"Been taking Apri for about 2 1/2 months and I've gained about 10lbs, my sex drive is extremely low and I'm really moody for no apparent reason. It's really interfering with my relationship. I also have been having chest pains and I feel a heaviness in my chest when I wake up. When my period came on after the first month I had really bad cramps. The only reason I gave it a 3 is because I have an irregular period and it came on time while taking Apri."


"Well obviously I had sex with my boyfriend the week I was ovulating. The condom broke so we bought the pill just incase, I took the pill less than an hour later. I didn't feel any side effects other than a little cramping, I got my period out of no where yesterday and it was a week early. I am so relieved! It might be expensive but it's so worth it!"


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"Without this medicine I fall asleep frequently. I fall asleep while having breakfast, tying my shoes, reading the news, waiting at traffic lights. Without this my lifestyle is one of sleeping more than I am awake. Having it has changed my life, I can function in a normal way, it does not seem to have any negative side effects. I can't be part of life without it."


"It worked great to lower my blood pressure, but I was extremely dizzy, awful dry mouth and a very low heart rate [41] so my doctor took me off clonidine right away."


"I've been on the Nuvaring for 2 years now and I love it! I was previously on Lo-ovral, but after my gastric bypass, my body wouldn't absorb the pill correctly, giving me acne, mood swings, and breakthrough bleeding. My gynecologist suggested the Nuvaring and I've loved it since then,
I have no mood swings, no weight gain. I do get bloating when I'm on my period. I'm a chronic migraine sufferer, but it only pops up in the beginning of my period. I tried to switch back to oral contraceptive last summer because Nuvaring is expensive, even with insurance, but my body didn't tolerate it well. Overall it's a great product. I don't have issues with the ring slipping out. My only issue is the cost."


"This is the second medication I've taken for urinary incontinence and it doesn't work very well for me."


"I have UC and get a colonoscopy every year...the ONLY good thing about this whole procedure is getting 1 to 2mg of versed in the prep area and just before they give me propofol. I think it's one of the greatest drugs out there, so much euphoria, everything is awesome, calmness, all the anxiety, and any stress you have is gone!!! Wonderful drug, just wish it would last slightly longer. regardless high recommend if your going to get a out patient surgery or in my case a colonoscopy"


"I have epilepsy, anxiety problems, headaches, social problems, PMDD and OCD, this is my all all in one pill. Helps my anxieties and my headaches even my raging hormone levels. I don't know how crazy I would be without it."


"I been taking lisinopril about 3 months ago I have to said it works for me until now, I been having body aches, stomach pain, dry cough and also confusion..I haven't take it for the last couple of day and my blood pressure is 156/91 I'm afraid to take it again..I've been trying home remedies to lower my blood pressure..beware of this medication!!"


"I rated a 2 because I'm not sure how I feel about this birth control yet. I had it put in on dec 29th. So far nexplanon hasn't been my cup of tea I am even considering having it removed due to I've been bleeding for over 2 weeks now, my mood swings are horrible my husband noticed a total change in me and I've become very depressed. I cry for absolutely no reason and am always feeling down. I am not in the mood for anything! It's hard being I am a mom of 3 boys 5 3 and 1 so you can imagine my frustration. My arm is still sore and I can't stretch it straight out much because I feel like I am pinching a nerve or something. It is very sensitive from where it was placed to my mid-arm. I'll give it another month and see how I feel about it then."


"I used sprintec to switch my period for a trip, and it worked for that, which is why I give it two points.

The rest of my experience was not good.

I only took Sprintec for two weeks and had to stop taking it. Here is a list of my bad experience:

-it made me sick to my stomach every single day

- after one week I had continuous breakthrough bleeding due to the low amount of progesterone in the pill

-my period are now irregular. Last month it was 4 days early, this month its 3 days (or more) late

- NOW I have found a bump in my breast, that hurts, and after having a cancer scare...I actually found out it's from the pill. The lack of pregesterone caused it.

So moral of the story...don't take Sprintec."


"I've had a great experience with this medicine. It's something that I've been taking since I was diagnosed in September 2007.  One thing you have to keep in mind is that you HAVE to have your eyes checked at least twice a year."


"Continued... Since then I have had very light periods usually ONCE every 3 months with thick, bloody discharge on the first day and light spotting for 1-2 days after for a total of 3 days. I haven't needed a tampon in nearly 3 years! Pantie liner is all I need, if at all. I do get pms monthly though- cravings, moody, maybe a little breakout but nothing you wouldn't get with any other birth control. I have tried pill, patch, and Nuva Ring-which I liked but it gave me ovarian cysts so I switched to Skyla. I highly recommend Skyla! While it has never happened to me.. if you are bleeding for more than 7 days at any given time while on Skyla GO. SEE. A. DOCTOR. Something is wrong! Again, 23, never been pregnant, and love Skyla!"


"After suffering unbearably for 15 years  from Fibromyalgia (including 6 years on disability for it). My neurologist suggested I read everything by Dr. D'Amato and try Mucinex.  We tried 600 mg twice a day for 6 weeks, no response, upped the dose to 800 mg twice a day for 4 weeks, a little better, then 1200 mg twice a day and it was a miracle.  I slowly regained a life again.  Throughout this time I also exercised about 1/2 hour a day, which also helps."


"I was prescribed to use this once in the morning everyday and here we are 3 months later with no progress."


"Came off Citalopram which helped quite a lot for years but started to become ineffective and went onto 15mg Mirtazipine. After feeling little to no effect except moodiness, and being 2 weeks late for my period I was upped to 30mg. Now I feel 10   times worse than I've ever felt. My anxiety is through the roof and I can barely raise a smile. I've never felt this close to suicidal and really need advise. Has anyone else had a bad reaction to them?"


"Overall was an effective drug for me, but had problems with it wearing off between doses."


"I took this medicine for an acute bladder infection and the 3rd dose something happened. I went into a panic attack, had shortness of breath, was hyperventilating and my stomach was killing me so I was racing back to the ER and I was hallucinating. I kept seeing people jump out in front of me WHILE driving but there was no one there, it was dark but not too dark but I made it to the ER and I got in right away just from having a panic attack and hyperventilating. I have NO idea where this side effect came from it was the weirdest, scariest thing ever so the Doctor gave me Cipro which makes you feel awful. "


"Monistat 7 is great. It does not cause burning like the 1 or 3 day version. It might be the burning everyone has experienced may be because you have a bacterial infection instead. Just make sure when using Monistat 7, that you are in fact treating a yeast infection. Good luck!"


"Me and a friend have been hooked for about 2 years on Narcos,Hydrocodine and we went this weekend together to a clinic it's only been since Saturday but they work so good it has helped out so much i would suggest this way we were scared that it wouldnt work but it does"


"Works very effectively."


"Was prescribed Effexor XR 75mg in 2015 for depression. I was on it for 7 months. It helped at first, but not in a healthy way. It kinda just kept me calm and numb to my surroundings. It was almost like some type of fake permanent trance that helped me to not be able to focus for more than a couple seconds on issues. Just a constant blur, I had absolutely no feelings. Whether it be love or hate.....I had nothing. I didn't care about anything, nothing seemed to bother me. Then I started to have memory loss along with brain zaps every night before bed. I quit cold turkey because I knew I had to save myself. I now  suffer with sleep paralysis and occasional brain zaps, two years later. I believe they are 2 lifetime side effects caused by this drug."


"I am 34 yrs old, 5'6,  mom of 6 kids. My youngest is 7 mo old. And this is the heaviest I've been. I started Contrave 3 weeks ago. My beginning weight was 242 and I've lost 18 lbs in 3 wks. This has been with strict calorie restriction and walking 30 mins to an hour daily if I can. Contrave keeps my appetite in check and I forget to eat sometimes. I've had no side effects. I'm also doing the scale down program too. So far Contrave has been great! I'll update again after my 2nd month.."


"I had forgotten how it felt like to be normal and healthy. To have energy. I was experiencing this after three months on Humira only to be abruptly dropped from my insurance plan. So thankful for the Abbvie patient assistance plan which has now approved me for a full year! I am looking forward to getting better again in the months ahead. I was afraid I was going to lose my job because of the flares but now I am hopeful. Thanks"


"Took this pill for one week.  I was so nauseated, dizzy,  and had a headache I couldn't get out of the house or even look at food.  I have been on several other pills before and none have affected me this badly"


"Retin-A truly did a 360 on my skin. I have mild to moderate breakouts with terrible hormonal flare ups. Hence when I first tried Retin-A over a year ago, it only worked for a short while and then I discovered I was expecting and had to stop using it. Glowing during pregnancy led to return of the bumps around my chin and forehead postpartum. Now I'm back on 0.025% and am in love with my skin again. Smooth, healthy, and rosy looking even when that time comes. It started working immediately. I skip every third night to keep from over drying and desensitizing. Goodluck all."


"I can walk without limping now. That's all I wanted. "


"Insurance covered this 100% which was great...I had a period the NEXT day after not having one for 5 years with Mirena. Since then I have randomly bled several times a month for the last year and a half. I have gained 60 pounds, began to lose my hair, started sprouting manly hair all over my body, and developed cysts under my skin due to this. I went through 3 doctors trying to figure out what the problem was, before it was determined that Nexplanon was the culprit. Not pregnant which is a plus, but not worth it. Getting it removed within the week. DO NOT USE!"


"I have been taking Effexor for hot flashes for 4 years now. While it did relieve the flashes I must tell you about a devastating experience I had this week. The Effexor caused  me to have a false positive reading for PCP on a pre employment drug screen. I will NEVER take this medication again and am on a mission to let everyone know about this problem."


"I highly recommend trying this product.  Discounts are available depending on your health insurance provider and Dermatologist.  I first I didn't follow the directions and used  sometimes once a day.  Once I started using it twice a day I noticed fantastic results.  This paired along with Cerve  moisturizer (the night version)  really did change my life."


