"This is about my woman who is on zoloft......  Two years with my woman we never needed any lube. Now I'm worried she is like a desert. Calmer now that her little zoloft friends in "her head" tell her to stay calm it's OK.  I'll keep you up to date with her "progress"  with her voices "


"Not an approved use however nothing worked before this. We have a horse who has a chronic open wound on her belly due to fly bites. Every thing we applied over the years just dripped off and never healed anything. Fly blankets did not help protect her nor did fly spray. This spring I applied a tin layer to the area (scarred til opened by fly bites) and it did not get chewed open. I had one tube which I would rather not say how I obtained it. I wish I could get more. It is a miracle as far as I am concerned."


"Didn't take away pain in 1 months"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Had my first colonoscopy 5/30/17. I was having serious anxiety about doing this prep, after reading all the reviews. Most importantly, you want a tolerable effective clean out. I noted some advice from fellow preceding preppers, so here is my advice. Premedicate with anti nausea med 2 hours before each bottle (Phenergan 25 mg). Plug nose with wet paper towels to dull sense of taste prior to opening. Drink room temp, probably helps with body chills and nausea to do this. I drank it slow (over 30 minutes) a few drinks then suck on sugar coated lemon slice and spit, rinse mouth out with another beverage. Drink 16 oz. water per next 30 minutes x 2. No reason to chug, that makes you nauseated. I had no cramping, works in about an hour."


"Took one tablet at around half six as it is my prom tomorrow and I hadn't been in over a week and was beginning to become depressed again. It is now 11:15pm and I have just went finally. Extreme cramping ten minutes before hand, on the same scale as servere period pains and it feels although I may have ripped something internally as when I went I felt a stabbing pain on my lower left side of my tummy. Cramps are easing now but please do yourself a favour and take ONE tablet and drink over THREE glasses of water at least to ease everything. It should start working in around six hours if you do it right. No diarrhoea or vomiting but I feel a little faint. I'll update if I get worse, so if I don't update just assume it all goes fine "


"I am 21 and have suffered from major anxiety attacks and chronic depression the past few years and took every antidepressant tables going which have never made a difference. My doctor prescribed me with 2mg diazepam I took one with a cup of tea and I've never felt so calm and relaxed in my life and slept like a baby for the first time in six months. I highly recommend these if you suffer from the same problems one negative is they give me the munchies."


"I've been on it for 2 years and YES it is a great drug to help with anxiety. Without it my life wouldn't be the same at all. It is very hard to come off of. But you have to make a choice to live with the pain of anxiety or be addicted to something that fixes the problem. Neither one is great but I don't like pain."


"I received this implant 11/13/15. Insertion was quick,painless until after a few minutes. Purplish bruising began, heavy bleeding, dime to quater clots as well. Bleeding and spoting (red and brown) has lasted on and off since insertion day. The first week at least. Cramps got worse, moods varied frequently and depression came about. Bad acne, dry mouth and pelvic pains also becomes apparent. Weight fluctuates. Prevents pregnancy and doesn't interrupt breastfeeding but wouldn't recommend."


"If I was not prescribed methadone for my withdrawals/addiction I would have never been able to be clean. And I believe without a shadow of a doubt that I would be dead if not for this treatment. "


"I am on a trial pack starting from 25 mg with an increases of 15 - 20 mg a week. I am at my second week at 40mg and so for all I feel is the side effects. I found that if I take it on an empty stomach I get extremely nauseous for about and hour or two. I can't really tell if it's working yet since I'm only in my second week, but so far I'm not too optimistic. I was on Wellbutrin before and that had little to no effect on me. I don't feel depressed at all but I will say my anxiety has diminished. As for the ADD I guess will just have to wait and see."


"Although Avandia was very efficient in controlling my blood sugars, I had a reaction to it which resulted in my heart skipping beats beating very hard.  While on Avandia, I was unable to complete stress tests.  After quitting Avandia, I have had no more heart problems and can now successfully complete stress tests."


"Well, I have had Implanon for almost 2 years. I spotted for about 6 months the first year and have not had a period since. It was definitely a blessing in itself because I have always had horrible periods. Unfortunately, in these past 2 years I have gained a considerable amount of weight. I usually weighed from 110-115 and Now I am almost 130 lbs. Grant it, I am in nursing school, so my stress level is very high BUT I have never had trouble with my weight before. I have gone up a whole bra size! My breasts stay sore constantly as well. I am almost 23 years old, so I don't know if this has to do with my age or what. It's wild. I have always been so tiny and bam as soon as I get this, I struggle with my weight."


"Having tried so many other drugs for this has been extremely difficult and disheartening.  Vyvanse is a GAME CHANGER!!"


"I love it"


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I've had a colonoscopy every year since I was 10 years old. I am now 31. I have Crohns disease. I have had diarrhea for two weeks, after drinking this, I had the first solid BM. Last time I will let my DR prescribe this as prep."


"I am so thankful for this medication. At first, I was terrified to take any medication since the only pill I've ever been prescribed is birth control. Being a military wife with a year old daughter and relocating and being away from my family, anxiety hit me hard! I would lay in bed thinking that I would NEVER feel normal again. I was prescribed Effexor XR 37.5mg for the first week or so, and I did not have any side effects from it and actually felt better within days! Now I am at 70mg and I feel great. No panic attacks, no anxiety! If you were like me a couple of months ago, sitting here wondering if you should ask your doctor about trying this medicine, GO FOR IT! You can and will feel normal again."


"Postpartum hair loss:The 2nd day of taking this I had a bad headache but I get them occasionally so I didn't connect the two. The 3rd time I woke up at 4 am and had severe hives covering my body. I took two Benadryl and waited and hour or so. It helped relieve the itching but my throat began to swell and it was difficult to breathe. My husband took me to the ER and I was given steroids and Pepcid. Finally the hives went away and I felt better so was discharged and slept for like 4 hours. Woke up with a headache so I took more benedryl which the doctor advised. All this to say, I will not be taking it anymore. I'll wear a scarf until my hair grows back! Not worth it! Plus they smell so bad and one night I kept belching that awful taste."


"Azor has brought my pressure down to 120/80."


"Used this on great grandson. He gets diaper rash easily, this protects him from getting it and heals and soothes if he gets diaper rash when we don't use this to protect."


"Terrible allergic and other reactions.   Doctor did not check blood levels and I actually had no deficiencies or reason to be on this.  I got very very sick from it.   Do not take unless you have ALL proof you need it... including labs showing deficiencies of l meyhylfolate in your blood"


"I have been taking enbrel for 11 years.  I worked great for me until the last year when it gradually stopped working.  I did the self injection 2X week.  Over the last year the relief subsided 2 days after the shots and then when I took the next 3-4 days from the last it would take 24 hours for the relief to kick in, sometimes no relief. My doctor said he wants me to take Humira but for some reason (irrational or not) I am terrified of changing medicines.  I had no side effects from Enbrel except some minor sinus irritation -not infections.  I am worried I won't be so lucky with another medicine.  "


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


"I've been on Quasense for 7 weeks and 5 days and as of today I have been bleeding for 7 WEEKS STRAIGHT! I started my "period" 3 days after taking my first pill and I haven't stopped bleeding since. The first 3-4 weeks were constant heavy bleeding and then it begin to taper off(actually giving me hope). Weeks 4-6 were pretty light, brown blood here and there(but still consistent daily) throughout the day and I was even more hopeful. Week 6 the bleeding began to become heavy again.....Now here it is week 7 and I'm bleeding like I would be on my normal period! I'm OVER IT! This is STUPID!"


"I randomly started getting bad acne on my cheeks and chin a year ago, after using epiduo it got a lot better. Recently at 18 I've been seeing some flare ups so my Derm perscribed this antibiotic for me. After just a couple days I was pleased that the drug was preventing any new breakouts (it wasn't really clearing up the existing spots though). I started noticing that I would get extremely dizzy really easily, after a week on this pill I can not stand without feeling like I'm going to throw up and My acne seems WORSE. I will NEVER take Minocycline again!"


"I've been using opiates for 8 yrs now the past 3 I have been a heavy IV heroin user. I have been to at least 10 different programs relapsing every time so I'm considered to be a chronic relapser. This time I chose the vivitrol shot I just got this about 5 days ago on the day I was released from rehab and I can guarantee you if it wasn't for this I would be high. This is early in but I have no cravings my mind is clear Definitely going to get the whole year my insurance is goin to pay out.. As for side effects maybe small common ones that you can look up but nothing to complain about. This is the shit y'all, ain't not one bad thing....go get you some"


"I just got my Mirena and could not be happier.

I was apprehensive of the pain due to horror stories that seem to be everywhere. DO NOT BELIEVE THE FEAR!

First of all, I have a male gynaecologist. If you're unsure about a male, have no fear! Mine was amazing and spoke frankly but honestly and really comforted me. I had been advised to take 15mg of Murelax and some ibprofen. Although I had taken the Murelax as directed (1 hour prior) my nerves were still extremely high. My gynaecologist, he said he would administer a local anaesthetic to my cervix. This really spiked my anxiety.

The ENTIRE procedure was done in about 3 minutes. It was really a 2/10 "pain" and more discomfort. I've had appendicitis & the implanon. This was a walk in the park!"


"I've been on sertraline for almost a year now. On the 25mg I didn't notice any kind of difference. I was suffering from major depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts. My dr bumped me up to a 50mg dose & have stayed here for about 8 months now. My girlfriend calls it my "happy pills" because when I forget to take a dose or two, everyone can tell."


"I have never been on any anxiety or depression medicine ever, but I have suffered severely, emotionally and financially in the last 3 years.  Everything came to a head about 2 months ago.  I went to a psychiatrist for the 1st time yesterday and went on Pristiq this morning.  I guess it's too soon to officially review it but now I just have an overall sense of CALM.  Maybe a little bit of fogginess, but I'm sure that will subside.  I have a baby and a toddler, plus I babysit and I felt so much less irritable than I did before.  I didn't have much of an appetite, so I hope weight loss will be an added benefit. Wish me luck!"


