"This is the 2nd time using this medicine. The 1st time it rid me of the severe depressive cycle I was in, but the mania crept back in very slowly so I didn't notice it until it was too late. And by late, I mean "all over the place" so I stopped taking it. This time around I am taking it coupled with Lamictal. The cycles are normalizing now after just over 2 months. Want to add that I put myself on a sleeping schedule and use medicine if I need it after 20 minutes of no sleep. This sleep program has helped tremendously."


"I've taken dulcolax before and didn't have a bad experience so I wasn't prepared for what was to come. I was slightly constipated and had to call into work yesterday due to really painful cramps so last night I took ONE dulcolax around 10pm, had a midnight snack (easy mac) and then fell asleep. I don't even remember getting to the toilet but all of a sudden I was on the toilet and it was like a tap  turned on full and cringing in pain  from my stomach, I was so weak, dizzy, sweaty, once the diarrhea would stop I'd tumble off the toilet onto the floor and lay in the fetal position crying. Thank God for my boyfriend he got me a water and a plastic bin so I could poo and vomit at the same time. It was miserable. It's 1130a now and I'm still having cramps"


"Took this medicine along with Uroxatral for slow stream and urinary frequency, both secondary to radiation cystitis caused by brachytherapy.  Vesicare caused slight mouth dryness at 5mg, severe mouth dryness and bad taste at 10mg.  "


"Been taking this medicine for 10 months. I have a sulfide allergy. This is the only medication that we have tried that keeps my blood pressure in check and does not cause a reaction."


"Emergency Use  in Burns
      One evening my wife asked my 12yr old to fix her a cup of coffee.  The Daughter went to the kitchen and fixed a boiling cup of coffee.   Bringing it up stairs the cup broke and the boiling coffee went down her chest.  She screamed we sprayed her chest at once, there was very little blistering and within 4-5 days all was healed."


"I have been on Straterra for about two months.  It certainly has a subtle affect that creeps up on you. It is not a stimulant so does not have that quick hit affect.  While taking it I feel a little dopey... but if I have been on it for a while and then lower the dose to one every two days. I can really feel the difference in my performance and focus.

I went through a stressful experience which brought on some mania.  Stay off this medicine if you go through a similar experience.  It heightens panic and intensifies anxiety.

Other then that seems to be good."


"I have been going through some really tough times, job loss and a terminally ill partner and I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety as a result.  My Dr prescribed Zoloft.  If anything Zoloft made things worse, I tried sticking it out for three months but the ongoing nausea, increased anxiety, jaw clenching, restless legs and insomnia were just too much to cope with along with everything else.  It also numbed me and made me very indifferent to things.  To cut a long story short I stopped after three months and have changed to Citalopram.  Citalopram has lifted my mood without all of the side effects I experienced on Zoloft."


"First time I was prescribed quetiapine, when I was going through a really bad period (life problems, depression), it did not help me a thing. Was put on sleeping meds to get through the toughest time.
My doc returned me on it now much later when I started having problems to sleep a normal night, instead it was like 2-3-4 hours. Now the dose is 100-200, it ensures I can sleep 8-10 hours and return to sleep if woken up."


"Okay, I took this med for 4 months for situational anxiety, no one tells you what it is like to come off this drug when you go on.  I  was unable to research this med, too ill. The LONGEST you are supposed to use this drug is 3 WEEKS, unless you have GAD or the similar.  NEVER STOP THIS DRUG COLD TURKEY, you will suffer from months to years.  PLEASE read about PAWS and alprazolam on any search engine.  Protracted Acute Withdrawal Syndrome.  People commit suicide due to the severity of the effects of this.  Even tapering off slowly will be the hardest thing you will ever have to do in your life, and at some point, you WILL have to come off of it. I never abused, never took extra, it was hell!!! 4+ months bedridden in agony from withdrawal!"


"I have been on Orsythia for a little over a year now and my experience has not been good. Although I will say, this birth control pill regulated my periods with little to no menstrual pain as well as prevented pregnancy. However, the side effects were awful! I had very severe mood swings and anxiety attacks. Anxiety is nothing new to me but this medication made it so much worse. I am ALWAYS tired, no matter how much I sleep. The worst part for me was the headaches, I would get them daily and the pain was unbearable. Some headaches would last days and interfere with my sleep. I thought there was a more serious issue due to the intensity but everything checked out fine, it was the medication. I would not recommend this medication."


"I got bucked off my horse on sat and had to go to the ER I can barely move and they gave me this for pain and I haven't had one once of relief from pain all it does is make me sleepy"


"I have been taking this medicine for 2 weeks now and I feel much better.  I was extremely depressed and unmotivated.  I tried taking Lexapro and the sexual side effects were severe and the benefits were not worth the trade off so I stopped taking it.  My psychologist recommended Wellbutrin as an alternative and I am SO glad that I tried it.  I am more focused in school, exercising, and have an overall more positive attitude.  The only problem that I have experienced is that I have a very hard time falling asleep and staying asleep at night.  It is VERY annoying, but worth it to me. No sexual side effects and no weight gain."


"I've been on it for almost 6 months now and hate it! Absolutely lowered my sex drive and sex was painful because of vaginal dryness. The first three months I'd have CRAZY mood swings but levelled out, and my breast size definitely increased. It did help with cramps and period pain but it had such an impact on my sex drive I cannot stand it. Switching soon!"


"First off this medication has been a life saver for me. I have suffered from IBS-D since I was a teenager and I found a support group that has helped me through it. I was given Linzess and ya the first 2 weeks can be bad, but I continued to take it and I have felt so much better. i also was instructed to take a really good multivitiman to help make sure I had all of my nutrients needed through the day and if you can work out that is what is helping me to cope. I really hope this helps some of you out there and I will continue to pray for a cure."


"I'm a 39 y.o. male who had a job for 8 years that had it's ups and downs but pretty low with stress levels. I quit and got a new job for the new challenges and higher pay. With that, came more stress than I bargained for along with the stress of the rather long commute in horrible traffic. Long story short, I'm on Zoloft now for a week and most of the symptoms have gone. I'm feeling far more emotionally leveled and my thoughts are far more clear. I don't feel like a zombie either. I'm feeling less affected by life or issues. It will be interesting to see how I feel in about a month when it's fully working. So far, so good."


"Read the product Warnings.  If you have an auto-immune disease pay attention to side effects, specifically a flu-like feeling at 3 weeks after starting Chantix, then followed by mouth ulcers.  Get immediate medical attention if these appear.  On day 21-22 I felt terrible, just like I had the flu.  On day 24 I noticed several Aphthous Ulcers (something I had never had before).  These progressed to a level that I had to go to the ER on day 26.  On day 25 I discontinued Chantix and on day 38 I am still being treated for this. This response has been repeatedly associated with Chantix and some other drugs as well.  Pay attention to side effects and any unusual symptoms."


"I've been smoking for 50 years and was up to 2.5 packs a day, it was time to try to do something about trying to stop or slow down. I looked at chantix on the internet and the side effects scared me. I talked to a few people and they said it worked to help them cut down but they didn't stay on it because they had nightmares. I decided I would give a try so called doctor and received a prescription. Followed directions and it was probably one of the best things I did in my life. After one month I stopped smoking  completely and have not had one in 6 months. I staying on chantix for 3 months never had any side effects for myself. I just want to say thank you for chantix you probably gave me a longer life and I feel so much better."


"I was prescribed 50mg of this drug to overcome my depression and anxiety due to a stressful situation in my life. I lasted 4 days on this drug. I had brain fog, headaches, dizziness and heightened anxiety, which made me feel worse. The doctor did warn me that it can make side effects worse for 4-6 weeks, then you gradually start to feel better. He asked me to persevere with it, but as a mother of 2 young kids, I couldn't handle the side effects. I was literally bed ridden. I had to ask my mother to help me with the kids, as the side effects were too much. I called my doctor and relayed the symptoms to him and was advised to discontinue the drug, if I felt it was too much. It took 2 days for the side effects to wear off."


"USE IT OR LOOSE IT. Was prescribed Esctrace cream for dryness & painful sex. once a day for 2/weeks, then twice a week. 10 days and dramatic improvement. Here is the deal; waiting for 2 weeks before attempting sex. After 5 days I was able to do it with no problem. Not really enjoyable, but not painful at all.  Best time was first  in morning for a couple of minutes  But if morning not an option, then a couple of minutes at night. but before inserting the cream so you don't accidentally take it all out."


"I use 100mg once a day to control anxiety. It works well. People at work have noticed I am much calmer at work."


"Started on 10mg of Viibryd and have been taking it for over 6 weeks.
First week I experienced being "spacey", diarrhea and no appetite.  After the first week, I started to feel better and have improved quite a bit.  Anxiety is gone but still have "anger" issues, although not as bad prior to Viibryd.
Asking the doctor to up the dosage to 20mg to possible help with anger issues.
Otherwise, Viibryd is about the best anti-depressant I've ever taken.  Much better than Wellbutrin/Zoloft/Prozac/Celexa/etc."


"My experience has been very positive: a complete elimination of sleep attacks, at least until the medication wears off (I take it at about 7 AM and usually around 2-3 PM I can tell it's worn off). When I first began the medication, I experienced fairly severe insomnia at night for a few days and suffered from headaches (generally dull, low-grade ones) for a couple of weeks. Those problems have long since ended and I have no trouble falling asleep at night.

My doctor suggested not taking the medication on weekends, when I do not have to work, which seems to have helped prevent it from losing any effectiveness. I am fortunate enough to have had no trouble getting my insurance to pay for Nuvigil. My cost is $27 for a 3 month supply by mail."


"I've been taking lutera for a couple of years now. I recently stopped taking it this month (ran out of refills and need to see the doc again) and regret it to the fullest. I am going through really painful cramps at the moment, which I haven't had for years!!!!!! The only problem I have with this particular birth control pill is that you cannot smoke while taking it. This makes me wonder what exactly is in this one that separates from the other birth control pills that you can smoke with? Either way, because of the deadly combination of smoking and taking these pills, I've stopped smoking. I am 24 now, 5'1, 110 LBs"


"Has made me a very irritable person. Also causes weight gain."


