"I started taking this med 4 weeks ago. Before that I was extremely slowly losing but had changed my lifestyle with walking, Eating low carb and an extremely clean diet. I have lost 3 lbs this month but the meds made me exhausted and nauseated most days. I could not do my light work outs or even walk.  Not wanting to eat much at all and what I did was not the healthiest as everything made me sick so I would eat stuff that would go down easy.  I’m thinking it’s counter productive to a healthy lifestyle change.  I even backed off the dosage. Not sure what to do. I paid for three months so wanted to finish but ugh not feeling this."


"Gained weight in two months. Worse bc I've ever had. I sleep wayyy too much and by that I mean I wake and wanna go back to bed every two hrs even with coffee. I'm moody. Breasts hurt. I wanna eat everything and I'm not even hungry. I've been on this for two months. It's like I'm cloudy and have no motivation and I now have depression."


"From bad to good.
Wk1, great. Obviously placebo.
Wk2 was a low week. SO tired all day long. I struggled to concentrate. Work performance was affected. I learned that alcohol brings you right down. DON'T DO IT! Some anxiety
Wk3 Another low week. I felt zombified. Tired all day. I could barely stay awake in meetings. I couldn't pay attention for more than a minute. Noticed my hands are shaking. Some anxiety.
Wk4 Better but still tired. Small up but still zombified & shaking hands
Wk5 Less tired but still shaky. Mood is lifting. Strange confidence. Loving it!
Wk6 Confidence & mood grows. Little anxious
Wk7 Definitely better. Small wobble due to alcohol.
Wk8 Feeling great. There is hope!
Avoid too much alcohol & coffee. 2 or 3 per day is ok."


"Great improvement with the patch.  I have joint pain and deterioration of the spine and my mobility has come back to where I can now do household tasks, go out to events, dining and visiting friends.  Started with 5mcg and gradually increased to 15mcg.  The side effects have been rough to deal with.  First the itching skin and then blistering. Swollen ankles.  Night sweats. Some of this is worse than others.  But how can I get this level of relief with something else?  I will find out about Kenalog spray recommended by another writer here.  Swollen ankles, elevate and ice.  Night sweats, do not sleep on the patch.  I keep hoping my body will adjust to the adhesive and medication after time.  I will keep using Butrans."


"I was diagnosed with RRMS in 1993. Tried Avonex,  worst side effects body pain,  pounding headache instantly. Stopped drug after 6 wks.

In 1999 had relapse.  Double vision, numb on left side, slurred speech, dizziness, fatigue, unable to walk without falling, my mind felt odd. Doctor at DUKE university suggested Copaxone 20mg. Started in 1999. Now on 40mg 3 times a week. Had relapse may 2016.

I have itching, welts, injection pain, lumps and permanent indentations."


"I felt dizzy, light headed,  confused, and my throat felt like it was closing .I can't tell if it is any good because you are on so many medications when you have stage 3 heart failure. But I do know this the trials should have went forward to look at all evidence these fast tract FDA approvals have killed a lot of people because of serious side affects look at the law commercials you see everyday ."


"EPIDUO saved my life!!! Cant believe I didn't know about this before. I have been using epiduo for about two weeks now my skin cleared the first week. The first few days I used alot and dried my skin. Now I don't have one spot!!! I recommend this product. I don't think this product works for everyone sadly but worth the try! I have my confidence back and will use epiduo for as long as it works"


"I am very thankful for this medication, it probably has kept me out of a wheel chair. So far my pain has been reduced greatly."


"I was prescribed this after going to get a checkup because I knew something was off, but I had no UTI symptoms.  I have just spent the last 24 hours shaking, with tremendous headache, nauseated, chilled, and with insomnia. I would not recommend this medicine to a sensitive female.  I cried until 2 am, and finally fell asleep.  I have abdomen pain bloating which was not there before, and it feels like a yeast infection is festering.

I am going to go back to my cranberry, water, and oregano oil methods.  I also read about d-mannose but that looks more preventative.  Probiotic too."


"Lortab 10/325 is a very effective medicine for scoliosis."


"Endocets are the most tolerable of any prescription pain medication."


"After reading some of the reviews on this medication I was a little afraid so I held on to the medicine for a week until I begin to take it. My experience has been good so far and this is day 5. I'm not a person who can swallow pills so like grandmom use to do, I smash them to crumbles and take with applesauce. My symptoms went away on day 2. "


"I am a 17 year old female who was diagnosed with ADD about 9 months ago. I had mainly B and C grades, I was scatter-brained, easily distracted, and extremely messy. Since I started Vyvanse at 30mg, I have bumped up to 40mg and I have no complaints. I have all A and B grades, I can focus on my school work, and get things accomplished in a reasonable amount of time. Only critisicm I have is the fact that is caused me to go from messy to borderline OCD. However, I like cleaning and I see it as a plus side to the medication. As is usual for ADD and ADHD medicines, I experience easy mood swings and sudden out bursts of anger, loss of appetite, and lack of sleep. However, overall I am extremely pleased as a high schooler who was struggling."


"I started adipex today and took it at 8am this morning...it's now 10:30 am and I feel hungry and don't have the energy everyone has talked about...I only took a half of a 37.5 guess I'll try a whole one tomorrow...."


"Zoloft changed my life completely and I feel "normal" pretty much all of the time. I was too phobic to try it and for 15 yrs I suffered. I wish it didn't have to happen that way. I started literally on 6.25 mg so afraid I'd get ill. Went up to 12.5 then 25 and so on. I'm now on 150mg and have had zero side effects. If you're like me and phobic of meds, start on a baby dose. Even when the doc looks at you weird, just do it your way for you. You want the lowest effective dose anyway right? Start small and tell yourself this will help and not hurt you before you take it. Each day it gets easier. Best wishes for a better life."


"I have been taking 14mg Prazosin per day (one/2mg tablet spread out throughout the day taking it 3tabs   3tabs   2tabs of Prazosin and 1 x 5mg Flomax) with a great deal of success with urgency/dribble factor and waking up (rarely). Due to taking my last 2 tablets at bedtime (= 4 mg Prazosin) I usually have a slow urination and within the first hour of taking my one Flomax and 3 Prazosin (=6 mg), I am great for the whole 16 /- hours of the day."


"I have Fibromyalgia and severe neuropathy in both feet with burning pain all the way up to my knees.  My local pain clinic prescribed Nucynta (for short term pain) and it completely took my pain away.  I did get EXTREMELY light headed and a feeling like I was high. Since it isn't safe for your liver for long term use, they switched me to Nucynta ER 100 mg to start.  It took 2 weeks to fully kick in and after a month, I formed a tolerance to it.  I've been on 200 mg's for about 5 weeks now and I've already built a tolerance to it as well.  This prescription has been a God send, but, I can only go up to 250mg twice per day.  What will happen to me if I build a tolerance to that?  I'm very concerned."


"Started with low dose and worked my way to 300mg 2-3 times a day. Complete pain relief from slipped disk C-7 ( C-8 nerve) T-1. Minor side effects. (Emotional) Wish you all well."


"I was prescribed this as my regular birth control (Meliane) was not available here. I completed my first month on Blisovi and it has been horrible. It made me very irritable and paranoid (I'm usually laid back to indifferent) and it has killed all sex drive I had. I've had more than usual hair loss with dry skin and scalp. It also caused vaginal dryness for me and made sex uncomfortable. I've had bad constipation despite upping my intake of fiber to counter things and when it was time for my period, I didn't bleed but had severe cramps and backaches- basically all my PMS symptoms without bleeding which made me worried about being pregnant (I checked and am not). The good thing is that it is completely covered by my insurance."


"I've tried several over the counter Acne medications and washes, home made applications and NOTHING seemed to work. I saw a commercial on Differin Gel and literally told myself, " sure, another acne med that claims to be effective " I figured, I might as well give it try considering I was beginning to accept my terrible acne.
I saw results in a week or so and so did my family n friends. I am almost 2 months in and my face is practically clear, even the dark acne scars vanished.
I highly recommend Differin Gel to Everyone that is suffering from mild to severe acne, I promise!!
I always apply the gel after washing my face in the evening, applying the gel all over my face and jaw bone.
Good luck!"


"I was given Bactrim for vestibulitis, and a sinus infection, and bronchitis. The medicine was hardly effective. I just finished it. While on it all of my symptoms got worse and I had severe headaches and neck stiffness and I was so tired all day. I tried dealing with the side effects because I wasn't sure if it was the medicine or just being sick. Went back to my doctor today and because I'm not better he switched me to azothromycin and gave me some steroids for my energy levels. This medicine was awful. By the 7th day I was smelling and tasting the medicine all day. Really, I could've dealt with the side effects if the medicine helped me but it did not."


"I had been taking 30 mg of temazepam but after getting out of the hospital recently I have not been able to sleep.  My psychiatrist added trazodone 100 mg tablets.

This is a moderate dose and has helped tremendously.  The only downside to use of trazodone as treatment for insomnia is the early morning hangover, especially during the first few days of therapy.

It's not addictive, you WILL go to sleep, just take a little time."


"Its great. I've been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 before and I was a train wreck. But now my periods are controlled. They last only 5 days compared to the 1.5 weeks when I wasn't taking anything. I haven't gained weight like I did with the other one and I am not so emotional. I feel normal except my sex drive really lowered and I get horrible cramps and bloats on my period. Which I never got before but I don't mind because I dont bleed as much."


"I have been taking Actos for 5 years. Recently the cardiologist diagnosed me with heart failure. My EF is 30%. 2 weeks ago I stopped taking Actos and my fasting blood test is 125 the same reading as when I was taking Actos."


"I decided at 2:30 a.m. to use the Monistat 3 day cream. Now I'm tossing and turning because I cannot go back to sleep. OMG it burns and my insides are twitching!!! This better be worth it! (I see someone mentioned that means that it's working)"


"I am 38 and haven't had much of a problem with acne since I was a teenager, until I had my first child.  After having my now 2 year old son, my skin just started looking worse and worse and nothing I was doing was making it better. I even bought a Clarisonic (made it worse).  So I went to the dermatologist and she gave me Acanya and said to use it once a day.  This is only my third day using it and the difference is dramatic already.  Not every single bump and mark has cleared up yet, but I would say 50 -70% of my acne is already gone or almost gone.  Yes, it does sting a little, I try to not use too much and hope I get used to this or my skin adjusts.  Either way, I love this product and can't believe I didn't go to a dermatologist sooner."


