"I'm 18, and this is my first YI as most women call it. I did research on what to use to get rid of the infection. I found Monistat 7. I read the comments, and was scared, I didn't want to be in such pain that I'd cry myself to sleep. But I wanted the infection gone. I got it, looking at the upside that the burning would only last 15-20 min. I took ibuprofen, put on anti-itch cream to prevent extreme itching, and put the Monistat in I then put an ice pack over my area, to lower the heat, and prevent the yeast from getting stronger. Knowing that yeast feeds off of heat. 3 minutes into laying down, a heat came, then a slight burning. The itching sucks but I'm prepared to take on the next 6 days! I would definitely suggest Monistat 7 for a YI!"


"I was experiencing frequent urination, especially at night.  During the night, I would be up every hour to hour and a half to urinate and flow was weak.  I also had to urinate frequently during the day, although not as bad as at night.  I was also experiencing increasing urgency, when I had to go, I had to go!

            My MD recommended Cialis 5mg daily to treat my BPH.  I began to notice results in approximately two weeks.  Now, I am up once or twice a night and my erections feel like they did when I was in my twenties!  (in my sixties now).  Only side effects have been flushing of my face and neck, not severe and only lasts a short time and my eyes are bloodshot sometimes.   Again, not severe.

          Very happy with the results!"


"I used Accutane when I was 12. It worked perfectly. It worth every penny even considering the price is kind of high. I'm now 30 and I have to do it again.... yeah, acne can be a real pain in the butt but in a couple of months, it will be over."


"Bystolic did not help lower my blood pressure as my other blood pressure medicine just recently had to be doubled. I have taken the medicine for 10 months and at my last doctor's appointment I realized I have gained 22 pounds in the last 10 months without any changes to diet or activity level. Also I have felt disconnected from my life and have had absolutely no sex drive.  This medicine is not for me. I paid $50 a month for a drug that caused me to gain 22 pounds that I now have to lose."


"At 27, I have suffered from manic depression for over 10 years now and always thought I could manage the depression naturally. Was given Pristiq last week after seeing my family doctor in tears over feeling resentful towards my partner since the birth of our daughter and also stressed and unable to cope. After a bit of convincing from my Dr, I decided that my family staying together was too important not to try it and I have to say WOW! I feel like a new person and wonder with horror just how long I could have gone on talking myself out of what in the end has completely changed my life for the better! I adore my life suddenly, have no feelings of anxiety or fear or resentfulness. Hope it lasts."


"Truly life changing for those with narcolepsy/cataplexy."


"Suprep is the way to go. I had horrible anxiety about doing another prep after a bad experience with another product years ago. I almost cancelled my appt and even called my doctor for other prep options. I warned them that if I was unable to drink this they would not see me in the morning because I wasn't going to force myself to drink something that will make me sick. I have to say this was so easy I had no gagging while drinking it and no nausea either. I had none of the horrible side effects other people had experienced. Does it taste great? No it doesn't but very tolerable and the lemon trick worked like a champ. It does taste like cherry cough syrup but very easy to swallow. I would use this product again."


"I was having trouble conceiving so, I had tests done, DNC (just to clean the inside and make sure it was OK), got put on a fertility pills but they made me gain weight. I started adipex July 18th weight was 305 pounds. I'm always thirsty with dry mouth, quit drinking everything except water and coffee, only eating low carb foods, and when I get hungry I only eat little portions and I get full faster. I do not have a job and don't exercise everyday but I'm constantly doing something or going somewhere and the meds have really helped in my weight loss, self confidence, and changed my life style. As if August 17th I am down to 289 pounds, I have lost 16 lbs in 1 month. Currently on month 2 will post as weight loss continues."


"This is very effective, safe and well tolerated medicine. Preferred in Metabolic syndrome."


"I was taking this pill constantly to stop my periods because I have endometriosis, it did the job, but I did notice I gained quite a bit of weight from it.  When I stopped taking it, I noticed a month later that I had actually lost weight.  Other than that not really any side effects."


"Two years ago I returned to the UK after living in Spain for 11 years, I lost 5 retail business a 6 bedroom villa and a 21 year marriage all in 8 months. Returned to the UK homeless and penniless. Since returning I have had no will to try again and fell into a downward spiral of depression where I really didn't care whether I lived or died. Tried every drug you could name, nothing worked to make me feel any better. Mirtazapine has totally transformed my life, I am now back in the gym feeling confident again and wanting to kick life back in the arse. At 57 I have never felt better, I keep fit, liquidise fresh fruit and veg and take, Turmeric, Green Tea and Pomegranate concentrate. The whole combo works great for me."


"Works well for my nerve pain."


"My teen daughter had the flu & was throwing up to the point of the dr possibly sending her to the ER for an iV even a sip of wAter caused her to vomit immediately.  They decided to try this drug first...it is a miracle!!!!  she was up walking around within 2 hrs & did not vomit again.   She was even able to show her horses at the fair the next day tho drinking strictly pedialyte, Gatorade G2 & Powerade zero for electrolytes (we had to start liquids by waiting 1 Hr after she vomited, then 5-10 ml every 5-10 minutes... Added this as I feel it may be helpful to others).  I am going to ask my Dr for a prescription for the future, I wish I knew about this a long time ago!  I filled the prescription at Sam's club 5 pills about $4 & worth it"


"I have been taking Geodon since it came out. It has been a godsend for me. My mood had been stable for a long time. My last hospitalization was 2002. My results have been fantastic."


"So far I have had the paragard for about 4 months and I can't complain. It's good for 10 years and after recently giving birth to my second child I love the long term option. It's been effective so far. But there are some down sides, heavy bleeding definitely is a factor is deciding if you want it. When I say heavy I mean changing a tampon almost 6-8 times a day. But in my opinion it's worth it. Also the cramps are not great. They feel like mild contractions, again to me it's worth not getting pregnant again. Insertion was not bad compared to the reviews that I read before getting it. I believe having kids factors into the amount of pain there is. Basically it was a minor pinch and that was it! That day I forgot I had even got it."


"I've had this birth control for about two years now. The first year I had it it was perfect. It was like it wasn't even there. I didn't have periods for a year, I lost access weight, my metabolism sped up, and I had more energy than normal. Then, the December of that year I took an antibiotic for either a sinus infection or strep (I forget which one) and immediately things went downhill. A got a cyst in my ovaries and this was extremely painful. Then I had crazy nonstop painful periods that would go on for months. My obgyn prescribed me with estrogen and that didn't help. I now have gained about twenty pounds and I have cellulite everywhere. I think I'll be getting it out and going solo for awhile to resuscitate my hormones."


"Starting taking for cough and chest congestion, day 1 real good, some stomach cramps could NOT sleep...day 2 some stomach cramps could NOT sleep, day 3 stomach cramps AGAIN COULD NOT SLEEP, glad i got a doctors note for work cause its 3 days and NO sleep...good for the cough but so bad for the restlessness and constant vigor !!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"I just started I'm on day two and I know I'm just starting but the previous comments about urinating all day is absolutely right I just started yesterday and I have to go all the time and I'm very thirsty afterwards I just pray I can lose 20 pounds by December I will keep you all posted I take a one week injection also good luck to you all"


"I have been on Nuva Ring for over 4 years and it was the best decision I ever made after being on the pill for a few years.  It works fantastic and even if it slips out during sex, you can have it out for up to three hours and still be protected.  I never got pregnant using this method and have been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend the entire time I've been on it.  I had no negative side effects and my periods definitely lightened. There are so many mixed reviews that I wanted to say how wonderful this method was for me but reviews can't tell you anything about how your body will react to hormones.  All you need to do is try it for yourself and if it doesn't work, try something else."


"I've had nexplanon for a month now and I absolutely hate it I have had terrible abdominal pain long periods bad cramping, extreme mood swings and it hurt like hell the day after I got it. I don't recommend."


"Only drug that will bring down my blood pressure.  I am on additional medication & none work as well as this one.  Have tried the similar drugs & had many side effects and would have to switch back each time."


"I've had eczema my whole life but the past 2 years have been the worst and I'm 30.  It's been life changing and so debilitating.  My dermatologist said I was the worst case she's ever seen after 20 years in dermatology.  I mean everywhere, tried to everything, scratching constantly, all night, in meetings, after the shower, I've lost sleep, cried a lot, been miserable.  I've been on Dupixent for two weeks and my skin has never felt so smooth!!  Cleared up about 85% of my rashes after about 4 days after my first dose.  When I sweat no itch which is so rare.  I don't wake up to dry flaky skin everywhere.  I'm so happy and amazed, I hope it keeps workin like this because my quality of life is gonna be so much better.  God this stuff is great!!"


"I am a dancer and for the past 5 years I have struggled with anorexia and bulimia.  I began noticing signs of depression as early as 13.  I felt hopeless, unloved, unworthy and extremely alone.  After 5 years I decided that I needed to change. In the spring I got a bi-weekly therapist and saw a physician and got a prescription for Wellbutrin. Within two weeks the therapist herself determined that I would be fine and no longer needed therapy. I have not had one bulimic episode since.  I went from leading a reclusive, regimented life to a fun-filled, exciting one.  I made many new friends and went from feeling so low that no one could possibly love me to finding the love of my life. Get help; this medicine changed my life!"


"Lexapro quickly lifted me out of depression and kept me that way. I was really impressed at how un-depressed I felt, and with no apparent side effects. As advertised, it worked fabulously as an antidepressent. It lifted me out of the darkness and into the, well, the GRAY. Don't get me wrong--it was great to be out of depression--just not at the expense of the glint in my eyes. My psychiatrist asked me about my relationships, and it hit me that I didn't really have any. I couldn't remember the last time I felt aroused, let alone had an orgasm. He cut my dose in half, but it didn't help. Depression decended rapidly, so he put me back on Prozac. It will work well for awhile, but for now I am back to life, love, and some mighty fine sex."


"It took awhile to go to sleep on 10 mg so I took an additional 10. Up to 20 mg is allowed. I slept great. My sleep was deep and when I had to go to bathroom twice, I wqs able to fall right back. Slept late in am. Will keep trying 10 but will take an hour before bed tonight. Has great potential for all us insomniacs."


