"I have taken Paxil on and off for about five years.   I started to take it after suffering from overwhelming anxiety and panic around the time that my marriage fell apart. My GP put me on this medicine instead of Xanax (which was working) because it was not addictive, etc.   And indeed, taking Paxil most decidedly reduces my anxiety and gives me a better quality of life. I stopped taking it about a year ago, and have noticed an exponential growth in stress the last few months. I've decided to start taking it again, and was doing some online reading when I came across this site. And so I decided to put my two cents in the bucket."


"I was diagnosed with bipolar II about 5 yrs ago and I've tried everything on the market nothing worked for me except Seroquel. Right now I take 300 mg twice per day and I'm so stable. I'm loving it problem though with Seroquel is that its a major weight gainer. I would stop taking it on and off when I felt better but then would use other meds to bandage my symptoms...get back on then off again...until one day I decided to stop with the denial and allow someone to help me for real. I've been on it now faithfully for 9 months...but I've put on 60lbs! It makes me eat after hours in the middle of the night. I'm depressed because of the weight gain. So I workout at home at times trying to be more consistent. You have to work this medicine."


"Been on Effexor since July 2014. I take the lower dosage 2x a day as the higher one all at once made me feel sick. I have severe anxiety to the point where i didn't want to leave the house.   I am also on Ativan for moments i know when i panic...way better than Xanax.  I was on Paxil, Wellbutron...neither worked, made me feel like a zombie.  The only drawback with the Effexor is that I am exhausted!!"


"Hi this is my 4 month check in! I started this medication at 198lbs and 5ft 5in. As of today I have lost 30lbs!! The first month was kinda hard for me because this medication made me feel really foggy headed and tired, but that all went away in my second month.I know feel normal which is great to me. The first 3 months I did not excersise at all just worked on my diet but I found my monthly weight loss came to a stop. So I recently started to walk 5 miles a day and that has helped me to loose 6lbs in 2 weeks. This medication dose work but you have to put forth the effort. I have been really focusing on portion control and with that the first 20lbs just melted off!!"


"This is the only treatment that has cured my migraines and I've tried everything from oral medications to trigger point injections,cervical injections and anything else in between  to relieve constant life changing migraines.The headaches dimished by the next day and until the Botox wears off ,about 12 weeks or so I don't have any,which is a miracle.I only wish I was given this sooner.

It also only cost 80.00 out of pocket every three months.

Another nice bonus or perk is any wrinkles you may have on your forehead ,in between your eyes, etc. are gone as well.

This isn't a permanent medication either,with minimal side effects,better than most of the pills out there.If it doesn't work it can just be stopped and not injected again."


"I smoked for 23 years, I was very addicted. I even smoked during both my pregnancies but I couldn't even quit then. Finally, after 3 weeks on Chantix, I quit. It has been almost a year and a half. I didn't have any side effects. "


"Before starting Latuda, I was weepy and sad nearly all the time.  I rarely slept well and just felt sad and sleepy all the time.  Latuda changed my life.  I am not sad and weepy anymore and I sleep great every night.   This medicine is just what I had prayed for.  I feel so normal now."


"Synthroid was horrible.  I had severe fatigue, hair loss, dry skin, constipation, weight gain, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol while taking it."


"I've tried lunesta, ambien, and trazodone for insomnia. None of these worked very well for me. Thank god I found Belsoma. I received a trial pack and experimented with different doses. The 5 mg and 10 mg seemed worthless and had no noticeable effect. I decided to go with the 20 mg and wow, what a difference!

It usually takes me over 1 hour to fall asleep, but with the 20 mg belsoma, I've been consistently falling asleep within 20 minutes!!

I understand this medicine has not performed well for a majority of other people, however, my body chemistry has responded very positively to it.

So my opinion is if other insomnia medications have not worked for you, give this one a try and make sure you go with the 20 mg."


"For years I suffered with gum bleed and bad breath... But after using Peridex all the problems have gone away and it helped me with self esteem because I don't have stinky breath anymore."


"Absolutely amazing! I was on bc pills for years but discontinued due to chronic UTI's associated with the estrogen in the pills. I've had Skyla in for over 2 months now and have almost no symptoms. No UTI's (YAY!). Insertion was a bit "crampy" but I get horrible cramps anyways, however, measuring the cervix was awful! It was a painful pinch but only lasted a few seconds and it was over with. I had no spotting the first week (except after initial insertion). Spotting (Very, very light) contiunously for weeks 2-3 then nothing. My periods are almost non existent but I'll get a few painful cramps as a reminder. My boyfriend cannot feel it during sex and it has not moved. I am very, very, very happy with my Skyla! 21 yrs old, no kids."


"I had very severe form of irritable bowel syndrome. This medicine has given me my life back where so many other medications have failed. I would recommend it to anybody suffering irritable bowel syndrome, please try it and do not suffer."


"Very sick and dizziness"


"I feel like some of you people commenting on how inept the doctors are at prescribing medication for you fail to realize how medications affect people differently. You had a bad experience? That is in no way, shape or form the doctors fault. At all. Your body chemistry is just different than they expected. These psychiatric issues are not an exact science. Medicine is not an exact science.
That aside, I've only been on Cymbalta for about a month but I have already noticed a vast improvement. I feel less anxious overall and haven't experienced a panic attack since I started on it. Again this isn't an exact science and sometimes it takes experimentation to get the right combination. Hopefully I've found a proper solution to my issues."


"I've been taking Reclipsen for a little more than a year and it has been great! My periods last about the same as when I wasn't taking it (a bit heavier). The first few months I started taking it I lost about 10 pounds and now I am back to my normal weight. I would recommend it to anyone."


"I'm on the second year of having Nexplanon. At first, I loved having it because I didn't have to remember to take the pill every day and my periods stopped all together. Then the 2nd year I started getting random spotting and now I have been having my period for 3 months on and off, weeks at a time. I thought it would go away, but it continuously happens, so I'm getting it taken out. Its a highly effective birth control especially since I get my period every week now. I haven't experienced any weight gain or mood swings at all though!"


"Humira is a miracle.  Prior to being on Humira I had tried two previous solutions NSAIDs and a non-starch diet with lots of exercise.  NSAIDs had absolutely no effect.  The non-starch diet with some exercise did help bring the pain to what I would call manageable but flares would still happen and with them would come several day cycle of poor sleep, less exercise, and so on.

My rheumatologist explained that some new research suggest Humira may actually help to stop the progression of the disease so I gave it a shot (pun, hah!).

It took about 3 weeks to start kicking in and by week 5 my symptoms were totally gone.  No back pain.  No shoulder pain.  No waking up in the middle of the night."


"I love this medicine"


"Please? Has ANYONE EVER EXPERIENCED EXTREME HEADACHE's Within 30 min of taking this med?
My pharmacy gave me this version for the 1st time & within & I've been on Percocet for YEARS (5 spine surgeries) & within 24hours of being on this drug I've been hospitalized once & had a lot of testing! I  came home did my own test to be sure because I had Suspected this med but I'm (lol) not a doc
I DIDN'T TAKE IT ALL DAY when I got home (no headache) woke up 4 am took 1 & my blood presure went to 198/120! Please I need help has anyone ever had this happen?"


"If I take 1 to 2 pills a  day (4mg) the pain in my knees go almost completely away.  Before taking the pills I can hardly sleep, or bend my knees.  While taking the med. I can walk, sit, and sleep without pain.  Its amazing.  But I was given this med. for something else and accidently discovered the relief. I thought I was going to have to have surgery on my knees for relief, but I don't want to now. I have had no side effects."


"I'm 40 and had hep C for 20 years.  I'm currently into my second week so I don't know if it has started to work as yet.  I don't seem to have any adverse side affects,  fatigue some  days - not all.  Still manage to work long hours and look after family and horses so I guess that would make any one tired!  All good up to now and looking forward to being hep c free.  Good luck"


"I think dilaudid is a wonderful medicine when given in high enough doses administered I.V or I.M. I'm currently in the hospital with multiple blood clots in both my legs and am on a pain pump of dilaudid at a rate of 0.8 mg an hour with 0.5 mg demand boluses every 8 minutes and all it does is make me sleepy. But a 3mg I.M shot the day I was admitted took the pain away."


"I had Implanon since Sept of 2011 when my second daughter was only one month old. I've tried everything at that point but no other birth control was working for my husband and I. I had periods almost every other month for the first year. A little nausea and a sore arm for about a month. But all that I could handle well the only thing that had me concerned was my sex drive and weight gain. After the first year my sex drive has slowly come back and I'm also slowly losing weight but I have to really work on it. I'm now two years and 6 months into it and I have a fully wonderful sex drive. And I'm still working on keeping the weight off. In December I choose if we want to put it in again and I think I will! Awesome product in my opinion!"


"Sertraline has been a life-saver for me. I started getting panic attacks just after Christmas and had probably been mildly depressed for a year or so. I'd also started to become anxious all the time and convinced myself that I was on the verge of a Heart Attack. Basically, I could go for a whole day with stomach or chest tightness fighting back tears and desperately trying to cling on to a sense of normality.

Antidepressants was the only option I hadn't tried but it ended up really working well for me. The first 2 weeks were really hard as the drug makes you worse before it makes you better but if you stick with it, the Zombie-like state passes and I would say after 3 weeks I was 50% back-to-normal, 4 weeks 80& and 6 weeks 100%."


"This is the only medication that worked for my monthly migraine, my co-pay is very high & and sometimes I cut the pill in half.  "


"I have been using hypercare for years now. I noticed people were saying it burned quite a bit. My doctor told me to take a wet wash clothe and get the affected area damp prior to using hypercare and it takes care of the burning. It really does work."


"I have been on Adderall for a little under a month. Let me say, this is the magic pill. I can focus, sit and watch an actual movie, and pay attention in daily life as well as my college. Love Adderall."


"I had taken Paxil when I was younger and it worked wonders with my depression and social disorder. However, this time around it is different, but still better with than without. My husband has been on it for close to 5 years. He used to be so angry all the time about everything, this helped him. It helped us because I am a person who does not do well with yelling and arguing. He did try to stop a few months back and it was terrible because his aggressiveness and irritability was off the wall, scarey. His mood swings came on quick and he realized he was better off staying on the Paxil. We are both on 40 mg a day. "


"I got on Camrese to help control my endometriosis.  I ended up hospitalized with extreme high blood pressure and severe vascular migraines.  Never had these issues before Camrese.  After 7 days of bedrest, I am still waiting for this BCP to get out of my system."


