"I was prescribed diclegis by my OB for extreme nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Diclegis is not covered by insurance so I researched what it was and it's basically unisom and Vitamin B6. Now the active ingredient is what is in the sleep tabs, not gels. The gels have diphenhydramine so if you are using this review to help ease nausea during pregnancy, make sure you are buying the sleep tabs. Anyway, I take one tab at night (Check it is the right dose  doxylamine 10mg) and it totally works. I don't wake up feeling nauseated at all and I sleep through the night. I do feel a little groggy in the AM, but it's hard to tell if it's from the pill or pregnancy in general. Upon further research, I discovered that the tabs were originally so designed to help with nausea. Hope this helps!"


"I have tried over 20 different medications, and Trintellix is the best fit for me. I always describe its effect for me as "being able to turn everything down in my head." I can see how this might not be a good fit for others as it might certainly aggravate "feeling nothing" or "feeling detached." However, as my issue is primarily that I feel TOO much and am unable to step back from my emotions and intrusive, racing thoughts, Trintellix's "detachment" is extremely helpful for me.

I do get nausea for the first week upon taking Trinellix or upping my dosage; however, this subsides for me. I was on 10mg for 8 months and have now increased my dosage to 20mg in hopes of it being even more effective."


"Killed the sinus infection in about a day. I have had chronic sinusitis for 15 years, and this is my go-to medicine."


"6+ years on Synthroid, and this is what I have to show for it..Used to be a size 12 now a 28, no periods, pain all over, Hypo symptoms still, mental and mood symptoms ( anxiety, depression, mood swings) My Growth Hormone is only 40 and my FSH is 78. I can't have children. Finally switched to Cytomel, it broke me out, and still had same symptoms as above. My level was over 20 last they checked. Just got a RX for Armour, hoping I finally get my life back"


"I got Liletta in February. The insertion hurt a little but not too bad and it only lasted a couple minutes (I took ibuprofen 20 minutes before). I was not on my period when I had it inserted. I only had cramping for like 20 minutes after and it was just in my legs. My first period after getting the IUD lasted for a little over 3 weeks and would switch between spotting and heavy bleeding. Since then, my period comes on the same day every month and is very light (fingers crossed it just goes away). I usually can get away with just wearing a liner. I do get leg cramps every time I have a period now though. Usually ibuprofen will make them go away. I haven't had weight gain or acne but I am super emotional now. More than I've ever been."


"heray for pepto !!!"


"Have used Abilify for about 18 months and it has helped me in all aspects. Can focus and can control the racing thoughts and mania attacks. It helps with the outburst and have lost weight."


"I've had anxiety and severe panic attacks for a year now. 10 mg helped but still had attacks on the weekend. I just started 20 mg so hopefully that will stop them completely! The two weeks of side effects (headache, insomnia) are worth the end result!"


"DON"T take with Paxil."


"I have herniated disc as well as severe arthritis in my shoulders and arms.  I have had many days of severe pain and restless nights, very painful mornings while being on many different narcotics that didn't help very much.  After starting Neurontin the pain has almost completely gone.  I am still on Roxicodone but the Neurontin has made all the difference in the world.  I can raise my arms above my head, something I haven't done in months.  It does make me a little sleepy but I am sure that will go away, I have only been taking it for a week now.  My opinion it to take it at night, everyone needs a good night sleep anyway.  It is great for me."


"I got my mirena on February 9th.
I gave it a 9 because I've only had it for 2 weeks but I have had little to no issue
Getting it was like a really bad cramp, I did get dizzy. But it went away shortly after.
My doctor said I had to be on my period and I was on day 2 of my cycle and it actually stopped it, only spotted for 2 days afterwards. Hormonal problems tend to ruin in my family as well has severe PMS. This actually helped me. I also have suffered from anxiety and my anxiety decreased significantly, my husband actually noticed this before me. I feel normal for once. Which makes me extremely happy :)"


"Works great for my anxiety. Have experienced some negative side effects such as terrible night sweats and "highs and lows"."


"I had kyleena inserted two weeks ago.  I'm 20.  No children.  I took a xanax about 45 mins before the procedure and it was over very quickly. The pain was a 7-8 out of 10 but only lasted for a minute. The most unpleasant part was the startling awareness of the feeling of the device in my uterus. I didn't take any pain medicine after,  just ate some ice cream and took a nap. I have brown discharge on a daily basis, and from what I've read this should go away soon. I've never had acne, but I am currently dealing with a rough breakout (8 bumps appeared on the same day). Also dealing with uterus spams that come and go but are not painful... feels like uterus is shaking..."


"This shot is saving my life.  The first 5 days after injection were difficult due to side effects (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches) but they have since dissipated.  I no longer feel any effects and have been clean from IV heroin for 29 days.  I highly suggest this shot for anybody looking to stay off of opiates."


"I had got my Implant Birth control put in Oct. 2016. I was the lucky one to hit all the side affects. Mood Swings, Banging Headaches and  hot/cold flashes. Oh and of course I'm that 1 in a million girl who has had her period for 6-7 months now. I'm around 140 lbs now. I've gained a little weight but I'm not sure if that was from the birth control, or me over eating sometimes. I've had the birth control for about 7/8 months now. I still get the mild headaches everyday, Motrin helps with that. My Sex-drive decreased tremendously. Doc said to try taking 600 mg Ibu-profen every 6hrs for 5 days straight to reduce the flow of my period. I've tried it but I wasn't very consistent due to busy work schedule. So Far, I'm thinking about removing the Nexplanon."


"Right after I had the Implanon removed I switched to Generess Fe, I have been taking the pill over 2 months now and haven't experienced any nausea or vomiting.  No problems with acne. Does what it should - prevents pregnancy and lightens periods."


"Doc prescribed ortho-tri lo but my insurance paid for this alternative. After 2 weeks of taking this pill, I've had cramps and spotting every day and feel very bloated and irritable. I have a call into my doctor asking if I should see it through and hope things improve or just stop and get this out of my system. Frustrating."


"Lifted my mood within the first few weeks of taking - upped dose from 10mg to 20mg but didn't see any change. Kind of flat-lined after that (felt like a bit of a zombie). Side effects weren't too bad though - night sweats, some minor headaches & restlessness."


"Long story short: I have chronic, debilitating pain as a result of Degenerative Disc Disease. I am currently taking 80 mg./day of Methadone, 20 mg. every six hours. Much of the time I take less. Up until the end of December, I was taking Morphine ER, 200 mg./day with 15 mg. immediate release Morphine for breakthrough pain. Unfortunately, my Rx drug plan (and every other I checked) has stopped paying for extended release Morphine as a result of the exhorbinate cost. Not being wealthy, I had to switch to Methadone. Now the fatigue is ruining my life. I'll have to hope for an alternative. Methadone does work on the pain, but the fatigue is just too much."


"Love it. I had 2mg for pancreatitis in the hospital. I hear the pills are good for severe pain, I have never had the pill though. It can make you sick on your stomach though."


"Here is the update. I had my first lab on Sept 1 and my viral load went from 44,000 to 380. My CD4 results didn't come yet.
I will keep you guys updated."


"Been off/on antidepressants for 20  years. Been on 100 mg of Zoloft for about 5 years now and was having some adverse effects- gained a lot of weight for starters.  Started Pristiq about 3 weeks ago. I feel a lot clearer in the mind- guess I didn't realize the Fog I was in on the Zoloft. I'm not hungry- lost seven pounds in the first two weeks. Had some headaches while switching over. Sleep hasn't been a problem- but I have found that I need to take the meds at the same time in the mornings or I have headaches. So far, so good. Hopefully it will continue long term. I will probably be on meds the rest of my life- I've come to terms with that. Hoping this will be the last one I'm on!"


"I have PCOS and so I have a great amount of upper lip hair and on my chin. Instead of pulling 20 chin hair a day I pull about 4-5 if I use the product 2 times per day. I have also noticed over the past 3 months that the hair on my head has been falling out so I backed off on using this product to 1 time per day.  I continue to lose a number of hairs from my head everyday.  I know if I back off to using Vaniqua once every other day my chin and lip hair will increase so not sure what to do."


"Went to the dentist June 14th, with Toothache, had some x rays taken, and saw there was an abscess on one of my upper right teeth. Prescribed me with 200mg, 3 per day of metronidazole which I have had before.  By the Thursday evening the right side of my face was swollen,  and Excruciating pain. Friday was no better. Today, (Saturday) swelling and pain had subsided a lot, but still there, especially in the jaw at the bottom. Hoping that by Monday, last day of taking them the abscess would have gone completely.  Back to the dentist in 3 wks time either to have root canal or have the tooth extracted."


"I begun using doxycyline in December of 2014, I have been struggling with acne since the fourth grade and something needed to be done. My acne got worse the first month but the second and third was a drastic improvement. It is now July and my skin has never looked so great."


"I was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage last week, but I had no external symptoms. I waited a week and still no bleeding. So my ob/gyn prescribed for me misoprostol (Cytotec) which induces contractions and therefore bleeding etc. I was given Tylenol 3 to take to reduce the pain. I had excruciating pain from the contractions to the point that sometimes I could hardly move or talk. I took 400 Advil (Iboprufen)  and felt a little better. I know the Tylenol 3 had no effect on me because it didn't even make me sleepy, not even a bit.

n.b. I don't drink, don't smoke, don't use drugs and therefore I don't believe I have tolerance to any narcotics. Regular Tylenol never works for my kind of pains anyway."


"ultram is the only drug ive had that relieved my pain without side effects

i never require increase of dosage which suits me ...i dont want to be sleep

ly at work so its great for that too"


"My diagnosis: MDD. It is more of a situational depression. I can be ok for years, but as a single mom, business owner and a few family struggles, the stress sneaks up on me and before I know it, there's anxiety, loss of interest, agitation, guilt, shame and some paranoia. I Tried Zoloft and it was ok. Tried cetalophram and couldn't tell if it was working. A doctor gave me venlafaxine a few years ago. I took it for a year and almost took for granted how absolutely life changing this medication was. I lost my insurance when the prescription ran out, so I went without it for a few years. I went back on it last week and it worked again almost instantly. No side effects here just peace!"


