"I was in an accident. Doctors words...I had to learn how too do everything again walk, talk, stand, brush teeth etc. Oxycodone and Oxycontin neather worked much. I was switched to Opana ER. What a difference this made. Pain was reduced by 50% more than the Oxycontin and almost no mental decrease. This was my biggest issue and now solved with Opana ER. Thank you Opana ER."


"I was on ortho tri cyclen for about 4 months before switching to its generic version (tri sprintec) so in total I've been on the pill for 8 months. There are a couple of side effects I've had... Weight gain  ... Vaginal dryness .... My sex drive is at an all time low and my hormones used to drive me crazy... I have problems with depression and anxiety but I do believe it stabilized that and helped just a bit. Its cleared up my cystic acne somewhat... Thats all I can think of for the side effects. I take the bad with the good, and the whole point of taking it was for acne and avoiding pregnancy and its doing a great job at the avoiding pregnancy thing! I would probably recommend."


"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."


"My face breaks out in itchy blotchy spots and I never sleep"


"Had a headache from drinking the night before.  Took 6mg Dilaudid, the pain was gone almost instantly."


"This gum does as it says, helps stop the cravings. I just traded one addiction for another, and am highly addicted to the gum. I would seek help from other places, as this is even more expensive than smoking!

I notice that when I chew a lot of it, my heart races and get light headed upon standing. This medication can't be good long term, so please be careful."


"I started taking gabapentin for my trigeminal neuralgia nearly 3 years ago but it gave me alarming mood swings, I nearly hit my wife! This sent me back to the doctor and I was put on pregabalin which was slightly better on the moods swings but became less effective over time. Now on Tegretol slow release (400mg morning and 600mg evening) it allows me to work but in some pain. I tried 600mg twice a day but I slept all day every day for a month. Breakthrough pain can be helped by taking tramadol and Co-codamol although only slightly. Overall good but it will leave you sleepy and forgetful - don't forget it's job is to slow the neurons in you're brain (I believe it was originally developed for epilepsy). Don't expect to be completely pain free and good luck."


"Definitely improving my life. I'm less stressed at work and life with the kids is easier.  Some social settings (crowds) still bothersome, but I'm getting there. One of the pages I read warned about caffeine intake, they weren't kidding. I cut out caffeine and it lessened my mood swings.  Please read about interactions with other medicines when you start something new, it makes a difference!"


"I started taking phentermine 03/29 at 241.6lbs. I was 265lbs in 2010 and lost weight naturally and went to the gym and got down to 211lbs and got lazy and the weight has crept back up. I didn't think the Rx would work but today 03/30 I was 237.6 after just 1 day. I worked out for 2hrs on my 1st day and had to leave because I was so nauseous. I got a headache and nausea on day 1 and could barely eat. Today was day 2 and my head has been hurting and I've been nauseous for over 10hrs and couldn't go to workout. I am taking 37.5mg I'm the mornings. I read the headache may be hunger or dehydration so I forced down an Apple and naked chicken breast but it was hard to get down and symptoms didn't go away. I'm gonna try to stick with it."


"Relieved neck spasms and akathisia from antipsychotics"


"Started my period when I was 11, went through cycles like a normal pre-teen, and then when I was 13 my period stopped.  After a few months I mentioned it to my pediatrician, who referred me to an OBGYN, and then a pediatric endocrinologist.  Because I was so young, I chose to forgo BC and do metformin, started out at 500mg/day. Lost 40 pounds and felt great, periods came back to every 35-40 days.  However, after a while, the medication stopped working and I was put up to 1000mg, then eventually 1500mg.  Once I was older I switched to BC because the metformin stopped working.  Liked that I lost a lot of weight in the beginning, but then it just stopped.  I'm on it again now after 3 years to lower my free testosterone, and it's ok."


"I have been taking 14 units each morning for the past 3 weeks.  Week one not bad I think because of the transition from Lantus to Trebisa.  Week 2 started having highs in the morning with meals and then dropping low starting around 4pm.  Week three highs still in the morning and having to take triple Novolog (1 unit per 15 carbs) and then by 4 pm dropping to the 40's and 50's and having to drink up to 3 8oz glasses of OJ to level back out.  This week I am trying to split the dosage to 7 units in the morning and 7 at night.  That was a fail, I ran high all night.  With all these challenges Dr. switched me back to Lantus."


"please girls do not get this bc. I have bled for 9 months gained 50 lbs and my boobs have blowed up like ballons. just had removed and am hoping to get my life back."


"I am a register nurse working 12 hour shifts.  tugging pulling.  I fell back in 1998 and damaged both of my knee's severely.  I have taken many different medications to control my chronic pain.  I have been taking nucynta 75mg every 6 hours since summer 2015.  Not all of my pain is gone, but I can tolerate more activity.  My life has improved greatly.   It is great that I do not have to burn up my liver with Tylenol.  Like all medications; it is not for everybody.  It works with my body chemistry.   My pain levels are low enough where I can sleep."


"Helped with the pain from an animal bite"


"Day 7 today not sure if its working or not, really am putting my hope into this medicine to help save me."


"I was suffering from regular severe urinary tract infections, taking multiple courses of antibiotics each time, only to feel relief for a few weeks before getting another infection, despite drinking 2  liters of water per day, taking cranberry supplements, and washing and urinating before and after sex. Since taking Hiprex, I have not had an infection in several months. The only negative is that the tablets taste awful."


"I started Contrave in October of 2015.   I followed a 1200-1500 calorie diet and walked for activity. I lost 60 pounds by July of 2016. I was taken off the medicine slowly and have since maintained the weight loss. I did suffer through some illness in the beginning, but I used bonine for the nausea. After two to three weeks I felt fine.  Contrave was a success for me!!!!"


"Love this pill! I tried Ortho Cylclen, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Loestrin 24.  They all made me emotional, have angry outbursts, and hazy feeling. I didn't want to go back on the pill because of that but I wanted to give it one last shot. It hasn't affected my mood or weight at all. Everyone's body is different. If you have issues with a pill look up the hormone combination. I noticed that the 3 failures had one in common and tried to find a new pill that didn't contain that hormone. Orsythia was one and I really am happy I gave it a shot. What works for one person might not work for you. Keep an open mind and keep trying until you find what works for you."


"Insertion was not bad.  I recommend getting Mirena inserted while bleeding, as the cervix is open.

First 6 months spotting off and on.  Then following months just light period around my cycle time.  No weight gain.  Not to much hair thinning.  Overall, I think Mirena is a great choice for long and effective birth control."


"just started"


"This product changed my life! I used to hide the sweat from my underarms in black now I refuse to buy anything black. I love my new look and my new confidence."


"I took 2 Dulcolax for mild constipation and 5 hours later was hit with severe abdominal pain and sweating for about 45 minutes. It was the first time that I had used this. I was about to leave for the emergency room and it subsided.  My daughter read some reviews on Dulcolax and found that several people were affected in this way. I would definitely stay away from this product. It did relieve the constipation this morning."


"I suffer from severe pelvic and abdominal adhesions and severe pelvic pain as a result. It was from a combination of several surgeries, GI issues, endometriosis, bleeding ovarian cysts etc. I am going to be 30 this year and the condition has robbed me of most of my twenties. For years I have tried Percocet, Dilaudid, Lortab, oxycodone, dihydrocodeine, injections in my nerves, Lyrica, topimarate. They only work for a short time and then I have to pretty much live my life around my pain medicine schedule. Then after my last 2 surgeries, the pain got better and was slightly okay with Lortab but not good enough. I started MS Contin 15mg twice a day last week and I have been virtually pain free. I even forget to take the second dose sometimes."


"I love the NuvaRing! It's easy, I don't have to remember to take a pill, my periods are light. The only side effect I've had while being on it, was I was bleeding while having sex. After speaking to my doctor about it, she told me this is VERY common and I can keep my ring out for up to 2 hours to have sex. So that's the only negative. Having to take out my birth control every time I'm about to have sex. Other than that, I strongly recommend NuvaRing."

"My son was on Daytrana, it worked so well- he would still be on it if we could have gotten the dosage right. The 10 mg wasn't strong enough, the 15 mg affected his diet too much and he lost weight. The only other problems we had out of it was the patch itself- sometimes the plastic back didn't want to peel off and/or the patch wouldn't stick right."


"I started abilify in January of this year, 10 mg. I'm now taking 15 mg. This medication has given me back my life.

No voices, no visual hallucinations. I still struggle with mild paranoia though. I can get through the day, and that's saying something!"


"So I had unprotected sex on June 20th took the pill right after we did it. The only side effects I had was only nausea and dizziness, also tiredness but it only last for a day for me. And my expected date for my period is July 6 and of course it did came but really bad cramps."


"Drug works but the patch is horrible.  It is plastic and wrinkles up.  The edges don't adhere well so the patch is always sticking to my clothes.  I hope they fix this issue.  If they do I will buy again but for now I'm going to save my money."


"Diagnosed anxiety, depression and ADD. Have been on Ritalin but side effects were too severe, making depression and anxiety worse.
On d-amp for 2 weeks now. It's doing its job and I barely have any side effects."


"I Discovered 1984 Naltrexone was available in the USA. I am Australian, Started Social Drinking at 19yrs. Became Totally Alcohol Dependent at 24yrs. In & Out of Trouble with the Law. Many Episodes of detox. AA did Not work for me. Finally a Hospital in 2000 allowed me Into their Limited Detox Unit. I read literature on Naltrexone for Drug Addicts & Alcoholics, Asked the Drs could We try this Naltrexone as Nothing has Ever Worked . Will Power NO. Detox on many Occasions NO. Relationships Broken due to my Alcoholism. Finally in 2000 Nov. First given 50mg in Detox. Out of Hospital I drank on the side & became So ill! Aug 2001. That was It! I'm 62yrs Now! Wish Naltrexone was Available when I was 24yrs Old. Sober Now since Aug 2001."


"I am on a long term trial with a PCSK9 Inhibitor - over 7 months now. I have had some bowel issues but after discussion with my GP and my Cardiologist, we tried 1mg of Loperamide Hydrochloride. I take this as I feel the change in the bowel, and all is well before getting to diarrhoea and excessive wind. This has worked well. Check with your doctor and cardiologist."


