"I have been on Trulicity 12 weeks now.  The first 2 weeks I was on the .75mg injection then went to 1.5mg. The first 2 days after my injection I am very nauseated and usually vomit around 4am. My issue is indigestion and of course nausea and vomiting. I have found that eating no greasy foods, dairy products and no eating past 6pm has helped me tremendously on cutting down on the indigestion and nausea and vomiting. My blood sugars are doing great and my A1C is coming down. I like so many others do not have an appetite and I experience diarrhea often. I have lost 34 pounds so far. I am very happy with the medication and just learning what you can and cannot eat is the key factor."


"I have been using Ortho Tri Cyclen for about six months, and there has been a noticeable decrease in the amount of acne, particularly on my forehead and cheeks. There are still small, mostly unnoticeable bumps around my mouth and chin, but these are gradually decreasing as well (just taking a little longer). The one negative thing that I noticed was that previously, my acne would heal quickly without leaving a scar. Now it heals at the same rate but does leave red/pink scarring on my cheeks. I believe it will go away because it has been fading, but it will likely take a while. As far as my cycle is concerned, my periods have been very regular (something that is unusual for me) and light. I have not had any issues with mood swings."


"I thought this medication wouldn't be that effective but I was WRONG. It cleared my skin in 5 days and even got rid of large cystic acne that I had for like 6 months and nothing helped! I Am amazed. Everyone is saying how my skin is glowing and beautiful. Well I didn't really think it was the Doxycycline doing it until I stopped and bam broke out all over again. So I started back on it and in 2 days it is clearing the large cystic acne that came back. The only down side is it gives me stomach cramps and pain. I think it helps to drink a lot of water. If you are skeptical of this just give it a try. It works well for adult hormonal acne."


"I have been on the second lowest of the four doses for 10 weeks and have lost the 10 lbs I gained over the past 5 years. Most importantly, I lost it all on my waist - a reduction of nearly 2 inches.  Due to the holidays and the flu I have had more food in front of me and have not been able to exercise as much as normal so I can only imagine what I can do going forward or at a higher dose.  This is by far the most effective weight loss medicine."


"This drug saved my life after being diagnosed when I was admitted to an ER with high fasting blood. I am off Insulin and only on this. I do get low blood sugar later in the day. All in all a great medication."


"I've had insomnia all my life but once I was put on Remeron I'm finally able to sleep."


"I am told I am a reasonably intelligent 64 yo. In all honesty my Mother is probably a little biased.
I have suffered and I do mean suffered severe bouts of anxiety and debilitating depression for over 50 years. As you might Imagine I have seen everybody, tried every remedy under God's sun.

Drug companies in this and most other countries are motivated by one thing ONLY. Greed/MONEY and getting more. If someone can be helped as a side effect along the way, it makes great press but it sure isn't essential.

I found a Loooooong time ago that I had to do the research into my own personal condition, that I had to in essence, become my own Doctor."


"Skyla is the third birth control method I’ve tried. To date, I’ve had an IUD for ten months before getting it out today. In regards to its effectiveness and convenience, it’s a 10/10 option for birth control. No condoms or trips to the pharmacy for refills in ten months, and no pregnancies. It’s nice to not have to actively think of your birth control, especially if you lead a busy life. However, there were some downsides to this method, which is why I switched back to the pill today. The insertion process was unbearably painful for me, I'd rate it a 9/10. I’ve always had heavy periods with severe menstrual cramping, and this was by far the worst pain I’d ever experienced. After insertion, I experienced mild cramping for the rest of the day, but experienced sporadic, severe cramping for the first two months. Like, “knock the wind out of you, can’t walk or talk” cramping, and it would come and go in spontaneous waves. Those passed after the first 2 months and for the remaining 8, I experienced cramping maybe two or three times and it was when I got my period. Speaking of, I spotted for a no more than two weeks after insertion; my periods became significantly lighter during the first three months and by the fourth plateaued out but remained light the rest of the time. I noticed the more long-term side effects I experienced with Skyla around the 6th month- which were fatigue, weight gain, acne, irritability, and mood swings. The acne is mild, but the weight gain, irritability and mood swings were more significant. I gained about 25 pounds within the ten months and I noticed I was tired, irritable and hormonal all the time- not just when I had my period. I waited a few months to rule out any other factors contributing to these symptoms and to see if they’d subside, but they remained. So, I switched to a low-dose birth control pill today, Taytulla. It contains estrogen and progestin, instead of just progestin like Skyla. Hopefully, my symptoms will begin to disappear. Skyla was effective, but unfortunately didn’t react well with my body chemistry. But it’s different for everyone."


"I had Mirena inserted 4 months after my 2nd child was born. I bled for about 6 months after that and most of the time it was heavy until the end. I also experienced a lot of pregnancy symptoms.  Now my periods have stopped other than long spells of spotting at random times. Sometimes I will have indications that I am going to start and then I don't.  I now am suffering from lack of energy, low sex drive and an overall sick feeling most of the day. I got over the months of bleeding but I can't stand the way I feel every day. "


"It worked for my joints but I got dizzy and a headache. I had to stop taking it because I continued to feel faint."


"Aside from some of the crummy side effects, bipolar disorder would not and could not be tolerable without lithium. I used to take Depakote alone, now I take lithium and Depakote and can honestly say that keep me even...most of the time."


"My shaking is well controlled but I don't like the side effects I have. I am positive the problems are drug related. I have facial pain, like a sinus pain, nasal burning, occasional headaches, lips and mouth tingle.  I no longer have orgasms.  I have low blood pressure so I couldn't take certain other medications.  A couple others make me very nauseous. I decided to live with the side effects of zonisamide for now."


"I'm younger than most people who take this, but man did the results fan out. I was able to maintain an erection for four hours. I woke up with a stuffy nose and a headache but my wife and I were super glad."


"I've been taking 10mg of Celexa a day for almost 3 weeks now. The first week i experienced minor side effects, excessive yawning, irregular heartbeat, anxiety and so on. I came around to the medication about 5 days into it and was feeling good, i wasn't anxious about socialising and i wasn't having as many negative thoughts (this lasted a week). But now I'm feeling as though I'm returning to my old self. This might be to early to call as I've only taken 18 days worth of tablets but I'm beginning to think my body has built a tolerance for it already. I'm due an appointment with the doc next week so i will enquire about possibly upping the dosage and will review again once i have. I've never taken antidepressants so trial and error i suppose!"


"I've taken Zoloft off and on for depression and OCD for the past 10 years and have experienced few side effects. I am now taking 100 mg and am fine continuing on it for the rest of my life, though perhaps I'll go down to 50 mg at some point. It's been a real life-saver for me; I am rarely down and still feel very much myself. Also, it hasn't led to any weight gain. In all, am very satisfied."


"Chronic pain associated with ulcerative colitls and multiple bowel surgeries. Had large intestine removed, now have permanent ileostomy. I have a ridiculously high pain tolerance, and after trying out the fentanyl transdermal patch (50 mcg every 48 hrs) and taking 10-12 Percocet 10/325 a day, my pain management doctor prescribed Kadian 30 mg every 12 hrs and Percocet for my breakthrough pain. Kadian has been amazing and is helping me get back to my day-to-day life."


"I started taking propranolol after trying anti-seizure drugs that didn't work at all. I used immitrex for a couple of years and it was wonderful, but got less and less effective. I started with 80 mg propranolol extended release. I could tell it made a difference in the severity, but didn't completely control the migraines. I have been on 160 mg a day, once in the morning, once in the evening. Now I rarely get migraines, and very manageable when I do. Different things work for different people.This really works well for me. I had some weight gain, but I attribute it to getting my appetite back. No migraines, no nausea. Haven't gained enough to remotely think about stopping. Had weird and vivid dreams to start with, but that has stopped."


"Can function as normal when taking this medication"


"Never felt any lessening of pain.  After about 3 weeks of putting it on my foot, I experienced a tingling, burning sensation all the way up the leg to the knee."


"It works excellently. It's improved my son's hope for his asthma to get better."


"My 10 year old son, was on Risperdal and it was horrible for him. He started taking 2mg Abilify along with Celexa and in 2 months in school he was doing 70% better. This medication did make his appetite increase and he did gain weight, but not too much weight. Once his body got used to it, he began to have trouble sleeping, so his doctor increased his dosage to 4mg a day, 2mg in the morning and 2 mg at night. He is sleeping well again, and appetite has seem to stabilize. This medicine has been great for my son."


"It was either a dose of Kionex oral Susp, or a trip to ER. The medication was a little chalk like but The flavor of raspberry quickly redeemed the quality of the product. Take it as directed from your physician. Important information such as your Potassium levels are important and if it is your first time can be scary. Know by research..... learn what you can do first..... it is a matter of life or death."


"I am taking 54mg for inattentive ADD its only been a month of taking Concerta without breaks, but I feel I have the general feeling down. I can focus with minimal distraction. After 3 weeks I am feeling the loss of appetite, lost 6lbs in one week and there is only a period of about 5 hours I can feel it work, during that time I love the motivation I get and am more social. All in all it does what it's supposed to but for only around 5-6 hours, after the working period I am easily aggravated and my ADD is worse than ever. My anxiety was high at first but after a month I feel like it is less of a problem for me. "


"Didn't do much for my anxiety. I'm taking 150mg two times a day. Can't really feel much difference. I do feel a little bit more "spacey" though."


"Do not take this medication. I only took one and became very nauseous. I saw that most of the reviews were negative, but I thought I would be the one it would help. I took it yesterday and am still sick today with nausea headache and fatigue. I do not recommend at all."


"The NuvaRing is extremely convenient. I didn't even notice it most of the time and it did not bother my boyfriend. However, I am bloated all the time, exhausted everyday, crying all the time, and my breasts have gone from C's to DD's. Some people would like this, but the reason why they have gotten bigger is I think because I'm so bloated all the time. They feel swollen and painful like when you are PMSing, but on a regular basis. "


"DO NOT GET IT.

I wish this site would let me share the pictures I took after getting this birth control. I broke out hives that covered my entire body. I ended up in the emergency room three times for an allergic reaction and was put on four different types of drugs to reduce the inflammation and rash. It was so painful and itchy I would sit there and shake. No matter what I tried the itching wouldn't go away and the hives didn't get better. I called into work twice and was sent home the third time because I could barely stand. Doctors didn't believe it was from the Nexplanon. I told them if they didn't take it out I would dig it out with a kitchen knife. Hives were completely gone within an hour of it being taken out. Not worth it."


