"I have been on Belviq for 7 days. The first few days were not good I was super dizzy and I felt like I was drugged well I guess I was. I went 5 days and was seriously thinking about giving up but I had read that the side effects would get better and sinse I had the free trial for 2 weeks I wanted to keep trying. I didnt lose anything either and still felt hungry. Finally the 6 day I didnt feel hungry and finally lost 1 lb. This morning down another 2 making that 3 lbs in 6 days. Well Im willing to finish the 2 weeks before I decide. Im not as dizzy the 6th and 7 th day it has gotten a little better. All I can say is Im thankful for only one side effect so far and I finally dropped 3 lbs and I noticed on day 5, 6 and 7 Im not as hungry."


"I absolutely LOVE this medicine. I lost 30 pounds on it last year and have lost 7 lbs on it in the last month (no exercise). It makes me feel good and gives me the energy to get things done. My libido had been down due to being on anti-depressants BUT this medicine has affected my libido in a GOOD way. It also helps tremendously because I have ADHD. It helps so much with that too. I love this medicine.

HOWEVER don't drink a lot when you take it. When I first started it last April I drank WAY too much and ended up in the hospital. The doctor was amazed that they hadn't told me not to drink on it but all is well now."


"Was prescribed this for voices and insomnia but is making sleep life and awake life a complete blur!"


"I was pretty skeptical with buying this product. Me & my boyfriend had unprotected sex on a Tuesday and again that following Thursday and his sperm actually went in me. On Tuesday I took the pill 1 hour after we had sex. I didn't have enough for plan B so had to get this instead. We had unprotected sex again on Thursday (stupid I know) so I took it AGAIN but this time I took it 9 hours after I was the most fertile on this day. (You're not supposed to take two in the same week) Let me tell you I got my period 4 WEEKS EARLY. THIS PRODUCT WORKS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!"


"Wellbutrin has caused no side effects that I can tell.  The first day I experienced some euphoria, but that's all.  I still get sad and super anxious, but you know, some emotion is a good thing.  I'm not constantly depressed and panicky like I was, so- win.   Been on it about 6/7 mo, 150mg ext release"


"It didn't do anything. I took probably 8 over the course of 12 hours (a few every 4 hours, not all at once!). Still nothing! It did leave a really weird taste in my mouth that made me nauseous. Waste of money."


"I've learned the warning sign of an impending leg cramp and I always keep a small supply of 200 mg quinine sulfate accessible.  I use very small containers and have one in the car, one in my backpack when hiking and one in my pocket when out and about. My leg cramps are so painful that it seems that the muscle is tearing itself apart and luckily the pills are within easy reach so the tension ends within a couple of minutes."


"I've done well on Testim. Energy and mood levels up. Really helps in the gym, too. Lifting weights enhances the effect, probably because lifting helps augment T. Many women love the smell. I get lots of comments about it. In fact, it's pretty funny."


"I was suffering from persistent nausea.  I lost a lot of weight as eating was difficult.  I had many tests and my doctor concluded  the problem was mental, not physical.  He prescribed Pregabalin, 75mg twice a day, and the improvement came almost immediately.  I feel much calmer, much reduced anxiety, have my appetite back, and the nausea mostly eliminated.  I would strongly recommend this medicine.  It does make you want to eat, but this was a boon at first as I had lost a lot of weight, but no other side effects as far as I can tell.  Maybe a bit of drowsiness.  This medicine gave me my life back so give it a go if you have run out of other ideas."


"I am a very grateful 43 year young woman.  I quit smoking for the 1st time after smoking for 24 years.  I was having an elective surgery and my surgeon said I had to quit 14 days before my procedure. Which I ended up quitting 12 days before. He nicotine tested me the day of my procedure to be sure I haden't smoked.  I let him know it had only been 12 days, and I was able to have my procedure!  I began taking Chantix on 3/27/08 and by the next morning they already tasted bad.   I had my last cigarette at 7am on 3/30/08.  I took Chantix for 30 days and have never craved or smoked again. It's been 7 years and 8 months.  When I think back its hard to imagine ever smoking.  Which my seem crazy since I smoked over half my life.  The love of my life always tells me it's hard to even imagine that I was a smoker and he would of missed us if I was still a smoker.  Since he would of never pursued me if I smoked.   I only had 2 side effects during those 30 days.  I was nauseous for about 20 minutes after I took the medication and Vivid dreams. Thank you Chantix for giving me a life that I would of never had if I still smoked!"


"This is truly an amazing product..I sweat when I'm cold and have always avoided long sleeve tops and light colours. I'm 29 years of age and would recommend this product. I'm so thankful that a friend had recommended this to me.

I have found that it does not sting, I don't feel anything, within the next day I could tell that my clothes were dry all day and I felt more confident."


"I am currently on my second pack. I have been an emotional roller coaster and will be changing."


"Started with Percs, moved to straight oxy at 100-120mg/day. Never beyond that. Tried a half dozen times to go cold turkey.  Not much luck.  Closest I have ever gotten is with Sub.  Problem is that with Sub you are still just taking opiates in a slightly different form.  That's why it "works so well."  The problem comes when you stop the Sub. The hardest jump is from some opiates to NO opiates. No matter what, you're going to experience withdrawal.  You have to pay the piper at some point, even though some methods (like a taper) might make it a little easier.  Anyone who says that withdrawal is just a weekend on the couch is selling you a bill of goods (or, is the doctor encouraging you to take the pills). Be prepared for 10 days."


"Have been taking Avinza 2x30 mg/day for 12 months. Pain is better controlled (normal is 3-5; oxy was 5-7).  Still constipated, but fixable with Metamucil. Can safely pay bills and drive.  Wonder drug for me.  No craving, either."


"I have been suffering from depression and anxieties for many years. When I was starting high school, I was prescribed with Paxil, and had taken that for 14 years. During my third year of college, when I was 22, I found out that I had Generalized Anxiety Disorder, because I worried more than the average person. It was only last year that I found out that Paxil was no longer effective, so my doctor suggested that I gradually switch over to Zoloft. My doctor informed me that Zoloft also helps ease anxieties. I took her word for it. Since Paxil and Zoloft are both selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, it really is not that hard to make a switch. Zoloft has definitely caused my worries to decrease. I sleep better as well."


"I have been taking this medicine for 2 1/2 weeks along with a high protein diet of 800 calories a day. I have lost 15 pounds so far. No side effects for me with the exception of the sweet taste in my mouth. It works. I love to eat...thats how I got to where I am, but I have to force myself to eat these days."


"I was very unsteady on my feet, at first some of the pain was resolved, but it didn't work. Even though my feet were NOT swollen they felt that way, very tight feeling. It felt like I was walking on balloons, terrible feeling and I was afraid to walk with that unsteadiness. Didn't work for me, since then, I have been on many different medications. Neurontin, didn't help, amitriptiline, didn't help, Lyrica, didn't help. I am on nortriptyline now with a pain patch. The fentanyl patch really helps, but I don't want to stay on this forever, so trying different medications. I am only supposed to leave the pain patch on 3 days, and found with the new medication, nortriptyline, I can go 5 days. So I am hopeful here. "


"I had surgery that went bad leaving my system kinked.  This caused me to have nothing but problems with straining and constipation for several years now.  I am so happy to be able to use something that makes me feel normal again."


"It works wonders, I would certainly recommend it highly."


"I had an on going vaginal yeast infection for about 6 weeks. I tried 7 day monistat and it provided a few days of relief and then it was right back and even worse. So I did another 7 day round and by day 3 it was burning so bad to use it so I just stopped. I gave in and went to the Dr and he prescribed diflucan one dose and I took that, had no relief until he 3rd night. Felt totally normal for almost 48 hours and then the symptoms came right back and are even worse now. Hoping that even though it's my 5th day into treatment that it will be gone by day 7. Maybe I will just need another dose but as of right now I'm not happy with diflucan."


"Started this medicine on Monday after second dose started developed a cough. Second day Tuesday cough was worse and developed a headache. Prior to the 4th pill I was now getting a migraine went to bed and only was able to sleep 4 hrs. Third day I refuse to take anymore the symptoms of the UTI have cleared up almost instantly and I will not suffer a migraine for the remainder of the week."


"I started guanfacine around the age of 6 for Tourette's. I have been taking it for years and have had to constantly increase the dosage because my tics have progressively gotten worse. I eventually had to stop because of how bad the side effects were. My main side effects were dizziness, nausea, leg cramps, and digestive disturbances. As for effectiveness, it used to work amazingly. I would not recommend this drug to anyone with severe tics, or anyone who already struggles with nausea and dizziness. The side effects are more noticeable in large doses.
Pros:
- Safe for children
- Effective for mild to moderate Tourette's
Cons:
- Bad side effects
- For moderate to severe Tourette's, there are much better options"


"This medication has kept me stable for 4 years. I am now 23 and was on 1000mgs at night. I recently went down as my bloodtests came back to high. So I went back down to 700mg and had another manic episode. I am now in the process of finding a antipsychotic to go with it. I have managed to stay 110 lbs for 4 years with a healthy diet and exercise. The only side effects I had were major hair loss, slight tremors, and nausea. All of which have passed within a year"


"I don't like this stuff! I just had my first month of it and for the first 3 weeks I spotted continuously and and the fourth week I had no period! My emotions are going haywire, I cry at everything...I want my Trinessa back!"


"Was extremely sedative, resulting in me sleeping almost 12 hours a day for over a week.  Stopped after two weeks"


"I have found that Xanax does indeed work. It's quick and relieving. Take it about 20-30 before an anxious event and it will help you. The downside is the tolerance that generally develops very quickly, in my case already after one week."


"After 6 years on Enbrel, it finally stopped working and I started on Stelara this past July 2013. Excellent results clearing tough, thick-skinned body areas like elbows and knees within 1 to 1.5 months and I'm very pleased. Somewhat perplexing while on Stelara are short cycles of psoriasis turning up and then disappearing from thin-skinned areas like scalp while the bigger problem body areas remain clear. I never had scalp psoriasis while on Enbrel, but I'd still choose Stelara overall for faster, better overall clearing."