"I have been struggling with postnatal depression for nine months; really, for the last 2.5 years as I had two babies 19 months apart. I was placed on Wellbutrin which helped with the physical effects but did not improve mood, I was then placed on Lexapro, then Prozac, then Zoloft and although some did improve my mood they all made me so tired I couldn't stay awake. They also made me feel disconnected and like I was observing emotions instead of feeling them. I was cold. Finally my doctor gave me Abilify to use with the Wellbutrin and it has completely changed me whole aspect. I feel like myself, for the first in years. I am awake, working hard, engaged, focused... it's my miracle! Even if it is $800 a month!"


"I started Suboxone 2 months ago.  Prior to this I had been abusing painkillers for over ten years, and have been to jail about 5 times over fake prescriptions.  Suboxone is a miracle.  I don't think about getting high anymore, period.  I take two 8mg's a day and I'm happy at that dose.  The only side effects I have are a little constipation and increased sweating.
This is how I feel about taking a drug like Suboxone to treat addiction:  I believe that opioid dependence is a medical disease, and that therefore it will respond to the right medication.  I think an opioid-dependent person using Suboxone is no different than a diabetic person using insulin.  I can't imagine why I wouldn't just take Suboxone the rest of my life."


"Works great, able to stay awake at work and able to sleep during the day."


"I want to start off my review by stating that everyone is different; so what worked for me may not work for you. With that said, I was suffering from severe MDD, anxiety, OCD, border lining on psychosis after I had my son last summer. I was so miserable for his first year of life, and then I was finally put on Pristiq after trying about 10 other anti-depressants/anxiety meds. I seriously feel like a normal person again. I can enjoy my family and friends, and am able to maintain my relationships with them. This has been a literal life saver for me, and because of this, I don't mind that my insurance doesn't cover it."


"This is my first month taking it and is my first birth control ever. So far, I love it. My periods are MUCH lighter, and the cramps aren't as bad as they used to be. My face doesn't brake out as much anymore, but I brake out everywhere else. That never happened to me before. Other than that, the birth control is great."


"I was on this medicine for a year and it worked very well. But I now feel I need a higher dose."


"I just started Arthotec 75 mg two days ago. I can't believe that after 2 pills I was feeling no pain. My legs were working, I could walk normally, my spine wasn't hurting and my feet were pain free. This is a new life for me. I have been in constant pain for a long time and needed injections in my feet and spine to cope. I am ready to tell the world how well this is working for me."


"I really loved the NUVARING...the only side effect that I had experience was slight nausea at the beginning. Other than that it goes away and I'm a HAPPY, CARE-FREE & COVERED woman."


"I have tried every triptan and Relpax is the only one that works for me!  I am a chronic migraneur so I also take daily preventatives."


"I tried Chantix twice, two years ago. The first time, I stopped smoking in week 2, but began smoking again about two months after I stopped taking Chantix. The second time I stopped smoking for nearly 6 months after finishing the prescription. I felt great about that, and was very angry at myself for taking up smoking again. Hate to make excuses, but I was having a really tough time, I lost my job and became very ill (unrelated to smoking). That was two years ago. I am going to try Chantix again. Will ask my doctor for a Rx tomorrow. I did not experience any side effects."


"Estrace was prescribed for urinary urgency and has worked very well indeed."


"This is HORRIBLE!! I have had the WORST anxiety than ever before and I haven't stopped bleeding for 2 weeks...(I only got this shot 3 weeks ago thinking it would be good)  Would not recommend this to anyone..."


"I have suffered for three years, at my whits end I too did my own research and after two weeks I am pain free.  The bad attacks stopped instantly and the minor ones subsided after about day 7.  I feel like I have my life back.  I was exhausted for the first week until my body adjusted...but push through people....this medicine saved my life.  I can even enjoy a glass of wine now and again!"


"I have been having a little tummy trouble the past few days and hadn't had a BM and it was starting to become unbarably uncomfortable. I took these last night about 10pm and woke up this morning around 3-4 in excruciating pain. I was sick a dog I did finally have a BM after sitting for about 20 min almost in tears from the cramps once a went the cramps subsided but only temporarily. I have been getting on and off cramps that feel like I am being repeadidly stabbed in my lower abdomen and to the point I feel like I may vomit. Will not use this product again"


"This medicine was great for sleeping. It was the best that I ever had because I have sleeping problems. Rate it as a 10."


"Farxiga is effective.  It has helped my numbers and lost approx. 10 lbs over a year. The only problem is the excessive thirst and frequent urination.  I work and travel a lot so this really impacts my quality of life.  I would recommend this medication for someone who stays home most of the time not for someone on the go.  I will ask my dr to change my med at my next appt."


"I've use products with Hydroquinone for years. I am currently using a brand with 3%. I have a condition called Hyperpigmentation. When I bathe I slough off more skin than most people do. This product removes enough to give the impression that I have beautiful skin and I am often complimented on my skins softness and smoothness. I still have darkness under the arms but not unsightly. My knees, elbows are very dark and my hands are the darker especially the middle joint of each finger and my knuckles. All not unsightly because I use this cream. I am 60 have been mistaken for much younger. I avoid the sun."


"Ladies, please relax. It will work! I had unprotected sex on nov. 6th. Boyfriend pulled out but still wanted to be sure so I took the pill about 7 hours later. The next day I started feeling dizzy & nauseous. Few days later, I had spotting that lasted for 3 days. It was too light for it to be a period so I assumed it was "withdrawal bleeding" from the pill. My anxiety was through the roof & all I did was read these reviews, freaking myself out. But! I was in class today (Dec 10th) & it came! It was a few days late, my period was suppose to come Dec. 1st. I never been so happy to see blood! I'm 19 & definitely not ready for a baby! Good luck everyone!!!"


"Have been on this so long but recently I feel it creates nausea and stomach/abdominal pain. No matter when I take it with or without food I seem to get this reaction.  My Dr is stumped, but I cannot get past this awful "sick" feeling all the time.  When I stop taking it I do much better.  When I start again the same thing happens.  My only other prescription is for High blood pressure and is the same as I have always taken so we figure it is not that. "


"I was on birth control for over 10 years . I was switched to this brand because of heavy bleeding. I was put in the hospital for over a week after being diagnosed with pulmonary embolism due to the birth control. I was only on this pill about 6 months. Other pills I was on for years & never had this problem. Now I am unable to take birth control for the rest of my life."


"Was prescribed acetaminophen/tramadol for migraine pain after traditional migraine medicines actually worsened my pain...it really helped..a strange sort of relief though...can still feel the actual pounding but it just doesn't hurt after I take the tramadol! I am used to it now. Usually take 1 or 1/2 a pill 2 or 3 times a week...although was prescribed to take every 4 hours as needed. Oh also, I was having a problem with frequent diarrhea and that is gone now too! I get itchy skin when I go several days without them but not so much that it really bothers me."


"Pristiq is a horrible drug. Caused me to be off work for 9 months due to the side effects, I had insomia didn't sleep for 2 weeks, gave me restless leg syndrome, felt agitated, my mood was super down. I would not recommend it to anyone."


"I got the ParaGard inserted in May 2013 without thinking to read any reviews first.  The insertion was quite uncomfortable followed by very uncomfortable days.  My periods became longer, more painful, and heavier for about 2 years, but they have finally evened back out to normal.  I am 28 now and have not had children so the biggest downside is the constant paranoia of is it still there (the strings were cut too short for me to check myself).  When I am not doubting the location of it, I love it.  I enjoy the reassurance that I likely won't become a Mommy before I'm ready.  There seem to be varying experiences here, so if you choose to try it, give it time for things to return to normal unless the side effects are clearly too severe."


"1 week on Savella, so far side effects aren't bad except if you like to sleep you may as well kiss that goodbye for a while. Relief of pain is getting better with each day. Going to give it a chance and see how it goes."


"Have had classic migraine (with and without aura) since I was 8 or 9 years old. 30 years of regular intense pain. They increased until I was having 8 major migraines a month with about 20 days pain each month. I have been on Botox injections (31 every 3 months in forehead, scalp and shoulders) and had only one 'big' migraine in the 3 month cycle! Probably down to 5 days of noticeable pain a month I.e need to lie down or sleep. Has been amazing for my migraines. I guess it doesn't work for everyone, but it's worth discussing with your neurologist."


"I have tried a lot of different anti- anxiety meds and Valium is the only one that actually works for me and I don't get nasty side effects with."


"First month on this I had awful cramps, following I was very moody and I'm normally very positive. Constantly fatigued and stressed. Gained a lot of weight on my stomach and hips, which pissed me off a lot more since I'm working out regularly and eating how I normally do, pretty healthily. Breasts grew bigger. Constantly feel bloated and stomach Area feels sensitive, but at the same time always hungry. I've decided to stop taking it, and am going to search for another option. Simply not worth all the trouble."


"I took this for a month previously in the year to get rid of my acne and it improved my skin. I started taking it again 7 months later with permission from the doctor and I experienced horrible side effects including severe diarrhea, and sores and itching on the scalp. I read that antibiotics can cause a yeast infection and I'm pretty sure that's what I have."


"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."


"Epiduo has been a miracle for me! I have tried EVERYTHING with little to no success until now. No drying, no tightness, no burning, just results. Everyone's skin is different & reacts to products differently, you won't know if it will work for you unless you try it. Personally very happy"


"I am a middle aged man, who has had anxiety my whole life. In addition, I have a very stressful job. About three years ago, my wife convinced me to see a doctor. I had never taken any sort of anti-anxiety medication previously. The doctor prescribed Klonopin, but was very adamant about taking it only as needed. The prescription says 1mg, twice a day. But I only take, on average,  two pills a week, when I'm really stressed. As many people here have said, it started out great, then faded with time. Although it definitely helps; it's not pleasant. It's almost as if it makes me so sleepy, I'm too tired to be stressed. Two years ago, I would have given it a 9. I still recommend it. Other than sleepiness, I have no other adverse effects."


"I have been talking Belviq for one week and I've already lost 3lbs. The headaches lasted the days. I eat less and I walk for 30 minutes everyday."


"I had a bad reaction to the acne solution. Never had that happen after 15 years of using Clinique products.
I put a small drop on 3 different places where I had small pimples. I woke up with a rash, dry, itchy skin, pain and irritation. I'm seeking medical attention after home remedy and Benadryl didn't help it actually spread."