"I just got the botox done on my armpits as well as my palms. The hands hurt a lot more than the armpits but I%u2019m not seeing a difference. The sweat is still there and I still have to be cautious of the material I wear as well as the color. Also, I am still feeling a lot of pain in my hands and have muscle weakness. "


"after reading everyones experience with tramadol I feel better knowing it wasn't just me having withdrawals. H-codone couple days little stomach tightness no problem. Tramadol real sick feeling, now been 4 days without. starting to get better no bad stomach feeling did think I was getting the flu but sounds like everyone else trying to quit had the same symptoms. I have a script waiting for me at the pharmacy and that's where its staying. wasn't much help anyway."


"It's very effective!!! I don't have a problem with heavy bleeding or bleeding for long periods of time. I do have back pains, mood swings,and a lump in my left breast. I have gained 30 pounds and my hair is shedding!!!!!! I can't want to get this removed!!!! I have never had a weight problem."


"I have been on this medication for a year now. Originally I was put on it to help decrease my terrible cramps and throbbing migraines. The first 6 months it worked like a charm. The only side effects I had were mood swings and after the first 3 months I was able to control them. However starting in January, my migraines started coming back, in February debilitating cramps came back. At first we thought it was because I had switched allergy medications, but found that not to be the case after switching back to my old one. I will be switching to another choice. However, it has been effective as a birth control, and in shortening periods (mine to only 4 days)."


"Was put on this for anxiety/pain. Although it did help with anxiety, it made me very weak in the legs.  So much so that I can't stand it. I am prescribed 60 mg, but I take 15 mg to keep the edge off. Im told weakness in muscles is not a side effect. Garbage ! I see in some comments that few others have it. Doctors act like we don't know our own bodies. ...So frustrating!"


"Worse pain and total lack of movement."


"Overall excellent medicine, but soreness at injection site and water retention."


"Been taking trileptal to control seizures for about 8 months. Have seizures as a result of a low grade, inoperable brain tumor in left temporal lobe. Seizures only last about 2 minutes. Tried Keppra ( did not completely control them, higher does left me in a constant fog and suffering suicidal ideation), Lamictal - developed horrible rash during titration and now Trileptal. Seizures have been controlled, so far, on 750mg AM and PM. I do feel somewhat tired until I get used to the dose and then the doc increase it again. He wants to get to 900 mg AM and PM. I am troubled by the weight gain - a lot! I do use more salt in my meals ( never did before, had to buy a salt shaker!) and drink a sports drink - low cal - each day. I miss my wine."


"The first weeks were a bit difficult. I had diarrhea but I assure you this won't last. Take it with food, not just milk. I did have some nightmares from which I could not easily awaken, when I stepped up to Viibryd 20 and was not careful about taking the medicine at exactly the same time, resolved by taking it in the the morning instead of the evening. Viibryd has only a 24 half-life. I did have some temporary morning headaches when it was past time for me to take the medicine. Dr advised take Viibryd 20 at dinner time, which left enough in my system to avoid morning headaches. I'm back to just 40, feeling great! Hang in through the side effects-it's life changing! Join our Viibryd support group on this site too! See you there!"


"Very very effective. I take 2 10mg tabs a day with tramadol. I don't know how it would work without the tramadol but I would say pretty good. The only downside is the constipation that comes with most narcotics but it's a small price to pay for a pain free life."


"Ropinerol works for my jumpy legs, but I had to start taking it earlier and earlier.  Now believe me side effects are real.  I became reckless with money - my credit score dropped from 700s to 500s. I started to gamble so bad I would gather all the change in the house just to be able to play the slots.  I would gamble instead of paying the mortgage."


"I'm a 23 yr old with severe anxiety and insomnia and my insomnia has been getting worse over the past few months. I can't remember the last time I slept through the night or fell asleep in less than three hours. Melatonin did nothing for me and Benadryl didn't do much either. I tried unisom last night. I fell asleep much faster than usual- probably took me about 30 minutes. But after 2 1/2 hrs I was awake again. I couldn't fall back to sleep. I tried looking up if I could take another 25mg (I had taken 50mg before I went to sleep) but I couldn't find anything about whether 75mgs total is too much? I'm frustrated because it put me to sleep so quickly, and I slept heavily, but it lasted so short a time that it barely made a difference."


"Excellent experience so far, was on for 2 1/2 months and lost ~30 lbs.  Really HELPS you control your food intake.  You can push through and eat though, but its much much much easier to control yourself when you know you should stop eating but have that bottomless pit feeling in your stomach, or if you are just someone that eats when bored or emotional."


"I've been on Aubra for 3 months now and have had several negative side effects. I'm experiencing acne, bleeding and cramping between periods, severe anxiety, headaches, moodiness, and weight gain. However, it has prevented pregnancy thus far."


"Shortly after using Voltaren Gel, which did work on my pain, I started getting sores inside my mouth.  After checking everything in my diet and realized the only difference was I started using Voltaren.  I stopped and they went away within 2 days.
I cannot say medically if it is a coincidence?  Maybe if someone else gets it they will see this message."


"I've had Mirena for about six months now. I had it inserted six weeks after I had my baby and it was not painful at all. The doctor explained I would have a light period the majority of the month for the first three months and then it would go to normal. I had my period three weeks out of the month very very light for approx four months. Yes it was annoying. The past two months it went back to normal. I eat clean and exercise daily I have lost about 20lbs. I do get bad cramping once in awhile in that region especially if I lay in certain positions for a long period of time. But that could just be post pregnancy.  I'm overall a happy calm person and my mood hasn't changed one bit since I started. Overall I recommend Mirena."


"Started 7/9/16, it's morning of 7/18. So far I have lost 11lbs. Just recently started week 2 and I'm feeling the sleepiness and nausea it's not horrific, concerned I might have to go to 1 pill again but for 11lbs in 9 days I'll try to stick it out. I'm not sure if it's all in my head but my cravings have pretty much gone and my portions are incredibly small and I'm really not hungry at all any more. I've also been more interested in walking which before hand if someone even mentioned they were going for a walk I would want to throw up- I've even started to add 5-10 push-ups after my daily walk. Super thirsty all the time but I haven't retained any of the water and I try to mix it up- put some lemons or cucumbers in the water for added boost"


"I've recently got my second implant inserted. I loved the first one. It hurt going in but to not worry about buying and taking birth control for 3 years was worth it to me. I was also one of the lucky ones who didn't have a period for two years. Then the final year I did start having a period once a month. It lasted about 4 days but I was pretty sick those 4 days. I'VE gained a little bit of weight and my acne has been pretty bad, but it was the same as other birth controls. Now this second one has given me extreme moodiness, hot sweats and cravings. Still no period so far but I feel like a bat outta hell lately. I didn't experience this with the first one. I just had it done a few weeks ago though. All this said, I like the implant for me"


"Allegra has done the trick for me for years. My only disappointment is the expense of the 12-hour dosage now that my insurance company doesn't cover it anymore. It's a better deal to purchase the 24-hour dose but I don't like taking a higher dose of medication if it isn't necessary."


"My son has severe acne from his Crohn's drugs and now he wants to take Accutane - I see it as a death sentence of sorts, but I can understand what he is going through at just 13 years old. Has anyone tried Accutane when they are already wrestling with Crohn's? His Crohn's is in remission and he is using Humira every two weeks now. We suspect Prednisone as the initial cause of his acne."


"I had four polyps removed two years ago. My physician prescribed Veramyst. I have really enjoyed using this medication once daily during the two years. No sign of the polyps returning. In addition, during the four years I haven't had a cold or a sinus problem. Prior I would be bothered with sinus problems during the winter season. I recommend this spray and will continue to use it myself."


"Worst drug I've ever tried and the reason I'm scared of new drugs.
It made me have tachycardia. My heart was speeding at over 200 bpm sitting still. Worse if I got up to walk around or anything like that. I couldn't sleep because it felt like I was running. I would stay in bed propped up (because laying down made it worse) and occasionally drift off when I got so exhausted I couldn't stay awake anymore. This sleep only lasted about an hour at a time before I woke up again. Docs increased the dose saying I just needed to get used to it. It made it worse. I made them take me off of it after "giving it a try" for three hellish weeks."


"Had a severe bladder infection..passing blood clots in my urine, pain, bladder spasms and urinating every 5minutes. I am allergic to sulphur drugs, penicillin, cipro & levaquin, so macrobid is really my only alternative. This is the second time I have taken it, the first time I remember no real side effects, this time I have experienced severe headache after the first 3 pills, then that subsided. Now, on my 12th pill out of 14, I have mild nausea and dizziness and drowsiness...nothing unbearable and definitely better than the pain of the bladder infection. Hopefully, I won't get another bladder infection, but that's wishful thinking, but I won't hesitate to use macrobid again."


"Feb. to Sept. I was on the mini pill just progesterone and during that time I got acne that never went away and I gained 25 pounds with bad mood swings. Prior to that I was on Yasmine for a year which caused my hair to thin out but my doctor was concerned it was giving me really bad headaches. I started Ortho Tri Cyclean Lo 32 days ago and everyday I've had a period which today it seems to be going away. I know it takes up to 90 days for my body to adjust so I'm willing to work through it. The acne has gone away completely, no headaches, no severe mood swings and my hair has stopped falling out. I don't have the food cravings so hopefully I can start to lose the weight. I have noticed my breasts have grown which is fine by me."


"Love it! Work's immediately."


"I've been in law enforcement for almost 24 years.  I've sustained two broken hips, dislocated SI joint, 8 concussions, and numerous stab and knife wounds.  I've been given Amitriptyline before, with no help for PTSD.  On June 16, 2015 I received my 8th concussion. My PTSD intensified as this injury is a severe one, and I was given klonapin for PTSD as the Amitriptyline did nothing.  Since then, I've been on both as I required surgery to remove two nerves in my neck as well as surgery to remove scar tissue from my spine.  At 50mg, the Amitriptyline has done nothing for PTSD, but works for the remining nerve pain pain, though no help in sleeping."


"I am on Ambien and feel great."


"I start phentermine today. Read almost all reviews and I'm excited to start taking it. Seems like it has everything I need. I will try it and come back in a month and let you all know how it has worked for me."


"Zoloft worked wonders for me. I feel like a new and improved person. My social anxiety is almost totally gone and I feel much happier, able to enjoy life to the fullest.

Luckily, I have limited side effects: only vivid dreams (which is the most bothersome side effect) and occasional upset stomach, but nothing too bad. Of course all antidepressants have very different effects on everyone but it worked for me. I don't mean to sound like a commercial but I have really noticed a change and I feel much less anxious and depressed."


