"This is my first experience taking medication for anxiety or any mood disorder.  I experience anxiety, not panic attacks, just general focusing on things that should not matter.  I am 4th day of 10mg and already feeling less anxious.  Though I had sharp gas pain on the second day, I have had no other gastrointestinal issues.  I was nauseous and tired on the first day but now I have no side effects that are problematic.  I can still sleep but I find it harder to get tired in the evening and if I do wake up in the night, it's hard to fall back asleep. "


"Well obviously I had sex with my boyfriend the week I was ovulating. The condom broke so we bought the pill just incase, I took the pill less than an hour later. I didn't feel any side effects other than a little cramping, I got my period out of no where yesterday and it was a week early. I am so relieved! It might be expensive but it's so worth it!"


"Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2003 and went through treatment. In 2004 developed metastatic bone cancer in her back which was non treatable by chemo or radiation.  Her doctor put her on Tarceva in 2005 and did a PET scan base line.  We repeated the PET scan in Jan 2009 and her cancer has not progressed AT ALL!  There are even a couple spots in her back that showed cancer in 2005 that did not appear in her 2009 PET scan.  Mom has had no side effects from this medication.  The doctors in 2005 thought Mom would only live 6 months, I am extreamly pleased to have her for 4 years and still counting.  "


"This is a godsend for daily cluster headaches."


"After breast cancer I had to go on Prolia to counter act the possible fractures caused by my cancer meds. My PCD noticed my PTH levels were off the charts and sent me for  a CT scan.
My numbers went down after 5 months post Prolia. They went up pre 2nd shot of Prolia. I went to Mayo Clinic because I needed an answer. The endocrinologists there stated point blank that the high PTH is common with Prolia, but that Prolia outways the possibile fractures weak bones can cause. So I'm damned if I do, damned if I don't. He told me to up my Calcium and take 1000 units of Vitamin D /daily."


"I have used this product before with no problem. Today I went out to buy because I felt early signs and wanted to catch it before it got worse and the actually cream made it worse!! After a minute or 2 after applying the cream my insides itch and burn. I never had a problem before I don't know why now. I won't be able to sleep with my vagina on fire."


"I experienced normal bleeding after getting it put in was a little worried because I bleed for a while after getting it put in. Was told it was normal. I have since not even thought about it. I have no problems or issues with it actually really like this birth control and I've tried many before"


"I have been using Rhinocort for approximately 8 years. Using two squirts of Rhinocort twice a day  stops nasal drip.  Nasal drip causes me to cough constantly.  I have never experienced any side effects whatsoever using Rhinocort."


"I knew for a while that something was off down there. I suspected BV, and went and asked my doctor for the antibiotic. I am VERY sensitive to most medications, which typically cause me intense nausea. So I was very nervous to try this stuff, especially after reading reviews. But I'm happy to say I've little to no side effects, aside from slight headache. However I did start with a very small dose, just to try it out. My doctor told me to take 500 mg (two pills) a day with food. But the first day, I only took half of a pill (about 125mg) just to see how it went down. No problems. Day two I took the full dose, no problems and BV symptoms are almost gone. Coated my pill in peanut butter as per my doctors suggestion, and have yet to taste it."


"Tried this drug for 5 weeks and had no positive change and ended up having worse than normal anxiety when going from 5mg x3 daily to 10mg x 3 daily."


"I am 21, and have been taking the pill since the age of 16. Two years ago I began to take Yaz, after severe mood swings, depression, and overwhelming sadness and anger due to PMDD.  Yaz has been a lifesaver for me! I don't have cramps, my period lasts 3 days at most and is very light (not even enough to warrant use of a tampon), and my skin is perfectly clear, with the exception of 2 pimples a month around menstruation. But the absolute best part is my mood! I became ME again, a happy, easy-going person, who doesn't pick fights with her boyfriend over burnt spaghetti noodles ;)"


"Insertion = Sucks

No periods or pregnancies for 5 years = Awesome

Best decision of my life."


"Wellbutrin XL was a fabulous medication for depression, but I experienced two side effects - muscle and joint pain and significant swelling in my legs. If it weren't for these things, I would stay on this medicine as it has been  wonderful for depression."


"One of the best benzodiazepines I have taken."


"I was previously on Tri-Sprintec for years, when my pharmacy started carrying Tri-Previfem. I switched thinking it would affect me the same. However, I started getting headaches often, feeling weak, my face broke out, and I had spotting. I know that these effects may come when switching brands, but when I switched from Ortho TriCyclen Lo to its generic, then back to brand, then to Tri-Sprintec I have never had any problems. I am a pharmacy technician and I have had several customers that have had trouble when switching to Previfem or Tri-Previfem. I will be switching back to Tri-Sprintec once the pharmacy special orders it."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Downside for me with Pradaxa was severe acid reflux.  Neither my doctor nor my pharmacist told me until I complained of this that Pradaxa works in an acidic environment so they put acid in the capsule.  This was particularly difficult at night. I was taking Tums by the handful.  Within a day of not taking it, the acid reflux disappeared.  I'm now trying Xarelto.  So far, no upset stomach."


"I got this for bv within the first 48 hr the smell is gone and I'm feeling it working. However I did get sharp pelvic pains, face red and hot, nauseous, feeling very very ill like the flu came over me and also very moody! The rumbling tummy came soon after the 3rd dose and I don't want to eat or drink anything at all which I could stand to loose a few pounds lol But it's working and Those are temporary so I'm continuing."


"I have had the mirena for 9 months.  I was super nervous About having it inserted but it wasn't bad at all. A little uncomfortable but not awful.  I bled for about 3 months as expected before beginning to lighten and eventually didn't bleed at all.  It was wonderful and I have loved my mirena ever since. However I started bleeding heavily again about a week ago and I'm a little concerned. Hesitant to go to my doctor about what seems like a period but I think I need to."


"I was ticked at first when TRICARE Prime refused to pay for the Nexium I had been prescribed when on Active Duty.  Tried the VA too and they said no too.  VA prescribed omeprazole and after two weeks of 40mg/day taken before two meals, I'm fine!  No reflux.  OK so far.  Good because I like saving money."


"I've been on this a little over 6 months and haven't had any issues with it... Still not pregnant (I take it religiously every day at noon) and cramps are minimal but I DO have painful gas at times.  Was hoping acne would go away but no such luck there... Nor did I "suffer" from larger breasts so that was a let down.  Overall, not a bad product"


"This is my third month using Cyclessa and I'm very happy with it.  I used to have periods that lasted a week to a week and a half and more than once a month.  Now my periods start on maybe a Thursday or Friday and it ends that Sunday.  Before, my periods were real heavy, like unbearable and now I hardly know they're there.  I don't know about the acne part, I haven't noticed a bad or good change, it's pretty much the same.  Also, I'm not pregnant so this is good.

Cyclessa seems like a pretty reliable pill so far, I would recommend it."


"Well, I just spent 24 hours doubled over in pain after taking my first dose of Junel Fe 1/20.  Never again- I'm done!!

I used birth control for 3 years without a problem, having stopped about 5 years ago.  I decided to start again after my boyfriend moved in with me.  My gynocologist prescribed this low dose pill because I expressed an interest in having as few side effects as possible.

I took my first one yesterday at 4pm, and was having extremely bad cramps by 5:30pm.  They became progressively worse.  I woke up at 2am and 4am to vomit.  I have felt dehydrated and dizzy all day.  I seriously could not even keep water down.  Now that its been 24 hours, I've finally been able to swallow a few sips of water.  So long Junel Fe!  1 and done."


"I am a two time testicular cancer survivor. My body no longer produces testosterone. I am 30 years old and this will be for the rest of my life. I was on Andro gel for about 2 and a half years. The last I would say 8 months I felt like complete crap. Depression and always tired and lethargic. Didn't feel like doing anything. No motivation for anything. I just had my second round of testopel about a week and a half ago and I love it. The first time I got it I felt the difference within the first week. Same with this second go round. I have more energy. The only problem I have, is that on both times my incision site leaks and one pellet did fall out. Other than that I love this stuff."


