"My son has been taking the medication for a week on Tuesday and all I have to say is that he is doing a lot better. His teacher noticed a difference on the first day, so did my son. He stated to me that he can actually focus on lessons and listen to the lesson with no problem.  The only thing that I can say is that my son said that he doesn't want to eat as much but he eats anyway because he knows he needs to and at night he wakes up once.  The doctor did tell us that, that may happen in the beginning but that it will ware off."


"This is my first week on Azor and not only is my blood pressure in the 117/80 range, I slept peacefully through the night and experienced wonderfully pleasant dreams for the first time in nearly five years!  So Azor is obviously having a positive effect on my sleep apnea as well.  Was a bit dizzy the first morning of the first pill but have been fine since. I'm grateful for the changes."


"Second day after first injection, woke up with the worst case of sour stomach I have ever experienced. Burps were out of control frequent and absolutely disgusting smelling and tasting. Made it to work only to vomit twice in 3 hours... almost messed myself in the process... diarrhea was also in full water effect. Thankfully I was able to leave early (within 1 hour of second episode). I hope these symptoms decrease dramatically and rapidly. Anyone else experience side effects this severe? I am literally unable to leave my bathroom's side. Can not even attempt to work or leave the house without fear of needing a new outfit. I took 1, 1.5 injection."


"I was on Soma for over 10 years and it has always been my favorite muscle relaxer.  I have had severe debilitating migraines my entire life, and a roll over only made it worse along with my neck and back, which have been progressively getting worse over the years.  I was taken off about a year ago.  However I am posting this for those who can't get it anymore to say Lorzone (chloroxozone) works extremely well on pain.  It is the ONLY other medication - and I have tried them ALL over the years, that seems to work for my neck, back and shoulder pain.  Name brand is extremely expensive even with insurance - it may need to be prescribed under the generic name."


"I have been on Saxenda since 5/5/17. 20lbs gone, losing very slowly. I work out hard 5-6 days a week. I slowly increased my dosage because it made me so nauseous. I started dosing at night which helped. If I eat a large or fatty evening meal, I would get sick in the morning. Overall I only threw up about 4 or 5 times. Finally at the 3.0 dosage after 3 months. Now I have no side effects at all. I read that other's side effects disappeared at 3.0. Wish I didn't increase so slowly. I had muscle pain in my right side which took a couple of weeks to go away. I have muscle pain in my right neck, it's getting better but occasionally hurts. My Dr. told me that muscle pains are a side effect. Will see how it continues to help."


"I have had bad spots for a couple of years now, seemed to get worse the older I get but isn't quite acne. Went to the doctor was prescribed Epiduo. Have been using for 4 days now and I'd say my spots have reduced by around 50% already! I have really dry sensitive skin already so was a little worried about the reviews stating burning/redness. There is a slight tingly feeling but nothing unbearable and only had redness for the for the first 2 days. I've used loads of face washes and creams over the counter but nothing had ever worked so quickly and effective on my skin. So impressed with this and would definitely recommend for anyone feeling insecure about their skin like I was."


"Couldn't sleep at night because of back pain, doctor gave me these along with regular pain medicines. Besides being a little over weight, I'm as healthy as a horse. These gave me the best nights sleep of my life. I couldn't lift my arms and just felt as relaxed as I have ever been in my life! Didn't feel groggy in the morning, totally awesome! I don't take them EVERY night as prescribed, but after living with this pain for so long, I know when there is going to be a bad night (say, after mowing the lawn). I take one before bedtime and VIOLA! I have a great nights sleep and still feel awesome in the morning! It's a miracle drug!"


"I used to be on Tri-sprintec, my doctor recently switched me to to Tri-nessa and instantly I was in love with it. I didn't have my period at all, minor cramps and my acne is disappearing so quickly. I haven't had any mood swings either. Thank you."


"I've been in remission for 5 years."


"This has been a terrible experience for me. I've been on Apri for about a year and at first had no major complaints. My periods were still 2 weeks long but they had always been. Over the past 6 months my periods have been miserable. Emotionally I'm a wreck, I cry all the time about everything. I feel like a crazy person but at the same time have no control over the crying. I'm constantly moody and irritable. I sweat like crazy when I have my period and often feel like I'm going to pass out. My periods still last 2 weeks one light week followed by a heavy week. I never had clear skin but this pill has only made it worse. I would not recommend and will be changing within the week so I do not have to experience another month like this."


"It helps me with several things my insomnia my anxiety and depression the only side affect I get is increased appetite"


"I have been on the pill for 3 weeks and I've been expierencing hair loss, acne, sore breasts, fatigue, mood swings, and it lowered my milk supply. I also had a little spotting. I have decided to stop taking the pills."


"I have had my mirena since Tuesday (4 days).  I have never had kids.  I was not on my cycle.  I have horrible periods so my doctor recommended this. In my mind I was thinking this is going to be horrible as I had other exams that had me in horrendous pain.  Insertion took about 2 minutes. Only pain I felt was when he was measuring the uterus.  Felt like cramps.  I  did not even feel it going in.  The Dr said ok that's it. I had no idea it was over.  Afterwards I went to lunch.  Little cramps after I got home,  through the night and the next day.  Just took tylenol.  Only spotted the day that I got it.  So far so good."


"I have been on Neurontin now for 10 days. My pain management doctor put me on it for pain as well as for my migraines. The dosage he has me on is 1 tablet 3xs daily. The tablet is 300mg. I have experienced mood changes. I seem more agitated than I normally am. Hopefully I get better at that. I always feel drowsy after taking it. I haven't had a migraine yet but we shall see if I do anyways. It will be hard to tell since every 6 months I go and do radio frequency on the back of my neck. That is where they burn my never endings to help my migraines. So I hope all my pain goes away and I do not experience any freakish side effects. I wish everyone the best in taking this medicine and I hope all of us will stay pain free. "


"Starting weight 280.  In Sept. of 2016 I started taking adapex (phentermine) and took that for 3 months.   I lost about 20 pounds in those 3 months.  I had severe dry mouth, heart palpitations, insomnia and constipation.   When I switched over to Contrave I only experienced a slight bit of dry mouth and sleeplessness with a slight elevation of my blood pressure.  I took Contrave for 9 months and lost another 50 pounds by eating right and exercising.  After stopping Contrave I have regained 12 pounds in 6 months.  Mainly due to not exercising and significant increase in appetite.  I will retake the medication and will update my progress as I work toward my goal of 190.  This is a good medication."


"My basal cell had recurred after surgical removal. Another removal would have resulted in extensive plastic surgery. The Aldara had no visible effect until the second week. By the fifth week, the area looked horrible and I became concerned. Nevertheless, I continued application and by week eight, I was looking in the mirror at new, fresh, pink skin. Wonderful!
Based upon my experience, I think it is generally correct to believe that if there is one basal cell area, the entire face is damaged, even though it is not visible. Therefore, I would recommend using the cream only on the limited, visible lesion.  Otherwise, the area of lesions will be large and scary."


"I have started taking this January 2014 and it started working within 2 weeks.  I have had a few flare-ups, but more as time has gone on.  I take methotrexate with this.  I have my cholesterol tested every 6 months.  I have never had any cholesterol issues.  After taking this for 2 years, My cholesterol is in the high range due to this medicine.  Which puts me into a whole different category of heart disease/attack.  I will be going off.  It was a good run, but isn't worth it!"


"I was 45 when I had the mirena coil inserted. I'd never had children so it was painful but bearable. Everyone is different so just make sure you talk any concerns through with your GP. I had a very light period for first three months and occasional cramping but no worse than before I had the mirena inserted, after that I've had 4 and a half years period/cramp free. No side effects whatsoever. My 5 years are up so I'm due to have it removed. Have been told I'll experience the same level of discomfort in the removal so at least I know what to expect and it literally does only take a few minutes."


"patience, patience, patience!!! this medication will work, you just need to give it time. I am in my 5th month and my results are great. At first, it will burn your face like crazy. After your skin will clear up. Then it will break out again. BUT PLEASE DON'T TAN YOUR FACE WHILE USING THIS. I HAD TERRIBLE BLISTERS ON MY FACE. take the directions and precautions seriously! because I got so sunburned, i had to stop using the epiduo but my face didn't break out too bad. MAKE SURE YOU WON'T RUN OUT AT A TIME WHERE YOUR SKIN IS CLEARING UP. the results were just getting the best they had ever been and then i ran out. then my face broke out like crazy... so make sure you always have enough! lastly, GIVE THIS MEDICATION TIME! it will get better!"


"Woke up at 10pm and had a slight pain in my lower lip to the point that I didn't think I was getting a herpes lip.  By 1pm I could feel the tiniest bump ever but still didn't think I was getting a herp lip. By 2:30pm I ran home and took 1000mg Valacyclovir (which was only half the dose but I did this by mistake).  By 7:30 I got home and definitely had a red and swollen lip and another outbreak right next to it both had little white pimples.  Took the regular dose of 2000mg at 7:30.  Didn't wait 12 hours and took another 2000mg at 4am.  Woke up at 11:30 the 2nd day and there was no pain or swelling but little white dots were still there.  Took another 2000mg at 2pm and the lip is 100% fine, no white dots, lip is 100% fine."


"I just got done taking this medicine along with 2 melatonin. I usually need 4 melatonin to get to sleep.
So if I need 2 more after an hour or so I will take them. Right now I am awake enough to work I am really relaxed. I am also on kolonopin 1mg or 1 and a half mg at the most it always helps me sleep. I might need that tonight to sleep. Hopefully this is enough. Anyways will write more tomorrow if this drug is any good. It feels like I am breathing a lot deeper or something but that could be normal. I am going to have my husband check on me. Anyways I'm falling asleep so I'll write more tomorrow.
"


"I have been on Yaz for years but changed over to Taytulla 2 months ago after moving to the USA and needing a bit more progesterone than the Yaz offered. I definitely found myself eating a bit more in the first few weeks and I put on a couple of pounds but I've got that back under control now 8 weeks later. I also find that the week of ovulation I am a bit more short tempered with my kids, nothing too serious. Yes the first 6 weeks my mood was somewhat different but that can be expected as you are changing the hormone levels in your body. Give it 2 months and if you are still unhappy then stop. I'm about to order my first prescription after using the 2 free sample packs."


