"Constant nausea there are flare ups where I have no appetite and I'm very tiny so losing the weight I have on this pill is scary. Also the nausea flare ups are horrible. constant vomiting and trying to eat anything only makes it worse. Sometimes I have to go days without eating just waiting for my stomach to calm down enough from this pill to eat. The longest I've gone is 4 days when the nausea finally subsided I am currently on a two day no eating period  because I'm nauseas and throwing up everything I eat. This pill is a nightmare stuck it out for 6 months. Switching today to Gianvi. Was previously on Loloestrin which was wonderful for everything except mood."


"I just started this medicine a month ago. Am I AMAZED. I had tried almost every migraine medication out there and nothing worked very well. I went from having 15-20 migraines a month (some lasting for days) to now about 1 per week. I am just so relieved! The only thing is, I do notice some side effects. I am on antidepressants for depression and anxiety, and my doctor did say it can sometimes make depression or moods worse. I also get some shortness of breath or wheezing a bit, which I might have to talk to my doctor about. But I'm scared she is going to say I have to stop the propranolol. I would rather have the other effects than the awful debilitating migraine pain. (I lost my job over my migraines, too)."


"I transitioned from Venlafaxine for Fetzima over 3 weeks.  Migraines during this timeframe.  I have been on only Fetzima for 5 weeks.  My overall mood and ability to concentrate is much improved but the side effects are bothersome.  One side effect not mentioned here is what I am guessing is an hormonal imbalance.  My nipples are sensitive and swollen (I am a 58 yo male) and have  outbreaks of acne mostly on my neck area.  My blood pressure went for normal to hypertension stage one.  Increased headaches (not migraine quality) and blurred vision.  Fits of anger/irritated feelings especially when driving.  But I do feel emotionally better than when taking Bupropion and Venlafaxine."


"I've experienced toenail fungus on my right big toe for 10 yrs. I also have it in my 2 pinky toes and my left big toe but not as bad. I've been on terbinafine for 5 weeks and see a slight improvement. My toenails are starting to turn pink and not be so yellow. When I started taking the medication I had this bittery taste in my mouth and would get nauseated after taking it. Everything tasted awful so I found the taste of the pill is bitter and leaves a funny taste in my mouth so I started putting the pill way in the back of my throat and swallowing it that way and it helps with not getting the bitter taste. Also I started taking it before I went to bed because of the nauseousness I was feeling. Can't wait to look down and not see ugly toes."


"I've struggled with binge eating and depression my entire life. I'd spend hours trying to convince myself not to binge and then ultimately do it anyway. In the past ten years I've doubled my weight, my highest being around 260.

I've been on vyvanse for just over a week, and I no longer eat everything in sight or binge. Some days, I have to make myself eat, because I don't have any interest. I also have increased energy, and feel motivated to do things which has helped my depression. If I'm not active, however, I do feel anxious. I've already lost 9 lbs, and this drug has given me the push I needed to turn my life around.

I did have some side effects with blood pressure and headache, which warrants the 9/10."


"I've been on Ocella for about 8 months now, and its been decent but I am looking for a new birth control. I'm 26 years old, and have used several different pills before including Alesse and  Lo-ovral. I found out I am allergic to synthetic progesterone (norgestrel and alike ) in virtually every birth control available, which is why I switched to Ocella. Ocella has done the job as far as preventing pregnancy, but I have had mood swings bad enough to start taking Welbutrin, I've gained some weight, and MY SEX DRIVE IS TERRIBLE. The mood changes and the HUGE sex drive decline is the reason why I will be changing again. I'm also worried about all of the warnings on Yaz/Ocella/ Yasmin and the high incidence of strokes associated."


"Started 2 months ago and I lost 10 pounds in the first month, the second month I lost 4.6 pounds. I have combined the pill with dieting something small every 2-3 hours and a decent size meal like chicken and rice 2 hours before my workouts. I like belviq and would do it again. I started off at 181.00 and now I'm down to 165.9"


"Based on 200 mg 1 per day; only thing I got was heart burn, no pain relief. Tried to take everyother day, didn't make any difference still got horrible heart burn.  Switched to Mobic."


"Wasn't that bad. It's my first time getting a colonoscopy at 20 years old and I was both pleasantly surprised and horribly disappointed. The taste is bad but not terrible - definitely like salty grape or cherry cough syrup. I had a harder time getting down the water after the actual medicine because it made me so nauseous. I had really terrible shakes and chills but it passed within the first hour, along with the cramping and the nausea. I would stay on the toilet if I were you and definitely keep wet wipes handy. After the initial symptoms it was really easy to deal with, I would recommend it."


"I have been on contrave since October 2016. I have currently lost 30lbs. I started my weight loss in February 2016 at 225lb. I am a 5'9" 35yr female. The first months I was on adipex and lost 50lbs with that plus diet and exercise. I currently weight 145lb and consider myself at a stopping point. I feel contrave  is highly effective. Especially along with the scale down program. I do not have an side effects that bother me to much to stop. Mostly dry mouth. For those of you who don't give it enough time I highly encourage you to give it more time."


"I was in ICU in a Denver hospital. This saved my life!"


"I received a sample of this from my ortho hand surgeon. He said it should help while I wait for my EMG test. He wasn't lying. I have several trigger points and my right side is painful and numb due to compression from my neck and what he suspects, compression of carpal tunnel radial nerve, ulnar nerve, etc. basically everything is compressed. This patch worked wonders. Very disappointed to learn its not covered by insurance"


"I  only received one shot of depo. When I was due for another shot 90 days later, I didn't get it. That same month, my period never came. I read online that it can take upwards of 18-months for your period to come after depo. Over a year of no period and I wasn't alarm until my boyfriend finally prompted me to go see my doctor. She did labs and my testosterone level was elevated but the other numbers were normal.  She prescribed me Levora. I didn't take the pill at the same time every day because of my busy schedule. When I finally got on the progesterone pills in the last row, I became discouraged. On the day that I took the fourth progesterone pill, I went to the bathroom and sure enough, my period was here!! I cried tears of joy."


"I have taken 2 1/2 and I'm wide awake"


"I started Cymbalta in September 2011 for Depression and Anxiety. My doctor started me off on 30 mg a day for 2 weeks then switched me to 60 mg a day. The side effects I noticed right away were dry mouth and loss of hunger (not a bad thing - I lost 5lbs in 2 weeks). After being on 60 mg for about a month I started to have pretty bad night sweats, and I mean INTENSE night sweats - you wonder how your body can possibly hold that much water. But they have gotten few and far between now and my dry mouth has subsided as well. About 2 months ago my doctor switched me back to 30mg a day - the 60mg dose was causing my stomach to hurt and burn for about 3 hours after taking it despite taking it with or without food. It helps with GAD. Try it."


"I am 21 and taking Oxybutynin for an overactive bladder, it has made a world of difference from peeing nearly every hour (or less) to now peeing every 3-4 hours. However, I suffer from mild nausea almost continuously from the medicine and headaches. For me it is worth it but for some it may not be."


"In 1971 I had surgery and was put on 1.25 Premarin and told I must take it for life. Now in the year of 2009 looking back on all, I have to say I wish I had refused the surgery and didn't take Premarin. They didn't tell us about the possible side effects in those days, told only we wouldn't understand. I reported side effects to doctors, who did nothing. My huge stomach is finally beginning to shrink after being off Premarin for years. "


"This has helped my husband so much he can do a lot more."


"I am a healthy 21 year old but have trouble getting and staying asleep. I have tried melatonin and I feel it may help me get to sleep but not stay asleep. The other night I laid awake until 5:30 am trying to keep my eyes closed with no luck. So the next day I researched some over the counter sleep aids and Unisom had great reviews, so that day I picked some up. I took one at ten that night and started getting sleepy an hour later. By 11:30 I was fast asleep. Although I woke up a few times throughout the night, as I usually do, I was still tired and found it very easy to fall back to sleep without tossing and turning for ten minutes at a time. I woke up at 9:00am the next day felling minimally drowsy. I will continue to take Unisom"


"Like many others have written, this drug has dramatically improved my quality of life. I have been taking it for about 1 year and have been too busy feeling good to write a review.
Before: I was plagued with extreme panic, afraid to be alone, afraid to take a shower, constantly worrying, "what if" scenarios, thought I would have to quit my job, lost weight because of NO appetite.
Now: all I can say is pretty much living like a normal person! I do feel anxious at times, but I didn't want to turn into a robot w no feelings! I am thriving at work, socially have made new friends, can concentrate so well (this might be my favorite part), no sexual side effects whatsoever, weight maintained at a healthy level. 5mg

I am so thankful for this drug"


"I am really pleased with this medication. It helps a great deal with my pain in my lower back. I have several herniated discs and degenerative disc disease. I rate this medicine a 10."


"I'm four days days in, and the mood swings are terrible. I have no history of depression or mood swings. Two days after starting I began feeling anxious and depressed. Ease of use is great, I have had no cramps, bloating, or break outs. I can't feel the ring when it's in and it doesn't fall out. I recommend if you want to try the ring, it may work well for some, but keep an eye on your emotions and call your doctor if something feels out of place. Don't feel ashamed or embarrassed that your mood changes! BC messes with your hormone levels and it is better to let a doctor know than to suffer unnecessarily. May be great for some, but this BC is not for me."


"My initial Dr appt was on February 23, 2015. I was at exactly 250 lbs., 5'2", 28 years old and have a 6 year old son. In the month of March, I lost an amazing 12 lbs., in the first 3 weeks!!! I didn't have the finances the following month and a half, but I went back yesterday (4-24-15). All in all, it works. My first month I was prescribed one 37.5MG tablet a day. With this being my "2nd" month with no significant weight loss (bc of my 7 weeks of no meds), I am now prescribed 1&1/2, 37.5MG tablets a day. One tablet when I wake up, half of a tablet 5 hrs after that. Will check back with results!! My side effects-dry mouth, some sleeplessness, occasional agitation (very seldom), amazing weight loss!!!!!"


"I started taking Vyvanse about 4 months ago and I have never felt better in my whole life.  I have no interest in food when I have it in my system for about 7 hours, but what I do to keep myself healthy and not having my blood sugars go high and low, is to eat breakfast and then have some fruit in the afternoon. Then I make myself a regular dinner. It is healthy, good food in portions. I don't eat out anymore, which is a big help, since that is where you eat too much food that is too high in fats and sodium.  Eat a lot food with protein, so you fill up. As a dessert at night, I eat an ice pop, so I get that sweet taste.  Not only have I lost 30 lbs. but, I feel healthier and energized. Also my depression is gone."


