn't get it refilled. After four days of being off it, my appetite is normal. Awful RX!!!"


"I began taking Topamax about a year ago after suffering from weekly migraines since age 15. I increased the dose to 200mg a day before it seemed to be a therapeutic dose for me. My migraines reduced a lot for a long time but I also do not drink alcohol, caffeine, or eat chocolate, cheese. The last few weeks my migraines are back with great intensity. One lasted 4 days. So I will be going back to my doctor. Topamax did not affect my appetite at all. I get occasional tingling."


"I take this as needed for anxious situations: i.e. the dentist (I would flee from the office crying if not for the Xanax), being around large crowds of people, etc.   It certainly takes off the edge that accompanies anxiety and helps me to be in situations that I normally couldn't.  It seems to take 45 mins to an hour to kick in so I am proactive in taking it to be prepared.  It's been a great help to get me to certain places and be able live life."


"A year ago I was given Dexilant on a trial basis after being diagnosed with Barretts.  I immediately had relief for GERD.  My only issue now is that I have had some chest pains that could mimic a heart attack.  I actually went to the ER a month ago to get checked out.  My EKG and heart was normal .  Now last night I experienced the same situation where the chest pain would come for about 5 seconds and subside for 10 minutes or so.  Very disconcerting. I am sleeping better at night and feel much less nausea than before Dexilant."


"My experience with Xyrem started about 12 years ago.  The first few months where very hard.  If I moved after taking it, I would vomit.  The headaches were almost unbearable and I lost weight, but after the first few months and 12 years later, the only side effects I have now are night sweats and I can keep that in control if I drink enough water throughout the day.  I can't even remember my life before Xyrem but I know that it gave me my life back."


"I started a clean diet a day in a half prior to the procedure. I then made the solution and refrigerated it that morning. I sucked on a lemon slice and then drank the stuff for 4 times every 15 minutes. When finished it took about an additional hour and 15 to start. No problems, worked fine.
The trick clear liquids a day and a half prior.
 Happy squatting to all, and use flushable wipes and end with toilet paper to dry."


"As a person who took Nexplanon for all three years, yeah it was hell my arm we terrible I was always in pain. It felt like I was pregnant all 3 years, I was experiencing pain in my veins its like I didn't have good circulation at all. My arms puffed out and cause stretch marks and yeah I went from 170 to 250 and after taking this implant off my arm I lost weight I am not tired, yet its been three week and I still haven't had my period. I suffer from depression and lots of anxiety mood swings and yes the implant did make it worst... a lot worst to where I had to fill my whole medicine cubby with a lot of meds. But it does work I will tell you that, the only thing that really bothered me was the mood swings and constant yeast infections."


"I am 31 and got my second IUD after having the first for 5 years and using the ring for the 2 years after removal. I praised the IUD to anyone who would listen and recommended it without hesitation. That is until I got the second one. I have had it for just over two weeks and discussed having it removed with my husband today. I don't have mood swings, my mood is stuck on grumpy. My feet and hands are swollen with achy joints, tender breasts and lower back pain. The only pro at this point to keep it is the cost efficiency and the zero maintenance for 5 years. However if something doesn't change quick there is no possible way my marriage could handle 5 years of my mood."


"This is a miracle for migraines. Works within 5 minutes and migraine GONE. You will have energy and get on with your day. I am 43 yrs old and have suffered with migraines since teen. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN TO YOUR DR AND ASK FOR THIS MEDICINE. SUFFER NO MORE."


"48 year old male in the health care industry.  Resisted any idea that I might need something for depression as I was really good about thinking about suicide, but never acting out or letting others know.  Tended to obsess over family relationships or work issues, everyday from waking to going to sleep.  Also suffer from a type of IBS and have smooth muscle contraction in the large bowl that created intense pain 2-3 days per month and a trip to the Emergency department every year or two.
Started Paxil and noticed immediate decrease in fixation type thoughts, have not had a pain episode for the last 8 months (first time in my life!).
I'm a bit less reserved in conversations, and share more of myself with those around me. Overall a good decision."


"Worked so fast that before I left office I felt better"


"I have had many years with pain. A combination of 3 drugs is a God send. I take 50 mg Oxycontin twice a day, 500 mg of Ketoprofen twice a day and 100 mg Tramadol twice a day. This rather strange combination has worked for me for 10 years without any problems or without having to increase the medication."


"After taking levothyroxine for 20 days, I developed rashes all over my body, extremely itchy. Skin biopsy confirmed its drug allergy and levothyroxine was the only drug I was taking at that time. It was lechinoid drug eruption which took me 2 months to come out of it."