"I got the copper IUD (the brand I have is the Mona Lisa) implanted about 4 hours ago and so far am pleased. I am 22, no kids. I took 800mg ibuprofen 30 minutes before and I took another 400mg an hour after. Insertion was painful even after they numbed my cervix a bit but truly not that bad. They warned me when it would hurt so I could anticipate it. It was all over very quickly and I had no trouble walking out of the clinic. About 15 minutes afterward I had some nasty cramps and pain set in, the ibuprofen did not really help but the heating pad has been somewhat helpful. I just sort of had to put up with it. I napped a bit and the cramps are now subsiding, so I hope they stay that way! No spotting or bleeding yet. Will update in 1 month."


"This drug is no longer available in the United States."


"I have been taking reclipsen for 3 months (just finished my third package). I was on Yaz for one year, then Lutera, and now am on Reclipsen. Out of the 3, Reclipsen is hands down my favorite. I stopped taking Yaz after reading scary reviews online, and hearing negative reviews from other women I know. The side effects I experienced were noticable. I experienced a lot of spotting between periods, and if I forgot to take the pill at the exact same time every day, my period started right away--sometimes just hours later! Lutera made my fairly-clear skin break out, and made me EXTREMELY moody and often depressed.

The main side effect I have noticed with Reclipsen is breast growth. At least a cup size this last month! (no complaints)."


"I am a 73 year old male.  I have sufered from periodic leg movement most of my life.  Lately it has been getting worse to the point that it could take me hours to fall asleep.  In addition to that, I have been having nightmares in which I try to protect myself from some threat.  My defense was to punch my wife on the arm.  I have also experienced sleep walking.  I had been taking to sleeping in the spare bedroom so that my wife could get some sleep. This was not a solution that suited either one of us.  When I began taking Requip  I experienced relief from the very first night.  I now routinely sleep the whole night through without nightmares or restless legs/periodic limp movenent."


"I've been on birth control since I was a junior in high school attempting to clear up my skin. I've tried many different kinds, but Nikki combined with Accutane was the only thing that cleared my skin up. Now that I'm finished with Accutane I'm wanting to get off of the bc as well but I'm terrified of the acne coming back. Has anyone else had painful intercourse while on the pill? I recently have been experiencing a lot of pain and my sex drive has went downhill. I did gain weight when I started birth control I was 107 when I started and last time I went to the gyn I was 135. I rarely ever had a period while on this pill. The side effects were really a give and take for me as I was desperate for clear skin but I've had about enough of it."


"I've had the Mirena since 2004.  I had my first one removed after 3 years and was pregnant within a month!  At my 6 week appointment I had another inserted.  Three years later, we wanted another child and were pregnant in a couple of months.  Amazing.  I will admit, after the first one was inserted I cramped and it was miserable for two weeks.  Every one since went in easy and out easy.  I've had no period to speak of for years. I'm coming up on the five year mark and am totally planning on another!"


"I took Avonex for 18 years and was recently prescribed Tecfidera. I have only been on it for three months. I was so happy to not have to inject, but swallowing these pills twice a day takes getting use to. The two side effects I seem to have is being exhausted all the time and my depression seems to be a little worse."


"I've been using Epiduo for about 8 months now and just like you, I was constantly scrolling through websites to see if this stuff really works. Let me tell you that it does..

When I first started using it, I had at least 5 spots a day and my skin also had lots of small bumps underneath it which you couldn't really see in certain lights, but none the less, it didn't give my skin a great look.

So during the first few weeks of Epiduo, you will most probably break out, a lot. I did, and yes it is disheartening but the results are so worth it. My skin is now near perfect and although I sometime do get the odd spot, I am no longer self conscious about my skin, which I definitely was before!

Please stick with it, you will not regret it!"


"My Doctor just prescribed this to me today, 300 mg once a day for 2 days, and then 2 a day for 2 days, and then 3 a day thereafter.
He said it would make me really tired, as I am also on methadone. But I took the one before I was gonna go to bed, and I cannot sleep at all. I am so anxious and on edge right now.. This medication is definitely not for me...I took it a couple hours ago and I'm thinking about making myself puke because its time release so maybe  it's not all in me yet? That is how bad this anxiety is.
And since I'm on methadone, I no longer am prescribed Valium. So this really sucks as I don't have anything to take this edge off."


"I'm 5 weeks into taking Duloxetine for depression and anxiety and have had an overall positive experience.  My anxiety was greatly reduced after only 4 days on 40mg per day including stopping negative thoughts, no more panic attacks at night etc.  The second week I was very tired and depressed without the anxiety, sleeping many hours each day.  But by the third week both depression and anxiety were greatly reduced.  However by the end of the month the anxiety had started to return slightly and my doctor has now increased the dose to 80mg per day.  I had slight nausea, dry mouth and loss of appetite, and some indigestion during the first week or so and now again since I have upped the dose but I imagine these will disappear again soon."


"Unfortunately my procedure didn't go like it should have, but I'm one of few who has had this happen so don't freak out.
But when it was inserted, it was sharp mild cramps but I had taken some pain killers before just to be safe and as they were cutting my strings, they had yanked a little and it was ripped out. The nurse and doctor apologized, saying they had miss measured me and didn't put it in all the way. So they redid the thing again. But, I must say I've loved it. I've had a few instances where I should have been pregnant but the IUD did it's job. Although, I worry a lot over possibilities of it failing, so use extra protection just in case. But so far works 100% for me"


"I love it. It really helps me. I used it after carpal tunnel surgery and I felt no pain with it. I'm using it again because I have kidney stones and this is helping me again. My only problem with it is that after taking it for surgery I had withdrawal symptoms for a day or two...a nasty headache. That was the only problem with it."

"I was prescribed Victoza after developing insulin resistance after having my son. I consistently gained 10 pounds per year, despite increased activity levels. I was 5'7", and 246 pounds. I want to lose 60 pounds. When I first began Victoza, it made me incredibly sick. I had to dial my dose back to .1, and increase by one point every week. Even at that low dose, I experienced decreased appetite, and weight loss. I have also noticed that my constant cravings have mostly disappeared. After 6 months, I  down 45 pounds, and feeling great. My blood sugars are in the normal range, for the first time in FOUR years. This medicine has changed my life."


"Great for the asthma bad for the mood.

Cleared up the runny nose and the cough.

Started to make me think of some very bad things. I was getting angry with everyone over relatively anything."


"Requip was effective, and I thought that I couldn't live without it.  HOWEVER, after about 10 years of increasingly disturbing nightmares, one dangerously extreme nightmare made me realize that something was very wrong.  After stopping the Requip, problem solved.  Now I take one Aleve at one hour before bedtime, and most nights sleep okay.  I have heard that some doctors believe that RLS is actually a spinal disc problem, and since I do have a bulge in a lower-back disc, this could be my problem."


"38 yo male, Low T, 290 at start, put on Androgel for 4 months, levels went lower even though I felt better and lost about 10lbs and put on a bit of muscle, went to Urologist for it going lower, he didn't like the absorption of Androgel so put me on Testim. Been on Testim for 3 days now, smell is strong and lingers all day for me, not bad but not good, 4 people made comments my first day on it, 2 good 2 bad. Still a hit to my ego, wife doesn't mind the smell, my kids said it is weird but okay, one female coworker said she liked it, lol. They all thought it was a new deodorant. Not sticky if you rub it in real good. I put it on last night before bed, no smell today after morning shower. Hope it still helps me this way though."


"Horrible mood swings since starting the pill. Emotionally numb, headaches, constant anxiety, nonexistent sex drive. I was switched to this pill by my doc because I had breakthrough bleeding on my other pill."


"I was prescribed Contrave by my doctor 3 weeks ago. I'm on week 3 and the side effects are just too much to deal with. My starting weight was 196lb and I've only lost 3 pounds. I work out 3x a week and walk daily. I changed my eating habits to stay under 1200 calories daily. Anyone who is looking to take this medication hopefully you can handle the nausea and vomiting, headaches and sweats. I wouldn't recommend Contrave it's not worth the money in my opinion."

"THIS DRUG IS ABUSED BY KIDS.  They take it to "trip" until it kills them or at best screws up their lives until we parents figure it out!!!

This is not a joke!!

Get this junk out of your house and for the sake of your own kids, tell your pharmacist that they shouldn't sell it to kids!"


"Been on Adipex-p for 28 days and have lost 20 pounds. Doctor put me on it because I am menopausal and have a hard time losing weight. First week had a hard time sleeping but now no problems, I check my blood pressure daily and no issues there. Definitely get dry mouth with it that has been my only issue, I usually chew gum and keep a drink handy. Glad I was given this drug, doubt I would have lost what I did without it."


"I have had my Implanon for about a month now and it's been a very good experience so far.  I got it inserted on about the third day of my period for that month and it stopped the next day (my periods usually last five to six days).  I recently started my period again and it's lasted for a whole week, but it's been really light and diluted and will likely be done by tomorrow.  I have had no negative side effects aside from my forehead broke out slightly for about a week, but washing my face more often helped with that.  I haven't experienced any kind of changes in appetite or sex drive.  I was losing weight before getting the Implanon and I have continued to lose weight since without any problems.
Definitely worth it!"


"I started on this medication while traveling in Latin America, where it is widely prescribed for arthritis and tendonitis. I'm an active 52 yr old female and otherwise in good health. I have moderate to severe joint pain in my hips and knees. I have been on Meloxicam for over a year now with no side effects and very good relief. I take it first thing in the morning to relieve my morning pain and stiffness. I have noticed that some people respond well to Alleve but not at all to Advil. I am of that group and so Meloxicam works well for me, better than Alleve. Many who respond well to Advil but not to Alleve seem to have adverse reactions to Meloxicam. Just mentioning this correlation because it seems to be a good indicator of effectiveness."


"It helps with my problems"


"My entire life since a young child I've been fighting post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression. I didn't even know it until I was about 22. I was in a very bad car accident and it changed my life and worsened my anxiety. My panic attacks were so bad I'd be just sobbing and screaming and crying and freaking out in waves throughout the whole day. I finally sucked up my pride and admitted something was wrong and I needed to see a Doctor. I went and he immediately put me on 20 mg dose. It was great I did calm down quite a bit and when I'd have flashbacks it came without panic attacks. It's been a year and I've hit the poop-out. I was at 40mg 4 months ago and now I'm at 5mg and take Wellbutrin XL for this last month to regain my energy. ITS WORKING."