"This medication has been a life saver.  It has changed my life around. I can't believe how happy I am!"


"I suffer from sinus/ear infections at least 2-3 times a year.  My doctor first prescribed Augmentin but this only made my symptoms worse.  After feeling miserable for 2 weeks my doctor then prescribed Avelox.  Besides the jitteryness, rapid heartrate, and anxiousness, it worked wonders.  This medicine cures symptoms quickly, but does have side effects.  Everyone is different so be aware of your body and let your doctor know if you're uncomfortable."


"I am 20 years old and have been on Vyvanse 50mg for about 4 months now. I find this medication has helped me a lot. I've tried others but nothing can compare to this. I never finished high school but since I started taking Vyvanse I have switched my life around. I started school and am making high marks. This medication has changed my life for the better."


"It works for me.  After about 10mg of the Phenergan, I was no longer feeling dizzy and I wasn't sick at all."


"I was put on Depakote ER and Celexa for depression and anxiety.  My mood and depression were helped and it knocked out my migraine headaches completely.  I experienced so many horrible side effects though. I gained 50 pounds in the six months I was on this, I lost my hair, I developed tremors that have not completely subsided, I had horrible stomach problems, heartburn, it made me extremely lethargic, libido was gone. This was just my experience with Depakote and if it weren't for all of the side effects I would have stayed on this medication.  Hope this helps."


"I loved Lexapro, I had been on it for approximately 5 years.  It worked wonders, made me feel close to "normal".  Recently in the past 6 months I had gone through some life altering events and had noticed my depression was coming back more and more. I finally broke down and told my Doctor (I thought the problem would correct itself) So, he changed me to Pristq. I had a slight yawn while on Lexapro and some sexual side effects but they were less than any other medication I had ever taken.  So when Lexapro works it works GREAT!  When it's run it's course, time to move on."


"After I became hopelessly addicted to morphine and hydromorph I found myself living in squalor, dropped out of university, and was on my way to eviction and homelessness. I had tried tapering down myself, going cold turkey at home and even a few detox facilities. Nothing would stick. And most of the time I couldn't make it past 48 hours until I'd crawl back to the pills again. I'm in my early twenties and didn't see myself living to 30, let alone getting back in school. Another addict suggested methadone and after a year on that I was switched to Suboxone. I feel like myself now. I'm back in university finishing my degree and forever grateful to Suboxone for saving me."


"Excellent. It helps my anxiety tremendously and takes care of my panic attacks promptly. I highly recommend it. If you take it as prescribed you will not get addicted. I have been taking it for ten years. It also helps with my high blood pressure and tachycardia."


"Got the Nexplanon 10/6/16 . I got on it to prevent pregnancy and so far I haven't got pregnant. When I first got on it I didn't bleed for one week. Now most days just a really heavy flow other days golf ball size clots. Recently just started to be both clots and a very heavy flow. Mood swings are bad some times I get really bad cramps where I can't feel from my uterus down & headache are unbearable
I been just sucking it up until I have to get the Nexplanon taken out (10/6/2019)"


"Obviously by the name I am a Mom. After I got off of Portia I immediately got pregnant a week later. Wasn't our intentions at all. When I got back on it after having my kid, everything had changed. I get MASSIVE headaches, nausea, dizziness, and it makes my body really tender and sore down there, so sex hurts quite a bit sometimes. With all that being said, I have never had an issue or a pregnancy scare while being ON the Portia pill and it definitely works when it comes to preventing pregnancy. I have been on it for 6 years now and even though the side effects suck, it's the only one that is truly accurate on it pregnancy prevention. I buy this version of it for $9. It's very cheap."


"10 days on Lunesta (generic).  Not sure why doc suggested I try it, as I'd been on same low dose of ambien for 3 years, good results.  Anyway, had the metallic taste, just annoying but I slept so ok.  After a day or so waking up more, sleeping less. Took an extra 1/2 last night -total 4.5 mg.  slept, but today all day major headaches and nausea. Not sure what to do tonight-wishing for backup benedryl.  Calling doc tomorrow-will request back to ambien."


"I have been taking junel 1.5 for about a year and a half. I didn't gain weight, have mood swings, breakthrough bleeding, low sex drive, but I did notice around my period time I would have 1 or 2 cyst like pimples pop up that took roughly 2 weeks to heal and sometimes left a scar which I'm not prone to acne and have a good skin regime. So I am switching to sronyx (generic of aviane) due to that. Otherwise this was good birth control for me. Didn't get pregnant  and had regular periods usually 4 days long and light."


"I've only had Implanon for 6 months. They say anything can happen so they can't tell you much about your period. But, in my experience I've had no period so far and no cramps or PMS symptoms.

I don't believe the Implanon made me gain weight. I was gradually gaining my Freshman 25 in college from September-May and I got the Implanon in January. It didn't make me gain weight abnormally. I just continued my weight gain from eating such unhealthy food at school. Since then, I've lost 17 pounds and I don't believe the Implanon has slowed down any of the weight loss.

Unfortunately, reviews are not going to help you because Implanon is strictly person to person, when it comes to side effects. In my case, I love Implanon!"


"I had forgotten how it felt like to be normal and healthy. To have energy. I was experiencing this after three months on Humira only to be abruptly dropped from my insurance plan. So thankful for the Abbvie patient assistance plan which has now approved me for a full year! I am looking forward to getting better again in the months ahead. I was afraid I was going to lose my job because of the flares but now I am hopeful. Thanks"


"Nightmare from the beginning.   Day 1 extreme nausea, dizziness and headaches.  Day 2 was worse,  and had bloody urine.  Stopped taking it."


"I was given 300mg to take 3x a day for 7 days for an abscess. Dentist & pharmacist warned of nasty side effects. Enclosed papers with instructions and warnings were scary and only recommend taking with food, water and avoid laying for 10 minutes after taking. I looked online to see if taking probiotics would help prevent colitis. Found these rating and was even further scared.

I noticed everyone who gave positive reviews mentioned probiotics, yogurts, and staying upright for at least 30 minutes. So that is what I did. No side effects what so ever. No heartburn, diarrhea (I actually became constipated), or belly pain. I took a Probiotic with 10 billion strains 1x a day and ate a 0% Activia yogurt at every dose. Pain gone by day 3."


"I've been on Synthroid (Levothyroxine) for about a year and a half now. They've changed my dose 4 times so far and I'm currently at 100 mcg.  Once they keep me on a dose for a bit, I feel okay, but with every change I have a few annoying side effects.  I can say that if you take it every day like you're supposed to, it will work eventually. You have to be patient, it won't make you feel great right away. It took me about 3 months.  But it helped with my lethargy, weight and even depression.  It's pretty good if you take as prescribed. If you stop taking it suddenly, the effects of hypothyroidism come back pretty quickly and severely so I recommend taking it as your doctor states."


"This medication is a lifesaver, for me. It works very well, with no side effects at all, for me. It was very expensive $1800.99 before insurance and the assistance card from the drug maker.  If you have OIC like I do, try Relistor."


"I put some Orajel on my lip, as soon as I felt the cold sore coming on. It instantly numbed it and I can go on with my day without thinking about it."


"I was on Ocella in the past for years until they took it off the market. I tried several different birth control pills and none worked for me. Someone recommended I try Apri it has worked great for me cleared my horrible acne up which I was spending a lot of money on trying to correct, doesn't change my mood or sex drive, weight stayed the same, no headaches, no depression, light predictable periods lasts three days! Let's just say I love Apri and it's cheap."


"I haven't been on this pill for very long, but my doctor gave me some free samples because I was having breakthrough bleeding with LoEstrin. So far, my main complaint is nausea. I have never felt so consistently sick in my life - not even with the flu! I'll post again when I've been on it longer about weight gain, mood swings, cramps, etc."


"I started Lo Loestrin Fe 2 years ago at 21 years old, first time ever taking birth control. It has been an incredibly positive experience. No weight gain, no mood swings, little to no side effects. I had random light cramping and spotting initially, which is expected. Nothing since. My periods are not bad either."


"I take zoloft and the mix was a nightmare!!! it made me more agitated than I normally am ever! beware!"


"I once had a horrible experience in my life losing a friend but then I got over it but met another friend  BUT my mind was making me think I would lose my new friend, like my old friend who stopped being my friend without telling me. Anyways I found out I had OCD & I started luvox. It did take a few extra weeks then expected but over the last month I've began to really not worry & have the compulsive consistent non stop worries! I've definitely came a long way. Especially that my friend assured me if he would stop being my friend he would let me know"


"I have been on Saxenda for two and a half weeks. I lost 4 lbs the first week, 3 more the next week and now I'm down a total of 13 lbs! I really didn't think it would work for me. The first two weeks were really hard and I felt sick. I'm doing a lot better. My portion sizes are a lot smaller. I don't work out, which I know I need to and the weight will come off even faster. My goal is to loose a total of 50 lbs, but I will still be obese at that.

Another thing, I am bulimic. I have not forced myself to throw up since I have been on this medication."


"I weighed 245 about 2 years ago. Had tried phen-fen, and just about every type of diet imaginable!  I was 64 when I started. Im now at 165 (5'10) and, while I could lose another 15, im not because my skin is so droopy due to years of losing/gaining hundreds of pounds (note to young women--you dont want this too happen to you) and im too old to have skin surgery. Losing weight was so easy with Belviq--feel full, no cravings and just eat less."


"I had severe constipation today and my stool was stuck I couldn't even sit down I had to pull what I could get out on my own in order to walk to get some milk of magnesia it helped me preety quickly I was so severely constipated I thought I was going to pass out as I was straining so badly I strongly recommend milk of magnesia it saved me a trip to the emergency room I will let other's no it's a terrific product for constipation thank you milk of magnesia you gave me the relief I needed after 6 hrs of extremely constipation I was in so much pain and you helped me get through it thank you so much I am so grateful for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"I regret, in hindsight, trying this method of birth control. I had been on the microgestin pill for about 5 years prior to trying this - microgestin had worked really well and helped clear my body and face acne significantly.
I had the nexplanon in a total of 8 months (at age 21) - the first 2-3 months were fine probably because my body was still adapting to the change in hormones. After about 3 months it all went downhill. After that 3 month mark hit I began having nonstop bleeding, I became moody and depressed most of the time, my anxiety got worse, and my acne began coming back as it had when I was a teenager before the pill.
Since taking it out, my acne is clearing and my mood is better. I am so happy to be done with it."


