"I have frequent bladder infections/UTIs. I have always, with the exception of a one-time prescription to Augmentin, taken Cipro. It gets rid of the infection, but I have concerns about frequent, long-term use of the drug. I have taken Cipro for THREE different illnesses, so it's very versatile, however it tends to give me a yeast infection."


"I tested positive for flu on my second day of being sick. The doctor told me I MUST eat something before taking tamiflu or I could possibly have violent vomiting. Even though I was very dehydrated and nauseous already, I managed to eat a few saltines with ice chips. The only issue I had was strange dreams. By the second day of taking tamiflu I felt 80% better. Highly recommend but difficult to get unless you test positive."


"This was the first time I received Metronidazole for a tooth infection, usually they prescribe Keflex (cephalexin) or Amoxacillin. I would say that the Metronidazole worked quicker at easing the pain and It wasn't a capsule so I had an easier time swallowing it however, I have been suffering serious nausea followed by diarhea since I began taking it. Then last night without thinking about the interaction had a few drinks and spent the night vomiting and very ill with nausea, dry heaves etc. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL WITH THIS MEDICINE and always read your labels and accompanying info, I usually do but I've never had any kind of reaction to an antibiotic so I got lazy I suppose, because it was clearly stated on the bottle."


"I had to go back on atripla. Genvoya gave me dizzy spells. I took it for one month stopped 5 days ago and I'm still having dizzy spells. I cannot find if anyone else is having the same side effects. wondering how long it will still stay in my system and keep me dizzy & and I get jittery!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Not bad at all considering all the bad things I'd heard about the prep I'm more nervous about the colonoscopy. The mud butt last about 4 hours only thing I really noticed was a loud stomach"


"I started this drug as part of a program - medical doctor, therapist, on-line support, benzo's for withdrawls and this. Currently 67 days sober and I think this drug is a miracle. I've drank everyday for over 30 years but no more.

Removes the cravings. You still have to go thru physical and mental challenges from quitting alcohol. Need to fill the void created so it is a part of the program.

I do get headaches (I never got headaches before). Spacey at times, unmotivated, but that seems like not drinking after you get past the pink bubble phase.

Life begins new for me."


"Diagnosed 1 yr ago Gen type 3 after other issues were being investigated. Now Into my second week of treatment no side effects to report , except tiredness and fatigue which I was already experiencing for many years . I was also suffering from aches and pains, liver pain, & dare I say it but I think I can already feel improvement, " touch wood".
I have also been diagnosed with liver disease , not sure if the Hep C has caused this or my social drinking. I am now obviously abstaining .
I go back for my first meds/bloods check in a few days, I will keep you guys upto date, best wishes to you all.
Thank you Gilead and the UK NHS without either I suspect I would be on my way to the Grand Lodge Above"


"Stage 2B prostate cancer. Proton beam therapy coupled with six months on Lupron. Dreaded getting the second 3-month shot. Side-effects: Almost total loss of libido and sexual function within 30 days--lasting for several months post usage; debilitating hot flashes (2X/hour, 24/7); 15 pounds of weight gain; 50% increase in cholesterol under same diet; dangerous liver impact (GGT > 130) w/o alcohol use; significant breast growth."


"Because this works for some I will not say it is a bad medication. It did bring down my blood pressure, however, for the week I took it I could not sleep more than an hour or two at a time. I have both a pulse ox meter as well as a BP meter and started keeping close watch and found that while on Lisinopril my resting pulse went very low. It was 44 at one point and rarely went above 70. My Dr was not concerned because he said that it did not stay in the low range, however, in my conclusion I believe that I was not sleeping because my pulse went too low and I was forced to wake up in order to get my resting pulse to raise enough to keep me alive. After stopping the medication my resting pulse went back up to its normal rate of around 60-75."


"It was like my first YI all over again. It was painful and irritating and so annoying... My sister told me to get the one day treatment and so I did because I didn't think I could do it for 7 days like I couldn't even sit down to come swollen my stuff got due to irritation...
I inserted the treatment and my vag felt the same burn it did as before... Just copped it down a little... I put a liner on so it would drain and I changed it on the hour this was like 9pm. The next morning it still burned and irritated me just as it did the night before... Sis said to wait it works... Right now I have very little irritation... I am infection prone... But the one day worked for me ..."


"I gave it exactly a year. I'm giving it up because 1. I'm seemingly too busy to have sex and 2. Too busy to remember to take them. I noticed my hair thinning out in the first few months, but my skin was a lot clearer. My cramps went away and my period became shorter and lighter. I'm naturally very small, but have been able to gain weight before (though slowly). Since on the pill I've been dropping pounds that I can't afford to. Mood swings were not as bad on this pill as when I was on ortho trycyclen low. I think I'm going to take a break and see how my body reacts."


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


"I have been on Femcon FE for 3 years now. I was on Yasmin previously for 6 months and experienced a 20lb weight gain, mood swings, acne, the works. I've had no MAJOR side effects with Femcon (I have noticed a slight decrease in my sex drive) but am starting to look elsewhere for the sheer reason that it costs me $50 a pack. If you can afford it and you've had problems with pills like Yasmin that most people agree with, I highly recommend Femcon."


"This medicine has been prescribed to both myself and my husband. It made both of us feel much sicker than the original conditions it was meant to treat."


"Was actually put on this medication for hiccups and found that it had good muscle relaxer properties and also helped with mild anxiety."


"I have been on Abilify (10mg) for the past 3 weeks. It has been very helpful with my psychosis/hallucinations. I have only hallucinated twice in the past 3 weeks. There have been some complications though. I have experience side effects of nausea, light-headedness, being constantly tired, and dizziness. My depression seems to be lightening up every day and that it wonderful."


"I have been on Pristiq for 10 days now.  The first two and a half days I felt sick, dizzy and fuzzy.  I have had no side effects since.  Lost 2.5 lbs the first week, which is a plus. Was on Lexapro a few years ago and gained a lot of weight.  I also suffer from panic attacks and am taking Xanax when needed.  Going through divorce, 23 year marriage."


"I experienced a continuous outbreak of very itchy, irritating hives for four months at which time I took Benadryl once daily, bathe in cool water and doused myself with calamine lotion to get relief. Just as I was anticipating seeing an allergen Doctor, I asked my best friend's daughter who is a nurse if she could recommend anything other than the Benadryl. She vehemently responded "Zyrtec".  She explained that her 20 year old daughter is an eight years hives sufferer and her only relief is Zyrtec. I begin taking one dose of Zyrtec on a Wednesday, had no breakout on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. In a weeks time I've taken a total of three Zyrtec - no hives. Thank you Zyrtec maker!!!"


"I am taking Livalo for several months due to the fact that other statins caused a lot of muscle pains. It has help my cholesterol levels a lot.  My issue is now my glucose levels are high which is not normal for me. My doctor thought I could be diabetic . My glucose levels were normal before starting on this. Also after reading the other reviews I may have other reactions from it. Lower back pain that is dull. Shoulder and neck pain and headaches. I didn't connect it. I went to the Chiropractor to try and  help that. Now. I think it's time to discuss with my doctor that it could all be from the Livalo ."


"This did not work at all"


"Caused major depression. Was on many strong medications for years before reading how Yaz could be the problem. Went off Yaz and depression disappeared. No more strong medication. No sex drive while on pill. Very dry during sex. Also had a terrible scarring breakout after coming off of it. Only gave it two stars because I did not get pregnant so it "did its jobs.""


"Celebrex has been wonderful for me--I never thought I would be able to regain mobility as well as I have.  I haven't experienced any side effects at all.  It took weeks to work, but I couldn't be more pleased with it now.  I've noticed on some of the comments here that it worked immediately for some people, but it's not always like that, so be patient and give it time--hope this helps!"


"I was prescribed Viibryd for Major Depressive Disorder. Felt a little better after 2 weeks on the 30 day sample pack, but when I got up to 40 mg after 2 pills I started experiencing drug induced psychosis (heard a man's voice whispering one morning while I was alone, which I never had before), and also felt no emotions and felt floaty like nothing mattered. Then my doctor dropped me back down to 20 mg, generally I have been great around other people, but only recently in the past few weeks have I started feeling a heaviness in my chest like I feel like crying, and a constant feeling of being fat even though I exercise and eat regularly and only weigh around 135-139pds. I'm not sure if the medication is working for me anymore."


"Awful anxiety and depression. 25 years. Can't count the "new and (therefore) better" SSRI drugs I tried.  On Parnate, I noticed a tremendous improvement in 2 to 3 weeks.  And it kept getting better!  Depression and anxiety wiped away, not embarrassed to be myself anymore, social, enjoying life!

Dietary restrictions are so miniscule as to be laughable. And no red wine? Chocolate?  Hah!  90% of the things they tell you not to eat are bogus or unproblematic nowadays.

SSRIs CAN'T RAISE SEROTONIN LEVELS anywhere near what an MAOI is capable of. And the Dopamine increase may be what has helped my energy and joy for life again. Severe and treatment resistant?  Google Ken Gillman and start living."


"This works within 30 mins. After the first pill my legs stopped burning and tingling one of the only medicines I ever found that worked so fast."


"I had this inserted in October 2013 after consulting with my doctor, who pushed it for the convenience. Insertion was quick and painless, with minor stinging. The first 2 months were AWFUL with acne, depression, crying, and mood swings, which stabilized once I recognized the cause. Months 4 to 6 were even worse because I would not stop bleeding. Numerous times I wanted it removed, but my doctor told me to give my body 6 months to adjust. Finally after almost 10 months my body is doing better. Bleeding has stopped for 6 weeks and counting although I am fighting slight weight gain of 3 to 5 pounds. Yes, you cannot beat the convenience, but you need to seriously consider the side effects because they were unbearable many times for me."


"I'm so frustrated to see EVERYONE having a positive experience with this medication, except for ME!!!  Although I am happy for those it has helped, it does nothing for me but make me queasy and ruin the taste of my wine. I've been taking it about 2 1/2 months and keep hoping that one day I will look at my bottle of wine and have no desire to pop the cork. Has anyone out there had to wait this long to reap the benefits of this drug? I'm about ready to give up unless someone tells me that it took them a while to feel the effects as well......

