"Works very well for contact dermatitis etc., better than any store bought cortisone. One rash I had for years was cleared in 1 use. Now I use on occasion at first signs of re-occurrence. I had some conditions that it did not help.  If it does not clear in a week or so, get the doctor to do some kind of test to find out whats really wrong (most likely virus or fungus). 45 year white male.  No obvious side effects."


"I'm starting my 1st week of the 3rd month on trisprintec. First month my period was on time with 3 days of additional spotting. Finishing up the 2nd month now and I have been bleeding for over 2 weeks!!! First it was light, then heavy (on time for expected period) since the expected end date I have had light bright pink or red spotting for 9 days past my period. Besides frustration, I've had cramps throughout and felt feverish at times. I've also experienced bad migraines and fatigue. I've never had this level of symptoms with BC before. I was off of BC for a year and this is what I get for trying to get back on it....beware!"


"I took 1 100mg Macrobid at 12pm today for a UTI. Felt bad around 6, so I went to lay down. Around 9, I woke up with extreme chills to the point my teeth were chattering (I'm a very hot-natured person), horrible muscle cramps, nausea, fever, and even hallucinations. I seriously thought I was dying. Thank God my mom called the pharmacist and he said not to take another. It's 12am now, and I still have a fever, and a horrible headache and body aches. AFTER ONE PILL. Don't take this medicine, y'all. It should be banned. I feel like I was poisoned."


"I took this medicine while I was pregnant, it was difficult in the 1st 2 weeks. I had a lot of anxiety and I went to sleep really fast but after that the medicine worked perfectly and I was very happy with it. My baby was born full term and very healthy but now I'm nursing and I had to stop taking Latuda, that was a bad idea. I feel horrible right now, I need to go back on the medicine."


"I started taking this because my doctor insisted in me trying something after many failed programs after I read most of you guys reviews I gave it a try and the 1st day I felt weird as hell had a tingling feeling on my left hand and a headache from hell but after my 2nd day it's like I don't feel a thing maybe only a headache but ibuprofen took care of that. I would tell anyone scared to try it give it at least two days. And I believe you'll love it. I'm starting out with 266 pounds."


"I had the MIrena IUD inserted three days ago, had it removed today.  I'm 60, post menopausal, taking compounded estrogen and progesteron.  Due to uterine lining thickening and a polyp, OBGYN did a D&C a few weeks ago, recommended the Mirena IUD to prevent further lining build-up.

  The insertion was easy.  I was told to take 800 mg of ibuprofen 1.5 hours before insertion, felt no pain, very mild cramping after, no bleeding.  The first night I felt anxious, kept waking up.  The second night I couldn't fall asleep, finally fell asleep around 3am, fitfull sleep.  Third night, no sleep until 5am.  I'm very sensitive to meds, have the same problem with predensone and anti-histamines."


"My experience was HORRID. I got the Implanon as a 18 year old, it made me moody. It made me BREAK out with cysts. I got it in July of '12 and got it removed in December of '12. Not to mention, I gained back the weight I had lost the year prior. It was hell. But.... My doctor convinced me to give it another shot so I got it May of '16 and got it removed today! When I was on it, I was moody, depressed, spotting for three months, not to mention gained the weight I lost while being off of it.

I would recommend for you to do Your research. If you're sensitive to hormones, it is NOT worth the money. My friend has the same thing, she has no symptoms and it's a breeze for her. For me it made me into a grumpy Shrek. Therefore, I would never get th"


"This medicine is wonderful! My 9 yr old has been taking 5mg once a night for almost a year. Total turn around! The only side effect we have is increased appetite and weight gain. I do worry about his blood sugar...but the changes are seriously unreal!"


"I had my Skyla inserted this morning and let me not scare anymore but understand it is the most simple procedure however you will feel 30 seconds of either extremely bad cramping or unbearable pain and then it's over. Just stay calm and relaxed when the procedure it taking place because you don't want to alter the location of the Skyla before all the tools can be removed from your vagina. The first day I have experienced cramps and tension in my lower stomach. I took ibuprofen 800mg before I went to the doctor to ease up the pain."


"First treatment to effectively stop my heart burn and reflux in more than a year."


"I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in January of 2012, I tried several medications prescribed by my doctor but nothing helped, I got to where I couldn't even get out of bed, couldn't even turn a door nob so I was a prisoner in my own house, I started taking Prednisone three weeks ago and feel like a new person, no pain at all anywhere. I don't care about any side effects, just to be able to live normally again is worth it to me. For now it has changed my life for the better."


"Took the pill 10 hours after unprotected sex, 1-2 days before ovulation, according to Clue, but you can never be sure! Used withdrawal method but wanted to be sure.
I didnt have any symptoms at first, but after a week and a half, I experienced mood swings and depression, a bit of acne, back pain and cramping - all of the symptoms I have in PMS, but more severe. Hormonal bomb! My period was late 8 days and I was petrified and stressed to the max, bought a test and it came out negative. Got my period that night!!!!! (9 days late, a bit heavier flow) STAY CALM GIRLS AND USE PROTECTION!!!!!!!!!"


"Worked at first to bring heartburn/acid re-flux under control, however I had to stop taking it because it started causing severe stomach & abdominal pain. Now control through diet & Tums EX. The pain from the Protonix side effect was terrible when it started happening."


"My wife started getting non-stop dark and intrusive thoughts. Diagnosis was psychotic depression or atypical bipolar depression with psychotic features.

She took Latuda for three weeks, and it simply didn't work at all. The only thing good I can say is that she didn't suffer any side effects. She went from 20mg to 60mg."


"I've been on this pill for about two months now and I've experienced weight gain, extreme mood changes, and irregular periods (which may be because I just began taking it.) So far it's done its job, but the side effects taking a toll on my body are no longer tolerable for me personally."


"I've been on this medication for 2 weeks now ,I do get nausea ,my eye sight is very blurry, I'm always tired my  sugar levels are normal ,I also get lots off random pain in my feet this medicine is totally horrible I won't be taking it anymore !!!"


"This was the first birth control I ever tried and let me tell you my experience was horrible. I constantly felt like I was going to throw up and at times I did. I also felt like crying about everything. I wasn't myself at all so I changed birth control pills to Microgestin and everything has been great. I have been on them for about a year now."


"I was sure I was ovulating when the condom broke, but I took Plan B 9 hours after the incident. I read on the Planned Parenthood website that if you are ovulating or have already ovulated, Plan B has no effect in preventing pregnancy. Luckily, I got my period on the exact day that I was supposed to. I rated 10 stars because if taken before ovulation, it is very effective as it mainly works by delaying ovulation. However, during or after ovulation it's not clear that it works to prevent pregnancy. I didn't get pregnant, and it may be because Plan B did it's job in preventing implantation, or it could have been because I was not actually ovulating. It is difficult to tell when exactly you are ovulating. Don't freak out just yet. Good luck!"


"I just want to add that after the absolute HELL involved with METHADONE WITHDRAWAL symptoms I have experienced over the years trying to get off many times over a 30 year period, I have went 8-10 days with NO SUBS at all and I can say with experience and absolute honesty, the WD symptoms with SUB WD is truly nothing compared to methadone WD. No comparison whatsoever. An article in my local newspaper from a Doc who dispenses SUBS claims it non-addictive. Nonsense, but I agree if you want to get off it appears like a walk in the park."


"Had all of the requirements - PD-L1,  90% effaced,  did not have the tumor mutations,  1st line of defense.   Bought in to the "wonder" drug hype and it FAIL MISERABLY.   Cancer metastasized.   Now being treated with chemo and responding but it's too late"


"I tried Sumavel Dosepro for the first time approximately 3 months ago.  It does take away about 80-90% of the headache pain, but am left with a "sinus" feeling  headache that really hurts when I cough, sneeze or bend over, which is typical for me for a day after a migraine.  The injection sting feels a little like being snapped by a rubber band.  It didn't feel extremely painful to me. I do get a fairly intense burning sensation mostly along my scalp but to a lesser degree across the surface of my skin as well. My arms feel very heavy and it was frightening at first.  My biggest problem is that I get intensely sleepy and for about 20 minutes I feel like I'm operating in "slow motion"."


"Best medicine to open your ears and sinuses when they are really congested. I have tried everything. The name brand is great but the store brands or generic brands can cause rapid heart rate even though they say that they are supposed to be the same they are not."


"I started this medication October 13,2016. I am 5 foot one, weighing in at 184 pounds. "


"After using metoprolol for 2 months not only did my blood pressure not go down but I had side effects that warranted my discontinuing it. I developed a pervasive cough and a sensation as if I had fluid in my lungs."


"DAY 8 - sore throat and minor headache. Had quit day planned for day 8 but had some craving and smoked 3 cigarettes. Still very proud of myself and have pushed quit day back a couple of days... still hopeful."


"I've tried multiple birth control pills and I thought I found my saving grace when I first started taking this pill. My skin was clearer and my boobs grew which was a bonus. While taking this pill my sex drive has been almost non-existent. The problem for me has been Placebo week. The change in hormones throughout the month than dropping off to have my period has given me crazy mood swings. I don't think I've ever felt so depressed, hopeless, unhappy with life and with things that made me previously happy. Usually if I am PMSing it lasts for a day or two but with this BC it's consistently there. My mental health is not worth side effects of this pill. If you struggle with mood swings especially while on birth control pills I would NOT recommend"


"I started Nexplanon June 2015. I had spotting for the first 2 weeks, 1 period is July and haven't had another one yet. I don't feel any more anxious than before but I have gained 8 lbs so far. I love it other than the weight gain. Hopefully that stops"


"This medication is NOT effective....why...because it can't work if no one can afford it!"


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


"I have been taking Rebif - I see an improvement in my work and in my attitude and everyday interactions with friends and family. Making me feel a lot better."


