"I have been on Zoloft for 18 months now and I LOVE it.  I first went on it for some postpartum depression paired with several other major situations that were going on in my life.  After the first few days I felt like I could deal with my life, like this was something I always should have been on.  I have always dealt with bouts of depression and anxiety but was never put on any medication but I should have been. I will continue this Zoloft as long as my doctor will allow."


"This medicine has worked well for me. I love it, except that I get really hyper."


"I switched to this pill about 7-8 months ago and it has been hell ever since. I became very depressed, anxiety was heightened, exhausted all the time, no motivation/energy, did not get out of bed, became very negative and angry, and had no libido. I would sleep for 12 hours and still be tired and take naps during the day. This affected my relationship and my boyfriend ended up leaving me due to my depression. I have now quit the birth control and I feel like a brand new person and back to my old self. Ladies, if you're having these side effects and it's affecting your relationship with your significant other, family, or friends.. do not wait it out!!!! I wish I could go back and quit the pill a longggg time ago!"


"I've taken dulcolax on two occasions.

First time was last year in cyprus, i was suffering bad constipation for days i'd taken senokot and nothing was helping. I went to the pharmacy and the lady recommended dulcolax. I took 3 tablets on her recommendedation. Within an hour and a half i was on the toilet. No awful cramps just great bowel movement and i felt fantastic afterwards.

I haven't needed dulcolax again until tonight. I've been suffering from constipation again this week. I took two tablets at around 7pm. Because of the constipation I haven't been able to eat properly yesterday and today. Around 7.45 i could feel slight cramps and the urge to use the toilet which i just have. Feeling much better now but i have a slight headache."


"I was on Solodyn for 5 years. I am now 19 years old and just quit about 8 months ago. It made my skin FLAWLESS and got compliments all the time. Never any noticeable side affects, although I did quit because I was afraid it was killing my liver and being on an antibiotic for that long is dangerous. Also, the last 6 months I noticed my breakouts were no longer controlled, as if my body was becoming immune to the drug. Now being off it my skin is worse than ever with many, many cysts. Going back to the derm to hopefully find something else that perhaps is not as hurtful to the body (I can dream lol), overall a great experience with it, it just made me sick thinking of what it was damaging internally to my body. Best of luck!"


"My neurolgist just discovered I had seizures about a month ago and it has been constant trial and error finding a medication that will work. I was taking 600mg of Tegretol for the last week and I developed a awful red rash and itching all over. My doctor has changed me to dilantin today and I hope I do better on that. Keppra was the first drug and that didn't help."


"Didn'T even come close to aleiviating the intense pain from root planing and transplant."


"My husband suffers from neuropathy and his Dr put him on Lyrica 75mg twice a day. The side effects were horrible, he had to stop taking it immediately. He was dizzy, had headaches, off balance, couldn't judge distance, and it looked to him like the walls and floors were moving."


"Experienced bad side effects.  Dizzy, sick, blurred vision and dry mouth."


"This is the only drug that has helped me.  If I take it right at the beginning of a headache, 90% of the time it wipes out the pain in an hour."


"My 83-yr old father took only five (5) pills over the course of a few days and ended up in the hospital in acute renal failure and 103 degree fever.  This man was not on any medications prior to taking Bactrim DS and was still working.  His kidney functions have not returned to normal, his blood platelets are critically low, his blood pressure is now elevated, as well as his blood glucose.  His whole life has changed for the worse all because of five (5) Bactrim pills.  I just hope he's on the road to recovery."


"I was diagnosed with indeterminate UC in February 2017. Since then I am taking Asacol 800mg 3 tablets a day. I am not sure, but I think that the flaking rashes on my face are due to the this medicine's side effect. And they hardly ever to disappear. And when they do, I have them back after a few days. I was prescribed different products, none of them worked. Never had this issue before, only after I have started taking Asacol."


"Was on lexapro 10 mg for 3 months then 15mg for 2 month. Lexapro reached a point of not working.  Switched to 20mg Prozac. No twitching or headaches or sick stomach. Find appetite has increased."


"My partner and I both contracted chlamydia and have taken 2 pills at the same time (prescribed by the doctor) I found 3 hours after having mine I felt intently sick and had an urgent need for the bath room for the runs. Feeling fine now a day later symptoms have passed feeling positive that is will work."


"I wish I would have read these reviews before using this. Oh my goodness . Worst experience of my life thus far. I'm not sure what the results are but After sitting in the shower for 20mins it still burns.... Never again"


"Initially, I had no appetite at all and also no appetite for wine.  Wine actually didn't taste good.  My side affect was a headache... constant.  I also didn't feel like myself.  Not depressed, but certainly not my normal self.  Within the first week or so, I lost 7 pounds.  I wasn't obese, but needed to lose 20 or so pounds.  After the first month, I had dropped 10 pounds and felt completely normal and full of energy.  I have now been on contrave since August and have lost 24 pounds and feel fabulous.  I also started blue apron which is a very healthy meal plan.  I absolutely watch what I eat, but if I want pasta LOVE PASTA), I have it.  I just make sure not to have it again for the next week or so.  I work out but only 1-2 times per week."


"Took it around 6:30am before leaving for work. Experienced Terrible insomnia even though I took it early in the morning. Couldn't stay asleep more than three or four hours. Awful stomach pain and loss of appetite. Some itching. Weakness and dizziness when standing too quickly. Dry mouth so I'm constantly drinking water. Unfortunately the other OTC medicines didn't work as well as this product. I'm in a lose-lose situation."


"I've been using this for about 3 weeks now and at first there was a lot of peeling. And one day I think I used too much and my cheecks became inflamed and irritated. It looked like I had a really bad sun burn in the fall. As of right now this gel has only made my skin worst. I have dark marks on my cheeks and in the corner of my mouth. I look horrible! These reviews say to keep going and be patient. But if I don't see results soon I will be forced to stop."


"Seem to work very well.  I have had a sinus infection for over a week and was feeling miserable.  I started taking Augmentin yesterday and today I already feel 90% better! Yay! I think it is very important to take a high potency good bacteria pill (forgetting right now what they are called!)  Very pleased with this perscription"


"I had unprotected sex right on the day of ovulation. I mean dead smack on when I was fertile. I took the pill 2 hours later and had NO SYMPTOMS whatsoever. I had to wait a whole 2 weeks for my period to come and I was afraid the pill wasn't going to work since I was really fertile. But 2 weeks later, on the EXACT day I was supposed to get my period, I got it! So this pill works! Phew! Relieved!"


"I was facing several months of on and of depression since being forced to move. I had and have no one to communicate with anymore. The loneliness made me realize how empty my life is and see no purpose in anything. I lost all motivation. The greater issue was that I was starting to feel like this everyday and started pondering suicide. I decided ro try Tramadol since it was available to me. I took 100 mg to test it and I felt normal again (able to feel pleasure and then some).  The experience was amazing and it gave my social confidence I was lacking. As the Tramadol wore off I was able to speak in a debate group without issue (I usually get nervous and lose track) and it was noticed. I alI'v"


"Caused the eye to burn afterwards."


"For the past 3 years I have been dealing with nerve pain left from shingles in my neck. I have tried EVERYTHING for this pain including injections and narcotics. Nothing really helped unless I was a zombie. I am allergic to a lot of medications including Tegretol and Neurontin. So when my neurologist suggested I try this medication I was VERY skeptical. I have been on this medicaton for a week now. I started on 25mg twice a day and felt some relief. I thought it was in my head. Now I am on 50mg twice a day and I can't believe the difference. I am relieved I can finally get my life back. I am a mother of 2. I did not realize how much the pain had taken over my life until now."


"I got sick the day after Christmas. Thought i was just having nausea, but it progressed to a very painful tummy and back so I went to the er with my husband a few days later. I had a kidney infection, so they put me on the generic for bactrim for 10 days. I felt no different till a few days in, and that's when I got some relief but also side effects such as persistant and constant nausea, and headaches. Wasn't too bad. Then I felt excited on my last day because I truly felt better (minus stomach cramps that I didn't think were serious at the time). But then less than 24 hours later I started feeling bad again with my back and tummy, so we went to the ER and they put me on the generic for macrobid. This is day one of that. We'll see how it g"


"I have tried 6 different birth controls and have been in Loestrin for almost 5 years now. I love it! It is true, for some women, you will not get a period. I rarely do and have never been pregnant. I never had any symptoms with this birth control and it really controls my extreme cramping! I would recommend this for everyone!"


"Took for 3 months and it took that long for the spotting to subside. The side effects I had with it aren't worth it for me. It killed my libido - took it from 100 to 0. Dried my lady parts out. It killed any sense of motivation I had. I used to go to the gym in the morning regularly and couldn't figure out why all of a sudden I no longer wanted to go. It made me nauseous at random times during the day. I had stomach issues bc of what was possibly an interaction with an antidepressant I take. I have stage 3 kidney disease and am on blood pressure meds and have never had an issue on other pills. This raised my bp from my normal 115/75 to 145/90, thus giving me a month long headache before I figured it out. Plus it's expensive."


"frequent bowel movements, later diarrea especially durning the morning hard to tell if it helped my seizures, as  I had 4 seizures in a 5 month period"


"Down 20lbs since Jan 5th!  No side effects except for my hair falling out more than normal"


"Really helped to control my GERD symptoms."


"Had mine for almost a year. I've had really bad side affects but my sex drive has gone up. I've had 4 pregnancy scares. I've been to the ER 3 times because I thought it broke in my arm. No period. But unusual spotting. I over all didn't really like it and wouldn't recommend it."


"I wanted to share my experience with Nexplanon. I got it inserted February 2014, after being on the pill for 3 years. I thought I would get rid of monthly cycles, but I was wrong. I had a little spotting for 2 weeks post insert and then nothing at all for 4 months. The 5th month and up until  today, my cycle starts with cramps, fatigue, and nausea like it would normally if I weren't on birth control and the bleeding is light and lasts about a week. This is quite annoying, but I'm glad it followed my usual cycle so I've actually gotten to the point where I'm used to it now. I haven't gotten pregnant, so I'd say the implant works! Figuring out what it will do to your body is the tough part."