"I have been taking Tramadol for about 7 years now off and on. I have suffered from lower lumbar area pain and degenerative disc disease and this is theonly thing that takes the edge off and still allows me to work."


"After 4 months of starting the pill, I started losing abnormal amounts of hair."


"After 6 weeks on Doxycycline & Prednisone for pneumonia, I got a mild YI. First usage felt like someone had doused my lady bits in lighter fluid & stuck a grilling match up there. OMG the burning and itching!!!

Treatment 2, same thing. The burn and itch are insane!!! It feels as though Satan himself has taken up residence in my vagina and ripped my vaginal walls out to replace them with fire & brimstone.

NEVER AGAIN!!!"


"I get terrible flare ups when I'm stressed. My father recently passed away so my stress level was extreme! My aunty took one look at my face and said "you need antibiotics" I've been on doxy and azelaic acid combination for 1 week and I've noticed a huge improvement. I've also been using benzac wash which is good for acne prone skin but is super soothing and doesn't dry the skin... so far so good! Made a huge difference in my confidence too."


"I hate this birth control!!! I used to be on Ortho tricyclone lo and I loved, never had any side effects or problems. I was switched to tri prevfiem 3 months ago and it has been awful from day one. I have severe headaches from the beginning of my period to the end. I've gained 10lbs. I have had a yeast infection every month since I've been on it. (I've never had yeast infections before). My mood swings are ridiculous. I never want to have sex. The list goes on. Do not get this birth control!"


"I have been on Viibryd for 3 months.  My mood has improved a lot. I have decided to try something else, though, because of the weight gain and acne.  Also, I have had debilitating pain in all my joints.  The doctors say it wouldn't be the meds causing it; they should be helping if anything, but I figured I should mention it in case others have had a similar experience.  I will say, that I would be willing to go back on it, if the side effects don't improve with different meds."


"I'm laying in my bed at 2:55 a.m with an ice cold wash cloth cooling my vagina. I'm trying to soothe what feels like the fires from hell coming from within me! I'm 7 1 /2 months pregnant, with gestational diabetes and this is one of only 3 yeast infections I've ever had in my 21 years of living. My OB/GYN recommended the Monistat 3 day to me before treating me with a prescription.  I'm calling him first thing tomorrow to tell him to stick his bits in a meat grinder and pour gasoline on it because that would be the equivalent to the pain I'm currently feeling! I followed all of the directions exactly and I read that there could be minor burning as a side effect but this is not minor! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!"


"It lowered my cholesterol to a normal range. Only side effect was gas. Reduced the dose and gas went away. Recommend this product as an alternative to Zocor or Zetia."


"5 mg Crestor for about 3 weeks after becoming menopausal and having cholesterol spike even higher (family genetic condition)- no side effects at first and numbers started to improve THEN -everything went haywire- rapid weight gain & all symptoms of pre-menopause has come back -now having severe joint pain so have stopped taking it completely."


"I have taken Strattera for almost 5 years now and its a wonder drug for me personally.  Without this drug my mind really really races and I can help it with exercise and things like that to get the energy out, but I'm not on the same beat as others.  When I take Strattera, everything slows down and I'm on the same beat and wavelength as everyone else.  Social conversations go better and I'm able to stay on task with work and actually get things done.

I've found taking it on an empty stomach can be bit sickening, but other than that no downsides for me.  I take 40 mg 1 or 2x a day as needed and find it wears off in 6-8 hours for me.

I'm extremely ADHD but have no depression at all, very happy person always have been."


"After many years of severe menstrual cramps and using just about every other NSAID on the market, my doctor prescribed me Ponstel and it was a God-send. It was well worth the extra copay. It was the only NSAID I took, with which I did not have to extra Tylenol with codeine or Vicodin to get relief."


"I got my Implanon in June of 09... I love it! Haven't had any adverse reactions! I had a very light period about a month after it was put in..And haven't had one since! This is ideal for me.. I too have tried many other forms of birth control..and had no luck! This is a very worry free option for me..Very happy with it!"


"I am looking for some help/advice/similar experiences. (I am based in the UK)

I had the nexplanon implant inserted two years ago when I was 17. Periods ceased for 18 months, and gradually returned in November. 8 months later I am now getting my period every other week (not too heavy but enough for me to need to change everything to prevent the dreaded leakage!) however, for the dry week between that I am experience all the pre period symptoms blooming sore boobs/tiredness (probably due to low iron), nose bleeds (which occur even when I laugh too hard...) and the odd tinge of sadness- which is not like me at all because I am a glass half full gal.

Has anyone had similar experiences? I am tired all the time and have really had ENOUGH!!! "


"Works very fast"


"Started Enbrel 6 weeks ago and after 2 years of constant pain despite taking a variety of drugs - this week I can actually walk for at least a short distance without crippling pain. The remaining discomfort I think is due to lack of strength from years of forced inactivity which is going to take time to build up but oh - the joy of no pain! So far no side effects and hopefully I can regain my life again."


"I wish I could give this and my doctor zero stars. I told her I was doing just fine taking Loradatine and Montelukast, but she insisted that I take this, because "I need it", so I stared taking this at 20 MG thinking it would help. About a day after I get prescribed this garbage, I get this nasty cough. It made my asthma much worse, I constantly wheeze and cough yuck stuff up now. Then, after about 5 days I start pooping blood. I'm not talking a little, but a lot. Like half my stool is blood. And now, I'm totally  depressed (And pooping blood, and completely congested) I literally don't want to do anything but die in my sleep. Sorry for the language, I'm in an awful mood. I didn't finish it either, I threw the rest of it away."


"After a stroke in 2005 I had  seizures until starting with Keppra @ 500mg bid, now i'm up to 1000 twice a day, and haven't been bothered by any side effects at all.  I'm glad that it is available as a generic, now-  I use Levetiracetam, only $4 a month as opposed to the $720 a month Keppra was until recently."


"Lyrica was great as a pain reliever. It is not a pain killer.  The side effects were brutal - weight gain, swelling, water retention yikes. I only stayed on Lyrica a few months. I am now trying Robaxasil."


"I was reading a bunch of the reviews about Accutane and it is great to hear that it has been successful for these peoples cases. My acne was by no means a case to go to the extreme of taking this medicine. I agree that Accutane can effectively treat acne, but I due to my personal experience I would take extreme caution. After the first couple months of taking it others close to me noticed a pretty big difference in my mood. By the January 2009 the 5th month I was clinically diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety."


"I'm approaching the third calendar shot for me and now that I have began to bleed unexpectedly, I've taken the time to evaluate myself. Since beginning the Depo-Provera in February I've noticed a series of uncontrollable headaches as well as a spike in my blood pressure. I was administered a better dosage of hydrochlorothiazide to reduce the effects of this blood pressure spike but immediately proceeding my dosage I started experiencing this unexpected bleeding. Taken a back by such abrupt change this makes me reflect on the changes my body has experienced throughout the short course being administered Depo. I had even began to experience anxiety here and there, not to mention fatigue. Later came the abdominal cramps and pains with vaginal adverse side effect."


"49 years old - I have been taking losartan krka 50mg for 3 weeks so far with no side effects at all and blood pressure from 140/90 is now between 114/78 - 118/79, I check daily 4 times, I eat chicken meat with no skin 3 times a week , walking 30-40 minutes minimum 5 days a week, no salt, no sweets no alcohol and no coffee or tea, I eat oatmeal with skim milk and sunflower seeds for breakfast, brown rice with boiled vegetables, various beans, peas, walnuts, oranges, apples, avocados, beetroots, potatoes and drinking 8-10 glasses water daily and avoiding stress, hopefully my next visit to the doctor will lower my dose to 25mg and see if I can have a coffee once a day and maybe a glass of red wine 1-2 times a week..so far so good..!!"


"These eye drops burned my eyes so bad I couldn't even open them for maybe 15 seconds. After that my tear ducts and eyelids continued to have a burning sensation. I was completely in shock, being that I've used the visine brand for years."


"Married, 38yrs old.  After relations and sitting there for like 10m, he got up and I saw condom & he was sticking out the side, a big hole & nothing was in the condom- so we knew where it went.  Crazy. (First time in 6 yrs this happened.)  Took plan B 1.5 hours later/prayed.  Saw online it was my day to ovulate / a fertile time.  2 weeks go by, praying, worrying. Had 1 side effect- cramps on/off the whole time, minor and also period like cramps, but no period, no spotting; I thought is this pregnancy symptoms?!  Last night had a tiny bit of pink on toilet paper / cramps & this morning my period!  I am thanking God for this!!  It came 1 day late. - Hugs to you girls / wo"


"Hated it"


"After a heat stroke, I would have random, uncontrollable cry spells- sometimes for hours.  Also developed horrible anxiety.  I always had knots in my stomach, and sometimes in public I would suffer "fight or flight."  It was just exhausting.  I tried Celexa 20 mg, and that made me cry MORE. So, a few months later I tried Zoloft. On 50 mg and it's been only 6 days. I feel more at ease, better when I wake up, and sleep better! Easier to go to work. Have the courage to try this, it seems like it is turning my life around for the better! Only side effect I have had is diarrhea but it it is a small price to pay for happiness, trust me."


"I just had Skyla placed about an hour ago. The reviews had me terrified. I haven't given birth before and also have a tilted pelvis. I was warned placement was going to be tricky. Truthfully, not so bad. I will say I'm lucky. I was given a pill to soften my cervix 8 hours prior and an oxycodone and Xanax 1 hour prior. It took 3 different clamps on my cervix to pull it down to the right angle.. So 3 different attempts to insert Skyla, that pain was the worst. The NP said my inner cervix sphincter was spasming, which was out of my control. On the third attempt or finally went in. I have always had extremely painful cramps. Right now an hour later that's all I feel. Really crampy, but tolerable."


"I've been on this for about 10 months and have had no problems at all.  Some breakthrough bleeding between periods but not frequent enough to bother me. After all going three months without a period is amazing.  I have no complaints at all everything with my body is normal, no weight gain, I get some pimples when I have my period like I always have, no different if I'm on a pill or not. Just have a bit of vaginal dryness but not a big deal using lubrication is much better anyway."


