"I took the recommended dose (2 tablets) at about 10pm with a glass of water.

Slept like a baby at night. Woke up feeling fine. Felt slight cramps on the way to work (8am) and then again after at 10.30am I felt the urge to go. First two times I had a normal movement, soft stools released. 20 minutes later I had diarrhea and then I was perfectly fine to carry on with the rest of the day.

Overall it took a while to work on me compared to the rest of the comments below but I had no severe pain."


"I love the cooper IUD after having my second baby I was scare to get pregnant but i didnt what to tide my tubes. I was scare because they told me that i was going to get heavier and painfull periods but so far so good everything great i do have cramps but normal as i just to get them and heavier just a little more. I feel so good with the Copper IUD is just amazing.. I recomend the copper IUD more than Mirena IUD i've try the Mirena IUD and i hate it i gain 30 pounds and when they put it in it was so painfull and with the cooper IUD i didn't even feel when it was inserted.. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars to Cooper IUD I Love It.."


"This medicine doesn't work for me well... it made my nose more stuffy, dried my throat out, and kept me up... everytime I tried to sleep I would wake up coughing and feeling nausea and it seems to produce more mucus... drink lots of water!! seriously ..! But this will be my last time taking mucinex its not for everybody and its defintely not for me"


"This is seriously a miracle medicine! Ever since I went on this, it kicked in within a couple of weeks and after 3 weeks or so, my anxiety has been completely GONE, no more problems at all! I was having problems swallowing food and just swallowing my own saliva in general because of generalized anxiety disorder, every single day, it was hell, but this medicine seriously pulled me out of a dark hole and I've been on it since. Thank you Celexa! I'm so much happier on it."


"I have been a type 2 diabetic for 10 yrs now. I tried victoza in may 2016. As of today, Sept. 24th I have lost 45 pounds, I'm down to 1 metformin a day and my A1C is great!! The side effects are minimal. Mainly sour stomach but that can be controlled mostly by diet.  Low starch foods help alot. I'm so glad after trying a few newer meds that I found victoza!!!"


"I have been on this medicine for about three months. The first two months it seemed that it was really working well for me. I was no longer tired all the time and I felt completely new. Now at three months, it feels like I can't get enough of sleep. I've gone back to being sleepy all the time, only more so this time around. Before the hair loss was irritating but minimal and now it's worse. The only good side effect that I've experienced is the loss of weight that was greatly needed. I'm going back to my doctor this week, so hopefully she can explain some things to me."


"I took Celexa (citalopram) for about 8yrs. I started at 20mg dose and worked up to 40mg over the yrs. I found I was happier in the summer, and with my doctor's help would decrease my dose for a bit, but in winter I'd bump it back up again. Mood wise, Celexa did wonders for me. I was able to live happily for yrs. Missing a day or two was hell, between the brain zaps and bouts of crying I was a mess. The downsides: my libido disappeared. COMPLETELY. Gone. I used to have a very healthy sexual appetite. I also gained about 60lbs while taking this pill. I can't blame it all on the pill, but it didn't help. Overall it was a great mood enhancer, but take it with warning."


"If you take clonidine 3 times a day and xanax 3 times a day...you will not feel any withdrawal. Maybe a little more tired. I take 0.5 milligrams of xanax morning noon and night. And clonidine 10 milligrams."


"I am a 59 year old female and have been taken off of Flecainide (100 mg./day) after using it for 5 months since my occasional afib episodes stopped. I was advised to stop drinking alcohol by my electrophysiologist since he was convinced this was my trigger. I did for a while, but then started having a couple of drinks a few times a week. In the past few months, I have had 2 episodes and now use the 'pill in the pocket' method to stop them. I thank 'googling' for even knowing of this method since my doctor didn't tell me about it until I brought it up, however he did say it was fine to do and recommended taking 2 of the 50 mg. pills at one time. Within 1 hour, both times, my heart reverted back to its normal rhythm and I had no ill effects."


"I have rheumatoid arthritis already over 4 years from my 30 years. Medrol helps me everyday to get rid of pain, but on other side I was now diagnosed with Osteoporosis. For around 9 months I have been taking Medrol with methotrexate 15mg a week and Arava and I am able to go bicycling again. Before I couldn't."


"I think it's making my symptoms worse. I went from going to the bathroom most frequently at night to all day after starting Salofalk enemas and suppositories."


"dizziness/  blurred vision/ sorehead/ itchyrash  but it did help flow rate of passing urine.but it did not stop the frequent trips to toilet at night 5/6 times .no full nights sleep.seeing professor to change drug if possible."


"I tried many, many birth controls before this one.  I was having periods every other week, but this one has worked wonders; however, since being on it, I have gained about 30 pounds."


"Today was my first dose about noon, then second dose about 5:30pm. I have to confess I was a bit nervous about taking this med, I get panic attacks when taking a new meds especially because I could not find any patient reviews anywhere on the internet, guess I am the first. Also the large size and bright blue color did intimidate me. I have chronic pain from fibromyalgia, herniated disks in neck and back and now battling kidney stones. So far I have had no pain today and also have more energy than I have had in the last 6 months. Before I was on Percocet 10mg and Mscontin 15mg but had to change PM doc and she took my meds away and gave me Xartemis instead. If the rest of my days go as this one I think I will stay on this medication."


"After turning 53,  I noticed I was having some issues getting a good, hard erection so as to comfortably penetrate my wife. Sex is now awesome!,  and I now out last my wife!.  I was perscribed the 20mg pill,  but use a pill cutter,  as 10mg is a better dose for me,  and lessens the facial flushing & mild headache from the full dose,  and sometimes 5mg works well as well.  "


"I found Flomax very effective for increasing the size of my urine flow, and taking away the uncomfortable pressure I felt moments before urinating. I take the lower dose of .4MG, and have found that taking it every-other day is as effective for me as taking it daily."


"I was given samples of Diclegis to help with my all day sickness. It seems safe so I was pretty excited to take it. First night took 2 pills and the next morning no nausea but I was dead tired, had dry mouth, and had stomach aches. Literally felt like a zombie couldn't drive barely made it out of bed. I had to stop taking it because I can't miss work. The next day I had a severe migraine never had one prior. It could have been due to me stopping the medication or it wearing off but I couldn't see nor function. I'd rather deal with the nausea than the side effects honestly. I feel bad but cannot function on Diclegis. Pregnant women are already tired we don't need to add to it. I'm glad it's working for others but thought I'd share my experience."


"I have all side effects  and I have to talk to my doctor about taking it . I take 1000mg  twice a day.  It's crazy.  I hate having to take this."


"I've always had horrible cramps which where unbearable I used Advil but I always end up taking 6+ so then my doctor prescribed Naproxens 500mg and only take 2 a day and the pain totally goes always within the first 10 minutes"


"I tried Detrol LA for quiet some time, but still had "accidents". I switched to VESIcare and have not had any accidents. I have been taking it for over a year now and I am very pleased with the results."


"I'd rather weigh 1000 lbs than to take another one of these pills.  Was prescribed this by a PA who thought it was better that addipex.  I didn't even take the full dose.  Within 30 mins after taking just 1 pill I was deathly sick.  I couldn't even hold my head up.  Dizzy, headache, nauseated, throwing up, can't breathe.  feeling like  death it was so bad.  Nothing is worth feeling this bad.  1 is the lowest rating it would allow.  But my rating is a NEGATIVE 1000"


"Has lowered general anxiety while not eliminating panic attacks. Love this medication and would not like to try any other."


"This medication works for me. I can get housework done, mow the grass, and just push myself to do things now. Sometimes I can't sit still. Side effects were sore muscles and nauseous which went away after a few days. Depression is gone. Only thing is it makes me nervous a little bit and on edge so I take something else for that."


"The only bad side effect I have is very lightlight nausea after taking the pill, other than that I have had a very pleasant experience with the pill and do not plan on switching"


"When I was diagnosed with ADHD in the 3rd grade they put me on Adderall and then I became a person I was not. I had social anxiety but got exceptionally good grades in school where others failed. Adderall changes your personality and was the worst 12 years of my life, I had no friends because engaging in conversation was nearly impossible. It traps your thoughts in a prison of your mind and suppresses any creativity. "


"Started my dose 7 days ago. The first three days were fantastic, and by day 4, I felt as normal as I have in two years. Now, I am having the racing thoughts, electrical zaps and insomnia. I was struck with some strange illness 2 years ago that no doctor has yet to explain. My neurological symptoms of the illness have been a challenge at best (constant muscle twitches, head fog, stinging sensations, lack of coordination, sleeplessness, etc...). Well all of this took a toll on my emotionally as a man. I have 4 children, a wife and three business. I was put on Zoloft 2 years ago and stayed on it for 6 months, but the sexual side effects and the nausea were too much at the higher doses. Hope I can get through the break-in period and this works."


"Absolutely the worst. Had a terrible night the first night I took this drug. Back to Ambiem. "


"I started taking Loestrin 24 Fe when I was 19 years old for 4 years. I have a slim body and I'm active. My periods are light and I don't get cramps or back aches while on my period and I don't have problems with acne. My periods were just very irregular. I would sometimes get my period the next month, the next week,  and even the next three months! And they would last like 1 week, 2 weeks and even 4 weeks one time! I was on Loestrin for 4 years because it didn't give me any negative side effects. It gave me regular periods and I never got pregnant. I stopped taking it because my doc told me they discontinued it! So she prescribed  me Minastrin 24 Fe. I looked up the reviews for it and didn't like what I saw. So I've been off bc for 2 years."


"I was switched to Jolessa by my OBGYN after 7 years of hormonal migraines the day before/of starting my period while on Spintec. So far, I've had a light to moderate period the first two months and have gained around 6-7 pounds. My skin is fine, can't comment on the headaches because I've had a consistent tension headache the entire time. I'm lazy as as and just want to sit around and eat icecream. Something extremely annoying above all I think is the constipation. I'm so bloated and uncomfortable. I have a fiber rich diet so I'm assuming this is the problem. Not happy so far but I'm gonna stick with it. Will re-review later after I'm done cleaning out the freezer section at the grocery store."


"I am 19 years old and was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) when I was 17. I was prescribed Humira very quickly because my AS caused severe back, hip and ankle pain and have been taking it for over a year now. So far, the medicine has worked very well and I feel no pain whatsoever. The medicine does make me feel tired, but this is a genuine side effect."