"Horrible breakouts!

So disappointed."


"I have been using Tramadol for back pain due to spinal fusion. I found that when I am on a higher dose, I feel OK but once I am under 200 mg a day, it doesn't work for me. Unfortunately, this medicine has to be weened from so I have to go through the lower dosages to be able to try another medicine."


"I have frequent episodes of diverticulitis. My doctor prescribes a 10-day supply of Bactrim DS. Many times 10 days is not enough to completely clear up the problem so I wind up needing an additional 10 days worth of medicine.

I have not had any bad side effects from this drug. I wish someone would create a drug to prevent diverticulitis."


"Started Saxendra on Tues. July 25th. 46 years old, 5'6" starting weight 201lbs.
Starting dose 0.6. Was still hungry and craving sugars and bad snacks.
Upped dosage for second week to 1.2
Day 3 of 1.2 mg huge headache with nausea/vomiting. Had to come home from work.
On Monday I tweaked my neck backing up a trailer at the boat launch. So, I'm attributing the vertigo and nausea to that?
I went for a chiropractic adjustment today for my neck. I guess we'll see if that is the cause of my nausea.  Could be the drug, could be the tweak?
Since I've upped the dose to 1.2 I'm not hungry at all and nothing seems to be appetizing. Forcing myself to eat something.
the "off switch" in my brain  to tell me when I'm full finally works!!!!"


"The Losartan did not control my blood pressure very well, and after about 6 months I developed arrhythmia and chest tightness. Went back on Benicar and symptoms decreased dramatically within 48 hours."


"I have been using phentermine since August 28, 2009. My starting weight was 225lbs.  As of September 14, 2009 I weighed 212 lbs. I have lost 13 lbs so far through the use of phentermine along with proper dieting and exercise.  This is the best thing that has ever happened to me!"


"This will be my 2nd experience with cipro first was for a injection infection (7 day prescription vs prostatitis 6 weeks).  My infection was considered fairly serious so I think I will continue to see improvement until week 3.  Doctors generally tone down the sides handing this to you, but will admit sides "yea you'll have that" when u get them.

I warn the side effects can be terrible.  Everyone reacts a bit different.  I know anytime I take this by day 4's dose I begin to have soft stool that burns the anus and causes skin bleeding.  Excessive wiping is bad as it only irritates - try some petroleum to the area.  Also this antibiotic is really bad on healthy gut bacteria.  Recommend yogurt and probiotic.  Keep the 2 hour calcium rule in mind and drink crazy amounts of water."


"I started using Jolivette after my daughter was born; while I was breastfeeding. I've tried a lot of different types of BC over the years. This option was just OK - I really like using Seasonique better and will probably switch over at some point in the future. I'm not sure about weight gain (as I did just have a baby recently), but I have had A LOT of spotting... and it feels like it's never going to end."


"The hydrochlorothiazide helps my high blood pressure, but it seems to make losing weight harder, and it is also bad for thinning your hair. "


"Side effects I experience are blurry vision, frequent bruising on arms and legs, and occasional, moderate nose bleeds."


"I was in a car wreck about 2.5 years ago, which broke the Harrington rods I had in my back for scoliosis since the age of 15. I am now 28 and feel like I am 80! I have been on Tylenol 3s & 4s, Vicodin 10mg, Oxycodone 15mg, and then Kadian finally helped me. I have been on the Kadian 30mg twice a day for about 9 or 10 months. It gave me hope, although it does take a couple weeks to start to really kick in. No high feeling, and really takes the base pain away. Soon I will have the rod taken out and that probably wont help the C2,3,4 in my neck and the L5 and S1 discs that are smashed and pushing into my spinal cord. But I can give my 5 year old a bath, walk the dog, etc. It is about $383 per month insurance covering the cost! Saved my life!"


"Hey, yeah so....I put this in about 9pm last night before I read all y'all reviews so, kinda got spooked but, I didn't experience any burning, itching , or discomfort. The Gel did melt everywhere outside my vagina which took away any itchiness from my vulva. I recommend sleeping with no panties so you can really air out, just be cautious not to stain anything. It's about 11am & I can tell my YI is completely gone. I am gone to shower & wipe all the melted gel off my outsides & let the rest of medicine still inside me marinate throughout the day."


"I've had panic and anxiety really bad for 18 years. Some days where ok and other days where terrible . I forgot really what normal felt like. In 2012 it just got worse. Panic attacks every day.  I couldn't control it no more. I broke down and seeked help. My Dr put me on lexpro.  I was super scared at first to take it because of all the storys on the internet about it. I had a few side effects, but nothing to bad.  Best thing I ever did. Been on lexpro for over two years now and not one single panic attack. I feel like a totally normal person, it's great. My life improved 100%, and that's no lie."


"I'm sixteen, and I got this put in May 14th, 2014. For about a week and a half I had no bleeding, but since May 26th I've had constant bleeding. My friend who is on Nexplanon said she bled for two months when she first got it and then had one regular period after that. I have a little more acne than usual but I can deal with it. I haven't gained any weight, in fact I've lost weight. My long period is really putting a damper on my sex life. Also it's summer time and obviously I'm going to want to swim a lot, yet I have to worry about a period as I do so. Overall, the only side affect that's really getting to me is my period, which is mostly heavy right now. I'm hoping it will go away soon because I'm sick of it."


"Let's see. When I first started this Med was for depression and anxiety. Within a month I felt good, after two months great! I stopped taking it thinking I could manage and that made me worse after 3-6 months. I had to get back on it plus klonopin for the anxiety. Well I did it again, i started running out and couldn't afford to go to the doctor so I was talking it every other day.... I think it made it less effective. I've been so depressed, tired, anxious, dizzy etc... I was able to afford to go back the weeks ago and get my refills... So I'm three weeks in... Still feeling down and out. But I know I've got to give it the full 6-8 weeks. Just never get off!! It works well if taken right."


"Hi I really wanted to share my experience as I read so many reviews that made me scared to take this drug. I switched after citalopram stopped working for me. I am now 4 months in and on 50mg (started on 20 and increased slowly) I have had no side effects with this drug apart from a dry mouth for about 2 days. My anxiety improved within days, not an instant cure but I was coping better. I feel that I am nearly back to normal now after what a period of crippling anxiety. I still feel worried sometimes but can now rationalise thing and the intrusive thoughts are about gone (fingers crossed!) I wanted to leave a positive review the reviews I read terrified me."


"If your heart starts racing and you get out of breath at the sheer thought of public speaking, not to mention the act of public speaking itself; then this stuff is what you are looking for!!!!! People, this is the medication that we have been searching for (and as far as I'm concerned...didn't know existed).

Thank you God!"


"I have peripheral neuropathy & another chronic pain condition. This drug was the only one that has relieved both almost completely. It is very costly if your insurance will not cover. My doctor had knew nothing about it but let me try. I have taken all of the other opiates & this is the only one that worked very well for both issues. I dont understand why it is not more widely prescribed. Grayson"


"I started at 25 mg and slowly made my way up to 125mg. It's really not doing much. It has blocked my panic attacks but doesn't seem to do much for everyday anxiety. This is week 5 and I'm thinking of trying a new medication.

The side effects aren't as bad. I didn't have any appetite changes and no sexual side effects (sex drive improved). Only side effect I had was a dry mouth after >100 mg dosages - it is pretty annoying but its not that bad. Other side effect is random episodes of being tired - (again this side effect wasn't that bad).

The only really bad thing I have to say about it is that it didn't really work for my generalized anxiety disorder. It does block panic attacks though! I highly recommend for bad panic attack sufferers."


"Klonopin has been instrumental in getting my anxiety disorder under control.  I take 0.25 milligrams three times a day...taking 0.5mg at once is too much and causes me to be a space cadet.  It doesn't work as well on my rare panic attacks, but I have found other ways to cope with breathing exercises and such. Without it I was nearly non-functioning and about to slip into a deep depression.  It has leveled my mood swings and just made life much more bearable (even joyful!). I would much rather have dependency on this medicine and be happy than feel that I am constantly in crisis (and occasionally suicidal)."


"Slight loosening of bowels"


"The weight loss clinic gave me 75 mg which I break into 3 and take 1/3 a day. I don't take it until around 10:30 am and it works pretty well but starts making me jittery and anxious around 4 or 5 pm. I am extra sensitive to medication and need very little. Problem is I drink wine to get rid of the jitters and then start eating in the evening. The first time I used it I lost 19 pounds. This time I lost about 5 and lost my motivation. I only need to lose about 10 pounds at this point but am stuck. I run so get plenty of exercise."


"I am on week four and have zero side effects. The first three days I was a bit jittery, but that's it. I have tons more energy and have stopped craving carbohydrates and alcohol. I eat much smaller, healthier portions and am exercising more. I have not experienced the drastic weight loss others have, but so far it seems to be steady. I was down 4 lbs after two weeks. I'm hoping for more weight loss at my weigh in this week."


"My first pack was a nightmare. Horrible nausea, zero sex drive & I felt so bloated all the time. After my first pack, things went smoother. I've gained about 15 lbs in the 8 months I've been on it but that may not be the pill's fault. The worst part is how this pill has changed the way my secretions smell I tried everything to change this thinking it was my diet. I'm now off the pill and everything has gone right back to normal. I will probably stay off now for this reason."


"I got the shot to help with my suspected endometriosis pain thinking that things couldn't get worse but boy was I wrong! I went from having a pretty normal monthly period but with really bad pain to getting migraines which I haven't experienced since age 13 (I am now 29). At first it pretty much stopped my period untill February  (valentine's day) after that everything has been hell!  I have unknown skin rashes on all 4 of my limbs that got ridiculously worse and the bleeding has become uncontrollable! 6 months later and I feel like I'm going to die!  I am still getting migraines, I don't know when my period will ever be normal again. My Dr's only answer to me is to take the Depo Lupron. No way!  Do yourself a favor and DO NOT GET THIS SHOT"


"For me escitalopram works great. Its truly a miracle in a bottle. I am usually a complete basket case and very short tempered. My irritability is out of control. I just went through a super crazy situation and I feel so calm and at peace. I've only taken 2 doses and for me personally I can see a difference. Everyone has a different reaction but mine has been positive."


