"Have been taking this off and on for about 3 months. While it definitely causes bowel movements, the side effects are difficult to manage for a busy, working mom. The gas it creates is horrible (for me and those around me) and the spontaneous bouts of diarrhea make me nervous to take it in the morning. I'm taking one pill every night and one in the morning on weekends. I have had great success with Miralax in my morning coffee but when I have to sit a lot for work or travel, it's just not enough, so I tried Linzess."


"I've been using this for about 7-8 months now. Can actually wear my contacts again for the entire day and rarely use any OTC drops like systane. Has really changed my life. I did notice the stinging over time gradually increased but my friend that's eye surgeon suggested to put them in fridge. I leave the box in fridge now and apply cold and it takes all the sting away. Actually feels very soothing."


"Although the pain relief was good the side effects were horrible. Rashes from adhesive. Disorientation, brain fog, hyper-anxiety. Ended up in ER after using for 8 days."


"It has helped me more than anything I have ever tried. I was able to get off pain medicine. I have tried everything , it is wonderful."


"Valtrex is truly the only cold sore medication that will act fast and diminish your pain and blisters within days You will start feeling relief in hours. No other cold sore medication can compete. The only downside is  you have to get a prescription for it. Depending on your insurance it could be fair to pricey. If you are like me and suffer from HSV 1 & 2  ask your doctor for 30-60 tablets. Most doctors will only prescribe the recommended dosage for treatment. (5 tablets) with 1 refill. It's such a pain having to go back to doctors when you have a simple outbreak. This will ensure a good supply for whenever you might need it. Always works FASTEST when taken at first sign of sore."


"Have infection in back Moller tooth. Was prescribe Tylenol #3. Contrary to most experiences' the meds did wonders!!! Don't know if I could have lasted in that pain. I've done grugs before for recreation so I know I have a tolerance, but meds still worked."


"Medication worked well...however I could not open the bottle. I had to use plyers and a screwdriver to open the lid. I would recommend an easier to open bottle."


"3 weeks into taking Brisdelle I stopped. After a week I was experiencing horrific muscle pain in my legs which kept me awake for three nights until I was prescribed a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The anti-inflammatory calmed the muscle pain down but then I started experiencing horrific head pain and headaches; I've never had a headache in my life! I am off this drug for two days now and can't wait to feel like myself again. I'm still experiencing insomnia, headache, head pain, vertigo."


"This was great with acne.....but had spotting every month for 8 months. Finally trying something else. I'm in my 40's and needed something for my acne."


"In 2 days I feel 80% better! I did have some cramping and diarrhea, it has almost stopped. On 3rd day now-pretty strong medicine."


"After reading numerous reviews and experiences of Skyla, I wanted to share my own. I was given misoprostol (1/2 tablet) to take at bedtime the night before and the morning of. I was also advised to take ibuprofen prior to the procedure. The process was quick - I was in and out of the exam room in 10 minutes. The actual procedure took less than 2 minutes. I did not experience the pain that other women have mentioned in their reviews. I felt discomfort and pressure, but I would not say it was painful. I believe everyone has a different perception of pain and different pain tolerances, so everyone's' review is going to be different. I did have heavier cramping afterwards for about a day, but overall I am happy with the IUD."


"I was taking this for about 6 years. From 13-18. I had a few spotty teen years where I would barely take the meds and I ended up in the hospital many times. I had a very weird and high sex drive and right when I got off it went away.  I had intense night terrors  and would start yelling in my  sleep, I would sweat so much it looked like I wet myself. The nightmares got so vivid and intense I was confusing reality with my dreams, I would constantly have to ask people if something had happened or not. I lost weight when I was taking this regularly. I've been off for almost two years, and all that being said I think I may start it up again. It was one of the only depression meds that kept my emotions but kept the bad ones away for the most part"


"No infection after tube removal from our 11 year old daughter's left ear. Her left eye would hurt every time we put drops in her left ear. The right ear did not have a tube remaining. So it wasn't involved at all."


"I started w/ Victoza but I switched to Trulicity in Feb & WOW it has worked wonders, no side effects. I've lost 25 pounds including exercise & no snacking on junk food, no fried food or red meat.  This med really curbs your appetite. Works great for me! I pray it works for whomever is reading this good luck..."


"Anxiety has always been a big part of my life. A younger me was able to treat it with my brain but now that I am 45 I was not able to control my fears of what bad thing will happen next. Being the father of 2 kids including a handicapped little boy plus my wife that doesn't work, she needs to take care of my little boy. My fears of losing my job, car breaking down, my son's medical condition and a bad set of eyes were some of my major worries, all things that were unrealistic and mostly out of my control. Living in fear creates more problems then solutions. I started taking Paxil about two months ago and I will tell you that it helps. I feel normal no more fear and able to deal with life's problems."


"I have been on Effexor for the past 10 years - I started having panic attacks as a child although I didn't know at the time what was going on - when I was 17 the doctor prescribed Valium that I took periodically when my anxiety got really bad - finally when I was 40 the doctor suggested I go on a very low dosage of Effexor (37.5mg) because he was sure I had generalized anxiety disorder - what a difference this has made in my life - felt"weird" the first few weeks but now I have very little anxiety and really no side effects except maybe lower libido. I had no idea how much anxiety I had been living with all my life."


"I have literally been on almost everything including a VNS stimulator. I had 3 near fatal suicide attempts that put me on life support. I was even involuntarily committed to the state hospital. I have PTSD, MDD, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, and brain injury. Parnate is the only drug that has EVER helped. All of my friends and family say there is a profound difference from just this one medication than any absurd cocktail. It even helps with my lethargy, memory impairment, and concentration. I had no problems but the reluctance of my doctor who panicked and took me off of it despite my obvious improvement. Now I got it back! It is AMAZING  and tragically under-utilized. Insist on it before agreeing to VNS or ECT."


"This is the first birth control I've been on. I've not had too many issues with it except the first six months or so. After every period for about 4 to 7 days I always felt nauseous and had headaches. My periods have been on time since I started using it and I can almost pin point the exact time it'll start. I've gained about 10 pounds. Acne isn't much of an issue anymore. Overall pretty satisfied."


"I broke out in itchy red welts that the doctor first thought was insect bites. It continued even after I stayed indoors. I also have alopecia ariata which is auto immune. I took xyzal and after just 2 days, the itching and welts lessened and by day 5 I did not form any more welts."


"I injured my left index finger. I was blowing out the lines on a paint gun using paint thinner and I ran my finger across the tip of the gun and the thinner was injected into my finger. it was the worst pain I have ever had in my life. Dilaudid did the trick in about 20 seconds"


"This is the worst birth control pill i've ever taken. It gave me the worst acne ever. I was super moody. Mood swings, depression, frustration, headaches, and everything. Maybe the only good thing about it was that it made my cramping go away and my periods were very light and short. Other than that I hate it! It was the worst experience ever. I tried to give it some time so my body could get used to it but after 7 months there was no changes so I decided to switch to another brand. Now I am taking orhto tri-cyclen lo and I love it. My acne went away right away and my face is so clear. I have no more mood swings and I just love it. I recommend this brand to everyone."


"It's been one week and I feel EXTREMELY tired and depressed. I really want this to work so I'll give it a little more time. It's easy to put in and I don't feel it at all. But I'm sleeping like 12 hours a day, and feel like I'm swimming through mud. Also, I've been having random cramps, or sharp pains in my abdomen. "


"While duavee took away my hot flashes after one month-I continued on it for one year and I started having PAINS in my upper right side. Behind my right ribs, just by the Breast area.  It continued for a few weeks before I called my doctor and she took me off the duavee
I am now on bio identical estrogen gel and progesterone.
I have been off of duavee exactly one month today. My pain is GONE. And a bonus is my blood sugars have dropped over 20 pts  i have not changed anything other than going off of the duavee
my new meds are working great after 3weeks !!  No more hot flashes.  (I did get them for 3-4 weeks until the new meds took effect."


"I got the implant in October 2009 shortly after my second son. Recently I ended up in the hospital with a ruptured ovarian cyst. My OB says that the cysts could have been caused by the Implanon and that it needed to be taken out immediately so that my body would regulate itself again. I loved the Implanon and until recently I never had bad periods, weight gain or any of the other side effects, but be aware of all the possible risks."


"I recommend Epiduo for people with oily skin. For the most part, Epiduo is a very HARSH treatment that dries out and irritates the skin. It didn't really help my acne but it might've if I had oily skin."


"I have been dealing with adult acne for years.  The product does work but I had to give it a little time.   It's been close to a month and my skin is almost clear.  I did have a few breakouts last week but were gone 2 days later.  I also experienced some dryness and peeling after washing my face with Proactiv and applying onexton right after.  The other thing I noticed was unbearable  stomach and leg cramps the first day of my period.  I usually get cramps but 1 Tylenol normally does the trick; not this time.  My cheeks are a little rosier than normal and my chin, which is where I apply most of the medicine, is turning a bit yellow (weird).  I think it's worth a shot but get in tune with your body in case there are any side effects"


"First one I took my heart was racing I thought I just had to get use to medication.second one the same the third one I had a severe allergic reaction ended up in the hospital thought I was going to die.I would not recommend anyone ever take this terrible medication."


"I have used the kid version with success for my children. It does work well to stop a dry cough. It lasts 8 hours, rather than 12.
Unfortunately, the last time I used it for my child, she ended up dry heaving for hours and had a bout of explosive diarrhea. It stopped once the medicine wore off (about 8 hours after her dose)."


"I've only been on Belviq for a few days, but I'm already seeing it work! My appetite is curved and I'm rarely hungry. I've always struggled with never having that "full" feeling and always wanting to eat and eat, but with Belviq, I don't seem to struggle with it anymore.

I've seen some people who don't seem to respond to the medicine, which is unfortunate. However, some advice I have. If you take this medicine with an optimistic attitude, and you're conscience about what you're doing (eating habits), then I think most of the time, you'll be successful. It's not a miracle drug that just melts the weight off. You have to put forth the effort to listen to your mind more and not just your want to eat.

Good luck!!"