"I have been on a number of pills in the past (aged 28, started 18) - I have been diagnosed with endometriosis so my reasoning for remaining on some sort of hormonal BC was vital to reduce the symptoms.
I was placed on Yasmin after experiencing major mood swings/depression on Yaz. Yasmin seemed to reduce these mood swings considerably. Since Yasmin my periods, although regular, have been light and cramping has been reduced/completely absent. Amazing! (5  years on it now). I have been getting migraines for the last 2 years so might have to change my BC again. One's body changes with age, I guess our meds need to too."


"I was diagnosed with h pylori approx 6 years ago and it took care of it. It recently came back It made me very sick my stomach was in pain day and night, doc prescribed pylera again. The first 3 days were hard.dizzy, stomach pain, anxiety, can't think clear, extreme fatigue, I took probiotics and always have, I learned this years ago with stomach problems. I am now on 6 day things are getting better and better. Stay strong this is a nasty bacteria. I will let you know the end result after day 10. I'm not going to lie it has been hard, might want to consider taking a couple days off or start on a weekend."


"I have a spinal cord injury. I have been on 10/325 for over 2 years now.  Certain brands work better than others.  Generics don't contain the exact same recipe as each one.  So far I have experienced 3 different ones.

Amnea marked with IP204 are by far the best pain relief ever.
Endo which are yellow (and I don't have my old bottle) are worthless for pain relief, these gave me the runs majorly.
Mallinkrt Pharm is the new ones I just got and they are not taking the edge off the pain and giving me horrid constipation.

Unfortunately, if you are a pain patient you are labelled as an addict so telling your doctor that the pill doesn't work is worthless. Ask the pharmacist before what kind they have and let them know what ones work for you!"


"I am 13 years old and I have acne pretty bad. My mom was starting to get worried so she took me to the dermatologist. She gave me Aczone and some other gel. I have used it for about two weeks every morning and night. This is amazing! I never thought anything could help me but this really did! I love it!"


"Costochondritis following bronchitis infection, taking naproxen for three months no change,"


"I have been on the Depo shot for almost a year. No period, very few side effects. EXCEPT... I've gained almost 40 pounds... The weight gain has stopped at that but it's very disconcerting. "


"It is giving me diarrhea."


"I have been on Zanaflex for about a month now.  I have tried many muscle relaxers that have NOT worked at all.  I take 4mg 3 times a day.  It is a lot better than other medications I have been on, flexerol didn't do anything at all, and Soma just made me totally loopy.  Zanaflex relaxes me so well while still allowing me to operate regularly.  I highly recommend this medicine, and for those who are just starting this be careful when driving on this.  For the first week I only took it before bed time, then on a day off work I took it shortly after waking up and noticed it didn't have any major effects on me except calming my back and neck spasms."


"I had the mirena put in four days ago, having it inserted was painful, like a heavy cramp that lasted for a minute. I bled I was already on my cycle. But so far so good. No problems so far."


"I have suffered from major depression since I was a child and my psychiatrist put me on Abilify 10mg after a suicide attempt. This medicine has helped me tremendously! I actually have energy and motivation now and without Abilify I don't know where I would be today. The only side effect I have noticed is some shaking but not to bad. I told my psychiatrist about it and she put me on Cogentin 1mg which helps alot with the shaking! I would definitely recommend this medicine!"


"I've been on Lamictal for 8 years and am seizure free with no side effects. The only problem I encountered was that I had a seizure the day after my daughter was born because my dosage post-pregnancy was too low. For those planning to have children, I'm happy to say my daughter had no birth defects. However, I chose not to breast feed her because the medicine would pass to her body. Overall, I'm incredibly happy."


"I was prescribed this medication at the ER, after a coughing fit so severe I almost passed out. I took my narcotic cough syrup before bed. I woke up about 6 hours later coughing, so I took the Tessalon Perles. My coughing stopped, but I got every side effect. My head was pounding so bad I couldn't sit or stand for more than a few minutes. I was very disappointed, because I needed something to get me through the day. This medication worked great on my cough, but I felt worse in every other perspective."


"I had nail fungus in four fingernails.  Two were half lifted half off the nail bed all the way up under the cuticles.  Jublia worked great for me.  I've been using it for 5 months and they are all grown out with good nail and look great.  I'm going to stop using it shortly.  My insurance didn't cover it and I used a Good Rx coupon which got the 4ml bottle down to $243.  I was happy to pay because my fingernails looked awful."


"I've been on trinessa for a year now I've never experienced any weight gain or nausea also it's done a good job preventing pregnancy for me. What I like most about it is out of the 10 different birth controls I've tried trinessa has kept my skin the clearest. I've had no bad experience with trinessa I do have slight mood swings here and there but Nothing too extreme."


"I feel terrible!! I can't stop bleeding!! I used the depo shoot before but then I got big so I tough I'll try the Mirena!!
Bad decision! I bleed every single day!
Going to the doctor tomorrow so take it out!"


"Great results in reducing severe facial disfigurement and maintaining smooth and soft skin. Could not do without it. Now my insurance is harassing my doctor for prior authorization for a product that has been working great for me for over 10 years,"


"I tried this for several months and loved everything about it except the migraine headaches that I would experience about 2-3 times a month and nothing would help them go away. So not sure if it's the fillers that bothered me but I am contacting my doctor to get something different. I didn't gain weight, I didn't have mood swings and everything was fine except the headaches."


"This set off my OCD, which I literally had not experienced in 10 years. I went off of it after 3 days of utter torment, anxious paranoia and feelings of extreme shame and guilt. It's been 5 days and things are starting to feel better, but I'm still waiting to feel like myself again. This was frighteningly terrible."


"I have had chronic mild depression for most of my adult life.   I took Prozac for over 20 years but it really didn't help.  I was then prescribed Citalopram 40 MG, which did make a positive impact on my depression.  When it wasn't quite enough, my doctor prescribed 2 mg of Abilify - which I have been taking for over 3 weeks.  I can only say that this med works.  I have never ever been a "morning person",  but since I started on Abilify, I have been getting up very early and taking on the day with a lot of energy and positivity.  In my view, this medication does work as a supplement to existing anti-depressant medication.  Only side effect experienced thus far is:  mild insomnia (no weight gain at all - at least so far)."


"After {stupidly} using a scented body wash (instead of my normal unscented soap for sensitive skin) to wash my lower extremities, I non-surprisingly got a very irritated yeast infection. I considered just buying Monistat or any other drugstore cream because I wanted medicine ASAP. Instead (being that it was my first yeast infection) I went to my GYN to get something stronger that would knock the infection out of the park in the best way possible. He prescribed me 3 pills to take for 3 consecutive days.I took my first pill around 6:00. About 10:00 that night I passed out. I did some research & found out that dizziness was a side effect. After a week the infection was gone. (I never passed out or even got dizzy with the 2nd pills). Thankfully"


"Celebrex has been wonderful for me--I never thought I would be able to regain mobility as well as I have.  I haven't experienced any side effects at all.  It took weeks to work, but I couldn't be more pleased with it now.  I've noticed on some of the comments here that it worked immediately for some people, but it's not always like that, so be patient and give it time--hope this helps!"


"I had bad, wheezy coughing and doctors thought it might be COPD. Then, on a hunch, my great doctor thought the coughing might be due to my GERD so she suggested Zantac150 twice a day.
 What a difference! I still need an inhaler, but my cough is otherwise gone...and it was REALLY bad for months (even with inhalers).
  Been on Zantac for about 2 weeks - no discernible side effects."


"15mg was too stimulating (actually made me feel jittery) but 7.5 did help me fall asleep faster and sleep longer.  Stopped working at all after a few months so I'm tapering off.  I did not experience any increase in appetite, though I did gain a few pounds (which I was able to lose while on the Mirt.).  Side effects were tolerable:  dry mouth, slight headache.  I confess that I'm jealous that so many people find this med super sedating - it just didn't work that way for me!"


"Im a ex flooring installer of 17 yrs (11 yrs non-union 6 union yrs) My back is wrecked, I have tears in 2 of my discs at L3/L4 and L4/L5 locations. I have no cartilage left anywhere in my lower back. My PCP put me thru the tests multiple MRI's/CT's injections, lots of predisone and then finally Norco. It took me a few days of being on Hydrocodone before the relief started, but relief it was! I gained much of my functionality back. I was moved up to the higher doses and then on to OxycontinER. Oxycontin had less side effects, and in general felt less wasted.

Im now on 60mg x3 daily with 20mg IR 3x daily. Its been very helpful in my life."


"I was on this for about 6 months when I was 15. It's the only thing that has worked for me. I was able to go to school. Had great relationships with everyone. Only had one bad mood swing and I was having them everyday before I got on it. But I also gained 20 pounds and I could never get enough to eat. I've tried about everything and this was the only thing that helped. It doesn't make you feel funny or blank like a lot of them. But if you eat healthy and can ignore the always wanting something to eat feeling, this is an amazing medicine and will change your life."


"Lost 20 pounds and was feeling terrible. Then I was diagnosed with Crohn's and now I take Humara and it has brought my weight up to normal and i've been in remission ever since!"


"Been on Sulindac 400MG daily for a couple of months with little or no relief."


"I am 47 years old. I was diagnosed with MS in March 2013. Was started on Tysabri in August 2014 as I had a relapse while I was on gilenya in June 2014. The year I was on tysabri was the most awful year in my life. I had increasing fatigue, on & off weakness in my arms and my legs. Had pain in my knees which became severe and progressive  in the last 2 months. I have been off work for 2 months now, I only walk inside the house but rarely outside, I had to stay away from all social commitments in the last 2 months."


"Until about age 56, had never had cold sore. Suddenly had spot on butt, went to clinic, PA thought it was spider bite, antibodies given, no relief.  The next time it occurred (same spot), got in to see dermatologist immediately. He stated it was a form of chicken pox virus (not sexual related). Gave Valtrex, worked great. Pharmacist also recommending taking L-LySyine daily to help prevent occurrences. Used to have only 2 occurrences a year - February and August -my work stress months.  Have not had any more occurrences."


"I started Travatan Z two weeks ago after pressure readings of 24 and 40. Now, two weeks, later my pressures were found to be 14 and 18. That's a 42% and 45% decrease! I never thought that such a drop would be possible. Some side effects have been felt, but they are insignificant compared to the high probability of blindness without treatment."


