"I've read some mixed reviews about Topamax.  Mine were awful, short-term memory loss, a state of "duhh", just horrible funcionality in general.  I felt like I was getting dumber, plus no change in the migraines and cluster headaches.  Any sufferer of these types of headaches knows what I mean when you feel that type of pain thrusting through the veins of one side of your head.  Everything aches, even your teeth ache.  Touching it hurts, leaving it alone hearts...everything hurts. Anyway, I had high hopes in Topamax but no results. I am now on Elavil and I swear it's a miracle.  No headaches since."


"Had a severe sinus infection that was getting worse over a week and the Doc prescribed me a 5 day, 6 pill Z-pack of 250mg Azithromycin and 10mg Prednisone; 40mg for two days ,30mg for two days ,20mg for two days,10mg for two days and last 5mg for 3 days.

So far this cocktail of drugs has made a vast improvement in only a  few days!

No known side affects at this time, had loose stool, very little appetite and very bad time sleeping before started taking both drugs.

If i had to pick one that's most prominent I would say loose stool.

If you tend to be gassy, where a diaper just in case."


"I tried this medicine at 50mg up to 4x per day and is very helpful for chronic neck, shoulder pain I have suffered for years. There are no highs and lows like other pain medicines, also had a nerve block injection to area and that removed the pain 100%. I highly recommend it, and a nerve block. It scared me too, but worked."


"I am 23 and I have been on birth control for 7 years. I switched from Ortho Tri-Cyclen to Sprintec 3 years ago and it works amazingly. I have controlled periods and my mood stabilizes greatly with this birth-control."


"I've been taking this for two months now and, I don't want to say it's not effective because so far it's doing it's job to stop pregnancy. My only concern is the light spotting between periods, but my doctor warned me that this would happen. I thought maybe I was making it up in my mind that I was a little bummed & depressed, but now I'm thinking it might be this medication because I'm seeing similar reactions to this online. I hope this will pass otherwise I'll be looking for an alternative."


"Flowmax worked for two years, started going again 20 times a day. Stopped taking it and became normal."


"First and foremost I want to let you all know, reading things on the internet, WILL NOT help, nor really be a good indicator of your personal reaction to any drug. There are many negative reviews here for Bactrim, and I'm on day 3 of a 10 day dose for a staph infection (cellulitis) on, of all places the right side of my face/right ear (its wonderful!). Here's my experience:

Side Effects: Fatigue, headaches (though not consistent). I have a weaker stomach, and its doing just fine with my probiotic (get one with 30billion strands) and drinking lots of water/eating while taking it.

The infection is clearing up. Day 3 was when I really noticed.

Don't be anxious when taking this, its definitely a mind over matter thing sometimes too."


"Male, mid 30s, depression for ~10 yrs. Was on Cymbalta 60 mg QD for 2yrs, wasn't working, depressed, so up'ed to 90 mg QD. Didn't work, had typical side effects. Cross tapered to Brintellix over 3wk period achieving 10 mg QD dose. Felt good for 2wks - more energy, sharper mentally, but very angry and irritable. Then all "good" effects ceased; all I felt was continual anger and irritation, which worsened every day for 3wks. Put on 12lbs/1mo while being on Brintellix. Stopped 10 mg dose cold turkey for 1wk, just started on Fetzima. Can't tell if Brintellix withdrawal or Fetzima, but now having sexual AEs, namely near spontaneous ejaculation without being erect or stimulated - any other men have this with either drug?"


"Completely surprised at the positive results from this medication in a very short time. Nausea is the biggest side effect for me. I am myself again after sinking into an abyss of pain and sadness. No more panic attacks. No more uncontrolled crying spells. I can laugh again! I highly recommend this medication.
In the appeals process w my insurance co they have denied this med."


"This is my second time having the Mirena. I got one after my first child and it was PERFECT! I had no problems and only spotted every couple of months if that. I had no pain whatsoever when it was inserted. I got it removed after a year because we decided to have another child. This time around is kind of different. I go in for my check up in 2 days and they may have to remove it because I'm bleeding non stop, cramp everyday off and on to the point I cry and medicines wont take them way. I have mild mood swings nothing major. I haven't been able to feel the strings either. BUT I would recommend this to every woman because not everyone has a trouble with it. It's a good form of birth control and it works."


"This medication was a complete nightmare for me. At first it even increased my frequency in needing to urinate. The side effects of this medication were unbearable for me though and it caused me to have to stop taking this medication even when I did start seeing slight improvement in my need to urinate after two weeks. I was being treated for migraines and this medication brought my migraines back full force and even my ocular migraines came back despite still being on my migraine treatment. I would experience typical headaches almost daily as well lasting 1-3 hours and sometimes more than twice a day. I also experienced constipation, bloating and mild to moderate upper abdominal pain. The constipation caused weight gain. Nausea as well."


"Worked very good the first time I was prescribed it, was taken off it and 5 years later represcribed. It did little to lower my hypertension on the second round. Little side effects, maybe coughing a little more, that's about it. It was okay the first time but failed on the second."


"This stuff works, but the pills are quite stinky I must say.  Also they are a common pet medication, kinda weird. "


"I started the titration pack and am now on the full recommended dose of 50 mg twice a day - this is not working for me - I have insomnia, I wake up all night long, still have muscle pain, restless leg  at night, stiffness, leg swelling, headaches, grouchy and irritable. I have not experienced any stomach problems nor constipation. Not sure about the blurred vision being caused by this medication, as I have just been diagnosed with beginning stages of cataracts, so it could be that. I am on week 3 now. I am very disappointed. I was on Effexor for years and it worked for 7 years, but then stopped being effective. I pray for something to come along to help."


"Topamax has helped my life dramatically. I have had daily headaches for close to 20 years and I was always nervous that they would turn into a migraine, which was at least 3-4 times a month. Since I have started this medicine the headaches are gone! I am on 100mg daily and did stop taking it for about 2 weeks because I was busy. The headaches came back immediately just as bad as before the medicine and it took shots to get rid of them. I hopefully will not have to stop this medicine. I do get tingling every once in a while but it does not hurt or stop me from doing daily activities, it just surprises me. I do tell my doctor so he is able to keep track of them. Hopefully if this medicine does not work for people they can try something else."


"I started use Truvada, when Intelence affected my liver. Great combination. I stopped use sleeping pills. Take Truvada before bed. Great medicine."


"I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder off the back of a recent adult ADD diagnosis. After the first few days on just a half dose I already felt like a different person and these effects have not changed after almost two months. My mood has improved greatly, my anger and irritability have dissipated, suicidal ideation has ceased, and I rarely find myself ruminating on negative thoughts. I have since experienced brief returns to depressive feelings during periods of extreme stress, though I believe these to be circumstantial. I have experienced no side effects except perhaps a slight reduction in sex drive. I would give Brintellix 10 but for the cost which is not covered by the Australian Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme."


"I went through an early menopause in my 49's and my gyn prescribed Angeliq. The only dose it came in then was .5/1. Now 10 years later I am going through menopause a 2nd time. Lucky me. My primary care tried me on multiple medications - none of which relieved my symptoms and all but 1 made me sick. Long start short I started taking the low dose version yesterday and I'm hopeful. Think I feel better already, but that could be wishful thinking. I remember feeling like myself again after about a week. I took Angeliq for about 4 years with no side effects."


"I was fortunate to have found an effective method of treatment for my depression after trying only a few different medications.  I began with Lexapro, which gave me drymouth, provided little relief and resulted in an uncomfortable feeling if a dosage was missed.  Cymbalta gave me a constant headache.  I started on 20mg of Celexa and after a few weeks I felt more like myself.  I have been taking 40mg for three years and have had great results with few side effects.  Mild decreased in sex drive."


"I am having side effects like fast heart beat, not able to sleep, diarrhea, vaginal itching. I feel it has many side effects and they will occur depending on the person.
"


"Made me not even want to get out of bed. I was sleeping 12,13 and even 14 hours a day. "


"I got my nexplanon inserted November 2015 while I was on my period on the 5th day, ever since then(4months later)I've bled constantly ever since. My doctor tried giving me the pill to balance out my hormones but no luck at all. I constantly have cramps and headaches and sometimes heat flashes. I want it out so bad but removal costs $150 :("


"My wife needed to get her bowels moving and so I purchased some Dulcolax laxative suppositories. It began working within 15 minutes, but then she began breaking out in hives all over her body accompanied by severe itching. We eventually had to take her to the emergency room for a Benadryl IV. "


"Was on Dexedrine for 10 years. Loved it. Just stopped last month because I had tachycardia and an ectopic arrhythmia. Both started about 2 years ago, and I only recently had confirmed that both are non-existent when off of Dexedrine. Have been taking 30mg/day. Switching to Strattera tomorrow, hoping it can provide all the benefits of Dexedrine without the heart issues!"


"I was at 185 now 174!! So far 11lb down in a little less than two weeks.. super excited! My goal weight is 130-135. 185 is the most i ever weighed..i dont think i look it, but the scale doesn't lie! Lol. Ive had a few symptoms so far...dry mouth, lasts all day whether i chew gum, drink water. Insomnia is horrible, i can have three hours of sleep and be fine all day. I use to get really jittery and want to move around but so far i havent been super hyper like i was. Today i felt my hands and feet tingling not bad though. I have also had a headache the past two days...which it may not even be from this hopefully itll go away. I also would have hot.flashes but then get cold. Overall im just excited to see results!!"


"I got nexplanon inserted I'm September 2015. Had no period until December, bleed for a month and a half. Spotted or bled lightly most of the time. Other than that haven't had any noticeable or complain worthy symptoms."


"I have had two knee surgeries in the past 20 months.  I had 3 rounds of Synvisc with no relief whatsoever.  My doctor suggested Supartz.  Although I was hesitant, he convinced me to try it.  Boy am I glad I did.  I went from walking with a noticeable limp to biking 35 to 45 miles at a clip and walking with no pain.  This occurred in 5 weeks!!!  I am thrilled with this medication and would recommend it to anyone suffering knee pain.  The worst that could happen is it doesn't work."


"I have been on clomid for about 6 months now, no baby yet, but I did end up with a bladder and kidney infection which I have never had before."