"The side affects from this drug are AWFUL. It makes me feel sick to my stomach, I have constant headaches, a loss of appetite, a metallic taste in my mouth (the medicine itself tastes disgusting and is chalky), makes my pee very dark almost a brown color, and makes me feel very weak and weird. However, despite all of the harsh side affects, this drug does work. This is my 3rd time getting BV and each time this drug has made it go away after 3-4 days. This drug sucks, but I rather deal with the side affects than a smelly/icky vagina."


"Personally, I do not think paragard is the right form of contraception for me! I had the IUD placed on August 8th and literally bled NON STOP  until September 7th. And then I started my period AGAIN on September 25th, and the bleeding is even worse this time. I've been wearing the largest size tampons you can buy, and still have to change them EVERY HOUR or else I leak through. I've been wearing a pad every night with the ultra size tampons and still have to get up and change both once during the night! The cramps are horrendous and my sex drive is nearly non existent... I've been feeling extremely weak, light headed and very fatigued! Will be having my IUD removed asap."


"I'm a 22 year old female who was diagnosed with ADHD Inattentive subtype following my freshman yr of college.
I've been taking Vyvanse for 3 yrs now (initially 30 mg, now 50 mg) and finally feel like I'm living up to my potential. For the first time ever, I am able to stay organized, complete tasks and actually show up on time!
My only complaints are lack of appetite throughout day (ravenous at night) and the desire for a cigarette for the first 2 hrs after it "kicks in" (never crave one when I'm not taking Vyvanse).

"


"I switched to portia after being on levora (I had no side effects with it) for three years. My first period was extremely heavy but no cramps. I'm on my second period and I feel like I've gained 10 pounds from bloating. I look like I'm 3 months pregnant. I've been very irritable and had cramps and headaches during these few days.  I hate this birth control.  It's effective but its not worth  severe, uncomfortable bloating and weight gain."


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


"My mother died from lung cancer. Her last hope of this medication. Within a couple months she was gone"


"Had severe headache for 2 days.  Went to GP and was diagnosed with tension migraine. Given Toradol injection and within 30-40 min headache pain subsided. No side effects."


"I recently just started using this product because my face was really breaking out with large pimples and I can tell you all from life experience that it works!!! My face has already cleared up after a week and eventhough my face is peeling bad, I still rate the product almost a 10."


"34 male, athletic in great shape. Have dealt with minor to serious erectile dysfunction for a few years now.  Doc says my testosterone is excellent for my age and thinks the erectile dysfunction is mostly psychological.  Anyways, he gave me 10 x 20mg samples to try out. And boy am I glad he did.  What a night! Never in my life even in my teens have I had so much fun in the bedroom! Took 1 x 20mg pill after a hot shower and a couple beers. Straight to couch to "watch a movie". "


"I've had restless leg for years now. I started getting it when I was 18 now I'm 40. I tried everything, the 30/500 Co-codomol did work. I did not want to take them long term, my doctor put me on pramipexole  and they work great for me."


"Cracked dry and itchy skin on my hands is much better after three weeks of use.  I no longer fear getting my hands wet which used to cause a flare up of eczema especially on my knuckles. This is the best results I have had from any treatment in years.  The only problem I did have was after putting it on my face after shaving (as directed by my doctor) vapors from the cream irritated my eyes."


"I began Orth Tri-Cyclen at 18.  The first two or three months I was extremely emotional and would spontaneously sob for no reason on the Saturdays prior to getting my period.  After a few months, I adjusted and had a good experience with this pill.  My periods were generally 5-6 days long.  I've since began Alesse/Aviane for insurance reasons. I've experienced some hair thinning, which may or may not be caused by the pill.  My periods are light and last 3-4 days.  But I am considering switching back to Ortho to see if this helps with my hair."


"Trazadone seems to be a good drug for Insommnia and depression..however I am now on 50mgs alternate nights as I have put on a stone with it . I had being on Mitrazepam 7.5mgs prior with 2 stone weight gain..Weight is now almost more depressing than how I was prior"


"I am on my second month of that Saxenda and the biggest thing I noticed is the lack of hunger.  I take my injection around 2:00pm which is the time of my daily energy slump.  I have lost 12 lbs so far, it is the easiest weight loss tool ever.  It is expensive if you don't have insurance."


"WARNING!!!  It works great but it DOES make you gain a lot of weight!!!

I have absolutely loved this drug until a few minutes ago when I started searching for the cause of my rapid weight gain.  I never once considered Viibryd because I was told it had no effect.  Today I did a search on Bing and that search has now changed my life."


"I have been using Nuvigil for one week now.  It was working great in the beginning but after around the third day I got extremely tired around 12pm and all I wanted to do was take a nap.  I continue to take it thinking that this will change.  I only take 150mg, maybe I should ask the doctor to up the dose."


"it made the pain go away but i then had to deal with the side effects that either came with the headache or from the meds but at least the pain was gone"


"It has an opiod effect.  I forget words I've know all my life.
I am more fatigued.  My doctor prescribed it for me "because".
I haven't noticed any effect.  Coming off the drug, my foot and upper leg get shaky.  It is also a very expensive drug."


"I have been using Elidel for about two and a half years. I use it on my face because apparently it does not thin out the skin the way steroid ointments do. Elidel works great on my eyelids as long as I apply it twice a day. It works fairly well on my cheeks and forehead. I have not experienced any side effects while using Elidel."


"I have had pain for 10 years. Since taking Cymbalta I feel I have my life back. It's taken about 3 weeks for it to work, but its just getting better and better. Awesome medicine. "


"I got my first injection almost 4 weeks ago and am amazed! I've suffered since I was 29 and am now 41. I've tried every topical cream/ointment that's out there. Cortisone injections in my hands and feet that thinned my skin out so bad you can see all my veins - even spent almost $10,000 on an in home phototherapy bed with only sporadic relief. I live at the beach during the summer with my kids and this summer I had to wear a dress to my ankles to save embarrassment.

After only 4 weeks, my feet are 100% clear except for some redness and my legs are clear with the exception of light pink spots where all of my lesions were. No side effects at all so far. I've never been so happy :)"


"My husband is now taking this. The first week was not so bad, he even mentioned he felt somewhat better.  This is week 2, 20's.  And he still complains of his symptoms, he is extremely moody and sleeps ALL OF THE TIME!!!  And he still has more increases to do in the packet.  Can't wait for that. I want my husband back.  Needless to say I  do not recommend this drug."


"Hey Everybody,

Im a hard gainer - i have always struggled putting on weight and even struggled to ever feel hungry. Ive been taking Periactin for 6 weeks now and i can happily say for the first time in my life ive put on weight! I've put on exactly 6kgs; so it appears i gain about a kg a week which im completely excited about - doesn't sound a lot to most people but any hard gainers out there will know what im talking about :) Give it a go - its worth it :)"


"For eight years now, I've been on 4-aminopyridine ER, the chemical name for dalfampridine, and am now on Ampyra.  I was able to obtain 4-AP from a compounding pharmacy by prescription.  I have been astounded by the change this chemical has made in me, and, through physical therapy and exercise, by what I have been able to gain because of it.  The primary improvement for me has been leg strength, but I've also noticed some improvement in breathing, eyesight, balance and cognition, though I find no documentation to support my observations on these latter four.  When I go off of the drug, these improvements vanish until I start up again.  I've gone from power chair to forearm crutches to hiking again!  Wow!!"


"The sucrlafate has helped so much thank you."


"I've had nexplanon for about 11 months. It'll be 1 year in January 2017. I didn't bleed the first month after insertion. Then I started bleeding. I thought it was my period except be bleeding never went away. I have been continuously bleeding for 10 months (light flow but still annoying). Sometimes I get a couple days of no bleeding and then the bleeding continues.

A few months ago my NP did a test to see if I was anemic because of the bleeding and I wasn't. If you are bleeding a lot, I suggest you see your doctor for anemia check.

Honestly, I wish I had gotten the Paragard (copper IUD) but at the same time IUDs scare because I haven't had kids yet. I'm trying to wait as long as possible to see if the bleeding will regulate."


"I've had ever-worsening migraines since I was in my 40's (I'm now 73).  When they started, all that was available were drugs like Fiorinal and other mind-scrambling drugs.  Finally, the triptans came along and saved my life.  I started with Imitrex and tried the various other triptans, but Maxalt was the most effective.  I would like to share one important observation: When I first started taking triptans, I had very few side effects, and was able to function at a high-level job, run home with kids, etc.  HOWEVER, as I got older, I realized that side-effects emerged which have only gotten stronger over time. e.g. fogginess, sleepiness, nausea, etc. -- so be aware that side-effects can increase with age. Still, Maxalt is a life-saver."


"I have take tamoxifen for 6 months now, few side effects but bearable on this, very happy with them."


"Prepping for a colonoisipy tomorrow morning. First batch down. Actually taste like Murphys Oil Soap. Been an hour and fifteen minutes so far... Haven't been to the loo as of yet. Okay wait a minute... Better go now. Yea the river is flowing. No cramps though. This stuff is no joke. I hope this isn't too graphic. I just hope that the colonoisipy is as easy."


"When my doctor first put me on this I didn't like it. My sugars went up, but since I have been on it for awhile now, my a1c numbers have come down and my sugars numbers in the morning have also come down. Here lately they have been around 145 and in the afternoon they are around 106. I am impressed with toujeo so far."


"Took 500 mgs once a day for a severe sinus infection. By day 3 my nasal passages opened up, sinus pressure and pain eased up. On day 5 I felt 90% better. Infection gone by day 8. Only side effect was I slept alot but that could be because I was sick."


"Hey OP sorry I didn't read through the thread so not sure if anyone mentioned this but I used to take regular metformin 500mg 2x per day but like you I would be on and off cause it literally made me so sick and tired. But recently my new doctor recommended metformin extended release. I swear it's been a life changer for me. I take 500 mg per day and I've been losing weight and it doesn't make me feel sick at all! I've also been taking biotin simultaneously which has increased my overall mood and energy, not to mention my hair and nails have been growing too!"


"My husband was taking this and was eating late at night, getting on the computer, and doing other things and having no memory of it the day after. He felt drugged when he took it. I don't recommend it to anyone."


"It has significantly approved my acne that I have been dealing with for over 10 years. I'm 25 years old. I have only been on it 3 months."


