"this medicine definitely reduced congestion in my nose. I had not been able to breathe out of the right nostril for several days."


"I'm done with my 14 day free trial and lost 9 lbs. I'll be starting a higher dosage tomorrow.  Dry mouth The only "side effects" if you would call it that  is dry mouth."


"I've been on Bactrim for years now to control my acne. I get some breakouts but not nearly as bad as it was before.  "


"Went to the hospital for a migraine - come to find my body was toxic and had an internal infection throughout. Doctor prescribed Bactrim and by itself with no aspirin it got rid of the headache. Apparently it does the job, does it well and does it fast for ME."


"I can honestly say that Prozac works for me. This medication takes sometime to kick in to full effect and many people stop taking after they feel nothing the first week or so. That is a big mistake, if you wait the full 6 weeks you will see such a difference that it will amaze you. The way it builds in the system and it's afterlife is why it takes a while to get to optimal serum levels in the blood stream. I have battled severe depression and suicidal ideation for over 25 years now. This medication Prozac 40 mg along with Ablify 10mg have solved most of those issues. I also take Ativan 2mg as needed for severe anxiety. Talk to someone if you are having thoughts of hurting yourself or just do not know what the point of life is."


"These are magic pills. I've had my share of urinary tract infections over the years. Ciprofloxacin works for me. After taking the first pill, I feel 80% better (usually in 3-4) hours. The second pill has me at 85% better. I finish the entire dose and drink it with lots of juice. I hate water, so unfortunately telling me to drink more water is useless.
Here's some random information I've picked up over the years (based on my experience); You can drink alcohol, although I wait til on my last day of pills.
You can have sex once you start feeling better. Make sure you use the bathroom before AND after sex. No exceptions! You can sleep soundly after you've cleansed your bladder.
Don't wear thongs/g-strings so much.
Drink cranberry juice."


"Although the progress of the disease continued Indocin allowed me to live a relatively normal life for 30 years."


"I have been xolair for two months.  Wow, what a difference this has made.  I would cough all day and used my inhalers more than directed.  Now I don't cough much and don't wheeze.  I use inhalers once a day now.  Two weeks after the first shot I could tell a difference.  This is a great drug.  I do feel some tiredness with it but it is tolerable."


"I have been taking Zoloft for 10  years. I take 100 mg daily. I have found that all of my symptoms have diminished. In times real stress, I take an extra pill. All I can say is that none of the previous drugs I took helped me at all. I have depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. At age 59 I still react to anything that sounds like gunfire. I spent 33 years working for the government, 2 in the Army the rest in law enforcement. I have found that I have no issues to deal with. I did once while out of the country lose my prescription while backpacking. It was horrible for me and my two friends. I take my pill in the evening before bed. No side effects at all. I found Zoloft to be a God send for me."


"Im 36yr old woman who  has polymyostsis it been a struggle for the last 7 years ups and downs. I have relapsed very often. The acthar treatment seems to work I guess once it gets to your system. Side effects are kind of unbearable. I live everyday grateful but hoping it will go into remission. But from what my doctor says the acthar treatment help get my CPK levels under control."


"Worst topical medicine i have ever used. After applying once on my already almost healed pimples, it burnt my face, made it swollen and look way worse than it was before. Now have to roam around with a burnt face and big scars on my face. I would never ever recommend this to anyone."


"I started having seizures when I was 14 and tried several seizure medicines and nothing was working. I am now 20 and we think they could be hormonal so my Doctor put me on Jolivette and I have been seizure free for 2 months! My prayers have been answered!"


"Last year I stated taking medication (not doxycycline) and I helped very much. However, if stopped working as well before I saw any real results. I've been on doxycycline for about a month and my skin is the worst it's been in a long time (mainly on chin and cheeks) nothing I'm doing is getting rid of it and it's leaving big scars. After reading this I have decided I'm not going to give up yet. If they don't work within 2 months I will seek further advice and help."


"If it wasn't for Chantix I may not have stopped smoking as this was my last resort. In the past I've quit but only lasted several days then I went back to it. I have now completed my 3rd week and have been smoke free for the last two. Stopped smoking completely after day 5. Some of the side effects were/are slight nausea, joint pain in the hip area, strange dreams, a few "nightmares" but nothing worth stopping the program for, heartburn and burping ( i think has to do with the heartburn). I suggest drinking alot of water and stay away from coffee ( assuming you smoke with your morning coffee). I also started exercising regularly 4-5 days a week an hour and a half a day. Thank you Chantix. Good luck to you all future non smokers!!!"


"After 2 days of constipation and feeling like I had so much pressure in my head it was going to explode, I decided to take  2 pills around 8pm, I woke up to the worst cramps around 3am and within 10 mins the "fun started" off and on for 2 hrs. after everything I felt amazing. I suggest drinking 2-3 glasses of water before and after, this will help with the cramping and dehydration"


"My doctor recommended this for my morning sickness. I was desperate to control the vomiting because I needed to go to work.  I got extreme heartburn when I eat no matter what. Eating was painful. If I skipped a dose I would vomit uncontrollably. It was horrible. One day I threw up blood. I had noticed prior times that it seemed like blood spots, but I thought it was only in my head. By my 7 month of pregnancy I still felt horrible and could not get of the pills. I started to feel  chest pains. One night I woke of from the pain in my arm and chest. Very scary. I stopped taking the medicine that day."


"I can't believe reading about people taking dosages above 10 mg.  I had 3 back surgeries and 45 radiations. My entire back is rods and screws.  I never took more than 7.5mg. Twice a day.  To hear someone needs 60mg is crazy.  Unless your on your death bed. I couldn't even imagine getting more than 20mg"


"Very good for pain, but left me very foggy & nauseous, not able to do much else but sit on the couch and watch football.  The Norco hangover the next day was no fun either.  Will use only when necessary."


"I love how it makes you more focused on one thing. But it has too many bad things to it. First you have loss of hunger for a longer period of time. Then you get this bad stomach feeling like barely fainting or puking. Your muscles start to twitch and you annoying and hostile. I also feel like crying at random points and is pretty emberassing."


"I was on this pill for two months. The first couple days I couldn't stop crying...I am NOT the crying type of person, and I had constant mood swings. The following two months I gained a significant amount of weight (10 pounds) even with running and dieting. My breasts were beyond sore and I couldn't handle my husband even lightly touching them. I felt bloated the entire time and my periods were back in full force! With my previous birth control (Natazia - my insurance stopped covering), I had no period and no ovarian cysts bursting. My gynocologist recommended I get off of this pill immediately. Hopefully I will have better luck with the next!"


"I have just started Quetiapine (Seroquel) going form 25mg to 75mg now. I was previously using lithium and have gradually reduced it to 250mg, now I do not take it and have replaced with seroquel. I am concerned about the side effects at higher doses and I would like to know if anyone has gone from using lithium to seroquel as a modd stabilsier. I am doing this as I am trying to get pregnant and my doctor has told me that seroquel is a good substitute up to the 2nd trimester of a pregnancy where I would re-introduce lithium."


"I started Contrave almost one week ago. Weight loss has been about four pounds, but the thing I'm most thankful for is the reduction in the desire to eat. I had several parties to attend this past weekend and previously would have spent a lot of time in my head debating the wine and junk food before ultimately caving in. This time, it wasn't a hard decision. I didn't even want any of it. I can't tell you how relieved I feel not to have every potential meal or snack be a mental battle anymore. That alone is worth it, no matter the weight loss! Side effects have been decreased appetite and some lethargy."


"My personal experience with suboxone is good so far. I have been on prescribed Fentanyl Patch 25 much/ 48 hrs. I have dropped to this dose over the last year. (I also left the old patch on). I have been on opiates for 12 years full time prescribed. At my highest prescription I was using 180mg of Oxycodone and 180 mg of morphine per day. I have had several adjustments on medicine including extended release doses. 5 years ago I was put on 50 mug of Fanta to with 3-10 mg Oxys per day for breakthrough. I started leaving my old patches on to increase my daily dose. This last year I tapered Down to 25 mcg patches for 48 hours.( still leaving my old patches on.) I went to a doctor that prescribes Suboxone. Lucky for me my insurance pays for Suboxone. He gave me the 8/2 mg strips. I take 1/2 a strip twice a day. I was checking every forum to see how long I needed to wait to start the suboxone. The replies are all very different. Some say 16 hours, most day 24. Others say 48-36-72 hours. Yikes! How do I keep out of precipitated withdrawals! I already have withdrawals every other day on my patch!... so I removed my patch last night around 5 pm. (I already have my suboxone script at home. ) so I started feeling withdrawal symptoms coming on around 11 pm. They didn't get super intense. I checked the cows scale as many articles suggested but only scored mild.. had the stretching of limbs symptom, anxiety.. so I took a half of a strip which was the suggested dose. I took it at 12 noon today. That's only 19-20 hours. I was in withdrawals, but not the worst I have ever had. I was scared of the precipitated withdrawals I heard about. 10-15 minutes after I took it, I felt a hot sensation wash over me. Thought I would get those withdrawals, but I took a quick bath, laid down for an hour and. Is I feel pretty good. Took my withdrawals away. I still have some muscle pain, but not the kind that come from withdrawals. Suboxone stopped the withdrawals right away. No headaches or sick feeling. Not high, but even my regular dose meds haven't made me high for years... so if your guessing on when it's ok to take suboxone after opiates, and fentanyl seems to be the highest strength, then I day shoot for 24 hours. If you are not in withdrawals at 24, then wait until you are.. if you are in withdrawals before 24 hours then just wait as long as you can. You will know when it's too bad to wait anymore. You know your body... you can always take half the amount prescribed and see how it reacts if your are afraid of precipitated withdrawals. Trust me, it will stop the withdrawals within a half hour. I have not gotten the precipices withdrawals so far. Hope this helps someone. Good luck to you!"


"I was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder in the early 90's. Tried all kinds of anti-psychotic medicines, Zyprexa is the the one that has helped me the best. I feel tired and emotionless but I am pretty sure that it is better than what my family goes through when I am not on it."


"I was first given this medication many years ago.  I first got it through the military, then through my private insurance.  Then, I put in for a refill and couldn't believe how much I was charged. It became non-formulary with the military pharmacy too, I just couldn't afford it.  My doctor has tried different medications, but they don't help like they should.  I keep checking to see if a generic comes available, so MAYBE it will be formulary somewhere."