"Never written a review in my life. Was often on these sites reading peoples experiences and hoping 1 day i would be me again. Im not me , im happier then i can remember . When your used to living with anxiety daily you dont realise how it actually feels to be "normal". Suffered panic attacks at night that came from absolutely nowhere, no warnings or triggers and gradually effected my day to day life. Started 50mg, first 2 weeks side effects were pretty harsh ; insomnia , increase anxiety , nausea. Was having second thoughts at 4 weeks as didnt see much improvement . Week 5 felt like a switch was turned on in my head. Give this drug 6-8 weeks minimum. it has been life changing for me"


"I will NEVER take this again. I just started taking it and everything was fine and I loved it. I got to about halfway through my second month and all hell broke loose. I had the WORST period I had ever had. I never had cramps or heavy needing until this pill. I continuously had blood clots and wouldn't stop bleeding for over a month. I kept taking it until my 3rd month and after that it still continued. No stopping. So I stopped taking it and then had an even worse period and had to go to the doctor due to bleeding a way abnormal amount. NEVER again."


"I am 66 and in the last 12 months have suddenly started to have difficulty in maintaining an erection

I am in the UK and bought Sildenafil online (although it was Viagra which arrived) in 25mg form. It seems extremely reasonably priced

I bought it without telling my wife, and only used it after she suggested it. It felt like an admission of failure, and that she might think it was insulting to her.

Intercourse has taken place twice now, both times around 2 hours after taking it. The erection is more like it was even fairly recently but not exceptional as reported elsewhere (so scored an 8). Have had little in the way of side effects so far. Perhap a larger dose has greater effect both good and bad

Recommend it? Absolutely!"


"I've been off and on the prozac for over a year now. Keep reading stuff on the internet about its side effects, then flush them down the drain. But then I get back on the medicine. I can say that I feel its effects after just one dose, it feels like a pretty strong drug and I'm only on 10mg. Don't drink too much caffeine on prozac! I've had the worst anxiety attacks if I drink an energy drink after taking my dose of prozac. It does help me get stuff done and stay motivated and I guess it helps with general anxiety as well. It does kind of make me impulsive though but I'm learning to make better decisions while on the medicine. I think it helps over all and I will continue to stay on it for the foreseeable future."


"It worked "okay" however the sweating on this medication is way more than I can take. "


"I have found that the Internet is flooded with really negative reviews on the copper coil, so I thought I'd share my experience.

I'm 19 and have no children, I was on the pill for a while a few years ago but it made me very hormonal. I have a lot of mental health difficulties and take medication for that and don't like the idea of taking hormones that screw with my head! I've heard many good stories about the coil so decided this was a good option.

It got fitted yesterday, the procedure only took about 5 minutes and was completely painless - a bit weird and uncomfortable, but painfree. I was very crampy after so was taking painkillers but now feel great! I would definitely recommend, I was so worried about the pain but it was fine :)"


"I started with Lexapro about 2 years ago. I was angry at everyone. Someone walking down the street, someone in a car, people I didn't know let alone my family. I was in pain, working, doing what you have to do and I was mad. This was a great medicine for me. I take many other medicines but this is one I wouldn't want to give up."


"Had bad luck with Ultram and never took this garbage drug again. I have Chronic Spine Pain and 23 Major Spine Surgeries. I have DJD, bilateral, lumbar adhesive arachnoiditis and Neuropathic pain in left leg ( thigh area) with anterior and lateral nerve damage from lumbar Spine surgery. Now have to take Neurontin 400mg capsules for this leg pain. Also, Ultram made me very uncomfortable and did not like the sensation whatsoever. Did not help my Pain at all and side effects make me tell them I am allergic to the drug. I do not want anything that doesn't assist my Chronic Spine Pain! There are plenty of opioids that help me so much better. Just have to work well with my Pain Specialist."


"I had previously been put on every kind of antidepressant for depresion/anxiety. They all worked horribly; so I stopped all drugs and ceased seeing doctors.
Then, I felt insanely suicidal- I was absolutely crazed. Luckily my sister urged me to seek help as fast as I could- so I did. I went to see another psychiatrist, and he diagnosed me as bipolar. I started on Lamictal, but that didn't do anything for me. Then I switched to Lithium- THANK GOODNESS I still get depressed, but I never get sucked into a deep suicidal hole like before. I quit the drug for 1 month, which caused me to think about suicide unrelentlessly. Never again will I stop taking Lithium. (Does cause extreme thirst and hand tremors, but well worth it)"


"Pros: Olanzapine controls conversations in my head to clear thoughts, working exstremely well. I have taken Olanzapine for the majority of ten years, nothing else works as good for me.

Cons: I gained weight at the begining of treatment (eating too much) because of hunger sensation, but this subsides. I have neck stiffness - this may not be connected to treatment, also irregular heart beat (not serious), I think this is probably unconnected to treatment."


"This pill is amazing ,I really think its the magic pill ,I'm smoke free now ,thanks zyban"


"I've been on zoloft for almost four weeks now and it's been a life changer I use to suffer from poor impulse control anxiety and bad depression about two weeks in I started feeling better happier like.the feeling of dread has been removed the demon's are silenced I feel like I want to live I want to succeed it's like a dream come true ive suffered from drug addiction in the past and since started zoloft I don't feel the craving that overwhelming desire to get high the only downside to zoloft. Is the restlessness when.trying to sleep but it's worth the trade off I started on 50 MG and am now at 100mg per day thank god for zoloft"


"Started taking this a few days ago. The comment about the bad taste~ UNDERSTATEMENT, it tastes NASTY, but seems to be working well. I am currently on Seroquel 200 mg, temazepam 45mg, and Xanax as needed. I am dropping down on the Seroquel until I'm completely off. Horrible weight gainer, but does help. Since starting this, I have not taken ANY Xanax and I have energy during the day and it seems to curb my hunger."


"I am taking this for cellulitis. I have been on it for 5 days, and the swelling has gone down significantly, but the side effects are really crappy. I feel achey, hot, and I have a headache, and my joints hurt, but I'm not sure if this is also from having Lyme Disease in the past."


"I used it along with Paxill. I used it every night for about 2 1/2 years. It did the job of getting me to sleep very well. It would without fail cause me to sleep. It lasted 4 hours, then I would wake up often, but I felt quite rested. Only occasionally would I take a second dose feeling that I needed more sleep. DO NOT MIX WITH ALCOHOL. "


"Got a call from my rheumatologist today advising that my recent bone density test showed no improvement in my osteoporosis. I've been taking Boniva, 150 mg tablet, monthly for five (5) years. Have had a few side affects with the drug but nothing that has been troublesome to the extent that I wanted to discontinue the therapy. My rheumatologist now wants me to discontinue Boniva and try a different drug. Needless to say, I was disappointed in having spent five years taking a drug that was not beneficial. C'est la vie."


"I have been on 10mg Jardiance for 5 weeks now. My reactions: excessive sweating (shirts are visably soaked), extreme thirst, and vaginal yeast infections. Jardiance also gave me headaches the first two days I started. Right away my numbers dropped from the 160-190 range to 125-135 range however within a week it went up into the 150-160's. I believe that is partly because Jardiance caused my body to produce more glucagon (a hormone that promotes insulin resistance and raises blood sugar). Not sure the net gain is worth it?"


"Have powerful erections, but suddenly at age 72 began to loose erection during intercourse.  Levitra cured the problem.  Been using it for a year—very effective, although time needed can be 30 minutes to an hour.  Once a week intercourse at age 73 is still routinely necessary to maintain  healthy sexual life."

"If evil had a taste, it would be this vile, nausea-inducing, gag-causing putrid concoction invented by Lucifer. Dear Lord is there nothing else more palatable? I'm dreading the next one at 3:30."


"It took over 5 years before I was able to find out what I had in my legs, and behold it was Restless Legs Syndrome. They gave me Requip and it was great for about a month or so, no pain when I sat down which was when I always felt the pain. But like some other users I would wake up and dry vomit or vomit depends how long it was since my last meal. It was not worth the morning sessions so I stopped taking it. I hope this works for other people but I am waiting for a better option. I would like to point out also my legs didn't hurt after I threw up but it just was not worth it."


"So I was reading all these reviews about the insertion of Skyla and totally freaked me out but everyone is different. I was on a generic version of Seasonique.  I wanted to have a less hormonal birth control and my GYN recommended Skyla. I had a friend come up with me just in case I needed to have someone drive me home. I took the 800mg of ibuprofen 30 minutes like recommended. She got everything ready while I laid there. I could barely feel her inserting it. She did tell me she does them all day and maybe that's why it was with easy. She also said I picked the right one bc my cervix wouldn't dilate pass a 5, which the Mirena or the copper iud. I had very light cramping couple days and then a 5 day period."


"I am on my 2nd week ( 7/10/15). First week felt horrible - morning headaches, severe dry mounth....actually gained weight. At the begining of the 2nd week - headaches gone but now have mild body aches...still wtih dry mouth but lost the initial weight plus 2 pounds!!  I do not feel hungery at all...but it took about a week for it to kick in.  The cost is prohibitive...I will not re-order. Even with Insurance I can not afford $200.00 out-of-pocket. It DOES NOT give you energy like Phentermine....just makes you feel full.  Oh, also, very constipationg!!!!!  I will finish the bottle - it is working for me. You have to be a "responder" to this medication and only 50% of people are ( I didn't know that) see if you can get the first 15 days free"


"My back was severely injured in 1981 I have had numerous surgeries and am disabled   I have an implanted pain pump  I have used Vicodin for at least 20 years. I use it when I need it. I go several days and sometimes weeks without taking it. I get some pain relief. I am never pain free I don't use enough to kill the pain just enough to make it bearable. "


"I pretty much have my period all month with exception of maybe 3 days. I am going to stop taking this, even though it's nice to have unprotected sex."


"I tried using the over the counter 4% lidocaine and had some relief. I talked to a pharmacist who said that the Mylan should give about 25% more relief. I tried it-purchased 30-5% pads that cost about $.30 more than the over the counter per patch. The Mylan are inflexible and I have to tape them on. I will not buy more. I may talk to my doctor about just using the over the counter and adding a little more lidocaine cream. My recommendation is that customers should not waste their money on these. I also read that the Mylan company is registered in the Netherlands with its main office in the U.S. So, this is a company that can well afford to create an effective product since they obviously do not pay much in U.S. taxes-SHAME"


"I was prescribed hydroxyzine as an anti nausea med  for after surgery. I quickly noticed how it calmed me down. Post surgery bathing was especially anxiety inducing for me. I would take one before getting in so I could handle it. It also was the only way I could sleep otherwise I would be up after a couple hours due to inactivity (surgery was from a sports injury).