"Only one week in and this is the first time in over 20 year's that I haven't had a drink, surprisingly feeling positive but now aware of why I was drinking. Time to put rest of my life in order and this is the first time it's felt possible. If your sat reading thinking could it work then I would definitely give it a try, I feel like I'm getting my life back.

Just hoping this is long term."


"I have had migraines since the age of 6, I have tried everything. I unfortunately need pain medication about 10% of the time. I sure wish I would have had these injections years ago. They works most of the time. I have very severe pain and nausea and it does help."


"I've been on Savella since 2010 (5 years).  I had tried Cymbalta and Lyrica prior to Savella--both of those made me gain so much weight I became depressed.  Savella was amazing after the two weeks of hellish side effects to get on it.  I had brain zaps, manic phases, irritability, sweating, and sleeplessness--then no symptoms for 4 years.  In the last year, I've developed tachycardia--which I blame on Savella.  Interestingly, I've also developed idiopathic anaphylactic allergies in the last year. All in all, I think Savella did it's job and pulled me out of the cycle of pain.  It practically cured my vulvadynia. But I would have had another child if the pregnancy side effects were known."


"I took Propranolol for over a year,  for Anxiety. Worked brilliantly!

I've seen a lot of bad reviews here,  saying it doesn't work and it annoys me because people clearly don't understand exactly what the Propranolol does and how it works...

Propranolol does NOT take away Anxiety as in the psychological side to it, like feeling nervous. It is a medication that slows down the heart. So if you get fast heart/palpitations due to Anxiety, that is what it is used. It's not a benzo that will affect your mood, it just slows your heart down."


"I took prednisonefor bullous pemphigoid four years ago. It took over six months to get diagnosed so it was bad by the time I started prednisone. At first the doctor tried CellCept, but that did not work. Prednisone immediately took care of the itching and a week or so for rash. It took a few months to be able to wean myself off it (I started at 60mg and was dropping successfully until I hit 20mg; after that, whenever I dropped, I would flare up, so I stayed at that level for something like two months). Now I only take it when I have serious flares, for only 3-4 days. As for side effects, I had insomnia, but not too bad; I did not gain weight, but my stomach did increase in size. I am perfectly willing to put up with that for the relief."


"Almost six weeks in...not one pound. The tiredness at first had me ready for bed about 3pm. I was exhausted. Mouth a bit dry, mild headaches, but they only lasted about a week.

Very disappointed that working out seven days a week, being careful with portion size etc. showed no encouraging results."


"The most valuable antiemetic I've ever encountered.  It is fast-acting, highly effective at reducing nausea and vomiting, and carries no side effects.  What more could you ask for?"


"Had my third surgery, started using Norco for my pain, works for 2 to 3 hours. Been on it for a month going to ask doctor for stronger medication in two weeks if pain dose not decrease."


"I was given Provigil for my narcolepsy, with dosage of 200mg/3 times daily.  For the first 3 days it was amazing I had forgotten what it felt like to be 'awake'. Unfortunately, after just 3 days it was not effective at all.  My neurologist nodded knowingly when I told him.  He said that's how long it takes to metabolize.  Apparently that's when you can tell if it will work for you or not.  I'm now on Aderall, 20 mg/3 daily and it is working much better for me."


"I have been taking Pristiq for 3 days now. I take it to help with anxiety. I have lost 7 pounds in 3 days and I feel great. I'm calmer now and I have more patience with my two year old son. I had a slight problem with nausea and I had no appetite, but apart from that I can feel a huge difference in only 3 days."


"This medication has really helped my seizures plus my migraines. It is really convenient because I have both problems and I don't have to take two medications for both problems. Topamax is great."


"I have been on this medication for 3 weeks now feel better lots of energy and not hungry."


"It took them 13 years of making me a lab rat for medications, but I finally got to the right dosage of Celexa and my life did a complete 180. I've finally come out of a 43 year fog!"


"Was prescribed this by my OB for a mild case of bv. Took one pill on a full stomach. It tasted awful and I immediately threw up everything I had eaten. Then I read the paperwork from the pharmacy and it said to ask your Dr if you're less than 12 weeks pregnant... I just hit 8 weeks today. Should I trust the Dr or just say no to flagyl?"


"This medication worked wonderful for me. Totally changed my negative and depressed attitude about life. The only down side is some weight gain and very low Libido! My Doctor is actually switching me to Viibryd because of these side effects. Very scared to change medications when this one worked so well for me!"


"After taking this for 3 months, I decided to stop taking it due to unusual violent behavior. It helped with my depression, but was not worth the violent behavior I was exhibiting. I will be going back on Cymbalta."


"I have used this medicine for inner ear problems, dizziness, that causes anxiety  for 15 years 1.5 mg per day along with 100mg of Zoloft  with very little side efects. It has helped me live with stress and anxiety that I had with my ear problem. Yes the Doctors don't know why this helps with inner ear problem, but that is O.K. it works. I know that Doctors are concerned about abuse and that sure can happen to a addictive person. I have never used more than what has been prescribed to me.  This may some day come back to hurt me, but I am 72 now and it has significantly improved my quality of life. Any questions you want ask me. At rutoft64@gmail.com"


"I had all of the horrible symptoms of menopause.  Some list include 32 - that was me.  Sweating, weight gain, hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings.....on and on.
One month on Angeliq - all gone.  I am so happy.  This has made me a new woman."


"I have CHRONIC sacroiliac joint and coccyx pain that does not show up on MRI or X-ray and I've used this patch for a little over 1 month with NO side effects whatsoever.  I do notice that it takes about 2 to 3 days to feel the "full effect" of the medication and I do notice the increase in pain if I skip a day.  Maximum pain for me WITH the patch is about a 2 and that's great."


"Took the 2 gram powder 2 hours after a meal and a little over an hour, I felt like I was going to die. I violently vomited, but the doctor told me that most of the medicine was already in my system and not to worry. He told me that feeling this terrible is actually quite common with this antibiotic, especially with this high dose. I actually had to return to the hospital where I got it because I wasn't sure what was going to happen to me. I'm on day 4 and these are the symptoms I am feeling: Constant upset GI tract, stomach along with acid reflux, feeling hot, mainly in the face, feeling a little more tired than usual. I'm not experiencing diarrhea, but each time I pass stool, it feels like it is going to be diarrhea."


"I do notice a difference! Headaches were a problem at first but then they went away after about two weeks.  You recover quicker from a attack.  My left middle finger is completely normal but my right middle finger still a little purple but better for sure!  Going to take for the winter months!"


"I've been on Depakote for almost a year now. I also take Paxil and Wellbutrin. I gained around 10lbs right from the start. My weight has seemed to have stayed steady the last few months. It's extremely hard to lose it. I have been through a lot of different medications to try and treat bipolar disorder. Even with the medicines I'm on, I'm still depressed and like I don't matter. I'm very sleepy and can lay down and take a nap at any time. I started taking B Complex because I stay so sleepy. My new concern is memory. I can't think of words and dates or names like movie stars very fast and it concerns me. "


"It is proved itself it is an excellent drug of choice MDR Gr -ve bacteria, including Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter."


"I've been on this for three months now and the noticed that I've gained about 10 pounds but some of it went to my chest (which I'm not complaining about considering I'm an A cup). I didn't have any spotting like I've had with previous pills. My periods are shorter and a lot less painful. Overall I love this pill despite the little water weight gain."


"Had unprotected intercouse on day 16 of my 28 day cycle. Took ella 2 days later. Experienced mild stomachache for about an hour after, a bit of dizziness but not much else. Period came 1 day late, with no other symptoms. Highly recommend it, had way less secondary effects than with levonelle which made my period 4 days+ late and gave me horrible cramps. Good luck and don't stress too much!"


"I have been an IV opiate user for many years. I had an insanely large habit ($750-$1000day). After attending rehab, I was put on the Vivitrol injection. I had been clean for 20 days by the time I go the injection. I did still have cravings, as I was so early into recovery and had been using for so long. However, after about a week of being on the shot, I relapsed on 3.5g of heroin, and felt nothing. It can't be overrode. I spent the next year shooting. And finally started to take the pill form. The pill form will block any opiate for 3-5 days (in my experience). I am now 9 months clean, and very rarely have cravings."


"I get yeast infections pretty frequently because I have a compromised immune system. I have used this product several times, and this is the second time I have had a bad reaction to it. About an hour and a half after insertion I started experiencing deep itching/stabbing feelings... Basically REALLY intense itching and a small amount of burning. To the point I wanted my fiancé to knock me out until it was over. I don't know what my other options are, but I don't think I'm going to use this product anymore. It's been 4 hours now (about) and I'm able to at least think and move, but it is still itching/burning. Really miserable. Will be telling my ob about this on Friday. I think I'm pregnant. I hope this doesn't mess with anything."


"Differin XP has been a miracle product for me. As a girl who's had moderate breakouts since the age of 13, (am now 23!) I have to say sticking to this product has been very well-worth it! For the first 2 months, yes, my skin was very dry and even flaky, and yes it did turn me off a bit - but I was warned of this side-effect and decided to just keep going with it. I was able to battle the flakiness with use of exfoliants, and even in the first few months, I felt my breakouts were happening less often and were less severe. Now, 8 months later, the flakiness is no longer an issue and find using this product has boosted my quality of life, although I still do get the occasional few tiny pimples - it does its job."


"I am 42 and I have been on 60mg Axiron for 6 weeks. Initial total T was 240 with all the symptoms of low T. Today my total is 840 and free is 248. I feel fantastic. The first couple of days were tough as my body adjusted. The only down side for me is the minor alcohol irritation after application but well worth it.    Initially starting this medication my skin was oily, libido was out of control, my facial hair seemed to grow in within minutes, I was retaining water and my scrotum shriveled up.   After a week or so everything returned to "normal". No back hair or sudden muscle bulk. No gyno or roid rage. The product works great for me and I was shocked as it seems everyone likes bashing the topicals and raving about injections."