"It is good for mood stability"


"I was prescribed 500mg for 10 days for acute bronchitis, sinus infection as well as a very painful ear infection.  After the first dose, I did feel a bit better.  The second dose marked a big difference in how I was feeling overall.  I was also prescribed a very expensive inhaler of Albuterol.  (Rarely use)
The third day was when I noticed that the side effects were now more of a problem than my illness. Metallic taste in my mouth, severe dry mouth, leg cramps, NO sleep, rise in BP and HR. dizziness, and ringing in my ears, agitation.  I am on day 5 and do not want to finish the prescription but was warned, "take it completely..even after you begin to feel better."
The only positive off chart effect is my skin is glowing!"


"June 18, 2017 - I started taking Contrave at the end of January 2017. In the middle of March, I added two Garcinia Gambogia (95%) and 3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed with any fruit juice, on a daily basis.  I am female, and started out weighing 213 pounds. As of today, I have lost 26 pounds. This weight-loss medicine has helped me tremendously and I am looking forward to the next few months.  If you are considering this medication, be sure and look for the half price coupon. It will save you lots of $$$.  Good luck!"


"I have been taking this drug for over 2 years.  4 days after each shot I have seen a difference.  I believe in this shot combined with Kenalog spray for light areas and Taclonex ointment for the flaky areas. I believe anyone would be 80%  cured after 6 months."


"Celexa has changed my life in 5 days!  Thanks to a doctor who finally understood what was wrong with me after suffering excruciating physical pain for at least 10 or more years.  I feel lIke a new person.  Have had more energy in the last 5 days than I have for 5 years!  Suffering from some insomnia but I am sure that will go away.  - 51 year old female"


"I started on Zoloft, which only made the anxiety worse. Got put on Remeron after a hospital stay and it has changed my life. Started at 15mg and then shortly after increasing to 30mg. I did gain 30lbs on it due to craving sweets constantly so I tried switching to Effexor, only again having my anxiety going out of control again. I went back on Remeron 30mg and I am back to my old self. I sleep very well on this medication which for me is so much nicer despite the weight gain."


"I barely pulled out of this lady while having sex with her at a party this February and I threw down 40 dollars on plan b, she covered the other 10. Within 14 hours she took the pill. We had sex the day her period ended, and within two days of taking the pill she bleed for another week. She never told me anything until two weeks ago, but she got her period and it worked. I was so sketched out the whole time, I'm only 18. But it worked, have faith. Look at the positives."


"This is the only medication that stopped my GERD. After the 14 day treatment, the first day I did not take it, my GERD returned in full force. I wish it would have had a longer effect. Have given up on my doctor finding a solution, so will have to suffer for the next four months until I can repeat the Zegerid."


"It gave me hives that took me well over 4 months to get rid of once I quit taking it.  The hives were so painful."


"I was having coughing episodes about 3 hours long. I coughed until I vomited, and even until I lost control of my other bodily functions (both of them). I basically did not sleep more than 3 hours a night (if that) for a week and a half. Since I can expect this cough for another 4 weeks to 4 months, I broke down and gave this a try. It is a testament to the sheer physical force of the pertussis cough that Tussionex only stops it by about 80%. But that 80% makes all the difference! I am sleeping adequately and can keep food down. The unpleasantness that goes along with taking opiates is far, far preferable to this vicious pertussis cough."


"I wish they had not pulled this drug from the market. It was the only medicine that actually worked and worked well with no side effects. I have since tried Amitiza for my constipation and it made me so nauseous and sick I had to discontinue use. I'm miserable now without my Zelnorm."


"It works very well but costs about $150.00 for 30 day supply."


"This is my second time on this pill. I forgot not to lay down after taking. I have horrible heartburn right now. Almost feel like I'm going to vomit. Hoping this stops soon. Been like an hour already."


"I'm into month three with Contrave. It's has curbed my cravings for sweets. Food was constantly on my mind, and now food doesn't own me. That alone is a miracle. I have only lost 10 pounds but that is my fault since I still eat burgers (albeit not the whole thing like before) and haven't exercised. But I haven't gained weight which is what I was doing beforehand. I'm just happy having a 'normal' relationship with food now."


"Had a terrible sinus infection.  Got on a Zpack.  It takes until day 3 before your really start feeling like it's working.  The pack continues to work 10 days after you finish it.  I had no tummy problems like I have read on other postings, but I do make sure to eat yogurt everyday when I am on any type of antibiotic.  The probiotics in yogurt can keep you from getting loose stools.  The one thing that I did notice this time was some dizziness. Never before had that with taking a Zpac.  It was not severe dizziness, but enough to make me wonder."


"Almost  1 year on Belviq.  Started at 348 today my weight 251. Knee and hip pain almost totally gone. Blood pressure  down, life is good"


"I felt like a zombie while on this, I gained ten pounds in first week - and I am one to watch my weight! Also my hands began trembling a lot and I felt very nervous, I was always quivering when I spoke. This medicine ended up being quite scary, with a trip to the emergency room for I felt and looked like I was having a seizure, my family called paramedics and it was a dystonic reaction."


"I'm on 100 mg of bupropion Sr twice a day. Some days I'm balanced, some days I'm full of so much energy and today zombie state.
Pros? The "voices" in my head berating me every second of the day is silent. I am starting to see less hallucinations. My sex drive is up and paranoia down.
Cons? Vivid dreams. Like vivid to the point of not being able to differentiate reality.  Also, you always sleep late and wake up early.
But you trade one major problem for a manageable one so I can deal with this.
It's only been a month. Perhaps it gets better. Who knows. I am worried it may trigger another psychotic episode...may have to talk to Doctor."


"I had horrible cystic acne on my chin (5-6 large, angry, agonising, red lumps at any one time) & they started to creep along my lower cheek which is when I decided to take oral contraception to help it stop.

Now 6 months on from starting yasmin my skin is better than its ever been and I am only left with slight hyperpigmentation which is easy to cover with makeup. Not 1 new spot this month and NO oil at all! Seriously, not even a shiny nose!

Results only started at around 5 months so please, please keep at it. 1st month my breasts grew and hurt alot but by month 2 they went back to their normal size and I felt no more pain. Months 2-4 I had minor whitehead breakouts along my jawline but these disappeared by month 5. Month 6 I am acne FREE"


"I took the Plan B pill 6 hours after having unprotected sex. I received my period one week later, which was 2-3 weeks ago. I am experiencing days where I am bloated to the max, and it never seems to be a day where I am not bloated. I also experience severe pains in my lower abdomen by my ovaries. It feels like I am cramping everyday and feels like I'm going to start my period. The pill was effective in not making me pregnant."


"I just started this medication..75 dose. I'm worried about the lab tests on rats causing thyroid tumors...anyone else know about this?"


"I am now on my 5th month of Yaz and I have zero acne, best decision I've ever made. I first started noticing a difference after the 2sd week, the acne I had started healing and I stopped breaking out (I use get at least one or two new pimples a week, and get a bunch around my period) after the first month I stopped  getting acne all together and I only had some scars. By the second month my scar finally faded and now in my fifth month my skin is completely clear. Everyone is different but I would definitely recommend trying this!"


"I was introduced to a study of Arcalyst in Columbus, Ga. in January of 2007. I was tested and found that I have Familial Cold Auto-inflammatory Syndrome which I have lived with for 55 years. This has been a terrifying disease of misery and pain. But since the Arcalyst injections, from the first one it has changed my life. I am able to work and do anything I desire pain free. I thank God everyday for Regeneron Pharmaceutical Company for this long time study and hard work they have put into this treatment. Everyone needs to try this. My daughter and grand-daughters also have the FCAS and are doing great. Thanks you for the time to express to others the importance of never giving up! Keep the faith."


"After taking this for 3 days and experiencing horrible pain throughout by body I quit. It caused tendinitis in several of my joints. "


"I have severe back pain and have been on everything. Nothing works better then Ultram. I still go to work and don't feel like I'm in a tunnel. I also have no problems with withdrawl symptoms, when I stop taking them."


"I was given Ocella by my doctor to help cure my hormonal acne. My acne when from bad to very severe but I kept taking the pill hoping that all it was just an initial breakout. Seven months passed and my acne was at its worse. I finally gave up on the pill. What has cleared my face of acne is the regimen which I purchased online. My acne is gone but now I have acne scars which are deep pits in my cheeks. I'm now trying to get rid of the scars that Ocella caused me to have in the first place. DO NOT TAKE OCELLA!"


"I was going through a breakdown and eating healthy and working out but still life was a mess and I couldn't cope so my PCP prescribed this to get me through. I lost a bunch of weight, fine because I was a tad chunky and became numb to so many things but I was able to cope better and I had a bunch of energy. I couldn't sleep but it was okay with my 75 hour work week. It was hard to concentrate on my medical studies because I would get confused a lot but overall I adjusted and I would get on it again. Getting off it was smooth."


"I was taking pain medication because of tonsilectomy and hadn't had any bowel movements in 5 Nights I took 6 TSP on the 5th night and went to sleep with nothing in the morning,I then drank some water and had another 6 TSP in the morning and waiting 1 hour which promptly has been clearing my bowels.I haven't pooped myself like many others"


"Generic does not work as well as trade brand, Valtrex - not even close"


"I have been on Tikosyn 250mcg; 2 times a day since July 2009.  I have had very little side effects and I'm feeling better..probably, never be as active as I was before all this. I have a defibrillator and pacemaker with 3 leads also. I feel bionic but I am better than I was a year ago. Just wish I could have more energy and not get tired so fast. "


"So far on 10 mg Norvasc and 80 mg Micardis.  Has proven to be an effective combination for my hypertension. Previsouly my readings were around 160/90 and now it is around 130/75.

I am 39 years old, obese person (100kg) 5ft 6 inches in height.

I have been having hihg blood pressure for about a few years now and have tried quite a few types of medicine until these two which has been ok so far."