"Plaquenil has changed my life! I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis three months ago. My rheumotologist started me on this 200mg twice a day and after about a week I noticed a dramatic effect in my hands and feet.  I used to wake up in the morning with swollen hands and feet and it took about a half an hour for the swelling/pain to subside.  No longer is this true! I am 37 years old and finally have enough energy to keep up with my 4 children and busy husband.  I sleep better, feel more focused in the daytime, and do not get tired from doing small tasks anymore.  I am hoping to reduce my dosage and see if I can still get the same results."


"Just what I needed."


"This works! I'm writing this because, for two weeks after taking this I stressed about it being effective. I'm 21, in college, 5'1 and 110 pounds. I don't take birth control because I am not usually sexually active. Long story short, I had a risky one night stand, unprotected. (stupid, irresponsible) I know. I took plan b one step at around 6:30 the next evening, around 15 hours later. I was especially worried because this was right around ovulation time. I had few side effects. Day 1 was at night, gave me a slight headache and made me depressed. Day 2 I felt fine all day but had a few instances of dizziness. About a week in I had mild cramps and slightly sore breasts. Now, two weeks later, my period came, right on time."


"Miracle drug when I started it three years ago. I had been on every drug before. Recently needed a bladder lift and hoped those new symptoms would stop. Now I have bad issues with urgency and can't make it to the bathroom. The Myrbetricq is not helping at all. In fact I quit taking it a week ago and I seem better. I am getting ready to try the electrode implants in case this may be a nerve issue. I have been chasing this cure for more that 15 years."


"Just started Neurontin 2 days ago. Dose is 200mg. It has worked wonders for me."


"I am 28 and have severe RA and fibromyalgia. I was on Darvocet which worked good. But then that was taken off the market. I've been on Vicodin for a little while now and it works wonders for me.  Which is great since I'm up chasing my 5 yr old all day.  It's the only other medicine I've tried that actually works."


"For me it doesn't work, not even in one single hair of my face, darker or lighter. I'm using for one month and half and no results till now. What a waste of money"


"Just started  Contrave yesterday, Dec 15, 2016.   First day madee me so dizzy and nauseous.
Day 2 bought some motion sickness less drowsy!  Really really helped.  Rather be slightly drowsy than dizzy and throwing up.   If you can't handle the nausea or dizziness get some motion sickness.   I hope it works for weight loss too early to tell but its curbed my appetite."


"I had paraguard put in - super painful but that's a given. After 3 months I went in to have the strings checked like I was advised, no problem there. 3 months after that (so 6 months after insertion) I went in for my annual gyno check up, during the routine preventative ultrasound I found out I was 1 week pregnant. I asked if I had done anything wrong, how could it have failed?! And she just shrugged and said it was 99.4% effective and I just won the lottery. She removed the IUD and advised me on the complications and asked me to rest, think and come back in one week. I did not stop bleeding the entire week. I ended up (spontaneously) aborting - which caused me serious psychological trauma and created barriers in my catholic family and community."


"Switched from lexapro to pristiq because of DNA test but even after a month on it I felt more nervous than normal and made my OCD worse. Horrible drug- stick to lexapro, Zoloft or Prozac."


"On my second day.I have had no issues.Insertion was way less uncomfortable than I expected.No pain or discomfort so far."


"I gave it a try for 2 months, but the abdominal pain, diarrhea, and pounding headaches never went away.  I verified that you can cut the pills to try to taper up the dosage and they start you on smaller dosed pills to begin with anyway.  After 2 months I never got up to the full dose and my side effects never got better.  I did try taking the full dose and had rapid diarrhea and had a pounding headache that lasted 3 days.  It was less successful than 3 of the 4 TNF-alpha inhibitors I had tried and less effective than Xeljanz (tofacitinib) at treating my psoriatic arthritis."


"I was on Yaz for a year and a half, and then decided to switch to LoSeasonique so that I would only have 4 periods a year.  Big mistake!!  I am switching back to Yaz because of the side effects of LoSeasonique.  On Yaz, I always knew when my period would start, and it was only about 3 days.  It also helped with my awful cramps.  I had no bad side effects from Yaz at all.  I would definently reccomend it, but know that every pill has a different effect on each person."


"Doryx truly is an amazing medicine. It might take you a while once you start using it to notice the effects but once it does, it literally will take away any acne you have. "


"I took Paxil for 5 years for severe panic attacks and anxiety. I got to the point where I could barely leave the house without anxiety. I was on 20 mg once a day and it worked wonders for me. I felt "normal" for the first time in years. HOWEVER... I gained 50 lbs. I decided to get off and weaned myself very slowly but still had withdrawal symptoms: brain zaps, severe headaches, dizzy, restless, faint, weak and the list goes on. I have been off for 5 months now and still have symptoms. "


"For whatever reason I began to experience social anxiety and panic attacks,now when I think back,at least 2 years ago. But I didn't understand what was happening to me.  At first I thought I simply developed a bad attitude toward people.  My work started to be effected.  I couldn't recall work procedures, I had problems putting my words together to speak, I would get extremely nervous in social settings, scared to ask questions, fear of everyone talking about me, sometimes I just didn't want to leave out my house. I was stressed over little issues, talking in my sleep, fatigue, sluggish, slow to respond.  I can go on and on.  I had been on Welbutrin daily and Xanax as needed.  My doctor prescribed Prozac to me three days ago. It works !!!!I"


"I started Dec. 15th 2012 and this has been my life saver! I am 5'9 I was 252lbs when I weighed in. I couldn't believe it. I had never weighed that much.
I used to be an athlete growing up and after 4 kids my metabolism slowed down to nothing. Within the 1st month I lost 22 lbs! I had lost 40lbs by month 3. Total I have lost 57lbs in 6 months. I have been allowed to take it continuously, but I personally tapered it off so I wouldn't become dependent on it. I still have a months worth of pills left over and I'm still losing! I walk for exercise, but nothing major. Gum helps for dry mouth and I drink a ton of water and eat off a small salad plate.
My goal is 160lbs. I hope to reach that by August!"


"When first starting this medicine I thought it was a God send .. The first 5 days I was able to sleep a whole 8 hrs & wake up with energy and I wasn't nervous all the time. I was calm in stressful situations that I normally exploded in so I was happy but on the 6th day I experienced the WORSE panic attack I had ever experienced. I had had a couple of panic attacks before but nothing like this & it lasted hours. I prayed and cried. Called 911. Called my parents I thought my life was over! I read some of the reviews on here and seen how ppl said stick it out it works. So I informed my Doctor and decided to stick it out.  I am now nervous all the time having stomach cramps and can't sleep I'm giving it up! I hate these feelings "


"Started 50mg Sertraline 6 days ago and was told to take it at night. I sleep well but am sick mainly in the morning and have no appetite. I suspect this may go on for a couple of weeks until my body adjusts but I'd be interested to hear anyone elses experiences"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I had my first colonoscopy yesterday and used the suprep.  Following other suggestions, I mixed with 7 up and cold water, and also refrigerated the two bottles before use.  To warn others who might be like me---it did NOT work within one or two, or even four hours for me.  I drank the first bottle and two cups of water around 6:30 pm (my procedure was at 9), and absolutely nothing happened until about 4:40 am, when it was time to drink bottle #2!  It worked great (and very swiftly at that point) and my procedure was successful, but just be warned it does not always work right after consuming the first dose, especially for those of us with (ahem) slower motility."


"Within 4 hours my eyes ..lips were swelling ...headache....agitation...aches in joints which I Never have....fatigue ....."


"So glad we tried it at my husband's suggestion. My neck and shoulders have hurt for 2 weeks. Bought some today and did not have pain in about an hour. Needed to take twice."


"Severe headaches, edema of both feet, felt disoriented. All went away when I stopped taking the drug."


"I have been on 50mgs daily since Sept 2012 to date. No side effects at all. I'm in the process of my prednisone wean and hope to also get off mercaptopurine by Spring if 2014."


"Started with .6 about 6 months ago. Nausea, dizziness,  heartburn and loss of appetite. Not pleasant .

Blood sugars did not seem to improve - questioned if stress due to symptoms was counteracting each other. (Stress raises glucose).

Decided to give the drug it's best shot so after two week increased the dosing to maximum. (1.8).

Slowly symptoms subsided and post meal glucose came down. Down substantially.

Fasting still remains around 130 to 140 but that also is improved. Post meal about 140 if I eat a proper diet.

While I would have preferred a greater reduction in numbers the drug is beneficial. Side effects are now all gone.

I'm 64."


"I started taking 10mg phentermine and 15mg topiramate 3 weeks ago. After my first pregnancy I found it extremely hard to jump back on track with diets and working out. These medicines curb my appetite and make me feel energized enough to take my baby out in the jogging stroller so that mommy can get some exercise. 3 weeks down and 17 pounds lost. As of side effects, the only things I would say would be having cotton mouth and tingly sensation in hands,lips, and feet."


"acne has been a problem for me since 8th grade & I started using Differin my first day of senior year (major mistake due to it making your skin "purge" the first couple of days//weeks" by the end of October my skin was mostly clear & by the beginning of December my face was completely clear except for the occasional pimple every once in a blue moon. At the beginning it would make my skin burn especially during sports. It's sensitive to sun to defenitely use sunscreen when you're out. All around miracle medicine."


"My diagnosed NCLC 11/14.  As of her last scans no tumors or active cancer."


"Ok, I have been taking Viberzi for 3 Days. I’ve been living with the worst IBS with diarrhea you could imagine, for 30 years. I am so thankful for this drug. It’s like a miracle and I know you people suffering from IBS feel the same. Had some constipation hoping that will stop.
But to not have this for 3 Days was like a treat for me. Taking 100 mg twice a day."


"I, like many of the above folks, have had a terrible problem with night terrors, aka nightmares, horrible dreams. I really don't know if nightmares and night-terrors are the same thing, but I experienced a limbo state between sleep/wake and I am not a kid...58 actually. In the old days, when I WAS a kid, the doctor put me on the old drugs in use then, i.e. Seconal....barbiturates..this was 45 years ago. Sure, those really knocked me and I slept like the proverbial log, but the "hangover" was so bad I could not attend school. I do not know when clonazepam was introduced, but I had this problem off and on all my life and clonezepam reduced the problem significantly, not a cure but a tremendous help. "

"This worked wonderfully for me!!"


