"I am 45 years old and have taken birth control pills from the time I was 18 to 34 when my husband and I decided to start a family. For 11 years my cycles were always 26-28 days, the reason I went back on the pill was due to painful menstrual cramps and not to get pregnant. Since I have been on this pill I had immediate break through bleeding, it's lasted for 3 months. It's actually gotten worse I bleed everyday! I have also suffered from migraines and headaches daily in the 3rd month. My breast are huge and my weight is creeping up. I feel depressed and have no sex drive. I hate this pill! I took my last pill today. I rather have two painful days of menstrual cramps. I will never take this pill ever!!!!!"


"I have been taking Viibryd for years now. It was extremely successful at taking away suicidal depression and and a extreme social anxiety, due to mild aspergers. It also gave me a tremendous amount of energy. After a good amount of time with 40mg a day dose, I started experiencing side effects. The first side effect was upset stomach, with diarrhea. Next I started noticing mental exhaustion, and slight dry mouth. Then the side effects went to severe  Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ) issues, and tension headaches, sometimes accompanied by neck region night sweats.  Then my doctor and I decided to cut the Viibryd down to 20 mg a day. I have been on the 20 mg for a while now, the TMJ is gone, all other side effects have been reduced. Over all happy still."


"Re: lost_found1982
Stick to your guns - You know your body better than everyone else!

Less than 2 years ago I was in hospital with a very serious illness which needed to be attended to first before I was able to start Atripla. The period between Christmas & New Year 2012 included a positive result to a HIV test (as a Christmas present) and a CD4 count of 13 as the surprise in the box - Seriously!

It would not be until late March last year when I took my first tablet and have never looked back & currently have a count of 484. I took charge of my body in conjunction with 2 GP's, a specialist and a clinical Psychologist to get me through many hurdles, heartbreaks & trusted friends.

I'm back at working outdoors & enjoying the gift!"


"I got every side effect I think you could get.  I had blurred vision, dizziness, nausea, I got more anxiety, it was just awful. I was put on it for fibromyalgia and I had to stop taking it after 3 days due to the above side effects.  My Doctor is going to try me on something else in about a week, but even he doesn't appear to be hopeful.  If none of these work, it is back to pain management for me."


"Worst time with this medication. Nightmares, sleep walking, severe headaches, vomiting, didn't help me sleep at all, I would wake up and sleep walk into different rooms knowing I was sleep walking but so disoriented I had no idea where I was.  On night I walked to a storage building and stripped and fell breaking my arm. I was there until the next morning because I couldn't get up and didn't have a cell phone. My father had tried calling but with no answer he finally drove up and eventually found me... I hated the hangover effect.... I hope others benefit from it."


"I've been using this for three years and it helps me. I've paid attention more at school. I've had no side effects at all, but all medications may have different effects on other people."


"I have depression. Prozac did not help me. After 4 weeks and several side effects, the only positive experience was the fact that I didn't feel anything "bad" or "good". The worst was the major lack of motivation and loss of all interest in what I enjoyed in life. That was kind of the problem before the medicine. This is my second day off Prozac and I feel better each day. Good luck all."


"I just finished last pill ( metronidazole) tonight.. dr. Put me on them twice a day for 10 days. My symptoms slowly begin 2 improve around day 6 or 7. I was feeling discouraged  but tonight day 10 I feel great. I suffer from recurring yeast infections as well and tonight is the first night i feel 100% symptom free! From everything but I really hope it last... and i can go back 2 normal ."

"I have peripheral neuropathy and it seems to help some. Leg still goes numb, but not as bad as it used to."


"Helped in the beginning of the first few weeks,but later my mood became more paranoid. I'm not saying this medicine will make you paranoid, but it doesn't work for me. Plus it does make you gain weight like 40lbs. in 8 weeks."


"I recently was admitted to a Psych Ward for a suicide ideation/attempt. I've previously been diagnosed with ADHD and Borderline Personality Disorder. I was taking 70mg Vyvanse 1x a day, 300mg Wellbutrin XR 1x a day in the morning and 20mg of Paxil 1x before bed . The psychiatrist in the hospital discontinued the Paxil and prescribed 100mg Luvox 2x a day and 50mg Seroquel before bed. I've been taking the medication for 9 days. I wake up tired and feel tired the whole day. I also feel jittery but that could be because I drink caffeinated beverages to help stay awake. My Hope is these effects wear off."


"Been on Qsymia for 1 month. Although I did loose 5 lbs, it came with very bad side effects. Bad headaches, insomnia, and numbness throughout body."


"Developed epilepsy due to several strokes while fighting sepsis/septic shock about 4 years ago. I am in the middle of weaning off Keppra and moving to lamictal. While I was seizure free on Keppra, the Kepprage, depression, and suicidal thoughts made me think it might be better to take my chances with seizures..hopefully the lamictal will be effective. I also with there was more science behind cannabis, and I lived in a state that allows medical cannabis.  CBD seems like an option to supplement the conventional medications, but I can't say I complain about the occasional "buzz" via full spectrum cannabis."


"Just about two weeks ago my boyfriend and I had sex and we realized that there was an accidental outcome inside the condom, which wasn't torn or anything, we just wanted extra reassurance (We are both too young for me to become pregnant). The morning after, we drove to CVS and he picked up Aftera since there was no plan B so it was the next best option. I took it about 12 hours after sex, and for a week and a half after I had a few symptoms including dizziness, nausea, etc. Fast forward today, I started my period almost a week early, but at least I know now that it worked. The symptoms from the Aftera pill I did not like at all, but it was better than having a higher risk of pregnancy. Take this pill ASAP and breathe, it'll be okay xx"


"Here, Europe slashed maximum melatonin levels from 5mg per day to 1mg and it's really enough. I'm totally reborn"


"3 years after being diagnosed with Bipolar 1, I was put on 2 mg of Rivotril to be taken at night following a car accident. When it was prescribed, I was in a poor state of mental health and was suffering from extreme agitation and horrible nightmares. After taking clonazepam for a while, I noticed that not only did it calm agitation, but it helped stabilize my mood. It has made my mood more consistent and improved it dramatically. I consistently feel calm, positive, and mentally stable. I've been prescribed other benzodiazepines in the past, but clonazepam has by far been the most effective. Overall, an excellent medication also considering that it isn't subject to metabolite accumulation."


"I have Multiple Sclerosis and have a problem with my bladder fully emptying.  Any amount of urine that Is left in my bladder, makes it seem like I haven't even gone to the bathroom. Bethanechol makes it so my bladder fully empties and I don't have those feelings."


"It killed my beloved mother in July 2014 she was suddenly rushed by ambulance early morning hours. She had several ischemia strokes and had  uncontrollable bleeding after surgery she died to taking xarelto. Now I've been turned down by lawyers because the death report said she died from C.O.P.D. and trying to find another law firm who will take my case the end results are death from this bad drug"


"I. Have had back pain for years now.   About a month ago my doctor gave me melodic am 15 mg.   by the end of the month I was feeling very weak and in pain.   I was having pain in the middle of my stomach and the. It subsided.   A week later I experienced weakness and feeling like I was going to pass out.  When I told my doctor he said he did. It know why I was feeli this way.   The same day I developed diarrhea and it was black this continued to the next day.   I called for an appointment because I was feeling worst.   I was admitted to the hospital and I was told I was bleeding and ihave three ulcers.  Two gastric and one peptic and every doctor said it came from the meloxicam. It was destroying my stomach.   I will never use it again."


"Product partially effective but major gastrointestinal problems were just too much to deal with for the marginal relief I was getting for my AF."


"I didn't notice any physical changes & I wasn't any moodier. I'd never gotten a yeast infection & never got cramps & that all continued to not happen. My periods were actually more regular and slightly lighter. Being on the patch was, for the most part, uneventful.

My only con is that it invariably caused vaginal dryness. Prior to using this, I didn't have problems with arousal or lubrication (I'm in my mid-20s). With this, I immediately noticed that I felt pain and stinging in my vagina after sex. This sometimes caused me to lose interest in sex in anticipation of the pain. Lube definitely helped but even just a couple of months off the patch (IUD now), I'm back to my normal self. Aside from that, I would recommend this"


"Works great to prevent migraines."


"I was 7 weeks in as of today and had to stop immediately today.  This drug did begin to help my psoriasis and it began to resolve, I was really happy.  Anyone taking this needs to have someone watch them and their behavior.  My mood and behavior changed dramatically.  I got through the initial nausea and pushed through hoping the headaches would resolve.  But then it got worse.  I am generally happy.  My interactions with people began to go sour slowly, and in spats; I would  get way too worked up over things.  6-7 weeks in and I became very irritable and depressed.  Heaving sobs, feeling hopeless, flying off the handle and bizarre things.  It was gradual so I was confused. Felt like I was another person in my own body.  Feel better already"


"The first 2 weeks were kind of difficult for me.  Lots of side effects and very little results.  Hot/cold flashes, lethargy, tiredness, dizziness, sexual dysfunction and so on.  After a month, the effects of clomipramine started to really kick in.

It was effective against depression. Instead of going to bed every night hating myself and want to die, that only happened once a week.   It reduced some (not all) of my OCD, particularly my obsessions.

On the downside, it effectively made me bipolar.  At one moment, I felt like Jesus.  The other I was severely suicidal.  I always had mania and depression, but not to this extent.  Had to go off it.

Lots of pros.  Lots of cons.  It works.  But will it work for you?"


"I never really review anything, but I have to for this because I know how stressed out I was and reading the reviews on here helped me so much and honestly allowed me to have hope. I had sex at 1:00am with my friend and without a condom and I wasn't on b.c either (stupid I know). He didn't finish in me, but I was still so scared because I knew about precum. I took the plan b pill ten hours later and began having all the pregnancy symptoms like bloating, tender breasts, nausea, and felt so tired all the time. I honestly felt hopeless. but, I woke up today and I went to the bathroom to pee and there it was. bright red blood (-: never have I been so happy to have my period, that to on Valentine's Day! let the pill do its job ladies!! (:"


"I HATE THIS BIRTH CONTROL. First month if taking it and my face completely broke out like I've never broken out before. My depression and anxiety was off the charts, also I had low sex drive. I was not happy with this. Don't take this BC you'll regret it!"