"A very effective pain medicine that you don't feel you have to go reaching for it all the time to get relief. I mean you can strictly adhere and take this responsibly per doctors directions. Not many pharmacies carry it, if at all so you will have to order it. That means bringing in your prescription to order it. It may take awhile but it is worth it, for severe pain. Just stick with a good oxycodone for other types of pain. This Levo-Dromoran lasts awhile and too much can cause respiratory depression."


"Oxycodone has made my quality of life much better. If your not in serious pain don't start taking this. After about 1 year of taking the prescribed dose daily your mind and body WILL become dependent on this medication no matter who you are! I must say it eliminates some if not most my pain and allows me to be a functioning being. "


"I just want to share my experience with Pristiq I had suffered depression since I was 15 and tried many antidepressants that made me hallucinate, gain weight and sleep all day. The day since my doctor changed my medicine to Pristiq my life has changed for ever I can safely say that my depression is completely gone. It also diminished my anxiety by 90%. I have absolutely no side effects no weight gain, tiredness, dizziness. On the contrary, it gives me energy, and I feel happy and calm all the time. I am more social, and I laugh and live life like I used to. Pristiq saved my life, and I know that for some people it may not be the best but if you are trying to look for a new antidepressant you should definitely try Pristiq."


"Works great for GAD.  I fought my feelings for years and just toughed it out.  I found myself drinking to ease my symptoms.  The drinking helped turn my brain off for the night, but the feelings just came back the next day.  Finally told my doctor about my symptoms and was prescribed Lexapro.  Within 48 hours the anxiety was dramatically reduced, no excessive sweating, mind racing, etc.  This drug is a god send.  10 mg works best for me, tried 20 but couldn't feel the difference.  Now just have to deal with the drinking."


"I was prescribed 10mg for back spasms, has increased my flexibility and reduced pain but added dizziness. I wouldn't plan on driving anywhere unless you know exactly how your body will react"


"I was on nuvaring for about 3 years & I loved it! No pills to worry about, easy in easy out, comfortable. But I recently got out of a serious relationship & wanted to see what I would feel like without BC. I feel AMAZING.
Nuvaring GREATLY reduced my sexdrive (it feels so amazing to know it was this medication & not me). It also gave me intense PMS mood swings (which I also thought was me).
Essentially what this birth control (& most) do, is release such high levels of hormones, as to trick your body into thinking you're already pregnant. So essentially taking nuvaring was like being a raging dried up bitch for 3 years. I would try something else..

Gave a 5 b/c it was very effective in preventing pregnancy."


"I really wanted this medication to work and took it for 2 weeks.  The side effects were unbearable (I am not a weenie)!!!  Headaches, nausea, dizziness and tinnitus were continuous.  I think you lose weight on this medication because you feel so miserable you don't even think about eating.  I want to lose weight, but don't want to feel totally crappy doing it.  Back to weight watchers for me!! BTW-I dos lose 6 pounds in 2 weeks but not worth the side effects!!"


"I used to take Zoloft for many years (approx 8 to be exact) as i has servere panic disorder after completing year 12. I recently weaned my self off the drug and stoped taking it for the past 6 months. I felt myself relapsing and so have gone back on the drug as of last week, im on 25 mg. I currently feel awful, im very dizzy and some days feel like in going to faint if im sitting down for too long which means i cant concentrate at work, i never had these feelings before when i was on the drug why am i feeling this now have they changed the formula of Zoloft? anyway ill give it the recommended 2 weeks to settle again in my body but if it still makes me feel like this i'm going to stop it, i feel awful and very anxious all the time"


"I was on Implanon for a month and lost half my breast size, and spotted with extreme dryness everyday. Took it off after 2 mths after I realized it was giving me depressive and insecure feelings and was tired the whole time and was driving my bf away. I switched to microgynon and had hair loss and breast size reduction. Mood swings sometimes but it was far better than Implanon. Breast recovered by a slight bit but not much. But hair loss for 3 mths was hard for me to bear. So I switched to Yaz. Within 2 weeks, hair loss significantly reduced by 10 fold and I was getting my hair back! and my breast got bigger too, feel happier nowadays. Great, Yaz suits me well."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been taking Pradaxa for approximately 6 weeks and have noticed a significant increase in gas, flatulence and loose bowels.  Otherwise, it sure beats Coumadin."


"Have been in chronic pain for years, due to head, neck, Ts, Ls and S, damage, This is one of the most annoying delivery types ever thought up by the ever failing pharmaceuticals.
Gross taste and yes to much ends up swallowed, as all pain patients have dry mouth due to everything we've had to take. Fail! It works only on some of my pain, it aggravated headaches to full on migraines daily, and did nothing but inflame my worst area. Nausea yes, bowel pain and dis function miserable for anyone with a intestinal issue.
Why is this being pushed so soon, we all know new meds are never safe, would love for the big 3s to get out of my Doctors care. I'm going to fight back and insist my Doctor be smarter then this save me side effects yet to be seen"


"Okay, I got my Copper IUD 3days ago. I took 1 alive at 9:30 am then a couple ibpro at 11:00pm. My appointment was moved to 2pm so I ate breakfast then napped and took a couple more ibpro at 1:20pm. During the insertion I knew I had to relax or my walls will tighten up. So I did the breathing thing you see pregnant women do. It was painful but short. The pain felt like a pinch not a cramp. It lasted about 5 seconds.
-I started to cramp about 15min after the insertion so I took some more ibpro every 2-3hrs ( I did not get high or feel dizzy. I normally have 800mg (4pills) when I am on my normal period so I just added 2 pills ). I had sex 5 hours after which was fine. He and I both did not feel the IUD.
- I spotted 3 times that day. Twice the following day."


"I've heard that this can be a good experience for some, but I unfortunately had a terrible time. It made me sick, have headaches, gain weight, nauseous, tired, a 4 month long period, and severe anxiety and depression (which was so overwhelming it was the #1 reason I got it out early). It was also very painful to extract---it took over an hour of a scalpel and tweezers in my arm before it finally came out. I understand that I may have had an especially bad experience with this, but be warned that it's possible. This implant is amazing if you want to be sick and suicidal. And also if you love the sight and sound of your own blood dripping into a metal pan because the nurse did not anticipate it to be so difficult to remove."


"Helped me fall asleep, but I didn't stay asleep so it had no real impact in helping my pain."


"no side effects, no interactions, twice a day .  I take this after having open heart surgery"


"This medicine worked great for many years however, after 6 years I had to get a new medications."


"Worked great in the beginning for a month or so, but that was about it.  Even with my excellent insurance, this wasn't covered, but I was given a coupon which made it FREE. If not, it would've been in the $300 range.

That aside, I used all the samples I got and I saw some results, so I filled the prescription. Long story short, I saw no lasting effects. The good about this, there was no burning, peeling, etc. Out of all the acne creams I used, which is a lot over the course of 10-15 years, tazoratene worked best."


"It makes my eyes twitch"


"I experienced chest pains and false ECG reading due to TriCor. My symptoms of angina, joint and muscle aches, and fatigue ended when I ceased the Tricor. After an expensive Cardiac Stress Test, I was given a clean bill of cardiac health. "


"I am a 54 yr old male with history of anxiety, depression and other mood disorders from about age 38. T-Levels were always on the low side of normal, but had recently dropped significantly. Symptoms became worse. Started an exercise program and could not lose any weight and recovery was slow. Started taking Fortesta June 5, 2011. I had no site reactions or any other adverse reactions. I did notice an immediate increase in resistance training performance, cardio performance and recovery. Weight loss accelerated even though appetite increased. Mood has changed positively, although not as significantly as physical changes have. Medicine is very expensive which is definitely a downside especially if this turns out to be a life long regimen."


"Not a cure and I may have been expecting (hoping for) more, but it's working for me.  I still use a cane to walk to the office (.33 mile), but I now get around the office without the cane, including going to the restroom, going for lunch, etc."


"For the first time in my life I am able to lose weight by taking Metformin and watching what I eat.  I've never been able to sustain weight loss in the past.  I feel like the PCOS cloud has lifted.  I'm 47."


"I have been taking buspar for 4 months now and it has helped pretty well for my anxiety. I take 3 10mg a day. I mostly like it because it helps with the extra anxiety and slight depression i get from the come down off of my adderall i take for adhd every day too. The only side effects I've had from the buspar has been nausea but as long as i eat a little bit of food whenever i take them it subsides that pretty well so i would recommend it to anyone with the same situation."


"I've used it for my son and it obviously works the way it should. "


"I have been on Januvia for about 7 weeks and have had diarrhea the whole time. I'm also on metformin and between the 2 I don't think I've had a solid poop in weeks but my blood sugars are down from 25 to under 10 most days. I have gained weight 15lbs and I can't handle the cold this year, always getting chilled. I also have to take mine with food otherwise I get an acid stomach all day no matter what I do. I will be talking to my doctor to see if there are other options or if the benefits outweigh the negatives."


"I've came to my end of my first month on this, I started taking it to help reglate my period. It has helped do that! But the Anxitey and depression has been on high, I get crazy moods where I can't stand anyone & I don't want to be around anyone. I feel more bloded since taking them."


"Slight improvement in mood, yet still witness episodes of bipolarity/depression, sometimes lasting more than 24 hrs in duration (previously these episodes could last a week or more) not so down and out all the time, negative effect on sexual 'drive', no real urge to even engage with the opposite sex, let alone participate in sexual activity"


"Brain chemicals became imbalanced due to Lyme Disease, HHV6 & Epstein Barr virus.  As part of my treatment, I was prescribed Zoloft.  It's been very effective in regulating mood and depression symptoms. The few times I have tried going without it for a few weeks (under doctors supervision, of course) the depression and mood symptoms returned."


"This lasts all day; I'm a fast drug metabolizer, so I take 150mg in the am and 150mg in the pm.

There isn't a come down, like from stimulants.

It helped my thoughts to come back to a normal pace and stay on-topic. Helped energy levels. Didn't help my ability to pay attention to details. Still spaced out when people were talking to me. BUT it helped me be more present and actually remember to do things. No more losing my keys/phone/shoes/mind every day, or struggling to do simple tasks. Added Adderral for the spaciness. Note that it may counteract/mute the effect of most stims, so your doctor may suggest you adjust your dosage. Because of they way they interact, it actually makes my adderral last longer, and there's zero crash from it."