"Worsen my son.  It gave him  insomnia and increased the tics and  he gained a lot of weight, so we stopped it."


"I have been on medication for 9 years now. I have tried over 30 medications for my bipolar, axiety, PTSD and have found Lamictal as the only medication that helped me.  I am very medication sensitive so I did get the rash with Lamictal and still took it for 4 years until the rash ended up being to much.  I have now tried 6 more medications and have not found any that help without huge side effects.  I would say it was a miracle medication for me and I truly miss it."


"I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder back in 2002 and I've tried every medication under the sun with no success. Then in 2006 my doctor tried me on Modafinil as add on to my other medications, I was really surprised at the effectiveness of modafinil. On my depressed cycle it made me get off the sofa and lessened my depression. During my mania cycle I would not have to take Modafinil. It is definitely a medication worth trying as an add to as add on."


"I smoked for thirty years. I took Chantix and by the third week I no longer had the urge to smoke. I had a little nausea for a few days but it wasn't bad. Did have some crazy sex dreams. I am 65 and have been quit for 7 years. Best thing I ever did when I took Chantix. It works!"


"Horrible experience, I am schizoaffective and I felt as though I was going crazy on this medicine."


"I have found this cream is fantastic. There is a good deal of pain when using it but it kills the pre cancer cells. Read the directions and follow them."


"I had slight discomfort,  a little itching in the vaginal area. I purchased the monistat and inserted the applicator around 1am. When woke up in was in horrible pain. There is no longer an itch but the worse burning sensation ever!!!  Before there was no discharge or redness just slight swelling.  Now it's burning, red and discharge. Never using again!"


"Works well, but the last time I used it, right at the point of orgasm, I acquired the worst headache I've ever had. Literally. Thought I was having a stroke, or something of that nature. It truly scared myself, and my lover."


"I am 20, 21 in a few months, I am 150lbs and 5'6" and I am on 2.5g 2x per night with 3 hours between the two doses. I am on night #8 and I wanted to share my current experience for newly prescribed patients. I am very happy with this treatment! My quality of life has improved around 80% and I realize I still have a while to go before my body is completely adjusted to this new chemical. I do not take any ANY other medications, and I only eat fresh foods, no fast foods for years, and I have cut my sodium intake due to the high levels of sodium in xyrem. I have only had one B12 energy shot since my first day on xyrem. I have very vivid dreams (that feel like) all night. I sleep very solid and deep, and when its time for dose #2 my body knows."


"I am 56 years old had no energy, gained a lot of weight, woke up sweating at night. Felt terrible. It took me 5 doctors but the last one said it was obviously estrogen deficiency. I have been taking the Mylan 0.05 mg transdermal patch and I feel reborn. I have energy. I'm not hot. I feel great. Only problem is the patches don't stay on. It may force me to change brands or something. They did stay on the first month when the temperatures were cooler but now that it is warmer and I am sweating they are falling off. Plus I exercise a lot which I am sure is contributing to this."


"When I took this drug I was 7 months pregnant with extreme anxiety and depression. I was sectioned on account of the fact I wanted to commit suicide and had taken myself to hospital in a desperate attempt to get help before I did something stupid. It was the worst time of my life.

The first week of taking the drug saw my symptoms worsen and the side effects were horrendous. I've seen hell and it was that first week or two. It took two months for the drug to reach its full potential with therapy. The side effects don't last. My baby is 2 now and I'm glad I took sertraline; it saved out lives. Depression is a physical illness like any other and needs treatment. Suicide is the result of untreated depression. Seek help if you feel depressed."


"I have used Ocella for years and have not had any major problems. The most I have felt is some breast tenderness close to my period which I have always had and sometimes some mild nausea my first 2 days or so on the pill during the first active week. I am happy with the effectiveness. I had irregular and very heavy periods that would last 11 days. This medicine has given me light and regular periods normally lasting 5 days. I haven't experienced any emotional side effects or severe physical effects."


"I have had knee surgery and a fairly severe tailbone injury.  I also ride and train horses so I have lots of accidents/injuries on a regular basis.  Percocet really does help for pain, however, like some said, it also alters your mood."


"I used Remicade for a little over a year and it helped tremendously. While I was on it I never felt better. The only reason I had to stop taking it was because I lost my insurance after I was laid off. My doctors office found a program to help pay for the treatments and I will be going back on the Remicade soon. Can't wait."


"I'm 18 and have had pretty awful acne since I was 12. My doctor prescribed Tri-Sprintec mainly for the acne, but also for period regulation and birth control. In the 2 weeks I've been taking it, I haven't experienced any of the mood swings or breast tenderness/growth that others have. I've gained a few pounds, but I'm home from college and so eating poorly and not exercising, so I can't really blame that on the birth control. My acne has gotten 10 times worse since starting, with lots of breakouts on my forehead, chin, and around my mouth which used to be completely clear. As frustrating as it is, I'll stick with it for a few months and hope that my body adjusts and the acne clears up!"


"Garbage.  I didn't lose a pound.  I followed the program and it did nothing except cost me 150.00 in pills.  What a joke!"


"I am a 57 year young woman in relatively good health. I struggled with my weight since my early 30's add anxiety & I developed high blood pressure (BP) by age 40. I have been on 50 mg. of Losartan & 12.5 mg. of hydrochlorathiazide. My BP did not improve much & averaged 150's over 80's to mid 90's. Recently I started on a ketogenic diet which works great for insulin resistant folks & I have lost 30 lbs in 10 weeks & brought my BP down to 116/70 I asked my Dr to adjust my meds she said it's too soon. I began to have severe dehydration, black outs & dizziness upon standing, profuse sweating, heat intolerance  & fatigue so I stopped the hydrochlorathiazide on my own and all the bad symptoms went away & BP still great! Listen to your body!"


"I have been on 10mg of Lexapro 3 days. Day one: I was really dizzy and couldn't keep my eyes open. Day 2: was awful. I kept throwing up a few hours after taking it. It felt like a hangover and flu mixed. Everything hurt. By the end of day 2 I noticed I wasn't spending my day planning, thinking, and breaking down tiny details. I was in the moment. It was a little boring at times but it was extremely refreshing. It was amazing to want to go do things without having to make sure everything was thought of. There were no rushes of chest pains. I felt like I should tell everyone how wonderful it was like not be consumed by thought. Day 3: light dizziness and sore muscles. light anxiety after an argument and a concert. I have very high hopes now."


"This has been completely life changing.  I suffered with Anxiety/Disthymia/ADHD. From near constant panic and self hatred and sadness and not seeing a future to being content, happy, balanced, bright... the ME I remember/want to be. I cried when I felt it kick in because I didn't remember how to be this calm- with ADHD I'm REALLY emotionally reactive. This took the bad feelings down SEVERAL notches to "there, but normal/manageable."  I keep trying to summon the bad feelings I had before, like poking at a healing bruise, but I CAN'T.

I tend to call my anxiety RSD (rejection sensitive dysphoria) caused by a life of being undiagnosed ADHD.

I do have decreased appetite but I also take adderall so it's probably more that. I also want to lose weight so I'm not worried about it."


"At first I loved this shot, no period and very minimal spotting for only a day or two, now I'm spotting for months at a time, clots with old blood, then fresh blood, then it stops then it starts and its irritating as hell. I've been spotting for two months now which has been a consistent occurance for the past year on this shot. I'm over it"


"Effexor XR has helped a lot and I've stayed at 75 mg. but others may need more.  Also, a few people have mentioned that they fear getting off of it because of withdrawal.  Your doctor can help if you ever need to get off.  I believe the technical term is "Effexor - Prozac bridge."  In other words, you take the longer acting medication (like Prozac) to counteract the short half-life of Effexor.  A doctor could explain it better than I can, but hopefully that will alleviate any concerns."


"I have been using Alesse for a year now and I have a great skin, although I did have clear skin prior to Alesse. I have gained 10lbs. I haven't been able to pin point what is wrong with me so to speak, and after reading all of the reviews, I feel I have FINALLY targeted the issue. I have always been sensitive... but I have been EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL this past year, crying at the smallest things. I have been so emotional that I am currently suffering from depression.

Yes, I did not get pregnant, but I don't believe this pill is worth the side effects!"


"1) Severe anxiety; 2) social anxiety disorder; 3) major depressive disorder.
I take 75 mg along with 20mg Escitalopram, 60mg Mirtazapine, 2mg Alprazolam

Tried before: sertraline 7/10 (maybe the best for me); paroxetine; venlafaxine; duloxetine; "Parnate" (didn't help with anxiety); lithium, lamotrigine, "Depakote" (all ineffective); clomipramine (increased anxiety). Clonazepam and diazepam.

I ask my doc about pregabalin because I'm concerned about benzodiazepine. The more I take the more I need.

I've taken for 5 weeks and I feel a little better. The goal is to decrease the dose of Alprazolam. I will make it slowly. Before it was impossible; now I see it's not.

After a couple of months I'll be back for news.
Be strong, friends."


"I pre-mixed mine with white cherry Gatorade (no reds/purple colors) and let it chill in the fridge. Tasted like salty cherries.  At 6pm I drank my first dose over the course of an hour (it didn't specify how fast.) Within 30 minutes my bowel movement started. I got ZERO warning it was going to happen. I was on the toilet until almost 11pm. Ugh 4.5 hours. I was able to get off the toilet three times for maybe five minutes. I slept briefly,  starting my second dose at 4am. Bowel movement started at 415am. Its almost 630am and I'm still on the toilet. My check in time is at 9am so hopefully I can get there without an accident. I didn't have pain, nausea or vomiting. Just a constant faucet of liquid. Use A&D ointment and wet wipes!"


"I was suffering from acne due to my sensitive skin and severe summer heat.  I tried my teenage time acne cream in my late twenties but i felt it was too mild to work on my much matured skin like now. Then one of my friend, was a satisfied user of Retin A , suggested me to use Retin A 0.05%. I stated it in the winter to avoid over sweating and heat of summer. I face little flaky skin. first 2 weeks my acne breakout little more than the usual. but after that, acne seemed to be decreased. Whenever I feel too dry skin other than the acne affected area, I used pure Vaseline. Now I am cured and my skin is glowing. I am continuing the use of Retin A with my regular night cream as anti-aging properties. And I am quite satisfied with this."