"Since I had the mirena I haven't gotten my period at all. It's been a year and I haven't bled. I have gained a lot of weight specially on my legs and I do get a lot of cramps sometimes."


"I've had it about 8 months and have my period pretty much all the time! If I don't bleed I have sex then I start to bleed again. It's already bad enough I don't have a sex drive! I never had a heavy period or bad cramps but I do now. I do feel on edge ever since I got it. I thought at the beginning it was just my hormones from having a baby and breastfeeding but no sometimes I just snap! I'm getting this thing out ASAP! I've waited the 6 months they say for your body to adjust and it's not working!"


"Lost 12 pounds in 6 weeks. (261-->249)

Minor changes to diet.  Exercising a little more.

I found it's best to avoid sugar as much as possible because eating sugar starts a craving that can be too much for the Belviq.

But it works, in my opinion.  And I have had no side effects.

My goal is to lose at least another 60 pounds."


"I'm giving this an 8 because I have only been taking for a few weeks. I am taking 25mg/day along with up to 100mg of Hydroxizine every 6 hours for anxiety. Doc told me it would take about 4-6 weeks for Sertraline to really kick in but, let me tell you, I have already noticed a HUGE difference! Much calmer, clear minded, able to focus, excited to be alive. I just got sober a few weeks ago, so these meds are a Godsend since my body is readjusting to normality. So far, 2 thumbs way up!

Side effects I've noticed: HUGE appetite, random small headaches, and lower sex drive. All of these could be from too much caffeine, too little exercise, my body readjusting to sobriety..........or a multitude of other things. Can't pinpoint them to the meds."


"Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis a year ago. Took medicine for a month. Cleared up. Recently, another flare up. Am taking again and is slowly clearing up again."


"I was pregnant, I had to stop taking Relpax (at 2 x a month) for migraines and I made notes and found I had horrible pain 20 out of 30 days in the month.  For 2 months I suffered and my ob referred me to my neuro who referred to my ob and no one would help me.  A new neuro put me on Periactin 4mg once a day.  I started it on -I think day 2  of what usually is a 3 day migraine and it stopped.  I had only a faint sensation of a headache.  "


"This is the worst medication I have ever taken! It was poison to me! Severe lower back pain so bad had to walk with 2 canes! Thought it was sciatica , had extreme bladder pain, headaches , burning itching feet, severe , constipation , stomach pain so bad I ended up in emergency room! And ended up with upper respitory infection, My primary care took me off this garbage , all symptoms seem to be going away! Just a warning before you take this poison ask questions and read up on it!!!!!"


"I love Trinessa I have had no negative side effects at all. It cleared up most of my acne scaring and I have been on it for 2 years now and had no pregnancy scares ever and I do it unprotected a lot. I would recommend this as a girls first pill to try."


"I have been experiencing cystic acne for about 3 months now. My doctor had put on adaphlene cream and doxy antibiotic pills the first 2 months which basically purge out all sorts of acne. I was aware that it takes roughly 12 weeks to see results but I was just getting worse. My doctor ended up referring me to a Dermatologist who told me to continue with the adaphlene cream 0.1% at night. He took me off of the doxy antibiotic and prescribe me the minocycline 50mg 2 times a day and Aczone gel 7.5 once day as well as wash my face with Benozoyl Peroxide wash. The acne is almost gone after only being on the new medications 2 weeks. All I have left now is the horrible hyperpigmentation from the acne and it seems to be fading gradually too."


"All I can say is Wellbutrin has substantially increased my quality of life. I was so scared about side effects that I waited years to try antidepressants. I was on Celexa and when that failed I was put on Zoloft which also did me no good. Wellbutrin not only brought me out of a deep depression it's caused me to be active and my weight is now in the normal range. I'm also more organized and positive than I've ever been. My family members who were initially against me taking Wellbutrin has changed their opinion because they see me enjoy life again."


"Fought these suckers for a year on and off with my kids. I tried vinegar and salt, coca cola, olive oil, dollar store brand, rid and an expensive moose..kept coming back so I got so aggrevated and took them to doc he prescribed sklice and DONE..BOOM..NOTTA BUG ANYWHERE..finally peace..thank you sklice..one and done"


"Garbage. Note they no longer offer the 15 day free trial. I shelled out $160 for pills that make me dizzy (like drunk) and exhusted. I gained weight because I couldn't find the energy to get off the couch. I gave them over 2 weeks to get into my system, suffering the whole time with no benefit. I wish hadn't bothered."


"I'm 24 yrs old. When I was only 4 I started experiencing crazy symptoms. Constant eye twitching, joint pain everywhere.. (Especially my hands) It wasn't until I turned 22 that a Dr thought to test me for Lyme Disease! After almost 20 yrs of searching for a diagnosis & treatment! I immediately was started on Doxy (100mg 2xDaily for a month) & referred to I.D. DR. I didn't even make it 3 days on the Doxy cuz the HERX! I wanted to die! Was then switched to a different antibiotic & again, only made it a few days on it because of how unbearable it was. A year later & I'm trying the Doxy again. Only 2 days in, feel like I'm dying. Whoever thinks Chronic Lyme isn't real, let me infect you & not get treated for years. Then let's see what you think!"


"This is a Zombie drug , causes me to fall and hurt myself , makes me have zero emotions and I hate everyone and want everyone in the world to die ..... would be animal abuse to give it to a pet ......I'm not taking this anymore ."


"My uncle(who is a doctor),suggested Epiduo, and take a medicine called Minocycline/Akamine. I take the mino twice everyday and the production of acne reduced in the first few weeks.At the same time, I clean my face every night with a gentle cleanser and put moisturiser. Afterwards,I put the Epiduo on the infected area. People have been saying that, it hurts/burns, but for me it was only the first night. I was itching badly, I couldn't sleep. So I put a lot of moisturiser on my face. Afterwards, it didn't hurt/burn ever.  I don't put Epiduo on my face everyday but when an area of my face is only infected. I've been using it for 5 months and its heaven. No acne at all. Epiduo only helps clear the acne on your face not clear it, the medicine does"


"This medication really helped me and it works fast. I do agree with one comment a consumer made, it can constipate you. I went from one extreme diarrhea to not being able to go at all. I guess you just have to figure out how much or how many doses are best for you. Still, I'm glad my doctor prescribed it for me."


"This medicine has been a complete life changer for me. Having heavy periods 4 months non stop bleeding I am 40 years old. I was prescribed 10 milligrams for 10 days. If it wasn't for this medicine my everyday life would be unbearable. Some drugs aren't for everyone. This one is by far the best. Everyone says it can cause cancer it has bad side effects. Doesn't everything in life cause cancer and have bad side effects this drug is so helpful prolonged uterine bleeding I would recommend this to anyone. This medicine save me from a complete hysterectomy so why everyone voices their opinions on it don't take it go on and bleed and deal with it and quit complaining about it maybe if it wasn't for the stress in your life your periods would be reg"


"Zoloft is not a good medicine for "severe" depression. I have OCD and that is what this medicine is best used for. It does help with the anxiety and the headaches that go along with it. It keeps the obsessive thoughts to a minimum. My compulsive need to make everything perfect is also gone. It makes you more social too. It has not made me gain weight. It is a good drug if used for OCD."


"I have been on Nexplanon for a yr. I have not had a period during that time. I occasionally get cramps but that's it. overall it was a miracle for me.  I used to suffer from ovarian cysts and heavy periods. It also supported my road warrior lifestyle which was difficult with the pill."


"I had been on another antibiotic for 3 weeks.  When I went in for a recheck, I still had pneumonia, so was put on Levaquin for 5 days. The first day I took it in the morning & it made me light headed, so I decided to take it @ night.  It would cause me to wake up throughout the night. I would also have a burning sensation in my chest & get hot.  I went back in for a checkup & the x-ray showed that some parts had improved, but some parts were worse. I was referred to a pulmonologist.  I feel like it was too strong for my body."


"I had this medicine during a recent surgery, rather than propofol. When I awoke I woke up, somewhat naturally but for the first 45 minutes I was disoriented and got people's names wrong."


"This my 6th week with Trulicity. First week was terrible. Nausea, breathing problem, loss of appetite, stomach trouble, weakness. Felt like discontinue but thought of giving a trial. At present my blood sugar level is holding good, feeling better. Looks like my body is adjusting to this new medicine. If present condition holds and if my A1c drops to near 7 or so, I am inclined to use Trulicity. Am using .75/.5 dose."


"Its been 3 months now off Xanax ( was taking up to 4 mg a day for 2 years after brother killed himself) and I'm just now starting to feel like myself again.  Coming off the xanax was the hardest thing I've ever done.  I had to force myself to work and keep my job. I had good days and bad days (more bad than good). My symptoms were crazy. No sleep, headaches, shakes, twitching, pain everywhere, memory problems. If I knew how hard it is to come off benzo's, I never would have touched it. Short term use= ok. Stressful event=ok. If this helps one person, then yay. Please be careful! Don't end up detoxing off of a benzo and going thru hell for weeks or months. Research this med. Not fun!"


"Abnormal dreams and bothersome while taking sensipar.  I have difficulty sleeping . Bad dreams stop and return to normal if I skip the dose"


"This is my first time taking such a high dosage of this medicine, which was usual for me but I had abad tooth ache. I have taken penicillin before but at a lower dosage, however this new med has a higher dosage and the side effects are bothersome. I do not truly feel it is worth continuing to take. I'm consulting the doctor that prescribed the med to me from our local hospital's ER."


"Tried all the benzodiazepines with no luck. Then they tried Buspar and it changed my life."


"I was put on sertraline six years ago after my previous SSRI, Luvox, became ineffective.  I have found it effective at controlling my depression and anxiety, but there have been some major drawbacks.  Primarily, I find myself unable to achieve orgasm during intercourse.  Also, earlier this summer, I tried reducing my dosage from 150 mg to 100 mg - and I got a taste of SSRI withdrawal syndrome, which really, really, really sucks - a veritable hell on earth.  I am currently looking into changing to a better tolerated drug."


"I started this pill on 4/13/15.  At that time I weighed 168, my height is 5'1".  As of 5/21/15 I have lost 11 pounds.  This pill definitely helps to curb your appetite and give you an energy boost.  I think it's super important to setup good eating habits and a solid exercise routine while you have the extra energy, especially since this isn't a pill you'll be able to take long term.  Use it to your advantage!!  Good luck all, sounds like everyone is doing really well.  Yay us!!!!"