"I used Humira after many other treatments didn't work.  Humira barely helped and after almost $1000 in Meds and Doc visits I quit everything.  "


"1 week After I delivered, I started to get cystic acne on my chin and jawline and cheek, nose, and even behind my ears. I know the cause...hormones of course! I tried so many prescription creams and over the counter acne cleans with no relief at all. Too depressing and embarrassing and I am not a big fan if foundation and facial cover ups. I was suggested Accutane but no, too many acute side effects. I tried minocycline 100 twice daily for 4 months. No side effects, got rid of all the acne and I had clear skin. The only thing I did not like is that such method of acne treatment took a long time (4 months is a long time for me) to work. Plus I was taking birth control so not really sure which helped me but the combo with the Epiduo cream at night helped!"


"I have had 8 Xolair injections for Chronic Urticaria Autoimmune and I am thrilled it took four shots to get me off prednisone and to be hive free. I one by one removed all the other medicines. I HIGHLY recommend Xolair."


"This was the very first pill I was prescribed and stayed on it for 3 years. I decided to try something new and switched to a different pill. Needless to say I'm switching back. When on Microgestin Fe 1/20 I experienced relatively no side effects besides a few pounds of weight gain and my breasts grew about 2-3 cup sizes. My skin was perfect and no nausea, depression, or painful periods. The pill was very effective in preventing pregnancy didn't have 1 scare in the 3 years I was using it. When I first started the pill probably around month 6 I did experience a decreased sex drive but it returned within about a month or two. Overall, I would highly recommend this pill!"


"I 've taken paxil in the early 90s .After a bad relationship and drinking lots. It has helped with social anxiety to a point.  But I have gone through crying periods that didn't seem right. It's soon to be Jan 1 2016 and I have noticed these electric shocks if I miss a day or 2.  And also my memory has gone to crap as well . Is this drug habit forming Yes I'm a recovering cocaine addict and free base addict.  I got off that but this plays with your brain worse ! We should be compensated for the use as guinea pigs and the torture we face to get off this medicine it does work but too much is unknown. "


"I've been experimenting with different brands of birth control for 15 years. I took every pill under the sun, including the shot but always suffered terrible side effects from nausea and vomiting, to crazy mood swings, depression, anxiety and weight gain. Yaz is the ONLY pill I've been able to tolerate. I have very minimal side effects (some breast tenderness, occasional spotting). My skin looks great, I have more energy, I haven't gained a single pound, my periods are light, I still have a sex drive, and my emotions are not all over the place. I get that everyone is different and what works for some may be a nightmare for others, but if you've not been able to tolerate any other brands I'd give Yaz a try."


"I've just started this, I've taken 2 doses and I know it's supposed to take a couple of weeks to start to work, but I can already feel a difference."


"This medicine makes me feel weak and I have a slight chest tightness after taking 4 tablets over a 2 day period. Every 12 hours I will report to doctor and not take this ever again although it was 75% effective. Chest tightness is listed under severe reactions."


"I am almost on my second pack and I have had 3 periods in the time I have been taking this. I'm constantly nauseated and feel the need to throw up &  have painful cramps the first day of each period."


"I got the Nexplanon inserted on February 17th and I'm totally happy with it so far. No spotting, I've had one period that only lasted about 9 days, and a little bit of joint pain. I have a small scar at the insertion site and I bruised really badly for about two weeks. I was really worried it would kill my libido, as was my experience with the pill, but it didn't affect it at all, in fact I feel so much more free now I enjoy sex a lot more. I would definitely recommend the Nexplanon!"


"My eleven-year-old son was prescribed adapelene cream 0.1% by his dermatologist a couple of months ago.  She said that it might turn his skin red and burn so maybe use it every other night.

The few blackheads and bumps that he had then, he still has now.  No initial breakout, just the redness with absolutely ZERO improvement nor worsening.

Why can't there be a medication that actually works BEFORE he gets a face full of zits and acne scars on his poor little ELEVEN-year-old person.

Frustrating."


"Extreme side effects include: persistent headaches, severe bloating, weak all over, muscle aches, lower back pain and excessive sleeping during the day."


"Most of my life I have struggled with severe panic attacks, general anxiety, PTSD & moderate depression. Been on meds twice before until I felt better & then I would stop taking them. This last time it had been close to a year that I had been suffering again before I decided to reluctantly go back on meds. I tried Celexa again- it worked kinda okay in the past but this time it made no improvement for me. Saw the doc who switched me to Prozac- all I can say is WOW! Best yet- I feel like my old, happy self after only 1 month! 10mg the first week, 15 the second and 20mg the last two. Give it time to work & be patient- it might make you feel a bit off & not better at first, but it is a miracle drug. These bad feelings will pass hang in there!"


"I take 40 mg every evening/ supper time. I've been on it for a while- year? maybe? It's the best thing so far, though not perfect. Have shed some excess weight = good.
Still have inadequate libido = bad.
Still have some unpleasant thoughts = bad.

It's better than:
Risperdal, which was more of a sedative.
Geodon- I didn't like the powdered capsule format. Depakote.

I feel more "normal" and healthy taking Latuda, and have stayed out of the hospital for over a decade.
Although, I have more friends, contacts, community involvement, significant other/partner, part time job, Laughter yoga, hobbies."


"This drug helped me recover from my subachroind anuerysm. It is a miracle drug. No other on the market does this. I was informed that they are no longer making this drug. I am worried in less than a month I can't get this drug. The generic doesn't have the same effect that Nimotop does and I want to know what to do."


"I've had the implant for over a year, and I have had a really positive experience. I haven't gotten pregnant, I don't have periods, and I haven't noticed any other adverse side effects. After the injection, I did have bruising around the area on my arm for a few weeks. Besides that, I would definitely recommend considering getting Nexplanon."


"I have been on this pill for six months now. While obviously the general intent of the pill has been great, sex with the boyfriend and no pregnancy scares, otherwise I am not a fan of this pill. Every month since beginning, I have had two periods a month. Also, I am twenty four and had finally gotten out of the bad acne scene of my life, and this pill has brought it back. I have gained weight, but I know that is due to the fact that my boyfriend is deployed and I have found comfort in donuts. I am depressed, but again, I don't know if that's the pill, or the boyfriend gone issue."


"I had the Implanon inserted early March of 2010. My son was six weeks old. My arm was only sore for two days and I have no scar now.  I had one period ten days after insertion and no longer have any periods.  I am breastfeeding so I am not sure if my period will come back when I stop.  I love this form of birth control. I would recommend it to people looking for something simple. I know I always forgot the pill and now I don't have to worry about it. I love this so much."


"I am an 18 year old female, 5'4", 118 lbs, currently on 40 mg of Lexapro and 80 mg of Vyvanse for anxiety and other issues. Mild nausea for the first couple days of treatment, fine after that. No other notable effects until going from 30 to 40, now noticed a somewhat decreased sex drive and some difficulty orgasming. Still deciding whether that's worth it.

Otherwise, Lexapro is decent. No fabulous turnaround for me, but definitely helping me get on with life :-)"


"This has been a miracle for me, and it was by accident I found out about it at all. I was getting urinary tract infections every other month for 4 years. Every time I would go to my doctor he would prescribe antibiotics and the UTI would go away for a month and then come back. No one, I even went to a specialist and no one could tell me what to do to prevent them. At one of my doctors visits my regular doctor was out and I saw his PA (physicians assistant) who did the same as my doctor, prescribe an antibiotic but he also told me to get acidophilus so I don't get a yeast infection from the antibiotic which happened every time I took the antibiotic. I started taking them and after 6 months I only got one UTI and none in 4 years."


"Getting nexplanon means getting stabbed in the arm. It hurts a bit but better than getting a metal spring stuck in your uterus I say. I have been period free since day 1. That's right, no period. I also have not gained any weight, and have had no issues with acne. The thing lasts three years. THREE YEARS! I am worry free, side effect free, and baby free. What more can you ask for?"


"My body was so racked with pain I could hardly move in the morning. Brushing my teeth and combing my hair were major and painful chores. After 4 days on prednisone I am almost pain free. I do experience side effects of insomnia and diarrhea but is worth it to be mobile again!"


"I had Implanon inserted in January 08. I get my half-period roughly every 9 weeks. Of course there's spotting. Half period is when you don't use a tampon, just a mini pad. I haven't used a tampon in at least 11 months. There's no need too."


"I found by accident that tramadol greatly diminishes my depression. If I knew I could take it daily without building a tolerance against it I would gladly take it for the rest of my life. As it is, I limit taking it to no more than once a week out of that fear. For just ONE DAY of my life without depression it is worth it."


"Considering going off of it.  Too many severe side effects such as painful hands and feet, tendinitis of wrists, weight gain."


"I have had chronic pain and tried many medicines including narcotics to help.  Celebrex has helped me so much.  I am able to do so many things that I couldn't before.  My doctor has me taking it with Tylenol w/Codeine #3 and Carisoprodol."


"I'm taking this medicicattion because of an odd amount of weight gain relating to hypothyroidism and that in relation to my first and only pregnancy.

Ive went from 135lbs to 169lbs in less than a year. I stressed this problem and was recommended Phentermine.

I've lost about 10lbs since taking it a month ago. I eat half of my portion sizes. I consume lighter, healthier foods. More energy.

Downsides to this new medication though are bad dry mouth in the afternoon. My heart feels like its going to burst out of my chest depending on emotions. And sleeping! I'm usually up till 12, 2, 3 o'clock in the morning sometimes. Everyday I'm awake inside but outside I don't look so good.

Going to continue another two months and see what happens."


"I have been taking Bactrim for about a year and a half now. Prior to Bactrim I took everything else. I've had acne since I was roughly 15 and am now 23. Everything I took either left me feeling crappy, or didn't work. In my experience taking Bactrim the first 2-3 months my face breaks out horribly. Then at some time in that period it just goes away. It is absolutely the best acne medication I've ever taken! I have taken it twice."


"I have good and bad things to say about this birth control. I got on it at age 15 to help with my period symptoms. I have recently become sexually active and it has so far prevented pregnancy. I experience light period yet are still sometimes painful. The worst thing for me has to be my breast tenderness and my nausea when I take it in the morning. I have anxiety and depression problems and I'm trying to figure out if it's because of the pill or not."