I decided to get another prescription for it as an anxiety medication after having an anxiety attack. I took one to calm down and within minutes my panic was under control.

Highly recommended for post surgery and the occasional anxiety attack."


"I had my colonoscopy two days ago and the propofol was excellent at knocking me out and I was awakened by the nurse in my recovery cubicle. I felt pretty good as I woke up, mostly relieved it was over. My only issue with propofol is the extreme fatigue I'm still feeling. I have no energy and not too much of an appetite either.  The drained feeling is quite similar to the lack of energy or enthusiasm one feels with depression. I was given propofol once before with another procedure and had the same reaction. I may be someone who doesn't process the drug out of my body quickly, but I have heard others say the same thing. I'm forcing myself to eat as I know the suprep I was given for prep for the colonoscopy drained me and that may a factor."


"Been on Angeliq for 2 years now All hot flushes disappeared within 3 days! Hallelujah feel human again!!!!    Felt great for a year lots of energy only problem was my breasts went up 2 cup sizes! I then decided to take half a tablet and after a month my breast reduced back to normal! ....For the second year I found I had vertigo!  Also I felt a shaking inside my body like I had swallowed a mobile phone on vibrate the doctor said it could be anxiety which comes with the menopause!  Vertigo is one of the rare side effects with Angelic so asking my doctor to find a low dose of another Hrt hope this works!

Will let you know later how this works out!"


"I've been taking four Ursodiol tablets a day for many years. My liver enzymes have stayed normal. Biopsy showed Stage 1."


"I have been on this medicine for only 3 weeks and my love addiction, my sex addiction have all but practically disappeared. I don't feel as depressed I feel even, grounded and no longer have the feeling that I am separated from myself. My obsessive thoughts have all but disappeared. I was constantly thinking about my ex who broke up with me 9 months ago. I feel finally that I got my life back. I prefer low libido than constantly thinking that every attractive girl I connect with might be my future girlfriend. Celexa works for me, I have been on and off them for years now but now I am sticking to the program. Be patient people and stick to the program."


"I was prescribed this for mild anxiety after I was in a car accident and the headaches I got as a result. I took ONE 20 mg at night and woke up four hours later with the most horrible panic attack (that's what the doctor said). I've never had that happen in my life. My heart was racing and pounding, I would get hot then cold and back again, I was shaking so bad I could hardly type. I wanted to cry but couldn't, scream or something. I felt like all of a sudden I had a different personality. My heart raced for 4 days after that. I never took another after that first one. I've been having heart pounding sensations for days in the last three weeks since taking the Cymbalta. "


"I've been taking lamotrigine along with bupropion for ten weeks. It wasn't until around 8 weeks that I could say without a doubt that the medication is working. Strenuous exercise helps to relieve the depression and control mania."


"I had scoliosis surgery about 30 yrs ago. Was in an auto accident herniated cervical and lumbar discs. Now fused T1-S1. Lumbar fusion resulted in nerve damage with pain radiating through right leg to my toes. Lyrica and Neurontin didn't help. Tramadol worked wonders. I take 2-50mg tabs and they get me moving. But they keep me up at  night the pain keeps me up all night too so I take temazepam for sleep. Now I'm trying the extended release version at night hoping the lag time until they start working will allow me some sleep and I'll feel better when I wake up."


"This was my first birth control.I didn't experience any side effects except I do think that they affected my mood. I became a lot more emotional about a lot of things and people which I didn't think was possible since I was already pretty emotional.

No acne, no bad cramps, no weird periods. Only switched because of an insurance issue."


"Used it for a few months, once every morning. Works great to stop the allergies throughout the day, I've definitely not had the debilitating problems that come through now and again as if I caught a cold, and this definitely stops that from happening. But the piercing headaches are bad after a few minutes, so I have to take ibuprofen to get through it. Then, I am OK through the day, mostly, I can function. But after a while, a couple months, my whole body started to feel numb. Can't feel my back, arms, legs, hands, feet, shoulders, and numb in a way that I am not able to perform athletically. If I get hurt, twist a wrist or pull a muscle I can feel those kinds of things, but for coordination, I felt detached, weak, awful, angry, annoyed."


"I took it with almost no side effects. I did have a headache one day, but that could have been from anything. My only complaint was that the pills were huge and hard to swallow."


"I don't have melanoma but was approved for the trial 2B of Zelboraf due to my BRAF mutation ( I have Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma, unresectable, BRAF mutation ) Scans showed a depreciation in size but I couldn't stay on the study or drug due to the effects.  I was severely nauseous, had and still do haave horrible ugly painful and itchy raised skin lesions that I am still getting after 3 months off of the drug.  I was incapacitated and in bed.  Titrated down twice didn't change anything.  I was immobilized, felt a severe malaise, could barely get out of bed and months later I am still recovering from the effects of taking the drug.  I was pulled from the study by my oncologist due to the toxicity.  This was very disappointing as it affected me as badly as Folfironox; its chemo in a pill. Too bad, really."


"A life saver. Stopped working after 5 months but I am fascinated how this medicine got me out of severe depression. I was praying to die every night even I am an agnostic. I was that desperate. I don't now it's still beneficial but I take 60 mg just to be cautious. I was up to 120 mg. With Cymbalta now I'm on 54 mg Concerta (wish to take Adderall but not legitimate in my country), 200 mg Lamictal and 5 mg Xanax(built up tolerance) if need be. Still in depression but not bad as the past years. If you have major depression at least give this medicine a chance."


"Prescribed this drug several years ago.  Shortly after taking it I went 5 nights without sleep and was subsequently hospitalized for a manic episode with delusions.  It took months to recover from the depression that followed.  I was on mood stabilizers for a year and a half post episode before gaining enough courage to ween off entirely.  It has been a few years now that I am clean and clear of all medications.  Mentally stable and back to working in emergency medicine.  I have since stayed far away from the entire "myocin" family of antibiotics for fear that I am hypersensitive.  Highly recommend staying away from this drug."


"Today is my one year anniversary of being smoke free - thank you Chantix! I took this for 3 months, and weened myself off of it the same way I began it. I also cut the dosage down to one pill a day at the 6-week mark. I checked in with my doctor after a month about depression (this and and the weening off of the medcine I believe are very important to success). I had some tough days, but really clear thinking and the ability to say no when a craving would come over me. I smoked for 35 years...If I can do it, so can you!"


"I think I waited to long to start taking this medication. I too along with many others was against "happy pills" as I used to call them, I started having anxiety attacks at work and my emotions were starting to bleed into every aspect of my life, I had to do something. Depression is sneaky... you don't realize what its doing to you until you  can step out of it and take a breath a real clear minded breath. That what Celexa has been for me. It made me soo tired at the beginning and I didn't eat much, but after about a week I noticed I was not crying all day like before. I cant say I feel super happy all the time but I notice that I am not as sad  and I have energy to do more than lay on the couch on the weekends!"


"DON'T GET THE MIRENA IUD. I wanted to love the Mirena, I really did. I'm 23, no kids & wanted a low maintaince birth control. Insertion & initial cramping were pretty bad but thats normal. I liked my IUD for the first year or so. Didn't gain weight like I did on the pill & no real side effects. But my love for the IUD turned to hatred when I discovered it had given me an OVARIAN CYST. I started having an excruciating pain deep in my abdomen. The pain was right next to my hip bone and was unlike ANY pain I've ever had. It would radiate down my leg & up my back. Some days I couldn't even stand up or go to work. Finally got an ultrasound and discovered it was a cyst so now its out and I feel SO much better. Please don't get the Mirena!!"


"Worst experience ever.  I took one capsule and two hours started diarrhea.  I only took one more tablet 12 hours later. I had diarrhea for 4 weeks.  I had hemorrhoid flair up.  Never again will I take this drug. I think it took about 4 months to get my gut straightened out. Be very cautious of this drug"


"Started taking for cellulitis on my ear with swollen and painful lymph nodes. After first day my eyes were BRIGHT red! And so dry my eyelids felt like sandpaper when I blinked. Used eye drops and got better the 3rd day but still a little red. On day 4 of 10 and just feel like I have a really bad hangover all day, am exhausted, irritable and trouble sleeping. But my ear is better....::"


"I've had severe insomnia for years and have tried everything from diphenhydramine (Benadryl), Ambien, temazapam, and trazodone.

Honestly most of the above work except I have to rotate every few weeks between them.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, the one sleep aid that works the best for me is a strong dose of Benadryl.  I have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep and Benadryl is the one tried and true medicine that works all night. Because of other meds I'm now on, I can't take it any longer and have to take a prescription sleep aid."


"I've had super clear skin until the last week of eighth grade! Now it's summer and I needed something to help my sudden breakout before high school. My doctor recommended Epiduo. At first, I was using it twice a day because I thought it would get rid of the acne faster. It didn't. I couldn't wear makeup because my skin was dry and peeling and way discolored. So I stopped for about 3 days and just moisturized. My acne got a little worst after that. I am 5 days past the 1 month mark and my skin is actually just starting to clear up. I used it once a day at night with the Cetaphil face wash. I only have it in the middle of my forehead near my hairline and on my cheeks. I was getting very discouraged, but the medicine needs about 3 months."


"This one of the worst medication ever. It does not help, I end up in tears I am hurting so bad. I drop things, don't even notice, can't open things like I used too. The pain is unbearable, I just think this is a rubbish medication."


"Despite the reactions of some earlier reviewers, one of the reasons I prefer lisinopril to the others I've tried is that I do NOT feel dizzy.  Nor do I feel groggy as I did on quinapril.  I do find that I don't sleep well, and it does contribute to impotence.  It also works really well, and I can get by on a smaller dose."


"The first time I took next choice I took it 3 days after unprotected sex and was afraid it wouldn't work but my period came as usual. The second time I took it 24hrs after unprotected sex my period didn't come as usual but thankfully right before I was about to waste $14 on a test my period came late (better then not at all). Next choice has always worked for me. And I wouldn't hesitate to use again if I had to."


