"I love love my Implanon. I have had it for 2 1/2 years now and it puts me at ease.  I never have to worry about forgetting a pill or taking pills late, also, it's not affected by antibiotics! I have very light periods every couple of months for a day or two that are easily managed with panty liners. I have noticed a decrease in sex drive, however not having a little one right now is definitely more important to me.  I will be getting it removed soon and will without a doubt get a new one."


"I was prescribed 200-700mg for bipolar with psychotic features. At 200-400mg I slept well and woke up happy and felt content. Some symptoms remained, thus the increase to 700mg. At that level I had nightly blackouts where I would write belligerent texts to loved ones at night, and have no memory of it. I was horrified to learn of it later. I've tried Geodon and Zyprexa with bad results like drooling somnolence and tachycardia. Next doctor visit I will ask to be put on 300 Seroquel. I had good results at that level, and wish to return to that. Looking forward to it. I'm not on any anti-psychotic currently and I feel anxious."


"I've been on Celexa 20mg for 15 years now and I love it.  I started with Paxil and then try Zoloft and Wellbutrin.  The last three medication made me feel like a zombie.  But Celexa is different.  Celexa made me feel like myself again, no side effect.  I had a big depression (due to baby blues and multiple surgeries and lots of pain for long periods of time).  Celexa SAVED MY LIFE.  I've been on 20mg for all this time and didn't have to increase the dosage.  If I try to stop, I become suicidal again (with no reasons at all) so I will keep taking this wonderful life saving medicine forever.  Thank you for saving me. You cannot "control" depression with your "will".  Depression is a sickness, like diabetes or heart problems, and Celexa is the best."


"I had the three day treatment and made it through those days with mild itching and burning but nothing severe. It's day five and I applied the cream because I still experience mild itching, and a few minutes in it started to burn and itch so badly I felt I had no self control. I was shaking and scratching violently before I finally decided to wash it all off and now my regular itching feels like heaven. I hate this product."


"I have only been on the patch for about a month, but I think that it's long enough for me to have a somewhat legit opinion on this medicine. So far, so good. I was on the pill before I started this, and I never remembered to take it. I would be hours late, sometimes missing it all together, and being sexually active, that's pretty risky. I love that I only have to change it once a week. I hate how sometimes it sticks to my underwear, and when I pull them down to use the restroom, they pull on it. But that's all about where on the butt you put it. I'm on my patch off week and I'm having awful cramping. That's the only downfall. All in all, great."


"I%u2018m half way through the course of tablets for a UTI. Never again do I want to take this drug. Had migraines from hell every single day since starting the treatment. After a really bad migraine today, I got suspicious this antibiotic might be trigger. I don%u2018t know what to do. I don%u2018t want to take another day of it. Today I had to take 100 mg of sumatriptan to get rid of a migraine.  I had a UTI a few months ago and a different doctor gave me another antibiotic that didn%u2018t give me the headaches from hell.
But stopping antibiotics before you finish your course leads to antibiotics resistance. But since I had migraines 5 days in a row I%u2018m not going to take another tablet!"


"The ONE and ONLY time this medication didn't work occurred when I had an infection in my intestinal tract which necessitated treatment with antibiotics. Otherwise it always works."


"I have been HIV Positve for about 32 years.  The last cocktail  I was taking for about 8 years was Epzicom and Combivir . A year ago I changed my regimen to Triumeq . Initially, the side effects I experienced were sleeplessness, nausea and stomach gas, these symptoms lasted for about 3 months. Due to the sleeplessness, started taking the medication in the mornings  instead of the evenings. The first positive thing I noticed was that my skin became more hydrated and I had less skin eruptions. After one year on the medication I feel very normal , I continue to workout 3 times a week and my energy level is high. My Viral Load remains undetectable and my CD4 went from 800 to 1,150 . I am very happy that I made the switch to Triumeq ."


"This drug has changed my life. Before taking Cymbalta I was depressed, anxious and borderline suicidal. Within a few weeks of my first dose (60mg) I noticed that I was more outgoing, friendly and that my mood has significantly improved. Although I experience some sexual side effects, the drug has been incredible on the whole. I'd highly recommend it."


"My Cardiologist put me on Metoprolol 2 times daily and Azor once daily.  After I began taking the Azor  I noticed I was losing a lot of hair in the shower and in my sink. When I went to get my haircut, my Stylist asked me if I had been sick because my hair was so thin.  That was it, I stopped taking it.  Within a week, I no longer noticed my hair any longer falling out.  Have an appointment with m Cardiologist today and I am sure he won't be happy.  At least I am a little luckier than a lot of you, because my insurance did cover it."


"I was on a three month trial because I ha r heavy periods, the first week was great it lightened my period. But on the 8th day of taking my first pack I became extremely sick, vomiting, diarrhea... Had to stop taking it because it was making me so sick. Be careful!!"


"I had a hysterectomy in 1998 and was on Premarin 0.0625 for many years then Doctor decided not good to prescribe anymore. I was so very miserable! If have to live like that -don't want to. It was terrible. No doctor knows your body like you do! And just for the record, one of my sisters is 73 yrs old aznd still has terrible hot flashes! Sometimes it looks as if she just stepped out of the shower! My mother was the same way! I am not willing to live like that! There are pro's and con's on everything!"


"I have Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, and anxiety, I have never felt more calm and in-control of my emotions. Usually every night I'd fall into a fit of thinking of self-harm, I have thought of them no more, I still get sad, but it's sadness, not full on depression. My anxiety has decreased so much, I still get nervous, but it is not even close to how bad it was. An added bonus, is for me, it makes me drowsy, so I get more sleep. I have never been so happy in my life. Prozac is a life saver."


"I have been on Adderall for a little under a month. Let me say, this is the magic pill. I can focus, sit and watch an actual movie, and pay attention in daily life as well as my college. Love Adderall."


"I can not longer use Imitrex or related drugs for migraine pain due to heart issues. In searching for an alternative migraine treatment, my doctor prescribed Indocin. Alone Indocin can't relieve migraine pain, but combined with Midrin, I get relief. I'm in the midst of weekly migraines.  They had been reduced with Midrin, but still lasted days.  Now, combining the two, I can break the migraine cycle."


"I was in the ER for a broken orbital bone and they gave me a shot of Demerol and I felt like a million bucks. Instant relief. World's better than Morphine."


"Alright so I'll give you the full on details. It works great for me but you definitely don't want to be out of reach of a toilet within an hour after eating because you Have To Go. I suffer from severe constipation, I used to only go to the bathroom once every week and my pain from being so bloated just got ridiculous. Linzess really helps, even if I forget to take it for a few days and get backed up, it works to flush me out. Haha. I know. But still don't know what I would do without it because laxatives are Not good."


"I tried Ambien but the only thing it did was make me stumble through the house like a drunk but not sleep well at all. But from the first time I took Lunesta 3mg it gently put me to sleep and I sleep the best I have slept in a long time; and after 2-3 years it still works well. Plus I wake with no feeling like I even take something to sleep. I am finding the need to take it to get sleepy more now, so my tolerance for this may have increased but I still think its a wonder drug for me. I think different people need different medicines to help. I think I'm lucky this works so well for me. Good luck everyone! I hope you find something that works just as well for you!"


"I was put on provigil at the age of 12 and it worked sometimes but I lost Insurance after hitting 18 then was able to get back on it at 20. Now I've been taking for 3 years and going. 2 200 milligrams 1 time when I wake up.some times 3 due to tollarence. I do road construction and operate heavy machines like Bob cats and trucks and rollers but I still fall asleep when we move to next job(not driving) I also use marijuana to help balance the shakes. It works wonders for me. You might just have to bump up dosage. I do this at 50mg plus  until it works. Never went past 600 mg tho. Only bad effect is aloft of aggression and mania list of appetite"


"I have a lot of pain in my hands, all the time.  Myoflex gives me instant relief.  Best product on the market."


"I've been taking 50mg Topamax twice daily and 30mg of Phentermine once in the morning for about a year now. The dosages are low and weight loss has been gradual but I am very happy with the combination. I was instructed originally to take 15mg Phentermine in the morning and a second capsule before 3pm but it really affected my ability to get to sleep at night and I didn't feel like I needed it mid day.

I'm not thrilled about the foggy memory and problems putting together words the Topamax seems to cause from time to time, but it has been well worth it. I also experienced some hair loss after upping my dose of Topamax but it resolved after a few weeks.

In all, I've list about 70 pounds this last year with diet and exercise."


"I am 46/F/305 lbs......I just started premiere weight loss center yesterday.I am doing 500 cal right now, phentermine 37.5 daily, and get weekly b-complex injections......I tried this back in 2011, had great success, lost 60lbs in about 4 months.....due to a shoulder injury and surgery, had to stop...was layed up for 18 months, ugh......then I changed jobs, got divorce...life got in the way, lol. So today is my first day back on it...the phen has started working immediately already...I'm having to force myself to eat...I think I'm going to try some high protein, low cal shakes....easier for my lifestyle as well....I'm in the nursing field and always on the go. I hate water, but love Dt coke...will check in after 1st weigh in 4/22!!!"


"This has been a miracle for me, it keeps my mind calm and in balance. I had delusions coupled with moderate to severe mood disturbances and this puts me back on the normal spectrum."


"Tried Muse for the first time tonight and well not very impressed yet.

It gave me the initial erection but did not last long at all not even an hour.

I am on many meds for Diabetes though so I'm sure that played a part.

I will try it again for sure though. Also I am only on the 250mcg dose.

I would say it's a start though much better than what has been going on."


"Helped me the first day. Used for shoulder and neck. Increased range of motion."


"I have been taking 10 mgs. Lexapro now for two months for depression and anxiety. I hope I never have to stop.  I started feeling better the first day and it hasn't let up. This has made me feel as good as I did 15 years ago. (Previously it was a slow, steady decline). There are definitely side effects: for me there have been pretty serious fatigue and near-total loss of appetite. I will use weight gain supplements to stop the weight loss if I have to (I already weigh 107 lbs., down from 115lbs), but I'm not sure what to do about the fatigue other than drink more coffee. (I should also note that this medicine completely solved my sleeping problem, literally the first night. I used to never sleep; now I sleep 7 hours. A miracle for me!)."