"It hasn't made me sick or caused acne. I went to the doctors twice from urinary tract infection since I've been on it. I've been taking it for a month now and my mood has changed severely. I have no interest in sex at all, I get dry and I have no intention of wanting to do it. I feel stressed and depressed and I've never been like that. I feel bad for my boyfriend and its been ruining our love life. I'm calling my doctor to switch as soon as she is available. When they say birth control doesn't affect your mood, they are wrong! Read the other reviews."


"Recently I was put on Norco for a hand injury sustained several years earlier. It has helped my hand tremendously! I can actually use it. I love the fact that it has less acetaminophen and doesn't make my stomach hurt. It is a miracle."


"This pill has been great. It keeps my period very regulated and I went up a cup size within the first couple months. I have suffered from moderate acne since I was a teenage and since taking the pill, my face is completely clear! I will occasionally get a pimple around the time of my period, but NOTHING like I had before. It is magic! The nausea was mild-moderate during the first few months and I still occasionally feel mildly nauseous (nothing unmanageable, though). My appetite has changed, as well (I don't crave sugar as often as I used to). I feel like it helps stabilize my mood in general, as well, but I do cry more often than I used to (during period time). All in all, great method!"


"This medicine would make me very agitated physically before sleep. It also would make me angry during the day for no reason, and I'd randomly get depressed or frustrated and cry even when unprovoked. Usually I can look past irritating side effects if the drug is helping, but it didn't at all anyway."


"Eskalith (Lithium) is by far the most effective drug for bipolar disorder."


"I've been taking Effexor XR since 2004.  The side effects that I experience are loss of appetite/weight loss and sexual side effects.  However, every time I try another medicine or try to "get off" my medicines, I crash and I always go back to Effexor and it works really well.  So it is a consistently reliable drug for me and I am very thankful for it."


"I have been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder, which is difficult as it prevents me from doing day to day activities, I am doing the exposure and response treatment by myself whilst on the list to go see a professional in CBT. It causes me severe anxiety. I got panicky on buses and at work and would be so afraid of having a panic attack I'd avoid stuff. I told my DR and he gave me these anxiety tablets. My OCD was playing up so I was scaring myself into avoiding taking them incase I became dependent on them. I had an important meeting, I knew I needed help with so I took one, it worked! I took 4 buses in one day went to my meeting and felt confident again no anxiety at all. It doesn't stop your OCD worries however it stops anxiety which helped me."


"My husband was perscribed Lyrica for neuropathic pain. He has been in pain with low back issues since 2005. He has had shots, surgeries, a stim unit inplant. The pain continues to get increase. The lyrica within three days made him completely crazy. Couldn't sleep, very emotional. Started weaning right away. He had side effects all the way to cold and flu like symtoms. This Lyica is horrible, worst medicine he has ever taken and now we're stuck for $100.00"


"I was on this pill for over 6 months and it has been the worst experience. When I first started taking it, it was fine but 2 months into it I started gaining weight.. And gained up to 10 pounds. My breasts went from a b to almost a d cup and hurt all the time. I was super angry and depressed all the time. It got to the point where I did not want to get out of bed and go on with my normal routine. I lost many friendships due to being depressed. I also did not go to school for over 3 weeks. I would never recommend this pill to anyone. I should of not taken it when I saw the reviews the first time. I just switched to a different pill and already lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks!"


"I'm glad to have the medicine.  I'm very tired. No headaches, but aching joints.
A lot of gas.  My second week.  Skin tone is getting brighter. Eyes are getting whiter. Urine fluctuates from clear to dark.
Got a real good deal on the meds. Didn't have to pay any out of pocket. Medicare covered the whole cost.  I'm very grateful.
I'm not itching as much as before."


"It was the God send of meds for me!"


"I used Lexapro for a year and a half.  Last resort (I mistrust drugs) for my circumstantial depression and PTSD. I was surprised to find that Lexapro worked great for me. I had almost no side effects starting up or since, it began working in 2 days, I worked up slow from 5 to 10 mg, and stayed at 10mg. A charm: I felt level, smoothed, yet still emotional and alive. NOT numb. Positive, happy mostly, tend toward joy. More tolerant and patient too. It did NOT reduce my libido, but DID cause weight gain.  30 pounds since 08 without changing my very healthy moderate diet. Weight won't budge, unusual for me. I have begun taper thinking I was ready. I'm shocked that I miss it. I'm a better person on it, the edges smoothed. If not for the FAT, I'd continue."


"I've had acne since I was 12 and had tried several topical antibiotics but they never seemed to work. I went to the Dr and he prescribed me 100 mg doxycycline hyclate once a day and duac gel twice a day. The first few weeks it dried my face out but not TOO bad.. Just be sure to stay moisturized and drink lots of water other wise it'll be worse. After about a month I seen results here and there but I'd still break out. 2nd month started to get a little better. I'm now on my 3rd month (almost finished) and I honestly can't believe how much of a difference I see from when I first started taking it. All I have is a few scars but that's NOTHING. I'm so excited!! I've been waiting for this day forever :) I highly recommend it."


"On week 2 I have bad cramps, very constipated, nausea and horrible burping, my sugar is down but idk how long I can hang in."


"I had shingles for two and a half weeks, then experienced severe nerve pain after the sores began to heal. My doctor originally prescribed Vicodin, then switched me to Lyrica in anticipation of my return to work. Lyrica was very effective at reducing the severity of the pain, but it caused me to be very drowsy. I slept for 14 hours a night, and had difficulty concentrating during the day. I would also have trouble remembering things I had done while taking Lyrica. I had to discontinue using it."


"My urologist proscribed me with 50mg Mirabegron for my overactive bladder, which at the beginning seemed no to work. I was undertaking a bladder training at the same time and I saw no improvement whatsoever for couple of months. Since no other medication has worked for me, due to having no side effects and no alternatives, I continued my treatment on Mirabegron. About three months into my treatment, I started having bladder pains, nothing unbearable, but noticeable. Couple of weeks after that I realized that the pains were caused by my bladder expanding, which at the end massively reduced the amount of times I go to the toilet. This medication saved my life and I will continue taking it for however long I need to."


"I do not doubt the effectiveness of this drug, it works as advertised. The issue that I have with it that it causes irritability, add anxiety and increased sense of depression."


"I tried everything from magnesium citrate to even an enema! Nothing worked until I tried dulsolax! It worked 6 hrs after I took it with lots of drinking water and it cleaned me out! I didn't take it overnight, I took it during the day while I was still active and the cramps were not too bad!"


"I hate this birth control, I'm 18 I got it inserted late July 2015 so about 8 months. I only got this so I wouldn't forget to take the pill and for my periods because they were so heavy! I was on my period for about 5 months including the heavy spotting. I just recently got off my period a month ago and now it hasn't came back. This birth control makes me break out even worse, I know I'm a teen and break outs are normal but come on I have it all over my back and chest and on my cheeks and I wash and moisturize twice a day. Also with this birth control it makes me very moody and slightly depressed. I highly do not recommend this type of protection. Personally I'm thinking about going back to the pill."


"I'm on day 7. It's the third antibiotic I've taken in 2 months. I pray it worked. I wanted to tell people to take good PROBIOTICS and it will keep the itching away. I take keffir It's like a probiotic yogurt smoothie w billions of good bacteria per serving in the yogurt section. I've also used Pill form probiotics "


"Condom broke on Saturday night, took Plan B One Step on Sunday afternoon. After 6 symptom-free days, I started spotting on Saturday and by Sunday my period arrived with minor cramps and light bleeding. It takes time to work so just relax and let the pill do its job! I'm also well over the weight guidelines (I'm 197lbs) but it worked for me!! Thanks Plan B!"


"I am 23, got diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis last year. I been miss diagnosed with systemic yeast infection because of the psoriasis and took 10 weeks of anti fungal prescription medicine which didn't help of course because that's not what I had. I went to a different doctor and he sent me to a rheumatoid specialist and from there he introduced and prescribed me Humira and I took my 1st injection and the next morning I woke up and my joint pain, swelling and psoriasis greatly reduced."


"Worst pill i have ever took . After 14 hours after taking the pill . I feel tyred , muscles pain ... Same symptoms as whe you have flue . Didn't have any of these simpthoms before taking the pill . Just the rhinitis. Which by the way is still there but less simptomatic."


"Terrible med. for me like it was for a lot of people.  I used it for 6 weeks (enough time to get into my system).  It caused panic attacks, which was not fun.  I would have several each day.  I was taking this med. for anxiety and depression.  I cried every single day, and several times a day on this med. and I did not sleep a full nights sleep for the entire duration. I felt way more sad, and felt like I was in a zombie like state daily.  I read reviews of this drug and prayed that I would soon start to feel better, and wouldn't be one of those that this drug did not work for.  Alas, I was one of those.  I stopped taking Effexor, cold turkey 5 days ago.  Best thing I ever did.  I experienced some withdrawal symptoms, like severe brain zaps"


"Been on the med a month now.  Down 10 lbs.  Tiredness went away but have been having really irritating chest pains every day.  Cardiologist said I was fine so I really don't know what's going on.  Had to stop the med pre-surgery for four days and the pains stopped.  Back on the med and they're back again.  Wondering if anyone else has this issue."


"Dating back to 1960, it seems like I've been plagued with pain every day of my life. Most of the time a small amount of aspirin will eliminate the issue. But there are days when almost nothing will end the pain. Since I began taking Norco 3-4 years ago - up to three, 10-325 mg tablets a day, life has been a genuine pleasure. I'm still experiencing daily pain. But it is very seldom severe. And when it is, that's only because I forgot I'm 74 years old and spent the day working in the yard like an 18 year-old.

I can't begin to name all the pain-killers I've used in my life. But Norco is, by far, the most effective."


"I am 43 and have two teenage children. It really hurt when inserted but all went well. Had bad cramps for couple weeks off and on. I bled for several weeks and it was not too heavy. Periods are now almost gone!! No more cramping. I have had a very good experience. I think my weight gain is from the IUD but not 100% sure."