"The best invention since the wheel!! Its magical, its amazing! Chantix actually makes you NOT want to smoke! I wish I did this years ago. Here's a tip for those who got sickly from it. Maybe the prescribed dosage is too much for your system to handle. Try introducing it to your body slower by extending the lower dose from 1 week to 2-3 weeks, or even cut the lower dose in half. Or maybe all you need is half the dose the entire time. And I recommend tapering off Chantix for a couple weeks when you're finished.  Everybody is different, so its worth trying what works for you!"


"It has worked incredibly well for me, and I rarely ever get pimples. I have never gotten sick, either and my periods have been manageable. I've been on this for about 5 months now, but one thing is I did gain a ton of weight. It wasn't really a bad thing because I already was incredibly skinny. I started out 100 lb and I'm now 115. But the problem is that all the weight went straight to my stomach. I look incredibly bloated all the time and have to suck in to try and look normal. I have a feeling strenuous workout is necessary to make the pill worth it."


"I have had TN for about 10 years, but was switched from Trileptal to carbamazepine, 100 mg 3x/day, about a month ago. The first week I felt almost pain-free, but since have been in constant pain. It does not seem to work for me at all now!"


"The first week at 0.6 went pretty well...some nausea, blood sugar reduced significantly, low appetite. When I moved to the 1.2 dosage, by day 4 I felt so sick and weak (couldn't really eat much at all), with extensive gas and burping.  Felt so bad I had to leave work and take the next day off.  I went back to 0.6 for now.  Probably will try the 1.2 again in a week or two.  It did greatly reduce my blood sugar from 200-250 to 110-135, but I have to be able to function."


"I have been taking melatonin every night for about 3 years and it works good for me! I have never had my sleep problem "diagnosed"....but I can tell you that if I don't take something to MAKE me fall asleep I can easily stay awake for at least 36 hours and then in order to fall asleep I still have to take something! I have tried Tylenol PM and sometimes use pain pills and muscle relaxers (ruptured disc in my neck) and I still need melatonin with any of them!
I have noticed that I seem to need more than I started out taking."

"I have only been on latuda for a short period of time so far. I don't like that I've been twitching, I get so tired from latuda that I can't wake up the next day for hours (which is bad when you work) and also I have been unable to think about past memories that are sad. Idk how to explain it but I used to be able to think about my past sad memories and be upset and now on latuda, It feels I am unable to really hold on to the memory and think about it at all. Its like the drug doesn't let me get upset. I also have trouble thinking about things and analyzing them now."


"Excellent."


"I work nights so I took my 2nd dose of the day at 1am. By the time I saw the doctor at 8am, my blood pressure was 160/110. It doesn't work for me. I get no benefit, and most of the side effects."


"Lysteda is amazing.  I have menorrhagia caused by adenomyosis.  I have dealt with disablingly heavy periods for nearly 10 years.  I usually take two days off from work and wear diapers for the first two days of my period, waking up several times throughout the night to change.  I also experience debilitating cramps and became severely anemic from the heavy bleeding.  This is my first month on Lysteda.  I just completed my third day of treatment, and this is the first normal period I have had in years - no diapers and no cramping whatsoever!  My flow was so light that I only had to change my pad a few times on the heaviest day, and had no need for tampons.  I highly recommend Lysteda."


"I am 35 and have had extremely random menstrual cycles for as long as I have had a period.  I never know when the cycle will start, end or if it will be spotty or 5 gallons of blood.   I am on the 3rd month of this Microgestin 1.5/30 and I will not be taking it anymore.
The Microgestin has seemed to make my menstrual cycles right on schedule and with very little blood flow, however since week one, I have had the most painful ovarian cysts.  I have never had these before and it started on week one but the last several have ruptured closer to ovulation.  The first time I had to call the ambulance because I thought my appendices had burst.
After 2 months, I started forming a belly that looks very similar to a baby bump, but it is not."


"I treated my major depression with any type of narcotics or benzos. I was so depressed just wanted to die. But I found Prozac. Now loving life clean sober and happy. Please try this medication.  40 mg 1xday. Free at local health department"


"I took the medication for two years as a teenager. It stopped the seizures but I lost all my energy and put on 40 pounds.  Once I stopped Depakote, I nearly lost all the weight within 2 months."


"I have been taking 50 mg per day of atenolol, for 29 years, now. It has done two things for me. It has controlled my blood pressure dependably and it has made me a much calmer person. I have had no side effects, unless you consider being more calm a side effect. I was 33 years old, when I started atenolol and I am now 62."


"I have been on Deplin 15mg for about 3.5 months. I have the mutation and was hopeful that this would help. I noticed no change whatsoever in my anxiety or depression. I also started having severe joint pain and nothing had changed but adding Deplin. My doctor recommended that I stop the Deplin. I have been off for 3 days and continue to have joint pain. Would love to hear from others with a similar experience."


"Have been on Multaq since Sept. 2009 and it has worked very well. Had one brief ER visit after forgetting to take a dose on time, and one brief episode of tachycardia after drinking too much Espresso. My pulse is slow and steady, blood pressure is low and I have no noticeable adverse effects as long as I take it with food to avoid intestinal discomfort. It's important to know that Multaq works very well for some people and not at all for others (typical with anti-arrhythmic medicines) and that it is not safe for patients with heart failure or permanent atrial fibrillation."


"I have been taking this drug for about 3 months now. At first the drug seemed to work - I could sleep! Then like everything else once my body got used to it, it stopped working. Now I'm up till 3am in the morning and having to get up at six for work sometimes. So I have tried to be strong and make myself work extra hard during the day to sleep better at night. Has it worked? NO but I am still pushing on."


"I have had chronic pain and peripheral neuropathy of the legs and feet for about 4 years, a lovely gift I received just before my 40th birthday that eventually landed me in the hospital in so much pain that my blood pressure was dangerously high.  I had been put on every pain med imaginable, including fentanyl and dilaudid, which made me terribly sick.  Fast forward 4 years and my PCP wanted me to try tramadol in conjunction with my gabapentin 600 mg 3x/day and clonidine 0.1 mg 3x/day.  So far it has been a miracle.  I can finally put on my sneaks and take long walks again, go biking and shop without having to sit on a bench every 10 minutes.  I was prescribed 50 mg of tramadol 2x/day but so far I've only taken it once a day and that's all!"


"I've been taking this for about four months now, and I only really have good things to say about it. I take this everyday along with a birth control pill and the results are wonderful. I used to have moderate acne and NOTHING I did helped. This is the first time something really worked and my skin is 99% clear now. Seeing even a small zit on my face is very rare. A few tips though: it took about three weeks before I saw results, and they weren't that impressive at first, but over time I gradually got better skin. Just be patient. Also, I tended to still get bad breakouts around that time of the month, BUT in combination with a birth control pill, that went away. So, if you have hormonal acne, I strongly suggest this! I had great results."


"Took one pill for shingles pain and I never took anymore. It made me feel funny but didn't help the pain of shingles. ER doctor gave me 15"


"I have been using Seasonique for a little over a year now. The first month and a half on Seasonique is great but then the spotting starts. For the past 2 1/2 weeks on the last pack I have been bleeding. It has given me acne and very painful cramps. I am switching to another birth control."


"I had numerous set of 35 shots of Botox for headaches. Started with 100 units, then 150 units, then 200 units.This over a period of 1 and a half years. I had pain in my neck, shoulder and injection site pain, it did help with the headaches but didn't take away completely. So the doctor give me 300 units of Botox. That was biggest mistake of my life 7 hours later my head started feeling very weird, I started having bad anxiety. I called the doctor he said it had to run its  90 days then it would get better it's been almost 2 years. It isn't any better. I'm exhausted, the weird feeling and anxiety is worse I have no life. One Doctor at the ER told me the problems I'm having are definitely caused from the Botox. Do your research before you take Botox its ruined my life!!"


"This is my second time using Lamisil. No problems the first time. Within first 5 days I developed progressive rash-starting on feet, then legs, arms, and trunk. Discontinued after day 13."


"BEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER USED! The very next day my internal and external hemmorhoids dwindled down to nothing. I couldn't believe that after only TWO uses I saw such quick results! Crazy expensive though, 162$ "


"3rd colonoscopy. One prep was oral meds (they don't do that anymore). One was with nulytely and this one was suprep.  Suprep has an unpleasant taste but I had good success chugging it in about 3-5 minutes.  Both my evening and morning dose took about 3 hours start to finish and it took about 1 hour to start working on the first dose. It wasn't until the second dose that I had the 'desired' liquid yellow stools, and that toward the end of my 'throne' time. My stomach was a little queasy but I didn't actually get sick-once it started working that went away. I loved that I could take it all at once and that I was done in a few hours-it actually let me sleep a while which was nice.  Helps to take a sip or two of soda after drinking it."


"I am a 39 (soon to be 40) year old male. I stepped one the scale at the doctors office and I was horrified to learn that I had let myself get to 284lbs (I'm only 5'10). I asked the doc for some help, and she recommended a few drugs that might be able to help, Saxenda being one of them. I have been on Saxenda for 6 weeks and I have lost 23lbs.  I also stopped drinking any kind of soda, or sugary drinks, and not fast food. I let myself have a cheat meal a week, but I can't even finish it when I do have it.

I did have a few issues in the beginning, headache the first week, and some sporadic nausea. The side effects have subsided, and for me the few days of discomfort have been well worth the reward."


"I was put on Microgestin 1/20 to not only prevent pregnancy, but to prevent the severe cramps I had. It worked well by helping with the cramps and I had almost zero side effects but one- spotting. I spotted almost every day. I continued taking the prescription in hopes the spotting would pass, but it didn't. My OB-GYN then put me on Microgestin 1.5/30 for a few months, to see if that would help. Unfortunately, it didn't, so I stopped taking birth control all together. Hopefully I can find one that works for me!"


"I'm on day 6, @20 mg.  I've been waiting for this feeling for a long time.  I have energy, no brain fog, I don't feel like isolating myself, most of all I feel happy.  I'm having weird dreams but I can take that.  I'm not sitting on my assets for days without showering bc it was so laboring just to think much less move.  I don't ache in the way I have been for nearly 8 years.  I also feel like there's an open communication between my brain & body now...before  I had great ideas of things to do but my body wasn't receiving the message.  I can think and remember things now. I got to a point where my head was so tired I had to keep my eyes closed and it's gone now.  This is going to change my life...that's amazing.  I can't wait!"


