"Fetzima has to be the worst drug I've ever taken for my depression. I had been on moderate doses of Prozac for 8 years prior until the drug no longer affected me beneficially. The fetzima had positive effects at first, but I think it was a placebo effect. A month into taking the drug I still felt depression and frequently spaced out/felt a mental fog. The physical symptoms also presented themselves. I began to have frequent urgencies to urinate but could not. Always a false alarm. A few week later I developed a clear discharge which I thought was the result of an STD. My results came back negative for all STDs. I have been off the drug for about two months and all side effects are no longer present."


"Although Singulair 10mg tablets work great for me on a daily, regular basis for maintenance issues with asthma, I have found that one of its side effects has appeared. At first it was not connected until recently when information came out that Singulair could cause ear infections. This particular side effect appeared about 3-4 months after starting Singulair but no connectione was made until recently after using it for two years. So be aware of side effects and keep close tabs on usage results."


"Terrible cramps on the first day of each period, my periods were heavier than ever, I bled through 4 super plus tampons a day. I had bleeding every day of the month, not spotting, BLEEDING. Just finished my 4th month and I'm done taking it. Made me super anxious"


"I had the paraguard for 1 year and 10 days it was still fully in place and I was pregnant."


"I started Cymbalta two months ago (60mg/day) for moderate depression and anxiety. It has been a roller coaster ride and I am now stepping off luckily. I have experienced many of the side effects after 3 weeks including blurred vision, tremors, itching, cold hands, night sweats, no appetite, no libido, horrible insomnia.
I begun sleeping all (days) with a detached feeling and no desire to see friends or family.
It initially helped with my depression so I was optimistic since I have never had any positive experience with any antidepressants. However, it took me into a whirlwind of nervous energy at week three, to a flat washed out two weeks ago. Two days ago I stopped cold turkey. I feel better already."


"I had little to no side effects, EXCEPT for spotting. It's terrible! I've been on this pill for 5 months now and I still spot weekly, sometimes for a few days. It has made my periods a little lighter, but nothing to celebrate. I'm really hoping to find a better pill!"


"Wasted $250. I gave it 30 days.  Side effects experienced was a slight headache only on first day and that it did not work at ALL! There should be a way to get a refund!!!! If I had the many reviews from so called "non responders" I would not have taken the $250 risk. Rip off!!!!"


"Been on this for a week now. So far my acne has cleared up. Breasts have noticeably gotten larger. Sex drive is definitely higher (and more enjoyable). Some food cravings but not larger appetite. Just want certain things. Had slight tension headaches and mild nausea first few days, however increasing my water intake helped dissipate these symptoms. Slight moodiness first few days similar to PMS but less intense. Some loose stools. On day 8 and feeling great. The body was just getting used to the new hormones. The boyfriend loves the noticeably larger breasts and increased sex drive."


"I started this Medication on October 6th 2015.  So far I have gained 2 pounds. The first week I took the one pill and everyday I was sleepy around 3pm at work. I am now taking 1am and 1pm, I have diarrhea but that's about it. My eating habits has always been irregular I do notice I don't snack in between meals. I just received my scale, I am still excited so I will check in to give an update."


"I am entering the final countdown of treatment, 10 pills to go.  Was put on the 12 week treatment after failing the triple medicine treatment 2 years ago.  Developed a rash so severe my Dr. took me off the medicines.  Harvoni has given me hope for a future without Hep C.  I have had no side effects other than a slight headache the first week. Now the wait begins to make sure the virus is eradicated after 12 weeks of treatment."


"I started taking 10mg every night but noticed a significant change in emotions. I have had depression in the past but it was never bad but I noticed that while on this drug I was severely depressed and crying everyday and having suicidal thoughts. I then looked up the side effects of this and found that those were some of them. This caused me to stop taking the medicine even though it definitely decreased the amount of migraines and headaches I've been getting."


"Been using epiduo for nearly 4 years and would highly recommend! I used to have mild/moderate acne on my forehead and started using epiduo when I was 13. Took a month or so to properly kick in but I am 17 now and apart from the odd spot I haven't had any acne since. Would definitely recommend!"


"Update from my comments in July 11.  I have since been bumped up to 10 mcg and it seems to be handling the pain very well.  I am starting to experience the patch seems to lose strength at about day 5 (that is why the Doc) bumped me up to 10 mcg.  Might have to pay another visit to see about 20 mcg.  Have most of the same symptoms as everyone else...extreme itching at sites, etc.  BUT, I am still very pleased with the results of the patch as opposed to taking multiple pills."


"Since I started this birth control I have felt off. It's the only my insurance covers now. It's fine it's job by preventing pregnancy, but the side effects aren't worth it. I'm a pretty emotional person to begin with, but since starting this, I have never wanted to cry more in my life and over the dumbest things. My anxiety has worsened, I get my period 2 times a month on this. But so far the worse has been the depression and anxiety. I am stopping it immediately."


"I've tried concerta, zoloft, ritalin and wellbutrin for ADHD.  Wellbutrin was the only medication that gave me a calm, level headed feeling that helped me control hyperactivity, impulsivity, and attention span.  I'm a 40 year old ADD'r and I'm grateful it works without the jitters of ritalin."


"I took Effexor XR 150mg for a good 10 years for depression.  Then, I switched to Zoloft due to what is considered a side-effect of Effexor:  elevated liver enzymes.  On Zoloft, I felt more anxious than I did on Effexor, but not overly so.  It was tolerable.   I continued to have same liver enzymes while on Zoloft.   It turns out the enzyme issue is not related to the medication alone, if at all.  I had a stressful life changing event and felt very anxious.  I know I felt much less anxious on Effexor so I asked to be switched back and I was.  The doctor made a general statement that he wants me on what works best for me.  However, I'm pretty sure he didn't buy my anxiety theory. "


"I was diagnosed at the age of 14 with Tourette's Syndrome, and I am now 15. Before Orap I had a severe tic to my right side that would happen usually when I was stressed, or something was out of place, but sometimes at random. Though this medicine has helped me tremendously, I can say I am much better off without it. The side effects were just too much. I became void of any energy, and would stay in bed for more than 12 hours a day. I also started to experience syncope. I decided to stop taking Orap for a couple of weeks to see if the side effects would cease. I felt mildly better, but I developed a tic similar to what you would see in a person with Tardive Dyskinesia. I'm going back to my doctor soon to discuss what has been going on."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"One of the nastiest things I've ever tasted!  Very "caustic" and a little salty.  I drank both "steps" in a single swig, then immediately brushed my teeth because of the awful after-taste.   The prep worked well, causing relentless diarrhea.   I could not even count the bowel movements I had, lasting for about 4 hours after each dose.  I'm sure I was VERY cleaned out.   Worst part of the whole experience was the severe anal burning."


"No problems with this medicine. No side effects - reduced pressure to low normal level."


"Very effective in sorting out my stomach infection, but bad headaches and it left my tongue with the most intolerable taste as if my saliva itself was toxic."


"At 96 I use it when my wife will let me, if you know what I mean! I my age I will only buy 10 pills at a time. Don't want to leave any behind when I go! Works better before a meal or early in the morning. Have had headaches and loss of vision but I'm on my last lap any how."


"It worked great. I don't get all the negative reviews. It must be from young women. I'm alot older and had a child. I inserted it all the way up there. It felt good. No itching or burning. I don't understand all the negative reviews."


"I have never had any side effects to the Mirapex but I have all of a sudden started having a gambling problem at the age of 47.  It is listed as a side effect and I wonder if it is the medicine contributing.  Requip has the same side effect listed.  I have to take it for my restless legs syndrome or I cannot sleep."


"I have found sandostatin very helpfull in treating Diarrhea due to Crohn's Disease and short Bowel Syndrome"


"I was on Microgestin for 5 months. Although it solved my original problem of severe cramping (what I thought was ovarian cysts), Microgestin had many side effects for me. I experienced nausea right before periods, depression, anxiety, and extreme mood swings. I was sleeping a lot during the day which caused me to not sleep at night. I am switching to Trinessa and hope it fixes these problems."


"Tried to make a longer post but had to cut it short. I have been on birth control since around age 21, originally for acne.  I've been on Ortho tri cyclen, Yaz, Ortho tri cyclen lo.  My doctor advised me to go back on BC for at least 3 months after returning from zika zone. I was sent Tri Lo Sprintec from my mail order pharm. NEVER AGAIN!  In no particular order, I have extreme irritability, extremely sore boobs, INSOMNIA, experienced my first panic attack, ZERO SEX DRIVE, vaginal dryness, and the worst acne i have had since age 13.  This med is NOT the same as ortho tri cyclin lo, so make sure you insist to your doctor that you do not want it. in all my years of taking BC with little side effects, this has been the worst 3 months ever."


"Have been taking Inderal LA for years for Essential Tremor.  Originally started on immedate release tablets (40mg, Twice Daily) and switched to long acting (120mg, Once Daily).  Stops tremor of hands, voice, neck.  Without taking medication, tremor can be felt through abdomen and into legs."


"I have been taking this for almost 3 months, after previously being on Complera with some possible kidney related side effects.  So far, not too much problem other than diarrhea about an hour after taking this--every day like clock work.  There were some sleep-related issues (not able to) in the first couple weeks of switching to Genvoya, but hose have gone away.  Hoping that kidney function tests will return to normal when checked in about a month.  My insurance did not cover this at all, and I had to use the Gilead co-pay program, which was relatively easy to sign up for and get started."


"I had ZERO libido, weakness, lack of enthusiasm, kind of "just existing joylessly". Tested very low to below normal Testosterone for a guy in his early 40's. After a few weeks on this, most of my symptoms are gone. Sadly, the libido has only improved a little bit. But my mood is improved & it seems like my brain works better. The most surprising effect has been a rapid increase in muscle mass and improved muscle tone. Just 30 minutes of push-ups and work with free weights a couple days a week has had amazing results. Exercise has never paid off like this.  (Maybe I've been on the low end of testosterone all my life). My only worry now is what will happen if my body compensates for the Axiron and reduces its natural T production."


"I first used this med while going through chemotherapy for cancer. It was the third or fourth medication that my oncologist prescribed after unsatisfactory results with the previous. Zofran capsules worked to control my chemotherapy-induced nausea. Most recently I had it given via IV in the ER for viral nausea. I was sent home with a prescription for Zofran ODT which seems to work even better."