"this medication saved my life...I actually like the mylan better than the vivelle as far as the way I feel, the vivelle caused sinus problems and gassy bloat, the mylan product did not for me, however the mylan product doesn't stick as well or last as long....OVERALL: I love estrogen replacement and it is a TRAGEDY that women are suffering and their docs are not offering HRT when it is now proven that HRT prolongs life and has a protective influence on heart, bones and brain.  I want to tell every woman out there do not be a hero, do not suffer, and do not be afraid.  estrogen is good for you and can give you your life back.  why do none of the women I talk to know this? crime!!"


"I've been taking Lo Loestrin FE for about 2.5 years now.  The first few months were pretty rough, ie. mood swings, weight gain, low sex drive.  I was even nauseous and sometimes had two periods in one month.  YES, I agree it can be tough to give this one a chance, but I'm glad I did.  At this point I have not had a period in months, and all side effects have mellowed.  I do get normal PMS symptoms, light cramping and body aches, just no bleeding.  No more weight gain or mood swings.  I'm glad I stuck it out because it has been the best birth control I've used."


"This is the only hormonal BC pill that doesn't give me mood swings or headaches, however, I do get frequent, heavy spotting throughout the month :("


"Brings me back from panic attacks, only thing that calms me down."


"I started these pills on 09/26/16 my starting weight was 226 pounds so its been I guess almost 2 weeks stepped on the scale 10/05/16 and I am down to about 210 pounds which is good because I did not feel like I lost anything....When I first started I was very jittery, headache, and not eating a lot of stuff my goal is to get up under 200 pounds and come off of the pill within the next month I am hoping. I have started to experience a little of chest pain I am 27 years old and 5'5 so at my age i really want to lose inches so I am going to start adding exercise in my diet maybe a routine. I hope this helps."


"I taken plan B within the time frame and did everything that I was supposed to do. This pill cost $50 and was not effective. Two weeks after I have taken this I took 4 pregnancy test and all came back positive. I used two different brands just to make sure. Ept being one and the other clearblue. I'm now not sure what to do because having a baby was never in my plans. People don't waste your money. Practice abstinence!"


"I've been on Sprintec for about 7 or 8 months. I noticed I began getting very depressed after about 2 or 3 months and now it has only gotten worse I'm on antidepressants which aren't helping. I have horrible migraines almost every day which seem to get worse. My period happens about every 2-3 weeks. I'm tired all the time and I have ridiculous mood swings.. I'm so touchy and sensitive. After reading this I'm going to stop taking this birth control."


"Ive been on Depo for a little over 6 months now. After my first shot I had my period as regular which worried me but after that week I've never had it again. I weigh at about 115-120 pounds depending on how active I'm being. I have gone up a cup size in my breast but I'm not complaining. My only concerns is that in the future I might gain weight or I'll have weak bones. I'm planning on taking the shot for at least 7 or 8 more years but I don't know what effects that will have on my body. So far though its a 10/10. No headaches, no more periods. I still want to have sex with my boyfriend more than ever and I love the fact that I feel normal and like myself, and not moody and in pain. I love Depo and I hope it works out for me in the long run."


"I have had bacterial & kidney infections for about 15 yrs off & on & docs have prescribed many different antibiotics to me but Cipro is the only thing that ever worked for me & is strong enough to kill the Bacteria.Cipro is my only hope once my infection starts!"


"I wanted to put up my experience with Wellbutrin, because some people may have the same issues that I had with the drug. In the onset of taking Wellbutrin, I had, each time, slight to severe anxiety and almost worsening of symptoms, in proportion to how hefty of a dosage I started off with. Long story short, I'm never getting off of it again, BUT if someone is trying to get on wellbutrin and is having awful anxiety and no sleep or appetite like I did.... you might ask your doctor if you can take a small dosage and taper up. I literally started with 18.5mg and I still had a few symptoms from that, but I could also feel improvement at the same time. I increased by 18.5 more each 3-7 days. I'm not on 300's and knock on wood, my life is back."


"Endep had a very quick effect and eliminated the muscular pain that I have suffered for more than ten years.
I do feel drowsy, its seems to have a calming effect on me and I sleep amazingly well."


"It helps control break thru seizures and the anxiety I get with mine. However; it makes you feel feel very dopey and tired."


"Been on this medicine for almost 2 years. Went to max dose of 60mg. Did NOTHING for my depression, anxiety, back pain, or Fibromyalgia. Completely useless medication. And whats worse? You got it- WITHDRAWAL. I have been to the ER 4 times now since withdrawing from 60mg down to 30mg, so I am only half way weened off as of now. Extreme vertigo, nausea, dizziness, brain zaps, edge of panic all day into night. Worst experience I have every had after trying different anti-depressants for the last 7 years. Gave this medicine the last chance. After I get off it, may take me a year or more to ween the rest of the way down."


"Abilify has been a miracle drug as an anti-depressant augmenter. It eliminates the mood disorder side of depression and anxiety when taken with my other medications.  Unfortunately, it's also makes me very drowsy even at super low dosages (e.g. 1/2-1.5 mg)."


"I am working on a cross wean from lexapro to zoloft after lex pooped out after ten years. Up to 50 mg now and 5 mg of lex and feeling so so so much better. No more panic attacks, no more waiting in bed until my klonopin kicks in, sleeping better, depression drastically decreased and feel I have a purpose in life again. Mild GI distress, but I'd take that forever over where I was. Wish I had had the guts to do this sooner."


"I've been using this for about 3 years now. This is probably the first product I've ever used that resulted in clearer skin, both on my face and my body. I went from having at least 5-7 big red pimples at all times, often more when I was on my period, to having clear skin with maybe a few small blemishes most of the time. It took a few months before I noticed it was actually working. Everything was great until 2 months ago, I now have acne just as bad, if not worse, than ever before (face and back). I still use Benzaclin but it's had absolutely no effect, which is extremely disappointing. Back to square one I guess."


"Although it did stop the coughing, I had a bad allergic reaction. My body started itching, my tongue and lips swelled. And when the itching stopped, things felt weird."


"I took this pill after 24 hours of the accident. 5 days later I got what they say is a "Plan B Period" even though I got that I was still stressing think of the what if's, the next month my period was late 7 days late in fact but it eventually came. I am so thankful for this pill. What I learned is don't stress if you take the pill directed you will be fine. The only down side was I got extremely tired"


"Went to the hospital for uncontrollable nausea/vomiting and am Type 1 diabetic.  By IV it made me restless, agitated, and my face felt slightly swollen but it along with some Zofran in-between stopped the vomiting.  They diagnosed me with gastroparesis so now I take it 30 mins before I eat and once before bed."


"I have suffered from recurrent urinary tract infections since I became sexually active. I would get an infection every time I had sex with my boyfriend. I tried countless courses of antibiotics which apparently cleared the infection but when I had sex again i got another one. finally my doctor put me on nitrofurantoin and this cleared the infection immediately. I have still to finish the course. I haven't had sex while taking the last few courses to make sure the infection has cleared fully! "


"This Medication Is The best pain medicine I have tried. I've tried Codeine, Oxycodone, And all those over the counter meds. Hydrocodone By far has helped my nerve and back pain. I'm only 16 years old and I have alot of Back problems (Scoliosis, Spondylithesis, Herniated disk, pinched nerve) And Leg pain. I take 1 tablet 3 to 4 times daily as needed for my pain. It takes my pain away within 15 minutes! It's a wonderful medication. I love it. I've been on Lortab 7.5/500 for about a year now."


"Monodox is awesome. Not only did it only cost $10 with their savings card but also works so well. I had taken Doryx before but couldn't tolerate it at all! I got a rash and extreme nausea (150mg) but now I started taking 100mg of Monodox in the evening with dinner and not only do I not have the rash or nausea but I also don't have the photosensitivity. Plus the Doryx pill was HUGE. These capsules are so small and easy to swallow. If you take the Monodox 75mg you can either spread the dosing or take it all at once, whatever works best for you. But for me the 100mg is perfect. I should note I also started using Ziana at night as I couldn't tolerate any of the benzoyl peroxide topicals. And starting tonight I will also add Aczone as a primer."


"I am in my early 60s. Have had chronic constipation ever since childhood (2 BMs per week), but it became much worse in the last couple of years (up to 2 weeks without BM). After more than a year of trying to find the optimal amount of Miralax to take per day per GI doctor's instructions, and when to also include stool softeners, I  was doing okay (BM every 4 or 5 days), but had occasional leakage. I started Amitiza two weeks ago at my internist's suggestion, two 8mg pills twice a day. It was like a miracle the first week - small to medium daily movements and a couple of large ones. No side effects. But now it stopped working. It has been 7 days with no BM. The last 2 days I took 24 mg. Also ate prunes and took stool softeners. Nothing yet."


"I have been on Benicar 20mg for about 2 years for high blood pressure and headaches caused by stenosis and a bad disk in my neck. I know within a couple of hours if I have missed my dose. My blood pressure elevates, headaches with loss of balance, dizziness, sensitivity to light and my neck muscles knot up. For the past several months I have experienced leg and feet swelling on a regular basis. If it wasn't for Benicar, I would have had neck surgery several years ago."


"First started taking for cluster headaches (much worse than your run of the mill migraine), worked a treat. Was taking rizapan, sumagram, maxalt, basically all the Triptans and while they work I get about 4 cluster headaches a day so I started to get headaches from the overdosing on Triptans. Went to hospital and endone did nothing for me. Tried beta blockers, they made me really sick. Even did physio and acupuncture, don't even bother.... 30mg of endep and the cluster headaches are completely gone."


"This has helped me to control my glucose better than any of the medications that I have tried in the past."


"Was given this for depression and had no idea it would transform my life. After taking for just 1 day I noticed my pain was almost gone after suffering for years. I can't believe that only the day before I started venlafaxine I had to use crutches to go shopping because the pain in my legs and back when walking was excruciating. I've noticed I feel so much more relaxed than I have in years, my mood has improved, I feel almost excited that I can now get my life back. I am 45, have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and fibromyalgia and wish I had known about venlafaxine years ago."


