"I have a A1C 0f 6.2. I am 265 pounds. I just started Bydureon yesterday my Dr. office gave me the  first one free and I  gave myself the first injection. I have had some mild nausea. I have not had the desire to eat very much and in fact went to bed without eating any dinner, had an overall odd full feeling. I am nervous because I have seen so many reviews of people that had a lot of nausea and vomiting, so far so good but it still worries me. I really want to lose weight and feel better."


"I am 29 and just diagnosed with Bipolar after a horrible manic depression cycle. Its worked great to stablize my moods but I'm scared after reading everyone's weight gain stories! I will have to hitch up my diet and exercise plan more. One thing I noticed that I didn't see anyone else write is that I have these horrible and extremely vivid dreams - they seem to be my fears realized. But they are so vivid and real that they hang over me all day. Has anyone else experienced this?"


"I've been on Wellbutrin for about four weeks to ease my social anxiety issues. I have never taken anti-depressants before so I had no idea what to expect. I'm glad the first week is over because it was very euphoric, which I did not enjoy. I had to take a nap around 4:00 p.m. the first day. The second week was not euphoric at all and I feel back to my old self again. Gratitude all around."


"Got hospitalized. upped to 10mg morning and evening. This dose has helped my symptoms. I've had blackouts, and panic attacks and sex problems with every other atypical out there. Zyprexa is great. Only negative is gaining weight fast, while being slightly sedating, which makes it harder to exercise."


"I personally do not advise keytruda to anyone. I had a love one walk into the oncologist to receive this treatment and three weeks later she was wheeled back into the oncologists office, unable to walk her body was falling apart thanks to this atrocious treatment. Five weeks have gone by and she is currently laying in a hospital bed in the middle of her living room unresponsive and is thought to pass away within the next three days. Please keep loved ones away from it."


"I've had a sweating problem since the 4th grade. I am currently going to be a Freshman in high school. Everyone always asked me why my armpits are so wet, I was completely embarrassed. Finally, we asked the doctor and she recommended Hypercare. I started using it, but I didn't listen to the instructions and used my regular deodorant; mistake. It wasn't working and I was discouraged that I wouldn't ever stop sweating. Then, I stopped using my regular deodorant and right now, I'm dry. I totally recommend Hypercare, amazing!"


"I have had a large variety of problems with birth control. My first bc, Tri Linyah, depressed me to no extent, gave me mega cramps, heavy periods and made me feel sick everyday. I switched to Falmina after being on that for 6 months and it was amazing how normal I felt again. My mood swings were under control and I could fully function theough my day without have to feel ill. I recently have been switched to Orsythia and, even though it's only been a month on it, I can tell it's leading right to depression. I'm switching back to Falmina immediately. I wanted to share my experience because Falmina was a god send for me and I wanted to give more insight than the negative reviews gave. Everyone responds differently. Find what works for you :)"


"There are few drugs these days, developed for something useful and Provigil and Nuvigil are most useful for those of us with shift work disorder."


"I had my second colonoscopy at age 61, this time with Propofol (Diprivan) and it went much better than the first one ten years earlier with a different sedative (when I woke up in the middle of the procedure in considerable pain).  It was injected into an IV in the back of my right hand and I was literally out like a light in about ten seconds.  The next thing I knew I was in the recovery room and I couldn't believe it was over.  The only side effects were a sore throat (I had on an oxygen mask so that may have been a contributing factor) and very low blood pressure for about thirty minutes afterwards."


"If you have Asthma and a chest cold, Combivent clears the mucus from your airways so you can breathe. I only gave it 9 out of 10 because it tastes AWFUL!"


"My Doctor added 20mg Latuda four weeks ago after prescribing 20mg Paxil two weeks earlier for my Depression and Anxiety . I was nervous about it, but the results have been great. My racing anxious thoughts stopped and my suicidal ideation also went away. I seem to have better energy and am more motivated. My life is greatly improving on this combo. My anxiety has been reduced by 90% also. I take both of these meds in the evening and sleep great. The only side effect I noticed was some vivid, crazy dreams the first 3 nights on the Latuda. I also have reduced libido but I suspect the Paxil for that."


"One of the few anti-depressants I can tolerate. Most cause major sleep disorders, But with Prozac I don't have a problem. Not really sure if it helps much with panic attacks, I've tried 20mg and 40mg, sometime 40 mg seems to be a bit much."


"Immediately felt a lot better taking this.  After a couple of weeks now I have been feeling some kinesia-related issues: sore joints, sore muscles, but I'm not exactly sure it correlates to this medicine because my activity level is varied also. It helps voices and conspiracies chill out.  But maybe that's exactly what "they" want! But I have felt immediately better, but am concerned about long-term effects considering the sudden onset of other symptoms.  I have been nothing but tired lately too, while I've been getting more sleep and sleeping earlier also.
This is something I need to address with my doctors and it does seem like a medicine that does have need for monitoring of the effects. I'd rather not be on it very long."


"I have been using Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 2 and a half years. Have experienced racing heart, panic attacks constant mood swings. I get upset and cry over something little, gained about 4 pounds, boobs did get bigger though and I haven't become pregnant, so that's a plus."


"After an 8 week cold, 3 weeks a of bad cough and generally feeling under the weather and out of breath even on the gentlest of slopes, I went to the doctor who diagnosed bronchitis. I was put on a 5 day course of Clarithromycin 500 mg pills and a 10 day burst of Prednisalone starting at 30 mg. Even after one antibiotic I felt relief. I had no side effects whatsoever. I maybe should mention I have an autoimminune disease, PMR, and take a very low dose of steroids and also Omezrapol (a gastric resistant capsule prescribed for people taking steroids). I live in Scotland where all prescriptions are free."


"I just got the copper IUD removed after having it for 7 months. I am normally a really positive person with a happy demeanor and I am convinced that the copper IUD threw me into depression and anxiety. I have NEVER had depression or anxiety, and every month my moods got worse, I would cry almost everyday, I would snap at my bf or family for the smallest thing, and I felt rage almost all the time. I was trying to figure out if something else in my life was affecting me, I even went to my therapist and a depression care specialist. I finally read some reviews on the copper IUD and depression and it seems pretty common. Drs will tell you it's not the IUD but please trust your intuition. I also had yeast infection & BV almost every month because of IUD."


"I'm on month 3 & at first I had no side effects because I had just got off the depo shot. But this month I'm having mood swings.. My face is breaking out & I've always had nice clear skin & so far I've been bleeding 8 days straight & cramping every day as well which I've Never done!! I'm seriously thinking about getting off this pill or taking nothing at all I'm tired of all these toxins in my body doing me harm!"


"I have had severe psoriasis for 22 years. Last year I developed psoriatic arthritis too. The pain was debilitating and made dealing with my skin even harder. It took doctors 6 mth  to prescribe Stelara but once I got it, I got my life back. I've only had 2 jabs but I feel fantastic and my skin us 100% improved. A wonder drug for me. I pray to God it doesn't fail like Humira and Cosentyx. Good luck to all of you suffering with these horrific disease's"


"I have been taking Lexapro for about 3 months.  I started off taking 10mg per day but I felt like it wore off throughout the day and my energy level would drop.  My doctor upped the dosage to 20mg and I definitely noticed a difference - my mood doesn't drop during the day.  I don't feel sad, I can actually concentrate now.  I haven't had any side effects, in fact it's even helped me sleep better.  As for the anxiety, I think it is helping because I'm not as worried about everything all the time but I still feel very stressed out in social situations.  I'm in therapy as well so that might help me learn to control the fear.  Life shouldn't feel so dire and impossible.  Lexapro helped me see this."


"I have been on Lamictal for seven years (300 mg morning and  200 mg in the evening). I had been on Topamax before but my neurologist switched because of side effects.  After the switch, my amount of seizures increased dramatically to about 5 per month and I was having them without any warning.  It was as if I was not on any medication! I have always been controlled with medicines. The neurologist refused to believe it was from the Lamictal and kept saying it was because my body had to adjust to the change in medicine. After about 6 months, a doctor at a different hospital put me on Keppra in addition to the Lamictal.  I have only had one seizure since. "


"I had taken Buspar many years ago until one day I decided I just didn't need it anymore and stopped taking it, no weaning, no withdrawal. Now I'm back on it again and will stay on it until I feel that way again. It took a couple weeks, and a few days of depression, before it took hold but I have never experienced any side effects. In fact the only thing I feel is that I am thinking positively, rather than looking for a boogey-man in everything. Just a natural feeling of health. Recently the doctor tried something else because of poor sleep and gave me lorazepam, which made my arms and legs feel heavy and I slept for 12 hours, and then diazepam which did nothing much but dampened my feelings and sleep was worse. I'll stay with Buspar."


"I've been on this birth control for 2 years now and I love it. It is the only birth control I've ever been on and it has not made me gain weight or any of the "usual"  side effects. The only thing I can say is I don't like is that I don't get a period every month. It comes about every 3-5 months. Which sometimes can be very frightening when you have an accident and sometimes birth control does fail but luckily Loestrin 24 hasn't failed me yet."


"I started Nucynta 100mg 3x/day because I have severe back problems. Norcos/Vicodin were not working. First day I was on it, it took about an hour to kick in (about 12am I got my prescription at 11pm). I had had bizarre/violent dreams. I took it before work (I didn't drive) and I have a desk job. I spent most of the day drooling. Day 2 great night sleep, no bizarre dreams fell asleep no problem. Went to work and was hot and sweaty (the office was at 69 degrees and it was raining), worst dry mouth you could imagine. No appetite and drank a ton of water. Day 3 diarrhea, sweaty, no appetite. As for the pain management it worked better than Vicodin but I still feel a burning."


"I started taking abilify about 2 weeks ago for severe anxiety and that combined with 200mg of zoloft has me feeling better then I have in a long time. thank God"


"Worst pain I have ever felt. Burning and itching. If I had a choice I'd take back the infection.
Thank God for ice packs and cool damp cloths.
Do not buy this product."