"Symbicort worked for about a year. Then one day as I got to work I could not see very well from my left eye. I went to the eye doctor only to be told that my retina had fluid in it. After answering all the questions the conclusion was that the steroids in the medication was affecting my vision. Moreover, my wrist joint and back started to hurt often. My family physician recommended other drugs but I decided to stop all my medications an go on a whole food diet. I must say it has been six weeks and I don't need the inhaler, my joint pains are gone and my vision is getting back to normal. It was a blessing to have the drug but I felt that I made a pact with the devil since it almost destroy the rest of my body."


"I switched recently to this medicine from Latuda due to akathisia and lack of effectiveness. It has work wonders on my mood. It has paired up with Zoloft to make a solid team of an antidepressant/mood stabilizer combination. I feel like I can do much more now, my sociability has increased, even my anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder have been helped by it! My experience on this medicine has been better overall in the past month I've been on it than the two years I was on Latuda. The only negative side effect so far is sexual side effects."


"My doctor prescribed for menopausal insomnia, it has helped me tremendously, I am finally sleeping thru the night.  Give it a chance, everyone reacts different to medications.  For me its great."


"After a bad accident, I have been having awful insomnia. My doctor recommended Trazodone for my insomnia. He also insisted that it may help me with my serve depression. So I was prescribe Trazodone 50 mg.

Despite positive reviews on this sleep aid, I had a horrible experience on Trazodone. I only took Trazodone for one night and stopped all together with Trazodone. I don't personally recommend this. It was literally the worst trip ever. I felt like I was in a horror film with Freddy Krueger. I could not sleep. My head was spinning out of control. I am so surprised I did not shit in my pants. I was so exhausted and paranoid that night. I felt worse the next day, my heart and head was racing and I was irritable. I switched over to Melatonin."


"I have tried so many acne medications, and this one was like every other one that didn't work. I believe that Aczone permanently damaged my skin. I have an olive skin tone and I would rarely get burned. After using this medication my whole body, not just my face, is now extremely sensitive to the sun. If I am outside for about 15 minutes without sunscreen I will burn. The best thing that I did for my acne was to get on birth control and get enough sleep."


"Horrible!!!!!!!! I tried 10mg for 2 days over the weekend and stayed awake they most if it I took it 39 minutes before bedtime as directed 7:30pm and 11:00pm I was wide awake I am so upset I had to purchase over the counter unisom to get a nights rest on Sunday in fear of starting the work week dead tired since I didn't get any rest this weekend now I have to go back to my doctor and see what he suggests I had to get prior authorizations to get approval from my insurance company for this waste of time extremely disappointed DO NOT waste your or your doctors time read the other reviews most DO NOT have good experiences with this medication your better costly and sleep with generic Ambein"


"I'm a 54 yo woman, 5' 4". 155lbs at start. I am in awe. Been on Belviq for 11 days. First time ever that I feel completely confident that I won't binge or overeat. I have NO side effects, eating 3 meals a day, no desire to over eat....feel full after small meal.  Its a complete miracle for me so far.  I could so this forever! Not sure how it is working but I love it!  Trust that I can even eat a forbidden food in small amount. Its the BEST! "


"I am 25 and have been taking 7.5/500 Percocet since I was 15 (10 years) and it used to work VERY well but its super easy to build up a tolerance and you have to wait a few weeks for it to go down so they also just started giving me 100mg of Demerol which is FANTASTIC. I have IGA NEPHROPATHY, and NIFRIDAS, and CALCUIM KIDNEY STONES and will have to live with pain the rest of my life and it is very hard to find a doctor who will prescribe to someone my age who is really suffering."


"My recommendation - if you have a panic disorder, get on situational meds like klonopin or xanax. This may not be a wise decision if you have an addiction problem/addictive personality, but klonopin saved my life. Before klonopin, though, I took zoloft. Zoloft made me incredibly sick and very depressed. I have never had depression, only the panic disorder. Situational meds reminded me what it felt like to be normal, and after awhile I was able to mimic that normalcy on my own."


"Lotronex was the answer to helping my IBS and making it possible to have a life out of the bathroom!  I do not understand why companies make a drug and then make it so expensive that very few can purchase it."


"I'm very sensitive to any type of meds and it was like jumping of a cliff for me do or die . Diagnosed in 97 , hadn't had insurance til 2015 , I was denied the first time for coverage after year I was able to start . Being sensitive to meds I drank alot of water and followed direction strictly. I feel great 6 weeks into 8 of the course . My doc did not test at 4 weeks and is not testing til Dec .... Uggggh I know ! Why so long , I started early Aug .... And I won't find any results out til Feb. Anybody else run into this ?????? What should I do?"


"I get sweaty and I sweat right through that stuff"


"Xyzal has helped keep the chronic sinus infections away while on a biologic for an autoimmune disorder! That's a miracle! I love xyzal. Some days I get sleepy so I take it @ night. Now if I can just get the autoimmune symptoms to go away id be kicking booty! Love xyzal for allergies!"


"I haven't seen many people on here comment with using it for over 2 weeks. The first few weeks it worked for me too. Thought it was amazing. I've now been using it for 6 months hoping it just needs time. Nope NOTHING. I have mild/moderate acne. I'm 24. I still get cystic acne. Especially on my period. I get whiteheads, ones under my skin, black heads, YOU NAME IT. I still get it. The only time my skin is clear is the week before I get my period. "


"Due to a painful disability the only way to sleep is with the use of Ambien. I give Ambien a two thumbs up, AAA   , it works terrific for me."


"This medication did not help me. I took it the first time today and after a few hours waves of nausea came over me and I've been sick 5 times in the past few hours. I also seem to be clenching my jaw very tight and shaking. I will not be continuing this medication."


"I never write reviews on anything but I am a 35 year old male and was diagnosed with blood cancer about 13 months ago and with this type of cancer I have comes the most horrific pain imaginable!! Imagine if every bone in your body is broke and there is razor blades running threw your veins all the while people are prying at every joint on your body with crow bars that have been heated up to almost melting and you start to come close !! I have been prescribed every pain medication under the sun to deal with this and nothing seems to help until my Dr put me on the Belbuca 300 mcg !!! I would just like to say thank you for giving my life back!!!"


"I'm on my 2nd month of taking Loestrin 24. I went to my doctor 2 months ago because I had not had a period during the 5 months prior to the visit. She prescribed to me from what I can recall oxyprogesterone, she told me it should start my period within 2-3 days. It didn't come until 2 weeks later so then I finally started taking Loestrin 24. That WHOLE first month I bled, some days it was just average bleeding, some light, and just a handful of days bad cramping and heavy. Now being on my 2nd month of this pill I'm on the 3rd week row of the pill pack and I'm already starting my period early. The only side effects I've noticed from taking this pill is my breasts have grown half a cup size, no nausea or weight gain so far."


"I'm 17 and I've been on this pill for a month now. I starting taking in to help with horrible period and it made them feel worse. I've been on my period for a week and am having horrible cramps, gained weight and am breaking out on my chin and around my mouth. "


"I have been taking this medicine now for 3 days, however I still suffer the dizziness and have noticed it makes me sleepy, and I don't know if this is a side affect or not but I have very irritable since starting it. I'm not going to be able to take it due to working with clients all day and on the computer. My mind is so foggy."


"I started taking this medication at 0.5 mg. and thought I was okay, had to get dose upped to 1.0 mg. to sleep, but what has been happening, I cry all the time, am angry and sad.  I cry most of the day, everyday!  I am having what a doctor called PTSD from seeing my mom pass 2 years ago and am dealing with anger issues there still, but now all I do is cry!!!!!!!  Does anyone else feel this?  I feel so alone!!!!