"I have been taking Remicade for approxim ately one year now and find it works quite well for my Behcets symptoms.  Things were great during the initial phase of loading doses but I found once my treatments were scheduled for every eight weeks, I seemed to experience a flare before my next session (Around the 5 or 6 week period).  My doctor has just increased the treatments to every four weeks and we are hoping this will get rid of my flares all together.  The only side effect of the Remicade that I have experienced is fatigue following the infusion."


"I have suffered from adult acne for years.  I have found that the most effective treatments I have used have often been for products for rosacea like Prosacea which is over the counter.  It worked well for about a year and then slowly became ineffective.  So my dermatologist prescribed this.  It worked wonders after just 2 days.  I rate it a 10! :)"


"I have been on this medication for almost a month. I got my period once , but it hasn't even been a week later that I got a second period. My first period was very light and only lasted three days, but I'm not sure how this period will be."


"I was prescribed this product for an upper respiratory infection yesterday at the ER. The doc said to hold on from taking it for a couple of days because he thought I have a viral infection.  Last night I was feeling so miserable, my sinuses were burning up, chest with lot of congestion, etc. So I called the nurse at the ER to ask if I could just take it right away, I am also pregnant.. She said to go ahead and take it, that it would not hurt if it was viral. I took the first 2 pills around 11pm. I could not sleep, it does raise your heart rate a little, I guess when it fights the infection.. Today I started feeling much better at around 5pm. I am so glad I followed my guts and took this med, it is a miracle med."


"I've been on this pill for about 8 months now. I started when I met the most amazing man in the world. Unfortunately, we're in a long distance relationship so the small amount of time we get every 2 weeks, he of course wants to have sex. Before I started Levora I would have sex with him 2-4 times a day, it was the most amazing sex of my life! Ever since I started the pill I don't even want to kiss him. He thinks I'm not attracted to him anymore because I NEVER want to have sex! If he wasn't so in love and patient with me I know that he would have been gone by now. I absolutely hate how much this has affected my sex drive, it's caused me to gain 10lbs, and sometimes I get overly emotional/depressed."


"I've been on Zoloft for the past four months and it's worked great! I'd been on 3 other medications before that and none of them have worked as well as Zoloft when it's coupled with 15mg of Buspar and 20mg of Adderall. My anxiety has dropped, my mood has improved dramatically, and I've even lost weight, which I haven't been able to do since I recovered from my eating disorder. Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to have my dosage upped because of my Seasonal Affective Disorder, but otherwise it's worked very well."


"Hydroxyzine seems to help more with my reaction to pain than with the actual pain. If I take hydroxyzine while I have shin splints, I still feel quite a bit of pain; it's just that I feel significantly less distressed and distracted by the pain than I normally would be.

It works best for pain if taken with an actual painkiller. I prefer using naproxen, as the hydroxyzine seems to counteract the stomachache I always get from this NSAID."


"I have had cold sore all my life, and usually get them 1-2 times a year until I found Abreva about 8 years ago.  It worked well for me, put it on a soon as i felt the tingle and the sore would never develop .  However the past three times that i had a cold sore it did not help at all.  the really weird thing is that the last three that i got came with no warning.  i would wake up in the morning and boom it is already on my lip and developing.  This one lasted for 8 days, i am planning to talk with my doc about something stronger."


"I first decided to try the patch after trying the pills for several months. I liked the idea of only having to worry about changing it once a week as oppose to having to worry about the pill every day. At first everything was perfect, I had some spotting here and there but nothing major. My mood was normal and I had no weight gain. The downside of it for me were the headaches. I got terrible headaches from it."


"It worked... I was scared out of my mind and kept looking for reviews that would give me hope, and it worked. My period came a little bit heavier but I have never been so happy for the cramps. Took it within 3 hours of unprotected sex."


"I started taking this pill because everything else gave me cystic acne. At first, I loved this pill, besides the fact that it gave me terrible mood swings and no sex drive. I tolerated that part because it seemed like I was losing lbs and increasing bra size which I was happy about. But about a year into it I started going thru periods of what seemed like depression, lasting about 3 months at the longest. 2 years into it, I'd gained about 10 lbs in 3 months (without any lifestyle change) and NOTHING I did would help me lose the weight. Finally I decided to stop taking it 1 month ago and I already lost 5 lbs, am 10x happier, and my sex drive is back. Didn't get pregnant, but not worth the long-term side effects."


"I first thought Mirvaso was effective, but it actually increased the redness of flushing and made my skin even hotter. After two weeks of trying it I have stopped using it and hope my rosacea goes back to what it was before, which was not good, but better than after using Mirvaso."


"For those that are experiencing headaches and nausea, drink a glass of milk before taking Bactrim.  This always works for me."


"6.25mg of this product 2 X daily, reduced my 160/120 BP to 120/78 in two days."


"I've injected three Humira pen needles so far, been on the treatment for six weeks. I've had Psoriatic Arthritis for 13 years.

Humira began clearing up the psoriasis on my elbows after the second injection. My scalp is beginning to flake a bit less. My actual arthritis feels about the same so far.

My rheumatologist wants me to stay on Humira at least 6 months to try it on my psoriasis, as long as I don't have an adverse reaction to it.

It took about six weeks beforehand, after I got the written prescription for my BCBS insurance to approve the twice monthly medicated needles. It's around $5k per month for the two needles but I pay only $90 month co pay after the coverage.

I will report back here again if I have further significant recovery, I'm hopeful."


"This causes crazy weight gain. I was 120 now 177 pounds... yup! Other than that it works I take 80mg before bed every night but the craving at night for food will get the best of you. It took not long to gain weight now it's taking forever to lose it. But I'm still happy with this drug. Better then haldol and seroquel :)"


"I'm on the last day of a 14 day treatment. A little bad taste but didn't last long.
Doctor must have faith  with Prevpac because I asked if I need to be retested and he said no. A routine colonoscopy/ upper endoscopy showed the presence of H. Pylori. Still not sure how I was infected, had an endoscopy 5 years ago and didn't have it then. My wife said better me than
her she could never had taken all this medication and was amazed how well I tolerated Prevpac 14 day treatment."


"My Dr. prescribed me flagyl 500mg for 4 days, once a day. Before I take any meds i do a research on them to know what to expect or whats not normal, but honestly I have to stop doing this!! I read all this awful symptoms all of you or most of you were going through and I almost give up on the pill before even starting! BUt then I realize each women has a different experience, and so far the only symptom is the metallic taste in my mouth and a little dry my mouth also. I'm hoping this is the last med I have to take and go back to healthy vagina because I've being MONTHS at this, between BV or Yeast infections and its driving me INSANE. Before this pills, I used metrogel for 7days. Either it didn't work, or now I have YI. Good luck to you all!"


"I took crestor for about two years with minor side effects. Since I turned 65, I noticed my leg muscles ( hamstrings, Knees) were hurting. I stopped taking Crestor and my legs feel better. The drug did help lower my cholesterol  but my legs were killing me and I had trouble walking due the stiffness and pain. While I am not 100% certain my leg pain was due to Crestor, it certainly looks that way.It has only been 6 days since I stopped."


"If you take this right before you're going to bed you'll be fine. Don't take it when you still have stuff to do. I take ambien and Zoloft every night right when I'm getting into bed. It doesn't knock me out or anything but it does help me fall asleep faster and stay asleep for more hours."


"Started on 5 mg for one week. I immediately noticed my anxiety spike. I called my doctor. He said continue with the medication and take more xanax. I moved up to 10 mg on week two and my anxiety got even worse. I began taking more xanax to combat the increased anxiety and it is making me sick. Now I'm more depressed because the anxiety is crippling me. I am going back to my doctor tomorrow to discuss options. I have tried a number of medications recently all with poor results. Nothing has made my anxiety spike as high as Trintellix though.
So far the anxiety and some sour stomach are the only side effects I've experienced.
I should probably get off this medication but do not know if I can withstand another medication change."


"Name brand worked. But generic didn't."


"Hi everybody, Sweden's calling:
I've been on Otezla for more than 9 months and most of my Plaque Psoriasis have cleared up!
It seems like the scalp is showing some resistance but I'm not giving up.
Had some side effects like diahrrea and poor appetite in the begining but it's all fine now.
Take care!"


"Well I am on day 11.  I read all the reviews on different sites good and bad.  I finally decided to quit and was scared of the side effects but I started anyway.  By the magical day 7 I didn't feel a thing different.  Still smoking 1 1/2 packets a day. I thought great this won't work for me.  4 days later I am still smoking but yesterday I only smoked 10 cigarettes all day.  I have found that yeah I still have urges but I can tell my self no and my brain(or body) whatever doesn't go into a "nicotine fit".  I have smoked for 15 years and I can see an end in site.  I get no enjoyment or "stress" relief from smoking anymore.  I have not had any major side effects other than I seem to dream more.  Not good or bad dreams, just more.  Hope this helps."


"I am overall happy with the nexplanon. I got mine January 2015, and have not had a period since. The only side effects I've noticed are acne, slight decrease in sex drive, and weight gain. Though the weight gain is good for me since I've always been hopelessly underweight no matter what I did. This was excellent for me, I hope it's good for all of you!"


"Works great only down side makes me pass out"


"While this birth control is HIGHLY effective (ie. No periods, Effective control of not getting pregnant) I have gotten a ton of side effects that were NOT worth it to me.

Firstly, after a month of getting it, I starting getting chin hairs and it has gradually gotten worse over the past six months. Like a mild beard. Not only has the hair been embarrassing and I complete blow to my self-esteem I have also developed in-grown hairs to go along with it and scars that won't go away.

Secondly, I have gotten the absolute WORST acne.

Lastly, I have gained 30 lbs immediately after getting this implant and my diet is fairly healthy and I also am very active so there is no other reason for me to gain weight except for Nexplanon."


"I also suffer from mild post traumatic stress disorder due to multiple miscarriages. At work and in my personal life I was very irritable - 0-50 in 2 seconds. I thought it was just who I am, until a minor situation happened at work. It opened my eyes, but I was devastated to hear from my doctor that I had to take medication. I felt like a failure. I started out with 20 mg/day, and by the fourth week a miracle happened. I felt "normal" - I started to worry about the things I should worry about, and all the little things did not matter at all. After taking it for 3 months, at times I found my mood to be irritable, so I'm now taking 30 mg/day and have not felt better."


