"I got Mirena inserted 2.5 years ago. The insertion was slightly painful but I'm good with pain. It wasn't till I left my doctors that I felt sharp cramps, which only lasted a day. At first I loved Mirena. I honestly can't take anyone's experience with Mirena less than a year seriously. That's because the first year of me having it I too thought it was amazing. No having to worry about the pill everyday, no bleeding, no pregnancy ! It was amazing, until about 9 months in. I started to get severe hormonal chin acne, mood swings, hair loss and dryness. I got my first BV infections, and the worst yeast infections. My sex drive is non existing anymore so that birth control within it own! Biggest factor was how crazy it's made me."


"I used Campral a couple of years ago and it worked great, although it did give me terrible gas. I stopped taking it and have relapsed and I am getting back on it. It really worked. Thank God for the help."

"Tips for completing this prep:

1. Use half orange or citrus Vitamin Water or Gatorade, half regular water, to make the solution. The vitamins and minerals help reduce unpleasant side effects.

2. Mix prep ahead of time and refrigerate for two hours or more.

3. Use a straw to drink the solution.

4. Drink water, apple juice, white grape juice or other clear liquids as a chaser.

5. Before the prep, during, and after, drink a lot of water. This gives your body something to evacuate and keeps you hydrated through the process. I cannot stress this enough.

6. Grimace and bear it. While not a fun process, this prep is one of the better ones out there.

Cheers."


"I was previously diagnosed with Lupus after a few miscarriages.  Now for the past 16 years I am being treated for fibromyalgia. I've been on Ultram for 15 years. I take 1 to 1-1/2 tablets every 4-6 hours 3 x's day.  It has enabled me to stay working full time outside the home with very few side effects. I can always tell if I forget to take them as I start feeling the joint pain real bad and no energy. It has been an absolute life saver for me."


"This product overall did it's purpose which is prevention of pregnancy. I did have bleeding about 6 days after I took the pill. Cramping that was not normal, and my 28 day cycle was off I ended up 4 days late. Those were the worst 4 days of my life by the way. But overall I'm not pregnant so I'm happy. But of course the best thing you can do I'd practice safe sex use condoms and birth control and let this be a last resort."


"I was prescribed Accutane for mild to severe cystic acne on my face back and chest, and was literally clear within 2 weeks and even showed signs of healing of old scars on my face. I highly recommend this drug for those who have no psych issues as it is believed that it can cause depression.  Try it, it works."


"I was taking this pill for PCOS and heavy periods, and also birth control. While it helped my period become regular (which is very, very nice), and I guess lightened my period (but not by much), the side effects are just too much. I've never had such intense breast pain in my life (I even tested for pregnancy to be sure I wasn't missing something), acne that I never had even as a teenager has been plaguing me, and my mood swings are awful. I switch from happy to angry and depressed within minutes, which isn't like me at all. I'm moving off this pill thank the Lord."


"I have been taking carvedilol tablets 6.25 since 2008 and it's great. I have very few side effects if any when I first started taking it, otherwise three thumbs up!"


"This review is for the injectable form of Imitrex (sumatriptan) only. For anyone that has tried the pill or nasal spray forms and found them ineffective, please try the injections. They work wonders and act fast. I've tried the other types and they actually seemed to make me more nauseous and (especially the nasal spray).  I keep one in my purse at all times so that I can get relief anytime a migraine hits. The pain is not bad as the needle is very small and thin. You don't have to jab yourself, just press against your skin and push a button. The pain of migraine is much worse! I've found the most comfortable injection site to be the bit of fat at the top of my buttox. I use the 6mg injections but I'm pretty sure there is also a lower dose."


"I really wanted this medicine to work.  My doctor gave me a sample and I tried it for a week.  Then I got my prescription filled.  After two more weeks me face started turning red in the middle of the day.  I don't mean a little pink, I mean red, almost purple.  It would take several hours to subside.  My nose was affected worst.  In order to determine if the Mirvaso was the cause, I started using it on only one side of my face.  Sure enough, the side with the Mirvaso turned extremely red during the day.  I am going to stop using this medicine.  It was very expensive, but did not work for me."


"I have advanced osteoarthritis, disc degenerative disease, foraminal stenosis and central stenosis. In additon, I have had two back surgeries in the last year. I have to take a higher dosage (60mg twice a day) but it allows me to function in a reasonable manner. Without it the pain is excrutiating. Now I can exercise and move."


"Starting in elementary school, my acne was horrible. At age 13, it morphed into a rare form of cystic acne. Came back a couple years after the first bout was defeated. Currently just 18, and have been on Ocella since mid August.  Since being put on Ocella, my acne has decreased immensely, and stayed as regular types of breakouts rather than the cystic variety. Haven't experienced any major side effects, although I am more prone to getting emotional over the sweet, mushy gushy stuff. At first, my sex drive was higher (even though I've never actually acted on it), but that has calmed down now. My periods are a bit lighter, and are slightly more predictable down to the start and end days. I would definitely recommend this birth control."


"I was on Lotrel for approximately 3/4 months.  Had severe swelling and pain in legs and feet.  Did not do much in making my blood pressure any lower.  No longer on this medicine."


"Strattera helped my ADD very little and suppressed my appetite and I lost all ability to sleep even though I was always tired."


"I'm a horrible diabetic.  I eat anything I want and never check my sugar. I've been on Trulicity for approx. 8 mos and I think its a  wonder drug.  My A1C was 7 and I eat sweets and quit exercising because of surgery and it still went down. I take 26U of Levemir  but guessing that will be cut down. I didn't realize the Trulicity dose had been increased two months ago, but am relieved to know. I thought I was dying due to uncontrolled diarrhea and public accidents. Horrifying, but am adjusting to increased dose and can't wait until next week to see what my A1C is. I hate taking medication and do have side effects, but usually adjust after a period and feel pretty good. Much better than having an A1C over 9, and high sugars. Don't give up."


"My only problem with this medicine is that it costs $4000 a year or $333.43 month. "


"This stuff did not help me sleep whatsoever... and when I DID sleep, it gave me horrible nightmares, sleep paralysis, and very vivid/strange dreams."


"I've used this product for 12 weeks now my comedone acne completely cleared after 8 weeks of use. Broke out a lot in the first 8 weeks but once I reached 8 weeks and onwards my skin has drastically changed. Would definitely recommend this for comedone acne and do try and persevere as it take at least 8 weeks to work."


"Good medicine."


"Really gets me through the worst days!"


"I tried Milk of Magnesia on my face not too long ago. I suffer from acne and very oily skin. It helped dry out my oily skin. It left my skin feeling smooth too. I now use this as a mask once a week."

"I have been taking Aviane for the past 3 years, and I have no complaints whatsoever. You may have headaches, nausea, or spotting when you first begin taking it, but that's just your body getting used to it: don't be fooled by terrifying reviews if they've been taking it for less than three months.

Before I started Aviane, my cycles were INSANE. I would be in terrible pain and the changes in my hormone levels were so extreme that I would often have excruciating migraines and vomit for 8+ hours.

Now my periods are very light, regular, and typically last for only 3 days. My skin is clearer, and while I did put on some weight at first, it was less than 10 pounds and I've already worked it off.

I would recommend this pill to women everywhere."


"I am prone to yeast infections during pregnancy. This is my first one for this pregnancy and it is horrible. I used Vagisil Extra Strength to help with the itchiness. It made my symptoms worse. Usually I use a 1% hydrocortisone cream. I did get a prescription from my doctor for Diflucan and took it ASAP. No relief yet. Hoping that my body hasn't gotten use to the medicine. If so, I am in for a miserable pregnancy."


"I got my implant inserted in February 2015. I got my period around the beginning of March and bled every single day for 3 months straight. It finally went away and came back 2 weeks later, staying for another 2 weeks. To sum it up, this implant is not for me. It is almost six months in and I'm still having stomach cramps and bleeding and mood swings and everything else...I'm sick of it now!"


"For the first 3 months I experienced terrible cramps and extremely heavy bleeding but then again, before I started taking this BC, I was on my period for a month straight with terrible cramps and heavy bleeding as well. This BC does a good job regulating my period and around month 4, bleeding was a bit lighter and cramping was not apparent at all. I am now on month 5 and I have been breaking out more- lot of icky whiteheads on my cheeks not sure if its cause of the BC, but my period is extremely light and I have no cramps whatsoever. At first I hated Estarylla but now I adore it cause my body just had to adjust after 4 years of abnormal menstrual cycles and menorrhagia."


"I had cataract surgery in November.  One of the problems I was experiencing with my cataracts were halos and "starbursts" around lights.   The surgery resolved that problem.

After the surgery, I developed symptoms of dry eye.   My doctor prescribed Xiidra to relieve the dry eye.  The Xiidra drops burned my eyes severely and also burned the skin around my eyes.  I had to stop using it after a week.  To my great disappointment and alarm, the halos around the lights have returned.  The only thing I did differently after the surgery was to use Xiidra.  I am convinced that Xiidra has damaged my eyesight."


"Do not take this product if you think you have an irritation or ulcer in your colon. It works for about 4 hours (had about 5 to 7 visits to the toilet). In the 5th hour (11PM), I start getting intense pain in my lower right abdomen where the colon is located. The pain was so severe that I was not able to lay down. I could sit to ease the pain somewhat but still could not fall asleep. I stood periodically to ease the pain, but basically had a sleepless night. I decided not to take the second dose at 5AM for fear the pain would be even worse.  I was not able to have the colonoscopy as a result."


"Experiencing a little nausea.  It seems since I started this medication 1 week ago I can no longer stomach coffee.  My Dr. is weaning me off zoloft.  Zoloft zapped my energy after 3 years.  Dreams are vivid but sleep is good.  I am experiencing nocturnal erections again and my libido has increased."


"Xanax (Alprazolam) has been a miracle for me. I suffer from depression, severe anxiety from GAD, Panic Disorder, OCD, and PTSD. Xanax helps prevent panic attacks and stop them once they start. Be careful about taking it everyday due to tolerance being built up to the medicine (needing more and more to get the same effect) and because of addiction issues. I don't take regular Xanax everyday. I try to stick with the extended-release version, if possible, to avoid addiction to regular Xanax. Regular Xanax, however, works hard and fast and is great for those who really need it. I give it a 10/10!"


