"I just got Paragard inserted today - was absolutely NOT terrible like everyone says. I will say I did a few things that may or may not have helped: I took Misoprostol vaginally (prescription from my doctor) to help soften my cervix 3-4 hours prior to my appointment, I had a 60-minute holistic massage 2 hours prior to my appointment (long story - didn't actually plan this due to my insertion or anything - just happened), and then I took 800mg of Ibuprofen an hour prior to my appointment. I definitely felt what was happening but it was NOT the pain level that everyone says - I'd say a 3 or 4 out of 10 and just for about 20-30 seconds. Definitely worth it for 10 years of not having to worry about getting pregnant or having hormones in my body!"


"I've been taking Adderall for 3 years and have experienced extreme nervousness, loss of appetite, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, dizziness etc. Adderall is not for all."


"I started a month ago and my viral load went from 2 million to being undetected already . This is truly a great drug . Have not had any major side effects . I have more energy now than I have had in over 20 years. This may not be advertised heavily like Harvoni but this works just as good if not better when you read all the side effects of Harvoni . Give it a shot I'm surprised it has worked so fast ."


Amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / olmesartan

"Had tried several bp medications, started Tribenzor and in one day my blood pressure was at normal range. 105/75. I've been on this for 8 months. Very little side effects most annoying would be fatigue. Give it time to work and  adjust to your system. Dosage can always be adjusted. I'm a female, 63 yrs old. I might mention that it's kinda pricey, 75 dollars for 90 days and that's with insurance. If I use the coupon, it's still $25 copay a month."


"Neupro seems inappropriate for warm-hot climates, especially in high humidity. My experience in Sydney, Australia, is that I must replace patches 2-3 times/day. Frequently, I'm unaware that the patch has fallen off so for a  large part of the day this medication is useless. Last year during a Pacific cruise, I used so many patches that doctors on board agreed that I'd overdosed. Advice contained with the medication tells us not to "store" Neupro at temperatures exceeding 25 degrees centigrade nor leave it in a damp place. How is that possible when the outside temperature is around 40 degrees centigrade with high humidity?"


"Only downside - the dry mouth but I drink 8-10 glasses of water now."


"Was using Ocella for a year and gained 10 pounds. Switched to Yasmin, big difference losing weight and my hunger attacks stopped. Recommend it."


"The pill really works when you have the right dosage."


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


"I had been on the brand name Nuerontin for my complex partial seizure disorder, since 1994. When the generic came out, I began taking it. I began experiencing menopause symptoms within two months. I was 36 years old at that time. Three months ago my neurologist put me back on the name brand. My symptoms have diminished greatly, but not completely. I think my condition is unique in that I took this medication while still in child bearing age. When my age increased, something about the generic formulations bio-availability actually induced menopause symptoms. I also know that the name brand is working as evidenced by weight gain which can be brought back down with exercise. I had lost weight, sleep, memory and sanity while on the generic."


"Today marks a month and a week since I've been on this pill.  I was on it before and had no problems so when I found out I had ovarian cysts my dr. Put me back on it.  My periods have been not as painful and I'm pretty sure my cysts are gone. (Although I haven't had another ultrasound) but I have been nauseous every single damn day.  My breasts hurt and I always feel sick.  I'm not sure the side effects outweigh the benefits.  I'll give it a couple more weeks to let my body adjust to the hormones and update,  but this is awful."


"Takes care of my chronic knee pain. Due to cancer, I am not a candidate for a replacement at this time, though I am need of them. Tramadol keeps me from suffering. I usually take 2 daily, prescription is for 4 daily. I up it to three if I have a day where I am very active. Everything has side effects and I can live with Tramadol. I like that I can drive and go to work while taking it."


"I want to share my experience with this drug because I truly believe it's of utter importance.

 My first BC was Depo PROVERA. I bled right through this, and yes it's common for the first year, also lighter periods. But mine never went away, then brown bleeding. I was switched to the implant, for other reasons, and the same problem still occurred. Then I was put on BC pills to control the bleeding process. All in all, I was backing up my uterine wall with more blood every time I had a period.

 Depo Lupron was injected on Jan 18 I bled out all my old blood in a week. I have not had a period or brown bleeding since. My last shot was given March 18. So far, 0 breakthrough bleeding. I love Depo Lupron"


"I have been living with anxiety for years and was prescribed escitalopram. I started with 5mg for a month and increased to 10mg. The side effects were not nice, particularly for about a month after I increased the dosage. I was nauseous, constantly tired but couldn't sleep, racing thoughts but foggy brain, increased anxiety and also not caring. But I have now been on 10mg for 2.5months and I feel great! I have confidence I never knew I had, everyday isn't a struggle, I don't overthink everything I say or do, my mind is so much clearer. Things feel effortless and everyone is saying how great I look. I found a combination of escitalopram and counselling has worked wonders for me. Stay with it, its totally worth it. I'm glad I did :)"


"I've been on Traodone since 2005 100mg at bedtime. I need to find something else!  I was also on Lyrica, Trazodone causes me to sleepwalk and I apparently go in the kitchen every night and "graze"! I have gained 45lbs and I am so frustrated!
I get maybe 3 hours sleep and by the time the weekend hits I so tired that I have no energy to do anything!"


"After back to back traumatic events in late 2015 I found myself struggling with PTSD, severe depression, panic attacks and anxiety. I was hesitate on starting this medication due to the side effects. I started off at 25 mg and gradually increased to 100mg. Initial side effects included loss of appetite, insomnia, increased anxiety and diaherra. It was a struggle to make it through the side effects but completely worth it! I noticed the full effect after 6 weeks and the side effects subsided after a month. I've never felt so great and haven't had a panic attack in over two months. This medication along with cognitive therapy has helped and made my life 100% better. If you're reading this and hesitate about starting this medication, don't be."


"I have taken Paquenil for rheumatoid arthritis about 6 months now 200mg once a day. I cannot stress what a miracle this medicine has been for me. It was so good that some days I forgot I had rheumatoid arthritis altogether. No pains at all. The only drawback was that I was losing my hair and it became became very dry and brittle. Being a woman that scared me so I quit the medication only to have the pains come back again. I spoke to my doctor and he said try taking it 3 times a week instead of every day to see if it cuts down on the hair loss.  What good is a full head of hair if you are stuck in the house and in constant pain. I'll take loosing a few locks to be able to live my life pain free."


"Very nauseous, hope hair does not fall out"


"I have had case of severe flu a few times before but this time I went straight to the doctor to to try Tamiflu.  While the flu usually made me miserable and feverish for 4 days and weak for a few days more, I felt pretty good after about a 1 1/2 days and was ready for work on the 3rd day.  I will always go for the Tamiflu in the future.  In my case, when my face feels flushed, I have a lack of appetite, ache in my neck and back and a slight fever, it is time to act.  You need to start Tamilfu as soon as you see the first signs.  It is great!"


"I took a single dose Diflucan a few days ago after developing an agonizing yeast infection, thanks to round of antibiotics, compiled with an allergic reaction to a product I had used called Yeastaway (never again!). Once the Diflucan kicked in- boy, did it work- it was like night and day. By the hour, the swelling, itching, and discharge was going down. I went from pure itching hell (tearing apart the freezer looking for something to ease the agony) the night before to a calm, restful night the following day. I've never noticed any negative physical side effects.

My only frustration was that this took 2.5 solid days to start working... topical creams made me itch more, and I started to wonder if the Diflucan would ever work at all."


"Worth every penny. Cough was gone all day."


"I started Qsymia on December 1, 2015 and so far I am down 25 pounds. This medication has curbed my appetite immensely and has completely changed the way I look at food. Now I eat to live, I don't live to eat. I do have dry mouth and some occasional tingling in my feet, but nothing too bothersome. I also get some constipation, but I have GI issues from multiple auto-immune diseases, so that side effect kind of counteracts that in my favor. The only complaint is that my insurance doesn't cover it, so my current dosage runs about $130 per month; however, that a small price to pay to lose the weight. The weight loss is strictly the change in diet so far, as I really haven't gotten back to an exercise regimen yet."


"Taking the generic brand of Lamisil

All 10  toes infected with toenail fungus more than 8yrs .

Some extremely thick others discolored and some even cracked

1st month  discoloration was the first thing to Clear up also any athletes foot cleared up immediately

2nd month  The thickness in nails has started to disappear

3rd month  have noticed the bottom half of the nails have come in clear on a few of the nails

 Note dr. recommended after showering to clean out the bottom of the toenails  then let them dry fully then file them down slightly  this has really improved the look of my toenails

My insurance  covered the cost of the generic brand which is less than five dollars a month"


"I decided to visit a psychiatrist for the first time 2 weeks ago because I have been dealing with anxiety and mild depression for almost 2 years. He prescribed me sertraline 50mg. I didn't start until a week later because I was scared (anxiety) about taking medicine for the first time and the possible consequences so I kept reading about it especially in this site. So after taking the medication for a week (first 5 days I only took half a pill per day) I can only say that it's been a positive experience. My anxiety is almost gone and I feel much happier and calmed. I can study and work without feeling anxious and fearful or depressed feeling sad.Cons: thirsty all the time; dry mouth. During the first 5 days only I felt sleepy and a little bit numb."


"I wanted to get on here to write my review, because these reviews are what helped me make the decision to go with Cialis. 28 years old with erectile dysfunction, and I must say ...Wow!. I love this medicine. I have tried Viagra. It works; however, it just didn't make me feel right. I got 20mg of Cialis, and split them in half. It works for 36 hours, easy. Expensive, but well worth it. It has given me my confidence back.

Everyone is different, but it is absolutely worth a try. I have more sex now than I have ever had. My wife certainly appreciates it.

Oh, and 3 pills cost me about $100 (split them in half and you have 6). The cost will vary with everyone, but that is a general ball park for me."


"The worst birth control option available. I had Nexplanon in my arm for six month, and those six months were a nightmare. I suffered terrible anxiety. I also started having problems with lactose temporarily and questioned if I was lactose intolerant. I would randomly cry when I was alone. It sparked adult acne. I had trouble breathing sometimes. Honestly, it was just a horrible, confusing experience. Sure, it is effective in the sense that it prevents pregnancy, but there are better options than Nexplanon."