"I've been taking Ritalin for 3 years for Narcolepsy.  I was very unwilling to try it at first, but after much research and a push from my Dr, I was finally alert and able to think clearly for the first time in years.  I've had to alter my dose at times and currently take 10mg twice a day.  I work part-time and try to alter my lifestyle so I won't need to up my dose too soon.  I can't imagine life without it and hope it continues to work for years to come."


"I have pneumonia in both lungs for the second time in 35 days. I was hospitalized this time though, so it's definitely worse the the first illness.
The only side effect I've noticed is nausea. If I drink water quickly, I immediately feel the need to throw up. Problem is that I'm always thirsty. I am home now thank goodness, still sick but I have what I need. I left AMA because I've got four kids with Christmas on their brains. Hopefully my pills will do the trick."


"The condom broke and we didn't realize it until too late...it was around time of my ovulation. I am not on birth control and took Plan B less than 12 hours later. During the next two weeks I was so paranoid and scared thinking I was pregnant because I was ovulating and thinking I was seeing so many signs, but please trust that this medicine does work! I ended up getting my period two days early and was so relieved. Take Plan B as SOON as you can after you have an accident. It works miracles even when you have an accident WHEN you're ovulating."


"I have been taking Microgestin for three months now. It's birth control. Sure, everyone needs to find the right one for them but it really isn't as horrid as everyone is making it... Side effects happen.. you're pumping your body full of hormones. For the first month I didn't break out a tad bit more than usual, my boobs were extremely tender and I was feeling lethargic but around the end of month 2 my face became extra clear, my boob tenderness had subsided and I have my energy back! GIVE YOUR BODY TIME TO BECOME ADJUSTED. . That's it. Do that and you will be A OKAY side effect AND baby free."


"I was very happy with my paraguard for the first 6mos. Then my partner began complaining that he felt it poking him during sex and I would have cramping after sex. I went in for an ultrasound to check the placement. Found out it had moved into my cervix. Luckily I found out and was not pregnant, but this seems to be more common than I thought. I got it removed and it was horribly painful. Much worse than the insertion. My doctor said it was curled or twisted and that is why it hurt so badly coming out. I had painful cramping after the removal and am now feeling upset that I have to find another alternative for birth control- again."


"Ambien is something I have very mixed feelings about.
To be honest I was hooked on it the first time I took it.
It took me a year to realize this.
It is an extremely subtle dependency that develops, but eventually it will stop working. When it stopped working I started feeling like I didn't get quality sleep at night at all and was dizzy all the time. I think it has a very subtle withdrawal that many people might not understand.
Terrible, I will be up for 3 days straight at a time, it's been two months off of Ambien and I sleep worse now then I ever did before I had it.
My advice is take it EXACTLY as it's prescribed no long term."


"My OB recommended this for my insomnia/racing thoughts at night in pregnancy. Took 25 mg and was out w/in 30 minutes and tired the next day. Cut down to 1/2 a pill and was much better. Haven't gotten a full nights sleep in 6 months and was losing my mind, it completely fixed that. I will say that if I don't drink lots of water with it I get terrible headaches but as long as I stay hydrated and give myself 8 hours to sleep I am ready and wake up right away with my alarm in the best mood I've had since the pregnancy started."


"Every time I have had a sinus infection and been prescribed Augmentin 875  I feel so much better within a day or two"


"My grandmother takes this and she looks really great for her age!"


"It truly has helped to keep my RRMS in check...after trying many therapies over eight years to slow progression. I have been on Novantrone for about 2 years now. The full doses are trying but once the treatment is cut into half doses it is very manageable."


"I have been on Mirena for over 6 months now and it's not for me. When I first got it inserted it wasn't too painful, but for the rest of the day I was in bed with very painful cramps, I even had to call into work. I have been having mood swings and spotting since I got it inserted. I never got my period once I was put on Mirena, just the everyday spotting. Everyone's different, but this form of birth control is not right for me."


"Suboxone is the best thing that ever happens to me! Before Suboxone I was on pills doing bad things that I would never do! I have 4 wonderful children that I lost due to my drug use! Pills were number one, my kids and family and loved ones came last. I lost everything, myself, my kids, my family and the one man I loved so much. Then I found hope I found a Doctor that said I want you to try a pill called Suboxone and to be honest it saved my life. I no longer use pills I am on Suboxone daily. I am on the right track I am going to outpatient daily. I go to meetings and I take my medication the right way. I am on the right track to getting my 4 great kids back but most important me back. If I can do it anyone can."


"Today I've been on Yasmin for 4 weeks. I started taking it mostly because of My skin, I have had mild hormonal acne since I was twelve (I'm 18). My skin has Always been combination with a more oily T-zone and  dry cheeks. The surface of the skin dries out easily though, maybe because of the retinoid gel I used.

I've not looked this good since I tried antibiotics (It came back afterwards)  and when I get pimples, one wash with my estee lauder cleansing make them go away overnight. Its a commitment though, I started on the first day of My period and i had a 2 week long period   spotting everyday for the last 2 weeks. My breasts grew two sizes as well, and i lost most of My appetite. makes me dizzy sometimes. Otherwise:perfect."


"Diagnosed with bronchial pneumonia two days ago. Had a fever of 102 at that point. Within two days, I don't have a fever. I am beginning to cough up the infection where I struggled before. I have to be open and add that I was also given prednisone to take. Between the two, at the end of the second day, I am beginning to feel better. Still a ways off but I feel a difference."


"I had it inserted on last month 15 sept. Was painful during the insertion, experienced cramp for a short while. Before i went for the insertion, i even double checked with the doctor about the side effects. And he said that there is no side effects at all.. weight gain is my most concerned issue and now.. i have gained 4.5kg (10lb). What is this?! After insertion, my menses lasted around 1 week and it came back (light flow) 3 days later. Zero sex drive, moody, temper change.. i feel it... (from Singapore)"


"After experiencing extreme weight gain due to a horrible experience with an imbedded IUD, I was advised by a colleague to try adipex 37.5. I have been taking it since June 1, 2015 and started at 238.2 lbs. Today I weigh 227.4 lbs. it has helped me by suppressing my appetite, increasing my energy and giving me motivation by seeing my weight loss occur so quickly. I walk twice per day and lift weights three times per week. (Arms, legs, abs) I had the dry mouth but lots of water and Biotene help. Insomnia is managed by taking pill no later than 1pm. No rapid heart beat & managing salt intake may help BP. I stay below 1500 mls daily. Will update next month. I'm happy."


"I have been taking Xyrem since it was in research. Then it was a powder that you mixed each night before bed. While it has changed my life for the better. There are some side effects. One is after starting just once I did wet the bed. I had been warned that this might happen. So with proper protection in place no mess. One more side effect is intense hunger after taking the dose. Some people quit the study over that side effect. The price of Xyrem is so high. These are just my experiences everyone is different. But for my narcolepsy I have a new lease on life. One where I can pay attention and stay awake."


"I have been on Effexor XR (now the generic) for 18 years! I suffer with anxiety and panic. I went as high as 150mg and then stayed at 37.5mg for years. When break through panic comes in I up my dosage to 75mg then taper down again. I have tried to go this medication but my panic just comes back. I thank my lucky stars that there was a medication out there to help me with functioning in the world. I am 54 and I plan on staying on this medication until I am 104!"


"I've been on Cryselle for two years now and I absolutely love it! I actually lost weight since taking the pill and have maintained this new low weight ever since. My periods used to be 8-10 days and filled with unbearable cramps and heavy bleeding. My periods are now 3-4 days and extremely light. My boobs get a little sore before I'm going to begin but that's how it's always been for me. Everyone's different. I experience little to no cramps with the pill which is amazing compared to what I used to deal with. I can remember having to stay home from school because my cramps and bleeding were so severe it would make me sick. I'm 20 years old and began taking Cryselle at 18. I highly recommend !!!"


"I have been on Effexor XR for years.  I have been on several other SSRIs through the years that eventually stopped working.  Effexor has been the most successful in the long term.  I take 150mg of the XR and 37.5 three times a day of the regular Effexor.  The regular was recently added as my depression has worsened due to additional stress at work.  I have not had any major side effects, even on this high of a dose.  I do agree that withdrawal is serious.  If I miss a dose, I have a buzzing feeling, crying and increase in depression almost immediately.  This is one medication that I do not go without--ever.  I am a bit worried about ever going off of it for these reasons.  I believe that this can be done safely with the help of a physician."


"I have had restless legs syndrome for over 15 years. It has gotten worse over the years, but with my doctor increasing my medication, my symptoms have been for the most part under control."


"Take pill every 12 hours. Works fine for me. Requested a beta-blocker because of the anti stage-fright effects. No more 'adrenaline dumps' in stressful situations. Helps me tremendously in my work and social interactions."


"This product never worked for me. I'm so sick of doctors trying new stuff. Doctors can give me what I know works or I can find another doctor. The older I get the more I start feeling like a guinea pig!"


"Went to ER with a migraine and they  gave me torodol and a "cocktail" of other meds that did not work!!!"


"This stuff works better than anything else.  Don't waste your time with all the OTC stuff.  After I started Valtrex my cold sore was gone in two days"


"I had the Nexplanon inserted in the beginning of May 2016. About 4 weeks later I started my period and it hasn't stopped for more than 3 days since! I cry all the time and feel like I want to rip everyone's face off When they even look at me funny. I'm actually crying as I write this because I feel So guilty about my attitude. It's like I wake up and cannot get into a good mood no matter what I do. My doctor put me on Estrogen to try and stop my period and that worked. Except I cry even more than normal now. I decided to go off of it for the day to see how I felt and I felt great! First time I've felt myself since I had it in, but then my period starting almost immediately. I cannot WAIT to get this out of my arm and be normal again!"