"The first week I took this med it kicked my butt. My symptoms were fatigue, nausea, headache and insomnia. I then started to drink a lot of water And I was feeling so much better (fatigue here and there) but nothing you can't handle. Totally worth it!! Drink lots of water to stay Hydrated!!!"


"Medicine takes platelets down but when pharmacy changed manufacturers my skin itches very badly. I will try to go back to old pharmacy"


"I suffer from nightmares. At my doctor's suggestion I have been taking one Phenergan at night for many years. They calm my sleep and I have hardly any nightmares now.  I tried sleeping pills first but they made me feel as if I was in living in cotton wool through the day. I also tried Nytol but they made me hyper and unable to sleep! If I forget to take a tablet I will have nightmares that night. Have not had any side effects at all. Tablets available over the counter at the chemist."


"i decided on Implanon instead of pills I'm horrible with remembering to take them I got mine in 09 had it removed mid October 2014 Implanon works amazing as a form of protection. However I did have crazy side effects I guess that's the cost of prevention. I instantly gained 15 pounds i hardly ever got periods Maybe every 6-7 months rarely had them went a whole yr with out period but had severe cramps.I was Very hormonal but I will say even though I had all these problems Implanon did what it was supposed to do and I do not regret getting it 3 months after getting it removed I became pregnant with my first child. every womens body is different so everyone experience is going to be different."


"I started taking them in May 2015, I weighed 196, first week I lost five lbs, I did get dry mouth dizziness, constipation, and insomnia, had to force my self to sleep, and doing Zumba with this pill and a Herbalife pill with or without it together I felt like my heart was jumping out of my chest when exercising it did give me a boost of energy but I started freaking out about it, also my bones like the joints started hurting.. Think they warn u to take calcium or iron pills, vitamins. Month later I'm at 182.  After that I would take half here and there then stopped  till October. Now I weigh 176 I've started researching cause of chest pains, tired, headache, all the negatives I've read when they were tested, not worth the health risk"


"I'm currently on day 6 of 7 and I don't even want to continue taking Metronidazole. By day 4 I was so sick throwing up and running a fever that I wanted to do was sleep. Day 5 I was still running a fever but instead of throwing up my nose is stuffy and I'm constantly sneezing. Today, day 6, I've been mildly sneezing and I've head the worst headache. I feel miserable. I give it a six because the symptoms of bv are completely gone. If it weren't for the terrible side effects I would have given it a ten."


"I was put on this medicine in 2011 due to severe anxiety that led to depression. My psych doc had combined Wellbutrin XL 300mg and Cymbalta 60mg. Within 6 months I was symptom free and back to normal. I stopped all medicines 12 months later. Then I went 2.5 years without meds. An anxiety attack this November started my relapse. Now I'm back on the same combination, hoping for the same results as last time. Only this time I'm staying on the meds for 2 years minimum."


"I have taken Tarceva for over 6 years!  Yes, I have a few side effects but nothing major or that I can't deal with.   I am stage 4 with a small tumor and other cancer throughout my two lungs.  I am most fortunate and blessed to be alive and leading a very normal life at the age of 74.  My friends call me a miracle!"


"I've been using nuvaring for 3 months now. Previously I had tried the depo shot which I didn't like because it caused very uncomfortable vaginal dryness for me during sex. When I switched to the ring, me and my significant other really liked it! If anything the ring has been making me significantly more lubricated than without any birth control at all. At first that was the only side effect I had noticed and I was liking it a lot! However just very recently I realized that my skin has been looking worse than it ever has. I've been having more and more breakouts each week all over my face and they came on so gradually that I didn't even realize it must be from the ring. I'm very sad because I really did like the ring besides the breakouts!"


"I took Delsym for a severe cough. It stopped the cough and made me drowsy. I took a nap and when I woke up I could not move! My body was paralyzed. My cognition was impaired. After a undetermined period of time I was able to move and call for help. Very lucky to have been taken to a local VA Hospital where my blood tests indicated my immune system was compromised and my platelet count was 50,000 which they told me if I was in a serious accident I would bleed out. I was told that Delsym was a bad OTC Cough Syrup and would produce serious interactions with other Prescribed Medications. This near death experience can be documented."


"Thank God for this medication after years of taking scripts for pain   I think that this might really help me to quit. I'm almost two weeks clean and not sick or craving the codeine."


"I like it. I didn't notice side effects like the other medicines I tried."


"Ever since I was 12 my sweating under my arms has been horrendous and when my first prom came around and I had the most gorgeous dress I decided it was enough. Went to the doctor and got DrySol. I love it and I can now wear whatever I want when I want, including my grey T-shirts!"


"I have been on Yaz for 2 and a half years and it's been the best form of contraceptive medication for me. I have tried other contraceptive pills and have had all kinds of bad side effects, but once I started Yaz I was fine. Originally I started using it as a form of contraception, I still do but it has also helped with my severe menstrual cramps and endometriosis. I can have my period every 3 months without a problem and I haven't experienced any side effects, pregnancy scares, bloating or acne on it so overall it's been great. "


"I used several medications before my cardiologist prescribed Diovan.

I have had wonderful results, no side effects of any type and would suggest

Diovan to anyone needing their blood pressure controlled. I consider this

medication a miracle! It has been for me! I m 66 years old and have used it for

7 years."


"Only been on St. John's Wort for a couple of days, but so far, I'm optimistic.  I'm a 39 year old female that has battled moderate depression and anxiety on and off for years.  After watching my step mom turn into a pill popping, SSRI dependent maniac, I KNEW that I never wanted to take prescription drugs.  I started off with 5HTP, but it just put me into a "fog" and I felt like the only reason my anxiety decreased was because all I wanted to do was sleep while on it.

Enter St. John's Wort.  I feel like I am better able to focus at work and get things done, and the constant "stomach churning" that I attribute to anxiety has gone away.  I'll give another assessment in a few days."


"Don't know how good they r  as they wont stick for  more than 3 are 4 hrs ...."


"I have gave quitiapine 5 stars as it definitely allows me to sleep right through the night. But I have been on it for 15 years and still experience dreadful side effects. I have reduced from taking 800mg in the morning to 300mg in the morning yet in the evening and the morning I can barely function and am tired and groggy all day. I have tried to take it earlier and earlier in the evening in the hope of having less side effects in the morning but nothing works. Plus it gives me the appetite of a racehorse. I also have nasty withdrawal symptoms whenever I try to taper off completely. For me this drug is a necessary evil and I really wish I didn't have to take it."


"Metoprolol helped my blood pressure but it really spiked my Triglycerides.  I have been watching my cholesterol for a while now and everything was looking good.  I started on this med a few months ago and had another cholesterol test done.  Triglycerides went up to 238 from always being under 140."


"Got this moviprep with no instructions from the hospital. Great... What a good start. Took the first liquid between 8-9 pm and for me it was a bit of a struggle to drink that much ( unless it's wine!)

About an hour later was on loo continuously so was working but by 12 I was still running to the loo..... No sleep cause of a bit of a painful tummy and gurgling.... The worst part is the ring sting....ring of fire is an understatement as I think my behind is a volcano now. Took my second lot and am now waiting. Use Vaseline as it does help relieve the burning inferno that is now my backside."


"Following a car accident in May 2012, I developed an addiction to Norco, Percocet and Fentanyl.  I recently entered a detox program to get off the pain meds.  While there, I was given Suboxone.  Within 2 days, I knew something was wrong.  I am in the 5% that cannot take this medicine.  My blood pressure soared, my heart rate reached a high of 143, my metabolism shot through the roof creating a buzzing feeling over my entire body.  The scariest side effect was a drastic, abnormal weight loss (17 pounds in 4 days).  "


"Dealing with PTSD for 20+ years has been a blurry nightmare with very few gasps of air. My anger had gotten uncontrollable even though I thought it was. I have been on haldol, lexapro, and a couple of others . I have to admit welbutrin saved my marriage and more. The first few weeks were pretty rough but after that I can actually end an argument or conversation that's not going well without blowing up .."


"I'm on day 5 of 7 day treatment. I'm very suspicious of this medication. So, I'm not taking two pills a day, I think one a day is quite enough. I had a pap smear which showed an abundance of bacteria - bv, but i don't have any symptoms. So I can't tell if i'm getting better because i never felt bad. But what I do feel on this med is the same as all the other women. fatigue. nausea. slight headache. slight dizziness. why am i taking a pill that my liver has to filter, that my body has to interact with when the bacteria is centrally located?!"


"I've been taking Ultracet for about 4 months, usually 2-4 tablets daily. Not sure why my doctor prescribed it for long term use when product info says it is for short term usage. The pills generally help with pain, but they also give me a feeling of "well being", like a narcotic pain killer. Recently, I had a delay in getting my prescription filled and had to stop the pills abruptly. On the second day, I experienced withdrawal symptoms such as sweating, flu-like chills, clammy hands, restless leg syndrome and sleeplessness. "


"I have had chronic pain and tried many medicines including narcotics to help. Celebrex has helped me so much. I am able to do so many things that I couldn't before. My doctor has me taking it with Tylenol w/Codeine #3 and Carisoprodol."


"I have had severe headaches for more than 20 years. Tried just about everything Doctors could come up with both for prevention and immediate pain reduction. Nothing worked well untill I was prescribed Dilaudid. Got my life back. No more 3 month long headaches. No drowsiness or other noticeable side effects."


"Works great..... No side effects and clears up my frequent sinus infections quickly!"


"I wake up several times a night"


"Using it for pain - I had suffered from daily lumbar and leg pain for over 2 years.  Suboxone has been the only medication I have been on that both reduces my pain and has no severe side effects.  It has greatly increased my quality of life."


"I am 19 years old. I was diagnosed with depression/OCD/GAD at 11 years. This medicine worked wonders for me. I took it for 3 years. I later began to think I'd be okay without it. Now that I am back on Effexor, it makes me really sick every time I take it. It made me put on a few pounds. I have taken almost every anti-depressant out there, and I have to say this is the best one. Stay on it, even when you feel better."


