"I got Nexplanon abut a year and a half ago and I can not wait until I get it removed. I get frequent migraines, I am having problems fighting depression and major anxiety. I have acne all over my face, my shoulders, my back, and it's even started on my stomach area. I have my period for about 3 weeks every month and it's not just spotting, it is extremely heavy, and I have cramps constantly. My sleeping habits are way out of wack; its either I want to sleep all day or not at all. My appetite has sky rocketed and I feel like I can never get enough to eat and yet I've lost a TON of weight since getting it. I have absolutely no sex drive what so ever. I would never in a million years recommend this to anyone. I hope this gave some insight"


"Insomnia was ruining my life. People who have not experienced it have no idea how bad it can be. If you're going through it, stay positive! You will find your solution one day. For me, trazodone was the solution. Still needed good sleep habits etc. it's a pill, not a miracle. But it changed my life."


"I am on my last week of 12 taking Zepatier and have had absolutely no side effects EXCEPT I have gained 6 pounds while taking this drug...not sure why I just want to carb load. I was on this site wondering about long term effects on my body from taking a drug that I know nothing about but I will not have hep c, the virus is now non detectable in my blood tests after having it for over 40 years."


"...and I was thinking I'm imagining stuff. I just started my 7th month on the patch. The last 5 days I worked myself sick thinking about whether  I had a brain tumor and dying on my little girls, couldn't snap out of the mood. From the beginning of taking these I had those headaches (progressively worsening...) and it worried me a lot. I was feeling sick but not being able to puke, horrible loss of balance  and vertigo (full wack with eyeballs movement), weight gain (but I blamed that on the fact that I stopped running due to muscle pain and balance probs). The patches left red marks and rash, itchy skin (all over) and little cough with no reason... Lately the anxiety problems are my biggest scare. I booked the GP. The EVRA is going bye bye... One pro - no pregnancy."


"I've been on this birth control for about 4 years now and the very beginning of it was hard. I was young so I wasn't paying attention to how my body was reacting but looking back it made me hungry with a huge appetite and I had spotting for almost a month straight. The doctor said it was normal and I just needed to adjust. I've been on this medication since and I think it's great. Only giving 9/10 because I do get frequent spotting when I'm not supposed to, but what do you expect from something that only makes you have your period every 3 months. The other major downfall of this medication is that I completely lost my sex drive."


"I have had Mirena for 1yr now, I had my doctor insert it after my six week check up, after having my baby. I never tried birth control before but thought it would never hurt to try. My experience with it so far has been very uncomfortable the insertion was horrible. I went into depression, mood swings and weight gain. My sex drive went completely out the window. I want to remove it but I just don't want to go through the same scenario with another Birth Control."


"My 15 year-old son has narcolepsy. Ritalin gave him nightmares, which he rarely had, and kept him awake half the night. Discontinued after 11 days."


"This medication is a life saver for me. I have suffered with Meniere's Disease for 22 years which causes episodes of loss of equilibrium which can totally knock you flat or just make your life hell for days at a time. The episodes are usually not predictable but seem to come to life every year or so. Short time use of valium is the only thing that helps so I can continue my normal activities until my ear settles down again."


"Just started this medicine for my OCD intrusive memories and thoughts problem with extreme anxiety attacks . 10mg at the moment . So lets see"


"I was most concerned about mood changes/depression when beginning this pill, as the last BC I was on built upon my already-existing anxiety and depression. However, I just started my third pack, and it's helped my mood more than ruined it. That's not to say it's not without its obvious side effects - throughout the last two months I've experienced multiple side effects as my body adjusts to the hormones, albeit only for a few days to a week at most. Breast tenderness, cramps, headaches, dizziness, and even a two-week long period for the first two weeks. It seems like I'm finally experiencing the nausea side effect that almost everyone mentioned, but I somewhat expected it and it's not a huge deal."


"The first sachet was so hard to get down, it was disgusting it took me a few hours to take it, I think this is because it was room temperature and in a pint glass. The second sachet was much easier to get down, as I put ice in the cup and used a smaller glass I also held my nose and drank water after every gulp.  I found the sachets very successful and definitely cleared me out."


"I had suffered for 3 months with sciatica and chronic, paralysing back pain. I had diazepam, temegesic, naproxem, solpadol, omeprazale, for pain relief , all across the 3 months and nothing worked. I went to the physio (on crutches) and he assessed me, and couldn't do anything due to the inability to move much. He mentioned trying Amitriptyline to address the nerve inflammation. I went to the doctor and started on low dose of 10mg x 2 per night. After 3 nights I was able to stand, walk, sit - basically was back to 80%, I still have sciatic ache in my leg but it has literally changed my quality of life. I have been on them a week, but it is allowing me to stretch and do some physio now. Yes to the dry mouth, but try it out."


"I went on this pill a while back to help regulate my period and help with severe cramps. I had an extremely heavy flow and my cramps were so unbearable. Also, I would get my period for 12 days, sometimes twice a month. Since being on the pill, I usually dont get any cramps which is amazing. I also noticed that my skin is always 100% clear. However, I would say that I gained a solid 20 pounds since being on the pill and am currently trying to work it off with healthy eating and regular exercise. Side note, the first week i took this i was throwing up every night and feeling nauseated but if you stick with it those side effects eventually subside.  Overall, besides the weight gain I would say that this pill has done wonders."


"So far (knock on wood) I have not experiences any MAJOR side effects but I plan on checking back here after being on the medication for longer than a week.
I have noticed the sweating (not severe though) my doctor did warn me about it before I started taking it.   The first day I had a HORRIBLE headache and was dizzy most of the day.  It was gone after my first nights sleep on it.   I can't make a good or bad judgment on it YET however if in a month I experience any thing else I will check it - well I'll check in here either way because these forums with REAL experiences helped me when I was first introduced to this drug as I had never heard of it before."


"Very helpful medicine."


"This is the worst drug I have ever experienced one suppository and around fifty minutes later uncontrolled and painful bowel movements I collapsed and could not get up of the bathroom floor I was so light headed cramps constant need to pee be very wary of this drug it takes hours to recover"


"Went to the ER for a headache along with depression and was given compazine threw an IV an has been feeling detached from reality every since last year of november anybody else feels this way after taking this medicine and what do I need to do to get back to NORMAL all I do is cry and wonder why the doctors didnt warn me before taking this "


"When I got ran over by the 18 wheeler, tried everything. Chiropractor, Physical therapy, tramadol, etc. nothing stopped the pain. Lortab 7.5 is only thing that works. Take 1/2 in morning, 1/2 at lunch, and 1/2 in evening. Just watch for dizziness, nausea, and I guess that's a side effect. I feel loopy and detached a little, but it's better than hurting all the time. Most definitely don't mix with booze, made me sick as a dog. Also watch your tolerance. One day tried to take a whole one and had to lay down.  Just be mindful it hits everyone different. Hope this helps."


"I'm about to start my fourth month on Gianvi. For the first month or two, I was more emotional than usual and had hunger cravings all the time. Now I feel normal or maybe I've just gotten used to it.
It does kind of weird things for my period. My period doesn't actually start until I'm halfway through the placebo pills, and then it doesn't end until I've taken a couple of the regular pills, so that can be kind of annoying. Period is cramp-free though which is nice.
My breasts have gotten a bit bigger. Didn't seem to affect acne very much, I still break out, no worse or better than before."


"DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE TAKING! Consult with your doctor but also be aware of the side effects involved. Symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, muscle weakness, slowed speech, muscle spasms, twitching / fidgeting, nightmares. Not for everyone."


"I started suffering from hair loss just recently. My doctor prescribed me this medicine. After 1 month of using it, my hair doesn't fall any more. Until now I continue using it and there's no other side effects. This medicine is so amazing!"


"I've been taking Avapro to prevent diabetic kidney disease, as I only have half of one kidney left after two bouts of kidney cancer.  So far, so good.  The Avapro has lowered my blood pressure also - sometimes goes a little too low, which is when I feel tired.  Other than that I have no noticeable side effects.  However, my doctor will have to find some other medication to protect my remaining partial kidney because my insurance company won't pay for Avapro anymore - even though my doctor says nothing else works as well.  "


"I'm 40 yr old healthy female that mysteriously had my first gout attack this week.  I thought my toes were broken.  I got into the doc right away and he rx'd indomethacin.  Well I'm 4 days after the attack and getting around pretty good and started managing it with just aleve by the 3Rd day but I quit the indomethacin because the side effects were terrible.  Bad headaches,  really tired,  dizzy. I thought it was the vicodin given to me for the pain but my side effects worsened even after I quit vicodin.  Everyone is different and I would have taken anything on day 1 to try and help the pain but I quit taking this drug as soon as my foot cleared up. The drug is unbearable.  Hopefully no new attacks for me and this is a freak thing."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"60 yr old female.  Second colonoscopy; first time using Prepopik.  Dr instructed me to take 2 Dulcolax at noon day before procedure.  That started the ball rolling!  Then at 5pm first dose of Prepopik.  I started drinking water right away.  First cleanse started about two hours later.  It lasted a few hours.  Took second and last dose of Prepopik at 10pm.  That cleanse came in about 2 hrs.  Lasted about 2 hrs.  Procedure next day at 10am was successful.  Prepopik worked for me.  The Dulcolax certainly helped."


"I've been depressed, with high levels of anxiety for ten years. I tried several different medications and I finally settled with an anti-depressant to help with sleep, and also was taking 3 Klonopin a day as well as trazodone at night for sleep for seven years. So I'm really thinking I may be on all these medicines for life and maybe be put on disability. So the doc finally put me on Prozac. It's been 2 months now and my anxiety has gone way down, I am less depressed, I no longer worry about things and am off trazodone and don't take Klonopin anymore. I have great dreams and wake up every morning with happy songs in my head, and I'm much more social. Prozac has just been a blessing, probably saved my life as I had lost all hope."


"I am starting my 4th month on this birth control today. I was originally on aviane for 3 months but it broke my face out horribly, so my doctor switched me to this. At first the results were not good but by the end of my third month using Tri-previfem my face was clearer than it had been in months! Flawless actually. Give it time if you're using this birth control to clear up acne. By the end of month 3 I was delighted with my results!"