"Started taking this birth control at 16 and have taken it for a year now. The first three months were horrible, I had mood swings where I would start crying randomly, most of the time because I would take it at 7 pm and around 9 pm would begin feeling sharp cramps in my stomach that were unbearable, it was so hard to continue taking them at work knowing I would be in pain from them. However after three months I stopped having pain. Before the pill I had terrible cramps on my period but since Alesse my cramps are much milder. My mood swings have calmed down and I am not affected at all! A good thing to keep in mind is Alesse is a mild birth control (less hormones than others) so you can still take other medications. I love it, good choice!"


"I had a mishap with my boyfriend on Sept.4 where he came inside of me and immediately ran to CVS to get the Plan B. I took the pill within an hour of the accident.  I'm not sure whether it was a mixture of the Plan B and my regular birth control (which I started Sept.5) but the side effects hit me hard. I was extremely naseuas and fatigued. I mean to the point where any physical activity was draining. This went on for the next two weeks with mild cramping in between. The side effects subsided a bit but I am happy to say that my period came today Sept.29 only a day late! I am well over the "weight limit" for the pill and it worked for me and I was very fertile according to my ovulation calend. Hope this helps someone ease their minds a bit!"


"Okay first thing is first, this pill does do the one job I take it for, birth control so it gets points for that. And my periods are like clock work and usually pretty light with minimal cramping which is a plus. However,  I experience constant nausea during the first active week of every pack and during the placebo pills I'm not sure why but it really sucks especially having it all day everyday. Other than that this pills is pretty decent"


"I used Soolantra for 4 weeks.  My condition significantly worsened."


"I’ve had nexplanon for 2 years now and I absolutely love it! The first 6 months with this I had a little spotting, not much. After the 6 months I haven’t had my period whatsoever, so a year in a half with no period. Haven’t really had any side effect because just a little weight gain but every BC I feel like you gain a little! I highly recommend this, but everyone’s body is different. But I love it and will keep using this! Didn’t have to pay anything for this either!! 3 years with not buying BC ever month!"


"I lived with severe heartburn for years.  It was absolutely crippling at times.  I had to essentially watch everything I ate and drank.  Aciphex gave me my life back.  I recommend looking into it as a possible treatment."


"I used to suffer from migraines at least 2-3 times a month.  Getting through work or just typical daily tasks used to be very stressful and painful.  Taking this medication has changed my life for the better in so many ways.  Even when a migraine comes on, I know I can knock it out with this medication.  If you suffer from migraines talk to your MD about this medication.  It will change your life!"


"They do not help pain they make back pain worse"


"I had been taking Lexapro which worked very well. I had been having pains in my back and headaches for a while so my Doctor started me on Cymbalta. I must say that with the switch my pains are relieved, and my whole being is in a very good place. Thanks Cymbalta"


"I had headaches for a few months but my body got pretty used to it.  Periods were like clock work - 2 days sometimes only lasted even 1 but last year I started getting random spotting.  I told my doc I wanted to try something new as there are so many options and the random spotting wasn't making my husband happy.  So she prescribed me LO LOESTRIN.  WORST MISTAKE EVER.  First month on Lo Loestrin I didn't get my period (thought I was pregnant) second month got it twice, third month got it 3x. Was dizzy, sick to my stomach, constantly tired, started breaking out all over!  Long story short - stayed on Lo Loestrin for 5 months. Now I'm back on Gianvi and happier than EVER!"


"Awful. I went to my dermatologist and she had prescribed me it in July. I have been taking it for about 3 months. It hasn't done much at all. If anything, my acne is actually starting to get worse than before. I am very disappointed. However, this worked miracles for my sister."


"After two years of going off and on the nicotine patch I attempted cold turkey. 6 hours into my cold turney attempt my husband informed me he was going to mow the lawn, my completely uncalled for hyper emotional response was to burst into tears...needless to say, I didn't respond well to the cold turkey attempt. After complexity giving up the idea of quitting, my sister informed me that she was succeeding using nicotine gum, so I gave it a try-two weeks after starting I am smoke free and have zero doubt that I will succeed! The gum takes a few days to get used to. Make sure and read the directions and follow them to a T. You're not supposed to " chew" this gum like regular gum. If you do, it will make you nauseous and burn your throat."


"Just started taking these pills a few weeks ago. Am on the placebo pills part of the pack now. Period has not started yet. Side effects I've been experiencing: fatigue, nausea(non-stop), slight cramping, acne breakouts(which I've never had an issue with before), fuller breasts, very sore/tender breasts, and my period has yet to start. However, I did have unprotected sex within the first 7 days of starting the pill. So, my symptoms could be signs of early pregnancy or adverse side effects of the pill. Will update in a few days."


"I take 150mg at night. It makes me drowsy, along with a 0.5mg alprazolam I can finally get at least 5-6 hours of sleep at night. I did not know how ill my disorder was making me until I was on this medication and the prescriber that I was seeing let me lapse because I missed my appointment for a refill. Within a couple weeks, I wanted to put my jacket on and run away, thought about running into traffic, real manic, racing thoughts while feeling depressed. I never knew how sick I was for all of those years until I was on the Trileptal and felt what "healthy" was like. Thankfully, found a new doctor and back on it and do not plan on stopping, ever!"


"I just started Saxenda on 9/2/16. After reading the reviews I was a little skeptical, I know side effects for weight loss medications tend to be very uncomfortable. I started on the 0.6 dosage, weighting 286 and I am now on day 6. I weighed myself this morning and I am 278.2 (7.8 pounds down). I am sure this is probably water weight, but it is still weight off so I'm happy.

I try to work out or walk everyday but during the past 6 days I have only been able to make it 3 days. And my eating has not been the best either. I could only imagine what I would have lost if I was to actually stick to my healthy foods and exercise. So far I have not experienced any side effects! YAY!

I make sure to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner even if it is just fruit.."


"I'm 21 and joined the Skyla club four days ago and the procedure did not hurt one bit (with the use of numbing beforehand). HOWEVER the cramps afterwards were some of the worst pain I've ever experienced. I took a muscle relaxer, cried, and laid in bed with a heating pad all day long until the pain subsided. The next day there were barely any cramps. However last night the cramps returned, they were not as painful as before but it prevented me from sleeping and they were enough to groan in pain once every 5 minutes. Today, the cramps are still there but not as bad. Im hoping the painful contraction-like cramps never return."


"I had the paraguard for 7 years. I was 20 with no children. I'm also forgetful and wanted a birth control that I didn't have to worry about taking every day like the pill.I tried the depo shot but gained too much weight. I had absolutely no problems except for the fact that it was very painful when inserted, I'm sure that it had something to do with me not being pregnant before. But..... I became pregnant last September. Either my iud moved because I became pregnant or because it had moved beforehand, I'm not sure. Either way I couldn't feel the string and didn't schedule annual exams so I believe this caused me to become pregnant. I urge everyone with an iud to make sure you check yourself once a month and schedule exams every year!!"


"Hallucinated, would laugh hysterically for no reason for an hour, then would cry for an hour. This is only after taking one pill."


"I have nerve pain in both legs due to nerve toxicity caused by levoflox two months ago which makes my life miserable and gave me unparalled stress and insomnia. I took 75 mg lyrica twice a day and this reduced my pain almost completely. However due to several side effects I am afraid to continue taking it but I don't have a choice coz the other medicines too have as terrible side effects. Its so discouraging that so far science has not been able to find a cure. By treating a particular health problem the side effects are bringing other bothersome problems too"


"I've been really pleased with the low blood sugar results but found that I was really tired.  I went to the doctor for an ear infection and found that I had low blood pressure.  I forgot that my high blood pressure was related to the diabetes.  Once the blood sugar levels lowered so did my high blood pressure.  Cutting back on one of my medicines gave me more energy.  I will keep an eye on my blood pressure but will definitely not give up the Victoza."


"I told my physician that I would no longer take Percocet for my chronic back pain. He suggested I try tramadol and assured me it is not a narcotic. I have been talking the tramadol now for a year and although it is no miracle drug it has managed my pain immensely. I can finally sleep at night and function normally. One down side to the drug for me is if I run out and the withdraw starts it is nasty. Be careful you stop the drug abruptly. Good health to all. Rob"


"Worse rescue inhaler ever!!!!!  I'm resorting to using my nebulizer in order to get relief.  Who's bright idea was it to switch from a pump inhaler to a inhaled powder???  Half the time I don't have enough breath to inhale and I don't get a good dose, and let's not forget the fact that I have to make sure that my lips do not block the airflow window.  Unfortunately I can't even switch to a different one because my insurance will not cover any other brand.  Someone help me I can't breath and my back hurts so bad as a result."


"I am 20 years old and I had my Mirena inserted a month ago and to me personally the insertion was extremely painful. It was unlike any other painful cramp I have ever felt before, but the pain did not last for too long and after it was inserted I was fine and didn't really cramp much after. That being said, I have had no children and did not take my Advil as advised from the nurse prior to my appointment. Other than that I have only had light spotting and it has made my period lighter. Mirena is supposed to decrease your sex drive but honestly it has increased mine and my partner and I love it! I hope it stays this way and the bleeding/spotting stops soon!"


"This medication was a life saver for me as it helped me to overcome anxiety at work and allowed me to regain my focus. This also helped a lot with my irritable bowel syndrome issues! Only downfall was the first few weeks where I lost a lot of weight due to having no desire to eat and I had to switch to taking it at night because when I took it in the morning it made me dizzy and tired all day. I am taking 30mg once a day and have been on this for about 8 months. Hang in there if you just started the medication because it takes about a month to really kick in."


"Many doctors seem to be convinced that if you have an AD disorder, you simply can't get high on stimulant medications. This is NOT the case at all.

First off,  stimulant medications in general work well... very very well.

The first day I took adderall I was at school. About an hour after I took my dose of 20mgs I started to feel this awake, alert, energetic feeling inside. I liked, a lot. For the next 5 hours all of my boring subjects became very interesting and I became a very social person. After about a month, those effects started to go away. I went to the doc and asked for a dose increase. Without any hesitation, he DOUBLED my dose to 40mg. I quickly found my self abusing adderall. 1 year later and I'm now in rehab for drug abuse."


