"Reduced my blood pressure well but experienced extreme tiredness. A routine blood test found hyperkalemia and reduced renal function requiring three days in hospital for treatment."


"Absolutely awful. Will never take it again. I would rather have a YI than feel this. I took it and within 10 minutes my vagina was on fire. So bad that it brought me to tears. So not worth it at all."


"Have been on Victoza for 1 1/2 months. Have lost about 10 lbs which is good for me. BS is great now I am at 1.2mg.  My only real complaint is that I get very sleepy about 2 hours after the injection. Have mild constipation and occasional nausea after 2 weeks. Initially had bad nausea. I am real pleased with how it is working for me so far."


"I was on Remicade for five years and the Crohn's Disease went into remission BUT it did a number on my immune system.  I got staph infection and eventually a septic hip.  Had to have hip surgery which consisted of a spacer for 6 months as well as medication through a pic line.  In hospital for three and a 1/2 months and nearly another 3 months at home before I was in condition to have a hip replacement.  I also have kidney disease which is partly due to medications I took while fighting Crohn's disease.  Just waiting to die and get these diseases over with.   Really consider the side effects of Remicade - septic hip was not mentioned."


"I've been taking Zoloft for about half a year now on 200mg. I'm not taking it for depression, it's being used in conjunction with other things for rage and anger, hypervigilence, as well as dissociation.

I've been pretty lucky with this medication because I experience absolutely zero side effects, in fact I could probably take a higher dose right now although I'd rather stick with the minimum and use coping techniques.

I still feel like "me" on Zoloft. In fact I feel more like myself then I have in a long time. I still feel my emotions and everything, although I experience them in a healthy, normal way. I don't experience all of the irrational, exaggerated, awful feelings and sensations I used to, in a good way.

I feel normal again."


"I actually have ADD. This medication gives me energy, helps me focus, and aids in retention of information. It is a vital part of my daily performance."


"I've been on Lolo for a year now. I literally thought I was pregnant until reading these reviews (still going to the doc today of course), I am dizzy, hungry, nauseous, breast are very sore (mostly at days end), I've been a tiny girl my whole life and gained 15 lbs in the last 2 months! I work out nearly everyday and eat super healthy. I've also had depression and suicidal / irrational thoughts. Dryness has also been a problem along with severe chest pain from time to time. I'm 31 and do not recommend this pill."


"Used as alternative to albuterol inhaler due to rapid heart rate after its use. Good for use during mild to moderate acute asthma. I use for mild asthma. If Xopenex inhaler doesn't completely work, I know it's time to step up treatment with regular nebulized medication & a doctors visit."


"I have been using Axiron (60 mg daily) for two months now. Before I started my testosterone level was around 430, which is a little low for a 40 year old male (has been as low as 190). I was doing the injections, but the constant ups and downs were terrible. Needless to say I was optimistic when told about Axiron, but it's proven to be short lived. I  had my testosterone level checked again last week and it dropped to 217! I suspected something was wrong when fatigue started setting back in. Anyway, I went back to my doctor today and he increased the dose to 120 mg daily. Will have my level checked again in 10 weeks, Hope it starts working. "


"I've been on the patch one month, a complete cycle. I started after my first ever miscarriage, so I was a little weary and nervous of how my periods were going to be since I have been bleeding off and on the past 2-3 months! Xulane works amazing for me!! My period is shorter and lighter but I still spot a few times which was expected. But I have literally had no other side effects! I forget it is there! I alternate putting it on each side of my back, above my pants line but below my bra line so no irritation. It has never fallen off, even with bathtubs I had no issues. I have seen a lot of negative comments but I truly think it is just how your body will handle it. The patch is amazing for me, but the pill makes me so sick. I recommend!!"


"I take this medication for severe abdominal pain associated with IBS. It's the best medication I have found in terms of controlling the pain, and works even better than painkillers. However, like others have noted, it makes me VERY drowsy and just gives me an "out of it" feeling even after it wears off. I would definitely not recommend taking it if you have to drive, take a test - really anything but the most basic physical and cognitive functions are impaired."


"I'm writing from the UK!  The main difference is that all our medication is free for over 65s and some others.  I've been on Co-coda of (apologies, iPad won't let me spell this correctly), Tramadol and Gabapentin.  My restlessness has been getting worse and worse for years and a couple of weeks ago I kicked a hole in my bed sheet during the night.  So, a few days ago, I saw my GP and he stopped the Tramadol (I'd been tolerating it well) and last night I took my first Mirapex.  Oh what a horrible experience!  I felt dreadfully ill during the night and when I got up this morning I felt as if I had flu.  I was dizzy, sneezy and in a cold sweat.  Now I'm not sure whether to continue - maybe the side effects will settle."


"I have been prescribed trazodone for generalized anxiety disorder with insomnia. I started with 50 mg only at bedtime about for a week and now at 100 mg in a single dose at bedtime. It helped me a lot with the anxiety (it calmed me down) and also it improved considerably my sleep at night. Although the sedating activity is immediate, the anxyolytic activity takes some time to show effect and requires increasing dose. I have noticed no major side effects, except from orthostatic hypotension and some headaches mainly at the beginning of the treatment. It works well as a sleep aid, but care must be taken when you increase the dose (should be done gradually increasing the dose by 25 mg). The dose of 100 mg at bedtime works fine for me. I will continue on this dose and see how things go on."


"I was on Seasonique for the past 4+ years.  I absolutely loved it.  I never spotted in between periods or had any other problems.  Before I started I had some minor breakouts, but once on the pill my face cleared up completely.  The only change I did have was prior to Seasonique I never cramped with any of my periods and while on the pill I had moderate/severe cramping for the first few days of all my periods.  Now my husband and I are trying to concieve and I have been off the pill for almost the last two months and I'm still waiting for my first period to start.  I have been told this is normal once leaving any birth control."


"I just got skyla after I had a c section (8 weeks ago) and did not feel a thing! I usually hate papsmears so I figured this would be painful... Nope! Nothing. Just the tool they use to widen you definitely doesn't feel good but it's tolerable. I have yet to feel a cramp. I think every body is different. But no complaints here."


"I was born with club feet (both feet turned in and bottoms turned up). Have been prescribed everything from tramadol and Vicodin to Percocet 10mg. I worried about alcohol with anything that had acetominophen so asked Doctor about Vicoprofen.  It's by far better than anything else I've taken.  I dont have problems taking on an empty stomach, drinking, or making bowel movements.  It even does more for the pain than the few oxycodone 30mg I have been given a of couple times.  Part of my condition is a short achilles tendon which makes me suffer from severe inflammation in all parts of my feet (probably why it works so well). Only side effect I have is an occasional pit in stomach when taken on empty stomach and irritability from time to time."


"This medication is amazing! It made me human again! I can do everything now and accomplish anything I set my mind to! I can't believe the change it has brought in my life, I feel utterly grateful to whomever came up with the cure to help us function once again! I love myself & life once again :)"


"I started getting anxiety about a year ago out of the blue. I had to go to the ER because I thought I was dying or something.  All my tests came back negative. The doctor told me it was an anxiety attack. I got sent home with nothing. A few days later I had another one. I went to my PHP and put me on clonazepam. I try not to take them if I don't need it,  but you never know when it may manifest.  So I try to take half doses to make my script stretch and to also not be as dependent.  I noticed that it works but to a less degree.  I commute to school and work a full time job so my mind is always running. In a nutshell, this medication works."


"Was better than Ativan by far but just doesn't last long enough. "


"Spent the last year eating very healthy and exercising with very little weight loss results. I got desperate last week and went to a weight loss clinic and got on Phentermine and B12 injections. Weighed in last Tuesday at 169.7lbs and went in for my one week check up and weighed 165.3 with jeans on and last time I was wearing shorts so I've lost about 4.5 pounds in one week. You have to push through the first three days of jitteriness and insomnia and then it levels out and you feel normal. I have experienced some pretty gnarly dry mouth despite how much water I drink but it's worth it if these results keep up. I'll update again in a couple weeks!"


"I have only been using Qsymia for one week but dropped 3.6 lbs so far. It's really working. Usually I drop 3 pounds a month so this is really amazing for me. Not too many side effects but you have to drink water and limit your calories and exercise."


"I started taking Cymbalta a year ago. Side effects - nausea and pain in stomach. This was with 30mg. Doctor recommended 60mg. It really worked but after about 4 months I just could not afford it so my doctor prescribed Celexa. I used that for several months. I noticed that my usual mild lower back pain returned. (I suffered no withdrawal symptoms). I got back on Cymbalta 2 months ago.  "


"Got this thing in my arm 1 month ago. Insertion wasn't too bad, hurt a little bit, and was sore for a couple days. Bruise went away after about a week. It was really itchy, and at times still is. I started bleeding 10 days ago, so I called my doctor. One of the nurses told me that I could continue to bleed continuously for the next 6 months....great. Looking at other people's reviews, it looks like I'm not the only one. At least it is a light amount, but still very annoying. I hope I can get through this and never have a period again. On the plus side, I don't have to take a pill everyday, and my insurance covered the implant, which would've cost me $3000 out of pocket."


"I've been on this BC for 3 months now and so far it's not horrible- only a few bad things are.. I am extremely tired and not in the mood for sex! I have 2 young kids so being tired/lazy is not really an option. I was never like this and I was never not in the mood for sex. I also get a little dryness. On a good note, I do have short periods. The first month it was really light the second month was kind of heavy but short so I'm waiting to see how this third month goes. If nothing changes far as tiredness and not wanting sex, I'll switch. I currently do not pay for this BC because my insurance covers it 100% but I rather pay $5-$10 so I'm not always tired and wanting to have sex with my husband more."


"I had unprotected sex and I took  Next Choice One Dose the next day. I had side effects, after 5 to 6 days I started bleeding so it worked for me."


"I was prescribed tramadol for my back pain.  It helped a little with the pain, but everytime I took it, it made me really sick the next day.  It made me nauseous, dizzy, and I kept vomiting the day after I took it.  Needless to say I quit taking it."