"I like SAMe it keeps my mood even and I have arthritis and anxiety. Have had pain remission ever since starting SAMe over 8 months ago. I take it with Super B Complex which is recommended to keep homocysteine levels even . It works great as a mood elevator. Love it"


"I found tramodol to be very effective in controlling my back pain.  I was able to use the minimum dose for the most part, but knew that I could take another half pill if the pain was more severe, usually in the morning.  As the pain decreased, I did not feel the need to take the medicine as often, and was able to get off of it easily. I could function well while on this drug at the minimum dose."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Took the prep @ 5:30pm. Taste not bad... but definitely use the lemon slices. Then did 16 ounces of Gatorade followed by 16 ounces of water.  Make yourself Comfy on the toilet.... I've been here the last 2 hours. It comes on quickly so I wouldn't risk it.... unless you wanna be poopy pants too. Overall, not bad at all. Easy prep"


"Like many other reviewers, I too was switched by my pharmacy from Aviane to Orysthia. I decided to give it a try because my doctor said that they both had same ingredients and made by the same company. I never experienced any side effects from Aviane, even when first taking them. Since I've been switched to Orysthia, I've experienced all the unpleasant side effects: nausea, massive weight gain, (95 lb to 101 lb) breakouts and major mood swings. "


"Went to the hospital due to the horrible effects of alcohol withdrawal. Misery was the state I was in. Shaking hands and cold sweats were just part of the problem. I was given Librium. Anyway, I felt as if the gates of Hell was lifted off of me. I almost instantly felt better. I was given 2 capsules (50 mg) every 6 hours on Day One and on the fourth and last day, 25mg every 8 hours. This medication was a life saver for me. It took all the miserable effects of alcohol withdrawal away as far as I'm concerned. I highly recommend this medicine for alcohol detox. The alternative is hours upon hours of Hell. You don't have to go through that. Take my word for it."


"Had one of those tricky cold sores where there is no tingling or burning, it just up and shows up out of no where. Showed up as a single blister around 10pm and I knew there was nothing I could do except ice it until the morning. Continued to ice all night in the hopes that it would not get worse and went to the doctor first thing in the morning. Took 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills at night and it is essentially gone, two days later. Never broke open, never crusted. Just kinda disappeared, all because of this little miracle pill. Definitely worth going to the doctor for - hopefully one day it will be available OTC!"


"Didn't want to be on any birth control. In the past I've been on the shot, the pill, nuvaring, hated it all.
Gyno said I should be on bc so now I'm on the patch. Been on it less than a month and it's a terrible experience. I'm throwing up all the time, stomach hurts, boobs hurt so bad, so moody I don't want to be around myself(can go from crying because it's the most ridiculous thing to wanting to rip somebody's face off for breathing in seconds), when I think I'm done bleeding it starts right back up, I eat everything because I'm always starving, and I'm breaking out. :("


"I've been using this for about a month and a half. No sign of a period. But I'm breaking out on my chest and back. My breasts have gotten bigger and are nice and firm, which I love. But I've gained about 8 pounds since I started it. It's especially noticeable in my stomach. "


"Extreme anxiety and feelings of fear following 50 mg dose of sertraline, taken for 5 days only.  I stopped due to persistent nausea, retching and diarrhoea,  leaving me unable to eat or function. Now on Prozac which has less severe gastric effects"


"Everyone is saying they bleed way too much with this birth control, I have had one period in the past three months, I almost thought I was pregnant because of how moody and sick I was getting. I did experience weight gain, a panic attack, and suicidal thoughts. I still have the implant, because it does its job well. I feel pain in the injection site almost constantly. I can feel the device under my skin and it's weird as hell. But at least I'm not pregnant."


"I've used monistat 3 before and it worked really well! This time I opted for monistat 1 and was VERY disappointed. Shortly after inserting the pill, I began to experience what I can only describe as the worst burning itching pain of my life. The pain eventually went away but has been coming on in spurts and it has been 3 days since I began the treatment. I do not recommend the one day treatment, but for me the 3 day worked very well."


"Started taking 50mg. Experience has been great.    I used to be too fast to the finish.  My wife loved the results.   So let me tell you this stuff WORKS only did effect was blue vision"


"After a month of taking 37.5mg of venlafaxine a day I began to experience palpitations, breathlessness, fast pulse rate and other unpleasant but less serious side effects, occasional staring spells, jerky movements and strange sensations in my neck and head. My GP told me to discontinue the drug straight away. I've been off venlafaxine for 2 weeks, although the breathlessness eased after a few days I'm still have fast pulse(over 100bpm), palpitations and an overall unwell feeling with aches/pains and strange "turning" sensation in my head which leaves me feeling spaced out for a minute or two after. My mood is currently worse than it was before taking the medicine."


"After my mum's death my doctor put me on this and it was a life saver. I took largest dose 120 mg. It helped me deal with her death and not stay in bed. I also found my arthritis from previous yrs never bothered me anymore. Body aches gone. I did wean myself off medicine after almost 3 yrs. But all body aches and pains came back. I am looking in to Going back on it for body aches."


"I suffer from cervical spinal stenosis. I had been on 4 a day Vicodin for 2 years. I wanted to get off this desperately. Recently my doctor prescribed gabapentin. I have now been on it for almost two weeks, and now have more mobility and range in my neck. For years it was hard for me to drive and look over my shoulder, left or right. Since being on this I am now able to look right or left almost 90 degrees without the pain I used to experience. I will say the pain or "feeling" is still there but not near the pain it used to be. Being on the medicine for only 2 weeks I have noticed it "wears" out in between doses but doctor informed me the increase in milligrams will help with that!"


"I have had the worst experience with this pill. My face, chest, and back are CONSTANTLY breaking out. I've never had this problem until my doctor switched me to Cryselle."


"I have excessive underarm sweating and I thought I would give Drysol a go which is an over the counter medicine here in Canada. I was hoping that it would work and I could wear clothes instead of putting on jackets in the summer. On my first application I dried my armpits and slowly applied it around my armpit and only noticed a little tingling sensation at first. During the night it itched a little bit but nothing too bad, the next day I noticed I was still sweating so I thought it would work the next day. On the 3rd night I applied it my armpit started to burn really badly, it burned to the point where I couldn't sleep all night and I was still sweating like before. "


"I have been on Trinessa for a little over a year, and since I am not pregnant I would say its doing it's job. The cramps that I used to have sent me home sick, and my period lasted 15 days once! However, when I first started on the pill I would get this strange really subtle nausea. Its subtleness almost made me feels worse, but that went away."


"I've been taking Pristiq for one week. My extreme sensitivity to Meds of this type has been long proven. Knowing me well and willing to work with me my Dr has me on 25 mg Pristiq in the morning with food every other day. I've had ups and downs this first week but am trying to stay positive. I have moments of feeling well and hope they continue to expand. I hope I don't have issues with every other day dosing causing withdrawal in between doses. I also have discovered that drinking coffee with Pristiq heightens my anxiety."


"I have been taking Lotronex for nearly 10 years (before and after it was pulled from the market). I'm male in my early 50s and have had irritable bowel syndrome since early childhood. Lotronex has been remarkably effective at controlling diarrhea and reasonably effective at moderating pain and intestinal cramps (though I still take dicyclomine) to help with that.  I was taking 2mg Lotronex a day with virtually no side effects. Occasional constipation but stopping the medicines for a day would fix that problem.  I recently cut back to 1/2 mg a day because my new insurance will not pay for it because I'm not female (maybe I should have a sex change operation).  If you suffer from IBS-D and have not considered Lotronex you should definitely talk to your doctor about it."


"I am a 57 yr old female who had a heart attack and a stent put in. I was prescribed Bystolic along with Norvasc to treat my hypertension. I didn't feel too bad at first, but after about a month on Bystolic (which my insurance won't pay for, nor does my local hospital have it to give to me when I am admitted). I had dizziness, low heart rate (41)and feeling like I was going to faint. I am uncomfortable taking this drug as the above mentioned symptoms caused me to be hospitalized 3x since the heart attack, and even had to have another cath to check the stent (which was fine). I will say it did keep my blood pressure low but the side effects hinder my quality of life."


"I have ERD - Emotional Regulation Disorder (aka BPD, Borderline Personailty Disorder)
& C-PTSD - Complex Post Tramatic Stress Disorder...OMG has this medication helped, I had so many symtoms with the two disorders I would of been better off in hell, afraid to go places, thought people were looking at me, paranoid, agoraphobic, lived in the house like it was prison a pure hermit, had to get girlfriend to cut my lawns, afraid neighbours were looking at me and judging me, pure panic and low self esteem, if someone emotionally or physically hurt me i would explode with rage and really do damage to them, scratching my head till i was leaving bald pathches and biting my nails till there was nothing left, self harm to escape the emotional pain."


"Almost completed Rx,6tablets to go of 12 weeks.Occasionally l have a burst of energy but effect so subtle probably imagination .Very few side effects but headache related to an increased BP,mood very flat at about 8 weeks into Rx,Mitraxepam prescribed took 1at night which helped ,will cease these next week.BP meds also increased which lowered BP this doing away with headache. How blessed are we in having a Govt that cares to allow us a cure for free"


"I had a very pungent odor and was diagnosed with BV. I was a little skeptical about clindesse because oral clindamycin and me do not agree. However, I inserted the clindesse before bed and the next day the odor was not existent. I haven't had any side effects so I'm a fan or this product. If you don't have insurance, it can be a bit pricey. So just go online and print or download the coupon card."


"This is amazing. Never had sores until in my 20's and the first outbreak and several after that were horrifying...entire top and bottom lip covered in enormous sores at least ten on top and ten on bottom. I couldn't eat or drink unless from a straw it was that bad.I couldn't leave the house or people stared like I was a monster. Got an rx for valtrex and if I feel the tingle I take 2 pills then another 2 pills 8/12 hrs later I forget which it is, and I immediately dab abreva on (always with tissue I never directly touch the sore) and continue to apply it every few hrs as it states on package. Usually they may look like a tiny pimple and thats as big as they get then they just disappear. Valtrex alone doesn't help me I need abreva too. Great stuff!"


"I had my Implanon for a year now and I love it. I spot here and there I haven't had a real period. I have gained some weight but I rather gain some weight then have another baby. I recommend this birth control to pretty much anyone."


"I have been on this pill for a year now. I went a while without a period just constant spotting. Well, I can't tell if it's an extremely light period or just spotting. It's not enough blood for a tampon or pad but a liner. I hate it bc if I do want to have sex, I have to act like I have to pee right before just to make sure I'm not bleeding. I'm on my last pack & then I'm done with it. I also was on this pill due to high bp & horrible periods. I'll take my risks at not taking this anymore!"


