"I started this birth control maybe a year/ a year and a half ago and everything was great. I was spotting around the first month and then my schedule was back on track. The pill didn't make me gain any weight or give me any other side affects. At first I had very light periods that would last around 3 days tops. then later on, I stopped getting my periods all together. At first i just shrugged it off and didn't think much about it, but I still haven't had an actual period. I had gotten spotting like last month but for like a day or two and that was it. I'm not pregnant and have no other explanation for these issues. I plan on getting into contact with my doctor. Other than my missed periods I have experienced no other complications."


"I am 30, never had children, and can handle a lot of pain. I have always had very painful periods , I am very sensitive to hormone changes. I love my OBGYN ! She is great and fast. That being said it took two try for her to put my IUD in. The first time she had to send me home with a prescription to soften my cervix and I was on the end of my period. It is just a very stubborn cervix, she doesn't like to be touched. It was extremely uncomfortable to say the least!!!!!!!!! Both times. However totally doable. The second time we got it in just fine. I had some major cramping but nothing i am not already use too. I was a bit lite headed , my Doc told me that would happen. I was fine after a few minutes though and could walk out just fine. I cramped for the rest of the day. The first time my husband and I had sex everything went fine. However 30 to 45 minutes later I started to have extreme discomfort and cramping. Four weeks later and I am spotting constantly, extreme cramps, Tender sore swollen breast and incredibly bloated. I see my doctor in 2 more weeks. I sincerely hope the side effects go away. Because three years without having to take birth control would be nice. If they don't I will have to have this removed I am in constant pain in discomfort."


"I was on Sprintec birth control that was great and then my pharmacy switched me to Estarylla. I started taking it and I have been so nauseous and vomited twice last night. I also had to stop my work out at the gym because I thought I was going to pass out or vomit. I do not recommend taking this BC if it has any of the same effects as it did to me!"


"I'm 21 years old with my first UTI. My symptoms started on Saturday (constant urge to go, lower abdominal pressure/cramps, and an extremely uncomfortable urge to continue voiding even after I was done, and dark yellow/brown urine) went to the doctor yesterday(Wednesday) and was prescribed a 7 day prescription to bactrim. My symptoms seemed to dissipate within hours (was still feeling them just not as severe) I've taken 3 doses and all my symptoms have stopped and I can have full voids. Not feeling any side effects From the medication, but glad to be feeling better. Urine was still sent in for a culture. Been drinking lots of cranberry juice and water at my doctors recommendation to "flush" everything out. Feel much better"


"It's my first month on it and so many things have gone wrong . Firstly I got my first yeast infection because of it secondly I get the worst mood swings and depression like no other. I'm trying to hold out they say your body is getting use to it but I don't think I will continue I'm at the end on the white pill and haven't gotten my period yet. Oh yea and to top it off I also got more acne and back /chest pain"


"The nasal spray is amazing, pills no where as good. Insurance wants you to try the pill first. The spray is a miracle."


"Never had UTI before but I heard it was awful. When I got it didn't notice symptoms until 2 days later. Lots of blood in my urine so I went to a minut clinic and was prescribed Nitrofurantoin. After the 3rd day all symptoms were gone. The side effects were bad: nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. I think maybe the strength was too high but the urinary tract infection is gone so that's all I care about."


"I used Minocin for about 20 years (16 - 36 years approx) which controlled my acne perfectly. Before I started taking this I had very, very severe acne, huge boils and spots all over my back and face but this seems to cure it. I was very lucky - I had no side effects apart from bad stomach if I took too many."


"I was on this for maybe 6 months 2 years ago. I went from 121 to 184 in less then 3 months. I was eating constantly even after I had dinner I would be hungry 15 minutes later. If your doctor wants you to take this DON'T. It's easy for the weight to come but harder to make the weight go away."


"SO MUCH PAIN!
In the last 2 years I have suffered with a brain tumour so have been in a LOT of pain to the point of morphine everyday for a year. Then I had brain surgery...but the pain from this pill came pretty close!! In serious pain to the point of blacking out hot and cold shivers and just sat in pain feeling like trapped wind/indigestion it's just.. Ahhhh!!!! Don't take this!!!"


"Ok so I'm 18 and about a week ago I had a UTI, and got treated for it. Took the antibiotics that were prescribed to me and all of the symptoms went away. A few days letter I started experiencing this insane itch that would not go away. I called my doctor and she advised me to take Monistat 3. Yesterday was my last day taking it and it kinda got better but not completely. As I was told by my doctor, if the symptoms do not go away by the third day, continue to use to external cream. I just got out of the shower and put the cream on and the itch is worse than it has ever been!!!!! I had to go and wash it all off. I don't know what to do!!! HELPPP"


"I've had my Nexplanon for two months now. No weight gain, no mood swings (which is why I switched), no periods. I'm usually extremely sensitive to side effects and the ONLY thing bad I've encountered is constant spotting... just a little here and there when I wipe. But for not having periods or craziness, I can handle it."


"I've had nexplanon since August 2014. I had a period for a few months, which was annoying! Then I started to have normal to heavy periods and I never knew when they would come. But, I knew when I was about to start a period. I started breaking out EVERYWHERE! I would get headaches, increased appetite, which made me gain weight, I would have mood swings and not feel like myself, and I would even get tender breast and nausea. When I'm bleeding, it last for up to 10 days and it's super heavy. I never know when it'll end and I never know when it'll start. I even spot between periods. This birth control SUCKS! And I would never recommend it to anyone. The only good thing about it is not getting pregnant. I cannot wait to get it removed!"


"Absolutely recommended if your body does not like SSRIs.

This medicine has helped me AMAZINGLY--before taking it, I was experiencing ridiculous mood swings going between anxious and having panic attacks to depressed and crying. This medicine has given me my life back. I am no longer trapped in the hole of depression and my anxiety, while still present, has gone from being this massive panic to contained, manageable, and approachable anxiety.

Bupropion (Wellbutrin) is a stimulant, and because of this, it does make you feel stimulated. I've noticed some muscle weakness, but that's it. I switched to xl and I'm not sure how I like it yet--it seems like the releases are kind of random. Take early if you can so you can sleep! :)"


"This did nothing to relieve my back pain or migraines. It was useless an a waste of money."


"Me and my boyfriend had a mishap and the condom slipped inside and he finished in me. This was thursday september 29. I took plan b in 45 minutes on the same day and the next day i felt cramps and extreme mood swings. I had my last period at sept 5 so i expected it to come anytime soon but i was over thinking and reading reviews from here makes me feel better. on monday i got cramps and tuesday night i had brown spotting, i was scared it might be implantation , but today october 05 i got my period! This pill works but i have never had period cramps this bad. Just have to deal with it, better than having unwanted pregnancy. Chill ladies, it works . :) lots of love!!"


"Started taking it today, 1.5mg, hour later headache,  blurred vision. Dizzness, hate it"


"I just read the above comment about the lady feeling '90'. I am 45 and I too have had 6 rounds of chemo and a bi-lateral mastectomy January 2014. I couldn't take tamoxifen and monthly injections of zoladex were too painful and caused me numerous side effects. In June this year I had an oopherectomy which obviously has now pushed me post menopausal and I am taking letrozole 2.5 mg. and I feel like the lady above, like an old woman. Short of breath, exhausted, weepy, achy, no energy! Yesterday I was so exhausted after work at 4pm I was worried I wouldn't make it home as driving was scary I couldn't focus on the road! The tiredness has been so awful I have no longer being going out socially. It's ruined me."


"My doctor prescribed me Levaquin, 750 mg for 7 days) after amoxycylin didn't do the trick. I had the sinus infection for almost a month at this point, and was willing to try anything. I took the Levaquin with prednisone the first night, and had an intense anxious reaction to the combo - my pharmacy recommended I stop the prednisone, so I did. The anxious feeling subsided, and within 12 hours, I could feel my head pressure go away. However, on the second day, and until now (on the 5th day) I've slowly felt new side effects. Mainly, fatigue, achy knees and shoulders, and I wake up in the morning feelig like im burning from the inside out. I would recommend to help sinus infections,  but warning, the side effects are real. Hoping they go away!"


"This drug works exceptionally well for me.  Within 2 hrs my migraine is gone.  I've suffered for years and can't believe what a difference this medication makes in my quality of life."


"I've had depression since I was a young teenager. I didn't decide to get treatment until I was 24. I felt like I was unraveling. I didn't want to get out of bed. I lost interest in all the things that I once loved to do. I had problems with drugs and alcohol. Sleeping problems. The whole nine yards.

The medication that my doctor decided to put me on was Seroquel XR. I was a little apprehensive at first, being a drug user for many years, I knew what Seroquel was. My doctor assured me that in a controlled and carefully watched environment, she believed it would help. She started me on 50 mgs. I've moved to 150 mgs. I've had drastic positive changes in my mood. I feel happy, rested, and content. No negative side effects. It worked miracles."


"I'm a medical doctor (anesthesiologist), and also I'm a scuba diver, I was having strong problems of motion sickness, at one point just seeing the boat and  I was in a motion sickness state. I started taking MAREZINE one pill the night before and another 1 hour before going on the boat and since then I've never had motion sickness."


"Iv'e struggled with acne for years now.Once I started using Acanya, Ziana, and Solodyn, I can see a huge difference with my face . I had really bad acne and you could clearly tell it was there. I tried everything you could possibly think of and so far these products are the only ones that have been helpful. I would recommend seeing a dermatoligist if you have bad acne, they will most likely give you these products.Just wanted to share my experience, hope you find help with it."


"I have had all 3 shots and my knees feel good, NO pain. The shots were spread out 3 weeks in a row, the 2nd week it hurt some but not as bad as the Knee pain I had. I can tell you how nice it is not to have pain."


"I started on Votrient May 4, 2013.  I take it at bedtime, which has really helped.  I took it for about 24 days back in December, during the day, and side effects were far worse.  So far, the side effects are more tolerable than Sutent. I do have high blood pressure and low platelets, but doctor is doing labs weekly.  Some days the side effects are worse than others.  I went to 800 mg last week and have more fatigue.  I pray it works for my lung tumors as I have heard it has for others."