"Geodon has saved my life. Completely crushes my mania. It's practically cured my irritability, paranoia, suicidal ideations and memory loss. Only side effect is slight lactation."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I've taken Pradaxa for two weeks and have seen a great reduction in the soreness in my joints and muscles vs Coumadin.  I have also seen a steady improvement in my stamina levels.  I also believe small nicks and cuts heal a little faster and bleeding is not quite as pronounced as with Coumadin when you do accidentally nick yourself.  I haven't experienced any digestive problems as listed as a side effect.  It may be too soon the pass judgment on this drug because of the short time I've taken it.

The only negative I've found so far is the expense of Pradaxa. It is SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than Coumadin and I hope the manufacturer of this drug will work to reduce the cost so more people can benefit from it."


"I started it a month and half ago and I am experiencing really bad headaches and stomach aches, but this I believe is quite normal when you start out on birth control. But one thing is my acne. (Or red spots) I had really good clear skin with an occasional breakout maybe a couple times a month, but nothing bad at all. And now that I'm taking lutera, I've formed these really itchy red spots all over my cheeks and forehead. It feels and looks like cystic acne and I hate it. I'm considering switching."


"Controls a major percentage of the burning and stinging."


"I was taking Lialda for active inflammatory bowel disease, with very good results but the insurance changed and dropped it.  I have been Colazol and others.  By and large have not had any luck with generic versions.  Do ok with Apriso but have discomfort in my lower intestines and very paste like movements.  Also flare up more often I think.  Might ask to try something else."


"I'm 24, in gradschool and I've been taking the 70mg for about four months.  At first I lost ten pounds but now have maintained my appetite.  When I don't take it I do feel an uncontrollable desire to eat a lot.  I have difficulty sleeping at night and sometimes won't fall asleep until 3 or 4 am, and I take the medicine as soon as I wake up. I think it works best a few hours after taking it. Feel no anxiety and accomplish a lot- but then wears off by the afternoon.  Also I was prescribed an anti-depressant before but I feel this somewhat takes care of that. I still prefer taking Vyvanse now but I do think I'll stop for a while after graduating because I'm not sure about the long term effects."


"I attempted suicide 23 yrs ago and I tried several medications for the first 3 or 4 yrs.  They did little to help my depression and then a psychiatrist prescribed Effexor first @ 75mg daily and then at 150mg daily.  I have used it for about 20 yrs and there have been no side effects like the others. It has truly been a life saver."


"I have severe COPD I cannot walk around. I was coughing up lungers daily but for last 2 years with this, I have had maybe 2 or 3 times. Life saver."


"I've been on this BC for 4 months now, and I LOVE it! I've tried other BCs in the past, but I have experienced no side effects on this one. I started this pull due to hormonal imbalance (abnormal periods and acne), and it has cleared up all of my problems. After being on Ortho Tri Cyclen, I was worried to try something else, because it made my blood pressure sky rocket. My doctor recommended a lower dose to see if it would not trigger high blood pressure. I have had no issues. Even if TriNessa is not for you, please try other pills and talk to your doctor. There is something out there for almost everyone!"


"I've been on this pill for 3 months. I had switched because I had been on the same pill for 6 years prior. I've always had terrible cramps, but thought that was normal and I had to deal with it. Once on this pill, not only did my cramps get even worse, my breast were so tender I could barely put a bra on. However, everybody is very different and can experience different side effects. Although I'll be switching pills again, it is worth the trial to see if it may work for you."


"I am now on my 3rd month of Adipex. I started June at 190 and currently at 166.4lb I still get the dry mouth and had two episodes of getting blurred vision, clammy feeling and passing out and than throw up. Well today I figured out the common factor of each time that happened. I had one alcoholic beverage each of those days. So lesson learned even 1 little drink with this medication can cause major side effects. Other than that I have been totally fine. So I chalked it up to human error!!! Hoping to keep the weight off when my 3 months are up. Well check back on my last day for final results of 3 months."


"I started this medicine not too long ago and love it. I have been on many other medicines over the years without good results. The one thing I would like to say to others who have written comments here is, do not say you would not recommend this to someone because it doesn't work for you. That is the reason there are different medications, and just because it doesn't work for you, it is ridiculous for you to say you wouldn't recommend others take it."


"Just got back in the pill as of 6/11/15 really suppressed my appetite and boosted my energy. But I just wanted to give y'all a heads up. I paid $12 for my prescription by using a coupon"


"I have struggled with acne for so long I started getting it in the 6th grade I got cystic acne in 8th grade and it was horrible because I went to a kindergarten through 8th grade school every day a little kid would say something about it like "Oh my God what happened to your face" "Ew what's on your face" I was so embarrassed  and I had tried almost every acne medication out there. I never wanted to try Accutane because I was scared of all the side effects but it was worth it. I'm a sophomore in high school now and my skin is completely clear and the only side effect I noticed were that my lips got badly dried out but it wasn't a huge problem."


"I took Pristiq for 6 years for depression, PTSD and anxiety but wasn't getting results anymore. My Dr. Switched me to Fetzima but I had an allergic reaction.  Ultimately I ended up on Brintellix. I started on 5mg and am currently on 10mg. Although the medicine works, the GI side effects are almost intolerable. I tried bumping up to 20mg and would vomit within an hr. The current 10mg. dose causes nausea, increased acid reflux, constipation, gas and bloating. Considering switching."


"I was prescribed 500mg 2 tablets daily for 3 days. The first day it gave me the worst headache ever and I actually walked out on my GED test because I got so dizzy and sick that I had to vomit and I went home and vomited about 3 more times. That was later in the evening. The second day I had a slight headache and later towards the evening (about the same time) I started getting sick to my stomach again. I have yet to go the last day, but I guess I can handle just 1 more day as long as it gets rid of the problem it was prescribed for. This pill works but the side effects are horrible for me. "


"My skin peeled severely for about 3 weeks and I went through a lot of itching and burning. The acne cream is meant for small pimples not if you have many breakouts all over your face. The process takes a long time 3  months and your face hurts almost every day. But once those 3 months pass your face looks great."


"I was prescribed this medication after struggling to stay sober. It's very hard to put my finger on exactly how it works, or how it makes me "feel" but the best I can do is to say that I feel as normal as ever, minus the cravings for alcohol! I no longer feel compelled to reach for alcohol, It just doesn't enter my mind anywhere as much. I am taking this as part of a comprehensive program (AA, individual therapy, medication management from a psychiatrist who understands addiction, etc.).

It took a good 5 weeks for it to kick in for me but when it did I definitely noticed it. Home run! It's not a magic bullet but it's a BIG help for me!"


"I've been on this for almost three months at this point for my depression and anxiety. I started at 75 mg, raised to 150 mg, and then lowered back to 75 mg. While it doesn't at all touch my anxiety, I definitely feel a lot better depression-wise. My psychiatrist raised it to 150 mg in the hopes it would help my anxiety, but it didn't so we lowered it and simply added 50 mg of Seroquel XR to help the anxiety. I honestly can't say I really have any side effects. Perhaps I have minor night sweats at times but if there are any side effects I don't really notice them, and I feel satisfied using this for my depression."


"This is an excellent pill. I started on this pill about 8 months ago to prevent getting pregnant. Before this I was on Yasmin, which was absolutely horrible as it made me extremely nauseous, tired, and gave me worse cramps with my period than I had before with a normal period. When I switched to Loestrin 24 Fe, I have had no side effects whatsoever. My periods are very light and short. The only reason I won't give it a 10 rating is because it sometimes makes me miss my period, which is kind of stressful. But it is effective and it has worked for me. I also did not gain any weight, instead I lost some. I went down from 103 pounds to 100."


"After several stressful life events I developed an anxiety disorder which quickly evolved into depression. Originally I started on Citalopram which wasn't great, only reduced anxiety by 10% at most, pumped Citalopram up to 30mg/ day, no great improvement. Saw a psychiatrist (who worked with me to start the medication merry-go-round) and started Escitalopram (Lexapro). Lexapro had much the same effect as the Celexa but the mood improved a little.
We raised Lexapro from 20-30mg/ day and the anxiety MELTED away, the effect was very pronounced, not totally stress free but no panic attacks and no ever constant anxiety. Tiredness was an issue so we've added 5mg/day Edronax (NRI) which has been excellent. Find what works for you - be strong."


"I was just prescribed clonazepam for moderate anxiety, and it's working well for me compared to other anti-anxiety medications I've tried. Lorazepam was great for sudden panic attacks but it made me sleepy and clumsy, and didn't last long enough and had too many side effects for general day-to-day nervousness. Same with Xanax, and even Xanax XR. Clonazepam is great because I can take it in the morning, and have a very steady, reliable feeling of calmness for hours. Sometimes I'll take a second dose in the afternoon but not always. The only downside to this medicine is that it doesn't work as fast as Xanax or lorazepam, but for persistent feelings of worry and anxiety throughout the day, this medicine does wonders."


"Take 50mg at bedtime and rest well for a couple of hours then I

I awake and have a bad time trying to get back to sleep. I sleep about an hour and go through the same thing again. I finally get back to sleep a couple hours later and get a couple more hours of sleep before awakening for

the day."


"I have been on this pill for over 20yrs. It's great. Never had any side effects or issues. Works perfectly. I take it continuously... No periods yupeee!!!"


"I have been on this almost 4 years, but I do not remember any side effects when I switched over from a pill. I have had acne since I was 12 but now I get maybe one pimple when I'm on my off week. I have not experienced weight gain that I attribute to the patch. My main complaint is my libido does not exist anymore and sometimes I get moody, but I feel like that is normal for women. I personally have had a great experience with it and am thankful that it has been free for me! The application area is itchy sometimes but it's not a huge inconvenience."


"My doctor prescribed 37.5 mg to me.  I took one at 3:00p.m. and by 7:00p.m. I was feeling dizzy and nauseous.  I actually was able to fall asleep but woke up several times during the night with horrible nausea, shaking, anxiety, weird dreams, and the a lot of gas!  Thank goodness I had Zofran for nausea or I would have thrown up. I also had to take an Ativan for the anxiety and Imodium for diarrhea.  It's now 5:00p.m. the next day and I'm just now feeling better. I know others who use Effexor and love it so it does work for some....just not for me.  I called the doc and she quickly switched me to something else."