"This birth control is okay. It was my first experience with taking the pill. The first month I had really bad nausea, but then it just went away. It also caused me to get frequent migraines. I've always been a migraine sufferer but there were more days with migraines than there were without. It helped a lot with my acne, it went from breaking out everyday to maybe once or twice every two weeks or so. It helped with the length and heaviness of my period and cramps weren't nearly as bad as they had once been. Unfortunately, I started getting two periods a month so my doctor changed my prescription."


"It's the most effective for not falling pregnant. I heard people getting pregnant on everything but the Implanon. It's 99.9% effective. I had fun with it. No kids and all the fun you can have. I have one child when I was 16 and got the Implanon right after I had him. I was too young and need to make sure I have no more for a while. When I get in my late 20s I will have another child but for now no. I'm 19 and too young."


"I took two at 8pm and then the next morning....nothing at all happened,just a few stomach grumbles. I think I may have to increase the dosage today as it didn't work. I've had laxatives that work in 8 hours,really quick and really affective with 1/2 pills. However this one you need to slowly build up intake of tablets everyday  -.- which is a bother."


"Tried Strattera for ADHD, because I wanted to try a non-stimulant.  Within about a week, I was depressed and crying over the littlest things. It was NOT for me.
Also diagnosed with anxiety, Zoloft mellowed me out, but too much so, I felt apathetic and gained weight.  Tried wellbutrin and became violently sick (throwing up.)  Adderall XR I didn't like, just felt high and tweaky.  Finally found relief in a combination of Vyvanse 30-40mg and Lamictal 150mg. Truly life changing, along with gluten/dairy free low sugar diet, and good sleep."


"I have been on Topamax for three-four years, it makes me so sleepy, so then I switched to Lamictal. Lamictal makes me hungry but I feel better and have energy. I am going to take both and hopefully, it will work great together. "


"It was terrible. I took it years ago when it first came out. Yasmin 28, I think. My mood was down, I had upset stomach all the time. I couldn't handle diary or fats. I always felt anxious. I told my gyno, he shrugged it off as normal. Then the tipping point was when I was on the bus and I started feeling lightheaded and then lost my vision. A friend helped me off the bus where I had to sit and breathe in the cool fall air in order to regain my composure and slowly my vision came back. I stopped the pill immediately after that. My peroid only came back 3 months later and it took years before it was on track again. I went online and many women had same issues and had trouble starting a family after stopping the pill. Dangerous stuff."


"Within a week of taking Sprintec I noticed a lot more acne on my face than I did before taking it. I've had really bad bloating and stomach aches. My breast have been hurting and I've also been way more irritable. I'm talking to my doctor about switching brands soon."


"I used to have such severe cramps that I would occasionally vomit or be completely incapacitated for the first few days. I tried so many different things to help, and was skeptical about Aviane, but not anymore. It worked. While I still experience a little pain on the first day of my period, it's nothing compared to before Aviane. I am continually impressed."


"I had my first Mirena for 4 years after my second child. I didn't have period at all after I inserted The Mirena . I asked my doctor removed it because I want another baby . I got pregnant with my third child   three month after Mirena removed. My period went back to normal. I changed to copper IUD after I gave birth for my third baby.
But my period circle became every 20 days. I start to feel cramp and smell. My doctors suggested me switch to Mirena. I thought maybe no period is better than having cramping every days. so I switch back to Mirena. But unfortunately this time I have been slight bleeding for over 2 months .This drives me crazy.But my doctor wants to me keep it ."


"It is the most safe, effective, naturally fractionated drug
with an amazing results"


"I first took cryselle when I was 15 and I had the worst side effects. break through bleeding, headaches, anxiety attacks, weight gain,and my periods lasted 2 weeks. Got on it again when I was 18 and had Little side effects! My periods are a little heavier and hurt a bit more, and have very sore boobs other than that it's a charm. No pregnancy"


"loose of epilepsy control"


"I was originally introduced to Soma about 25 years ago when my back went out and I could not stand up straight.  It worked very well, although it did make me drowsy (which was fine with me - much better than the pain).  Currently I use it for neck muscle pain/spasms and it still works well.  I do not have any known side effects from it."


"I had the skyla put in after my period cramps had gotten just to much to handle. The birth control side of it was also a big reason as I have a long term relationship, so Skyla seems to be a great option for me. My older sister had Mirena put in just awhile before. And she said it hurt a great deal with insertion. So I was very nervous. I got it inserted and it felt like a 6 on pain; not even comparable to some of the cramps I had previously. I bled the next day with moderate cramping. Within two days the cramps were gone. The only thing bad about it is I spotted for about 2 cycles. Which isn't that bad because it's not a constent flow. It is only brownish dried blood that a pantyliner can easily handle.  No symptoms ever after that! 2 yrs!"


"I used it for two months and it worked but after that it didn't work at all, even though I doubled the dose."


"I have been taking Norco now for about 2 months for severe migraines. It works great, it helps me finally get sleep and takes the pain away. "


"I had been on Microgestin previously with absolutely no problems. I loved it, but all of a sudden it wasn't free anymore and that's when my insurance told me I would have to keep paying for it or switch to a new generic -- Blisovi. I switched thinking they were one in the same. WRONG. First off, I got very itchy. It made my skin very sensitive and I started breaking out in a rash towards the end of the first week. I also noticed it was heightening my anxiety, it made me very erratic and aggressive. It also made my vision blurry. After ruling out other things, I stopped taking it on a hunch and immediately everything went back to normal. I don't care if I have to pay, I'm going back to Microgestin. Blisovi is HORRIBLE."


"38 yo male, Low T, 290 at start, put on Androgel for 4 months, levels went lower even though I felt better and lost about 10lbs and put on a bit of muscle, went to Urologist for it going lower, he didn't like the absorption of Androgel so put me on Testim. Been on Testim for 3 days now, smell is strong and lingers all day for me, not bad but not good, 4 people made comments my first day on it, 2 good 2 bad. Still a hit to my ego, wife doesn't mind the smell, my kids said it is weird but okay, one female coworker said she liked it, lol. They all thought it was a new deodorant. Not sticky if you rub it in real good. I put it on last night before bed, no smell today after morning shower. Hope it still helps me this way though."


"For prevention, I give Depakote a 10 . I was having migraines 7 days a week. Mine began at the age of 4 (at least that's when I was old enough to put words to how it felt in my head. Dr. said I'd probably had them long before that). I have genetic and environmental migraines. Lucky me!  I was in a test group that tried Depakote to see if it worked for prevention of migraines.  I went 14 days without a headache for the first time in 10  years.  That was almost 30 years ago.  Then the weight gain started. I already had a yoyo weight problem.  My weight (at 6' tall for a female) had never gone over 190.  On Depakote it skyrocketed to 262 lbs.  Not nice!  I told my neurologist who told me it was all in my head.  Changed doctors taking Topamax now!"


"I have had major depressive disorder, anxiety and ocd since I was a kid.  On and off meds since 1987.  Paxil was the best for me for a decade or more.  Went off of it myself to try and get pregnant and had a nervous breakdown.  Was hospitalized for severe issues, etc.  Had ECT.  Scary, but it helped, looking back at the experience.  Now, I take liquid generic Zoloft (250 mgs/mls), liquid generic Abilify (3mgs/3mls) and Clonazapam.  I feel like the Abilify gives me a boost vs. just being on liquid generic Zoloft.  However, I have gained A LOT of weight over the past five or six years - like 60 pounds - used to be slender.  I give Abilify a decent rating, except for the weight gain and some sleepiness.  And I think liquid vs. pills is better."


"I suddenly started having severe pain and vomiting after eating anything thicker than water. I lost 44 pounds in 2 months. The ER doctor put me on Librax, and I can eat again! This medication saved my life! I continue to take it 3 times a day before meals."


"My husband came home from a conference with a (cold), so I was hoping not to get it.  Went out of state for Spring Break, when on the first day had fever and chills.  I knew it wasn't a "cold", so immediate went to local urgent care.  Was diagnosed with flu (no swab) and given Tamiflu and a Vitamin B12 shot.  Took first dose and threw up within 2 hours, woke up with a headache, but otherwise, didn't feel horrible.  Progressively got better, and was actually able to enjoy my trip.  I'm better than my husband, who's the one that gave it to me!  It's a lifesaver!"


"Have been on edarbi for last 4 weeks. Before that I was on Lasartin and few other medications.  My BP was always on higher side.   May be for the first time in last two years it has come down to the normal levels.   First time when they did the reading I asked them to do it again as I was not believing.   So far I have not experienced any side effects and I was happy finally some medication is working."


"43 year old with embarrassing blind pimples often turning to revolting whiteheads around chin area. First 2 weeks no clear improvement probably a little worse. Existing pimples seemed to flare up with whiteheads. I don't know if it's all the bacteria finding a way out? Its been 2 weeks & finally seeing clearer skin. No whiteheads or blind pimples just purple spots that will hopefully heal.   No side effects at this point. Taking one morning & night."


"I have major depression and borderline personality traits (Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) has helped), and chronic suicidal thoughts for over 30 years. I am on Mirtazapine 30mg, Bupropion XL 300mg for over two years. Because of my suicidal thoughts my Dr put me on lithium three weeks ago. She started with 300mg then went up to 600mg. They only bad side affect for me was a very dry mouth. After 2 weeks of being on it it started feeling wonderful! And it helped my suicidal thoughts tremendously. I felt so much better and have more energy ! Then she decided to bump me up to 900mg per day. The only side effect I feel is, I feel like there is pressure on my brain. I'm hoping this is going to go away like my dry mouth. I also am not sleeping well either."


"I had Mirena placed about 4 1/2 months ago, and have had nothing but problems since! Having it placed was fairly painful but not too bad. I had cramping for a few hours after and that was it. About a month after having it placed I started having terrible cramps, mood swings, low sex drive, very dry during sex, I've gained about 30 pounds since I got it. The only thing it improved is my period. My period usually lasts about 3 or 4 days and is very light, but that doesn't make up for the horrible cramps. I am having the Mirena taken out this week."