"With the severe back problems that I have, this medicine, in combination with others, has been the most effective in controlling my pain. Without it, I would not be able to work much, let alone walk and enjoy life to an extent."


"I am 21 and currently suffering from ADD and Depression. The Vyvanse has done wonders for me! I can finally concentrate. I do feel as though I have absolutely NO appetite, but it doesn't bother me because I don't eat much anyway. Things are finally looking up. I'm on 20mg."


"So yesterday morning (Sunday) I woke up with a cluster of little blisters on my top lip. This has never happened before. I tried to go to the doctor but they were closed already by the time I got there. I took off work today and went in and they prescribed the 2grams valacyclovir twice a day. I took the first dose right away and the blisters seem to have flattened out already. I will take the second dose tonight. I hope by morning they are mostly cleared up, or at least they clear up before Saturday as I have big events going on this coming weekend. The reviews on here give me hope that it will clear up fast with Valtrex. Wish I would have gone earlier yesterday to get it!"


"I have been using it for a year now only on the heavy days of my period. 3 times a day for the 2 middle days. I've had quite severe anemia and only 20 days cycle which means 7 days bleeding couple of weeks rest and here we go again.  This is a great medication. Reduced my bleeding and helps me get on with my life while on it. Highly recommend"


"I started Loestrin 24 Fe about two weeks ago, and ever since I have had random spotting at least once a day. It took away my cramps and pains from my period but my period wont go away now. After I finish this pack I'll see what happens and if I should switch or not."


"I had protected sex 2 days ago but the condom broke as soon as my boyfriend pulled out. Some of it got on my leg and he freaked out so he bought me a plan b the next morning (better safe than sorry). I took it about 20 hours after I had sex. This morning i woke up with extremely horrible side effects. I have never felt this sick. I feel like I'm hungover/ on my period/have the flu. It hurts just to move and even just laying down still I feel pain. I have a runny nose and occasionally really bad cramps and lightheadedness. I hope I never have to take this again and I hope these symptoms go away soon because. My mom is freaking out that I just randomly got this "sick" when I was fine last night. (She doesn't know I have sex)"


"I was given Vistaril for anxiety, to be used "as needed" for my panic/anxiety attacks, and for me, it did nothing but make me a little sleepy. I know most anti-panic drugs are sedatives, but those generally do more than make you tired. This one just made me tired and freaked out."


"When I used it I had  burning that was really bad. Then I woke up the next morning with no burning or irritation. I think it's a good product thank you"


"I am 27 yrs old. I've been on Adderall since 21. I was diagnosed with narcolepsy, cataplexy, sleep paralysis, sleep hallucinations, etc. I have such scary dreams, lose my muscle control and fall asleep out of nowhere. After trying several things Adderall was the ONLY thing that eased my symptoms.  BUT it is hard to take as directed.  And running out makes for a bad time.  Running out throws me into more frequent and severe sleep fits.  I also get prescribed hydrocodone. I don't promote people to take pain medicines but Adderall does make my body/muscles tense and sore at times.  So it takes the pain and edge off the negative symptoms of the Adderall.  Dry mouth is also a negative symptom but I'm used to it now."


"Been using Colchicine for 3 days with no improvement (I cannot take NSAIDs) I went to the Drs for an emergency appointment this morning and was given prednisone. The Dr said himself it is a miracle drug - as he himself has suffered from Gout. Within 2 hours I could really feel signs of improvement (gout in ankle) Now 4 hours and I've just been able to run up the stairs. Still a bit of pain but its only been 4 hours. Very impressed so far !"


"I've been taking this for 2 weeks now. I had previously taken 60mg Fluoxetine for 2 months from which I was suffering horrible side effects, strange as I'd had a successful 6 month run on it several years ago. Having weaned myself off that and onto Mirtazapine I can't begin to describe the difference I'm feeling. Before I felt worthless and suicidal, had no appetite, couldn't sleep, and when I did I suffered from night terrors, and also had a complete lack of energy. Now I'm on Mirtazapine I can sleep again, I'm eating which in turn is giving me more energy, and I actually feel like myself! Plus my sex drive was non-existent and it's now returned to normal. So far, this is my wonder drug. Big thumbs up!"


"Great medication for Peripheral Edemas.
Decreased swelling up to 50% in just one week at 80mg twice a day."


"I was diagnosed with bipolar 1 with extreme highs and lows. I started taking lithium 3 days ago and I am so thankful.  My life has completely changed I now feel level for the first time. I think it is a great medicine to talk to your Doctor about."


"Works well for me now after a pretty painful period of switching/washing me out of the oxycontin regimen I was on prior. give it time to get used to and should get similar results. After all, its the same drug just packaged differently."


"I have no pattern but I certainly feel like I have my period 3 out of 4 weeks. And it's been almost 2 years. That sucks, but, it's not enough to make me want to remove it early. I don't have any scarring from insertion and I've had no other side effects. Ended up having to buy a moon cup though as the cost of sanitary towels and the feeling of constant use of them was getting a bit much. I would still recommend it."


"So, I began taking this medication for Hep C contracted from IV drug use. 24 years old. Doctor explained that since I had PPO insurance they would most likely cover the cost of the medication which I believe goes for around 75k for a 3 month supply. The medication was delivered straight to my house. Genotype 2b. Viral load was 1.7mil initially. I started taking the Medication March 30th, 2017. I had labs done this week to check on progress. After just 21 days of taking Epclusa viral load is completely undetectable. Initial fatigue first week, no symptoms after that. Great medication! Grateful that this option was available to me. Was absolutely worth it!!"


"I started taking Phentermine in January of this year. I took about a months worth, (I did not take it on weekends) & by February I had lost 20 pounds. I stopped taking Phentermine for a month or so, (didnt gain any old weight back), then I got back on it this past Monday (3/19) & today I weighed myself & I lost 5 pounds in those few days. Right now, the pill is working great, but there are some negatives. Phentermine gives you dry mouth (BAD), which makes me thirsty, which causes me to constantly be peeing. It'll give you insomnia, nausea, & unpleasant taste to some of your foods or drinks. I would recommend NOT drinking soda or eating fast food."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Overall, my experience wasn't terrible. I just drank the second dose at 3 am and it's now 5 am. The flavor, to me, was nauseating just to smell. I'd rather have no flavor at all. It literally was horrid and made the drinking all 48 ounces of liquid in such a short period of time, very difficult. Once I got past the first hour and a half of drinking stuff, the rest wasn't so bad. I had very minimal cramping and it definitely does its job well. I'll just be glad when it's all over completely. But overall, the taste and even the smell made it very very difficult to drink. Could it be made flavorless somehow??? Yuck! Adding the large quantities of liquid so soon after was really tough to. I drink water all day every day, so that's what I drank."


"I have used Imitrex by autoinjection since it first came out. After years of migraine taking my day away, this tiny injection allows me to take it back.  Unlike the other medicines I take this at first onset and 30-35 min later continue my day on schedule.  No nap, no regrets, no nausea.  After initial prescription met with the manufacturers rep who helped with dosing.  I was pioneering any new products when this came out.  Wegmans Pharmacist and my MD and the drug rep were great help.  Now 2 shots, 1 in each leg right away. I'm 220 lbs."


"I just started taking prozac, and I have had this terrible migraine. Its worse than any migraine I have ever had. I've been throwing up and sleeping throughout the day. I don't feel myself at all."


"I've been on it for almost a month now and LOVE IT. Prior, I was on the Nuvaring because I've always been scared about forgetting to take a pill on a daily basis. But with Nuvaring intercourse was painful, and libido dropped significantly. So far, LOVE Lo-Loestrin. I feel happier, want to engage in sex more, and best of all, my small 32A breasts are growing! Went bra shopping yesterday and so excited! Hopefully these great benefits keep coming. Will keep everyone posted!"


"I have suffered from migraines since I was 20 and am now 34. I have tried countless abortive medicines.  Sumavel is the best one by far because it relieves the pain and nausea fast (usually within 10 mins for me).  The injection is painful and leaves quite a welt but far worth it to get relief.  I do sometimes have issues with it not firing properly but it could be just me pulling back at the last second when I anticipate the pain coming.  I have wasted quite a few shots this way."


"I've had chronic constipation issues my whole life (in my early 30s) and this is literally the only thing that will basically clear me out. I only really use it when my constipation is particularly bad - it's one of those things where you really have to make sure you are very close by to a bathroom for at least 24 hours after taking it. It's definitely not the most comfortable experience - you will get stomach cramps and be up on the toilet for most of the night. But it's definitely effective. To me it is worth it  to get cleared out and not have to deal with the nausea and pain that comes from being severely constipated."


"This is the best birth control, I had no side effects. Only switching due to high out of pocket cost. Experienced NO weight gain, acne, mood swings, etc. If you can afford the out of pocket cost for this TIER 3 medication then I definitely recommend it."


"This medication works very well  as a Muscle relaxer for my back but I began shaking uncontrollably and can't walk very far before my knees buckle. I'm looking to see which of my medications might be a of this."


"Lamictal has been a major eye opener for me. I was astonished when the medication started to take effect (within a week or two), at how my condition was affecting my daily life. Since being on 200 mg per day I am able to wake up on time for work, attend my softball and hockey games, socialize with my friends, and take control of my life. I've spent the last 3 to 4 years in constant turmoil, jumping from medication to medication, trying various cocktails. Most of these had major side ffects that made them unbearable in the long run. Lamictal on the other hand has virtually 0 side effects, and almost 100% symptom control. I would recommend it to anyone suffering with Bipolar II."


"I have taken Depakote for 21 years for a condition that causes me to hyper-startle and frequently fall.  With Depakote, my condition is, for the most part, held in check, and even when I do fall on occasion, it is greatly reduced in intensity.  I have gained about five pounds, but what a small price to pay!  Incidentally, I take 250mg morning and night and take no other medications for the condition."


"Terrible, terrible experience. At first, didn't have a period for 2 months. Started getting it every 2 months- than my period in January lasted for a month. Got 2 in March, this one is lasting me going on two weeks. The amount of money I spend on sanitary products is unreal. I am constantly worrying about when it's going to end, and it makes a healthy sex life impossible. I am getting it removed as soon as possible. Would not recommend to anyone."