"I had the Omplanon for just over a year before I had to get it taken out. I nursed my baby for a year and at 10 months I started to spot...nothing too bad, but then it just got worse. I started what I thought was my period that lasted for 2 weeks, spotted again, and then the cycle started again. It got really annoying when I could never predict when or how bad the bleeding would be. This went on for over 3 months, the day I got it removed, the bleeding stopped immediately. The removal was bad too, my doctor had a hard time getting it out because it had "scarred in". I'm on the pill now and MUCH happier!"


"Awesome. I would recommend you try it, has helped 100%."


"I had unprotected sex twice within a couple of days from each other. I nearly maxed out the recommended 3 day window before I took My Way. Within a couple of weeks I received what would have been my period however it wasnt a full out period. I had a heavy flow for 2 days and it was nearly gone after that. I thought it had worked but lately I've been nervously awaiting my next period to come. Still questioning the pills effectiveness I decided to go ahead and take a pregnancy test. Turns out I won't be a mother after all! My experience with Plan B and My Way were totally different. Between the two I had a more nerve wrecking experience this time around. Next time, save yourself the headache and wrap it up. Remember, it is not birth control."


"I have moderate-to-severe Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). I take 1 or 1.5 mg of REQUIP nightly. It is 100% effective in eliminating all symptoms of RLS. I have no side-effects. It has been a miracle drug for me. I also want to say Mirapex (pramipexole) was also 100% effective for me, with no side-effects."


"Worked both times I took it, no side effects, period came right on time. DO NOT STRESS!"


"I have suffered from daily migraines for over 20 years. Have tried many medicines through the years and this has really decreased the number I have. Went from daily to once every couple of weeks or so. I take 4 mg at bedtime every night and immitrex when I feel one coming on."


"Prior to starting med school, I was having numerous panic attacks. Over time they intensified, getting worse by the day.  I seriously thought that the social life was just done for me. I used to try and stay close to hospitals in case something bad happened to me. I worried excessively about my health (in which I'm completely healthy). I constantly went to emergency rooms to see doctors for having panic aftacks (heart beating fast, shaking, feeling of "lost in the world" and scared). I tried so many anti depressants and anti anxiety meds. They either made me too sleepy, headaches, or didn't work at all. ATIVAN has been EXCELLENT! No Side effects ! Works perfect! Psych docs hate the drug! But it works!"


"As far as birth control effectiveness goes, it does great. Never had any issues with that. However, the mood swings/anxiety/depression were TERRIBLE. And they've only gotten worse since I've gotten off of it. It's enough that it's severely effecting my outlook on life and my relationships with those around me. I've recently become active and notice it's easier for me to get hurt than it was before. (I assume that's because of the bone density loss..) I was on this for 9 mo/3 shot cycles and I never adjusted. It may work for you, but it did not for me. I'm going to try an IUD next and hope for better results. Fingers crossed."


"I am 25 years old, 110lbs asian girl, and I had condom broke on Nov, 1st, which was on the 15th of my cycle. I had plan B the next morning 9:00am, but I was so worried because I might have already released the egg. I took the pill, no side effect at all. And I got my period on Nov, 10th. That was an unusual period, no pain and feeling at all. Then I got my second period today, Dec, 12th. I had pain and all the other reactions as my normal period. So I come here to review it: It worked for me! And I was really working hard and tried to forget about this thing to make myself calm down. So everything was fine. I want to say to all the girls visiting this web: don't panic. If plan B is the only action you can take, trust it."


"I will say that Suboxone did help me get off pain killers. I was addicted to oxy's for 3 years, taking over 25 a day. And the day I started Suboxone it helped from the start. I didn't have any withdrawals or nothing. "


"I have been on this medication for 4 months. My mood has been horrible, and I am dizzy all the time. I like having a birth control I don't have to worry about, but I think I am going to leave my husband or do something rash if I don't get off this thing. My back also aches constantly since having this put in."


"Had unprotected sex stupidly one night with my boyfriend. Less than 9 hrs later I went to the local pharmacy to obtain the Plan B morning after pill. Took it accordingly, with no side effects and patiently waited for my period. My period never did come, and I ended up pregnant. At 12 weeks I ended up having a miscarriage, but I certainly learned my lesson. Use protection always ladies, sometimes these things don't work!"


"I only took one/half a pill had a terrible reaction, severe nerve pain in both forearms, weakness all over went to ER in hospital for 3 days.  Now have loss of sensation in my skin on my left side and sciatic nerve pain plus burning all the way down my leg and foot on my left side.  I have had MRI's, pain blocks, CT Scans been to Orthopedic, Neuro Surgeons, Neurologist, etc. with no relief I am in pain everyday of my life thanks to this medicine. I could walk 3 miles 1 year ago and now I cannot walk one block with out extreme pain!"


"I was initially given 75mg twice a day for a seizure related toa brain tumor. The tumor was removed. I started radiation and chemo 1 month later on the same dose for another month. I went to a neurologist because I was told he would prescribe any Meds for anti seizure. Well he doubled the dose for 2 weeks then tripled it. Now I'm totally useless. They won't tell me why they tripled the dose only that I COULD have another seizure and that doctor was responsible. I'm not understanding why, if I had absolutely no symptoms why he would do this"


"Condom broke and we didn't notice until after he finished. it was one of my most fertile days so I was scared because I read a bunch of things about this pill not working during ovulation but I got my period right on time and I had no side effects so if you're worried you shouldn't be. everything will be fine. this pill really does work"


"Basically, all the preps taste bad unless you get the Miralax and mix with Gatorade.  BUT this is very low volume.  I have to use 3 different meds to prep with over 4 days as I have a VERY slow colon.  This stuff tastes way better than the mag citrate I have to take tomorrow and for 2 days after that.  Mag Citrate (IMO) is way more salty.  Took first dose tonite and was going in 30 minutes.  Have been going intermittently for about an hour and 10 minutes.  Stopped long enough to go and get a banana popsicle and orange Gatorade.  Think about it....this is nothing to deal with in comparison to the cancer treatment you might have to have.....the benefits definitely outweigh the negatives!"


"Has left me with a persistent cough."


"I have had trouble with cramping in my stomach and having the urge to use the restroom 5 times a day sometimes diarrhea and sometimes nothing . It was getting to the point where when I would lay down at night, my stomach would start cramping. I eventually had gotten under the grips of anxiety I figured I was WAY too young to have all these complications (I am 19 yrs. old.) so I went to the doctor and told him about my anxiety, stomach cramps, etc. He prescribed me Zoloft and Ativan. They didn't help at all and I finally hit rock bottom. I went back to the doctor and he prescribed me Bentyl. This drug is a miracle. I finally feel like I can live and breathe again! I don't have the worries like I had before. THANK YOU BENTYL!!!!!"


"I take it at night in order to sleep because of a bad insomnia side effect from a MAOI. But now, if I miss just one night of the med, I wake up with paralyzing anxiety - chest tightness and heart palpitations. This drug does its job most of the time but it creates physical and psychological dependency and an AM hangover. I am looking to wean off of this soon once my new psychiatrist introduces other med changes. I see other users below saying they cut them in half - my psychiatrist said that is dangerous because of the XR properties. That is why the XR pills are not scored. I repeat - regular use of this med creates dependency."


"I have been on Epiduo for about 3 weeks and it seems like every time I apply the gel I turn red and breakout more. Then it's accompanied by dry flaky skin. I think I'm going to stop the use of the Epiduo gel."


"This medication did not clear up my acne until about the 3rd month using it.  But into the 4th month of use, I developed a really bad sore on my tongue.  One of the rare side effects of this medicine is mouth sores and I was the unfortunate one to experience it. "


"I have spondylosis of the whole spine and lumbar degeneration. I've been on Lyrica for a few months 75mg 3 times a day. It helps my range of motion at my knees, helps to walk up stairs, and also no pain when push for bowl movement."


"This seems to help my pain, but I find the odor a deterrent to using it regularly. I am allergic to most fragrances, and this is no exception. Why do they add fragrance when it is a common issue for people with allergies?"


"I took this pill for a long time without facing any psychological issues. I had no weight loss or gain. no acne. This pill is great in the fact that it does not have a warning for blood clots/DVT/PE since there is no estrogen. However, the downsides to it, for me, were that it did not suppress my ovaries enough and I had 2 periods a month. Also, It caused my ovaries to have a lot of painful ruptured cysts that led me to hospital stays they were so bad. My GYN made me switch birth control to one with low estrogen in order to better suppress the ovaries."


"For 5 years I had severe constant pain from arthritis around my right collar bone pressing nerves. Along that journey, I had a nerve ablation done on my C3-C4-C5 vertebrae that helped a pinched nerve there.   Finally found a pain specialist who put me on Gabapentin   Nortriptyline (usually for depression). Gabapentin alone did nothing.  He convinced me the 25mg Nortriptyline is a tiny dose but works great with the Gabapentin.  He was right.  Immediate relieve.  After surprise surgery for a perforated sm intestine, had to hold off all Rx's while in the hospital. Then started lightening bolts of Siatica nerve pain down right leg. EGAD.  Back home, restarted Gaba and Nortrip - Siatica all better.  Wow!"


"I am 41, and take a daily antidepressant. My doctor attributed my ED to the medication. I had a hard time getting erections and maintaining them when I could get them. After taking Cialis a couple of times, I am in heaven. I can get erections ever time and I can pretty much last as ling as I want. It has been a miracle drug for me and my girlfriend. I take 10-15mg a couple of hours before needing it and it works great."


"Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - always in Limbo.
Have only been on Cipralex (5mg) a few days and I already feel better. I have been an OCD sufferer for years, tried nearly all medications and only Prozac worked but the side effects made me stop. Without medicines I was getting worse and now I hope to start getting my life back. On such a low dose I have no side effects.
Hoping all you guys with OCD get better."


"It was wonderful.   I was able to enjoy my summer, run, walk with little to no pain at all.   It lasted longer than the other shots I received.   It lasted 7 months."


"Amazing effective medicaction. Works like magic. Makes me relax and happier and enhanced my sexual drive. Very safe and I LOVE IT. Overall, this medication changed my life and enhanced everything and helped me function in a very short time that I stopped taking it."