"After many surgeries beginning in 3003 with bilateral mastectomies, then 7 rib pain from broken surgeries on my right leg/knee I have had to use many pain medications and have now been left with one leg longer, residual shingles nerve pain, rib pain. Hydrocodone has proven to be adequate to handle the different types of discomfort left after any and all treatment is now done.  I have had good results from this particular generic.  Others used, Activis, Watkins, have caused irritability, severe itching of the scalp and face without rash and less control over the pain and aching.  Quality of life is so important."


"I've had it for 1 year. I bleed for 1 month straight starting the day after it was inserted. My hormones was out of whack. I was irritable, moody! My face broke out in NASTY pimples on my face chest and back. (I'm on prescribed acne medicines now) but overall no pregnancy. My moods balanced out, eventually. My cycle comes once a month, it's really light, but last 10-14 days."


"I have generalized anxiety disorder. Before I was prescribed Klonopin I was at the verge of losing my job, house, even my family. I couldn't stop worrying, stressing and overwhelming myself. I had no energy to even play with my kids. Once I started taking this medicine it brought me back to living and enjoying life, family, even performing better at work. I really recommend this medicine if you have generalized anxiety disorder, it works like a miracle."


"I have had fibromyalgia for 12 years and have been on high doses of morphine,durogesic patches, methadone, and many other narcotics. I am now on 225mg of lyrice twice a day and low doses of opana. I feel like a new person, never though it would every happen.  I feel like a did years ago and I am 63 now but am able to do most of the things I was able to to before the fibro hit me. I can"t work my old job as an RN but I can do most things. Some days are better than others but this is a great drug."


"I started to take Paxil 12years ago. I was getting depressed because of my panic disorder. I have been on Xanax for many many years and my doctor added Paxil. 30mg a day in the morning. I have never had a side effect not even weight gain and I know this can cause weight gain. It works great for me for my depression and my panic attacks. Would highly recommend this drug. I am a skinny person anyway, because of my panic but I never had any side effects. Good luck all."


"Tried the 145 and the 290.  I am so disappointed that neither worked."


"My cat was given Buprenex oral after surgery.  I'm assuming it worked on his pain but now that he's off of it he's "seeing ghosts in the house" and slinking around in fear.  Hallucinations are one of the side effects.  Just letting other pet parents know what can happen.  I'm sure it will wear off but for now it's just upsetting to watch."


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"I started taking florinef a few months ago and while I haven't noticed a difference, I believe it is keeping my symptoms from progressing. Before I went on it my body was on a downward fall but as soon as I started taking it everything was stable. It has made me gain about 5-10 pounds of water weight but it's not too bad. This drug along with my other medicine allows me to live my life better."


"Good"


"My vet gives this drug to my dog. He has C.H.F because of this he has been able to breath better and can now sleep better. Before he would cough blood and fluid."


"Was on various birth control pills, last one being Loestrin. Very moody, 15 lb. weight gain, acne (I NEVER breakout). I've been on Generess for about 4 months and it has been great. I actually LOST weight, my skin is back to being clear and my mood swings are very mild. Besides mild break through spotting at times, I have been very pleased with the results of this birth control."


"Fioricet is truly a wonder drug. I'm had migraines since I was 15 (27 now) and if you take it right when the headache starts, lay down for 30 minutes, you'll feel rejuvenated. BUT, Fioricet can cause rebound headaches (headaches that one gets when they are used to taking a medicine for a while), so while it may be hard to just take one pill when your head is throbbing and you have things to do, it will pay off in the long run. So try to alternate with other medicines in there so your body doesn't get used it. Because I rebounded from Fioricet which means I have chronic daily migraines = no fun. In conclusion, great medicine. "


"Gave it to my daugher (4 yrs.), couple of days later, she had hives allover her body, and hands swollen real bad. She had an allergic reaction to this medicine. Wish I read the reviews before."


"I've been on adipex for 11 months now and I've dropped 117 pounds! I didn't exercise only took the pill and cut out everything bad (even though it taste good, doesn't always make it healthy for you) eating wise. Sugar, flour, bread, pastas, FASTFOOD, and even eating after a certain time. I started eating healthy snacks every two hours, ( egg whites, cottage cheese, bag of steamers vegetables, lots of chicken, belvita snacks, carrots and peanut butter etc,and drinking lots of water! Do this and I promise you'll drop weight immediately."


"Can't  live without it"


"This drug works wonders!!! I suffered from cystic acne for 4 years and lots of blackheads on and around my nose. I have been on accutane for 3 months now and I can officially say I'm acne free! It took about 2 months to really start seeing results. Just stay with it ya'll! you will not regret it. As for side effects, they are tolerable."


"I just have to write this because what people told me seems to be right. People only come on these sites to complain. So I'm here to give a positive review. I just finished my first dose of suprep and ran through the runs that go along with it. I did feel nausea about half way through the dose but it fades quickly once I started drinking slower. It kicked in in about an hour and lasted for about 2 hours. After the initial nausea passed I had no issues whatsoever. It did its job. It didn't give me cramps or headache.

Also the taste really isn't terrible. I'd compare it to salty Gatorade. Just don't take huge swigs of it and you'll be fine.

Overall I'm not too nervous about my second dose. Not a terrible experience at all."


"I've been taking Seroquel (100mgs) for 2 months now.  It's been great.  I've had treatment resistant depression for years and have taken every antidepressant on the market with little to no help.  I was running out of energy and time.  After trying Abilify (bad akathesia), Lamictal (still taking), we tried Seroquel and within a 2 week period I was back in life.  What a wonderful gift.  I'm very thankful.  Also, I've had refractory insomnia that has been alleviated as well."


"it caused me to gain 30 pounds"


"My experience with Yaz wasn't great. While it eliminated my migraine headaches and made my period shorter, lighter, and diminished PMS symptoms - it gave me an awful intermittent tingling sensation in and around my extremities, a dull pain at the base of my skull, vertigo, heart racing and dizzy spells; not to mention a few near syncope experiences - one of which landed me in the ER. My OBGYN tells me I'm "pill sensitive." I was on Yaz for only three weeks from March-April. I am a 32 year old, slender, busy career-oriented woman. I did not gain weight on this pill. In fact, I believe it suppressed my appetite and I lost about five pounds while on it.  Sensitive women may be disappointed. Still recovering from scary symptoms."


"Tried everything before Botox. This was miraculous!"


"After a week of using Jalyn, among other less severe side effects, I developed a severe hip joint area inflammation that got so bad that I could hardly walk. Had XRAY and MRI done and no issues with the hip joint. I quit taking and switched to AVODART and have had no side effects and has helped without any noticeable side effects. Took 5 weeks for hip area to go back to normal. "


"Gabepentin is the one medicine that absolutely works on my intractable MS pain, out of the many I take. However after 15 yrs of increasingly higher doses (I take 1300 mg per day), I find I have blurry vision. It's working so well on my pain that I'm not giving it up yet."


"I had it for 3 years and it didn't get me pregnant but I did gain 30 pounds and acne problem started after a year. My sex life went down a lot."


"I have been in severe pain for 10 years.  I had a 360 back surgery done on the 18th, the pain is so bad that I still have I can hardly stand it.  My surgeon sent me to a pain management doctor, and he put me on. This Nucynta ER 50mg twice a day, I do not sleep, I wake up in the wee hours of the morning just screaming in pain.  The pain management doctor said to give it time to work, ok have taken it for two days and no reliefs in sight. Have called and called, supposed to wait till Friday and call again, but can not take much more of this pain I am in."


"I've found clonidine to be unparalleled at preventing anxiety of the restless and impatient type. I.e. the kind of anxiety that keeps me from sitting in one place. I take clonidine before any engagement where I must sit for a while, e.g., waiting rooms, court rooms and so on. Places where some patience is in order. Clonidine is the best for this. The only side effect is a very slight dry mouth, and that only happens sometimes."


"Last month Aug 24th my left knee operation has done for meniscus tear. Post operation doctor suggested synvisc one. It's cost 17991 rupees in Vijayawada. I was shocked finally I got the injection on my left knee. Before going to injection I red all the reviews in websites about the injection I feel like it badly hurts. After this all those things finally yesterday 20th Sep 2016 went to hospital taken the injection there is no pain and all like small mosquito bite. Thanks"


"I have been taking 1mg Xanax 4 times daily for 25 years. IT IS THE GREATEST MEDICINE FOR DEPRESSION EVER! No, it does not make me druged-sluggish or anything BAD. Xanax lifts me up when I get down and I do not even want to think about never having Xanax. I know of several friends and family members it would change their life FOR THE BETTER if their Doctors would only prescribe it to them. Of course they should not start on the dosage I take but at least get them started and take it from there.... The antidepressant's JUST DON'T DO IT FOR ME. I have tried several over the YEARS and they just make things worse for me. Xanax allows me to be happy and tolerate the "TOUGH TIMES"."


"DO NOT TAKE AUGMENTIN! I am healthy (run marathons-no pre-existing cond.) & never take meds. I was prescribed this for headache (after vehicle accident) and a little sinusitis at Onpoint. I was so sick & after 5 days (my heart starting hurting, lost all healthy bacteria (worst diarrhea & stripped stomach lining) had fiery red rash after 10 days all over my body! It took 2 wks for the rash to go away after I got off Augmentin. My body systems have never been same!! destroyed them.THIS IS TOXIC tell your doctors too). If you MUST take antibiotic use something safer. Also, my husband (really healthy) didn't quite believe me. He was prescribed it he was flat on his back/couch vomiting & couldn't MOVE after 2 days! he stopped immediately"


"I was prescribed this medication a month ago after finding strange cysts. It was supposed to stop my period. I had finally gotten my period down to 4 or 5 days, once a month, after my second surgery last year. But, now I'm bleeding pretty much everyday. I need to wear a pantyliner at all times, which is no fun. I still have endo pain. I've gained 6 lbs in one month. I keep snapping at people. When I'm not easily irritated, I'm extremely depressed.I've also been quite forgetful, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this medication since I haven't seen anyone else write about it.  I tend to have breakouts, so I don't think that has changed. I hope that I won't be on this much longer."


"I've been on this pill for a few months. It's been great. Regulated my period, made it lighter and shorter, reduced cramping and pms symptoms. Occasionally during month one I had some headaches. Otherwise no side effects."