"I'm feeling terrible.  I have been for several tests but no luck"


"After I started taking this I was glued to this web site reading everybody's positive feedback to give me hope. I had been on it a couple years ago and it worked very well but stopped as life improved with little side effects. A couple years went by and life took a turn for the worse. Going from being very comfortable financially to almost homeless and loosing everything I had including my wife I went to get help. I can not explain in words how horrible I felt. I was in such a dark place this time I had my doubts it would work but it has. I am starting to feel better after a week and a half and hope it continues. I have tried many different anti-depressants mentioned here and none of them worked. Cymbalta saved my life!"


"I have excema that will randomly occur only on my palm, fingers or toes.  I fought with it for years and never found any relief until I went to the dermatologist and he prescribed Clobetasol Propionate.  I apply a thin layer at bedtime during outbreaks and my symptoms are gone overnight if I apply the medicine in time.  If not then it takes a couple of days but this is the only medication I've found that relieves my symptoms!"


"Hi I was on cymbalta for 6 weeks  gained 17 lbs.  I started back to Effexor. Have lost 4 lbs in a week of coming off cymbalta and going back on Effexor. Cymbalta made me retain fluid. I was miserable on cymbalta.  Rheumatologist wanted me to try cymbalta so I gave it a try for fibromyalgia    I went through a little electric feeling for about 3 days coming off cymbalta. Can anyone tell me what else is good to take for the fibromyalgia pain. Effexor seems to help some , but still having some pain."


"I was on the pill for 6 months, and this was my first time taking birth control pills. For the first month or two, I found myself feeling nauseated quite often, but I suppose that was just my body getting used to it. And for the first month, I spotted for 1 day and I didn't have my period for the whole time I was on the pill. Before taking birth control, I often got severe menstrual cramps, but with no periods on the pill, I had no cramps at all. One bad side effect was the feeling of being bloated..ALL THE TIME. I also had some weight gain as well, probably about 7-10 pounds in 6 months. I got off the pill a month ago and my periods have started again so I'm sure it was the pill that caused my lack of menstruation."


"I never slept throughout the whole night. I asked my Dr if there was anything I could do, I was irritated about everything everyday due to lack of sleep. Luckily my Dr. prescribed the medication to me. Now I sleep peacefully through the WHOLE night."


"After spending a co-pay of $65 on this medicine, I couldn't even keep 1 pill down! Soooo disappointed because I felt awful from the flu and I spent so much money on this medicine, yet it would instantly cause me to feel nauseous eventually leading to vomiting."


"I have been on Januvia for 6 months. My sugar levels are great. No side effects. It makes me feel not hungry. I was taking Amaryl once a day and metformin twice a day, plus Diovan for blood pressure. Now I am only on Januvia. I started going to the gym and eating healthier, I now have lost 60 lbs. Personally it is the best medicine I have found."


"Only been taking Orsythia for under a month and it was perfect at first but towards the end of the first month my stomach always hurts, like it feels like it's bubbly or you could say hungry. Loss of appetite as well, eat half my food and then feel like throwing up. I hope these are the only problems I have or I will switch to a different one."


"I starting taking this birth control because it allowed you to still have a period every month. Previously, I had been on a BC that only allowed a period every 2 months and I don't think my body liked that. However, I stop taking Generess and got an IUD. After I stopped using Generes, I have had the worst cystic acne on my face and body. I have been off of the pill for over a year and I still have terrible acne problems. It has gotten better over time, but it is still bad. I wish I would of never been prescribed this pill."


"My son has been using this drug for about a month. He has had no side effects at all. His face has cleared up well from what it was. The acne hasn't totally gone but it's less severe now and not as red as it was."


"I give it a six because you don't have to worry about it and it's good for three years, quick and painless procedure, not getting pregnant, it's pretty beneficial for a person with a hectic lifestyle.
However, I instantly became depressed more than usual. I can tell I've lost some energy but nothing drastic. I haven't gained that much weight but I also haven't been on it more than a few months. I've also been constantly spotting which doesn't bother me that much because it doesn't get everywhere. I just coexist with the mild blood, I would probably recommend this to another female but just warn her about the crappy mood swings."


"At first, I had horrible sickness with the tablets. I started them the day I got them because my doctor insisted I did so my pneumonia didn't get worse and the first two days were awful. I had the urge to be sick about ten minutes after taking the tablet and it would last mostly all day/night. I couldn't keep my food down so I lived off water, and then the sickness wore off and I was fine for the rest of the time taking them. My pneumonia has cleared up quite well and to be honest, the tablets smelt great and didn't taste all that bad. They have a lemon sherbet smell and taste to them. I did also experience a dry mouth and a nasty taste in my mouth a while after taking them, especially in the morning after sleeping."


"I have been a chronic combination binge/maintenance drinker since I was about 20. I have quit drinking many times for a few weeks, and even six months on two occasions. But nothing, including AA and Campral, worked to keep me away from alcohol.  After five years of asking my wary doctor to prescribe Antabuse, he finally did.  I have been taking it for two weeks, every morning when my head is clear and logical thinking is in top working order.  That is the key for me, because later in the day is when I would normally start to entertain the idea of drinking, as a "reward".  I have had no side effects, and am going to continue taking Antabuse.  It simply removes the option to drink, at least for people who are not self destructive."


"Well I have been on Victoza for 6 weeks and estimate a weight loss of about 20 pounds maybe a little less.  I did not even know this was really for weight loss and that was why the doctor gave it to me.  But hey its working.  I don't have a goal except to wear a pair of Men Speedo Bikini Swim suit.   I know sounds funny but If I can get to 250 and with my height I will look good in them.  My trip to Asia with the wife is in November so wish me luck.  Oh and it is helping my A1C"


"Very effective, no drowsy, no dizziness, no body itching."


"I have been treated for depression for 15 years. Went through all the SSRIs and SNRIs. Finally got a new doctor and went back to the old-fashioned MAOI antidepressent parnate. This is a miracle drug that has given me energy that I have not had for 10 years. But I cannot sleep for more than 4 hours a night, compared to 14 hours on the old medicines. Ambien is successfully treating this side effect of parnate."


"I take Lyrica since 2007 and managed to lower the dosage to 100mg. It's what allows me to live a normal life. I associate the mood changes and somnolency to the amount of pain I feel more than to the drug it self. Fortunately I can get it cheaper then in the beginning. I hope the generic comes soon!"


"Seemed to work okay for me."


"I am 19 years old an have been on Jolessa for a little over seven months now. I have had no problems with this contraceptive, except for the obvious when being on an antibiotic I had spotting. I have always had headaches and migraines growing up which is also a side effect to this contraceptive, they go away easily if I just drink plenty of water when I take the pill. I get most of the side effects which are exactly like my usual period symptoms and they only happen the week before or week during my period. Which is exactly how it was before I was on Jolessa. I was put on this because of over heating, severe cramps, heavy bleeding and shaking from my periods. I have none of these side effects except heavy bleeding, other than that all good"


"I have been on Contrave for two weeks, and am down 12lbs. It has absolutely taken away my cravings for fatty food, and also that glass of wine I craved after work each night! The only side effect I have had is constipation, but taking a stool softener has helped that a lot. This is the only medication I have ever taken that has actually done what the description says it should. I couldn't be happier with my results so far. It is a little pricey, but to find something that actually helps in my weight loss battle, it is worth it to me to cut back in other areas."


"I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and after 6 years of taking this drug my last bone density showed no osteoporosis!"


"I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, major depression, and panic/anxiety attacks. I have had PTSD most of my life I just didn't know what it was. I have been in and out of therapy for 15 years now. My psychiatrist has put me on all kinds of combinations of medications. Right now I am on 40 mg of Celexa once a day and 2mg of clonazepam 4x a day. I have been on Lorazepam and Ativan but they only work a few days. I was on Xanax for many years and it worked great, my dosage kept going up, I was taking 2 mg 4x a day and still had anxiety attack. I am now on clonazepam and have been for most of the last 12 years. Occasionally they will stop working and I am put on Xanax after 2 months they stop working and I am put on clonazepam again and they work again. "


"The Doctor gave me Nubain when I was in labor with my second child. It worked so good I slept through contractions that were off the chart. I had a pain free labor thanks to Nubain."


"I got my first implant in January 2014 and it's definitely effective as a birth control. I can definitely say I did gain weight but it's a combination of becoming less active and metabolism slowing down with the birth control. The only downside for me was that I bled for 2 months straight after I got it. Not crazy heavy bleeding. More like the lighter end of a period. Then then they just stopped which was actually what I was going for. I got it more for the reason of hopefully stopping my normal period which was usually about 8-12 days every month, very heavy, with cramps so bad I'd usually have to sit in a hot bath for an hour to help. My normal periods actually caused iron deficiency. Not everyone has a bad experience with Nexplanon."


"I was happy with this birth control at first. I liked the thought of not getting my period when it went away after my second shot but 3 years later it has been making me gain 10 lbs per year I was about 130 when I started it I am now almost 200 and the longer I have been on it the more if an increase in pounds per year I am noticing. Its been decreasing my sex drive lately and  also occasionally makes me moody"


"This is my third month on this pill and so far it's really good. I have not experienced an bad acne or weight gain. My periods are much less painful I don't have to take any painkillers during my period now! (Sometimes I took 2-4 Aleve's a day to stop the pain). I haven't experienced any nausea or discomfort and I rarely have mood swings now."


"I have had Implanon for about a year now and at first yes, my body did have to get used to all the hormones. At first I was a little tired and cranky. But as time passed my body seemed to adjust. I spot every once in a while but its not bad with a panty liner. I also have not gained any weight with good eating habits and a little workout I am healthy and have lost ten pounds since being on the birth control. I agree it does make you a little cranky but that comes with all hormones. I agree with most others when I say Implanon was the right decision for me. But hey everyone's body reacts differently."


"Thank you for this medicine when chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting gets to its worst. It acts quickly and sedates me well. It is also good to have on hand when undergoing invasive medical procedures, I take about 90 minutes prior. Don't get hooked because it will stop working for you. If you need this for nausea, rely on it as a fallback medicine when Zofran does not work."


"Was prescribed Tylenol #3 after double tooth extractions. The pain was handled well. Dosage on the bottle was for every 6 hours, but was told. again by the dentist, that I could take it at 5 hour intervals if needed. Was only prescribed 14 pills for short term use only. Served it's purpose well. After 2 days, all that was left was soreness from the procedure, and that was handled with over the counter Aleve."