"I had gotten this as "samples" from an obgyn I saw for the first time.  From the day I started taking it; it was "not bad" but with in a week my period came back in a horrible way with the worst cramps ever.  I even began having bad side effects on the left side of my abdomen, and still have them to this very day.  I notifed both the obgyn and my doctor about it - and they told me to stop taking the pill.  Have not been on that pill since January and saw a new obgyn and gave me a new pill than this one.  (No side effects yet).

Never again taking this pill - glad this was not a prescription to me."


"ALLI works great for me. At first I lost 30 pounds in less than a year, stopped it for a while, gained some back but went back on it and lost another 12lbs. I have been off it for 4 months because of the latest recall and am trying to be good. I loved ALLI because bowel movements were regular and I didn't have to take it unless I ate more fatty stuff than I should. When will it be back? I hope it does come back and soon!"


"Pepto-Bismol did not CURE my problem; but it slowed diarrhea until I was able to get to the doctor.  A must have in all medicine cabinets!"


"I wrote a review about this birth control pill 1 month in taking the pill. Things were great besides the 1 breakout that I can't necessarily put on  the pill.

But now 4 months in I'm having to go to my gynecologist back again because things worsened considerably. I break out like a teenager (I never had a pimple in my life and I have no idea what to do about it), I actually have cysts and they're sore to touch!!! I mean, it's ridiculous! I starting having dryness during sex (no so much now but I had to adjust my methods subsequently ;)  ), irregular periods, random spotting, can't plan anything cuz I don't know when my period will come...and my breasts are very tender to touch. I honestly hate it. It doesn't do anything for me :("


"I find it causes my hands to go tingly and my heart races sometimes. I have also had tingling in my head to."


"I was on the NuvaRing for almost 2 years before discontinuing due to side effects. At first, it was very convenient and I did not gain any weight. Over time though, I started to experience worse and worse heart palpitations, dizziness, anxiety and paranoia. I noticed these symptoms would intensify the day I took my NuvaRing out. I have been off it for about a year and I feel much better."


"I'm on Nexplanon for about a week or so and already breaking out bad also have lower stomach pain which is one of the signs to call a doctor to remove it going tomorrow also coughed out a little blood never again the side effects scare me read them all on the nexplanon website along with others don't recommend rather be on something that has less severe side effects"


"I took this pill for three months. That's all I could take as it completely ruined my skin! It gradually got worse and worse and now I have horrible scars that make me want to just cry. I will say, the acne was my only downfall with this pill. It prevented pregnancy and I felt completely myself and non hormonal - but it ruined my skin in three months. My acne stopped as soon as I quit the pill"


"I've been using for two months and the results have been amazing. My skin is clearer and brighter than it has been for years. I use Fincea every morning and Soolantra every night. After the first massive die off and resulting flare up after two weeks it has been smooth sailing."


"I was having trouble with drainage into my throat, practically choking and gagging.  This worked really well. It cleared that up and took care of the drainage.
It did keep me awake at night, but I found that if I took the two daytime doses, I didn't really need the nighttime one."


"For the last few years I have had recurrences, sometimes as often as once a week of vomiting and diarrhea.  It seemed to be traced to exhaustion and fatty foods.  In the meantime, my wife contacted C. Difficile in the hospital.  Along the way, I may have contracted C.Diffcile too.  In any event, my doctor prescribe Flagyl, which I took four times a day for 10 days.  This cleared everything up but the problem kept occurring.  For the last 45 days I have been taking 2, 250 mg. capsules once a day.  Recently I have cut down to one.  Although I have had occasional diarrhea, there has been no vomiting or nausea.  "


"Zoloft has helped with my anxiety and pms. Just think twice about going on something like this unless you really need it. I tried going off of it once and was absolutely nauseous for 8 months straight, I could barely eat. I thought it would get better but ultimately I had to go back on zoloft then my symptoms subsided. So just a wholistic route before started on these types of medication."


"The song" fire" comes to mind.  After inserting cream immediate pain, itch and burning.  I thought I was going to die and became short of breath.   I showered I prayed for Gods mercy and it worked.  There was some cramping but mild"


"I have a fear of driving and social anxiety when it comes to standing in line etc. did Zoloft for 2 weeks and thought my life was over. Went and changed my meds to lexapro half a pill every night before bed.i feel like me again. Not a different happy weirdo but the old me. I am now on 10mg and it's only been a month but I'm so glad how it's working. A little sweaty but that's about it . I also take blood pressure meds for my anxiety as needed. Before anyone tries xanaex or lorazepam I highly recommend this medicine. No side effects and non habit forming"


"This medicine is wonderful for people who suffer from panic attacks, any type of anxiety, or seizures. It has a double life. So its always in your system to help control the panic/anxiety attacks. It doesn't give you a high feeling. It just calms you down. It's a long acting benzodiazepine."


"Stay away from all benzodiazepines If you have BPD. You'll rage like nobody's business the next day."


"I have suffered from cystic acne on my face and back since I was 16 (I'm now 27). I was on birthcontrol Diane for 10 years that helped with the embarassing acne but I wanted to go off of synthetic hormones. My acne came back with a vengance one the birth control was out of my system (about 5 months later) and I was at a loss-

My derm recmmended a regimen of applying Ziana gel at night and Acanya in the mornings and also wanted to put me on antibiotics- I never took the Solodyn because I only like to take antibiotics in extreme cases to my kind to my gut.

It took 3-4 months for the acne to clear up and the dark spots to disappear but it is 100% gone! Not a single breakout. Be patient its worht it!"


"Starting Lexapro was tough.  Shivering with stomach cramps, for a week I constantly felt like I had taken some bad, terribly impure Ecstasy.

Once I became acclimated to the drug, my postpartum anxiety disappeared; however, I was incredibly fatigued during the day.

I also stopped caring about most things in general.  My house wasn't as clean and creative endeavors came to a halt.  My short term memory declined.  It felt like my brain was muffled.

I experienced lucid, unnerving dreams/nightmares most nights while taking Lexapro.

I gained 8 pounds in the 8 months I took it, all in my middle.  It took a long time to get this off afterward.

Getting off Lexapro was also tough, with back pain, insomnia, and 10 days of "brain zaps"."


"I have been suffering from endometriosis for 3 years. A low estrogen pill with iron "reminder" pills has been the only thing to help my severe cramps and bleeding. My periods are lighter but unfortunately not shorter. I'm willing to overlook that because I don't get nausea or headaches as much."


"I broke my neck and back 2 years ago combined with other medicines it works well. I can hardly get around without it."


"I have been taking quetiapine for 4 and a half months now after suffering with Borderline Personality Disorder for years. I was first diagnosed in 04 when I was 19, 8 years later I received the same diagnosis then 6 months later started receiving treatment when I started the medicine (100mg at night). It made me sleep all night long but did not do very much for my mood, was still in a very dark place. After a couple of months I found it was not "knocking me out" the way it had been and I was starting to be up throughout the night and now I don't sleep for more then an hour before waking up at night. My mood has lifted  it has only improved on a normal day but still find certain situations difficult like dealing with people outside. Hopefully it will improve."


"Evekeo made me feel like I had the flu. I felt like I had stayed up until 5am drinking tequila. I had had no alcohol at all. My muscles ached, I was exhausted, I felt like I was going to puke, and I could barely move. I went back to Vyvanse after 2 days. It ends too early for me, but doesn't make me miserable."


"In a matter of 3 years gained 44 lbs and had numerous softball size ovarian cysts. I ran and ate healthy, no change in diet (trained for marathon) and continued to gain weight. Breast pain and acne."


"This is a miracle drug for us. Lots of prayers for the one who discovered it. My mum was finally diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2015 after 10 years. Those 10 years were horrific and prior to diagnoses the situation got so much worse that the last option, which was staring us in the eye, was to institutionalize her. Me and my siblings faced a very turbulent childhood, it was a roller-coaster ride. But this drug changed everything to the point of disbelief. My mum has changed from a lunatic to a stereotypical, traditional, loving mom. The effects of the drug were instant- within a month. The dosage is 1ml in the morning and 2ml in the night-  we mix it in her food or drinks. "


"I started on pregabalin 18mths ago, on 50mg twice daily then 75mg twice daily. Its been 12 mths on twice daily 75mg and they have stopped working my anxiety and panic is back. Going back to GP today hoping to increase it. I don't want to stop it. I don't want anti depressants I am not depressed. I have come so far on pregabalin I don't want to stop. But I do think my body has got used to it."


"My Nuvaring experience was great! I LOVE IT. At first I lost sexual desire but then I felt maybe I'm just listening to these reviews too much it was all in my head its fine now. I didn't have any side effects, I didn't gain weight. I would recommend this to any girl.  "


"My OBGYN suggested I take this instead of Wellbutrin and Zoloft. It helped but not like the other two. I switched back as soon as I could."


"Most effective treatment"


"I have been taking Bydureon for several years. Prior to Bydureon my A1C was 9.2. It's now 6.4. It took about 6-8 months but the bumps did disappear. The other side effects are now very minimal. I do get bad GI effects if I over eat...but that's a good deterrent. Over three years and still loving it!"


"It's been a great experience for a couple months now since I have been on it. I totally recommend to those who aren't going to plan a next one for a couple more years ahead!"


"Tried metformin & other oral meds but none could control my fasting levels & met forming makes me very nauseous.

Endo suggested Victoza. Gave me samples to test. Lost about 10lbs in the first 1-2 weeks of using it. No obvious side effects, initially. Sugar levels seemed to normalize & I had a complete loss of appetite. All seemed well.

The samples ran out & I went for a period not using it while I awaited an endo follow up. I could see the difference in my blood sugar levels when I stopped.

However, after getting back on it the weight loss did not continue.

The longer I use it the less it works. Now experiencing shortness of breath. Seeing a cardiologist tomorrow.

Side effects I've experienced are constipation, extreme fatigue, shortn"


"When I first starting taking abilify, I was about 14 and a half and 130 pounds, and it worked great. My mood was great, side effects were minimal. However, over the course of about a year I have gained almost 60 pounds, and that was while playing two varsity sports and a club sport that whole time, so I was active majority of that time. When I came off it recently, I lost about 10 pounds over two weeks, but I was much worse than I was before I went on it, (which I find weird), so I was put back on. It is impossible to get the weight to go away."