"Hey guys checking in again. So when I started I was 198 and now I weigh 145 !!!!
This pill is simply amazing!! I’m closer to my goal weight which is 130!
If you’ve been reading my previous reviews you’ll know everything!!! I still have the blurry vision but that’s it. And it comes and goes now. Also. I skip the pill some days, so that I can see if I can eat good without it. And I do well. Bcuz I’m a min I won’t qualify to take it anymore. So if you’re having doubts. I say DONT doubt!! Take it and watch the weight FALL!!!!
I’ll check back in when I’m off it guys :)"


"I have always been constipated (lucky if I go once a week) for as long as I remember for different reasons. I finally addressed it with my doctor. I was referred to a gastroenterologist who prescribed Trulance. They gave me some samples while my insurance approved the prescription. I did have a bout with diarrhea after a couple weeks but it quickly subsided. After a month being on the medicine, I'm actually going 2x a day. I'm still not sure how I feel about spending more time in the bathroom but I'm not bloated anymore. I do experience more gas but better than feeling like you are about to give birth."


"Ive taken many sleeping medications, Lunesta worked the best for the longest (7 months i think).  i take a break from it for a few months and take something else that doesnt work as well, then i go back to lunesta, just to give my body a break from it... all in all, good stuff. i like the taste- i know its kickin' in and im about to fall asleep!"


"I have been on this pill for about 10 months & I LOVE it ! I originally got on it for birth control & it did the job. I haven't gotten pregnant after never using protection or any other contraception . I still get my normal 3 day period but a few months I had spotting or a longer period. overall, I love ❤ it and will continue to use it until I'm ready for another child."


"This medication does not work.  I have no idea why my doctor suggested it when Viagra and Cialis was great in the past.  Even got prescribed the high dose 200's and hours after taking no effect at all.  So I took another 200 and absolutely nothing at all.  Nothing at all.  This drug only left me feeling a bit dizzy and my heart rate increased.  No libido effect at all, nothing.  Viagra kicks in within an hour and peaks in 2.  This Stendra does nothing and I want my money back from my appointment and the cost of the script!!!!!"


"Doesn't work for me."


"I get panic attacks at least once per day, and my doctor didn't want me taking Xanax on a daily basis. I've tried a few other medicines in the past, but can't handle the sexual side effects- supposedly this medicine has less of them.

My experience:
10mg per day I had zero side effects, but after a month also zero noticeable help. My doctor told me to up it to 20mg. At 20mg, I was so sick to my stomach I had to call in sick to work. Tried it one more time with the same results. So I compromised and took 15mg per day. Still little to no noticeable help- and I was always mildly nauseous (always took with a full meal). As far as sexual side effects- I never got aroused on my own, but I could orgasm, which was better than others."


"I've been on this pill for about 3 months.  In this time, I've gained some weight.  I go to the gym 5-6 times a week and am a pretty health conscious person so there is no reason for this to happen.  I've never had a problem with my skin but over the last 3 months I haven't gone a day without a pimple on my face, and my back and chest are not okay.  I feel so gross.  I do so much to take care of myself and after looking at my daily life, the only thing I can attribute these things to is my pill.  It is also the only medication I take."


"I got the implant at the beginning of October, 2015 on the last day of my period. Two weeks later I started bleeding again and have been bleeding since. Its February 2016.... My doctor gave me a prescription of Estrogen a week ago to counter act and try to stop/get the bleeding under control. I have to take it for 14 days. So far, the bleeding is way lighter, but I still have to wear a tampon or pad all the time. It's very frustrating. Some other side effects I've had are sweating really bad while I'm sleeping, having trouble sleeping or staying asleep, crying over stupid things I normally would not cry over. As for weight I've gained probably 6 pounds so far. I rated it a 9 because it is effective despite the side effects."


"I'm 19 years old. First birth control pill. The only side effects that I have experienced are that my boobs have gotten bigger (which is good) and I have experienced spotting. Don't really get my periods and my skin really cleared"


"Was prescribed Geodon for mania in Bipolar.  Cannot recommend this drug.  I tried to go back to work after being in the hospital for 2 weeks.  Often, I would fall asleep even while typing or working.  This made other activities dangerous and I quickly met with doctor to stop taking this.  I can see this as being a short term fix to mania, but ongoing use of this drug is dangerous.  It could make you have an accident or worse if driving."


"I have severe anxiety and, as a result, I have constant intrusive thoughts, mainly as I try to sleep. I take anywhere from 50-100 mg every night with absolutely no side effects and it provides an amazing night's sleep for me. There's been occasions where I'll skip a dose or two and jump back on it with no ill effect.

The only thing I regret is not trying this amazing drug years ago."


"I started tretinoin .05% 6 weeks ago every other night. I applied right after washing my face. Big mistake. Very red with lots of peeling. My second mistake was to rub the skin off when it was softened in the shower. While skin felt smooth instantly, there was painful stinging the minute I tried to moisturize. I had to wash off. Since then I've started waiting 30min before applying and I definitely don't rub it off in the shower. I'm still just at twice a week and having dry flaky skin within two days of applying-makeup looks awful. So I went to a derm who is also the owner of a med spa. She explained diff between hydration vs  moisturizers and put me on hydration serums. So much better!"


"So far I am on day three of taking Duloxetine and I already want to be off of it.

I have been taking the drug at night as I read that it can cause serious drowsiness. Since I already felt drowsy before taking the drug, I didn't want this to end up being worse. I get up every hour and each time, I am wide awake. This has been the second day where I have gotten up at 3AM and haven't been able to go back to sleep.

I have never taken steroids, but after all I've heard, I feel like I'm on one. I'm starving all of the time. Right after I eat, I feel like I haven't eaten for hours. My muscles have been tightening up, my jaw clenches and I grind my teeth. The worst part is that I'm easily agitated and angered by the smallest of things."


"I was on Belvique for 5 months. Lost 15# the first 3 months and zero the last 2 months. My doc and I discussed Contrave. I have been on it for 3 wks and I am at 2 pills at night and 1 in the day. I don't crave chocolate or sodas any longer. The medication makes me woozy if I don't take it with food. I don't feel like my body is ready to go to the 2 a day and 2 a night dose because I feel like I have "medicine head" when I take two at night. I can't concentrate at work like that. I am not tired all day like I was with Belviq. I am sleeping thru the night and wake up refreshed. I have a sense of well being and don't get stressed at work like I used to. I do get hungry now and then but keep berries as a snack. I eat small meals. No weight loss"


"I've had skyla for almost two years and I'm very iffy on how I feel towards it. The insertion wasn't bad, just a big cramp. My period used to be only a few days, very heavy, and I never had cramps. With skyla I have light spotting that lasts twice as long with some pretty TERRIBLE cramps and nausea. The week before I get the spotting I have extreme cravings and gain like five pounds and then lose it all right away from barely eating the week I spot. I used to struggle with acne and now my skin is always clear. My spouse is sometimes jabbed by the strings. I didn't want something with a lot of hormones so I chose skyla over other forms of birth control, but I feel like the cons may outweigh the pros for me."


"Excellent substitute to benzos for sleep. Take 25-50mg a night, very helpful. No major side effects at this low dose, just much better sleep. Takes about an hour to make me drowsy."


"I was prescribed this pill for pain after a surgery and it did absolutely nothing. After my first dose, I had a grand mal seizure and I was then diagnosed with epilepsy. This pill brought out the epilepsy in me that I never knew I had. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL."


"Been on it for 2 weeks, already cigarettes are making me sick and I can smell a smoker a Mile away.  I highly recommend  chantix to anyone whose ready to stop."


"This is my first yeast infection in over two years, and I decided to use a generic, one day treatment (Rite Aid brand) that I've used in the past.

I don't know what is going on with their formula, but this is NOTHING like my previous experience with this treatment!!! Within 5 mins of inserting the ovule, my vag was victim to an unbearable, ungodly, unbelievable itch and burn.

I will never ever ever ever ever ever use this product again. Thank God I found this thread because like many others, I was considering going to the ER.

If you're considering taking this: DON'T!!!

If you're like me and are reading this thread because you made the mistake of taking this treatment and are now looking for answers: it WILL subside, just be strong."


"I have liked depo, but today I started bleeding for the first time in a while, I was told I probably would bleed after my second shot (1/2 through my 3rd).  I came here to see if this was common.  I have gained 18 lbs while on depo (I was underweight so this is good, but 18 lbs???).  They said my appetite would increase but my metabolism seems to have gone down as well.  This shot makes you gain weight besides the additional eating, trust me.  I retain weight much easier which is a con if I were to take this after being pregnant!!!   I had terrible acne as well for about a month after I initially took this as well.  Overall I like it but wouldn't recommend it to a woman that just had a baby.  Vasagel will be out soon and we'll go that route"


"Works like magic. I finally have medication that works. I get severe migraines, and Maxalt has been effective every time I take it."


"Zoloft has saved my life. I have been on Zoloft 200 mg for 7 months and the results have been amazing. I suffered from severe OCD, anxiety, and mind racing. Zoloft and Abilify 5 mg have completely eliminated my symptoms. I can now live and enjoy my life thanks to Zoloft 200 mg and Abilify 5 mg."


"I've been on the Suboxone program for over 13 years. I am now weening once again but have had nothing but complete success on this medication.  I would recommend it for anyone addicted to heroin or methadone or any opiate for that matter.  A HUGE thumbs up! "


"I am a 56 year old mom of 5 children. Three of my sons had ADHD in varying degrees growing up. As a child, I too suffered with the same symptoms.  I just didn't know what it was. I started taking Adderall XR a month ago and it feels like someone flipped a switch and I feel for the first time, like a "normal" person.  I also take Prozac (80mg) and both have changed my life. No side effects. None!   I take 40mg of the Adderall XR in the morning. Best thing I have done for myself!"


"I had an absolutely horrible experience with Skyla which began from the insertion. Honestly, it was the most painful experience I had ever had. I was close to vomiting and fainting from the pain and I typically have a high tolerance for pain. I had take 800mg of acetaminophen prior to the procuredure as directed and it didn't help a bit. Following that I had bleeding, cramps and ovary pain for the entire duration that I had the IUD in. I went to my gynecologist multiple times and they assured me that it was in place and that it was normal to feel this way. I began breaking out on my chin and neck area as well as becoming extremely moody and irritable. I was always tired and had no energy. Furthermore, I gained about 7 pounds."