"Okay, I had a mild YI and almost didn't take this stuff because of the horrifying reviews. So, for three weeks, I tried probiotics, apple cider vinegar, a yeast cleanse supplement, oregano oil, coconut oil, and eliminating all sugar (even fruit). I definitely recommend this method for weight loss, but the YI remained. While contemplating sticking a clove of garlic...up there...I realized I was being ridiculous, and it was time for modern medicine.

Day 1: inserted the cream before bed and prayed that fire ants were not about to populate my nether region. I felt...a warm sensation?...for maybe ten minutes...then RELIEF! The next morning (upon standing up) resulted in a mass exodus of cottage cheese and medication from my nether region (sorry, if you're googling this, you've already seen worse), but zero discomfort.

Day 2: same - no warm sensation - just relief. Less of a dramatic morning stand-up, but a smaller yeast evacuation.

Day 3: no signs of YI

Day 4: no signs of YI - debating stopping the medication, but it is seven-day for a reason.

Day 5: YI is a thing of the past. What's yeast?

Day 6: taking the medication is now a superfluous yet instinctive part of my bedtime routine.

Day 7: FINALLY"


"I started this pill about a year ago. I was on a couple other birth control pills before. This pill made me gain a bunch of weight, frequent breast pain, and horrible cramps. My emotions are always out of control. I eat healthy and workout at least three days a week and shouldn't be gaining all of this weight. The bloating when on my period has gotten dramatically worse. I would recommend not taking this pill. I am in the process of getting a different pill."


"I got the Implanon on September 3 2010 and so far I have had mood swings like crazy and had my period for 1 1/2 weeks (normal for me is 3 days) and spotting for another week. My libido has been revved up. So far I think it is okay...but with the whole libido boost and the constant unprotected sex...wondering how likely I am to get pregnant."

"I have not had any problems with Sprintec and I have been on it for 3 years. I used to have horrible cramps that would last days. Once I started Sprintec all that stopped immediately. My periods are normal and I feel so much better. About a month ago I stopped taking Sprintec and we are relying on other forms of birth control. I have not had any side-effects from stopping the pill. I have had a great experience with this pill and especially for the cost I would highly recommend it."


"I was on Ritalin for years until my doctor put me on Vyvanse. Vyvanse kicks in 'quietly' and lasts longer."


"After reading many reviews I have to say I was very nervous to start Viibryd. I started on a day off from work. The first 3 days I had a slight headache and very slight GI issues. After taking Tylenol my headache was relieved. Definitely recommend taking with food. I just started week 2 at 20 mg. So far so good. No headache or GI upset. No interruption in sleep patterns so far. I feel very calm taking the medication. I will be excited to see what week 3 brings. My kids and husband thanks Viibryd already!"


"I have had restless legs syndrome for years. In the beginning it was a problem at bedtime. Over time it started everytime I was sitting for more than a few minutes. I couldn't do anything comfortably. Driving, reading the paper, going to a movie, flying, church, watching TV. Clonazepam has worked well!  At first it was perfect and then I started experiencing restless legs right after I took it at night. I still do usually, but it is not very intense and doesn't last long. The medication holds it off the rest of the time. Occasionally I'll have a mild attack while driving or something. It's not very often and not nearly the intensity it was before clonazepam."


"I have my first yeast infection and it was suggested to me that I take Monistat 7. I was told it was the best and would make sure that I didn't have it by the end, versus 1 and 3. I read reviews and was REALLY worried, but everyone that I talked to said that they didn't know anybody who has a problem. Well let me tell you what......I sure had a PROBLEM! After putting on the cream for the night I was writing in pain/itch. It was so bad I could feel myself wanting to cry. It was HORRID!!!! I told the people who suggested this to me and they had NEVER had that experience. We're thinking the formula changed. I'll be going to the Drs on Monday."


"We have a senior American Brittany Spaniel who suffered panic attacks.  We gave 1.0 mg alprazolam in morning and 1.5 mg in the evening. This controlled his controlled the attacks.  The dog has some motor function side effects at effective dosage that takes the form general clumsiness, however the serious panic attacks are very rare now."


"It makes me wake up with lock jaw."


"I was prescribed name brand Oramorph SR for chronic back pain. I was taking 130mg 3X a day, I had bad nausea, severe edema. Most disturbing was the odor emitted from my skin, breath, and from bowel movements.

I would rate the pain relief "so so" and the side effects where not worth the pain relief obtained. Just look out for the swelling of the feet and legs.

I guess this medication was not the right one for me, as with most pain medicines we need to use trial and error to see which medicine will work best, in any given patient.

Wishing you all a pain free day."


"To all the ladies reading the reviews and stressing out stop. This pill is very affective but stress will delay your period even more. Mine finally came today 9 days late. And I took the pill on day three after the 'accident'. I just kept stressing and stressing having parsley in tea and taking in lots of vitamin c and cinnamon paranoid. Reading reviews all day. The incident happened like 5 days before my period was supposed to start so this waiting game seemed like forever. My friends kept telling me to relax but I felt like I was going to die being 18 and all with overprotective parents. It was my first time and it didnt happened all the way but my friends told me about precum so I was terrified. Having bad cramps right now and bleedin:D"


"I've been on this pill for 10 years now and it's been great up until about a year ago.  I'm 33 year old now and have experianced depression and angry mood swings a week prior to my period. 1 week after my period I experiance increased libido, 2 weeks after I break out, then the cycle repeats all over again. I have never had acne, not even as a teen. I believe that my hormones are just changing due to aging and I will speak to my doctor about slightly increasing my estrogen level through a different pill."


"I am 18 years old got the Mirena about 4 weeks ago. When I first got it inserted it was very painful. After the next two weeks, I received my period at first, it was just spotting. Then my full blown period. On my period I experienced severe pain, heavy bleed and acne. Hopefully the pain goes away after my period ends."


"While this medication did take away my travel sickness, I had blurred vision all week and now severe blurred vision 3 days after removing the patch and I did wash my hands after applying each patch.  I was extremely thirsty the entire week, extreme dry mouth. Approximately 24 hours after removing the patch, I felt so dizzy and severely nauseous for 2 days.  I was vomiting the first of those 2 days.  I should have heeded everyone's warnings about this toxic medication!  I will never go near it again!!"


"Let's be perfectly clear on this: the condition designated as opioid-induced constipation (OIC) IS NOT a recognized medical condition, it is not in the PDR.

It is nomenclature that has been synthesized by AstraZeneca purely for marketing purposes and intended to be used to enhance selling points for their new pharmaceutical Movantik.

"


"Have been taking this for situational anxiety for many years. It worked to some degree but I would always feel depressed afterwards which was awful. Last year I used it daily up to 1.5mg while I was changing my anti-depressant. This was a huge mistake. I soon reached the tolerance and began to get rebound anxiety which started up every morning. I've been off of it for 10 weeks now and still suffering. This is really hard to come off of. My advise is don't take this more than once a week and that may be too much. My anxiety is so much worse because of lorazepam."


"I  was on antibiotics and after finishing the dose I noticed it started to give me a yeast infection. I used the Monistat 3 day insert right before bed. Within a few minutes hell hath fury on my vagina! It's like the devil clawed and shot flames in my vagina then doused it with alcohol. I was so miserable and itchy. I didn't sleep much and had to lay on my side all Sunday. Walking even hurt and it was still burning like hell all day long. I read the ingredients on the back and there's a few flammables in there no joke. I will never use this product again. whoever developed this must be a sadist. DO NOT USE!!!!!"


"People, be careful with Ambien. I was put on Ambien 10 mg back in late 2014, I recently stopped the medication told turkey. It's been a week since I quit, I have been having severe withdrawal. Nightmares, night sweats, and frequent urination are the most occurring symptoms I have been dealing with. Doctors seldom tell patients about drug withdrawals, which is why I am suffering from these problems. So, be careful before you take a new prescribed medication."


"I had to switch to Portia cuz that's my Insurance "generic" brand. Felt the "Usual" nausea & fatigue thought it was normal, until I have been having stomach pain on my left side like if I had air, more gassy, low sex drive (thought it was the summer heat but not that), tired and back pain. I feeI like a fatty mc fatty. Feeling worse and worse each time. So going to decide no longer birth control to clean my body out of toxins and if I get blessed with a baby bump then HEY its meant to be. :) Aside the fact it does help not having a baby. Which that is what is suppose to do. OBVIOUSLY"


"I started taking Sertraline I'd say a year ago. It seem to mellow out the depression and anxiety I was having. My doctor said we'd try it out for 6 months then ween off of it. Once I got off of it, my depression and anxiety came back. So I started back up. It really helps keep me motivated during the day. I'm currently taking 50mg a day. If I forget to take it, it's night and day!

I do feel like it wears off around 2:00 PM. I have to wait to talk to my doctor about taking a second dose in the afternoon. My only concern taking a dose in the afternoon will cause insomnia. Also, it's really killed my sex drive. I feel like I have to really force myself to want to have sex now. Has anyone else dealt with this problem, and how have you fixed it"


"This D2 saved my life; I was having so many problems with my digestive issues, acids, bloating, constipation, IBS, nausea and pass-out feelings, fatigue-anemia symptoms, etc.. and now everything is gone. At first I was worried about 50,000iu pill for being too strong, but please trust me, the first 24hrs of the very first pill was the best day of my life in 4 years; it was a good decision to take this pill and I recommend everyone to go for it. I am not an expert, but definitely there is a very good reason why our doctors prescribing D2 instead of over the counter D3 supplements, and I am enjoying it and thanking my doctor in my prayer every night."


"Been on it 20mg now for 3 months. Seems to be working. Got to be careful bending over and coming back up quickly, lightheadedness. Also the "lisinopril cough" is kind of annoying at times."


"This medication has virtually eliminated my 12 year old son's (almost daily) migraine headaches. He has had no significant side effects and it has greatly increased his quality of life and ability to succeed in school."


"I have only been using nuva ring for 5 days... I have not been sick in any way.. or had mood swings.. ive noticed I have alittle nore energy to get things done around the house. My sex drive I believe has increased a tiny bit... already was high but I haven't had sex yet since I have had it in due to my partners work schedule.  I do feel blowed everyday n I get pains in my stomach here and their like period cramps but nothing to intence. I so far do really like this birth control.. I hope it makes my period leas painful and... I haven't gained or loss any wieght or I have not braken out in acne or anything although I have never had that probelm.. so for now I would recommend it to anyone but if I do have problems I will change that rating!!"