"This medicine worked very well for me within a month of taking it I became undetectable!! I had no major side effects. I do however get head aches every once and awhile but nothing I can't deal with.I currently crush mine and put it in yogurt so I'm still getting used to the taste...yuck..but its not that bad."


"Like everyone else states. The taste is god awful. I am not a big medicine person anyway but for whatever reason whenever I have a new partner. BV rears it's ugly head. I do not consume dairy so probiotics are out...any way this medication does work. It severely lessens the discharge that I normally have with BV that is how I know I have it. The leakage is awful!"


"It is only the 3rd day, but I thought I would share. Although it makes me very tired, I actually already eat less. My doctor didn't want to prescribe Adepex because of the side effects. I am a 6'2'' woman, the looks I get for being super blonde and large is a little uncomfortable. I'm beautiful, but I am too big. I am writing because I have faith in this medicine already for some odd reason. I would be happy with loosing 3 pounds a week until the 100 extra is gone. Just letting the women out there know, you are beautiful now, but you deserve to be a size you want to be!"


"bruh i woke up halfway through the night and was drowsy as hell the next day"


"I was dealing with anxiety in college my junior year and so I decided to talk to my doctor about it and he prescribed Paxil. When I started taking it, my appetite increased, energy went down, my emotions were just monotonous like I couldn't feel anything. I also gained 15 pounds in 4 months which is not normal for me, especially since I had been working out and hadn't changed my eating habits at all. After being on this drug for 5 months, I am weaning myself off it and I am feeling a million times better. I would recommend a different drug if you are having problems with anxiety."


"Omgosh! It burns like Hell, day one wasn't as bad as day 2! Omgosh!"


"I got my implant in 2014 and removed in 2017. Decided not to do the entire 4 years because in the last two years I found myself extremely tired every single day, barely wanting to get out of bed except to eat. I also noticed my my hair has thinned a lot (which I was in denial about at first) but when I researched more, I realized many other women had experienced this side effect, too. Additionally, I'm 23 years old and my sex drive has been non existent for the past year. It's been almost two weeks off and already, I feel a major difference. My energy is up again and my sex drive as well. Hopefully, my hair grows back thick, the way it used to be! Overall, this medicine isn't that bad if you can deal with the side effects."


"I have tried mobic for quite some time and just recently switched to celebrex.  Pros mobic is cheap but ineffective.  Pain is still horrible.  When I switched to celebrex made a huge difference.  Con of celebrex is its expensive but effective."


"Took Mobic after 2 days had to go to the ER,had bad rash, eye & face swelling.really terrible drug for me."


"I just started bupropion hydrochloride XL 300mg today. I was diagnosed with depression about 5 years ago and prescribed Zoloft. I took it for about a week. Zoloft made me feel awful(created anxiety attacks), so I stopped taking it thinking, "I can handle this". Well it came back and worse. I started crying uncontrollably with ruminating thoughts as well as aggression. But I still refused to admit that I was depressed. Well I finally I discussed my thoughts and feelings with my Dr. and was prescribed Wellbutrin, however was given Bupropion with my insurance plan. Some constipation and nausea, but I can control my emotions a little better. Thanks for your comments. They were helpful."


"I had Skyla put in Feb 2015. I am 31, no kiddos, I went to work immediately after getting Skyla put in. I took 2 Aleve and the pain/severe cramps were gone. I had my first period for 17 days straight. One week no period. Then 2 more weeks of period. Eventually getting lighter and lighter but still the full 7 days. Side effects are acne, gained 15lbs, moody and no cramping. I have tried everything to work off the added pounds but nothing is working despite eating healthy and working out 5 days a week. Not sure if I will be keeping it in the full 3 years, the side effects are just not fun."


"This medicine really helped my son during his severe infections."


"After taking Celexa, which worked like a wonder drug for about 8 years.  I was put on Cymbalta.  On it, I talked non-stop, was extremely sarcastic and was not able to sleep.
Enter Pristiq.  Folks, I am NOT HAPPY with this medicine.  Has anyone had the up and down ride I am experiencing.  One day I can take on the world, and sleep very well.  Within 1 or 2 following days, I can't do a THING.  Energy is gone. WOW, I do wish I could find one that helped liked Celexa helped me for years."


"Have dry eye and use drops, I found
Months after cataract surgery pressure around peripheral sides and
Bottom of eye lids , nothing helped much to alleviate the pressure. Had some Acuvail left over and out of desperation on my own I tried some .it worked surprisingly Quite Well . I checked with my Eye Surgeon and he said continue 1 drop each eye morn and eve. GOOD RESULTS"


"For Chronic Pain: I take 40 mg oxycontin 3 times per day. I had c3-c7 laminectomy, fusion, two plates. Degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, severe spinal stenosis, regional pain syndrome, bulging disks at t4-t5 and pinched spinal cord in 3 places with severe nerve damage. I was on Morphine Sulfate 30mg for 3 years, now I take the oxycontin with occasional breakthrough meds. I have found 90% of the time, if I take my meds at the same time every day it works just fine, with the occasional bad day here and there. Overall it has worked well for me. I have been on it for a year now."


"The best medicine there is.  You can function and feel no pain and at the same time sleep well. I have also been prescribed other medicines, which are either too much or not enough. This is just right."


"I have been using the Nuvaring for almost a year now and I absolutely love it. I keep mine in for the entire month and usually replace it without allowing myself to have a period. I feel as if the pros definitely out way the cons. It has proven to be 100% effective and it is so convenient for my crazy schedule. I have experienced around 25 pounds of weight gain. I was only around 110lbs when I started this birth control so the weight gain looks healthy. My breasts are very tender most of the time and they have doubled in size. I am a little more tired then usual and sometimes have dizzy spells. I do think it is very convient not having to worry about taking a pill everyday and I feel very healthy. My sex drive hasn't suffered much either!"


"Been on Gilenya for 3 months, I haven't seen any improvements! In fact I think I got worse! But who knows what will happen, injections/pills whatever but make it work!!"


"Working great for weight loss. I am also not craving cigarettes which is a bonus as I was planning to try Chantix but this is killing two birds with one stone."


"Fantastic. Suffered minor heart attack several years ago at 37 years old, am now 41 years old. Recently started having severe chest pain and was put on Micardis 80mg, after being admitted to hospital, suspected heart attack (pain was that bad), luckly , no heart attack this time and blood pressure dropped from 196 to 125 after a couple of weeks. Feel a lot better. Now on the 40mg dose."


"I've had a lifelong experience (I'm 45 now) of anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating.  This medication has helped me tremendously.  Side effects at first were feeling high and running around 100mph everywhere.  I took Xanax as prescribed (been taking it for 20 yrs.) and it curbed that feeling within days.  Experience dry mouth at times so I just drink lots of water (which is great for us anyway, right?!)  I don't think about food like I used to, in fact, there are times I forget to eat.  I love the medication because it also makes me feel in a very good mood & not uptight about the little things.  I take 30mg @ 9am & 30mg @ 5pm because it wears off after 6hrs for me.  So long to discover but worth the wait!"


"It is very good at suppressing your habits, but I do find that it leaves dry mouth, hard to have bowel movements and it does affect your eyes."


"This is the best I have found."


"I've been on this for almost 2 years now. I don't get a regular period. I get one every few months and it's still just spotting, which can get scary. I do get very emotional once a month though, worse than I ever have before, and during that time I'm not really hungry and have constant migraines."


"Suffered w migraine headaches my entire life of 42 years. As of Nov '15 i was prescribed relpax and if taken as soon as migraine starts w a glass of water and 30-40 minute nap i feel brand new, however as miraculous as this medicine is, i can no longer afford it. Medical mystery pain such as migraine headaches shouldn't be made unaffordable. It's a shame..."


"This is the first birth control I have been on, and after hearing all the birth control horror stories that friends/family had, I'm happy to say that my experience with this pill so far has been a good one! The first month or two I did experience some acne and occasional nausea, as well as going from a B to C cup (a welcome change.) However none of the symptoms have been any worse than symptoms of a period. My period lightened soon after beginning the pill packs and I stopped getting my period alltogether about 6 months after starting the pills, which (my Obgyn told me early on) was to be expected. My insurance also completely covers this pill, so that's definitely a plus!"


"I have been on Nuvigil for about year and although my body is used to it, it still works and is crucial for my quality of life. I have had numerous surgeries on my spine, plus a lot of my tendons have torn (both rotator cuffs) plus both my Achilles have tiny ruptures, leaving knots on the back of my heels. My body is falling apart, but at least the Nuvigil keeps me at a pace I can handle. Two weeks ago my insurance failed to pay and my doctor gave me sample of 150mg (I had been on 250mg before). Now I am out of it all and I have crashed. My nurse called and said that it had been approved for 6 more months, so I actually get to pick it up tomorrow. Maybe I will be able to get out of the bed now and get things done."


"I have been on Qsymia since late September 2016. So far I have lost 26 lbs. This medication has helped cut my cravings. Nothing I have tried in the past has worked this well. It's not without side effects. Some dizziness upon first starting and increased heart rate. I may need to talk with my MD about increasing my dose. I continue to loose weight but my appetite is a little heavier than its been. By far I recommend this to anyone who is serious about getting healthier and dropping some serious weight."


"Just starting my first round of medication and the dry, flaky skin is making me crazy. Hopeful the end results will be worth it but after several weeks I have not noticed any significant effects."


"This did not help my overactive bladder.  All it did was cause constipation and give me a dry mouth."


"I have had chronic joint pain for as long as I can remember and use to eat OTC meds like asprin / Tyenol like candy to reduce the pain but it just gradually worsened over time. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and the start of osteoarthritis in most of my joints. I also suffer from restless leg syndrome. To my surprise , when I went into the hospital to have a heart valve replacement and bypass surgery I was given Tramadol for the pain during my recovery and I noted that about 95% of my pain from the above mention Fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis was relieved as well along with the restless leg syndrome which disappeared completely. I continue to take one tablet daily at about 6 pm and I now feel much better and sleep like a baby at night."