"Ok, I felt better two days in to treatment. Then, a week in, I am calm. Two weeks in, still calm. Just even. Finally. I've struggled with rapid heartbeats, sweating, panic, fear, talking too fast, gasping for breath because I have so much anxiety, and just a general uncomfortable feeling my whole life. Of course Xanax and meds like that worked, but when they wore off the anxiety would come back worse. This drug Prozac? Like, why didn't I try it earlier. I've been on many other antidepressants and only Cymbalta came close. On 20 mg and my headaches and muscle tension are also reduced. I hope this lasts. The only side effects: early waking, and waking up a few times at night, but I just take some Benadryl and I sleep through the night"


"Excellent!  My doctor has combined this with Phentermine and I average a healthy 1.75 lbs of weight loss per week without excercise (due to pulled hamstrings).  I do not take the Phentermine full dose, nor do I take it every day.  My doctor follows me closely and I pay close attention to how I feel and go by instinct.  My overall health and well being is more important than losing weight.  I am very cautious and choose the right foods e.g., protiens, green veggies, lots of water, fruits and fiber.  I am sure to get proper rest to stay mentally sound.  Losing weight is good for me, but is taxing on my body and I am going to do what I have to in order to develop healthy long term habits (which take at least 30 days to develop)."


"Had unprotected sex July 3, freaked out and took Plan B 26 hours after sex. I experienced a lot of discharge and was worried since I hadn't gotten my period. I was cramping, having back pains and was moody... I started to get really worried. Then 8 days after taking Plan B I finally got my period! Stay calm & stay positive. I was so stressed about it I was prolonging my period, Plan B worked 100% for me and I'm so happy that it helped."


"I'm on my second pack of LoSeasonique, about five or six weeks away from my first "real" period on this BC. For the past few days I've been experiencing brownish discharge (from blood) and moderate cramping. Other than that, no complaints really. The pill didn't clear up my skin but neither did my other one. I really hope this cramping stops now though, it's very painful. Enough that I can't go out much. I've heard that it gets better once your body has adjusted but I don't know how long that will take."


"I am experiencing severe gas and loose bowels. Everytime I eat something it seems to run right through me. Also increased urination. Stomach cramps so this is a battle lower my cholesterol or be on the toilet everytime I eat!"


"Positives:
1. Regulates my period VERY well.  Always happens the middle of the last week of the pack until the end of the pack (about 4 days).
2. Lighter periods.
3. Not pregnant.

Negatives:
1. REALLY nauseous the day after taking the first pill in every pack.  Like, super duper nauseous for about the first 8 hours of the day.  Feels horrible.
2. Constant yeast infections.  I have had 4 in the past 4 months, because of the estrogen in this BC.  Might happen on any Estrogen BC, but be aware.
3. Debilitating calf cramps at night.  Super painful and last about 5 minutes, they wake me up every time.
4. Jumping at every little noise.

Been on this for 4 months, appointment tomorrow with gyno to switch"


"I have taken this medicine for about six months now.  It has been such a life changer for me! I was on depakote as a mood stabilizer for my not terribly severe bipolar disorder. Depakote caused weight gain. Since I have been on Trileptal, I have lost 30lbs and feel great.  I am just about to start my student teaching in college and I am more confident than ever that I will succeed with flying colors."


"In addition to Complex Regional Pain Syndrome I suffer from constant pain in my hip, femur and knee, L-4,5 disk herniations, spinal stenosis, spondylosis to start. I was thrown from a car as a passenger without seatbealts fracturing my hip, femur and my right foot pointed South. My experience taking Oxymorphone is an excellent one.  I recommend it to anyone seriously looking for pain relief. I take 30 mg Oxymorphone ER X 2, Ketamine Hcl(compounded for $125 a month) 10 mg X 3 and Oxycodone 30 mg X 4 for Bt pain. Oxymorphone is the best ER opioid for 9-10 hour relief I have taken. Tried them all. If looking for pain relief, Oxymorphone is the best by a mile, hydromorphone is a distant second."


"Medication made me depressed easily over nothing never was one for mood swings also it was a constant struggle to stay awake period went from super tampons to ultra tampons acne for the first time in my life after I decided to get off of it and worst of all it made sexual sensitivity numb to any stimulation so glad to be off of this garbage..."


"I was having terrible back pain and chronic all over pain when I started Lyrica. It has helped me a lot but I still have the occasional flare up. I also take Neurontin with Lyrica and this combination does a pretty decent job of helping with my pain. I have tried Cymbalta and had a horrible 3 days of dizziness that almost caused me to hit a parked car. I was trying to suck it up and go to work but ended up on the couch the entire time because every time I sat up the world spun and I felt so disoriented and off balance like I had been drinking. I am very skeptical to try anything else because of the Cymbalta episode."


"It worked very well for me, but beware of not eating enough before taking. I threw up quite a bit. "


"I have tried almost every med. there is for major depression. Most caused lots of weight gain and sleeping all the time. I felt hot and sweat with many of them and vision was very blurry. I thought life was over for me. I have major anxiety and panic attacks. I was better taking the Buspirone, but I was taking bupropion anxiety attacks. I take clonazapam 2mg for sleeping at night because the welbrution keeps me from sleeping. I went on praying for being healed from all the sickness and came off all my meds 2 months ago to prove my faith. I haven't been able to walk out my door for 2 months without forcing myself just to go get groceries and then I am right back inside. I live in darkness. I started them back up this morning."