"Start taking the medication to stop it. But it never did I've been on the pill for 2 weeks now and it seem like I'm bleeding more than when I was not on the pill having huge blood clots and bleeding uncontrollably calling doctor in the morning to see what I can do"


"I have had fairly sever asthma all of my life, and prednisone does the trick each time my symptoms become unmanageable with a rescue inhaler.  While the side effects are unpleasant at times, they are not long lasting and worth it to be able to breathe again.  I get irritable, flushed in the face, and a bit bloated.  I have never had to take this more than six days, so this goes away once I finish the medicine."


"The first week and a half I started 5mg of Lexapro was a nightmare.  I would have a psychedelic experience each night when I would try to sleep.  It was like my mind was wondering through the expanse of the universe.  Very trippy.  However, after that first week or so, that feeling went away and it has been nothing less than a miracle for anxiety.  Ever since my best friend was killed in a head on collision with a drunk driver 4 years ago, I had been extremely worried and anxious that the same scenario would play out with another loved one.  I would obsess over this daily and was driving myself crazy.  Now that I'm on Lexapro, I don't have those feelings anymore.  Sure, I worry about things sometimes, but now I'm free from obsessing."


"Started on may 14. 2015 ONE pill per day.. Stating weight 187 lbs !!!!!

Weighed yesterday may 30 @ 183 lbs.. It may not seem alot but considering i have hypothyroidism and i have not exercised at all i think it is great !!!! Soo happy !! The first two days the pills made me feel nauseas and tired and headache but after the 3 rd day everything was great NO side effects!!  I am going to see my doctor in a week and a half and will ask her to prescribe me the regular dose 2 pills a day. My goal is 135' - 140 lbs ..still have a lonng ways to go but i am sure belviq wont let me down."


"I took three tablets around 9:00 at night and wen't to bed a few hours later. At 3AM, I woke up feeling sick. I hurried to the bathroom and dry heaved a few times before sitting on the toilet to try to feel better. My first BM wasn't very satisfying and I still felt like crap. I laid down again only to have to get out of bed 5 minutes later. This time, I barely made it to the toilet and had extremely bad diarrhea. I had to go again and again throughout the night. It really cleaned me out and I had a little more diarrhea at work. Explosive diarrhea isn't ideal, but I'm cleaned out!"


"I have cd since 8 years....i used all drugs started with botox....know i used 2mg ativan tab and 1mg artan which are the best i used for cervical dystonia....regards..."


"My son has been on several different ADHD medications.  He had been on one for a couple years and it wasn't having the effect it should after so long, so they changed him to Daytrana.  He was so out of control on this medication.  It actually seemed to make his impulse issues and attention worse. We discontinued the patch after the 2nd week.  Hopefully it's positive for others, just definitely not the one for my son."


"This medicine is the best insulin , So far it out does all the rest my endo and I love it."


"I've been chronically constipated for as long as I can remember. My parents would give me suppositories as a toddler and prescription medicines to help ease my struggle. Eventually, I moved onto taking gross amounts of Miralax every night in hopes of softening stools that had only ever been rock-hard. This worked as a stool softener, but didn't help to give me the urge to ever use the restroom. I started taking Amitiza, which came with its side effects: bloating, headaches, nausea, and cramping. Finally, my gastro doctor turned me onto Linzess. So far, I've been using it for a week and have NEVER been more regular in my life. Mornings are a breeze...this medicine is life changing."


"Our 10 year old daughter has been taking Concerta for ADD for two months and the difference is unbelievable.  Her performance in school had been steadily declining from year to year without any explanation.  We knew she was capable of doing well so we found this very frustrating.  After asking the school for help she was evaluated and diagnosed with ADD (no hyperactivity).  She is on a 36mg dose after increasing it just one time.  After starting the medication we noticed a difference immediately, the first thing being her handwriting, it honestly looked like a different child%u2019s writing%u2026so neat I actually thought her older sister had written it.  We%u2019ve received glowing reports from her teachers and even from the principal and her grades have steadily increased to As & Bs in just a short time.  Homework is no longer an issue either%u2026we used to spend long frustrating evenings on homework and now 9 nights out of 10 her homework is completely finished by the time we get home from work.  Thank you Concerta%u2026you gave us the daughter we knew we had."


"Am in my 60s but have had arthritis since early 40s. Arthritis is both osteo and rheumatoid.  I only take Celebrex when it's really painful especially in my hands.  Celebrex starts easing the pain immediately and within 6 hrs I feel like I'm 21 yrs old again!   It is a miracle medicine for me! !!"


"This is the worst, it makes me bleed and bleed for months and then gives me a 4 day break so not effective. Doctor had me taking both control pills apart and period wouldn't go away so she made me take more and more doses it didn't help at all. I hate it."


"I had pretty bad anxiety. My Doctor said to take 300mg of Gabapentin three times a day. The first time I took it was at night, before bed. It made me a little drunk feeling or maybe dopey. But, not a bad feeling. Not dizzy, not falling down - no other side effects. Made me a little sleepy to help with my insomnia.

Next day - took 300mg at 9:00 a.m. - no problems, no side effects, nothing. Just anxiety relief. Once in a while I can feel the anxiety after about 6 hours when I need to take another pill.

Started taking 600mg at bed time to help with sleep. The first time I raised the dose, it made me a little more tired and a little tipsy feeling. But only once.

For anxiety, this stuff worked great for me with no side effects!!!"


"I have had horrible mood swings and have gained weight. I never know when or if I'm going to get my period and my poor husband has had to deal with my mood swings. I was on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen-Lo for 2 years before this and never had a problem. I'm changing back."


"After 7 years of Norco 10/325 I was taking 12-18 a day. Quit cold turkey and started Robaxin 1000 mg with 400 ibuprofen. Absolutely no body aches or restless legs! Mentally yes it's tough but this has been way better then I thought it would be. Imodium helps the diarrhea. I am almost 72 hours clean and physically have been great, even played 18 holes of golf yesterday. Slight headache and no motivation but pushing through it. Methocarbamol is a must for withdrawal!"


"I have been on Nuvaring for 6 years now. I got on it when I was 18 and now I am 24. No major side effects- I think my small weight gain was due to college more than Nuvaring. The only problems I have had were when I forgot to put the new ring in after 7 days. The first time I did this I was 3 days overdue on putting it in. I consulted my doctor's nurse and she said it would be okay to leave it out that month and restart as normal the next month. I was fine until I put it back in the next month. I got migraines and extreme nausea. It was terrible. "


"Smoked for 40 years. Thanks Chantix I have stopped."


"The drug is no doubt very effective in clearing acne . But you cannot avoid the 2nd time break outs which may come after 2-3 years and that will be the worst break out because accutane lowers your immunity and it cannot fight against the breakouts next time. Also accutane has got lots of side effects and it risks your life to lots of health issues and it can destroy your life forever. It is the worst drug ever to have. I urge to people who are reading this review to please not to consume this drug and please warn your friends, relatives, near and dear ones not to consume this drug. Your life is more important than anything else. If you want to survive and have a healthy life . "


"I have taken Bydureon about 3 months.  My blood sugar has gone from over 200 to 125-180 which is a nice improvement.  I do not yet know what has happened to my  A1c.  I inject the Bydureon  into my thigh.  I alternate sides each week so each thigh has two weeks to recover.  I have had no side effects.  I have been trying to lose weight in 2014. So far I am down 14 pounds from 179 to 165 pounds."


"I recently went in for an eye exam and was told my eyes were dry. Optometrist told me to start using systane ultra a few times a day. In the first 4 days of use I've noticed my vision blurred and my contacts bothering me substantially. I've been using the same brand contacts for years and nothing else has changed, so it has to be the drops."


"I had a strong desire to drive off of the road even with other people in the car.  Otherwise this worked well but the desire increased the longer I was on it."


"The increase in happiness is amazing. I had been taking Effexor and Wellbutrin for about 4 yrs. I am on day 5 of Pristiq and I really love it. Scaling down from Effexor was extremely difficult. My poor kiddies, I just kept explaining to them that I was not mad at them and it was just a change in my crazy pills, as we call them. I am still on the Wellbutrin. I would love to see a decrease in weight.  I am an emotional eater. I tend to think about food constantly. I eat by the clock and I actually forgot to eat lunch this weekend!  My hubby says this is the girl he fell in love with. "


"For the first six months it worked great but now it doesn't relieve my headaches at all. In fact the only thing it does is gives me insomnia."


"I love this drug, but it is not for the casual or lazy user. I find I must take it at nearly the same time every day or I get side effects. I take it first thing in the morning, and I avoid the sleepies by doing something semi active for a short time. Also, never take this before bed... It can cause sleeplessness and nightmares. I take lanzaprozole at the same time for GERD, so avoid any stomach upsets. The nightmares went away after about 4 weeks from starting. I feel so normal now-- energy level has returned and the blues are gone!"


"After experiencing severe depression since middle school, I had been misdiagnosed and prescribed several different antidepressants, which only made my then-undiagnosed Bipolar Disorder worse. Finally in 2007 I was correctly diagnosed with a mixed/manic episode, and began taking Lamictal. I have had zero side effects whatsoever, and it stabilized my mood swings immediately. I am now supposed to take 200mg twice a day, but after 5  years of the icky-tasting pill, I tend to skip doses every couple of days. Probably as a result, my depression has come back, but at least I haven't experienced the manic/mixed episodes that I used to have before Lamictal! I can truly say that this medication is a lifesaver, although it seems to have "worn off". "


"I have been taking 120 mg of Latuda nightly for two months. For years I have been struggling with bi polar depression and schizophrenia. I haven't experienced any mania or depression since beginning this medication. I have been level, happy, genuinely happy even, productive, social,  and calm. I haven't had any auditory or visual occurrences in weeks either. The downsides for me are lack of sex drive and it's become difficult to acheive orgasm. Otherwise it's a great medication. I highly recommend it."


"Hello, I have been taking escitalopram 10 mg for the past 2 years. My story: I never considered myself as someone with GAD but all the sudden I broke down and had panic attacks and lost 20 pounds in 10 days because I couldn't eat anything. I was only living on water and maybe a yogurt per day. I always had the feeling of choking and that something is in my throat. I was in therapy for 2 years by then, but for other reasons: I felt lonely. I was far away from my family, 29 years old and felt being late with everything. Finishing school, not being married, no real friends... I think the circumstances were triggering. After 2 years of taking it I feel very good. Intense long dreams dry mouth are my side effects."