"I'm a 57 year old former sun worshipper. I'm 2 1/2 weeks into 4 weeks of treating squamous cell and basal cell carcinoma on my legs, and actinic keratosis on my face, applying fluorouracil twice per day. I'm covering the spots on my legs with micropore tape. After the fluoroucil has been on my face for 45 minutes, I cover my face with Aquaphor to ease the crusting and dryness.  I'm anxious to see the end result.

Regarding the cost...USE THOSE FREE PRESCRIPTION DISCOUNT MEDICINE CARDS!  And the cost can be different with each card. "


"I was psyching myself out reading the 'pain' stories on here. I wanted to write a positive review so others wouldn't be scared. Make sure to go to a good, experienced gynecologist. My monthly periods were more painful than insertion. It was not bad AT ALL. The worst part was the clamp to hold your cervix open. I was in and out in 30 minutes. Not bad. I did not faint, cry, scream... nothing. Anti-climactic. I am loving my Skyla. I will post again after 3 months. I had light spotting after insertion for a day or so. That's it. Good luck!"


"Like every birth control, my body had to get adjusted to it. At first, I would have irregular periods: some months no period, and some months two periods. After awhile, I barely have periods now. I still have some moodiness on my "off pills," but I always have moodiness, around my period whether I am on or off birth control. With birth control, it just helps to schedule it, so I go on my "off pills" on a friday, so the worst emotional part can occur over the weekend and this helps me not to be emotional while I'm at work or school. By the time Monday comes, I have levelled off a lot. I haven't experienced acne breakouts from it, which is a bonus. Since it has iron in it, I have had my iron levels checked while on it, and they are always good."


"I love it!  Sleep great on it... wake up feeling like I've had a good night sleep."


"First month went well. Second month I started bleeding spotting really the second week of active pills. I have now been bleeding for the last month and I'm tired. I've had all the symptoms of a period bloated, headache, tired, back pain,restless at night. I didn't have any of these problems when I was not on birth control. I really hate how this pill has made me feel as well as the all month bleeding."


"I had Liletta inserted a few days ago and the pain of the insertion was like no pain I've ever felt before, even if it did only last about five minutes. The cramps I'm having now are so INTENSE and nothing seems to alleviate them - not Advil or a heating pad. I didn't bleed at all, just a bit of liquidy discharge. Despite all of the pain and intense cramping, I'm hopeful that it'll be better than the pill."


"Was on Oxycontin 160mg every 12 hours for 4 years and had tried Opana at same dose last year WITHOUT BEING TOLD TAKE ON EMPTY STOMACH, so when my new doctor changed me at first I was scared and skeptical, however 25 days on 40mg Opana every 12 hours ON EMPTY TUMMY and I am AMAZED. I believe if we increase daytime dose a tad I will feel better than I have in 18 years, so anyone who didn't have a good experience with it needs to think if they ate with it. My doctor said if there is ANY food in your stomach the food absorbs part of it and it doesn't get in your system as well and it WILL NOT WORK FOR THE 12 HOURS IT SHOULD. I saw people making both statements so I hope this will help others."


"I had my first grand mal seizure on a boat and and then a second in the middle of class. The neurologist prescribed me 500 mgs twice a day and then eventually bumped to 750 mgs. I don't think I've had any side effects from this medication and I haven't had a seizure since I've been on it (10 months). I feel extremely terrible for everyone on this review board with these tragic stories. Yet for me I suppose my brain just accepted the chemical."


"Age 48 and have struggled with depression for years. I have no other MH disorder and had no luck with antidepressants. Prozac increased suicidal ideation and with Zoloft I felt occasional "zapping" in my brain (I have no other way to describe it, but it's happened to others). Finally decided to try Wellbutrin 150 mg QD. I'm mad at myself for not trying it sooner! Now, depressive episodes are very infrequent and last less than 30 minutes. The low is very manageable, however at times when I should be sad, it's like I can't be. I also have tons of energy, when in the past I'd struggle to get out of bed. Unfortunately I haven't had any weight loss. The down side is that I am experiencing some insomnia, but I'd rather that than the alternative."


"I usually don't give reviews but for Adipex is necessary that I share with you. I started on 3/4/14 at 215 pounds, today 4/7/14 I'm @ 198lbs. In only 33 days I've lost 17 lbs. I'm eating healthy and small portions, cause I don't get hungry.. I don't crave nor look for fast food restaurants. I've added more fruits and veggies into my menu. I'm staying away from sugar and bread. I'm thirsty all the time, water, water is my best friend. If you are reading this I was just like you 30 days ago reading and trying to find out if this would work, and my answer is "YES" it does. Just take it day by day and eat right and exercise. Will give my next update at the end of April."


"got my first cold sore in 2010. started first with a tingle, then itchy, then inflammation as the blister tried to make it to the surface.  There was a raised, circular shape where I knew the cold sore was coming. Rushed to Walmart to get abreva (back then it was still in the tube and $16) and applied it about every 2-3 hrs that day. The blister itself never actually was able to form into an unsightly sore (no scab), though I still saw the circular, raised area which took about 3-4 days to fully disappear.  Over the course of a year, I had about 3 more cold sores in the same spot, always applied abreva at the first tingle and it never surfaced.  This week got a cold sore for the first time in 7 years, put on abreva and again, never surfaced"


"I took plan b a day after sex took place. And I am pregnant two weeks later."


"I started my first pack October 1st, two mn ago. Since then I've been on my period on & off the last six of the eight weeks. Spoting on the days I were suppose to get my period but living with full blown endo all eight weeks. This by far is the worse birth control I've ever taken. Side effect out this world. First it was the cramping, then the headaches, then chronic fatigue even after food. What made it strange is the horrible mood swings making a monster. (Literaly) My emotions were gone, all I felt was anger & numbness. I had no idea it was the birth control until my OB informed me yesterday that generic brands are made in other countries, made with god-knows-what. So today was put on a name brand birth control. We shall see!"


"I started taking 5mg once a day for high blood pressure (150-95) but it had almost no effect. Since 10 days the doctor increased the dose to 10mg but still it seems it is not working as my BP has only decreased to around 145-90. However, no side effects experienced."


"I've been taking Skelaxin for my back & neck aches, hip pain, & head pain for years. It works well for my pain. Though it's expensive, so I usually break my tablets in halves in order to save."


"I started having frequent panic attacks and anxiety spikes and my doctor suggested Lexapro. I had really bad nausea and lack of appetite the first week and had to force myself to eat to ease the hunger pains. After that subsided, I had a lot of muscle tension and soreness. It felt like my whole body was vibrating as if being electrically shocked. I was fidgeting all day, sitting in unusual postures, mistyping far more than usual, and knocking things over on my desk. After four weeks the panic attacks had stopped and my anxiety had improved slightly, but the muscular side-effects had me even more worried. I called my doctor and he switched me back to Sertraline. Tapering off Lexapro made the vibration and tension go away almost immediately."


"I just finished my first pack and I love it so far. Normally I can tell the exact moment when I get my period because it is so painful. It's gotten so bad that I've been close to vomiting from the pain before. I have experienced no spotting, no reduced sex drive, or weight gain so far and the pain is gone. I love it!!"


"I've been taking Suboxone for about 5 yrs, buying them from a friend. She tends to oversell her extras, and at least a few times per year, I end up in withdrawal when I run out. I finally went to a doctor to get my own script, but since my insurance doesn't cover Suboxone, he put me on Zubsolv. So far, I feel fine. My only issue is the pill form. I was taking 4mgs of Sub a day, half of a 8mg film. Now I'm taking half of a 5.7mg Zubsolv tablet, which means cutting the tab in half. I've accidentally crushed half, and had to scoop it up & get it under my tongue, which worries me, because I'm afraid I'm losing some of it this way. The taste is actually better, like a breath mint. I miss the strips, but I'm keeping an open mind!"


"Unless you REALLY need this drug, I do not recommend it. That being said, if you are 80-100+lbs overweight, it is worth a try. It has cut my appetite/cravings for any food, not just junk. Female, 30, 5'9", starting wt 260(ish). Started Contrave approx 6 weeks ago; have had nearly every side effect: nausea, constipation, headache, dizziness, trouble sleeping, dry mouth, bad taste in mouth, and tremors. I also got two of the less common ones: tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and menstrual irregularities. Most of the side effects DO go away. I still get migraines a couple times a week/a few times a wk before this. The constipation, trouble sleeping, and tinnitus remain. I am down 16lbs in 6 wks tho. Would 2-3lbs be more if I was less constipated"


"I have been on birth control since I was 12 and am now 20. I suffer from Menorrhagia as well as various other medical conditions pertaining to my reproductive system. I have literally tried 10 birth controls; Yaz, Yasmin, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Ortho Novum, Depo Provera, etc. I have always had my period for 3  months (that being a short period for me), and this is THE ONLY birth control that has regulated me. I am so happy with this birth control and highly recommend it. There are always side effects from any type of birth control, but this one has only given me tender breasts. I can't complain too much, as the others did not work sufficiently in regulating my flow, reducing my period length, controlling my moodiness -- but this birth control did."


"My experience on this drug started well but has dropped off and I'm looking for an alternative.

The first couple of months I went from 20 mg in morning and another 20 in afternoon. I'm now at 70 and 40.

My therapist rx'd Kapvay with it to help with irritability and quick reactions to situations. While it helped the combo was making my teeth feel like razor blades and I was getting abrasions on my tongue. I dropped the Kapvay and it has helped with the teeth but I'm now dealing with several cavities to get filled.

Also having trouble issues with insomnia as I always feel like I need to be getting something done. Over the past couple of months I've probably had 5 instances in which I've gone close to 44 hours without sleep."


"I take Prevacid twice a day, and never have a problem"


"I had depressive episodes even as a teenager.  They seemed to get worse every third month.  I'd been on every known medicine for twenty years without any help.  I took Valium for panic attacks several times a day every day for twenty years.  I've been on Viibryd for five weeks and finally found help.  The only side effects have been diarrhea only in the morning the first few days and dry mouth.  I wake up feeling very good each day.  Thank you."


"I'm 39 and my last period was on 12/14/16. My cycle is usually 27 days and always on time. Had unprotected sex once this month on the 17th day of my cycle which shows 2 days after ovulation (Dec 30th 5am). He pulled out. Wasn't sure about taking a MAP but took the "my way" pill anyway on Jan 2nd (lil over 72 hrs) for my own sanity. I've been crampy, clear discharge w/white strings (sorry tmi), gassy, felt slight nausea. EP was yesterday 1/10, so i'm 1 day late. I plan on testing on 1/13. I will post results. I read that it could be up to 48-56 days before I see a period with negative tests.