"I have now been on Phentermine for a week. I have already lost 5 lbs. I need to lose another 20. I am not obese but am on two cholesterol medications. I always weighed the same until my thyroid medication was too low and I gained 20 lbs. I could not get it off no matter what I did...until Phentermine came into my life. I am experiencing none of the side effects except dry mouth. What I am experiencing though  is 1) higher energy; 2) better sleep; 3)a feeling of well being; 4) more focused; 5) less appetite; 6)more stamina. I am only on 15mg per day and feel wonderful."


"Have been on this for 6 weeks, and have to discontinue due to severe insomnia, heart pounding and chest pain. Very effectively reduced my need for albuterol (went from using it daily down to once or twice a week) but the side effects are bad."


"I've had Skyla for a month. Several of my friends, with and without children, have Mirena and almost everyone told me it was no big deal, a little cramping, etc. Let me tell you, it was the most painful experience of my life. I am not a wimp. My doctor had to clamp(!) my cervix and it hurt so bad upon insertion that I got immediately nauseous and almost fainted. The nurse held my hand and basically let me squeeze her to death the whole time. It took 10 minutes to insert. Afterwards I got the worst cramps of my life, and it took a full 24 hours for me to be able to recover. I've been spotting ever since. Cramps went away after a week. No crazy mood swings. No weight gain. No acne. I haven't had a period yet. Just lots of spotting."


"Very effective at managing my pain that stemmed from a spinal injury and subsequent spinal surgery.  It has been the only medicine that manages the pain after trying all the other non-narcotics as well as nerve pain medications."


"It only took 3 hours to start working. I was suddenly hit with what felt like strong sharp searing gas pains in my upper stomach. So much that I was hunched over and howling. I felt sweaty and nauseated. The pain lasted about 30-45 mins. I did have bowel movements as well. It has now been about five hours later and I am still going to the bathroom. Stomach feels very sore and I feel some what exhausted and just run down. I would not recommend this nor take it again for constipation. I am a normal 32 year old female."


"I initially used 150mg a day with no actual results in lowering BP. Doctor recomended combination with Felodipine 5mg and Metoprolol 50mg, and combination produced results in lowering my BP 115/75 avg. Side effects are tingling in the palm of my hands and excessive tiredness. I will test to discontinue ibersartan, which produces the unwanted side effects."


"I have been taking Effexor, 300 mg for 15 years and Lexapro, 40 mg for about eight.  I have tried to stop taking Effexor twice with horrible experiences each time.  My depression began to increase so the Dr. prescribed stopping Lexapro immediately and gradually decreasing Effexor and replacing it with Fetzima (first 40, now 80mg).  I was hesitant due to my prior experiences but the Dr. seemed confident.  After 12 weeks, today is my first day without any Effexor, only 80 mg of Fetzima.  I feel great; I had no negative side effects from the changes and notice definite improvement in my depression.  I believe the depression will continue to lift with time.  I am so relieved to finally be free of Effexor I believe Fetzima made it possible."


"Was having good results with no side effects for years until the drug companies wanted to produce it at a cheaper cost. Drugs are now mostly made in India and China.  I am extremely allergic to some of the inactive ingrediants. Stomach issues, body rash, swelling and bleeding skin around the eyes and leg pain.  I am now forced to use metformin in a liquid form that is made at a local compound pharmacy to avoid impurities at a cost of $70 a month for a twice daily dose."


"I got the mirena inserted in September of 2015 is already the end of the year one more day and I'll be 2016 and I'm still bleeding... Is this ever going to end!!!!!!!!! I'm just so annoyed by now when is this going to end."


"I've been on Brintellix for just over 2 months and it's helped my depression tremendously. I've been on several SSRIs and this is far and away the best one I've tried. It kicked in a little faster and the lack of side effects is remarkable. (I was irritable when I increased my dose from 5mg to 10mg, but it subsided after a month and I took Klonopin as needed to help. I also noticed some mild scalp tingling which another person mentioned.) No sexual side effects, no weight gain, no TMJ, no night sweats! I'd recommended titrating up SLOWLY if you have anxiety/irritability (cut those annoying egg-shaped pills in half) and taking it with a meal to prevent nausea."


"After taking on too many large life changes and adjustments and dealing with long term and recent grieving  issues, I was prescribed sertraline. Started at 25mgs and went up to 50 mgs. Worked very closely with a couple of psychiatrists. Also started a 7.5 mg dose of mirtazapine before bed to help with sleeping at the same time. Started having very vivid dreams all night long, not bad dreams just very vivid and felt lucid and aware during the dreaming. I slept well but remember too much of my dreams on waking. Sleep time felt too "active" and I found it distracting. One of the psychiatrists claimed it was the mirtazapine but the other one suggested that it was the sertraline (Zoloft) and reduced, then eliminated the sertraline. Right move."


"I just got my Nexplanon removed today.  I had it inserted approximately 4 and a half months ago.  For the first month, I didn't have a period, but once it came it never stopped. I literally have had a period for 3 and a half months and some days it was really intense.  While I've maybe had 10 zits my entire 30 years before Nexplanon, I probably had at least 2 pimples at all times since I got the implant.  I am getting an IUD in a couple weeks.  This SUCKED.  I gave it 2 starts cause I didn't get knocked up,"


"Zoloft has saved my life. I have been on Zoloft 200 mg for 7 months and the results have been amazing. I suffered from severe OCD, anxiety, and mind racing. Zoloft and Abilify 5 mg have completely eliminated my symptoms. I can now live and enjoy my life thanks to Zoloft 200 mg and Abilify 5 mg."


"I have been on Zoloft for a year and I can honestly say it changed my life. I had suffered with anxiety and panic attacks since I was in the first grade, and I hated my life. I felt cursed. I felt weird because of it. It got to a point of hopelessness and depression. I did counseling, exercise, journaling, all-natural vitamins, everything. Nothing helped. I didn't want to rely on medication to help me get through life, but after talking to my doctor, I decided I had to. My doctor put me on a low dosage of Zoloft and I can honestly say, I've never been more calm, focused, content, and determined. Zoloft helped me relax and deal with problems rationally. It changed my life for the better, and recommend it to any teenager who needs help."


"I have always suffered from having heavy periods, I have tried nuvaring a nothing happened I tried an iud and it slipped out during the first month. I went back to my dr, and she suggested seasonique but a generic brand.. I did and it worked for one month. Then I started to bleed heavier than I have ever bled before. I can't go out of the house for long periods of time because my flow is so heavy now I leak through a super tampon and an overnight pad  I have been this way for 15 days and my dr. Said I just have to wait it out. Iam not going to do that I stopped taking the pills and iam hoping this flow will slow down and stop sometime soon. I do not recommend this pill at all."


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


"Update. 32 weeks on Saxenda.  62 pounds. 4X to 2X shirt. 52 pants to 46 pants.  58 year old male. This has been the only medication that has ever worked for me.  I am doing a low carb/high protein diet.  Never hungry, which is really great.  Protein drinks in the morning and eat small meals all day long. Celery, pork rinds, rotisserie chicken, etc help quite a bit."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"This works. Fast. I did take a suggestion and add a packet of flavored drink powder but it was so foul, I'm not sure it made any difference. I struggled with nausea during the first liter, so for the second liter, I poured the swill into a chilled stainless steel measuring cup and slammed it. Gawds bless all of us who have to drink MoviPrep!"


"I absolutely love this birth control pill. I have a tubal ligation and I was prescribed birth control pills to help keep my cycles less painful and keep my cervix thin. I used to have very painful cycles to the point that I could not work on the 2nd day of my cycle. I was recently on the Junel birth control but I continued to spot for 5 months and that was sooooooooo aggravating. I was very hesitant about starting a new birth control because my body had to get used to another pill but my doctor told me I had to be on some type to keep my cervix thin. So I decided to follow her advice and it worked instantly. I had to continue to take my Junel and then start on Sprintec pills the following week.
This is a lifesaver and I finally feel great."


"Interestingly, my high blood pressure was discovered during my regular blood donations.  The intake staff recommended that I consult my doctor.

My doctor prescribed 2,5 mg ramiprilum (brand name: Tritace) once daily.  I have been taking it religiously for 5 years now.  Blood pressure is good.  No side effects.

The donation center now says that my blood can only be used for adults, not children."


"I am 35 year old male with moderate to severe sciatica (pain from buttock to ankle) due to bulging disc L5 - S1.  I found taking a 400mg dose gave significant but not total relief for about 2 to 3 hours.  The effect was greater if the pain was not too severe, the best results came from taking ibuprofen before the pain got severe.  I also found that taking Ibuprofen without food made it work faster but I suffered moderate diarrhea as a consequence."


"This was my first experience with birth control but I have to say I absolutely love it. I used to get horrible heavy periods in which I would go through at least seven super tampons a day with extreme cramping. Now my periods are light and unnoticeable. For the first couple of months I had bleeding in the middle of my cycle (very light, not even worth a pantyliner) but this went away as my body adjusted. I honestly feel like Lo has helped my mood swings (probably because I'm not in horrible pain for a week of every month) and I'm much happier with it. My sex drive was unaffected as well. Overall I absolutely love this birth control!!!"


"I started taking Zoloft when work stress and other issues got really bad. I had gone to a doctor for cognitive behavioral therapy previously to help with social anxiety, but it didn't seem to work. So I tried going on Zoloft per a GP suggestion. I first started on 50mg, and the side effects (super drowsy during the day, couldn't sleep at night, shakiness) were pretty awful for the first couple of weeks, but I stuck with it out of desperation. I am glad I did. My boyfriend says that he sees a huge change. And I don't feel so very, very awful about everything. I feel like I can see my circular negative thoughts now in a third-party point of view. It hasn't stopped my negative feelings, but it is helping me not to think about them over and over. Taking 100mg."


"All I can say is that I am quite pleased with this--sure hope this drop foot that I have is not related--but I still think I'll keep it--too tired to face another hospitalization ;"


"I started taking this when I was breastfeeding. My milk production decreased, but I don't believe it's linked to the birth control. Now that I'm no longer breastfeeding, my period is lighter than normal and I have random spotting. It isn't much at all though, so I really don't have complaints. I have yet to become pregnant again (thank the lord), and I haven't had any major issue so I like this medication."