"I went from 20mg to 60mg and felt tip top.

It curbed my obsessive compulsive disorder and it no longer ruled my life completely. Unfortunately I was feeling that good I started drinking, TO OFTEN, which stopped the medication working. I then convinced myself it would no longer work even though I stopped drinking. I then went onto citalopram, which did nothing for me at all.

I then missed a docs appointment and then decided I would get through it all without tablets. I was ok for a while until the anxiety, OCD started to bully me again, I was a nightmare to live with, countless arguments with my missus, I couldn't handle anything shouting, screaming at my children.  I'm back on fluoxedtine now, and really regret coming off it like I did."


"Stops general bitchy-ness to a degree, even when not menstruating."


"I've used HypoTears for many, many years, always with strong approval by optometrists and my now-retired ophthalmologist. I'm crushed to learn that it is no long available. I have long counted on it for my eye comfort, and now I have to find something else that I like."


"I've been on alesse for 2 months now, going on my third month. This pill is not so bad, no weight gain/ acne/ or mood swings. But I'm experiencing chronic fatigue on this pill, when I am on my period week I feel soo much better. Everything else is really great, but I'm not sure how much longer I will stay on this. I can't live my life with exhaustion it makes me lose desire for things I normally love, coffee fixes it a little but it is still there, I would rather have the old me back, or maybe switching my birth control? But it's a good birth control other than that ( you will find nothing perfect out there)"


"I read the posts and decided to keep it cold.

I just drank it at 6pm and tried not to think about it ,

After a few good chugs a rinsed my mouth with

Ginger beer , spit and drink a few more good chugs . Someone said ginger ale , which is

Fine , but ginger beer is a non alcoholic stronger

Ginger flavor . Anyhow I drank the two 16 oz

Waters during the next half hour . Started

Pooping watery in about an hour and stayed on the toilet until almost 8:30 . Made a few more trips

During the night and even this morning some .

No pain or nausea or shaking , went ok for me

But have to drink it again in an hour and that's

Not something I want to do again ."


"Excellent medicine at treating hot flashes, vaginal dryness and night sweats but I had a significant weight gain (12 ponds in three months). In addition I had infrequent bowel movements, larger breasts, bloating and painful though predictive periods."


"I've tried a lot of meds for my compulsive/obsessive tendencies and Abilify is the only one that seems to work."


"I didn't notice a big difference on Ablify. I feel more level headed but also I feel more indecisive, dizzy and restlessness. I was on 10 mg for 3 months and the restlessness was so bad I couldn't sit still."


"I like it.. ok, for the first 4 months my bleeding was non stop and horrible headaches but I went to my doctor and she wrote me a prescription and told me to take the birth control pill also for 1 month straight to control the bleeding and it worked.. I haven't really had a period since then..  and in Nov it will be 1 year with me having it in.. no weight gain and if so it's me because I love to eat.. lol.. but no other side effects for me!!! If everything stays this way I will probably get it in again after my 3 years is up.."


"My BC was placed about 2 years ago. Over all effective did not become pregnant but from the start I had horrible side effect with headaches, my hair falling out & no periods (so thought was a good thing). Then went on to having oily hair & skin, gaining weight, & heavy two week periods every two to three weeks. Now I have cysts on my ovaries monitored every six weeks. Next week it'll be removed :D"


"My experience has been horrible. I got Nexplanon 6 weeks after giving birth. I had gotten pregnant while I was on the pill so I wanted to try something different. I've been bleeding for three and a half months straight. Severe acne and mood swings. I've been feeling really depressed for no reason. I've gained 15 pounds I can't seem to lose. And this last month I have been having horrible flu like symptoms. It feels like it's taking over my life. I'm getting it out this month."


"Don't try to quit the 40 mg cold turkey. You will feel no control of your mind or your body. Your arms and legs will twitch and jerk. You will feel scared and nervous because you are losing control of your mind and physical body. I know you are mad at what the medication has done to you but you MUST get up and go take the 40mg and break in half. I just did. You will itch all over, begin to cry, feel exhaustion, embarrassment, your tongue will be raw up the center. My aunt is a doc. She couldn't believe I tried to do cold turkey. After 30 min I'm already better. It's sad but don't go cold turkey and put your body through that. If you go cold turkey, you could give yourself long term effects."


"I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Pretty much bed ridden. Took 100 mg of Modafinil. Within 5 minutes, had lots of pressure in my head.Very unpleasant. Did absolutely nothing to make me feel better. Instead, felt worse. Extreme pressure in head lasted 90 minutes. Then mild headache rest of the day. Very disappointing."


"I have a rare skin rash that appears only during summer months. It is an immune system response to heat. Xyzal 10 mg reduces the rash by about 20%, but after about a month, an immunosupressive reaction occurred.  I started getting large, painful pimples in weird places like forearm, hand, and neck. Had a similar reaction to Flonase a few years ago. Immune system can't fight the pimples, so they take over. Disappointing because this is the first oral drug to have an effect on the rash. Hay fever gone too."


"Diphenhydramine didn't work for me so I tried doxylamine. First night took one 25mg pill and was out within the hour, got a full eight hours but woke up super groggy. The groggiest lasted most of the next day, definitely wasn't worth it. I tried it again two days later with only half a pill. Had the same great sleep with only minimal grogginess. I've continued to take 1/2 a 25mg pill 2-3 times a week when I know sleeping with be a struggle with great results. I'd recommend anyone who experiences the sleep hangover to try a lower dose before writing it off."


"I was given the generic Bactrim for a sinus infection. After 4 days, I couldn't stop vomiting and having diarrhea for 3 days.  Almost went to the hospital.  It seemed to be making me feel better until the side effects kicked in.  I had to stop the medication."


"I have been on 10 mg of Lexapro for about 6 years.  I am so thankful for this medication.  I am a crying weepy mess without it!"


"Actually raised my heart rate from 70s to mid 80s to 100+ and did nothing for my blood pressure. Also gave me side effect of flashing lights at night in left eye. Wound up in ER after taking this drug for 3 months and LOST 14 pounds. Dr. Said impossible that this was due to metopropol, but as soon as I changed to Bystolic, heart rate decreased to 60s and 70s and weight stopped dropping. Guess I was allergic to it."


"I have found that this medication not only relieves my chronic pain but I am able to take it and still work- I could not do that with the standard narcotic pain relievers which are typically prescribed. Thanks to my doctor's recommendation of this medicine I am able to live a much less painful and much more fulfilling life."


"I have been taking this medication on and off roughly for about 5 years now I think. I take it at night because it helps to shut my brain off and it makes me tired. My anxiety/depression manifests in knee, leg and body pain. I don't necessarily feel anxious or I don't think I am depressed, but obviously there is something there. As soon as I start taking this medicine again I can move. I can do stairs without cringing in pain. Little things in life don't bother me as much. I love it..so maybe this time I will just stay on it. I don't experience the weight gain or the sexual side effects."


"I absolutely LOVE this product!!!! For several years I have been battling my dark spots on my upper lip and cheeks.  I just couldn't go anywhere without packing on a heavy coat of makeup.  Thanks to my wonderful dermatologist that recommended "Tri-Luma".  I'm happy to say I don't need the heavy cover-up makeup or any makeup at all.  I notice the results within a week.  It is a bit pricey, however i was able to find several coupons on the web.  The total price was only $100, and sooooooo worth it!!!"


"I was given this medication at 36 weeks of pregnancy because they tried to stop the contractions. My doctor suggested this medication as a last resort. I was admitted a week later with no fetal heartbeat. Subsequently this medication stop the blood flow to the placenta ultimately causing my son Jayden to have a heart attack. It was not given approval to be administered on pregnant females and was in testing phases for pre term labor.  This drug has cost me a lifetime of agony."


"PART 1 This stuff is amazing, by far the best product if you are looking for something to help with your skin. If you have gotten this product from a dermatologist, and you've come across my review. Make sure you aren't just slabbing it on thinking it will give you faster results, this WILL dry out your skin if you aren't careful. Use enough that it will cover your whole face (don't get close too your eyes) but ONLY do this once a week, and slowly add it into your routine. Than the next week, do it twice, with a few days in between, than the next week 3.. etc. Your skin needs to adapt too this product, otherwise IT WILL HURT. If your skin does get a little dry, I suggest using "Nivea Cream" it comes in a 100ml blue bottle."


"I received this medication in the ER for kidney stones.  Twice before the ER had given me Demerol for this pain and while it helped it did not completely give me relief.  THIS did! I do not know if it caused nausea or not, because they gave me Zofran along with it.  I know that if I am ever in severe pain again I hope the doctor will give me this medicine.  Also I had no memory loss like I do with morphine, which is a plus.  I only received it through IV."


"When I turned 26 I began getting really bad, cystic acne on my chin/around my mouth.  I would "pop" the cysts and cause all kinds of scabs/scars on my chin area.   Finally I went to the dermatologist and she prescribed me Ziana.  Let me just start of by saying this stuff is nothing short of a miracle.  Within 2 weeks my face looks brand new again.  I use it everyday.  I went a few weeks without using it and the bumps began to come back%u2026  Also, a little bit goes a long way.  I put a very thin layer on my face every night.  I think some people may be putting too much on their face which is causing their skin to be oily (the Ziana is causing the oil to come out of your skin which is what is causing the acne anyway).  Good luck!!"


"I am a 43-year-old healthy female. No diabetes, no high cholesterol  and not on any other medications. I had to start taking spiro because of edema. My legs and feet were were so puffy I could barely wear shoes.  I've been on spiro for a week now.  I lost 6 pounds of water in the first three days of taking it. My legs and feet are still puffy so progress is gradual.  I also elevate my legs whenever I can.  I've never used another diuretic other than this one so I can't compare it.   My doctor prescribed it for two weeks only, I take it in the morning with my breakfast and have not experienced any side effects at all except mild thirst in the mornings upon waking up."


"I used Compound W for a week , and it works great , use Duct tape"


"Up until last month, I'd had no negative side-effects; no migraines  (which are normal for me), no depression, regular anxiety, cleared my hormonal acne, regular if not strengthened sex drive, fairly regular periods. 2 months ago, I had a long and heavy period. It was the first time I've ever bled through. Because of that, I was prescribed trivora, which I hated. In very beginning, my sex drive peaked, but that quickly ended because it made sex very painful and it lacked any pleasure.  also left me extremely depressed and crying constantly (I NEVER cry). I switched back to tri-previfem after only a week on trivora. Everyone has a different experience, but mine was positive.
P.S. it's only $9 at Walmart."