"This patch has made a SIGNIFICANT difference in my stamina. Even though I do still experience pain, it takes longer to get to intolerable, but mostly, my recovery from a taxing day is significant less. I take FAR fewer pills and was even able to stop taking Ambien. I would recommend this to ANYONE who is truly looking for a better way to take care of their pain without all the opiates. Give it time, allow it to work and if you're taking a bunch of narcotics, it may take a little time for your body to adjust to the patch and its delivery of medication. Your body's tolerance is likely very high. But, if you can make through an adjustment period, there's a good chance this can work for you, too! "


"I am a 30 year old female who has had eczema my whole life but it has gotten severely worse in the past 3 years. I have been on this medication for about 2 months now and so far it is doing well. I noticed results almost immediately and no longer cringe when I shower. But in the past 2 weeks I've noticed a small flare up on my face coming back which I hope is only due to change of season. The flare up is very small compared to what I experienced in the past and not as itchy all the time (there is some itchiness at night) as my flare ups have been in the past."


"It works wonders."


"I must be a little strange because I thought Suprep was not that bad.  This was my first colonoscopy so I don't have any prior experience to compare it to.  Everyone told me the prep was horrible.  I took the first dose at 7pm.  Smelled and tasted like grape.  I mixed with cold, cold water.  Drank the first dose in less than 2 mins followed by 2 16oz bottles of water within 20 mins.  Made 5 or so trips to the bathroom and went to sleep around 11pm.  2nd dose was at 4am.  I was really not looking forward to the 2nd dose.  I had a slight headache and I have to say that after I drank each dose I got slightly chilled.  But, once the pooping began the chills and headache went away."


"Everyone complaining about headaches and worse pain need to toughen up and wait two weeks before giving up on Hysingla. The headaches and increased pain I think are from Norco "withdrawal". Your brain just needs a week to adapt to the new dosing.
   Those complaining about it taking a long time to start working or not being consistent are of course correct. No XR meds are perfect but they prevent turmoil caused by peaks and valleys of IR meds...and that is worth it long-term.
   Give Hysingla a chance. The worst thing about my experience is that during titration the doctors are following guidelines to "round down" from their Norco dose. That's backwards, the does should be higher with any XR."


"Bipolar. Now on Atarax and Buspar together. Things have gotten better. No side effects except vivid dreams, if you are like me you'd rather have those than anxiety."


"No trouble so far taking doxycycline after oral surgery, but tetracycline 250mg made me very, very dizzy."


"My only experience with erectile dysfunction medications has been with Levitra. Started out with 10 mg and found the side effects to be a bit too strong. The sinus thing is pretty annoying for me as it kicks into my asthma. Cutting back to 5 mg helped. Still get congestion but manageable. Erections are reliable and the bill comes on fast, usually within 30 minutes for me. Here's a money saving tip for those with insurance. Buy the higher dose pills and cut them."


"I became hyper sensitive to Seroquel around the same time my Dr. put me on mirtazapine. It took about 30 days of 30mg and one day I woke up and I felt like a veil was lifted.  I was no longer depressed. I have lost weight that I had gained from Seroquel. No side effects that I have noticed."


"I have COPD and experience many lung infections. Also allergic to penicillin.  I have used many different antibiotics and find best results with Biaxin XL  1000mg once daily.  it does not bother my stomach at all.  I usually experience relief within 2-3 days  Doctor gives me 10 day run of it... I  sometimes take prednisone along with it on a 5 day blast 30mg a day... prednisone is very good for lessening inflammation in the airways.. leaves you sleepless, a little agitated but works."


"Not great med. Gained lots of weight. 15mg I was like a zombie. Tired alot and twitching."


"Recommended dosage was 1 pill. No side effects but unfortunately I'm still itching and uncomfortable 3 days later. I guess it didn't fully work for me."


"I've been on Lo Loestrin for almost 4 years and I haven't gotten my period at all while on it. I still PMS but never got my period. At first I loved not having it because of my normally heavy period. But it started to concern me and I felt uncomfortable not getting my period for so long. I also gained weight in my stomach area. I stopped taking it 2 days ago. I'm not sexually active so I can't comment on that but definitely wouldn't recommend."


"simply wonderful for toothaches, muscle pain. no side effects."


"First I wish to thank those with PTSD who shared their experience with Prazosin.  I am treated by VA for PTSD w/moral injury, for Prolonged nightly Night Terrors, Night screams, kicking/running legs in deep sleep. (Vietnam Era Combat Vet)

I was placed on Prazosin nightly by my Psychiatrist about 4 years ago...at 1mg, and graduating to 6 mg by 2016.  I take Sertraline in the morning..along with two cups of strong coffee to get me into a relatively normal routine.  Sertraline helps with sudden noise anxiety and social conflict management. Prazosin causes me to crave sleep within an hour....I fall into deep sleep within minutes of lying down. The terrors and screams are very rare now.  My dog is trained to awaken me on Alarm. I am grateful."


"This medication has turned me around and I had none of the side effects. I initially requested it from my doctor because, whilst I did not really have any problems, I had a negative outlook despite trying to be positive and I was not enjoying 'life' at all.

It has really helped with all this and as an added bonus I feel that I have more energy. I went back to my doctor and said "We hit the nail on the head". Previously I was looking for the magic vitamin pill to help reduce my stress and increase my energy levels. I tried vitamin B, Iron, and multivitamins to no avail. I no longer feel the need to take any vitamins at all. I'll continue to take this as needed and have no reservations about taking anti-depressants."


"I've been using 40 mg of prozac daily for almost a year now, I went from the worst I've ever been, crying all the time never being able to stop thinking about how much I hated myself life and everything about life, I was not eating, was so full of rage and hate and had the most negative mindset towards everything, like every second of my life was hell and pointless seeming, I wished I was dead (although would never actually kill myself for my families sake) and after about 2 or 3 weeks of taking the prozac everything got so much better it was like it flipped a switch in my head and the negative thoughts went away and I actually felt good and happy which I thought was so impossible to feel, taking these meds was the best thing I've ever done"


"37 inflamed and 18 painful joints before my first dose.
2 months later, 4 inflamed and 2 painful joints
6 months later, 2 inflamed and 1 sore joint!
The best RA drug I have taken to date.
I have been on the drug for 6 years.
I had been suffering from RA since 1987!"


"I've been on the medicine for 3 weeks and lost 8 pounds.  I would love to continue.  However, possible side effects of this medication are depression, mental confusion, suicidal thoughts, etc.  I have struggled in the past with depression.  This medicine has has ignited a fire in my brain.  I am at the point where I seriously think I'm going crazy.  I urge you to disclose fully to your doctor if you suffer from chronic depression and urge you to reconsider taking this medicine.  I begged my husband to commit me yesterday, that was my mental state.  I'm seeing my doctor Monday to figure out a different course of action now."


"I've been taking Benicar HCT 40/25 for a couple of years my blood pressure has gone down. Then I started having trouble with some side effects rapid heartbeat and some thyroid issues."


"Had insertion May/2013 to help with heavy periods, only issue is hair loss.  Now looking back, hair loss started within a few weeks of insertion.  Going next week to have device removed.  No other option, need to stop hair loss."


"Took this for allergies and to help me sleep.  I had the best sleep I've had in years, BUT I was so groggy and hazy during the day that I stopped taking it after 2 nights.  This certainly works for allergies (no more sneezing or itchy-watery eyes), but I wouldn't take it if you have small children or a day job.  I had such a hard time keeping my eyes open at work."


"I took Latuda 20mg po qd for 3wk out of 4wk I got Rx for. During the 1st wk , I felt better.  In the 3rd wk,  I increasingly felt weak, "drugged" and unable to function. My BP remained normal. At no time, did Latuda helped with my chief symptom -sleeplessness."


"I had Mirena inserted today. It was fast and zero pain. First i was nervous because of the reviews i reqd but mine was pretty quick, less than 5 minutes. No cramping, a small spotting and thats it!"


"I was sceptical about taking meds such as this.  However, I had been dealing with so much stress that it had taken a toll on me and life seemed to be falling apart, even though I was always everyone turned to.  My doctor prescribed 10mg once daily and it has been a miracle.  I did cut back to only 5mg a day and take it at night, as it does make me sleepy.  I am so much happier, more energy and a different outlook.  I am 39yrs old and feel like it again.  Only been on the med 3wks and I have nothing negative to say."


"I suffer from neck and back issues with my spine and I have tried many different pain medications and procedures but the one where I got the most relief is Opana. Sometimes the pain is so bad that Opana or my breakthrough medication do not control it. Maybe 6 to 10 times a week."


"Works wonders with me. ."


"Try it and see for yourself!!!"


"My physician has told me to take 3.0 one time per week for weight loss.  Nurse did first injection yesterday in the office at 9:30 am.  By 1 pm, I started vomiting and haven't stopped.  I am scared because the medication is in my body and I don't know how long this will last.  I do not have nausea.  I just have sudden-onset vomiting."


"I started taking abilify generic about a month ago. I didn't realize how depressed physically and mentally I was. I have more mental and physical  to do things. I take 30 mgs along with 800 tegreol, 300 Wellbutrin, 60 cymbalta. I'm still having mild mood swings but most of my depression and hypo mania is gone. No side effects. Hope I can take this for a long time. Good luck to you all."


"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!"


"I'm in my 30s and got cystic acne due to beauty medical treatment that stimulated my pimples. Spoken to my cousin who is a Dermatologist suggested me to use Tretinoin cream at night which I tried last night 22.11.17 however I have tried and used so many products already and almost gave up until my Mom's friend advised me to try crushed aspirin which I apply as mask on areas where I needed it and its a blessing coz its the only thing that actually works."


"Taking 10 mg* Paroxetine for hot flashes and night sweats. The first day I took it I saw results that night. The only side effect that I've noticed is occassional  nausea."


"My 6 yr old son started showing signs of ADHD a year ago. He is in kindergarten and he has 3 types of days green- good, yellow-not the best, red-bad day. Every week he was coming home with 2 yellow days a week for calling out and being disruptive for the last 7 months. He started taking Focalin XR 10mg and has a green day everyday since he started the medication. His teachers say how much better he has been at school and he doesn't run a muck through the house anymore. I'm so happy we found Focalin."