"I had a stroke (Lacunar Infarct left side of pons area ) and was placed on Eliquis 5 mg twice per day.  I began itching head to toe since April 2017.  I looked up the side effects tonight and found this site.  I am stopping this medication starting tonight!  I can’t wait  to stop ITCHING!! My skin feels like sandpaper.  I feel like I have been wearing a wool body suit.  Inside my ear canals are itching. I thought my stroke brought on cataracts-  no this drug did.  I am also suffering from insomnia and what do you know, it’s from this drug.  Restless leg syndrome, confusion, I can go on and on.  I’m stopping this drug now and will let my doc know.  I do thank Eliquis for giving me the coupon to purchase this drug for $10.00/mo.  But so sorry it is not for me."


"I am on day 8.  The only side effect I have had as of now is a headache, I have had it for about 5 days now.  I smoked about a pack a day before and I have not had a cigarette today as of yet, I did smoke twice yesterday though. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!"


"Metformin has side effects like diarrhea, WHEN I have sugar (regular sugar, fructose and artificial sugar - it does not care). Eat poorly, guaranteed to have diarrhea. Also headaches if sugar spikes quickly, again food choices do this. If I just really want a bite of pizza or candy bar, I eat healthy (lots of vegetables and salad, protein) with NO processed foods, NO breads/pasta/potatoes/rice, and at end of meal have 1-2 bites Savor and stop. I give myself a treat ONCE a month. Keep sugars down to 80-130 by diet and one Metformin 500mg a day. Eat too much at a meal, walk or exercise to burn the carbs. Burn too much and you get shaky or a headache. Water is key too. Water pulls sugar down (dilutes and flushes it out of the fat cells."


"Hi, It's been 2 months I'm using this cream at night with Cetogly face wash as suggested by a skin specialist whom I visited for acne. And I would say that the result is satisfactory. Doctor prescribed me some tablets as well along with this cream. I would suggest use it only if suggested by a skin specialist because we all have different skin types and different reasons for acne. Hope u understand that skin is a very sensitive & important physical thing so we shouldn't do any experiment with it :)

Thanks"


"I have taken both the generic and Synthroid for 10 years, trying desperately to stop the hair loss. Three months ago my endocrinologist switched me to NP and within 3 weeks my hair stopped falling out. I do still have very dry skin, but otherwise I feel good."


"I went on Beyaz 3 months ago and just finished the third pack. I was noticing that I was always tired, nauseous,  bloated, stomach pains, and eating all the time. I too thought I was in the early stages of pregnancy because of these symptoms. I started taking the pill because of horrible period cramps that would make me so sick and incapable of doing anything, it helped. Then I started getting really depressed out of nowhere, feeling sad for no reason, trapped in my own body and then that led to anxiety attacks and anxiety about when is the next time I will have this terrible feeling again. Because of that and not being able to sleep I am done with this pill! Thanks to everyone for sharing, I feel comforted to know I wasn't going crazy."


"Migraines and more migraines. I was getting up to 4 migraines a month to the point I started a headache log. I never put two and two together until I mentioned my frequent migraines to my doctor and he told me to go off Trinessa immediately, as it may cause stroke during migraine. Alarming, to say the least.

I wasn't convinced that my migraines were related to Trinessa, but now that I've been off it for well over a month with zero migraines, I know that was the cause.

I suppose it did its job in regard to the cysts (I have a hysterectomy, so I didn't need it for BC reasons), but the migraines and decreased sex drive were no fun at all. I was blaming hormones, but I was mistaken."


"Terrible. Nothing but bleeding since day one and I've had it for 7 months. I fed up with it and getting it removed."


"I have been taking Keppra for 4 1/2 years, after head trauma from an auto accident caused me to have a seizure while in hospital.  I have experienced some minor occurances of side effects, but nothing compared to the problem I experienced while taking Dilantin, which caused me to lose my ability to reason, and to express myself, i.e. Dilantin made me an apparent idiot.  My greatest annoyance with Keppra is the rise in cost- 46% over these past 4 1/2 years."


"I have gone through alot of medications so far and I am completely frustrated with the extended release medications. I was so happy to start my son on Vyvanse because of the advertisement stating it last for 12  hours. Not so, it last probably 5 hours, why take extended medication if you have to give an afternoon dose? He has been on up to 70 mg of Vyvanse for a year now and I am thinking of switching him to a different medication. Vyvanse does take care of his hyperactivity but, the lack of attention and defiance is still there.  Also, the medication takes 90 minutes to kick in. The doctor told me to give him a booster dose (10 mg. of Adderall) with the Vyvanse to kick in earlier, does not work. "


"I have suffered from dry itchy skin most of my life until some years ago when my dermatologist recommended this urea cream. Since I started to use it the relief has been remarkable and I have been horrified to find that the manufacturers no longer supply the cream and have replaced it with a sticky lotion.  Their reason for this is hard to understand as the cream was much easier to apply and I now am looking for a replacement cream."


"This birth control has done me wonder. Yes it effects people entirely different. Some people bleed the entire time, some people's mental health can be affected by it, but it's rare for that. Just like any birth control you can lose weight or gain weight. It can make you Moody or not. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE PERSON. For me I had no issues. August 2017 will be three years and I still have yet to get pregnant on this birth control.  If I was back on the pill, I would have been a teen Mom already. I recommend it but it's not for everyone."


"I have been on Synthroid for over 8 years and have actually gained weight. I have a very healthy lifestyle (exercise for one hour 5 days a week, and eat healthy), but nothing has been working. My endocrinologist consistently increases my prescription and nothing changes. Next time I see her I am going to get on Armour. "


"I have been on this pill for about a month and on my second week I am bloated, never hungry, have mood swings and don't want to get out of bed in the mornings. Also I started light bleeding like when you are coming off your period."


"If I could give this a 0 I would. I had this for 7 mths and for the 7 mths, i bleed the who time except maybe 4 to 5 days out of the 7 mths. they put me on the pill to thinking that it would stop the bleeding but it did not. I ended up getting it out and when they took it out it took them 2 and a half hours to take it out because it was difficult to find and it was rapped around the tendons in my arm. After getting it taken out my whole arm was bruised for 2 months after that and I had regular periods."


"I've been on Bactrim for years now to control my acne. I get some breakouts but not nearly as bad as it was before.  "


"Works every time within one hour. Insurance only allows 8 per month - sometimes not enough."


"I've had Implanon for the full three years. I am scheduled to have it replaced in a couple of weeks. I've had no problems with it. Compared to previous attempts at birth control my temperament and mood swings have leveled out. My sex drive comes and goes. My weight went up 30lbs and now I'm back down to my original weight. I had sporadic periods for the first couple of months, light and short, then I didn't have another one for two years. About 6-8 months before it was time to replace it I started having regular monthly periods again. They were light and short still but on a regular monthly basis.  The only complaint I have had with it is that the implant "pokes" at the skin sometimes and makes it itch, but nothing worse or longer than a mosquito bite."


"I just started on this birth control. I switched from Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo. Unfortunately I have horrible acne on my back and some on my face, especially during that time of the month. Since I started taking this birth control, I have noticed the acne on my back is starting to clear up. My face is getting better also. I noticed I'm not as hungry either. I haven't experienced crazy mood swings or depression even if I did, I'd probably stick it out because I've had back acne since I was 16 years old and I'm 21 now. I'm ready for my back to look normal again. I recommend this pill."


"Took this medication for over 6 months with no discernable difference in BS. No side effect, however on Medicare the charges increase to over $ 500.00 per month in the  Doughnut Hole - without a discount available. Stopped taking it after reading some very negative reviews of this Drug and the Approval Process."


"I started taking Adipex on November 17, 2009. It is now January 25, 2010. I have to admit when I first started taking Adipex I felt like I was on straight speed. I couldn't sleep, eat, or concentrate. I still have bad mood swings and get upset very easily. I have no problem sleeping that wore off the 3rd week, I tend to get hungry later in the afternoon. I was taking a half of pill the first month. I take one pill a day now and do great except for my mood swings. My starting weight was 165lbs. I now weigh 138lbs. That's a weight loss of 27lbs. I still have 8lbs to go. I exercise 5 days a week on the treadmill for 30 minutes each time. If you are really wanting to lose weight and can overlook the side effects this is the pill! Good Luck!!"


"I've had horrible traumas happen when I was younger that still haunt me. I wake up shaking and can't sleep on my own. I've been on Seroquel, Buspar, and Vistaril. None helped. My doctor finally prescribed Ativan and it has worked wonders! I feel great, don't wake up shaking, can actually sleep, and feel calm. Love it."


"Good medicine. I'm allergic to Lamictal so this is my best option, Depakote causes constant depression."


"Strattera works great. I am able to focus and am able to do more tasks at once, which my job requires. I am now able to sit down for more than 10 minutes at a time and read, write, and study for my college classes. The only thing that bothers me is that I sometimes forget to take my dose of medication. Other than this instance, I am able to function better as a person!"


"6 months ago I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries. I was put on this upon diagnosis. Periods went from maybe 4 unbelievably heavy periods a year lasting about 8-12 days. To completely regular periods, very light and lasting about 2-4 days.  Honestly haven't had any severe problems. The most obvious effect on me would have to be the sore breasts and enlargement. No acne other than the occasional pimple. Ultimately, I would recommend."


"Most subtle of the benzos i have tried.  Made me sleepy the first hour or two, but then stabilized anxiety and mood for about 6 hours.  Much longer lasting than it is given credit for.  Good PRN medication.  Other benzos cause some moodiness or depression even.  Although I think Lorazepam can, it is much smoother than others.  It again is too sedating for many people though.  I liked it about as good as Clonazepam, it is better than Valium IMO."


"My PCP prescribed Serzone for me after I described typical symptoms of depression. As an RN I didn't want to feel "medicated" & never did. This medicine gave me back  myself. I was on it for about 4 yrs then switched to Paxil for about 2 yrs and then taken off all together. I haven't been on any medicines for depression in 7 yrs as my divorce is long over & I am well healed - Amen! I would recommend Serzone   regular lab work & doctor's care. Also, talk therapy helps too!"