"After having a urinary tract infection for three weeks, & three different antibiotics, with the third being Bactrim, I developed a horrible yeast infection. Thank goodness my Dr. prescribed seven days worth of Diflucan. After one pill, I experienced relief. Not complete relief, but I could finally get some sleep. Before Diflucan, I went through two tubes of Vagisil. It works but there is a perfumy smell that clings to the body. If my Dr. had only prescribed one pill I would be back in the ER begging for something to relieve the maddening itch. This is my first yeast infection & I hope I never get another!"


"My son has been on this since last year, from the start of school (2nd week of August) until the end of September he had 32 office referrals! I was at wits end and didn't know where to turn and as a Psychology major didn't want to use meds, but needed something. We talked to his doctor and she prescribed this and at first it was rough the first week his attitude became worse and my wife wanted to try something new but I stuck with it and from the time he went on the meds to the end of the school year he only had 1 office referral and that was because we forgot his meds. Now the he does play sports and has a great personality but the only problem I have is his weight. Since he has been in it now for 1 year he has lost 3-5 lbs."


"Has an uncomfortable side effect shortly after taking it, where muscles, particularly in lower legs/feet, tense up. Goes away after a short while. Overall totally worth it."


"Have used pump for a year and a half.  Used packets for six months before that.  Prefer the pump.  Works well and I feel better.  Have gotten back muscle mass, better outlook on life in general, and can feel sexual again.  Only negative is that testicals are smaller and softer since they no longer have to produce testosterone, but they don't bother me otherwise."


"My experience was successful!  I started the pill on 03-26-14 at which time I was 287 lbs, by 04-30-14, I dropped down to 276 lbs. I must say it really suppresses the appetite and I recommend that you eat at least breakfast daily to avoid getting headaches and feeling nausea.  Altough, I did have those side effects, I do recommend eating something again as stated preferably breakfast. The last time I weighed myself I wore 266, however,  because I am no longer eating healthy and taking the pill when I remember to take one I notice I have gained some of the weight back as my pcp indicated I would. All in all Phentermine is great if you are going to adjust to permenant lifestyle changes / eating behaviors."


"I've been taking Saphris for four days now, and I'm not sure what I think yet. I'm still having major anxiety at night, and it's not helping that much at all.  Also feel sedated when I take it in the morning, so it's difficult to care for my two year old. Hopefully this will wear off as my body adjusts to the medication.  I have been eating more, which I'm not happy about, since I just lost a lot of weight. I wish my doctor would put me on something for the anxiety, then maybe it wouldn't be so bad.  "


"The medication itself is effective and clears a migraine in about 10 minutes. However, my pen always breaks eventually and sometimes my replacement pens are faulty as well. I have a reserve of the medication, because I have been unable to take it. They need to design a better injection system."


"This birth control was horrible. I gained 20 pounds in the first 2 months and could not lose it. I told my OB several times it was due to the birth control and she told me birth control cannot make me gain weight. (LIES). 6 months in  I started to suffer from anxiety and depression. Another 6 months later I started bleeding through super tampons in less than an hour and had cramping so bad I could not even move. It felt like back labor every time I had my period. I told my doctor and they told me it could not be the birth control, it must be endometriosis and wanted to treat me with some shot and open me up to look. I said enough and switched BCs. Lost 10 lbs in 6 days, depression was gone, and no more heavy cramping and bleeding. never again."


"Worked well."


"Have Gastroparesis.  Gag reflex problem. Helps smooth the large muscles.  Cannot tolerate side effects of Reglan.  Use with Zofran at times."


"I have had some of the same side effects,but the one is well worth the other.I no longer experience the dread of having a heart attack,at a young age. I have been on blood pressure meds. Since I was 28,I'm now 45 yo. Been on several different meds for my blood pressure,..Thus stuff works."


"This was one of the better SSRI's I've been on. However, after using it for a few years I began to notice that some of the granules were not getting absorbed into my system. The granules were showing up in my stools completely whole. It worked wonders on my rage and moodiness though."


"I was given Propofol during my first routine colonoscopy after turing 50. Wow, what a drug. I went out like a light and next thing I remember was waking up in recovery and feeling like I was coming out of the best, most relaxing sleep of my life. I can see why Michael Jackson got hooked on it. What I really liked was the quick recovery time. About two hours after the procedure I felt fine, no drowsiness, nausea or anything."


"Big toes had separation for 30 years..in the summer wearing sandals it slightly improved but 1/3 of my nails were not connected to the nailbed.  Always self conscious, if I wore polish it got worse and turned black.  Started Jublia 10 months ago...with great results.  I file the nail and cut it as short as posible.  I use a dental pick to scrape any gunk from under my nail.  I wait 15 minutes after my shower to make sure my nails are dry so the med wicks into the nail.  I also put it on before bed so I use it twice a day.  I haven't used polish but my nails look fantastic.  I have insurance and pay $50 for 3 months...I would gladly pay more because my nails have never looked this good. I'm anxious to find out if I can ever do without it."


"Since having my last child at age 27, my acne has been out of control.  Serious cystic breakouts (forehead, chin, temples).  When they just about heal up, BOOM, here comes the new ones.  I have tried it all, literally.  I did lemon juice, baking soda, vinegar, herbs, masks, lotions, pH balancing washes etc.  NOTHING worked.  I was so sick of it.  At 30 I got Tri-Sprintec.  The results were amazing. 1st month, I noticed the breakouts weren't as severe (but still there). 2nd month, I noticed the inflammation was better, still a few break out spots. 3rd month, I noticed I barely broke out (just on my temple area and one spot on my chin). 4th Month-NO MORE BREAKOUTS!"


"Would frequently get tired in the afternoon or after 15 minutes of driving. Nodded off many times driving, sometimes couldn't remember half the drive. Would fall asleep at work in seminars, at my desk, etc. Always had trouble in college staying awake in class, thought other people were just better at staying interested.
With Nuvigil, my eyes never get heavy unless I'm really tired. I have much more confidence driving and staying awake at work. Even around family I don't have sleepy spells that make me look disinterested. Amazing stuff with very little side effects. I do often skip a day when I know I won't need it, and I usually feel like a nap after noon. I also take half doses (75mg) and it works almost as well as 150mg."


"I've been on Nexplanon for about 2 months now and have had zero side effects and absolutely no break through bleeding. I did get my period a week after insertion but I was due around that time anyway... I didn't notice any difference in my period (same cramping, back aches, etc.) other than it lasted for a few days longer. (Normally it's 6 days, this time it was 8). I called my OB and she said to give it a few more months to really regulate.. I'm anxious to see what next month's cycle will be like. I just hope I don't get it on my wedding day!

Other thing I forgot to mention is that it was 100% covered by my insurance."


"I took this pill about 10 pm and by 2 am I went to the restroom. I had cramping which was normal but I had threw up while I was doing the restroom then I was jittery it even lowered my blood pressure and I wanted the horrible feeling to go away I felt like I was about to pass out!!  Won't ever take it again!!"


"I came down with "Shingles" a little over 2 weeks ago, was put on anti viral drugs, this helped in fading the rash, still there but has faded, problem now is the pain, its in the rash area,its pain full, 24/7, was first given  Tramadol,to many side effects, then Hydrocodon acetaminophen, this helped a little, but not much, then regular asprin, helped some, but pain is at the point can't sleep more then 2 hrs, called back to my Dr, now its Gabapentin, for nerve pain, i just took first dose last night, so really its to early to see if this will help, sure hope so!."


"Gelnique was the second medicine I tried for overactive bladder.  It worked fine for my problem, but it takes a bit for it to soak in after you rub it on your skin.  It leaves a sticky residue which makes your clothes stick to the area.  It is also very drying to the skin.  I have very dry skin and my dermatologist gave me prescriptions for moisture barriers, so Gelnique was not a good option for me."


"I had my first seizure over 3 years ago at the age of 23. Upon receiving a MRI scan I learned that I had a brain tumor called pleomorfic xantro Astro sytoma. After having it removed I was put on Keppra XR 1500mg twice a day and have been seizure free ever since. However recently I have been having new side effects appear. At first the only side effect I had was exhaustion and occasional insomnia however over the past two weeks I have had tingling sensations on my scalp and bouts of vertigo and I am very scared about what this could mean I hope everyone else is doing well."


"I have been on Tegretol 31 years as well as Lamictal, excellent until I turned 52. Then had some partial seizures..... so my neurologist upped it from 400 to 800 Tegretol and upped Lamictal as well. Getting control slowly. Been 5 months....now..improvement is happening but slow...confident..depends on what meds suit your body. Keep positive."


"Not impressed. I was on Embeda, but found it had absolutely no effect on me whatsoever for my pain.  I have a back injury that I have had for years, and I am in chronic pain. While on Embeda, there was NO relief, except that it would put me to sleep from the drowsiness that it causes."


"update: Been on med since feb 8, 2013. see my other entry for details. because I was not getting good results, I went on paleo diet & brought a1c down in 3 months. I stopped being so strict & a1c was 6.7 last Nov. Holiday eating & not eating paleo (it is hard to go to grocery 2-3x a week!) have caused me to have way higher numbers 200-400 on daily meter. I'm sure my a1c is back up to almost 8 again. I also gained back the weight that I lost on paleo diet. Bydureon has not helped me to lose weight. Even after a year, I still get intense cravings for sweets every now and again. Due to see dr. in a couple of months. We will re-evaluate. Think I could drop a1c just by paleo diet alone."


"Insulin works fine just have trouble with pen.  Always pain and pen jammed once.  I use another brand of pen with no problems.  Went over how to use video.   I thought I was doing something wrong.  But was not.   Don't know why I get pain from this."


"Arthritis  - A true wonder drug. I've been using it for 10  years and it has allowed me to function an an optimum level. But the doctors are so wary and suspicious. I get only 40 pills for 3 months and suffer on days I cannot take it. I believe in relieving pain, and this narcotic drug will do it. Nothing else matches it."


"I was prescribed Levaquin for bronchitis and sinusitis. I have terrible dreams that wake me up every couple hours, so I'm so tired during the day. Also noticed numbness and shaking in my fingers. Made my skin and sinuses very dry. A little dizzy in the mornings, but that might be due to the lack of quality sleep. Hardly an appetite at all, and the headaches are horrible. But it does seem to be breaking up all the mucus in my chest and head. Finally I feel some relief after 2 months of being sick!"