"I had very mild redness and was surprised when my dermatologist gave me a few rhofade samples. I only applied it once and discontinued because of weird tingling sensations all over my face. In about two days after that my face turned red and was covered with tiny pimples. I’ve never had those before. It’s been a week since and my face is slightly less red and no more pimples but overall it’s still much worse than before rhofade. I’ve never had any reaction to alcohol until then either but now a single drink makes my face red. I reported my case to FDA and will be looking for a different dermatologist. I think it’s totally irresponsible to give out samples of medication that can cause lasting damaging effects."


"I got the Depo Shot 1.5 yrs. ago. I was having painful periods due to my endometriosis. I received the shot in my butt and it didn't hurt. After my 1st shot I had some spotting for a few days. Then about 8 weeks in I got a light period for 4 days, but got worse on week 11 and had a regular period (which are normally painful for me). My doctor decided I could get the shot every 6-8 weeks to help with my painful periods & growth of endometriosis. During this time I hadn't gotten a single period which is good. HOWEVER, since I've been on it for a yr. now & my side effects: fatigue, hot flashes, fatigue, mood swings/anxiety, & weight gain of 25 lbs.! I didnt get my next shot & it's been 15 weeks since my last shot. No change nor period yet."


"I've been on this medicine for more than 4 months. Not feeling any better at all. More tired, and more hair loss is what I've been experiencing. Still feeling no motivation, lethargy and depressed/isolated. "


"Suffered severe crippling migraines on a regular basis, doctor put me on Olmesartan 40mg 3 times a day, and the migraines gradually went away completely. Tapered off, the migraines came back. Started back on, migraines went away again. I do not have high bloodpressure, and taking Olmesartan have only lowered my blood pressure slightly. Been on Olmesartan now for 4 years."


"My pinky toenail has been infected since 2000.  I finally asked my doctor for a prescription because I was tired of wearing shower shoes in my own shower and being worried about spreading it to my wife or kids. I'm two and a half months into the treatment and I can definitely see a difference. Where the nail was yellow, brittle and thick, it is now clear and looks more like my other toenails.  It's not quite back to the way it was but it's a huge improvement.  The nail is still a little thicker than the others but it's not nearly as brittle as it was.  The other thing I noticed is that the toe does not have any fungus around the nail anymore, no itching, burning or swelling in that area in over 2 months.  No side effects either."


"Been on Zoloft for about 3 weeks. Gradually upped dosage. Feel better, just can't ejaculate. Hopefully this will change as my body adapts to the drug."


"I've been on Lo Loestrin for 4 months.  This pill is one of the best I've taken so far.  No periods or crazy mood swings.  Sex drive is normal.  Only downside is that I have gained some weight and it's been hard to lose it while being on this pill.  Second downside it's expensive, and my insurance doesn't cover it so its cost me 75$ per month.  Overall, good experience on this pill."


"My psychiatrist initially prescribed Nuvigil to enable me to be alert and awake during the day.  I suffer from bad insomnia and I'm being treated for major depressive disorder and post traumatic stress disorder.  I'd taken Provigil in the past and it seemed to help with depression.  Yesterday I overslept and decided not to take my Provigil fearing it would keep me awake even longer than usual.  That was a huge mistake, I became horribly, morbidly, depressed.  I didn't make that mistake this morning, I took my Nuvigil as usual and my (worse than usual) depression is gone.  I haven't experienced any side effects but I wish Nuvigil would enable me to lose weight like it does many people.  I was on Abilify for a few months and gained several lbs."


"I first started taking Aviane in 2005 when Alesse was no longer offered. I loved it then and I love it now. I have no complaints about it. I recently started taking it again two months ago and it works the same. Little side effects. What I love best is I have not gained any weight as I have before on other pills. So before you listen to anyone else do your research and try it out for yourself. Hope this helps someone."


"I started on this medication back in February of 2017.  I weighed in at 219 +/-.

I had a few side effects [constipation slight] took some over the counter medicine and all is good.  I didn't see anything at first, it took about 1 1/2 months.  But to date I have lost 31 lbs.  I don't really notice it looking at myself [I rarely do, as I have been disgusted with my weight issues and how I just really let myself go] but different co-workers noticed that my face was thinner.  Then I noticed that my tops were looking like I was drowning.  All in all, this has been a positive, and I would recommend.  Thank you~"


Influenza virus vaccine, live, trivalent

"My two year old had the Flu Mist vaccine on a Monday morning.  By Monday evening he had a fever, no energy or appetite and wanted to go to bed.  Tuesday his temperature spiked to 104.5 and he had achy arms and legs, head and tummy.  Still had a fever all day Wednesday but started taking fluids again, still not eating.  When he was one he had the shot and had no reaction.  I think we'll stick with the injection from now on."


"I've been suffering from nausea/vomiting due to my pregnancy. At the Emergency Hospital I was prescribed to take Reglan 10mg.  Bought the medicine and afraid to take it, took me two weeks to finally try them due to horrible reviews I read online. This medicine stopped my vomiting and to my surprise never had any side effect on me."


"After being on methotrexate and Humira I experienced no relief as well as a SEVERE LIFE THREATENING episode called Ludwigs Angina, ended up in a coma for 4 days, and was told if I had waited 1/2 hr longer to go to ER, I probably wouldn't have survived! I swore off all arthritic medicines for a year, except for pain medicines.  Rheumatologist understood, and after a year suggested we start back very passively as opposed to aggressively to treatment. She suggested SSZ (sulfasalazine) and I reluctantly agreed. I was told it could take up to 3-4 months before I would see any improvement. Within 3 weeks I felt like a new person, I've been on it for a year and feel wonderful!"


"The depo is different for everyone which I have found out. The only reason I got the depo is because it was highly recommended by people who have not experienced periods while on it, did not get a period in the first month but the second month was bleeding for a full 2 months and that's been my routine ever since will not be getting the 6th shot, I have spoke to a nurse and both doctor about this and it is considered normal as you need at least 3 in your system to get used to them but I am on the 6th and no change, would not recommend"


"Been taking this for an autoimmune disorder that attacks my inner ear nerve. We're still working on determining which one. I am pretty much completely deaf in my right ear. (4%). My left one started going and I ran to a new DR. My ENT (specialized in this area) first put me on another diuretic (after steroid injections and treatments which worked, but were not a good long term treatment plan) and we noticed no improvement. Once on Diamox (generic) my speech recognition went from 72 to 88% over 2 months! Like many of you, it wasn't long before the side effects started. The tingling was immediate. But, my DR had warned me. I didn't know what to do about it, though. Until I saw your posts about Vitamin C"


"I'm a 16 year old girl. I have been on tons of medicines for migrane pevention and nothing seemed to help. One day ended up in the E.R. and missed much school. When I started on Elavil 10mg seemed to do not do much but when my dose was increased to 30 mg I tend to have less frequent (2-3) migranes a week. My migraines are less intense and I'm able to do my studies. The dry mouth is much less when I chew gum but I tend to be tired all the time. This medication has worked the best for me, although not perfect."


"I was told at 32 I needed a knee replacement in both knees due to a birth defect in both knees. A group of doctors wanted to try this new drug on me. At the time it was a series of 5 shots. I could barely walk and was in a lot of pain. Couldn't get out of my car and was being shocked so bad I was being thrown to the floor. I tried the injections (which isn't pleasant ) but what a blessing. The pain stopped after the 3 shot and I was back to doing all the things I loved. They lasted about 2 1/2 to 3 years. I am 52 now and about to take another round of the miracle shots. Last ones kept me going almost 4 years.  Thank you for creating it."


"Initially had Synvisc-One injected into my knee, with only slight benefit (scale of 1-10, improvement to a 4 at best).

Several months later had knees treated with the 3 injection Synvisc and it was a Godsend, on a 10 point scale the improvement has been as high as a 9!  3 months have passed and some minor pain has returned, but still maintaining a 7 on a 10 point scale."


"I have only tried the generic version of Cialis so maybe the real thing would work better, but it does nothing for me except a slight thickening of the penis. That would be fine if I were taking the drug recreationally, but I do actually need some help.

I regularly take Kamagra, which is generic Viagra, and that does work. Viagra is better, and I can get away with half the dose that I use for Kamagra, but it still costs 5 times as much. The slight difference is that Viagra swell the penis a little and possibly numbs it s little too, making you last longer.

But if I had to rely on Cialis, I would have no sex life, effectively. It must just be me, or at least ineffective for some people, because many people swear by it."


"Have been on Celebrex for a year.  Initially for TMJ issues, then picked up mild-to-moderate rheumatoid arthritis last summer.  Been on it continuously except for a couple month long steroid regimens. I wouldn't call it a miracle medicine, but it knocks my inflammation and pain back about 60%.  Certainly not as effective as the steroid, but 60% is enough to keep me fully functional and unlike the steroid, I have minimal to zero side effects with it."


"I cannot stress enough how thankful I am for this medication. I had always been a very smart kid but my drive and focus would come in very short bursts if I was interested otherwise I could not have cared less. I was prescribed 30mg of Vyvanse initially and that was upped to 50mg which I have been taking for over a year now. My grades went from a 3.2 GPA to a 4.0 within a semester. I excelled at work. I am a more alert driver. Like everyone else has said, I feel as if my thoughts are all organized the way they always should have been and I am finally able to catch up on life, which always seemed out of reach. I strongly prefer this medication over Adderall IR which I tried. There are no negative side effects except insomnia."


"Changed my life!"


"Had Tropical Sprue twice with parasites and have been suffering since 1969 Vietnam and Gulf War to the present with diarrhea, bloating, cramps, flatus, perianal fungal infections. Nothing worked accept this medication to stop the frequent loose stools and a host of other symptoms. Had every test that the GI doctors could dream up. I have taken every probiotic known and none of them have worked to reduce the symptoms. I have done every elimination diet and also been on Chinese medicine and treatments. I have used it for two courses of treatment with remarkable results, a 90% reduction of symptoms overall.  I am a retired RN."


"I have been on lexapro for a week and it's been a ride. I have had horrible side effects from the start. Really bad headaches, night sweats, frequent suicidal thoughts. It has had an opposite effect on me. My depression/anxiety are worse. I sleep way too much. I also have experienced loss of appetite while a lot of people gain weight. I've lost 9 pounds in a week, which is really weird because my weight has been the same for years. I never really gain or lose so I know it's the medicines. I'm hoping that all the bad side effects will pass. I don't want to give up on the drug yet. I'm going to at least try and stick it out for a month."