"I truthfully do not have anything positive to say about this form of birth control. Prior to this birth control, I was one of the lucky ones; I used a generic BC and my periods were 3 days, very light, no cramps, acne, or mood swings.

I have been on Nexplanon for 11 months I have been on my period almost ever since.  My acne is painful and atrocious. I have way worse and almost unexplained mood swings. As I said, I have nothing positive to say about this BC."


"I donated a kidney in 2004 and was diagnosed with my first gout attack in January 2014.  My Dr advised me of all the possible medications I am able to take for the attacks and for long term maintenance.  The ONLY long term medicines I can take because of the kidney donation was Uloric.  I've been taking it for about a month with a low dosage of Colchicine (unsure of spelling). It has been working and I personally have not experienced any side effects at all.  With major diet adjustments and the medication my uric acid level dropped 5 points during that month. I am trying my best to continue taking what is my only option but the cost is very high even with my benefits.  Looking for some answers as to options.  Much appreciate the help."


"I have osteoarthritis in both knees. I had a torn meniscus repaired in my left knee a year ago. My knees were killing me. The surgery provided some relief but they both hurt constantly and going upstairs or an incline was awful! I had my first of 3 injections last week. The shot was uncomfortable but bearable. My knees hurt pretty bad for the first few days after the shot. Now almost a week later my knees feel so much better. It's unbelievable. I had learned to deal with pain when I stood from sitting and pain when I sat down! To not feel the pain when I stand is amazing! I highly recommend the injections!"


"I had the mirena placed in April of 2015.
I have had long, irregular periods ever since I got it. At first I just dealt with the bleeding because I felt better than being on the pill, but things quickly changed in May of this year. From May 2015 to January of 2017 my periods were: The first was 8 weeks, 2nd was 6 weeks,  periods 3 -7 were 3 weeks long. Then in May of 2017 I started having MONTHLY 3+week periods with a few days of breast tenderness then it starts back up.

I have had two ovarian cysts with it. I have extreme breast tenderness a few days before the start of every period. I have zero sex drive. This does nothing for my skin and I have issues with hidradenitis. I have very low energy levels. I am just ready to have it removed"


"I have been experiencing migraine from my teens. It has peaked in the middle age. After retirement it has again started viciously, the neurologist said it is because of pill pooping out. Tried propronolol, topiramate etc etc and even tried valproatete. Finally I tried divalporex ER 500 within days the migraine episodes came down and migraine if any does not progress into throbbing episodes requiring triptans. Gladly it goes away like a normal headache."


"Afrin is easy to use and effective, it helps me breath again. All you have to do to open it is push and turn, I do not understand why these people think it is hard to open."


"I had half my thyroid out almost three months ago.  Started taking medication about five weeks post-op.  I have become depressed and stressed. Everything bothers me and I cannot let it go. I go days without sleeping and live on black coffee. I have the shakes and hate everybody and everything. I cannot rid myself of the stress. I do not know if this is the medicine but that is the only new medicine I have been taking."


"I have had a 30lb weight gain since May of last year, so I finally was able to get Saxenda prescribed to me! And I am thrilled! I just finished my 2nd week and I have lost NINE POUNDS in 12 days! This is with NO excercise other than normal walking at work and house cleaning. It has curbed my appetite I have been keeping a daily food journal , I am on dose 1.2 and have a VERY hard time eating more than 800 to 900 calories a day and keeping my carb intake under 90 or less. Of course the low calories are the largest part of the weight loss. I have found that Saxenda has given me the ability to walk right past any snacks , I am excited to be on this  journey! Will give an update on weight next week."


"I am 15 and have been taking Amnesteem for about a week now because I have very bad acne on my cheeks and I must say it is very effective. Since I started this my skin dried up and my acne redness is definitely going away; however, it was kind of crazy the first 3 days cause my big red spots started getting white heads but they dried up very quickly and then flaked off in a day or two. I am 15 and the only bad thing about this is the chapped lips, dry skin,lower back aches, and I have arthritis in my left knee and it seems that it is making it hurt more but other than that this medicine is A MIRACLE!"


"I have been taking Humira for 2 years now. I have had RA since 2008. No one in my family has had RA. I noticed the first week of taking Humira that my pain and swelling was gone. I do get the sinus infections and dry skin on my feet. I am SO happy not having as much pain. I can live with the infections or dry feet."


"I was prescribed Prozac for my Prementrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) symptoms.  Mood swings and migraines were helped immediately.  Cost with insurance was very low.  Seemed like a great choice.  "


"I am neither drugs nor suboxone user. However, VERY unfortunately my husband is. It's been 6 years he has been using this stuff that calls Suboxone. He is like a serious drug person, like those who use heroine and so on. He cannot live without it. Even he no longer uses opioid, he is still an addicted and sick person. Once, he tried to stop it, after minimizing his dose till minimum.But you cannot imagine what I saw that time.He was not himself, he got such terrible withdrawals. It was terrible. So he failed. And started to use it again. He was suffering for 9 days and couldn't stand it anymore. The Drs they just make money, but not thinking about other people's life who has to deal with it"


"Experienced choking, headaches and after using for 2 weeks progresssively worse nose bleeds.  I ended up in the emergency today, my nose is a mess inside.  Cauterizations two days in a row, patches put on the area that have been bleeding.  Now I can take no nasal spray until everything heals.  I have taken Nasonex for several years and like it but my mail pharmacy stopped carrying it.  Threw away 3 containers of the horrible Dymista."


"This is the best medication I have tried for crippling migraines. As long as it is taken at the first sign of a true migraine, Imitrex completely takes away the pain and nausea but it does cause extreme drowsiness and the feelings of a hangover the next day (IMO both side effects are definitely better than a migraine!)"


"I have been on Arimidex for just over a year and have experience basically no side effects.  The only issue I have is my left hand and fingers tingle occasionally at night - enough to waken me, however, the doctor thinks it has more to do with Carpel Tunnel Syndrome - which I never had before.  I am going to be 70 years old soon, am in excellent health and shape as I work with a personal trainer.  Life is Good!"


"I have been on Yaz for hormonal acne for about 3 years now. Let me just say the first two years were awesome. No chin breakouts, less oily. Now for some reason it is no longer working. I am getting painful cysts again around my period. I thought it was temporary but I started noticing it in December and it is now September. I'm nervous to get off of it for fear it will be worse. It worked for me for some time but now I have to find something else."


"I have suffered from major depression since early adolescence, and have been exposed to over 2 dozen different anti depressants in the last 30 years. Expensive, ineffective, grossly negative side effects to skin and, chronic fatique daily. Trying another high cost drug a desperate last resort. Each dirty little pill failed, with accumulated cost of more than $15,000 to the  patient asking for help Negligent dispensation of Seroquel XR also resulted in near fatal car wreck for the patient. Aside from losing my car, and job, I was priveleged to gain 40 pounds, .... and counting. Chronic insomnia kills drivers, truckers, pilots, boat captains every day. Drug companies need try a lot harder to promote healing, rather than just bank roll profits"


"Before taking imuran, I was riddled with ezcema from top to toe, bleeding open sores, constantly on antibiotics and cortizone tablets and tablets for depression.  It was a vicious cycle that lasted for approximately 3 years.  Before this I only had mild ezcema, which I had for 15 years, treated with cortizone creams.  Imuran was prescribed by an allergist and immunoligist.  At first I took it with cortizone tablets and then after about 2 - 3 months I was only taking Imuran.  I have never felt better.  I only have a problem with my eyelids now, but this I can handle.  I have been on Imuran now for just over a year and fortunately have had very few side effects. "


"I have been on ativan for 15 years%u2026 started at 1mg and was gradually increased to 4mg. The medication only numbs things the anxiety never went away, and after I started taking I started getting other symptoms like OCD, social anxiety, depression and others

I should never have trusted the Dr and should have researched the drug before taking. I will never again just take anything without researching it. I am slowly tapering it off, the withdrawals are a nightmare but staying on this medication which should be banned is not an option. This medication was never intended to be prescribed longer then a few weeks. Drs and drugstores are completely to blame right beside the drug companies. They all know it%u2019s poison."


"I have been taking Endocet 7.5/325 for 8 months now in Pain Management, Works very well, Vicodin has nothing on Endocet."


"Stage 4 lung cancer that had got into my bones from my shoulders to my hips and spine and liver was found 5/6/2015. After 6 rounds of radiation on my spine to defer some of the pain and 2 months in the hospital I started taking Tarceva as the only option to chemo or dying within 5-6 months. Here I am 14 months later getting ready to start a new pill because of the Tarceva has showed signs of not working as well. The cancer has showed signs of regenerating in the lung and liver again.  The bones are staying about the same.  Side affects in the beginning were very bad rash on my face and not quite as bad on my torso and the runs. All treated with antibiotics and other meds as per doctors orders. After a month face and body began to clear."


"Nuvaring has worked out great for me. The only side effect I experience a lot from is nausea. I could be starving and the smell of food disgusts me."


"I have PCOS and struggle with mood swings, hair loss, and pretty severe hirsutism. I have had a lot of success with Yasmin for all of the above.

The most notable and stable difference comes after the 6 month mark. My body and facial hair grow back thinner and at a much slower pace, my mood is very stable and I don't lose anywhere the same amount of hair from my scalp.

I also have easy and comfortable periods and my appetite is very stable on Yasmin, which I can't say about other pills. I haven't put on any weight as a result.

The first 2 weeks of being on Yasmin can be difficult (nausea, headaches) and I don't recommend it for very sedentery/very unfit ladies, as the risk of clotting is slightly higher because of its Drospirenone content."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Oh boy. This was prescribed for my second colonoscopy (did mag citrate the first time). The first dose was at 5 pm and I managed to get all of it down by chugging apple juice/broth between gulps. Used a straw the second time around (3 am). It's definitely cleaned me out but the taste and side effects are getting to me. I wasn't able to totally finish the second dose (got through 3/4 of it) as I became terribly nauseous and knew if I kept going I'd lose what I had managed to get down. The taste is beyond description (salty cherry does no justice to the monstrosity, in my opinion). Dr said not to use flavor packets with it so I diluted with cold water and chilled the bottle for dose #2 as advised on here. Will not be using Suprep again."


