"Been on bystolic for labile hypertension for one year. Medication is somewhat assisting with the high readings; but, severely detrimental with the lows (91/55). Cardiologist said this is the best medication for labile hypertension but I believe it makes me drop too low at night. Only on 2.5 mg and doctor wants to increase because I still get reasons of 120/92 in mornings.

May have to search for new medication because this one is not ideal for laabile hypertension."


"I was self medicating myself after my mom passed away. I was abusing pain pills, I had panic attacks and stayed depressed. I was mean and thought everyone was out to get me, bad with money and did not have time for my wife and two boys. I stayed ill but after a week of taking it I changed on happy no more mood swings. My wife said she can tell a big difference we always together now and I get along with everyone feel way better the only bad it's hard to get off during sex, everything works fine just can't finish not sure why."


"Had the IUD inserted on 08/01/2016 in August, no cramps initially but About 2 hours after the insertion i started feeling cramping but nothing Advil and a warm towel didnt help with.  My periods before the IUD were a maximum of 2 days and VERY light. With the IUD, my periods are 4 days long with Heavy bleeding on day 2 and 3, but a SUPER tampon and a pad could help you with that. Overall i am satisfied with the product but everyones body IS DIFFERENT! DO NOT let others reviews turn you away from giving this product a shot. If it doesnt work for you you could always have it removed."

"I felt pretty bad for the first couple days. What really helped me was eating a full meal before each dose. On the dose that you take before bed I ate a banana, dry toast and kefir probiotics drink. This really helped me not to feel nauseous in the morning. I also took a probiotics tablet in the morning.  I drank a lot of water and chewed gum for the metallic taste.  If you stick with it the medicine will work. My doctor had me continue on the probiotics after finishing these medicines."


"I was switched to Mibelas from Minastrin (probably because my insurance wanted to cover the generic.) It was effective in preventing pregnancy and after a few months my period stopped completely. In the last month or two I was on it I became very depressed and experienced mood swings. I also gained about 10lbs since starting it but I'm not positive I can attribute it to the birth control. But since being off Mibelas for 2 1/2 weeks and on Lo Loestrin I have lost around 2lbs and do not feel the depression or mood swings I felt in Mibelas."


"We rescued a kitty that had ringworm. And because of it my daughter got it. 88 of them, I got 12 of them myself. the Doctor said to use Oxistat cream and we have now been on it for two weeks, and a lot of them have gone away. It was very important to mark them all from the beginning to keep track of them even if they were no longer visible, so I can keep putting Oxistat for at least 1 month. If anyone out there is experiencing something similar I do recommend this cream, take a deep breath and be consistent."


"I love it - Byetta has helped me lose weight and after I went to 10 mg I really have to be careful about HOW much I eat.  If I eat a small portion I am fine, if I eat a large amount of food I get sick.  My advice for people who are getting sick try eating smaller portions or eat right after taking your shot.  I lost 6 lbs in one month without even trying (just eating less food).  I am finding it hard to drink water but, I am working on drinking water like I used to before using Byetta."


"I had recurrent infections. If not treated, wind up with an infection over 2-3 weeks. Doctor once thought I had tuberculous, before getting xrays.
Taking this cured it in 3 days. This works the best after trial and error over the years."


"My thighs rubbed together all the time and wearing skirts or dresses or even going to sleep made me uncomfortable...applying the gel made me comfortable...no side effects.... I am happy I found this product and my skin is alot better... I used to use powder and found that my skin got worse and hurt... After using this gel my skin is so much better...as for a primer... No thanks.... I use witch hazel as a cleaner and first aide... Anyway... Once again I am so happy I found this product...."


"My wife had major mood swings.  Irritable, would stay angry for days about the smallest things.  No sex drive, tired all the time.  An hour after taking the pill, she was a different person.  Happy, more affectionate, less tired, funny, easy going.  A miracle. She said she had always felt as though she was living her life under water or in the clouds and this medicine made things clear.  It's be wonderful. Only side effect has been some bruising."


"I tried this drug a few years ago when I was first diagnosed with tinnitus. After a couple nights of taking it the ringing became louder."


"I tried to detox myself from a 10 bag a day heroin habit and 80mgs of oxy. I would always make it 3 days until the withdrawal got so bad I had to use to not feel sick. I thought it would be impossible to quit. After being on suboxone for 3 days I have had no withdrawal symptoms and the severe depression I would get from not taking opiates was gone. I have my life back thanks to this drug and my doctor. Best choice I ever made. Suboxone + NA = Better Quality of Life"


"I hadn't gone to the bathroom in 4 days and so I decided to take 3 pills at 7 PM. Nothing happened until the next day at around 11 AM and I was experiencing cramping pains, clamminess, cold shivers, a little bit of nausea, and I was farting A LOT. About 30 minutes of this, I had to run to the toilet because I had to go so bad. Lets just say I was relieved of my constipation by a great deal. Sure, there were some side effects but it was worth it. I feel great now!"


"I have suffered from hereditary clinical depression for several years. The death of my mother, two loved animals (horse and dog), a divorce that is endless and painful, have all added to my depression, and a new doctor prescribed Fetzima. Now I feel totally insane. My stomach hurts every time I eat; my heart pounds to the point that I wonder if I should go to an ER almost every day; I can't fall asleep and when I do I have stressful nightmares (never had bad dreams before); and every day I feel an anger and rage that makes no sense at all. I have to remind myself to take a deep breath and not act out this new mean personality on my dogs or my friends. No matter what my doctor's opinion, this poison stops tomorrow."


"I had a blister that got infected from wearing tight boots for a few hours and then bam! I got an infection so I went to the nurse and got me some pills of Keflex for 4X a day for five days and an antibiotic cream. I feel much better. Don't ever wear tight shoes, ever."


"Had really bad hayfever for the past x6 years and tried the commercial brand tablets but had no effect.
This hayfever season after a trip to the doc advised fexofenadine and it worked for me with no side effects."

"I started getting migraines when I was about 12 years old. I had terrible migraines on and off for about 3 years. I finally went to the doctor and he put me on Topamax. I have been taking it for about a year now and the only time I get migraines is when I don't refill my prescription right away. Even though I get the occasional migraine, it is nothing compared to what it was before I started taking the medicine. Also, I have not noticed any side effects. Topamax is a miracle!"


"Me and my girlfriend had sex and the condom broke. We went to get Plan B 7 hours later and her period came 5 days early. Don't worry, I know the wait is bad but it will come eventually. Try to worry less and everything will be alright!"


"I was diagnosed for OCD 20 years ago, went on zoloft, prozac, paxil and celexa, none of them worked in a long run. So I stop taking meds, but at times, I would get depress for no reason for weeks. I have constant thoughts running in my mind, mostly I am sad, and small things can make me angry, sensitive to sound(phone ringing, door bell, people talking). Now I was diagnosed as Bi polar,and was put on Lamictal 25mg and after 2 weeks increase to 50mg and than 75mg. Thoughts process was gone and was feeling happy. Anger and sensitivity to sound were still there.

        But 6 weeks on Lamictal, I had sore throat and than running nose, sneezing, flu type symptoms and than I notice rash on my chest, so I stop Lamictal. anyone with similar experi"


"Very helpful, but feel antst at times."


"I'm a woman who's had IBS for 50 years. A male GI was no help—his notes said I was "too concerned with my bowel movements". Apparently a skeptic about IBS. I saw a PA, who prescribed Amitiza. I took 24 mcg 2x daily more than a year, which worked well until I started having episodes of thin diarrhea without warning. I discontinued Amitiza and my bowels worked normally for a couple of months, but the old familiar constipation is back. I will try 24 mcg once a day. I have no idea if that will work, and realize that my PA would prefer monitoring me. However, I feel at this point that I have enough sense about my own body to make this decision myself. Just be aware: even if the drug works well, your response to it may change."


"I took this for a Sinusitis/Bronchitis infection and it started clearing up after the second day. The only appreciable symptom I've noticed is the diarrhea which I will be talking to the NP about today."


"I tested HIV  on 8/11/15 and started taking Stribild on 8/25/15.
On 8/25/15 my CD4 Count was 576 and HIV Viral Load was 52992. I took Stribild at night before bed with 16oz of water. In the morning I drank another 16oz bottle of water along with (1)Selenium 200mcq and (1)L-Glutathione 500mg, what I took in the morning. I started working out at the gym 4(x) week faithfully and on 9/25/15 I went to the Dr to get my new blood test results and my CD4 Count was 795 and HIV Viral Load was 28. I was told that I was "UNDETECTABLE," I Thank God for the results. I am on the right track and had NO SIDE EFFECTS"


"I am 60 years old and have been using Climara 50 patches since 2008 (9 years).  It has definitely relieved the night sweats and the constant anxiety feeling.  I have tried a couple of times to go on a half dose but the symptoms resume, but I will try again. I have never had problems with the patch itself.  The edge can be a little sticky when I put it on, but I always wipe a smear of talcum powder around it to prevent it sticking to my clothes.  I now have a serious hearing problem (not resolved) so of course I'm concerned that it may be connected with this medication, but six years ago I had a massive amount of antibiotics for a staph infection following surgery, so of course this could be the cause."


"This drug has saved my sanity.  I was undiagnosed with a debilitating vomiting sickness.  In hospital at least once a week via ambulance.  Repetitive vomiting and could not stop.  To the point where I would become unresponsive.  After about a month into my undiagnosed sickness, at the emergency room, a nurse gave me a wafer of Zofran.  It was a huuuuge relief as my uncontrollable vomiting stopped within 10 minutes.  I had not heard of the drug but after finally been diagnosed, after 6 months, as having Severe Idiopathic Gastroparesis I found my new best friend.  As well as having a kidney transplant and taking a bucket full of anti-rejection meds, I was soooo grateful that some smart cookie out there invented this drug.  Saved my life"


"I have to take more than the normal dosage for any pain to be relieved. I do not take it every day though. However, you notice when the tramadol is leaving your system when you take an extra pill or two because the pain will come back threefold. Also, I have no clue why,  but I have trouble peeing after taking tramadol no matter what the dose, it's weird."