"I was on Cymbalta for years, but my insurance stopped paying for it.  I have a high stress job and it got so bad that I couldn't focus at work and when Sunday night came, I started tensing up and started having panic attacks again and would wake up in the middle of the night with them.  I started taking 20mg Citolopram for about a month and it was working great, but before 24 hours was up to take my next dose, I started having break-throughs and now on 40mg daily.  Just started with the higher dose today; we'll see how it goes. "


"Just started Brintellix 3 days ago. Been on effexor xr 225mgs for about 8 yrs & it stopped working. Doctor told me I should be done with effexor in about 10 days. Ugh. I dropped immediately to 150mg & starting to feel bad. I really want this to work but worried the Effexor withdrawal will get the best of me. Anyone else made this transition?"


"Ritalin one of the best medications for ADD/ADHD. It works."


"I started to feel a little bit not right down there so I knew it was a yeast infection. My first time using the first day treatment and I must say ITS NOT BAD AT ALL. I had a little mild buring for 10 min maybe less and I felt  relief, no itching still a little sore, but I can feel it working so I would recommend it, not so bad as the reviews I read"


"Yes it works. Abstinence is better if you're not ready. Same story as everyone, had to take it 5 hours after unprotected sex. Two week wait was brutal. "


"Don't be afraid of this drug it's AMAZING!! I frequently get violent migraines and prefer NON-opioid treatment since I usually drive myself to the Urgent Care or in some cases the ER and don't have help with transportation. I also noticed that I get rebound headaches from opioid based pain meds as with Toradol I do not experience that. Toradol has worked quite well intravenously as well as injected. When I visit the ER they give a cocktail of terodol/methadone/steroid. It's a great combo that covers pain, nausea and inflammation. I personally have a weak/sensitive stomach and do not experience any upset stomach or nausea from it. (however the methadone is given for nausea since I usually am dry heaving from the migraine pain)"


"I started Effexor at my lowest dose, 37.5mg and then was bumped up to 75XR and now 75XR twice a day. I can honestly say it's been life changing. Not only did my anxiety go away, but I sleep better and I can function. I used to wake up at 11-12:30pm in the morning/afternoon now I can wake up at 7am without a problem. I am really happy with this medication. Before I was hazardous, suffering from anxiety after a terrible accident. I couldn't even drive now I can. And also, it helped tremendously along with Adderall for my GPA. Went from a 2.4 to a 3.6 GPA and deans list! My life changed."


"Just diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma (cancer) of my lower lip. Waiting to undergo beam radiation therapy. Covers almost half my lip. Using Lidocaine Viscous prescribed by my Dr. to numb the intense pain he warned me I would have. He was So right. Allows me to sleep."


"I took it for a month to come off my valium it was great  no longer on any benzos Its great"


"I've only been on it a few days. Started slow which was perfect. I had crippling pain for years but only a few days on it and I've noticed small amounts of relief from pain and a wonderful burst in energy and feeling of happiness. My husband says in getting back to my old self which feels amazing. It's only been a few days but I haven't had any negative side effects. I expect to continue feeling better each day.

I had severe insomnia for 8 months. Even after crazy amounts of sleep aids it could still take me 4 hrs to fall asleep. The last 2 nights I was able to sleep with no sleep aids. First time in months! It's only the first week on the medicine but I've had a great experience so far. I have high hopes that it will continue"


"I have been on Saxenda for a week, and no side effects at all. Feeling great and do not feel hungry at all. Will update in 3 weeks"


"I tried others but they did not work as well as PENNSAID, I recommend Pennsaid, it works great on me."


"I took this medication for 2 years and found little trouble with it. Occasionally I would have longer periods, but more often than not I wouldn't have one at all. On average, I'd say I had a period every 2 months and every 4th period lasted for a week. I took this as an alternative to most birth controls, which were giving me migraines. This one only gave me a slight headache around the last couple days of the inactive pills and the first couple of days starting a new month, but nothing too terrible."


"I am a 47 year old male, and have been using Paroxetine for 3 months, having been prescribed it for severe clinical depression. It is the first time in my life that I have suffered from Mental Illness. In the 6 months prior to properly seeking help I had spiralled to the point where I could not sleep, had anxiety levels through the roof, did not want to speak to anybody, hated everything about life, and fantasized daily of suicide. I started 20mg Paroxetine daily while spending 5 weeks in a Recovery clinic in Jan/Feb. This medication has literally given me a second chance at life. It did take a couple of weeks to kick in, but now my mood is buoyant, and my anxiety is non-existent. Still not sure how it has done it. For me, a miracle pill!"


"I love Adderall XR. It helps me get through the day and make the best of everyday."


"After being hooked on it from cancer and heart surgery, I find myself unable to come off the  drug and be able to sleep. I am now stuck on 200mg a day"


"I had the Implanon fitted in May this year. From having it fitted I think I bled for nearly 9 weeks. I have put on a stone in weight and have suffered really bad mood swings feeling sometimes like I'm going mad. I felt tired all the time with no energy. I was really snappy with my children and my other half all the time.
I am normally a really laid back sort of person but this changed me into a nutter."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I'm only on my first pack but so far I have no negative side effects. This week (week 2) I feel great. I have been on Ortho Tricyclen Low and it gave me horrible mood swings, which this medicine has not. I love it!"


"I experienced severe stomach pain for 12 months on this medication. The pain was intense, every single day, to the point where I thought I was going to lose my mind. I had an endoscopy that my insurance did NOT cover at $1000 dollars and the results were inconclusive. They kept telling me I had acid refulx. Their pills didnt help at, and I had anxiety related side effects. I finally did some research on this drug and it says that rarely the properties of Aviane can cause an involuntary muscle in the stomach called the LES to relax when it is supposed to be contracting and moving, and this can cause severe stomach pain and acid back up in the throat. I finally switched over to a new brand, and I feel so much better. Not recommended."


"I've had an up and down experience with Jolivette. The first week was a bit rough with some dizziness, increase in appetite, and slightly more emotional. However, those initial symptoms disappeared within the first month. What's been driving me crazy is my period. It came a week after I began the pill (I also was incredibly emotional the day my period came). Then I had two weeks off before it came again. And again. And again. Three months on Jolivette and my periods are becoming longer (7+ days from 4 days) and with only 4 or 5 days in between. And recently my hair has started growing in straight after being solidly curly. I recently went off it and still got my period right on schedule as if I was still on it!"


"It works"


"I used this medication to avoid any allergic reaction to the dye used on the CT scan. I didn't have any reaction and the most impressive thing was, it clears up my sense of smell. I haven't had smell for years. Since I took this medication I can smell yay!"


"This is the second time I've been prescribed this medication. I don't recall any side effects (other than the freaky urine colour!). But this time, I feel like I'm about to vomit...  and it's only been about 4.5 hours since I started this medicine."


"I started Adipex in August 2008. I recently had my follow up visit and lost 11 lbs so far with little exercise. Yes, it does give me extreme energy and suppress my appetite. When I first started taking Adipex, I had severe dry mouth and couldn't sleep (didnt feel sleepy). Now I make myself go to sleep and don't have dry mouth. It's been a month since I been on this medication. I have noticed I'm losing inches from my "love handles"."


"I started on quetiapine nearly 5 months ago after switching from chlorpromazine for the mood stabilizing properties. I'm on 600mg of the XR version nightly. It took a nearly 2 months for me to notice an effect but once it did take effect there was a great difference. I went from being incredibly low with repeated drinking, self harm & hospital admissions to a deep stability I haven't experienced in years. I've not self harmed now for 3 months & also quit drinking alcohol. My mood is on very much an even keel with no extreme highs & lows. I'm just happy at a normal level & enjoying life & am dealing with things so much better. Only negative is slight weight gain but it's a price I'm willing to pay for this stability."


"Type 1a,   Probably contracted 25 years ago.      My liver panel was normal,  0-1 fibrosis with doc saying it was extremely mild at worse,  viral count at 500,000 at the beginning of Harvoni .

Viral count after two weeks was < 20.   After four weeks,  < twenty.

I've had some fatigue and a couple of mild headaches,   More in the first week or two.    I certainly feel a bit more energized,  most of the time.

Hope this clears,  I have 16 days to go on an eight week treatment."


"Kept me from getting pregnant and was easy to remember to take because of packaging, but it made me nauseous in the morning for the first couple of months."


"I went to the ER with aneurysm symptoms and was administered Stadol Via IV. The nurse explained that it would make me sleepy and help with the pain in my head. Immediately I felt a little sleepy followed by nauseous and very  warm all over. Within a few minutes I started to feel VERY uncomfortable in my own skin. I felt as if I had a horrible hangover or something. As I fell asleep I began having horrible nightmares. This experience was the first time I've been given the drug to my knowledge. Overall it made me feel kind of panicked and frightened. I hopefully will never be given this medication again."


"Started taking 3 years ago. It is important to understand more people will review for negative experiences... When I realized all the negative reviews on this birth control, I thought it was time to hear from a lutera "expert" (of course everyone's body is different)

PROS: LIGHTER periods (went from 5-7 days of super tampons to 2-3 days of regular/light tampons!), CONSISTENT periods, LESS cramps, BIGGER boobs (lol I went up from an A to a B so I personally like this), NO pregnancy!

CONS: HEADACHES (before/during/after period), MOOD SWINGS/DEPRESSION (idk if I'm crazy but I cry a lot and cause fights), BROWN periods, ACNE (never broke out before), WEIGHT GAIN (20lbs in 3 yrs)"


"In March my 2 year-old gets eczema terribly either in the diaper region or all over his body but this time he got it on his face and we've tried everything and I'm pregnant right now so I can't use the steroid cream that we usually use and you shouldn't use a steroid cream on your face. Doctor gave me this prescription since its steroid free. it's lightened up and it's not as red and he's not itching. His face does look a little scary but I think it's just his face is healing so I think it's working it's just I want instant results. My doctor also gave me a savings card from the pharmaceutical company and now my copay is $35 so ask your if they have the card. Because before that it was going to cost me $300."