"I have had a recent history of anxiety and depression (last 5 years) and have tried several medications for both disorders.  Unlike Lexapro, I felt all of them had much more pronounced side Effects.  I have been taking 10mg of Lexapro for two months and feel it has really hit the "sweet spot". The only noticeable side Effect has been a short period of "the jitters".  I'll feel this is a really useful medication with a very pleasant "mellowing" effect."


"Tuesday 2am chills, sweats, fever, horrible bodyaches, headache. Got in to see Dr on Wednesday 10am and tested positively for influenza. Took first dose of Tamiflu right after Dr's appointment and its now Friday 11am and I'm feeling different. I can actually get around the house no fever, sweats, chills, headache, etc. just still draggy and tired but still 2 days of medicine left. I will say definitely works!"


"This medication helps more than anything I have tried I have severe angina. I do recommend this as treatment."


"I've been on the patch for two years now and have had a pretty positive experience. I choose the patch because unlike the pill it was only once a week and didn't have many horrifying side effects like some other options out there.  I place my patch on my stomach near my belly button area, per the instructions. I find  that on my skin it stays put but removal can be a bit painful hence why I always remove it in the shower while using plenty of soap. My periods while in the patch are short and sweet and to the day. I usually have 2 days of light bleeding and two medium days to end my cycle. I did notice some weight gain, but nothing crazy and nothing I worried myself with.

Just remember every body reacts differently to birth control!"


"It's been an hour and a half, took recommended dosage, it's done NOTHING."


"My back pain started right after the kidney infection and tried X-ray, ultrasound, and therapy (still going for therapy), and physical massages. I avoided any medicine until I felt feverish one day and took one Advil pill. As I was sitting down comfortably and had to get up to make dinner, I noticed drastic change that I was in lesser pain, but still in pain. I was able to move better than I have been in two months. The physical therapy was helping, but it was a slow progress due to my work environment that requires me to lift heavy things. The massages were a bit helpful, but I wanted it everyday sort of a thing to get a relief. I ended up taking 2 Advils, but it wasn't enough for me. I told the doctor and she gave me this! No more pain!"


"This medicine did not work for me.  I suffer from Bipolar with mood swings and panic disorder.  I went up to 10mg and It seemed to help my mood but it pushed my anxiety off the charts. I was a shaky mess while taking it and also unable to focus and complete tasks.  Went off within 4 weeks."


"After 6 months with this IUD I couldn't take it anymore. I HAD to have it removed. I have never ever in my life dealt with depression/anxiety/panic attacks until I got the Copper IUD. (Before the IUD my periods were fairly light and 4-5 days on average. Light PMS. Some back pain) with the IUD  they were 7-8 days. So heavy I had to wear a pad and a jumbo tampon and change every 2 hours HORRIBLE cramping to where my only relieve was laying in bed curled up with heating pad. Midol/Tylenol rarely made a difference. Around my time of PMS I would suddenly feel very very depressed and sooo fatigue. And then my mind would race into a downward spiral where I would then panic I would feel this way forever.... Glad to have this out & be me again!!!!"


"I am currently on 3200 MG a day (was on 2400 a day, but after 5 years started to develop a tolerance).  I have been put on it for my bipolar then taken off of it then put back on it for an injury to my neck.  After several nightmare drug trials including Geodon, Tegretol, Lithium, Seroquel, and Zyprexa and more... I will never again stray from this medication.  The ones in the list that did help caused horrific side effects mostly being a feeling like restless leg syndrome (except with Seroquel it was all over my body), and with Lithium I have never wanted to commit suicide as strongly as I did on the two times I attempted that medication.  Neurontin makes me calmer, sometimes giggly I admit, and sometimes zoned out but this is rare."


"Never tried diazepam for anxiety or any other medication I also tried it for RLS . Its really effective but hard to stop and withdrawals are hell. I also acting like a zombie have risky sexual behaviour with this."


"I knew Day 1 was always the worst but my goodness, I feel like a million mosquitos have inhabited the inside of my vag. It's not really burning for me, it's the ITCH that could kill. I'm laying here in bed debating if I should just go rinse it out in the shower because I'm pretty sure I've almost clawed it raw at this point. Though reading these reviews is not only distracting but making me laugh because I can sooo relate right now. The only reason I'm doing monistat is because I'm severely allergic to Diflucan. (Which is incrediblyyyy unfortunate since I get YI's pretty regularly.) If you can, just get the pill. It's not worth losing multiple nights of sleep and feeling like your vag turned into a mosquitos biting party.."


"I have had high blood pressure for 4 years (now age 69) my doctor prescribed spironolactone as part of my treatment take one 25 MG tablet every day in the morning. to reduce body salt and retain potassium. I was not advised of the side effects such as lack of sexual drive. I have to urinate about 6 times per day (twice overnight) which is a minor problem, difficult getting to sleep, avoid taking sleeping pills, get light headed and dizzy spells at times have to take time when rising from the sitting position. Do not have any of the other side effects as described in the literature. With other medicines my blood pressure is under control."


"I received this medication in the ER for kidney stones.  Twice before the ER had given me Demerol for this pain and while it helped it did not completely give me relief.  THIS did! I do not know if it caused nausea or not, because they gave me Zofran along with it.  I know that if I am ever in severe pain again I hope the doctor will give me this medicine.  Also I had no memory loss like I do with morphine, which is a plus.  I only received it through IV."


"I put up with pain in lower back after strain for a week,  I tried the voltaren gel before bed,  it gave me relief from pain initially but I woke up at 4am in even worse pain. I'm not going to use again.  I'm going back to tumeric and black pepper, and heat packs and stretches."


"I have been on venlafaxine for almost 10 years. After being diagnosed with severe depression when I was in my twenties, I was prescribed Prozac on which I couldn't function, and then Paxil which worked okay at first.  Several years later after years of both manic and depressive episodes,  the worst  full-blown manic episode got me re-diagnosed as bi-polar. I was prescribed venlafaxine, a very small dose which made me violently ill for over 2 weeks, but after that, it improved and I felt better. My dosage has been upped numerous times. I am now at 225 mg and have been for a couple of years. It has been a life saver. I feel like I have a new life; one without rages, anxiety, and depression. My family is much more stable now that I am stable."


"I had my SKYLA IUD put in in August of 2014. It was the best decision I ever made. The cramps were not bad at first.. it took a few days for the cramps to happen, then it was just slightly worse than normal period cramps.. they only lasted for a couple of days. It took me about 8 months until my period completely disappeared. From September and onward my periods were lighter. I DID experience some in between spotting, but it wasn't anything major and happened maybe 3 times tops and the spotting lasting for 2-4 days. Again, NOT major and NOT unusual. Now, I did have a weird smell down there that my OB GYN said was a build up of bad bacteria. I was prescribed a vaginal cream which was similar=for yeast infection, it went away in 1 week"


"3 months on drug. No noticeable side effects. Amazing results, even doctor was shocked. Combined levels before using Repatha over 260. With Repatha 108.  More importantly LDL levels dropped to 28. Did not change eating habits at all to get these results."


"Does cause mild nausea at first and also when changing doses but I take it night and usually slept right through it, it only lasts an.hour or so. Other than that I love it. I was feeling hopeless, stressed, accussing my boyfriend constantly of being negligent. I was taking prozac before and it worked but made me tired and I blacked out when I drank. With brintillex I skip it if I drink and have plenty of energy and no issues. I felt good just a couple days after taking it but that subsided then a couple weeks later the "cloud" of depression just sorta lifted."


"Effective for manic anxiety in my case.Started well-But 12 months in:Put on 3 stone in weight/from size 12 to 18/Developed large pot belly associated with this drug & look 6 months pregnant/Chronic flatulence/Exhausted after a drugged 12 hour sleep each night so cannot work/Really bad memory loss/No libido whatsoever/The general slothness of not having the energy or impetus to do anything. The hunger this drug creates is insatiable: a sudden hollow pit in your stomach that needs to be filled instantly-I have never experienced anything like it, even throughout pregnancy. I you're ok living life not giving a damn about anything, this is for you,it does spin you out to nothingness. If you want a recovery-refuse this drug & seek an alternative"


"At this point I have the implant for 9 months. First 6 I was either spotting or on my period. My mood was completely different, and all over the place to the point me and my boyfriend broke up for a month. I was not myself and to this point I still don't act completely the same. About a month ago to two months I started to get very bad cramping to the point where no medicine would work I had to sit in the pain for the 10-60 second pain that was going on. I have never had pain period cramps except for the rare ones that would come once a year but this is every time I'm on my period and now my period can last for two to three weeks of this pain. My sister has it and she's doing fine with it"


"I started intuniv when I was 11 almost 12 and those first 6 months were hell, I would sleep from the time I got home from school so 3 p.m. until 6 a.m. the next morning and WAS STILL TIRED! I would fall asleep in class or on the bus it was miserable. We told the doctor and she said well just push through it and push through the tiredness, might I add if you were ever on this medicine it is not a tired you can just push through. But I tried to anyways for the next year or so and I would not sleep everyday as much but there were some days where I would sleep the entire days away! It did get better but I would still fall asleep in class and be exhausted constantly!! FINALLY when I was 15 the dr took me off of that and its been so wonderful!!!"


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Second routine colonoscopy - first one phosphasoda prep - not available anymore - terrible but clean bowel. This time on Prepopik - terrible - fainted twice - nausea - and 1/4 not cleaned out - recommended repeat in one year I don't think so -
Stuff tasted ok"


"Obstetrician prescribed this to me due to a chest infection/head cold that resulted in no sleep for me. It totally knocked me out - I slept better than I had during my entire pregnancy. Great part is I still have plenty of fetal movement."


"Great product! It does what it says it does."


