"Had 4 wisdom teeth taken out this morning at 8:30am. My dentist prescribed some codeine for the pain. Having never taken codeine before, and the label reading take 1 or 2 pills for pain, I decided to take 2 around 12:30pm. WOW, these things take all of the pain away alright, however, for about 1 - 2 hours they made me very drowsy, out of it and I couldn't look at anything with a screen without it being blurry or me feeling dizzy. I was literally glued to my seat. Thought I was going to throw up at one point too.  Should probably only be used for chronic, unbearable pain - otherwise it is not worth the side effects. Still feeling a little woozy now at 10:00pm. Will stick to the softer stuff because it seems like I am really sensitive to it."


"Great medicine."


"If I could have one wish I would wish this medication back on market. Zelnorm helped my condition as no other medication had or as of now. Nothing I do will replace the relief of Zelnorm for my personal condition. PLEASE bring Zelnorm back on the market."


"Very very bad experience with this medicine. Within three days experienced severe nausea diarrhea and vomiting. I have been at home recovering for two days now. Going to call the doctor to get off this stuff!!!"


"I've been on BC for about a month and I have horrible acne on my jawline and forehead that doesn't go away for a while. I have bad mood swings and easily irritated and angry since I've started."


"Absolutely terrible. I switched to Brintellix from Lexapro because I was having some unpleasant side effects.  My doctor suggested this medication as it has "no side effects." I've been through several antidepressants, and may I tell you this is by far the worst one. Not only did I have horrific physical side effects such as vomiting after only the second dose of 5mg, but this stuff seemed to screw me up mentally - though that part could have also been due to Lexapro withdrawal. Regardless, Brintellix has made me realize how great Lexapro was. I'll take those side effects any day after this! Would not reccomend Brintellix - be wary of what your doctor tells you and research any medicine before taking it. Back to Lexapro..."


"Like most people on this thread I've gained weight and thought it was from the holidays and vacations. I've been dieting and working out and the scale has only gone up. I had to switch to this brand bc my other one was discontinued. It's NOT THE SAME! The pharmacy told me it is.... it's not. I'm just realizing this now! Calling my Dr. on Monday to get off this horribleness! I really gave this brand a shot. It's been 3 months and my clothes don't fit me. I'm so upset!"


"Horrible! Took for a week and cried almost the whole last 3-4 days before I stopped it. This made my depression worse. I know it said 'sadness' would subside in 4 weeks but mine only got worse and worse over 1 week. I barely got out of bed! Awful experience."


"I have been on Cosentyx for about 3 and a half weeks now and my psoriasis has improved I would say by 80%!!!  All the plaque is now flat against my skin (meaning, if I close my eyes and rub my arm, I cannot feel any areas of plaque).  All that remains is the discoloration from the plaques which are slowly fading as well because I go to the tanning booth to tan.

I have experienced NO side effects at all, in fact the skin on my face is also glowing and radiant.  After suffering from psoriasis for over 10 years my body had become immune to Clobetesol and Humaira really didn't work for me, but Cosentyx has been GOD SENT!

I would recommend and hope that this work for anyone and the best thing for me has been the quick improvement >30 days!"


"I had skyla inserted 4 days ago. I had read reviews online and prepared myself for the worst! I felt one small cramp when my doctor put the speculum in and zero pain after that. I couldn't believe when she said she was done! I admitted to her I anticipated what the Google reviews had said and she laughed and said "well those women didn't have me insert theirs! That's why I took longer prepping!" She has a great sense of humor so don't over analyze her comment! I had such slight cramping for maybe 3 hours, literally nothing compared to period cramps and spotted on and off light brown for one day... Didn't even need a liner. I can't feel the iud, have zero cramping or spotting now and am so happy. Also, I was not on my period during insertion"


"Prozac (fluoxetine) I have been taking 10mg every 3 days for hot flashes for 2 years now.  It has worked very well for me.  I also don't have the mood swings. When I was taking 20mg everyday it was to much, So I talked with my doctor and changed it around.  If you are having problems you may be taking to much.  Talk to your doctor I did and I feel great."


"I have been on Junel for a year and 1 month.  I love everything about it except the weight gain.  I have always struggled with my weight and I have gained about 15-20 pounds in a year.  HOWEVER, it is the only bad side effect.  My periods are super light, much like spotting, and only lasts a few days.  My cramps are about the same, mostly in my back and legs but taper off as my period continues.  This month I actually had NO PERIOD!  My mood swings have actually calmed down a bit and I feel great taking the pills.  I do not see me coming off the pills anytime soon!  I have United HealthCare and it completely covered the birth control, even the co-pay."


"I am blessed to have found this site! I have been addicted to percocets for 7 yrs....2 days ago I ran out of meds ( I was 2 wks short on my refill) that's how many I used a day and if that wasn't enough I bought off the street. Long story short ..theres no room available in my area for detox..ER Turned me away. Even my family doctor ....PM nurse and doc put me on Clonodine and I feel amazing. Only after 2 days!! No withdrawal symptoms maybe slight headache is all. Please. If you feel there is no way out of this narcotic hell there is help. Just ask for it! I am so happy there is a bright future for me NARCOTIC FREE!! Best of luck to all that suffer. It WILL GET BETTER."


"Diagnosed with borderline hypertension - doctor asked what I wanted to do about it, treat or monitor? I said treat and doc prescribed 1.25 Ramipril and I feel much healthier since started treatment. Fewer headaches, decreased stomach acid and improved erections. Unbelievable yes, but a real bonus - has anyone seen similar benefits?"


"This medication has been a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, my asthma symptoms are all but gone after being on this drug for a week. On the other hand, it's made me feel tired all day yet unable to sleep at night. I've also noticed that I've been angry and otherwise unhappy more frequently since starting this drug.

I'm going to give it one more week to see if the side effects become more manageable."


"I had my first round put in in 2010. The first 3 years were good. I hardly ever had a period and when I did it was real light. It was great until I realized I had put on 20lbs in the first 3 years, none of my habits changed I still was active and ate decent. When I went back in to have it renewed I didn't have a period for 3 months then it came for 3 weeks with a vengeance as well as more weight gain and I can't seem to lose it no matter what I do. So needless to say I'll be having this one removed. But it does do it's job I haven't gotten pregnant."


"If you have irritable bowel syndrome then you know how it can seem to pop up at any time. This is a sub-lingual medication. As such, it works very quickly to stop spasms in the colon.  As my physician explains it: it slows down the action of the colon. Antidiarrheals will completely stop the action of the colon. You  don't want to stop the action of the colon. "


"Ativan helps when I start feeling panicky and to rest easier when I find it hard to relax."


"For me, this is truly a wonder drug. Knocks out migraine in about half an hour. Well worth the money, especially when my migraines have lasted for many days in the past. The only side effect is this strange loopiness that comes after about an hour, but it ends an hour or so later. And, compared to the headache, short term loopiness is certainly not a bad thing."


"I lost 18 pounds in 6 weeks.  Exactly the boost I needed.  No side effects when discontinuing.  First couple of nights I had trouble sleeping through the night, but after 3rd or 4th day I had no trouble sleeping."


"So far so good, no side effects other than a bit of nauseousness. I did the quick start method, meaning I didn't start either I the day of my period or on the first Sunday after my period. I have no idea if that makes you get less side effects. Nevertheless, I followed the instructions used backup for 1 week. After that didn't use a condom anymore' so I'm hoping it's effective !!!"


"I've been having issues getting a good night sleep. I would not have a hard time falling asleep but would wake up several times at night, mainly due to anxiety. I've been taking Trazodone for only a few days so it is a bit premature for me to have a real opinion on the drug. So far, it has helped me sleeping and I feel happier too. I take 50mg at night. The significant side effect I've noticed though is water retention. My hands are horribly swollen (to a point where it's painful) and I've gained 7 lbs in a week (which is absolutely not usual for me). I'm a bit torn right now between continuing taking Trazodone and stopping it as the water retention side effect is really bad."


"I'm 18 and I barely started taking Aviane and I noticed the first couple weeks I was always sad crying over everything and I would get dizzy, but I gave it a couple weeks to see if it would go away and I did. I'm fine now, my sex drive has increased and my breasts fill bigger."


"I have been on Wellbutrin SR for about 2 weeks. I feel so much better. The only thing that concerns me is my blood pressure seems a little bit high. I have been shaking a lot but other than that I got a ton of energy!!"


"I have been taking Alli for about 3 weeks now. I didn't have any side effects, but then again I had been eating foods with very little fat in it. I wanted to put Alli to the test so I ate some lasagna, which has a lot of fat content. After I ate that my bowl movements did contain a bunch of oil. So does it work - absolutely."


"I also was born depressed. Until a Wise Psyc put me on Nardil and Pamelor! My life went from Black to White. My world was wonderful finally!
In 1993 Nardil has some issues, so did I. They fixed their problems. Unfortunately in 2000 the company SOLD Nardil to a company in Sweden.
Nardil is no longer the medicine that changed my life. The NEW company reformulated it and I am now back in that ugly Darkness. I'm afraid to try the other MAOI's as I did so well before. "


"I have had anxiety a lot since high school and it has gotten worse in college. I have taken many different medicines for anxiety and this is by far the best fit for me. I didn't like how I had to take the other medicines everyday whether or not I felt anxious- this one was great for me because my doctor told me I could take it whenever I felt a little more anxiety than normal. I will take it in the morning if I wake up anxious and I have never had an anxiety attack or feelings of being anxious yet. I would highly suggest talking to your doctor about this medicine if anxiety is the issue."


"Ambien is great for insomnia after years of not sleeping. Although I have experienced some mild hallucinations and
have gotten up and moved things around in the dark inside my bedroom, while talking to someone I thought was there, but the
sleep is worth the risk. I was miserable for to long."


"I took this pill after 24 hours of the accident. 5 days later I got what they say is a "Plan B Period" even though I got that I was still stressing think of the what if's, the next month my period was late 7 days late in fact but it eventually came. I am so thankful for this pill. What I learned is don't stress if you take the pill directed you will be fine. The only down side was I got extremely tired"


"I have tried a lot of analgesic medications and antidepressants for my migraines in the past but none of them work so I have just been buying mersyndol and taking them to try and get some sleep but still wake up in pain. Today I was prescribed Relpax after my pharmacists recommended I talk to my doctor about them and they are amazing! I usually live most days with some sort of headache (not always a migraine) but after taking this I am completely pain free!"