"I have been on Otezla since February.  My insurance would not cover it so I am part of the company's bridge program.  My psoriasis is completely gone--I haven't had normal, clear skin since I was a baby and I am 36.  I finally can wear shorts and tank tops without being self-conscious that my scaly, red skin is ugly and people are looking at it.  When I first started the medication I did have some bad headaches and nausea.  It went away after a few weeks, if you just stick with it.  I recently went away and forgot to bring the Otezla with me so I didn't take it for about 5 days, and now that I am back on it, I have headaches and nausea again but I anticipate that they will subside like they did before.  I haven't had any other side effects."


"This is the only drug that works for me yet the Australian government has banned it!"


"Rozerem has little or no effect. Woke up several times on Rozerem, took one 4 hours ago and am up and not even drowsy."


"I love taking this pill. Set an alarm (or two) on my phone and I almost always can remember to take it. I've tried the Nuva Ring and the shot and both did NOT work well. Nuva ring gave my panic attacks and the shot gave me a nonstop period for three months. This pill was perfect, lighten and shorten my period each month. I've been taking it for a year with no side effects. It's a little costly but it's worth it for me."


"It's always a test of one person. Everyone will have anti-depressants that work best for them. I tried Lexapro and Wellbutrin. I hated Wellbutrin. Prozac gave me ZERO side effects. No sexual frustration, no irritability, and no insomnia. I'm on my 6th month and just got bumped from 20mg to 40mg because of seasonal depression and feel a HUGE deal better. I've lost 10lbs in 3 weeks because my appetite and drinking are also under control. I've also heard Prozac is associated with weight loss. If something isn't working for you, give it a try. "


"I have taken trulicity for four weeks now. At first had bad side affects. Headache, nausea, diarrhea with terrible cramping. But each week it lessened. Now into fifth week. Doing much better. Still have no real appetite, have to remind myself to eat. But my blood sugars are down! That was my main objective. Haven't lost any weight, though. But still glad that I hung in there and got through the adjustment period."


"After a horrible two years on Prozac Pristiq came in like a saviour. It reminded me what my normal thought process was without depression. I started on 50mg and 3 months in upped it to 100 and most of the time it's great however like everything tis not perfect. I have good days and bad days. I often have a few weeks of good days and when it's bad it's really bad; no motivation, suicidal, depressed, anxious. I also notice that if I miss a day or two I go through major withdrawal and that leads to similar symptoms as a bad day. Overall it really did change my life but it's not perfect."


"I took it before going to bed 11pm and woke up around 3am with excruitiang back pain and stomach pain. I was literally on the floor breathing like I was in active labor. The pain was getting worse by the second and then I started sweating so badly that my pj's and hair were literally soaked and it was dripping off of my face and chest. I couldn't tell if I was going to throw up, poop or if I was having a legit heartattack. I couldn't even yell for help to my sleeping husband because I was in so much pain. I was honestly scared at this point because I've taken Exlax and never had this sort of reaction. I started to push and massage my abdomen which helped alleviate a little bit of the pain/cramping that I was having."


"Xanax is a wonder drug. It's effects are felt quickly, but doesn't have a long half life. I am on 5 x 2mg's a day for Panic Disorder and Anxiety. I also take Methadone 80mg's when I wake up. I never take Xanax at the same time. I always wait at least 2 hours. I don't drink alcohol. I'm also on 400mg's of Seroquel at bedtime and 60mg's of Restoril. I have been on these medicines for about ten years. Methadone has a bad rep. If you want a fast acting anti-anxiety/panic disorder medicine, Xanax is it. If you have insomnia, Seroquel and Restoril (in the benzodiazapine family) are good as well. Hope this helps."


"My doctor has put me on Imuran for about three weeks now and I am starting to feel some side effects such as weakness, body aches and breakouts all over my body.  So far not so good with the treatment.  I will be calling my doctor for sure."


"I've had the Implanon in for about a month and a half now. I haven't got my period at all just some spotting for like a day but that is it. I have experienced some weight gain, but no acne. Random mood swings sometimes. Nothing really out of the ordinary besides missing my period. Everyone has different reactions to the amount of hormones released into your system. I would definitely recommend this form of birth control."


"I suffer from insomnia derived from an anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder. I have taken trazodone 50mg for sleep for 10 days. The first night, I slept for 13 hours straight. I was extremely fatigued throughout the day for the first 4-5 days on this drug, but I was sleeping through the night for the first time in months, so that side effect was worth it to me. Last night, I took the 50mg tablet, laid down to sleep, and woke up refreshed 9 hours later. No fatigue today whatsoever. This is the first time in a very long time that I woke up feeling well rested and (dare I say it) almost cheerful. Take it a good hour before you want to be asleep in order to avoid tossing and turning at first."


"After Meloxicam stopped being effective for my DDD back pain my doctor prescribed Tramadol.

I did feel a little nauseous after taking the first 50MG tablet, but the quick pain relief and reduction in muscle tension was dramatic. The next day I noticed my thoracic back was flexing as I bent over in the shower, the first time in years. It seems to have broken the vicious cycle of pain causing muscle tension and muscle tension causing pain.  My mental state has improved as well, due to being out of pain no doubt.

My sleep is much improved.

I have not experienced nausea taking Tramadol again.

I read here about dependence and withdrawal. so I will reduce my dosage to one 50mg tablet every other day and stop prior to being on it for a week"


"This pill lightened my period but I began to experience sore back, sore breasts, constant hunger and always felt tired. I gained 45 pounds since I started taking the pill but my diet remained. I stopped taking the pill and instantly lost weight! I've been off the pill for a month and I've already lost 15 pounds."


"I take opiate pain relievers, but if I do some walking, I usually don't have a problem.  When I stay in the house too long I get constipated pretty badly. It's been about 8 months since I've taken any Sennakot, so, I figured it would work. The ones I'm taking are 8.6mg and I've found in the past that if I only take 2 or 3, nothing happens. I found that I need 5 or 6. Sometimes I would get some bad stomach pain, but it was a small price to pay to get some relief.Twice this week I've taken 6 before bed (8am), but nothing happened. The second time while getting up to use the bathroom, I felt it working and went back to sleep, but when I got up an hour later, nothing. Anybody else have this happen?  Maybe I sleep past my opportunity."


"I lost my wife to cancer three years ago. Recently I have found a new partner, who is even more interested in sex than myself. I am 80 years old and my partner 82. I have found it increasingly difficult to get an erection and when one does occur difficult to retain. I have scoured the net for an answer to my problem, trying numerous products with no success. But at last Cialis has answered our prayers. I take Cialis 10mg and the effect lasts for at least 36 hours. Rock hard erections that last as long as required, I feel like a "real man" once again. My partner and I are a pair of very, very happy "golden oldies"."


"I wanted to share my experience with Plan B since I know many of you are reading these reviews scared, anxious, and grasping for something to calm you down. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend using the pull out method, but it was the day before my ovulation day (according to the Period Tracker App), and I was terrified of the possibility of pre-ejaculation. I also had egg-white discharge, so I knew I was fertile. I took Plan B within twelve hours of unprotected sex, and had about a two week wait until my next period. I woke up very nauseous the next day. For about a week after, I had really bad cramps, and thick, white discharge. This morning, I got my period on time! It works! Stay calm, ladies! You can get through this, I promise!"


"I have been on Belviq for 2 weeks now. The only side effect I have had is a few hours of dry mouth on the first day. No other side effects since. I am now eating much less than normal and am not hungry. It works great at making you not want to eat. I have lost 4 lbs and am not even trying. Great medicine for those who can't lose weight on their own!"


"CLOBEX IS AMAZING.  It doesn't cure psoriasis but it will clear you up.  My scalp is bad.  within a week I was completely clear.  I could go 2 weeks before it started to appear back on scalp.  I use the spray for a few days and it was gone....Problem now is there is a generic so my insurance will not pay for the brand.  The cost of brand out of pocket is 900.00.  Who has that kind of money?  the generic does absolutely nothing for me.  No relief what so ever.  The entire insurance industry is such a crock in the USA."


"I have had acne for about 4 years now and I started bactrim about 2 years ago when I first started my skin looked amazing I was almost cleared up in a month. after about a year of being on it and my skin was doing well we went down to half a pill. about 6 months pasted and my skin started to break out again so we went back to a whole pill. my acne started to spread all over my chest, back and shoulders he decided that we would start 2 pills a day. I recently just went back and my skin was not doing well and I'm about to start accutane. I 100% believe I formed a resistance to the drug after being on it for so long. bactrim works amazing for short periods of time but in the long run it was not successful."


"I have been taking Sprintec for a little over a month now and I have little side effects. I was very worried about a change in my behavior and that I may gain weight but I have yet to experience those side effects so I am very happy with that. I did get one yeast infection, which I have never had before, about 2 weeks after starting the pill but besides that everything is working very well with this pill!"


"My doctor advised taking Dramamine after he gave me medicine to treat my problems - not motion sickness - and I experienced nausea and some vomiting from the medicine. I had tried various things that just seemed to make it worse but this helps. Now I can take the medicine I need and still be comfortable."


"I only started this yesterday and today I already can feel that things are easier to deal with!! I'm looking forward to feeling somewhat normal."


"I love the Implanon, 100% effective. I get no periods. The only downhill is that in the 2 years I've being using it I gained at least 45 pounds which sucks because I tried everything to lose the weight but nothing seems to work for me. I have my appointment for removal on the 31st of December. "


"I find the copper coil amazing. It is uncomfortable being inserted and painful for about a week afterwards. The next 3 periods were very painful and heavy for me but I'm now on my 4th and it seems to of settled. It is very effective as contraception and neither of us can feel it during sex. Best of luck, definitely recommended."


"I recently lost 45lbs through diet and exercise in a 4 mo. period.  I cut out all the sweets (which was extremely hard) and started drinking only water, unsweetened tea and sparkling water.  I would have a mini-cheat day on Sundays and allow myself a burger or a slice of cheesecake.  However, the weight has slowly started to creep back on - with my travel schedule, I have been going to the gym less (was 5x a week) and eating later at night.  My doctor prescribed Contrave and I have been taking it for 5 days.  I read the reviews and how it cause a lot of people to be nauseous. So I take it in the morning around 6:30 am with a low-fat Greek yogurt and 4 saltine crackers.  It works for me and I only feel a little dizzy at times - not major for me!"