"I was on this birth control for less than 2 months.  My experience hasn't been good at all using this product.  The application sites (shoulders and upper arms) where I placed the patch had very dark and red spots as if I had 2nd degree burns after I took the patch off.  I also experienced extreme itchiness at those sites while the patch was on and even after it was taken off.  I also experienced spot periods while on the patch.  Cramping for me was intense while on the patch.  I also seemed to have a dry cough while on the product.  I couldn't sleep while on the patch due to really bad headaches.  This product was a nightmare.  I'm going to have to consider other birth control methods."


"I've been on this birth control for about a year now. I have had no negative side effects and I'm really glad my doctor recommended it. It even has helped clear up my skin."


"Viagra. I salute you."


"I was on Diane 35 for seven yrs (15-23 my skin was amazing) What I didn't realize was that Diane Caused me to gain a lot of weight, I put it on almost immediately (age 15) and struggled with weight issues and an eating disorder. When I stopped Diane at 23 to have kids, I quickly lost about 15 lbs (5lbs of water) and my insane appetite as well.  After children I wanted to go back on Diane for nice skin. I promptly gained the weight, eating issues returned! So I quit and decided to try spiro. 25 mg once a day. My skin started clearing immediately but Within 3 weeks I had weight gain, aged 5 yrs, along with other horrible side effects! Since quitting for two days I feel myself again! I'll stick with Skin Ceuticals Acne Kit and zinc supplements!!"


"Best med I've been on for my bi-polar.

I also take buspirone

And trazodone for sleep.

I been bi-polar since 21, I think I have taken ever drug there is for this illness. And since my Dr has put me on this drugs I'm finely stable for once in my life."


"This worked for a while then I started getting rebound headaches. I was waking up to excruciating headaches in the mornings after taking these at night after a period of time.  They can increase with intensity over time. If you find this happening to you.  You need to get off of them.  They are rebound headaches."


"1) hurt like hell going in, I don't care if it was only 30 seconds it was excruciating. (I've never given birth) 2) it did its job and prevented pregnancy the 8 months I was on it 3) made periods very heavy and longer 4) made my vagina smell awful!! And honest to goodness that has never happened so I knew it was the IUD ... Disgusting. I couldn't take smelling like an animal anymore so I got my bf to help me take it out. I'm not a doctor but if you hate paragard as much as I did and wanna save yourself a copay then spread em and let your dude pull it out with tweezers. 5) didn't feel anything upon removal"


"I have been using the patch for 2 months now and I like it. Made my periods lighter and my breast bigger. Things that I don't like that sometimes I peel it off by mistake (scary though) and is hard to hide in public. But is works well. I like the results. 90 percent recommended."


"I have been taking otezla for about 5-6 months.  My psoriasis is almost non-existent.  I experienced zero side effects at any point.  Highly recommend for people to give it a try. I literally  cannot even tell that I once had a major issue with psoriasis."


"I am 39 years old and had smoked for 15  years.  I started taking Chantix Christmas eve 2011. After the second week I was able to stop smoking altogether because the taste and smell of cigarette repulsed me. I did however have intense dreams (not bad ones) extremely vivid.  And mood swings were common for the first few weeks.  The third week on I would catch myself drifting off. I also felt as though I could not get enough water.  At the end of the first month I quit. And had only one night where I smoked since being off Chantix.  I will start taking Chantix tomorrow to try and kill the remaining urges I have.  So in short with brief aggressive tendencies, extreme dehydration, and vivid awake like dreams, this has still worked."


"I've just finished my treatment for a urinary tract infection.  I no longer have any symptoms from the infection.  First 8 days of a 15 day treatment was fine with no side effects.  Beginning the 9th day, I began experiencing a mild rash and itching which seem to begin on my chest and neck and migrated to my back.  A bit of a nuisance but tolerable.  Around the 11th day, I began to experience mild joint and muscle ache and a tender scalp around the base of the skull.  Acetaminophen and ibuprofen have helped to overcome this but by the 14th and 15th day, I felt like a had the flu with no nausea but a loss of appetite.  I took the last pill this morning and by 1PM, had to lay down with chills, aches and pains, headache and a slight fever."


"I have been taking spironolactone for a month now for my acne conglobata and it is as if I have been taking nothing at all. Some the symptoms I have had are depression, fatigue, drowsiness, hand and feet tingling and itchy, confusion, and just an out of it feeling in general."


"This drug makes you gain a ridiculous amount of weight in just a few days.
I've been taking zyprexa for 2 months and gained almost 9kg. It's terrible because of its side effects. As someone who was just at the right weight for my height I'm afraid I'll not stop gaining weight and my borderline and depression will get worse. I feel self conscious about my body now, I feel fat and my anxiety is also getting worse. Sadly I can't recommend this medication."


"Been on hydrocodone for over ten years, have good control of pain now out of no where my provider decided that is not what I needed, it has ruined my life. I have been put on gabapentin, it makes me brain dead and does not take away my chronic pain. I am in agony."


"It is really effective. I had a lot of treatment for my acne but it never went. I was hopeless a then my doctor prescribed Duac to me I used and it really worked but when I stop using it my acne comes back."


"I get stones frequently, have had lythotripsy for two of them. Finally I saw a new urologist and she gave me Flomax. I had Zero side effects. It didn't make me pee more often but when I did go it was like a raging river and moved my stone rift on out quickly. I will never have another stone without being prescribed Flomax and I tell any of my friends who get stones to use it. Also when I did pee it completely emptied my bladder/kidneys and relieves so much pressure. Life saver for sure !!!!"


"I am a female, 29 years old and have never battled depression until my dad passed away. My crying and irritablity just getting worse as months went on. I have been on Lexapro for only 2 days but I have noticed a difference in my mood. The very first day I felt a "high", "weird" sense. It made me sleepy but then restless in the middle of the night BUT I have been already feeling better mood-wise. I am going to try and tough it out because I have more good than bad. We'll see!"


"I experience mood swings, break outs, and cramps during the first two weeks. After that I have not had any issues. I did not spot for the first two months. On the third month I took the pill 4 hours late and I spotted lightly for two days. My skin is flawless. I had no weight gain. I have no crazy mood swings. Its the perfect pill. Oh and my breast increased about a cup size. The breast tenderness I experienced was a minimum soreness for a month. I recommend Seasonale!"


"To anyone taking Lexapro or any antidepressant:  DO NOT believe all the negative reviews you read here or elsewhere.  Do not let them scare you away from taking one of these drugs.  The drugs are not miracle workers, but they do help some by taking the edge off and by not letting you obsess on your feelings and thoughts.  You have to give them time, at least SIX WEEKS. If no improvement, up the dose per your Dr's permission or switch to another. The side effects are mild, and that is despite what anyone says to the contrary.  Antidepressants work best in combination with psychotherapy, but they are also effective when taken by themselves.  You will eventually feel better."


"I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer (very early stage) at age 40. As an alternative to hysterectomy, I tried hormone therapy: 160 mg Megace every day. endometrial thickness dropped from approximately 2 cm to a few mm in 6 months. No change in appetite. Skin oil production in the face dropped, which was great as I normally have oily skin. I had small uterine fibroids before Megace, which started to grow big and fast, which was the worst side effect."


"The first time I took this it threw me into massive withdrawal which was unbearable for about 24 hours because I still had opiates in my system. So I never went near it again for years.  Now, I am taking 8mg a day for the last 6 months. I will always put this medicine on a pedestal because if you want to change your lifestyle and be drug free this will definitely help you achieve your goal. SUBUTEX -  I cannot sing its praises enough and that's coming from someone who would not even consider it at one stage."


"Switched to Mibelas after many years on Minastrin and felt awful.  Tired, moody, dizzy- just overall yuck! Much rather pay more to feel better!"


"Iv had an awful  year with my cycle . Last October  i got the depo (the injection) was due to get my 2nd one in January. But i passed because  from the end of November 2015 until April 2016 i had constant bleeding every day from 9-1 and 4-8 . It finally stopped and i went may june and july with no period  it was great but then i got them back the end of July and the pain was unbearable went on for 2 weeks i rang my doc explained everything and she has put me on the patch . So far i love it this is only my 3rd week so still early days but my cycle is starting  to return to normal  the only side effect im having is im very low on energy but nothing  a berocca or two wont cure "


"I thank God everyday for this medication. I have pain in both of my knees and my lower back and both feet has spurs. I am only 47 yrs old, without Oxycontin I would not have a good life. I thank the makers of the wonderful pill because I can enjoy my life without suffering with pain. "


"What the heck is in this? I have used this a few times before, but have never had such pain and burning.  I just want to stick an ice cube up there!! This is day 3 of the 3 day...the first two nights burned a little, but this dosage is horrific.  Trying to squeeze it out right now so I can hopefully get some sleep! NEVER again!!!!"


"It has NEVER worked for a sinus infection. I just finished 2 of the 5 day dose packs and 3 days later has a fever of 102 with a massive infection still raging."


"56 yr old female. 6 weeks of humira no change at all :/  still using clobetasol and hydrocortisone along with it no change :("


"I was Prescribed this for neuralgia. However I noticed after a few weeks my irritable bowel syndrome was gone. GONE! When my Dr wanted to switch me to Gabapentin for the nerve pain. I insisted on continuing nortriptyline. I would rather have the nerve pain than irritable bowel syndrome.
Word of caution- when I was increased to ~60mg day I became severely constipated with abdominal pain. This medicine can cause paralytic ileus so be careful. I take 10-20mg day and seem to be okay."


"I used to take Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo prior and stopped for about 4-5 years until getting back on birth control about 4 months ago. My gynecologist recommended this particular brand and so I thought I would give it a try. It reminds me of my previous birth control. I had no negative side effects whatsoever (but every woman's body is different.) I'm thin framed (5'9") but gain weight in my breasts and butt. My weight never fluctuates past 120. Prior to the birth control I tried gaining weight but could never gain more than 108lbs due to diet change (vegan). Thankfully enough this birth control helped me gain about 7lbs. After the 2nd month of taking the birth control I went from a full B cup to a full C. No complaints here. They're perkier too."