"I've had the implanon for nearly a year now and I love it so much. If I could be appointed the official ambassador of this thing, I would!

The insertion was quick, simple and painless. I had a small bruise which was easily covered and went away quickly. I have a tiny scar the size of a pen tip now.

During the first 3-4 months, my period was a bit erratic. It would last about 6-7 days and it would sometimes come once a month, sometimes more or less. It was much lighter than my natural periods. I took naproxen which would stop the bleeding most of the time. However after about six months my period has basically stopped. Occasionally I have an hour or so of spotting, and rarely I might have a few days in a row. One liner a day is always enough for the bleeding now. I have no period pain for the first time in my life.

I haven't experienced any weight gain, and my acne is no worse than when I was on the pill.

You can't beat the ease of this thing. In Australia, it cost about $50 (including insertion by a doctor) for three years protection. I often go weeks without thinking about contraception. I don't even have to worry about pregnancy, knowing this is the most effective contraception available.

I nearly didn't get my implanon because of what I read online. But I'm so glad I did. Remember that for each negative review, there are probably many many people who are happy with the implanon but they just forgot to write a review because they are so busy out enjoying life!"


"Did nothing for me."


"It's been three days since I've been on this medicine. First time user also. I never had a bladder infection but it got a lot better than it was the first day with the burning and pain. I am still experiencing a bit of the burning. I am hoping it works and takes it fully away about the time its my last dose. At first this medicine made me nauseous and tired but I drank more water and it seemed to help take that away."


"I've been on this pill for about a year and at first I loved it. I was on depo provera for a while but my periods were all over the place and skin wasn't in very good shape. Once I started levora, my breasts were very tender but they also grew so I wasn't complaining. About 6 months ago I started packing on pounds. I'm 5'2 and have never gone above 110lbs. I am now a solid 125lbs, sometimes more. I have not changed my fairly healthy diet and do lightly excercise. My skin has not cleared up and my sex drive is gone. I literally got nothing good out of this pill other than big boobs (Again, not complaining). I am getting off of this pill asap."


"I started what I thought was my weight loss journey at 404 pounds. That was not my biggest but my biggest since my last weight loss adventure. I started with phetermine, ($15 a month). I live in Ohio, so I could only be on it for 3 months as it is a state law that mandates use. I went down to 343. I was put on belviq for 2 months, $80 a month. I gained 10 pounds and was binge eating like crazy.  I told my doctor about it and we figured out it was BED. So I was put on Vyvanse, $35 a month. I am 2 weeks in and I lost what I assume is some water weight, and I stopped binging, I've also gotten a lot of energy, and I focus real well now. I'm on 30mg. Hopefully when I go back in 2 weeks I'll be back down a few pounds."


"My BC was placed about 2 years ago. Over all effective did not become pregnant but from the start I had horrible side effect with headaches, my hair falling out & no periods (so thought was a good thing). Then went on to having oily hair & skin, gaining weight, & heavy two week periods every two to three weeks. Now I have cysts on my ovaries monitored every six weeks. Next week it'll be removed :D"


"I am taking this medicine for lower back pain due to herniated discs. Taking this drug in combination with Lyrica has reduced the pain in the front of my legs significantly."


"I'm a mid to severe RA patient. I have RA for about 4.5 years. I was quickly diagnosed. Less then 6 months I was prescribed  Simponi. In Canada my doctor got me lined up for Simponi and once I started they will give it to me free of charge. The drug company pays for it. I am very lucky. I have been in remission for since I started it 4 years ago.  Colin"


"Treatment Resistant Recurring Major Depressive Disorder - 300mg Wellbutrin XL and 75mg WellbutrinSR(1x in AM) which had been effective(stable baseline and fully functional) for years but due to life circumstances I began to feel depressed (feelings of hopelessness). After a week of 1/2 mg of adding Rexult the "sense of doom" dissipated and about another week of taking the 1mg I began to feel a sense that "all is well". Side effects: intense feelings of thirst and hunger, body temperature increased. Definitely bareable and can easily be decreased by drinking water and eating healthy. Side effects minimized week 2. I also tended to be cold all the time which brought me to normal temp. I lost 3 lbs in 1st week. Miracle combo."


"Hospitalized January 2012 due to bleeding peptic ulcer which I didn't know I had. GI doc said ulcer was due not to H. pylori but entirely to NSAIDs, the nightly 325 mg aspirin (combination therapy with Plavix for RCA stent, Dec. 2010), to which I added generous doses of Advil (600-800 mg) most days trying to combat muscle pain from simvastatin (current combination of Livalo 2 mg   400 mg CoQ10 = no pain). I am supposed to continue Protonix as long as I am taking aspirin (now only 81 mg).  No visible side effects after a year and a half. I do take magnesium 2-3 times a week due to concern about Protonix knocking mg level down. Also take Caltrate, for the osteoporosis it may cause. Protonix is easy to take, but hard to get off of, I hear."


"I live with PTSD, social anxiety, panic, depression (manic). I've had a rough life in the early years, and married young to a psycho. Then lost my first child. My life hasn't stopped taking as of today- I tend to hide away, in a literal sense. Locking all doors behind me. Recently the FDA marked Xanax a black label- (saying it's a killing drug with pain meds taken together) thanks to rich people and their drinking with meds, and those high profile dealers out there mixing fentenyl into simple drugs, and doctors prescribing 2mg Xanax pills several per day.., people like me get to be sick and be removed from 3 -1m tabs per day that were to help us be part of society- while we search for another medication to help us get there again.. "


"Ordered from online pharmacy as my Dr in the UK would not prescribe it.
Having suffered with Rosacea for nearly 15 years using different treatments I was fed up and after research decided to treat myself based on demodex mite theory.
I wash face with dove sensative soap and lukewarm water and after drying with paper towel apply a thin film to problem areas in may case cheeks and nose.
Only been using 2 weeks and after a couple of initial flare ups in first 10 days (possible reaction to mite die off and associated bacteria) things definitely seem to be getting noticeably better so really pleased just hope it continues.
I also changed my pillows and pillowcases I sleep on to help."


"Just started losartan 50mg I do know it takes time to work especially having blood pressure going as high as 158/113. The only side affect so far for me is dizziness which I had before taking this medication which doctor seems to think it is the blood pressure and vertigo making the dizziness. But do see some change in blood pressure after taking the medicine I can get my pressure down as low as 128/84 but throughout the day I get readings as high as 124/102. I hope this medicine will eventually get my pressure back down to normal range with in a couple of weeks but is being closely monitored by my doctor."


"My 8 yr old daughter has been suffering from so many of the side effects listed. She was switched to this due to a switch in her health insurance. My very happy social child has experienced such anxiety and breakdowns that have come out of no where.  She begs to not leave the house and to just be left alone in her room. Weightloss, diarrhea, painful urination the list continues. It breaks my heart. Her Doctor did not pick up on possibly the medicine being a cause she referred us to a therapist .
I will continue with therapist but, we as parents have to be our childrens advocate and remember that with Drs. there is a reason they call it "practicing medicine "
That is exactly it they are practising.!"


"Have been taking the delzicol for 7 weeks and still not working as does ASACOL. 700 dollars later, who do I complain to...I need Asacol after all. Has only calmed things, still unable to eat most things and see no future for me and delzicol."


"I first started seeing the signs of rosacea on my cheeks almost 3 years ago (I'm 35 now). It started with intermittent redness followed about a year later with the bumps and pustules. It's gotten progressively worse. No luck with metronidazole, or sodium sulfacetamide. Oracea made me feel bloated and awful so I stopped that. I desperately started Soolantra about 2 weeks ago and my face has gotten worse. More redness, more pustules. Is it supposed to get worse before it gets better? I think ivermectin specifically targets demodex mites...but what if my rosacea is due to something completely unrelated? How can we treat if we don't even know the cause? I am desperate for a solution..."


"Had to take Casodex as part of treatment for Prostate Cancer. Seems to have worked with only minor side effects."


"5 wks in no weight lost. Flit back and forth with one lb. Side effects faded three wks in but not terrible. Headache @first. Workouts started this wk."


"This medicine is really a lifesaver. Nothing worked. I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. A stint in a psychiatric hospital left them fighting over whether I was borderline or bipolar. I went through a real bad, horrid suicidal period. I just sobbed to my doctor, and he put me on this. I think I may have felt tired on this medication at first. But the changes were AMAZING! I could stay up all day, laugh and smile like I USED to! I had energy and motivation! This medication changed my life so radically and made the dark cloud go away! I stopped crying all the time. The suicidal thoughts went away. Just beware, I was very skinny and gained 83 pounds."


"Natroba killed the live lice and also the eggs in my child's hair.  Only one treatment was necessary.  I highly recommend this product and willl use it again in the future as it works quickly and is very effective.  The only issue is that the egg casings are left in the hair.  We have an issue with the school sending notes home stating my child has nits, when in fact, there are no viable nits in her hair."


"Took cymbalta for years for my fibromyalgia n depressions n really helped with the fibromyalgia but I started getting more depressed and my doctor put me on low doses n it help with the depression but not the fibro n after a couple of months he would increase the dosage. This kept going on for years until I decided to stop because I started having terrible dark thoughts. It scared me cause I did not want my daughters to find me dead.Took me over 2 years to eventually stop."


"I use it occasionally for migraine prevention and rarely for sedative effects."


"I'm a 59 year-old chronic alcoholic on Natraxone since hospital assisted detox four weeks ago. I am also using antabuse in conjunction with Naltraxone. Both appear to be working. The Antabuse and Naltraxone are daily administered doses by my pharmacy. Due to its negative potential effect the Antabuse is the 'big gun' in the treatment which pulls me up from temptation. I have drunk on Antabuse in the past and found it most unpleasant. Naltraxone is more subtle. The craving reduction effect was, less than apparent and hard to detect initially. I have no strong desire to drink so far and remain abstinent. Sleepiness/relaxation is a welcome outcome as I am a regular night shift worker. No experience of negative effects"


"I took the pill last year & stopped it because I was emotional all the time & felt like I had put on weight from it. I decided to try the nuvaring even tho I knew it had the same hormones. It was 10x worse than the pill. I was an emotional wreck, extremely tired all the time, & always hungry. Not to mention it was scary taking it out the first time. I tend to be nervous about doing something like that but it was just awful. I don't recommend this. & I'm never getting back on it."