"I wish there was a score lower than 1 because I would definitely say this is a terrible form of birth control. I had the implant placed in mid July which was fine but once August rolled around I started to bleed. I bled from the beginning of august until December when I had it removed. I am still bleeding but I am glad I took it out. I liked the fact that I did not have to worry about pregnancy but I hated that I was an emotional bitch that was depressed most of the time and I gained 20+ pounds. I'm glad it's out and my hormones can regulate."


"I took Otezla twice, two years apart. My first experience helped my psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis within 3 months with minimal side effects. I had loose stool for a couple of days and a mild headache. THEN I developed a very aggressive breast cancer and was advised to stop Otezla.. I underwent chemotherapy, bilateral mastectomies and reconstruction. One year later, I began taking Otezla again because my psoriasis and PA came back with a vengeance, as predicted. Four months into treatment, I developed breast cancer in my sternum. Once again, I quit the Otezla and have since undergone radiation treatment. I did not tick the boxes for a patient at high risk for breast cancer. I feel my cancer may well have been a direct result of Otezla"


"I'm Cheway69 who ever read my post , just a reminder I started on 5/8/15 & today 5/25/15

It was terrible terrible the first wk , headache so tired it was like someone beat me up or like very sore it's like I lifted weight for 10 hrs, the result loosing only 3 lbs only , I couldn't BELEIVE it ,by no means my appetite is better eating good & healthy food but not enough to be happy with the result like everyone are talking about, maybe I need to wait little longer ...sometime my balance is off, like how ppl walk when they are drunk, my memory is not that good by using this Belviq, forget a lot ,nothing change in my life to effect my memory , I blame this product, oh also I'm shivering & cold a lot most of the day.

In 2 wks I'll post more info"


"Started using this after surgery due to constipation.  Worked great with no interaction. "


"I have been on Lexapro 10 mg for six weeks. I was really nervous to start, because I have never taken any type of medication before.  The first few weeks I did have side effects (including, nausea, dry mouth, and a kind of out of it feeling).  It worried me but I stuck it out to four weeks, because all of my medical friends insisted that I do. I am so glad that I did!  I feel so at ease about everything that used to control my mind excessively.  I am so much more bubbly and comfortable with conversations with others. It really just took that edge off for me. All of the side effects have gone away.  I strongly recommend."


"Just started and it feels good so far will see tomorrow."


"I have been taking Loestrin24 for a couple months now and I can honestly say I am very satisfied with the results. I have tried about 4 different birth controls in the last 2 years and with all of them I had experienced alot of side effects. My doctor always put me on moderate to high doses of birth control because of my PCOS, and Endometrosis which then led to more side effects. This is the only pill I have been on that I have experienced no side effects and the best part is I have my sex drive back. I have lost about 10 lbs since taking this but alot of that is water weight from the other birth controls. My periods are very light and there has been minimal cramping as well. I'm very happy. "


"I've been using 10mg Ambien for about 10 years now. I sleep very soundly and awake 6-8 hours later refreshed and loads of energy. Not every night, maybe 2 or 3 times a week. It is my miracle drug, but ONLY if I take it on an empty stomach! I too have had some "amnesia" like times. When I first began taking it, I called an ex boyfriend while my husband was asleep next to me. Thank God the side effects have gone away!"


"I am into week 3 and Monday I will begin the full dose of 2 pills in the mornings and 2 in the evenings. So far I have lost about 4 pounds.I have been doing some walking on the treadmill and some other little exercises every other day.  It has helped control my appetite a little but, not a lot as you can see with only a 4 pound lose. I am disappointed but I am going to continue for a few more weeks and then will decide whether to continue on them or not."


"I just got my Mirena put in yesterday (Jan.6.2016). it hurt like hell getting it put in. After getting it put in, I bled really hard that same day. I even had a huge blood clot come out of me but the cramps were tolerable. I took extra strength Tylenol and I was fine. Now it's the next day, I'm not bleeding and I feel great. But we'll see.."


"I started to take Spintec about 3 years ago. I did not have any side effects. Prior to taking Sprintec, I had HORRIBLE periods: heavy cramping, heavy flow, etc. Sprintec reduced my cramping and heavy flow. I workout about 5 times a week so I didn't notice any weight gain. However, for almost 6 months, I stopped taking it because my prescription ran out and I had to go see my doctor. I also was not sexually active for those 6 months so I did not feel the need to be on it. I just started taking it again. I recommend Sprintec to every woman who wants a cheap, effective form of birth control. Just be aware that every body is different. Find what works for you."


"I've taken contrave because when I took the first pill,a few hours later I had the worst headache but I had read and understand the side effects. I continued until day 4 and the headaches got worse. My hands were shaking,I had lost my appetite completely. Being that I work in pharmacy both the pharmacist an technicians expressed their concerns from the moment I decided to fill my prescription. I just kept on getting this bad feeling during those 4days I had taken contrave. I later come to find out that contrave controls some of your brain function that sends signals to your stomach so it thinks you have no appetite. But while its doing that to your nuero functions it can also cause you to have seizures. I hate this,medication, never again."


"I'm a Type 1 diabetic , I been on invokana for almost a year . Going back and forth taking the pill . It does work great keeping my sugars low , I have not seen weight changes and also every time I take the pill no matter how much water I drink I'm constantly getting yeast infections ! So I stop talking it after a few months decided previously to take it again after my doctor told me to go back . So I went back and now I have yet another Y.I. I guess I'm prone to them on this pill. I am done with this pill"


"Bad headache. Kinda tough to get the dose timing right so she's "in the mood" for the 4 hours that its working."


"I just recently started on vyvanse, and it works very well! So I'm 21, and in the past I've been on adderall, Ritalin and strattera. But none work as good as vyvanse. Adderall worked but left me feeling jittery, and Ritalin when it wore off I became angry. And strattera that's a whole nother story! But the main thing I like about vyvanse is I still am me. I don't feel jittery or like a robot. I'm me just with everything at a more calm controlled manner. The only downfalls are that it takes 2 hours to start working and only last 6-7 hours when I was told it would be 14 hours. But other than that it gets 2 thumbs up and 5 gold stars!"


"Have been using it for 11 months at 400mg along with 30 mg of mirtazipine (California rocket fuel)along with 50 mg of paroxetine.

Result not satisfactory.

I though feel some  relief in anxiety and panic disorder ."


"8. 5"


"I have struggled with binge eating disorder for close to 30 years. I have tried everything- therapy, eating disorder outpatient program, DBT BED program, and the struggle is still brutal from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep. When I started Vyvanse at 20 mg, it literally felt like a miracle. That obsessive voice in my head that thinks about food non-stop was quiet. I have tried several other medications for BED that did nothing. I was so excited- I was telling everyone that I felt normal for the first time. And then it stopped working about a week and a half ago. I am absolutely devastated. I asked my doctor to increase my dosage and am hoping that will help."


"Lexapro made my depression worse, and I had suicidal thoughts within 24 hours. I immediately quit. It was a free sample from my doctor."


"I haven't been on Topiramate very long, only a couple of months.  Started taking it for RLS (restless leg syndrome).  I was really surprised to see that it is sometimes used as a weight loss medicine. I didn't really notice any difference in my appetite.  However, my last visit to doctor did show that I've lost 5lbs.  I don't like the tingling, crawling skin sensation side effect.  That went away after a few days."


"I had Nexplanon inserted 6 weeks after giving birth to my daughter. I was 148lbs at the time still losing weight from my pregnancy. I reached an all time high of 175lbs on Nexplanon. Extreme bloating. I even wondered myself if I was pregnant I had severe mood swings, increased anxiety (it honestly became uncontrolable), always hungry and I over ate daily. I felt so tired I didn't enjoy doing anything like I use to. I got to the point where I didn't even feel like myself. I bled all the time 3weeks on 1 week off and even 6weeks at a time. I had it for a year before deciding to have it removed now it's been a week since I had it removed please research before choosing this b/c option it does prevent pregnancy at a price!"


"I've been on Latuda for 8 months now. Got off Risperdal which made me zombie like. I am taking 120mg of Latuda and love this medication. It has been successful in treating my depression/irritability. I am also taking Viibryd and Welbutrin. I have experienced NO weight gain. I recommend giving this medication a try if all others fail."


"Husband had been taking between 20 and 40 mg/day for 7 years, been fine. Dad had been taking even longer and got the facial angioedema. Have seen other patients with it too. Late effect allergy to ACE inhibitors."


"I've been on aleese a month now and it's been absolute hell. I'm not and emotional person under any means and eat like a full grown man usually but since starting this I haven't been able to eat at all because of the nausea and have had random uncontrollable mood swings. I've lost 10 lbs and every time I take one of these pills I get an instant headache. My period was hell aswell I got bad cramps for a week before and all during, this is not normal for me. My period also went from 4 days to 7 which really ticked me off. It cause my acne to get far worse and scar like I've never had before.Not only this but my anxiety levels went through the roof, my depression did the same causing me suicidial thoughts and I hadABSOLUTELY no energy."


"I noticed severe constipation, dry mouth, and I was very forgetful after taking the medication."


"Not trusting the source (s) of reviews of this medication from 'company-friendly' sites, hope this one actually gets published.

Zoloft was a nightmare, nine-day experience.  Kept reading the 'keep taking it!' reviews and those were simply not true to me.  Most everyone will eventually cycle back to feeling much better, especially if they have support.

Zoloft will push you over the edge if you keep taking it.

Had every side effect - bizarre urination flow, horrible gas, insomnia, etc.

Would suggest people considering Zoloft to stick with something short-term and short-acting.  Feel better and wean yourself off and don't let one quack doctor talk you out of that mindset."


"I have been taking linzess for three weeks. I have to get off it..I have been having terrible head pain. Feels more like I'm having vessel problems. I'm not going to risk having an aneurysm for a pill. I was scared this morning as the pain was almost unbearable."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I have a colostomy and this stuff filled my bag completely in an hour. I hate the taste and really having a hard time drinking the water after. I'm small and don't have that much room."


"Azithromycin failed to get rid of bronchitis. Switched to Avelox. No side effects, by the 2nd day, felt much better, got rid of congested feeling. It made me sweat more than usual, but sweating was nothing compared to menopausal hot flashes."