"So, I was put on this as nothing else worked and I had hideous night sweats on the usual meds. This one seems to have taken the edge of me but I am fat as hell and that makes me depressed too! I monitor what I eat, go to the gym, but I am stuck at 13 stone and I'm usually no more than 10 :-( I'm always hungry and now seem to want to sleep for 15 hours or more. I work from home so I am lucky in that I can fall out of bed and land in a heap on the sofa and start my day.. Only trouble is that I ache a lot and want to sleep all the time. My energy is low and my desire to do anything is also very low. I feel suicidal a few times a week which is better than every minute of the day, but I still feel like a misfit in the world :-("


"After being treated on 4 antipsychotics and two mood stabilizers for bipolar hypo manic disorder I have never felt better in 10 years

 Currently on seroquel 400mg XR  ( Three tablets at bedtime) take 1 to 2 mg Klonipin daily as needed. Never felt better. Tried other sleep aids like trazadone and other tcas. Nothing. Best with klonipin because of no cravings of physical need because half life long and one doesn't get a high off klonopin because very slow onset."


"I had shortness of breath and chest pains right side, doctor sent for X-rays. Called next day and told me I had pneumonia of left lung. It's been 5 days now and I slept throughout the night yesterday for 1st time in a week,
chest pains still there but less intense. After 10 days on medicine I am going back for X-rays. So far so good."


"I gave the medication a 5 because it did curb my food cravings really well.  The first week, I was elated that the medication was effective, and I lost 5 lbs in the first week. The second week, I woke up at 10 pm one night with shortness of breath, heart racing, nauseated, and weird sensations that started in the temples of my head and swept through my body (felt as if I was leaving my body).  I was driving in to work the next morning, and the same sensation occurred (much stronger than the night before).  I ended up pulling over and calling 911. 3 ER visits, one hospitalization, several cardiac tests, and now on to a neurologist because the "sensations" still occur 8 weeks after stopping Contrave. Disappointed & broke!"


"I had only taken this a short time and my thumb muscles collapsed. I immediately quit, but I could not close my hand or make a fist.

I now have carpal tunnel and I am experiencing back muscle and nerve problems.

I think my heart muscle may have been affected. This is horrid. A case where the cure is worse than the disease!!!!!!"


"To anyone thinking about the getting the Mirena.... expect to bleed for weeks afterwards but don't be worried. I've had mine for 3 years now and haven't had a period in 2 years. I've spotted once or twice but my periods weren't bad in the first place. Everyone's different. The insertion was PAINFUL and at first I bleed for 4-6 weeks with bad cramps. It was horrible but I'm glad I stuck it out. The piece of mind I get from such an effective birth control was worth the rough beginning."


"Started using this less than a week ago.  I've done test inj in the past and worked out and got dramatic results.  Now that I'm older (48), my test is low, 208, my Dr prescribed Androgel, but insurance only covers Testim.  Personally, I think it smells like Lysol.  I am feeling better but hate the application process and the stickiness off my skin afterward.  If my levels don't bump up on my next round of blood tests, I'm going to go to a urologist and see about getting the pellets put in."


"I started up on 250mg and ended up at 1500mg.  I noticed very subtle effects if any.  Hard to remember, I went through a lot and was on Seroquel also at the time.  Seemed to have a slight calming effect.  However after time it raised my liver enzymes and lowered my platelet count (which is a potential side effect)  So I went off of it.  I don't have many hypomanic episodes and never a manic episode so I don't know why my dose got that high.  Didn't notice anything significant.  Gained 20 lbs, made me sick and tired.  Wasn't for me."


"I have allergies and asthma.  Patanase is the key to preventing sinus infections that I used to get two times every year like clockwork plus my asthma that gets triggered when my sinuses are bad and on Patanase, I improved dramatically.

The generic version works for me for about 30 minutes and then my sinuses swell shut again.  When my insurance company insisted I use it and I got a three month supply, it was a miserable three months of stuffiness, asthma attacks and here came the sinus infections again.

So now I shell out $170 every three months to get the real stuff that actually works.

I would rate the generic a zero if I could."


"I've had the Implanon since January of 2011 and all I've done is bled everyday ever since I got it. I'm moody, mean, rude, have no energy I'm tired all the time and have no sex drive at all and I've gained about 20 lbs. I'm a totally different person now than what I was before I got it put in. I'm on antidepressants and anxiety medicines since I've gotten the Implanon in. The doctors told me that taking the pill and having the Implanon would make the bleeding stop but it just made it worse. I'm getting the Implanon taken out. "


"Works good for some anxiety but it caused me to be tired and sleepy. I slept a lot while on this and was still depressed."


"So far so good. This is the only medicine I have been on for depression but have had depression and anxiety for years. I feel it has really helped. I was also given Xanax for anxiety but feel I don't even have to really take it because Pristiq is helping with that too. I lost a lot of weight but finally have an appetite again after not having one because of weeks of depression. I recommend anyone try this. It definitely made me feel better, more energy and a happier state of being. Only side effect so far is a little trouble sleeping, clenched jaw sometimes and nausea when you first start but that went away once I ate something."


"Tried the brand name a while back and had FULL SCALE hallucinations and memory loss.  Being a nurse, I believed there was no difference between generic and brand, but after 15 years of chronic TERRIBLE insomnia, I gave the generic a try.  While I didn't have the horrid side effects, 10mg will put me to sleep well, but not stay asleep.  The controlled release helps me stay asleep, but it takes hours to fall asleep.  My doc prescribed 5mg of the immediate and 6.25 controlled, and as long as I don't use it every day (taking a day off here and there which kills me) it works for about 4-5 hours of sleep, which depending on how desperate you are is plenty.  Plus the price can't be beat."


"I realized it's been about 6 days since my last bowel motion.  I took this around 1:00 pm today so I wouldn't have to lose any sleep or deal with it tomorrow at work.  I took it with a swig of water and about 45 minutes later started reading these reviews.  Immediately, I started drinking water and got about 40 ounces down within an hour or so.  I started getting very gassy with very mild cramps around 4:00.  Between 5 and 6pm I passed some soft stool a few times, but knew it wasn't the end based on how long I had went without a bowel motion.  I had a bowl of cereal around 8:00 and by 8:30 I was passing pretty frequently.  I only had extremely mild cramps and a couple hot flashes.  Be sure to drink your water."


"Had the implanon for 5 months
What I experienced was bleeding every day and that I had to wear a tampon everyday for 5 months.
I didn't even know when I had my period because it was like I had my period everyday.
Makes your face break out, weight gain, and my sex drive disappeared.

If I would have read these reviews I never would have got it.

The removal procedure was also extremely painful

I would not recommend anyone taking this as there are much better ways

It is not worth it at all"


"After having tried four previous drops, my doctor gave me Zioptan and my pressures came down immediately. My eyes are extremely dry , so I also have to use liquid tears every two hours."


"I have had psoriasis for about 15 years and it has progressed over the years to covering about 20% of my body with severe scalp coverage.  I had been on cremes, sprays, pills, etc with no good long term results (and at best just halting its path forward but not reversing it). After 2 weeks on Humira I could see a difference. I am at the 3 month stage and the flaking patches are gone and most of the smaller patches are completely gone. The heavy large patches on my legs , torso only have a slight discoloration now. It works and its easy."


"I've had mostly positive experiences with Omeprazole and much prefer them over H2-receptor antagonists like Ranitidine. I was working a 5 day a week job but GERD meant I was only capable of working 2-3 of those days. Within a week of starting PPI therapy I was working the full week and within a couple of months felt fit and healthy enough to take on overtime to the tune of 13 days on shift, 1 day off. I've read about things such as calcium, magnesium, iron and vitamin b12 deficiency so I take supplements to boost those levels and stave off any unwanted, long term side effects. As far as short term side effects go I've had some minor constipation from it, some minor aversion to light and a couple of tension headaches in the first 2 months."


"I have been fighting cystic acne for years and finally decided to see a dermatologist who prescribed Onexton. It took about two weeks and my cystic acne has cleared completely. I'm also taking Doryx daily. I had no issues with irritation from using the cream daily. I use coconut oil as a moisturizer which seems to work well. I've been using a  mineral SPF since all the other cream sunblocks seem to cause breakouts."


"since starting this medication, my breathing ha improved immeasurably. i can workout harder and with more energy.its a great product. getting fewer colds and phlegm."


"I began this medication 6 weeks ago I read reviews first and thought wow this might work . over the last 10 years I have lost 135 lbs through diet and exercise , I am recovering from an injury and can't workout with the intesity I was had so I began this drug didn't notice any side effects or loss of appetite, the next week I increased the dosage with no results either , from reading reviews I thought what's wrong with me that it doesn't work I increased the third week only to feel sick , and thought I don't want to feel this way I rarely put reviews up but I want people to know it's not just them it didn't work for others as well"


"I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis Jan 10, 2012. Since being on Copaxone for one year, I haven't noticed any change in my symptoms.  I have noticed they come every three months instead of monthly. Haven't seen a neurologist yet and hope no new lesions.  I will say that I have experienced hair loss.  I have never had a problem with hair loss other than cutting it off myself, but this has been on-going.  At first I had the indentions, but was told by a MS nurse to try getting a massage.  And that I have done.  I get a massage on a weekly basis and it has taken the indentions away and it relaxes me. I have hope this medicine works for me."


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD in 1st grade. He's now in 6th. We've tried so many meds...Concerta, Intuniv, Focalic, Metasomethingoranother, and more. The stimulants caused massive mood swings. And the other stuff just didn't work well either. He's now on Kapvay, the generic form of it, and so far, so good. He takes .1 mg in the morning and we just increased evening to .2mg. The only trouble we've had is sleep. He falls asleep but wakes up by 4am. And then, doesn't fall back to sleep until 6 but has to be awake by 7:30. So, right now, he's texting me to bring him coffee. Not sure what to do about the lack of sleep but I'm really happy with how he's responding otherwise. The mood swings have lessened. Now they just seem tween-typical."


"I don't have acne any more and it made my face so clear that everyone asks me what did I do to my face."