"I definitely regret take the depo shot as BC. I didn't spot the first time I got the shot but a month or two after I started spotting and it's been constant for about 6 months now. The main issue was that I gained weight on it. I have always been the same weight no matter how much I eat and don't exercise. This is the first time my weight has increased this fast and its quite depressing. I was supposed to go in for my fourth shot but decided against it and am going to be trying to patch now. Hopefully it doesn't have the same side affects. Not having a period with cramps every month was great but I'd rather deal with that than constant spotting."


"My daughter is 8 years old and have been taking medicines since she was almost 4. She has been on a lot of different medicines. I am just wondering if her sudden outburst of happy, sad violent behavior is due to the doctors increasing her Vyvanse from 20mg to start with 1 year ago to 70mg which is what she is taking today."


"I am titrating on 3 mg of Vraylar for week 2 and all my agitation is gone. I feel calm and sensible now. I'm tapering off of seroquel so I do not know how beneficial it will be with sleep but there's less sedation during the day which is a plus. I would recommend vraylar because of its low side effects profile."


"I have been on genvoya for almost a year now I switched from another medication due to gastrointestinal complications with these medications. I still experience daily bouts of bloating constipation and the inability to clear my bowel. The doctor says I should get a colonoscopy although I had a sigmoidoscopy they found nothing my blood test and fecal samples came back normal I think these medications have it out for my intestines. There are days where there are no issues then there are days where I'm in the bathroom for at least 4 to 5 hours off and on feeling like I could probably die right here on the toilet. I just want relief from my gastrointestinal issues related 2 genvoya.."


"Began the free trial and took Belviq for 2 full weeks.  No weight loss at all not even a pound!Made me feel very tired and irritable.  Had trouble waking up in the morning. Had dull headache and constipation.  I would highly recommend utilizing the free trial first   This medicine can be very costly."


"I took Lexapro for 5-6 years started with 10 mg then eventually increased to 30 mg. It worked great for helping me keep calm, and helped my depression and was able to deal with stress, however the more I had to increase the dose the more tired I got, and I eventually got to a point I just could not function, it took everything I had just to get out of bed then maybe 2 hrs later I was ready for a 3-4 hour nap. My doctor then switched me back to 10mg and added Wellbutrin that worked good together but when I had to increase the dose of Lexapro I got to where I couldn't function again. Lexapro is a good medication at a low dose."


"Bottle is almost impossible to open. Who knows if it's effective or not. I suggest get pharmacist to open it for you before you leave the store"


"While I've used this med. in the past, it has been increasingly difficult each time.  While it appears to help the bronchitis, I can't stay on it long enough anymore to get the benefit as the muscle pain (low back/legs/feet) is intolerable to the point that I have to take pain medication for my ongoing back pain issues to deal with the myalgia that the Cipro causes!  For me, Cipro is no longer an option and I'm having to find another medicine to help with bronchitis.  The tendonitis issue is something to watch out for as this last time, several days after stopping the Cipro, I got up from my chair and my feet buckled underneath me. I fell to the floor and twisted my ankle, so am wondering if the tendons were affected. Be careful with this!"


"I started my first dose of 750mg last night before reading the adverse side-effects!  Big mistake.  I only slept one hour, which was 4:40am to 5:30am and it was fitful.  I feel extremely energetic, even hyper.  I don't even feel tired! My face was getting red around 9:00am and now my face, neck, chest and shoulders are bright red and painful.  I feel like I'm super sun-burned.  I called the pharmacist and she told me to take some Benadryl immediately and call my Doctor.  I'm waiting on him to return my call.  It doesn't matter since I don't plan on taking a second dose.  This is really a very powerful antibiotic and I my breathing feels much better even after one dose.  If I wasn't having such a bad allergic reaction, I would recommend this medicine."


"I do like this medicine because it helps me to control my nervousness and instant reactions to stimuli much better than without it. I almost can pretend I'm normal.  And because of its long shelf-life, if I want to reduce my dose because it can make me feel moody and lethargic after continuously taking it for a while...there's no side effects other than feeling better. Its easy to manage my own mood by upping or lowering my intake on the same prescription. I may go a week without it and feel fine, but when I start to get heart palpitations and my mind blanks out when I'm confronted, I begin to take it again. That way it helps me to stabilize but I'm not relying on it ALL the time."


"I have taken this medication a few times & have had different experiences with it every time, from stabbing pains/cramping and nausea, to the last time with almost no symptoms at all.
I think the main difference is in the preparation-I would never take more than one of these pills at a time (two was way too much). Furthermore, for minimal symptoms I take at around 7:00pm, drink four glasses of water (at least) and go to bed around 9:00pm. Wake up at 6:00am, and have a bit softer than normal BM. Make sure you are well hydrated when you take this product. With the good experience I had I hadn't ate since 6:00pm, and was well hydrated before bed."


"I have a macro non functioning pituitary adenoma which is causing compression of my pituirtary stalk "stalk effect" which causes increases in prolactin  blood levels. My endo put me on this to reduce the 'stalk effect' I'm suffering from my macro adenoma. My crushing headaches have weakened, the lactating stopped and my period is back on schedule. However the side effects are extreme. They last about 5 days after taking my dose for the week. The nausea is unbearable, causing me to take a drug for that at $104/mth as I spent all day vomiting. I have what I describe as a feeling of being drunk and hungover all at once. I can't drive, but for two days a week. So tired, dizzy, weak, low blood pressure, flu like. I am hoping for surgery soon, but I live so remotely logistics make it difficult, as I'm 13 hours from the specialists. I rated a 5 as the headaches were horrid, but so are the side effects."


"My doctor put my on Depo-Provera after laproscopy for endometriosis.  I had irregular periods after the first shot and after the second I remember I had one period that seemed to last for a month. This is a known side effect and as promised it went away after the third shot.  I haven't had my period now in about a year.  I also haven't had any debilitating endometriosis symptoms either.  I think I gained about 5 lbs total but then again I'm also in my 40s and that could simply be a part of aging. I am a big fan.  It gave me nearly total relief after getting through the first 6 months."


"I was having panic attacks so bad I would have to pull off the road while driving. My husband was waiting on a double lung transplant when these attacks started. After the transplant the care giving made these attacks become worse. I couldn't breathe, I wanted to cover up under something and not come out. My doctor gave me Lexapro and one dose made me worse. He ask me to try Cymbalta and after one dose I became immediately better. I've been on Cymbalta for 4 years, and would hate to go back to the times when I had those attacks. It obviously was the medicine I needed."


"I have had GAD ever since I can remember and I am 31 now. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING helped. My anxiety was so extreme, every minute of every day I was consumed with it. I had severe panic attacks and would sometimes faint. Gabapentin has been life changing for me. I have been on it for 3 months and my GAD is almost gone. I still have panic attacks at night, but this medication has been a miracle for me and I am and would definitely recommend trying it, specially if you are not responsive to 'normal' anxiety medications."


"To Socanxiety. I have been on EffexorXR for over 10 years. (I also have short term memory loss so my doctor put me on Concerta, 36 mgs, which is the lowest dose and it is helping!) I am 59 years old and am happy and less anxious with taking effexor 225 mgs a day. I take 75mg pill before bed and am less anxious when I get up. Then I take the 150mg capsule in the morning. I still have times that I have anticipatory anxiety and use 10 mgs of Valium which helps. I am hoping when we retire and move south that I can lower the Effexor. Great med and I have tried many over the last 20 years!!"


"Absolute best antibiotic I've ever used! I was feeling better within 2 days. No side effects. I've used it for both a UTI and Sinus Infection. Worked amazingly both times. I have a sensitive stomach and usually hate taking medication. But this stuff really works."


"I have been on Benlysta for seven months now and it's really helping with the fatigue. I finally feel like I can get up and do something on my days off of work. I'm in the medical field and really don't want to end my career yet. As far as the joint and muscle pain it's still there unfortunately. Maybe it will get better soon."


"I love zolpidem. For those who say it doesn't work, you MUST take it on an empty stomach and go to right to bed. There have been times it didn't work and that was when I ate within about an hour or two before."


"I actually started Contrave on November 21, 2015 and lost a couple of pounds but gained back Christmas.  It took until Jan. 2 to work up to the full dose; then I really started to lose. Since Jan. 2 (today is Jan. 30)  I have lost a total of 18 pounds with Contrave, the Scale-Down program (weighing daily), low carb diet and 23 minutes on the  elliptical almost every day.   About mid-Jan I hit a plateau and hovered around the same weight for two weeks.   I start losing again by cutting back food portions and cutting some fat out of the Atkins approach.  I also doubled my elliptical workout to 46 minutes a day at least 5 days a week.  That got the weight loss going again.  I haven't had this kind of success since the old diet pill days."


"Good."


"UPDATED REVIEW:

Okay, so I started Adipex on 9/15/16, I'm 5'5" and at the time weighed 240. 16 days later (10/1/16) I'm down to 228.  The side effects have subsided (insomnia, crashing, jitteriness, etc...).  I find that I can go the whole day without eating due to lack of appetite which is not good.  I do have to remind myself eat throughout the day, but that is not a big deal.  I would definitely recommend this product/medication to someone who is overweight and finding it hard to lose weight on their own.  So far it seems to be working! Let's see how the next month goes!"


"Gabapentin has significantly helped my pain due to neuropathy disorder.  I take it for numbness of hands with shooting severe pain during sleep which wakes me 3 to 4 times a night. I must get up, wash hands with hot water then use a heating pad till they settle enough to sleep again.  It does not take all the symptoms away but any relief is greatly appreciated."


"I had sex with my boyfriend 1/29 around 3am and he came inside of me for the first time (and last). I was fertile and my ovulatation date was 2/1. I freaked out because we are always careful and I'm not on birth control. So He went to out and bought the pill a hour after we had sex. I was suppose to get my period 2/15, but I'm glad to say it came two days early! The waiting period is stressful because you don't want to be that unlucky 5% but if you take it soon as possible and abstain from sex or use protection it will work! The only side effect I had was abdominal pain, but it went away in 3 days. Plan b is GREAT and only a TEMPORARY fix. I hope this is helpful and that it works for you ladies as well."