"I'm pregnant with my first child. Had my Pap smear and sadly, results came back with the C word. I freaked out. I always looked at anyone with STDs are nasty diseased gross people. Oops. I'm one now. So I took the 250mg dose where you take two the first day then one the next four days. Let me tell you. I THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A MISCARRIAGE THE PAIN WAS SO INTENSE. Eat before you take it. I didn't. It didn't say to on the box?! I thought I was about to give birth. Well I mean the next day was like birth giving out the other end... Anyways, tomorrow is my last pill and I don't know if it's working or not being I had no symptoms in the beginning. Hope everything comes back good next time! Don't have sex."


"Good."


"Worst psychiatric drug I've ever taken. I've had bad side effects from regular SSRI's, so I was put on Mirtazapine 30mg. It knocked me out and turned me into a depressed zombie. I had SEVERE sedation, confusion, and dizziness which lasted all of next day. This continued for 4 days. It also made me extremely suicidal and I had to get an emergency Ketamine infusion which instantly lifted my depression and suicidal thoughts. Never taking this again."


"I have taken Fiorinal since I was 19 and I am 56 now, and it has helped not only with severe tension headaches but with toothaches, strep throat, and other pain over the years and I reccomend it to anybody suffering from headaches."


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I have osteomyelitis of temporal bone. In the hospital for 1 wk, sent home on IV Vancomycin & Cephrine. After 4 wks back to Hospital for chills & fever.  In for a wk, low blood & increased iron...all due to IV.  Sent home on Zyvox & Levaquin for 30 days, hoping infection has cleared (will find out after finish meds). Side effects: nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, cannot eat as nothing taste right, GERD, pressure in the sterum area, extremely tired, short of breath, yeast infection, insomnia, muscle & joint aches, emotional and today red spots on skin.  Needless to say I feel horrible! Hopefully this will all be over soon but don't feel I will ever be the same. If this works then it's an amazing, wonderful drug.  However, it's very expensive. Thank goodness for patient assistance!"


"I loved the shot. I started the shot at the age of 16 and continued until I was 20. Yes you will bleed the first three months but mine was regular like my period from what I remember with a lil spotting in between. After three months my period was gone. Due to me being on it so long it took two years for my period to return which I didn't mind and I conceived about 4 moths after that. I'm now a full time mother of one beautiful healthy baby girl and have moved on to IUD Nexa due to me not wanting any more children and it being every three years. But honesty I loved the shot and only had weight gain."


"I had been suffering from acne since puberty that progressively got worse as I aged. After trying every product on the shelves and still having no relief from the very painful acne around my chin. My dermatologist recommended this product and my skin has never been better. I will admit it took 3-6 weeks before I really noticed any changes but sticking to this product has not only treated all of my acne it also helped with the scarring. I have even stopped wearing foundation all together and receive many compliments on my complexion. My regimen is to wash and moisturize my face twice daily and apply the product nightly."


"I've been on every medicine. I've had electroshock therapy. Medications don't really work for me very well. I'm only taking Lithium ER 450 mg right now cos my body can't handle more of it. I was taking Topamax for headaches, I thought, but my psychiatrist said it might help my mood. Been taking it for years. I didn't know that it did work for me until I stopped using it. I broke into a manic episode because I started taking that Garcinia weight loss thing, and I wasn't on the Topamax. Well, I guess Topamax DOES work. "


"About 2 weeks ago my Dr put me on Lipitor for my cholesterol. I've been having all kinds of side effects from it but I didn't realize it until today, I've been beside myself with itching, I keep getting these stinging sensations, like I'm being attacked by a colony of fire ants, I'm prone to insomnia (very severe) and it made it so much worse, despite the fact that I have been feeling I was coming down with something serious (constantly exhausted). I've even developed blisters in my NOSE! and I have the red spots it's insane. No joke I seriously have about 80% of the listed side effects even the unreported and rare. I hope no one ever has to deal with this craziness."


"Going on 8 weeks after a synvisc one injection and the constant pain is now 10 times WORSE than before. my quality of life is horrible due to pain caused by shot. I have osteoarthritis in knee, nothing like the kind of pain I am in now. READ ALL THE REVIEWS BEFORE YOU GET THIS DONE"


"I started taking this medication since I was 18 years old on and off. Let me put it in simple terms it is highly addictive. Yes it cured my anxiety but temporary only as long as I was on it. Miss a day and you want to crwal out of your own skin. The withdrawls are horrendous. Xanax just masks the problem. As soon as I got back on it my brain just wants it and thats all I think about. Valarian root is healthier and natural think twice before taking Xanax. Go for natural products if you can."


"This may be an isolated incident, but I only took this medication for 6 weeks and had horrible memory loss. I was unaware that there is a 44% chance of memory loss with this medication. I am trying to work my way back to my old self, who used to have a photographic memory. I highly suggest if you have severe anxiety like I do, do not take this medication."


"Been on 0.1mg three times a day for 10 days now and it has made a HUGE difference in my detox from heroin, oxycodone, and hydromorphone. Almost completely eliminated the agitation and restlessness which has always been my personal least favourite symptom of opiate withdrawal. I highly recommend anyone suffering from an addiction akin to mine to talk to a doctor about getting on it, I finally let my family doctor know about my 3 years of on and off use of various opiates and it was his first suggestion. I am also on propranolol and amitryptiline which I started at the same time as the clonidine. The only downsides I have experienced are a certain degree of daytime drowsiness and blood pressure drops upon standing up after lying down."


"I have been taking Seroquel For a while now, A side from being extremely hungry when I wake up, groggy, and the weight gain. It is a really good sleep aid. I am currently on 200mg. Not only am I less stressed and anxious but it slows me down to a point where I can actually think clearly rather than having racing thoughts and it tones down the late night activity greatly. I still work out and am very active but it is a lot less extreme thanks to Seroquel."


"Got it in Feb. '13(19 yrs) bc I had really heavy periods. Seen a lot of mixed reviews about insertion pain. I did not feel anything during insertion & only had a slight achy pain in my arm after for a week. If the procedure is done right, you should notfeel anything. If u do, tell your Dr! I had maybe 2 or 3 days of spotting & after that nothing!! I've always had depression/anxiety so honestly can't say either way if this is normal. I have gained a significant amount of weight since, however my dr pointed out that I had been rapidly gaining weight before(thanks college!). I ALWAYS had perfect skin & now I struggle badly w/ acne so this could have been a side effect. Just remember, every women is diff. discuss the decision throughly w/ ur Dr."


"Took the two tablets and felt really sick with in a hour and half was violently dry sick and shaking"


"I didn't experience any severe itching or burning at all with this stuff.  On the first night about and hour after I put the ovule in I got really itchy for about 10 minutes, but then it went away. I just took the last dose and my yeast infection symptoms are gone for the most part.  I dunno....don't get too freaked out by the bad reviews. The anxiety over the possible pain was worse than the medication itself lol."


"Moved from levemir to basaglar as my insurance "Discovery Medical Aid" won't cover levemir. Been using basaglar for about 3 weeks now. It's been horrible so far. It appears to peak after 10 hours so that made it unpredictable given how they say it should work. I halved the dose to counter the hypo's but now sugars are higher than usual any other time. I feel out of focus and dizzy.  My chest feels "fluish".  I am considering going back to levemir and paying the large copayment."


"There was a history in my family or anxiety and panic attacks, but I had never experienced it until I was 55 (3 years ago).  When it hit me, it hit me hard.  It truly was the worst experience in my life. I went from being Mr. Optimistic to worrying about every ache and pain in my body.  It was a living hell.  When my doctor realized what was going on with me, he put me on 20mg of Paxil.

I must say the first week on it was very difficult, but I believe it's because I wasn't told or didn't hear him tell me to take half a pill for the first week.  After about 2 weeks or so, I woke up one morning and absolutely felt like I was on cloud 9.  Not because it made me high, but because I felt normal again!  I am now on 40mg and still feeling great!"


"I am 56 year old woman with knee osteoarthritis  (in both knees)  I get euflexxa injections every 6 months.  They help me tremendously. By the time 5 months comes around,  I can tell I'll be needing them soon.   If it can buy me time with getting these two bad knees getting replaced,  I am thankful! "


"Every time I use Flonase it enhances my symptoms to a greater and almost debilitating level. My eyes become red, inflamed, and watery. My nose runs more. My throat becomes red and sore. I am not sure if I am allergic to an ingredient in the spray or not, but it does not provide any relief. Only makes the ones I have multiply."


"Excellent for long lasting relief on minimal dosage.  Rarely causes weakness/sleepiness, but does not give the user euphoria."


"Pneumonia cough was non-stop - gave almost instant relief - last 4 hrs and worked when other cough meds didn't - did make me sleep

alot and groggy. - doesn't end the cough altogether but gives you rest from it."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"Just to counter all the fear here. On day 8, Zero side effects other than feeling that my gi function is actually feeling better.  Pain to take all the pills , omeprazole morning and night before meals, others four times a day after meals containing mostly carbs.  And Florastor twice a day, only pro biotic not killed by treatment.  Thought perhaps mostly people with bad experiences post, thought some light could be helpful ."


"I have taken Accutane twice. It cleared up my face and body acne. I had severe cystic acne. I took Accutane for 5 months the first time and 3 months the second time. I have had clear skin for 2 years. Drug changed my life and helped with my self esteem tremendously. I had very bad acne. I do not recommend this drug if you have mild acne."


"Take it for nerve damage. It's really good."


"Vesicare was working but the side effect (dry mouth) was severe. I have to stop taking it."


"I thought this was a good product however I am swollen and burning in my vaginal area. I encourage you to try another regimen."


"I have been on Qsymia for exactly one week. I have been counting calories (consuming between 1000-1200 calories per day) and have lost 12 pounds. I have no real desire to eat. I have noticed that Diet Coke with Splenda tastes odd to me (not a diet soda drinker otherwise). I do not feel jittery & have not experienced any other side effects. I am very pleased."


"I'm struggling with sciatica pain with makes me barely  walking. I'm on 900mg 3 times a day and gaba doesn't make any different at all... still in massive pain and in my opinion is just worse... doesn't do trick for me so I need to visit my GP to find different solution.. but that just me everybody are individual..."


"Works great, but soooo expensive!"