"When used for colds, Actifed works well for drying up post nasal drip that causes near constant coughing, especially at night.  It does cause drowsiness but not a problem for night time use.   I can get a nearly full night of rest.  However, with subsequent use on following nights, Actifed's effectiveness lasts only half as long."


"The medicine did exactly what it was supposed to do--erased my pain when I had a wisdom tooth extraction. There were side effects, but they were minimal. The medicine made me itchy, somewhat numb, and a little bit sleepy, but it was nothing that could not be dealt with easily."


"This has worked very well for me for both chronic headaches and migraines.  Never had a single side effect. I get injections about 2-4 times a year, when needed."


"Great product. Works great for the pain and better than any other patches."


"I've been taking Azurette 28's since August 7th 2016 and have been experiencing cramps since the 2nd or 3rd day. They go from being mild with little irritation to being severe. I'm having mood swings as well. I've even noticed that I have gained weight. I had a bad migraine headache over the weekend, i felt so terrible I was throwing up and I couldn't lay down because my entire skull felt like it was shattering into a million little pieces. I almost had my husband take me to the emergency room. I was on Lutera a few years ago and I didn't experience any of these symptoms. I'm going to ask my doctor to switch me to that. I would never recommend Azurette to anyone. I only wanted to regain control over my periods otherwise I wouldn't be on bc."


"My doctor noticed that the other medication that I was on was not working well and had me start Brintellix (10 mg per day) from samples he had. There was a direct transition from the other medicine to this one - no tapering off or anything like that. After just a few days, the medicine and I apparently agreed that it would work for me. The side effects that I have are mild headache and sometimes loose stool - to be polite. I'm excited about this one. Big differences in a short time."


"Using the (Storebrand) of shampoo with 1%s selenium sulfide. every nite, apply to affected areas with scrubber spongy thing - leave on for 10 minutes. rinse well. within 2 days spots were 50% gone, within 4 days - all gone. completely! Just as precaution, continued this procedure every nite before bed for 12 days straight. Simply amazing - completely gone! another thing to do: after rinsing areas, let them air dry. do not pat dry."


"I love this birth control! I've been using it for 13 months now and it is amazing, I have always been horrible with remembering pills and I didn't want the implant, also I needed my period regulated. This does all of those things. I have not tried taking condoms out of my sexual experiences since I am only 18 and I do not want to risk ANYTHING, but I would definitely recommend this form of birth control to a teenager, or someone who forgets pills and wants something painless."


"I am 21 years old and have always been morbidly overweight. I was diagnosed with PCOS 2 months ago when I was 3 weeks late With a negative pregnancy test. I have the normal signs of acne, overweight, hair on my face, and I now take 1500 MG of metformin everyday. I do not have a gall bladder so the diarrhea does not bother me, but the nausea is dreadful. I will be so hungry to the point of starving and when I try to eat I'm so sick to my stomach I can't touch food. I also have had a headache everyday for the last 3 weeks. I have absolutely no sex drive and my self esteem is shot. Feeling very depressed lately...do not know if the metformin is affecting me differently because of my bipolar disorder, but I cannot feel like this forever."


"I was given propofol yesterday for upper endoscopy. I am a extremely anxious person and am terrified of medical procedures. This drug was amazing and I had no issues had a great experience. This drug wore off extremely quickly. No side effects. Don't let your anxiety get in the way of your life! It will wreck you!"


"Paragard was the first BC ever used at 27yrs old, after my second child. The first 3-6 months were horrible heavy periods but they adjusted to heavy bleeding the first 2 days of my period...
Everything was going great until 2 yrs later, now 29 out of no where I started feeling heart palpitations, trouble breathing, sweating. I figured it was high blood pressure and scheduled an appointment right away. I'm perfectly healthy but was asked to get lab work done and also asked about my birth control....Doctor told me that IUD's cause heart palpitations.
Lab work came back with mild Anemia, so now I'm really bummed out because I no longer feel safe with these BC options, but also after doing some research, heart palpitations may persist after removal."


"I had a terrible experience on this drug. It resulted in me having regular panic attacks, heart palpitations, caused me to become trapped in negative state and paranoid. I'm not one who reviews meds very often but this medication proved to be very dangerous for me. I spent a lot of time in a state of paranoia. My Dr did not listen to me when I kept stating it wasn't right for me. In the end I reduced my dose ( I don't condone this though ) and have been off it for around 4 months now. I can honestly say I'm doing much better , able to function, don't stay on states of paranoia etc. I'm also able to make clear choices etc."


"I have suffered from IBS for several years now, and it is ruining my life. I have tried countless medicines to treat the symptoms, tried diet modifications, everything imaginable. I'm only 22 years old and it breaks my heart to know that my quality of life is so affected by this, and that there IS a cure for me, ZELNORM...but I can't have it! The 1/2 year that I was on Zelnorm was the best year of my life. I had energy, felt good enough to get out of the house and participate in life. There is nothing that works like Zelnorm and I wish someone could bring it back, or at least give all of us sufferers some answers. Walk a mile in our shoes."


"I took this prep to the T. And did not do the job. The two ducolax I took the evening before had more of an effect on me than this prep.
I am miserable right now because I have two more days of agony, thanks prepopik"


"I have been a type one diabetic for 21 years.  I'm 30 and have trouble getting and keeping an erection.  This medication is working well in making me confident and able to preform. 10 mg does the job."


"I was diagnosed with Crohns Disease a while ago and was hurting non stop. I lost over 15 pounds in 2 weeks. After about 4 months of being on Cimzia I don't even worry about my stomach. Maintain a good diet, take your vitamins, and drink plenty of water. Cimzia seems like a miracle drug."


"Waste of time!!! Was on this pill for a month religiously... Still got pregnant!! Doesn't do what indicates DONT USE THIS!!"


"The only medicine on the market that truly worked for me.  I suffered a gunshot wound to the head that penetrated through the brain and hit the spinal cord. Lyrica is the only medicine that controls the pain to a near 0/10. Unbelievable medicine for nerve pain without all the horrible side effects of Neurontin."


"I have brain tumors and Fioricet works wonders. It makes the pain go away in about an hour. I couldn't live without this wonder drug."


"Took 10mg samples in the AM, nausea and dizziness big problem 3rd and 4th day. Stopped for 2 days. Then took 1/2 pill in the evening around 8PM. A little nausea, sleep was affected but adjusting. But I believe it is what I need. I left the house 3 times on the weekend, answered my phone, went into 6 stores and most important, while home didn't lay in bed."


"Compared to the positive effects, a couple/small negatives not worth mentioning. I was close to killing myself. I'd a sub-total colectomy and the nurse gave me a nerve entrapment. Such pain, gas pain and explosive pooping. MSContin & MSIR almost eliminated the pain and controlled my bowel wonderfully. "


"Not perfect but pretty close. Switched from Paxil(no emotions)-> Wellbutrin(aka severe anorexia)->Effexor. Basically all medications were pretty decent at anxiety coverage. I found Paxil to be the best without thinking of anything but anxiety attacks. Wellbutrin to be the least effective. Effexor was somewhere in the middle while still letting me enjoy life with an occasional anxiety attack. Since I've been on Effexor I've had maybe 3-4 small anxiety attacks in the span of 2-3 years."


"Had to take it in conjunction with Seroquel for it to work. Currently on 1g of Depakote ER per day and 50mg of Seroquel per night. With the two mood stabilizers, I am able to take 20mg of Dexedrine ER for my ADHD to focus on work/school without spinning myself into a hypomanic episode. Keep experimenting, until you find what works. I know it can be discouraging, but you'll get there eventually."


"I've been using flecainide for 2 years.  I was having a-fib and couldn't sleep through the night.  Daytime was not as pronounced, but still there.  Since starting flecainide the only episode I've had was once when I greatly overexerted myself.  Other than that, not once."


"This helped me a lot. "


"Had propofol last year for an upper GI, woke up screaming crying but didn't feel terrible. However, a few days later I had gastrointestinal issues like never before and anxiety, panic, and what felt like I was having a heart attack. This happened twice and I went to two different ERs. Just anxiety. Just had a D&C yesterday and they used Versed, propofol, and fentanyl. Felt worse coming out of this due to it being heavier sleep but was "off" the rest of the day and this morning. Today I felt pretty good but started getting the anxiety panic chest thing again. I think it's the propofol that has some sort of side effect. Feels like a lighter version of last year. Scary stuff. I hope it doesn't continue!"


"I've been a Type I diabetic for 14 years and just recently (within the past month) made the switch from Lantus to Tresiba. I have had constant headaches in the afternoons since switching and today is the second time the pen has just stopped working. I will be partially through the injection when the pen stops dispersing the insulin - you can press on the plunger but nothing comes out and the numbers do not go down. Not having insulin when your life depends on it is the scariest feeling in the world."


"Background info: I've suffered with Rosacea (subtype 2) mildly for 3 years, but this time last year it got much worse. I had red papules on one cheek which spread across my face. I was prescribed metronidazole gel which may have helped a little, but it was still really bad. I then tried azelaic acid, which didn't work. Then I read about ivermectin (Soolantra) online, and requested it from my GP (in the UK). They agreed to prescribe it.
Results: To say I'm happy with the cream is an understatement. The papules are gone! My pores are still larger than before I had Rosacea, and I have a little bit of redness, but I can deal with those by using makeup. I'm just so please the bumps have gone. I would definitely recommend this cream!"

"I am currently on a number of medications (Effexor, Lexapro, Klonopin, Clomipramine) for my obsessive compulsive disorder and my psychiatrist recently added Abilify.  I feel like a cloud has been lifted.  While I still have OCD thoughts, they no longer "stick" in my brain.  They just seem to easily flow in and out.  I feel like it is my miracle pill.

I feel like this , at 2 mg, has given me the ability to prevent my OCD from controlling me."


"Prescribed Advair Diskus (250/50) twice a day. My blood pressure was 130/80 when I started medicine, which is about the highest if has ever been. I was not suppose to go back to the doctor for 30 days. But luckily last night I had my blood pressure checked, it was 151/98-I was shocked! I have only been on the medicine 15 days. Advair probably helped me through my upper respiratory problems, but I think I should have been warned about this side effect."