"I was prescribed Ambien for insomnia because I am going through a particularly stressful time in my life. It does put me to sleep quickly but I've had several bouts of sleep walking. The last one was two nights ago and this one might actually cause me to stop taking it. My room mate said I got up and started to cut up some chicken then mixed it with some dry dog food. This wouldn't be bad if I then fed it to my dog but instead, I started feeding it to myself! Thankfully after I took one bite, she said I spit it out so I guess I wasn't completely out of it. I discovered other things like food taken out of the fridge and sugar spilled on the counter. Other than these things, the drug works great!"


"I'm just finishing my 1st pack of Yaz and couldn't be happier. A few years ago I tried the shot, only once. It took a full year for my period to get back to normal. About a year ago I tried a generic birth control pill. It was an effective form of birth control, which was the major reason I used it for, but similar to the shot I had almost no libido, was very emotional and had bad acne. My fiance kept bringing up Yaz. I decided to give it a shot since he put up with me so long. I've been happy, acne is going away, no bad side effects and libido is up. The only way to make it better is if it was cheaper. My insurance only takes off $10, so $50/month for BCP is the only downfall."


"I am 39 years old, was a new nurse and struggling with major depression. I had not been to a Dr in years and broke down crying at the first visit. Started 50 mg a day. Felt a little funny first couple days but now feel much better! Everyone noticed a change for the better and even got a promotion at work! Feel so much better and have not had any side effects!"


"I get a cold sore every May and December... Last December I used Abreva
" At the first tingle " and it just never developed and was totally healed in 2 days.
Now it's May and I cut this one off at the pass even sooner but the results are totally opposite. It does seen smaller and less painful then if I didn't use anything but it's still a full blown cold sore.
The jury is still out on this subject. I really can't tell with just 2 uses. But the good news is I have the rest of my life to do more research. I'll update my review next December."


"I am 5 feet and 135 pounds. I took ONE tablet and had multiple NORMAL BMs over a 24-hour period with no cramping, nausea, or sweats. TIPS: 1) Take with ALOT of water and some food; 2) TAKE ONE at the beginning; 3) DON'T IMMEDIATELY SLEEP; 4) WAIT 24 HOURS BEFORE TAKING MORE."


"Hi everyone, I usually got my period once in 3 months and when the Dr diagnosed me of PCOS in 2013, he prescribed metformin for me but it gave  me serious gastrointestinal issues so I stopped it barely after 2 weeks. After I got married in 2015, we started TTC and along the line bumped into this page. I summoned courage and got metformin again by October 2016, this time I didn't mind the side effects but took it judiciously at 1500mg/day. My period became a tad regular and viola......we got a BFP in Feb 2017!!! In the end please don't forget to keep praying .
Goodluck guys."


"Side effect - cough all the time."


"Thank you for helping to relieve my anguish!  Depressed and low, my nurse offered this med and it is nice.  Of course, we are concerned about side effects, but I haven't had any serious issues with this one.  I am a White Female.  I am over 21.  How long is the recommended length of therapy with this med?  My nurse brings meds when he visited our home especially for me.  I am a busy home maker.  Basically, this is gentle yet effective."


"Excellent at helping to quit smoking, as long as you are: a) seriously ready to quit; and b) prepared for the pattern changes (i.e. smoking in the car, smoking while on the phone, after meals, etc.)  Worked really well for the first 3 to 4 weeks, but then dropped me into a severe depression and a downward spiral in the 4th and 5th weeks.  I tapered back and eventually stopped taking it altogether starting in week 6 or so.  At week 10 I ended up in the back of a police car on my way to the ER after a serious suicidal episode.  PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH THIS DRUG!  I've suffered from depression (never diagnosed or treated, but we know ourselves, don't we?) my entire life on and off, but this was bad.  I'd go cold turkey, all things considered..."


"I feel extremely happy and it may be because I am taking sertraline. I, however, believe that the sertraline has helped any anxiety I have felt (I have panic attacks and have self diagnosed OCD - sometimes I feel I must know everything about everything) the anxiety which I no longer feel allows me to think clearly, plan my ideas in a chronological order,  I now know that it's never going to be the end of the world (hopefully) and discipline myself and my thoughts accordingly. I plan to stay on sertraline only for 6 months longer, and then my discipline should take hold :) I hope this helps x"


"This medicine has helped me be more normal. I'm not unstable at all unless I skip my medicines and I'm even in university although it's very hard on me. When I take my Lamictal if I did an all nighter I go straight to bed and miss class so it does make you tired but I wouldn't recommend missing your medication for more than one night. Lamictal really helped me lead a normal life though. It's a great mood stabilizer and helped me have no relapses at all. I'm on Risperdal, Paxil, Lamictal and Geodon right now but trying to get off Paxil and Risperdal completely cause it's made me gain a lot of weight."


"I have been using this medication successfully for several years.  Lowered blood pressure and no side effects.  This last month my prescription company switched manufacturer and I had a severe reaction to the drug.  Please be careful if the pharmacy switches brands.  The manufacturers are not all the same."


"the 1mg xanax made my life easyer to live. before i thought everyone was talkin about me and couldnt sleep but now im the life of the party"


"severe depression and anxiety"


"I have been on this medication for approximately 8 years. Before I started this medicine I was in terrible shape. With Sjogren's syndrome as my primary autoimmune disease and rheumatoid arthritis as my secondary autoimmune disease I was in terrible persistent  pain, had terrible joint ache and was incapacitated for about four months before finally being diagnosed and given this. Along with steroids, this medicine, and some regular doses of ibuprofen I found I was able to be mobile again, to go back to work and have a quality life again.
I have not found that being on the same the dosage has lessened it's effectiveness over the last 8. During major flares especially, it would be near impossible to have a good, healthy life."


"When I first started taking this medication, I was determined to end it all. Four years later, I'm the happiest person I know. I still have a high sex drive, although I've known people to say that lexapro takes it away for them. I didn't gain any weight and I've learned through meditation and breathing techniques to handle what small anxiety attacks I may get in my hectic life (two jobs, an apartment, school, long distance boyfriend) and at 20 years old I'm better off than most of my friends and feel like I can accomplish anything. Lexapro saved my life."


""I serverd in the United States military and was diagnosed with a horrible panic disorder. I left 70% disability due to severe Anxiety and a crippling panic disorder with Agoraphobia . I have been on everything there is including all the REAL serious meds in my 4 psychiatric visits at the VA. Nothing worked absolutely nothing besides benzodiazepines. Klonopin in my opinion works the best out of the benzo family. Has a very long half life and will come on slower but last way longer than others like xanax or Ativan witch hit you FAST but leave fast leaving you with wanting another dose quicker witch in my opinion sucks. In conclusion Klonopin saved my life I have been on it 5 years at .5mg 3 times a day""


" Maintenance of corneal transplants: Basically no side effects beside secondary glaucoma, over a period of using one drop in each eye daily for 12 years."


"I've been trying to keep on this medication, but I don't think I can. Dr prescribed 100mg for 1 week, then 300mg. Within 2 weeks I had my very first ever (I'm 58) yeast infection. My privates were inflamed and very painful. Took OTC yeast meds.

I called the Dr office and he reduced it back down to 100 mg. Now about 10 days later, I have fissures in my vulva.

Dr assistant insists that I don't use toilet paper to wipe after urination, but those new wipes that have been out for a few years. I tried but most of them but even the baby wipes are very heavily perfumed. So I bought unscented, sensitive skin baby wipes. They are better, but my skin is still too sensitive for them. Lots of other side effects. I'm not doing well on this med."


"I was prescribed Vicodin when I had my 1st back surgery 15 yrs ago! It helped and 2 years later I had my 2nd back surgery! The Vicodin became less effective so I went to pain management and was put on the Duragesic patch which changed my life with the pain! I took myself off of Vicodin and eventually took myself off of the patch! I still live in pain but no longer depend on pain medication."


"I am a nurse and I think Victoza is a great new medication . We have used it on all ages for type II diabetes. With great success, most patients love it! Of course there are a few that don't maintain the proper diet who have tried it and had no change. The main side effect was nausea, but worth a try. Good Luck !"


"I have been on methotrexate for almost a year. I am up to 20 mg a week. I take folic acid and leucovorin calcium 12 hours after the methotrexate. I was taking Enbrel but now take Xeljanz. Before the biologics the methotrexate wasn't working very well. I take prednisone too. I am only 36 but at least I can function better than I did. I still flare about twice a month. I suffer side effects from methotrexate. My hair has severely thinned out and I get very tired after taking it. It looks like I'll be on it for a long time tho. Hopefully it gets better. I would really Like my hair to come back."


"I am on Day 2 with Avelox for pneumonia.  Worst side effect for me is the nausea. It hits hard and fast. I do feel a difference in my breathing, but my stomach is so riled up now that it is difficult to even move.  So far no other side effects."


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


"I started taking 20 mg of Latuda in addition to the 900 mg of Lithium that I've been on for over 10 years. Even before the dosage was increased to 40 mg after one week, I noticed a difference in my mood: I became less depressed, wanted to do things like cleaning up, less withdrawn, and the suicidal thoughts disappeared. My sleeping is still not as good as it should be however even with the 25 mg of Seroquel which I sleep very poorly without. I also take Lorazepam as needed for anxiety. I am starting on 80 mg dosage of Latuda shortly, and if all goes well my psych said the Lithium may eventually be dropped."


"PA gave me this drug took the pain away but left me with diarrhea the first day. The second day I took my dose, afterwards I got weak and lightheaded and could not eat. I called the office and they said I could discontinue use if I wanted to so I did."


"I've had the Nexplanon implanted now for 18 months; I love not having to remember a pill or patch, but the entire time I've had it, my periods last 2 to 3 months without stopping, then about a week or two off, and the next 2 to 3 months is my next one. If the point is to be able to have sex and not get pregnant, I'd say this one was a major fail. I'm getting ready to have it taken out. At least on the nuva ring, it did what it said without even any spotting."


"My orthodontist prescribed this and it works wonders, I also have Botox injected into my jaw, both work like magic. Insurance covers the Valium but not the Botox."


"Really helps with mood swings and made me calmer. It also made me gain 50lbs in 6months. It's extremely hard to control your weight on this pill."