"An amazing medication considering the earlier antiphsycotics available, I think its more expensive that could effect availability.  I do suffer from shaky hands but its the only side effect noticed.I take 20mg at night, it doesn't make me sleepy, no weight gain or hangover effect. Don't increase the dose it doesn't help it just gives restless legs and I was informed a dangerous to increase"


"Relieves most allergy symptoms."


"I've been using Testim for just 6 days now,  based on low free-T and low sex drive. One 50mg tube of the 1% creme a day.
Can't say I notice anything about it except a very strong smell.
It is very possible however, that my wife likes the smell - she seems to be much more "interested" in me just since I've been applying the stuff."


"I have horrible nerve pain. Neither vicodin, oxycontin, morphine or any other opium based medicine worked. Plus my body had gotten used to the other pain pills. The actiq was AMAZING! It almost completely rid me of the pain (1000x stronger than morphine) and it is measured in micrograms (Mcg)it is so powerful. It was perfect for my burning nerve pain, and nerve spasms. Easiest drug to get BOTH chemically AND mentally addicted. Be careful"


"Lamictal saved my life.  The manic issues were getting severe and I had no way of handling these issues. I have no side effects and I have my life back.  I enjoy life again."


"I have taken Lutera for about a year and a half.  It is great at preventing babies and it has made my periods much better.  I do not bleed as much and my cramps are nothing compared to what they were.  However, I have gained weight - about 20 lbs.  I have tried to lose the weight and have lost a little but I have never had to try so hard to lose weight.  Much of the time it is a losing battle because since Lutera I always seem to have hunger pains.  Also, at times I feel very tired and taking caffeine only helps a little bit."


"Was taking it for 6 months. Side affects were bad headaches every bone joint ached and stiff. Moody depressed and memory was bad. Will be going on tamoxifen hope it's not as bad."


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


"I have been on harvoni for 8 weeks now, first set of blood work was negative fingers crossed tomorrow when I do the second set....4 more weeks to go. I am stage 3-4 genotype 1a ...I've been on two different treatments both failed. I have had side effects, headaches, mood swings,depression and fatigue BUT it is worth it if I am clear of hep- c. I am very grateful, I fought my insurance company for year to get Harvoni."


"I've been on 10mg now for 4 weeks.  I was on zoloft before that and was noticing tiredness and being unmotivated to do anything.

While weaning off zoloft and being on brintellix i did notice more energy and better mood, but now I seem back to how I was before.  My doctor just upped my dose to 20mg and said that should help.

I did notice increased appetite and it feels like I am hungry ALL the time!  I hope this stops soon."


"I've been on it now for a month and I've been very moody, angry, and just wanting to be by myself. I've gained 5 extra pounds, but as far as acne goes its been clear. I've been getting really bad headaches, and wanting to throw up after I eat. It seems like I've gotten all the side effects."


"It has been a great medicine to help with my anxiety.  I feel much calmer and more in control of my circumstances.  I have, however, also had the sexual side effects of a lower libido and difficulty with ejaculation"


"this medication saved my life...I actually like the mylan better than the vivelle as far as the way I feel, the vivelle caused sinus problems and gassy bloat, the mylan product did not for me, however the mylan product doesn't stick as well or last as long....OVERALL: I love estrogen replacement and it is a TRAGEDY that women are suffering and their docs are not offering HRT when it is now proven that HRT prolongs life and has a protective influence on heart, bones and brain.  I want to tell every woman out there do not be a hero, do not suffer, and do not be afraid.  estrogen is good for you and can give you your life back.  why do none of the women I talk to know this? crime!!"


"So far it's been my first week taking it and I am not impressed. I've been nauseous everyday this week, gotten severe headaches, and now I am worried that my relationship is gonna be ruined because of the side effects this pill has on me. It's making me look and act like a total cow. which I'm usually not.

I'm also very annoyed  that my doctor switched me to this without warning. Jublier is a better brand."


"I'm 27 years old and the mother of two boys. I had the Mirena inserted one and a half years ago. The insertion was fine, mild cramping, but for the last year and a half I have experienced depression, bad acne, weight gain of about ten kilos, mood swings. Six months ago once my periods stopped altogether the symptoms got worse. I began having stomach cramps, nausea on most days, painful breasts and diminished libido and when it was supposed to be that time of the month my abdomen would bloat. I had Mirena removed last week and feel like a new person. I'm already losing weight and all the other symptoms have vanished."


"I have been recently diagnosed with the disease called BIH which occurs mostly in women and very young children and currently taking Diamox with annoying side effects such as pins and needles in feet, hands and lips which can last up to 2 hours at a time and be painful. I wake every night with interrupted sleep with a headache or temperature! I have been turned off a lot of food but mainly fizzy drinks."


"I have suffered from performance anxiety for a few years. When it came to my turn to talk in a meeting I would have what is known as a panic attack, and for those of you that have not experienced this it is horrible. I would somehow manage to get through these talks. As soon as the talk would finish my mind would instantly go to worrying about the next talk next week, a living circle of constant anxiety.

I was prescribed Propranolol. I had to stand up and do a 5 min presentation to about 20 people. I took 40mg 1 hr prior waited for my turn to go and....nothing! no heart beat, no trembling, no sweats! I was a totally different person and will now use this medicine whenever I have to do a talk. I highly recommend it."


"I've had IBS for years but when I had colon surgery 3 years ago, I started to really have problems with chronic severe diarrhea--10 to 12 x's a day. I was miserable, leaking, wearing Depends, just depressed about no solution. Finally I found a doctor who prescribed Lomotil--2 tabs--4 x's a day and it worked! And without any side effects. I'm now down to 2 or 3 doses a day and feeling so much better."


"My doctor just prescribed me Treximet after my other medication wasnt working.  I took it for the first time over the weekend.  My head felt like it was on fire.. I see flushing is a side effect, but this was horrible.  I couldnt touch my head, I could feel my hair follicles my head was so sensitive. The heat eventually made its way to my neck and shoulders.  I was so uncomfortable until I fell asleep.  I did wake up with my migraine gone, so that was a plus, but I would have preferred not to have dealt with the head on fire feeling, it was worse than my migraine.  I'm talking with my doctor about it, maybe its something that goes away, or maybe I'm allergic.  Pro: it worked Con: Painful side effect."


"My 6 yr old son started on an ADHD regimen about 8 months ago.  We started on Concerta, increased dosage 3 different times, and switched to Vyvanase.  We have increased it to 30 mg and it still is not working.  However, now the moodiness, extreme sadness, and impulsiveness is much worse while on Vyvanse.  I really am considering just dealing with the ADHD without medicinal help.  I feel sorry for the little guy.  This is not what I want him to be like."


"This thing works! I can't imagine having a child I can't support. Long story short, heat of the moment unprotected sex with a woman I wasn't in a relationship with. I irresponsibly came inside of her during sex but I kept going. We took the plan B pill about a hour and a half  after our incident and the stress began. I got sick from stressing and was relieved to find out that it worked. A little FYI, I didn't know her cycle and she was very tall for a woman so I'm assuming she was over the weight limit so mythical busted. Thank Jesus for Plan B! If you take it early and before she has ovulated, you're pretty much golden. I learned my lesson for sure."


"Out of the blue I started experiencing anxiety, I was nervous for no reason and having anxiety about anxiety! I tried change my diet and so on. Then I had the mother of all panic attacks (I'd never had one). I quickly realized that I needed to talk to my doctor. I tried zoloft and celexa, both gave me terrible side effects. I stuck with zoloft for 2 months and wasnt feeling any better so I went off discouraged.  Then I started on cymbalta. Its been about 5 months with zero side effects. I realized a few days ago that the meds must be working, on a particularly stressful day I felt a panic attack coming on but it just didn't materialize into anything. Then I realized I really haven't been nervous for sometime. It can get better :) 40mg"


"Doctor told me to quit taking this but I like it because it works."


"As my nickname says I have been very quiet and most of my life. Always worried and anxious since a child, I came to the US when on my 30s and years later, I think the stresses of life and my personality put me in a severe anxiety with depression and several panic attacks. I was thinking I would die!. Went to Psychiatrist did not trust on him first time, I did not want to take the medicine and I got worse! I started taking lexapro 10 mg, it helped me so much, I had that hope on it that I didn't remember side effects. I used also the benzodizepines and ambien to be calmer and get some sleep. Like 3 months later didn't take more benzo ,and/or ambien. I have been in this medicine since March 2014, today is March 2016. Been reduced now to half"


"I just recently started taking it (a little less than 2 weeks ago). The first day I was very giddy and kept getting a tingly feeling from my head to my toes.  Than it stopped after the second day but I did experience the hot sweats, loss of appetite, nausea and lack of sleep. The sleep was the worst thing! I woke up almost every hour every night for 2 weeks straight!  I was either waking up and feeling wired or waking up because of the hot sweats and I'm only 23!  If you want advice, do not take caffeine until some of these side effects go away because it will make you way more wired than usual and you'll feel very uncomfortable.  Also, do not DRINK ALCOHOL. 1 sip of wine and felt dizzy for at least an hour!"


"I'm suffering from sciatica and was really excited after reading the reviews in here. I've been to the Dr & Hospital  and nothing they give me works at all. Backaid Max did nothing for my pain so save yourself the money and just ride it out, because this stuff doesn't help."


"I've been on Apri since I was 16 and am now 24. I love being on Apri. I've never had a problem with it. My libido has never decreased nor have I gotten acne. If anything both have gotten exponentially better over time. My periods have gotten lighter, shorter and less painful as well. I really recommend it."


"Had to stop after two months. I got depressed and suicidal, constantly crying. I'm normally extremely happy person, laugh at everything. I got really bad body acne. Painful cramping."


"I had the skyla inserted a few days ago and I love it! I wasnt on my period when I went so my doc gave me 1mg Xanax waited then gave me 2mg Xanax tyloneol 4 and a cortisone shot waited in the waiting room with my mom, 15 minutes and I was out of it 2 nurses carried me back there don't remember the procedure at all nurse had to help me get dressed went back to waiting room told mama I wanted burger king fell asleep in the car an slept the whole day. They prescribed me 800mg ibuprofen haven't had to take it once, already had sex. So far so good"


"I have been using Avonex since October 2008. When the pen was made available, I was ecstatic!! This meant I didn't have to rely on my husband to do the syringe injection, without seeing a needle, I could do it myself.