"I began taking 300mg of Gabapentin before bed every night and stopped when my migraines began to subside (as recommended by my doctor). However, they came back and I began 300mg before bed and 600mg in the morning. The medication helps tremendously.
The only downside is that it makes me feel drunk, spacey and tired. I don't feel "all the way there" and lost sometimes. Which isn't great at work. But it sure beats almost daily migraines."


"I've been on the ring since February. At first, the side effects were acceptable- my chest broke out like crazy, it looked like a had a severe rash, but that was nothing, since my ridiculous cramps went away.

Month 2, it got worse. On top of the horrendous rash-like acne, I also cried a lot. Then again, my period was so incredibly light and pain free.

Month 3, I had the ring in for about a week and a half, and took it out this morning. I've cried every day, flown off the handle at the littlest things... I'm angry and aggressive. I actually want to fight people, and I'm so not like that! I took the ring out this morning, and I'm not doing this again."


"Have been on Yasmin for over 4 months now to try improve my acne. I would say my acne has gotten 2-3 times worse than it ever had been in the beginning and I now have spots where I never did before (all along lower cheeks, near jaw area). I have been on dianette before and it was amazing so I shall be going back to it asap!!"


"The itching and burning from this medication is worse than from the yeast infection. I usually use the 7-day treatment with no problem, but the 3-day is awful."


"I was diagnosed  with MS in Dec 16. Had the most severe fatigue and leg numbness, didn't sleep for more than few hours for years. Had extreme heat intolerance too. After just 5-10 min doing exercise   or work felt like I was going to pass out. All of this combined made me so miserable I couldn't grasp why I would need to go on. Copaxone seemed to help a little but the injection sites were all like a swarm of bees stung me. Researched  Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN )and couldn't believe reviews. Emailed doc and he wrote script without a second guess. Take about 3mg every night around 9pm.

Life changing decision. No bull. Feel better than I have in 10 years. Heat tolerance in about 90% corrected except for few off days. Energy is much better and tingling mostly gone."


"This medicine makes me feel horrible.  I get horrible depression and anxiety, sometimes I cry for no reason. Mood swings are horrible and is affecting my relationship. I don’t want to do anything other than be in bed and cry. Cramps are horrible, I get really bad migraines and lost of appetite. For me is been the worst experience ever. I gain some weight I just feel worthless"


"Lost about 60 pounds, was a bit concerned, and I had to force myself to eat sometimes."


"Severe blood clots in my arms starting week 1 and I know for a fact it is from this pill. I do not recommend this to anyone."


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

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

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


"I love it. It really works."


"I'm only 16 but I've been getting cold sores since I was about 1 1/2 years old. I used to get them about at least once every two months but now that I'm getting older I get them at least twice a year. I've had so many troubles treating mine with medication and have tried everything!! When i get them I get them EVERYWHERE, I even have intense scar tissue on my chin from previous infections. Usually I let it takes it's natural course as medicines only seem to make it more painful. But my doctor prescribed Denavir and I tried it and at first I was skeptical, I had intense pain at application, but 10 minutes later the swelling was completely gone and had NO pain. I use it more as a pain reliever than anything else honestly."


"At 45 - 2 bulging cervical disks (C2,C4), stenosis with radiculopathy into my trachea. Very strange and unbelievably painful. 4 years tons of epidurals, physical therapy, hot packs and, yes, pain meds. This one is a winner with a giant caveat.

First narco, then percocet, then oxycontin, then zohydro then... back to Narco. Not fun.

BELBUCA: It works... well enough. You have ZERO euphoria or any druggie feeling - you can function and be productive. The pain blocking sensation that a true opioid provides is there.

My only gripe is the tiny 12hr “mouth patch” itself. This is a disaster and has caused several destroyed patches that refused to insert and stck to finger. HUGELY frustrating. Will not properly dose unless applied perfectly."


"honestly it worked for a while, but after 5/6 months, it completely stopped working. my breakouts were even worse than before. i soon stopped taking the required dosage. finally, i decided to go back to my dermatologist and he told me to take it twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. however, once again, it worked for a month or so, and then my breakouts happened again. I don't even know what to do anymore, acne is so stressful and i'm so self-conscious because of it. i was praying that this medication and treatment would work, but it didn't. i've tried almost everything and nothing has worked."


"The WORST night of my life. I can only imagine that this would be what someone would experience if they took hallucinogenic drugs.  HORRIBLE nightmares, a sensation that my chest and arms were being restricted, burning.  Woke after every VIOLENT nightmare, trying to forget what I'd just dreamt.
Headache this morning and TOTAL recall of a night filled with terrible dreams. I am throwing this away!!!!!"


"Needed a birth control without Hormones. Two days before the procedure I had to take cytotec twice a day until the procedure to soften my cervix. I had really bad cramping, light bleeding, and acid reflux from the cytotec. On the day of IUD insertion, I took Valium... This did nothing for my anxiety. If it weren't for my boyfriend being by my side the entire time during the procedure I wouldn't have gone through and would have begged the doctor to stop and let me leave without Paragard. I've never had such a terrifying experience. I cried the entire procedure from pain and discomfort from being exposed.  Never had a pap smear so I never felt so exposed.  The pain was a 9.5.  I wish I found a place that used IV sedation."


"Been insomniac for more than 26 yrs. Never nap. Sleep very light 4-5 hrs sleep after midnight 4 long time. Finally went to doctor. We started at 15 mg, did nothing then 30mg with nothing...then 60mg which worked about 3 hrs after taking but woke straight up at 2 a.m. so I take another 30mg and back to sleep rather quickly. Wake up around 6:20 am and am ready to go.  "


"Retin-A is great. It helps a lot. It was september 2014 when I decided to go to a dermatologist. She recommended Glycolic Soap (Use night and day), Clarifying Toner in the morning, Clindamycin (night and day), RA Gel every night, and Skinlite cream in the morning for the scars. Last march 2015, My face is already smooth. People were saying that it looks great. Now it's June 2015 and I'm still using RA Gel and Clindamycin, just to maintain my skin. Reminder: Please when you start using RA Gel, do not stop. The pimples will come back... Worse!"


"It's been exactly 2 months since I started taking Contrave. I am a 46 year old woman who started out at 274 lbs. I have lost 37 lbs and now currently weight 237. I used to binge eat a lot and lived a very sedentary lifestyle. I thankfully did not have any side effects other than about three nights in week 3 where I had a difficult time sleeping. I make sure I drink 16 ounces of water when I take my pills as I had been told this helps with nausea. I was surprised that within 2 weeks of starting I no longer had constant cravings for chocolate and other junk food. I also started off at 5 minutes every night riding on my bike / elliptical machine. I now average an hour 5 nights a week and sleep better than ever at night. I love this medication!"


"Had the first of 3 last week- 2nd injection tomorrow.  The shot itself did not seem too bad- some bad pain the next 3 days-- seems better today.  Will update after 2nd shot.  She suggested having a cortisone shot with the series of 3- has anyone else done that?  I was hoping to not do cortisone again for a while due to weight gain."


"I have been taking Prozac for about four years.  My worst symptoms were: very disturbing, vivid dreams that affected my sleep; having feelings of uncontrollable anger; feeling hopeless and powerless, and wanting to give up at the slightest difficulty.  Being on Prozac has been wonderful for me.  The nightmares have pretty much gone away, I am much more calm and patient, and I can deal with the unexpected problems in life much better.  I think Prozac made it possible for me to finish grad school and has helped my career.  I don't feel addicted to it - in fact, I frequently forget to take it for several days or even a week or more, but when I notice the nightmares or anxiety coming back, I know it's time for me to take it again."


"Today is my 3rd day on this antibiotic. I had been experiencing an embarrassing discharge for a few months now. I repeatedly asked my doctor to test me for BV -- After 3 failed attempts to have my doctor test me for bacterial vaginosis, telling me that I was being overly sensitive - I finally sought a second opinion, and turns out, I did in fact have the infection. I am on my third day of the antibiotic (twice a day for seven days) and while I have noticed some uncomfortable side effects such as restlessness and night and mild queasiness - my symptoms are completely gone. No discharge, no embarrassing smell. Thank heavens! I will gladly be slightly uncomfortable for a week to rid myself of this disgusting, embarrassing infection."


"I was prescribed Wellbutrin XR 300 mg over two years ago.  Prior to that, I had tried at least seven other anti-depressants.  None of the other drugs helped my depression.  I am so grateful for Wellbutrin."


"I've used Paxil when I was in my 20's for depression and anxiety. Paxil worked great for me. Side effects were loss of appetite for 2 weeks and taking long to ejaculate which I loved this side effect. Through the years I have been on and off Paxil with it working for me every time but I notice as I got into my 30's it made me very drowsy when taking it. Of all my time of taking Paxil I have never taken it for more than 3 months. I experience the brain zaps once only when I used it for the 1st time. Never had a problem going off Paxil since that 1st time. I would recommend Paxil for depression and definitely anxiety. However, the last time I took it in my 40's it was causing me stomach problem and made my throat feel scratchy all the time."


"Trinessa was great at first! I have always had pretty good skin and it has not altered that. I did not gain weight and my period was lighter. Unfortunately, I experienced a lot more cons than pros. First, I noticed that I was unable to control my blood pressure. It was to the point where I almost needed pills for my blood pressure and I have never had problem previously. Aside from the blood pressure I was over emotional. I'm a very outgoing person but I found it hard to be around others these past few months because I was annoying! I cried about everything. I was supremely jealous if my friends hung out without me, and I'm never like that. I would get sad in the middle of the day or night with no explanation. I feel a tremendous change after stopping"


"I've been suffering from severe chronic headaches for two years and have recently been on this medication four times a day for the pain and it's helped me wonderfully."


"Cymbalta after being treated with Lexapro, most recently and four other antidepressants and enhancers, has FINALLY relieved me of depression and suicidal thoughts after seven years of being treated and hospitalized at one point. With all my heart I can say this little capsule has definitely saved and improved my life 100%. It's nothing short of a miracle to me."