"I have had several surgeries to rebuild my shoulder muscles and have had one tendon reattached to the bone and covered with a plate as well as arthritis in my spine. The pain is unbearable at times and sometime I can't even walk. I was taking the extended release  Oxycontin and norco for break-thru pain which didn't help much. They seemed to last a few hours and that was that. Even then I didn't do much because of pain. My doctor had me try the 75mcg patch for 72 hours and I was amazed. I can wake up in the morning and almost jump out of bed. We have changed to a patch every 48 hours as on the 3rd day it didn't seem to work. But now depending on what I do during the day I am virtually  pain free.Highly recommend, get ur life back"


"I fell out of a moving truck at 40MPH and have several back problems. This stuff is wonderful. Lets me live a normal life. Pick up my baby, help my wife around the house, and just be able to go day to day without constant pain and suffering. Now my doctor says I need to go to a pain specialist to get me off the drugs. Let me tell you some days I've tried not to take my pills, and it is so horrible. Why take away something that works just to keep trying other things that don't. I have tried just about everything. I get the feeling my doctor wants me to be in pain."


"Was on Viibryd 40mg and didn't see a positive change until 8 weeks into it. I got depressed/anxious after one month and they increased the dose to 60mg. I got depressed/anxious again after about another month. Just doesn't work. Never truly felt back to normal or that sense of well being.  WAY too expensive.  One positive thing is that it didn't make me feel sleepy compared to all the others (Lexapro, Celexa, Prozac)."


"Nexplanon was great for the first 5 months or so. Insertion wasn't a big deal at all, my arm bruised really badly but was all looks and no paid. No period, no bad side effects, clear skin, it was great! The first bad side effect was painful sex.  Then one day I started bleeding, and I never stopped! I bled for months before I actually went to the doctor (bad on my part for waiting so long). I started gaining weight and feeling very sluggish. My hair even started thinning and I'm only 18. Nexplanon made me really sick. Not worth it!"


"I have been on Gleevec for about 10 years now, with absolutely NO side effects, except for one!  After my hair grew back, it was curly all over my head.  Makes hair styles quite easy at my age of 71."


"I'm three days post operation for a hemorrhoidectomy and a fissure repair. The pain is horrible, but the Toradol is working well. It works much better than the narcotics prescribed (Tramadol)."


"Wonder stuff wIth little to no side effects IF taken at migraine onset! So important and I can not stress enough that it must be taken immediately! If it hasn't worked for you ask yourself if you waited too long before taking it. I carry it with me every where because i never know when I'll need it. Sometimes I'm stupid and think, "I'll just try and tough it out, I don't want to waste the good stuff.... " So dumb, last time I ended up with a three day migraine that I could have prevented. I wasted like 8 pills trying to manage it, whereas two at onset would have eradicated it altogether. Note: these still help to reduce the pain of an existing migraine better than anything else I've tried, but I'm am still cooped up in my room avoiding light, sounds and all stimuli that might make it worse."


"I went on this pill when I was 17. The first 6 months were dreadful. An emotional freak, always crying. After my body got used to it, I was totally fine. My boobs went from an A to a C, I did gain a little weight however I blame that on college. I am able to lose weight easily when I diet while on the pill. Never got pregnant, even with missing pills. Regular period, LIGHT period. I would recommend this pill, once your body gets used to it it will be fine."


"It is the only medicine that I can take to assist with the fighting of DVT for me. Don't care for sticking myself everyday, although it is keeping me alive. I have tried Coumadin and Praxada, but with both became severely ill, so the only choice was Lovenox. Am looking for the option of going back to a pill or some other treatment one day, instead of injections.  "


Bisacodyl / polyethylene glycol 3350 / potassium chloride / sodium bicarbonate / sodium chloride

"I had to use this for a colonoscopy. I was given a choice of 4 flavor packets, I chose the cherry. It didn't taste bad at all. I've spoken to people who said this started working within 30 minutes after beginning to take it. For me it took almost 2 hours. Since it took so long I was able to finish the entire container before I began having movements. Because of this I felt very bloated but that diminished once it started working. It's very thorough but there's no discomfort with it. It also didn't keep me up all night. It started working around 7 pm and stopped by bedtime so I was able to get a good nights sleep with no getting up during the night. However, from 7 to 10 I was going every 15-20 minutes. It was much better than I expected."


"I rate this medicine a 10 because of the fact that the craving did go away almost instantly. I am taking the low dose tablet.  I've only been on it for 2 days, I do have to say though it has made me tired, moody, and I've had a hard time concentrating, especially when driving."


"I am 76, a right handed tennis player with left knee pain around the knee cap and toward the inside of knee.  I finished a series of 3 shots a couple of months ago and can report no improvement, in fact the last few weeks pain is worse."


"Seriously the best for anxiety. I've been through countless SSRI's, buspar, Ativan, xanax, etc and gabapentin has worked better than all those combined for my anxiety and panic attacks."


"I've had Skyla for almost 5 months now. The procedure for getting it inserted was a bit painful. I got it inserted 7 weeks after having my third child so I didn't think it would be so bad. I felt a pinch that lasted about 10 seconds. It was quick but painful in my experience. I immediately started to spot after. I had heavy bleeding that lasted for about a month. I haven't had a period since, I have been spotting on and off though. Not sure if me breastfeeding has anything to do with it. I get a lot of nasty discharge. It must have something to do with Skyla because I had been fine before that. I check my strings constantly and at first they were very hard. My husband described them as Bobby pin type of feeling. Been having pains lately too"


"Great for unclogging your nose, horrible for anxiety. It made mine bad enough on several occasions that I ended up in the ER. It also gave me dangerously low blood pressure, heart palpitations, hallucinations and an overall terrified feeling. I wouldn't recommend this at all for anxiety."


"I've been on Brintellix for about 5 months now. At first I was on 5mg and I noticed 2 things right away: I was experiencing some severe nausea,  but I wasn't having the kinds of social thoughts the other antidepressants I have taken caused.
Doctor shortly thereafter increased my dose to 10MG. I felt happy and very, very focused. Time got away from me,  and the days blurred together. Unfortunately I experienced some negative side-effects. I noticed that I became agitated easily and even very, very angry at times.  There were times that I hated everything. Not to mention the complete loss of sex drive- very big problem at 26 years old. Back on 5mg now. Still no sex drive. Plus the meds are so expensive!"


"This saved my finger from amputation. Granulation was not happening till I used this. Ten days later all is well."


"I've been on 75 mg for two months now, started at a baby dose of 37.5 about 3 months ago. I can honestly say I woke up feeling the difference and the burst of energy. Only complaints are if you forget to take a dose you're not in for a good day until you take your next dose. I vomit and have a terrible headache, and also with the medication I found that I had a couple bad lows while getting used to it. But as long as you keep up with your dose and don't mess around with taking it you should be very satisfied with the result."


"Psoriasis is my shadow since I was born. The last few years it has gotten worse. I started Humira treatment last April. The results were fantastic. I'm flaring up again and Humira is not working anymore."


"not told of contraindications, effect with other meds, etc. need more consultation to ensure nothing is happening. Right now my lymph nodes are swollen and in reading about invokana this could be a possible side affect?"


"Needs to be taken with food. Worked well for about a year then It gave me random bouts of severe depression and fatigue. I think when I was taking this I had more homicidal thoughts. Thank GOD I don't suffer from these side effects anymore. I'll stick to my abilify."


"I would use clobex on my thick plaque psoriasis on my scalp. It literally cleared it up completely within 48 hrs to the point where I can go and get my hair cut. The best med I've used in my 30 years of trying everything"


"I had paraguard for four years and experienced very bad cramps during ovulation and my period, along with heavy bleeding.  I switched to Mirena after consulting with a new GYN.   The removal of paraguard was painless and took less than a second.  The original insertion of it was extremly painful.  I had it inserted when I was in my late 20s, no children.  I still have no children and found the insertion of the Mirena to be no worse than two bad cramps, each lasting only a second.  I took 800mg of Motrin about an hour prior to the precedure, which may have helped.  I had no cramping or spotting after the procedure and have still have no cramping or spotting."


"Shortness of breath, extreme joint pain, swollen feet and lower legs, blurred vision, tired, no energy.  I was not told of side affects.  I am not Me anymore.  So sad."


"This is the only medicine I've ever found to actually work on my tension headaches. I have used it about 2 - 3 times a year for a few to several days in a row to knock out my headaches. This is my 'last resort' medication and for great reason - it works. As someone else posted, if this doesn't work, nothing is going to work. I'm so thankful for this medication."


"I have had panhypopituitarism for 16 years.  I started with patches, then chorionic gonadotropin, then patches again because the Hcg gave me a bad headache.  Then I tried shots, also a bad headache.  Then my insurance stopped covering the patches, and my doctor switched me to testosterone cream compounded locally.  It works better than the patches, but at 75 mg, I lost a huge amount of hair in 2 months.  Then I reduced it to 50 mg. and now 40 mg.  The hair has stopped falling out, and I think some is growing back.  I am 61 years old and having the testosterone level of a young man is not worth going bald for!  Frankly, I doubt if anyone really needs more than 50 mg.  Just be aware and do not blindly follow your doctor's advice like I did."


"My score is based on how well it's treating the infection itself - burning, back pain and urgency are gone 48 hours after starting this drug - first time user with a clearly defined bad infection based on urinalysis at the hospital

-- don't need Azo any more, still downing cranberry and water, and tip: eat something even if your appetite is gone.

Bad news, I'm exhausted, nauseous, dizzy and drained.

I can live through the side effects, not so sure about the infection - very effective, strong, targeted, bacteria-killer and I will complete the entire protocol as directed - the temptation will be to stop taking it, I will resist the temptation. I will, however, bow to the temptation to sleep all day.

takeaway - it's a trade-off."


"I've been on lithium for a month and a half and the only side effects I have is headaches. It is easily managed when keeping up on my water intake. This medicine has been a great for my bipolar 2 disorder. I haven't felt this calm in a very long time. My anxiety is at an all time low as well. My moods aren't all over the place either. I'm so thankful I gave this medicine a chance. It has changed my life in the best way."