"If your getting side effects  from taking prednisone try switching to Hydrocortisone tablets and see if that helps"


"I was achy, feverish (100.4) and had a severe headache.I felt like a truck ran me over. I went to the Dr. and was prescribed Tamiflu. I took the first dose and noticed a difference. I didnt have nausea, insomnia or diarrhea. No side effects. I was skeptical as viral infections have to run their course but I'm so happy I took it."


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


"This med is so wrong for me that i had tightness in both sides of my chest i freaked out .I am bi-polar and  anxiety is very hard to live with. My chest got tight then it went in to a panic attack .Let it be used for what its meant for  NOT FOR ME!!!!!"


"I have serious insomnia issues worse than most people. Trazodone helps to initiate sleep but not to maintain it. However, if you have another medicine that helps with sleep maintenance or that increases slow wave sleep, trazodone can be a good ally. (for me, a combination of pregabalin and gabapentin helps with the latter). Between 50-150 mg should do the trick. If the dose is too high, instead of sleeping you may get stuck in a state that is between sleeping and awake, which is not so great. Hence it's good to titrate upwards and find that sweet spot."


"I've been on Clonazepam for five years now. I take it for general anxiety disorder. This is a miracle drug. I don't care what the critics say about the idea that it's addictive or that you build up a tolerance or any of the other hundreds of negative things they say about this drug. All the negative effects they claim you'll experience haven't happened to me. And trust me, if anyone feels the side effects of drugs, it's me. All the cold and flu medications, antihistamine, etc. that say they are non drowsy (i.e. Clartin) knock me out completely. Sure, this drug is addictive, but so is your heart medication. If you go off it, you might get a heart attack. Listen to the doctors, not the Internet."


"I was having a horrible withdrawal from Cymbalta and was determined to get off it! After my docs only answer was take Ativan (which made me extremely zombified). After two trips to the ER they recommended Vistaril and it calmed the brain zaps, disorientation and extreme confusion. It's been a huge help!"


"I started risperidone after my last hospitalization for PTSD with psychosis. Before risperidone I suffered from insomnia, nightmares, and paranoia that lead me to full blown psychotic state. I now live a more normal life with few symptoms. I take risperidone with sertraline and clonazepam at night then pass out for about 10 hours. I suffer from mental fog and lack of emotion on the drug. I don't fully wake up until about 4 pm after my afternoon nap. It has also caused my periods to stop and enlarged breasts that leak once I up'd to 2 mg. Going to try ziprazidone next to see if I can have better quality of life."


"It seemed to work well for me right from the start.  I had been on Remicade previously but I had to quit due to losing my insurance.  By the time I went to Simponi I was hurting pretty bad.

Unfortunately, it stopped working after a while (18 months) but that has been my personal experience with Biologics.  When it worked, it worked well."


"This medication helps me sleep all night. It is the best sleep medication I have ever taken."


"I remember this from when I was a child. I suffered from eczema, very severely in the scalp and on my arms. No shampoo helped, until an old beautician told my mom about it. It was wonderful and I only used this for years. I've grown out of my eczema, so as an adult I'd forgotten it until 2000 when I went natural. My scalp still hates shampoo, and I never use it. One day I really wanted to wash my hair but I was out of both acv, and kaolin. I didn't really feel like bothering with it and wished I cld just "buy" some darn shampoo and be done. Aha!! I remembered the name of this shampoo from my youth and actually found that they still make it; AND sell it! I cldn't believe it! It still works. My scalp thanks the lovely makers of Sebulex shampoo."


"I have been using pennsaid topical for a week now on my neck (Facets in my cervical 2-7are narrowing and pinching nerves) ... Great results... Not having any pain.. It is calming down the nerves!!! What a relief!! The only side effect is a slight burning for about the first five minutes after applying... But then it subsides! This is a God send for me!!!"


"Been using Jublia for 10 months. Was getting detachment of the nail on the big toe and Doctor said 8 of the 10 toes had some stage of infection.  Now just have a spot on one toenail  with clear growth halfway up the nail.  I used it as instructed and I'm one of the fortunate ones - I am nearly clear if the toenail fungus now.  Will keep it that way by never getting a pedicure ever again."


"I was sceptical at first but I am very glad I tried it for my back pain. Soma provides much better relief than NSAIDs or narcotics AND without their nasty side effects."


"This medication is just making everything worse: Stomache, severe abdominal pain like I never felt before it's horrible, I can't eat or drink, vision lost and the list goes on and on. I am on day 7 and I am in the hospital because of these symptoms!!"


"I've been taking Linzess for almost a year now. I didn't have the major side effects that I was told I would get within the first week, but I have been impressed with the results I am getting. I am still not 100% regular and on occasion take miralax and milk of magnesia if I don't go for 2-3 days, but that is better than only going once a week for 20  years. It isn't the cheapest medication but it doesn't break the bank for me either. I would rather pay my monthly rate than have a major surgery due to chronic constipation.."


"Started on Jan16th 2017 and today is Feb 8th 2017 so far I've lost 11 pounds but I have skipped days which is about once a week and on my period days. Start weight was 200 and today I weigh 189. I workout out at least twice a week based on my busy schedule. The pill works great on my appetite and keeps me drinking water a gallon a day. I barely consume enough calories usually about 500 to 800 a day and I've noticed on my cheat days I end up losing more the next day. I need more motivation to get to my goal weight. Wish me luck ! 25 year old female 5'2"


"Breakthrough bleeding all month for almost two years, extreme irritability, to the point that I came here to read others' moods when on this drug.  Also, the PMS symptoms last all month long.  I am only level headed when it's the week off. No sex drive, bloating, cramping, nausea, fatigue and really greasy hair. I am going to ask for a new pill. I tried to stay on this pill, but, it's bad in every way."


"When I took this it was very painful. The shots messed up my muscles and my condition got so much worse after the 6 month period. I had to get surgery and lost my first organ. I'm not saying don't try it for endo but be wary when you do. You're supposed to have more intense symptoms in the first part but it is supposed to get better. Mine did not, it only got worse."


"I started taking this medication about 3 years ago for Depression/Social Anxiety. I will say for depression this drug worked wonders, not so much anxiety though. However, recently I've decided to try for the 3rd time to stop taking it. The withdrawal you get from Effexor is the worst feeling."


"I started Qsymia in mid-December at 309 pounds and have lost a total of 30 pounds so far. I am now on the 7.5 mg dosage and it's working great!  Personally, I've never experienced any of the side effects that some have, other than maybe a slight headache the first day or two when first starting the medication, and again when upping the dose.  It's been a life-changer for me!  On Qsymia, I can eat normally.  I no longer have the cravings in between meals and especially for sweets.  I can actually pass up cake and donuts!  It's true that you'll no longer like the taste of soda - diet or regular.  I drink only water now, with an occasional tea.  I count my calories and eat normal meals.  I just stop eating now when I'm full."


"I've been on lryica for a month now. 150 mg 2x a day.  It works wonders for the awful muscle spasms and fibromyalgia pain but I do have side effects. I have to do every thing from chores to running errands before I take it. Once I take I become unbalanced, forget words and become extremely tired. I sleep a lot and very heavy and usually can't remember the previous day. I definitely cannot function after I take it. I don't care for the side effects but so far has been the only thing that has worked for me. I tried cymbalta, neurton, zanaflex, flexeral lots of things. To me its worth taking the lryica as those terrible rib and back spasms keep at bay..and after two years of dealing with those I don't ever want to again. btw does kill my appetite."


"Constipation was causing pain and I could not relieve myself. I never take anything for this. I took 2 pills about an hour ago and have already had a bearable bowel movement. Great relief. Worked quickly. Hoping no cramps, pain or irritable bowel to come over the next few hours. So far, so good. I will use again if needed. By the way I drank plenty of water, so that may have helped me avoid the cramping. "


"Due to the blood pressure medicines I take, I cannot tolerate Viagra or Cialis. I tried my 1st MUSE (500mg) a few days ago.  Since it was my 1st dose, my wife and I about missed the window.  I don't believe the 500mg will be enough in the future.  I suspect I'll need the 1000mg.  The erection wasn't quite as firm as the Viagra and Cialis.  But because it had little or no side effect with respect to my blood pressure, it will be a winner for us."


"I liked the implant at first but the side effects are not worth it! I am a pretty happy person but this has made me depressed, exhausted and made me gain weight. I have crazy mood swings and it gets a 100 times worse during my irregular cycle. My last cycle I could barely get myself out of bed and cry most days. It's putting a strain on my relationship. I'm getting it removed as soon as possible. I miss my normal, happy self."


"I got this on Tuesday, took it out Friday! I have never been so sick on birth control ever. I was sluggish barely able to walk, dizzy, nausea was my best friend like seriously. Three days! "


"I cant even tell I took it .

I feel it is not helping .

NO Symptoms"


"I used Monistat 7 for the first time tonight, and the itching and burning were so severe that I had to get up and shower within 15 minutes. I will not continue with this medication. I am going to call my doctor tomorrow for an appointment to get diflucan."


"Been taking oxybutynin 20 mg for over 20 years. Used to go pee every 20 minutes, now it's approx. 2 hours. The dry mouth is tolerable....use Biotene mouth spray or chew gum."


"My daughter is 7 years old and was found to have ADHD when she was 6 years old. To my dismay we found out too late and she had to repeat the first grade over. Now she has been on Adderall for almost a year and is a straight A student with good conduct. She has made a complete turn around from an uncontrollable child with compulsive behavior and a severe attention deficit problem to being a model student who loves school and is proud of who she is now and all the accomplishments she has made. We are so proud of her and how far our little girl has come. Straight A's we never thought it would happen. We knew she was very intelligent, but she needed help showing everyone. Now she can do it all."


"I switched to this medicine (from Camrese) mainly suffering from a very decreased sex drive and heavy periods, with very dismal mood swings.  This medicine fixed all of that (yay!).  Additionally, periods are very light, lasting about 2 days.  I have not had any additional problems with weight, acne, etc.  I would highly recommend giving this a shot if you are having problems with other, heavier dose meds!"


"This stuff is really a Miracle Pill. It works fast relieving my cramps within 10 to 15 minutes! I can drink coffee again! The only problem I have with it is the headache I get afterwards. It makes me drowsy, but for the most part, I can still function."