"Worst decision I ever made as I am far worse now with frequency, always feeling like I need to urinate, UTIs and pain.  Can't sleep at night with going to the bathroom 8 or more times, and lack of sleep triggered my depression."


"So far I have had Skyla for about two and a half years, It works great,aside from very minimal cramps there is only one major complaint I have,I am 23 but can never have a clear face,as if I am ten years younger. If you do not mind having severe acne it definitely does it's job and prevents pregnancy 100% if put in correctly, Occasionally my partner can feel the strings,as well. And sometimes I do have bleeding from around my cervix if intercourse was a bit rough. I also sometimes have trouble with "dryness" but am unsure if that is related to Skyla. Overall,if you do not wish to have children whatsoever and do not mind having acne,I believe this would be a go-to birthcontrol!"


"Femhrt worked wonderful.  Had to wait a couple of months for the full effect so give it time.  The only downfall is that it is expensive and does not have a generic."


"I have suffered from depression on & off since childhood as I had gone through a lot of trauma in my childhood. I believe my brain was rewired due to the depression I've endured since - that first started when I was 9 yrs old. I've been on about 14 different antidepressants of all types (including MAOI 's & mood stabilizers & none of them had really worked for me. I gave up on everything - & truly believed I'd just had to accept wanting to die almost daily for the rest of my life!!! I finally asked my Dr. if I could try any new antidepressants & he prescribed Pristiq.
This is the start of my 3rd month on it & it's changed my life! I'm actually feeling wonderful & have found hope again! On 50mgs/day."


"It is so upsetting that I can no longer get Quinine Sulfate for use when my legs cramp at night.  I call my symptoms Dancing Legs because they just won't calm down without quinine.  "


"I am about two weeks into taking escitalopram.  The first two days were side effect free. But after that I was vomiting constantly and could barely eat anything. I have lost five pounds and I am already a small girl. I experience very mild headaches here and there. Mostly at night when I am trying to sleep. One minute I am constipated and the next I have diarrhea. Not cool. I cannot eat much at all, have NOT lost any sexual interest. Now that I am two weeks into the medication I am experiencing additional anxiety like heart palpitations and feelings of wanting to break down crying over nothing.  I used to be on a higher dose of ‘citalopram’ which caused no side effects but this one is hard on my body. Hope it works for my anxiety eventually"


"Wrapping up week 8 with Pristiq. First depression treatment attempt, therefore unable to compare to similar drugs. Notable: elevated mood, on-and-off headaches, sleepiness, confusion, poor coordination, decreased appetite, consistent sex drive. Positive effects of drug definitely outweigh set backs. Thanks Pristiq. Everyone is different and therefore no two people are expected to react the same."


"I've been on this pill for 1 year now. I agree with previous posters that every woman is different and we all will have a different experience.
I personally loved this pill. I'm not breastfeeding and I've never had any side effects. My partner and I use this as our only form of contraception (meaning no condoms or withdrawal) and I haven't gotten pregnant. (Though please do your own research and access the risk before deciding to do this because the mini pill is slightly less effective than the combined pill).
I would also like to note that I have suffered from anxiety my entire life and I haven't felt any different since starting the pill.
This pill has been perfect for me and I will continue taking it."


"I always have high BP when I go to the doctor. I guess it's called white coat syndrome. Anyway my doctor had me checking my BP and keeping track of it. It was always okay. One time I had forgot to bring in the record and boom she puts me on Lisinopril 10 mg. I think the doctors get a kick back or something. She never talks of me getting off of it either. After awhile I started having bad leg cramps. She just said I was dehydrated and to drink more water. I swear she doesn't care one way or another about my health."


"I got nexplanon at planned parenthood for free a little over 2 years ago. It really didn't hurt very much to get it inserted, although my arm was a little sore the rest of the day and maybe the next. Insertion was overall no big deal. I honestly can't remember what my periods were like when I first got it, but after 2-4 months I didn't have a period at all. I loved not having a period, but it may not be for everyone. I didn't have a period up until 3 months or so ago and they've been awful. I will have my period for 10-15 days, then get it again a week later. I'm switching to something else tomorrow when I see my doctor. I have noticed more acne than usual for me, but nothing extreme.  Weight gain has been minimal if at all."


"I'm 17 and have been taking this for about a month now for ADHD. I started at small doses of Ritalin (10 mg) and then moved to 20 mg. My doctor thought it would be easier to just put me on Concerta since it's 18 mg a pill. I then took 36 mg of Concerta which didn't work out. I got major irritability and started feeling depressed. Even my focus was off. I went back down to 18 mg and it's working much better. No irritability, depression feeling. Make sure you're on the right dose for your body, too much can do more harm and too little may not do any thing."


"The first week it wasn't too good but after it was in my system..BRILLIANT! I am happy, in control of my emotions and back studying and being the best mum I can be ...wonderful."


"Zoloft was the first medication I was prescribed for Depression.  It worked well in that it kept me from screaming at my family, and elevated my mood.  I was on a low dose of 50mg.  In time, it seemed I became immune to it so I was switched to Prozac because a friend had recommended it."


"It saved my life. So thankful I gave it a chance."


"My 8yr old daughter has been on Vyvanse for almost 2yrs. She started on 20mg a day, she seemed to be doing better as far as focusing, but very emotional. Her doctor decided to up her dose to 30mg and now 40mg. The 40mg also seemed to help at school her grades went up and she was able to pay attention. I'm now noticing that my little girl is not the same person, she's has become rude, depressed, emotional, getting in trouble, suicidal and just out of control. Parents really should keep a journal of changing side effects they notice. Needless to say my daughter is no longer taking this medication and not yet found one to replace it."


"This medication was a nightmare for me... less than an hour after taking the first pill, I had fever and chills that never left me for the 10 days I took that medecine. I felt horrible, exhausted (my body was fighting against fever all the time), got headaches, joint pain, back pain... I could not take it after 10 days..."


"This medicine has worked wonders on my chronic back pain. I have tried everything from Tramadol to Opana ER and for the price Roxicodone 30mg tops them all if taken as prescribed, and at the same time each day. The only downfall is that you must take the pills more frequently than say MS Contin or Oxycontin where you only need them every 12 hours. However that was my main problem with the Opana, Oxycontin, Etc., they didn't seem to last the full 12 hours as advertised. I was lucky if I got a good 8 hours from them."


"I just started using this birth control and so far I love it. This is my first month and I did not gain any weight and my period is very light, which I love! I have had an acne problem for about almost 1 year. I started using Proactiv a couple of days before I started the Microgestin Fe 1/20 and I wasn't seeing a big difference in my skin until I started to use the birth control. I would recommend this to everyone!"


"Very quick response to lowering eye pressure from 30 to 21 in 3 weeks. No side effects at all."


"I had decided to get Mirena as I am horrible at remembering to take pills. I have never had children and they aren't in my plans. At age 34 I had it inserted and it hurt more than I thought it would. It reduced my period frequency & the amount, BUT it completely killed my sex drive, which now, 2 years later is still non existent. I felt depressed soon afterwards and it never went away. I gained 20  pounds, which is odd as I eat well most of the time & go jogging with my boyfriend. Even he is now convinced that my lack of a sex drive, weight gain & inability to loose weight is a side effect of the Mirena. I just made an appointment to have it removed & plan to next just get my tubes tied."


"Great drug for me.  I am a 42 yo wife who has been taking Lexapro for 5 weeks and I love it! Only side effect is crazy dreams. Before this I thought of suicide almost daily.  Now, I feel like I can go on. I threw a Halloween party and invited 40 people over.  I'm getting back to the old me. I meet with my doctor in 2 days and I can hardly wait to tell him what a difference this medication has made in my life. I'm so grateful."


"I was on a hormonal birth control pill for many years.  I could set a clock by my periods... start on a Tuesday, off by Saturday.  It was great.  I turned 35 and my Doc would no longer prescribe the hormonal pill.  So, enter Jolivette.  The first two weeks, my nipples were so sore and I was so bloated that I thought I might be pregnant.  Then, my period started 1 week early and lasted for 9 days!  A very heavy 9 days as well.  1 week later, heavy bleeding again.  I don't think Jolivette and I are going to be friends."


"I couldn't sleep at all.  It made my heart beat fast.  Overall physically I felt very uncomfortable and unstable. I stopped it and went back to Zyprexa."


"I had unprotected sex on December 10th which was my peak ovulation time. I took Plan B within 72 hours. No ejaculation inside of me hopefully. My period was supposed to come on December 24th and did not. I had the worst, worst side effects ever, nauseous, very tender breasts, light headed, headaches, tired, the week my period was supposed to come along with brown discharge for over 7 days but a light flow. One day I had a light flow of red blood about 4 days after expected period but then quickly disappeared. I have taken 6 pregnancy tests and all are negative. You may think I am crazy for that many tests, but my body has been so messed up like it's pregnant that I resorted to testing everyday."


"Worked as expected. No solid food after dinner two nights before procedure day, clear liquids only, began at 6:00pm, then chased each glass of prep with ginger ale on ice for taste. Important to use straw with prep; helps bypass the taste on tongue. Residual cleansing continued into the night for several hours, but not too inconvenient."


"Best med for sleep"


"Started this medicine 2 days ago.  Slept for 14 hours straight.  Hunger just kicked in and I ate a huge sandwich and drink and I'm still hungry.  Changed dose to 1/2 of 4 mgs and got up this morning normally.  I intend to build up slowly because of the sleepiness side effects.  I intend to stay on this due to my fast metabolism and stress to get back to normal.  I think it is working!"


"Was given in ER for cramping.  Worked quick!  Lasted for several hours."


"I get very occasional migraines, sometimes out of the blue, sometimes exercise triggered. I always get a visual aura minimum, sometimes get pins and needles down one side. Untreated I will get the tropical crashing migraine but, thankfully, not for more than a day. I used to use Migraleve but often couldn't keep the tablets down. Maxalt Melt has been fantastic. If I can get one within 20 minutes to half an hour of the visual aura and get to bed it will knock my out for a few hours. I either escape the headache completely or have a fairly short lived one, say 2 hours. no sickness either. Superb drug."