"Had scope on right knee 30 years ago. Meniscus tears in left knee and pains in right knee now. Cortisone for right knee did nothing so three shots of euflexxa with no pains followed. Surgery for left knee. After almost four months right knee has just stiffened without warning. Came to this site looking for answers."


"I was addicted to opiates for going on 7 years. I finally found out that taking methadone (supervised of course) helped me dramatically. I had no cravings for opiates any longer and I was still able to discontinue the methadone with the help of my counselor. And to this day I am opiate free thanks to the methadone and the support of my counselor. Methadone does work, but you have to give it at least 2 years.
"


"I went through an early menopause in my 49's and my gyn prescribed Angeliq. The only dose it came in then was .5/1. Now 10 years later I am going through menopause a 2nd time. Lucky me. My primary care tried me on multiple medications - none of which relieved my symptoms and all but 1 made me sick. Long start short I started taking the low dose version yesterday and I'm hopeful. Think I feel better already, but that could be wishful thinking. I remember feeling like myself again after about a week. I took Angeliq for about 4 years with no side effects."


"had all 3 injections. A lot of pain after 1st one other 2 not to bad. I have had no improvement at all. I am extremely disappointed."


"I have been on Kariva for almost 3 years and I have never got any bad side effects. I originally went on birth control because I get really bad cramps before I get my period, during, and after. I've tried so many birth controls and this one is definitely the best. Like someone else said, be careful at CVS because they will sometimes switch you to their preferred generic Viorele which is the worst one I have EVER been on. It gave me migraines every 3 days, it was so bad. I am a little mad because I got new insurance and I have to pay more for Kariva but it is worth it. It is definitely the best one out of this group!"


"This might be to much info but I'm gunna share.
I hate this thing. I'm exhausted all the time, mood swings, and I'm depressed.
The bleeding is ridiculous. My doctor told me I might have spotting in between periods and this is a lot more than spotting. My period usually lasts five days and I had for about 10 and then stopped for a week and now I've had it non stop for another 11. THIS SURE DOES PREVENT PREGNANCY... MOSTLY CAUSE I'M NOT HAVING SEX! I don't feel comfortable having sex when I'm bleeding heavily and my boyfriend doesn't do well with blood. He's very understanding but Its frustrating because I had high hopes for this to work and I'm disappointed"


"I started taking Doxycyline this week, and already my skin seems to be getting better. I'm 20, and recently developed bad acne on my back, as well as a mild case on my face. After five days, my skin is clearer. I haven't had any of the nausea people have mentioned, although I occasionally get cramps if I haven't eaten. I have noticed that I'm getting sunburnt easier, but that's nothing a good dose of sunblock can't remedy."


"I was on Augmentin for 6 days with virtually no results.  I woke up on the 6th day with a severe headache and called the doctor for another prescription.  Probably the worst side effect though was severe upset stomach and constipation to the point where medicines for upset stomach and suppositories did not help."


"I had extreme anxiety at first time intercourse with a new partner.  Mainly happened with girls I liked the most.  Read Paxil delays ejaculation so I asked doctor and gave it a try.  20mgs per day.  It works a little too well.  Effects do wear off, so I just use it when needed."


"Bunavail is a great alternative to Suboxone films.  There is no 30 minute wait for it to dissolve, and one can carry on with normal activities while it is adhered to the cheek.  It also has far better bioavailability, so less of the medicine is wasted in the digestive tract.  Also, I've had less headaches from Bunavail than Suboxone.  The only problem is getting them to properly adhere to your cheek.  Sometimes they roll up like a scroll, or wad up and turn into a ball of mush.  This wastes a film, and none of us have "extra" Bunavail to use if this should happen (as the manufacturer suggests)!  There are no instructions as to how long they should remain adhered, either.  I love Bunavail, but this issue is beyond frustrating!"


"I've tried a lot of medication, nutritional products, "self medication", etc... since I started having severe anxiety and depression around 1998.  I've been taking Pristiq for about a year, and it is the first medication to successfully treat both my anxiety and depression.  Most treatments made one better, while the other got worse.
The only real negative with the medicine is the short half-life. You'll definitely notice if you miss a dose.  Missing two is not a pleasant experience at all.
Since being on the medication, I've been much more productive at work, more social, more driven, more attentive to my son, and just more happy and at peace overall."


"I was given Propofol immediately before my colonoscopy. I thought it would just make me less aware but to my amazement it put me to sleep in less than 15 seconds. I woke up 45 minutes later in the recovery room and remember nothing about the procedure. I did not experience any dizziness or any unwanted things while waking up. This drug saved the day."


"I'm a 34 year-old male, work out regularly & was prescribed cyclobenzaprine for back pain related to a pulled muscle. Was used in conjunction with physical therapy and the drug helped me get sleep and function during the day by mitigating pain and spasms. Side effects: Severe constipation. Constipation persisted for over a week after I stopped taking the drug. Had to see a Doctor about it. I highly suggest taking laxatives while taking this medicine. Also made me very drowsy. Experienced dry mouth when taking at night before bed as well."


"after Beta Blockers failed to work, and made me gain 20 lbs in 90 days. Dr then tried Verapamil , While that did work better not 100%.  After a 6 months , Then became allergic to it. Rare side effect.  Then Dr put me  on Cartia XT, after a day or 2 , I felt alot better.  Cartia XT is really is controlling my PVCs from Left Vertical, 8 months going now and no side effects yet. Works better than Verapamil for me."


"I was rushed to the emergency room with a Kidney Infection and I was prescribed this to help treat the Urinary Tract Infection, the worst part was definitely the side effects, I've had extreme nausea and bloating pains, they have been unbearable. I must say the medicine really works! After I finished my antibiotics it was completely gone - I was more than surprised, I still have some side effects now (I got off medicine two days ago) but they aren't as severe as before. If you're up for the task definitely take it because it works just some obstacles in the process"


"Gave me diarrhea."


"I started taking Tri-Sprintec because I developed horrible acne all over my face. Now, almost 2 years later, skin has improved dramatically. I don't get hormonal acne anymore around my mouth and on my chin.

However, I STILL get acne, much less, but I still constantly have at least a few on my face. And if I stop using my acne cream, I break out all over. So, birth control helps, but it isn't the cure for my acne.

But, the side effects are so horrible, that I've decided to quit. The side effects I am POSITIVE are from Tri-sprintec (through a process of elimination) include constant postnasal drip (phlegm, clearing throat, stuffy nose, plugged and popping ears), really bad sore throat, nausea (even a year later), stomach aches, and dry throat"


"Chlorpheniramine right before bedtime does 2 great things for me:  (1) reduces allergic build up during sleep (if my hay fever is bad one day or my asthma increasing, often I think back and realize I forgot to take it the night before) and (2) helps me feel drowsy (a normally unwanted side effect that becomes an advantage at night).  I take the 12 mg extended release table and really suffer if I run out. GREAT!"


"I have fibromyalgia as well as muscle spasms related to lordosis and to an orthopedic problem, as well as dysmenorrhea.  Skelaxin is my rescue medicine. If I get a calf spasm in the bad leg that a hot pack and some stretching won't subdue, half a Skelaxin will do the trick, no sedation, just good work. I'd give it a ten if it weren't so very expensive!

When I have the very bad cramping related to my menstrual period, 100 mg of tramadol and 400 mg of skelaxin will make me drowsy and unfocused, but it means that while I can still tell I'm cramping, it's like someone shouting inside a house while you stand outside, and I can get on with things as needed."


"This pill literally made me miserable. Obviously everybody is different, but I felt absolutely awful the entire time I was taking it. Almost immediately after starting this pill, I began to have vicious headaches for days at a time. I also felt nauseous for a good portion of the day, and had no appetite. Maybe because of this, my energy basically disappeared, and all I wanted to do was sleep. I also started retaining a ton of water, which made me feel even more lethargic. I continued to bleed and have cramps throughout the entire pack, and I would frequently feel dizzy. On top of all of this, my mood was all over the place, and I started having anxiety that manifested as tightness in my chest and difficulty breathing."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"this stuff...... Is just...... NASTY! I started taking it at 5pm as instructed and I honestly could not do it! I had to pour crystal light in it and plug my nose and put ice in it and I still gagged! It is not good.... But I will say after one glass I was already in the bathroom. It works quickly."


"I have severe dry eye.  I was using punctal plugs and Restasis and getting about 75% relief.  My insurance quit paying for both and said they would pay for one or the other.  I have been suffering for over a year now with just punctal plugs until my eye doctor suggested Xiidra.  Believe it or not, the insurance authorized it (even though the cost is the same as Restasis...go figure).  I have been on it for about three weeks now and am getting pretty good relief.  The only thing I don't like is the bad taste I get in the back of my throat from it.  I keep hoping this will go away, but it hasn't yet.  I would say that it works better than Restasis and much faster, too!  I would recommend that anyone with dry eye give Xiidra a try."


"Needed help getting harder, longer lasting erections. First tried Cialis 10mg a month ago. Very satisfied and no side effects so. Easy use and find it effective even after 24-36 hours."


"A very mild sleep aid. This does not knock you out like Ambien will, but once asleep you stay asleep. I prefer this to Ambien CR, less side affects and less addictive. I did switch though because Lunesta just costs too much."


"For years I never had a regular period. Sometimes they would even be 6 months apart. With a busy lifestyle it is extremely hard to prepare for periods when it is unpredictable when they will be. With Yaz I have an idea of when I get them, usually exactly a month apart. It also helps my acne and I have not gained any weight. For anyone with irregular periods use this product it helps so much and you won't regret it."


"3 months ago I started experiencing numbness/tingling in my left leg, I ignored it. As time went on, the numbness took over the entire left side of my body with my head and neck full of pressure/tingling. My Gyno advised me to see a Neurologist and all the tests came back fine. I called the Gyno once again and when I got a different Doc on the phone, they advised me to get off of Tri-Sprintec, as that is one of the rare but dangerous side effects of this birth control, possibly leading to stroke. The next morning, I woke up with none of the sensation and I was shocked that it was gone so quickly. Don't wait as long as I did to tell someone. Get it taken care of as soon as possible."