"I'm 18 years old and I have had eczema since I was a baby. I've been on many medications and when I heard about dupexant I had really high hopes for it. I have been on this medicine for 4 months now and my dermatitis has gotten worse. My face and neck are constantly burning and my eyes are swollen and red. I haven't had a good experience with this medication but it was worth a try."


"I started this because I need to get my mood stable and it doesn't work for me all.
I'm 113 lbs and haven't noticed any weight gain, I am really sleepy and thirsty during the night but it helps with my mood."


"I have had the Nexplanon implant in for six months and I have very few complaints. After getting it in, I bled lightly for about a month and then my period stopped all together. Overall, my complaints involve my body. I have gained weight, my face stays broken out, and I'm not as happy as I used to be. But the Nexplanon does its job, just makes me nervous because without my period, i don't know if I'm pregnant especially with the way that it mimics pregnancy symptoms."


"The medication almost killed me. It caused me stage 3 kidney desease and other problems."


"Doctor prescribed me Remeron, I've been taking 15mg for about a month now. I've noticed an increase in hunger and I get great sleep with this medication. However it hasn't helped with my anxiety attacks or depression. I also noticed that I'm becoming more and more forgetful, often find myself staring at nothing in a daze, and hard to articulate what I'm thinking or feeling."

"I have a big ovarian cyst on my right ovary so my doctor told me to try Pontsel but I've been using it and nothing has changed for me."


"I took 150 mg x 2 daily of nucynta for full body stabbing pain and it didn't even help one bit for the pain. I do not recommend this drug to anyone, it is a waste of time , money and it doesn't work for moderate to severe pain. There was a survey on Facebook the other day in a support group and nucynta helped only 1 in 10 people for there pain. The only positive side it had no side effects for me but I rather had it made me sleepy and help my pain then waste my time and money. Disgrace of a pill"


"I learned to sail keelboats 8 years ago.  I love it, but am prone to seasickness. I tried ginger initially but that was ineffective.  Then a friend suggested Bonine and I have used it ever since.  I don't feel drowsy while sailing, but on the drive home after sailing and all the next day I can be very drowsy.  To combat the drowsiness I tried reducing my dose, I now take 1/3-1/2 a tablet each time I go out (once or twice a week), increasing the dose up to 1-1/2 tablets if I expect rough seas.  Over the 7 years of twice a week use, I have only had trouble twice in stormy 6 ft seas.  Highly recommend, but figure out your best dose.   I have taken it for up to 10 days continuously without ill effects."


"Stopped my Crohn's Disease flare up very quickly and rather effectively."


"Compared to last year, a feel may grass pollen allergy far less in my airways this year. Before starting Singulair, I could get asthma attacks of just low amounts of grass pollen. Now, my tolerance has greatly improved. The same goes with my eyes. It took some weeks, but now I hardly need eye drops (i.e. Cromolyn) any more. This medicine has truly exceeded my expectations.
Side effects were slight itching and drowsiness the first two weeks or so."


"I have been using Nubain for the last 6 years and I can honestly say, it's changed my life.  I am in dire need of a knee replacement but nobody will do the procedure due to my age..I am told by orthopedic doctors to wait until I'm at least 46( I'm 44) so I have 2 more years to wait.  I was a collegiate gymnast and coached for 17 years, have had 2 ACL surgeries and basically have bone on bone knee pain.  I have tried everything..but this is a life changer.  "


"I had tried Viagra without any positive results, before my doctor switched me to Cialis (20 mg) tablets. I take one tablet, usually an hour to 3 hours before intercourse. What a difference this has truly made in our lives. We had gone two plus years without real sex, mostly just foreplay. Now, with Cialis, I am rock hard like my younger days and can go for hours. I always wake up with a pitched tent the next morning . Sometimes I do wake up with a mild head ache as a side effect but that is really all."


"Gabapentin is a miracle worker. While I was suffering with depression and severe anxiety, I was against taking any type of medications to help me however things were starting to get out control. I am very happy with how things are now. My mood swings are finally under control and I am to think clearer than ever before."


"It's been almost 2 years since switching over from Atripla to Complera  and  I've never had any problems or side effects with the medication. I usually take complera after dinner."


"I was really frightened to get Mirena after reading some of the awful reviews. However, it has been a good experience so far. I have had it for about a week. I was told about the spotting and I have only had a little one day. I had absolutely no stomach cramping after a couple of hours after it was put in, but you must take about 5 Aleve before and after. The worst part was when they put it in. It wasn't bad until they dilated my cervix, and let me say, if that's what childbirth feels like, I'm scared. That lasted for about 45 seconds and then was over. Overall, I've had a pretty good experience. Everyone is different, but I am amazed at how little side effects I've had."


"Frova works best for me out of the all the Migraine medicine I have tried.  It has the least side effects & does not make me sleepy. It works in around 30 mins for me.  However, my insurance company is now needing approval from the doctor because it is so expensive."


"I love it I haven't had any weight gain and the only problem was my period lasted a month but other then that I have very few headaches and haven't gotten pregnant"


"Debilitating joint and bone pain forced me off this medication.  Had to be treated as if pain was rheumatoid arthritis. Very severe.  I have read many other stories similar to mine."


"I have been taking Yaz for roughly around 7 years, it was a miracle pill for my PMDD when I first started taking it. Over the past 3-4 years I have not been feeling up to par. Severe allergies, fatigue, mouth ulcers, no interest in sex, moodiness and stomach pain are just a few of the things I had been experiencing.  After a bout of moodiness and having to be talked to twice at work (this never happens, I pride myself in my work ethics) I finally decided to check into the background and rare side effects of Yaz, I have been experiencing all of them! I'm not suggesting this will happen to everyone but if you start to not quite feel yourself it never hurts to check into your medications background. I will stop taking Yaz!"


"I think Stelara is okay.  I have had psoriasis for thirty five years. First shot two weeks ago has barely done anything but has lightened the patches. I also have psoriatic arthritis."


"After being on Viberzi for less than a week I became suddenly stricken with severe abdominal pain and vomiting. My husband called an ambulance and I don't even remember getting to the hospital. I came to 2 days later and was told I went into a coma in the ICU and my organs were shutting down. My doctor told me I came within minutes of dying then just turned around and came back to the land of the living. I have absolutely no memory of any of it."


"I have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis for 17 years. I started Ampyra 3 years ago and since then I am more stable. I walk a little bit faster and get a lot more done in a day. Right after I started Ampyra I was able to snowboard with my kids, something I never thought would have been possible."


"I suffered from toenail fungus on my left big toe for ten years. After having no luck with over the counter medications I went to my dermatologist who prescribed a pain on one. I went through several months of using it and had zero improvement. My dermatologist then prescribed a 3 month treatment of terbinafine. I am now done with the treatment and my nail is about 75% clear! Had all of the blood work done and everything came back fine. I thought I was experiencing side effects the first few weeks but I think it was mostly in my head because I read all of these awful reviews. All I can say is that this literally has changed my life and I am so mad I didn't try to get prescribed to it ten years ago!!! 10/10 would recommend."


"One way to relieve the nausea is to take Brintellix in Peanut or almond butter.  Put the bill directly in the pnut butter. It really helps.

If nausea occurs when beginning the med it usually goes away within a couple weeks. Same for increasing the dose."


"I have used monistat before and it was painful each time. The BURN!!!!!! I was doubled over and in so much pain that I passed out. I woke up the next morning not remembering when I fell asleep. The burn lessens over time, but not enough to fall asleep. But one thing for sure, it got rid of the yeast infection by the end of the treatment. Next time I will go to the doctor and ask for a less painful treatment."


"This medicine works well for me and I tried a lot of medicines. It's a little pill, does a lot. People have said I seem much better and have my personality back (I was on lithium, made me like a zombie). Hardly any side effects. I take it with Lamictal. A  "


"By far, the WORST birth control that I have ever taken. I made the mistake of switching from the ring to this pill and it was practically ruining my life. My sex drive was gone, I had major stomach cramps along with constipation, my mood was terrible and I was always angry or sad, I gained a lot of weight due to the fact that my appetite increased majorly, my periods were abnormal and my skin was the worst it has ever been. Overall, not the right birth control for my body and I stopped in the middle of my pack and I feel 100% better than I was. The only thing it did do good, for me, is I didn't 't get pregnant. Going back to the ring after this nightmare."


"I took two pills at 3:00 pm, I fell asleep around 10:30 pm and woke up wide awake at 1:00 am! I'm still sneezing and coughing but I'm feeling better than I was before so it works but now I'm wide awake and can fall back asleep and I feel funny like my heart beat is slower. I sure hope this feeling passes!"


"This is not the first or second time i have taken plan B, just saying. However, this times has got to be the only time I've experienced noticeable side effects. One week after taking plan B i experienced cramping, bleeding, blood clots, along with nausea, and dizziness. This is the worse time and last time of all. However, besides these side effects the pill definitely works to prevent pregnancy as far as i know. It could be a coincidence or because of plan B that im not pregnant at this point but ill just say it's due to plan B. I recommend it to whoever is having any doubts or worries, despite the side effects because before now i never experienced noticeable side eefects."


"I haven't pooped in 2 weeks, tried laxatives, enemas, suppositories, nothing helped. Went to my Dr, had an x-ray, was told I was backed up from top to bottom

( full of $#!the ). Dr said get some Mag Citrate, he didn't say I'd turn into a mud factory.  I've been in the bathroom for 3 hours and still going strong,felling like there's no end in sight. My rear latterly feels like  a ring of fire.

So yes, it works. Like the Energizer bunny, I keep going and going!!"


"Started Lutera six months after the pains started and the very first month my pains have gone down significantly.  I'm amazed and grateful for this pill!"


"Prescribed .4mg flowmax 1x daily for kidney stone.  Holy cow this stuff lowered my blood pressure!  Took one dose at night, and almost fainted when I awoke and tried to get up, which is a know side effect but it took 16 hours to get back to where I could walk and I was pounding liquids the whole time.  Should be more clearly designated.  My HR was up in the 110  range and my resting rate is 60 normally."