"Male age 73. Meloxican 7.5.   I have developed a rash and itch after six days, weight gain, and decreased urinating.  The rash and itch according to the side effects description can become severe.  I am discontinuing its use."


"I was prescribed this medication initially for depression and then along with another medication for atypical depression and panic disorder.  I had to give it some stars because it did help with the anxiety.  Problem was I had no life.  No sex drive.  Emotionally flat.  Slept 12-16 hrs a day (I craved sleep all the time) and ate non stop eventually gaining 80 lbs.  Finally my husband encouraged me to go off it.  I tapered the dose and experienced brain zaps and generally weird feelings for several weeks.  "


"I've tried many different medications over the years, and Pristiq has been the only one that I can seem to tolerate. I started on sample packs at 50 mg for a few months, and it was actually working, until my doctor's office conveniently ran out. I was forced to go on Effexor, and though it may be a similar drug, it is absolutely NOT the same. I felt shaky, agitated, and suicidal thoughts also came back while on it.

Now finally back on Pristiq, and after two days, my anxiety/depression is almost completely gone. It's like some sort of "switch" went off in my brain. I don't feel desperate and I'm not texting someone 20 thousand times per day because I feel so suicidal and needy. I am a trashy mess without this drug."


"I've been smoking for 50 years and was up to 2.5 packs a day, it was time to try to do something about trying to stop or slow down. I looked at chantix on the internet and the side effects scared me. I talked to a few people and they said it worked to help them cut down but they didn't stay on it because they had nightmares. I decided I would give a try so called doctor and received a prescription. Followed directions and it was probably one of the best things I did in my life. After one month I stopped smoking  completely and have not had one in 6 months. I staying on chantix for 3 months never had any side effects for myself. I just want to say thank you for chantix you probably gave me a longer life and I feel so much better."


"BPH, 2 acute urinary retention episodes in less than a month. Started with Avodart (0.5 mg) daily (in the morning) and Rapaflo (4 mg, before going to sleep).  This combination seems to be working for me after 3 weeks (no waking up at night to pee, no urgency). Avodart shrinks the prostate (it may take up to 6 month to see improvement) and Rapaflo relaxes  the prostate gland and the bladder's neck to make it easy to urinate.  Rapaflo also gives me very strong erections (not sure why) and I do have retro ejaculation but I prefer that to the inconvenience  of having a catheter in which can also cause UTI.

Every man's prostate is different. Just keep trying to find the right pill for you."


"I started using this topical medicine a few weeks ago. Within the first 7-14 days, my skin was a bit dry, and peeled a little bit. This is just the medicine beginning to work, and exfoliating any dead skin cells. However, after about 2-3 weeks, I started to see a huge improvement in my skin. Before using, I had moderate acne, and now I would classify it as light. Make sure you use this medicine at night, and wash it off in the morning. Also, after you put the medicine on your face at night, put a moisturizer on your face (preferably Cetaphil or CeraVe). During the day, do not expose yourself to prolonged sunshine as the affected areas will get red and feel greasy (not a pleasant look and feeling). This is a great medicine, but give it time."


"I am currently 25 weeks pregnant and have had bad nausea/morning sickness since week 5. This medicine has been wonderful. There are times where I still feel sick, but it's bearable and I don't throw up. I've been taking it so long now that the sleepiness it causes doesn't affect me anymore. However, the constipation from it has been a downer."


"My husband and I both love Exubera.  It gave him more control and gave him back his dignity.  He is needle phobic and I had to give him his insulin shots.  This also limited my freedom as I had to be there twice a day to administer the shot.  So no overnight visits to my Mom unless he went too.  With Exubera, diet and exercise, he was able to completely eliminate insulin shots.  He also said that the shots were very painful for him and his skin became very sensitive and bruised."


"I have been on prozac 10mg for 6 days and no change. When will I feel better?"


"It's not a bad medicine; works wonderfully for many others, but not so much for me. Effexor XR gave me some energy and got rid of my insomnia. That's about it. I think if I was on another medication, I would have more energy than Effexor has to offer. It worked better the third and forth week of taking it."


"For the first few months, the medication was very successful in terms of giving me the energy and "drive" to get out of bed and do something with my day. However, there are sexual side effects as climax became near impossible.

This wears off with time, both the energy and the sexual side effects. After my body became accustomed to the medication, I lost the extra energy and I became sexually "functional" again.

After approximately 6 months, my depression returned and was accompanied by severe anxiety, a condition I had never dealt with before.

I've since stopped taking Prozac, and noticed significant improvements in my overall life. My experience with Prozac was that it's good in the short term, but not for the long haul."


"I am a 34 year old male and have been dealing with fibromyalgia and arthritis for 6 years now. I've taken just about every kind of pain killer out there and Percocet is the best. I feel as if I can do normal things and be more involved with my family and friends. I was suicidal, the pain and isolation was so depressing. Since being put on this I feel normal again. I'm lucky I guess because I haven't had any ill effects. I do recommend drinking lots of water to continually flush your kidneys and liver. I've been on Percocet for awhile and have had them tested and haven't had any sign of trouble. You really don't know how great pain free living is until you experience months or years of chronic pain."


"Helped somewhat with ruination, however sexual ejaculation got crazy and erection was short lived, even with Viagra.  Dizziness is a very big problem, especially when golfing.  Had a rash this morning just under my pectoral muscles, itching.  I have been taking this med about 4-5 weeks.  Call in to the Doc now, waiting....."


"I have tried a variety of medications for ADD; including Ritalin, Adderall, Adderall XR, Dexedrine, and Strattera. Each has benefits along with side effects.

After several years medicating with central nervous system stimulants (CNS) I  switched to Strattera. I found the medication took a few weeks to take effect, and tended to cause constipation. I also found my psychological state was less effective if I became dehydrated.

To counter the side effects I added All-Bran into my diet twice a week, and drank more liquids. The big benefit for myself was I could enjoy reading books again, which I could not on the CNS stimulants."


"I had decreased libido, problems with ejaculation, depression, thoughts of harming myself, thoughts of suicide, inability to think clearly or rationally, diarrhea, and upset stomach."


"I've been on the shot for about 3 years now. ONLY thing that sucked was in the beginning I had abnormal bleeding and spotting that stopped after the second shot and I haven't had a period since. I take a daily multi vitamin to reduce the risk of hair loss and bone weakness. No weight gain at all."


"I have used Xanax for the past 15 years for moderate to severe panic and or anxiety attacks. Were it not for this drug, I am not sure what I would have done. It was and still is a God send. I only use it as needed as opposed to daily use. Two downsides are that it makes me drowsy and if I drink alcohol when I have taken it, I get very testy.  Don't drink and drive and don't drive while on Xanax."


"I had been on clonazepam 1mg twice a day, my new doctor doesn't like this medication and decided to switch me to 100mg Lamotrigine. I still have anxiety and horrible night sweats. I mean I SOAK the bed every night (not hormones, they checked my level a week ago because I had to have my uterus and cervix removed 3 years ago, but still have my ovaries). This is the only change in medication and the sweats are unbearable for myself and my husband. Going back to demand my old medicines back. I am glad this works for most. I don't see this listed as a side effect for anyone else, so I am confused."


"I was diagnosed with pediatric migraines when I was 3 months old. After that I literally had a migraine every 3 months like clockwork for almost 23 years. I got so used to my "every 3 months cycle" that when I knew it was time for it to come around, I would actually warn school and work that I'd be needing at least 3 to 5 days off. I literally don't know anyone who gets them as bad as I do, I vomit and I'm extremely sensitive to light and sound and I literally can't get out of bed for 3 to 5 days. They've caused me several jobs and several missed days of school. I've been prescribed over 20 different medications trying to find that worked but nothing ever did. Then I had a friend show me Clonazepam and ever since then, been migraine free!"


"I have been prescribed Zyprexa 10mg just two days ago. It was prescribed for insomnia and an extra medication for my depression. I have not slept as well as I was told I would. I have had major restlessness in my legs and arms to where I haven't slept well at all. I have felt very drowsy during the day. I have also tried Ambein which also gave me restlessness in my legs. Not sure if this is right one for me either. Maybe I just need more time? I have noticed I am eating more throughout the day. Not worried about that so much since I need to put on some weight."


"I thought it would be best to wait a few months to write a review- I got the paragard 5 months ago now and as everyone says it was pretty painful getting it inserted but nothing unbearable. Took paracetamol afterwards and hot water bottle and was back to completely normal at the gym 2 days later. I have had every type of contraception under the sun and none have agreed with me- weight gain, mood swings etc. I have also had terrible cramping previous to getting the paragard, I would be in bed for 2 days so they really tried to sway me against the copper iud as it usually makes periods sorer and heavier- unbelievably it has taken my cramps almost completely away. I wish I had got this 5 years ago honestly. Really recommend!"


"After almost being scared away from this IUD, I realize that each individual was in different age groups and may or may have not had children. I am a 45, 4 kids last one is 2.  I cannot take regular birth control as it is a depressant for me. After reading several blogs, reviews and Facebook.  I almost cancelled.  My final research from a natural doctor explained a lot. So I suggest that you find a naturalist and read articles based on their finding about this specific IUD. My appointment was done with my doctor and a sonogram technician she was able to implant the IUD while fully being able to see inside of cervix I had mild cramping and went home and had a mild. There have been no side effects I couldn't be happier highly suggest 10yr 99% guarantee. No your body and what you do to it you should be fully satisfied!"


"This has by far been the worst birth control I have ever had. I have a constant headache almost daily ever since I started taking it. My breasts reduced in size, I have gained massive amounts of weight. And it makes you angrier than ever."


"I have been on regular Ambien 10mg since 2007. I have major insomnia and have tried alternatives and even quit drinking caffeine and limit sugar to no avail. I talked to my doctor yesterday and decided to try the CR because I just couldn't stay asleep. After 3-4 hours I was wide awake. Well last night I had the most vivid dreams and still groggy this morning. It definitely helped me fall back asleep. (I pee a lot lol) I am glad I waited until the weekend to see how it would affect me. I took it at 8:30p and it's almost 9a and I feel slightly hungover. I'm going to try it again tonight, but sleeping through the night might not be worth it. I can't believe some reviews say it's not affective because it immediately made me sleepy!"