I used the pen for about 2.5 year's. In that time, several mishaps occurred, the blue button wouldn't work, the needle fell out, the final problem:the needle stuck in my leg after pulling the pen from my leg!!! Needless to say, I am back to depending on my husband again. The flu-like symptoms are the same with both forms of injection.  I would go back to the pen in a heartbeat it was been improved and dependable."


"I have been taking Savella since March and I feel great. This is a drug that reduced pain with minimal side effects.
It took about a month to kick in and unlike Cymbalta and Lyrica I do not have any brain fog or dry mouth. Still a bit tired but I attribute that to the fibromyalgia. I did well on Cymbalta but after 2 years it stopped being effective.  Lyrica made me disoriented and foggy. I recommend Savella, based on my own very positive experience.
This is not a classic antidepressant and is specific for fibromyalgia. Glad I found it and will continue using it.  I have more energy and no pain."


"I've taken Ambien more than 10yrs ago had a scary reaction,  I've also taken OTC Sleep Aids including Benadryl is a complete waste sometimes with Benadryl I'd end up waking up in middle of night having to take more & so on!  LUNESTA IS THE ONLY THING THAT EVER WORKED FOR ME. I'd take it 30 mins before bed but my husband would literally have to pick me up off couch and put me in bed because it worked faster than 30 mins I'd wake up feeling fabulous...I also can tell you when I was pregnant in my last trimester they gave me 5mg of Ambien bc they didn't know much about Lunestas effects during pregnancy...so I took half of 5mg didn't work took entire 5mg didn't work!  LOVE LUNESTA!"


"This is the first birth control pill I have ever been on and I have been taking it since January. It is good for the most part. However, when I first started the pill, I bled for about three weeks straight like a crazy period and I am constantly dealing with bleeding between periods. Often it seems to be caused by having sex with my boyfriend. Sex seems to be a trigger to start bleeding. I'm still the same happy person I was before I started the pill, I just bleed a whole lot more than I used to."


"Not sure what this is suppossed to help. Still sneezing, couching, watery eyes. Feel like I'm drowning! Been several months and finally I give up. Need better medicine!"


"Silenor is a great medication (I tried many) with no side effects or a feeling of dizziness the next morning, that is usual for most of insomnia drugs that I was on."


"I'm new to taking birth control. Had a very normal cycle before, regular as clockwork for 27 years. I decided on this pill BC its a "mini" & thought maybe a good way to ease in to BC . 5 weeks into taking Deblitane I noticed my breasts were always sore and full. My skin was more oily & I've gotten the worst case of breakouts (big, red pimples on my cheek and a series of breakouts along my jawline). I haven't had a period. However leading up to when my period is usually due (I tracked my cycles for years) I started having cramps feeling bloated & lasted for a few days (almost a week). My mood was fine. Sex drive has been low. Finally called my doc and switching off it to something with out hormones mainly to fight  this bad case of acne."


"Had TURP 3 years ago - put on Tamsulosin 6 months ago. Whilst I can still urinate the flow is weak and I still have to get up 3 to 4 times every night. Unable to determine any improvement- no or little semen since taking Tamsulosin."


"I have been taking this medication only recently for my anxiety/ depression. I've recently suffered the loss of a baby and was having a very difficult time. For 4-5 months I had no appetite, nausea, headaches, fever, what felt like the never ending flu/cold. The first time taking this was at night and I didn't notice much change however the next time I took it in the AM...BAD idea! I am not much of a breakfast person so perhaps that tied into it as well but it made me so sick I had to leave work. Since then I have been taking it later in the day (dinner time) and I have been feeling much better, we'll see how it goes as time goes on :)"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I started a clean diet a day in a half prior to the procedure. I then made the solution and refrigerated it that morning. I sucked on a lemon slice and then drank the stuff for 4 times every 15 minutes. When finished it took about an additional hour and 15 to start. No problems, worked fine.
The trick clear liquids a day and a half prior.
 Happy squatting to all, and use flushable wipes and end with toilet paper to dry."


"Had minor irritation and suspected a y/i. Got this product and put it in, almost immediately I felt the burn. Its like putting rubbing alcohol on your bits. Then shaving the inside if your vagina. I couldn't even pull up my pants. I went to bed and lasted like 10 minutes before I had to run to the bath and wash it all off and try and get it out."


"I have been taking contrave for about 5 weeks now. I am 5'2", my starting weight was 188 and I am now 20 pounds down. 3 pounds away from my pre pregnancy of 165, hoping to lose around 15-20 more. So far this medication is working amazing. I take my doses at night, unfortunately I cannot take them during the day due to nausea but that is about the only side affect I have gotten."


"I took the peginterferon/ ribaviran therapy in 2008 unsuccessfully.  AFter 4 weeks of Harvoni I am virus free with little side effects.  A few mild headaches and some fatigue.  I'll finish the 12 weeks of therapy with gusto !"


"I had folliculitis. My Doctor prescribed to me 500 mg 4 times a day for ten days. I had to stop at day 6. I had diarrhea up to 5 times a day. Then I got a yeast infection on my penis right after I stopped taking cephalexin. Currently, I have candida overgrowth and it is not going away. I wished I never took this antibiotic... it does more harm than it does help."


"It is the only medication I have found to really take care of my tension headaches. Works tremendously. You need to take it on the onset of your headache for it to work the best."


"When I started a week ago I was 294 and I%u2019m 5%u201910. I was nervous about the needle but the truth is you can hardly feel it, it%u2019s that thin. I started at .6 and after a few days I went up to 1.2. The other day I tried to go to 1.8 but I had a serious stomach ache all night long so I went back to 1.2. At 1.2 the side effects are mild. Headaches, a little nausea, slight rough throat and fatigue. I have lost 10 pounds in this week with minimal exercise, perhaps 10/15 minutes on the elliptical a night and some free weights. I%u2019m in love with this product. I have ZERO appetite. I have to force myself to eat and even then end up eating two bites and throwing the rest away. I%u2019m very hopeful this is the motivation I needed and it continues to work."


"I got it insterted April 2015 and it is now October. I haven't had any crazy side effects at all. My first period was a bit heavy but not bad. My next few were very light. But I suddenly stopped getting a period until now in October and it's quite normal- not heavy or light. I have always been sensitive but I feel like it might actually be giving me mood swings. Besides that everything is perfectly normal and I don't see any reason why anyone would not recommend it."


"Was prescribed for knee injury. I tried all sorts of SSRI,  SDRI , tricyclics,  etc. for unexplained depression. All of them had side affects so detrimental that it made me more depressed. Of course the so called doctors want to give you more drugs to counter the side affects all the while claiming your a border line heroin addict all the while having no idea what is causing the depression all the while suggesting it's all just maligned thought processes.Thank goodness I have arthritic knees. After taking tramadol by depression is gone . Fact. Every patient is different. Don't be pigeon holed.  I have been taking one 50mg per day for years. Works somehow. If it is placebo then why didn't all the other Meds work the same. For once I'd like to hear a Doctor just say " i dont know."


"Clonidine  1 mg  x 2 times a day did not lower my Blood Pressure enough. It brought it to 135/95, (without medicines my readings are 160/110 ). So now I am taking it 1.5 mg x 2 times (morning and at bedtime), and waiting to see if it helps to get back to 120/80. I also take Cozaar 50 mg once a day. Yes, dry mouth is a slight problem. But I just carry bottled water wherever I go. Cozaar gives me diarrhea, and the clonidine has a constipating effect. So they kind of cancel each other out. Clonidine also gives me slight dizziness, especially when I bend down to reach for something, and then get my head back up. If the head is not subject to sudden motion, I really have not felt dizziness to be a problem."


"I was put on coreg 25 mg 2 daily after a heart stent. Day by day I felt worse. I was very short of breath and my abdomin starting bloating and felt a lot of pressure in my abdomin especially about 4 hours after taking the coreg. Called the cardiologist told them my concerns and told them I thought it was my meds, they said no that it was not the meds to call my PCP. The symptoms got so severe I ended up in the ER and after a CT scan and blood work I was told it was the coreg making me feel this way. Just a horrible med for me. Doctors need to listen to their patients."


"Keeps my blood pressure well under control. I do have some erectile dysfunction but do not know if this drug causes it."


"I've only been on the patch for a few weeks but let me tell you... it's GREAT for anyone who is super sensitive to estrogen or any other hormone replacement! I couldn't even take the lowest dose of birth control because the hormones made my stomach so sick. I was unable to even move for weeks when I took the pill. Started the patch because I have incredibly low estrogen and I haven't had any nausea but a little fatigue. Probably more due to the fact that it's something "new" your body is dealing with. I haven't really had the increased sex drive like a lot of women mention but I definitely feel as though my mood has evened out and I'm less "high and low" like I used to be. Highly recommend this as a form of birth control."


"I have used plan b and the generic version a few times before and it has worked wonderful. However, that's not always the case. I had had sex and taken the pill about 24 hours after the encounter. Then found out two weeks later I was expecting. I'm elated about my child but wanted to warn others it's not a for sure method and isn't always 99.9% effective."


"So far, Aviane has been very effective. However, I've only completed one month of the pills, and when I got my period I had it for a full week. I'm sure that my body is still adjusting to the pills. Also, I've noticed a few more pimples around the time of my period, and a lot more emotional as well. Other than that its been great!"


"I am a White Female that was prescribed this med, and the results are pretty good.  It is covered by my health insurance, filled at a local pharmacy, and given by a nurse that visits our home.  I was concerned when I heard about side effects in others, although I feel well.  I am over 21, and hopefully this was a good med for me and others.  I am a nice girl, and thank you."


"I used to wake up every day feeling miserable and irritable. I found it hard to think clearly, concentrate & just live a somewhat normal day. I was first put on Sertraline and that didn't go so well.. I had really bad side effects (fatigue, depression, sporadic emotions) Took myself off that after about 2 months or so. I was then put on this medication! I saw results almost right away with 150ml daily for about 1.5 months with some side effects including dizziness & dry mouth/always thirsty (which I can deal with!) Then because I & my doctor felt there was room for additional improvement I went to the 300ml dose.. it's only been about 1-2 weeks on the higher dose but so far so good. No complaints! I can actually be free + feel normal again!"