"I started using Lactaid Ultra a few years ago and this stuff is awesome. But now my system is used to it that it no longer helps. I have to up the number of pills I take and still it doesn't help. But I do recommend this product."


"I love it. There was cramping off and on in the beginning and there is still spotting(5 weeks), but I have no side effects and feel great. Highly recommend"


"Very expensive (even with insurance) but it really works for my grandson so we make the sacrifice."


"I was in a car wreck about 2.5 years ago, which broke the Harrington rods I had in my back for scoliosis since the age of 15. I am now 28 and feel like I am 80! I have been on Tylenol 3s & 4s, Vicodin 10mg, Oxycodone 15mg, and then Kadian finally helped me. I have been on the Kadian 30mg twice a day for about 9 or 10 months. It gave me hope, although it does take a couple weeks to start to really kick in. No high feeling, and really takes the base pain away. Soon I will have the rod taken out and that probably wont help the C2,3,4 in my neck and the L5 and S1 discs that are smashed and pushing into my spinal cord. But I can give my 5 year old a bath, walk the dog, etc. It is about $383 per month insurance covering the cost! Saved my life!"


"I never had acne untill I hit 19, I let it go for a while thinking it would go away, then I tried a whole variety of home remedies, over the counter treatments, supplements and stopped wearing makeup and NOTHING was working. I went to my GP fed up and with low self esteem and she prescribed me epiduo! At first I was skeptical, after all it was just a cream but then I began to use it. For the first month I had terrible irritation and burning, my skin would crack and peel but I was so determined to clear my skin I pushed on. Around the 50 day mark a miracle happened!! Not 1 pimple! And I haven't had one since! My skin is just amazing now, people are complimenting me all the time about it and I feel fantastic!"


"I was told that I have Panic Disorder and Bipolar Disorder. After suffering horrible panic attacks from the withdrawals from Zoloft, I was given Klonopin to calm down. For once, everything felt normal. I was calm and collected after that. I've been on it ever since, I take every couple of days when I'm anxious along with Neurontin 300mg, 3 times a day. Definitely helps with the anxiety, I would recommend this to everyone."


"My 7 year old was prescribed tamiflu.  It helped his flu symptoms, but caused him to hallucinate, very agitated and feelings of wanting to hurt others.  I would not recommend tamiflu for children of any age.  My husband and I both took it with no side effects  others than some nausea."


"300mg at nite in bed ... Sometimes 600mg..... Helps me sleep and no restless legs"


"I wouldn't have a life without oxycodone and Oxycontin. I take 30mg oxycodone 4 to 5 times a day and 40mg Oxycontin 2 times a day. Without these I couldn't function. I have neuropathy, fibromyalgia and arthritis throughout my body. I as many others I read said, am so sick of being looked  at like I'm a junkie when I run a successful business I could never do without this medication. Take as prescribed and you are fine. I don't abuse it. "


"I had a PE in 2014. Will be on blood thinners for life.
Specialist switched me from warfarin to Xarelto last February and life has been three shades of hell ever since.

Weight gain, pain, headaches, hair loss, ridiculous fatigue ... my period was out of control- like Carrie (stephen king) style until I finally got an IUD device (which I have never really wanted to do but at least my iron stores have recovered.)

I found a new family doctor who agreed to put me back on warfarin but the specialist talked me out of it this winter.

I'm so weak and tired I can't stand it.

Started on warfarin yesterday and get to quit the Xarelto in two days. Can't wait."


"This medicine seems to work the best for me...however, the old reformulated was better because the cellulose filler caused some digestive issues. "


"I'm 43, and I have severe endometriosis.  Every month I am in so much pain that I have to lay in a dark room all day and night with a heat pad and eating a lot of midol just to survive the day.  One doc told me I needed a hysterctomy. The second doc said I should try lo loestrin fe.  So, I tried the pill.  It took almost 4 months of irregular bleeding and a lot of painful days until it regulated itself.  Now I go months without a period! It's amazing.  Also, the second month, my boobs grew a cup size, but then they went back to normal size.  I take the pill at 9 pm every night so that I won't feel nauseated.  If you have endometriosis, this can be a game changer!  I was told I can take it until I'm 53."


"I have to admit when I was first perscribed this medication, I was very hesitant to take it. Like with all medications, I didn't know how this would effect me. And asking doctors and nurses, I still wasn't sure. After the first time I took it, I felt better than I have had in a long time. I was calm and very relaxed. I had a small headache, that felt like a mild hangover, but that was the only side effect I had. I highly recommend this medicine."


"I've been on the Nexplanon for almost 2 years now. There has not been one month where I have gone a full week without having my period. These last two months I have had my period consistantly, cramping, weight gain, sharp pain at injection site, and increased amounts of ovarian cysts. I will never use this implant again and will be sticking to the pill."


"Nexplanon was overall good. I got lucky and my periods stopped right after insertion, which was amazing. However, the implant made my almost-perfect skin significantly break out. As a birth control method, the implant was very effective, but sometimes my arm would randomly hurt around where it was placed."


"I was discharged from the U.S. Army for medical reasons. Carrying 100lbs plus of gear a day caused a disk in my thoracic spine to herniate. I was on oxycodone 30mg for 4 years but hated the side effects. To stop taking the oxycodone and still manage pain, I take 55 mg of methadone daily in liquid form. Where I live, opiate addiction is at an all time high so doctors are VERY wary of prescribing any type of opiate. Methadone, however, is an opiate analgesic. I still take oxycodone for breakthrough pain and that's why my methadone dose is relatively low. At higher doses, methadone can act as an opiate blocker so narcotics are ineffective. If you're having trouble getting methadone, go to a local clinic! They aren't just for addicts."


"Started taking  60mg of this medicine for ADD &  anxiety triggered my ADD.
It took about a week to hit my system, while it helped somewhat with my ADD. It wasn't major. I was still forgetting things like crazy and was able to be side tract.

It's been 13 days and I'm stopping it today.
It has made me an emotional WRECK!!!! I've had CRAZY mood swings like seen in a damn horror movie.
Yesterday, I woke up happy then saw puppy shit on the floor and I LOST IT.
I was a crying wreck. It was so bad I laid on my floor and screamed tears! I've never been depressed insane.
Couldn't find my shoes- crying screaming mess again.
Left the laundry in the washer over night- another HUGE breakdown."


"Lexapro helped me a lot with my anxiety disorder / ADD symptoms ... The only thing is that Lexapro alone was not super effective for me, but when combined with Adderall and Klonopin it works amazingly -- none of the three medicines alone worked particularly well, but all three together work extremely well for anxiety, ADD and insomnia."


"My muscles in my shoulder get really tense because of a pinched nerve in my neck and I also have osteoarthritis and lower back pain this stuff when I have a flare up this stuff works wonders. They now make it in generic so I can afford it now I used to not be able to afford it when it was brand only."


"I have been taking Linzess 290 mg for over 3 months now.  In the beginning I had a few experiences of diarrhea but not so much now.  What I cannot take is the stomach pain, gas and bloating which has gotten worse over time.  I stopped taking the drug for a few days to determine if these symptoms were from the drug and they were.  The stomach paid came right back today when I took a dose.   While it does help with the constipation it is not worth the other side effects.  Back to magnesium capsules I go."


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


"I've been on Latuda for around 8 months now.  I have a Dr appointment next week and I am going to ask to switch to something else or add another med to it.  I am tired all the time.  I can barely stay awake within an hour of taking it.  I am emotionless.  Never feel better than a 5 out of 10.  Don't feel happiness.  No joy in any activities.  It's definitely good at evening you out....too good.  It has not conquered my depression.  I find it hard to focus and it is starting to effect my job.  I just want to feel happy again."


"I must say this birth control was a horrible experience.  I had taken Chateal for about 11 months.  I experienced horrible mood swings and depression while taking this.  I didn't pin point that it was the pill until I finally switched birth controls and my moods swings have been far less than they have been the last 11 months.  I know everyone reacts differently to birth control and this one was NOT for me.  Please be in tune with your body and how it reacts."


"I was switched from Prozac to this (150mg) and it is amazing! It really helped me but I will say DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE IT! my side effects of missing one day were these really weird dreams and horrible headache but if I was off of it for more than a day I felt super dizzy."


"I tried at least 15 different medications for severe neuropathy and sciatica pain. No medications help with my pain Nucynta has. I don't understand why is so hard to find, at least in my city."


"I have been using Mirapex for two years for severe RLS.  Mine just showed up suddenly without warning and honestly barely slept for two months.  I went to numerous doctors who tried every type of sleeping pill including Ambien. I still didn't sleep and with the Ambien I actually got into my car and drove and don't have much memory of it until I hit the back of another car!  Finally I was placed on Mirapex and it is a miracle drug.  I literally was feeling suicidal until that was prescribed.  For me, it really needs to be taken early evening because if not I have problems because it takes awhile to take effect."


"I'm using this for my morning sickness. This takes the edge off but doesn't completely stop me from feeling nauseous. I have a side effect that I thought you should know about as I noticed that involuntary upper eye lid spasms was in unconfirmed and I can tell you that this medication does and can cause it. I've never experienced this annoying side effect before but my eye has had severe spasms for the last 24 hours!"


"I have been on Zoloft several times. The only side effect was the "runs" which is fine you can take anti-diarrhea medication.  I am also on Epilim, I was recently diagnosed with Bipolar which in itself is a good thing.  No antidepressant worked for me, I was always low.  And off them I was both hyper and low.  It was horrible, then the anxiety kicked in.  So that's why I am glad to be finally diagnosed as at least I can get help and proper treatment.  Zoloft is brilliant for anxiety, but it didn't stop the bad lows and I was so tired. But no side effects whatsoever, well only the runs - which you learn to live with."


"Very effective for  diarrhea, besides it alleviates heartburn and stomach discomfort"


"I have experienced increasing neck pain over the last 3 years with the last year being marked by going through a bottle of 160 count Advil every month and a half.  Neck pain would lead to muscle tightness which led to headaches and it was rare that I could go through a day without popping a 6-12 over the counter pain relievers/anti-inflammatory pills.

