"I have been prescribed this medicine after 3 surgeries in 7 months. September 2009 after my gallbaldder was removed, it is what I came home with. It has worked great for me. I didn't even take all that was prescribed. That's how good it worked. In October 2009 and April 2010, I had the same surgery. I was given the liquid kind. Worked like a champ. "


"I'm 18 years old. I got the IUD inserted about a month ago and I love it. Insertion was pretty rough, there was pretty bad pain for maybe 20 seconds and afterward I felt nauseous and lightheaded for about an hour. After that I was completely fine. My boyfriend has never felt the IUD and I never have to worry about taking a pill or anything like that which is great. The only negative thing I have to say is that I've had some spotting and random cramps for the last month but nothing too bad at all. When you consider that Skyla works for three years, a month of a little spotting and minor cramping seems worth it to me. Will check back at 3 month mark."


"I was having many panic attacks and could barely manage my life.  I started Serzone with the few side effects of dry mouth, sleepiness at first, and constipation. Only the dry mouth remains. I have now been on it ten years through many major stress issues. It has kept me functional through all these, and I have avoided breakdowns that could have occurred. (On measures of stress tests, I usually rank in the "Go to the Hospital" area).  No liver problems, and it is tested yearly. I have had to slightly up the dosage two years ago.  I did have a horrible time in trying to quickly change to another drug when it appeared that serzone was going out of production.  I am grateful for it, and wish it was more widely used"


"I have been on lithium for 14 years. I take 2100 mg a day and almost all of my suicidal obsessions have gone away. It controls most of my mania but only puts a small dent in the depression. If I miss a dose I will start into mania, so don't miss doses. The only side effect I have is tremor. I take 3 other psych meds and have always been amazed how clear headed I usually am on lithium."


"I suffer from chronic sinusitis caused by allergies.  I also had a bad case of bronchitis a year and a half ago and 3 respiratory infections since.  I have tried a bunch of antibiotics, Claritin D, Zyrtec, Bendryl, Mucinex, Singulair, cough syrups and other OTC decongestants, herbal supplements, steroids, and the Neti Pot. Only the Neti Pot helped me feel better for an hour or so and washed away a lot of the allergens but the sinus inflammation and bronchial irritation due to post nasal drip returned fast. I just started using Allegra 3 days ago and the difference is remarkable.  I can breath again! I also sleep better and I don't feel tired all the time. I have not experienced any side-effects so far."


"I really wanted Wellbutrin to work. I was given 150 mg once daily. At first it seemed to be helping with minimal side effects, but about 4 or 5 weeks in I was so depressed and not even getting out of bed. I was so agitated, even with the addition of a mood stabilizer. Wellbutrin was not a pleasant experience for me."


"Not as effective as Caverject but a lot easier to use"


"I have been taking reclipsen for 3 months (just finished my third package). I was on Yaz for one year, then Lutera, and now am on Reclipsen. Out of the 3, Reclipsen is hands down my favorite. I stopped taking Yaz after reading scary reviews online, and hearing negative reviews from other women I know. The side effects I experienced were noticable. I experienced a lot of spotting between periods, and if I forgot to take the pill at the exact same time every day, my period started right away--sometimes just hours later! Lutera made my fairly-clear skin break out, and made me EXTREMELY moody and often depressed.

The main side effect I have noticed with Reclipsen is breast growth. At least a cup size this last month! (no complaints)."


"I had a severe urinary tract infection and walking pneumonia and doxycycline saved my life. I had 8 seizures back to  back due to the serious infections and they tried keflex 1st but it did not work. Doxycycline is awesome and I'm alive today because of it!"


"I got this after being taken off the depo shot (which caused severe carpal tunnel syndrome). I can't stand it.  The pain when I move my arm is this stabbing sharp burning pain. It is horrible.  I was not told that this pain was even a possible side effect."


"Put my heart into A-fibrillation. It was discontinued and no sign of A-fibrillation in heart when checked. "


"CRESTOR 20mg - STARTED TAKING ON Jan 14, 2015; TWO YEARS AGO.     approx Dec 2016 started to have noticeable pain in legs - meanwhile playing tennis 3 times a week - On Feb 21, 2017 Cardiologist would not eliminate Crestor or substitute but said go to 1/2 dosage which I did.  It's effective.  Will review in 4 months with  Cardiologist
MUSCLE ACHES SHOULD BE A WARNING TO ATHLETES WITH THIS STATIN - MAYBE OTHER STATINS TOO.

"I haven't wrote a review on here in a while but really want others to share because it helps me keep going. So I began in May 2015 at 275 my highest weight ever, I am now at 220 according to my scale at home which usually is a little over my docs scale. I have taken a total of 5 month doses in these 8 months because I don't want to purely depend on the pills. But they are amazing I get crazy cravings and loose motivation easily these help so much. I would like to loose another 40lbs to help me keep it off I plan on using b-12 shots that I also love."


"I was on Effexor which worked great until I went up to 150mgs and I got severe night sweats and dipped into a deep depression. My Dr. switched me to Viibryd, I was skeptical not ever hearing the name. I am almost finished with the starter pack as I am tapering off of Effexor. Everything is going great, my mood feels very stable and I don't have severe moments of hopelessness. However, since starting the 40mg dose, I have had severe insomnia and if I fall asleep I can't stay asleep for more than an hour or two. I'll be calling my doctor and hopefully going back down to 20mg. My only fear is that while I was taking 20mg of Viibryd, I was still taking a low dose of Effexor and now that I'm not, I'm afraid I won't have the same results on 20 mg."


"I have had it for about 2 1/2 months & I have been bleeding for a month & a half"


"Early stages of athletes foot cured in less than a week.  Highly effective for me."


Hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate

"I have Chronic urinary tract infections. This is the best medicine for pain."


"Virtually instant relief from itching-lasts for up to six weeks.(small area about size of a match head) behind knee."


"3 years straight and no mishaps. "


"Was on Prozac for 6 weeks and it made me gain weight and feel numb and apathetic about every aspect of my life.  I stopped caring about my work performance, stopped wanting to see friends, had low energy yet trouble falling asleep, and had no sex drive whatsoever.  The side effects were more depressing than my life was before."


"Be prepared for a feeling of being generally unwell, fatigued, with upset stomach."


"I'm 35 years old and never had acne until about 10 years ago, after I had my first child. My dermatologist prescribed Epiduo after I tried every possible over the counter acne treatments at home. It takes about 6 weeks to start seeing results. At first I still broke out, then my skin turned red and started to peel. I started using moisturizer which burned and didn't even help, BUT, I stuck with it. At about the 6th week, those side effects subsided and I no longer have breakouts. My skin is no longer peeling and red and is silky soft with acne scars diminishing daily. THE BEST STUFF EVER!"


"I have had Ulcerative Colitis for 30 years, on Asacol for 17.  Took it during 2 pregnancies with no ill effects. This medicine has helped me stay in remission for the past 17 years, at a low dose (would like 4 400mg/day, but too expensive, so making due with 2).  A lifesaver."


"I have like many men with ED, I have had anxiety and confidence issues when coming to sex. For me it has definitely been more so a mental problem physical. Getting a erection alone had not been a problem, just when the pressure of having intercourse was there was when I had a problem getting a full and sustainable erection. I took a 20 milligram 36 hour Cialis pill and chopped it up in quarters. I took 1 quarter of a pill Friday afternoon. No joke, I had incredible and substainable sex for the next 30 hours with not one issue."


"I've been taking Belviq for 1 week, I haven't lost any weight yet. I do believe it's helping me not crave sweets! I have a major sweet tooth & after 1 day on Belviq I have had no cravings for the sweets. I do have dry mouth so drinking a lot of water which is a +! Also I'm very tired, it's all I can do to get through work. Hoping I start to feel better, I can't take much more of this tiredness. I hope I start seeing the scale go down."


"Very bad side effects. Given by IV in the emergency room for severe migraine. Jaw clenching, agitation, loss of appetite, groggy, incessent urination (with a fowl smell). Side effects lasted for a week after administration."


"I had a torn hole in colon from this which needed surgery to repair. Over two months to recover. expensive. very dangerious. This should not be over counter purchase it should be only by doctor orders."


"I have severe diverticulitis.   I was very sick for a long time and went through a colon resection.   Linzess was prescribed after I healed from the surgery to make sure things kept moving and I didn't get sick again.  Initially, I loved LInzess.  Here is my issue:  I don't think I get a complete bowel movement as much as I pass a lot of water through my  bowels.  The feeling is if there is still something that needs to be done...and water retention and bloating!   I have gone months without taking LInzess and then take it and look as if I am 6 months pregnant which is odd for a 60 year old woman.  Weight gain is severe but reduces after a week or so.  This is over a period of on/off for two years so I am certain it is this drug."


"I have been using this patch for one week and It keeps falling off. One shower and It is off.
I didn't have any relief from this. Around the edges It collects dirt and then doesn't stick."


"I have been off the depo shot for about a month now and have been bleeding ever since. Its really become frustrating. I also bleed during but not the whole time i was on the shot. I only took the shot once."


"I was diagnosed about 8 months ago with ADHD and am 31 years old. I always knew that something wasn't quite right, but growing up the teachers just told my parents that I was a "social butterfly" and wasn't interested in school. When I went to college I just stuck with classes that I knew information about. I am currently taking a class that I really have no interest or knowledge in and it's AMAZING. I was one of two people that passed 3 tests a couple of weeks ago...and this week I passed 2 tests with 100%. LOVE IT."


Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"This drug is amazing! Within minutes my migraine went down and it took the pressure off my eyes! I'm so amazed by this! I have also arthritis and it also helped me take some pressure off my back. Its a blue and yellow capsule. It has 30mg of codeine in it I believe. I was dying all day literally with this migraine. I couldn't move or it was worse. I went to my pain management doctor for a refill on another medicine and I told him about this migraine and he did a great job of taking good care of me! Thank you."


"Started my first dose Thursday 4/25 weighing 222lbs. Today 4/30 I am at 209.5. That's a 12.5 lb loss in 6 days! Can't wait to see where I'm at on day 30! Only side effect I had was trouble sleeping. Started taking Unisom and problem solved. I never got dry mouth because I drink close to a gallon of water a day. So far so good so I'm going to keep on keeping on!"