"Besides reducing the nerve pain from bulging discs, it also noticeably reduced the constant, annoying ringing in my ears."


"I have never felt as well on any other medicine or been able to keep my sugar level as consistent as it is now through out the day."


"Before my psychotic break that turned into a delusional police chase I was manic, terribly delusional, thought the devil was everywhere I went, thought people were after me, thought devil controlled electronics and the internet. Just too many bad symptoms and after receiving invega injection I've been told that I was more outgoing, and had absolutely no symptoms. But the side effects sucks such as high prolactin levels which resulted in low testosterone, anhedonia, and lower emotions"


"It helped me a lot. One pill and I sleep like a baby."


"I used Accutane about a year ago and it did wonders for my skin. As for side effects, I had dry lips but it was not a problem. I took the medication for five months and it cleared my acne. I had never felt so good about myself. After six months of taking it, my acne came back. I heard that you sometimes have to go on a second round with it before it totally clears your acne for a long time. Accutane is the best and I highly recommend it to anyone who tried everything to clear their skin. It is expensive but worth it."


"The gel is really good but you need to use as indicated or 2 or 4 times a day depending on the strength for at least 2 day , then you wil feel the real benefits of voltarol "


"In one sense it handled many of my symptoms, but I became a completely different person. I was no longer myself at all. I made many, many horrible decisions affecting my family friends, business, etc. I adopted a whole new set of values - i just wasn't myself anymore. When I finally decided to go off it I spent 9 months of withdrawal symptoms, splitting capsules every day and gradually reducing the amount of grains. "


"mary4589 --along with your dry mouth, did you have any dryness of skin at the fingers and palms of your hands --I mean severe wrinkling of fingers and palms like you have been in the tub for a week? I was 2 weeks on this med and it's been 4 months off and still have extreme dry mouth. I have cut off all other meds and vitamins to figure out what is causing this dry mouth and hands, but after reading the reviews it could be this medication has permanently cut off our saliva system.  for all others who are thinking about taking this med - think about how this will not only affects your bladder problem but everything to do with water in your system."


"I had bad constipation and my urgent care doctor prescribed it
To me so I wouldn't throw up due to me being terrified of it. After about 30-60 minutes I feel a lot better and I can actually eat again. It doesn't help out so much with the constipation but it keeps my anxiety from building up towards the vomitting."


"I have noticed a marked decrease in fatigue. Very pleased with it. Also little or no pain in my joints. I have more energy now than before, I am going in to my third month of use."


"Was on enbrel for seven years, got relief after first injection.  I developed breast cancer this year and feel that enbrel played a part in bringing it on.  I wouldn't change a thing though, I would have been crippled by now, I had good years enjoying life while on enbrel.  I can no longer take enbrel, and my RA has gotten so much worse.  Also taking prednisone, sulfasalazine, and methotrexate."


"I started Avonex about 6 months after diagnosis. I got terribly sick after injecting. It was like coming down with the flu once a week. I felt feverish and painfully achy. I took naproxen and that helped. Later on I asked my neurologist for Vicodin to help out with the achy pain. Together the medicines helped the side effects. I never miss a week and as I injected more and more, the side effects have lessened to the point that with Vicodin I can work well on my injection days. I cannot sleep thru the night on an injection. I sleep poorly and wake up in pain several times. I have not had a relapse in five years on Avonex though my balance and leg have slowly worsened somewhat. I still work my feet full time."


"Since my early teens, I have endured horrible cystic acne covering my face, back, and chest. After trying various vitamins, creams, and dieting strategies, at 17 I started taking a low-estrogen pill. My acne flared up even worse. I then diagnosed myself with producing large amounts of the male hormone androgen and switched to Gianvi at 18. I have been on this pill for roughly 4 or 5 months, and have noticed a significant skin change. Instead of producing large cysts, I now have smaller pimples and for that, I am incredibly grateful. However, I now have the average amount of estrogen in my system, and so, for this reason, I have noticed a SIGNIFICANT weight change. I diet meticulously, and yet I have gained 15 pounds! Will be switching pills"


"I have osteoarthritis as well as residual pain from a serious back surgery 4 years ago.  I have been taking Naproxen for four years and just could not control the pain without occasional doses of a narcotic.  I cannot believe how much better I feel.  I have been back out on my bike and working in the garden.  Things I have not been able to do all summer.  So far, I am very impressed.  We will see what happens this winter."


"Had psoriasis most of my life starting as a teenager. Tried many things before cosentyx inclding Enbrel and Stelara. After 15 long years of nothing working for me Cosentyx has cleared my body by at least 95%. Very easy to use and thankfully NO side affects at all !!!"


"I've had Type 2 diabetes since 1990 from pregnancy. I've been on the pills, insulin, insulin pump. Before getting on this medication I was on 100 units of Lantus and 60 of Humalog. A1C has been as high as 9.6. On my last appointment before getting on this medication my A1c was 8.6. In 3 -4 months I've lost 20 pounds, more energy, fasting between 90-130. I'm only on Lantus 52 units now. The best thing is my A1C went down to 7.6 which had not been that low for 9 years. Double my water intake. Yeast infection a couple of times but none since. This has been a life saver for me."


"I'd rather stay constipated than used this again! Used Coloxyl with Senna to treat 4-day constipation due to a viral stomach bug. Supposed to work in 8 hours but 4 hours after taking 1 tablet i got bad stomach pains, nausea and a general unwell feeling. Lasted all night and into the next morning."


"Huge improvement after a few days. Been on this medication since June 11th, I'm starting to feel unwell again I don't know if this med is failing. I'm scared that I'm going to relapse. I have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. A couple of weeks ago my GP prescribed zyban with escitalopram. Zyban after three days gave me issues with tunnel vision. I will be asking for for another med to help with escitalopram for my increased anxiety and bad thoughts."


"Tried Terazosin but failed due to lethargy. Next tried Flomax but failed due to extreme constant headache. Next Uroxatral which had fewer side effects aside from a bit of nasal congestion. Had some mild constant pelvic pain so Urologist suggested Rapaflo. Very low nasal, or lethargy side effects, but this medicine gave me retrograde ejaculation and took away most sex drive.  This medicine would be fine if I were older and not having sex.  But I am 50 and my girlfriend is starting to wonder."


"Greetings fellow preppers! Positive as far as results and even taste.

I've done other cheaper preps in the past and while the 'end' results were clearing ,others made me gag and vomit but not this. Please do have your bttle of waters chilled in refrigerator so cold. manage clear liquids all day till 6 pm, poured the 6 oz bottle of prep into the container provided and then topped off to the fill line cold water. grabbed a lemon and a straw, then proceeded to the bathroom in case I got sick drinking it but I didn't. I actually found the straw annoying and gagging so removed it,licked the lemon then started sipping a mouthful at a time.Got it all down in 10 minutes, then 30 mins later on commode,Clear in 1 1/2 hrs. repeat in morn.Blessings2 U"


"I've been taking this for 4 weeks and have lost 20lbs! I don't have cravings and just a few bites and I'm full. I drink a lot of water."


"I am SO happy with Sprintec. I had a horrible experience with Lo Loestrin Fe. I change doctors and he prescribed Sprintec. So far no side effects. I've only noticed some breast tenderness and mild acne. It's working great for me!"


"This medicine did not work as well for me as Lunesta or Ambien, but I like that it is not addicting. It is definitely better than nothing. I did feel mildly hungover the next day.

"


"I having been using Epiduo for over a year now and I haven't had any bad experiences with it. I had mild acne and this cleared it up really quickly. Now the only acne I get is hormonal and I put the epiduo on at night, almost using it like a spot treatment and the spots are already almost gone the next morning. It comes in a fairly small bottle and I have to get a refill every few months it seems which is the only downside."


"I was on 250 mg 3X a day for one week to treat a giardia infection I have likely had for years without detection.  My doctor will also have me on a three-day course in about two weeks, in keeping with the cyst cycles.

I just finished the course and had no adverse side effects.  I took them in the middle of fairly-sized meals and made sure to drink at least a gallon of water a day, along with eating a clean diet.  Perhaps it was the lower dose or one of those measures, but I did not even feel fatigued during the course of my medication. Know that not everyone has terrible (or any) side effects. I delayed taking these after reading so many accounts of awful experiences, but I imagine there are plenty of others that have no side effects."


"I have been taking citalopram 60mg for about 3 years.
At first it was working great, I was smiling more and laughing from the bottom of my stomach instead of just my throat. Now though I feel like it has completely stopped working. I have mood swings, anxiety, fears, not sleeping, waking up before dawn, etc. I don't know if it's just me or is my medicine telling me it need's a change. What else can I try? I need my life back, my children need me."


"So I've have the implant for around a year and a half now and I'm so over it. So far I've had horrible weight gain, at least a stone, with no lifestyle changes. I also now have constant mood swings and periods at least twice a month! I never had a period for almost 6 months when it first went in, now I feel I've hardly been off my period for a year. Sometime it can last almost 6 weeks and gives me extremely bad migraines. However I will say it has done its job in that in not pregnant and I can't forget to take it but the cons definitely out weight the small benefits"


"At 46, I had a Total Abdominal hysterectomy 6 months ago due to adenomyosis and severe endometriosis. Had no hormone therapy at first  the doctor took a wait and see approach. One month ago I started having intense hot flashes and joint inflammation.  Doctor prescribed 1 mg estradiol a week ago and I noticed my symptoms vanished almost completely by day 2. I learned after trial in error that taking it in the morning works best for me as it gives me a ton of energy. I'm starting to feel human again."


"I want to I really say people should wait at least 3 months before they rate Deplin or any psychiatric medicine, unless you have some major horrible reaction. Deplin gave me a kick start the first week I took it for some reason but then the effects disappeared.  I talked to the P-doc and he said it takes something like 6 weeks to build up in your system. Well after about 6 weeks or so I started to notice the effects. It gave my Wellbutrin a huge boost and my energy level rose through the roof. People rating a medicine after 2 days is just ridiculous and annoying. Even the SSRI's take a couple weeks to work. Stop it people."


"Feel like a walking zombie - unable to work or operate in a normal environment."