"I've had a severe manic episode and was put on antipsychotics which helped calming me down but I was still a bit manic. When put on lithium I felt a lot better because mania ceased. The difference between antipsychotics and litihium for me was like if antipsychotics stepped on the brake and lithium lifted the gas pedal.

The only, but still significant, side effect I've had is less short term memory.

Lithium stabilize my mood, less anxiety and stress (less diarrhea, less neck pain, more relaxed), better sleep not just because mania stopped but also because overall well being

I'm very satisfied with lithium as a mood stabilizer"


"Been talking this medication  so long, don't see where it is helping because I still have the same symptoms over and over."


"I began taking Enbrel in 2008 for severe RA after a year of trying a series of other drugs.   I lforgot I had RA.  Last Nov. I stopped taking it because I had to be on chemo.  Things were fine until April when I went into a full blown flare.  Extreme morning stiffness lasted 6 hours or more.  My thumbs were virtually useless.  I hobbled like I was 95 years old with excruciating pain in my feet, knees, hips and neck.  I took morphine which did little to suppress the pain.  After consulting with my oncologist and rheumatologist I took my first injection of Enbrel in June - expecting it to take another month or longer to stop the flare.  I felt much relief 2 days later.  Now I'm almost back to normal."


"Okay, so I got back together with my boyfriend after 6 months apart...one thing led to another which led to us being together with no condom.  I was definitely fertile as it was right in the "window".  He wasn't worried about it, but I was freaking out, but didn't get to use the pill until like 36 hours after having sex several times.

Now, let me first say that the pill DID work after A LOT of stressing.  I had a forced period about a week after taking it, but then nothing for about a month and a half.  Considering side effects, I would have been better off just taking my chances.  I've had everything from pimples to nausea to cramps...to gaining like 5 pounds. Now I'm in the middle of the worst period EVER!   So it worked, but NEVER AGAIN!"


"I'm a 33 yr old female who has experienced mild acne for most of my life. I have tried everything from over the counter products to antibiotics for 3 months. It was just recently that I started using Atralin (3 weeks now) & I don't need to worry about wearing makeup anymore (dream come true). This medication is definitely worth a try paired with other treatments. I currently get a chemical peel once a month, plexion cloths to wash 2x a day and Atralin at night. If my skin continues this way I will be a happier person as I don't even worry about hiding my face anymore. "


"I have had a hacking cough for about a month that was severely hindering my ability to sleep.  I've only used this medicine for one night and last night was the best night's sleep in over a month.  Even my boyfriend said I didn't cough in my sleep or toss and turn.  This medicine is the third medicine I have tried in this past month.  I couldn't ask for a better product."


"The only side effect is the cough, other than that, I tolerate it perfectly with no other side effects."


"Recently diagnosed with PCOS so I decided to start BC only because my periods were non existent. I've been on the patch for a month. So far I love it, I am way more tired than before but that's about it."


"Falling from the third floor into concrete and suffering for strong pain in back and neck."


"I got the nexplanon in February, since then I have literally had a period for four months. It is going to be June soon and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. I am soaking about 10 panty liners a day including overnight use! This does not make me feel sick, or nauseous but it's VERY difficult to keep buying pads, I never spent this much when's I didn't use birth control! I believe this is 100% effective in preventing pregnancy... BECAUSE MY HUSBAND WILL NOT TOUCH ME ANYMORE! He and I are both very insecure about my amount of blood, it is difficult to want to be intimate when it feels like a water slide! Overall very displeased with this, I feel lied to. And I feel like this constant blood flow should've been talked about more often!!"


"It helped me fall asleep and get a full night of sleep. It was not hard for me to stop taking it. I did not wake up feeling grogy."


"I have taken this before in my life. I can't take regular b.c. pills Because even the lowest dose effects me very badly. I go crazy in short. I don't know many other people that it effects this way. I took Plan B recently the 4th day after an incident (this decreases the effectiveness being this late). I bled lightly for a month and then it stopped 4 a few days and I got my period. It always seems 2 effect me intensely. I'm bloated feel general malaise it increases the freq. of my migraines,I gain ~10lbs I am so tired and on an intense emotional rollercoaster for a mo. to 2 months after. This is similar to how regular birth control effects me. I've never gotten pregnant after using it. SO WORTH ALL THE SIDE EFFECTS. It works and side effects are temporary. Worth it"


"Feel so good when it finally start working at day #15. Feel calm in public for the first time in my life. Only cons is not able to orgasm and increased sweating."


"I've been on Terbinafine for almost a month.  I haven't noticed any results yet, but haven't really looked because I didn't think it worked that fast.  I've recently developed queasiness at times and lethargy.  Which could be from a variety of sources.  Not sure.  I have not experienced any side effects other than those.  I'm hoping I lose my taste for foods.  I'm hoping it causes weight loss.  My luck, I'll be one that doesn't suffer that.  I have no doubt this will work, which is why I gave it the highest score already.  I'll report back in a few months."


"To be fair to the Butrans patch, I didn't give it a long trial run.  I had to take it off in less than 24 hours because the side effects were so severe.  Previously I had taken Percocet as needed, but because of the good reviews, I decided to try the Butrans patch.  It was a really bad idea.  The patch put me into a terrible withdrawal from Percocet only hours after applying it.  I had severe akathisia (restless body), stomach pain, diarrhea, and I even started seeing things & hearing conversations in my head.  It also made my pupils huge, so anyone who saw me must've known that I was high.  It was so embarrassing!  I couldn't get that patch off fast enough.  I'd rather live with the pain from my spinal fusions, than ever try Butrans again."


"I have tried them all. Did not like the side effects from basically all of them. Pristiq is different. The the side effects seem almost the same but different in a few ways. I love sex. Taking Pristiq has the same results as the other medicines with one exception. Stop taking for a day and you are back in business. The other medicines would take much longer to get out of your system. "


"Doctor prescribed Zocor to lower Cholesterol (269 total and triglyceride 377, way too high). I took it after evening meal with full glass of water as directed. Within the hour I had a raging headache; my heart was pounding. I could hear the blood pulse through my head (I have 2 maybe 3 headaches per year so this was not normal). I spent a very long and painful, sleepless night, waiting and suffering. I tell you this much, 9:00am couldn't arrive fast enough. Doctor told me "headache" was not a side effect of Zocor and to keep taking it. I stopped against doctors advice and now feel great again. Cholesterol is still very high but no more headaches."


"If I could give this shot 0 stars I would. One is really pushing it. I got the depo in the middle of January, it is now the beginning of Feb & yesterday I was at the ER and my Drs office all day. I woke up having horrible cramps, then it led to blood clots with grayish tissue looking stuff inside, it was nothing I've ever seen before, I passed about 6 of those then the pain started to be mild again and easier to deal with. I've never had a miscarriage but If I could image what the pain felt like it would be that! DO NOT GET THIS SHOT. I'm scheduled for another & I'm cancelling, I would much rather take a pill every day! After dealing with it all day, and now I'm on the 11th day of my period, it was confirmed it was a side effect to the shot"


"This birth control is good for me, but I did have MAJOR side effects. I had almost constant bleeding for about 4 months, and nausea for the first month. After that though, everything is smooth sailing! The only other complaint I would have is breast tenderness."


"My son started running a mild fever (100.2), and I took him to the doctor the same day. He tested positive for Flu B, so the Dr prescribed Tamiflu. I also started feeling sick the same day, so I started Tamiflu as well. We both took our double dose that same day. The next day my son woke up with a mild fever, but it went away without Advil or Tylenol. I woke up feeling 10xs better than I did the day before. We have been continuing our tamiflu twice daily, and plan on finishing it. We are on day 3. I think the people who have negative reviews, for one did not start it soon enough, and two you have to finish all of your tamiflu as prescribed. You can't stop, because you feel better. It was worth the price for us! Amazing stuff!"


"I started my weight loss journey on December 28, 2015, weighing 250 at 5'4
On January 13, 2016 I started taking 30mg Phen.

The first two weeks without Phen, I lost 5 pounds (3 one week, 2 the next) . I cut my calories and walked 2 miles 5 days a week, which is about 40 minutes of fast walking for me.

After taking Phen I was HARDLY hungry. Before it seemed  like my 1600 calories a day wasn't enough because I would wake up and go to bed hungry. After taking Phen, I would average about 700-1000 calories a day and I felt fine. I have so much more energy that I increased from 2 miles to 2.5 miles and it takes me 47 mins.
In the next two weeks of taking Phen and sticking to my diet, I lost a total of 9 pounds. 5 one week, 4 the next. It works!"


"I took this drug for 6 months due to weight loss-no appetite-down to 75 pounds.
My old insurance covered--then when new insurance was started in jan 2014, no coverage available.
This was WONDERFUL!!! For the first time in my life, I was hungry, enjoyed food and was always looking forward to my next meal. I would purchase if I could afford because this was the BEST thing that could happen to me--someone who has NO appetite!!  No side effects for me."


"I had surgery and was prescribed hydroxyzine hcl 25 mg with my hydrocodone  for pain to keep from vomiting.  I took it every 6 hrs as prescribed, however I definitely had a severe reaction.  Night tremors and night paralysis and hallucinations.  I woke up thinking I was being followed by ghosts or that another episode where 2 teens were breaking into our house and I could do nothing.  My husband said I woke screaming of rats in the bed but have no memory of it.  Truly the scariest med I have ever been on."


"I have been using the Elocon lotion everytime when eczema was there, it cured. Just speechless and I'm thankful I got the Elocon lotion for the first time when I suffered eczema since I have tried everything out there and done a lot of researches, but it seems Elocon did the job impressively well. Got my life back.

Ps. #1 cure Elocon"


"I've been diagnosed and treated 20 years ago for major depression (used Prozac).  Last year I was diagnosed again for major depression and doctor suggested I try Wellbutrin so it would not affect my sexual desire and give me some energy.  I did well the first few weeks on the starter dose 75mg/day. Then they up to 150mg/day and I had a major emotional reaction.  My body went into crying spells for 20 minutes and I couldn't control it.  It was a weird thing. Stopped it immediately - took 2 days to wear off. "


"Be careful when taking this medicine. Very helpful to relieve depression, but will interfere with your sleep. After only taking it for 4 days, I was fired for falling asleep on the job because I did not hear the phone or the knock on the dept door.  I do not remember going to sleep as I usually would and normally I'm a very light sleeper. It also made me sweat a lot and I lost the ability to cry. On the good side, it relieved my depression, I lost my appetite and my thoughts became much clearer."