"I started using Clindamycin at the end of April. It took 2 weeks for my acne to start clearing up and 4 weeks for my acne to stop all together. My doctor recommended that I continue to use Clindamycin for 8 weeks after my acne cleared. So I stopped using it this month (July).

Highly recommend this medication. Very gentle yet very effective."


"I had Liletta inserted at the end of June 2017. The procedure was quick and I felt only a mild discomfort.  I haven't had cramps but for the first 4 months I had continuous bleeding. It has finally subsided a bit but my periods are very irregular. I never know when it's going to start. After sex definitely triggers a flow...which makes me want to not even have sex. Also, the worst part is that I am always hungry. I have gained at least 10 pounds. Depression has become a concern as well. I really want to have this taken out but I don't know that any other birth control will fare any better as far as side effects."


"I also have been living with social anxiety for 7 years. After drinking alcohol to cover my anxiety and depression, my symptoms just got worse. I finally looked into lorazepam but I got a dose of 2 mg and it just knocked me out. Then I got Xanax 0.25mg and that made my face numb and I didn't like to smile, mainly my face felt weird and I was always to tired. Then finally I got 20mg Paxil and it helped right away. I felt like I could do and talk to anyone at anytime. Then I got used to it and jumped to the 30 mg which is doing alright. But the worst part of using this is constipation. I never had constipation before and it hurts so bad. I hope this helps."


"I've been battling ptsd since a kid. I tried celexa for two months and it didn't do anything so I quit taking it, 6 years later I went to a different Dr who prescribed me Zoloft. Started with 50mg for two months and bumped up to 100mg. It does take a few to get use to but the side effects go away with a week or two. This drug it's not drowsy, and actually works. I'm talking more, coming out of my shell. Laughing. Doing stuff again. All I can say give it a chance I say two months, off not working talk to Dr and try something else..I have tried something else...and this is working great so far. The heavy weight that held mange captive in my depression was lifted within the first two weeks. Two thumbs up so far. And affordable, I get generic"


"I've been experimenting with this drug for over a year. I have pages of stuff to say but that is not what this is for.

I know that I won't be able to use this forever but I have no choice but to do what works for now. With a lifetime of struggle, this negative reinforcement is the only thing that has ever worked.

I want to warn anyone that takes this medication. I have tried every combination of dose vs time laps and alcohol quantity, including smoking alcohol. That 2 week gap between your last dose and your first drink, do yourself a favor and stick to it. What happens if you don't is unpredictable. I have experienced nothing to severe reactions not even found on the net."


"I was on Keppra for a year and unfortunately I kept having  seizures. My doctor added Topamax to Keppra and it helped but I was still having seizures about every other week. I finally decided to go off Keppra and increase the Topamax dosage and I have been seizure free for over two months."


"Emotional mess...definite decrease in libido....not my favorite birth control. Great with acne...super duper hungry!"


"I switched from Nuva Ring which made my vaginal very dry, irritated non stop light bleeding. I also developed gross acne. 2 hours after I put this patch on I stopped bleeding. My acne is clearing up and my vaginal stays very very wet. I am noticing it's easier for me to cry and I'm sleepy most days, but my sexual arousal has been spiked and hasn't dulled my ability to orgasm like my previous birth controls did. Overall I'm happy. I'm hoping the sky high estrogen content doesn't cause harm. I need the estrogen though."


"This medication was okay, I guess. It made me have spotting constantly, so I had to go off it pretty quickly. Not the best choice for me."


"I've been on Depakote for 2 weeks now. Not one single migraine. I was having them 2-3 times a week, and less severe tension headaches daily. I haven't even had the tension headaches twice now. I have not gained any weight as of yet either."


"If you don't want kids its great. Please do you research before you touch it. I know it may work well for some people, but all I will say is you were warned fair and square..!!!!!"


"I've been on this medicine for 6 weeks now, almost 2 weeks of those at the maximum dose of 600mg per day. I've been very up and down during that time. There was initial mild euphoria the first couple of days, then good days and bad after that.

That said, after trying 3 SSRIs, 3 Tricyclics, plus trazodone and mirtazapine - pregabalin is probably the best drug to combat GAD that I have found so far."


"After all the years of other medications that either didn't work or I had a reaction to I was prescribed otelza. It was working.No more psoriatic arthritis pain. I didn't have any side effects and it also cleared up my psoriasis. Amazing. I did lose some weight but that was ok. Unfortunately my insurance company decided not to cover this drug and I couldn't afford it. After running out I had a bad relapse within a month. I got so sick from the relapse and  I ended up losing my job. My rheumatologist is fighting to get it back. It truly was the only medication that worked for me."


"Made me extremely agitated and nervous during the night, very disappointed and actually scared after taking it.  Very expensive as well."


"I don't know how anyone can tolerate this drug. It made my anxiety ten times worse, gave me bad thoughts, and made me feel like a zombie for 2 weeks. I think experiencing this medication and then getting off it helped my anxiety much more than the medicine itself did."


"I have acid reflux and I love food, sometimes or most of the time I eat too much of the wrong foods and pay for it. Phillips mom relieves the pressure and is a blessing when I'm stuffed up and no bowel movement occurs so there's only discomfort. I also sleep so much better after going a cpl times, thank God for this magical medicine."


"I am up to three pills a day. Lost 8 pounds so far. The best part is since I don't have cravings, I was able to stop drinking pop and only drink water now. I can eat reasonable amounts of food without the compulsive need to eat more, more, more. Recommend!"


"I was only on the pack for one month and had to stop as soon as I started the second one. During the sugar pill week, I had severe migraines which is something I never get. Those continued and then nausea was added to it. I threw up the other day and it looked as if I didn't digest any of my food from that day. This is definitely just a personal experience, but I am also definitely going off this pill asap. I got my period for 6 days so I'm definitely not pregnant. (Also took two pregnancy tests as an extra test) If you're looking for a pill, I would try a different brand."


"Hives. Saw weird things and paranoia."


"Say No To Depo!

Say No To Depo!

Say No To Depo!

Say No To Depo!

Worse experience of my life! been off for almost a yr and im still bleeding, body seems like it just want return back to normal. That stuff is poison!. I will never get back on Any birth control don't care what it is"


"I was on synthetic thyroid medicine and I was still miserable. I strongly recommend having your doctor switch you over to armour thyroid. It is amazing. I have energy, my hair isn't breaking off, I lose weight when I exercise. I absolutely love it."


"The label states 12 hour relief.  It worked great for the 1st 4 1/2 hrs. Now I can't take another dose for 12 hrs? Seriously? So what am I suppose to do? Over priced product that doesn't seem to work. Will not be buying this again."


"I don't know why everyone is taking their doses so late. My doctor said to take at 12 and 5. Last time I did this I was up all night and was not going to do that again. I took my first dose by using a straw and drank all at once then drank water immediately after wards.  It took effect 30 minutes later and was on toilet for 2 hours straight. I had my i-pad, phone, petroleum jelly so decided why try running to bathroom every few seconds. Took 2nd dose at 5 and everything was same as first one only this time I was a lot more raw. Did get the chills on the second dose for awhile. Its now 7:30 and hopefully things have slowed down and I can get a good nights rest and get this over at 7:45 tomorrow.  Craving a cheeseburger and fries."


"I was prescribed this medicine for stress and anxiety to take along with my clonazepam. Have been on Celexa for only two days now and am having bad sexual side effects (unable to orgasm). Will stop this medicine asap. "


"I had been on a couple of medicatios, the best of which for me was Copaxone.  In fact, I had relatively few symptoms and it wasn't really visible.  Then I started Gilenya because it was supposed to be so much better, and oral, to boot.  I have lost so much function in terms of walking and balance in the last two years.  I went back to Copaxone but am afraid that I will never regain what I lost"


"I have been using Cymbalta for two of years for neuropathic pain in my feet. It works very well most of the time at the 90mg dose I am taking daily. There are days when I have done some activity that aggravates my back and I have to take an extra 30 mg. This helps but I experience the hot flashes at the 120 dose. I do not have the night terrors but there are times when I have run out of the prescription and if I have not had it for a day I get very vivid dreams. They are not scary but if I wake up from one I'm up until I settle my brain down. Erectile Dysfunction has been a problem and I address it with Cialis or Viagra which are expensive even with my coverage. Reducing the dose to 60mg the day before sex helps."


"I've only had nexplanon for two weeks but I really wanted to leave a review on the tremendous weight loss I've had. Since getting nexplanon two weeks ago, I've already lost 15 lbs with no change in diet or exercise! This is absolutely amazing seeing as though I decided to change my birth control from depo due to the ridiculous 60lb weight gain I had in less than a year on that. I'm ecstatic! Insertion was really quick and easy, the healing process wasn't too bad. It's been two weeks and I still have some bruising but other than that no soreness. First week was awful for my mood, however, but it passed. If anything sways my mind differently later down the road I'll leave another review but as of now.. I'd recommend this to everyone."


"Works like magic when you need sleep or have anxiety 0.5 is all I need I get the best sleep with it. Seems like I can never fall asleep at night I go back and forth in my mind about taking it because I don't wanna get addicted . But I need sleep so I take it"


"I have used this medicine in cream form and have excellent  results."

"My 23 year old son was diagnosed with a portal vein thrombosis.  There was no reason, and after extensive testing still unable to determine why this happened to him.  He was placed on Xarelto, and 3 months later, the thrombosis has completely cleared.  He had very minimal side effects (some oral bleeding, fatigue, occasional headache) and I was thrilled he didn't have to deal with Coumadin.  He is anxious to be done with the medication, but overall it has been pretty easy to deal with."


"My first week on Chateal. Feel depressed and annoyed. Have numbness in legs, tightness in chest. I feel very bad"


"Epiduo is the best thing that's ever happened to my skin. I wasted so many years trying every product out there, and Epiduo really is the greatest. It has changed my life and made me so much more confident. PLEASE give this a try. It is a miracle in bottle."


"I read all the negative reviews out there before taking this medicine. Of course I was scared out my mind after reading some of the stories but I can tell you, you'll be fine. I've had dry lips and skin but besides that, just a clear face so far. (3 months in)"


"I have not gotten pregnant while on Nexplanon, so that's good. That being said, I have an appointment with my GYN to see about getting it removed. Before I got the implant, my cycles were very regular (every 27-29 days,lasting about 4-5 days). They warned me when I got the implant my cycle may change or stop; what actually happened is I now run 35-50 days between cycles and they last for 7-12 days. I have also experienced significant weight gain and mood shifts. I suffer from depression, and I've felt like I've been having a mild episode almost the entire time I've had the implant. Also, my face is breaking out like it did when I was in middle school. No thanks."