"Part 2
        May be something or nothing. I have RLS. when I was in my early teens myself and friends use to pitch a tent on the field in front of our house's during the summer. There was a rival group of kids too, they pitched tents else were. We used to play daft games. I can remember if we left the tent in the middle of the night with no shoes on,walked around on hard footpaths, roads etc. I always got RLS on getting back into the tent. This was my first memory of RLS. it never happened at any other time growing up. Maybe a clue as to why it happens. It started again at the age of 35ish. pass this on to other health pro's or think back for a trigger we may find out why and how this happens.k.midd 2017.."


"I say thank you 2 the company of Alvesco inhaler. Since using this my asthma attacks have become less frequent from getting admitted to hospital once a month, now only going in once every 5 months. My asthma is very chronic so I recommend Alvesco. THANK YOU.

"


"I can not even begin to tell you how Suboxone has saved my life. After 14 yrs of Opiate addiction stemming from a medical condition, I was scared to try it. I had experienced withdrawl a few times before but I did try it and my entire life changed. I am enjoying my life. I never felt any withdrawls. I started by taking 2 a day, now take 1 a day and feel great. Soon I'll be off completely. Please at least try them. You might get your life back."


"I've been on the shot for about 6 months I haven't had a period or spotting except for just recently and I can't seem to use the restroom enough I don't drink that much liquids I've been bloated and having stomach cramps to. I think I'm going to see my doctor to get checked out. Other than that I haven't had any problems with the Depo-Provera."


"I rate Singulair with a ten because it has done everything I could have hoped for. I am 15 now and started taking it when I was 10 or 11. I am able to live my daily life without worrying about asthma, and I use albuterol 15 minutes before exercise through an inhaler, but without Singulair, I'm sure it would be much worse. I have had absolutely no side effects whatsoever, and I am severely allergic to peanuts, nuts, shellfish, and have had allergic reactions to other medicines in the past. This is wonderful!"


"I've been on Trilipix for over a year after every other cholesterol medicine failed. I either had side effects from them or they just didn't work. Trilipix lowered my triglycerides from 600  to the low 200's without a change in diet.  I've had only minor, tolerable side effects (mostly bloating feelings) from this drug.  I am taking it alone without other cholesterol-lowering supplements."


"This pill did not go well with me. I took it for a week & felt bloated, got acne, headaches everyday, nausea! I would take the pill at 7pm so my stomach wouldn't be empty but I would wake up around 3am to wanting to vomit. I started it on a day 1 start & my period was so long and heavy, it didn't stop until I stopped taking the pill that week. But I tried taking it again since I've read that symptoms will usually go away after a few months. The 2nd time around I felt bloated & got a headache again the first day. The first night I woke up at 2am to throw up with a cold sweat I felt I would pass out. I'm going to look into something else. I can't function with this nausea & moodiness."


"The only thing that stops the spasms in my back is the Flector patch and my insurance no longer covers this.......back to square one"


"My 9 year old daughter has been on this for about 2 months.  We switched from Adderall XR due to severe weight loss.  This seems to work much better and also does not affect her personality like Adderall.   She has some loss of appetite but not as bad.   Yesterday I forgot to give the medication to her and she had a severe crying spell last night and did not know why.  I believe she may have been experiencing withdrawal symptoms.  She is taking 40 mg.   I may switch back to 30mg.  Be aware that you may not be able to stop this medication abruptly if on it for a long time."


"I first started off with Ortho Tri-Cyclen lo. I had heavy periods and for the first 3 months I almost fainted everyday. Then I switched to Lutera and I got a migraine everyday. I had bad cramps but very light period. Then switched to Aviane. I haven't had a single migraine and I still have very short light periods that last about 2-3 days. Just awesome."


"When I have low blood sugar in mid to late morning (light headed, shaky, nauseous) I hold 1/4 tablet (1gram) on my tongue and let it dissolve slowly.  Not a total cure but helps a lot.  (My doctor advised me to eat a banana, but it's not convenient to carry a banana in my pocket.)"


"I am a 25 year old woman who has been on and off birth control for the last nine years.  Being on various pills so long had KILLED my libido to the point that I forgot what it felt like to be aroused, and I recently began to bleed constantly between periods. I went to the gynecologist, and he put me on Loestrin 24 FE. I, off course, went home and researched it. The reviews I saw made me wary, but I started the regimen on Sunday, as directed. Granted, I did get sick (read: threw up) the second day, but after that, I had no problems whatsoever. And you know what? I stopped spotting, and best of all, my libido skyrocketed. I'm at the end of my first month of pills, so we'll see how it goes next month, but for now I couldn't be happier."


"This has been a wonder drug for me!  After 3 months of struggling including broken ribs from coughing, I am grateful that after just 1 dose I was feeling better!  No side effects either."


"Well I bought sudafed blocked nose capsules..my nose was blocked I could hardly breathe amongst other symptoms like flu fever sickness n high temperature. Anyway the thing that was bothering me the most was my blocked nose so I bought these sudufed capsules and it was the best thing I done I took one straight away when I bought them and thought at first they didn't work but as I continued to use them as stated on the packet the sure worked and made it so much easier to breathe so thank you I would definitely 100% recommend these brilliant product so thank you x"


"You can actually call this birth control because I didn't want to have sex while I was on it. I had no type of sex drive whatsoever and I'm always in a mood. I had mood swings, depression, and was nauseous all the time. The only thing that minastrin was good for was my period were light and lasted two days and I didn't get pregnant. I was originally on loestrin 24 fe and stopped. Loestrin 24 was the best birth control ever. I went back on birth control a year later because I couldn't afford to pay for it at the time but now my insurance basically covers anything now. The doctor prescribed me minastrin and it was the worst thing ever. I stopped using it after 3 months and felt so much better."


"I have been taking 50 mg of Trazadone for over a year now.  I think it's awesome!  I was prescribed it for insomnia, I have had insomnia since high school and I'm talking BAD insomnia, like 3 hours or less a night.  I could not cope any more.  I also have depression and anxiety, so I take 37.5 mg of Paxil everyday.  I take the Paxil in the am and the Trazadone at night.  When I take my normal dose of T. I wake up fine, not hungover, sick or anything.  The ONLY time I feel yuck when waking up is if I have tried to cut the T. down, which I have tried.  I don't like the withdrawals at all, I would rather take these pills for life then suffer the withdrawals.  I believe the T has also helped me with my depression."


"70 days smoke free so far, started taking Champix on 1st of Jan, 2015 - best decision of my life. I've tried other quit-smoking aids (gums, patches, e-cig's) and nothing worked. With Champix it wasn't even an effort to quit - seriously, after about 11 days into treatment it was becoming a drag to even go buy cigarettes let alone smoke them. Regarding adverse effects, in my last 3 weeks of treatment (took Champix for total of 6 weeks) I began experiencing nausea when taking the pills without food - the nausea was rectified when taking the drug with an adequate amount of food though and I experienced no other adverse effects. I smoked for 4 years, up to 2 packs per day. 10/10, Champix saved my lungs and I couldn't be happier!"


"I was prescribed escitalopram for anxiety and panic attacks. I did not have any difference in anxiety and instead suffered from extreme depression and suicidal thoughts within a few weeks of being on it. My doctor made me promise to try this one for at least 6 weeks and the feeling only got worse and worse. I had to slowly ween myself off (as warned to do), and feel 100x better with that stuff out of my system. Apparently this side effect is rare, but very scary."


"My seizures changed to Partial onset seizures. I can't remember what happened 5 minutes ago, but my seizures have subsided. I'm also weening off of Keppra it made me impossible to live with. I also want to sleep a lot."


"I am 45 2 kids had mirena put in January for ease of birth control and was recommended by dr. I have had no hormonal issues. however I have light bleeding almost every day (use 1-2 panty liners a day) since insertion. went back at 3 month dr told me body needs time to adjust. I'm trying to be patient but am about at wits end. had mirena put in so I could have safe sex--now don't have sex cause of constant bleeding. I'm gonna try to wait till 6 months and see if it lets up but not sure I can make it that long--hate to think I wasted 1/2 year on something that isn't working for me. if not I'm having it taken out. was on bc pills most of adult life and never had issue. any body else experience this and did it ever get better?"


"I've had this nexplanon since September and at first it was great! I had very light bleeding on and off for about 3 weeks and then it went away. After the bleeding I started to feel myself changing. Feeling  more tired then usual. All I want to do is sleep. and the weight gain is really bad. I use to eat mcdonalds every day, only cause I worked there, and I still was not this big. I can barely fit my jeans and by boobs are so big I had to buy a ton of new bras. I figured I needed to change my diet but I don't even eat as much I used too and I am twice as big as I was. My skin is also getting super dry. I'm getting this taking out as soon as possible because the mood swings are scaring my parents and friends."


"Great medication. My pressure prior to using Tribenzor averaged 160-170 / 90-95.  It is now averaging about 130/75. I have been taking it for just over a month.  Minimal side effects, mostly slight dizzy spells when getting up too quickly.  I previously used many combinations of individual pills with mostly negative results. I highly recommend this combination all in one pill."


"Excellent blood panels following regular monthly injections.  I’ve been on it for 24 months with the past 8 months presenting with lower back/ side pain strong burning sensation I mistook for lower back strain. Icing gave no relief so I stopped for 6 weeks and back pain subsided.  I recently took another injection and 2 days later my lower back pain has returned along with strong burning pain in my right thigh down to my kneecap very strong stinging sensation. Very disappointing. Doc states he may try me on another alternative therapy and stop Repatha ."


"Started Strattera treatment two months ago and it has been amazing. I can focus like a normal person (25 years old, 82 kg), without the need of glancing at my phone every two minutes. I could even listen to people and not having the need of interrupting them as always. I had some side effects (dry mouth, if I wake up too fast I get dizzy, difficulties to pee sometimes, sometimes erections are difficult to keep) but I can live with them since they not always happen. I can have orgasms like normal and I sleep like a baby since I take it. Everything went better but honestly, like every drug for ADHD, it's better to make short pauses to evaluate whether you need to change or suspend the treatment. I really recommend it."