Paranoid."


"I apparently have tension headaches rather than migraines,  I had headaches about twice a week for maybe 9 years.  They last up to 16 hours and usual medications usually did very little.  Started 10mg Nortriptyline, worked immediately, but faded.  Took it up to 20mg, same thing.  Went to 30mg., and it lasted a while, but then faded.  For about 7 months I only had about 2 headaches a month.  So I stopped taking it.  After a few months, started getting 4 or 5 headaches a week for the past 2 months.  Got back on Nortrip about 10 days ago at only 10mg.  No headaches until yesterday.  So as of last night I took it up to 20mg.  I didn't want to go past 30mg but may have to.  Vivid dreams that sometimes wake me, dry mouth are my side effects."


"I just recently started taking Gianvi for about a week now and I already feel some of the side effects. I'm in and out of sleep and feel nauseous in the mornings. I got my first headache and have little cramps in my lower abdomen. I don't really have a lot of bad things to say about Gianvi since I just started a week ago but I'm hoping these side effects will go away soon. "


"I have experienced no adverse effects with this pill. Have been on it for about 6 months now. No weight gain! However, the first month I was on it, I did become very hungry often, after that no problems. My boobs did get a little bigger, which is great! The price of this pill is definitely right. Don't think I will be switching anytime soon!"


"I have to say I  was somewhat relieved to see that I wasn't the only one who suffered so greatly with this drug the experience (but sad to see others suffering)   I truly thought I was dying and I kept telling myself it'll be over soon it'll be over soon the pain chills and vomiting absolute suffering was unlike anything in recent memory for me.. I'll never take this drug again and I'm afraid to take anything like it it was that severe of a reaction and this was my 4th day taking this drug the first night the cramps were pretty rough but short-lived last night I just truly never thought I was going to survive it.. It lasted about 3 hours.. Which felt like eternity.. Today I'm just so weak feeling..  it's going in the garbage $323 wasted..."


"I got Mirena today because I couldn't remember to take my daily birth control pill. I have a son now who is 3 months old and we can't have anymore for a while. But I've read several reviews and done lots of research about Mirena and I finally got it and I'm so happy. I was terrified about the insertion but it didn't even hurt at ALL. I didn't even realize the doctor had done it. I am having some very, very mild cramping but I don't even need to take anything. I would highly recommend this to anyone. Trust me the anxiety of getting it is the worst part. I'm going to love 5 years of protection without any responsibilitys."


"My lab work came back that HCV not detected after 6 months of treatment.  I believe I am cured.  Had Hep C Genotype 1a for over 35 years.  Previous treatments did not work.  Started Harvoni/Ribaviran last March for 16 weeks.  Minimal side effects compared to hair loss from previous treatments.  I could have continued taking treatment to 24 weeks but insurance would not approve it.

Glad that I am cured.  Good luck to everyone taking Harvoni."


"I am on my first pack and I have to say I am so happy I changed from Loestrin 24 (I actually still had 7 days left). I have had light spotting for the first few days and that's it. I think really sticking to the same time every day is the key to limiting side effects, like within the hour everyday for real. Some breakouts on my chest and a little on my face but that normally happens anytime. I changed pills. I think I have tried everything that is out there and this is the best."


"Aleve is great for back pain.I take one pill in the morning. And one at night before bed time.no pain at all.That's what my M.D. told me to take.thanks Aleve .great job"


"While on Bystolic my feet and arms were numb. My blood sugars became severely elevated from 112 glucose up to 249. This blood pressure pill is not a good choice for my diabetic condition. I was only on Bystolic for one week and now eight weeks later I am still suffering from foot and heel pain. However, going back on Vasotec my blood sugars have dropped back down to 112."


"I have Multiple Sclerosis, and work for my neurologist.  I have been on Gilenya for 6 months I am so thankful for a pill rather an injection.  I have had no side effects, that I can say for sure, I have had dizziness, and nausea prior to the change in medicine.  I am unsure if everyone on these disease modifying medications is aware that they do not "cure" or get rid of MS symptoms you already have.  These medications are to put the MS in a remissive state."


"I have used the patches for years after my first cruise without one. It is the ONLY thing that keeps motion or sea sickness at bay for me. My only complaint is the dry mouth while using it. My dry mouth goes way after about 24 hours."


"After first couple days, it felt as if it made a difference but that could've just been psychosomatic effects.  Basically, I haven't noticed any improvements in myself. If anything I have had a slight decrease in my mood, energy levels and overall motivation.  I will continue using the product for at least another month and in in the meantime get my levels checked to see if I'm getting any sort of benefit to using this product.  I will provide an update by next month."


"I'm thinking back to 2006 when I was first put on this drug by a doc. They promised me that it wasn't like methadone... They promised me ZERO withdrawal... "It's not addictive," the docs said. They started me out on 24 mgs a day. What a joke.
Here I sit, ELEVEN YEARS later... Still hooked on this soul stealer.
I am once again trying to stop on my own. It's been 48 hrs since my last dose of .5 mgs or maybe a bit less. Idk if I'm going to make it, but I want to. I want a chance to actually live my life. I'm 36 and I don't have any children. I wanted to have children... but felt it was irresponsible to get pregnant while hooked on subs. I hope it's not too late.
The only good thing is that it kept me off the streets"


"Second time user, first time after 3 years it started to migrate into uterus wall. Second time pain in insertion due to tilted uterus and inexperienced PA, having full body rash and hives. Think it is very effective for BC but not sure if side effects are worth it..."


"I actually came across this medication following a Google search. Asked my doctor who didn't really know about it. After 1 week, he called in a prescription for me. This is great! No side effects and in 2 weeks, lost 9 lbs! I told my friends about this. My goal is 40 lbs. Watch out next summer. Hard body coming!"


"Have taken Flexeril, then Parafon, then, bachlofen, then norflex, then robaxin, then finally My New Doctor I am seeing, asked if I had ever tried Soma 350 and I Said no, So He Put Me on the soma one tablet three times a day and one tablet every night at bed-time, and the pain in my back as seen improvement, My left Leg and My left foot, I have a sprained disc in my back plus moderate scoliosis, then he also wanted me to try the Zanaflex Capsules alternating with the soma, and between those two items, the pain that was in my back, my left leg and left foot started to feel much better even when I was a work while taking those two items alternating, a little drowsiness but not overly sleepy."


"Horrible form of birth control. Convenient yes but bled continuously while I was on it. Gave me severe depression when I have never had any depression before. Gained weight steadily with no change in diet so depo is cause. After 3 doses and no improvement in side effects I stopped this nightmare."


"I have chronic allergies (undiagnosed). I suffer from dry , red, stinging eyes and a nose that gets stuffy even with turbinate reduction surgery as well as general fatigue and low energy. Claritin helped me feel functional again and I can look people in the eye when I talk to them. Nose it a lot more clear. It is VERY important to take it for a week before it provides full relief. This did not start working for me till day 4 and now I feel great , perhaps the best ever.

I am giving it an 8 because it causes me dry mouth and my sleep is not the greatest.

The point of this review is not to fully trust all the negative reviews. Try it for yourself every day for one , maybe even 2 weeks and see how it affects you.

Best of luck."


"This was the best medicine that covered a wide variety of mental disorders. I took this pill 60mg for 6 years. I was then hospitalized on an unrelated matter and the doctor had me taken off of this, abruptly. That was the wrong thing to do, I fell into a deep depression that stayed out of control for 3 weeks. The longest 3 weeks of my life, I could not function at all. BE CAREFUL WHEN STOPPING THIS PILL!!!!!!!!!"


"They say this is supposed to take several weeks to kick in, but I noticed positive effects within 3 days of taking 20mg. Less irritable, less anxious, and feeling a bit more happy-go-lucky. I have noticed an increase in appetite, but I can't confirm if it's a side effect. I tend to eat more when I'm happier, and lose appetite when depressed."


"I had been on orsythia for over 2 years with no problem before being put on lutera, which I told was just another generic form. WRONG! Lutera has made me moody all month long, my craps are bad. I've been on lutera for about 4 or 5 months. I've talked to my pharmacist to give me something else."


"This medication relieved my pain while detoxing off of methadone (was taking it for degenerative disc). However, I did have significant side effects. The most problematic were really bad double vision and am still experiencing a foul smell (which is getting better) over time."


"I have experienced anxiety for about 16 years. It took me 12 years to find paxil and I thank God for it. I was such a mess!  Because of anxiety I developed agoraphobia couldn't get out of the house, be around people at all, consequently depression followed. My poor husband stuck with me through all of it. I have taken every antidepressant that's out there none of them worked, they made me zombie like. 3 days into paxil I came alive,  all that noise and constant fear on the back of my mind quieted down.  I could not believe it!!  I had more energy because I didn't feel emotionally and physically drained any more. I finally could be in the moment and take it all in!!! I feel like I can do anything, before paxil I felt like a constant failure."


"Let's be clear, this is a laxative, not a stool softener, if you want days of backed up stool gone then this will do the trick, yes it's painful but it gets it all out.

I take 2 after food at 00:00 then at 06:00 I'll have stomach spasms so I stick the electric blanket on and facing down on it, drink lots of water.

I usually take this the day before I know im not going out, confined to barracks. Then I'll go about 6 times and by the end it's just water yuk sorry.

I will then stick to high fiber diets and keep going each day, but there are days I'll slip up and eat things that make me constipated and so the little pill comes out again "


"Was given Levaquin for lingering lung bronchial condition. After 7 days. I was feeling 10x worse.  At first I thought I had the flu.  Headache fever achy all over no energy just weak. Then my shoulder joints started hurting so bad I could cry.  On a pain score 1-10 I was at a 15 and I've had 4 kids and rods in my back.  I contacted the Dr who told me to stop taking this Medication. That iris known for pain in joints.  Well I'm 2 weeks out. Still in pain all the way down both arms.  Sleeping on a heating pad and taking pain medication. My original complaint seems minor compared to this.  Dr says 4-6 weeks to get it out of your system.  I am Miserable. Can't lift my arms.  "


"I had the Implanon after I had my son. I was on it for 8 months and bled for 8 straight months. It wasn't break through bleeding, it was straight up heavy period for 8 months. So I was finally fed up with all the bleeding and got it removed. I guess I was the unlucky one."