"This summer I've broken out severely. I've tried Proactiv, AcneFree, and Clean and clear Advantage. Proactiv didn't work at all and AcneFree was very harsh on my skin! Clean and Clear did help but not that much. I finally went to the doctor and she prescribed Differin. I've been taking it for a couple of weeks now and I am starting to see a difference. I've even noticed that my acne scars are healing and getting lighter. I haven't got any of those huge- hurt your face pimples either."


"I am 50 years old and have suffered with severe psoriasis for 45 years. I've tried every treatment known to man and the best is Stelara. I was clear by the second injection and no side effects. I did take a study injection years ago and it worked but made every joint and muscle in my body swell and pain. Needless to say I stopped taking the medicine.  I have been taking injections now for 10 years and my blood work is always perfect so there doesn't seem to be any long term effects."


"I started taking Qsymia in November 2012. I tipped the beams at 264lbs, by July I was down to 199lbs and had a heart attack!  Don't be alarmed, the doctors all said it was nothing to do with the medication. It was a blockage due to all the crap I had ingested over the years. I'm still currently taking Qsymia still at 200 lbs. I'm not exercising like I was and I can eat anything I like in moderation. I feel great, dropped 4 pant sizes and 2 shirt sizes. With no side effects after the first couple weeks. So does it work??? YES... But it's expensive!"


"I was in the E.R. for my usual anxiety waiting to be sent to a Mental health treatment facility.  I lay there for seven hours. I tired but I could not sleep. It's like the voices around me were getting louder and louder.  I eventually exploded. It took three security people and nurse stuck me in my thigh from a distance with Ativan, it was great. The Anxiety demons went away and I felt normal. I was later prescribed Ativan. I've tried many medicines in my twenty seven year battle with Depression and Social anxiety and anxiety and O.C.D. and P.D.S.D. Nothing works like Ativan."


"What a waste of money I paid a copay of $400 for 3 injections in my left and right knee. I am bone on bone they are worst now after the shots ortho visc should be investigated for false claims on what their product doesn't do, very dissapointed.  I tryed to complain on their site but there is no contact us on their page"


"I started on the patch approximately 6 yrs ago with a 0.50 patch for low back pain. Due to withdrawal symptoms on the third day, (sweating, chills, fatigue) I was increased to a 0.75 patch and then again to a 0.100 patch. I've been on it for two years and with the exception of the first 36-48 hrs. I have side-effect problems that are terrible. I have lost all my upper teeth due to gum loss and decay, this just after spending $2000 to get my teeth put into shape.  I go from hot flashes and drenching sweats to chills every 10 to 15 minutes.  I have severe backache, headache and urine retention. The patch did wonders for my pain, but long term, the side-effects aren't worth it for me."


"Hello everyone; Let me say that upon using Spiriva the first time I noticed that I no longer have severe breathlessness (which developed from Pneumonia July 2012 fro surgery complications). Let me also say IMPORTANTLY if anyone has bronchitis in the lungs to please do whatever necessary to clear it up, if anyone smokes QUIT! Don't wait like I did to have a dangerous bronchial attack, in my case I was at the E.R to get a jet-nab treatment when it hit, was told had I been away from the hospital I wouldn't have survived, since that night 10/19/2011 I haven't touched one cigarette, not even one drag. I also concur that I'm not having to use my albuterol like I was."


"I started take this at 30mg a week ago. I have been on so many different medicines none of them work but after only a couple of days I was feeling much better. I drove my car for an hour last night for the first time. 2 years ago I got electrocuted on 440 and I started getting the worse panic attacks. I could not get out of bed most days. I have been on every medicine they make for this. None of them worked but in a week on Cymbalta I feel like I'm almost my old self again. I just turned 25 and I have a 2year old son. So thank you Cymbalta. The only side effect is I can not sleep at all. Maybe an hour here or there but I have not been tired."


"I had no side effects. It was so easy for me."


"I am so glad I was given this medicine for a week. Within 24 hours it was allowing me to live again. Thank you."


"I've been on Kadian for 8 months (car accident 3 years ago, suffering from extensive postural and disc and recently diagnosed PTVS symptoms since). I'm 22 and started feeling able to live my life again after taking Kadian (10mg 2 x day) and it seemed to make my mood better. It no longer works at current dose and doctor won't move up a dose, and doesn't believe in short-acting medicines. First 6 months it really did wonders and gave me a lot of my life back. Constipation is brutal with this medicine - I take Miralax daily with some relief. Withdrawals are horrific."


"I started Saxenda in April 2016.  I immediately noticed that I had no craving for food.  I felt full quicker and ate less.  Total weight loss 36 pounds.  I was paying out of pocket and stopped after 5 months.  While taking it I felt great, with relief from other physical issues I had. Within 2 weeks of stopping Saxenda my appetite was returning and the food cravings were back.   I am aware of the fact that I have to manage my diet.  This is a great drug, but unless it can be taken on a regular basis, it's temporary.  Since stopping I am up 4 pounds."


"In my 3rd week of taking Zyban. I smoked as usual for the 1st 2 weeks 1 pack a day. Slowly I started smoking less frequently and only half a cigarette at a time. I am now not smoking at all and more importantly I dont even think about smoking. I have trouble falling asleep at night....but so far thats the only side effect I am experiencing. I am finally on the road to being a non smoker for the 1st time in 24 years."


"I suffered from depression and anxiety all through university. Effexor helped me finish my degree and I couldn't be happier. Everyone can react differently, just pay attention to your body."


"The last time I had a YI i used Monistat and it was no problem, so when I got one recently I didn't even think twice when I purchased it again. I'm on day 1 of the monistat 7 and I'm regretting every moment of inserting it into my vagina. The itching and burning is 10 times worse than the actual YI itself and sleeping will more than likely be impossible. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone."


"I have been using Topamax for 1 year and I have not had a migraine in a year.  Before taking Topamax I was in bed for 9 months with a migraine headache."


"Not worting for me so far. Taking .5 as per doc & still cant sleep"


"I've heard so many bad, scary things about Accutane. Eventually, I came to a point where I was questioning all this bad press. What's the worst that could happen?

I am glad that I looked past the negativity and gave Accutane a try. I have never felt so "normal" in my life. The acne on my back is finally clearing up. I don't have to spend an hour in the bathroom each day messing with lotions, cleansers, creams, gels, whatever. I'm only a couple weeks into it, but I'm not even getting chapped lips or dryness. Just clear skin. Thank you, Roche!"


"Prepping tonight for tomorrow's procedure.  I'm now in the restroom for a while so why not do this?  Taste isn't great.  Smells like cough syrup and tastes like salty,  watered down, Nyquil in my opinion.  I chugged it; finishing the first dose in about 10 minutes.  It kicked in after about 20 mins. I am tiny bit nauseous, but no headache as I've seen on other reviews. Bowel motion is literally water and at first couldn't even feel it. Now, after my 3rd trip, things are pretty raw. I'm using a toilet paper, baby wipe, vaseline combo."


"I am 18 & Kariva was the first birth control I was prescribed. Definitely does it's job birth-control wise, there was some prolonged spotting after my first period on the pill but my flow was steady after that. No weight changes, however I noticed it did nothing to help my acne, which was a factor in starting birth control. My first week on the pill, I experienced heavy nausea & diarrhea, so first timers keep that in mind. The worst part about the experience in general was the mood swings. I have always been an anxious person by nature but Kariva increased my level of self-conciousness, stress, & feeling of uneasiness. I also experienced some bouts of depression. All in all it could work well for some, but I have just switched my b.c. brand"


"I realize I'm only in this for 3 days now but, oh gosh, the first day I took the medicine I ate an entire Mexican feast, the second day, did a little better only ate one meal, the third day, I'm sitting here eating a little debbie oatmeal pie. I pray the next level after the 2 week trial, is more effective.  I refuse to pay 223 dollars for something that may or may not work."


"Tried Nebido but I felt sick from it so I moved back to Testim and got stable levels, makes me feel fantastic. Its sticky for a few minutes but keep on rubbing and you will be ok, have in mind how much work women have to do with makeup and everything will feel better. The smell is not great to men but fertile women love it, there estrogen will attract to the pheromone included in testim called Pentadecalactone. I get sooo many women from the smell alone. I use one testim per day and one testogel, the Pentadecalactone will help to absorb it but the smell of two is a bit much so I use one of each."


"The insertion of the iud was painful.  Afterward I experienced cramping & spotting for 2 days.  About a week later I experienced acne.  Luckily I have teens and I use their acne gel.  A few weeks later my right foot and ankle was swollen.  I used ice, elevate my foot and when that didn't work I went to the Doctor.  The X-ray didn't show anything wrong.  My ankle hurt in I small area and it was difficult to walk without limping.  I began reading reviews about iud side effects and sure enough a swollen ankle is a side effect.  I had to purchase an ankle wrap to ease the pain.  I had the iud inserted 3/15 for irregular bleeding due to peri menopause.  I'm going to Try to keep it as long as I can hoping the swelling will completely go away soon"


"My son has been on this medication since he was four.  He is now 8.  He has been a tough child and I have had some suspicion that something is awry.  After reading some of the responses, I had an ah haw moment.  He has been irritable and having tantrums lately.  It is rare that he is happy.  He nags and whines.  He has no asthma symptoms but I'm not sure if this is due to this medication or he has outgrown it.  I am taking him off this medication and see if I see a change in his disposition."


"I am a 62 year old male who just entered the VA medical system. I have been taking Amlodipine for about 40 days and am now having intermittent swelling of my ankles and feet. This is new in my life. I have had ringing in the ears for over 30 years,  and I am able to ignore it. But I have noticed it getting louder also. This is a symptom in 1% of new patients. I will see my doctor and the Pharmacy tech in the next 3 days. Sleeping with my feet elevated over my heart worked well last night. I will ask to get off this calcium channel blocker and check for side effects on the new one. This product is also for Angina, I don't have that. Just elevated blood pressure."