Still hoping"


"This birth control caused a HUGE increase in my appetite and water retention. I also developed a lot of cellulite while using the NuvaRing, which was peculiar because I never had cellulite prior to using this birth control and I remained fairly active the whole time I was on NuvaRing. "


"This helped with breathing and pain from angina but the side effects to the digestive system greatly out wayed this. I experienced severe constipation, bloating and acid reflux when taking the 350 dose. This became so severe over a 2 week period that I had to stop taking the medication."


"Anafranil has always worked superbly for my obsessive compulsive disorder and I have used this medicine intermittently for 30 years. My mistake has always been to completely stop when I feel well - it always comes back.

Although an amazing medicine, the downside is that it takes about 8 weeks for the medicine to work and before that I usually feel worse. And the side effects can be a challenge."


"Works"


"I've been using Camilla for 2-3 years now. I have not had any pregnancies. I am unable to use estrogen pills because of side effects and Camila has been a lot better in terms of that. However, after about a year of using it my periods are incredibly irregular. I'll sometimes get them every two weeks, sometimes I won't have one for 2 months, and sometimes I'll spot all month long. Compared to the estrogen pill problems I had it's okay, but if you're planning on using Camila to regulate periods- good luck."


"Took this for about 4 years and had throat swelling, feeling like something wrapped around my neck, swallowing issues and hoarseness. Blamed it on an operation to remove a cyst in my neck but the symptoms were not from that procedure according to my ENT. I  stopped using it for two years and as my COPD worsened my doc put me back on it. Bang those symptoms came right back. I am now on Tudorza and doing better without those side effects."


"My pregnancy has brought on horrible acid reflex. I spend most of my days puking acid, and being on fire. This occurs from NOT eating, AND eating. I've never experienced anything like this fire. I've tried Nexium, tums, Maalox. None helped me. I bought Zantac just two days ago, and its made a change. I still have to be very strict on timing, and what brings on even harsher acid.
HERE IS THE ZANTAC STEPS THAT WORK FOR ME.
Eat, and let the acid come on. I don't take it till my food has gone down a bit. Maybe 30 mins after. Its hard to stand the sizzle, but if I take it too soon, I don't feel it.
So I take it with a small amount of water at first.
It's pretty intense, but fast working."


"I been on Chantix for three weeks and half. I haven't had cirgette or vaporizer 22 days. And no side effects. I really truly recommend Chantix. I was a heavy social smoker."


"I have been dealing with depression/major depressive disorder for 10 years. Finally I had enough of the depressive episodes and anxiety. I'm taking Abilify 2mg (AM) and Seroquel 200mg (PM). This is the best I've felt in years. I also haven't gained weight, I did have some dizziness but that lasted about a week, and is now gone. It took about two weeks to start seeing a difference in my mood."


"By far the only things that's touched my back pain. Got 3 rods, 6 pins going from T10-T12. Been on literally every pain medicine except the pump."


"It helps control break thru seizures and the anxiety I get with mine. However; it makes you feel feel very dopey and tired."


"This medicine work great.  Had to take it twice a day for one week"


"Burning and itching with Monistat 1,3, and 7 in my experience. Best way to deal with it is calendula salve on vulva, Benadryl, and ice pack on your lady parts. Duration of the medication is horrible but it will clear up your yeast infection!"


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


"I was on this birth control for about a year and a half and at first I liked it. I had completely stopped having a period all together. It is very convenient only having a shot every three months instead of taking a pill every day. But after about 6 months I had a change in appetite and was hungry all the time and in a years time I gained 30 pounds. My acne seemed to get worse and nothing would help. I went off the drug about a month ago and have already lost 10 pounds. It would be a great choice if not for those side effects."


"After a modified radical mastectomy for stage 3 breast cancer, I took letrozole for 5 years and my tumor marker test (CA 15-3) remained low. My oncologist and I decided that without any indication of malignancy I could safely go off the letrozole. After 2 years off it my (CA 15-3) blood test shot up and I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer on my chest wall. I resumed taking letrozole and had 36 radiation treatments. I have taken letrozole for 7 months now and my most current CT scan showed the lesion was gone. I know the radiation destroyed most of the lesion but I'm sure the letrozole helped a lot with the rest. I probably will take letrozole for the rest of my life."

"This patch worked very well! Made me a little tummy queezy but, worth it!"


"I was diagnosed with heart failure back in 2002.   The doctors started me on coreg and it definitely worked.   My EF went from 39 to 56 over time.   I have been on coreg since that time to treat my blood pressure problems and my EF has been normal since.   I will always be on high blood pressure pills because even with a weight loss of 90 lbs since 2002, I still have high BP.   Coreg is one of the few meds that does not give me any side effects and works great."


"Twice now - more fool me - I have bought the original nasal spray and had the top take everything off when I opened it, rendering the product USELESS.

It's annoying you can't rely on what was once a strong brand."


"Started Entyvio in the middle of a flare up. I've had the most side effects from this one as compared to all past treatments. Frequent moderate-severe sinus headaches. Flushing, hot feeling. Took 9 months before we saw improvement but I was also on budesonide which might have been the cause of the improvement. Unfortunately it just doesn't seem worth it. I've heard better results for UC patients."


"I've had my insertion since March 2015 my period stayed on for two weeks. The next month (April) I received the end of period bleeding for 3 days. At the end of May the end of period bleeding came back for one week and right after spotting occurred and haven't stopped which means I am going into week three of bleeding. I AM NOW GETTING ANNOYED"


"It took me 15 years of horrible struggles with all types of acne. Cysts, whiteheads, blackheads - everything. My dermatologist had put me on antibiotics which never worked. I got depressed and didn't even want anyone to see my face and lost a lot of confidence. Acutane has been the only thing that clears my skin and even made me feel younger."


"Good for headaches and back aches.

I definitely recommend ibuprofen."


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


"I've been on Fetzima 3 months.  I take the 40 MG extended release.  This has been the best medication I have been on. I have increased energy. I can focus and stay on task. I do not feel hopeless and have an opinion now.  The side effects I have are dry mouth, constipation, my face and chest will turn red and feel hot to me at times, my neck will break out. I have also had some irritability and anger. I feel like this is because I walked around is a fog with no thoughts or opinions for so long that now I'm engaged in life and paying attention somethings that use to not bother me do now.  For me my effects from this medication have not changed at all.  The benefits definitely outweigh the mild side effects."


"I love Ampyra. I have been taking Ampyra for 3 months I feel much stronger I'm back going to the gym every morning for 2 hours."


"I've had Mirena in for a little over a year now. I'm 20 now. When I first got it, it was so painful and the pain did not stop there. I had severe cramps and pains for about 2 weeks after I got it put in. After the pain stopped, I loved Mirena! I haven't had a period at all in 9 months, the best thing ever. Then I noticed I gained about 15lbs, and I'm normally really skinny without having to lift a finger. Then I started to get acne all over my back! I never got acne on my back and now it's everywhere. I have had some pains in my side! They are so painful. I had to pull over my car sometimes because they would get so bad. I'm getting Mirena out."


"This medication was similar to taking just Tylenol. Did not improve my mobility at all and did not touch my pain level."


"Works almost instantly, and a while even after you used it all up"


"I am half way through my second implant! I cannot lie. I love it. First 2 months were hell but you have to let your body get used to the fact you have a hormone replacement. You cannot expect it to be quick change over. My skin has stayed the same. Weight pretty similar a little heavy but that is due to my eating!! I will say I do have a low sex drive but unfortunately I think that's just me!! I have some read some people really slating the implant but by there own admission they have only tried it for a week or so?? You can't expect it to be a dream at the beginning you are changing your body's way of working. I recommend giving it at least 6 months. I went through the long period but now I haven't had period in 4 years!! hope this help"


"I got bucked off my horse on sat and had to go to the ER I can barely move and they gave me this for pain and I haven't had one once of relief from pain all it does is make me sleepy"


"I suffered from iron deficiency and i was put on iron tablets. With these they cause constipation so my doctor also prescribed lactulose. It works really well and it give you alot of gas and a bowel movement within eight hours of taking the medicine."


"Took Abilify for 4 days.  Had nausea for those 4 days and several days after I stopped taking it.  I also have a twitch in my lower lip that is still there 7 months later."


"For almost four years my life was completely out of control, what had started out as playful became my worst nightmare. I spent several years homeless, and in and out of institutions. Eventually, I had hit my rock  bottom and became desperate enough to fully surrender, that meant quitting alcohol, and putting down needle. Vivitrol helped me stay stopped. Before getting the shot I used to have cravings all day every day. Now I am to go about my day without worrying if today is the day that I relapse. Vivitrol gave me the extra push to stay clean and go about living a normal life. Cocaine/Mali etc users don't have anything to help them staying clean. So I am truly grateful for this drug! It helped me realize that life can be wonderful without drugs"


"I am 29 years old with no children, I have not been on any type of birth control for the past 3 years. My boyfriend wanted me to get on some sort of birth control.  I choose the ParaGard for that fact that it has no hormones and it last for 10 years. I just had it put in 3 days ago. It was hands down the worse pain I have ever felt in my life.  She had to clamp my uterus with a pair of forceps to keep it from moving away from her. The procedure took about 5- 10 minutes total.  After it was finished I sat up and immediately felt dizzy and lightheaded. I had to lay down for 10 minutes.  I then drove home and played in agony for about 3 hours.  After that it was bearable pain and cramping."


"This is the best SSRI antidepressant I've ever taken.  Minimal side effects.  Started to feel noticeably better after just one week.  If you're not concerned about your sex life, I'd highly recommend it.  It does decrease sex drive.  I switched to Remeron as a result.  "


"This is effective in terms of keeping me from getting pregnant. I was a little upset my pharmacy gave me something new without telling me, but I tried it anyways. My previous bc didn't make me lose weight or gain weight. Made it constant unless I worked out it.
This new bc I've been taking for three months now made me gain back weight that took me a long time to lose. I'm pretty upset. It makes me act out and more depressed than I am on random times. I'm more upset about it making me gain weight. I also break out a little more than usual. I already have bad acne, but I noticed I get it more often now. Either than that.  No baby. No other side effects I noticed. I will be asking my pharmacy to change my bc when I am done with my last one."