"I am an RN and used Biafine on a number of conditions, 1st and 2nd degree burns are my favorite, because it decreases the pain tenfold. I have seen Biafine heal pressure sores that previously nothing helped  and I have personally put it on things like cuts that should have taken weeks to heal and they would be completely healed in a matter of days."


"This medication has been working well for me so far and I've tried them all. Glad it comes in 2 doses. I figure I can get good results with 3mg why bump up to 6mg. Side effects are nothing compared to others I have tried. I hope I don't get used to it but my doctor said it's not addicting."


"This was the second BC pill I've ever been put on and my experience has been amazing ... once I let my body adjust to the pill. At first I experience an almost three week period. However, now I don't really even get any period and I am asymptomatic. I had horrid cramps and really bad PMS (PMDD) and it's all gone now. :) I'm so happy!"


"I hate this birth control! I'm lucky enough to not have irregular bleeding or become pregnant but I've gained 20 pounds, have mood swings, get headaches, no sex drive, and don't feel like myself!!! I'm getting it out soon and I've only had it since the beginning of February."


"I've been in chronic pain for YEARS..just the other day I took cymbalta..it worked the first day..unbelievable I was amazed.I read a ton of bad reviews so I was sceptical. But it worked..I dont have to take any pain meds at all.

I have fibromyalgia small fiber nuropothy degenerative disc disease osteoarthritis lupus.."


"Convenient, easy to use....best blood glucose numbers!"


"I had implanon inserted in December of 2009. The first two months I did not get a period but since then I have gotten it every 2 weeks. And it isn't just spotting, it's a full period with PMS lasting around 5 days. I talked to my health care provider and was put on Apri along with the Implanon in order to regulate the bleeding which my HCP said should regulate in about a month. Other than this, the only side effects I've gotten are increased appetite but with no weight gain and my skin has cleared up."


"I've been trying this patch for about 3 weeks now and the cramps are unbearable I feel like I need to take midol everyday it's so bad feels like period cramps, I feel so nauseous that I want to throw up and my boobs are terribly SORE not to mention it has caused me to have a horrible yeast infection that I've treated twice in 2 weeks and it just won't subside! I'm hoping after I get through this month of the patch that my body becomes immune to it otherwise this patch is the devil and I HATE it I wouldn't recommend it."


"I didn't like being on this birth control. I was on it for about 2 months when I started to have seriously bad acne breakouts. I always would a few pimples before my period, but these breakouts were terrible, and they would last forever. I also started to break out on my chest. Something else I noticed was weight gain. I am an avid runner and when I started Junel I gained about 6 pounds and felt consistently bloated... which is very abnormal for me. As far as protecting against pregnancy goes it definitely did its job and I haven't noticed any significant changes in my mood one way or the other. I have cramping on the first day of my period but it isn't too bad and my period lasted about 4-5 days."


"My neurologist has tried me on several medicines, but I work in the OR that the Cymbalta and Lexapro do make the pain manageable but I think all the side effects are with me. Mentally I felt like I was floating. I have done the amitriptyline, Neurontin, Buspar, Ultram, Flexeril. But when I read Mucinex I thought you are kidding me. The next morning I went and got some Maximum Strength 12 hr relief and also tried the liquid but I prefer the tablets. Try it I promise it works. Sounds crazy but it does."


"Prevents dwelling on missed loved ones, crying, irritability, feeling left out, self-pity, resentment, bitterness.
Has either hurt or failed to help low energy  level, motivation, task initiation, and focus
Worth it and would not want to try to live without it.
If I miss a dose all that first paragraph stuff comes back but the worst is the physical brain zaps and dizziness upon standing & walking.   If I miss it for 2 days or more, I get a fever and flu symptoms."


"I've been on it for 6 months. I've become moody, depressed and I would cry over anything. My boyfriend hates it, and so do I. I'm tired, irritable, and want to be in my solitude a lot. It has put a strain on my life and my relationship. I am switching to a new birth control soon."


"I got the kyleena IUD inserted about 3 months ago and not only was it THE WORST pain I've ever gone through, I've had so many issues and side effects. Ever since I got it inserted, there has been an annoying throbbing pain in my uterus and despite checkups and pap smears, theres nothing wrong with it. I also had a very early miscarriage on this birth control which was extremely hard on myself and my boyfriend. ALSO I have the worst break outs of my entire life on my jaws, neck, and hips. Gained 15 pounds as well. Would never recommend this birth control to anyone ever. Long story short, I have an appointment next week to get this demon contraption out of me and I am exploring a different type of contraceptive."


"I have taken Norco on and off for my neck and back pain for years.  My stomach produces too much stomach acid and so I developed stomach problems and can no longer take those type of prescriptions orally. I couldn't take enough Norco all of the time to keep the pain under control without it making me sick anyway.  Butrans came along and now the pain is consistently under control and no stomach problems."


"After 3 years of Rebif, I couldn't poke myself any more!!  I was then on Tysabri for 2 years, until my JCV test came back positive. I am now on my 11th month of Gilenya, and LOVE it. My only real symptom is fatigue. I have had a few more headaches than usual, and a very low WBC count, but otherwise, no other side effects.  Have always been a yoga-loving vegetarian. Am on Novartis's $0 copay program, so my portion is nothing!"


"I just started taking Seroquel XR a week ago after a bad experience with Geodon.  So far, so good.  I feel more "laid back" on Seroquel and it helps me sleep which is good for me because I have bad insomnia.  I'm only taking 150mg now, but notice no ill effects.  Time will tell if I need to take more."


"The first month I had it in I was supposed to start my period but I didn't start it til two weeks later it lasted about a week then spotting for a few days after that; since then I have not had a period. I like that I don't have to worry about a period at all. I am 5'1 and started weight 130 when I started right now I weigh 133, I did go up to 148 but that was due to a medical issue completely apart, after being treated I am going back to my usual weight. I did actually lose a bit a weight the first few months while on it. I will say the annoying part is minor fatty parts I cannot seem to get rid of, that being my arms and upper back/hormonal weight? I have since gone Vegan and exercise a bit more too."


"This is a WONDER DRUG in the use of depression. I have suffered for years with depression and never with any relief from the mainstream anti-depressants. Either the side effects were intolerable, or the medicine just didn't work. Within 3 days of taking Provigil, I was the happiest, most productive I had been in a year. The first 2 days I was still really sleepy, and the 3rd day, a little hyper, but after that day I have felt EXCELLENT. I don't have anxiety attacks anymore and I get a full night of "good" sleep and wake up feeling extremely refreshed and I am happy again. I was on my couch for a straight 6 months sleeping and crying until I started this medicine. It literally saved my life."


"This pill definitely works. My initial cycle started 7 days after I took the pill. I ended up having two periods Last month because of the pill. I received my next period about 6 weeks after I took the pill. I had no side effects at all! However, it changed my period completely. My flow isn't heavy as it used to and it still has this dry blood appearance (dark red instead of the normal color of blood). Its also more fluidy or watery than the usual blood. All in all, my worry is that my body did not take this pill as well as others."


"This drug, the first time I took it, caused my jaw to clench and grind uncontrollably. However, it made me feel VERY good and I have just started to take it routinely (100Mg). Hopefully, it will continue to keep me happy, especially since I'm a freshman in college."


"I have only had the Mirena a couple of days but I really wanted to comment on the pain of insertion. Although it is very very uncomfortable type of a feeling, it was NOT excruciating pain like some people had. I'm 26, have had no kids, and am overweight (if that helps). It is over with fairly quickly, no longer than a minute or two. I felt some intense cramping and a couple of pinches of pain, but it the pain spread into just a bad cramp. Just breathe and you'll be okay. I got this put in because I was sick of breakthrough bleeding on the pill. I wasn't on my normal period when I had it inserted, but I was bleeding a fair amount. This made insertion easier."


"I have found that aspirin has been an amazing help with the arthritis pain that I have dealt with over the years.  I don%u2019t know what got into me to give aspirin a try but am I ever glad that I did!  I had thought that naproxen was the best I could do for pain using over the counter medicines since it had been a prescription drug at the time it was prescribed for me for this several years ago.  However, at least for my shoulder pain problem, it has been the other way around. "


"Metallic taste in your mouth throughout entire course of therapy!"


"I was diagnosed with depression about 6 months ago and started with a very low dose of prozac. About 3 months later I was institutionalized and switched to Zoloft. Most of the people there for depression were on it and it worked for them. However, it does not work for me at all. I've been on 100 mg for about 2 months and I feel jittery when I sit for too long or when I'm trying to sleep, I get really grouchy and rude (which is unusual for me) , and things that only bothered me before make me really depressed."


"This s the 2nd time I'm sharing this experience!
I think first it didn't work on me! Still I continued using it!
I was a lazy person earlier but now I've started working in office and I walk about 3 km everyday!
It's been 1 week since I started working and walking my appetite is same but but but I gained 3 kg in a week and I'm gaining! I weigh every day and the weight is always increasing!!  I am 51 kg now hope I'lll reach 60 soon. I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall~!"


"I  had my birth control inserted February 2016 and just had to remove October 2016. First time ever with birth control ever. So let's take a ride down  back to the beginning of the year.  I gave birth January 20, 2016 and was back to my pre pregnancy birth weight, once I return home three days later.  About three weeks later I got the nexaplon inserted,  I consistently had weight gain month over month, even while breast-feeding.  My periods were very irregular never heavy,  just spotting for a very long times (sometimes two weeks)  and would leave for a couple days and come right back.  My pre pregnancy weight was 130lbs.  I now weigh 162 pounds.  I don't recall any mood swings and I've always been an emotional person."


"The worst birth control option available. I had Nexplanon in my arm for six month, and those six months were a nightmare. I suffered terrible anxiety. I also started having problems with lactose temporarily and questioned if I was lactose intolerant. I would randomly cry when I was alone. It sparked adult acne. I had trouble breathing sometimes. Honestly, it was just a horrible, confusing experience. Sure, it is effective in the sense that it prevents pregnancy, but there are better options than Nexplanon."


"I have been taking Yaz for over 3 years.  I needed a birth control pill to take when I was on Accutane for acne, and this is the one my Ob/gyn prescribe. Well I can't say what impact the Yaz had on my acne, since I was also taking Accutane and that would have had a much bigger effect but I did like the lighter and shorter periods.