"I drank the first round at 3 p.m.  I managed to get it down and drank water, gingerale, sports drinks. I mixed it with berry Propel water. I also ate orange jello. At 2 a.m. I tried to finish the second dose but couldn't due to severe nausea. Now it's almost 4 a.m. and I'm still trying to drink water without vomiting. The taste is very sweet and salty. The split dose is for the birds. You still have to  drink 48 oz. of fluids. I don't consider that low volume.  If I ever do this again it won't be with Suprep."


"I have been taking this birth control for almost a year now and this has been the only one to work for me without any spotting or nausea etc. I love the gel capsules, they do not make me sick at all. I suffer from migraines but haven't had many since being on this pill. My acne has gone away and I have picked up a little weight gain that was much needed as I was only 107lbs. My breast have increase a size and a half and I love that too. As with any birth control, some is not for anyone. If it doesn't work for you, that doesn't mean its a poor product. Everyone's body is different and will react to medications differently. For me this was the only birth control that worked for me and I love it."


"i been on celexa on the past totally kill my libido nothing work down there get soft mostly time doc chance to welbutrim hcl xl 150 it really help increase my libido never get soft l guess get the job done for me plus keep me motivated"


"The side effects are worst than the original problem, I've had 2 shots and won't be going for another one."


"I have been on MSContin for about 6 months now and I use as my primary pain medicine. It has helped me more than any other pain medicine that the doctor has tried on me. As, I have already stated it is my primary pain medicine, taken every 12 hours.  I also take oxycodone 30mg, 4 times a day for the break through pain."


"Deplin worked for me but is not for everybody.  I have the genetic mutation which others on this website have talked about, which keeps the body from processing folic acid into L-methylfolate which is needed by the brain for the other neurotransmitters to work properly.  A blood test ($280) proved this.  Before Deplin I was was on Bipolar meds (including Seroquel which was miserable) and antidepressants.  Now I am only on Deplin and Clonazepam for chronic anxiety and am feeling re-energized."


"Unaffordable.
Insurance won't cover a cent and I can't shell out $109.99 per month for this spray. That's after using the $100 off discount card offered by the company. My pharmacy wants $209.99 a bottle.
This is ridiculous.
 I would love some relief from my awful symptoms that leave me feeling too bad to even get out of bed half the year but I have had to revert back to other methods for minimal relief since there's no way a person on a normal income can afford the out of pocket pricing. I'm just not rich enough!"


"I can't believe my doctor did this to me.  I kept talking about how I hated the drowsy feeling that I had all day if I had to take Benadryl at night, because of my eczema induced hives. Three  Benadryl didn't do to me what this stuff did.  I took it last night, because I was starting to get a little itchy and I've been a stinkin' zombie all day!  I have slept my whole Saturday away!  I am so furious that I put the pills into the garbage disposal and will be changing doctors.  Why don't they listen instead of pretending to listen?  Don't take this stuff, definitely don't drive for several days after you've taken it!  I've been taking several Allegra at a time and it's taken away the itching & I've been willing & able to complete daily task"


"I have taken this pill for four months now and don't really have anything negative to say. I hit my "two-year limit" with the Depo shot I was on, so my healthcare provider suggested this pill. I haven't been nauseous, no headaches, no appetite changes, no bloating, etc. The only negatives I can definitely complain about is the acne and sex drive. My acne is well contained while on the pill, but during the week "break" it flares up worse than I've ever experienced. Also, I've noticed an extreme loss of sex drive along with a loss of energy. I usually cringe at the thought of having sex and losing sleep; and the only thing that has changed about my routine is this pill."


"I started taking Minastrin in November after Loestrin was discontinued, I was told it was the same pill just a different name (I disagree). Like Loestrin I take Minastrin every morning at 8 a.m. I have been taking Minastrin now for almost a year. I find I have cramps all the time, I get mad very easily, no sex drive whatsoever. I'm not sure if this is related but I get hot and sweat very easy now. I have gained a good bit of weight in my thighs and lower stomach, again not sure if that is related to Minastrin. When I go for my yearly exam I will be looking at switching."


"Worst pill ever after two months. Then experienced depression and would literally feel sad FOR NO REASON. I’m not even an emotional person. Then the weight gain which I didn’t mind. I would have no sex drive and literally be so aggravated for no reason it’s killing my relationship. Got on a different brand with a lower dosage but decided to just use condoms cause because and the side effects aren’t working for me. I would become so distant from people as well as I hate being touched. AVOID AVOID AVOID!!"


"Colcrys, has helped my Gout, but it has also raised my ALT, AST. Plus, I am experiencing burning, itching, numbness in both of my hands.  I see my Rheumatologist tomorrow."


"Getting the Kyleena did not hurt as much as I had expected. I took an Advil beforehand, so that probably helped.
Afterwards however, I felt very sick, and dizzy for the rest of the day.
I would strongly recommend if you are getting this, to make sure the rest of your day is free, and that you have someone to drive you home if at all possible. I spent the next 3 days feeling dizzy, getting heaches, being tired, and just all around gross.
I've experienced some light bleeding, but nothing too horrible. If you get an IUD though, I would strongly recommend carrying a tampon/pad with you, as you don't want to be unprepared if bleeding does occur.
It hasn't affected my sex life at all, and I feel fine now, so overall I'd say it's good!"


"When I finally get this medication filled I will give an update on its effectiveness then.

Contrave charges an obseen amount for this perscription and insurance does not help."


"Strattera made me tired during the day and kept me awake at night. It was miserable at night. I took it for 3 months before I couldn't take it anymore. Now I take 200 mg of wellbutrin twice daily and that seems to help quite a bit with my moral and the way I view myself in the world. Honestly the strattera made a zombie out of me."


"I went on this pill to help with heavy periods. I have gained weight, I have blurred vision and my body aches constantly. I took myself off this pill.  This is my body and I know what works for me. I will have to figure out which is worse heavy cycle or side effects."


"I was on loestrin fe, to minastrin fe, now to junel 1/20 since that's all my insurance would cover. I have been on it a week and a half. This is possibly the worst birth control ever. I have been on birth control for 5 years, and not ONCE have I ever experienced this. I am moody, anxious, depressed, exhausted, mild headaches, nauseous. I have no clue who I am on this and it's only been a week and a half. I'd hate to see long term effects. Coming off of it immediately"


"I have been taking this birth control and I can tell you that it is working for me. I used to take another birth control that made me always moody and depressed. But with this birth control I have been the same (actually even more relaxed). I was surprised when I saw so many people talking about the side effects because I've got almost none so far. Sometimes a little headache but that is it. My skin has been getting better and my boobs are also getting a little bigger so that's a plus. My weight has not changed but I am also very active. I hope this helps people to understand that any pill you take, will have a different effect on each individual."


"I was on this medicine for a little over a year and I gained almost 100 pounds. I slept all the time and my emotions felt numb."


"Lunesta is helpful because it promotes a gentle rest state. I had changed from Ambian,which at times caused me to be cranky and jumpy.Lunesta will take some time in the evening to work,but I found some good sleep with this. Make sure you are monitored by your MD,Keep meds away from children and pets.If Lunesta is used responsibly it can be a good med for bad insomnia"


"I have a hard time with BC pills due to irritability and being emotional. I must say Lo loestrin Fe really helped my emotional side, but as far as my irritability it was awful. My sex drive was greatly decreased, and I always felt like something was wrong. I really wanted a pill to work, but I've tried about 3 now and my Dr. thinks I just can't handle the hormones in pills. "


"Knee, loss of cartilage in both knees. Series 3 injections 1 wk apart. First lasted 12 months, second, same, now getting 3rd series. Works excellent. The use of Euflexxa has been excellent and continued to work well without pain for 12 months.  This is my third series of injections."


"The side effects were fairly intense for the first month, primarily depression "attacks" and dehydration, but they stopped almost on cue at the end of the month.  I was amazed how quickly it started working.  I lost 8-12 pounds per month for the first 6 months, then it slowed to 3-5 pounds per month for a few months.  When it slowed to about 2 pounds, I decided to go off it for awhile and allow my body to re-set.  I started again 6 months later, but it no longer had any effect.  My total weight loss on Qsymia was about 70 pounds.  I would highly recommend it, as it was so effective for the first months, and allowed me to eat a healthy diet without the usual physical and mental struggles.  But very expensive.  Coupon very helpful."


"Back in my early 20's, I started experiencing severe agitation, anxiety, mood swings, and couldn't think straight, along with OCD etc. I finally went to see a psychiatrist. He put me on Paxil, Klonopin, and Risperdal. When I 1st started this combo of drugs, I felt very good, very clear headed. It almost seemed like I was myself again. After a few years, the side effects started brewing. My anxiety returned in full force, my thoughts were disorganized once again, and I began itching all over my body, especially my legs and feet. My bladder went bad. Gained weight. From the get go, Risperdal made me EXTREMELY ANXIOUS upon taking it.  It was the culprit behind my itchy skin and bladder issues too. BE CAREFUL. Caused SEVERE INNER RESTLESSNESS!"


"Works great as a fever reducer."


"I suffered from anxiety/depression since I was 16. I'm 25 now. I started self medicated in my early 20's.  When I tried to stop due to addiction issues, my symptoms worsened to the point where I woke every morning with a feeling of intense dread.  I felt the world was against me, I had severe social anxiety, and I was trapped in my own head.  Enter Lexapro 10mg.  I've only been on this medicine for 2 weeks and I feel SO much more emotionally stable. Felt a positive difference Day 1.   I'm able to deal with real problems now instead of make believe ones.  I'm so much more in control.  The world isn't nearly as threatening as it was before.  It's all a bit funny now, I don't take myself or anyone else too seriously.  No side effects either."


"I have been taking Seraquel for 10 years of varying dosage until finding the right balance of this medication.

It cured my insomnia and dampened the racingthoughts. Very happy with it for those reasons.

However. I feel very dizzy and tired around an hour after taking 350mg at night.

It levels out the mood swings.

Curbs  feelings of elation and empathy. Which is quite a price  to pay for steady moods.

To conclude, Seraquel has had a very positive influence in the treatment of Bipolar Disorder. I think of it as preventative medication that "quietens" the mind. (Hence Quetiapine - it's pharmaceutical name)."