Rose"


"I would suggest botox treatment for migraine as the best choice. I had severe headaches and  doctor after diagnosing said that it is because of migraine.Took too many capsules for instant reliefs. But I couldn't see any changes in my situation. Parents were very much worried regarding the high dose capsule intake. Cousin suggested me to go for a therapeutic botox at Brampton. It brought wonderful changes to my life. Now I am totally free from my migraine problem."


"I had chronic hives for over 10 years, frequent and fairly severe. Cold helped to reduce the symptoms, but nothing reduced the frequency.  When I started taking loratadine for unrelated allergies I was very pleased to find that the hives went away, for the most part.  Every now and then I will have a few, but not all that often and not as severe. This stuff works for me. Yeah!"


"Yeast infections suck. Monistat 7 burns and makes the itch worse, but it definitely cures the infection. Benadryl knocks out the itching and burning from the Monistat. Still better than losing a day to the doctor's office for an RX & paying those copays."


"Lower back pain: not helpful"


"I saw opioids taking over my life, and figured I had two options: continue using and wind up dead or imprisoned, or get help.

Suboxone was the help I got. My cravings to get high on anything keep going down and down. Now, I barely remember why I started doing all these in the first place.

So why the 6 out of 10? It constipates me way worse than any other opioid has. That means lots of fiber, stool softeners and Activia for me. I dislike the orange taste and the way the strips numb my taste buds. I also wish it was scored, so you could accurately measure out half doses. "


"I'm currently on a mood swing so forgive me. Although I've just started this pill 3 weeks ago. Every other day I cry for no reason. Then I get angry and mad and just lose my appetite. And sick to my stomach. I feel bloated daily and just annoyed. I have my good days. I was so much more happy though before the pill. And the only great thing is my breasts grew like 2 sizes haha. Other than that I'm making an appointment tomorrow. I'm fed up with these strange mood swings."


"Started this 4 days ago.

So far so good!!

No symptoms "


"I have sacroilitis on my left side, there a bunch of stuff going on in my back that boils down to narrowing of my canal so there's contact at L5 and S1 nerve roots.  I'm 37 years old.  The pain started out of the blue upon waking one morning, mid-Nov '14.

I'm grateful for this medication because it makes life bearable.  I'm able to get in my car.  Before this med, I often times had to lift my leg in because it hurt so much.  I can grocery shop for 20-30 mins and not feel so bad making my husband do everything.  I can cook!

My only gripe is that it only seems to work for 5 days."


"With every online review you have to take with a grain of salt. Everyones bodies are different. I was prescribed with tri-sprintec when I was 15 and have been using it for the last 5 years. I rarely had any skin problems, besides the monthly pop-ups everyone gets. Stress, food, genetics and physical health are contributors to breaking out too. I didn't gain any weight, I didn't get sick (unless I took it on an empty stomach), and for being sexually active for a few years, with this pill I haven't gotten pregnant. There are several reviews out there that are horrible, but my experience has been a good one. I am sorry for those who experiences otherwise but don't let all the negativity deter you from choosing something that could be good for you."


"I was diagnosed Thursday with Flu B the symptoms started the night before. The Dr said I would be 150% better 24 hours later. It is now Sunday and while I have managed to keep everything dosage in, it has been a struggle!! I did have a flu shot so between the shot and the tamiflu I thought I would be better off. I have not left my bed except to go to the bathroom as moving my head makes me feel like I have to vomit. I am not sure if I could say this nausea and dizziness is from the flu or tamiflu but I am afraid at this point it may be making me more sick than I would be otherwise."


"Initially I thought it was the miracle drug. Then 7 months after I started using it I started to have unusual back pain and sensitivity to my spine and numbness and tingling to the bottom of my feet. I took the ring out and started to have immediate relief and 2 days later my back pain was totally gone."


"The Chantix program worked for me. I am 53 and was a one pack a day cigarette smoker. In August I asked my doctor for some ideas to quit and he prescribed the Chantix. I took it for five weeks and continued to smoke during the first of those weeks. It really helped suppress any urges and withdrawal pains. Also, I encountered no side effects. I was able to go about my business as usual. At the end of five weeks I felt like I could discontinue this so I did without feeling any need to smoke again. I've now been off of Chantix for three weeks and smoke-free for seven weeks. I'm glad I was able to quit and I'm confident that I'll never pick up cigarettes again."


"I started the meds on Oct.10 and I had severe nausea and fatigued for the first 2 weeks. I'm only on week 3 but I have gained 2lbs. I exercise regardless, but I have read some reviews from ppl who say..wait until week 4 to see results.. I'm praying because I have thyroid which cause you to be fatigued more than the average person already so this med added to that.. I'm going to continue to take all of it.. I will respond again once I finish this first round

Hopeful"


"I was having trouble keeping an erection at age of 41. Then my doctor gave me a sample pack of 40mg Cialis.  Lets just say I made my girlfriend very happy.  The only problem is my insurance does not cover it so I pay out of pocket.  "


"To all of you freaking out right now try to relax. Just like many others I was really scared that I got my girlfriend pregnant after we had unprotected sex. She took the pill about 26 hours after the incident, her period came on time and she didn't have any major side effects. The pill works!"


"I've had this BC for almost 2 years! And need less to say I've been on my period ever since I got it. If it's not a heavy flow, it's spotting. I either have to wear tampons or panty liners everyday! Planning on getting it removed asap!"


"The idea of taking it is worse than actually taking it. Used Moviprep in split dosing (4pm then 2 am) to prepare for colonoscopy this morning.  The reviews here helped, so thanks! I followed the suggestion to add crystal light to the mix and it worked great. I recommend 3 lemonade packets for each litre. Drinking the mixture cold in a covered cup with a straw worked well. I didn't find it to be nearly as unpleasant as some of the other reviewers. I ate broth based soups 2 days out and had only clear liquids the day before the procedure when I started taking the mixture. It started working about 1.5 hours after my first sip."


"I've been on this pill for about 4 months now and at first it was great, it cleared up my acne and everything went fine, then I accidentally missed a pill and since then my face has been all full of acne."


"I have been on 50mg of Zoloft for a little over 3 weeks now. For the first week I noticed no change then gradually I was feeling better. It has given me more energy and i feel I have a more positive attitude. I was overeating a lot due to stress and depression that has completely subsided. Since I started taking it I have lost 19 pounds. That has also really helped with my depression. I am scared of my body getting used to it and go back to my regular habits. As for now I am happy."


"I got injured at work from my upper back part, affortunally it was a mucle spam, the pain make me felt on the floor but after dr. Seen me he prescribed me  hydrocodone/acetaminophen and it really works, the pain was there but not strong like the first day every time I miss a dosis pain came back but it disappear after every dose. They work very good."


"Took one pill around 11:30 at night just to try it out because I have never taken a laxative before. Then I decided to read the reviews on this website and was horrified for what was about to come. I took two ibuprofen just in case and finally got to bed around 3. It woke me up at 5 in the morning and did its job just fine in about a half an hour and I then I woke back up at around 11am and it did it again with no pain. This worked for me!"


"Had a colonoscopy yesterday and the consultant was very impressed by how well this had worked on me!

I found it tolerable to take. The first few mouthfuls are a struggle and I could not work out if it was because of the lemon smell or the taste so I tried drinking the next glass holding my nose - IMO it is definitely the salty taste that makes it hard to get down. Best advice is to drink it as fast as possible so it doesn't register so much on your tastebuds. Once it is down the lemon smell after-note is not so bad!
Things really start to move quickly and dry toilet paper stings after a while. Use some sort of cream to alleviate it. It dehydrates too so drink water because a catheter vein (anaesthetic) is harder to find when dehydrated!"


"Completely helped me with pain from endometriosis."


"prevacid has worked great for me, the other ones do not help, so I stick to prevacid only."


"Ok I'm here to ease all of your minds! I had stupid drunk sex at 2 am the day of my ovulation, and took plan b 10 hours after. The condom may have broke, so I wanted to be careful (I am not on birth control) I freaked out for the first week because I had read all these reviews where plan b isn't useful if you take it on the day of your ovulation and was so afraid I'd be pregnant...throughout the two weeks I experienced like NO symptoms. The first day of taking it I was barely bloated. About a week and a half after, my boobs started to hurt and this morning I had bad back cramps but Anyway I am NOT PREGNANT! just please breathe, this pill works!"