"This was the WORST drug I have been on since I was diagnosed in 1998. I was on the injection for about six months, gained a lot of weight (50 pounds) and had a horrible gallstones flare up in which I was diagnosed with the condition (after fainting in public). I was put back on abilify and prefer the oral pill every day to the injection! One nurse didn't inject me correctly and I developed sciatica for longer than I was on the medication!!"


"Nexoplanon is killing my relationship.

I got it inserted in September, had non-stop old blood coming out from down below from October to January. Went away until May, and since them, I've had to wear a R sized tampon every day, and we are in July now.

It doesn't get you pregnant, but it makes me angry, sad, irritable, and I believe, extremely tired; plus, I got it so I could sleep with my boyfriend without worries, figures, now I can't even do it because of the gross bleeding."


"I am a long term survivor with no HIV related complications, ever. I have never had an adverse reaction to an HIV medication as well. I took the blood test to make sure I was not allergic to the medication. I did my homework on this drug as well, and many people really like it. I was basically bedridden for 19 days, and got off the medication. 2 days later, I ended up in the ER with pancreas complications. "Making your life easier with 1 pill a day" is not necessarily the way to go. In my opinion, they marketed this drug too quickly."


"1st prep was at 4:00 pm.  It was not as bad as the reviews that I have read on the internet.  I mixed the solution with ice cold water, put a lemon under my nose, held my nose throughout the entire drink + 5mins, use a STRAW placed all the way to the back of your throat!  Put on some good motivational music "blarring" through the house :) and had at it.  Within 10 minutes I had already drank the solution and downed the 1st 16oz chaser.  In between drinking the prep I would stop and suck on a lemon or a small sip of water.  Drink the prep as fast as possible but don't make yourself sick.  It took only 15 minutes for the solution to work.  Make your bathroom your mini office...(laptop, baby wipes, water chasers with you!, etc..)"


"I started taking Movantik four months ago.  At first it was like a miracle.  I had a bowel movement soon after taking it in the am.  As time went on my bowel movements became days apart and I needed to supplement with senna and ducolax.  I try to eat as much fiber as possible.  I'm going to try milk of magnesia.  I must say that my stools are very seldom hard and I'm very happy because hard stools caused so much pain that lasted several days.  I did have gas and stomach cramps but rarely anything really unpleasant."


"I started three weeks ago and down 13 pounds. 254 and now 241. Side effects ... Dry mouth, insomnia and heart racing not all the time. I will weigh myself again at the end of March."


"I think it makes me sad. This was my 3rd dose and I'm almost suicidal."


"Good"


"I started taking Taytulla 2 weeks ago to help prevent more ovarian cysts from popping up. There is not one thing I've liked about this pill. I get TERRIBLE headaches and nausea almost constantly, I've broken out in acne all over my face, I have been suffering with terrible depression/anxiety/lack of interest in anything, and fatigue. I forgot to take it one night and the next morning I woke up with super heavy bleeding. I know the body will react when starting any new medicine, but this is miserable. Would not recommend, ladies!"


"While I havent been on it long I can say I have been WORLDS different. I originally was on sprintec for a good 10 years. Got new job where I just got my rxs filled there (ins requirement) was given estraylla as a substitute can we say all hell broke loose on it. Moody(which Im not at all), gained 15lbs, always bloated, foods I should want and love made me sick,no sex drive, horrible periods, lethargic etc etc. Well then the pharmacy got mononessa in, no joke within a week the bloating subsided, I dropped 5lbs, mood was way better, drive is back. Honestly feel better on it then even sprintec.Watch your inactive ingredients, thoes are what cause the side effects more than the hormones."


"Doctors will always try to put you on synthroid which is poison that has the worst side effects and once I started on Armor I could see the dark cloud leave. I still notice that I can only use a half of batch before I need to buy more because it went bad and I am still trying to get the perfect dose but I feel so much better with armor than the synthroid that doctors suggest. I only wish I could buy armor in Colombia SA because now I must go to the states every month to pick it up."


"I've been on Loestrin 24 Fe for a little more than a year and it has been a wonderful experience for me. I have fibroids and my cycles would be very heavy and would last at least 7-10 days. Now my cycle lasts 4 days and I'm a little heavy the first two days. This pill has changed my cycle for the better and I would recommend it to anyone experiencing a very heavy and lengthy cycle."


"I started Fetzima at the request of my doctor as my mood was very dull and I was using Alcohol to help with anxiety. After 8 weeks at 40 mg I could not handle the excessive sweating that was so bad I was showering sometimes 4 times a day and washing my sheets almost daily. The worst part was the excessive pain after intercourse that would almost bring tears to my eyes from the pain. I have since been moved to another SSRI. "


"Hi everyone! I'm a sixteen year old girl who has been struggling with acne since the beginning of high school. My self confidence definitely crashed and I always seemed to have to cake foundation on my face before going anywhere, and I just wanted my acne to be GONE. So it has been exactly 2 1/2 months since my physician prescribed me to tretinoin Retin-a 0.05%, and the first thing I did was look up reviews about it. I was terrified of the possible "purge" so I waited until a week long break from school to start using it, and to my surprise, no special purge on my skin! My forehead and chin have always been okay; cheeks and nose have been the biggest problem, but generally my skin is smoother and less red! STICK WITH IT!!!"


"Be smart about getting off of this medicine. Follow doctors instructions, it is very important."


"I've been on Seasonique for a year now and absolutely love it. The only things that I've experienced are a little bit of cramping around the time I would normally have a period, but nothing too bad. I have gotten a little more emotional since being on the pill and have had a small acne issue around my jawline, which I had never had before, but nothing that bad. My sex drive did go down a bit in the first couple of months, but then I was back to normal. I highly recommend Seasonique to anyone who's considering it for birth control. I mean, you can't beat only four periods a year. "


"I got the skyla one week ago. Insertion was uncomfortable but I think my nerves got the best of me and made it worst. Like many other people, I read all the horror stories of insertion being incredibly painful. I was shaking the entire time because I was so nervous and it was just a lot of pressure that was over really quicklg. Post insertion I have cramps no worse than period cramps and very light spotting which I expect to be over soon.

Don't let all the horror stories scare you. Everyone is different. The IUD is worth it, you are 20 less likely to have an unplanned pregnancy with it than you are with regular  birth control pills. Insertion is not fun but being pregnant is even less fun."


"I have been on a lot of pills and this one has to be the worst. I never had acne before and as soon as I started this pill my face has been broken out. I have gained weight. I am depressed all month and have horrible PMS. But I haven't gotten pregnant and my period seems to be the same."


"I have had chronic back and neck pain for several years and have tried almost all pain medicines, my last was Percocet 10mg 6 times a day along with Flexaril 20mg 4 times a day. Now I take 2 Embeda 20mg a day and feel great. So far I have not had any side effects."


"I just started Contrave 5 days ago.  The positives are that I've noticed my appetite is suppressed and I'm eating smaller portions. Also sleeping great, but I am only on the 1x a day dose in the morning.  The negative side is the nausea and stomach ache later in the day. I wouldn't consider them enough to stop at this point and I plan to continue on with it at this point. Hoping these negative side effects will subside as my body gets used to it."


"Long term use of opiates for chronic back pain had given me constipation so severe, it caused a rectal prolapse. I recently had a subtotal colectomy, yet the cramping, gas and constipation continued. My pain management N.P. recently gave me samples of the 25 mg. tabs. I am thrilled to report that after 3 days of being on this drug, my constipation has responded very favorably, with no obvious side effects so far. I was previously using Relistore inj., which only worked sporadically at best, and with excessive cramping. I also take Linzess which along with a recent subtotal colectomy has improved my colonic inertia caused by the years of narcotic use. This new drug is truly a Godsend for me!!"


"Absolutely miracle med for smoking cessation!  I smoked for 15 yrs (anywhere from 2-4 packs/day).  Had the attitude, "if I quit, I quit; if I don't, I don't".  Within 10 days I stopped.  I did experience a few side-effects that were no big deal (insomnia, funny taste in mouth). I didn't have a "stop-date" just one day I lit a cigarette, took about three drags then put it out.  That was 14 yrs ago.  Took me about 5 yrs to say I quit - I always said, "I haven't had a cigarette in a while".  I still have my 1/2 carton as my trophy ;-)"


"I took plan b within 24 hours & im now 8 weeks pregnant with the dates matching up perfectly to the specific night. I hope people don't 100% rely on this to work because I am walking proof that it doesn't always!"


"Very effective. No heartburn or difficulty swallowing, or other symptoms during therapy."


"I have been on medication for over 23 years and Saphris is a far better antipsychotic I have ever been prescribed. I feel more motivated, more social, my weight hasn't changed and am now enjoying life unlike the many years I spent on Largactil and other antipsychotics. I have also felt benefits in my sleeping pattern. Use this medicine right and you wont believe the change. I have Borderline Personality Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder but also use an antidepressant too."


"I was on Lyrica and had extreme cankles (swollen ankles) and 20 pound weight gain!  I am on Horizant now and lost the weight and lost the shingles pain too.  So thankful that my Dr switched me and that my ServU Pharmacy saved me money."


"Rubbish.  I had put in 4 months ago constant period haven't stopped bleeding, feel like faint due to low iron. My hair is falling out bad been told its a side effect depo having this taking out, ruining my confidence and my relationship."


"I had a horrible experience with Excedrin Migraine. Shortly after taking it, my heart started racing super fast, I got extremely anxious, and my body started shaking. Like other people are saying, if you are sensitive to caffeine do not take this medicine. It didn't take my migraine away either so it's not worth it at all."


"I've been on Quasense for about a year and a half and I love it! I had breakthrough bleeding during my first pack (the first 3 months) but have not had bleeding since. My body just needed to get used to the change in hormones and not having my period every month. I did gain a little weight but that could be unrelated. Big Fan!"