"This medicine saved my life. It will save yours too if it is not abused."


"No side effects...and no more panic attacks. Yay."


"I am a 27yr old female, 115lbs. I have been on Lexapro for 2 months now for anxiety. I have never had any problems with anxiety until I started working full-time (a lot of hours that are non-stop) and I started planning my wedding. All of this made me very irritable, stressed to the max, edgy, worried about every little thing, and just not myself. Since I've been on Lexapro I've been back to myself and better. I'm relaxed and easy going through this stressful time! It took a few weeks for the medicine to kick in and for me to get over a few side effects (insomnia, constipation, tired in the afternoon) but it's totally worth it."


"I was just diagnosed ADD by the Quotient test - I have always been successful but lazy and the kind of guy who always did the bare minimum but managed to squeak through life (school and work).  Fortunately I am an entrepreneur and have employees because I do not feel I could have ever held down a job. I have been taking Vyvanse for a week and my entire life has changed - I am getting my work done, I am happier, have less stress and anxiety about not getting things done and for the first time in my life I am able to sit and accomplish a task without getting frustrated, distracted and putting things off.  AMAZING!"


"I've been taking Trinessa for 3 weeks now. I have a little stomach pain sometimes but I guess I can deal with it and it is clearing my face which was something I notice today while looking in the mirror, I was glowing, loved it but I've been bloated and I really don't like looking pregnant when I'm not...but I do hope I'll gain weight just not in my stomach."


"Amazing results!"


"I Often get sick when going offshore fishing. I always trooper through it, but wanted something that may allow me to really enjoy the trip. This wasn't it. I have NEVER been so sick. Every time I ate or drank for 10 hours out there, I would throw it up within 20 minutes. Usually, when I use one of the pills I get sick once or twice and that's it. This didn't work at all for me."


"I have been suffering with osteoarthritis in both knees and hips, sleepless nights and anxiety when I have to move (especially after sitting a length of time). Meloxicam improved my pain and mobility in just a couple of days. I take 15mg every day and I am extremely thankful for this medicine!"


"I got terrible pain AND diarrhea after taking this medicine. I took similar product in the past AND this one is Indeed the worst one.  "


"I'm a Male in my early 50's. I was struggling with weight loss. My doc put me on Topamax several years ago to curb my appetite and since then I've been able to loose 65lbs and keep it off."


"With it, calm and restoring nights, without middle of the night or too early awakenings."


"I had a back problem that lasted over 10 days. I went to chiropractor and tried everything. I took one dose of Skelaxin - pain was gone in less then an hour.

I have tried a lot of "muscle relaxants" over the years.  All they do is sedate you.  This one worked and it doesn't mess with your head -- I noticed no sedating effect, even after a glass of wine.  I personally do not like to feel "drugged." I hate feeling the effects of opiates, for example. This had no side effects (my experience, yours may be different).  Main feature was that the terrible pain was gone."


"The insertion of it was so painful I was shaking, sweating, and nauseous. I stood up, white washed face, totally pale and about to vomit/pass out. Prior to this, my doctor gave me three "extra-strength ibuprofen". It wasn't nearly enough, I wanted to die. After one month of solid period bleeding, writhing around in pain in the fetal position, tears streaming down my face from excruciating pain, my mother took me to the hospital. They did an ultrasound to make sure the IUD was in it's proper place and not stabbing through my uterine walls. Surprise! My body was having contractions trying to push out the IUD. I had the IUD removed the next day. It took two doses of morphine to get the pain to dull out. Horrible, horrible experience."


"I have had chronic lower back pain/degenerative disc disease for over 25 years, along with an L5 S1 diskectomy, my pain and my condition continue to get worse with time. In the past I have been on Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Fentanyl, and just most recently, Oxycontin 30 mg time release, did not like them at all. Even more recently I was prescribed Hysingla 80mg time release. I have been taking it for two days now and I am amazed at how I feel when I wake up! No pain, and slight withdraw, at which point I take a 10 mg oxycodone for breakthrough pain. It's been forever since I have woken up happy. Don't notice any side effects yet, can say, that it certainly does not last he 24 hrs.... more like 12-14, and takes a few hours to start working..."


"I have severe COPD and started taking Daliresp approximately 2 years ago.  My pulmonologist suggested Daliresp as I was experiencing frequent exacerbations requiring 2 to 3 hospitalizations a year.  I am taking 2 different inhalers a day and on 4% oxygen 24/7. For the past 2 years I have been hospital free! Yah!  I wish the Daliresp wasn't so expensive or a generic were available, but then again no hospitalizations  (which is the last place a sick person should be)."


"This product is so effective.  It gives me a good night sleep."


"I started taking Gabapentin two weeks ago. My doctor prescribed it for my hot flashes and night sweats. I was averaging two to three hot flashes an hour and terrible night sweats every night. It was very debilitating and overwhelming. Since starting the Gabapentin the night sweats have vanished altogether and I average two hot flashes a day! it's a lifesaver for me. I take three 300 mg. pills per day, one in the morning, one after dinner and one before bed."


"Iam a 70 yr. Old diabetic and have been type 2 for 15 yrs. Started victozA last week. I immediately felt better no more headaches and my morning   blood glucose is under 100 for the first time in years. Iam running 3 x a week and eating low carb diet about 45 carbs per meal as directed by Dr. Iam losing weight about 2 pounds in first week. I have not noticed any negatives with victoza other than some flatus and stomach rumbling. My cravings for sugar is diminishing and I have alot of energy. I would recommend any reader to go to a dr. Who specializes in endocrinology and get a diabetic nutritionist to set up a meal plan for you. Also key is to exercise daily and stay positive. Even though you are a diabetic by taking care of your body ."


"I'm 66 and had my first colonoscopy yesterday. I'd never had a general anesthetic before, and didn't know what to expect. On the operating table when he said he was beginning to administer the medicine I thought I should start feeling sleepy within a few seconds. Then the nurse said the procedure is over and asked how I felt. It was just that fast. No feeling of losing or regaining consciousness. Afterward I was completely clear-headed and in good spirits. I couldn't ask for any better experience for general anesthesia."


"I have used this medicine since grade school for allergy and hay fever (dust, mold, pollen, etc) and find it is really big on effect and its side effect, drowsiness, doesn't seem to bother me.  This said, others that I have recommended it to say its like a tranquilizer.  For taming allergic conditions, this is great - second only to diphenhydramine in effectiveness for an OTC.  Diphenhydramine, however, has a much stronger drowsiness side effect for me.  The best news is that this is cheap!  Around $4 for 100 4mg tab doses."


"Taken Ritalin over 15 yrs for NARCOLEPSY.   Provigal to $$.  Over the years I have increased to 40mg two times daily.  Have not (and won't) increased dosage in over 5 yrs.  Retired now so it's easier to adjust mg.  If I feel it's not working,  I will stop taking it for a week or two (if possible) and then go back 10 mg at a time.   May be time consuming but never had addiction.   Considering the SR."


"I love Apri. I tried another birth control, and it made me so depressed, but on Apri I feel just fine. The only problem is that in 18 months on the pill I have gained about 20 pounds, with very little change in my diet and exercise. It is SO HARD to lose weight on Apri."


"As someone who uses Zyrtec as one of 2 primary treatments (The other being Benadryl.) I can vouch that Zyrtec gets the job done as described. 24 hours of itch free and low-drowsiness is very suitable for me. If you are someone having withdrawals from Zyrtec then you don't take it right. It only occurs when your body needs the Zyrtec in order for your brain to be chemically balanced. This usually occurs if you take it based on a schedule rather then when you notice your real symptoms.
If you listen to your doctor and/or the label, then you will be like me as someone who is happy to be symptom free."


"Definitely works great for my sinus congestion, but like others, experienced insomnia and dry mouth. Took one pill at 6:00 in the evening. Probably better to take in the morning."


"Wow! From what I have been reading,  there has been a lot of problems/set backs with this method of birth control.  Now I have not had it very long,  almost 3 months.. So far..  so great!  no period whatsoever! I'm not sexually active atm.. But no problems with pain, bleeding, or sex drive. Minor discharge.  I'm concerned with weight gain.. But I think it's for the best to stop eating unhealthy like I have been and committing to at least sit-ups!! xD

People probably won't find it as funny.. But lack in sex drive is probably the most affective BC.  Hahahahahah! No but that's no fun to those with those problems.    I am breaking out in my chest and back but washing my body with natural homemade  scrub has worked wonders!"


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD last week he has always been super hyper, climbs on furniture, spins, sticks tongue out and can't look anyone in the eyes without fidgeting around. I didn't want to believe it but when my parents and my grandparents, also the dentist asked about him...I knew things were getting worse. He was seen by 3 specialists in NH and was given 5mg of Ritalin 1/2 morning 1/2 afternoon, he has already had a profound change in his behavior. He doesn't stick his tongue out of his mouth at all and makes crazy noises, he can sit calmly now and concentrate, he actually played with some of his toy which he didn't really do before, only con so far..after 4 hours he has aggressive behavior and crying over nothing. Just started maybe that's why."


"Was switched to this from reclipsen-works great for me. I think a lot of the reviews are from people who don't do well on a lower estrogen/higher progesterone pill. Ortho did to me what all the negative reviews on Apri said it did for them. You have to find what works for YOUR body. Don't get scared off by other peoples' experiences-everyone is different. This works well for my body, and is affordable."


"My experience was awful. When I first got the implant I bled for about 5 months straight although it was lite it was still annoying. After awhile my doctor prescribed me the pills to stop the bleeding which it did. After I was done with the trail pack I immediately went back to spotting. My implant also broke in half inside my arm! Getting it taken out was the most painful thing ever!"


"Nightmares, hard to sleep."


"I have suffered from psoriasis for 20yrs and the condition fluctuated over this time. I have tried creams, methotrexate, light therapy and cyclosporine - none of which helped. Eventually I saw a fantastic dermatologist -  I had to try 3 treatments and if they failed, I could apply for permission to try biologics. I tried Enbrel first -worked until I fell ill with tonsilitis & my psoriasis came back with a vengence. I switched to Stelara, I am about to take my 5th injection, and it has been amazing. Within weeks, I was almost clear. This was the 1st summer I've been happy to show my body at the beach! Minimal side effects too."