What I didn't expect was for my periods to get lighter and lighter and eventually become non-existent.  I haven't had a period in over two years.  I didn't experience any weight gain.  I have no other side effects, and my skin is still clear. I have nothing bad to say about it."


"I've had the Nexplanon implant since November of 2013. In the last 6 months I have gained 20 lbs. My periods are irregular, with brown clotty spotting lasting at least 20 days a month. I have absolutely NO sex drive. I have acne breakouts on my lower chin every now and then. I'm very moody and I've noticed other mental issues with matters such as memory. This birth control does it's job well at preventing pregnancy but everything else is a negative for me. I'm not speaking for anyone else but this is not agreeing with my body. I will be having it removed as soon as possible. I tried to wait for my body to adjust to it, but I think I've given it enough time."


"Wow, this pill has helped my father big time.  He has been on it since August of 2011 and no exacerbation since then.  My father had 3 of them last winter, but thanks to this product, none since he's been taking it.  His doctor also said that it would take a while to kick in, however so far so good and he claims that he can breath better."


"started victoza May 26th 2015 till yesterday sept. 16th 2015....I couldn't take it anymore because of the nausea and feeling like I had a apple core stuck in my throat all the time.  I have decided to go on Janumet as Victoza did't bring my weight down nor did it help me keep my numbers below the required range."


"I've been on Loestrin 24 Fe for about 3 years now, and I love it. I have never taken any other birth control pills, so I have nothing to compare it to. The first two months I had long irregular periods. Since then I haven't had a period (except when I skipped some pills). I have noticed that my breasts are larger, some irritability and a decreased sex dive, but none of the side effects are constant or bad enough to change brands. The irritability and decreased sex drive could just be stress related. I would recommend Loestrin 24 Fe to other woman."


"Had each knee done in 2009.The shots lasted close to five years with some minor discomfort coming back.I had two mores shots just today, hope it lasts another 5 years.Biggest problem blue cross in Mass won't cover it. 875 per shot!"


"this is the worst thing that ever happened to me

i decided to get it as i heard it helps with cramps

it sure did BUT

ITS BEEN A YEAR AND ONE MONTH AND IVE HAD MY PERIOD NON-STOP FOR THE WHOLE TIME

my self-esteem is down, i feel unattractive and disgusting i am getting rid of this thing as soon as possible

im typing this out with tears in my eyes. this is the worst thing that i have ever used."


"At 46, I began having UTI's, urinary frequency/urgency, and burning vaginal dryness.  I was prescribed Estrace, but the standard formula caused me burning as well. However, a compounded version of estradiol in a hypoallergenic formula has been very helpful.  My vaginal burning has stopped, and the urinary urgency/frequency has improved dramatically over the last 2+ months.  I think Estrace can be very helpful, and if you're sensitive to it (the propylene glycol can be an irritant), a compounded version can be extremely helpful."


"I have been on this medication for about a month and a half and have not lost one pound. I drink water and have even eaten healthy. The only thing this medicine does is help me sleep better. It does not curve my appetite at all. I will go back to phentermine,  it actually works. I do not recommend this medication."


"Amazing. Helps with my serve nausea and helps me sleep. It's better if you take it 30 minutes before the trip. And also helps with anxiety it relaxes you."


"I had been experiencing some mild itching  and decided to diagnose myself with a yeast infection. I attempted to go to my gynecologist but they had a two month waiting list. It was only a minute after applying the treatment and I was in excruciating pain. Burning and itching. Rolling on the bed holding myself while crying. The worst of it was over relatively quickly. I decided to get in the shower and try to get most of it out and 30 minutes later it is tolerable. Still some itching but much better now. I'm not sure if it's painful because it's working or not but I do know I will not be continuing the treatment. Going to call my doctor and see if they recommend anything."


"I've been on geodon for about three weeks now. So far no side effects but it's diffcult to take with 500 calorie meals. I'm not much of a breakfast gal and find myself looking for food to take my medicine in the morning."


"Apart from wanting to sleep a lot in afternoon finding great results found it best taking it at 10pm"


"I started this drug 2 months ago.  I've lost 19 lbs since I started, but not totally positive it's because of the drug.  This is supposed to suppress your appetite, and mine has been full on since I started.  I've also had quite a few side effects, some I've seen mentioned, some not:
Constipation-  It's usually a few days between and typically fairly painful
Nausea- This is new.  2 months in and it was really bad.
Light Headed- This came with the nausea.  Combined it was so bad I couldn't look at my phone and I couldn't drive.
Muscle Fatigue- My legs were fatiguing 20 mins into a workout, which is really abnormal for me. "


"I got on the shot in April 2012 for many reasons. 1. I worked at the YMCA in the pool & I didn't want to worry about bleeding 2. My cramps were torture! I wouldn't be able to get out of bed. During the first month or so I did spot and have some cramps but they eventually stopped. I love the shot. I did gain some weight but that was some what my fault because I stayed unactive. But with a good diet and some exercise you won't gain weight! Recommend it to everyone!"


"Awful pill! I started taking this pill three months ago as my previous pill was making me hypersensitive to the sun (Gedarel). I think I'd rather live like a vampire than try and cope with the mood swings from this pill. My poor fiancé has even mentioned how bad my mood swings have been and it makes me feel awful being so up and down all the time. I am going to change it this week and hopefully be more successful with the next one.
I am a very happy go lucky person and this pill is the worst I have ever been on. I have been on Micro 30, Dianette and Gedarel in the past 7 years and is one is by far the worst.
My sister is on this one too and she is fine so just goes to show how individual it can be to react to certain pills."


"At first I thought this was a miracle drug but after about 2 months they had to double  my dosage then in about another 2 months later the same thing. Next thing you know I'm on the max dosage with no symptom relief. OMG that's when the real nightmare started. It was almost impossible to stop. I was ready to check in a a hospital. My doctor did watch me and did her best to get me off the medication safely but it was really really hard. Even though it did not help my fibromyalgia I suffered from withdrawal. Please PLEASE really read the side effects before taking this medication."


"It didn't work for my son and he ended up bouncing around on a lot of medicines."


"I got put on this birth control after almost getting pregnant in March. The implant procedure was better than I thought it would be. My arm was so numbed up I barely felt a thing, the most painful part was being numbed. I got this put in while on my period, my period lasted until the end of May. I've had no problems with it at all. It doesn't hurt unless I mess with it repeatedly. The only thing different is I have dreams about being pregnant. I wake up believing Im pregnant. And sometimes I get sick when I smell certain foods. Like a pregnant woman. I love it though!"


"hey! I decided to write a review to put some peoples minds at ease.  I had unprotected sex march 17th and I took plan b march 18th (20 hours later) to be exact. Six days after I experienced spotting for a couple of days my period was supposed to be here April 6th and it never came. I wasn't too worried at first until I was more than a week late so I took a pregnancy test and it was negative, today April 21 I finally got my period I know it can be nerve wrecking but be patient! hope this helped :)"


"I have had an on/off opiate addiction for 7 years.  The only reason that I maintained the addiction was fear of withdrawl symptoms.  I waited 12 hours after taking an opiate before taking the Subutex. The withdrawl symptoms on the Subutex were almost non-existent.  I highly recommend this for anyone who is serious about quiting."

"I started taking Adipex July 1. My starting weight was 268 and I lost 12lbs the first week. I have not checked my weight but I'm waiting for my 30 days to see but I notice some differences in my body and the way it looks.  I'm never hungry but I make myself eat three times a day.  I drink a lot of water and I workout now three times a week I never used to work out at all. I love this medicine. It is changing my life, can't wait to weigh myself."


"Immediate itching and burning after applying.  Developed redness and several red bumps and whiteheads.  Very painful."


"No good for depression or anxiety. For me just helps you to sleep"


"I was on the edge of hypothyroidism but not fully diagnosed cause my TSH wasn't considered high enough to be classified but had most of the symptoms so I was given the low dose of a thyroid medication I was so sick, I ended up in the ER with a horrible migraine and throwing up for 14 hrs. My dr. switched me to Tirosint same dose as before and I have no side effects. I am finally feeling human I am not so tired, I am more alert and focused, my TSH level has gone to a much better level."


"I started Victoza 2 1/2 weeks ago due to insulin resistance and weight that won't come off. I know I have lost some weight. My appetite is reduced. There is no pain with the shot. I have only had nausea 2 x. HOWEVER, I am concerned about infections, This is listed as a possible side effect and after a week of being on this, I have 3 different infections in my body! This is not normal for me! My blood sugar numbers are down, but still not as low as I would like."


"I was recently given valium with methadone for muscle spasm and pain due to cancer treatment. I have to say with all the other medicines we tried this worked the best. I have to give a big thanks to my doctors for finally coming up with a treatment that finally worked."


"Before taking Saphris I had hallucinations, both aural and visual; zero motivation, interest, and energy; a very flat mood, and paranoid delusions. Saphris has kept the visual hallucinations away, I do not hear voices anymore, I have interest, motivation, and energy, my mood is no longer flat and I have been feeling pretty good. It has not done anything for my delusion but I have hope that it will eventually help. I have experienced no side effects. I am on 10mg a day, 5 taken in the morning and 5 at night. I am not at 100 % but I am so much better than I was."


"When the doctor gave me these patches I had a a "yeah right" attitude.  I am  stunned! I applied the first patch and 3 days later I had significant pain relief! I just applied my 2nd patch and I am able to resume doing a lot of things I haven't done in years. I had side effects at first, sleepiness, shakiness, and severe nausea but they passed within the first week. I am amazed and pleased at the effectiveness of these patches."


"Worked fine for awhile, been having horrible calf and foot cramps that wake me up out of a dead sleep screaming!  I have had thrush about 10 tImes in the past 2yrs. Can't handle hot conditions for any length of time & I'm an Optician and it causes me blurred vision  at times so I have taken my self off this medication, the side affects are NOT worth the benefits of this medication"


"the only manufacturer of this is not currently shipping the drug although their customer service says they will at some unspecified date.  All customers should contact them, and ask them to prioritize putting this prescription back in the supply chain so those of us who rely on it can leave the house without fear of an "accident"."