"Amazing! Accutane was the only thing that worked after 13 long years of acne and trying every product and diet available. I'm so grateful for this medication!"


"I have been struggling with bipolar for 17 years, and nothing has worked as well as Lithium. The side effects are uncomfortable as far as the upset stomach feeling, but eating with the medication helps."


"All my life I've been known to have these things called yeast infections. I'm 18. And I've had them ever since I was 4 .  I don't do anything sexually so it was out of the ballpark that I had anything too serious.I had went and got a spray tan 2 days ago.  That night I got it I went STRIGHT to bed.  I wake up the next morning and I have to pee. And I see white discharge.  I thought it was normal till I started itching all over my body not just my private area.  So the signs keep getting worse and the pain and the itching burn through out the day. I took the medicine and applied it and it burned like hell. However I want it away and I wanna cry.  Cause it burns and itches. I don't know how I feel honestly"


"I sufffer from ulcers & get acid indigestion all the time. Of course with that I experience nausea daily..... when it gets too intense I take a 4 mg zofran and within 20-30 minutes it subsides. I thank God this medicine was created!! In the beginning I would get constipated for about 24 hours after taking a pill but don't have that anymore. I am thankful for this medicine bc I HATE nausea/vomiting."


"Was totally down in the dumps for some reason even though my life was great. Finally I could take no more as my mind was giving me nasty thoughts to end things. Immediately went to the doctors and he prescribed me 50 mg Pristiq which sent my mind out of control. Now my whole being was in trouble and refusing to go to work and being around my family. Immediately back to the doctors to be put on 100 mg and I can say I have never looked back. Totally changed my life as I am myself again. Yeah a few sexual side effects but I can live with that I'm just glad to be back ."


"It took me a year to be diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia - and I had to go to a doctor in Vienna for this, because the doctors in Romania misdiagnosed me - but Topamax is the medicine that really saved my life. Literally! Because I was contemplating suicide, the pain was that bad and nothing else was working for me. I have lost a little weight in the first couple of months and I also have some trouble finding common words while speaking, but otherwise I did not experience any other side effects so far. My cholesterol level is now increasing - I am wondering if anyone is experiencing that as a possible side effect."


"I went from 1 or 2 migraines a year to about 9 a month.  After a year or so of this my doctor had me try Topamax.  I've been on 25 mg., once a day, for the past three weeks and I'm very happy with it.  I've only had the beginnings of 3 migraines (immediately took my Relpax) and they went immediately away.  I feel like I've got my life back.  My only side effects are a slight loss of appetite (which I'm not unhappy about) and a little tingling in my feet.  Well worth it."


"My Local Primary Care Trust summarily decreed that LHRH Treatments were to be changed from Zoladex LA to Triptorelin - this is, without even seeming to give a thought to the possible effects of the change-over.  (No relevant trials had ever been recorded for such a change)

However after my 'mandatory' injection of Triptorelin - I immediately began to suffer from as many as 20 Hot Flushes every day. I began to record these Flushes and after only 2 weeks into the 3-month cycle, I complained to both my GP AND to the PCT direct. From my careful records, I produced an Excel graph in final support of my appeal. It was literally only 1 week before my new Injection/Implant was due, that I was allowed to return to Zoladex."


"So I started this birth control as my first when I was 18. Only started to take it to regular my period for college. It regulated it, I had less cramps, less bleeding, no pimples, no weight gain. I was very happy with it. I've came go realize recently that this birth control has caused my depression, anxiety and my inablitiy to sleep well. I've been on this pill for over two years and I'm just now realizing what it is doing to my body and my mind and it is very unhealthy. Look for the side effects of depression, anxiety and lack of sleep within the first three/four months because that's when it starts and that's when you should get off of it."


"Gave me heart palpitations from the time I took it until I stopped. It did significantly relieve my symptoms but the side effects were just too much."


"I can't rate this a 10, because nothing works perfectly. But this is the best birth control that I have been on this far. I am 26 years old and I have been on 2 birth control pills previously that had not worked out nearly as well as Cryselle. I developed as I was taking the other birth control pills, many ovarian cysts which led to spotting and constant pain. I also rarely got my period, even while taking the placebo pills. My doctor switched me to this and I regularly get a period now and have little to no pain. For me, this is the best thing that has happened to me."


"I have been on escitalopram for about 2 weeks and stilling feeling the anxiety..BUT I know I have to give it time to work and not rush the good feeling it will give in  time.

I was thinking maybe I need 20mg instead of 1.5mg. May visit my doctor to confrim.

I know it works and time will tell."


"The drug has performed well to relieve the spasms in my legs."


"I have taken this medication for a month and in that time I have had the quietest mind of my life. I take Lexapro for my regular medicine and this is for easing the generalized anxiety disorder that acts up so frequently.  Never have I been able to stop myself from a panic attack like this.  It's amazing.  The first week was tiring and disorienting...after that, smooth sailing."


"I was told to take one tab per day for environmental allergies. That was too much. I developed a splitting headache after use. So I began taking just 1/2 tab and that works well. The basic side effect for me is a "cloggy" throat. My voice sounds as if I need to clear my throat in a very big way. It does keep the allergy symptoms at bay."


"I took this twice a day for 5 days. Cleared my infection but made me tired, hot, and had shortness of breath the whole time. Had nausea the first two days but that went away. Allergic to sulfa and several other drugs so this was prescribed. While it worked, I don't think I would ASK for this again."


"Dat two for me and i thought it was just me experiencing the irritation after i inserted the application into my vagina. This pain is nothing i want to go through again. I've had yeast infections in the past and the treatment was nothing like this. I hope it works cause it sure feel like its doing something downn there"


"I have had this implant a little over two years not by choice but I have had a non stop period the whole time I have had it. Uncontrollable weight gain. And horrible break outs. Plan to have it removed soon."


"This pill is the best I ever had! I can't believe the difference. I'm so happy!! No painful acne whatsoever. My blemishes are also fading away. I never thought in a million years my skin would look this good. I struggled with acne since I was 12. It got worse when I Got older. I've been on doxycycline hyclate for about 5 months. My skin looks great. I'm just worried that once I'm off these pills my acne will all come back again. I just hope it doesn't."


"I'm 16 and this is my first YI and it's mild itching and there's no more burning so it is working so far. I just hate the itching I hope it stops before the last day I'm tired of it"


"I don't know why everyone is taking their doses so late. My doctor said to take at 12 and 5. Last time I did this I was up all night and was not going to do that again. I took my first dose by using a straw and drank all at once then drank water immediately after wards.  It took effect 30 minutes later and was on toilet for 2 hours straight. I had my i-pad, phone, petroleum jelly so decided why try running to bathroom every few seconds. Took 2nd dose at 5 and everything was same as first one only this time I was a lot more raw. Did get the chills on the second dose for awhile. Its now 7:30 and hopefully things have slowed down and I can get a good nights rest and get this over at 7:45 tomorrow.  Craving a cheeseburger and fries."


"Give it time to get your method of application mastered. I bend the four corners in slightly to make them stick better so they don't peel up. Also don't put the film directly over you saliva duct on your check, try putting it below or in front of it.

With manufacturer coupon and BCBS I pay $30 for # 60 Bunavail 4.2/0.7mg films. Bunavail is a tier 3 medication, manufacturer card pays $100."


"I have a long history of narcotic drug dependency, mainly heroin use. I went into the ER with an insect bite which was infected because I had tried to drain it myself. Don't Do That! I was given IV Toradol during my 5 day stay in the hospital. My 2nd day there I had to have surgery. Post op I took only Toradol, it did great for managing my pain. I chose not to go the narcotic route due to my drug abuse history. Had it not been for this medication, I could have very well been on the road to relapse following my surgery.  I do have to mention that IV Toradol does wonders for me but when I had a prescription for the pills, they gave me awful nightmares and upset stomach along with some other unwanted side effects."


"I've used the Mon. 7 day treatment before and I had no negative side effects. It cleared my yeast infection with no pain. I am using it again now since the first time was such a success and it is burning like crazy. I'm not even sure if burning is the right word, but it is VERYYYY uncomfortable down there. I'm wondering if I will be able to do this again tomorrow."


"I take Percocet and it has done wonders for me. Before I was unable to stand for more than 10 minutes due to chronic back pain and now I do a normal work load without taking frequent breaks. It works great but does make me nauseated at times."


"I started Victoza 0.6mg on 03/04/17.  I have experienced severe nausea, and have vomited twice in the first week.  I just increased the dose to 1.2, and the nausea has only gotten worse.  I am down 5lbs in the first week.  I would like to continue for a month to see if the side effects lessen, other wise will not be able to continue."


"When I first started Sprintec, I bled for three weeks straight. My periods got ridiculously heavier (every day was a heavy day and they lasted a week). I also got sick on the first day of my period like clockwork, essentially being confined to the bathroom on that day. Additionally, I started to have anxiety attacks about three times a week and had extreme depression with suicidal thoughts. I started losing it over nothing. I pushed my fiance away because I found him repelling and called off our wedding. Within about a week of throwing away these pills I was finally back to "normal" and had to pick up the pieces left in my wake. This drug ruined my life!"


"I find it doesn't give me much relief for my pain in my foot as I have a burning pain on my heal 24/7 for at least 6 months. I am already an amputee in one leg."


"I'm a 26 yr old Female adult, sexually active and never been pregnant. I've had the Skylla for 5 days now and I think it might be the one! Of course we'll have to see how well we hold out long term but so far so good!

The install was quick and nearly painless. I was on my last day of my period so my cervix was just barely still open ( luckily!). After the pap smear feel of them cleaning off lingering blood from my period, there was only the two instances of cramp ( mild period level cramps) pain. First when they measured my cervix and again when installed. All i did was breathe and concentrate on relaxing and it was easy as pie. So far no addit. spotting and mild to no cramping. I'll update after a few months!"


"I was intially prescribed for migraine prevention (after taking nortriptyline years ago), but have since found and leaned on this medication to aid with several other conditions. It has significantly cut down my number of migraines making them manageable, helps mentally as I have fought mild anxiety and depression drug-free for years, and makes falling asleep and staying asleep much easier.