"I have been on numerous birth controls, but I got a blood clot about a year ago and I am no longer allowed to be on estrogen for the rest of my life so I started on the progesterone pills and they didn't stop my period so I got this implant and I have been straight bleeding for about three months straight with no break. Not even kidding this birth control is the worst and this isn't just spotting it's heavy bleeding, I'm never happy anymore either I've had it for about five months and I'm getting it taken out to put and IUD in I can't even believe they market this as a valid birth control what woman would want such an irregular period"


"Don’t be discouraged by the negative comments. The taste was t nearly as bad as people say it is. I did the liquid diet as prescribed, dressed warmly, and used plenty of petroleum jelly on my behind. Several comfortable bm’s no discomfort whatsoever. Very effective and actually enjoyable. I’d definitely do it again."


"While I'm confident Flagyl is working I have suffered some severe side effects, one of which is unlisted. I believe it is working because my abdominal pain has significantly decreased since being diagnosed with diverticulitis about 1 week ago.  I am also taking Cipro. The reported side effect of having a metallic taste is very understated! Not only do I have an AWFUL paint/chemical taste constantly in my mouth, but my sense of smell is on overdrive! This has contributed significantly to my loss of appetite, nausea, and in many cases my inability to function. I threw away my sheets because I couldn't sleep; I carry around room deodorizer with me because whenever I walk into a room I gag due to the smells - that are only overwhelming to me."


"I was on Seasonique for a year or two and then a generic was made available and I switched to Camrese. I've  been on Camrese for at least 5-6 years and it is truly awesome for me. But here's my advice to everyone: Spotting. I spotted occasionally on Camrese/Seasonique and yes, it's normal. But what my doctor told me and I have shared with friends experiencing the same is to stop your pill for 4 days. Allow the spotting to happen just as if it was a period, and then resume your pill. Be smart: use backup birth control those days. I found not always taking at the same time, within 2 hours, to be the cause of the spotting. I've taken roughly 5 different pills over the past 10 years and Camrese worked best for me. But everyone is different!!"


"I started using phentermine for the first time 3 days ago. I have zero appetite and trouble sleeping. Also dry mouth. This pill has given me tons of energy. I lost 120lbs over the past 4 years on my own. Since having two surgeries I put on around 25 to 30lbs. I started out Monday 8/14/17 weighing 166. I will see my Dr in a month. I am 5'4 female and I'm 33 years old my ideal weight by the Dr is between 108 and 145. I have been 166 lbs for a while and it doesn't look that great on me. I felt comfortable at 145 so that my goal. So that's about 20lbs that I need to loose."


"Well. What can I say - Viagra has been great. Works for about 6-7 hours with very minimal side effects. Only side effect I experience was a mild headache the next day. Been using it for 6 months now and I haven't noticed any decreases in effectiveness/strength. I am only 29 years old though."


"ankles may swell if no exercise and possible nasal stuffiness and swelling.

Very effective in reducing b.p."


"I can sleep through the night. No more getting up twice to just let it all out and clean up the mess. No more running to the bathroom every two hours because I'm leaking through. I love this."


"Paxil is very effective. I struggled with anxiety for a year and Paxil is the only thing that helped."


"I cannot describe the amount of excruciating pain this medicine causes. Nothing I say will describe the feeling. Do not take this. You will most definitely be in pain. First I was woken up by severe nausea and that last about an hour before raging event came. All night long! Back and forth to the bathroom. I would think there's no way I have anything left in me and bam there I am on the toilet again! To say it works is an understatement."


"1st month with Nexplanon in arm. Very convenient considering not taking a pill everyday or remembering to get prescription for Nuvaring every month (and then remembering to insert on the right date).  With Nexplanon I had some symptoms that were quite worrisome because they were like pregnancy symptoms. Even more so than other methods of birth controls I have used in the past.  The symptoms included strong food cravings, increased appetite, always sleepy, lightheadness when standing up, breast augmentation, and most scariest stomach flutters. The day I had planned to take a pregnancy test is the day my period started. So far period is very light."


"So, on day 7 of my cycle, my partner came completely inside of me, I took the pill within a hour afterwards. I had typical withdrawal bleeding 5 days later that was much shorter than a normal period. Plus my actually period wasn't due for several weeks. It's now been two weeks since I took Econtra Ez from my student health center (generic plan b) and I just can't stop worrying. Do you guys think I'm in the safe zone because I took the pill early and it was earlier in my cycle?"


"My nexplanon was inserted 4 months ago. I hate it! It prevents pregnancy however the rest is horrible. I have gained so much weigh plus my period last a month then a two week break then another month long period. I'm having mine taken out."


"I started smoking when i was 16 and today i am 33.  I have used Chantix two other times and had no side effects at all.  I also have mental issues and my illnesses didnt get worse so i continued the medication finished both times had good results less desires to smoke and the medication was working.  Once i was done with the pills i went back to smoking immediatelly.  This time i had to pay for my Chantix which with discount was 161.00 for the starter pack...luckily my ex left a two week supply of the 1mg tablets that were still good to get me through.  i didnt quit at first after the first week of treatment.  i kept smoking but not as much.  im 19 days in now off chantix, been one week off treatment...it works!!!!"


"Started on 10mg daily in May. Began having headaches daily and my joints in my hands increased in pain, especially in the am. I am in my 4th month now headaches are much better. Hands still hurt but seem a little better. Now my back aches a lot and I feel tired every morning. It's like I stayed up half the night making it a chore to get up and get ready for work. I worry about all the things this drug may be doing to my kidneys, liver and muscles. However, after 3 months my cholesterol and LDL dropped significantly. I would like to maybe decrease to every other day or maybe try diet and exercise again."


"I've been taking this birth control for a little over two years now. It's been great overall, but lately, I've been extremely depressed for absolutely no reason, and my mood swings have been terrible(I go from contemplating killing someone to crying in a matter of seconds) and felt like I lost the need to live until I started thinking, maybe it's my birth control? It's like, I know that's the cause of all of this. I can't wait to get it out of my system for good."


"My new Dr. Recommend I use afin for my sinus congestion, the first time my nose and my throat burned and stinging. Now my throat is sore and  I lost my voice. It made my illness worse. I was better of using saline."


"On my 3rd week with no improvement, increased pain, swelling, and FEVER exponentially increased, (not "core" temp just "hot joints") decreased energy, frequent headache, and increased depression! I didn't know any of these things could get worse than they already were? But they have! :-( Hanging in there because mine is in every single joint and "unrelenting" I don't really have flares cuz mine is constant daily (and nightly) pain, swelling, the fever "


"My experience was good. Although my side effects were a bit intense! I only had to take the pills for 2 days and the first day , I felt kinda funny and very uncomfortable. The second day I threw up a couple times and felt a little queasy and dizzy. But over all the medicine works good and my smell and over discharge went away"


"I have been suffering from migraines for about 2 years now. I've tried a few different prescription pills and I've suffered from horrible side effects from each one. I was to the point where I felt almost hopeless because I couldn't do anything to relieve the pain when I would get migraines. My neurologist prescribed me Migrainal last month and I've had 3 horrible migraines since then. Each time I have used Migrainal within 30 minutes they are gone and I feel great and not defeated by the horrible migraine. I definitely would recommend and consider this a miracle!"


"Prescribed to me for 14 days for a sinus, throat and lung infection that I was battling for 4 weeks without any relief through natural home remedies. Started to unclog the sinus within 72 hours, and began to be able to clear nose and chest through productive cough and sniffing inward to expel the phlegm. Drink plenty of water and eat/drink plenty of probiotic yogurt to avoid the associated diarrhea and stomach issues that can start. Works great. Found it better than Levaquin and without the severe tendon pain/ripping that was caused in my calves when sleeping. "


"Okay, so I got back together with my boyfriend after 6 months apart...one thing led to another which led to us being together with no condom.  I was definitely fertile as it was right in the "window".  He wasn't worried about it, but I was freaking out, but didn't get to use the pill until like 36 hours after having sex several times.

Now, let me first say that the pill DID work after A LOT of stressing.  I had a forced period about a week after taking it, but then nothing for about a month and a half.  Considering side effects, I would have been better off just taking my chances.  I've had everything from pimples to nausea to cramps...to gaining like 5 pounds. Now I'm in the middle of the worst period EVER!   So it worked, but NEVER AGAIN!"


"Useless as a sleep aid.  Zombie like effects the next day."


"My  16 year old dughter was prescribed this medicine and after two doses became exhausted. She could not remember anything she learned in school. Said it was effortful to walk, although she walked normally.  She described herself as feeling like she was in a dream state. I discontinued the drug and within 24 hours she felt normal."


"I had my meniscus repaired last November after a fall the previous year. I had tried physical therapy, ice, heat, celebrex for 9 months.I have arthritis which is extremely painful. I received first cortisone shot which gave me wonderful relief for 6 weeks. Pain worsened so I needed to have knee drained on three separate occasions and more cortisone shots. My knee is still very swollen at least twice the size of my other one. I got Euflexxa shots over 3 week period. They were painful when administered. I experienced nausea and a headache after each shot approximately thirty minutes after injection.I didn't have any relief unfortunately. My surgeon feels it's time for knee replacement.  I am happy for those who report success."


"I was given one injection of this with Benadryl by a nurse whom by the doctor in charge was not granted permission to administer the medications. I was sleeping in the ER after four days was woken up by the nurse and told I was a nuisance to him and he and three other male orderlies in the ER told me they were sick of seeing me there. I told him I might have a seizure if it's a drug that wasn't my current medicine and he said he didn't care. Ten minutes or less I had a seizure and the hospital then released me, I found out they were ill equipped to deal with seizures in the specific ER. What a total waste of time! Haldol was horrible for me. Would never recommend!"