"I have been on this medicine for 8 months now.  I am currently taking 75mcg daily.  I no longer wake up feeling tired and my hair is coming back thicker again.  I have also lost some weight too."


"if there is any advice you can take from the internet right now, it's to calm down ladies!! I promised I'd write a review here to settle nervous tummies on my experience, since I was you at one point. I had unprotected sex on day 5 (yes on my period) of my normal 28 day cycle at approximately 9am. I am grateful plan b was available behind the counter at pharmacy and I purchased it less than an hour after the oopsie. here started the waiting game and bizarre side affects such as nausea and fatigue for almost two months. I was 2 weeks late. also, if this helps, I am 50 POUNDS PASSED THE WEIGHT CAPACITY (165lbs) AND IT WORKED!!! :) good luck ladies :) you have nothing to worry about. it works!!"


"It's the only medication that works for my hemorrhoid flare up. "


"Took lutera for 5 months, probably my worst birth control experience.

Pros: Not Pregnant! So, at least that part worked.

Cons: my face EXPLODED in acne. Other kinds I've tried controlled the acne very well, but this seemed to make my skin turn into a minefield of sore, red, under-the-skin pimples. I've been off it for almost 2 months and my face is much better. Also, had terrible mood swings. I even hit my boyfriend with a shoe :( I've felt much better and much more like myself since then. It gave me this strange, clear discharge all the tim too, that is all gone now."


"Thank you for inventing this drug!!!! I was in so much pain, I truly wanted to end my life, until my doctor finally prescribed this! I have a whole new lease on life now. My only worry is, he's worried he will have to take me off it soon because his clinic doesn't want to be in bad standing for prescribing it. That would be just awful if he stops my prescription."


"I'm on day 2 of Portia-28 pack, started my period Saturday and my gynecologist told me to start the pill on Sunday, I couldn't get to pharmacy so I started on Monday. Since day 1 I have noticed a change in my period already it immediately lightened it up, usually my periods are heavy the first 2-3 days. I am also sporting a Kotex super plus or super, now I don't need a tampon and when I took my regular tampon out after it being in all day the blood was brown. I also have noticed my sex drive has spiked and so far no nasty side effects such as nausea or breast tenderness. I am sure as much as it has already shortened my period I won't be spotting throughout the month. I hope it stays this great for me for as long as I take it :)"


"Works well but is insanely expensive.

"


"I took Pristiq for one day. It was the most distressing experience ever. For about 48 hours, had blurry vision, jumpy eyes, dizziness, sweating, and kept changing moods every 5 minutes. First was crying, then felt high and was starring into space. Have taken Lexapro before and never felt anything remotely close to this horrible. This medicine was not for me."


"Worked for a short amount of time when use with Retin-A"


"After having major oral surgery I was given this and I was skeptical about this medicine, I had never heard of it before but it really helped with the pain. I later found out it was the same as Percocet, which I was familiar with."


"It helps me a lot."


"I've been told that due to my type of birth control if I am a little late taking it, as long as it's same day it would still be effective. Well I've had a bit of a time adjusting to it but it was still somewhat predictable (If I don't take it exactly the same time I spot). Well I didn't spot which was odd and made me paranoid. My ovary hurt a week after spotting (sign of being fertile/ovulating). So I took Aftera. The cramps hurt for a few days and possible UTI so I drank a whole lot of water and tea. Overall I didn't feel much different than when I had cramps before birth control.

TLDR (Too long; didn't read): Not pregnant. Aftera did it's job I believe. Changing my b.c. time so I can remember it easier."


"I use to get Toradol I.M injections for cyclic vomiting syndrome. My stomach pain becomes very severe at times and Toradol 1ml injection is the only thing that will stop the pain when I'm having an episode."


"My 19 yr old daughter was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis this past year...her inflammation markers were off the charts. She took meloxicam for a couple of months, but it really hurt her stomach to where she couldn't eat. They put her on Plaquenil about 6 months ago...she is doing great. Recently had blood work and her inflammation is almost all gone...no side effects for her. I hope this medicine can help other people."


"Great for short time use"


"Anxiety has been crazy since moving cities and hard finding work. I can't calm down. Started lexapro or the generic brand  at 10mg a day. Had orgasm problems first like 4-5 days hard to urinate. Mild head ache. And vivid dreams. But I stuck it out after two weeks side effect mostly went away and doctor instructed to up it to 20mg a day and now I honestly feel no extra side effects most have all gone away already by week 3. I feel a little better about being able to control my anxiety and intrusive thoughts. But still feel kinda depressed and anti social. I'm gonna keep trying tho. Its helped the anxiety already so I think it'll take longer for everything to settle in. I take it at night cause it makes it sleepy. Wake up fine the next day."


"This is my first 24 hours of having it on. At first I was really shaky, I now feel sick to my stomach. I've thrown up and I feel really weak. I had bad experiences with other birth controls. Doctor told me not to take it off, what do I do..?"


"Constant nausea, stomach pain, some vomiting."


"I have suffered with some depression but mostly anxiety for the past 15 years. I have taken Celexa and then Lexapro off and on (mainly on) for most of those years. While the Lexapro helps some, I still always had difficulty with my energy levels and with coping during really stressful situations. I was recently tested for MTHFR gene mutation, and was found to have the 1298c mutation, which can affect my brain's ability to utilize folate in order to make needed serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. My doctor prescribed Deplin (l-methylfolate), and even though I had read many good reviews, I was still hesitant. I have to say it has been a miracle for me. It's like this dark cloud has been lifted, and my anxiety has completely disappeared."


"Absolutely no side effects. I lost weight on this medication, however if you do not want to lose weight, talk to your psychiatrist and they can prescribe medications that can help you gain weight if you are underweight.

This medication worked perfectly on my depression and I have not relapsed since I was weaned off it. No sexual side effects, it actually helped my sex life I am so happy I tried it."


"Works very well to prevent symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness with no perceived side effects.  I take 125mg twice per day as recommended by the altitudemedicine.org website for high altitude hiking.  This actually speeds up the bodys acclimitization process and doesn't just treat the symptoms. Highly recommend it for staying well on high altitude pursuits."


"I take this for Periodic Limb Movement Disorder. It works but I have a hard time waking up in the morning. I tried to take it earlier in the evening and it still was hard to wake up. I don't feel like I got a good night sleep because I am groggy most of the day. I will talk to my doctor about different options. If it wasn't for this side effect, it works great for PLMD."


"I was diagnosed with severe migraines a little over a year and a half ago. I was prescribed Nortriptyline as an everyday medication and Imitrex as a "needed emergency pain reliever." The Nortriptyline doesn't always work, and since I am a teenager, I am still in school. If I get a migraine in school, I am supposed to take an Imitrex and go straight back to class. Unfortunately for me, the Imitrex makes me extremely drowsy and sometimes delirious, usually forcing me to go home and still live with the pain of migraines for at least another 12 hours, but it can still last for up to 3 days afterwards. Thankfully, the Nortriptyline works 95% of the time, but the Imitrex only works a good 75% of the time, and then I'm still put out of commission."


"Made stomach upset early on, gurgly/hunger feeling. Goes away. Severe prolonged sub-clinical hypothyroidism resulted in needing this medicine. Makes my Cytomel work. And reduced my anxiety to manageable levels. Even the little painful scab bumps I used to get on my scalp are gone.. gone! Those things were as painful as a bee sting the day after."


"I started taking Epzicom almost 2 years ago when I found out I had HIV. And my blood count has been going up and I have been feeling GREAT!"


"It works completely within 30 to 60 minutes.  However my migraines do come back the next day.  Am a little concerned about taking Cambia everyday.  Have been getting migraines daily for the last 8 days.  The meds you take daily to stop migraines make me feel like I'm wrapped in cotton and out of touch with the world. "


"I began my weight loss journey with Contrave on 4-10-2015 after being prescribed by my PCP. I went for my follow-up appointment today 4-20-2015 and I have not lost weight which is currently at 178lbs. I'm now on my 2 pills a day and it has definitely been a difference in my cravings and hunger feelings. I'm able to say no even though the foods look and smell good. However my 1st 7 days I was still hungry and craving sweets but no bad side effects thus far, other than being bloated and gassy. My doctor stated everyone doesn't initially lose weight within the first 10 days but there are some that do. I'm hoping I will see results soon trying to stay positive and continue to workout and watch my calorie intake."


"DO NOT USE. I am 18 years old with no health problems what so ever, and I've never had any health problem. I was on sprintec for 3 months and I started getting very bad headaches Daily but I didn't think anything of them because I recently have tried to cut out my caffeine. Then I started getting blurry vision. I went for an eye exam because I've always worn glasses and they sent me to a specialist. Turns out I had papilledema, which was caused by a pseudo tumor. After having a mri, ct, weekly trips to the specialist and to the neurologist, we finally found our answers. DO NOT USE!!!!!!!"


"Wow. It sure did the job.  No pregnancies because I lost my sex drive and became dry. I don't do any drugs nor smoke.  And I had mood swings that were insane.  Once, I got to the point were I couldn't go to sleep at night and went through my boyfriend's phone and accused him of cheating. So just please beware and if others are noticing symptoms, I hope they speak out because I didn't come to terms with it until I reached a scary point."


"I was prescribed Inderal to help with Primary Ortostatic Tremors. I did not get any relief with this medication for that condition. However. I discovered that whenever I stop taking Inderal, I end up with a migraine headache. I take 20 mg at bedtime. It makes me sleepy and gives me nightmares which continue to this day. However, the side effects are tolerable and well worth putting up with to prevent getting migraines. I highly recommend this medication for preventing migraines."


"Neuropathy and about 25 different side effects dealing with neuropathy that lasted over 2 years.  Stay away from this drug"


"Zoloft is a fantastic AD. It gave me motivation and helped me get back out there into my life. It didn't work that well for anxiety, but your mileage may vary. Even switching up as little as 50mg would bring back the "punch" if it "pooped out." Highly recommend."


"On day 8 taking 50mg dose and I cannot believe how effective this medication is. I was suffering from anxiety, extreme irritability & low moods for a number of months before my doctor prescribed it for me. So far the only side effect I have experienced is mild headaches, usually in the evening time. I take my dose in the morning after breakfast and I feel so much calmer, good humoured and relaxed - more like the old me. I don't sweat the small stuff anymore and feel my stress levels have dropped considerably. Fingers crossed this good feeling lasts!"