I have been on Mobic for a month now and thus far no noticeable side effects - and the lid has stayed on the bottle of Advil since day 1 of the prescription."


"I started taking the pill at 11 years ago to help with dysmenhorrea (really painful periods) and after trying a few different pills to find one that worked for me I started using Yasmin.  I used Yasmin for many years and it worked very well for me.  Recently my insurance company decided that they would cover Zarah but not the Yasmin so my pharmacy switched me and told me that they were the same pill. When you look at the monograph included with the pills the only noticeable difference is with the non-medicinal ingredients so I agreed to the switch.  I wish I hadn't.  When I first started Zarah I was nauseated on and off for about a month.  Then I noticed that I was getting quite bloated.   My weight has gone up 2 or 3 pounds."


"works well good option vs proton pump inhibitors"


"Works great!"


"I was recently put on birth control for the first time. I am 24 years old and have always had heavy periods with severe cramping on the front end of my cycle. I chose this BC not only for these symptoms and contraception, but also for acne. I didn't see a major change in the acne. My period was much much lighter lasting about 3-4 days and the cramping was much more tolerable.... HOWEVER, this pill made me crazy. After a few weeks, I experienced EXTREME mood swings. I would uncontrollably cry and become very irrational, which is something I have never experienced before. My boyfriend quickly picked up on my emotional instability and said I was no longer acting like myself. Needless to say.. after 6 weeks, I am calling it quits."


"Got the 5mg tablet, have only used stool softeners before but lactulose wasn't doing much this time. Dulcolax was great! I took 1 pill at 8.45pm, managed a small healthy bowel movement at 1 in the morning before I went to sleep and like clockwork I was up by 8.45am to do another! It was a little softer than usual but  nothing dreadful, I felt all empty, no cramps or horror stories. I did prepare myself for the worst and had lots of fibre-y vegetable soup for dinner and kept hydrated, but I kept needing to pee a lot so got a little dehydrated and did wake up with mild cold sweats, nothing unmanageable. 100% will use again if I really need too."


"Hello all, just back from the doctor...lost another 3.2 lbs...started at 266.7 lbs on June 19 and now at 229.0lb. on Nov 17. Lost total of 37.7 lbs. in 5 months. As you approach your ideal weight you start to lose less and less. When I started, I was barely eating but now back to 3 meals a day but the nice thing about this medicine is that it also teaches you how to eat. I could probably lose more but my goal is 225 lbs ( 4 more pounds ) and then I will stop. Also, I followed the dose schedule. Made it to 3.0 then went backwards and now at 0.6 again. Once I reach my goal, I am stopping as the meds are costing me $450 a month with needles. Don't be discouraged. This stuff works. Try and exercise as well and the pounds will melt off.  Cheers."


"The itching and burning is the downfall of this product."


"I'm an 18yr old female, I used to weigh 115lbs and absolutely loved my body and and then over the past year  had some stressful things happen and I gained 35 pounds. Tomorrow will be one week since I started phentermine, I love it so far. I could count all of the food I've eaten on one hand since I started and I used to go from eating out at least once a day sometimes up to three times a day and now I have no desire. If someone offered to take me to my favorite restaurant for free I would turn it down because I literally have no appetite. Only bad thing is without eating I feel a little dizzy and out of energy sometimes but it's so worth the energy boost in the morning and loss of appetite."


"Hi to start with it  i am or should I say  I was  a 36 year smoker. I'm on day 16 have not had a smoke for 3 days. No issue to report from taking the pill. Now I will say you have to keep your self busy. It's odd I still  want a smoke but the pill keeps me from smoking .I will update as time go's on. December 07.2016.
So day 7 smoke free.less withdrawal now.I have just started to work out."The keep your self busy" and changing habits bad to good.I have lost 3 lbs.That's it for now."


"Helped better than any other antidepressant I have taken (& there have been a few!)  Major depressive disorder is a tricky one. Still working on that (20 yrs.  now), but I'm function able."


"I had sex with my boyfriend for the first time on November 28 around 10:30 at night, I wasn't able to buy plan b until the following Tuesday which was about 63 hours later, it is now 6 days later and my period isn't supposed to come in until 3 more days, but I have to say, so far it's been a miserable experience. I've had extreme cramps and bloating and a little bit of constipation. I don't know if it's from me stressing out so much or it's still from the side effects. Hopefully this works."


"I've been taking phentermine for 2 months and I have lost 22 pounds. I haven't exercised just my normal active life as a mother and student. The only side effect I've had is severely dry mouth and no appetite. I literally force myself to eat something"


"This seems to have kept my crohns under control for periods at a time.. But I realise especially after reviewing others experiences that I have developed psoriasis due to the humira. It is so bad now all over my scalp I have a lot of hair loss. It's all about weighing things up I know, but now my skin is reacting to my ileiostomy bag. I have no choice but to stop it. My skin reacts to anything. What a shame. It seems this drug suits many people, but also completely doesn't work for many others."


"I am a teenager who experienced some mild/bad acne. I was prescribed Ziana Gel in Decemeber and I was very nervous to try this product. For about the first three weeks my acne was getting worse, as my dermatologist had predicted. After those first few weeks, my face started getting way better. By February, my face was clear with the occasional breakout, which was gone by the morning after putting medicine on it at night. At the beginning my face was oily but it got better after a few weeks. Honestly this medicine has changed my life! My one recommendation is to give it time, if you want your acne gone for good I would definitely recommend this product. If you use the tube sparingly it will last you about 6 months."


"It's been really good still I stopped taking the birth control pill I got acne again, my period was late by 10 days and it lasted for 3 days only. I'm going to see a gyno again soon because I'm worry"


"The insertion for me was painful. On a scale from one to ten it was an eight and a half. My periods were pretty heavy and I kept bleeding for about 5 months straight just light bleeding and spotting until I started my period. Which got kind of irritating but I just used a panty liner. So far my boyfriend and I have loved it sometimes he feels the string but not to often. In the last three months I haven't been spotting at all which has been nice! Also I lost weight on this.. every body is different but I was stoked about that! Anyways it's a good one to get I recommend it!"


"I've been on Gildess for about 2 months, and I absolutely hate it. I'm always on my period, and never feel good. I always feel groggy, lethargic, and have constant cramps. I cry for no reason and my depression caused me to have therapy sessions. I switched from Emoquette after a year because I gained 20 pounds, which is horrible. I always have a headache on Gildess. I do not recommend for anyone. Hopefully I can find the correct birth control."


"So I've used the 3 day monistat awhile back and it worked perfectly fine. I read the reviews and was very hesitant about the 1 day, but I just wanted it over with due to being a server and not wanting to feel like I'm leaking everywhere for days straight. An hour after inserting the little capsule for the monistat 1 I felt the burning. It's not as bad as everyone says...it's almost worse. I kept getting surges of pain randomly that felt so deep inside to the point where I debated all night on going to the ER. The cream to soothe the burning and itching made it worse. I found that keeping busy made it not hurt as bad, coming to the conclusion it's all in your head. My yeast infection is gone, so if you can deal with pain, go for it."


"In my opinion it is great at its main purpose, never failed. My only issue is the weight gain, I gained 12kg on the implant in a matter of weeks and I cannot seem to lose it :("


"Good medicine, it gets rid of your pain without that drowsy sick feeling. "


"It took a good month to start feeling like myself again. In the beginning I was so tired and just wanted to sleep all day (of course wasn't sleeping good at night). I did notice right away how my anxiety decreased and I wasn't snappy or having panic attacks anymore. I had a flat affect for about a month and that felt strange to not feel anything. Its been almost two months and overall I would say this medicine definitely helped make me feel more like myself again. I still a have rough moments but am able to get through the day a lot better. I don't recommend drinking while taking this medicine."


"I absolutely love this medication. I was sick often from chemo and this helped miracles. I also was having it for sleeping and when I took this I would fall asleep and with cancer you often just want to sleep and not be sick. This was great. I also had lots of morphine but decided I wanted this more then the morphine. So to me this was the better choice and I was in la la land but was my preferred drug and to this day I still ask for Phenergen."


"I find plates/bowls with food on them in the night."


"This medicine works very well for me. I have not experienced any side affects. I have been taking this medicine for two years and I am very grateful my Doctor prescribed it."


"Five months after my Daughters fatal car accident, my Dr. suggested Celexa for my depression. I took it for 6 months. It made me worse, my Dr. thought that Wellbutrin might be better. It has really helped, just after 3 weeks I've noticed a big difference in my life. I take 200mg per day and now I can finally get on with my life knowing that some day we will be together."


"This is the best medicine I've come across for my whole body. I started using it for Tendinitis. I didn't realize my whole body was suffering from aches and pains until taking Mobic. If I run out of my prescription I can definitely tell a big difference. Thanks Mobic."


"I've been on vyvanse for about 2 days now and I can't believe the difference from the other two medications I've tried. (Adderall and Focalin) I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago, I was not diagnosed when I was younger, which would've have really explained a lot.  First I tried adderall, it didn't do much but make me a bit irritable, and still not focusing was on 50mg a day 30mg in the morning and a 20mg in the afternoon, and I didn't notice a thing. Next was the generic of Focalin, which dild absolutely NOTHING! With vyvanse I feel like I can concentrate on one thing at a time, and not have the urge to start 10 other things.  My doctor put me on 70 mg in the morning, it's a bit of a slow start, but once it doesn't its a very productive"


"Been taking it 4 days,i feel less sad but so thirsty n cant eat or sleep...not giving up yet because i havnt cried much and bdfore i cried everyday.n then was bitchy...thats been ok....we will see i will update at a later time...."


"Read reviews from others and want to offer some advice on what I have learned and did to use Epiduo.
First, Retin A will make the skin soft and susceptible to damage so do not pick skin as it can rip off layers causing scars. I use a sensitive skin soap such as Cetaphil sensitive skin soap. DO NOT scrub your face which stimulates sebum production. Use your finger tips and be as gentle as possible washing face AM/PM daily.
When starting retinoids/ Epiduo, apply at night after washing and let face dry 20min. Apply 50/50 with Cetaphil eczema sensitive skin moisturizer. If you skin is red skip a night but I found that this moisturizer will eliminate the redness.
Apply moisturizer in the AM after washing/softly drying your face. Use sunscreen"


"Have had experience with several other antidepressants and so far Pristiq has had 0 undesirable side effects. No allergic response, no first week horrors, no insomnia, nothing awful what-so-ever. I feel optimistic, happy and no longer manic. Hoping to check back in a few months time to give further updates."