"Since I moved into a new house I began having respiratory problems, occasional wheezing and breathing difficulty with exertion. Allergies came back negative and antihistamines had no effect so my dr gave me an inhaler and sinulair. I started on singulair first to avoid taking extra medications I might not need.

From the first day on Singulair the mild symptoms I had improved but I also had a mild headache most of the time.  By the 3rd day the headache became horrible, so much pain that I felt nausua and chills.  I will not be taking it again ever."


"Been taking a week, for OIC and no improvement at all."


"Osteoarthritis in both knees.  I had a cortisone injection and it worked great but only lasted about eight weeks.  It was too soon to receive another cortisone shot so Euflexxa was recommended by the PA.

I received the three shots of Euflexxa over a three week period.  This was a total waste of time and money as the shots provided no relief at all.  It is my understanding that the insurance companies are going to discontinue covering this procedure in the very near future."


"I'm 28 weeks into my pregnancy with a YI my doctor recommended this product I was fine for the first half an hour but now I'm burning beyond belief I had no itching prior to taking the prefilled cream now my vagina is on fire and when I pee it's excruciating ! NEVER AGAIN !"


"I was prescribed this generic for a raging infection contracted when I had a small surgical procedure done on my finger.  Within 24 hours of the procedure, my finger was inflamed and throbbing.  Keeflex was first prescribed and another 24 hours later was determined it had not touched the infection.  So, I was given Zyvox.  It totally eradicated the germ I had contracted.  I did have some bothersome side effects, mostly with my stomach just not feeling right.  Later in the second week, my tongue turned brown, but no other problems.  I was very tired most of the time, and could not decide if it was the med or the infection."


"I think this medication has really helped my state of mind and my ability to cope with new situations that I come across.  Some side effects, mainly the restlessness, is something I have an issue with, but its entirely manageable.  I feel like this medication has dramatically improved my quality of life."


"I started this med in September of 2015.  I have been on 30 psychotropic medications over the past twenty years to manage my MDD and anxiety.  Had 30-ish ECT treatments as well.  Also have regular CBT therapy.  Nothing was working for more than a couple of months.

However I started Trintellix and saw improvement within a month.  After a decade of a depressive episode that I never got into remission from, I was in partial remission.  No, it isn't complete remission but I've dealt with the fact that that may not be in the cards for me.

I haven't had active suicidal thoughts in a year.  Until that point, I hadn't gone without suicidal thoughts for more than a month.

This drug has been a life saver for me.  No side effects."


"I been suffering with migraines for 6 years. I was hospitalized because of nausea, dizziness, blurred vision etc. 6 years ago and my nuerologist prescribed me Imitrex (Sumatriptan) and Fioricet. The Imitrex stops the migraines as soon as I took them but the Fioricet was the pill that I was suppose to take on a daily use. But the migraines just kept on coming everyday. Not a day go by without a constant migraine. I was recently hospitalized and was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis ... my doctor in the hospital was a neurologist. I was not sleeping and started suffering from insomnia. My neurologist prescribed me Amitriptyline HCL 10MG. Yesterday was the first time I took the pill and its a miracle. No migraines today."


"First 3 weeks on the medicine and I felt worse, I started self harming and experienced suicidal thoughts (though apparently this is quite common), I got worried so went back to doctors who upped my dose to 40mg. 40mg gave me headaches, made me feel quite aggressive, lost a bit of weight due to decreased appetite and kept me up at night. Went back to the doctors and told him side effects so he dropped it back down to 20mg to ween me off it so I could try Mirtazapine. A couple of days after speaking to the doctor, I started to feel a lot more positive and happy and touch wood, a week later and I feel the same! I was meant to start taking the Mirtazapine today, but I think the Fluoxetine has slowly kicked in so Im sticking with it!"


"I've been taking Aviane for a little over a week now. So far it's alright. Though I have noticed that my boobs hurt extremely bad and I have been spotting non stop the whole time. Also I am breaking out and I normally have clear skin. But I suppose it could just be my body adjusting to it."


"I have been on Effexor XR 225 mg and Valium 5 mg for 8 years and in the last year or so started getting more depressed again.  I went on Abilify 2 mg 2 weeks ago and feel like living again.  I went out and did errands and visited and shopped for 4 days in a row which was nearly a miracle.  The doctor raised it to 5 mg yesterday and so far I feel fantastic!  I sure hope it lasts!"


"Was taking this medication for a seizure disorder. I was on it for a about 4 0r 5 months, but had to go off of it because of all the side effects. I was extremely depressed, crying at least 7 or 8 times a day. Memory loss, could not sleep, tingling in feet and hands. The only good thing about it was I lost 32 lbs in about 6 weeks. "


"I’ve been on this pill for about 2 years, it raised by blood pressure, I gained about 20 pounds and my acne got slightly worse. I don’t know why it took me so long to get off of it but I’m so happy I did."


"I have to give it 10 out of 10, as it changed my life. After years of injecting other meds and continuing to relapse, I started on Tysabri in 2009. I can honestly say that I cannot work full time without it, as the fatigue is greatly improved whilst on it. I have come off to get pregnant, and then continued back on after two babies. My last MRI showed that some of my lesions actually got smaller, and I have not had any brain atrophy whilst being on this drug. The only side effect I notice is slightly thinner hair. This is a drug that can have serious implications, and I think the choice to take it must be thought carefully, weighing all the benefits and risks. But for me, it has saved my life for 7 years."


"I have horrible acne but just starting Lo Loestrin has cleared up my skin so much! I'm on my 9th day. I noticed I cry really easy now but not the bad kind for no reason I cry for sad movies and when I gave my rabbit away because we are moving. I'm 23 and don't use it for painful periods but to help with my mood and acne. I'll have to wait and see if it helps with my mood. I did notice I don't sleep as much. I need a good 10 hours at night and nap. Hope it works for others too."


"I took Latuda yesterday for the first time. I took it around 5 pm. I couldn't sleep well during the night but that was probably just getting used to the medicine. Went for a walk for exercise felt great. Felt pleasure again. Felt joy and happiness and love."


"I was initially approved for and was given 2 treatments of Humira for A.S.  Within 1 month, I noticed a dramatic improvement in my symptoms: reduced pain and increase in physical function.  Then my insurance company, Blue Shield of CA decided not to approve this treatment, indicating that I needed to try a cheaper medication, methotrexate along with a NSAID.  I have been on numerous NSAIDs, the only one which was successful in pain control was Celebrex, which they also denied approval.  I have not gotten the safe effect from the methotrexate and naproxen, in fact, I have never felt this bad even before the Humira.  I am appealing the denial of this wonder drug so that I may resume its use."


"My wife who I dearly love recently left me (splitting up my family) at a time while my business is also failing and I'm suddenly in a position where I'm afraid I won't be able to make it financially. The depression and grief led to anxiety and eventually panic. Completely unable to function.  Minutes seemed like hours. A struggle to get through each day. Only to like awake all night. At one point got a total of 4 hours of sleep over 5 days. A total wreck about to be institutionalized. Reached crisis mode and was given Klonopin - 1.5 mg/day spread over 3 doses. Anxiety/panic diminished greatly and allowed me to finally SLEEP. Progressively improving. A true life saver. Not worried about tapering later."


"I have used Zoladex 3 month implant for 9 months, as I suffer from Pulmonary Endometriosis. Zoladex was the only medication that successfully stopped my periods, and to stop my lungs collapsing every cycle. Positives would be no mood swings, clear skin, and no periods therefore no pain. Negatives would be I gained 10 kilos, which I'm working on losing, but the weight was better than having horrific lung pain. I did have a small amount of bone pain, but this has stopped since I've been off the medication for a month. The other negative is its only subsidized in some parts of Australia. One state its $25 the other $1000 for three months. I hope this helps. In many ways Zoladex has helped me live a normal life again."


"First couple of months I had a longer then usual period. After about 2 months in it completely stopped although I had light craps and mood swings through out the first couple of months no weight gain. Perks of having the implant, not having to worry about missed pills (although I was never good at taking pill form birth control) No shot and yet still having periods ! All around the implants been good to me. Would highly recommend it to anyone with an irregular period!!!   Haha good luck ladies!"


"I've been taking this medicine for a week now. No bad side effects other than a bit of wind. If you stick to your diet, there won't be any oil or accidents. Started at 80kg and aiming to get down to 60. Hoping the hard work pays off when I have a weigh in!"


"My urologist prescribed Toviaz 8mg timed release for symptoms of OAB (frequency, constant urge, etc.). I took it everyday for 25 days. I noticed a very small difference in frequency during the night, but nothing major. In the morning, I would actually have a stronger urge than before. After about 2 weeks on it, I started to feel very dizzy. I thought it was a cold or a migraine and kept taking the medication. After about a week of extreme dizziness and feeling slightly nauseous because of it, I realized it must have been the Toviaz. I stopped taking it and the dizziness passed within 24 hours. Also my mind cleared and I realized I had major brain fog on it. No other side effects though. Just not worth it for me. Perhaps I'll try again later"


"I have never wrote a review on a product before but I had to share my experience with this one because it's soooo good. I had really bad acne on my forehead that didn't wanna go away no matter what I used and finally I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Benzaclin. I used this a week straight and my skin was so much better. After 3 weeks all my acne was gone basically! The only thing that sucks is that if I stop using it a couple of weeks later my acne gets really bad again so u have to keep using it"


"This gives the best results. I am finding that it is difficult to get the physicians to write a prescription for this medication on my follow up visit. I have been told it is too much of a CNS depressant. In years past when I have been injured, I never had this problem. "


"I had Depo Provera for 3 years which I did love and never had a period. After awhile I started to lose my sex drive. My friend recommended Implanon, so I decided to try it out. The numbing shot was the worst part and it was only a cold sensation. While inserting the device the doctor commented "Your skin is tight, you may feel pressure." I did not feel a THING!! The next day it was a little tender but not bad, did have some itching but that is normal for anything healing, had small bruise few days, very light bleeding for about a week, still have no period, and increased sex drive. There is now a small scar but it is nothing noticeable. I will definitely be getting another reinserted once this ones 3 years is up. I have had it since Oct '12."