"18 year old college female. I've been medicated for 4 years now and tried concerta (which was hell) and Vyvanse (the devils drug). Evekeo was amazing at first kind of similar to Vyvanse and then it went downhill. Whereas on Vyvanse I just wouldn't eat and was depressed and spacey, this one didn't have side effects like that. But after awhile it made me incredibly mean, and didn't seem to take away the verbal impulse side of the hyperactivity. I'm normally an incredibly happy person but when I'm on this medicine I'm a bitch to whoever over whatever for no reason at all. It did help with the focusing though."


"This medication after one day of use helped me become more productive and happier in myself."


"This is by far the worst birth control I've ever been on! Within four months I found myself feeling irritable and crying constantly. I had heavy breakthrough bleeding and totally lost my appetite. Be wary of taking this medication, it's really not worth all the side effects."


"I got Skyla inserted 5 days ago. I think it's also helpful to mentioned I naturally miscarried last year for the first time in case anyone wants a comparison. (Skyla insertion > miscarriage) I was terrified of the insertion process but it wasn't like any of the horror stories I've read. I should say I took two ibuprofen 200mg 30 mins before. The best way to describe it is like getting a Pap smear but for an extra minute. The whole process was less than 2 mins & it just felt like an intense cramp briefly. After that I went back to work & didn't feel different for 6 hrs, aside from mental awareness. However, 6 hrs later I started getting bad cramps I remedied w/   sleeping through it. Now just spotting & occasional mild cramps, but no regrets"


"I was originally prescribed levoflaxcin for a bad sinusitus  After a week nothing was happening. I was kept on it another week and still nothing. Then the doc gave me The sulfmeth tri.  I have been bed ridden for 7 days.  Body aches dizziness, Nausea, minor Vomiting. I literally feel like I was hit by a train.  I have 7 days left but that is it. I'm done.  I will not put this crap in my body again.  It has been a nightmare."


"The medication is a very good antibiotic & it really did help my situation."


"What a difference it has made in my life."


"I developed severe anxiety whIle on lutera. It was terrible."


"It worked as advertised!  Stroke free for 1.5 years now thanks to plavix"


"Great for high level stress relief, due to quitting. Works well."


"I've have no major side effects! I'm a little more prone to mild infection as with other immunosuppressants. The only side effect I have, is a strong burning sensation while injecting. This is remedied by icing the area before hand and allowing the pen to warm to room temperature immediately before injection."


"I have had negative experiences with opana ER 30 mg / and 10 mg IR  . I have had mostly all of the side effects & my doctor won't listen to me"


"I'm 19 and I've been on Concerta since age 7 . It has helped me no doubt. I have never had any problems as people say above stomach problems I have never had any. The only thing is I keep eating the complete opposite of everyone else. I usually take it at 9am everyday and I notice it wearing of around 6pm. Yesterday I didn't take because I tried something. I'm currently working night shift usually it's been out of my system hours before starting work. So tonight I took it 9pm even though now it's 4.30am and I've been awake since 7am yesterday I neither show or feel any signs of being tired, drained both physically or mentally. This medication has been nothing but a Success for me."


"I got the Skyla put in October 2014. The procedure hurt like a mother but after I got home and took a nap I was fine.  Had light to spotty periods for a couple months. Now I only know when it's that time when I get my normal PMS symptoms.  I unfortunately am one of the unlucky percentage that ended up with the acne side effect which is really irritating. Thought getting of the pill I would lose weight but at first it did but it came back.  Nice not taking a pill everyday but will not be renewing this med."


"I have had 22 treatments and the last one I had in March made me so sick. Going to take my next one 06.10.09, but they make me feel better."


"I had an EF of 12 - no cause or history or heard disease.  My doctor put me on Coreg along with other meds and 6 months later, my EF is 55-60.  I have some side effects from the Coreg, mainly some weakness and occasionally some dizziness, but it is nothing compared to being in heart failure.  Very thankful my doc prescribed this med."


"It really helped me years ago when I took it for about 16 months. It was a nice break from my OCD which is pretty moderate. I had to take 200mg a day for it to be fully effective. I did gain a few pounds and takes longer to orgasm. But it all worked fine. The sad part is you do have a trade off when you take these things. The good news is you can stop taking it for a couple days and then orgasm is normal as it has a short half life. Then go right back to normal on dosage. It quit working for me after about 16 months and nothing else worked so decided to just be without it. I would try it if you need to."


"Been using this gel for about almost a month now and I can tell it works! My doctor told me to start off slow... But I didn't listen.  I use this every night and apply it during the day time if I want to make sure I have no new acne coming. Over all I can't wait to see my skin in 3 months from now."


"I was first prescribed Effexor 13 years ago and was taking 225 mg. I was on it for a few years and stopped taking when I was pregnant with my first child. I was put on Paxil (gained so much weight) and then Zoloft. I took the Zoloft off and on for years until it just wasn't working for me anymore. I was then put on Welbutrin while still taking 25mg of Zoloft. I quit smoking (had no desire to smoke) but then became suicidal. My doctor then put me back on Effexor and I currently only take 75 mg. I feel amazing. Yeah the side effects are bad, I've gained weight (lost weight the first time I was on it), have sexual side effects, and get quite shaky/jittery if I'm late on a dose. But I'm finally the mom I've always wanted to be."


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"This medicine given IV at 5X the recommended adult dose, along with the skill of the best surgeon in Cleveland, SAVED MY LIFE FROM MRSA - which at 9 am looked like a spider bite on my leg and by 1 pm had developed into an orange-sized deadly cyst. I was in isolation for 6 days, coma for one, and AM GRATEFUL FOR MY LIFE! Thank you to the scientists who developed this miracle!! [And don't ignore rapidly enlarging cyst-like growths!]"


"It's great for the joints and does make it feel better, almost like the joints are floating on gel. The bad side of it is that it doesn't help with other pain you may have. So your only option for that is Tylenol."


"I've had Kyleena in for about 5 months now. The insertion felt like a pinch and then mild period cramping, but when I returned home I had the most serious cramping I'd ever had the rest of the night. I took three 200mg ibuprofen beforehand. I bled lightly for about 4-5 weeks after the insertion and since then I've only had one period that lasted 7 days and was pretty light majority of the time. Compared to my birth control pills: CONS: My cramping is worse, my period is longer, recently have been breaking out consistently PROS: no pill to take every night, 5 years of birth control, sex drive has returned"


"I have been on Lexapro for just about 3 years. I was first diagnosed with both depression and anxiety my sophomore year of high school, after I had missed weeks of school due to these conditions. After just the first week on Lexapro I felt better. Eventually, I had to have my dosage raised as I started to feel anxious/depressed again. I'm now a freshman in college, and couldn't be happier with what Lexapro has done for me. I'm actually studying to be a psychiatric nurse to help people like myself, with mental disorders."


"So far so good! Day two on contrave and I'm already down 4lbs. No side effects at all except I get fuller faster. Plus doctor gave me a little tip to not drink any carbination drinks while on it cause carbination makes ur tummy swell. I'm one full week off carbonated drinks and before I started I lost 5lbs. So in one week I'm down 6lbs! Drink lots and lots of water"


"I started Qsymia on December 1, 2015 and so far I am down 25 pounds. This medication has curbed my appetite immensely and has completely changed the way I look at food. Now I eat to live, I don't live to eat. I do have dry mouth and some occasional tingling in my feet, but nothing too bothersome. I also get some constipation, but I have GI issues from multiple auto-immune diseases, so that side effect kind of counteracts that in my favor. The only complaint is that my insurance doesn't cover it, so my current dosage runs about $130 per month; however, that a small price to pay to lose the weight. The weight loss is strictly the change in diet so far, as I really haven't gotten back to an exercise regimen yet."


"I have been using generic Ambien for several years. Works = lot of problems. Doctor gave me samples of Silenor - went to sleep right away and no side effects in the morning."


"After taking this medication for approximately 3-4 days I had wheezing and difficulty breathing.  Please be mindful of all side effects. "


"My mom died when I was 4 and last semester I always had anxiety in the background and now at 15, spring semester of '08 I had some mild panic attacks and worry, nervousness, sadness and excessive shyness all day long. This medication is a life saver and I love it. They say 8 weeks for the full effect and sure it might re-balance your chemicals in 8 weeks, but give it a chance as it still takes a while after that for you to break out of your shell."


"I have been taking this medication for 30 years, and have never had a side effect or seizure. Works very well for me. No complaints. "


"I got my Mirena put inserted on October 14th. It has been 2 months and so far, it has been an amazing decision for me personally. I was very nervous for the insertion but it ended up going really well. I know some people find the insertion very painful, but I felt very low pain, only mild cramping when they put it into place, which was a huge relief as I was very nervous about the pain. The first month I had no spotting, but I did get occasional cramps which were really painful. They only lasted for about 15 seconds and they were very intense, but they would go away and come back about every 30 mins. However, now I only get mild cramps every once in a while. Its definitely worth a try, if you're interested."


"Bystolic is effective in reducing my blood pressure.  It seems to have a calming effect that I like."


"Very surprised at the negative reviews - everyone is different! I've been on Junel for over a year and have loved it.  No weight gain or mood swings. I used to have incredibly heavy periods with painful cramping, and all of that has completely disappeared! My periods are light and short, and I honestly get about one cramp a month."


"I woke up with a cold sore..no tingling warning, went to Walgreen's in my pj's lol..I took  $20 got to Walgreen's $22.99' so I had to write a check I said this must be good it was locked up.. Used it immediately, after three days its almost GONE! For me it worked and worth every cent."


"I started Phentermine 3 weeks ago after the doc advised me that my BMI classified me as "obese."  Many people would probably not consider me "obese" in the traditional sense.  I am 6'1, male, and three weeks ago I weighed in at 228 pounds.  Today, I am down to 207 pounds.  I work out with a trainer 3 times a week (but also did this before going on Phentermine, and was hitting a plateau). I am trying to get down to 185 and will probably hit it by September.  Question for everyone: My appetite completely disappeared the first three weeks, but it has now slowly started coming back ONLY in the evening (usually around 8 or 9pm).  Has anyone else experienced the hunger returning in the evenings at this stage?"