"I tell ya. The differin gel I was prescribed at the dermatologist, worked great. But the differin gel that is now available in stores, like walmart. HORRIBLE. Not the same at all. Different color as well. 12 dollars down the drain."


"I felt no better. Had bad dreams and could not urinate by the second day."


"This medication worked wonders for me. It took a while (3 weeks maybe) for it to fully set in, and I went from suicidal thoughts and self harm attempts to actually being able to function in society. Wonderful antidepressant, no side effects, except that it is easier to become angry because this medication quickens emotional reaction time. I was put on Lamictal and Klonopin to help my anger and anxiety/paranoia/panic attacks that came with my depression and they have both been wonderful. I do not have any complaint except the anger issue. I will occasionally have a breakdown and have only self harmed twice since starting this medication. Would recommend to anyone suffering from depression."


"I have always been up and down with my weight, but never to the point where you look at yourself in the mirror and don't know who you are looking at any more. Well!!! I have reached that point where I said "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" I tried working out and eating well, a personal trainer, fasting, pills, diets and a lot more. You name it, I tried it! Well 6 weeks ago I decided to give Adipex-P along with B12 & Methionine Inositol Choline (MIC) Injections injections a try. Guess what? I have lost 26 pounds. I cant explain how amazing this feels... IT WORKS! The 1st week alone I lost 8 pounds and I didn't even work out. The only side effect I got is Dry mouth which is good b/c it keep you drinking water. Once you see it works you will keep going b/c you feel motivated. Good Luck :) & GBU"


"Those who are complaining that this is not working are likely Afreeza's competitors. I'm 6ft, 170 lbs well and reasonably fit. I've genetic type-2 diabetes (every male member in my family has it). Was on metformin but body started to develop resistance towards the drug. I hate needles, so Afreeza was god-send for me. I took a simple spirometric test and was prescribed the drug. This drug is phenomenal. One cartridge is 4u, I typically need 4u along with regular food and I'm all set. Blood sugar is within normal levels within the next 90 mins. Please don't spread bad news if you are a competitor. You are playing with people's lives here."


"I had high hopes for this medicine, but aside from not helping my inflammation or pain.  I'm experiencing itching, red skin, blisters on my tongue and a lot of my hair falling out.  Not sure I can stand the itching til my blood work up in November.  Here's hoping the side effects will decrease."


"98 years old with hip fracture and small spinal fractures.  After 1.75 years of treatment, the spinal fractures are gone.  Some rebuilding of bone mass to the hips.  Have to stop in 3 months as two years of use will be reached.

Used Calcium L=Threonate instead of other standard types of calcium.  It starts dissolving in my mouth if I don't swallow it quickly.  Milk is what I use to take it.

The extent of bone loss required massive doses of Calcium and Vitamin D3.  Calcium L=Threonate was chosen because renal excretion was not its major elimination route in a study reported APS, so kidney stones were not an issue.
Received the medication as a grant to low income patients"


"I had Nexplanon inserted September 2013, so I should still have until September of 2016 with it. However, I think that will be calling the doctor to try to get it removed. Insertion went great, the pain and bruising lasted for quite some time. But it was still worth it as I had little to no symptoms for the first year. Then I started getting a brown gooish discharge frequently. I went to the doctor to have it checked out, after many tests we decided it was old blood, nothing to worry about at the time. A month ago I got my first period since being on Nexplanon- I am on my third period since then. Times in between these periods, I am getting brown discharge. One month, three periods? Heavy cramping? Major acne? I think not."


"I started taking Adipex on 3/21/12. My starting weight was 271.5. Today is 4/25/12 and I weigh 258lbs. I've lost a total of 13.5 lbs. I'm certain I could've lost WAY more. After over a month, I still have 1/2 a bottle left. The side effects of the pill (rapid heart beat, dizziness from not eating..etc) brought out my pre-existing anxiety issues. I stopped taking it for 2 weeks and got back to eating wrong but I started again a little over a week ago and I'm losing like CRAZY! I weigh everyday and the number keeps getting smaller (side effects are GONE). I sometimes skip a pill, but I still don't feel like I'm starving like I used to. Will continue to take it until I reach 145lbs. I haven't exercised, but I did purchase the INSANITY workout and will start soon."


"20 year old male.  After failing 2 of my college classes in one semester, decided it was time to do something about my increasing depression.  Doctor started me on Zoloft.  Took about 4 weeks to start to notice the effects.  Occasional shakes.  Memory loss was frequent.  Immediately noticed a decrease in sex drive and wasn't a problem until I started dating again and couldn't get it up the first time I got with my current girlfriend.  Luckily she is understanding.  My doctor is switching me to Wellbutrin.  If it wasn't for the decreased sex drive I probably would have stayed on it."


"I took this to help with hair loss.  I had  a very bad allergic reaction on different occasions. Tight chest and throat, nausea, fast heart rate, vision changes."


"I'm  33yrs old and have been on Victoza since 11/2010 starting weight of 202lbs and I have Insulin Resistance Pre-Diabetes. I'm on a 1.2mg dosage.  I've been following a low-carb diet (50g/day) and have lost 36lbs so far. I'm no longer experiencing any side effects. I'm amazed on how things I struggled with over the past 10 years are reversed.  I no longer have migraines and even my eye sight has improved."


"Within 7 days of taking Affinitor the fluid in my lung decreased."


"I've been taking this for 3 years. I do not get a period, which is wonderful.  I do still experience slight mood swings and some hormonal acne."


"When I first looked at the reviews for Rozex I was terrified because so many of them said it made their condition worse until someone reminded me that happy people don't usually write reviews. So I wanted to write a good one. I have acne rosacea so about 5 minutes after I would take a sip of red wine I would break out in huge bumps that last for weeks. I'm a 20yr old in Ireland, so obviously the idea of never drinking again was troubling, but so was the thought of having horrible acne after so many years of nice skin. I started rozex a few months ago and the effects came in semi-slowly (maybe a month or two) but now it works amazingly. I don't even worry about it anymore. I can go on a huge night out and wake up with great skin."


"After receiving my IUD 6 weeks after my daughter was born I was just relieved I could not become pregnant and I was still able to happily breastfeed. Periods were not an issue other than breakthrough bleeding around ovulation time.
My biggest issue with this IUD is the toxic reaction I had due to the copper. I am diagnosed anxiety but I had never felt anxiety so bad in my LIFE than on this thing. I avoided all and any social situations, I was unable to work and cope with life. I was placed on an extreme anti panic attack and anxiety meds that I could not wean off from. I went from being healthy and fit to gaining 50 lbs. After feeling frustrated I looked up my birth control and sure enough this is COMMON!!!!!"


"I have never felt the need to review any medicine. However, I know I was super stressed waiting to see if this would work so I want to ease some others. I had unprotected sex with a random one night hookup and that night I did not take my birth control pill. It was 2 weeks before my expected period and I woke up the next day and took plan B within 12 hours after. And my period came right when expected! This worked for me and I know it works for many others! Happy bleeding!"


"Love it for bi-polar disorder and losing weight! I've been on this for just over 3 yrs and I've lost close to 100lbs! "


"I'm 24, been on it for 1 year. I have gone from 112lbs to 127lbs but have pretty clear skin other than during my period and the week after. Periods come the same day same time each month and are not too heavy. My biggest problem with this pill is my absolute lack in sex drive. Planned parenthood gave me the Nuvaring to try. Hoping it doesn't mess me up!"


"I have been suffering from Restless legs syndrome for several years, sometimes very pronounced and frustrating.
I recently had major surgery and, for reasons unknown to me, the doctor's prescribed Gabapentin for me (3 x 300mg caps daily). Since taking them my RLS has totally disappeared.
That's right, totally. Nada, nunca, none.
I has been two weeks now and I can only pray that this continues."


"I have suffered with severe menstrual migraines for 25+ years to the point where I fantasize about amputating my head.  I was on Imitrex (made me very sleepy), Relpax (worthless) , generic (even worse). Maxalt is my go to medicine. Unfortunately its a fight with the insurance company to get regular refills. They are trying to force me to take a generic. I used to get 12 tablets and they changed it to 9- which 9 is not enough. When I run out I cannot help but pray for the day I get a refill fearing I will get a migraine before that time. When the refill day comes, I stalk my pharmacy on the phone until it is ready. Ugh...talk about "drug-seeking" !"


"Use as needed. Recommended by pharmacist as an option to daily dose cialis, which I also used as needed. Would probably do ok without, under ideal circumstances, but at 59, is excellent booster.  I take 20-30 mg at a time. Appears to stay in system longer than I originally expected. I don't see any negative side effects."


"I stayed it after finding I was very low on T. Started at 4 pumps  and went up and felt great, a year later my levels were dropping. Doc increased me to 6 pumps and it did nothing. Now he's taking me off it because it seems it's caused my hemoglobin to go way high and at risk for a stroke or heart attack."


"Taking Depakote for grand mal seizures since I was 12. I'm 28 it has always worked unless I don't take it. It thinned out my hair, made me gain 15 lbs and makes me really tired.  I take 1000 mg a day. It is very toxic for your liver, you really should not drink on it! Working out helps with battling the tiredness. Hoping to switch to Lamictal again. I hate the side effects but it works great for grand mal seizures!"


"Biaxin was prescribed for bronchitis 500mg 2x daily. I have experienced metallic taste since the first pill. I am tired and have experienced a soreness on my right side. I have experienced soreness on my right side from other antibiotics as well (not all antibiotics), so perhaps this is a rare sensitivity on my part. "


"I have been taking Concerta for (ADHD) about 3 months now.  The effects have been both positive and negative.  I started off with 36 mg and my grades were increasing rapidly, and I was more focused, but I started to become more antisocial, angry, I didn't have an appetite, I had sleeping problems and depression.  Then about two weeks ago I switched to 54 mg due to lack of focus, and my stomach has been troubling me. I'm having twitching problems, and I am hearing voices."


"I have two small children and it can be a lot to deal with on a daily basis. My doctor prescribed 1mg twice a day and it has helped tremendously with taking care of my daily activities and not being so stressed out all the time. I would say to anybody with a problem with stress or raising small kids it definitely helps make things a lot more bearable."


