"I pass chronic kidney stones and have had numerous stones removed via surgery. A few times my kidneys have shut down via urine back pumping from obstructing stones. In this case a shot of Dilaudid every 15 minutes kept me laughing and giggling with the nurses. Amazing stuff.  For my day to day pain from stones and stone related damage to my urinary tract Dilaudid is really the only medicine which is proven to help time and time again. I've been on every pain medicine it seems over the years and while Demerol is a close second, Dilaudid is what keeps me productive at work.  I'm on 8mg but cut them in half as needed. "


"I started Effexor XR about a year ago. Within a month I developed an excessive sweating condition, which my family, friends, and others noticed and commented on. Many of my new blouses got discolored sweat stains on the neck, which would not be removed by pre-treating or washing. I could no longer exercise without having a major debilitating sweat, which would take at least 20 minutes to recover from.  I started Cymbalta yesterday, and tonight I was able to walk for 1/2 hour with my husband, with only normal sweat."


"I have lived with Ankylosing Spondylitis since I was 14 (49 now).  Did okay with NSAIDS until about 10 years ago when it began to really get bad.  Started Humira 2 years ago.  It took about 4 months to really help my back.  Unfortunately lately it seems to be losing it's effectiveness.  Hopefully this is just a blip in treatment."


"Dramatic reduction in hot flushes achieved taking 1300mg Evening Primrose Oil daily and almost eliminating dairy products from diet."


"I took Cantrave for five months under a physician monitored program.  After three months there were no noticeable effects of the drug.   I started to regain the weight for two months while on the drug.  I went off the drug and five months later I am back where I started and several hundred dollars out of pocket.  My physician told me it was good for long-term use, but that did not prove the case for me.  It was not effective after ninety days."


"I have only been taking this birth control for 3 weeks now. I used to take Cryselle, which I was on for 2 years, and never experienced any problems with it besides weight gain, which was around 20 pounds. I have been off of Cryselle for a year now, but about 2 and a half months ago, I got in to a new relationship, so I decided to get back on the pill. I went to planned parenthood where they prescribed me Orsythia, and the doctor mentioned to me that spotting, nausea, & feeling "funny" were the most common side effects. Let me say that my pill was not covered by my health insurance so I had to throw a fit at my insurance company, CVS, and the doctor. Orsythia costs me $27 a month. Anyways, about a week and a half after "rapid starting" the pill on a Friday, I began to notice I was grinding and clenching my teeth. I put put this off, until I started to realize I was so anxiety-ridden that I couldn't sleep, eat, and I felt as of I was almost in a dream-like state. Not to mention, I do have manic-depressive disorder, and it is clearly stated that Orsythia can worsen symptoms in mentally ill patients. Other than the extremely severe anxiety, the pill itself is not so bad. My first period only lasted about two & a half days, I had no cramping at all and I usually cramp before.& during my period, I also had unprotected sex 'exactly' 7 days after beginning the pill, so it's safe to say that it does the job at preventing pregnancy, it's just the side effects that make it so horrible."


"I have suffered with severe IBS symptoms for 25 years. It became really debilitating. I decided to have a colonoscopy and gastroscopy to make sure there was no other underlying problem. I was diagnosed with IBS. The doctor prescribed 1 librax in the morning and 1 librex and 1 Trepiline at night. He also prescribed VSL#3 which is a probiotic. This doctor saved my life. Since taking this medication, my IBS flare ups and symptoms are becoming a thing of the past, as long as I also watch what I eat."


"I HATE hormonal BC. I tried at least 20  since having period issues in High School.

After having my one and only, I had my IUD put in.  My doc had put in hundreds, no insertion issues.
Things went well the first year; I had some string scared but promptly had an ultrasound to check and make sure the IUD was in place.

I've had it over 4 years now.  I've had several cysts on one ovary that grow to the size of grapefruits before rupturing; something I had never experienced before.  This came with very long, very heavy periods.

No pregnancy scared but have had to start taking a 2 month cycle of hormonal BC for the first time in over a decade to try and correct the issue. I tried to wait it out and it's only gotten worse.

4 days in. Oh boy."


"I just started week 3 taking 2 pills in the AM. So far, I've been one of the lucky ones.  I've had absolutely no side effects.  I don't think about food 24/7 like before.  Also I'm not binging at night like before.  Junk food just doesn't have the appeal it once did. I do get hungry but fill up much quicker now.  I've lost 7 pounds in the first 2 weeks."


"I won't lie, I'm an emotional person by nature but before my period I am so horribly depressed and miserable all the time. But at the same time, knowing it's only because of my BC and not because my mental illness is actually getting worse  makes it worth it. It's just for the week before. My last partner of almost two years finished in me nearly every time and I never had issues, never had a worry. It has regulated my period. I know exactly when to expect it thanks to my Period App (flower icon). My acne is better. I lost weight initially then my breasts got bigger. I won't lie, I've been thinking about switching only because I'm interested in other brands,and I'd only switch for the PMS symptoms. Started at 18. 5'0, 120 lbs."


"Awesome medicine, changed my life! Love Love Love it!"


"While I'm still in the middle of treatment--I'm using the 7 day dose, since my doctor thought a milder approach would be best; currently on day 5-I am pretty much in love with this medication.

I have suffered from chronic yeast infections for years.  I don't know why no one has tried this for me before.  Granted, I have also just started taking acidophilus, but the effect was so immediate that I think it was the terconazole.  For the first time in ages, I have NO ITCHING AND NO PAIN.  It's amazing.  Unless it all comes back later or I have some crazy side effects, I would DEFINITELY recommend this medicine.
I haven't had any itching or burning from the cream so far."


"It's a wonder drug it has taken my voices away and seeing things away. My paranoia is still there but alot better. My moods are under control as well"


"While using this med. I opened the top turned it sprayed while inhaling and it would not stop spraying almost choking me and taking my breath away I dropped it on the table and it continued spraying for about a minute. I called the company and after being transferred and 15 mins. later they were of no help whatsoever. I told the last girl I spoke their product sucks, it is obvious these people don't care what happens to anyone using their product. I will also be contacting FDA."


"I've been on Aviane for 11 days now, starting the 1st pill in the pack the first day my period started (Sunday). I've now had my period a full 11 days and it's starting to get really annoying. My sex drive has decreased a bit, I have vaginal itching, burning and redness, and I find myself becoming frequently dizzy. My breasts have become extra sensitive and seem much fuller than normal, my acne/ clearing of face seems the same as before taking the pill, but my mood swings have been the worst. One moment I want to cry, the next moment I'm cheerful and happy towards everyone. "


"Just started Lyrica for extreme pain in my thoracic spine after a workplace injury causing a muscular ligamentous tear of my medial scapula. I tried every sort of pain medication available with absolutely no relief. My Dr. prescribed Lyrica for me a few days ago and about 4 hours after the first dose I noticed a change in my level of pain. Had massive side effects though such as vertigo, dizziness, light headed, blurred vision, etc. I did have a fever though from an unrelated condition so I'm not sure whether it is related to the Lyrica. I have continued taking this medication with the hope that the side effects ease and the pain remains minimal. I'm worried about weight gain that others are talking about. I've just lost 25kg, don't want it back."


"I'm 19 and I've been on birth control since I was 15. I started out with the pill, then depo, now nexplanon! The pill made me feel horrible I wouldn't recommend that to my worst enemy. Depo was good because I didn't have a period but I gain soooo much weight. Nexplanon made me lose a few lbs but I didn't gain any which was good. I also do not have a cycle on nexplanon. I sort of miss it(don't ask why lol) I'm in my 2 1/2 mark with nexplanon and I'm only getting it taken out so I can have my cycle, I just feel clogged up without a period. I would most definitely recommend Nexplanon to anyone!"


"My doctor initially had me taking Loestrin just like a regular pill, to help keep my horrendously painful periods a little shorter and more predictable. However, with endometriosis, even a 4 day period was too much for me. I would be doubled over in pain. It hurt to walk around, sit and forget about even doing anything else. It got to the point I was so terrified of getting my period that I had to do something. So my doctor decided to keep me on Loestrin, but told me to skip the placebo pills and just keep taking the pills continuously. Pro: I have not had a period in months and I am so thankful. Cons: my breasts are constantly heavy and sore, and my nipples sometimes hurt to touch. Small price to pay for endometriosis relief, though."


"I am in college and finally started to get help for my depression and anxiety. My counsellor sent me right to the health center when I told her my symptoms because they were both so bad. I was severely depressed, suicidal, and had severe anxiety. They put me on lexapro for the quick results. I took it the next morning and was taken to the hospital by ambulance in the middle of class because of a severe anxiety attack. I had never had one before and it was terrifying. I do not blame this medicine but don't be afraid of something that may take longer. Lexapro just didn't work for me. I now take Zoloft and have no problems. Just be cautious."


"Have had panic attacks off and on for 37 yrs. and this is the BEST of all the benzo family  for relief!! IT WORKS !!!"


"I've been diagnosed Bipolar II 3 years ago. My depressed periods were much longer than manic ones. My psychiatrist and I tried many medications without success for bipolar depression. In April, he suggested to try Latuda. I was hesitant because we already tried so many medications... but I decided to try. After a week, my depressed symptoms were almost gone. No suicidal thoughts anymore. I was feeling good and was able to determine if my bad feelings were related to my life conditions or to my bipolar condition. I noticed a decreased libido which is my only side effect. This medicine doesn't reduce my anxiety which is still very high."


"I have been taking this drug for the past 8 years, and it has absolutely changed my life. I developed IBS-D and lactose intolerance after a horrible ovarian cyst that burst. My anxiety was through the roof and I was afraid to leave my apartment. This drug keeps my symptoms in check! I take 2.5mg a day (half a pill). I take a full dose if I have a bad day, but try to keep it to a minimum since it does cause dry mouth. Only downside is that this drug is expensive, $50 a month for me. Insurance companies want you to take cheaper alternatives, none of which worked for me like this one does."