"I have been struggling with Depression and terrrible anxiety/panic attacks since June 2015 it got so bad I couldn't leave the house, in fear of having a panic attack which is what happens when this horrid condition takes place, anyway I was laying in the bed had no appetite, racing thoughts, scared to take care of my children, afraid to be alone etc. The list goes on and on. I lost 20 lbs between June and Sept 2015 , with all this being said I have 6 year old b/g twins and I couldn't continue to keep going like this. I have to be a mother to my children I've been on 40 mgs of escitalopram since June and went to ER with bad panic attack my husband took me. The ER dr put me on 5 mg of zyprexa and my life has changed dramatically I'm me again!!"


"Started my very first pack in February, had heavy periods every 3 weeks for the first 3 months. But now, month 4 its normal and not heavy at all, no cramps and its regular which is great now since I am age 40."


"I was first told about tramadol by a friend. I was tired of taking Lortab for a herniated disk, at first it was good but after a few months of going to the doctor I thought maybe I would see if I can stop taking it and so I did. That was the worst week of my life. I went to the doctor at an insta care and was told that I was suffering from withdrawal from the tramadol and addictive. I was shocked my back doctor had told me that it was safe long term and non addictive. I then went to my doctor, he said no, no, but you should never just quit any medicine. So after a year I started taking more of the tramadol noticing I needed more to keep the pain away. "


"I've been taking Tramadol 50 mg 4x day for 15+ years with no side effects, and very good results.  I have chronic sciatica, acute scoliosis, stenosis, and  arthritis of the spine causing inflammation with swelling in the lumbar area.  I was living with incredible pain till my PCP suggested Tramadol.  What a relief it has been for me.  When needed, I use Ibuprofen for the swelling and inflammation.  It has given me the return to my active life, which includes aerobics, strength training, QiGong and TaiChi.

I have found acupuncture and leg massage the answer for restless legs."


"My hot flashes were terrible. A lot during the day and at least 6 - 8 at night. Waking me up, so can't get enough sleep. I took the brisdelle and at first I didn't think it was working. About 4 weeks in, I noticed a big change and now I'm 7 weeks in and have not had one hot flash in the last three weeks. I'm sleeping again and not sweating all day long. The only drawback was the first 3 weeks. I was exhausted, had some muscle twitching and a backache. All gone now, but getting used to it was not easy but worth it."


"I've been on paroxitine 20mg now for 3 days. I'm 27 years old who was heading for a breakdown, my nerves were terrible to the stage I could not cope with life, crying all the time, so far I am very irritable, feeling sick, tired, and just not feeling myself, but I am so much better! I am calm, I can laugh now, I honestly feel this can work. It's only been 3 days and I myself see an improvement, so hang in there. Don't read the negatives or you'll never take it or get better."


"I was diagnosed in 2009, had lumpectomy,  chemo, radiation.  Managed to continue working through it all. Then took tamoxifen for 2 1/2 years...had horrible muscle cramping and hot flashes, switched to letrozole after determining I was post menopausal. The major muscle cramps lessened considerably, as did the hot flashes. I took this for 2 1/2 years, just stopping 3 weeks ago. I have muscle, joint, bone achiness 24/7, no energy, tired always, feel like I'm in a fog, tinnitus,  heartburn, slow metabolism with weight gain. How long will it take to reverse all of these side effects now that I no longer take it? I even quit taking ibuprofen because it doesn't do anything for the pains.  I am now 2 months from being 50 years old."


"After 12 weeks on Qsymia I have lost 20 pounds. Qsymia is NOT a magic diet pill, it will not burn your carbs, or make you change your eating habits, it does ONE thing and one thing only- it will KILL your appetite. My appetite monster on any given day during Qsymia is killed 70-85%. My weight loss has been slow but steady as I realized that my weight loss was 100% dependent on what I SHOVE in my mouth on any given day. I started taking the drug in early February (during flu season) and craved a lot of hot salty soups and comfort foods as I battled several colds and virus's. My weight loss was very slow during that period. You MUST drop your carbs, and boost your protein intake to loose weight. I drink a big fat protein shake every morning."


"I had back surgery (Laminectemy of L4, L5 and S4 , 8 inch titanium rod w/7 screws)in October 2006 plus I have severe Fibromyalgia and although Percocet makes me a little sleepy, this is the first time in 4 years that I feel relatively pain free. About 5 doctors were afraid of giving me anything stronger than regular Vicoden because of habit forming. Who cared if I couldn't walk or participate in activities. I finally found a doctor that was willing to help! Sometimes they give dogs more pallative care than humans. I should have gone to a vetenerian instead. "


"I was on Adipex for 1 year and lost a lot of weight. Before I started this I was 220lbs. When I was done my weight was 160lbs. I lost more inches then I could believe, I went from a size 22 to a size 14. The medicine works. The only thing I don't like is once I was off the medicine I gained my weight back quick and had a lot of side effects such as depression, moody, cravings, couldn't sleep at night, headaches. I went through the side effects for about 4 months after I was off the pill."


"Female, 28 and have been on Strattera for 5 months and it has changed my life.
Went back to a college to finish my high-school degree, after having dropped out of high school in year 9 due to pure inability to focus. I was always in a daydream before this med. Motivation is increased 10x fold. I also had panic attack disorder with half a dozen panic attacks every day! About 3 weeks into this med and the anxiety lifted. Anxiety is 100% gone. No other med in my life has ever done that. Not even actual anxiety medications.
I'm more social. Have more energy and general satisfaction with life.
I am so happy with this medication and truly believe this is an absolute miracle medication. I think this medication is more for people who have ADHD-PI"


"This is an early review as I just started it on 10/16/16 but the food cravings are gone, it takes less food to satisfy me, soda tastes terrible, cigarettes taste different and bad  (which is a surprising good side effect!) and I just feel better with less food in me. I have tried phentermine with no luck and usually had good success with natural weight loss until being diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and needing a knee replacement that keeps me from working out too much. So so far, I am impressed. I'll be back in a few weeks for a weigh in review. No side effects like others have had with mental fogginess or tingling. 25mg 2x day. Here's hoping my 235 can become 155 again!"


"After I had my baby in September, I decided to get Nexplanon. I got it implanted in November and had normal periods for about two months and then they stopped altogether!"


"Wow! Before taking this I couldn't even touch my foot, now I am 95% pain free! Brilliant!"


"To cut the story short got sex with my husband on my fertile day (14th day) most fertile period, so worried that I might get pregnant took the pill 14 hrs later. Feel nauseated, tender breast and severe headache but luckily after a week have my period now."


"I am on the last three days of the 2nd two week application step. I'm using on my forehead and cheeks and what a mess. I'm covered in red itchy weeping spots and blotches. I have nausea but that's the price you pay for baking in the sun as a kid. I'm 62. This medicine seems to work and if you don't mind looking like your face caught fire for a few weeks to maybe save your life then go for it. "


"Relpax has been a wonder drug for me..other than having to wait an hour for it to kick in, I've had no side effects at all.  The only worry I have is the neurologist told me that it can stop working if you use it too often."


"This antibiotic did horrible for me, it gives me bad migraines even though i drink a ton of water with it, I'm on the second day and have a horrible migraine my spine hurts to walk, server leg cramps, joint pain too.. it's awful.. i will know now to never take this again... my body did not react well. the side effects are not worth it... next time i will be sure to tell my doctor to never prescribe me this again!"


"My experience with it.  The medicine works great for itch relief (pruritis) and anxiety.  I have Graves Disease, this was to treat anxiety temporarily after thyroid storm.  The problem I had with it was it made me to doped feeling to function normally.  I stayed tired and experienced grumpiness and lack of patience.  I've taken Xanax, and Elavil before and definitely was able to work, socialize normally unlike this medicine, there is no way I can take it every four to six hours and function throughout the day. I've never been one to tolerate antihistamines very well, I get the shakes etc., and  experienced the same with the Vistaril.  All that aside, at night it did help me sleep, help the anxiety as it's supposed too."


"Bydurean is working for me, albeit with a few side effects.  The injection site lumps are an irritation that goes away after 6-9 weeks, only to be replaced by others.  I hate the thick needle, but hate even more when the needle gets stuck and won't inject some weeks, and I need to re-inject.   I get nausea when my sugar levels drop quickly, and especially go below 5.6 mmol/l , which happens after exercise.  I have found this a good excuse for a beer with team mates, and have to have glocose/sweets available a period 1-2 hours after strenuous exercise (surfing especially).

My weight has dropped steadily about 1kg/month without a change of diet, but I am just inclined to eat less.  I have reduced insulin levels 50%, and don't use after sport."


"This medication was working great with an occasional headache then menopause started and my internal medicine doctors switched my blood pressure meds to clonidine and now I'm tired all the time, and have gained 30 pounds in two months. My memory is getting worse and I'm slightly depressed.
I think I would rather deal with the hot flashes, occasional headache, along with swelling ankles and energy. I'm weaning myself of clonidine and going back to amlodipine besylate and hydrochlorothiazide today."


"Paxil has changed my life for the better. I am 39 years and up until a mobth ago I had been dealing with major social and personal anxiety along with bipolar depression and agoraphobia. I had been prescribed a variety of prescription medications by different doctors over the years until last month by chance a new doctor (a general practitioner) suggested Paxil.

It has now been a month and I am a whole new person. I have full of confidence and clear thinking. My thought process is in a positive direction and I'm constantly looking for was to improve my mind, body and spirit.  I now have a new job after being on SSI for 4 years I thought I would go to my grave on government assistance. PAXIL SAVED MY LIFE!!!"


"It's a good pain medication if you have genital herpes. I know they say to take Panadol but it's just not effective enough. This is much better."


"I have been taking this in combination with Citalopram 40mg for about 7 years. This drug controlled my racing thoughts and allowed me to sleep properly. My initial dose was 7.5mg but I am now down to 2.5mg. For me now it feels that 7.5mg was a very strong dose but I needed it at the time.

I had no negative side effects. No withdrawal on reducing dosage. I don't suffer undue hunger - actually for me my depression contributed to a lack of appetite so any effect was actually beneficial to me. For me it worked wonders and enabled me to work.