"My 14 yr old son has been on Vimpat coupled with Keppra and although it is not recommended for children, it has given me peace of mind.  He has been seizure free for over two years.  Side effects appear to be minimal, he does have short term memory loss, like walking into the kitchen and forgetting why he came in there.  He especially forgets chores, but I don't know if it's because of the medicine or because he is just a typical lazy teenager."


"I take Nortriptyline 30 mg at bedtime for facial nerve pain brought on by shingles, Post Herpetic Neuralgia.  The medication helps to stop itching, gnawing pain and electrical firing.  The one drawback for me is the constant obsession with food, mostly carbohydrates.  I've gained weight and have negative sexual side effects, but hey,  I'm not in pain.  It would be nice if there was another medication that worked as well as this medication for the pain, but doesn't have the side-effects."


"Prescribed Lodine following Cortisone injections in knees and wrists. Within 1 week after taking Lodine 200mg b.i.d., began having neck pain, sensitivity on head and scalp and severe pain in shoulders and unable to raise arms.  Felt acutely ill. Severe pain, muscle wasting and extreme weight loss and ms. weakness. Swelling in left leg and pitting edema in left foot and right hand. After discontinuing the Lodine, the swelling went down. Even had  vascular scan while taking he Lodine.  Lodine almost killed me."


"No side effects whatsoever, and completely cleared the virus in 8 weeks."


"I had 2 different nexplanons in my arm thru a 4 year period. This is why I regret ever getting the nexaplanon.

1.) It made me have awful acne

2.) the hormonal changes made my hair thin and cause great hair loss.

3.) it made me a CRAZY BEEOTCH and very irrational.

4.) I would spot all the time

5.) I had scars in my arm from getting the first one removed.

6.) Made me gain a lot of weight.

7.) Made me depressed.

Its not worth it. at least for me."


"HORRID. Weight gain 130lb to 165lb, I'm 5'3. Night sweats. Ice cold hand and feet. Severe dizziness, blurred vision. Constipation. Diarrhea, nausea, headaches, rapid pounding heartbeats edema, achy legs that wake me up they hurt so bad. Can't concentrate or focus at work. Black out while driving. Felt like was going to faint at work."


"I've never been on birth control, but decided to try lilletta since our insurance covers it. I got it inserted 8 weeks after having my daughter. Sex was painful for both my husband and I. We had to get the strings cut and the iud fell out and had to do it again. I've been bleeding for almost 6 months now off and on. This birth control is very annoying"


"I have been on the patch for about four months now. My biggest complaint would be the weight gain and the acne. Previously I was on the pill and have tried the Nuvaring. The pill made me too nauseous and I forgot to take it all too often. The Nuvaring just didn't suit me. I love that I don't have to worry about this birth control but once a week. I will say that each time I change the patch I do have a day of nausea. I also have minor irritation of the skin wherever I place the patch. I itch pretty bad some days more than others. I find that putting it near my shoulder blades avoids any tugging on the clothing and the lint issue."


"I am a junior in high school who was just diagnosed with both severe ADD and ADHD. I go to a pretty good high school where I achieved around a 3.2 last year (generally get a 3.6 but last semester of my sophomore year I got like a 2.7). After I got on Vyvanse my GPA went up to around a 4.0 and I am in mostly honors and AP classes. Although I was always thought to be smart and nobody ever denied that, they would say I was lazy and unorganized and simply didn't apply myself. Now I get A's without effort, my teachers love me, I hardly have to pay attention, and I also have a love for school/my subjects that I didn't have before. I am now excited to go to school and function on a much higher level. I would most definitely recommend Vyvanse."


"My infections have not been simple cases of uncomplicated UTI, they progressed rapidly into Pyelonephritis. Levaquin should not be the 1st med prescribed for various UNcomplicated infections (think "Resistance") nor should providers refuse to prescribe it. I understand the FDA black box warning, I accept that risk. Problem is, we can literally "google" any drug and find every possible side effect to convince ourselves that the medication is to blame. Yes, Levaquin can be riskier (elderly, drug interactions, etc.) I've fortunately only had diarrhea (most antibiotics cause this-Google that) as a side effect. My doctor recommended taking probiotics along with an antibiotic, and it helps. Google that, too. Levaquin isn't evil."


"I am 22 years old and recently got married.  I am so glad that I waited until after the wedding to start Loestrin.  The side effects have been horrible.  I knew there were some possible negative effects, but I seem to be experiencing them all!  I have gained weight, am extremely tired all the time and cannot ever seem to get enough rest.  Also, I have absolutely NO motivation.  I have lost interest in everything, including my husband!  I have ZERO sex drive.  I am constantly depressed and have severe and uncontrollable mood swings.  "


"I am a 28 year old female diagnosed with Bipolar 1, Generalized Anxiety Disoder, Panic disorder and Agoraphobia. A little over a week of taking this medication in conjunction with Lamictal and a benzo (Xanax, Klonopin, or Valium depending upon doc's decision) I felt like a million bucks. I could leave the house. I had a normal sleep schedule. I had energy for the first time in a long time. It was a miracle for me. Stopped taking it and downward I went again. Restarting now and I couldn't be more excited. I will say it made me feel restless and that includes Restless Leg Syndrome types of feelings. But, I would rather be restless and functioning. You have to weigh the pros and cons --for me it is a PRO!"

"Its an awesome medicine. Gives pure relief in the systems internally. No side effects since I have been taking it."


"Lamictal has been working pretty good so far.  My only complaint is lately depression is creeping up on me, but this could be just part of the "winter blues."  On Lamictal, I am not emotionless; it just helps with the dramatic mood swings (I have Bipolar type 1).  I was given Lamictal as an option due to the fact that I requested a medicine that will not make me gain weight.  As I was told, I do notice Lamictal seems to be weight-neutral, which is a good thing.  I haven't been on Lamictal more than a few months yet, but I am hoping it continues doing its job."


"Soolantra is a  terrible cream, it make my smooth skin flare up , and lots of pimples at two side of my face, throw this cream into rubbish can."


"I got my Nexplanon in October 2013. My first period was normal 7 days very light. My second period was about 3 days real light. And my third was a week light as well then 2 weeks after I spotted for a week. Symptoms I have noticed is acne I've never had such oily hair and skin before, and also some weight gain. I love Nexplanon because I always forgot my pill. I would recommend every girl to get it."


"I just started taking this medication last night. I've tried Abilify, Risperdal, Geodon, Fanapt, Latuda, Loxitane and others as well as an array of Antidepressants and Antianxiety pills. It is very bitter, but I have to say I sleep GREAT now! I will try to put more on here as my treatment continues."


"I have taken plan b 3x this year so far, Feb-April, 1 each month (I know I'm stupid for not using protection) BUT it has worked every time!! I don't recommend taking it more than 2x in such a close timing as in doses because it DOES mess up your cycle. I took plan b in April and I have yet to have a period but I am not pregnant."


"I was put on a lot of meds for 9 years - I even overdosed on one wanting to die after 3 months. In the lock down ward they found out I had Dissociative Identity Disorder and put me on Effexor XR 150mg. I have been taking for 10 years now. In the beginning I felt like a zombie but then when it got into my system I was not raging on people and I have not lost time. I was going to sleep and waking up days or months later not know where I'd been or who I was with I had to give up my children so I would not hurt them. It doesn't matter if you are for or against this if you have a problem you should get help and let someone close to you know so they can watch if something changes."


"Omg. This medicine is scary. Had a very, very bad sinus infection. I was desperate for relief.  A day after taking this medicine, I felt a stiffness in my neck. Thought nothing of it, maybe I slept on it wrong? Switched pillows. Next night, worse. Three days in, could barely stand the pain in my neck. Then it hit me that the medicine was causing the muscle/tendon issue. Also, this medicine made me seriously feel out of it. I had to stop after 4 days. I'd rather deal with the sinus infection."


"I was diagnosed with PCOS about two years ago. I started on generic Yaz and Metformin at the same time. My cycle regulated and I lost about 50lbs in six months. I noticed a significant reduction in unwanted hair as well. I quit taking it for a while (life got busy, didn't refill it, moved half way across the country, new job, etc.) and I put nearly all of the weight back on. Needless to say, I've been back on Metformin for about two weeks and I've already lost six lbs."


"This drug has been marked incredible in my book. I went from going  to the bathroom once every 1-2 WEEKS to once every few days once I started taking Linzess how it's directed. I would take it with a full glass of water 30 mins before breakfast and would have a a am within the next morning or so. Well I have been trying something new which seems to be working much better. My wife and I usually eat dinner pretty late so we eat around 9:30-10 and then I chill for about an hour. I take a Linzess and go to bed. Each morning I have waken up to a BM after my alarm goes off at 6:00. It is a solid but very easy go. I am amazed and had to share just in case I can help someone else "


"It works great and also works excellent for bladder pain. I love it. I discovered this medicine while in South America. I had a urinary tract infection and Doctor prescribed it along with antibiotics. It was a life saver. In USA it is very expensive and Insurance would not cover it. I wish I could afford it. Too bad."


"I've been on two different pills, and after I had my son, I wanted to find something that lasted longer. Until I decided, my OB-GYN put me on the patch. I love how it's once a week. It's easy to remember. I've been on it for almost a year (in March). However, lately, every patch has started to leave big red squares where they used to be. The skin where the patches were is dry, red, and bumpy. Sometimes they burn, but mostly they itch. I moved and haven't gotten a new doctor, so I can't change it. Other than that, I have absolutely no sex drive- but I haven't had a sex drive since I had my son two years ago. So.. yeah. Haven't really gained weight with it. It's been great except for the red patches it's started to leave."


"On its effectiveness, I rate it a 10, because it will completely eradicate all your allergy symptoms. However, the undesirable side effects lower the rating to a 3. It will keep you up ALL NIGHT LONG. It also made me jittery and nervous, as if I'd drank a dozen cups of coffee. "


"This is the worst generic pill I have ever taken. My cycle was extremely heavy, I have gained five pounds in three days while on this pill which is very depressing. I have not been very happy on the pill during the month and a half I have been on it. I am switching back to an older pill I took."