"This is the best medicine as it never ceases to response in extreme cases.and takes 4 weeks course to resolve the issue."


"Tried it to help with BM but it ended up causing a lot of bloating and with diarrhea. Stoped taking and will try something else."


"I had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.  I had an allergic reaction to naproxen so I started taking Motrin and It was very effective.  I have been in remission for about 18 years now."


"Didn't help, just made me tired."


"I've been on this implant for about a year I absolutely hate it I weighed 120 after having my baby I was so small my doctor told me I would only gain about 5 pounds, I am now at 199 I've tried losing weight that doesn't work my acne is out of this world I barely get a period and when I do it last for like a day and a half! This implant is causing my body so many problems I have headaches all the time , My breast hurt , My back hurts , And it's so difficult trying to lose weight on this it makes me eat unusual I eat all day .. It keeps you baby free and I don't want to get it removed but it comes with so many side effects that your doctor doesn't really tell you about!"


"Loss of appetite, dizziness, some anxiety and blood shot eyes."


"I have been using this birth control for a year, and it hasn't given me any problems since the first month I used it. As long as I take it consistently, I have no problems. My cramps and mood swings are much better, and I only experienced cramping between periods for the first 2-3 months. Everyone is different, but as far as this one goes, it works very well with my body!"


"I had moderate to severe depression on and off, mostly on, for years.  Nothing seemed to work, until I tried Abilify. I take about 2-3mg a day. I have been on it for five years now with no side effects and no recurrence of depression symptoms.  "


"I was on Wellbutrin years ago, and it helped.  In the last couple weeks, I have been suicidal and VERY depressed.  My doctor put me back on the Wellbutrin, and 2 days later I'm ridiculously happy!  I think it's worth the side effects, but some may not.  I've experienced: Insomnia, lack of appetite, horrible nausea, and incessant twitching (every 8 seconds or so).  The insomnia is horrible.  I've gotten about 2 hours of sleep in the last 3 days.  Lack of appetite is okay with me, I needed to lose weight anyways!  Ringing in the ears is something I'll deal with, but the nausea and twitching are the WORST by far.  I look like I'm having a small seizure sometimes, and the nausea is just...ugh..."


"This product is AMAZING !! I am a 13 year old and I have been sweating a lot since 6th grade. I told my mom a week ago that I cant take sweating anymore. So embarrassing in school. No one really notices me sweating because I would always wear a jacket even in the summer time! So I called my doctor and she told me she would prescribe Hypercare. Well I used it the first night and wow the nest morning I didn't sweat a bit. I can wear any color now but every night I put it on it burns or itches but mostly itches. It's worth it trust me. So thank you so much Hypercare and yes I do recommend it to anybody who sweats a lot."


"On Lithium everything felt muffled. It also took a large dosage to get to therapeutic level and then I had allergic reactions to it, vomiting, tremors, disorientation, etc. If it works for you, apparently from others I've talked to, it really does; if it doesn't it really doesn't."


"My experience with Nucynta was very dis-appointing. Did not relieve pain any more than a few ibuprofen. And it made me feel tired, sleepy. I have been on many pain medicines in the quest to find something that allows me to function. This one will be at the bottom of my list, mainly due to it's poor performance for me in easing the pain / combined with sleepy, tired and a little dizzy."


"Asacol has worked perfectly for me.

I was diagnosed with moderate ulcerative colitis, started taking asacol (along with enemas, for about 2 months), now I'm completely off the enemas and still taking the asacol tablets twice a day at 4 pills per time ( 8 per day). It has been about four months since I've had any sign of my colitis, and I intend to keep taking asacol. I am reducing my dose to 6 pills per day for the next month or two, then I'll go down to 4 pills per day and see if that dosage will keep it away.

I am very pleased with this drug. "


"Controlled blood sugar fairly well, but I'm going bald using this medication. I know that others have noticed thinning hair while on it, but other medicines have not caused such dramatic hair loss."


"I suffered constipation for the past three days because of traveling. I tried a bunch of home remedies but nothing seemed to work, and I felt extremely uncomfortable with stomach pain as well. So, I went to the nearest pharmacist and they gave me Senokot. They told me to take two Senokot tablets straight away, so I took two at 3:00 P.M. As I waited I still felt very uncomfortable. At about 10:00 P.M my stomach started to make some noises, so I assumed that the laxatives were finally kicking in. At around 12 I went to the bathroom, and finally I was able to get some bowel movement! I still had to push and all, but it did come out eventually and I was extremely happy as I felt fresh afterwards. No pain at all!"


"I have been on Klonopin for a few years now, and it really does work great for anxiety, but there are some long term issues I don't think people realize. Being that it is a benzodiazepine, it is very difficult to come off. You must be weaned off slowly. I was on 10mg a day. To treat for severe anxiety, definitely does that."


"Listen, this product works! Me and this girl hooked up, and I had a spermicidal condom on, I came inside her with the condom on, and when I pulled out, I saw my cum dripping out of her because the condom broke. I was so scared, and it was, and is the scariest moment of my life. We went to the store 20 minutes after, and got her Plan B. (She was already on Birth Control, but we got Plan B just to be safe.) I checked up on her everyday, asking her if she got any of the side affects. She got Tender Breasts, Mood Swings, Cramps, and couldn't eat much. Weeks passed, and I was worried sick everyday. Well, a month later on the last day of school, she texted me, and she got her period. Just take it ASAP, don't worry, and you'll be fine."


"My mom has been given Prolia twice, 6 months apart. Each time, she had a series of mini strokes a week after the shot were administered. Her face and left arm would go numb, accompanied by nausea. The mini strokes would last 1-2 minutes, and repeat 4-5 times a day. She was put on blood thinners after the first episodes. Any testing done did not reveal anything.  is this yet another side effect of Prolia? Has anyone else experienced this?  She will not take this drug again!"


"I've been on Jolivette for almost a year and it was working fine until now. I had a period that finished 6 days ago that lasted 4 days and I started another one today. Makes no sense to me. I have not missed a single pill. I hope this isn't the way it's going to be from now on because I don't have the time to have a period every six days! Thank goodness my yearly check up is next month."


"I have suffered from migraines for 32 years, the older I am the worse they become. I have both the Imitrex pills & the shots.  When I am nauseated I must use the shot.  Approx. 1 minute after injection the intense buring in my head & the amplified headache are the worst side effects however NOTHING compared to the migraine.  Usually the migraine is gone in 15 - 30 mins and I sleep it off. There is also the 12 - 24 hour Imitrex hangover from the shot.  Muscles feel as though they are made of jelly, overall wiped out feeling.  The pill does not have the burning effect for me and it takes the full 30 minutes to combat the migraine.  Imitrex is the only medicine which has worked for me consistantly over the years.  I become immune to all other  medicines."


"Something has changed in the formulation of this drug.  I developed a rash which looked like giant hives after starting a pack and into the 3rd day.  I thought it was unrelated but then it happened again when I started a second pack.  I have changed to another brand and had no problems."


"Be careful do not to mix with alcohol. I heard a crash in the bathroom, I went in and found my friend lying on the floor. I asked, should I call 911 when my friend came to and said no do not call 911. I'm glad I was there. "


"I've been on Implanon since February. Honestly I'm ready to get it out of my arm. Yes, it protects you from getting pregnant.. But I have been bleeding for a month & two weeks. & it's driving me so CRAZY I just can't take it anymore:( but I want to keep it in because it really does protect you from getting pregnant. I lost my baby boy at 29 weeks pregnant.. On Nov 4th 2014. It was the hardest thing ever.. He was a stillborn. But I must admit as the Days went by I've gotten stronger. I don't plan on trying to have another baby til I'm finished with school. But anywho the Implanon works great but I just hate the bleeding everyday none stop...but I'm trying to hang in there to see if it'll eventually stop for a while.."


"Im not one to review anything online but Duac has changed my skin completely, I had been suffering from acne since my early teens and now aged 24 was fed up and spoke to my Dr who suggested this product. my only regret is I hadn't gone earlier. My skin is now clear of acne and I feel much more confident even leaving the house without makeup something I wouldn't do previously. It does easily bleach sheets, pillows and towels though so be careful."


"I was really scared about taking quetiapine as I had read all the horror stories, particularly around weight gain.

Firstly, I would say everyone is different and this may work for you. For me it has been a godsend.    I haven't felt this good ....ever....it has made such a difference to my life.    Far better than any antidepressants for bipolar depression. As far as weight gain is concerned, before taking quetiapine (75 mg) I was binge eating 3 days out of 5. This has stopped entirely, I have no desire to binge eat...like flicking a switch. So my advice is to try it remember 77% of patients don't gain weight on this drug.   Btw I am also on  lamictal 200mg. (I felt more hungry on mirtazapine)"


"I started taking Premarin 1.25mg when I lost my ovaries at the age of 28 to endometriosis. That was 33 years ago. My symptoms were lack of focus and energy. Within a week or two I was back to my normal self with the exception of the mood swings I'd had ever since puberty. Several years ago my GYN said there was an alert about Premarin and I would have to wean myself off of them. I went down to 1/4 of what I was taking within 7 months. I was taking large doses of ibuphrofen for over 25 years for inflammation in my back. When the Premarin was decreased and the ibuphrofen was taken down I developed extreme arthritic swelling in some of my joints. I was put back in the Premarin immediately and told to never get off."


"I have adult ADD,anxiety and Chronic Pain. Had to switch doc's (he moved)  and the new one insisted I try Fetzima.
I have been on it for a week. In addition to severe nausea & vomiting my stomach is rigid. I have been having bursts of rage that have started to become directed inward. Thoughts of self-harm (though not ones I would act upon). Have had flashes of suicidal ideas & am sad. I wasn't sad at all before I took this drug-just anxious & couldn't focus.

I have had serious problems with all antidepressants I have tried in the past. I'm reacting in a similar way though it is less severe and my anxiety (when I'm not angry) is marginally improved.

Not enough benefit to outweigh thoughts of self harm & suicide!."