"I suffer from depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I take Remeron for depression and Buspirone 15mg twice daily. I was on Xanax for 6 months but my doctor switched me to this because i will just continually need to be bumped up on the Xanax and it's not that effective in the long run, which is true. .5mgs do nothing for me anymore when they are supposed to suppress a panic attack and I really need them. The Buspirone puts up this big dam to hold back the river of emotions I have. I feel like I have emotions of steel compared to crying all the time. Part of my anxiety is racing thoughts. This helps me FOCUS. I haven't been this productive in 10 years. However this does NOTHING for panic attacks."


"Had Rotator Cuff surgery and was not advised of the cardiac side effects. Felt like a heavy weight on chest and difficulty breathing. Scary! I'm good physical and mental health with a workout routine 3 days a week.
As for the psychology effects, I'm ready to rip someone's heart out. This is a complete failure on the doctor's staff. I will definitely let him know.
Been grouchy, and irritable and very little patience. But the capper is I'm supposed to remove the block myself. Found out after surgery that I could get a script for in-home nursing care which was not offered. I'm 73 and my wife is 68."


"I have had  Hashimoto''s thyroiditis since 2003. I've been on Armour; I've been on Naturthroid and I've been on Synthroid.  it's been a struggle to keep the weight off or get any weight off.  I diet and exercise very stringently. You won't believe this:  25 mcg Synthroid and 5 mcg twice a day Lyothyroninr (Cytomel, or T-3) and the weight is practically falling off. I started on it May 13, 2016. That's 4 weeks. It started a few days ago and is I'm losing over a pound a day, sometimes 2. I wish I had known. See, my body makes antibodies to the desiccated porcine thyroid, as well as to my own. That's supposedly very rare. They were three times as high on Armour and Naturthroid as my own thyroid, and it's pretty high anyway."


"I have been on this for two days after suffering from headaches for 5 weeks  they are not working I hurt so bad the pain  doesn't stop. What can I do? Do these pills even work?"


"I've been taking Microgestin Fe 1/20 for seven months. The first week I felt nauseous and had no appetite, but that subsided. No changes in my breasts. I weighed 142 when I started taking the pill, and I now weigh 132 with zero changes in my diet (and I love junk food). I have had blackheads on my chin the entire time I've been on this pill. I wanted to take birth control to get rid of facial and body hair, but this pill has not helped in that regard. My moods felt stable for the first two months, but then I started crying at everything; happy and sad. Yesterday I realized that my moods are interfering with my relationship, so I will try to find a different pill that does not affect my emotions. This is a fairly stable pill. No extremes."


"I have taken this medication for approximately 10 years. I have discontinued use 3 times and my depression resumed each time. I believe many side effects and negative experiences could be avoided if doctors would start patients out with a smaller dose. It has been my experience that when I start with 300mgs I have migraines, nausea, dizziness and itching. I do not have this issue if I start off at 50mgs and gradually increase over 3 months to 300mgs. This medication helps me more than any other and does not make me gain weight. It also seems to slightly help with my adult ADHD, anxiety, OCD, PMS and chronic pain. "


"I have used plan B so many times (which isn't good) but my doctor stopped prescribing me birth control due to a blood clot. BUT ANYWAYS I've had unprotected sex with my SO a few days ago and I took the pill a few hours later . Immediately I got cramps and I never usually experience the symptoms ! I know I have nothing to worry about because plan B always had my back lol the most important thing is to never stress about anything plan B works!!!"


"Got the Skyla 10/1/15 and it all took 10 minutes. I had two mild cramps then one last sharp cramp(lvl 6) as insertion was happening then back to mild(lvl 2) day-long cramps along with spotting. Had cramps off and on for the next couple of days then they went away. I get PMS and very mild cramps for a bit when my period is about to start. Period lasts 4 days followed by spotting/brown discharge. So far I love everything about Skyla. I do not have any mood swings, no acne, no weight gain, same high libido I had before I was on Skyla. The only concern I have is with spotting. I've been spotting nonstop since insertion. Had only 4 clear days on 2nd week of November then back to spotting. Will give it more time and post experience soon again!"


"It is easier to use than the Testim or gel applications. No more sticky skin, no more acne on application area. Axiron does sting a little, but use deodorant before and follow directions. Not worried about sweating it off at the gym like Testim and the manufacturer is absorbing the cost for the first year."


"I've been on and off Xanax for 22 years. It's the only drug that makes me feel normal after a lifetime of anxiety and depression. It's awful that people use it recreationally and that's made it difficult to get a prescription for it because of others abuse of it. It makes me feel normal. So obviously I need it. I have nothing but good things to say about this drug. It helps me not want to freak out and shake due to anxiety. If you really need to be on it, it's amazing."


"I have been taking nortriptline for a little over a month now and have found it has helped in several areas of my life.  I have been suffering from headaches for over 10 years due to nerve trauma from a wisdom tooth extraction.  I have been on every medication under the sun and then some.  Usually strong narcotics and several at a time with no real results at all.  I have also suffered from chronic depression, anxiety and panic attacks.  I happened to see a doctor not my own who asked if I would be willing to try it.  Why not can't hurt was my thought.  I am so grateful for his suggestion, I have stopped taking the narcotics and anxiety/depression medicines. I am currently at 50mg going to start 60mg with no side effects other than dry mouth."


"I just turned 30 and had been struggling with binging for a few years. Over the last year it got totally out of control. Food consumed my life and I was easily going on 3-4,000 calorie binges every night. It was just my routine. Therapy, meditation, exercise, nothing could break the cycle. I heard about Vyvanse and talked to my doctor. Because of how rapidly I was gaining weight and how out of control I was, he happily prescribed it. Honestly it was hard at first - it made me feel sedated and tired, and I had headaches and dry mouth. But the binging was gone from day ONE. My dosage is leveled out now and my body has adjusted and I have lost 25 lbs in 6 weeks. It has changed my life for the better! I have no emotional connection to food now."


"I am taking prescription Zantac 150 and not sure if there's a difference to the over the counter one but I love this medication. I had missed a week of work from throwing up every little thing even a sip of water and would be stuck there for over 30 minutes and had previously been sick almost every morning and occasionally during the day but always felt nausea and heartburn. Have taken Zantac 150 with prescription meclizine 25 mg and was feeling better the next day. I still get sick from time to time and feel like I lose a weeks worth of food but isn't everyday and nausea and heartburn got less aggressive. Haven't had any side effects.  Totally recommend to anyone having stomach issues."


"It was horrible for me! It sank me into a VERY deep depression after being on it for a few months. I stayed in bed crying all night for no reason. I stopped taking it and the depression was gone. I would NEVER take Yaz ever again!"


"After years of experience dealing with back problems, I had assumed my knee pain was from the pain radiating  down my leg and into my knee. I was actually surprised to hear the diagnosis of  severe arthritis . My orthopedic Dr. Did all 3 Orthovisk injections in the same visit. In two weeks the improvement was remarkable! The benefits lasted through 6 to 7 months. Due to changes in insurance my cost jumped from 50$ to 650$( for Orthovisk only to be delivered to Dr office, not including actual procedure) and it's a struggle, but I can definitely say it's worth every penny!"


"I have had the implanon for a year and a half now and so far it's been great. No period at all except for a couple weeks a few months ago of random spotting. Recently though I have been experiencing horrible breast pain like you get when starting your period or when pregnant. (Never been pregnant but friends say it's similar) and it's been going on for almost 3 weeks.The only issue is every few months for about a week I get bad breast pain. This time it's longer. Anyone else have this issue?"


"I am female 65 yrs, 157 cm, 58 Kg.  A lifetime of depression and anxiety, taking 20 mg Prozac daily for 15 years seemed to help a little but panic and anxiety was same as ever, terrible.   As well, I was addicted to Zanax 5 mg per day for 14 years, which is a high dose and apparently considered by our government, a nasty drug to be restricted now.  After 2 months of taking 60 mg Prozac I am no longer needing any Zanax at all.  Weight is very stable, I am feeling normal in every way and sex with my husband every few days, is still wonderful and exciting.  No doctor ever suggested the increase in dose of Prozac to help anxiety until very recently.  That's why we need the internet."


"Started May 4th, at 165 lbs and I am 5'3 and today, May 9th i am at 158. Two pills a day, no more late night cravings, smaller portions at every meal, eating a lot of salads, not craving carbs as much or sweets. Great medicine"


"I started Copaxone a couple of months after being diagnosed. At the time of diagnosis I was just getting over a relapse that included numbness on my left side and a phantom turtle-neck feeling. I haven't had any symptoms since then and that was November 2011. I'm pleased with Copaxone this far."


"I would rate this 10 except that I have morning sickness (no jokes please) and my experience and medical advisers tell me that it's ok to eat close to when I take my pill every day but the more fat the more vivid (or disturbing) the dreams.  I have heard you are supposed to avoid grapefruit also."


"I had the paragard inserted two weeks ago. I'm 38 and have had two children. The insertion hurt , not really painful though. It took only a few moments. They gave me a pad to wear home but I never even spotted. But the cramps were pretty strong. But nothing I couldn't bare. Next day I spotted a little, just wore a panty liner. Cramps lasted three days and the sporting a week. Than I started my period. No cramps, medium to heavy flow. I wore a super tampon for about two hours between changes. Period lasted a week. Finally stopped bleeding and had sex for the first time since insertion. No pain or cramps. My bf didn't even feel the strings. So far loving it."


"I took this drug had blinding headache pain behind my muscles so week I could hardly move but the worst thing was pain in my chest and difficult  breathing rang doctor  said u may  have flu saw him next day after stopping  tacking itstill should no concern at all  just seen another doctor said she was not not not aware of such side effects told her to go on this  site I don't know how anyone with concern for there patients can prescribe this drug without  warning them first do not take if u have bad chest. at all"


"Omg, where to begin. Doc had me switch from Yasmin (on for over 15yrs) to Jolivette. I have been on it for 3 years (?). My symptoms have been: weight gain, inability to lose weight (very slow loss) despite 6 day workouts and calorie (low carb) control, hot flashes, night sweats, neck pain, headaches, low energy, terrible depression, insane hostile angry mood swings and constant irritability. I went to the doctor as I thought I might be in early menopause. A battery of tests and blood work came up empty. She dismissed that Jolivette was the cause. Finally, googled it and found countless forums of women in the same boat as me. It's been 3 weeks since I stopped the pill and most notably my moods has been so even no irritability at all!"