"My daughter had had horrible acne for years.  Nothing has worked, tried everything except birth control pills.  She had her wisdom teeth pulled and was prescribed this and within 3 days her face was clear.  Totally amazing! Shocked to find such a simple solution that has not given her any side effects."


"I use it on cuts and scrapes for the whole family and it significantly contributes to healing with no side effects. We only apply it a couple times a day, for just a few days."


"I was hooked on pain killers for over 5 years and was taking 30 to 35 pills a day and did so for more than 1 year. I have been taking Suboxone for almost 3 years, under my doctors orders. Suboxone has saved my life. It is a wonder drug as far as I am concerned. Thank you suboxone and I sure hope other drug addicted people find this wonder drug to help them save their life like it did mine."


"I started taking Effexor in 1995. I had GAD with some depression. For some reason, I let the Dr continue prescribing for 12 years, I was only on 75mg and since it worked, I did not want to temp fate. Last year I started to have worse anxiety and went to one of the highly regarded MD's in NYC. He prescribed Remeron and Effexor. Eventually the dose was increased from 75 mg to 300mg. It had no beneficial effects. Worse is getting off of it. I'm now down to 37.5 mgs over the last two weeks. The brain zaps and anxiety are tough. I think this drug should be illegal, The withdrawal effects are awful. I recommend trying something else unless this is your last resort."


"This has worked better then anything else I've tried. I have gained weight though and I still get the flashes of light and dark spots. "


"Best medication EVER! After 2 years of feeling angry and upset and constantly fighting with my husband (over stupid things) and having suicidal and self harm thoughts purely from severe depression, I am now feeling 100% absolutely fantastic ALL the time thanks to Pristiq! Before I could barely get out of bed now I have heaps of energy to last all day and am constantly on the go. I LOVE how this medication makes me feel. I'd highly recommend trying this antidepressant."


"I took 3 doses of levaquin and stopped it. I now have joint pain, constant tendonitis
and vision problems.  I hold Drs accountable for all of the damage done by this class of drug. For God's sake levaquin is used to treat anthrax infections, it should NOT be used for ear infections, UTIs or sinus infections. It should only be used if the other option is death. I'm serious, if you have a life threatening infection, use it because you have nothing to lose from it but otherwise never take it."


"I was on this medication since 2006. I had no side effects or problems. It worked well, we had to keep increasing my dosage on it though. I also combined it with Depakote, which apparently raises your Lamictal levels. Yes you can become toxic on this medication like Depakote. I had to get off the medication because I became toxic, I was taking 300mg a day and 1250mg of Depakote daily. My symptoms were drunk look, double vision, slurred speech, short term memory loss, I started bumping into walls, my eyes were glazed over. I just got stupid towards the end. I even went to the hospital telling them I was toxic, they did not believe me. It can happen, I guess I became intolerant of the medication."


"I tried Tanzeum for a month before giving up on it.  The first week I experienced nausea and headaches but willed myself to continue on.  By week two I was having joint pain in my hands and feet, but did not attribute the pain to Tanzeum.   The joint pain increased each day, my entire body suddenly felt like an 90 year old.  My hips hurt, it was difficult to walk up stairs etc.  Finally connected the dots and stopped the injections.  Over the next 2 to 3 weeks the pain gradually disappeared.  Wouldn't try it again."


"I would not recommend this to anyone. This is the most painful and constant cramps that I've ever been through."


"Was given this for the shingles.
Works great.
Tends to not work as well if taken too much.
Dizzy and nauseated when I move but can tolerate."


"Does nothing may as well take sugar pills"


"I am a 27 year old first-time oral birth control user, and started on Levora 11 days ago. I know side effects are supposed to last for a few months then even out, but I don't know if I can handle a few months of this! It has hit me in phases! The first phase was headaches (which I never get normally!), breasts sore beyond belief, and exhaustion. That has now shifted to hot flashes with lightheadedness followed by anxiety and LOTS of crying! I have also been constantly nauseous. Thinking of food makes me nauseous, but I'm also starving and feel like I can't eat enough! All I can hope is that this is also a phase and it will even out and I'll just have to tough it out. But if it doesn't ease up I think I'll have to try a different pill. "


"I'm 13 and sweat extremely badly. I can be sitting in my room with my fan on high and have sweat dripping from my arm pits. My mom never believed me, so when I went to the dermatologist for my acne I asked about sweating. She gave me Hypercare. I've been using it for weeks and not 1 thing has changed. "


"Ive been on contrave a little over a month. No side effects for me. Lost 15 pounds already."


"I been on Apri for 3 weeks now and I feel that I been eating a lot. It is non-stop eating, all day long. Am always hungry and I haven't checked my weight. I been on 3 different birth control pills in less than 3 months and I think that Apri is alright so far. No mood swings, some acne though. I was nauseous on the very first day I took the pill and I am still sensitive to smells. It made my period lighter and shorter so far."


"IThe effects of this far out weigh the problem it was meant to solve . I was given this for  bacterial infection of MRSA (after researching this should NOT) be given for MRSA at all (Clinical Advisor) . I was given this on Oct 5th , 2015 . October 8th I was making dinner for and my legs (lower legs/bi-lateral) began to hurt terribly . Began shaking and became weak. I sat down after the shaking subsided , it took everything I had to stand up , the pain was mind-blowing .  Ever since then I have had numerous tests done to rule out ???? whatever they seemed to think it could be . I was finally told by my PCP that it was the effects of Levaquin . It will be a year soon and I still suffer with weakness , shakiness and extreme Pain . My life has changed for the worse ."


"It really works for me."


"I asked on this site about my taking 300 mg lamictal for 2 weeks after titrating up and not seeing consistent results. A couple of you suggested I split the dosage and take twice a day. Well, good news! After a couple of days, I started feeling consistently better. If anyone is going through what I was, I recommend you talk to your doctor about dividing the dose. Thanks for all your help. I am getting my life back so I want to help others!"


"I have severe all over body pain. I asked my doctor for Lyrica, but my insurance wouldn't cover it so doctor substituted gabapentin. I have only taken it for 3 days 300mg a day. It has certainly helped the pain, but I have a terrible cough so bad that my sides are sore and I have a restless feeling. I will continue on it because anything is better than the pain."


"After taking Orlistat for one month eating sensibily, no junk, plenty of fruit hardly any exercise because of my disability I am overjoyed and ecstatic to have lost 10 pounds."


"Started out taking 20 mg of prozac for depression, anxiety, bi-polar disorder and pre-menopause. First two weeks I had mild side effects after week 3 I feel really good. I have not had a hot flash in 6 months I was very skeptical about prozac working for menopause but as my doctor stated give it sometime before expecting results and he was absolutely correct. Who knew?"


"(continue) I get a feeling like my poor uterus is being stabbed , also horrible back pain, gained so much weight horrible acne and even more discharge like white stuff inside my vagina ( I never had that in my life) it grosses me out .   I want to get it removed as soon as possible"


"I was diagnosed with a UTI about 2 weeks ago and was put on this medicine for 7 days. The burning and urgency symptoms went away, but I still feel "uncomfortable". I called my doctor and she refilled my prescription, so after another 7 days if I'm not better, I will go back in to see what's going on.

I take the pill once in the morning and once at night (with food).

Symptoms: I've taken this medication before and maybe it's just me, but I feel like my mood changes when I'm on it. I feel super emotional and just get super upset and even feel angry at times. So ready to be off of it in a few days..."


"This is the only drug that makes it possible for me to drive long distance or function due to the nausea I get when I get migraines. No other motion sickness medicine works, and I've tried everything.  I never go anywhere without it. When they quit making it for a while, I had to use suppositories and they worked too, just not quite as long or completely. I hope they never quit making it, I would be in trouble."


"My son has recently been taking just Seroguel - they took him off all his others and is doing much better.  He's only 14 so he doesn't say much the family has noticed quite an improvement."


"I have always been prone to YIs, but this is the worst experience I've had thus far. I've never experienced the burning and itching with treatment. It's always felt better as soon as I began treatment. I was actually worried that something else was wrong and wondering if I should start asking my boyfriend some questions. Glad I read these reviews before I got too worked up! Lol!
Sheesh! The burning and itching is pretty bad and I'm only on night 2. I'm very uncomfortable, but hopefully it will subside as I get further into the treatment."


"I switched to Loestrin to alleviate migraines from my last set of pills, and it worked alright. They aren't as severe but still persist. Otherwise, I have 2 day periods with no cramping, perfect skin, and no mood swings! I recommend it if you have any issues with acne, cramping, or irregularity."


"My mother has been treated with the Exelon (patch) for two years now. Last month she was changed to Namenda. She has become irritable, aggressive/depressed and more confused than before. We are asking the doctor to switch back to Exelon."


"Went off lipitor after about 7 years followed by crestor for 2 years. I experienced muscle pain and nightly heartburn. Started Livalo after being off Crestor for 60  days to make sure it was the statin that caused the muscle pain. It was. Now experiencing no muscle pain with Livalo and to my surprise no heartburn. Had no idea that lipitor and crestor caused the heartburn. Had NMR bloodtest last week. Livalo is amazing. Triglicerides plummeted, cholesterol particle size went up nicely and insulin resistance went from pre-diabetic which it has been for 5 years to no risk. If your Dr. doesn't do NMR test you may be taking statin unnecessarily. My cardio Dr. doesn't even want to know what traditional HDL and LDL numbers are."


"I have been on this antibiotic for 6 days for pneumonia  and while the cough has slowed way down, I am having severe chest pain. I am thinking it's because when I do have a coughing fit it's violent, Brutal. I only have one more dose at 500 mg and I am worried I'm relapsing, though no high temp I feel almost like I started out. I am now trying herbal teas, garlic, Rosemary and Kombucha. I just started these so I'm praying it will all work as a team. No side effects only a little queasy!"


"after spending 4 days in a mental hospital for alcohol detox I was put on campral i was a 2 liter of rum a day DRUNK now after 5 days without a drop I feel GREAT!! I cannot stress the benefits I have and continue to receive my medicare\medicaid is even paying for it"


"My sleep doctor prescribed this for me (I have sleep apnea) because I kept waking up at the slightest noise or movement from my husband. I take 100 mg before going to sleep and I can say it has changed my life for the better.  I can sleep for a solid 7 to 8 hours with little drowsiness in the morning.  In addition, it has helped my depression symptoms, although it may also be the better quality of sleep I get."