"I just stated this medication (maybe 2 and a half weeks) and wow!
Let me give some background info (18, Male, acne prone/drier than normal skin type, shade and use makeup on the daily)

I tried everything from spot treatments and epiduo (which worked for a couple of months but the purging periods were long and horrible! I highly do not recommend tropical treatments) I tried 2 other oral meds before this one and none worked but there omg! My skin is soft and a even skin tone color!
! And it's only been half a month imagine for months to come! I'm so excited and finally confident in my skin. I would truly recommend this medication before opting out to do something like acutane.
Also I have not had any side effects my stats are 17, 5'7 125lbs"


"Worked better than infusions and other oral prescriptions .   I have seronegative RA"


"I was diagnosed with Cervical Dystonia after months of pain and a few years of wondering what was happening to me. It came to the point where I was depressed and exhausted all of the time and felt things would never ever get better for me. After different medicines, physical therapy and acupuncture I finally was sent to a Neurologist who confirmed my Dystonia and started Botox injections. The first treatment had no effect as they had to start with a small dose so one vile. I had to wait 2.5 months before I could receive another treatment and at that point was given 3 viles. I finally found relief and got my life back. My Dystonia will probably forever affect me but with the Botox I can barely notice it. It is truly a medical miracle that this works."


"I've had my Mirena in for about 3 days now. Insertion was absolutely awful. Hurt so, so badly, I even jumped. The cramping afterwards was dreadful as well. I'm 18 and weigh 100 pounds and have never had a child so this could have a lot to do with the excruciating pain I felt. Slight cramping today, nothing unbearable though. Highly recommend requesting off work a couple days after insertion, I had to leave work the second day because of the cramping. Love the fact that you don't have to think about taking the pill everyday though. The strings are a little weird at first considering my doctor never told me about them. Sex after insertion was not painful at all!! Actually felt better! And my boyfriend said the strings had no interference!"


"I started off with 25mg for my anxiety & dep. for two weeks and then upped my dose to 50mg First couple of days I felt high anxiety  (probably because I scared myself by reading too much online comments)
For 3-4 weeks I experienced nausea when yawning ( it made me yawn a lot) , no appetite, decrease in sex drive, and hard time reaching an orgasm. Although the side affects seem bad they were bearable. I'm glad I didn't give up. I feel a lot better, my anxiety decreased, my motivation to live increased, I'm a lot happier and I engage into conversations more. I'm very happy for trying Zoloft and can't wait till it improves my life even more. Try it! It'll save your life !"


"I have Metastatic adrenal cancer and this Calms me a great deal I take 1 mg three times a day and it's enough to keep me calm and not worry about death and leaving my husband and 3 kids and I'm soon to be grandma."


"On Victoza for one week.  Have noticed drop in sugars from 150  to 120 most of the time.  Still have to take 35 units of fast acting at night to get sugars down to 88 at 3:00am.  Take 25 Lantus at night and 50 in morning.  Some burping, constipation. Weight 300 lbs now. Will monitor it.  Only side effect is an increase in heart beat of about 20 at rest and when exercising (from 70 to 90 at night) from 95 to 115 when at gym.  They are still okay.  I take Coreg and lisinopril for heart medication.  Blood pressures is good as usual, 130/75. A1C - 7.7. Will test in 3 months. Had bypass surgery last year. "


"Ativan has made a tremendous difference in my life as my anxiety was out of control and panic attacks were frequent. I don't find that it makes me tired and I like how the effects are quickly felt. I used to take 1 mg but now only take 0.5mg once a day; twice if I need it. I can skip days the odd time if I am at home and things are peaceful.  I was put on Valium and couldn't handle that at all - Ativan was a lifesaver for me!"


"I started aubra and it had the same dose of estrogen and progestin. I noticed the first weeks I was very emotional. I cry over a lot of things because I'm just naturally a sensitive person but the first two weeks were pretty sad. My period either lasted 5 days with heavy to light bleeding, or a week with moderate bleeding. I never break out, and when I do it's once every blue moon. As for weight gain.. that's natural when taking birth control. The first time I gained 10 pounds but I am also an active person and go to the gym daily, so I lost it pretty quickly. I've been on aubra for 3 years now. So far no complaints, but definitely I would recommend to give it a little over a month to see if it's for you."


"I have been taking this birth control for 6 months now and as far as I'm concerned, it works well. I haven't gotten pregnant and I don't use condoms with my significant other. The first few months I may have had a little bit of nausea and bloating, but that's all gone now. My acne has pretty much stayed the same, but my periods are lighter and shorter. They are also very regular. As for changing my weight, I believe Apri has actually helped regulate my weight, so I haven't gained any pounds nor lost any while maintaining the same diet. Mood swings could probably be better, but that comes with all young female adults under stress anyway."


"I received one injection in both knees for four weeks a month ago. Have RA, OA and had tibia plateau fixation in both legs in 2009 after a car hit me. The injections DID NOT give me any kind of pain relief AT ALL. As a matter of fact today, my right knee feels worse than before the injections because it's hurting even though I didn't walk or stand up…"


"I'm about to start week three of this medicine for chronic daily migraines. I don't wake up with headaches, I do experience the tingly fingers and toes, I'm cold more often, and here lately I cry a lot over stupid stuff and nearly quit my job but did gave back my promotion and raise this week. I was already trying to stop drinking sodas so the carbonated beverages tasting horrible doesn't bother me anyway. I'll continue to take it but my husband and I are monitoring the crying episodes and watching for depression. I was sleeping better at first but now I'm not sleeping much this week either."


"I am 40. I was diagnosed bipolar 15 years ago. My mania manifests itself as aggression/rage. My rage has been a problem since I was young. My violent outbursts consisted of me punching myself, bashing my head against walls and other horrifically embarrassing and dangerous actions. I was extremely verbally abusive to anyone unfortunate enough to be near me during my rages. I have been on many meds throughout my life. Every benzo. Mellaril. Thorazine. Every SSRI. Depakote. Lithium. NOTHING curbed my rage. In fact - SSRI meds INTENSIFIED my rage. 10 years ago, my psychiatrist put me on 20mg of Abilify. Within 4 days - I felt like I could finally breathe. My rage literally disappeared. But I don't feel "zombie-ish" like with other meds."


"I suffered from pretty bad acne. Everyday I would wake up with lots of whiteheads even some blackheads too, my acne was also very red, over my nose, chin, cheek and forehead area. I took Yaz for three months and it does wonders to your skin, I no longer suffer with waking up with lots of whiteheads or blackheads and I have seen a change in my skin. I will continue to take Yaz to keep improving my skin!"


"This is the very first birth control I ever used. The first few days I was overcome anxiety but that subsided. The first month I did have nausea and heartburn but that also subsided.  Two weeks after I began the pill I started my period which lasted off and on for about 3 weeks (which is normal, just annoying).  I switched birth controls with my Dr. because this was not stopping my period at all (I wouldn't take the break pills either).  I continued to get my period at random times which is not my goal with birth control.  It was not a horrible experience however, everyone's body responds differently."


"Methadone as an instrument is a temporary fix. The sooner your mind and body are drug free you and the people that support you will be much better off ."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Wow! This prep so much better than Golytely prep from 8 yrs ago. 3 days prior to procedure started Low Residue Diet - reduced amount eaten on day 2 prior - this significantly reduces out put and discomfort. Only clear liquids day prior (no light breakfast). Read Suprep reviews - poured prep out over 3 small ice cubes and use chilled water - chugged in 2 gulps (breathed thru mouth between gulps - reduces taste) then immediately sucked on a sour piece hard candy - minimizes after taste. Within 15 min consumed 32 oz room temp water - the faster this all goes in the faster it comes out - less potty time. Same for early (3am) prep. No nausea/vomiting, no cramping, no headache, only slight chill in am. Absolutely best prep!"


"I took dulcolax and it just made me puke, no BM. This is the worst product I have ever used in my life. I have the chills and puked 2 times with this product. Id rather be constipated than have this."


"I have been on Pristiq 5 days, the 1st day I felt great, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th, my last day as of yesterday has been pure hell. Nausea, constant headache, flu like symptoms, not being able to read the paper or anything, vision really messed up, hot & then cold, total confusion, can't remember something that happened an hour ago, my skin itches so bad it's red. I'm not going to take it ever again, I would rather be depressed, I will take my doctor back the samples he gave me tomorrow & let him know my problems with Pristiq. I know an antidepressant can take time to be effective but I don't want to risk anymore withdrawal symptoms than what I'm having after taking this just 5 days. I will never take it again."


"A word of caution to anyone with a history of depression or anxiety. I experienced some really scary side effects in the three weeks I tried Qsymia, including suicidal thoughts. I have a history of mild anxiety and depression and I experienced very severe symptoms while on the drug including panic attacks, restlessness, trouble sleeping and extreme sadness. I'm tapering off the med now. I have a BMI of 35 and a history of PCOS which is why my doctor prescribed it, but she should not have given me this with my history of depression without a more serious warning of the potentially scary side effects. Good luck to all of you who are trying and who it's working for."


"I got my IUD in March and I am in LOVE! My gyno was amazing! She prescribed medication to soften my cervix the night before and advised that we insert it while I'm still on a period so that my cervix is as open naturally as possible. I took ibuprofen in the morning before the appointment and right at the worst part she advised me to cough - all of that seemed to keep the discomfort down to a minimum! I had bad period style cramps the rest of the day and took it easy but was up and moving like normal the next day. The only issue I've had is low libido but that could also be related to another issue I was diagnosed with too."


"Latuda changed my life. I feel normal. I'm 48 years old and have been on many, many different types of meds for Bipolar type 1. I was diagnosed when I was 28, and have had quite a roller coaster time until I was put on Latuda 80 mg as well as Wellbutrin XL 300. I also had to add Trazodone 100mg later for sleeping. It's been 3 1/2 years now and I'm married now and taking care of both of my daughters, my grandson, and my husband. It truly has changed my life to stable and normal."


"I didn't have a BM in three days so I took one pill around 6 pm. I went to bed that night feeling sick and cramping. I woke up at 1 am thinking I was about to have a BM. I didn't so I took two more pills. I went to bed and I woke up around 6:30am. By 7 o'clock came I had a BM and I literally sat on the toilet for three hours. I finally felt so much better. I didn't stop having diarrhea till midnight."


"This pill worked fine for birth control, but I felt really down for about 2 weeks before my period. My mood swings were horrible."


"My treatment for first episode psychosis started with olanzapine (Zyprexa). It was working really well but was leading to side effects amongst which weight gain was the most significant amongst them. So, eventually aripiprazole was started and I am on it for a while. It seems to be a good medicine with very few side effects and it has worked really well."