"Works fine but shots are easier"


"So far, my experience has been a good one.  This is my first time being on any medication and my biggest fear was the possible side effects.  I have had a slight headache (once or twice), and dizzy a few times.  I will take these side effects any day over some of the ones I've seen from other patients. Overall it has been a good experience!"


"I have had migraines for over 10 years and have tried many different drugs. My doctor gave me Sumavel to try about a week ago (just in time for another migraine attack). The initial injection did hurt but the relief that I was able to get only 10 minutes later was well worth it. I did have the "burning sensation" in my face for a few minutes and felt weak for about 30 minutes but for me that is much better than the pain of a migraine. The only problem that I had was it seemed to only work for a few hours for me the first time I tried it. I'm willing to give this medicine time to work because it has by far done so much more for me than any other medicine that I have tried."


"Cardio Dr reduced original RX to 1 6.25mg tab per day.  Second day resulted in so many problems I concidered calling the paramedics. It was so bad I could not even think to call 911.  Totally stopped it and had two episodes of weird Dreams that interrupted sleep."


"Immediately after I took the first pill I was nauseated, it didn't matter if it was taken with food at all. I was feeling faint & dizzy and definitely not in the mood for anything. I tortured my body for 6 days and I couldn't bring myself to swallow another pill on day 7. I was constantly feeling crappy and a few times I did throw up...I've been off bc for over 15 years and I just continue to use condoms! Ps I only started it to regulate my period and I had just finished my period and started that Sunday, I've been off the pill for 3 days after only taking it for 6 days and I'm bleeding again ! So I had a period on august 30th and I'm now on my period again and it's September 12th ! 13 days apart !!! NEVER AGAIN"


"I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 19, and I'm now 23. I have a "severe" case as my psychologist & therapist would say in the 1 visit I met with them. I started out on Adderall and Adderall XR, but had to stop taking it due to the side effects like mood swings and Parkinson's like shaking in my hands. So my dr changed my meds to Vyvanse. I've been taking it for 1 yr and I no longer have mood swings or shake which is awesome because I don't think someone would like a shaking dental hygienist. I like Vyvanse because it still helps me concentrate, stay organized, and remember things that are told to me, but it wears off quickly. That is my only dislike about Vyvanse."


"I've been on this pill for 4 months now. It was my first ever so I was really nervous! While taking it everything was normal no side effects which was a plus! Before the pill my period was for 5-6 days and on the pill it was only 2-3 days which was great! In my 3rd and 4th month I was spotting A LOT! On top of that I was getting my period which was a pain! No weight gain and acne, my sex drive increased."


"Works well with anxiety, panic"


"I use a Medrol Dosepak when my Ankylosing Spondylitis (spinal arthritis-not rheumatoid or osteoarthritis) is in a bad flare with painful, swollen joints. The side effect I always get for a couple of days is severe hip and lower back bone pain. But once that goes away the drug works wonders! That's why many of us call it "the drug with a double edged sword" It works amazingly but can have side effects for some people. I give it a high rating because it gives me back a much higher quality of life."


"Black outs, mood change, depression."


"This medication changed my life for the better. I suffered severe anxiety and panic attacks 2 1/2 years prior to taking the medication. I feel like I am my old self now, and can fully enjoy my life, friends, family and develop to my full potential. Would definitely recommend to anyone facing similar issues. You don't have to suffer. There is definitely hope."


"Let's start off saying that medications work different for everybody. Personally it has not been bad for me like all of these other reviews. The first couple of weeks I did have mood swings, I was debating on stopping trinessa Lo, but I said maybe just my hormones need to regulate. Well they regulated. I started taking this birth control so I can stop getting hormonal break outs mid cycle. My acne wasn't horrible, I really just had oily skin and and a few cystic bumps that would leave red marks that looked ugly to me. I probably would get 7 a month? Something like that. Well the first 3 months I broke out a little more than usual. I had about 10 bumps on one cheek. On my 4th month and my skin is crystal clear!"


"I started phentermine 5/13/15 ... 37.5mg Starting weight was 167lbs. I had my first baby 8 months ago and gained a whopping 63 pounds! My doctor suggested this pill and so far I love it! I weighed myself today for the first time since I started and I lost 14 lbs in just 8 days!! I am beyond excited and have been able to notice change which gives me some hope to get back to normal! The first day I took it it was a crazy feeling and I didn't think I liked it, I was also up till about 4:30 am that morning. But now a week later the only side effect I have is slight dry mouth and I've had a couple small headaches. I love how it completely takes away my appetite which makes me not crave any junk food and I'm able to eat healthy small portions!!!"


"I started taking this pill over 1 week ago, ever since I have had horrible acne! Plus I have diabetes and my blood sugar levels have been very high since starting this pill. "


"I went to the doctor a week ago and I was told that I had upper respiratory infection (3rd one this year) so she gave me the usual antibiotic, phenergan with codeine cough medicine, and a antihistamine/decongestion medicine.  After a week of taking this still not feeling better. So I went back and she gave me a different antibiotic and the Tussionex cough medicine.  The cough medicine has allowed me to sleep most of the night but when I take it I am completely knocked out and loopy.  Still cough periodically but nothing like I was without it.  Even with insurance this medicine was $50 for 4 ounces but it's worth it!  I've taken it before and really helps. Just waiting for the other medicines to do their jobs!"


"Ladies you will read more horror stories of bc than wonderful ones only because most reviews are written out of anger. So dont get scared off!  I love mirena I had my first inserted at 20 had it removed at 24 to become pregnant, became pregnant within 3 months. Had my second mirena inserted 6 weeks pp and have had just as well of an experience.  Have a real OBGYN insert this for you! Most horror stories of an IUD had been inserted from a family physician, they are not as well informed of the product or female anatomy and its not placed properly which causes it to get lodged elsewhere in the uterus. Trust your doctor ladies and know any bc carry risks or side effects. For me the benefits outweighs the risk and I have been very happy"


"HORRIBLE!! Just horrible! I surly wish I would've read these reviews PRIOR to sticking this inside of me! The burning and itching is intense! Ice is working a little bit. I inserted at 10pm and woke up at midnight and can't go back to sleep now."


"I have really good insurance so the cost was not a problem. I've been on this pill for 4 1/2 months and for the first three months everything was fine besides the bleeding and breast tenderness, I started months 4 everything was perfect! Halfway through week 5 I experienced awful cramping, bloating, constipation, and headaches, hopefully they will go away!  As long as I can get rid of that it would be a great pill due to the fact I'm anemic and it helps to not have a period but 4 times a year!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Don't stray far from the toilet."


"I tried implanon in 2010 because I was on the pill prior and that whole ordeal made me feel disgusting with stomach upset, weight gain, painful cramps. I just got my implanon replaced for the 3rd time a week ago. (I'm going on year #7 with this). I know that the dr. I go to agrees that women either love it or hate it. Right before I got it replaced for the third time, I started getting real periods again. My face started to have bad acne all over again. In my experience, I lose weight with implanon. My boobs actually get bigger. I never experience cramps while on implanon. Usually I go at least half a year without experiencing the spotting other users have described (it's been minimal). My experience has been very positive."


"I was started out on Avastin (chemotherapy agent). Didn't improve my amd - I went to medication #2 Lucentis, injection didn't really hurt-the pain after the shot was bad. Lucentis did not help. Started on Eylea. Another chemotherapy agent. Very painful after the shot. It would last for 48 hours or more. Very bad pain. Eylea did not improve my vision either. With everything combined; the risk of poisoning my eye ball just to reduce water on the retina? I did not want to end up with some form of eye cancer from the poison.  I still do not like the idea of that poison in my eye. No wonder the pain was so bad. Now I take 40mg Luetin. Vit A, Vit C & zinc and daily green shakes. NOW my vision is improving with better diet!

NO JOKE!"


"I have only been taking Elavil for two weeks but I've been in pain for twenty years, I also have big problems sleeping and staying asleep. Since I started Elavil I have less pain plus I sleep well. I actually had a no pain day which I have not had in a long time."


"Prescribed 1 x 5mg tablet 4 times a day to help me shift a persistant cough wasn't  expecting to be pain free with my tendonopathy. Within 2 days I could walk down stairs without having to put my foot on the same step. I even felt like I could run up stairs. Back at the dr's next week here's  hoping she lets me stay on them. Not had any side effects yet.. Fingers crossed...."


"This product is AMAZING. For my whole life i thought the condition I had was rosacea and spent literally £100's of pounds on these worthless moisturisers thinking it would work Its magic.. But no. So I had enough of my bad skin and went to my GP. She actually said I had acne and prescribed me epiduo gel.. Which was £8... Oh my God i cannot believe how amazing this stuff is. So for the first few weeks my face was RED and dry and so sensitive it hurt! I literally couldn't put any products on my face and had to buy the most moisturising moisturer from Clinique which helped alot... However, the results, even after few weeks were so noticeable! I'm so HAPPY this has worked wonders for me."


"Great treatment!"


"I was on this for 8-9 months and it was fine until all of a sudden I had HEAVY breakthrough bleeding for almost two months straight (excluding the 6-7 days AFTER my period - then it would come back out of nowhere). After enduring this for two months, I went to by OBGYN and she prescribed me Tri-Estarylla, which doesn't have great reviews. I was fine on Loryna up until 8-9 months. Not sure what went wrong there. I will say I have been pretty depressed for several months, but as someone prone to depression, I didn't necessarily attribute that to the medication. I'll see if anything changes now that I've switched. Good luck."


"Helps my pain takes the edge off it enables me to move around it does not relieve all my pain but makes it tolerable. I have sciatica and some days I can't stand, sit,or even lay down due to back pain and it gives me some relief."