"I just started taking this medication (20 mg) a little over a week ago and I already notice a difference. I have more energy and I feel up to doing more things around the house rather than just sitting around all day. I haven't had any major side-effects other than some mild nausea in the beginning (which stopped after the third day), and some trouble falling asleep at night. I take it in the mornings now and I'm doing great on it. I've also noticed that I only eat when I'm actually hungry now instead of eating just to eat. I hope it continues to help me feel this great."


"Zyprexa has changed my life. I can function better and I have better temperament.  It is the best bipolar medicine out there."


"Made my feet swell"


"I am 18 with no kids and decided I wanted to go through medical school without having to worry about having a child so decided on Skyla.  For the insertion I took one Xanax I don't remember the dosage but my experience was pretty much painless a slight burning feeling when she pulled on my cervix but nothing more! My period has lightened a ton! But the cramps I get during my period are very painful! Overall I love it and am a firm believer in it!"


"It makes my hand a little shaky."


"I've had depression, anxiety and anger issue and this medicine has been the best for me. I noticed a difference with my emotions within a week or two of taking this medicine. I would recommend it to anyone."


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia ten years ago.  I had a great deal of pain and a significant anxiety component.  I've been on Cymbalta for the last five years and my fibro has been in remission for most of that time.  I take no regular pain medications. My mood is good and anxiety attacks are rare.  We lost our son in an accident 3 years ago and I felt strong enough to deliver his eulogy with resolve and confidence.  I know that Cymbalta works for me because on the occasions that I've missed my dose two or more days in a row I feel like sobbing over things that wouldn't even get my attention when I'm taking Cymbalta as prescribed.  I will gladly keep taking it for the rest of my life if it will keep me out of pain and free of anxiety."


"I started Bleviq and did get headaches and fatique the first week, then it went away. I sleep so good when I take it at night and not tired anymore with my first dose in a.m. and have lost 16 pounds with drinking a lot of water and watching what I eat. I love this pill -I would never take anything for weight loss but I will stay on this one to my goal I was 192 lbs 5'1" on May 9th and down to 173 on June 13th"


"This was the 3rd bowel prep; first time with Sureprep. It was also my worst bowel prep experience. I wish I had thought to look up reviews before agreeing to use this prep. The taste was unbelievably awful. It was all I could do to get it down. The effects after the first bottle hit me like a ton of bricks about 30" after getting it down. Quite frankly , it was so intense I did not make it to the bathroom in time. Needless to say I camped out in there the rest of the night. The worst however was the terrible burning  at the rectum from the liquid towards the end of this bad experience. The other preps I was prescribed in the past were also not pleasant but these side effects were the worst. Belching and some nausea were also issues."


"I could give this product 20 rating but it only goes up to 10.  That's how much I loved it.  In a professional setting, you don't wanna smell funky or wear a jacket all day because of sweat.  That was me for the past several years.  I mentioned it to my OBGYN and she asked me to try this and I did.  Boy was I surprised.  I don't care about the itchiness that comes with using it.  To me that means its working its magic (lol).  The best part is that I can wear my shirts and when I take them off, they're not sweat stained.  Whoever made Hypercare, please keep making more great products like these."


"So i'd like to post this because like many of you i read all these experiences before i took the medicine. i have a horrible phobia of throwing up and after reading the experiences on here i was so terrified i almost cried. It took me nearly a half an hour just to swallow the medicine( powder version) because i was scared of all the side effects. So after i took it i sat down shaking with bad anxiety waiting for the worst to happen. Take these reviews lightly. I had minimum to no side effects. It has now been two days since i took it and i feel fine. The most i can say is i pooped one time and had a weird stomach sensation but that is it. So please don't be nervous just know after you take it it will make you feel better"


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I had no problems with this medication it smells good kinda like a light vanilla scent and the taste isn't bad at all I love it. I have a peanut allergy so I have to be careful with the prenatal vitamins I buy but my Dr gave me these a few packs of these and it works great. I haven't had any problems at all so now I just need to find out where they sell these at or if I can get a prescription for it. This will be my 5th kid and out of all the prenatal vitamins I ever took these are definitely the best"


"The only complaint I have about this birth control is bad tension headaches and fatigue, but I'll take that over weight gain and acne which fortunately this birth control doesn't cause at all! it also made my cysts go away and is free or really cheap with insurance. would recommend to anyone!"


"Works great!"


"I started taking Copaxone in mid-August 2016.  The first 3-4 months, I didn't notice any real difference. After the first few weeks, I didn't have any more site reactions.  For the last two months, I'm experiencing terrible joint pain. Leg cramps in the middle of the night, my hips are stiff; my shoulders hurt. just a little while ago, my hand was shaking sooo bad. It's scared me. So here's the thing - I'm not experiencing any of the other MS symptoms that I had before taking Copaxone. Gone are those electrical shock sensations, I'm not really  more numb, the weird feeling that runs down my spine. It seems like I've traded one set of symptoms for another.  Before copaxone, I enjoyed exercising. Now not so much. :("


"Depakote has been a life saver for me. I take 250mg in the morning and 500mg at bedtime. Weight gain was minimal. 5 lbs that I have lost recently by going on the South Beach Diet. I also take 200mg Zoloft. I sleep okay, but usually need a nap in the afternoon. I look forward to my life now instead of just existing."


"Very effective. I would feel pleasant within 15 - 20 minutes of taking one tablet of Tenormin. No side effects felt."


"I was on citalopram, for about two years. After being off of antidepressants for a while, citalopram worked like a charm for my anxiety. I started mellowing out and finding myself less and less anxious. I really came out of my shell and started being more outgoing and happy.

However, this medication also came with some side effects that never went away, like dry mouth and fatigue. I could literally sleep all afternoon even after sleeping 8 hours the night before. I also felt numb to emotions and never felt high or low...just there. I had a breakdown last fall and got off the medication idiotically. When I got back on it, it decreased my anxiety but did not help me get back on the "happy wagon.""


"I have polycystic ovarian cysts. I used to be on Tri-Sprintec, the polyphasic version of this pill, and had the worst headaches from the hormone changes every week.  Switching to Sprintec seems to have solved the issue.  My acne and hair issues, courtesy of PCOS, have improved, and I feel better overall.  I did gain about three pounds, but I started the medication shortly before the holiday season so it could have been a product of too many parties.  Definitely worth a try if you need a higher estrogen level pill.  Plus, it's affordable even without insurance."


"I have used it for over 20 years and it truly changed my life.  My Dermatologist told me about it.  By using it, I was able to give a firm handshake and get an excellent job.  I though I would eventually not need it, but am in my 60's and still depend on it to control my sweaty palms. I love it and recommend it whole heartedly."


"Amazing ... I was on YAZ and it caused spotting and weight gain, after a year they switched me to Portia and I lost all the weight and haven't spotted since; also my PMS is completely nonexistent now and the killer mood swings I experienced on YAZ are gone too.  I can't stop raving about how great Portia is, it made me feel like myself again."


"In my last post, I had lost 8lb in 2.5 weeks. Starting weight was 181lbs, I currently weigh 168. I have been on Phentermine for about 6 weeks. I have had a busy summer, in which I would usually gain weight however, I have continued to lose even though my busy schedule makes it hard to work out every day. Currently down 13 lbs! I will begin to increase my workout schedule as I am not as busy anymore. Hoping to lose another 10-15lbs within the next 8 weeks (maybe more!)."


"I received this implant 11/13/15. Insertion was quick,painless until after a few minutes. Purplish bruising began, heavy bleeding, dime to quater clots as well. Bleeding and spoting (red and brown) has lasted on and off since insertion day. The first week at least. Cramps got worse, moods varied frequently and depression came about. Bad acne, dry mouth and pelvic pains also becomes apparent. Weight fluctuates. Prevents pregnancy and doesn't interrupt breastfeeding but wouldn't recommend."


"My seven year old son has been on Intuniv for three weeks now. His behavior at school and home is finally starting to improve. He is much more focused and less irritable. Although in the end of week one and beginning of week two of this medicine, he was very cranky and irritable. He is sleepy in the afternoons, but he also takes Clonidine along with this medicine, which also makes him sleepy. So I hope the sleepiness improves. He has started the last week having severe stomach pain. He gets up many times in the night saying his tummy feels funny and he gets some diarrhea in the night. He also has a harder time staying asleep at night, which is new. Hoping the stomach pain stops so we can continue the medicines, as I feel they are helping him."


"Suffered with Fibromyalgia for several years. I was asked to try all the antidepressants, etc. Their side effects rendered me more useless, not able to function at all in daily life. I had taken Vicoprofen 1/2 tablet (half by choice) 3-4 x's day for several years and Lidoderm patch every morning on my cervical spine, hips and knee's. I had no desire to live. I was going through the motions. 3 weeks ago I started Savella. 1/4 the recommended dose for 10 days. Then 1/4 the next dose. 1st week I felt a difference. By week 2 my husband said he hadn't heard me mention pain. I cautiously said I'm in no pain and on no pain pills or patches and don't need to nap and can sleep. I'm very active and can do anything. Start VERY slow, with low doses. Now on 25mg once in the morning with a full breakfast! "


"I have a 7 year old son with ADHD. He was diagnosed at 4 years old. Through the years he has been on 3 different medications. Ritalin was first and it did help with his hyperactivity level, however he still had problems with impulsiveness. Then he was on Focalin XR and that did nothing with his impulsiveness and hyperactivity. Now he is on Vyvanse and that has helped with ADHD symptoms. The only problem that I am currently having is that he has days where he is extremely emotional. He has days where he is getting upset over minor details like coming home after playing at a friends house. I am not sure if this is drug related or ADHD related. Impulsive people have problems containing their emotions."


"Epiduo is worth it. It was 3 months of flaking, burning, and more irritated acne than before, but after the worst months in my skin's history, I woke up one morning and my face was just better. I used to have my entire jawline covered in painful cystic acne, but now I wake up to maybe a pimple or 2 at most. I promise that if you don't give up, it will pay off. This is one happy customer.