"I think it's great. I've been doing it for about 11 years, and it's one of the only medicine for insomnia that work for me."


"I got the nexplanon October 22nd of 2015 and I spotted for a month and hadn't had a period since. I had bruising in the insertion area for 3 weeks. The first couple of months I had a killer migraine nearly every day they eventually stopped. As I hit my first year mark I began getting pregnancy symptoms so I took a few tests even went to the doctor and I wasn't thankfully but turns out all my side effects (nausea, sensitive smell, weight gain, mood swings, excessive sleeping, and even frequent urination) were due to the nexplanon. I finally got it removed January 16th of 2017."


"I started taking Exalgo about 3 weeks ago after 20+ years of trying every other opiate and non-opiate pain med with little to no relief, especially once I became immune to them. I've been on disability since 2010 and been seeing a PM doc since about 2009 and in March he talked to me about trying an IR. I researched my insurance and when I saw him in April we decided on Exalgo 24mg per day with 15mg roxi backer. They seem to be working ok, but doc told me to take both 12mg caps in the am together which I did for about a week until I read here that others were taking them at 12 HR intervals  so I tried that and it seems as tho they are causing me to not sleep. I have been waking up about 4/4:30am every day since.  Anyone else having issues?"


"I have taken this medicine for 15 years.  My pain is up and down depending on life's circumstances.  It helps me fall asleep but the quality of my sleep is still poor.  I have tried several times to withdraw from it or to change medications.  I have never been able to because I end up not sleeping at all."


"It works great for me. Took time to work. With relaxing and staying away from chemicals it worked."


"I've been DM Type 2 for 15 years and in the last 2 years taking Levemir, Novolog and Janumet.  My last A1c was 9.1.  I started having abdominal upset and diarrhea from the Metformin in the Janumet, so my Doctor took me off of  Janumet  He started me on once weekly Trulicity (.75 mg) 2 weeks ago.  Already I've seen significant changes in my blood sugars: 110-140 (fasting) and 85-170 (post meals). As a result, I'm taking 1/2 the dosage of Levemir and less Novolog prior to meals.  I'm hoping to come off insulin.  After starting Trulicity, I had some upper abdominal soreness and stomach cramping, but those symptoms have improved.  I have NOT had any diarrhea or nausea.  My appetite has decreased because I feel full all the time.  So far so good!"


"I had unprotected sex while on my birth control pills not realizing that the anti biotic I am on would counteract with it considering it usually says it on the bottle. However, after I started panicking the very next morning (less than 24 hours) I went and bought the plan b pill from my local drug store for 50$. I did not feel anything after taking it but 24 hours afterwards I felt nauseous, and my stomach felt upset. After that passed, my period was supposed to come 3 weeks later it....my breasts became very sore, and I broke out really bad. All symptoms of my period. So 4 days before my period was supposed to start I got my period!!! I was ovulating, and over the "weight limit" be patient and WAIT!"


"Citalopram has proved extremely effective at helping me overcome severe anxiety. I am a 42 year old male on 20 mg a day in the morning. I am on week five, having come off a severe benzodiazepine addiction and prior to that Alcohol addiction, all to cope with anxiety. This SSRI really works. I have not suffered from anxiety in any but the slightest form since I started on the medicine. I recommend it very highly."


"Melatonin does not help me at all. I tried many times with 6 mg, no help to my sleep. Next time, I will try 9 mg."


"I just started taking phentermine  as of 01/12/16 my weight is 191 and I am 29 yrs old. My goal is to loose 65 pds! Well for this 3 days so far I have a lot of energy and my cravings for food have dropped. I work in a sit down job all day and sometimes were slow and so I eat all day to keep me from boredom. I been working out for 30 mins because I actually have the energy to do it and watch what I eat. It is great to eat small amount and feel satisfied I have not been able to do this since I was a teenager. I definitely have dry mouth all day so I carry water with me everywhere and a little jittery at times but I feel it is worth it. I will post back in a month  to report my success."


"I bought this gel a few years ago and stopped using it as it wasn't that effective on my skin. However recently I started applying this along with a few other products and it was great. For me, I find it most effective when I apply it twice a day on the painful cystic pimple (normally on my nose). I wash the acne prone areas on my face with a wash that has salicylic acid 2%, then use a toner with witch hazel or a cotton pad soaked with pure green tea. I apply retinoid, let it sink in and then I apply Epiduo on those areas. I think it's important to use it as spot treatment if you're overly sensitive like me. If you're feeling dry I apply a cream with hydrocortisone over it at the end. My pimple bump disappeared in two days."


"I was on a generic low dose pill for several months after having a baby, but they made me an emotional mess so I switched to Loestrin. In the emotions department, everything was great on Loestrin. I was my normal, happy self. However I had to stop taking the pill because it gave me horrible tension headaches. I had to lay in the dark for several hours to get the headache to go away then had neck and back pain for a week afterwards. Not ideal while trying to take care of a baby. "


"Lortab 10 helps my back for about 4 to 6 hours."


"This medicine really helped me get in remission about 6 years ago. I'm still taking it as a maintenance drug- but I have been flaring up for the past 2 years while taking it. Prednisone has been my savior as far as the flaring up. Next step...Remicade. We will see how it goes!"


"Pros:

Cleared up my moderate/severe acne

Got rid of terrible cramps

Cons:

No sex drive at all

I primarily went on this pill to clear up my adult acne. I would love this pill if it didn't completely kill my sex drive. I've given it almost four months and  I'm going to be looking into another pill."


"This birth control made me have my period every other week, and when I wasn't on it there was still spotting, which made me crazy emotional."


"I am 80 years and have been taking this drug for 7 years without problems, it kept my platelets around 600,000. Then I developed open sores on my fingers. A blister would form, pop, and then the sore would be exposed and wouldn't heal for weeks. After that I developed wounds on my ankles. I developed  3 open, non-healing ulcers on my ankles that were so painful I had to go to the hospital. All the while my hematologist, my primary doctor and all the hospital doctors shook their heads and said they didn't know what was wrong. Then my son did a google search and found that these horrible skin ulcers and sores were a rare side effect of the hydroxyurea! I am now off the drug and with a new hematologist and a new drug Jakafi."


"The drug seems to work but it made me so dopey and sleepy that I couldn't take it. It made me feel like I was on actual drugs. Disappointing."


"I take this 20 MG a day along with Carbamazepine  (tegratol/equetro). The two medicines together really make me feel "normal". I don't feel like a zombie. I feel a bit of euphoria on this. This is a good thing, but I can see how that can make some people become dependant on it. However, I feel great on this. I feel a tiny bit tired but I'm not sure if it is one of my meds or my 3 kids tiring me out. Otherwise,  no major side effects. Maybe some issues with vaginal dryness but lubricant helps. Doesn't kill my libido the way some antipsychotics can."


"Couldn't live without this OTC.  It works 90% of the time to completely get rid of my migraine headaches."


"I have been on so many drugs I lost count and cannot remember all the names. Lamictal has really improved my life. My mood swings have diminished and my depressive episodes have nearly gone away. I have a couple of year now and they don't last nearly as long. I also don't get suicidal anymore. So much gratitude for this medication. I'm on 100 mg right now and when I had my last depressive episode my doctor wanted me to increase my dose but it has a tendency to make me feel out of it and unable to experience any range of emotion really. I just try to make it through the depressive episodes instead."


"DO NOT TAKE THIS IF YOU HAVE ANXIETY OR A PANIC DISORDER. at first I loved the stuff. I had the drive to actually get out of bed and do stuff. I exercised often, lost weight, became more social. However, I suffer from anxiety and after awhile, the medication made it 1000x worse. I suffered panic attacks weekly. It's just not worth it for those who have anxiety."


"I would not recommend this birth control to anyone. I just finished my second pack and ended up in the emergency room after bleeding for 8 days straight with the heaviest period of my life. I am used to heavy periods because I have endometriosis but this was the worst along with very painful cramps. I ended up with a huge cyst on my left ovary. Other side effects I have had are terrible anxiety and depression. The first month I was so sick to my stomach and could hardly eat. My breast have been swollen and so sore the last two months worse then both my pregnancies. The worst symptom is I have been so irritable and hateful which is not me at all. I just want to feel like myself again!"


"Was in a head on collision which ended in 5 foot surgeries.  Eventually fusing hind foot. Took Norco 10/325...have been on them for 2 years and couldn't walk without them."


"I just start taking levora am wondering if the bad feeling is gonna go away. In the mornings when I brush my theeth I feel like I want to vomit  It gives me the feeling as if am pregnant and am waiting to see if this is gonna continue else I really have to stop taking it"


"I had unprotected sex and he didn't pull out, to be blunt. I took this medication a day after and I got my period about a week and a half later, don't panic ladies! You don't need voodoo from the Internet to feel relief!"


"I have been using Xulane for around 10 months. For the first seven months the birth control worked great! I noticed that I was much easier to get along with, periods were on a schedule, and my breasts appeared bigger! I didn't experience the weight gain or hardly any negative side effects. The most annoying thing was that the patch would sometimes fall off.

Fast forward to three months, I am bloated all the time and experienced a weight gain of about 15 pounds. I literally cannot stop crying and tend to bust out in tears at even a sad thought. The worst part is the mood swings. I finally decided enough was enough and threw them away. I will be requesting the birth control pill next time I am at the doctor."


"I must say that the pill worked well in doing it's job to clear the yeast infection. But, I went through horrible side effects. Continuous irritation of the vaginal area. I think I was just allergic to the medication! But for everyone else, thumbs up! That's if you are not allergic to it."


"I took invokana for 9 months after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes last December. I also changed my eating habits, no junk ,no fried foods, no soda, no sweets and low carb. I lost 47 pounds not sure how much the invokana helped with that .  I did get a wicked yeast infection that never went away .  After researching invokana and realizing how bad some of the side effects can be (kidney cancer or kidney failure), I asked Dr to take me off it, he did as long as I'm keeping blood sugar down in normal range . It's been 3 months and so far I'm controlling it with diet and exercise. I test my own blood sugar every day and its in normal range. I'd rather do it this way as long as I can. Invokana wasn't worth the risk, rather try metformin."