"I have been struggling with social anxiety disorder and a low-level functioning depression for most of my life. Four years went by with no medication, and during this time I was very paranoid and lost all of my friends. It wasn't until I met my boyfriend that I saw I couldn't truly function this way. I finally admitted to myself that I might need to be on medication. It's been about two months and I feel awesome. I am taking 50mg everyday, and was able to go on a Christmas vacation where my boyfriend and I met each other's families. This would never have been doable before. I am thoroughly satisfied, and am so happy with my decision. I still have leftover anxiety symptoms but I am working on that in therapy."


"I would get so worked up with hives before an exam with my gynecologist, that I would have to cancel. One day I took a Benadryl (they usually come in 25 mg or 50 mg tablets, or in packs of two 25 mg tablets)- just 25 mg before my appointment, and it really took the edge off. I had no hives and was much more relaxed. I buy the generic brand at the Dollar Store. This is used in our house for insomnia, allergic reactions, stuffy noses, and what I had previously mentioned. It is not habit-forming, and at such low doses, it's easy to control. Just make sure you stay hydrated!

One word of caution to parents with young kids or teens- there have been many cases of suicide attempts and to trip out on."


"I absolutely loved this birth control. Was on it for 8 years and would still be on it now, except that when I switched jobs, my new insurance didn't cover it. No weight gain, super clear skin, no mood swings, light periods with no cramping and the convenience of not having to take a pill everyday. Couldn't feel it inside me at all and it never bothered my husband or me during intercourse. Highly recommend."


"I have been on Tivicay for about 2 weeks and I am experiencing water retention really bad in my legs. I will not be taking any more of this drug, I am going back to my Truvada I was not dealing with this when I was taking that drug"


"I don't know if it's me or what but I was given Demerol (along with Vistaril and Vicodin) after my ankle surgery and it hasn't helped at all. I was admitted to the hospital twice where I received Dilaudid. That did the trick. I had a screw removed from my ankle, which had shattered and the doctor drilled through my fibula bone. After I was released, I was given Vicodin to be taken one hour after my Demerol and Vistaril. That seemed to work. I was surprised that the Demerol needed a "kick" so to speak. I would definitely ask my doctor for something more again if I ever had to go back on it."


"Okay, so I've decided to share my experience. I have been on Chantix now for this would be start of day 4. It is irritating, I have been smoking but I'm not getting the effect I normally would. The smoke feels different, tastes different, and I'm starting to feel like they are a waste of time or that I just don't want one once I start one."


"I was taking clarithromcyin for sinusitis and it worked but I got severe back pain with the medication and a very nasty taste in my mouth.  My stomach hurt so then I started taking it with food and the pain never came back"


"Gabapentin really helps pain in my arms, legs and feet. I have been on Gabapentin for 2 years on and off. Took ages to get used to tight band feeling round head, vision problems and weight gain. The worst side effect is constipation and bloating. Sometimes I feel as if I can't breathe because I'm so bloated. Trying to keep taking them so that I can sleep at night and walk without so much pain in my feet."


"I am 45 years old now and I was able to quit after 27 years with the help of the nicoderm cq patch. It was a struggle but the patches did enough to keep me from finding  a  cigarette. I am now smoke free for 2 years and enjoy not smelling like a dirty ashtray and can breathe much easier. Thanks for your product nicoderm cq."


"I prefer this extended release version of  gabapentin.

The standard Gabapentin made me much too drowsy.

Although, this Med doesn't work as well in relieving my foot neuropathy, I can tolerate it much better in the extended release.

So, considering feeling less drowsy with relief or being in a fog with more relief, I prefer the Horizant."


"I am 22 and have been taking this medication for 4 months. I have horrible acne now that I didn't have before, on my face and my chest. I had a 2 week long period in the first month and haven't had one since but I still cramp at times. I've been extremely moody and depressed which isn't going away or decreasing. Also, I can't lose weight because I'm hungry all the time and always feel too miserable to exercise."


"Quick and painless procedure. I've had 2 kids and breastfeeding my 4 month old. No complications so far. It did start my period which lasted 4 days with mild to moderate, pretty normal, bleeding. The cramping I experienced the day of the implant procedure was mild and made better by tylenol. I love my paragard!"


"Bought the 1 day ovule pack of Monistat. I only thought I was miserable beforehand.... I inserted the ovule, applied the external cream, and went to bed. Within minutes, my insides and outsides were on fire and itching uncontrollably. After 30 minutes of absolute misery, I ran to the bathroom and used a couple of the cooling wipes to try to reduce symptoms. Afterwards, I went back to bed and it was only about 15 minutes til I was out of bed freaking out over the burning & itching.  I took 2 benedryl & a pain pill. Then, took a cool bath to try to control my extreme discomfort. After my bath, I am finally laying with no panties and the ceiling fan blowing at my "area". I am for the first time in 3 hours able to relax.

NEVER AGAIN!!!"


"Pacil 30mg is great. I can say finally after 4 months the depression veil has lifted. This drug works great but very slowly.  Give it time. It works!!"


"Wanted a low dose oral BC after being off for about a year & a half. Was rx'd Sronyx from PP. I wanted low dose because I've dealt with depression before. This pill made me absolutely crazy. I felt ok the first week but I've never been more irritable, moody & depressed. I've had anxiety & literally feel like another person. Can't wait for this to clear my system"


"For Narcolepsy adderall greatly improves daytime sleepiness."


"I'm 26, just celebrated my 1 year anniversary with my Mirena. I remember like if it was yesterday when I had it inserted. It was a very, very painful 30 seconds. My doctor said it would only be a pinch...ah definitely not JUST a pinch. It wasn't that my doctor did anything thing wrong, my doctor is the best, I just was not ready, or expected that kinda of pain. I luckily had taken two days off so I rested and I did have painful cramps. I was spotty for about a week after that.  Cramps are pretty bad but it beats worrying about being pregnant. Even though the insertion was painful, ladies I strongly recommend it to every woman who wants a reliable birth control."


"I have displaced discs and chronic disc degeneration and chronic pain throughout my cervical spine with shooting nerve pain all the way down through my buttocks and arms.  Taking Oxycodone helps tremendously. Works well with Neurontin.  Sometimes need to take a Naproxen to keep ahead of the pain, and anyone with chronic pain knows that you will never always stay ahead of the pain.  A word of advise: don't overdo it and get up to a higher dose if you can help it because getting back down to a lower dose means that you will have to "vacation" and experience horrible pain to get the tolerance controlled again. That said, Oxycodone is a wonderful medication.  Please don't use this recreationally. Real sufferers need this medication."


"I recieved medazilam, commonly called versed for my first colonoscopies, note versed is a amnesia drug they use so you "forget" how bad they treat you, and that you were in pain rather than relieve the trauma. I suffered anxiety,  long term amnesia, flashbacks and a PTSD-type reaction to the use of this drug. Not only did i loose the abity to lay down memory properly long term but the patches (it kinda feels like the connections are there of the bad experience you feel the trauma but you cant pin it on an exact block of memory) of the trauma remains i highly recomend the non-amnesic fentanyl instead for colonoscopies."


"I've been using it for 4 days and hasn't made the sores any better only worse . Waste of my hard earned money ."


"It made me gain weight about 40lbs and cause acne, other then that it worked very well for my Osteoarthritis in my neck. I have a fusion and have not been the same since. This medicine helped me with my pain. I got my life back. I still can't do everything but my pain is so much better!"


"I now wonder with me having this medication last year if it did not cause my Plantar Facitilitis that I have horribly.  I am on day 7 of 500 mg and I  am coughing so hard it makes me vomit. my tonsils have went down but  I do not sleep well and my mind always thinking. No down time. Stomach is upset and I am hungry but can't eat. I have 3 more days to go and I don't think I am going to continue."


"I've been taking Lunesta for about a month and cannot get any rest. Not sure if I need increase in the dosage. Yes, I have the bad taste. I take on empty stomach and stay up and just wait to go to sleep. Doesn't happen. "


"I just started using alprazolam for 3 weeks. From my mid teens years I have had nervous stomach symptoms which lead to multiple bowel movements a day, including sweating and numbing hands. Uncontrolled shaking of my feet or tapping on surfaces with hands. Because very little was know; my teachers would make me sit on my hands to control my twitches. I%u2019m now 50 years old, married for 25 years and still having panic disorders till this medication was started. Flying, small confided areas, in tight areas with many people, lack of bathrooms and just not being in control of my environment, would trigger an attack. I was embarrassed and covered my symptoms.  0.25mg of Alprazolam has helped me concentrate and control my racing thoughts. I feel in control and at peace in the most stressful situations. I thought not using it on the weekends would be okay, NOT SO, heart rate, numbing hands, trembling muscles and waking up in the middle of the night with racing thoughts were the outcome.  You%u2019re never too old to start this medication given your doctors approval."


"On day 1, no change in the symptoms. Day 2: I got diarrhea. Day: 3 no more fever and pain relief, diarrhea reduces as well. Day 4: No fever, no diarrhea and a little headache. Days 5 to 7: I forgot I was sick, had to put reminders on the phone in order to remember to follow the 7 days prescription. Worked for me."


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


"I live in the Uk so we get drugs etc free. This drug is only available via a specialist at a hospital and is carefully mointored. I'm 40yrs old and had painful large sports since I was 12, I have tried everything, so now I've hit 40 and had a family decided to try it. I lasted 15 days of 20g a day. I thought at my age I would have less to worry about that a teenager. I could cope with the dry skin and cracked lips but the headaches and joint pain was horrific. I stopped taking 5 days ago but still am in constant pain & have a headache have been told these side effects could last up to 30 days. I have never suffered side effects from any drugs I have taken until I took this. If you are planning to take this please consider carefully."


"I've had nothing but issues but I have not had a pregnancy scare at all and that's why I rated it 3/10. I received my shot September 19, I got my period October 14, bled for 21.5 days and then 2.5 days later started to bleed again for, so far, another 10 days. In 34 days, I've bled 31.5 days. It's absolutely draining, my hormones are out of control, and it's impeding on every day life. I'm being treated for acne with Sprionolactone and my cystic acne came back with a vengeance. If I knew any of this would be a potential side effect, I would've just waited for my referral to my gyno and deal with the 1 BC method rather than 2 (condoms). Overall, this has been a TERRIBLE experience and I can't wait until it wears off. (I only had one shot)."


