"I got this inserted 6 months ago and it's nearly been the worst time of my life, no exaggeration. I became a completely different person. I feel exhausted, lazy and tired all the time, angry, depressed and I have lots and lots of mood swings. This has nearly ruined my relationship. On top of that I've bled since the day I got it, and now for six months straight. If you think about getting nexplanon, PLEASE DON'T!
I removed it today and look forward to be myself again. Now I have a sting in my arm, a big bruise and when this all heals I'll be left with an ugly scar. It was sooo not worth it. The ONLY positive thing this has brought me is that I didn't become pregnant, but because of all the bleeding I've barely had sex anyways..."


"Easy to use, no side effects experienced as opposed to interferon b medication. Good support program and co-pay assistance. Has lessened progression"


"The best BC out there. 2nd time getting it and it's still being good to me. It actually has gotten my sex drive up. No side effects. Only thing is I can't predict when is my next period so my husband assumes I'm pregnant, but when it does come I only spot for a few days."


"Best birth control!!! I have been on it for about a year and a half if not longer have no complaints I got on this because the depo shot was defiantly not working for me. Definitely glad I switched over - no random mood swings, cleared all acne within a month, no weight gain, over all it the best birth control I've been on"


"I have only been on citalopram for 3 days and it has already made a huge difference. I have been through many other antidepressants, including Prozac and Zoloft. Prozac made me gain 25 pounds in the first month I used it and Zoloft worked but made me feel like a zombie. With Citalopram, I feel like myself. I have no suicidal thoughts or symptoms of depression. I just stress about regular things in life, like bills, etc. but not to the point where I curl up in a ball and want to cry. I am able to handle these stresses with a clear mind and hope for the future. Ive struggled with depression my whole life. When I was 16, I had two suicidal attempts. This is my first time since I can remember that I feel NORMAL."


"I just finished my second month of Gianvi and it will be my last. CONS: Constant bleeding, gained weight, horrible headaches, and mood swings that make me feel crazy. PRO: No pregnancy, on-time period, went from a B to a C cup, no change in skin."


"Thus worked for my constipation. .but made all of my muscles ache."


"Venlafaxine didn't work well for me, although I was no longer anxious, I did feel like I was a zombie.

My message to anyone trawling the internet for answers & hope.  YOU WILL GET BETTER!

It may take time and trial/ error with your treatments, but every human being is different so if one treatment worked for someone and not you, then there are a whole host of other treatments & combinations.

Talk to people whether family, friends, support groups, online forums.  Go to your doctor or consultant and take all the help you can.  If you are not happy with your treatment, ask for a different healthcare professional.

As I write, I am in recovery on Sertraline.  I have agorophobia, but am starting to get back to a somewhat normal life."


"I used this as birth control and to regulate my menstrual cycle. I am usually an extremely happy, bubbly person. While Ortho Tri-cyclen did prevent unwanted pregnancies, it wreaked havoc on my life. I took it for three and a half months. I became extremely depressed for no reason. I mean DEPRESSED. I cried at least 3 times every single day, I felt listless and hopeless. The closest I came to feeling happy in the last month of using this drug was feeling nothing at all. Feeling empty was as good as I got. Usually I felt angry, sad, despairing. For NO reason. I alienated friends, family, and boyfriend. My mother made me stop taking these pills as she thought they were the cause, and like magic, I began to feel like my normal self within a week."


"Works well. Popular brand."


"I was switched to this generic after being on many others including the same Rx formula and other formulas in the past. This was by far the worst pill I've ever taken as far as being ineffective for hormone control. My ovarian cysts returned, I had more painful periods, acne, bloating, mood swings, and the feeling of not wanting to be near or touched by anyone. Once I was back on my previous brand of generic for 2 months I stabilized completely again."


"First pill down and thrown back up in under 1 hr"


"It is the only drug that works for fibromyalgia."


"I used to suffer from extremely heavy periods and cramping that interfered with my daily life. I would have to take time off work, rearrange my entire schedule and in general have an awful time with PMS before my period. Since getting my Mirena, I have had NONE of those symptoms. I finally can live my life without worry that my period will interrupt it. I do not get a period and I do not have any PMS symptoms. It's clear to me that Mirena changed my life for the better."


"I've been on 5 mg of Lisinopril for over 2 years.  I never developed the cough or nasal drip that others have had.  I did have joint pain which would come and go.  Lisinopril is great at controlling my BP.  I'm an otherwise-healthy 5'3" 125 pound 47 yo female and my BP diastolic would not stay below 90.  Typical BP was 140/98.  So, I've taken 5 mg of Lisinopril for 2 years.  But, I'm exhausted ALL the time, no appetite, severe abdominal pain, constant nausea and bloating/constipation when I do eat.  I'm miserable (has been like this for 6 mo)!! On a whim, I stopped the Lisinopril 3 days ago.  I'm not exhausted anymore.  My appetite is back. Still have pain and nausea though."


"I added Qsymia as a phase two to my weight loss.

In phase one, diet and exercise alone, I lost 16 pounds (267.7 to about 251.7) but regained the weight quickly over Christmas, going back to 260lbs.

I then added Qsymia. Since then weight loss has been steady at about half a pound a day. The only weight gain came toward the end of my titration period.

I have now lost an additional 20 pounds in 6 weeks (260.0 to 239.6 between 1/2/13 and 2/15/13).

I have continued to work out approximately daily, have added muscle mass, and have seen the quality of my workouts improve."


"I developed pneumonia after the flu and my doctor prescribed 100mg of doxycyline twice a day for 10 days. While the medicine was effective in lessening my pneumonia symptoms, it was very difficult to live and function with the side effects. I learned what worked for me, and that was to eat an hour or two before taking the medicine. I had extreme nausea and diarrhea on days when I didn't eat enough before taking the medicine, but I only had mild nausea when I had eaten enough before. Overall, it worked for me, but if a doctor prescribes this for me again, I will ask for a different medicine.

DO NOT TAKE THIS ON AN EMPTY STOMACH."


"I have been taking Silenor 3mg for over 6 months now.  I have had zero nights when I have had to get up because of failing to return to sleep.  Most nights I get 7 to 8 hours of sleep.   The only thing different is having vivid dreams most of the time.  Not sure if that means more deep or rem sleep is taking place.  Silenor does not put you to sleep  but it will let you stay asleep.  I highly recommend it for sleep maintenance."


"I took this medicine for a tooth abscess that couldn't be drained during root canal. Severe diarrhea, headaches, minor heartburn and I felt as though my throat were closing (doc said minor allergic reaction). I have been taking a probiotic and eating yogurt but it hasn't helped with the stomach upset at all.  It helped with the abscess but 8 days later it isn't completely cleared. I've been switched to Clindamycin due to the tightening in my throat. Scared to death and sick of antibiotics."


"I have been on celexa for about a week and a half, ever since I had noticed a loss of appetite, and zombie like. But, as how I used to feel without the medication at first, I feel more calm and less anxious. As for the constant panic attacks that I was having, celexa helped ease it a lot. Yes, I feel tired all the time and unable to sleep well. Luckily I am taking Ristoril along with it. I am able to sleep my good eight hours, before waking up to go to college every morning. I am considering to talk with my doctor, to see if he can at least lower the dosis a bit to 10mg. I am currently taking 20mg. That way, the side effects won't take it's toll on me."


"Anyone who appreciates their physical health as much as their mental health I'm warning/begging you not to take Pristiq. It's intolerable in every way. I've been on it 4 weeks and 2 days. NO POSITIVE BENEFITS! However I have experienced the following from Pristiq: severe nausea, vomiting, nightmares, night sweats, headaches and migraines, brain zaps, loss of concentration , blurred vision....
If I can help only one person to not put this horrid dug into their body this comment will be worth it.
Please, do yourself a favor, ther are other drugs out there. I regret every single day on Pristiq. I feel even more depressed than when I began."


"After years of severely painful and agonizing 7 day heavy periods, my doctor recommended Levora.  I have been on this pill for over a year now and it has been amazing. Only side effects I have had are positive- my boob size increased an entire cup and I have just about no acne! My periods have also shortened to less than 3 days and they are extremely light, no pain or headaches anymore either. My period comes the same time, same day, every single month. I was petrified to start birth control but I couldn't stand the horrible periods anymore. I am so happy my doctor suggested Levora as I no longer lose sleep laying awake in pain! This pill has done wonders for me!"


"Got this medicine in the ER due to normal migraine medicines not working. Started off taking 2 and would knock it right out and put me to sleep. My tolerance has built up to it and I now take 7. If you have to take this medicine more than 3x a week consider a more drastic cure."


"So I had my mirena IUD put in about 3 months ago. I had a pretty uncomfortable experience with insertion but it was manageable I guess. So everyday for the last 3 months, since the day I had it put in, I've gad spotting/bleeding. It looks like for the past week or so it may be starting to wear off FINALLY! So supposedly this mirena is supposed to help with acne. Let me just say from my experience so far, it had not helped my acne in any way. In fact, it has made me breakout like CRAZY!!!!! I will say that so far, I have not had any large amounts of bleeding at all. So that's a plus. Another thing I find absolutely horrifying about this IUD is my mood swings! MY LORD! I can't believe the miserable mood swings I get!"


"For whatever reason I began to experience social anxiety and panic attacks,now when I think back,at least 2 years ago. But I didn't understand what was happening to me.  At first I thought I simply developed a bad attitude toward people.  My work started to be effected.  I couldn't recall work procedures, I had problems putting my words together to speak, I would get extremely nervous in social settings, scared to ask questions, fear of everyone talking about me, sometimes I just didn't want to leave out my house. I was stressed over little issues, talking in my sleep, fatigue, sluggish, slow to respond.  I can go on and on.  I had been on Welbutrin daily and Xanax as needed.  My doctor prescribed Prozac to me three days ago. It works !!!!I"


"If evil had a taste, it would be this vile, nausea-inducing, gag-causing putrid concoction invented by Lucifer. Dear Lord is there nothing else more palatable? I'm dreading the next one at 3:30."