"Insertion was a breeze, I didn't feel anything. First year went fine, besides the ridiculously heavy periods. But some side effects I had were; yeast infections, fatigue, weight gain, migraines, cramping, dizziness, nausea, racing heart, brain fog, hair loss, eye sensitivity, brain pressure, and brain shakes. They probably say little or no copper makes it to your bloodstream. But I believe plenty does, and when that happens, when your blood has enough copper in it, it can begin storing copper in your organs and tissues in your body, causing tons of bad side effects, while also not showing on a blood test that anything is wrong. I got this IUD taken out a few days ago and I feel like the old me again, with my side effects lessening each day."


"I have only been on it for about 6 days and already seen a incredible difference. I had a headache everyday for a year and a half and got bad migraine about 2-3 times a week. I have not had a migraine yet and my everyday headache has calm down. When I first started it did make me very drowsy but that went away as I got use to it"


"I have used Edex for over 3 years.
Very positive in that it almost never fails to give me a nice hard, durable erection within a few minutes with stimulation, maybe 2 "erection fails" in several hundred uses.  The injections are painless and very easy to get used to. cost per dose is very small.
Not so positive is that for about 2 years I have had a difficult time reaching orgasm and when I do it often is only after very hard, intense, prolonged stimulation, almost never through intercourse alone.
Mr Urologist insists that the orgasm issue is all in my head, that the medication is giving me the erection as it is supposed to, but that there must be some other issues involved."


"I've been on Zanaflex for over a month now and all I can say is it really makes me sleep well. I take pain medicines for chronic low back pain and also take sleep medicines to make me sleep because the pain gets worse at night keeping me up. I wasn't happy when they gave me this instead of Soma, because I had great results with Soma. Now I can say I'm glad I did go on this medicine. I take 2 about 45 minutes before I want to turn in for the night.  My spasms are relieved and I can sleep through most of the night and wake without any hangover effects. I'm glad I have this now."


"I have found that since taking Caduet there has been a big improvement in my cholesterol level and blood pressure."


"I've had the copper IUD for only 4 days and want to share my experience with insertion. I too made the mistake of believing the reviews about how horrible it was supposed to be. I was nervous and anticipated a lot of pain. But it really was not that bad. The pain felt like a strong cramp and lasted for about 3 seconds. It only hurt when the clinician measured my uterus, the insertion of the copper iud wasn't bad itself. She did it wrong the first try so she took it out and put a new one it. It was painless! However for a few minutes after I felt dizzy and nauseous. They let me lay there for a while and gave me Midol. Cramping and spotting lasted for 2 days now I don't feel it. Just random small cramps but that's all."


"I have just experienced the worse night of my life due to 10 mg Belsorma. I read reviews, thought they had to be exaggerated..this medicine should not have been approved. Horrific hallucinations/nightmares.. Didn't know if I was awake or asleep . Terrifying. If you are contemplating using this drug, do not do it!!"


"I'm a 52 yr old male with a weak left Sacroiliac joint and often get a nerve pinch (L5L6) that's cause shooting pain down my leg or difficulty standing up straight. I take Celebrex for 2-4 days and it clears right up. It's been amazing for me."


"I had great results for the first several months. I now have been injecting for a year now, and I do have several spots that will not clear up and have even gotten worse. On the other hand a lot has cleared up. "


"The jury is still out on Kyleena. Insertion day was 1 week ago. It was horrible!!! I took a Tramadol pain pill 45 min before insertion and I could still feel the pressure. I became nauseated 1 hr after insertion. I spent the next 4 hrs rolling in bed calling on the Lord to stop the pain. I vomited 4 times in a row after emptying everything out of my colon. Then I slept 3 hrs. Oh, I have bled everyday sense insertion!!!!"


"As most pointed out here, pretty much useless.  Had hoped for a new thing since I've had insomnia (actually, shifted phase sleep rhythm), for most my life.  So for now, though it's losings it's effect due to being on it for years, I'd highly recommend Lunesta.  (It's not perfect, but it does work, especially for double insomnia.) Also, a generic is now finally available (cheap and, just as important, it is the ONLY sleep med currently approved by the FDA for LONG TERM use!  Ambien is NOT."


"I took Methotrexate for 17 years.  Started with tablets but progressed to injections for less chance of side effects (and cheaper!).  Always felt tired and nauseous for a day after, which got worse and lasted longer over the years, so that instead of just folic acid, my rheum had me take leucovorin the day after (a stronger folic acid).  But 6 months ago I developed fatigue, malaise and chronic low grade fever despite normal blood tests; my rheum said he had seen that before in other patients taking Methotrexate and considered it a toxic reaction!  There is no literature on this reaction, but I got better once I stopped, so just be aware."


"I tried Ortho Tri-Cyclen about a year ago and had to stop the pill within a week due to the horrible symptoms. I decided to give birth control another shot and went on Loestrin 24 Fe in November of 2011. The side effects have been mild so I've remained on it since and plan to continue using it. I did have stomach discomfort, headaches and a few other symptoms that subsided within the first few weeks. In the beginning months, I would get my period if I did not take the pill literally at the same exact time everyday. If I was 5 minutes late, I could expect a present the next day. That was kind of annoying, but the periods were pretty light so it wasn't anything worth stopping the pill over. A few months ago, my periods have stopped altogether."


"If I could give this product a negative value I would. I had mild itching after switching my birth control. I figured it may be a yeast infection due to hormonal changes. I have a really tight schedule so I quickly stopped by Walgreens in the morning and picked up 1-day monistat. I inserted the ovule and 10 minutes after, I was at my my desk trying to figure out how to scratch or claw my vagina without my coworkers seeing me. I don't know if this product works but the itching increased immensely. I tried the cool wipes and itch cream with no relief. Wondering if I can call off sick for the rest of the day to nurse my vagina back to health "


"I started taking Pristiq about 5 weeks ago.  I was experiencing some nausea at first, but after about two weeks it faded.  About three weeks in I forgot to take the medicine for three days and completely plummetted into a dangerous pool of emotion.  I have been on one other medication, Celexa, and what I like what Pristiq is that I am still able to experience a wide range of emotions. When I was on Celexa I was a little bit numb to things and wasn't able to cry, at all.  With Prisiq I am more focused and I am happier."


"I can honestly say so far Stribild has saved me... On June 30th 2016 my counts were CD4 -73 Viral Load was 1.2 MILLION YES, 1.2 MILLION... I started Stribild on July 1st because the pharmacy had to overnight it . On July 28 I had another round of blood work, CD4 -300 and viral load 800... Yes In 28 days.. He expects me to be undetectable in my second month if not already. He actually is going to let me come back in 2 months now instead of the usual every month because he said this was astonishing. Hopefully Stribild continues to work for me!!"


"I got this in during a very stressful time, finished my 3rd year in college, bf of a few months went to europe for a couple months, started a new job, and training for soccer.  It has made me turn into a psycho bitch with crazy mood swings.  I was a couple weeks late on my period, but let me tell you 3 weeks later my period started and has been going on for 2.5 weeks.  Ive had crazy anxiety and severe depressed moods, lost a few pounds, socially limited myself, & lethargic."


"I'm physically fit however stress has raised my BP.  I'm approaching 50.  So far so good- day three, I have been calm when facing stressful situations.  My BP seems to range around but it will take two weeks to see how this effects me.  No fatigue symptoms.  No stomach cramps, normal bowel movements.  Did have some light dizziness but it's gone now.  (keep in mind you need to exercise) this stuff is supposed to lower your BP if your feeling fatigue.)"


"If you are a female suffering from cystic/hormonal acne- please give Aczone a try.

During my sophomore year of college I developed cystic acne on my jaw line. I felt miserable all the time, caking on so much makeup just to feel normal.

Aczone cleared up my skin in a week and is still clear a month later! However, I am still dealing with hyperpigmentation spots on my jaw/cheeks.

Best of luck to you!"


"I just started using the benzoyl peroxide gel and it is clearing up my skin and evening my skin tone, though around my chin area (most of my acne is here) is EXTREMELY dry. I barely use any of it, but it still burns, stings, and flakes. I hope it gets better."


"I was getting cavities along my gum line as well as a nasty taste in my mouth.  When I started taking Evoxac everything got better.  No more cavities, no more nasty taste.  I can swallow my food now without smearing it with mayonaise or other sauces.  It wears off at the same time every day so I know what time it is and reach for another Evoxac.  Of all the meds I take, I would never want to give this one up.  I feel awful without it as when I have surgeries and they won't let me have it at the hospital.  As soon as I am out the door, I grab my Evoxac and get relief."


"Tried some samples of Maxalt and while it got rid of my (minor in this case) migraine, I did experience a side effect that made me more than a bit nervous.  I experienced numbness in my left hand and arm.  My doctor told me to immediately stop using it.

I'm a bit saddened that I can't continue on Maxalt as it did get rid of my migraine and definitely worked better than Imitrex, but not worth the risk of the side effect I experienced."


"Started adipex 15mg once per day on 6/8/15, starting weight 214lbs. Weigh in on 6/22/15 was 203lbs. I'm satisfied with this medicine & I will continue to take it until I reach my weight goal. My dr advised me that I need to take it everyday for 3 weeks & then take a week off so that I don't become intolerant of it. Side effects are minimal.  Really thirsty & sometimes I dnt sleep too good."


"I had mine inserted on September 30th 2009. At first I thought finally I don't have to remember to take a pill. But a short time later I realized I don't like this birth control plan!  I would have a period for 15 days then off for 2/3 days then start again for another 15 days.  This lasted for SEVERAL Months.  My poor husband and I have suffered.  He said no wonder it's so effective your are always on your period, which leaves no time for us.  I have had no sex drive for about a year now.  As of 2 months ago I have had a period for 7 days then another 28 days later.  Implanon has not affected my skin or weight gain/loss or acne.  I still have clear skin and I'm back to my regular weight.  It has taken 1 year, but finally I'm starting to get back regular cycle."


"When I first got the implanon I didn't stop bleeding so my doctor gave me a medication for a few days to help. Well it's been over a year and I still bleed every other week. I've gained some weight too but my main issue is the bleeding. It's such an inconvenience and I cannot wait to take it out. As a form of birth control it's very effective and I would advise it to someone who doesn't practice safe sex"


"Very frustrates with non stop bleeding. Ruins my sheets and nice under wear. Kinda has a slight negitive impact kn my two year relationship. When my partner alwaysbhas to ask if im bleeding. Its gross and can never feel completley fresh."


