"A bowel movement occurs about an hour to two hours after taking the drug. It is a complete bowel movement and relieves the constipation. I suggest taking a full glass of water with it to get your system going before breakfast"


"Hello! I had the Implanon in for 8 months and after the first three weeks off getting it I got an extremly heavy period, and it didn't stop for 7 MONTHS. I also started getting more headaches and nausea always! And I'm constantly tired! It's got that bad I'm getting it taken out this week."


"No medicine has ever worked for my insomnia besides this one. It keeps my mind from racing, and keeps my emotions steady so I'm able to fall to sleep with no problems. I usually take it an hour before bedtime and then lay down, read a little bit until I'm feeling tired enough, and just close me eyes. Before this medicine I couldn't tell you the last time that I was able to fall asleep without remembering but now I don't remember falling asleep and have to worry about hours of tossing and turning. Highly recommend."


"I took the first injection in my doctor's office November 15, 2017.  It's only one week but I'm down 8 pounds and feel like this may be what I need.  I need to lose just over 100 lbs.  I feel a little nauseous at times, but the appetite has dwindled and barely any cravings.  Eating anything really sweet or sugary tastes disgusting.  I'm taking this with Invokana so I'm not sure how this all works long term.  Unfortunately, my drug insurance may not cover this.  I certainly cannot afford to pay for more than a couple of months.  I'm currently being checked for PCOS.  So whether or not that makes a difference, I'll have to wait and see.  I'm glad this available and I think this is what is going to work for me."


"I have been on this antibiotic for 6 days for pneumonia  and while the cough has slowed way down, I am having severe chest pain. I am thinking it's because when I do have a coughing fit it's violent, Brutal. I only have one more dose at 500 mg and I am worried I'm relapsing, though no high temp I feel almost like I started out. I am now trying herbal teas, garlic, Rosemary and Kombucha. I just started these so I'm praying it will all work as a team. No side effects only a little queasy!"


"I have cervical stenosis.  I can live with the varying levels of pain and discomfort through the day as long as I'm able to move around and change positions.  But lying down in bed and trying to sleep was a serious problem for me.  I couldn't fall asleep until I was really exhausted and even then I was wakened after an hour or less by pain.

My doctor prescribed Percocet 5/325.  The full tablet was a bit strong but it did the trick.  I fell asleep after ten minutes and slept for six straight hours.  I then split the tablets and take one ten minutes before lying down.  That gets me to sleep and I sleep for about four hours.  When I wake up (usually in pain) I take the other half and I'm good for the day.  That's been my regimen for two years."


"My husband got a very acute urtricaria on his whole body for 2 weeks. Nothing helped really to get rid of the burning patches. Benadryl caused more drowsiness then any help and additionally my husbands face was sweeling all over when taking Benadryl. Finally we got Allegra 180 mg pills. And just after the first Allegra pill all red patches on his skin and all swollen areas were gone for good as long as he keeps taking it twice a day 180 mg each tablet. This medicine is really great."


"I switched to this after having a bad cough with linsinopril. My BP is stable on this medication, however I do have low or borderline low sodium and potassium on this medication. Don't really have any other side effects. Just take in the morning, will make you pee!"


"I'm only on my 7th day taking Zoloft(25mg) and I do feel less anxious at times but the first day I took it I ended up having a panic attack that led to an ER trip because I thought it was a heart attack. 2nd day I had a icy/hot feeling and still do, 3rd day had bouts of diarrhea. Anyways don't let these put you off as medicine works different for everyone. My grandma takes it for depression and had no side effects, NOT FAIR! But to me it seems like I'm getting all the side effects haha. Zaps here lately really annoying almost leads to a panic attack but I let myself know its just the Zoloft/Anxiety. Also seems to be moving my legs more while sitting and grinding my teeth which I never done before."


"Viibryd has worked extremely well for me. I haven't taken any other antidepressants in the past.

One of my main concerns was the loss of sexual arousal. I'm in my early 20s and that scared me a little. I was informed Viibryd doesn't reduce your sexual arousal as much as others do.

My Psychiatrist did tell me this medicine is more expensive than other anti depressants right off the bat, even with my parents insurance plan.

I'd say one side effect of this medicine for me is that I need to take it every day. I notice a crash effect if I miss a day or take it later than I usually do in the morning.

For some reason the 30MG tablets were more expensive than the 40MG tablets."


"I'm writing again because it's been a little over a year since I posted my experience with Botox for dystonia and migraines. This past year has been truly remarkable and while I haven't been 100% migraine free or pain free, "Life is Beautiful". My doctor, God bless her, received training from Allergan on the latest protocol for migraines, so the frequency of my migraines has lessened with the new therapy. As I am writing this, I am amazed that not ONE muscle is in spasm in my neck...now the tears are starting. It's so wonderful! That's what I wanted to share.  Every time I've gotten my injections it's been a little different, but I think the variable has been me...not the Botox. Don't give up. Try it if you can."


"Cataflam is so far the only medication, OTC or otherwise, that has done anything to help with my menstrual cramps.  It allows me to function at a basically normal level during my period.  The pain is not entirely gone but Cataflam seems to keep it manageable."


"I thought my itching was bad before?!! Nothing could have prepared me for the itching that would come from using monistat 7 it's been excruciating I paid $20 to be tortured. I would not recommend this medicine to my worst enemy. My vagina is so swollen and itchy and this stuff is awful. Don't spend the money."


"Just started yesterday afternoon. Took a dose then and again this morning. No side effects at all, except that I already have very little appetite and have been in a good mood. I have to pay attention to other signs of needing nutrition now, like feeling a bit weak or lightheaded. I haven't had any hunger pains at all and am eating about 1/3 less food than I normally would."


"It makes me quite tired and somewhat confused."


"I have used Advair for the last two years and have been asthma free since then."


"Just one 12.5 mg of this and it works in about 30mins. However I get the worst anxiety attacks I have ever had! I'm not kidding. The anxiety lasts for 3 to 4 days from just one dose. It feels like I am having a heart attack or worse!  I keep thinking how do people take this stuff everyday? Today I had not had any and it was day 4. I felt great but wanted to poop fast so I could go to the beach. Forget it. In 5 hours I was right back with the heart attack. It also makes my bones hurt. If I bump into anything it feels like I broke the bone! So then I have to live with the anxiety  while putting ice on whatever I bump. I'm not even bumping anything hard. It happens when I just brush against a door. I'm going back to Magnesium powder."


"Just started belviq 1.5 weeks ago.  No changes for the positive yet.  Never been so exhausted in my life, if the fatigue continues this bad I will stop taking med."


"The pain from this medication is so much worse than any kind of infection could ever be. I want to smack the pharmacist for recommending it. Terrible burning and itching. No way I will sleep tonight "


"I am currently dying in bed. Decided to self diagnose myself this time having only one yeast infection before. I still had some prescription ketoconozol left from a few years ago, but I felt that I needed a better and faster recovery. I got the 3 day treatment. On my second night, writhing in intense pain and itching. This is so torturous. The medicine seriously needs to work.. Totally not looking forward to one more night of this "


"I suffered from this medical condition for many months. It cleared up within one day of using Elocon cream."


"I was terrified by all the bad reviews I read on here before getting this type of birth control, but after having Nexplanon in for 3 months, I absolutely love it! I haven't gained weight, I don't have any hormonal side affects, or anything like that. The only side affect I've gotten from it is that I don't get my period anymore. So if you still want to get your period every month, it probably won't happen. I do have VERY light spotting maybe twice a month and that's it. But it's so light that you technically can't even notice it. Overall I'm really glad with how it turned out.

This is the first birth control I've used and so far it's really good. I'm 19 and weight 125 pounds."


"This drug did very well for me initially, at 10mg.  My dosage over 7 years kept increasing and now I am convinced that over time this medicine will deplete your natural serotonin levels and fails to work or not work at all.  At 10mg the side effects were not that noticeable at all, but at 20 mg the side effects were much more pronounced  Especially lethargy, increased panic attacks/anxiety, weird dreams, and sexual side effects to name just a few. Everyone is different, but for me this drug worked well at a small does for about 21/2 years, then slowly stopped working to the point where I was just having side effects from the med.  Am tapering off it and feel very well so far."


"Well I must admit I was skeptical when my doctor offered this Belviq. I have tried everything under the sun without much success. I figured the first 2 weeks are free so why not? I lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks which for me is great! No side effects like the other medicine I tried. I got my next prescription which I had to pay for. My doctor has to fill out some medical necessity form for my insurance to cover it. Looking forward to losing more weight. Again no side effects! Wow!"


"I have had the implanon implant for the past 7 years. My experience has been very positive, I have had complete loss of period since getting the implant and no noticeable side effects apart from a lower sex drive which I have only discovered since getting it removed. 2 months ago I had my third implant removed after talking with my boyfriend and deciding that I no longer required birth control and would like to experience my natural body cycles again. I have had a few side effects since getting it removed but nothing too bad (some break outs, exhaustion, lack of motivation), only my period still hasn't returned yet. My doctor said it may take a few months, so hopefully it returns soon."


"Started B first in May at 208lb. Went though a bad break up and lost 8 pounds. Was not hungry at all could have been the B or being dumped. IDK. Ran out and did refill script and gained 8 pounds back maybe even one or two extra I'm now back on B and I do not really see a change in appetite I can go longer during the day without getting hungry but at the afternoon hours I'm starving and snacking on everything in sight you do get thirsty a lot which is encouraging to drink more water but I just want the weight gone so I'm still on the fence about b and I will continue to take it until this one runs out and maybe even into the new year if it doesn't work I'm getting the Lap Band and some lipo good luck all"


"Very good at relieving my hip and back pain for extended periods of time...MUCH longer than the tramadol 50 mg. Very expensive though."


"I have bipolar 2. Lamotrigene 400mg of lamotrigene has taken away anger and irritability. I was still crying over everything so my psychitrist put me on latuda 20 mg for 1 month. First week projectile vomiting every other day for a week. Saw no benefit. I was bumped to 40. Immediately I felt semi anxious. Day 5 almost had a panic attack out of the blue. This med is not right for me. It really scared me how anxious and panicky I became on 40 mg. I am stopping after I call my doctor."