"Found Rapaflow impossible to tolerate:  bloating, severe congestion, very dry mouth, tongue like sandpaper, horrible sexual side effects, no desire and no ejaculate.  Stopped after a weak.  It did not improve my symptoms at all anyway."


"So it was my first time having sex and I it was unplanned and I wasnt on birth control (which was dumb on my part, and I'm starting it now) but anyways, I had sex and the condom broke but he didn't tell me till the third day. This pill is only effective for 72 hours and I took it on the 65th hour, and I was stressing because I didn't think it was going to work but believe me don't stress the pill worked. My period came today and I'm so so happy, I was stressed because I thought it wasn't going to be as effective as it may have been if I took it on the first or second day but thankfully it worked."


"I love this cream!!! I suffered extremely bad with acne and i tried everything! Nothing would work but then i got this and about 2 weeks after using it everynight i have such clear skin! Everyone has noticed i honestly can not tell you how well this worked on me as my acne was literally taking over my life best cream for acne out in my opinion"


"I have been taking 100mg of this medicine nightly before bed for nearly a year now. I had an awful case of anxiety based depression that ruined me my senior year of high school and left me in the throes of a personal break down. I went to my doctor and she submitted me to this experimental medicine screen after a previous attempt of cymbalta left me no where. When I started taking these pills, it was like a miracle had happened to me. My anxiety virtually disappeared. It was the biggest relief I had experienced in my life. I no longer had issues talking to people and I began to excel in my work once again. Only complaints are extreme withdrawal symptoms and it is much less effective for me while I am on my period."


"My pain is gone. I consider this a miracle. Before taking this medication I was in so much pain that life was almost unbearable. I was always so tired from little sleep. I sleep normally now and am pain free. I haven't experienced any side effects."


"I had previously taken Provigil 200mg daily and my prescription ran out for about 2 months.  I was given a sample package of Nuvigil 150mg daily to try for 2 weeks.  I noticed that I only slept about 7 hours in 72hrs (3days).  The Provigil did not do this to me."


"I suffer from chronic anxiety with periodic bouts of mild depression for 20 years. I tried everything...acupuncture, diet, exercise, and 5-htp. Had a horrible experience with Zoloft and Paxil when I developed depression in college. I tried antidepressants for 2 months but with horrible side effects. As a result, I avoided medications to address my anxiety and/ or mild depression through the years. Unfortunately, my anxiety level became unbearable this past year.

I tried the following: lexapro...5-10 mg absolutely horrible. Made me extremely tired, depressed and never reduced my anxiety level.

Xanax: extremely helpful but still experienced agitation, stress, irritability, and anxiousness.

Prozac: 10-20 mg. a life changer. I feel relaxed."


"I was excited when I 1st heard about Uceris' approval for ulcerative colitis. I started taking it and the 1st few days I felt pretty good with minimal bathroom trips/stomach upset, etc. After about 3 days things got worse and worse each day I took the medicine. It started as constant cramping and stomach pain, and slowly having very urgent bathroom needs. I had to stop taking Uceris because it made all my symptoms worse. So know that going in, that it can help you, but it also might make your situation worse. "


"An increase in suicidal thoughts and depression."


"This would be the third time taking this pill and I still get nervous. I don't remember how long it took me to take it the first 2 times as it was more than 2 years ago but it was definitely within 72 hours of having unprotected sex. It worked! No side effects and my period came. Now, I had unprotected sex 3/18 and 3/19 and my boyfriend released inside me more than once. My period is expected 4/4 and I am hoping it still comes. Of course, I am still freaked out although I know I should be fine. I took it right before the 72 hour mark on 3/21. I want a kid but not like this lol my fingers are crossed! It is most definitely the waiting game that sucks."


"I have suffered terribly from social anxiety for the past 4 years. I am 23 years old, and once it started negatively affecting my performance at my first job out of college, I felt it necessary to do something. Was on Zoloft for a few months prior, but it suddenly stopped working. I was put on 50mg of Pristiq and I felt it working IMMEDIATELY. Right after I took the first pill I went into a foggy state, but that hasn't happened since. The first week I couldn't sleep past 4am, and the first morning I woke up with extreme nausea and vomited. I have been on Pristiq for about 6 weeks and really feel amazing. Work through the side effects, they will disappear and hopefully it will work as well for you!"


"This is the only medication that has really helped me.  I am able to concentrate much better.  I have no problems with losing my temper.  I have no panic attacks any more.  My moods alternate within a smaller interval without intense manias or deep depression.  This has been true now for 5 years."


"I having been taking Maxaron Forte and it has been the only iron pill that I have tried that did not give me any side effects."


"Was on Concerta xl for 7 days and had to come off it due to the unbearable side effects of the drug. I  was diagnosed with ADHD (inattentive sub type) generalised anxiety and depression. This drug made me feel very nauseous, gave me a headache, made me shake, gave me twitches throughout my body, messed my brain up in terms of cognition etc, made me very aware of my heartbeat, made me extremely anxious to the point of not being able to leave my room or communicate with anyone and just generally messed me up. At one point i was doing some stretching on a yoga mat to try and calm myself down and i felt so confused that i didn't know what to do with my legs. This drug wasn't for me and caused an unpleasant experience."


"I have suffered back, knee and foot pain for years after two failed back surgeries. Finally given Butran patches and the relief was terrific. Here is the problem that led to me having to stop the treatment. The release of the medication in the patch is accelerated by heat and perspiration and I was overdosing myself by being to active. Even the sun on my shirt caused an overdose."


"Best medication ever for upper respiratory tract and pulmonary infections.  Only thing that works for me.  No side effects except dehydration, need to drink lots of fluids."


"I was very grateful to read everyone's feedback, as it helped alleviate some of my concerns.
I took my first prep at 5:00 pm after an all day liquid diet ( no prep prior to day one and a very regular food rich week with a heavy dinner day before prep)
The taste was not great, but not terrible. Tasted sweet and a bit like cough medicine. I pinched my nose and drank the mixture in about 2 minutes, followed by the 2 cups of water within the next 20 minutes.
I had absolutely no movement until 5:00am the following morning. Light rumblings, but no cramps. Was on and off the toilet till 7:30.
At 8:00 am I had my 2nd dose. Tasted much worse than the first. More salty. I got it down fast followed by 2 cups of water and apple juice. Worked immediately"


"I had cystic acne on my jaw line and cheeks from almost 2 years. Have been using many medications like benzoyl peroxide creams, salicylic acid and over the counter creams. But nothing was working out. 2 months back I went to another dermatologist and she prescribed me Aczone cream to use 2 times a day.
It really worked for me.  Within 2 weeks I can make out the difference. New acne almost stopped appearing and even the acne that is trying to come out is clearing up fast. I am so happy that my skin cleared up pretty soon. But if I stop using it for few days, acne start coming back again. Also the scars are still there. I think they are fading a little, but still not completely. I am happy my doctor prescribed me this."


"this birthcontrol was pretty good in the beginning. I felt like I had made such a good investment - no periods, no tampons, life was good! But then almost immediately I started breaking out big time in my face. And it got worse. I waited almost 3 months before I took it out, my face was covered in one million little spots, even though I am extremely healthy I never consume any sugar not even any types of dairy either. Only clean fresh food, and still my face was/is an acne mess! Besides the acne I felt depression, mood swings, massive hair loss and no desire for sex at all. All my side effects have disappeared now since I took it out 3 days ago, but I am still waiting for my pimples to go away. Would not recommed to a friend"


"Took 30 mg/day for 2 months and no noticeable reduction of pain. Increased to 60 mg/day for 2 more months and still no relief of fibromyalgia at all. Killed my libido entirely and had difficulty sleeping regardless of taking it morning or night. Luckily no side effects weaning off (half dose for 2 weeks, then every other day for 2 more weeks)."


"Been on Nexplanon for 3 years now and I can say it's the best birth control there  is out there. I dont have to worry about taking pills or using a back up at all. I'm definitely be going back to get my second one. I only get headaches and I haven't had a period but other then that it's all good."


"I have been on Valium (diazepam) for 40 years, have never had any side effects, great drug. If prescribed properly, no one should ever have any problems with this drug if prescribed properly, & if taking it for the right reasons."


"Single mom in my 30's not on the pill and wasnt really sexually active.  My cycle usually comes around the same time every month give or take a day around the 30th. Had a crazy night on the 28th and took the pill the next morning. Was dizzy and felt sick to my stomach (could have been hung over) Didnt have much of an appetite for a good week which could have been cause by stressing about my cycle. It did delay my cycle for about a week, was super bloated and cramps more than normal..I was totally freaking out because i didnt see any reviews close to my situation BUT IT WORKS!!! #lessonlearned"


"My pain usually starts 3-4 days before my period actually comes. Tylenol#3 is the only thing that still helps me function normally during this time of month. Dr gave me mefenamic to try this time. After taking this, my pain is not only in my lower back but also pain and intense cramping in uterus...this stuff doesnt help my issues at all, if anything made it worse!"


"I had a very extreme adverse reaction to  Azelastine.  I took one spray in my right nostril.  Immediately, I had intense nasal burning, terrible pressure over my sinuses and severe headache, muscle spasms in calves and shoulders, drowsiness, increased blood pressure. Days later I developed nerve irritation and occipital neuralgia and dizziness due to pinched nerves from the muscle spasms in my shoulders.   My mouth became extremely dry with a bitter taste but luckily that only lasted a couple of days.  The occipital neuralgia has been the worst part.  It has been almost two weeks and I still have the neuralgia.  Massage and stretching help relieve it temporarily but then the pain comes back."


"Extremely erect "


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


"I have to say this drug did more harm then good and my body is very dependent on it. In only a year span I started having serious weight and back issues. I have never had any issues with my back but all of a sudden my bones started to get brittle. Then the disc herniations started happening, and like a domino effect entire spine was damaged. I see along of info on children or babies effected with their spine but apparently it can do the same for a grown adult. I was put on this med for anxiety and what my dr thought was bp. Turns out as time goes by dr lowers my depakote and cAme to the conclusion I do not have bp. Great.. Damage done.. Abnormal EEG. , spine damage, and severe chemical dependency .. Lost my hair , my looks, weight ."