"I had first Prolia injection November 2016. Within a few weeks I gained 10 lbs very rapidly but put it down to changing time of taking Prednisolone meds that I am on long term for Polymyalgia. I had 2nd injection May 2017 and I can only say that since then I feel like I've been run over by a bus !! Bad insomnia, fatigue, neck pain, pain in upper legs and upper arms. Also numbness in face which is very annoying especially near eye as it feels like something is too close to my eye ! I will not take this drug again and am mad at myself that I did not check out the side effects before hand.  I took the word of my consultant that it was the greatest thing !"


"I am 56 years old and have been diagnosed with severe emphysema. Up until 3 days ago I was at the point that inhalers were not doing much good at all and I was overusing them and having heart palpitations and the only thing that helped was my nebulizer. But even that did not produce great results and I felt limited in everything that I did. I was fearful to take my grandchild anywhere by myself and quite frankly was fearful of going alone anywhere due to my breathing. My pulmonologist put me on this medicine 3 days ago and what a huge difference it made in my breathing. I have not had to do breathing treatments or inhalers from the time of my first dose.  This medicine has been a huge blessing and life changing for me also."


"Prescibed Bactrim for prostatitis. Was showing good improvement after 5 days.  Day 9, big full body hives develop and had to stop.  Dr. thought I was allergic to the sulfa component of bactrim so he prescibed Trimethoprim(the other component in Bactrim) by itself a week later. After 1 pill the hives start again... Was switched to Cipro with slight improvement and then to Doxycycline which is significantly helping after 4 weeks. Going to continue it as long as I'm improving . 70% better now."


"I had no unpleasant side effects on this medication, bar the cystic acne it caused!

Very good in the sense that you don't have to remember to take a pill etc. but unfortunately for me, it caused very bad acne. Once I had it removed, it was approx. 2 weeks before my skin had totally cleared up."


"I would only recommend this birth control to someone that is trying to sleep with my boyfriend-because it made me bloated, bleed constantly for 2 months, back aches (complete period symptoms non stop for 2 months), and gain weight- huge turn offs to anyone.  I am in so much bodily discomfort and have been bleeding for so long now it is definitely preventing pregnancy.  I cannot wait to switch to another form of birth control.  It feels like a combination of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and being pregnant."


"I have been on Paxil for 3 weeks. Previously I was on Lexapro and it worked well, however, I wanted to quit smoking, so was switched to Paxil.  I have noticed I am sleeping all night through without getting up at 2 or 3 am and staying up the rest of the night. I do however have the vertigo, but, I have suffered from vertigo for 20 years so I cannot actually attribute that to the Paxil. I also have the appetite loss! I can only eat 1/3 of what I ate previously. So far, so good. I have no problem taking a med for my depression, no different than a heart condition, just much harder to treat!  Hoping it keeps going good!"


"I used Lutera for just about 3-4 months, and loved it.  No real side effects, switched to it from Ortho tri Lo.  Didn't seem so hungry after I made the switch.  After about 3-4 months I switched to Nuva Ring for ease of use.  Just now starting the ring, and if it goes poorly I would happily go back to Lutera."


"I've had Nexplanon for 6 months....VERY effective at preventing pregnancy but have been experiencing terrible side effects. Major weight gain, unpredictable bleeding, acne, worsening depression and zero sex drive. Getting it removed this month. Do not recommend!"


"Please read!!! Presccribed macrobid 100mg for bladder infection. Took the first dose at 5pm after a full meal (on the advise of my Dr who warned slight stomach irritation) around 2 am I woke up vomitting yellow bile which lasted for several hours. I was shaking and sweating and couldn't even keep water down. I'm on my 4th dose and symptoms are subsiding..I  feel like I'm going to vomit, have a headache and am extremely dizzy. Please be careful when taking this its like a flu in pill form!"


"Soon to be 51 and had the mirena inserted 7 years ago for endometrial hyperplasia. My Dr (whom I love) said it would likely make my periods stop (hurray) and would protect my uterus.
Well it DID NOT make my periods stop - and it took well over two years for me to start feeling "normal". I have had pH issues and flares of Bacterial Vaginosis ever since.  I've tried everything on the market for it only to be told by my Dr to "use Luvena" every time I brought it up during my annual. Anyway, I stuck it out the entire seven years and am due to have it removed in a few weeks. I honestly cannot wait. I've always been very sensitive to progesterone- too much makes me feel like a depressed lead balloon."


"First insert of Monistat 3 was horrible. The burn was worse than the infection, but I continued use. By day 2 burning and itching was gone."


"Taking Topamax with Zoloft ... my first week was a tough but I feel so good. I have PTS, bipolar, depression, anxiety and in the 4 months I had three episodes and that's so good I was having episodes everyday. I feel good."