"Lexapro was a miracle drug for me as far as treating my severe health anxiety and PTSD.  It gave me my life back. I can truly say I was my normal self 98% of the time. However it caused me to have extreme muscle tension and headaches. I was even diagnosed with TMJ and was sleeping with a mouthguard at night. Weaning off Lexapro was horrific for me. It took a good 3 months for all the withdrawal symptoms to subside. Thankfully the headaches and stiff jaw got better as well. I'm sad I can't take Lexapro anymore. It saved my life. I'm about to start on Prozac. We'll see what happens."


"Got my Paraguard a little over a month ago.

Insertion lasted less than 30 seconds. It was mostly uncomfortable, not painful, instant cramps. Bearable with Advil.

Spotted and had cramps for a month afterwards, again bearable with Advil (and yes, I had sex, spotting wasn't heavy at all, I'm talking like the lightest panty liner ever.)

First period was light and short. It was actually better than my regular period.

No more spotting and cramps after first period.

Second period, NO CRAMPS, even lighter, even shorter.

I forget I have it.

Not pregnant. Sex is rad. No harmones. Going in for a follow up in a few weeks.

Loving life and loving my  Paraguard, I even convinced my friend to get one and get off the pill."


"I just got mine done about 3 hours ago and I did not realize how bad it actually hurt so now the cramps are really bad, overall I'm very excited because I hated the pill, it made me depressed. I've heard some horror stories about this but I hope none of it happens to me. I suggest taking ibuprofen or something before. I cried after which is common because it was very uncomfortable. I'll come back in a week and tell how I'm feeling! Glad I'm not alone"


"I have been taking the 75mg for 2 months now. I have lost 43lbs so far. I can't believe how much it helps with my hunger. Before I would be hungry all day, and I would eat all day. Now I stick with a 1000 calorie diet, and I make sure I eat breakfast, and all my meals are much smaller portions. There are even days I skip a dose, and I wouldn't even know it. I would recommend it for anyone who has fought with their weight over the years. After only 2 months I have been able to stop taking my blood pressure medicine."


"9th anniversary of 5x bypass.  Blood pressure was never high.   Altace, began with 5mg in the morning, was feeling faint every time I stood up all day.  Changed to 5mg before bed, faint if I got up to pee.  Changed to 2.5 mg in the evening, OK till last night (9 years) difference was had the flu or something similar, had a high fever, night sweats, diarrhea, got up to go to the bathroom and found myself on the bedroom floor, no damage, fell into the dirty clothes basket, so the warning about excessive sweat or any loss of fluids, is a good one."


"I absolutely freaked out TODAY when I went to get my IUD Because I read every. Single. Review on this website. Girls! Don't freak ourself out! My pain rating  was in the negatives! And it completely stopped my very heavy period in 12 hours. I know everyone's story is different but don't rely on reviews when it comes to your body :)"


"I have been taking Ambien CR for about 6 months now. I have had no side affects. I have not gotten up and got on the computer or driven to any place that I was not aware I was going. It helps me not to have nightmares. If you need something to help you sleep then take it. "


"On September 6th, 2015 I have been sober for one year.  I could not have accomplished this without Campral.  My GP, who is an American, is very surprised to find it not more widely in use in Canada.  It has saved my life - which I have stated in my previous two reports.  I am now taking Campral every one other day - one tablet in the morning - and will, with the support of my GP, continue doing that for about 3 months.  I want to be sure that I have no temptation to take a drink.  I know that there are others who have had dependency issues who feel that they can return to "controlled drinking", but that is not for me.  I know full well that one SIP of wine will take me back to where I was.  I will not tempt myself and breach my success!"


"I've always had mild asthma, but about 6 months ago, it got really bad and I was using my Ventolin like every 2 hours. Especially at night, I'd wake up almost every hour and need to have a puff of Ventolin. It was bad, I know, but I kept putting up with it. But last time I went to the doctor, I mentioned how bad it had got and she put me on another asthma medication called Symbicort. It's saved my life, makes it SO much more easy to manage. Now I never use Ventolin at all and I only have two puffs of this Symbicort at night... it's amazing. It's made my life so much easier."


"Given to me on a cruise when I had swelling in my legs which seemed to be circulation problem, not my rheumatoid arthritis. This had no effect on my swelling."


"I cannot describe how life changing this medication has been for me. I've been suffering from anxiety/depression, specifically social anxiety and low self esteem, my whole life. It was at a point where I thought it was normal to be negative, pessimistic, anxious and depressed all the time. I tried EVERYTHING including therapy, exercise, diet and an array of medicines and nothing worked. I nearly developed an addiction to Xanax just trying to combat the anxiety. Prozac, lexapro, Concerta, stratera; Nothing worked. Finally got introduced to Effexor XR. Started on 75mg for 2 months, I wasn't that satisfied. I got put on 150mg for 2 months then. CANNOT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE. I'm happy, confident and positive. AMAZING. Long may it last."


"Every doc said was IBS but a biopsy showed inflammation without being UC....I'm taking apriso and I'm so happy my life change 100%...keep fingers crossed "


"It's been about 9 months since I stopped taking Accutane. I had really bad acne on my back and chest and tried everything and Accutane was the only thing that worked. The acne on my face was pretty bad but not as bad as the other places while I was on Accutane I never got any pimples but about 2 months after I stopped, it all came back on my face. I'm considering taking it again but I experienced some memory loss, backaches, bloodshot eyes, and my lips are still always very dry. It worked amazing on my back and chest though and I haven't had a pimple there since."


"I am 49 yr old and have been wearing hearing aids for 44 yrs! (Since i was in kindergarten). Work yrs ago for some reason i developed ringing in both ears, each ear has its own tone and frequency ugh very annoying! Plenty of nights i just want to cry, tried taking Advid PM just to knock me out and tried Ambien even! I gave lipoflavonoid a try. It helps but not 100%. What i didnt realize just how much it helped tll last week i stopped taking it so i could start a diet....it came back with a  vengeance and its loud! So its very gradual...u have to be patient taking these pills. They do work but it has to build up in system. I'm going back on lipoflavonoid today since theres mild side effects as apposed to AdvilPM & Ambien!!!"


"I have been dealing with major insomnia for the past 2 mths. and, after trying other sleep meds (which didn't work), was prescribed 1mg of Lunesta before bed. It took about an hour to put me to sleep. I got about 5 disturbed hours of sleep. I tossed and turned all night and woke up feeling like I'd had 1 hr of sleep. Then the bad part came: the morning. I woke up super drowsy, had intense anxiety, OCD, tremors, chest and nasal congestion, stomach upset and shortness of breath. I was also super emotional and cried uncontrollably all day. These symptoms lasted all day. All that, so that I can get basically no sleep on this pill?! Needless to say, I will never take this pill again! The side effects are worse than anything I've experienced!"


"AWFUL. I had fairly clear skin before taking Sprintec and had gotten the implant taken out a couple months prior. But within less than a month I began to see my face break out on Sprintec. It eventually developed to the point where I got hormonal acne on my forehead and chin, places I had NEVER gotten acne. I stayed on the pill for 3 months and couldn't take the acne any more, and the worst part is that the acne WORSENED after I got off. It has been four months and my face is filled with acne scars and new blemishes. This has been an ongoing battle for me, and I regret taking the pill. Immensely. Please avoid this at all costs! Especially if you have sensitive skin or acne free skin to begin with! I'd give anything to have my old face back."


"I took Sprintec for 4 months and it was a fine and dandy birth control for pain with cramps, but I couldn't take the cystic acne it brought on. I never had acne before. The tenderness in the breasts was also quite bothersome. Other than that, good pill, but too much acne."


"It took me a while to reach an effective dose, but Zoloft was surprisingly effective. It does have a reputation of being a "starter drug" and ineffective, but it has transformed my life."


"Decreased urinary frequency within first 2 days of 25mg per day. I've had mild Gi symptoms that are very manageable. I have low back and hip pain that have become severe. This is my third week of the med. I do not want to give this Med up...  but can't take this pain. :/"


"Just started this medicine for my spine arthritis and knee arthritis It takes away the pain pretty well. I am only on 15MG. Only problem I have is it make me feel light headed and jittery at times. But, as far as getting rid of the pain, it is doing the job so far."


"My body does not react very well to hormones. I spent just over a week on this medication and experienced vomiting every single day. My physician mentioned that nausea was normal so I assumed this was typical, as my stomach is generally a little more sensitive than most, anyway. Besides, it wasn't too bad - just once in the morning. Once my body had woken up, I was just fine.

However, the last few days I was on the medication, the adverse reactions increased. Vomitting increased to several times throughout the day, nausea increased from the first few hours of the day to the entire time I was awake, and had several fainting spells accompanied by severe twitching (luckily my doctor ruled out seizures). Scary!"


"I had been on Relafen for years for my osteoarthritis, and I just discovered this summer that I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. I was still on the Relafen and had driven a long ways to see one of my doctors, and the RA was so bad in my knees and feet that it was becoming difficult to walk. I called my Orthopedic Surgeon, and they changed my NSAID from Relafen to Mobic, and within an hour of taking the Mobic, I had relief. What a difference it has made for me! It made such a difference with the inflammation in my joints, and made it easier for me to walk. After taking the Mobic for a few days, I had improved greatly. I have had no stomach or intestinal issues from the medication."


"I suffer from anxiety, OCD, bipolar, and depression. This medication has made me sluggish and slow because of that I have gained weight which has just added to the stress and anxiety. It has done nothing for me. My anxiety is still intruding on my life. My OCD is not being helped because my anxiety is not being dealt with."


"I have had Nexplanon since April of 2016. It works when it comes to not getting pregnant 100% to me. I just hate the side effects I've been moody, crying at nonsense things, and my period has been on for almost 3 months. Me and my significant other haven't had sex in a month because my period had gotten heavier. Overall I'm happy with the fact it works, but girls I can't stand how CRAZY it makes us."


"I have been taking Trinessa for one year and this pill is great. I have never had change of mood, heavy periods, breast tender, gain weight or lost weight. I have had more interest on sex than I was which is good. I love this pill what else can I say!"