"Significantly reduces my overactive bladder symptoms---very satisfied with it.  I find that the two main side effects can be neutralized with Alfuzosin (for reduced urine flow) and Metamucil wafers (for constipation).  Dry mouth occasionally occurs but is no big problem for me and can be treated by--you guessed it---sips of water.  The only issue is the expense--I'm on a Medicare Advantage program and this one drug pushes me into the "doughnut hole" of increased co-pays during the last 3 months of the year.  But what can I say?---you pay for your thrills!  Does anyone know when this drug will go generic?"


"This pill made so depressed I could not get out of bed for 6 months. It also caused all the good bacteria in my stomach to wiped out, so I would get at least 1 vaginal Yeast Infection a month. My skin became so dry it would flake off. I had no libido. My periods were little to non-existent, no cramping, but my PMS was off the charts brutal."


"Lutera left me exhausted, and I felt nauseated all the time. Yet unlike other birth controls I've tried it did not give me nasty mood swings. It made me feel calm and pleasant. My breasts grew at least another cup size, which some would consider a positive, but I've paid a lot of money for a breast reduction and do not want large breasts! So overall, it was great for my mood but left me feeling so tired and sick that I just couldn't stay on it."


"I have been taking invokana for about a year and a half now after taking 1000mg of metformin daily and levemir and humalog daily. The metformin and insulin was not working as well as Dr. wanted it to so I was switched to the extended release metformin 1000mg twice a day and added invokana 100mg. I have since been able to go completely off of the two insulin pens and my sugars have been in normal range. I have lost a little bit of weight but I have developed a horrible  itch and yeast infection that will not go away. I was given diflucan a while ago but it didn't help. I have also recently noticed that I have been losing a ton of hair. I literally get handfuls of hair after a shower and am pulling handfuls out of my brush every time I brush."


"I have had hypothyroidism for over twenty years now. Took high levels of Synthroid for years and felt ok but not perfect. Started Cytomel 3 years ago, regulated dosage until it was just right. It takes a little time to regulate it to your exact dosage but be patient, it's worth it."


"I also have a long family line of bad skin. My doctor put my on Retin-A and Yasmin and my skin has never looked better!! I now get compliments on my skin. Yasmin rules!!"


"I stopped taking Incivek 3 days ago and I am itching, itching, itching.  My eyelids, hands, feet, legs, every area on my body itches.  I took a Benadryl and the itching went away and came back.  Am I having withdrawals from Incivek? No complaints though, just wondering because this medicine is a miracle.  I am now Hep C free.   Just hoping the itching would stop soon."


"This seemed like a great idea at first. Not having to remember the pill and still reaping the benefits of no PMS symptoms and no pregnancy. This turned out to be a horrible idea.... I gained a substantial amount of weight even though my lifestyle has not changed and I am constantly having breakthrough bleeding. I am getting mine removed. "


"I have had heavy periods for the last few years, and it has affected my quality of life. I talked to my doctor and at his suggestion, even though I had previously had an IUD (which caused 3 months non stop bleeding before falling out) and pills (which caused severe stomach upset and in one case an allergic reaction) at his recommendation I got the depo shot.  For the first 2 weeks everything seemed great.  Then it started.. non stop bleeding.  Again.  I am 9 weeks in and I've been bleeding 7 weeks straight.  I am SO sick of it.  Been trying ibuprofine to slow it down.  I had to quit my job and go back to my old career.  The doc wants to put me on a 2nd form of bc to stop it.  I won't let him.  I pray it wears off here in about 3 weeks."


"I've been suffering with really bad acne since the removal of my implant about three months ago. I tried all the over the counter 'remedies' and face washes etc with no success. I have incredibly sensitive skin so was worried about using it at first. I'm in day three now (early days I know) however I couldn't be more happy with it, my skin is so much clearer! All my spots have dried out and I haven't had any new ones since using it. When I wake up my skin can be a bit dry but my Dr said just give it a good soak in the shower every morning and it will be fine. Which I have and it really helps. Overall very happy with the product so far, feeling a lot more confident with my skin."


"Holy cats. I took it at around midnight. Woke up at 8 the next morning feeling off by 9 I was vomiting a bloodlike substance and was cramping so bad I felt like I was dying. After the third or fourth round of violent vomiting to the point I had urinated on myself my fiance called 911. I was soaking wet dripping with sweat and he said he was afraid I was dying because I turned grey. I  scheduled for an endoscopy next week but after reading the other experiences on here I will certainly be talking to my newly acquired gastro doc to see if this innocuous pink pill could have reaked this much havoc. The emt thought I might have been having a heart attack it was rather terrifying. I  am just now putting the pieces of this puzzle together."


"I have been taking bactrim now for about a week n a half for a uti, and mrsa. I am sure it's workin because the kidney pain has subsided however the nausea is so crucial it's like the worst nausea I've ever had in my life. Not to mention headache and chills. Ugh I don't know if it's worth it"


"Before starting this medication, I had horrible menstrual cycles & bad symptoms such as neck pain, back pain, heavy bleeding, cramps, mood swings & hot flashes. I would also sleep about 15 hours per day. When I started this pill, it took away most of those unbearable symptoms, HOWEVER, now I've been on my period for 11 days straight."


"I had been in remission for 20 years and then had a flair up like never before. I refuse to take any steroid based medicines due to the side effects and advised my Doctor of that. He started me on 4 pills of Lialda a day and within 1 week all of my symptoms where gone. I am now taking 2 pills a day and remain symptom free with absolutely no side effects. "


"This product is ridiculous...sure its easy but it is ridiculously expensive even with the bogus 'coupon'. My daughter still had eggs hatching after using this product and after reading all the information in the box, I found out that its not even SAFE ENOUGH TO USE IT AGAIN?! WHAT?! My doctor did not tell me that I was putting an unsafe treatment on my child's head. We went to see another pediatrician who suggested another 'easy to use' medicine called Natroba. Paid $15 dollars for it and it worked like a charm. I wish I had known about this before wasting time and money on this joke of a product called sklice. Ugh."


"I mainly took this pill because combination pills made my blood pressure sky rocket. I loved it at first. After the first month I had no period. Them about 4 months into it I was bleeding for two weeks straight. I developed an ovarian cyst while on this. And it was rupturing. I immediately stopped this pill. Never had a cyst before in my life. Now I'm back on seasonique and on BP meds."


"It's not for me at all. Last night was the worst night of my life, it started about two weeks into taking Lexapro my friends and family said that they noticed changes but I felt more depressed than I have ever felt. The next two weeks into it I started feeling really off balance and trembly. Then last night happened, without warning, without a trigger, as I was trying to fall asleep I started getting lost in my head. I was forgetting how to think and I was forgetting words. It terrified me. "


"Works sooo good!  Had a UTI and after 2 days of taking it it went away and even cured some other things!  Glad they recommended me these."


"I took the medicine for the first time last night 4/2/16, I was given the medication because I had an allergic reaction to Topamax. Amerge made me really sleepy, a little dizzy, draining ears and really bad heartburn. I'm not pleased with having these side effects especially not the nasty heartburn or the draining ears which are very itchy.  The medication did work for me but I can't give it a 10 star due to the side effects. I'm not so sure that I would take this on a regular basis. If I do, I'm definitely going to take Zantac prior to taking the medication."


"I was on depo provera from the ages of 15-18. Pros: not pregnant, no periods at all. Cons: I gained 40 pounds. I couldn't get lubricated for sex very easily. My breasts lost sensitivity. When coming off of depo provera (in hopes to stop steadily gaining weight) I had sexual dreams where I would actually orgasm and they were so painful I would wake up. It felt like my uterus was being crushed and this pain would last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. When I told my doctor of this problem she looked at me like I was crazy... The benefits do not make up for the horrible side effects I experienced. Not recommended."


"Have been on Singulair since it came on the market in Aust years ago.  I call it my Magic pill with no obvious side effects despite having many other allergies. I didn't find it helped my hay fever though so take 1/2an antihistamine as well in summer when humid and winter when smoke from fires around.  I went from high dose cortisone puffers and using Ventolin most of the day still being breathless and wheezing all the time to breathing free within 4 days of starting and off all puffers within the week.  Due to cost about a year in was running out so cut down to 1/2 tablet which still left me free of the asthma so then tried a 1/4 and found this still worked, so have continued on this since then.  ( to be continued as not enough space)"


"I'm 48 and I was diagnosed with genital herpes when I was 35. I started dating a new guy and within 2 weeks I felt horrible burning when I urinated. I went to my midwives and sure enough I had herpes. Funny thing is I wasn't with anyone prior to him and I was with him for 6 years and not once did he ever test positive. They actually claim I could have had it on my face touched it and touched my genitals without washing my hands and transferred it. The outbreaks are less and less over the years but when I feel one coming I take acyclovir 500mg 2x daily. It helps right away. And I use a squirt bottle with warm water as I urinated to help reduce the burning."


"Amazing difference in appearance in less than a month. I started breaking out about senior year in high school and it got progressively worse. Although makeup covered a lot of it, I never let anyone touch my face and dreaded having to go in the water and risk having my makeup rinsed off. Now my skin is 100% smooth and even after weening off of the pill to every other day I have not had a single blemish."


"The only few problems consists of drowsiness which is better than having seizures.  Another important issue is dosing. You most take every days worth or it can lead to an aura or a full fledged seizure which can effect drivers licences (loss of 2 years). "


"I suffered with trigeminal neuralgia for over a year before I was diagnosed. They call it "the suicide disease" for a good reason. Such awful pain on the left side of my face, like someone had taken a club and hit me on the side of my head. At times it also felt like a hot poker was lying on my teeth. All I could do was go in a dark, quiet room. Sometimes sound would set it off, but usually it would just happen all by itself. I had tooth fillings taken out, dental X-rays done, trying to find the cause. It's a rare disease. The doctor gave me 600mg Horizant ER samples and I took (1) a day after dinner at 4. It worked! Then they tried to fill my prescription with generic Gabapentin at the pharmacy. No good! Didn't work! Back on Horizant. :)"


"Tramadol used on top of my Fioricet, or Midrin. For head ache was somewhat effective. Used when the pain of the head ache  has reached a point where I'm on the verge of nausea, and vomiting, once the other baseline abortives have failed. When used with the Fioricet/Codeine it works quite well, at knocking it out, otherwise just Tramadol even at doses of 200mg is only a dent in the pain."