"Calmed me down enough to talk to the Psychiatrist and Social Worker when I had been detained under section 136 but didn't feel it very much and wore off quite quickly. Not as good as Diazepam"


"On it's own Wellbutrin SR 300mg/day didn't really do much for me. We then added Paxil 20mg and Klonopin 2mg along with the Wellbutrin and I have to say, this is a great combination. The Wellbutrin counteracts the sexual side-effects that go along with Paxil.  Wellbutrin by itelf is okay but in combination with Paxil and Klonopin, helped immensely.  Highly recommend. My mood is consistenly good, lots of energy. I feel social and light-hearted again. No side effects and I feel great."


"I'm 19 and I've been taking this medicine since 6th grade. It really helps now that I'm in College but there is one main thing I don't like about this medicine. It turns you into a zombie/robot effect. I'm a very sociable person but when I'm on this medicine I really become an anti-social person and sometimes I really get a "cracked out sort of feeling". Overall this medicine does help, but it does have it's side effects."


"Last July I had a full head of hair.  Like I always have . And then one fine day in October my hair started falling out.
At first it was just a little . I had developed a spot on the crown of my head that I didn't even notice .
Until someone pointed it out.
At first I didn't think anything of it.
I thought early onset of male pattern baldness. That's what I went on believing until I noticed my hair falling out in handfulls in the shower. I got an appointment with a dermatologist and was told
it was alopecia areata
He gave me topical solution that didn't help hardly any instead I got kenalog injections in my scalp
After 3 months I had significant regrowth all over my head here I am gaining more hair every day And hair loss has almost stopped"


"I am an embarrassed overweight person, having gained many lbs over the years. My insurance covered SOME of the cost and with the discounts offered I have been able to afford it.

I went to my doctor and started using Belviq 10 mg twice a day at the end of September. My starting weight was 326 lbs; I am 5'10". My doctor was amazed that at my last weigh in I had lost some 57 lbs.

My husband was SO proud of me, my doctor was also and he told me he was going to start prescribing it to each of his overweight patients that fit into the criteria indicated.

Thank you Belviq."


"I had two drastically different experiences with this BC. The first time was to regulate my periods because I was bleeding for 19 days a month for several months straight. Within 8-9 months, it did the job. Flash forward 4-5 years with very normal periods, and I got on Lolo for birth control. My normal periods went back to bleeding 19 days a month! I thought my body just needed to get used to it, but after 6 months, I had enough. It made me so moody that I cried nearly everyday. It was my husband who actually suggested I stop taking it because it was affecting our relationship so much. I'm not sure how or why this experience was so different from the first, but it's made me scared to try any kind of hormonal birth control again"


"For me this drug causede headaches everyday, nausea and gagging, and dry mouth all the time. I noticed a change in personality - easily agitated, I was "distant" and lost my "affectionate side". My doctor made me come off it slowly before I started Concerta. Coming off it is just as bad."


"I have taken Fiorinol for years and years and it is the most effective med I have ever found...who ever designed this medication I owe a debt of gratitude ...I will say that I can take one just one pill and in 20 minutes my pain is gone...I swear by this drug ....I just asked my doc for a refill and he now informs me it's not available...I have kaiser coverage and think that this is kaisers doing not that the med is no longer available...I will be very upset as this script works and works well and I don't take it on a regular basis a  have no addiction to it but need it when I need it!!!"


"I'm very obsessive. Somewhere around a few years ago I started obsessing and being paranoid about medications. So, as I'm sure you are all doing right now, you're looking up reviews on this medication to determine if you'll take it. Just like I did. I almost gave myself a panic attack thinking about possibly taking this medicine and then having a serious allergic reaction.
Luckily though, while speaking with my pharmacist he let me know I took this medicine last year and I remembered I was fine.
The point is, every medicine has adverse effects. Chances are, you won't have major side effects. "


"I started tanzeum in apr 2016. It has brought my numbers down somwehat but not nearly what it needs to be. I will find out in aug for sure if its really working. I usually have an upset stomach and loose stools 1-2 days after ive taken it. When i first started, i felt full pretty quick after i ate but thats kind of gone away. The jury for me is still out, not sure if this is the medication for me."


"I was having stomach pain and I had a bad vaginal yeast infection took too acidophilus probotics, and had immediate reaction. I feel sooooo much better. I bought the Advanced acidiphilus by Solgar and it really worked. Prior to taking the probotic i was feeling weak and very irritated. but now I feel fine.

Thank God I found something that really works."


"My partner has ED occasionally. He was advised to try Viagra. It was effective after about 2 hours when he achieved a really veiny, stiff erection. This was a great improvement and lasted as long as we needed and again the next morning, however, the side effects were unpleasant flu like symptoms ( ie. headache, sore throat, blocked nose etc.) which lasted for many days after. For this reason and due to the high expense we will only use this on 'special occasions' from now on, until we find an alternative."


"I was craving for sleep for the last few years. I used to feel so tired and no energy. I just take half of 25 mg of Seroquel and no matter what sort of physical pain or condition I am good to sleep. Waking up fresh next day. Have not had any side effects. Have been taking for the last three months. God Bless Astra Zenca."


"I have been on Loestrin Fe 24 for 5 months now (give it a chance) and although it was more bearable to take 5 mg of Lexapro for the anxiety that came along with it (I would wake up at 3:30 am each morning with anxiety for no reason at all), I now have noticed that I am experiencing more anxiety as well as some weight gain and small break outs. I went from a size 0 to a size 2 and now my size 2's are tight, especially in the buttocks region. Honestly, this pill is not that bad, but I would have to give Yaz a 10 as far as side effects -- no weight gain, a clear complexion and minimal anxiety. There is just one big negative about Yaz -- it may cause blood clots and that is pretty serious. I would recommend Loestrin 24 fe for women over 40 tho."


"The only negative side effects I've had is longer bleeding per cycle and mood swings when I go off and onto the pill. The mood swings happen with every type of birth control I've used, so that isn't so abnormal. The bleeding is a bit odd but the doctor said it was a normal side effect for the pill."


"I have been on it for a year now. My acne cleared up a lot! I am much more emotional over the last year and cried a lot more but I didn't think it was from the pills till I read the comments on here. I have gain some weight. My period is shorter than before, is now three days. I haven't gotten pregnant so it's working for me!"


"I'd been on Wellbutrin/Wellbutrin SR for over 15 years and it worked great until about a year ago when I started feeling I'd built up a tolerance to it.  Seeing that Aplenzin was basically the same, but in hydrobromide form instead of hydrochloride, I figured it would "trick" my body into reacting to it as a new medicine without losing the benefits. With the blessing of my psych doc, I switched and it appears to have worked.  I'd give 10 stars, except for the high cost."


"I still woke up after 3 hrs sleep but was able or seemed to fall back to sleep as it felt more like a daydream sleep..I still feel the need for a deep sleep ..What's strange is after falling back to sleep it seemed like 30 minutes would pass by  and I never fell back to sleep when 4 hrs actually passed by..."


"I was on Kariva for about three years. I took it because I am prone to migraines. The pill was great for regulating and lessening my menstruation cycle, however it did nothing to alleviate my migraines. I recently have switched to an IUD which has done the same but no migraines."


"I have ankylosing spondilitis. Although it relieves some pain, it makes me very drowsy and lightheaded."


"Taken in conjunction with Effexor (Effexor in morning and Remeron in evening) definitely helps with sleeping through the night.  For me, I needed 8-10 hours of dedicated sleep, any less and I felt groggy.  Sleep aide definitely.  Don't mix with alcohol or anything else to aide in sleep."


"I've had Nexplanon for 18 months and for me it's working well.  Had one period right after insertion and spotted only once in 18 months since.  No acne.  And my migraines have been much less frequent and less intense since getting Nexplanon.   However I have gained 18 lbs. despite significant reduction in calories and increase in exercise.   For that reason I'm having the Nexplanon removed soon and will try Skyla instead.   If it weren't for the weight gain, I'd give it a 10."


"This is INCREDIBLE. I get a lot of mouth ulcers due to the medication I'm on and Kenalog clears them up instantly (well, overnight). My mouth will go from being in so much pain I can barely talk, to completely fine in the space of hours."


"Absolute nightmare. I've have Nexplanon in my arm for 9 months and I've never experienced a more uncomfortable birth control in my life. I've never had acne in my life, now I break out all the time. Mood swings left and right that have led to full on breakdowns. I'm always tired, can't get out of bed some days. Get used to getting your period twice a month. Currently I'm on a period that has lasted over 3 weeks straight and I'm not talking spotting- it's a full on blood bath with visible clotting. I'm losing a lot of blood and it's completely ruined my sex life. I wouldn't recommend this to my worst enemy."


"I wish there was a way to give this a negative number.  I've had IBS for 14 years since having my gall bladder removed. I took the initial dose of this and not two hours later I was doubled over with severe pain right beneath my ribs. When the muscle spasms started, I went to the ER. I was admitted with pancreatitis and liver enzymes 10x normal. I spent 4 days in the hospital until my numbers were back to normal. I could not believe a pill could do this much damage in such a short time. Very Scary!"


"Great for panic attacks. And helps to stop my mind from racing at bedtime. Been on it for almost 6 yrs."


"Definitely not a fan. After being on it a full month I've experienced EXTREMELY low sex drive. This is coming from someone who typically enjoys sex. Now I view it more as a chore. Low energy, low mood. Headaches... the only thing that it did prevent was pregnancy! But I'm pretty sure it does that by making you never want to have sex in the first place."


"This is not all the doctors crack it up to be. I got my nexplanon inserted in February of 2017 and after a week I started bleeding and it has not stopped, it's currently July 2017. It also have taken away all of my energy and caused me to have severe mood problems. My doctor gave me estrogen pills to help with the bleeding but so far it hasn't stopped. Although, they did help with my mood. I never could remember to take my birth control pill, so I thought this was a good alternative, but it may be the worst decision that I have ever made. I'm giving it one more month to see if anything changes then I'm getting rid of it."


"I have been on Implanon for a few months now and I have had good and bad things happen. I have lost weight but I have had 3 periods and this recent one was the worst. I was sick, light-headed and dizzy. Then I had continued abdominal pain and pelvic pain, almost like labor pains. I enjoy the Implanon but I can do without the pain."


"Amazing presentation."