"I have had constipation all my life I am now 31. When I had my children my constipation turned chronic. I tried all the normal things in the chemist. Agarol. Metamucil. Senna. Nulax. Movicol.....the list goes on.
I had a colonoscopy which confirmed nothing .
This was frustrating as I'm glad it was all clear but the nothing diagnosis didn't help me fix anything. The doctor said I have  lazy bowel as I never got the urge to go to use my bowels .
After the children I tried dulcolax which I wanted to try earlier but couldn't because pregnant.
My first time was horrendous haha the cramps oh my goodness but then the relief oh my was I cleaned out  felt amazing.
Unfortunately I take 2 every night before bed and have done every day for the last 6 years ."


"I agree this drug works very well BUT make sure you continue to read the possible side effects every so often so you can continually monitor yourself for them, EVEN the rare but documented ones.  My 16 year old daugther developed pseudotumor cerebri from taking minocycline for acne which disappeared after stopping the medication and then she started accutane - 5 months now. An eye exam today showed the same thing is happening.  Swelling of the brain that mimics a brain tumor.  HAVE YOUR EYE EXAMS WHILE ON THIS MEDICINE - PAY ATTENTION TO HEADACHES. It is a rare but documented side affect of both medications.  Will show up in an eye exam but diagnosis takes other tests including MRI and lumbar puncture to measure the spinal fluid pressure."


"I first took Yaz when I was 17. It was my first time taking birth control so I didn't know what to expect, but it was HORRIBLE. Everyday I took Yaz I fell sick with nausea and couldn't do much of anything without the fear of throwing up. Finally, when my symptoms obviously were not going away, mom called my doctor and told them that I needed something else. They then prescribed me Loryna. I never had any problems with it, and I've been taking it for three years.

Unfortunately, due to a change in my insurance, I had to stop taking Loryna because it wouldn't be covered anymore. So today, I found a package on my doorstep, and inside was Yaz. I'm too terrified to start taking it again, so I need to talk to my doctor as soon as I get the chance."


"I have tried just about every medicine for bipolar I that is known to man, and none have been effective for me. Was keeping my fingers crossed that Vraylar would be the one that would offer some relief but it proved to be yet another dud. I took this medicine at 2:00 p.m. and at 4:00 p.m. I could barely keep my eyes open anymore. I then proceeded to sleep for 24 hours, waking up only once or twice for about 5 minutes to go to the bathroom! When I finally did wake-up the next afternoon I was extremely sedated and I had the typical zombified feeling that comes along with taking an anti-psychotic. Not to mention, I was on the lowest dose of 1.5 mg. I would hate to see what 3 or 6 mg would have done to me."


"Stopped My Seiures So Far & I Have Never Felt Better"


"I'm almost 24 and have had Mirena for over 1 year now. I am SO glad I was not scared away by all the negative reviews. Sure, insertion hurt just a tiny bit, but it was about 5 seconds of a strong pinching feeling (due to an unusually sharp curve in my uterus) then a few hours of cramp pain, exactly the same as period cramps. If you can handle a monthly period you can EASILY handle Mirena's insertion!

Since I've been using Mirena, my formerly wildly irregular periods have eventually diminished to a day or 2 of extremely light spotting (1 pantyliner is more than enough) every 2 - 3 months. I have not experienced weight gain, acne, or diminished libido, & my sex life is as good as ever! "


"I took gianvi, the generic of Yaz for two months. I had some breakthrough bleeding and cramps near my original start date, and still bad cramps during the sugar pills.

My acne cleared up big time. But I started getting melasma (dark spots) on my cheeks, especially near my eyes.

No weight gain.

Huge, huge decrease in libido.

Currently trying to find something else."


"I've had back pain for 10 yrs from being an automobile mechanic. I had a fusion L3 TOS1. I'm also an addict. I've been on and abused every pain med there is so my tolerance is very high. I've found with butrans it keeps my pain away but no buzz so I don't abuse it.  It's not as effective as fentenyl but its decent."


"I have to take Levitra with dinner and it will work at 11:00 and through the night. Any earlier than 4-5 hours wait and I get a strong erection, but it fizzles out during sex. Still have moments of failure, but these can almost always be attributed to some external event or other. I am very happy with it, unless I forget to add it several hours before sex, then I can just forget the $25 for sex."


"My 4 year old was put on this medicine 4 months ago and it really seems to be working for him and his Asthma, but after reading other reviews realise that I need to keep an eye on his behaviour which does worry me as he is the most lovely 4 year old ever.  Time will tell I guess."


"I have been on Invega for over two years now and am doing great.  I live on my own and am able to do what everyone else does.  I don't work, I'm not ready for that, but caring for myself and two dogs is going great."


"After thinking that antidepressants were just a huge money maker for the pharmaceutical industry. I was prescribed 2mg of Abilify in combination with Wellbutrin (300mg), and 10mg of Prozac, I feel like a new man. I just hope that the effects don't wear off over time."


"Caused me to feel tired with no affect at all."


"I had liletta inserted May 2016, I'm 43 years old. Insertion was not too bad, a bit painful when they put the clamps on your uterus to hold it open and I guess my opening is a bit small since I have never given birth naturally (c section) so the doc had to jiggle it to get it in.  Anyway here we are 12 months later and I have bled almost every day since. I've put on 10lb  and I am eating and exercising as I have done for a long period of time. I am reluctant to remove it because the thought of getting it out is not appealing and my insurance didn't cover it so I paid around $900 to get it put in and don't want to waste that money."


"On the 3rd day of taking this medication it caused SEVERE indigestion which I had never experienced, I ended up in the ER because it also had upset my gallbladder, almost causing emergency surgery.  I eat a vegan diet and never had gallbladder trouble, this was the most severe symptom I experienced. I also would get constant, extreme, nausea at the same time every day. I also was unable to stay awake at work, or even driving to work no matter how long I would sleep. I completely lost my sex drive. And lastly, I did experience pretty heavy spotting a few days in; even though, I waited until the Sunday after my cycle to start. This medication was clearly not for me, and stopped taking on day 8."


"Not obese but med change & back surgery resulted in an extra 20  lbs not normal for me. Doc required tracking of diet & exercise before RX was given and would only write for brand name as generic ramped up potential side effects. Continued regular monitoring & input on necessary long-term diet changes. I lost 30 lbs & have been off for a week. I eat foods I love & that are healthy so no sacrifice there. The energy it provided allowed me to create an AM yoga routine each day. Side effects of dry mouth & less sleep were there but minimal. Pretty tired in the beginning of coming off them but adjusting now. The goals we set together were met & the purpose of a lifestyle change/improvement were accomplished. This is a solution to changing your lifestyle."


"I wanted to take the time to write a review in the hopes to give at least one person the self confidence boost they need to keep going with Retin-A.  I've been waiting for the day I get to write my own review.

I officially started using Retin- A .25 just under 4 months ago today.  My first day was 3 weeks before my birthday.  I remember contacting my Dermo in advance with a million questions and mostly the fear of going through THE PURGE during this busy time filled with celebrations, events, etc.  I thankfully, made the gamble and started!  I decided it was always be... I'll start next week, next month.  Let's be real, when is there ever a good time for acne?!

I can only describe the last 4 months as a roller coaster.  There will be good days. There will be days you hide inside. At some points I thought I was done purging, then it would come back.  IT TAKES TIME.  Painful cysts too, that do not go away.  I would rather have 20 white head pimples all over than 1 deep painful cyst on my face!  It was the most challenging thing I've gone through. It will test your patience.  To the point of tears, and why me's!  At one point I scheduled an emergency Dermo appt to receive Cortizon injections on 3 cysts that were almost the size of dimes!! I couldn't take it anymore.  This was 2.5 months. He sat me down and said it takes 3-4 months for results to be reached and you will hate your dermo for that time and gave me the push to continue to go forward.

Here's the good news!  I am at my 4 month mark, and I have never been more happy.  I haven't had a break out in 1.5 weeks.  I don't know the last time I've been able to say that. I can take on the CALI summer and not feel like I'm hiding.  My biggest advise is be strong!   Tell yourself everyday, it's only 4 months of the rest of your life.  Get past the 4-5 month mark and it will all be worth it!  The past will be a blur!  Good luck and you can do it!"


"I have severe calcific tendonitis in my right shoulder. ER prescribed this yesterday and started it last night. Just left the er once again for severe allergic reaction. Woke up with red puffy face a rash all over my body and it did not do anything. Granted, I only took it once but it is supposed to immediately help. It did make me a little drowsy. I will not be taking this medication again."


"Omg it's itches soooooo much. I've been waiting over an hour now for the itch to stop and it's just not happening. I'll take the pill next time. Never again will I  ever use this stuff."


"Let me first start by saying that Requip did work very well to control my restless legs syndrome. (I have terrible uncontrollable leg movement/pain). However the side effects of the HIGHER dosage made me very sick. Approximately one hour before bedtime I had taken the pill. I began to feel extremely nauseous, excruciating stomach cramps, chills, and my head started spinning. I could barely make it to the bathroom where I immediately threw up. I found relief soon thereafter from the side effects. I continued having a mild stomach ache about 4 hours later. Requip should definitely be taken by the smaller dosage at first. Then move up gradually when you feel that the dosage isn't covering all your pains. I take Requip daily and have for 10 years for my RLS. Feel better!"


"Have been on Saphris, Trileptal, and Effexor for about 3 years now for Bi-Polar disorder and depression.  I take 5mg of Saphris before bed and I can only sleep about 2 hours if I miss a dose of Saphris.  Otherwise, I sleep about 9 hours of deep and restful sleep.  I do not function well.  Not sure which drug is responsible, but I have issues with focusing and memory that I never had before.  I still have thoughts of suicide almost daily, but this is the best I've functioned on any drug and I've been on them all except Lithium."


"After 6 years of intractable migraines my Neurologist gave me Botox shots. I now go in every 3 months for shots. It has dropped my daily pain level from an 8-9 to 5-6 which I can live with, believe me it's not perfect but much better. My head is sore for about 3 days after the shots, which feels like bee stings, and I usually lay around with ice packs on my noggin."


"I'm 23 years old, I've been on Oxazepam for about a year or so now.

I honestly can't praise this medication higher.