"I was on mirena for 3 1/2 yrs, mirena was ok for me in the beginning, however I started realizing I gained a lot of weight I mean ALOT from 120 to 160lbs, I also had no sex drive at all I literally didn't want anything at all with my husband, to the point that it was more of a duty than a pleasant experience for me. I decided to switch birth controls, I overall didn't mind the iud's , I got the paraguard on 02-29-2016 , I noticed spotting for the first 3 days then I was ok. It stopped. One week no bleeding no cramping nothing I was feeling normal again. I started my period on March 14th and is already March 21st and I am still with my period. I think is normal due to me not having a period for 3 1/2 yrs . sex drive coming back so I'm happy :-)"


"I've only been on this for about a week and I have already gained 7 pounds! My acne started to clear up and then today all of a sudden my face broke out in several huge pimples. I'm more tired than usual and get severe cramps on and off. I think I might be going back to the doctors soon and seeing what else I can take."


"Working much better than Lithium, for Bipolar Disorder. Lithium caused slurred speech and made me feel sluggish and foggy. Doing much better except for anxiety which is still the same."


"Was sick of being sick. Reglan worked fast. Wish I had it sooner."


"I've been on it for about 6 weeks and it has been making my acne much worse. I initially went on it for cystic acne that was on my face in a select few spots, but now I am having more cystic acne and spots all over my face. There is redness underneath my skin where there was never a problem and there is a lot of scarring. I am having the worst breakout of my life and am worried I will look hideous or have a full face of make up on my 21st birthday in a couple of weeks. I keep seeing people around my college with beautiful skin and it makes me feel even worse about myself. I actually just emailed my doctor to see if I can stop taking it because it is killing my self confidence and is making my issue much much worse."


"I would get a urinary tract infection when I had sex.  To control the situation my doctor prescribed SMZ-TMP DS.  I took one or 2 a day for years.  As long as I took the pills I was not bothered with a UTI.  Miss a day or 2, and UTI.  Worked wonderful. "


"10 years of being babyproof! A+"


"I was diagnosed 2 years ago with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.  I have had chemo and radiation and I am doing very well.  When first diagnosed I was on Creon I had no side effects but wanted something a little less expensive, so my Oncologist suggested I try Zenpep.  It works great, as long as I don't forget and skip a dose, when I skip a dose all my symptoms come roaring back, gas, pain, cramps and loose bowls."


"New to Contrave.  Past my first week, lost 2 lbs.  I did not change my eating habits but was very sleepy.  I can also say I love to drink wine (probably why the weight) and I tried it during week one and the next day had a headache so bad I thought my brain would explode.  Therefore guess what....I am not drinking wine.  It wasn't even hard to quit.  I am in week 2 and increased dosage.  Next warning high fatty foods.  I had a McDonalds cheeseburger and yes in fifteen minutes was in the bathroom wishing for death.  Again guess what no more fatty foods and again not hard to give up.  Its like you think about it but then go eh...nahhh not right now.  I think that makes you feel like you can have it later but you never actually do."


"Gained over 10lb in two months even though I had no weight gain on the usual pill. I was going to the gym most days and whenever I ate I could never feel full. As soon as I came off the implant I lost 4lb within a couple of weeks. It has been harder to lose the weight alone and I maintained the same weight for over three months before losing some more. It was impossible to stay on this implant without gaining weight."


"Had the shot once, no bleeding the first two months then the third month a four week long period. Didn't go back (due for another shot May third) and I've pretty much been bleeding/spotting the whole time. April-September and still going strong."


"Wow...too bad that I didn't know anything about this awesome medicine when I lost my brother to pain killers and sleeping pills but I'm sure that he's looking down on all of us and he can rest in peace because we all made a decision not to be visiting him any time soon thanks to a new hope of a beautiful life I once had. I felt my brothers pain, it was not easy. We were all feeling his pain but now finally we are free. "


"I've been on Contrave for four weeks now and I'm really starting to see the weight loss. I too experienced the nausea, but it was only after the dosage was upped and only for a day or so. Not only does it make me not snack, but I've noticed I'm starting to get less interested in food in general (yes, I'm still eating plenty). One thing for sure, you do still have to stay on a diet while on Contrave."


"I had some very tight, non-spasming, muscles in my back.  Acute myo-fasciatis or something like that.  For some reason, my doctor prescribed Flexeril, Vicodin 5/500 and 800 mg Ibuprofen.  I didn't like the idea of taking Ibuprofen with acetaminophen, so I just used the Flexeril and Vicodin.  It worked very well, but I couldn't do anything but turn into a pile on the couch when taking both."


"I used this pill during my teens and it caused irritability and heavy mood swings. Perhaps it was just teen angst but I tried microgynon recently, which uses the same hormones just different levels, and experienced similar mood swings and depression."


"I've been on Seasonique for 3 weeks now. I switched because the 4 period a year thing got me interested. I've notice weight gain (I've been eating the same), more acne (I drink lots of water) and I've been way more emotional since I have been in a long time. I'll be calling this week to switch back to my old pill!"


"I have used the 1 day cream as well as this ovule once before. The cream I always used at night a pad to catch any unwanted messes. It was just a mess but instant relief. The first time I used the ovule it came out during a bathroom break with no relief and I needed another trip to the store to get the cream. This time I tried the ovule once again planning use it before bed. Well, when I was finally about to fall asleep I started to get he worst bribing sensation I have ever gotten and now I am trying to just get this out of me. Never again."


"Oxycontin, gave me my life back. I have taken literally every pain medicine combination known to man. This medicine is the one that has given me my ability to walk again without pain. My case was a very bad coal mining accident back in 2006. I have had five knee and leg surgeries, both shoulders reconstructed and my hips operated on three times. So I lived a very miserable life until I was put on this medicine by my family doctor. All the doctors at the pain clinic I was going to had me on medicines like Opana or Fentanyl and lots more."


"I had been on Remicade for many years with no side effects at all, perhaps a little tired every once in a while, but nothing serious.  My doctor and I questioned whether I had rheumatoid arthritis. Then all of a sudden the Remicade stopped working and bam I had 2 flares that were unbelievable before doc could get anything to work for me.  I was heart broken because it was such a good medicine for me."


"I have tried taking Victoza 3 times now and I get so sick (headache, nausea and vomiting) that I have to stop after 2 days each time.  I have taken a lots of different meds in my  51 year's but nothing has ever made me that sick. I was hoping to lose about 35 lbs, but I can't stand being that sick."


"I took these after I had my son in March 2016 I was losing so much hair I was going bald. These made my hair grow so fast and they tasted so good. I took them for about two months with no problems at all. My hair grew my nails were stronger a 10/10 so I decided to buy these again now September 2017 and the taste is awful. And when I take them I get nauseous right away and my head feels like it’s about to explode my stomach feels full of water or bloated it’s weird sensation. It really sucks because I was really looking forward to taking these again."


"I want to thank Commit. It was the only thing that helped me to quit smoking. I have been 2 years smoke free. So thank you for helping me."


"I have tried other pills to loose weight but nothing worked.  I was only on this for 1 month,  and using with a carb cycling diet with some exercise I lost 11 pounds. I feel as high as the clouds!  I feel great.  The only thing I can say is I had dry mouth and blurry vision for about 2 weeks but wanted to continue this as it was the only medication that made me not feel like eating everything in the house!"


"I'm 19 and have been on this birth control since I was 16. I love it so much I've never noticed any bad side effects. I have gained weight but that's probably because I've gotten older. I recently just switched to the nuvaring because I am horrible at remembering to take the pill and am more sexually active now."


"Let me start about the insertion of the IUD. It's not just a small pinch especially if your cervical is small like mine it will hurt and after the pain is terrible bad cramping . After during my six week follow up I was scared to use a tampon because I was scared it was going to touch the string . How ever sex my sex drive decreased. Before I would be crazy now I'm just okay but scared to be rough because I'm still afraid he was going to touch it . And a lot of out the blew spotting and period . The cramping pain level is 8-10 depending on you . But it's go away come back five minutes later worse than before. I do not recommend you to get it terrible . I would rather have weight gain vs periods and weeks of spotting terrible cramps ."


"This medication is awful. It rolls up every time you put it in your cheek. It literally takes hours to dissolve. One 4.2mg bunavail doesn't even come close to the equivalent of one 8mg suboxone. It's a shame that these shady pharmaceutical companies can use money to push inferior medicine through the fda and get it to addicts who can't even figure out how to take the stuff let alone use it as a replacement therapy to stay clean."


"I lost my fingernails suddenly about a year ago. I spent over half a year trying at home  remedies but nothing worked. I've been taking this medication for about 5 months now and I will tell you this - It doesn't work fast but if you stick with it the nausea and side effects will eventually die down and you will eventually start growing new nail. My two worst nails (my thumbs) are still oddly shaped, but when I look back at the photo I took the first day I realized that the nails were separating from my bail bed, I can see that I've gained back quite a bit after about 5 months. I'm not sure I will ever have my beautiful nails back, but this medication has given me hope that some day (maybe years from now) I will be back to normal."


"I have been on Adipex for one week, to lose the last 30 lbs. (I have lost 80 on my own-but plateaued forever!). In the past week I have lost 10 lbs. I am so excited to be closer to my goal.

I never feel my heart racing or shaky and I am one of the rare people that it helps relax. I have adult ADD. The first few days on the medicines I took a nap - that never happens."


"Bad bad side effects from Wellbutrin xl , major palpitations, dry dry mouth, crying, couldn't sit still, and panic . After taking for 2 weeks. Nausea is debilitating . Worse medication I have ever had , back on Paxil cr"


"I cannot recommend this medication. Yes it did prevent migraines but the side-effects far outweighed the benefit. My doctor put me on a gradual increase in dosage and I was unable to get past the first week.

After a couple of days I lost control of my own thoughts and focused on every negative I my mind could come up with.

My work was impacted. I work in an accounting office and lost my ability to count and remember the alphabet. Not to mention I would stop talking in mid-sentence quite often. I knew what I needed to say but my mouth just wouldn't do it. My short term memory was non-existent and I decided to stop taking this medication after I forgot where I was driving to on my way to work; the same place I've been to for the last 9 years."


"Works within 20 mins and lasts about 3 hours."