"THE WORST itching I've ever experienced in my life, and in the worst place possible. Resisting the urge to scratch at myself was extremely difficult, but somehow I managed by holding a hot wash cloth to the area. It itched and burned for about 2 hours before it randomly subsided. I would only recommend this product to someone who honestly thinks they could handle the extreme itch. I wish I had read reviews before purchasing this $20 product. Had I known there was a 7 day pack, I would've chosen that one instead. For someone going through this exact pain while reading this and searching for some encouraging words... hang in there! It'll be over soon. Hot water is your savior."


"I had acne since 11 and I'm now 22, but Retin A really helped my get rid of them in 3 months. (I also cut dairy which is what I believe had caused my acne.) I started using retin A at 0.025->0.05% and I am seeing huge difference in my skin. Pores are significantly smaller as all my friends have complimented on how good my skin looks. Scars are going away faster than they do normally. I didn't have initial breakout like most people have. There's only occasional peeling when I don't drink enough water. I do notice my skin regenerate A LOT faster so remember to gently exfoliate your skin (light med peel). Amazing as it sounds, do give it a few months (or more depending on how your skin reacts to it). Going for 0.1% and I'll see how it goes!"


"I've been doing the infusion for three months now. It hasn't improved any of my symptoms at all. Day of infusion I get severe low back/hip pain & I'm exhausted. The two days following I sleep a lot & feel awful."


"This birth control really helped control my periods they are far more light and less painful than before I started this pill. The down side is now it takes just about a miracle to get me turned on, which was never a problem before."


"I have been on Yaz for a little over 4 months and have been surprisingly happy with it. I had mood swings and was pretty emotional for the first 2 months but it really has gone away. I was also bleeding a little irregularly at first but that also went away. The only complaint I have is that it has killed my sex drive and is causing problems in my relationship. I can't really ever get wet anymore which never used to be an issue. For that reason, I am switching to Paraguard which is non hormonal. I really wish it didn't cause me that problem because otherwise I love it!"


"I have been on strong pain medication since 2006 due to 13 spinal surgeries. Fentanyl, MS Contin, Roxicodone, were all effective at 1 point, but side effects and tolerance levels caused me to switch to Oxycontin 40mg 3 times a day, with Roxicodone for break through pain. Finding the correct dosage to avoid withdrawal symptoms was difficult, but finally my body has adjusted. First time in a VERY long time I am almost pain-free, with the least amount of side effects I HIGHLY recommend giving it a try."


"I didn't realize all the stress that I had been under. I'd actually experienced a panic attack for the first time at 23 while I was driving home from college.  I thought that I was going to die.  I was frightened by the entire experience.  I went to my doctor who prescribed me with the lowest dose of Xanax in addition to 20mg Prozac.  About three months later my doctor decided to increase my Prozac to 30mg.  I haven't needed Xanax for months, but I keep it on me where ever I go.  Xanax is so fast acting.  It calms my nerves instantly."


"I used Orsythia many years ago and all went well. I don't remember having any issues while using it. It prevented pregnancy, my acne cleared up and I lost a little weight. I recently decided to get back on the pill and have only been on it for about 2 weeks. This time around, my boobs hurt so bad, my back muscles are extremely tender and I constantly feel like I'm going to vomit. So far there are no negative effects on my anxiety/depression.

I'm going to give it more time since I had a successful experience prior to this, but if things continue down this path, I will have to switch to something else."


"Best taken in the morning. Helps deal with hormone cycling."


"I'm been having migraines since the age of 16 so for 31 years now.  Most of my migraines are menstrual but I also have them throughout the month also.  Frova takes care of them 8 out of 10 times but it does take a while for the effect to kick in - well over an hour even two sometimes.  It's the best medication so far.  Have been of Imitrex, Maxalt, Relpax, Fiorinal, etc.  Frova works best.  If only I could find something that works 100% of the time, I would be in heaven/normal.  I always have to take Frova with 2 Advils though."


"It works perfect for me to go to sleep. I only took half of the the tab. I  sleept the whole night, for 10 hours, but I had a hard time trying to wake up!! I felt dizzy and with Migraine. I read everything about side effects, so I realized that I can't take this substance because I'm taking Eutirox because I have been diagnosed with HipoTyroidism. It works but its not good for me."


"I am on pack 2 of Sprintec 28.. With the 1st pack, my period was exactly on time, on this pack my period came 1 week early. My breasts have SIGNIFICANTLY grown, I experience a lot more emotion (I cry so much), some days I have an appetite while some days I do not, and some days I am extremely nauseous. I have gained a few pounds but not enough to complain about! However, my normal period is 3-5 days, and it was normal the 1st time.. but this time its been 9 days and my period is still here. I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT. Hopefully next month it will be normal again!"


"After I started taking Junel I got my period and I've had it for over 2 weeks. It's pretty heavy and I have bad cramps. Hopefully it will go away or I am going to discontinue it."


"I recently started Remeron after trying Buspar for anxiety/depression and insomnia. I have a dysfunctional family like many others but they are the root of the issues that I started having.  Buspar was a waste of time for the most part, helped with anxiety some but pushed the depression on.  I now take 30 mg at night as well as 0.25mg of Klonopin.  I am sleeping better but as many have said, very hard to get out of bed.  It has been only 4 days and I will stick with it as I am not happy, but also starting to feel less depressed, maybe because I am sleeping better."


"I've been taking Seasonique for two years. When I first started using it nothing major really changed with my body, but after the first couple of months I started to break out more often and my sex drive was practically non-existent. Two years later, the acne problem isn't as bad, but my sex drive is still gone and during intercourse I am also dry which makes intercourse uncomfortable. This was my first birth-control and I am now switching."


"Would be nice if you could remove the ingredients that make it time release"


"I love it. I don't have any problems at all.  I'm so happy my Doctor  prescribed this its  amazing. I will recommend if your Doctor prescribed to you is excellent."


"Only side effects I have is numbness in hands and feet, burning taste on tongue when I drink sodas and some mild dizziness first few minutes after taking medicine. Benefits definitely outweight these minor side effects. I went from daily migraines to less than 3 a month now!"


"This works great."


"So there's many opinions out there about the Nexplanon/Implanon. When reading everything, always know that ALL BIRTH CONTROL AFFECTS EVERYONE VERY DIFFERENTLY- not 1 person will be affected the same way. I had the implant placed February 2014 and got it removed July 2015- a year and a half. I loved it- at first, I had regular periods and then about 4 months in they would come every now and then but be very light so it was not a problem. At about a year, I stopped having periods altogether... but I also lost my sex drive completely. Being married, it is a very big issue to not have a sex drive. I did gain a little bit of weight, but nothing too crazy. I got it removed before the 3 year mark MAINLY because of my loss of sex drive."


"I have been on Trinessa for maybe two years. I've changed birth control multiple times because I wanted to try something that would give me less periods. When my doctor and I discovered fewer periods a year wasn't working for my body, she put me on Trinessa. From the start I have had nausea so bad it wakes me up in the middle of the night for the first few pills of the pack. I have been getting infections such as BV and UTI's. I have never ever had any of those infections or any problems with my vag before starting this birth control. Periods are still heavy, cramps are really bad.My sex drive is just gone. My boyfriend thinks I find him unattractive or that I'm with someone else and cheating on him. Only good thing, no babies"


"Negative Side Effects:

- Diarrhea for the first 4-5 days of taking it

- Still heavy flow periods

- Tension headaches everyday

- Breast tenderness

- I feel that I've been eating more (not sure if that's because of the birth control)

- Heavy PMSing before periods

Positive Side Effects:

- Shorter period

- Less acne

- Less cramps"


"Was prescribed this for bullous pemphigoid. It did not work for it at all, but at least had no bad side effects that I noticed. Pharmacy switched my rx to the generic (I did not mind)."


"I wanted to say I had high hopes for this pill. I was on Alesse before Yaz. It was great at first but then Alesse started to make me depressed after 5 months. My doctor prescribed Yaz. Usually I'm very cheerful and happy, especially these days when NOTHING IS WRONG. Day 1 on Yaz I started to have anxiety and panic attacks about every little thing. Day 2 I would cry for no reason and felt anxious all day, if I wasn't crying it was because I was distracting myself from the bad thoughts that kept creeping up on me. Day 3 I couldn't be alone without freaking out, just panic attacks. I can't function like this!!"


"I got my second round of Botox yesterday. First one was in 2014. I think that depending on your doctor's experience and acknowledge with this medication is how you will get better. If your doctor put to much medication will not be good for you. Thanks to my doctor I feel better."


"I just had the second worst experience with cold sores. I have had them my entire life. Once I had two of them on my bottom lip in the sixth grade, horrible experience. Anyways. I just had one on my upper lip 2 weeks ago, Then got a cold. (Don't wipe your nose too hard!!) - caused me a minor cold sore, that was gone within a day with Abreva because I caught it soon. And if things couldn't get any better. The next morning I woke up with a fat lip and a nasty cold sore. I suspect it was due to my dry lips. Keep your lips moisturized! Abreva works guys. Trust me. My suggestion?? Pop those blisters and quickly dry them up with a tissue. and put Abreva over the blister for faster results. Think about it-- you're essentially speeding up the work."


"I had a fatal accident 12 months ago a, broke both pelvis, multiple ribs, fractured ankle and many more fractures in my body. I use this medicine for the pain and it is 100% effective."


"Periodontist prescribed before dental surgery - 2 x 1MG tabs 1 1/2 hrs before my appointment. It was great!  I do not remember anything about the surgery and obviously felt no anxiety - yet was awake the whole time. Great for this purpose."


"I was recommended this product for axillary hyperhidrosis. The first night, it tingled a little but it was tolerable. Ever since then, i have been using it every few weeks because i fear of loosing sleep due to the irritation which leads up to redness and soreness. And then the irritation feels like a tingling itch which progresses to a burning sensation, enspecially when you try to scratch a little. I would still try it if i was you, its different for everyone. The things i learned is to wait maybe 30 mins after washing underarms at night to apply it and waiting 2 days after shaving prolbably isnt enough to restrict burning due to the high level of alcohol in the product. The less, the better trust me..dont keep piling it on top."