"I started off on 5mg they had no effect so Gp upped to 10mg. By the second day the pain had reduced substantially and things felt good. I've suffered for eight years with sacroiliac pain S1, herniated discs L4/5/6 at base. Just had successful total hip op. However I've had to come off them due to the very bad side effects, nausea, crawling itchy feeling under the skin,unable to sit in the sun and if I did suffered greatly, irritability, very low mood, and worst of all hot flushes. I'm back to my old self now. When peps start telling you you've changed, it's no joke and was very relieved to get them out of my system. Having said that, I know they work for some."


"My legs and elbows were covered and within two months it was all gone !"


"Your patches will not stay on long enough to supply pain relief. When I apply one to my lower back it folds onto itself within 3 hours no matter what I do. They need to be like the Qualitest patches that I have used for years"


"I have been taking Silenor every night for 5 months and love it.  It doesn't knock me out or make me loopy like Ambien.  Silenor just makes me a bit drowsy, but more importantly is that when I wake up in the middle of the night I fall right back to sleep - which is a lifesaver for me. Since it's non-addictive, this is great for just normal calm times in my life, which is 95% of the time.  But when I'm stressing out over something and all panicky, then Silenor does practically nothing for me.  I have to take Ambien or Ativan during that 1-2 week period I'm stressing."


"Tamiflu had given me all the possible side effects. Whenever I took it, I could not eat anything, and if I did, I would throw it up. I had severe headaches, fatigue and bad breath as a result of taking this medicine twice per day. I would rather have just had the flu instead of taking this awful medicine. Do not recommend."

"I have been on Adipex for 1 week and have lost 13lbs. I exercise everyday and have put myself on a low calorie diet.  I have noticed that my craving for food has subsided and I love that. I have had some side effects but not that bad. My weigh in was 308lbs, now I am 296lbs. So happy and ready to loss more. Oh yeah cut the pop drinks only drink water."


"I was on this pill for about a year, I worked completely fine for me.

 Although I did have bloating and at first had major mood swings and would often get depressed. Wanted to try something new and I honestly I like Lo Loestrin Fe over any other birth control."


"I've had endometriosis for over 20 years and have had about enough of the pain and the accompanying anemia from blood loss. In the last 5 years my blood loss from the endometriosis has increased tenfold and I have developed severe iron deficiency anemia. My OB/GYN and I decided to try Depo again (last time was in the early 90s) and I had my first shot in July of 2011. August was HEAVEN! No period and my iron levels tested almost normal. I was human again! Now it's September and I have had a "period" (in quotes, because it's more like a normal woman's period) for over 15 days and I feel like I have been hit by a Mac truck. No endometriosis pain, but my iron levels are so low from bleeding that all I can do is sleep. When it works, it's fantastic."


"I am a 23 y/o female and have had moderate acne since I was a teenager. I went to the dermatologist about 3 weeks ago and she prescribed me Acanya for the morning, Ziana at night, and Minocycline twice a day. I can say I see a huge difference in my acne, I have had no new pimples since starting this treatment, and my acne marks are fading. My only issue is that the creams (mostly the Acanya) make my face red and burn very badly for an hour or so after applying, but that goes away. My lips are very dry and cracked as well. I do use a moisturizer but I'm liberal with it because my face gets very oily."


"I am in my 30's and have hormonal acne.  I have issues with my thyroid and produce too much androgen.   Thank goodness for this stuff!!!  It took a month or so to work but I'm so thankful not to have cystic chin acne.  I have suffered on and off since my teens.   Usually always have a few cystic bulbs on my chin, cheeks, or neck.  I was supposed to use this RX along with oral antibiotics but they made me too sick so I didn't use them.  This topical RX did the job for me.   I've tried so many things."


"I have tried to get Valium prescribed by the Everett clinic for anxiety and sleep. I found it very helpful for anxiety and it made me feel normal. I was able to think straight and act normal. "


"After being on antibiotics I developed a YI. After being unable to find clotrimazole at any of my local drug stores I bought the generic version of this with the purple cap. I've used this product before without issues...that was then. This time shortly after inserting the cream I felt intense vaginal burning. By intense I mean it felt like a fire & fire ant bites. The burning was so intense I couldn't feel any itching. I resisted the urge to rinse it out and suffered all night with little sleep. The next day my vagina felt sore and swollen, which was not how it felt from the YI, only after using this product. I did not use any further doses of this. Instead I called my doctor and got the Diflucan pill. Spare yourself, use an alternative."


"Is a tricky drug but cons out weigh pros I experienced weight gain good if under weight not good for someone already appetite like me took a month to experience antidepressant and anti anxiety properties also helped with sleep but had bad effect on intellectual ability and totally ruined sex drive and actually made me more anxious in mornings and caused head aches when I tried to stop taking so would not recommend why do doctor s push the SSRI s all the time when Valium far more effective for sleep and anxiety problems this and St Johns and comprehensive supplements and improved diet and active lifestyle s far better choice"


"I have been taking Invokana about 2.5 years. The worse thing was a yeast infection but after a while I quit getting them, It helped me to pee good and I lost about 20 lbs, and my A1c was coming down I was satisfied with it and then this year my insurance wouldn't cover it anymore, thanks a lot, so I had to try Farxiga, horrible so now I have to try Jardiance, which surely wont be worse than Farxiga. I would really love to have Invokana back. but the Jardiance dont sound too bad, but i guess I will find out........."


"I got the IUD only one week ago, so I'm guessing it's too soon to post and will update when more time passes. The insertion was very painful to me. I cried a little and then it was over. However the real pain has been for the past 7 days since insertion. I have terrible cramps and major mood swings. I am also spotting and truly haven't had any desire to have sex with my boyfriend because I've been in so much pain. I will be  giving it 2 more weeks but I can't withstand so much more of this pain. I'm 28 years old and I'm an attorney so it's pretty disruptive to be in a meeting with a client when I'm cringing because of the pain. As of now, I truly regret this decision..."


"I am 24 and recently sought out a birth control pill because I will be getting married in March. I was put on Loestrin24 back in December 09. Thankfully I did not read all of the scary internet blogs until afterwards or I probably wouldn't have tried it. I have not had mood swings (in fact, I feel I am a less moodier person now). It is easy to keep up with and seeing that I am a first time BC user fell in love with knowing when my menstrual cycle would occur. The only negative side effects that have occurred since taking the pill: I gained 10 pounds the first two weeks of taking this pill. I've had a hard time shedding those pounds, but at least it has not increased as of yet. Secondly, my boobs hurt like crazy. I can hardly touch them, they are so sore."


"I have had restless leg syndrome since I was at least 5 yrs old, it runs in my family. It affected my school, jobs, trips and sleeping. As I got older the symptoms became worse. By the age of 30 yrs old I could no longer sleep at night due to the energy build up in my legs and arms, my brain was also not shutting down at night. I dreaded going to bed for years.  My twin sister also has rest leg syndrome and her doctor put her on Klonopin, it worked for her. So I went to my doctor and he gave me a prescription of Requip. It didn't work well. He switched my medication and I started taking Klonopin. The changes were immediate.  I slept for the first time all night.  I can take long drives, fly in airplanes and actually sit through a movie."


"Well no experience more like question I was just prescribed this drug but I see so many bad reviews so I'm scared for dear life to try it but I need something to work I was on Zoloft 50 mg but it did nothing what else can I get on that I won't have awful side effects like these reviews"


"I have been taking Seasonique for almost three months.  I did not have a period until three weeks ago and I have been on my period for 3 weeks.  It is very light, I have read through the information and it says your period can last for over 20 days.  I do have a call into my doctor to see how much longer I need to have my period before I need to be concerned."


"I have been taking .075mg for at least 2 years.  No bad side effects.  No weight gain or loss.  I would say the only difference I notice is no more afternoon fatigue.  This medicine takes awhile to start working.  I do believe it should be taking as said.  (  half hour before meal ) which I don't always follow. My dose has recently been increased to 0.1 MG.  I am going to do my best to follow the directions now....half hour before meal at breakfast."


"I am 16 years old. I have been to over 20 in and outpaient mental health hospitals, including residential. I had severe depression, severe anxiety, and the last year before I was diagnosed, extreme anger. I was suicidal, homicidal, I self harmed, I had an eating disorder, I dealt with death, abuse, bullying, everything. I attempted suicide four times. I barely made it each time. I had all the symptoms. low self-esteem, self harm, eating disorders, isolation, mania, the suicidal/homicidal thoughts, I was trying to use drugs, I skipped school, I tried to kill people, I had insomnia. I finally, after two years, found this miracle little pill. "


"My side is hurting and painful if I hold my urine or have to hold it for a while . A bowel movement is also painful."


"My Dr. prescribed me Thorazine for insomnia because she doesn't like Ambien, Xanax, etc. Felt like a zombie in the morning, plus I developed a tolerance from 50 mg to 100 mg in 2 weeks. Felt dead inside. After 100 mg and another 2 weeks had trouble sleeping again and doctor told me to double the dose. I didn't do it."


"My test is tomorrow at 3:00pm... kinda late!!  I've been on clear liquids ALL day today, and will be all day tomorrow until after the test. The hunger so far is terrible!  I prepared cup 1. I refrigerated the Suprep bottles, and water in fridge. I slugged it down in 3 good swigs, nose blocked. Not bad at all.   No chills, no cramps. 10 min in, burping. 40 min in was squirt 1. Over 90 min, 4 trips to the john.  Lots of gatorade, jello, broth.  This was so EASY!!  I feel "dry".  I bet tomorrow's cup of Suprep will be just as easy since it will be just liquid.  Kudos to the GI industry pharmaceuticals they finally got the picture that Golytely gallon was unbearable. My 3rd colonoscopy at 43.  Prep was GOOD!!!"


"Lost 5 pounds in 9 days. Love this med!"


"Fever 103 tested + flu B started Tamiflu. Fever broke but had horrible headaches, insomnia and total loss of appetite. Headache was horrible. Stopped taking it at day 4 and still have headache and feel "off" not right."