"Started about a month ago. I have had mild acne for years. This product works amazingly. I only apply before I go to sleep. I found twice in a day was to much, and made my face red / sensitive. When that happens I give it a day or two to heal and flake. Let me tell you after it flakes and heals your skin looks great. I continue  to apply before bed. This routine has cleared my acne. One of the only products I have found to actually work. Here's a tip. Make sure to rub into your skin thoroughly."

"I'm a married 45 yr old Australian male of good fitness and health (BMI=25). Although I probably wouldn't say I had erectile dysfunction, I found our sex life non-existent and found after only one very short 'round' I just couldn't get it up again.

After taking Viagra - AMAZING. It was like my body was 18 yrs old again. First erection after ~50minutes from taking the pill and the erections of steel easily lasted about 8-10 hours. My wife does not know I have taken Viagra but was pleasantly shocked by about 6 'full on' rounds in bed in 10 hours! Yes I had mild side effects so I probably couldn't use it everyday. Mild headaches, sinus congestion and tiredness."


"I take 5 or 10 mg depending on the day. I love this med. it shuts my mind off so i can sleep. I've tried cutting out caffeine using allergy meds herbal type sleep aides and Tylenol pm....the crap doesn't work. Ambien is only thing that's worked and I've never done anything dangerous or weird on it"


"I got my Nexplanon inserted on 5/14 (3 days before my prom), and was completely satisfied. The only part that sucked was the numbing, besides that I felt nothing. After the insertion I had no symptoms, just a severely bruised arm that I had to cover up for prom. I guess you can say that I am one of the luckier cases, I have not had my period since the insertion, nor have I had any bad side effects. Only reason why I got it was because I go off to college in the fall and don't want anything unexpected. I highly recommend this form of birth control because once it is in, that is all- no 3 month visits to your expensive gyno, no daily reminders of taking a pill and no painful insertions."


"I have been taking Yaz for 4 years, due to irregular cycle related to ovarian cysts.  I am pleased that my periods are shorter and there is absolutely no cramping.  It has helped alleviate hormonal migraines and my skin has never been more clear.  Prior to birth control, my cycle was completely irregular, such as skipping months altogether, and it was frustrating being so unpredictable.  Now, I know exactly when my period is coming.  The only  negatives: I did gain a little weight and it is expensive since I don't have insurance."


"I have Uveitis from an autoimmune condition called Behcets Syndrome.  I recently had a flare and was given this prescription.  It cost $234.00 at Walmart.  I have flares before and the general good ole Pred Forte does the same thing for TEN TIMES CHEAPER.  I can get Pred Forte for $25.  The bottle is bigger too.  This is another way the drug companies are bringing new products to market, selling the idea and even sometimes a commercial interest in pushing the drug to patients with a kickback.  You and my only recourse?  Writing reviews like this to protect unwary consumers.  Ask for the Pred Forte and save yourself and your insurance company some money.  I hate getting ripped off by people whom I trust."


"Doc has me taking 150 mg morning and 150 mg evening.  I have gained 50 pounds in 6 months.  I am going to get him to take me off this.  I went on a salad diet for a week with balsamic vinegar dressing (1 Tablespoon for a huge salad).  I ate salad for lunch and dinner and drank nothing but water with lemon in it.  I gained 2 pounds.  I told this to my doctor and he said that I must have cheated.  Why would anyone go on just a salad diet if they weren't serious about losing weight?  I do not recommend this drug. I did start using cyclobenzaprine and it really helps with the leg cramps."


"While this medication can be obtained relatively cheaply, please make sure you read about any side effects it can cause.  While I did feel a little better while taking it, I gained a significant amount of weight in a short period of time (40lbs in 2 months).  I have since been taken off of it because the rapid weight gain was concerning to my PCP who relayed it to my Psychiatrist.  Make sure you speak up if you are experiencing any of the side effects.  Weight gain like I experienced is not worth me taking this medication."


"I am not the same person when I'm off this medication, the difference is nearly night and day. I'm so much happier, I have heaps more confidence, and all in all my life just works better when I'm on it. I only came off it as a trial but I went back on after a month; I don't like the way I am without it I'm irritable, and cry easily and obsess about everything! That has eased up so much and I am generally much happier and more able to get on with my life :)"


"I have sjogrens so have a dry mouth. I would give it 10, but I find only one drawback.  I can take only four per day and many days I could use just one more.  But this has really been a godsend for me.  I developed 30 small cavities during the time that I was not taking this (about one year).  And I was slurring my words so much because of the completely dry mouth - my husband actually thought I was having a series of strokes.
With pilocarpine I have my dental problems under control, and I have my voice and comfort back.

My primary doctor did not know about this.  My rheumatologist did not suggest it, my dentist did not know of it...  I got on the internet and looked for a medicine that had the side effect of making my "mouth water" -- almost immediately I found this Rx."


"I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder about 8 months ago and placed on Risperdal after ending up in the hospital due to a nervous breakdown, 6 weeks after my diagnosis. I was prescribed 0.5 mg in the morning and 1.0 mg in the evenings, but I felt like a zombie. It did curb the severe mood swings, and I also gained about 10 pounds in the first month. I didn't like feeling disconnected from the world and not being able to focus or concentrate, so I independently reduced my evening dose to 0.75 mg. I immediately felt better. I'm still struggling with a low sex drive, depression and have a few moments of hypomania (restlessness, agitation, "geeked up"), so now my doctor wants me to go on Depakote 500 mg twice a day instead."


"I was have burning pain to my feet, with sharp shooting pains from my toes.  Lyrica has completly stopped both kinds of pain.  It has also helped with the shart shooting pains in my fingers - arthritis related."


"This is my miracle drug!"


"I highly recommend Yaz for anyone experiencing awful pms/pmdd. I was on a generic pill, Lutera, for around 6 months, and each month my symptoms got worse and worse. The last week that I was on it was one of the worst weeks of my life, mood swings, roller coaster emotions, suicidal thoughts, and I begged my doctor to put in an IUD. She had me try Yaz, and I'm glad she did. For the first month I cramped more than usual and my breasts were tender, but the change in my emotional level is amazing. I can actually function! This drug was life-changing for me."


"I absolutely HATE this medication. Being a vegetarian, I typically eat a lot of probiotics, so thankfully I didn't have the diarrhea side effect, but oh my goodness the nausea was incredibly awful. This is the third time I've had to take this, and without fail this always happens. Thankfully I've never actually thrown up, but I'd be lying if I said I haven't been keeled over the toilet crying, with my boyfriend holding frozen Brussel sprouts to my neck. Delightful."


"I was put on this a few years ago and I was so happy to gain weight.

I am almost 32 yo, I have 9 children, 5'6 and only weight 104 lbs. I am going back on it. I want to look like a woman, not a child. My oldest son was mistaken as my boyfriend.  I was so embarrassed."


"False-positive urine immunoassay screening tests for amphetamines have been reported in patients taking bupropion (the active ingredient contained in Wellbutrin SR).
This happened to me with the birth of our second child.  Our daughter tested positive for amphetamines.  Child Services were called and we had to prove our own innocents!  The nurse reporting the "problem"  told us that they knew that Wellbutrin SR could cause this result but according to the law we were still reported.  "


"I have been getting the shot since 2012, before having children. After a few years I was scared hearing that this shot causes infertility so I stopped in 2015' within 4 month a was pregnant!

I had a good experience with the shot. My weight has been up and down but nothing drastic. The shot definitely protected me from getting pregnant and thats what I wanted %u263A I will continue with it because  not sure about iuds yet"


"Stopped the symptoms (heartburn and reflux) immediately and completely. No side effects. For me, a wonder pill."


"BEST thing in the world for a ear infection. Dries up the water in the ear along with killing the bacteria running amok in there. Have used this for 30 years for my annual weather change induced inner ear infection with no side effects. Works better than a z-pak."


"I just wanted to write a review because I read so many negative reviews prior to my experience, that I figured I'd share mine to outweigh the bad. I got skyla a couple of days ago, and I've never had an IUD. It was a pretty painful experience, but only lasted about five minutes. I had some pretty severe cramping for the next few hours, but was still able to work. the past few days ive had no cramps and only light spotting."


"This medicine saved my teenager from horrible OCD. 200mg at bedtime, dry mouth is the only side effect. Every once in awhile he will have an episode, but I am able to talk him through it. He tried every med, this was the only one that worked."


"I can live again. Zoloft is a miracle medicine."


"I took 15 mg dose for about a year almost nightly. At best it only had a mild effect at helping me fall asleep and did not allow me to sleep longer than my usual four to five hours. Two unfortunate side effects occurred. Occasionally I would get sleep paralysis which is being fully aware mentally while your body is frozen in a sleep State. This lasts for a few minutes. The other unfortunate side effect is intense grogginess for most of the next day. I found that I spent much of the time during that year sitting in a chair during the day because I did not have the mental or physical energy to get up and do anything. Obviously one gets a tolerance for the drug soon and I would say that after about a month there was virtually no benefit"


"Getting the Paragard was the best decision I have ever made for myself. For the first 3 months, I bled much heavier than normal and experienced some severe cramps. However, by the 4th month, my bleeding and cramps significantly reduced. I have a moderate flow, heavier than I had before Paragard, but it is very manageable. I cramp still, maybe once every four months. I do not like taking hormonal birth control. With Paragard, your period does not disappear (something that worried me to no end), and you don't have to worry about missing pills or dealing with weird side effects like becoming emotionally unstable (pills made me suicidal) or gaining weight. Not to mention Paragard is probably the most cost effective birth control available."


"If it is taken as your Doctor says then it is a really effective in treating anxiety."


"The condom broke around 6pm (Wednesday) I was devastated and extremely angry. The next day (Thursday) around 1 I went to CVS pharmacy and bought Plan B One-Step over the counter. I had a headache and tense breast right after taking the pill for a few days. I was paranoid and thought it was pregnancy symptoms. I have a calender and my period was due on the following week (Saturday) to be exact. Days of being extremely paranoid and dealing with little side effects went by. Until my period came when expected! Thank you Jesus! Plan B works! Just wanted to explain my experience with teenagers like me... There is an option! Do not wait too long to take this pill."