"I had Skyla inserted June 8, 2016. The insertion was more uncomfortable than painful, and I have a very low pain tolerance. I had it inserted while I was on my period. DO NOT work after the insertion. I thought I would be fine, but I felt like I was going to pass out and had extreme cramps. For the first couple of months I had cramps and bleeding every single day. I still have random intense cramping followed by spotting, but skyla is worth it. You don't have to worry about taking a pill and my periods are finally starting to regulate after years of randomly getting it and never knowing when it was coming. Def recommend, just have to deal with side effects for the first couple of months."


"Parents putting there kids on this stuff, yikes, man I just feel bad for your poor child. You realize you're giving them pure amphetamine right? I would avoid taking amphetamines until your brain has finished developing. Age 21-25. It's just absurd that something like Vyanse is prescribed to children. That said, for adults, this stuff is wondrous. Has changed my life. I've been taking 60mg Vyvanse for 3yrs straight with zero issues. Zero break.  Zero tolerance. I'm 32. Male. I've literally tried it all (Dex, Desoxyn, Addie, Provigil) & nothing comes close Vyvanse! If you truly have ADHD as an adult, this drug will alter your life in such a positive way! Adults only though!!! Common parents, you're totally screwing your kids over."


"I was at a breaking point and couldn't take any more bad thought and sad days. It got to the point where I was crying up to 4 times a day, snapping at my husband and kids, having to call in to work because I couldn't pull it together long enough to function.  It was bad.  I had negative thoughts and obsessed about something bad happening to myself or my daughter and not at the hands of myself.
Side effects were bad at first-insomnia, nausea, swimmy head, anxiety, those only lasted until about day 5 and was told to push through and tough it out.  Every day since has been better and better and I finally feel normal again.  Lexapro saved my life."


"I started having headaches, pressure, and a hangover like feeling in the mornings about a year ago.  In early December 2014 I was diagnosed with migraines which were causing my issues.  My neurologist put me on 300mg of gabapentin and I felt great from 12/5-12/20. I started getting the morning hangover feeling again on 12/21.  My neurologist is now upping the dosage, hope it gets me back to that point/place."


"I started getting cold sores about 2 years ago. I have tried everything...rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, nail polish remover, L-Lysine, bactine, abreva, ice, biotin...you name it and I've tried it. Nothing worked for me. Finally I sucked it up and went to a doctor about it and was prescribed acylvoir. I don't get any kind of tingle, so at the very first sign of a bump, I take 2 400mg pills, and then about 2 hours later I take 2 more. Within hours the bump is gone. This drug is a miracle!"


"Amazing relief, almost instantly I feel some relief and migraine is gone within half hour. No side effects at all."


"My dentist perscribed Tramadol yesterday because of an abcessed tooth.  I see an Endodontist this morning.  It helped with pain, but I have not slept one minute all night.  My mind raced all night.  I was so sleepy, but if I closed my eyes I had movie like images racing.  I have never been on any kind of "speed" but I feel like this is what it would be like."


"I end up in the ER at least twice a month with migraines so bad that I'm in tears and can't even hold water down because of the nausea from the migraine, and I am given this medicine every time I go in and it has never worked for me."


"This is the worst thing I ever did to myself. Got this in August 2016 got my period beginning of September and it's now December 2nd and I'm STILL have my period from September. To make matters worse I had surgery on November 18th and since then it's been dark nasty and smells. On that note I have an appointment to get it out on December 6th and hopefully my period goes back to normal.

The only reason this birth control works is because who wants to have sex when they have nasty blood coming out of them?!"


"I have had the mirena in almost 2 years. It has cause so much pain. Whenever I first got it the obgyn told me I would not have periods and if I did it just be here and there of spotting. The bleeding that's recently been happening is really heavy bleeding. I don't know if something is wrong or what's going on with it. I wouldn't suggest it to anybody. It causes so much pain and periods are not regular, and they are very heavy periods. It was so much money to get it in, but there is no way i'm keeping it, the mood swings, the random heavy periods, and the pain. I can't handle it any more."


"I hate the depo. It completely took  away my sex drive, so the shot is pointless anyway when I’m not sexually active. I’ve also been on my period/spotting for 7 weeks. This shot is miserable I can’t wait for it to be out of my system. The negative side effects seem to effect more people than the positive! I highly recommend getting another form of birth control. I wish this didn’t even exist."


"Update! I initially gave my review about Genvoya within the first few days of starting it. 2 months in I have Great news. My viral load has been checked twice since taking Genvoya two months ago. 1st month VL went from 20000 to 459 CD4 went from 370 to 570. 2nd month VL went from 459 to 102. This is Life Saving Medicine. 1st few days I had slight nausea and headache, feeling of bengay or icy rub on my arms and hands. After two months 0 side effects with the exception of being hungry all the time. I'm energetic, not tired anymore, everyone says I have this glow, feel really great! I take Genvoya with food and without. I take it before bed. This is great medicine. I can drink a beer with it no side effects at all... I absolutely love Genvoya"


"This medicine works wonders! I was having severe nausea & vomiting every morning to the point I was losing so much weight. My doctor prescribed me Diclegis , I take 2 at night & one during the day because of how tired it makes me. Ever since I've been taking it I've been able to hold down food & water & I've also gained an appetite. Without these I wouldn't be able to go to work. I love them!"


"I have been on Paxil for about 15-16 yrs now. I have probably had social anxiety problems since grade school. It just got worse. Paxil is a good medicine for me but not sure at this point that 30 to 20 mg was a good weaning action. My social anxiety in AA has now increased due to decrease in medicine.
When I look at the "good" Paxil has done, it far outweighs the "bad". Having social anxiety is something that can isolate a person. I am not perfect in that regard, but this medicine has definitely been a positive thing in my life. It's not perfect, as I have to work on myself constantly, but it has helped me!"


"I sing the praises of Lamictal. I have been on 150mg in the morning for over 7 years along with Seroquel XL 100 mg at night. The combination has changed my life. I could not imagine life without depression and anxiety before I started these medicines. No side effects from either one. I feel fortunate."


"Asacol had no impact on my Crohn's flare-ups at all. Until the biologic medicines came out, I had no relief at all. I suggest starting with  mild drug like this but to realize that there are so many more options available today if this does not help."


"Ultram worked very well with no bad side effects for postoperative pain."


"I've been on this pill for 4 months and haven't experienced any symptoms. It made my acne disappear a little. I noticed I have none on my chest now. I do not take the placebos so I don't have a period. I didn't gain weight. Maybe a little nausea the past month. Maybe a little more sensitive in my mood."


"Severe weight gain between me and other family members!"


"I tested positive for Influenza A on Tuesday afternoon, I took my first dose of Tamiflu that night. Had a fever over night but then my temp broke by Wednesday morning, so that was the last time I had a fever and today is now Sunday.

My only 2 complaints about the Tamiflu is that it made me incredibly nauseous every time I took it and I also got bad headaches from it too."


"All of the negative reviews for this device had me so frightened to have the Mirena put in that I almost backed out at the last minute.  I just had it inserted yesterday and haven't had time to experience many of the side effects that others are talking about, but I can tell you my situation.  I have a great doctor and I just had a baby 8 weeks ago.  I can honestly tell you that there was no pain associated with this procedure at all for me.  The most I felt was a minor cramp (This is not pain ladies!)  When the device settled into the uterus it actually felt more like a baby kicking than anything else.  I will acknowledge that everyone is different and someone else may have a different experience."


"I used Prepopik for a colonoscopy today.  Used it as instructed by my Dr and last dose was 10 pm for a 9:30am procedure.  I get colonoscopies every three years so have had many experiences with different solutions.  Prepopik was very easy to use as it is not as intense as others.  I had no side effects however I. Still had diarrhea when it was time for the procedure.  Not fun and my system was not nearly as clean as with all others I have used.  That being said I would not use this again as it is more important to prep well to get the best result from the colonoscopy.  I would put up with inconvenience to ensure a clean colon.  I will ask not to use this next time."


"I'm coming off the depo shot. My second and last shot was six months ago, but it's still in my system. after my first dose of the depo shot, my periods stopped immediately. No bleeding AT ALL since then. Which I wouldn't really mind on its own, but it also intensified my already-bad anxiety. AND I gained 30lbs in three months. I'm suspecting it's the cause of my chronic upper back pain too, which i didn't have until my second shot (its worse than cramps!). I was hoping to get it out of my system so my fiance and I could have a baby soon, as if these symptoms weren't bad enough to make me want to stop. Also, I don't know what's more of a hassle, keeping stocked on pads or pregnancy tests. Ugh. But it did its job as a birth control, so..."


"I have been on citalopram for 1 month now and feel its defo improved my condition (depression & anxiety) the 1st few weeks where quite bad with paranoia, insomnia, dry mouth although still get a butterflies like panic feeling sometimes but passes quite quickly, would defo recommend this medication it has improved my outlook, social & work life, and a lot better in myself, hope this helpful and good luck:)"


"I just had the Mirena inserted today around 3:30pm. The insertion procedure was painful for me but I only took Ibuprofen 30 minutes prior to insertion which may explain why the insertion was as painful as it was for me. The CNM who inserted the Mirena was very helpful explaining everything that she was doing while she was doing it during insertion of the Mirena. I have had cramping but Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen did help with that and just a little spotting. I have endometriosis also and I was not aware that it could spread to my pelvis and even as far as my lungs. I chose Mirena due to the fact that I gained a lot of weight using Depo and the pill and because it  could help with my endometriosis."


"I'm 41 years old and have four kids . I don't want to get pregnant again so I decided to have injectable contraceptive depostrust . First shot was Mar 24 my menstruation stopped for 2 weeks but after that I have spotting . Last week of May I have  bleeding and its getting worse so I have my injection June 1 . Up until now I have been bleeding  4 months already . I'm afraid . Is this serious ? Pls help . I can't sleep . Any insight will help me . Thanks "


"I have extensive nerve damage in my spinal cord and was prescribed baclofen for spasms. It works great on the spasms however, I can take the prescribed dose and when I run out of vicodin then it causes me restless leg syndrome so be careful if you're also on opioids and run out. For cramps in the legs it is great though."