"I just started this medication about 5 days ago so far I haven't had any side effects and am going to continue taking as directed I'm on 20mg a day. I have been having severe anxiety due to the loss of a loved one (my brother ) hopefully this medication will work im keeping my fingers crossed will give another comment maybe 2 months into it"


"When I started accutane 5 months ago, I knew everything about it from blogs, reviews, forums, etc. However, nothing prepared me for my initial breakout. It was wretched and I basically looked like complete rubbish for 2 months. Despite this, I knew the effectiveness of accutane and was willing to take the bad breakout, drying skin and everything else that came with it. During accutane, my skin had ups and downs but now, by the fifth month, I have NO active acne. There is some discoloration from my initial breakout and that will probably take months to go away but I seriously cannot complain. If any of you are struggling with a severe initial breakout on accutane. STICK WITH IT and HANG IN THERE. It'll get better if you let it."


"Savella has been life changing for me. When I initially started the titration pack I had no issues. When moving to the 50mg twice a day, the 1st couple days were rough. So, I moved to taking 25mg in the morning and 50 mg at night. I have only had a couple of very tolerable side effects since (flushing and sweating more than normal). These side effects are more than worth it. I have my life back for the first time in more than 4 years.

One thing that is really important is taking it with food and around the same time each day. The difference in my life has brought me to tears (of joy). I would recommend this to others. Don't give up if at first it didn't work for you. Try again and stick with it."


"Cannot get it to stay on. Don't know why anyone would recommend it. Went thru 3 patches in 3 days because they do not stick, wouldn't even stay on with waterproof tape over it. Insurance won't pay for another box of 4 which should last a month."


"I was wondering why I had irregular bowel movements for quite some time. I went to Dr. after Dr. explaining my symptoms (constipation, bloating, back pain, dark stool.) Most of them thought I had IBS or an allergy to gluten. I had these symptoms from 2009 till recently. After some thought I decided to switch my medication. My Psychologist wrote me a new prescription and I started to ween of the paxil. 2 weeks into my new medication schedule I started to feel 1000 times better! I go to the bathroom daily now just as a healthy person should. In fact, it seems like my body is trying to make up for lost time. Needless to say, Paxil I feel is the cause of my extreme constipation."


"Very very effective. Would recommend. Helpful medicine for psychosis and mania. Helps with delusions and paranoia and voices and all that comes with a psychotic episode. Only down side is a feeling of anxiety and having to move around and can't sit still for too long when on this med but it is a very effective medication."


"I was switched from Lexapro to Zoloft 50mg about a week ago and I found it quite helpful for calming my mind from obsessive thoughts and depressed feeling. Now I am on 75 mg and it is further improving my condition. After 1 week, I will be on 100 mg and I am hoping that it will give me more good results."


"I had a open wound on bottom of foot. This stuff is awesome"


"I have started Vimpat just over 7 days ago and noticed I feel like losing marbles. I can't think straight, I can't concentrate on anything, can't read anything as can't concentrate long enough to read it. I get really dizzy, I'm forgetting lots, even walked out forgetting hadn't put shoes on. I was only started on 50mg one a day and within 7 days thinking it's making me a nutter."


"Tizanidine worked well for about a year. Then my body became resistant to it as I required more and more to be able to rest. My Doctor has since changed my meds."


"My name is Amanda and I'm a 39 yrs old female have one kid, a girl 13 yrs old.  My weight before I started taking Contrave was 211lb and I am 5'3" tall.  My first dose of Contrave was on September 26, 2015.  So far I have only lost 6lb. (After 3 wks.)
I have no experience any nausea or headaches and I believe is because I had being taking the pills 30 minutes after I eat.
Now, what I have noticed is a weakness to my neck, very hungry, generalized small muscle spasms when I'm lying in bed, not so much energy but a feeling of wellbeing.  My memory has sharpen and I had regular soft form BMs.  My abdomen is getting flat because of it.  I also noticed the medication has affected my vision and at times a hear a sharp wheezing sound in my ears."


"Drysol works amazing for me! The only reason I rate it a 9 is because of the burning and itching I get every night. I really don't care though because its worth it to not have even one drop of sweat. I guess I have it worse than most   because I have to use it every day or I will start sweating again."


"Doctor prescribed 100mg perles.  I am still coughing like crazy, congested and can't breathe. I wanted promethazine DM cough syrup (NOT the codeine one - as I don't do well with codeine). Doctor prescribed these stupid things instead.

Kaiser does not cover the cough medicine that works."


"This cream is amazing...the minute I feel and notice the reaction from poison ivy coming I apply to the affected area. This cream controls the itch all day from just one application. Greatly lessens the severity of the out break and the length of time I have the reaction.  I reapply daily until gone.  The poison does not spread either...I keep this cream on hand."


"I have been on trinessa for about 10 months. I will say that as far as birth control goes it's pretty effective. My periods were basically 3ish days long and were super light AND most importantly I never got pregnant!! That being said I was extremely moody and went through a pretty bad depression. After reading some reviews I now realize that there are plenty of women who have had similar experiences. I've been off of trinessa for about a month now and my mood has had a drastic improvement. Now on to looking for a new birth control."


"Tips for taking off the patch:  use oil (we use skin so soft, but any oil will work) to rub into the skin around the edges of the patch and let it sit for a little bit... maybe about 20 - 30 seconds... pull it gently while continuing to rub oil into the edges a little at a time, repeat.  The oil dissolves the "glue" and also helps remove the sticky residue that shows up a day later, easier to just wipe off after being sprayed with a mist of oil than scrubbed off with soap and water.

Breakfast is all ready to eat when she wakes up- sometimes I make a high calorie, high nutrient smoothie and give it to her while she's still in bed,  put the patch on at the same time, let her snooze for 20 more minutes; PM gets high cal/high nutrient snack"


"I found out I have PTSD, Social Anxiety Disorder and general Anxiety Disorder. I was putting myself in a bubble and would curl up in a ball just to escape. I quit a job I loved because of the stress, I quit going to to the grocery store and other public places because the anxiety was too much. Ithe was effecting my relationships and I was in a bad place where I thought that was what life was about.

After being diagnosed, I was given Zoloft. I looked at my phsycharist like he was crazy. Like this one pill a day would really have the effect of fixing me. I have taken it religiously, every day as prescribed. After 4 weeks I want to cry. I was missing so much, and haven't felt this good on years. I have my life back. Thank you zoloft"


"Guys!!! Calm down, my girlfriend and I made the dumb decision to not use protection, so I bought the pill immediately after intercourse. I pulled out but I wouldn't risk it THAT much. This was on July 5 and two days ago she got her period, and currently is. It might mess her cycle but remain calm. The best thing to do is to relax and just use it as an experience to get on better birth control. DONT LOOK AT REVIEWS AND PRAY!"


"Before I buy a product I research it. Unfortunately, when it came to looking for a birth control majority of the reviews for ones ranging from Yaz to Ortho Tri-Cyclen were negative so I threw all caution to the wind and allowed my doc to fill a script for Loestrin 24 Fe. Ladies, prior to taking this pill my periods ranged from 4-6 days and were very irregular with heavy bleeding (one time I bled through my jeans in class, ultra embarrassing). In addition, my symptoms consisted of diarrhea, nausea, lethargy and severe cramps which kept me in bed. The first 3 months taking Loestrin were difficult (spotting/mild cramps), but now I've been on it 5 years and I haven't seen a sign of my old symptoms. Plus my periods are light and short. I recommend."


"If there is such a thing as a "Miracle Pill",  Belviq is it.  For the first time ever, I DON'T have insane cravings.  I now know what it's like to feel full! This is the tool that goes with the exercise and eating good foods that is my key to success.  Past efforts were always ruined by an epic hunger binges.  Those are gone now.  I still get hungry, but NOTHING like it was in the past.
     Side effects: Dry mouth is real, but subsides after a couple of weeks to a degree.  Dreams are initially *spectacularly* weird, but also subside.
     My insurance doesn't cover it, which horrifies me since this is saving my life and their long-term costs, but I will do what it takes to afford the $210 per month I'm paying."


"Advair helps me to breathe, bottom line. I rated it an 8 only because of the side effect of heartburn, which can be almost intolerable at times.  I can find something to relieve that discomfort! I don't really have much of an appetite (see as a good thing for maintaining blood sugar levels and weight).  I am using in conjunction with another once a day inhaler.  I feel better and clearer than I have in years!"


"I had a good start in life. A single mom, an older brother, a State job, a girl, a quiet house in my hometown. I almost lost it all due to alcohol. I could write a book of how to use alcohol to flirt with prison, the grim reaper and insanity. I started drinking when I was 16 and I am 40 now. I never really stopped drinking that entire time. I then started taking Prozac 30 mg a day. I am now Alcohol free for a year and have no desire to drink at all. It helped me amazingly but I was also finally ready to quit drinking. "


"I honestly don't like this medication very much. I just started it previously and I am experiencing extreme drowsiness and although it is a common side effect it is not normal to the point where I zone in and out like I'm as high as a kite."


"I have Bipolar Disorder and I was put on 50mg of Pristiq in May. It worked well for a bit. The Psych Doc increased the dose to 100mg last week. I've noticed a huge difference in my anxiety. My anxiety is near gone! I did have headaches, but I've only been on this new dose for almost a week. Oh, at times I feel a little nauseous."


"Since I've been on this pill my periods are lighter and last 3 to 4 days. Before Lutera I would get horrible cramps and now my cramps don't bother me as much. When I first took the pill of course there were some side effects, but
nothing severe, your body just needs some time to adjust to it. I've been on this pill since I was 17 now 22yrs old so far. No problems with it and I continue to take it everyday at the same time."


"Im 14 year old girl & I'm on ortho tri cyclen (which is basically the same thing just cheaper) it's been 2 months & it's been the same.. hasn't gotten any better. I have tiny little pimples on my forehead WHICH HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. And more breakouts on my cheeks. But I haven't gave the medication enough time, I'm gonna give it 1-2 more months like people/Doctor are saying & report back.!!

Side note: drink a lot of water, workout, eat healthy, sleep well, and change pillow cases. Don't touch face, stick to a routine, don't put 10000 products on your face, try not to stress, and smile more.

( if you already do all of the above then your acne is hormonal and its out of control like mine.. Which is why I started taking birth control"


"It stopped the stomach pain and diarhea but it gave me constipation really bad."


"Sanctura has given me freedom to be more than 10ft from the bathroom. An unexpected bonus is that it cleared up the last problems of my depression. I am free of suicidal thinking, able to be in crowds. So I am enjoying life more than I've ever had in the past."