"I had such a bad cough, with a cold, that I felt like I was going to vomit. Continual coughing attacks kept me awake at night. Got this medication, Hydromet, and my cough stopped within 5 minutes. This is a great cough medication. No problems with side effects."


"The 1st application of Xelogel burned so badly I couldn't help making pain-filled noises. What I really wanted to do was scream. I wish my Dr. had warned me. But my rash improved and each day it hurt less to apply the gel. It was amazing to see how quickly the rash disappeared."


"I have been on this medication a month and I have lost 11 lbs. With the appropriate diet and exercise this medication is wonderful. At first it did give me the gitters and a mild headache but after a few days its just fine. It controls my appetite and I have to remind myself to eat alot of the time. I also take Topamax at night time as part of my weight lost plan. I highly recommend this medication."


"I am on day 7 and I am still congested.  While the congestion is not as bad as it was it is still bad.  I'm not impressed. I have never had an antibiotic take so long to work. Reading now some of the side effects I at least now know what was causing the crazy dreams."


"In the past four yours , my disease has progressed . I have been able to control my pain with hydrocodone. Recently started getting Watson 853 . The pain has returned , now stomach upset and headache . Plus tired all the time . I take 2 10 mg 325 . Now I feel I have to take more . I have read on other sites that Watson was bought by another company . What did they do ? Please let us consumers and chronic pain patients the respect we deserve , and tell the truth . We're not crazy , you changed the active binding ingredients . Was this to save money ? Well I'd rather stop purchasing this placebo and deal with my pain. I just hope that no one dies by taking to much . Because I've read how patients are over medicating to get relieve ."


"Once getting on adderall I found it gave me just enough euphoria to put down everything from alcohol to opiates, while giving me the drive and ambition to seek an engineering degree. I must warn people adderall is a stimulant, it's out of your body rather quickly (1-2 days) so addiction in the "physical withdrawal" sense is not much, although years of taking it will keep you relying on it -that's a PROMISE. Depending on the dosage you'll be severely lethargic and wind up sleeping a few days. Beware of the day's end, you'll likely need something to sleep, or relax which can cause problems. Despite the caution, you'll be a morning person and love it, just remember the word "moderation" and you'll be a new you!"


"Works great for me.  After two children I use Zarah as birth control and after endometriosis and multiple ovarian cysts I appreciate the positive effects of this medicine.  Decreases my horrid mood swings, decreases my cramps and decreases noticeable ovarian cysts.  Give it at least 1 month, you may like it.  I do have a bit more weight gain with this."


"Easy quick to use, expensive but the best product available.  All insurance companies do not cover it which is very unfortunate."


"I've been taking saw palmetto for 16 years. I started with Nature's Sunshine (the very best) but now take Swanson just because it is cheaper. It works for me as well, despite the negative reviews. I take two capsules with breakfast and two capsules late in the evening with a snack. It does wonders for urinary stream size and for diminishing the feeling that you need to urinate. From experience, and from research, I can vouch that it does four other things as well. 1) It increases circulation, and like all herbs that increase circulation, it does thin the blood slightly so do not take it if you are on a blood thinner unless the doctor gives you permission to take saw palmetto and less blood thinner. 2) It is a diuretic. 3) It helps prevent baldness by hindering testosterone from turning into dihydrotestosterone. 4) Believe it or not, it also helps with sleep. "


"I have been on the nexplanon going on 2 years now. I've only had 1 actual period and have spotted at least 3-4 times. This month August 2015, I have spotted once on the 4th of this month lasted for 5 days and now I am spotting again, 13th of this month. This is the first time this has happened since I have been on this birth control. I have gained quite a bit of weight since I've been on the birth control. My mood swings have gotten a lot worse and I'm always tired and don't have the energy to do anything. I always have this bloating feeling. Good thing is I have not gotten pregnant since I've been on this birth control."


"I have been on birth control for 16 years now, Chateal for the past 6 months. This is the first pill that has actually lessened my bleeding and period pain. I have always had excessive bleeding and cramps (to the point I couldn't leave the house), this pill has changed all of that! I have PCOS and hypothyroidism, since taking this pill I have actually been able to lose 10 pounds. I would have given it 10/10 but I have been super emotional and cry a bit more than usual (commercials are the worst). No acne, no weight gain, no excessive bleeding, no cramps, no hair loss (as many reported), and the big one: I'm not pregnant!"


"Every persons body is different, but I have had a HORRIBLE experience with this medicine. I switched from Lo-Estrin 24 FE to Tri-Sprintec because of the dramatic price difference, but immediately switched back after three days of feeling like I was dying. Horrible headaches, extreme nausea, black outs, and I was even randomly losing my vision. Like I said everyone is different, so you won't know until you try, but if your body is accustomed to lower doses of hormones and you switch to something higher, it isn't a good result."


"Took Benicar for 3 days. Had tightness in chest, ill feeling. Doctor switched me to Diovan HCT generic. Tightness went away and I coughed up some phlegm that was built up while taking Benicar. I am now fine after being switched to Diovan HCT Generic. Additional benefit - Benicar wasn't covered by insurance. It cost $130 per month. Diovan HCT generic by Sandoz cost me $4.00 per month with my insurance. And since Sandoz belongs to the maker of Diovan HCT. It is the same formula."


"I was put on Klonaphin and Xanax for anxiety and depersonalization when i was 16. A doctor switched me from klonaphin to lexapro without any wearing. I have horrible withdrawl from the klonaphin and almost gave up on the lexapro cause i thought it was giving me these side effects. After just a few weeks i felt great! I didnt even notice until one day i sat and thought "hey im happy and i feel great!" 5 years later some anxiety and ocd is peaking threw. Dont be discouraged. This medicine isnt a cure-all but it works wonders. Give it a chance."


"Taking for pain in my right shoulder."


"I have had a weight loss surgery called Duodenal Switch which requires antibiotics periodically for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Xifaxan is the only thing that works for me months until another flare. I thank God my GI prescribed it. "


"I was prescribed this to help with my severe anxiety and in hopes it would also help my chronic pain.
I think I'm allergic to it because in 2 hours of taking it I got a stabbing pain in my head and the light made my eyes burn. I could barely even say this to a doctor because along with barely being able to string two words together I had intense nausea with cramping and it wasn't until the ER had the lights around me dimmed enough for me to try and open my eyes I realized my face was pretty swollen."


"I am an adult with ADD. I took Strattera according to my doctors recommendations, starting with 25mg and upping the dosage to 80mg gradually for 6 weeks. I noticed nausea almost immediately after I started taking the medicine along with unusual bouts of tiredness. I continued with the plan as I was told some of the initial side effects would ease as my body became accustomed. The side effects began to get worse, with frequent sweats, occasional sore throat, EXTREME tiredness, and the worst constipation I have ever had. I will say that my ability to stay focused was improved dramatically, but the side effects made it impossible to stay on the medicine."


"Accutane is the best drug for acne out there today. My experience with it was amazing. I had severe acne all over my face and within a month most of my acne was gone. I would recommend this drug to anyone suffering bad acne."


"Started taking May 5, 2015 with pm pill first.. Slight headache ( but not enough for me to take anything for it), stool softer (sorry want to be honest), and dry mouth for first two days only. Today is May 9 and down 4pds...remaining side effects just dry mouth!!!!..but I can live with that we all need to drink lots of water anyways .

42 year old female started 217 pounds, 5.8""


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


"Diabetes, thoughts of self-destruction , compulsive behavior,no energy, etc"


"I had gone through a two year period of Atrial Fibrillation almost constantly.  I had two ablations.  I was loading up on Tikosyn when I started going in and out of Normal Sinus.  After the second dose I converted.  Prior to Tikosyn I had been Cardioverted, with paddles, over 30 times.  In the two and a half years since I've been on Tikosyn I've needed that procedure once.  Only complaint is how dangerous it can be if you take it too soon after last dose."