"I've had this birth control for about 3 months, no problem. No mood swings, no drastic weight gain, acne etc. The insertion was quick and healed rather fast. The only thing was my body had to adjust to it the first couple of days after insertion.  I had minor stomach cramps (coming from a person who never had menstrual cramps) . Definitely satisfied with nexplanon so far- I often time forget its in my arm."


"Started taking Adipex-P 4 weeks ago. Cons: Constipation and really bad bouts of Insomnia - better as time has gone on. Do not take with a blood pressure pill/water pill - you will feel like crap and your heart will try to burst through your ribcage.
Pros:  Lost 31 pounds.  17 pounds - yes 17 pounds in 1 week though I do attribute that to the Adipex-P   Blood Pressure/water pill. I found I could not take both at the same time or on the same day so I stopped taking the blood pressure pill. My blood pressure is down to where it should be.
Working out 4-5 times a week. 4-5 miles of cardio per workout plus weights. Probably cut my daily calorie intake by half.

I plan on taking the pill for a max of 3 months so by summer I should be off the pill but still have a more active life."


"Cheap, short term only, good for a couple of hours of moderate pain relief. Taking 3-5 of 7.5/325 a day with the Butrans patch. With this combination at there maximum effectiveness brings my knee and hip pain from a 7-9 to a 3-4. Only downside of the hydrocodone is mild constipation and slight drowsiness."


"I suffer with severe atopic dermatitis. I went to several dermatologist before they could figure out my condition. I tried several creams and ointments but they all burned and made the skin red and swollen. Then it would all flake away n become inflammed again. In 5 days of using elidel my skin is clearer than it's been in months! It doesn't burn going on the skin (I keep it in the fridge) n it feels smooth going on. Definitely apply a moisturizer after application. Elidel has been a God  send!! I hope it works for everyone else. Elidel is very expensive."


"Doctor prescribed me naproxen sodium since I have endometriosis and it helps my cramps a lot.  My cramps before were so bad they made me stay in bed and made me nauseous. This stops/slows the cramps thus eliminating all my other period pains. Definitely recommend this to other women with the same problem."


"Took myself off of the drug because my BP was at pre-hypertension, and I had this constant dry cough.  I used to have horrible leg cramps at night....no matter how much water I drank before bed.  I never use salt or eat salty foods; the doctor said to eat more bananas.  I never made the connection to the cramps and the meds, and my doctor did not, either.   Well...I wondered why I haven't had any leg cramps in months, and my boyfriend said "you stopped taking your blood pressure medicine".   Duh!"


"Have had Fibromyalgia for 17 years, just diagnosed this year. Was prescribed Ultram for worst pain days. Almost completely takes the pain away with 100mg. Little to no side effects. First couple times I took it, I felt a little drowsy. I am very happy that my rheumatologist recommended this medication. To get some pain relief and still feel like myself is all I could hoped for! Would recommend."


"Currently on day 5 of 7, laying in bed miserable from the itchy burning feeling. I'd much rather deal with the YI until I see my gynecologist than use this another day. I thought as the days went by it would lessen but I can't sleep I'm on the verge of tears. I don't know how women are expected to deal with this. I'm so surprised to see so many others dealing with this also. I use the one from family dollar whatever the store brand one is and it never hurt and worked great but the name brand monistat 7 day is the one I'm using now and I can't deal with this at all.  Never again!  :("


"I was on accutane for a little over 6 months. I started at 30mgs/day, but became suicidal and had severe joint pain so my doc dropped me to 20mgs/day. I was able to handle the dryness and sun sensitivity. Ultimately I stopped taking it early because it dried out my lungs and (although I can't prove it) I believe my new diagnosis of asthma is due to the accutane. I suffered from horrible chest pain for over a month before figuring out it was the accutane. Once I stopped, the chest pain went away, but the asthma has not gone away. It did completely clear up my skin, but I don't know if it was worth it. I've been off for 3 months now and I have a little acne again, but it's not anywhere near as bad as it was before."


"I started on Qsymia 4/26/2015, at my yearly checkup. I am a 55 yr old female, and am post menopausal, and have hit a road block when it comes to losing weight. My Dr. said I am in wonderful health and was not concerned with my 5'9'' 264lb body. At my request, she told me about Qsymia and suggested that I try it for an added boost , since I do exercise and eat healthy already but was not seeing results like I should be seeing. She prescribed the low 2 week starter dose. I have only been taking for 5 days but already have seen success. 5lbs. lost, with no side affects. Only thing was 1 day when I did not eat enough and I went for my 30 min walk, I about passed out, weak legs, dizzy, and fast heart rate due to not eating. Will make sure to eat."


"I would only take malarone, knowing that the FDA recently put a black box warning on mefloquine, but malarone is really messing me up.  I live in Africa and will be for the next couple of years.  Malarone is causing me to have horrific insomnia, some hallucinations and muscle contractions.  My stomach pain I can deal with along with the back pain.  The insomnia is killing me, though.  I can't work, I walk around like a zombie.  I'm going to take my chances with malaria.  No more pills for me."


"I started off taking 25mg Trazodone and eventually worked my way up to 75mg which I was on for about 2 months. Trazodone worked great for helping me fall and stay asleep throughout the night without waking up from panic attacks. It made me feel relaxed and I never felt the need for Xanax which was the case prior to taking Trazodone. However, getting off Trazodone was rough. The first week off, I had two panic attacks at night even while on an SSRI. After that I became more stable but experiencing those few panic attacks after getting off wasn't fun."


"My husband's thought process has improved greatly. He also has more energy and less depression. He feels better."


"It's great birth control because your husband will never want to have sex with you when you are bleeding for 3 straight months. I had nexplanon in for 3 months and bled the entire time. A romantic vacation was ruined along with countless pairs of underwear. I have never spent so much money in such a short time for tampons,pads and panty liners in my life because I never knew what type of flow I was going to have besides a constant one. I'm 35 and never felt more like a teenager because of horrible spotting, break outs and no sex.  I thought this would be a great alternative but it has put a definite strain on my day to day life. Now I am back in birth control and still bleeding."


"Next to Frova (which is, to me, the miracle drug), Maxalt-MLT has been by far the most helpful triptan migraine medication. And it's also quite convenient, as it dissolves in your mouth (without having a horrible taste, even)."


"This medicine is horrible for me. The first time I took it, I felt it 20 minutes after. I had random spot pains all over my body, insomnia, throwing up, dizziness, my limbs went numb, and my already diagnosed anxiety and depression got 10x worse. I could not rest, it felt like my body was going 100 mph. I had horrible mood swings and it affected my relationship even though he understood. I felt very angry and hostile I cried over almost anything with terrible migraines and canker sores. I also got blood clots. I am 95 pounds. I would not recommend this to anyone."


"I caught flu last week and after 4 days of congestion to the point I thought my head would explode, I took some double strength Mucinex. The pharmacist told me it was as strong as 12 cough syrups and to take it before I went to bed that very night, but after coming here first and reading reviews which claim insomnia, I decided to take it the next morning.
Wow! I can breath out of my nose and I'm definitely feeling a lot better. The only problem is that it seems to have some sort of peppy ingredient in it which dries you out quickly if you're not actively drinking through the day. Still, a million times better than Lemsip!"


"I've been taking 400mg of Lamictal a day for about 3 years now and my doctor suggested adding Latuda to the mix. When I first started taking 40 mg of Latuda I was getting a headache, which made me panic. So we cut it down to 10mg twice a week and it seems to be working well. Just enough to get by. As posted earlier I felt it kind of hard to get up in the morning when taking Latuda at night. I take it before bed in fear of having that panicky headache thing going on again."


"Very good"


"NEVER HAD AN ANXIETY ATTACK AFTER LEXAPRO. I used to have very severe anxiety , and I had to go to hospital multiple times thinking I had heart attacks.  I had hot/cold flashes, chest pains, pounding heart, couldn’t breathe, dizziness.... unfortunately I got off of it to take a pill for my Tourette’s syndrome a few weeks ago and my anxiety came back and the new pill made me sick , so now my anxiety is back badly and I had to go to hospital multiple times thinking I had heart issues again... just got put back on lexipro a week ago hasn’t started working yet I hope it kicks in :( I also took buspar with lexapro before it is a second anxiety pill and u can take them together ."


"This works quite well for me.  I don't know if anyone else uses it or had adult onset growth hormone deficiency and also developed this condition from Gulf War Syndrome.  When I started taking the Humatrope, my bone density went from a -4 to a -2.3 and hopefully is still going up.  My focus and concentration improved and my irritability and my energy level went way up!

I have been using it for about 5 years now and didn't know I had it until my urologist started listing reasons for severe osteoporosis and it turns out that I had adult onset growth hormone deficiency.

Good luck to all.  Hopefully Stem Cell technology can be used to help cure/fix us!"


"My Dr agreed to over see putting me on Qsymia because he watched as I devotedly pursued everything else to no avail. I have now been on this for 1 week and have dropped 3 lbs. I have 60 to go and have all the patience in the world as long as I see progress. I do get tired midday laydown, ten minutes get up, I do get constipated but take those probiotic gummies that seem to help. I crave sweet but nothing really sounds good. I plan to start walking just a mile daily."


"33 year old Male, affected by anxiety and bouts of depression all my life.  Went through a bad breakup in '10 and was severely depressed, got on 50mg of Sertraline and took for 4 months after experiencing horrible panic attacks and suicidal thoughts after trying Lexapro.  Earlier this year had another fall into anxiety and depression, started on 50mg of Sertraline and experienced diarrhea, panic attacks, nausea, sweating, insomnia, mood swings, fatigue, etc during the first couple weeks.  After 5 weeks I am feeling much better and just upped the dosage to 75mg.  I experienced about 10-15 lbs weight loss in the first 2-3 weeks from not being able to eat but otherwise the only side effects are slight loss of sexual desire and sensitivity."


"I've been using the pen consistently now for about 10 weeks. I haven't noticed any major side effects. I've only lost about 6 lbs but hey its a work in progress. The best part is my A1C has went down from 10.9 to 9.2 now recently 7.1. Only major issue is the needle is so thick and it hurts, also sometimes the medicine doesn't want to come out so I have to stick myself again and use up another needle tip."