"I had a bad injury to my neck and back due to a head on collision with a double decker bus for years I was in severe pain I was on gabapentin-morphine then along came fentanyl patches I started on 25 over 72 hours then 50, then 125 over 48 hours I could not believe the difference just a dull ache I could put up with the hot and cold flushes and slow running heart"


"I started this journey April 11th 2016 today is April 24th I'm down 13lbs. The first day was the hardest vomit and nause very sleepy. The next day symptoms gone I'm on 2.4 dose and it's going well the only thing I experience is constipation but then again I'm not eating like I use to, I have to force myself to eat the only thing I can handle is yogurt. I drink a lot of water that helps with the dry mouth. But overall I love the results can't wait till my next appointment to check blood pressure and cholesterol levels"


"So I'm 18, and have been on prescribed fentanyl from 12.5 mcg and now am up to 100mcg p/hour. I haven't had a BM in WEEKS, and was just about ready to go to the ER When I discovered I had the dulcolax suppository in a drawer. My goodness, let me tell you that it gave me the only relief I've had since this started. About 3 weeks ago. No stomach cramps like from pills, just slight back pain until the rock hard stool had been completely eradicated. If your in an opiod constipated person, even if you find it a little degrading, USE THE SUPPOSITORIES. You can avoid all the cramps and associated symptoms until its finally time to pass, though your bum WILL hurt afterwards if you passed a grapefruit like myself. Hope it helped! Don't judge!"


"I used Hypercare in the past, but stopped using it. I decided to use it again yesterday because I have been sweating a ton. Well, last night it was itchy and burning my armpits. I didn't sweat today though! I just put it on about 15 minutes ago and the burning and itching is much worse. It hurts so badly. I am only using this until I can get to the dermatologist to get something that won't hurt so much. "


"I have tried a few triptans; (Zomig, Maxalt, Imitrex, Axert) and had the best results with Axert 12.5mg.  I also use a toradol nasal spray in conjunction with the triptan.  I suffer from chronic migraines (15-18/month).

I am able to function and not miss any work with Axert.  I am an IT executive and do not find I have any diminished capacity with Axert.

I am currently waiting for coverage approval to start botox (200 units) for my migraines which will hopefully eliminate my headaches.  Fingers crossed!"


"I was prescribed this medication when I suffered a severe anxiety attack. I had mild attacks before, but I honestly thought I would die that day.
I took one pill and it knocked me out for 12 hours! I was sitting in class a week later and I felt another anxiety attack coming on so, remembering what happened with the last pill, I bit the pill in half and took the smaller piece. It knocked me out for 8 hours!!! Good thing I didn't have to work that day! I have never taken anything for my anxiety previously but I wanted to get my attacks under control. I discovered meditation works best! If you have never tried it...find a local class and sit through it!! I promise it will help you find the peace you are seeking!!"


"I quit smoking 3 years ago after smoking 2 packs a day for 40 plus years. The first week I smoked as I usually do. At the beginning of the second week I through away all my lighters, ashtrays and all the cigarates I had left over. I haven't had any kind of smoke since."


"I started using Drysol about 9 years ago and it has been amazing! I was sweating in my hands, feet, and armpits and now it has gotten to the point were I can apply it twice a month and I can last a long time without sweating. I am so glad I found it.  I would recommended for everyone.  If it doesn't work for you the first time keep trying it. It might eventually start working."


"Love this product. I've used Mucinex before for cough congestion and I didn't feel that worked at all for me, but Mucinex D has already offered me much relief from my sinus infection. I couldn't breath through my nose at all and within 3 1/2 hours I feel better and can breathe. I took this with 2 Exedrin back and body for the severe tender/nose pain and feel relieved and comfortable. Still tired (no insomnia here; 600/600mg dosage) and ready to finally get some sleep."


"I started taking Sprintec October 2016, this was my first time on birth control so I did not know what to expect. The first few months were normal as if I wasn't on anything. However, I did start gaining weight and my periods started coming later than they were suppose to. I started feeling down a lot more often and it totally killed my sex drive which sucks because that is why I started taking it BUT it did do its job so I can't really complain."


"Prostate removed - huge 350 cc- Gleason 7, PSA 15, radiation for 8 weeks, Lupron every 3 months for one year, every 6 months for the next year and a half. PSA has been less than 0.01 since initial radiation. Weakness, memory problems and hot flashes but no cancer. Treatment is worth the side effects. I feel very lucky. "


"This medication was an answer to prayer. I suffered with chronic diarrhea for over a year and had tried Imodium, dietary changes, and anything else I could think of to stop it. I eventually had a colonoscopy and biopsies taken showed collagenous colitis, a form of microscopic colitis. ONE day on this med stopped my diarrhea. I haven't had any negative side effects whatsoever."


"I've been on Nuvaring for about 3 months. It is by the far my favorite form of birth control. I was on some form of the pill for the 5 years prior to this year and I had all sorts of problems with them. I love the convenience of Nuvaring and only having to remember it once a month. I was concerned about how Nuvaring would affect my tendency to acne and am pleasantly surprised that it is working the same as most pills and I have not had a problem with acne. There are a couple down sides to it though, no sex drive and tendency to gain weight. I am able to deal with the weight gain and adjust my lifestyle to where it is not a problem. However the decrease in sex drive is quite irritating for both my husband and myself."


"I have not had a single bad experience thus far with Mirena.

I had it inserted about 10 months ago right after work. The whole "procedure," start to finish, took about 15 minutes, and was only slightly painful. It was done by a nurse practitioner, who was reportedly more experienced than any of the other physicians at the practice. Another ten minutes to catch my breath and I rode my motorcycle home with no issues. I am in my early 20s and have never given birth.

My periods immediately lightened up until they became virtually non-existent. Very little cramping, easily taken care of by ibuprofen. I can still maintain my intense work-out schedule, lifting, cardio, abs, stretching included, with no fear of dislodging."


"Terrible rash, headaches, body aches, profuse sweating and nausea."


"well it seems to help so much it scares me. the thing is been to the ER alot of times no answers.once they did find i have small hiatel hernia. My gastro Dr put me on this it seems to help keep me out of the ER. I am thankful for this, and pray it continues with my other meds to help. till i have my surgery.It makes me tired but thats all."


"I started Nucynta the first time and was on a low dose of 25mg of Zoloft. Had been taking hydrocodone 10mg for several years. The reason for Zoloft was for minor depression that the hydrocodone causes. The first two pills I had of Nucynta caused insomnia and weird dreams and a bit of anxiety. Also, I had shivering and so hot I felt I was burning up. Even though my Rheumatologist/pain specialist suggested I give it 5 days, I did not. Well, a couple of weeks later I am trying it again. So far, so good. My pain level is better but not yet all gone. I did have to take a hydrocodone early in the morning as I started having withdrawal symptoms from not taking it. I was told I would not. Glad for Nucynta. I have neuropathy, fibromyalgia, 2 kinds of arthritis."


"Absolutely hate this pill. Was on nuvaring but co-pay was going up to 65bucks a month and I couldn't afford that! This pill makes me moody and little things bother me that shouldn't. I have no sex drive, breasts are tender and don't want to be touch. Unfortunately I have to wait out the month before switching to another pill. Definitely not a fan of this birth control."


"I am a young and small person who was in search for a medication to control my depression but mostly my anxiety and OCD tendencies. I had tried Lexapro before also mixed with Buspar but it never seemed to fully do the trick; it felt like I was taking a pill and not getting much from it. Prozac has caused maybe a 5 lb fluctuation in my weight and it did decrease my sex drive for about the first 6 to 8 months but I feel that is just the amount of time necessary to get used to the new drug. This has been the only effective solution to my illness."


"I was on Zoloft for 8 years and my doctor first tried to ween me off that and put me on Effexor.  It was miserable.  I am sure some of it was related to the withdrawal from Zoloft, but I was eventually able to transition to Lexapro without the same problems.  This medicine made me extremely nauseous.  I had a horrible headache and was so depressed my family cried from being around me."


"I've had epiduo for around 3 days already and only by using it once a night I have already seen significant changes in my acne. Before I got this I tryed so many different face washes and this is the only one that had a positive reaction"


"I have been on every antidepressant in the book except the MAO inhibitors for  the past 20 years.  In the past year every antidepressant in the class SSRI OR SNRI has given me diarrhea and I quit taking all of them.  I am now on trazodone 225 mg which is partially helpful for insomnia and depression.  I am also taking neurontin 300 mg. 3 times per day for pain which isn't helping but it does help my mood.  I also am taking an old drug vistaril 50-100 mg. per night.  No one pill will help me sleep. I take Lunesta 3 mg. which helps most of the time.  My insurance won't pay the full amount because it is expensive.  Heaven help me when I get on Medicare because it will force me to take generics and their isn't one of Lunesta yet.  I tapered off"


"Cleared up the eczema sores & eliminated the itching within 2 weeks....unfortunately , the condition started to reappear a few days after I stopped using it. After a 2 week break, my Dr. wants me to try another course of it."


"This was prescribed in the maximum daily dose, 15mg, had some effect in reducing swelling and inflammation in my foot, but caused severe bloodshot eyes! I stopped taking it and Tylenol did just as good a job on my condition and no more bloodshot eyes!! Incompetent Dr.!!"


"I started using this the first day of my period . it seem to work good. But then it started getting sticky around by the 4 day it completely fell off in the shower and I had to put a new one. The part where the patch use to be was extremely itchy and there was a rash/bumps (no I did not shave my butt) or spot where I placed the patch. This time I placed the patch in the front and its extremely itchy . no mood swings no headaches no cramps shorter periods I love it but it doesnt stick good and it itches. He came inside me hopefully it worked and I didn't get pregnant have to wait and see. I have previously tried the pill and I broke out like crazy and sex drive went down and I was really moody."


"Was given this drug following severe bronchitis due to chronic dental inflammations.  By day 3, I realized my left ankle was painful and hobbled.

I read the black box warnings and immediately discontinued the drug, however, that ankle and then the other one got progressively worse.  I was barely making it to work and back, trying to do eldercare solo, and thinking I was going to be crippled for life 6 months later.  Was seriously looking into joining class action lawsuit and probably should have, but no energy left over.  Think megadoses of magnesium and supplements plus some homeopathics like Thuja finally tipped the balance, and I gradually was able to walk normally without pain again.  Used Oil of Oregano to clear the infections."


"My son only started Strattera this week.  The first day his stomach was upset.  Then we started taking it at night.  It was mush better.  I dont know if it is going to work but he says that he is feeling better already."