"I was on this pill throughout high school and don't quite remember the initial side effects. But what I will HAVE to remember for the rest of my life is the cystic acne it has given me since stopping this pill. I didn't want to be on birth control anymore but now if I want to ever have DECENT skin again, I will have to get back on the pill- but not this specific one ever again. Cystic acne is the worst, most hard to treat acne that is underneath the skin. I hate gildess for creating a mess with my hormones."


"I caught flu last week and after 4 days of congestion to the point I thought my head would explode, I took some double strength Mucinex. The pharmacist told me it was as strong as 12 cough syrups and to take it before I went to bed that very night, but after coming here first and reading reviews which claim insomnia, I decided to take it the next morning.
Wow! I can breath out of my nose and I'm definitely feeling a lot better. The only problem is that it seems to have some sort of peppy ingredient in it which dries you out quickly if you're not actively drinking through the day. Still, a million times better than Lemsip!"


"Accutane IS awesome! Of course you're going be dry- but you will be clear and stay clear. Stick with it- the side effects are only temporary but clear skin forever is worth it."


"Its been a life saver for me. I have lost 61 pds since I started using Invokana. I love it. I just wish it was more affordable. I am almost at my goal weight. I look and feel great."


"I have been taking Benicar 40 mg for about 4 years. Dizziness is the only occasional trouble. Never had any problems associated with drinking alcohol even after some all-night vodka binges - no hangovers either. That was some years ago. I don't drink much nowadays. Blood pressure alternates but is never above 130/80. Interestingly, after running 7 miles (I do it once a week or so) systolic count is often below 110 and diastolic in the low sixties within 5 minutes of the run. I am 56. I am thinking of lowering to 20mg. "


"This medicine is a miracle pill. I use this as my 2nd antipsychotic med and it has helped so much in only 1 week."


"I have been using the Nuvaring for a year and at first it was great just a little uncomfortable during sex, but got used to it. The last few months I have been getting side affects to the point where I had to stop using it. It gave me anxiety, depression to the point where I felt hopeless and like I had no control of anything so I discontinued using it and side affects are going away and I feel like I have control again. I know every women's body is different so if you feel the same symptoms find another form of birth control."


"It's quite remarkable. It has eased both cravings and withdrawal."


"I've been on accutane 3 months now. I've had persistent acne since I was in middle school and nothing has worked besides this. Right now I'll get occasional acne but it's clear for the most part. My whole body has gotten dry because of it and is often very uncomfortable. But the worst side effect are these mood swings and depression accutane has caused me. It has really effected my relationship and I cannot help it. I'm on 40 mg but it was worse when I was on 60. Even though this is a difficult side effect, I am amazed at how clear my face is so far."


"I am 19 years old and have been fighting acne for about 4 years now. I have tried just about all over the counter acne washes, creams, you name it, I've  tried it. most did not work and the few that did work gave me an allergic reaction. I had stubborn acne that wouldn't go away and was on the verge of giving up. My dad took me to the dermatologist 3/07/13 and the next day (03/08/13) I began using Epiduo gel at night with Doryx. It is now 03/13/13 and I LOVE the visible results! My complexion looks amazing compared to what it was. I still have some acne left and some scars. However, my face is really dry and rough. I also have severe burning! Feels like my face is on fire and all I want to do is cry from the pain!"


"Very effective, cleared up in 3 days. Felt dizzy and disoriented and  uncomfortable in my stomach around the sternum. Often nauseous."


"I've been on Nuvaring for about 2 months after trying 3 different birth control pills over the past 3 years. I definitely recommend it for those who have mood swings or tiredness while on the pill and need a low-dose hormonal birth control option. For me I haven't had problems with either since I started Nuvaring. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the ring gets uncomfortable during sex and dry, but I've just gotten into a habit of taking it out."


"This is my 2nd colonoscopy in 3 years. The first prep I used made me feel very ill, so I was looking forward to trying movi prep. It took 2 hours from the completion of drinking it, for it to cause any motion. It gave me slight gurgling and cramping, but nothing like when you have stomach virus. I took the 2nd part of it at 2:30 am and it caused me to have motion almost immediately. I was worried that I wouldn't make it to the appointment without having to stop at a bathroom on the way, but I didn't. I was also worried because I never got to the point of clear stools. I told my doctor this when I arrived for the appt. The doctor ended up telling me that she saw everything fine."


"Just had gall bladder removed and then came the runs that won't stop for days. Started on Welchol and 30 mins later I was normal. It's great."


"I was on Sprintec for over 2 years, and I was satisfied with it. I changed over from Yaz after I started having breakthrough bleeding on a regular basis. It stopped the breakthrough bleeding, plus my periods were only about 3-4 days long, with the heavier days being very mild. No cramping. My face would break out a little with my cycle, but it was manageable. I did have some mood fluctuations as well with my cycle.

Of note, when I went to have an IUD placed due to the inability to take my pill on time every day, we did find incidentally during the routine ultrasound to place the IUD that I had a large ovarian cyst. Estrogen is supposed to suppress these cysts, so this might be of interest to someone looking at Sprintec to help with cysts."


"I was diagnosed with Type 2 about 6 months ago. I was given Janumet 50/500. It worked great until about a month ago. My sugar in the mornings have risen from the 120's to anywhere up to 190. I feel pretty bad in the mornings & sometimes throughout the day. I've also noticed I sweat at night. I get nauseated a lot and vomit at times. Not sure what my doc will do when my A1C results come back."


"Insertion had a sharp pain for only about 15 seconds - I breathed through and it was fine. Cramping afterward, and from then on, my periods were a little off schedule but that was all. This has worked for me greatly. You just have to make sure its in place - my doctor cut the string long enough so I could touch it with my finger. This is a good way to keep track of it without anything going wrong, and so you can catch it if it moves. I have had worry-free sex since I got it. Its a wonderful thing, just be aware of where it is!"


"I have injured my back several times over the course of about 12 years. I have tried everything under the sun. I am currently on the 5mg ER 2 x daily and the 10mg IR 3-4 x a day for breakthrough pain. Like many people have said you have to take it on an empty stomach. This medicine works better than any other. As long as you take 2 x ER and 3-4 IR's for breakthrough per day you will have the best results. I am due for my ER's to get increased but other than that this is the best pain management I have ever had."


"Suffered from migraines my whole life but the last 6-8 months they have been everyday, all day. I have tried so many medicines with no relief and recently my Doctor put me on Neurontin.  This medicine works. I am on a low dose of 600 mg at night before bed and my days have been so much better.  I still get some headaches, but not nearly the bad migraines I was getting.  The doctor is going to increase my dose slowly until she gets me on the dose that works the best for me.  But as for now, I am slowly getting my life back."


"Hi I just want to say I have ZERO pain tolerance at all (had a LEEP ( loop electrosurgical excision procedure) under general anesthesia) and almost canceled my appointment because of the reviews and how anxious I was. Procedure took less than 2 minutes and was literally 2 SMALL cramps. I took 800 mg Ibprofen 40 minutes prior. Will update later but as of now I feel great."


"This is like eating candy. Did nothing."


"Not strong enough for me. Had to use the Lac-Hydrin 12%.  Some states require a prescription and some don't."


"I was prescribed Tri-Sprintec when I was 15 years old to regulate my period. I turn 20 in two weeks and have been taking this birth control consistently. I have had minimum issues (occasional breast tenderness-- no big deal). All birth controls have their side effects but to say that this would alter my decision to take this birth control is bizarre. I have sex with my partner about every other day and we NEVER use condoms. However, he only "finishes" in me once or twice every few months. Even then, I have (luckily) had no problems. I have had no weight gain or mood swings, or any other side effects. It has also kept my face perfectly clear since it doubles as an acne- fighter. Very impressed and would HIGHLY recommend to younger people."


"I was properly diagnosed with ADHD after knowing all my life, I'm special. And different from the rest of my coworkers and people I meet and met.
I recently lost my job due to a "rightful" blowup at the my Boss's deputy, which led to all the way to a final write up. Two month later, it was discovered that I wasn't doing the daily logs, that everyone can do, but I couldn't do it easily. This behavior led to a Doctor and conclusion, I have ADHD.
At first I was on Vyvanse 20 then 40, this left me speedy and jittery, almost unable to cope in public. So I changed to Concerta XR 36. Mild and cool enough, but I don't see the difference with my ADHD. So I moved to Focalin XR 25. It's been an hour since my taking it at 3pm. I feel it."


"I went to the ER with aneurysm symptoms and was administered Stadol Via IV. The nurse explained that it would make me sleepy and help with the pain in my head. Immediately I felt a little sleepy followed by nauseous and very  warm all over. Within a few minutes I started to feel VERY uncomfortable in my own skin. I felt as if I had a horrible hangover or something. As I fell asleep I began having horrible nightmares. This experience was the first time I've been given the drug to my knowledge. Overall it made me feel kind of panicked and frightened. I hopefully will never be given this medication again."


"Ok, so today is the 1st day I have tried this medication. I had a protein shake for breakfast and I have not wanted anything else. I have not been hungry nor have I craved any sweets! This is a good thing! I really hope this continues. :-)"


"I love this medication, I've been on it for years and it does double duty for me- Both as an allergy medication and Anxiety. While I've built up a tolerance to if over the years, I love that it's non-addictive and calms my mind enough that I can relax. While it doesn't make me sleepy, it does allow me to be calm and after an episode of high anxiety, this often does lead me to sleep. While not for everyone, I personally love it."


"I started taking this for "morning sickness" during my 3rd pregnancy.  In the past I had dealt with extreme nausea and vomiting the first trimester which made me so dehydrated I was hospitalized several times.  This time around I was at my wits end and tried all the anti-nausea medicines except this.  After taking it, the nausea completely disappeared.  Like another user I felt dizziness and headache at first but that soon was gone and I was normal.  Can't say enough about this!  A lifesaver for anyone who knows what it's like to throw up for weeks on end."