"I have been taking Loestrin for over 2 years now. I started taking when I was 18 because my periods made me miserable! Cramps for days, heavy bleeding, and it lasted longer than 7 days or sometimes my period didn't come at all. Another reason is I have had the same sexual partner for 4 years, and we have unprotected sex often. I have read a lot of the reviews and I can agree the first month was terrible, I hated it. But I gave it a chance and LOVE it. My periods are now maybe 2 days if I get one at all and very light. I have had no side effects!"


"Trazodone has taken away my fibromyalgia almost entirely.  I started at 50 mg/night and gradually over the 12 years got up to 150 mg.

My one problem with it had been an addictive appetite for sugar, which has now gone away completely by taking Pristiq as my anti-depressant! When I cut the dose in half, I got terrible fibromyalgia back. It also greatly helps my sleep."


"I've had excessive sweating in my arm pits since middle school. I was always the girl who couldn't wear long sleeves or T-shirts. I'd even sweat in tank top during winter! So horrible and so embarrassing! I am 21 now and over a year ago my doctor prescribed Drysol and it has worked miracles for me. I can wear anything I want and in any color because I don't even have one drop of sweat. I'm so thankful and I hope that anyone with excessive sweating can hear about Drysol sooner than later for the same help!"


"Turns out im in that small percentage of people that is allergic to nystatin. I would reccomend applying to a small part of your skin first to see if you are allergic! I never ever want to go through that amount of pain again!"


"This is the only OTC treatment I use for yeast infections. I usually buy the Equate brand from Walmart. I have not experienced any side effects."


"I had been on Diltiazem CR (controlled release) 240mg per day, took it every morning faithfully. I am now in Spain where they do not have the controlled release but gave me Diltiazem regular release 60mg. The first day I took all four at once in the morning and it dragged me down so far I about collapsed. Now, I'm trying to regulate it, taking one 60mg in the morning, then one at noon, then one about 4pm, then one about 8pm.

I have heard that some blood pressure medicines shouldn't be taken before one goes to bed. Does anyone know about this one?"


"I've been using this gel for probably about 2 or 3 years now. I started getting acne in around 6th grade where as I didn't start my period until 9th grade. I've never had SEVERE acne, there's just always been at least a couple zits on my face for as long as I can remember. I had no significant peeling or dryness when I started using differin, and I also had no immediate results. Slowly over time, however, my acne is becoming less severe and less often. Maybe it's because of the differin, maybe it's because I'm growing out of it. I did stop using it last summer as a test and my skin got worse and worse for the entire month I stopped using it and it took a solid 3-4 months after I started using it again for my skin to return back to normal."


"Worked very well. By the second-third pill it was feeling better. But Doctor gave me the DS 2x a day and I think its a bit much. By 4th day I felt really horrible. Tired, foggy headed, and lethargic towards the evening. Not going to take anymore pills. Did clear up the issue tho!"


"I have been only taking Lexapro 10mg for less than a week....The first couple of days I felt great but now I am starting to feel some side effects. It is making me zone out and feel "blah" and very tired. My doctor assured me that I may feel this way for a month or so then it should ease off. I am hoping so but it has helped with my depression and anxiety."


"This is the only medicine that gave me relief from migraines.  I've taken Imitrex, Toradol and Tylenol, nothing works for me accept Fioricet! It prevented me from going to ER visits for my migraines."


"I took Abilify for a few months and then my doctor took me off of it because I gained 50 pounds. As soon as I stopped taking it- the weight just melted off."


"I have been taking Savella for about 4 weeks, 2 weeks at 50mg morning and night and have been having lots of side effects, almost flu like symptoms. Weakness, shakes, lightheadedness, cold, then hot. I have been reading lots of reviews, because I didn't think it could be this medicine, but I guess it can be. I work graveyards and I think I might try 50 mg in the morning and 25 mg at night and go from there. I was on Lyrica for 9 yrs and it was so expensive and the Savella is half the copay Lyrica was. I'm not ready to give up on it yet, but I am so hot all the time, but the weight gain from Lyrica was the reason I decided to try Savella since my insurance will cover now. I'm hoping for the best. Good Luck."


"My insurance switched me over to Xulane from Ortho Evra and at first it was going really well. I am now 4 months in and it's terrible. I have the worst mood swings, low libido, I've gained 10 pounds and I get a rash around the application area. I have a outline of the patch on my hip that has been there for 3 months.... I would not recommend this to anyone. While it does it's job, keeping me not pregnant, the side effects aren't worth it. Back to the pill I guess..."


"I suffered from depression for 4 years and started taking Citalopram 6 months back. I've never felt better. I could finally rid myself of the voices in my head and feel positive about my myself and people around me. This has improved my relationship with my husband greatly.

Side effects: I started clenching my jaw while sleeping and used to wake up with a jaw ache. It continued for about 3 months but luckily has gone away.

The more serious side effect is the dip in sex drive. It has gone away completely and I don't feel ANYTIHNG. I can't reach orgasm, don't get wet and don't get aroused at all. I am hoping it will come back after I stop taking it.

Overall I am very happy with the medicine for turning my life around."


"I have been suffering major depression for over 10 years and Zoloft took the edge off but I was still extremely depressed. I had mood swings and disorganized thinking, speech problems by being unable to articulate what I mean, paranoia and so forth.
I was originally diagnosed with bipolar disorder but the diagnoses didn't fit. I also was diagnosed with Aspergers. I took a personality and general mental health test by a professional psychologist and the results were tallied by a computer. I have schizoaffective disorder.
I showed my results to my psychiatrist and she's prescribed invega. My depression is gone, I laugh and tell jokes, I can think clearly now and my relationship with my husband has never been better. Thank you!"


"I like it."


"Long story short, I am terrified of medication , the first time I took Ativan I had already got myself all worked up about having to take it that when I did I went into full blown panic attack. It was not because of this med , it was my own doing. The second and third time I took it, it worked well . Allowed me to get through the entire day like myself again. Even took the depression away that I have caused from anxiety . I have only taken it 3 times in the last month since was prescribed it . Since I've read how addicting this can be I have been very careful about taking it only when I really need it."


"I have been suffering from endometriosis since I was 12. Unbelievable pain, heavy bleeding, vomiting, the works. Most of the time, I could barely walk during my menstrual sycle. My old ob doc recommended this medicine when I was 18 and she gave me a sample. It relieved my cramping so much and helped with my other symptoms. The only downside to this medication is that it is very expensive and most insurance companies only approve the generic, which I cannot take."


"I'm 21 years old and have been on every acne medication under the sun. 6 years ago I went on Accutane for 3 months and it worked wonders. Completely clear and amazing skin. Being a teenager and going on Accutane meant that there was a good chance my acne would come back - well, it did (about a year ago). Not terribly, but enough to really bother me. My lovely dermatologist put me on doxycycline and it is fantastic! I've seen an improvement within 3 days of use. Take it with food and you will not get sick! I'm not talking about a small snack - take it with a substantial meal! I know that everyone is different, but if you want clear skin than you need to stick it out -- Don't get discouraged!"


"Constipation is my number one problem. I drink 8oz of prune juice every other day and the problem is 100% solved."


"I was diagnosed with breast cancer (stage 2) - underwent 6 months of chemo and 6 weeks radiation.  My hair regrowth was pretty quick but began thinning significantly after about a year of Tamoxifen usage (could see my scalp pretty clearly in the front and on top of my head).  My doctor switched me to Femara about 2 months ago - side effects include lots of hot flashes (about 6-10 daily) and weight gain which I am combating by working out everyday and cutting my calories. I am prayerful that I don't experience anymore hair loss or the joint pain that I keep reading about. Everyone hang in there!"


"As part of my pre-op, I was instructed to use from neck to toes, avoiding mucous membranes & genital area.  Three hours later my nose began to really itch.  Have seasonal allergies so didn't think too much about it. Through pre- op the itching got worse.  When I came out of surgery itching was much worse & upper lip swollen. By the time I got home, itching, swelling worse and everywhere I had used the chlorhexidine wash was red and felt like I had a bad sunburn.  Took Benadryl which reduced symptoms. Had to take it for 3 days to stop symptoms from coming back. "


"I'm been on Seroquel since been diagnosed (now 18 months). Started taking 50g but now I'm on 100g. I've got to the point on this medication that the side effects are too much. Constantly tired. Feel very vague. My memory is terrible. I'm starting to forget about things I've already done. Still very paranoid. Also I'm still having panic attacks. So for me, it's time to move on and try something new (Olanzapine)."


"Have been on this for over a month and each increase by my doctor provides no relief whatsoever. The last increase has resulted in severe dizziness, light-headedness, memory loss and forgetfulness, fatigue, racing thoughts during sleep, inability to sleep more than a few hours, and most importantly, no effect on the severe pain from postherpetic neuralgia.  I will not be accepting another increase from the doctor, the side effects are intolerable, not to mention the side effects of weaning off this ineffective drug that I have yet to suffer."


"Have used Chlor-Trimeton for many years, 4 mg twice a day, to control allergic reactions to pollen.  After trying all other OTC antihistamines, Chlor-Trimeton does the job best, and it's a single-ingredient medicine (not a combination of unnecessary ingredients)."


"I've been on it for a number of years and it appears to be helpful."


"Started 6/22/16 weight 165lbs so far slight nausea but able to continue, my goal is 135"


"I have suffered with migraines from the age of 13. I used to get them as often as once a week lasting anywhere from three to five days. I have tried so many other medications to attempt to prevent my monster migraines but nothing worked. Been to chiropractors and tried massage therapy.  Countless visits to the ER and walk in clinics for injections of Demerol and Phenergan. Then I began seeing this new neurologist and he started me on Trokendi XR. I have been on it for 3 months and only experienced just one migraine which was my fault, I ate too much chocolate during the holidays, other than that Finally relief! For me Trokendi XR has been an answered prayer. Have not noticed any major side effects yet I take it at night, a little drowsiness."


"I've been getting Kenalog shots for my alopecia once a month for five months now....Very little hair regrowth, the hair that has grown back is grey now, and the alopecia continues to spread.  I've lost 40% of my beard over the past few months and nothing is helping, including Kenalog."