"Just started my 6th month of Xyrem and not sure it is doing anything except keeping me awake every other night, giving me the munchies, waking me up (if I slept) freezing and decreasing the effectiveness of my Adderall up to 60mg 2xday, was taking 1/2 that prior to starting.  1st 2 months complete exhaustion, facial pain, sinus pain and just miserable."


"The number one piece of advice I can give here is to stop eating solid foods a day or two prior to your "liquids only" day. I ate chicken noodle soup, plain saltines and drank lots of Gatorade for 2 days. My prep day started with jello for breakfast, plain chicken broth for lunch. Lots of Gatorade and water. I did not chill the prep as many people here have suggested because my stomach is sensitive to cold. The only thing berry about this mixture is the smell. Tasted like ocean water to me. I just chugged it. The shear volume is the worst part. Within 30 minutes I was spraying. 2 hours later I took the second dose. There was no cramping or discomfort. To avoid injuring yourself, don't wipe yourself raw. Really, you'll just need to blot."


"I have been on Xulane for 8 months. The first few months included cramping, nausea, and terrible migraines after removing the patch for my patch free week. I gained a few pounds and my body has become more womanly and curvy. My boobs have gotten larger and more perky, and my butt has gained weight. Acne is very minimal, if any shows up. Now, my period comes exactly 3 days after patch removal and around the same time of day, which is great! However, I get nauseous sometimes and a little crampy before my period. My period has not gotten any lighter or shorter. Occasionally, I get super bad migraines the day after patch removal. I've had a little spotting after my period. I absolutely love that I can just apply it to my skin!! So convenient"


"Ive been on this tablet for 3 years now and whilst it was an initial improvement to what I had been prescribed previously its side effects do build up over time. Joint and bone aches. Memory loss,fatigue, itchy tired dry eyes, weight gain, sugar cravings, raynauds syndrome , nails and hair very slow growing.Oh and yeah I looked up what it contains and im horrified to see sodium hydroxide =caustic soda (drain cleaner) ."


"I took this medication until my HMO dropped it fron their formulary. While taking it, I felt great. I took only one a day and, if I forgot to take it or forgot to refill it before running out, I could miss a day or two without the heartburn returning. My doctor subsequently put me on Prilosec, twice a day. If I miss one, heartburn returns with a vengeance. If I miss a whole day, it takes three to five days to get the heartburn under control, again"


"I had Implanon inserted in February 2010 and so far I have loved it.  The actual insertion was fine, just a little sore and bruised afterwards but soon disappeared.  Little scar left but certainly not noticeable. I was originally on the pill, decided time for a change and when I read about Implanon I thought it sounded great and perfect for me.
Since insertion I have had no periods and my moods have been fine (I think anyway). Only problem that I have had is that after about a month of not taking the pill I have become very spotty (acne) again - now not just on my face where I used to as a teen but on my chest and back and also have very greasy skin.  No weight gain but I am heading back to doctors regarding spots to see what can be done.  Other than that its great."


"Been on effexor xr for approximately 25 years....150mg...but still getting horrific night sweats...has  anyone else suffered this long...or...been on effexor xr longer"


"I am 20 years old and I have been on this for over a year now. I tried other birth control pills before this one, but the estrogen levels were way too high (my boobs got bigger and I got extremely moody). Lo-loestrin was so much better! Since it has such a small dose of both hormones, I haven't noticed any negative side effects. The first couple of months I had dark, sticky discharge (especially during menstration time); however, since then I have not had a period. My gynecologist says this is okay at my age and not something to worry about. Overall I am very happy with this birth control."


"I have had Implanon for almost 6 months now and I am considering taking it out. My periods are frequent (twice a month) and last about 5-7 days each. In the past, my periods were once a month, lasting about 2-4 days. I have no sex drive what so ever and have experienced severe mood swings, migraines and weight gain. Since I had the birth control inserted, I have gained about 10 pounds and I was prescribed daily medication for my migraines. In-between my periods, I spotted a lot and even had a 17 day period several weeks after having it inserted.

This birth control method seemed to be the best fit for me at the time but after several months of having it, I think I made a mistake. I would much rather take a pill every day."


"Had a condom accident on July 29th during a very fertile time for me, and I took the pill 2 hours later. I was SO STRESSED for 2 weeks thinking of this pill not working, but it did. Got my period today, 3 days earlier than normally expected. This pill made me extremely tired and gave me very sore breasts for a couple of days, but it overall worked! So please please please to anyone reading this, RELAX. It will all be okay!"


"Increased quality of my life after trying several antidepressants (did
nothing helpful at all!). Side effects made matters worse despite doing nothing for my chronic anxiety due to bouts of cancer."


"I have used Enbrel since it was approved. I like the results much better than using Methotrexate alone. The psoriasis has been reduced from moderately severe to mild."


"I am 17, and have tried a plethora of birth control pills all to try to help my acne. First was Ortho Tri-cyclen. I tried it for a month and became depressed, so I stopped. Next was Yaz. It was amazing. My skin was crystal clear in 3 months, and even cystic acne on my back completely disappeared. The only problem: 10 pounds of weight gain after 6 months. I stopped Yaz and tried Alesse. It made me depressed. Next was Loestrin. I have been on loestrin for 5 months now. For the first three months, my skin was perfect. I had no weight gain, and my boobs went up a cup size. After the third month though my acne came back. I just finished my last pack today, and I am going to try Kariva next. If that doesn't work. I am taking the risk and going to take Accutane."


"l had immediate results when first taking seroquel l felt alot calmer and mood improved. Since then my symptoms worsened and l have found no benefit at all"


"Took the one day pill and found the effects lasted for about three days - think it may be possible to use a lower dosage - this will help to reduce the expense."


"I smoked for almost 50 years and sometimes over 2 packs per day. I tried almost everything to stop smoking, including hypnotism and nothing worked. My doctor suggested Chantix and we discussed the side effects. He felt that I should have no problems with them. Next week it will be 1 year since I quit. I have not cheated even once, but the urge is still there. The side effects were minimal, but I did have a small weight gain. If you want to quit, I suggest Chantix. "


"I took for 8 weeks, 53 year old male. I moved to a new town for job. It is pretty depressing when you don't know anyone. Zoloft 50 mg. First night NO sleep. Started taking  at night with Ambien. I sleep for about 5 hours then I'm up at 3 am. Major side effects: inability to orgasm, clenched teeth, restless legs, trembling, loss of appetite, diarhea and sweating. First week was nausea, trembling but emotions were better. After 8 weeks, I think the side effects aren't worth the benefit. Quit cold turkey 4 days now. No major problems. Teeth clench still but, not as bad."


"I have been a fibromyalgia sufferer for about 9 years now.  I saw a rheumatologist a month ago.  He prescribed me with Savella.  I have to say that I was a bit worried about the side effects after reading a lot of patient reviews, but I decided to give it a try.  I'm so glad that I did!  My fibro pain went from a daily average of 9, to about a 2.  My energy level is up.  My mental focus is back!  I've started to see the extra weight come off.  I'm even thinking about going back to work!  My side effects only lasted for about 2 weeks and they were so mild that I was hardly bothered. The only real problem that I've had is insomnia, but I've always had that problem and I'm getting back on Ambien for that.  Try this medicine, it has changed my life!"


"Very very happy. Only one shot a day & this stuff is smooth. Don't have to take as much apidra. Been taking it since 12/6/15 . Already reduced my total insulin intake from 48-50 units to just 40. Only take 30 Tresiba in morning & if blood sugar is 70-100 hardly no need for apidra with my normal breakfast. Probably will slowly come down on Tresiba. This is a breakthrough."


"I've tried Xanax, Valium, and Klonopin with my generalized anxiety disorder. Klonopin is not super strong but gets the job done and lasts a whole lot longer than the others. Not as easily addictive since you don't feel the need to take more because of its long half life. Please don't involve yourself with Xanax. It's terrible. Short lasting and way too strong."


"I've been taking this for over a year. Fortunately, I never experienced any of the side effects described by many people here.  I always have such high hopes when trying something new for MDD. This medication did not deliver the hoped-for miracle of no more depression, but I must say, my mood has improved to a degree.  I am able to get "up" for certain activities now, where this was very difficult while on other medications. This has lightened my mood better than Viibryd or Cymbalta."


"Awful stuff. If you have ever suffered with depression do not use this because it will make you very depressed - they don't tell you this. mood swings have been awful from angry to crying to anxious. I'm like a psycho on it. constant headaches, tiredness, stomach cramps, heartburn, feel dizzy and weak, nausea.. and the hunger! Omg the hunger.. I constantly feel like I haven't eaten for a week and even after eating a meal I still have hunger pain. The only good thing it's done for me (except prevent pregnancy) is I am losing weight even though I'm eating more because of the constant hunger. It seems to have made my metabolism go crazy. I've lost 5 pounds in the 4 weeks since I had the injection. Majority of people gain weight though I read."


"I'm 52 & last October hot flashes started, about 14 daily (worse at night). Desperate for relief GP prescribed Clonidine warning they cause headaches. I'm prone to h/aches, 2-3 weekly and also suffer with migraine. Took for 2 wks & flushes stopped completely AND no headaches! However, after only 2 months the hot flashes returned & I was getting migraines. GP advised I stop but must do so gradually. When I did OMG, migraines were debilitating so be warned! Don't understand why pills stopped working for me, I was on cloud 9 with these, had got my life back! Felt terrific for those 2 months, so frustrating!"


"Continuing on from last post....I have been super constipated and am at a weight stand still for a couple of weeks now.  Anyone else experience this?"


"I am on day 6 of wearing the patch for the first time.  On the 3rd day, nausea began and it has come in waves everyday since.  I also feel extremely tired.  I have had moments where I want to rip it off but I have read that the symptoms will lessen if I stick it out.  I am 31 years old and have not been on any birth control in at least 13 years and have no children.  So at this point, I am going to stick it out a bit longer."