"In response to Natalie- why didn't your doctor wean you off this medication? By just  cutting your dose by half-if that's what he/she did here,  no wonder you're experiencing such horrific side effects - speak up! My daughter just started taking this for panic disorder brought about by MIf the RX only comes in capsule form at those two doses- then there needs to be advocacy to change this so there is a way to wean off this med! So many people report negative side effects- withdrawal shouldn't be torture and you might need to find a more compassionate doctor- it astonishes me the lack of empathy some professionals have- considering their career choice- if they can't be compassionate, they should stay AWAY from patients and stick to reearch!"


"i started belviq one week ago, i got on the scale im 3lbs up. my legs have been swollen since yesterday..i feel dizzy and fatigue taking it..ive been eating less and exercising at least 3 times in the past week.i don't think this pill is for me...im feeling uncomfortable with swollen legs its scary...i will call my physician tomorrow to see what i can do for this to go away...but i wont take another pill after this."


"I took Paxil for 10 years.  Started on 20mg and had intense anxiety, confusion, panic. Doctor insisted it was all in my head.  Therapist told me to cut the dose in 1/2.  Felt somewhat better. Went up to 20mg after a few months and began to get brain zaps. A close friend told me I had lost my personality. Slept 10-14 hrs a night and frustrated my partner because of sleeping, no sex drive and no ability to feel sexual pleasure.  Effects of alcohol intensified-  passed out from 2 drinks or became over-emotional.  Tapered from 20mg to 0 slowly over the 10 yrs.  Each tiny decrease resulted in ~2wk period of increased anxiety. I think overall it numbed the panic but CBT therapy and getting older may have been more or similarly effective. "


"I have had Implanon for 3 years. I never had weight gain, mood swings or pain but at the end of the 3 years, for a few months I did get sever acne, depression and weight gain. The two and a half years without periods or the worry if I could get pregnant is worth the few months of acne and weight gain."


"I think the physicians are prescribing too high a dosage for those that are having such terrible side effects.  My doctor started me with just 12.5mg.  Yesterday she increased it to 25mg and today I've had some dizziness, a little nausea and some palpitations. I'll go back to the 12.5mg - it didn't completely eliminate my pain but it was so much better.  I was able to do my house work and even did a little shopping which is very good for me.  I take Lyrica at night and just the 12.5mg Savella in the morning with breakfast. Maybe the physicians could reduce the dosage with better results.  My arms are still sore but not as bad.  I'll continue the Savella, at least for now."


"I was put on Linzess a few weeks ago. I have struggled with chronic constipation for many years. I have tried every OTC laxative with no luck. I didn't think this would work. For the first week, it didn't do anything for me. I was losing hope. Then by the 2nd week, it was creating softer stools to be passed. I had a colonoscopy a couple weeks ago, and I had to take bowel prep, which cleaned me completely out. I have also switched to a gluten-free diet, which has helped greatly (and I honestly didn't think it would). I take Linzess every other day now instead of every day. It still works for me. However, it works a lot quicker than it did prior to the colonoscopy. I don't have to run to the bathroom, but I can feel it when it kicks in."


"Got my paraguard on my period, I'm 22 and never have had a child. My doctor numbed my uterus beforehand, the insertion was a few deep strong cramps and feeling like being prodded, but nothing too crazy. The first few hours I was having some sharp cramps, after the numbing wore off I almost went to the ER, it felt like I was having contractions and giving birth. Advil didn't help at all. My doc called in Tylenol #3 and it helped a lot mixed with Advil and the pain subsided after a few days like she said it would. 3 months in and I've already dropped 15 pounds from not being on hormones anymore! The cramps are non-existent now when I don't have my period. My periods were light-moderate and now they're heavy. My bf can't feel the strings! 8/10"


"I love this stuff! Instant relief from nasal discomfort.  The only problem I have is it causes me severe leg and foot cramps.  Didn't see this listed on any other complaints, just wondering if anyone else has had this reaction?"


"Ritalin is great . I ve been taking it for 6 months now after being diagnosed with adhd. Now I can focus on my school work and stay alerted when last year I was sleeping the whole day during school and could learn anything. Marks of course have jumped from C to A as I can focus and stop doing stupid mistakes in tests that I didn t realize I was doing nor could spot due to the lack of patience. Impulses have been reduced also"


"I love Implanon so far. It has been a year since having Implanon inserted. I do have occasional back and chest break outs but just a pimple here or there. Nothing more than 2 or 3 at a time. Instead of weight gain I have had weight loss without trying at all. Normally during the winter I put on anywhere from 5-10lbs. Over the last year my weight has decreased by 10 lbs. Initially my mood swings were ridiculous. Now I may just be used to the mood swings, not sure! I haven't had my period since before insertion. It's worth a shot!"


"Enbrel most likely saved my life. Was eating less znd less due to pain in jaw. Range of motion loss in neck, hip, jaw and  back largely regained after taking Enbrel. On it for 6  years. Pain went away day after starting it. First symptom was probably iritis episode in 2000. Now 53 years old and only worry is how to pay for it with all the changes in medical coverage."


"I was taking an acid reducer called Ranitidine quite often over  a 3 year period.  Doctor prescribed 40mg Protonix for 28 days and my stomach  felt so much better. Now going without the medication for 10 days, it feels as if my stomach is not doing so well. Doctor advised that I take 20 mg when needed. Bottom line - it worked for me."


"Hi guys. I'm 30 years old, and have been slowly receeding and balding for about 6 years. I'd say I've lost and inch and a half from my hairline, and my crown has thinned alot. Not quite a bald patch, but definitely thinning out. I read about propecia a couple of years ago, and the horror stories put me off, despite the fact that I REALLY want to keep my hair. A workmate pointed out how thin I am on top a couple of weeks ago which gave me a kick up the arse. I have been on propecia for a two weeks now, and my hair loss has stopped already! When I showered before, my hands would have at least 30 hairs on them, now 1 or 2. I was terrified of the sexual side effects, but I can honestly say I've felt next to none (very slight testicle ache)."


"Have been taking Pristiq for 4 weeks and am feeling great. More focused relaxed and energetic. Can think clearer and no anxiety. Had dry mouth dizziness and loss of appetite for first couple of days."


"Works very well controlling my blood pressure."


"I've read a few womens comments and honestly I've had no bad side effects or experiences whatsoever. I'm not sure what factors are taken into consideration. Im 5'3 latina in great shape, 130 to be exact. This pill honestly has not affected my sex drive at all - so in my opinion to each its own.

Monitor your own symptoms."


"My main issue was facing depression for years and took several antidepressants in the past. I don't have bipolar, but my psychiatrist decided to try a mood stabilizer for the first time since antidepressants weren't working and since I tried to commit suicide for the 2nd time a few months back.

Trileptal has completely took away my depression. Even when I hit a bump in the road, I'm not even close to the person I was a few months ago. I'm able to work 6 days a week, have more energy, and my thoughts of suicide are no longer present. Having a BA in psychology I want to add that meds are not a "cure", but sometimes it is better than wanting to take your life and at least be an aid to help you get back on track."


"So I have always struggled with my weight, I am either trying to loose weight or gaining it....there is never an steady weight for me. I feel like I can loose weight rather quickly if I give up 100% of my mindset on it, but the downside of that is I also gain just as quickly. Now that I am in my late 30's the extra weight is now effecting my health causing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, very low self esteem, and complete misery. I love clothes, but never even want to get dressed anymore because I am uncomfortable and can't wear what I love. I am to the point that the extra weight is changing my once outgoing, bubbly personality into a shy, quiet girl because I am uncomfortable in my skin. I hope this helps! I need it badly."


"Very effective and low side effect profile in my experience. I didn't take my second dose by accident and I notice a huge difference. Trileptal really helps specifically for severe mania in combination with a neuroleptic."


"I have stomach pain - does it go away? So far it's been helping me.  I've been on for 2 weeks but I can't take the pain."


"I'm 24 years old and have taken Adderall over the course of 10 years. I know the only side effect I couldn't control is the stunting of my growth. I'm 5'7" and I only grew 1/2 inch in high school. I'm given 90, 30mg monthly. It has always improved my grades, however knowing that tolerance builds I do not take it all the time. Remember you have to take care of your body, especially your heart and liver, because long-term use side effects are still not concisely known."


"One day and I already feel better after being laid up for 5 days regret not calling my doctor sooner!"


"This week I started off on of 5 mg and then went up to 10mg. I've been doing a lot of spiritual work so I'm not sure whether I feel better because of the drug or because of trying to change my thinking. But one thing I've definitely noticed is that I am totally constipated.   Not even an urge to go.  I'll try the medication until  this batch is done, and hopefully the side effect will have gone. Otherwise I don't think I can stay on it.  No other side effects that I can see right now"


"Lowered cholesterol from high 250s to 130 in 8 months with no noticable side effects. My doctor is lowering the dosage level- want to see if I can keep the numbers down on a lower dose."


"I had mine inserted in March of 2016. It is very effective in preventing pregnancies but it has caused me to break out everywhere. I had never had any pimples on my chest or back and very few on my face and now I get them all the time. I have noticed that my hair falls out a lot more yet my under arm and leg hair grow faster. My periods have been really irregular. Didn't have one for 2 months, got one that lasted a month but wasn't very heavy and now it has been 2 months again with no period. Not sure if I will get it removed but I'm gonna give it a few more months at least. Insert didn't hurt, just the litacane (numbing stuff) and the insertion site does not bother me at all, forget it's there."


"I'm 28 problem started when I was about 22yr. old. I took dicyclomine for about a week for my Colon. After 3rd MRI spent 2.5 days in hospital. Only for them to tell me we don't know what is wrong with you here try these pills. They sent me home I had to crawl on my hands and knees vomiting along the way from hospital exit to my car. The pills (20mg) helped after about 3rd day then they seemed to make it hurt. Now I only take it when I can feel my colon starting to hurt it seems to work good that way. I'm still taking it."


"I take this with other meds for my ADD and mania. Now my sentences come together and thought processes, I'm not always fighting to stay awake, I can concentrate on single subjects. Waking up in the morning from a night of Antipsychotic medication that knocks you out isn't a problem anymore. Would give it a 10 but it looses efficacy over time - moved from 250 mg. AM dose to 250 mg as soon as I awake and another 125 mg 4 hours later. Otherwise I feel a crash without my 2nd half dose. Find a coupon, this is no cheap drug."