"I have a very bad migraine since one year .. And i went through many medication and tried heaps of tablets but non of then work .. And then finally my GP PRESCRIBED me with MAXALT and guess what! As soon as i put it in my tounge i felt the sense of releif and after half n hour my pain is totally gone ...WHAT A GREAT FEELINGS .. Just amazing .."


"Seems to be working a lot better than other muscle relaxers I've been prescribed. My doctor prescribed 500 mg tablets and to take 1-2 tablets every 8 hours as needed (PRN). I usually have to take 2 tablets in the morning, 1-2 late afternoon, and ALWAYS take 2 at bedtime or I'll be up all night in pain and constant spasms in my lower back into my buttocks. I also take a long acting narcotic and an instant release narcotic. I never experienced this type of pain until I delivered my son 4 years ago. I did receive an epidural which is the only thing I can think of that may have caused all this pain and spasms."


"If it wasnt for tramadol I don't know what I would do....It saved my life point blank"


"I have moderate to severe knee pain; awaiting  knee replacement surgery. I tried lortab 10 mgs but developed allergic reaction (itching). Md prescribed panlor ss. I never got the chance to see if it really worked because I also had a reaction to it. The only thing I can figure out is that I have developed an allergy to codeine after all these years at age 52. That is the only common ingredient that I can think of"


"I have been on this for over 18 months.

I went from stress starving myself I was so anxious and so much more to my old weight and a healthy outlook about myself and others. My dosage varied between 10mg up to 40mg during a rough stretch.

The only thing I will say is that even though it is a far-flung side effect for some, the decreased libido was the only downside for me. Mine was never hyper but it had a dull edge on it. At a lower dosage there is no loss of it but be mindful."


"The medicine worked right off the bat, after 30 minutes or so, could breathe much better, and as a smoker, helped my wheezing go away, and not as tired with more energy. NOW the BAD part. I have had a heart attack and have 3 stents. For 3 years, my bp has been perfect at 110/65 with a pulse of 58 to 65 even drinking caffiene and smoking. Since starting this, BP has increased a little, but pulse no matter what stays above 110 24/7, SO, can't take it for that reason only..."


"Sick since Thanksgiving (now Dec. 16) and finally went to immediate care clinic. Put off going to a doctor because never thought there was anything that could be done for a cough as persistent as this: wrong. Be sure to share all your medications, prescribed and natural (like sambuscus). This is helping my unproductive cough be productive, when I do cough. It does lessen its frequency. It also prevents it from turning into something worse if I had nothing and just kept coughing. Plus, coughing spreads the germs, so by lessening it you stop spreading it to others. I had no nightmares and had normal just great sleep. I do not write on these sites ever, but thought this ah-ha might help."


"I have been on this stuff for 40mg/day 4 months now and I haven't noticed any significant decrease in BP. I have to say I'm ready to get off of it. I've already gained 90 lbs, my sex drive is non-existent, I break out in hives from head-to-toe several times a week, I have constant diarrhea interspersed with prolonged bouts of constipation. I've noticed in the mirror that my one eye seems to be bigger than the other. My hair has been falling out in clumps, I have constant back and abdominal pain. I used to be 6'2" tall but now suddenly I've shrunk to 6'0". I've developed female breasts and facial acne as if I'm still 13 years old. I'm going to my doctor next week to have him put me on something else..."


"I had exactly the same experience with humira as JayAll did on April 8th 2015.Two weeks in hospital with pneumonia that spread fast,drained lung fluid,scarred lung and now copd.I had no lung problems in the past.Still on methotrexate and now on otezla flares and pain still here, but doc wants me to try it for four months"


"Used efudex for 3 weeks per derm's direction. Derm said efudex was the "gold standard" and would leave normal skin untouched. I have very fair thin skin and was left with a second degree burn, permanently reddened wherever cream was applied and acquired rosacea from the new network of blood vessels."


"I've been feeling good while on Jardiance (Diab type 2). I take 12.5 mg each night. Same as a lot of folk here, I pee much more & am thirsty more often .Dropped the weight pretty much straight away with very little effort. I was taking Diabex before this. I've got to have a glucose test in the next week so we'll see how it all goes. My son's a nursing student &t his is what he said about it:
'My understanding of it is that the glomerulus which is the filtration site in the nephron (which is the functional unit of the kidney) is only designed to filter smaller particles. Glucose however is really big and shouldn't be filtered into the nephron
That's what I was lead to believe. Not sure if that's true or not.'
I'll hit my Dr up with this."


"I have severe migraines and Percogesic over the counter helps like no prescription medicine.  I first tried this from a sample at a chemist in 1973.  I have kept it in my cabinet since. Now I cannot find it.  My bottle is out of date and am so worried. "


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I took the Prepopik for my first colonoscopy (I'm 25) and I found it to be very effective. The orange flavor was very tolerable. I had no bad cramps or terrible side effects with it, but I had taken magnesium citrate the night before and that had already cleaned me out somewhat. My only issue was I ended up so dehydrated that I showed up to my colonoscopy with a fever. Try to drink as much fluid as you can with this prep! I drank plenty, but there was more liquid coming out of me than going in. Overall, I would recommend the Prepopik. On a side note, my insurance didn't cover it, but the office I go to had it available. I recommend asking your office if they have it available if insurance won't cover it at the pharmacy."


"My  prescription was for 24 MCG twice a day. I never tried it two times in one day BC out is so unpredictable. After a few hours (or more), it gives me severe diarrhea lasting at least an hour. So I normally take it late at night so it works by the morning."


"Does the job I haven't gotten pregnant, but in the 3 months I have been taking it I have been experiencing breakout bleeding, headaches almost every morning, nausea, weight gain, and feeling overly emotional.  I'm going to find a new birth control."


"I was on this drug many years ago, and the side effects were terrible, couldn't drive, felt like a zombie, and slept most of the time. So was very reluctant to go back on it. I did give pregabalin a whirl and so far so good, I am supposed to be on 75mg 3 times a day, although due to my past experience will only take them at night so one 75mg, I am so surprised not any side effects like last time, although a weird sensation on my right cheek like a cool breeze feeling all the time, feels bizarre!"


"It took me four years to discover that Botox injections from a neurologist was the answer to my chronic neck pain which was a result of a car accident, and subsequent failed neck surgery.

No doctors that I had visited ever suggested botox shots.  All other solutions presented by my doctors did not work. That includes physical therapy, steroid shots, and a lot of different pain medications. I have found that I  need to go for a botox shot about every 3 months for pain.

The only problem is when I moved to another state, I found that there is a lack of trained doctors who do botox shots for neck pain. I now have to wait 6 months for an appointment."


"I have struggled with severe anxiety and major depression for 30 years. I have been on MANY different anxiety meds and anti depressants. The only 2 meds that helped slightly were  Paxil and Ativan for panic/anxiety. I was diagnosed with Bipolar about 5 years ago and once again tried other meds. I heard about Lamictal helping other people, so my doctor said we could try it. It has been a LIFESAVER!! I still take Paxil and Ativan, but after the first few days of taking Lamictal, it helped tremendously with my mood swings. But most important, it improved my anxiety by at least 75% if not more. It has been a Godsend for me. I take 100mg a day. Thanks."


"Hi, I have just finished my 12 weeks Harvoni treatment. I know that FDA reports not sufficient data on pregnancy in post Harvoni treatment time, but I am wondering if any of you have finished the treatment and got pregnant and had baby yet? Is there any way to check any potential post harvoni preganancy related risks? I would highly appreciate any help in this matter. I wad tested for HCV in Jan 2016, while trying to get pregnant and now would like to get back to this plan but am worried about potenial harm the drug can mean for the baby..."


"I found out I was bipolar about a month ago. The first pill my PCP gave me was Abilify. Starting on 2mg for the first 2 weeks. I didn't notice anything until maybe the third day. However the rest of that week and the following I have been on a roller coaster. I just started taking 5mg of Abilify and I notice the next day. I had the feeling of being normal again. Only side effect I've notice was when I was depressed I was depressed. Since upping the dose I feel way better."


"After taking many medications that were supposed to help with my anxiety, my doctor finally prescribed me Klonopin.  It works great, after only a few minutes I feel entirely better and it doesn't knock me out like the other medications did.  I can still function normally.  "


"I have been taking klonopin for several years.  I find it helps more than the short-term benzos like Xanax and Valium.  For one with BPD, Bipolar, and Anxiety Attacks, this pill is a godsend.  I usually do not advocate pharmaceuticals, but I have never had my anxiety quelled like klonopin does.  It is highly effective for any type of anxiety, and stops panic in its tracks after 15-20 mins of administering. This is the only pill that i'm on that I advocate.  The only warning I have is that it has high potential for dependence, and the body gets used to having it constantly.  Sometimes it requires upping the dosage.  PLEASE start on 0.5 mg.  If your dr starts you on 1mg, it will bring on extreme fatigue, and decreased motor function."


"Just started it a few days ago . I am experiencing slight difficulty in getting enough air when at rest. This began 2 days ago while still hospitalized after the insertion of a stent the DES type.."


"Im 18, and I've never been on medications before... i have performance- and social anxiety. So when i went to my doctors and asked for something to help me survive my everyday life, he recommended Atarax. But i have been taking them for 2 weeks now with no effect what so ever... granted, they are only 10 mg and small as a breadcrumb, but i was at least expecting some effect from it. The only thing i felt was nausea and dizziness.... must say im quite disappointed "


"After few years of carrying virus finally was diagnosed.

On 2015 October 9 my CD4 was 168 and VL was 61.800. After two weeks treatment on Triumeq viral load went down to 849 and CD4 increased to 270.
Side effects are:
1) Sometimes hard fall to sleep. Need to be really tired or in very good mood before sleep.
2) Feeling strange feeling in my pancreas area. Uncomfortable feeling.
3) Headaches and dizziness.
4) Skin itchy.

Having sometimes problems with red eyes especially if you do not sleep well 2 or 3 days (traveling around the world).

Waiting to do another test after 1.5 month treatment to see results."


"Opana ER was the absolute best pain medication for long term use that I have ever used.  I was on the medication for approximately 21/2 to 3 years until I developed a severe itching problem (head to soles of feet) from its use.  If that had not happened I would still be using it and be virtually pain free 24/7."