"I have been on this birth control for 3 months now. At first I didn't really notice anything, but recently I have realized that I have gained a couple pounds, even though I work out 5 times a week and eat relatively healthy. The worst part is my mood- I'll be happy-go-lucky one second, then become a psycho emotional wreck the next. I flip out about EVERYTHING and get really upset; I used to be very mellow and laid back. However, it has really cleared up my skin and my period is regular now."


"After having my gallbladder removed 2 years ago I have been battling IBS-D.  I have been on Welchol for about 2 years and it's ok, not great but ok. I was taking 1 a day but I think it needs to be upped to 2. My doctor gave me Viberzi to try, I put it off for a while then finally took it. Days 1-2 were great. Days 3- 4 went down hill fast. by day 5 I was staying within 5 feet of the bathroom. I didn't realize one of the side effects was dizziness (since I have vertigo I figured my allergies were acting up), weakness & major gas. I had to stop taking it so I could actually go to work. I think I'll buy stock in Immodium. I am very disappointed this didn't work, so many people worse off then I am did well on it. It's so frustrating."


"I will agree this treatment is hard, but don't be put off. The first time I did my course of 2 tablets in morning and 2 at night followed by weekly injection it was hard, but no harder than the heroin habit I had was. The virus cleared up after 20 weeks,which they shouldn't have told me, as I stopped taking the treatment but didn't tell my doctor (I told you its not easy). Sadly the virus returned as I had not got rid of it, it was just undetectable in the count per mill of blood and came back. I am now into my 2nd treatment after a 3year rest. This time I'm sticking it out. I am from UK Under Bradford NHS and love the staff there for all their help...."


"I was just diagnosed with IIH/PTC last week.  My neuro started me on Diamox the same day.  Although I have had tingling in my hands and feet as well as lethargy, the pressure behind my eyes has already started to go down.  My ophthalmologist was very pleased today with the optic nerve scan and said there has been decrease of pressure in both eyes.  A little tingle here or there and a bit of sleepiness is worth saving my vision!  So far, I'm a happy girl!"


"Right before bed I felt the tingle and saw the tiny hint of a cold sore. Not new to this, and knowing I couldn't get prescription meds until the next day, I sent my husband to the store to get Abeva. I applied it that night and in the morning and again mid morning. I went to the doctor in the afternoon to get a prescription medication. Before I got home from the pharmacy I had a HUGE cold sore. I took the meds and continued the Abreva. The cold sore continued to grow in size and is hideous. I stopped the Abreva and am using Petroleum on the lip with the medication. It's slowly getting better now. I'll never use Abreva ever again."


"My previous birth control worked wonderfully, beautiful skin and I did not get pregnant. However, my PMS became  difficult to deal with, headaches, nausea, and fatigue. My doctor suggested I try LoSeasonique to avoid the PMS. I must say I was very scared because of all the negative reviews I found on the internet. I am happy to say it has been eights weeks and I am symptom free, no spotting, and best of all no PMS. One important thing I do is to stick to my 10 pm schedule everyday. I noticed they stressed this in the pamphlet, which made me concerned things might go wrong if I did not follow. Overall I am very pleased especially since I have not taken any pain killers the entire time. Hope this helps."


"It is a good medicine to treat certain mental conditions."


"If I could give this medicine a 0/10 I would! It made me breakout when my skin had been close perfect, it caused me to be sick and have bowel problems. It made my pcos worse! I had mood swings and it killed my sex drive. A weird thing was it made my taste buds swell too, that was the worst thing!"


"I've had it in for about 2.5 years.  My menstrual cycle had been like 6 months on 6 months off.  In every other way it's great. When it's on I bleed super heavy."


"I am a 51 yr old male with cervical  degenerative disc disease. I've been on 10 mg Norco for approximately 3.5 years but recently my Doctor changed me to 7.5 mg Percocet because I've become tolerant to the Norco. My pain level hovers around 4 or 5 constantly but the Percocet allows me to maintain. Thanks for this medicine."


"I've had zero nausea, but zero sex drive and I have a hard time concentrating at work. I've been taking 20 mg for about 6 weeks. I take it at bedtime. I have been very sluggish and have gained about 10 pounds. I also have terrible gas so I have to take gas pills daily.  It has helped with my depression, but my job is suffering because I cannot concentrate at all. I'm thinking of asking my doctor to change my med because I will get fired soon if I keep this up! I no longer want to kill myself, but soon I will be obese, unemployed and sleepy. Then I will be more depressed..."


"I took Lo Loestrin for 3mo, with horrible side effects the entire time! My Dr. wanted me to stick it out for 3 months before switching to give my body time to get used to it. It was the worst 3mo of my life. I was nauseous CONSTANTLY especially with physical exercise. I would have to sit down from walking because I would get to dizzy/ nauseous from it. I started the pills on Day 1 of my period and then bled the ENTIRE 3MO! Not just spotting either. The only time it was spotting was for the 7 days when I was supposed to get my period each month, the rest of the time was HORRIBLE heavy bleeding. The worst part though was the anxiety and depression. I cried every every single day. Couldn't get out of bed, and had anxiety attacks. Ended up switching pills."


"Worked well, but I got low blood sugar a few times"


"I LOVE Epiduo! I clears my skin up and makes my skin so beautiful. I'm in love with my face and I'm not self conscious anymore! I have a few small zits occasionally but they aren't noticeable to anyone but myself. So in love with Epiduo."


"taking 62 units, used to use lantus with no problem, have had major problem last month or so with pounding heart, and rapid pulse. Heart problem comes any time during the day, and is getting increasingly more of a constant...going to go back to Lantus, and that is too bad, but can not deal with side effects."


"While this medicine helped, and really did snuff out the symptoms associated with my trauma disorder. It also had so many side effects. Taking it would put me into a sleepy sort of fog, and felt very out of it. We then tried Minipress, and have had much more success with that. I now use Abilify as an emergency medicine. It acts as a great last resort to stop all of the overly emotional symptoms associated with an attack/flash back, and helps put you back in a better place, even if it gets a bit foggy.  I haven't used it for a couple weeks now, but I haven't also worked on the trauma issues for a while as well. I'd give it a 10 for rare emergency use, and a 5 for day to day use due to its side effects, thus the 7"


"After several preventative and rescue meds failed, my headache specialist prescribed methergine. This medication has saved my life. I suffer from chronic migraine with aura and chronic cluster headaches. They were daily and it got to the point that I was thinking of ending things because the pain was so intense. I took this medication for 14 months and they've been the greatest 14 months of my life. My migraines started when I was 8 years old, I'm 27 now and didn't seem treatment until I was 20. My new doctor is taking me off the methergine because she worries about the risk of fibrosis. I'm terrified to stop taking it. This is truly the greatest medication and I suggest it to every chronic migraine sufferer I meet."


"I first started the Depo Provera shot on the first day of my period like Doctor had recommended and told me.... My period lasted for 3 weeks then I didn't have a period for a week. After that I literally only had a week break from each of my period. They were not lighter nor were they less painful they have actually been more painful. Come time for me to get my second shot I spoke with my doctor about these issues they said it usually goes away in the second shot so I took the second one I've literally been on my period for the past 6 months I thought it stopped for a minute but it was only for about 8 hours and it came back with vengeance. It has made me break out painfully all over my body each month when a normal peroid would happen..."


"I tried many medications and many combinations with little or no effect.  As a last effort, I turned to the internet and stumbled across some positive info about Nardil.  It took awhile to even find a doctor that would prescribe it.  I have now been on 90 mgs for around four or five years and it works very well with few unwanted side effects.  I take it in combination with 20mgs of Zyprexa for a very severe form of generalized anxiety that I have."


"Plan B One Step really works. I know you're probably nervous and worrying about the effectiveness, but I just want to tell you to relax. Let me just tell you my story, I had sex February 4th and the condom broke. So me and my boyfriend drove to the pharmacy and purchased the Plan B One Step. I took it, so it was about 20-30 mins after the incident happened that I took the pill. I began to feel one symptom about 1 hr later, I was extremely tired, and had little energy. It lasted for 2 days then wore off. So I was expecting my period about a month away so I went crazy. I missed one period and finally got my one 12 days after my missed period. So Plan B actually works."


"Had a ingrown toenail infection. Was given 500mg keflex taken 4 times a day for 7 days.

It is working and I have no pain in my toe. However... so far I've had diarrhea, stomach pain, extreme tiredness and weakness, dizzy spells, yellow skin, loss of appetite, nauseous, red scratchy eyes. So most of the usual stuff. The long and short of it is my toe will be healed as long as I can deal with the side effects for a few more days."


"I've been on Accutane for almost 4 months now. My skin is getting better everyday and I'm really happy with the physical results. However, Accutane began to give me depression during the first week and it has stuck with me since. Although the side effect has not gotten worse (and won't, I've asked my dermatologist). It's definitely not good and I've read that it won't go away until a few months after I have finished my course. NOTE: I had already suffered depression before beginning the course & it is hereditary in my family."


"Annoyed when they first gave me this but appears to be working well. Runs out fast though and dries out the skin a lot."


"I love this medicine! I have never experienced break through bleeding and have been on it for a year and a half now.  I had tried everything before this, generic birth control (made me emotionally crazy), the Nuvaring (could never remember to put it back in and it bothered him), Mirena (the wire bothered him) -- finally found this after all that and it's all about me -- NO PERIODS!  NO CRAMPING.  NO MESS.  Life, normal... everyday."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"Originally prescribed Provigil for sleep apnea, or at least that is what my doctors said so that my insurance would pay for it, however my sleep study was done a long time ago when I weighed more and insurance has recently stopped paying. I actually take the medication due to 2 previous head injuries. I have been on the medication for about 4-5 years. During that time I have returned to work and school to pursue a nursing degree. Off of the Provigil I have to take a nap every day, begin to forget things, and fail my classes at school. I have had to make many lifestyle changes since my accidents and taking Provigil really helps me. I am a single mom of 2 teenagers and just want close to normal life as possible."


"I'm 58 and recently started on this medicine. Almost immediate relief of vulvar dryness and pain. Not sure yet if the painful intercourse will be relieved but this looks optimistic to me after many months of intense pain. Medicine does not seem gooey or even noticeable when used. Really like it so far."