I suffer from agoraphobia, and have been, ever since I can remember. It was always dismissed as being shy. But in high school, it hit me hardest. First mild anxiety.. Which grew over the years. But started getting regular panic attacks while outside, hits hard in an instant the moment there are too many people near me.

But since taking this drug, about half an hour before I need to leave my house, I've noticed that my crippling fear fades away, and leaves me feeling.. Well.. Not exactly happy.. But, content. Which is the closest I've been to normal ... Well.. Ever, really. Which has brought me security against my anxieties."


"Huge breakout in the beginning. Subsided and all was good- until the anxiety and depression hit me like a truck. Could not for the life of me figure out why I was so anxious to the point of not sleeping, and crying all the time. Going back to my doctor to get something else. Yikes."


"I have been on NuvaRing for about a year and a half now. I chose this method because it wasn't something that I had to take everyday. I had a few initial concerns; 1. Although my boyfriend was aware of the birth control, I was worried he may feel it and it may affect our sex life. 2. I was skeptical because it wasn't something I took everyday, so I was worried of it's effectiveness. and 3. Side effects,  weight gain, mood swings, irregular periods etc. I really have nothing bad to say about this method. My boyfriend says he can't feel it, and I've never had a slip out. I have had no noticeable weight gain, or mood swings and my period is on almost the same day every month and they have become very short and light lasting only 1 to 2 days."


"I have read so many comments on this birth control. I was on Seasonique (Doctor recommended for endometriosis) before LOSeasonique, because when I went to my doctors office and asked for samples (due to insurance changes) they were out of Seasonique, and only had Loseasonique. I asked the nurse if they were any different in dosage (wondering if I'd have more chances at getting pregnant) and she said they were about the same. LoSeasonique is my 5th pack already... and well I can say that it's helped me a lot when it comes to preventing pregnancy. Every 3 months I have had a super light period for over a year now. I have never really broke out only with stress... I just hate that I gained weight, have normally low grade fevers and cant sleep at night."


"I have lost 30 lbs and am doing much better thanks to Byetta."


"After years of talk down therapy, I reached a breaking point. A Doc gave me Xanax and it was a miracle. I was able to go to stores and travel on airlines without Panic Attacks. I have been on Xanax since 1999, .25 Mg before bedtime. This has given me my life back. I do take more for long flights where I spend 12 to 24 hours inside the airline system. I started on .25 Mg daily and 10 years later still use the same amount. If I miss a dose more than a day, I get antsy, then clammy skin and finally unjustified panic attack on 3rd or 4th day. This is well expected and acceptable response to quitting abruptly. Doc has been up front about me using this or some other drug for the rest of my life. It is well worth it."


"I got my implant in August of 2013. I have not had any problems with it. I stopped having a period until not the next January but the one after. I bled for the entire month, but I was not upset about it because over a year without a period, I'll take bleeding for a month. Haha :) yeah, I've had some spotting here and there but nothing that has really effected me. I didn't experience any weight gain. (And I have to say, birth control doesn't make you gain weight. It increases your appetite, so if you eat healthy you would be fine.) I absolutely love nexplanon."


"Concerta makes you focused and and concentrated. If you wanna get stuff done you can get it done in a breeze. You won’t notice that your enjoying what your doing, what I mean by that is like u know how homework is boring and especially if you have ADHD you have impulse problems, when you take concerta it’s like when your doing it, time passes by a lot and you won’t notice. Like you look at the time and for example it’s 2:30 while your doing your homework like I said the time will be 4:00 when you look back at your phone"


"Very good drug. Has worked very well for my daughter's ear infections."


"I am one and done on this medication.  I was at work and got so sick I had to leave and I felt as if I was having the world's worst hangover all day and into the night. It is totally not worth feeling so horrible. Even today as I write this, my stomach is still upset and I don't feel back to normal. All I can say is Contrave is one very powerful medication and I definitely experienced severe side effects.  I am going the old fashioned route for my weight loss and chock this up to live and learn.  There are no shortcuts in life."


"I started this contraceptive at 16 to control my acne and it did a great job. I had no problems, I did experience a lack of hunger it was kinda weird but it didn't effect my life. I just had to make myself eat. Now that I am 18 I have no side effects at all . I haven't really put it to the test in preventing pregnancy but I'm not pregnant and haven't been so that's also a plus."


"I've been on 2mg Klonopins for 5 years now and it works great for my mood swings caused from bipolar disorder and it also works great for my anxiety and paranoia. It relaxes you and works good for stress also Klonopin works really good for several different things."


"I've had central vertigo for years, but the nausea and vomiting have increase lately. My gastroenterologist prescribed Zofran 4mg once a day. It's a miracle! I can go out and shop without vomiting in the aisles of the grocery store. I have my life back."


"I have been using Xiidra for about a month for chronic dry eye disease and chronic keratocojunctivitis. I also use a steroid twice a day. The burning sensation when I first started using this has gone. I still get a little blurry vision after using, it lasts about 10 minutes, I still get the weird taste it also lasts about 10 minutes. Overall I'm pretty happy with the results I've had so far."


"Been taking this for about 5 years and has helped lessen pain a lot, only side effects are some swelling of the legs and feet.  Only issue is my body seems to get use to it and have to increase dosage every 6 mths - year.  Started out on 75 mg and now up to 300 mg at night and 100 mg during the day.  Have tried just about every other drug with no results, this was the only drug that offered relief."


"I've had my Paragard for over a year.  I chose Paragard because I can't use hormonal birth control.  I've never had children or been pregnant.  The insertion was painful, but not that bad.  I'd rank it as a 5/10 on the pain scale.  The cramps following insertion were awful, I'd rank them as a 7/10.  Those lasted about 24 hours.  The entire first month I had almost constant cramps.  Over the counter pain killers wouldn't even TOUCH the pain.  The first period after insertion was really hard.  The cramps were so bad.  After the first period ended things were almost normal.  I still get much more painful crampy periods, but that is diminishing.  My cervix is still sensitive and can hurt during sex. Discharge during ovulation is normal. Increased sex drive."


"I've had 2 c-sections and zero natural births, so my doctor prepared me by letting me know that the entrance to my uterus  (cervical oss) was that of a woman that has never had children, so I. Old experience more pain than usual. The insertion was a bit uncomfortable  (not really any pain) but after 3 hours and some motrin, it was completely gone. I really think it depends on the provider inserting the Liletta if you experience pain. It's interesting to me to hear some people had the worst pain in their life while others had just a few hours of cramping. To me it just shows it's not the Liletta, it's the person inserting it."


"i was prescribed this pill due to being over 40,i have been taking it around 6 months,ive had no unwanted side effects and have not had a period either,ive also lost just under 2 stone in weight which is weird as my twin sister was prescribed this pill around a year ago and has also lost alot of weight(about 3 st)"


"Very effective at stated purpose. Strong erections. I have suffered side effects of headache, back ache, and shortness of breath after drinking alcohol, which I was not  warned  to avoid."


"I took 2 for lower back pain, definitely muscle and it didn't really help."


"I've had mine since October of 2013. At first I was super excited because it was a no fuss birth control that would cause me migraines. After I had it implanted I gained 30lbs in a matter of 3 months. Although I believe some of that was stress (I'm in medical school) but I continued to work out regularly and was still gaining weight. I have not had my period since I've had it but instead I've had bloating, mood swings, lowered sex drive oh and my migraines have gotten worse. Although I love how easy it is I feel like it's taken a real toll on my body. I hate to say it, but I miss having my normal body functions, even my period!"


"I started with  implanon while in high sco  l& loved it. It cleared my skin, I only had 2-3 periods a year that we're very light I thought it was the best BC ever.  Well when my time was up I got a new implant by that time implanon had turned into nexplanon. My Dr. put it in my arm without going over the fact that it has much more side effects, especially for me who already has anemia, low blood sugar, severe depression & anxiety, etc. Well the first year wasn't to different besides more periods that were very heavy & long. Then it all got much worst my face is full of acne that I've never ever had this bad, I'm more depressed then ever with almost constant mood swings, I have no drive, constantly fatigued I can't wait to get this thing out & get a non hormonal BC!!"


"I've been prescribed doxycycline hydate . And so far it has shown exceptional results. I haven't had a single breakout 1 and a half week into its use. ^_^ quite happy as the acne has been a biig problem for me for about 3 years now ."


"I have taken Avapro 300mg for over seven years for BP 140/98. Since I began my annual physical exams consistently show BP 170/110. Like many other reviews I initially found that Avapro 300mg, taken first thing in the morning, made me feel very tired and sleepy. As a policeman, I considered it dangerous to be on the job in this condition. The solution was to take it at night, just before bedtime, when I want to be sleepy. By morning I wake up feeling great. By the end of my stressful day I think my BP may be a little higher (understandably) but by then I am home to relax. I have, at times, within an hour of taking the dose, had "blind staggers" after I stand up quickly or dozed off without realizing I had, but no other side effects."


"I am 16. It was on June 29th when this happened. Me and this guy were making out when we decided to take our clothes off and not have sex but just touch skin on skin and while we were doing this he pushed me off and told me he had come and I was totally freaking out. The next morning (within 12 hours) I bought plan b and took it. The only symptom I received was nausea and a little cramping. I read reviews online most saying it works and others were stating it didn't work but it is now July 4th and I got my period. I am thankful and relieved. If you are in a situation like me don't stress the chance of getting pregnant is so small I only took it to be safe bc well im Only 16. I hope this review helps. :)"


"I did not like it. I tried it for 2 weeks and always woke up at 2.30 am or 3.00am then I couldn't go back to sleep."


"From the first month until 6 month that I took the pills I have experienced the worst migraine ever.  The migraines were so horrible it make me throw up every time. These migraines will last up to three days if I'm lucky if I'm not lucky it will last up to a whole week. It took my four months to realize it was the pills because I was so sick from the pills I stop taking it for a week. After that my migraine went away and came back right away after taking it.  I just stop taking the pills after that and switched over. However ever since taking the sprintec I will occasionally get the same sickening migraine but it will be one day of the month now.  It has been six months since and I am still having migraines due to taking the sprintec."