"I've been taking the 30 mg dose for about five years. It works great for me, no side effects and I take it about an hour before I go to bed. I've tried other prescription sleep medication and they either gave me headaches or wore off too soon and I would wake up. I highly recommend Temazapam for anybody wanting a good night sleep consistently."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

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


"The worst birth control I've taken. I started getting side effects right away: pimples everywhere, would feel nauseous after I would take the pill, and felt bloated all day. If you're reading this review and considering taking this birth control, Don't. The only reason I was given this pill was because my original birth control (Lutera) was on back order."


"LEXAPRO changed my life. I am so against medication and was scared to try anything but after 6 months of pure hell and not able to function I surrendered to Lexapro and am SO happy I did. The side effects were bad but by the help of my Dr. and this page I didn't give up. It took the 6 weeks to start feeling like a human again. The two things I would say to anyone starting is 1. Give it time, 2 months plus and 2. Pills are not miracles, you have to work on yourself and with a professional in addition but it's worth it.
Stay Strong."


"This medication saved my life! Better than any anti-depressant I've ever tried (and I've tried A LOT). Currently on it to help with my ADHD and Manic Depression (Bipolar 2)

Side effects are small and definitely worth it (to me, at least). Dry mouth and decrease in appetite.

I've also lost 40 pounds since I've been on it (Went from 182 pounds to *currently* 142 pounds)"


"The new lidoderm patches from Mylan are not effective because they do not stay on, and they do not let my skin underneath breathe.and they want to stick to themselves which make them ineffective. I will not use them ever again. The Qualitest lidoderm patches work wonderfully. The Mylan do not work in all fields. It needs alot of work."


"I was diagnosed with MS on March 28th, 2013. at that time, Gilenya was the only oral medication..however Tecfedra had just just came out. My neuro gave me the option of injections or Gilenya...really? No brainer..pill please. Novartis is amazing. First of all, in order to get on Gilenya, you have to get an EKG before your first dose, and then after as well. Then you need to  be monitored in a facility for 6 hours, where they check your heart rate every however often. Gilenya has worked great for me, I have no side affects.I have symptoms of course but no issues with the drug itself. I'm so grateful to Novartis, what an amazing company"


"When I was found to have MS I was put on Rebif  for 6 months until Gilenya became available. The side effects on Rebif were severe.I was never able to eliminate them. After only 3 weeks on Gilenya, I couldn't believe how much better I felt. Not only were there no side effects noticed, but I actually felt better than I've felt for several years. It has noticably improved my life."


"The worst colon prep I have used. It caused bloating, slight nausea, growling stomach, and stomach cramps. I lived in the bathroom.  Never ending. Taking one bottle and having to consume about 42 oz of water within one hour AND THEN having to repeat the process six hours later."


"I'm fighting HPV for a year and half now
Aldara works
but it takes long time
be patient
it might burn you some times
make sure the area is clean and dry
avoid using tea tree oil or ACV while on Aldara therapy"


"I got nexplanon in Jan 2016 when I was 17  , worst decision ever. Right off the bat, 2 weeks into it , my heavy periods came for almost 2 months. Then it was gone for almost a whole year. Then things started again. Mood swings , headaches, breast pain here and there, pain in my bladder area , also depression and anxiety. I'm scheduled to take it out in Jan 2018 , hope I can feel free and happy again. Definitely would not recommend especially to young girls."


"This medication relieved my nerve pain from my neck that was also affecting my arms. It worked almost immediately. I was soon able to turn my head and use my right arm. Just watch for side effects."


"Very good results.  My skin has not looked this good in a very long time."


"I'd had some problems with sulfur/eggy burps when increasing from 1.2 to 1.8, including gastrointestinal tract distress.  My endocrinologist recommended using a Simethicone-containing OTC medicine. I've just reached the 1.8 dosage, by increasing from 1.2 to 1.8 by two-click increases, along with a Simethicone OTC consisting of two 180mg caplets - with no problems, so far.  Will try reducing to one caplet per day.

My GP suggested the burps may be GERD, which I've never had before, and I saw the earlier post about the sulfur/eggy burps being due to dead stomach flora.  Will try reintroducing GI bacteria (pro-biotics?) and let you know if I can get off the Simethicone altogether."


"Use of this medicine is to very effective in treating the illnesses for which it is prescribed.  They will also admit that it is an extremely safe medicine to use. Valium when used by me, sporadically, as needed, effectively treats my anxiety episodes, which untreated would probably lead to ulcers."


"Week 1: Pro's lost 10 pounds, eat less. Con's: had headache for 6 days, pills wears out by afternoon, 5pm-6pm. Analysis: user must put effort in portion control or weight will come back after finished with medication. Will follow up in another week. Meal plan: 1500 per day. exercise 5 days week cardio, and strength."


"I got this medicine last month, and am now start to getting good results."


"As everyone knows kidney stones are very painful and very uncomfortable. My doctor prescribed me this medication to help to ease the pain. And it seriously works. I do not like taking pain medication, so I was pleased when I took this and it actually worked."


"I took this pill yesterday around 9 pm... I felt fine. I actually had no nausea maybe a slight bit of dizziness but that's about it. I woke up this morning after sleeping for 10 hours and I still felt exhausted. Today I've been tired all day to where I could probably pass out any time but already having two kids I can say what I've felt from this pill is no match for what I felt with pregnancy and motherhood. "


"I have mild redness and swelling of pimples and scarring due to stress that I just could not clear up with over the counter products. I decided to go to a dermatologist and they prescribed me Epiduo (cream) and Minocycline (a pill) to help with the inflammation. I do have sensitive skin and each day I use it, it does burn when I put it on and leaves my face red and very dry! But.....I already see an improvement in my skin! They did say to use Epiduo gel every OTHER day if the redness and dryness continues. I am also using CeraVe lotion afterwards to moisturize (their recommendation) and it does not leave an oily residue like others I have tried and it truly is a great light weight lotion! I have faith in this acne product! Keep using it! :)"


"I have been taking 25 mg Amitriptyline for several years almost every night and really couldn't be more pleased and grateful. I call it my miracle cure for insomnia, as long as it's taken at the right time (9 pm). Too late in the evening it doesn't work very well. My initial dose of 50 mg caused too much postural syncope (dizziness upon standing). If I need to boost it, I can take 1mg melatonin, but I will have a later time to rise and a bit of a hangover. I initially took this drug for chronic dyspepsia and I suspect that routine use is keeping that at bay."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"It is hard to describe the taste. Sort of like a concoction of sweetart, cherry flavor, salty taste with a hint of sweetness all mixed together.  I have had worse tasting meds. It took about 5 minutes to drink it and then I started on the first 16oz. Bottle of water.  I felt very full and for me walking around the house helped. I belched a few times and within 15 min. I had to go to the bathroom and then about every 5 min. For the next 30 min. Or so.  After that it started slowing down and I didn't have to go as much. I'm almost totally clear after the 1st round.  I recommend baby wipes and Vaseline to keep from chaffing also brush your teeth and rinse to get rid of the after taste. It really helps."


"I have been a smoker for 30  years. I decided when I hit 50 it was time to quit! I pretty much didn't change my habit the first week. Gradually the smoking got lighter to where
I would have a couple on Saturday, usually with a glass of wine.  Then about a month and a half later it was a big yuck! The smell and taste were disgusting. I still had one smoke a week and now nothing. I have been cigarette free for one month now. I am on my last week of a 3 month program and I feel I am now a "recovering" smoker. I still sometimes have an urge, but it passes quickly. There really were no serious side effects. I did experience some nausea. To add to this, I WAS a heavy wine drinker before I started taking this medication. Now I am a light drinker."


"I just got the Kyleena inserted today. I had a baby two months ago and just got my first period. I did not take any medication before or after. The insertion hurt, but it just felt like typical period cramps. I've had a tiny bit of cramping here and there but I went to work for 10 hours after and went running. I love it so far! I've had a little bit of brownish bleeding but I'm pretty sure it's just from the downfall of my period. I'll update again in a few months to see if things change. I feel like this is just all for your body. Some people react different than others. Definitely worth a shot. Super quick insertion and removal!"


"Starting any new seizure med to me is just straight up scary. I think they are running out of drugs to try. So I have to admit I was a bit worried when I heard the side effects. They have me listed as allergic to depakote, vimpat and keppra but honestly it was how nasty the side effects were. My personality hasn't changed at all on this drug. However, I never was an "active" sleeper which is what I turned into for awhile. It seems to be slowly going away but it was very weird waking up because I was dreaming I was swimming and hit the wall with my foot. As many people with epilepsy know not a horrible side effect. I was having petite mals daily and grand mals probably weekly. Since I started fycompa I have had two petite mal seizures."


"I have about 9 months left out of my three years with Implanon and I'm glad to see that girls have a lot of good things to say about this method of birth control. Sadly, that is not my case. My first year was okay, my periods were light and sometimes non existent. Although I did still have the cramps and PMS. As I was coming up on the 2nd year, just two months before, I did have a period that was full of heavy bleeding and painful cramps. This one lasted almost 3 months! I got extremely sick and anemic. Since then my periods have returned to normal. It is a good way to not get pregnant and I didn't notice any weight gain."


"I do not reccomended this AT ALL. Within a week of taking this, I started hallucinating and I got really bad akethesia. I was up for 3 days seeing things, hearing thinks, and I was even having tactile hallucinations. Most horrible experience I've ever had."


"I really love this product.  I don't have the irritation from the patch like some people are having.  I did find out that if you have a problem with the patch not sticking, clean the area with rubbing alcohol before placing the patch and that helps it to stick just fine.  Maybe that would also help the ones with the irritation as well.  Worth a try anyway.    A little crinkling noise is worth dealing with compared to dealing with overactive bladder.  Another small issue is I feel that one patch is not as effective."


"Worked well in lowering my blood pressure, pulse rate, even helped some with my anxiety. I've noticed no side effects, which is great because usually I find some reason to dislike drugs I am prescribed to. However I've had no issues with this."