"Dilaudid is an amazing pain reliever, but I do not recommend it if you have no self control. It is very easy to get addicted to. I have had dilaudid several times after operations. I also suffer horrible migraines and sometimes dilaudid is the only thing that will knock them out. There are also times that dilaudid makes it worse such as rebound migraines. It doesn't always help. The bad thing about dilaudid is that it does cause me to have bad acid reflux and also makes me extremely nauseous. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are in a tremendous amount of pain. It is very strong. Whenever they give it to you in an IV your whole body tingles and heats up. Its a very strange feeling. Like I said stay away from it unless you're in terrible pain"


"This medicine works within 30 min - 1 hour for me. I have a condition where I am allergic my own skin oils and when they get in my eye it's almost like pink eye. I have light sensitivity, excessive tearing, and pain. I love this medicine. I have used probably 20 (seriously) different eye drops and pills, OTC and prescription, and I am super happy with this one."


"i was given bupropion by my g.p. to quit smoking and for anxiety and stress.

i did the 150mg a day for 1 week and was fine,but after the first week it was time to double the daily dose to 350mg it was bad i could`nt control my thoughts or stop fixating on a task i was`nt myself at all.i went back to 150mg and after a week i just stopped smoking i knew that last one would be it and its been going on 4 months and i have`nt smoked you have to want to quit.

or never want to go through the hell of those pills again.give it a chance and stick with it.its hard but it worked 20+ years and i really feel better i don`t even think about it anymore even when people smoke beside me i just don`t feel the need anymore,its really amazing"


"On day 2 of Monistat 7 day treatment. Burns so bad that last night I cried and took a bath to wash it away. I think tonight I'll have to do the same.

I would rather be eaten by fire ants.
Do not use!"


"Took care of my depression, insomnia, and IBS"


"I had been on levothyroxine for about 6 years with no problems. I got a new doctor closer to my home & he switched me to this drug, On it just 2 weeks I got severe anxiety attacks (hyperventilating). He has given me samples so I do not know if this will be covered by my insurance yet.  I got a blood test & he said the levels were fine that I should see my internist for my anxiety.  NOT. I will go back on my regular meds for 2 weeks then try this again. I think it is this drug."


"I’ve been on Prozac, Zoloft and cymbalta in the past. Zoloft was my last med. My grandma passed away so I bumped up to 100mg felt like a zombie. At 50mg which I know is low, I didn’t feel like it helped at all. Decided to try trintellix so I went off Zoloft in 2 days. Never had any side effects ever of withdrawal. Took 10mg of trintellix I though I was going to throw up everywhere. Can’t take on an empty stomach no one told me. I’m on day 2 of 5mg and the only complaint I have is stomach ache and diarrhea bad. I really hope this goes away I’ve had even enough issues with diarrhea in the past since I had my gallbladder out. Hoping for the best and it is really expensive tho look for the coupon online !"


"I have herniated disc, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, bone spurs, and more...I have been taking Norco 10/325 for 3 months now and have surgery coming up in June...spinal fusion and laminectomy of lumbar L4 L5.  Without this medication I would not be able to get out of bed most of my days and am very thankful to have somewhat of a quality of life.  I only take the entire 10 occasionally and break them in half to manage my pain.  I do occasionally get light headed and nauseated but I have found that I can avoid this by eating small meals throughout the day and drinking lots of water."


"I always had trouble finding the right birth control for years now. Not only would certain ones contribute to a lot of weight gain or very bad mood swings, I was horrible with taking my birth control pill on time. I was having horrible cramping and pain with my periods to the point that I would have to call off from work! Since being on the Depo shot, I have had no side effects. I always eat a lot and I don't work out often so if I do gain weight, that's my own personal issue. I'm glad to read these reviews and to be informed about the bone density because my doctor clearly never told me that. I haven't had any mood swings or emotional break-downs like the other pills did to me!"


"The Depo just doesn't work for me. It was great at first, it lightened my periods but 7 months in and my period started lasting up to 2+ weeks. Back in March 2017, I asked to get my shot early (I was due in April) in hopes to stop the bleeding and it did. A month later my period came back and I took these low dosage birth control pills my doctor gave me which stopped the bleeding up until I finished the pack this month, and I started bleeding again. This time, however, I'm bleeding A LOT. My cycle's super heavy, and my normal period's before depo were never like that. This depo is messing up my body and it's made me gained weight like crazy. I'm switching to the implant in my arm method tomorrow, and I really hope that works better for me"


"Rapaflo works great for me. No really significant side effects. Don't have the sex anymore, just a wonderful understanding wife. Sex is not everything. I would rather have the flow."


"Oral Dissolving Tablets are the way to go.  It is quite discouraging vomiting up your nausea medicines."


"2nd month on the pill, this is my 2nd review. I feel nauseous a lot. No super craving. Broke out about the same. It seems like it makes me feel super sad/anxious for about 24-48. I shouldn't start until @ sat still on last week of pills, I spotted Monday in morning, it stopped. Now its Wednesday and I have to use a pantie liner. I will report again next month."


"I began this medicine a year ago and have been stable at one dosage, 40 mg, for 7 months. I have experienced a large weight gain of 20 lbs on my small frame and have become very unhappy. I trusted my physician when I chose this medication. He told me it is one of the only SSRI's that does not cause weight gain. I feel all the positive side effects I first experienced have faded. I am going to be going off the medication this week with hopes of losing the weight. Gaining so much weight for a young girl is counterproductive when considering what the medication is originally prescribed for. I am a 23 yr old female."


"I have been on Victoza since Jan 9th. I am impressed with how well things are going. I was diagnosed as insulin resistant and am overweight and would like to lose 70 lbs. I have lost 20 lbs so far. I modified my diet and faithfully use a fit bit daily to log my activity, diet and glucose levels. I am staying on a 0.6 dose and am happy to say my glucose levels are ranging between 85 and 105. I had one day of nausea."


"I just had 4 Wisdom teeth cut out on 1/29/09. Before the surgery they injected Fentanyl through my I.V. injection. After they gave me the injection I went about 10 feet down the hall and everything went relaxed and peaceful. I would say this is a wonderful drug for sedation."


"I thought this was crazy, but when you are in pain all the time and can't afford to go to the doctor, you will try anything...It really works"


"Linzess has been wonderful for me. I developed a bad fissure and the over the counter options weren't working unless I didn't need to leave the house. With Linzess, I take it at 530, consume something at 600, and about 730 I'm finding relief. For me, it takes only 2 times, 15 minutes apart to feel empty, and then I'm okay the rest of the day usually. I've been able to tailor these bathroom trips around my schedule, and my fissure is finally healed without surgery.  I haven't had any side effects as the watery stools I greatly appreciate. I love this stuff."


"I first got on depo almost 9 yrs ago. I was on it for 2yrs. Almost immediately after the first shot up until the month after I stopped I had no period. But I also had gained 45lbs after 2yrs! After stopping, my periods immediately returned to normal. I had been off of depo for 5yrs and had regular, unprotected sex with my boyfriend of 4yrs now and did not finally conceive until after 2 1/2yrs of actively trying. Finally conceived, thankfully! Decided to get depo once again and this time, I have bled/spotted off and on since I have birth randomly sometimes 2weeks at a time and it's been 8months postpartum. Decided to stop injections and try different route. Also since it took so long to get preg. before doc advised to stop sooner next time"


"I don't know if the suppository works or not because I'm too tender to use the insert. The plunger is sharp and pointy and not like a tampon at all. I'm already extremely uncomfortable and there is no way this thing is going in me.  This must have been made by a man.  I feel like I'm cutting myself and can't get the plunger in deep enough to get the cream to where it needs to be to work"


"Am allergic to penicillin & more recently Keflex -a not uncommon occurrence in those with penicillin allergy. Prior to allergy, Keflex was  slow to work & caused nausea whether taken mid meal or on an empty stomach. I've used Levaquin for stubborn sinus infections & more recently my first UTI. The first time I took it, I experienced muscle soreness. With each subsequent prescription the side effects have vanished & it's efficaciousness has not diminished .Of note for those who give up on it due to nausea & muscle aches: hydration  helps reduce the symptoms. This med is not for those with certain heart issues or on some meds for mental health diagnosis."


"Had to start out with a very low dose 12.5 and work my way up to a 150 MG.  Would up dose by 12.5 each week.  Been on it for three months and have lost 15 pounds, also my hands shake and I can't sleep at night.  Also had bad stomach pain. Only been on the 150 mg since Nov. 27th. My doctor said to give it two more months.  So far have not gotten results yet with my anxiety or depression but it can take up to six months for some of these meds to start working.  Will just have to be patient and give it more time to work.  Will try Prozac if Zoloft doesn't work. My doctor said Prozac is the easiest one to get off of. Have read some good reviews on it and have tried two other ones before Zoloft so I'm hoping this one starts to kick in soon."


"This medications was given to me after blue cross and blue shield stop covering levocetirizine which i had taken for 7 years. Singulair is awful.  Within 2 days i had nightmares so very vivid that was scary. The dreams would come in few minutes intervals during hours and hours of not being able to sleep at all. By the third day i had tremors in my legs which kept me awake anyways, during the day I thought about nothing then kill myself. By the fourth day  i broke out in hives. That's when I stopped it. I would not recommend!  I am very healthy athletic person and I love outdoors,  this medication was debilitating."


"Was untreated for bipolar 2 disorder until age 30. Diagnosed with chronic PTSD after service.

Vets. Request this from the VA. I've tried it all, and this is the only one that works for me. You wanna feel joy again? See things in a positive perspective? Realize how jacked up PTSD effects your judgement? Brothers and Sisters, this is your light.
Saved my life. Thank you thank you."


"I'm 22 years old and I had been battling with armpit hyperhidrosis since I was 12. It didn't matter if it was hot or cold outside, I would still have dripping wet underarms. My doctor recommended me to use Drysol for 7 days straight, and then 2-3 times a week. All I can say is that I'm extremely happy for the results, at the 3rd day of treatment I could notice that the hyperhidrosis had decreased 80% and by the end of the first week I had zero sweat.

I'm from Chile and the product is much more expensive here, but it's definitely worth it. It changed my life and gave me back the confidence I had lost."


"I have been on this birth control for almost three months. Overall I really like it; it makes me feel the most normal. During the first two months, I got the absolute worst night sweats I've ever had in my life. I do not sweat often at all, but I was waking up dripping in sweat. I also have been getting painful stomach cramps every morning, but they don't last more that a few minutes. Overall, this is the least problematic pill I've taken."