"My name says it all. I'm currently rolling on the ground, grabbing my crotch. It burns. It itches. I'm crying. It doesn't hurt, it's just INSANELY irritating. I'm going to try day 2, but idk if it'll work.."


"I tried this drug but it made me very tired.  I was so tired and slept for like 3 days until I realized the drug was doing it.  So I can't take it or I'll sleep for 20 hours at a time."


"This shot is ridiculous. Do not get it, you won't stop bleeding.  I got my first and only one in October 2016, I never went back for another one because I couldn't stop bleeding, I gained weight, no sex drive at all, it's awful.  Please don't get it. I can't even have sex because I can't stop bleeding, so why the heck did I get it in the first place.  Again it's ridiculous."


"I've had the intense headaches for months took one dose and gone!!! Worked for me tasted good"


"I hate this.

I got the implant in the beginning of December.  I've been on my period since new years eve, it not enough for a tampon, and too heavy for a liner. I'm basically wearing nasty pads because I have no other options. And these migranes are out of the wall.

I'm getting it removed as soon as possible"


"Started this medication in November of 2016. So far I have lost almost 30lbs. It works. It completely takes your mind of food. You still want to eat but not the constant obsessive thinking about eating and what you're going to eat next . I like to think this is what normal weight people must eat like. The weight has just slowly and steadily come off for me with minimal effort on my part other than reducing what I'm consuming.
My side effects have been minimal: slight tingling in fingers and toes occasionally, loss of concentration periodically, dry mouth sometimes but all of these things have been minor inconveniences and worth the weight loss and how I feel, overall given the pros and (serious) cons of this drug I would recommend."


"I am 5'4' female. My starting weight was 217 lbs.  I have been using  contrave for 3 weeks now.  My current weight is 200.  I was experiencing really bad headaches for the first week and went away.  I did notice my mood is a lot better. I'm more relaxed.  I sleep all night.  Before I had insomnia.  I  had the hardest time going to sleep, so that would lead my having a drink at night or take some sort of sleep aid.  I would also wake 2-3 times a night and stay up at least an hour each time.  Now I sleep all night and have not had to drink or take any sleep aids. The only complaint I have is the constipation."


"I was diagnosed years ago with dysmennorhea and every since then I have been completely miserable while on my periods. (Back pain, leg pain, cramping, clots, diarrhea, nausea, loss of appetite, etc) I couldn't attend work or school because it made me so sick. I felt like the pain was worsening every month.. Tylenol quit working, tramadol had no effect, I had to take a Lortab to feel relief. So I asked my Dr for birth control pills and since taking them I have such a light period I forgot I was on it.. it only lasted four days. I am relieved of the horrible symptoms and I can finally live a normal life. However there were side effects of this drug, as expected (rash, nausea, loss of appetite, vaginal infection)  but they are manageable."


"Your body will either love or hate the Implanon. I had the Implanon for one and a half years, and for me it was bad. I gained 5kgs, and would go through these cycles - two weeks on, two weeks off - of non-stop bleeding, mood swings that nearby altered my personality, and a huge increase in anxiety. I actually thought I was mentally unwell, and my doctor was so reluctant to take it out, over and over again convincing me to keep it in. But then I insisted on switching to Yaz, which worked beautifully with my body- I am myself again, losing weight was easier (I'm back to my usual weight) and my cycle is back to normal. "


"I have been off and on this medication this last time due to losing insurance and couldn't afford it.  I got my insurance back and happily my insurance pays for it and only a copay of $10.  Yes the first few days I have a headache so I slowly start taking it then once I'm used to it I started them twice a day.  I love this medicine.  It curbs my appetite and the one month I have been using lost 5 lbs.  I have to make myself eat sometimes.  I have knee problems and this has helped me to lose the weight since I can no longer work out like I used to."


"been taking tamsulosin for eight years. had some side effects from the beginning. Rash on chest.Flu symptoms. Extremely uncomfortable nasal problems. Tinnitus. Feeling very cold in bed, even with extra bedding on. Very hot sweats at night. Numb tingly, itching feet. Itching face and around eyes. Blurred vision, had to give up driving. Backache. Not all these symptoms at the same time but getting worse. Still uncomfortable urination. Now have urinary incontinence. Waiting to see Urologist to discuss surgery so I can come off this damned medication."


"I found Zyban to be very effective and easy to use. I only experienced a few mild side effects (slight constipation, food tasted a bit different).  But I'd tried quitting before using gum, microtabs, patches - and none of these worked for me.  Thanks to Zyban, it's been over four months since I smoked a cigarette and haven't turned back - proud to be a non-smoker!"


"My husband has Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris also, he is using triamcinolone cream and it is working great on his PRP. Did not know that he could do a shot to clear his feet up faster. Thank you for the information."


"Before taking gabapentin I had difficulty walking and getting a good night's sleep.  I would constantly get shooting pains up and down my legs, as well as both feet. In just a few days after beginning taking gabapentin, the majority of the shooting pain in the legs subsided.  The pain in the feet is more tolerable as well.  Just wonder how long this "miracle" medicine will continue working for me."


"Had serious chronic sinusitis with inflammation in the upper sinus and in the nose. The medicine helped significantly but I get a painful side effect, my whole upper muscles around the shoulders and neck became very tight, stiff and sore. "


"I was given a cocktail of reglan and Benadryl for a migraine at the ER. Within no time the migraine was gone, but a few minutes later I got an awful panic attack. I thought was going to die. I wanted to rip the iv out of my arm. When this happened my boyfriend got the doctor and she said this happens to about 50% of people. Since I'm so small they started with only a half dose of Benadryl to make me sleep, but after I couldn't sleep because of the side effects from reglan they gave me the other half dose. I am lucky to have had my bf there to get a nurse and calm me, and I'm lucky they could give me more Benadryl. I will not take this medicine again. If you have to take reglan bring someone to help you, but I suggest not taking this at all."


"So far, I am on week 4 with little side effects except for insomnia and dry skin. This is so much better than Interferon combination."


"I've been taking Celexa 20mg for almost six months, and it has helped me with my social anxiety. It's a lot easier to use the strategies that my psychologist talks about. However, a warning must be given. Celexa has not been a 'magic bullet'. I still have to do a lot of work to not be anxious. However, it has helped me so much that I can't think about quitting any time soon."


"I agree, Xanax works well but in limited duration - Klonopin is better because it relaxes you for longer. Just mellows you out so you don't freak out- has changed my life and made it better. My doctor told me to let it dissolve on my tongue, since I have issues with burning tongue from a nerve injury. This has added benefits of helping me not panic about the pain, and other things I feel out of control of in my life. I take a small dose and feel that I can continue taking for awhile without negative side effects, though it can make you a little drowsy during the work day."


"Been on this for about a year and a half. I actually do like it because it's convenient and you only have to get it every three months. I, however, have gained about 25 pounds. It makes you want to eat everything in sight and makes you an emotional being. It did not mess with my libido, which is a good thing. I don't get my period.. just usually spotting about two weeks before I'm due for another shot."


"Had to use this 3 times per day at least. It wasn't working and I ran out of it in 2 weeks. I gave it another shot but then doctor switched me to Lastacaft, which is working better at once per day."


"First time when I took Tegretol, it worked immediately and the pain went away. The pain comes and go every year and the most importantly the pain was not bad last 4 years that I did not even take Tegretol.  This time the pain is unbearable so I'm on Tegretol. Even with the medication still feel the shock once in awhile. Definately feels better with Tegretol. The side effects, for me, sleepiness, weight gain, excitement with no reason."


"I am a 32 year old male, 6'2" 318 before I started taking Adipex.  I was a college football player, so I know how to diet and exercise.  However after having a few kids involved in EVERYTHING, a good job, and a wife that is an incredible cook, I packed on the LBS!  Adipex has given me the energy to hit the gym, and stay involved once I get home too, no crash and burn like a lot of those "energy supplements".  I do get dry mouth everyday. The first week or so I would almost forget to eat.  You have to force yourself to eat, so if your going to do that you might as well eat healthy.  I am working out 4 times a week for an hour at time.  If I had to guess I am down about 20lbs, I go back to the doctor next week for a weigh in and refill."


"I was on 10mg Prozac for general anxiety and panic attacks for 2 years. I had no side effects and my panic attacks decreased tremendously. However I recently started having them again so my doc worked me up to 40mg/day. I feel happy. But I feel like it is too much. I don't feel love anymore, and I feel like my emotions are so flat that although I'm not getting the panic attacks, I would almost rather deal with them than be unable to feel emotions. I have been dating a guy for 2 years, and all of a sudden after being on 40mg daily for six weeks I don't feel like I'm in love with him anymore. I can't tell if it is because of the medication or if it is actually me. I will be talking to my doc about decreasing my dose to 20mg."


"I've been on this medication now for 11 days and on the 10th day I got a bad rash on my whole body from neck to toe. I've stopped the medication and will continue when the rash goes away. I also have had my blood pressure raise quite a bit. I don't really like the way the medicine makes me feel but if it will give me a few more years on this earth I guess I can make a go of it!"


"This stuff is pretty potent, but AMAZING. I love this. I am 22 years old now and have had acne since I was 14. I tried everything out there, from soap, to creams, to every lotion and pill, and NOTHING worked for me. I even tried Proactive for a few months, and saw no results. I have been on ACCUTANE now for almost 3 months, and my acne is gone. And it's really simple, all you do it take a pill once a day, and the power of Accutane just completely destroys your acne. The only side effect I have noticed is dry lips and skin, but it's okay as long as I carry chapstick and lotion and I'm alright. But other then that, this is a cure for me and I only have 3 months left."


"Okay, so I started citilopram about 2-3 months ago. Because I started off having bad anxiety attacks, and I didn't even know what they were till I got diagnosed with the mental illness, and a few weeks after that, came along depression. And both of them, were always getting me down, they also took a big chunk out of me. Like they made me feel down about myself. Made me feel suicidal. And stuff, so my mom and I finally decided to see the doctor and get the medication called "citalopram" and it was the best thing that I ever got onto, is it hard to quit? Yes. Because the effects of not taking the pill, is like you feel down, thoughts come running through your head, suicidal like I said. Etc, so anyways, I highly recommend this medication."