"My wife was on this stuff for at least a couple of years.  She suffered severe tiredness, nightmares, irritability, and even suicidal thoughts, accompanied with severe depression!

Although it did make her feel better the side effects are not worth it at all!  She switched to flonaze and it is just as Good.  Please, if you are on  this medicine and have any of these side effects,please stop!"


"Used Toradol for intractable Migraine Headaches. It did not cut the pain at all."


"Given the length of time (10 years) I've been on the medication, my doctors don't want to take me off it because of the addictive issues. It still works extremely well if I take it in time (when I feel that an anxiety attack is getting ready to start). After the onset of the attack, the medication no longer works.

Even though I developed additional anxiety issues, my doctors don't want to use it for that because it will only be feeding my addiction and not the condition."


"I had pretty mild acne at age 14-15, but it REALLY hurt my self esteem. I didn't talk to any girls because I was so embarrassed of my face. I started Claravis, and I'm not kidding, two days, my skin was almost completely clear. I stayed on it for three months, and didn't have a single breakout, just mildly dry lips. Now I'm 16 and its been at least 5 months since my medication ended, and I'm so happy. I've had like three breakouts that have lasted for one day and they were most likely from my sweaty face, since I'm a runner."


"Effective. No periods at all. Lots of weight gain."


"Severe depression,anxiety,bad mood and social phobia, obsessional irritable and desperate thoughts, always afraid to go out and meet friends, teachers ,family members,relatives and all other social gatherings.A month ago i start taking escitalopram 5mg(prescribed by psychiatrist) (generic)Laxapro is not available here. I am happy to share 90% My symptoms resolved, i felt like my eye sight has increased,everything look beautiful and colorful ,i got unknown source of happiness, even my friends say i am new man.

(I am not recomending anyone to take escitalopram. Always consult a registerd practitioner)"


"If your face doesn't respond to over the counter products, you don't need to try everything out there.  ProActiv, SkinID, OXY, they are all the same!  Don't hesitate to try this miracle drug.  Pay attention to the side effects, of course, but this is not just a treatment, it is a cure.  I had severe acne from 16 - 20 and I tried everything!  Doctors were so reluctant to use this Accutane, keeping it as a last resort.  Once they were finally convinced I wasn't responding to anything else, and that I wouldn't just outgrow it, they finally put me on it, and the results were dramatic.  Within weeks, I could actually feel the change in my skin.  My skin finally felt normal, instead of greasy and painful.  I wasn't afraid to touch it anymore."


"Been on Contrave for three weeks and have lost 8lbs. I just started taking three pills a day. It took me longer to go up on dosage than it should have,but it took my body longer to adjust. I did have the jitters and did get nauseous when I upped the dosage, but now I feel ok. I definitely get full quicker and no longer snack. I also noticed my craving dissipating. I am training with the couch to 5k, bc on May 16th I'll be doing my second 5k!"


"I have been on Saxenda since about the middle of May, down 30lbs and I follow a 1800 calorie diet. I have been very lucky as I have not had many side effects. little nausea for a few weeks and when I upped to the 3mg dose I was exhausted for a couple weeks. They have both seem to have subsided now though. This is a great tool to learn how to eat properly and listen to your body. It does curb appetite but some of it will return, but just remember that because you are hungry doesn't mean you have to eat. As with all weight loss you have to teach yourself proper eating techniques. If you want this drug to work you cant be eating scrap all day and expect results. I definitely recommend this to people who have a hard time saying "no" to food lol"


"I do feel that this medication works, regular blood work to check levels in the blood are crucial.   I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for 16 years and have been on this medication since the year 2000.   It worked better back then, I do have an appointment with a psychiatrist to go over the mediaction as I do not feel that it is working as good as it used to.  Perhaps my body has become immune to it."


"I heard about Nexplanon from my step mother. I got the Nexplanon in December of 2013. I did have side effects, my major ones are depression, lack of sex drive, and mood swings. I can deal with those. I didn't have a period for almost a year! In September of 2014 I had my first period for like 2 days, now it's October and I'm having my second period this month. The first one was extremely heavy, which is highly unusual for me, and the second very light. All in all a great birth control method."


"I've just had the Mirena inserted two weeks ago. The insertion is uncomfortable and a little bit painful but nothing unbearable. I had cramps for about one hour after the insertion and haven't had anything since. No spotting, not much cramping, totally worth it."


"Works well, can manage most foods without any problems.  Note that this medicine does promote food moving through one's "system" more quickly so frequent bowel movements and loose stool may be an issue for some."


"I began using Cialis a week ago. The third day, I got a strong erection, my first really hard one in more than nine years since open heart surgery. I took another Cialis on the third day and then nothing happened. Seemed to quit working for me. Then yesterday, day 6, I took another and suddenly it's like I'm 16. Get hard if the wind blows. My wife and I are very happy and feel like our life is suddenly changed for the better. Cialis rocks!"


"I've been on it for about 4 months I'm also on depression pills anxiety pills and sleeping pills the only side effect is my bizarre dreams like cows jumping over fences its worth the money its like how much do you spend a month on cigs"


"Tiredness, but so far Lexapro has been the best."


"I went to the ER for a migraines I had for three days. I was given this medicine with Benadryl. What I noticed was the nurse gave me the Benadryl first through IV then Reglan. It worked really fast. No extra side effects. I also was given Toradol, it worked as well."


"I had a bad injury years ago resulting in a rather large prescription for hydrocodine. So I was like awesome a legal script. Little did I know just how quickly I could become dependent. Soon it was oxy, roxy, morphine, luckily no needles. Then it was all my free time, money,  payday advances, check cashing, pure misery to just feel normal and not ill, I'm sure many have been through it. I had heard about a clinic close by and it took away all the daily stress, and saved me probably 1000s of dollars. Hours of time, and supervised help. It was my choice. I'm at 160 mg so it will be a while before I'm completely free, but the progress I've made already is unbelievable  I've even told my parents. Best choice ever."


"I was lucky, and was having another procedure done at the same time, so I was under anesthesia when they inserted mine, and I didn't experience the pain of insertion that some have described. My body is confused though, because I was supposed to start my period the week after, and I had just had a D&C for a biopsy, (Which was benign, yay!) So my body tried to have a period, I experienced intense angry mood swings. I saw others had experienced that on Mirena. Very little bleeding, a little more intense cramping, but Advil took care of it. Mood swings passed after first couple of days, now I am back to normal. You can feel the string if you search for it in there, but my partner doesn't notice it during intercourse. I will update in 6mths."


"Great product, highly recommend it for early treatment of cold sores, chapped lips/nose, even little burning scratches on hands and knees of little kids, gives soothing treatment.

I use the blistex gel, and carry it in my pocket in times of need."


"I took one for the first time for a urinary tract infection and about 3-4 hours after taking I had rapid heart beat, shaking, diarrhea and nausea.  I took a Xanax because I mistook this for a panic attack but the Xanax did nothing to help and I started to get a strange flushing, burning skin sensation.  The sensation happens in waves over my skin, very strange like nothing that has ever happened to me.  Called Dr.s office and was told it was an allergic reaction, been taking Benadryl all day but still feeling the effects over 2 hours later!"


"Just started taking these pills a few weeks ago. Am on the placebo pills part of the pack now. Period has not started yet. Side effects I've been experiencing: fatigue, nausea(non-stop), slight cramping, acne breakouts(which I've never had an issue with before), fuller breasts, very sore/tender breasts, and my period has yet to start. However, I did have unprotected sex within the first 7 days of starting the pill. So, my symptoms could be signs of early pregnancy or adverse side effects of the pill. Will update in a few days."


"Complete remission within first month, for about six years. Then, developed a bacterial infection (lymph nodes) that couldn't be controlled, so discontinued Humira. Infection subsided about six months after discontinuing Humira."


"I couldn't handle taking a pill everyday nor could I have anything inserted inside me, so I have been on the nexplanon for 5 months I bled for the first month but my doctor gave me pills and it stopped I'll stop having period for about 2 months and I'll come back for about 2 weeks then go away again. I had one big cramp a week after I started but that was it. I love it and I'm not pregnant it works I'm just afraid I might gain wait I haven't too much yet so I'll stay active and do far so good!"


"I got on these pills mainly due to the fact that my partner and I are highly sexually active. As of lately not much due to these pills making me moody as well as of course I would get one of the rare side effects. I have vaginal dryness, I have no period which makes me sketched out and my libido is low. This pill just isn't for me I couldn't make it past the one month mark. I feel like I should have shopped out more options on the pill side."


"This is the best medicine I've ever used for my constipation. I also have irritable bowel syndrome."


"Worst antidepressant out there. Ruined my life.
I took 5 mg for a week, then 10mg for 2 weeks, gone up to 15mg but couldn't persist because of unbearable itching so went back to 10mg for another three weeks. I stopped taking it because it was completely unhelpful, all in all - 1.5 months with this drug.
When I quit it I began experiencing withdrawal symptoms: Brain zaps, muscle twitches, tight muscles, extreme agitation and restlessness, no focus or concentration, loss of memory.
I'm writing this review almost a year after quitting this drug(!) and still the symptoms persist. I think that it caused permanent brain damage.
If you've been hurt by this drug like me, spread the word!
If you're considering taking it, STAY AWAY!"


"I started taking Adipex on 8/16/2015 an my weight was 244.8 now my weight is 238.7. I don't feel hungry but I have a lot of energy."


"The headaches were bad. I've been off this medicine for months and can still vividly imagine the awful taste it leaves in your mouth. Like a gagging thirst. The headaches alone make it unbearable but the truly worst part is irritability. "


"I love being on the NuvaRing! I switched from the pill because it was making me sick every other day and it wasn't the best thing to experience. The NuvaRing has been awesome! I was a little worried about it at first with being in me for 3 weeks straight and if my boyfriend would mind it, but he hasn't said a word about it being in. I don't have to worry about being sick everyday or missing a dose because I can put it in for 3 weeks and forget about it! it has been 100% effective also, we use no other forms of birth control and I'm still not pregnant. The only downside is that I've started to notice I'm a little more dry than usual, but I wouldn't think about going off of it because of that. Its been great and I will continue to use it."