"I had a very severe reaction to the drug.  It started after two doses (1 day).  My skin erupted in small blisters.  That night the whole of my skin erupted with not only the blisters but also very large welts and extreme reddening of the skin all over my body all of which itched more than I have ever experienced before.  In the middle of the night I took a bath to try to alleviate the itching.  It didn't.  I then took an anti histamine which controlled the itching but only now after a week have the blisters finally started to disappear, even though I only took two doses of the drug.  It was an extremely unpleasant and frightening experience."


"I love Methocarbamol. I tend to have muscle spasms that cramp my body in horrific way. Thanks to Methocarbamol, not only did I feel well enough to crawl out of bed, I bowled my best game ever while on it! I had to get a ride to the bowling alley, because I was a little too spacey to get there myself."


"I was put on 2.5 mg every night of saphris, about 2 weeks ago. It has been utter hell for me. Not only Did it make my tactile hallucinations worse, it caused more problems than before. I've had to go to the ER. I'm more agitated than before. I'm bipolar. Isn't this a bipolar med? I'm not schizophrenic. And what's worse is that even though I'm on the lowest possible dose and only taking once a day, after stopping it IM STILL GETTING WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS! And not small ones. Like I said before I had to go to the ER. I'm drinking a lot of water but I still had a extremely low amount of electrolytes. I ended up using two full bags of fluid. This drug is not safe. It does more harm than good."


"Works great but expensive."


"Our dog got it for the pain caused by syringomyelia. It improved its condition, but sometimes he needed additional painkillers for his headache."


"2.3 years ago I inserted Mirena to reduce the amount of bleeding. But I am bleeding even now.  "NEVER STOP""


"I have CRPS stage 3 in my left arm and left foot.  I started on 16mg a day of exalgo, then up to 12 2xday, now 16 2xday for 32mg a day.  I found the 2x a day was the key for this medicine since its takes a long time to start so the next dose 12 hours apart really helped.  I'm just starting the 32mg a day since my crps spread to my entire left arm so I'm hoping I don't eventually get to the 32mg 2x/day.. has anyone else taken that much?"


"I had a negative reaction to Dilaudid after a surgical procedure.  It made me itch horribly and my mouth broke out on the inside.  I had to stop taking it after two days when the palms of my hands and bottom of my feet were itching like crazy.  I was then prescribed Ultram which made me so nauseous I had to go to bed.  I finally just quit the pain medicines after four days and coasted along with ibuprofen until I was over the surgery completely."


"I've had 10 surgeries on both of my legs. I just started going to a doctor this month and they gave me roxys. They work more than any other medicine out there. I'm so happy I can now take my son for a walk and do things that I couldn't before. I want to thank my doc for taking my pain away."


"I started Contrave March 1 and as of March 19 I'm down 15 pounds! I'm very pleased with that amount of weight lost. I have not had any side effects so far! So I will continue on. I will check back later and give you an update what the full one month total weight lose was."


"I have had the Mirena for a little over 2 years. At first it was a real pain! It hurt so bad to have placed and I had a heavy period for almost 2 months straight. But then the bleeding stopped completely. Overall, I really like having it. It has helped me have fewer migraines, it is so great to not have a period and love not having to worry about getting pregnant. However, I do have bloating, painful cramping every few weeks, and I've just started having some back pain which I think may be connected. Right now I can tolerate the side effects for the benefits it gives. I have thought about getting it taken out, but I really don't want to go back to horrible migraines or any other form of birth control."


"Have been on Forteo almost four months. At first I had mild nausea and my appetite was down. But now my body has adjusted to it. Compared to all the other medications I tried... the side effects were nonexistant! Hope to get a good report on my next bone density test."


"I was told by my physician after tests that I had pneumonia. He gave me a shot of rocephin. The next morning I was almost back to normal, except for having a very sore butt. I feel much better."


"I have to say that Contrave works. I have been on this medication since the beginning of December. I didn't have any of the side effects in the beginning. I have lost approximately 20 lbs at this point. I have no more cravings for coffee or sweets. I no longer like the taste of wine, which I recently discovered. I try to take the dosages 12 hours apart and have learned not to take it on an empty stomach. Within the past 2 weeks I have had bouts of nausea and vomiting. I am fine after that but absolutely think it has something to do with my stomach not tolerating acidic foods, unusual for me. I have learned to have a different relationship with food. I now eat to live instead of living to eat."


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about two years ago after nearly five years of suffering. No doctors could find anything wrong with me and so for a long time I actually thought I was losing my mind! My doctor put me on Vicoprofen but it only helped a little. Finally he gave me Percocet and for the first time in years, I finally have some relief. I can't take Savella or Lyrica and so this medicine is a God send! Of course my doctor didn't want to give it to me but I explained to him that he wasn't the one who couldn't even get out of bed on most days. It also helped with my MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) along with the Prozac. It is the best thing that could ever have happened to me."


"I've had increasingly annoying symptoms for years. In the past, I've tried other medications (Uroxitrol and FloMax) and had some improvement in voiding my bladder and a somewhat increased stream. However the side effects were unpleasant. My blood pressure dropped severely and standing up from a sitting position would cause extreme dizziness from hypotension. So I stopped taking them and the symptoms went away.

Recently my problems voiding became significant, so I went to see the urologist again. He prescribed Rapaflo. I had immediate relief. Within a couple of hours I noticed a difference. It's been two weeks and I'm noticing a bit of a decline in flow, so I'm going to ask if there is a slightly higher dose. No unpleasant side effects yet."


"I am 51 years old and had been smoking since I was 14 years old. About a pack or so a day. I have been taking Chantix for 3 weeks. Unbelievable results so far. It's like I had never been a smoker before. Yes there are dreams but not Night Terrors just dreams about people in my life or people I would like to have in my life. I absolutely highly recommend this medicine if you WANT to quit. It's awesome! My wife is on it as well and she would echo my comments here too."


"I love this birth control. The only problem I have is just the side effects I just hope that it will go away soon. I been on my period for 3weeks and 3 days I read some people comments and they said they had a period for a long time but only spotting, mines is like that but hoping it come off soon. I been on all the types of birth control and I think this one is the best for me so far."


"I went to the doctor for lower back pain/leg pain and I knew I was overweight from keeping the baby weight on from 1 year ago. He suggested Adipex to help get me motivated. I started the pill the end of February at 191 (5'10) and by the end of July I am now 144. I went off the pill for 2 months in May/June. Now on it again for just a couple months. I will take a break over the winter and see how I do. I found out that I lost more weight when I did not work out. Now I am starting to work out to tone up.  Love the new me."


"Works fine. I missed about 5 days and it showed on my lab work."


"At age 48 and good health, I took Atorvastatin/10mg for 1 year without symptoms.  It lowered my bad cholesterol.  Near the 1st year, I began experiencing significant/unusual leg weakness and knee pain when standing from a kneeling position.  It got to the point that I always needed to brace myself on the sofa or coffee table when getting up after playing with my dog or toddler son.  Rising from my desk required a push on the desk top.  Then weakness and pain to my finger/shoulder joints and a "forgetfulness."  Overall, I felt "Rickety."  My MD said to stay on it.  I decided otherwise and went off cold turkey one day.  I've been off 2 years and I feel normal again, except for residual and reduced effect on my shoulder and hands."


"Aczone is a mediocre and overpriced topical medication, distributed by a greedy pharmaceutical company named Allergan. Spend your money on a better product that doesn't cost you $900/year (with insurance!!!) I'm switching back to Finacea, which is just as good on my skin and doesn't break the bank."


"I'm taking methimazole for about 4 months and already experienced side effects.  I have a very bad burning in my tongue and mouth. My teeth have become very sensitive and I have headaches every day. I told my doctor 2 times about this. He just runs the same tests on me and he finds nothing. I think is this medicine that's making all of this, but he just doesn't listen. I need help cause this side effects are killing me!!!!"


"I started having panic attacks 3 years ago when going through deaths in the family and the ending of my marriage, to being a single Mom.
I just could not cope with it any longer I can't tell you the trips to the ER. Just to be gave a lorazepam.
My doctor tried other benzo's but they just did not help the sudden attacks. They have upped my dose.
But at this point Xanax is a life saver and I don't know what I would do without them. The only draw back is the half life they wear off to soon and I will not take another dose until time to take it again, those few hours are not good. But 2 and 1/2 milligrams a day is far as I will take this. I have been on benzodiazepines for three years and that scares me, but not like the panic attack, those make you feel like your having a heart-attack or worse. I have had some that I really did not think I was going to live through.
So my Xanax stays until I can get off them when the stress is gone and a taper off, never suddenly go off them it could be very dangerous. A taper down is best but from what I have heard it's not pleasant."


"I was on this For 5 YEARS UNTIL My DOCOTR MADE ME Get Off SINCE THIS CAUSES low bone density. I regret being on it so long but was scared to try anything else and get pregnant.

Pros- no periods/cramps and no pregnancy

Cons-weight gain. I was a soccer player my entire high school career and walked everywhere. I gained 40 pounds in 5 year period. 20 pounds first year. It didn't stop. I went from 150 lbs to 206. At this point I wanted to get off and I reached 5 year limit.

I HIGHLY DO NOT RECCOMMEND"


"Had to stop due to worsening cough that I never had before.  Cough has not gone away since stopped taking 4 weeks ago."


"I've been on Copaxone since January 2012. I was diagnosed Dec. 2011. Copaxone has give me energy to do my daily duties. I still have a day or 2 in bed from time to time. The key to Copaxone working is to keep those D3 vitamin levels up. I go to pain management for combination of degeneration & Multiple Sclerosis pain. Family is a comfort & very needed for the emotional comfort of the disease. You have to balance medicine, family, God, love & friends. All of the above is a prescription to help manage MS more comfortably. Hope this will help others. Copaxone has been a real winner for me."


"I have just started to use Elavil - this is my third day of taking this medication and I already feel a little better."


"You are not going to get immediate results with Testopel.  It took me 17 days last time before I felt like a champ.  You just have to give Testopel some time and you will throw rocks at gels and shots.  I have insurance that pays for most all of mine but I would definitely not be on Testopel if I didn't just because it cost so much."