"I was put on mirena 9 months ago to help with my heavy periods and thickened womb lining. I found the insertion proceedure very distressing and painful. Psychologically, I was a bit messed up for a few days because it felt like I had something alien inside me and was terrified that it would move position and damage me.

My periods are a lot lighter, but they drag in for longer. I never know when I'm going to get one, but the current cycle is about 20 days. Because about 10 days of that is bleeding, I don't get much of a break.

I'm unhappy with mirena but I worry about the alternative. I do t want ablation or hysterectomy, so is it besfor me just to put up and shut up?"


"Slept like a baby, no cough."


"I was put on Trazodone for depression after other antidepressants began giving me restless legs syndrome. It has been great for both sleep and depression. I am having side effects of stuffy nose and sore muscles. Also having some loss of bladder control when I sneeze or cough from it. Overall it has been the best one I have tried so far for depression. It lets me sleep, whereas before I would have non stop thoughts keeping me awake."


"The taste was horrible. It gave me severe headaches."


"I highly recommend this drug " I was a smoker for 24 years . When I think about it ,I am disgusted with myself .well men and women I am No longer a smoker thanks to this incredible drug . On my week 2  had slight nausea ,headache .   Week 3  ,incredible ,did not feel like smoking  .its like that this drug erased the memorie in my brain that ever smoked . Week 4 ,well ,the thought of cigarettes make me quizy.   I forgot what it was like to feel  the way I feel today . Healthier ."


"I have suffered from MG for 9 years. My original symptoms were mostly ocular with some generalized symptoms. I tested negative for AcR antibodies. I was on high dose Prednisone for a long time. When the symptoms came back, I told my Neuroogist that we had to find something else and he recommended we try CellCept. It works but there are side effects (mostly just annoying) and long term risks."


"20  years in the evening for LUPUS (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis and now AVN (a vascular necrosis, from steroid use and the SLE).  I have been on Exalgo 16 mg, Nucynta 100 mg every 12 hrs for breakthrough pain. The Exalgo was sufficient. Nucynta takes pain away for a short time, and does make me sleepy, combined with the fatigue from lupus.  Once in a while I get headaches and jittery, don't know if it's from the Nucynta. (Better described like a painful spot in my head, instead of a headache)."


"I started taking the apidex in January.  I was prescribe 1 per day. My original weight was 305. I went for my follow  up on 1/27/17. From 1/21/17 untill 1/27/17 I had lost 2.5 lbs in 6 days. My next visit is on 2/28/17 I will let you know if I lost any more weight. I have not done any exercise but I do have a lot more energy. I can walk without giving out of breath. So I hope I have lost more."


"I've been on lupron twice in 6years. The first time was 2008 & I didn't experience any symptoms. I was extremely happy about that. Like most of you reading all the side effects had me a little on edge. The second time my doctor suggested that I get on it (Dec2014) I agreed with no problem.. Hoping that will be the same experience as the first time.... Ohhhhhh but it wasn't, I had hot flashes, night sweats & weight gaining. I couldn't wait until those 6months were over.. Unlike the first time 3 months off lupron my cycle started & 2weeks later two cyst 7.5cm... I was devastated & in so much pain & b4 you knew it I was having surgery.. I'm 2days fresh out the hospital on lupron again... I pray this time I have a different outcome."


"Starting taking this 4 years ago. Lost 20 lbs.  It works but if u take it too long you have terrible side effects. Severe dry mouth, bad breath, wired, can't focus, constipation. I mentioned to the Dr the side effects and he said he's never had anyone complain about any negative side effects. I also asked if I should only take the medication for a certain period of time and he said no. I guess he got his money so he didn't care.  I just went off it and have gained about 8lbs back but that's because you fall hard. You are tired all the time. Like I said it works but I think I will try the eating healthy and exercise."


"I have dealt with severe flare ups from Irritable Bowel Syndrome for almost 3 years and the combination of Bentyl, Donnatal and when very bad, Lomotil, work together like a charm.  Donnatal is my go-to medicine, but Bentyl does what it is suppose to do which is to help with the cramping and pain associated with flare ups.  ZERO side effects at 40-60mg a day.  Good medicine."


"I've started this medication a week ago, and it works great!  For someone who was always nervous over stupid stuff and worried about really nothing... This does help.  I was to the point where I couldn't even sit in a car without flipping out or at least having a worry issue.  Trust me, try this product. This has saved my life.  I was down in the dumps for about a year or so dealing with this issue.  This medication helped me a lot!  I've watched some videos on YouTube about people and doctors saying "just get over it and get thru it". Yeah- easier said than done... I tried that method for 6 months!  Never worked until my doctor prescribed me this!  Hope this helped! I understand this med won't work for everyone.... But most of you it will."


"I am taking the medicine for a bad infection in my tonsil. The first antibiotic I tried did not work.  On the 3rd-5th day of taking this, I developed a severe headache in the back of my head.  I was told this was from the infection and to administer heat, then cold compresses.  This relieved the pressure and headache immediately.  Thought this post might help someone in the future to know what to do.  I am feeling great today on day 6."


"I was on Hizentra and never felt well - ever!  During infusion, I would immediately become nauseated.  Shortly thereafter I would experience a horrible headache. My Pre-medications were Zofran, Zomig (for my migraine problems), Tylenol,  and Benadryl.  My trough level was at a decent level so I was able to have my sinus surgery.  I had post sinus infections of 3 different bacteria. I just kept getting sicker and sicker.  Hizentra was the worst drug interactions ever put into my body for 8 months!"


"I was on it for a month & lost 7 pounds. I started having really weird dreams & my mouth was super dry. Started taking it again after stopping for about a week taking 1 in the morning & 1 late afternoon. I am going to increase again bc this medicine really does curb my appetite & no cravings. I do feel nauseous but it goes away after chewing gum"


"Everyone is different! however I do not suggest this medicine if can be avoided. Due to an abnormality in my blood, my only bc option was the depo shot. I have been miserable since day one and it's not getting any better. I read all the reviews against it but I was set that it would be different for me. Hard no! My acne tripled in severity. I experience shortness of breath and muscle fatigue on the daily. The mood swings have been out of control and ultimately I no longer feel like myself. This has really impacted my life and I strongly urge you to avoid."


"I have battled anxiety for years. I have a supportive family, a loving husband and child, and could not understand why I wanted to sleep or cry the days away, the months away, the years away..... My breaking point was my family was struggling to comprehend why I did not want to do anything we loved anymore or be active in our daily life. It hit me hard I could not walk into a room of people without going into a panic. Prozac is the 3rd medicine I tried. I feel like a million dollars now. I am me again. I was on 10mg for 1 month and now 20mg a day. I'm crying as I write this because anxiety is real. It effected everything in my life. But not anymore. My fear and panic are gone. I can run circles around my loved ones! It's great."


"I took Chantix according to the directions for 1 month and I have been smoke free for over a year.  Not only did Chantix help me quit, but I have not had any desire to smoke again.   Chantix is amazing.  I tried quitting with the patch, gum, nicotine inhaler, hypnosis, will power, and Zyban (Wellbutrin) and NOTHING ever worked for more then a month or two.  I would recommend Chantix to EVERYONE and ANYONE who is serious about quitting.  IT WORKS!"


"My very serious problem is my legs. I do always have cramps every time I stand for a longer hours and it really affects my work, after I take this medicine.,I can say that its a miracle! it works for me. I love it!"


"Its only been a week since starting but so far I have absolutely no side effects. The first 2 nights I had weird dreams, but now I'm back to normal."


"i was diagnosed in 2014, and I can honestly say it has been a very difficult disease to handle......though I know there are much worse out there. I was put on Diamox and my headaches or vision problems did not improve, in fact they got worse.  I have had more migraines since starting this than I ever did before.  The side effects are awful........no appetite, foggy head (I am barely able to function day to day), nausea, everything you try to eat tastes AWFUL.  I am glad this has worked for some, but I can not continue taking it."


"I love the Nuvaring! It is the the best birth control I have ever used so far. I dont have any side effects and I can't even feel it."


"I have a condition called gastroparesis and for three years I was in bed for 3 to 5 days a week vomiting all day.  I didn't have a life, it was slowly killing me.  My doctor give me every kind of medicine to try with no relief.  Then she give me Zofran and it was a miracle for me!  I take 8 MG and I still will occasionally be nauseated, sometimes with vomiting but as of now it's been six weeks and then it was only for a few hours.  If anyone has suffered from this it is horrible!   I realize it may not work for everyone but I was totally at the end of my rope and this saved my life!  I do have to take a laxative once in a while but I'd rather do that then living the way I was!"


"Trigeminal, geniculate and glossopharyngeal neuralgia at once. Excruciating. I couldn't eat solid foods. This med brought pain level down and I could still function. I didn't have the usual "pain med" side effects for some reason. Got me through til I had surgery for my condition. I would take again if in severe pain for extended period."


"Horrible! Had a period every 2 weeks the whole time! Spotting regularly, terrible cramps, repetitive infections."


"Pretty quick pain release, combined with high doses of Ibuprofen is quickly effective ."


"Effects on me were Irregular and heavy bleeding for months horrible abdomenal pain extra body hair and weight gain. It worked though no pregnancy but my body reaction is severe."


"This medicine works every time I take it - zero bad side effects.  The downside is the cost.   And that cost means that some of my migraines must drag on and on."


"Worst decision ever. 2 months since insertion, and nothing but annoying spotting, cramping and General misery"


"I went to several doctors and wasted 5 months and a lot of dollars before I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia.  I was originally diagnosed with TMJ disorder.  My excruciating pain was right in the middle of my ear and it was the worst stabbing, electric-like pain anyone could imagine.  It would just paralyze you.  No indications on when it would happen.  I have been on carbamazepine for about two months and it has work fantastically.  It did make me a bit sleepy and unsteady in the beginning, but that has waned and now I really do not have any side effects. I do sleep better at night than I did before I took it. I take 2 chewable tablets, 100 mg, 2x a day and that has taken care of the pain. I have not had any episodes since I started taking it."


"I have now been on Nuvigil since mid July, 2010. My doctor was initially hesitant to prescribe it to me because he was of the opinion that I could just 'will away' my sleep disturbance. I have sleep apnea and shift work sleep disorder. He prescribed this begrudgingly as he figured all I needed was more self control. If that was all I needed, somewhere in the 20  years I was struggling with this, I should have had success. I tolerated his belittling because I needed his help. Starting on DAY 1, I began to tell a real difference with using Nuvigil. To me, it was a miracle medicine. I could finally stay awake in the daytime without feeling sleepy ALL THE TIME. Since starting this, I have had the energy to be highly productive everyday ever since."