"been taking Nplate for 4  years

I take N Plate weekly . No side affects . Been keeping my count above 50 most of the time higher

count is over 100,000"


"I was on this one for several years and the longer I was on it the more tender and painful my breasts became."


"I took the pill twice. I didn't have any symptoms with it. The first time my period was 4 days late. And the second time I missed it for a whole month! I was totally freaking out thinking I was pregnant.  I took 2 pregnancy test, they were negative. And surely the following month my period was back in track."


"I didn't give it a 10 as I have only been on it a week now, just started doubling up. But my appetite and cravings went away as soon as I started the medicine. I do have constipation, but I eventually go. Hoping it wares off, no headaches or nausea. Day 2 of doubling up and I just feel as I did when I took 1 , just the effect of my suppressed appetite just lasts longer. Which is great bc I don't snack at night anymore which was a huge thing for me. I haven't weighed myself, I'm going to wait after the 1st month until I see me
Dr again. I like this combo of meds because I do feel happier from the buprorion and my appetite is suppressed and cravings for sweets are no longer there. It's crazy how the receptors in your mind can change like that."


"I have had the Mirena now for 3 years.  The insertion was painful but after an hour I felt fine other than mild cramping. I spotted a day or so after insertion. I ended up only having 4 light periods after that each month and then haven't had a period ever since.  However, the bloating and headaches still come at the same time every month.  It is great to not have a period. Mine used to be very heavy that always lasted the 7 days.  I have noticed recently though that my back pain is something that doesn't seem to go away after the false cycle ends. Other than this, my experience has been great."


"No side effects. Long lasting (about 1 year), and was even effective for filling in my jaw line."


"I got the Implanon in August of 2008. I was a emotional wreck for the first 2-3 months; very intense mood swings.  Since I have been on it I have gained close to 40 lbs. in the past 2 1/2 years; although some of it can be from quitting smoking.  Periods were not an issue for the first year, but that is because the hormones from my Depo were still active.  Starting my 2nd year on Implanon I bled for 7 months straight.  My doctor put me on a month of LoEsterin Pills; this helped for a few months.  Now I have very spotty bleeding, no menstrual control at all.  I will be researching other methods of birth control, hopefully I find something that I am not affected by so many of the side effects."


"Lifesaver! Had been on a bunch of others that did next to nothing and the side effects were awful. Within a couple weeks of started Edarbyclor 40/12.5 I was down to 125/85 from 165/95. I also found a pharmacy where they are able to sell it to me for $10/month with their discount card!"


"I ended up going to the ER because of a several day migraine, and was given this plus Benadryl and a steroid. I've been to the ER once before for a week-long migraine and the nurse asked what I was given. I told them the last time I was given something that made me shiver and shake uncontrollably for 20-30 minutes. He said that's the Reglan, but at this particular hospital they like to put it through the IV as a drip slowly;  Not fast as pushing it through a syringe into the patient's system can cause the reaction I had before. I did not shake or shiver like before, with the cocktail of meds I became very sleepy and my muscles felt loose, and dozed for a little while. Much better reaction than before!!!"


"From the get go it was not good. Yes the doctors gave me the informational pamphlet and yes they listed the possible side effects, but even after reading many many reviews of mirena that stated how bad the thing messed with some people's hormones I thought... no not me. I should be fine, plus the doctor assured me I would probably be period free and most women go symptom free. Birth control that i've used in the past never affected me much, but mirena was no bueno for me. Weight gain, terrible sluggishness, acne like a mother and continuous bleeding. I seriously felt depressed absolutely zero motivation to work out or do active things like I normally do. I got it removed right away."


"I have taken Belviq for two weeks only lost 2 pounds. belviq has no effect on me I cut grass to help make extra money on the side. That's the only time I see any weight lost. I was doing that before belviq this medicine has slow me down makes me tired. I execise less with belviq. I cant believe they want 200 hundred dollars for these pill not worth it. all diets if you exercise and eat right work with out the pills. Belviq don't even curb my appetite. Very disappointing. the chest and body pain are scary."


"I love Micronor. I have been on it for 2 years, and I'm about to get off it cause I want kids. For the first 3 months, I had some side effects ( tender breast, bloating, cramping, breakthrough bleeding) But after those 3 months, it was PER-FECT! No symptoms, no mood swings ( unless PMS), and sometimes, I would just not have my period, which was fun on summertime. I had tried Alesse, Yaz, Nuvaring, all of them giving me the worst headaches and weightgain. On Micronor, no weight gain, I was dieting so I managed to go from 130 to 115 pounds in two years on that pill. :)"


"Anyone that typed a good review for this product was paid by the company.  I have now tried this product twice and I can now say that it DOES NOT WORK.  It actually has side effects that are not listed:  coughing, irritability, MORE drainage, completely stopped up nostril.  Use at your own risk.  Don't say I didn't warn you."


"Hey everyone. Okay, so like all of you guys (probably) I have not stopped looking up symptoms and a bunch of other stuff on google. I had sex for the first time on the 10th of August which was the last day of my period and a bunch of other times in that week. All were with a condom but on one instance I heard a pop, he said it didn't break but i wanted to be safe. I took the pill 2 days after (a week after my first time). I felt nothing until a week later when my boobs started to hurt, and my back too. I thought i was pregnant.. then a week later after stress stress stress I got my period. Please stop worrying everybody. I know its scary. trust me. But getting in your own head makes it worse! relax. this works. just calm down!"


"Keeps my blood pressure down but for me, the best benefit is it has helped with my bowels. Every other medication I've had is constipating. This has normalized me."


"I first had Nexplanon implanted in April 2015 because of my heavy and painful cramping. I was told that it would be normal for the first 2 or 3 months to spot or bleed, as it was my body becoming used to it. I stuck it out for the first few months and then asked my doctor why I kept bleeding. She told me for some people it may take up to 6 months. I stuck it out until that 6th month and figured that it might just take a little longer than most people. However, I never stopped bleeding. I always had to wear panty liners or light pads. It was never just spotting either; sometimes the bleeding would get so bad it would be like a period. After a year, I got it taken out in May 2016. It's been over a year since and my cycle varies drastically."


"I got it about a month ago and it was quick and painless. The doctor said I have tough skin. It made a small bruise and a little sore. Be careful - use that arm very little like the 1st day or so. If you pull a muscle around that area or move it the wrong way it hurts. I have no periods - I spotted the day I got it and at 1st I was moody but it's great now. I recommend it to everybody."


"I started having trouble about 1 month after i finished my prescription. I have severe joint pain from my hips down. I was a very active person, walking 6-7 miles a day, now i barely get 2 because my feet & knees hurt so bad."


"This medicine is a Godsend. I suffer from SEVERE motion sickness (cars, planes, boats, trains, etc...) Bonine/Dramamine don't work for me at all. I tried the Scop patch and I couldn't believe it, no motion sickness! I was able to make it being a passenger in the car going down the entire pacific coast highway without even feeling slight nausea. If you know what that road is like, you know how crazy that road is for someone with motion sickness. Side effects were light, slight dry mouth, slight dilated pupils, not much drowsiness. Only negative is the withdrawal I had after using 3 patches one after the other, but that was easily controlled with Dramamine. A    "


"I have the same problems as many of the other reviewers. My medication was changed from Avaine to Lutera to Orsythia. I had no problems with Avaine or Lutera but I've been on Orsythia for about a week and I'm experiencing horrible side effects. I've had headaches, moodiness, and cramps. It feels exactly like I'm PMSing and according to other reviewers, I just might be. I'm glad I came here so I can be prepared for a possible mid cycle period."


"This medication completely stopped all of the pain I experienced, to the point that I had to do a body check each night to see if I had hurt myself during the day.  However, within 2 months of starting this medication (a VERY low dose), I was suicidal, and had to be taken off of it at 2 1/2 months.  If it weren't for the side effects, I would give this medication a 10.  Due to the side effects (horrendous, in my opinion), I've given it a 1."


"I realized it's been about 6 days since my last bowel motion.  I took this around 1:00 pm today so I wouldn't have to lose any sleep or deal with it tomorrow at work.  I took it with a swig of water and about 45 minutes later started reading these reviews.  Immediately, I started drinking water and got about 40 ounces down within an hour or so.  I started getting very gassy with very mild cramps around 4:00.  Between 5 and 6pm I passed some soft stool a few times, but knew it wasn't the end based on how long I had went without a bowel motion.  I had a bowl of cereal around 8:00 and by 8:30 I was passing pretty frequently.  I only had extremely mild cramps and a couple hot flashes.  Be sure to drink your water."

"I used to get a shot of this for my psoriasis, and it did clear up everything in less than a week, However I found that the lesions returned within a few months (3). I was advised to not get the kenalog shots more than twice a year because I have a slightly higher enzyme count in my liver."


"I always had perfect skin as a teen until I hit about 24 then it went down hill. Nothing worked, most topical treatments made it worse, Proactive made it worse than worse, Murade and others as well. Nothing worked. Sooo I researched spiro and found my symptoms and timing etc. fit others my age, 37 that dealt with it late in life. I asked my Dermatologist about it and she gave it to me along with a topical gel. I have only been on it about 1 week but I can see the difference already. My skin is evening out, the large pores seem smaller and the hard bumps are nearly gone. I have not had one break out and even my back is much clearer. It is amazing. I don't pee too much more but I do find I get out of breath easily. Seems to be working on my skin"


"Been on for a month and totally love it. Skin is clear, no weight changes, and actually my mood is a little better overall."


"At first I didn't have any side effects but the longer I have taken this medication I have been experiencing headaches. I never used to get headaches before and I have had bloating in my abdominal area.  "


"5 weeks on harvoni and virus is undetectable.  Had hep c for 27 years and minimal scarring. No side effects yet have 3 more weeks of treatmeant"


"I had my insertion May, 2011. I have 2 son's and don't want anymore and neither does my husband. It was a little painful think it was mostly in my head but I took Advil and was fine. Had it done on my lunch hour and went right back to work. I continued to bleed for about a week after that but I expected that. It is now February and I still bleed very lightly every month waiting for that no period but it hasn't happened yet but it's so light I'm okay with that. I haven't gained any weight and no acne and no cramps. I would recommend this and have recommended this to everyone I know because I love it."