"I went straight on Triumeq a couple of months of being diagnosed with HIV :( I started taking them in January it is now March and I am undetectable (yay) I did have a low viral count but still.

 I haven't had any bad side effects.  At first I took them in the morning, but thought they were making me feel a bit sick, so to be safe, I switched to taking them at bedtime, since then not a single issue for me, no night terrors, no sickness, nothing. Pop the pill and sleep :)

In UK this wasn't the first drug prescribed by my doctor, but due to other factors it was decided to try Triumeq. It may be worth asking about it and it comes free on the NHS."


"I just got back on it but use to take it for years and I was happiest when on Zoloft."


"If I could give this a ZERO I would.

Poison, complete poison. Do your children a favor and yourself, do not EVER get this shot..

I have been off of te medicine for over 7 years now and the effects are still rolling. I now receieve cycles for THREE months long! Every time. And don't receieve the cycle for at least 3-4 months.

The clotting is the size of my hand, multiple times, daily... The bleeding is so abnormal, no one should ever have to deal with the amount of blood... Doctors can't do anything they state besides give me more pills, I don't want anymore medication, going herbal."


"Have never experienced such a high quality of sleep since 8 years, was very promising.
Experienced night sweats and vivid dreams at the beginning . But I didn't mind at all because I thought finally I can stop taking benzos and go with this healthier alternative.
After the 3rd day and increasing with each day, my preexisting stuttering condition worsened significantly and I began to experience severe anxiety and felt dizzy during the day. My doctor saw me during treatment and a week after stopping and was shocked at how much my stuttering decreased and anxiety reduction.
I am so disappointed it didn't work for me. I still recommend people try it."


"So far so good, but there has been more than a few times I "hands down" just KNEW I was pregnant., but I never am....(thank goodness). I don't know why this happens and it is quite scary. I get moody, have tender breasts and get fluffy around the middle. It's so odd! And thank God I'm not a betting woman because I have been so sure I was expecting, that if someone asked me to be all of my money I would have. I'm having one of those times now and I still have 2 weeks to go for Aunt Flo.... UGH!

I give Paragard a 9 just because of the anxiety I get from occasionally assuming I am expecting."


"Hi guys! (Insertion Experience)
14. November 2017

First of all im a 25y old who never had a child. I just had the Kyleena inserted 2 hours ago and I was terrified and anxious about it. I did the worst thing you could possible imagine.. reading all the bad reviews of course! This only made me even more nervous about the insertion.

I prepared for a nightmare and took 1000mg of regular painkillers and 400mg of Ibuprofen an hour before the insertion.

It didn’t hurt AT ALL.. They gave me some numbing shots prior to the insertion and it wasn’t painfull at all! I barely felt it. Would even call it uncomfortable. Now I’m cramping a bit.

Don’t let the bad reviews get into your head!

100% recommend! "


"I am ready to get OFF this pill. I have been on this pill now for a year and some change. I want to get back on my lower dosage because this pill is just horrible to me. I have been on BC pills for 10 years and never experienced what I am going through right now. I gained 20lbs and changed NOTHING with my healthy eating habits, my migraines got so SUPER BAD I had to get a MRI to make sure everything was okay. I am usually nauseated and I SPOT A LOT. 3 WEEKS out of month I am spotting or lightly bleeding with some bad ass cramps, I have my appt Thursday and I am ready to be done with this!!"


"About 2 years ago, I was prescribed Remeron. I immediately got my appetite back. But then unfortunately about a week later my legs, ankles, feet, hands, and wrists were terribly swollen. So much that it hurt to walk. The doctor told me to stop taking it and the swelling went away."


"It's been 2 months and overall my experience has been positive.No period or spotting just a few acne break outs here and there.No weight gain or crazy appetite.I barely eat and i don't habe mood swings . It was sore for.a few weeks but now its not noticeable at all ..love it will do.it against if removal goes smoothly."


"Been very patient with this medication with high hopes but after 6 months I stopped as I only lost 3 lbs. For whatever reason I couldn't resist the binges. Appetite seemed about the same so maybe I just have to focus more on more natural methods."


"Hello everyone and thank you for sharing your stories. I have been on Invokana for two weeks. After the first day I started to itch. I ran out and brought monistat 7. After that I returned to the doctor a day later and found that I had lost 6 lbs! Since that time I have lost an additional 10 lbs. I know that this will not continue for long but I am excited. I am utilizing myfitnesspal to track my calories, I am eating a well balanced diet. I am adding exercising bit by bit since I have issues with my lungs. I am excited and hopeful that I can soon be off of all medications. I take 2000 of metformin a day, 5 mg of glipizide, and 100mg Invokana everyday. My levels are great now. I did have horrible stomachaches until yesterday."


"This medication worked great as far as my mental state. It actually worked, which is something that no other medicine had done for me. On the downside, I began to swell or retain fluids extremely bad. I was several months into taking the medicine before the swelling was noticeable, therefore I didn't suspect that it was this medication. I got to the point where I couldn't twist the lid off a bottle or hardly bear the weight of standing on my feet. The swelling was intermittent with the worst cases being in the morning after waking up. Some days it was extremely bad and others it was mild.  After 4 doctors assessed me and found nothing, I checked for side effects of Remeron. Swelling of hands and feet is listed."


"Dampened my cough as soon as it was consumed and soon after completely got rid of the cough."


"I started Loestrin 24 a few months ago and was nervous about some side effects I've always heard of from the pill. I was nauseous for only the 1st week, and only got my period for 2 days and had zero cramps even though I used to have to take 3 Advil for the 1st 3 days of my period. No weight gain, only in my breasts (grew a cup size). HOWEVER, this pill made me break out horribly. I've always broken out a little before my period, but while on this I got multiple huge cysts on my chin and under my nose before my period and my cheeks which have never broken out before were breaking out as well. Really no side effects but the acne was enough to make me go off of it."


"Took this for a bladder and kidney infection for 7 days, cleared up my infection and offered instant relief after 1 day. I am normally prone to gastro problems with antibiotics but didn't have any problems with thus one. The only side effect was it affected my sleep, after a few hours I'd wake up and couldn't get back to sleep every night while taking it. Also had anxiety dreams which I don't normally have."


"I started taking naltrexone about 3 days ago. 6 1/2 weeks ago, I began detox/withdrawal in an inpatient setting for anorexia. I could have never gone from a fifth of vodka a day for 2+ years without this medical intervention.

After detoxing with librium I started campral (still in inpatient with no access to alcohol). I started naltrexoneon in addition to campral (and other meds for bipolar, anxiety, depression) 3 days ago. I returned home today and I'm sad to admit I chugged about 1/4 bottle, not remembering I was on naltrexone. I recognize that I'm quite heavy headed but I feel bored and lethargic rather than uninhibited as i normally would.

I am so happy to have access to a drug to take away the influence alcohol had on my life."


"I was taking 200mg over 3 days. On the second day I got horrendous neck ache, ear ache and a sore throat. I stopped taking it but the symptoms carried on. I'm going back to the doctors today for something else."


"Does not work if you're a real smoker 35 year's or more this is not for you."


"I have had the Implanon since October 2009 and since then I have gained 50  pounds. I was 189 and have gotten up to 232 pounds. Far as the pregnancy thing goes I will give it a 10 because I didn't get pregnant. I would not recommend this method if you are borderline obese because you will more than likely gain weight."


"This gave me and upset stomach and I can't sleep no matter how exhausted I am.  I have been up an entire night....."


"My PCP doc had increased the amount of Oxycontin I take from 2 to 3 a day when they changed the formula in order to get the same amount of relief. The down side was he said I was maxed out on my pain meds now and took away my meds for break through pain. He suggested seeing a pain management doctor after a car accident that was making break through pain unbearable. The pain doc started me on a P-STIM and wanted me to try the Subsys. With such severe pain I agreed to it. I will never look back at my decision to try it as it has been a life saver for me and will take my pain from a 10 to a 2 very quickly. The only set back I can see is you have to wait a 1/2 hour before you can do another spray."


"I have lost 88 pounds in 10 months. I had some drowsiness and increased sweating at first but improved within a few weeks.. A small price to pay for the overall improvement in my quality of life. I believe the effectiveness depends upon the underlying reason for obesity. naltrexone lowers cravings and improves addictive behavior. My problem was the compulsion to binge eat high calorie foods. I don't know how effective it would be on obesity for other underlying reasons, which may explain why it works for some and not for others. My life has improved and I can do things I have been unable to do in years. Very pleased!"


"I have Barrett's Disease. This helps the pain somewhat but doesn't make me feel well or have an appetite.  Maybe not compatible with other medicines.  "


"My eyes tear constantly, I also have plugs in both eyes that don't seem to be helping. So far Restasis hasn't helped at all. All the Dr says is keep using it. I'm very frustrated. I don't know what to do."


"The longer I take it the more I bleed. I've had unexplained hair loss. I've been on it for several months now. The first two months were fine then the next two I had two full periods a month now I'm having three with no end in site of when I'll stop bleeding."


"Being 32 and having cancer four times, I realized that I had a serious anxiety disorder. I did not believe in a "pill" but eventually, I realized that something had to change. I tried Welbutrin for a while, which made me feel bipolar and then I switched to Lexapro for several years. The problem with Lexapro was that I didn't feel anything good or bad. I know that you might think that's a blessing, but it's truly not. After gaining over 20 pounds, my doctor suggested that I switch to Cymbalta, which I was very nervous about, but I knew something had to change. I have been on Cymbalta for 3 months now and it is working. I think the worst part is the constipation! I also have broken out in several rashes on my face while "drinking.""


"I have bipolar 2 disorder and of course clonazepam remedies my anxious manic states with speed and grace."


"I have being on Invega Sustenna now for 4 month. It has been great medication but I started to have facial movement small, but I'm afraid it might increase. I will ask my doctor to reduce the dosage so I might not have side effect."


"This medication has done wonders for my son. He's been on it now for about 2years, and it really helps him concentrate in school and at home. Last year he brought home a's and b's and hes 9 years old! I am so proud of him!"