"I've been taking Otezla for over 6 months now. Works great, joint pain is greatly reduced and the side effects have been very minimal."


"I have had chronic pain for many years due to my occupation. I'm only 37 and I have 50% torn shoulders, arthritis and 3 herniated discs. I take a 4mg every day at around 3 pm and up to 2 more in the evening depending on the severity of pain that day. I have been on it for roughly 3 years now. I take the same doses and haven't had to up anything. It replaced 4 meds I used to have to take.
I have no side effects at all. This medicine allows me to run a successful business and my household.
I'd be lost without it.  Most pain killers make me sick to my stomach and cause severe headaches.
Not this one!"


"I have Fibromyalgia, IBS-C,  & worst of all, OIC. I took as prescribed one day.I got horrible pain and withdrawal symptoms, Gut gurgled for a couple hours in the morning. Then Zip, Nada, Nothing!!  I was out after that. 2nd day too sick.
I thought I should give it a 2nd try 2 wks later to make sure as I had high hopes I might get back some of my life. Same again but worse. Kept repeating symptoms at odd times for 4 days so far. I dread reliving withdrawals at bedtime.
Docs should know Fibromyalgia is brain related disease so the med is crossing the blood barrier."


"I've only been taking this medication for 2 days (back pain), it takes the edge off which allows me to function better. However, I'm nauseous, dizzy and lightheaded and I can't keep my eyes open and I'm not even tired. I'm thinking about not taking it because I can't drive like this with 2 young children in my car."


"One more longtime user who's in a panic now that Drixoral isn't even available in Canada. Allergy shots haven't worked; only Drixoral helps me breathe. Without a nightly pill, I can barely wake up in the morning because I'm so congested. Please bring it back or let someone else license it cheaply, even if it's Rx only.

By the way, the reviewer below who said it was addictive and damaged her nasal passages appears to have been using Drixoral nasal spray - a totally different formula."


"I get migraines pretty often and excedrin migraine does the trick each time! It is very affordable and works like magic. Within 20 minutes the pain is pretty much gone. I throw up when I get a really bad migraine and if you take this along with a little something to eat you will be better in no time! I recommend this product to anyone who suffers from migraines."


"I have acceptable results with this medicine, although I take  several types of bi-polar medicines at the same time."


"I just started my 5th pack of Ortho Cyclen. I have never taken any other birth control pills prior to this one so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but this one has worked well for me. My boyfriend and I are sexually active and do not want any children so I decided to the pill. My first couple of months on it I did feel little different - kind of anxious and more mood swings but that went away as I continued to take the pill and my body adjusted. The positive aspects I have noticed is it protects against pregnancy, is easy to swallow, makes your skin very healthy looking (my skin is glowing after a few months of taking), and makes my periods much much lighter than they were before starting on birth control."


"You guys. I am a new person. Paxil has completely changed my life. I've been on 40 mg for 2 months and everyone has noticed a change. I can go shopping alone,  greatly improved my work life, and I actually want to be social."


"Pros: prevented pregnancy well, shortened period, cleared acne

Cons: gained 20lbs, scalp hair loss, very heavy cramps, migraines, mood swings"


"I was prescribed citalopram after a particularly stressful period at work followed by my daughter being involved in a serious accident. My anxiety and emotions were high and my resilience and ability to cope were very low. Started on 1st week 10mg increased to 20mg from week 2. Felt a bit nauseous at first but wasn't feeling great before so don't know whether it was the citalopram or just me. By about 4th week I realised that I wasn't constantly feeling tearful or breaking down easily. Now on week 7 and I feel better than I have done in ages, possibly for a few years if I look back. Was really apprehensive about starting these in the first place but so glad I did because I was so emotionally weak and now I feel so much calmer and in control"


"Biggest problem is that dosing is too erratic. Can't be dosed like typical injectable insulin. Unusable in my case with a cold or other respiratory infection. Although it saves you an injection, it actually causes more finger pricks as you don't know if you are using a correct dose."


"I LOVED Yaz, I was on it for 2 years. It caused my cramps to stop completely and I had no side effects the only thing I had was a loss in my sex drive. But I think all birth control does that to me. Only reason I switched was because I couldn't remember to take it every day anymore because my work and college was all over the place. I would go days without it."


"I had a ruptured cyst on my ovaries and had just came out of surgery, the pain was so intense I had Demerol and Gravel in an injection. It was very good but extremely strong. The only side effects I found was a dry mouth but it helped me. Best medicine I have had in a long time."


"I have been suffering from ED for along time. I was very upset as anyone else would be. A week before my 52nd birthday my significant other gifted me with Viagra. Though it worked fine, there were lots of constraints like timing the act, restricting on meal and the duration it lasted. And on my birthday we tried Cialis. Believe me we partied all night, looked like it's never going to end. I had the best night ever. Though both these drugs come with headache as side effect, in my case, I vote for Cialis for it's convenience. Though it's expensive, the return on investment is too good to weigh on its cost. Good luck guys. Go back to your youth in this time machine- CIALIS"


"Tried this as an alternative to phosphodiesterase inhibitors (Levitra and such, just because I get some side effects from these and wanted to see if got better results for less side effects). Slightly awkward application, sticking a plastic stick down, though I rather like the sensation.
Have to say it works REALLY well for me, a bit of penile pain in the area where the pellet is deposited in the urethra, but really quick onset of erection (no need for stimulation at all) and a really firm erection. 500mcg dose is good for me. Also keeps me hard for a good while after climax, so feel ready to go again after a bit of a breather!"


"I've tried ortho-cyclen and microgestin 1/20 and diane 35 before. OC made me gain weight like crazy and I couldn't deal with the bloating; I also lost a ton of muscle mass. I've been on OTC -lo for about a week but I feel such a big difference in the degree of my side effects. I'm asian, 5'2" and 118lbs for reference. I don't feel nauseous at all, very minimal bloating, my skin's a bit clearer, and my sex drive's the same! I'm nervous about the tri-phasic style of the pill as I'm very sensitive to hormone shifts, so I may update my review after a months. I think people just really need to find a pill that most closely mimics their natural hormone levels and go up or down in estrogen and progestin as they observe the changes in their body."


"Let's see. When I first started this Med was for depression and anxiety. Within a month I felt good, after two months great! I stopped taking it thinking I could manage and that made me worse after 3-6 months. I had to get back on it plus klonopin for the anxiety. Well I did it again, i started running out and couldn't afford to go to the doctor so I was talking it every other day.... I think it made it less effective. I've been so depressed, tired, anxious, dizzy etc... I was able to afford to go back the weeks ago and get my refills... So I'm three weeks in... Still feeling down and out. But I know I've got to give it the full 6-8 weeks. Just never get off!! It works well if taken right."


"Gave this a try after the culmination of several things. Another round of double depression hit me in the spring and I decided to go with drs advice and try this. This is month 7 and I have stopped it because of the following: severe headaches, claustrophobia, dizziness, stomach upset, heart pounding, severe insomnia, feeling like I wanted to scream but cant get it out. It has essentially numbed my emotions and its not a good thing. I go back in a few days to get something different. "


"I have had Fibro for 10 years (7 years since diagnosis). Amitriptyline has been the only constant help. All other medications have had no effect. Amitriptyline almost eliminates back pain (hasn't helped any other muscle pains. A dose of 75mg taken before bed gives me a full night's sleep. Side effects of weight gain, dry mouth and
urinary retention just have to be managed until I can find anything better."


"I was on Nexplanon for 8 months. It works great preventing pregnancy, however; the side effects for me at least were, and still are horrid. I had it removed 4 months ago and I am currently still coping with the side effects. I never once had a period nor spotting while on Nexplanon, I did however have headaches, migraines, horrific mood swings, no sex drive, no motivation, depression, cramping, and arm pain. Now 4 months after removal I still suffer from these same side effects only add on severe cramping without having a period, in and out of hospitals for chronic nausea, ovarian cysts, and stuff doctors haven't even been able to pin point. It's not worth it.. Use condoms!"


"I take 120 mg at night but it takes approx 6 hours to start working & is completely worn off approximately 16-18 hours after dose."


"I have always been a person who had no problem getting an erection.  Maintaining though for a great sexual experience had been becoming a problem.  The use of Cialis has given me 15 to 20 years back on my sex life.  No problems now at all maintaining a full erection throughout the whole experience with my partner.  Had a little upset stomach which only lasted a few minutes.  No major side effects at all."


"I have been taking lortab-5 for a separated shoulder i received playing racquetball and it works very well to relieve my pain. You must follow the directions given by your Doctor, take exactly as directed. If you do not experience any pain to not take lortab, only take when needed please. I have no side affects with this medication which is good because many other meds do. Will only be on this medication for a short time. Please use with caution."


"I was diagnosed with RRMS in 1993. Tried Avonex,  worst side effects body pain,  pounding headache instantly. Stopped drug after 6 wks.

In 1999 had relapse.  Double vision, numb on left side, slurred speech, dizziness, fatigue, unable to walk without falling, my mind felt odd. Doctor at DUKE university suggested Copaxone 20mg. Started in 1999. Now on 40mg 3 times a week. Had relapse may 2016.

I have itching, welts, injection pain, lumps and permanent indentations."


"Morphine has given me my life back. I was in a bad car accident 12 years ago.  I have plate and screws in my neck. Been through therapy, injections, ice, hot packs, deep stimulation, etc, and any drugs, steroids, you can name it I have pretty much been on it. I have a high tolerance to pain and was highly against drugs but due to the chronic pain I gave in. Since I declined back surgery, continued working (doing piping, heating, plumbing, taking care of home, etc) regardless of how chronic my pain was, all the medication I had been on only allowed me to function in a some what reasonable manner.  I HAD TO  KEEP WORKING but once off work I had no social or outside life. I lost my husband 1 month prior to car accident.

To try and make this long story short, the pain has become so severe a doctor in ER gave me IV morphine, Toradol and Valium..  For the FIRST TIME in 12 years I was pain free. The doctor suggested that I have my pain clinic doctor prescribe morphine. It has been 1 month now that I have been on morphine and I have to say I AM PAIN FREE."