"It works well, however, it made me as sleepy as Benadryl."


"This is my first time ever being on birth control and so far I'm loving this NuvaRing. I've lost 5 pounds in 3 weeks. No acne only side effect is that I can't keep anything down all I want to eat is fruits and salads, my doctor said it was normal and that maybe this will help with the anxiety I had before. But everybody is different lets keep that in mind."


"I have been struggling with acne since I graduated high school. It got REALLY BAD. Around that time (high school) is when I first took isotretinoin. I took it for about 3 months and it worked wonders for me. However 8 years later the bad acne has reappeared. I take Amnesteem now. I'm in my second week and its making it worse. I don't remember this medicine doing this the first time. The only side effects I've experienced was dry lips, dry skin and dry eyes so far. I hope this gets better for me. If it does I will update this comment."


"Fortesta was my 1st try with a hormonal treatment. My Doc rocks and had a discount card. Was following the directions as my Testosterone levels were not in the normal range of 400-900 mg/dcl. Anyway, after the same depression, insomnia, overall and weakness symptoms some described here, my mega blood work revealed that I was at 109 on the Tes-scale.
Only warning I would put forth is to watch the dosage. I experienced some "fits of irritability" and then slight back pimples, etc. So I adjusted the dosage to half and lasted twice as long. Worked out well as I am of smaller stature at 5'-6" and 142lbs. Too much testosterone. Works well and dries quickly.
"


"It seemed okay. I was more alert than when using oxycodone. After three weeks, the side effects outweigh the positives. It was more psychotic than I had planned. After the 75 mg dose wore off, the drop off was steep. I felt very agitated and somewhat aggressive. Similar to prescribed amphetamine or steroid. It makes me so agitated that I have decided to go back to the Oxy. I also experienced some respiratory distress and diminished vision. Good try as an alternative but it is not for me. Kadian had similar reactions."


"My doctor gave me Lexapro 5 mg for depression and anxiety.  Shortly after my first dose I felt nothing but side effects and no benefit.  Side effects were extreme restlessness, tired, constant yawning and insomnia, so I stopped immediately.  I then thought that maybe 5 mg was too much so I split that in half totaling 2.5 mg. and this worked perfectly.

I suffered from moderate to severe depression, extreme fatigue, crying spells especially in the morning, no motivation, negative and pessimistic, etc.  Lexapro at 2.5mg gave me instant relief and energy.  I'm a firm believer in starting at the lowest possible dose and see how you go from there.  If side effects outweigh the benefits, try a lower dose."


"I got the liletta put in May 2016. A little discomfort at the time of insertion. Light spotting and cramping the day after. Over all, for me and my husband, he doesn't feel a thing. I Totally hate the spotting.  Literally bleeding for 3 weeks.  Then normal for 2. Maybe a little exaggerated on the 3 weeks. But I've figured out the process.  2 weeks of daily, consistent spotting. 1 weeks menses. Normal the week after menses and the week of ovulation. Trying to wait the 6 months. My doctor says it stops around that time. Wish me luck"


"Made my mood a thousand times worse, only helps with putting me to sleep"


"48 hours ago my fiance and I decided to do Fentanyl just to get high we're not physically dependent and we've actually had some significant clean time in between it was my third time so I knew how strong it has gotten or at least our tolerance wasn't as high as it used to be. It was his second time and being who he is he decided to do more than I suggested which I'm not promoting it I'm just saying normally... I didn't realize I only had some much space to type my experience anyway needless to say it was the most terrifying experience of my life I've never overdosed before and I am just grateful they had they naloxone I had it nasally administered... They said I was on the verge of death. Scary stuff man thank God for Narcan"


"I have been on Trinessa for 2 months now and it is my first go at a birth control pill. Overall, I'm fairly happy. The first month was a mess, but now, by the second month, things are MUCH more regular. You really have to give this pill a chance to adapt and jive with your system. My acne is improving, after taking a terrible hit during the first month. I still experience occasional cystic bumps, but they are much better than before I began Trinessa. Trust me, the first month is almost hopeless. But, by the second month things are really looking up! Don't be afraid to try it because of some of the negative reviews, you've got to find out what works with your body!"


"I got on this birth control April 18 2015 , it was cool throughout my  first 22 months then I start  gaining weigh everything became irritating to me everything was making me upset , I can see a big changes in my emotions and I also gained anger. I'm always tired and I'm always nauseated. But I didn't get pregnant so if you don't care about the side effects then good luck"


"Omg what ever you do please don't use !!! I have had several YIs in my day , so the other day after some itching and discomfort I decided to grab the three day miconazole ..... WOW within seconds of inserting I ran out of the bathroom crying for my mom to help, I have never been in more pain in my life , I thought my skin was melting off , I literally dug out all the cream with my fingers and flushed my poor vag out with water ... I'm laying in bed 30 minutes later and I'm still in pain... I will be calling tomorrow to get my money back , it should be illegal to sell this vaginal acid."


"My boyfriend and I were getting pretty serious so I thought to ask my OB about birth control. I had read about the patch and thought why not, so she prescribed me it and I didn't even need to have an exam. This is my first time using birth control (I'm 16). So far, the patch is awesome. My acne cleared up, and my breasts have grown a bit. When I first started using it,  I had some cramps but that may just have been because of my period although the cramps were worse where I had placed the patch. I felt nauseous for about a week but it was intermittent and went away. After that I felt completely fine. And I have discovered that the best place to put the patch is on your hip near your butt, that way it doesn't wrinkle."


"I have herniated discs in my lower back, I have been on 10mg/325mg norco 4 times daily for 11 months. All of a sudden this other pain doctor I was forced to see since mine disappeared put me on T4's which are complete JUNK! I would rather take nothing at all... I feel like I am just flooding my liver with tylenol for nothing... The DEA needs to stop threatening doctors with jail and let them do their jobs. I'm sorry but just because some junkies decided to shoot heroin and die doesn't give them the right to deny me quality Healthcare... I AM PISSED because I am in PAIN! I DON'T WANT TO GET HIGH I JUST WANT RELIEF!"


"Horrible I get breakthrough bleeding weeks before my period and then it lasts for what feels like forever.....switching to a different birth control in 2 weeks.....HORRIBLE"


"This is the first BC I have been on and have been taking it for two years now. I have had no issues with it. While starting I did have the normal spotting until my body was used to it. But after my first two periods I was fine. I haven't experienced any mood swings or pain. If I miss my pill I take it as soon as I can remember and I am fine."


"It seemed to give me restless legs and and a very dry mouth...first day. I'll post next week to tell how it really reacts with me."


"I used Ultram for 3 years for chronic back pain/sciatica. It's the only medicine that relieved the pain every time. I took 1-3 50mg pills per day and NEVER had to increase dosage. HOWEVER, I started having memory/attention problems, shaking, blurry vision and possible seizures (being evaluated now).
I've been off Ultram for nearly a month now and it feels like the veil has been lifted... like my brain's back, clarity. But my original pain feels twice as bad, I have restless legs syndrome and am sleeping MAYBE 4 hours per night. All are symptoms of withdrawal. It worked great for the pain.
"


"As I have gotten older my eyes have become quite irritated due to dry eyes. Usually they get very itchy and they burn a lot, and I have to scratch them a lot, which is not good for the eyes. I went to the optometrist and he prescribed me Systane which is OTC eye drops. I used them for about a year. They provide good temporary relief and were good for the short term, but they were never a permanent solution, and they made my eyes burn a lot, I saw mediocre result with them. I then went to the eye doctor and he prescribed me Xiidra. He gave me a coupon, so the first month would be free. I noticed immediate results. The side effects were bad taste in mouth and blurry vision, but rarely do my eyes burn with them. My eyes look better also."


"This medication killed my father. He took it for 3 weeks having been prescribed this for his first episode of atrial fibrillation. The autopsy results were a definitive cause of death due to lung and liver toxicity caused by the cordarone. Do not take this medicine. It will kill you."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"I was given neulester after my chemo treatments as well. I was expecting the worst, because that is what you hear from others. I received 16 treatment of chemo and 16 of neulester and I can truly say that I was blessed with everything. I do recall having a little pain in my legs one day,but it last for appr. Two hours on and off. My count remain where it needed to be,never went down."


"Finally took the sample given to me by my doctor after nothing else was making a dent in my migraine after approximately 12 hours. This worked literally within an hour. Felt wonderful and not at all "fuzzy" headed. Will always be keeping a dose of this on hand with me."


"Let me just say that I've tried everything. NOTHING was working. Some products would keep my acne at bay, but never actually get rid of it. Since 7th grade, I've had severe cystic acne, along with huge whiteheads, blackheads, and tiny clogged pores that would NOT go away even when my skin was clear.
My dermatologist prescribed Epiduo along with Acanya (just for the cystic acne) and Cetaphil (facewash) . Although I believed it would never work, after 3 months on it, my skin was clear! Not just better, but actually clear! Friends, family, and even strangers would compliment me on my skin. I can't believe it and it's made me amazingly confident to think that I'm one of the lucky people with clear skin. I highly recommend this."


"After trying Vesicare, Enablex and Gelnique, I was giving up.  My doctor suggested trying this one...Sanctura. I saw results the very next day. I can not only sleep through the night, I am no longer running to get to the toilet in the morning. I've only been on it 5 days. No side effects yet.  But I also take stool softeners. No dry mouth...no sleepiness.  I also have given up caffeine at the same time I began this pill. Not sure if that helped as well, but I am now very happy!"


"This medicine really helps with my conditions. I've tried many medicines to no avail. Hope this helps."


"The people that developed Harvoni should receive the Nobel Peace Prize for medicine. I carried this virus for 40 years!  Took the pill for 24 weeks and so far, I'm cured!  This is nothing short of a miracle. I only hope that Many more people can be cured also.  Thanks for saving my life. Sincerely,  Todd C."


"This was my third kidney stone. The first two (3mm) were very painful and I used pain killers, no flomax. The ER did a CAT scan and said this stone was 5 mm and located at the junction between the ureter and kidney, and was causing mild hydronephrosis. They gave me flomax and pain meds. I do not like to take medicine and since pain was bearable at that point, I just took the flomax not the pain meds. I was skeptical since the FDA has only approved Flomax in men with prostate issues but doctor explained it helps the ureter stretch. I took it in the evenings after dinner and had no noticeable side effects. Took about two weeks, but stone passed and I never took a singe pain pill - did drink tons of water, had a bit of cramping, that's all!"