All that said, the first couple weeks of taking it were quite rough- slept like a dead person and was on another planet for a good 12 hours after taking it, had a horrendously dry mouth, and constantly fatigued but nearly all side effects subsided after a few weeks. Highly reccommend it to anyone fighting migraines, insomnia, or depression. Wonder drug."


"Using the over the counter product for just a few weeks.

Oily skin has always been a major problem.  Seems to have knocked down excess skin oil big time.

I apply early evening.

I use it with Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture with Sunscreen SPF 35.  Been in the sun and no burning or dryness noted.  Did the beach yesterday for about an hour, no problem.

I first started using every third day after reading a number of postings.  Thought I ease into it as some reported issues using daily right off the bat.   No issues. Did notice dryness of the skin before using my moisturizer.

Just went to every other day.

The skin has calmed down and a few flare ups that were just not going away are clearing.

End of the week I plan on daily use."


"Yes, it does burn when you start to take it and the spot injected might itch. I did a couple of things before taking the shot. 1. warmed it up for about 30 minutes   2. applied ice to the spot I planned to inject  3. would take a Benadryl to keep the itching down.  I've been on it several yrs now. It burns or itches...once in a blue moon. It has helped but doesn't keep the fevers and joint/muscle pain completely away, anymore. Good luck! This medicine is definitely worth a try if you have AOSD."


"I am 19, and the obgyn I go to strongly suggested getting Mirena, but after reading the horror stories people post online about it I was almost too terrified to get it. I finally decided to get it and it is the BEST form of birth control out there. I didn't even feel them insert it! I've also seen a lot about people talking about the strings stabbing them or their partner. Just ask them not to cut the strings, ask them to tuck them behind your cervix. It works great! The only side effects was the barely mild cramping for a day afterwards. I did have spotting light spotting for a month but I haven't had a period since. If you're thinking about getting it you definitely should at least try it."


"Melatonin is pretty effective at making me drowsy enough to sleep. I have taken better supplements for sleep but Melatonin overall is a great choice."


"When on original Avapro, 150 mgs. 6 years ago it worked fine. Since it went generic it just doesn't seem to be working anymore. Last month pharmacy changed manufacturer, Cambor, and now the pills give me upset stomach and shakeyness. Going to see dr. and maybe switch to something else as this is wasting my money and doing nothing!"


"I have taken Diovan for approximately 3 years with good success.  I have had no noticeable side effects and it maintains my blood pressure around 125/82."


"I was given Remicade while in the hospital. They premedicated me with Tylenol and Benadryl. After the Benadryl wore off, I broke out with severe hives from head to toe. I took Benadryl and then Zyrtec for ten days and neither helped the hives much. Thankfully, they finally went away. Horrible experience. I looked like I had a plague."


"It helps but not all the time I take 30 mg once a day."


"I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes back in October and the doctor immediately put me on Victoza, well here we are in December and she is changing me to Byetta because the Victoza quit working..
Hoping I have better long lasting results this time."


"Just started week 2 of this bc. I can't really say if my issues are from this, I had the flu a week prior to starting and also during the first week. Im 25 years old- 2 kids and first time taking any kind of birth control. I self diagnosed myself as having PCOS- and my Gyn prescribed me Necon 1/35.

SO far my symptoms which could be from being sick or the birth control--

Dizziness/ head gets foggy and vision slowed- starting 20 minutes after taking pill and lasting up to 6 hours afterwards.

Nausea, loss of appetite, food aversions, mood swings, ( also have been having some stress/life issues, along with being sick)

Breast tenderness, don't seem so bloated now, fatigue."


Amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / olmesartan

"I kept complaining to my doctor that I was feeling faint and dizzy after starting tribenzor . After a few weeks of being on tribenzor I experienced cardiac arrest. I was 54yrs old. I now have a pacemaker."


"I am 46 years old and I actually got the Merina IUD inserted about 6 months ago. My main reason for the IUD was to help with my heavy periods. A combination of pre menopause and fibroids caused me to bleed so heavy, pills were not an option because of my fibroids. My doctor was great inserting it, he let me know when I was going to feel a pinch and he let me know when I was going to feel the cramping, it wasn't bad the whole process was less than 5 minutes.  I had a watery discharge for the first 2 months, I spotted for a full 5 months and had a much lighter period for months 3-5. At month 6 I was gonna get it removed because I couldn't stand the spotting everyday but that eventually stopped in month 6. Gonna keep it..."


"Took 2 tablets 2.30pm, bowel motion and diarrhea 6 hours later with painful stomach cramps and nausea, continued on and off for a few hours. At 6.30pm the following day still experiencing stomach pains and back pains. Not a gentle drug. Will use herbal next time. Would not give to children."


"I was a lifelong insomniac. Used over-the-counter crud. Slept fitfully and felt drugged all day. I now take 15mg to 30 mg of mirtazapine and sleep soundly for a solid eight hours. Feel refreshed all next day. But, boy, it does give you the munchies almost right after taking it."


"I am 21 and got my first YI.  I figured this would work as my Dr suggested it in addition to the pill! Well, I put it in and thought huh, no big deal...
about 30 minutes late. holy itchy vagina!!! The YI wasn't this bad even. I have 6 days left and idk if I can handle it!! PAINFUL"


"Been taking this more than half my life, I've tried literally everything for ADHD and Chronic SEVERE Major Depression Disorder, you name it, I've tried all the ADHD meds and antidepressants available in Northern America, none work except for Desoxyn. Once I started Desoxyn and settled on a dose that worked for me, I haven't had to increase my dosage in ALL of my years of taking it, furthermore, I have absolutely NO side effects. An absolutely huge contrast to lesser amphetamines like dextroamphetamine etc, all of which produced nothing but negative side effects, and constantly would require dose increases to make up for their inefficacy, which just increased my side effects. So when I was young I asked my psychiatrists to RX it to me. 10/10"


"I have had some minor side effects but nothing serious.  I used to use a foot brace and cane, but once the medicine kicked in I put them both away and haven't needed them since.  This medicine is a God send, and I hope it will work for you too."


"Started smoking when I was 18 and have smoked a pack a day for 17 years. NEVER thought I would be able to stop. Well I have with Chantix. I quit on my quit day and haven't looked back. Started running to fill the down time. I am on the second week which is 2 blue pills a day but only did that for 2 days. Currently on 1 pill as I did have trouble falling asleep. That has been my only side effect. No nausea and no nightmares - but I do have VERY vivid dreams which I actually enjoy. This is a miracle drug for me. I wish it could work for everyone like it is working for me."


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


"I have been suffering from hives on my face (very embarrassing) from food allergies for the last few years. Since I gave birth to my first child it became worse. Finally an allergist suggested I take 60mg of Allegra everyday and for the last week I have been almost 100% hives free. My face is so clear and white again! I feel amazing and confident again thanks to Allegra."


"These pills made me moody, over sensitive, I've had depression problems before but this just made them get back for no reason, mostly at nights. It cost me a very dear relationship. My skin got greasy, mostly on my face and scalp, I gained a lot of weight I'm still trying to lose, made me feel nauseas and it messed up my liver.

I have nothing positive to say about it. My new OB/GYN told me to stop them asap and I did in hopes to see the change and get my self back.

Do not take this crap."


"I'm 49 & have had heavy bleeding, big clots, terrible cramping ALL my life. With the heavy blood loss i had very low heamaglobin & anemia. Twice I had to have a course of iron vaccines in my butt leaving stains for years. Had Mirena put in by gyno when I was 45. She said to give it so least a year to settle & it will be worth it. She was right. First 10 months my periods were all over the place compared to before regular 28day cycle all my life but the flow got less & less. Cramping reduced couple months after insertion of Mirena. Definitely by 1 year my periods had stopped "


"I read the reviews but was still eager to try it -- do not take this. This pills has made me extremely depressed and has caused me to have mood swings. I'm surprised my boyfriend is still with me, because since this pill I have been depressed, unmotivated, moody, and have had no sex drive! I do not recommend this pill to anyone"


"I have ulcerative colitis, and I tested positive for c diff and was put on Flagyl - 500 mg 4x/day.  The first 5 days I could function although I had no appetite and was dizzy and nauseated.  The last 6 days I was bedridden with nausea and vomiting, aversion to food, dizziness, and the skin on my legs went numb.  It's been a week now and the legs' skin is still numb, although it doesn't affect my mobility.  I don't want to eat anything still but the food doesn't come back up now.  However, all the symptoms of c diff are gone.  Seems to have calmed down the UC as well.  So yes, it worked very well so far but the side effects for me were horrendous."


"I had a swollen gland under my palate due to an ear infection & was give a 7 day Rx for this drug. I ended up stopping with 2 days to go. I have severe itching (feels like bugs crawling on me) yeast infections including in my mouth, severe diarrhea, nausea, heartburn, lethargy & no appetite. It has been 3 full days since I took this vile drug & I am still losing weight. I am now down 10 lbs and it shows no signs of slowing down."


"Overall, this medicine got me out of the hospital in one day with a large clot in my calf.  Much better than the IV drip option.  Shots in stomach aren't too bad if you go slow...let the medicine work its way in slowly.  I did experience small bruising at each shot location, and significant abdominal muscle pain.  The muscle pain was a unique side effect from all the sites I searched, but I was very careful not to inject into a muscle."


"Humira gave me my life back! I received four different diagnosis by four different Rheumatologists. Diagnosis: Fibromalagia, Connective Tissue Disease,  Rheumatoid Arthritis, lastly Lupus. I used to have severe joint pain, mostly in my legs, difficulty walking long distances, inflammation, insomnia, depression, 60lb weight gain from steroids, stomach bloating, joint stiffness throughout the night, I would toss and turn throughout the night due to the stiff achey joint pain. My legs were the most achey, I would cry at night because the pain was so unbearable. I hated when it was time for bed, because I knew pain would accompany sleep with stiffness. I felt like I was 90 years old. I was a"Hot Mess!" Thank GOD for Humira!!"


"Very powerful drug. Beware! It feels a lot like meth or other stimulants. I don't think I have it in me to keep taking it. And am worried about getting hooked on it. I have a constant mild headache and my jaw muscles are sore from grinding my teeth. And a general feeling of unrest. But at the same time feel good and have energy and a sharp mind. Five days in and still smoke. Dreading that pill this morning. Ish."