"Incredible.  I was on Adderall for over a year.  My doctor switched me to Vyvanse four days ago.  Since day one, I have felt better than ever.  That "nervous-jittery feeling" (perfect description) as well as anxiety and teeth-grinding that I had while on Adderall is totally gone.  I feel "normal". I am able to concentrate and focus calmly, and am no longer plagued by excessive energy.  I feel healthy, and everyone around me has noticed the positive difference in such a short amount of time."


"I hated the nexplanon. I had periods every 2 months or so which was fine but I felt like I was pregnant all the time. I had cramps, sore breasts, and my acne was awful when I have naturally clear skin. I was starting to get depression and my moods swings were so intense. It was starting to take a toll on my relationship with my mood swings/ anxiety/ and periods of depression so I got it out to see if that was the issue. I got it out and months later I feel like I finally have control of myself. I don't feel like I have whiplash from my moods, my libido is back, and my skin is clear again. I'm very happy with my decision to get it out and be hormone free for a while."


"works well for my itchy skin and rhinitis. I take it daily and will continue."


"It works but it affects my ejaculation during sex. I've been taking it for a while. It depends on how old you are for that not to matter."


"I was prescribed Lexapro for Depression, 10mg/day. I have been suffering from depression for nearly 2 years now, and I finally forced myself to seek medical help. I'm only on day 3, but I can honestly notice a slight positive change already. Day 1 & 2 have been a bit difficult; uncontrollable yawning, fatigued and a bit nauseated. But today, day 3, it feels like a light switched on in my brain! That light is at the end of the tunnel, meaning I have to give a little more time. If you are truly depressed, this medicine will help you."


"I did not like Generess.  It made my periods very regular (but heavy) and did prevent pregnancy well, but it made me breakout like crazy and gain weight.  I've never had a real acne problem until I got on this pill at 20.  I've been on it for 4 months and have has non-stop cystic acne.  This acne has been not only on my face, but also on my neck, chest, back, and butt.  This pill also made me gain 8 lbs, and I have not changed eating habits at all.  This pill has also caused me to have ridiculous mood swings and be a cranky, moody, slightly bitchy person.  Would not recommend"


"I had a hemorrhoid and was looking for something to ease the strain so I could give it time to heal. I was pretty desperate and ran across this product. I took 3 pills hoping it would work quickly. After I took the three pills I ran across this site and began to stress out with all the bad reviews. It was to late at this point and I prepared for the bad side effects, although I did take the advice of many here and drank a ton of water the first few hours. At about hour six, eight, and ten, it sent me to the bathroom. I had no side effects at all. No cramps other than nature telling me time to go, and then cramps gone as soon as I used the bathroom. I believe plenty of water is the key"


"So far Belviq is AMAZING. I did the 15 day trial offer. I started the medication on Feb 10, 2014. My starting weight was 252lbs. Today is Feb 25th, 2014. The 15th day, end of trial and I weigh 234lbs! That is 18lbs dropped in 15 days. I've changed my eating habits, drink plenty of water, I am not exercising too much around 3x a week by walking.
I have experienced no side effects whatsoever. My appetite is truly decreased, I do eat healthy but not big portions like I used to and I get full pretty quickly. Going to pick up the rest of the medication at the pharmacy. I have to pay out of pocket for the rest of the medication but it is truly worth it!"


"Spiriva has been a miracle for me.  Yes there is some hoarseness, sinus issues and difficulty urinating, but for me the benefits far outweigh the side-effects.  The inhalers did nothing for my COPD - Spiriva made a HUGE difference in my ability to take in air.  My illness is more emphysema type of COPD.  I love it - 2 days without it and I can tell a huge difference. With Spiriva I can breathe again."


"Its been 12 hours and my eyes are so much worse now than a day ago. The pus is coming out so fast I can't keep my vision clear. The watering of the eyes is terrible my skin around the outside corners of the eyes and under burn like road rash with alcohol poured over it. Almost feel like going to the emergency room for relief cause its just getting harder and harder to tolerate. I rated it at its current level of help and relief so if it improves I will bookmark and come back to edit."


"Just met the most amazing man that is taking this medication to stop smoking. He's been nervous about sexual side effects as a result of using this. Good news - since getting together, even via text or Skype we discovered he doesn't need it.....just talking turns him on. Touching me will eliminate and and all need for any type of medication without doubt!! Sorry burproin but we're OK...actually fantastic"


"Hypercare has seriously changed my life. I am a whole new person now. I have suffered from severe sweating for about 8 years. I'm only 20 and what a waste of time by not doing anything about it until now. I received the prescription from my dermatologist and when I got the bottle and applied it at night, the next day I did not sweat at all. Talk about a miracle. It's true you can't really tell if the liquid is coming out of the bottle but with the right lighting and angle of the armpit you can tell if liquid is wetting your skin. I don't even have to use it every night anymore. I totally love it."


"I started the depo shot back in April of 2015 because my MD recommended I should, since he noticed my periods where the leading cause of my sickle cell crisis that would lead me in hospital stays for weeks ever since I had my son. My periods are gone and so is most of my sickle cell crisis, I've lost weight and a partial part of my sex drive. I'm ok with both, staying fit and managing my weight is a plus for me besides the fact that I'm no longer living at a hospital which is what I used to call my home away from home. My sex drive being affected, I'm ok living with that too, as my health comes first for both my child and myself."


"Ambien has helped me tremendously over the past couple years.  I go to sleep instantly and do not wake up at all during the night.  I also feel absolutely great in the morning.  No hangover or anything."


"Hello eveyone I am a 31 year old female 198 was my starting weight on October 27,2016, 6 days later I'm down 11 pounds! I gave up coca cola drinking lots of water and eating smaller portions!!"


"I've used a lot of different products for many years but unfortunately didn't really work and I'm frustrated and gave up myself. And now my primary Doctor recommended me this Tri Luma and just for 3 weeks it really looks amazing. Very satisfied! This is really true!"


"Very good drug for my pain management. Causes slight drowsiness. Highly reccomended if your doctor will prescribe."


"I started adipex-p on October 17th 2015... My start weight was 189... I had gained 16 lbs prior to that due to another medication I was on... My doctor recommended trying this because I was completely devastated! I've never weighed that much and had always maintained my weight even after having my 2 children... However the same time I started adipex-p I started doing Herbalife shakes (breakfast and lunch) and then ate dinner with my family.. I also got somewhat of a work out in daily due to working at Planet Fitness and can easily walk 10,000   steps daily due to my job description... In 1 month I lost 22 lbs! :-)"


"I just got my skyla inserted on Monday (5 days ago). The insertion was pretty painful and more awkward than a normal pap. At insertion my pain level went to about a 9 I got super hot and nauseous but it went away in less than a minute. I laid there for a few walked out an drove back to work (i had it done on my lunch break). All week I've had severe cramps but it like a bad period when it first came. I'm using a heating pad and it really helps. I haven't had this for long but I'm hopeful it all turns out fine. My BC pills were $100 a month and my high deductible insurance helped none. I have about a week before I can get of the pill (it takes two weeks for Skyla to be effective)."


"My very first time to try this medication . I thought I was gonna die ! I took it last night at 7:00pm  went to bed by 10:00 pm and I was fine. I woke up at 6:00am and I went straight to the bathroom had a bad diarrhea plus vomiting . Had to drive to work with major diziziness. And had no appetite at all. I felt so weak. I was thinking maybe it needs more time and to be more patient. Till around mid day today I had to leave work because I was so nauseous that I can't function. I called my doc and she told me to stop taking it! This medication is definitely not for me. I've tried a lot of anti depressants like this one !!!! "


"I started taking lexapro 2 years ago. I have always had bad nerves , but when my daughter graduated high school, I was suffering from the "empty nest syndrome". Lexapro really helped me alot and the only fall back for me was my weight gain. I went from size 10 to 16 . I am going off from the medicine now and I think that I will do okay and if I ever have to go back on something it would be this. Good Luck!"