"I have been using this for a year while regularly having sex and never got pregnant. I think this is a great pill, it worked wonders for my sex drive as well.  However, it does cause me to spot the week before my period most months and not all cramping is gone.  Emotionally it has not affected me at all!"


"Had to quit taking this BC.

Horrible mood swings, huge painful breasts and nipples, yeast infection non stop,  low libido, UTI, can't sleep, headaches, gained 10 lbs.

just awful."


"Pros: Don't have to remember to take this and it doesn't make me feel like crap.
Cons: I AM UNCONTROLLABLE! The anxiety is terrible and I'm CONSTANTLY angry, always unintentionally and it sucks. It's ruining me.

I was really sick for the better part of the year, so when I went in to find a fix, this is one of the things I was offered. I read the negative reviews and chose to ignore them and I was happy I did. I have just about NO cramping every month and I don't spend two days in bed feeling awful. I want to stick with this, but I don't want it to kill me and I've been so hostile over such stupid little things and I'm starting to wonder if this is worth the trouble."


"I have been taking Monodox now for 2 weeks and have seen amazing results. While it's not completely clear yet I have seen fast results the first week my face was really dried out but after a while it got better. I do feel sick to my stomach when I take it though, especially in the morning so I take it around noon and I have to eat something. But the results are worth it. The dermatologist also prescribed me with a morning cream called Benzaclin and a night cream Atralin. I believe together the creams and medicine are clearing my skin. After having it since I was 13 it would be nice to have clear skin."


"What can I say, dx with mild ADD too (who isn't anymore)  But this taken with Effexor XR has helped very much with apathy, motivation, energy and enjoyment of life!  Dr.'s reluctantly Rx this bc it is Schedule 2 substance and is mostly Rx'd for ADD/ADHD but it has a profound effect in boosting the effects of an antidepressant.  Taken alone for depression?  Not really a good idea bc it wears off fast.  I take 20-30 mg a day (TID)"


"I had been using my fast acting inhaler up to 4 times daily, that is before I started using Symbicort.  Shortly after using Symbicort for the first time, I noticed the pain in my chest was finally gone.  No more painful inflammation in my lungs.  I'm no longer producing that crappy mucus, and I have not had an asthma attack in the 6 months that I have been using Symbicort.  The only real side effect I have experienced was the sensation of my own heartbeat when using it for the first time, and sometimes I get a head rush when I take it.  Other than that, I'm happy to have my life back. I can finally go to bed knowing I can sleep through the night without the fear of waking to an attack.  I love this stuff."


"After going through hell using anti depressants I finally went to a specialist for anxiety. She did a DNA test to see what drugs would best work for me. I take one Clonazepam along with a Gabapentin in the am and then a second Gabapentin in the afternoon. It truly has been a life saver for me when nothing else worked for PSTD/anxiety. No side effects whatsoever. Be very careful with alcohol. Instead of three beers make it one."


"Veramyst is more effective and has less side effects than anything else I've ever tried for allergic rhinitis."


"I woke up this past Thursday with food poisoning.  I was going to the doctor for some MRI results and told him that someone had given me leftover food from a picnic and there were a lot of mushrooms!  More than one type too.  I had vomiting and nausea so he gave me a shot of Zofran.  I started to feel less nauseas immediately after the injection.  I bought gatorade on the advise of the doctor.  Then I slept quite a few hours.  By Friday I was feeling 90% better.  I did some research and found out I had all the symptoms of salmonella mushroom poisoning."


"Began having thyroid issues years ago which in turn caused a progressive weight gain.  I do not have heart problems, diabetes (showing some tendencies) or any severe diseases but have become very obese.  My endocrinologist suggested Belviq as a way to help me lose weight and regain some energy & mobility and to prevent any development of full blown diabetes.  I began back in November and as of yesterday I have lost 19 pounds - this was through Thanksgiving & Christmas.  The first two weeks I experienced some dizziness but it was mild.  I also have experienced "very active" dreams nightly but not enough to prevent rest.  The weight loss has been wonderful and my clothes are fitting more comfortably.  It has been an answer to prayer!"


"I started on 20 mg of Latuda for bipolar and anxiety disorder. I felt the same as I always do during the first week of starting latuda. Then I upped it to 40 mg a week later and about an hour later I felt super tired , dizzy , confused , slow heart beat , and UN aware of what was going on around me. And to make it all worse I had trouble sleeping. But I felt so weak like I needed to sleep but couldn't. I'm unsure whether I should continue or discontinue it. Overall rating on this drug would be a 5. Those were terrible side effects and they hit me hard."


"The medication itself works well enough, but my main issue with this medication is that the price keeps going up. I am using the savings program and they keep lowering the amount the plan covers. When I started this medication I only paid around $50 a month. Now after a few months I am paying over $90 a month. It's ridiculous they keep lowering the amount their "savings" plan covers. For this reason I will be switching to something else. I have several friends & acquaintances that also use Contrave (some at my recommendation) and their costs also went drastically up. Almost all of them will be consulting their doctors to get on something else. It's not worth to start taking something only to have the costs skyrocket to make more money."


"My daughter is 8 years old now. She has suffered from bed wetting for the past 2 years. We have tried everything under the sun to help with the problem. She was so embarrassed when she would go to sleep-overs and had to wear a "pull-up". I felt awful for her. I took her to the doctor and he referred her to a urologist soon after. Her urologist put her on DDAVP almost 3 weeks ago.  She takes 0.2 DDAVP every night about an hour before she goes to bed.  We have been dry every since, except the first night of taking the DDAVP. I believe this medicine is a God send. My daughter is so happy, she is no longer embarrassed about wetting. We went yesterday for a follow up with the Doctor, and everything is going great."


"Hi all, I just wanted to share my experience with the copper IUD insertion procedure as I know many women (myself included) are very anxious and turned off by the procedure. The actual insertion did not hurt at all, there was cramping that hurt when she measures my cervix which was painful but lasted all of 10 seconds. The whole procedure took 5 minutes or less! I would highly recommend getting someone to drive you to the doctors/hospital as I felt very faint and dizzy afterwards and thought I qas going to vomit, I've had it in 12hrs now and the cramping was severe afterwards (heat pack and naprogesic work a treat!) but it's worn now, I've also been spotting too but the doctor said it should go in a couple of days. Hope this helps!"


"Mirena keeps me mostly off period (no bleeding), my BMI fine and my abs fit. Most of the user feedback I have heard on private clinic are recommending the product highly.

The side effects outside regular intercourse and balancing male fluids cause involuntary  burning sensations in all mucous membrane (plural - mucosae or mucosas; singular - mucosa; Latin - tunica mucosa). Eyeballs have a burning sensation in their sockets and throat is in pain. Skin yellows. It also smells like a hormonal burn-out most of the time unattended. Involuntary facial hair on has grown.

Men are reluctant to understand the product, its cause and the benefit women still are and will be able to find in this miraculous product (I might end up buying again.)"


"I have had Nexplanon for 4 or 5 months now. The first week I was very moody. But my body adjusted quickly. My periods lasted two weeks for the first two months. I would spot the first week than have a heavy flow the next. I didn't have a period the third month. And this month it was a normal week long period. That doesn't bother me much though. The only downfall for me is that I have put on quite a bit of weight since I got this birth control. I am now bigger than I was while pregnant. And my breasts have gone up from a large B/small C to a large C. Other than the weight gain I have no problems with the Nexplanon Implant."


"I am an early 60's male with chronic neck pain as result of too many skiing accidents over many years. Normal pain killers like Aspirin or Naprosan wouldn't even touch the pain however l found Paracetamol / Codeine 500mg / 30mg worked wonders. I take 1 tablet at first and if pain too intense increase to 2 tablets. Because of stomach upsets and slight dizziness l limit myself to 4 tablets daily. Talking to my GP about situation and the fact that l did not want to stay long-term on the Paracetamol / Codeine and he suggested acupuncture which l started to have 2 times a week (10 very sharp but small needles) over a period of 6 weeks and, as result l have only had 1 of my tablets for the last fortnight which is a wonderful turn-around for me."


"I have chronic back pain.  I have degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis.  The pain is unbearable at times.  My doctor prescribed tramadol for me.  It has been a life saver for me.  This drug has given my life back.  It takes my pain away for a few hours so I can do some house cleaning.  It is amazing.  Please always  follow your doctor's directions when taking this drug."


"Was on Levothyroxine and I noticed some improvement, but still felt symptoms.  We increased the dosage and noticed improvement, but still not quite right.  Over time my symptoms returned and I was continually complaining that my dosage was not right, even though my numbers were within normal limits.  My doctor recommended the switch to armour.  The first week I wanted to die, I couldn't stay awake, I had constant headaches, I was irritable. After 5 days, I was ready to call the doctor and get taken off...and then MAGIC happened happened. Week 2 I had energy, I started to sleep better, no headaches.  So far so good.  I am hopeful!"


"I started Phentermine 37.5 on 5/27/15. I did cut my intake tremendously thanks to the phentermine. I will be honest my physical activity could have been a lot more I worked out only periodically(hardly ever). As of 6/25/15 I had lost 13lbs. I started at 302 5'8 now I'm 289. This has really motivated me to work harder during the second month of my prescription. If these pills could help me lose 13 lbs with hardly any physical activity what could they do if I got off my butt! Feeling really excited and optimistic."


"Due to financial burden with the office visit copays ,I had no alternative other than to receive the three weeks of Orthovics all in one day for both knees ,I'm in escrutiating pain !,Has anyone experience the same when all administereD not only was it just one knee it was both !! How long does this pressure, stiffness last. Overall I can't feel any difference yet on my bone on bone pain .Hoping I can say later down the road that it has helped .I almost wanted to pass out I had received numbing med and spray as well it was brutal! !"


"Perfect spray. Works great for me during flu. I use it once at night only before sleeping for 7 nights so that my nose stays normal during sleep. Had no side effects so far. Thanks"


"I got it on 5/20/14-present . The  effectiveness is great. The 1st month was a 3 week light period and after that no period for 6 months but did get a light spotting period that lasted about 3 days the max. My side effects was I would get emotional and very sensative but I am not sure if its the implanon because either way I am a sensative person. I immediately gained 30 Lbs. in less than 4 months. That's a lot! Now I weight like 180 Lbs. Thats a lot for a 5'2 women thats 23 yrs. Old. I went to the GYM and did dieting during that time. But after going for 3 months , 6 times/week and 1 hr . I saw no results it was 176 and 180 like a yo-yo.