If your skin ever gets too irritated, stop using Epiduo for a few days. Taking Epiduo every 3 days is always better than giving up.

(Also, it cost $85 out of pocket but I've been using the same bottle for 4 months.)"


"I just started taking Concerta again and I have noticed big differences in my attention span and being able to focus more. I was on it for quite some time when I was younger and then wanted to come off of it in the 10th grade. Now several years later I asked to go back on it and I noticed big changes in school and I thank God for this drug to help me get back to a somewhat normal state."


"Took half dose, 15 mg, and spent two days feeling terrible. It caused chest and back pain, shortness of breath, confusion, dizziness, anxiety, and a general really sick feeling. It did relieve angina but it was not worth the side effects. Really bad medicine."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"I have been on genvoya for almost a year now I switched from another medication due to gastrointestinal complications with these medications. I still experience daily bouts of bloating constipation and the inability to clear my bowel. The doctor says I should get a colonoscopy although I had a sigmoidoscopy they found nothing my blood test and fecal samples came back normal I think these medications have it out for my intestines. There are days where there are no issues then there are days where I'm in the bathroom for at least 4 to 5 hours off and on feeling like I could probably die right here on the toilet. I just want relief from my gastrointestinal issues related 2 genvoya.."


"As a disclaimer, I have not taken birth control for over ten years. That said, I decided it would be the right choice with a new partner in tow. The first week I started Lutera, I experienced dryness around my lips. As I entered week two, I began experiencing dryness around the labia. The change in hormones affected me adversely as I became irritable and anxious for no reason apparent.  It became very clear the pill was thinning the walls of my vagina and natural lubrication disappeared when I had normal intercourse with my partner and I was torn inside.  I experienced quite a bit of tearing and consequent bleeding from those rips.  I remained on the pill for a full month.  My lips progressively became more dry and cracked."


"Ugh. I am really disappointed because I had high hopes for this pill. My doctor told me my periods would be short (around 2 days), and light. Well, my periods did shorten to 2 days; however, I got 3 periods a month. Also, my face erupted with terrrrrrrible cystic acne. Worse than it has ever been in my entire life. I will say that this pill  caused virtually no mood swings, which is a HUGE plus compared to previous pills I have tried. I really, truly tried to stick this pill out. I even considered going on accutane to clear up breakouts. But then I realized that the mood swings I gave up with lo loestrin would probably just return due to accutane. My body did not do well adapting to this pill. I've been on this pill 4 months too long :("


"Taclonex seemed to work the first day or two, but then nothing plus, it is greasy and very expensive. "


"When I first started taking it it didn't have any effect except minor stomach cramping which I wasn't even sure if it was from drug.  I stopped taking it but my doctor told me to take once in morning and once at night. I also began taking Lialda which has same ingredients again morning and night two pills.  After about a month or two I had a dramatic positive affect. I've tried getting off it but my symptoms return. It is effective for bleeding and liquid stool. I sometimes still feel the need to evacuate without anything there but as long as I consistently take it, I have little if any problems"


"I'm 18 yrs old, My boyfriend & I had protected sex but condom broke and i woke up next morning feeling sick so, i had him go buy me this pill. Needless to say, it worked and i'm not pregnant. However, the side effects are insane. I immediately had terrible back pain (never had that before), cramps that felt like period cramps, nausea, dizziness, headaches, and bloating. I had to miss a day of school due to the insane amount of side effects. Not to mention my period came a week after taking the pill when i wasn't supposed to get my period for 2 more weeks! That's frustrating because i just had my period last week and now i have it again, even heavier this time. BUT on a positive note, I'm not pregnant!!"


"I said I would do a review if it worked and here I am "


"I take a class once a week and get back late that night and it takes me a while to fall asleep so my doctor prescribe me lunesta ,the generic it.
For the most part it works but it takes a while to kick in. I was originally told to take one, my doctor told me to try to see how that works. When it kicks in I feel like I sleep longer somedays. I only pay 10.00 co pay on this med!"


"As far as the treatment of my anxiety, it's truly been amazing. I've felt much better since starting. However, also since starting I've lost my appetite a bit and have lost some weight."


"This has been a miracle drug for me and my wife, it has brought a balance between us that has never been there. She can tell when I am not taking it right away within hours of missing a dose, it is truly a life saver. The clarity it brought has given me a whole new lease on life."


"Took two at 8:00 pm. By 10:30 pm had severe cramps. Spent from 12:30-3:30 on the toilet with severe diarrhea. Had to take an Imodium to go to work the next morning as I'm still using the bathroom every 30 min. I will throw the rest in the trash. One of the worst nights of my life. I've used stool softener without such effects. Next time prunes and coffee!"


"I have been taking this for a few days and it makes me feel totally wiped out.  I have normal blood pressure usually and this just lowers it so bad that I feel BLAH.. I wonder if taking it before bed would be a better way to take it."


"This pills really works!. I had a presentation yesterday and I took 3 20mg pills (60mg in total) 2 hours before my presentation and I was nerves before presenting and nerves seconds before I was to speak, but 4 seconds into my speech I didn't feel the nerves at all! I was so surprised! Please if you have fear of doing speeches take this pill. Also practice your speech! Practice also helps! Good luck!"


"I've been using tretinoin in the 0.1 gel form for almost 2 years and let me tell you it is possibly the best skin product you will ever own. //The beginning is hard, naturally the skin needs time to adjust so for the first few months of treatment you will experience a lot of redness, patchiness and obviously flaking and you may also experinece periods of very ugly break outs if u have many clogged pores hiding under the surface as the retin a will exfoliate the skin and slowly 'activate' ur pores to enable them to unclog without the need for manual extraction and without scarring. the key with retin a is patience, SPF and lots of moisturizing. do not quit before ur skin gets better and resist the temptation to extract acne yourself. G Luck."


"I had to take all 4 pills at once for the first time which was 3 "


"I had this implant inserted in July of 2015 and now, almost November, i haven't stopped bleeding since the week after I had it inserted. Also my mood has completely changed. My mom tells me that I'm not the same happy person anymore and I've gained 10 pounds. I exercise regularly and eat healthy. It's a great birth control for preventing pregnancy because there's non stop bleeding! Don't recommend this at all. Better experience with the pill"


"I have been on 120 mg of Cymbalta daily for 8 months, as well as another year and a half at 60 mg. I take it for anxiety, MDD, OCD, panic disorder, PTSD, etc. In addition to 10 mg of Abilify and a benzo I am feeling almost back to normal. This happens to be one medicine that helps me, and I have tried many SSRI's over the years."


"I have been on Nexplanon since December 11, 2015. My experience so far with nexplanon is great. Hopefully, it will stay that way. My period has came on the same time it usually come on since I have been on this type of birth control. I had a little spotting in between periods for two or three. The only other side effects is nausea and increased appetite. I am fine with that because I could use a little weight gain. Overall, I ,m satisfied."


"Horrible weight gain and constant migraines. Had to discontinue."


"I am 41 years old and my blood pressure has risen. I'm told that I am spilling protein. I'm put on 10 mg. of zestril per day. I take the same amount even today.  Zestril has a kidney protector in the drug. 2007 I'm taken to a hospital where they have a heat team waiting, but I'm told it's my stomach! I'm put on Prilosec, in 2010 I'm put on nexium. In the spring of 2016 I'm told that can not take nexium anymore because it can cause kidney issues! This summer I'm told that I have cyst all over my kidneys."


"I got on depo in April and a little bit later around may I noticed weight gain in my arms not so much my stomach in July I went to take my second shot and every since the second shot I always feel bloated I have gain extreme weight in my stomach and face . I have always been thick but never had a tummy now I have a gut . I'm always hungry irritated all the time and the worst mood swings. "


"I first had this shot in 1997, I had two but felt sick all the time, my periods did stop though. Came off it and went back on the pill, didn't have a period for a year and a half. In 2000 I decided to give it another go, soon settled down and didn't have any periods at all, stayed on it for 14 years. It was fabulous, no periods or spotting. But, I was suffering from depression which is a side effect of depo I decided to come off it. Started my first period after about 10 days and it lasted about a month and it stank. Had about a weeks break and then bleeding again, thick dark brown clots. In the end I gave up and went back on it, after 3 injections still having random spotting, lasting random amounts of time. Just hope it settles down again"


"I suffer with regular UTI's due to a chronic pelvic prolapse I can't get anyone to take seriously. Since having a hysterectomy and estrogen-suppression therapy for adjuvant therapy for cancer the UTI's have worsened.

Bactrim does have side effects, but since I can't take Macrobid, I'm stuck with this or Cipro.  I'm starting to think I'm developing a resistant strain of infection, but the Bactrim seems to take care of it."


"I started 10mg today and I feel so loopy, my mouth is very dry, and kind of anxious and my head is hurting after 1 dose.  I don't know if I will take a 2nd dose.  I was prescribed 10mg 2x day."


"5 stars!!! Acne gone, my hair is stronger and shiny!!!"


"BRAND TEMOVATE works; generic does not!!  From personal experience, and that of a friend (I had brand, she had generic).  I am cured, she is not.  Also, hormone replacement orally and topically of estrogen plus testosterone helped greatly with the cure.  I keep the area clean, using liquid soap plus Hibiclens.  After drying I lightly use Nystop powder.  I apply the topicals 2x daily.  I can again enjoy sex, climaxing, and also have a normal life...just like I used to have.

I had to appeal my insurance decision to get brand Temovate."


"I have plantar fasciatis in both feet which had changed my gait until I had bursitis in both hips and was in quite a bit of pain.  Within 24 hours the bursitis and pain in my feet had subsided!  I have no trouble getting around at all now and can take long walks without paying for it later.  Incredible!  Love them.  I use them on both insteps 24 hours a day."


"I took this medicine the night I spiked a temp of 102.9 and a few hours later I was able to sleep, I woke up and my fever was nearly gone, the coughing, body aches, and sweating were too. Mid-day I felt very good, I felt like I was going to be hospitalized before the medicine started to work, I was really sick. The one thing is the Tamiflu makes me real tired and I feel a little disoriented and dizzy, but I take that over the way I felt."