"It stopped seizures but I have gained 3 pounds a week. It has totaled 50 pounds. I hate it. It is destroying my life causing my thyroid and endocrine system to go haywire and I just want to get off of it. My endocrinologist wants to have me taken off immediately as my pancreas does not produce insulin and the weight gain is dangerous."


"I just started my 2nd pack of Lo Loestrin Fe this past Sunday. I have to admit when I first starting this pill I was a little skeptic because it is such a low dose pill. I absolutely LOVE this pill so far. I do not have a ton of side effects like with other pills. Last summer I briefly was on Ortho Tri-cyclen and it made me gain 10 pounds in one week! On this pill I do not have any weight gain and no crazy mood swings and my period was super light this month. I did have some spotting throughout the first pack though. I work at a gynecology office so I am well aware that the first 3 months of any new birth control can have potentially weird side effects such as abnormal bleeding, mood swings, etc. Thumbs up from me. Will update soon. "


"I have been having a lot of stomach issues. I was told it was a bunch of things. At last it took about 4 months to conclude it was my colon. After a bout in the hospital I was given Zofran which worked wonders in no time at all; was also given Phenergan at one point and immediately became extremely irate until I passed out from it. In comparison Zofran is a God send. Can be expensive."


"The pill does work.  I had sex April 10th and took the generic brand called Take Action 2 hours after sex. My period was due 4/30 but today is 4/27 and I have my period. Symptoms I had were fatigue, spotting between periods, diarrhea, and lower abdominal pain. But now I got my period and don't want to take this pill again so I'm staying away from sex. Thank you there is a pill like this out in the world!"


Chlorpheniramine / methscopolamine / pseudoephedrine

"Very good when pharmacy can get it. Several times months will go by and unable to get."


"I am 18 and have been on this for nearly a year now, and originally started this due to severe period cramps that became unbearable. It makes them less severe, but I still have them but it's bearable now. The only side effect is the breast pain and swelling. I get sore before the placebo week and my breasts have gone up literally 2 cup sizes, at first it was ok but now it's annoying. I haven't gained weight and I think I've lost weight instead so that's a plus considering the breast increase. For birth control it works well, just the breast soreness and delayed period on the placebos caused worry for a while, but now I know it's just the pill. Overall it works good and I'll continue to take it!"


"It works decently, but it's not strong enough for my back pain."


"I had been through many forms of birth control.  Than I tried Seasonique.  The doctor warned me it could take 6-9 months to get regular, so I stuck it out through breakthrough bleeding every other week, and boy do I regret it.  After one year, I finally became regular, but then I had many muscle spasms, mood swings, cramps, mild headaches, and a TOTAL LACK OF MY SEX DRIVE and no lubrication during sex.  Even though I took my pill at exactly 9:15 every morning, one day (after over 20 months of being on it) I was two hours late and I had a two week period when I was still on the active pills.  I have chosen to switch to Loestrin 24.  It's been a few months and so far I am back to my normal self."


"I had mild panic attack disorder. I started taking the pill and there was a very light headache the first week that went away. I also woke up twice in the first two weeks feeling nausea, but I put up with it. Now I feel fine and I'm a lot happier. I don't like taking pills but my doctor thinks I should stay on it for at least one year."


"After being on Cialis for 3 months but still losing my erection during sex I started topping up with viagra as well. Even this didn't work so my problem was clearly not physical. I completely switched tactics and focused on my anxiety even though I thought I was not anxious. I started taking 5mg seroxat daily with 5mg Cialis. After only 2 days I was fixed. No loss of erection. My wife was so pleased. Had sex several times since without a problem and my wife likes my fuller size.  Dosage is 5mg Cialis and 5mg seroxat. Will stop taking the seroxat at 4 weeks and see what happens even though 5mg is a very low dosage for this drug."


"I've taken Oxyfast for 18 months now for treatment following a severe auto accident (I suffered multiple herniation's in my neck and back, torticollis, jaw dislocation, head trauma, right rotator cuff and right hand ligaments permanently scarred.  It took 4 years for me to succumb to taking this medication because of all the bad publicity. I was introduced to it by people who eventually suffered severe addictions.  I'm happy to say even though I'm prescribed over 200 mg per day I only take it for breakthrough pain to relieve the torture in my head (supposedly cluster headaches). I can stop for weeks at a time and am very thankful it doesn't affect me negatively (i.e. withdrawals)."


"I've got PTSD due to domestic violence 27 years ago which left me with chronic anxiety and panic attacks. I have too many side effects from anti-depressants so this is all I can take but they help through the worst times. My gp only gives me 28 5mg though every 5 weeks as not good and can increase your anxiety if you take regularly"


"I was terrifird to try this product because of the reviews i had read but i just had a feeling i would be fine. i put in the pill a few hours before bed tuesday night and was completely fine and got to sleep without ANY pain and when i woke up i was still feeling sore and i had lots of discharge but by the end of the next day i was symptom free. It's now the follow day and i'm feeling back to normal, however there is still a white dischargr but i read that, that is normal because the medicine has to leave your system. Overall, had NONE of the issues that i had read about in reviews. Extremely pleased."


"Got Mirena at my 6 week post-partum checkup. First baby, had him w/o an epidural, and WOW. The IUD insertion hurt worse than childbirth. I bled for 2 MONTHS straight after insertion and my husband said the cords felt like wires stabbing him for the next year. 3 years later and I wish we had money for my husband's vasectomy. I get brutal cramping almost 24/7, intercourse is painful for me if my husband thrusts too deep, I get intensely nauseous during my period and my period is VERY heavy, I recently got Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, and the cords can still be felt by my husband both the day before and the day after my period.
The only 'pluses' about this IUD is that I didn't have to pay for it and I haven't got pregnant again."


"I have been on Trinessa for 10 months. So far I have had breast tenderness, fatigue, weight gain, 104lb to 127lb (yes huge difference,) lower abdomen pain. Headaches, mood swings not so much but I do cry a lot and I mean a lot. The pill is doing its job although I've had one scare. My periods comes three days late and last about 3-6 hours, my period hasn't been longer than a day. And it's light very light like spotting. Trinessa is a good pill it has done its job but the sides effects are like symptoms of pregnancy. I could do without the side effects."


"After taking my first dose, I vomited for hours. Am afraid to take anymore due to side effects."


"I have had bad social anxiety from a very young age. It has affected my ability to obtain and maintain employment. I have tried Zoloft also, but it did not work near as well as Paxil does for me. Since taking Paxil, I have been working a new job for two months. I only give it a 9 because of the minor side effects, which I have been able to find a way around anyway. If your social anxiety is so bad that it affects your ability to support yourself, I would recommend Paxil. I am on 20mg. When I was taking 30mg the side effects were enough to make me switch to Zoloft for a while, but 20mg of Paxil is working great for me."


"Went in for a colonoscopy yesterday. I was pretty anxious but they reassured me that I would fall asleep within 20 seconds and wake up and ask when I'm having the procedure. They had me turn over on my side and told me they were administering the propofol, and there may be a burning sensation. I felt nothing, and I was probably out in less than 3 seconds. Woke up feeling perfectly fine, no soreness and no wooziness like I had just been knocked out."


"It's a cliche but this drug has transformed my life. I'd struggled with ED for years as my ability to achieve and maintain an erection diminished. This had become a real obstacle in our marriage since my wife assumed that I didn't care for her anymore (not true). I'd tried the higher strength "as required" pills but found that they spoiled the moment - planning to have sex and hour in advance isn't good - and the side effects were not good. I take Cialis 5mg once a day. For the first time in years (I know realise) I often have morning wood and can have sex whenever the mood takes us. It's big and hard and doesn't soften at awkward moments. I feel 20 years younger. No side effects. Brilliant!"


"I am 5'2 and weigh 106. I have had 3 days of constipation, I thought it was the worst, so I took 3 pills with almost two liters of water at 2 pm. nothing happened that day. Just tons of urination. The worst cramping got to me at 2am. Cold sweats, feeling uneasy, vomiting and with a massive urge to poop. I admit it is my fault for taking so many pills while being my first time using laxatives. Spread the word!!! Only take one!!!!! It is 10am and I am still suffering from cold sweats and cramps. Lots of pain. I am exhausted of this diarrhea!! I hope everything is worth at the end"


"I have been using Depo for about 9 months. I had no serious problems while using it. The only reason why I did not give it a ten is because I hated getting the shot because it really burned. I gained 24lbs since I started, and I hated the spotting. This is a great form of birth control but I am stopping this method because I don't want to lose a lot of bone density and I'm tired of getting the shot."


"I am 5'4 female and am 32 years old. On June 3rd of 2008 I started taking Phentermine. I weighed 185lbs. Just took half of a pill a day because a whole one was too much for me. I took the pill for 3 months, I stopped on September 3rd of 2008. I weighed 140 lbs. It was amazing how the pounds just dropped. Now almost 5 months later I still weight 140 lbs. I weigh myself once a week just to make sure I am still 140 lbs. The most I have weighed since I stopped taking the pill was 144 lbs but it was after the holidays. I love Phentermine."


"I have been on it a few months, with great results for my ADD. I have greater concentration and am up getting things done, instead of vegging in front of the tube. The major drawback has been sweating. I was getting chills and sweating a lot! Originally thought it could be hormones, but not after reading others' comments matching my symptoms. I was jittery at first, but now smooth sailing. I tell lots of people how happy I am with the results. I loved Welbutrin but am allergic."


"I'm 19 and have been on this pill for 4 months now and have realized many changes. Some pros are that my acne has cleared up and excess hair slowed its growth rate but the cons outweigh the pros. I have terrible mood swings, headaches and nausea when i never had that before. My sex drive is nearly non existent. My periods are more controlled but they are very heavy and leave me very tired. I have gained 15 pounds in 4 months despite getting 2 hours of exercise almost everyday.
I thought this pill would help my hormones levelled and help my depression, but has made my relapses far between but much more intense when they happen.

overall, it gets the job done, but if you can, try a different pill."


"I had Mirena inserted 14 months ago, after having my second child. I had a period which lasted 2 months, then nothing since. That's still OK although it makes me wonder if I am still healthy! I can now though report that since I've had Mirena, I have NO libido whatsoever and I hear this is a very common symptom. This really is affecting my marriage."