"Diagnosed with major depressive disorder 9 months ago, my whole life just fell apart, I coudn't sleep, couldn't eat, was having panic attacks every day. Tried every herbal remedy on the market but none of them worked. Started lexapro 4 months ago and it has helped to lift my mood by about 40% I am sleeping better but I am always tired and foggy headed everyday. I find myself being happy and full of life only 1 day a week then I will go back to the same way again, I am so sick of the ups and downs, last week I had 2 good days then a whole week of crying and feeling terrible. After 4 months It is just not doing what I thought it would have done for me. I feel like I will never get my old like back"


"I switched to Vicodin HP from Lortab 7.5 and was also offered to have Lortab 10. After taking it for two days, Vicodin HP kills my pain. My pain is worse than you can ever imagine, I have every injury spots on my back. Vicodin HP just completely kills it and now got me doing what I always loved to do. Drive my four wheeler and rock climbing on my four wheeler. So Vicodin HP is one for you if you have bad pain. A lot of people says Lortab beats Vicodin, wrong. I experienced with Lortab for more than four years and Vicodin says otherwise! Vicodin HP, that is."


"RA and UC. Injection is awful, painful and leaves horrific rash and brusing. On Humira RA has not improved in fact gotten worse. Literally had to get a depo and toradal injection today for bad inflammation and excruciating joint pain. The nausea is beyond manageable, and the headaches! Side effects are killing me. I really wish I could upload pics of my injection sites."


"I started taking this drug in January of 2016 and for the first two months everything was fine. After the first two months of having no side effects, things got bad. I got extremely painful cystic acne around my mouth, painful menstrual cramps, headaches, and I went from weighing 150 pounds to now 180 pounds. At the beginning I barely had a period but at the end it was back to being the long and dreadful periods I once had. This birth control obviously did what it was supposed to by preventing me from getting pregnant, but the side effects were not worth it. My doctor has no changed me to Yaz so I am hoping this is a better experience."


"Worst nightmare ever! I had a slight yi and was on antibiotics so I thought I'll cut it off at the pass and spring for the big guns so I opted for the ovule. Day 1 was fine no real issues. I woke up day 2 with the biggest mother of all itches and it burned too I tried the cream that comes with it made it worse!?! My lady parts swelled . I took oatmeal bath read other reviews and decided it was just a bad reaction. day 3 hives on my thighs and hips. Then the moved to anywhere I scatched a welt would show up. The only relief for the itch was ice but I was a little afraid to get frostbite on my burning deformed lady bits. Day 4 woke up at 4am went to urgent care am on prednisone and Benadryl the Dr said don't ever use again. the end!"


"Took ambien with no problems. Doctor wanted me to come off ambien and try Belsomra. He gave me samples. Took a 10mg dose and it didn't help me fall asleep or stay asleep. Up all night. Then- the weird nightmares. I had hours of vivid nightmarish dreams. Not good. Woke up exhausted. Why would anyone take this medication if it's going to give you nightmares? I'm already an insomniac. I don't need nightmares and hallucinations too. Going back to ambien."


"I was diagnosed with GAD with symptoms including general fatigue, anxiety, panic and insomnia. Started off at 35mg but now on 150mg in morning and 75mg at night which seems to be keeping me pretty stable. However the withdrawal is horrendous. If I miss a couple of doses I get brain zaps, I can hear my eyeballs moving in my head, very anxious and panic. It works but this is some seriously messed up stuff...I can see I may have to be on this forever wheras I gave up prozac cold turkey with no problems at all."


"At 53,andtwo weeks ago I was diagnosed with ADHD after my 23 year old son was diagnosed with ADD and questions being brought up about my ADHD behaviours.

The last two weeks have been the best and most peaceful of my life. Over so many years I have developed ways to deal with my advanced ADHD but I always felt like I was living on top of life and not within it. Most of my day was pushing against unknown anxieties constant head noise and almost unnatural abilities to work within chaotic events. Probably because my whole being was a chaotic mess. Just  2 weeks and oh the joy of peace but still with energy. Oh the ability to think on one subject at a time without locking into super hyper focus shut out the world mode . Did I say oh the peace "


"Started using Veltin in August.  Started seeing results (less cystic breakouts), but didn't see consistent results until December.  All I can say is stick with it!  I now regularly go 2-3 weeks without any breakouts, 100% clear.  Prior to Veltin, breakouts happened every 1-2 days.

Major con is it dries out skin (not just where it just feels dry, but actual peeling).  The dry skin rubs off in the shower.  Pro is since it is a retinoid product, new skin feels and looks healthier."


"I was prescribed Nucynta, Celebrex and a muscle relaxer due to a fall at work that resulted in a torn hip tendon. I was also in "pool therapy" for 12 weeks as well.  Nucynta saved my life! I took it 3x's per day and was completely functional while taking it and the other prescriptions.  I only needed it for 60 days but I was able to work as our company worker's comp did not pay for anything beyond 5 days of off time due to injury.  I highly recommend it but you prescribing doctor must adhere to the prescription writing protocol in place by the manufacturer. Nucynta must be the only medicine on the prescription form, the prescription is not faxable - you must present the actual prescription in person."


"60 year old women with bone on bone and need TKR, however my doctor suggested Euflexxa saying I was too young for surgery.  I am one and a half months out from my third injection.  After the first injection I was able to sleep through the night without my knees locking, which was a huge improvement. My doctor said to take it easy for 48 hours after each injection and to ice four times a day.  Right knee responded much better than the left, but I do have some pain relief in both knees.  I started Physical Therapy 4 weeks prior to the injections and the doctor advised to continue as long as my insurance will pay.  My doctor advised I will be at my optimum 3 months out from the third injection."


"Before starting my birth control my cycle was very irregular. Flow was always very heavy, two or three days before my cycle would start I would have  severe migranes that caused me to vomit and be bed ridden for hours on end due to the pain in cramps.I would often change my tampon 5-8 times a day. After starting this prescription I have noticed a complete change. Headaches stopped I have an occasional migraine towards the beginning but could be caused from stress as well. I start my cycle every third green pill for the moth. I never wake up with a mess its wake up to use the restroom and oh I think it started very faintly red. My cramps are very minimal. I highly recommend this medication it has made my cycle manageable and comfortable."


"Nasonex was prescribed because I can't breathe easily through my nose. It is hard to sleep at night and breathing through my mouth is very troublesome.  I would wake several times at night with dry mouth, throat and in the morning, have a raspy voice. Dr thought I might have allergies and thought the Nasonex might open up nasal passages."


"After being on Diovan for three months I notice ankles are less swollen than in the past but continue to swell. I also take Arimidex, a cancer medicine. Diovan has proved to be the best medicine for me to date."


"I have had migraines since my first son was born nearly 27 years ago.  They had become more and more frequent....almost daily.   I was using the maximum amount of Maxalt that my insurance would allow.  I asked my doctor for a prophylactic medication for migraines.  I am now up to 100 mg of Topiramate 2 X daily.   Yes there are some side effects. I have some tingling in my hands, sometimes my mouth is dry, if I don't have to work or don't have a lot planned I feel tired and lazy.   I crave less sweets/ food in general...sometimes feel a little nauseated. I was losing weight (20 lbs) before starting the medication and continued after.   I have stabilized at a 40lb weightloss.  No other side effects.  Restless legs are gone.   Better sleep."


"I have had implanon for just over a year. Although its a great BC, I have had no weight gain or mood swings which I like but I do not stop bleeding it's so irregular I still have no pattern I am currently stuck in a 2 week period and starting to get bad cramping. When I first got it I had a 3 week period it seemed to be fine and then it's just changed again also my skin has turned into a teen in puberty :("


"Started it 8 days ago. 4 days nothing. Had to use magnesium citrate pills 3 in morning and 3 at night with the trulance. My doctor wants me off magnesium citrate and just rely on trulance ( new Dr doesn't know my how my body shuts Down yet) gives me bloating and gas where magnesium citrate didn't. Just pleasing the Dr till more tests are run."


"Took Plan B One-Step 2 days after sex. Gave me extremely bad cramps, dizziness, light-headedness, very heavy bleeding and my cycle lasted about 9 days. I should have gotten pregnant however, I'm not pregnant and the short term side effects are nothing compared to pregnancy symptoms AND HAVING A BABY. and, once again, I'm not pregnant!"


"Can't give a real good rate for this drug since I'm only taking it for the 2nd time today. It tastes bad, tongue numb for a few minutes after taking it. So far it is just making me tired and loopy and having some gas tonight. But then I have been very very tired for many months now and perhaps the extra sleep this allows will help me get back to normal again. I have had noises, shadows, and racing thoughts and flash backs to deal with that may have been due to anxiety etc.. Hope I don't have stomach upset in future as someone else mentioned that happening to them.  I will have to return and give a new rating after I've been on this a while longer."


"I don't recommend this at all! I know everyone's body react different. At least mine reacted negatively. I had my period for 6 months, started having breast pain and discharge, I was always tired, and oh my gosh acne!! Finally, it was a damn painful process to take it out since it was really hard to find it."


"I have had this implant for almost two years now. It works as far as contraception goes, but has caused other issues. Most birth control methods have a downside to the side effects. My experience with Nexoplanon was effective yet torturous. I have two weeks of PMS and soreness and everything involved with pre-period times, and then once I finally got my period, it would last for over three weeks. So I was either had PMS, or bleeding throughout the month. I'm having the implant removed and then giving my body some time without any birth control for a while to balance myself out, hormonally speaking."


"Well, I have always been a little heavy.... not an avid athlete or calorie cruncher.  However, when I had the IUD put in 4 years ago , I was only 10 lbs, from my pre-baby weight.  Since then, I have gotten progressively moody, have close to no sex drive and have gained close to fifty pounds!  I was told that these were not side effects by my doctor.  When I told him that I was having mood problems he prescribed my prozac.   (MY OB/GYN)   Now that I have read some reviews, I realized that maybe I am not crazy...........  I had no pain when inserted and have had no periods since I had it put in.  Which is great.  There has been a clear discharge, almost monthly, some odor and I have absolutely no bladder control.  Time to take it out!"


"I'm a 20 year old college student who just got this today, it's been about 7 hours. I may be a bit biased because I can have a low pain tolerance, but this was the worst pain in my life. The speculum was like a regular pap and wasn't so bad, but the clamp on my cervix and the actual insertion was so painful. After it was over with I started to have severe cramps and although they're not as severe now, I'm still cramping badly 7 hours later. So glad I did this on my day off because I could not have worked. Actually came home and slept for 2 hours afterwards to sleep through the pain. I'm glad that I'm covered for 3 years, but I will never get this again."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I am 67. This is what you need to know:
1. Refrigerate the water and solution, the colder the better.
2. Wash the mixing container before the next two containers of water, the smell is worse than the taste.
3. Have at least a fresh role of toilet paper and a toilet bowl brush, you will need them.
4. Have a package of diaper wipes, it makes the mess easier to clean up.