"I've taken Contrave and 0.25mg of Topamax for 7 days. I've lost 6 lbs. Very happy. Side effect symptoms include: Mental Fog, Short Term Memory Loss, Anxiety, Depression. The Brain fog and Anxiety/Depression are awful. I'm hoping the symptoms go away soon. Haven't experienced the headaches (maybe b/c of the Toprimate) & no night sweats! Meds have eliminated cravings & emotional eating. Thought Wellbuterin was an anti-depressant but I'm uncharacteristically depressed & anxious. So Weird! Is this how everyone else is feeling? I plan to lose 30 lbs by February. I'll update."


"I followed the directions and used before bed. I was actually in bed when I inserted it because I didn't want it to drain. Nearly $16 and here I am 4 days later with no relief at all. It burned and itched like previous post said, not as extreme as others because I try not to rub, scratch, just rinse and pat dry with hot water. It's a joke and I am contacting corporate. I need a REFUND!"


"Calm down guys and ladies! I know how does it feel, I've been in my darkest times in this review website thinking my life was thrown away for a stupid moment... but this freakin' thing really works! seriously, its an absolutely bad luck if this does not work for you, the odds are 2% that this thing fail, trust me, I did lots of research... CALM DOWN FOLKS."


"I received the synvisc one injection 3 months ago, it did not help my pain ,it causes me more pain and suffering. I barely can walk or sleep. The back of my knee after waking up  to start my day, I can't bend my knee without extremely pain. A week after injection I had started dragging my leg because the pain is unbearable. How can I have this injection removed from my knee. I can't live with this very very very very bad pain from the synvisc one injection. the back and front of my knee is agony."


"I had to take two and they did not start working for a hour and minimal pain relief lasted for about two hours. I have extreme pain for the first three days of my cycle where I am at a point of wondering if I should go to the ER."


"I started taking prozac in April of 2016 for anxiety and depression. It took about a month to actually start working. I feel better going into public and don't freak out and go into the bathroom. I'm still depressed but its improved so much. It gave me side effects like lose of appetite. I lost 10 pounds my first month taking it and I was always tired but had trouble falling asleep. Another negative is if I miss it a day I have painful headaches and lash out on everyone and treat them terrible."


"Have had generalized and social anxiety for as long as I can remember. Was on Klonopin 1.0 to 1.5 mg twice a day (about 15 years) along with propranolol 20 mg twice a day. I decided at the beginning of this year that I was going to try to wean myself off Klonopin as getting a script every month for Klonopin is a pain. I started Remeron 5 months ago at 15mg than 22.5mg and in no time my anxiety level went down. I was also on Vyvanse to counter depression from long term Klonopin which I replaced with Wellbutrin. With Remeron/Wellbutrin combination I am down to 0.5mg twice a day Klonopin which I never dreamed was possible. I plan on going on Lyrica or Neurontin to help wean off Klonopin for good."


"I started using it in April, at the beginning of April I weighed 200lbs. At the end of April I weighed 182. I didn't take it for the next month and still weigh 182. I am starting to take it again, so hopefully I can keep losing weight.

When I started to take it I felt a little addicted. Couldn't go to sleep and got moody, that all went away after the first week of taking it. And now I love it.
I exercise every so often, but try to do activities more than exercise. If you do activities that keep you up and moving, you can lose the weight.

As far as food goes at first I couldn't eat much and didn't want anything greasy, it made me want healthy food. I try to eat very little amounts of food that is fruit or something with a lot of protein."


"I went on Yasmin when I was 16, I hated it, the worst thing that I could of done. I was extremely depressed/ irritated/ bloated/ gained 10 lbs/ sleepy/ no sex drive , I would do rather of had a baby and 9 months of normal than go through that kind of depression. we used condoms ever since
Stopping and now we are healthy happy and married with 2 kids, to this day still on no hormonal BC."


"No weight Gain. Actually lost weigh because this pill made my appetite smaller and I get full faster. No acne just broke out little bumps along jaw line but no one can notice except me.  I crazy mood swings or depression like I got on other birth control pills. Regular period, no pain. First day light cramps that's it. No spotting. Happy with this pill. Almost on my third pack."


"I just started Victoza yesterday. I have only felt sleepy about mid afternoon. Not sure if that is a part of side affect or not. I can tell you I woke up this morning and have not be hungry in the least. However; knowing I need to have something I forced myself to have a salad for lunch. I became very sleepy after eating. I am drinking a lot of water. I hope to see a significant reduction in weight especially since I'm up to close to 300 lbs although, it doesn't really show that I would be that heavy. I am very hopeful, and I also am watching my carbs. The reviews of some I have read have encouraged me. Looking for a new me with in the next couple of weeks and months.

I have only given a rating of 1 since I have just started."


"I've only been on Alesse for 3 weeks and since this is my first time on a birth control pill, I can't really say all that much except for the fact that i've been spotting for 5 days, I should be getting my period in about a week and I get cranky extremely easily  now (well more than normal) but other than that, it's been a decent experience so far I guess."


"I started taking Loestrin for pregnancy prevention two years ago with virtually no side effects. This birth control has the lowest dose of hormones which controls nausea (a huge problem with previous birth controls), my skin looks great, no weight gain, cramping or bloating, PMS and hormones are regulated and my period disappeared after about 6 months. My breasts did get bigger - not a full cup size, but maybe a half - and I have found that sentimental things make me cry easier than before I was on the pill. Most importantly though, this birth control PREVENTS PREGNANCY. I take it everyday at the same time +/- 30 minutes and have never had a scare in two years!"


"I started taking Zurampic (lesinurad) in a drug study a little over 2 years ago. I have had amazing results. It has given my life back where it comes to enjoying what I eat or drink. It may not be for everyone but it works for me. I am so happy it is available now. From all the side effects, headaches were about it for me."


"I had suffered Degenerative Disc Disease with two bulging discs at L4 and L5 with Annular Tear and Spinal Stenosis since May 2006. No injury or accident. Right side leg went completely numb on me and sent me to the ER; Within a week I had an awesome Dr helping me with this med, Flexeril and Naprosyn. As well as Physical Therapy and Chiropractic Care. I became pain free in November 2006. Then I got pregnant and in December 2010 the pain was so severe that I had to go on Norco & do Physical Therapy again for two months. Needless I went into Pain Mgmnt with an Awesome Dr and of course tried and failed Morphine, Fentanyl, Oxycontin with OxyIR, Neurontin, and this was always reverted back to Norco. Had Spinal Fusion and Norco was what worked."


"This is by far the best pill. I was taken off it before but just recently got back onto it. My periods on this pill were non-existent. Also no cramps. Having 4 periods a year is fine by me. I recommend this one to anyone. It is the best!!"


"I am 29, and have been on anti-convulsants since 13. Tegretol made me dizzy, sleepy, and black out in random places so my doctor changed me to Carbatrol. It is crazy expensive without insurance. It works well, but Not 100%. Over the years I've noticed its effectiveness wanes. Increasing the dosage causes dizziness and doesn't seem to solve the problem. However I have been tried on 3 other seizure medicines and they did not help at ALL, so I feel I have no choice but to stick with the rough journey on Carbatrol. Its crazy how epileptics have to FIGHT to prove their disability."


"I have been HIV Positve for about 32 years.  The last cocktail  I was taking for about 8 years was Epzicom and Combivir . A year ago I changed my regimen to Triumeq . Initially, the side effects I experienced were sleeplessness, nausea and stomach gas, these symptoms lasted for about 3 months. Due to the sleeplessness, started taking the medication in the mornings  instead of the evenings. The first positive thing I noticed was that my skin became more hydrated and I had less skin eruptions. After one year on the medication I feel very normal , I continue to workout 3 times a week and my energy level is high. My Viral Load remains undetectable and my CD4 went from 800 to 1,150 . I am very happy that I made the switch to Triumeq ."


"I have suffered from Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder ever since I had my period. I would cry for no reason, lose focus at work, get anxiety attacks. It affected my daily life with mood swings, I would be this way for around 14 days before starting my actual period. The doctor prescribed me fluoxetine 10 mg to take 14 days before my period. I had taken Prozac in the past for what I thought was depression which was really bad PMS PMDD. So I took the Prozac for 14 days before my period and I was feeling much better. Prozac truly does help."


"I am 23 years old and I have been on this bc pill for about 4 months. I truly hate it! I have had my period twice every month. During the white pills and not the brown ones.  I'll have horrible cramps before my period and while on it. Before I was on this bc pill, my breast would get tender and after my period was over my breast would go back to normal, but not on this pill. My breast are constantly in pain and it is horrible pain. I rarely ever got acne, now I have acne all the time.  I'll also get horrible lower back pain. I recently visited my OBGYN and she has agreed that this pill has been a nightmare. I do NOT recommend this pill!!"


"I was prescribed Voltaren Gel for the arthritis in my hands and bursitis in my elbows.  I also have severe pain down the IT band area in both legs and my hips and low back give me problems (DDD in low back).  Since using Voltaren Gel I can make it through the day without the aching and usually debilitating pain that I get when I don't use it.  Fortunately I only need to use it once a day in the morning and that gets me through until the next day.  This medicine works.  It smells bad at first when you put it on but I can deal with that."


"Hi everyone. As long as I can remember I suffered from some sort of anxieties. When I was about 16 my anxiety grew into full blown panic attacks. Since then it just got worse. Finally I went to psychiatrist who put me on Cymbalta. I never felt better than I do now. My anxiety and depression gone and I feel that I have to learn how to live without it."


"Awful.  The only thing worse was the concoction I used for my previous colonoscopy, which required twice the amount of fluid.

I don't understand how the pharmaceutical industry can't come up with something more palatable."


"3d day on flagyl and cipro after 6 days of diarrhea , found out I have colitus . Bowel infection due to a parasiite. Diarrhea finally stopped but the stomach sounds I have are hugely intense!!! And the horrible taste in my mouth is aweful. But hey! It's doing its job! Better than having the big D for 6 days in a row!"