I was upset. Stoped going. Had low or no sex drive. Developed Hypothyroidism."


"I'm twenty years old and I've been on this birth control for over two years and have never had a problem with it. I've always had irregular periods and when I did have them I was in immense pain, but since I've been on the Depo shot I haven't had any spotting or a period and it's wonderful. First week or so I had mood swings but that was all. A+ in my book! Also, I haven't had any bone density issues."


"I'd been having the symptoms of what seemed to be an STD (foul smelling discharge - sometimes it would smell of fish and sometimes it would just smell, discolored discharged) so I go to the Gyn. and he automatically diagnoses it as a yeast infection which I was rejoiced that I was worried for nothing, I go home thinking that some Monistat will solve it - nope. I finally get around to buying the Terconazole not willing to waste money on anything else after trying everything, did the 3-day regime and I smell no more and discharge is normal!"


"I use the generic cialis from India.  Their is no difference from brand and generic from India. Save your money I buy all my meds from India. American drug prices are outragous."


"I have suffered from migraines for the last 22 years, have tried lots of things that do little to nothing. I started taking nortriptyline 10mg nightly as I was getting them daily, they slightly reduced to maybe a gap of 3 days. Still not good when your working so I got the dosage increased to 2 x 10mg at night. It has made a huge difference but I'm going through my script too quick so I've asked to have it increased to 1  x 25 mg as they only come in 10mg & 25mg. I feel so much better as I can now go over a week without a migraine which is like heaven having a normal life once again. Good luck everyone I fully recommend this medication"


"This healed my anxiety and deep depression and made me able to work, think, work out, enjoy my life, and recoup the losses caused by my illness.  My whole self got well, including physical ailments.  Had no difficulty tapering off when I was completely well."


"This medication didn't work at all.  20 mg did not make me sleepy; rather I was in a half sleep and it caused me to breathe shallow, I caught myself several times and had to rouse myself from the half-sleep."


"I was recently put on Adderall for ADD. I have suffered ever since I can remember with not being able to focus on anything, having a wandering mind, and doing very poorly in school. I began to just think school wasn't for me. I had heard many negatives on Adderall and that is why I never asked my doctor if it would be an option for me. He suggested I give it a try and now I am on 10 mg every day/as needed and I feel better than I have in years. It has helped my depression/anxiety as well. I am happy to learn now and attend school. Wonderful drug for me."


"10mg used to provide a pain free nights sleep. I have a pinched sciatic nerve.  After cortizone injection under general anesthetic I experienced cramps that disturbed my sleep.  This medicine is now giving me a good nights sleep and I wake refreshed in the morning."


"I started taking lorazapam (Adivan) when I was 16 (I'm 32 now) for panic attacks and anxiety, 2mg twice a day. They did work well but had a short half life. I had 3 grand mal seizures when I was trying to come off of them. I switched to klonopin 6 years ago because a new Dr said that they would keep me on a more even keel because of their longer half life and he was right!!  But even on klonopin, which ARE addictive, I had a grand mal seizure when trying to ween off.  So I just take my klonopin as directed, 1mg 3x a day and I feel normal.  Some people try to say that benzo's aren't addictive, but that's a lie.  So just be careful when u hear others say that they can take their medication only when they "need it"."


"It was great"


"I take four five milligram tablets whenever I am constipated and I couldn't be any happier with the results. The only things I suffer from with this medication are cramps (no way as bad as everyone else is making them out to be) and wind. If you want effective and fast results which are always guaranteed, I suggest you definitely try Dulcolax."


"I'm 30 and non-smoking. I took Loestrin for about 6 months, primarily for birth control. I didn't notice anything unusual for the first two months on this pill. The third month I began having violent mood swings and emotional breakdowns that were not triggered from outside issues. My period was almost non-existent; I would bleed when expected for about 2 days. Before Loestrin I had horrible cramps and while on Loestrin I had mild cramps. I regularly worked out and lost a lot of weight but I would BLOAT right around the week before my period and my weight would go up about 5 lbs. I lost my insurance, so along with financial issues as well as the mood swings, I stopped taking it. Breakouts were also an issue on my face and back."


"I was diagnosed with bipolar at 12. Been on probably every medicine out there. At 20 got pregnant with my baby girl, after having her at 21 had crazy panic attacks and anxiety never in my life have I had that. I started on 2mg of Xanax 3x a day felt so doped. Went to Klonopins and they have even stopped my bipolar meds CRAZY! IT WORKS WONDERS, BEEN ON FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. "


"Started taking 2.5 mg Zyprexia a day 3 days ago. For years have taken 60 mg Celexa, .5 mg Clonazepam, and ( .5 mg Xanax if I need for emergency panic attack) They worked well until 6 years ago, my husband died, a year later my dad died.Two years after my dad passed his wife died, then 4mo. later my son, who had Downs Syndrome died on the operating table. I was really going into a deep black hole by then but it just got worse. A friend of 25 yrs died of cancer not even a year after my son. I can really feel a difference in just 3 days. No crying so far, been outside and to the store without panic attacks. Sleep really well. So far eating hasn't been a problem, have lots of energy, and just feel better. Hoping for a new lease on life!"


"I have taken Latuda for about 2 weeks for Bipolar Depression. I also take Prozac and Depakote. I have never had a medicine work so quickly and dramatically. I can feel again...love for my family...optimism...although I am not sleeping as I did before. I have gone from 12-13 hours/night to 6-8 hours/night. I have had brief episodes of irritability but so far have been able to resolve them quickly. I feel better than I have in years."


"I've used monistat in the past. I get YI's after antibiotics. Normally it's such a relief to start the medication. This time I immediately felt like my vagina was on FIRE. Agony. I took out what I could and tried again with a generic 3 day cream and have relief. No pain. I think this was a bad batch bc this has never happened to me before and I always use the Monistat 1 day."


"I have used the patch for nearly 2 years, receiving it from Europe before it was released in the US. Quite honestly, it has been life altering. I am now able to complete tasks I was totally unable to do before. Now that it has been removed from the US market, it is like taking away the oxygen required to breath. Someone should do something to at least get the compassionate use thing going."


"Soooo, before nexplanon I had the implanon in for the full 3 years and LOVED it! :) absolutely no issues, never gained weight(ps I also rarely work out and my diet is not the best) and my periods have always been super light and on time every month, after my 3 years were up it was time to have it removed. So I chose to get the nexplanon inserted. The procedure was fast and not very painful, just some bruising. At first I did not get a period for 3 months and I did have some cramping and mood swings, but after 3 months my body adjusted to the new birth control, and I started getting a normal short period each month. :)

Also, my weight has pretty much stayed the same. And I plan on keeping until my 3 year mark is up! :)"


"I posted on this forum when I first started Lo Loestrin Fe. And I still love it! I used to have ovarian cysts that would rupture and caused immense pain so I was placed on birth control by my gyno. My periods are 2-3 days (mostly spotting) and light cramping. I do however get more depressed around this time and I feel the birth control does it. I also get more tired. But other than that I'm still loving it! I pay around 15.00 a month after insurance. I plan on staying on this pill."


"My daughter is getting her 2nd implant next week.  She received her first at age 8 and it has worked great.  Her bone age has not changed in 6 months!!!  We have had good luck with it and recommend."


"Warning: it does not necessarily take 6-12 hours for this medication to work. Less than an hour after taking 2 of the dulcolax pink pills, the effects began. I have been in the bathroom every 10-20min for the past 4 hours. I recommend taking this medication when you have zero plans or zero intention of getting any sleep.

On the plus side, tomorrow might be a really great day to wear those jeans that are just a little bit too tight, surely I've lost a couple pounds between these incredibly frequent bathroom trips."


"I started on Lyrica for my Simple Partial/Partial Complex seizures 5 years ago (by a previous neuro) and even though Lyrica was far from my current neuro's first choice he decided to keep me on it.  He immediately added Vimpat.  For the next 8 months, I had continued frequent spontaneous seizures and he persisted saying we just had to find the right dosage of both.  He'd change the dosage by 50mg increases, different times of day, etc.. 8 months of terrible short term memory, lethargy, and a rainbow of different types of seizures and as a last ditch effort he lowered my morning dosage by 50mg and I went from a zombie to ME again!  5 years and I had issues only when stressed or sensory over load.  But now they are sneaking back again..."


"My nexplanon stopped my period for a year, then I had a period maybe once every other month. The last year I got a regular period every month. A shorter, lighter period than my usual heavy 7 day long period. In January, about 6 months before my 3 year mark, I got every terrible symptom. I felt nauseous, for a period every other week, felt like I was on a never ended cycle, had the worse mood swings, I'm usually not the nicest but I could not handle being that irritable and completely lost my sex drive. I never wanted to have sex opposed to my normal self wanting it every single night. That's where I gave up on this method. I got it taken out a week ago today and I'm back to myself. After a day or two my sex drive returned. good for 2yrs 4me"


"I got my period a week before the initial day and I took the pill two weeks before that. "


"I'm 24 and I've been on this for about 2 years. I had quite a period which lasted about 3 weeks during the first month. I haven't actually had a period for about a year and a half now which is great. I haven't had any mood swings or anything. I haven't gotten pregnant yet so it seems to work well."


"The brand version of Intuniv has been extremely helpful for my son with helping him to moderate his ADHD behaviors.  He was diagnosed with the hyperactive subtype, and the problematic behaviors all but disappeared while taking a daily 2mg dose.  He has been taking Intuniv for over 4 years now with no observed side-effects."