"I take Topamax daily and Imitrex injections as needed.  My Imitrex injections weren't working for me so my doctor prescribed Fioricet and it takes care of my headaches almost immediately."


"I developed severe akathisia (restlessness) while taking this medication. I had a difficult time sitting in one place for more than a few minutes and it was absolutely exhausting. I also developed insomnia and TD (tardive dyskinesia) and altogether I would say this medication was very difficult to tolerate. I was happy to be taken off of it."


"I've been taking this for approximately 6 years.  Started with 10mg, then 20mg, then 40mg...
I'm at a point where I know it helps me but the side effects are increasing and I'm not sure if I should lower dosage or up it.
I also take Xanax up to three times a day."


"I have to say this drug did more harm then good and my body is very dependent on it. In only a year span I started having serious weight and back issues. I have never had any issues with my back but all of a sudden my bones started to get brittle. Then the disc herniations started happening, and like a domino effect entire spine was damaged. I see along of info on children or babies effected with their spine but apparently it can do the same for a grown adult. I was put on this med for anxiety and what my dr thought was bp. Turns out as time goes by dr lowers my depakote and cAme to the conclusion I do not have bp. Great.. Damage done.. Abnormal EEG. , spine damage, and severe chemical dependency .. Lost my hair , my looks, weight ."


"I can't take it on an empty stomach. I have to take it every four hours. Makes me sleepy. My dentist prescribed this for me yesterday."


"I was put on antibiotics for a UTI and noticed that the frequency and urgency went away but that I was still having urethral burning. My friend told me she had the same thing and that it was a YI. Desperate to stop the burning I went out and got the monistat one day thinking it would be nice to get it over with. I just woke up at 3:00am with severe itching and burning of my vagina. I would take a UTI over this. I just went pee to try and get some out but omg it's like fire ants are in my pants. I won't be sleeping tonight and I really hope it works. I am so glad I am not the only one who experienced this because I was scared! I would recommend going to your doctor and trying the oral 1-2 doses of fluconazole instead."


"I've been on the patch for almost 5 years now and it's amazing. I tried the pill before but always forgot to take it, the patch is perfect since you change it weekly. I haven't noticed any side effects whatsoever, the only downside I ever remember is the first couple months it was really annoying and itchy, but now I never even notice it. And sometimes it starts to peel off in the shower, but in the time I've been on it I've only had patches fall completely off twice, so overall this thing is an effective lifesaver. It has never failed me."


"Have had atrial fibrillation for 25 years.  Tried a number a medicines and was on amiodarone for a few years but had to stop. Decided to give Rythmol a try, and have used it for more than 15 years.  Have not had a noticeable attack of atrial fibrillation for many years, although I did land in emergency for another arrhythmia last year.  This has been a life saver for me.  Supply is getting to be an issue though."


"I've had mirena for over a month (inserted 7 weeks ago). I was worried about insertion, but honestly did not feel a thing. I spotted for about a month, 10 of those days I needed more than a panty liner. Since then spotting has stopped and husband cannot feel strings at all."


"I was on this pill for 3 months and I decided to switch because I kept getting breakthrough bleeding and headaches. I did not experience any changes in breast size like some other people are claiming to get, I also did not experience any weight change. I did always feel lazy/tired and my hair seemed to be falling out. On a good note, it seemed to help with my acne and didn't kill my sex drive. Oh, and I didn't get pregnant."


"I suffered all my life from severe anxiety. Finally at 40 I found a Doctor who gave me alprazolam. I could not leave the house without it and I did go on for 40 years suffering. I have been taking it daily for 10 years now and I often wonder if I could stop but I also know my quality of life and my heart (according to my Doctor) would be a problem."


"Reading these comments are what kept me so calm ..and I promised myself if it works I will write a comment to ease the mind of others the way my mind was eased ......first of all ladies please calm down ...if u took the pill when u were suppose to u will be OK......sooo...on September 3rd it was the last day of my period my Flo was light and I decide to have sex we used protection anywho the condom slipped off and he ejaculated in me ...SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE .....this was at 1:18am in the morning I bought the pill and took at 10am ...a few days later I had some dark spotting and I took 5 pregnancy tests all negative as I went to take another my period came 10-23-16 I've never been so happy to menstrate in my life ..."


"With Lutera I had a good experience. I had light but regular periods. My only complaint was I got horrible headaches right before my period and during my period. My cramps were tolerable if at all. I did not notice any weight gain and my moods were pretty regular. I only switched to something different because the headaches were too much and I got a new doctor and she said that there were too much hormones in this and lowered my dose of estrogen with a different birth control."


"I find that Excedrin does not do a great job for treating my osteoarthritis pain. It does a fantastic job with headaches, so I use it for headaches primarily."


"I was terrified of flying and my doctor prescribed me Ativan a day before my flight and 1 hour before my flight.  It works perfect for me.  Since then I don't have any panic/anxiety attack.  I enjoy every single trip I have now."


"I was on Nexplanon for precisely 3 months. I got it out yesterday and switched immediately. I wanted it to work so badly but with the severe vaginal dryness and painful intercourse, I decided it just wasn't worth it. I was on a combined pill Chateal before this for 3 years. I never had the dryness problem on Chateal. Nexplanon was wonderful for my energy level, state of mind and NO periods at all! For me though, I had to have it taken out because continual painful intercourse and vag dryness for 3 months was not acceptable. I believe my body needs a combined pill, a little estrogen to help me stay wet. Now I'm on a lower dose combined pill, Aubra."


"Alprazolam for me is an excellent medication. I have ADHD and am 47 years old. A professional in business and have a somewhat stressful life, like many people. Having gone through anxiety attacks, I found this medicine to be perfect to calm my mental state in 20-30 minutes after taking. A small dosage usually does what is needed, 1/2 of a 0.25 mg tablet. Once every 4 hours 3 times a day for 2-4 days, don't take it as a quick fix, anxiety can bounce right back unexpectedly. Keep a note pad with things to do and tell your doctor if you need more than one full 0.25 mg tablet dosage, as using it in larger amount can cause dependency."


"Got prescribed Zoloft after my 20 year relationship ended after my ex husband became addicted to meth. I was very depressed and couldn't control my thoughts about the situation, I had a hard time sleeping, zoning out, focusing, and adjusting to my normal everyday life. I started on 25 mg for about 3 weeks then increased to 50 mg. I've been on 50mg for a couple months and feel so much better. I can focus on my life again and never break down crying anymore etc. I had no side effects besides loose stool here and there. I like how there were no real side effects for me and it did what I was seeking. I would recommend to try Zoloft before other medications. I will not increase my dosage."


"I have gotten my nexplanon in the middle of march and have gotten it removed thursday. It is effective of not getting you pregnant but the symptoms are not worth it i was thrpwing up,dizzy, having hot flashes, bad ass stomach pains and back pains very far more worst than having another baby. This was my first time receiving any borth control and will be the last cause of this have me feeling like this aint no telling what the other ones will do to me ! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BIRTH CONTROL TO ANYONE!"


"My doctor instructed me to take 4 pills at once. Six hours later I had a small bowel movement. I did not have any cramping. I'm still waiting and hoping for another bowel movement."


"I was diagnosed with a disorder that essentially makes me never feel full after eating and always hungry. I am a very healthy eater. High protein, lots of veggies, some fruit, huge water drinker, no sugar and alcohol on occasion. Despite the good eating and the consistent activity of being a mom of 3 kids, I am about 70 pounds overweight.

The first day of taking this medication, I did not feel hungry all day long. I actually had to remind myself to eat for the first time in my life. Since this is week one, I can't report on weight loss.

So far I am having a pretty bad headache that is consistent. I'm also having a few strange hot flashes. However, I'm sleeping better.

I have to agree that the cost is outrageous. Time will tell. "


"I had a great experience with this antidepressant. I am 18 and I've been on it for four years. I forgot to take it today for the first time in years. I've been crying and shaking all day because my body doesn't know how to function without it. Needless to say, I need it to get through every day life. It's worked so well for so long. I can't see myself getting off of it any time soon."


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


"I have been taking this medication for about a year.  I started off with 0.5 mg.  I was still having some evening anxiety so I asked to be moved to 1 mg dosage.  I still had occasional anxiety in the evenings, so I asked to be moved to 1-2 mg dosage.  I find that moving up to a 2 mg dosage causes me some drowsy issues and I am currently tweaking it to where I need it. My anxiety is like nothing I have ever seen or heard anyone experience.  I know there are other people out there that have the same issues.  I think it helps stabilize my highs and lows.  I am more a bipolar type 2 person, which means my depressions are slight and my hypo-mania is somewhat great because I feel I can take on the world."


"I started this a week ago because I was having incredibly intense cramps and nausea every time I needed to poop. I experienced massive diarrhea about an hour after I took it. I have other digestive issues, including Gastroparesis, GERD, and kidney problems, so I'm used to these issues. So I continued to take it and deal with the fallout diarrhea. Yesterday, I had the best day I've had in months. When I took the linzess, I didn't have the diarrhea and in fact had a normal day! I think this stuff might be effective if you can get past the initial diarrhea part and let it work for a week or so. I'm a little nervous about reports that it stops working after a month, but I'm going to see what happens."


"Helps reduce the amount of pain a great deal, without the drugged out effect."


"I started using Tretinoin cream in August 2016 and I would like to say that it really saved my skin. I never really used to get acne but in March 2016 my skin took a turn for the worse. I started to develop acne on my chin and it moved to my cheeks. I had red bumps under the skin that would never come to a head. My dermatologist prescribed tretinoin 0.25% and my skin started to clear up within 2 months of using it. I will say that it does take time but it does get better. I still use it every night before bed. I'm working on clearing up some darker spots on my skin but overall skin is so much better."


"I'm coming off the depo soon, hoping the withdrawal symptoms aren't as bad as I heard. Initially the shot made me bleed for the first shot, 3 months, then it abruptly stopped. If I didn't get the shot right away, it caused some pretty awful mood swings if I didn't get it the first day possible. Lost a bit of weight in the breast area, went down a bra size due to the shot. Otherwise, no significant weight gain. No periods is a big plus! But mood swings are pretty bad."