"Can't tell you how much better I feel!
On Rebif for 4 years always sluggish and not much confidence in my ability to get around, I didn't realise that it must have been making me feel worse.
Now on fingolimod for a month and ability to handle the heat has more than doubled,I sleep better and it's like a fog has cleared from my outlook.
Still carrying on running a small company and looking to the future with a much more heathy attitude."


"I have been on lithium carbonate 450 ER for bipolar disorder for 12 years. I find that the ER version is more tolerable than the immediate release form."


"Used it first time today. 1 hour and absolutely normal sex. Quite satisfied

Side effects nothing serious so far."


"After failed back fusion surgery L4 L5 S1 nothing would touch the pain until Opana ER. I was taking 20 mg three times daily and have cut back to 5 mg 3 times daily with significant pain increase because I thought I was losing my mind. I seem to have built up a tolerance and either need to increase again dramatically or find something else.  Have heard that you can easily build tolerance to Opana.  I am your proof. "


"In all honesty the first time I had tramadol for pain it did nothing for me. It was after my hip surgery. It didnt work for my surgical pain 4 years ago. But the last surgery I had *gallbladder* removal it worked amazingly well.  I'm not sure why it just did. I requested to be put on it bc the hydro codeine stopped working. I didn't want something stronger I wanted something different. And this last time I fell down my stairs. My hips get stiff sometimes and stop working properly. When this happens I fall down alot. I manged to bruise my lower back to my hip. Doctor gave me tramadol for the acute pain from the bruises on the hip. And it's been wonderful I can move no pain from stiffness I can move in ways I haven't been able to in years"


"I experienced no relief of allergy symptoms with this medication."


"Was on day 5 of a left sided migraine, after been given tramadol which only made me faint every time I stood up was taken to emergency room. Given Toradol through injection only slightly touched the excruciating pain in my head. Was given morphine which proved more successful. However the next day I am back to a full blown headache with pins and needles down face. Zilch results ehh.."


"Better than over the counter meds. I take 25 mg. Still wake up through the night a few times but generally go back to sleep in 10-15 minutes."


"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."


"This medicine helps my back pain a lot. Now I can actually play outside with my daughter with no back pain."


"I started this medication a little over a month ago. I seemed to have a lot more energy at first and as of today I've lost 10 lbs. A few days ago however, I began experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath. I went to my PCP who then sent me to the ER. I completed multiple tests and stayed overnight in the hospital for evaluation. Everything came back without any definitive answers as to the symptoms I've been experiencing. Several doctors mentioned that they believe the Phentermine to be the cause and recommended that I stop using it. It is now day 4 without taking any and I'm still feeling the same symptoms. Only time will tell... if I feel better after a week then I suppose they were correct."


"I have been taking Contrave for about a year and a half now. Within the first 3-4 months I lost a total of 32lbs. I have never had any side effects while on it. The reason it does not get a perfect rating is because last October a new company purchased and started producing it. Since then they have been price gauging and ripping people off. The previous company charged $60/bottle; the new company charges $90. Good luck finding an insurance company that covers it; 99% don't. My doctor and I are looking for other options now. Not very many people can afford paying over a $1000/yr for medicine. Unless they lower the price I don't foresee them lasting much longer, which is sad because it really is a great medication."


"I've been using this for about a week but so far my skin seems to be peeling off and burning. However, it is calming down my acne and hopefully these side effects will go the more I use it. I am entitled to it free because I live in the UK."


"I definitely would not recommend this for anyone. I got mine put in 2 months ago and it was fine in the beginning until I started my period. Ever since then I have been bleeding/spotting randomly. It's awkward during sex and ruins my clothes. Also, the depression side effect is real. I've been more down about almost everything since I got it. I plan on getting it removed as soon as possible. Like I said, I would NOT recommend this for anyone!!"


"I have been on Lexapro 10mg about a week and a half.  I was on Pristiq and Lexapro last week to transition off Pristiq & had a good week.  Now I'm just on the 10mg Lexapro and feel nauseous, have no appetite, increased anxiety, and very depressed.  I am hoping this works for me better than the Pristiq but I'm worried I made a mistake.  Will these feelings pass?"


"Although my insurance does not consider this a "preferred" medication and therefore, I need to take on more of the cost, it is well worth the money. You cannot put a price on feeling healthy and being able to breath on a daily basis. This medication is a God send. If you are not satisfied with your breathing, I would definitely recommend you speak with your doctor about this inhaler. The bonus is you only have to remember to take it two times a day, morning and evening."


"I recently started Seroquel 50 MG for depression, panic disorder, anxiety, insomnia. The first couple of days and then up to 150 MG. This medication works great. It creates anxiolytic effects similar to clonazapam and relieves all my anxiety. I Sleep well to. I can actually function thanks to this medication and it works excellently for paranoia and anxiety. I've also found it to work great for sleep. I was previously on Abilify which was very activating and gave me a lot of anxiety and I couldn't sleep more than 1-2 hours. On Seroquel I sleep a full 8 hours and I wake up refreshed and ready for the day. It controls my anxiety and works wonders. Side effects are: No sex drive, and Drowsiness. Great medicine, works great."


"It simply worked.  I couldn't sleep, had serious GI problems and developed depression over a period of months.  Less pro helped pick me up at low dose in a few months.  Was off in a year and probably could have been sooner."


"I've been through sleep studies, medications and all. This particular prescription did NOT allow me to sleep on 50mgs 2x a day and 500mgs at night. The only thing it did do was wipe my memory of previous day."


"I was recently taken off of lithium for bipolar because of my thyroid problems. I am very happy with Latuda. It works quickly and makes me feel normal for the most part. I have only had a little irritability, but it quickly subsided.  The main problem I have had with Latuda is drowsiness. I take it at night, but am still having a difficult time waking up. I'm going to try taking it earlier, like right after dinner, and see if that helps me wake up earlier. I have to wake up by 6:00 a.m. once school starts again since I am a teacher.  I have been waking up around 10:00 a.m., and don't think that will work. I recommend trying Latuda!"


"I'm 25 and a little over 1 year ago I had my first seizure, grand mal. I had no warnings or auras and I fell and hit my head; leading to me being in a coma for 3 days. I started on Dilantan 100mg twice a day. I started having loss of coordination, slurred speech so I was switched over to Lamotrigine and was taking 25mg twice a day. That seemed to work nicely for about 4 months when I got up to 150mg twice a day. One morning I woke up with this giant nasty rash on the side of my neck and down the right side of my side and stomach. It was an allergic reaction. I'm now on vimpat 150mg twice a day. Only side effects I have with the Vimpat is I have serious issues trying to sleep, unexplained noise in my ears. However, I'm still having seizures!"


"I just got my first shot 10 days ago. Was bleeding 2 weeks before the shot and it has not stopped yet- pain has gotten a little more intense, and has interfered with my sleep. Skin is also more dry than usual. My fingers are crossed that this will work- have had very painful cylces since I was a kid, and I'm ready to not have call in sick to work and miss social activites due to pain. No hot flashes, mood swings, or any other side effects- maybe due to the progestin I'm on. Will probably post in another couple weeks."


"This patch has made a SIGNIFICANT difference in my stamina. Even though I do still experience pain, it takes longer to get to intolerable, but mostly, my recovery from a taxing day is significant less. I take FAR fewer pills and was even able to stop taking Ambien. I would recommend this to ANYONE who is truly looking for a better way to take care of their pain without all the opiates. Give it time, allow it to work and if you're taking a bunch of narcotics, it may take a little time for your body to adjust to the patch and its delivery of medication. Your body's tolerance is likely very high. But, if you can make through an adjustment period, there's a good chance this can work for you, too! "


"I was given Lexapro from my GP for anxiety which I had tried to manage naturally the past two years with various techniques to no avail. My panic symptoms were with me everyday and often suffered panic attack episodes.
Made it extremely difficult to do
everyday type stuff let alone work. I
 was always drug resistant..the kind
of person who wouldn't even want to
take a headache med so the thought
 of a drug therapy I would do everyday was
scary. Anyhow, its early on less
than two weeks and I haven't even
experience any real side effects
apart from a little tiredness first
week. I feel less anxious already, no
attacks and my thoughts aren't
looping in my head anymore. I'm
hoping it continues to get better!"


"I suffered for almost 6 years with all ten toes badly infected. The sight was awful!!! I had to wear closed in shoes ALL the time. I took 3 months of treatment and seen a SIGNIFICANT change!! After 3 months of being off the treatment, I asked my doctor for another round because it is an extremely STUBBORN fungus!! Thankfully after that round, I now have normal, beautiful ten toes!! I had my 1st pedicure in years and I went sandal crazy shopping!! I don't know of any side effects and if there where any, it was nothing I noticed. I was afraid of the risks, but EVERYTHING is a risk!! This was a risk worth taking!!"


"Tylenol 3 did not work for me. I was suffering from unbearable pain from a tooth infection that kept me up all night. after 30mins the pain did not go away. After 1 hour still no relief. I wouldn't recommend this medicine to anyone."


"Very usefull for stress and muscle pain. But in the beginning a lot of side effects, due to the fact that I took 100 mg a day.  (I only weight 45 kg).

Now I"m taking 1/2 every day, sometimes every two days. I feel very good, and my husband is very happy, it saved my relation."


"Using for 4 years.. No side effects at all"


"Don't like it at all. the first time i took 1, 2mg pill, it made me sleep great. but after that, nothing. like taking a sugar  pill.it also leaves this nasty copper taste on your mouth for a day or days. everything you drink and eat is bad. yuck. back to my ambien"


"I had been drinking the equivalent of a bottle of gin a day for the last 4 weeks. I'm an alcoholic who had managed to quit 4 years ago but had a serious relapse.

I tried tapering down the booze, but I felt like I was losing my mind with the stuff. I wanted to go cold turkey but the withdrawals were utterly horrific - I've never felt so dreadful, the depression was indescribable, I was worried I was actually going clinically insane.

I got an appointment with my doctor and he gave me a Librium prescription. On the first morning of taking the pills, I could have cried with relief at how much better the Librium made me feel - I almost felt 'normal' even though I was starting the cold turkey/withdrawal process. No shakes, no anxiety, no dread."