"I've had my Paragard for a little over two months. I have three children, all vaginally delivered so insertion was not painful.  So far, no pregnancy so it's doing the job.  However, I have noticed feeling very fatigued since about a week after I got it, as well as periods that have gone from 5 days before Paragard to 11 to 12 days after. The side effects are not unbearable but they are certainty noticeable and impact my lifestyle."


"My mom told me to try this to help my infection. I had no problem putting it in, it was just like a tampon. Everything was fine for the first hour maybe 2 hours but suddenly it has become so uncomfortably painful and itchy. I don't know how to make it stop!! :( I hope it ends up being worth this. (honestly the yeast infection wasn't this bad)"


"I've struggled with my weight for years, I am a total binge eater at night. My doctor first brought up Victoza and I was really hesitant to take it (the whole injection thing scared me), but honestly it's not bad at all! You just have to pinch your skin wherever you're administering the medication and you won't feel anything. The needle used is I think a 38g which is SUPER small. No bruising or anything around the site of injection.

This is my second week on it, and I've already lost 5lbs. I haven't experienced any side effects, I did get a little nauseous the first two days but it wasn't anything that was so horrible I couldn't continue. I don't have any problems binge eating, it's great! I hope to see more results in the next few weeks!"


"United Health care does not cover this, as of March 10, 2016 :("


"i have had dizzy spells everyday for the past few years. my mom thought it was my eyes getting worse so i got new proscription and that did not help. i went to the doctor and they put me on this medicine. it worked for two days and then my dizziness just worse."


"I took this pill 13 hrs after unprotected sex on Nov 1, 2 days after my period ended. He pulled out, but took it just in case. 8 days later I had a very short period. For weeks after that, I had what felt like little cramps that came and went, but never a period. I was moody, hormonal, and stressed because I worried that what I had earlier was just heavy implantation bleeding. I took 4 at home pregnancy tests and they were all negative, went to the doc and had a test done - negative also. 7 stressful weeks later, my 2nd period came, with a vengeance. I will be getting on birth control as well as always using condoms! The stress and the crazy effects aren't something I want to go thru again! But, not pregnant!!!"


"No doctor had been able to diagnose my condition. As a result, I was prescribed 10mg of Valium 3x daily as a crutch indefinitely. At first, I was dim-witted and happy and got SOME relief, but after about a year, I started to become increasingly apathetic, dim-witted, started to have problems with light sensitivity and focus, become uninterested in socializing, and have a personality shift from the funny, charming guy, to a depressed robot with anger spasms, who takes risks just to feel some sense of being alive. After 2.5 years, the physical relief has all but stopped, and an any case I cannot have a life taking this. I am in the process of tapering off of it."


"I am a 47 yr old female. I had my third positive colonoscopy and endoscopy experience with Propofol yesterday. It is an amazing drug! I had no burning as it was administered and I slept through both procedures with no memory of pain or waking up. 20 min in recovery and I was able to go home with my driver. I was groggy at home and slept about 5 hours and then I woke up rested and feeling normal again."


"I am coming up to 1 year taking Saxenda. I am down 40 lbs., started at 250lb, 210 today. I want to reach 180lb, which is my goal. The doctor wants me to wean myself off of the drug because I should have learned how to eat by now. The plan going forward is portion control on all meals, stay away from the bad foods and join a gym because I can lose the weight but now I have to build up the upper body.  The Saxenda taught me how to eat one plate of food instead of three or four but now I have to swim without the life jacket!
Very best to everyone! :)"


"My first cold in a while and very disappointed to find Drixoral has been "discontinued."  Please bring it back.  It's the only thing that works without putting me to sleep."


"I started using acyclovir, 2 months ago. I had 9 separate mouth and tongue ulcers, and anal herpes at that time. Presently, I have no anal issues. But, I have two ulcers that just won't go away completely. What I believe to be hsv2 colitis, that was diagnosed as plain ulcerative colitis has improved, after having an acute flare up that has lasted several months."


"I mistakenly bought the prefilled applicator, usually I buy the 7 day cream but after realizing my purchase mistake I figured why not go ahead and use it. I had a YI that was in the beginning stages,  after I used the prefilled applicator my vag was on fire and super itchy! I literally felt like someone got a funnel, put gasoline and cayenne pepper in my vag and lit a match.  My tolerance for pain and discomfort is super high. Anyways, it did get rid of my YI for sure after that night of torture. The pain lasted 3-4 hours. I won't buy this product again unless if my YI is super severe."


"I use to have panic attacks everyday for three years. I was scared to go to sleep. I've tried so many antidepressant and effexor was the only thing that worked with little to no side effects. My Dr. started me on 75mg, then increased it two wks later to 100mg. I've been on 100mg for almost a yr and I still haven't had a panic attack or anxiety."


"I have been on this pill for 5 months now. This is my very first type of birth control pill, so I really don't have anything to compare it to, but so far so good. I take it at night time (10 pm) and have never had any major issues. Before starting the pill I read a lot of horrible reviews and it scared me a bit, but I decided to try it for myself and I'm glad I did. The only negative thing I have to say is that my period lasts much longer. Before getting on the pill, my periods lasted 3-4 days. Now, I noticed they are very light, but lasts 10-12 days. But I will give it more time so see if this changes."


"This medication is a miracle if you have extreme anxiety and panic attacks. I've been on it close to 10 years and have never changed my dose. If you don't overuse it and only take it when you can't take the anxiety anymore then you should be fine. Within about a half hour I'm feeling much better and my anxiety is at bay."


Chlorpheniramine / hydrocodone / phenylephrine

"I love this stuff.  Found it about 10 yrs ago.  It is the only cough medicine that i will take.  And it tastes good!"


"I absolutely would NOT recommend. After I took this Med, my nose was so stuffed up I could not breathe through it. I do have anxiety and this med  took it through the roof!!! NOT a fun experience!!!"


"Best medicine ever for migraines."


"Recently, I found myself to strain more and more to poo in the morning. Then one morning, I couldn't go at all. As I know that my body doesn't handle missing a bowel movement well, I started looking up remedies. I decided to start with the most gentle so I started with Colace and lots of fibre and water. I still couldn't go the following day and it was getting pretty uncomfortable so I saw a Dr and she told me to use PEG. I rushed to the drug store and took 17g at noon. Soon afterwards, my cramping got worse and worse to the point where I had to lie down to get relief. The following day, I woke up and had 17g of PEG and soon after the cramping was so bad that I was thinking of going to the ER. Two hours later, a nice bowel movement happened."


"20 months ago strained lower back doing commercial door contract in addition to world training for a swimming comp, slight strain combined with underwater dolphin sprints with fins on wouldn't allow my damaged/strained lower back muscles to heal, inturn they became more and more tense and sore until spasms began and finally a massive spasm floored me.
Doc gave me a course of 6 Diazepam, I think 5mg, 1 every evening so as not to feel drowsy during the day. These combined with a stop to my training and the spasms stopped almost that day and allowed my back to heal.
Due to work back on them, I'm confident they will work but I do find after four days or so that of an evening they make me feel euphoric. This drug helps me to function pain free"


"My doctor recommended this for my pre-menopausal symptoms as well as anxiety.  At first I was thrilled with the results but about 3 months into it I realized the insomnia was not worth it.  I have sleep apnea so this medication was not a good choice for me. My doctor increased the ambien dose and that wrecked havoc with my system.  I have stopped taking both and hope to feel better soon."


"I am a teenage girl, and was told to go on the depo after my mother found out that I have been having sex with my boyfriend. I've been on it since I was 15, and I never even had to worry. I haven't gotten my period since then, and I have only gained 10 pounds. Slight irritability, Increase in my breast size by two cups. Keep in mind that the weight you gain is all body fat. I have an ample amount of stretch marks on my legs especially. If you do not care about the weight gain, this birth control is definitely for you."


"I had an ileostomy 34 years ago, whilst in my 20s, for severe Ulcerative Colitis. After many obstructions I had been left with short bowel syndrome. Two years ago I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease after fistulas started leaking faeces through my skin. After a 6 hour surgery I was put on Humira. After a year I came out of remission and was put on Humira weekly. Despite that I am now bleeding internally. I have only 4 foot of bowel left and have just finished 60 day diet without food. I have nowhere to go as my surgeon said further surgery isn't an option. Humira has extended my life by slowing the disease I'm sure. Every day is a blessing and I'm so much better than 2 years ago. I still have time to enjoy life with my family. I'm grateful"


"Did not work at all for my chronic Crohn's disease."


"Alright guys! If you are thinking about starting the use of Trazodone for your insomnia, Go ahead and take it without a second thought.
Definitely changed my life a 100 times better. I was having mild insomnia, but it then progressed to severe insomnia and I had to break the loop. Natural supplements don't do the trick when your body is used to sleeping so less.
Take Trazodone and slowly wean off when your body starts sleeping better.
And yeah, no side effects (1st week was bad headaches and grogginess but they go away).
"


"Posted nearly a year ago about how I was going which was good at the time. Having been on them for 12 months I thought I could do an update. Has been really good for me. I suffer all the severe physical symptoms that come with anxiety and citalopram keeps them in check. I do notice if I forget to take my dose (20mg) for more then 2-3 days my anxiety flares up again. I still have the occasional off day but its never been anywhere near my pre medication days. Happy with the low dose. I really recommend exercise and eating well if you suffer anxiety.
You can't make a judgement on only a weeks worth or less of taking this drug. I see lots of people posting 1 star after a day on it. You need at least 4-6 weeks to see changes."


"I started on 50mg but am now up to 75mg and even with that I sometimes still wake up. It was a good medicine at first.  Then I have found my body getting used to it, I could nearly go to work for a day after 50mg.

I am guessing soon I will be on 100 or 125mg.  Wait and see."


"I have used this medicine for motion sickness and it is great."


"Paroxetine has really helped me. It has served me really well for some years now and I have not experienced any serious side effects even though I have quit the drug a couple of times for some months. I had panic attacks and was depressed and anxious. After I had taken paroxetine for some weeks everything changed. From being stuck with worry,anxiety and depression on and off for several years, one morning, all of a sudden I felt joy and life became so much easier to live. I find it so odd that this drug seems to work in so many different ways for different people. For some it seems to create hell, and yet for me I´m inclined  to say the opposite. It may not have created heaven but at least it has given me my good life back!"