"My doctors have tried repeatedly for YEARS to find another drug to replace Drixoral Cold & Allergy Tablets in treatment of my allergies. All have failed. In fact, every time Drixoral has removed from my regimen, I have gone into asthmatic bronchitis.  Needless to say, it distresses me greatly to know that Drixoral is not readily available now."


"I just started taking Alesse, but I was using it before. Due to lack of money I had to go off and come back on again. I'm constantly spotting from a lot to a little in a matter of hours. I'm a lot more snappy then I have ever been. I get sassy quickly. Headaches almost all the time."


"Love this pill. I was on it for 2 years and decided to try other ones that were cheaper. Bad mistake! I never had any side effects from Loestrin it was just pretty expensive. But after trying other ones this one is the best out there. No bad acne. Short periods. No depression. No weight gain which was great because as soon as I left Loestrin I gained 15 lbs on my new pill. Horrible! I love, love this pill and am willing to pay 45 bucks because it makes me feel good!"


"I've been taking Pristiq for about 2 weeks now.  I feel a lot better.  I have had increased energy, and a great mood during the day.  My doctor told me I would start to feel the affects in about a week or so, but I felt them immediately.  I have also lost 13 lbs.  I have had a few side effects though.  Namely, muscle cramps, and diarrhea, but I believe these will, pass.  I am going to stick it out.  I have also been taking the medicine in the mornings to avoid problems sleeping."


"Haven't had a drink in a whole week - which is good for me - seems to be working fine for me!"


"This stuff made me bleed nor did it work; so I ended up going with the 3 day cream in the end-clotrimazole."


"I originally started out on solely Prozac for depression. I noticed a moderate amount of difference and because of my lack of focus (after a few months of adjusting to Prozac), my psychiatrist gave me the option of combining Prozac with Wellbutrin. The first time around it really wrecked havoc on my GI and I found out that is extremely rare. I took a couple months off of the Wellbutrin and went back to Prozac alone. About 9-10 months ago, I started back on the duo and I have had zero problems since. No side effects and I have actually noticed quite a significant difference when taking it before bed. I wake up extremely energized. I have never been on Wellbutrin alone, but I can safely say this combination has been fantastic in the AM/PM."


"I'm 31. Just finish 3rd month of Loestrin. Severely tender breasts 3 weeks out of the month. Major mood swings and depression during 3rd week of the month. Headaches got worse over course of 3 months. Tiny bit of weight gain, no acne and almost no period, they only last about 2 days. Doctor switched me to Loseasonique because of the mood swings."


"I've had HSV-1 (Cold Sores) for the past 10 years with a flare-up, in what seems, every 3-4 years so daily prevention was never a big deal to me.  At first I'd just hit it with some Abreva and toss a bandaid to cover the unsightliness and in a about 3 weeks, it would go away.  My last flare-up, I went to the medic who got me some Acyclovir.  Honestly, taking acyclovir did seem to shorten the duration but my sores still lasted 2 weeks.

This recent flare-up my doc prescribed me 1 gram of Valtrex, & the blisters appear to be healing after day 3, not week 3.  Awesome stuff."


"So I began using ziana in the beginning of December 2014. Just as the others said, my skin did go through a purging process for about 2 months and a half. Almost coming to the end of the third month, I began seeing some of my acne disappear from areas I had always broken out in. Around March (4 month mark) my skin had drastically improved. However, the only side effect is my face is super oily even when I wash it in the morning, it starts to produce oil hours later. In my opinion, this is a small price to pay for clear skin. My advice to new users, stick with it no matter how awful it may seem! This medicine performed miracles for me"


"I usually never have side effects from antibiotics, but I had moderate dizziness and nausea.  The nausea is not bad enough to send me to bed all day, but it does interfere with my daily schedule and leaves me extremely worn out and fatigued. It is frustrating. I have to take it four times a day for ten days."


"Wish I had been prescribed Xyrem sooner! Amazing the difference I feel. The taste is horrible but mixing with Crystal Lite lemonade makes it bearable. Was taking 30mg Adderall 3x a day and still struggling to get through the day. Now I'm only taking 30mg a day. I feel so much better."


"I started Fastin 30mg from my doctor on May 19 2014. You need to change your lifestyle not just pop a pill and be done with it. Because if you don't change, the weight will return. I started at 285lbs in one month I lost 25lbs and feel great. I changed myself with habit changes and exercise. I told myself that when this weight is gone it's staying gone, so I change my lifestyle and you can do the same."


"I found this in Amman Jordan while traveling. The first thing I found that helps migraine symptoms. Can't find it in USA."


"Did not help me. Made me feel extremely tired to the point I was falling asleep while driving and during class (which wasn't like me, because I'm also on Vyvanse (A stimulant)) Went off it quickly."


"I only tried a sample and not very good tasting. Price is around $500 per bottle, a month's supply I guess. Also, Medicare doesn't cover it and no coupons. Not sure if it would help, but it's too expensive for me."


"Not sure"


"your skin will clear up while ur on this drug. This drug will screw your gut bacteria so when u stop takin it, ur acne will come back way worse. Avoid this drug at all cost."


"I have used this birth control for about 3 years on and off now for severe periods. I have no complaints. When actively taking my birth control I have no signs of my period. No cramps, bloating, acne, nausea, cravings, bleeding, nothing. Glad I started on this, it's made my life better!"


"Oh man. First shot was great, only minimal bleeding. The second shot, however, increased my acne, caused mood swings, caused lots of breakthrough bleeding (especially after sex and during intense exercise) and worst of all made sex painful!!! That's definitely not a side effect you see listed. I have a sex drive but no matter how wet I get, when he puts it in its like a burning sensation and it burns afterwards too. Wish it worked out because I love that it is no effort only every three months"

"It was a nightmare.I had the worse side effects that medicine had to offer. Its been a month and I am still swollen and been to the worthless ER in Grants Pass, Oregon  which is Asante Three Rivers Hospital  where they after 5 1/2 hours diagnoised me with shortness of breath.No treatment for the convulsion the swelling from head to toe, confusion,and the list went on.I was first  turned away from Asante Urgent Care saying they do not treat patients with side effects from Medications."


"I'm naturally depressed/anxious, but this medicine has made it so much worse. Panic attacks, headaches, suicidal thoughts. Awful experience."


"I took one Mucinex DM at 11 am and coughing and mucous flow was reduced significantly, although accompanied by dry mouth.  Yesterday at noon I would have given it 10/10.  However, I took one capsule at 8 pm and had severe insomnia and could not fall asleep until 8 the next morning.  "


"This worked amazingly. I used to be hardly able to breathe because of pollen. It's worked wonders."


"Hot flashes."


"I had been taking propranolol for migraine prevention, but I was still taking Imitrex more often than I should have. I moved to a new town and met with a PA who suggested Amitriptyline. Wow! I went 2 weeks straight without a headache and have taken Imitrex only twice in the past 3.5 weeks. It has been like a miracle for me. The only side effect I've had was some afternoon sleepiness, but that passed after the first week. If you feel like you get headaches every day, ask your doctor about this medication."


"Been on oxy, roxy, morphine, etc., all for 19 years. Subutex works to help quit."


"After switching from levora* to which I had the worst experience for 3 months, gained 14 lbs* my doctor decided to prescribe microgestin, I'm in my 2nd pack and so far I've had The only thing good about this pill is my high sex drive and that's it

Other than that it's

Headaches

Short breathe

Ache

Moody

Increased of hunger

Weight gain

Blurred vision

Light periods *good*

I seem to have gotten all of the side effects on this pill, but overall it does the job and I'm not prego. But I'm gonna stick around a little more to see how my body does for the last pack."


"This is the second inhibitor that I have tried. Started off great, but now after 3 months am wondering if it is all worth it. The tiredness, insomnia and swollen hands and feet are bad enough. The worst part is the confusion. I go to appointments at the wrong times, can't remember some of the grandchildrens names! Along with the hot flushes and nausea, not fun. Then the doctor tells me that I need it for 10 years and just work through the side effects!"


"Not good for urinary incontinence. In fact, going to a urologist very soon to seek help/surgery options for worsening incontinence. Originally went on Cymbalta for severe anxiety/chest pains, never even knew it was prescribed for "leaky" folks. May work for some, but did nothing for me. Also weaning off for anxiety, due to severe weight gain while taking."


"My 10 yr old son would get stomach cramps and diarrhea every time he tried milk. We tried lactaid on two different occasions a few weeks apart and both times caused vomiting. Obviously something in the pills does not agree with him."


"I have sciatica. It took this medicine a couple of days to take effect on me but it finally did. It's okay."


"I'm stopping smoking for years now, tried everything. And I mean EVERYTHING, and repeatedly. I thought this is not going to happen, ever. Then I started Chantix and it is over 4 months now that I did not have a single cigarette. Even though these urges are still there, it definitely takes the edge of it, and makes quitting manageable.
True - you also have to be ready. I just hated it lately, the smell, the whole thing - but was unable to say "no" to it. It is disgusting, nasty habit, and I'm so glad that I did it. I'll NEVER pick up a cigarette again, after all that I have to go through to finally make it. Good luck folks - Chantix works! I didn't even have to finish it all - stopped taking it about half way through the second box."


"I have been taking Zanaflex and Desipramine for my daily headaches for about 1 1/2 years. They have greatly decreased the number of headaches and I am very thankful for the relief. I do experience dry mouth and frequent urination but I can live with that. Much easier than the horrible headaches I was experiencing daily."


"I started taking Pristiq 50mg for Major Depression, major anxiety, Chronic pain. I took it first day and it was GREAT! First week sleep, headaches were rough but energy was good. Gradually started decreasing by itself as I kept taking the pills. 9 month's later I was still taking the pills but I was dizzy, getting brain zaps, CRS, tinnitus, major anxiety, non-stop migraine for 2 months, bed rest, and had to go to psych hospital. Psych. MD upped to 100mg  Pristiq that lasted a week. My whole spine was HURTING and now I am switching over to a new SNRI that I am not happy about. And still on withdrawal from Pristiq. "


"I began testosterone treatment in June of 2008. I self injected 200mgs of Enanthate. After 2 months I stopped using it due to painful injection sites. In 10/08 my Doctor prescribed me the Androgel pumps. My levels were at 198 which for a 36 year old male is way low, no wonder I felt terrible. No drive to do anything, including sex, which for me was unheard of. I started out with two pumps but I noticed no change. In 11/08 4 pumps which actually caused a drop in my levels. 01/09 I began six pumps. In the past 5 months I have felt good. I am playing sports again, sex life is better, and I have lost 15 lbs. I have no side effects. Still a head of hair! I just feel really good. I feel like I am 26 again. No regrets. Use 100mg of B6 and more protein."