"Well I liked it at first. But now am running to the doctor to get it removed. Headaches,acne,nausea and weight gain ,sometimes lost of appetite. Bitchy  mood swings... more depressed Got it 2/2015"


"I'm definitely losing weight extremely fast with this medication. I took 25 mg at night the first 30 days and I'm now on the start of the third month at 50 mg at night, also, 37.5 mg Adipex every morning. With Topamax I CANNOT eat. Everything I eat makes me sick. It definitely changes you're sense of taste and smell which has pretty much stopped my smoking. So, there are huge benefits just the side effects can be a little unbearable at times. I've lost 28.7 pounds in 2 months"


"This has been an amazing contraceptive. My girlfriend is really happy with the results and I find it to be very effective."


"I've been on Depo for about 7 years.  My doctor never told me that I shouldn't be on it for so long, but others have.  I would have rated it a 10 because it stopped my period. I would get occasional spotting like once a year. WONDERFUL! Also, it's easy to remember to schedule your appointment every three months - 10 minutes in and out of the doctors office.  My insurance covered the shot and everything is good there. However, I cannot lose weight. No matter what I've tried. I can't get rid of it and I blame Depo for that. Also, I'm nervous about the decrease of my bone density. So I am now looking to go to Implanon and hope for the better."


"I had daily migraines for several years. I have been prescribed many different preventatives but was taking 50mg of Imitrex and 4 Tylenol #3 a day for pain relief.
Since my neurologist started me on Elavil at 25 mg and finally building up to 50 mg a night (2 months ago) I have only used 2 Imitrex and no more Tylenol with Codeine. This is truly miraculous! The only down side is a 10 lb weight gain. I eat a pretty restricted diet to begin with (no butter or fats, lean meats/fish and no sweets or snack foods). I am trying to further reduce my caloric intake to stop the weight gain. Anyway, I would rather be a little chubby and almost pain free."


"I have been taking Setraline for 6 months  due to Anxiety and mild depression. I am a natural happy and outgoing woman, but due to pressure and high expectations, I guess,  I started feeling anxious and sad all the time. I used to feel chest tightness, rapid palpitations and fear to fail or not do good in life and eventually become a failure. I remember I used to get horrible headaches on a daily basis and even stomach issues. Mind you, I even had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done due to the severity of the digestive problem although the results were okay. Also, I hadinsomia and fatigue. I must confess that all those terrible "symptoms" went away once I started taking this medicine. My mood has improved and I've noticed that I am much happier."


"I have horrible hay fever. Regular antihistamines do not work for me. I still suffer a lot if I take them. Terrible itchy eyes, runny nose, terrible asthma at night which kept me up, and a whole lot of sneezing and an achy body. My doctor prescribed me Singulair along with Patanol and Nasonex. Singulair has changed my life forever. My symptoms have been reduced by as much as 95%. I have no asthma, sneeze occasionally and my itchy eye episodes occur sporadically but stop within minutes. I don't usually even carry eye drops with me anymore. Which before would have been insane of me not to do. I'll give Singulair a 10/10 due to the fact that I've had amazing results and it's the only medication I need to make it through allergy season!"


"My scores went from -3.9 to a -1.08."


"I've been on medication like : Remeron, Tegretol, etc for years. I heard about this medicine and asked my doctor and he prescribed it to me (50 mg).
First week..fine, second week.. The worst time of my life. I felt over depressed, my body sore, had panic attacks, felt extremely aggressive. I ended up in hospital, and this great doctor told me that 50 mg is the initial dose but it's not right because this drug is highly concentrated. I nearly had an overdose bcause of the 50 mg! So as the psychiatrist from the hospital told me to take just 25mg, I now feel alive and happy again."


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1998 and I have been on a LOT of different medicines. This medicine does NOTHING for my pain but it DOES help my mood a lot. Like many people with FMS I suffer from periodic depression and over the years I have been put on almost every type of antidepressant but all of them left me feeling numb to everything - including if I woke up the next day or not. That feeling always terrified me so I had stopped taking any antidepressants. In October of 2014 my doctor suggested I try this and it has made a HUGE difference in my mood without leaving me numb.  If this helped with my pain I would rate it higher but it is amazing for depression."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"I started Genvoya over a week ago. After the 1st night I realized I most likely didn't hit REM sleep. I asked my doctor about it and he said that if taken right before bed, it can cause sleep issues for the first couple months or so. He told me to take it earlier mid afternoon instead. That way my body has time to metabolize the drug before I sleep. I have been sleeping great since. The biggest side effect is the bloated feeling. It does make you very gassy, constipated and makes your natural gag reflex very sensitive. I have vomited 3 times since being on the medication just from coughing or laughing. The doctor said these effects are normal and should go away as my body gets used to the drug. I used CareAssist to pay for Genvoya."


"I was craving for sleep for the last few years. I used to feel so tired and no energy. I just take half of 25 mg of Seroquel and no matter what sort of physical pain or condition I am good to sleep. Waking up fresh next day. Have not had any side effects. Have been taking for the last three months. God Bless Astra Zenca."


"I have been on Implanon for almost two years. For the first year I wasn't with anyone and the implant worked great. But back in July I started bleeding hard and I had never had this before. I have had a weight gain of 20lbs and can't seem to work it off. I have been moody and very sleepy some times for no reason. There are some days that I sleep all day and all night. My OBGYN says that it has nothing to do with the implant but I haven't slept like that since I have had it removed."


"Workedad wonders!"


"I am a 75 year old male, and have reoccurring bout with Iritis, this is the ONLY medication that I take for it (there is another more powerful med. but I can't think of the name of it) . The only side affect I have is a momentary burning however it is only momentary.  I think the med. great and I recommend it."


"This medicine is the bees knees."


"I gained a lot of weight and had a significant increase in headaches. It left me feeling moody, tired and unbalanced."


"I haven't had too many issues on this birth control and have been on it for around six months. I have not experienced mood swings unless about to start my period. The only experience with nausea and this pill are when I have taken it mid day and eat absolutely nothing. So far, I have not gotten pregnant, and my severe back acne has completely cleared up. Overall, I recommend this pill."


"Have been in agony with uti after uti burning and sick and debilitated and no other antibiotics touched it. Had positive strep b culture. Finally feel relief after Rocefin injection. It also helped before quickly with sinus infection. Highly recommend. Antibiotics are awful with deadly side effects. Ciprofloxacin and Levaquin can kill you. Research those two on side effects."


"I have been off and on Lamictal sense i was 15 years old (I am 22 years old now) I have never had a problem with it even going through 2 pregnancies. Very happy with it."


"Gets rid of my headaches easily but sometimes takes an hour before it works.  Taking it on an empty stomach seems to speed up things.  The only down side is they are quite expensive even with insurance."


"I have been on it for about 2 months now. I have had no side effects at all, not even spotting. I don't know if it's affecting my acne. I'm actually very happy with the pill in most ways except one. IT MAKES ME CRAVE FOOD! That is a BIG NO NO for me! I'm on a strict workout/dieting plan. Trying to shave off those love handles before I hit the beaches. But how can it work if I'm always eating! But other than that I'm happy with it. Apparently it affects your sex drive.. but I've had no such problems. Sex is as regular and enjoyable for me as always. I've had no dryness or anything like that. So overall I say it's great for me minus the food issue. "


"I am a reasonably well controlled insulin dependant diabetic. I was put onto flecainide as I was unable to have an atrial ablation and had reacted badly to both beta blockers and calcium blockers. Within 24 hrs of taking a dosage of 30 g , twice, I lost all control of my blood sugars.  I stopped taking flecainide within 48 hrs of the start due to out of control blood reads ie excessively high. 2 days further down the line I still have no control of my blood sugars and have so trebled the amount of insulin I would normally take, eg 14 at breakfast to 8( plus an additional 8 units mid morning). 18 at lunch compared to a usual 8 units as examples.  My diet has currently very little carbs in it as I attempt to get things back under control."


"This is the first time I have ever reviewed a medication, or that one has had such fast results and I hope, will have such an incredible impact on my life.  I have experienced underarm sweating for most of my adult life.  I am now in my early 40's.  Like many, I have had to alter my wardrobe to accommodate my condition.  For many years, I just thought it was part of me and that it wasn't really a treatable condition.  I just got my doctor to prescribe this and after one night of use, I am sweat free for the first time in 15 years.  It is 85 degrees today with 100% humidity- not a drop.  Very slight burning for an hour after I put it on, but bearable.  I'm hopeful this will continue.  Please, if you have this issue, try it."


"I'm 52 years old and felt my life was meaningless, and extremely hard facing everyday routines and now I'm sitting in the garage and feel like I could sit here all day. This is my second day and I feel the best I have in 30 years. Before I couldn't sit here without my mind racing a million times a second and getting up and feeling anxious. I took the day off from work not knowing what my anxiety was going to do, but look forward to going to work tomorrow. So far life is good and I hope this is the miracle drug I've been longing for."


"Had an allergic reaction: shortness of breath, uncontrollable shaking, dizziness, near fainting, headache, fast heart rate. "


"I love Topamax. I can only take the minimal dosage or else I will get the tingling and start to feel a little out of it. I was suffering from silent migraines for over a year and a half. Nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, light headedness, fatigue, upset stomach and daily headaches but the headaches could be cured with ibuprofen. Of course, it took a while to figure out that these symptoms were all caused by migraines but they were and after taking Topamax for 2 weeks I stopped having silent migraines.

I even went off of it after about 3 months of being on it, just to see if my body had possibly regulated itself, but it had not. I was sick again in no time. It was horrible. It took about 2 weeks for the Topamax to kick back in."


"Thank God for this medication! After a few major life changes I recently went through I developed an anxiety disorder on top of frequent panic attacks. After trying a few medicines my PCP put me on a Xanax regimen. BAD IDEA! Within 2 1/2 months I was up to 4-5mg/day! I got sick of it and went to a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. After being appalled that I was prescribed that much Xanax she put me on a Gabapentin regimen. 100mg 3x's a day for one week, then 200mg 3x's a day for my second week. Then a follow up. I just started my second week and I'm already taking less than half of the Xanax I was needing. She said within a month I'll be off the Xanax. I feel great all day. I don't even feel like I need the Xanax."