"I have been on Belviq for 9 days now and have lost 7 lbs.  The first day I had a severe headache and some dizziness.  I only took one pill that day.  My headache and dizziness went away once the pill wore off.  Started again the next day and no headache so I kept going and took the two pills that day.  I have had no side effects since that first day.  It does curb my appetite and I haven't been hungry.  I am using my fitbit and the MyFitnessPal app to keep up with my exercise, calories and water intake.  I need to lose around 65 pounds.   Belviq costs me $75 a month, I got the discount coupon from my doctor.

Update...One Month 15 pounds down.  No problems at all, it's working for me."


"Only side effect for Provigil was a headache for the first week.  Much more effective medication, better result and fewer side effects."


"I have been on Wellbutrin XL for a little over a year, and it has dramatically improved my quality of life. I have struggled with depression for almost my entire life, and only recently sought out treatment, and WOW, what a difference! Wellbutrin didn't cause any weight gain - if anything I lost some weight - and it didn't decrease my sex drive. It took about a month for it to kick in, but it was well worth it."


"The Prolia is helping with my bone density.  I am allergic to Actinol, Boniva, Envista etc.  I have taken my third shot three weeks ago.  I have experienced blisters between my toes, the bottom of my feet peeling off, rash, small pinpoint red dots on my skin, a cough, stomach discomfort, bleeding sores on my face and my cholesterol has gone up the the highest point of my life!  I have also gained 10 pounds that are almost impossible to lose.  I'll see what my cholesterol level is in another 6 months.  I believe it should be down by then."


"I have  Bipolar Disorder, PTSD, Anxiety, OCD.  I Started taking 300 mg once at night, gradually went up to 1200 mg before my psychiatrist took me off of it. I've taken other mood stabilizers as well as antidepressants and antipsychotics with none really having a noticeable effect. It helped to mellow me out some, but during and after stressful life changes and traumatic events that occurred, my anxiety, mania, paranoia, anger, irritability, brain fog, etc. was full blown. My depression and brain fog always lingered throughout the whole time I took it as well. I did not want to risk upping my dosage due to the possible toxicity. I was starting to feel extremely nauseous after taking it even though I always took it with plenty of food and drank plenty of water."


"I never breakout ever ( only when i was a teen)

I always got compliments for my skin and this has made me breakout, i been getting lots of leg cramps too and spotting all over my cycle. Emotionaly im the about the same. Ive never taken birth control and i think from my experience on this is not worth it."


"This is my first attempt at a depression medication.  I am a 42 year old male, married with 3 kids a full time job and run two businesses.  My main issue is slight depression but more stress and agitation with kids along with some anxiety.  It has been 6 days that I have been on 10mgs and I am very pleased (mostly).  By day 2 I noticed I was not as easily agitated and less stressful, a wonderful thing!  However there are 2 side effects that I am noticing, restless legs syndrome and insomnia.  The two are enough that I did not take my pill this morning, hoping to get some sleep tonight. "


"I took Ella one 42 hours after having unprotected sex with my boyfriend, and have heard Ella is still very effective,  I have also took levonile before around 6 months before this mishap and everything was fine with that no nasty side effects in fact none at all, but Ella one is a different story, I have felt very ill for about a week of taking it! Day one after taking it I started bleeding which lasted for only four days this wasn't a problem, but the pill has made me feel so weak still do this day my whole body aches I have had constant severe floods of nausea and I'm constantly tired and my belly has been cramping as hell, I do regret taking the pill after the way I feel, and wish I got levonelle on the time frame needed."


"I've been dealing with Irritable Bowel Syndrome for about 7 or 8 years now, with the severity increasing greatly about three years ago. I lost my job after a year because I missed so many days due to flare-ups where I couldn't move. My flare-ups got so bad that I was vomiting blood from the pain, and on more than one occasion, had to go to the ER for morphine simply to take the edge off the pain after hours of throwing up blood. Bentyl is the only medicine to this day to help in any way, shape, or form. I started out taking one pill during flare-ups which would help in about 15 minutes. Now, depending on the severity of my flare up, I take two to three pills & it takes about 30-45 minutes to become effective. "


"I have an active pilonidal cyst. For those not familiar with this condition, it is extremely painful. It involves a massive infection. I have been treated with Augmentin XR for 11 days so far. After about 8 days, I could feel a noticeable improvement. It works great, however, it is rather rough on your digestive system."


"I've only had this in for a couple weeks, but so far it seems to be a huge success! The only thing I don't like about it is how itchy it has been, but it's getting better. I've also noticed a bit of weight loss (not complaining) and my period, which I just got yesterday, has been very light. I haven't had any spotting or irregular bleeding. Overall, I think I've finally found a form of contraception that isn't a constant hassle."


"My 11 yr old daughter had a sinus infection and was prescribed 300mg 2 times a day. Within an hr of the first dose she became VERY ill. Turned Pamela white and eyes dialled as if she were going to pass out. I called the dr immediately and they said the effects would pass. We discontinued immediately and was prescribed a different antibiotic and she was fine. This drug is horrible and can't believe it's still being used."


"I have had migraines for the last 10 or so years, as well as insomnia. Flexeril has done wonders to alleviate both of these issues."


"I've been on the drug for about 10 months.  Lost 46 lbs.  I find that it no longer supresses my appetite.  In talks with my doctor we have decided to come off the drug for 2 months.  See how my weight is and go from there.  Not sure if/when I start to take it again it will again supress my appetite.  Time will tell.  I exercise regularly - 5 to 6 times a week.  I had absolutely no side effects.  6 months in doctor did all the blood work tests.  He was extremely pleased with the results.

Good luck"


"I had the Mirena put in because I was going to be living outside of the U.S and was worried about taking prescription drugs that are not regulated. I am 23 and have NOT had children. I got to a P.A for my gynecology visits and mine recommended it. I asked a lot of questions and did a lot of research. Many sites claim that the procedure is extremely painful, but I really believe it depends on each person's pain tolerance. I wouldn't go to have a Mirena put in everyday, but the pain was very minimal in my opinion. Also, a lot of women complain of getting a ton of acne, cramping, hair loss and other side effects. So far I have no complaints and am loving it. I would suggest to take Advil or ibuprophen before the procedure for cramps. Good luck."


"This medication is prescribed 10/350mg up to 4 times per day - or as needed.  I normally take it 3 times per day.  It is the only medication that has not caused stomach bleeding problems as aspirin did; has not caused liver damage as Tylenol did; and has not caused kidney necrosis/nephritis as Advil did."


"I have been taking TriPrevifem for about 7 months now and no complaints whatsoever. After the second month of taking Tri-Previfem my period has definitely done a 360* and regulates monthly now. I haven't felt on edge and I have lost weight as well as going down a cup size on my breasts. It's a great pill, but know the tablet can vary in side effects depending what your body can handle. FYI: definitely research on your own as well as talking with your primary doctor!"


"I started using Epiduo at the end of January and it is now the end of April and my skin has improved so much! I suffered from a lot of clogged pores and black heads that would turn into the pimples with the gross pus. It was severe or anything like that, but having clogged pores on my cheeks was just a nightmare and makeup always made them look obvious.

My skin now has only 2-3 black heads that are going away on their own. My skin never purged all at once where my skin looked worse. It was really gradual. The clogged pores went away or they sometimes came up, but never all at once so totally manageable.My advice with this stuff is to 1. Give it time. You definitely need to give it 3 months to do its thing and 2. moisturize!"


"I had been feeling some general depression and anxiety for 6-8 months. Nothing specific, just everything seemed to pile up. I felt like I couldn't get the negative thoughts out of my head. Dr prescribed 10mg Lexapro, I got the generic escitalopram. Day 1, I felt like the anxiety was dissipating, but I did have bad nausea and loss of appetite for 12 days. On the 12th day, I woke up, anxiety is gone, nausea is gone, and I am hungry for the first time in a while. I am hopeful that this isn't just a 'good day', but that the side effects are finally gone. First 12 days were rough. Stick with the meds, always keep something in your stomach, even if it's just a cracker, and good luck! For me, plain apple sauce, Canada dry ginger ale were helpful."


"I have been treated for major depression all of my adult life. Over the years I have taken many different drugs for depression. Zoloft works best of all I have tried so far. It took about 2 weeks to really start feeling the difference so be patient."


"I started Siliq 6 months ago at 90 % body coverage of plaque psoriasis. I cannot thank my derm enough for recommending this medication. For the first time in 20 years I can wear a dress!! After the first 3 months of usage I had less than 30 percent dryness on my skin. Highly recommended, you wont be disappointed."


"My doctor prescribed me with a 90 day supply of terbinafine for my toenail fungus. He said it was a lot cheaper than Lamisil but was basically the same product. Terbinafine is just the generic brand. It has been almost 7 months and my toenails look great. Big toes are at about 85% clear and all others are cured. I regret not taking it sooner because I missed out on so much hiding my toenails for years. I did not have any side effects at all and got blood tests to check my liver every month. Just do it... you wont be sorry and you will be left wondering why you did not take action sooner."


"Very helpful to me. It made me stop the rage outburst of anger and depressive outbreaks and crying spells and controls my eating habits. Now I eat healthy and eat to live not what's eating me."


"I was on Lexapro, Effexor and Cymbalta to treat my depression. All of these meds affect sexual drive and cause a gain weight (20-30 pounds). I also had a hair loss on Lexapro, muscle pain on Effexor. My doctor gave me Wellbutrin brand samples for 2 weeks-150mg a day. Wow, I started to feel a difference on the second day, my mood was excellent, I had a lot of energy, I could feel a joy from little things. The only side effects were: constipation and no appetite at all. "


"I'm 25 years old. I have never taken Any form of BC before. Well except condoms lol. Any ways.. I have always had irregular periods. I would skip a month or sometimes 2. I was always tired and would just get in a funk. Well the past 2 month's I have had 4 periods 2 weeks apart and they would last up to 8 or 9 days. Had tinder breast for almost the same amount of time.. Sometimes they hurt so bad I wanted to cry. I had enough... I went to my doctor and he prescribed me these.. Been on them for 2 weeks. I have been in a better mood and have more energy. I did wake up with a little cramping this morning and I had a little spot of blood in my undies but I'm fine now. Oh and my breasts stopped hurting... Yay thank the Lord."