I went two days without food just to make this job easier, I do not mind hunger. The day prior to the my 7am appointment I drank the first round starting at 1pm. It started to work in 20 minutes. The second round I started at 6pm, it again was working in 20 minutes and over in about 3 hours.
Prior to using the solution I drank a lot of gator aid, no hunger to speak of."


"I've been on Implanon for about 10 months now. And I have to say that I am extremely satisfied with the results! I've had no periods which means no mood swings. Everything was leveled. I was worried about weight gain on this medication but its actually extremely easy to lose weight on Implanon if you are unsatisfied for whatever reason.

Truth be told I did break out really bad in the first few months, but after a regimen change my skin cleared right up.

I love Implanon and I haven't stopped recommending it!"


"No side effects the first day, after that bloating and nausea. Final day of use prolonged vomiting and diarrhea, over 10 hours before it stopped. Discontinued use and informed doctor."


"I've been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for four months. My period use to be random and I would bleed heavily for 7 to 8 days. I had horrible cramps and nausea. Horrible moody PMS.  Now... Light periods, 3 to 4 days. Same time. I've gained weight while on the pill, my breasts got bigger but I was petite to begin with. No acne. At the beginning I was emotional for the first month but now I'm not. Only thing that is happening now is I have pain during sex. I would be ready to go but once my boyfriend and I try it hurts for him to put it in, and I'll have to stop because it hurts so bad. I'm making an appointment now to see the doctor but I've heard it's because of the low dose of estrogen."


"I started taking Losartan about 3 weeks ago as a replacement for Lisiniprol, which made me cough all the time.  Everytime I take Losartan, 50mg, I get a lot of abdominal and chest discomfort.  It wasn't controlling my BP as well as the doctor wanted it to, so she upped my dosage to 100mg.  That only led to increased thoracic discomfort, which I am not willing to endure on a daily basis.  Moving on to try something else..."


"I really like this medicine it's only been about 3 weeks and I'm feeling good, but for the last 2 weeks I have had a bloody nose everyday. So I have decided to stop taking it as of today and ask my doctor for a different prescription"


"After a lifetime of smoking I’m finally free.
But two important things: nausea is the most common side effect. The answer to nausea? Take the champix with a travel (gravol) tab. Works like a dam!!
And: it took three complete cycles until I was finally free.
I have and will give this drug my highest and heartiest recommendation.
Cheers and good luck."


"I've had to have 2 injections of Dilaudid for migraines.  After each one, I started having severe knee pain and have no idea what the connection might be.  It often radiates up into my hip."


"I honestly didn't realize how much I loved this birth control until I switched. I'm currently taking Jolessa and it's horrible. Microgestin was perfect for me because I would never bleed in between, I wasn't emotional and I didn't gain weight. I also took my packs back to back for 3 months and I wouldn't spot until I was off of it. Really need to get back on this BC."


"Have been taking Buspar for over 10 years along with an antidepressant.  Before taking Buspar, anxiety attacks were so bad that I could not work for several years.  I take it at night and no side effects, unlike other anti-anxiety medicines."


"So far so good. Just like all the other medications, you have to monitor your symptoms.  It took about 4-5 months for full effect. Haven't had to use prednisone since then going on 2+ years now."


"I've been on Ocella for about 8 months now and it's cleared up my acne pretty well (I'm on Accutane to kill the rest off). I also use it to stop my periods. It works well for that purpose. The only reason I give it 9/10 is that I spot if I skip too many, which didn't happen with Jolessa. But other than that it's a great pill and I have no side effects from it. I would recommend trying it for acne or to stop periods. I can't speak on it's effectiveness for pregnancy prevention or other conditions."


"I have been taking Apri for the last month and a half and I like it. I am 19 and this is my first time on birth control, I am using it for PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome. I have lost five pounds and my acne is starting to clear up. The only issues I have are the munchies since I'm trying to lose weight, but I just eat fruit or salad when I get super hungry like that. Hopefully things stay as great as they are. Wish you all the best of luck."


"I was prescribed Seroquel 50mg a few years ago after an eighteen-year battle with constant sleep problems. And it does help me get to sleep every night; my dosage has never changed. My only complaints are the RAMPANT hunger I experience before giving in to the fatigue and the dizziness/nausea when trying to stand for too long after the effects have set in.

As far as sleeping medication goes, Seroquel takes the cake. I don't notice any psychoactive effects aside from the sedation."


"It doesn't taste like anything when I took it. But I eat a meal with it and drink a glass of water/milk like it suggests. I've taken this medication three times. Each time it makes my stomach hurt and I feel very nauseous. I also get sweaty and have bad diarrhea within in an hour or two. It clears the infection up well though."


"I am on day three of this thing. I've missed this mornings dose because I felt deathly nauseous and depressed as thus stuff has me bedridden. I called in sick today. I work from home anyway, but I called in sick. I didn't even want to get the laptop from the living room to email I was that tired and lifeless from about 11 hours of "almost going to vomit" nausea. This stuff is brutal. I'm sitting here looking at the next dose scared to take it, but if thus thing works then its the possibility of a lifetime of normality. Weighing up the odds of four more days of hell but if it doesn't work then next treatment will probably be more brutal. My mother had this triple therapy and has only complained of slight nausea and bad taste .So nauseous&depressed:("


"I was prescribed Cefdinir after getting a sinus infection and bronchitis.  It solved that problem in just a few days, but after 3 days on it, my diarrhea became intolerable, far worse than the original sickness.  I stopped taking Cefdinir.  It's been over 3 weeks now of non-stop gastrointestinal pain that landed me an clonoscopy procedure, stool cultures at the hospital, and persistent diarrhea.  The worst of which culminated in a near black out from pain on the toilet.  My case may have been a rare exception but I'm certain Cefdinir is no friend of mine."


"Using Chantix, I quit after a 40 year habit. Good stuff. A life saver"


"A side effect noted. Amount of ejaculate reduced to very near none."


"I tried it and I found that you could cheat with the product but I finally decided to give it all up. I have been smoke-free for 16 years now and enjoy smelling and tasting the real things in life. I don't miss smoking at all and I was a pack a day or more."


"I have a lot of faith in belviq. I will be starting the drug twice a day tomorrow morning. I'll post something every week. Wish me luck :)"


"I'm 31 and have developed severe allergies over the past couple of years. My eyes are horrible, itchy, watery, burning at times. I finally broke down and went to an allergist. I am allergis to cats and dog, plus Dust Mites. Yay! I have 2 cats. She gave me a sample of Pataday, with a prescription. I have been using them everyday for 5 days, one drop in each eye in the morning. A M A Z I N G!!! My eyes are so clear, they don't itch, they don't water but a little in the morning and then I'm good the rest of the day. I haven't rubbed them in five days, they are finally starting to heal. I have rubbed them raw with all the itching. I love these drops and can't wait to fill the prescription! My miracle eye drops. Thank you!"


"I was on this for about two months and I thought I was going insane. My depression was really bad and my stomach hurt and I have severe panic and anxiety attacks. Don't get this medicine if you have depression. It'll save you the tears and fights in your relationship."


"I'm a 61 year old male. I have a herniated disc in my lower back. I was in severe pain. I received a series of steroid injections that really helped. Gradually the pain returned but not near as severe as the initial pain but bad enough to cause me a lot of discomfort. I've since been taking one diclofenac 75 mg tablet with one tramadol 50 mg tablet every morning. This combination works just great for me and gets me through my work day. The diclofenac and the tramadol seem to enhance each other's effect I think. The only side effect that I've noticed from this is slight constipation and a slight loss in appetite."


"I have panic disorder when I'm under stress and it has been very helpful. I take 1.0 mg per day. It changes my negative thought process and allows me to focus on positive aspects of my life. I have been conservative in the dosage. I have taken as little as 0.25mg per day when I'm feeling well and as much as 1.25 mg per day if I'm under stressful conditions. I would follow your physicians instructions but this pattern of dosage seems to work for me."


"I tried every anti-psychotic, every re-uptake inhibitor known to man. In 2010 I had a  doctor work with me and prescribed Oxcarbazepine. I feel like my old self again. For over 4 years I was able to maintain employment, interact with my children in a healthier way. It has changed my life."


"In 3 days of use I had itchy scalp within 2 weeks I had to be taken off due to itchy rash on neck and face as it was getting worse. It has been 2 weeks on new medication and I am still having the breakout."


"I have had the copper IUD for close to two weeks. Unprotected sex with my boyfriend and long term birth control are the ONLY pros. Cons include: acne, anxiety, low sex drive, fatigue, weight gain (4 pounds in one week). cramps, random shooting pains. I am a thin woman with a high metabolism & have found it impossible to lose the weight. I look puffy & feel horrible. I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. I'm getting it removed today."


"Day 4 of this medication.  Taking it for a sinus infection.  Sinus pain and pressure are gone. I have now developed congestion in my lungs and it hurts to breath.  My stomach is irritated and my mouth and gums are raw. It has become difficult to drink or eat.
Taking with Mucinex as prescribed.
I feel worse."


"Didn't notice any side effects and slight reduction in back and shoulder pain."


"Lithium is the best medicine out there for Bi-Polar.  I have severe Bi-Polar with Rapid Cycling and have been on every medicine out there.  This is the only medicine that has worked.  I was always afraid to take it because of weight gain and the tests they have to run to check your lithium levels.  I'm glad I decided to give it a try.  I had the shaky hands side effect really bad I couldn't even write a sentence.   My Doctor then prescribed me propranolol and after one day of taking it I have no more tremors.  I take them 4 times a day. Make sure you eat before you take the Lithium.  Good luck."


"I have been on Arimidex for 4 years.  Side effects I have had are severe hot flashes, and  ever increasing joint pain. I am considering going off the medication entirely, even though it has not been the full five years yet, or switching to a different medicine.  "


"My Pain mgt. doctor switched me from Demerol to Nucynta for break-through pain of chronic migraines.  Surprisingly, I found it to be effective, but I noticed from the start that it greatly diminished my language skills:  reading, writing, and speaking.  As per doctor's orders I stayed in bed while under the effects of Nucynta so this weird side effect didn't cause me any issues.