"Valtrex works wonders. As a 20 year old college student, exam time usually involves catching a cold and high stress, and the perfect formula for cold sores. Last night I started feeling one start to pop up around 8pm. I got home around 9:30pm and popped two 1 gram pills of Valtrex.

At 9:30am today I got up and took two more. The cold sore did bubble up some but never got swollen, nasty and red. Its 5:30 pm now and its almost completely gone! Without the Valtrex, I would be sporting a disgusting throbbing blister for a couple days followed by a week of waiting for a scab to heal. I'll take the 24 hour cold sore over that any day. Please, if you suffer from these painful, embarrassing cold sores, try to get a prescription."


"I have what has so far been categorized as gastroparesis-- and while it did help with my stomach pains after eating, I acquired a heavy restlessness that basically made it impossible to do anything. I could hardly focus my vision nonetheless my mind, and my muscles felt tense and restless, occasionally twitching. It was almost an anxiety level of antsy feelings that I sort of had to wait out. At least when in pain I can focus and actually do things (albeit with more effort), but with this I was useless."


"Developed a bad infection in my face from a tooth abscess. My faced swelled quite a bit. I was on penicillin for a couple days and the swelling got worse. Within a couple days of switching to clindamycin the swelling was going down. I set an alarm to take it in the middle of the night. I had to eat something small with it or I'd get nauseous and sit upright for 30 minutes.  I took acidophilus and ate yogurt to help with digestive upset. I developed a full body rash by day 6 and was advised to stop taking it but by then the swelling was gone. My stomach was messed up for months after stopping. I now put it down as an allergy. "


"I got Nexplanon May 9th 2014, insertion was quick and painless my arm was bruised for a few days but didn't hurt at all. The first thing I noticed was that I was hungry 24/7 and a little emotional also I got I little constipated. Didn't bleed or spot till when my period was supposed to come and it was not a regular period it was much lighter but I did get bad cramps. I was bleeding for a week and then it went away. No headaches, no weight gain, no nothing! I love my Nexplanon and I hope I don't get side effects later on!"


"I'm 50. I was in school before ADD and ADHD were a thing. Those of us that couldn't pay attention or behave got C's and D's, and we liked it that way. I'm kidding, we didn't like it that way and neither did our parents. I muddled through high school and even got a college degree, but I really struggled. I remember when I first heard of ADD and meds that treat it, and it was a revelation. I've tried many of these medications and Concerta is my favorite. To me, it's the smoothest.  The short acting drugs hit too strongly and then quickly crash. Hard. I had been taking Metidate CD until an insurance change made Concerta cheaper. Concerta is smoother than Metidate."


"I'm a 30 year old male and switched from Dexedrine to Strattera about two years ago. For the first two months I thought it was a terrible decision because of the horrible side effects and talked to my doctor a couple of times about switching back to a stimulant. He told me that even though it says it can take up to a month to start working, in his experience, it took most patients 2-3 months to see the benefits. I'm glad I stuck with it. After four months all side effects we're completely gone and it works better than any stimulant type I've been prescribed. The problem is you do have to get through a horrible period of 1-3 months (10 weeks for me) before the nausea, fatigue, ED and insane sweating are gone. This drug takes time to work!!!"


"my daughter was put on Macrodantin to prevent kidney infections, and after 2 months was struggling to breath while playing football, tests showed that her pulmonary function had reduced by 25% and she had developed an irregular heart beat. I would think carefully before taking this drug as you may be damaging your lungs to save your kidneys"


"Was prescribed 50mg to take at bedtime for my ringing in the ears (tinnitus from the sirens). This stuff absolutely did not work."


"Very effective pain reliever."


"I had my Mirena inserted 1/4/10 and I love it! I know everyone is different, but it has been great for me. I'm 24, never had kids, and was on the pill for the past 6 years. Insertion was uncomfortable and painful, but not horrid (and I have a low pain tolerance). However, my doc did give me a local (lidocain) which I'm sure made a huge difference and I would not do it without.  I felt dizzy and nauseous for the first hour after and relatively bad cramping for three hours. The next day I was a bit tender, and by day three I was my normal self. Had some very light cramping for two weeks and now nothing, not even my period. I did have a little acne at first, but that may have had to do with going off the pill. I've even lost weight."


"After taking for 7 years my bone mass has improved significantly - my bone density score is now below the threshold considered osteoporosis.  I have had no noticeable side effects."


"I have been on the patch for 2 months now, my periods are not normal. I go two weeks and they are heavy, somethings thats not normal at all. I have cramps from time to time, but since the patch I do not experience any period pains."


"Took the 4 tablets at one time. This medicine was the best and also the worst medicine to take . It was great because it worked amazing everything was gone. The side effects were horrible. For an hour I was fine and once the hour hit I was sick to my stomach I threw up a few times and than I had the worst stomach pain for a few hours till I finally fell asleep.  Overall worth it tho its effects people different but if you want the infection gone this is the go too."


"I have bipolar problems and I'm taking 500mg Seroquel prolong once a day. It really has helped me on my mood swings. It's been five years now and I'm on methadone treatment too. I don't have any problems, I sleep pretty good now and I'm more stable."


"Wasn't fully prepared for the immediacy of the effect of this drug. As soon as it was injected I felt like I was suffocating, almost claustrophobic. It plateaued quickly and came down, went away quickly, but it was scary initially. Feel the cardiologist could have done a better job of prepping me for the effect. It certainly raised my heart rate, I'll give it that."


"I have been using these pain patches for several years and they were always very effective.  However, since the new patches came out I have not been happy with them.  They are still very effective in relieving pain but they will not stick as in the past.  They very easily fall off.  This was never a problem with the other patches."


"I have had the Mirena for 3 weeks now and I hate it. I am 27, no kids and the insertion was SO painful. They didn't even give me a heads up or anything. For 10 minutes I couldn't even get up off the exam table. I was finally able to hobble home and the pain was so excruciating all I could do was bawl for 6 hours after. For the first 2 days the pain remained. Ever since then I have periodic cramping throughout the day. Some of the cramps are mild and some make me double over. I would guess3-4 cramps every hour that last about 30 seconds each. At first the bleeding was like normal menstrual blood, then it was non-existent, and now its bright red. Every time I cramp I expel a puddle of blood and it even pools in the toilet when I pee."


"I have been sweating for 3 years, even if it was 30 degrees outside and I wasn't wearing a jacket. People would ask me why I was sweating and it was so embarrassing I couldn't even explain. I would sweat through shirts onto jackets. I was tired of this and knowing I would be section leader I knew I'd have to not be sweaty under my arms because people would start saying something. I went to my doctor and asked if she knew of anything to help. She prescribed this, even though there is burning and itching it is so worth the no sweating. In the Texas heat this works perfectly."


"Joint pain after start of medicine"


"I started taking Ambien back in January 05 after I had gastric bypass, which also means I don't get the full dose or affect of the medicine. However, last October I was arrested for DUI of having Ambien in my blood. A cop never saw me driving but some crazy old lady did and followed me all the way home to report I crossed over the yellow line at 7:30 in the morning after taking my son to school and thought I was a drunk driver. I had not been drinking at ALL. I had taken a 10 mg pill at 11pm the night before and had been for all these years so I knew how it affected me. When the cops showed up and I (like a dumby) told them what medicines I took they arrested me for DUI of Drugs. They took me to the hospital took my blood, since it showed up I got charged."


"I'm 19 years old and have been on sertraline for 4 weeks now they're definitely starting to work the first week was a few side affects but nothing major just a bit nervous that's all, I can definitely tell I'm starting to feel better! I use to have 3 panic attacks a day and worry all day everyday but now it's like I don't get any anymore maybe now and then I can worry but not as much as I use to , it takes 4-6 weeks to work anyway , they're amazing I feel so much happier and first time in months I went out for a meal without having a panic attack as the tablets feel like they blank noise out more and I didn't even concentrate on people around me or I don't have thoughts about dying going through my head all day everyday anymore ! recommend them!"


"I've always been lucky to have naturally flawless skin, but then the beginning of this year I got the most intense cystic acne on both of my cheek bones. It looked like I had an allergic reaction to blush. I tried everything, Proactive, dermatologists visits, prescribed medication, expensive products, facials. My skin other than my acne zones was soft and smooth but nothing was treating the actual problem on my cheeks. I decided to change my birth control. I was on Levora for a few years before switching to Tri-Nessa a few months ago. TriNessa took a couple months to fix the acne but I couldn't be happier! I'm just waiting for my skin to renew to get rid of the red. My confidence is back! Be patient it's worth it!"


"I have been on Depo for 3.5 years now and the first entire year I had spotting almost everyday. After that I would only get my period about a week after I would get a new shot which last at least a full week but are very light. I love this birth control because I don't have to remember to take a pill every day. I didn't experience weight gain, I actually lost weight after taking the shot but I did experience some acne which I am not sure is because of the Depo or just minor adult acne. I definitely recommend this method for birth control!"


"I'm on day 3 of the medicine and I have to say it's working wonders! 500 mg every 8 hours for 10 days, 30 pills altogether. I have a bacterial infection that caused acute diarrhea and I'm already experiencing almost no loose stool after taking the medicine for a few days. The side effects suck though. I've had a chronic headache, bitter/metallic taste when I drink cold things, and am experiencing a bit of insomnia. I have to say the side effects are worth the benefits because I can tell that the infection is slowly going away."


"Lowered pain when taken regularly. If a dose was missed I would get very dizzy.  All in all positive expirence."


"Caused me to have muscle spasms in my back"


"It's almost as if I'm a new person, or the person I'm meant to be.
My mind used to be filled with sad, negative, anxious thoughts but now they don't exist thanks to this pill. I still have some social anxiety but it's definitely not as bad as it used to be. I never wanted to admit that I needed medicine to help me, because seeing the way other pills made my friends act turned me off. Clonazepam really does work wonders for me, some say it makes them tired but it doesn't happen like that for me (just don't take it while drinking alcohol, found that out the hard way)."


"What experience??? It would be nice If I could get the top to open!!! Even my husband is puzzled by this new top!  You're not only keeping kids from using the bottle of nasal spray your keeping ME a woman in my mid sixties from using your product! I have arthritis but can usually be creative and get to a product somehow! In your quest to be SAFE you have lost a customer!!! I will use a competitor from now on. I have used your various nasal sprays on and off  for years and you have now gone beyond the absurd in your quest for safety, or whatever it is you are doing it for. Maybe you should consider a "handicap" version or go back to the original...only then will you get my loyalty as a customer back! Leave well enough alone!"