"My mom is 94 we started her on this medication because she was confused to the point of argument mostly in the late afternoon till bed time. After 5 days of treatment she seamed to be worse starting when she wakes up.  Not sure what to do except to call doctor on Monday to ask what we should do."


"This is my first colonoscopy can't thank my  Dr. enough!! "


"I started this pill a month ago and have now just started my second strip. I started this pill as I started to get a few spots on my t zone and cheeks and wanted to have clear skin. I visited my doctor and she gave me the yasmin pill, biggest mistake of my life. I have severe acne in all areas of the face, very red and dry including many black and white heads. I seem to have noticed that in my 7 day break that my acne went down quite abit so I have decided to stop this pill. Worst experience ever"


"This was my first birth control ever, so at the time I didn't have anything to compare it to. Looking back, it was a pretty bad experience. I have problem skin, and this drug gave me pretty extreme hormonal acne around my jawline that only got worse overtime.Please be careful if you have past experience with acne or if you notice the acne isn't going away!!! I got acne scars that are just now fading. I also noticed that it nearly completely killed my sex drive and put me in a generally depressive state. It might work for some people, but I urge you to try multiple types of birth control before you settle for one, because something you take everyday should not leave you with such bad side effects."


"I discovered two genital warts, one on the shaft and another at the base. I went to get them frozen off and was clear for a few months but then they returned and I had developed up to about 7. I went back and used the liquid nitrogen treatment and was prescribed the imiquimod cream. I have been using it for the past 4 months now and have not seen any progress other than some irritation, redness and scabbing. I am almost out of my prescription and have another appointment lined up to make another attempt. It has been very difficult on me emotionally and on my relationship with my partner and hope it will eventually work and have it all go away. I am trying to be patient but there really isn't much else I can do."


"My 12 year old son has been having migraines for 2 years now.    At first it was only once every few months. However, it progressed to once or twice a week - with vision aura and speech disturbance.  I took him to a Pediatric Neurologist and he said it was likely from puberty.   He prescribed 500 mg of Depakote ER.   It seemed to start working right away.  It has been almost 2 months now and he has only had one migraine now in almost 2 months. Far better than before.
He hasn't had any of the noticeable side effects - hair loss, weight gain. He takes it before bedtime. It is hard to get him up in the morning but don't know if that is from the medicine or from going to bed too late!"


"After decades of debilitating anxiety, a psychiatrist put me on Klonopin. I have now been on this medication for about 15 years, and my anxiety rarely affects me anymore.  Unlike other anxiety meds, I have not had to increase my dosage, and have absolutely no side effects. This medicine has been a life saver for me."


"Savela has made a major difference for my fibro pain. I take 2/ day as well as gabapentin."


"Started this medication in November of 2016. So far I have lost almost 30lbs. It works. It completely takes your mind of food. You still want to eat but not the constant obsessive thinking about eating and what you're going to eat next . I like to think this is what normal weight people must eat like. The weight has just slowly and steadily come off for me with minimal effort on my part other than reducing what I'm consuming.
My side effects have been minimal: slight tingling in fingers and toes occasionally, loss of concentration periodically, dry mouth sometimes but all of these things have been minor inconveniences and worth the weight loss and how I feel, overall given the pros and (serious) cons of this drug I would recommend."


"I have just started this medicine today and I am hoping to have positive results. It is an expensive medication as it cost me $118 for a 30 day supply. I figured I will try it for 30 days to see what it does. I am in desperate need of help. I am a 38 year old female that is 5'5 and 294Lbs. I have low thyroid which does not help with motivation and I have lots of back pain that makes it hard to walk any distance. It is probably just in my head because today is just day one but I already feel like my head is in a positive place, I feel motivated and I only ate half my lunch because I felt very content and full. Hoping for positive results!! Good luck to everyone!"


"I have never personally taken this medication. However, my mother recently was prescribed to Marinol after other medications provided no relief from chemo induced nausea. Her first dose took about 3 hours to kick in (which is a long time when you're nauseated) but after that she's been a brand new person. I'm guessing it takes those first few hours to get fully in your system. She takes it twice a day and has had little to no nausea."


"I was not feeling the effects until two weeks on chantix but shortly after I started not caring if I smoked a cigarette. It became more of a habit then need. I have been smoking for 13 years and have tried the patches, gum and electronic cigarette nothing worked like this. I have successfully quit and haven't felt the need to smoke even around other smokers."


"I had been on the pill since I was 14yrs old for excruciating period cramps along with extremely heavy bleeding (I could go through a super plus tampon in 20min!) Now, at 23, on May 9th I had the Mirena inserted. The procedure was extremely painful to the point that I felt like I was going to pass out, my hands were clammy, and I had a death grip on the sides on the exam table. (I don't have any kids). To date, I have gained 30 pounds and nothing I have done to lose it has worked. I've lost 40+ pounds twice in my life, so I know how to lose it. I'm also tired ALL the time. I can literally nap at any point in the day. And I have painful ovarian cysts (which I knew was a side effect prior). Seriously considering taking it out."


"On my 2nd package of 5 day Z pack, it is working but slow to act.  This is a bad infection, it had been on and off for past 6 months.  I will need another refill today or my Dr. may try another option.  I can not take any cyllin drugs.  This sinusitis is a chronic problem.  I was experiencing this problem almost yearly every fall/winter then stopped for past 5 years.  Now it is  back with vengeance..."


"I have dealt with depression, anxiety, social phobia or social anxiety which ever label they want to use for it these days. I have dealt with these issues pretty much since kindergarten. Well mainly the extreme social phobia/anxiety at that time which they used to just call "shy". When I was 18 and was seeing a psychologist he diagnosed me as having agoraphobia, I'm guessing because they really didn't have the term "social phobia/anxiety" at that time. I finally started taking Paxil and it worked good for 10 yrs then I maxed out on dosage and it stopped working. Tried all the other SSRI's/SSNRI's. Effexor XR worked best but didn't help anxiety/or social phobia issues. Got on Klonopin, then Xanax eventually. Benzodiazepines are life savers for socialphobia."


"Well after I was told I needed mirena for heavy bleeding and being anemic I was scared to death. The reviews of this medication can scare anyone out of trying it. I had my tubes tied 8 years ago and did not need birth control but was told by my obgyn that it was less invasive than an ablasion which I really did want. I decided to give it a go! My OB said not to be scared. That every woman will have different reactions to this! I needed to have day surgery to have this inserted as my cervix was closed up too much to have it put in the office. Well it's been 6 weeks and it's been great. I spotted for 10 days after the procedure and nothing since. I was scared of weight gain, hair loss, and acne but nothing has changed!! Please give it a try!"


"When they ask me to say how effective this medicine is I got confused. I mean I'm not pregnant so it is effective  Lol "


"This medicine saved my life!!! I've had terrible migraines since I was 16 and I'm now 24. I've tried so many medications and nothing worked to prevent them. The Triptans relieve the pain but only after the migraine starts. Verapamil is the only medicine that has completely blocked my migraines. I definitely recommend this! I've never had any side effects with it either."


"Early pregnancy loss was a huge issue. I have been on prometrium since day after ovulation. I am 18 weeks pregnant. Drs wanted me to stop at 14 weeks I had extra and continued. I ran out for two days and started having contractions. My Dr decided it was best to stay on prometrium due to evidence of risked preterm labor."


"I have been on lutera for 8 months now and so far my experience has been great! My obgyn switched me from safyral to this because it was over $100 a month. But my periods are only 5 days long with a medium to light flow. I bled extremely heavy before ever on the pill. I have had no weight gain, actually lost 2 pants sizes, no unusual mood swings, breasts went down a cup size but seem perkier, and no babies. The only thing I have noticed is a little bit of breast tenderness before my period and I only get slightly moody at PMS time. It has been a good pill for me so far. Every woman is different, but I highly recommend this pill."


"My wife was put on Junel by her OB doctor and only took it for about one week. It made her feel extremely sick - nausea, vomiting & flu-like symptoms. During the one week that she was taking Junel she ended up developing a blood clot that went to both her lungs and was hospitalized with bilateral pulmonary embolisms. Luckily she recognized that something was wrong and went straight to the ER and was diagnosed quickly and started on anticoagulants which she now gets to take for 6 months to 2 years. The doctors state that Junel was definitely a contributing factor to the blood clots. People frequently die from pulmonary embolisms if not treated in time and now my wife is at a higher risk for future clots...Think twice before using Junel"


"Taking this for sinusitis.  I am an adilt taking in suspension, as I have trouble swallowing pills.  It says grape and is purple in color but it tastes terrible.
"


"This drug may be that comes from Heaven, but you must have insight in order to you may have no barrier to take this nearly perfect drug."


"I've been on Antabuse for a few months now, after 4 x rehab, suicidal attempts and getting obese because of drinking (I could add a lot of other horrible things happening in my life because of my drinking) and I'm only 30. I have a will to have a normal life, therefore I make that little effort and I take that white pill every morning.

One thing that surprises me when reading what others have written is a statement that "everybody tries to drink on disulfiram". No, not everybody. Apart from the fact that I can't drink at the moment, I also don't want to drink. If somebody is still trying to drink despite all of the side effects then I'm sorry to say that but the sobriety won't last long."


"I am 53 years old.  I started having issues with ED a few years ago.  I tried using Levitra and Cialis, and it was hit or miss.  Once I started using Sildenafil OMG.  I feel young again.  I love taking it on Friday night.  I haven't had this much fun in a long time."


"It did stop the asthma, but it took some of the color from my teeth. I also gained weight. I'm off of it and back on Intal."


"I've had asthma since I was about four (now fourty) and it's been terrible. Mostly triggered by allergies. Been on every cortico you can think of. I'd go through three rescue inhalers a month.  I've been on Breo for about four months and have had two rescue inhalers filled.  I can exercise withought using it, I can sleep at night and I have gone days with completely forgetting I had a rescue inhaler.  It has been a miracle drug.  It is expensive though but my doctor gave me a discount card and it's free now.  My only issue is when its very cold and you work your bronchi hard outside, it hurts but it's worth it.  Also you can build an immunity to it and it starts to not work as well after the four or five months.  BUT it still works well."