I think with all these drugs there are different effects on different people and each person is also suffering a unique conditions. I was lucky in that my doctor hit on the right combination for me day 1"


"I was just prescribed Adipex today (FINALLY). Long story short - I was about 30 pounds overweight in 2002 when my husband was deployed to the war. I decided t use that time to LOSE WEIGHT. I got the meds, and in 5 months I had already lost 55  pounds! I was thrilled. I wouldn't send my husband a photo of me, because I wanted to surprise him. Boy was he! He stopped in his tracks and mouthed %u1E84OW Then three years later I got a brain tumor. The cancer medications, and the steroids that I had to take to try to control the tumor, made me GAIN it all back PLUS another 45 pounds! (Plus I lost my hair). Well fast forward about 8 years, I have lost 55 lbs. Doc prescribed Adipex to help get the rest off! Wish me luck!"


"I'm a 40-something mom and was just recently diagnosed with executive function issues. My doctor thought this might help me with focus issues. I had to stop taking after 2 douse. I felt light headed and like I wanted to jump out of my skin. When I stopped, I felt exhausted and got a major headache. I'm glad the medication works for some but it definitely didn't work for me."


"I used this for endometriosis and birth control. Nexplanon works great for pregnancy prevention, and while I was breastfeeding I had no issues. Once I stopped, it became useless for me. I had it put it to help with my endometriosis pain, and it hasn't done a thing. "


"I've been on Pristiq for about a month now. The results have been varied. It's hard to gauge exactly how it has affected me, because my fianc"


"I started having seizures when I was 16 (I'm now 23), with no past family history. The cause of them are still unknown, and without medication I have one every 4-5 months while sleeping. My first anti-epileptic medication was Lamictal from which I suffered a severe rash. I started Keppra (500mg 2x daily) and haven't had a seizure since taking it (knock on wood). After two years of treatment, I came off from Keppra and had a seizure after 5 months without the medication. I'm back on it, and have been seizure-free for almost two years now. I do have side effects from Keppra though. I'm tired a lot, have mood swings, experience bouts of insomnia, headaches, and dizziness. Overall the medicine works well, but obviously would like to be off it."


"I've been on viibryd for over 4 years, 20mg. After being a zombie for 4 years bc of depression, followed by two years as a robot on Prozac, viibryd has been a miracle for me. Reading the other reviews, especially the negative ones, has been mind boggling, but goes to show how different everyone is. It took about 4 months for it to work on me. My partner was also on Prozac then viibryd, is on 40mg viibryd right now and he had an immediate change. Sexually we are the same: he has no dysfunction, and I'm as sensitive as ever. Sexual drive the same. No serious side effects. A few years back I woke up in a very soaked bed, sweating. I went to the doctor and my MD recommended I take viibryd in PM not AM. Month later, back to AM and fine since!!"


"I just start Yaz almost 4 weeks ago. I am 42 years old, I have my tubes tied so I don't need this for birth control but I started having perimenapause issues and I needed something to fix my hormones asap. I actually asked for Yaz. The first three days I was extremely tired but I was also extremely chill. After day 2 things started looking better and each day after that it gets better and better. This has helped the moods quite a bit, right now the only con is that my sex drive is lower but I am going to give my body some more time to adjust to the hormones before I make any changes. I plan on taking this pill back to back to eliminate my periods. I'll check back in another month."


"Did not help my back pain at all. A week after starting the medication I had ONE glass of wine at about 8pm. Less then an hour later I passed out and did not wake up until 2pm the next day. I missed work and apparently my family was trying to wake me up but I seemed to be sleep walking and have no recollection of what I was saying. "


"i suffered from severe panic disorder which resulted in me being hospitalised multiple times from chest pain. I went on to have s complete mental breakdown, suffered crippling anxiety and had to give up my home and move back to my parents. At its peak, I couldn't leave my bed - I was shaking with fear, panic, worry. I spent hours reading reviews looking for hope. I was under the care of a psychiatrist who prescribed antidepressants (Mirtazapine - helped me sleep, Escitalopram - helped anxiety a little at 20mg) I was offered Xanax which helped enormously but I was worried about addiction. We then tried pregabalin - amazing! You will feel out of it for a few days which is uncomfortable. Stick with it and ramp up. 450mg-600mg is needed."


"I've never commented before online about my success or otherwise with drugs but I just had to with this one. IT HAS BEEN AMAZING. I realised today I'm actually glad to be alive."


"I started out Valium for about 20 years 10 mg x 4 a day. Used for anxiety and sleep. It worked was a comfort to know most of the time used 2 per day so I always had extra. I think knowing I had extras help almost as much. Then Dr changed prescription to alprazolam 2 mg tablets 4 times a day, some heavy difference, at first it worked well . In the beginning I felt it 30 minutes after I took it and only needed 2 per day, now I'm at 4 per day that's 8 mgs and I don't feel it , I don't know about withdrawals but I hear it's pretty hard to get off and I've been on them for 30 years. Not sure what to expect but think I would feel more alert and energetic too"


"I have had the first shot of depo and I bleed for 2 months strait I went to the gyno and they had to get the layer of decayed uterin wall and the gyno advised me not get on the depo shot anymore because he's had to many women come in with the same problem. So I would advise get the rod in your arm it's strictly progestin just like depo but you don't have any bleeding at all"


"I really like BELVIQ! I just wish it wasn’t excluded by pretty much every insurance company."


"I got my implanton on july 1st 15. I am so far thrilled with it. I was on the second day of my period when I went in to get my Mirena. Due to complications with insertion (OUCH) I did not receive the Mirena. My doc recommended the implanton, I had done little research about it but opted to get the implant. She numbed the injection site and it was in, with slight discomfort, in seconds. The reason I gave a 9 is because the next day I felt overwhelmed with emotions and was very light headed and tired. Besides that it completely stopped my period that day and I havent spotted or bled at all. I have a 2 month old daughter and knowing I am safe for 3 years is super reassuring. I would recommend this form of bc!"


"I just got my skyla in yesterday so this rating is only for the insertion process itself. I have been on the pill for the past year and a half but I wasn't very good at taking it on time and correctly so my doctor and I decided to try an IUD. As I'm 18 and have never had kids the skyla it was. I'm not going to lie I tend to overestimate how much something is going to hurt and end up being fine but unfortunately that wasn't the case for this. The pain was definitely there and actually hurt more than I thought it would. I couldn't stand up for about ten minutes after the insertion and driving home was a a nightmare. I had to pull over because my vision was blurry. Be cautious with this. Hoping the good outweighs the bad."


"I have been taking Exforge with another medication for about 7 months.  It has worked well for me.  I recently have had some weight gain and swelling in my hands and lower legs."


"I got my Paragard after my 2nd son 5 years ago and decided I would do a review because I see a lot of negative reviews! I haven't had any complications with my Paragard, I love my Paragard!!! My husband wants to try for a little girl but I'm not ready yet so Paragard is perfect for me until I decide if I want another baby or not. I love that it is hormone free and lasts 10 years!"


"Wow...

Doc prescribed this at night, and Mirversa in the morning, along with a sulfur face wash for my rosacea.  Mirversa is going in the trash.  Soolantra does the trick!  My face feels so soft, and cooler with this ointment!"


"I've even on the patch for just over a year now. I like the patch, but there are side effects. Be careful putting the patch near your groin muscles. It can cause blood clot. And it is extremely painful! It happened to me and I'm still in the patch I'm just a lot more careful of where I stick it to. Stick it on your lower back or your bum. Your bum would probably be the bet spot because the patch easily gets stuck on your jeans, shirt, bra, and will come off if you don't notice in time! Overall this birth control is very effective. But remember double the protection, better chances of staying on the safe side."


"Absolutely love it. Only birth control method that I have used that I have had literally zero side effects from. Every other I have tried (Mircette, Beyaz, Ortho Tri-cyclen and one other I can't recall) have all caused weight gain, anxiety/agitation, nausea, extremely decreased sex drive and various other symptoms. All I do is put in the ring and forget about it, no issues. "


"I used this b.c pill for month and suffered from a lot of side effect. Being extremely emotional and cry for no reason. Heavy bloated and abdominal pain that I couldn't realized if that is a symptom of endo or what? Headaches, difficulty sleeping at night, shortness of breath I stopped after a month and most of symptoms are gone never going back on this pill again. Now I'm using visanne just for 3 month as per my GP to see if endo is shrinking. Much better choice so far."


"Age 23. I had my 1st Mirena at age 18 due to very heavy and painful periods. The first 3 years my period had stopped (can't remember after what month)  with just a few days of spotting here and there. During the last 2 year of my Mirena insertion, my period returned. They were normal when compared to my periods before the insertion. So I had a new Mirena inserted 12/14/16. It's been 5 months and  I have had very heavy periods every month with painful cramps. I have to empty my menstrual cup every 3 hours (when nomal periods can go 12hrs without emptying). I'm going to wait another month to see what happens but I might switch to the pill if this continues. Has anyone's period stopped after 6 months or a year?"


"I tool the pill yesterday morning after unprotected sex. By the afternoon I felt so tired. Today I felt really nauseous and a little tired. I also started my period today. 10 days early !! Guess it's not a bad thing (yet) ."


"For a while I was struggling with the worst most painful acne of my life. I bought a tube of Differin for $15 and within a week inflammation was down and things were looking good.  2 months into it I don't have a single pimple on my face. I only wash my face once every 3 days to help prevent over drying and every night I remove my makeup, use a micellar water, apply a layer of Differin, and then an oil mixture to moisturize. I've found that facial oil rather than a moisturizer increases the effectiveness of Differin, it almost seals it close to the skin at night. Wouldn't recommend Differin to everyone, but it worked wonders for me. Its all about patience and dedication."


"No more effective or longer lasting than aspirin."


"I'm 35 and have had sinus infections as long as I can remember. Prior to my allergy shots I was getting them 3-4x a year. Z-PAC is my favorite and it cures it quickly. Once in a blue
Moon I'll need another round though. But lately my doctors have said the bacteria has been resistant to it and I've used another medication and though it works it takes so much longer. I'm happy to say that I'm Told The bacteria this year isn't supposed to be as resistant to it.  For all the ladies, you may want to ask for yeast infection meds before you leave the doctors office. For me It never fails."


"my doctor used this right before surgery and 3 days after. I normally get so sick from general anesthesia but with this patch on I never once got that nausea feeling. It worked like a charm!!! I took it off today and got a slight headache, im guessing just slight withdrawl."