"I have been taking Tramadol capsules for 6 months, deal with severe pain from torn tendons, both ankle and shoulder. Main purpose to help me get a reasonable night's sleep. Two capsules of 50mg taken 7pm have been very successful. There have been no side effects, I have been very satisfied with results.
14 days ago my chemist gave me Tramedo, 50mg capsules, as he did not have Tramadol in stock.... said they were the same. For the first time ever, I accepted replacement product.
After 10 days,  have been sleeping well past normal wake time, been very tired during  rest of day,  gasto problems, have had bruising (?) in the circles under my eyes that looked like blood blisters, and poorer vision.
The supplying company have not returned my call"


"I have had the worse case of cold sores for nearly 10yrs now, I use to live by Lysine ointment because I thought it was the best fastest treatment of cold sores compared to the numerous other ones I had tried that made it worse. I've learned over these years that not everyone gets cold sores the same severity, mine are sometimes started on my lip then spread away from lip & onto upper lip or even cheek, form into at least 10 mini blisters leaving incredible damage on face! I had avoided Abreva because of the price at the time (nearly $20),I  couldn't find my lysine so I tried Abreva, it is the overall best coldsore med on the market! PROMISE!"


"I have been on pantaprozol for just over a week 4omg twice a day.  Not noticed any difference . Have lost my voice for 6 weeks now . Been diagnosed with silent reflux.  I've got dry mouth . Mouth ulcers sore tongue and my lips are very sore .

."


"I got my implant in September 2014. In the beginning, I experienced irregular periods, but nothing too alarming. Things started to get bad towards the end of January 2015. I started gaining weight, tired all the time, and my sex drive is almost non existent! I've gained 23lbs since then, and no matter how hard I try, I can't lose it, and just keep getting heavier. I have a ridiculously large appetite, and my acne has become painful and very obvious. I'm not myself anymore. When I'm not working (which I do every day, very physically active job), all I want to do is lay down and do nothing. I never used to be like this. I'm bleeding almost constantly, and my memory is shot. I want this thing out!"


"I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 3.5 years ago. Initially, I took Lamictal and Saphris for one year. Saphris made me too drowsy too often, so now I take Lamictal and Latuda (60mg).  I recommend taking Latuda at night with food. If I take it in the morning or during the day, I get very restless and can't still still or focus on anything. I have no problems if I take it right before bed with a snack."


"I started Apidex on March 21st weighing 233lbs. Now on May 21st I weight 205lbs with very little excerise. Very happy with the outcome. Going to start working out, hopefully will get to my goal weight of 170."


"I've been on Paxil for 4 days and so far I have been staying up late, had a sore throat for few days and also been eating a lot. As far as my moods, I haven't felt any changes or anything as far as pulling me out of my depression shell. As far as I know, it doesn't start actually working until about 4-6 weeks."


"I took Abilify with Celexa for one night. It seemed to work pretty well as soon as I took it. However, only three hours later, I was sitting on the couch when suddenly my arm lifted up and flung itself over the arm rest. I didn't even feel a muscle twitch. I wouldn't have even known had I not seen it move and felt it flop against the rest. It was bizarre. Two other incidents happened that same night, so I called my doctor in a panic who told me not to take the next dose. They took me off it immediately.

It allowed me to feel more relaxed. However, the side effect was so bad I couldn't even attempt to do a month of treatment without possibly injuring myself."


"Medication has effectively arrested my father's CLL.  From 140,000 WBC to 5,000 within two months."


"I am 19 years old and started using this patch.  I had surgery to stretch my bladder a year ago (apparently my bladder quit growing at a young age).  Before, I had to go to the bathroom every hour and a half and the surgery was only a temporary fix from this.  This patch worked wonders!  Not only do I go less, but I can also hold it in for a lot longer!"


"It was given to me in the hospital to aid in sleeping.  I woke up in another hospital bed down the hall.  It was empty and I was trying to get in that bed.  I had a heart monitor on, but I had moved out of my room, and was half dressed wandering the halls until I came on the nurse station.  Why didn't someone know I was having an issue, because of my disconnected heart monitor?  They put me back in bed and seemed upset at me.  They never explained.  I just took it once.  I was awake but couldn't see or know what has happened, or about to happen. Could have walked off a bldg. "


"No side effects. Was clenching teeth on Synthroid. Very pleased with Nature-throid. $21 without insurance. Happy"


"My acne was severe before Accutane. I was at the point where I wouldn't leave the house, I had no social life, it was so horrendous it was emotionally awful and physically painful too, I felt suicidal it was that bad I felt like a monster, tried so many ways to get rid of my acne from the age of 13, nothing worked. It just got worse, turned cystic and then when I turned 21 I decided to take the plunge and go for Accutane, not joking the first 2 months were hell and I felt like giving up, but I carried it on and yeah the side effects like dry skin and lips were bad and I was moody but all I regret is not taking it sooner, my skin is perfect now and glows. I look like a different person, I'd advise this 100%."


"I am a 17 year old female who has been on Zoloft for almost 6 months. I used to have terrible social anxiety, and was diagnosed with an anxiety and panic disorder. Since I have started taking Zoloft, my ability to speak with people has grown tremendously. I can't remember ever feeling happier than I do now, and the biggest change in me is the fact that I now feel emotionally stable. I'm only on 25mg, but I have found that it has helped me in incredible ways. The only side effects I have experienced are loss of appetite and slight nausea- I have lost a bit of weight while on this medicine, but not a dangerous amount. I highly recommend talking to your doctor about this medicine if you experience social anxiety, or have panic attacks."


"I started Savella 2 months ago for Fibromyalgia, I also have DDD, a C-spine fusion from 2-6, chronic spondylosis, sciatica, and migraine. I used 2 titration packages, using the same dosage for day one out of each package before moving to the next day, etc. That way it prolonged the rising of levels. I had been on Neurontin for many years and even though it helped tremendously for a long while, I started having pins and needle feelings in my legs, abdomen, etc. that an increase in dose didn't help. I still have nausea and a tired feeling, but believe some of it might be due to decreasing Gabapentin as I went up on Savella. Having said all of this, I am not having nearly as much pain as before!"


"I'm not exercising at all. I'm just eating right. I have been on it 6 days now and I've lost 9 pounds. 1300 calories a day !!!"


"My dr wanted me to try this medicine after being very successful on phentermine which is MUCH cheaper. So contract gave me some stupid contrave card that charge me $60 a month - much more expensive than phentermine but for that price I'd try it. So now after about a year they jacked the price up with no notice right when I went to refill it to $92 no warning no reason and it's putting my life at risk to have no pills to wean off and no way to pay for the sudden increase.  So whatever you do, I won't even start this drug even if they pretend they will give you a cut price because they will suddenly increase it after you're on it hoping you can just pay it to avoid the  consequences of going off of it cold turkey, good luck"


"I have been taking this medicine for 6 years and am very happy with it.  It is the first medication that has helped me to feel what I would guess is normal.  I am able to enjoy things in my life that are good.  My anxiety is less and my paranoid obsessive thoughts are much more in control.  I feel like it gets my brain in the right place to where I can think clearly."


"I have had two injections in both my shoulders. The right one I damaged just putting my coat on. I was in serious pain for 10 months. After having the injection 1 year ago I have been pain free. It was very painful when I had it and for about a week after but then it's been fine. My left has been a frozen shoulder for well over 10 years and I have just had an injection for it. It did not hurt as much. No side effects."


"Can't tolerate stimulants, so only choice was non-stimulant medication.  It does work, and I've definitely noticed a difference.  First couple of days I'd get real sick for a couple of hours, pretty nauseated.  But that went away after a while.  For the first two months, I rarely felt hungry, I dropped 15 pounds, but my mouth was always dry, and I was drinking liters upon liters of water every day.  Still some problems "downstairs", if you know what I mean.  Makes me pretty sleepy, so I usually take it right before I turn in for the day.  But honestly, even with all the side effects, it works well enough that I do continue to take it."


"Absolutely fantastic. Had it in for 3 months and have only had light spotting which is getting less with time. Hasn't made me gain any weight! My acne has gotten worse, but it goes through bad patches anyway so don't know if it is related. I got mine inserted surgically and was crampy for first week, but besides from that I'm extremely happy with the outcome."


"Saw immediate results in triglycerides levels. No noticeable side effects thus far."


"I was given Luvox a few months ago after unsuccessful attempts with Prozac, paxil, and Lexapro. I had heard so many promising things about Luvox, and it seemed to be the miracle drug for many people with OCD. For me, however, it was an absolute nightmare. Possibly the worst drug I've been on. I was on a low dosage, can't remember what, but even then the side effects were unbearable. I threw up every morning for two months straight taking this stuff. The day I stopped taking it, this ended. I also had sleep problems with this medication, and have never had sleeping issues in my life. I have since switched to Clomipramine and it is working WONDERS compared to Luvox. That just goes to show every one responds totally different to drugs."


"I have tried everything from tricyclics,  serzone lexapro,  Welbutrin,  celexa, everthing under the sun. I just recently started on prozac about 2 weeks ago  (straight from lexapro) and the results have been amazing! I  sleep well,  my dreams are pleasant now and my brain doesn't over analyze everything.  I  wake up early feeling good which I  haven't in years.  I have ambition and energy, get shit done and look for more to do. Finally something that works! I  haven't had the opportunity to see if there are any sexual side effects yet but hopefully soon! Lol."


"Known at this time."


"Brintellix has reduced my depression to the lowest levels I've ever had with one medication. I have had medication resistant major depression with suicidal thoughts and occasional auditory hallucinations, severe insomnia, and attention problems for 30 years. I have had to take 3 meds to control it in the past. This med is making me feel incredibly "normal".  However,  I am having headaches and some nausea at 25 mg (always need high doses) but the headaches are improving- I think they will pass like most side effects do if I  stick with it and practice patience. I feel to good to give up easily."


"Horrible side effects.  I was suddenly filled with aggression and rage after taking it. I was so irritated that I had to tell the doctor to give me something to calm me down before I ripped out my IV.  Not something you want to deal with during a migraine."


"This made me really sick.   I would say go for plan b even if it is a little more expensive.  Plan b didn't bother me when I took it before.  But , with this medicine , I had all of the side effects you can imagine. But I am not pregnant , so the medication did do it's job. Just be wary that you can get upper respiratory infection, diarrhea, terrible cramps, & a lot of bleeding."