"I have been on accutane for a little over two months now. My acne was terrible before taking this. I had been on everything on the market. In the first few weeks of treatment my skin got worse, but now it is fantastic with few bumps. My skin isn't very dry, just my lips. I play a lot of sport and experience joint and chest pain in many of my matches. I'd rather experience little physical pain over the emotional and physical pain of having acne."


"I had severe mood swings while on this medication. My periods were heavy, irregular, my cramps were painful it was truly an awful experience. I had it in for the full three years, and although it did its job of preventing pregnancy, since I've been off it for three months I have never felt better. I lost the 20 pounds I gained on this medicine."


"I am a 15 year old female. I started taking Vyvanse around 5 months ago. When I first started taking it I saw a difference immediately. I was always on 50mg. It made me very irritable and emotional the first times I took it. Currently, I've been taking this for a few months and it is starting to become less effective on me. I am now starting to double up my doses taking 50mg to 100mg a day. It gets me through the day and keeps me awake. Not to mention excellent grades in school."


"I tried this medicine for 2 months, I lost 9 lbs. It was hard falling asleep at night, most nights I couldn't fall asleep until 4 or 5 am. It also made me feel depressed."


"I had about 25 pounds to lose so my doctor prescribed Contrave. I was super excited to try it! I took it for two days and woke up the second day with the worst migraine of my life and vomiting.  I stopped taking it but felt ill (nauseous) for the rest of the week. That Saturday I got a fever. My Tuesday my fever had spiked to 103 and I was vomiting with a headache. I went to the ER and my liver enzymes had shot through the roof (almost 400). The doctors think I got Hepatitis from this medication.  I have been so sick, nauseous, fever, chills, body aches, fatigue, headaches.  I was a totally healthy (although a little overweight) 40 year old female who doesn't drink or do any drugs who got seriously I'll on this medication."


"People reading and writing birth control reviews need to think carefully about how individual hormonal contraceptives are.  A woman who has never been on the pill is bound to take a few months to adjust to the introduction of a new hormone.  That said, I love Seasonique.  I had been on Nordette for years - a low dose combination.  I always got migraine after stepping off the active pills, triggered by the pre-period hormone dip.  They were horrendous vision-impairing headaches.  With Seasonique (same medication combination), I only have this dip every three months.  Fantastic!  Sometimes I get my 2-day headache from hell right before my period, sometimes I can avoid it.  Seasonique literally keeps me from missing work due to migraines."


"Today is November 17, and I just finished my second week using saxenda. It has sure been a life saver for me. I have dieted with every diet out there, lost a few pounds, but always hungry and always felt I was giving up the foods I love. I am a food addict, no doubt about that. I eat when I a happy, I eat when I am sad, I eat just to eat. I think of food 24/7. This medication has helped me with this. I still think about food, but I don't obsess about it, and I still eat what I want, but in much less amounts. I am down 6 pounds, and excited to see how this goes. I will be going up to 1.8 this week.
Dawn"


"As other users have stated, I have had severe stage fright anxiety since I was at highschool. I dread presentations, I would avoid them at all costs!! But it has come to a time in my life when I could avoid them no more, so I did some googling and this wonderful drug came up. I went to my doc, he said it was safe to use. I took 20mg 1.5hrs before my speech, I was sceptical though! But when It was my turn, I got up and felt nothing.. It was amazing!!! My usual fight or flight response was gone! No rapid pounding heart, no sweats, no shakes, no nervous voice, NOTHING! I was cool and calm, it was unbelievable! Would recommend to anyone suffering severe performance anxiety. But also note it does make you feel a little sluggish, Goodluck!"


"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."


"I am 18, (NO KIDS) currently have Mirena in and it has been in for 5 days now. All I have to say for anyone who is considering having the IUD inserted... choose wisely! First of all, you probably think the same exact thing I did, women are only writing bad things, it won't be as bad as they say. Well i'm here to tell you they are wrong. My obgyn which mind you is also a midwife, FAILED to tell me how very painful my lower back and abdomen similar to back labor, were going to be  for the next FIVE DAYS. Terrible stabbing pain all over, migraines every single day, my right leg is numb all the way down to my knee. Insertion was probably the worst thing I have ever experienced. Needless to say, it's getting removed tomorrow...."


"I'm 24, I don't have kids and I've never been pregnant.  I've been with my boyfriend for 8 years, and kids just are not in our near future.  I have been on the pill since I was 14 and just recently we wanted to try something long term.  I got the Mirena put in 2 days ago.  I was nervous and so scared because of all the bad reviews I read about it before I went to have it put in.  While getting the Mirena put in there were 3 cramps, each cramp were worse than the other but none were unbearable.  Once the Mirena was put in, they did an ultra sound to be sure that it was in place and my doctor said everything looked great.  I went back to work after I got it put in, I was tired and a little uncomfortable for the rest of the day.  Then all good"


"have been taking benzonatate for about 4 days, with no relief whatsoever from coughing.  In fact, I think it has gotten worse since beginning this drug"


"I just started taking the pill and 2 and a half weeks in my period started.  It was reg/light flow but the cramps are horrible. I've never had cramps like that and it lasted for six days straight not to mention I'm going on 10 days still bleeding a regular flow and it doesn't look to lighten up anytime soon. I thought it would lighten and shorten periods but I'm having an opposite reaction."


"Best decision I ever made regarding birth control. In high school I had the worst time with birth control making me sick so in 2012 I decided to do some reaserch and got the implant in my arm. It hurt a little for about 1 1/2 weeks and for the first month bleed and spotted every day but since then have not had any periods at all have been sexually active and not gotten pregnant. If I did gain weight I didn't notice.  also with having depression my depression didn't get any worse which was what I was mainly worried about."


"I've been on a number of birth controls for the past 10 years and this is by far the best. Not perfect, but the best yet. I Have 4 kids, my last 2 were both birth control babies! I decided to try this. Insertion wasn't what I expected I was nervous for nothing! I bled for the first month but after that I had very light periods and now I have none at all. I get cramps as if I am about to but either don't or just get very small spotting. No issues so far and no pregnancies. No weight gain, no nausea, no headaches and no other side effects. Highly recommended for at least a try!"


"This medicine made my anxiety worse. While I was very focused, I had a bad month while I was using this."


"I experienced multiple transient ischemic strokes and my neurologist prescribed Aggrenox.  Following the first dose I felt my head was going to explode and got extremely nauseated.  I ended up in the emergency room.  I now list Aggrenox as a medication that I am allergic to because of the severe side effects.  I continue to use Aspirin, Plavix and other medications to try to prevent strokes."


"I took xolair for chronic idiopathic urticaria, the hives disappeared after the first injection. The 3 first months was 300mg per 4 weeks. After 3 months the hives came back… reactine, and blexten ( new antihistamin) can't do anything for my hives. The doctor increase my xolair to 300mg per 2 weeks. The hives completely disappeared but, after the injections I have headaches for 3-4 days and I'm so tired. But for the moment is more acceptable that have hives and angioeodema ! ( sorry my english is bad)"


"Best pain ointment I have ever tried"


"I started taking this about 2 weeks ago and I have yet to have a period while on it but so far, it's alright. I got sick about an hour after taking it. It also gave me a horrible yeast infection. But that all went away and now I'm back pretty much to my normal self. I will continue to keep using it"


"I loved Depo-Provera while I was on it, but coming off of it has been hard. I suffered from depression and weight gain while I was coming off of it. "


"Medication worked great now insurance decided to stop covering it"


"I have been prescribed Methadone on and off for about 18 years. I have chronic pain from fibromyalgia, degenerate disc disease, TMJ, and presently hammertoe and a bone spur on my foot. This medicine was first prescribed due to inability to afford Oxycotin. This medicine was first prescribed at a 40 mgs dose. I found this medicine to work better than the previous medication. Years later, I went to another pain clinic and they prescribed it at 20 mgs. It has worked great for 3 years.  It is time for an increase. The only thing I don't like is the stigma of being a medicine for drug addicts. I have chronic pain, I don't consider myself to be a drug addict."


"I have been taking Diclegis for 2 weeks now and I feel amazing. Taking 3 pills a day seems to be the magic dose for me. I previously tried Zofran which helped minimally but I was still nauseous and vomiting violently a few times throughout the day. I work full time so I really needed something more effective so my doctor recommended I try Diclegis. Two thumbs up, just a little pricey."


"Three back surgeries and degenerative disc disorder, Pain 24/7."


"I am 46 years old on blood pressure medicines and have been experiencing erections over the last couple of years that are not very firm and at times not hard at all. I took one Cialis 20MG and within 30 minutes I had an erection that was harder than I have had in years. Cialis lasted for over 36 hours as I was able to achieve a very hard erection many times. My wife was very happy and tired by the end of the weekend.... Amazing science!"


"About 3years ago I used the product and woke up swollen terribly the episiotomy to have my son wasn't swollen like that   -I was not looking at the same va jj my bf and I went to the e.r and was asked all kinds of questions. But I never asked the right ones. Like what ingredients made me react like that? And what do I take if I ever get a YI again?"


"Used Jubia for about 4 months, and all I can say is amazing amazing amazing. I've had toe fungus for 12 years, and nothing ever worked. I had it on every single toe, and they were all severe, painful, and inflamed all the time. Some of the nails took a little longer than others, but 100% success! This product clearly doesn't work for everyone, but anything is better than liver killing meds. If you have the means to try it, TRY IT. It is an expensive product, but there's a 50 50 chance it could work!"