"I am on my 5th month of treatment and have seen some improvement in overall pain/discomfort, but still continue to have issues. I also have extreme fatigue the day after treatment. My doctor just increased my dose to the maximum to see if that works. I must take medication to sleep comfortably and medication to stay awake during the day. These medications interact. I supposedly have a mild case of rheumatoid arthritis and am still waiting to feel normal."


"My mother was taking this drug  twice monthly. She had been on it once before for aut  2 years and had great results. She had to stop because of an operation. Later on her arthritis caused so much pain and she requested this medicine again. She took it again for 3 months and was so happy to be able to get around. She then got scratched by her dog, took the shot and by the next morning she had a 104 fever and infection spread throughout her body. She went into a coma state and never came out of it. She died from septic shock 6 days later. Use with extreme caution. Do not use if you even get a scratch or sore as it lowers your immune system and may cause death from an infection."


"I love this medicine. The chronic back pain disappears and tramadol doesn't provide any drowsiness."


"Long time user of Lithium, 35 years, I have Stage three renal failure, also have a atrophy cerebellum, and the last side effect is Downbeat  Nystagmus due to atrophy cerebellum."


"I started using this and it was fine until my face one morning started burning really bad, my face was bright red!! When I tried to wash it off my face started stinging and burning so bad I could have cried"


"I got Mirena six months ago and I'm so happy that I did.  My doctor did not place Mirena while on my period. I took a pill which softened my cervix and had it placed the next day. There was a horrible pinching feeling when she inserted it, but it immediately stopped once inserted.  I didn't bleed at all until my period started a week later... but then, I bled for three months straight.  It was mostly heavy spotting, but it was inconvenient for three months. Almost to the day, three months later, I stopped bleeding and I haven't had a period since. Getting Mirena was one of the best decisions I've ever made."


"I feel very difficult when taking Zoloft at 25mg. for about ten days then 50mg. afterwards. I primarily take it for stress, anxiety, and depression.  Once I was told by a psychiatrist that I could have PMDD even though I haven't been diagnosed with the condition by a gynecologist, it's because I would have severe crying spells days before my period so severe that I wouldn't stop crying, and I would feel extremely sensitive emotionally.  I still cry a little before I get period sometimes, but the medication I take seems to work well to keep my nerves calm.  In addition I have bipolar depression, PTSD, social anxiety, and ADD/ADHD.  Ritalin is another medication that I also take."


"Hiprex is amazing! I suffered for years with chronic UTI's and was constantly on antibiotics which made me feel even worse. I tried everything from ural sachets to cranberry tablets and nothing helped until I tried hiprex. As long as you take the recommended 2 tablets each day (one in morning, one at night) it works! The only downside is the taste of the tablets but I found taking it with some food helps mask the taste."


"My Doctor asked if I was interested in trying Qsymia to help jump start weightloss after I had my son. I have hypothyroidism so losing weight is never easy so I thought "why not". I did lose about 30lbs fairly quickly but thats when it went downhill. It stopped working so she raised the dosage...well, let me tell you...MIGRAINES every night. I didnt have any other side effects but they were so bad, it wasn't worth it. THEN when I stopped I got them again! Anything thats messing with my brain scares me. I toughed it out and the migraines stopped but I am slowly gaining the weight back without any diet change at all whatsoever. I went to my endocrinologist and he said to expect weight gain automatically if you stop taking a weightless drug."


"I was on this bc 2 & a half months before I decided to stop. This was not my first BC & previously I had no issues with bc. The first month was okay but around the 2nd month I started having terrible nausea at nighttime. To the point where I wasn't able to leave the house. I also had extremely decreased libido. Went from having sex daily to maybe once a week. No change in weight or appetite other than not wanting to eat because of the nausea. I have now been off of trisprintec for about a week & haven't had any nighttime nausea at all. Every bc effects everyone differently but this was not the one for me."


"I got shingles on my scalp left side forehead and eye.  I was in hospital for 5 days on an IV for both antivirus and antibiotics.  The doctor had said that it was the worse shingles he had seen. After the scabs had gone I was Prescribed lyrica.   I take 300mg at night and 25mg in the morning.  It has been 5 weeks since I developed shingles and my face and scalp are still numb.  I have intermittent pain shocks.  I believe the lyrica is effective as I can't imagine what it would be like if I didn't take it.  I'm not sure how long I am suppose to take this but I imagine by other feedbacks that it could be months."


"I take 75mg daily! Took a good two full weeks to adjust! Will experience weird dreams, insomnia and sweats the first two weeks! Hang in there, for me it was a lifesaver!"


"Switched from Paxil 20mg to Effexor 75mg. On Paxil I just couldn't lose weight and my insurance wanted me to try an SRNI before they would pay for the newer meds like Brintellix. At first I noticed a decrease in anxiety THEN I went to work!! My job is very stressful and I have to be SPOT on!! First I noticed anxiety returning then that I was clumsy..dropping things! I then started noticing numbness and tingling in my fingers and then waking up with numb arms which would not wake up for up to 7hrs!!! I did some research and noticed that numbness/tingling of the extremities is a side effect for 20% of people taking Effexor. The numbness scared me to death! I immediately went to my Shrink and got off this damn drug! I'm going to Lexapro! Ugh!"


"I was getting persistent breakouts (atopic dermatitis)  on my face especially after shaving.  I first began using prescription strength hydrocortisone cream and other steroid creams,  but after a while they lost their effectiveness and began making my skin worse.  And it caused thinning of my skin.   I eventually started using Elidel  and my skin significantly improved right away.   Elidel caused no adverse reactions.  I barely need to use Elidel anymore.   Elidel was initially not covered by my insurance.   However, my dermatologist was able to obtain prior authorization by submitting records  showing that steroid creams did not work."


"I was skeptical and uneasy about going on birth control again after bad past experiences with other brands. My doctor prescribed it for me because my natural cycle was way too long,heavy bleeding ,and the worst cramps with fevers. Note-you have to stay 3 months on this pill to see how your body really reacts to it. I pretty much had light period throughout the whole 1st month. I did not ,though, have severe cramps anymore. In this second month, I have been more balanced with the bleeding and it is coming around normal time and not additional like month before. Emotions are still unstable- breaking out more too! Greasy face and feeling super gross. If this doesn't change after 3rd month- I'm switching."


"In 1985 I spent a week in intensive care adjusting to terbutaline, which I was given for the entire last month of my pregnancy.  My child has dyslexia and developed cancer at the age of 27.  At 35 I suffered a heart attack and I have recently been told I now have a hole in my heart that went undetected thru many examinations, x rays & echograms. Chronic pain & nervousness have kept me housebound for so long now that I want these symptoms to end and need to find some answers!  Could this all be related to the long term effects of terbutaline? If there is anyone out there whom has experienced anything similar to my circumstances please comment"


"I am writing this review 6 hours after IUD insertion, so I'm giving my experience on the actual process not side effects. overall I had a VERY POSITIVE experience! My entire appt took maybe 20 minutes. First they took a urine sample to make sure I was not pregnant. The process of insertion itself was quicker than I expected (maybe 5 mins). DON'T READ HORROR STORIES before going in, it made me 100 times more nervous than I needed to be. All you have to do is remember to breathe through the whole thing. I'm not going to lie it was a very bizarre uncomfortable pain that felt like a severe period cramp but it was over before I knew it and I was able to drive home. I've had cramps since but nothing I'm not used to. Take Advil and eat prior!!!"


"It works really well my mood and depression are better. My only possible complaint is a constant upset stomach."


"The second day of taking Zetia I had night leg cramps (Charlie's Horse).  The third night, same thing, leg cramps at night.  The fourth night foot and leg cramps at night.  Stopped taking them after fourth night."


"I was prescribed Harvoni in February, 2013....used it for 12 weeks and after finishing my prescription, my blood was tested for Hep C and was found to be negative. 3 months later I had another blood test which was also negative for Hep C."


"I did take this  10 years ago. It really worked, can't remember how much weight I lost. It was a significant weight loss!  Since then, I have gained weight and lost it on my own. I am now 50. I only know of one Dr. That prescribes it. I saw him today. I am 50, my metabolism is not the same as it was.... Started it today,  the cost has gone down!!!"


"I started on this in September 2014. Went through a very rough 3 months of sickness some weight loss, dizziness, diarrhea, some vomiting. Finally they subsided. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago, I scheduled surgery on my back. The pre surgery nurse told me to stop the medicine, so I did. I get a call this week from another Dr telling me medicine shouldn't effect surgery to continue as usual. So I start back up the same day, because of course both my hands and feet have already started with the blisters and peeling within 2 weeks of not taking the medicine. Now 2nd day back in medicine and I'm not functioning. Headache, can't open my eyes of I do I throw up. I don't know what to think."


"I've been postmenopausal for nearly 7 years. Past the hot flash and insomnia stage. My issue was primarily vaginal dryness and painful intercourse, because the vaginal tissue had lost elasticity. I have used estrogen cream and vagifem.  Both worked fine for awhile, but gradually became less effective. My doctor switched me to the Estring and I love it.  I'm a little unsure about whether I inserted it correctly, because my husband could feel it. Also, I had a pelvic ultrasound for an unrelated issue and the Estring obstructed the tech's view. I reached down and popped the thing out and put it back when she was done - haha. Now, I do that for relations with my husband, too. I will follow-up with doc about proper placement."


"I inserted the ovule a day and a half ago. The itching and burning caused by the medication has been worse than the actual yeast infection. I just recently removed as much of the medication as I could. I felt immediate relief from internal  discomfort  I hadn't realized I was experiencing until the medication was removed. The external itching and burning has not subsided yet, but hopefully it will soon. I would strongly advise against using this product, and wish I had read reviews prior to purchasing it."


"Some background: I am 25, have never been on birth control and have regular periods. I'm on my 5th pack of Lo Loestrin Fe and so far am pretty pleased with it other than a few annoying things. I did experience some spotting in the very beginning, and when I started my 4th pack I got my period 2 weeks early which was surprising since I'm so used to having a regular period. I also seem to get a mild yeast infection around the time of my period which, as you can imagine, is awful. I don't really want to stop taking this pill because my skin has cleared up and I haven't gained any weight. Just dealing with the yeast with probiotics/yogurt and hopefully it'll all balance out. If not I'm just going to stop taking it."