"I was previously on tri-cyclen until they switched me over to tri-sprintec. At first I hadn't noticed a difference between the two, but about a few weeks in I noticed that I started to feel a lot more nauseous. Now that I am about a month into tri-sprintec I've had about all the symptoms in the book. I have had increased negative mods swings which have put a big damper on my relationship almost causing me to lose a person I love over dumb stupid fights which are caused by me being very irritable throughout the day. Every night this week I've cried for no reason and I constantly feel depressed and my anxiety has been very bad. My boobs are constantly sore, my discharge smells disgusting, I can barely eat, and I'm always angry. Do not use!"


"Well I have been trying to lose weight for 4 years, since my hysterectomy.  I had tried everything, Phentermine, Plexus and so much more.  Nothing even budged the scale 1 pound.  Well I finally found a doctor who listened to the fact that I only eat about 1300 calories per day and still couldn't lose weight.  I chase 6 kids and am active outdoors and yet there was still no change.

Skeptical at first because after spending the $90.00 for my first prescription, I only saw a budge of about 0.7 pounds in the first week.  I began with Contrave on July 11 and as of today I am taking 2 in the morning 1 in the evening and I am down 7.3 pounds.  I still have a long way to go but at least the scale is now going down."


"I like the convenience of only having to take the once a year infusion.  I have had no noticeable side effects."


"I had Implanon since July 07 and I 100% love it. I got it after having an abortion and not wanting to have to make that type of decision again. After I 1st got it, I was period less for 3 months, and since then, my period comes every 4-6 weeks for about 5-7 days, but no weight gain, mood swings, or acne, until 1 or 2 days prior to my period starting, so I just chalk it up to PMS. Other then that, I love not having to thing about pregnancy or remembering to take some pills or get a shot. I highly recommend it."


"I'm 28 years old. No children.  I switched from the nuva ring to the mirena. I've had the mirena for 10 months. Insertion was not painful for me, just try and relax (I rested my arms above my head and it helped my cervix open more). I had one day of painful cramping the first month. For 8 months I had normal/lighter periods once per month. The past 2 months I have been spotting and bleeding almost everyday with abdominal cramping. It's like having a period every week for 8 weeks. I've had the mirena placement double checked and had a abdominal check up; nothing abnormal found. Still bleeding/spotting now, but it's manageable. Hoping this will pass."


"I have been on Lamictal for 7 months now.  I noticed a drastic difference when the medication hit full potency.  It was like night and day.  I am still scared to death I might have a low.  I don't think I could make it through another."


"I love this product. I've been getting cold sores for years and every time I felt one coming on I felt hopeless! Now when I feel the tingling/itchy I immediately use my Abreva and the cold sore never comes out! The trick is to use it as soon as you feel the tingling and you will be good!"


"I suffer an array of chronic pain / low back and leg issues - My doctor, after many failed attempts of finding the right medication for me, used this in conjunction with the muscle relaxant Robaxin and in the first three days there was notable significant relief of virtually all pain. I continue to take 75mg twice a day and I feel like I have my life back again. This medicine has been a blessing."


"Ibuprofen bothers my stomach so I tried Aleve/naproxen some years back and as to this day it works better then anything else, over the counter, that I have taken. It may not take away all the pain but it takes that evil edge off so the pain becomes less likely to make me vomit. I take Aleve in the morning to prevent the pains and again when I do get the pains. "


"Really helped my Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms!"


"I have had GERD for almost one year, and this med is the only one that seems to be working for me, as always its not 100% effective since I still have night symptoms sometimes, but its way better than any other med out there ( I've tried out omeprazol and lansoprazole, and no one of them  were efficient for me).
On the other hand, I didn't notice any important side effects, the only one mentionable is some queasiness when I'm  in the bus/car and I'm not watching the road ( I'm looking to the phone), which is something I've experienced very rarely before starting the esomeprazole treatment."


"I have used the Ortho Evra patch 2 years ago and I loved it, did not fall pregnant and had no side effects, but I went back to using it again six(6) months ago, my sex drive has drastically dropped and suffering from vaginal dryness for the past 3 months."


"Hey gals! In a 'the heat of the moment' situation, my boyfriend and I ended up having sex on May 25. He pulled out and wasn't in for long since it was both of our first times & we're both in high school, but I was still freaking out. I took the morning after pill less than 12 hours afterwards. Then we ended up having a repeat of this situation May 30. So again, I took the pill. This time it was about 12 hours later though. I waited anxiously, but reading these reviews really helped me. I was sure I was pregnant. My periods irregular, so I wasn't sure when to expect it. I experienced cramps, moodiness, frequent urination, nausea, and fatigues. Now it's June 6th and I just got my period. Don't stress ladies, just let the pill do its job! :)"


"I was prescribed 100mg/2x a day for 7 days to treat a pelvic pain/UTI. It worked, but a couple of days later the UTI returned. The doctor prescribed a second week of 100mg/2x a day for an additional week, during that week, I experienced fever, chills, severe headache, confusion, major nausea and vomited twice.  I went to Urgent Care tonight, because it feels like a pill has been stuck burning my throat for 3 days.  The Urgent Care doctor acknowledged swollen glands, and raw, bright-red throat, and tested for mono and strep-both tests came back negative.  So now I'm home, still in pain, without any answers, just a large medical bill.  If you must take doxy, be aware of the possible side effects.

I"


"This pill did not work well with my body at all. Before my cramps were pretty bad and I had heavy bleeding for about 3/5 days of my period but I took Aleve and it made it bare-able. I've only taken this pill for about a week and I can already tell it is not helping with my cramps or bleeding in the slightest. It made my flow lighter but the cramps and the back pains were worst then when I was not on the pill. & my period would normally end in 5 days max and it's still going and does not appear to be ceasing anytime soon. I read the reviews and was like ok im gonna try it anyway.. but I clearly should have listened. My period was bad enough for 5 days imagine having it for longer with horrible back pains and cramps."


"It works overall very good for me"


"Very convenient......noted side effects of breast tenderness (bothersome) and increased milky vaginal discharge (am told this is normal)......has improved vaginal dryness and dysparuenia (painful intercourse)."


"Great li'l piece of technology! I'm 63. Viagra was very hit'n miss with me. I tried Cialis and am so pleased. I'm getting erections, random and intentional, just like I did 30 years ago. I'm harder and can come more often than with Viagra. I have found that I can take just 2 x 20mg tabs a week (one on Friday, one on Tuesday) and I am good for the entire week. "


"Took this since 3rd grade. It made me tried and I became depressed. After getting off the pills I became myself again. I took it from 3rd grade till about 8th grade. I'm now in 10th grade with no ADHD meds at all."


"Oxy helped me 120% as the pain would instantly leave me... It was hard getting some as my Dr stopped prescribing but then another gentleman who's contact I got from an acquaintance all the way from Canada helped me out and that was how I got me a fresh supply of some very potent generics from home... He could be reached here.. drtony6 artgmale d0tc0m"


"I was diagnosed with ADHD in 8th grade and put on 20mg of Concerta which has since risen to 54mg extended release in the day and 10mg immediate release in the evening for when I do my homework. At first the medicine was great- it allowed me to focus and my grades went up significantly. However over the past year or so I have been experiencing negative side effects such as depression, headaches, and loss of appetite. I can manage the headaches and appetite problems but as for the depression, it is so bad that I am considering switching to another brand or changing my dose because when I am on Concerta I become virtually emotionless, and as a result I am struggling to maintain good relationships with my friends and family members."


"I am 23 years and I suffered with severe cyst acne for two years, until finally my dermatologist prescribed tretinoin. I had multiple pimples that would merge into big bumps on my face mainly on both my cheeks and in my jawline. At first I would apply once every other day and gradually every night. After three months there was a dramatic change in my face, all the pimples had faded. What was left was ance scars and marks, I have been using the cream for about a year now and most all my acne scars have faded. Tretinoin is my life saver, before the cream I felt like a monster; I feel like I can show my face to world without shame. I extremely suggest that if you suffer from severe acne don't stop the treatment, I believe in tretinoin."


"I just started otezla this morning!!! Obviously I haven't seen any results but I'm hopeful!!! I will be posting every week to let everyone know my results!!! "


"I have calf pain (mainly when sitting) due to small fiber neuropathy. I tried Neurontin, Lyrica, Cymbalta...without any luck. Tramadol provided limited relief, but not nearly enough. Finally I tried Pamelor and after a few weeks the calf pain started to dissipate. I take 100mg/day and the side effects have been pretty mild. The drowsiness tapered off after a few days, but the dry mouth and constipation go with the territory. I get occasional tinnitus as well."


"I have high blood pressure and edema. The hydrochlorothiazide definitely made me lose water weight- about 6-7 pounds but it really seemed to cut sexual desire and often made me nauseous and gave me diarrhea. I had to stop taking it because of the nausea. The night after the first day I'd stopped taking it, my sexual desire returned but when I got up to urinate, I noticed the veins on my penis were abnormally enlarged. The veins went back to normal after that night. I think I had a reverse reaction when my body tried to adjust to the medicine being out of my system. Probably the water had no escape mechanism without the medication."


"Lidoderm patch. Rated 6 and 1/2.   Used for 12 hours then off for 12. This was a fairly good addition to my pain treatment for spinal arthritis. I take NSAIDS, Tramadol and add this towards the end of the day when I feel my spine on fire.  It makes a difference but not sure a big enough difference to justify the cost.

Cons- must wear a non-waterproof patch for 12 hours. Patch is no good if you sweat even moderately as it 'unsticks'.  It is not re-appliable, can't take it off to readjust or for a shower so you have to get it right and time it right.

Pro- It does help in a manner that pain medicines and NSAIDS don't."


"I Changed to Yaz after my other contraceptive (Levlin) made my skin breakout and made me irrationally emotional. My skin cleared up in 1 month! I didn't have cystic acne but I always got big patchy breakouts. My skin is so smooth and I'm a lot less emotional lol. I'm also on a whole bunch of medications for epilepsy so the fact that this pill can level my emotions is pretty fantastic. I haven't experience any muscle pain, acne worsening, or any other of the side effects other people have mentioned. Guess it depends on the person. I've also noticed it has given me more energy which means I can excerise 5 times a week instead of 3 which is also much healthier for me! Definately give Yaz a try!"