"Did not work for me,the stomach nausea was to much as I already had severe nausea issues, there might have been initially feeling of energy,but it didnt seem to last.I took it for three weeks, not good enough to continue a drug like this."


"I have been using fentanyl on and off for about 4 years. I had spinal fusion done on L2-L5 also out of the 8 screws in my back the doctors left one of the screws with the sharp point on it so it jabs into my back muscle. I have tried every pain medicine on the market and have to say fentanyl works the best. I no longer wake up from pain. It is in my opinion the best pain medication available on the market. I used to have to get it off the streets because no doctor believed I was in pain (I am in my 30's) now I finally found a doctor who prescribes it to me,  God bless him for it. I'm using 50mcg every 48 hrs. I still get a little pain after any activity that stresses my back so might ask to try 75mcg but I am glad I have these patches."


"I originally had the implanon implant, after a great experience and another baby I decided to go for round two with implanon. However, the latest, greatest version of implanon was given to me, Nexplanon. I had it inserted at 3 months pp. I assumed that my mood swings and general bitchiness was related to being pp. This, I discovered was not the case as it continued until it was removed. My daughter is almost 2 years old now and I have recently had it removed and switched to paraguard. Aside from all the side effects that I had which included (but not limited to) night sweats, acne, and weight gain/inability to lose weight-worked out often, ate well, baby weight would not come off,I would suggest it as it is effective at preventing pregnancy"


"I've never commented before online about my success or otherwise with drugs but I just had to with this one. IT HAS BEEN AMAZING. I realised today I'm actually glad to be alive."


"I've been on Zanaflex for about 6 months now. At first it helped me sleep through the night but now I only get about 4 hours. I would not recommend taking in the day time because it seems to make you feel funny in the head if you don't go to sleep, and also have very vivid dreams on this."


"This is my first time taking birth control and I haven't noticed any changes that are significant enough to make me stop. I was a little worried about taking it because of the bad reviews on here but the only side effects I've noticed are a little bit of dizziness in the first week or so that I start a new pack nothing sitting breathing deeply and drinking water can't fix... (also occurs mostly when I'm hungry) my sense of smell is heightened, I would mention some weight gain butttt I've had some changes in my life while beginning birth control that can contribute to that one being a worse diet annnnd the weight gain is not big my pants fit a tighter that's all..everything else is normal pimples here and there light-med. period."


"I take 12 mg per day. Side effects are minimal - slight nausea, slight diarrhea, loss of appetite, insomnia. I'm also taking NuVigil to deal with any sedation, and Ambien for the insomnia. I feel like a stable, grounded human being again!"


"I have been getting migrainea since I was 8 years old and nothing seems to help. I started taking Maxalt 10mg for a while now and not effective at all. It feels like I'm taking a sugar pill. Although when I do take it I get very dizzy. Personally I don't recommend it but if it helps for you I say go for it!"


"I'm 22 years old and I took a generic version of this pill on 08/10, about 12 hours after we had unprotected sex. It's now been 9 days since I took the pill and voila my period came a week earlier than scheduled. Yay! My period came different somewhat lighter and no cramping. HOWEVER, this pill gave me an absolute nightmare I had a TERRIBLE migrane with nausea for 2 days I almost drove myself to the hospital!! Also I had mild cramping on and off before I got my period. Ladies this pill works if used correctly don't have sex right after and expect for it to work that's why it's called the MORNING AFTER PILL! P.S. I am 150 lbs and 5 feet tall and still worked for me. :)"


"I was on many anti-depressants and none of them helped with my suicidal thoughts except lithium. Some medications I was on made me better, but very flat and emotionless. For me, lithium only takes the sharp edges off the bad emotions and leaves room for good (but not manic) ones. I had slight hand tremors for about a year after starting this, which was annoying but not incapacitating. They are gone now. I also gained about 10 pounds during the first few months, but lost it easily and I am now lighter than when I started. People used to tell me: Oh you'll gain so much weight, but it is mostly water weight because you get very thirsty. Overall, my quality of life is much, much better. Also you can safely stay on lithium for years."


"I have been taking prevacid for 20 years.  I have had numerous side effects in the last 5 years, migraine headaches, major memory loss, blurred vision, heart palpitations, and most of the side effects listed I have.  I have taken this medication as I have severe acid reflux and when I stop I have instant reflux, but my side effects are getting worse, so I have to try something different or I fear this medication may end my life."


"I take Cialis 20 mg at least 12 hour before sex surprisingly is more effective the I take it 3-4 hours before. I eat, drink couple of alcohol drinks too but it works all the time. Changed my sex life."


"Been on all sorts of meds for depression for about 15 years. I am 41 now and just started taking Abilify about 8 days ago. I started feeling better after 3 days. I have more energy and just feel so much better. I hope this helps. This medicine really works."


"I have been experiencing major depression and suicidal thoughts. It got to the point that all I wanted to do everyday is stay in bed, not eat, check my blood pressure all day to make sure I'm not having a aneurysm or stroke. I take the problems of my patients and relate them to myself so in case I get the symptoms they had before having a medical emergency. I start to panic and lose my appetite, etc. I also suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I've seen a psychologist, who was helpful but once I left it was hard for me to focus on the things we talked about due to my daily repetitive ritual of stressing and being depressed. I've been on Prozac for 2 weeks 10 mg - have all the side effects but seems to be a break through. I'll see after a month."


"Apparently helps my a-fib, but causes bad bruising and bleeding from minor wounds.  I also have bad heart burn and take antacid frequently. This happens while I'm eating, after, and also when my stomach is empty. A friend who tried Xarelto had the same problem, which makes me think it's from the medicine, or at least it made it worse. This causes me lots of pain and discomfort, but I don't know if another blood thinner would be the same."


"I'm 20 years old, and I had severe cystic acne after my dermatologist gave me trentinoin. It was so bad but I switched to another dermatologist because of my insurance and she gave me Aczone and Ziana with Solodyn pills. My skin is so clear and soft, it's unbelievable. I only have some dryness around my mouth, but besides that my skin is the best it's ever been and I never thought I'd ever be writing a review about something actually working."


"4th day. Been on every anti depressant available.

I feel it already. I feel better and I'm hopeful. No side effects really. I had a little nausea and gas and a little stomach ache first couple of days. But I'm ready to feel better. If this doesn't help I give up!!!"


"hi i used this ear wax removal Debrox and know I cant get rid of the ringing first in one ear, now in both this is relly bothering me and I don't know what to do about the ringing  HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "


"I started taking hydroxyzine about 3 months ago. At first it worked great but recently I can fall asleep more easily then I could with Seroquel. However, I only get about 2-3 solid hours of sleep then I wake up wide awake at 4 am  I'm not sure if my body isn't used to it because I was on Seroquel 8 years."


"Been taking fluoxetine for about 6 months. It has been wonderful, I simply do not worry about things that used to bother me all the time. The only down sides I am experiencing are that I've lost a lot of weight, and that I don't feel emotions nowhere near as strongly as before, for example, my mother passed away, and while it was a very sad time, it just didn't upset me as it should have done.  I would strongly recommend this medicine, though."


"I just started taking Soma, and now get an uninterrupted good night's sleep. I also notice that I have fewer muscle spasms in my legs."


"I was on levothyroxine for over 30 years.  This past year i felt like I had been hit by a bus when I woke up in the morning.  No energy to do anything, aches and pains in hips, legs and shoulders.  I went to my doc and asked her to change my medication to Nature Throid  after hearing about it from a friend who has Hoshimoto's.  Thankfully my doc agreed and after a few days, my energy was back, the aches and pain are gone.  I finally feel human again.  I had no side effects.  I wish this drug was available years ago.  My levo was expensive for a 90 day supply with insurance ($40), now it is only $17 for the same 90 day supply of Nature-Throid."


"This is the worst birth control pill I have ever used. I have taken it regularly daily and have bled for nearly three weeks with awful cramping. Plus the nausea was so overwhelming. My appetite has been nonexistent. My period came very regularly before going on Seasonique, every 28 days. But to bleed before the yellow pills and for nearly a month? I was checked out by my obgyn and there is no cause for this but this pill is not a good fit for me."


"Be 100% sure all opiates and methadone are completely out of your system, I had taken 60 mgs of methadone 6 days before I got my shot, I told my doctor up front, and I am not a chronic methadone user, maybe used it 4-5 times in the span of 2 months when hydrocodone wasn't available. It threw me into the worst withdrawals of my life. And I have had severe withdrawal in the past but this was so very intense unlike anything, for 2 days straight. The doc said it would be fine at 6 days but he was wrong, 15 min after injection I went into full fledge withdrawal, severe cramps, spasms, fever, vomiting, freezing yet burning up. Make sure it is out of your body completely before you start, if you test positive for methadone don't take the shot wait it out."


"This stuff is awesome! For the first 12 days or so I felt incredibly stoned, but it wore off and evened out my anxiety that was controlling me all day. No side effects at all unless you count interacting with Remeron which put my head spinning with incredible nausea. I take Xanax which cancels that effect but my MD wants to take me off it and put me on Buspar, I'll see how that goes. PS- am on day 21 of VIIBRYD"


"I had the Mirena inserted as a 44 yo never pregnant woman mostly to control painful periods ( it didn't) and Within 5 weeks I developed what I would call severe carpel tunnel syndrome ( confirmed by a neurologist at around 12 weeks) , the neurologist also suggested the Mirena was potentially causative but once triggered it might be an ongoing issue. I had it removed.

18 months on I still have carpel tunnel syndrome, I'm really active and activity can be very debillitating, my shoulder is so intensely sore that I cannot sleep for days, drugs don't help as its nerve pain. Wish I'd never gone near this thing."


"If your stomach can tolerate this it is great for arthritis. I have taken for over 20 years. Everytime I try anything else I end up in pain."


"100mg patch Estradot- applied twice weekly.

Keeps me sane ,and virtually anxiety free.

The adhesive on this brand does nt make welts on my skin

Only drawback is removing the Glue Spots.:-)

When using Hot Spas or I need to apply creams to dry skin, I use an

Estrogel  sachet .this allows the freshly applied patch to catch up.

Absolutely satisfied & happy with this medication.

** on PBS IN Australlia.

Lowest dose Venlafaxine added when family drama hit me like a bolt."