"I use this miracle cream for any kind of household burn.  I'm kind of clumsy and I often burn myself on the bbq grill or oven.  It heals burns, even bad ones, within a few minutes.  Sometimes, I can't even tell that I was burned at all.

I friend of mine accidentally spilled hot oil on his hand.  The damage was pretty bad and he was in a lot of pain.  I gave him my tube of "silvadene" cream and he used it for 1 day.  When I saw him a day after that, you couldn't even tell he'd been burned.  He couldn't believe how well it worked.  He made a doctor appointment immediately to get a prescription for his own tube to have on hand.

Every single human being should have some of this in their medicine cabinet."


"I am a 27 year old 5'2 women. My weight started at 242lbs on March 1st. I lost 8lbs in a month teaching myself how to eat right. I just went to the doctor on April 21st and he gave me Adipex for 30 days. I started taking it on the 22nd and today is the 25th and I have lost 7lbs in 4 days. I do have dry mouth, nausea, headache at night and have trouble sleeping. I don't have that burst of energy I hear so many talk about. I have not started working out yet, but tonight I will start that. I too do not crave sweets and I also am a huge coke drinker and I haven't wanted one since I started. All I want is water and that's a good thing. This is my first time taking Adipex and so far I am very happy with it."


"My gynecologist prescribed me Loestrin 24 Fe to help manage my irritable bowel syndrome and also, clearly, as birth control. IBS episodes are triggered by any number of things, but hormonal shifts due to periods are particularly nasty and as a student and teacher I needed something to help keep myself stable. This birth control keeps everything steady, periods are light and free of pain (maybe one ibuprofen the first day), and all in all I feel great. I am on a three month cycle, however, limiting the amount of bleeding so perhaps it's time to shift to one month for my own reassurance. Breasts did get a bit larger, but my weight has been more stable than it has ever been! Highly recommend, though remember everyone's body chemistry is different."


"I am a new user to Klonopin and wanted to share my experience because I know that people come to the net to figure out what's going to happen.  I have generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive stress disorder and things were getting a little more out of hand than normal. I was on Citalopram, and finally got switched to Viibryd which I'm looking forward to seeing the benefits. Klonopin taken at night lowers the brain activity and allows me to sleep.  Finished my third night on it and slept through 2 nights, not woken up once.  Hasn't happened in 6 months.  Its not a sleeping pill...its a calm the brain pill.  Very happy I'm getting back to normal."


"I took only 1 pill around 3pm due to severe constipation & hard stools caused by pain medications I was on last week. I was fine until around 8pm when I suddenly started having severe stomach cramps. I continued to have these & finally passed some hard stools around 9:30pm, but still am severely bloated with intense stomach pains. It is now nearly 10pm & I am stuck on the toilet with severe stomach pains & hoping to pass more stool as I can see the bloated area moving through my stomach. Do not take this medicine, the pain is not worth it! I am hoping the pains will pass soon, but very scared by other reviews I read of nausea & vomiting."


"I was on a 3 day dose, and wouldn't have been able to stay on it any longer than that. My skin became red and dry. It felt like I had a full body sunburn. It did it's job as far as my infection, but now I always list this drug when asked for drug allergies."


"No side effects.  Positive results as per reduced IBS problems and subsidence of peptic ulcer pain.
concerned that FDA has removed approval.  Anticipate many months of trying other drugs to obtain similar relief from symptoms"


"This drug is not for me. Not only did I have bad dreams and hallucinations, it seriously affected my memory. The four months I took it I didn't think anything was wrong. My family had to tell me how goofy (but funny and nice) I was acting...very weird, I'm not that nice.  Still waiting for those 4 months of memory to return. Also, my doctor had prescribed Chantix to stop smoking at the same time. Probably the combination put me in the land of Oz. Went back to taking Remeron and trying to stop smoking naturally. Hope either medicine works great for you though."


"I've used Phenergan, which is sold over the counter, as a sleeping aid for about one year now. Taken one hour before bedtime, it rarely fails to put me to sleep. The wondrous thing is that I have kept the same dose, and there are no withdrawal symptoms, if you stop using the drug for a week or two. Definitely the best substitute for any prescription sleep aid, that I've ever tried. Highly recommended as a sleep aid."


"I would have only good things to say about Strattera if I could have got pass the constipation that started after week three."


"On Thursday 04/27/17, I decided to have my PCP prescribe a med for my chronic lower [right] back pain. Once she determined I may have a strained muscle, she prescribed Methocarbamol 500 mg tablet along with Meloxicam 15 mg tablet. I took the initial dose after my 7:30 pm dinner. And a short time after, maybe 15 minutes, I began to have moderate chest pains, and a dulled heart beat. This lasted only a few minutes, not long enough to warrant a visit to the emergency room, I gathered. The following morning, I woke up to a swollen face [side effect of meds]. Friday 04/28/17, I informed my PCP's office I do not plan to take any more of either med.

Just wondering how long the facial swelling will last."


"Given that I've had issues with addiction, my previous psychiatrist would not prescribe me any benzos and instead prescribed me Vistaril, which I found pretty useless. For someone with acute panic and anxiety issues, benzos really should be the first and last word on the topic. Ativan is great. Because of my addiction history, I am very careful with it and never take it more than prescribed. It is enough to make me feel "evened out" during the day without making me loopy, euphoric or sleepy. And at night, it puts me out without giving me a "hangover" the following day like Valium does."


"This is my second yeast infection I have had and the doc that I went to prescribed fluconazole. Didn't give me a hole lot of info on it other then it would cure the infection. I took the pill at around 10pm and it is now 5am and I can barely stand. My burning and itching has stopped, but my stomach hurts so bad and I have spent the last hour on the toilet. It is a side effect but I don't know if I should be concerned..."


"When I take my Levothyroxine 0.075 mg as prescribed; on an empty stomach, preferably 1/2 to 1 hour before breakfast ; I have experienced stomach pain every time.  The stomach pain has progressed to problems with diarrhea.   I am wondering if anyone else has experienced stomach issues/irritability when taking this medication?  The change seems to have occurred when they switched to the small purple pill with M on one side and L 6 on the other.  When I was taking a round white pill these problems never occurred."


"Took prep kit as recommended. While mixture is not the best tastin, it is at least drinkable. Followed the prep with 32oz of water within 15 mins of finishing drinking the prep solution. Bowel movement began within 15-20 mins of completing both preps and lasted for about 1.5-2hrs."


"I had the Nexplanon for a year and four months it was highly effective contraception. However, the side effects were terrible.
1.Mood swings
2. Depression (I've suffered with depression before and the drug just aggravated my depression more)
3. Headaches
4. Breast tenderness
5. Anxiety/ panic attacks ( which I've never had a problem with before til now)
6. Difficulty breathing (had a pulmonary test and a cardiologist look at my heart and they said all was fine)
7. Chest pain/ palpations
8. Paranoia
9. HORRIBLE cramps ( I've never had really bad cramps until I got the Nexplanon put in)
10. No periods for a couple of months just spotting, no period but horrible cramps
11. Backache
12. Hungry all the time
13. No sex drive"


"This drug was given to my son as part of a treatment for ADHD and ODD.  He was given this to help him sleep at night to counteract effects his ADHD medicines had; which is kept him awake.  This drug for him was good at helping him fall asleep, but didn't keep him asleep but then again everyone is different."


"I was diagnosed with Cirrhosis of the Liver.  This medication helped with my Hepatic Encephalopathy.  I just wish it was not so expensive."


"I'm 19 and have been on different birth control pills and also shots. I have been on this for about, 3 years now and it has cleared my face nicely only a couple months after first starting. Downsides, a week or two before my period I feel nausea and a little dizzy also, a couple pimples do show and I have sore breasts. In the emotional state, I have been on it for a good amount of time but I feel it only changes my moods close to the times I'm near my period. I do get very depressed randomly but again it could just be a personal thing. Upsides, the clear skin overall, also I know when my period will come every month down. I have not gotten pregnant and have been very sexually active for the last 2 year. Don't plan to switch anytime soon."


"Non-professional concern that Idaho Hick's reaction is close enough to symptoms of acute angle glaucoma, potentially caused by the drops, to warrant further investigation, but my experience is increased blurred vision that continues 18 hours the ophthalmologist appointment, and a physiologically depressed heaviness.  Reported to doctors but they are unconcerned."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I knew pretty well that the drinking part would be hell. When I smelled it (why do people always do that?) basically the only thing that came to mind was cherry cough syrup, which I usually puke up anytime I try to take. I know it said to mix with only water, but if everyone on here is licking lemons and drinking chasers. I mixed the 6oz solution with about 4 oz of lime juice and 6 oz water. it wasn't unbearable. Drink it on ice and with a straw btw.

For me, it took 3 hours for the first dose to work and about 5 minutes for the second bottle the next morning. Towards the end of the 1st cleanse, my poo looked like urine and I thought the 2nd wouldn't do anything but somehow it found more to expel o_O"


"Didn't do anything for me. I still have severe acne like always. It's been 2 years but no fix. Tried doxycycline, minocycline and this. None of them ever worked. I also have super oily skin and this medicine doesn't fix that. It only kills the bacteria, which in my case is not a big problem. Oily skin is giving me acne. Plus I was applying erythromycin 2% on face. Nothing happened. Took it for a month. Finally going on Accutane soon. It was the last resort for me."


"I have suffered from a very severe anxiety and panic disorder all of my life.  I was given Xanax about a year ago because the medications I was taking were not working.  I started taking the Xanax which did take care of the panic attacks for the most part.  But what I did not realize is that though I was taking the dosage that the doctor had prescribed to me I was blacking out and getting very violent or I would be asleep my eyes would open I would punch my boyfriend in the face and try to choke him then go back to sleep like nothing even happened.  The morning after these events he would wake up on the couch and tell me what I had done.  I did not remember doing any of this.  It was terrifying."


"Lexapro has finally provided stability to my life after about 6 months. I still have a long way to go and alot to do before I feel "Recovered" but the medication has definitely helped with my anxiety."


"Bactrim cured my prostatitis within two weeks, however I had to stop taking it earlier than prescribed because I discovered I was allergic. I noticed flu-like symptoms, including chills, fever, and horrible muscle aches. On top of that, I developed a head to toe rash that itched like crazy. Imagine being sore and itchy at the same time. Luckily, all of this subsided within a few days of quitting Bactrim.