"I used Nuva Ring successfully for almost 3 years, no side effects it was perfect for what I needed. An easy to use no worry birth control method. Over the last two years I've had a dramatic increase in side effects, zero, and I mean ZERO sex drive. Fortunately my fianc"


"My doctor put me on Levaquin to help my sinusitis and also a tummy issue I've been having. So far so good. I feel better already with increased energy but I'm not sleeping. I have dry mouth but solved that by keeping a bottle of water by the bed. Just took a sip every time I woke up (which was like every 1/2 hour)."


"Xanax helped me major status! When I was 22 years old tried spice its a messed up chemical synthetic THC bull.. anyways I smoked three bowls and then boom I couldn't breath my hands and muscles tightened up and I couldn't move. And my chest felt like I had 500 pounds on it! I thought I was dying and my whole body was tingly! Went to the hospital and they diagnose with GAD and panic disorder. For three months I did not leave my house and I thought I was dying 50% of the time. So my doctor put me on Ativan for a month I stopped taking it in 5 days. I felt like I was going insane. So I was given. Xanax for a month. The first time taking it BOOM it all stopped I was a normal person it helped me get over all my panic attacks! 0.5Mg as needed!"


"First two months on this implant were great! No pain with insertion, normal periods (maybe one day longer total), slight breast tenderness, no noticeable change in sex drive/weight/attitude. But that's were my good review ends, sadly. 4 days after my second period I started bleeding heavily. This has lasted for 3+ weeks, and I got it removed yesterday bc I cannot deal with it anymore. Since the bleeding started I broke out, have been increasingly up then down, on the verge of tears most days, and barely feeling sexual (probably due to the fact I'm bleeding). NP at planned parenthood has said lots of women have gotten this removed because of bleeding that lasts for weeks, and that it may take me a few MORE weeks to stop."


"I am male, 62 year old. Got a blood clot the entire length of my saphenous vein. I was put on generic warfarin first at 2.5mg/day. I got sweaty, headachy, and felt depressed. This went on for two weeks until I read reviews about Coumadin on this site. Switched to Coumadin. INR stabilized, sweats went away, and headaches went away in about 10 days.
I know that Coumadin and Warfarin are supposed to be chemically the same molecule. I propose that the objective differences between these two drugs most likely can be accounted for by considering that one may have more pure isomers than the other."


"it's too early to tell if it's working it's just the difficult side effects. I've been dealing with brutal acid reflux and pain after swallowing (as soon as food hits the top of my stomach there is severe cramping and pain.) However, these are tips that have personally helped me quite a bit. I am not a professional in anyway:

1. Drink with a TON of water
2. Never EVER take on an empty stomach
3. Eat with a large NON-acidic meal;
Good: bread, rice, potatoes, bananas, milk, plain chicken
Bad: Citrus fruit, tomatoes, oils, anything fried, anything carbonated, anything with lots of spices.
4. Do not lay down right after taking
5. Take a probiotic but take at least a few hours before or after taking this"


"Too many restrictions and not a lot of other medication can be used with Nardil...lots of interactions.  Going off of Nardil caused some side effects as well."


"I've been on this for 10 months and I haven't had my period since month three, this did not lower my sex drive or make me gain weight. Everyone is different, do research before deciding which birth control method is best for you!"


"I was really worried at first because of all the negative comments. I just finished my first month of Microgestin, and I had absolutely no side effects. I have not seen significant weight gain or terrible acne. In fact, I think this medication has actually reduced my acne! My skin's clear and smooth, and I don't have painful heavy periods anymore. I think it's worth giving this medication a try!"


"Trileptal changed my life. After anti-psychotics not being a good add on to my Lithium and Lamitcal because of heavy non-functional side effects/not tolerated. I searched so long and hard for something that might be able to help stabilize my mood (mostly mania). I have been taking Tripetal at a low dose of 600mg per day for 3 weeks, in addition to my current medication, and just in the first week my mood evened out, I felt normal or whatever normal probably feels like. I am now able to go into therapy and tackle some of my addiction/impulsive behavior that I did not have the capacity to do before when I was not in my right mind. I am so grateful for this medicine for my Bipolar disorder."


"This medicine works better than any other allergy medication with decongestion that I have ever tried."


"I'm 18. This is the first pill I've been on. I've been taking it for 4 months every day at the same time, no missed pill. The first month I was very moody, anything set me off. I'm fine now, but considering swapping because each month when "ovulation" would occur, I bleed. It's constant spotting for almost a week at a time. Of course, I was on antibiotics at one point. But other than that 1 month, I've bled. I'm tired of the spotting, but they said give it a few months. Not sure what to do. Breasts did get larger.

Just don't like the spotting at all."


"I read these reviews for over a month before even taking these meds. I will say this, you just have to go for it. Best decision I've made in a VERY long time. Abilify has helped me in so many ways! I was at my lowest point. I was severely depressed. I've been taking this medication for over a month & hands down I feel great. Yes I still have my days but  they are for sure getting better.. All I want to say is do NOT let what other people say stop you from getting better. Try it for at least 6 wks & judge for yourself. At this point weight gain is welcomed for me. I lost so much weight I'd like to gain at least 30 lol. I am just happy to feel "NORMAL" again. I hope all of you get better. Stay Strong & never give up. Stay Blessed "


"I've been on a short term detox from painkillers using Suboxone. It truly is a miracle drug, if used correctly. I think long-term use is starting to look like a nightmare scenario for some. Be careful, use for less than 2 weeks and you'll be good. Less is more."


"I'm a 68 year-old male and I've taken this drug for almost 10 years and it has helped me enormously. I have had no side effects yet my doctor now says he wants me to get off it. I asked why and he said Ambien is dangerous. After 10 years now it's dangerous? I now am cutting down to 1/4 of 5mg and it is not working. I asked what options do I have and he said "natural sleep is best" Thanks, doctor."


"I am usually not the type to comment or write a review I feel so lost, helpless and alone about this subject. I decided to go on some method of birth control because I was having abnormal bleeding since October 2014 (two times a month, week long heavy bleeding). I got Depo shot in Feb. and wouldn't stop bleeding. Then my doc decided I should try IUD Mirena in April. I literally bleed (Feb-End of July) non stop! It stopped for 3 weeks in August .... So far I've been on my period since start of Sept! I see no sign of stopping. I've never been pregnant and the insertion process was painful it put me to tears. Worst cramp I've ever had and that lasted all day. Occasionally I get sharp cramping that last 5-10minutes. :( I feel helpless."


"I've been taking this pill for about 3 weeks now. I don't remember the last time I've had a full meal of food. My appetite has decreased drastically and whenever I see food I get nauseous."


"I have fairly severe anxiety and depression, as well as some insomnia. I've only been on this medication for a few days. I have tried Lexapro, Buspirone, Zoloft, Gabapentin, Trazadone, and Topamax. I was on Lexapro for about three years and it worked wonders. All of the others either had little to no effect or had terrible side effects. I am now coming off Zoloft and starting Remeron (mirtazipine) combined with Effexor Xr. Although I have not been on it long enough for it to improve my mood, I have noticed that it makes me feel almost zombie like. It helps me sleep, but I have to force myself out of bed and I am constantly tired throughout the day. I am going to give it some time and see how it goes."


"I've been on Implanon now for about 2 and half years now and I'm still getting my periods. They started off normal & now they are just irregular. I've had my period now for the past three weeks now and it's not normal period blood it's more brown and chunky than anything I've experienced before. I'm not the type to go to the Drs. but it's getting to the point where it's ruining my sex life. I never had depression or weight loss or gained any but I do get less headaches then what I did before. I would recommend the Implanon to people who are forgetful about taking pills it's just risky because the symptoms are different for everyone."


"DO NOT TAKE IT!!!!

Ever since I got my first shot in January 2016, I haven't stopped bleeding. (It's May 2016). It gives me horrible cramps, mood swings, and decrease in breast size. I had basically all the bad symptoms from this birth control... Please DON'T take it.

I've been bleeding for 4 months straight and it's driving me insane. Please pray for me that this will end soon."


"I had mine inserted about 2 weeks ago. I was 6 weeks postpartum. Had very little spotting mostly with wiping. No cramping and insertion was painless. However, that is probably because I just had a baby! The only thing that is bothersome is my husband can feel the strings. I can feel it poking out of my cervix too. If we can't even enjoy sexy time I am getting it removed even though I personally love it."


"I've struggled with acne since I was about 13. I've used Proactive, Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, AcneFree, etc. and every other acne system you can think of.
This product gets rid of my acne in about 4 days; it is all I need now. It doesn't matter what face wash, or toners you use with this, because all you need is the Acanya gel. It's pretty expensive but one bottle (only put on problem spots) lasts me about 4 months.

Acanya has completely has kept my acne away for about a year now. As soon as you put it on, the next morning the size of the bumps reduce in size dramatically. About a week later, I had no acne. I didn't have bad skin, I just needed the right product."


"It worked for a while then it stopped working a few months later"


"I have suffered from debilitating migraines for years and have tried to take different medicines and avoid triggers and nothing worked until I used topamax... so it seemed. I've been on a 100mg dose for about 6 months and am currently weening off it because I would rather die of migraine pain than live with the side effects of this terrible drug!(yes i know thats a big statement) However because of this drug at the young age of 18 I have been dissolved into an 80 year old woman. I cant remember anything, I went from an A to a D in math, I will completely forget life events and how I got places even when I was the one who drove, I am constantly dehydrated, yet always have a strong urge to urinated causing me to wet the bed..."


"The only positive of Nexplanon is that you don't have to worry about it for 3 years. But the negatives definitely outweigh the positive.

I bled for 2 and a half months straight when I started it, and now I constantly am wearing a liner because of random spotting and periods. Periods last more than 2 weeks, which led to other issues such as yeast infections, etc.

Sex drive is an all time low, and I get mood swings. I also get hot flashes from it.

I really don't recommended this to anyone."


"I found the right antidepressant (Pristiq) but had to deal with erectile dysfunction as a result.  Viagra worked but made my heart feel like it was going to explode after sex.  Nothing like that with Cialis and I'm back to enjoying sex again. Three thumbs up!"


"Been on Victoza for 6 days, Dr started me right on the 1.8 dose. Still use a for a couple days, cravings sided dramatically, I am tolerating this med successfully. Not sure of my A1C as yet, but my fasting blood glucose has gone from an average of 200 down to 115 this morning, lost 3 lbs..... Wow!"