"I was not diagnosed with Bipolar disorder when Cymbalta was prescribed to me.  While taking Cymbalta, I was more irritable and manic. If I were only depressed and not Bipolar, I think it would have been O.K."


"Been on adderall for about 4 yrs total. I started on 20mg XR, which I thought lasted too long and I couldn't sleep at night. So I got switched to 20mg IR tablets for 3 yrs. My tolerance has grown since so I recently bumped up to 30mg IR tablets.

As a person suffering from ADHD, adderall was a life saver. I was struggling in school, could not focus at work, my room/car was a total mess, I could barely hold a conversation. Since getting on adderall none of those things are an issue. It has helped me greatly in being able to function in everyday life. It's increased motivation significantly.

My only complaint about it is the duration, IR is too short & XR is too long. Also tolerance develops quickly, I can easily handle about 40-50mg at once"


"Truly a miracle pill! Starting have severe anxiety attacks out of nowhere (heart palpation, numbness in arms and legs, dizzy, tremors) and with 15 to 20 mins I feel normal again! I would advise to only take when desperately need to because I can see how they can become addictive! I take .5mg but will start to cut that in half a lower dosage is always better if it works. I have only been taking for one week, so far so good, and no side effects to report."


"I took Neurontin (Gabapentin) for three months as a treatment for chronic pain following a herniated lumbar disc a year and a half ago.  Anti-inflammatories and other medicines such as Oxycodone, Tramadol, etc. had minimal effect.

After increasing my dosage over the course of three weeks, Neurontin completely eliminated the pain.  However, I gained weight rapidly (nearly 20 pounds in 2 months), retained a tremendous amount of water, to the point where my jewelry wouldn't fit and my shoes were very tight, and the constipation was awful and even laxatives didn't help.  Also, I was fatigued all the time.  Unfortunately, the side effects were just too much for me.  I still haven't found a good replacement medicine for the pain.  All the side effects!"


"I'm a Brazilian boy, 21yrs old and i suffer from mild depression and GAD.

Effexor was the holy grail for my HUGE anxiety, unfortunely it came along with sexual problems.

My doc said Luvox had a lower chance of having these kind of side effects. Its been a month since I switched to it and i felt nothing but a 70% return in my anxiety using half of the maximum daily dosage.

Still cant ejaculate neither have the same libido as i used to."


"Took this for depression and bipolar, made my mood plummet to the point feeling absolutely nothing inside. Can't move, watch tv no enjoyment from anything. Horrendous medication."


"After suffering from persistent acne for 7 years I asked my gp to refer me to dermatology (after trying everything from my docs). I first went in Oct 2014 and was put on doxycycline. Not sure why as I already tried this from my Gp but the dermatologist was adamant not to put me on roaccutane as I have suffered with depression for years! Had my review 2 week ago and I seen a new dermatologist as the previous one had left (thank god!) she wanted to put me on roaccutane with no hesitations. Had my blood test done 20 minutes later then picked my prescription up the next day :) soooo happy already! I'm already seeing results and I'm just about going into my second week. My face is so much clearer. I would recommend this treatment up to now x"


"I've been using Minocycline for acne breakouts. I use it for four or five days every other month (which is my usual breakout pattern).

The medication is very effective, but I worry about using it too often because of the possible side effect of tooth discoloration."


"This product worked well for my post nasal drip. But I felt extreme pressure in my sinuses, especially in my ears. I had terrible dry mouth which created a horrible sore throat. Not to mention I took it at night and I got terrible insomnia. I felt jittery and just absolutely horrible. I wish I read these reviews before taking it! No more Claritin D for me. Stick with the regular Claritin."


"I had been off of medication for a while, recently went to a doctor for ADHD to get meds again -- was given a script for Adzenys XR-ODT, I have had experiences with Adderall in the past while sampling medication with my previous doctor and found success. This medication at the equivalent dosage of 20mg did little to nothing for me for the first few days and eventually, nothing at all."


"This is the best medication I've taken for a mood stabilizer.  It takes about 3 months to work at peak, but the benefits have been amazing. While some medications seem to drag you to feeling better,  this one just nudges me. I feel as if My Real personality can show through. I'm stable and thinking more rationaly, without losing the ability to feel my emotions. Plus, I lost a few pounds."


"My 6 year old daughter was feeling sick. We went to Nextcare. We told the doctor she had been feeling bad for 3 or 4 days. He prescribed Tamiflu even though it says not take it to unless you have been experiencing symptoms for less than 2 days. $200 later she is worse than I have ever seen her. Watch out ,big pharmaceutical doesn't care."


"Suffering from a back injury from 2001. Over a couple of years nerve damage on left side started. Surgery done L4 and L3 was removed and replaced with an artificial substance. Cage over spine with 4 screws. Limited back movement.I'm in constant pain always. Last meds on was Oxycontin and percocet for break through. Put on Zohydro ER, 30 mg. It's not working.its only been about 3weeks.Asking Doc to put me back on previous meds. It was job related injury."


"I don't think it works all that great. I don't feel any side effects."


"I never write reviews but I decided to share my experience with everyone on this birth control. I was so freaked out when I got this birth control because I saw all of these horrible reviews, depression, weight gain etc. I have had nothing but an amazing experience on this. I have been happier, my weight is finally staying in one range and not fluctuating, I even lost a few pounds (nothing serious but it did not make me gain). It has really been amazing and I think that if the reviews scare you, just try it. You can always switch. I was terrified but everyone has a different body and reacts differently. You never know, this might be the best thing for you."


"My Dr. prescribed me flagyl 500mg for 4 days, once a day. Before I take any meds i do a research on them to know what to expect or whats not normal, but honestly I have to stop doing this!! I read all this awful symptoms all of you or most of you were going through and I almost give up on the pill before even starting! BUt then I realize each women has a different experience, and so far the only symptom is the metallic taste in my mouth and a little dry my mouth also. I'm hoping this is the last med I have to take and go back to healthy vagina because I've being MONTHS at this, between BV or Yeast infections and its driving me INSANE. Before this pills, I used metrogel for 7days. Either it didn't work, or now I have YI. Good luck to you all!"


"Had I seen this blog years ago I would have given the depo shot a 10+ rating. I loved it! I tried a few other BC methods prior to getting depo years ago and didn't care for any of them. Finally when I first found depo I loved it. No periods, no side effects. Everything was great. I too a break from depo for about 3 months and then when I got my first injection again (about 1 and a half months ago) everything went down hill. I got it while I was on my period and then 3 days later I stopped bleeding then about 2 weeks after I started spotting which lasted a week, now it's been almost 3 and a half weeks and I'm still bleeding I'm constantly tired because of the lack of iron from bleeding for so long.  I won't be getting the second injection!"


"Pretty decent anti-anxiety medicine."


"As someone who had a terrible experience with other forms of birth control, I can't recommend NuvaRing highly enough! I have zero side effects on NuvaRing and can't feel it other than sometimes during sex (when we can just toss it aside for a bit). I love only getting my (now very mild) period every 5 weeks, and so far so good with preventing pregnancy. The only downside is that it is quite expensive! "


"I'm a young male 26 years old.  Was a casual smoker for 7 years. Started very young at 16. Became a pack a day smoker for 3  years.  So more than 10 years of smoking.  Other reviewers are spot on about insane irritation/itching when patch is first applied to skin. This lasts for the first 20 minutes.  Do not let this deter you , try not to think about it. I'm on the 21mg patch.  This is recommended for smokers who smoke at least a pack a day or more. I can honestly say you really have to be determined to stop smoking altogether.  Side note. Was a very heavy cannabis smoker as well, and remarkably the patch has also gotten rid of all cravings for cannabis as well. If you're serious about kicking this filthy habit this patch works wonders ."