"I wouldn't recommend. I didn't get pregnant however it did throw my hormones off & I gained weight (25lbs) from having this product inside me for years. It frequently threw off my menstrual cycle causing my hormones to do the same & this usually extended my period. I had to take birth control pills along with Implanon due to the longer periods. I wish I would have just stuck with Regular Birth control pills but I was scared I wouldn't remember to take it due to my busy schedule however now I set a reminder on my cell phone that goes off everyday. I recommend you try this before putting the Implanon in your body also it was hell getting it out being that it moved around & more."


"I have had 15 surgeries for injuries sustained through sports and accidents.  I also have severe migraines that started when I was 18. My Xtreme sporting life is over. I am in pain 24/7. Dr too concerned about DEA so I have no solution other than load up on Advil. It worries me now because I'm getting older and the Xtreme pain really ups my BP.

If severe pain and nausea lasts 3 days, I spend the $1k for the ER trip. Although each ER Doc wants to try very weak pain meds that have not worked, if I can get a shot of Dilaudid w phenergan, it seems to break the pain cycle. Morphine may work, but I can actually feel it in my body and that scares me. Just wish I didn't have to wait until I feel I'm dying and spend $1k to get relief from this drug."


"I had started taking this medication after I slowly went of off lorazepam since it stopped working for my panic attacks. I found that Clonazepam took time in beginning to work since it long lasting one than after couple hours to days it started working for my panic attacks and insomnia issues.  It helps my pins and needles issues too and my blood pressure is normal too. The only problem is it makes my depression sometimes worse. I also get little bit over sleepy like in daytime I feel a hangover of sleepiness and sometimes I feel bit dopey so I take two 5mg of it at night time but If I feel it too much I sometimes take 1 in a half to limit too much sleepiness. I also am afraid to lose my brain because I tend to forget where I put things at."


"I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until my 30s.  I am now 47.  My biggest struggle is trying to stay awake, focused and on task.  On Adderall I was finally able to organize all the billions of thoughts racing around in my head and focus in on the tasks at hand.  Downside - as the years went on I went from 5 mg 2x a day to 20 mg 2x a day over a period of 10 or so years.  I ended up getting off because I started feeling very hot all the time - shorts in 40 degree weather was comfortable for me. The other problem was I was starting to sleep 12 hours a day (work from home so literally worked, slept, ate, slept)- this resolved after stopping the Adderall. Loved how kept me efficient in tasking but extreme fatigue forced me to find another alternative"


"I took Prozac for 3 months at 10mg to treat depression from bipolar disorder Type I. I felt numb and I just didn't care about much of anything while taking Prozac. I felt very indifferent toward most things. I also experienced a very low sex drive and difficulty in achieving orgasm."


"Helped clear infection but made me very moody and depressed!! Just finished 3 day course hope the side effects fade ... Nasty :("


"Helps immensly. I have taken three 400mg every day for 30 years and never increased my dose. Often, I forget to take it and never had withdrawal."


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


"First time YI. Used monistat one day cream tubey thing. Love it. After about 30 min there was some burning and itching going on but it wasn't so unbearable that I couldn't function and the itch and burn went away after a little while. I used cortizone 10 maximum strength feminine itch relief. It helps so much with that unexpected itch and burn after inserting monistat."


"I've been on Pristiq now for 4 months and it has changed my life for the better. Pristiq needs time to work though. During the first few weeks I had no desire to eat anything. Then after the 3rd week I got my appetite back. I've went from 150 pounds 3 months ago to 170 today. Back to where I was. I've gotten energy back whilst on Pristiq and my desire to do things has returned. To those who are optimistic about Pristiq I recommend that you give it a chance."


"Made me jittery and could not sleep. Lost weight but side effects were very bad. Doctor switched me to Belviq. See what happens. No insurance coverage yet. Still fighting for it with them."


"Took generic Biaxin (500mg 2x a day) / clarythromicin and it quickly made my illness go away but at the expense of crummy side effects. Never had medicine make me have such bad digestive effects (diarrhea) plus severe headaches and spells of dizzyness. After three days called the doctor and he immediately changed my medicine. I do not recommend this medicine at all."


"I took requip and stopped because after I took it for a few hours I would actually have horrible symptoms.  I changed to Mirapex and now the same thing is happening. I saw one other person said that....why is this happening.  My Dr says it can't be but I know it is."


"I've been taking maxzide-25 for over a year and it definitely keeps the fluid from hanging around the ankles. I initally had a mild nagging headache the first 3 days, after that no problems."


"I am 5'4" and started at 253. I stared Saxenda this past Tuesday. Still at the 0.6mg dose and this morning down to 246. Now i know darn well that that is probably a combo of water weight and just not. being. hungry.! I've had a little nausea but that seems to go away by mid morning. Overall, i feel pretty good and whatever the action on the brain that this stuff is, I like it. I don't feel hungry and i have energy. Since i am seeing some reasonable results, I am not getting discouraged! I paid for this out of pocket for the first month, just to see if it would work. If you can get past the price tag (which is rather obscene and the only reason I did not rate a 10) this is definitely worth a try."


"I have been on the Evra patches for about 7 months and have decided after 4 months of using it to keep it on without a break (after my GP said it would be okay to do so) to avoid my horrible periods. I was taking the pill before and always forgot to take it and have had a few 'scares' in the past so I decided it was time for change as I am still young and not ready for a shock pregnancy! I haven't had the best experience with it to begin with as I have heavy spotting after every patch change which is VERY annoying. It lasts days to my boyfriends and my own annoyance! No baby though and my breasts feel bigger."


"I started this pill and all seemed fine.  I had some symptoms while my body was "adjusting" to the hormones: breakthrough bleeding, a little weight gain, feeling blue.  But I guess my body never fully adjusted because 6 months later, this pill is giving me headaches, I have breakthrough bleeding in the middle of the month every month, I feel slightly nauseous all throughout the day, and I still cramp and get acne.  I didn't get pregnant though, and my periods were super light and short, but this pill just doesn't work with my body, I think."


"I randomly started having horrible anxiety making me feel sick and wanting to avoid all social situations. Dr put me on Lexapro 10mg and it’s been a life saver. I was worried at first with bad reviews, but I shouldn’t have been. Only side effect was dry mouth the first two days. Took about 3 weeks to work, but suddenly one day I realized I had no anxiety. It’s been a blessing."


"Percocet 10/325 is the only medicine which takes my back pain away as I have degenerative disc disease. I do not know what I would do without them."


"I've been taking Lutera for 10 days now and I have pros and cons for this pill. Ever since I've been taking this pill, the cons are increase in appetite, stomach pains, and headaches, and a little weight gain. Pros, my acne has cleared up a little since using Lutera and also less depression. I've been thinking of switching to another pill, cause the stomach pains and headaches are horrible."


"I spent months on this medication and all it ever did for me was make me drowsy, all I ever did was sleep, not worth the toxicity to your liver"


"I got the implant May 2014.  I didn't have a period until Jan, which last 3 weeks.  Now end of May 2015 I'm on a second period entering the second week.

It's been working great thus far.  I only gained 5 pounds while on it.  White heads on my face, on my chin specifically have increased :( .  The only other issue I have is my arm itches where the implant is at times."


"Sertraline does help Social Anxiety and Depression associated with this. I have been on it for nine months and if I said it has not provided me any benefit, I'd be lying. It allows you to think more rationally, therefore making CBT more effective and easier. Also, it is good for Depression. It helped me to be more positive and covered up my depressive thoughts, although they do come up every now and then. I take Zoloft primarily for SA and I feel I need something a little more anxiolytic, obviously Zoloft IS anxiolytic as it is an antidepressant, however I do feel slightly jittery and twitchy whilst on it (I am at a maximum 200mg). I am moving on soon, to Paxil or Lexapro, preferably Paxil. I'd recommend Zoloft for someone with a mix though"


"Have taken lisinopril for at least 10 years and had no side effects that I can tell. I'm very sensitive to medications but this has effectively controlled my blood pressure with no down sides that I can think of."


"I have been suffering from headaches and shoulder strain for years.  I finally found a medicine that works. For me it is like taking Vicodin without the grogginess. It takes the pain away and helps me relax. Finally a medicine that WORKS!!"


"Four years ago I tried Metformin for my type 2 diabetes and had a horrific reaction, severe fainting, stomach  pains, diarrhea, cramps, and  discontinued. Tried a second time a few weeks later, had same horrrific reaction.  This week I started Glipizide and in five days I see a drop in my insulin to 115  from  346 at the start of the week.  NO pains, cramps, diarrhea,  and can't believe it.  Feels like a miracle after my metformin experience."


"I am 61 and have been using Cialis for approximately 1 and 1/2 years with great result. I have been taking medicines for high blood pressure for about 12 years now. Erections are much stronger and last longer..partner is very pleased also. She can not believe the difference. "


"I was started on Pristiq 50mg a year ago when my moods started to get out of control, as well as my anger. I was so angry all the time, and I felt like I was always on the verge of crying. I experienced no side effects whatsoever from the Pristiq, and felt a noticable difference within a week. I'm not angry for no reason any more, and I don't feel like I have to cry when I drop a spoon. This medication worked wonders for my depression, anxiety, anger and invasive thoughts. My doctor increased the dose to 100mg after I plummeted emotionally, despite the Pristiq. The increased dosage worked! I've been on 100mg for 6 months with no side effects and no complaints."