"I was on decadron and vimpat (Lacosamide, another anticonvulsant), and I'm pretty sure the vimpat was compounding the side effects of the decadron (mood swings, weight gain, blood sugar issues ('m also diabetic).Plus, I was still having seizures, especially whed I tried to work out (mostly running, but sometimes on an elliptical machine.
I asked to be put back on the keppra I had taken for 6 months prior to being moved to the vimpat. I've been able to run again, and am having fewer seizures (although had one this morning after doing the ADA diabetes step out 23 mile walk and sprinting the last half mile to get to a restroom.
I definitely feel like the keppra is more effective against seizures, still, and doesn't compound the side-effects "


"I am here to tell you 2 years after having my left kidney removed I am stable, and have been on Sutent since February 2009. I am the Cheryl that commented December of 2009. I am still grateful to the makers of Sutent.  I am now on 37.5 instead of the initial 50mg and it is more tolerable.  I have been stable for the last 6 months. I have one tiny nodule left in my liver. I started with 14 nodules in the lungs and 3 in the liver.  "


"Works great. I can now sleep at night"


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


"I took Prozac for 15 years and it worked great for obsessive compulsive disorder!  About 3 years ago I started noticing "mania" where I couldn't sleep or sit still to even eat.  After seeing several different doctors who treated it with medication for ADHD or Bi-polar it was determined that it was a side effect to Prozac so I stopped taking Prozac and all the mania stopped. Google shows two side effects to Prozac are 1) can't sit still and 2) can't sleep at night.  I wanted to share this unusual experience to help any others who may be experiencing mania and can't figure out why.  If you too are on Prozac then it may be a side effect but check with your doctor. "


"I like to read reviews on any medication I am thinking about taking before I commit. I was horrified by some of the reviews I read for this medication. I was on several other birth control pills before trying this one and never found one that suited me. My doctor recommended that I try Lo Loestrin Fe and I am so glad that she did. I love this pill. I never have my period, which I LOVE! It freaked me out the first few months but once I got used to not having a period I absolutely love it. I have been on it for 2 years, my husband and I never use any other protection or pull out and I have never had any pregnancy scares. I never had any of the side effects that I read in the other reviews. Obviously everyone reacts differently, but I love it."


"Well, I don't know if I'm the only one on here but this did not work very well for me. My skin started being much more red (especially in my face). Under my eyes looked sickly. I had a harder time falling asleep.  I even began to have ocular problems. I still was having panic attacks and severe depression--I suppose I was less manic though?"


"I'm 19 , its my first yeast infection and holy moly does it hurt. My skin down there is raw and burns like hell. I was given and Diflucan to help with the yeast infection. Me, wanting to hurry the healing process, bought monistat 7 because someone recommended it for me & when it came to inserting it was uncomfortable and then boom the sensation of itching and burning came ! Whoa Baaaad experience. Itches a lot . The itching has slowed down a bit already but still once applied it burns & itches like craaazy."


"I've been on this pill for four months now. I used to have extremely heavy periods that could last longer than a month. This pill has reduced my period to a week and it's what I imagine is normal instead of heavy. Since I started this pill, I've had extremely strange experiences with my stomach. I have a lot of stomach problems but this has been a lot worse. I'm nauseous almost all the time now, with the mornings being the worst. I experienced discomfort in my upper right abdomin, mimicking gallstones or an infection. Went to the ER, they had no idea what it was. Unsure if this is related to this medication, but there definitely seems to be a relation between it and the nausea. No acne or weight gain from me, as I've been reading about."


"short-term OK for pain would not want to take long term I am a cancer survivor and my most of my body hurts all the time I have yet to find a pain medicine that is safe and effective and non-addictive that helps with this side effect of massive amounts of chemo it's been 6 years and I've been living in pain everyday I understand why Colorado and California legalize marijuana I don't smoke pot I used to. but if someone comes over with a joint I may take a hit and I will say that marijuana does help the pain I would not want to use as a recreational drug but it does help the pain better than any opiate that I've ever taken"


"I am so pleased have this medication that we have
used in curing my wife breast cancer which almost took her life away.
We appreciate the thoughtfulness in crafting this medication and
thoroughness in delivering helpful advice. We also appreciate the
approachability and willingness to speak with my wife before and after
she has been cured. Thank you again for helping to create the next generation of medication. We hope to assist you in the future!As you prepare for the winter weather and Christmas Day celebrations,I hope you and your family are enjoying a festive holiday season!We feel blessed to be able to not only enjoy a meticulously prepared medication, but also to share the experience with so many loved ones. Love,"


"I have been using this BC for a little over a year now. Before I started, my period was normal (every 28 days for about 5 days) and I was a pretty mellow person. Right now I go about 3 months with no bleeding and then maybe 1-2 months of light bleeding. My mood has changed a lot since I then and my headaches are very severe when I get them. I get very irritated at the smallest things and I feel myself slipping into moods where I don't want to talk to anyone for 2-3months at a time, but I am lucky to have a friend to call me out when I get like that. This BC is very convenient for me due to my crazy schedule and I plan on keeping it in since I am able cope with the side effects. But I still wish I didn't have to deal with them."


"This is my second week on vyvanse and all I can say is WOW!!!. The fact that I haven't thought about food all day long is a miracle. I've binged for around 36 years. I have gained and lost more weight than I care to mention. I hope anyone with BED finds help."


"I have Nexplanon since May of 2015 I hate it because of bleeding issue, I have my period everyday none stop its not heavy bleeding but still it's annoying. Beside that I gain so much weight I want to blame Nexplanon because I alway kept my weight in between 140/156 after I implemented Nexplanon nothing has changed in my diet but I'm keep gaining so I'm definitely taking out this week. Hope I will go back to my normal weigh soon."


"My boyfriend and I had an accident where the condom slipped last week on Wednesday, May 15. Within the first hour, we went to a pharmacy and I took Plan B One Step. I was nervous because my period didn't come on Saturday, like it was supposed to. Keep in mind that I also recently went off of birth control so I could switch brands, so my period would have been erratic anyway. Still, as you can imagine, I lived the next days in panic. But the package on the box says to wait up to one week after your expected period. It has been nine days since I've taken the pill, but sure enough, this morning, Friday, May 24, I woke up with terrible cramps and lots of bleeding. I've never been so happy to get my period!"


"The only thing I've tried that works. These patches are GREAT! I have no sensations at all. If you're a heavy smoker and really want to stop smoking, I recommend you use these. I will NEVER smoke again because of these patches. I also use the Nicotine Gum."


"I was diagnosed at 20 and put on muscle relaxers and pain killers that did nothing more than immobilize me.  I read about the guaifenesin treatment and asked my doctor for a prescription.  I started at 1200mg extended release 2x daily.  FINALLY I had my life back.  When Mucinex took away the generic option, I dropped to 600mg 2x daily, and it still does the trick.  12 years later, I still swear by it. I have occasional set backs, but I always bounce back within a week."


"I just started the medication 10mg for 14 days then 20mg for

1 month then doctor wants to see me I have been diagnosed with anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, depression, and depersonalization. I have been on the celexa for five days an although the doc told me it would be 3-4 weeks for full effect I smiled today, I don't feel heavy with thought, I feel like I will come back to me I didn't mind wander or get too into my head today. That's a great feeling, I think I'm going to be okay!"


"One of the very first side effects of this drug was spotting which I was ok with, but during the very first two months I experiences horrible cramping, way worse than the cramping of my usual period, I literally felt like my uterus was going to explode...it hurt that bad. Along with that also came the side effects of a burning vagina - very uncomfortable and worse it lasted a while, to the point where I didn't want to have sex. Also for 2 weeks I was very depressed. This drug caused me to be extra sensitive to everything. Along with that on the 4th month of taking this I started to get hives all over my forehead. They were terribly itchy and nothing made them go away, even after I stopped taking it, it took months for it to go away :("


"Stopped the infernal itching (from poison ivy) within 15 minutes and dramatically reduced the spelling of the blisters."


"Ok back in May, I decided I wanted to get back on birth control. On June 10th I had gone to get on the first day of my period for the month. I had gotten it and it burned like hell when getting put in my arm. But once the burning stop (after a few days) I felt alright physically but it had made me pretty emotional for the next few weeks. Then July 10-11th came around and I started my period and thought maybe it takes time to get adjusted well... I'm now into month 4 of this constant bleeding.. And it's rarely ever red. It's a dark almost black brown with globs of I don't know what (maybe blood clots?) and I didn't go back to get my second shot because the bleeding freaked me out but it's still going.. And I don't know if that's a bad sign.."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"It took 2-3 months for everything to regulate, but now that I've been on it for almost a year, I love it. My cramps aren't as bad, bleeding is much lighter than it used to be, hormones are 1,000 times more steady, and best of all: only 4 periods per year! Only drawback is that I get random menstrual-like cramps, but they're very light, don't even need to take ibuprofen, it's more of a small annoyance than anything. I haven't gained weight, but my face has broken out some over the past 1-2 months; it didn't for the longest time so I'm not sure whether there's a correlation to the Beyaz or not. I take it at night, because if I take any kind of birth control in the morning I feel extremely dizzy/nauseous all day. Overall an awesome choice!"


"Everyone's Experience with a drug will be different. In my case, being a 6ft, 170 pound male with depression on 50mg of zoloft , I had a good experience. It wont be the same for everyone but you have to hang in there until you find the right medication. I tried lexapro previously 10mg and it was too intense for me. Zoloft is a little bit softer and less intense (for me anyway) . The first two weeks sucked , I had increased anxiety and it was hard to sleep but it was worth it. I was going through withdrawal syndrome from lexapro (i stopped taking it) and the zoloft cured me in about 3 days. it has helped my depression alot, and a little bit of my anxiety. I want to stay on 50mg as long as possible and i am hoping this will last.  I"


"I am 44 years old and have suffered from general and social anxiety as long as can remember and have used many drugs through the years. I am currently on remeron, wellbutrin and buspar. I take 10mg of buspar 3 times a day and it has a subtle calming effect on the mind and body. If you are looking for a drug that will let you forget you have anxiety, buspar is not for you. If you are looking for a drug that is non habit forming, that has a low side effect profile, has no withdrawal issues and will help you manage your anxiety than buspar is you you. Good luck."


"I got the implant April 19th and I have a couple symptoms. I noticed that I have lost some of my sex drive, mood swings, and I've been spotting for 8 days after my 4 day period. It's very very annoying, but I'm going to see if it gets any better."


"I'm 32 and had the Mirena IUD inserted 4 months ago. I started experiencing relentless acne on one side of my jawline almost immediately which was unsightly and embarrassing. I googled if there was a correlation between the two and found endless websites stating there was. When I read that spironolactone helped many women, I called my OB/Gyn and asked her for a prescription which she had no problem with and sent my prescription to the pharmacist without an appointment. I've taken 25mg for only 6 days so far and have already noticed an impressive improvement without any side effects. So happy!"