"The Maxalt-MLT self-dissolving tab worked wonders for me.  At a time when my doctor was trying to determine the most-effective treatment form my migraine headaches, this medicine was a God-send.  My doc gave me samples of various triptan meds and I was to try one out at the onset of every migraine.  Of the 5-6 different samples I was given, Maxalt-MLT worked the fastest & had the least amount of side-effects. I was amazed. Unfortunately, my insurance would not cover it and I had to settle with sumatriptan. Sumatriptan worked, but it took about an hour and I just remember feeling really weird after taking it. Anyway, if/when my migraines start again- Maxalt is what I want."


"I just started tenuate 25mg today.

I am hopeful that it will work for me since I have had no luck with a few other medicines.

I'm a little concerned that I might experience some scary side effects. I'm frustrated because I've been doing 60 minutes of cardio 4 times a week, eat low gylcemic, and haven't lost any weight in over a month.

If this medication doesn't work, then I will soon be out of options."


"Personally, I do not think paragard is the right form of contraception for me! I had the IUD placed on August 8th and literally bled NON STOP  until September 7th. And then I started my period AGAIN on September 25th, and the bleeding is even worse this time. I've been wearing the largest size tampons you can buy, and still have to change them EVERY HOUR or else I leak through. I've been wearing a pad every night with the ultra size tampons and still have to get up and change both once during the night! The cramps are horrendous and my sex drive is nearly non existent... I've been feeling extremely weak, light headed and very fatigued! Will be having my IUD removed asap."


"I was put on Abilify a month ago. I have always been manic/ depressive. I suffered post traumatic stress in Iraq in 2007. {I said NOTHING and am still serving as a National Guardsman}. I work law enforcement during the week. I USED to sleep all day on my first day off, it was a struggle to do ANYTHING on my second day off. Since I have been on Abilify my life has done a 180 degree turn. I feel so much better. I get up and face the world every morning at 6-8 am. I feel like a new person."


"I was 21 when I got Implanon inserted. I wanted an easy to remember contraceptive that was not placed in my uterus, that kind of freaks me out. Simple straight forward insertion, few days of bruising. I had it inserted after my baby turned 8 weeks. I hadn't had my period yet, and after the insertion, continued to not have periods for a whole year (up to today) no mood swings, no acne, a really great birth control! However I have a non existent sex drive and it's really rocking my marriage. After a lot of contemplation and concluding that it's the birth control and not likely the breastfeeding causing this lack of libido (possibly mom-hood too), I am removing it next week and going back on pills. Good luck to my sex life!"


"I took bupropion for about two weeks and I didnt like the side effects. I cant sleep and with kids its a big no!. Its been about 2 weeks since I stopped and I wish I didnt. I get anxiety attacks I want to cry!! And dizziness. I will visit my dr soon."


"I just started this medication about two weeks ago. I was having intense Obsessive compulsive symptoms as well as the occasional suicidal thoughts. When I finally had the courage to express my suicidal thoughts, my doctor recommended that I take Celexa 10mg once daily. So far, I am very pleased with it. I was on fluoxetine (Prozac) for 4 years and it had some intense side effects. Celexa works just as well as Prozac with fewer side effects. Only thing I've noticed is it made me quite drowsy for the first few days, but I think that is over now so everything is great! I am much more positive, yet not hyper like I was on Prozac."


"I've been on this medication for about 3 years and it works great for me! My periods are always at the same time each month and are light. I take it before I go to bed each night and it does not affect my stomach. It is the first birth control I started and I would recommend it. Everyone is different, but in my experience it has worked very well!"


"Klonopin works excellent for my anxiety from PTSD. I still have some issues, but at 0.5 mg 3x day I feel much calmer and only rarely have panic attacks. I am better at talking to people and the other issues caused by my traumatic event. I have had no side effects from this medicine. I am worried about having to come off of it, but my psychiatrist says with weaning it is not too difficult. I think there is too much stigma with this medicine. It works and if you need it, you deal with the physical withdrawal when you have too. It can't be worse than the Zoloft withdrawal I had- with weaning- that doctors told me I wouldn't have. I am not tempted to take more than prescribed, and I don't feel "high" on it. Has helped me immensely."


"I got the Mirena today, literally an hour ago, and let me just tell you exactly how nervous I was. I had an anxiety attack going in, I was so scared to get it. I had nearly backed out so many times because I kept reading the reviews, but I am so glad I got it. The pain is quick literally so fast you can't even react to it. I'm cramping, mildly, and bleeding (which is normal when something is inserted in you) I definitely recommend this to anyone, and if you're scared, don't be. It's literally a 5 minute procedure- and it's quick and easy. Pain goes away so fast!"


"I take Effexor for anxiety which has greatly increased my insomnia. Without something for sleep, I'll wake up anywhere from 20-30 times a night. I fall asleep easily but wake up repeatedly. I've tried many things over the years to try and help improve my sleep; 5HTP, SAMe, Melatonin, phenibut, klonopin, trazadone, seroquel, etc. The gabapentin is a life saver. I take it at the same time every night and sleep like a baby. There are no side effects that I can tell and ZERO grogginess in the morning. I'm amazed that I wake up refreshed and ready for the day. I haven't slept this well since I was a child. I highly recommend being open to trying this if you're suffering like I was."


"I suffer from migraines and also am overweight. So the Dr prescribed me topamax for both. I weighed in at 209 on Feb 2 2016 and today Feb 12 2016 I am 203. So far so good with the weight loss. I'm not to pleased with the side affects however. I feel fuzzy all day. Like I'm on a cloud, Dizzy.  Tingling and nubness in my fingers and toes. Hasn't helped my migraines at all either.  It does though not make me hungry at all. I have to force myself to eat because I know I have too. I don't see myself taking this medication long term. I'd rather try and lose the weight naturally. Not worth all the side affects"


"I'm 31. After 10 yrs of sciatica pain caused by bulging discs and fracture I was prescribed tramadol. They are amazing. No side effects. And no pain, only take 30 mins to kick in. They help me so much in my heavy lifting job. I take them when I'm in a lot of pain. Other times I just try deal with the pain."


"I've used Megace to help with lack of feeling hungry which results in poor protein intake. Megace keeps my hunger level at a point where I want to eat and can keep my weight and nutrition up."


"My PCP prescribed Serzone for me after I described typical symptoms of depression. As an RN I didn't want to feel "medicated" & never did. This medicine gave me back  myself. I was on it for about 4 yrs then switched to Paxil for about 2 yrs and then taken off all together. I haven't been on any medicines for depression in 7 yrs as my divorce is long over & I am well healed - Amen! I would recommend Serzone   regular lab work & doctor's care. Also, talk therapy helps too!"


"I like Stendra, no headaches like Cialis or Viagra did. I am 80 years old and have tried all methods. Injections with trimix, vacuum pump, and cock ring. I still have to use a cock ring to keep it up, but stendra works best, keeps me up with no side effects. Keep trying, never give up. I hope I have sex until they put me in the horizontal position."


"I have been on nuvaring for about 6 years.
PROS: I've never gotten pregnant. My boobs went up 2 cup sizes. its not uncomfortable at all. It regulated my period. Much easier than the pill, you put it in, then you can forget about it for 3 weeks. But the BEST THING for me was that it cleared my acne.

CONS: I am moody, more depressed, will cry for any little thing. I have always been 110 pounds my whole life with tiny fluctuations now I'm heading towards 125 pounds! No sex drive at all. Broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years because we never had sex. It gives me constant BV and daily vaginal discharge which is the worst side effect to me.

I have decided to stop it. I'm sick of having BV, and I don't want to gain any more weight."


"I've tried two different types of birth control pills, each for almost 8 months. I constantly forgot to take the pills, and it just didn't work for me. My doctor recommended I switched to the shot. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER. 0/10 recommend from me. But then my doctor and I talked about other medications I can take, and it was between the IUD and the patch. Before agreeing to take the patch, I was told that it may fall off when I was in the water, and there may be side effects. When I started this, I had absolutely no side effects whatsoever. I soon skipped a week, and I messed up the patch cycle, but no side effects. I didn't think it would work, but I've been on this for almost 7 months, and I love it"


"This seemed to help a lot in shrinking my tumor in my throat. Not much side effects, in fact felt good. But the doctor said I had the max amount, went off of it and the tumor blocked my throat again in 2 months. Now they say nothing more can be done for me. The pain is horrible, no one should have to go through this terrible cancer. I pray for some kind of help again.  "


"This was the WORST drug I have been on since I was diagnosed in 1998. I was on the injection for about six months, gained a lot of weight (50 pounds) and had a horrible gallstones flare up in which I was diagnosed with the condition (after fainting in public). I was put back on abilify and prefer the oral pill every day to the injection! One nurse didn't inject me correctly and I developed sciatica for longer than I was on the medication!!"


"Been on this device since beginning of February, now August 3 2016. I started losing  my hair like crazy in the beginning, that has stoped. Gained a little weight but that's my fault for not eating right or exercising. Period wise I love . Didn't get my period till yesterday. It wasn't even a period more like spotting on and off 'll day and today just brown discharge. I'm guessing that was my period. I love it  sometimes I forget I even have it."


"I have been on Apri for over a year now. I was on Yaz before this one and it made me absolutely crazy! This one didn't seem to have much effect on me besides NO sex drive.... Enough where my husband and I argue about it at least a few times a week. I'm only 20 and should want it more than NEVER... Thinking about switching birth controls now."


"This is an actual life changer for me. I've been abnormally sweaty as long as I can remember - small walks in any kind of warmth I'd be soaked, even shovelling snow in (actual) single digit temperatures would result with me soaking through  coats. It would get 10 fold worse in any area with humidity (I live in a very high altitude/dry area). I was very self conscious of this, constantly only had my hair back because it would be wet by mid day. Miserable. I started doing some looking into the symptoms and found hyperhidrosis and was so relieved to see something with a name and a potential relief. I immediately set an appointment with my doctor to discuss Oxybutynin. I've been on it for three days and my sweating is gone. It's GONE."