"OMG~  I took it and then ate.  I have had 22 hours of labor and delivery, natural childbirth.. So i know I was having horrible pains that lasted 8 sec 3 secs apart in my diaphragm and stomach.  I thought I was going to die.  In the heat of it if you had asked me if I would have wanted to die or live... I would have said take me on Lord.  It nearly killed me."


"In my opinion it is great at its main purpose, never failed. My only issue is the weight gain, I gained 12kg on the implant in a matter of weeks and I cannot seem to lose it :("


"My son is 9 and was diagnosed with a central auditory processing disorder. He is/was also showing symptoms of ADHD. In trouble in school, refusing to do his work, he was even switched to an emotional support classroom, and after all the tests, we found out that his brain couldn't process what he was hearing, which caused the ADHD like symptoms.  We were offered to try Focalin XR...started on 5 mg but just switched to 10mg because my son said it wasn't making much of a difference. He eats well, even on the medication, and has been coming home with almost perfect daily behavior charts at school. This medicine is definitely working out good for us. Side effects are very minimal. My son takes 1mg of melatonin at night for sleep."


"I've found that it works great for my headaches. I take it with Phenergan for nausea. Works really good for me."


"I have only been on it for little over a month. It's the first birth control I've been on so I was new to side effects. I finally realized my mood swings are huge. I find myself very emotional and depressed and minutes later I'm beyond happy. I do get headaches quite a bit but it can be from something totally different. I feel like I've gained a little bit of weight but I can't blame anything but myself. I don't think it's a horrible pill just affects me badly."


"I switched from the pill to nexplanon so I didn't have to deal with taking a pill every day but after 4 months I am going back to the pill. The nexplanon has been an absolute nightmare for me. I have constant moods swings, extremely irritable, weight gain & bloating, and I have now had a period/spotting for a full month. I also have experienced complete exhaustion which I never had a problem with until I had the nexaplon inserted. I am going back to the doctor to get this removed next week and I couldn't be more relieved. I definitely do not recommend!"


"I have been on Kariva for about five months. It is my first experience with the birth control pill as I am getting married on September and wanted to be regulated by the wedding. The first couple of months, I experienced mood swings, headaches and weird appetite.  However, my side effects have leveled out.  I no longer have any side effects.  In fact, it has cleared my acne up some. My periods have never been bad but they are now only about 1-2 days long.  I would say my cramps may be a little worse, but since the period is shorter it evens out.  I have not gained weight from this pill.  In fact, along with diet and exercise, I have been able to lose weight while taking this pill.  I would recommend Kariva."


"I'm in the last couple of days of a 10-day prescription for cefuroxime (Ceftin) to treat acute prostatitis and mild bladder infection.  The pain and discomfort subsided 3-4 days after beginning treatment.  I've been managing the loose stool problem with multiple small portions of yogurt during the day.  I'm also experiencing mild irritability and anxiety while taking the drug, a fair trade-off compared to my symptoms before starting treatment."


"My suggestion for dealing with the taste: lime jello. I held my breath and swallowed about 5 swallows of the Suprep, then took a spoonful of lime Jello and swished it around my mouth like mouthwash before taking a breath. This almost completely eliminated tasting the stuff."


"I really like it. I'm finishing up my second month next week, but I will be switching back to a pill because the adhesive from the patch makes me itch all week then when I take it off theres a big red rash where it was. I was fatigued for the first two weeks, but haven't had side effects since. I'm sad that the adhesive doesn't work for me, otherwise I'd keep it."


"I have been in a major depression for 3 years, and possibly a minor depression before that , I also have anxiety and social phobia,  I have been on Sertraline for almost two months now, and I noticed an enormous difference the first few days, I started to smile, laugh, make eye contact, and the fear of public is slowly easing !   I can not describe how bad life was before Sertraline.  I am 34 years old and have been living a life that wasn't a life at all, now I am feeling better than I have ever felt.  I do get dry mouth !  But, oh to laugh again!  (Worth it). I am usually not a person who even uses Tylenol ,  so for me to try this, I was desperate .  I don't feel high nor drugged or even out of my body!  I feel whole"


"Elavil helped immediately."


"I have only taken one pill so far. The first night I experienced insomnia, dry mouth, and all day I couldn't eat. I guess it's acting as an appetite suppressant for me. I also have been extremely irritable. I am 22 years old and have been smoking for 5 years. I am a 1 1/2 pack smoker a day, and JUST after 1 pill, my smoking cravings are cut in half. Will continue to take."


"Was perscribed skelaxin for spasms caused by an extensive back injury. Unfortunately, I'm not able to take this medication. Causes severe nausea, vomiting, and confusion."


"I'm taking this in combination with Zoloft. I take 0.25 mg of Klonopin (half a pill) twice a day. It's a very low dose, but in combination with the Zoloft has been effective at managing my anxiety. I was originally taking 0.5 twice a day but that was making me too drowsy to concentrate on work. Overall this is a great med for anxiety, especially when waiting for an SSRI to start working."


"I suffer from social anxiety rarely leave the house. The anxiety leaves me isolated which cause extreme depression. With xanax 1mg to 2mg takes all anxiety away and calms my depression 10 out of 10. Taking xanax for over 20 years now."


"I have been using Victoza for 3 weeks with a no carb diet.. I have lost 3 kg..
I didn't experience a serious side effects however I am thinking to stop using it as I read about its relation with pancreas cancer"


"I was put on Amitriptyline 10mg to help with severe back pain and trapped sciatic nerve affectng the lower right leg very badly. Had to stop driving.  I started to sleep extremely well but had not really had much pain to cope with at night so there was nothing special to note there. Daytime pain seemed unchanged until about 5 to 6 weeks into the course I did notice that daytime pain had lessened.  However I also noticed that in weeks 6 to 7, I was feeling extremely low, depressed, lifeless and started to have dull headaches, reread the side effects and decided to stop the drug immediately. I am a different person, feeling so much more alive and for me, the drug caused an effect more serious than the back and leg pain."


"I have severe pain due to arthritis and nerve damage. I had broken my heel on my foot. It didn't grow back right. I have had pain ranging from 5 to 8 for 3 years. I was taking tons of Norco for the pain with no relief. Dr switched me to 10mg every 4 hours now I can actually get around. They work great."


"I've been on Skyla for about a month and a half now. I am 18 years old and I've never had a child before. I use birth control to regulate my periods and cramps. Getting the IUD was very painful. I nearly fainted. Definitely have someone take you there for the procedure. I was painfully cramping the whole day after it was inserted. I continued to have cramps for nearly 2 weeks after it was inserted and I still have minor cramps occasionally though much more manageable.  I was spotting for nearly a month but it has stopped now. But when I get wet the fluid is more sticky I would say. I was previously on 3 month birth control which greatly decreased my sex drive but now I would say I have a sex drive appropriate of someone my age"


"Spironolactone cured my acne! I started getting pretty severe acne this year and after trying minocycline and doxycycline which did not work for me, my dermatologist recommended spironolactone. After just 3 weeks, my acne started to calm down and I am currently nearing my 2nd month of spironolactone and my face is acne free. Although I have oily skin, spironolactone really dried up my face and lips so I have to moisturize constantly throughout the day. This medicine took some time to see drastic improvements but it is definitely worth the try!"


"I was on Loestrin for about a year and was always concerned about not having a period.  My husband and I tried just using condoms for a while, but after a few months I decided I needed to go back on some form of oral birth control.  My doctor suggested TriNessa, which has a higher dose of hormones, so I will have my period each month.  After only a month of that, I have noticed extreme anxiety and mood swings, random spotting, loss of libido, and nausea.  I know it takes a while to get into my system, but I've already gained 10 pounds. Next month, I'll be switching back to Loestrin. I had no side effects and no weight gain when taking it, other than not having a period. After being assured by my doctor it is safe and normal. I'll go back to Loestrin."


"I ended up trying the patch after having too many bad experiences with the pill form. I have fibroids and am extremely irregular (skip months at a time, so I really needed to be on something.

The first few months were a bit rough, but it evened out pretty smoothly after that. I've now been on the patch for over two years and I absolutely love it. I've never had it fall off, and I no longer have any side effects. In fact, 99% of the time I forget it's even there. Not pregnant yet either, so it works there too. Great option if you can't handle the pill."


"Had this put in after my second child and I  love it. I thought it would be terrible getting it put in but it was a breeze. I've had it for 3 months now and don't have any side effects.  For the first 2 months I did spot every day but that has gone away now."


"I was at a breaking point and couldn't take any more bad thought and sad days. It got to the point where I was crying up to 4 times a day, snapping at my husband and kids, having to call in to work because I couldn't pull it together long enough to function.  It was bad.  I had negative thoughts and obsessed about something bad happening to myself or my daughter and not at the hands of myself.
Side effects were bad at first-insomnia, nausea, swimmy head, anxiety, those only lasted until about day 5 and was told to push through and tough it out.  Every day since has been better and better and I finally feel normal again.  Lexapro saved my life."


"I was on insulin but couldn't get my A1C down.  It was 8.9 so she put me on Jentadueto and Victoza.  The first 2 days I was really sick. 3rd day (today) I vomited so bad I was about to give up then decided to try taking the Victoza at bedtime instead of morning. Will see if it works.  The first day I didn't eat a thing.  It totally makes you not want to eat ANYTHING.  I actually had to force myself to eat a banana this morning and that's when I vomited.  I hope these side effects go away because I think this is the right medicine for weight loss. I'm still taking Novalog once a day if my blood sugar is over 150.  Will update soon."


"A year ago, I was asked to read at my friends wedding & since the day she asked me I have been terrified as I usually experience an extremely intense heart beat like it's going to jump out of my chest, I can't regulate my breathing so find it hard to even get a word out, & I also experience dizziness like I'm about to pass out. I took 20mg the night before to test how I would react with it, 10mg about 1.5 hours before & another 10mg 45 mins before. I've never known anything like this. I read my speech with clarity, I could even look up and make eye contact with the bride & groom. My fiancé was gobsmacked. Usually he has to try and calm my nerves, all night he kept saying how amazing I did. I have a new found confidence now."


"Not at all able to hold chronic pain back, at all. An ER Dr said who ever prescribed it was wrong because it does not help, at all, for Sickle Cell Disease."