"This birth control is an amateur one for sure. I have been on it for almost 3 months now. I have mood swings, weight gain in hips and thighs ( I'm a professional athlete and have never had weight there), increased appetite, and occasional bleeding. I have had some minor break outs too. I am definitely switching over to a different brand."


"I was taking 80 mg. day of oxycodone (percocet 10 mg. + 325 acetaminophen per pill ) and finally found a pain doctor who is a psychiatrist and a neurologist as well as a pain mgmt. specialist and an addiction treatment specialist.  He asked how long the percocet worked for me.  I said 2 to 2 ½ hours.  He said based on the number of years I had taken it (4) and the increases of dosages over those years (beginning of 4 mg. 4 x day to 8 mg. 6 x day over 4 years) that I had become tolerant to oxycodone.  He put me on exalgo 32 mg. extended release once/day which is hydromorphone which is dilaudid and 4 mg. dilaudid/hydromorphone (the same drug but not timed release) for break through pain 4xday.  It was pretty amazing.  My pain just stopped."


"I have been on Contrave for 1 month and have not lost an ounce. I am taking it two times a day. It is not curbing my appetite at all. I am active and walk at least 4 or more miles a day and do extensive yard work in the FL heat.
Any ideas?"


"Was prescribed Macrobid by my physician for UTI.  On the third day of taking this medicine, my hands became numbed. It was so bad that when I was driving to work, my left hand slipped off the steering wheel. Talking about scared. I thought I was going to drive off the bridge. They need to do something about this medicine. Because the severe side effect that I received, this medication is dangerous. I'm still suffering from weakness from both hands. And it's very scary when I have to go somewhere. I never thought that I would get this bad reaction from this medication."


"Preferred to others."


"I'm going to college in a week and thought Skyla would be easier than keeping up with the pills. I got it inserted yesterday, about a month before my period so my cervix wasn't open AT ALL. I'm not going to lie it was the worst pain I've ever felt. Even the 30 minutes after it when I felt sick, like I was going to faint & was sweating was horrible. I had constant killer cramps for the rest of the day, but today they have settled down and they aren't so bad. Over all, the insertion was unbearable, but I'm definitely glad that I got it. Honestly we're women and we're strong enough to get through anything so don't let this post throw you off. Everyone's body is different & we all react differently."


"I took one dulcolax around 5:30pm with a glass of water and a sandwich and came online here preparing for the worst time of my life. Hadn't gone in 5 days and was starting to feel a bit of pressure/discomfort. About 2 hrs later, one solid (but slightly softer) BM comes and goes and now 5 hours post pill, the only effect I'm dealing with is a grumbly stomach and very mild cramping, no more than a 2 out of 10 on the pain scale. I feel 50x better and this mild post-pill/post BM discomfort is definitely worth it given the huge relief. 6-12 hours to work? More like 1.5-2. My suggestion would be to drink a good amount of water with it and eat if possible, and start with just one pill! I'm a 105 lb female, 20 yrs old. Don't take 2-3 at once!"


"I have taken Paxil on and off for about five years.   I started to take it after suffering from overwhelming anxiety and panic around the time that my marriage fell apart. My GP put me on this medicine instead of Xanax (which was working) because it was not addictive, etc.   And indeed, taking Paxil most decidedly reduces my anxiety and gives me a better quality of life. I stopped taking it about a year ago, and have noticed an exponential growth in stress the last few months. I've decided to start taking it again, and was doing some online reading when I came across this site. And so I decided to put my two cents in the bucket."


"My doctor  gave me this med  1 pill a day twice a day for 5 days. No sex, no caffeine, drinks lots of water and take it with food. I feel so much better, but while I was taking it I was so tired. Thank God  I was on vacation  because I did not feel like doing anything or going anywhere.All I want to do was sleep. I am so glad those 5 days are over I feel much better."


"Had the mirena put in about two weeks ago and it sucks. I never had cramping before and now I do, I I won't stop bleeding and my stomach is so bloated even though I'm eating healthy everyday. I gained 50-60 lbs during my pregnancy and I refuse to let this bc make me gain more weight .. I'm going back to switch to a different one. Not worth it .."


"Medicine appears to be effective. Injection sites are painful after injection, injection sites must be changed daily. Most approved injection sites can not be reached by user therefore requiring assistance."


"Find the use of these to be easy to take, and has been very helpful to me.  I have had no side effects, other than the 12 hour ends a little bit less than this!
Have found that taking them at 12 hour intervals has not been quite right.
I see that sometimes I have a little less than 12 hour help, and other times have gone 14 to 15 hours and been fine. Depends on digestion maybe. Urinalysis showed the rate in my body to be less sometimes and not sure why?
Do know that while I was sick with the flu, I wasn't able to keep down these, and did have side effects of withdrawals."


"This medication was a disaster for my bipolar disorder. I felt depressed and hyper at the same time. I couldn't sleep, and couldn't think clearly. I was more manic than I'd ever been. Stopping the drug was like turning off the faucet of pain."


"My pits have leaked like a faucet for years. Today was the first day I didn't have ANY issues!! It's unbelievable really. If it continues like this it will be a life changer!! I hope it's safe...seems too good to be true."


"Here's my story: Me and my boyfriend had an accident with a condom breaking while having sex on September 26nd while I was on the 4th day of my period. We didn't realize until after he had finished inside me. We rushed to the store and I took the pill within 45 minutes of the accident. Though many will say it was unnecessary to take the pill due to the very low risk since I was on my period, things can happen and I didn't want to take any chances. I had to wait almost 5 GRUELING WEEKS to get my period... Ladies, my period came 2 WEEKS late... Yes 2 weeks!! I was positive that I was pregnant and on the verge of despair. I blame the fact my period came so late due to the stress the thought of pregnancy had put on me. thank you plan b!!"


"I have been on antidepressants for 5 yrs and several of them made me gain weight and I always had this feeling of shakiness.  My Dr switched me to a combo of Wellbutrin XL and Prozac 20mg.  I've lost like 15 pounds and feel way better!!  Made such a huge difference for me in how I feel about myself.  I agree with others that have posted, I only take brand name meds.  I've heard so many issues with how generics don't work as well.  To me, to feel better and finally be able to enjoy life, it is worth it.  My two cents..."


"I've had a good experience with androderm patch. No side effects what so ever. It seems to work well. I would recommended it to anyone."


"I started this drug about two weeks ago. I was having a sudden intense depression. I had been taking Wellbutrin 300 mg and Paxil 20 mg. My psych suggested raising me up to 40 mg on Paxil but I didn't like the sexual side effects. So he suggested switching to Viibryd. He gave me a starter pack to use transition. I haven't had any of the mentioned side effects until the last 3 nights. My sleep has been very poor. Hard to fall asleep and waking up during the night. Even with a small dose of Ativan on two of the nights. I am set to go up to 40 mg today but I might stay on 20 mg until I can talk with him on Monday. Overall my mood has been better (until this morning. Not sleeping gets me fearful of another depressive episode)."


"I had sex and my partner finished inside of me on 6/6/17 and it was around the time of ovulation. I took aftera within about 24 hours afterwards. On 6/19/17 I started bleeding like a period and thought it was very strange that my period came about a week early. The bleeding was light and I was experiencing some cramping. On 6/25/17 I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. This was my first experience with taking a morning after pill and getting pregnant. I have taken plan b, and next choice in the past they both worked but Aftera effectiveness varies with each individual and didn't work for me."


"I have chronic shoulder pain for over a year. I finally got it checked out and was prescribed this. It works wonders, but makes me very nauseated. I really wish I didn't get like that."


"This drug changed my life.  It turned down my emotions just enough (I'm on .5mg) that I could actually function in normal society.  Thanks to it, I am now in college (when I was diagnosed at 16 I was failing half my courses) and doing phenomenally well.  I can't say this will work for everyone, but I must say it's exactly what I needed.  Thank you Janssen Pharmaceutical, you have given me a future."

"This has helped swelling, but becomes tiring. "


"I absolutely love this birth control pill. I have a tubal ligation and I was prescribed birth control pills to help keep my cycles less painful and keep my cervix thin. I used to have very painful cycles to the point that I could not work on the 2nd day of my cycle. I was recently on the Junel birth control but I continued to spot for 5 months and that was sooooooooo aggravating. I was very hesitant about starting a new birth control because my body had to get used to another pill but my doctor told me I had to be on some type to keep my cervix thin. So I decided to follow her advice and it worked instantly. I had to continue to take my Junel and then start on Sprintec pills the following week.
This is a lifesaver and I finally feel great."


"I promised to do a review if it worked and it did thank God!! I have 2 kids under the age of two! So everyone knows im not ready for another any time soon. My fiance and I had sex and the condom broke( be careful with ultra thin ones)! 3 hours after the incident, I took aftera and i had to play the waiting game. Which made it worse was i was ovulating that week! Idk if you should do this but I did it and it calmed my paranoia alittle. I started taking ovulation test the day i took aftera. The stick said i was ovulating!! Everyday I took a test the line got lighter and lighter by the 4th day it said I wasn't ovulating anymore so I kinda got sone reassurance that the pill had stop my ovulation and was working! I got my period today on time"


"Traditional sleep aids (Ambien etc.) did not work for me, and I have been using Seroquel for several years with great success, and no side effects. However, since Seroquel is not FDA approved for insomnia, I am having difficulty getting approval for an individual health insurance policy."


"This medicine helped me. Felt better after day 2."


"25, Male. I noticed the previous reviewer mentioned having ocular symptoms with Fetzima. I’ve also been having these issues. Specifically, I’ve had eye pain, a feeling of pressure behind the eyes and a tight feeling as if my eyes are about to pop out of my head. Other than the previous reviewer, I haven’t seen anyone else mention it, and it doesn’t seem to be an acknowledged side effect in the literature. I’ve had a number of other side effects, but they are manageable; this one is most troubling. I’ve been on the drug 3 months and I would have already quit except it’s the only drug (of many I’ve tried) that has helped my energy, focus and motivation. I will probably see an ophthalmologist before I decide whether to discontinue."