"I have tried Amerge, Maxalt, Imitrex, Zomig, Frova and Axert. I liked Amerge but I tended to use 2 pills. Imitrex ALWAYS made me sicker before it helped me. Zomig and Frova took away some of the pain and left the nausea. Maxalt made me so loopy I could hardly think and Maxalt Mlt wasn't as bad but made me so tired I couldn't function at work.  Axert was good but insurance wouldn't cover it but I liked Relpax better because one pill nearly always killed it. In 3 years I have taken 2 pills only twice.

Cons of Relpax:
Expensive and will not go generic soon. Pre-packaged 6 pills to box (ask Pharmacist to put Rx in bottle with label)

Pros:
Low Nausea
One pill takes away episode
Pfizer has $15 off Rx program
Doctor will often give samples"


"Started Lo Lo Estrin Fe 30 days ago as a method of BC due to a trip I'm taking to visit my boyfriend overseas coming up a month from now. Seeing as condoms irritate my body so much & completely dry me out, a BC pill seemed like a great option until I can come home & get the non-hormonal IUD. The break through bleeding on Lo Lo has legitimately been non-stop since about 3 days into the 1st pack; not the extreme period blood I would normally get, but upon wiping when I pee, the paper is always has some sort of dried blood on it. This continued right up until my placebo pills which I just started taking. Cramps all month, irritable as can be, feel a little bit more bloated than normal, but haven't weighed myself."


"I have had my battles with the inability to stay asleep of 10 or 12 years.  Go to sleep just fine but wake up at the 5 hour interval and cannot get back to sleep.  I would get very tired during the day - it was terrible.  I heard of this at Costco and started taking 1/2 tab per night.  Bang!  8 hours of great sleep!!!  I don't have drowsiness and feel like I used to.  It doesn't know me out - I can wake up to go to the bathroom. ( I am over 55 and a guy) but I go right back to sleep.  Love this stuff.  I hope it's not bad for ya because I need  good sleep."


"The 1st application of Xelogel burned so badly I couldn't help making pain-filled noises. What I really wanted to do was scream. I wish my Dr. had warned me. But my rash improved and each day it hurt less to apply the gel. It was amazing to see how quickly the rash disappeared."


"I recently had the implant put in and would like to share my first thoughts; I plan to do an update in 3-6 months. The initial pain of having the implant inserted was mild - I would rate it even less painful than a shot. Your arm will be sore for a few days and there will be bruising, but nothing to get excited about. It has now been 2 weeks and I can't even tell that it is there except when I feel for the implant on purpose. My doctor warned of immediate and persistent bleeding/spotting, but I haven't experienced that so far. I've been losing weight for the past few months (on purpose) and haven't noticed a difference since the implant. No major issues with acne. Everybody is different, but don't let the negative reviews scare you!"


"*update from spookyblack* I forgot to mention the terrible nightmares I have been having they are really messed up,  and break through bleeding. This pill has made me super tired, depressed, and have gnarly mood swings. I have been eating a lot and have gained a lot of weight. Great just in time for summer right? I have felt the worse about myself and looks ever since I started this pill. Please don't do this to yourself and not to mention the nasty acne I, and so many girls have experienced."


"This medication was horrible! I don't take medication to begin with but agreed with the doctor on this one because my nausea was so bad. I slept for 17 hours straight, when i finally woke up i was weak and hallucinating. On top of that I felt extremely depressed , negative and suicidal. Which is absolutely not like me, I am a very chipper happy person and I've never suffered from depression or suicidal thoughts. I live a very healthy fulfilling life and for a medication to do that to someone should not be sold on the market. I really did not like this medication though it did take the nausea away the other symptoms that came with it were not worth it. If I could rate this medication with a negative number I would. Going to stick to myginger"


"Good."

"I dreaded so did not have a colonoscopy until I had to. The doctor saw my trepidation so gave me Supra to take, since you would be able to drink less. He told me the prep would be, as I have heard, terrible but the procedure was easy.  I did not read anything on line about Supra, as I didn't want to "scare" myself. But maybe I should have. The first bottle tasted awful but I got it down, and drank the required water within the hour. The second bottle was vile, had a huge problem getting it down. Now I wish I had seen the hints with mixing it with Crystal Light, or having a lemon handy. Funny, others said the second bottle was worse also. Never would have been able to drink the double dose. Procedure easier than prep as dr. said."


"54 year old male with very mild erectile dysfunction, probably just performance anxiety if I'm honest, and some benign prostate hyperplasia.  Otherwise fit and healthy and trying to age gracefully.  Been taking Cialis 5mg for 3 weeks now and it has been amazing.  Felt like I was 24 and could get hard just catching the wife's eye or thinking about sex. Lots of spontaneous erections and absolutely no side effects whatsoever.  My urinary symptoms have also improved although more slowly.  As I was turning into something of a sex pest I have been cutting down the frequency to one tab every second day with no apparent loss of potency although the urinary improvements have sort of slowed down.  For my next pack I may try Day 1 morning, Day 2 evening, Day 3 skip, Day 4 as Day 1, etc. and monitor."


"I took this for 2 years and got a light wallet and lung cancer."


"I was diagnosed with actinic keratosis in August and then decided to apply the Efudex cream to face in the middle of September.
I thought that I only had a couple of spots which I was concerned about but after applying the cream to my forehead, temples, cheeks, nose, around the eyes and my ears it became quite apparent that there were a vast amount of areas that had been affected.
In the First week I saw that these areas became inflamed although not painful.
In the  second week these areas started to merge together and then look like blisters and sores on my face, especially below my eyes.
In the third week these started to scab a little and became a bit painful I think due to the skin feeling very dry. I am now in my fourth and final week"


"I found that my trip was overruled by the dizziness, vertigo, insomnia, lack of appetite, and general feeling of unwellness this medication caused.  I quit taking it on day 5, in order to be fully aware of myself and surroundings for the remainder of my trip."


"I was prescribed this medication in the hospital after suffering severe anxiety attacks. I was only given a couple to get me through until I see my doctor but I found out the doctors are unwilling to give you this medication. I have anxiety attacks everyday but this medication makes me stay calm so I don't suffer from these awful anxiety attacks. I feel relief and that I can go on."


"Had been struggling for about a week to go regularly so I decided to try something new. I took 3 pills  @10pm  with a 16oz bottle of water and woke up @3am with horrible cramping that lasted about 3hrs but  overall it got the job done. I would definitely recommend this just not the dosage I would start with one....good luck"


"Stelara's been a great for me. I'm 64, have had Crohn's for 50 years and undiagnosed for 20 years until my mid-30's. I'm now in the best shape I've been in decades--no cramping pain for 3 years since starting injections. Been biking 30 miles a week, playing flag football and basketball, working with weights and a trainer 3x weekly. No side effects--yay!"


"I take 5mg prior to sexual activity. This dosage produces strong and lasting erections. Mild side-effects are tolerable (blushing sensation, mild stomach upset). Great product."


"I have been taking Paroxetine for hot flushes which were debilitating at work, I didn't sleep always throwing the covers off/on.  It has also helped with my anxiety and panic attacks at work, and mood swings at home that were affecting my marriage, initially i did feel dizzy and had no appetite, it has been 2 months now and I feel so much better on the medication i have also lost 5 kilos due to loss of appetite, very happy,"

"Prescribed for me in ER when I was there for nausea and vertigo from Irritable Bowel Syndrome...probably the ONLY medicine I ever took that worked immediately and did just what it advertised...truly effective medicine!"


"I was given Ondansetron because I suffer from Hyperemesis gravidarum..(severe sickness in pregnancy) since 6 weeks pregnant I take this drug every morning after my morning sickness so the rest of the day am not vomiting out everything I eat. It does work but it makes me feel like a zombie too, feel unwell all the time!"


"Well I TOO am up right now, 3:07am. I thought it was my cough, which had a lot to do with it, but I was laying down causing the drip. Weird dreams, Yes. "


"I'm on Protopic 0,1% for only two days, and it has helped a lot, i think, in a week of daily usage two times per day, my AD will be gone. It has made HUGE improvement already. Only First time made my skin abnormaly itchy, as well as burning sensation followed, but in my second day, these bad sensations has decreased a lot, only itches a bit. I really am excited about this medication, very grayeful to doctor who prescribed Protopic. I feel really happy at the moment, after years and years of depressed mood and damaged skin."


"I am not sure yet if it is coincident or not, but shortly after starting Cosentyx, I experienced extreme pain while urinating to the point of even passing blood.  I was taken off the medication for approximately 2 months for other medical issue including UTI and started seeing a slight improvement. (at this time we didn't consider that this could be a side effect) I was given the start up dose again because of the gap in treatment and by 3rd shot (start up dose) I was experiencing extreme pain again.    I have been taken off the medication again to see if the bladder pain will improve.   Not thinking what I am experiencing is worth taking the medication.  While on the medication I do not feel there was any improvement to the arthritis pain."


"This medicine has saved my life. Just praying that my liver enzymes are staying normal, don't know what would happen if I have to stop taking it."


"At my annual eye appointment my Dr. officially dx dry eye. I used Xiidra for a total of 5 weeks. It began providing relief to my dry eye symptoms within a week of applying 1 drop in each eye daily. It burned on initial use, but within 2 weeks the burning subsided. I did have blurry vision for about 15 minutes, burning, and a bad taste in my mouth. All of these symptoms did not seem that bad. But, I did have a serious reaction that I feel is caused by Xiidra.  Within four days I experienced a total vitreous detachment in one eye (floaters) and elevated eye pressures in both eyes. I'm in my 40's and no history of glaucoma. After discontinuing Xiidra- my eye pressure returned to normal within 3 weeks and I've learned to ignore the floaters."


"My original intent with Topamax was never weight loss, (mood) nor would have I ever believed the results I've obtained 19 months later. Quick negatives-my mental agility decreased significantly, I misspell my own name; most food & beverages taste like rubbish; and, the generic version is subpar. I was always overweight, I'm mid-30s, male, & slimmed from 275 to low 180s, size 42 to 32, XXL to L. It stays off! Still drop a few lbs. every month. However it's impossible for me to get off, I tried once and I went into a severe depression, but I'm a healthy weight now with perfect blood pressure."