"Any time that I have pain from over exertion resulting in muscle pain or an infrequent headache my go to medicine is Anacin. For me it works FAR better than Advil, Aleve, Tylenol or Aspirin. This week I had pain from running and had no relief from other products but once I found Anacin I had relief within 1 hour and the relief has lasted. Once, when I had minor surgery the Anacin worked much better than Tylenol 3 that was prescribed for me. I have no idea why Anacin works better for me but it always has."


"I've been on Ciprofloxcin for 3 days now for a urinary tract infection and I don't know what's worst...the pain from the actual infection or the horrible feeling this medication has given me. Every time I take it it gives me a headache, I feel drained and dizzy and give me this restless anxiety attack feeling. I hope that at the end of my 7 day cycle it will be worth it but so far I feel worst than better."


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


"Hi There I've been on Saxenda for three weeks now up to 1.8 no results I've actually put on weight. I haven't had any side effects. Very disappointed but will hang in there till I finish the script but probably won't buy the new script."


"I am a 25 year old female who was diagnosed with Crohn's almost 2 months ago. Pentasa has helped to relieve the very severe stomach cramping I was experiencing before my diagnosis. This is the first treatment my doctor has given me but after a month of taking 4-250mg capsules 4 times a day (in combination with Budesonide 9m) I finally feel comfortable after eating.  I'm not noticing any side effects yet. Maybe I'm lucky though after reading some of these other reviews. I wish I didn't have to take 16 of them each day, but to be able to stand up after a meal is wonderful for someone who used to keel over screaming and crying with a rock hard stomach after eating!"


"Lost over ten pounds in ten days. Had some nausea on random days but not every day or consistently or necessarily when my dose went up. Pleased with results overall though my weight loss wasn't as dramatic or fast as other people's."


"I've been using this for about 8 months my periods up until the 6th month were regular some didn't come until the 3rd or 4th day on the placebo pills but then they got lighter and lighter this month I haven't bled at all it makes me nervous but I've heard this is normal. Other than that I've had no other issues."


"WARNING: Majority of the positive reviews for this drug are from people that are new to Vyvanse and problem is that this drug works wonders at start but benefits quickly starts to diminish and side effects start to get worse.
I took vyvanse for two years and at first it worked great for ADD. However after taking it consistently for few months I started experiencing anxiety, depression, aggressiveness, anti social behavior, insomnia and isolation... things I never experienced before in my life. The drug is also very addictive because if you stop you feel 100x worse then before you started taking it but the longer you take it the higher dosage you need to get same effect. Eventually it stops working and you just need it to get out of bed."


"I liked Topamax because I never worried about having a seizure. I obtained complete control and the added benefit of helping the migraines, however the MD discontinued it after I had personality changes, severe weight loss and acidosis. "


"I took Abilify for over a year, at 30mg. I remember a few pros and cons.
Pro: I became ok with not having to talk, explain, or stir up 'energy' at public gatherings. (Took away the "prophet - tell them or they'll all die" urge completely.)
Pro: I could complete projects without superstition or worry that every tiny detail could lead to catastrophe.
Con: Severe Akathisia (very painful, and pain wasn't managed at all in the hospital. This is why I don't take anti psychotics anymore!)
Con: Loss of creativity/writers block
Con: Very flat personality.
Con: Visual, auditory and tactile hallucinations did not go away so they kept increasing dose to highest dose - still never went away.
If there was no pain, I'd give this a 9."


"Day 3 of taking doxycycline and my eyes are burning and swelling, any one else have this problem? Does it eventually stop? Should I stop taking or should I tough it out?"


"I had massive amount of fluid retention and I lost 50 pounds in 5 days @ 1 pill a day taken with my Lasix , it worked great for me and I'm very happy with the results .... thanks to my new doctor , it got rid of a lot of fluid that was inside of me and I thank God he gave then to me ... that is the only thing that worked for me . Now I'm 70 pounds lighter thanks to that lil small pill ....."


"The best antidepressant drug there is right now hands down and I have been on all of them. I take before I go to bed and sleep well and wake up and can do the things I need to do that I couldn't do before this drug. "


"Had my first shot in my left knee almost 3 years ago!  Was amazing and still no issues to this day. My second shot was in the right knee which lasted a little over a year and just had the third in that same knee.  Almost PAIN free in both.  Far better than surgery!!!  Highly recommend before opting for surgery!!"


"I'm a week away from finishing my second free trial pack from my doc, and I won't be taking anymore. I switched from sprintec, because he said they were lower dose and would make my periods lighter. I was sold on the less hormones. So I get home to Google these, and of course they're practically brand new. I hate being a Guinea Pig, and 5 bucks says doctors are getting paid to prescribe them. They make me sick to my stomach, and I've had terrible migraines. My face is broken out, but I'm not pregnant. (At least I hope not) I say this because this was literally the shortest period I've ever had, like 2 days, 2 tampons two pads. Which actually freaks me out. My 5 day periods were light and just fine. Not bleeding doesn't seem natural to me"


"I am on forteo for two months. I am not sure if my T score has improved since I haven't taken a BD test yet. However, I have experience many side effects with forteo: 5 min after injection (which I hate), I start feeling tremendous pain at the lowe part of my spine. I found out that I can aleviate this pain by moving around (walking fast) for 15 min. I also discovered a very bad interaction with alcohol. Even a small glass of sangria during dinner, had as a result the development of an extreme pain after injection and inability to move for 45 min. Recently, I have also experienced a similar problem when I was on azythromycin for some mouth infection....Other symptoms I have 2 h after injection are flu-kind symptoms, shivering, insomnia"


"My husband was in hospital for a week. They saved his life with this medication. He has change a lot and not side effects, now his talk his happy 99% change. Hope he continues like that."


"I first reviewed this in November 2010, (see past comments). I have since had ALIF surgery (anterior multi level fusion l-3, 4 and 5), and am feeling better everyday. I have been prescribed every painkiller in the book for the past year and a half, nothing provides the pain relief with minimal side effects that Nucynta does. Nothing. In the hospital I was injected with 2mg morphine every 3 hours plus oxycodone every 4 hours and was a complete zombie. Left the hospital, took 100mg Nucynta and received the same relief with no ill effects. It's been 2 weeks. Now taking 50mg 3x daily."


"Got pain gone"


"I'm 24, previously taking oral contraceptives for 9 years. I'm giving this 5 because it is effective in the most basic sense. I no longer worry about getting pregnant or taking pills and my periods are regular and very light. However I am one year in and planning to get it removed because of the side effects. First, the insertion was incredibly painful for me followed by excruciating cramps. The first 6 months was radical mood swings, acne, weight gain and cramping that gradually stabilized. I'm a year in now though and I'm finding it hard to work off the weight, I'm still very emotional, my skin is bad (possibly unrelated but my eczema has come back), low sex drive. I gave it a chance but I'd rather take pills/use condoms and be happy."


"Hello all. I am a chronic pain sufferer, and am allergic to most pain medications. Zohydro 40mg er works wonders for me. I take it twice per day, with one 10mg hydrocodone for breakthrough pain relief. My situation is so serious, that at times, I've wanted to die. The pain is just that bad, but now I'm getting relief~ it sort if let's levels it off, and my ability to function without the constant thought of hurting is greater. It's an absolute pain reliever."


"I started taking this pill when I was 21 years old. Because of recent times, I switched to the Mirena IUD, and it didn't work for me for various reasons. I switched back to this pill January 2017 and love it. I like this pill because while you absolutely SHOULD take it at the same time everyday, as long as you take it within a few hours of the same time each day--you should be fine. I've never had a pregnancy scare on this pill, so that's a major benefit. No crazy mood swings or bad side effects. This time around I will say this: my period is way lighter. Used to last 7 days, now only lasts 5. One and only bummer was the first month or two my appetite was weird - this symptom went away after 2 months though! Highly recommend this BC."


"Took for bipolar disorder (for the depression). In small doses, this caused me to be too sleepy to function. When I took a large dose at night however, it knocked me out and I was good the next day. This really did help with the depression and mood swings. However, it caused significant weight gain. I had to stop taking this when a job had ended and I no longer had insurance. I fought insomnia for around 6 months, but after that time was finally able to sleep again and the weight came out. I would recommend this for someone who really needs it, but not until other medicines have been tried first with no success."


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


"I was  diagnosed  with DC breast  cancer in November  2014. After 6 chemo treatments, a double  mastectomy  and 33 radiation  treatments, I have been on Tamoxifen  for 7 months. The hot flashes are getting  better at times, and I'm taking Gapapentin  for my hot flashes, the back and hip pain is horrible ,  I have put on 20lbs, I go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week and ride my horse 3 times  a week, but all forced .  I feel bad pretty much all the time. Always sick to my stomach .  Working  out makes me feel more sick, but I push thru it anyway. No matter what I do I can't drop weight. I'm in the process  of loosing  my eyelashes  for the 4th time . I use  to have pretty, thick hair and now it's thin. My memory  is horrible. I hate this life."


"Paxil has changed my life. I was terrified to start another medication for depression and anxiety because of all the bad experiences I have had. I have tried over 10 medications and finally after just a week with this medication it has completely changed eveything for me. I feel like my normal self and can enjoy life again!!"


"I've had moderate to severe GERD for 10+ years; last med I was on was Lansoprolzale for 5+ years.  Recently, I was switched to Pantaprozale Sodium 40 mg a day; have taken it for less than a week and it's been hell since the first day I took it. Have had sweats and the worst joint and muscle pains and cramps, and ulcers in my mouth along with a sore throat. At the NP's advice who prescribed it I also take Magnesium.  I'm stopping this med today and hope these side effects go away soon."


"After finally getting around to reading about the possible side effects, I now know why I am having a major acne breakout, also nausea and very loose stools.  I don't know what else I can do, but this medicine is not for me."


"I like Wellbutrin SR. It helps me lose weight I was at 174 and now at 155 where I should be. I have tried over 11 medications, but this seems to work great. It gives me more energy which I need working 2 jobs."