"Have been taking Epclusa for just over a week now constantly feel tired, but after 35yrs of living with hep c I reckon it's a small price to pay. I'm also on Suboxone 8 mg a day wondering if this has anything to do with tiredness. Can only hope that it knocks this disease on the head and I can get a few extra years out of this abused body of mine. Glad it's on the PBS scheme here in Australia"


"It started to clear up my acne after a few months of taking it, but the side effects were awful. I felt nauseous instantly afterwards and then was also sometimes sick, I couldn't sit or lie down for at least an hour afterwards and if I did I was guaranteed to be sick. I also had to make sure that I ate beforehand and didn't take the medication on an empty stomach because that would also cause sickness. The nausea was the worst part because I had to sit for half an hour feeling sick before I actually was which made it even worse. I eventually stopped taking it after about a year because my acne had completely cleared up, but then 6 months later it came back...only a temporary fix for me and the effects of it almost make it pointless"


"The first week I had to force my self to eat I didn't have a taste for anything but once I took my first bite I ate it all

Two meal a day big breakfast before pill

The second week it was self control

 slight headaches from missing meals so don't skip meals

I drunk tea so I could use the bathroom

Ate high fiber foods and high protein foods

No sugar no drugs no alcohol no caffeine

don't drink alcohol with this medicine alcohol is a depressant and APEX gives you energy you are going to feel so weird plus alcohol is sugar it's empty Calories

I lose total of ten pounds in two weeks

I'm going on my third week

Stay at 2000 -2500 calories per day

Drink water no snacking eat salad if you get the urge I'm a medical student hopes this helps"


"Natalia W here  again, as I said I would review this pill if my period did not stop... I am on day 15 now of my period. It got lighter at day 9-14, where I never wore a tampon however bled when I peed or worked out... Today I woke up, day 15, cramps, heavier bleeding, and wearing a tampon AGAIN. Made an appointment with my Dr to see if this is normal.... I did just start this BC so I hope my body is just regulating... Still no weight gain, no crazy mood swings, no acne.... Just non stop period. Will update with new info if necessary... Still  not a bad pill because no weight gain, acne , and my  sex drive is still pretty much the same, maybe a tiny bit lowered, but probably because I am constantly on my period."


"I have been on birth since I was 14 or 15 to contol my period . I have  been on the pill, the ring, and the shot. The shot was the devil and while on the shot I went to my gyn and told her I wouldn't stop bleeding and I wanted to stop the shot and I told her I wanted to try the patch . I was going to wait for the shot to wear off because I have 5 more weeks but I couldn't take the bleeding  so I put on the patch on a Sunday  a couple hours later the bleeding stopped !! I love love the patch it is easy to remember the only problem I have had the last 2 patch is it left my skin irritated  but its my fault because I shaved the area before I put on the patch"


"I still have mine it's been 2 years and a month. Some mood swings but not bad always hungry gained like 40 pounds but I have no period no cramps. I have not broke out at all and I never have before ether. My hair grew really fast !! I think it's amazing it's just the weight gain and always tired cuz I feel so fat now and less active. But that's why I have a gym. I feel fine"


"Worked great.  Dont know how everyone else almost died.  Yall must have done something wrong."


"Day 2, definitely noticing reduced cravings but super nauseous and weird pain in left side of neck plus super tired even though I've been drinking a lot of coffee. I've been reading the reviews online and I'm not willing to continue taking with the serious side effects I'm reading about."


"I have been taking Prozac 20 mg for about a month.  I went through a divorce last year, which was stressful, and still is.  I was staying stressed out, cried a lot, had a negative attitude, and wasn't sleeping.  I went to my doctor and she prescribed Prozac to take every morning and Ambien, which is only has needed.  It took about 7-10 days, but I can tell a difference.  I don't feel all stressed out anymore, I handle problems and situations better.  I haven't cried at all since taking it, not sure how I feel about that.  I just kinda feel like I'm on an even-keel, so to speak.  Haven't had any real side effects from the Prozac.  I like taking it, and will probably stay on it for a while."


"I had skyla inserted October 2014, it is now February 2016. I am 29 years old and have been on birth control since I was 21.  I have tried several different varieties of the pill as well as Nuevo ring. In search of the perfect birth control I think skyla comes close, but not perfect. There a couple cons to this birth control, but in my opinion the pros definitely out weigh the cons.
Pro: free- completely covered by my insurance.
Pro: almost worry free. I was told to check the strings every month to make sure the IUD is still in place. So far so good.
con: When I switched to skyla my menstrual cramps returned after almost 9 years. They are not as bad as I remember and after a heating pad and Advil I am fine.
con: irregular period"


"Before Phisohex could only be purchased by prescription, I used it regullarly for feminine hygenine. The product worked perfect, was long lasting, and I never had any side affects. I used Phisohex from 1966 until, much to my dismay, it was taken off my druggist over the counter  shelves and could only be purchased with a prescription. Would still be using it if I could. Wonderful solution!"


"I received my copper IUD as the most recommended form of birth control after an abortion (I was in a highly abusive relationship and 17 years old).. Anyways, after insertion (painless) I did throw up because of all the pain killers. After insertion was like a normal period. Bleeding and cramps. They said sex was safe after 3 weeks. So me, silly and young, had sex 3 weeks later. But had no complications. I'm still with the 3 week later partner, a year later, and we've ditched condoms and have an active sex life and I can say it's 100% effective. I've had two experiences where it's hurt ALOT after sex but went away after a few hours. But it was nothing compared to the pain of making the wrong choice about a baby. Would recommend."


"I have been on Doxycycline for 7 and a half weeks.  It says it takes 6-8 weeks to work and that is absolutely true.  I still have acne right now but its definitely clearing up in this week.  I made the mistake of touching my face a lot and picking at my acne which will not help it clear up.  I am taking one tablet of doxycycline 100mg a day with Clearasil foam wash twice a day with Aczone in the morning and Epiduo at night.  Just be patient and it will work in 6-8 weeks."


"i have been depressed most my life, it runs rampant in my family, i really dont have much to be depressed about, i have a good life, i have some bumps,  been taking "SERTRALINE 200MG/DAILY", FOREVER, I WAS STUCK, THERE WERE days i would stare out my window for 8 hours doing nothing, zero energy, zero interest in anything, had to force myself to do things, thought some of this was due to being menopausal, but the doc gave me abilify, started with2mg, about 2 weeks later i felt something but not enough, went to 4mg a day with my depression pills, im telling u in one week,, someone turn the lite on, amazing, energy, interests everything, but the cost is unabtainable, no insurance been getting free samples, 1400$/month. help, i cant go off thes"


"I was on Synthroid or levothyroxine for over 20 years. Never ever worked. I lost my business because I was so exhausted and brain fogged. I finally switched to Nature-Throid. What a wonderful difference. Back in business and feeling great."


"I just started on June 23rd. I was 224lb and I'm 210lb now. But I'm a bit worried. I'm only on 15mg and I see much higher doses in these reviews. Maybe I will need a higher dose as time goes by. So far I'm happy."


"My 17 year old asthmatic son previously was on advair hfa inhaler and using his albuterol inhaler 3x week.  He had a blood test come back indicating he was uncontrolled. He just took his second dose of 2 puffs of the sample Dulera the immunologist gave him and walked out the door mentioning a bad taste in his mouth. Half way down the street from our home (while he was driving) he suddenly could not breathe!!! Thank God he is ok but, is badly shaken. Writing this review to advise everyone be at home with a family member/friend when you begin taking Dulera...we could have had a real tragedy a d I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Needless to say we will be discontinuing and calling doctor first thing Monday morning."


"I've just started on paxil. Doctor said take in morning but I've been horribly groggy and depressed. So I switched to taking it at night and there's an amazing difference! I'm energetic and I feel good this far. I can organize My thoughts and anxiety seems to be down abit but like I said just the begenning.

Weight loss- paxil curbs my appetite!! It's great because I need to lose a lot of weight. I've lost about 6 pounds so far but I am also dieting, exercising, and actively trying to lose weight the appetite suppressant affect just help me a lot!"


"I have been on phend for 5 weeks and my Dr put me on b12 shot every week also and I have lost 16 lb so far am so happy with it no side effect at all except dry mouth. I feel thirsty all the time and this is a good thing :') my energy level is so good I use to wight 162 and now am 146.  I was reading about the med and start to get worried about withdrawal after taking it I still have 15 lbs to lose so if any one can ensure me or tell me what was his/her experience please. Thank u"


"I am so proud to say that I have lost 67 lbs. so far with Contrave.  I am 6' and had a starting weight of 327, was pre-diabetic, have fibromyalgia, and bp was creeping up the scale.   Contrave and my own personal decision to change my life are the key to success with  Contrave. This medicine has given me energy and focus...the kind of focus that stops my constant thoughts of food.  Just having finished thanksgiving I can honestly say that I am thinking about other things besides eating to satisfy the urge, now I eat for fuel and energy and concentrate on things that are good for me.  Finally there is more to life than food.  I even starting working out at a gym on Thanksgiving...LOL!!  Best advise my doctor has ever given me!!!"


"Taking Accutane/Isotretinoin was the Best Decision I made! I had Moderate acne and very oily skin and now my Face, back, and chest are Clear! My only side effects were dry lips my hair started to thin my last month of treatment. I took it for 5 & 1/2 months, did not see a Dr and bought it off the internet. The Depo shot was my Birth control while taking it. I figured out my own dosage by how much I weighted and I started with 20 mg a day just to get used to it. Then went to 40 mg a day after a month. Then I finished my last 3 months with 60 mg a day, which was the correct dosage for my weight. 130 pounds. I avoided taking Vitamin A and drank plenty of water to help hydrate my skin. The best money I spent as well, compared to the years I spent trying everything else. I was tired of my acne killing my self-esteem, always covering up my chest and back, ashamed to take pictures. I know that depression is a potential symptom, but Taking Isotretinoin brought me nothing but happiness! I started seeing results in the first month. My pores shrank and my oily face and hair dramatically changed too. I have been off the medicine for a month and a half now still No acne at all, like not even one! My hair is back to normal now too, not as oily as it used to be. Overall I would strongly recommend it! But of course do a lot of research to see if it's right for you. But it is possible to take without a Dr. or dermatologist and without taking all the pregnancy & blood tests. Anyway hope this was helpful. Best of luck getting acne free! :D"


"Since I've been on Concerta I've lost 9 1/2 pounds within the three months. So far I've had to go to the hospital because it has caused me to have bad anxiety. Also I can't eat, I can't sleep. Although it makes me sick everyday and I have depression, my grades have gone up. So I guess it helps with something."