"I'm 17 and I took this pill for around 2 years. Initially I started this pill to help with my heavy and irregular periods and my acne. I've had moderate-severe acne since I was 7 and I was desperate for a change. I never completely got rid of it over two years, I'd still get break outs especially on my back and chest. Little did I know that the type of progestin in this pill is not known to help acne. My gynecologist switched me onto Yaz today. However, this pill did regulate and lighten my periods but not without terrible, terrible cramps. I also started noticing hair loss over the last year but that could be due to stress. It had no effect on my mood and I didn't gain any weight at all, so that was nice."


"I would like to make a comment about Accolate.  After several different medicines years ago, this was the one that kept my asthma under control.  Over the years the price has continued to rise even with my insurance.  This past year it went up to a point I had to give it up.  It has been a nightmare ever since.  Through trial and error my doctor and I have come up with a satisfactory medicine, but nothing will ever compare to the Accolate.  I continue to wait for a generic version to come out.  I hope it is soon.  Ever since discontinuing the use of it, I have acquired bronchitis more than once.  I never used to get it."


"The absolute worst drug I have ever been on. Caused physical illness and a state of mania for a week straight - a week from hell."


"So many other reviews on here but this drug is important. I will chime in as well since it has been prescribed a little different for me. I used to wake up in a panic a couple of times a week, but it's pretty easy for me to gauge my stress level and predict which nights are going to be bad ones. I take 0.25 or 0.5 mg 1 or 2 nights a week, before 2 am or I'll be so zonked I don't respond to my alarm. It does the trick so I can fall right back to sleep after waking, instead of panicking and then ruminating for 5-6 hours, and being a mess at work and with my kids the next day. It works so well & I can easily see how it would be addictive, but it's a life-changer so I am very careful."


"Ladies, and responsible gentlemen.
I was in the same boat as you so let me tell you how this WORKS WONDERS!
So here's the skinny,
My boyfriend and I had protected sex the day after my period ended October 8th, 2015 at 7:15pm. The condom broke and
Within 20 minutes I took the pill. I felt no symptoms but stress. 2 days go by I noticed slight cramping, pooping, and gas. October 12th I started slight mucusy bleeding the color of rust for 3 days. The day of my "ovulation" I had the worst cramp that lasted 30 minutes. It was so strong I was nauseated. But it went away
But now, 1 1/2 weeks late to my cycle November 10th and I got a very long, heavy, period that lasted longer than my usual periods. Keep calm  it worked! SAVED MY LIFE!"


"It works. I'm glad I started taking this medicine I wish I started sooner. If you really want to quit take subutex."


"Relpax works well most of the time, but occasionally it doesn't get rid of all the pain of a migraine.  It takes about 40 minutes to stop the aura and flashing lights, and begins to attack the migraine pain.  Overall it's okay. Why is it so expensive, though?  "


"Initially I started on citalopram 20 mg once a day. It was great for anxiety and my depression but I had no sex drive at all. My doctor changed me to Effexor 75 mg once a day for long term and was taking lorazepam 1mg as needed. My anxiety was not controlled. I had to take my lorazepam up to 3 times a day. Spoke to my doctor and I stayed on the Effexor but he switched me over to clonazepam 1 mg twice daily as needed. Lorazepam has a short life but clonazepam stays in your system way longer. Ever since I started on the clonazepam I feel so much better. There are days I only take 1mg at night and that's all I need."


"I suffer from anxiety and panic disorder. My stomach suffers from my anxiety and it seems that one triggers the other. After struggling for 3 days with constant nausea and running to the toilet I decided to be brave and try one 4mg wafer (I have a fear of any new medication).
I made my husband drive into town, in case I had a reaction...so we were close to the hospital (I know...I'm crazy!!). Anyway, took the little wafer and within about 15 minutes started to feel better. Last night I ate my first full meal in days and this morning I feel fine.
Next time I won't wait as long! A great little pill to always have with you."


"After just a week, it started to exacerbate my restless leg.  It got so bad even homeopathics wouldn't work!"


"Thought this would be a perfect treatment for newly diagnosed but relatively minor hand PsA for past 13yrs. Did experience some weight loss that I attribute that to frequent and loose bm's. There was a detectable mood change but again tolerable. My worst problem was muscle spasms that started in one hip migrated to lower back and then to the other hip to the point of not sleeping. I stopped and ramped up slower which seemed to help but starting coming back. Never had any previous problem with side effects of any meds before. I have what should be good benefits working for a world class employer but plan but they would not cough up without trying the immune suppressive stuff first. Currently on sulfasalizine which seems to help enough"


"This medication is a nightmare!! Ive gotten 2nd degree burns and barely fighting for

Life today!! Horrible horrible stuff!! Not worth ur life!!"


"I am 24 and had Nexplanon put in around January of 2016. The first year was fantastic. Normal period, light bleeding. This year has been awful! I was depressed all of the time, sore boobs, feeling fluttering pregnancy movements in my belly, acne all of the time and I had a very heavy 8 wk long period before I had enough. Told my doctor to take it out ASAP. At the time of having it taken out is when my doc told me it TRICKS your body into thinking its pregnant. Thats why all of the symptoms are so terrible! I've been 3 weeks without it and I'm still working to get my energy back. Period is back to normal. Ladies, beware. Just do your homework."


"I love it!!  It really helps me stay awake during the day.  The only bad this is that my insurance will not approve it so I am unable to get it."


"Have had RLS, gotta be going on 30 years. Ropinirole 4mg (apparently max) works most of the time. Except those times when I take two because muscles make my foot spin backwards.  Hurts like hell."


"I've been on this birth control for 8 months. It would work perfect for me if it wasn't for the acne. I have no mood swings, my period is normal (can be crampy for the first day, but nothing too crazy), my sex drive is normal (definitely increased compared to Yaz!), and I have been able to lose weight on it. However, it has not helped my acne at all. I think it actually makes it worse. I think I will be switching soon for that reason. I should also mention if I don't take it within an hour or 2 everyday, it totally messes up my period and I will get my period at the most random times, even when I was not on the placebo week. I remember when I first started it I got my period every other week (lasting 4-5 days each time), but that went away."


"Very effective medication.  Could not raise my T-cell count or lower my viral load until Fuzeon was added to my 2 other medications.  Now after taking Fuzeon for a few months combined with 2 other medicines my T-cell count increased and for the first time. Viral load undetectable.  Awesome medicine for me."


"Tarina protected me from pregnancy, but not without a cost. I was on this for a total of two months, two pill packs. The first pill pack had less side effects, but the second was awful. I didn't notice any mood changes or anything, but several things happened with my body: Every day on this pill (1st & 2nd pack) I woke up with a hangover type headache. Excedrin helped, but at this point I was taking it every day. After my first pack, my period lasted 1 maybe 2 days (I am usually a light bleeder 3-4 days.) once I started my second pack, I got a full on period in the middle of my pack. Not to mention, I had awful stomach pains all the time. I had never had these issues with birth control prior. As soon as I got off it, I felt relief in days."


"There is no reason to hesitate with this product whatsoever. This product is the bottom line product when treating acne. I have worked as a formulator for a cosmetics company and I am trained chemistry and future physician. This product worked so well for me it has changed my life completely. I have suffered from acne since I was 11. OUT of all the products I used this is the only one that works. The best results are achieved by using it after you shower and wash your face thoroughly so the medication can penetrate."


"LOVE LOVE LOVE Mirena! I was on the pill for 6 years, which killed my sex drive. And after a while started giving me migraines, which became more and more frequent with time. Now with Mirena I am migraine-free! So nice not having to worry about either migraines OR taking a pill everyday since I am a busy medical student working crazy hours in the hospital. I knew it was time to switch and I'm so glad I did!"


"Better than any other birth control I've tried! Definite breast tenderness, but to balance that I've went up a cup size. The first month I had mild nausea. On my second month now and no side effects, besides possibly canker sores....I've had one the past two weeks as soon as one started healing another showed up. Since this is unusual I think its possible the two are related. Overall worth it to avoid getting pregnant!"


"I was on Gildess and it was good for the most part (experienced extremely large breasts and they are already too big to begin with!) and then the pharmacy switched to Blisovi and it made everything worse!! Even larger breasts, extreme tenderness, and so much cramping and pain! Seriously, it's like I'm not even on a pill when Aunt Flo comes around. I can't wait to switch this pill!! But it does prevent pregnancy (I'm hoping) so I'm giving it 3 stars."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"My appointment was at 0900 this morning.  I took 1 dose of Moviprep at 1700 last night and, thereafter, 1.5 litres of water over the course of the evening.  The taste is not great but I divided the solution into 3 glasses and committed to finish each glass in one session.  To my surprise, I finished all of it in 10 mins.  It took about 1 hour to get things moving and after 4 hours, it stopped taking effect.  The next dose was taken at 0500 on the day of the appointment (today).  Same level of commitment saw it consumed rapidly and it seemed to take effect almost immediately.  Two hours later, my bowel was emitting a clear yellow, odourless liquid and within 3 hours, I had dried up.  The consultant commented on how clean my bowel was!!"


"For the first month and a half I was extremely hungry and gained weight, although I did not realize it and just blamed it on the pill. I was also very tired. Then the hunger pains went away and I started to gain my energy back so I naturally lost weight. The Acne started to go away but now almost finished with the third pack I am having a flare up. It is probably normal and I just need to give it some more time. Overall, I am very happy with this pill and I have been on a few."


"I have chronic pain issues and have for years. I am on oxycoton & oxycodone. I have dealt with drug induced constipation for years. I will NOT ever take another dose of this medicine. It's been several hours since I took my first dose and I was surprised that I had a bowel movement within an hour. Regular which was nice for once, then had to go again right away.. and again.. and again, and things got softer, then went to liquid. I went to bed around 1am and was awoken with an urgency to go to the bathroom only to find that I had "wet" the bed by the bowel leaking while I slept for ONE hour. My bed was soaked, I was soaked. Not only was I humiliated like a child would be, but the diarrhea isn't stopping! From what I read best is yet to come!!"