"i recently started taking seroquel.  for years I had racing thoughts, inability to sleep (sometimes as little as 3-4 hours for days), my mood was that of a ticking time bomb.  My family did not know when I would have a mood swing.  Worse than that, neither did I!  I find that with seroquel I am able to think rationally and act appropriately.  Without it, I have had a LOT of trouble with impulsive behavior that has caused an immense amount of grief and struggle for my family."


"I was on the Nuvaring for a few months and loved it. The first month I had some breakthrough bleeding but by the second month I had no side effects. I stopped only because I wanted a baby. Now my son is 6 months and I'm looking to start on it again. Would highly recommend."


"For me viagra 50 mg works great. I have trouble finishing if I have sex more than once a week. If I wait 5 to 7 days sex is a lot better. SSRI makes it tuff to orgamism"


"I know how stressful you're right now but you don't have to worrie. I was exactly in your position on May 22 I decided to have sex with an old friend of mines and we didn't use any protection at all, so he came all the way and I was super freaked out so I took the pill 26 hours after our little session and a week later I started to spot but only for a day which made me super scared because I thought I was prego but at last I finally got my period so everyone don't trip it works!"


"Have only been on Pristiq less than 1 week and previously taking Lexapro, which did nothing for me. On Lexapro for years and accepted it when doctors told me that I may not feel better than what I do. With Pristiq someone has turned the light on in my brain and there is a distinct shift in my mood. I hope I have found the right antidepressant to help me recover and feel like entering the land of the living again...fingers and toes crossed. I will keep you posted...no noticeable side effects as yet."


"Ive been using methadone to help manage my severe chronic pain. I take 80mg over the course of 12 hrs. I have seen posts about methadone and it appears that this medication some-what blocks out effects of other opiods. This is confusing to me, reason being that I am also given 15mg oxycodone IR for breakthrough pain. So my question would be, why would my pain doc prescribe that to work in conjunction with the methadone?."


"I have had this implant for about 5 months based on the recommendation from my Doctor. Worst mistake ever. I always had irregular periods, but never bleeding for months on end with large clots. I'm talking props from a horror movie looking blood & gore. I informed her of my issues when I bled for 2 weeks straight. She said my body was just getting used to the hormones & such. That is totally understandable. But I don't believe for a second any medication should caused bleeding for a month and a half, stop for a month & start again. Heavily. I'm talking about a woosh & puddle heavy. I'm so glad I was @ home because I would have been mortified had I been in public. I've been on several types of birth control but I do NOT suggest this."


"This medication made me feel shaky, nervous and very angry. It was horrible. I went back to effexor xr 225mg. I am much better"


"Negative and potentionally dangerous experience. All Movantik did for me was give me gas and painful cramps all day/night. For the entire 2 weeks I took it I did not have any BM. Thankfully I was switched back to my regular OIC medicine and could make.  If I would have continued to take Movantik, I was running the risk of a serious blockage being created from that medicine, so I strongly recommend that if this does not work for someone within 14 days to immediately consult a doctor!"


"I was on Lyrica for 5 months. It seemed to help with the pain somewhat for a while, but didn't stop it. Also, I GAINED 40 POUNDS. The doctor told me if I was careful about my eating habits that I wouldn't gain too much weight, but this was not true. After I went off it, I lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks - just from water weight. I have yet to be able to lose the rest of the weight."


"I'm only 17 I used plan b before can't remember if I got sick after taking it before. But me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex Tuesday 10th night when I was fertile, two days away from my ovulation day. I had him go get the pill the same night took it about 1/2 hours after. Took it with Mcdonalds and went right to sleep after couple days later I don't feel anything. But my breast are very sore and I'm just constantly hungry. Suppose to get my period on thanksgiving the 26th. Waiting game horrible ."


"Extremely effective in countering onset of major events.  This is the only atypical antipsychotic  prescribed (twelve-year history), which I have found to be successful for my resistant condition.  Dosage is medium-high, producing occasional, but manageable side effects.  Used in five-drug regimen including antidepressants and mood stabilizers."


"I have a rare myeloproliferative disorder. Thanks to Gleevec, I can live an entirely active and normal life with a normal life expectancy. My blood analysis has always been normal since starting Gleevec."


"Ok as a first time user I'm going to give my honest answer based on usage for 3 days now. So my doc prescribed me these because I have developed anxiety disorder. Well, I decided to take these when I start to feel panicked. After 20 minutes or so. I'm easy. Thoughts simmer down. Mind stop racing and negative thoughts seem to push to the back and not to the front as usual.  They make me feel mellow and laid back..Mind you. I'm not a drug user of any type so that's probably why they work so well for me. I keep them with me all the time. They don't make me drowsy. However, if I'm relaxed. I can definitely dose off. I recommend these if they are the only medicine you are taking.  It seems to work best in my clean system. Hope this helps"


"Works great - but when I stopped, acne came back. Cleared up again now I'm back on them but I just worry how long I need to be on them. First started about 5 months ago - saw a huge difference within the first month. Definitely recommend it!"


"Has significantly reduced my mania and irritability.  I'm much more stable.  Has also reduced my need for alcohol, which I used frequently to medicate.  I've been on several medicines for bipolar and this one seems to work for me. Started at 2mg. at night and worked up to 10mg, (5th day at 10mg.) and feel much more in control.  My insomnia is gone too. I haven't gained any weight but was on Risperdal (gained 10 pds.) can't seem to lose that weight. Since I've decided to quit drinking maybe I'll lose the weight."


"I took one pill. ONE. Within 12 hours I began itching from head to toe. In 24 hours I was in the emergency room with a terrible rash all over me. It was so bad and it was raised so high you could almost measure it with a ruler! I didn't want to scratch first. I had to get two shots in my belly, was put on oral prednisone for two weeks (which then calls for a slow wean-off of the drug), a prescription topical medicine and over-the-counter medicines. The rash hung around for almost three weeks. I'm allergic to sulfa and all NSAIDS, but my doctor wasn't sure what is in this drug to cause this reaction. He put me on tamoxifen next, which I took for 7 years but the cancer came back. I am now on letrozole with no problems except joint pain."


"I started taking low dose Quetiapine (Seroquel) 3 years ago for sleep and anxiety, instead of Lorazepam (Ativan), which was losing its effectiveness. I also take Escitalopram 10mg daily for depression. The Seroquel has been fantastic - I only take 1/4-1/2 of a 25mg tablet as even 25mg was too sedating and even after 3 years of almost daily use, I have not needed to increase the dose. I also occasionally go a few days without taking it and do not have any withdrawal symptoms. I normally take it only at night to help sleep, but occasionally during the day for anxiety. I have not had ANY weight gain, increased appetite nor other side effects, but perhaps I am just lucky to be sensitive to such a low dose, avoiding these common side effects."


"I have suffered with Migraines since childhood.  Missed days of school and eventually days of work.  I've been put on every medication doctors could think of and spent quite a bit of time in ER's due to chronic migraines. Finally, I switched doctors due to a move and was prescribed Relpax.  This stuff is absolutely AMAZING! I prefer the 40mg dose and it takes care of my migraine within 20 minutes."


"I have an ascending aortic aneurysm and was put on metoprolol to help control chest pain and lower my heart rate. I've been on it 1 month and have about half a much pain and my heart rate has dropped from 100's down to 80's. Only side effected noted is mild dizziness every once in a while. I'd like to have no pain, but considering my situation that's not realistic so I'd say I'm happy with the results so far."


"Not a fan. Went to urgent care for a particularly painful UTI and was prescribed cipro and immediately took the first dose. The plus side is it started working almost immediately. 24 hours later and I'm about 90% better already. However after taking the second pill I developed some slight nausea and then several hours later noticed some muscle pain in my calves and behind my knees and it has now spread to my shoulders and wrists. After reading that cipro can cause serious and permanent damage I quit using it immediately and asked to be switched to a different antibiotic. Not worth it!"


"I was given 12.5 mg of generic Paxil 5 days ago. My anxiety started to manifest itself with uncontrollable crying. While it's has been only 5 days, the crying has stopped. So I'm happy with that. However, I am experiencing side effects: lightheaded, pin prick feelings in arms and legs, some joint pain, lower back pain, and lethargy that makes me feel like doing/caring about nothing.

Because the side effects come and go, I'm willing to wait it out to see if everything mellows out."


"I had the Liletta IUD inserted 8/05/15. The insertion was super painful. I have a low threshold for pain and have never had kids. The cramps were horrible for an hour after the insertion. I was nauseous and light headed. Ever since I got it I have been spotting. I haven't gone more than a week without spotting..max maybe 3 or 4 days. It's so annoying! I will bleed for a day, then nothing for 2 days, then brownish discharge. The spotting is very random. I am thinking of switching to pills because of this.

The only good thing is that my PMS symptoms have gone down since I started using it. I used to be EXTREMELY moody and irritable  due to PMS but that is not the case anymore. It has been effective in keeping me not pregnant."


"Condom had a hole in it maybe got some sperm inside the vag and wasn't sure. Gave my gf plan b she took it about an hour after. She had no side effects the first few days and we both got really scared. Then about 4 days later she got some cramping but no period. The cramping stopped and we became really afraid she wasn't gonna get her period. But all the sudden about 6 days later without no sign she got it. The period was really rough and painful but overall worth it cause she wasn't pregnant. Take this pill asap if you think you need to and it should work. It really is a lifesaver"


"I had the Nexplanon for a year and four months it was highly effective contraception. However, the side effects were terrible.
1.Mood swings
2. Depression (I've suffered with depression before and the drug just aggravated my depression more)
3. Headaches
4. Breast tenderness
5. Anxiety/ panic attacks ( which I've never had a problem with before til now)
6. Difficulty breathing (had a pulmonary test and a cardiologist look at my heart and they said all was fine)
7. Chest pain/ palpations
8. Paranoia
9. HORRIBLE cramps ( I've never had really bad cramps until I got the Nexplanon put in)
10. No periods for a couple of months just spotting, no period but horrible cramps
11. Backache
12. Hungry all the time
13. No sex drive"


"Using Trintellix for 2.5 months and I feel transformed. It breaks my heart to see how difficult these medications are for those on this blog. I've always been a half empty person. Go figure. I've done OK with my career and my relationships. But everyday felt like a battlefield, another day of struggle and woe. I went to my doctor and ask for a dopamine booster. Trintellix is what she prescribed. I had a sense a dopamine booster would help since I like drinking and alcohol stimulates the production of dopamine. As does weed. Now with Trintellix I don't need either of those, and my have passion and energy for living has returned, something that I thought was long gone (I'm 65). My only side effects have been a little dizziness, but temporary."