"I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder and Major Depression which was a total panic in itself. My doctor and therapist both agreed that I should take an antidepressant. I was so scared of the medicine because of the panic disorder that I tried other remedies first. I did EMDR cognitive thinking as well as many others. After a few months of therapy, and depression getting worse I decided to give it a try. It has saved my life. If you are scared it is worth it. The side effects for me lasted about 2 days and were very mininal really just dry mouth and tired that was about it. I have only been taking this medication for 3 weeks and feel awesome. I have some anxiety but I am able to control it the way any other human should and can. I recommend it."


"I love Implanon! I used to have NuvaRing and it caused many yeast infections and bacterial vaginitis. Since I've switched to Implanon I haven't had any issues whatsoever. I am terrified of needles and the only reason I didn't get Implanon earlier was for the fear of the huge needle they would put in my arm. Honestly I didn't feel a thing. The numbing medicine stung a little bit but I couldn't even tell when they put my Implanon in. I had a cold rag over my eyes and I was still waiting for the pain when they told me it was all over. I haven't had any side effects nor weight gain. I love it!"


"I've been taking this for 3 months. I lost 30lbs in the first 2 months, and have maintained for the past month. This past month I've been eating horribly just b/c I've been distracted by other personal problems. But I haven't gained a single pound back, mainly because this stuff will not let you overeat. I have next to no appetite, so even when I do eat junk, I can only eat maybe 1/3 of it. I've had to REMIND myself to eat a few times, that's how much this has killed my appetite. First month was rough with side effects; lots of vomiting immediately after eating, fatigue, etc. But the weight practically fell off against my will.  It's a life changer!"


"This was absolutely horrible. I had a migraine at work and luckily I work for a DR office. I took one pill since that's all that's in the sample. About 10 mins later I was sweating, face was blood red, very very nauseated, felt weird, I was dizzy. I ended up having to leave work and go lay down. Here we are 12 hours later and still a migraine. I am glad to hear it works for most but I'd never take it again."


"Works great and better than the new antipsychotics. Helps my anxiety a lot.  Very strong medicine. Only thing I hate about it is when I went back on it I gained 15 pounds in a week. :*("


"The combo of atenolol in the morning and 1 propafanone at

bedtime has stopped my atrial-fibrillation in its tracks!"


"I was taking to control facial hair growth. I just finished my first pack and I've see all the negative side effects. My period was light, only needing a panty liner but I've been spotting for over two weeks now. I never had heavy periods so it's kind of annoying. I did get and am still bloated. The hair growth have not stopped, still grows at the same pace. If no change in three months, I plan to stop."


"Been using Victoza for 1 month, down 25lbs.
Was nauseous at first but got Zofran, took with the shot, works great."


"Ive been on the pill for almost a year and the first three months my period was not regulated that after my period was regulated but i would spot 3 days before I had my period and I had no symtoms but after about 6 to 7 months I notice that my boobs would be tender almost all the time and that my appetite increase like I would be full after eating about 2-3 plate of food then like 30 mins to an hour later I would be hungry again and then I  gained weight maybe like 5 to 8 pounds over 6 months it works and I really dont have a problem with the symptoms cause I now got use to it and my sex drive has acually increased"


"Every time i get a UTI they put me on Bactrim and it doesn't help at all. Then they will put me on Cipro and it gets the job done. So now I tell the doctor I want Cipro for a UTI."


"I have been through just about every as an abortive for migraines, and this is the only thing that has consistently worked. Fioriocet worked for a while, but a tolerance is gained so I was put on ketorolac tabs instead of IM. I can finally live again. I haven't notice any of the side effect either."


"I was put on Klonopin about 8 months ago...My bp would not come down with lisipril so the Dr put me on Klons, Valium, and Lexapro to stop whatever was going on... She stopped the valium but im still on the lexapro and klons...Im prescribed 90 klons 1mg a month and 60 10mgs lexapros a month...Well those didnt work but the lexapro and klons did with my anxiety  but now im on Azor 10/40 again to try to get it down...Anxiety sucks and I dont wish it on my worst enemy... Well maybe...lol"


"Works well after 4-6 weeks of use but extremely pricey if don't have insurance coverage."


"I started on Belviq 2 weeks ago and I am down 26 lbs.  I started at 383 and am down to 357.  I assume much of my wt loss (20 lbs) the first week was water wt as I was eating fast food every day.  I also am using my fitness pal to help count my calories.  I have also begun to walk as a form of excercise.   After going out to eat this past weekend for a celebration I brought home 1/2 my meal which I have never done in my entire life.  I have lost wt on my own in the past, but felt due to depression and being in a hole I needed some help this time.  I also am only taking one 10 mg pill a day instead of the 10 mg 2x daily.  I am not hungry and the pills are expensive so if one pill a day is working this is what I will continue on."


"I have had bad pain in both wrists for one and a half years now, I have had to leave my job as a gardener for 10 years. I found it effective with pain working up to 30mg but stopped as I don't wont to have to always take drugs, but now the pain is back."


"I wanna take the time out to thank who ever invented Zoloft. I use to be so depressed,  I didn't want to be around my kids or my husband.  I would tell my husband I was tired of existing.  My life was turning inside out. So I knew I needed help so I talk to my doctor I explained to her what I was going through and she said Zoloft would be perfect. I didn't want to believe I needed meds but coming to find out it wasn't bad at all. I'm happy now my kids love to play with me and think I'm so cool!!!  My husband who was so patient just loves all over me and he's proud I didn't give it. I'm only 28 yrs old and I feel like I'm a teen all over!!! Thanks Zoloft"


"I am technically taking this for reactive arthritis, that I have struggled with on and off for 15 years.  Most recently on a 4 year stint, where I have been talking steroids.  The idea was that this would allow me to get off of steroids.  It took a few months to seem to help, but now (6 months) I have been weening off the steroids.  In the beginning  I experienced migraines, which I never had before, about 2 per week, Now about 1 per month. I also regularly experience diarrhea, not having to go more often, but lose stool when I do.  Annoying but tolerable.  It also seems to work as an appetite suppressant, which is positive side effect for me at 40 yrs old  lost about 8 lbs so far. So overall pretty good med now that migraines are less."


"I have been on Methadose for about 10 years.  When I started treatment I soon learned the good and bad sides of methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). Yes, I have my life back, I am clean and sober...but methadone is a double edged knife. I have tried to detox from it, I cannot begin to tell you the pain of detox, it's the worst detox I've ever had. It took me 1 year to feel normal! I've gained a TON of weight from methadone. I don't know if methadone causes you to gain weight, but I know many people that have gained 25-50 pounds after starting methadone. Also, my teeth are very bad. I need dentures,  I'm not sure if methadone was the cause of my bad teeth, but I know many people with the same problem. I would tell people think about MMT before starting it."


"For me Questran is fantastic.  Without it I would be too ill to leave the house."


"Started taking 60 mg in the morning for 9 days and then increased the dosage to 80 mg for major depression along with anxiety.  The main effects I felt were extreme agitation, irritation, and anger.  It was next to impossible to concentrate on anything.  My body and brain were very restless.  Realizing that antidepressants take some time before they reach full effect, I tried my best to push myself to stay on it to see if I experienced any improvements.  I didn%u2019t.  So, after 5 weeks, I stopped taking it."


"Awesome. It really works with little to no side effects.  The worst that happened was in the first 2-3 days I had the "feeling restless or aggressive" symptom and the extremely dry mouth.  After that, I was fine."


"I have used Nupercainal, Preparation H and Tronolane.  Nupercainal is effective, Prep. H smells and is greasy, Tronolane is outstanding.  I have now been using it for at least 10 years, as required, and it always relieves pain and soothes the area. Tronolane is a wonderful product."


"Starting on .25 dosage and has helped my anxiety enormously. Have to say that has also helped my depression as well. I got my 1st good noghts sleep in months. Helps with panic attacks as well. I think sleep depravation plays a major role in scattered thoughts and feeling of hopelessness. Once we start getting back to regular sleep patterns, we can all feel sane and less overwhelmed in our everyday lives! Good luck to all!"


"I've been on metformin for 2 weeks now and am so happy with the results that it makes me want to cry.  I've lost 6 pounds, I have my energy back and I'm just happy again. I feel like I'm back to myself after not being for the past 3 years.  I would recommend it to anyone who suffers from PCOS."


"Insertion was quite painful. Cramping, although no bleeding.

No period at all for the first 6 months. My first period was about 5 days long & very light.

But I gained 5 lbs since I got it. Food cravings are ridiculous and I recently developed an unbearable odor coming from my cervix.

Monthly, I'm supposed to check the string to make sure mirena is still in place, and doing so after my first period, there was a thick white discharge that smelled sour and wouldn't go away even after douching daily. I got myself checked for an infection because it was accompanied by itching when it first started (no multiple partners)  I thought it was a yeast infection, but I was clear; no infection at all. I think the bad outweighs the good for mirena."


"I am on my second round of celexa. I took it many years ago for a few years, only 10mg a day. It definitely worked but after a few years I decided to get off it. You need to ween yourself off it very slowly if you’ve taken it for a long time. I experienced voices and hallucinations the first couple days going off it completely after I thought I had weened myself enough so I had to ween myself for another month. I had never had symptoms like that in my life. However, I got off of it. Now my depression and anxiety came back for quite a bit so I went back on celexa 20 mg and it is definitely helping. My recommendation is to avoid a lot of caffeine while on this drug or you will notice anxiety increases more so than when you’re not on celexa."


"Took for the first time last night slept perfect. Did wake up groggy for the first 2 hours, small price to pay. I have been on over ten different meds and this by far works wonders."


"I have tried Singular three different times. Each time it has caused suicidal tendancies in me. This happens soon after I take it. My mood was very scary on this. I was prescribed this for asthma and allergies. I stopped taking it since it seemed to just depress me."