"I've had bulimia for 8 years and I was on Prozac for 3 months, nothing changed. We kept upping it every month,. Maybe I needed a much higher dose? Idk desperate but hopeless right now."


"Over 12 years of battling with hypothyroidism with all it s crazy symptoms, stop school to tired and forgetful, went through a divorce too depressed and lots of weight gain. I thought it was me and dr made me feel I am using my thyroid as excuse since the lab work is normal. I don't want to jinks it but I took my first Armour Thyroid yesterday after requesting it, AND why it a miracle. I felt so alive. So said to think back on my life and what could have been if doctor just really listen to their patient. It took a facebook group to open my eyes."


"I began taking Belviq 10 mg twice a day May 25, 2017.  I have noticed that I am making better choices about the foods I eat, while not reaching for the sugary snacks after 7:00pm.  As of today, August 8, 2017 I am down the required 5% that my insurance company requires to continue the medicine.  I haven't found any noticeable side effects, mainly because even before I took this I was constantly fatigued due to life situation/stress.  I went into this seeing people commenting about "Oh, I lost 20# my first month" but for me, that's not the case.  I need the bump the medicine gives me to slowly lose the weight.  No reason to rush it and I think because of that attitude, I'm more pleased with my results.  Looking forward to next 12 weeks!"


"This drug is a miracle. It really helped me to recover from hardcore drugs. It makes me normal and not seeking any high from drugs as pregablin already makes my mood good and normal life. It makes me happy and really helped me to treat my addiction which i thought hopless. My current daily dose is 300mg twice daily as prescribed."


"Complete effectual treatment for cystic acne. Had to stop taking due to loss of insurance, is $40+ per month in the US without it."


"I was on Suboxone for the past 5+ years, first on the original,orange, stop sign shaped pills(2years), then switched to the Suboxone Strips for the past 3&1/2 years, but recently had to change to Zubsolv, due to my insurance no longer covering any other form of buprenorphine, other than Zubsolv. At first, I was very nervous about it, since I was taking 24mg per day of the strips & the Zubsolv equivalent was only 17.1mg per day(3- 5.7/1.4mg Tablets). I decided to just keep an open mind & not get to caught up in the different mg totals, since Zubsolv is better absorbed. It took a few days to get used to, but I honestly can't tell any difference, other than taste "


"I was on the NuvaRing for about a year and a half. I absolutely loved it. It was easy to use, easy to remember, and neither I nor my partner could feel it during intercourse. I had clearer skin while I was on it and less cramping than I did before it. However, it did effect my moods slightly and I had a few up and down moments. Also, the reason I terminated my use of the device was because it started to fall out and I couldn't keep it in the right place. I think my body had just built up a tolerance to it and decided it didn't want it anymore. I do recommend it for most people who want easy birth control, but I do warn of the mood swings."


"I started Celexa in July and within a few weeks those closest to me remarked on the difference how much happier and less angry I seemed. I felt less overwhelmed by stress and felt happier. The change had been subtle from my viewpoint, and it wasn't until after my doctor suggested a change in medicine, I realized how much it helped me. Within days I noticed my irritability had returned and within a couple weeks I felt as if I weren't taking anything at all. I asked my doctor to return me to Celexa. Side effects I've noticed: initial nausea, jittery (especially with the addition of caffeine), vivid dreams, weight loss (15 pounds since July)."


"I've had the Implanon in since I was 16. I've had 2 and am just about due for my third. That's right, for 6 years I've had irregular periods ever since, no cramps and no headaches but different experiences with sex drive with both implants. The first one my partner and I would have sex all the time but since my second one not so much. Actually I don't want it at all. Only worry now is because I've had it in for so long can I still get pregnant without it."


"I have been on Pristiq for about a year now, and it is brilliant. Those who have only given it a few days need to give anti-depressants a few months for the drug to work properly, it doesn't metabolise like paracetamol or other common meds.
The best thing about going from escitalopram to this is that I have emotions now. The worst side-effect is dizziness, which isn't the same kind of dizziness that you have after you spin around or get up really quickly. I feel like the term "sparkly" is more appropriate, because it is quick to go up and down in severity. I feel like I also have a  bit of photophobia with it too. Be careful with missing your medication, not taking it at the same time everyday and alcohol consumption."


"Brought the swelling around my eye, due to an allergic reaction, down within hours.  Took it in the morning and by evening was looking fairly normal and ready to face society."


"I used this for several years with good results.  Only problem was I metabolized the medicine too quickly and the third day was more painful.  My decidedly low-tech solution was to remove only 2/3 of the backing plastic the first couple days, then remove the last bit for the third day.
I take extended release morphine now and it works just as well.  It's a toss-up between wearing the giant patch and dosage issues verses remembering to take a pill every 8 hours. "


"I've take so many medications throughout the years. There was always something I didn't like. I always felt off with every medication. I found out about St John's Wort and it CHANGED MY LIFE! ZERO SIDE EFFECTS! If you're wondering about medications please give St John's wort a try! I feel like me, but a BETTER me! Not a "medicated" me"


"I have been using this for 6 months and the change in my skin has been amazing. I had been using doxy which was going okay, but once I stopped responding, the doctor prescribed me this. I wish I would have started with this product. I have moderate rosacea coupled with some cheek acne. This stuff started making s difference about 4 days in. I had people asking me what I had done different and why I looked so good. I only use it in the morning, and I can do this, because it dries SO fast. It doesn't leave a weird film or feeling like lots of prescription creams do. Even so, it helps tighten the skin and has smoothed the appearance of fine lines.

The only reason I gave this 9 stars is because it gives you peach fuzz all over your cheeks."


"This medicine saved my life.  After many years, I have the confidence to go on a date now."


"I remember a half a year ago reading these reviews and I was very eager to not feeling worthless anymore. The first month was bleh. Had bad diarrhea but slept great for once. But over time feelings of worthlessness and being overly fearful faded away. I started to slowly be able to get out of bed in the night (third shift) and be excited to go to work and engage people. Sadly, over time the anxiety seemed to have gotten worse. My sleeping also went back to its normal habits. They upped it to 40mg to no avail. Now I'm off cold turkey and the depression is hitting harder than it has ever. Wish I could get back on it. It was a literal life saver."


"Don't believe anyone that tells you the taste is not bad.  It is awful and there is no way to mask it. I couldn't even finish the second dose. This is the worst part of the whole procedure and there has to be a better way!"


"I was presrcibed Accutane by my dermatologist. My skin cleared up after a month of taking the medication. It worked wonders. but then my acne started to come back a few months later. I was put back on it and just finished my second round. My skin is clear and healthy. Works wonders. Highly Recommended."


"Our son has ADHD and Aspergers and often lost his temper and was irritable. We started him on 0.25mg of Risperdal each morning for 2 weeks and he is happy and sleeps better. To see him smiling and happy is worth it."


"I was an 18 yr old mother of 3 boys that needed a good birth control. Mirena was the way to go. That was 2 yrs ago, after having it painfully inserted. I" went from bleeding 8 weeks after getting it straight to *never* having a period until I got it out. Not even 2 yrs later. Cramping, 50lbs weight gain, horrible mood swings (worse than pregnancy mood swings), severe depression and insomnia. I've had it out for a week now and I'm still bleeding. The only good from this was I do not have a 4th son yet but hopefully when I stop bleeding I will."


"I took Phentermine from 5/27 until around 6/27 and lost 13 pounds with zero exercise. I lost weight but I took June till July off today I started my second round. I also started working out for 30min-1hour. I'm excited to see what the second round does for me."


"I am 22 and have always been prone to yeast infections. I can always tell when one is coming on because it gets swollen and sore to sit/walk/wipe. My doctor always calls me in a prescription of this and it does the trick every time. It usually takes 1-2 days for me to feel 100% back to normal, and I always take the second pill on the 3rd day. As for side effects, the first few hours after taking it, I usually get shaky, have a little bit of diarrhea, and have a weird "head high" type of feeling. It subsides after a little bit and doesn't last too long. I have to say that with how painful my yeast infections can get, the side effects are worth it for a few hours. I absolutely love this medicine!"


"I am 44 and never needed anything until my current girlfriend. She is so hot I was actually intimidated by her and caused sexual anxiety for me. I know sounds weird. Got on 20mg and was told to take half but take the whole thing. The effects last 36 hours and hard as a rock. Also can go for as long as you want without climax. No side effects."


"I was prescribed 500 metronidazole 14 days it has been awful with all the nausea ,constipation, back pain, neck pain ,lightheadedness ,sore throat feels like your throat swelling. It gets better, that is some of the symptoms do. My urine isn't as dark as it was when I started I don't have itching anymore I don't I still have a slight discharge it's not always apparent. But I still have lower abdomen pain and I'm not sure what that's all about. Soon as I'm out of this medicine I'm going to go to my doctor try to get into my gynecologist  for a check up . Just a note ,we should have all been taking probiotics ."


"Usual story: The condom broke. Went to CVS that night and got Plan B. I took it that same night and the next day I slept for the entire day. No exaggeration. I have never slept so much before in my life. The pill did it's job so I don't care but wow I slept sooo much."


"I am 18 years old this is my first YI. I had a UTI and didn't take probiotics with my antibiotics which was a big mistake.. but I have a YI and I inserted this medicine in about an hour ago and I can't stop itching and burning!!!!!! I wish I would have read the reviews it's so uncomfortable and I want to go to bed! can someone help?"


"2 weeks now. Hep C 38 yrs, geno 1, 11/2 fribrosis.  Felt great the first 5 days, now very tired fatigue constant. But will see it through. I had moments of true vibrancy at first, have nor felt that good in 38 years, the world looked liked I remembered it before the virus, but that has faded to my old tired depressed self. I think I will get back to the good place in time. I sleep well, no stomach problems, no skin problems, no high blood pressure, just fatigue and irritability now and then. This drug is so new I'm sure long long term will be the test on any kind of permanent problems, so it's a gamble I'm will to take to be free of this nasty virus."


"It works however I have had 90% of the side effect. It is terrible to have to use a medicine like this. I can't use prednisone at all. It's even worse."