"I have been using Lantus La SoloStar for more than 5 years with excellent results. I inject 80 units before bedtime. While the medicine certainly does its job and keeps my sugars in check, I have to agree with the fact that using the plunger mechanism is a nuisance quite frequently. I have large hands so the small hand complaint is not my issue -- it's a matter of the amount of force required to push the plunger to make it operate that's the problem. It would be appreciated if the manufacturer would take peoples complaints into consideration and redesign the plunger system. I have used other such pens in the past in an effort to help control my sugars and their plungers were nowhere near as difficult as the Lantus."


"I feel like Klonopin has turned my life around. I suffer from social anxiety. It has given me confidence in my job and in my everyday life. I feel in control and relaxed when I am on this medicine. It's similar to Xanax but it takes about 40 minutes to an hour to kick in and it lasts a lot longer. Being in crowds doesn't bother me as much. It sort of slows things down and doesn't make things so hectic and crazy. Although things may be going on around you, you seem to not notice it as much. It's unbelievable how different I feel. My dosage is 1mg total a day (super low). I found 0.5mg to be too much so I take 0.25 mg four times a day. I feel like myself again. I've had zero side effects with the exception of 0.5mg making me very drowsy."


"Got a trial prescription for Nuvigil 150mg tablets, first day was incredible, but after a few days the effectiveness was greatly diminished.  Still worked but did not have the same effect as day one.  Worried about using it regularly since it is not covered by insurance and without that the cost is outrageous ($330/30 tablets).  Does not leave you nervous like Ritalin, and lasts longer than Provigil. Worth trying if your health care plan covers it."


"Visited the ER due to intense migraine lasting 7 days with 4 impacted wisdom teeth coming in. Face swollen, migraine and intense anxiety went to a different hospital and was hoping for something that WORKED, But got the reglan/benedryl cocktail which made me freak out like a idoit and I cried for anxiety meds when a new doctor came in and denied me anything else and called me a pill popper, although the only meds I'm taking are for my teeth pain (antibiotic and a steroid) and also continued to be rude while still having an outrageous migraine. Home now...hours later...with a migraine still......"


"I give Drysol 100%. This product works. I have been having sweating problems all my life. I'm from Jamaica so I thought it was the climate but then I moved to Canada thinking it's cold so I will stop sweating. I was so wrong. Thank goodness I found this product. I apply it once a week and I'm dry all the time. At times I find myself feeling my shirt if its dry. It's amazing. Now I can wear all color T-shirts without the worry of sweat marks."


"I took Latuda 40 mg for a week and then 80 the next week. I had to stop halfway through week 2 because I wasn't sleeping and I was feeling more agitated. Actually, it made my bipolar worse. I was up and down and up and down within a matter of minutes. "


"After diagnosis of Grave's Disease I was given Synthroid. Took this alone for 20 years. Dosage was lowered from 0.150 to 0.125 when thought to be causing irregular heart beat. Had an "oblation" of nerves around heart area that was causing irregular beating and remained on 0.125 dosage feeling better. A new Endocrinologist had me add Liothyronine in a custom "compound" dosage of 2.5mcg and lowered Synthroid to 0.112.  One measurement was high the other low hoping to balance the two. Didn't feel a lot of improvement. Noticed I was more irritable with upset stomach. Tried it for 2 months but quit- wasn't happy with it.  I've started taking it again and have small improvements in mental clarity, regularity, but get migraines."


"I had been suffering from pretty severe anxiety and sleeplessness. I would usually be able to fall asleep but would then wake up 1-4 hours later and never be able to fall back asleep.  I start Zoloft (50, then 100, now 150mg) a little over a month ago and my anxiety is basically gone.  In conjunction with that I started taking Seroquel at the same time for sleep and it has been wonderful.  I started out taking 50mg but am now taking 100mg a night about 30-45 minutes before bed.

Within about a half hour I feel incredibly tired and relaxed, it's wonderful.  For whatever reason this medication does give me the munchies to watch out for that.  After a couple weeks on the medication I no longer feel drowsy in the morning which is great!"


"I was very skeptical, and have tried everything from diet/exercise to weight loss supplements.  I could lose no weight no matter what.  Even though I'm still not where I want to be, it looks like Belviq helped get me over that "hump" and I've lost about 13 pounds in 2 months doing the same routine that I have been.  It does work."


"NUVIGIL is so far my best medication for ADD. I have both Asperger's Disorder and Attention Deficit Disorder, but NUVIGIL is mostly for my ADD. NUvigil has 1/10 the potency of amphetamine, suppresses hunger more than how much hunger INVEGA would produce, and helps me concentrate. The pill works very well, without the jitters. It also worked as relief for my depression, while taking an antidepressant."


"I have been on Enbrel for about 5-6 years roughly, I use to take methotrexate and Enbrel, then I stick to Enbrel and it has stabled my arthritis. I am doing it now every 3 weeks and I find my joints hurt after taking it.  The best place to do it in my opinion is the upper leg.  Sometimes the area I did my injection would itch but it would dissapear after a couple days. Overall I haven't had much complaints using this medicine, I used the sure click which makes things easier then the automatic one."


"I was a smoker of 45 years, had tried several times to give up but nothing seemed to work. Eventually I tried Champix and found that they really worked and have never looked back, I have not had a. Cigarette for 5 years now. With Champix, I found giving up relatively easy and wished I knew about Champix sooner."


"I have been using ropinirole for about 2 1/2 years now. I finally can get a good night's sleep. I take it nightly; I can't forget to take it because my legs start getting restless. I have had to increase dosage to 2 mg and I have never experienced any side effects to my knowledge."


"I took Uloric for four months. It worked great for gout; however. I have experienced a rapid onset hypertension and increased heart rate (+ 35%). I had no such problems prior to Uloric. I'd rather have gout. Caveat Emptor."


"I just had this inserted recently, so I can't speak to the long term effects of it, but after reading a review on here from someone who claims the pain "isn't excruciating"... I beg to differ. I took 400mg of ibuprofen two hours before I was on the procedure table (in hindsight I should have taken 800mg). I am a 21yr old female who has never had children, with extremely light periods that last about 3 days (prior to having this inserted). I nearly passed out from insertion, I was hyperventilating with a death grip on the assistant's hand and she had to sit with me for about 10 minutes afterwards while I ate a banana and drank water because I couldn't feel my face and was still dizzy. Have someone on-call to drive you home."


"I too am extremely greatful for these Duragesic Patches. My only recommendation to future recipients is to invest in paper medical tape. These patches have a tendancy to come loose or completely fall off prior to the removal date."


"I was kinda shady to take this pill cuz of all the bad reviews on it. I have IBS so I thought what do I have to lose? So I took one pill and within 10 minutes this terrible nausea hit me. I even ate before I took it and that didn't help, I was nauseous all day long & I thought scew this I ain't taking it again so I didn't. 2 to 3 days later I started having terrible stomach cramps to the point where I wanted to cry. I had diarrhea & also somewhat of stools. So does the drug make you go? Yeah. Are the side effects worth it? No! This is a really powerful drug with way too many side effects. It also gave me a bad headache"


"I was on HUMIRA for three years after 14 years of methotrexate and a mix of other non biological meds. HUMIRA was brilliant however it has recently stopped working so well and my specialist is changing me to another anti TNF biologic. I'm really sad and sorry to leave my humira behind, it gave me a great three years, the best I've had since I first got RA. Will wait to see what the new MED is like, fingers crossed."


"I had to jump on the internet after inserting the Miconazole cream (generic brand). The itching and burning was so intense that I thought I might be allergic. Luckily, I didn't scratch, because I'm reading that it makes it worse. The first 5-10 minutes were rough. Luckily the discomfort has died down for the most part but it comes in waves still - a bit more mild but bearable now. It helped to read reviews. Thanks."


"I was told that this would cause gastroparisis, and it has. 7th week on it and it is so bad that I can't sleep. Bloated abdomen and sharp cramping pain in upper abd. No appreciable impact on daily blood sugar. No wt loss, rather a gain. Muscle tightness in heck and head, leading to headaches.

I was doing ok with daily victoza but insurance wouldn't cover it and made me switch."


"I got my life back with Mobic. I can move again without pain and stiffness."


"Lowered triglycerides by 50%. Severe muscle ache in legs. Discontinued."


"Inserted miconazole 7 and with in 15 minutes the fireworks began. Itching, irritation, burning....torture (why me)!! I googled the symptoms because this type of pain could NOT be normal. Found this site, (thanks God) read the reviews and decided to stick it out and go through the process. After about 50 squats and 20 minutes of twerking for relief "


"Been taking Zomig for about a year for common migraines (without aura, I think). I never know if a serious migraine is coming on, but Zomig seems to work for it all. I break the 5mg pill in half at first if it's not bad, then take a whole 5mg pill if I wake up to a headache the next day. My headaches used to last 2-5 days switching sides. Imetrex seemed to work but it made my arms and chest feel heavy. Zomig has less side effects and seems to work just as well. I do have a few side effects, but I associate them with relief so they don't really bother me. A pill will put me out and I'll sleep really well, my skin gets sensitive to temperature (showers will sting a little), and as soon as the headache subsides I'll feel a little euphoric."


"This med works better than other pain meds. Knee pain was so bad from implants I was considering getting back on my crutches. No crutches needed and gained back a little energy."


"I have used this medicine for years for many different conditions including bronchitis, boils, bladder infection, sinusitis among a few others.  The problem though, has become since I have used it so many times, I am almost resistant to it and need a larger dose or longer dosing schedule to clear up a more severe case of the ailment.  When it works, it works well."


"I had migraines for years. I tried Imitrex and similar meds but ended up with rebound headaches. It was a vicious cycle. Narcotic meds also did not work.

Botox was a miracle for me. Within two weeks my migraines had disappeared entirely!  The Botox lasted for 4-6 months.

I changed neurologists though last month and he had a different method of injection, using twice as much Botox (200 units instead of 100).  Two days later I developed horrible neck pain that progressed from sore to being barely able to hold my head up. I could not look down, bend, brush my teeth, or even turn my head. My head felt as if it weighed 200 pounds. Doctor said it would go away in 2 weeks!  10% of folks get this "side effect."  I am still suffering."