"****** The product is called "infant drops".  Are there really infants that drive heavy machinery or get pregnant?! I know this is boilerplate language, but it calls into question EVERYTHING on the page."


"I have tried clonazepam and had no luck. I have had BMS for over 3 years now and absolutely nothing has helped agonizing pain. Have been to both Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins. Mayo recommended the dissolving clonazepam but even after telling them muiltiplte times during my interview that I could not tolerate any kind of sweetner, they gave me tablet with aspertine in it!  Have also tried just regular clonazepam left in my mouth for 3 minutes and then spit but no help either. Have tried all other remedies and meds to no avail. Take 1 mg xanax 3 x day to help manage anxiety from overwhelming pain."


"My psychiatrist prescribed 50 MG of Hydroxyzine every 6 hours for anxiety. This medicine literally takes 15 minutes to kick in my system. In like a zombie. Literally drooling and having to be watched like a child. Works a little too good."


"I have been on 10mg for 6 weeks. Very little nausea at first and some headaches but nothing ibuprofen did not take away. I did not notice much at first, then maybe 3-4 weeks I noticed a little relief from frustration and sad feelings. I can't find a job and have gained a good amount of weight over the past year so I am having self esteem issues anyway but over the past week I am a mess. I am sad and cry a lot. I cannot focus and feel cloudy in my thoughts. I am very irritable and short tempered. I will try to see about increasing the dose. It seems like a slow progression but I am hopeful a higher dose may help."


"My first and second dose made me very sick n nausea. I don't know if I'll feel the same on my 3rd dose. I almost gave up but I'm on my 3rd dose."


"I'm on day 3 of Contrave, lost 3.5 pounds so far. I'm a 46 YO Female with 80+ pounds to go. Had been feeling fine until today-major nausea and dizziness. A few sips of cold water and a couple of Wint-O-Green Lifesavers later, I'm feeling a bit better. Definitely helping with portion control-I get the "I'm full" signal now. Prior, I didn't really get cravings, but if food is there, I can really put it away. Making healthier food choices, more fruits and veggies and I do not at all feel deprived. Even got in some Tae Bo DVD excercise (not that I could keep up but did my best and kept moving, was proud of myself!) I don't feel "spaced out" like I did on Phentermine some years back. Very happy so far, hopefully the nausea is just temporary."


"This is the best!!   I've been using it for 4 years and it is absolutely the best solution for AK's.  I am 60 years old, fair skin, been outside for years and developed way too many AK's, not to mention basal and squamous problems too.   For years, the dermatologist only used spot nitrogen and prescribed caramac.     I can only assume she didn't prescribe efudex because she needed the steady income stream from me and my insurance.     By chance I was having a physical from my family doctor.   He asked me when I was going to address my AK;s on forehead.   I told him I did, and he told me he could write me a prescription for medicine that solves it, efudex.  He did and I amazed at the ending results.  Yes, the efudex was painful, looked bad when it was working but results speak for them self"

"When I read reviews of Trinessa after I got prescribed to it, I almost decide not even to try it. However, I have had such a positive experience with it. I went on birth control for bad cramps and acne with birth control being a secondary need. My periods are so much lighter and cramps are almost non existent. Though I never had acne as a teenager, I've been struggling with breakouts lately.  My skin is looking so much better! I'm 21 and this is my first birth control. I recommend at least trying it. Everyone's body is different so just try it out and decide for yourself."


"I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and this was the only thing that worked for me on a daily base. Not even the medications that the doctor prescribed to me helped one bit! "


"I tried multiple SSRIs for my clinical diagnosis of Major Depression over several years. Most of the popular SSRIs resulted in Erectile Dysfunction, which was maddening.

Once I ramped up on the maximum 600MG dosage of Nefazodone over several months...I started feeling much better in terms of mood.

The additional prescription of Lithium Carbonate augmented the Nefazodone after only three days of taking it: For me, it was an amazing combination."


"I have been taking Zyprexa for about 5 years. Started at 5 mg and am now at 2.5 or 1.25, depending on the day. This is for bipolar. I've tried to go off it (because I felt dulled and had a preoccupation with food) a few different times and had severe depression/anxiety symptoms recur. I also take Prozac (20mg) and Lamictal (100 mg). I don't think the Lamictal does anything but the Zyprexa seems to be the "glue" that keeps me together. Weight gain was an issue but have recently lost 20 lbs through diet and exercise (and reducing dose). I would rather not have to take it but it so greatly improves my quality of life that I feel I should stay on it."


"This Pill saved my life,business,relationship. I a 24 years old and about 3 months ago I was diganosed with Bii Polar I stated at 25mg a day it got raised to 50 and now 200mg. I take clonazepam for my anxiety. I see things so clearly and with a positive outlook. My doctor saved me."


"I have been using Advair for about 4 or 5 months. It has made a big difference in my life. I am not wheezing anymore or tight chested. My voice gets hoarse sometimes, not as bad as when I was on other medications."


"The drug works for what it is supposed to do but I had all kinds of side effects. I had hot flashes, mood swings, headaches, and some dizziness. I am taking Provera along with Clomid in hopes to have a baby. This is my second round and it seems worse than the first one."


"I started using Veltin about a month ago for acne on my body and all I can say is THANK THE LORD! After years of trying benzoyl peroxide products and other ineffective topical treatments, I finally found the right medication! Pros- reduces blemish size, lightens scaring and pigmentation a lot, pretty fast acting for me it only took a month for incredible results and still getting even better because I'm still not totally clear yet but I'd give it 2 more weeks to be all clear. Cons- causes itchiness, peeling and redness but subsides after a few weeks. My tip is don't be lazy or impacient when it comes this product because the whole purpose is to bring up the new skin that is healthy and shed the damaged skin and acne."


"Have been on Humira for 2 months. Discontinued Endicort as MRI showed it was not working although I felt good. Within weeks got very sick again with fatigue, joint pain and abdominal pain. I had to go off work. Gastro Doctor prescribed prednisone for 5 weeks to bide me more time for the Humira to start working which was very effective for the pain. Have just finished the prednisone 5 days ago so am waiting for my Crohns symptoms to return. So far so good but my energy level is low"


"Tolerance builds slower than Adderall and other instant release stimulants, but still builds fast.  Lasts a good 12-14 hours as well, just make sure you don't take more than you should because when your tolerance builds you're pretty much done with."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I am on my 3rd day of Stribild and so far no side effects at all. If anything, I feel a bit better than I had been feeling before the medication. So I am relieved another step is over with for me. I just wanted people to know who may be worried initially."


"I've been on this 8 months and I'm still adjusting. I started last November, and in December I spotted the entire month. My doctor told me to take half the placebos to flush out my system. I missed Christmas eve and Christmas it was so heavy and painful. The worst 2 days I've ever had on my period. Round two wasn't so bad, with the exception of one day. I'm halfway through my 3rd package. I've been breaking out like crazy and getting random cramps and bladder infections as I normally would before my period, but I still have another 45 days until placebo week. I might check with my doctor again soon because my body doesn't seem to want to cooperate with this drug. I'm only on this to treat endometriosis. I'm not sexually active."


"I am a 61 year old female and have tried everything out there for headaches since my late 20's. This is a wonder medication for me. I started using it in my 30's and is the only thing I can use and still function without being down in bed in pain."


"Since aged 12 I had cramps that would literally make me throw up, bleeding that was so heavy it took 10-12 super tampons a day, and prolonged periods of up to a month. This medication was a lifesaver. My period is now light, few cramps and very short. It helps with my problems. But of course there are some things I don't particularly like. My sex drive is absolutely zero (my boyfriend doesn't appreciate that) and I'm more emotional than ever. Random crying outbreaks happen, and the feeling of raging.
"


"I suffer almost year around. I tried many over the counter relief. Some worked for short time then no effect on my allergies. Some worked but had other drugs in them I didn't need. For my allergies. I would use nose spray Afrin for bad times. Ever it stopped giving me any long time relief, if any. Try flushing with saline pots with minimal relief. I tried flownasa and it did work for everything bad taste, bad smell after using would get headache from sinuses being too dry the side effects it would feel light-headed dizzy and still couldn't breathe through my nose. Nasacort works for me. Use at bed time and allergies free all day. I found nothing else. That works."


"I'm a very active 63 yr old with a 4x bypass. After a year of not recommending any cholesterol treatment I finally brought it up myself with my doctor, when she recommended Repatha because of my statin intolerance. After my first injection I started to experience muscle pain in my lats and pecs. It felt like a severe muscle cramp that spread to my arms, although my muscles were not constricting as they would with a muscle cramp. I conferred with my doctor and she said I should not be feeling any side effects because it takes 3 months to reach a therapeutic level so I took the shot the second month and I'm sorry that I did and will not be taking it again because the pain has spread to other areas."


"It is 2012 Jan. and I have been battling depression and anxiety for the last 5 months, I was managing it up until 8 weeks ago. I started taking Remeron (30mg)for 7.5 weeks and it did not help at all, when I upped the dosage the nightmares were so bad I had to stop immediately. Now I am on day 2 of Zoloft. Day 1 was fine I was laughing and felt so good, day 2 I took the medicine at 9:30pm went to bed at 10:30pm and woke up in at 1:30 am with my heart beating so fast, and a nervous wreck. It took hours before I could go to bed even with my 1.5mg of Ativan.  I just bought a Light Therapy Machine and am also using that trying to combat this. I'm really nervous about the next couple of days on Zoloft after my night of panic and deep anxiety."


"I have been taking this medicine off and on for about 2 years. When I first started I hated it because it made me feel anxious and depressed and emotional. I was on 10mg a few times a day. It took the sickness away but I couldn't handle the side effects so I stopped and the sickness came back. Finally the Dr. cut it down to 5mg and I felt so much better with that. The side effects were gone and sickness was controlled too. I'm doing very well with this medicine but the long term use still has me nervous because I don't want to develop tremors later. So far so good and I feel pretty good."