"i was skeptical. Other meds had not worked for pain.  The pain from spinal stenosis and other arthritis and nerve pain was decreased the day after I started taking it.  The effectiveness diminished after a month so the dose was increased and it is working well . I have decreased other pain meds, can walk better and am able to do much more"


"I take 5 mg of Zyprexa daily. I'm almost the entire day sleepy and have the feeling of doing nothing. I can not worry, because I have to sleep for about 15 hours daily.
But I have tried everything out there, and this is the best at this moment."


"I have a L5 S1 herniated disc. And have been through MANY pain medicines and this is the only 1 that has done anything. I have been on it since January 09 and have had the dosage increased once. I was referred by my family doctor to the NeuroSpine Clinic. "


"I got a cold sore yesterday morning, it was quite small and barely noticeable. I put abreva on and put it on like 10 times and when I woke up this morning it was bigger and more painful. It does not work. I don't get cold sores quite often, only when I'm very sick or physically drained (I'm a lifeguard and swim teacher). This was a huge disappointment, especially for how expensive it was."


"I got this 8 months ago. The first two months I spotted and had some cramps. I was a bit more emotional and moody for the first 3 months. Now I have no period, no cramps, no spotting, and my mood changes are gone. It's wonderful"


"Moderate to severe eczema has haunted me for the past 30 years. I've used every ointment and cream available to some temporary success and steroids when the itching gets out of hand. Doc gave me Eucrisa a month ago that has proved to be a $700 false prophet. It clears up the rashes but not the itching. I look at my hands and think Wow! So clear! then scratch the smooth skin 'til the blood runs cold. Hope this is not true with everyone. I wouldn't wish this condition on my worst enemy....well, maybe with the exception of one or two!"


"My doctor gave me this to try for three months. I couldn't get through the second month of it because it made me feel like puking constantly. Not the best feeling during finals tests."


"I'm shocked to see not a single negative review listed. The first day taking Wellbutrin after drinks with a friend (not advisable) we had a bad fight, my anger was uncontrollable. That next day I had a fight with my roommate, I was absorbed in rage, completely unaware of others' feelings. That week I was stuck in my head, angry, charged, paranoid and isolated. A week later I had terrible fight with my roommate resulting in a BAD physical altercation, cops were called, next day she moved out. Next day I was extremely depressed and indifferent. I stopped taking it. Maybe I didn't give it time. Don't want to discourage others but if you have irritability/anger issues be very aware and cautious."


"I had a bad experience with Contrave. First day I took it I started to itch. Had to take an allergy pill to help. I started becoming light headed, I had blurry vision & upset stomach on the second pill. Didn't work for me. I may be allergic to what's in it. Had to pay out of pocket insurance did not cover. Waste of money. :("


"My sinus drainage wouldn't stop with Benadryl and decided to try hydroxyzine at 50mg every 8 hours. But within 5 hours my sinus started draining again. Every six hours worked fine then after two days, the drainage was under control. Helped me sleep better at night and side effects were minimal."


"I got this when I had already had 2 crusty cold sores and just got rid of 1. I get them alot and they don't care-they show up for no reason! I took the 2 and then 2 later and it helped clear those up in no time at all, but when I start on a new cold sore I notice the 2 now and 2 later isn't working but the doctor won't change the script so I'm doing a bit of testing at home to see what helps.  I haven't had a cold sore often enough now to say if taking 2 now 2 later for 2days helps or 4 now and 4 later for 1 day is best. I still have the painful blisters and they still came in the overnight to the 2nd day-not more just the ones that came the first day became fuller. This was on the 2 now and 2 later. I did catch it right when I felt the itch."


"I've taken other prescription sleep medications in the past but they do tend to make your drowsy and have all sorts of side effects.  I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and the pain stops me from sleeping.  I now take this at bedtime with a small dose prescribed codeine.  Between the painkillers and the "sleep" effect of the Tylenol, I truly can't believe how well I am sleeping!  Just be aware that this can really make you fall asleep fast so do be ready for bed.  I've spoken to four other people who have various pain problems and they all love this medication too."


"I cannot believe how amazing this medicine has been for my cystic acne. I have tried monocycline, doxycycline, prescription topical creams, NOTHING worked. I finally decided to ask my doctor about Bactrim. I have been completely cyst free since October. This is a record amount of time for me to have NO cysts! I have had, maybe three pimples. I've had no side effects. The monocycline gave me horrible joint aches (to the point where I'd almost cry they hurt so bad). So far I have had absolutely NO side effects. It's wonderful!"


"I wanted to warn others of my experience. I have used plan B before and nothing happened probably because I wasn't ovulating. On April 11 I ovulated and had sex, 4 days later I took plan B. I know this is not how you're supposed to do it entirely but I've heard of you're already pregnant it doesn't affect anything. A month later I found out I was pregnant and it was an ectopic. I've never had an ectopic pregnancy before and I have a child so I can carry a full term baby. It's just a thought but I think plan B caused my ectopic."


"I started taking this because my previous birth control was on backorder at every pharmacy. I've had acne for about 5 yrs & I've tried everything but accutane, but to no avail. I accepted that I was going to have to deal with acne.
I'm entering my third month on Junel now and have noticed a drastic difference in my skin. I was a little bummed by Junel at first because I was having regular spotting (I'm a period skipper), but now that I've seen this change in my skin I think I'll deal with the spotting. It was an accidental benefit, but I'm very happy with it. Can't attest to the effectiveness of pregnancy prevention bc I always use condoms."


"I've been on 1 Requip for a couple of months with *great* success. Last night, however, I got my first breakthrough restless legs syndrome; it lasted all night and was excruciating. I took baths, did some stretching and even took another Requip. I got about 4 hours sleep, but RLS woke me up again this morning, and it's the same. I've read that many people have had to up the dosage on this medicine, but this happened to me so soon after taking it, I'm sort of nervous. I don't want to increase the dosage already - it's only been a month. Thank you for mentioning that some of you have RLS breakthrough if you are dehydrated or something else."


"About to finish my third week. Started the pill on the first day of my period, so my period lasted a little longer than usual. I take it at night before bed to minimize the side effects. It did cause me to wake up a little nauseous a couple nights and I did get a couple of zits over the last couple of weeks. I usually just get one zit the week before my period to let me know its around the corner. I haven't really noticed any other side effects. I am a little bloated but I think its because my period is around the corner. All and All the first few weeks have been surprisingly tolerable. I was scared at first but it seems like this may just work out for me. I will update during my second month to keep you all posted."


"I have been taking ambien or zolphidem for almost 15 years. I had horrible insomnia where I couldn't sleep sometimes at all during the night. The insomnia went on for about 2 years before I tried ambien. it worked immediately.  I don't take it every night and when I do I break off a third of the pill. The only side effect is sometimes grogginess in the morning. I worry about a little memory loss. I was told it disrupts your REM sleep which can affect memory. Trying to get off completely but don't want to go through that horrible insomnia again."


"I started taking Zoloft about a month ago, in the first week i had some diarrhea and experienced some insomnia, but it soon disappeared. Within three weeks my depression and anxiety subsided. This medication changed my life."


"I love Implanon! I got it about 5 months ago. The insertion was painless! No bruising for me. I did have some mood swings in the beginning but now its like nothing is there. And I haven't had a period since the first month after I got it! Also I am nursing and I haven't had any negative side effects with my milk supply or anything! I would recommend it to anyone!"


"This is my second day on Yaz. I have been on countless other birth control such as Marvelon, Tri-cyclen Lo, Demulen, and most recently, Aviane. When I was on Marvelon, I never noticed anything while I was taking the pills side effect wise, but my periods were unbearably heavy. On Tri-cyclen, my period was light, but it never stopped, for 3 months! On Demulen I went into a deep depression that I am still getting over. And finally, on Aviane, it was great, but I gained about 40 lbs in the past year. I went on Yaz to help keep me upbeat and happy (coupled with my daily dose of Prozac), and to hopefully help me shed some weight and give me comfortable and short periods. So far, so good. High libido and no negative side effects except slight headache."


"Use for Chronic pain. This is 4 Spinal Surgeries History. Have: Spinal Stenosis, DDD, Bone Chips & lots of Scar tissue."


"Horrible hot flashes and depression."


"1 year ago my MD put me on Synthroid and after 3 months I had so much pain in my legs, I stopped taking it and my pain went away. I discovered Armour thyroid and it made such a difference in the way I felt. "


"I have had problems with facial hair since my mid-20's. I am now 54.This medication has been LIFE-CHANGING. Have tried electrolysis and laser. Both work, but only for a limited time as the professionals who do this have told me that NEW hair follicles darken and cause problems, even though the hair follicles they have treated are dead. I have plucked "forever" causing hairs to get courser, causing nearly constant break-outs on my chin from in-grown hairs. Bottom line:  It took about 4 weeks to notice a big difference. I use on chin and upper lip. Changed the amount and texture of hair.  Excellent product! I no longer obsess about my facial hair."


"took 1 pill, lips swelled up like bee sting, cold sores covering complete lip area short term.
long term still can not smell anything except nasty metal smell all the time, also cannot taste anything I eat, nasty metal taste in mouth all the time, no matter what I eat or drink,
it is December took pill in early August 2016"


"I've been on many different birth controls and this has to be the worst. I started about 2 months ago and I've been bleeding ever since. I've been bloated, my appetite has increased however I've managed to keep it down, and I've been moody. I hate it!"


"I am a 27 year old male, on this drug for 3 weeks so I can't really comment on it's efficacy, as it takes 2-4 weeks to start working. All I can say is it didn't help me. I took 40mg for 7 days, then went up to 80mg for 2 weeks. I had to stop taking it because of the side effects - I was getting severe irritability to the point where I was yelling at the top of my lungs at people for minor mistakes and generally grumpy. Based on this and other side effects - needing to urinate far more regularly than usual, heart palpitations, feeling down for no good reason and insomnia - my doctor decided it wasn't right for me.This is a rare reaction which is unlikely to happen to you, but if you get it, tell your doctor."


"Three weeks in I've lost 14lbs.  My out of control appetite is in check, cravings for sweets have decreased.  I highly recommend Belviq and so happy I found it.  Only side effect so far is coughing.  I can live with that."