     Until...After using it for 15 months, I found my language skills to be extremely loopy, creating comments from friends and neighbors, DAYS after taking Nucynta. That scared me and my doctor immediately took me off this medicine when I finally advised her of the language problem it presented.  I could be reading a sentence and forget a word's meaning."


"Have suffered with insomnia for years. Tried many medications with Zolpidem  ER (Generic Ambien ER) 12.5 the only one that helped. Even then, still was not getting great results at times.  Tried 10 mg of Belsomra, hoping for a better result. This was one of the worst nights I have ever had in my life.  Was wide awake until 4:30, followed by horrible, segmented, almost hallucinogenic dreams. After my alarm woke me, I was in the strangest state of mind, where I had to make myself speak. I finally told my husband, I'm sorry, I've got plenty of conversation in my head, but I have to MAKE myself speak.  I was afraid to drive after this, and had my son drive me. This condition eventually got better. One dose. Never again."


"I had bad anxiety and would go 48 hours without sleeping so I was prescribed this to calm me down and help me slee, which it did worked great. I used it for 3 months till I got on Zoloft I would take 1mg pill 1 hour before bed. What a lifesaver."


"Knocks me out cold for 10 hours with no break in between. I wake up in the morning with my bladder ready to explode. But the sleep I got was not restful. I did not wake up feeling fresh. I started with 15mg and moved to 30mg after 2 weeks. It worked for 8 months that I took it. Then I stopped it to test myself. Have hardly slept in 2-1/2 months since then. May have to go back to Mirtazapine. But I am thinking of trying something else before I do that."


"I've been on camrese for almost a month before I was on lo seasonique which I loved better. I switched because I was told  it helped better with cramps an lighten your period, but omg I been spotting every since I been on it! My period was due last week but i just been spotting. I'm on my last week of pills this week. I take my pill every morning on time never miss still spotting smh. I'm calling my doctor telling him I need to switch back over. Its  literally like your on your period for a whole month! I don't recommend at all!"


"I suffer from post nasal drip with constant coughing. Nothing else helped .Always got side effects
I read where this product was good for my systems. Wow what a difference. Took 24 hours to see a difference  but boy the difference in coughing spells ,drainage was cut 75%.
I have felt this good in years.
Even When I don't have post nasal drip."


"I've taken Prozac a few times starting at 22. That 1st time was a nightmare! I literally lost time- only remember crying all the time...I don't even remember how long I took it! But that WAS 25 yrs ago. So I was deathly afraid to try it again til about 6 yrs ago. That time it was a lifesaver! I felt my mood lift alot after a week, then even more after a month. These results lasted for several yrs with some sexual side effects, but less than with Zoloft & Lexapro (which also caused waking WIRED every 4 hrs). After a few yrs it felt like I was on nothing at all so I switched to Pristiq which again, saved my life. Now I'm back to Prozac. But I'm sure it's more about what's going on in my life. Nothing works without situations improving as well."


"I took the tablets 10mg a day for six months. They didn't lower the bottom number on my BP reading, I also developed a cough."


"I was having sex with my boyfriend and somewhere in the mist of it all out condom broke . We started to freak and regret all our life decisions. I took the pill about an hour and a half later and began to immediately feel tired afterwards . It lasted for about two days along with bad mood swings , frequent head aches ..nothing to bad..and a few cramps here and there . despite all the side affects, waiting is definitely the worst part. When I didn't get my period on the day I was supposed to I began to panic . I even went out and bought pregnancy test that came back negative . Sure enough today , my period came, 3 days late . I have never been so happy to see blood in my entire life . This pill is a life saver !!"


"I have multiple sclerosis, also scoliosis. Walking with a Cane for 20 years caused it, now I am in wheelchair permanently. I have had a very hard time sleeping, my brain just over thinks all the time, I am a retired I.T director, automation designer and engineer, so I guess it's just a problem with high IQ. Anyway my Neuro started me out on nortriptyline 25mg. I could tell, it was doing some good but still not sleeping. Taking Ambien just was not cutting it. Last week my doctor put me on 50 mg and for the first time in years I slept all night long. I was amazed! I normally eat dinner late, so I have to take it. Before I eat or it does not work."


"Have been on Xarelto for 2 1/2 yrs after pulmonary embolism.  First 20mg, then 15mg, now 10 mg.

Have experienced a lot of negative side effects.  Muscle and skeletal pain, intense burning pain in legs and other parts of body.  Limits my movement tremendously and has had a very negative effect on my lifestyle.  Am in pain everyday even with pain killers.

If I stop Xarelto for a few days feel a lot better and am able to walk without little pain.  My doctor says it's my imagination. That pain is not coming from Xarelto!  Frustrating."


"Took XR but IR is a little heavy for me. Now I split my meds in half 5mg 2-3 times a day. Duration seems better than XR. I take lamictal as well. IR helps me get more done but I don't feel personally that the good outweigh the bad. I have reached a norm. Weight. I eat healthier I look healthier. And I take better care of my body. At first - dry skin slightly, hyper focused (my body did not know how to react) I smelT AWFUL at first! Haha I sweat it out ew! I can't find this side effect anywhere. It can take a toll if you don't take care of your body. Stay healthy."


"The sub's,  are keeping well from opiod withdraw. And It is keeping me out of pain!

I take a buprenorphine patch 20 milligram I wear it for 7 days it works fine. I was taking the patch and taking oxycodone. I got on the Suboxons to get off the oxy's.

So I'm asking can I just stop soboxoñ and apply the patch??"


"One week on Bleviq - lost 5lbs!!!   NO EXERCISE.  Imagine what I could lose if I did (which I will now that the weather is clearing)..... It makes the hunger go away and I am full off of SO little.  Its awesome."


"I was having stomach pain and I had a bad vaginal yeast infection took too acidophilus probotics, and had immediate reaction. I feel sooooo much better. I bought the Advanced acidiphilus by Solgar and it really worked. Prior to taking the probotic i was feeling weak and very irritated. but now I feel fine.

Thank God I found something that really works."


"I used to get chronic bladder infections, especially after intercourse.  It did not matter how clean I thought I was or what I did to prevent them, I would still get them.  I take 1/2 tablet of Bactrim after intercourse, as prescribed by my doctor, and I never get a bladder infection. Yay!"


"Dr gave me 300mg 4 times a day for what they think is infection in my foot after a drawer fell on my foot and had fluid on top of foot with swelling. After 3rd dose throat was swollen. Couldn't swallow made the left side of my chest hurt so bad it felt like a heart attack. I was itching so bad. I was so thirsty. I went to ER, Dr said he had never heard of anyone having a reaction to that med. Gave me a shot of benadryl it helped. It wore off and everything happened again. Days later my stomach is cramping. I have been drinking pedalite & Gatorade. Still feel thirsty. I am allergic to penicillin & bactrim so Dr thought this would be a good one. It is not. This is wicked stuff. NEVER EVER will I take again"


"I just want to say that I am amazed!!

I'm 37 and had severe malasma for over 3 years but thanks to Tri-luma it has changed my life and my confidence again. I'm almost 4 weeks in.  Maas results after 1 week and amazing between 3-4 week.  I don't have to wear such heavy makeup anymore !!!!  So happy .  I highly recommend this product.  It really works !!!"


"Worked very well for me after abdominal surgery. It was given to me through a pain pump, it was great because I could sleep and rest."


"I was an inpatient back end of April thru 1 st week of May. My previous BP med wasn't doing the job. The team of doctors I saw changed my medication to Losartan  100 mg. & also added Amlodipine 5mg. My BP came down instantly & this combo works very well . However,  the top of my head is almost bald all the way to the crown.  It wasn't like this prior to medication change. "


"I love the results of taking this prescription.  My only issue was my mood swings while on them.  I seemed to be mad a lot.  So I started just taking half a pill and it only got a little better.  That is the only reason I gave it a 9 and not a 10.  It works, but the effects it has on my mood are not good."


"I was prescribed this after gallbladder surgery. It works really well, although I feel kinda loopy on it."


"Bad side effects!"


"After suffering with migraines for over 10yrs Topamax has been a life saver. I had tried several other meds (Zomig, Imitrex, etc.) but they would only work for a while and then stop working for me all together. I have been on Topamax for over a yr now and went from 4 or 5 migraines a month to one every couple of months.  I am currently taking 200mg/day (100mg in the morning and evening). Side effects are minimal compared to the agony of having migraines all the time."


"I was initially prescribed ramipril for renal protective purposes due to high proteinuria.  I started at 5 mg and was gradually increased to 30mg over a 2 year period.
Side effects: sleeplessness, irritable, panic attacks, overwhelm, inability to cope with everyday life, crying, loss of confidence, unable to complete projects...
I thought is circumstantial, so over 6 month period quit my jobs and focused to reduce and manage stressors in life. But no improvement!?! The only thing left to remove/try was the drug. I went off it for 12 days and felt like million bucks! Calm, happy disposition, sleep, I was myself again! But bp went up to 189/116.  Hope there is another option for me :("


"I am 25 years old, female, no kids. Tried combination pill for 2 months about 5 years ago, absolutely hated it so no BC other than condoms since then. I started Nora-Be a month ago about a week after end of period. Waited 3 days before having unprotected sex, no problem. Just had my period as scheduled this past week, was slightly lighter but still lasted 6 days total as usual. Some cramps the first couple of days. The only obvious side effects the first 2 weeks was dryness/itchiness down there and slight increase in moodiness but all is good now."


"It works. No more cravings, no more stealing. The best part is I do not even miss the heroin. It does have side effects, I have a problem concentrating when I am on it. It also gets me constipated. I take Mylax daily to prevent that. It is amazing how I no longer crave opiates! None! Thank God for this as my life was spiraling out of control."


"I was given metformin for borderline type 2 diabetes. It made me want to sleep all the time, caused my sugar to go up, and caused stomach pain.  Obviously this medication is not for me. "


"Works very well. I find that chewing gum while using this helps out a lot. Chewing gum opens up your ear canal. I use it once every other week. "


"I've been on numerous topical and oral medications for acne.  At one point, Solodyn and Doxycycline have been the only skin savors for me.  My derma put me on several different topicals over the course of the last four years i.e. Ziana, Epiduo, Onexton, Retin-A, and Acanya.  I've probably tried more but can't remember all of them.  The last topical I was on was Epiduo until I found out that I was pregnant.  My Dr quickly put me on Finacea since it is safe to use during pregnancy.  I have to say, it's been 6 days using it morning and night and is the absolutely best topical I've tried.  My skin is under control and past acne scars are fading.  Really do love this stuff.  Wish I tried it sooner!"