"I have been on Victoza for four weeks now. My sugar counts were up to 27.9. doctor put my metformin up to four pills a day and on this great new medicine Victoza. I have lost 8 pounds. Started with 0.6 and then when I went up to 1.2. had felt really tired and had stayed in bed for a day. Doctor put me back to 0.6. but eventually I went back up to 1.2 and then the only side effect I had was burps and gas. Have a lot more energy then I have had in years."


"I took this medication for a week and although it did help with my blood pressure it made me very confused and light headed.  I got so bad that I stopped taking the medicine and called my doctor for a different type of medication.  Just wasn't for me I guess."


"I was against taking this medication until my flare-ups were so bad I was not able to walk or use my arm.
I am so grateful for this medication. I just had my 3rd dose (every other week). Other than the extreme pain during the shot and a bit unsettled for about 10 minutes after, I say this medication is a miracle.  I am 99.75% pain free ~ the first time in over a year.  So far no side effects other than very thirsty.  Cutting down on coffee and have increased my water intake.  I worry about possible future side effects but not being able to move is not living."


"I have suffered with an incurable rare spinal cord injury. I first tried Oxycontin in December 2010. Little did I know that they were taking the generics off the shelves. The medicine worked great.The new oxy op is very expensive and  not of the same release time. How are people going to afford this?"


"Was prescribed this medication by new cardiologist while hospitalized to help with spasms associated with Prinzmetal's (variant) angina. So far I feel a difference in my condition, but will form a more solid opinion when I'm on Imdur a bit longer."


"I love Apri! I took it for a year, then I got selfish and switched to Jolessa because I wanted to have fewer periods. On Jolessa I had week-long or longer, super irregular periods. I would get breakthrough bleeding at the most random times and gained about 15 pounds. It almost destroyed my relationship, I was so moody and depressed. I switched back to Apri in January and already my periods are back to regular, predictable and short. I have had almost no breakthrough bleeding, no weight gain and no problem with weight gain. It's an incredibly effective and beneficial pill."


Chlorpheniramine / dextromethorphan / phenylephrine

"I use this product with my 5 year old daughter and my 2 year old grandson also my 8 month old daughter and I have NO complaints. I find this medicine works fast and good!"


"I have had MS awhile, DX in 2000. I have taken interferon,tecfidera and controlled. I decided to try Gilenya this summer,a month in I started getting numbness under both feet. I had never experienced anything like this before. Medicine was the only change.It got so severe both feet were completely numb. It felt like i had pads under my feet.After trying oral and iv steroids no improvement i was so frustrated and didnt know what to do. No new activity on myMRI. Because numbness can also be associated with MS this can be confusing. I had no other choice but to stop Gilenya to see if that was causing it. Funny enough after 6 days into stopping it the sensation started coming back under my feet and 70% better. Now it's almost gone!"


"I had severe vomiting and diarhoea for 3 days caused by clarythromycin. After being treated for dehydration at the hospital, clarythormycin was replaced with doxycycline, and I have no problems since."


"Great natural medicine however it must be taken everyday to be effective."


"Works well with chronic back pain. Had L5-S1 fusion and now in diagnosis to rule out L3-L4 rostral disease. Lowers pain from 7/10 to 3/10. Doesn't work as well as Percocet but at least I don't hallucinate on it. I also don't like the "high" that Percocet produces and that effect is much less prevalent on Norco, thankfully."


"I was put on 25mg once daily a little over a year ago and it seemed to work wonders for a good while. Due to some other issues though we increased my dose to 100mg a day and I am pretty much tired most of the day, but at least I can walk up stairs and not pass out or my heart doesn't feel like it will leap out of my chest... kind of the price to pay not to deal with the SVT. Hoping the tiredness wears off soon."


"I've suffered from chronic sinusitis and post nasal drip for a while now. Biaxin is the only drug which worked for me, my PND started decreasing after one day and my nasal passages were completely clear by day 4. As for side effects it increased my appetite and sent me to the bathroom more often than usual. As for the nausea and metallic taste in mouth that most people reported, that only occurred on my last day of treatment thankfully. It's a small price to pay for the relief I got however."


"I have had headaches/migraines for 20 years and this is the first medicine I have tried that takes the headache away. It goes away in between one and three hours.  This is definitely a miracle for me.  "


"I've had this IUD in for about two weeks now. The insertion process was pretty uncomfortable, but there were only about 3 big cramps that just felt like bad period cramps. The entire process took about 5 minutes and I was able to get up and drive myself home immediately after. I took 3 Ibuprofen prior to coming in and that helped keep the cramps at bay for a while, but you will experience cramps for the first couple of days. They just feel like period cramps, no worse. The only negative thing I've noticed so far is an increase in acne where my skin was pretty clear beforehand especially around my chin and I've also been getting headaches every day since I've had the IUD inserted. Will update in 2 more weeks."


"I do not like it. Mood swings, lots of bleeding, weight gain and no sex drive."