"I am a 23 year old female. My entire life I have tested highly, been in advanced classes, had a full scholarship through college, but my grades were always a struggle. I felt like I had to work so much harder than everyone else just to keep my B grades. I was disorganized, forgetful, irritable, and pretty desolate. I felt like I was drowning.
I have taken medication for depression and anxiety since I was in high school - everything from Wellbutrin, to Xanax, to Prozac. I graduated from college in four years with a mediocre GPA, but with many awards. Finally my new doctor actually listened when I spoke, and she agreed that we try a course of medication for ADHD. I am on my second week of Vyvanse and am a new, happy, functioning person."


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


"I started to notice thinning in the front of my hair in my late 30's. Recently it was more than I wanted. So I went to a major pharmacy and retail chain and purchased the generic Rogain extra strength. For the first month there was no change. But I heard that it really doesn't start working until the second month of applying it to your scalp.

Next week is officially month two. I applied Rogaine twice a day, once in the morning, and once before I went to bed.

This last week I noticed more hair growth. It works. Granted it wasn't like I suddenly had the hair of a 15 year old boy. Where my hair was thinning it has grown in and the folicles appear thicker.  I gave it a 7 out of ten, because the growth is not a huge amount, but there is some"


"Itching has gone down after the 3rd dose but have a burning sensation when I put the medication in. I also started having a headache and nausea - but could be from the oral antibiotics I was put on."


"I had Nexplanon inserted on 2 Sept 2013 and its the first method of birth control I've tried. I'd read where it is the most reliable, so went for that option. No pain during insertion or afterwards. Only had a period the first month and nothing since then which feels a little odd but is also bliss! Completely forget it's even in my arm most of the time, however my moods are horrendous, I cry far more than I ever used to, I snap at people and I never used to, I feel very anxious or conscious and often feel exhausted. I don't know if these are side effects of Nexplanon as I'm in my final year at uni so it could be stress etc., but I'd imagine it is the increased hormones. All in all I'd say I've had a good experience most of the time."


"Have had good results so far. Am week out from third injection on left knee. Plan to start series on right knee next week. Injections were painless except for last one. Definitely ice knees after injections and don't over do activity for a couple days. Think that's why third was more painful. I am 64 with severe osteoarthritis and moderate rheumatoid arthritis. Know replacements are inevitable, but want to enjoy as much as possible until then. Good luck everyone!"


"I've only being taking these about a week and a half for my OCD, my doctor started me on the 100mg sure they worked with my OCD but I am not getting more than 3 hrs sleep a night, I dropped down to the 50mg and my sleep is worse, feels like I've had 5 rounds of speed..."


"My doctor started me out on the 37.5 and now I am on 75 mg.I love my venlafaxine and I love my doctor. For the first time I feel hopeful I don't feel stuck in my head all the time. Most of all don't sit around with my body all tensed up jaws clenched.I used to stay sore from tensing up. Not waking up scared and wired anymore I am getting my life back if I stay on this for life I am good with that."


"My doctor put me on Benicar HCT about 7 years ago. I was the type of person who hated to take medication so I didn't take it consistently. I think that is why I finally realized every time I would take a pill I would wake up during the night with severe leg cramps. I told my doctor about it and he changed my prescription to plain Benicar. After that I take it regularly and have no side effects or problems at all and it keeps my blood pressure level at 110/70."


"Been on mononessa for 3 months now. Starting on the first month, on day 3 of taking the pill I started having INTENSE migraines & also vomiting a lot every single day for about 2 weeks. I had another gf on this pill for 6 years & she told me after awhile you get used to it so I figured I'd give it a try. Month 2 of the pack came & again from day 3 for about 2 weeks I was so weak I couldn't leave my bed, my migraines got worse making my vision blurry and intense vomiting. Started month 3 yesterday & already throwing up so I'm stopping them now. Only positive I can say is that I had no spotting in between periods, my periods were the exact same light and fast, no weight gain. Girls be careful trying this one out."


"I am using this medicine for Peripheral Neuropathy (caused by Velcade) and it was marvelous for me. It stopped the feelings of stabbing pins and needles straight away in my hands and feet. I am taking 100mg 3 times a day and have only been taking it for a week."


"I've been taking this pill for two months now and I spotted on an off for the first few weeks. Wasn't anything bad just a little bit of an annoyance. I recently had sex without a condom and I'm waiting to see results. He did not ejaculate in me, so I don't see a high risk in pregnancy. But I think it's worked! I have no pain, no mood issues, my body weight has stayed relitivly average, and my acne is clearing up nicely! It's wonderful!"


"I took two doses of Saxenda. The first day was great! By the 2nd day I was so sick I couldn't move. I threw up for 20 straight hours. I thought I was dying. I was really hoping this would work for me but after that experience I am very apprehensive to take it again. I did lose 5lbs vomiting. :("


"I wish doctors would prescribe for  lower dosages of opiate withdrawal instead of the also highly addictive methadone & suboxone. IT WORKS.  While quitting "cold turkey"  from morphine, I discovered that tramadol takes away about 80% of withdrawal symptoms. I took tramadol  and lopermide for 1 week, then completely quit the tramadol. It was a life saver."


"So far, my experience has been so so. Let me explain myself. I am 17 years old (almost 18, don't worry), my starting weight was 219, and I have PCOS, Hashimoto's, and I think I even have something else, I just can't think of it at the time. I have literally tried EVERYTHING to lose weight. Everything. But nothing would help. This year I have at least stayed within the same 10 pounds which I have heard is normal. My doctor put me on the two week low dosage of this medicine and it didn't do anything for me. No side effects, nothing. The first week on the highest dosage I didn't have anything either. Now I am ending my second week on the highest dosage and I am losing about .5-.8 pound a day! Hopefully these results continue :)"


"It worked on an established migraine (six hours into a severe cluster headache) but took about three hours for the full effect to kick in. The fast dissolve pill was really nice."


"Diagnosed May 2015 - left side typical TGN. Didnt want to take Tegretol because of the side effects so tried Gabapentin with minimal effect even on 2700mg pd. After 7 months of daily agony I finally changed to Trileptal. Took two weeks to kick in properly but have  been pain free for the last 6 weeks. Have come off the Gabapentin (hideous) and am now working up the courage to come off the trileptal to see if its gone into remission. The MRI I had has identified the offending blood vessels but I really want to avoid surgery if I can. Medication is expensive but I have had very few side effects - I'll take that over pain any day of the week!"


"I've been on Paxil for about 30 days.  The change in my mood has been positive and very gradual.  Currently I take Latuda with Paxil at night.  I'm not buzzing with joy but my outlook is positive and so I think the Paxil is doing it's job.... I'm just not sure."


"I'm 19 years old, play college football, and this medication really gave me my life back after battling with severe groin pain (I'm a male) from a sports injury. There were times where my pain level exceeded a level 10, and Percocet brought it down to a 3-4, a level where I can function. My doctor said it's best to take this medication BEFORE your pain gets severe. It's called "catching up with your pain", and really makes a difference."


"I don't understand.. this pill is terrible.  I recently got married and have been taking this pill for about two weeks, and I'm quitting immediately.  Tender breasts (which is not a big complaint), and also depression-like symptoms.  I've read some people saying they were prescribed anti-depressants while taking this pill, which is absolutely ridiculous and no one should have to do that.  Also, I feel tired all the time and my sex drive is completely gone.  It's been causing some real strain because my husband was under the impression that I'm all of a sudden not attracted to him anymore.  It's also made me nauseous most days.  I don't know what is in this crap, but I'm staying away."


"Have been taking this now for 2 years for anxiety and depression. I had minimal side effects when starting the medicine (needed minimal time to adjust as compared to other SSRIs) but can note I now perspire a lot more and my cholesterol and blood pressure have increased. This medicine has worked relatively well for me and has made me better balanced. I still get some anxiety and depression but it's not as debilitating. It will be disappointing if my cholesterol and blood pressure remain high as I will have to seek alternatives. I have had some weight loss on this medicine and am not hungry all the time like I was on Avanza and Luvox. Fingers crossed some weight loss will fix the high blood pressure."


"I got Skyla about a year ago and I love it. The insertion was slightly painful but only lasted a few minutes. I was dizzy the hours after and did have some cramps but it only lasted about a day. I hardly get my period; light spotting. Although when I do get my period, I get cramps, which I never used to get when I was on the pill. Im not pregnant so that's a bonus. Overall my only complaint is the cramps I now get. I would recommend this to everyone!"


"I got the implant put in May of last year, so it has been almost an entire year now. Overall, it is extremely effective; I am very sexually active within my relationship and have never once had a scare. My last period was in October, and I have not experienced one since that point, which is awesome. I do very rarely get some light spotting, but I haven't bought pads or tampons in months.
Now, on to some of the downsides: I definitely did notice that I have gained weight that has been hard to work off (I run 3 miles a day during the week), and I do occasionally get mild breakouts. However, I do also eat a moderate amount of junk food/sugary things, so I can't fully attribute that to the implant.
Overall, very happy so far!"


"I was put on Clindamycin for cellulitis, but the doctor missed the concurrent jawbone infection, so I was taken off of it too early (16 days).  It was doing a marvelous job on my jaw pain.  11 days of being off it allowed the bone infection to come back and spread painfully.  Finally, a dentist diagnosed the jaw infection that moved over from the sore throat and cellulitis (teeth fine), and my PCP put me back on Clindamycin.  After several days, the improvement has been steady.  I hope they treat me long enough to help fully clear up the bone infection this time.  Great stuff.

Absolutely drink lots of water with it.  Helps a lot.  Food too.  Prayer too."


"Within a week, I got 3 cystic pimples !"


"I hate this so much. Although I had no pms symptoms, light spotting instead of a period, and never got pregnant once.  This is still the WORST birth control I've ever been on. I used to have long, soft, smooth hair and because of this shit my hair is a grease pit. Even if i just got out of the shower it looks like I haven't showered in years. It's absolutely disgusting!!! I've been off of this for 7 almost 8 months and my hair is still profusely greasy, I can't stand it. I'll never go back to this  birth control."