"Actually , I am still on the first month and I can tell I barely have side effects. In the first week I had naussea but It went away.There is no effect on my weight. Also I dont have increased apetite. My hair also has not changed. I take the pill in order to cure my acne. I can tell through the first month there is no increasing or worsening my skin situation before getting better. I think it is going to help me treating my acne very well and I am waiting for results."


"Tailbone injury, quite severe pain. Percocet is working wonders. Stopped taking Percocet 1 month after the injury, a very painful experience. Continuing the medication until I get into physiotherapy. Doctor says physio should help with the pain. I plan on stopping the Percocet once the pain becomes bearable to live with."


"Seems to allow for less CD/LD.  I think it is minimizing my tremor, allowing me to lower L-Dopa dosage, yet paradoxically, it seems to be increasing my Dyskinesia."


"This is my second birth control, I started off with Microgestin and it worked okay for me but my periods were extremely irregular and my breasts were so sore that even slightly touching them on accident would hurt a lot. Now that I've been through a full pack of Lutera, I really do like it. Other than the fact that I seem to cry at every little thing and seem to irritate a little more easily, my period was on point this month, and it lasted only 4 days. Although before I started, I cramped really terribly, I'm thinking that since it was my first month on Lutera, that should subside as my body gets used to it. My skin is the clearest it's ever been, my breasts grew a little, I gained a little weight, but it seems to work for me quite nicely!"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"Was on this pill for 2 months and had extreme mood swings, heavier periods, cramping and acne. I did not experience any weight gain. This is the 3rd pill I have tried but did not like."


"Began taking Forxiga 10 mg/day in October 2015.  With determination of drinking 8 glasses of water a day, exercising 3 times a week (one hour) and eating more protein and salads at dinner I have lost 40lbs.  This medication is great but never fool yourself that medication on its own can make you loose weight."


"After my d&c last year, I had celebrex 200mg as needed for pain daily x 7 days. It was great. Last week after I had an endo-ablation. I was the first one to ask my doctor; for celebrex again. It is one of the best non-narcotic pain medication."


"I got my gallbladder removed a little over 2 years ago. I could not eat anything. Most drinks would even make me sick. I have seen several doctors, but the GI doctor gave me Welchol and I take two 625mg pills twice a day with food. I no longer have to watch what I eat. I have been prescribed several meds prior to Welchol, but nothing helped. 4 pills sounds like a lot, but if needed I can even take 6 pills per day. I never have to take more than 4 though. Ask your doctor for these. You will not be sorry!"


"64 year old male who recently underwent prostate cancer surgery. I have tried Cialis in the past and it worked fine. Recently I tried Staxyn (recommended by my pharmacist as a cheaper alternative) and found it to be every bit as good as the higher priced products. I cut them in half (they go twice as far!) and they still work amazingly well. I get the flushed face routine and a stuffy nose but I also get hard as a rock so great trade off."


"I am a 53 year old female. I have suffered from migraine since I was 12. I get cluster migraines and sometimes 2-3 a day after they break. My life has been on hold the past 8 years as I couldn't drive due to migraines coming on without notice and could not even take/ go see my grand daughters due to lights, migraines, you get it.
So I was started on topiramate 25 mg, 1x at bed, for week, and each week increase 25 mg till I reach 100 mg. I also suffered daily headaches  this is my 4th week. Until reading reviews I did not know about hair loss or tingling. I have not had one migraine since starting but think I'm going to stay on 50mg for now as they seem to work. I have notice I can't eat much and soda and even coffee taste awful."


"I have been taking lisdexamfetamine since end of May 2013 but for weight loss. I noticed during a 10 day period I had to go off of lisdexamfetamine how much it helped me focus and function. I completed daily tasks and projects I even went back to finish college. I learned through this that I have ADHD I never knew this before. I knew of learning disabilities and vision problems from grade school no one ever tested or diagnosed me with ADHD/ADD until now and I am mid 40's basically started life over again now. I have noticed that I do feel the medication wearing off starting about 2-3pm but more of the energy part of medication I seem to still be able to focus most days. I started a vitamin supplements in the afternoons now."


"Getting it is a shot in the dark.

My periods were all over the place (sometimes twice a month, sometimes once every 3 months), excruciating pain on periods, heavy bleeding lasting for 7 days minimum. Twice during that 3 years, I've started spotting non stop for 1-2 months. The last straw was a period of constant spotting for 3 months that eventually transformed into bleeding. Today, 4 days after it's been taken out, I am still bleeding as much, and I became anemic. The constant wearing of pads has irritated my vagina. Sex is not even part of my life anymore, I just feel disgusting all the time... Kind of ironic when you think I got it as a birth control.

But hey, at least it didn't get lodged, so I'll give it 2 stars."


"I had smoked for nearly 45 years. I was constantly short of breath and congested at night. I couldn't sleep. Went to the doctor. He asked me if I wanted to quit smoking. I said I guess so.He told me about a new medicine that just came out. He said insurance would not pay for it. At that point, I was more than happy to pay out of pocket for the chance to quit. Since quitting I later found out about the side effects of this medication. I did not experience any ill effects from taking Chantix. In fact, I would not drink alcohol while taking it though."


"About 2 years ago, I was prescribed Remeron. I immediately got my appetite back. But then unfortunately about a week later my legs, ankles, feet, hands, and wrists were terribly swollen. So much that it hurt to walk. The doctor told me to stop taking it and the swelling went away."


"I am getting ready for a colonoscopy and I am taking these two days prior. I was thinking since I have problems with constipation I would take 2 with dinner and then I took 3 before I go to bed. I woke up in the most painful cramps and have been peeing out my butt for 3 minutes. I would recommend not taking more then 1. I was stupid because I thought it wouldn't help. Wow was I wrong."


"Voltaren 1% gel was prescribed for my elderly (92 year old) friend for foot pain.  She had a negative reaction to the first application and would not try it again.  In desperation and since I have a type of neuropathy in my feet and cannot fall asleep, I applied 1/2 the dosage she was prescribed.  To my surprise it allows me to fall asleep at night without the pain and discomfort in my feet.  I will be seeing my doctor to get this prescribed for me!  I have been looking for relief for over 5 years!"


"I've had constant spotting for the last 3 1\2 months after I got it placed 4 months ago, and when the spotting stopped 2 wks ago and I have not had my period since having it placed, just spotting. I did talk with my reg doc, and she said a copper IUD can cause a hormone imbalance, and this is prbly why I haven't had my period and have had hot flashes, the way to fix this I would have to go on BCP, it completely defeats the purpose of having a non hormonal IUD.I have constant cramps, pain during intercourse, gained 20 pounds (in 4 months), hot flashes, I smell like stinky fishing bait ,and I'm positive I can feel it when I move the wrong way. I'm sick of smelling like an fish all the time. I need it out ASAP."


"I have had the absolutely worst time with this birth control. At first, I was on the original Seasonique - I had to switch to the Lo Seasonique because with the original, I had the worst cramping, moodiness, bleeding, ever. I thought the lower strength would be the perfect pill for me. Boy, was I ever wrong. I haven't had a regular period yet, and I have been taking this medication for over a year. I bleed an average of 21 days - I am period-free one week, and then have a full-brown cycle for five days. The 3-month period-free thing sounded so good - especially because I usually miss work or class because of horrible periods, but this was very counterproductive. I'm going to try the implant or go back to the regular pill."


"I would like to say that I went to the E.R and they couldn't find out why I was having the chest pains also PE (pulmonary embolism) had been ruled out. Every time I took a breath it was so painful they were giving me morphine every hour the pain would not subside, so I went to my primary care physician and he diagnosed me with pleurisy which is a inflammation of the lining of your lungs so he prescribed Indocin for me and after one day I started getting serious relief."


"After years of trying bc pills to regulate my hormones and try to stop crippling daily migraines & vomiting I tried  Seasonique . For the first time I've been migraine free since I started . It also stopped the bleeding I'd had for weeks. I finally am able to normal things like clean my home without feeling faint n puking. I am happy and pain free. No migraines no painful bloating. I was about ready to give up on life . I had zero hope. I finally feel what it's like to be normal & not constantly ill."


"Had not been on birth control for many years and decided that I should go back on as my husband and I were not planning to have kids.  I had previously been on Loestrin years before for painful periods and heavy bleeding, but after taking that for a few years those side effects diminished and I stopped taking birth control.  With Ortho-Cept my periods immediately started getting extremely painful again, maybe even worse than in the past.  Also, I developed symptoms of Acid Reflux which I have never had before (it is a gross feeling).  Have always had decent sized breasts but with Ortho-Cept I gained probably about 15 pounds and became a triple D.  Also was nauseous all the time.  Anxious to switch back to LoEstrin!!"


"Hello ladies and gentlemen lol I know men look on here as well. For my experiences I have took plan b in the past(January 2015)and worked perfect though it did make my period come earlier. I did notice some slight sharp pains in my abdomen but that was all. I took it again(July 2016) and this one worked well. No early period but I did have more abdominal pain and I noticed I was really sensitive somewhat like pms. I took one again recently this September and I got my period like three days earlier this month(October) so that wasn't really an issue. I had no abdominal pain, this one was fine. Until just yesterday I got my period again so that is twice in one month. First time it happened but just be aware from my experience. Plan b worked."


"I've been on birth control for about 3 years now. My doctor first put me on Previfem. About a year later I was switched to Estarylla. I've always had mild acne so I can't tell if it is from this pill or not, but I constantly have pimples on my face and a few on my chest. It's nothing super noticeable or major, but I feel as Previfem did a better job in keeping my skin clearer than Estarylla. On Previfem I gained about 10 pounds and on this new pill I have lost it all. I get HORRIBLE cramps the day before my period and the first day that it starts. But it always starts on the same day around the same time, so it is very regulated. It is also very effective as in I have not gotten pregnant from either of these pills I have been on."


"I have yet to feel any relief using Flector Patches. I have end stage bone disease."


"I had been taking Norco for the past 2 months and I have to say that I really don't like it. It really upsets my stomach. I wish I could find something that works but doesn't make me feel like this."


"HORRIBLE! If you are  use to taking ortho tri cycline lo, this is not a substitute! I've had crazy mood swings, depression, Fatigue, bleeding, nausea day and waking me up at night, and to make it worse I've am broken out worse than I have been in years. Almost worse than I had in middle school and I'm 31. Stay away!"