"I've been in doxy for a about 3 weeks straight now. My skin isint getting any worse, but it's not getting any better either. It also makes me so nauseas and I throw up sometimes. It doesn't seem worth it to me right now for the medication to be doing nothing except making me sick."


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

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

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

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


"This was and continues to be the best, long term option for me. I had very little side effects ... slight headache at first but it went away after a few days."


"I love Mirena and I would recommend it. Its convenient and I have not experienced a single issue off the laundry list of complaints that some people have. I suppose my fiance would say he could feel the string, which caused some discomfort at first, but that is no longer an issue. "


"I was on Alesse for over 5 years and never had any side effects. It was recently discontinoued and I'm now realizing how great it was. Every pill I've tried since makes me sore, bloated and causes strange mood swings."


"I've been using Sumatriptan for my menstrual migraines for 5 years or so now, I'm 24 years old. Although I get several of the listed side effects (muscle weakness, tingling & burning sensation, drowsiness to name a few), it works so quickly at getting rid of the pain I couldn't be without it now. The side effects only last an hour or so, so it's completely worth it."


"This was a nightmarish experience for me. I ran out of my regular Temazepam and forgot to pick it up at the pharmacy, so I popped a 20mg Belsomra that my MD gave me a free sample of. About an hour into the drug, I started feeling very dizzy and my head felt so heavy, and I immediately felt this strong urge to knock out and fall into a deep slumber, so I went to my bed and started falling asleep. However, I started experiencing major sleep paralysis - it felt like it lasted for a long time, and my body just couldn't move even though my mind was fully aware and conscious of what was happening.

Later on during the night, I kept falling asleep and waking up sporadically. By this morning, I was beat and vowed never to take this again."


"I was on it for 4 months. While it completely stopped my bad cramps, the side effects were not worth it. Within 2 months, I became very depressed, with flat affect and irritability."


"When I first started using it, about 3 years ago, I LOVED it. I always had a problem remembering to take my pills and so this was (what I thought) the best solution. As time continued however, my sex drive took a dive, I got tired all the time, and I find that whenever I'm on the ring, I get nasty discharge that goes away when I go off for a month or two. I've also started bleeding after sex this past year! I'm now looking to go back onto the pill and can not wait! If remembering to take a pill everyday is all it takes to get myself back, then I'll do it! Glad to know I'm not the only one."


"I started taking Ativan about 4 months ago and I found it was very effective. It saved my life. I suffered really badly with depression, anxiety and panic attacks. This tablet stops the thoughts racing through my mind and calms me down straight away."


"I had my Skyla inserted in May of 2014. I have a condition that I have to take medication  which limited me from the use of other birth controls. Skyla gives me a lot more comfort because it is more effective than other methods of birth control. I do get cysts that grow on my uterus and rupture mostly before my cycle which is very painful, but the pain is worth the results! I highly recommend this birth control."


"I have the same problem.  Have been taking it "continuously" for several months to treat heavy, irregular periods.  Now, I have spotting/bleeding every day (at least 3/4 of the month).   Also, like other person who posted, I have large clots."


"I find that Lyrica has helped a lot with my sciatic pain. I am able to move better with less pain."


"I started taking this med for HBP.  I notice after I take it, my BP goes up and my pulse drops, I feel dizzy.  I don't like it.  My doc said to keep taking it, but I'm not so sure I should.  Has this happened to anyone else?"


"I had attempted suicide and was convinced my life was over prior to being on this, it saved my life plain and simple. I take risperdal to augment the effect of luvox. If you find the luvox isn't working entirely try adding on an antipsychotic, it did wonders for me. I have schizophrenia and OCD, so having an antipsychotic is absolutely essential. But yeah, Luvox has done wonders for me. It may take a few months before you feel the full effects though. I just got raised to 200mg and so far so good. Thank you Luvox."


"This is a tough med to start. But after a few weeks I got adjusted and titrated up to the right dose.  My EF was close to 35% when I started it. When I began taking this drug I would get dizzy which would instill panic episodes in me.  But I stuck with it and my EF is 55% now. I now don't even notice the Coreg unless I forget it. And when I do forget it, I get a little jittery. It's a miracle drug. Tough to start but worth the result."


"This medication has worked miracles for me. It has very few side effects and WORKS. One of the best things about it is no weight gain - it can actually cause you to lose weight! If you've got depression, I would definitely recommend Wellbutrin XL."


"I receive the highest dose of this drug for spasticity in my upper arm. All I can say is that it definitely helps me but then the drug will wear off quickly, I am now on the highest dose."


"Desiccated thyroid extract = works
Cytomel   Synthroid = works
Synthroid/T4 only thyroid medicines = DO NOT WORK
"


"I take 10mg as needed for anxiety. It works better than any other medication & it's nonadditive."


"Aleve works better than anything I've tried. Like other users have stated take 3-4 initially ever 8 hours then reduce to 1-2 ever 8 hours until gout attack is completely gone.  It took 1 day to reduce a full-on gout attack to a state where it is barely noticeable.  "


"Horrible product I took it at night about 7pm woke up with stomach hurting by 4am went to use bathroom but all that happened was major cramps and stomach in so much pain it was seriously as bad as labor contractions I was in so much pain I ended up throwing up three times because this pain came and go non-stop for about  4 1/2 hours worst pain ever. I did have a couple bowel motions but seriously not worth the horrible stomach pain and cramping, throwing up  and sweating because of it. Better off trying magnesium. My stomach region is now a day later still sore."


"Accutane saved my life. I struggled with acne since I was in grade 6. I was so hesitant for taking this drug for many years, always scared because I struggle with bad depression. I took 20mg (5'2/f/118 lbs) and that was good enough. It didnt affect my depression whatsoever. I also struggled with eating disorders so was paranoid of gaining weight. I lost weight and ran a half marathon on this drug. Don't let the forums trick you, although everyone is different. When I came off the accutane my skin broke out in AWFUL oil. It went away after a month. Other than that my skin is now pretty perfect, I miss being on it everyday to be honest. It makes your skin flawless."


"I tried taking Septra, and by the second day I was vomiting all day long. Couldn't take it long enough to cure the bladder infection and because of changing antibiotics partway through, ended up in a trip to the hospital with a kidney infection."


"I have been on Kariva for less than 2 years, and I guess I never read the drug information because my sex drive is near nothing. I even get annoyed when sex is brought up. My period is only 3 days long though, and no nausea or cramping to go with. But, the fact that my body refuses sex now is getting ridiculous. My doctor suggested it for me because I am pretty moody or my moods flipped a lot on everything else I tried. But Kariva was the last thing I could try. I'm breaking up with it. I miss being intimate with my boyfriend..."


"I've had the implant for a little over a year and I'm not happy with it. I've had severe breakouts of acne which I've never had before, my anxiety has been way worse then ever before, I've gained 20lbs, and has lowered my sex drive a whole lot. I tried to figure out for the longest time why all these things were happening to me but I soon came to the realization that it is the nexplanon. I do not recommend anyone to use this);"


"Escitalopram (Generic for Lexapro) has completely changed my life for the better. I was always angry, in a bad mood, I snapped at my husband, my kids, my dog annoyed me. I stopped caring about my looks, I rarely smiled: unless I was drinking wine. My marriage was in shambles! It wasn't until I reached rock bottom and my husband threatened to leave me that I sought help from my doctor. I am so happy and thankful that I did and that my doctor prescribed me Lexapro. I am now calm, things that once bothered me don't bother me anymore. I am happy. This medicine has saved my marriage and changed my life. I highly recommend it to anyone experiencing the same troubles I once did. It takes about 2 weeks to work so give it a chance."


"I have had pain and stiffness in my neck for quite some time and this medication has greatly improved these symptoms.  I use it every other day and it works very well."


"Then put me on 20mg, and now I am on 40 mg. Throughout this whole trial, I have noticed a huge difference. I do have less appetite like everyone else does. But that don't bother me. I am over weight already. I also concentrate way better. I am much happier during the day and my patience has increased. He did put me on Lexapro for my anxiety and that is all going good as well."


"I have only been on this med for two days, but OMG what a difference!  I have been in pain mgmt for 25 years for interstitial cystitis and during this time I went from being an energetic, happy person to nothing more than a shell. As the pain and pain med amounts increased, the quality of my so called life decreased to the point that for the last year I do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but sit on the couch and read. No cooking, no cleaning, no going out, nothing! But after only 2 days, I'm starting to feel like my old self again! Much more energy and have even taken less pain Meds! I haven't had any side effects. Can't wait to see how this goes! Sooooo grateful!"


"I have had 6 treatments. My goal is not to have bronchitis, sinusitis, or pneumonia repeatedly. For 48-72 hours post rx.my abdomen is hot pink, swollen and painful. I I then feel fantastic for 6 days and then my malaise gradually kicks back in. I had a  3 month"  virus"  at age 11. I was unable to walk for more than a few feet at a a time. I have never felt good since. Life was not what it should have been. My  " awesome" days are well worth all the downsides of this rx. ONLY regret is that I could have had it sooner. I am so thankful for this medication."


"My son is getting ready to turn 7. He has been on Metadate CD for 2 years. We first started him out on the 10mg but after six months we had to go up to 20mg. Before he started the Metadate the teacher would have to chase him around the room and keep him from doing flips during circle time. The school even suggested that I pull him out for an extra year since he was a July birthday. I took my son to the doctor and told them what the school wanted to do she tested him and then started him on the Metadate. I could tell a difference on the first pill. He has made straight A's every since. Now that he can focus and sit still he is the first one done with his work and the teachers have decided to test him for the Gifted program."


"I am a military service personnel and have been suffering depression and work in a hostile work environment. This medication has definitely helped me get through this horrific time. Helping me to love my career."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"It worked great. "


"I have been taking Alli since Aug. 20 it was suggested to me by my Dr. I was at 216lbs on Aug. 20 and I was weighed yesterday Aug. 25 I am now 210lbs 6lbs gone in 5 days!!! It has helped with my appetite I will be honest I do not diet or exercise but Alli does really work! I would highly suggest to anyone overweight!"