"I wish I had read these reviews before trying Monistat-1. Like everyone, I normally use the 3-day or 7-day treatment but thought I'd step up into more modern medicine. Within 20 minutes of insertion I was itching and burning. It's too much medicine and causes a very bad reaction.  Itching, burning, swelling, inflammation. The side effects are worse than the yeast infection itself. I'm on day 2 and still feel the reaction. The burning has subsided but I still have some itching and inflammation. What's worse is: I don't know if I still have a YI because the medicine's effects are so bad!!!! I will never use this medicine again and I'm passing this information on to every woman I know!"


"I used Synthroid (25, 50 or 75 for over more than 10 years, but had to use the original, not the generic because generic does not work in some people.  I've not been operated, but for over 2 years I've been using NatureThroid (32.5) instead which was recommended by my ND and have to say that all my side effects that Synthroid caused, had gone.  I almost lost all my hair and had terrible heart beats, headaches, joint pains, etc.  I do not have hashimoto, and really don't know if it works for people with this condition, but I tried NatureThroid and I am very happy with the results."


"Miracle drug.  My son (age 35) has had gout since he was 16.  He had gotten so bad that he literally could not get out of the house without crawling.  His quality of life was limited and I was beginning to worry about his mental state.  After 12 treatments, not only was he walking but he was able to dance with his daughter at my wedding. We're hoping for a maintenance program now. Thank You!"


"I've been on Yaz for about 3 years now. I was initially worried about it due to the bad media, but I was assured those issues had been resolved and were rare. I was put on Yaz due to my bad acne. Ever since taking it my periods have been lighter, shorter, my acne has lessened (not disappeared), and have gained no weight (at least due to the pill). I do have major migraines, but its due to an eye condition. At first I had emotional issues I believe were caused by the pill and a low sex drive. But after 3 months of use everything leveled out and was eventually better than when I started. The only problem I've ever had was when I was taken off Yaz for about 2 months due to insurance issues."


"I was prescribed this alongside clindamycin and benzoyl phosphate gel to treat mild acne on my face. It was a dosage of 100mg for 30days. Around two weeks in my acne had improved significantly but in came in another problem , Hyperpigmentation. My face is currently 3 shades darker than the rest of my body. I went back to my dermatologist and she prescribed another antibiotic and told me to discontinue the doxycycline. The discoloration has yet to improve but its only been three days since I stopped the doxycycline. Hoping and praying the hyperpigmentation will eventually fade. I wouldn't recommend doxycycline since I believe there is a better more permanent solution for the treatment of acne"


"Breast cancer I --- began & continued Aromasin for 4 years plus-shrunk tumor to be non-detectable on mammogram or high resolution scan!!

Aromosin brand no longer covered by my insurance--mandating use of generic instead.   Can only pray that the generic will work as well as brand and with the zero side effects (except for hair thinning) that brand Aromasin provided!
 A true MIRACLE drug!!"


"It has helped with minor pains extremely well, but provides little relief for major pain (herniated disc for instance)."


"It def helped with my mania,I just feel slightly off on it but it has helped a lot I take this and celexa to help with my obsessing but the risperdal made me gain weight,I went from 120-125 to 140 I'm so unhappy bout the weight gain I'm going to try to switch medications&will come back to this if I have 2,trying 2 find something better but this def helped my mania and doesn't make me real tired like seroquel and abilify or almost pass out like geodon"


"Used Voltaren on mild tendonitis of the elbow. Not only did it immediately reduce the pain, but it seems to be helping to speed up healing, when I am not using it, the pain seems to be getting progressively less severe"


"Took two of these at 8am then came on here to read reviews. Glad I did b/c it got me to drink a lot of water shortly after (3-4 500ml bottles) this is KEY to prevent cramping. I don't get backed up often but hadn't had a decent stool in about 3 days so was feeling pretty bloated. Ironically about 20 minutes after taking the pills I went and had a basically ideal poop, however didn't feel relieved and was still backed up.

Expecting the worst from the reviews I waited. No cramps just stomach gurgles and diarrhea. 12 hrs later still felt constip so I took one more pill (930pm) with another 3-4 bottles of water. Woke up (430am) with a bit of gas, mild cramps and a normal urge to go. DRINK WATER. 8/10 since I had to take another pill later."


"I was on Remicade infusion for 7 years,  I had wonderful results for 6 years, with PSA flares slowly creeping back in the 7th, but not unmanageable.  Rheumy switched me to Simponi.  After 2 injections, while my skin is still clear, the PSA is raging.  I am in terrible pain.  I spoke the my Rheumy once and she said to give it a chance.  Calling her again this morning.  The pain and exhaustion is debilitating and affecting every aspect of my life.
I asked he about Taltz and Cosentyx but she wanted to keep me on a TNF blocker.  I'm ready for change."


"This drug is a miracle drug for me! I had no side effects whatsoever, actually felt better on the drug, it made me fell stronger while using. I cleared up my HEP after having it for over 30 years, got it with an air gun before going over to Vietnam,  Geno 3A, after a failed attempt with that horrible treatment interferon! I wouldn't recommend interferon &  ribavirin,  treatment on my worst enemies! So there is hope with all the new drugs! good luck! 5.00 co pay from the drug company also!"


"I have had Nexplanon for about a month now and I've noticed I get more irritable then I used to and a lot quicker. My moods go from 0 to 60 real fast. I haven't gained any weight or had a change in appetite. I just started my period and my cramps are pretty terrible. Much worse then normal so far."


"I am 5'4' female. My starting weight was 217 lbs.  I have been using  contrave for 3 weeks now.  My current weight is 200.  I was experiencing really bad headaches for the first week and went away.  I did notice my mood is a lot better. I'm more relaxed.  I sleep all night.  Before I had insomnia.  I  had the hardest time going to sleep, so that would lead my having a drink at night or take some sort of sleep aid.  I would also wake 2-3 times a night and stay up at least an hour each time.  Now I sleep all night and have not had to drink or take any sleep aids. The only complaint I have is the constipation."


"Positive results, but what about the TREMENDOUS price increase over the past year and a half?"


"My pharmacy ended up switching my birth control and gave me this one. First of all I bled out for over a month on this birth control...not for me. I don't like getting my period a lot. I had severe cramps and was always tired. I don't recommend this birth control to any one. Causes very abnormal bleeding."


"So I'm at work on break and I had the bright idea to go to the store and buy the Monistat3 and applied it right after now I have to go into work and my vagina is itching even worse then what it was itching before I applied it. I hope this pain is worth it."


"I started taking birth control about 4 years ago and have been on a lot since then. My doctor recommended Nuvaring for its convenience and told me that most women love it and side effects were really rare.    Within a couple weeks of taking it, I started getting SEVERE breakouts on my chest and back.  It was bizarre because never in my life had breakouts on this part of my body, and I have never suffered from more than the occasional minor breakout on my face.  I even went to a dermatologist to try to treat it because I did like the Nuvaring for the most part, but the breakouts kept getting worse, to the point they went all the way down my spine and my bellybutton.  I took the ring out, and within days it cleared up."


"Hi I've been on orlistat now for 4 weeks had my first weigh in today as I didn't want to get weighed until I went bk to GP. I have lost 22lb it's fantastic so pleased.  I have a bit more to go. I have experienced some side effects loose stools lol but if u put the hard work in it pays off onwards and upwards"


"I feel good...not great...but better than before. I can't lose weight and I am on 40mg."


"Works good but my co-pay with Insurance is very expensive."


"48yr old on Testosterone Cypionate 200mg/ml 0.5cc injections every 10days for hypogonadism diagnosed back in 1999.  Tried Androderm for a month or so but broke me out in blisters and itchy. Been on this dosage for years. Problem last 3 days I feel fatigued and increased appetite, have been gaining weight yearly, now almost 50lbs but not muscle. Recent testing shows 9yrs older and 2 days after injection a result of 600 which should be much higher.  Also estrogen levels are now high. As men get older our bodies begin to convert more free testosterone to bound version DHT & into estrogen so this isn't a surprise now I've read about it.  "


"Prescribed to me for a stubborn UTI, after Bactrim didn't seem to work.
Took once a day for 10 days. Had no negative side effects, but didn't clear up my UTI either."


"Good Med! Little skeptical about helping me. I have a bad habit of changing my dosages on my own. I find 200mg to be good. I take Latuda as well which is a anti-depressant booster sort of. Appetite is normal sometimes not as bad as I thought. No vomiting but diarrhea instead. I have a bad gall bladder which needs to be removed maybe why I'm so loose on the stool. Stick with it."


"Elevated liver enzymes, nausea, and vomiting."


"I was on amlodipine for 3 weeks. I stopped taking it 8 days ago. I have had and still have weakness and tightness in my arms  and shoulders. I also have a burning in my arms. I have also had flushing. Also bad stomach problems and urinary problems. Will these problems go away?"


"This medicine only stops the physical effects of my anxiety but mentally I'm still suffering. So I'm still suffering greatly only this time no one notices, which is alright I guess. It's not for me. But everyone reacts differently so if you need to, try it out and see if it works for you. Good luck."


"Last night I was feeling very constipated before I went to bed. So much so that I couldn't get to sleep. So I went to a store near my house and purchased this enema. I gave it to myself as soon as I got home. I then sat on the toilet for the next 45 minutes. I thought after a half an hour that it might never end. Afterwards I was able to lay down and fall right to sleep."


"I am 18 years old and I got Skyla January of 2015 (it is now October) and I absolutely love it. I had never taken any kind of birth control before and my parents wanted to put me on whatever I wanted so i did some research and got an IUD. It hurt going in but it was over in seconds. Had some cramps the first few weeks but now its october i haven't had cramps in months and my periods are pretty regular. I had a long term boyfriend and he ejaculated in me every single time we've had sex (over 100) and I have never had a pregnancy scare. I trust Skyla completely! WOULD RECOMMEND!"