"I was prescribed 30 mg of Cymbalta in February 2010 and took a daily dose until now. I am currently on Day 12 of being Cymbalta free. For a period of time, Cymbalta worked really well for me; however after over a year and a half on it, I was beginning to feel like a zombie and there were serious sexual side effects that interfered with my quality of life. My doctor instructed me to stop Cymbalta cold turkey and so far, it has been the worst 12 days of my life. Horrible, HORRIBLE withdrawal symptoms that actually sent me to the hospital. Although Cymbalta did work well for me in the beginning, had I known about the withdrawals I wouldn't have taken it."


"My experience was okay, I took 10 mg prednisone for about two weeks when I started taking isotretinoin for my severe acne. It reduced my inflammation very well, but caused uncomfortable bloating and very mild muscle soreness. It also caused me to have significant mood swings from having a lot of energy and excitement to being very depressed and having suicidal thoughts, and in some cases it made me a tad bit aggressive. So, it did the job well but the mental effects were kinda unenjoyable in my opinion. Personally, I won't say the drug is bad but I do highly advise you to take caution and monitor the mental health of whoever is taking the medicine."


"I am now in my 7th week of using Epiduo, I had a really bad Acne after I got the IUD contraceptive which broke me out so much. I even had my wedding with loads of bumpy acne and pimples on my face it was so bad.
My doctor prescribed Epiduo to me after I rejected the Duac as the burning sensation was unbearable. I began using Epiduo precisely on the 18/12/2015 and Its has been amazing. Please stick with it and don't apply too much on the affected area. Don't worry if you break out even more when you start, it's part of the healing process and with time you will see amazing result. I also started my period today and I can only see 2-3 pimple compare to like 20 or more that I usually get whenever I start. The point is, it really work."


"PLEASE, mention what the pharmaceutical company your lisinopril is from!

Sometime over the last few months(?), Lupin Pharmaceutical has changed tablet sizes (I think in all dosages).  My brother is on this medication, has been for 8 years.  He hadn't really noticed the pill size change because he recently changed pharmacies also.  Within the last couple of months, he has had some symptoms that he wasn't sure why he was having.  Primarily, dizziness and lightheadedness, which has also stirred up his anxiety, and fluctuations in BP and heart rate (both going VERY low).  He decreased dose, then stopped taking.  Then BP spiked.  Took lower dose again, and dizziness is back, anxiety is back.  Viscous cycle with little answers at this point."


"IF you use this drug JUDICIOUSLY, it can a God send.  I take 1 mg 3 to 4 times a week, never passing 5 (and rarely hitting 5).  99% of the time I take it right at bedtime to get a bomb sleep.  The next day, the world is beautiful.  I am lucky; I can feel the drug working for 13 hours every time.  And when it wears off, I still feel superb.  I am a better person with this inexpensive medication in my life!

I have been taking ativan for 10 years.  The routine above has been consistently done for 3 years.  Consider a low dose SSRI; I have been taking 10 mg of Cipralex/Lexapro for 18 months.  I wish I had this figured out years ago!  Good Luck."


"After reading all the horrible comments on sites about this medication, I thought I would add my positive ones. I have been on it a little over 4 months now. As of the 4th month, I stopped all bleeding. Very few side effects at first, maybe being tired (I was anemic too), a little nausea and cramps right at first, but getting past all that, the bleeding finally stopped. This is a wonderful medication. Don't let the negative comments impact you. Each of us react differently. I have fibroids and the bleeding was very bad. They didn't know if this would help or not, worth the shot. Glad it is so far. Just don't give up at first even if you want to. Give it at least until the 4th month for your body to adjust."


"Does the job."


"I don't know if this is the only thing that works, because in addition, I take valium for spasms. Now, I have a problem, I cannot wake up, am groggy all day, feel tired all the time, worried while driving (80 miles each day), but I should also say that I have been tired prior to starting this. I take 1/2 of a 25 mg for over a month now, feel 300%, but then again for interstitial cystitis I'm also on Valium."


"I did a lot of research before deciding Nexplanon was a good option for me. Insertion was much more painful than I expected from reading other reviews and there was intense bruising for a couple weeks after the procedure. On the bright side I've been on it for a couple months so far and the only period I've had was the week of the procedure and none after that. My skin is a little worse off than it was on the pill but not unmanageable. The only other major side effects are that my libido has almost completely disappeared and I have gained a bit of weight  I can't seem to shake(although I'm actively working out and dieting). It's great as far as birth control goes - but consider the side effects before trying!"


"I've taken many different types of birth control trying to find the right fit. I saw good reviews for Sprintec so I was going to go with that, but my doctor gave me the generic instead which is Estraylla. I've only been on it a month and I'm nearing the last week of my pack. I haven't eaten for 3 days because I feel so sick, I've thrown up for the past 2 days as well. I haven't had sex since I started this pill because my sex drive is totally gone. This is seriously the worst birth control I've been on I can't even finish the pack I feel so sick and anxious all the time. Do NOT get this birth control. There are a million different ones out there that are so much better."


"I just get really constipated and have to be laxating 2 times a month if not once every week. I was 213lbs and now I weigh 183lbs so I lost 30 lbs in 3 months."


"I love how easy it is but in 9 months I have gained 20 pounds and am getting really sad. I don't have any bleeding at all but I worry about the side effects on my weight and attitude."


"I took this medication when I had stomach flu and I was so thankful to have it!  It worked quickly and efficiently to stop the nausea and therefore the vomiting."


"I got on this back when it was Implanon. I have been on it for 6 years total. I'm due to get it out on the 24th and I plan to keep it out. I'm always nauseous, have headaches, dizziness, severe mood swings and anxiety. I just don't feel "normal". Didn't relate it to the BC at first because I thought I was just being a big baby about it but after seeing so many people worth the same feelings it confirms my feelings. The first time I didn't have a period for two years then when I got after it ended I was extremely sick. This time my periods are sporadic and either really heavy or really light. Usually with old blood. Getting it out soon and really hoping I feel better when it's all out of my system. Plus side: it's really good at its job."


"Zoloft is really good."


"I have been on Viibryd for about 3 months with mixed results.  I started on 10 mg, I saw little improvement and increased my dosage to 20 mg.  The pros:  it took me out of a suicidal depression; my anxiety is lower, the physical symptoms of anxiety have decreased too; I have more energy, no more afternoon naps.  The cons: sexual side effects are present, not as bad as other SSRIs but still bothersome enough to keep me from increasing my dosage; diarrhea in the beginning but it does go away, be sure to take it with food; same with insomnia; vivid dreams; has done nothing for OCD and besides alleviating my suicidal idealization it's done little for my depression, I feel flat and unmotivated.  Going up to 40 mg may help but I'm ambivalent."


"I have MS and I love this stuff. It makes me kind of jittery, but nothing knocks out an acute exacerbation like this."


"Hello again everyone! I have been on Paxil now for 9 weeks and it has still been a very beneficial addition to my life. I've started to feel like the real me now. I don't feel subdued or Zombied out like some people report. I started on 10mg then my Dr. moved me to 20mg about 2 weeks ago. The only main side effect I've had in transitioning to the higher dosage was severe mania for the first couple of days. It wore off significantly as the days passed. As for the weight gain that "Paxil causes", I think it's just that I'm not so anxious to the point of nausea and disgust in food. I love eating and enjoy my food again! My biggest positive in Paxil is that my generalized anxiety is SEVERELY reduced. Panic attacks are down 85% and I feel great!"


"Have only been on this medicine for two days and I am debating over whether or not I should continue taking the rest.  Thankfully no hallucinations or nightmares.  However, the aftertaste is horrible.  You can't get rid of it.  Everything you eat and drink tastes awful.  Gum and mints help with the taste.  Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do when it is time to go to bed.  Not sure if the tummy cramps are from the illness or from this medicine."


"This is the first time I am writing a review and that is because of how amazing this product is. I never had acne as a teenager and out of nowhere 6 months back I had a bad outbreak of cystic acne. It frustrated the hell out of me. They were mostly on my chin and jawline. My dermatologist prescribed clindamycin benzoyl peroxide to me. And it has been the saviour. Just a heads up, it dries the skin. So make sure to moisturize your face. The gel and cetaphil have gone hand in hand for me. I never had any irritation or redness but yes it did dry my skin but it got better after 2 weeks of use. I think my skin just got used to it. I still have a few pimples here and there on a rolling basis but it has been much much much better"


"I just finished the free 2 week trial and lost 8 pounds! I couldn't believe it. I hadn't excerised either but will start incorporating it in a few times a week. Dr. prescribed me a 3 month supply, my insurance doesn't cover but the savings card from Belviq helps. I'll try one month and see from there."


"This is my 3rd time taking Chantix. The 1st time I took it for 3 months  and quit smoking for 3.5yrs. I experienced the dreams but no other side effects. The 2nd time I took it for 1 month & quit smoking for 6 months. I still had the dreams but had nausea also. This time I've been on it for 4 wks, smoke free for 3wks. I'm having the dreams and had nausea for only the 2&3wk, but in the 2wk I started experiencing more side effects. I started feeling tired lazy bummed and in a bit of a depressive state. In the 3wk I became paranoid and obsessive with racing thoughts. Its hard to focus and now in the 4th wk I question if I'm hallucinating or dreaming. No thoughts of suicide. I quit taking it today & hope to stay smoke free."


"I started taking Seroquel about 10 years ago. I have to take about 600mg a night plus Ambien to get a good nights sleep (this is as prescribed by my doctor). I don't know what I would do without it. It changed my life when I realized what a good nights sleep could do. My depression improved just by sleeping better. I've never had any terrible side effects. I do tend to have to eat after I take it as it seems to make it work faster. I did have a small amount of weight gain (5-10lbs) but nothing like when I tried Zyprexa (30-40lbs)! Seroquel is definitely something you should ask your doctor about!"


"I started taking this diet pill about 2 1/2 yrs ago and in 3 mths had lost 45 lbs. I was thrilled with the results and had decided to stop taking it. I kept the weight off for 1 1/2 yrs. But in the past year I have gained back 15 lbs. So I made an appointment to see my doctor. I love this miracle pill."


"This is the best birth control I've been on. No weight gain at all. And it doesn't make it hard to lose weight. My boobs have gotten bigger. My skin is so clear I get compliments on it ( i used to have bad acne). And most importantly, no babies. I have sex with my SO without condoms so I know it works. I know exactly when my period will come every month.  That's a relief because I used to get my period anywhere from every 2-9 months apart.

Only side effects is occasional nausea on the first week of each pack. And random headaches but that's not often."