"So far light bleeding for two weeks then no bleeding but cramps"


"I have been on Contrave for 5 weeks. I was super lucky didn't have any side affects except a little constipation. The fist 2 weeks down 5 lbs great. Now nothing for 3 weeks. I've actually gained 2 lbs back. I eat less than 1400 calories and exercise. Guess it's not enough for me bc its not helping. Sad days. "


"As a 64 yr old female I was having severe pain and stiffness in both knees due to advanced osteoarthritis. Ortho doc recommended a series of 4 weekly Orthovisc injections in both knees.  For me, the shots were very painful. There was no improvement until after the 3rd week. I am now 1 wk. post the 4th and final shots and have greatly decreased pain. I now can exercise regularly without pain. The only difficulty I still have is walking up and down stairs. I highly recommended the orthovisc injection treatment."


"I have had Implanon for about 2.5 years now. I LOVED it up until 6 months ago. For the first 2 years I had no side effects, not a single period. Suddenly I began having spontaneous and HORRID periods, extreme cramping, bloating, swelling. My OBGYN said that this is being caused by my uterine lining becoming too thin through my years of having the implant. I tried taking 2 weeks of Estrogen then 2 weeks of an antibiotic to help "rebuild" by uterine lining. Nothing helped. I will have the implant removed next week"


"I've read through a bunch of these reviews and although I know everyone is different, I feel a GREAT need to share what exactly happened to me while I had Mirena placed in my body. When the doctors say "mild" cramping, they are NOT speaking for everyone. I was in EXCRUCIATING pain. I passed out in the doctor's office TWICE and then vomited violently until they gave me a shot of medication to ease the pain enough so my body would stop having such a horrible reaction. "


"Love this patch! Was very scared to try it after I heard ortho evra was discontinued (I had been on it for 5+ years).

First day/week was a bit tough. I had a small amount of bloating Day 1, went away overnight. Had some migraines for the first week on and off - nothing some advil or Excedrin Migraine couldn't help with.

After that it's been all perfect! I have lost weight on this (no pudge like w/Ortho Evra), no shortness of breath, no depressed feelings, my alcohol tolerance came back! I loved OE, but had no sex drive, and was gloomy a lot, and was also always tired. Nothing with these! I'm fun again!

I continue to place this on bikini line (under my underwear). Works great, especially having something tight pressing against it! LOVE IT"


"I have recently taken my third round of Stromectol for a skin condition that I describe as 'worms beneath the skin'.  My dermatologist prefers to call my condition, 'V's rash'. I am using Stromectol with a daily dose of 200mg doxycycline.  Yes, it does make me nauseous, but worth it. Stromectol has worked the best this third time. I begin my second phase today, as I began the third course two weeks ago. I've had no 'activity' in the skin since the third round began. Hope this last dose helps these. "


"Did not work for my moderately high blood pressure."


"This medicine had very rough side affects, but at 12 weeks my viral load was undetectable.  Still waiting for the 6 month after treatment test."


"I have been very happy with Mirena. It was inserted at my 6 week post-partum appointment. I was nervous but felt nothing. It felt like a pap smear.  I did have spotting for about 6 weeks after. I started a diet program two weeks after insertion, and I have lost 21 lbs in the last 6 weeks, so don't believe it when people tell you that they gained a whole bunch of weight after insertion.

I have no complaints, and I would recommend Mirena to anyone."


"I was 50 and had ED when I  met this young women, initially  did not know what was wrong as I could not perform  and had to abandon act  with excuses. A month later I was prescribed 50mg and took it an hour before, and it worked fine as we both had a good time twice in one night. I was exhausted in the morning, had slight head ache, and felt heat on the body during  night but was fine  next morning, since then was it has been12 years as I am 62 now, & have taken this miracle drug of 50 mg on  every weekend when we make love & it works great. even though I have controlled my BP  drug medication, the last 12  years have been great with Viagra. I only hope it will help till I am 65 when I would probably say good bye to sex.."


"Absolutely the best medication for anxiety. I have taken this medicine on and off for over twenty years and it has literally saved my life.  I too wish that people would stop abusing this medicine and that doctors would not fear prescribing it when necessary. It's been prescribed to me with antidepressants of different kinds and allowed me to live a normal life for the most part."


"Used this med for my last two pregnancies under doctors med advice. Hated it! All I could do while on this med was sleep. I felt high all the time and my doctor didn't seem to believe me. Maker claims it doesn't effect the baby however I'm not convinced. Only time I felt any baby movement was when I stop taking the medication. When I discontinued to use it I felt as if I was having withdrawals and was forced to continue it. I have four living children of which 2 of them I took zofran for nausea and they were all born healthy. The last 2 pregnancies both ended up in losses. Both had all the genetic testing normal. 1 was 13 wks the other 21 wks. I learned this drug was removed from mrkt for its dangers & reintroduced with minor changes made."


"Was diagnosed with Sjogrens syndrome several years ago and prescribed Plaquenil.  While taking Plaquenil I had no difference in my symptoms.  After doing years of research I believe that I may have been misdiagnosed and actually have a parasitic infection (not malaria)!"


"I have bipolar 1, extremely dangerous highs and extreme lows.  I also struggled with anxiety.  I was always so anxious that it felt like bricks were crushing my chest all the time.  I was in and out of Dr's offices trying to get help.  It wasn't until age 32, when I was hospitalized in a psych ward, suicide attempt because I was done suffering and done with life. I had a psychiatrist try trileptal.  I've tried numerous anti depressants and mood stabilizers and I didn't think this would work.  Literally days later, I woke up without the chest crush feeling.  I didn't even know normal people felt that way.  Then I noticed my moods stabilizing.  Been calm and mellow ever since.  This saved my life. No noticeable side effects for me."


"I have been on the Implanon since November 8, 2011.  As of November 10, 2011, through today, I have been extraordinarily moody, snappy, miserable and all-around upset about everything.  My husband has been tolerant, but I have a zero-tolerance policy for unnatural mood swings.  I've called my doctor for follow-up, but if this moodiness (crying, depression, snapping, anger) keeps up for one more month, I'm having the Implanon removed.  There are all sorts of other types of birth control, and clearly messing with my hormones is not the birth control that's good for me. I am very happy for the women that this DOES work for, and equally grateful to the women who shared how nutty this makes them.  For my biochemistry, this does not seem to work."


"I am a type two that went into Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and spent three days in the ICU. Once I got out I found an endocronologist and he put me on Glyxambi and My numbers stay between 90 and 120. I also do not eat very many carbs. My doctor gave me a discount card that I use when I get my script filled and the 30 day supply is free with the card. I feel better than I have in years and my last A1c was 6.5 I have been on this drug since April 2016 and today is Oct 27th 2016"


"I first got the shot back in September everything was fine! I loved it, no period! It was awesome! But at the end of November spotting started happening, every day! Different colors, sometimes very heavy and then light, clotted and here recently it has been going back and forth from a dark brown to a purple color and I do mean purple. I have not gained any weight on this shot I've actually lost 8 pounds since October. Reading other reviews I will not be going back for my second shot."


"I took the medicine version of dulcolax, at around 8pm, and I have found it works ALOT better than the tablets do! I woke up at 5am with severe abdominal pains and really was in agony, but I'm managed to go to the toilet and feel a lot better, a bit sick though. I'm rating it a 5 because yes it does the job, but the pain can get unbearable and I'm only 16, go to your doctor and ask him for painkillers to go along with the tablets, he gave me a special kind that matched the kind of laxative, only problem was they didn't agree with me and made me throw up, may be different for others tho!!"


"I was on nuvaring for 8 months. Starting in January, it was great, I was mostly acne free and wasn't having too many mood swings. At about June, my acne became cystic, extremely painful and I could barely move my face without pain. I gained 20 lbs and could not lose it with dieting and working out. I took it out two days ago because I'm positive that things will change."


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

"My 10 year old son took Dulera for asthma.  In the 8 weeks that he took it he dropped from 62lbs to 56lbs.  He was tired all of the time to the point that he had to lay down often.  He is usually active all of the time."


"I have been on Sprintec for about 3 packs which is about 3 months and so far I have had awesome results, speaking for a female who is 21 and has only had probably about 4 periods in between ages 13-20. I was a little overweight and horrible skin. Since the third month I haven't had any side effects other than nausea. I don't eat as much, my sex drive has increased for someone who isn't active. My acne is slowly disappearing. I have lost weight and you can see the difference as well. So far so good. "


"These patches have made life bearable and sleep possible.  I was suffering from severe pain from arthritis and also ruptured discs. I have been able to function and go about life with the aid of these patches."


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


"Prescribed 300 mg 3x a day for five days. Take during a normal sized meal. Side effects have been occasional diarrhea and now the worst chest pain/heartburn. Took the medicine before bed, didn't lie down until later but woke up with incredible pain in my chest that spread. Before reading these posts, the chest pain was so bad I was ready to go to the ER. Unsure how long this heartburn will last, otherwise this antibiotic did it's job and the infection is is mostly gone. Very effective. Still have a couple more days to go. "


"I have really enjoyed the control over my excessive underarm sweating that Drysol has given me. I use it about twice a week. Occasionally it stings so bad I have to wash it off before the night is finished. The wetness control far outweighs the stinging sensation. No more embarrassing nervous moments."


"I have 20  large fibroids that have come back after two my surgeries. I have just started taking these tablets and what a huge difference it has made to my life. I can now leave the house and no more flooding. I can sleep though the night without getting up multiple times to change. No more large clots. If you bleed to death every month, get these tablets!"


"I have been on bydureon for 3 injections. I was put on it to aid with weight loss cause my body doesn't produce enough insulin. I'm so happy no side effects so far, I lost 8lbs in 2 weeks and 4 days. I'm also excersizing with the injections and eating right. I'm happy I have something to help the weight loss."


"I switched to this pill from Jolessa (Seasonale generic) because I was sick of the non-stop bleeding. Sprintec did stop the bleeding within two days or so, and I haven't had any problems with it for about two weeks. However, near the end of the second week, I had some spotting. I kept taking the pill at the same time everyday, but all this did was make the bleeding worse. I've already ruined three pairs of underwear and one of my pajamas because this pill gave me the heaviest breakthrough bleed I have ever had. Every morning, I would wake up with excessive bleeding. It was that terrible, and made me anxious every time I left the house that I would bleed through my clothes. I wish I had never taken this pill."