"I am 52 years old... have an extreme pain in my knee that had limited my exercise a lot..... additionally some emotional reasons that made me gain 20 pounds in the last year and I was already 10 pounds over
Today is my day five the only side effect is constipation.
Medication for me is being fantastic... I always read how to lose wieght in the past but never was able to practice.  Now I am eating to live in the last 5 days and not living to eat
Medication left me more calm in general... doing things in my time including eating and exercise.... very hopeful I will lose the weigh I need"


"The medication in itself wasn't bad, I was terrible at taking it, but it gave me TERRIBLE heartburn. I've since switched to the patch with no problems."


"I really hope this was going to work. My side affects were bad first a rash (very bad). Many creams and strong prescriptions we're given with little to no help but the worst was the heart damage. I had a mild heart attack the doctor felt strongly it was due to this medication this is only my experience I do not want to discourage anybody that it can help just be careful of all the signs"


"At first, it made me a little groggy.  After 6 months, it has made me extremely fatigued all the time. My muscles feel constantly weak, regardless of how much I sleep or exercise. I have lost hair and gained some weight. It also made my breasts very tender (and slightly larger).  I get headaches, sweat profusely, and have trouble focusing. "


"I am super happy with this form of birth control. I was on the pill for years and I would become crazy. The first month on the NuvaRing I did bleed for almost 3 weeks. I freaked out a little, but when I changed it the next month the bleeding stopped and everything is great. I would totally recommend this to anyone! I never feel it, doesn't affect my sex life or drive. Boyfriend doesn't feel it. I am 100% happy."


"I was prescribed this pill to treat PMS however, taking this medication was the worst experience of my life. It alleviated anxiety but it made me severely depressed and paranoid. I am a fairly active person and I would go running every day. As soon as I began to take the pill I lost motivation to do the things I enjoyed and it got to the point where I did not even want to leave the house. I also almost lost my job over it. I tried to quit three times in one week and luckily my employer would not let me end my career and encouraged me to stay.

Taking this medication also damaged my relationships with my friends and my partner and almost costed me my relationship. Please do not take this medication. "


"I've had chronic back and neck pain for over 10 years and drugs like Vicodin, Lorcet and others like them quit working. Was taking MS Contin for 5 years and it started to loose its effect. Started the Dilaudid 2 years ago and still doing well with it. Without it I would have a constant pain level of 8 to 9.5 and unable to do anything. With it my pain level runs 4 to 6 and I'm able to do some things. I've been unable to work for 10 years but now can do some wood working with a little lathe."


"I took this drug for a little over a month and only lost 6 lbs.   I am menopausal and am taking medication to suppress my auto immune disease which cause me not to be able to loose weight and due to my disease be able to exercise.

This drug WAS NOT covered by my insurance but got the savings card to cut the costs down.  After a month of extreme constipation (even with taking laxatives), severe headaches and overall not feeling good I decided to quit taking this drug.

It is NOT a cure all for weight loss.   I do not eat that much so suppression of my appetite did not work, nor did it make me crave healthy foods like some have reported.   I was afraid to go to the maximum dosing of 2 and 2 but did it anyway."


"I had some success with Savella but have not felt totally better after long term."


"After the first set of antibiotics didn't work, I was given this type...3 days in, my cough has definitely improved but the metallic taste I constantly have is just horrible. Will continue with treatment just eating mints lots, but they don't really hide the taste."


"I was switched to zarah for my PCOS and was really happy to try something new. I had taken lutera for three years for heavy and painful periods and then for the past 6 months had not gotten a period, which is common with PCOS. My doctor recommended I try zarah. Just in the first month, I was way more moody and retaining a lot of water weight. Then my periods came. It was the worst period I've had since I started birth control. Painful cramps and heavy bleeding to the point I needed to change a super plus tampon every hour. I am going back to the doctor to get this changed, since I waited the three months to see if anything would change. The only positive was that it was an effective birth control."


"I have used Tramadol for over 5 years. I am on a 200mg slow release tablet of which I take 3-5 a day. They say that it decreases the heart rate but it seems to me that last night when I checked my heart was doing 190/min....so that blows that theory out of the water. I can tell that it does make you restless and at times reckless and also increase your anger responses. Hope this helps."


"I'm diagnosed with multiple sclerosis
Before the diagnosis I had a sudden change in my mood form a very happy person to a very depressed person
After the diagnosis and failure of 3 kind of treatment for My MS because it escalated my depression I stopped everything
And started the following
1. Dr.  TerryWahls protocol
2. Vitam B3 3000mg/day

It's been 2 years and i haven't got a single relapse
And the Vitamin b3 helps with the depression."


"This medication even though only one half absorbed orally was the best pain medicine I have ever used for my Lupus pain. It worked fast and if I was not in Pain in 3-4 hrs. I did not have a hung over effect. I have not taken this medicine in several years because the pain medicines were swapped to Dilaudid for several years. Demerol is not as strong which was great and did not cause constipation."


"I started Saxenda on 1/29/2016. To date I have lost 26 lbs. I began at 178 and have lost an average of 2 1/2 lbs a week since then.

I am following a 1000 calorie a day diet, (with my doctor's approval) and am journaling my food, which helps tremendously.

The first week, at the lowest dosage, I felt a little jittery. That dissipated within 2 weeks.

I am up to 3.0 and I have had no side effects except constipation.

It has been a very positive experience for me. My goal is 145 lbs and I am sure that can be achieved in the next four weeks."


"I just started today and wasn't expecting to see any difference as most antidepressant take weeks to see any difference. Today about 2 hrs after taking I felt so tired. Being at work didn't help. I have read many of the other comments and am hoping it's a miracle drug like a lot have said. I take Seroquel for sleeping that I think will help as a lot of others say Pristiq interferes with sleeping. Hopefully I will be back to write again and hopefully there will only be positive results to write about."


"This is a miracle.  I no longer think about food and have no desire to snack in between meals.  I eat only what my body needs.  I have lost 13 pounds in six weeks.  I lead a very active lifestyle (2-5 hours of cardio a week) and eat fewer than 100 grams of carbs per day.   I have tried every diet under the sun, and nothing has worked as well as far as controlling my cravings.  Side effects are minimal.  I have some tingling in my lips and possibly my hands and feet.  Be certain to take this medicine in the morning, or you will be up all night! "


"On 15mg of this for last 3 months for depression ...OCD....sad anxiety disorder.  It didn't sedate me at all helped with sleep straight away took away anxiety after 3 weeks helps with OCD thoughts/harm ...all in all its a brilliant medication which worked for me immediatly keeps you calm and stable and just makes you happier. If you can get through first 2 weeks of side affects your laughing.  It's a great medication been on 2 before which sent me crazy. Plz do give it a try but do not miss doses as withdrawal symptoms appear quickly on this drug and are horrific to say the least"


"I've been on Nexplanon for about 2 and a half years. I have had nothing but problems with this thing. I have uncontrollable mood swings. Which isn't me at all. I get angry over the smallest things. I've had more UTI's which were unknown to me before being on this. I overall would not recommend this to anyone unless you can deal with extreme mood swings and other health related issues."


"I have been on Effexor XR for 2 days now for anxiety panic agoraphobia. So far not to bad. Not to many side affects. Tired and a bit fuzzy but I hope this medicine is as good as everyone has said. I just want my life back."


"I have been taking Gabapentin for about 3 months. It has decreased my  pain tremendously. I take 600mg twice a day for Fibromyalgia. But some of the side effects are bothersome. If I take it on an empty stomach I am ok. But if I eat with in 5 hours of taking it I become dizzy and feel drunk. Because of my family and work obligations some times I have to skip a dose so I can function properly. Also I have trouble with my memory. I am a huge trivia buff but right now it is hard for me to remember anything, I have not put on much weight but it does seem that after I take a dose and eat then I am hungry and can not get full. So I have to choose, pain and no side effects or no pain and feeling and acting drunk. I choose no pain."


"Just not strong enough, Klonopin or Xanax or really any other benzodiazepines, works better."


"yes the hype is true with this med for appetite increase(also used for allergies which works wonders)
this will.. i repeat this medicine will make you sleepy, dizzy and a bit lazy the first few days...i would say give it a full week before the sleepiness becomes manageable

i can recommend is taking 2mg then up the dose every few days **DO NOT take a full 4mg at first it will knock you on your butt
(dissolving the tablet in juice or taking it with a full meal might help with the drowsiness)
started this med at 100lbs 9 days later i'm at 108lbs

i rate it a 9 and not a full 10 because of the extreme drowsiness/sleepiness in the beginning

one last thing i recommend is to eat healthy foods to gain weight"


"Never again will I try this. As others have mentioned, I inserted the ovule and within 5-10 minutes experienced an awful itching and burning sensation. This is my first time and I thought maybe that was normal? Until I read the reviews and realized how many others felt the same. I plan on going to the Dr tomorrow to get a prescription for diflucan because this is absolute misery."


"I've been on it for 11 days so far and I've lost 22lbs. I started out at 301lbs and now I'm 279lbs. That's just with the free starter dose. I completely cut out carbs, sweets and soda. I went for a weigh in today and my doctor almost didn't recognize me. Most people lose an average of 5-7lbs their first 2 weeks but my 2 weeks isn't up until Monday. I haven't exercised at all due to my 10-15 hour work days. I told my doctor I think I lost it this fast because I have no desire to eat. All I do is drink water. I try and force myself to eat but all I get in is a few bites of a protein bar all day. I have severe dry mouth. I'm going to try the next strength up next week and see how that goes. My goal is 199lbs."


"This medication worked perfectly on my symptoms. I have absolutely no anxiety now, get all my assignments done weeks early, have significant amounts of motivation to achieve, help others and am doing extremely well at work. I got promoted on this medication to district manager. I am getting 100's in University. I am so thankful for this medication. I have since gone off it and am all the positive benefits have stayed. Thank you maker Pfizer, maker of ziprasidone."


"Recurring sinus infections sent me to the doctor again after a Z-pack didn't work.  Brought home the Avelox and was scared to take it after reading other peoples' reactions and problems.  Have taken three pills now and I am noticeably better.  Sinus headache gone, and even my ears feel better too (reduced tinnitus.)  Previously took Levaquin years ago and had some anxiety, so I was expecting not to feel good with the Avelox.  Only problem thus far is minor nausea, but I just take it with food and stay upright and busy as to not notice the wooziness.  No serious reaction and the nausea is tolerable so I will continue to take it."