"Doctor recommended Azor after finding blood pressure was 180/120, brought it down to 120/80 in a couple of days. Took a few days to get accustomed to effects but feel 100% back to normal now."


"Trulicity has the absolute worst delivery system of any injectable I have ever taken. I have used it twice and both times I have no idea how much of the medicine actually gets in my body. When I pull away the injection apparatus it seems that the majority of the medication is dripping down my stomach from the injection site. Do you know how expensive this drug is to have it not go in my system? ......and I can't take another CAUSE I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE FIRST DOSE WENT IN!!!!!"


"After my second baby, I was having problems with pain during sex (9 months  to a year post partum). My doctor prescribed the nuvaring to treat that issue as well as provide some birth control. The first two weeks I had this in were a dream! No side effects, nothing negative. After that I was so nauseous I was constantly  taking zofran and reglan and could barely function. After 6 weeks I had lost 10 pounds and decided to take it out. I wish it wouldn't have been so bad or I would have stuck it out."


"Major nasal congestion and outbreaks in hives it's not worth it."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I just had this to prep for my screening colonoscopy - it worked as expected - gently cleansed bowels through the 2 step process. My only complaint is the price $120 which is not covered by insurance at all. Hence the rating of 7, else for effectiveness this is 9."


"Causes short term memory loss."


"Prescribed by ER doc for bladder infection. It's giving me dry mouth, diarrhea and bad gas but it's tolerable. Drink lots of water right after you take it."


"I am on flagyl 500mg 3X a day. I have a severe case of colitis and was RX'd this and Cipro 500mg 2X a day. The flagyl is so rough on me. It makes my stomach hurt so badly, as if I had pancreatitis.  I also started running a temperature and felt like I had bronchial pneumonia. I am very limited on the antibiotics I can take due to allergies. I won't take this antibiotic again unless I'm in dire straights. I can't take levaquin because it causes me to get pancreatitis and tendinitis. I've read that flagyl gets rid of parasites. I hope if I have them that they're gone after taking the flagyl 3X a day for 10 days......"


"I was prescribed Buspar a few months ago after consistent failures with various benzos. I took 10mg x day for a while and felt nothing, went up to 20mg x day and kind of felt something, and basically I am now on 40mg x day and I can finally feel it working. It has helped significantly with my anxiety and has relieved the sexual side effects from Prozac. I take my second dose of the day at night with my Trazodone, and it has completely eradicated my fluctuating tolerancy issues with the Trazodone. I never got the brain zaps, but I occasionally get long-lasting headaches, bouts of anger, and fairly awful nightmares. Other than that, it has helped with my GAD quite a bit and is generally more helpful than not."


"My dad age 68 has hep c for years, was dealing with cirrhosis of the liver after alcohol issues and dr gave him Harvoni. Please be careful Dr's are not always taking into account if the liver is strong enough when prescribing these meds. Wish I could turn back time and keep my dad from taking it."


"I have been using this for approximately 2 years now and I am very worried that it has made my eyes MUCH worse.... I have just gotten done reading the other reviews and I am the complete opposite of these others. Therefore, I read the list of possible but not likely side effects and I am experiencing each and every one of these symptoms every time I use this medicine. Today, I used my restasis and then went venturing with my family for a few hours and my right eye began to secrete the yelowish thick fluid and burn worse than ever before. It also started to swell at the far corner of my eye. I went to the local emergency room where I was informed that I have conjunctivitis  in my right eye and now have to use antibiotics and pain meds"


"I was treated for years with Bipolar 2  disorder using various ant-depressants. They all made my moods cycle up and down. I'm now on Lamotrigine 300mg twice a day and feel better than I have in 20 years.I'm 66 now. I had to start slow and gradually work up to my present dosage. It was definitely effective for me to do it this way."

"I got a second opinion from an OB GYN, I am 32 weeks pregnant, and for most of the pregnancy, I have felt full, tight and bloated.  About 6 weeks ago, I called the midwife I have been seeing and told her how I have been feeling, but she told me that was just part of being pregnant.  Well, yes, but not to this extreme.  I feel so full and tight after I eat, that I didn't look forward to eating, I was forcing myself to eat for the baby.  I ended up in the hospital for being dehydrated and not eating enough.  So, I went for a second opinion and she put me on the Reglan.  It has helped tremendously!  I actually feel hungry now!  It has taken the edge off how full and tight I feel after I eat.  So far, I haven't experienced any of the side effects."


"I recently got an ugly cold sore on the bottom of my lips but did not catch it early enough. I used Abreva during the blistering stage and already it has made a difference. The product is too dry for my lips however so I am using it in conjunction with Carmex. I am on the fourth day and the sore has gone down quite a bit."


"I've been absolutely in love with the Nuvaring for 6 years.

Pros: I've had clear skin, very mild bloating-no bloating and no weight gain that I would associate with this form of birth control. I love not thinking about taking something every day and have never gotten pregnant! Admittedly taking it out the first time scared me, but was super fast, easy and not gross.