"I was first given Zolpidem (Stilnoct) by my sister so I could get some sleep on a very long flight. She told me "don't take it, then go to the loo... you'll collapse in the aisle and they won't be able to move you!". Took one, got as comfy as possible with eyemask, earplugs, blanket etc. Gave up trying to get to sleep after 1.5 hours. Useless.

I was then prescribed them for insomnia several years ago. Fine if I took one occasionally when I was desperate, but if I took them 2 or 3 nights running, I'd swing wildly between murderous rage and suicidal depression. Threw them in the bin before I killed myself or someone else! I've been using herbal tabs for years now, and they relax me enough to get to sleep, much better."


"My feet were constantly "freezing", even in the Summer!  Once I talked to my Rheumatologist, he prescribed Nitro Bid twice daily, and I haven't had a problem since then with circulation to my feet."


"First i had explanon then they changed it to nexplanon. This is my 3rd time having it in so safe to say i love it. I have 2 periods a year sometimes last 2 weeks sometimes a couple of days.  I do get very light spotting from time to time. I have gained plenty of weight but not in the right places. I do cramp even if i get no cycle but doesn't bother me.  I have never had a scare n i love 2 cycles a year.  Works soon as you put it in. Stops working soon as it is out."


"I have suffered from IBS Constipation/Diarrhea for as long as I can remember. I took this medicine for a year and a half along with Dycyclomine. It seemed to work for a couple months but then the symptoms came back. I consider myself a very active woman, working out at least 5 days a week, yoga, clean eating... I noticed as soon as I started taking the medicine I gained 10 pounds, lost all of energy and had severe muscle and joint aching. I continued the medicine and went back to the doctor with questions. Recently I had an episode and I received a full abdominal ultrasound. Everything normal but full of gas that would not move. I decided to stop the meds and a week later all the side effects are gone."


"Had 2 Ventricular ablations and now on Metoprolol Succinate to keep the left over beats at bay. Doing a good job so far."


"I switched to Apri because my insurance company didn't approve Tri Lo MARZIA.  I got put on birth control because of my heavy periods.  After a week on Apri, I started to have migraines every 3 days.  I would throw up and it would make me really moody and I would cry at the drop of a hat.  When we told the insurance company what was going on,  they wouldn't pay for the Tri Lo Marzia.  So,  I got a GoodRX card to help with the cost."


"Amazing drug! I'm 30 and suffering from little ED stress related, I met an amazing woman but I was to stressed to keep a hard one. Decided to try Viagra, took a 50 mg and after 30 minutes we had the most amazing sex ever! I swear that we had sex for two hours, she climaxed multiple times and I only climaxed when I decided to,  At no time did I have any problems during sex and never experienced any side effects."


"I was diagnosed with Juvinile Myoclonic Epilepsy when I was 16. For nearly two years now I have been on Valparin. Although I haven't had a siezure for that duration at all, I must say there were some unpleasant side effects. Firstly, it made me loose my focus very easily. I was getting distracted at the slightest of provocation. It also made me unable to cry, you know, to let it all out just wasn't possible. And then there was also some bouts of depression that made me wonder if I am on the right drug. My final opinion is that take this med for a longer duration only if you can cope up with the side effects. Talk to your doctor if you feel uncomfortable with this drug."


"It is unbelievable what a person has to go through to get pain relief. Physicians don't seem to distinguish between real and fake in spite of a patient with no history of narcotic or opiod use.
I was going into two weeks of an RA flair and in between rheumatologists. Barely able to walk or use my hands that were red and swollen like sausages and unable to speak without crying, I attempted my best to explain to my doc I was having an RA flair. He prescribed Lyrica.
I went to an ortho surgeon asked for cortisone hand injections. Nope.
Went to podiatrist asked for cortisone injections so I could walk. He gave me one, going back in 3 days for other foot.
Ended up taking 3 generic 10 mg Flexeril. Went to bed, slept all nite, woke up pain free."


"Great for severe muscle pain and spasms."


"I started taking pain pills at age 15 and in a year tops I was a full blown addict. I decided to get on suboxone. I have been on it for about 5 months now and it has been great for me. I love it, it is definitely a miracle drug and I would recommend it to anyone. Of course you have to be in the right frame of mind or else it probably won't do a bit of good."


"I like it, but my periods are now 2 weeks long. Not used to it and its annoyying."


"I promised myself that if this pill worked, I would share my experience because reading your reviews helped me a lot. I'm only 17 and last week, I had my first time and  the condom broke and he came inside me. 15 minutes later we were rushing to buy Plan B One Step and I took it quickly. The only side effect I had was diarrhea. I was very scared because after taking the pill, we had unprotected sex (I know, that was stupid). I waited 2 LONG WEEKS haha. My period was delayed for two days, and today I got up reading these reviews and thinking that today I would buy the pregnancy test. I got out of bed and went to the bathroom and I saw my period. This pill works by girls. I'm SO HAPPY, relax yourselves, don't think about it! THE PILL WORKS!"


"I've been using ibuprofen for years and lately it has not been as effective and bothering my stomach with use of Fosamax too. Doctor switched me to Etolodac 400mg TR twice a day and I am happy he did. The stomach is handling it better with me, and the pain has gone to little or none based on the day. This was a wonderful relief as he had tried me on Celebrex and another previously and the ibuprofen worked better then. Now with the ibuprofen being less effective I am glad to have found this one."


"I have been on Sprintec for 20 days now and am still bleeding really badly. Super moody, depressed, no sex drive, nausea, weight loss, extremely tired, dizzy. Hoping that my period ends soon, or I will be switching."


"I have tried almost everything under the sun as related to acne medicine. The only thing that worked for me is Aczone. I have only been using it for 10 days now but my face has cleared up so fast. I have never seen my skin look so good in the last 5 years. It doesn't irritate the skin and goes on very light and absorbs right in. Highly, highly recommended."


"In the beginning  stomach aches and loss of appetite but now I've got my eyesight back to normal, no longer thirsty and best of all, I've lost weight, truly a win win situation."


"Savella works great. But the 1st week of side effects while titrating are uncomfortable. After that, it's great for energy, pain and brain fog though it takes a couple months to see dramatic improvement. People who stopped taking it after the 1st week didn't take it properly and aren't giving it a real chance. It's not a pain pill; doesn't work instantly. Important to remember: Take it early and with food. I take it at 5 am and 2 pm (7 weeks now). If not taken correctly, it'll cause headaches/nausea. Don't give up; give it 2 months to work. Doctors also aren't telling patients: It's an SNRI so don't take it with other serotonin affecting antidepressants or it'll make you sick (serotonin syndrome). Give it a chance; Savella helps A LOT."


"I've been on this medication for 4 days, on the 3rd day my vision began getting blurry which caused a slight headache. Day 4 my vision is so blurred I can barely see. I began seeing white spots in my left eye only and now I have a migraine with light sensitivity. It's hard to work, walk or even have my eyes open. I agree with everyone else on here the taste is awful and it does work, but I would like to keep my vision. My Dr recommended I stopped taking it immediately until they find an alternative."


"This is the third birth control I've taken. I have been on Lo Loestrin for about 3 years then switched to Minastrin for a year then stopped. After a year off of bc I decided to go back on and was prescribed Junel Fe. I to had night sweats, spotting, migranes, lost feeling in limbs, and nausea in the morning. On top of really bad breast tenderness, depression, and my entire body was bloated. I would not advise to take."


"Worked very well. Was surprised at the quality of my sleep. I woke up and felt like a new person. I slept just over 8 hours or so. Will take again. Doctor said there is no addictive potential."


"One hour after my first dose I had chills, stomach pain and then a SEIZURE. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE."


"I've been on the patch for over a year and I love it. I had a bad experience with the nexplanon and breakthrough bleeding. I don't have that issue with the patch. I do not have extreme mood swings or weight gain either. The only downside to it is that I get nauseous for a day or two on the 1st week after the no patch week."


"I have been suffering with abominable head/back pain (pain lasting around the clock for up to 4-5 days straight) as well as abdominal pains with constant vomiting and no ability to lead a normal life including having to take a leave of absence from my job.  In '11 alone I was hospitalized 4 times 4 months in a row. One stay I was vomiting blood and passing it in my stool. In the ER Dilaudid IV gave me relief. Was given it every 2 hours. Zofran and Dilaudid helped at home too. My doctor put me on Vicodin inlieu of Dilaudid saying the latter was habit forming. Since then no relief of pains. Dilaudid 4mg helped great. Miracle medicine."


"I felt compelled to update my expirience with Buspirone after first reviewing this medication over 4 weeks ago now. My initial review was a positive one, after only 3 days the mental fog had disappeared but the anxiety still remained. Unfortunately this has remained the case up till now, therefore I'm going to try some Prozac with this to help with the depression it causes."


"I'm on day 2 on flagyl and amoxil. The only side effect I've experienced, is bad headaches. Other than that, im just waiting for them to work. This tooth infection will be the end of me!!"


"It works to get rid of the yeast infection but the cream does burn at first and in the morning I wake up itchy. During the day I can tell its much better. Even though the product is a little itchy. I will use again. I get lots of yeast infections."


"This was my fifth colonoscopy but my first with Prepopik.  Compared to having to consume huge volumes of disgusting fluid in previous colonoscopies, this was not so bad.  The Prepopik itself was not bad tasting--it had a citrus flavor.  I had to drink 40 oz. of water over five hours after taking the first dose the night before the procedure.  About 45 minutes after the first dose, it started working.  When I went to bed, I was concerned that it was not working because I had a lot fewer BMs than with previous colonoscopies.

The morning of the procedure, I had to get up at 4:30 (four hours before the actual procedure) to take another does followed by 24 fluid oz. of water over an hour.  Doctor said I was super clean, so it worked fine!"


"I just started to go into withdraw from not using herion for close to 20 hrs and a friend of mine kicked a week ago with the help of Suboxone. He gave me 2 8mg pills instructed me to take 1/2 under tongue and if need be take 2mg more if needed tonight, it's 3 in the afternoon right now. He said it worked wonders for him and will give me more to  ween off of it day 3 And day 4. My question is does this really work to help suppress WD symptoms I'm scared and wanna no what to expect. It's def time for a life change and will do anything to get this monkey off my back. Please give me some advise and any answers and words of strength would be greatly appreciated
Thank you in advance
Little drummer boy."