"If you have made the same mistake and did not google before treating like myself and the others who have posted here, you are in for some discomfort. I purchased Monistat 1-day ovule and inserted it on a Wed afternoon. I have tried the creams in the past and don't ever recall the feeling of fire burning anything close to this. It is now 10 PM and sleeping seems very unlikely. My ladyparts are worse than the first sign of my Yi, it's the worst throbbing and burning ever. Before I purchased the Monistat 1 my discomfort was at a 3, now it's a 6 and I'm praying it doesn't worsen, the cream hasn't helped at all. I'm hoping this stops soon because holy moly  I'm annoyingly uncomfortable! I highly recommend wearing a panty liner and loose panties. :("


"Diagnosed at age 27. Grandfather on one side and uncles and father on the other all have gout. Used to get an attack about once every few months and took colchicine and indicid to control. Am now nearly 42 and a few months ago started taking allopurinol. I tried this 3 or 4 times over the years but immediately had bad gout attacks so was advised to stop. New GP now, started on 100mg a day.....continued attacks, then went to 200mg a day....continued attacks....now 300mg a day and continued attacks. I had a spur and a gouty bursar removed from right elbow about 6 weeks ago and Just been on 20hr flight (both may affect)and had another bad flare up left ankle and crippled last 2days. Help!!:( I get attacks in elbows, ankles, knees and big toe"


"I have struggled for years with pain from fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I could not have normal relationships with family or friends and became a recluse.  The constant pain caused me to be deeply depressed and I often planned my suicide.  I wrote a will because I knew I could not live this life anymore.

I tried many antidepressants and took Dilaudid by the handfuls.  I start taking Cymbalta 13 days ago.  I no longer take dilaudid.  I am planning on giving up gabapentin.  My mood had gone a complete turn around.  I am able to function.  I am walking again, swimming.  I am laughing and for the first time in 15 years I feel Hope!"


"I actually really enjoyed taking Microgestin! I was on Loestrin for about 7 years when my insurance stopped covering it so I had to switch, I went thru gildess, Yasmin, Yaz etc. hated them all until I got on Microgestin. I never really had any side effects, no cramping, no break through bleeding. I did have some very mild weight gain & anxiety throughout the time I was taking the pill but I don't attribute it Microgestin. The one thing I will say is that once I started this pill, I stopped having periods which can be a bit unsettling for some women who like that reassurance, so just thought I'd put that out there. For me - as someone who had very heavy and painful periods in the past - not having periods was a godsend."


"I recently got horrible cystic acne on my back out of nowhere so I went to a dermatologist and was prescribed Solodyn along with Evoclin Foam cleansing cloths. After about 2 weeks of taking Solodyn I experienced extreme stomach pain and frequent trips to the bathroom. I lost about 8 lbs. After a couple more weeks the stomach pain went away and my back cleared up completely by the end of the pills. However, after stopping it, my face started to break out with little bumps on my forehead and my face was perfect beforehand. I dont know if this is due to stopping Solodyn."


"I am 40 years old and suffering with hot flushes and menopouse related symptoms. Only I can say Angeliq is great! I an a normal human being now."


"I love the NuvaRing. I started on after my son was born 6 years ago. Its easy to use, gentle to put in and remove, doesn't move at all while in there, and I never ever feel it during sex. After I started using it for about 3 years straight, I came off for 2 years as my Fiance was out of the country. I just started back June 2013, and love it even the more now. It doesn't decrease my sex drive, and although I am newly married, I have to admit my sexual desire has increased. With every birth control there are bouts of Sadness and anxiousness, but you distract yourself by watching great movies and eating popcorn, not tons of goodies which probably increases weight gain. I have never attributed weight gain the the Nuva Ring, but my own diet."


"I was having quite a bit of stress that was job related. I was put on 10mg a day and this dose works great for me. I experienced yawning, more frequent urination and dry mouth in the beginning. I cannot say enough about this medicine. It has helped me immensely with very few side effects. I have had some difficulty reaching orgasm but do not have any issues with libido. I feel anyone dealing with depression/anxiety should give this medicine a shot. I myself read the reviews and was so optimistic that it would do wonders for me like it did for many others after I had done my homework. I consider this to be a miracle."


"I have Myasthenia Gravis. Normally well controlled. An infusion of sotalol immediately set off a Myasthenic crisis. It also counteracted almost everything I was taking. Heart rate went to 40 and leveled off at 46. BP went to 226/120. Diaphragm was paralyzed, Thirty minutes later my blood sugar went to 226. No spontaneous respirations. All this with only 1/4 dose. I had to use a BiPap for the nest several days."


"It made me more nervous than usual. It is less stimulating than Adderall IR. I decided to switch to Ritalin."


"This pill is a miracle.... I do 3 public speeches a week....with out being nervous...Try it"


"I have PCOS with mennoraghia (long heavy menstrual bleeding) I have suffered since I was 13 years old. Depo and Norinyl never worked. This is the only birth control that has worked for my condition. I gained117 lbs on depo and 73 on Norinyl I haven't gained an ounce on Sprintec. I am very pleased with Sprintec!"


"Poison ivy: I've been using the clobetasol gel for canker sores on my mouth for years!  I put some on as soon as one starts to develop and after a couple of applications (especially before bed) they do not develop.  All of my family and friends that get canker sores also use it with the same success that I have!"


"I'm on alot of various meds. I normally take my Greens from "It Works" to get 12 servings of fruits and veggies, 32 herbs, vitamins and superfoods. However I have the Worst case of Fibro. So if I'm having a bad flare up for a few days, I only eat once and it's pasta. This combined with all of my meds totally backs me up! I've tried suppositories once and did NOT like it! I've used Dulolax in the past and loved the results that I received. So since I needed some relief so I can get back to normal, I took the 3 pill maximum with a full glass of water. It worked beautifully! I was holding onto 3 lbs of fecal matter! NO cramps with plenty of water! "


"Horrible experience!!!! Had the mirena for 10 months with longer than normal periods. I had bleeding every month for close to 2 weeks each month. Finally decided to have my gyno remove it. It's been out for a week and half and I have been bleeding for 7 days. This is not normal bleeding. Very heavy bleeding with large clots. Some almost the size of a golfball. I've read a lot of forums from people and this has happened to ALOT of people. This is something that nobody warns you about. Please do your research before you choose this drug. It's not worth it!"


"I have taken Topamax for the last 8 months as a mood stabilizer. It has worked great, not only has it helped with my moods, but it also helped me lose more than 30 lbs without struggling to lose it. It was easy and great. I am happy again and I don't feel like I want to chew off everyone's head when I start to get irritable or around "that time of month". It's been a life saver."


"Especially good for helping you stay asleep!  The problem is that I slept 12 hours straight and most of the next day.  I didn't really have an issue staying asleep before- my issue is more with relaxing/ going to sleep at appropriate times.  So, if you have a lot of trouble staying asleep, this definitely works.  No terrible side effects, was just very sleepy.  If you really need the sleep, go for it!"


"Nine months on Gileyna. I am thrilled that I do not have to take a daily Copaxone injection. No side effects, no relapse, no indication that it does anything. I guess that means it is doing its job. All of the DMDs are expensive!"


"Longer acting steroid option.
Gained weight and anxiety."


"I had been on Yaz for close to a year and was using the Bayer card program to get my refills for $25. With the intro of Beyaz into the market, Bayer no longer offers the discounted price for Yaz, so my OBGYN switched me over so I could continue to use my savings card. Since Beyaz is the EXACT same as Yaz, just with folate, I expected to feel no different. SO WRONG! I am SO moody on Beyaz, fine one day and insane the next, crying for no reason, terrible all day headaches, and breaking out. I was NEVER like that on Yaz! Luckily my pharmacy has kept both prescriptions active so I can switch back to Yaz and just buy the generic. I miss paying $25 but I will pay $59 to be sane."


"I received my 1st shot a week after giving birth in 2015, I bled the entire 1st month then it stopped completely. So overall I loved being on the shot, I am very petite so I enjoyed the little weight gain, BUT it did decrease my sex drive. I also began having slight headaches maybe once a month, which caused me to finally switch birth controls after 2 years. But I did love the shot overall an I recommend it, especially if you're practicing abstinence!"


"I have a hard time staying asleep.  This drug has worked wonders. I sleep through the night and no hangover effects like I experienced with Ambien.  I wake up refreshed and ready to start a new day."


"I have been on DepoProvra for about 10 years on and off. Too long according to my new OBGYN, and he suggested Mirena since I am not ready to cut the ties just in case I decide to have children in the future lol. I have a 13 and 10 year old lol.... But after insertion I had cramping and mild bleeding for 2 days. I have not had any bleeding since then. It has been almost a month! The side effects I am experiencing are breast tenderness, and increased libido. The shot killed that lol. I love it so far and I am very happy."


"Simply put, it works.  I had taken tetracyclene previously for years, along with Metrogel, with limited results.  As soon as I started with Oracea (prescribed by dermatologist) my rosacea symptoms disappeared.  The downside of course is the cost.  I have an HSA so it's all out of pocket until my deductible is met; but I pay because it's worth it.  I've also found the generic is only slightly less expensive but the good there is it works just the same as Oracea there have been no differences in effectiveness.  On a somewhat different note, I went in for an eye exam and my opthmologist told me Oracea was a ripoff and a marketing gimmick and all I had to do was take a low dose of doxy twice a day with the same effect for a fraction of the cost."


"Helped with my recovery from being in Iraq."


"This stuff is magical, it works really really well. Although my skin dried out and went red occasionally, this was solved with a bit of E45 moisturiser in the morning after my Duac at night. WARNING: DO NOT GET IN EYES OR ANY OTHER MUCUS MEMBRANES(lips, mouth etc.) I didn't take any notice and put it NEAR my eyes (just on the bags underneath the eye) and it dried out my eyes the next morning, having eye drops for 3 days. But, if the instructions are followed correctly, Duac is great."


"Severely inflamed Achilles tendons, rotator cuffs issues plus slipped disc pain in the neck. The past 3.5 years my life has been about pain all over. No-one would listen. Went to see a podiatrist and he prescribed Cymbalta 60mg. Felt much better the first day. However had 2 days on being constipated. Now, I can walk without pain. My whole body is more relaxed and I teamed the Cymbalta with an anti-inflammatory vitamin mix. I was recently told by my chiropractor that my body is very hyposensitive and swollen. So yes feeling much relieved."


"My Dr. has me on an Opiod for severe spinal pain, which has caused severe constipation!  So he prescribed Amitiza, 24 mcg 2x's a day, well now I am not sure I will continue taking it.  When I first began taking Amitiza it worked great, so my Dr. wrote up a script for it.  Well, now it hardly works at all!  Constipation is nearly a daily situation for me and a painful one at that, I am miserable and frustrated!  It has also messed up my appetite, I can barely eat food and when I do, it makes me nauseated and my tummy hurts as well.  I am sick to my stomach if I eat and if I don't eat.  I feel sick from an overload of toxin build up (maybe I am imaging that a bit)!  It is pretty messed up when you fear eating and fear not eating!?"