"After reading many reviews I decided to give liletta a try. I just got it yesterday. I was pretty nervous and anticipated the pain to be close to labor pains. It was the complete opposite! I had no pain whatsoever nor cramps. I had just started my first post pregnancy cycle two days before and was so close to canceling my appt. My doctor reassured me getting an IUD during your cycle was just fine. I'm so glad I did not cancel. The insertion took about 5 mins and my cycle seemed to have stopped by the time I got home. I have not had any spotting or any other side effects yet. I will give an update in about 6 months."


"I loved this medication, but sadly after taking it for 2 weeks I had the worst menstrual pain in my life. So I re-tried it after that time of the month and the next menstrual cycle was the same, but this medicine made the panic attacks go away, I slept well, my appetite improved, and my mood lifted. The first week is the worst. On it you feel like a zombie but that goes away. I tried all the SSRI's and they made me SO sick...severe nausea, diarrhea, headaches, sweating, felt crazy, made my panic very severe. I wish so much that I could take Remeron it would have saved my life I am sure I felt great on it except the menstrual side effects and the doctor said I couldn't take it for that reason."


"I JUST STARTED TAKING SUBOXONE YESTERDAY AND I AM NOT FEELING AS BAD AS I WAS FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS - GOING FROM 200MG METHADONE A DAY TO NONE.  I AM ONLY TAKING 1  SUBOXONE TABLET A DAY.  I AM HOPEFUL THAT THIS MEDICATION WILL HELP ME LIKE IT HAS HELPED Y ou ALL."


"I started Effexor after the birth of my first child due to post-partum depression. I have never been severely depressed prior to this. My doctor first prescribed Zoloft which did not help at all. After two weeks, I was put on Effexor and started feeling better within a few days. The only side effect that I ever noticed was having no sex drive at all. I stopped taking it after a year (I tapered so I did not notice any withdrawal symptoms everyone talks about) and was recently put back on it due to some family issues pushing me back into a depression. The first few days are rough but I've been on it for a week now and I do feel a difference. My anxiety and mood has improved and I can actually function. This medicine works great for me."


"I've started on the 10 mg. So far so good. I got the first 10 for free. I've tried it with other sleep meds, it seems to perform better with a small amount of Halcion. I think it would perform as good by itself maybe at

15 mg. I'm going to try one more round of 10 tabs (likely the 15 mg). I don't think anything past 20 mgs,

would be advisable. I also have little or no hang over as long as I dose around 10 pm and wake up at 7 am.

I rate it an 8 right now because it requires a lot of forethought to stay on schedule. It's about as effective as halcion but you reach more rem state sleep and experience very little amnesia like one would on halcion."


"So right now, I'm only on week two of course in about two months I will give an update. I'm taking 100mg a day and I am at the awkward stage of the major flare up. My face looks horrible, but I have read reviews saying it's going to take about 4 months to work, I guess I can go 4 months. I also read about the long periods or bleeding everyday, which surprisingly I don't have an issue with. I am on the nuvo ring and  I swear by it, I've been on it for 9 years and no matter what medication I take, I'm not bleeding unless I take the ring out, and as soon as I put it back in I stop bleeding. I'm hoping by my 30th B-Day in Jan I will have clear skin. I also suffer from chin hairs, so I hope these meds help with that as well. update coming soon."


"I have been on Xulane for six months now, and I'm sticking with the patch. Before Xulane I was taking the Depo shot and I had my period for 3months, it was horrible. On Xulane, I do get mood swings, and since  I seem to be tires a lot. I've also gained some noticable wait. These would be the only cons, besides that I love the fact I only have to change the patch once a week, and my period always comes the week when the patch is not required. I've always got my period for nine days now my period is only 5 days. I love it !"


"Paragard Update: It's been exactly 2 months since I've have my Paragard placed. Pros: don't have to worry about taking a pill daily anymore, no hormonal side effects, & most importantly, no pregnancy :). Cons: I can feel the presence of the IUD during sex every now and then, or randomly if I cough or laugh. My Gyno/other IUD users I know said my body needs more time to adjust, but I hate feeling it. Another con is the heavy bleeding (went from 3-4 days pds. to 1 week pds.), but that should also adjust over time. I can't say I love it yet, but I'm willing to give it more time. No birth control method is perfect, but you have to be willing to give it a shot if the pros outweigh the cons. In my opinion, nothing's worse than that pill!"


"This is a wonderful drug for when my Allegra doesn't fully control my AR symptoms. It makes me feel sleepy and a bit dizzy, but it's totally worth it. Just don't take this drug if you have to drive anywhere."


Aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"I have had severe migraines all my life (35 yrs) tried every other medicine out there- this is the ONLY medicine that works 100% of the time with no bad side effects. All the other medicines had side effects and didn't even take away the headache more than 50%! They ARE discontinuing prescribing this for migraines this year. When they do- I do not know what I will do besides lay in bed all day because Fiorinal is the only thing that makes me able to function when I have a migraine."


"I've had two shots already, and so far it's been almost perfect. I actually switched to this because I'm slightly underweight and I've heard many stories about women gaining weight on the shot, so I switched in hopes that I would. So far I haven't noticed any significant weight gain, the only side effects I've had are headaches for about the first week after getting the shot and I started getting acne on my face. I've never had acne, so this was kind of disappointing for me. It's nice not having to remember to take a pill every day and my periods are already almost non-existent. Plus my insurance covers this so the prescription is free and there's no fee when I go to get the shot!"


"Within 2 hours of taking the first dose, I had a persistent out of the blue cough and my lungs were feeling heavy and hurting. It was scary. I called the Dr. next morning and they switched me to Dulfuran I think, I'm picking it up today. I'm NOT dealing with that crazy cough for a whole week. And these other reviews sound like it would only get even worse."


"I have only been taking this drug for two weeks but I believe it has saved my life. I have taken so many drugs that did not work I could hardly believe this began working in just over a week. My severe depression has not gone completely but the change is huge in such a short time. I think the doctor will probably increase my dose, only on 75mg daily, and I am hopeful I will be in total remission quite soon. "


"Reduction in urination frequency has been a welcome effect however retrograde ejaculation and congestion have been unwelcome side effects."


"I don't feel any different taking this medicine. I feel the same way on it as I do off it. I am going to ask my doctor to change me to something else."


"I was on Orthocept for about 4 months and for the first 2 and 1/2-3 months it was great! It regulated my periods, and they only lasted 2-3 days which was awesome! I did have worse cramps then I did when I wasn't on the pill but they tended to last only about 2 days. I had to quit Orthocept when I was just about finished my 4th pack because I found that it was like I was PMSing for 3 weeks at a time and my period wouldn't stop. When I first started the pill it was  phenomenal and never once did I feel like I would get pregnant even without using a condom (I always took my pill within 5 minutes of the same time everyday). I highly recommend this, I know everyone's experience will be very individual but I loved it for the first while."


"This medicine has been a game changer for me. At first I was terrified of taking this drug.  After reading Catholic Guide to Depression and much prayer I had the courage to take the medicine.  I'm so glad I did.  It actually reduced "body aches". I'm running  again, 6 days a week.    It's not a miracle pill, but a fantastic tool in defeating depression and body aches. Peace!"


"I've had this since 2002 and had an okay experience but recently, I got diagnosed high blood preasure 214/115 (normal 120/70) when I was in with a nasty headache. Thinking back I've had headache on and off for about 3 years and now I'm connecting the two, so please beware and check with you doctor!
I'm sorry to say that I will remove it to see if it changes it."


"Helps take the edge off anxiety to where I can control it better. Also helps my social anxiety a lot and little with obsessive compulsive disorder. Overall it helps a lot!"


"My vjay jay is still on fire more than 2 hours later. It's my birthday today and am not having a fun time. Monistat, NEVER again!!"


"This drug has destroyed my Achilles Tendon. Be warned not to take it as this could happen to you too. It is not a 'rare' side effect and tens of thousands more more reliving with this effect. It is time they took this drug off the market. So many people online are affected with permanent injuries from this drug and it's sister medications, Avelox and Levaquin. Cipro and it's sister medication are shown to cause Collage and Tendon destruction and 'mitochondrial toxicity' in research. Avoid. Losing my ability to work. This means huge financial losses for me and my young family."


"After trying a few different medicines (with no benefits)  my doctor pulled out the big guns and gave me Clomipramine. I have severe OCD but the purely obsessional (intrusive thoughts). I used to be a checker and handwasher though.

I took it for over 1 year, Unfortunately Clomipromine did nothing for me on 250 mg, which is pretty much the highest dose you can take. I did not have alot of side effects except dry mouth when I was on it.

I quit taking it after I ran out on a holiday weekend and saw the withdrawal symptoms, severe nausea. And even when tapering slowly off it over the course of months I still had terrible withdrawals (vomiting and nausea).

"


"I'm on Depokote 250mg in the morning and 500mg at night. I am also on olanzapine 5mg and fluoxetine 20mg which works wonders together. I have bipolar and whilst on Depokote suffered a bad spell of depression so was put on fluoxetine which has changed my life, I'm such a happier calmer person now."


"I had the implant fitted in May last year due to not being able to take the combined pill as I suffer with Migraines and was advised to try the implant. It does  the job when it comes to contraception but the side effects are hard!! I've experienced spotting ever since having it fitted so was put on the mini pill as well to control it (worst idea ever, too many hormones!!!) . I've also been struggling with terrible acne on my face, neck and back. Even with the help of other medication from the doctors, nothing has helped and it's starting to get me down. I will be having this removed within the next couple of weeks :("


"I started taking Benicar once daily last summer after being diagnosed with High Blood Pressure.  I am 100 lbs overweight and this trip to the doctor for HBP began my quest for weight loss surgery.  Benicar was working okay initially but cardiologist finally put me on Benicar HCT to help with the water retention. BEST CHOICE EVER!  I couldn't believe how great I felt.  Felt like a 20 something year old again.  Had my lap band surgery in January and now I'm down 40 lbs since last summer and guess what? No more Benicar HCT.  However I do carry it with me per my cardiologist's advice if I experience any further HBP problems. I highly recommend Benicar HCT.  Have told my brothers and my mother to all ask their doctors about it."