"Well, I can't say that it was easy. The thing that bothered me most was lack of sleep. Being tired all the time didn't help either. I have 1 pill left and glad it is over. I am 63 years old and retired 5 years ago because of hep c. At week 4 it was undetectable. Had to take it for 12 weeks. I am a Vietnam era vet so that is probably where I caught it. If I am truly cured then the first thing I am going to do is go back to work. Retirement is very boring and now that I have all of this energy I am sure that I would go nuts. Some people had no side effects, as you can see I was not among the lucky ones. It was worth the torment to be free of Hep C."


"This is a Zombie drug , causes me to fall and hurt myself , makes me have zero emotions and I hate everyone and want everyone in the world to die ..... would be animal abuse to give it to a pet ......I'm not taking this anymore ."


"It worked for me.  I had sex with my boyfriend on May 14th approx. 2PM and the condom slipped off. This was also on the day of my ovulation (according to the calendar, not super accurate but I wanted to mention this fact).  I checked the condom after and there was no sign of semen.  We have gotten pregnant before, so I took plan by the next day, approx. 24-26 hours later.  Experienced side effects for one day a week later (dizziness, pulsating cramps, major crabbiness).  I got my period a week after that, one day early with a little heavier flow.  I would also like to mention that I am way over the supposed weight limit for this pill."


"This stuff is scary. It gives me night sweats, but more concerning, I get really high levels of anxiety and I am concerned about my breathing. Feels too relaxed, like breathing may stop. Horrific feeling. Result is massive insomnia and I still cough."


"Do not mix this with nubane."


"I've lost 19 pounds in less than a month and had some of the side effects tingling feet, dizziness, and headache. My Doctor ordered some labs I now take vitamin D & K.   I no longer have high blood pressure. I'm happy."


"My doctor prescribed this for depression issues/severe anxiety associated with adult ADD. I was very resistant to try, have been put on multiple other meds that made things much worse. I take 50mg daily. Immediately felt almost "euphoric." With each passing day, I feel better in every sense, and the anxiety is gone. I NEVER write any posts EVER, but this has been an unbelievable game changer. I have been battling these issues since childhood, and I can truly say I feel happy and hopeful about my future. The "internal storm" inside that I battled every day to cope with is gone. No side effects except for some vivid, strange dreams-but those are dissipating. I hope this helps someone-if this one doesn't help, keep trying and never give up."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"Medication works always. Takes the edge off, my headaches are absolutely unbearable."


"I have been on opioids for many years and that was increased in 2013 with a knee replacement surgery.  That's when the constipation became uncontrollable.  All the fiber in the world would not move me. Until linzess.  It is still unpredictable some days, ( unexpected and explosive) but it is better than being backed up, bloated and miserable.  I've been taking it on and off because my insurance would not pay or they would pay fora lower dose which I cannot use except very infrequently."


"Great news!  I just talked with Forest Labs (manufacturer of Armour Thyroid). They updated their manufacturing equipment and changed formulation by increasing dextrose and decreasing cellulose.  The dessicated thyroid stayed the same, even though they have trouble getting it.  However, the pills now are very difficult to cut in half (they crumble).  I do great on Armour and had a severe allergic reaction to synthetic hormones.  I don't like the new formulation as much because I cut my pills in half, but it's better than synthetic.  Hope this information helps."


"I have had the IUD Mirena for almost a year.  I wanted a no thought birth control and the thought of no periods was very appealing.  However, after the insertion I had the worst cramps ever. They were so intense I was practically bed ridden for the first month and the horrifying pain continued for at least 3 months after.  I was unemployed and thank God for that because I never would have made it through a day.  I have never given birth but I would imagine it was like labor pains...not your typical period cramp...and it was all day every day.  The cramping has gotten better and I have very light bleeding but I now have bad acne and no sex drive.  I think  also have gained weight (not much, maybe 10lbs).  "


"I tried this for PCOS.  This BC seemed nonexistent.  I never have spotting but had constant discharge the entire month I was on it.  Didn't feel like I was taking anything and didn't seem to do anything.  Pro to it not doing anything is I didn't feel like it messed with mood."


"I've been on and off Prozac for the last few years. I didn't think it was working, but after I started taking mental notes, I realized that I was doing much better on it. I have been dealing with chronic anxiety and PTSD which has, in turn, led me into depression. Based on my experience, I think it's important to note that depression lifting is not like flipping a switch. It takes time for the medicine to work. Now that I've been taking it routinely and not missing a dose, I've noticed that my "baseline" mood is MUCH better. It happens subtly like a thick fog slowly lifting. I understand that it doesn't work for everyone, but if you're not having side effects and you've only been on it for a short time, be patient and give it a chance."


"I have severe RA and was started on MTX about 6 months ago already maxed out and pain and inflammation was doing major damage.  Two years ago I was running a mile several times a week and when the RA hit  I could not even open my bedroom door.  Recently was started on Embrel.  After the first shot I noticed a 25% improvement with pain and stiffness.  I did not find the shot painful as some describe, but I had already been self injecting the MTX.  No other side affects thus far.  Looking forward to my second injection this week and continued improvement."


"This medicine kept me wired all night long and I only took half of a teaspoon. My mind was racing!  No cough though!  Did some of my best thinking! Felt extremely tired the next day!  Would be great in the day for me rather than at night."


"I've been using this product for less than a week and it has worked miracles. I've had a sweat problem everyday for the past 7 years. I found this product and I can honestly say my life has changed."


"Diagnosed in 2003 with ulcerative colitis. Started Remicade in 2010. Helped my symptoms but developed Discoid Lupus in 2015. Doctor thinks it was brought on by the Remicade. Stopped Remicade and now taking Entyvio for colitis and plaquenil for the lupus."


"I'm a 35 year old woman with PCOS, pre diabetes and high resistance to weight loss. Started Victoza 7/14/17. Sugars now in normal range and I've lost 16 lbs so far! Side effects included some stomach pain/cramping at first that has now eased up. I eat less and stay away from heavy/greasy foods to avoid side effects. I find that I always feel full. Never hungry. Occasional constipation, nothing too bad.  Overall I'm very pleased to finally be losing weight and getting my sugars under control!  I started at .6 ml and now am at 1.8. I find the dosing easy and painless. I'm excited to see how this affects my A1c thrilled the scale is finally moving in the right direction!  I'll update in a few weeks."


"I'm a 20 year old female who's been battling moderate to severe acne since middle school. I've been wearing hypoallergenic Almay makeup since I was 12 because I was so self conscious of my skin. After unsuccessfully fighting it on my own, I went to a dermatologist who put me on Oracea to take in the morning and Aczone to apply at night. It's only been a week but I have had zero breakouts! The pimples I had prior to this have vanished and my dark spots are fading. I use Aczone at night after washing my face with Neutrogena acne prone skin soap (also recommended by my dermotologist). It has made my skin a little dry, but it used to be so oily that it seems to have balanced things out. Hopefully it will continue to work!"


"I never had allergies until I was an adult. Most of my allergies are at night making it unbearable and hard to sleep. Nasal congestion itchy eyes and mouth. This would continue into the morning. During the day time I would get constant ear pressure and cracking. My doctor put me on singular (generic was given from the pharmacy) and my symptoms have improved significantly but I get nose bleeds more often which is a side effect. I've been on it for three months now.  Still get the occasional stuffiness in the morning but much better over all."


"I have been taking Nucynta for about six months. I am 5'4, 220lb, 42 year old female. This medicine worked very good 6 months ago, still works, but not long enough, and break through pain is stronger and returns faster. Side effects for me are dizziness=mild, thirst=severe,voice change=severe, sleepiness=mild, agitation=increased enough to have to say I'm sorry. Also a strange eye problem kind of feels like my eyes are yawning, but I am not yawning. "


"Prozac is really a life saver."


"On week five of trulicity.. The first night I was beyond exhausted went to bed at 7pm slept all night.. Week 1 had every symptom and was so sick vomiting, diarrhea and this deep gut burping that smelled horrible.. Week 2 was better but week 3-5 are hit and miss. I have lost about ten pounds mainly due to little to no appetite. I take my shot on Tuesday and I vomit every Saturday. I miss about 1 day of work a week due to feeling horrible and dizzy. This drug is horrible but my sugar with other meds is down to 7 from 9.8 in 3 months.. The burping is the worst it's like rotten eggs...so gross."


"I am a 22 year old female weighing in at 268lbs. I started Adipex on 07/26/10 and only take half a pill and don't take the pill everyday for certain reasons, one being this drug stays in my system for two days. In the last week have lost 5 pounds and the worst symptoms I have had are stomach pains and diarrhea. Overall I am getting used to this medicine."


"I used for years no longer helping I'm
55 now and never had so bad. See Dr next week.... RLS is worse then back pain
I have 2 Rod's in my back"


"Managed to stabilise my mood swings on only 100mg daily, helped greatly with sleep however, did leave me feeling drowsy during the day"


"I had been using Depo for about 3 years.  I spotted for almost a year and then my period went away all together.  I had a 5lb weight gain, which isn't so bad.  I had a decreased libido.  But I think worst of all was that I had terrible acne.  I've never had acne like this.  I've been off the shot now for 8 months and I just got my period back (though irregular) about 2 months ago.  My acne is still there but seems to be getting a little better.  As a birth control, it was easy and it worked."


"Hi Ladies! I'm a 23 year old female with no children. So far I had my Skyla for 6 weeks. One of the best decisions of my life! The insertion was painless during my period and I have a low tolerance for pain but I did take ibuprofen and Tylenol at least 30 min before the procedure. I did experience deep cramps for an hour and my period vanished. I do spot on occasion nothing a thin panty liner can't take care of...but I did notice I was very emotional this week than usual...I'm not a crier but I found myself shedding tears 4/7 days this week and my sex drive is through the roof sometimes and sometimes it's very low (I've always had a low sex drive), plus I've been sleeping a lot this week. I have my 6 week check up this week so wish me luck!"


"I have suffered from acne for years. I've tried almost everything and nothing seemed to work so My dermatologist put me on loryna. The good thing about loryna is it did help with my acne. I would still get the Ocassional pimple but my break outs weren't as bad as they were before. The bad thing about Loryna is it made me gain a lot of weight and gave me horrible mood swings. It made me obsessed with food. I would be extremely hungry throughout the day and get anxious if I didn't get the chance to eat when I wanted. Also it made me so much more irritable. I would get mad very easily and snap at people. I ended up going off of the pill because although it helped with my acne, the weight gain and mood swings weren't worth it"


"I have been taking Nexavar since May 5/12. I have tenderness in my hands and feet and dry skin. Energy level is good."