"This is my first time using Monistat Day 1. I will literally never use this again in my life. I have never had yeast infection & I'm 25. I think it's due to my birth control which I just started taking a month ago. I put the ovule in and as soon as I used the cream which was right after I inserted the ovule, I was in agony! I used wipes to wipe off the anti-itch cream. Now I'm laying in my bed, with my eyes full of tears. I have some mild itching & burning sensation. I'm just praying that I'll live through the night. I just texted me mom whom works with my OBGYN to tell her to prescribe me something asap! Because I can't do this. And if my birth control makes me have continuous YI then I'm done with it."


"Day 1 morning was fine.  By 2 pm I had a miserable headache.  Went home got straight in bed and didn't wake up for 12 hours.  Day 2 I took pill in morning again, felt light-headed all day and got dull headache by end of day.  Day 3 I took pill in morning and by noontime, OMG - I felt horrible and went to bed.  I haven't had another pill since day 3 and it's now Day 6 and I'm still feeling miserable.  I just want this medicine out of my body."


"I'm very tall and very overweight. Six months on a controlled diet and exercise program yielded no results. My doctor put me on Victoza, suspecting some sort of metabolism issue (fasting blood sugar was a constant 101 for several years). Starting dose of 0.6 gave me a 20 minute headache each morning and left me lethargic. It got better in a week, upped to 1.2, same thing started. 20 minute headache, no energy. Again, it got better each day. Hit maintenance level of 1.8 and the weight began pouring off me at roughly a pound a day! A very effective appetite suppressant and my fasting blood sugar averages 91 now."


"I would rate this a 10 for treating GERD; however, I am giving it a 7 due to side effects.  I have had no problems with GERD since beginning the medicine but I am experiencing an increase in blood pressure.  I also am experiencing dizziness, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, tightness in my throat, pressure in my chest that makes me feel like I am going to vomit (although I do not feel nauseated), and just a general overall bad feeling.  This does not happen until the extended release of the medication occurs at about 4-5 hours after administration.  Although it treats my GERD symptoms great I have decided it is not worth the other side effects that I am having."


"I was prescribed this drug for insomnia. I never felt it kick in, so as an experiment I stayed up waiting to feel it. I never did. When I took it before bed I found waking and functioning the next morning rougher than the time I hadn't been on the medication. I stopped this medication because I felt worse taking it."


"I love the NuvaRing! It's easy, I don't have to remember to take a pill, my periods are light. The only side effect I've had while being on it, was I was bleeding while having sex. After speaking to my doctor about it, she told me this is VERY common and I can keep my ring out for up to 2 hours to have sex. So that's the only negative. Having to take out my birth control every time I'm about to have sex. Other than that, I strongly recommend NuvaRing."

"Debated long and hard, but finally asked my OBGYN for Wellbutrin XL for hormonal mood issues. I work for a psychiatrist so I'm well informed of my options and felt this medication was my first choice for symptoms and fewest chances of unwanted sexual and weight gain side effects.  2 weeks into treatment at 150mg.  Feeling an overall clear and light heartedness.  This week should be the height of my PMS and I am not cranky!  Also helping a lot with decreasing appetite and smoking is very unappealing.  Very minor stomach unsettle, and I've been waking more in the middle of the night, but side effects generally mild and tolerable.  May ask to increase dose to 300mg.  I wish I had asked for this medication sooner!"


"Negative and potentionally dangerous experience. All Movantik did for me was give me gas and painful cramps all day/night. For the entire 2 weeks I took it I did not have any BM. Thankfully I was switched back to my regular OIC medicine and could make.  If I would have continued to take Movantik, I was running the risk of a serious blockage being created from that medicine, so I strongly recommend that if this does not work for someone within 14 days to immediately consult a doctor!"


"Works great for me, very effective."


"I have been on a lot of narcotics since my injury and this one seems to be one of the best."


"I have a 10 year old who is autistic, is the size of a 13 year old, and has had severe panic and tantrums since he was 4 years old. He is also going through puberty early.

We have tried just about every medication and he has had severe side effects, until Buspar.

We started with 5mg twice a day for 2 weeks and now are 10mg twice a day. Within 36 hours we noticed a considerable change in his physical symptoms (he is non-verbal and cannot tell us what is wrong/or what hurts)

The school is sending home notes saying he is learning to calm himself and self regulate better and is having more spontaneous language and learning at school.

We supplement the Buspar with 3mg daily of risperdal and are hoping to phase out the RISPERDAL this year."


"I wish I would have read the reviews first !!!!! Horrible !!!! As I'm sitting on the toilet about to pass out !!! Horrible nausea cramps and dizziness !! Gets the job done but dang !! I'd rather be constipated !"


"WONDER DRUG.
My story may be different, I was going to the ER it seemed like every other day for high BP 200/something,  pulse high, they would run test EKG, blood work, give me Ativan and send me home. Later my Dr put me on a BP pills and my Psychologist put me on  Ativan and another anxiety medication, took it for a few years then got off, I was doing better, ... Life was great. Then it happened again
I went to the ER three days straight, once I even called the ambulance. The ER Dr. made me an appt with my Psychologist that day,  my Psyc told me about this medication, my last reading for my BP was 139/91 but the week before it was 176/109 and no panic attacks I take 60mg x2 a day."


"I have been on Depo for a year and now I think it would be good to take a break. After about 3 injections I saw no sign of a period whatsoever, but after about a year I have gained about 10lbs and some minor acne. BUT- I had terrible heavy periods that I would throw up from the pain from before, and Depo elimnated my pain and really helped me be more functional. It did change my mood, I have been a little depressed over the last year so I think that while I can safely be off birth-control I should for a while. It worked great as a birth control and saved me from my periods. What I've heard about not getting your period back for a while and bone density loss does worry me, I'll definitely use Depo again though. SO CONVENIENT."


"I have been on Armour for 13 years minimal symptoms.. Steady TSH and optimal F T3."


"Got my first and last depo shot in September. I got the shot during my usual spotting that happens right before my period. After the shot, spotting stops, period is a no show, and my PMS symptoms go away. Sounds great, right? 10 days after the shot and I start getting brown discharge that has gotten heavier and occasionally more pink with no end in sight (19 days and counting). This is accompanied by cramps, ache, and zero sex drive, but who'd wanna have sex with all that nasty brown discharge. Now I know how the shot is so effective at preventing pregnancy."


"I started having panic attacks at age 26, I'm now 56. Those were the worst things a person could go thru. My first shrink in 86 put me on Haldol. Oh my God, that was horrible. I was on different medications until 1994 when I got on klonopin. That pill is a miracle drug. I don't have to take it everyday anymore but I always carry it with me in my purse just in case. I do take other meds for depression and they also help but nothing like klonopin. Because I hear it can contribute to Alzheimer's I try not to take it daily. That's all I need ontop of my other mental problems. I would advise anyone to take klonopin for major panic attacks but try not to take a lot of it for long periods. Maybe in conjunction with something else u can take less."


"As an alternative to Clonazepam, I tried a natural anxiety remedy called Zenapin which was reviewed well by several sources. STAY AWAY FROM ZENAPIN. This 'natural' remedy made me dizzy with a constant headache. Don't belive the hype. This Product Is Bad For You!"


"This med is great! Suffered from anxiety three years ago after worrying about my child which led to chronic insomnia and depression. Desperate to sleep and eat, doctor prescribed Remeron (Mirt brand) three years ago. From the first night, I had night after night of peaceful restorative sleep. It didn't help much with my depression so added lexapro and kept using remeron at night for sleep. 30 mg was too high and settled at 1/2 of a 15 mg tablet (scored tab can be cut in half). The lower the dose, the more sleeping affect and I don't get the munchies at 7.5 mg. Much better than ambien for those with chronic insomnia that must take something regularly to sleep. Never have a hangover from it and feel refreshed the next day."


"The only thing I hate is the pen injector pushes very hard it actually bothers my thumb joint after 6 months I have to use my other hand to push the injector button in. They need to get them like my lantuas which hardly takes any effort. I will probrably switch back to lantuas just because of that.

You think after all the effort put into creating insulin they wouldn't cut corners on the injection pen.."


"No relief at all for my back pain."


"I read most of the reviews, here is my story.  I am older maybe the age of most posters mother.  Had sex around 6:00 am, took pill by noon on the same day.  This item is behind the pharmacy in my area, make sure you on their website to know which stores sell it in your area. Some said this did not during ovulation, For me, I was on day four of my ovulation week and it worked for me.....I read that some people got sick, or felt nausea, I did not.     I took the pill with a full meal.   I also did not feel bad in the week after, and my period started one day ahead of schedule..... Maybe cause I am older, I recommended please take right away if you need success ; better to pay 43.00 then have to go through other options."


"Frova works very well for me, and has been my go-to for 10  years.  Back in the day, different "triptans" worked okay for a couple of years, and then I had to switch to something different, as eventually they all lost their efficacy over time.  Not this. Frova is still working just as well today, as it did when I started using it 10  years ago."


"I had my birth control implant since February 2015 and my face had broken out so bad, face acne and worse back acne. I had mood swings and I actually think it's making me lose weight. It's terrible for me I'm getting it removed next week !"


"I have severe agoraphobia for 12 or so years. It's very hard to get outside. I have been on Prozac, Celexa, Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor and Buspirone. I have maxed out them all. Each one has stopped working so now I take Wellbutrin 150 twice a day, Buspirone 15mg 3 times and  Effexor 100mg 3 times a day. I was just taking Buspirone and Effexor and I still couldn't get outside. My doctor started me on Wellbutrin so now I take all 3 with no side effects. Took a few days for it to kick in now I can go out in yard to the store, but is still hard. But adding Wellbutrin helped a lot. I would recommend it if it doesn't help you can always go off it and try something else."


"I've been on Portia for over a year and can't complain.  I have always had terrible cramps, on the verge of endometriosis, and this is the first birth control of several I've been on that has actually reduced the cramps - and quite significantly.  I don't really have problems with PMS at all, but have noticed a lower sex drive.  But my periods last 2 days now, and are pretty light, so it's treated me well."


"Reclipsen has worked perfectly for me. It has not made me gain weight, hasn't made me moody, and it controls my period. I haven't gotten pregnant while using it and I've never worried that I have been pregnant. I would recommend this to anybody that wants to go on the pill."


"I've been taking Xarelto for 1 month now for pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. I haven't experienced many side effects. It seems to be working great except my period is extremely heavy and I'm taking an iron supplement."