"I'm 25 and have been on depo for about 14 months and the only good thing is no periods!! But I still have cramps from time to time.... Since using depo I have been diagnosed with anxiety and outrageous depression to the point I'm on meds... I noticed alot of stomach pain, tingling in hands or feet, feeling nauseated when eating food, hair lost and weight gain. Went from size 16 to 22.. Always in a down mood and it killed my sex drive This drug is definitely not for me... Been off for 4 months now and still no sign of a period.... Hopefully it changes soon"


"I am 35 years old and have been a smoker since I was 13 quitting once due to pregnancy. I was up to a pack and a half of cigarettes a day and one day I just had enough. I talked to my doctor about chantix. I started chantix  On April 24,2015 and by day 3 I was down to about 2 cigarettes a day, mostly because they were there not because I wanted them. I lost my best friend on may 10,2015 and on the 18th  I smoked my last cigarette that morning. I haven't touched one since and I am only taking one chantix every other day. Chantix really is the miracle drug. I am concerned about the long term affects of this drug,but the only thing I have had is vivid dreams(but not bad), constipation, and the gas is horrible, but I can deal with that."


"After a short addiction to roxicodone I was steered into a methadone clinic and I tried to quit for a little over 2 years and I just couldn't do it cold turkey!  I've been on Subutex and Suboxone. They both are amazing! Saved my life!  I just wish more people were educated on this medication. I have never gotten "high" from buprenorphine. If more people knew how to obtain this treatment I'm sure they would!"


"This has been a lifesaver for me for anxiety and insomnia.  I was on Zoloft 75mg for the last 5 months and it was of little benefit.  I've only been on 7.5 mg of Remeron for 7 days but the results have been great, (still also on 75mg of Zoloft). Remeron gives me a good 8-9 hours of sleep every day, a strong appetite (I lost 25 pounds in 5 months when I began to have these problems).  My energy level is returning to normal.  90% of my anxiety is gone.  It is nothing short of a miracle.  Yes, I feel a bit groggy & dopey for an hour or two after I wake up but that is a small price to pay for me getting my life back."


"Taking for back pain in left lower disc. Works very good but I must take it by 8pm or after dinner or I wake up very sluggish the next morning (I wake up at 8:30am) and feel cloudy headed for the whole morning. I only take it when the pain is really bad."


"In April  of 2012, I was diagmosed to have GIST high grade by my Doctors. The tumor was resectable and it was removed immediately. My surgeon removed 80% of my stomach and I find it successful operation. My Oncologist prescribed Glivec (Imatinib) 100 mg x 4 tabs a day for two (2) years from August 24, 2012 to August 24, 2014.I had my PET Scan every six (6) months for the surveilance of possible tumor recurrence, PET scan was stopped in 2015 since the tumor did not recur until now.  It was hard in the first 2 months since my skin had discoloration and allergies but I beat them all. I live a happy life with my family with prayers with the Lord above. Glivec is a wonderful cancer drug but it was so expensive. GOD SPEED."


"I've been

taking 1800 mg of gabapentin for restless legs since April of this year..it has been wonderful. Plus, I get a tad drowsy..but,  alas there is a problem..weight gain..I've been on a 1200 calorie diet and I continue to gain weight...15lbs since the end of April...what to do?"


"Way too many side effects. Felt worse with this drug than I did with A Flutter and A-Fib. Dangerous med."


"74 year old male, triple bypass in 2002.  Cholesterol around 300 previous to drug therapy, now at 116.  Tried many varieties of statins, all had arthritis like side effects.  Haven't noticed the same issues with this drug, arthritic pain now only occurs after strenuous labor.  Drug is very expensive and financial help not easy to come by.  NO luck with the PAN network."


"Do NOT drink energy drinks while taking this. I could not stop moving. Besides that it does the job."


"I didn't realize how stressed I was until I'd been taking Prozac for 6 weeks and compared myself to what I was like the previous month. I'd been stressed for a really long time. Now, less stressed, I'm more focused and productive in work! I didn't think that was possible. I'm also creative again. I feel I have a chemical imbalance that needed redressed. I always thought having to take anti depressants was a sign of failure but now I realize it's just a chemical imbalance. Good luck!"


"Had terrible acne on my chin and used this product on it, it took a few weeks to work but now it works amazing and I have no zits anywhere, and if I feel one coming on I just put some on it and its gone the next day."


"I tried the Mirena due to heavy periods. I was 49 when I had it inserted. The cycle of the insertion last about 15 days. After that, my period hadn't lightened up at all. I actually had a period starting two weeks after the last one during the 5th month. I decided after the period of the seventh month that I wanted it removed. My cycle was still 6-7 days, but the last two months included an extra day of spotting started. By this time in the journey, I had celebrated my 50th birthday, knew that having more children was not on my "To Do" list, and really wanted my heavy periods to end. So, I had it removed and I am now scheduled for the ablation procedure. I had high hopes for the Mirena, but it wasn't the right fit for me."


"The medication seems to work, but it also seems to cause bothersome itching. However, you have to do it to get the GGT levels down."


"I used to have migraines several times a week. When I was diagnosed with migraines the first thing they put me on was propranolol and since starting the medication, I haven't had a single migraine."


"I am 56 and still hot flashes. Over 2 years I have increased dosage several times. "


"I have a hiatal hernia and GERD and this has been the only medicine that allows me to eat and keep it down. I can tell when I forget my pill."


"I am 36 yr old 5'4 226 lb. Type 1 insulin pump dependent diabetic.  I was lost.  Nothing worked. I started Qsymia on 02/18/2013, the day after my birthday.  I needed help.  I had no will power.  So, after doing my research, deciding I had to make a change for me. I started Qysmia, a low carb diet, and joined a gym.  I am happy to report I have lost 22 pounds. I have many more to go, but I have also lowered my insulin in half, and am working to delete my other dependency on blood pressure and cholesterol medications.  Thanks Qysmia, you helped me get my life back. "


"I've been taking Sronyx for about 3 weeks. I am on my 4th day on my inactive pills. Last night I woke up with really bad cramps and to a really heavy period. Which has never happened before my periods before birth control were very light and no cramping.

I've also experience Breast growth, and a little weight gain."


"I have been dealing with lower back and leg pain for the last year and half. I was started with Oxys 5mg. It took awhile to figure out how much I needed to make through a day. It could be anywhere from 2 to 8 daily and never had any problem working. My script was change to Percs. 5mg. and they seem to work a lot better and only needed at most 4 per day, but I had a hard time trying to work. My last script was for Endocet 10mg. I took one before I went to bed and the next day waking up was real hard to do things like talking. I'm only using a 1/2 of one at a time at this point and on a good day just a half on a bad day 1 & 1/2."


"Goes well with Wellbutrin."


"I had 2 miscarriages within six months of each other.  After the 2nd, my anxiety was non-stop.  I started having panic attacks.  I tried paxil and Celexa which helped a little, but didn't take the anxiety away.  I finally started zoloft a few months ago and at first I was zombie-like, and could barely stay awake, but my Dr encouraged me to give it 4 weeks.  I did, and I am really happy that I toughed it out.  I haven't been this calm since before my miscarriages.  I am finally feeling relaxed and relief.  The only negative effect I am having is teeth grinding/clenching but I had that on the other drugs as well.  I am no longer exhausted, I feel normal again."


"I must say this medicine has really helped me so much I recommend this to anyone looking to gain weight. When I first started I was maybe sleepy the first week, but I got over it. I have been on this med for almost a month & gained 10 pounds already & im love the results."


"I am a 36 year old female new to the world of high blood pressure. I am a runner, healthy eater, and maintain a good weight- but my father has high blood pressure. After an ER visit with high blood pressure and an episode of tachycardia- I was told to see a cardiologist.  My BP remained at 145/100 for about a month so he put me on lisinopril 10mg. Being paranoid about the side effects- I have only taken 5mg per day for the last week. My BP is pretty stable at about 117/85. Side effects/ minimal coughing. Fatigue and dizziness."


"The actual effects were great. I did not experience any negative effects except for nausea on the first couple of days. "


"On 5 mg for about 3 weeks now, no noticeable improvement in depression, way more anxiety, itchiness and a lot more suicidal ideation.  Doesn't seem to be working for me."


"I was prescribed Tri Lo Sprintec to use for birth control as well as to help my acne. On day 3 of this pill, my legs began getting very itchy. In the days following, I had sparks of pressure in both of my legs up until day 9 where the pain had become one sided and started making my right leg throb non stop. Birth control has ties to blood clots so I was super worried. I stopped taking the pill right away after that and my leg pain went away within 2 days. It also gave me really bad acne even though I had only been on it for less than a week and a half. I do not recommend this pill at all."


"Easy to bruise, a bit of a bleeder, but I'm still alive after 2 years.  Other clogged arteries are stable.  Good news...  I've been also told I'm a lifer.  No side effects that I can tell other than the minor ones above."


"Took simvastatin only once and had a bad case of vertigo within 30 minutes of going to sleep.  The next day I felt OK for the most part, but that night I was playing drums in my band and had to stop after 40 minutes (we normally practice an hour and a half or more) because I was so exhausted.  The rest of the night I felt like my whole body was being squeezed, and my muscles were really weak.  I woke up 3 times during the night with my heart racing and feeling like I was going to pass out. I drank 1 liter of water in 2 hours, and finally fell asleep at 4AM. If I hadn't improved after 4AM I would have gone to the hospital.  The next day I felt almost 100%, but my left arm ached all day. And this was just taking it once. It's not for me."


"okay so when I originally read reviews for this pill, I was TERRIFIED. I assume you understand why. But I decided to give it a shot since my old bc (lutera) was not working for my body.
having previously struggled pretty badly with acne, I was prepared for the worst. My skin did get worse, yes, but with a consistent skin care routine I have managed it back to normal.
I have been on this pill for 6 months and I actually like it a lot. I get cramps but my periods are 2 days, if at all. I had some break through bleeding at the beginning but it wasn't bad at all and did not bother me. It's worth a shot.
Not all birth controls are perfect. You are pumping your body with hormones that shouldn't be there, hence the side affects. good luck!"