"Have to continue this after getting prior authorization. Insurance let me have Victoza for 4 times more the previous copay but Novo disk had that discount card on the website I requested and now my prescription is only $25. Basically the medicine stops my carbohydrate addiction and puts me back in control of what I eat and how my body burns fuel.  This is worth it."


"I've been taking Doxy for a while until my face cleared up and I just had a lot of scarring on my face. Later on (mid-December) I starting to break out again and I had leftover Doxy. It doesn't seem to be as effective as before but it definitely works. You have to be patient and take when needed. I take 2x daily. You really want to eat a meal with this medication, not eating a meal could will you make you feel nauseous and could make you throw up."


"Absolutely and utterly, awful. I wouldn't recommended this to anybody. I had the implant in for 5 days and suffered a very severe panic attack which led me to the hospital, it was very scary. After this I suffered awful, awful physical symptoms such as: weakness in limbs, extreme dizziness (vertigo symptoms) sickness, my whole body even went numb at one point! I've been on and off anti depressants which made things worse until I went back to the family planning and asked if it's this that's causing it of course 'no no!! absolutely not' went to my doctor who told me 'you need to have that removed'. A week after having it out and I'm starting to feel myself again, I'm not saying don't have it but I'm not saying have it either, it's awful."


"A year ago I started to feel anxiety in certain social situations. In recent months, the anxiety began to provoke panic attacks. I have researched a lot and I tried a lot of drugs (Diazepam, Alprazolam, Clonazepam, valerian, etizolam etc.. ), but they did not help me. Since studying chemistry I had difficulty working in the lab. I decided to get Propranolol to try a different approach to anxiety / panic attacks. Now I have my life back. There is no shaking, twitches or cracking voice. I do not concern with what might happen because I know that propranolol blocks any fear (not mentally, but physically). I recommend it to all those who suffer from social anxiety accompanied by physical symptoms."


"I went to the ER and they determined I didn't exactly have a UTI but it was a possibility so they started me on Macrobid. I had never taken it before. Within two days I was hysterical. I had such intense migraines that I fell multiple times and couldn't see straight. My stomach was a mess, I couldn't go to the bathroom, I wanted to sleep but I couldn't fall asleep because my head was pounding too hard. I called my PCP who checked the ER records and told me I had never had a UTI to begin with and to stop the Macrobid ASAP. Once I stopped it the migraines went away, I stopped falling, my gastrointestinal system has now days later, returned to normal."


"My period ended on the first of November. Two days later I had protected sex, but the condom had broke. This was around 7 or 8 o'clock at night. All of the pharmacies were closed so I had to wait. I found Plan B One Step at a local pharmacy and I had taken the pill within 48 hours. Because of the pill I've experienced a lot of irritability. It basically just feels like PMS. Today, 6 days after I took the pill, I noticed light bleeding and I've had a little bit of cramping. "


"I was on NuvaRing for a little for a year and I absolutely LOVED it! I had NO side effects at all. I was scared to have sex the first time with it in. But after, I asked my boyfriend if he had felt it and he said felt what? So no complaints with that either. I LOVED it!"


"November 2011 at age 19 I went to the gyno to discuss birth control options with the doctor and my fiance (now husband). Children were not a part of our plan so young so we decided to get the Mirena. Financially it was the best option, not to mention the most convenient.The insertion was definitely uncomfortable, and the first 3 months were rough as the IUD settled in and I got that awful jabbing feeling. I gained about 10-15 pounds, but that is an effect of just about any birth control option you use. After being on it almost 4 years I randomly spot, but it's done it's job. If you can hang in for the 1st 3 months or so, and you're looking for an effective, hassle free, long-term birth control I strongly suggest this method!"


"The only thing I hate is the pen injector pushes very hard it actually bothers my thumb joint after 6 months I have to use my other hand to push the injector button in. They need to get them like my lantuas which hardly takes any effort. I will probrably switch back to lantuas just because of that.

You think after all the effort put into creating insulin they wouldn't cut corners on the injection pen.."


"I've suffered all my life with anxiety/panic attacks. Seems to worsen as I age. I've tried many different meds. Ssri's in particular this drug class is the only to show improvements in my condition as I have major depression as well. Clonazepam works really well for me it's like a constant flow of relief. I would recommend this. I also take Wellbutrin in combo."


"I have severe psoriatic arthritis but I do not have the rash. I've been on this medicine just a week but notice improvement already. I am pretty nauseous all the time, and it seems like I may lose weight because of it... But, frankly, I need to lose 110lbs anyways so... Win win?"


"Fantastic product!  I have, like most, tried everything.  Orals, topicals, injectable, etc.  This cleared me up quickly (at least the spots I could reach).  Within a month large plaque areas were smooth and flesh tones.  While other lesser spots were gone leaving the dark patch of my past spots.  It leaves a "waxy" feel when applied but not the ointment feel of others at all.  I would HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone."


"I take 1/2 of a 10mg per night after I'm already in bed, and I am asleep in 15 minutes normally.  Been taking it for 3 months, it works great.  No weirdness or sleep walking/talking."


"Abreva did not work and I believe caused them to spread on my lower lip. I have 6 different sores on my whole bottom lip in different stages. I'm 33 and I don't normally use abreva but I'm out of town so I bought it in a pinch. I've never experienced this spreading before in this degree. I will never use abreva again."


"Newly diagnosed with Stage 3 COPD at 56. Tried two other medicines first with no relief. Switched to Anoro, and BAM! I can breathe again. I don't know what the long term effects will be, but it has given me some hope that I will be able to function well enough to take care of myself and exercise."


"Over 10 years of pains in all joints, fatigue, firey feelings and severe pain in feet, swelling of feet, skin problems, red eyes, neck and back pains failing to sit or write or read to mention a few, my life came to stand still, can do nothing at all but eat and sleep until 4 years ago finally diagnosed with MCTD. After so many other medicines started on etanercept and continued on methotrexate and prednisone  6 months ago. Got back on my feet though side effects of boils and many others. I find etanercept a God answer for my healing. Due to the expense stopped it for a month, symptoms all came back, I've resumed it but not sure if its working but will give it time. My only fear is the price of the medicine meaning stopping again."


"I have been taking Lamictal for about a month and I can see the difference the only thing is that I am itching all over. I was wondering if that is normal with this medication. I have no rashes or red bumps, just I itch ."


"Effective for mild pain, not very effective for more moderate to severe pain."


"Check out the words Malar Edema.  This is what Bellafill, injected into my cheeks, has left me with.
They are red pouches on my cheeks, something I never had before the injections.  I am so upset
with this, and it cost me $9,000 to add to my total dismay!  And to make it worse, make-up will NOT
cover these unattractive lumpy red pouches."


"Migraine suffer for 12 years; used Botox for 1.5 years (32 shots in my forehead, scalp, neck & shoulders) until last injunction in July 2016 caused Bells Palsy, blurry vision and loss of hearing all on the right side. It's been 7 months and droopy face is better, but vision and hearing have not returned. Neurologist said should return by 6 months or most likely permanent. I had to pay $1200 a quarter to lose my sight and hearing! Never use Botox...not worth it."


"Started taking finasteride for hair-loss 4 years ago at the age of 22 when the balding became evident. My balding started in the crown area and moved it's way toward the temples, so I am/was a diffuse thinner. I was lucky enough to stop it in time and regrow virtually everything and more with this medication, along with the help of Minoxidil. There are no side effects for me to document. My sex-drive has and is still always in hyper-speed; I have suffered no brain-fog, no ill effects to speak of whatsoever. Besides the price-tag, this medication will save your hair. You have to try it out for yourself. And just to note: there is no possible way for 1 pill to have permanent side effects, do your research."


"I have been on Dexilant for 5 weeks now for severe GERD and Reflux. I have tried many, many other medications. The only one that came close to working was Nexium, but the side effects were horrible and numerous. I had to stop taking it after 6 weeks.

So far, I have taken Dexilant without much incident - and it is WORKING! I have significant relief of my symptoms and the only side effect I've noticed is a metallic taste in my mouth at times. To me, this is very minor and worth the trade off.

Well worth the money so far. I'm so happy my Dr. prescribed Dexilant for me!"


"No side effects other than some dry mouth. I have had pain in my upper mid right back for several years. The pain radiated to underneath my right rib cage. After 2 years and many CT scans, my surgeon removed my gallbladder. It was diseased and had small stones, but my condition did not improve. My surgeon said that he thought my pain could be skeletal and started me on a muscle relaxer with a low dose of Elavil at night. My pain has almost subsided and my neuropathy is much better. I am so glad to be taking it."


"I'm 21 years old I had the Implanon since 2011 and I can say this is the best birth control there is. I can honestly say that this birth control should be more used and be a main option to this generation that do not like to take the pill or shots every 3 months. Its very effective I have no problems with my birth control. It is my last year with it and it has really changed my life. Yes it is expensive but WORTH IT."


"While on and off this medicine since I was about 17, I overlooked this drug's effectiveness only to end up realizing how well this can stabilize me.   Although at initially high doses it can create some fuzziness/fog in memory and cognitive disruptions, the feelings of well-being i get outweigh its negative side effects that slowly dissipate over time.  I am now 22 and will continue to be taking this until i feel that my condition won't affect my life even if that sounds like a rare occurrence.  I highly recommend this medicine for mood disruptions, dysfunctional thinking processes and other similar living disturbances. Keep calm and carry on."


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


"Diagnosis of Idyopathic Hyposomnia about 15 months ago, prescribed Modafinil 4 tbs a day. Over time lasting power decreased dramatically.  3weeks ago was prescribed Armodafinil. Side effects are quite debilitating, Dizziness,  nausea,  and and a big increase in migraine headaches. The overwhelming sleepiness is bad, impacting on daily life. Finding Armodafinil is only lasting about 6 hours so definitely no night driving. I can really feel the come down as it wears off. Disappointed as I was really hoping for some improvement in life quality."