"I've been on Lipitor (Atorvastin) 40mg for about 6 years and complained about leg cramps for 5 of those years.   All I kept hearing was the "low on potassium"  with never a solution.   The cramps have been unrelenting and at times, all day long.   Legs, feet, toes, fingers.   Talking to a friend about this the other day, she said she had to stop taking Lipitor due to leg cramps.   Well, knock me down.   I never associated this cramping with my cholesterol medication.   I stopped taking it a week ago and haven't had one single cramp!    Now I have to find another cholesterol medication but it sounds like all of them can have this side effect."


"I developed serotonin sickness syndrome on this medicine.  It's a rare occurrence, but if you're in that "rare" subset it's bad."


"Short term memory dysfunction and concentration problems."


"Started taking gabapentin about 18 months ago for depression and anxiety. Almost immediately my symptoms were alleviated. No side effects, and it still works. I take 3600 mg/day, split either in two or three doses. For an acute attack of anxiety I will take an additional 600 or 1200 mg as needed, and that will almost always do the trick. I agree with those that call this a "miracle"."


"I had Hep C for over 35 years.  I took Harvoni for 12 weeks.  12 weeks after completing Harvoni I had a blood test and I was Hep C free. I am cured. I was genyo type 1a. ?This is our miracle drug.  I had 3 prior treatments that made me feel terrible. A total of almost 3 yrs on treatment. Nothing worked.  Harvoni is your cure."


"This medication gave me severe anxiety and disassociation-like feelings. I felt as if I was being dragged from reality. It was used as an antipsychotic for my bipolar disorder. I highly recommend you try Abilify instead if you have similar symptoms like I did."


"I'm just about to finish my first month of Orsythia and I love it! Everyone will have a different experience but mine is great! I have no bad side effects. I don't know if it's the birth control but ever since I've started taking it, my acne has been under control, I've lost weight, and my breasts seem a little bigger! I don't have any cramps or feel any more tired than usual. Definitely happy with this birth control!"


"This stuff is absolutely amazing.  I've been on enbrel, stelara, humira, methotrexate, topicals, and none of them have ever done this well.  Within 3 days of the first injections I started to see clearing.  I thought, no way!  But it has only continued to get better.  I'm about to inject my week 5 dose and most of my areas are scale free.    My self esteem has gone way up.  My wife isn't complaining about flakes in the bed.  No bloody spots on the sheets from picking.  I can wear dark colored shirts, short sleeves, no sleeves again; and not be concerned about people staring.

Yes, the injection stings.  Yes sometimes the injection leaves a swelling under the skin.  But for me, it is completely worth it."


"Horrible, Made my chest tighten up, and did nothing for my migrane, I ended up in the ER."


"I have degenerative discs. I was given injections of Decadron near the area. Within a week I almost went crazy!! Felt like I was running for my life all the time. The doctors have no clue what this does to your brain, nor how to reverse its affects.

Do not take this."


"Within a few hours of taking have never felt so bad in my life. Headache,sickness and diarrhoea. In bed for 2 days. Now on my 5th day mild headache no chest pain and all round feel better than I have for a long time"


"Overall, for me, Lexapro was very destructive. I was on it for about three months and in that time my depression worsened, but that's not necessarily the worst part. The debilitating panic attacks that put me in the hospital was the worst part. After cutting the dose from 10 mg to 5 mg and not seeing any difference, I discontinued it. Bad depression, bad anxiety, bad drug overall; at least for me anyway."


"I switched from microgestin fe 20, which was good, but my body got used to it and I started getting abnormal periods.

Switched to this, did not gain weight, so far it's been a smooth transition. The only thing that I do not like is that I get a lot of nausea while I'm on my period. I hope with time it'll go away. Other than that it's a good form of bc."


"Has helped with all of my symptoms and other problems, which I wasn't sure whether it was the disease or side effects of the agonists (Requip and Mirapex) I had taken before."


"I've been on Wellbutrin for about a month and a half. I started with 200mg/day for the first month and my doctor just raised it to 300mg/day. The only good thing I can say is that it's completely killed my appetite which I don't mind because I needed to lose weight anyway. I've experienced the heightened senses that I've read about. I'm also having problems sleeping. So far, there has only been one day where I felt truly happy. The rest of the time I'm either at the same hopeless and depressed point I was at before I started taking the pills or I'm somewhere in between completely hopeless and just mediocre.  I'll give it a little while longer because I know these things take time, but so far it's useless as far as helping me with my depression."


"Horrible aftertaste that lasts at least 8 hours. The taste comes about 5 mins after I take it and that's when I know it's working.  Otherwise I can't tell like I could taking another popular sleeping medicine. It's increased my depression and anxiety. I'm getting put back on my previous medication in three days due to the horrible after taste. It's chemical tasting. Nasty."


"I wish I'd of known of Librium sooner. Lost my business to a natural disaster and then lived on coors lights for a year. Started as fun, ended months later with arguments and blackouts...then the morning shakes and dry heaves. Drove to the urgent care last week and skipped the line, told the clerk I needed immediate help, couldn't hold my water bottle. In a bed within 10 mins. Blood pressure through the roof. Gave me a fluid and vitamin drip along with Ativan for the anxiety and a Librium for the shakes. 15 mins later, didn't feel at deaths door. Two hours later, headed home with my sister at the helm (couldn't drive, too doped up). Been a week, back to running, surfing and getting my life back together. If you're sick of withdrawals, get it"


"Just horrible. Sweating, panic attacks, diarrhea, limb jerkiness, tooth grinding, worse insomnia, feelings of unreality and incidentally I have taken this for several months and the side effects are still there, just milder. No idea why this was even approved in the first place since it's just a "patent extender" for the almost identical drug effexor (venlafaxine)."


"It was convenient having the diminished periods.  However, when I was on this pill it put me into a horrible major depression.  I had never before experienced any mental trauma or illness, and as soon as I realized that it might have been this birth control and took myself off of it I was basically back to normal in about two weeks.  It affects everyone differently, but I also had found out that  friend of mine was on this pill and she, too was uncharacteristically depressed. "


"I just used miconazole and it's really helping with the itching and burning it  was burning for about 2 mins then stopped it's helping already and it's only my first dose"


"Although I've only had Nexplanon since the 29th of July, my first months experience hasn't been a good one. To this day my period hasn't stopped for the last two weeks and I'm betting it won't stop now, which is interfering in my relationship and resulting as unexpectedly costly when it comes to pads. In the first few weeks I also had terrible mood swings, taking them out on my partner felt horrible. Have been considering having it removed already, seems like its not worth the hassle it causes, personally."


"Zyrtec has been a wonder drug. all of my life i have sufferd from allergies. its effected every aspect of my life from relationships to pets and school. ANy one with allergies knows when you wake up in the morning and as soon as you walk out the door you start feeling like you have the flu. Ive been using Zyrtec for 6 months now and i feel wonderful!!! i can play in the yard with my kids and stay outside as long as i'd like to"


"I had a UTI with some blood showing in my urine prior to taking two 500mg Cipro tabs a day.  Which I took for 3-4 days. I went for a short 1/2 mile walk. Toward the end of the walk I started limping as my right inner foot arch was becoming more and more painful to the point I couldn't walk efficiently anymore.

I limped back home trying to figure out why was I having all the pain in my foot? As I didn't twist or turn it or anything like that?

I stopped taking the Cipro and the tendon pain in my foot lessened each day. Cipro removed the infection, but it left me with permanent plantar fascia tendon damage in my foot.

I wouldn't recommend Cipro to anyone. The first side effect listed is causes tendon damage-ruptures. Not good people/FDA."


"I've been on all interferons for multiple sclerosis.  My experience being on them may not become yours.  I became depressive, in part because of knowing I had MS, but then again knowing answered much of my questions. It's hard for doctors to recognize these changes when they don't see you in your everyday environment.  It is important to discuss probable mood swings with your doctor.  State of mind is state of health, and being down in the dumps doesn't help MS progression.  I know many people who are on interferons and do well.  If I had my choice of the three available interferons it would be this one to start with.  Presently, I'm not on any medicine and have 3 new lesions in the brain.  Please remember, my experience is not a forgone conclusion."


"Of all the different ADHD meds out there the dextroamphetamine works best for me. I don't get shaky or jittery while on it. I take it very early in the morning because it takes at least two hours for it to begin to work, I can't get out of bed until the dextroamphetamine begins to wake my brain up.  In fact I sleep very deeply while on this medicine and wake up feeling very rested and alert. I don't know what I would do if I didn't take this to wake up, without it I sleep 18 to 20 hours a night and still feel groggy and in a haze when I do finally get out of bed."


"Great for knee pain."


"I was addicted to opiates for about a year, my boyfriend for 2 years or so. We did pretty much any sort of opiate under the sun we could get our hands on. We thrived on them. Our friend had the same PROBLEM we did and was expecting a son that coming year. He got his life straight and got put on Suboxone. Couple of weeks down the road we saw how GREAT he was doing and how he hadn't touched anything for those couple of weeks already. We were shocked, we decided that it was time to get our lives on track again. We went to the same doctor as our friend and now we have been absolutely clean for the past 2 1/2 months to the day. If you are addicted and want help, don't hesitate to get into the nearest doctor - trust me!"


"I had mirena for 4 months and I have not stopped bleeding yet! There is a strange odor but no infection. My sex drive has decreased because of this constant bleeding. I am extremely tired of this and I am ready to take it out myself!!"


"Found this gel great. I was prescribed a cream to try first and it made my skin all dry and red so had I stop using it. Doc prescribed this gel next and my skin cleared up within about two weeks and had been fantastic ever since. No random blow out and under the skin lump spots. Had no side effects and the tube actually goes quite far."


"I started having seizures when I was 16 (I'm now 23), with no past family history. The cause of them are still unknown, and without medication I have one every 4-5 months while sleeping. My first anti-epileptic medication was Lamictal from which I suffered a severe rash. I started Keppra (500mg 2x daily) and haven't had a seizure since taking it (knock on wood). After two years of treatment, I came off from Keppra and had a seizure after 5 months without the medication. I'm back on it, and have been seizure-free for almost two years now. I do have side effects from Keppra though. I'm tired a lot, have mood swings, experience bouts of insomnia, headaches, and dizziness. Overall the medicine works well, but obviously would like to be off it."