"My son started nightly injections of Tev-Tropin just 5 weeks ago after being diagnosed with a growth deficiency. He is almost 13 years old. We measured this morning and he has growth 3/4 of an inch!"


"Great after 6 wks."


"I've been on this for about a year and a half. I like it, my periods are regular, I hardly ever get cramps anymore. But, ever since I've been on this, I have urinary tract infections all the time, they keep coming back."


"Great pill.  It really works well."


"Throughout half of my whole life I have been plagued with chronic constipation, and recently it was very bad. My entire large intestine was full of waste and was in so much pain I lost over a week of work! I took the medicine last night, and ended up falling asleep with no results and I was scared it wasn't going to work on me. Next thing I know I went to the bathroom to go do #1, and ended up very surprised by doing #2, 3, 4, & 5! Lol, it may be disgusting to some, but this medicine is definitely AWE-some.... it relieved my pain and possibly saved me from being fired."


"I always see such dramatic reviews about birth control, most of the time negative experiences. This pill is overall great, for me, this is the third brand I've changed to within this past year and the only complaint I have about it is that ever since I started this pill, I feel like I've lost a lot more hair. My hair is much thinner than it has ever been. Besides hair loss/thinning, this pill worked amazing compared the previous two I was on. This pill gave me no weight gain or loss, no breakouts, no abnormal symptoms. I even get my period when I'm supposed to + it lighten my period a lot! I would totally recommend this if you don't have a family genetic of hair loss :)"


"For the first time in my life I feel normal. Dec 2011 I has gastric sleeve surgery. (Due to pcos and being pre diabetic ) Going in I weighed 352. I lost nearly 100#s. Over the past few years I've gained 70 back. I work on the road and had no willpower when it came to coworkers stopping for fast food. Saying no is easy now. I'm unsure how much I've lost as my scale is broke, but I'm back in my "skinny jeans" (snug but I couldn't come close to clasping them prior to saxenda. I pretty much force every meal down, and actually have to count calories to ensure I'm getting enough! My main side effect has been nausea. Eatting a few bites feeling like I ate a buffet."


"I have been using Ambien CR for 3 years. I love it. I make sure to take it on an empty stomach and in 20-30 minutes I am asleep.  The only things I would warn about is: make sure you have at least 8 hours of sleep time, it doesn't work well if you eat before taking the pill, and I have done some things I have no memory of doing. My husband has tried Ambien CR and said it doesn't work on him. I would recommend Ambien CR to anyone who has trouble falling and staying asleep."


"I have needed to get my four wisdom teeth pulled out for 2 years now. And just on this medication until surgery. My  mandible which is my lower jaw and gums are very swollen and infected not so much  pain in my upper areas in my mouth. My dentist prescribed me Tylenol #3 with codeine and antibiotics . Tylenol #3 is a joke it does not help with my pain at all it just makes me very drowsy. When I do rest the pain is still severe."


"It is the only stuff that works for me."


"Did 2.5 mg/day for 1 week, moved to 5 mg after that. After 10 days, developed mild ringing in ears and a few other mild symptoms. Stopped Cialis. Too late, damage already done to hair cells in cochlea (inner ear). Then did Prednisone (5 days at 30 mg, then 5 days at 15 mg), which seems to have helped the ringing in the ears. After 6 weeks of no Cialis I then started again but this 2nd round had NO side effects at all and ringing in ears seems to be diminishing. Been on 5 mg again now for 3 weeks, all ok, very good positive effects (but ringing hasn't completely gone). My drug plan pays 100% luckily as long as I buy it in 90 day supply ($450) to incur only 1 pharma dispensing fee."


"Completely amazing. This product really works if you're like me really worried about going out because of excessive sweating. This product is for you, I only use this once and the next day it stung but I was completely dry not a single drop of sweat so the pros far out weigh the cons the pain and the cost are worth the payoff. Would recommend this to anyone. I am using extra strength there is mild pain but works for me there's also a mild version. Give it a try."


"I was on Lexapro for 6 years before it started to poop out. Besides panic disorder, I have some OCD and I am scared of taken medicine. So, when the doctor wanted me to try Celexa it took three months of therapy and hitting rock bottom before I took it. Well, 5 weeks later things are great. Virtually no panic attacks and it has reduce to obsessive compulsive disorder habits to a minimum. I did have loss of sex drive for the first three weeks, but I am back to normal now and my husband is happy. I was also very scared of gaining more weight. I gained 45 lbs on Lexapro but so far on Celexa I have lost 8 lbs. I hope this medicine never poops out on me."


"Epiduo makes my skin more oily then it actually is, I'm not getting dry flakey skin just terrible oily skin.Im still using it every night for the last 6 months but I do still get normal acne, so not much has changed."


"I've  had sleep disruption for many years. I took Ambien for years, now Lunesta. Gradually reduced from 3 mg to 0 mg, with zero problems.  My mind was clearer. With new severe stress & sleep disruptions again, recently went back on Lunesta. Started with 1 mg, then 2 then 3. Trouble is, now still waking up after about 4 hours, then waking and sleeping throughout the next 4 hours. I also use Belleruth Naperstacks "Sleep"  guided imagery CD to fall asleep and her "General Wellness" $ "Stress and Anxiety" in early morning or Jon Kabat Zinn's "Body Scan" during those 4 hours when my sleep is intermittent. I'm finding that I am sleepy and tired when I get out of bed now at 3 mg & feel overly medicated, yet it isn't working well after 4 hours."


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

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


"I am 27, have had acne starting in the 6th grade. Some products in the past have helped but Aczone has cleared me right up! This product has given me self esteem that I never remember having in my life."


"Over the last 4yrs ever since having my nexaplon implant I have had serious mental and physical health problems and it's completely affected my life and everything in it. The pain is unbearable sometimes, it says it's does stop your periods but to not have one for nearly 5yrs can't be healthy. My depression and anxiety have gone through the roof and I'm always tired but can't sleep. It has gotten to the point where I'm ready to cut my arm off but I didn't believe that something so little that is supposed to help you could cause so many life changing problems! I would not recommend this birth control to anyone I'm 21, nearly 22 and this has ruined my life and changed me as a person completely I don't ever feel happy or like myself!"


"Day 4 on 5 mg for MDD, no stomach issues or major side effects, I will update in a few days."


"I have had awful foot pain for over 10 years and have tried many medicines.  My Doctor suggested Mobic and it did wonders for my pain. I have been on it 5 days now and can not believe the difference it has made.  I can now walk without shuffling around because of pain. Side effects are mild for now. I have light headache from time to time and ear pressure. Hope that improves. I take 7.5 twice a day since 15 seemed to make side effects worse. A nice surprise everytime I get up to walk and feel little or no pain."


"I began to have breakouts after the mastectomies...had to take hormonal pills.  I tried so many things, went to dermotologist and tried stuff.  What really worked was a skin regimen and taking a low does antibiotic (doxycycline)  Then my daughter told me about Differin.  I have been on this for almost 3 months.  There has been some good clearing up, dry patches where the blemishes were.  My face is very oily and so this didn't bother me.  I never moisturize because of the oil..all of them make my skin break out even more.  Expect to have some breakouts as you get used to this.  I am almost down to the wire, things are clearing up slowly but surely.  Medicare doesn't not cover lots of meds like this so OTC"


"Only positive: I have PCOS & this pill cleared my acne up nicely. This pill made me feel like an absolute raging psycho. I am angry, irritable, depressed, tired, and just absolutely so miserable on this pill. I've also gained about 15 pounds (lots in my stomach) in the last 7 months since I started it, and have developed melasma. I've been on numerous birth control pills and this is THE WORST. Changing pills ASAP. I'm tired of feeling this awful. Hope your experience is better if you're reading this."


"I love Aleve!  I've been lifting weights for more than 20 years and started having tendonitis in my elbows a few years ago.  Often times all I'd have to do is take Aleve and rest for a day or two and the pain would go away.  This time I'm having to lay off the heavy weights (for good) and wear the brace, but use Aleve as well.  The combination of the two is really working!  I started out taking it twice a day, but have gone down to once a day.  I plan to do that for a week or two."


"It gave me a brownish dishcharge that would not go away until I pulled it out for good.  It also did not stay flush  to my cervix as I expected it would."


"Im a 29 yr old female. I've used minocycline on and off since I was 22. I have stopped a few times to see if I am over my acne. Antibiotics DO NOT CURE ACNE they just keep it at bay. Most people will grow out of acne. Some have it for a few years, some have it for several, some their whole lives. Everyone is different.
I don't experience any bad side effects while on this drug. I start on 2×50mg a day and then eventually 2-3pills a week.
All the roughness/white heads around my nose clears up and is smooth. All my cystic acne vanishes. My skin is less greasy. I then have a chance to repair my skin of any scarring. Professional facials are good for this.
It takes me about a month to see results.
Full price AU$16.Consession $5 for 1month supply."


"It wasn't a bad birth control other than the mood swing and anxiety. 6 months into it I started to have a really hard time breathing and chest pain and swelling of arms and legs. I checked out side effects and these are some of the more severe ones. I took myself off of it a week ago, and I feel so much better, I'm less anxious and moody and the pain and swelling."


"After hearing about the horror stories, I was hesitant to try Accutane. I tried Minocycline (Solodyn), Doryx (Doxycycline), and Bactrim DS. The only thing that was pretty good at clearing was Bactrim DS. Bactrim worked best, but was not working anymore. I had no choice but to go with Accutane. It was a little drying with the eyes initially and my lips still get dry. What people fail to mention is that your body adjusts to the side effects and that you won't have an initial breakout if you start low. I started at 40mg. Going to 60mg this month (my second month). Don't forget, Accutane takes between 2-4 months to see clearing. Good luck! :)"


"It's a 10 plus for me, lasted right at 2 hours and my wife loved it. All the other stuff really didn't do much of anything, also made it noticeably bigger."


"I've been on Gianvi for about three months now. It's been amazing for my period which was heavy, long, and always a miserable experience. I bled for a whole month when I first started taking it, but my doctor said that was normal...so I loved what it did for my period. What I did not love is that I am so hungry all the time on this pill, and although I haven't gone too overboard with eating, I've gained 10 pounds since starting the pill. It has done nothing to help my acne, it has made me lazy, and my mood swings are out of control...I'll become a sobbing mess out of nowhere."