"Gave me bad gas."


"I wanted to share my experience after reading several reviews. I had the procedure about 10 hours ago, and I do have a high pain tolerance. I felt as though the procedure was uncomfortable but not really painful. I have not had any cramps or discomfort all evening with very minor spotting. So far things are going well. I did take 800mg of Ibuprofen before the insertion but nothing since."


"This works. Simple as that. One use and it works wonders. The only problem I've had was having bad irritation. Itching, burning, and quite painful tbh. It works tho if you can get through the pain."

"Took this for 4 months after having a baby. Having cravings for sugar and carbs. Severe breast tenderness and SEVERE mood swings and depression. I have severe hot flashes and feel like a menopausal woman. They did all kinds of testing on me and said it must be this pill causing it. I'm going off it next week! It has completely changed my personality and made me into an angry hormonal woman with mood swings daily."


"I had Nexplanon for 6 years total, I have mixed reviews on it. It was extremely effective at preventing pregnancy, and I didn't have periods at all while I had it! My only negative points would be horrible weight gain during the duration of having it and the weight was near impossible to lose. I recently had Nexplanon removed and immediately experienced mood swings and drop in my sex drive. Hopefully after my hormones rebalance I will feel normal! Other than that, no complaints! Definitely recommend for someone who does not want children for 3+ years"


"Had extreme allergic reaction. Told these reactions not uncommon. Take Care."


"I have been on Jolessa for 9 years. I have my period 2 days after starting the sugar pill, an its always been the same and right on time. I don't have acne except an occasional zit or two, my weight for the nine years has been the same beside small weight gain. I started Jolessa when I was 15-16 and I'm 24 now. I've never had a problem. And I haven't gotten pregnant. I don't take it at the exact same time. I just take it when I wake up or remember. Thus far I love it! I'm also very active in sports so its nice only having a period every 3 months. I will say that after a year or so of taking Jolessa I did lose the sex drive. That lasted about 1-2 years, but it came back two fold."


"Yeaterday got my 4th injection in 4 months at home by a nurse!
I think it's working very well so far.....I have taken many other  types of medicines over 7 years with  big side effects for RA.
I have had Ulcerative Colitis  for 15 years and took some meds for that. Because of side effects I began a very stringent diet, (specific carbohydrate diet).
I eventually got better and all UC symptoms stopped. Years later went off the diet and was soon reduced to suffering immensely with undiagnosed  RA symptoms.
I believe  my diet  contributes to my symptoms. I know food chemicals  can cause inflammation  and I know UC is cousin to RA.
I  come from generations of alcoholics and am recovering  for 27 years. Sugar is a deadly &  strong addiction.
Today I was lethargic "


"The problem I ran into however was it's side effects.  I had to stop taking it as it affected my breathing to the point that I couldn't walk half a block without gasping for air.  To this day I still have respiratory problems after taking this."


"I've been using Axiron for a year now and have mostly enjoyed the results.   My T level was 293 before starting Axiron & now is roughly 570 at quarterly
blood tests.  I've experienced the good results, alertness, happiness and
an overall feeling of well being.  I also take 125 mcg of Thyroid med every
morning for hypothyroidism, my Cholestorol is 118, down from 400.  I have no complaints about Axiron except what has happened to my testicles.  They were big, and hung down nicely.  I noticed after about 5 months on Axiron that they weren't hanging down as normal, but I chalked that up to age, more than using Axiron for my TRT.....  after paying closer attention, I now have testicles that are about 60% of their pre-Axiron size.  "


"I find most of these reviews funny. Most of the reviews are from young girls who don't have any children yet. So when they write "extremely painful", "worst pain", "excruciating pain when they put it in" I literally want to laugh. It is NOTHING compared to childbirth. I honestly didn't even flinch when they put it in. I had my daughter in September and got it inserted a week ago yesterday (January 4th). Yes, there was some cramping and a little bleeding, but nothing an ibuprofen and little panty liner couldn't handle. My husband and I don't want to have another baby until our daughter is a year old, and after discussing with my OB this was the best choice for us. I recommend this to anyone EVERYDAY over having to take the pill every night."


"Keflex treated my bladder infection successfully with no noticeable side effects, and was also very affordable."


"I was on a 3 day dose, and wouldn't have been able to stay on it any longer than that. My skin became red and dry. It felt like I had a full body sunburn. It did it's job as far as my infection, but now I always list this drug when asked for drug allergies."


"I'm on a 3-day regimen.  Though this product was very easy to use, and I felt no burning, itching, or pain whatsoever, and it does seem to be working, I did have a strange feeling in my lower abdomen.  I have a flat stomach, and my stomach bloated up in that region and felt like I had fluid build up underneath, like there was a water balloon inside!  I searched for side effects, both on the medicine instruction manual and on-line and have not found this to even be listed as a possible side effect reported.  My thinking is that this medicine must foam up inside the vagina in order to cover every area inside needing treatment, but again there is no report of how it works once it is administered. "


"A new med I have been prescribed is causing dependent edema to lower legs. Pamabrom taken three times a day is alleviating the swelling far better than I would have guessed an OTC diuretic could. Great product."


"Monistat 7 did nothing but made me itch and burn more. I was told to let it work but it was so painful it bought me to tears. Hurts worse than the infection."


"Excellent"


"I've been taking this pill for five months. I wanted a contraceptive pill which would control my acne and which would have a lower dosage of hormones as well (I was taking Yaz before). I happen to be very sensitive to hormones. With this pill though, I got cystic acne on my forehead, on my temples, on my cheeks, on my chin and on my neck. I have an acne-prone skin but I have never had such bad acne than since I started this pill ! Also, my mood swings are a rollercoaster and I can feel sad and cry for no reason in the middle of the day and feel happy again right after that. I am done with this pill and am going to find another birth control solution."


"I am on bupropion SR for 2.5 months and it's been pretty good so far. I don't sleep all the time like on citalopram and my weight stayed the same with a slightly diminished appetite. The depression is mostly gone even though I'm unemployed for a long time living off dwindling savings. But I'm actually trying to get work now since I have more energy and feel generally better than ever despite the economy. My libido isn't much despite other comments here.
Some anxiety still there and a few drinks in the evening help that.
The biggest side effect is extreme sweating when it is humid and above 70 degrees. It's embarrassing.
For me, bupropion (Wellbutrin SR) 100mg twice a day mostly works. Good luck."


"After taking my 4th dose I had a stroke. After testing there was no clear reason for the stroke and trulicy was my only new medicine. I wouldn't take it until the risks of stroke from this med is determined"


"Has helped me from the day I first took a sample pack from my Doctor! It's changed my life for the better,no worries about having to know where a restroom is,can be out and about like I use to be. Thank you"


"I have psychogenic itching. No other way to describe it. I have to scratch, my hands, body, everywhere! I also have anxiety and depression, so I told my doctor and therapist about the horror of this itchiness...I have been taking this medication for a few years, and I can't take it when I have work or school...I'm totally groggy the next day. It doesn't help now as much as it used to, but for days when I'm suffering; I have to take it."


"Caused suicidal ideation"


"I hate uti's must had it bad bc cranberry 100%real juice did not work!  As always this is what I'm prescribed.  I hate that people had awful/bad experience with the drug.  I love it, works every time!!  Don't know if I'm allowed to say but it sounds to me some might have had an allergic reaction or their body plain just didn't like it!  But I've never had problems and greatful for this antibiotic!!"


"I tried Chantix 2 yrs ago.  I was 63 and smoked a pack to a pack and a half a day since I was 18.  Had quit cold turkey 2ce for more than 2 yrs each time, but ended up going back to the cigarettes. No one ever told me there was support, so I just took it as prescribed.  During the first week I had NO ability to cut down, much less quit.  I was going thru a breakup of a 20 yr relationship and did not get suicidal feelings, I got homicidal ones.  I am soooo not a violent person, and wanting to hurt someone was something I had never experienced.  I became really agitated and short tempered.  Finally gave up after 2 mos (never did manage to totally quit smoking).  Took me about 3 mos to get back to normal."


"Okay got the Skyla IUD inserted today, i work in a OB/GYN office so i am well aware of the side effects and advantages however i have tried pills and the Nuvaring and they did not work for me. So my best option was trying a IUD.. The insertion process wasn't bad the only thing that was weird was being on your cycle. But the actual insertion of the device took about 30 seconds or less i was not even aware that it was in. The cramping lasted for about an hour it felt like pre- cycle cramping or first day cramping. Not extremely bad just uncomfortable and they went away with some ibuprofen. I would do it again so ladies please review the side effects and remember that everybody is different."


"I thank God for the doctor who was willing to give me 0.5 mg of Klonopin for the restless leg syndrome I was having from the horrible dopamine reuptake inhibitors that other doctors were giving me.
This drug was like a warm blanket in the cold for me, stopping my twisting and turning within 20 minutes.

However, I give it 7 stars because it is not useful for long term treatment, as the withdrawal symptoms can be much worse than restless leg syndrome. Also, one must NEVER drink alcohol with this drug, which is a bummer if you want a glass of red wine.

"


"I started the pills August 20th. I haven't been to the gym yet, but I eat SUPER healthy now and a lot less than I used to; and I have lost 8 pounds within 5 days!!! It's so crazy. I barely am ever hungry and I get so full so fast. I do have dry mouth, but I drink a lot of water for it. My doctor said by eating good and exercise here and there I could loose up to 20 pounds in one month. Hopefully I'll be able to loose another 50 pounds by the next 3 months!"


"I had a severe case of psoriasis at the base and outer areas of my hair line with severe itching and the Clobex lotion cleared it up in a week. I used a little on the affected area only."


"I started taking Lortab after I fell 22 feet in a hunting accident inMmarch of 2012. 4 months ago I learned that I had Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, severe nerve damage, beginning stages of osteoporosis and arthritis, and bone fragments left in my ankle. Lortab was a God sent. It truly is the only thing that gets me through the day although there is still pain. It's nothing compared to what it would be like without it."