"I have debilitating pains from my costochrondritis for years. I have tried naproxen, Mobic, and Voltaren gel with no relief. My rheumatologist then suggested Celebrex. This has been a lifesaver. Celebrex has made my chest pains go from a 9-10 to about a 0-1. I would recommend this medicine to anyone dealing with costochrondirits. Even the price is not bad. I pay 60 dollars for a 90 day supply."


"I'm going to jump right into the fact that this medication is just not helpful, it takes away my personality, and has brought a lot of suicidal thoughts to mind. I am on 60 my capsule and the way it makes me feel is very empty. I don't feel like I have control of my thoughts and happiness"


"I had a 5 hour flight trip, I got Dramamine and it made me so relaxed, I fell asleep. When I woke up we were about to land. It helped me with anxiety too."


"I was prescribed this for tonsilitis and a nasal carbuncle/furuncle. Prescribed twice a day for 10 days. It got rid of the fever and sore throat after a day. The puss pockets on my tonsils are still there, but smaller, and I am on day 8 out of 10. I could not take this pill on an empty or even semi full stomach, or I would throw up. Even a banana an hour or so before dosing would not be enough to stop the severe nausea. Besides that no real side effects, except loss of appetite. Not pleasant to take because of the size of the pill and nausea, but worked."


"The medication works when you can't breathe but the side effects are horrible! I feel very disoriented and depressed. Not for me."


"After taking this drug for 5 days I had excruciating pain in my arms elbows hands fingers and knees. I have spent most of my nights awake waiting for these pain episodes to cease and sleep 1 more hour. I had one return visit to my doctor and one trip to urgent care because my hand a fingers were blue. Today is my 7th day off of that poison and I am beginning to be be almost pain free   Do not take it"


"Okay so I actually just started this, I was fine the first two months. I just started the last month before I start my period, and now I'm spotting really bad and it was scaring me at first but reading everyone else's kinda made it easier... could it just be that fact that I'm on the last month or could it be something bad wrong?"


"I was trying to fall asleep for 20 minutes then I said ohh crap I forgot to take it off. So now I will be awake for 3 more hours. It is very bad if you are a busy person like me. Uggg so tired but can't sleep."


"65 yr old and diagnosed with ADD.  (was tested)
Been on Adderral and Klonipin 12 years. My Doctor kept me on Adderal but replaced Klonipin with hydroxyzine and added Celexa.  First night caused my RLS to act up big time so I never took again. Taking care of my 88 year old mother is very stressful so I tried hydroxyxine again last  night but took with my ropinrole. No RLS! To be honest I don't think I feel a difference as far as anxiety.  Took another one this am.  Think my anxiety over rides any med.  Need something diff. Will post what Dr. replaced with."


"I have had the Nexplanon since last spring. The first few weeks made me gain weight and I started getting big under the surface acne that hurt. My hair basically ruined from being greasy, dry, frizzy. Just went totally unmanageably. My skin went dull. I looked sickly all of the time. I started to get some color back but I was so moody and mean all the time. Along with that came the cramps. Since I've been on this I have become very depressed and antisocial. Through that I have a hard time being motivated. I cried over everything, had migraines. Sleeping troubles, then got too depressed to eat and lost 46 lbs. Oh, and I haven't had my period since it was put in."


"Oh my goddddddd my vag is so itchy!! :(:( this is absolutely terrible and NOT worth the $20 bucks, even if it does work. Save your money, go to the gyno, and get oral meds. This is coming from someone who used to have chronic YI's for 4 years straight! My YI's stopped when I started taking probiotics daily, eating less (much less) sugar, and drinking a lot of water with ACV (apple cider vinegar). I always went to the gyno and I'm so mad at myself for trying to save like $30-$40 bucks. I don't even understand how this is legal??? Like there are treatments that are oral that work and Boric Acid but they ALL need prescriptions. So annoying!! Ughhhh I hope my sleep aid kicks in soon :(. Never buying this again."


"It didn't work so well for me. I had the patch worn behind the ear for 3 days. Patch stays in place even after showering, which surprised me.  Just wish it worked better.  The vomiting decreased, but left me with endless dry heaves and mad hiccups."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I was freaking out about how Suprep would taste. I have my procedure tomorrow, so I'm going to comment on here as time progresses.

I put both bottles of Suprep mix in the fridge last night. Pharmacist suggested I mix it with ginger ale or 7 up. So I decided to mix it with 7 Up. Honestly, it was not that bad..Everyone makes it out to be the most vile thing they've tasted ever. Was it delicious? No,It was just really sweet, syrupy with a little bit of a bitter after taste.I chugged it. Couldn't do it with a straw, was taking too long. I drank one 16-oz water right after... Felt nauseous and full but not from the Suprep, but from the volume of liquid. So far so good... Will check back in a few hours..."


"Lithium made me feel so YUCKY. I don't know how else to describe that. I also felt super lethargic, like I couldn't do the things I needed to do. I also had to pee all the time, even wet the bed once (which I never otherwise do) and was constantly thirsty.
I don't feel like I was super stable on it, but it was better than nothing."


"My son, now 10, was diagnosed with impulse control issues. He has always had As and Bs in school and always loves to read. He gets bored alot in class and his impulse control (blurting out, saying what's on his mind/no filter) had caused him to be put in alternative school (where his grades began to falter). Over the summer, we had him evaluated and they said that meds would help. Our general physician didn't want to put him on a stimulant and suggested Straterra. First 2 months @ 60mg. Lost 15lbs (which put him at the right weight actually) and slept all the time. Backed off to 40mg since then and he's maintained his weight, sleeps well and maintained grades. Too bad our monthly script cost increased x9. Looking for a cheaper alternative."


"I am back on this birth control after not being on anything for a few years but my periods were becoming such a nuisance with my busy schedule (9 days of heavy bleeding and clots). Due to my migraines with aura I can't take anything with estrogen in it. I'm not sure if I'm an anomaly or why there are such terrible reviews as I no longer have periods at all. It completely stopped my cycle but I have to make sure to take it at exactly the same time each day. I still feel like myself - without the mood swings or crying. I am slightly more fatigued at night and fall asleep earlier which might be a good thing. My vaginal discharge is thicker. I've actually noticed my acne improving and haven't noticed any weight changes."


"I was originally nervous about taking this medication, but I reluctantly began taking 25 mg in the evening. After 3 weeks I definitely noticed a great improvement in my mood, but my sleep or lack of it, was miserable. After the 4th week on sertraline and .5 mg of clonazepam at night, I honestly feel back to normal with normal sleep patterns and appetite. I am at week 6 on both meds and life is great! Trust your doctor, take the meds. Get back to enjoying life!"


"I got the Merina inserted for Heath issues as I have heavy clot ( bleeding )

I had the Merina inserted under sedation for $490 and on day 24 it had dislodged ( I did not have months prior and post insert ).i called the clinic and told them that it dislodged and that I was feeling unwell with a fever,nausea and cramping they told me that they needed to see me within 24 to 48hrs but the were booked out and advised me to see my GP for antibiotics and painkiller while waiting to see them .6 days after it dislodged they saw me,gave me an ultrasound and said 'sorry this has happen ,and couldn't understand why it has'.The doctor that Had performed the insert was very nice and compassionate and sent me to see the receptionist regarding the re-insert and pricing if any.

I saw the receptionist  I asked them if they can do another one and was told yes but I'll have to pay $490. I said that it was no fault of mine and that they need to do it for free or under Medicare .

Heartlessly they showed me my signature that I had signed the disclaimer that this can happen and that they won't replace it free of charge or under Medicare . No compassion, very cold when presenting me with the documents that I signed.

I was so upset and devastated that I burst out crying and left the clinic cos I can't afford to pay for another one . Never again will I deal with them ."


"I had the nexaplanon implanted 3 years ago and  getting another, and I've seen bad reviews on this. However my experience was great with it, I didn't get any heavy bleeding or periods almost immediately after insertion, some spotting not heavy and lasted for about 2 days, I didn't gain weight I lost about 30lbs with it, and my face is tremendously clear it didn't give me acne. My mood swings are maybe bad at times but nothing major, I don't have to worry about getting pregnant the chance are low. It's in my arm and it's sort of cool to show proof of birth control in your arm to your partner or whomever. It's painless when inserted however I did bruise for 3 days but it wasn't too bad "


"Update from previous post. Day 14, now at  2 pills in morning and 1 at night. No side effects. No weight loss. Doc says to give it 6 weeks, then if no response to stop."


"I had Mirena placed in February 2012 at my 7 week check up following the birth of my daughter. I did have some side effects (fatigue, dizziness, cramps, spotting) the first 2 days after having Mirena inserted but by day 3 I felt 100% better. 7 months later and I love it! I have not had a single period since insertion. During the week that my period is normally due I feel slightly bloated and more hungry then usual but it sure beats 10 - 12 days of heavy bleeding, severe cramps, nausea and vomiting. I'm leaving Mirena in place until I am ready to become pregnant again, possibly in another year or so. After baby #2 is born I will definitely have Mirena inserted again!"


"The worst BC. Makes me SO mean and have horrible nightmares."


"Works on cramps and spasms 100 percent"


"I have been on this medicine for over 10yrs they had to switch me to this medicine because the other medicine I was on wasn't working anyway more. I was on atenolol for awhile for rapid heart rate and then I had chest pains so they switched me to Inderal because I had mitro-valve, so far it is working."


"Do not try this, I had read the reviews b4 I started this and felt real uneasy about taking it, but one review said it worked for the cramps, so I decided to take it and see what happens, by day 4 my hormones were so out of wack, I went from happy and loving my life to suicidal. I was crying about everything and I just wanted to die. I never knew something as simple as birth control could screw me up so bad in a matter of days. I also had started cramps like I has started, and I just got off my cycle, threw away my pills the next day and am doing much better the same day I came off of it."


"Started this medication over a year ago, and it has helped keep my heartbeat regular.  I had an episode where my heart rate was over 200bpm, and had to go to the ER in an ambulance from my doctor's office.  It has not repeated, thank goodness, and I had no side effects from this medication, which I take with Zestril (which I'd been taking for many years before)."


"I have weight gain. It has almost ruined my relationship. I got in a few huge arguments with my boyfriend. I didn't know what was wrong with me. I just feel unbalanced. It is better than most birth controls. I've tried the IUD but I gained weight to much to quick."