"The first month from 179 lbs down to 161lbs= 15 mg the whole time.

Now using 30 mg and the first 8 days.
From 161 lbs to 154lbs. It would make me very happy if I can make it the next 3 weeks down to 145 lbs. Then I have prescription for 37mg the last month. If I will make it down to 130 lbs in June, well I can't ask for more."


"Allergic reaction"


"I've had an over active bladder  for years and have had several medications with little effect. Then came the suggestion of Botox.  My Doctor provided me with almost zero counselling on the effects.  THEN, just as I was about to be put under, she asked me how much Botox did I want her to administer.  Dah!....   should that be my decision????  I wish I had never heard of Botox.  I had the Botox treatment on July 1, 2016 and  it's now Jan. 10,  and I have not been able to urinate without a catheter since which OVER 6 months now.  Beware, Beware."


"I have been on Neurontin for about a year now.  I started with 300 mg. a day and now take 400 mg a day.  This medicine has given me my life back.  I was having 4-6 headaches a month, each lasting 1-4 days.  I was taking Zomig 4-6 times a month along with Excedrin Migraine and Fiorinal.  Now I only get 1-2 headaches a month and they are very mild.  I can usually get rid of them with one dose of Excedrin Migraine or Fiorinal.  Side effects are weight gain and some slight brain "fuzziness" but nothing serious. I had previously tried a beta blocker and an antidepressant and the side effects were horrible, plus I still had the headaches.  I am very happy with Neurontin."


"Lyrica seems to help with the pain, but it also has an effect of making my hands shake"


"It took about five days to get into my system. It was around the holidays and it really helped. My confidence seemed to have changed for the better. I've been on Lexapro for 4 months. I still have a bad day every now and again but they are not severe as they were and I tolerate them much better."


"Great for chronic pain. Tough withdrawal. Patches can fall off without use of clear tape. You don't have to worry about taking a pill on time. Low to no breakthrough pain."


"I am a critical care nurse for over 7 years. I have given prep to hundreds of patients over the years, this is my first self experience. At 28 years old, I have to have a colonoscopy and EGD for abdominal pain and bloody stools for over 3 weeks. I have a pretty diverse palate and eat some crazy things, but this: HORRIBLE! I choked down every swig. Smells half decent, tastes terrible. Called my doctor and there really isn't any other prep available. So, I did what I had to do. I will say, the effects weren't terrible. No cramping. No bloating. Only nausea was the gagging to get it down. A few watery stools. I understand it's most likely because of the electrolyte mix, but O. M. G! Something needs to be done about the taste! Indescribable!"


"Used nuvessa a few nights ago for recurrent BV . Has worked so far. If it does not come back I will get back on and give it a 10 rating. My prob is it always comes back. Will let you know later...."


"I have just started taking the z-pack a few days ago and am already starting to feel A LOT better! I have sinusitus, an ear ache that was caused by a middle ear infection and so far, the pains are a lot more tolerant! THANK YOU Z-PACK!!"


"I was on the patch for about 4 years and I absolutely loved it. They switched from the Ortho Evra to the Xulane and I loved them both. Xulane is just a little smaller and sticks a lot better. I had no bad side effects, I bled for about 3 days every month after taking off my patch. I recently switched to Skyla and I am having horrible cramps with it. I am looking forward to switching back to the patch soon."


"I got prescribed microbid. read all kind of review good and bad ones. Decides to give it a try. Ate like a pig and took the pill. I got so sick. I was light headed (like I consumed all kind of drugs) had sharp pain in my stomach. Got a fever. My back...ohh my back killed me. And I had difficulties breathing. Felt like I got kicked by a horse. I called sick 2 days in a row for work. And I only took 2 pills. Im stopping it. Gonna end up in the coffin much faster with that medication, I was all normal before taking that medication with a bit of UTI...now feel like I'm a rotten vegetable :("


"I was given 10mg and a week later he went up to 20mg. So far I have had constant yawning, sweating attacks, nausea and now diarrhea. I also have problems sleeping at night and this made me tired in afternoon, but I now split dose, 1 before bed and one when I get up...that has helped the symptoms and they are less bothersome now. The sweating is the worst, I ordered Odaban and it is wonderful! You can even apply it to your face and head and that is where I sweat. I have not have any more feelings of doom and  gloom and excessive worrying. I feel like I am getting back to normal but it's been 2 weeks and I'm not there yet. So I guess so far so good."


"Seems to be working for me."


"I have schizoaffective disorder. Got most of the 'call your doctor' side effects. Was so cold, I was freezing in a tub of scalding water. Body aches were worse than the time I broke my arm. Couldn't stop shaking or twitching.
i am absolutely terrified of this medication."


"Good for my mood swings. Evens me out mentally. Anxiety decrease.

Decrease of libido 90%"


"It seems like every time, I go to get my injections now, after all the injections(usually 40-45). That evening, I start with the worst headache ever and keep it for ( this time - Injections were on Friday 7/15 and today is 7/20). I'll probably have to go get a shot of Depakote to kill it on 7/21.I take topomax 200 mg. A day as a preventive, but I don't know.

My doctor doesn't want to give me migraine meds., due to the fact I'm on so many medications already. Hrs worried about stroke or heart attack, because of my Bp and chronic pain meds., and leaky heart valves.

I'm just sick of headaches all the Damn time."


"I suffer from generalized anxiety, and my phichiatrist prescribed me 10mg Paxil even though I already take 25mg of seroquel. I took it on Friday Morning was good all day. I took it on Saturday, I was a bit sluggish. Sunday morning I took it at church I felt a sudden cold sensation of  the back of my head and down my back. I had to leave early because I started to feel weird. Around 3am I woke up feeling scared out my mind for no reason. I couldn't go back to sleep. The next day I spend all day anxious than at night after I took the seroquel. I was still anxious I laid down and started getting sleepy. My husband was holding me and when I opened my eyes a few seconds later my entire body was tingling. It was one of the worst feelings  ever."


"This is my second time trying this medication. The first time I was not ready and didn't really make any lifestyle changes and didn't lose weight. So my Dr recommend it again and even said that he was going to take it too. That had me motivated and needless to say when I went back for my month follow up, he walked right past me because he said he almost didn't recognize me. I have been on this medication for about 6 months and I'm down 37lbs! Largest weight loss in my life!! I started at 264lb. I don't exercise but I have been practicing clean eating. Only eating salmon and no other meat, and eating veggies and fruit. It's been working.... and my Dr is also down some lbs!!!"


"This is absolutely the WORST birth control I have taken in my life. I switched to Junel Fe, because my previous birth control wasn't a high enough dosage to even slightly relieve my horrible periods. Not even 3 days after starting taking it I literally cry for no reason and I am very emotional and irritable. This pill turned me psycho. Do NOT recommend it at all."


"I had mine implanted  about 2 years ago. The insertion was easy, the only pain was from the numbing needle which wasn't hardly any pain at all. I don't have periods, just light spotting every now and then. My face dies break out now and then nothing crazy. The only downside is that I have completely lost my libido. I am 30 years old and used to have a high sex drive and now my sex drive is non existent. Which is why I am planning to have this removed as soon as possible because I'm tired of living like this."


"Worked very well for intrusive thoughts OCD for 5 months and then when I missed dosages and tried starting back on it again it stopped working. Other than that I had no problems with Zoloft."


"I have migraine 8 years now every day I only started atenolol 2 weeks now since I started I have not gotten one migraine so its working for me"


"Tried it for a month. For me it was ineffective."


"Hi I am a 28 year old female. I started taking this pill 5/9/2010 and went in at a weight of 248lbs. Went back in on 6/21/10 and lost 8 pounds. It seems to be working very well and I just feel anxious sometimes but overall I have a lot of energy. We shall see when I go in next month and I'm also on a 1200 calorie diet which is working well for me along with exercise."


"I had been in bed depressed for like six months. I had tried several antidepressants that did not help for some reason. My Dr.@ the time gave me samples of Fetzima. I had never heard of it. So over time it began to work and it was a miracle for me because I had literally given up on life itself. I was thinking about changing because I have severe back pain and some antidepressants say they help with physical pain but I think of how far I've come from being suicidal and not able to get out of bed or stop crying. I will stick with the Fetzima. Thanks who ever makes it you helped me a great deal. I say the good out weighs the small side effects I get like sweats & back pain. Worth a try."


"I take the XR, and it allows me to focus throughout the day at work and in classes. I can actually sit down and complete a task, I can get something done (for once), and the only side effects I really experienced were a bit of dry mouth at first and some continued loss of appetite. Otherwise, completely effective. Unfortunately, my insurance company only covers the brand name. Otherwise, it would be much, much cheaper. It's the brunt of my monthly prescription costs."


"Do NOT take this medication. I am 22 years old and have been on the pill since 16. I was having intense menstrual bleeding so my doctor prescribed me a higher dose and ended up giving me this brand. It did not help my cramps what so ever and it made me very emotional. I lost all of my sex drive and became very dry down there. The most scary part is yet to come...  A month and a half into it I became EXTREMELY dizzy and light headed. I decided to finish up the month then get off of it. However 2 weeks off of it and I am still extremely dizzy and lightheaded. I have gotten every blood test and nothing comes up. I have seen that several other women experienced pulmonary embolism in the lungs and will be getting this checked out. DO NOT USE!"


"I got prescribed this to take every 6 hours for a week after getting my second ever UTI 2 weeks after trimethoprim cleared up my first. About an hour after taking it I get a bit nauseous, have a bit of a headache and feel a bit tired, but it's 100x better than having a UTI. Would take it again."


"my first week using this medicine I lose 5 pounds with out excise im on day three and my stomach going down I don't have no side effects yet because I drink two cups a pill then eat something a drink another cup it's lower my blood pressure really good but if I lay down I get a little tired thts it"


"It is good when it comes to controlling urges to use heroin. A very good medication, I have not yet gone through withdrawal symptoms."