"Extremely drowsy, no difference in pain"


"Female (23) I was diegnosed with UC in 2008 at age 15. Got horrible abdominal pain, I'd roll up in a ball n just cry, frequent bathroom trips, blood clots and dropped down to 100 pounds. I tried several medications none of them worked except prednizone.  I agree side affects are horribly I've had different reactions all 3 times I been put on them feeling wired not sleeping till 6am looking like a chip munk, broke out in itchy bumps on my chest jaw line and back, joint pains BUT as others said it did stop my inflammation  immediately. After that I was put on azithiroprine and has been the only medication that has controlled my UC thank goodness . Don't let UC control you. You control UC! Always be srtong and very open minded about your disease "


"I'm 25 single mother to 8 year old twins an IUD was my choice of birth control I've had paragard over 5 years already and I can say it's perfect haven't gotten pregnant, period lasts about 3 days, no mood swings, no pain, no heavy period. I love it and I'm happy I chose paragard I had used other birth control methods & hated them if you're not planning to have kids soon this is the best method to avoid having any lol"


"I have been taking Savella for 8 weeks now. I was recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia after battling with the symptoms for 4 years. At first, Savella was terrible. I took the titration pack which gradually ups the dose until you get to 50mg twice a day. I wanted to stop after the second day. I was feeling angry, having headaches, nausea, and some vomiting... you name the symptom and I had it. For whatever reason, I pushed through and it gradually become better. I noticed after a week I was waking up with more ease than I had in 4 years and I didn't have the overwhelming fatigue I usually did. The only side effect that I still have is hot flash/sweating. Sometimes it seems unbearable but compared to the fatigue/pain I think I can handle it."


"So, my Dr prescribed this Norethindrone 0.35 mg tablets. I've only been on them 17 days, and I've gained 15lbs. I am constantly bloated and always have severe cramping since I started. I spoke to my Dr last week and she swears there are no side effects. But all of a sudden I got a uti,yeast infection,always hungry. I decided to stop this pill as of now. *After reading all these horrible reviews I'm done with these pills!*"


"I've had psoriasis for 15 years and I used the taclonex ointment for a couple of years before going on biologics. Last month I had a flare up while on Stelara and my derm told me taclonex had been reformulated into a suspension and he wanted me to try it and gave me a coupon for $0 copay. Yay! I take the RX to be filled and find out that my insurance will not cover it and the coupon pays up to $300 my portion was $1433. The ointment worked well for me, so I just knew the reformulated version would work wonders. I used the suspension 2x/day for a month. This medication was extremely greasy, ruined my sheets and my clothes and actually made my psoriasis worse. I would NOT recommend this product. Try clobetasol instead."


"This is a lifesaver. I don't use it every day and I only take 1 pill. Max is 2. It relieved it rather quickly! Took it before bed, felt better, and was able to sleep after a whole day of gas and bloating. I should have taken this sooner!"


"I had struggled with moderate acne for 4 years. I tried every lotion and potion possible on prescription and every medicated facial wash available for acne prone skin. Nothing worked. Finally after a year of waiting for an appointment my dermatologist prescribed 30mg of isotretinoin (roaccutane).  It has taken about 3 months to start to see an improvement and now almost 6 months in my skin is completely clear. It has really helped my self confidence. The good thing is my clear skin will be permanently clear and the dreaded acne will not return. Other than severely dry lips and quite a few nose bleeds (although not as many as I thought) my side effects have been minimal. Stick with it, it definitely works, you just have to be patient."


"I delivered packages for 32 years. 6 years ago I had such horrible neck pain and the dr did an xray and said bone spurs and take up to 16 ibuprofen a day and stretch.  I had physical therapy, accupuncture, chiro, massage, traction and headaches, ear, neck and pain behind the eyes.  I retired early because of this, then three weeks ago, slurred speech, dizziness, headache and finally went to a neurologist, he put me on gabapentin, and after 3 days, little pain, I am now on three times a day and ZERO pain pills.....zero for the first time in 6 years!!!  The only side effect is a little sleepy but my energy level is way up and I can sleep wonderfully  now.  God bless the Neurologist and gabapentin.  My life has changed for the best."


"These drops helped me so much. I was in severe pain for 8 days before I finally found a doctor who would prescribe them to me. I went to the ER 5 days in a row before I got any relief."


"I applied Taclonex for over a year. It sooths and moisturizes the skin but consistent improvement did not happen. My Psoriasis seemed to flare up and then subside without any direct impact from this product. It is expensive!"


"They'll have to pry my Effexor out of my cold dead hands! It helps so much with my fibromyalgia pain as well as my anxiety."


"I got Neplanon in August 2015. It is the first birth control I have ever had. After having it for a week I experienced spotting for about a month. I have absolutely no sex drive which sucks. I have the worst mood swings. I am grumpy all the time. I've gained maybe 5-10lbs. My breasts are extremely tender all the time and have gotten bigger unfortunately (I prefer small boobs). I am considering getting it taken out. I'd recommend this only because it does prevent pregnancy but the side effects are terrible."


"Worked well  but has the most disgusting taste imaginable. The artificial sweetener taste made it twice as disgusting."


"Cool concept, stays in for three years, don't have to worry about a thing. Except that for the first 6 months I had a period every other week. Oh, and I break-out all over my face, chest, and back like a teenager going through puberty. For me, not worth it but I'm not pregnant."


"I got this as a recommendation from my OB/GYN after getting a culture tested and I was told I had a YI.

Directly after inserting my very first tube, my vagina is on FIRE. I showered as I thought the warm water might ease the pain, NOPE. I was literally shaking for an hour and a half because I was in such bad pain.

"


"They gave me Zolfren in the ER when I was very nauseous and it wouldn't cease.  It took two, but then I felt human again.  Since then since I have IBS and get nausea occasionally still, I use it and it stops it cold.  If I am highly nauseous it takes longer to work, and I have to take two Zolfren.  I was told they give this to babies and chemo patients and that aren't any side effects.  I salute this medication; for me it is a life saver."


"The pharmaceutical group that developed this treatment is trying to recoup their cost in 1 year, they are a greedy group as they all are and should be called out. Disgusting."


"In my 25 years of being put on various medications, this is--by far--the best.  I suffered from anxiety and PTSD, which (of course) would lead to depression.  I'd contend with crying spells and outbursts of anger.  The first few days of taking 75 mg/day, I did have some side effects (such as racing thoughts, sleeplessness, etc.), but my body adjusted quickly.  I now wake up every day feeling more hopeful, and with ZERO crying spells.  I am still ME, and never feel like a zombie.  I am still aware of my surroundings and what annoys me, yes, but my RECOVERY from processing those things is much faster, and I bounce right back.  In other words, my perspective of things is normalized, and my days aren't ruined.  Wonderful stuff!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Was reading the other comments.  Maybe our taste buds vary greatly. MoviPrep tastes like Lemon Sorbet - intense lemon flavor, heavily sweetened - to mask the taste of whatever Moviprep taste like..  But I didn't find the taste objectionable. Just like a very intense sorbet. It worked quickly - came out in 4 sittings over a half hour.  I used it for all 3 of my colonoscopy and plan on using it for my 4th and final."


"It is good for UTI but it's not good for the body at all!! the second day I started having muscle problems, sleeping problems, anxiety..."


"Would not recommend. It might work for some women, but I personally bled heavily for two weeks straight every two weeks and the doctors told me I wasn't giving it enough time but it's been a year. Which is 1/3 of the time it can even be in there. If you haven't had children yet I wouldn't recommend it."


"As a colon cancer patient, I have had colonoscopies every 6 months for years.  As an old pro, I must say that I have NEVER experienced anything remotely as totally ineffective as this supposed preparation.  As a result, I must reschedule for after the first of the year and pay my full medical deductible immediately, rather than no cost because deductible is already met for this year.  My husband will be docked pay for taking off to drive me.  I will have to take another week off blood thinner.  And I feel nauseated, bloated, and angry.  Shame on prepopik for taking good folks' money with false claims!"


"I used to have migraines for so many years, no treatments work until I have BOTOX injections. Now just use over the counter medications."


"I got the Implanon in early January 2012 and I haven't had a period at all since. I've noticed changes in my mood like, hypersensitivity, mild depression, and mood swings. Another important thing I've noticed is my hair gets very oily very fast after a shower. Within 3 hours after I have fixed my hair all nice, it become very oily and I find that to be a big issue for me (I cannot stand oily hair). The plus side to it, it made my skin so beautiful, I didn't have acne for the first 5 months, but I'm starting to see acne starting to pop up more often and weight gain. "


"I have had migraines for nearly 7 years (I'm 23) day in day out to some degree. I first started treatment on pain relief, which did very little for my migraines. Got eventually referred to a Neurologist, who couldn't work out why I was getting headaches and put me on various medications such as Mirtazepine, Topiramate, Sodium Valproate, Venlafaxine and various other antiepileptics and antidepressants, all to no effect.

Amitriptyline was prescribed to help my sleeping at 10mg a night, but alleviated my migraines slightly. Dose was increased to 50mg gradually and my headaches subsided massively. Amitriptyline only prevents migraines for me, it doesn't treat them. Quality stuff, God send!"


"This is helping a lot, after 6years of pills and heroin used, I can finally work every day again buy groceries and started paying down my 6year old credit card debt, I was also an acholholic before I found opioids 6years ago, now I found

Doc to put me on suboxone 8_2s, life so far much better without the daily chase and almost weekly nasty withdrawals, that almost ended my marriage and good job. I almost lost my house from the cost of my street bought

opioid dependence, in fact if it weren't  for my younger brother and his $12,000.00 I would  have.This RX my not be for everyone but so far so good. My GOD bless the weak, sick and hurt. :-)"


"So far it's doing me pretty well. The first day I started this birth control I did expedience nausea, but I haven't had it sense. It's cleaning my acne wich is awesome!!"


"I  had a very bad cold to the point of settling in my chest. I took Delsym 12 hour to help. I couldn't believe it really worked to keep my cough at bay, but I started to have severe side effects from it. I had dizziness like I was going to blackout, heart palpitations, SOB (shortness of breath), diarrhea and vomiting at the same time (sitting on toilet and holding a bucket at the same time wanting to pass out from the dehydration). Never again, I'll stick with Creomulsion."


"3rd week, and I'm only on 15 mg. I am very sensitive to medication. For instance, Zoloft completely zonked me and all I did was sleep. I started taking Viibryd at night, but didn't sleep for 3 nights. I switched to mornings and have had no trouble sleeping at night. I take it with a meal and have not had nausea, etc. I did have a terrible headache last night and believe the pain in my calves may be a side effect. My muscles in my calves feel like I've run a marathon...very sore and tight. Also, I've been unable to "stop thinking" and relax. Overall I think Viibryd is working much better than Zoloft did for me (my sexual side effects are much less than with Zoloft), however I plan to call my doctor about the leg pain and racing thoughts."