"I put both bottles in a ziplock bag filled with ice in my fridge 3 hours before my first dose (I think this helped a great deal to make it able to drink quickly). Started Suprep at 6 pm - drank 16 oz mixture in 20 minutes - started 1st 16 oz of water 5 minutes later then immediately started 2nd 16 oz of water.  Was done with water by 7 pm. Had to go to bathroom for first time about 30 minutes after drinking Suprep - after about 20 minutes, I was able to take 2 Gas-x tablets as directed. Visited bathroom for the next hour on a regular basis. By 8.30 pm the rush to get to the bathroom was over. Hopefully the 6.45am prep will go as well."


"I was instantly sick to my stomach after first dose. Now I wonder if it was just exhaustion from being up all night with the PAIN. I am on day 3 and feel so much better that I may be back at work in the morning. I haven't had a UTI since I was very young and sort of forgot how dreadful it can get. My Dr said usually 48 hrs and one is over the worst and I think the side effects for me are extremely minimal!/"


"Hey ladies! I started this birth control 2 weeks ago, and have so far experienced no symptoms whatsoever (good or bad). While I wouldn't have complained if my breasts grew a bit as a lot of girls have experienced, I am pretty relieved that I didn't have any negative side-effects. Things may change, but so far I have no complaints. Don't be scared by all the negative reviews. Just give it a go, and if it doesn't work for you, you can always try another."


"I work retail at a large home improvement company. Most of the day it works fine, but a lot of times I have to do heavy lifting. It does not help with that. I have had to on numerous occasions stop and take a break just to get through the day."


"ED following very high blood pressure and just too much work/stress.  Early days on Cialis but so far very promising with no apparent side effects, just able to perform properly again - a great relief! 1 x 5mg per day, 54, 110kgs, reasonable shape."


"I began taking Nardil and Ativan after my psychiatrist had tried many other antidepressants.  I only became more anxious and panic-prone.  Gradually my "conditioned response panic attacks" began to decrease in frequency.  I began to have confidence that the medication and my own awareness of my body's response to certain situations could be controlled. I have gained weight, but I have lived a near-normal life."


"Got the Nexplanon Implant 10/13/15 after giving birth in 08/of/15... Never bled or had problems(so I thought) up until 3 weeks ago when I had to take an antibiotic for the flu and started bleeding AND NOW IT WONT STOP. At first it was just black then turned into bright red clotty blood and I thought it would go away in a few days, well after a week I thought surely it will go away soon. Now three weeks later and I'm STILL BLEEDING. It will stop for a day and come right back. Another thing my mood swings are AWFUL and I have had depression & never really noticed until someone pointed it out to me and basically had an intervention with me. I'm sick of this damn thing and I am getting it OUT! I do not recommend it for anyone."


"Recently began suffering generalized anxiety disorder, took me to the point of suicide, prescribed diazepam. The 1st time I took it I felt aggressive and annoyed easily however after a few days I can safely say it has greatly reduced my anxiety for now however my doctor has said he will not let me stay on it due to the bodies ability to easily resist the medicine over time requiring greater doses etc.  Desperately do not want to try antidepressants again (due to a previous severe reaction). We shall see."


"Worked well for my panic attacks, not as fast as Xanax but worked!"


"I'm 34 and have been suffering from erectile dysfunction since my 1st attempt to lose my virginity as a kid. I knew it was all mental, and I'd be okay most times until it was with a woman I really cared about and then like clockwork, the 1st - 3rd time I'd be too soft for penetration. Sure enough, it happened again, and then I tried the pill...wow...1 hour of non-stop action. Thanks Cialis! I'll use it again for a few more times to get comfortable with her and report back if I can wean off it successfully."


"It's been about 6 weeks on Latuda. During this time I experienced joint pain, severe anxiety and panic attacks. I have asked for advice from pharmacists, doctors and other sources. I have Ativan to help with the akathesia. Lamictal started helps with the panic and anxiety but helps the Latuda built up a wall between my brain and body.   And Latuda - I can only sleep a couple hours each night.  No drowsiness here. What I really want is to be titrated down to 20 mg and see if the side effects are negated. Otherwise looking towards seroquel...help!"


"Cymbalta helped me overcome my depression. I was on the medication for about a year and a half. I think having a great talk therapist was also key. I focused on cognitive behavioral therapy.

I did not experience any side effects while on cymbalta."


"Girlfriend was told she had it so my doctor said she was going to give me the antibiotics anyways.   2 500MG pills.  I had a huge Mexican dinner and took the pills after.  She said she felt sick after taking hers and I said I'll be fine because of my stomach of steel..  1 hour later. Puked my brains out and I feel like a new man.  No cramps.... yet.  And no diarrhea either. But I have I digestive system of steel!  Hopefully..."


"I am a nineteen year old female who has suffered with mild acne since I was about 10. I tried every cream, pill, and face wash you can imagine throughout the years and nothing completely got rid of my acne. When I was 18 my doctor recommended I try Accutane. I did a 6 month course of 10 mg a day and I can honestly say it changed my life. I would recommend to anyone who struggles with persistent acne. Before taking Accutane acne controlled my life. I would stay home just because of bad breakouts. Now my skin is flawless and I only get the occasional pimple which I can now deal with. Yes, I was dry when I was on Accutane but the end result is SO worth the 6 months of mild dryness!"


"I have been on Prozac for about 4 months. I started on 10mg and was moved up to 20mg when I was still reporting anxiety.

I have had panic and heavy anxiety attacks for over 15 years and finally decided I was done suffering. At first I was very nervous about starting the medication but once it kicked in about 3 weeks into taking the 10mg I was convinced that I needed to take this medication. I obviously have some disorder that ramps up my body and creates physical sensations that are not "normal". Since being on 20mg I am feeling a ton better and I cannot pin point any drawback thus far. Sexually I have no issues so far and aside from a momentary spaced out feeling I feel great."


"Maxalt MLT has been the best Migraine medicine for me for almost 30 years and took it during Six pregnancies without any complications. I am only sorry Insurance will allow 9 a month :..("


"I have been battling acne since I was 17. Oily skin, cysts on a monthly basis, black heads, etc. I never had "pizza face" but my acne has been very persistent for years. I am now 27, and after trying tons of topical creams and oral antibiotic  I asked for accutane. In 2 weeks I will be at my 3 month mark. Wow what a difference. My skin is softer, blackheads are almost all gone, and for the most part my skin is clear, and haven't had a cyst in a few weeks. I am still getting very mild breakouts, but nothing compared to before. I am so excited to see the final result end of this year. So far side effects are mild chap lips, joint aches, and dry nose with bloody bugers. My skin is not that dry, but I was also very oily before."


"I was in a car accident in April 2009. My doctor put me on Flexeril, hydrocodone, and ibuprofen. The hydrocodone helped me stay functional but he took me off of them. I was very careful with taking them but I guess he thought I didn't need them.  So after that, I found out after talking to others that he should have sent me to an Orthopedic. Well, I got a new doctor who referred me to an awesome Orthopedic doctor. He checked me out and took me off the Flexeril and put me on Tramadol ER. He also referred me to a wonderful physical therapy wellness center. Tramadol  has given me my life back!"


"I've only been on Loestrin for 2 days.The first day I had a terrible headache and had to call out of work due to stomach pain and lethargy [although I often feel stomach pain when I have a heavy period]. Last night I woke up at 2am in severe pain- I felt extremely nauseous, felt as if I needed to vomit and cry but I could not cry. I felt extremely nervous and sick. I'm not even going to bother taking my third pill tonight. I've taken Yazmin and Ortho Tri before and I never experienced such physical side effects. I'm going to call my doctor in the morning."


"Started 10/23 at 226lb I am now 223lb . It gives you much energy will be updating soon. I have no sodas, no juice, just water other than that no specific diet for me ."


"I've been taking Belqiv for two weeks, have loss a total of 2 lbs.

Doesn't curb my appetite, will continue to take for two more weeks,

Will probably switch to Saxenda or  Qymsia. I'll keep you posted. Very disappointed  and costly too."


"I'm 19 years old and started the patch 3 days ago. I took birth control pills for 3 years and recently had my Implanon removed after a year and a half with horrible, heavy periods and terrible mood swings. So far, the patch isn't affecting me terribly. I do have nausea in the mornings but nothing too terrible I just hope it ends soon. I will come back and post in a few months after I see how my body adjust to it."


"Over 20 years ago, I was diagnosed with myofacial pain syndrome. This was before fibromyalgia had a name. I tried everything with no relief. In the 90's, I ruptured a disc and the doctor prescribed Ultram. It not only gave relief for the disc problem, but felt like a miracle drug for fibromyalgia. I have allergies to most medications, but amazingly, I could take Ultram. Without this medication, I would not have a life. I have never suffered from any side effects. I take three tablets daily. I do not take any other medications for fibromyalgia. The only other medicine I take is for under active thyroid."


"I have IBS - and I've been taking Librax for about 1.5 months now. I do see a difference. Pain in my stomach and abdomen are gone."


"HANDS DOWN the best stuff that doesn't require a prescription for scabies that cured me, my wife and kids. The ingredient is 4.9% permethrin so just under 5%."


"I've been on Bupropion for about 10 weeks now, and while Bupropion has significantly helped me with depression, I have found that it has reduced my sex life tremendously! I'm glad to see it has increased others, but it has done the exact opposite for me."


"Side effects are the worst.. This shot has ruined my life for the past 3 weeks I've been on it.. I have body tremors,hair loss,headaches,nausea, dizzy,tiredness,weakness and that's just some.. I have gotten anxiety I dont wanna do anything besides be in my house ive never been this kind of person and its scary... Poison to my body... Do your research ...."