"Let me just say that I had back surgery 9 years ago in addition to have 2 discs replaced and my spine fused. And 5 years ago I had a Spinal cord Stim implant. I've taken every known Pain Med out there and the last combination of medicines I tried Nuycnta 100mg and Opana. Which these 2 combined worked to alleviate 60% of the pain. I was still working while on these meds. I stumbled on something that worked for me and I swear by it. I know people that have Lupus, Cancer, and MS that now use it instead of all the other pain meds out there. Good luck!"


"So for pain there just alright like a 7  they do last longer than other pain pills- but for my deprssion I feel like a better more capable man when I'm on them.  When my supply is gone and I cant find a doc or medical I become suicidal. With them I can live a normal or somewhat normal life"


"I love My lo loestrin fe  1 year  i use is 100 % plus A"


"Have been on multiple antidepressants in my lifetime, all were duds. They caused weight gain, fluctuating moods, extreme sadness. My doctor has recently prescribed me 20mg of Cymbalta, after 2 weeks I will switch to 40mg, 20mg in the morning and 20mg in the evening. After reading reviews online I am hopeful, as everyone has reviewed it mainly positive. Currently after being on it for 5 days I am experiencing MAJOR nausea. I can barely breathe without wanting to throw up everywhere. Thankfully, a coworker has given me "phenergan", which is used for nausea, but it is a prescription pill. I called my doctor and explained that this has helped, and she refused putting me on another prescription just to treat the side effects of Cymbalta. SOS!"


"I have severe RLS and have slept on the floor for 25 years because the hardness of the floor against the muscles in my legs give a some relief.  I have been on Requip for about 4 months and take 2 mg about 1.5 hours before bed.  The effectiveness is hit or miss.  On a good night I fall asleep in about 30 minutes but wake up 3 to 5 hours later and toss and turn until the alarm goes off.  On a bad night, I get about 2 hours of fitfull sleep and then my legs ACHE for the rest of the night.  Requip causes my legs to swell and I have had to increase my blood pressure meds.  Also it has given me some very interesting dreams.  All in all it is better than nothing because nothing means NO sleep ever.  I wish my Doc would give me something else."


"For me it was a wonder drug. Started at 2.5mg. Now up to 20. The only draw back is the weight gain. I may consider weaning off because of it."


"Test came back, had a UTI. Had one a month ago, so doctor thought it would be a good idea to put me on something else. Something stronger. It has been day two on Cipro, and I went from feeling fine to feeling like I have the flu. Lots of muscle aches, lots of dizziness, lots of nausea. I never read side effect labels on meds. So I look up Cirpo online, and lawd, this medication has a black box warning?! WTF?!  I called my doc and told him this ain't going to cut it. Would very much like to get rid of an infection without having muscular, nerve, and who-knows-what-else for the rest of my life! Watch what you're  putting in your bodies, folks."


"This drug saved my life. If taken as prescribed, it will help you with your opiate dependency. You will not feel withdrawl symptoms, and you will soon find yourself loosing the desire to use illegal drugs. I was a heroin user for 15 years, until my doctor recommended this drug along with a 12 step program. My life has changed for the better. I recommend this as a last resort. If you have tried every other option to get off opiates, and failed, you have nothing to loose. If you try to abuse Suboxone, you will get sick. Again, this medicine saved my life."


"I recently had testing for chronic urticaria with Hashimoto (with normal thyroid levels). And came out positive which means I have to deal with hives and swelling. At first I was only taking Benadryl but it only put me to sleep and wake up with the same symptom. So my specialist suggested I take one zyrtec a day, but I was still having symptoms two times a week (remind you I was having hives and swelling every single day from morning to night) so even though I was having symptoms 2 times a week it was a relief but I was looking for a complete relief. So then again my specialist suggested instead of taking one 10g Zyrtec pill I would move on to taking two 10g Zyrtec pills a day. And thankfully it has changed my life! I Don't get drowsy!"


"I have had the Nexplanon for almost a year now and I really like it. I had light spotting for a whole month right after insertion. Now I only get a light period once every three months that lasts about a week which is very nice. My sex drive did decline although I can't totally blame that on the Nexplanon. Other then that I haven't had any other negative side effects so far. The insertion was a piece of cake but I did have bruising for a few days. It works great for me and right now I plan on getting another one inserted once my time is up."


"I've been on YAZ since I was 16 (now 26). I used to be happy all the time, excited about life, enjoy sex and just fine. Since I've been taking YAZ I gone from mild to severe depression, anxiety attacks, uncontrolled bouts of crying, panic attacks and now I may have first signs of glaucoma. I now take high doses of antidepressants. My mental health shows no signs of improving. It has gotten worse as I have gotten older. I went to a psychiatrist a few years back and she put me on Prozac, but the symptoms have gotten worse. Now I'm on triple doses of anti-depressants. After reading these articles and the side effects of other users I'm confident it is the result of YAZ. I attend a medical school, so I shall have tests done next week."


"Just wow. I frequently suffer from migraines and excedrin usually does the trick. Every so often I'll get these headaches that last for days and excedrin won't work. My doctor prescribed me Treximet and what a difference. I like this drug because if you don't take it at the beginning of a migraine it STILL works. I had a migraine for 24 hours+ and took one this morning. Within 30 min it was fading and in an hour it was gone. The first time I took Treximet I did have the neck stiffness and fatigue, but the second time no side effects except a dry mouth and heavy feeling in legs that passed quickly. So worth not having to deal with a headache that can really ruin your whole day and just make you want to lie in a cool dark room. Love Treximet."


"Headache, flatulence"


"I had been on birth control pills for almost 5 years and decided I wanted a change.  I learned about the Implanon rod and even though I had read many negative reviews online, I decided to give it a try.  I got the implant in February 2011 and have been very pleased with it ever since.  I did have lots of spotting the first month after I got the implant and then the occasional spotting afterwards, but I've been spotting and period free for a few months now and it feels wonderful.  I haven't noticed any weight gain, but I did notice that over the summer months I had for the first time in my life, back acne."


"I started taking Phentermine HCL March 18, 2008 weighing 194.5lbs and today (May 8) I am weighing in at 178lbs. I have more energy to work and play with my son. I have not had any trouble sleeping, and my life has only gotten better. It was recommended to me by a friend who has lost 50 pounds since December. I would recommend this to anyone who has tried every other diet pill. This DOES work. It won't leave you disappointed. TRY IT!"


"Fioricet was the only thing that would reduce my pain effectively, but can not take on an empty stomach!"


"I like the pill for the light and short periods and for the obvious, not getting me pregnant.  I have a slight problem. For the past few months I've been getting a period every two weeks. It's annoying and I am thinking it has to do with the low dose. Anyone else have this problem or is it just me? p.s. I've been on the pill for about 9 months."


"Stopped seizures, caused strange behavior and severe depression."


"I have fibromyalgia and severe arthritis.  This medicine is the only thing I have taken that relieves some of the pain and makes life tolerable.  I take 300mg, three times a day and will be increasing to six times daily shortly.  The drowsiness side effect is somewhat bothersome but doable.  My main complaint about it is that I have what I call drifting thoughts and they are very abstract thoughts.  I have learned to somewhat manage them but am worried that they will increase with the increased dosage as will the drowsiness."


"I'm a happy person and never had depression or anxiety in all my life until I got on this BC. I started getting sad, then the sadness started to feel like depression... almost debilitating... then anxiety started to kick in. I thought maybe I should give it a little more time because my body was adjusting, but the last straw was 7 months into taking it, I started getting suicidal and PSYCHOTIC thoughts at a family party!! I was freaking out and it felt like I had voices in my head! I have a friend who loves this BC, but unfortunately it did not work for me :(. BC is really a trial and error and different for everyone. This is the only BC that has made me CRAZYYYY! I had a better experience with Nuva Ring  and Lomedia 24Fe."


"I personally have not taken this medication but my mother has. I am 19 and she started taking it when I was 12. It for the most part helped her insomnia but the side effects were extreme. I would have to stay up until she had fallen asleep because if I didn't she would do things and not remember them the next morning. She would take our dog for a walk in the dark at 10 at night by herself. There was one occasion where she woke up on our neighbors cement front porch with our dog. She had no recollection of how she got there. She would eat strange things like vineager and ketchup chicken quesadillas, she would fall down the stairs, she would lose things, and she got very addicted. Coming off it was horrible. The night terrors were insane"


"My pain level was10  most of the  pain from severe back problems down my left leg into my foot. After many medicines which made me groggy sick to my stomach and not able to really function. My doctor prescribed  Nucynta ER. I can function without most side affects. The only side effect seemed to be like a light recall problem. When carrying on a conversation. Example names and places times. I could go all around what I wanted to say then finally. It would come to me."


"Consider mirtzapine if you have intractable insomnia. I'm a recovering alcoholic and my sleep patterns got thoroughly screwed up during my drinking years. Mirtzapine 30 milligrams provides the most natural sleep I have ever had in my life. I sleep for eight hours and wake refreshed the way I did when I was teenager. It's so much better than benzos. Doctors may be reluctant to prescribe because of the chance of weight gain. I did gain weight because it gave me the munchies. But it levelled off at about a 7-pound gain. But it did level off!!! And you may feel completely zonked for the first two or three days. It's a good idea to start on the weekend. But again, the extreme drowsiness did disappear after a few days for me."


"I have been on this birth control for about three months. Although my periods are shorter, I have had really bad side effects. It has made me very moody, I have had really bad headaches, and I have experienced major hair loss. It freaked me out and I switched back to my prior birth control."


"Was prescribed this for morning sickness. It helped with the sickness, but it knocked me out for 6 hours or more not long after taking it. I had to change to another medicine."


"I got this implant in September of 2015. Nexplanon was appealing to me because I wanted long term protection with no human error. The insert was fine, they numb your arm and you wear a wrap for 24 hours. I started bleeding within a week or so of the implant being placed. Since then (it is now May of 2017) I have been bleeding. I would say the longest I have been without bleeding would be two weeks. It got to the point that I stopped even trying to track it. I bleed about 15 days of each month. Just got removed! Switching to Kyleena IUD with hopes of a better experience. It works in that I didn't get pregnant, but I don't even know what it is like to not be bleeding."