"I had Implanon inserted in March of 2008 after my friend had it inserted and said it was fine.  The only problem I have had was irregular periods there were very irregular.  Sometimes they were short and I called it spotting, but then I would spot for about 1-2 weeks.  But then it would go away for a month and come back.  I think alot of it was stress.  Since July of this year I sort of started new with my life.  I have had two periods since July (it is November), and they were both short and more of a heavy spotting.  But its been alot better.  Overall I am happy with it, and in 2011 I will get a new one inserted, unless they come out with something better!"


"After having two children, I opted to have the Mirena inserted at my 6week PP visit, instead of using the pill. The insertion wasn't painful for me personally, however, I had it put in mid-end April, and it is now 4.5 months later and I have had bleeding/spotting everyday since that time. I have yet to have an actual period, but have spotted / bled enough every day since the insertion, with more painful cramps (daily) that I had previously on a regular. cycle. Also, I never experienced migraines in the past, and since the mirena I get them frequently (at least one biweekly) that brings nausea and effects my vision. I waited 5 months to give my body time to adjust, but at this point yes it's doing its job but the sideeffects are not worth it"


"I have severe menstrual pain, so bad to where I throw up,and I am in bed for the whole day. So I decided to get on the pill. My doctor prescribed me orsythia and it changed my mood severely. I was very mean and grumpy all the time, it felt like was on edge all the time. Which is not like me at all, I am a very easy going, go with the flow, never really get mad type of person. It did not help my cramps as much as I thought it was going to. It also made me have really bad head aches and  acne. It has been almost a week since I've stopped taking it and my mood and acne has cleared up. The only thing now that I've noticed is that my knees and  ankles ache, after coming off of the medication. But I'm sure that will clear up soon."


"After years of suffering from ever-worsening anxieties, I finally told my Dr & she prescribed 20mg of Citalopram. I noticed w/in the first 20 mins or so of taking it I got super drowsy & dizzy. I have vertigo, & it kind of felt like that, but with the added drowsiness. This lasted for about a week & then stopped. The drowsiness only came back after I drank alcohol, but even that side effect has since stopped. My family remarked how happy & like myself again I was after about 2 weeks & that's when I realized it was helping. I did notice that I couldn't seem to shut up, I had an increase in energy, loss of appetite, excess sweating/sensitivity to heat, lost 25 lbs, had mood swings & extra trouble sleeping. I still feel way better now, though!"


"I am on Chantix since last Monday, February 3rd 2013. Tomorrow is my 8 day-quitting day, so lets see. I am still smoking, but as half as I did before. Usually I smoked around 10-15 cigarettes/day, and now I can see that I cut this amount into half at least. My worst enemy is MORNING COFFEE and I realized that I am smoking a few especially during that time. I am going to try to cut off coffee especially in the morning time. About side effects I worried a lot before when I started with medications,  but so far NONE. I follow instructions and some other review helped a lot, always drink a pill during or right after the meal with a full glass of water. The only "side effect" is DREAMS, but nothing to be afraid of its just a dreams!"


"Possible side effect: Lower backache, muscular fatigue."


"It works for me. Years of PMT now I feel normal."


"I get stress migraines I take a Treximet and with in an hour or 2 my headache is gone. When I first started taking it I would feel the "elephant on my chest" feeling similar to the Imitrex. But after the first few times I don't get that feeling anymore. What I really like about it is, if I take one at bedtime not only does it cure my migraine but I sleep so good and I wake up feeling so relaxed. All my muscles in my neck, shoulders and back that were tight and stressed are released from the tension."


"I took one Dulcolax on Sunday and then one on Monday for constipation. I was awakened last night at 1a.m. with horrific stomach pain, cramping , nausea, and diarrhea that was like explosive water. All day yesterday, I was going to the bathroon, each time with a little bit of diarrhea. I must have been in the bathroom 25 times. But the pain and nausea I felt last night for hours almost sent me to the ER. I kept wishing I could go ahead and vomit so that I'd feel better, but I never could. But the nausea and the pain nearly drove me over the edge. I was in the fetal position for hours (when I wasn't running to the bathroon). I never, ever expected to feel this horrible. Never again. I still have sharp pains and watery diarrhea today."


"So I was originally on Junel fe but that was a horror show with all the mood swings, bleeding, acne and just horrible nausea. I lost 11 pounds on that so beware. Anyway, once I told my doctor, she prescribed this. The first pack caused some nausea, a small break out and just an odd feeling. once I got that under my belt, I've had no problems! I'm on my fourth pack starting today and it's been great. Clear face, light periods, and doesn't make me gain weight. How ever, I must say around the placebo week, I get so bloated, horrible cramps and headaches...otherwise, it's been great. So the effectiveness of it, I haven't gotten pregnant yet, knock on wood. Just keep taking the pill at the correct time and you'll be fine!"


"So, I've been on depo for two years now. And I'll say, it has been the worst! I've gained 12 lbs. I have constant headaches and backaches. I'm very moody. I spot one month after getting the shot up until I get the next shot, then it repeats. I have bad cramps, and lots of hot flashes. I'm getting off the shot next month because this just isn't the BC for me."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for the past 5 days and have noticed a significant change in my personality. My children told me that I am way cooler on my medication. I have not felt like this EVER. Cymbalta is better than Prozac, Paxil, and Depakote, for sure. Prozac made me more anxious and depressed, Paxil made me angry, and Depakote made me lethargic. I must say that I don't particularly like the side effects of Cymbalta, but this medication makes me feel like a human being, instead of an irritable, depressed, worried mess."


"I have Bi-Polar II. Have suffered from depression, hypo-mania, and anxiety. One thing constant was difficulty sleeping. Sometimes night after night. I would just lay there and my mind would race. I have been taking Trazadone for a little over a year. 50mg-100 if needed. I've taken as much as 100, but often 50 then another 25 if needed. It's the best sleep I have ever had. I sleep through the night. If I have to get up for the bathroom, I fall right back to sleep. If I take higher doses I do get some grogginess, occasional blurry vision, and joint ache. But getting good sleep is worth it and helps with my other bi-polar symptoms. These days I've only been taking 50 but it  still works and side effects are fewer."


"I took this and it's the best thing I have ever tried. The first couple of days I went by the directions then I doubled the dose. And I lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks.  It did make me feel very jittery and my heart rate was going 90 to nothing but I was determined to lose weight.! And a little information DO NOT I repeat ( DO NOT ) take Fastin before you get in a tanning bed. Tan first then take it. It made me very very strange in a bad way.  I'm no doctor but when I increased my dose I had the shaking and the increased heart rate. But It never harmed me."


"I have been taking Phentermine for 6 months. I was 250lbs 5'10" male. One day got tired with shortness of breath just taking a shower, that opened my eyes that I needed help. Now I'm 190lbs just taking this miracle medicine and just walk the dog type of exercise. Breakfast - Cheerios/2% lowfat milk and bagels with cream cheese. Lunch - chicken salad or shrimp salad with low fat dressing. Dinner - before 6pm - KFC grilled chicken 2pc. mash potatoes or rice. SNACK - 8pm any real fruit. AVOID ALL SODA EVEN DIET SODA, FRUIT DRINKS, ICE CREAM ANYTHING SWEET. "WATER ONLY!" It will be tough at first but stick to this for 1 month and you have survived. You WILL lose 10-15lbs. CHECK AND RECORD WEIGHT DAILY SAME TIME BEFORE BREAKFAST. GOOD LUCK."


"I have been on Ritalin for 5 months now and it works great for my ADHD. I wish I would have been on it when I was in high school maybe I would have finished high school. I am 25 yrs old and I'm going for my G.E.D so I can go to College. I am so happy now I can concentrate and do things that I was never able to do. The only con is that it is not lasting as long as it did when I first got on it. I really believe Ritalin saved my life."


"I was taking Orsythia for a few years then went off birth control for 3 months; when I re-started taking it about a month ago I was prescribed Aviane (which from my understanding is the exact same med as Orsythia). I think it is just my body adjusting to the change of hormones but my hair has been thinning out; I've been shedding a lot extra. I assume it will stop in a couple months once my body adjusts, but was just wondering if anyone had any knowledge if this was normal. So far that is the only bothersome side effect I've ever noticed. I definitely have noticed that when on birth control I do not get acne, but when I am on it I usually have pimples."


"I took the pill after the condom broke three months ago. I was not, nor had ever been on any form of birth control. I experienced some cramping and minor dizziness for the next 2-3 days. Then, I got my period on the 21st day of my cycle (a week early). The next month my period was two weeks late, but finally came on the 42nd day. The prolonged start date was probably a mix of side effects from the pill and stress about the possibility of pregnancy. During the few abnormal cycles, I did not take any other form of medication. Overall, I did not get pregnant, so the pill served its purpose."


"While using this med. I opened the top turned it sprayed while inhaling and it would not stop spraying almost choking me and taking my breath away I dropped it on the table and it continued spraying for about a minute. I called the company and after being transferred and 15 mins. later they were of no help whatsoever. I told the last girl I spoke their product sucks, it is obvious these people don't care what happens to anyone using their product. I will also be contacting FDA."


"Periods now occur on-time, every month (sometimes I don't have one, but generally I do), whereas before I never knew when it was coming and went as long as six months without one only to have the bathroom looking like a horror film for weeks on end when it finally came.

My facial hair hasn't gone away, although I have noticed the stuff that grows back isn't as bristly."


"I've been taking variants of this medication for the last 17 years, moving to the XL version when it became available to me as it causes less issues with being able to get to sleep.  It is absolutely essential to my quality of life, with the XL version giving me less exposure to the side effects of a missed day of medications as well.  It took about 3 months for the "built up" effect to really work, where it had residual effect for a couple days.

My point is, that if you haven't taken this medication for some reason, and you have depression, talk to your doctor about it.  It has made all the difference in my life from the time I was 13 to 30."


"I'm taking both medications for pain after my back surgery.  It works but pain comes back about an hour before I'm scheduled to take another dose."


"Highly effective for maxillary sinusitis. Works quickly. Works very well."


"Have been a very angry man for a long time, and was fed up with being mad and guilty about my anger. Bit the bullet and went to the doctor all my blood work was green. So we tried Viibryd I'm on week 4 and no adverse reactions beyond mild dry mouth, and a tighness in my jaw muscles. I think this is what normal people feel like, I feel happy, less guilt, WAY less anger. BUT blue cross says they might not pay for it, however if I continue to feel this way, or better I will pay for it gladly. I recommend it."