"I am a 35 Year young Man. I've been diagnosed, with Fibromyalgia twice over a period of 14 years. The first was by my Primary caregiver. He was positive that was what I was dealing with so he doped me to say the least, wake up to Narcotics, keep up through the day with stimulants and lay down with anti-depressants and sleeping pills. I quit seeing him. I continued with the pain for years, and then went to a neurologist, and he reaffirmed the diagnosis. I have been going through the medicines the same as you all have, Lyrica, Cymbalta, cyclobenzaprine, all the above, until  Savella just three days ago. I am realizing relief for the first time in a very very long time, no side effects and I pray it keeps getting better and better. Keep going."


"This pill has worked pretty good for me, I’m 18 and I’ve had problems with my periods being very painful until I got on this pill. My period has shortened to 3-4 days and comes every 28 days. The one downside about this pill is it made my very moody and depressed for awhile when I first stared it"


"Had a double ear and sinus infection that didn't clear up with a round of antibiotics, went back to the walk in and was prescribed Avelox.  Scariest side effects EVER. After about 30 minutes I felt a cold wave hit me in my stomach , I felt dizzy , lost feeling in most of the left side of my

body, developed rashes and purple splotches all over my upper chest area, had trouble breathing , became hypertensive and ended up with slurred speech and was in and out of consciousness until medical help arrived. Very scary. And that was just the first pill..."


"I was on Buprenorphine for 13 months for Fibromyalgia after 2 car accidents. It did help and relieve a lot of my pain, but at first I was so drowsy, I was falling asleep while driving. Also, the withdrawals from this medication can last for weeks."


"I've been on seasonale for two years it it's the first birth control I've ever takenand I love the results!  My periods are shorter and less crampy, I'm also no longer a hag during pms because pms doesn't exist for me anymore :)
I do occasionally get breakthrough bleeding but that's definitely my own fault for taking a pill a few hours late.
My main complaint is that I cry way more now - watching cheesy commercials and when I'm mad - and that I've gained weight,  every time I restart my new pack I'm starving all week and want to eat everything in sight.  My boobs obviously got bigger too but I'm not complaining there.
Still a thumbs up from me !"


"I have been taking Geodon for 2 weeks yesterday 20mg x 2. And this is my first day on 40mg x 2 . So far I can't tell if in manic or getting better.  I'm getting a lot more done and feels like manic.  I don't mind. But you hope it lasts I have been in a ....dark?... depression for almost 3 years ( and had 2 children), so now I'm just happy to be motivated to do anything at all. I'm really happy
"


"From (way) past experiences, lorazepam works better than diazepam (Valium) or alprazolam (Xanax) when comparing correctly converted dosages, administered for the same purposes of anxiolysis for clinically significant anxiety related to adjustment disorders, and potentization of concurrently administered fentanyl or other narcotic for outpatient procedures, whether of a  surgical nature, or diagnostic and imaging procedures for an individual who may have difficulty remaining still for extended periods of time, as in an MRI.  While midazolam (Versed) is the traditional benzo- favorite to be combined with fentanyl via IV, especially for the better retro- and anteriograde amnesia it usually provides, midazolam is difficult to obtain by pill."


"I took 15 mg instant release Ritalin for ADHD, to combat daytime sleepiness, and focus on med school studies. I have mixed feelings about this medication. It improved my focus a lot, but it also had some negative effects. I was very nauseous after taking the pill and would sometimes gag. Nausea was absent on days I didn't take it. I had no appetite so I wasn't eating enough, which isn't ideal because I am already thin and not looking to lose weight. I would try to eat before taking the pill but I did notice either a decreased efficacy of the drug. It also increased my heart rate to about 120 beats per min (I am normally about 75). This did help me feel motivated and get work done, I just wish I didn't experience these side effects."


"I've been using 75mg Effexor for 9 weeks now and it has changed my life. I wake up looking forward to the day and can remain focused throughout. I woke up on my 30th Birthday feeling very depressed and could not believe that's how I felt everyday before taking Effexor.

My libido is back to where it was a year ago and the only side effect I experience is an upset stomach during very intense work outs. I see a therapist and that too has helped. My wife says I'm now a different person."


"I was on this med for  four weeks four months ago. After about   3 weeks I felt good. Now back on it for 14 days ,because of a relapse of my infection"


"It's the only one I trust with my allergies..."


"I have had the Mirena for about 3 and a half years now. For the first 1 year to 1 and a half it was great, after that it went down hill. I have felt like I have had no energy at times, have horrible headaches, felt sick suddenly, moody and depression. I just don't feel like myself. "


"It was effective in handling the infection in my teeth but approximately 3 weeks after finishing the second course of it, I have developed the annoying vaginal itch and discharge. I am post menopausal and was pretty sure the cephalexin was the culprit."


"I have had MS for well over a decade and have been on AVONEX for 2.5 years. I believe this medicine is working well. I have had one small clinical relapse.  I make sure to drink plenty of water during the day and take an ibuprofen before my injection. I have had a headache a few times the following morning. This is the only possible side effect I have had."


"Adderall has changed my life. I have so much more energy, I'm more alert, and can stay focused on tasks a lot easier. However, I notice when it is starting to wear off, I get really moody. So, I make sure I'm not around people when that's the case. I was really worried about becoming dependent, so at least once or twice a week, I don't take it all to make sure I'm not addicted. Another warning, don't take this after 1pm. You will be up all night. It sucks. Your body will be so tired and you'll want to go to sleep, but your mind is just alert and wide awake!

It really suppresses the appetite too but the longer you take it, the less effect it has!"


"Well I was just prescribed vyvanse today for Binge eatin disorder (BED) and I'd have to say I'm pretty excited. For me I can be very conscious about trying not to eat but I always cave and eat until I'm sick, especially at night. I have 6 more days of 30 mg and then 60 days of 50 mg. I'd have to say after the first day I'm very excited and hopeful as I did eat normal meals and enjoyed them, however I feel no urge to eat the snacks that I don't need."


"With Ativan I still felt like myself and it made me happy. I didn't have to feel all shitty and boring. Ativan saved me! It releases faster in my opinion or it reacts nicer."


"I took the pill the day of our "accident" and  41 days later I find out I'm pregnant"


"I had a monkey on my back and the circus was in town, until I found Suboxone.  It has really helped me and I am getting better every day.  It is a long road but Suboxone makes it a little easier to walk.  Thank you so much for giving me my life back."


"With having discomfort for years after i had been to the doctors  and they weren't quite sure what was wrong with me and diagnosed me with ibs. After years of not getting better they decided to do a endoscopy and it showed I had esophagitis.  They started me of on 20mg for 2 weeks then increased to 40mg I must say I had no side effects and not one bellyache or chest pain or heartburn since I am overall happy with this drug."


"This stuff is easily the best nose spray I've used. However, the cap is nearly impossible to open.

Part of the problem is the base (trigger) moves while you are trying to remove the cap when you first open it. You also need a strong grip to squeeze the sides as directed on the cap to remove it.

Highly recommended, but you will spend some time trying to open it when you use it for the first time."


"This is the only allergy medicine that has ever worked for me.  I've been using it since it was a prescription only capsule and I'm honestly suffering without it.  Why they took it off the market is beyond reason?"


"I was getting angry itchy red patches on my cheeks that went scaly and looked awful. Mindful of the need to be very cautious with such a steroid medication on the face I used the thinnest tiniest amount just on the red areas. I applied it first late evening. When I got up in the morning I was astonished and delighted to see a 90% improvement, redness virtually gone and no itching. This stuff is potent and highly effective. 24 - 36 hours should be enough to completely solve my issue. Very happy."


"I got the implant inserted in February 2016 and have been bleeding ever since. The bleeding is light but very annoying and is interfering with my relationship. Although the negative side effects, the implant has worked"


"I have had a horrible experience with this cream. my face is so painfully dry even in the spots I didn't put the cream. my eyes, the crease under my lip, my nose and the corners of my lips are so dry there is now even blisters developing. It hurts to put anything on besides coconut oil but that's not helping and I am at a loss."


"I first got the Implanon in March of 08.. wasn't bad at all. I loved it up until March of this year. For the first two years I had my period at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. In March of 2010 I began having very heavy periods that lasted a good week or two. Then things really picked up this summer and after talking with my husband I decided to get it taken out and see if things straightened it (only time will tell). Thinking about getting a new one sometime next year. I really loved having it!"


"Ever since I've been taking this I wake up throwing up in the middle of the night- yuck!!"


"Awful.  I lost 10 pounds in 5 weeks before I had to quit Topamax due to side effects, which were terrible.  They included:  memory loss and "senior moments" which increased 10-fold, I think this medicine dropped my IQ at least 15 points, that "I'm not part of this world" feeling of disconnectedness; and overheating to the point that I simply could not work out.

Gained the 10 pounds back within 3 weeks of quitting."


"This is the best medicine out there. It makes me a better person. I love it. I have anxiety and depression and this is the only thing that makes me tolerable to be around. Levels me out and makes me happy."


"Most of my life I've been a good sleeper but as I've aged not so much anymore. The reasons are mostly related to pain. My rheumatologist prescribed trazodone because I could not tolerate most of the other meds. So I've been taking Tylenol PM with good results but with an awful hangover of 5-6 hours the morning after. So far the trazodone has given me the same benefit minus the morning fog. I've cut the pill in half and it has given me several nights of painless continued sleep. Awakening rested, painless and ready to start my day. Hopefully this may solve my sleepless problem and some pain too. I don't like medication but sometimes it really is necessary."


"Controls blood pressure very well, but causes impotence. I understand the diuretic part (hydrochlorothiazide) is the culprit, but it's very effective otherwise."


"This medicine, combined with 15mg of Remeron (the sedating antidepressant) has improved my quality of life ten-fold! Ambien (zolpidem) works very quickly and puts me to sleep within 20 minutes; Remeron works more slowly and keeps me in a deep, restful sleep. I've tried both medicines in isolation, with limited success. Taking only zolpidem gives me a short sleep of  about 4 hours.  On its own, Remeron will put me to sleep for 7-9 hours but takes two hours to start working. The combination of the two is perfectly synergistic!  It's the "silver bullet" to my insomnia and low-grade depression, which I've had all of my 35 years. I've never been happier or healthier!"