"This medication cleared my urinary tract infection symptoms within 24 hours, but left me feeling super sleepy and dizzy! I guess it's a small price to pay for relief. I'm glad I have a few days off work though because I would not be able to work like this."


"I was put on baclofen for muscle spasms caused from spinal stenosis.  It works quite well for me.  If I miss a dose, I can feel the difference. My doctor increased my dose to the maximum when I had more episode of my leg spasming."


"OK if you can tolerate the side effects"


"I also found that the generic did not work as well as Azor. With Azor my bp is usually 120/78 and with the new generic it's 140/100. I will continue to use Azor and hope that the cost of $360 per month comes down."


"I have used Systane for about 9 weeks and have been experiencing severe swelling and irritation of my eyelids, including splitting of the skin and drying out of the sore areas.  Have narrowed down the cause as Systane, and not blepharitis."


"I started taking this about 7 months ago. I have never taken any prescibed medicine prior to this. I am 62. Was having problems focusing at work. Taking 30 mgs and don't want to increase. Sometimes will take a break on weekends like this weekend. Really helps with focus, memory and energy level. I don't notice any side effects. Hasn't effected sleep. I take at about 6:30 AM and it wears off by afternoon. It is pretty expensive because insurance doesn't cover and have to visit Dr. every month. If you are older and in good health and have ADD symptoms I suggest you look into this. Your body adjusts to it over the first couple months. The first time you take it you feel euphoric but that is not what you want. Keep taking small dose."


"This is the only medication that seems to stop my the repetitive thoughts. It also improves improve mood and anxiety . Need to exercise alot though to fight the dreaded weight gain."


"My son had severe acne. We tried every prescription and non-prescription topical cream and also the oral medications, minocycline and doxycycline. Nothing worked and he was struggling for 2 years with self esteem crushing acne all over his face. I was hesitant to have him try Accutane because of all the side effects but I'm so glad we decided to have him try it. He started at 40 mg the first month and then switched to 80 mg for 5 months. His face is completely clear. I call this a miracle drug.   It's not for everyone and please realize there are some serious side effects for some people. My son mainly just had chapped lips and some peeling skin but nothing that wasn't manageable with moisturizer and chap stick"


"I have been using Diamox off and on since 2009 for pseudotumor cerbri. With the correct dosage I was able to reasonably maintain my headaches. The most common side effects I have are tingling in hands, face, and feet and dry mouth. These are tolerable side effects compared to pain off of the medication."


"My 12 year old son has been having migraines for 2 years now.    At first it was only once every few months. However, it progressed to once or twice a week - with vision aura and speech disturbance.  I took him to a Pediatric Neurologist and he said it was likely from puberty.   He prescribed 500 mg of Depakote ER.   It seemed to start working right away.  It has been almost 2 months now and he has only had one migraine now in almost 2 months. Far better than before.
He hasn't had any of the noticeable side effects - hair loss, weight gain. He takes it before bedtime. It is hard to get him up in the morning but don't know if that is from the medicine or from going to bed too late!"


"Thank God for this drug.  It has helped me immensely"


"I was prescribed this for a sore throat and mild cough after I found out I had Mono, and Walking Pneumonia. It didn't do a THING! I couldn't feel it at all, and it made my throat itch as it went down. Plus it's so icky tasting."


"I have been taking quetiapine for 4 years now for Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder and I have found them very effective in my treatment. I have however also been taking lamotrigine, fluoxetine for my bulimia also and promethazine. I do struggle with sleep, etc. but the problems aren't as severe."


"Prescribed 100mg every six to eight hours for lower back muscular pain.  Relieves symptoms and along with PT has provided relief.  I only take it when the pain flares up.  There was an initial instance or two of psychedelic like effects the first two or three times I took Nucynta and went to bed.  Seem to sleep okay after taking Nucynta now.  Provides much better relief than Oxycodone did.  Have experienced some tiredness while taking."


"I was on Nexplanon for 3 months. For the first week I felt alright, but I started to feel like a slow fog was building around me. I bleed for the entire 3 months while I had Nexplanon. It was a constant bleeding, with minor cramps. But that was not the worst part of it, the worst part was the severe severe depression that happened. I felt like I was in a constant state of a bad dream and couldnt see my way out of it. I was bleeding non-stop and felt horrible the whole time, so no sex drive at all. I would HIGHLY suggest any women thinking of trying this to reconsider."


"Knocked out a very stubborn sinus infection and once a day was added benefit."


"I had a good experience with my first pack of pills - no spotting.  I lost weight and my breasts grew a full cup size - friends keep asking if I had an enhancement done!  I did have a lot of breast tenderness that continues and heavy cramping around my period.  I'm now exactly half way through my second 90 day pack and have had a light menstrual flow for the past 7 days.  I take my pill at exactly the same time every day and never miss so I'm disappointed this is happening.  I hope it doesn't continue.  Overall, I'm happy and the pill works as I'm not pregnant which is the most important thing!"


"I have been over weight for over twenty years. I have high blood pressure and tried many times to lose weight on my own with little or no success. I have been talking Qsymia now since January 23rd and I have lost 40 pounds. I feel great my blood pressure is down and I have not experienced any side effects. Very happy %u2665"


"I get migraines and its hard to get a medication that actually helps it. This helps sinus headaches as well."


"Absolutely love this product! I have had re-occuring infections for years, some stints  longer than others. Recently I have had UTI's almost constantly. Clears up and comes back. Started taking Hiprex with a Urinary Tract Support vitamins and it kept the infection away for ages! Finished a lot of Hiprex and didn't restock. Low and behold, infection is back! Grabbed another bottle and after just a few hours I am feeling a difference!"


"Been on a plateau for 2 years and out of desperation I took Contrave for 2 months.  I gained 6 pounds, not the results I expected.  It did not curb my appetite.  The only weight I lost was in my wallet because my insurance did not cover the cost.  Big mistake!  There is no "magic pill".  I would rate this as a big "fat" zero (no pun intended), but it won't let me rate lower than a 2."


"I needed to be on Armour Thyroid because Synthetic Thyroid didn't work on me. I could not convert T3 to T4.

  Now the company has re Formulated "Armour" and it doesn't work.

"NP Thyroid" works Very well."


"I had botox injections into bladder about 3 weeks ago but it has made no difference to my OAB so far. The procedure itself is quite uncomfortable and I actually felt my symptoms were worse the week after I had it done.

I know it takes two weeks to take effect so was really hoping to see a difference as the constant need to go to the toilet is so stressful. But unfortunately 3 weeks in and I don't see much if any difference. I do seem to be able to go longer through the night but daytime is no better.

I've had no other side effects so don't regret trying, just wish it would work!"


"I've been on the nuvaring for about 4 months now and I absolutely hate it. The only reason I have continued to use it is because I don't have a period while taking it. This BC gives me the most extreme mood swings I have ever experienced. I can be happy one minute then be mad/depressed the next. This has caused me to have relationships to fail in my life. I absolutely hate it and I would never recommend this to anyone!"


"So I have been taking contrave for over a month and have lost ~16 lbs so far. I used to suffer from control issues. I could never have one slice of pizza it was always 4+ Not just 1 taco, but a taco dinner.. I would try to abstain from eating junk food or high fatty foods only to be dreaming about them at night waking up and thinking I actually ate these things in the morning, when I woke up it would only make my cravings exponentially worse. After taking contrave within the first week that need to keep overeating went away! I still have about 60 more pounds to go and I can't see myself doing it without contrave. I am even a part of the Scale Down weight loss program And I highly recommend it! Only if you can  mentally handle weighing daily"


"I am 29 years old been smoking for 13-14 years I have two daughters and I knew it was time to quit they shouldn't have to wait on me to play till after I have a cigarette. I did a lot of research which is very scary but I firmly believe everyone reacts different to medication! This medicine is a miracle for me! I quickly cut back to just a couple cigarettes a day in the first week. By day 6 I was done smoking! Havent smoked since. Only side effects I had were constipation but I just went down to only taking 1 pill per day and that corrected its self!"


"Been on 250/50 Advair for just over a year. It does great at preventing asthma attacks. I still have congestion & coughing. Despite rinsing my mouth & brushing my teeth after use of Advair, my voice has become quite hoarse within the last 2 weeks. I'm thinking of switching back to Symbicort. I took Asmanex before taking Symbicort but it wasn't sufficient to control my asthma."


"I have taken Antivert for years.  For some reason I cannot get it either from Medco or local pharmacy.  It is an effective medication. Now I do not know what to do."


"Omg...I was so excited after I tried this the first day! I had forgotten what I looked like without red cheeks. But then after the second day I had a few bumps on my cheeks and the redness did not disappear like it did the day before. Tried it again and now my cheeks are VERY red & hot.
This must not work on fair skin. I'm disappointed in this product. I look worse now than I did before I tried it."


"Me and my mother were put on this medication at the same time and while she loved it and had almost no side effects, it caused everything from a constant upset stomach and nausea to insanely scary nightmares for me. It didn't help my depression or anxiety at all."


"Man, my vision started getting blurry AND my voice got hoarse while using this.  I teach, and need clear vision and a clear voice so I quit this stuff.  I hated it."


"Beware!  This works, but if you ever are without it- you'll not sleep.  Withdrawals are a little rough if you are trying to come off use another otc sleep aid while off.  My insurance quit coverage and I had to get thru without it .  Not easy."


"I have had to be patient for a while with this pill. I was prescribed at 14 for this medicine and sometimes I would still get anxiety attacks at around 15 it started to help including my weekly therapy appointments. Gabapentin used to sometimes make me jittery if I didn't eat before I took them. I also don't like going a day without them. They have helped now after 2 years of taking them and I'm used to them but the beginning side effects really kicked in for me. I don't think I will be able to stop taking them either. I don't know but for now I will continue going to therapy and taking them."