"I have used Soma for a few months now as needed for muscular back pain and back spasms. I've tried other muscle relaxers, but this is by far the best I've tried.  I can't tell you how much this helps when my back starts acting up.  And there's just enough drowsiness to let you sleep pain free, yet not too much if it's in the middle of the day.  I highly recommend it."


"Had Skyla put in 8 weeks after having my second child. It was slightly painful, but just for a second. Then I almost passed out on my way home and had bad cramps and had to lie around for a couple hours. Fast forward to now, I got pregnant with the IUD in and while nursing! I had the Skyla removed yesterday and will never do it again."


"I take  10mg ambien, 3mg klonipin and 100mg of Seroquel.  Sleep pretty good most of the time.  A bit groggy in the morning but nothing a shot of coffee won't fix"


"Being acutely depressed to the point of suicidal, I was given Trazodone and have had no noticeable negative side effects. I am on a maintenance program due to post traumatic stress disorder and have been for 4 yrs."


"I Had unprotected sex the day after my period on July 1st.  Scared like crazy because I had a scare before that I made my boyfriend go to the store 12 hours later to get me plan B. (he didn't think I needed it but you never know ) I took it as soon as he bought it and had to wait a month for my next period. I kept thinking I was pregnant. But I got my period two days early and I'm currently still on my period. It's very heavy with a lot of back pain but I'm happy I got it. Thank you plan b!!"


"I was on Microgestin Fe 1/20 for almost two years, and that worked great for me. But I went to a new gyno and she changed my prescription to Sprintec because she said the microgestin was what was giving me headaches.
My first two months on sprintec were horrible. I had nausea every morning and my periods were just as heavy and I was still getting horrible, slap-your-grandma cramps. However, I'm going on my 5th month and the cramps have definitely been toned down, I still wake up with some nausea but it's not bad. I would like my periods to lighten up a lot more though.
I havent had any problems with my anxiety/depression worsening, weight gain, or acne."


"Not too bad, this is my second time taking the medication. The first time I was given lansoprazole, amoxicillin and METRONIDAZOLE which I had major side effects and after reading horror story reviews I stopped at day 5 of 7. Later found out it was the metronidazole that caused my horrible side effects.

Now I'm on the course again, but instead of metronidazole I was prescribed CLARITHROMYCIN which IS SO MUCH BETTER!!! Apart from the occasional nausea and metallic/bitter taste, I've had no other side effect and it's helped increase my appetite. I'm on day 4 of 7 now, and have high hopes for this drug. Will update after I finish the treatment."


"Prescribed 7 day treatment for UTI, (2x/day), of Ciprofloxacin 500mg, two months after 6 week course of BCG infusions for  bladder cancer. Only took 11 pills then stopped because of warnings of possible side effects. Then about two weeks after that, started to have pains in right side around right kidney area. Now this week my left side kidney area is aching. Dr. is out of town 'til Monday the 28th of Nov."


"Wow I've been reading these negative comments but I've had a great experience with this pill!! I'm 19 I was on the shot before this it was the worst thing that ever happened to me. But on this one my only side effects were mild headaches and I'm definetly mode emotional. Also I sleep a lot more. I haven't gained weight. I don't have spotting. It did clear my acne. My boobs feel bigger. But I also think I haven't had the negative effects because I've been taking these vitamins from super supplements they have folic acid calcium and all the vitamins the lady at planned parenthood said I would need and when I stopped taking the vitamins for 2 weeks I felt real shitty!!"


"Saved my life and made my life managable. So far superior to numerous SSRI's, SSNI's, off label gabapentim. serax, than any of the 10 other anti depressants I tried. Wasted 3 years of my life. May be addictive for addicts & alcohol abusers but if taken as prescribed I've had minimal side effects. I'm not dizzy, falling, etc."


"I just started taking the pill on July 23 and I weigh 178, today is July 26 and I now weigh 174.  If you have dry mouth try chewing sugar free gum as a singer I use that trick all the time to keep my mouth moist and it works. Please drink lots of water as well, but it makes the dry mouth not so bad.  I have a thyroid condition so I take that pill early in the morning and I make myself eat a piece of toast or something 30 minutes later and take the pill and I don't have a problem sleeping at night.  I walk every other day and I have a decrease in my appetite, but I still eat. Some people say that don't eat at all that is not healthy.  Oh and I don't drink or eat anything with caffeine so I won't have a problem sleeping at night with the meds"


"I have the late effects of polio (PPS) w/ SEVERE muscle spasms - am NOT anxious about anything (seems lorazepam is used more for anxiety).  My spasms draw toes calves thighs hands back muscles into knots & wake me up screaming w/ pain. My dose of 1- 0.5mg tab only gives no side effects, but it just doesn't work long enough, or isn't strong enough or, need to take more than twice/day; perhaps higher dosage, more frequent dose or different drug altogether wld work better or provide better relief"


"I only found out that my VERY long term boyfriend was cheating on me because he gave me chlamydia. I took the four 250mg pills in the doctors office yesterday around 3:30. At 4 pm I had SEVERE stomach cramping. I felt nauseous and thought that maybe it was just because I didn't eat enough before taking them. I had no appetitie but I managed to eat a little bit. I have constantly felt like I was going to have diarrhea but nothing or little comes out. Today is day two and I've had wierd blurred vision and dizziness and headache  along with more cramping and stomach pain. Still no appetite and I'm extremely sleepy. It hasn't helped chlamydia symptoms- still itching and discomfort and discharge. Hopefully something will give soon."


"Used to control inflammation from Psoriatic arthritis and spondylitis. Was switched from Celebrex which was giving me headaches, afternoon severe fatigue and a brain fog.  Mobic/meloxicam does not provide as much pain relief as the Celebrex but it definitely takes the edge off. It does not zap my energy and I can get many things done. I am not laying around anymore,  I almost seem ADD like.  I have some insomnia, where I wake up after about 5 hours of sleep.  Some days I do feel a little edgy and snappish, but overall this med is helping me function."


"Third colonoscopy for screening purposes, first time using Suprep.  The split dosing worked great -- drank first dose from 4:30 - 4:45 PM, one hour later the poop parade began, and went perhaps 5 times over the next two hours, color was brownish-yellow by the end of round one.  Drank second dose from 3:15 - 3:30 PM, liquid poop parade began 1/2 hour later, and was coming out clear yellow by 5:30 AM.  Dr. said the preparation was very good.  Suprep flavor is not bad -- I mixed it with ice water, drank it in three big gulps, chased with orange gatorade.  It's a little gross, but take your time and sip other palatable juices in between and you'll be fine."


"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've tried before some medications for migraine and they were not effective or with extreme side effects but this is ROCK, I love it, my migraine just disappears after taking one of it with 2 glasses of water after 30 minutes."


"I had psoriasis for 3 years before I tried Olux. At that time, I had a bald spot on my head and no skin on the back of my ears. (It was all raw and covered in pus). I used Olux for three days and my psoriasis cleared up for over a month. The only reason I stopped using it was my new insurance would not cover it. Olux is the ONLY medication that has helped me. I have tried a dozen other medicines and nothing has worked the same."


"I am 24 years old, I had to stay awake during the nights of the last week due to a university exam. four days after the exam is finished i can not sleep well because my bed time has changed. and i feel so tired during the day. last night at 2:45 am I took one (50 mg) Tab and after 30 - 40 min i slept deeply. At 9:00 am (after 6 hours) I woke up feeling little bit heavy and sleepy, so I went beck to sleep for another 2 hours. After that I woke up feeling fresh and energetic like if i had a good continous sleep through the night."


"Very effective in controlling OCD and associated panic disorder.  However, gained 70 lbs (not by changing eating habits, but it's as though it raised my metabolic "setpoint").  Decreased sex drive.  Despite the side effects, this medication has been a Godsend."


"I have been on this drug for 6 months and I must be in that % that is doesn't work well for.  I honestly feel like a guinea pig and I am going to stop taking this medicine.  For all who take it and it work,  I am happy for you."


"I've had the Nexplanon since July 2013. This birth control has been the worst experience. My hormones became crazy, I gained more that 50 pounds, and I get annoyed easily. I have been trying to take the implant off and sadly the new doctor can't feel it. I was sent to 4 different places for exams and nothing still can't pin point where the implant is not even because I have the scar it left when inserted. Here I sit today with a second scar to be since I was cut open today and the implant was no where to be seen. The expiration day is coming in fast.The doctor said he can't do anything until I loose the weight I gained when I got on it, for me that is impossible since nothing helps me loose weight from crazy hormones I have. Idk what to do?"


"I am allergic to codeine , hydrocodone and oxycodone. I have a very bad reaction to them all. This medicine being an opiate instead of a morphine base is much easier on me. If you have a reaction to codeine try this."


"This was the first hormonal birth control method I tried. I was nervous as I had read about all the horrible side effects of birth control pills. Well, I did experience some of them on this pill (mostly mood swings, nausea) but only for a few days. After that, it was a nearly perfect experience. The biggest benefit was that it regulated my period and made my cramps go away!! Amazing. Unfortunately I've started to get migraines with aura and therefore had to come off Lutera. Now I'm on the mini-pill and considering the implant. Ugh."


"I have been using Elmiron since February 2008. I love it. I think I did gain some weight but, who cares. I did not have as severe a case of interstitial cyctitis as some people but the medicine has sure been a blessing for me. I have just recently cut back on it because I believe I have leveled off with the symptoms. But just to be safe on that, I'll be seeing my Doctor to be sure. Don't want any flare ups. I've been able to eat again. I eat just about anything I always did. Mustard being my favorite. Thanks Elmiron for helping me. According to what I have read on interstitial cystitis mine is a mild case. I do hope Elmiron will help those with a severe case. I am so blessed and pray others will be after taking the medicine."