"My Nuvaring experience was great! I LOVE IT. At first I lost sexual desire but then I felt maybe I'm just listening to these reviews too much it was all in my head its fine now. I didn't have any side effects, I didn't gain weight. I would recommend this to any girl.  "


"I have been on Lamictal for approximately a month now for bipolar 1, slowly working up to what I am now at 100mg. I have noticed a dramatic drop in depression but hypo mania only slightly changed, I think it only feels like it has worsened because the depression isn't there to bring me back down, I still can't sleep at night, I still panic, feel the doom of anxiety, and racing thoughts among other things. I have had an incredibly increased libido, overall I can't believe how well its working in such a short time without the terrible side effects that other medications can give you. I'm a mom of 4, I have no time to be a zombie, confused, tired and slow, I look forward to seeing the next few months."


"This product is really good and effective. The monistat 1 is the way to go. It cleans you out and there is no itching if, you only have a yeast infection or no yeast infection at all. Some people use it to get there pH balance back on track from condom use or multiple partner unprotected sex. You may not have a STD but unprotected sex can throw your pH balance off. But,if you have BV, trichomonas(a popular STD that clinics don't test for,a Parasite), the Monistat will flare up that infection and make you  itch till kingdom come"


"I'm allergic to amoxicillin, penicillin, and erythromycin.  This is pretty much the only antibiotic I can take.  Works fast, works well.  Only side effect is I get night sweats.  It gets 10/10 because this is the only antibiotic that I can actually take without Bad Stuff (or death) happening."


"I been taking Oxycontin for over 10 years. Started at 10mg and slowly up to now 60mg. I have always been prescribed for 2xday. But being a former alcoholic, I only took one tablet per day and Vicodin 500mg for break through pain. It is the only way I would be able to have any type of quality of life. I suffer from Degenerative Disc disease, 3 Herniated discs, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and now Sjogrens. I am 49 and disabled to work but I do not want to be disabled from life. My grandbabies need their grandma! You can abuse aspirin if you chose to but if you take the medicines correctly and do not abuse - it will give you some degree of life. Life is to be with quality and this medicine has helped me."


"i started taking lo 5 days ago I have experiences mood swings not severe but just basically feeling weird. My body is just not right. I bled lightly first 2 days of my period and now I am bleeding heavy for 3 days with bad cramping and back aches. I feel like I am craving junk food and I definitely gained a couple pounds within these few days as crazy as it sounds. Hopefully my body will adjust bc I plan on staying on these"


"I started Cymbalta 30 mg last night for the first time. The medicine made me very sleepy and I fell asleep. I awoke during the night with very sharp pains in my head, the left side of my face felt numb, a lot of sweating, very unusual racing thoughts (I was a business woman with a briefcase walking the streets in New York) ...(possible hallucination, not sure) heart palpitations and my head felt like it weighed a ton. It is now the next day and I feel very weak and dizzy and lightheaded. I'm nauseated and still having headaches. Wished it could have worked but I can't take it anymore."


"I have used Soma for 2 years and it really helps me. I have nothing bad to report about it. I do not feel addicted, and only use as needed but it certainly relieves my neck and lower back pain to the point where I can at least work. I have no hallucinogenic effects with it and don't feel sleepy with it either.  It's just a great drug."


"Seroquel XR stabilized my Bipolar within a week.  I felt no emotion at all, high or low.  But I was a zombie, sleeping 18 or more hours a day on 300mg.  I switched to 200mg and could function well after 8 hours sleep with only a 1 hour or so "hang over", but my job requires me to be on 24 hour call and I got called only 2 hours after taking my medication.  All I could do was drool on the telephone.  I'm trying Geodon now."


"I have been on Ocella for about 4 months now. Overall it has done its job of keeping me kid-free but I get horrible cramps a day or two before my period and during it. Periods are definitely shorter and lighter so I don't understand the increase in cramps. I also have been getting headaches quite frequently but I don't know if I can attribute that to this medication."


"Aj - 5'8 - 283LBS
After 4 yrs of obesity, 3 of them during my ex's (children's father) horrendous battle w/cancer & recent death, here I am.  My family doctor was witness to this emotional journey and my physical decline with weight gain, extreme fatigue and body aches. I had a recent checkup and learned my bloodwork and specialist appt were all clear. I mentioned to Dr. A that I finally feel like I am seeing myself again and wish I could get my body to match my level of happiness and will to do more. He talked to me about Phentermine. After some thought I started on 8/5/17, one 30mg pill daily. Today I am -10lbs! No side effects and sleep well! I "plan" healthy snacks as my appetite is very low. Energy level is up but not crazy."


"I started taking Glipizide ER initially with instructions to take it only if my blood glucose level was 180 or higher.  I did not have to take it every day, but took it several times a week. Then I was started having a hard time controlling my daily glucose levels. My Hg A1c was higher, so the instructions were changed to 2 in the a.m. and 1 at night.  I purchased the medication from a different source and it was a larger pill with now Glipazide XL instead of ER.  I have experienced a number of side effects and feel worse with it than before I started taking it.  The longer I have taken it the worse I feel.  I feel drugged, want to sleep all the time, have a slight headache, more thirsty, constipation on occasion, dry eyes, and more.  Yuck!"


"My face and back have developed an acne break-out that my doctor described as the "worst reaction to a birth control" she has ever seen. Huge, painful inflamed pustules! I was very tired my first two weeks on it, too. I am usually a very high energy person and I could NOT get going."

"I was diagnosed with gastroparesis in 2012 and have a neuro abdominal stimulator transplant. I take both strengths; 290 when home and 145 when I travel. Both work well as I have no ability for food to move out of my stomach. I do take it every morning and while I can consider it a bit violent at times (stay close to a bathroom after a couple hours of taking it), if I don't take it, I will not have any movement. I don't care for miralax or other over the counters as I experience a lot of bloating, gas and cramps before it finally kicks in...and it takes too long to kick in for me.

My specialist has approved me to take the different strengths; I still don't know over the long term what effects will be on my kidneys or liver."


"I am on day 14 of the starter pack and I have to stop. I have had nausea, vomiting, dizzy spells, blurry vision, drunk feeling. I was stopping Venlefexine and slowly tapering off while starting savella. I had a rash for about 24 hours too. This is the worst side effects from a medication I have ever had. I have also lost about 4 pounds in 3 days because I have not been able to eat."


"I've been on this pill for about two weeks, this is one of the best sleeping pill to ever take if you're have trouble sleeping, my breast are cup size bigger, and I seem to get more emotional than usual."


"Remeron helped very much initially. After trying a host of other depression meds, this one seemed to work and had minimal side effects after the first week. However, at a low dose it stopped doing the job and have had to go up twice to the max dose of 45 mg. I no longer sleep well, and have had HUGE weight gain and ended up with diabetes. I plan to gradually wean myself off and treat the depression with natural means--exercise, diet, supplements."


"I hate Bunavail! It makes my legs ache, and the tops of my feet feel bruised all the time to the point I can hardy walk!"


"I am a 19 year old male prescribed to a 0.5mg dosage of Xanax to be taken twice daily. Depending on my spouts of anxiety or an occasional panic attack, I either take one or a half of one to calm my state of mind. I try to just take a half of one because this medication can be addicting. I noticed these effects and feelings right after my first intake. It does indeed help suppress my anxiety and panic attacks. Due to the addiction prone aspects I'm giving it an 8."


"I paid $250 for the brand name after having tried the generic 3 months ago with horrible results. Started at 5 mg; immediate increase in anxiety. Bad dreams, insomnia, diarrhea. Doctor said to go up to 10 mg after one week; could not focus, could not eat, intense agitation, uncontrollable crying, crazy thoughts. Anxiety hit the roof- couldn't leave then house. Saw a pychologist/ next a psychiatrist- immediately stopped the lexapro and within 24 hours felt 90% better.  This drug is not for all. Sexual side effects and weight gain are high for most.  Do your homework."


"I'm not sure if I would recommend this birth control before others to someone else, but it worked great for me for seven plus years. Mind you, I was told by my endocrinologist that my GP should have never allowed me to stay on this bc because of the side effects of losing bone density mass - because of this I now have osteopenia at age 29. Why rate it an 8? Because other then this (which I am now "fixing" with weight lifting and calcium/mag supps) I never had any issues with the depo. I didn't have to remember a pill and had no side effects from it. Because of this, I would recommend it. I took it for convenience but my bone density suffered because of it."


"Miralax was a lifesaver for me. I was nearly hospitalized because constipation had caused aspiration pneumonitis and greatly worsened my GERD and asthma. I was losing weight, though I was already underweight, because I couldn't eat many meals, and I was also having chronic moderate/severe abdominal pain. The miralax worked amazingly for me, although it took some time (a week, 2 capfuls 2x daily, though now I do 2 once a day).

My brother experienced problems with it though. He started with 1 capful and was vomiting all night. However, he went to ½ capful and slowly titrated up to 2, and now PRN

Overall: Highly effective, but variable side effect profile.

Insurance only covered bc I was taking such large doses, otherwise they will not."


"I've had the implant for a little over 6 months now and I've had maybe 2 periods. Both extremely light which was nice. I've noticed after getting the implant I've felt more depressed, anxious, nauseous, and have been having huge headaches that don't seem to go away for days at a time. Getting the implant wasn't difficult at all. It's inserted with a needle and it was so fast I barely felt anything. My arm was sore for a little bit and some bruising but other than I felt little to no pain. A week or so after I started feeling less motivated to get anything done. Leaving the house would just give me anxiety. Also being a new mom it made it harder to keep up with my baby."


"Just started taking 5 mg twice a day. Doesn't seem to last as long as the doctor said it would. Also the 5mg doesn't take the pain away. It does ease it a little. So on my next visit I will tell the doctor her calculation was off. Think I would do better on 20mg twice daily. Also if she could give me something else to advance my stool and make it softer. That pain is worse than the knee pain."


"I started the depo a little over 2 years ago but took my last shot in August. Since then I have had normal periods but some times have heavy periods in between my periods so I'm almost bleeding a month and a half . I have had horrible mood swings, & horrible cramps. It was great while I was on it, I even lost 50lbs while on it.. But this sucks."