"Been taking now for 3 days.i was diagnosed with severe arthritis an bone spurs in my left knee.(tons of bone spurs) !!!! It was an old injury (30 yrs old ). I hadnt ever gottin it operated on .im 46 an injury was done when i was 15.My knee is trashed .i went to see the surgeon an this is what he gave me.so far it hasn't done anything but make me wanna take more.its not working for me.i guess the pain is just to much...anyhow i go back to see my family doc.in a few days an will post some more of this so you can mAybe help me with what to do about getting something stronger......"


"I have been on many medication for depression with associated panic attacks.  Nothing has worked but since my doctor prescribed me Pristiq CR 50 mg and I can now officially say it's changed my life! I'm a survivor of many tragic events and feel like I'm not a victim anymore.  I do clench my teeth more often but so what this side effect is nothing to compare to my unwillingness to live!  Give it time, three months or more you'll feel better I promise!"


"The expierence was awful, but the reviews here seem to be inaccurate. First, you feel as if gas is stuck inside of you. Second, comes a wave of nausea. Third, you're on the toilet for almost an hour and a half and in extreme pain. The pain isn't ER worthy at all. Advil helped me. Once you go #2 and everything flushes your system you're left with diarrhea and the cramps right before going to the restroom. The pain for me was on my sides and abdomen. Also, the pain was on my back and my hips. I took three. DO NOT TAKE 2-3 PILLS. TAKE ONLY ONE. One has the desired effects without the majority of the pain. I hope this helped"


"Awful drug run !!!!

Where do I begin? I was prescribed Amplodipine benzalate 10mg to either take a 10mg pill a day i could break in half

Muscle weakness and muscle depletion its like acid that eats your muscles and makes the skin crawl literally ...

You can feel the pulses pound in your ankles

Fire in stomach then chills all over the body

Labored breathing

Wheezing coughing conjestion caused me to get bronchitis which Ive never had in my life ...

Drowning feeling in chest and lungs

Weakness tingling in head thougt I was having a stroke

Tingling in toes and fingers extreme coldness ...

Cramping anxiety fatigue makes you feel your in another world or are just there...

Thought I was dying felt like organs were shutting down.

Run folks"


"I am female 5'3" top weight 169. I started Contravene 4 weeks ago, I just finished my first week at the max dose of 2 morning/2evening and I have enough to last me about 2 more weeks at that dose. I have not lost any weight but I did get down to 160 and have fluctuated between 163-167 over the past week, just up and down and its frusrating as heck!!
During week 1 was nearly ready to quit; I couldn't sleep, the fatigue was unbearable, and I wanted to eat everything. Now my problem has never been eating bad or not exercising. My problem is that about 7 years ago I began packing on 6-10lbs a year. So, suddenly wanting to pig out was a major deviation from my norm. Week 2-3 were great, energy/appetite were tops. Week four I'm tired again!"


"Wow! I've been using Hypercare for a week, and it has been an absolute miracle. The first time I used it, the stinging was shockingly harsh. I had been using Certain Dri, which stung a little, and figured this would be no different. It was WAY worse.... But! I was sweat free for the first time in a decade! And the terrible sting never happened again, only the one time after my initial application. I hope this continues to work as well as it has been. Not a drop of sweat so far. I couldn't be happier!"


"Naproxen has helped my pain a lot. Just remember to take it with food."


"Yes I do not have a period nor do I cramp at all but I hate this birth control. The insertion was the most painful thing I've ever done. She did not numb me at and was very rude when I was crying because it hurt so bad. I also have gained almost 50 pounds... I feel awful about my self, have zero sex drive, and am going up a pants size every week. I do not recommend this at all"


"Abilify gave me total erectile dysfunction, spasms. It made me fatigued even if I took it at night but at the same time it made me feel quite agitated inside. I was only on this medication for a month so I cannot say whether it controlled my symptoms effectively. It may work for some, however the side effects were unbearable for me."


"Just started my third week. No side effects so far. On first week lost desire to snack on second day. However on second week I noticed I seemed to want to snack more. Desire seems to have gone now though. I am drinking tons of water, cut out sugar and increased protein. Hope to start exercising again soon after hurting foot in a fall.
Started at 170lbs down four pounds so far. Losing slower than I'd like but am feeling positive."


"I have only been taking Abilify (along with my Prozac) for 2 days. So far I have had many ups and downs. I wake up feeling shaky and out of sorts. I have trouble breathing and black out a lot. (I black out anyways, but it has increased). Then I go through a period of anxiety and sweating. A little while later I go through severe nausea and then extreme fatigue. Between each phase I feel pretty great, but it's short lived. I'm going to give it more time, but that's the initial reaction for me."


"I've tried this drug, got side effects, like restless legs. Loss of overall happiness, it doesn't feel like it provide anything"


"I tryed norgesic for 2 weeks 3 times a day. It was for a bad muscle spasm im my back, was hard to breathe. I swear norgesic is a placebo.It  did nothing at all for me...Nothing. Worked as paracetamol at best dose no better imo. Told the doctor of my opinion and was given Valium  (diazepam) 5mg. That worked amazingly. I felt it working the whole time. With the valium it took me 2 weeks to recover. Im EXTREMELY surprised to see so many people say norgesic it worked for them, But glad it did.
I don't usually give feedback  /- however I truly don't think this compound works."


"I am feeling much better, been on this for about a month, I can feel my sexuality coming back and I am much more positive.  Everyone should be told that this medicine could cause severe nausea and vomiting.  I mean bad, but well worth it.  Nausea starts first at the lower doses and then EXPLOSIVE diarrhea sets in for at least a week.  I'm continuing treatment, I feel much better and gastrointestinal side effects are going away slowly.  Feel great, but prepare for the diarrhea."


"I am finishing week 2 of 4, treating bcc on my chest and shoulders. My chest is bright red with large scabs the covers the majority of my chest. It constantly burns and itches. As of the completion of the first week I started experiencing headaches, chills, body aches, the occasional nausea and dizziness. Anti inflammatory and hot baths help ease the aches. Honestly if it were not such a large area I would prefer doc to cut and stitch like he has done many times before. I am going to try to stick out these last two weeks...."


"I don't know why there are so many bad reviews for this birth control. I've been on it a whole week now and it's been amazing. Some say it just comes right off in the shower. I haven't had that problem at all. I've even gotten the patch soapy by accident when washing my body and it didn't budge. I will continue using this method, as I had bad reactions to the depo shot and remembering pills doesn't work well for me. The only side effect I have had some trouble with was feeling very fatigued the first three days of use. Other than that, Xulane is a 10 out 10."


"Gianvi is the only birth control I've ever used, and granted I've only been on it two weeks, but so far I LOVE IT. Not only am I less irritable, judgmental, and teary, but  for the first time in months I am able to fall asleep without using melatonin or any other sleep aid. Also, my sex drive has way increased. I haven't felt bloated, but breasts are a little larger. I have noticed that if I don't take the pill within the same hour range I am a little "off" emotionally. But if I keep it regular- I feel better than I have in years."


"Excellent product"


"I was quite scared to use this product after reading all you lovely ladies reviews but I went ahead an tried it after hesitating for probably two hours, lol. I bought this early yesterday at my local Walmart for $4.96. I won't be using the cream because I was told that's what burns. An I've experienced all the symptoms, everyone's claimed to get using this product, already so I figured I'd be up all night. But after using my first suppository almost 20 minutes ago I've had only a very tiny amount of itching. No burning or pain. Will post later (If im still up) or tomorrow telling how I'm feeling. Time for bed. OH & ALSO.. I took two 500mg acetaminophen before hand to help fight any pain I'd get & brought three ice cubes to bed with me."


"I started using the NuvaRing just yesterday and I have already noticed a dramatic change in my moods. I quickly go from happy to sad, to mad. I felt like I was insane several hours after insertion. Hopefully I can get over the mood swings because other than that I believe the NuvaRing was the best choice for me. It doesn't hurt at all, it's easy to use, and my partner said he felt it during sex but not enough to distract or bother him."


"I'm in my early 50's, I decided to give this a try, fatigue and age catching up with me, half hard most of the time.  I took 50mg. and waited a couple hours, went to bed with the wife. Wow is all I can say! Twice!  We have enjoyed it every since. Pricey though."


"I have used this medicine off and on for 7 years.  All of you who have issues with doing things that you don't remember need to be sure that you are taking it properly.  I have been there and my 24 year old daughter still laughs at the things I have no memory of.. and I own several things I bought at 2 am.

Finally two years ago I found a physician who took the time to explain how this medicine works and it changed everything.  You must be lying in bed, "ready to go to sleep", with no lights on at all.  Ambien shuts down part of your brain and if you are not waiting to fall asleep lying in bed then after you take it the chemical reaction that allows you to fall asleep so easily also keeps you from remembering things you do. Take it properly."


"Not really any thing happening just
Giving me a headache"


"I have been on Abilify for 2 weeks. I can now sleep better, I have had no side effects thus far. No weight gain noticed, hope I don't either."


"I just started adipex 3 days ago. Im having some insomnia and terible dry mouth. But I also have mad energy and little appetite. Adipex is amazing! Compared to having no energy, terrible depression, and feeling like there was no hope, I feel great! Hopefully this continues don't give up there is help out there!!"


"I was born an addict. I remember drinking at 8 years old. Oh I would go years staying clean, but on the inside I was craving drugs everyday. I have used almost every drug there is. I have a husband that is in the Army and 4 beautiful kids. I had a serious obsession with pain pills. I would take anything I could get my hands on. I wanted to die, the withdrawals were enough to keep me using to feel normal. I was about to lose everything. Finally I went to a doctor and was put on Suboxone, that was over two years ago. I am still clean, and do believe Suboxone is a miracle pill. Life is still hard, we still have struggles, but the Suboxone changed my life. Now I get to enjoy my children. I want to stay clean for them and me."


"I have had intolerances to several inhalers. This is the first maintenance inhaler that I have been able to use with great success and NO side effects! It's the best thing I have found to control my asthma - ever!"


"Almost 30 and this is the first time I sought help for ADD. It has truly been a scourge in my life. Been on bupropion over 3 weeks. 300 mg per day. I don't have depression and am taking this for ADD. Nothing has changed for me other than urinating more."