"I've had the Skyla IUD for 2yrs now and it's been a fantastic experience. I will admit the insertion was very painful. I took 600mg of advil about an hour beforehand and it was still very painful (an 8.5 out of 10 pain wise). The rest of the day I had to stay home because the cramps would come in waves and were severe. After 2-3 days the pain was gone, but I did have bleeding/spotting for about 1-2 months afterward. However, I was on depo provera prior to the IUD and it caused my uterine lining to really thicken up, so there's no telling whether the bleeding was from the IUD or from the depo. Since then my periods come every 2 months or so, and only last about 3-4 days, and I've never once worried about being pregnant. Highly recommend!"


"I was prescribed Monodox at the age of 39. I never had acne. I had a partial hysterectomy months back and since then I have had several changes going on. My skin has been extremely oily and I was getting a new pimple every day. One would clear up and another would pop up on my face. I went to my dermatologist and he prescribed this medication. He said for some people it may take up to 2 months to see any kind of result. It was working for me within a week. It is true, if taken in the morning on an empty stomach it does cause nausea. I am so happy, my skin looks awesome. It has been just 1 month, and I have had completely clear skin since week 1."


"I am 27 and was dx with Graves Disease about 1.5 years ago causing my eyes to be very painful and dry with a lot of inflammation. I was using artificial tears 2-4 times a day and still was struggling. I have been on Xiidra eye drops for 3-4 months now and am SO glad I discovered this drug. I had a 1 month recheck after starting the drops.. when they tested my vision I was seeing three LINES BELOW what I was the prior month because my eyes were SO dry. It has drastically improved with the inflammation due to Grave's Disease and I even feel like it has helped with the appearance. (Probably related to inflammation as well) I now use artificial tears ZERO times a day. Thank goodness for Xiidra."


"I have been on Copaxone for 12 years. I have had ups and downs with this medicine but never anything real bad. I did have some swollen lymph nodes in my groin that we assumed was from the Copaxone. I went off the medicine for a month and they started to go down. I went back on Copaxone after a flare from being off the medicine and haven't looked back. I think its a great medicine. I inject it myself mostly and my wife does it the rest of the time. I don't use my arms because when you get a muscle injection it is quite painful. I miss one here and there, to give myself a night without a needle. I have had very good luck with this medicine and hope it continues for years to come. "


"Geodon has been great for me. It balances out my moods. I'm weaning down off Lamictal because it just didn't do the trick. Geodon makes me feel more "smooth" I guess, not apathetic, but just my overall mood is on an even keel, without taking away from the creativity I like to display."


"I was switched to this pill from Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo automatically as well due to it being the less expensive option. I have not had any problems. My periods still begin on the same day and I have not gained any weight since I have switched  (8 months ago). I can say that I never had cravings before taking Tri-Sprintec. Now the 3rd week of pills I seem much hungrier for things I didn't eat before."


"This is the first day on Belviq XR so I haven't been able to notice much of a change in my eating lesser. I didn't experience any headaches or nausea. Actually had a little more energy. Now I've just did 3 months on Phentermine 37.5 mg and I went from 282 lbs to 251 lbs(without exercising much) I wanted to continue the phentermine. But my doctor said 3 months is the limit. He suggest I try Belviq since you can remind on Belviq longer. I am 5'10' and current weight is 251 lbs. My goal is too get down to 190 lbs and I am very optimistic in reaching this goal."


"I’m writing this because no one ever reviews things online when they actually work. I’ve had kyleena since April and have had no negative side effects. I had some random spotting for the first couple months and now have not had my period for about two months. No reduction in sex drive or weight gain. The placement wasn’t nearly as painful for me as others have said- about 30 seconds of uncomfortable cramping and then none since."


"When my symptoms first began (about 7 years ago) I suffered through a colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, tests for parasites through two different "specialists".  The results were that they couldn't find anything wrong, so I must have IBD.  I was told there was nothing I could do but "learn to live with it".  I found that it took 13 Imodium at one time to stop an "episode".  Returned to the MD and begged him to prescribe something / anything to help - Hyoscyamine Sulfate!  It works!  I take two when the problem starts and within about a half hour it has stopped. I recommended it without hesitation!  The only problem is that my insurance won't cover it and I just had to pay $150 for 180 tablets.  "


"The first week was the hardest, but I found that taking Xanax made the side effects easier to handle.  After 7 days, I started noticing a difference.  I hope I continue to improve as time passes"


"This medicine helped me so much to relieve some of the pressure in my head and leveled the pressure in my eyes. I also have edema of the legs and it gets so bad that at times I retain over 20 lbs of water which slows me down terribly. The pills helped me greatly and kept me active. However my doctor decided to take me off them and put me on Topamax because though the pressures were down, the headaches and pain was still there. I have gained so much weight because I barely move at times and have not been as active as I once was. My legs and now my abdomen are filled with fluid. Wish I could get Diamox again!"


"I have been taking bydureon for the 7 weeks.  At first I was very hesitatant to use a needle for self injection.  I've gotten over the fear and now this is what I can say.  On weight lost I have dropped some 13lbs over the 7 weeks.  It has really curbed my desire to eat food.  I'm still waiting for the medicine to start to work and see lower blood sugar ratings.  I have one more 4 pack to go and then off to check A1C.

Side effects; the bumps have shown up and I have two of them.  I'm hoping they go away as estimated in the next month or so.  I seem to burp a lot and I don't know if anyone experienced this but for the first couple of weeks I had very little energy in the evening.

 So I'll update when I get my results in 5 weeks."


"I tried this for two months and I cannot take it anymore. The only reason I wanted to be on birth control was so I could know exactly when my period would start, without the pill I would never be consistent.  I tried Lo-Estrin24, which caused me to spot and so my doctor thought I needed something a little stronger, so she prescribed me this. Since I have been on it, my mom and I got in a huge fight causing us not to talk for 2 weeks, I isolated my friends and got emotionally attached to a guy, which never happens and I have been eating like crazy.  My breasts are huge, weight increased and I was nauseous for a week straight, not to mention the whole point of me taking this was to know when my period was, well I never started when the pill said I should."


"This medicine works great.  The price point is high, but you guys don't have to pay it. The manufacturer has a coupon that you take to the pharmacy that you can get online.  It reduces the copay to just $5.00."


"I was a smoker for over 45 years. Now I'm a none smoker for a year thanks to Chantix. My doctor told me that this would work and it did. So see your doctor and work with him or her to quit. I had no side effects."


"This little pill saved my life. I fell off a roof 14 years ago and been on Norco for 6 years and they have been great I can almost work normal, I'm an air conditioning man. I can perform almost all my tasks, great pill. Would recommend for anyone."


"Used once and the product burned my eyes . Then made the mistake of not throwing it away and used again in one eye and only that eye has been watering for more than 12 hours and irritated. Now the skin around the eye is sore. I'm trying not to touch it but it's drying out my skin."


"I started using Seasonique as both a treatment for my PCOS as well as a birth control option. Before using Seasonique I lived with an almost constant period that would last for months at a time. It was a saving grace when I started using seasonique and it instantly "turned off the tap"! For two months I am period free then about mid way through the third month I start spotting until I start my new pack. This is a huge improvement to what I'm used to (used to be heavy flow and all the time) and it's given me a new found sense of freedom. I did NOT experience any hair loss and actually lost weight. It also helped immensely with my cystic acne. Altogether it's been a fantastic experience!"


"Didnt work for me, within an hour of taking it I had hives, also seemed to irritate my bladder so I was up peeing every half hour until  3 am! I do suffer from urticaria so its probably more about me than the product. Disappointed as I was hoping it would help me sleep. But itching and peeing does not make a restful night! I stopped taking it after  nights."


"Have taken Mucinex D several times over the past few years with congestion.  It is the best thing out there to make me feel better during the day but I only take it in the morning with food.  Even then I usually don't sleep great at night but do not experience the insomnia others are talking about"


"Really good. Helped relieve my panic disorder and also depression. Mind was a lot clearer."


"I got my Implanon inserted on June 30th of this year, on the last day of my period.  I may have spotted for 2 days after about 15 days of having it.  However, it is now October 20th and I have not gotten my period yet, no bleeding or nothing, and I am not pregnant.  I may have gained about 5 pounds, but I won't blame the Implanon, I have been bad with my eating habits.  I have not gotten acne, or cramps, or moods or anything, although I may have a little headache once in a while, but nothing else."


"It gave me some noticeable relief. Pain went from 5/10 to a 2/10. Put it on before going to sleep."


"After my VAD Stroke I am on plavix.  I have a toddler that I still nurse. I looked up plavix for several days & talked to several doctors. Some said it was fine, some said it was not ok. After talking to so many people about it, I felt that it seemed ok to nurse on. I've been on it for a month and yesterday I realized that my 2yo is constipated. We are weaning ASAP now because I don't know what else it's doing to him, but it's definitely getting through. I just wanted to post this somewhere for other nursing moms to see. We are currently only nursing 2 times a day right now."


"I bought Moviprep at Walmart Canada for $32.  Dr prescribed a laxative at 8am today which did a lot of the heavy lifting. I followed a liquid diet today and took prep at 6pm. It took 1.5 hours to begin working. 3 hours in and I think I may be done. I mixed it with lemon/lime Gatorade and chilled it. I plugged my nose and drank 8oz every 15min. I am chilled but that was the only side effect. I'm going to prepare my 6am dosage now. GLTA"


"I was first introduced to Atarax when I was having trouble sleeping at the mental hospital/psych ward. I was only prescribed 50mg a day and it didn't really help with my sleeping issues. I stopped taking the medicine but one week I started getting really bad anxiety, to the point where I would feel like puking, I decided to take the pills again on 50mg. It helped a lot with anxiety and pretty quickly as well."


"I fell and injured my shoulders and back. I was taking pain killers for two weeks but nothing helped. I went back to my DR. and he prescribed diclofenac. I have being taking it for a week, two times a day. It's helping me a lot, I take it with food so it won't upset my stomach. I wouldn't be able to get out of bed."


"Really amazing spray! It is life changing medication."


"I am currently using Abreva for the first time and I will absolutely use it again! I did not apply until after the blister appeared. It was a large cluster sores (about the size of a dime). I am so happy with how fast it worked! Typically, my cold sores last 10 days. It's been 4 and my cold sore has significantly reduced in size - its practically gone. I'm confident it'll be gone by day 7. There has been no crusty dry stage - which I feel is the most embarrassing. I have to agree with another comment I read about the bright white color.  I would have liked to use it more frequently throughout the day, but didn't want to draw anymore attention with white paste all over my face at work. It was worth the $20, a little goes a long way!"