"I read the reviews and still decided to take the medicine. I was nervous because the reviews made it seem like my vagina would burst in flames. I had no issues once so ever. I took if on my second day of symptoms when my yi wasn't too bad yet. I put the medicine in at 11pm and it is 6:30am and I have zero pain. The medicine came out when I went to the bathroom after waking up, which was expected, and once again no pain. I don't know why some women have issues with this medicine but for me it was wonderful. I took it because last summer I had a yi and I read these reviews, was scared and used the 7 day. That was a disaster because it was 4th of July weekend and I was on vacation. I wish I had used the one day and got it over with."


"Did not notice any effect whatsoever."


"I didn't rate this as a 10 or higher because I just got it put in about 3 hours ago. I had the Mirena for about 6 weeks but I wanted to change it to the non-hormonal paraguard plus it's effective for 10 years! I have 2 kids my youngest being 4 months I wanted the IUD because I do not want anymore kids. The procedure was painless for me except for a sting/pinch, maybe for me it was painless because of previous births and I also was spotting which the doctor said would make it easier. I had minor cramping for about an hour afterwards I will write again in a month or so to say how it's been. Hopefully it will be good :)"


"I absolutely love Benadryl. It's works fast when I need it and relieves the symptoms enough to make me feel comfortable. It does make me sleepy so I take it at night. I do take it during the day occasionally when I know I don't have to drive anywhere."


"40 year old male. I have been on Belviq for 8 weeks. I've lost 20 pounds to date. I had a starting BMI of 32. It has totally removed my night time cravings for food. My biggest problem is late night eating. I usually eat pretty healthy during the day and ruin it at night because I am a night owl and would get hungry late night and would resort to snacks or even worse, fast food. Belviq makes me not think of food all the time and I've noticed I'm not eating as much during meal time. I try to work out 3 times a week but with my work schedule, it can be hard and some weeks I don't work out at all. I am happier and can't wait to lose more. No noticeable side effects here."


"Y'all, this product has worked for me time after time when the condom wants to act a fool! I've used this 5x! The most days I've gone within having the condom break and taking PlanB is 4 days! The max. for effectiveness is 5! When I take the pill, my period is delayed a week and a few days later then my period due date, always. So don't worry too much!  During the days leading up to expecting my period to arrive, of course I'm freaking out, but I get bloated, moody, craving foods & sweets-all the symptoms you get when you're about to get your period anyways! Then BOOM I'm so happy to have my period. The next day I'm like ugggggh. Hate this shit!  ;) I recommend it to anyone, but the sooner the better to swallow this $50 small pill, babydoll's!"


"I had started taking Contrave because my doctor recommended it when my generic welbutrin stopped working. She said that Contrave contains name-brand Welbutrin and it might help with the energy problem I have. I was scared to take it at first because of all the possible side-effects. I poured over this site reading people's reviews.

I've been taking this med for 2 weeks now, and can say that other than occasional headache, I have no side effects. It really does curb your cravings, and makes you just want to eat less. At first I was taking it an hour after taking Bornine for possible nausea, but turns out I haven't experienced any nausea yet. I don't take the med with food, and have no problems.

Will update later."


"I had been on the depo since a young age due to my periods landing me in the ER each month because of vomiting. My body & depo worked well together, so I was disappointed when my gyno recommended me switch to something lighter. Skyla it was. Insertion was painful but over quickly. The after effects are what took me down. Fainting, vomiting, unreal cramping by the time I got to the car & whole first day. Nausea & cramps the next week. Now I just cramp terribly all the time. Every day. For 2 months. That being said, I am thrilled to have mine removed tomorrow. My experience will not be yours, but I do recommend hearing other stories so you can be prepared but do not fear IUDs or your insertion process! Each woman will have her own experience"


"I was diagnosed,  with a panic disorder. I was always well traveled, worked hard and had a great social life, then my life changed over night. You can't explain to anyone the feeling of complete helplessness unless you are living it. Anyway long story short Lexapro saved my life, even though could not orgasm while taking it and gained 10 kilos, but I was able too come off it after a year. And now I'm living a normal life again."


"The Nuva-ring caused a depression for me after just 1,5 months use. I became depressed a few weeks after beginning, and it only became worse."


"My experience is limited since I have only been on this medication for a few days.  I am a medical resident, diagnosed with ADHD at 32. Got sick and tired of my mediocre performance at work. Tried Straterra, Viibryd and Wellbutrin, nothing worked. Just started on Dexedrine 5mg 2-3 times a day. My first day on it, I studied all day until midnight. I was so motivated, I felt great, on top of the world, I was so driven. I noticed an immediate difference in my performance at work and it made me a nicer, less cynical. The bad thing was insomnia, teeth clenching, some nausea, decreased appetite and the drop in my mood once it wore off. I am worried about intolerance which is driving up my anxiety level. "


Vicks Sinex 12-Hour Decongestant Nasal Spray

"Excellent and fast working. It does what its suppose to do."


"First of all, I know it's scary, and it's hard to not be worry but it works. Im 16. On July, 24th me and my boyfie we did dry humping(skin on skin), no intercourse. He noticed about the pre-cum and wiped it.Few hours later we started worrying bcs some web say that there's a chance for pregnancy just by rubbing. I never calculate my cycle, but I'm pretty sure it was 1-2 days after ovulating. +/- 14 hours later, I took the pills. Without food. After I took it, the rest of the day I feel so sleepy,fatigue,nausea,loss of appetite, slight headache. For few days later I feel bloating, and some minor headache. My period due is around 24/6, and today,27/6 I got my period. Note: Since 24/6 I took vitC&warmwater+honey. It helps to induce period."


Hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate / sodium biphosphate

"This medication definitely was effective in taking away the symptoms of urgency after I had a urinary procedure done. It worked pretty fast within 30min. However the side effect if "fluttering heart" was very negative for me as I have an anxiety disorder so the heart palpitations triggered me to get very panicky. The side effect starting after an hour of taking it and subsided about 2-3 hrs afterwards. Overall I would recommend this medication because the effectiveness was excellent."


"I've been on Vicodin, Percocet, etc. My body doesn't react to those. I was diagnosed with a cervical strain and was put on this. Absolutely love it for muscle pain. I have arthritis and fibromyalgia and this medicine is great. Also no side effects."


"I was optimistic about Otezla because nothing else worked. I tried Humira, creams, Kenologe injections..everything. The 30day sample pack was like a miracle and then the let down happened. My Psoriasis got so bad that it was bleeding and my depression was crazy. The headaches were everyday and I was screaming and crying for no reason. I stopped the Otezla waited a month and tried it again to make sure I was right. Unfortunately I was correct. Otezla didn't work for me."


"I had difficulties achieving a full rigid erection since my teens and never found satisfactory treatments until I was 23 when I emotionally opened up to my doctor with tears. I was sent for a Doppler scan of my penis to figure out what's going on. It turned out my left artery on the left side is narrow and I had a birth defect. My doctor showed me how to inject myself and found my dose of 14 mcg. I have not changed the dosage for 14 years. Viagra, Cialis etc. do not help me due to the birth defect. I use the prostaglandin E1 carefully and I think it's a great. I gave it 10 rating. It works."


"I'm 57 years old and I've been a diabetic for over 20 years and it has gotten harder to maintain an erection. I tried Staxyn a few nights ago and was very happy with the results. For me it worked better than Viagra, Cialis and I've even tried injectables. Those were very expensive and not comfortable."


"I love this birth control. I never had any problems other then the one side effect that was cysts on my ovaries, which I took high doses of Motrin for, and they went away within days. I did stop having a cycle for two years but 6 months ago it started up again super light, not a problem."


"After being on Prozac for 5 years( for PMDD, and general anxiety) I took myself off of it against my Doctors better judgement, and thought I was doing okay until a series of moderate to severe anxiety attacks. I saw my doctor and I was prescribed Escitalopram, and the best thing about it is I have NO OCD recurrences and very little high/low emotional disruption. I am posting this because I'm not a 'Poster', or a frequent flyer on forum sites, but I've been off my Escitalopram for about 2 weeks. I ran out and the USPS is taking a little more time than usual to deliver. I'm a MESS. Racing thoughts, crying a lot, fidgety. TOTALLY not like myself when I'm on my meds. Escitalopram is the best for me. Don't stop taking it without your docs okay."


"A miracle drug for my depression!!!"


"I've gotten the best sleep of my life on Trazodone. I've struggled with insomnia for as long as I can remember. I also take 100mg of Zoloft for depression, general and social anxiety, and OCD. The only downsides for Trazodone are the fact that it makes you a little drowsy for an hour or so after you wake up and it also can give you really weird dreams. Not nightmares, just strange dreams. I feel very energized after the drowsiness wears off."


"Has worked for 5 years.. no side effects!"


"I have been on Brintellix for 9 months, and it has helped my depression tremendously, although the nausea side effect has never gone away.  I have had to take a 4mg Zofran one to two times a day.  At my annual physical, my GP told me to get off the Zofran because there are no studies for long term use of Zofran, and there is a serotonin receptor inhibitor in it.  I take 20mg of Brintellix.  I decide to give it a try, and I can't stop vomiting.  It is so bad that I took the Zofran to control it.  Today I took a half tablet, and I feel like I'm going to vomit at any time.  I took today's dose with food.  Has anyone else had this?"