"Hydroxyzine helps with my symptoms of anxiety. Its helping me keep my mind focused and not dwell over bad situations that have happened in my life and worry so much."


"I had Implanon put in nearly two months ago; was period free for two weeks then have been bleeding ever since. I was told to expect unpredictable and irregular bleeding but it's been the opposite; just constant and annoying. My sex drive is fine but as a single person it makes it rather difficult to meet people when you're literally bleeding all the time! Went back to the doctors who has prescribed me Levelin on top to level out the bleeding, which sort of defeated the purpose of getting the Implanon in the first place so I wouldn't have to take the pill. The reason I've given it 3 stars is that despite the cost for pads, tampons and additional medications it's far less than that of having a baby, which it has been effective in preventing!"


"I have been using Maxalt for about 5 plus years now.   I have tried other migraine meds but Maxalt is the only one that helps the migraine pain and allows me to function - before this med.  I would have to take my usual trip to the emergency room for treatment and a few time was actually hospitalized for the pain and dehydration.  It was terrible, but now i can depend on Maxalt - it is a miracle."


"Worked almost right away, walked down stairs without pain."


"I just inserted the cream. It feels like I am being burned from the inside. WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. I am heading over to CVS tomorrow to return this. As soon it was inserted I wanted to cry. I wanted to get it all out. If it feels any worse I am going to urgent care. This company needs to have a class action law suit against it. This product should not be INSERTED into people. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!'"


"So far so good..thrilled to be feeling human again. Only one migraine in the past month vs. the NASTY 3-4/week minimum that were taking over my life. Side effects: first couple days, blood pressure and pulse dropped too low, but have normalized to normal-low range. Now insomnia and nightmares are the biggest problems. I read that propranolol reduces melatonin production, am hopeful taking a small 1/2-1mg dose a couple hours before bed will help. Note:I don't recommend taking any more than this!  A few months ago, I couldn't figure out why I was so tired--my mom suggested I stop taking the 3mg I had been taking right before bed--magically I was no longer falling asleep at work. "


"Having chronic pain in my whole spine they gave me the Fentanyl patch they started low dosage then they moved me up to 75mg. At this time in my life I was also had hot flashes. I seen no warnings nothing about that. Long story short after the second day I started withdrawing and that people is not a pretty site. I had no idea what was going on. So I never went back on it. There should be a warning to all doctors and pharmacies. I had to pull it off the internet to show my pharmacy."


"My eyes were very dry and ichy and I had only put one drop in each eye and could fill a difference. I'm on day two and see improvement in my eyes thanks."


"This has worked great for me.  I've been on it for 5 months and my A1C is 6.1 (down from 7.2).  It is expensive, but if you go to their website, you can sign up for a card that will pay your copay for 1 year (up to $3900).  Basically, I get the medication for free for a year."


"I have taken this pill for 7 years and my gyno recommended a lower dose pill (Yaz).  Yasmin has done wonders for PCOS symptoms of acne, weight gain and overall mood issues.  I am 45 years old and do not smoke.  Overall, it has been an amazing pill."


"Lyrica made me a zombie. I could just sit and flip channels on the TV or stare off into space. If it helped the neuropathy I did not notice. Stopped taking it after one week and the Doctor put me back on Neurontin. Neurontin does not help so much with the pain in my feet and legs but at least I can function."


"I'm five feet and was weighing in at 152lb. I tried diet and exercise but I wasn't losing any weight. I went to a clinic and got this medicine and just four weeks later I'm down to 139.
The clinic did tell me that the medicine works best the first few months and then hardly at all. For me that's just fine bc I'm not wanting to lose more than 30 pounds anyway."


"I have had my mirena for about a week and a half and I love it. Not having to rememeber the pill is 1000000% better.

However, the insertion process was very painful. I have never had a child before which also makes its very uncomfortable. When she touched the back wall of my uterus it was literally one of the most uncomfortable painful cramps ever. It only took about 2 minutes though. After the procedure I had extreme and intense cramping for 5 hours after. the next 5 days I had on and of cramps that were uncomfortable but tolerable. I highly recommend the mirena iud because it is effective and a bit of pain for five years of protection is completely worth it. Don't let the pain keep your from getting this amazing form of birth control!"


"I've been on Celexa now for 4 weeks and have noticed improvement in my mood/stress and anxiety. I would recommend to take it at night as that way you won't feel as tired when you get up and you aren't aware of other symptoms as much. I take it an hour before I go to bed and I can start to feel tired so it does help with sleep. I started at 10 now at 20 and I think I'll see if I can go to 25mg. I still take the clonazepam at night too though I was taking 1 pill I cut back to 1/2 a pill as in the morning I was really groggy. In the end you do have to work with this medication. It's not for everyone, you will have side effects that for the most part will go away and like any other medicine it's trial and error."


"Nausea, migraines, upset stomach. In general I'm very unhappy. Living in hell. Nine pills to go before placebo and I will continue just because don't want to get pregnant."


"This is my second round of trying. I have had a really hard time getting that second pill into my daily schedule as I don't eat in the morning and taking this on an empty stomach renders me nauseous to the point of vomiting.  This stuff DOES WORK-- if you can grit your teeth and make it through the nausea."


"Wasn't too bad to insert. First 3 months I had continuous spotting. Period stopped after 3 months. At first it felt fine.. Developed GAD and anxiety disorders half a year in and started crying for no reason at everything and had to see a therapist twice. I thought it was just me going crazy until a year passed and I got my period all of a sudden. My monthly periods then would last 10-12 days and hurt like hell. Cramping was UNBEARABLE. I never cramped on BC pills or off BC pills, but all the time on Mirena. I was depressed, tired, gained 10lb and was always hungry, anxious 24/7, and sensitive to every little thing. Removed my IUD after a year and a half of use and switched back to BC. VERY disappointed with this- I had such high hopes"


"Best medication ever."


"Before Sprintec, I would have my period every 6 months. Two times a year. It scared me so I went to my gyno doctor and She told me I wasn't ovulating so I was put on medication. My first month was horrible. I started my period on the very last day of my 4th week. The cramps were unbearable. I didn't sleep for that whole week. I've been gaining weight and its so hard to lose weight. I get bad chest pains and feel faint sometimes. Its only been a month and a half though. No acne though."


"I've used Tegretol for the last three years and it's still working like it did in the beginning.  My moods have been so much better over this time and I have a
lot better outlook now versus the time before I started taking this medicine.  I love these good moods I stay in throughout the day."


"Lexapro has literally saved my life! Before starting the medication, I was terribly depressed & suicidal.  I finally got the courage, with the help of my husband to talk to my physician.  I initially began on the 10mg dosage. The first week was rough with bad headaches, nausea and extreme fatigue. By the second week, the only side affect I had was a little spaciness that I feel was from the fatigue that had continued.  However; at week 2, I felt so much better. Now after 2.5 months and moving to a 20mg dose, I have my life back! I haven't felt this much peace in years. I can sleep. I can laugh. I can smile.....and I can't imagine taking my own life.  Best of all: I can love others because I'm happy and at peace with myself. Worth it all!!!!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Had to take before my colonoscopy, and really had trouble keeping it down. I gagged and threw up more than I got down (or so it seemed), but it did begin to clean me out. Almost through the first course (started at 7:45pm and it's now 9:40pm), and I'm already dreading the second round that begins at 2:00am for my 7:15am appointment. Not looking forward to this again. Will ask for something different the next time. I would forego the colonoscopy just so I could skip the prep, but with pre-cancerous polips found three times in the past I can't skip having my yearly colonoscopy. God help me!"


"Do NOT take this medication at all costs!!! Ended up in the ER after 3 dosages. Doctor's can't tell what's going on wiht me. I'm going to see another doc this week to do more tests. I still feel very dizzy, weak, having heart palpitations, can't concentrate, anxious, depressed...I'm going crazy because of this stupid drug!!!!!!!!"


"My fianc"


"Excellent for Major Depressive Disorder, as well as some mixed anxiety disorders."


"I had the mirena placed at my 6 week postpartum visit in May 2014 after my second child at the age of 25. My husband and I knew our family was complete. I discussed birth control options with my obgyn - Mirena, Essure, and the pill. I opted for the mirena after asking yons of questions, which he was very honest and told me out of the 5 he puts in he might take 2 out, I knew that wasn't good odds but I will give it a try. He inserted it in no time with no pain. I have had it in for about 15 months now and absolutely love it. I haven't had any weight gain, no crazy hormones, no cramping, and best of all no spotting or periods since day 1. I hope my success continues like this for the next 4 years with it inserted."


"I have been struggling with pain killers for the last ten years (15-20 Lortab 10's/10 SOMAS per day), then after many attempts to stop, 7 Rehabs. I read about the Suboxone program on the internet. I found a clinic in my area that offered Suboxone and decided to try it.
 I started the program taking 2/8mg pills per day, and it is an absolute MIRACLE. I won't lie to you, the mental cravings are still with me, but with time they have gotten a lot better (and a support group will definitely help with that part, and changing the people you hang out, if that is a problem will be a major plus). PLEASE BELIEVE ME, YOU CAN GET YOUR LIFE BACK. It it is not easy, but with will power, you can do this. STICK WITH IT WORKS."


"I currently have been diagnosised with GERD, chronic gastritis, and esophagitis. I have been taking 2 Protonix 40 mg a for 2 years and started taking Zantac 150 mg twice a day work 2 months now. That is 4 pills daily. My Gastroenterologist put me on Kapidex for a month now. I have not had any problems so far. I cannot see inside my body to see if it works but hey if it can take me from 4 pills a day to only 1 I will take it. The only thing is the cost."


"I took the medicine in the morning. I can finally take a deep breath! I have had sinus congestion issues for years, and I wish I would have known about this product much sooner. Its awesome. I only took one pill and I am 6' 4" 270lbs and that seems to me fine for solid relief."


"I've been using linzess 290 for a couple of years off and on because if stops working after a couple of months. I started it again and I'm finishing up my 2nd bottle and nothing. No results whatsoever. I use enemas a couple times a week and all I can get out are hard, round, tiny, rock like poop is all I get. I don't know what else to do."