"I have taken Lexapro for three months and never felt better after suffering a stroke at the age of 23 due to a birth defect in my brainstem.  I was switched to Celexa because my insurance does not cover Lexapro. I felt all the anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, not wanting to get off the couch return. I went back on Lexapro and will pay whatever the cost. The side effects, for me, are  weight gain. I gained 10 pounds despite running 6 to 12 miles a day. I crave bad, bad food, which I never used to care about. My sex drive is, well, gone. I have to work on it. I guess 10lbs, paying the monthly price at the pharmacy, and the side effects above are well worth my quality of life."


"I am a Type 1 diabetic for 43 years. I have used virtually every insulin available as well as various insulin pumps over the many years I have been dealing with diabetes. None of the long acting insulins I have ever taken has behaved so well as far as keeping blood sugar stable while fasting. I now have to question whether I ever had dawn phenomenon since I no longer seem to have any rise in blood sugar in the morning. My guess is that we all have different responses to the different insulins. For me this is a game changer. Best I have felt in many years. Keep in mind that it for me it took about a week to see good results and I adjusted the dose in the second week as well. Hope more people have same experience."


"I started taking 20 mgs 2 X daily for chronic back pain associated with degenerative disc disease and bulging disc disease and it has worked wonders for my pain. It has even taken away my anxiety and depression disorder.  I would definitely recommend it to someone who really needs it."


"I have been taking this pill for about 7 months now and I thought that all the side effects it was giving me was something else so I just ignored them. Until now, when I finally hit it on the head and realized all my weird mood swings and everything are from this pill. I'm going to my doctor to switch. Every day I'm so depressed and want to cry all the time. I've lost interest in social activities and some days all I can do is lay in bed all day from fatigue and exhaustion over doing nothing. My skin is extremely oily and my hair that was once very thick is falling out. The smallest things irritate me and on my period it feels like the world is ending. I have difficulties breathing, dizzy spells, huge cravings for junk food. "


"I have severe IC. This is the only Med that my Urologist will prescribe for my 9/10 pain. I take 50mg 3x/day. It does lower pain level to a 1/2. However I get headaches and just a bit "foggy".

All things considered though I cannot function with the pain so I have to tolerate these side effects in order to live a "normal" life.

Norco did work better but my MD will no longer prescribe that due to addiction possibilities."


"After 5 infusions, I have developed nucleated red blood cells. I am now waiting to hear what the neurologist has to say, but as this is a rare but documented side effect, I am done with Tysabri. This was my first medication, and I am loath to try another. Quality of life has got to be a better option than all of these chemicals that will just make me sick."


"starting taking estrovan and on the fourth day I started noticing my tongue and throat was starting to swell, went to the ER and had a bad case of dry mouth and throat."


"No periods, no major side effects(only a little weight gain).  I had it for over a year before my 1st and only child in may 2014, and after giving birth, in total 3yrs and I love it.  I'm 25yrs old."


"I am 59 year old woman - I had bizarre dreams every night and I also suffered severe muscle spasms on Trintellix."


"This slow release medication works 100% better than taking guanfacine three times a day.  We still need find a way to tweak my son’s evenings, but it’s tolerable."


"Best allergy medicine I have tried. Works for normal allergies, and even helps with rashes and other allergic reactions."


"Wish I'd read the reviews. Have used this product for many years but they must have changed the formula. Sheer and utter torment. Burning, itching, aching all night despite wiping out as much as possible. Do not use!"


"I have been on cetirizine for about 2 years now. I am now off it now. This medicine can cause severe itching when you come off of it. A full body itch that is completely distracting and makes you want to tear all of your skin off. I have tried to ween myself off of it, lowering my dose from 20mg to 10mg per day gradually over time, but this has had little effect. After about 48 hours of not having the medicine my body goes into full itch. I have to wear winter boots and oven mitts and jean clothing to prevent myself from itching. "


"Honestly, I feel guilty for feeling great... But I've been taking Zoloft for 6 months now and I feel totally different. I was diagnosed with GAD, generalized anxiety disorder. I had serious issues with social anxiety, irritation, nervousness, constant worrying, and seldom depression. After taking the medicine for about 3 months I felt like a I've never felt before. I started to worry alot less, I started to avoid confrontation, and also was able to talk to people without feeling intense anxiety. This medicine really works well. The only negative side effects I've experienced was nausea in the first month and consistent fatigue. Working out and mid day naps have subsided the fatigue. My suggestion would be to take your dose  in the evening."


"After using Nasacort for several weeks, The allergy subsided, but I have completely lost my sense of smell and taste.  I stopped using the Nasacort and began just using saline spray and to my very upsetting dismay, I can still smell nothing!  This product has changed my life in such a negative way!  I cannot smell the flowers that are now coming up in my garden.  I cannot taste the food I am making to see what spices it may need.  I cannot smell the perfume that my husband bought me for Christmas.  I cannot even tell if something is burning in the oven.  This is just a terrible side effect -  AND one that is not even listed on the packaging!"


"If you are reading this and are currently freaking out, please stop! I was in your same position. I had sex with my boyfriend on June 26, and the condom broke. Immediately after, I drove to the store and bought Plan B. I took it within the hour. Over the next couple of days, I experienced mild cramps and a little dizziness, but other than that, I felt completely fine. I began to wonder if the pill didn't work because I wasn't having any other side effects. Today is July 8 and I got my period, only 2 days late! I know you're reading all of these reviews and hoping to make everything okay, but I promise you that the pill WORKS. Don't stress out. Just be patient and give it time!"


"My Doctor started me on Xanax.  It helped with anxiety but it was a take as needed. I felt like I was waiting for a bomb to drop waiting for that lost feeling.  My Doctor switched me to Lexapro.  I've been on it for a week now, and I feel like my old self.  I'm amazed, and so is my family with the difference in my mood.  I feel so grateful."


"I'm currently on bactrim, first day taking the medication and I saw an immediate difference. My Uti's are horrible, I'm normally awaken from my sleep, as they hurt that bad. I'm up for hours on hours sitting on the toilet due to the urge. Bactrim is helping this a lot. Also I see a lot of people are feeling sick while taking this medicine, my doctor recommends that I take the medicine with food, hope this helps you guys in the future if you're experiencing sickness."


"Works great, works almost instantly."


"Took for bipolar. Good side effects: more or less consistently put me to sleep every night. Bad side effects: gained roughly 20 lbs 6 months in, had a difficult time getting up every day, needed more sleep than usual.

It helped for awhile, but it mostly made my episodes less severe, did not effectively stop or prevent them."


"Took 25mg and thought I was going to die. Worst medicine ever. I have never been so sick in my life. Was not even able to take care of my child for two days bc I was so sick. All from one half of a pill. Beware of this medicine. I had problems breathing."


"This medicine is God sent. I am thankful every day that my doctor was awesome enough to suggest it. I still have golf ball sized knots on my back and would like a back massage 24/7 but who wouldn't! I love it and don't even know if I could continue to get out of bed every day without it."


"I started trying gabapentin for fibromyalgia and it has worked really well - I had been on small doses of amitriptyline but that was awful  - made me feel stunned in the morning. Gabapentin, on the other hand, has a shorter half-life and I wake feeling OK."


"Skyla was placed 6 weeks after delivery. Slightly uncomfortable, but so much better than my previous Mirena.  Just take take something over the counter first.  My first period was heavier and longer ( no periods with Mirena after first few months), and I haven't had another period yet with Skyla.  I still have other PMS tupe symptom like irribility and slight cramping... But no more periods for me ! I'm going on 10 months now"


"It seems to work the same as Vagifem, but costs me nothing! Wahoo!!!!
I agree with the other reviews about the packaging, but its just a mild inconvenience, I would rather just use my nail to slide the foil back off and save myself the $100. plus a month it used to cost for the vagifem!"


"I am now Hep C cured After being on Dakinza and Solvadi For 12 weeks July 2016 finished September 2016 Only side effects was not sleeping well some nights but my experience using these drugs was positive.  My last blood test was in December 2016 my doctor said no hep c detected and my liver enzymes are all normal. He advised me to be vaccinated for hep A and B Hopefully soon there will be a vaccine for hep c. I'm thankful to be cured and thankful my insurance covered the drug costs."


"Been on Ambien for five years, created tolerance and dependence.  The doctor have me belsomra.  Used it for two months, helped me wean off the ambien, but not at all to help me with my insomnia.  Now trying trazadone, and it works for me."


"Save your vag the additional pain and just call your doctor. I was taking antibiotics for a horrible sinus infection. I ended up getting a YI. In efforts of being proactive and treating the YI early I used this product. I'm in a lot more pain than I was before using. I feel like I've been attacked by bees and hot sauce. I hope I feel better in the morning because I have to work. Should've read the reviews before purchasing."


"I was given Dexametasone for my cluster headaches. My Dr injects it with lidocaine in the back of my head. It did take away my headaches for 3 months. I immediately knew when it wore off because I received one of the worst headaches. I had forgot what it felt like to get a a headache. I just received more injections for the 2nd time. He gives me about 5 injections on each side of my head at once. I have gained weight and have a swollen face sometimes."


"Inconsistent treatment! This medication caused me dizziness, restlessness, cold sweats, sleep problems, as well as concentration problems. While taking it, my function was a roller coaster ride. For a few days it would work and then I would suddenly have some or all the side effects. It took me 6 months to figure out what was causing these issues. The medication seems to have quite inconsistent effects."


"Really good for sleep.  I don't like it as an antidepressant, however.  It makes me too hungry, and when I took it for an entire month I did not like the effects it had on me.  I only use it for sleep occasionally, however, I do begin to build up a tolerance if I take it too many nights in a row."


"I started off with seralitine (generic for zoloft),100mg it lifted my mood, I was happier, less angry, calm, and it helped with my moods before my cycle came along. After a while it started to wear off so I started taking 150mg, finally I increased it to 200mg with my docs permission. I loved this dose because it seemed to suit me better, but after a while I noticed my hair shedding really bad. So I switched back to 150mg and it stopped. Everyone is different with side effects but I recommend this drug. It has changed my life for the better, it helps my anxiety,and it helps me not to worry as much. I'm glad I tried it. It does mess with sex drive but some maybe able to work around that."


"Enbrel has worked wonders...although after being on it for a year now I feel as though I have hit a bit of a plateau.  My joint pain has started to re-materialize. "


"Been on this for a few years now, taking 225mg/day. The side effects are unpleasant, but have abated greatly thankfully. When I started there was the WORST DRY MOUTH EVER. Persistent and I couldn't go five minutes without drinking something.