"I got my first depo provera shot in May of 2015. I bled for two months straight, but I was warned that this would happen. It was annoying in the summer but it wasn't super heavy and it all stopped one day. Now, I've gotten the shot 3 more times (I think) since then and I haven't bled a drop! I don't know why everyone says they've bled so much. Also, I'm very happy and I've lost 10 pounds since before my first shot. This birth control is the best! I'm only in my first year of it, so I hope I'm not speaking too soon, but it has been a blessing. I would also just like to note, however, that I received my first shot while I was on the 1st day of my period. I think this is important, because the doc said so. Good luck!"


"Waste of 75 bucks. My mood only increased slightly, and in exchange I got terrible bouts of dizziness and vertigo. Most of the time I felt like I'd been shot with a tranquilizer dart. Horrible experience. After only a week or so, I started to get nausea as well, so I had to stop. I regret spending money on this med."


"I first decided on Mirena because I was terrible with take my pills on time. I was in nursing school and with my schedule all over the place I was non-compliant. I finally decided on Mirena even though I had read some horrifying reviews. On the day of insertion I had mild pain, similar to PMS. I took 800mg of ibuprofen and felt just fine. I had light spotting for 2-3 days after. Just enough for a liner, not a pad. It has been 2 years now and I absolutely love it. My boyfriend has never complained of feeling the strings. I have had some "pressure" during intercorse but nothing unbearable. I definitely recommend this, just remember, there is no protection against STI's, so get tested! Hope this help!"


"I've been taking Nexium for about 18 years now. I suffered bad heartburn/reflux etc,, that was partly to do with 'trigger' foods I ate. Over the years I learned to avoid those foods, & I started on Nexium. This medicine reduced my severe heartburn/reflux from maybe each second night when I wasn't taking it, to only about 2 times a month when I was taking it, so overall, over 18 years, Nexium made a huge difference to my life. From having to sit upright till 4am in bed till the pain went away & I could finally lie down (without Nexium) to getting a good sleep most nights (with Nexium).
I do thoroughly recommend Nexium to anyone who can take it. Tip - AVOID Trigger foods! some are - chocolate, cream, oily foods, chickpeas, horseradish, mustard."


"This pill works!  I do advise that you eat breakfast wait 30 mins and drink water throughout the day. If you don't get hungry eat something wholesome. My experience with headache, and mood swings was due to me not feeling hungry, yet my body still needed fuel. Listen to your body! I'm at a weight that I'm happy with. I do exercise its my therapy. One seventy three from 205! Also it helps with my blood pressure. Eating is so much easier. I can think about what I need to prepare versus just grabbing the first snack, not so good choice that would satisfy me. Know your body, breath don't over think, be happy. This is coming from me!It helped along with small positive changes. Peace!!"


"I've been on Claravis for one month. I noticed a smoother complexion within a few days! I had moderate acne starting around 13 years old, I'm 25 now. I consider myself an attractive girl but not without make up. This is the first time in 12 years I have looked in the mirror and thought I looked pretty without make up. It's a great feeling! I can see my pores getting smaller and my blackhead disappearing more and more everyday. I'm only experiencing 2 side effects, dry lips and a little nauseous anxiety. I have a doctors appointment today to discuss my side effects. I hope they are normal and don't get worse. I love Claravis."


"After two days of treatment with this medicine at 7.5 mg morning and night, I find my pain greatly reduced."


"No anti-psychotic medicine is perfect. But Seroquel is quite okay. Gives you a good night of sleep. You can feel dizzy. But the best is no extra pyramidal symptoms.  I tried 4 or 5 other antipsychotics but this as good as it gets considering side effects."


"I was unknowingly switched from Minastrin to Mibelas and was told that these are equivalent. I was on Minastrin for over 4 years with no problems, but Mibelas has been horrible. My periods have been extremely heavy and last a lot longer than on Minastrin. I have no energy and feel horrible."


"When I was put on Lisdexamfetamine within a month of first taking it everything has improved. Things I would not normally do. I did my daily tasks, showing interest in things,  my impulsiveness movement has slowed down,  my thoughts slowed down and I can sit down and talk to people and hold a conversation with people.  A big thing that this medication has is the fat ingredient so I am now 11 stone as I was previously 9 stone so a big improvement. Within a month in everything as a person so this medication is a big thing in my life and feel the doctor has made the correct choice. I would recommend it to anyone who ADHD like me and if they are on it you will see improvement like i have big time!."


"Hello my name is Christian I'm 21,just wanted to share that I'm about to finish my first month on doxycycline  with topical creams benzoyl peroxide and retain A , it's looking pretty good I was giving 3 months on the medication. This medication made me breakout in the beginning but that's because it's getting rid of all the acne causing bacteria and now I have a few breakouts then before , so be ready. I'll keep you guys posted on my journey to clear skin."


"I've been suffering for two weeks before I got perscribed Bentyl. Bentyl has helped greatly and helped with the urgency I was feeling. I don't like the drowsy feeling it leaves but I suppose I'd rather have the tiredness than the constant problem of "going". Bentyl has been a good medicine for me. I recommend it to others who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome or other problems!"


"I was very skeptical after going two hours without having to go to the bathroom after drinking an entire bottle of the lemon lime tasting one....
It was late at night so I decided to just go to bed and hope that I would go in the early am when I woke up....
(Previous to this, days before, I took so many other things that DIDN'T work... I was starting to get nervous that it was a more serious issue).....
Well..... I'm here to say that after not having a BM for over a week, I can definitely, DEFINITELY say this stuff works!
It finally "kicked in" around 5 am.... which was 9 hours later... not painful... But be prepared to be in the bathroom awhile... So far, it's been on and off for about 45 minutes. I'm just happy it's working!!!"


"Love it, no issues. Got it after I had my second baby and started getting my period monthly again after I stopped breast feeding.  Started to lose weight now with no issues and is working great."


"I got the generic brand 3 day treatment. The discharge and the YI symptoms do seem to be getting much better but oh my goodness. the pain after putting it in is nearly unbearable. I wakeup to the most uncomfortable feeling in the middle of the night, hearing other ladies compare it to childbirth gives me hope for popping out babies since I withstood this pain somehow. It put me nearly in tears. I've used the suppositories instead of the cream before and never had this problem."


"I just finished my first pack two days ago and I will not be taking it again. In the beginning I was fine. There were no symptoms and I was feeling good. Now that it's been a month I can tell you I'm in a place I don't recognize. Every little thing my boyfriend does I get upset over, I'm constantly crying and paranoid, never want to get out of bed and I'm depressed. This is miserable, and I'm hoping that within the next few days I'll feel normal again after being off of this."


"Caused severe chest pain, jaw pain, difficulty swallowing still after one year, eye pain, severe constipation, rash under my arms and anal area that persist
to this day. The chest pains sent me to the Emergency."


"I have been on so many muscle relaxers and pain control medications while waiting for hip replacements that it was unbelievable. About four years ago my Doctors (Air Force Type) put me on a steady regimen of tramadol 50mg tabs up to 300mg per day dependent on pain and I have been able to completely manage my pain and even walk in short bursts (Sometimes with a cane but that's still walking in my condition) it is an amazing revelation."


"I am now on month 8 of taking 10mg of Celexa. I am now feeling the full benefits of it. My anxiety, moodiness, anger, irritability, depression, rage, and even my cravings have subsided. Celexa has worked wonders for me. Sometimes, I'm in a dark place, but not as much as I used to. I also no longer hurt myself or have thoughts of hurting myself. Finally, I feel like I want to "live" again. I am not going on any other medication but Celexa."


"I started using this medication...You cannot drink, need two methods of birth control, lips chap badly, skin gets dry and gets rashes, trouble going to restroom, severe mood swings, always feeling sleepy and tired, started feeling depressed and suicidal. That's the possible down side...I started taking it about two years ago. My treatment only lasted about 4-5 months, had to cut my treatment short because of depression. It worked wonders on my skin. My skin was really REALLY BAD BUT My dermatologist told me that if ever I were to get 3-4 pimples at the same time, to consult him asap. My skin had been absolutely clear for a year....a couple of months ago, I begin to notice bad acne reappearing."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I'm on day three of prevpac and was prescribed four pills equally for h pylori and costing $841.00.I haven't had any major side effects besides swollen eye lids that went away in the morning . I was scared to take it after reading alot of reviews, but it's worth the shot if it'll cure my stomach pains that I've had for 11 years!"


"I had this put in about 6 months ago after I had a miscarriage due to the type of blood I have. Anyways, I have had it for a while now and didn't have any problems with it until now. I have been having my uterus contract as if I were having another miscarriage for the past month and a half now. I have to take 5 ibuprofen every morning to even wake up feeling okay, and now I am pretty sure that I have a ectopic pregnancy and if so then that means I am going to lose another baby. I HIGHLY don't recommend it."


"it was awful i used it for one day because of the pain i am in i was horribly sick i was throwing up almost passed out it was the worst thing i will never take it again"


"Great for me. I had spotting and heavy periods before."


"I've been on these pills for 1 year and 3 months, and I've finally got the chance to switch. These pills gave me less menstrual cramps, but an increase in migraines. My libido completely died and I had depression/mood swings while on it."


"I have been using spiriva for about 2 months.  I find my breathing has greatly improved.  I'm not using my albuterol several times a day anymore, maybe a couple of times a week.  The only thing I have noticed is that I am getting severe muscle cramps in the front of my lower legs.  This happens mostly at night when I go to bed.  Has anyone else noticed this problem?"


"After 15 years of being diagnosed with high cholesterol, Crestor did the following for me in three months - dosage 20mg:
Before: Total Cholesteral 379, HDL 64, LDL 286
After using Crestor: Total cholesterol 226, HDL 74, LDL 107.
My doctor had never seen such positive results in his practice - ever!"


"I'm going on my second month of Microgestin. I was on Seasonique before pregnancy which I had no problem with but I have a new doctor now. The first couple weeks I had light spotting and nausea but it has decreased. I had my period right before the placebo week. I have gained about 4Ibs so far and my breast have went up a cup size but that is a plus for me. I have also experienced a huge increase in sex drive which is unusual. I have no complaints so far, I just hope my periods are predictable."