"Yesterday I  took my first dose as an infection preventative so that my toe nail that was butchered off by a nail shop would not get infected. Two hours later my tongue was painful and felt heavy and swollen, my throat tightened and a sore of some sort popped up inside the inner cheek of my mouth. It was hard and painful like an abscess. My eyes turned blood shot red. I have been looking like a GD zombie for almost 24hrs. 12 hours later after taking the medication yesterday my tongue is no longer sore, but today the sore in mouth is still present. The sore no longer hurts though. I'm itching like crazy, and I'm having flu like symptoms."


"I've been on this medication along side amoxicillin and the taste in my mouth just won't go away! Pain has gone and ulcers surrounding my abscess have also gone! Just the disgusting taste, metallic, gross to be honest! And feeling sick ALL the time!
Anyone else suffer with this!?"


"I am 60 years old and have been using Climara 50 patches since 2008 (9 years).  It has definitely relieved the night sweats and the constant anxiety feeling.  I have tried a couple of times to go on a half dose but the symptoms resume, but I will try again. I have never had problems with the patch itself.  The edge can be a little sticky when I put it on, but I always wipe a smear of talcum powder around it to prevent it sticking to my clothes.  I now have a serious hearing problem (not resolved) so of course I'm concerned that it may be connected with this medication, but six years ago I had a massive amount of antibiotics for a staph infection following surgery, so of course this could be the cause."


"I have occasional stomach upset but its nice not to hurt. I take it three times a day and at night. I take it with Flexeril."


"I'm a 48 year old male my T-level was 188. I started on Axiron with one pump for two weeks. Then went to two pumps for three months. I had my T-level checked and now I'm at 398. I feel a lot better now. No more muscle fatigue and my libido is up. I have noticed some hair growing back in my bald spot. I will stay on Axiron for three more months and have my T-level checked again."


"Has worked well but it will make you feel loopy for a 1/2 hour or so."


"I just wanted to say that this med so far has saved my life!! What a blessing. I have tried just about everything for migraine prevention, migraine onset, I have made trip after trip to the ER because I am vomiting so much from my migraines and they are unresponsive to all treatment. I see a neuro for the migraines, an oral surgeon for my TMJ, and my pcp. I have tried and failed topamax, trokendi, amitriptyline, nortriptyline, immitrex, fioracet, and more. It wasn't until my pcp prescribed propanolol that I finally got some relief from everyday headaches and chronic 3x a week migraines at least. Instantly after my first two doses of this medication (he started me at 10mg only) I felt extremely better. Helps my anxiety too! A+++"


"Abilify works wonders for my OCD, Bipolar disorder, and anxiety disorders, but what's not listed is how much it helps with my eating disorder, which is Purge-Type Anorexia Nervosa, and body dysmorphia. With such low side effects, and such a wide range of disorders treatable with this medication, I consider Abilify a miracle pill for people with mental health problems of many kinds. Several of my friends, including my boyfriend, are also currently prescribed Abilify for a wide range of disorders and we all love it."


"I have IBS along side Colitis and also have had regular pure Chronic Nausea since I was a young teen and I'm 34 now and still have the problems. I pretty much have all the basic nausea meds so when one isn't working I have others I can fall back on. But the 2 that are the most potent are Zofran and Compazine. And out of those 2 the most potent for me is still the generic Compazine, even after all these years of taking it. The only downside is its a fairly old antipsychotic which means it comes with some fairly rough side effects sometimes. There have been a couple times I've gotten the side effect of Dystonic effects with are horrible to go through. So now when I take my Compazine I take it with 50mg of Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)."


"Got it inserted mid July 2015. Didn't have any problems or lasting pain at the insertion site. Healed quickly. Had my period when I got it, stopped 3 days later like normal. Didn't bleed again until mid Oct and that was only spotting over 2 days. Haven't bled again since (now January 4, 2016)

My sex drive did dip low for about 2 months and I was moodier than normal but I knew and expected that based on researching before deciding on getting it, so my husband was prepared lol.

Most the time now I forget it's even in my arm and you can't even tell it's there unless you're feeling for it.

Its nice to not have to worry about taking a pill everyday, scheduling an appointment every 3 months for the shot or worring about an IUD shifting."


"Not ONLY the pain from rheumatoid arthritis - Arava made my hair fall out, lump in esophagus, and chronic throat infection."


"Started on Victoza 10/10/10 on 0.6 for one week then 1.2 for the second week and finally onto 1.8 the third week also whilst taking Victoza was taking metformin 2x500g twice daily, pioglitzones (Actos) 60g twice daily, gliclizide 160g twice daily. Have found that L have had some weight loss but not that much maybe 12/15lbs but can not afford to lose the weight as I am now down to 11 stone or there abouts. Side effects: not sure if this is just because of the Victoza or because of all the medicine I am taking together: sickness, vomiting, headaches lots and lots of gas. Burps really stink of EGGS find that this happens mostly at night time waking me up and then eases off during the day. Blood sugar not too bad but not great."


"I am a big guy, 6'3", 265 lbs. I took first dose at 5pm, gulped it down in 5 min immediate followed by required water over the next 20 min. Did not use any tricks just gulped it down...wasn't the most pleasant but not bad enough that I could not do it. Everyone is different, just went at it with the attitude I had to do it! Followed with lots of rumbles in the tummy but did not have to "go" for almost 2 hours! Was wondering if it was working, if I did something wrong or what? Turns out everyone reacts differently and it was working fine. Repeated the process at three in the morning, and by the end it just looked like pee which turns out what it is suppose to do! Overall, a good experience since now I know it was working."


"Mixed it with half a packet of lemon-lime Crystal Light and refrigerated it. Didn't find the taste bad at all; consistency a bit weird (like watery maple syrup). No cramping, tiny bit of bloating until it started working. Drank a cup every 10 minutes. Started working 45 minutes after 1st dose (15 minutes after the 4th). Was able to sleep; did need to get up once. Second prep in morning; started working pretty much with the 1st dose. Pretty much ran its course after 2 hours."


"I took Ambien for a couple of nights, great drug, really works, slept like a baby deeply. Felt drugged the next day but I'm very sensitive to these feelings. Then I decided to not take it again, and had "rebound insomnia" the first night, that was last night. Today I feel very tired after getting maybe 1 or 2 hours of sleep last night. I'm going to try everything I know to get a good nights sleep tonight. Usually I do not need any sleep aids at all. Only took it recently because my sleep got messed up after a travel and being in a difficult place to sleep."


"I switched to Tri-Sprintec because I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and it was getting too expensive. I was terrified after reading reviews so thought I needed to post mine saying I noticed no change. I've always had blemishes so I don't blame Tri-Sprintec for that. It's not any worse. No bleeding, period the same time and length and flow as before. No moodiness or cramps. My experience (two months so far) is that I feel like I'm still on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, my side effects didn't change at all but I'm saving so much money!"


"Very helpful in reducing anxiety for me.  It is fast-acting, and it made a difference in me being able to keep up with my job.  Now, I'm on Klonopin though since the doctor said that it stays in the system longer for anxiety.  However, the fast relief of Xanax works very well when an immediate spike in anxiety happens.  The effects usually only last a few hours for me, and I can understand how it can be addictive for this reason, but it's been great for immediate panic symptoms and helpful with focusing.  I did not notice that "drugged up," foggy feeling on a small dose of .5 mg-1 mg as needed."


"I have been taking 4 x Pentasa 500mg twice daily since I was diagnosed with Crohn's in June this year.  I haven't noticed any side effects but my stomach cramping, bloating, gas and just general pain has dramatically decreased so I think it is helping!  Yay.  My specialist has advised that if my symptoms don't totally subside on this medication I've to try a steroid so hopefully it continues to work for me.  Thankfully I'm in Scotland as well so I don't need to pay for the prescription."


"I couldn't be happier with how this drug has helped my daughter.  She's been taking it for 8 months now, with absolutely no problems.  We tried 2 doses of 4-hour methalyn first, but it just didn't seem to help much.  She's getting all A's in school and will actually be tested for the 'gifted' program next year because of this medicine allowing her to focus and concentrate on her school work.  The only 'slight' con I have is when it wears off, she's a little moody, but she gets over that quickly."


"I was prescribed Effexor after a really bad anxiety attack about 3 years ago. At first, it was really great. Less suicidal thoughts, my anxiety wasn't as bad, but I wasn't eating. I had absolutely no appetite whatsoever, I starved myself until I lost 20 lbs and they increased my dosage from 37.5 to 150 mg. It's years later and I now suffer from an eating disorder that I didn't before. The side effects; dizziness, bad coordination, insomnia, headaches, lightheadedness, and especially the fatigue, all impacted my life to the point where I dropped out of high school. The withdrawals, which occur after 24 hours of not taking the pill, make you feel inhuman. I was better before."


"First time colonoscopy.  Took first dose at 2pm with a lemon wedge chaser to kill the anticipated aftertaste then 32oz of water quickly thereafter.  Most taste was gone after the lemon juice.  It's a lot of fluid to drink at once but not that bad. 15 min later I was off to the toilet...off and on for the next 11/2 hrs (not stuck on toilet for the entire time though) this stuff really works.  Next dose at 8pm, with the same result as the first time.  I was able to go to bed at 11pm with no further effects.  Got up at 6am feeling good for my 8am procedure.  Doctor said the prep worked well.  I tolerated this bowel prep pretty well and didn't suffer any side effects other than the urge to go."


"I've been on Topamax for almost 2 months now. My migraines were out of control and this has definitely helped them some and I'm extremely grateful for that. However, the side effects hit me really really hard! In the beginning, the pins and needles in my hands and feet were so, so bad. I would wake up in the middle of the night yelling about how bad my feet hurt, because they woke me up. I had trouble touching things and picking things up because of the pins and needles in my hands (and occasionally still do). And for a while I was really, really spacey and slurred a lot of words and couldn't hold a conversation or do much of anything. I go back to the doctor soon for my follow up appointment, so I guess we'll see what happens."


"After reading all the reviews, there are a good number of them that sound the same (mentioning it is pricey but worth it, and that it works right away), and I wonder if this is company reviews rather than women like me."