Had sleep problems with it, including ridiculous night sweats where I'd wake up with a body imprint in my sheets (gross, yes) almost every night. Couldn't sleep more than 2-4 hours at a time. But trust me when I say these things were nothing compared to what I was feeling before (we're talking 0.5 on a scale of 1-10) and while I'm not 100% it is certainly the single thing keeping me from killing myself, which is nice.

I can now sleep about 6 hours at a time and only have night sweats if I DON'T take it."


"I suffered a bad panic attack my senior year of college and that experience seemed to open the floodgates of anxiety that I had been keeping dormant most of my life. It was tough for me to get out of the house, go to the gym, see friends and family for months. I finally broke down to my mom and she suggested seeing a therapist. At first I was hesitant to take any meds but I finally gave in and started 10mg of generic Lexapro. Worked wonders and felt fantastic. I stopped taking it a year or so later thinking that I was "cured". Let me tell you, that was a mistake. My GAD has come back with a vengeance. Started up on the 10 mg lexapro about 10 days ago and I almost feel worse. Maybe it's just taking its time now but I'm hopeful it will be ok."


"I have been on Prolia for 2 years. I am so happy. Before Prolia, for a couple of the years I had been on Forteo, and I was tired to shot myself into the stomach every day. Again comparing to Forteo, I have much better results with Prolia. What is the most important for me :) Yes, I have some bones pain (legs, back) especially for the first 2 months but, when I see my last Bone Density results, I can bear the pain :)) Thanks Prolia! God is great!!"


"I got my first dose Feb. 24th. I cramped for about 3 weeks. I started to spot around March 20. I've been bleeding heavy on and off Since March 22 to present. Its horrible. I have serious mood swings. My face has broken out badly.  And I'm always tired and constantly eating. My body feels weak maybe due to lose of to much blood. I won't be getting my second dose in May!"


"I've been on the patch for about 2 years now. I honestly love it. Only issue I have been noticing lately is acne. I have never had acne issues up until now and I'm 21. Have any of you ladies had acne issues while on this patch and if so what did you do? Any tips would help because this makes me sad. :( but other then that it's easy going."


"I'm on day 2 and this stuff burns !!! it feels weird when I insert it, probably bc my vagina is swollen and it really burns when u first insert. I believe it works after the whole treatment but during is hell.."


"I have been on the Implanon for almost two years, I'm getting it replaced and putting in a new one sometime in January. I absolutely love it, I don't get my period for months at a time, my longest one was two months. When I do get it, it is the same I've always bled in the beginning of it, and after the first week or so it's nothing but a light bleeding if hardly any at all. I would recommend it, but you also have to take into consideration that any birth control affects people differently depending on how your body reacts to it. I love it, and have gotten scared about pregnancy since I had my daughter in March of 2010, but that's only from not getting it for months at a time. I haven't gotten pregnant when I should have. I love it."


"So far, so good.  It's been 3 months and nail is looking clearer.  I have filed my nail down to almost the nailbed in order to get the ciclopirox to the fungus.  I clip out dead nail and fungus gunk every week when I remove the built up lacquer.  I believe this has helped in the nail getting clearer.  I really think this medicine is working.  Will post again in 3 months."


"Great for Panic disorder."


"This has been the most costly, ineffective, pain CAUSING nightmare of my life! Not only did my insurance company deny its use, it actually caused more musculoskeletal then I already have!  My joints feel like they have all been run over by a truck!  The side effects are horrible!  I only just figured out today, after being on this medication for the past 3 weeks, that the actual medication was making my pain worse!  I have so much joint pain that I can barely get out of bed, not to mention the constant headache and severe fatigue!  I will definitely not continue this medication, in fact, as of today, I am done and am going back to OxyContin. It may have a terrible reputation for being addictive, but at least no side effects!"


"I was prescribed this for chronic pain. It did relieve the pain but made me groggy and nauseated, so I did not continue it."


"It is one of the most powerful medications I have taken for an infection but it works immediately - which rocks! Yet I wondered why I had trouble sleeping, felt anxious (almost to the point of anxiety attack) and nauseated. Now I know it was a side effect. It's good but be prepared for some of the side effects."


"I've been on Mobic a week.  I'm not noticing a lot of help with the pain.   I am very tired all the time,  even though I only take 7.5 mg once a day.  Also, I'm starting to notice problems with my short term memory, not being able to think of words, etc.  This is the only new med I'm taking. "


"Crohn's and pancreatitis -  The Dilaudid IV works. Just got switched to the pills.  "


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I found it taste nice and lemonoy but struggled with excessive sweetness. Felt  of could be sick but managed to keep it down and working nicely through my system."


"This medication worked for my first acute gout flare, although I was prescribed a low dose 0.3 twice a day because of it's toxic property. Later I discovered 1.2 for first dose then 0.6 an hour later then prophylactic use until flare up was under control.  The side effects where mainly bowl related. It was probably a good idea to start with a low dose, but did not get relief until I had to start the dose over with 1.2 then 0.6."


"It will be 10 years in October that I've been taking Lamictal. I've been seizure FREE that long as well. I take 200mg at night and 200mg in the morning. I too experience memory loss and concentration. I feel as though my eyes don't move normally. Since my dosage was upped I find myself in slow motion. I also notice that I have a form of dyslexia. example: putting on my windshield wipers instead of my blinkers. another example is: when I'm speaking I might say into my sentence what I'm looking at. Talk about makes me feel stupid! I must add that I also take Zonagram which was causing me other side effects like depression and suicidal. After doctors lowered the Zonagram dose, depression and suicidal thoughts were gone but I gained weight."


"I have gained so much weight, and I can't seem to lose it.... I've tried everything. I am always keeping headaches and mood swings. The only good thing about it is, no periods."


"On day 3 of taking this! Throat still sore and have got an Absolutely vile vile vile taste in my mouth which I cannot get rid of! Can't deside which is worse the tonsillitis or this sickening taste!
Also feeling hungrier than normal but then food tastes gross because of this acidic metal taste "


"I started Sanctura 4 months ago, I have had urgency and incontinence for many years, and have just lived with it.  I have tried all of the other medications to no avail, one or 2 days benefit only. I complained, with much embarrassment to my Urologist he gave me samples of Sanctura. I will tell you I have been accident free for 4 months, the second day I took the medicine I saw a drastic difference, I wasn't running to the bathroom every 15 minutes. Wonderful medicine. No side effects."


"Overall, in my experiences I have learned that in terms of extremes... the  Methylphenidates will turn you into an emotionless robot, hollow inside, socially avoidant person unable to experience life's pleasures. Nothing makes you happy, but at the same time,  nothing can make you sad.

Whereas with the Amphetamines (like Adderall and lesser extent Vyvanse) you become an extremely emotional, almost volatile, person who can experience pleasures in an extreme way. You get so overjoyed by the little things but the smallest of pet peeves can really set you off.

Vyvanse has been the best one for me. Just be aware of how you are treating those you love especially several months after starting. You may need a secondary med to balance mood."


"I've been taking Taxol/Avastin for over 26 months, this is an amazing medicine to treat breast cancer. I had already 85 treatments without stopping. Side effects are nothing compared with the amount of treatments, hair loss, neuropathy, vision problems, nauseous but not to much, teeth problems. But the most important thing is I'm still alive in Stage IV for 26 months under the same treatment. Thanks"


"I am on my second pack week 1.  I am on Loestrin24 Fe for Metrorrage or Spotting between period and 2 ovarian cysts.  Well, so far I think the cysts are already gone and I have not experienced any more spotting ---HOORAY!

I take the pill everyday at 5 p.m.  I have no nausea and have lost five pounds. This is amazing because I thought I was going to gain. I noticed a tiny ..I do mean tiny edginess but nothing compared to the Patch when I took it for birth control long ago.

I am amazed and very satisfied.  Lets hope the pill cures the cysts completely when I get the ultrasound and the spotting ceases for good."


"I have been taking Effexor XR for almost two years and I love it.  I take it for anxiety, stress, and depression.  I have taken Wellbutrin and Paxil and found a little relief but nothing compared to Effexor.  After 10   years of emotional eating I have started losing that weight, 40 lbs in the past year and I haven't dieted, I still eat the foods I love but now I stop when I'm no longer hungry and I feel no guilt when I eat a cookie or two or go out for an indulgent dinner.  Another plus, I actually want sex now.  For years my anxiety kept me from having any desire but now I can't get enough.  YAY!"


"I know people keep saying how bad the suboxone withdrawal is, but it really isn't that bad in comparison to the harder opiates.  Over my years of experience with this I have noticed that withdrawal symptoms are largely all in the head.  I know people who have never had withdrawal symptoms simply by not thinking about it.  I myself have been slowly tapering off of suboxone for about 8 months.  I try to take it later and later in the day.  Push yourself to wait another hour.  Take a smaller amt and stay busy!  Boredom will make you relapse!  Exercise, take vitamins, eat healthy.  It is a good idea to start doing these things before attempting to stop the suboxone."


"I smoked from age 13 to 53, had tried all sorts of methods to try to quit smoking. Never could. I tried Chantix, 3 Months later, I was a non-smoker-5 years later, absolutely clean of it."


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia over two years ago, have been struggling with it for about 7. Recently went to a psychiatrist because my pain doctor and pcp suggested it because of me complaining about concentration and fatigue issues. I have only been on this a short time but so far it's been A LIFE SAVER. I was started on a low dose of course just 10mg once a day IR. I could easily take 3 of these a day. My pain doctor recently put me on the lowest dose of a butrans patch and it's made a huge difference but my energy was still gone and I still struggled (I only worked on average 20 hours a week because doing much more has been too hard and I have an easy job in an office ). This adderall may save my life I'd write more but it won't let me"


"Suffering from complex pain syndrome and resultant fibromyalgia, and to find something that reduces the burning pain of my skin and along with other drugs to help with sleep has made me feel like "myself" for the first time in over 7 years.  I have shed many tears in pain and dejection, but not so many lately.  Thanks Lyrica."


"Seroquel makes me feel like I'm on a level playing field again.  I don't feel like my thinking's distorted and I don't cry uncontrollably like I have all of my life.  I have gained weight but I'm fixing to start taking Topamax to counteract that.  If the Topamax doesn't work I will still continue to take Seroquel.  I rather gain weight and be able to cope with life 100% better than I did before."