Since the antibiotic kills bacteria everywhere, I noticed I had flawless skin for about a week. But that didn't last. The bacteria came back with a vengeance and I developed the worst acne of my life. I'm now taking doxycycline and using expensive creams to combat this. It's been two months since I stopped Bactrim and I am still breaking out!"


"I was told by my doctor that I might gain weight. He said that the signal in the brain that says, "Thank you, I've had enough!" which is what I always go by, and it keeps my weight steady, is DELAYED.  It's TRUE. he says portion control is the key. We shall see. I'm trying but I've already gained about three pounds and notice that I eat way more. I'll let you know if I get a handle on it. The drug is THE one added to my cocktail that made the difference."


"This is day 2 for me.  I had a little nausea today. I am trying really hard to get off of insulin. I hope this works. I was on victoza for 4 years so I  am used to nausea and stomach issues."


"I have had the nexplanon for 3 years now. No weight gain. Acne is just as bad. My periods last weeks to months. AND I bleed huge blood clots. (Sorry TMI but I thought I had a miscarriage once because of it) I am an emotional wreck. Like it makes me cry over the littlest things. I overreact and my depression and anxiety are horrible. It has done its job not to get me pregnant but I hate it so much. And waking up with a headache everyday is killing me."


"I took Anafranil for only 3 months, it completely cured my 30  year obsessive compulsive disorder.  Free of OCD for 15 years."

"Cost reduced because of discount card.  Had bad gas, stomach upset after taking each dose until I read about taking Zantac before eating and then taking Pradaxa immediately after meal.  I had been taking Pradaxa before breakfast which resulted in burping and gas, and a few hours after dinner which caused bad bloating and stomach upset.  Took Nexium for a month incorrectly also, taking before breakfast along with Pradaxa.  First time I used Zantac 30 min before dinner and then took Pradaxa immediately after eating I had minimal gas and stomach issues."


"I have had 24 surgeries over the past 18 years had a very severe fall this medication has made it possible for me to live a normal life I have heard of people abusing this drug  maybe I'm the lucky 1 because if I take more than it says to take or too soon it makes me nauseous but only if I don't wait at least 5 hours between doses"


"My weight in April was 279lbs I've have lost 85 pounds so far. Still losing weight about 2 pounds a week, this weight loss is done without any exercise whatsoever thanks to taking Qysmia."


"It cleared up my urinary tract infection symptoms within 24 hours, however my doctor prescribed it to me for 2 weeks. Today was the end of the first week and I've experienced a slight shortness of breath, and a bit of weight on my lungs, almost like one feels with bronchitis. I feel as though I must breathe deeply in order to fully expand my lungs and sometimes it causes me to have a dry cough. I think I'll stop taking it before things get worse."


"Wow in love so far!! Third day and I have no appetite at all and when I eat it's a couple bits and I'm full! I don't know how it's working so fast but I'm loving it I will say one thing though I could literally sleep forever that's all I found to be negative"


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


"I have been on Savella for 3 months now and it is the most effective medication I have taken for fibromyalgia to date.  I've tried Cymbalta and Pristiq.  It is not without side effects though.  I have a rapid heartbeat, and stay on the verge of throwing up, but.....pain is not the first thing I think of when I get out of bed in the morning and that means a lot.  I am going to stay on it as long as possible in hopes that the side effects will go away.  I started taking Topamax for the headaches, and they have gone away."


"Helps with desire and libido, not the impotence and anorgasmia."


"I have had the Nexplanon for two years and I love it. I started with period only every other month. For some time I did have two months in which I had a period almost two weeks of spotting, it stopped and then i got it again a week later. But that only happened once. I don't feel any mood swings other than what I would have before so Its just my normal me. I did gain weight but it was about a year later and i doubt was due to the birth control because I can lose it when I want. I love this birth control it has worked great for me and I do recommend it. It is safe and easy."


"The only negative thing about using the ring is that for me it tends to slowly slide out often. Not totally just enough where I can feel discomfort. Other than that I have had no negative symptoms. It's pretty much idiot proof."


"I have had asthma every since I was born, montelukast helps me breath every day if I don't take it I can't breath but it causes me severe stomach pains, sometimes anxiety, depression, red blotches one my face, I get the sweats and nausea. These are some of the long-term affects I suffer with I would not suggest taking it eternally"


"Belviq gave me horrible headaches when I started taking it and if I forgot to take it (when the meds left my system). At first it didn't do anything for me, then after taking it for 4 months, I gained 20 pounds. I've read this medicine works similarly to antidepressants and I've had weight gain problems with antidepressants in the past, so I'm thinking that's why this medication did not work for me."


"I was super excited to begin this drug in order to help me lose some weight. After one dose, I had a horrible headache and a jolt that went through my brain so violent, it woke me from my sleep. It scared the living "L" out of me. Thanks, but no thanks."


"I got the Mirena on April 23rd to help with my endo and heavy bleeding.  I got it removed yesterday, June 8th.  I had about 3 or 4 good days and the rest I was enduring the same kinds of cramps that I did with my periods each month.  It drained me.  I wanted it to work for me so badly and felt guilty when I asked to have it removed yesterday thinking I hadn't given it long enough to settle.  An hour after it was gone, I no longer felt guilty.  The pain was gone.  The doctor told me it could take up to 6mths to settle but I just didn't have it in me to wait it out that long.  I had a horrible experience with it.  Zero energy, terrible mood swings and many times I was doubled over in pain similar to labor pains which took my breath away."


"I have had firbo for 16 years. My stupid doctor , who knew nothing about fibro, put me on some opiates and the one that worked was morphine. it was great, I loved it and then 2 months ago  my doctor took me off morphine-paranoid I think about people overdosing.. I was furious with her and plan on changing doctors soon. I called Pfizer and qualified for no charge Lyrica . I received it 4 days ago, 150 mg . I sleep great with it and I also take xanex, trazadone, amitriptyline for sleep, I take it in the morning with my antidepressents and feel ok then I take it around noon and sometimes I feel really flaky. I need to gain about 10 pounds so I am not worried about weight gain.So far it is ok, still have pain but its not horrible.."


"They work really well but they taste awful."


"I can say, Buspar (Buspirone) has helped me.  I am also on 40 mg Citalopram once day and 5 mg Buspar twice daily.
 I have experienced way less anxiety, able to enjoy life better."


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia when I was 22 and I am about to turn 57 on the 27th of August. It really never bothered me until the last 8 years, and it hit me like a ton of knives. I have tried everything and nothing seems to help. I went to a rheumatologist and she diagnosed me with polymyalgia along with the fibromyalgia. Had neck surgery in July of last year and back surgery in December, and I can honestly say the pain is unbearable most of the time. I take effexor,gabapentin,robaxin, and occasionally I will take a tylenol arthritis. Thats it. He wants me to take prednisone and I was a pharmacy technician for 13 years so I know and have seen the side effects. So I am trying to figure out if its really worth it. I hurt 24/7, all over."


"This medication kept me calm and gave me a good night sleep. I woke up early in the morning with energy and looking forward to starting the day. However, none of this means anything to me since it cause me to go from 145 pounds to 210 pounds. "


"I've only been taking this medication for about 2 weeks and notice a severe drop off in my anxiety levels around people.
The only downfall to this medication is the increased level of depression. I'm 22 and so far this combined with Klonopin seem to be the best combination I've had."


"This stuff is great, it helps get rid of the migraines most of the time. I also take Baclofen daily. I have had migraines for over 30 years and this is the only thing that has helped."


"I had a sudden onset of cold sores and a new one was appearing each day. I am on immunosuppressants so my body just can't fight this virus on its own. After 5 days I went to my doctor.
This medication was amazing- within 24-48 hrs the blisters were crusting over. The swelling and redness was decreasing as well.
I am on 400 mg 3 x daily for 10 days. I am currently on day 6.
For the first few days I would feel lightheaded (not dizzy) for a few hours after each dose, but that has gone away now. No nausea when taken with food. I did have a few mild headaches, but that was because I was not drinking enough fluid. As soon as I hydrated, headaches were gone.
My doctor gave me 2 refills so next time I feel the onset I can start treatment right aw"


"Diagnosed with Lymphoma, 5 drugs given by i.v. every 3 weeks. Prednisone 100 mg for 5 days, no side effects. Cancer is in remission 2 more therapies to go."


"This is a tough one. I've been taking Savella for not quite a year. I have no known side effects, taking twice daily x 50mgs other than slight drying but I take other meds that also could be suspect.
Here's my report. It mainly helped take the stiffness, pins and needles out of my knuckles in my hands for months BUT know that is coming back. I think my body is getting used to it and its not working any longer, at least not as well. My Doc and I talked about going to 100 mgs but have not.
I still have to take Vicoprofen for my Fibromyalgia. Nothing else takes the overall tiredness and pain away like that.
Even though its not my miracle drug I like it enough to pay my $45 monthly script for it."


"I've been on the Junel Fe 1.5/30 28 day, for 6 months and I've gained about 17 pounds while on this, no anxiety/depression but my sex drive did decrease significantly to the point where it concerned me. Getting off of this right away!"


"I made it to the other side.  I have been smoke free for two years. I tried again and again to quit, probably took about 10 times before it stuck. I did use the patch each time I quit, but I would always go to the bar, take the patch off and start my pack a day habit again.  Smoke for a week, then buy more patches.  You have to really want to quit to do it.  I think the patch is great at keeping your nicotine cravings at bay while you learn to deal with the mental addiction of quitting.  Do whatever it takes, and don't listen to those harpees who say that using a NRT is not really quitting."


"I took three. 1 in the morning, 1 around 1 p.m. and the nausea didn't stop so I took another one. My doctor said I should take 1 before every meal and 2 before bed or as needed. The label says take 2 pills before meals.
My point being it made me feel horrible. It made me feel drugged up. I didn't want to move, I felt like I want to throw up and go #2 and just get out of my body. I'm never taking that again. Its 9:30 pm and I still feel drugged up. This drug is an antihistamine and messes with your brain. I should've read about it before taking it. Although I'm 8 weeks pregnant and nauseous all day and my Dr said it is given to all OB patients so I trusted him."