"Came off Celexa- I had absolutely no sex drive. They told me Welbutrin had the least amount of sexual side effects. Well, first 3 days I started with 1 time a day 150mg. I started to get migraines that would make me nauseous. Called the doctor, they told me it was probably from coming off of Celexa so after 3 days changed to twice a day dosing as directed! BAD IDEA I could not open my eyes around light it would make my head hurt so bad that I would start throwing up. Also couldn't eat, lost 5 lbs. Continued hoping it would go away but it got WORSE, started not being able to breathe and my heart was beating really fast. Almost went to the ER. So the Next I took 1 pill and next day stopped, symptoms went away! "


"I had first hive outbreak at age 63, off and one, lasting for a year.  I visited the allergy doctor once and was advised to "enjoy life more and don't do too much!  It could be stress-related".  I did not take any medicine.  Then for one and half a year, I was fine.  For the recent 3 months, I have been suffering from the second chronic hive outbreak.  They are acting up on my face, lips, eyes, and face which are new and more severe symptoms.  At the same time, my older son had the same outbreak and has been taking Zyrtec daily by his doctor's recommendation.  I have been asking a total of 13 pills from him.  Firstly I took one a day for 4 days.  They were very effective on me.  Each pill can stop the hives for 3 days."


"When taking Miralax daily it's very effective in moving your bowls. The only down side is that it takes a few days for it to start working but once it starts working you'll feel a lot better! I stopped using it because I thought I wouldn't get constipated again bad choice I got constipated it's because of the medicines I take (painkillers) anyways I recommend you take it once a day or one every other day to keep from getting constipated. Miralax works just give it time and don't miss a dose of you get severely constipated like I do!"


"I've used this product on several occasions-on all kinds of lower extremity ulcers.  It works wonderfully!  I have really been impressed with this product and how quickly it works."


"I've tried 11 different blood pressure medications and finally found one that has helped. I have been taking Bystolic now for 3 months with out any major side effects.  I occasionally feel a little anxious, I'm normally a laid back person, so I'm not sure if this is because of Bystolic. I will continue to monitor and see what happens."


"I've been using Ortho-Novum 7/7/7 for decades. My periods are very light only requiring a panty liner and experience no cramps. I stopped taking birth control for a year after my husband had a vasectomy. I was doubled over at my desk with cramps and my period was very heavy. I started using Ortho-Novum 7/7/7 again and I was back to light periods and no cramps. Once and awhile my OBGYN would give me a sample of another brand that was new on the market only for me to have heavier periods and cramps. Two issues I can't aleviate are bloating 3-5 lbs for a week and period mood swings. With AHA it's free. Without it is about $25-$30/ month."


"I guess I'm the 1%. I'm pregnant after taking it the day after."


"I was only 2 weeks on Champix, I was planning to go on more than a month but that all changed after day 9 when I exercised will power and quit smoking any small amount of cigs I still smoked. The first 3 days were the worst when it came to cravings but they were bearable compared to the cravings I had when I was trying to quit without Champix. Honestly, one of the best things I have came across. I only had minimal side effects such as nausea and headache and I felt extra tired so usually went to bed earlier but I did not mind any of those! I am so happy that I am now 9 days smoke free and barely get any cravings and even if I do they go away fairly quickly! I can finally say I am smoke free after 8 years of 20/30 cigarettes a day!"


"I was prescribed 15mg mirtazapine to help with insomnia and have been taking it for about 3 weeks.  Mostly I've slept very well but am still struggling with severe grogginess and am concerned that it's negatively impacting my mood and anxiety.  Trying to be patient for now and let it do its thing, since there are so many positive reviews."


"I hated this. I had it put in 6 weeks after I had my son and I bled non stop for 2 years. Even had to have a blood transfusion. I got it removed in February 2017 and immediately went back to normal periods. I m now 26 weeks pregnant with my second child. Will not ever get this again. It was very effective in not getting pregnant but other than that it sucked"


"I take 10mg 3 times a day, this medicine does nothing for my pain. It side effect is that make me hyper..."


"The Cymbalta took about three weeks to kick in.  The side effects started out really strong; dizziness, sweating, no appetite, sleepiness, dry mouth.  Now I've been on one month and all of my side effects are gone.  I don't have any sexual side effects.  As far as treating my depression it's amazing.  It's like the light has been turned on again and I can see the good in life.  Advice; if you're prescribed this medication, give it a good try - the side effects do diminish.  From what I see here, it seems like this works for a lot of people."


"I'm actually writing this review on behalf of my wife. If you are bipolar, please stay away from this medicine. At first it seemed to help relieve the arthritis pain, but two months later the side effects became a nightmare and the pain increased threefold. It took another three months to clear it from her system, now she is doing much better but has short term memory issues. "


"This was a life changer. I'm an RN, and now in administration. I wear a suit everyday. My underarm sweating was a real problem, and the deodorants I used were killing my clothes. Hypercare changed everything. I use it at night. Slight burning, nothing major. I can't live without it."


"I'M bipolar and ADHD. I took Tegretol and Effexor for 8 years. It worked for me but it was a death embrace. Cognitive functions related to attention willpower  judgement declined. Read about lithiums neuroprotective properties and switched, which is working out for me. I added Wellbutrin 300 XL for the ADHD  3 weeks ago and so far it has increased my depression, it might be settling down though, I seem to be getting better. This has to work. These are bad days. Wish I had taken Lithium 10 years ago it has also helped with the ADHD."


"I take Rizatriptan in conjunction with ever-changing migraine prevention meds. It makes my sinuses feel drained and parched, makes me woozy and slow in the brain, and tastes absolutely terrible.  But? If I take it at just the right time in the onset of a migraine, it is usually able to knock it out within an hour or two.  If it doesn't--if I'm too late to take it--it can't kill the migraine, but it does dull it enough that I can usually continue functioning.  Acts faster for me than Sumatriptan did.

Only giving it an 8 because you do have to take it at just the right time, and you can only take 2 in a day.  I sometimes get the back-to-back migraines and am helpless to fight the 2nd one."


"I developed insomnia when pregnant, nearly 16 years ago! Doctors have tried everything.Medidation. Melatonin, improving sleep hygeine, restoril, trazadone, seroquel, ambien, lunesta, and belsomra. Even when double the doses of these medicines, nothing helps EXCEPT belsomra. Granted, I have to take the max dose. But I have a 1 hour commute one way to work each day. I've never felt drowsy, just well rested."


"I have been given this medication twice - once after surgery to deal with nausea/vomiting from the pain medicine and again for severe morning sickness from pregnancy.  It has been very helpful, however I have experienced severe constipation as a side effect."


"I too have had symptoms of concern which is what lead me to these reviews. I had the nausea, which lasted for a couple of hours after taking it. This morning I took my medicine with salty crackers, symptoms gone. I found this info thought I would share, hope it .Low Blood Sodium (Hyponatremia) - ...

"I took this last year for a severe bacterial infection on my chin last year.  It certainly did it's job with clearing up the infection. HOWEVER, I will NEVER be taking this medication again if something similar happens in the future. The side effects I experienced were absolutely excruciating! I had heartburn that made me feel like I was going to die- a sharp pain that felt like a lump in my chest that was stabbing me from the inside. My family thought that I was just being dramatic, but after reading some reviews on here, I know a lot of people have had similar experiences. I took the drug 4x a day, and ended up gaining weight on it, because the only thing that helped dull the pain was eating a TON of food with it."


"The Feldene dulled the Temporomandibular Joint Disprder pain some but did not take it away.  I often had breakthrough pain when on the Feldene."


"Ladies please note- bone of the ways plan b works is to PREVENT ovulation, so in simple terms, if you have already ovulated- it can be useless! That isn't something that was disclosed to me, & most people have no idea! It's a catch 22 because you can usually only get pregnant when you ovulate ..anyways.. I had sex once, I took it 12 hrs after unprotected sex. Ended up getting PREGNANT. I must have already ovulated.Then I later had a miscarriage(chemical pregnancy) b/c the way my doctor explained it, plan b does three things:
1. Prevent ovulation
2. Thicken cervical fluid (stops spermies)
3. Thins lining of uterus to prevent egg implanting
I had a miscarriage b/c the egg was never able to implant. I feel horribly about it today & wanted to share, hope this helps"


"Typical story- condom broke during supposed ovulation/fertile days and took the pill the morning after (within 8 hours). In my personal experience, I had no complications or any abnormal side effects such I have read reported from others (no cramps, nauseousness or abnormal bleeding).  I was very fortunate and received my period on the date scheduled as predicted. Although I do not normally or personally advocate non-natural medications and hormones, hey, sometimes one needs to take care of themselves quickly and immediately.

Wishing every one else the same effectiveness and similiar positive experience to the one I had with the pill."


"I've been on this medicine for a week now, and its changed my life. I have been suffering with chronic nerve pain, severe depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and borderline personality disorder for a very long time.
Now I am sleeping well, feeling cheery, no suicidal thoughts, anger, less pain, no anxiety, or obsessions. Its a miracle, to alleviate pretty much all of my issues and I'm only on 10-20mg at night. No side effects."


"I've been a fatty all my life. I can testify that Belviq has answered my prayers. I have lost 12 Lbs in 3 weeks. My appetite has been cut in half with little to no side effects. I am in love with Belviq."


"I have mixed connective tissue disease, with rheumatoid symptoms.  I have severe back pain due to degenerative arthritis of the spine.  About every three months I get an 80 mg Depo Medrol IM injection.  Works wonders to knock out the inflammation.  I went to my doctor to get an injection - I was in severe pain - the nurse gave me Dexamethasone 10 mg IM instead.  My first reaction was acute euphoria - my daughter said I acted like I was drunk - and this lasted about 10 minutes.  Then I had something I can only describe as confusion, and the pain came back and it was worse than ever.  I felt terrible for days.  I reported this to my doctor and the NP, who were very cavalier and said that it should have worked the same. "


"I was diagnosed with stage 4 nsclc ,  in Oct. 2014 it had metastasized into my right humerous, after radiation and chemo the cancer went into remission,  so I was put on Tarceva 150  it's been typical side effects, face rash ,diarrhea,  tired all the time,,
but I have had 3 pet scans at 3 months apart all negative. I am a 52 year old man,  non smoker"


"holy bleeping bleep this is ungodly. i applied the 3 day cream first dose about 45 minutes ago and immediately started the absolute worst burning sensation of my whole life. it was just a mild yi and i am trying not to claw my skin off. will never do this again. had to google to make sure i wasnt having some horrible allergic reaction, but apparently this is just what it does. oh my god. help. i tried applying the external cream but that just made it worse. tried wiping everything with a warm washcloth and that worked for about 30 seconds. its 3am. the comments here are the only thing getting me through this hell. gah!"