"This knocked me out all day and didn't even help me sleep at night."


"Just started Belviq, slight headache first day, which subsided, but I noticed the superhuman ability to say no to snacking. I opened the fridge and didn't want anything. Noticed bursts of "I need to get up and do something".  My first night sleep was just so comfortable.  Will power in a bottle."


"I had incredibly bad acne. I would get picked on for having such bad skin, my skin would make me cry it was so horrible. Nothing worked for me, everything I took to control my acne just made it worse. Then I tried duac and nothing cleared my skin faster than this. This product has made my skin go from nothing but spots to completely flawless. I would recommend this to everyone with acne or blemishes."


"Most palatable drink for bowel prep I've had to date (compared to 2 previous...but it is pricey depending on how much your insurance will pay: Tricare was good). I followed Dr.s advice on prep and bowel was clean and clear for pictures and work."


"The only reason this is rated a 7 is because of the effectiveness. I started with the implanon version for about three years; it was great with an occasional bad cramping. I got the next one, nexplanon, and have had it about two years. The cramping is horrendous at times, lasting two weeks or off and on regularly. My periods became a majority of the month by the second year of having nexplanon. I have always had anxiety but I personally feel that the nexplanon is making it worse and I was diagnosed with IBS (for the pain and stomach upset/anxiety). A part of me is terrified that if I take the nexplanon out my symptoms will get worse, but I can also tell you I've never had these symptoms until I took Nexplanon. Be wary."


"I was on Nuvaring for almost 4 years and I loved it. I had NO side effects. The only reason I'm not on it now is because I got pregnant on it but no birth control is 100%."


"I started taking this drug because of the stressful traumatic experiences I had. Immediately, from the very first hour after I took it, I noticed a difference. It is an excellent mediciation. It made me forget about my bad memories, it made me more confidant, less anxious in almost all situations, less fearful, more focused. And I was taking its lowest dose. I did built a tolerance to it after 6 months, and I stopped taking it. I didn't want to stay on it forever, but I still feel as if I am taking, I still feel the effects the drug has had on me. Negative side effects: I did have a few awkward outbursts on it, and when I first started taking it, it took my body sometime to adjust to the strength of the medication."


"It 'sort of' worked for the first few months after my diagnosis, but I was still having symptoms of blood about every other day. The only side effect was some increased hair loss (very noticeable to me, but not to others). It's kind of messy and uncomfortable, terribly awkward if you are sharing a bed with someone, and you are supposed to lay still for awhile after you take it, which is a problem for an insomniac. I switched medications to Canasa when I was going to be traveling for a month because a month's supply of Rowasa would have taken up half my suitcase. Canasa ended up working MUCH better and my symptoms were mostly gone a few months after I switched."


"Taking for neck and back pain, and sciatica from being in a MVA.  Seems to make my hearing sensitive--when I read to my daughter, it's like my voice is too loud so I have to speak very softly.  Absolutely no drowsiness, but I have had a killer headache in the back of my head for days.  It has not made any drastic difference in my muscle pain and sciatica, but I have only been on it less than one week.  Will keep trying it until my follow up in a week.  So far, so good, except for the bad, bad headache in the back of my head.  Sleeping good and waking refreshed, unlike when I took Soma."


"I believe I was walking in my sleep whenever I took this drug. I would find myself out of bed, in another room of my home. For example I would be standing in front of my kitchen sink, I don't remember getting out of bed and walking to the kitchen. However, I do remember catching myself to break a fall. Reaching out to catch myself from falling is what woke me up. This happened every time I took Zolpidem Tartrate 10mg. I need sleep. Don't know what to try next."


"This is an update to my posting late Jan. Now after 4 months of titration I'm at 40mg. But disappointed. I could sleep 12 hours each night if allowed to, constantly tired. And taking a new hysingla pill every 15-18 hours for bleed-through pain. Definitely missing my old four times a day Percs, but I'd be doubling up on those too I'm sure. So Dr says live with it. Pain level at 2. But never any better. And that's disappointing. Dr won't go higher."


"I had a liver transplant and was prescribed this medication as an ongoing treatment to combat bacterial infections that may occur due to being on immunosuppressants.  I stopped taking it after one year but then experienced significant acne on my head and chest.  I will resume this medication as obviously it has helped."


"Works great!   Have been using for about two months now, already seeing improvement in vision"


"First time I went to an inpatient rehab, thought I was going to die I was so sick, shaking uncontrollably, near hallucinating, and they gave me two tablets of which mg I don't know, and it worked wonders! I took what I imagine to be 25mg every 4-6 hours after that and within 3 days felt great, stayed there 5 days and at day 4 I was ready to get out of there. Unfortunately, I relapsed and binged for a month. This time I did it outpatient and the Dr. gave me 25mg tabs which I took 1 every 4-6 hours the first day and it immediately made me feel 10 times better. Overall the course of 5 days I slowly tapered off and it's what I recommend to anyone wiithdrawing from the sauce."


"My experience is much like everyone else. It stunk. I had such high hopes. It took me 2 hours to fall asleep had a vivid dream for an hour and woke up. You can see how well it worked for me as I'm up wide awake 3 hours after I took the med. Fun part was learned what depths my brain had in my dream. Won't even be trying a second time. I took 20mg off the bat."


"I was given the three month injection in July 2012, with no mention of the potential side effects. I have been off lupron for over one year and still have debilitating bone/joint and muscle pain. I have had significant hair loss, short term memory problems and depression. My physical disabilities mean I will probably have to give up work. It is disgraceful that this drug was given to me with no discussion around these life changing side effects. I'm worse now than before I started!!"


"I definitely want to share my experience...it seems I'm one of the few who didn't have any negative side effects from it.  Had sex on 7/22 and the condom broke.  Took Plan B about 8 hours later and spent the next week freaking out that I may be pregnant.  My period runs like clockwork, but I've never really paid attention to when I'm ovulating, but I estimated that I may have ovulated the day before I had sex.  Like I said, I had NO side effects.  I lost my appetite, but I'm attributing that to the severe anxiety I was experiencing.  I was due for my period on 7/31, and started bleeding fairly heavily a few hours ago, so a few days early.  Just because the side effects aren't there doesn't mean the pill isn't working."


"Very tired"


"Started on Effexor. Lost my mind. Was put on Celexa (20mg) and lived my life. Things were okay. I had anxiety still, but it was controlled. Didn't care much about anything. But my anxiety was controlled. That went on for 2 years.

Just over a month ago, I saw a new doctor (insurance changed and previous doctor didn't accept it). She pushed me to try Paxil. I replaced my 20mg of Celexa with 10mg of Paxil for 2 days, then went to 20mg Paxil. No issues at all.

I am so happy I did it. I am a completely different person.  When I say anxiety was controlled on Celexa, I'll tell you I have NO anxiety on Paxil. I haven't thought about it at all.

I leave, drive, hang out with my friends, go do everything that not even Celexa allowed me to do."


"I've had the implanon for one year and I'm getting it taken out next week, cant wait! It is really great for birth control, was free to get and I didn't get a period for the whole year... but the side effects are not worth it!! I have gained 15kgs! (I always used to be skinny) I get headaches and body pains almost everyday. Oh and the mood... I get anxiety and depression so badly this past year. I went from a fit, skinny, happy, normal 22 year old... and now I am chubby, miserable and sore everyday. Do not get this."


"This drug was taken for twenty years. It caused severe peripheral neuropathy diagnosed for two years before my own research revealed that the peripheral neuropathy was caused by Avapro. Since stopping the drug periphrastic neuropathy in hands arms and face has dissipated but seems to be permanent in the feet."


"There are reviews that may make you question it. But I've had cold sores I left untreated that left scars and lasted for weeks. This isn't a cure but it significantly reduced the size and time of my cold sore. It's worth the twenty bucks."


"I'm 21. Cymbalta works really well with depression. It made me happy. So happy I could lose my mind in myself and forget to do anything but eat and think. That's why I'm giving it a 5. When I started taking it I lost about 4lbs.... Then... Tada! I gained 14lbs in 2 weeks. I got off the medicine right after this. I'm not going to gain all my weight back to make myself more depressed in the future. Watch out for this one if you're watching what you eat. I've lost 7 of the 14, so at least I have that. But I'm upset by the gain. I was on it for a month."


"I have taken Paxil 10mg for 6 weeks for chronic post traumatic stress disorder. It has helped a lot already decreased my anxiety about 20%. I'm going to try to go up to 20mg and see how much that works, because my anxiety is still moderately high. The only side effect I got from it is sedation, I can take it and soon after I take it I fall asleep. It has also helped my depression, I can now start to function again. With this Paxil I'm almost out of my depression. I also took Celexa before Paxil and it worked for about a year and that was it, so that's why I'm on Paxil now, and it works 10 times better than Celexa."


"I have been on every medication out there to help with my anxiety,/depression.  I was taking effexor which worked at first but I noticed that my head was just filled with unnecessary garbage to say the least.  My Dr took me off of the effexor and replaced it with brintellix and saphris which really helped my moods and depression.  But my anxiety was still affecting me to the point I thought I was having a stroke.  He prescribed my 1 mg of Xanax 3 times a day and wow!  The difference is night and day!  I am actually able to function normally and am so relieved.  I'm still scared to be taking it because of the addiction that can come with it,  but with my Dr's guidance I am feeling better about this medication.  My anxiety has subsided! Grateful!"


"I got this prescribed by the ER after dealing with severe migraines.
Took it for the first time today after trying everything else and no relief in sight, within 30 minutes my headache was gone, I did notice a slight lightheaded feeling in the beginning but it soon passed and I finished out the rest of my day at work like normal.
I'm definitely a fan!"


"I was on Seasonique for a little over 2 weeks, I developed a blood clot about halfway through that time from it, I didn't know it until it started hurting. I'm not trying to scare the rest of you ladies!I just wanted to say ,pay VERY close attention to your body when you start this therapy. Especially your limbs. Report any pain, swelling, aching or burning sensations in your arms or legs ASAP to your doctors or go to the nearest emergency room!"