"ambien was the only sleeping pill that worked for me i was on 10 mg and went to the ambien cr on 12.5 mg and back to 10 mg taking it on an empty stomach made me binge, forgetful, and do questionable/irresponsible things i wouldn't normally do it also sometimes made me drowsy in the morning it works quickly unlike certain sleeping meds that you have to take 3 hours with food before bed i had withdrawals on ambien as well a lot of negatives for me but i still liked it best"


"I had used Metrogel for years, but it didn't seem to be making a difference any more, so I went to a derm & he prescribed Mirvaso.  I should have walked away when I saw the price!  The first couple of days I used it, my face and along my hairline itched.  Redness increased and acne appeared.  I stayed with it for two weeks; the flushing got worse and my face burned, along with my ears & neck.  Acne increased.  But the worst effect was the headaches.  I have migraines that I finally was able to manage with 2 prescriptions.  The derm didn't tell me a side effect of Mirvaso.  Did The FDA approved this?"


"My experience with it.  The medicine works great for itch relief (pruritis) and anxiety.  I have Graves Disease, this was to treat anxiety temporarily after thyroid storm.  The problem I had with it was it made me to doped feeling to function normally.  I stayed tired and experienced grumpiness and lack of patience.  I've taken Xanax, and Elavil before and definitely was able to work, socialize normally unlike this medicine, there is no way I can take it every four to six hours and function throughout the day. I've never been one to tolerate antihistamines very well, I get the shakes etc., and  experienced the same with the Vistaril.  All that aside, at night it did help me sleep, help the anxiety as it's supposed too."


"(July 17, 2013) Just received my second Depo-Provera shot yesterday. I am very pleased with this form of birth control because it is so quick, convenient, and nothing has to be done before or after sex. Personally, my only downside is weight gain. I've gained about 10 pounds and have a love/hate relationship with my newer curves (although I must say my boyfriend doesn't seem to mind them). I have not gotten my period since starting the Depo but only some light spotting a few days before I was due for my next injection. Overall, I am happy and will continue using Depo-Provera for birth control."


"I have been taking citalopram for about 6 years and not really noticed any difference in my life. I was switched to venlafaxine yesterday and after 1 dose and a good night's sleep I jumped out of bed this morning to answer the telephone. I did not realize it until later, but I normally sleep through the phone ringing or just ignore it and go back to sleep. I am very very impressed with the results already and feel like a new person and so full of energy. Thank you, thank you is all I can say!"


"I would NEVER recommend this birth control to anyone. I had it for a year straight! With the feeling of being pregnant. Boobs constantly hurt, always cramping, migraines, exhausted everyday, mood swings and zero sex drive. I would have rather been pregnant. So not worth it. Much rather remember a pill everyday!"


"I have had acute neurological (atypical) pain for 10 weeks, the GP put me on Nortriptyline which I am not sure whether it helped the pain or not, but it turned me into a zombie capable of sleeping all day and all night. It was nice at first but became a bit of a hassle in the end. so I have started to wean myself off it."


"Weighed in at 218lbs (35  BMI). I started out with Wii-Fit workout 2-30 minute sessions or 60 minutes aerobics 5  days weekly [work up to it] if you hit a plateau, then increase by 10 minutes. Eat 300 calories breakfast, 200 calortie snack 300 lunch 200 snack, 300 dinner. Space meals by 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Use fingers. With Phentermine 37.5 you'll have to remind yourself to eat, I logged it into my cell phone calendar.  No bottle/canned juices or sodas. Nothing 3 hours before sleeping. Most important limit sugars, starches AND GLUTEN. Set up a pitcher of water in the morning (I add 2 propel packets) to track your water intake. Keep chapstick in your pocket for dry lips. These simple steps and I'm 45 lbs lighter in 70 days. GOOD LUCK! "


"My dad is a doctor and he started me on contrave to help me out with my weight problem that ive been struggling with all my life. I'm over 2 months in but i also only took half a dose for most of the time because i kept getting so violently ill. Im back to the regular dose now. According to the scale I've lost 6 lbs but i never trust the accuracy of those things. I discovered that the reason the nausea was so amplified is because i was drinking caffeine. As soon as i cut out the caffeine i felt great! My diet isnt really a diet. More of forcing myself not to eat 5 candybars a day and to drink more water. I take my dog for a 2 mile walk almost every other day to get SOME exercise in there."


"I was on methadone for 10 yrs quitting cold turkey at 80mg in Dec 2015. I lasted about 4 days then started using heroin again. Jan 2 I went into detox, got out the 10th and was still in wds from the methadone. Went 3 weeks struggling really bad, started shooting again then finally gave suboxone a try 1 week ago. I feel amazing besides the constant sweats I get. Methadone withdrawal is the worst wd I ever experienced. I know I'm not looking to come off suboxone. I know for me that I will always need "something". If I can take a legally prescribed medication that will help me not to shoot heroin and make my life unmanageable then I will continue to take it. So far suboxone has done good by me, why would I stop it."


"The doctor put mine in on Jan 17th 2015. I have had nothing but periods every two weeks. I've gained weight like crazy. My mood swings are horrible. I'm always down and out. I have not changed my eating habits. I'm calling my doctor today to get it removed. I'm going to get my insides burned out because I have my three kids and I don't want anymore babies."


"I take 300 mg a Day 150mg am + 150mg pm together with Halodol Vial once a  month and Cogentol tab daily for the side effects  of the Vial. I haven't suffered from a breakdown since I started taking the right dose 4 years ago.
I only feel dizzy occasionally, and most of the time blurry vision.
Other than that it seems working good with my case!
Lately my Dr advised me to try Stimulant 400 cap twice a day to help me stay active while I'm at work."


"Like Bengay, Icy Hot, or Tiger Balm. Works a little better and lasts longer."


"I was kinda focused in school when I took this but that was only for the first period or 2, I ended up getting really tired and was getting a lot of anxiety and had like 3 panic attacks (this was my first time ever being on any kind of ADHD medication)"


"I have been taking Tambocor for 2 years and it had been been effective with little to no side effects. As long as you do not have heart disease or blockages."


"My gastro-guy prescribed 10mgm daily @ bedtime.  WOW!  immediate relief!  Uhh... make that WAY relief, actually.  I'm absolutely pleased with the effectiveness of this nearly microscopic pill, HOWEVER, I am NOW taking it ONLY as needed (need indicated by return of the mighty "D" in IBS-D).  Maybe I'll try ye auld pill cutter, as I have a sneaky feeling that a daily  1/2 dose might be more to my gut's liking than  the grab 'n go I'm trying during this, the fifth week since first meeting this li'l bombshell."


"I am on my second month of taking Tri-sprintec.  I have not experienced any nausea, cramps, mood swings, or weird bleeding from the pill.  My last period was actually really short and really light.  The price is great too.  My only complaint is that it makes my face break out horribly.  During the first 2-3 weeks of the first month my acne got horrible.  During the last week and a half my face cleared up great though.  Now, I am 2 weeks into my second month and my face looks awful again. I talked to my dermatologist and she told me that it is a great pill when used for clearing up acne and that my face should look great in 2-4 months.  I hope this is true!"


"I have only been on the pill for a month and 2wks, which isn’t enough time to have a accurate opinion but I’m going to share anyways. The 1st month I started the first day of my period and it stopped it completely, 4 days later I had brown discharge that eventually turned into a full on bleed. I bled for about 12 days and experienced some of the worst cramps ever! My periods are usually awful, the only thing that made these better was that it wasn’t a constant awfulness. When it stopped everything was great no acne no anything, I got my period the same month on the last white pill and it ended on the last brown pill. 2 of those days were semi-heavy but very tolerable. 8 days into my second pack I started breaking out on my forehead &chin."


"I have SLE and have been on Benlysta for 1-1/2 years now. I could barely walk or function prior to my diagnosis, SLE Lupus, RA and Hoshimotos. I felt better during the first 3 months of infusions than I do now.  I had one really bad 3-month flare this year but my rheumatologist kept on top of it.  I felt the drug go through my entire body for the first 8 infusions. No kidding. Lightheaded, metallic taste in my mouth and a little woozy. I always drove myself to and from infusions and went directly home to rest afterwards, as it made me very groggy within a hour. If you are sensitive to drugs, have someone drive you. I experienced diarrhea a few hours after infusions for the first year. You must take an antihistamine before being infused."


"Viagra works in a strong, crude way with side effects.

So I switched to Cialis - fewer side effects but not the "oomph" of Viagra.

Finally I was given samples of Stendra. WOW! No side effects (I take 100 mg mid range dose). Rock hard in 15 minutes, 20 max. Plus the erection "stays" when you change positions (not true of others). it does a great job of not only getting it up but keeping it up.

PLUS: I can get 12 doses (six 200 mg pills, split into 100 mg) for $36!! Get the manufacturers Stendra Loyalty Card (from Abbott). $3 per dose. This totally rocks even though insurance isn't paying for it. Insurance pays for one Viagra a week. I need 4 erectile dysfunction pills/week, minimum.

Give Stendra try - 50 mg might be too little. Try 100 mg."


"I've been bleeding for three weeks."


"Took Zyrtec on the advice of my ENT for chronic sinusitis from hay fever. It worked wonders on my sinuses but I can not function on it due to extreme drowsiness and fatigue. I am going to have to stop taking it!"


"I started the Seasonal Pill because the heavy bleeding caused me to become very anemic to the place I had to get iron infusions. It does make me crave everything, my sex drive is going down a little and I have been bleeding for a while. It went from using a pantie liner to using pads and I'm not even thru my thrid pack of pills. Not sure If I can handle the bleeding like this. And lets's not mention the cramps. I have never in my life had cramps like this like someone is on the inside of me scraping out my inside. I don't think I can hang."


"I've had the Nexplanon since March 31, 2015 and so far so good. The only issue is that I was supposed to get my period April 13 but I never got it so I figured the birth control changed my cycle but then on the 16th I had a little spotting so I thought my period was coming either the same day or the next day, but it's the next day since the spotting and I haven't got my period. I'm not sure what's going on if I'm going to get my period or not. No other side effects except in the beginning I got more emotional than I usually am but I'm perfectly fine now."


"I took the Vivitrol for the recommended year, and have not had cravings and remain alcohol free (since 1-31-14).  In some ways, I think it also helped me quit smoking.  However after 13 shots I feel stiffer than I ever have, and I was wondering if anyone else shared this experience.  Some days my shoulders are almost immoveable.  I didn't feel this way before the medicine, and I was wondering if there was a correlation.  It is actually painful to get out of bed some days."