"I was prescribed this for my allergies and took it only a couple of times.  I have an auto-immune disorder that causes dry eyes and this medicine made them drier. It also made them itch more and become redder."


"Result:
*  Examining physician remarked at clarity of examination conditions

Taste:
*  Not great, but comparable to cough syrup - tolerable
*  By reference, I have paid good money (in my younger day) to drink more than a few shots of whiskey that were much tougher to swallow than this stuff..........

Experience post ingestion:
*  Began expelling within 20 minutes
*  Continued expelling roughly every hour to hour and a half through the night
*  Limited rest over night due to frequent expulsion, but for the positive results (see above), absolutely a tolerable down side tolerate

Conclusion:
*  Med was effective at delivering intended result in my case and well worth the noted challenges above to get the desired outcome."


"Been taking Saxenda for 2 weeks and am on 1.8mg, going up to 2.4 today. Down 5 pounds! Goal is to lose 30 more. It has greatly reduced my appetite and any cravings. Few side effects: dehydrated, vomited once, nauseous here and there. I inject in the evening. Bought needles quite I expensively off Amazon. My insurance won't pay for it so I ordered it from a reputable Canadian pharmacy. I have hypothyroidism and am menopausal so losing wt is very hard. I have high hopes Saxenda will work for me!"


"For 10 years, I have been experiencing severe itching along my jawline right up to the ears.  I was seen by my primary care providers and also a few dermatologists.  They were not able to diagnose the problem and suggested Cortisone.  I do not like Cortisone, as it "thins" the skin.  Finally, one of my providers suggested Eczemin Cream.  I tried it and it is the only thing that relieves the "itch."  I wouldn't want to be without it.  It's a MUST and goes in my "travel" bag."


"Sadly no effect on my pain."


"I can't tolerate Xanax and this works very well for me."


"In my travels, I keep a couple of combo acetymenophin/codeine derivative pills available, in the case of either diarrhea or sleepnessness.

I  use it very sparingly and never combine it with alcoholic drinks.

Quite satisfactory--worth toting around.

Long shelf life, apparently."


"Have been on Fentanyl 50 mcg patches for 3  years.  Tried name brand Duragesic-worked best, Mylan-stuck best/less relief, Watson and Sandoz generic worked similarly, but Sandoz do not stick as well.   Watson seem to work best in the first 24 hrs, while Sandoz lasts longer.  To keep from falling off: 3M Tegaderm film transparent dressing.  4inch x 4 and 3/4 inch size works best for 50mcg  size patches.  Tegaderm patches usually available from the pharmacy counter-no script needed.  Put over the patch when you first apply it - you will survive hot showers, etc.  Menopause/ hot flashes-another story, as the perspiration is under the patch which inhibits its ability to osmose the medicine.  Best to change every 48-60 hrs for best pain relief."


"I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder (Before my traumatic event, I was already an anxious person). Neurontin calms me like Klonopin, but helps me focus instead of sedating me. I take 300mg 4x a day, so it doesn't make me tired. It makes me very talkative, which is strange. I talk to random people sometimes, which is unlike me. "


"This shot took me from 0-10 in seconds. My emotions were all over the place. I cried all the time was just going crazy from hormones. I then became severely anemic due to bleeding the entire time on the shot. So tired muscle cramps and out of breath. I took it due to the fact I was Breast feeding."


"This BC was great for the first pack then I started bleeding non stop heavy. Bleeding stopped as soon as I quit taking it!! Never again!!!"


"I have suffered with ulcers on my ankles (poor circulation) for years.  Every once in awhile one if not both will get infected.  Legs swell and skin turns purple as well as becoming very sensitive.  The ulcers feel as though hot needles are being shoved into them.  Keflex always knocks out the infection within a few days."


"This is my first Y.I and I couldn't get to the Dr. For a week, so they told me to try monistat, 7 day treatment. I put it in the first night, no problem. Second night, no problem. By the third day it was doing much better. But all of a sudden the third night, I put it in and intense itching happened. I put some of the cream on the outside and instant burning. It was horrible. I squeezed my legs together begging myself to fall asleep. I woke up that morning and was a little itchy, but felt way better. I then put it on tonight (my 4th night) around 8:30 and here it is, 12:40 and I am up frantically wiping it off trying to relieve this itch. It's horrible. its like it's better UNTIL I use the medicine. Definitely not finishing the last 2 days."


"Maxalt does work. Usually Fioricet works but when my migraine becomes worse Fioricet doesn't do anything and Maxalt does the trick!"


"I am now 19 years old. I got the nexplonon in October of 2016. The first 4 or 5 months were straight bleeding. My mood has been everywhere. And even after the first few months I would bleed for 2 or three weeks stop for a few days to a week and bleed again. Currently haven't had any bleeding for about 2 to 3 weeks now. Have been really nauseous, have horrible cramps, lack of appetite. I feel like I am pregnant. Took one test and was negative. Also have had very little sex drive, around 15lbs of weight loss, almost no break outs. I'm working on getting it out. It also feels like it bent in my arm and is now the shape of a Cresent moon. This is the only birth control I have ever taken. I really can't wait to get it removed!"


"I just started Lexapro a week and a half ago.  I noticed results almost immediately.  The only side effect I encountered was a slight light-headed feeling that has since subsided for the most part.  I have felt like hell and have been struggling with anxiety/depression for the past six years without medication.  This stuff has literally saved my life.  I feel like my old self again.  My only regret is that I didn't try it sooner."


"I experienced insomnia due to the stress of repeated night wakings from my baby coinciding with my husband leaving for a week at a time for work. I began with 7.5mg and it worked like a charm from the beginning. Some drowsiness in the morning but nothing a cup of coffee wouldn't cure. I gained 7 lbs but I am keeping track of calories now and that is almost off again. Could not say for certain if it was a result of this medicine because that happens if I am not paying attention anyway. Baby still wakes at night at times but I can go right back to sleep on this. I would recommend it to anyone with sleep issues."


"Prescribed for BP but also nearly eliminated migraines. I started having migraines 13 years ago and high BP 1 year ago. My first BP prescription was 5-10mg amlodipine daily. It lowered my BP and *almost* more importantly nearly eliminated all migraines (from previous 2-3 per month to a few for the year of which none were severe enough to require real migraine medications). I believe amlodipine has also expanded and intensified whatever fatigue I might normally experience, but *for me* that is an acceptable tradeoff (yes, fatigue can be limiting, but migraines are limiting and excruciatingly painful). I can see where a person taking amlodipine only for BP might be unhappy with the side effects, but the migraines are far far worse."


"Cannot wait to get off this pill...horrible mood swings!  Extremely irritable, crying at everything, beginning to dislike my husband (not good!), feel like I am coming out of my skin some days, I cannot stand myself and I'm pretty sure my family is starting to feel the same.  Took me a couple of months to figure out it was the pill causing it, since this all started after I started taking it 4 months ago.  I started with it to help with very heavy periods, it is helping with that although I did have a 2 week period last month which is never enjoyable.  Pretty sure this pill is causing me to have this PMDD which I have never experienced before.  It's horrible.  Switching to something else so hopefully it will get better!"


"I have had the implanon implant for the past 7 years. My experience has been very positive, I have had complete loss of period since getting the implant and no noticeable side effects apart from a lower sex drive which I have only discovered since getting it removed. 2 months ago I had my third implant removed after talking with my boyfriend and deciding that I no longer required birth control and would like to experience my natural body cycles again. I have had a few side effects since getting it removed but nothing too bad (some break outs, exhaustion, lack of motivation), only my period still hasn't returned yet. My doctor said it may take a few months, so hopefully it returns soon."


"The label with dosage information is not clear. Under the last bottle I bought, the label was very clear: 10 ml not to exceed 6 doses per day. The new bottle dosage says: 20 ml every 12 hours. So which is it? 10 as needed, or 20 every 12 hours. Plus the direction information is under one of those "peel corner..." tabs. It is very difficult to peel the corner off without destroying the dosage information and directions. I had to call a pharmacist to get an answer as to how much I should take. First pharmacist said  2 Tbls = 10 ml. Then another said 2 tsp = 10 ml. Very confusing label."


"Started mtx in early 2010, I was on it the better part of the last 5  years.  I'm also on my fourth biologic.  I take 2mg of folic acid daily.  Last May I did a four day stretch in hospital because of bone marrow suppression.  RBC, WBC, ANC, platelets and hemoglobin were very low.  (ANC under 200).  I was given leucorvorin rescue.  This is a very rare side effect for low dose mtx.  Although the drug only gave me a 10 to 20% improvement, the biologic gives me 60 to 90%.  Now I'm about to start Arava, I wish I could retry the mtx at half dose as it doesn't cause much in the way of minor side effects.  I often think of Huey Lewis and his song "I want a new drug"."


"Voltaren gel is very helpful and good for any type of pain.
ALWAYS ask your Doctor to prescribe. It works well on my pains. I have a spine injury, had 4 back surgeries, also in my shoulders I have bursitis pain and a rotator cuff tear.
Voltaren also comes in a 12 hour patch, it works well too."


"It always works!"


"I took Requip for Restless Legs Syndrome about 2 years ago.  To this day I don't know what precipitated the condition but I was completely satisfied with Requip.  It is noteworthy, however, I only had to take it a dozen times in 2 years.  If it were a chronic condition, I don't know if it would have been effective.  Best of luck.

"This is the first birth control where I haven't had spotting or had an allergic reaction to! I just finished my third pack last night, and the week I was supposed to have my period was the best it's been in a long time. I did cramp a little the first two days, but nothing ibuprofen can't fix. My period was so light I could get away with just wearing a liner and it only lasted about 2-3 days. This birth control hasn't helped with my acne at all, but I don't think it's necessarily worse which is a good thing. I'll be going on accutane soon for that anyways. Another thing to note is I ALWAYS take it at exactly the same time everyday with maybe a minute or so to spare, which I'm sure is the reason I've had such luck with it!"


"I usually use the equate off brand of monistat and have no problem whatsoever. Decided to use the monistat brand, my vagina is on fire. Have an ice pack on now....never again will I use this."


"Was able to get around  without shortness of breath and start exercising again. Waiting for insurance company to approve it. Very good med"


"Works fast and is great for anxiety.  Lasts a long time and really just calms me down through times of stress.  Don't know what I would do without it."