"12/14   Love It! I'm 36, have a Toddler and I am done having children. I was on birth control pills for years,  but as I'm no longer having children Mirena is a great reversible (if you so choose).
My doctor measured my uterus, cut to Mirena to size & Insertion took less than 2 minutes. A quick pinch & it was done. Your doctors skill & your body dictate the pain level, let's face it.
 I lightly cramped for a couple days afterward from my body acclimating, but otherwise, I have had zero issues. If you are looking for a long term birth control solution, Mirena is Fabulous!
"


"I was on metronidazole (flagyl) & ciprofloxacin for diverticulitis. Let me start off by saying these two medications together SUCK, however they DO work. I have never had any problems with medications...ever. (in 40 years) This time though, at times, I thought I was dying! Best described as the worst flu ever. Massive nausea, occasional vomiting, diarrhea, exhaustion, horrible taste in my mouth, nothing tasted good, and my appetite was bad. Day 4 was the peak of feeling awful. I went to every review sight trying to gather what worked to curb the symptoms. Everyone is different so what worked for others, didn't necessarily work for me. Here is what did work for me a bit, in case it can help anyone else. 1.) Try to not take them together. Split up the doses by like an hour or so. 2.) Take each dose with a little food, (even if you aren't hungry) something bland. DO NOT USE DAIRY PRODUCTS. This made my nausea worse! 3.) Have mints or candy at all times. Your mouth will feel gross and things will taste funny. However, I found spearmints also helped sooth the tummy a bit. 4.) Pepto-Bismol. 5.) Try not to take them immediately before bed at night. Give it about an hour or two. I noticed nausea will wake me up throughout the night if I take them to close to going to sleep. GOOD LUCK, and remember: Your doctor prescribed these for a reason. A reason that could turn into life threatening unless you get it controlled. The worst thing ever is to start taking an antibiotic and then stopping it mid-cycle as your body then becomes immune to it and is essentially ineffective."


"I was given Diprivan as an anesthetic during a recent breast lumpectomy. Apart from some post-anesthetic shivering in recovery (nurses gave me a pre-warmed blanket which worked well) I had absolutely no side effects. Woke feeling bright, alert and hungry. My anethestist agreed it is her anesthetic of choice."


"I decided to use this product after having no relief from Yeast Guard while suffering from a yeast infection. I am writing from my bed with my legs spread wide eagle and after a bath and 800mg Ibuprofen praying for relief. I bought this product at cvs in the morning before going to work. The product states that you can use it either in the morning or night and it's a 1 day application. Before going to work, I inserted the meds into my vagina and felt a mild burn sensation and a few minutes after that I thought wow I'm finally getting relief from the itching and burning. I was at work and suddenly my vagina was on FIRE. I jumped in my car and sped my way home into the tub. My vagina is STILL burning 2 hrs later."


"I was on lutera for 7 months. First months was ok. I had really sore and enlarged breast but I thought it was normal since my body was adjusting to the birth control. On the 4th month I had anxiety and I kept brushing it off because I thought it came from work stress by the 5th and 6th month I had anxiety almost every single day! I went to the doc and they gave me anxiety meds and antidepressants. Didn't take the antidepressants because when I took one pill made me so sick! I kept on struggling with anxiety and depression. It's hard to go to work, hang with family and my boyfriend when you have depression. I got off lutera last Friday and I still feel depressed and anxious. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I start feeling normal again."


"I have been on Taclonex and urea cream for my psoriasis for over a year now. I have also been receiving light therapy and laser light therapy as well, and it has still not cleared up. Just wondering if anyone else out there has experienced the same thing as myself and have they tried anything else. Sick of Psoriasis...."


"Tough out the first couple days and you ll be feeling better. Great for weight loss too. Dont drink on this. Great for anxiety. Great!"


"This medicine tastes awful."


"It's okay for light pain."


"I am on my 6th day of Macrobid and I still have symptoms of my urinary tract infections. I have awful headaches, the worst nausea and I'm exhausted when taking this medication. "


"It's been 3 months and it's already solving the problem I had for years. Nothing worked for my acne and extremely oily (combination) skin but this. "


"I've been taking Lutera for a year and I'm also a first timer. It works great, I used to get very heavy periods with mild cramps almost everyday. Now with Lutera I get lighter periods and almost no cramps. My only side effects are nausea and my fiance has told me that my breasts are looking much bigger. I have noticed that sometimes I eat too much and sometimes too little. My sex drive to be honest is normal. I would definitely recommend Lutera."


"Worked like a charm. No pain, just some warning cramps. Took 1.5tbps, worked in less than 3 hrs. Will use again"


"In my experience I have most often taken the Bupropion XL tablet that is oblong; and that is one that I have absolutely little to none side effects that I actually notice. However, when I got my refill from the pharmacy a few days ago, they filled half of the bupropion prescription bottle up with the normal oblong ones (on the bottom) and the strange round ones at the top. I had to actually research what the inscription on the pill meant to make sure that there hadn't been some sort of mistake. Anyway, I immediately noticed after taking this round type pill that I feel a ''buzzy'' sensation in my head that is very hard to explain. It is very disconcerting."


"I am 5'1 and weighed 132 lbs when I started taking Fastin after 3 months I had lost down to 107lbs. I never did exercises and I ate any and everything I wanted and the weight just kept dropping. So to me this is the miracle. I would definitely recommend this to anyone."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"While Moviprep is okay at clearing the colon for a colonoscopy, there are two major problems with it. First is cost. This prescription medication costs between $80 and $90 WITH insurance,  which is outrageous and confiscatory given the ingredients. Second is drinking this vile liquid. It tastes so grotesquely bad, it is nearly impossible to choke down, and you have to drink two liters of it. I wish physicians would prescribe one of less-expensive, more-palatable alternatives."


"After many years of severe menstrual cramps and using just about every other NSAID on the market, my doctor prescribed me Ponstel and it was a God-send. It was well worth the extra copay. It was the only NSAID I took, with which I did not have to extra Tylenol with codeine or Vicodin to get relief."


"Qvar was a major disappointment to me. I asked my doctor if I could try it out for my asthma because I had heard that apparently this medication goes deeper into the lungs than most other asthma medications.

Long story short, I could have inhaled water vapor and it probably would have worked better than the Qvar. If it works for you, fantastic; however, unless your asthma is very mild or very complicated, I would not recommend Qvar as a first-line treatment."


"This medication is a game changer. I've been on 20 mg once per day (at night works best for me) for about 5 months. It is by far the best medication I have tried. Initially started on 10 mg, and raised my dose 2 months in.

Pros : Overall heightened mood, more energy, ability to feel array of emotions, no sexual dysfunction (many anti-depressants are famous for cashing this), increases ability to enjoy activities I used to love.

Neutral : does not treat my anxiety very well alone.

Cons: nausea when starting the medication and increasing dose, more expensive than traditional anti depressants.

Overall, I love this medication. I will definitely continue on it. I have seen a big improvement since trying Trintellix."


"Suffered from severe RlS and hyperactivity for most of my life. It effects all of my immediate male family members and initially clonazepam was like a miracle cure. However I'm not happy taking benzodiazepines daily so i self - prescribed Gabapentin with my doctors knowledge. It works even better than the clonazepam and gives me absolutely amazing sleep too. Only drawback it can negatively effect my cognition so I have to get the balance right with the dosage. NHS have now agreed to prescribe."


"I love you all for your honest reviews and feel relieved that I am not alone! I was on Lo Loestrin FE years ago and did not notice too many side effects except nausea and some breakthrough bleeding. I am now peri-menopausal and am taking this instead of HRT but it has caused months of steady nausea, pain in my lower back, extreme breast tenderness and even terrible gas! It took me a while to put together that all these side effects were caused by this bc. Additionally, I began to feel depressed, anxious and even suicidal. This is not like me! I took the last "blue pill" today and am done with this medicine forever. I'll take my chances with hot flashes and insomnia or switch back to HRT instead of being on this med every again."


"I almost never experience major side effects from any medications, and I have been off and on many antidepressants over the past 14 years. I was taking zoloft for a couple months, which was helping with my depressive symptoms, but I though it might've been giving me sexual side effects, but I wasn't sure so my doctor suggested trying trintellix. He said it has a lower incidence of sexual side effects.  Well, not only did trintellix give me horrible sexual dysfunction and even lower libido, every time I took this drug for two weeks, I literally felt like I was coming down with the FLU about 15 minutes later.  Headaches, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, feverish.  I really do think this stuff is poisonous, and needs to be pulled from the market."


"I had a breast augmentation and was required to take 10mg 3x day for the first few days after surgery. Never felt any pain. On my bottle it warns of extreme drowsiness- don't know why this is such a shock to some. I ended up only taking 6 total and have some left over. It's been 3 years since my surgery but I'm so glad I have some on hand, as I threw out my shoulder. Yes, it will either knock you out, or keep you up. You'll feel hungover either way. But it does what it's supposed to do; if you're in enough pain, it's worth the relief."


"I have been using this medicine for about 6 months. I had 1 toenail on each foot affected. It causes swelling in my ankles and knee.  I have seen an improvement on my left foot but not that much on my right, but I used it for the same amount of time. It is swelling my feet too much. I will be stopping the use of it today. My doctor wanted me to hang in there with it. But I can not walk with this product. I switched to putting it on at night, I thought that would help the swelling but it has not. Too difficult to walk with the swelling."


"I'd like to issue a warning to anyone using this medicine. Be aware that it can cause akathisia, a movement disorder characterized by extreme restlessness, the constant need to move, anxiety and severe dysphoria. I had no name for my problem, and it was difficult to describe. I consulted my doctor and described the basic symptoms but he told me that it was my bipolar disorder causing this problem, not the medicine. He proceeded to tell me that the medicine was simply becoming ineffective. A week or two after I stopped this drug I felt better.

If you are prescribed this medication and experience ANY signs of akathisia (google it if you have to), be adamant with your doctor that the symptoms appeared after you started taking the medicine."


"This works for me with very few side effects."


"Physician was wary of keeping me on steroids on the face since the dermatitis and eczema was still coming back.

She gave me Elidel and it worked really well, things cleared up within a few days. Initial side effects were application burning and itching, but skin got used to it and I don't get that anymore.

I kept on it for several weeks and the dermatitis didn't return by itself.

I still use it for any missed spots of eczema or dermatitis that flares up. It's safe to use on top of my Avar LS wash, so now lots of my dermatitis and eczema is under control with this combo.

A personal positive side effect is that it inhibited hair growth on my upper lip where I used it."


"This was my third breakout ever! And worst ever. I am 24 yrs old if that helps. Well a small sore began to develop on my bottom lip.  Friday morning my doctor prescribed Valtrex 500mg every 12hrs. I took 1000mg by 10am. Second dose by 8pm.It is now 12:45 pm Saturday and my lip is almost back to its normal size and it is almost completely dry and in scabbing stage. Dont hesitate!"


"Blessed and complete sleep."