"So after reading all the reviews on here which totally saved me from having a panic attack I had to write about my experience. I'm 20 years old and me and my bf had unprotected sex on August 29th, he pulled out but I was still super paranoid so I took Plan B 11 hours later. I had absolutely no side effects so after about a week I was convinced that the pill didn't work for me and even started thinking about how I was going to tell my parents, my friends, the whole thing! So crazy I know.. So anyways I got my period today and am so happy. Trust me even if you don't experience any side effects does not mean the pill isn't working! I promise, Just try not to freak out and keep yourself busy. Also my period came a little less then a week early"


"Took this as a relief at 8.00pm by 3am i was getting cronic tummy cramps and sweats i felt sick but nothing eas happening ny about half 3 being in pain with my tummy for that long and wanting to cry i suddenly had a massive case of the runs for about an hour ive never felt to poorly after tablets in my life i will defianatly not be taking the rest of these ever again"


"I have been taking Asacol HD since I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease almost 3 years ago and have had only one flare-up. This works great for me!"


"I've been taking Cipralex 20mg in the morning and 15mg Remeron at night and would take from 0.5mg to 1mg of lorazapam in the morning as this is when my anxiety is worst. Since my anxiety was not improving, I decided to get off the Remeron to reduce the Seratonin. Remeron was great for helping me sleep but the withdrawal was awful. I decided to use lorazapam to help me sleep which worked well for a while. Without the Remeron my morning anxiety became better and I started to have better days. This only lasted about a week. Pretty soon I was having sleeping problems and the lorazapam didn't help my daily anxiety either and in fact at times I felt worse. This is the downfall of lorazapam. You build up a tolerance and have to increase the dose."


"I took Vesicare l hr before dinner.   About 1am, woke up with severe abdominal pain.   Thought I would have to go to the Emergency room.   Then I started with diarrhea and the pain subsided.  "


"I started TriNessa Lo almost 2 months ago because I want to clear my acne. During the first month I didn't see any improvement. In fact I think that it even got worse. During the second month my face started clearing up. I am experiencing some side effects but I plan to continue to stay on the pill, hoping that my body will get used to it, and the side effects will fade away.

My period was very light, and I experienced less cramping than before taking the pill.

Some side effects: I feel depressed during the first week (while I'm on the white pills), and then this goes away, then my breasts get HUGE and hurt a lot. I can not stand moving without wearing bras. The tenderness and pain are awful."


"I use Dextrostat for adult ADHD and have found it to be very effective in controlling my symptoms without any adverse effects."


"I have had IBS d every single day for 8 years. Started viberzi 100mg 2x a day works most days and every so often I will have an "attack" overall though it is hands down the best medication perscription or over the counter I have ever tried"


"I started taking Wellbutrin about two weeks ago.  The first week was fine, but on the second week my blood pressure became elevated along with uncontrollable muscle tremors, trouble concentrating, overheating in my face, difficulty concentration and speaking, dry mouth, sweating, and headaches. I had to quit taking it."


"Used as directed and not sure it did much, truthfully. I have been having bio-identical estrogen and testosterone implants and that does seem to be very effective. Also, OTC  product called Luvena (Restorative Vaginal Moisturizer, pH balanced) is super effective and doesn't cause the stinging and break through bleeding of Estrace. Luvena is significantly cheaper than insanely over priced Estrace ($300 or a $72 co-pay). Really, Estrace should cost about $15 and not the criminally high price it is
Bottom line: Not a fan of Estrace and certainly not worth the $72 co-pay for stinging and bleeding for me at ten years post menopause."


"I'm currently on Saphris, I just starting working for the first time in 3 years.  Ive been on Saphris about 10 months.  2 days ago I woke up and had white canker sores in my mouth, tingling lips.  This drug is so great,  can take it and wake up 6 hours later and not feel tired all day."


"I was looking forward to trying Latuda however in the month that I took it, the side effects were too much for me.  I could not sleep, I was restless,  irritable, argumentative - basically not pleasant to be around.  And it made my muscles ache so bad I could hardly walk.  It wasn't for me.  Good luck!"


"I went from being extremely angry and so anxious I couldn't leave the house, to now being able to go out in public, socialize with others, and live life. I feel much happier, have more energy, and am MUCH more pleasant to be around."


"Dont get on depo unless u want spotting for the rest of your life, can cause breast cancer doctors can't reverse it causes infertility after shot is given it does more harm to your body then it does good."


"Seemed to work within 3 hours a little constipated muscle twitches and soreness"


"My daughter was put on Keppra when she was 14 months old & she walked like she was drunk after she started on it.  The doctor said not to ever give her Keppra again!!"


"Had 3 shots still hurt somewhat for two weeks, took some Sulindac once a day. I can play golf again."


"I was depressed and sad with no motivation. I had suffered several losses and could not seem to recover. Developed anxiety.  I just wanted to be my carefree busy self again. My Dr gave me 100mg Welbutrin.  I took it for a few weeks and felt just weird, not better.  My Dr suggested I double the dose.  ! I took 200mg and immediately felt suicidal. My bf had to restrain me from jumping out the window or slicing my throat. The mist awful feeling of my life. But I learned that compared to that feeling, I wasn't that depressed and I went on trazadone for sleeping issues. Helped greatly. As  well as strenuous exercise an hour a day.  I'm sure some meds work, but I feel as if you are playing Russian Roulette with your life."


"Celexa gave me my life back! I was going through a hard time and slowly but surely hit a wall with depression and anxiety and wasn't able to handle it. I wasn't sleeping or even able to eat, I felt alone and so far from myself. I'd never been on an antidepressant before so Celexa was the first and I had looked up all the side effects and was really scared to take it. Don't let the side effects or horror stories fool you. This medicine does help, it takes time to see the results but it does help."


"Levlen is a product I have used for the last three years in order to regulate my periods (I have amenorrhea). Without the aid of hormones, I do not have a proper cycle and therefore have been on "versions" of the pill since fifteen. Levlen is just as good as any, and (for me) the contraceptive ability is an added bonus."


"I am a renal patient so PPI are no good for me, I take 150 Zantac daily and it does NOTHING for my GERD, I'm at a loss I'm told I have to just "deal" with it."


"29/f with anxiety and depression, I have only taken this medicine once, I took it at night as prescribed by the doctor, woke up at 3 a.m. crawling out of my skin! I threw up twice, my pupils were dilated I was sweating, shaking uncontrollably and couldn't sleep. I imagine this is what meth feels like?! I started to have incredibly bad anxiety bad thoughts and images, my brain felt like it was screaming. this medicine is awful. It's now 10am, I'm still jittery, i feel super sick, can't eat, I feel awful."


"I'm into week three of of six of effudex all over my chest after living in the tropics for 45 years. I have been told to use it on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening before bed. By Saturday it is so painful and itchy, but quietens down Sunday, Monday until I have to start again. I can't imagine what it must be like using it twice a day for 6 weeks. I'm using Aloe Vera in the mornings which calms the itching. Now I am getting scabs and dry skin and having a hard time keeping my fingers away from picking at it. Last time I used it daily on a patch on my face and was left with a red patch for nearly two years. I'm wondering whether some of you are suffering unnecessarily from effudex being over prescribed. I live in the UK and don't have to pay much"


"A friend told me about this and after picking up GoLightly, I called my doctor who said they don't prescribe because of cost.  I was expecting up to $150 and even though I only paid $36, I would have paid $150.

The only issue I had was it took 4.5 hours to begin working.  It was so easy, that I thought I wasn't cleaned out enough!!!  My dr recommended taking it at 2PM and 6PM, then 1/2 bottle of magnesium citrate at 8PM.  By 11:30, I was done ad had a good rest.  Others recommended dulcolax ahead of time, but my doctor didn't.  Compared to my last experience 10 years ago (Oral Fleet ?, which was taken off the market and disgusting), the last of Prepopik was a pleasure...tasted like Tang.  It was a slow prep, but it did the job!!!"


"CURRENTLY on rifampin therapy along with ethambutol, zithromax, IV amikacin and prilosec for the MAC. experiencing numerous side effects to include diarrhea, nausea, intermittent episodes of severe vomiting, extreme fatigue,  headaches (almost all the time), dizziness, double vision, generalized body aches, and severe cramps in my extremities. It is hard to tell which drug is the culprit.  I have experienced two incidences of elevated liver enzymes, which have returned back to within normal limits so far. At this point in my therapy, there has been no documented improvement, but I am told to expect it to take up to two years of therapy for a cure.  I will update my experience as time progresses."


"I have started taking Adipex 5 days ago and I have lost eight pounds already. This is a wonderful drug. I have been on and off of it for years. You can lose weight very fast with this pill. It really works if you want to lose weight. You may experience dry mouth. You don't feel hungry, you have to make yourself eat. I haven't been doing any kind of workouts, but plan to start. I go back to my doctor 8-26-10. She said that I would have to lose 6 pound if I want to get more. I started out at 187 and now I am 179."


"Kerydin worked REALLY well. It actually did manage to finally clear up a persistent toenail fungal infection that nothing else had worked on.

It was unbelievably expensive (better than $500/bottle). The manufacturer provided a coupon card for a year's worth of medication, but by all reports it requires the patient to use this topical medication for up to 48 months to finally clear up an infection for good.

So, after the first year, the price jumped back up to unaffordable, and the infection came returned because the treatment wasn't finished.

The medication was working, but $6,000/year for the medication after the coupon expires is so much more than I can afford, so I can't complete the treatment."


"I am on meds for depression and they're working. Thank God. Anxiety is an issue,  so my psychiatrist prescribed gabapentin,  300mg. The suggested dosage is one, 4x per day. I don't do that but instead take it when I'm feeling anxious and it works like a charm. Plus it helps me fall and stay asleep. Am hungrier but I can control that. Great medication."


"I got the Nexplanon implant put in November 24th so it's almost been a month since using it. I must say I've been extremely emotional since using it (even though I was emotional before) but my emotions seem to be stronger now. I haven't gotten any cramps or any pains. I did get my first period while on nexplanon and it seemed regular was very light at first and became moderate as the days went on it made my period last longer (I hope this changes). My PMS symptoms were off the charts though and my boyfriend was not liking that, but other than some emotional symptoms it seems to do its job and I haven't had any other problems other than that."