Cons: Nuvaring made me more prone to yeast infections and irritation than before I used it. It also caused an ammonia-like odor for the week or two after I inserted a new ring. "


"Have suffered with insomnia for years. Tried many medications with Zolpidem  ER (Generic Ambien ER) 12.5 the only one that helped. Even then, still was not getting great results at times.  Tried 10 mg of Belsomra, hoping for a better result. This was one of the worst nights I have ever had in my life.  Was wide awake until 4:30, followed by horrible, segmented, almost hallucinogenic dreams. After my alarm woke me, I was in the strangest state of mind, where I had to make myself speak. I finally told my husband, I'm sorry, I've got plenty of conversation in my head, but I have to MAKE myself speak.  I was afraid to drive after this, and had my son drive me. This condition eventually got better. One dose. Never again."


"I'm a 50 year old male diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder at age 25. Went through years of therapy and thought I'd pretty much learned how to manage/mitigate anxiety. I recently came upon a scene where I rendered first-aid to a gunshot victim. Almost immediately afterward I felt 'hollow' and began ruminating about death.

That event acted like a pebble rolling down a mountain and by last week I was experiencing a variety of physical symptoms on top of being angry and withdrawn. My Internal Medicine doctor suggested I go on Zoloft. Within an hour of taking the first 25mg tab I felt a gigantic sense of relief. Five days later I%u2019m still experiencing some minor  jitters and cotton mouth and my  mind races a bit. But the immense sense of relief is still with me."


"I just had my Implanon inserted and I'm fine. From what I researched its the same hormone as Depo Provera and I was on that for 6 years on and off. I never had any issues. No weight gain, no mood issues, nothing. Hopefully this is the same way."


"I rated a 2 because I'm not sure how I feel about this birth control yet. I had it put in on dec 29th. So far nexplanon hasn't been my cup of tea I am even considering having it removed due to I've been bleeding for over 2 weeks now, my mood swings are horrible my husband noticed a total change in me and I've become very depressed. I cry for absolutely no reason and am always feeling down. I am not in the mood for anything! It's hard being I am a mom of 3 boys 5 3 and 1 so you can imagine my frustration. My arm is still sore and I can't stretch it straight out much because I feel like I am pinching a nerve or something. It is very sensitive from where it was placed to my mid-arm. I'll give it another month and see how I feel about it then."


"No help! My hand and head still shake. I have a headache, nausea, and vomiting II never had. My face is red. I have no energy and have to push myself to do things. This is not me!"


"I just started taking Topamax a little over 2 weeks ago. I am up to 100 mg a day.  I am starting to really notice some short term memory issues, however I have not had a migraine, let alone a single headache since starting the medicines. Everything has started tasting weird since starting the 100mg dose.  I used to drink at least 4 cups of coffee a day and can't stand to drink it at all.  The bonus is that it has helped with the caffeine withdrawal. I am also a smoker and it has helped reduce my craving for tobacco! I have read a lot of the posts on here and am seriously concerned about many of the side effects such as hair loss.  However the weight loss aspect is really appealing. I haven't lost anything yet though."


"I have bronchitis and it isn't really helping at all with my cough."


"I have taken Flomax now for about one week, after two days my flow was back to normal but the volume is still low. I hope that will improve over time, on the whole I am very pleased with the results so far."


"Experienced CHF in 2010 induced by hypothyroidism which I had detected 30 years earlier but doctors couldn't confirm because of outdated TSH standards; also had hypotension & hypoglycemia which were again medically unconfirmed until 2010 CHF with EF of 13%. Defibrillator implanted in 2010. Put on dofetilde in 2014 by new doctors cuz other docs had ignored effects of amiadarone on thyroid med plus amiadarone toxicity. In 2015 had tachycardia of 168, another new doc said dofetilde should have worked, recommended ablation, which was subsequently done. Experienced crippling fatigue, I phased out dofetilde a year later, no arrhythmias, energy returning plus clear thinking. Found ablation effective, dofetilde ineffective plus energy crippling."


"I started this birth control in April and loved it. I was very nauseous at first but did not spot at all. After 2 months on it I finally got my period for only two days. It was nice not getting it but also made me anxious every month. After this I did not get my period until last week. So that is 3 months of not receiving my period which stressed me out. After months on it I started losing my sex drive and becoming extremely moody the first 3 weeks of the pack. I wasn't myself anymore and everyone around me noticed it. I plan on getting off of it for a couple of months or more to reset my hormones and get back to normal. Obviously everyone will react differently to this pill. Also my insurance didn't cover it so I was paying $80 for 3 packs"


"I had the Mirena fitted 3/10/16 while waiting to have hysterescopy had it for 2 months with non stop bleeding everyday. Last few weeks I was depressed, angry, bloated, weight gain, itchy skin ended up asking a go to take it out. He said he didn't think my symptoms were from Mirena and that they are more than likely menopause. I'm 49 and had none of these symptoms until I had Mirena. I'm day 3 post Mirena not much has changed yet but so glad I had it out. Hoping to have hysterectomy soon."