"Second time on Chantix after 3 yrs smoke free. This drug is literally a life saver, completely makes smoking seem disgusting, after a few days. Cravings disappear, and when you think your gonna enjoy one of your last... you put in out in mortification, due to the gross smell, and horrid taste. The nausea is a killer, along with an overall unpleasant feeling, and crankiness that lasts duration of Chantix use. The dreams are super vivid, borderline nightmares, but bearable. If these short term effects are what I have to endure for deciding to pick up a nasty habit, for the second time!!! So be it. Living to make sure there a lighter in the car... is not living. And it only takes me the starter pack to quit- 2 pack a weeker."


"I got nexplanon 12/2015 right after giving birth. I bleed lightly six to seven months after insertion. I haven't had a period since. Bloating, but no spotting. Nothing. I have had the mood swings but to me, that is expected when hormones are altered especially after pregnancy. I've GAINED weight 20 freaking pounds. (Could have been to postpartum depression too) Ugh! Other than that I think it is very effective."


"So... I hate this stuff.
This morning I took the second bottle. It stayed down for about 30 minutes before I projectile vomited all of it into the toilet (which is where it would have ended up anyways I guess). I called my doc and they said to just drink water for a while.
I hate nausea more than anything. I get kidney stones on a regular basis, and I would rather deal with screaming kidneys than nausea. So this was particularly awful for me. However if you don't mind an upset stomach for a couple hours then it might not be so bad. The taste is horrific but it is definitely effective in clearing out the colon.
My colonoscopy is in an hour. I bought a pizza and ice cream for when I get back to make myself feel better about this experience."


"No side effects, many more plus/up days than before.  Seems the longer I am on the Deplin in conjunction with my antidepressant, the better my moods and overall feeling gets."


"It's amazing but don't take 5 or 6 or 7 you will feel sick and stay up and not eat for a day or 2 but if you want a fun focus high go small like 2 or 3 then work your way up if you want to buy its not fun with a lot you start hearing thing and seeing things and you get scared easy but fun at the end did my college homework project and easays and other things I had to do for college got all done in that 24 hour period still up and feel hyper and awake but I know I'm going to crash very soon but the drug does it job 100% for me when I do 1 10mg or 2 10mg I do 2 for test the next day soo I know I'm up and ready for it"


"I have been on 225mg for four years and I've liked it for the lack of side effects. Now I think it isn't working well. I'm kind of worried about 300mg."


"Found that the pain I was experiencing was much too severe to be treated with tramodol."


"Our Son is 23 and put on 0.25 micrograms of Risperdal twice a day in September 2005, due to not being able to get a prescription for 0.25. we were splitting the 0.5 tablet in half. this was ok as the prescribed medication had a line in the middle.
Our son did seem to be calmer at first.
Our son was in a residential home during the week and returned home weekends.
After going to collect him a few  weeks ago, we were so shocked as he seemed all over the place, getting stuck saying one word, jerky movements of upper limbs. it was heart-breaking.
We then noticed the brand of Risperdal had changed and they were a dark red tablet. We then realised this tablet should have never been divided.
The GP  advised us to stop the medication."


"I've taken Aleve and Vicodin for my sciatica pain with limited results. Taking lorazepam completely rids me of my hip/leg/back pain which is wonderful! I still have to remind myself to be easy on my hip and not try and clean the whole house because my pain is gone. I half a 1mg tablet so it doesn't sedate me. My intent is to not be completely knocked out. I want to be productive and it allows me that luxury. I know it's not generally prescribed for pain like this, but it sure as hell works for mine. I've had no adverse side effects and it really helps me get through the day without constant pain."


"I've had a really good experience with Hysingla ER. I have had dibilitating Sacrio, SI Joint, sciatic nerve pain for 6 years. Tried chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage therapy, physical therapy, injections, electro shock therapy, and norco 10/325 4x per day for the last 4 years.  I did get some relief, but not enough to make my daily life enjoyable. It's been a struggle with pain daily. Especially with three small children.  Two months ago, my pain dr recommended Hysingla ER to me (as a last resort before surgery) and I decided to give it a shot. I started at 20mg, 4 weeks later 30mg, 4 weeks later 40mg.  I can't believe the difference of my life since starting Hysingla!! I can take long walks again! I can grocery shop again!"


"Blood sugar went from HbA1c of 10.5 to 7.5. And lost weight.  The previous medicine I was on caused me to gain 25 lbs, which I lost on this."


"I'm 46 and was diagnosed with ADHD 2 times when I was a kid but never took the medicine. My life's always felt out of control and emotional roller coaster. I tried Adderall first but it made me to jumpy. I switched to Dextroamphetamine and once I got past the first week and up to my 20 mg a day everything became so much easier to deal with in life. Less stress, better sleep at night and makes me feel "normal". Best medicine in the world but the cost is absolutely ridiculous as I have no insurance."


"I've been on Diovan HCT for about a year.  I had previously been on lisinopril HCT also for high blood pressure for about 2 years before that, but began having side effects, which disappeared as soon as I switched to Diovan HCT.  I haven't had any side effect issues with Diovan HCT other than rare lightheadedness when standing quickly which is not so intense as to cause any problem.  And the big improvement for me in Diovan is that my blood pressure measured at home is much more evenly controlled.  With lisinopril HCT my blood pressure would be high one day and low the next and the lightheadedness when standing quickly could be so intense that at times I felt close to blacking out. All in all, Diovan HCT is worth the higher cost to me over the generic lisinopril HCT."


"Went to Doctor's with very bad sore throat and cough. Was given Biaxin and it took two days for my throat to clear up but my throat was very bad. It seems to be working. I was given a cough medicine too, could not tell which one was making me tired."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I had been using the pill for 8 years.  I used the first version of this pill, yaz, then switched to b-yaz when it came out. I went about my life for a few years and then considered switching to Ashlyan which is just one period every 3 months. Well let me tell you having only one period every 3 months is MAGICAL. Unfortunately my acne went full force, 6 months into the new pill my entire face was broken out. I was using the strong topical prescription available & still just getting worse. I was at my lowest when I realized the problem was probably the pill. I spoke with my doc & we decided I could switch back to b-yaz and just get 2 extra packs a year and still get only 1 period every 3 months. 1 month into b-yaz & My face is clear again!"


"I tried this before I got prescribed it, it worked so well for my tension headaches. For my tension migraines I do take fioricet, and promethazine for the related nausea from other medicines. Today at my pain management appointment I brought up the good experience and the doctor said it would work wonders as long as I take it only occasionally. She said she fully supports Flexeril for migraines and said that she wants me to try it on prescription and see how much they’ll improve. Since it’s not a long term use type of medication I will only use it when the migraines are crippling and debilitating. I’m happy that I don’t need opiates for my migraines and use them for my chronic pain illness only!"


"I was on Enbrel  for about 3 years.  The only good thing was it cleared my psorasis which was horrible, especially  on my scalp, but also on my elbows, waist, legs,etc. I statred to have allergic reactions, and once a t the end had anaphylaxis . Shortness of breath and other symptoms  also encouraged me to try Otezla.  I am sorry to report that my psorasis  immediately  returned with a vengence, my scalp is covered with tight painful scales itches, burns,is embarrassing  and also is on my elbows and they Crack bleed, hurt . .. but, since I started   Otezla, I have been on 4 rounds  of  antibiotics  for URI's, sinus, pneumonia, had terrible diarrhe ,  swollen glands.  I have to go to my Dermatologist  next week  and am asking for  Cosyntex.."


"Took 1 dose and landed in the hospital with severe pain."


"I've been taking since last year and my obsessive compulsive disorder is treated with almost no side effects. I avoid alcohol since I started."


"27 year old suffering from adult acne. I've been under Accutane twice in the past for 6 months each but relapsed both the times. So this time I was prescribed Epiduo. I didn't get any redness or itching but my acne got 10x worse. My acne is usually concentrated in the cheeks but after epiduo I got newer ones in the jawline and forehead as well. The purge stage lasted for around 2 months but I stuck with it and now I'm acne free and only left with scarring. I don't apply it all over the face, only in the acne prone areas and I've noticed the scars have also started fading gradually. Happy with this product so far."


"I FINALLY got Nexplanon removed today after almost 2 years. I would NOT recommend this to ANYONE. I wouldn't even know if it was an effective form of birth control because my period never stopped long enough for me to have sex! I somehow avoided the weight gain, but would have taken that over the bleeding and depression. My son is almost 2 now and over the last few months, I have been having trouble even barely getting out of bed, much less play with him. I felt like a terrible mom so I would cry myself to sleep each night and my whole life was falling apart. Oh, and good luck finding someone to remove this junk if you moved or no longer have the same doctor! A lot of doctors refuse to even carry it."


"Got my Paraguard a little over a month ago.

Insertion lasted less than 30 seconds. It was mostly uncomfortable, not painful, instant cramps. Bearable with Advil.

Spotted and had cramps for a month afterwards, again bearable with Advil (and yes, I had sex, spotting wasn't heavy at all, I'm talking like the lightest panty liner ever.)

First period was light and short. It was actually better than my regular period.

No more spotting and cramps after first period.

Second period, NO CRAMPS, even lighter, even shorter.

I forget I have it.

Not pregnant. Sex is rad. No harmones. Going in for a follow up in a few weeks.

Loving life and loving my  Paraguard, I even convinced my friend to get one and get off the pill."


"I said to myself I would write a review if it worked and here I am! Boyfriend and I had sexual intercourse on a Tuesday. We did not realize the condom broke but thankfully we found out before he "exploded," per say. We immediately went to a pharmacy store and bought the $50 pill. I took the pill 8-10 hours later from the incident. I experienced cramps and nausea. Cramps began 3rd day lasted till about 5th day. Nausea only happened at night in bed. I was worried I wasn't going to be getting my period that one week later because I am irregular. I have not received my period for about 6-8 months so I was thinking it may not work for me. BUT! Thankfully it did! 9 days later, I got my period and ended at 6 days. It really does work!"


"I was on 40mg of citalopram which was working a treat but wasn't sleeping so I was given mirtazapine 15mg. I've been on them less than 2 weeks now and the change in myself is simply terrible. The first couple of nights I got an amazing sleep but found it hard to get up in the morning but things have just gone from bad to worse, I have bad anxiety, can't sleep, feel like a walking zombie, dizziness is terrible, crazy dreams/mares, compulsive sweating, itching/burning sensations and the worst for me is my anger it's unexplainable I can fly of the handle for someone looking at me. This drug might work for some people but I'd say avoid at all costs I've never felt so unhappy and down right miserable."