"It is excellent for muscle spasm conditions."


"I love the medication its the only one that worked for me but the name brand is the one. I tried the generic and it did not work but it is very expensive."


"Hello,  this birth control was wonderful for me! I spotted maybe a week. I have never had kids but the insertion was not terrible at all and everything was just amazing!"


"28, suffer from MTHFR (can't have hormones so this was one of my only options)  NO ONE TELLS YOU THAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A MIRENA LIKE CRASH WHEN GETTING THIS REMOVED.    Google mirena crash if you've never heard of it.  After I had this removed for only having it a month I cried for days and became super depressed.  Please be aware when trying this out whenever you have it removed you WILL be severely depressed for about a week. As far as symptoms go felt instantly different after having inserted.  Deep depressing thoughts and felt like i was in a constant fog...high. I didn't want to wait it out to see if I'd adjust as I just felt weird all the time, not myself..and the strings constantly poking me and my partner"


"I've never had weight gain like this in my entire life, 10-12 pounds in just a month. On top of that I didn't get my period at all, which would be a plus for some people, but it just freaked me out and I needed up taking a bunch of tests because I've never been able to skip my period before. Crazy mood swings, lots of crying, don't recommend at all."


"I used to sweat under the arms excessively.  All my tee shirts had yellow stains.  My doctor prescribed this once back in 2000.  Yes it burned somewhat, but it totally stopped the underarm perspiration.  I haven't sweated under my arms much since about the end of 2000.  I had the prescription renewed in June 2001, and that bottle is still half full, since I have totally stopped underarm perspiration, and I haven't had to use it in 11 years!"


"OMG!  I got my first YI at 38!  I rushed to the store and got the Monistat1.  Well, i thought it was working.  FYI - it made me UNGODLY itchy and even burned for hours after I took it.  Then,  the next day I thought it was better.  The 3rd day - YI was coming back!  So went back to the store and got a 3 day.  During all this - my hubby got it and is now using the 3 day cream per the pharmacist.  Ughhhhhhhhhh  What a nightmare!"


"I am a 60 year old male who has suffered with depression and panic attacks. In my late 30s, I decided to seek help.  Like many others, the list of medications my doctors tried would fill a dictionary.  Some worked for a while.  I refused to take Lithium.  In my late 40s, I was also diagnosed with ADD.

I now use 4 medications successfully: Effexor XR 450 mg daily, Xanax 1 mg daily, Adderall XR 60 mg daily, and Strattera 25 mg daily.

I am now free of both depression and panic attacks for nearly 10 years!  I am comfortable in public speaking and find that I love the adrenalin-rush!

I've tried to stop using Effexor XR but always restarted because of the horrible depression.  Withdrawal is like a bad acid trip.  Use Effexor to stay alive!"


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


"I have been taking the Zohydro 50 for about 8 months now.  I started off with the Hyslinga 80 mg but it was not lasting the full 24 hours so my Pain Dr. put me on the Zohydro 50mg twice a day.  For the most part it has worked well... I loved the fact that I did not have to take 6 pills a day to try to manage my pain..  And I will say the Zohydro worked a lot better that taking all those pills.  My last appointment I got my prescriptions and took to the pharmacy only to find out that my insurance company... Blue Cross/Blue Shield... Yes I am blasting them...  Ended up having to go back on the Hydrocodone 10mg 6 times a day and it is NOT working... In CONSTANT Pain... So upset about this!!!"


"I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta. After getting Aredia for years and not seeing much improvement (maybe it prevented deterioration), I received Aclasta for 2 years and my bone density went from very fragile to just below average. That was 2 years ago. No side effects and no deterioration as of yet.

I'm very happy to be repaired."


"Negligible improvement of Chronic Rhinitis. Multiple nasty side effects including, headaches, sore throat, muscular aches in throat, neck and back as far down as the kidneys, occasional dizziness. These symptoms started after about a week of one puff per nostril per day. And they are persisting six weeks after stopping use of this product. It is like having a mild dose of influenza without any fever or elevated body temperature. It might work for some people, but for me it is very bad news."


"Diovan effectively controlled my high blood pressure for 2 years. Then suddenly I developed low potassium levels; fluctuating blood pressure, rapid pulse, ringing in the ears, nausea and deep tissue pain with chronic inflammation. The dose was dropped by 1/2. Sleep apnea began. It took three months- many-ER visits, two hospitalizations and cardiac monitoring to figure out what my blood pressure was actually doing. Eventually it took only 1/4 of the dose of the medication to "control" my pressure without causing side effects.  The onset of these symptoms without doctors recognizing them created concern for me about this medication. I recommend regular monitoring of your own blood pressure."


"Wow! After a 1 year of frustration this really worked. I got an erection after 15 minutes and was able to put on a condom without rushing or worrying about losing my erection. It was so nice."


"I had tried to implanon before they changed it to Nexplanon, but that was a terriable experience because like the reviews said blead ALOT and always had pregnancy symptoms before bleeding 3 weeks out of the month..  I went to the doc and got an estrogen pill and that helped!! Then when the 3 years were up I got the new one nexplanon and I haven't really had that many issues I accurately love it!!!! I recommend it!"


"First medicine I was put on for high blood pressure and no negative reactions.  Very satisfied. Many people have to take various medicines before finding a good "fit"."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"Ok this is my first month and loving this Med already. More energy . I am in love with this med.  Energy levels are the most awesome change in my body. Now the labs are crazy good I pass from cd4 285 after a month 305
By the most incredible change is viral load I started at 290000 copies after a month 210 copies crazy. I hope to get undectetable pretty soon. No side effects yet and my doctor said it is very uncommon have side effect this far into the treatment, this is my first HIV medication I got diagnose back in April 2017 and I started med in June 2017
:) happy I am 40, gym and eating "healthy" most of the time I drink occasionally"


"So I'm very prone to yeast infections and UTIs so this is not new for me. I knew the signs and symptoms of my yeast infection: itching, a lot of discomfort, and thick creamy discharge. I waited it out a couple days because sometimes when they're mild they'll go away on their own, but I couldn't handle the discomfort. So luckily I had Monistat 1 at home so I popped it in and it's been almost 4 hours and I'm feeling amazing. So I guess you're supposed to take this before bed? But I used it at 7:45 AM because I didn't want to be uncomfortable this whole day. I've heard horrible stories about Monistat 1 and amazing ones as well, just depends on your body and how it reacts to the medicine. Not everyone feels results as quick as me! Dont panic!"


"me and my boyfriend have been on contracts for 1 week I am down 4 lbs him 6! We have noticed we don't even think about snacking anymore and we have to make ourselves eat something . He has had no side effects I was nauseated a couple times but it didn't last long! Can't wait to see what the results are after a month!"


"I'm a hoarder. Depressed all my life. My dr. Said lexapro would work. I tried it and took 20mg then 40mg. I don't go garbage dumping anymore, gained weight and sleeping problems. I don't know if its working very well. I know I get a little angry without it. I'm taking wellbutrin too. I wish everyone luck."


"So I started this birth control a little under 2 months ago. I'm 18 years old and was previously on Generess Fe until my insurance didn't cover it anymore. I've noticed my boobs have started to grow more which is a plus. But I am nauseous all the time. Like I feel disgustingly sick. Also I have insane sugar cravings and really bad mood swings. I haven't had a period on this yet most likely because my body is still adjusting. This birth control is effective considering I'm not pregnant! I'm gonna stick with this for a while longer and see if the nausea has calmed down or gone away."


"I would recommend this to anyone. I was put on Plaquenil  in April of 2012 for Lupus symptoms, constant pain( mostly in my legs) extreme fatigue and overall ill feeling. Within 2 months of taking Plaquenil the pain and fatigue had subsided, not completely but has greatly improved over the last year and half &  my health and immune system has also improved and I went from being sick ALL the time to very rarely sick.  It has been a Godsend for me. I wouldn't advise taking the medicine on an empty stomach it will make you sick & nauseous all day long."


"A strong pill for erection but with some side effects.

12.5mg works great (strong erection) 30 min-1h before and lasts for 3h-4h. Its easy to recover erection but can be lost sometimes.

Side effects (0h-4h):
- Stuffy nose

Side effects (4h-12h):
- Stomach discomfort, indigestion
- Sleepiness, trouble sleeping

Tried Levitra, not strong as Viagra but some side effects.
I'm now trying Avanafil (25mg) and by now no side effects (maybe because it PDE5 highly selectivity) but lasts only 2h."


"About to start my fourth pack and I love this birth control. I took birth control (Cyclessa and Yaz and some others I don't remember) in my early 20s and gained a bunch of weight and had a diminished sex drive. Once I stopped taking it I swore I never would again but my skin got really bad in the last few years so I finally, reluctantly, decided to try again. I have virtually no side effects from this pill. My mood hasn't changed, I haven't gained weight (although I went from a C cup to a D cup) and, for the first time in years, my skin is clear. I had spotting the first two months I took it but that's gone away and now my period is super light."


"I use this for nightmares related to C-PTSD. I was getting nightly terrors, just screaming nightmares every night related to flashbacks, I couldn't tell the difference between being asleep or awake and would wake up exhausted and stay that way throughout the day.

With this drug, my nightmares have stopped, but I feel very dizzy and lethargic the next morning, and often more depressed. My sleep is much better, but the mornings are a write-off as I end up in tears for hours after waking. I guess the stress needs to escape somehow and instead of through sleeping, I get more of an effect upon waking. The drug does work to get rid of the nightmares, though."


"I'm only a few weeks into taking this medication and have already experienced great results. I had great skin until I was 21, I started getting severe hormonal acne on my face and back. I currently take spironolactone and epiduo, the combination is working great. I have experienced the medications side effects of having to use the restroom frequently and being dizzy if I get up too fast. To me, the side effects are very livable and easy to adapt to. I think it is important to note the severity of not getting pregnant while on this medication. I was warned that this medication can cause a deformity in male genitalia if you conceive while on this medicine. Always check with your doctor first."