"Before being prescribed sertraline I would often feel anxious, panicked, and depressed all day, everyday, at work, at home, anywhere I went. On my days off from work I would not get off the couch & sometimes would not even take a shower. I would not say I am an un-motivated person, I graduated from a technical school & work full time with a state licence, so I wanted to feel comfortable with my life.
I was taking alprazolam as needed for panic attacks. Now I don't even need it. Zoloft has changed my life completely. I feel cool, calm & collected even under pressure. It is great to feel confident enough to live the life I like to live. All these great changes occurred in 2 short months."


"I've had this for almost 4 years now and I love it does its job I had my period for a couple months the first time I got it and didn't have once for 6 months to a year had spotting very rarely so I'm not complaining except I was bleed Brown blood alot for weeks which really sucks and not to mention the mood swings I have but nothing I couldn't handle.Best birth control I ever had."


"Starting taking Celexa 11/08 started with 20mg and a few months later the dose is 60mg.  I was extremely tired the first week or so, and then again with every increased dose.  Overall, the drug works.  The down and out feeling is gone.  I'm more laid back than usual, but I don't feel like a Zombie.  My side effects are sweating and no desire for food, both I have learned to live with.  I stopped taking the medication on my own, and suffered with the worst headaches ever.  I quickly refilled my prescription and things are back to normal."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"EASY to take. 1 ate a low fiber diet the day or two before your prep 2. Prep day. One egg in AM then Liquids all day and bone broth or chicken broth.3. Refrigerate your suprep and water. 4. Relax! Filled provided cup with Suprep and water to 1/4" below the 16 oz mark and top off to 16 oz with ginger ale (real ginger ale from whole foods or similar) 5 have little triangles of lemon pre cut. I put a piece in cheek while drinking and sucked lemon after each giant gulp. Not bad that tasting.6. USE A STRAW toward back of mouth. I drank half the solution without stopping. Then did the lemons with the remaining gulps. 7. Chased with a sip or two of ginger ale. Use Vaseline in and on butt generously and often."

"Very good information."


"I switched from OrthoTricyclen Lo because I was constantly spotting/bleeding in between my periods. I am also mild anemic so my Dr. Said this would be a good option since it has a bit of iron, but also to take iron pills. My period would last 5-7 days. Now that I am on Microgestin, my periods became only 3-4 days, I still have terrible cramps, I'm still spotty if I'm not consistent with taking my pills on time but my skin has been clear even transitioning between the two, even though my family tends to have terrible acne, I somehow got blessed along the way. Everyone's experience is different I suppose "


"I started Vesicare 3 weeks ago. I did help me a little for my overactive bladder but my eyesight is getting very blurry. Also my myopia is worsening. I can read a book without my reading glasses now, so my myopia is worsened by -1. I am going to stop taking it and hope for my eyesight to return to normal."


"I have tried other medicines for Bipolar Disorder and some worked and some did nothing. Lithium made me feel strangely dull and sleepy the first two weeks but I wanted to give it a good chance. Around the 15th day, I woke up and felt fine, two months later I still feel fine. I am also taking 15mg of Buspirone and 20mg of Celexa. I never thought I would be able to really live until now. My moods are not extreme anymore and I don't have suicidal thoughts. It is like a switch was slipped.
My doctor started me at a very low dosage of Lithium, I am so glad she did - I only need 300mg once a day."


"After trying gobs of anti-depressants, Xanax and the like, Klonopin along with both Effexor and Inderal has obliterated ANY and ALL anxiety and disabling symptoms plaguing my life for YEARS. I am so happy to have found a sympathetic physician who listens to my strife and actually cares about my welfare as a patient.  This combination has made me a NEW person with SO MANY opportunities in life.  This medicine has been a lifesaver and so very happy I'm finally squared with my emotional and anxiety-ridden baggage.  Not a SINGLE panic attack or anxiety attack since starting Klonopin. It's really a God send after so many years of struggling and would recommend to anyone a frank discussion with his/her physician for at least a trial."


"Terrible heartburns for like 3 days, I've been drinking probiotics and eating yogurt, and taking anti-acid medication, nothing helps. Can't wait to finish taking these horrible tablets."


"This medicine is great but it peels my skin"


"I was only on a 25 mg dose for two months. I noticed a very slight mood lift but not much else. I am currently starting a 20 mg dosage of Prozac."


"This is the only product that works for me.  The patent expires in December, 2015.  I hope it gets cheaper!"


"Lithium is a lifesaver. I had been misdiagnosed for years. When I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 was happy to finally find somewhere to start.
 People scared me off lithium with all of the side effects. I was afraid of weight gain etc don't be! All of our side effects are different. I wish I would have tried it way sooner. I'm a ton happier! I haven't been this happy in years. I'm a completely different person. Sure, I have to deal with stomach aches if I don't eat with it. The thirst goes down but still need to drink water - that's very important. And tests are not that big of deal."


"I've been taking this medication for about 1.5 years now. I had chronic migraines for over a year before I started taking this, with no explanation as to why I was having such awful headaches every single day. Ob-Gyn recommended me on birth control, and I haven't had a migraine for 1.5 years now! I don't have any bad side affects from this birth control (that I've noticed yet). Only having a period 4 times a year is definitely a plus!"


"I'm 22 and I've had anxiety and some bad panic attacks for the past 2 years. I'm prescribed ativan (lorazapam) to take as needed. It helped a lot for traveling and definitely for shutting down panic attacks but it also gives you a lot of ups and downs. Its a benzo so it essentially just shuts you down and makes you pass out, it doesn't really help fix the problem.

I talked to my doctor this summer about getting on an every day anxiety medicine and my mom takes prozac so I thought maybe it'll help me too. I started at 10 for a month and then increased to 20 for 2 months. I can honestly say I haven't had bad side effects at all but also it just felt like it wasn't doing anything. I just recently increased to 40 this month, hoping for the best!"


"Problems:

Nose bleed

Significant Memory Loss and confusion

Extreme Constipation"


"I have had really bad period experience in the past so I am used to the pain from cramps. On my first month when I started taking the pill my period was so painful I took 9 midols in one day. I know it was a bad idea but I could not stand the pain. I had nose bleeds (which I had never had before). My doctor said to stay on it and see if my body would get used to it. My period pains got better but I was exhausted all the time. I just wanted to sleep and I gained ten pounds. So after being on it for only five months I decided it wasn't worth it."


"I have just completed my first month on Contrave and I have lost 15 lbs!  I also made a huge diet change cutting carbs/sugars and started working out on the treadmill 30 min in the mornings.  My all day energy has really increased.  I was skimming the reviews and thankfully, I have not had any of the side affects that others have had.  I make sure to take after I've had some breakfast, like I do with vitamins.  The only challenge I have found is getting all fours pills in.  I've got to carry them in the evening to ensure I have them with me to take.  I have had a small bit of constipation, but I have increased my daily fiber pills and things got better.  I'm looking forward in seeing what month 2 can do for me :)"


"I was placed on Sinemet CR (1 x 4 times daily) as a result of Sinemet "wearing off".  I am a carer for my wife who is extremely disabled, thus I needed a medication which allowed me to still manage her needs whilst controlling my Parkinson's.  CR has worked and although I have  episodes of trembling as I get nearer the end of an 6 hour  medication cycle I am very happy with it as I am  able to tend to my wife's medical needs  and carry out cooking duties as required."


"Lexapro was a miracle drug for me as far as treating my severe health anxiety and PTSD.  It gave me my life back. I can truly say I was my normal self 98% of the time. However it caused me to have extreme muscle tension and headaches. I was even diagnosed with TMJ and was sleeping with a mouthguard at night. Weaning off Lexapro was horrific for me. It took a good 3 months for all the withdrawal symptoms to subside. Thankfully the headaches and stiff jaw got better as well. I'm sad I can't take Lexapro anymore. It saved my life. I'm about to start on Prozac. We'll see what happens."