"The drug so far has been ineffective.  I was prescribed Amoxicillin 875mg 2x/day to treat my strep throat infection.  I'm an adult and my only symptom is a swollen, painful to touch lymph node on the left side of my neck.  Today is day 6 and I still don't see any difference compared to day 1."


"My doctor prescribed this for depression issues/severe anxiety associated with adult ADD. I was very resistant to try, have been put on multiple other meds that made things much worse. I take 50mg daily. Immediately felt almost "euphoric." With each passing day, I feel better in every sense, and the anxiety is gone. I NEVER write any posts EVER, but this has been an unbelievable game changer. I have been battling these issues since childhood, and I can truly say I feel happy and hopeful about my future. The "internal storm" inside that I battled every day to cope with is gone. No side effects except for some vivid, strange dreams-but those are dissipating. I hope this helps someone-if this one doesn't help, keep trying and never give up."


"I have been taking Demerol for several years for pain and it is the only medication that has worked for me. It is amazing how well it works without side effects. "


"I take 800 mg TID, which seems to me a high dose. It's still a bit hit or miss on neuropathic pain coverage. When it works it's great! I know it works from comparison to the week- or month-long periods I've not taken it, when the pain is much worse. Still, it can't compare to other meds I've tried like Cymbalta which provide awesome pain control (downside to Cymbalta is insomnia tho). Narcotic pain meds work somewhat too, but mainly by changing my attitude towards the pain, not really lowering it, so they are a poor option for me."


"I got the skyla implant about a month ago. It hurt to have it inserted and I had cramps for the rest of the day, but then I was golden! No more cramps! My sexual partners can't feel a thing and weirdly enough.... My sex drive is OUT OF CONTROL! I feel like it has really increased my sex drive. Never experienced that before. My period was a little lighter and I have not had any weight gain as of yet."


"Works as promised with no side effects.
BM starts right away. Acts fast."


"When I first started taking Victoza I got pretty sick on my stomach. So much so that I couldn't eat hardly anything. I lost a good bit of weight pretty fast, but I wasn't eating much at all. I tried taking a ginger suplement which helped a little. Mainly, you just have to get used to it. After a couple of months it was better as far as feeling sick. However, my 2 main goals were met - getting my blood sugar under control and losing weight. I have been on it for 9 months and lost over 35 pounds! I feel great now and my last HbA1c was less than 6 (it had been over 11). I was able to cut my metformin in half. "


"I take Amitriptyline for nerve damage resulting from my stroke.  I started to itch in the evenings as a result of the nerve damage.  This really helps and I sleep well with this medicine too."


"Seroquel helped with my panic attacks and break downs, but it made me feel lifeless (which I prefer versus crying). However I experienced ever side effect listed and even ended up in the ER! My heart was beating uncontrollably and sharp pains, I thought I was having a heart attack. I had to get monitored for 6 hours. Also I lost strength in moving limbs. It works but too many side effects. "


"I have been on and off Provigil a couple times over the past few years after being diagnosed with sleep apnea. I first started with 100mg and a CPAP machine. I soon began to feel better but the CPAP did not last because I kept ripping it off in the night. So I ended both. Recently I have gone back on Provigil taking 200mg for shift differential disorder because of the long shifts and my inability to stay awake and falling asleep driving. What a difference. I can stay awake for my 12 hour shift and the 1 hour drive each way to work. I feel if I had not gone back on it I most likely would have wrecked to or from work by now. Only down fall is an occasional upset stomach if I don't eat before or immediately after taking it."


"I am borderline average/overweight for a 5'3 woman just wanted to lose about ten pounds.  Extremely effective but as the other reviews state two for me was way too much! Uncontrollable shaking but the heart pounding was nothing less than frightening."


"I was on loestrin for about 5 years until I decided to take a break and get off the pill. Although my skin was clear and it was effective at basically eliminating my period and most cramping, DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL. It gave me horrible mood swings, anxiety and made me irrational, unreasonable and angry (basically insane) - which I didn't realize until I stopped taking it. I honestly thought I was just me until I got off and felt much more like myself. I've been happy and upbeat ever since."


"Months 1-2= no cramping, came right on time, incredibly light, period lasted 1-3 days, no weight gain, no acne
Month 3= crazy mood swings, not myself, didn't feel motivated, hurt my family/boyfriend's feelings a lot.
months 4,5= felt normal again, happy in my relationships, acne normal, no weight gain still, period came a week early both months with lots of brown discharge and then bleeding the week of my period
month 6= period came right on time, mild cramping, no mood swings, acne normal, period not heavy but not as light as months 1-2
Overall, stick with this pill. It can be rocky, but I think I've gone through everything and am leveling out."


"I have been on it for about a month on and off and lost 20 pounds. I didn't excercise at first, but have made it to the gym everyday this past week. It makes you aware of what you eat and how much you eat. I put myself on a strict eating plan of all fruits, veggies, and lean meats.

I have 3 friends who have taken it and it has changed their lives! It is a miracle pill!

I noticed in the beginning I would wake up multiple times a night (but would always have maximum energy all day) so I took a Benadryl at night and it fixed it until I forgot to take it, and I realized I sleep all night without it now!

It has helped me, and for me I don't consider it a quick fix because I'm more aware of what I consume. Just 40pds more to go for me!"


"I've been on this pill for a year to treat PCOS. My periods were very irregular and I experienced spotting and a low sex drive for first three months after starting. Then I was having normal 3-4 day periods every other month.  I also had trouble with nausea and an upset stomach but it subsided after a week or so. I continued to workout and eat somewhat healthy and I was still able to lose weight. My only complaint was that after starting the pill, my skin got very sensitive to the chlorine in the pool."


"I take Seroquel when required for anxiety and it works! I used to take Klonopin (and have been through the cycle of benzodiazapines) and it caused significant memory problems, of which it makes me very angry. I don't have the memory problems with the Seroquel and it totally stomps out my anxiety. I take 25mg and it has worked great. The drawback to this medication is that it makes me hungry. I am trying to maintain a healthy weight (and lose some weight as well)."


"MARIE501

I wanted to share my first day on Phentermine. I weighed myself this morning at 225.8. I am a diabetic Type 2 and my A1C levels are 13.3! Yikes. I tried the Low Carb High Fat diet and it worked. I lost 8 lbs in week, but it was extremely difficult to continue.

How I feel: This morning after taking pill, I could barely eat! I feel weak, but also energized (weird). I am having dry mouth, but not severe, and blurred vision. Im extremely excited to see how this works for me. Hopefully the diet treats me well.

Tips: Make sure you start on like a Thursday or Friday or weekend, that way you can experience the symptoms at home rather than work.

CW : 225
1 GW : 200
2 GW: 155

I will update you guys next Friday"


"I recently started experiencing severe migraines following a whopping concussion. They completely take me out with crazy pain, pressure, dizziness, and confusion. They often last around 12 hours and are accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Today my neurologist prescribed me relpax. It was perfect timing as I felt a migraine coming on this evening. At first, I didn't think it was working, but right at about 45 minutes, I began to feel relief.  After two hours, I feel so much better!  I feel a little bit drowsy,  but completely worth it! I am so grateful for relpax! It works!"

"I'm 15 years old and took this to regulate my period and so far it has worked. I can't exactly say if it's "good" as this is my first birth control pill. I do have to say that in the first month I gained 5 pounds and haven't been able to lose it despite a lot of running and gym time. No nausea or fatigue, everything seems pretty normal. The only problem is mood swings. I have regularly been sad and depressed, crying all the time and not in a good mood. I feel like overall it was a good pill, but these mood problems are really starting to affect everything (school grades, friendships, and boys). Really hoping it ends soon!"


"I love Chantix! It's amazing. Only side effects I had was a little nauseous and some gas, but only if I didn't eat something or drink water with it, very very mild tiredness, nothing a coffee or coke couldn't resolve quickly, and very wild and vivid dreams almost realistic, but to be honest I really enjoyed them. I have like no desire to smoke whatsoever. Strangest/ coolest thing in the world."


"I have had no problems with trulicity other than weight loss. I have been taking the injectable .75 for 8 weeks now with absolutely no problems. I'm not sure of my A 1 C as they are doing it February 10th. I have found I have absolutely no appetite and have to force myself to eat or even remember to eat as I always seem to have that "full" feeling. Dr also has me on the once a day dose of Januvia and glipizide. I'll update on my a1c when it's checked again. Thank goodness for my insurance paying anything that has to do with diabetes, as between Trulicity and Januvia, it would break the bank!"


"This medicine was just like taking Benadryl, only more expensive. An hour to two hours after taking Silenor, I still couldn't fall asleep...not even the slightest bit tired. Once I had fallen asleep, I would wake up 2-4 hours later and be wide awake for the rest of the night. "


"Doctor warned me it tasted bad.  Understatement.  HORRIBLE!  Numbs my mouth but is tolerable.  Noticed huge difference the next day.  Mood is great but I slept for 12 hours after first taking it.  I'm sure my body will get used to it and that will stop happening.  I'm supposed to take it twice a day but can't unless I want to sleep 24 hours a day.  I expect to take it twice daily once my body adjusts.  No other side effects except taste and sleep.  Didn't have to use Lunesta for first time in months."


"I've been taking this medication for my acne for less than a month and all the dark marks and pimples I had on my face are about 90% gone. This medicine is amazing. I take one pill twice a day, the only draw back is the symptoms. I have nausea like never before, loss of appetite, and dizzy spells. The symptoms for me are incredibly strong, but I put up with it because I've tried Epiduo, Retin A, Proactiv, Neutragena, doxycycline, clindamycin, but all were way too harsh on my skin or ineffective. Clean and Clear acne wash with aloe vera has worked the absolute best along with this medication. I would definitely recommend it to someone looking to get rid of acne quickly and completely."


"Subutex has changed my life. It's improved the quality of my life and family. I am able to function on a daily basis and be the mother my two beautiful boys deserve. I had a reaction to the generic buprenorphine (GI, abdominal pain). I am very upset that you will no longer be making the brand name Subutex as this has had a huge impact on the quality of my life. I'm hoping the other generic buprenorphine will work out for me."