"I was prescribed this after not having luck with Duac to treat and prevent adult acne.  It took about a week of twice daily application before I noticed a change.  I have been using it for over a month and it has completely cleared one problem area.  It appears that other areas around my neck are now being affected, but I think with continued use it will also cure those problems and prevent further breakouts. "


"I have been on this for 3 months now and have noticed a massive improvement of my acne. The acne on my back is practically non existent and the amount on my face has dramatically improved. I got lots of comments today saying how face has cleared up since I last saw these people 2 weeks ago. I now have much less acne on my face and it expected to all be gone in 3 more months forever. I am currently on 60mg a day one at morning and 2 at night and I am a 15 year old female. I have had some back pain when I play my weekly sport and dry lips but that is all the side effects I have had."


"I've been on Nora-Be for 4 months now. For the first 3 months, the spotting seemed never-ending. It would stop for a few days and then start again. It was so annoying feeling like I should always keep a tampon in, just in case. I've gotten increased acne, but not too bad. I've also had an increased appetite and gained about 15lbs! Major bummer! I wasn't eating well either, but I've NEVER gained weight this fast! This past month, no spotting. My period actually came a couple weeks later than expected. I almost thought I was pregnant. This pill was useful as birth control- 2 stars for that. But now I've been experiencing mood swings and depression in overdrive. I cry so easily and so often now. I'm planning on trying the full pill."


"I am 17 and have been on the depo shot for over two years. No periods besides occasional spotting, no pregnancy, no weight gain (I've actually lost a few pounds). I am a little more moody and my sex drive has decreased, but I am most concerned about the long term bone density loss. I take calcium supplements daily. It is well worth it!"


"Humira caused me to have Cardiac Arrest.  Do not take this med.  If there is anything else you can try, do it.  This lowered my immune system so that a "Virus" could attack my heart.  I am lucky to be alive!!!"


"I guess it does what it's supposed to, prevents pregnancy!  I have been on it for 2 months and the weight gain in my belly is ridiculous!  I've gained 5 pounds. My mood is all whacked out. I plan on quitting."


"Do not use Harvoni. Last review just disappeared. Just don't. Use Zep or wait if u are newly infected and can. Many sites are full of trash because they are secretly run by Gilead."


"I have had the skyla in place for little over a year and recently found out that I have become pregnant while the skyla was still in place. I would recommend you be very cautious while using this birth control."


"I've only been on the medication for a as days but it's the first time in years that I haven't had that seized knots in my back . So I am fairly happy with the medication despite the drowsiness its causing.  I hope that in a few weeks the drowsiness will go away. At least it doesn't knock me out like Rosario or tizinadine does."


"I've had a severe depression with anxiety. I must have tried countless products, one worse than the next. I've been on Cipralex for 15 years - but it stopped working. Latuda was terrible - why did they give it to me??... I can't even recall half the names. Finally, there's a perfect solution for me. It's so terrific I need to share it. I take Cymbalta (min. dose) in the morning (with my synthroid), and take Luvox (min. dose) at night, along with half a zoplicone (7.5 mg) for sleeping.  I haven't felt this well since I can remember. The Cymbalta takes care of my fibromyalgia / headaches, and the Luvox has cleared away all the anxiety. It's a miracle. It's been a month now. I'm back to work and feeling well."


"I had my daughter 2.5 years ago and put off getting back on birth control for a YEAR AND A HALF after she was born because I know the horrors that can come from it. I went to the Dr. for my yearly visit and she suggested I try TriNessa and I've been pretty happy with it. The first few months I had extreme nausea (almost to the point of throwing up - but never did), headaches and slight weight gain(3-4lbs).

However, I am happy with it because my skin is basically flawless whereas before I had occasional bad breakouts. I bloat a lot the week before my period but that would happen to me before anyway."


"Had gout flares on & off for 30 years. Usually prednisone would clear it up. Tried allupurinol but it made my legs & feet tingly. Tried uloric, no flare ups. Uric acid dropped to 1.9 on 80 mg. Dr changed dose to 40 mg, uric levels staying around 4. Only side effect I've noticed is a big increase in dreams. No nightmares or bad dreams ,just a lot of regular dreams. Luckily its carried by the base pharmacy so there is no cost."


"This medicine helps my cough, but makes me feel like I'm not breathing. I am, but I just feel like I'm not. And it knocks me out in about thirty minutes, off and on for about four hours."


"My doctor tried to put me on this. It gave me heartburn and a bad headache. I was not able to control bowel movements either. Sometimes I would actually stain the back of my pants. One good thing is I had an erection for hours. It did make me lose 40 pounds the first month I was on it though."


"I have been on Lyza for about 7 months now and I hate it. I literally am bleeding most of the month, and it's definitely not a normal period. I called my provider and they said it takes about 6 months for it to get regular again but I don't see that happening. My mood swings are horrible and I feel really anxious and depressed. Do not recommend this to anyone!"


"Have been on it several times for stones. I actually request it from my doctor each time I have a problem stone.  While it helps pass stones easily the dizziness is a major factor for myself. But I will continue to use it!"


"I have had pain in my right testicle for years. I was put on flowmax and symptoms got quite better and unlike many others my ejaculations improve."


"I get so dizzy and nauseous on this pill. With headaches.. No weight gain or decreased libido.. Just terrible cramps and tons of spotting and mood swings and depression. I've also broke out more.. And gotten terrible yeast and bv infections Don't take please"


"I've been on Neurotin for almost 4 months and it has given me relief for chronic pelvic pain. 300mg at night and 100mg mid-day was the initial dose and at present I'm on 300mg at night only.  It has made the pain bearable however the side-effects have been lethargy, headaches, aching eyes, and dreaming so vivid it leaves me hung over. I'm hoping this will improve with time. It has helped with the pain."


"This pill is awesome. I've taken it for about 2 and 1/2 years now. No side effects when I first started either. I haven't had a period since but I'm okay with that. I highly recommend this pill to anyone looking for a low dose birth control."


"I started taking Repatha in Feb. of 2016.  It lowered my cholesterol considerably at the beginning but started experiencing pain in my legs, hips, back and shoulders right after taking it but did not tie it to the Repatha at first.  I gave myself an injection in the leg in August and had a large swelling at the site of the injection.  It went down in 4 days, but the pain in my body became severe to the point I could not walk many days.  My muscles and tendons became very swollen.  I called the number listed on the Repatha prescription insert a total of 4 times the pain was so bad.  The Repatha reps were no help and told me to talk to my doctor.  I finally ended up in the E.R. and then had an aneurysm 3 days ago.  I blame it on Repatha!"


"My husband was diagnosed with NSCLC in late April 2016.  Started on chemo treatments in May 2016. Received 6 rounds of chemo.  His first scan, I believe it was after 2 rounds of chemo, came back "great news", cancer had shrunk & some spots disappeared (or were hiding). He continued with chemo and had another scan in November 2016, now there were some new spots.  His oncologist said he could not receive any further chemo treatments and wanted him to start on opdivo.  First infusion of opdivo was November 23, 2016.  By Thansgiving, November 24, he was not feeling well, so Thanksgiving was cancelled.  On December 5, he had severe stomach pain, so he went to ER and was admitted.  He was discharged on December 8.
He passed away Dec 14, 2016."


"I react and have side effects to almost everything I take. I'm allergic to Bactrim and doxycycline and Cipro is awful for me. No vomiting or flu symptoms everyone keeps talking about. Sometimes I get hot flashes (I'm 24) and an upset stomach but that's the worst of it."


"I hated it from the first month I had the arm implant.  I bleed for ten days with a five day break and then the bleeding would start again.  I was a emotional wreck crying and being depressed.  I lost interest in sex. I had bad headaches and my breast hurt all the time. My insertion site was tender t

for the whole five months. I'm so glad I had mine removed. I wouldn't recommend nexplannon to anyone."


"I am so grateful for tamiflu right now. I haven't been nauseous with the flu, but tamiflu (along with duraflu) has cut my symptoms by 80% in one day! The only side effect I have had from this medicine might be slight diarrhea, but nothing too bad! Definitely recommend! But Its very expensive without insurance ($160)."


"I used nearing for about 5 weeks. I loved it for the first 2 weeks then my guy started to notice a big change in my moods. I was very depressed , anxious and I cried all the time..not to mention the lack of libido sucks. My friends also noticed a big change in my moods.. I took stopped using it a few hours ago and I feel a bit calmer already...."


"I was given this medication for a Uti i was suffering from that just wouldn't go away with cranberry juice and otc pills. The first day after taking this my symptoms were almost gone. On day 1, my second pill which was at night made my stomach cramp so bad i almost curled over. But i continued with my prescribed dosage. On day 3 i felt almost completely cured of my uti. But on day 3 when i took my 2nd pill of the day which was before bed i started to feel stuffy and had shortness of breath, accompanied by blurred vision, That was very scary.  I will not be finishing the rest of the dosage of this medicine. I was prescribed 2 100mg pills every 12 hours for 7 days. Fingers crossed my symptoms dont come back. Beware of side effect!"


"I finally realized over a decade of having suicidal thoughts and images continue in my head and chronic emotional pain that would always keep coming back strong that I needed help. Since I've used Celexa it has honestly changed my life. I still feel emotions. I'm still sad sometimes. But I see the light at the the end of the tunnel every day now. I am grateful every day. I never want to go back to how I felt. For so long I was in denial, but it truly did help me."


"I put the Nexplanon in August 2016 and had it removed in October 2016. 31 years old, no kids yet. Very little after I had the Implant Nexplanon put in, I started bleeding black blood with cramping for now 10 weeks plus. I went to the doctor three times complain of pain and bleeding black stinky blood and those times I was told by 2 different gynecological doctors that it was fine & it would go away in time. Well it didn't even now that it's been removed a little over more than a week I am still bleeding today. Finally I went to another doctor who decided to do a ULTRASOUND PELVIC & TRANSVAGINAL & he said that it worked too well that my endometrium normal size is 8mm minimum & mine is now 2mm so thin blood is going through. risk of infertility"


"Knocked out my headache very quickly.  I did have a few side effects such as stiff neck and overall quesyness and heartburn.  The side affects didn't last more than an hour or so, but the headache was gone and I was happy.  As with any medication I will try and "ride out" the headache to avoid taking medication, but I will keep this one around."