"This is a very good medication IMO.  When you titrate up to the dose intended, you will notice subtle differences.  Many times I have thought that this had flattened me out but when I backed off the dose, symptoms came roaring back.  No noticeable side effects for me.  Helps stability very well, maybe the cause of some anxiety not much tho."


"I hate this pill its the second birth control I have been on and I cant wait to switch. I have been on Ocella for 6 months and all 6 months have been terrible I've been gaining weight which makes me extremely depressed and I've had really bad mood swings. I am usually a calm, easy going person but ever since I have been on this pill every little thing irritates me or makes me mad. My doctor also assured me this pill would make my period shorter and lighter.....no....not at all. However I have not gotten pregnant so it works in that regard."


"I was on Yaz and it was the BEST! I had no acne, very light and short periods, no weight gain, and no mood swings. The only bad thing with Yaz was my hair began to thin and it was very dry. I never had sex on Yaz so I don't know how effective it was at that. On Apri, I now have mild acne especially on my period and I have horrible periods at that. Very heavy with lots of cramping. My appetite increased so much to the point I have gained 8 pounds. After a year of dealing with Apri I switched to Beyaz since it has folate, which is good for hair and a baby if I ever do get pregnant! "


"I had ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia) then started suffering from having no drive, depression etc. My Dr. said to try Androgel 1.62% which he prescribed, gradually I started feeling better, now, 10 months after starting Androgel I no longer suffer the psychological problems which is a big, big help. This stuff cost so so much - for 2 bottles of 1.62% pump, it is 985$. The price is ridiculous!!"


"I'm doing good on it. No relapse in years and hope it stays like that!"


"I was prescribed Metformin 500 mg 2x/day for insulin resistance 5 weeks ago. I am down 15 pounds in a month (but still 85 to go) and have more energy to be more active in my daily life and energy to actually exercise (before I was always in pain and fatigued). I also am on a very strict diet of absolutely no carbs and low in fat/calories, so I can't be certain the success is due to Metformin. Also, this is the first time I have been prescribed meds for Type II diabetes so I cannot comment on how Metformin would be compared to, say, Invokana. However, I am pleased with it. This is not a magic pill for weight loss; I have also had to change my eating habits and level of activi"


"After several bouts of urinary tract infections while awaiting prolapse surgery - bladder unable to void efficiently - I experienced extremely severe mouth ulcers on each occasion, lasting three weeks. I was told this was probably because I was "run down". However, most recently, half an hour  after taking the first dose of Trimethoprim I experienced intense burning of my lower lip, accompanied by extreme swelling. Recognising this as the start of the severe mouth ulceration I had experienced previously on numerous occasions, I informed my doctor, who immediately prescribed antihistamine and told me to stop taking the Trimethoprim, substituting another antibiotic.
"


"I'm 38 years old with no children. Just had Skyla inserted 3/24/17. I've been taking the pill for about 20 years and just grew tired of it so I opted for the IUD. I have a pretty decent pain tolerance but took 2 Advil (and half a Xanax for nerves - ) beforehand as suggested. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst pain) I would say this was about a 6 but it was not unbearable and only lasted about 30 seconds. I was able to drive myself home afterwards. So far I've had light spotting and some mild cramps, both of which were expected.  So far, so good but time will tell as far as mood swings, weight gain etc. Its worth not having to remember to take a pill every day. Everyone'e experience is different, don't let the horror stories deter you!"


"I have been suffering from extremely bad allergies for years.  Between my allergies and my asthma, I have had to use OTC nasal sprays, a combination of allergy medications and my asthma inhaler. I just started using Dymista and for the first time in years, I was able to breathe clearly.    I did not even need to use nasal spray! I am so glad I finally found Dymista!"


"My BP is sometimes still a bit high. I have some eye strain, but the worst thing is the strange, vivid dreams that occur nightly. I used to take a different beta blocker, but the insurance company won't cover it."


"For me oxycodone works great. It's not the best drug out there but it helps. I have chronic back pain for over 15 months and finally doctors are letting me try this. For me it helps, it gets me moving, it gets me walking and I can finally sleep. It works really fast . Most of the time within 17_30 mins. Keeps my pain away for over 3 hours which is not bad. I have arthritis in my back plus my spine is narrow. Not much else to say. Oxy helps me 90 percent of the time. I have nothing bad to say about it."


"I was diagnosed with narcolepsy a little over a year ago. As I was just about to start my senior year of college, I knew I needed to start a medication in order to get through classes and homework so I started on Nuvigil 150mg. I immediately noticed a huge difference in my quality of life. I had forgotten what it was like to be focused and alert throughout the day and would suddenly realize it was 9pm and I was totally exhausted. However, side effects started to take over the benefits for me and I started to experience problems with jitters, a sort of lingering morning sickness feeling, and anxiety. I stopped taking it due to these side effects, but sometimes now I feel the exhaustion is worse than dealing with the side effects."


"I was prescribed Macrobid the same day my UTI symptoms began, by my visit to the clinic it was already very painful. By the second day my uti was slightly better, the dizziness and nausea was intense but it didn't impede my ability to function. This continued until the fourth or fifth day when the headaches began, first they were manageable, but after dose 10 I wasn't able to function without getting sick (By then the UTI symptoms were almost completely gone). The side effects lasted until all the medication was taken and for a couple days after. That being said I've always been very sensitive to side effects from medications and everyone's body will react differently. Take with food and lots of water and the whole ordeal will be over soon."


"I have been taking gilenya for the past six years. It has been the only medicine I have been on for Ms. I thought it was a great option for the first few years with very few side affects and only one relapse per year.  Then my hair started thining and the headaches and fatigue got really bad.   Now it no longer seems to be working. Last  mri showed several new lesions  and my Dr said the drug is doing little to nothing for me. He wants me to switch to Tysabri but hearing the risks for that terrifies me."


"I had a very severe electrical accident and got locked up to 480 for minutes from what I told. I don't remember much about it. about three years ago. I have had skin grafting to several parts of my body, surgery on both hips, it fried my nerves completely and have migraine or headaches everyday. I have tried all the the pain meds...I mean all. Eventually I was sent to a pain management clinic where my Dr wanted to immediately put me on methadone. It shocked me that he automatically went to methadone and I only thought that it was for the heroine withdrawal and I was against it 100%. We tried several meds before having to revisit going on methadone. Come to find out it total saved my life!! If your in chronic pain try it YOU WILL BE SURPRISED"


"I have been on Victoza since Jan 9th. I am impressed with how well things are going. I was diagnosed as insulin resistant and am overweight and would like to lose 70 lbs. I have lost 20 lbs so far. I modified my diet and faithfully use a fit bit daily to log my activity, diet and glucose levels. I am staying on a 0.6 dose and am happy to say my glucose levels are ranging between 85 and 105. I had one day of nausea."


"I am on 5mg and sensitive to these types of meds. The first week was bad with horrible nausea (even vomiting) and I was more irritable, but now on day 9, the nausea is gone and I haven't felt as moody, I am more relaxed. I should wait another week just to see how things might change. Otherwise, worth a try."


"Was absolutely awful for me. After 1 pill at the lowest starting dose I experienced horrible anxiety, insomnia and panic attacks in the morning so bad I was worried I'd have to go to ER for my heart. Prescriber told me to halve the dosage and this only somewhat lessened the effects. I could not tolerate this med at all."


"I was prescribed this for anxiety and to help me sleep at night. Within an hour of taking the medicine I had horrible restless legs syndrome and after the first few days bad insomnia too, in addition to upper respiratory congestion. I am seeing my doctor later this week to see about changing medication."


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"Florinef has helped me out quite a bit.  I'm not cured, but am better.  I can walk up minor inclines without any problem.  I am able to be up and active for longer periods of time."


"Hi! So I'm 26 with 3 kids I had my last baby 3 months ago and I decided to get something that I wouldn't have to worry for a long time. It wasn't painful at all the only time I felt a hard pinch was when the doctor said he would measure my uterus I felt when he inserted the IUD but it was not painful at all.. when I went home I felt cramping throughout the day but ibuprofen did the work I haven't had any bleeding at all ...I will update in a few weeks!"


"I had a severe yeast infection. My labia were inflamed and over enlarged with a hard texture. My vulva was extremely itchy and my doctor prescribed oral fluconazole 150, 2 tablets. The first dose was enough to completely calm down the whole infection. I noticed some changes with in 4 hours of taking it. The next day there was a white debris in my vulva which was evidence of the yeast being killed off. I still had another dose left over and noticed great changes with just one dose."


"I'm a 30 year old male and switched from Dexedrine to Strattera about two years ago. For the first two months I thought it was a terrible decision because of the horrible side effects and talked to my doctor a couple of times about switching back to a stimulant. He told me that even though it says it can take up to a month to start working, in his experience, it took most patients 2-3 months to see the benefits. I'm glad I stuck with it. After four months all side effects we're completely gone and it works better than any stimulant type I've been prescribed. The problem is you do have to get through a horrible period of 1-3 months (10 weeks for me) before the nausea, fatigue, ED and insane sweating are gone. This drug takes time to work!!!"


"So far so good. Switched from Atenolol and I love this new drug. It keeps my blood pressure low, appetite way down and no more needed naps. Life is good again."


"My 14 yr old son began taking this three months ago to address irritability and OCD related to Tourette's. He also has ADD. At first I thought it was a God send.

Benefits: Helped his OCD and irritability and anxiety.

Issues: Increased his impulsivity - big time, bruising on legs, stomach pains, diarrhea, constipation.

Taking him off this medicine mainly due to the behavior issues and other side effects."


"I've had mine in for about a year now and I bleed after sex everytime and my period lasts for about 10 days and is extremely heavy to the point where I have to wear a super tampon and a night time pad and I have to Change them both every two hours! I get such bad (contraction type) pain throughout the month, I also had funny smells and bloating! I feel like I'm not in control of my body as my periods and other things prior to the IUD were very normal!
I've just arranged to have it removed and I can't wait!
I wouldn't recommend this as if it goes wrong like it has with me it's another procedure to get it out!"


"Does not help with pain, just with swelling."


"I started yesterday and today I see it darker. Should I stop? I have a wedding in 10 days... will my melasma be better by then or still this dark? Thank you"