"This medicine is truly foul,, drinking it was far worse then any of the bowel movements that followed but then I never drink fruit flavoured drinks at the best of times or add salt to my food so for me that was the hardest part so far. Drank it through a straw each glass lasting up to 15 mins and then rewarding my self with a 10 min break. Smothered my bottom in Bepanthen nappy cream recommend by the pharmacy at every opportunity and did not experience any soreness. For me it did exactly what it said on the tin. Should be ready to go and as clean as a whistle for my appointment this afternoon. I think it helped by sticking to the suggested food lists and not eating vast amounts after all what goes in has to come out."


"I've suffered for over 20 years with PTSD in addition to ADD, so my adrenal system is shot. My fight or flight is 0-100 with anger at times so severe I've received felony charges. I witnessed a horrific murder, was raped and held at gunpoint with my baby daughter for over a week. My trauma was so severe I had and still have memory loss. I believed I was dead for over 5 years and had a memory of me being shot. What I want to say about this medication is it saved my life, I've been on it for about 6 months and it works. I am going to see about taking it during the day as well...I wish you all the best of luck and pray you remain strong through your battle with PTSD."


"I am 20 years old and have been on Vyvanse 50mg for about 4 months now. I find this medication has helped me a lot. I've tried others but nothing can compare to this. I never finished high school but since I started taking Vyvanse I have switched my life around. I started school and am making high marks. This medication has changed my life for the better."


"I have been taking citalopram for 6 weeks now. 10mg for anxiety and panic attacks. Side effects yawning, sweats, increased anxiety. I was VERY scared to start taking them. I had them for 4 months before I plucked up the courage. I take in the morning. Only just starting to see an improvement in the anxiety. Haven't had a panic attack since starting the meds. This is the first medicine I have ever taken. I have an appointment at docs next week when I think he will increase dose to 20mg which is normal dose. My anxiety is severe. The week before I began the meds I couldn't leave the house. This last week I have been shopping, cinema, hair salon. Still having trouble sleeping. All other side effects only lasted 10 days. I am happy to be on them."


"I definitely recommend Adapalene Gel. I have had acne for the past 3-5 years. I am 29.  I never had acne like this before this time period. I was skeptical at first but now I can leave the house without trying to unsuccessfully cover my redness, scarring, and pimples. The scarring is still there but it is faint. There are only 2 small negatives I experienced while taking it ...1. When my face sweats (wearing a hat, being in a hot room, or working out) it just burns badly. 2. When I started it my face felt like it was on fire a lot.  Initially. I switched to every other day when using it. Now I use it before bed w CeraVe  moisturizer. I only use 1 PEA size for my entire face.  Don't over do it.  It'll help you just need to be patient. :)"


"This 1-day product did not work. It says day or night but I didn't really believe it so when I used it in the morning on a day off, I spent the next few hours laying on the couch watching Hulu as to let it work its magic. After a few hours, I got up to go pee and all of the medicine came out. I thought maybe that was supposed to happen. Two days later I still had a full on yeast infection. Got the 3-day treatment and used it at night. Worked like a charm."


"I had an horrible experience with this pill. My now husband and I have been together going on 7 years this Aug 2017. While we were dating. We did slip one time during Thanksgiving 2010. Thankfully CVS/Walgreens was open for us to go get the pill. I wasn't ready to be a mama and he just had his 3rd child in Jan. that same year. This pill is crap!!! Two weeks after I took the pill I had a extremely heavy cycle... To the point that I had to go home from work... Was unable to walk or anything.. And that was the last time I ever had a cycle... Jan. 2, 2017... I finally started to get a cycle... After almost 7 years without one... I have spoken to doctors about it and they didn't know what was wrong.. Please be careful with this pill..."


"After the first 3 days of taking it it worked for a week. I went from a very nasty snappy man to calm and commutative. That last for about 2 wks. Now my partner says im back to being nasty and rude. Careless and snappy. Im tired all the time. Its not helping! I started at 30mg they put me up to 60mg now im back to 30mg"


"I've had mirena now for 10 days. I started spoting 2 hrs after the placement but my Dr told me I might bleed for up to 4-6 after placement. I've only had 1 really bad night where I cramped so bad it woke me up n I had to take meds. As time goes on I notice less bleeding and no cramps. I'm happy with the mirena so far."


"It did drop my blood pressure, but within 2 days I felt nauseated, tired, and got cramps. I explained to the doctor it was like having a hangover times 10 without the benefits the night before. I am about to try Bystolic 5mg."


"I was 21 when I got it and removed it after a year. The insertion wasn't bad but the side effects were terrible. I went from no cramps to cramping often. Periods were 2 weeks spotting, 1 week HEAVY FLOW. I couldn't wear tampons as they would immediately leak. It filled a thick pad within 1-2 hours. Constant embarrassment when going out because I would somehow always leak, and it ruined some vacations as I couldn't swim while on my period. I dealt with this nightmare of only having 1 week/month without a period for a year, thinking my period would go back to normal after 6 months, it never did. My bf could also feel the string poking him when we had sex, which sucked. It may work for some but I definitely would not recommend it."


"I am 27 years old I have had kidney stones while in labor had a c-section and was diagnosed with cluster headaches the most severe pain you will ever know but my chronic back pain takes the win. Those pains go away I might be in excruciating pain for a couple of days put my degenerate disc disease, sciatica and adult scoliosis is none stop pain my doctor prescribed me gabapentin 300mg 3× a day but I been on it for 2 months now and all it does is make me want to sleep has not taking any pain away and I have 2 kids I can't sleep all day even know my pain makes me want to stay in bed I can't.My doctor has done the epidural steriod injection no relief but galabpentin just gives me bad side effects."


"My original experience with Zoloft was over ten years ago, during a serious depressive episode - it seemed to be effective as a stabilizer.  This past December, a doctor prescribed it again to help pull me out of another down-turn.  Within the course of a month I progressed from severe depression to ultradian mood cycling, which resulted in a nervous breakdown.  The cycling abated within a couple weeks of discontinued treatment with Zoloft. "


"My doctor prescribed me singulair after my allergy test results came back. Went straight to reviews and seeing so many bad reviews I got worried. I have a history of anxiety and panic attack and people were stating it's only getting worse when you take singular. I even rang my doctor saying I'm really afraid to take them but he politely asked me to give them a go. Not only my allergies settled down and symptoms were really bad I must say. I got back my sense of smell, I could breathe through my nose again, my sleeping patterns improved a lot ( some people experienced nightmares after taking singular, in my case I finally could sleep through the night having nicest dreams ever)Anxiety and panic attacks went away. In my case it did wonders"


"I got the shot because I thought that I was pregnant and when my doctor told me I wasn't she told me that I should get on the depo shot because my periods were always heavy. And my cramps were always bad. She told me that the depo shot would stop me from getting pregnant and would also stop me from getting period. So of course I agreed because not getting your periods is like a dream. It went well for about two weeks and then on November 23rd  came on my period at first it was light then the next few days it got very heavy and the cramps are even worse. I'm still on my period and its been two weeks now. I've gained weight and attitude has gotten worse. Me and my boyfriend argue almost everyday. and sex? who wants to have sex on their period"


"Wow!"


"I definitely recommend Mirena.  I have used it for 5 years, and just got my old one taken out, and the new one in.  My period was nonexistent within the first 3 months, after some initial irregular spotting.  I have used birth control pills and the Depo shot in the past, and I had tons of side effects from both, so Mirena is a welcome change.  The only downside for me was a couple of ovarian cysts within the first year, which have not come back.  The insertion was extremely painful for me both times, with severe cramping for hours afterwards, but totally worth it."


"I was given this for migraines. I can't blame my doctor for prescribing this about 7 months ago when I told her I was a raging maniac who was blowing up faster than a ballon at a carnival on Seasonique....but as a result I have gained a disgusting amount of weight. My bra size went from a 34D to a 34F! Nothing fits comfortably on the top or bottom because my bottom grew as well. How is it natural to get your period for one day or not at all? The worst is I have LOST MY SEX DRIVE."


"I tried Celebex for degenerative disc disease, and for pain associated with upper back surgery (spinal fusion). It didn't work well. And because I was in a stressful profession my doctors worried about heart issues associated with Celebrex. I changed to Norco 7.5/325 5 years ago and it has worked very well along with physical therapy. I'm a 53 year old male."


"I was scared out of my wits to take this antibiotic after reading these reviews but I am here to put your minds at ease. I'm highly allergic to penicillin & NSAIDs (Ibuprofen) so I have wicked medication anxiety when it comes to taking anything new. I had to take this for 5 days & I was warned when I received this medication that it would cause dizziness, nausea, upset stomach, and loose stools.  Which is all I experienced with this pill. On the first day I had nausea, upset stomach, & diarrhea, the second day I had nausea & dizziness, on the 3rd day I had nausea, upset stomach, & diarrhea. The every other day of symptoms pattern continued the whole time I took this. Make sure you have a full stock of toilet paper at home. Pill tastes nasty"


"I have taken Apri for about ten years now.  The pill has helped with my acne, migraines, period regularity, and cramping.  I have not had any side effects.  No depression, weight gain, loss of sex drive, or any other negative side effects.  I also have not gotten pregnant, so the pill is doing its job!"


"Never again......

At first the injections worked great, but after round 4, I can't walk, I can't work.

Next time I join the titanium club and replace the knees.

Never again."


"last 15 tears of taking Klonopin have been a total improvement of my quality of life. and an improvement in anxiety to the point where I am like the friendliest guy in town so to speak. where as before taking Klonopin I had severe social  phobia . as a result the stress was definetly related to making me get cancer at 40 years of age. it works. buspar and all the other more popular anti anxiety meds did not work and I don't want to stop taking Klonopin.

"I take Allegra for allergies, but was still having side effects.  Flonase was added to my regime, and now I have no more runny, itchy nose, itchy ears and eyes, or sneezing."


" I purchased this medicine earlier today thinking it would be easier and cheaper to buy then trying to contact my doctor or setting up.an appt only to still have to pick up the prescription. Boy was i wrong! I purchased the 1 day oval. The iching is brutal! It made me want to tear my vagina off or stab it a million times to.make it stop. The burning is just as bad. Its so inflamed! Do Not Buy this Product"