"I just got my Paraguard removed after 5.5 months. I was having cramps that made me yelp aloud and miss work, my periods were very heavy (like overnight pad plus a heavy tampon every two hours), and I had regular nausea. I really wanted to have a hormone free option but those side effects were too, too much. I'm pretty sensitive to hormones but it comes very recommended by many women. I'm 33 and have never had kids."


"Have been taking amitriptyline for 6 weeks for migraines/neck pain (nerve and muscle problems in my neck are migraine triggers). Was getting migraines 2-3 times a week; sometimes lasting 2 days. Worst migraines include vision changes and vomiting. Began at 10 mg, and had less neck pain, but still migraines (less intense than usual). Went to to 20 mg, but found it too sedating (lethargic all day). Back on 10mg, but am going off it because of side effects. It affects my sense of taste (doctor says it increases sense of smell). Strong-smelling foods repel me, and I crave/gobble carbohydrates. I've gained a pound a week (I was thin before). My ears ring, I get dizzy, libido is nil. Feel dead inside. Am weak when I exercise. "


"I'm stopping smoking for years now, tried everything. And I mean EVERYTHING, and repeatedly. I thought this is not going to happen, ever. Then I started Chantix and it is over 4 months now that I did not have a single cigarette. Even though these urges are still there, it definitely takes the edge of it, and makes quitting manageable.
True - you also have to be ready. I just hated it lately, the smell, the whole thing - but was unable to say "no" to it. It is disgusting, nasty habit, and I'm so glad that I did it. I'll NEVER pick up a cigarette again, after all that I have to go through to finally make it. Good luck folks - Chantix works! I didn't even have to finish it all - stopped taking it about half way through the second box."


"I was given two injections of Elgard before beginning radiation therapy.  Following the
48 radiation treatments, I am still being monitored by my oncologist and urologist.  My last PSA was 0.01.  The side effects of hot flashes, lethargy, and muscle weakness are where I am today, although at my age, 79, I can't complain.  The first of the injections was in April of 2008 and the second in August. Radiation  began in early September 2008 and ended at end of October.

It was determined that I am not a candidate for Androgel as there is a possibility of developing cancer again.   So, as you read from the preceding paragraph, I'm lucky
to have passed my first year without problems."


"I am on Day 2 of taking Saphris and I think it is a miracle. My doctor put me on 10mg at bedtime and I have slept like a baby for the first time in 3 years. He kept me on 1200 mg of Trileptal  also at bedtime for mood swings. He also added Neurontin to take 4 times a day with my Klonopin. Yesterday I actually got out of bed and cleaned my apartment from top to bottom happily. I feel wonderful. I'm not tired or hung over and my mood is great. Also my anxiety is almost gone. I have not had any auditory or visual hallucinations so far. I have noticed that I eat like crazy for about 30 minutes after I take Saphris but then I get dizzy and fall fast asleep and don't wake up until morning."


"I've had nexplanon for 6 months. I have gained 10 lbs which is what I didn't want to happen especially right after having a baby! I have been having anxiety attacks out of nowhere. The spot where it's located in my arm hurts from time to time. I have been spotting for a constant 3 weeks. I may end up getting it removed before the 3 years."


"Take my 2, 8mg Suboxone when I awake keeps me from any signs of withdrawal and also keeps my mind off of the wanting to use best thing I could have ever came across probably would have been dead. Feel like a million bucks no more chasing, stealing or feeling like garbage thanks to the one for this miracle."


"I used this product for about 6 months. I have very sensitive skin (benzoyl peroxide is my biggest allergen) Aczone gave me a similar reaction to benzoyl: dry burning red patches all over my face. not good if your skin is sensitive and prone to rashes."

"I took Micardis on and off for over two years.  It caused me to have  leg cramps.  It controlled my blood pressure, but I would avoid taking it at times because of the leg cramps.  I developed severe hip and leg pains, which I think may have been caused by the Micardis.  I have switched to another blood pressure medicine in the last couple of months and I'm hoping the hip and leg pains will continue to subside."


"Both my mom and I got episodes of anxiety after trying this."


"I read a lot of horror stories online before I got the Mirena so I was concerned, but willing to give it a try. I think it's great - but there were a few bad points in the first few months of the medication.

Insertion was very uncomfortable, cramping followed by cramps lasting for six hours and light soreness for a couple of days (I have no children). I had a light period lasting for over one month after insertion, and really weird brown discharge after that for several months. I didn't notice a change to my libido. I felt "aware" of the Mirena for a while. But I stuck with it.

It's a year since. I have no symptoms - no mood swings, no skin issues, no weird bodily functions. I don't have a period anymore or any cramping - it's awesome!"


"I was on the ortho Tori cyclin lo all of my high school years. Never had acne, 3 day periods, no cramps, no bloating, and actually believed it was impossible to gain weight on it. Coming to college the price of $110 was too much so I went to the generic. 2 months in I've gained 20 pounds, horrible cramps, and have horrible acne. Switching birth controls after this pack."


"I have been on Seasonique since grade 10 of high school because my periods were very irregular. For the first year and a half it worked perfectly with no side effects whatsoever. But now every third month of the pack, I spot heavily the whole time. I have brought more liners and pads then I ever would have had to. I absolutely love having my period only 4 times a year but now its like I'm having a month long period every 3 months. I am considering switching to something else because I don't know if I can keep living with it. If anyone has an explanation for why this is happening please share it with me."


"This medicine has been faithful to me and my seizures."


"I am looking for a jump start on my weight loss and my Dr. prescribed Belviq for 60 days. I started taking the pills 7/31/15 and return to the Dr.today 8/7/15 and have lost 1lb.
I was 360lb and now 359lbs. I only take 1 per day because I was afraid of side effects reviews I read.
I'm not a diabetic and have not had any side effects.
So far so good. And planning overtime to increase to 2 pills per day."


"Week two on the Qsymia. Lost 1.8 lbs this week.  I am still feeling great. Tomorrow I move up to the next level. None of the side effects that I have read about."


"Medicine information says "watch for changes in mood or behavior". My experience with my girlfriend is that this is a dangerous drug for people with mania."


"Procedure at noon tomorrow. 1st bottle at 17:30. So far BMs at 19:42, 20:22, 20:30 20:34, 20:44 (ca. 1 cup ea. and not explosive); peeing more. This stuff smells like urinal cakes! Tastes like hairspray with long aftertaste. Using rinse-free body wash diluted in warm water to clean after each BM. Applying "Un-petroleum Multi-purpose Jelly" after each BM (no parabens/no petroleum) to assure no razor-blade wiping pain. I am not one to vomit but coming close. Don't chill it -intensifies taste & body feels chilly/shakey & increases gag reflex. Rinse container good for the H2O-only part! I didn't do it & the urinal cake smell/taste penetrated the container even w/ only H2O. Next, time it's unflavored MgSO4 or Epsom Salts. Never again!"


"Yes it works. That's the question you have and it does. If you have time read my story it'll be worth it. I'm 17 and live in my miami so the weather here is pretty much hot all year around. I'm not an active outside person so I do not getting acne because of sports or anything. I guess its just a phase. I've had acne since 6th grade and its sucked. I finally made an appointment with the dermatologist December 11. He prescribed me Tretenoin also known as retin a 0.1%, the strongest strength. And Clindamycin phosphate lotion as the antibiotic. So I was told to apply Clindamycin every night, and retin a every three nights, but let's face it. We all think applying it daily will help you get results faster. Well it doesn't, all it does is irrita"


"I haven't looked back since I've been taking 5mg of escitolopram at night my mind is so much more calm."


"About 15 yrs ago I started taking Xanax. 0.25mg morning and afternoon. It worked wonders. Then the doctors put me on Paxil. I weaned myself off the Xanax, it took about 4 months. But I always have it on hand for the tough times which seem in abundance lately.  It acts quickly and has been a life saver for me."


"I can finally sleep at night again"


"Of the 4 medications I've been on for social anxiety Zoloft helped me the most.  "


"Embarrassed to go barefoot and what not, all ten toes infected with this brown tint. Fed up I decided to do something about it. I heard of Lamisil and did some research on the medicine, was concern about side effect and live damage so I went for the laser treatment on all ten toes.
After 5 months no change, toenails look the same,  disappointed went back to my Dr and he said Lamisil works best for this infection, so after much thought and tired of my condition I decided to go with the Lamisil, still concerned about side effects and what not.
Dr. ordered 1st liver test and came back good so here I go!. Almost 3 months on medicine and I couldn't be happier! Brown tint is almost gone and new nail is growing out & No side effects."


"The reviews for nexplanon are really scary so I thought I would share my experience. I got it implanted on June 17th. I got it put in while I was on my period and have not bled since then. I have not gained weight, had mood swings, headaches, or acne which I am prone to normally."


"I was prescribed Klonopin to get me through anxiety exarcebated by starting on Lexapro. It is a benzo and therefore highly addictive so I was very careful about taking it as little as possible. I found it to be very effective and one tablet would actually keep me calm for around 36 hours ( it has a very long half life ). I did not feel side effects and didn't feel drunk or disoriented. Was effective for me but needs to be used with care. "


"Just started taking Osphena after fighting with insurance for almost 3 years to allow it to be covered. (cash price $204 .00) After 3 days use I have noticed an increase of natural vaginal lubricant.  I can't wait to start having a sex life again with my husband!  Looking forward to the promises and not to worried about the side effects.  Thank You Osphena for bringing us back to life!"


"End of week 4 and mild side effects like fatigue and stomach cramps. Diarrhea subsided also, I feel pretty good but couple days out the week it feels like my heart is beating slow and I feel light headed, nauseous, headache and whole body ache."


"I like Abilify a lot because I used to be extremely irritable. I also couldn't ride my bicycle when I was manic because I would not focus on my safety. Luckily, I now only get hypomanic episodes thanks to Abilify. I feel like I am free to get off of my emotional roller coaster and explore the world outside. The only few problems it gave me were akasthesia and weight gain. I'm 14 years old, and I don't know whether I gained 40 lbs from growing, the medicine, or both."