"Getting it removed soon! I got it in October 2016 and since then have gained  15 lbs, back pain, and depression.  Period at first was all over the place, never knew when to prepare for bleeding and now I don't have one at all. But weight gain and water retention is a game changer for me."


"Today is day 3 on Latuda. First night I had to take a xanax to go to sleep, day 2 I fell asleep in my own.  Tonight I still have no symptoms.  I'm feeling better after 3 days. I am highly sensitive to medication and was extremely frightened to start it.  I'm very happy so far."


"I've been taking the meds for about about 5 months now and I can honestly say I first I was so happy, I felt like my live had purpose. More chatty, as before I suffered form major depression where I didn't leave me bed in 2 months and constantly tired to kill myself. But I could see everything much clearer. But I got too over happy on this drug and by about 9 weeks of taking it I felt depressed for a week but I carried on taking it, I went to the doctors as one day I was really happy and the other day I was really unhappy, and threw taking the medication I was they diagnosed with manic depression (bipolar disorder) worst thing I ever done?"


"I like this medication for anxiety but sometimes it makes me mean.  I don't know if anyone else experienced this however, I highly recommend this drug for anxiety over any of the other benzodiazapines."


"I switched to Sprintec almost two months ago. The first month went well. My period only lasted about 4-5 days instead of my normal 5-7. My breasts did get a bit swollen and sore the first few weeks of the pack, but it wasn't terrible. However, I have noticed that the first few days of a new pack, I get vaginal itchiness and I worry that I'm going to get a yeast infection.
This second month has been terrible, though. I started my second week of pills with some light spotting, and now I am at the end of my 3rd week and it has progressively turned into a fairly regular flow, so much so that I have to wear a tampon every day. I'm nervous to see how bad it gets next week when I'm actually supposed to be on my period."


"I wish this would go over the counter already. This stuff works great. Whether I get burnt from a flat iron or curling iron or even a bad sun burn this stuff works great! Had some left over after my daughter slipped on the deck and hit her shoulder against the BBQ. I tried neosporin for a couple days and nothing. Dr rx'd SSD cream her burn was gone the next day!"


"Didn't notice any pain relief with this medicine."


"been taking Nplate for 4  years

I take N Plate weekly . No side affects . Been keeping my count above 50 most of the time higher

count is over 100,000"


"I have been taking endep for around 2 weeks now, prior to that I was having psychotic tendencies and severe boughts of rage almost every day, which was brought on by underlying anxiety, Endep (and valium) have allowed me to live a normal life, I Have gotten back into things I enjoy I feel like a different person,I am more sociable and 100 times more happy in general I hope this helps someone in a similar situation."


"So I started this BC due to painful periods/irregular periods. I had tried a combo pill called low low estrogen and it just gave me terrible side effects. Jolivette seriously helped me out. I rarely get periods, unless I'm super stressed out, no mood swings and no pregnancy (though that didn't become a concern until last year). I've been taking it for four years now and would highly recommend this. Saved me a lot of hospital visits and made my life easier."


"I had a Septal infarct at age 46 last year which brought on overwhelming depression post recovery. Not knowing I had had the heart attack (put it down to terrible upper epigastric pain). I suffered in bed with my own concoctions and obviously made it through this period.

I went to the doctors two weeks later with a feeling of major depression and did not inform her of the abdominal pain prior to this (didn't feel related). She started me on 50mg Pristiq daily that made me feel much better in one week and my mood continued to improve over the next 3 months to better than I had felt in such a long time. I still take Pristiq (1 year later) because I dread falling back into the major depressive episode I had even if it was related to the Infarct."


"I LOVE Excedrin migraine, it's literally the only OTC pain reliever that completey gets rid of my migraines. Advil, and Tylenol just does not even touch my migraine to relieve it, but this is definitely my favorite migraine cure, gets rid of tension, light sensitivity, and all... I suffer chronic migraines due to genetics, and this I highly recommend for anyone suffering a bad migraine"


"I've been taking this medication for two and a half years now- with no ill side effects other than slight decrease in sex drive. It has significantly reduced menstrual cramps, so ibuprofen is only needed occasionally. Light cramps occur a day or two before my period, followed by light to moderate cramps on the first day.
No change in appetite, or increase in headaches. Most of all, it's effective."


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

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

"NP Thyroid" works Very well."


"I was put on two meds at the same time, so I had a difficult time deciding which drug was messing with me.  ie -- inflammation so bad that it created facial hot break outs on my face, lips.  I experienced increase in heart rate and shakes.  I went off Breo on the 5th of June and stayed on my other drug for diabetics..  Everything settled down and my normal self returned.  This morning I decide to reintroduce my Breo to find it definitely is the culprit.  Immediate hot flashes, shakes and increased heart rate.  I love how it works, but hate what it does for me.  Please take time to truly decipher which drug it is if you're on multiples."


"This is effective in terms of keeping me from getting pregnant. I was a little upset my pharmacy gave me something new without telling me, but I tried it anyways. My previous bc didn't make me lose weight or gain weight. Made it constant unless I worked out it.
This new bc I've been taking for three months now made me gain back weight that took me a long time to lose. I'm pretty upset. It makes me act out and more depressed than I am on random times. I'm more upset about it making me gain weight. I also break out a little more than usual. I already have bad acne, but I noticed I get it more often now. Either than that.  No baby. No other side effects I noticed. I will be asking my pharmacy to change my bc when I am done with my last one."


"Coming onto this medication at first I didn't notice anything in particular. I was on the train and I just noticed that my disoriented thoughts and feeling super nervous calmed quite a bit. I did notice I didn't talk as much as I did before I started the medication. It helpsx with my depersonalization. But at the same time it adds fuel to my underlying depression that I had in the past. At the same time I believe that's a good thing. Because it's helping me heal hidden broken parts of myself. It especially helps when talking to my therapist about my past. I hate how tired I am, as I am typing this I think I yawned at least 8 times. Delayed orgasms suck as well...but sometimes I take a day off from taking one pill so it's okay."


"I took one pill that gave me a terrible stomach ache that lasted three days."


"I was so scared to start this pill because of all the negative reviews, so glad I started anyways!  I had been on the Mirena for 5 years and didn't want another so my Dr prescribed me these. First, they were free under my insurance. I have not gained ANY weight and have had zero side effects! Other then making sure to remember to take them, it has been a painless transition. Don't be scared of the bad reviews, what works for some may not work for others! These have been great!"


"No heart burn but more importantly cured life long bowel problem of having to go 4 to 5 times a day down to 1 or 2."


"I started Celexa two weeks ago, it already seems to be helping. I used to worry non stop and I felt very down.  It has helped for my anxiety."


"Well, I have been on it for about 5 months and now being weaned off.  Lots of sweating, eyes hurt, joints hurt and my nerves are a bit amplified.  No more bleeding, I just hope that when I am all the way off it the pouchitus will not return."


"I am 49 years old and have been a smoker since the age of 17. I smoked a pack a day. I was never successful in stopping smoking more than a couple of days. I started taking Chantix and after a couple of days the cigarettes start to taste terrible, not enjoyable at all. Day 5, I bought what I thought was going to be my last pack of cigarettes. I smoked two out of the pack and there are 18 left in the pack in my bedroom. It is really a miracle drug, I hope they comprehensively tested this thing. Cause it is too good to be true."


"I have been taking Voltaren since I herniated a disc in my lumbar spine in 1999.  I have had NO adverse reactions.  I have had 2 surgeries, the last in 2007 and was off my medication for 8 months and as soon as I took 1 tablet, I could feel the difference! I highly recommend this medication to all my friends and anyone who needs an anti-inflammatory."


"I was given this to help with bronchiospasms due to illness.  After two months of this not working,  I got a refill.  The second one worked.  The first one did not.  I called 1-888-482-9522.  This is their complaint line.  They requested to send me a fed ex package so I could return.  I requested a refund for there is still  11 doses on the clicker.  They don't give refunds."


"Clonidine has helped me so much since I was on moriphine 80mg 3 times a day (tad) and oxy 45mg 3 tad  and methadone 10mg 3 tad. I was so scared not knowing what to expect and clonidine .3  2 tad worked so good I was surprised. Give it a chance"


"Suboxone saved my life. And that's a fact. Thank you Suboxone for helping me see through my daily Loracet dependence!"


"I have systemic lupus, and was put on gabapentin for continued pain several weeks ago, despite control of my disease I have not felt this good in 5 years. Can actually sleep through the night, and wake up in no pain! Thank you gabapentin, I now actually feel I have hope to get back to a normal life."

I'm on day 3 and although I haven't lost any weight yet, I do have more energy. No side effects yet. As far as appetite, I've noticed that I eat the same amount at meals but the fullness lasts much longer so I've completely stopped snacking. Haven't had a snack between meals since day 1. I'm hopeful"


"I get headaches from the medicine.  It worked good for the first month and now I'm back to having sleep attacks."


"I'm 58 and was a pack a day smoker for 15 years. After one day on the pills I stopped smoking. It's too easy. Minor side effects.  The second week I went onto half dosage. Because I could. Don't recommend. I'm on 25 days now, 25% dosage. I'll continue for a few weeks, gradually reduce the dosage.

Libido up. Feeling strong.

I recommend with all my heart."


"Took Moviprep and 5 hours later nothing has happened. Ready to go to bed. Have to take again at 6am"


"I have always been a huge stressor ever since I had my first son. I was 17 and after I had him I suffered from postpartum depression. I would cry all the time and started suffering from panic attacks shortly after. I did not try antidepressants until I was about 22, then started Zoloft. Took an edge off but no re-life of anxiety. Today  I am 32 still a sufferer of stress and depression . Been taking Prozac 20mg for 5 months - huge difference. My husband says he can tell. I don't have outburst and I only cry when I should. Not at the drop of a hat. I try not to stress over little things and just had the best Christmas ever because I did not think of suicide like I have in the past. I was actually happy and thankful to be here."