"I have irregular periods (1 per year) so I was put on birth control to help. When I was a teen I was on ortho tri cyclen and it worked just fine.

I am 24 now and got a new Doc and was swapped to yaz, one pill for 28 days. I was on it for about a year. NEVER AGAIN!

I also have a tilted uterus so my cramps can be debilitating. Yaz was supposed to help. It made it worse. The cramps sat in my lower back and it felt like shooting pains through my who body.

The worst part was I developed panic attacks. My mood was terrible. I was either angry or I cried every time I saw something lovey dovey on a netflix movie.

My depression got worse. To the point where I thought I was going nuts. I finally had enough and asked to be put back on ortho."


"47 yr old male with type 2 diabetes. Wasn't getting fully erect and would lose erection before ejaculating. Very stressful! Took a 20mg Cialis and was amazed at what it could do in about an hour. Rocked the wife's world once again. Only side effect was a very mild headache which lasted about 24 hours, nothing I can't tolerate for the benefits. If you are thinking about Cialis don't hesitate getting it, expensive yes but you won't regret it!"


"This will be my 4th month using Kariva. The only thing it helped with (besides preventing pregnancy) was making my period shorter. I went from 8 long, heavy and painful days to only 2 very light, no pain days! Other than that, I've been miserable . It hasn't helped with acne at all, it actually started to cause body acne which I've never had. Also, a huge issue that I have, I'm VERY dry down there; causing it to hurt during my period when I want to insert a tampon AND painful sex. I can't even begin to describe how painful it is, it's like my insides are being torn apart & the pain doesnt go away for hours after trying to have sex. Its taking a huge toll on my relationship. I would not recomennd this pill. I will have to talk to my dr soon."


"Headache free for over 6 months now!  Mild to moderate urinary retention.  Mild to moderate dry mouth.  Take in morning."


"I just got my prescription filled for the 3rd time and wanted to write a review to help others. I was so scared to take this after having a bad experience with Zoloft. I remember coming here and reading all the reviews and still didn't take the medicines prescribed until a month later. The first two weeks I was so tired and had extreme dry mouth. I thought I would have to quit because I was so tired and couldn't work. I had two weeks off between Christmas and the New Year and decided to stick with it. I'm so glad I did. I feel like myself again and with zero side effects now except for when I don't take it for a few days. If I ever do come off, I will ween slowly. I was also so scared to gain weight which, thankfully, didn't happen. Love it!"


"After taking this for 3 days and experiencing horrible pain throughout by body I quit. It caused tendinitis in several of my joints. "


"I know this medicine is expensive but truly helped me. With other medicines with cymbalta I am able to live a much better life. So cymbalta saved my life."


"I've taken my fair share of medications for UTIs and so far this one seemed to be the most effective as far as relieving symptoms quickly. My doctor prescribed me to take two pills a day for 10 days. I felt relief from UTI symptoms as soon as the 2nd or 3rd day. That being said, it has some nasty side effects. They say you can take it with or without food and I'm guessing that because it makes your stomach feel horrible either way. I've experienced diarrhea, painful gas and bloating, and nausea, since the first day of taking it. From my experience this can usually be expected with strong antibiotics. My advice would be to take a probiotic to help counterbalance! I've done it before and it helps me."


"After extreme weight gain on SSRIs, I thought buspar would be my miracle drug. I was totally wrong. After day two I had such bad twitches/tremors and my jaw seemed to locked for short periods of time. Went to emergency due to the side effects causing panic attacks."


"Worked for everything but my neck"


"Solodyn is great. It starts working fast and I haven't had any side effects."


"So as I'm laying here reading, i'm finally realizing it's the meds & not just me. I'm 37yrs old but didn't become epileptic til 10yrs ago... they started me on Dilantin which I'm allergic to so they switched me to Keppra, I was having at least 1 episode every 3mths until I lost my mother which caused the seizures 2 really spiral out of control having at least 3 auras or seizures daily so they added Vimpat to my treatment and now I'm always uneasy, have trouble sleeping, crazy dreams & I'm like a ticking time bomb ready to snap on someone for the most simplest things smh... no patience which is causing me to seek mental therapy twice a wk... In case all you other users were not informed, this IS a narcotic that we are taking like it or not"


"I have been taking Ambien or its generic since it first came out in samples at my doctors office.  I quickly graduated from 5 mg to 10mg and have been on it ever since.  The brief period of time that my insurance didn't cover it, there was no relief for me. They tried tranxene (pharmacist said insurance co recommended) and that was a joke.  I too am a chronic insomniac with chronic migraines and no sleep equals migraine.  2 years ago my family Dr cut me back to 5mg  ( due to the " women shouldn't take 10mg) insomnia and migraines raged to new limits.  returned to 10mg.  Even during my brief hospital stays over the past few years, the nurses do NOT need to put a bed alarm etc on me because I suffer from ZERO side effects. This is a lifesaver"


"Horrible BC. I have never in my life experienced any skin problems, but once I got on this pill I had pimples all over my face. I got my period almost twice a month and a lot of spotting. Also had mood swings on it. At least my cramps stopped and breast tenderness stopped but other than that HORRIBLE!"


"I have found Lyrica very helpful. I have fibromyalgia and I also suffer from depression. (I am also a diabetic). I used Lyrica with no expectations of any kind. I was so surprised when for the first time in I don't know how long I could move my head easily and what a reduction in pain. I am so happy I was not afraid to try it."


"I can say without reservation that this works. Start weight 246 lbs 5"9 and end weight 202lbs so far in five months. It takes time and I work out as best I can but my goal will be accomplished in one year.
I find my appetite is easily managed as far as sweets, salty snacks etc. My appetite is fine as things taste good but no binges. Had a headache and now drink probably what I should have been doing all along. I consider this Belviq a nice aid to helping me with weight loss success. "


"I was taking Ambien CR 12.5mg  for 2 years sleeping great, but over time I developed a tolerance, I had to take my Ambien and a kolonpin to sleep. I started taking Belsomra 10mg a week ago, it works great! I recently have been crying at night bc I couldn't sleep, but this is working great. I'd say it lasts a good 7 hours for me, I'm not drowsy when I wake, the only side effect I have are really enhanced dreams, not scary just so detailed."


"I have been taking Jardiance for 8 month, my A1C drop from 10.1 to 7.5, also lost 12 pounds and I haven't experienced any side effects except for frequent urination and thirst ,so far is working for me."


"I was the king of pills literally 400-500 mg per day and a lot of whiskey. This has gone on for about 7 years with many attempts to quit. Found out about Suboxone and quit everything after the first dose."


"My husband has honestly had a wonderful experience taking Belviq. He has steadily lost weight and is changing his relationship with food by simply eating smaller portions. No real side effects."


"I suffer from what I believe to be Morgellons Disease (Unidentified Dermopathy) in which I break out with lesions that last for many months to well over a year.  I pull little particles out of these lesions that stretch and are extremely painful.  I was placed on Navane 4mg at bedtime approximately 3 years ago.  About 4 months into taking Navane my lesions healed up and HAVE NOT RETURNED in 2 1/2 yrs.  I cannot praise this medication enough to be lesion free for this long as I usually had 8 or more lesions that lasted for a year.  I no longer pick at my skin or ruin my clothes from the bleeding.  It was obsessive skin picking because it was necessary to remove the hard scab and the white particles in the lesions."


"I was prescribed Seroquel as a "sleeping pill" for "insomnia". I recently found out that it is an antipsychotic drug, I felt betrayed.  I did a rapid detox program and they put me on all these medicines when they released me, no wonder this pill didn't put me to sleep, I can stay up forever after I take it. The only way it helps me sleep is if I take one and a half pills, which is 150 mg, then it puts me to sleep within 30 minutes to an hour, however, my dose is only supposed to be 100 mg swallowed 2 hours before bedtime, but it takes way longer than two hours. I might never go to sleep if I only take one and swallow it rather than chewing it up!"


"The drug is a great addition to my diet."


"I found this medication a bit difficult at first, but my doctor told me it takes 1-4 weeks for the body to adjust to this, so I held out. Am now on 80mg, and each increase took a few weeks to get used to. To anybody trying this medication and reading these reviews, make sure the reviewer stayed on it for over 28 days before posting, because after three weeks, it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have energy, and motivation. I don't struggle to get out of bed. It's not hard to do my laundry - I just do it. It's great!"


"This product is amazing! I have gone through one bottle and am on to my second. It stings a little at first but then it goes away. My skin is the clearest its ever been. I have tried everything from homemade remedies to high-end expensive products and NOTHING has worked for me the way Acanya has."

"I'm an active 51-year-old female with severe neck pain, esp. on the right, and probably from playing too many games on Android.  I have had trigger point injections, facet blocks, PT, massage, TENS, daily heat therapy, and a host of meds over the past several months. I also take Norco regularly. Soma did not help the neck pain.  But this Zanaflex works very well to alleviate the neck pain quickly.  I only take it if I don't have to drive (or be social) because of the dry mouth and grogginess.  My brother, 29, takes it for his back pain and swears by it, too.  I just wish I could get rid of the neck pain. I think it's also improved with my new exercise program: 30 mins on the elliptical, stretches, crunches, and leg lifts, then machines."


"I have tried several medications for GERD. Did not work. When I go in to the hospital, I have to have my doctor order that I can bring in my generic Prevacid because they do not carry Prevacid in their pharmacy and the one they give me doesn't work. I take 30mg 2x daily. Have had no side effects. But now my new insurance requires me to get an exception to be able to take 2 per day."