"I am not only trying to help my depression but I'm trying to find something to help my ADHD symptoms. ... my psychiatrist said this would help as a non stimulant because I am really sketchy about trying adderall or something similar.   Well my experience with Venlafaxine was that I developed twitches! Involuntary twitching is incredibly annoying. ... so back to fluoxetine.  I did feel more focused... but the twitching is not tolerable enough for me"


"I was not looking forward to doing the Prep.  I read most of the other reviews and they gave me some great tips.  After mixing the Suprep with the water, I poured it into 3 small glasses and started by holding my nose and sipping the straw.  Cold Water is a must and fresh Lemon slices to bite on after each drink through a large straw worked great!!  I also had some flat Ginger Ale that I would take a sip and swish around my mouth and then spit out.  That seemed to help with taking the next small glass until finished!!  I didn't eat much solids for 3 days so I had a very easy ending!!!   I have one more bottle to take and I'm hoping it goes as well as just now.  It only took about 15 minute for it to work and all done within 1 1/2 hrs."


"What's worse than having to take this stuff?  Having to take the second dose!!!!  I got 3/4 of the second dose down before intense gagging.  NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!  The taste is like disgusting grape cough medicine.  After starving all day, the overfull feeling of this plus the extra water you have to drink in the hour is terrible."


"I only took this pill for 5 days and it ranked up there to be the worst five days ever. I started taking this after 9 months of no birth control pill, but my periods and cramps were so bad I decided to go back on the pill. My doctor decided to switch brands because with the last pill I was on I had a lot of breakthrough bleeding. So I started Blisovi and within 24 hours I was moody, irrational and not feeling like myself. As the week continued I could not get control of my emotions, crying was constant and I began to feel very depressed. I called my doctor and she said to stop taking it immediately. Never again! I felt like I was possessed!"


"Additional Comments about IMPLANON: I decided on implanon because my periods were so painful I couldn't walk around without a hot water bottle pressed to my stomach and had constant chunks bigger than sandwich pickles. For a week, sometimes two I would be house and bed ridden which was effecting my working life. I have had a dry mouth since a couple of days after the implant and the first week I did have some dryness downstairs but I added extra things like nuts to my regular diet to promote vitamin E and oils to my skin and body. With the extreme bleeding side effects I think anyone who gets implanon just so they don't forget the pill and complains is just ridiculous. With all the complications you need to be aware of what you are gambling. I had 4 periods in 6 weeks previous to getting the implant put in so I felt like I had nothing to lose by gambling on the hopes that implanon would maybe fix or regulate my already wacky and heavy painful cycle. There are plenty of other forms of contraception for those who cannot deal with the idea that it effects everyone differently and you don't just get what you want from it. It's not a present its a means to an end for those who are willing to risk the chance of those side effects."


"Have had great blood pressure readings ever since I started taking Enalapril.  However, I have had severe coughing.  I may need to find another blood pressure med.  My coughing interrupts my sleeping and causes me to vomit on occasion.  Nobody can stand to be around me!"


"I absolutely LOVE this birth control. After having one baby, and always forgetting the pill, I decided I needed to get on something that I didn't have to remember everyday. I didn't want an IUD, because I didn't feel like getting anything inside. I decided to get this. Boy am I happy! I haven't had any weight gain, no unusual mood swings, and the best periods I've ever had in my life! Barely anything, I don't even have to use tampons. I understand all women are different, but I advise someone that's looking for simplicity, and maybe someone that is very forgetful, to try this out. Insertion is virtually painless, might as well give it a try."


"very helpful for me. Some anxiety the first couple of months but none now. I havent breathed this well in years and have the results to prove it."


"I ended up in the ER with diverticulitis and was given Cipro and Flagyl. Yes the taste is bitter and things don't taste so good. However, despite the taste, I have gotten significantly better with the two medicines and that is the main thing for me. As with any medicines some of us will experience different side effects if any, but if this is one of them, this is very minor. I did not experience the nausea or a lot of other ones I read about with these medicines."


"IBS?    DO NOT TAKE should be the warning on this label.   6 hours after you take it.   Cramps...diarrhea...nausea.  Not worth it!"


"Used it to combat Prostate infection.  Did nothing to help."


"My ENT physician has put me on this antibiotic for Infectious mononucleosis (mono or glandular fever), at first I thought that I was just going to die. On top of the Mono symptoms, the Cleocin made me nauseous, stomach swelled. Doctor suggested taking medication with a bit of soft drink, and it did work. After 7 days of this I would do it again. I have had Mono twice before, and no not from kissing. I have a low immune system, I wish I had this with the other bouts of illness."


"I have used Avonex for about a month now, to treat my MS.  I have a mild case, and symptoms are not too severe.

I appreciate the once-a-week injection (hate needles) but am feeling the side effects.  I use the Tylenol PM when I take the injections and that does seem to help.  We take the injections on Thursday, and I am able to work from home on Fridays.  I am very tired, but usually better by Saturday.  I definitely recommend this based on the once-a-week injection vs the daily or every-other day injection of the other choices for MS. Good Luck."


"At first, I didn't have any problems with this. No nausea, no weight gain, there wasn't really a change in the amount of acne I had. I was told it would help reduce cramps and amount of blood during my period, but it actually did the exact opposite. Cramps were horrible, my stomach was quite swollen, and the length of my period was increased and the blood flow was horribly heavy. I was told it could happen on occasion, but it was rare, so it's a bit unfortunate I had that reaction to it. At least it prevented pregnancy."


"I was prescribed this medication after years of IBS-D.  I was in the restroom all the time, sometimes 22 times a day.  All my tests colon oscopy, MRI, CAT, ultra sound all clear.  I was excited there was something might actually give me my life back.  Day 1 I didn't see a difference just bad cramps, Day 2 about a 25% difference in bathroom trips but still cramps, Day 3 cramps and pain in right side off and on, Day 4 Severe Pain in right side and vomiting. Stopped taking immediately and contacted Doctor.  Medication caused severe spasms in my gallbladder, It's now been 7 days still in extreme pain and waiting for referral for ultrasound to see if I need my Gallbladder removed.  What I thought would give me my life back made everything worse."


"My son started this at 20 months old

It kept his asthma completely under control all winter (virus induced)

He has grown over half a foot in the past 9 months so it does not stop growth. I think that other lady's kid just hadn't hit puberty"


"I had my Nexplanon put in February of 2013. I had normal periods Feb-April and then nothing until July. Then it lasted about 10 days, which is long for me. I didn't have a period or any spotting at all until now in March 2014. It's been about a week now so I'm curious to see how long it will last. I've gained about 5-8 pounds but it could be other environmental factors. My acne has flared up during this period but I've never had great skin and it's not worse than normal. I like Nexplanon quite a bit, the rod never bothers me and it's very convenient to not have to take a pill."


"I had been on generic trileptal for years it worked great for mood stabilization . No weight gain or major side effects until I received a different generic version then my iodine levels were terribly low and I lost a ton of weight and felt awful . My dermatologist discovered this because my primary care Dr ran tests and couldn't figure this out. Years later I'm back on trileptal 900mg , my mood is great yet now I'm having hair loss . My hair is thin all ready . I'm done with this medicine. It's unfortunate because it works well for moods . Hair loss will defiantly have me depressed .  Not worth it."


"Started having symptoms of a yeast infection 2 nights ago. Woke up yesterday with full blown symptoms. Itching, discharge, irritation. Used the monistat 1 at about 5 p.m. Less than 24 hours later no symptoms. Love this stuff and highly recommend it. Had a little abdominal pain after insertion but only for a few minutes. Just a little pink discharge after too but thats totally gone. Will definitely use again if needed."


"This medicine has changed my life! I feel like I am living life again instead of surviving. I used to wake up every day fearful of everything. It was so bad that I had to take 6 weeks off work. This medicine has changed me. I wake up every morning happy and very energized. I started taking this medicine in April of 2017 and its the best decision I have ever made. I was always skeptical of taking medicine but I am so glad I decided to."


"This product is AMAZING !! I am a 13 year old and I have been sweating a lot since 6th grade. I told my mom a week ago that I cant take sweating anymore. So embarrassing in school. No one really notices me sweating because I would always wear a jacket even in the summer time! So I called my doctor and she told me she would prescribe Hypercare. Well I used it the first night and wow the nest morning I didn't sweat a bit. I can wear any color now but every night I put it on it burns or itches but mostly itches. It's worth it trust me. So thank you so much Hypercare and yes I do recommend it to anybody who sweats a lot."


"Helps my depression very well. Keeps me leveled out. Calms me down."


"For everyone that's bleeding alot... Try using Nuvaring with the Nexplanon! That was my only complaint but now I love it and am going to continue using both birth controls."


"I've been taking it for a while now, and my blood pressure has dropped from 180/100 to an average of 138/70.  I haven't lost a lot of weight (some, but not a lot) and my diet wasn't particularly unhealthy to begin with.  (My BP trouble is about 80% genetic, 20% the extra weight I carry) I'm pretty sure it's the Avalide, so this is good stuff.  I wish it were cheaper though; I don't have insurance, and I'm paying $100/month for it. "


"No side effects. Takes a little to ease the pain in right leg and back. Do not eat at the same time you take pill, it has a bitter taste."


"Okay so I started taking Paxil a few months ago for anxiety, only 10mg. For the first little bit it was weird, my body felt different and I couldn't eat much, my bowel movements became very irregular. I felt like it was maybe working. I became very tired (I've always been a late sleeper) but it was hard to get out of bed, my thoughts were constantly negative, especially when I would be alone or driving alone. I had a constant headache i didn't want to do anything. I worked out a little bit in the duration but not much. I Couldn't decide whether I should stop or take more and I stopped. It's been about 2 weeks now and I'm starting to feel better and more positive, but still anxious"


"I was terrified to do it but couldn't stand running to the bathroom twice per hour anymore. My injections wereworst case scenario as I owed out the lidocaine. Out of 20 injections I didn't feel 10 at all. The other 10 hurt but it was fast and 48 hours later my life had changed. I highly recommend this but do research on your urologist. How many does he/she do? What's the rate of needing a straight cath post procedure? What's his/her failure rate? Find someone good and then do it of nothing else worked. Life changing!"