"Was treated for a urinary tract infection but I had no symptoms, so I really don't know if it actually helped. But I ended up with a yeast infection afterwards. Only took it for 3 days."


"I've been sick for 3 weeks and a doctor at an Emergency Med place prescribed this for my nagging cough. In the past when I've been sick with something like this I was prescribed a narcotic cough medicine which helped me get the sleep I need. I was hesitant to take a pill and came on this site. My own intuition was telling me NOT to take the pills. All of these negative reviews have helped me confirm what I already felt inside!"


"Love it. Girls Implanon is amazing.
Positives:
1. no pill phone alarms any more.
2. no worry for three years.
3. no period for 7 month yaaaaaaaaay (I had it inserted in June 2010).
4. I got nothing of the side effects they are talking about.
5. no more hormones, no more crying or mood swings.

I only got low libido, which is fine for me.
When I got it inserted, didn't feel a thing. It was smooth and easy.

But few hours after that I got worried because I could feel it, even without touching my arm. It got sore, no one could touch me there(but it was not bad at all)!

Now after 7 months I don't feel it, it's not itching."


"I have suffered from ADHD since childhood. After trying several medications, Ritalin is the only one that continues to work for me."


"As in any tropical country , shoes are a not a comfortable item to wear. The down side of that is your feet are exposed for knocks and scrapes. I have been using an Iodine type product in the past , My doctor in Australia prescribed Bactroban as cream for my condition...It has twice the recovery healing times as iodine , Would recommend it for your first aid pack."


"It takes about 2 weeks to feel Wellbutrin kick in and about a month for it to be full effect. I am on 300 mg a day and take it in the morning only. If you take it too late it will keep you awake. I am on other med for Bipolar that cause weight gain, but this med seems to be the opposite and has actually helped me lose weight. Sometimes the med "runs out" in the afternoon and you can kind of feel the let down. It works great for depression and would be good if used by itself for weight loss. Would recommend using it, but you have to be patient with it."


"I've been taking birth control for a few years now they had me on Previfem before but switched to Estarylla about a year ago saying it was the same thing I take the 0.25mgs. I suffer from manic depression, anxiety and insomnia so I never thought anything else was making it worse until just recently I thought about how the week of green pills that are non-hormonal maybe effecting my mood. The past year has been so bad for my mental and physical health due to intense fatigue, mood swings, anxiety over the smallest things and insomnia which then reacts to my body being tired and makes me restless. After reading how many reviews have the same pattern as my experience I'm going to set an appt. with my OBGYN asap and hopefully find a better option"


"I started Beyaz 2 years ago, then stopped it for about a year because I didn't need it (so I thought). I wasn't in any type of serious relationship when I stopped taking it then proceeded to end up in something serious. I decided to get back on it (3-4 months ago) and I truly love this pill. This go round I take it as directed, everyday on the same hour. I've missed one dosage and just doubled up the next day and started back my routine as directed. My periods weren't regular when I first started it, but continuing it and sticking with it and taking it as directed... they became regular. Not so heavy (sometimes have clots but I can handle that). I really recommend this pill. But take it like you're supposed to!  Also: no weight gain for me!"


"I am a 48 male in average shape however i do smoke alot and was having trouble maintaining an erection  spoke with my Dr and he gave a me sample pack of the 36 hour Cialis  took the first pill wednesday night and was good to go for the next 2 days took the 2nd pill Friday night I was having sex multiple times through Sun night.   the feeling of being ready and able to spontaneously perform multiple times over the course of several days was awesome The down side I did incurr the side effects of runny and stuffy nose as well as moderate head and muscle ache was not enough to discourage further useage my girlfriend who is 36 btw was very impressed it felt good to be young again.  I have a rx of Levitra but have yet to try it"


"Mom, 85, started using the Exelon Patch (13.9) about one year ago and it has made such a wonderful improvement in her mood, quality of life and cognitive ability.  It has given her back a life and provided the family quality time to enjoy her.  Before the patch, her memory was poor, she was agitated and continually negative, suspicious and lashing out at everyone.  Thanks to the Exelon patch, she's able to have a normal, peaceful life, without any type of side effects.  We feel very Blessed to have been told about the patch and I try to inform people with similar situations of the impact it has had on my mom."


"I had a traumatic injury to my neck and shoulders about 7 years ago and didn't have proper treatment to repair the injury, so now I have constant moderate-to-severe pain in my neck/shoulder/back. Norcos really help a lot, but, as others have said, they don't last very long. I have to take 1.5-2 10/325mg tablets every 4 hours (at the most).

WORST SIDE EFFECT: Constipation. By far. Since my back hurts all the time, the thought of going and playing sports is intimidating to say the least, so I don't exercise nearly as much as I should (I've gained 35 pounds since the accident and I'm 28 now).

Overall this is a great medicine and one I would recommend."


"Very good medicine. Helped me out of three days of non stop panic attacks. Went to the ER and the doctor wrote me a prescription."


"I am now more productive, NOT sleepy, and Happy! No more suicidal thoughts! I want to be involved in my family and their needs. I have been on 5 meds before Latuda, this has changed my life! I look forward to every next day."


"I GAINED 25 lbs in the 2 months I was on this pill. I also had no sex drive at all. My hubby is not liking that at all. My breast did go up and for me already being a full D was not good. I will be switching back to the ring! I hope the weight comes off fast!"


"It works fine on simple heartburns but not on complicated ones."


"I was prescribed Neurontin for anxiety and panic, but it made me a zombie.  I am now taking Lyrica and it is amazing!  No more anxiety or panic and my mood is greatly improved.  Neurontin was like whiskey hit hard and had "hangover", Lyrica is like a fine wine, subtle and mellow and doesn't have the zombie effect.  DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL WITH IT this was only a reference.  I am taking 75mg at night and 50 in the morning.  I also don't need the antidepressants anymore."


"I have been using this cream for over a year now and my spots have cleared, do still get the occasional one now and then but that's normal. Duac cream has reduced the darkness of my blackhead as well. I have also been noticing my skin has been quite red, so I've laid of the cream for a while and just been using a scrub before bed to see. Overall I would recommend this to anyone, but there are side effects if you are allergic to some of the products in it. Ask your doctor for more information. Hope this helped."


"I'm on my 2nd pack of Sprintec and the biggest side effect I have gotten is bad acne around my jaw line and chin, cystic acne.  I've had to use Proactive so it wouldn't get worse. More headaches and body pain. My period was a little heavier and more painful then when I was on Minastrin 24. My period came 2 days earlier then before. I'm not sure about weight gain yet but Minastrin was terrible, I gained about 15 pounds."


"this is a product that TRULY WORKS, I'm 58 years young and I have a a few dark spots on my cheek. After 2 weeks, all 3 spots were lighter, after 3 weeks they are nearly not noticeable. I'm on my 4th week and I couldn't love this product any more. One expensive tube will last several months and is worth every penny of it."


"I just started taking these pills on Jan. 4 2016 and I have nothing but energy after work. I am not back and forth to the vending machine. I usually stop at Wendys on my way home and ever since I took these pills I forgot Wendys was even there. I do experience dry mouth but that just keep you drinking water. Last night was probably the worst sleep I've had in about 6 months man it was horrible. I think after this first week is over I will be used to this side effect.  So far great pill I'm like never hungry I have energy I am at the gym yesterday I just did a quick cardio workout at home but I will up date you guys in about a month. Thank You"


"Been on Straterra for about a month now. Only thing I've noticed is that it gives me heart burn. I've also become more agitated. Has not helped with focus at all.

Still daydream. Still very forgetful. This medication really sucks for me. I know alot of Dr's hate giving stimulant drugs for ADHD but it's what helps me. I personally think if you are gonna take a non-stimulant drug you might as well take all-natural meds."


"After hearing a lot of good things about Nuvaring I've decided to give it a try. At first I have to say I absolutely loved it. No side effects, easy to use and helped with period pain. Now I am 4 months in and I lost appetite (which all in all is not a bad thing), I have terrible mood swings and got extremely teary and depressed. I cry approx 70% of the day. I constantly feel very sad and poorly, lost my enthusiasm for life and feel worthless, hopeless. Last time I felt this way was 16 years ago when I was on the pill, I stopped it immediately after I have realised I was capable of harming myself. I've only today stopped NR and hopefully will start feeling better soon."


"I started using Epiduo and it was working perfectly. Then one day around my eyebrows started to hurt then the next day the skin was peeling. It wasn't sunburn for sure because there was no sunshine for days. I put the lotion on it and it stung. Three days later my skin is still peeling, it hurts when I touch it, and my acne is back."


"I have been on Qsymia for about 2 weeks on the low dose 3.75. I was a little nervous about taking this after reading the reviews but so far I haven't had very many side effects. Just had problems sleeping a little other than that everything was fine. I'm not sure if I lost anything I haven't weighed myself yet. I start my higher dosage tomorrow and will update everyone next week."


"2.5 mg Abilify and 50 mg Sertraline are magic combinations for my depression.

other SSRI and monotherapy of Sertraline don't work but my psychiatrist adds 2.5 mg Abilify and now I can smile again!"


"I was prescribed Sertraline by my doctor as I am suffering situational depression. I am on day 4 (4th tablet). I don’t feel any different - I was told 4-6 weeks it takes to feel any different. The side affects are awful but manageable. The worse bit is feeling sick, nausea. The only way to describe it is similar to hunger pain, your stomach constantly churns and it feels very uncomfortable, this has put me off a lot to continue. I feel like it’s all I can concentrate on. I decided that taking it before bed was best as my stomach was affecting my work. I also found that it gives you head aches & feeling zombie like. Very sleepy and tired... so I’ve spent most of the week yawning at work. I haven’t had any further symptoms yet."


"I was put on this birth control to prevent ovarian cysts, as my last one wasn't effective resulting in my ovary twisting. In the beginning I felt the same but suddenly began having extreme nausea. Ive been nauseous for about 4 days and it just has not let up. The pill also has been affecting my appetite immensely resulting in weight loss, which I'm not complaining about. So far I've had no issues with ovarian cysts, but it is early."