"Been on Xeljanz XR 11 mg for about 10 days now. I've tried most of the infusion drugs and Methotrexate and none have worked.  It's a little early to tell for sure but I think it's helping. I don't have typical RA, no flares, I am in a constant flare. No coming and going unfortunately.  I also have whole body swelling, lucky me. But I am noticing a slight reduction in swelling.  I had gone up a full ring and shoe size. Today I could get on a ring I haven't been able to wear in years....yay! I have had some strange side effects. Extreme fatigue, depression,  skin crawling and a little paranoia. Not typical for me and I don't think for this drug either. I seem to always have the rare side effects with all medications. I'm hopeful though."


"I've been on this pill for 2 1/2 months now. It's been downhill since 3 days after I started taking it. I've experienced headaches more often, weight gain (10 lbs), water retention and bloating, my mood has changed radically, I snap all the time for no good reason, irrational agitation, irritability. My anxiety has spiked, I've had multiple anxiety attacks since starting this pill (I am also on an anxiety medication and have been for a year and a half and it's helped with my anxiety levels wonderfully until I started Orsythia), I'm almost at my breaking point with it. I'm going to finish out this month and switch to something else. The only positive thing I can say about Orsythia is that it has prevented pregnancy. Would not recommend."


"I suffered with Obsessive compulsive disorder & generalized anxiety disorder which caused depression and stress. I came on here in June looking for answers, I used to be on Sertraline but they stopped working after I had stopped and went back on them. I thought my life was over. I got put on 20mg Prozac by my Doctor, and it is the best medicine ever, I would highly recommend it, it gave me my life back, I am so happy, no more stresses. Also I have no side effects. Give it about 6 weeks trust me and you will see how this works. Unbelievable. 10/10!"


"I was sent home with samples of this medication.  I actually hesitated on taking it knowing that the maker would not help me with cost because of my insurance type.  So why try it if I was not going to be able to get it.  This medication is expensive, $1500.00 a month or so.  They should help everyone and not select groups.  I guess medication discrimination is ok.  In the end I never took it, no need to get my hope up for a better life.  Viberzi would rather have a negative review than help those in need.  Says a lot about a company."


"Ok. Lost a little weight over the two months. But experienced lightheadedness, fatigue, irritability and shakiness."


"I am a 17 year old girl. I weight 125 pounds,and am 5'5''. I have been on this medication for about 4 days now. I like it, but at the same time, I don't. This is the first birth control I have ever been on. So, I have been having mild nausea and headaches, but nothing else. I started this birth control with 4 days left in my period. It ended on time, and was very light for the last day or two. I take it around bedtime, but since I get that sick feeling, it keeps me from falling asleep easily. But don't feel discouraged. Once I fall asleep, I am knocked out for the night. It's great and then I wake up in the morning again, and feel sick, but it should get better after month 3. "


"I've been on Nuvaring for about 2 weeks now and I must say, WOW. What a difference from the last birth control I tired. (Ortho Tricylen-Lo). The pill made me (within 2 days of starting to take it) cry daily and feel hopeless and even interfered with my studies and social life. But so far I have had no side effects from Nuvaring minus the occasional very slight headache which I am already prone to and a little bit of extra discharge, which is also easily remedied. If you've had problems with the pill I would highly recommend Nuvaring. It's easy to put in, and you can't feel it at all, not even during strenuous exercise."


"I started taking Adipex-P on Jan 21,2012 and I have not had any side effects except for the dry mouth that can be controlled by drinking lots of water and so far I have lost 18lb. I'm in my 3rd month and hope this pill keeps working as it has been."


"I am 13 years old I've been on Vyvanse for about 7 years. It really helps me focus and concentrate on things that are important, it also helps me know when and when not to do things like talk when some one else is talking."


"I got nexplanon February 2015 at first my period was every 2 month which I loved. They are normal now. December 2015 I started gaining weight which I thought was just holiday so January I started exercising and lost 15 of the 30 pounds since I gained 10 back and and can't lose anything I diet exercise when ever my boyfriends not looking (I don't feel comfortable in front of him) and he's noticed the weight we got in a fight and he actually slipped up and called me fat. And said all I do is sit on my ass that's why I gained it. But I also got so depressed and cried over everything panic attacks every day and thought of self harm. The depression is gone now for the weight. I like it would give 10 stars except the depression and weight."


"My life has totally changed for the better since starting this medication about a year ago. I am 36 so when I was growing ADHD didn't exist, but I was that kid that couldn't sit still or concentrate and talked 24/7! This medication has given me my quality of life back, it lifted the "fog" that has always been in my brain and I can't be more thrilled to have found this Med! Thank you Adderall for giving me my life back!!!"


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


"I began taking Concerta at the age of 13 to treat my ADHD. I'm now 22, still taking 27MG of Concerta daily. Overall it has been helpful with managing my ADHD symptoms, I'm much less distracted and able to stick to one task at a time. It was especially helpful when I was in school because it was just so impossible for me to stay focused in class. As an adult it makes work so much easier for me because my job requires things to be done with a lot of precision. Side effects I've experienced have been headaches (occasionally migraines), inconsistent appetite, restlessness at night, some difficulty sleeping and constant thirst. Despite the side effects I feel that my overall quality of life has improved with taking Concerta to manage my ADHD."


"I have had my implant for two months now. The day of the implant, I got a little sick a few hours after but haven't had any illnesses since. My period started shortly after I finished the overlap of my birth control pill; I had to take it for a week after I got the implant. My periods are usually very light since I've been on the pill for so long and that didn't change much. It did last for about three weeks though.

As for the positive effects, there are a lot. I changed to the implant for ease along with a change because my libido was off. After I got the implant, I realized it was my BCP causing the libido issue. I also realized a couple of weeks after getting the implant that I wasn't biting my nails anymore. My mood is also better."


"I ended up with severe constipation after two weeks of being on this medication resulting in hospitalisation . Need two enemas . And a further 9 days on other laxatives before it cleared me bowel . I was in a lot of pain . Following that I have now got severe diarrhea and stomach pains . I have stopped taking it and waiting further advice from my gastro doctor"


"I had unprotected sex in June 2017 the next day I took plan b. Had what I thought was my period a week later but then got told it was probably only from the pill. I was freaking out waiting for my period. I took four pregnancy tests about 2 months later, all came out negative. I still had not gotten my period though so I was convinced the tests were wrong. I was dwelling on the situation so much I convinced myself I was showing when it really was just bloating. Four months later after taking plan b I finally got my period! This pill really does work and really messes up your cycle. Just give it time and try not to stress because stress really does delay it more. Take pregnancy tests if you're really concerned and trust them!!"


"Worked for a month then now symptons returning.  I have also suffered from a lack of appetite and have put weight on although no-one else has mentioned this."


"While this medicine helped, and really did snuff out the symptoms associated with my trauma disorder. It also had so many side effects. Taking it would put me into a sleepy sort of fog, and felt very out of it. We then tried Minipress, and have had much more success with that. I now use Abilify as an emergency medicine. It acts as a great last resort to stop all of the overly emotional symptoms associated with an attack/flash back, and helps put you back in a better place, even if it gets a bit foggy.  I haven't used it for a couple weeks now, but I haven't also worked on the trauma issues for a while as well. I'd give it a 10 for rare emergency use, and a 5 for day to day use due to its side effects, thus the 7"


"I've been on this pill for over three years, because I used to be so miserable when I got my period. I haven't had any bad side effects at all, and I no longer get such horrible cramps. I also have shorter, lighter periods and my skin has cleared up a lot. I also get a lot less moody now that I'm on it. I would recommend it to anyone."


"I got the monistate 3 day product a few months ago and it did actually work. I Just bought it again recently and a few hours after taking the first dose the itchiness was so intense. I seem to remember this from the last time. If you can get through the first day or so you'll be ok. It's just extremely uncomfortable"


"Works great but the side effects are awful!  Uncontrollable nausea & severe heartburn.  Yes, this is an NSAID that’s still absorbed by your body... if you have severe, chronic digestive issues and can’t take oral NSAIDS you can’t be on this patch!"


"I started to use this as a means to help with my tremor in my hand but notice how much better I feel as a person with anxiety I feel better on coping than I did before. I believe its helped me in more ways then in my tremor so big shout out to my dr."


"I really like this birth control. When I'm not on birth control I have extremely painful menstrual cramps, very heavy periods, and crazy hormonal acne breakouts. It took about 2 and a half months to see any improvements, but my face is almost always completely clear, I have much lighter cramps, and a much lighter flow. I did feel a little nauseous for the 1st couple days, but I had no weight gain and no other adverse health or psychological complaints. The only other complaint I could state would be that within a week of taking the pill, my sex drive was almost completely gone. The main reason I am staying on the birth control is for the acne treatment! It is something I have been struggling with for years and I am so happy with the results"


"I used zyban years ago to quit and it did help but I started again after I went off it.  I have been trying to quit for the last year but haven't made it past a few days.  I am 36 and have smoked since I was about 20, 16 years of damage to my lungs.

I decided it's now or never I just want to be a non smoker so badly.  I went and got a prescription for zyban 4 days ago and started immediately. So far I feel ok on it, I definitely feel different, time feels slower and I feel like I'm observing things differently in somewhat removed.  Today is my first day taking two pills and I'm a little worried I will feel messed up on the medication but gonna stick with it.  I'm still smoking but plan on quiting within the next week."


"I am 16 years old and I was put on Sprintec to regulate my periods. The first month of taking it I didn't have any side effects besides that I was hungry and gained about 5 pounds. The second month I started to become very moody. I kept taking the pill and now I am experiencing anxiety and depression. I am very emotional and worried about everything.  I almost lost my boyfriend because of it and I am going to the Doctor about my anxiety and depression. "


"This medication literally saved my life. I noticed a difference after a few days on 10mg. I had diarrhea once. I did have a TON of gas for a few weeks. I also have been eating a high protein diet since starting this medicine. I am not sure if that helps.

Have been on 20mg for about 3 months.  Only side effects I have are mild RLS and I wake up after 4 hours.  I take 1000mg L-tryptophan at night and I sleep just fine now. 30mg would work better for me as far as the depression goes (unfortunately, that is not manufactured), but I can't afford two prescriptions.  20mg also seems to make me manic when I am PMSing, but the depression was so bad that the benefits outweigh the risk, so I am staying here. 40mg would make me a basket case."