"I love Wellbutrin.  I'm currently on 300mg once a day.  I am dealing with postpartum depression still even though my baby is 9 months.  I tried Zoloft which made me sleep all the time. Now I have been on Wellbutrin for 1 month and its changed my life.  I look forward to starting the day now and have an increase in sexual desire.  No side effects so far."


"I started Fetzima at the request of my doctor as my mood was very dull and I was using Alcohol to help with anxiety. After 8 weeks at 40 mg I could not handle the excessive sweating that was so bad I was showering sometimes 4 times a day and washing my sheets almost daily. The worst part was the excessive pain after intercourse that would almost bring tears to my eyes from the pain. I have since been moved to another SSRI. "


"I have generalized anxiety disorder and Panic Disorder going on ten years now. I've been on Zoloft the entire time. I had a bad relapse of symptoms this year while on Zoloft. I bumped it up to 200 mg and began taking Gabapentin 300mg/day. I've been doing better, but I'm still working on getting my confidence up after this recent relapse.  Last week I started having anxiety symptoms for a couple of days, so I bumped the Gabapentin to 600mg/day. My anxiety is now better so far. I've noticed a side effect on this dose that I didn't get on the 300 mg... I've had spells of depression the past few days. I think those will pass as my body becomes used to the new dose. Depression is listed as a possible side effect. I just hope this medicine doesn't poop out on me."


"I was prescribed Apri for my PCOS (polycystic overian syndrom) and have been taking it for 2 months now. Before taking it my periods were completely irregular. Never knew if they were going to be later or early if they were going to last 3 days, 7 days, 2 weeks, or a month. My cramps were horrible and could barely get out of bed. I am happy to say that Apri has helped with that. My cramps ( on a scale from 1-10 before Apri was about a 8-9) are not a 4 on the pain scale. I gave the Apri a 9 because for some reason ever since I started on Apri have been having a brown discharge during my menstrual cycles. If they continue I will contact my doctor to find out what is going on with that."


"I have not even been on this medication for a month and have gone from 2 1/2 packs a day to 3 - 4 cigarettes a day."


"My allergies are terrible, it doesn't matter the season. I have tried Claritin, Zyrtec, you name it I've tried it for my allergies. I finally came sleep at night and wake up without an itchy throat. No more constant sneezing, coughing. I can finally go outside and enjoy the spring time. I have read other reviews of people being tired the next day and I haven't experienced that."


"I use lidoderm patch for upper back pain spasums. The patch works well for this type of pain. I also found that the patch works wonderful for sex. Very seldom can I stick around long (about 30 min) enough for my wife to climax. However, using the patch about 1 hour before sex dulls the sensitivity, which allows me time for her to reach the big "0".  Happy wife happy life!"


"Completely stopped all panic and anxiety that antidepressants never helped nor any kind of benzo. After two months I was able to wean off of my antidepressants and happily zero anxiety or panic. I started in July after a bad try for a month of Concerta. Been on it since now month 7. Tried a few dosages but 80 is what works best for me. Since stopping the antidepressant end of August, I have lost 25 pounds!!! It helps control binge eating that I did out of frustration of my disorder.... I now make clearer healthier food choices and drink a ton of water. You must be careful with the caffeine intake and may possibly need something to help you settle in to sleep at night. I should but choose to only take one med currently."


"I've been on Zanaflex for over a month now and all I can say is it really makes me sleep well. I take pain medicines for chronic low back pain and also take sleep medicines to make me sleep because the pain gets worse at night keeping me up. I wasn't happy when they gave me this instead of Soma, because I had great results with Soma. Now I can say I'm glad I did go on this medicine. I take 2 about 45 minutes before I want to turn in for the night.  My spasms are relieved and I can sleep through most of the night and wake without any hangover effects. I'm glad I have this now."


"I have been taking this for not only general anxiety but also for social anxiety, panic, and depression. My head must have needed this because I noticed a euphoric feeling after taking my first 10mg dose; within 15 minutes. Of course it won't get rid of the problems that plague you. But on a strictly how your head feels basis, for me this is a great medicine. I can relate to horror stories as I experienced those with Zoloft. Paxil makes me a little more comfortable in social settings and improves the quality of life in general. I'm a guy and it does diminish libido but I have managed to accept that."


"Holy doodles, this is by far the most insane med I have ever been on. My anxiety has been getting hard to handle so my dr prescribed me This to see if it would help. I started it Monday morning and by today (thursday) I was so manic I thought I was losing my mind. It increased my anxiety tenfold, caused horrible insomnia, shakes...i basically thought Id flown the coup!!!  Be aware of changes after you start taking this!!!"


"I started Lutera in January. I felt very nauseous almost all the time in the first month. My breasts grew significantly. My acne has cleared up. I did notice that I am very emotional and moody ever since I started Lutera especially the day before my period. I'm pretty consistent with when I take the pill. I usually take it around 10-11am but for the days I almost forget and take it at night, I feel really sick the next day."


"I have stopped smoking as of 8/11/2011 while taking Chantix.  Before that date, I smoked a pack a day for 37 years.  Honestly, I enjoyed smoking and would not have quit until I was diagnosed with the beginning stage of emphysema (COPD).  At first, everything was going fine while taking Chantix.  It helped to ease my cravings, although I still wanted to smoke at times. When the cravings would creep up, I would just take my pill and the craving would greatly decrease.  During the two months of taking this medicine, I noticed that while it eased my cravings, I began to experience bouts of depression. I mean severe depression.  "


"It works great! after only 3 days I am beginning to feel the effects.  Unlike what is said for side effects, my sex drive is way back up where it should be (17 year old guy here), probably because the decrease in anxiety.  I feel a little loopy from it, and maybe a little more anxious feeling while I'm adjusting, but the constant OCD worry and panic from anxiety is gone, and I feel like I can function way better and I feel kinda normal in public places like stores again. 9/10 only because of one nasty side effect:  INSOMNIA I love staying up but once in a while I need my deep sleep."


"This is the only thing that seemed to help my horrible periods, as it got rid of them completely, but it made my depression so much worse that it's just not worth it for me. I'm sad though, because other than that this worked so well for me. If you don't have problems with depression its worth a try."


"Before using this birth control my period was an absolute nightmare. Cramps so bad I wouldn't be able to go to work, severe bloating and back pain, and a nasty full 7 days of bleeding. The first month of using this birth control and there was a huge difference! All my period symptoms went away and I have a light period that usually starts the Tuesday or Wednesday after the white pills and ends by Friday or Saturday. Sounds cheesy but this pill seriously changed my life during my period."


"I got my Nexplanon implanted Dec. 28, 2016 and I got my Nexplanon taken out February 22, 2017. Within a day of getting it implanted I started having really bad side effects such as: depression, extreme anxiety, depth perception issues, nausea, food cravings and also felt nauseous towards foods I enjoyed, none stop bleeding, fever, migraines but the worst side effect of all were hives (looks identical to a rash). I got hives in the crease of my left arm which was the same arm the implant was implanted. I also got hives on my right arm and all over both of my legs. My doctors kept saying to give it time maybe my symptoms will get better but my hives just got worse to the point my skin started to get flaky where the irritation was. DO NOT GET!"


"My dr prescribed this as my pain from arthritis was constantly waking me up every night from day 1 it has enabled me to get a full nights sleep I will keep taking it as nothing else has worked it does not in any way interfere with daily work, a god send"


"Last year(2015) I was doing the 21 day fix and had gotten down to 155. I'm 5'4" so 135-140ish is my goal weight. I'm a full time student right now and with a child it's hard to cook super healthy meals all the time. Between spring and fall semester I had gained 25lbs. I was put on birth control for my PCOS in May. Since then I've gained another 18lbs. I just started taking this medicine and its amazing!! The energy I have helps me get thru my workout and the rest of my day. I'm an emotional/boredom eater and it's usually sweets so the fact that it curbs my cravings is awesome. I'm excited to see how I will look at the end of 6mo and hopefully I get get myself back on track with eating healthy"


"I try to tell as many friends as possible about the wonders of Nuva ring! It changed my life. I've been on it for almost 6 years now and the only side effect I've ever had was bigger boobs! (When I go off it they shrink a bit) No pregnancies, I don't have to take it out during sex, and best of all, I don't have to remeber to take a pill! I rarely even get my period because I just leave it in for 4 wks and then put a new one in immediately (My doctor says this is perfectly fine- unless you're trying to concieve soon after you go off bc your cycle will take some time to go back to normal) Please do yourself a favor and try it!"


"I have generalized anxiety disorder and suffer from emetophobia. The anxiety causes stomach upset and the fear of throwing up increases the anxiety in a vicious cycle. My psychiatrist prescribed Zofran while I was trying out SSRI's to help me get through the first few weeks of side effects. I am now on Celexa with a lot less anxiety and only take Zofran as needed! It works great it just makes me feel sleepy. Haven't run into any constipation yet."


"I have had insomnia for almost 30 years, since puberty.  Having a child made it worse.  Diagnosed with Hypomania, which explained why I woke up and started having racing thoughts once the sun went down.  Tried every sleeping pill there, in combination at times.  This is the only thing that worked.  I am doing 50mg with 4mg clonazepam 2 hours before bed.  I take it on an empty stomach as I have learned within an hour of taking it you will get HUNGRY.  So I simply eat my dinner late.  Have not gained weight yet."


"I have horrible periods. Horrible meaning changing a super plus tampon every one to two hours with clots 7-10 days long. This includes during the night as well. Messing up clothes and sheets on my bed. My doctor recommended Lysteda before an endometrial ablation. Two pills three times a day for five days. Started on my third day. My first week, what a joke. Reduced my period maybe 30-40? If that. Gave me headaches and caused dizziness. Thanks for nothing. Ill be having a biopsy to have an ablation instead."


"i was drinking heavily for a few months and had to go to detox 6 weeks ago.  i thought i'd be okay to drink about five days ago--started one day with four drinks, escalated to 12 drinks yesterday.  i'm taking neurontin (600 mg 4x/day) right now because i'm scared of withdrawal.  i expected i would be having symptoms today and would have to do an at-home 3-4 day taper.  instead i have had two drinks today, that plus the neurontin and .5 mg of klonopin with barely noticeable symptoms.  i hope to have less than five drinks today, maximum of two tomorrow and then stop for good after.  highly recommend this!"