"Kept me calm and less stressed and less
irritable."


"I had a total knee replacement at the age of 32.  I have to say that I was in nasty pain 8 out of 10 and Percocet helped me tremendously.  I can actually sleep now and rehab more effectively.  I wake up every couple of hours at night and have some cold sweats as well along with cotton mouth but I think its worth the pain relief."


"Finally a drug that works for my depression."


"I have severe drug allergies especially opiates, I have been on Buprenorphine for many years now and found it to be an excellent pain reliever. I have found that at times though it is hard to find and have had to go to the patch."


"I don't think this is as effective as they state.  Took it 24 hours after unprotected sex and a few weeks later im 4 weeks pregnant! Took as directed and had zero side effects. Didn't work for me now onto having to deal with an unwanted pregnancy. Buyer beware!!!"


"Ativan works. I just started getting panic attacks in my 40s no real reason for it except maybe aspartame caffeine sometimes emotional but in all I'm not sure why have gotten panic attacks. But Ativan works sometimes I need three pills of .5 mg or sometimes I just need one but I only take them as needed not sure if my doctor is going to continue to give them to me but I definitely need a back up of some kind and it does make you feel better so think goodness for that."


"I bought Abreva when I felt my first tingle. I applied it 5/6 times a day every day. My cold sore got huge.I still have my cold sore and I'm on day 12 :( now a new sore is popping up. I felt the tingle of the Abreva every time I put it on, but it didn't help at all."


"If you  want to sleep between 7-10 hours a day and want a good sex life this is the medication for you. I have had no side effects no shakes tremors drowsiness. On clopixol I used to sleep up to 20 hours the doctors will be reluctant to put you on it  as it is very expensive but if you work or want to return to work or study this is the medication for you"


"I have been receiving  lucentis for almost two years, about 18 injections. my eye sight has stabilized and I am able to drive and use my computer, I still see wavy line with just my left eye,( the one receiving injections) but my right eye is dominant and when both are open things look normal.  I will continue with the treatment  because I do see a lot clearer since I started treatment. I am 77 years young and I don't want to have to slow down my very active life. I think I will always see some wavy lines and a small smoky spot. But you just have to deal with those small problems.   good luck to all off you that will develop this eye condition. see your eye doctor as soon as you notice an eye problem."


"I have been taking methadone HCL 10 mg tablets for 10 years for chronic pain. I love this medication greatly and yes it's a lifesaver for sure. I had been on everything from Ultram to Oxy 80. I can tell you that this medication blows them all away. I started out on 3 a day for 8 years and in the last 2 years I have been on 4 a day. My pain is managed to about 96%. It seems to take a really long time for immunity to set in. This is the best pain medicine on the market. "


"I have been using Contrave for four months and have lost more than 40 lbs.  I was nauseous for the first week and then when I increased the dosage.  It has helped me tremendously with the cravings.  I have been walking and now working up to a slow jog for about 45 minutes a day.  The medication will not help you lose weight if you do not watch what you eat or exercise.  It is expensive and insurance will not cover it, however it has been extremely worth it to me so far.  Hoping I will wing myself off and continue to eat the right things and exercise."


"I got the Implanon November 2011 it's been over a year since..the first few months I did have mood swings an I did bleed heavy for about three weeks but since then I havent had a period or a baby! The mood swings go away! I love this birth control! I've been on the pill and Depo and this is by far the best!"


"If I could rate this medication as a ZER, I would.  Virtually no pain relief, only nausea, intermit diarrhea, headaches and vertigo.  It does NOT sick to the inside of your cheek, as everytime you swallow it moves around and either sticks to your teeth or you swallow it. Horrible, horrible medication. Films often crack in half by the time you can finally pry them out of the foil and they are so small that if you have an sort of tremor, as I do, they often fall out of my fingers. IMO, they need to scrap the whole thing and start over. Horrible."


"28 year old male.. Been on stelara for 2.5 months went from 70% covered to almost 0% it had worked amazingly... Just a question does any pay know how long it takes to start seeing some of the red go away that was in the really bad spots? Thanks all and good luck"


"I love my Implanon! Have had Implanon in for about a year and its been great! I've gained a bit of weight and have found it a bit harder to lose any extra but if you exercise and eat healthy it shouldn't be a problem. So I haven't had a pregnancy and its actually cleared almost all my acne. I guess the extra hormones actually balanced me out. Definitely going for another one when I turn 21. If anything changes I'll be sure to change my review but so far its the best birth control ever, its out of sight and out of mind."


"I have been on Embeda for just 1 month, and at first it was rough constantly hurting and withdrawals, extremely tired, headaches. Now I guess things are starting to level off but the headaches persist but my pain is finally under control with the Embeda 30-1.2 once a day and percocet 10mgs 3 times day for break through pain. I have degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis in both knees, fibromyalgia, Lupus, I'm hoping I can soon get my life back. I'm grateful for the not high feeling and the most important thing is I'm not constantly not pain anymore so my depression is getting better and I don't have to use the percocet as much. Now if the headaches leave and the over tired feeling would leave I will 100 percent."


"I'm 19, no kids and never pregnant. I went in and talked to my OB about a new birth control, because I get so busy I forget to take the pill, but also because my period is extremely heavy. My OB inserted Skyla the 23rd of April, the pain was bad. I took a 800mg pain pill, but it still hurt. It hurt after, but I took a hot bath to help my body relax, which helped the cramps. I started bleeding the Thursday after I got it inserted and I'm going on seven weeks of it. I just had a check up, so she could look at the strings and she said that I have 3-6 months of possible bleeding. I do have to say though, that this bleeding is heavy, but no where near as hard as I was before. So I guess that's good. Hoping the bleeding stops soon."


"I have been on suboxone for several years, first for addiction to pain pills now for pain management, I was switched to zubslov for insurance reasons and I was in withdrawals in 3 hours, I don't understand why or how most of these ppl on here say it works for them but for me it has been awful ! Why do the drug and insurance companies have to mess with something that is working !!"


"Our pharmacy mixed Tamiful in-house for our five-month-old.  As soon as the medicine was in her mouth, her stomach would convulse and she would completely empty her stomach, whether she took it alone or with food. We were told by the doctor there was no other option other than to discontinue use. Two days later, we were back at the pharmacy to fill the same prescription for her 4-year-old brother. The commercial preparation was available then. I talked to the pharmacist about the baby's reaction to Tamiflu, and she said the sugar base from the in-house mix was the likely culprit. We refilled the baby's prescription with the commercial preparation, and she tolerated it just fine. I'm so grateful, because she really needed the medicines!"


"I had a D&C in October.. went back for a follow up November 12, 2016 and the clinic kept trying to convince me to get on birth control.. I refused but then they told me about the depo shot.. "you won't get your period for 3months, you won't get pregnant, you can have sex without worries".. that's rubbish! I regret ever taking this shot! I started bleeding in December and it hasn't stopped! It started with brown spotting and now I'm bleeding bright red heavy blood! This is ridiculous! My boyfriend and I haven't had sex ever since the bleeding because it makes the bleeding worse! What was the point of this injection?! I am scared I will never stop bleeding.. I called the clinic and they said I should stop bleeding once it wears off (January 27)"


"Took mucinex md for the onset of cough. The musimex the first day I noticed an improvement but had slight troubled sleeping. The second day no improve the from the mucinex and zero sleep. In combination with my other asthma meds it made my heart race which made me have to take rescue inhaler. I recommend going to dr before taking this with asthma patients."


"I've been taking humira for two years for severe rheumatoid arthritis. One 40 mg shot a week. It's worked wonders on my arthritis. I also take 15 mg methotrexate once a week.

No side effects except for extreme mood swings from extreme anger to laughing so hard I'd

be in tears. I thought I was going crazy until I saw comments from other people taking humira with similar side effects. Thanks to everyone for sharing your experiences .I'm not nuts after all."


"This has helped my mom along with gabapentin for her disc problems. "


"I read the reviews before purchasing but figured what the heck, everyone is different. I WAS WRONG. I feel like a fire has started my vag. I've had children without epidurals and this is worse. The burning and itching is unreal. And to make matters worse, I'm allergic to the "cool wipes" they give you in the package. Stay away and save your $20!!"


"I’m only on my second week of this pill and honestly do not like it. I have the worst nausea all day and am so tired all day long. My mood swings are crazy as well .. constantly irritated. I will change it as soon as I can."


"Taste better than most, no more cough, but Diarrhea outta this world. Definitely would have preferred the cough, definitely last time"


"I guess Im one of the few who didn't see a difference in my depression while taking Lexapro. It did wonders for my anxiety attacks, but my depression never went away. Also, if you start taking Lexapro, please consult your doctor if you plan or need to stop for any reason. The withdrawal can be a little harsh."


"I had told my Dr. How when I walk up my stairs in my house how I'm out off breathe and how my chest had been feeling tight over the last few months and I just use my nebulizer or my ventolin pump and it helps me feel better .But then she suggested Advair Diskus and within the 2nd day I felt the tightness in my chest like I was having an asthma attack and then my throat started to feel swollen so I stopped the medicine . Since using this medication my throat is sore, swollen glands,hurts when I swallow . I'm very nervous and will not use it anymore"


"This is far superior to hydromorphone for controlling muscle spasticity."


"This was the first birth control I've ever tried and I have been on it for about 10 months. Overall, it's been a positive experience. Before I went on birth control, I had a heavy period for 7-8 days, awful cramps, and extreme nausea. Sometimes I even threw up because the cramps and nausea were so bad. Being on this pill has lightened and shortened my period to 3 days and completely eliminated my cramps. I know exactly when to expect my period every month. I do notice that I've gotten a little more emotional and grouchy sometimes but there are other things that could've contributed to that so I don't want to put much blame on my birth control since my mood change is so slight, it hasn't completely affected my life in such a negative way."


"This drug has been so helpful to me. I no longer have bad anxiety. My temper has been even, and overall I'm much happier. I take one 50mg pill per day. This has decreased my sex drive a little bit. I also find myself to be warm or sweating more. The pros definitely outweigh the cons of this drug."