"This helped me cope and treat my Tourette's throughout my childhood. I do rate it a 9 due to it causing drowsiness, and now I am 17 and can't sleep without it."


"I'm taking 300 mg Bupropion and still extremely depressed.  Psychiatrist gave me a month of 5mg samples of Brintellix to supplement the Bupropion.  I have been taking it for 5 days now and have severe nausea & vomiting along with constipation. Nausea & vomiting occurs 20 min. to 1/2 hour after taking so the drug isn't absorbed into my system to have an effect on my depression.  I am on other medications that I was taking at the same time as the Brintellix.  I've decided to take the Bintellix with food in the morning and all other meds at night due to the vomiting so that the other drugs can be effective.  I can deal with nausea & constipation, but the not vomiting. I will continue taking and hope the vomiting stops. Fingers crossed."


"I began treatment April 27 and am almost done.  If I had known how severe the side effects would be I would have opted for another treatment.  I have had debilitating headaches, nausea, vomiting and extreme fatigue and can't get my blood pressure under control.  It has been dangerously high.  The doctors prescribe this medication and then are not equipped to help you with the side effects or have not done their homework and so you're on your own.  Too much to say for this text.  I would not recommend it."


"I have been on anti-depression medicine for about 10 years.  Different ones, but, the last one - Lexapro-.  I felt like I was going crazy.  I had crazy feelings of not being worth anything and like everyone was against me.  Cried all the time and did not want to do anything.  My doctor started me on Brintellix (20MG) and I felt better after about 1 week.  I have been on it now for 1 month.  I feel like I need this medicine to keep going every day.  It did cause me to feel nauseated daily for about 2 weeks.  That feeling has gone.  But the bad part of this medicine for me is that my taste has changed when I eat certain foods.  I have a better outlook on life and do want to do things but still have issues."


"I first started with Lo Loestrin and had a terrible experience with it the first month or so. I then switched to Minastrin to see if my body can handle it. The first few months were great, no crazy side effects and my period was super light- no cramps and lasted about 4 days at most. About a month and a half ago that's when it got worse. I have a headache every single day.. Constant dizziness and fatigue. I'm a personal trainer so it's my lifestyle to eat right and train almost everyday. I noticed I'm not losing any fat, instead I gained about 3lbs and constantly feel like I'm retaining water. As I type this I have a throbbing headache on the left side of my head. All I want to do is sleep and even if I take Advil my pain does not go away."


"I was diagnosed with  Narcolepsy 1990. They started me on Ritalin, which did not work for me. Then Dexedrine. It did work but caused a lot of tension in neck shoulder back in the evenings. Then Provigil, Nuvigil. I have settled on Adderall, it wakes me in the morning and keeps me awake in the afternoon. It's a God send."


"The reviews I read about Implanon seriously freaked me out at first. So much so, that I cancelled my initial consultation. After talking things over with a friend, I decide to just go for it. Long story short, I love this birth control. I don't have to take pills daily anymore and I'm always protected. It's very effective AND I still have monthly periods. My first period was a little long, like 8-9 days, but now they're normal length (3-5 days) and easy. My only complaint would be that while on the pill my cramps virtually disappeared. Since being on Implanon, my cramps have returned however not as strong! I recommend this for all young women like myself-- do yourself the favor."


"Great when combined with Adderall (immediate release). I stay focused and organized, have consistent energy, and even speak more professionally at work. Con: Tightness in chest/anxiety on doses higher than 5mg. I seem to be highly sensitive to the XR, so I take 5mg three times a day with Adderall (immediate release) 10mg."


"I had extremely bad sweating under my armpits. I used to sweat in normal tee-shirts and even thick sweatshirts. It was so embarrassing. When I got in front of people or to a party or something, it was terrible. I couldn't wear normal colored shirts, especially grey, which is like my favorite color, because the sweat stains were so large. I couldn't take it anymore and asked my doctor about a solution and she suggested Hypercare to me. I tried it on at night, washed it off in the morning, and did not put any deodorant/antiperspirant on the following morning and I tested it with a grey tee shirt and went to the mall and NO SWEATING AT ALL. Hypercare is magic! I'm so dry now! Definitely would recommend this to anyone with the same problem!!"


"I would not recommend this pill whatsoever. I went on it and the only pro was a four day period, basically no period at all, just brown, also barely any cramps. But when it comes to cons the list is huge- I've stayed a steady weight my whole life after taking this pill my weight has sky rocketed, sever bipolar mood swings, acne all the time, and anxiety all the time. I was going to deal with it but after a year I decided I just can't do it anymore. I am just going to deal with my period by itself."


"I have 7 Immediate Family members that had Alzheimer's and died except my younger sister, Debra Age 61. She resides in a Nursing Home and was admitted 1/13/13. My Dr. put me on the Exelon Patch around that time. I have enjoyed extra energy. I have been diagnosed with mild cognitive loss. I am 63. No adverse side effects from the Exelon Patch. Don't like black gummy circle it leaves on skin.  9/20/2015, I went to my Pharmacy for my Exelon Patch. The script they gave me was for Rivastigmine, with bright RED sticker: A GENERIC EQUIVALENT DRUG has been dispensed of the same QUALITY and at a LOWER PRICE. UNTRUE. It falls off and sticks to clothes. 1st script at generic price, 2nd and on full price of EXELON. Ins won't pay"


"Started on 0.5 mg at bedtime for possible restless leg syndrome, developed flat affect, lack of emotion, somnolence. Reduced to 0.25 mg at bedtime. Kept on this med by another neurologist who diagnosed tardive dyskinesia. Third neurologist increased to 0.5 mg at bedtime in attempt to promote better sleep (had restless sleep to this point). Found not helpful with sleep, still woke up many times and restless with increased somnolence next day, so decreased back to 0.25 mg. Med was somewhat helpful decreasing uncontrolled movements of TD, but not a lot. While not effective in my case in promoting better sleep, it was somewhat effective in reducing some of the uncontrolled movements of tardive dyskinesia, for which there are few effective meds."


"I am on day 4 now and I am pretty spacey.  I feel like I have smoked weed honestly. However, I started at 277 and I am at 272 this morning. I am taking 50 mg twice a day. So I think what I will do since I have to work is cut them in have and do half in the morning half at lunch half at dinner and half at bed time so its not so crazy. Lol. It does cause slight memory loss and a little tingly feeling but its not unbearable. I have noticed I do not want any sweets. I crave fruit. And veggies. Or nothing. I had 36 cookies on my desk Friday and didn't eat one of them... This is very worth it. And the side effects do wear off after a while. Thats how I know its time to take another half. I will update later. Yay I extremely happy!!"


"I could only complete the first session. Within 5 minutes of taking the first mixture at 6:00 PM my BM's started.  The BM's continued sporadically throughout the night approx. every 30 to 90 minutes until 8:00 AM the next morning. I consumed voluminous quantities of water to avoid becoming dehydrated. Around midnight, upper belly pain and chills began which lasted all sleepless night long. I did not dare try to take the second dose or I could not travel to the test site without soiling myself. My 9:30 AM colonoscopy was completed but my doctor said my colon prep was only "suboptimal" which resulted in a poor test. Even tho I had about 14/15 BM's from the first dose, my colon prep was "suboptimal".  Never Again!"


"I am now a three time partial responder, my experiance with telaprevir started real well. I had a 6 week interferon lead in and was undetectable after 10 weeks at week 12. I suddenly broke out in the most awful rash with itchy red raised blotches EVERYWHERE so that ended that and was switched to boceplivir. "


"Getting it taken out after 6 months of non-stop bleeding. I feel like I have lost a substantial amount of blood. Just did not work well with my body."


"Had 1st shot of Simponi and didn't notice any change. I was also taking 2 pills of methotrexate. Doc upped methotrexate to 6 pills. I had been getting muscle spasms intermittently since starting Simponi. After 3rd shot, I got the muscle spasms the next day and they lasted for a week. Doc took me off Simponi due to the muscle spasms and also because I didn't notice any change in AS. "


"Awesome. Best medicine I've ever found for depression and anxiety. All my problems are over. I had diarrhea for two days, but then it has been bliss for a month now with ZERO side effects."


"Can't recommend more highly.  Unless my anxiety is particularly high, this medication helps assure a wonderful night's sleep.  I'm on 200 mg nightly, along with Ultracet."


"I need to lose 30 lbs. I tried every thing, even the HCG diet. I was so hungry on that diet, it made me gain more weight. I tried phentermine 37.5 mg 7 days ago, and I am down 5 lbs. the first day I took it, I didn't eat all day long. It was weird and scary at the same time. I just wasn't hungry at all. My energy level was at the highest I ever felt. I had to keep moving. The next day, my body started getting use to the pill. I don't night snack any more. My last meal is around 7pm. If I start exercising I will probably lose more weight faster. side effects: thirsty all the time, but that helps me to get my 8 glasses of water intake. Sometimes I feel kind of emotional. that's about it."


"I have had severe rheumatoid arthritis and linked auto immune liver disease for four years.  Nothing worked.  I couldn't take methotrexate because of my liver.  I have had steroids by the bucket load, sulfasalazine, azathrioprine, cimzia, simponi, rituximab, - nothing worked.  I began orencia seven months ago and it has transformed my life.  I am almost back to normal again (although anyone who has been through this will know that life will never be the same again!) and have had no unpleasant side effects. Amazing."


"It worked Great! If your actually ready to stop smoking, it will work for you,, it did for me. I smoked my last cigarette on 02/09/2015 and not one since. There is a big difference between the physical craving, and the physical habit. Chantix takes away the physical craving completely, as for the physical habit, that's up to the person.. I recommend picking up some hard candy, and staying as busy as you can for the first few weeks. Best of luck to all. It's really not as hard to quit as you think. I smoked for over 40 years, and up to 3 packs a day when I quit.."


"I've be taken Adipex since May of 2012.  I'm 5'2", and started off weighing at 180 lbs. It's now January 18, 2013 and I weigh a beautiful 145 lbs. I FEEL GREAT! "