"I was prescribed Ambien after suffering a serious bout of insomnia that no OTC sleep aid would touch. I was given 10 MG. The first night I took it, I woke up feeling like I was in heaven. I hadn't slept that well since I was a kid. I used it for three months, and the only reason I stopped taking it is because the 10 MG dosage eventually "pooped out" on me and my doctor did not want to increase the dose, so he switched me to Lunesta. But it was great while it lasted. I did have some weird hallucinations happen if I took it and stayed up for a while, so make sure you take it and go right to bed. I quit cold turkey to go on Lunesta and had no problems discontinuing it."


"I've been taking Tri-Sprintec for a few weeks now and I have been breaking out and I usually have great skin.  I usually sleep a good 8-9 hours a night and now I'm having A LOT of trouble sleeping and I wake up without being able to fall back to sleep after 3-5 hours. I have felt very nauseous and I have even thrown up a few times. I will be switching to something else very soon."


"I've had dulcolax many times before and always get a varied reaction. Usually it kicks in after about two hours. I will have moderate to severe cramps for a further few hours then diarrhea until the cramps stop. Sometimes I can't go for hours and am left with unproductive cramps all night. Sometimes there are no cramps and no effect (in this case I follow up with senna plus dulcolax the next day). My worst experience was a few years ago where I didnt experience cramps until the morning. After an incredibly painful few hours I passed an incredible amount of diarrhea over the next 24 hours to the point I was certain I had cholera; every 5 minutes I would need to run to the bathroom and pass a few litres of water."


"After transitioning into university I had a really horrible time with anxiety. I started to feel down all the time and couldn't stand it. First I was given 10mgs and I worked well for the first two weeks, then I just felt worse. Been on 20mg and that is the perfect dose for me. I feel normal again, it's great to feel the way I used too."


"I've had the mirena for a little over a year. I haven't had a period in about 8 months but occasionally do get cramps. My sex drive has become very high. I've also gained 30 lbs since I got it. That's been the only down side of the mirena. Other than the insane weight gain, the mirena has been very effective and painless."


"While this medication calmed my stress, I wish I had never gone on it.  I have been trying to go off it for two years.  The withdrawal symptoms are horrendous. Brain zaps, anxiety ten times worse than before meds, isolation, low energy, extreme irritability, very quick to anger.  No joy.  I used to be a very happy and caring person. No more.  I would never wish this on anyone else..."


"I have been using this for five years and wow is it great! For those of you who have problems with it burning try spraying Bactine on after you have used the Drysol and then blow dry on low with a hair dryer for a minute or so on each underarm. This will help with the burning at night, Good luck."


"Only the 4th day and can't sleep due to rapid heart rate and high blood pressure. Very dizzy and nauseous. Panic attacks due to the side effect of this drug. Feel terrible."


"Opana doesn't work switch oxy morphine generic, when they changed Opana they ruined  it."


"I'm in the middle of my third month using trinessa.  I'm 17 and it's the first form of birth controll pills I've tried.  Overall these first few months have been a positive experience. I had minor acne which is all gone and I never break out.  My periods are much lighter.  I only have to use a "regular" size tampon for 4 days but then I will usually spot for 3-4 more days, in which I'll just use a panty liner.  My first week and month on trinessa was pretty difficult, it messed with my vision and definitely my mood.  I became very depressed and even suicidal at times but things have gotten better since then.  I have not gained or lost any weight on the pill and still have the same appetite.  Also, It has been a great contraceptive.  :)"


"The first month was great aside from acne and stomach cramps. The second month was horrible.  On top of the acne and stomach cramps, I was very sensitive during intercourse, I was unable to sleep and had horrible dreams every night.  I also became manic-depressive, more so on the depressed side.  I did gain a little extra weight but not too much."


"Before starting birth control (about six months ago) I was really scared and nervous, I must report however, that I have seen no negative side effects and I would definitely recommend this pill. I am 17 years old and to any other teen who is thinking about going on the pill but has heard  negative things about I would like to tell you to just try it because chances are you'll see no side effects and if you do they will not be as permanent as bearing a baby. Good luck!"


"I started taking Seroquel about four years ago.  I was a severe alcoholic at the time.  I was once up to 900 mg daily.  I quit drinking over a year ago.  I switched to a new medication because of weight gain.  Latuda did nothing for me.  In addition once I was completely off Seroquel my anxiety and insomnia went through the roof.  It was so severe that my doctor put me back on Seroquel.

 I have been diagnosed with bipolar type II, generalized anxiety disorder and PTSD.  My doctor started seeing me every two weeks, and we were finally able to find my "magic dose" which is 200mg at bedtime.  He also added lithium.
I am very pleased with Seroquel.  I know that many people can't tolerate it because it is a hard drug, but for me it works great"


"I've been on 600mg along with 20mg of olanzapinne and 150mg of amitryptyline. I still get mood swings - not to the same extent as before but I still get them.  Sometimes I find it hard to be around other people because my mood reflects theirs so I try to keep away. On a couple of occasions I've been on a high and I've invited the local homeless to crash at my flat; both times I was robbed while asleep.  I'm considering Lithium as an alternative to my current medications but I don't see my psychiatrist for another month so I'll let you know then if there's any change."

"I bought a squeeze bottle 2 days ago and used it twice before the bottle opened at the seam and leaked all the solution everywhere. This is no longer a quality product and I will be using alternatives."


"I have had Skyla for 2 years now! When I very first got it it hurt like hell..... But the pain did ease up. For six months I was kinda batty too very emotional. But after the 6 months I was good! I've never had any issues with it.... I haven't had a period in a while."


"Today is only my second day on this medication, and so far I am very pleased! I only have 20lbs to lose, but was stuck and needed help getting there. I took my first 37.5 pill yesterday at 630 and had the most euphoric happy feeling! I was not jittery, just hyper. Not the sick feeling you get from caffeine. (I am not a caffeine user). I did experience some hot flashes, but only for an hour. I was very satisfied with a ViShake for breakfast and lunch. I ate a 1/2 cup of broccoli and 6oz of venison for dinner and was stuffed! I couldn't finish it! I did get the dry mouth they talk about, but as for the insomnia, it never  happened. I actually was tired and went to bed and slept my usual 7 hours! I will update in a few weeks! Love this pill!"


"I was able to use CimPay to cover my $350/month copay. I was in such total remission that it felt like I didn't even have Crohns. Loved not going to hospital for Remicade infusions and had no problems with injections or any side effects. Unfortunately, now have been exposed to TB and am positive for Latent TB Infection and must discontinue Cimzia. Abdominal pain restarted at just one week past missed dose, so have been prescribed Pentasa."


"This works for diarrhea after gall bladder removal.  I am so thankful for those of you who wrote comments, it spurred me to ask my doctor for a prescription.  All I take is two pills with breakfast a day, sometimes only one pill.  There are no side effects, and it has relieved my sometimes 5 times a day bathroom runs and given me my normal life back!"


"Made me a complete zombie. Threw them out."


"I am 14 and just started taking doxycycline after going to a doctor for acne that just started at the beginning of the year. I have been on the medicine for about a month and a half and am very frustrated because i feel like my acne has gotten worse. After reading all these reviews I am gonna stick with it and hope it will work."


"Tried for several years. Doctor kept upping how many to take each day. Got to 4 and decided it just didn't work for me."


"I am currently taking Cartia XT 120mg once a day, and it is a mixed bag for me.  I am still experiencing an elevated HR multiple times per day, and very light headed all day long.  I do not feel right at all.  I have also tried metropolol and lisinipril, having the best results from the latter, but it did not address my HR."


"I've been on this medicine for 3 months and have experienced no adverse effects. My blood pressure was 180/95 and now stays steady at 126/80. It did take a few days to adjust to it, but overall I find it beneficial."


"I tried everything from magnesium citrate to even an enema! Nothing worked until I tried dulsolax! It worked 6 hrs after I took it with lots of drinking water and it cleaned me out! I didn't take it overnight, I took it during the day while I was still active and the cramps were not too bad!"


"I started taking Ceftin for Bronchitis and I felt better within 2 days. I stayed on it for 6 weeks and my sinus condition and ETD symptoms went away after 4 years. This was a miracle for me."


"I have been on Loestrin 24 for about 7 months now and everything was fine until the 5th month. I've had dark spotting, bad cramps and cystic acne on my back. Has made me feel anxious and hungry almost all the time, have gained weight, bad cramps and worse part is I have my period every 2 weeks for about 5 days and it is heavy. I feel depressed, have mood swings, some hair loss. Doctor has switched me to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and I will see how that goes."


"I have arthitis in my lower back with spinal stenosis and an annular tear in my disc.  I was prescribed 1500mg a day. As long as I take the full amount I have no more pain, cramping in my leg or sciatica.  I have been taking half because I have dizziness and headaches. Still better than the pain."


"Made me exhausted everyday (wanted to sleep 24-7) and had changes to menstrual cycle."


"If not for Roxicodone (oxycodone) 30mg tablets I'd have unbearable back and leg pain from a disc herniation. This medicine makes the pain go away, 99.9%!

I need 90-120mg/day. I also take Aleve 440mg, once every 2 days.

I need something without acetaminophen for the health of my liver. Roxicodone has given me a life."


"Worst pill ever. This pill has caused me to be extremely moody. My boobs have gone from a 34B to a 36C and I'm tired all the time. I get headaches alot. Would not recommend getting on this pill to anyone"


"I still have pain. I gained 15 kg in one year."


"Just jumped onto subs today after using opiates for the past 14 years. I was recently taking in between 20-35 norcs/Percs a day, or around eight 30 mg roxys a day. I went in withdrawals and they gave me 8 mg of sub which made me feel better but is starting to wear off now 5 hours later. I'll prob take more now but I'm just curious if anyone who has been on pills long term has experience with subs, and how much they took. I've never done H and never will. I'm just surprised how much sub I have to take to come off norcs. I got some subs off the street about a year ago and they seemed stronger but I guess I am taking more mg/day of opiates. Thanks for the input."


"I got this birth control when I was 17. I am now 19 and I can't wait to get it out !! When I first got on it I had crazy cravings and couldn't stop eating. But no weight gain. Mood swings are horrible. I only got a period in transition to switching from the depo shot to this implant. It was the worst period ever. It lasted about a month and was constant heavy bleeding. But haven't seen one since and that's the main reason I've stayed on it. I didn't realize my steady weight gain though.. I went from 160 lbs to 215 in less than a year. So I started working out a lot more and drinking a lot more water and changing diet. Nothing is working I've only gained more weight!!"