"Livalo is the first statin medicine I have taken without experiencing muscle pain side effects.  After a year, I still have no issues though I had to stop taking 3 others including pravastatin, Crestor and Lipitor.  My numbers are all good now with a particularly good reading for good cholesterol."


"I am in a clinical research study. I began this in July 2011.  At first I lost a lot of weight quickly (about 15 lbs in 2 months).  I lost 21lbs altogether.  My appetite was nil and my blood pressure went down!  But after about a year, the appetite is back in full swing and blood pressure is going back up.  Have also gained 10 pounds back.  Also still pre-diabetic.  I guess after a while it stops working.  I have 1 more year to go in the study."


"Nexium has been very effective in resolving my Acid Reflux. I have been taking the medication for over five years, and now have to stop the medication. My bone density test showed third statistical deviation (3T) which reports that I have osteoporosis. I have been taking calcium and supplements with exercise for almost all my life, and it's hard to believe I have this disease. Nexium blocks the absorption by the body, thus the problem."


"I've been binge drinking heavily with severe social and financial cost for nearly a decade now and used acamprosate for just under a year (the reason I perservered for so long is because I thought it would finally kick in and start working). Maybe it works more for people who drink more regularly but it really made no difference to any cravings I have for alcohol. Good luck to those who it does work for and I really am glad for you, but unfortunately for me it was a waste of time and money- I'm going to go back to my GP and ask to be put on Revia and hopefully that will work better for me"


"The only reason I got on Lo Loestrine Fe is because my OBGYN said I have PCOS and it help removed the cysts, this is the first bc I've been on in years. I took myself off  them because of the crazy cycles, but after having a recent miscarriage and PCOS I needed something to regulate my cycles and remove the cysts, so she prescribed me this. I've been on this pill for two months now and I'm at the end of my second package. The first month I bleed for 7 days one day longer then I usually do with a lot of cramping and clotting. I just chalked it up to the cysts being removed. This month I have extremely tender nipples which is actual normal for me I used to get when I was ovulating, but no cycle yet which worries me a lot. I like having one."


"I had been on Ortho-Cyclen for 5 years and had no problems with mood swings. I switched to Lutera after I had my daughter because for some reason my periods were becoming irregular. Since I have been taking Lutera I have been an emotional wreck. I can't deal with normal life situations. I can't make a simple decision like what I'm going to have for dinner because I break down crying from the pressure. My poor fiance has been having to deal with it all. I am switching to another pill."


"Despite the reviews I read about Euflexxa, I received my first injection on yesterday. I was scared at first but I did it anyway. I have an excellent doctor. He explain everything before the injections. He said I would feel the initial stick and then pressure from the medicine going in. He also said  I might have swelling, and pain at the injection site on the next day. I am please to report not only did I not feel the pressure. I did not have any pain or swelling at the injection site on the next day. When I woke up I had zero pain in my knee. I am glad I decided to get this injection. I can't wait to see what the second injection will make me feel like."


"Very convenient & easy to use. Always take it with me. Effective on acid reflux episodes.  Taste like candy...watch out for overdosing."


"I was not going to post a review but decided to after realizing there might be someone out there very nervous right now. I had sex a day after my period ended and while I probably didn't even need it, I was very scared, being a teenager, and decided to take Plan B. I took it five hours after the incident and I didn't have any side effects. I got my period 1 week 2 days after the pill, which is odd considering I just had it, but Plan B messes up your period. Now I'm not sure whether my next period will come when it was originally supposed to, or in a month, but since I got my period I know Plan B worked. I worried myself sick but reading all the positive reviews helped and I hope this one does too!"


"Dr added this to lower my marginal BP  from 135 140 range.  However, my BP went up  immediately to 170 range.  After a week, I stopped the lisinopril  took amlodpine and it went down to 120's within a couple of hours?"


"I suffered for years from neck pain thinking I had problems with a disc.  Three years ago I developed a tremor in my head, a no-no type of movement.  My PCP said I had essential tremor so again I put off going to a doc who knew what he was talking about.  I decided suddenly to see a neurologist and so thankful I did.  Diagnosed properly and then the Botox which is wonderful.  I would say the pain is gone 100% and doesn't even start to come back until about the tenth week after.  Tremor has greatly decreased and I feel like myself again!!! Happy and so grateful."


"Last summer I was prescribed lexapro under the name Liberium for my anxiety and depression. I was told to take 10mg once a day, but to ween myself onto it by taking half a pill a day for a week or two. Most of my time on Lexapro was blurry; I couldn't remember a lot. People around me could tell that I wasn't right. I stumbled a lot, slurred my words, and generally felt very irritable. My anxiety was through the roof but I had absolutely no depression. When coming down from the med, about 3 hours before the next dose, I literally couldn't move. Coming off of the med one day gave me a panic attack and what was diagnosed as a pseudo-seizure: non epileptic seizing while remaining completely conscious. I was taken away by force by ambulance."