"After my doctor diagnosed me with CAH three weeks ago he put me on this birth control to help regulate my periods. I have been experiencing cramps on and off (like period cramps). Extreme breast tenderness and swelling. Diarrhea, nausea (without vomiting). Mood swings, sex drive is the same but have a very hard time reaching satisfaction, and my skin is very clear. Going to continue on this pill to see if in time side effects will decrease."


"Am I the only one that feels nothing from this? I've tried many different antidepressants over the years and I don't feel any better but no worse."


"I have bulging disks / pinched nerves in my neck causing radiating pain down my arm.  The drug was awesome for the first few days then has gradually lost efficacy for me.  However, it is still better than the Meloxicam I had been taking, which did almost nothing for me.  I have had minor side effects.  First and second day on it, my pain went from a 7-8 down to a 2.  Now it is about at a 4, which is still better than I was."


"For low back pain since I had 2 protruding discs several years ago, I  take tramadol for pain and Skelaxin for muscle relaxing. It must be the name brand Skelaxin which works perfectly as the generic causes me to be foggy, loopy, and tired as the med wears off after 3 and a half hours. I also find I don't trust my driving or decision making on the generic. "


"Had psoriasis for 14 years started in palm of my hands which was really bad for 8 years then my legs, past three years spread all over 90%, no sleep, severe itcing at night, skin shred everyday from room to room embarrassed to go any where wore clothing all over even gloves  I have not even visited family I was depressed I had from puva, uv treatment, tar cream endless of cream and ointment all failed , December 4th 2015 had my first shot of stelara I  must say they have saved my life, no more bleeding, no shredding I still have a long way to go but my skin show so much improvement. thank you I feel so much better This is a miracle drug for all of us who suffer from p

Thank you

Annette"


"I had used this years ago when I had several dislocations of my shoulder. My recovery time was cut in half. "


"I have been taking Cymbalta for two years now- it honestly changed my life. At the time I started taking it I was a college athlete and anxiety ruled my life. At first, I would take it during the morning hours and I would immediately want to go to bed. That was my problem, I needed to take it about an hour or two before bed. I am still experimenting the exact right time to take it (I sometimes wake up still feeling tired from it- but not sure if it's the medication or my routine now). I know certain medications work for some and not others, but I would recommend this medication. I had slight symptoms at first beside the tiredness- decreased appetite and no sexual desires or emotions. I still feel great! (30mg once daily)"


"Good for depression. Akathisia was horrible!"


"I am 33 years old and have been on this medication for over 5 years, I have always suffered from anxiety and high blood pressure. This medication has helped me more on the anxiety side than my high bp, but then again anxiety contributes to high bp. This has been a miracle drug for me I have been on a low dose of 10mg a day and if I really feel on edge I take 2 a day and that's it! Because when I take 20mg my heart rate drops to about 60bpm which is pretty relaxing for me and I don't want to go on a higher dose. When my heart races I automatically take this bad boy and BAM!Can barely feel my heart pounding,which is an extreme relief.if you have anxiety and feel your heart pounding it just makes your anxiety worst,creating a viscous cycle."


"Have been on Crestor for over 5 years Total cholesterol is 130 from 180. Increased my HDL slightly while lowering my LDL. Also took Niacin for years. Now only take Micardis. Yes, muscle cramps when I walk long distances. I'm 75 and just had a carotid ultrasound and totally clear of buildup. Liver enzymes are OK."


"Worked amazingly took it 2 hours ago and already feel better. To the people with stomach cramps drink a tall glass of ice cold water and a gentle meal and you'll easily avoid nausea and diahrrea :)"


"awesome"


"This patch is absolutely wonderful I use it every time we go on a cruise and it completely eliminates the motion sickness. I have suffered with motion sickness most of my life driving in a car or anything with movement. This saved my entire trip every time I cruise I never leave home without it. The only side effect I have is extreme dry mouth but I just make sure that I keep myself hydrated while I'm
vacationing on a cruise ship"


"I could not live without my patches but I took the bus to Kansas to see family and my suitcase managed to disappear. I had the worst withdrawal I have ever been through. I ended up in the hospital, and had to fly home."


"I was prescribed 100mg of Wellbutrin for my light depression and anxiety.  After 10 days I became so irritable and dizzy that I asked to stop taking it for fear that I wouldn't be able to work and may have a full-blown panic attack.  I had taken it 2 years before in combination with Cymbalta and it worked great.  Besides making me feel worse than mildly depressed this time, I also had numerous side effects like ringing ears, slight nausea, and dry mouth.  I have had no sexual side effects (55 yo male)."


"I have developed allergies (pollen?) in the last 2 years.  Go figure, I'm in my 50s.  My eyes get itchy and red and watery, and I scratch my eyelids and eyes so much.  This irritates them and the eyelid gets raw.  I finally tried Flonase from a doctor.   I got jittery and anxious.  After a few day, the roof of my mouth got raw and sore and painful.  I did not rinse my mouth every time after use.  Maybe I should have. It was destroying my skin on roof of mouth.   I will never use Flonase again, I threw it away,"


"Every persons experience is different and let me tell you reader I am super sensitive and I don't like medicine at all. It took me 3 YEARS to actually have an IUD and my original reason was anemia but I also want birth control. I took my time and visited my doc several times making sure my body was ready. I eat all organic and I exercise regularly. The day of my procedure I took 1 Advil and 1 shot whisky.  Procedure lasted less than 1 min and my pain level was about a 5. I took the rest of my day lying in bed with a hot pad and bled for 2 days (spotting) 5 days after zero pain zero bleeding and sex! So glad I did it !! I'm 48 with a small frame and my procedure was 4/5/17 I'd do it again !!!"


"Have been taking Belviq for two and a half months have lost 10 lbs.  First two days had a headache and felt weird, but then it went away and I have noticed I sleep like a rock (albeit I do have weird dreams).  I also have a lot LESS anxiety, so I am unsure what that is about?  I don't have any other side effects except that I am MUCH less hungry, don't really think about food like I use to.  It has been so much easier to stay on track and just eating like a normal human.  I feel GREAT and am very grateful to this drug."


"Lialda has given me a decent quality of life again. I've suffered relentlessly for 20 years and finally found a great doctor, who gave me this medication. It's not an overnight fix. I've been taking it for 3 months and it has fixed what I thought was permanently my lot in life. What a fantastic medication !"


"My original indication of Macular degeneration was distortion of vertical lines .

After six injections; these distortions have improved significantly.

I am very optimistic this process is working"


"I have been constipated for over a few months. I have tried a number of different things for it. I took the magnesium citrate at 1:30 pm yesterday. I felt very gassy and bloated. By 6pm I was going to the bathroom. I woke up the next morning feeling worse than I did before I drank it. I have diarrhea cramps and am not getting hardly anything out when I have to go. Overall I will not drink this again. I feel terrible :("


"This medicine tastes awful."


"I've taken plan B one step after a mishap during unprotected sex.  I took plan B about 1 hour and 45 minutes later and I am pretty positive I was fertile. After taking the pill I received bloating the next day and extreme fatigue. My period is due tomorrow and I would like to know how to make it come faster rather than having to wait and worrying myself even more. any suggestions? I know that since I took the medication so fast it has a high effectiveness level. I just want my period Asap!"


"I have been on Trilafon for 2 years now. Mostly I liked it at first because it brought me back to earth when I was over anxious. I have lowered my dosage since then and I thought it was doing me well, but I have been having neck problems lately and have realized that this is a side effect of Trilafon called extra-pyramidal syndrome that damages my posture area, so no matter how hard I try I can't regain a good posture.

"I started on Micardis 80mg, good for reducing my blood pressure, but I had bad vertigo, dizzy, had too lie down, felt sickly and had cold sweats. Did not agree with me. Reduced it to 1/2 a 40mg tablet. Felt okay for a day then had vertigo again. Stopped taking tablets."


"Excellent antibiotic for bronchitis! I haven't been sick in over 1 year since full time retirement as a nurse manager; Spring hit early in Rhode Island, with its fluctuating temperatures & abounding viruses/bacteria and wham! Sickness W a nagging cough and productive sputum came with it. Augmentin for 7"days was prescribed by the NP. On day 4, and feeling much better"


"Its been over a month using the over the counter.  I posted previously.   I had started out using once every three days and then went to every two days to make sure no issues.  Skin got very dry at first.

Apply each evening about two hours before going to bed.  In the AM I apply Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture with Sunscreen SPF 35 and re-apply as needed.

Had several blackheads mature during the month.  Some were under the skin surface.  All gone.  A few whiteheads.  Skin has calmed down considerable.  Skin seems healthier. No longer use Benzoyl Peroxide."


"It is great to read all your different experiences with Escitalopram and it gives me hope that a lot of you have been able to benefit from this. I am only on Day 3 with 10 mg  Escitalopram (1st time on AD) and I really hope this will reducere my SA and GAD after 10 years of suffering"


"Now taking Wellbutrin for 3 years. Experienced no depression at all. First 3 months on drug was able to distinguish depression from stress. Have an exceptional amount of stress in my life. Depression well under control. Probably no longer need to be on Wellbutrin."


"Unbelievable searing pain down the right side of my right leg always first thing in the morning after getting out of bed. I quickly take two Aleve with a glass of milk and wait for the pain to subside which usually takes about forty five minutes. I am then fine for the rest of the day. I also do yoga exercises later in the day which helps."


"I feel the same way as the other person! I was also previously on Lutera and the pharmacy switched me to Orsythia and I am having the same side effects--and a few more. "


"I'm going to the doctor on the 2nd for bloodwork and physical so I can get the script for Chantix, so as with any med that goes into this body I'm researching. I'm finding everyone's comments informitive, but have notice a lack of one thing, no comments from those of us that are ADHD. Meds for us are different than for you mere mortals. I'll research it more and will post again after I start the regime so that those of us MetaHumans will have info from a reliable source...LOL!"


"I was really excited about getting back on birth control, as I have had negative experiences with the pill. After less than 24 hours, I could tell a huge change in the way I felt, overall. I had a pounding headache, I felt like I had not slept in three days, and I wanted to eat everything in sight. I tried to stick it out, but after a week, I gave up and decided to take it out. All of the symptoms vanished within 2-3 days."