"It changed my life. Had anxiety every day for 4 years. My anxiety is like blowned away and I can start working with my self. Now 1 year on Cymbalta and still feeling fine."


"I originally used the liquid twice a day but switched to the once a day foam when it came out - the foam was pretty useless to me because the majority of the stuff just got stuck through my hair rather than getting on my scalp. Unfortunately my hair seemed to suffer far more - which was heartbreaking and I've gone back to the lower dose twice a day hoping it's not too late to turn it around."


"I have taken this for 5 years. I have no symptoms at all with this pill. I have tried two others before I started Tri Nessa and had terrible side effects. This pill has been great with no migraines or weight gain."


"I have had restless legs syndrome for much longer than anyone knew what it was. I was a kid in the 70's getting in trouble for "squirming" at my desk. It tends to act up more with periods of activity. When my wife and I were dating, I was at the gym and riding a bike and I would wake up in the middle of the night and do stretches and anything to try and make the feeling go away. Recently, is has become unbearable again for some reason, it is ten years after the last bad period.

I have tried Lyrica, which did not seem to help, Neurontin - which helped some but was wiping me out with tiredness and I just switched to Mirapex because I couldn't see that 1-2mg a night was doing anything but making me nauseous.

"


"Helps relieve muscle discomfort especially around the spine."


"Keeps me awake somewhat, but gives me terribly terrible headaches."


"I had the implant  inserted  in September 2015. Over the  past 2 months, I have been spotting 3/4 of the time  and  have no sex drive  at all.  I am going to have it taken out and  go back to  the pill.  My husband  was against  me getting  the implant.  But of course  I was stubborn  about and  wanted to  try it"


"I have had serious issues with a-fib together with a heart rate of 150-170 for over 3 weeks. I have had a heart ablation surgery, and am now on 3 different blood pressure/heart regulation pills.  Lately, as soon as I lay down at night, my heart has begun to pound in my chest, so badly that I can't go to sleep.  If I finally do go to sleep, it is still doing the same dance when I wake up.  My chest burns & I am exhausted for the rest of the day.

BUT, at the suggestion of an old fashioned Mexican lady who is a dear friend of mine, I began steeping two tea bags of Kava in boiling water for 5 minutes and drinking that before bed time.  My blood pressure (which is usually around 135/85  immediately goes down to NORMAL (115/75).  I can sleep!"


"I did so well on this medication!  But I can no longer afford it. The generic version I was paying $280 a month. I have since changed to Effexor, and now on Zoloft and neither one works as well.  I had been on this since 1986, but had to change last November because of the cost. I miss it so much"


"I got my Nexplanon inserted in June 2014, I got my period the month after but haven't gotten it ever since. I haven't gotten pregnant either. I'm very satisfied except for the fact that my face has been breaking out so much and gained so much weight."


"I had this put in on July, 28, 2015 and things have been bad since. This box isn't even big enough to explain it all. I felt great for maybe a week or two then bled constantly until yesterday. Then, instead of bearable pain, I now have it pretty bad with nausea. My sex drive is gone and sex is anywhere from uncomfortable to painful. No pain at the insertion site and that went well. My partner has ejaculated inside of me twice and no babies, but it's not worth it. I'm worried about resistance with removing it, but can't take it it's so bad. I'll move to another method once this is cleared out of my system and we'll see where it goes."


"This is my second day with this drug and I can already see improvement in the quality of my life. First thing every morning out of bed, I had to go to the nebulizer in order to breathe after removing CPAP mask. Today I didn't have to use it at all. I haven't noticed any side effects and don't expect any."


"I never thought that an expectorant used to treat coughs could be this effective for Fibromyalgia pain.  I am a pre-med student and when I heard about the possibility of Mucinex(Guaifenesin) being able to relieve pain caused by Fibromyalgia I decided to try it.  It has worked better than NSAID'S (Ibuprofen, Aleve, Celebrex) for me.  400mg works great (600mg if using the extended release tablets.)"


"I switched from ER morphine 30 mg sulfate to embeda 20 mg ,there are some major problems with this medication ! Recalls are still needed as the first time I took one minimal relief with quick ending ,the next one put me to sleep after I just slept 12 hours from the first one , the next one zero relief ,can't go through life like this ! The FDA needs to take a serious look at this !"


"I have had my Kyleena almost a month now. The insertion was incredibly painful for me, & I have a pretty strong pain tolerance. I got the IUD to try to lighten my periods. My cramps are unbearable because I have endometriosis. So lighter bleeding=less cramps. Anyway, the first night, the cramps were so painful that I considered going to the ER. The weeks since, I have dull, aching cramps on my right side every other day that are about an 8 on a 10 pain scale. Also have a lot of spotting and weight gain, but eating less. Side note: The procedure was supposed to be 100% covered but I got a $200 office visit charge because my "primary care physician" did not put it in; my OBGYN did. Even though with my ins plan, I don't have to pick a PCP."


"This product works in a few days, is not visible on the skin and I found no side effects. I used it twice a day and the skin was clear in 3 days. I stopped using it then and was free of symptoms for several months. Once it started re-appearing I repeated the 3 day treatment. It comes in a 40 gram tube and lasts a long time. This was for facial treatment around the nose and above the eyebrows in the middle of the forehead."


"I was on this pill for about a year 6 years ago. Everything was fine. I started taking it again for about 8 months. When I started it I was very emotional and sensitive to basically anything. Then I've had random spotting (dark brown) for about 2-3 weeks. This has happened twice in the 8 months I've been on. I've decided to stop taking this pill and try something else."


"I've been taking Latuda for about 2 months now. I enjoy life again, everyday I wake up feeling better than before. The intensity of feelings is amazing, I feel alive for the first time. No bad side effects as of now"


"Best anti psychoticI've tried. On 5mg, also on 225mg Venlafaxine for C-PTSD (helps with depression & anxiety). Best combo I've had to date, but doesn't make me energetic, but alleviates the C-PTSD, BPD and IBS, so it's a winner."


"I have suffered from chronic infections from prostate to intestinal infections and everywhere in between since I was 17 years old and am now 21 years old and been prescribed this medicine several times when I have these infections and this medication definitely helped me function like I would be able to. "


"The medication worked very quickly but I had severe stomach cramps & nausea for several hours. This was a miserable experience, one that I can't imagine subjecting myself to on a daily basis. I also experienced some mild withdrawal type symptoms- muscle cramps in my legs & some mild anxiousness."


"It is helpful in neck and spine and helps the pain in my spine and neck and helps me be able to relax without constantly having to move in odd places to sleep and sit. Therefore I found that this helps with little side effects unlike other pain medication that I've been prescribed in the past."


"I have been using this drug (known in Australia as Restavit).

I can only use half a tablet because it is so strong.

Last night my girlfriend used it with disastrous consequences.

She slept walked and talked the entire night.

Several times she apparently awoke only to begin babbling back in her dream state.

She was constantly getting up and walking around, turning on lights.

She was crying uncontrollably at times for half an hour at a time.

This morning she has no recollection of any of it. I will keep using it. She will not."


"My son has had asthma since he was born. Now doctor has given singulair and it has helped alot. You can tell a big difference when he stops taking them."


"I take Opana ER 20mg twice a day along with Oxycodone 30mg 3 times a day for break through pain, I think it works wonderful. I have severe lower back pain all day and all night. If I don't have the Opana along with the Oxycodone then it just doesn't work well at all. I have tried many other medicine and this is the one that works for sure."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"After three Nulasta shots, three weeks apart, each one caused basically the same side effects which was severe pain.  After the second/third day, the pain started and it was the worst pain I have ever experienced in my lifetime.  In the bones and muscles.  I took Advil that seemed to take the edge off but didn't take it away. Tried tylenol and it was basically the same, not much help.  The severe pain lasted for about five days.  Even seven or eight days later, I  still had serious pain in the  bones but not as bad as the first five days."


"I wanted to update my progress on sertraline. I have been taking 100 mg of zoloft for over a year now. I still have normal anxiety and the occasional panic attack but it has made my life 100% better. I'm not scared to go to work any more and actually enjoy life again.even opening my own business. I have never suffered sexual side effects and can even drink . If you need anti depressants just use them. That's what they are there for. It does not make you weak or less of a man. When you have a headache you take a pill for your head. If you have an anxiety disorder take zoloft, it's just a pill. Hope this helps anyone deciding what to do."


"I have been on Levora for 2 years, it definitely works in regards to being pregnant. My appetite has not increased to badly. I have only gained about 5 pounds. Levora seems to keep my acne in check. My periods are a lot lighter. The only problem I have is my sex drive is pretty much non-existent. It's become such a problem that I will be switching birth controls."


"The warts went away the first time for about a month but came back. Be very careful it is very very painful. Swelling, redness and peeling. I went to the urologist after having pretty bad symptoms. If the same happens this is what I was told. Soak in warm water with a bath. Use soap and water to clean. Chlorine water from pools are a plus. Good luck"


"This is my fifth year using the Implanon (second implant) and I'm unsure whether I will have another put in when this one is removed. Due to family history with thrombosis I was advised by my GP against using other methods due to a high risk of blood clotting. He advised me to use the Implanon as this is widely recognized as one of the most effective birth control methods. I have to say that even with it's disadvantages I agree. I have gained roughly 3 and half stone since using Implanon which I am very unhappy about and have tried numerous ways to lose (I even purchased a treadmill for home use and it has had little effect)! I also have unbelievable mood swings and cry at the most ridiculous things! But it does work."


"I've only had mine since January of this year and so far I love it. I haven't had any weight gain, mood swings or any of the other side effects that I've read about. I've had very light periods since it's been inserted. I would recommend this to all of my friends."


"I took this for about a year and a half. I did only have one period every 3 months, but for me it was 3 months worth of period compressed into one week of hell. One week every 3 months I could barely get to class, and when I did I was constantly going to the bathroom between classes to change pads/tampons. It also made me very emotional for about 2 of the 3 months. Overall, it did do what it promised: not becoming pregnant, and only one period every three months. However, I did not experience lighter periods."