"This is a wonderful drug. It takes the pain away within a few minutes and even if the migraine doesn't go away altogether, the pain isn't as bad as it would be or could be, without some form of medication. Believe me I've tried them all. I am now on Topamax 50mg twice a day, Fioricet and Midrin. "


"I suffer from Major depression and panic and anxiety I have been in all the mess out there nothing has worked after feeling dangerously suicidal my doctor gave me some  samples I felt the difference immediately more calmer able to deal but still very depressed this is on day 6 of Brintellix 10mg but reading all these reviews make me hopeful that good will out weigh the bad side effects 1-2 days headaches 3-6 nausea no appetite so we will see I have insomnia so I take a half of Ativan 1 mg and sleep and wake up rested so far so good god bless you all"


"Have taken Multaq 10 months. Still have about 14 missed beats a minute. Some weakness."


"I got diagnosed and prescribed 2 Azithromycin 500mg each took them both then my stomach felt a little off but nothing bad then I read these comments started to get nervous but fell sleep right after , great nights rest and 1 trip to the bathroom on the morning was fine with me I also ate 30 min before the medication and had some fruit right after not bad at all."


"I was prescribed Provera for 10 days at 6pm every day.  I have had no period since my early 20's and then it was only on meds.  I have long history of hormonal problems and have been diagnosed with Amenohrrea as many of you, and I have been in and out of IVF specialist clinics while they all tried to sell me theirs since and no one would actually help or give hope to concieve but they were all quick to  say that I had premature Ovarian failure however, I never gave up and found a Dr. a fertility specialist and although I am over weight, have been found to have thyroid issues, and have a thin endometrium with high I repeat high levels of Estrogen. I was prescribed this little pill aka Provera.  So ladies do not loose hope, ask God & trust!"


"I recently switched from Celebrex to Arthroc.  Although my stomach has been very upset most days, the pain in my shoulders, hips and knee has been greatly reduced.  Also, I have gained considerable mobility in the range of motion in my leg/knee."


"I've had Nexplanon for less than a month and I already HATE it!! First off I've had headaches and even migraines since I got it put in (which I NEVER get.) My period has been on for 2 weeks straight right now and my period use to be 4 days long. I've become more grouchy and moody than I've ever been. Literally every little thing irritates me. This is the first time I've ever been on BC and I probably won't go back to it. I'm definitely getting this removed."


"I all ways get cold sores. I tried everything and nothing worked better then this. And the cold sores don't come as frequent after using zovirax.  Gone within 2-3days if you catch while it's tingling it wouldn't show at all"


"The very first night I started Requip, I vomited violently all night."


"Holy moly. I am 4 weeks into this medication and I feel horrid! My doc told me to stick with it. First week I vomited and felt like I had the flu for 4 days. The second injection was just a little motion sickness. The third injection I had horrible diarrhea and non stop vomiting. I just don't know how much more I can take. My blood sugars have been perfect though. I just can't deal with all the vomiting."


"Can't say this med is helping after about 6 weeks. On 2mg daily, went off my Effexor XR I was on for over 10 years. I take 200mg Trazadone at bedtime and have for years and always slept fine. Nothing has helped the Schizo or major depression in all my adult life. This Rexulti? I have not slept one night since starting it! I go to sleep, then wake up in like an hour or two and am wide awake until my alarm clock goes off in the morning. What scares me is that I am like a zombie. A very tired zombie. Ugh"


"My neurologist gave me this medication and it is a miracle pill. I take it with omeprazol and Zantac ranitidine, no problems. My diabetic neuropathy and back pain from nerve inpingement is gone, I also had epidural back injections and I'm back to doing things.

These two doctor's did a miracle for me.please don't be afraid to try this drug. Also, epidural nerve blocks. Greatest thing. Good luck!! Wish everyone wellness and pain relief.

God Bless!!!"


"I have been on Ambien for about 8 months but I had started to become tolerant to it.  Sometimes I would take it and it would knock me out other times I can take it and still be wide awake until 4am.  My doctor recommended that I try Ambien CR but my insurance won't approve it until I've tried Lunesta.  WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!  It literally had no effect on me whatsoever.  Tylenol PM would have done a better job!  I followed the instructions to the tee, didn't eat a fatty meal and took it on an empty stomach.  Has anyone else had this result?  I need to switch back to Ambien!"


"Everyone reacts to BC differently. Switched to Nexplanon after being on a combination pill for a year. Switched because I was bad at taking the pill on time every day and I had some side effects that I didn't like. No complaints since! Eventually my periods become more irregular and stopped. Had my first period in a few months a few weeks ago and some spotting recently. Cramps seem worse but nothing unbearable. No other side effects noticed really. Sometimes my arm hurts where it's inserted but it's not a huge deal. Works great! I love it! If I stay on BC after the 3 years I'll probably get Nexplanon again."


"I have suffered from acne for 10 years (currently 25). I have cystic type acne, lots of blackheads and oily skin. I have been to multiple dermatologists throughout the years and tried countless products, both OTC and prescription. I have had amazing results with my current regimen which includes doxycycline, Aczone topical gel applied at night and Panoxyl face wash (OTC). The doxycycline made a difference right away! I still got maybe 1 cystic type zit a month for the first 3 months and now basically not at all. The Aczone and Panoxyl help combat the blackheads and tiny zits the antibiotics doesn't. The biggest downfall is the nausea. I highly recommended this for those with cystic acne and be sure to take after meals. I am happy to finally be acne free!"


"I got Skylah and it was horribly painful. Worst cramps of my life, when I left the office, I stayed in my car for twenty minutes because I was incapable to drive as my legs were numb from the pain. But it was so, so, so worth it. As a commuting student it was such a pain remembering to take my pill and the nuvaring gave me migraines. I'm still spotting but IM NOT PREGNANT, so I'm cool with it. I feel like Skylah is fool proof and I can trust it a lot more than any other type of birth control. It's the only birth control method I've ever felt comfortable using sans condoms. The money I've saved from not buying Trojans every week is worth any twenty dollar co-pay."


"This drug is not listed for the cancer symptom of not eating and should be. It saved my family members life."


"I like this birth control because I don't have to take it daily. Only side effects are I gained 15 pounds but I wanted to do that's probably why I gained so much. I'm nauseous a lot. I can put up with these ... overall I like it."


"I'm 18 years old, my period was irregular and I'm sexually active, so i decided to start the pill. I  just started this birth control (first bc ever tried), the first 3 days when i was on this bc i got the worst headaches. Then I started to feel depressed and was tired all the time. Within the first week of taking the pill, I got my period, and I got the worst cramps ever - more worse than before i was using any contraceptive; tingling/numbness in legs, severe cramps, nausea. But now i don't feel depressed anymore and I don't get terrible headaches. My breasts feel a little fuller than normal-"normal" as in before I started using any contraceptive. I'm on my second week of taking the pill, so we'll see how it goes."


"I started taking this to prevent pregnancy and so far, it has been awful. Although I'm not pregnant, it has given me EXTREME mood swings. One minute I'm fine and the next I'm crying my eyes out for no reason and I get irritated very easily. I was on my period for nearly 2 1/2 weeks when I first started it. My sex drive has increased a significant amount. I used to have sex maybe twice a week with my boyfriend but when I got on the birth control I was constantly wanting to have sex. My acne has decreased slightly, not much. My boobs have not grown at all. I have experienced a huge amount of weight gain- 15 pounds in a month. It's honestly been so awful taking this pill. The only good thing is I'm not pregnant."


"Good medicine. Blood tests are annoying. I wet the bed a couple nights a week on this med because it knocked me out. It takes a while to get used to but it's overall not that bad of a med. Works well for mania."


"My Experience:
I was extremely constipated for about 5 days, I felt the urge to go but I just couldn't. I took ONE tablet of the Dulcolax for Women around 6:30pm with a full glass of water and I continued to drink about 40-50oz of water until bedtime (I drink about 80oz of water daily so I drank about 40 extra oz that day). I didn't get the sweats, nausea or cramping that night and it didn't wake me up in the middle of the night. I woke up at 6am and I did get SOME cramping, it felt the same as trapped gas pain but nothing overly unbearable. I  had a bowel movement after about 20 mins and I felt GREAT. I had loose stool afterwards but no pain or cramping. I avoided starch and breads for the day - for extra measure. I loved this product!"


"After two bunion and hammertoe surgeries this worked like a charm! Much better than Percocet because I wasn't loopy and it does not cause stomach upset!"


"I've only been on this birth control for a few weeks and I am experiencing crazy anxiety and EXTREME dizziness!! It's so scary at times.  I just had a baby two months ago and can't risk another pregnancy right now so don't know what to do.  Not to mention I've been bleeding for two weeks straight with crazy heavy cramps."


"My grandson is not as restless, and is more lovable now that he is not taking the Vyvanse medicine he was on. "


"I was on 150 MG efexor for nearly a year and continued suffering with depression and anxiety. It affected my libido to the point that I couldn't stand being touched by my husband. I've been on wellbutrin for nearly three weeks and it's been a miracle for me. My energy level is up, I can focus again, and my libido has increased. The only negative I have had is it doesn't help my anxiety."


"Does not open lungs and does not assist when needed."


"I started taking Inderal to help with migraines. I still get headaches almost daily but they aren't migraine-quality and can be managed with Ibuprofen. Negatives: sleep disturbances, feet are ALWAYS freezing, and I'm experiencing frequent orthostatic hypotension. I had normal-to-low BP when starting this med so I don't think it's the right med for my body, since it lowers BP. I like not having migraines but can't exercise or live life if I'm always dizzy and weak."


"Been on Doxy for a severe sinus infection I got in early October. Got it on Monday,  took it, felt kinda achey nothing too serious.  It's now Friday. I've been out of work since Wed, migraine, throwing up, fever, chills, horrible aches and pains.
I've never felt so bad on an antiobiotic. Stopping today & calling the doctor."


"I am 64 and have been diagnosed with a bipolar disorder by some mental health clinicians and a schizo-affective disorder by others.  Off and on I have had auditory hallucinations which for the last couple of months have been constant. I was hospitalized for a week and switched from Zyprexa to Geodon.  I noticed a difference within the first 24 hours.  Now, I am back home and have no hallucinations. Miraculous!  I stop and listen for the hallucinations, but they simply are not there.  It will take a while for me to "trust" the medication, but nothing has worked so well without severe side effects. So far, I am delighted."