"So i had unprotected sex on May 24 and the condom broke so i was freaked out because the next day was memorial day and the pharmacy was closed so i had to wait. I was fertile. And so i waited another day to take the pill i took it probably 34 ish hours after the accident and i got sick to my stomach (which is a side effect) and really tired. Its been about two weeks since i took it and i was suppise to recieve my period yesterday (June 8) but never came and so i just didnt think anything of it and i got terrible cramps and back pain. Agai. I just thought it was a sign or my period but i told my mom and she got me a test i took two both positive so the pill didn' t wrk for me but i think i took it to late because i was fertile."


"My experience with the depo shot was great! I love it! I've been on it for 2 years now and I am currently still receiving the shot. Honestly, I've experienced no type of bad side effects from the depo shot. I didn't gain any weight, didn't become depressed, or have mood swings, it didn't lower my sex drive, or cause me any discomfort with my periods, etc. I literally haven't, and still don't experience anything bad with the depo shot til this day! I love the depo shot because it's something you don't have to worry about taking everyday. It's quick, easy and comfortable. And works amazing at preventing pregnancy! I 100% definitely recommend anyone to give the depo shot a try!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I just took the first dose of this kit about 5 hours ago. I'm happy I read many reviews because some of the tips I feel definitely helped a lot. I read to start a liquid diet at least 3 days beforehand. I had been on clear liquids the week before, but started having a hard boiled egg in the morning, some egg salad or soup at night. So while I haven't done a liquid diet exactly, it's been soft foods and very little of it. I also read to slice a lemon and bite down on it after drinking the Suprep. The taste of the Suprep is awful because it tastes like salty cherry drink. For me, I gagged but it was more just the weirdness of it but I can't stress enough the lemon helped."


"I have been on this for a week.  Day 1. Blurred vision and feeling like I'm in the matrix zoned out after 2 hours and severe nausea. I wanted to quit. But it calmed me and I felt unbothered by things what would normally make me cry. I take it at night and wake up with SEVERE anxiety as I had before taking it but I can feel my body trying to compress it. I pray and hope it gives me the happy energetic feeling I need. Right now it's keeping me calm but I still can't get out of the bed"


"I've been taking this medication for over 6 months and it has been a good fit for me. At first I had a little trouble sleeping but other than this it has been easy. I am taking the SR type so I have to take it 2x per day which can be a pain. I have not had a depressive episode since starting on Wellbutrin."


"I took Loestrin 24 FE for five years and loved it! I had no weight gain, hardly any acne or mood swings, and absolutely no cramping. I started taking birth control because I was missing school due to cramps, so this was a significant benefit for me. The two problems are that I frequently missed periods, and that it was extremely expensive due to the absence of a generic. "


"I had severe anxiety, agoraphobia. I am on Xanax for about 3-4 month started with 0.25mg morning and 0.25mg at night and now on 0.50mg two times a day and feel great. No panic and my life is much easy. The world is more familiar and I can go anywhere. It's like I have wings now. I will try to leave the medication in future but for now I accept my situation because I like the feeling of living.

As an anxious I was afraid of death same as I was afraid of life. Now, I LIVE."


"I've been on this patch for about 2 years now and I really love it. When I fist started BC I was on pill form. I had pretty bad side effects from the pill; headaches, bad cramps on my period, my period was never consistent and I was always spotting between periods. I was also horrible at remembering to take it.

I switched to the patch after enduring about 5 months of the pill. The change for me was incredible. With the patch I have had no side effects. My periods have been 100% consistent and never had spotting between. It's so easy to remember changing once a week. The only negative thing for me was the first 4-5 months of use I had some irritated skin around the patch area. That has since resolved. I personally love this patch!"


"It is wonderful. I only wish I knew about it sooner."


"I have been on zyban just over 2 months. During the first month I smoked between 1 and 5 a day (I used to smoke 15 cigarettes a day). Now I don't smoke any. The most significant side effect that has caused me stress is HAIR LOSS. I am a woman and it is giving me a receding hair line and thinning at the hair line, plus I'm losing hair all over my head. To the point where I may need to stop taking this drug. I like the mood lift zyban gives me. It also gives me more energy and more focus to get things done.  I've had an increase in sweating, some loss of appetite, I've lost a little weight (I don't consider this a bad thing). I'm worried when the 3 months are up that a withdrawl may send me into a depression."


"1to 3 packs a day for past 5 years. On the third day talking zyban I took 3 drags and throw away cigarette. That was my last one. I can't look at cigarettes. Last pack is still on my countertop. Zyban is the best"


"Worst experience. My daughter was just 10 months old. I took first shot on January 9 and was supposed to take another one in March.
As soon as I took the shot my periods became irregular. I went to my GP she said it's very common and it will continue and will stop after few days. I had periods for more than 30 days. I started to react very weird in those days.  A few days later I felt some changes in my taste and then my husband asked me to do preg. Check. I was shocked to see the results. I never wanted to have a baby so soon.  I was depressed and used to cry a lot. It was the worst time of my life.I Finally decided to continue with the pregnancy. My daughter is now 3 yrs and my son 1.5 yrs old. I won't recommend at all. I don't want anyone else to suffer"


"My doctor prescribed Sprintec to me because of cramps (like the type that make you throw up, wake you up in the middle of night, etc...). In terms of keeping my period away, Sprintec worked great! When I first started taking it, I kind of lost my appetite, and my acne disappeared.
However! Before I started taking birth control, I had no mental health problems, the only time I felt sad was due to a bad grade or drama with friends. These days, I have severe depression, and have felt suicidal! If you have ANY sort of depression, no matter how severe, or if mental illness runs in your family, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!! It will only make your life miserable."


"Immediately reduces pain to bearable level, and completely eliminates it in 2-3 days."


"I was an addict, I've been on methadone for 12 years and am slowly coming down, my Dr. Gives me clonidine for my sweating the trouble is if I take them all before my next refill I have to suffer through some serious withdrawals, clonidine is good for sweating but is damm hard on you if you stop cold turkey, it's not the "God send" like people say (at least not for me) but it does help, I am not going to refill my script though because I don't want to go through this again. (I've already got the methadone to worry about I don't need to detox from this crap too, I'll deal with the sweats without clonidine.... So be careful with this stuff. (I take 3-4 .2's a day- the Orange ones)"


"I took this for six months, I felt great, then my doctor took me off it because he said I shouldn't take it for too long, this was 4 years ago, now for the past year my anxiety is horrible. I wish he hasn't taken me off out and now I'm going to talk to my new doctor about it."


"Been on Avodart for 3 months now. 0.5mg a day. Don't have to urinate as often. Have regrown almost a full head of hair. Libido and ejaculation are still in working order. Although I take an aromatose inhibitor to help combat having low DHT and high estrogen. For those who have libido issues this may be the culprit as DHT is known to help regulate estrogen in men. Having little DHT will result in an increase of estrogen and low sex drive."


"My husband asked for something to help with poopin  (he never needs help as he is very regular.  I gave him what I take Dulcolax little 5mg gold pills 2 pills at 11:30 pm His 1s

after the first poop this am and after breakfast he got nauseas

it has continued all day with finally taking pepto bismal to help cramps (which will turn your stool watery or not very dark to black

We thought he had food poisoning as I have taken dulcolax for years with no problem

Then I searched and to my surprise this Dr recommended laxative has made his Memorial Day weekend suck..2 colonoscopy no problem

He had the shivers, shakes, projectile vomiting after drinking water and terrible stomach cramps first time ever I have seen this Big man spend most of day in be"


"I've been on the depo shot for about 5 months, the first 2 months were great; I didn't get my period and I felt normal. Ever since the 3rd month I have had spotting that comes and goes; sometimes it lasts for days and other times it is just a 'discharge' that happens throughout the day that I can usually predict because of the cramping it comes with. I like the easiness of the shot, but the side effects are annoying and not worth the trouble. Especially after reading other reviews, I think I'll go back on regular birth control."


"Diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 1997. Failed Enbrel and Humira with hives, itching. Tried Orencia but their patient program and delivering meds was a huge disappointment (IV med only available at the time). MTX caused my liver enzymes to go nuts. Started Rituxan in 2009. My results were atypical. Rituxan is my liquid gold with a platinum price tag! A few weeks after my 2nd infusion, I felt incredible. I started running and biking. I lost 83 lbs in 4 months. I went from 235lbs of prednisone, sedentary and having 3 kids increased weight to a healthy 152lbs. I wasnt fatigued. For the first time in 19 years I was in remission while not pregnant. Not for everybody, but great for me."


"I had the skyla inserted 02/03/2016  I have 2 kids I still felt some pain and some spotting it's pretty comfortable but keep in mind everybody's body is different just go based on your own experience"


"Solodyn worked great for me! I got really sick on Doxycycline, so my dermatologist switched me to this. It cleared up my body & face acne (I was/am also taking Veltin as a topical). I understand it can be very expensive for some people, but my insurance covered it with a $20 copay. I was on Solodyn for 6 months and just stopped taking it on advice of my derm about 2 weeks ago. So far so good! I would recommend it. I didn't have any side effects on it like I had on the Doxy."


"Very few side effects.  A little fatigue now and then, but you get that with Fibromyalgia anyway.  It has greatly improved my quality of life and attitude towards life in general.  I'm a much happier person having limited pain now."


"I have a history of headaches so extremethat I had to go to the hospital and get shots. When I started using etodolac it resolved my headache issues without narcotics and I have been using it for years now. Etodolac doesn't fit under headache relief but in my case it works wonders and I would never be without it. Try it the next time you have a big headache."


"I've been onit for about a week and I'm feeling g much better I have been o. Every med there is and so far this is working"


"Hey, my 6-year old was on this medication for about 7 weeks when he began to hallucinate (2mg). So we had switched to something else which actually made him worse then he was with out any meds. So we put him back on intiniv and started back at 1mg... This was about 2 weeks ago... And he has been doing fantastic!"