"I started this medication within three weeks of diagnosis in September 2015. My initial concerns and scares about side effects quickly turned out to be untrue. Apart from tiredness and join pain in the first few weeks, I have virtually no side effects from the medication. I take it in the evening and aim to have 100% adherence. It is remarkable what science has done in the last 30 years since this condition emerged. One of the drugs in the pill, dolutegravir has a long binding time and so far has had no resistance.I look forward to the results of trials with dolutegravir monotherapy. This would be even better in using only one drug to control the virus. I'd recommend Triumeq to anyone starting treatment or those considering a switch."


"I guess medicines don't work the same for everybody.  I have been taking Januvia (50mg) for 6 months now and have had no side effects at all.  I take 3 metformin daily.  My blood sugar readings have gone down from 8.1 to 6.9 (Canadian scale).  I thought I was heading for type 1 but Januvia really works for me.  Like many things, you could just try it and see for yourself."


"my husband was taking over 10 hydrocodoine pills a day for his back pain until he found a dr. that finally helped him and has got him on duragesic 75 patches he has done so much better with his pain that we get along so much better .the only time he is having some pain now is when it is almost time for his patch to be changed to a new one."


"I was almost too afraid to go through with the insertion process after reading too much information about this method and product. I am so happy that I persevered. The insertionion was a little uncomfortable but it was over in a few seconds. Sex is wonderful and I do not feel it at all. I do not bleed at all and so far, almost one month, no side effects. I would recommend this birth control method to anyone. However, know your body and do what you feel is right for you.
"


"My pharmacy filled my usual Vagifem prescription with the new generic form. It is like using a placebo. I am asking my doctor to prescribe brand only from now on, and will gladly pay the $275/month out of pocket until my insurance will cover it again.

Terrible product!"


"I am a 21 year old college student and first went on a hormonal birth control (lutera) when I was 18 to help with irregular periods--and after almost a month on it I was a raging hormonal maniac. I was too traumatized for awhile to look into other options and then I thought a non hormonal IUD would be the solution to my birth control woes. My first insertion went relatively smoothly--I psyched myself out before hand but it was just uncomfortable, not painful. Unfortunately 3 months after insertion the IUD partially expelled. A month later I had a new one put in which I've had for a year now, and though I still get painful, heavy periods with some spotting between (a trade off I can handle),I really am happy with my decision to get ParaGard."


"Took one pill and it felt like a miracle. Was put on a dose of 1 tablet twice daily for 3 days. By the 5th tablet I was feeling flu like symptoms and dizziness. Not sure if I’m just feeling under the weather or it’s a side effect of taking this medication. Urine has also been bright yellow as many others have also stated.
I would rather have this flu like symptom than feeling like I’m urinaring out razor blades. It definitely worked quickly and that worked for me."


"Sinequan (doxepin) works very well for insomnia, especially since it not only causes drowsiness, but also because it relieves anxiety. A lot of insomnia is caused by overthinking or not being able to stop thinking or fretting. This is a good medicine for that. The only thing is it has more side effects than some of the newer drugs."


"I had yellow fever vaccination three weeks ago I am now concerned that my muscle aches and pains and lack of power in my legs arms and shoulders are marginally getting worse. It appears that when I rest for five hours sleeping or sit down in the afternoon for two hours it is extremely hard to get out of bed in the morning and out of the chair in the afternoon. It gets slightly better as the day goes on but if I sit in the chair at night or two hours tends to come back but not so bad as the morning. I have decided to go back to the doctor for some more advice. I have had three professionals give me advice over the last three weeks, they tend to say just sit it out. I am on heart medication for a stent but I don't think this has any concern."


"on Prozac (Lovan) for 4 years, felt it was no longer helping and read about a type of antidepressant that targets your neorephrine (noradrenaline) re uptake, not just seratonin. mentioned it to doctor, he recommended Pristiq but I had to stop taking the Prozac for a month before starting Pristiq (hell.) Thought I made a terrible mistake as it didn't start working for at least 3 months. Difference is Prozac inhibits you from feeling emotions whereas Pristiq allows you to feel and be able to deal with them. No side effect but if I miss a dose in morning by lunchtime I'm so dizzy and lightheaded!"


"I have been using nexplanon for a little over 5 months now. I have had my period everyday non stop for over 5 months and counting. I lost weight at first then I gained it back. No mood swings that I have noticed. No depression as others have mentioned. One thing I read in the majority of the reviews is that your spouse is mad because you are bleeding non-stop. Well all I have to say is who cares about how they feel sheesh how do they think we feel. I have gone through more pads/tampons than I ever imagined possible. On the bright side I'm not pregnant. I was emotional the second month. I cried  bc I couldn't deal with a prolonged period. I also get bad chest pain from time to time and my anxiety has been at an all time high"