"This medicine took forever to work at all and didn't touch my foot, back knee, or migraine pain.  What it did do is make me horribly nauseous, gave me hot sweats and shakes, made my hair fall out by the handful, and costs almost $200 for 30 pills. The prescription card only covers a month but it was time and money wasted. What a horrible experience!"


"I'm on day 5 and it's scabbing, thinking it will be here until day 8-10, it didn't really help speed up healing, and I used it before the blisters appeared, when my lips felt tight in one spot..."


"Awful stomach cramps, the worst experience I've ever had with a laxative."


"This is a fantastic medication. I was admitted to the hospital for nausea/vomiting due to the flu. Hadn't eaten a thing in 5 days. They gave me Zofran 4mg at the hospital, my nausea and urge to vomit went away in about an hour, and my appetite came back later that night. I continued to take 4mg as per required, generally before I ate to make sure it didn't come back up. Was able to come off it without any adverse effects. I highly recommend this medication! A potential life saver."


"They put me on palperidone and within a week, I was very aggressive. They took me straight off it again. "


"(15 years old, 103 lbs) I took this at 3pm yesterday morning. I was stupid and took three pills. at about 3:30 I was having HORRIFIC abdominal pain and cramping and bad nausea. (I never actually threw up but I felt like I was going to several times) at around 2 am I had to GO. after that I went back to bed but for the rest of the night had to get up at least every fifteen minutes with explosive diarrhea. I woke up the next morning in extreme pain with worse nausea than the night before. i tried going to school and had to be picked up early because i couldn't even control my bowel movements. its now 10:16 a day after taking this laxative and my stomach is cramping and growling and I still feel nauseous. i do not recommend. If you take it, take ONLY 1!"


"I've been on this medicine for about a month and I'm really encouraged. I've struggled with depression on and off now since I reached puberty (I'm now 37).  My childhood was great and I could never figure out why I struggled with depression, low self-esteem, racing thoughts, etc.  I've been to counseling at various times and tried therapy including CBT.  While these have been helpful to a degree, I never seemed to be able to shake the feeling of angst, gloomy thoughts, etc.  I know it is still very early but I really feel great. I don't seem to be having the depressing thoughts and my outlook is so much more positive.  For the first couple of weeks I experienced loose stools, mild hot flashes in the morning but they seem to have subsided as well."


"I took this for 2 days and absolutely nothing. Don't waste your time or money on this."


"I have been using this for just over 2 weeks now and lost 6 pounds. The side effects are there but not really bad%u2026.unless you eat the wrong things! It has helped me already see which food are more fatty than others. I have had no accidents etc but then I know if I go off having a curry/Chinese then yes, I will. I want to loose another 2 stone in 3 months and my doctor is positive I can. Just remember, it%u2019s not a miracle drug you must work with it by cutting down on fatty foods and portions as well as exercising. Good luck."


"This medicine worked wonders with me, however it caused me to gain so much weight that my doctor took me off of it."


"I got the skyla in April of 2015, it was extremely painful experience and really uncomfortable. I've always had really bad cramps so the doctor suggested this because it can lessen cramps and I didn't have to remember to take something everyday. I am about 6 months in and I've had extreme cramping every time for two weeks. They come on in attacks. The bleeding is a lot lighter and it's pretty effective. But it's almost not worth the pain."


"I went to a Surgical Center as a patient for out patient Bladder Surgery. In the recovery room i was given 2 shots of Demerol in my IV to help the bladder pain.  Much to my surprise I felt like a human being again because the demerol also  relieved a migraine headache I had for about 10 days."


"In late November I began taking Lamisil as prescribed by my podiatrist. There were few if any side effects --- at least none clearly noticeable by me. Slowly the nails on the three infected toenails began to grow out healthy. The new nail was not thick or yellowish, and was firmly connected to the nail bed. My prescription lasted for three month at which time the infection had grown out by approximately 70%. My podiatrist said there was no need to extend the prescription beyond three months unless the fungus came back. It is now early May and I can say that I have no symptoms of toenail fungus whatsoever. I have had the fungus for at least 10 years on my two big toes, and well over 15 years on a pinkie toe. My nails are completely healthy."


"I've been on Apri for about six months now and it's been a rollercoaster. This is the first birth control that I have experience with, so I decided to give it 5 stars because it's done some good for me and some not so good. I have had bad acne for the past 10+ years, so when I first started taking Apri and the acne subsided I was thrilled. I like having regular, track-able periods, but I suppose you'd have that with any birth control. The downside is the absolutely AWFUL mood swings, and I mean awful. I'm typically a very happy, joke-y person, but while on this medication I've noticed that I can get into funks of terrible irritability and sadness for no reason. I will be discussing different options with my doctor next time I see her."


"I have been using Restasis drops for approx 5 years, but still suffer from severe dry eyes.  My doctor gave me a sample of Fresh Kote to try.  At first the stinging alarmed me, but within a few minutes my eyes felt refreshed.  These are the first drops that I've actually felt some relief.  I haven't had to purchase them yet, but they can't be any more expensive then Restasis drops."


"I'm using this pill for birth control. I was scared to use it at first because of all the bad reviews, but I didn't have any symptoms at all until about a week and a half in. I started spotting like crazy, I was nauseous and didn't want to do anything,  also it made me a little depressed, and I started getting a little more acne than usual. So I called the doctor and they said to switch to taking the pill at night. I take the pill as close to 10pm as possible and I haven't had anymore spotting or nausea. Also I just had my first period while on the pill and even though my periods are never heavy this one was even lighter and didn't last as long as my normal period would. So far it's doing its job for its intended use."


"I tried a lot of the SSRIs and SNRIs medicines, Lexapro, Effexor, Celexa, Wellbutrin, pristiq, Paxil. Lexapro and Effexor gave me monster insomnia, could not sleep for nothing. Wellbutrin made me pass out and the other 2 did nothing for me. Finally my Doctor put me on Buspar 7.5 two times a day. It did make me nauseated but it says to take it on a full stomach which I took on an empty stomach. After I followed the directions I didn't have any more issues. No side effects and my libido has increased (wife happy). Really no more issues with anxiety anymore, I can now go to dinner, the grocery store without any issues."


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


"Back in the mid eighties I started to get some sort of odd inflammation they thought several different diseases because from time to time I test positive for them then negative. First Lyme's , then systemic lupus, then gout, then possible bone cancer, etc etc.. the list is huge and has baffled a lot of different doctors which have sent me to all the best clinics the last time was Neuromyelitus when I started to go blind and seizures.. when the flare up eventually got so bad  in the nineties that I was mottled and four times the normal size and bed bound not being able to walk at all..the big problem is it floats and affects random joints and organs . I have to .
What seems to help the most is Prednisone"


"I had the Mirena inserted in December 2007 and I my periods are the same. I have one on a monthly basis lasting about 5 days. The Mirena is a good option however, I have experienced hair loss and I am sometimes moody and my sex drive has decreased. I am not sure if the Mirena has something to do with that or not but I am sure going to ask my doctor."


"Thank you for the opportunity to share my experience. I was  diagnosed with cervical dystonia. I have been taking the shots for three years. I receive these shots every three months. The pain from these shots is very intense. I believe l receive seven injections per visit. I have tried to ice the area, it does not help. I have had pt, as well as acupuncture, neither worked. I find the shots help for about three months. I like the results, but don't like the pain. The doctor says it is due to the tension of the muscles. Anyone having this problem? Thanks for listening."


"Great product. "


"So, the night before I used Hypercare, I came onto this site and looked at users reviews, since I was reluctant to use it at first because I was worried it wouldn't work and I'd have bad b/o all day at school. I think the user reviews helped my unsureness because that's what mattered most to me; how it worked for the everyday person. I put it on last night, and it stung and itched (I'm on the second night and the itch is still there) but the next day I barely sweat. I sweat a little at lunch (but since it's the first day it's not fully effective) but that was it! Hypercare is a dream come true. No longer do I have to live with the embarrassment of sweating."


"I am a recovering opiate addict (2 yrs 4 mos). The dentist prescribed Norco 5/325 after a terrible root canal. It scared me. The thought of relapse is something that I've fought hard to avoid. So my husband filled the script, we said a prayer and he was in charge of dosing and hiding the pills.

It worked. No traditional opioid high or weird effects. Just pain relief. I have noticed a bit of a rash on my chest and arms, but it doesn't itch and isn't raised.

I can't say that you should take this if you have a history of addiction. You'll have to decide what kind of place you are in and if you have someone to monitor your pills. I can only speak for my experience. Best of luck everyone."


"I am 24 years old and have been using this medication for the past 10 years. My dosage has been increased as my body grew. I have found it to control my seizures very well. I had initial fatigue, head aches, but they subsided after the first couple months. The reason I rated it at 9 is because I have not tried any other drugs, primarily for fear of losing the control Tegretol provides currently."


"I am reading the comments and I am really surprised at how long and at how high a dosage some people with urinary tract infections are reporting.  I went to the doctor this morning because I have a UTI, but I was given 6 Cipro pills, each 250 mg to be taken twice a day.  From what I understand, most doctors will try this 3 day fix and not put you on an extended dose.  I am reading comments that some people are on for 10 days.  I am all for stamping out an infection, but I want to do it with as little medication as possible. So far so good.  Who knows, I might need a new prescription but for now I am hoping that this modest approach of a 3 day treatment will do the trick."


"I have been taking Celexa since December, and it has helped me get rid of my anxiety. I don't know what caused my anxiety to come on exactly, but once I got home from school for semester break I started getting awful anxiety. I was getting very good grades and for the most part I had no worries at all, but I found myself not wanting to hang out with friends, not wanting to eat meals at all, even when it was my favorite food, just wanting to lay around the house and watch TV and try to sleep. Once my doctor put me on Celexa it only took a few days before I became the old me, wanting to go out with friends and doing things I have always enjoyed. I take 10mg daily. As far as side effects go, I haven't had any."


"I was on Lyrica until last year until my insurance would not pay for it. They started me on gabapentin which does work very well with me."