"Developed severe reactions to Cipro. Took 250 mg for only two days but developed itching, rash, nausea and headache that lasted days after I stopped taking it."


"Makes me feel very depressed and anxious and agitated . It makes me feel suicidal and I can't sleep."


"I was prescribed Arthrotec 75/0.2MG. I had spinal surgery on L5 in 2001 by an orthopedist and in 2009 on same disc by a neurosurgeon. In 2009, I took a long time to recover. Also, I am suffering from degenerative disc disease on S1 to the point of self fusion (a good thing as it stabilized my lower back). In 2009, I was prescribed  Arthrotec 75 / 0.2MG
I found this to be a miracle. I only take it as needed and only when it wears off. Once a week or as needed. FANTASTIC results! It takes years off my body. I am 62."


"The Doctor gave me 10 MG Lisinopril for high blood pressure - I never had a headache for over a month.  it was great but I developed a bad cough so he took me off.  I miss not having the headaches.  I think I was taking to high a dose. I'd like to try a smaller mg."


"I am going on 5 years taking this medication religiously.  I was diagnosed with Stage 2B ductal carcinoma, invading my chest wall and 3 lymph nodes in 2008. So far, cancer free. The side effects are minimal. My skin is drier and I do feel aged but I also had my ovaries removed after testing   for BRCA2 so I think it might be due to that also. I want to continue taking for another 5 years since I'm only 34."


"I've taken triptans for years as an abortive therapy, and recently started on some preventatives. My neurologist thought that I should try Cambia, saying that it was faster-acting (and better for me in the long term - not sure if I buy that, after looking at the side effects) than triptans. It lessened the intensity of my migraine for about two hours, after which my migraine was worse than ever. I ended up having to take a double dose of triptan. The package that I have (sample) does contain aspartame, which I know I don't react well to, so perhaps that was part of the problem. Anyway, I won't be trying it again. The powder dissolves quickly, but I found the taste pretty awful - like drinking toothpaste."


"I have been on the drug about 7 weeks and have had no real change in my acne just real dry chapped lips and dry skin but spots are still here, how long til it changes and they start to go away?"


"I am finishing up my 7th day of the medication.  Every website I have read made me extremely nervous about taking this medication.  If I can give any advice, EAT A FULL MEAL BEFORE YOU TAKE THE MEDICATION! If you don't eat, you will be extremely nauseous and throw up.  I hate forcing myself to eat, but if it prevents the nausea, I will do it.  You need to eat 4 meals per day.  DRINK PLENTY OF WATER ALL DAY!!!!  The mornings are hard, because you do wake up nauseous, but the first thing I do is grab a bottle of water and drink some.  I ended up with the darkened stool and diarrhea, but other than that everything has been going fine."


"Several yrs ago I was diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder.  Had back surgery a couple yrs back and was prescribed Tramadol for pain. Turns out Tramadol (50-100 mg/day) works great for anxiety for me. If you take it for anxiety, make sure if asked that you say it is prescribed for pain as well. Several pharmacists tell me if you say it's for anxiety only, they "have" to report you and your MD and you both may be arrested. Not sure if the pharms are right, but if they are, it appears this is another case where a few abusers screw it up for the rest of us. It was not on the controlled substance list until very recently. In any event in my experience Tramadol is very effective to treat anxiety disorder."


"I have been taking Wellbutrin for 16 months now. I started taking it when I was 7 months pregnant with my second child. I suffer from severe post partum depression so my Doctor decided to start me on the Wellbutrin before I gave birth. It made an incredible difference! After giving birth the second time I felt about 80% better then I did the first time. I have been taking it ever since. I had minor side effects of nausea and mood swings. I am so happy I continued with this medicine! Wellbutrin is an amazing medication, I recommend putting up with the side effects because the results are life changing!"


"I have been on Lutera over a yr now and it has been a great pill. I have had NO weight gain and in fact lost a few pants sizes. It has cleared my face of breakouts, except an occasional pimple or 2 around the time of my period. I was informed of a manufacturer change a couple months ago and have noticed some changes. I get stomach cramps a week before my period, been overly tired and been craving sweets when I normally don't like them. And one of my recent periods I stayed nauseous with no appetite and slept every chance I got. Not sure if this is due to being in the process of changing jobs, pms, or the new manufacturer. If it is the new manufacturer, will get my obgyn to switch me."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I was put on Xeralto as an alternative to Warfarin four days before my colonoscopy and endoscopy, stopped one day ahead of the procedures, and resumed 3 days after.  I had already been anemic, probably because of bleeding due to the Warfarin (which is reversable with Vitamin K).  Several polyps were removed, including one large one that had to be partly removed, and later on to
get the other part.  I was now bleeding even worse with the Xeralto.  My hemoglobin fell to 5.2, and I was given several transfusions. Hb rose to 8.7, and I was sent home.  The Xeralto has no way to reverse bleeding, and if it is discontinued, there is an increased chance for a stroke.  I would prefer to have Warfarin and a way to reverse the bleeding."


"I have had 7 major depressions over the past 12 years. Each one lasted about 5 months and I have previously treated this with Effexor but the doses escalated to 525mg so needed to try something new. Started on 10mg Brintellix about 5 weeks ago. Nausea went after 4 days and mood improved after 2 weeks. Unfortunately my mood started to deteriorate again at about week 4 so I increased the dose to 20mg. Had to go through the whole nausea/tiredness again for 4 days. After a week on this dose things have again improved so I'm hopeful that this will continue. This is the first time something has worked so quickly and effectively for me. Hang in there with the side effects - it's worth it."


"I am unable to fill my normal Zubsolv 1.4mg /. 36 nalproxone,  again,  because it's so new and no one uses this low dose. Won't be here until Tues, it's Fri & have 1 left. Had to find some from people since I need a script to get the 1.4s in Stock. Dr never calls back& /or makes me do an  appt so she can get my 40 copay. I found this med. Worried about 8mg vs.  1.4. I Started suboxone in 2004, switched to subtext,  then to sub film. Insurance Co made me switch to zubsolv! I only take opioids for pain cuz I can't get a Dr to prescribe narcotic w/my history, &  only take them when I have a painful day. Instead I'm forced to take this everyday. It's not fair! I switched 1 drug dealer for another! At least I got high with other dealer! Not fair"


"I gave it a 10 because its "effectiveness" is true, it doesn't  let you get pregnant. That's our end goal right.
Yes side effects happen, all birth control has side effects. I spotted a lot the 2nd and 3rd year of the first one I had. Yes mood swings at the end of the 3rd year. I chalk that up to the birth control running out. I would suggest getting it out at least a month before its due to be changed. I waited a week before and the hormones were freaking stupid crazy and I felt pregnant. It all went away when I got the second one put in.
Overall I love it. It did its job of not letting me have a baby. Not everyone is the same. Try it. If you don't like it then take it out. Try something else.
Its not rocket science."


"Just started so what I'm experiencing may change after some time (I hope) but I began bleeding the next day of taking sprintec and I'm still bleeding now. Ok fine maybe because it's new but I'm also nauseous EVERYDAY right after I eat or drink ANYTHING (it's helping me loose weight because I can't keep much down) also now I have acne like I've never had acne. I'm easily depressed then I'm super happy like it's confusing. This is not kool but like I said it is still new for me so I'm going to give it time. My GYN days after 3 months it should be better"


"Very effective for pain relief.  For me the itching and long lasting (up to a month after use) red squares in all areas where the patch has been applied are serious setbacks. Several solutions have been suggested but none of them have helped. Because of the itching and the efforts to reduce it, the patches tend to fall off. It seems I scratch the area at night and dislodge the patch. Any abnormal stress in my life tends to aggravate these side effects. But as stated they work for pain relief."


"I used Malarone for two years in Uganda and found it to be very effective and with minimal side effects. Having used other prophylactics against malaria in other African environments long term I would recommend it for those who do not like the side effects of Lariam (mefloquine). "


"My insurance no longer covers the preferred Androgel (ugh!) so I ended up with this.  The medication smells like a cross between cheap "old man" cologne and ant and roach killing spray.  I used it one time in the morning before work and the smell lingered in our home for the better part of the day.  The offensive smell is embedded in my clothing and has now permeated the closet.  The odor is bad enough, but it also makes my wife cough violently and impacts her breathing.  The physician is looking for an alternative as this is an unacceptable side effect.   JUST SAY NO to this drug. It will disrupt your entire household."


"After days of natural remedies (tons of cherries, celery, celery root extract, whatever else I could Google) I took this medication and the extreme pain in my toe was gone overnight. I still feel some pain, but had a good nights sleep and was able to walk a short distance without screaming in pain the next morning. Ignore the natural remedies from people who have never had gout. Their uninitiated minds think gout causes pain. No. Gout is days of slow, gnawing, unrelenting torture from an invisible, blunt toothed enemy, whose torment is so bad, cutting ones foot off seems like a viable option. This medication drives it far away."


"I have being using monistat for 8 years. I have never experienced any thing like this.  I have scarred my lady parts for life. The burning and itching was so strong that I washed it out and it still feels like fire. Everything is swollen. I mean everything. I don't know what is happening but monistat needs to fix this now. I used the 3 days."


"Causes short term memory loss."


"Myrbetriq worked well from the first week.  I have had a few "bad" days, but even these were not as bad as when taking other medications."


"Good results."


"I get kidney stone's a lot and this works the best for me in my time with these rocks. And easy on the stomach!"


"As a healthcare professional I was excited to try this medication as I have been on numerous pain medications all of which are CII's. I thought, wow this could be a great new medication. For pain control, it has been okay, not the best, I have been on this 2 months at the 300 level, I was just switched to the 600 level, so we will see if it improves. Buckle delivery is different - placing it on your cheek, it does not always dissolve, even when the mouth is wet. It does leave a residue on my teeth and cheek, again with a wet mouth as instructed.  It is some times un able to sick, wet ten mouth and all, so it will curl up and I end up swolling it, but not able to dose again until 12 hours later. I have found the squares are broken in half."


"In 42 years old. Omg this pill makes me feell like I'm on my cycle everyday. I'm assuming it's the pill. I've been on it for over two years now. It's been causing problems with my husband because sex is just not in the books for me. I'm moody, cramps all the time, headaches....it's makes me sick. I just want my tubes tide."