"Depression and Anxiety both run in my family and my doctor was not surprised to find out at 12 that I had inherited both. We tried everything but when I was 16 they started me on Celexa 20 and moved me up to 40mg.  I ended up going from all F's in school to honor roll, going to college and getting engaged.  At that time (age 22) I decided I was ready to come off of it. I dealt with things okay for a while, but when we decided to have a child, it hit, and it hit hard. Less than a week after my daughter was born I wanted nothing to do with her and considered giving her up for adoption. After that my fiance had me put back on Celexa, and my two month old daughter is the light of my life.  What was I thinking? Celexa saved my family."


"Have been on Geodon for a little over 2 months & I LOVE IT! It is definitely a life saver! It helps with my depression and mood swings. I take 40mg at night it helps me sleep & feel refreshed in the morning. I even started back college for Nursing. Helps me make good choices and makes me a lot more positive and energetic! I started off at 120mg at night but left me groggy & drowsy the next day until it was time for me to take it again at night so I dropped down to 40mg & it works wonders! I agree that every medicine isn't for everybody but definitely give it a try."


"I have been using this medicine for years and has worked extremely well"


"This was prescribed by my son's pediatrician for diaper rash. Let me tell you, there is nothing that soothed or cleared it faster. Took less then 24 and his rash was gone. Also used on burns...Amazing!"


"I've been on Sprintec for about 9 months now. I really recommend this oral contraceptive. Not only is it incredibly cheap, but it sort of helps me communicate with my body. Weird I know. I use to have irregular periods, now I have regular periods every month and I can tell by my body exactly when my period will come on. Periods are fair, the normal slight cramps, nothing extreme, the usual, then I'm back to to normal. My breast get larger before and during my period, again they go back to normal afterwards. No major mood swings or thoughts of suicide, no weight gain...actually this pill helps suppress my appetite, so I don't eat as much. Everyone's body is different, but I like this pill."


"This is my 1st shot but I noticed a marked improvement. From 20 attacks a day down to 6. Was scared to try this medicine because I'm allergic to a lot of medicines, food, etc. After the shot I experienced itching at injection site, sleepiness that lasted for 4 hrs. After that I felt energetic and a lessening in all over body pain. That night I slept through without any asthma attack, it appears to also be suppressing my Lupus. It is so great not to constantly have pain and an inhaler in my mouth and be able to walk more than 3 ft and stop for breath. Can't wait for my 2nd shot, I almost feel back to normal. Thank you for creating this medicine just wish it was cheaper."


"This medicine works very well for me.  I highly recommend it, as it dramatically reduces the amount of acid in my stomach after a gastric ulcer bleed, which after being repaired, I do NOT want to experience that pain again."


"I have taken just about everything on the market, with 1 week of starting Viibryd, my life was completely changed.  The best 30 days of my life, then I went from the sample pack to the prescription and it has been down hill for almost 60 days.  I have put on almost 15 lbs, the worst night terrors of my life, my sex drive in the 1st 30 days was through the roof, now nothing.  I cannot sleep, my anxiety was back and I became suicidal.  I have been off of Viibryd for 6 days, the withdrawals are rough and this is even after the step down process.  I was hoping that this would continue to be the best medication ever, but not for me.  "


"I had an umbilical hernia and severe constipation where I felt my bowels grind to a halt. At first, my family doctor and gastroenterologist recommended miralax but I had to increase the dosage to 14 tablespoons a day to deal with the pain. Linzess does not cause diarrhea for me because I take it as soon as I get up and do not eat until lunch. Bowel movements are normal and the pain is gone. The pain used to feel like my intestines were being torn apart. I thank God every day for Linzess."


"I have very severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Well after my move my panic attacks spiraled out of control to the point where I was barely sleeping at all. The doctor gave me this, and I slept like a baby, no attacks, no nausea. It's great."


"This medicine is amazing!  I was on Viibryd for 2 years and still suffered, but now I feel "normal" and am interested in life once again.  I do have nausea and have trouble falling asleep, but those are tolerable; depression is difficult to tolerate."


"Positive: I had this for about 2 years now. I'm not pregnant! My periods are lighter. I don't have to remember to take pills everyday, sometimes I forget it's in my arm. Did not hurt when it was first inserted and it took like 5 mins. Left a minor bruise but went away in no time.

Negative: Although my periods are lighter they are also longer and I hate it. Last about 2 weeks, sometimes over. Hair got thinner since I've had this and it is beyond difficult to lose weight. I'm was one of the slum girls who could eat whatever and never gain weight. I've gained 24 pounds since I've been on this and I have been dieting and exercising for the past 3 months trying to be summer ready. So far I only lost 5 pounds "


"Had sex Jan 27, condom slipped and I used spermicide, regardless I panicked and took
Pill 10hrs later. I had no symptoms of anything, no cramps or mood changes.  A week later I bled for 3 days nothing remarkable: so did my period came early; I didn't know if this was good or bad, as I had implantation bleeding with my first child. Anyway; I chalk it up to a successful EC as I started another period 36 days later (normally spot on 28 days) I took several test and worried the entire time. We have since thought of vasectomy and I am not having sex anytime soon
(Came to find CVS had a 2 pack for the same price as one at Walgreens plan b)"


"I have a bulging disc (C4) which traps a nerve leading to severe pain in my right shoulder (at worst) and a near constant tingling and semi-numbness in my left lower arm and hand (at best). I've taken Gabapentin before and had been reluctant to try them again because of the drowsiness, fatigue and general weirdness I felt the last time, but the pain got the better of me and so I capitulated. I take 1200mg 3 times a day and so far the sharp shoulder pain has gone, however the tingling has not. Apart from having great difficulty coming to full wakefulness on a morning, I feel completely hyperactive and a little manic- not a bad thing as I'm getting a lot done!"


"I am 24 and have been on the pill for 3 weeks. I have experience heavy breakthrough bleeding during week 3 with painful cramping as well. My skin has broken out substantially and have an increased need to sleep. Mood swings are minimal but are nonetheless still there. I hope this is just my body adjusting as it is my first time on the pill."


"This pill put me in pretty deep depression.  I was extremely emotional and cried about everything all the time.  I didn't gain weight, but it didn't really help with acne and it caused me to get my period about 2 times a month.  I had to stop taking it because I was so sad all the time and couldn't stand it."


"After trying several muscle relaxants, w very little success, I read a monograph from NSTA noting success in a limited study. Tried it 10mg 3x/day and it is equal to off-label benzodiazipines. NOTE: It does NOT improve pain from any underlying damage, only that directly related to the spasms!! It also improved my sleep by lessening nighttime stiffness (I also take 500mg magnesium at bedtime)
Side effects are tolerable however- Do not take with narcotics or alcohol "


"This medication has been what I consider a life saver for me.

I was very conflicted about taking it in the beginning after reading the possible side effects.

After a bit more research on my part I gave it a try. I have been on this medication for9 weeks exactly. My starting weight was 205.6 lbs today I weighed in at 177.0

Only side effect for me is the constipation about once a week or so. I take something for that and I'm fine

Feel great, sleep better than ever. I feel more upbeat, and energized without being jittery. I'm glad I decided to try this medication.

It has been a positive experience for me,

I gave myself a year to loose the weight I need to loose , but I'm halfway there and it's only been about 9 1/2 weeks!!"


"This medication was given to me for complete knee replacementpain.  It gave me no relief from the pain, so little relief I can't even say, my therapy session would put me through the roof whether I took this med 15 mins. before or 1 hour before .  It's been a horrendous experience and I will never go thru this again, even though I need a 2nd one done. I had in home therapy and the pain was horrendous all the time, these are more like sugar pills and the drs. won't give stronger because they think you'll get addicted."


"I got influenza-type A about 7 weeks ago. I started wheezing a few days into it, went to hospital & they did typical asthma protical and nothing worked. I had never had an asthma flare up before getting the flu, tho I was considered to have "mild" asthma. I was admitted to hospital. They could not stop my wheezing. I got in to see a pulminologist who said flu damaged my lung tissue. I was unable to do inhalers because of the severity of my condition. She put me on nebulized perforomist as well as nebulized pulmicort every 12 hrs. This is basically the nebulized version of Symbicort. Within just over 24 hrs my lungs were calm and quiet - it was great. I was also on 60mg pred that I was able to taper down once on this combination."


"I've taken macrobid for 15 years for recurrent UTIs.  I get UTIs about 4-6 times a year (ugh) so I've taken it a ton of times. Macrobid gets rid of my infections every single time without fail.  The only side effect I have ever noticed, which is pretty annoying, is nausea for about 2 hours after taking each pill.  Once in a blue moon I puke, but not usually.  Eating and drinking with the pill lessens the nausea but doesn't totally prevent it.

So, it does its job really well and eliminates my infections, but I do cringe when I have to take it because it sucks to endure the nausea."


"For anyone taking this or planning on taking this, DO NOT DISCONTINUE WITHOUT WEANING OFF!

That said, besides brain zap, yawning and anorgasmia over the first 3 months of treatment (18 months and counting ), Cymbalta has been a great treatment for my anxiety / depression issues. I have only experienced these side effects when changing dose or missing a dose (30mg a day, last 15 months, 60mg a day for first 3). At one point I wanted to come off it, GP guided me through a 12 week taper off course, but my 2-5 drinks a month were causing the problems I had associated with the medicine. I no longer drink, and it's all so cruisy.

I take mine 1-2 hours before 'bed time'. Works for me because I tend to sleep deeper and wake with lots of energy."


"I developed TGN in 1997.  This is not the typical TGN since it was caused by a stress ulcer about 3/4" from the left side of my mouth over the junction of three facial nerves.  About a year after the ulcer healed, the facial pain abruptly developed big time.  I was first prescribed Tegretol, but made me feel like a dope.  Trileptal was  then prescribed and I have cut it down to only 75 mg at night.  Occasionally take 150 mg Trileptol 1 X when my facial pain really tunes up.  Also rub in a little dab of Metrocream topically over that painful area that numbs my face just enough to minimize any pain.  "


"Both my husband and I are on Viibryd.  We share side effects such as gritting our teeth and having to take the medicine at the same time every day.  If he takes his even just an hour late he feels like he gets an instant high for 1-3 seconds & then its gone.  He has nightmares, where he see's things & he screams in his dreams but not truly out loud. In the first month we both experienced our limbs jerking as we tried to fall asleep. Now he hears a loud buzzing noise & then a loud bang & he wakes up with his heart racing. As I fall asleep hear a loud bang as if a gun is going off right in my ear and a horrible electric shock to my brain & wake with my heart racing.  We are seriously thinking of titrating off the medicine."