"I took this medicine about 6 years ago for depression and PTSD . This is a horrible medication, doctor I saw told me it was a magic drug for depression. Magic as in the sense it is god awful and turned me into a monster. I went from being depressed to being super depressed. I think I suffered from all of the side effects listed, and now that I had a genetic test to find out why medications didn't work on me , I know why. Being a poor metabolizer made it so the medications build up in my system and I get the horrible side effects, and this one was no different. The withdrawal from this was god awful almost unbearable, from the brain zaps, to the uncontrolled crying, all the way to a 1 day hospital stay. Stay away"


"I am 40 years old. I have dealt with social anxiety since my teen years. I have been on Wellbutrin XR 150 mg twice daily for several months, which has given me energy, improved mood, and increase sex drive. I started gabapentin a couple weeks ago for pain relief related to a slipped disc impinging nerves in my back, sciatica. I am taking 600 mg tthree times a day. I am amazed!! Social anxiety is gone! First time in my life. I have actually been chatty and social without breaking into a sweat from nerves. Also haven't reached for my when required Ativan at all since starting gabapentin. I couldn't be happier about this accidental discovery. Life changing. Also note that I am a recovering alcoholic. Maybe defective gaba has been the culprit?"


"Tramadol is a drug that does not work for everyone. I found that different generic brand of tramadol work better than others. I have had the best luck with teva and mylan. The others give me a horrible headache, and dont do anything for my back pain. Also the less you take the better off you are. I take 6 pills a day that are 50mg. I take them 2 at a time every 8 hours. Some people have a hard time finding mylan , teva , and northstar generics. You just have to do the leg work. I get the mylan at walmart. Most places have amneal, and caraco because its cheaper. I can say the brand name ultram is the best by far, and cvs will order it for me, but 180 pills is way to much for me. If you can afford the brand name ultram go for it."


"I'm taking this for the first time because I'm breastfeeding. I'm at the end of the 4th month. I haven't had a period at all. I've experienced mood fluctuations, moderate acne (unusual for me), hair loss and inability to lose weight. As others have mentioned, I feel hungry often and crave chocolate. I will be discussing other options with my ob/gyn."


"My child has been taking this for a few months now. We tried Concerta and after only the second dose he was having severe tics. Focalin has less side effects but his behavior is WORSE when he misses a dose than it ever was before he started taking this medicine. "


"I've been on Belviq for five months now.  I'm down 30 pounds and I still have about 30 to go.  I'm very pleased with my results.  I use a meal tracker app and stay between 1000-1200 calories a day which can be difficult.  I'm going to increase to 1300-1400 the next couple of months (which may slow my weight loss down a bit but I'm okay with that) because it's comfort food season! I still love to eat and I think I've been successful because I can still have delicious food but with the medicine I'm satisfied with very small portions."


"I took accutane in college and it worked miracles. However, my acne has come back and it looks like I'm going to have to go through another round. I really enjoyed the results, but it wasn't a permanent effect for me."


"I am a 50 yr old female with BMI of 31.  I have tried all kinds of diets and lost a few lbs with Topamax but the side effects were terrible. I also suffer from Fibromyalgia. My start weight was 191. I have been on Contrave for 2 months and am on the scale down program, which I love. My weigh in this morning is at 174!!! I find that Contrave has helped with my Fibro immensely! No more pain pills! No more anti inflammatory pills! My weight is coming down and I also have energy I hadn't had in years!!!!  For those with no insurance there is a coupon and or Rx card. I absolutely love Contrave!!!!"


"I'm praying I have similar success to some of these stories I've read. I just started Phentermine 37.5 mg today, 7/10/15. I'm 44, 5'2" and 229 lbs. So far, I feel great today. A little bit revved up, but not too bad.  Absolutely no hunger at all. Very thirsty - but that's a good reason to slam water instead of soda. I'm giving up all sugary foods and drinks.  I want to get back to my comfortable weight of 130-140, and then see where it goes from there. FINGERS CROSSED! I will update more in a couple days. Good luck to all!"


"I had been taking Diovan for several years and it worked well, but the cost became prohibitive ($120 month) so my Doctor switched me to Benicar HTZ. Benicar HTZ worked almost too well and my blood pressure frequently was in the 109/50's. After about a month I began noticing a lack of sex drive and then soft erections. I have since switched back to Diovan."


"My insomnia is invincible to matter what I take. Or build tolerance quickly.
Tried Belsomra 10 and 20 but it doesn't do anything.
"


"Accutane was great for me. I had moderate acne and after taking Accutane for only 2 weeks it cleared up my skin. I kept clear all throughout my 5 month treatment and now I've been off of it for almost a month, still clear.  The chapped lips is easily treatable and dry skin just needs a little lotion.  Overall very worth it."


"One of the best medications I have taken for depression, one warning is do not run out of this medication, because you will experience terrible withdrawals, and when you re-take it the nausea is terrible. If I can stay on this medicine for a long time, I will be happy, never had better control of my depression than I do on Effexor."


"On day 4, and down 3.5 pounds with zero side effects other than a mild headache, which I can live with. I am a food addict - I don't eat out of hunger. I think of food 24/7. With this drug, I do not, and find the cravings have disappeared!
Thank you so much dr for this."


"Started off with the "Purple Pill" effective but very expensive. Physician switched me to "Pantoprazole" (Protonix) - just as effective, a fraction of the price. My diet slipped back to pre-med carelessness (spicy food, garlic, onions, curries &c and STILL no problems. I did go back to sensible eating at the urging of my daughter!"


"This drug almost killed me. I started during a flare up in my 2nd trimester. My hair would fall out and kept reporting unexplained protein in my urine at every doc appointment...I lost 15 lbs during pregnancy and was determine high risk. 6 months post term, I started to get severe chills to fever, couldn't eat, had full colitis symptoms...was hospitalized with cardiac distress, severe anemia and dehydration and stage 4 kidney failure caused by Lialda...mayo clinic detected that the protein in my urine was in fact a side effect from the lialda. I was immediately taken off and my creatin and iron levels began to stabilize and my hair stopped falling out."


"Love It Love It!!"


"After being hospitalized for very high BP that my other medications weren't able to control -- I was prescribed .5 of Norvasc. Within 3 hours, my BP was down to 70/ 52, and continued to drop to 68/ 42 with my pulse going as low as 40 bpm.

I came very close to calling 911, but after a couple of hours of drinking water -- I was able to get the BP up to around 90/65. Obviously I will not take this medicine again -- and feel that the side effect for it wasn't given"


"I have been using Diovan for several years and it works great, however now my insurance company wants me to resort to Losartan.  When I was on Lotensin it didn't do the job.  Hope Losartan does."


"Good medication when used at the right dosage. Stronger than Xanax dose for dose, but has to be discussed with the doctor."


"I did not gain any weight, and have seen a slight improvement in my skin overall ( I never really had/have acne though). One thing that I have noticed is my anxiety and moodiness (depression) is completely out of control. I'm either suffering from sky-high anxiety for no reason, or I'm fighting back tears for no reason! Also, my sex drive has completely plummeted, I mean from 10 to absolutely ZERO. I am in my late twenties and this has been a real struggle with my long term relationship. Definitely not the pill for me."


"I started taking Victoza on 10/18/2014 & the 1st 4 days I was fine I had a slight headache, the 5th day I was dizzy & vomiting I couldn't keep water down. I skipped a day of Victoza & started back the following day, no problems  I'm down 7lbs."


"Never have a period or symptoms of a period! LOVE IT!"


"My fiancé and I have been trying to conceive for four years. We are both 26 years old. Last year I was rushed into emergency surgery because I had cancerous cysts on my right ovary and cysts that had burst. After the procedure was done my doctor told me that my left ovary didn't work. It wasn't producing anything. So, he told me that that cancerous cysts were probably the cause of why we hadn't gotten pregnant yet and if in a year we still weren't pregnant to come back in. Well, one year went by and nothing. So, he prescribed me clomid and told me to take it day 1 of my period for 5 days. I am currently on day 4/5 and have had no serious side affects besides a minor headache that goes away with tylenol. I am so excited to see if this works!"


"I had no clue what this stuff was. My grandma has been using it for her elbow. I was having a "blonde" moment I guess cause I was thinking how can a gel work when her pain is under the skin? Well I've been having horrible knee pain, I'm seeing a knee specialist this week. I picked up her tube and thought I'd give it a try thinking it would do nothing. When I got up out of the chair I was amazed! Hardly any pain at all. I looked back at the gel and thought "no way" this has got to be in my head. So I got on the computer and decided to research this a little, I think when I go to my specialist I will ask for a prescription for this. However I think I may have used just a little too much, oh well!"


"Started taking this for severe back pain and muscle spasms.  I really wish the doctor would have warned me about it!  I started getting sick a couple days after starting it but didn't think about it being a reaction to the drug!  I was nauseated first,  then the chest pressure started, headache, my vision was blurry,  and I couldn't walk across the floor without being out of breath. It was two weeks of pure hell before I thought about the new medicine!  When we looked it up I had more than 13 of the many serious side effects!   I even had to make a trip to urgent care because of it, they diagnosed me with bronchitis!  I  just can't believe they allow something like this on the market!  How long will it  take to stop being miserable?"


"Only side effects is dry mouth for me, but I drink lots of water and use Act for dry mouth. I started February 2015 the first 2 weeks lost 10lbs, currently down 26 total."


"This pill is honestly so terrible. The first week I began taking it, I started to break out all over my face with extremely painful cystic acne. It was uncontrollable. As soon as I started to take the inert pills, my face cleared up. Also this has caused me to form a fibroadenoma in my breast, and I have an extremely extensive family history of breast cancer in young women. I'm only 20 years old and I have fibrocystic breast disease, and I've been on just about every birth control on the market. If you have this condition as well STAY AWAY from this drug at all costs."


"My restless leg syndrome results in cramp-like pains that nothing seems to help. Until I took 300 mg of Gabapentin. It definitely took care of the pain, but it left me feeling drunk the next morning! I was staggering when I walked and had great difficulty waking up. This lasted for several hours after I woke up. Thankfully, this only happened the first couple of times that I took Gabapentin. Unfortunately, it was only effective at 300 mg for about two weeks. I was supposed to move up to two capsules  (600 mg total) after the first week, but hadn't out of fear of the side effects and at first it seemed unnecessary. Once the pain came back, I added the 2nd capsule and the tired, groggy feeling lasted all day! I'm not going to keep taking it."