"Vraylar saved my life. I was diagnosed bipolar in my early 20's. I went through a 5 year stint of hard drugs nearly killing myself. After getting sober in 2010, I  took Depacot (made me gain a ton of weight) Lithium ( gave me intense tremors and I was always thirsty). So, I decided to go off meds. Relapsed on alcohol. Found myself in the hospital within a month for trying to commit suicide. I went to a partial hospitalization program where the psych Dr prescribed me Vraylar. I swear within 3 days, I was a new person. I had tons of energy, I was happy, and it's only been a week I am still only on the 1.5 dose. I am so thankful for this drug. I am usually extremely sensitive to psych meds and have experience no side affects."


"This medicine did not work as well for me as Lunesta or Ambien, but I like that it is not addicting. It is definitely better than nothing. I did feel mildly hungover the next day.

"


"I have OCD, anxiety, and ADHD. I also pick my cuticles everyday. The official name is Dermatillomania and it's closely related to pulling hair out. I've been picking my cuticles for 25 years. There has never been a time when I did not pick them to some degree. I try to hide them and I frequently make them bleed. I take 450 mg of Wellbutrin XL and 25 mg of Paxil (by cutting the pills) daily.

I started the Paxil almost a month ago for anxiety. While it has helped a lot with anxiety, it's even more incredible to me that my cuticles are now almost perfect with just one tiny blemish and my nails are long. This is the ONLY time they've looked like this since I started when I was 9 years old. Very, very pleased! No more hiding my fingers!"


"I took 1/2 of 150 mg Oleptro for 4 days and had the worst experience of my life. After the first dose, I slept for 19 hours and still woke feeling heavily medicated. After two cups of coffee and a meal, was able to stay awake for five hours but was not totally coherent. Took another 1/2 pill at bedtime and slept without waking until 10:00 the next morning. During all of this "rest" I had the strangest dreams. Not nightmares, but they left me feeling bad and confused. I was able to stay awake and plant flowers, but still felt drugged. I also had an overwhelming feeling of sadness that brought me to tears. Monday morning, I woke up vomiting with severe stomach pains. My vision became more blurred with each day. I have been out of work for a week. "


"I switched from Pristiq (which I had been on for over a year) to Viibryd after my blood pressure went up.  I had some of the stomach issues at the beginning but nothing too bad.  I began with 10 mg, then 20, then to 30 mg very slowly as I had read about the side effects. In all I was on this medicine for about 8 weeks. Over this time my whole body basically bloated up.  I looked like I was pregnant!  I gained about 10 pounds and craved carbohydrates.  I was also having nightmares. Mind wise I believe I should have been at a higher dose but in the end I opted to change medication due to the stomach bloating. I have been on Celexa and Pristiq but the stomach component of Viibryd seems to affect me badly."


"Cleared infection but gave me a nasty itchy rash over my entire body."


"Back went out 3 weeks ago. Pain killers and anti inflame muscle relaxers did nothing. Went back to DR after 2 weeks, put me on methylprednisolone. First day I took 6 pills, back felt waaayyyy better by the end of the day. I feel 80%, and its day 2!"


"It takes 5 of these tablets to do the same job as one small little powerful dulcolax tabs...but with far less pain."


"I have been on Plaquenil, methotrexate and several other medicines since I was diagnosed with RA 10 years ago. Nothing seemed to work, had trouble just brushing teeth, brushing hair and the smallest task. Then 3 months ago they put me on Enbrel and boy what a big difference it made. Now I have my life back."


"Took two pills around 11:30pm had cramps and nausea all night. Woke up at 7:30 and decided to try to go to the bathroom. In the 10 steps it took to get to the bathroom I already felt faint, nauseous and had cold sweats. Passed out on the toilet so I crawled back to bed for a few minutes before feeling the worst cramps of my life. Crawled back to bathroom and did produce a bm but while I was washing my hands went completely unconscious, fell and split my chin on my bathtub, not bad enough to get stitches but still. I was so weak I couldn't even type my phone password in to call for help. Finally my roommate found me but come on... this pill should not be on the market. Unbelievable the FDA approves this for otc."


"Went ER on Saturday got Reglan, Benadryl and Toprol, along with a bag of saline. Yummy combination, knocked out my migraine and me. Slept for an hour in hospital then another 4 at home. I'm still wiped out but after a doozy of a migraine I am exhausted for at least 5 days post. Almost like a hangover."


"This is my first time taking birth control due to me always bleeding (being on my period). Whenever I bleed, it's never heavy but the thought of always bleeding became extremely annoying. I was given the option to take birth control. I decided to go ahead and try it out. I started 4 days ago and have no complaints. No sign of depression, irritability, no change in sex drive, etc. I am happy to say that the bleeding has stopped! I am never been so happier, you just don't understand. So far no complaints, the future is yet to come. I'll keep you all posted."


"I started taking this pill when I was 17. Before starting it I researched it only to read really exhausting reviews. However, I still took the pill. It brought on no side effects (didn't get my period first month). I felt good on it no weight gain or acne! Very pleasuring period (who would've thought)! After a year of taking them my insurance decided not to cover them so I had to switch. Four months later I am 13lbs heavier and my face is full if acne. I am going to stop this birth control and I am willing to pay for Loestrin out of pocket for my own health."


"I use to eat spicy foods and very rich foods that cause my gout to act up. I couldn't even walk up the stairs. I woke up one morning and called my doctor. She recommended Indomethacin to me and in less than a week the pain was gone and I could move my knee with no pain. It really works. "


"I've always done cold turkey withdrawal and this is the first time I could function. It made me feel numb and zombie like but I'd rather have that than the cold turkey withdrawal. I'm a 39 year old female who's been drinking since 15. I'm a horrible binge drinker that can go weeks with only vodka or other kinds of booze, I wake up in the morning and drink until I pass out, soon as I wake up I do it all over again. The only way I stop is my husband takes my wallet, keys, and any access to $. My withdrawals kick in quick and I feel as if I'm dying. I don't sleep for 3 to 4 days, I hear stuff that's not there, I sweat profusely and than I'm freezing, horrible anxiety my heart jumps at any noise, my heart races, and I get super depressed"


"I have been on 20mg Saphris for 4 weeks, after taking 10mg for three weeks.  I wish I had the amazing results you people have had.  I would love to have the happy feelings you speak of.  After seven weeks I still have a dazed feeling and difficulty processing information.  I am waiting for my depression to lift.  I take other mood stabilizers including lithium.  I'm afraid Saphris may be yet another failed attempt for me.  The nasty taste and numb tongue are little bother for me, if it would just work."


"I started on 25mg for couple of weeks then went to 50mg. Started having more side effects such as bad headache that lasted for several days. Have kind of numb feeling, don't want to go out and socialize much. "


"Lortab is a very strong pain reliever.  It takes between 1-2 hours to fully kick in.  The problem I had with it was:

1) Felt like I was in a mental "fog" effect for days.

2) Constipation - drink a lot of water

I have had 20 pills over a period of 3 years for periodic intense leg, ankle or back pain do to work.  I have switch to Tramadol 50mg with less side effects."


"I am in week 5 with Contrave and am down 12 pounds.  My appetite is suppressed almost completely, and certain foods I routinely ate no longer appeal to me. I had problems with nausea the first two weeks, and a lot of agitation during the third week but the side effects have just about disappeared at this point.  It was worth fighting through them.  While I am still at the beginning of this journey, I am already enjoying the scale and the non-scale wins.  I have complained about my weight for years but never hung in there to do much about it so I now feel empowered and motivated to make this work for me.  Thanks to everyone who shares because I find their experiences helpful on my own journey!"


"I was achy, feverish (100.4) and had a severe headache.I felt like a truck ran me over. I went to the Dr. and was prescribed Tamiflu. I took the first dose and noticed a difference. I didnt have nausea, insomnia or diarrhea. No side effects. I was skeptical as viral infections have to run their course but I'm so happy I took it."


"I've been taking Triumeq for Three Days Now And It has Been A Wonderful Experience. I Haven't Had Any Side AffecTs From Taking This Medication. I CaN Tell Its Working Because My Joint Pain I Was Having Before I Started Taking Triumeq Is Beginning To Slack Off. I Will Post My Labs In Two Weeks"


"I was diagnosed with endometriosis after having a laproscopy.  I started the Lupron shots not long after the surgery.  While the symptoms seemed to fade, the side effects were terrible.  I had unbearable mood swings which caused many problems in the family.  The hot flashes were ridiculous.  I also ended up gaining about 20 pounds within six months.  The pain did subside and I have not had as much pain since I finished the injections 10 months ago."


"I'm 43 and have been at a stand still where my weight is concerned-I have reduced my sugar intake and all around carb intake-no longer really eat breads and I exercise about 4 days a week-wasn't really getting anywhere so I asked my doc to give me something as a jump start.  I started Belviq on 7.14 and now 14 days later I am down 9 pounds and I feel GREAT!  No side effects and I feel alert and in an Awesome  mood!  I'm picking up my first month supply and can't wait to see the result after being on it for three months.  I'm 5'11 and started out at 215 and now at 206 and my plan is to get down to my goal weight of 175!  I've never felt so great and energized and HOPEFUL!"


"7.5 mg dosage has done nothing for me.  I think I should be trying the max dose of 15mg as I had taken the max dose 4mg of Detrol LA"


"I have used this two times in total ever.This time I wasn't really 100% sure that I had a YI but thought I would give this a go 1st before seeing a DR.  And neither time did I have an issue or the pain that these other ladies are describing. Yes it is messy, I normally use it and stay laying down as much as possible, which helps. But there is definitely at least one underwear change involved. This is the 1st time I used the anti-itch cream though which I needed this time. This product is not painful it IS messy but it does work. It is very likely most of these users didn't have a yeast infection and might be why they had such a harsh response. Over 80% of ladies buying this product have misdiagnosed themselves."


"I have been on pills for 2 years now but kept forgetting to take them and figured that wasn't too safe. I got the skyla inserted today and my overall experience wasn't all that bad. I had a bad stomach cramp, during insertion, that is the type of cramp like you have to use the bathroom! Lol but then after that I had severe menstrual cramps that lasted for a few hours after the procedure. My overall pain rate of the procedure was a 5 out of 10. Now, I am perfectly fine and feel normal! Hope this works good in the long run!"