"DO NOT TAKE!!! I was only on this pill (only birth control I've ever taken) and it was awful...a period every two weeks, awful cramps and mood swings, weight gain, and to top it all off A BLOOD CLOT IN MY LUNG! I don't smoke and am not over 35 (supposedly the only things that would trigger a serious reaction) so this is all the pill. I've been off of it for months and am still having issues. I have to be on a blood thinner indefinitely and live with the constant fear of a clot reaching my heart. Please DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL."


"My Doctor put me on this Voltaren gel and now I can get a goodnights sleep , because it works so good, and I have to rate this medicine in the high 10s. All you have to do is put between 4 up to 9 gram 4 times a day and you will see just what I'm talking about."


"I started taking this last year to help with my periods. I was having severe cramps and long, heavy periods. After the first 2 months or so, my periods are lighter and shorter, and I rarely have cramps. My only complaint is when I haven't eaten recently and then take the pill I usually end up barfing in the middle of the night. Other than that, I really like this pill."


"I have taken oral contraceptives for years with no problems but decided to try nexplanon because I was living abroad without access to a pharmacy. I had almost constant bleeding but was told that sometimes that happens at the beginning and to try to tough it out and see if it would work out for me. When I finally got it removed after 8 months I had gained 25 pounds despite no changes to my eating or exercising habits. I really regret getting nexplanon and am back on the pill. My periods are slowly returning to normal and I've lost 20 pounds since it's removal 4 months ago."


"The throat pain is gone but have serious diarrhea. However have been wondering about implications in breastfeeding."


"Neupro has been a lifesaver, in combination with Mirapex. I just couldn't get the restless legs syndrome under control with medication, but Neupro immediately took care of all trace of restless legs syndrome.  I am a 60 year old female who has suffered since my teen years."


"I have severe allergies and believe that Chlor-Trimeton has saved my life several times.  I have had 10-12 life-threatening anaphylactic attacks over the last 20  years.  My attacks usually build slowly, starting with hives, then vomiting and diarrhea, then swelling of my tongue, throat and inner ears.  I have found through trial and error that if I can take a 12-hour Chlor-Trimeton in the first 2-4 minutes after the reaction starts, I can stop the reaction all together, or at least get to the hospital without having to use my Epi-pen.  I LOVE this medicine for hayfever symptoms as well.  Unfortunately, it is getting harder and harder to find the 12 hour tablets."


"I bled for 7 weeks out of 2.5 months on Previfem. I also gained 7 pounds. I'd lose half of it during the placebo week, but it came back when I started the active pills again.

I threw out my 3rd pack halfway through the active pills. It's been 4 days, and I'm 0.3 pounds short of my old, happy weight. Granted, it was probably just water weight, but my self esteem really is affected by my weight."


"I found that Xanax is the only thing that can calm my panic disorder. I take 4mg a day and I have not had an attack in about 3 months."


"The depo shot works very well in terms of pregnancy prevention but the side affects are awful. I first got the shot in November of 2014 and about two weeks after, I started bleeding and have yet to stop eight months later with the exception of a random two weeks. I also get severe cramps and mood swings and not to mention I've spent way too much money on tampons. My doctor said to give it a few months to let my body adjust but it's been a long time and I'm highly considering changing to a different form of birth control."


"I'm 16, I had Nexplanon inserted on November 6th 2015. Since then, I've been spotting every single day with only one week without spotting. I went back to my doctor on Dec 24th and she prescribed me the mini pill to help with the spotting. It did the opposite and only made me bleed more and made me very tired. I'm stopping the mini pill and giving Nexplanon one more month before I get it removed.
Other than the constant spotting, its effective in preventing pregnancy, stops period pain, and has a quick and non painful insertion."


"(UK) My 13yr old daughter (petite and very light) started getting monthly migraines 6 months ago. I also had them as a teenager and didn't want her to suffer. Went to the doctor and got these on prescription. There was a major warning on the screen "not for under 18's" so I was a little worried, but doctor gave her the dose for a younger child. Yesterday she got her usual blind spot at 7.20am. Took the tablet immediately, and by 8.50 she sat up in bed, no headache, no vomiting, migraine disappeared. She felt a bit dopey and looked a bit pale for a few hours and didn't eat much. From 12 until 9pm she performed in her music fair and concert. Unbelievable!!"


"I have been on Yasmin for 10 years, yes 10 and I am finally getting the guts to change contraception.
My periods themselves are a complete breeze, light enough, minimal cramping, but the gap between the last pill in my pack and my period actually coming is horrendous. As a teen and in my early 20s it made me really down but just for a day, one day felt like the trade-off for not getting pregnant and I accepted it, now it's crippling migraines that effect my ability to function. Along with no sex drive. Fear of pregnancy, bad doctors and lack of education kept me suffering for years. Know your body and stand your ground. It might work for some but know when it's not working for you!"


"Took a half of a pill for three days and felt like someone beat the life out of me. I could not sit, stand, breathe, talk, eat without my body in ridiculous pain. All there was left to do was sleep."


"I've written a review 2 months ago and things have changed a little. I'm 18 years old and I've been on this BC for almost 4 months. The first and second month and a half, I was experiencing bloating, nausea and pelvic cramps. I also felt a little depressed and down. I spotted in the third week of the pack and got my period on the placebo week. In my third pack, I spotted and only had my period for about 3 days when I normally have it for 5. I also had a yeast infection and a UTI 2 weeks later. Now, I'm on my third week of my fourth pack and I've been experiencing pelvic cramps for a week. I haven't spotted yet . My nipples started to feel sore too which was strange because it never happened since I started takin the birth control."


"While I'm sure this pill prevents pregnancy, I stopped taking it two days ago because a week into my first pack I started bleeding heavily. Was almost done with the 2nd week and it has yet to stop. I also developed what seems like a yeast infection but worse! I can usually treat a yeast infection in a couple days with garlic clove and plain yogurt no problem but I'm still in hell thanks to Tarina Fe."


"My experience with Latuda was not good. At 20 mg for about a month I decided it wasn't working well but my psych asked me to try upping the dose. After a couple weeks I found that it gave me akathasia, which was far worse than my bipolar. It also increased my appetite.  I am taking 20 mg Lexapro as well, which is fairly effective for me."

"second bout with shingles--this time treated with zovirax--relief within a few days"


"I have had psoriasis since I was six years old (I am 22 now). My worst area has always been my scalp and elbows, with it extending to my torso, back, and legs. Recently I have been under stress and I'm overweight so my psoriasis is the worse it has ever been. My dermatologist decided on otezla. They warn you about the most common side effects: nausea and diarrhea. I experienced these symptoms within two days of starting the medication. I will say right away it started working, clearing my scalp first (which is the first area it tends to start working on). Now I am somebody who struggles with having diarrhea and can't deal with it emotionally. I had to stop the drug after only three weeks, which sucked because it was working amazing for me."


"This works great for my daughter who would daydream and often get "stuck" in negative thought patterns like "I can't do it.""


"I was given Strattera to treat my ADD. I began taking it with a free packet that ranged from 20mg to 80mg. At about 40 mg I began to notice that I was able to concentrate better in school. When I got to 80mg I began to not daydream anymore and people found it easier to talk to me because I wouldn't be constantly jumping from subject to subject. My anxiety and sleep problem was also solved. However, after forgetting to take it one day, I got a massive headache, equal to a migraine. Besides that, I have had no other issues and it has made life much calmer and it has made my grades improve alot."


"I just started back on Topamax after being off the medication for 4 years. I suffer from cluster headaches, when a cluster starts the debilitating headaches come everyday. The last time I took Topamax it stopped the cluster within a week. I continued working up to the full dose and the side effects gradually decreased (confusion, hard to concentrate, difficulty with finding the words to express my thoughts). I found that a lower dose kept the headaches away so I dropped down for a few months then came off the drug completely. Last week a new cluster started so I am back on the Topamax and have had a couple of headache free days already. This medication works well for me at a lower dose and limits the side effects."


"As a police officer, I suffer from high amounts of stress.  Over the years it gave me anxiety.  Started with Lexapro, but it made me a zombie.  Cymbalta gave me suicidal thoughts.  Celexa worked great for 4 years.  It leveled me out and I became a much better father, husband and police officer.  After 4 years, it stopped working very quickly.  I have switched to Wellbutrin and hope it works as well as Celexa did."


"I have been on Remeron for about 2 months. It has helped a little with my depression, which is good but I am getting too many side effects. After reading all the comments I will be calling my doctor in the morning. I used to get a good nights sleep but since on Remeron I don't sleep. I am gaining weight and also having a lot of hot flashes. I don't know if it is related to this medication but since on Remeron my restless leg syndrome is back. "


"I have been using for 8 months.   All 10 nails were affected;  one of 10 nails is now fungus free. It is obvious that the amount of fungus beneath each nail varies.  I was told  it can take up to 48 months (4 years) this is encouraging. The curled great toenails no longer give me pain, as they are not as thick and  color returning to normal about 1/2 on one and 1/3 on another. Still thinkness in the nails, but it is lessening. I am glad to have found this product. Of course, I hope it won't take the four years, but if it is a success, it won't matter. NOTE: any of your shoes would have the fungus in them. If you continue to wear the same shoes, you are reinfecting yourself. I discarded mine, with the exception of the open toe sandals."


"I was put on Leostrin 24 FE to help regulate my period but to also control the bleeding. I was put on this a year ago, and it worked great, then 7 months ago, I would and would not get my period. I talked to my doctor about the problem she said it was normal. I recently started getting my period twice a month."


"I was given Talwin after having oral surgery.It worked very well."


"I've been taking Entocort for almost 3 months now.  My symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease are almost non existent.  However since taking this medicine (almost from the beginning) I now have psoriasis all over my body, including pustular psoriasis on my hands and feet, which is very painful.  I believe this medicine is causing the psoriasis, I've never had this condition before."