"I was on abilify for 18 months and packed on 80lbs and discontinued it, It made me feel very flat and very tired, my doctor said it was weight neutral but it definitely isn't. Seroquel also made me gain but am on respiridrone now and though I have gained a little it's not as bad as the others. Abilify didn't help my delusions at all and I felt quite depressed on it. I quit it cold turkey and lost 6stone in 7 months but then became ill again. My biggest weight gains were always after I had been out and had a few drinks! Glad to be off it and might look into trying latuda"


"I have been off and on antidepressants for years.  I finally got to the point with being on bupropion 150mg for over two years but my depression kept worsening.  My doctor finally changed my prescription to bupropion xl300mg and my life has drastically changed.  I have so much more energy now.  Before I just wanted to sleep all day.  Now, I am up and active all day and actually want to take better care of myself and my home/family.  It's been amazing -- add in my 24 pound weight loss so far in four months and I'm finally looking forward to my future!  My major side effects that bother me are dry mouth and ringing in my ears.  I also notice that my PMS has worsened, but the positives definitely outweigh the negatives!"


"57 YOM. Taking Cialis/Tadalafil for 3 years & it has changed my life, my wife's life & our marriage for the better. My weak/sporadic erection issues started 4-5 years ago; felt like woody had a perpetual leak. Tried exercise, ginseng, nuts, avocados, oysters etc. with little success. Very frustrating for me & my wife.Decided to see an MD when my wife could not get me hard with oral sex. MD gave me a quick physical/blood test, then he gave me 2 10mg and 30 5mg cialis samples.He told me to take the 10mg on my Friday night & have fun. Wow, was he right! Having rock hard wood & great sex (oral, front or back door) with my wife ever since. Take 2.5mg (breaking 5mg in half) every night before bed with no side effects except great sex!  Good luck!"


"I'm 19, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety and told to take fluoxetine. I have been on it for 3 weeks and since then I have stopped having panic attacks but have experienced some horrible side effects, including headaches, vomiting, heartburn (that lasted hours), insomnia, fits of giggles, lethargy, muscle aches, loss of libido, dizziness, sensitivity to light and a general feeling of not being altogether. So, the medication has stopped my low mood and constant anxiety, but has made me feel ill."


"OK - disclaimer before I start: I have a fairly regular bowel and rarely experience any stomach discomfort!! I did a lot of reading on the Internet so I felt that I was quite prepared for this experience.  I stopped eating solid foods 24 hours before the prep deadline and I only had soup on the morning of prep day.  I put the bottles of the mix into the fridge so when the time came, they were nicely chilled.  At 4pm the day before the procedure, I used cool water to prepare the first cup which I was able to drink (even though I dislike cherry flavor) quite easily.  The "action" started within 45 minutes and I did not experience any pain or nausea or discomfort. I was "done" by 8pm.  And it was the same the next morning."


"I started this medicine five days ago. I suffered from some pretty notable nausea the first two days, and occasionally I get a little lightheaded. Those symptoms have basically worn off, and this is completely tolerable considering I have lost 8 lbs (182 to 174 & I'm only 5'3") in this short period. My appetite is barely there, and I'm full very quickly when I start eating. It's one of those, "OMG I can't eat another bite" feelings which is so strange to me. I've always been a member of the clean plate club!  My doctor was prepared to prescribe Victoza instead of Saxenda in the case that it wasn't covered by my plan, but they only required a prior authorization. I know the weight loss can't continue this quickly, but it's amazing so far!!!"


"I get my Implanon out in July. I have loved it the whole time except when I get spotting constantly. I didn't get my period for the first year after insertion then all of a sudden I got and it was nonstop. My fiance thought I was trying to get out of sex because I always had it when he tried. My acne is up and down. I've gained some weight but not a lot. My other biggest complaint is that my sex drive is bad. I never want to now. Other than that I'm very happy with it and will be getting it again. I'll probably take it out for a couple months to give my body a break and get back into its normal routine before getting it again."


"I am a 28 year old mother of a 10 week old, I had never been on any hormonal birth control before and went on Nuvaring due to it's "low dose" hormone content. At first it seemed like a amazing birth control due to its ease of use and it gave me NO side effects whatsoever UNTIL the beginning of my second week of using it. I began to have tingling in both of my feet and hands and began getting strange sensations/pains in my arms and legs. I quit using it as soon as I researched the side-effects. "


"Psych prescribed Venlafaxine, Neulactil + Mirtazapine (have been on Mirtazapine for 2 years). So far taking Venlafaxine I am energetic, I am thinking clearly, feel more confident & I am not emotional at all. I also noticed my appetite has reduced severely (I gained 16kgs on Mirtazapine). 5 days in I still have very minimal appetite, I am finding that I have a day where I am energetic and days where I am not. I often get a bit of euphoria but I am so far pleased with everything. I expect I will up the dosage eventually. Suicidal thoughts have been minimal but they're occur sporadically. I also have moments where I zone out but this may be because I am still getting used to the medication."


"I am so glad I didn't let all the bad reviews I read about this birth control scare me out of getting it. I completely LOVE it! I am 21 years old, no children, have never been on birth control before and have Factor IV (clotting disorder) so I cannot take any estrogen. Getting the implant inserted wasn't bad at all. I only felt the numbing shot and that was it. I have had it for 6 weeks and have had 2 very light periods. No change in sex drive or mood and no weight gain- yay. I was really worried about that one and my skin looks the same- still no acne. So glad I decided to go forward with getting this birth control."


"First dose of 5mg had little or no 1st effect."


"I have been dealing with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis since 2003. A rare form of the disease that only affects 10% of the MS community. Many people know someone with MS, but very few with this form. To this day I have been repeatedly reminded by the medical society there are no known medications to treat this condition. Vicodin 10/660 has helped with the variety of MS pains and has also eased the mental stress and allowed me to think clearer. I have been allowed to try everything in stock but always come back here. I have not drank alcohol this entire time frame and use Miralax daily to avoid constipation. Hope this helps and God bless."


"I have been on Kariva for about five months. It is my first experience with the birth control pill as I am getting married on September and wanted to be regulated by the wedding. The first couple of months, I experienced mood swings, headaches and weird appetite.  However, my side effects have leveled out.  I no longer have any side effects.  In fact, it has cleared my acne up some. My periods have never been bad but they are now only about 1-2 days long.  I would say my cramps may be a little worse, but since the period is shorter it evens out.  I have not gained weight from this pill.  In fact, along with diet and exercise, I have been able to lose weight while taking this pill.  I would recommend Kariva."


"I have taken 2 10mg doses, great effects both times. Effects have lasted about 48 hours each time. No noted side effects at all."


"Saphris has helped me more than any other medication (which were many, many over 12 years). I was blown away by the benefit and bewildered that it took so long for someone to prescribe it. I still don't have the strength and energy that I need but I am functioning at 80% to 90%. Before it was barely hanging on with suicidal periods. Savella was another good medication for me but not quite this good. The racing thoughts, paranoia, and insomnia are gone. I usually fall asleep within 15 minutes of lying down. Although I am having some nights of waking up after 3 hours. Just getting to sleep earlier and getting the required sleep I need has made a tremendous difference in how I function and cope. My side effect has been arthritis and weight gain."


"I was in a horrific accident.Nothing has worked as well as soma without any effects on the other medicine I take. Why mess with something that works. I also have fibromyalgia which helps with . Also helps muscle spasms. My doctor will still prescribe but insurance won't pay for it. It is hard for me to pay each month but it gives me such relief I feel I have no choice but to buy it. I've tried the ones they suggested they didn't work or clashed with my other meds.
Why is it it when a person like me that is in chronic pain finds a combination that works where we can live a more normal life,they want to mess with it. I wouldn't wish my pain, cramps, spasms on anyone but if they had to walk in our shoes one day maybe they'd put more thought into what they will pay for"


"I started taking phentermine 37.5mg October 18, 2017 once a day. I initially weighed in at 211lb on the date I started taking the medication. As of today November 18, 2017 I have lost 20lbs. I am down to 190lbs!!! I have completely changed my eating habits to no red meats, fried foods, starches, and I try to keep my calorie count right at 1425 per day which was difficult at first but now its much easier. I don't drink soda of coffee anymore but I'm super thirsty all the time. The first weekend I took the medication it made me very jittery and I suffered from insomnia and horrible headaches. After the first four days of being on the medication my symptoms improved and eventually went away. I would recommend starting this medication on a weekend."


"6 weeks into Belviq, and while I don't have the dreaded headache, I have not lost any weight at all, despite of dropping from 3 meals a day to 2, and giving up  soda (diet or regular).  I feel fine, sleep well, but weight exactly the same as I did before I started."


"Im 13, and started using Clindamycin topical about a year and a month ago. My daily routine is using a cleanser to wash my face, apply the clindamycin topical in the morning and the moisturize. At night, its the same routine except a different topical. I am also taking an antibiotic twice a day every day. Last year, my acne WAS TERRIBLE. I was so insecure about it. The topicals and antibiotics helped, but very slowly. It's been over a year and my acne is still very bad. I have not missed one day of doing my routine morning and night, so I am growing impatient. I have done it for over a year and its so little improving my face. I also get chemcial peels every month to help the breakouts coming in. Terrible."


"I haven't experienced this pain that everyone else is talking about. I picked up the product because I wanted the yeast infection to be gone, I took it around 1pm and it's 8pm right now. So far I feel a little relief then before but it's not all the way gone yet. Hopefully I feel nothing in the morning!"


"I was prescribed this medication after having symptoms for 1-2 days. I am not a pill taker. I was in between insurance so I had to go see a minute clinic provider. I was told the drug was highly effective and asked if I wanted to try it. I knew cipro worked in the past, but the prescriber seemed avid that this med would take cake if my symptoms. To no avail, I've had a horrible smell in my urine, a bout of leakage and now on day 4, my bladder and urinary tract burn & literally feels sore and swollen. This medicine is complete crap! I would have been healed by now had I been given the medication I requested in the first place! Now I am out 200 bucks and feel horrible and wondering if I have to go this all over again in 2 days..."