"I respond great to contrave.  I've been on it 3 weeks and I've lost 10 pounds.  I have reduced the number of calories I eat down to 2000 but sometimes I eat less and sometimes I eat more.  I am 5'9 382 pounds.  I have stopped drinking soda as well so I'm sure that helps.  I was on this medication before and lost 50 pounds but had to quit due to the cost and gained all the weight back.  Hopefully this time I will lose the weight and keep it off."


"This medicine (Xanax) works effectively and quickly to resolve anxiety and panic attacks.  However, I found that after I went on the antidepressant Pristiq, the Xanax made me fall asleep.  I had to switch off of the Xanax as it was too sedating.  At this point, I have another benzodiazepine that I can use if I have to but Pristiq has been keeping most of my panic attacks away.  "


"I have a 5 month old, did the deed with my bf on November 15, after a failed pull out attempt, I went and got the plan b pill, took it within 12 hours of doing the deed, sure enough (bfp) big fat positive test yesterday on November 27th. It was confirmed through urine test, blood test, and pelvic exam. That was the only time we've done it since the birth of our daughter. It proved ineffective for me."


"I started Saxenda on the 6th of September  at 0.6mg and each week up by 0.6, in 3 weeks I have lost 4lbs which is disappointing (I know we all want a wonder cure!) My appetite  has definitely reduced, eating far less but then on other days really hungry. Side effects of dizziness seem to be my enemy along with peeing much less so definitely upping my water intake. Occasional bruising from the jabs but other than that not a lot :)

Not sure yet if I will get another pack - any tips for really losing the beef whilst on this? x"


"I really wanted to like this birth control. It cleared up my acne significantly and my period was light and around two days. Unfortunately about a month and I half into it I started itching like CRAZY. Anywhere I scratched little red bumps would come to the surface of my skin. I had no idea what was going on and thought I was allergic to my new deodorant and it took me about two weeks to decide to go to the doctor. She told me I was the second person to come in on the same BC with the same problems! She had me immediately stop taking it and the itching stopped within the next couple of days. Another note, this BC did make me extremely moody. So maybe it was for the best I was allergic to it!"


"During the month I took Cymbalta, it helped relieve my fatigue and may or may not have helped with some of my pain.  When I first started taking it, I felt completely drunk all the time, but these side effects got better after two weeks.  I was unable to sleep for more than three hours at a time and had a very hard time falling back to sleep, and this is why my doctor took me off of this medicine.  Although it helped with my fatigue, not getting enough sleep meant I was very tired.  I also experienced severe constipation (bleeding with every bowel movement, which was about once or twice every two weeks), my sex drive completely disappeared, and I constantly felt dizzy. "


"I haven't been on birth control for a few years but I have used two different brands and this has got to be the worst one I've ever been on, I lasted all of two days.
I read the side effects and reviews but wanted to try it out for myself and I will have to agree with all the negative reviews on the pill. My side effects were really bad nausea, mood swings and severe anxiety. I would go from wanting to cry, punch someone or total sadness in a matter of minutes. I know your body has to adjust but going through just two days of what I went through I decided to stop taking it, I would say try at your own risk!"


"I've been struggling with ibs-d for a couple years now tried a lot of different things went through round after round of testing all to come back negative. They tried me on the 75 mg viberzi due to me not having a gall bladder I've been on it about 3 weeks. Everytime I would take it within a half hour I had what felt like horrible gall bladder attacks extremely weak, dizzy, and faint. I gave it another week thinking I needed to get used to it. My doctor now took me down to a one a day if the side effects go away I'll be taken off of it. I have mixed feelings the side effects are not worth it but it was something that finally gave me relief from running to the bathroom all the time."


"If I were to just review this drug from an anxiety/fear of social interaction standpoint, I would say that Lexapro is awesome. Lexapro has stopped me from having tremors every time someone talked to me out of the blue, and I do not mind being in the spotlight anymore during classes. For (group) presentations, I still feel physical symptoms and my tremor building up, but not nearly as much as I did without Lexapro. My biggest fear happens to be giving presentations and this is what I am taking it for primarily. I think if I were to do a standalone presentation, I would still have A LOT of difficulty focusing on the topic at hand but not because of anxiety. This drug makes it very hard for me to focus in school. Hope to go down to 5mg from 10"


"Hey y'all it's me again. I finished using this product over Saturday night. No itching or burning or pain during the three days. (Well besides the slight itching the first night). An I feel a lot better down in that region. But now with it going on Tuesday tomorrow I'm having a reddish/orange discharge/clumps almost to the same extent of a period but not quite it. Quite nervous about that but I saw on yahoo answers that it's normal depending on how bad the YI was. I can recommend this product to other people & I say I believe it's worked. (I'm not a doctor so I don't know for sure) Just make sure to take Tylenol before & have ice cubes on standby because I know those can relieve symptoms others have reviewed having."


"Monsternessa.

I was nauseated for the first two weeks of being on it. I've had on and off headaches since I've started and have been bloated for the past two months. My boyfriend says that I've been extra sensitive and my sex drive is gone. The only time I felt normal is when I was on my period and not taking the active pills. It did make my period shorter (3Days).

Unfortunately, Monsternessa is not for me. I gained 8lbs since I've been on it and an emotional wreck. I can't wait to see my gyno next week and switch it up."


"Deplin has given me my life back. It has enabled me to gain control of my emotional roller coaster, my anger outbursts and become a more down to earth person who is now approachable - when before I wasn't. I was lucky, my therapist recommended me to be tested for MTHFR because I also have Factor V Leiden and MTHFR is found higher in those with Factor V (both are genetic disorders). After my results, she gave me Deplin and the next day I woke up a new person. My husband and family are amazed and I'm now capable of being the wife and mother that I want to be. I am so happy - and so amazed. And I feel WHOLE again."


"Worked amazing for sleep for 5 of the 8 months I took it, and chronic insomnia, when left untreated, is a big trigger for my bipolar.  After the sleep side effect wore off & it failed to do anything for a depressive episode (& had not helped mixed mania episodes earlier), I discontinued it.  But those 5 months of sleep - they felt really natural, not drugged, easy to wake up from if you had to and go back to sleep, and no grogginess in the morning.  Side effects: slight pinky tremor at times, and it made me produce lots of alive - I would drool like a basset hound on my pillow at night.  If you go for this, ask your doc to prescribe the black cherry flavor - I did not find that to be too bad!"


"A couple of weeks after taking Vraylar I started noticing that (as having Bipolar 2) my moods weren't really changing. Finally, sometime near the third week, I started noticing that I was pacing, couldn't seem to concentrate on anything, and had a hard time simply sitting down. I realized that it was making me manic. I DO NOT AT ALL would want anyone else to take this if anyone notices these side effects. I am going to stop it immediately, I nearly had a breakdown. Could not stop crying. Also going to talk to my doctor about it, but I can't continue it. I wasn't even paying for it because I was taking a sampler, and my doctor was going to give me a voucher to see if my insurance would take it."


"This medicine really works. The only problem I occur was having a rash from eating Chinese food."


"Had zero effect except impotence. This drug is over rated."


"I have Crohns Disease and irritable bowel syndrome. I have been through a lot getting all this under control. I have been on Librax for about a week and the pain after eating has almost gone away completely. Although I'm very tired and kind of out of it but I am hoping those side effects go away very soon."


"The only migraine medication that has worked for me is this one. Side effects for me personally: Increased urination (paler than usual), skin sensitivity (notice when getting into bath), 'floaty' feeling and feeling a bit weaker than usual. Other than this the headache usually goes within an hour and a half or so.  For me it's worth the side effects. This could be coincidence but I'm also mentioning here that I have started to suffer from tinnitus as my ears ring a lot more now (coincidence?) since taking this medication about 7 years ago. Just an observation, as this has never been listed as a side effect."


"ABSOLUTELY THRILLED.  I'M AMAZED.

I just turned 52-YO but have suffered from incontinence for the last few years and seem to go through 2 to 3 "super-plus" Poise or Tena each day, plus one at night.

I saw an ad on TV yesterday for Oxytrol and bought a 4-pack ($16.99) on my lunch hour and put one on about 1:15pm.

And while certainly NOT recommended for someone with my condition, my co-workers and I go out on Mondays for a few cocktails and I always make sure I have extra 'pads' in my purse.

We're talking LESS THAN 5-HOURS and a few Miller Lites, I stayed totally dry and only leaked when I was just about to sit down on the toilet.  THAT IS A MIRACLE."


"First I would like to state that I've read.  the comments & reviews on zubsolv in this thread, and I have to say that I think the positive reviews are BS. I think the pharmaceutical company paid people to write the reviews. Zubsolv is horrible! 3 hours after taking my dose I go into full-blown withdrawal. I'm in a long-term treatment center and everyone who has switch from suboxone to zubsolv mirrors what I'm saying. No matter what is being said, the Buprenorphine in zubsolv is not the same as Suboxone. Zubsolv is great if you want to be in withdrawal all day. Thanks, but no thanks"


"This medicine works to get me to sleep and stay asleep. HOWEVER I quickly become dependent on it and cant get to sleep without it so I can't take it as needed. Also I noticed that I seem to need larger doses rapidly. My insomnia issues are generally manageable if I avoid caffeine and don't eat too close to bedtime."


"Been on this medicine for a long time. 10 years. It decreased my seizures a lot and my headaches. Also decreased my appetite and I've lost weight which I have no problem with. Out of all seizure medicines I've been on I highly suggest this one!"


"At 35 years old I thought i was over 'teenage acne' and my recent issues were hormonal. Over the past few of years I've used every face wash possible!
I go on holiday in 2 weeks and had the worst break out ever! I didn't want to go on holiday looking like a child's dot to dot book, so I visited my doctor who gave me this gel.
I've used it for only 3 nights and the spots are already 5 times better than they were! The red blotches from previous spots are also pretty much vanished.
Yes its left my face dry and a bit tight, so make sure you use a good quality moisturiser once you've washed the gel off your face in the morning. I'd recommend reapplying moisturisturiser a couple of times through the day. Looking forward to seeing the full results!"


"Xanax has helped me so much for my depression and panic attacks. Even has helped a lot with my obsessive compulsive disorder. I don't have nearly as many compulsions since I've started taking it."