"For several years, I have been experiencing very heavy and clot filled periods, sometimes lasting as long as 21 days (the heavy part would occur from day 2-4) and I was bleeding past super large tampons and pads every 30 minutes (I would wear both). I was also experiencing chest pains and shortness of breath, which forced me to the hospital a few times. There were no heart issues, however, I was severely anemic and received several blood transfusions, my lowest blood level being 5.4. An ultrasound  determined that I have fibroids and was prescribed megastrol acetate and although I have light daily spotting and headaches, this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. When I do have a period, it's just slightly more than spotting."


"Worked ok on aches and pains but really messed with me mentally. Made me very depressed and socially withdrawals. I feel more fatigue and lot of headaches."


"I take Flexeril with Loratab 7.5/500 due to a neck injury and spinal fusion of the C5/C6 Cervical Vertibrae"


"It's been over a year now that I've been on Zoloft. I take 200 mg a day and I still

cannot believe how much my life has changed/improved!! I am 36 years old and had been suffering from severe  panic attacks, anxiety, and agoraphobia for almost 15 years...it was a complete challenge to get to work and even imagine a day without the feeling of anxiety from literally the time I woke up until I went to bed.. .I wasn't enjoying life at all, I was just existing. I had absolutely no control of my own conscious!! I finally decided that I had to try a prescription or else I would let this take over what little life I had completely! I started Zoloft on 25mg and worked up to the max of 200mg over about three months. It was the best decision ever!"


"I love this birth control! I've been using Lutera for a month now. First time ever being on anything and at first I was very nauseous the first week taking it. I believe that was just my body getting used to it. I did spot after receiving my period. I've lost a total of 6 pounds in the first month and my breast have gotten slightly plumper. Haven't experienced any mood swings. I guess everything works differently for everyone."


"After a year of appointments & about 12 medication combinations later at the Cleveland Clinic Headache Clinic I have been on 20 mg Lisinopril, 120mg Diltiazem and 100 mg Doxepin daily for over 15 years. Down to 5 migraines per year. (Used to be 100/yr). With such a wonderful outcome we have tried to wean me off the meds 2 times. BAD IDEA. I'll probably be on these for next 30 years. But hopefully migraine free."


"I've been on this birth control for six months.
Pros- sex drive is out of control, light period, period every three months which is wonderful, short period (I'm taking 3-4 days light bleed), no cramps, no bloating
Cons- took my pills before bed and the night sweats are a bummer, breakthrough bleeding here and there until month four (took awhile to adjust)"


"Taking 50mg. This is my first week. Wellbutrin gave me hives and Lexapro was nothing more than a sugar pill. My most noticeable side effects:  repetitive yawning on day three and day six. Almost incomplete non satisfactory yawning followed with a quick wave of nausea. My first two days I felt really nervous. Insides were shaky. Very minor headaches almost every other day. My general sense of well being has improved but I am quieter. I am not as vocal as I was. Almost subdued, which means less arguing with my fiance. I haven't noticed an appetite decrease, in fact my hunger pains seem more pronounced. My sex drive was gone to begin with so nothing to report there.  I was in the sun today, noticed a much greater sensitivity to it. Dry mouth."


"I started Latuda after being on risperidone for a couple of months.  Latuda has gotten better and better. Much less anxiety, more focused, less drowsy. I exercise a lot now too which I think helps a lot though.  The only thing is it makes me a little nauseated right after I take it which is before bedtime."


"Minstratrin is definitely a hit or miss. Everyone will experience the effects differently and I have come to learn this from trial and error. I wouldn't say it was horrible, but okay. Not something I would want to stick with.

Pros, I've experienced:
No weight gain
Pleasant mint flavored pill - doesn't taste like your typical yucky pill
Short & lighter periods
Bearable menstrual cramps

Cons, I've experienced:
Mild acne
Bloating
Fatigue
Chronic Bacterial Vaginitis & Yeast Infection"


"Excellent results exceeded any expectations. I am 59, insulin diabetic for 26 years. Get great erections that last with Cialis. Starts work almost immediately and keeps working for the whole 36 hours for repeated erections and intercourse. I also use cock rings which helped on their own for about 8 years before adding Cialis. Without rings I cannot get an erection, with them I can get partial short lasting ones. With Cialis alone I get good, long lasting erections, with Cialis and the rings I get very strong, long lasting erections. Wife is now very happy."


"I started taking lysteda 3 months ago.  The first month was great except once I was done my period came back but not heavy. The next month I had 2.5 days of mess and my period stopped. I didn't take anymore as it makes me feel like crap. Now 49 days later I still haven't had a period.  Not sure I will take this again."


"A miracle drug for me when I go into coughing fits at night and am unable to sleep."


"I started using Contrave the last two weeks of December.  During the first two weeks of December I was already down 15lbs just from watching what I ate, so in taking this I thought it would really kick my weight loss into high gear.  I was completely wrong.  I took this medication for 6 weeks and did not lose a single pound.  I continued doing what I had been previously, watching what I ate, drinking tons of water, and was up to the 4 pills a day dosage.  The only thing this did was make me nauseous.  Since stopping the medication exactly 6 days ago, I am already down 9lbs.  It is not worth the possible side effects.  I had high hopes for this medication, but was unfortunately let down."


"I have been on this medication for around 12 years 60mg a day for OCD and depression, it got me out of a very very deep hole, got me back to work able to function got me back as a normal person, u fortuantly i used alcohol and recreational drugs aswell which made me riddled with anxiety and depression, im clean and sober 8years now and am still on the prozac, iv recently had a low episode and i was self medicating with my prozac as and when i needed, obviously this wasnt the greatest ideas and this has led me back to being depressed again but im back on 40mg of prozac a day, i may feel like i have gone back to the begining of it all but i havent iv just had a little set back in my recovery, all in all prozac for me is a life saver"


"I have been taking Celexa for 13 years for anxiety/irritability which it works great for. Sexual side effects are terribly disappointing - lack desire and difficult to climax. Anytime I try to go off, the anxiety and irritability are present within the 2nd day. Really wish I could find something that worked as good without the side effects. No other medicine has even touched anxiety/irritability the way Celexa has."


"Lately I've been having really bad panic attacks, migraines, night terrors/nightmares every night for three weeks I started Zoloft last night and it already started working within a night I'm more calm and feel like my old self already."


"I was given Lexapro from my GP for anxiety which I had tried to manage naturally the past two years with various techniques to no avail. My panic symptoms were with me everyday and often suffered panic attack episodes.
Made it extremely difficult to do
everyday type stuff let alone work. I
 was always drug resistant..the kind
of person who wouldn't even want to
take a headache med so the thought
 of a drug therapy I would do everyday was
scary. Anyhow, its early on less
than two weeks and I haven't even
experience any real side effects
apart from a little tiredness first
week. I feel less anxious already, no
attacks and my thoughts aren't
looping in my head anymore. I'm
hoping it continues to get better!"


"This was the hardest drug to get and be approved. I was doing the bridge pack and kept having to call the doctors to get them to keep trying with insurance. Then I had to keep calling otezla to keep it coming to my house. I never felt fully better. Maybe just a tiny bit but definitely not worth all the hassle. I ended up just quitting since I couldn't get it here on time and it kept lapsing my treatment."


"As one of the reviewers who posted feeling "different" on day 1 or 2 on Pristiq, I am now on it for 10 days and I have been very tired up until today.  From day 2-8, I slept a good 12 hours daily which is hard to do with kids lol!  But today I woke up feeling good and immediately made beds, put on coffee and whipped up a great breakfast.  This may not seem like "a big deal" but for me, who was lying in bed crying for 8 or so weeks, it's a huge change and I hope it continues.

I have been waking up frequently at night but it's not that bad as I can fall back to sleep easily.  As I said in another post, I was on another antidepressant for almost a year and it was horrible.  The hardest part was saying yes to the help offered.  Good luck to all."


"Trazodone was prescribed to me as a sedation for sleep at night. I had a very bad night the first night. I had an extreme temperature and excessive sweating. However, this happened to me only in the first night. After that it worked fine. Weirdly I had taken it before and had discontinued due to lack of insurance. The very first time I took it I had the exact same reaction only on the first night. Vivid dreams, extreme sweat, elevated temperature. I felt very feverish. After that, nothing out of the ordinary except being able to sleep."


"I am giving it a 5 because as far as being effective goes... it was very effective. I first had the implanon for 3 years and then was placed on nexplanon. I just had it removed yesterday, the 3 years is up shortly. I have had issues with irrational mood swings. To the point that I thought I was bi polar and needed to be diagnosed. It has caused strain on my relationships and has made me feel awful about myself. I got it removed after doing research about what could be causing these mood swings and found out there are hundreds, probably thousands or more, of people who have had the a similar situation. I am hoping that now that it has been removed I will start to feel better soon."


"I am on my second Implanon. The first Implanon was a dream: no periods, no spotting, no maintenance, insertion was easy, bone density returned after 8 years on Depo, no mood swings. The only bad part was removal: I (intentionally) gained about 30lbs while on Implanon and the doctor had a hard time removing the implant: multiple incisions and significant discomfort. The site was sore for weeks. And now 3 months into my 2nd Implanon I am getting side effects: constant light bleeding (2 months so far), tender breasts, cramps, mood swings and depression...I loved it the first time and still recommend Implanon, but this is just a wake up call that it's not for everyone...and the way your body reacts can change!"


"I'm 20 now and I have been taking methadone for a while now and I love it. I have been on Percs and Vics for a long time and they didn't work as well as the methadone. It lasts all day and doesn't take long to start working. I thank my doctor every month when I go back to get refills. I didn't know you could use it for pain but I'm really happy you can. If you are on Percs or Vics and they aren't lasting very long and you are not looking for the high you can get from pain medicines ask your doctor about methadone, it's the best pain medicine out there."


"I had no noticeable negative side effects, and was able to function in a normal way without feeling like it was forced."