"I would never go back to Synthroid as the side effects were unbearable. "


"Been taking 0.6mg since Friday 27th January. The first dose was taken at 7pm as I had read that it does make you feel tired. So far, I have felt mildly nauseous and tired, but I tend to sleep it off so I am ok for the remainder of the day.

Now on my third dose and I decided to drink low calorie ginger ale to curb the nausea. It seems to be doing the trick. I do have a loss of appetite so I need to remind myself to eat so that I keep my nutrition up. I must admit that I did feel thirsty for the first couple of days and wake up in the middle of the night feeling a bit spaced out with a slightly elevated pulse, but this goes away by mid morning following a small snack.

Will wait and see if this results in meaningful weight loss"


"Before purchasing this product I did indeed read the reviews, which kind of made me rethink getting it, but I am out of state and didn't want to go to urgent care. It came in a capsule so no messy cream and it was easy to insert. So far I have no complaints. I took it midday and by dinner time I felt so relieved. No itching or burning but I suggest wearing a panty liner. I gave it a 8 because I want to check in with my doctor to make sure it's cleared up. I'm satisfied with it but every woman is different so don't let the reviews discourage you."


"I just got my Implanon implanted on Friday, after being on the Depo shot for 3 years. Very simple. The anxiety is the worst part. It took about 15 minutes to actually prep/insert. I consider myself moderatly tolerant to pain and needles - the numbing part hurt a bit but I couldn't feel him doing the implant at all and the doctor made the comment "you have tough skin". I have just a small bruise and a tiny hole -  no stiches,  just a bandaid and cover the same as when you donate blood."


"I was on Tri-Nessa for 5 years never using any other form of birth control..no condoms or anything. I decided to switch birth control pills, 3 months later I got pregnant. Needless to say, I had the Doctor put me back on Tri-Nessa."


"Its good for preventing psychosis. The only side effects I am having is I sleep a lot and can't control poop for long and end up pooping in my pants sometimes. Btw I am taking this medication for one year."


"I'm taking Geodon 20 mg in the morning and evening now. The first night was AMAZING, it was the prime of my existence. I felt so calm and present and able to think of one thing at a time. I requested to take it in the morning too. The second day I got an anxiety attack in the middle of the day and I'd never had one previously so I didn't know what to do with myself. The next few days the restlessness got better until it was gone. I thought it was over but today I got a weird feeling of uncoordination and discomfort, I couldn't write either. But every time I get a strange side effect, I nap it off. Seems to work. After napping, I'm golden. Tomorrow will be my first completed week of Geodon."


"I started off with 10 mg for the first week and noticed that I have FINALLY been able to get some sleep! Before hand, I could never get sleep and never had energy throughout the day. I'm more friendly. I was starting to spend more time with my husband, being more intimate and just feeling good! For the second week, I started to notice my body wants to shut down by 8 pm (which I love). I could wake up 5am for work and have so much energy to get what I need done. I do not really have racing thoughts anymore. Sometimes I catch myself still being sad from time to time, but thats only be because it takes about a month to have the full effect! Fair to say, I did notice POSITIVE improvements. I'm glad that I got help when I did."


"I have been on Lo Loestrin for about 3 months now. Before this one, I was on Safryl. I switched because Safryl was giving me horrible side effects. I like Lo Loestrin, however, I don't love it because the spotting between periods has not stopped. I haven't gained weight, if anything have lost some. My face is clear and my sex drive is okay, not like before, but i haven't lost it. In my experience, this pill has more positive than negatives. I was also diagnosed with PCOS and Hashimoto's Disease. Birth control pills don't have the same effect on everyone. My GYN had me complete a hormone test before prescribing me this pill. He wanted to balance my hormones out with the pill and it looks like he did. I'm hoping the spotting goes away."


"I promised myself I would write a review for this antidepressant. I have only been on them for a month so far and after trying various other antidepressants with negative side effects I can safely say I have found the right one for me! Not only did it stop my anxiety almost immediately but I rarely have any negative or paranoid thoughts. I would definitely recommend anyone who has clinical depression to take these because they have honestly changed my life for the better. Hope this helps."


"Depo shot
EASY, FORGET ABOUT THE PILL!
I started the depo provers shot after having two kids birthed one year one day apart! Both times I was on the full pill!

Was easy price is $11.48 every three months on health care card. Wasn't a stressful process was easy pain free.

I did bleed the first injection 10 out of the 12 weeks I bled heavily but after second shot I have over-come that and I am extremely happy in the success of this needle..

It's not costly, it doesn't hurt, it's once every 12 weeks, don't need to stress about babies and pregnancy, people are different some will bleed some won't! Yes a tad weight gain but hey weight is better then an unwanted pregnancy "


"Been on this for six days, skin is cleared up but some days I have nausea and dizziness and other days I am fine. Also seem to be dropping things, I broke a plate today, just extra clumsy."


"Fewer side effects than Ditropan and more effective than Detrol."


"My five year old son took Claritin chewables for approximately two weeks and had a sudden onset of facial tics ( eye blinking). His doctor attributed it to the Claritin and said it was a known side effect, especially with family history of tics. "


"I have tried many anti-depressents over the years and couldn't handle any of them as I would feel so drugged and sleepy on them I can't do anything but this time my doctor told me about Brintellix, and he gave me a lot of samples.    He said it's a new antidepressant that doesn't have side effects.  I was majorly depressed.  I was crying everyday and even left my 30 year marriage.  Well I was on 10mg and from the first week it was great.  I was calmer, stopped crying, and I felt really happy.  I love it!  Only thing is this stuff is so great, it is $400 & with my insurance the co-pay was $70 & I even had a coupon!  I can't afford that every month so I had to stop. Now I'm getting very depressed again after 1 week without.  Can anyone help?"


"I have the gene from my mom's and dad's side. There was, or still is  a skip a generation rumor for psoriasis that could be true. I praise the Lord my daughter does not have it and she is going to turn 20 on July 4th . Age 13 it started as dandruff in cold weather. All sports player in the sun, thankfully it went away every summer. It moved to the knees and elbows over time through the same seasons. Then a spot, then 2 showed up on my chest. I summer sun tanned. It works. I went to coal tar, then to a diet, suffered like hell, hid, scratched, piled up skin I needed to vacuum every day. I couldn't get all the blood out the sheets. Methotrexate, psoriatane, Enbrel did well. Humira did great, only 2 shots a month. My psorsasis has beat it."


"When I started Vimpat I got vertigo, headaches, and nausea like woah. My neurologist asked me to try to stick it out, and I am SO glad I did.

It replaced Topamax (which was messing up my kidneys) and it works. I went a record (for me) 124 days without a seizure with the Vimpat/Keppra combination I am on now. I still get dizzy more easily than I used to, but seizure freedom is absolutely worth the inconvenience."


"I started giving my daughter this medication and she started getting more aggressive and having more of an attitude and more violent towards people so I stop giving her the medication. She was taking Adderall with the medication at the time so I don't know if it was a combination of the both together or what"


"Worked great for my anxiety. Before I was terrified if someone walked behind me outside. I could start to panic and have all sort of thoughts. And I would get anxiety when I came home. I regularly lived with anxiety and this med helped a lot.  And it doesn't have that cognitive side effect as the other antidepressant which makes it wonderful. A bit nausea but I take it before a big meal and then it's pretty OK."


"I have been on Aviane for almost a month. Everything is normal, no weight gain. Some little mood swings here and there but nothing that I can't handle. My sex drive has increased a lot. I'm on my third pill on the fourth week but I haven't started my period not too sure when I will but other than that I'm happy with it, no complaints."


"It works great, yet makes urine incredibly stinky. "


"It is a very positive medication for severe allergies. I have tried everything OTC and prescription. This a first that allows me to sleep, without getting up 5 or 6 times a night because of my nose."


"I've been on Safyral since Jan 2011. (Almost a year) It was awesome at first, but as time went on it slowly started to change me. Great if you don't have a boyfriend. I say that because I have ZERO want or desire to be cuddly or intimate with my amazing, sweet, and down near perfect boyfriend of two years.

It's the most frustrating of all my symptoms. Next are the mood swings, angry one minute, sad the next, anxious...it never ends! Before this pill I always considered myself to be a "guy" when it came to emotions, I was always just happy go lucky, NOT with this.
Emotions=scale of 1 on this stuff.
Pros=100% clear skin, all the time! No weight gain.
Its not the WORST birth control out there but just be prepared to ride a emotional roller coaster."


"I had bad side effects after taking this pill for a month. I was throwing up, had really bad cramps, headaches, constant nausea, and frequent urination."


"I have battled my weight my whole life. I just always seemed to be hungry or at least always wanted to eat. I'm 2 weeks in and I am having to almost make myself eat. In fact, I'm a bit concerned that I might not be eating enough. My main side effects are some nausea (not extreme) and burping to a ridiculous non-stop degree. It does feel a bit weird in general. I'm down 8.4 lbs now, from a starting point of 220.6 lbs. I find myself walking faster, for some reason. I just seem to have more energy even though I am taking in so few calories. Anyone with any history of an eating disorder should stay away.

Update after 33 days on Saxenda: I'm down 14 lbs and the side effects are basically the same as the first two weeks. So far,  so good."


"I must have a mild case of ED. I am 49 in good health, slightly overweight vasectomy 6 years ago. My erections were getting softer and my stamina was nonexistent. I take a 10mg dose on an empty stomach with water, withing 15 minutes my face feels flush and I get a nice full feeling in my penis. Sex is like it was when I was 16, multiple erections and terrific stamina. I find that when condom use is required, that I have to use this med for optimum results. THANK YOU!"


"I've been on Cymbalta for fibro pain for about two months.  For me, it's working well.  I have no side-effects, and it's made me feel like I've only been hit by a compact car instead of a mack truck!  lol!"


"Oral dosage is easy to take. Felt relief almost immediately. Would recommend and take again. "


"This is my second go around with this medicine. My sugars stay in the 200's. It makes me eat ALL the time!"