"I am on 6mg of the 24hour release ropinirole and I think I've found the solution. I take 2mg in the afternoon then 4mg an hour before bed and after living with restless legs syndrome for 45 years driving me insane for many years I actually think I may have found the solution, highly recommended."


"Don't use this if you have an addictive personality...almost killed me"


"Started taking Fortesta at 59 yrs.  Low energy levels and the tests revealed a problem with T levels.  Do have more energy.  Do sometimes experience a shaky feeling during the day.  Have reduced the amount to try to reduce the shaky part.  Still a positive experience.  I think you have to decide what levels to take based on your experience and not necessarily by the lab results.  Glad to have this as an option.  Some seem to think the higher the better, but I think the side effects of that mentality could be dangerous.  I'm going to take the least amount that gives the desired results.  And... increased libido is nice, but that wasn't the reason for the medication!"


"so much acne! I have bad headaches, gained 10 pounds, and I am feelings super depressed and tired."


"I will be suffering from my back pain and take lortab 10/500 and within 20 minutes I'm back to living life pain free and puts me in a great mood. Best pain killer out there. I've tried vicodin and norco and percocets and they work okay but I love my lortab. I highly recommend for lower back pain."


"My period was late for 1 week, besides that it is working for me"


"I've been on this pill for over three months and Tri-Spintec has good and bad aspects. The good thing is its contraceptive. The not so good things are: my period lasts about ten days; I have really bad mood swings before; it causes nausea and lastly my acne has gotten worse. I used Ortho Tri-Cyclen since I was nineteen and it was absolutely wonderful. "


"I was prescribed trazodone at 20 years old for depression I took it for 21 years I was also an alcoholic for 21 years my blood pressure was so high the doctor had to change my medication I was petrified as I'd relied on trazodone for so long within 3 weeks taking a new anti depressant metrazapine I'd become the teetotaler  that was over 3 years ago can't stand smell of alcohol I was a chronic alcoholic all them years 4 residential rehabilitations even embarrassed as I am to admit it but 4 pregnancys didn't stop my dependency I say it had the opposite effect on me why a GP didn't pick up on it I really don't know"


"I had been off birth control for about a year when I decided I wanted to go back on it. My doctor recommended Reclipsen; she believe it would clear up the little bit of acne that I had on my cheeks and forehead. I took Reclipsen for 4 months in total and it was a nightmare. The first month my breasts were extremely tender. They were tender to the point that it was painful to sleep in various positions and I could hardly exercise due to the pain. By month 2 I started to feel like my whole body was swollen. My face also looked swollen, and my acne actually became much worse! I lost my sex drive and felt miserable. I stopped taking it because I felt like I was becoming a monster! Lutera was much better for me, so I'm back to that!"


"This medicine is a life saver. As soon as I start taking the medicine, I seen an immediate response. I love it."


"This was awful! I got my first shot at UVA two days after my first baby was born. They pushed it in me and didn't mention any side effects. Stopped bleeding (from giving birth) three weeks later. After about a week it started again and hasn't stopped. I got a second shot because they told me that can happen from my body getting used to the hormones. But I never went back for my third. Over six months later, I'm still bleeding, almost a month after I should've gone in for a third shot. I don't know what to do. It's exhausting. I'm constantly tired, moody and depressed and I want to eat everything in sight! I wouldn't recommend this method of birth control for anyone!"


"I also have Fibromyalgia and Stenosis, and for five years my doctors prescribed many different medications.....finally I have a combination that puts me to sleep, KEEPS me asleep (before I'd wake up a dozen times a night) and I have NO side effects. I'm taking 90mg of Cymbalta once a day, 7.5 Norco three times a day, 10mg Valium three times a day and Elavil 25mg at bed time. I still have pain and stiffness but I can sleep thru the night. My mood has improved and I'm better able to deal with my health issues and life situations. It took a long time to get to this point but it was well worth the wait as I am sleeping 8-10 hours a night now, my dark circles are nearly gone and I'm happier because I feel rested."


"So I gave it an ok review score because it did make feel less depressed. However, as a whole I think cymbalta is bad for you and can lead to terrible health consequences. The side effects I experienced while taking the drug (30 mgs for 6 months) were horrible and I gained a ton of weight which didn't help the initial cause of me wanting to take the drug - depression (when you don't feel confident your less happy, what can I say). A few lbs to become a happier person is ok, but it really made me gain weight and also made me tired, nausea, sweaty, and experience muscle spasms. Along with this, withdrawing was horrible. I wish big pharma would be less money hungry and focus on creating effective medications with reduced side effects."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"No problem at all tastes watered down cough syrup.Get it cold 1st and don't stop drinking until its gone be by the toilet in about 10 min after drinking the prep and drink lots of water.Its all over in about 2hrs"


"I have been on depo since I was 16 and I am now 21 years old. I have had a great experience overall with the shot. When I first got the shot I did bleed/spot for almost a month straight. The bleeding did go away and now it only occurs when I am due for my shot. It has been awesome to not have a period and not worry about taking a pill, but I have heard it is not good for you after a certain amount of years so I am having to find another source of birth control."


"I used to be on 200mg of sertraline but after 12 years on this medicine I started having severe problems with anxiety after a good friend's death, this eventually led to a near breakdown 3 years later when my anxiety became so bad I could barely function.  My Dr suggested I switch to escitalopram.  I was terrified of making this switch & put it off for weeks but eventually decided to 'take the plunge'. 4 days later and my anxiety levels are already reducing HUGELY! I wish I'd taken this sooner & can't believe how easy the switch was. I literally stopped taking my 200mg of sertraline one day and started taking 20mg of escitalopram the next. This stuff's a life saver!"


"Good pill, does what it's supposed to- protects from pregnancy. Clears acne. Regulates periods. BUT mood swings were definitely noticed, and a small weight gain (10lbs or less). I had always weighed around 130 and have been 140 with the pill, and extremely moody- extremely happy or extremely sad- no medium. Every person will have different reactions obviously, just sharing my own experiences."


"Gained weight and joint pain"


"I've taken Belviq for 7 days now & I'm down 7lbs. Belviq is wonderful! I recommend this to anyone who wants to lose weight."


"On a minimum dose had significant memory problems and depression (lost 16 pounds)."


"I am in the same situation as above.  This is my fifth day of having hemorrhoids and have used ALL the over the counter medicines.  Proctofoam seems like it helps more.  This is my first day of use, so hopefully the swelling subsides soon.  Definitely better though."


"If I could give a rating of 0, I would.  I had very heavy bleeding from fibroid.    It was supposed to slow down bleeding and shrink fibroid. This drug made it worse. And the fibroid did not shrink.  Terrible experience."


"Have been taking Saxenda since mid July 2015. Starting weight 303 lbs. Very few side affects, maybe some nausea for a day at each dose increase but nothing at all since then. Along with the medication have been carefully controlling calorie intake, which has been made much easier with Saxenda, and exercising frequently. Total weight loss is 40 lbs, however I have been at a plateau for about a month. Will stay on the medication and work on ways to break through this plateau."


"It only made the pain in my arm mild.  It did not go away.  I am in school and do a lot of typing and my arm, shoulder and sometimes fingers experience lots of pain so my doctor gave me these pills.  They do not work well for me because I still feel the aches and pain just not as bad.  When I take two, I get sleepy, take a nap then I can operate almost pain free for at least 4-5 hours."


"I am not one to write reviews, but I'm compelled to warn others about the serious side effects I've experienced. I took Gianvi after I took Yaz, and because both pills contain the same amount of hormones, I thought that I will have the same, fine experience with Gianvi as I did with Yaz. Upon my first week into the pill, I became depressed and dealt with some serious anxiety. These mental symptoms only worsened as the days progressed and as I approached the end of the pack, I suffered constant suicidal thoughts. Once I realized that this pill was the cause of my madness, I immediately stopped. It's been 2 days since I last took the pill and I feel better already. Also, the pill did nothing for my moderately to severe acne."


"I did not think it would work but let me tell you I'M A BELIEVER!!!  IT WORKS !! GET IT TODAY DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR!"


"I brought this dam combo set because it was a three day pack. I'm currently on antibiotics am naturally I got a yeast infection. So of course I had to do smething. OMG I used this crap an the second I put it on I was itching so damN bad I wanted to take off my vagina and throw it away. I took a shower an now I wanna cry. $20 to make this infection worse I so wanna sue those jerks. Now I'm sitting here with a dang ice pack. So I went from burning and itching to freezing my crotch off. Never never again."


"It doesn't work that great for pain but it does wonders for restless leg syndrome and stuff similar to that"


"This product works well with my high cholesterol great medicine"


"I was prescribed Prozac for clinical depression, the unfortunate side effect of Prozac is insomnia. So I was prescribe Trazodone.

The awesome: I fall asleep within 20 min of taking it. 25mg = 4 hrs sleep, 50mg = 8 hrs sleep. If I have a potty break in the middle of the night I can fall back to sleep in short order.

The not-awesome: I feel like I'm slightly drunk/high/off the next day. I mean I guess that's awesome if you don't have a job that requires critical thinking in a B2B environment, but since I do, I can't continue to take it & function at the level I need to at work."


"My dad is in the last stages of congestive heart failure. This mainly means he still functions as much as he can but will continue to degrade. His heart seemed to hurt very consistently. His Dr. gave him Nitro-bid. He applied it as a cream to the chest area 1 or 2 times a day. After less than 2 months he was only using it as needed which was perhaps 1-2 times a month. A very good, fast acting addition to comfort care."


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


"I have two ruptured discs in my back which cause severe pain.  Lortab has been a great pain reliever.  I would recommend it to anyone with a severe pain problem."


"For years I had been battling behavior problems with my son who is now 10. He was not a bad child but had no concentration span, would fidget, annoy others and was falling way behind children the same age as him. Finally we managed to get him seen by a specialist. He is now been on Ritalin 15mg for 4 months and the change is unbelievable. He is already catching up with his school work, making more friends as he understands them better and is generally just more content and happy. At first he was teary and clingy when first put on them but that soon went. The only down for my son is that he is not as hungry as he used to be and lost a lot of weight in the beginning but is steadily putting it back on now."