"I'm a 21 year old female who has been suffering scalp psoriasis since I was in elementary school. I've tried every topic treatment on the market and cortisone injections before my dermatologist decided to put me on Humira. Everyone fails to mention, this stuff hurts, I have a high pain tolerance and the 5 times I've injected myself (with the syringe) I can keep a straight face while I inject it then when I withdraw, I start crying. I have had minimal results but am definitely seeing improvement. I heard the scalp in particular is hard to treat, so I still have high hopes!"


"I have been on Cymbalta for almost 4 years now and it has been a lifesaver for me.  The first few weeks I had some loose stools, but that subsided.  The only problem I have with it now is keeping weight off.  I have trouble loosing weight and I think it is due to the Cymbalta.  I eat a well balanced diet and exercise.  However, due to the numerous medicines I had tried before that failed me for anxiety and depression, I will keep taking the Cymbalta.  I'd rather be fat then feel the way I felt before."


"I have tried this medication but in the spanish version (clortalidona) and it works miracales. I love it , because I have a lot of fluid retention. I take it 1-2 times a week and I feel a lot lighter. You can really tell the difference."


"I got Nexplanon inserted less than a month after my daughter was born .  I am going on three years of having Nexplanon on my arm and I have not been able to have intercourse without pain.   Painful sex that makes you cry painful sex that makes you depressed because you want to feel the love but you can't because it hurts so bad .  My partner suffered he wanted to love me he wanted to have intercourse and I was so traumatized which made it worse .  I felt like my vagina muscles contracted involuntarily and the more I thought about the pain the more the muscles contracted .   The reason why I am giving this three points is because Nexplanon  did prevent me from getting pregnant but at what cost ?I also have 0 Sex Drive"


Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infection

"I got a MRSA staph infection from a cut on my knee. As the infection spread all across the knee, I was admitted into the hospital. I went through surgery where they flushed the joint with antibiotics but it didn't help the infection so they prescribed 2 weeks of oral Zyvox and the infection seems to have gone away. We just can't seem to keep the swelling down. "


"Prior to starting Trulicity, I had been suffering with lower extremity lymphedema for about two years. Within one day after starting Trulicity, the lymphedema nearly disappeared."


"I love the Implanon! I have been on it for almost 2 yrs. I get it out in Dec 2015. So far I like it because I always forget to take the pill or get my shot for Depo. I decided to try it and I love it. I did gain weight about 60 lbs but its not the birth control. It was stress with home, work and family. I wont get my period for months, then one day I get it. I would have for like 2 weeks. I had it with everything like cramps, mood swings and a heavy flow."


"I had to go onto Oxycodone as I became allergic to buprenorphine patches & reached the limit of how much morphine I could tolerate.  With Oxycodone my pain relief is better than morphine, the migraines are still a problem but less 'sharp' than when I took morphine.
As I live in England I am able to take oxycodone as an extended release drug called 'Targinact'.  It is a combination of oxycodone but also naloxone, which elimintes the biggest problem with opiates.....constipation.  Targinact works amazingly well - I can take oxycodone in high doses but with no constipation.  It is a shame that it isn't available in the US.  Although it is more expensive than oxycodone, all my prescriptions are free thanks to our wonderful healthcare system."


"Was given Tylox capsules after having back to back abdominal surgery.  Pain was greatly reduced, and side effects were low, only itching and slight drowsiness."


"I used to suffer from extremely heavy periods and cramping that interfered with my daily life. I would have to take time off work, rearrange my entire schedule and in general have an awful time with PMS before my period. Since getting my Mirena, I have had NONE of those symptoms. I finally can live my life without worry that my period will interrupt it. I do not get a period and I do not have any PMS symptoms. It's clear to me that Mirena changed my life for the better."


"In have a very rare autoimmune disease. It affects my upper body;  extremely painful.  In addition, i also have severe pain is in my legs. Specifically front of shins. It is bad enough to wake me up. Volatarin gel does helps with the pain, almost immediately. Good luck!"


"20mg a day changed my life.
Head pain due to stress and anxiety is gone when taking this tablet and also OCD in the form of dermatillomania (finger) completely better.
I had this for about 3 years and decided to stop, the weening off was very tough, I had a good month or two of hit sweats/shakiness and agitation. However I went completely back to normal for over 2 years after that. I have now restarted Fluoxetine/prozac due to having a very stressful year and struggling to get by day to day. 1st pill and I am mellow as a mellow thing once again, goodbye stresses!"


"Made me incredibly ill for first couple of weeks.  Nothing else worked.  But this did.  No more grand mals.  Seizure free, so long as I take the prescribed dose.  There is the risk [blood tests a must for safety] and I take the max dose, so I take 6 600mg tablets a day and I am only 26/Female, so that can be annoying, but you got to do what you got to do.  I also take vitamin supplements."


"I had INTENSE period cramps and always had heavy periods that would last 3-5 days. The tri-spintec helped with a cramps and I have been on this medication for almost two years now, I have no sex drive and mild depression along with bad  weight gain and I play soccer and run 3.5 k almost every practice still couldn't loose weight. And the main reason I got it was to help with cramps and chance of cyst on ovaries, now it doesn't help with cramps anymore and I'm not happy, I'm switching to kyleena implant. Overall it was an ok method, never used it for actual birth conrtol, so no idea if it works effectively that way."


"I have been given many choices for my breakthrough pain medication while being on methadone but I have always stuck with the oxycodone. I chose oxycodone without Tylenol because Tylenol causes major GI upset since I suffer from Gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying). I find it to be very effective in the combination I'm on, the only downside of oxycodone I find with myself is that if it's taken by itself it can cause insomnia which I find to be very annoying."


"I have candidiasis since January 2017 every month I have it but If I had a period I don't have it. My menstruation is not always every month. I went to different clinic coz I am shy about it. Even If I have no sexual contact in a month I still got it. I am taking metronidazole 2x for 7days but sometimes I only took 4 tablets. What I will do to not have candidiasis every month?"


"I've suffered migraines since I was 10 years old.  I am now 65 and on Atenolol for 15 plus years.  My NP took me off Imitrex because I was over using.  I was a about to explode from over use.  NP said  we should try Atenolol. My life changed dramatically, I'm finally living life headache free.  I get my RX filled and get 3 month supply for $10."


"I have a fair amount of "problems". Insomnia is one. I have MDD, GAD, PTSD. I take lexapro for depression and 1mg. twice a day of xanax. (You'd think I'd sleep from THAT)..NO...I also have SEVERE back/neck issues so I also take percocet 10s 4x day...STILL NO SLEEP. I tried them all...ambien...no...remeron...no. Serequel yes but hated the weight gain and could not function in morning,so my psych Dr said trazadone has been around forever no the effects...BS. It did NOT work AT ALL...was taking 50mg. So Dr said take 100mg...NOTHING but horrible headaches, severe nausea if I didn't eat enough, and once I finally managed to get 2-3hrs sleep it was NOT restful. Dr ALSO didn't tell me that their actually an antidepressant and take 4-6 weeks for maximum results"


"I am a 20 year old male. I have taken  Vyvanse to help me focus better on my tasks and also to improve my concentration. Vyvanse is a wonderful medication with very little negative side effects. "


"I have been on over 15 different antidepressants across every category. I have taken monoamine oxidase inhibitors (Ensam), tricyclic antidepressants, SSRIs (several - Effexor, Pristiq, etc.) and nothing worked. I'm taking Welbutrin 150 mg once a day (along with the Effexor XR still at 300mg) and it is incredible. I feel amazing. Unfortunately, after 3 weeks I developed hives all over my body that were itchy. While the itchiness went away after 3 days and the hives only come out at night now, my blood work shows I'm having a bad reaction to it. I also lost 14 lbs in 4 weeks (a good thing). I do feel extremely anxious and agitated at times and can't stop wiggling my foot, for example. Combined with the Effexor (which causes too much sleep), my sleep is at the right length now."


"I went on this for 2 months to see if it would offset the breakthrough bleeding I had on ortho tri lo.  I lost weight because this pill caused me to have terrible diahrrea.  It was so bad it continued after I was off of it for 6 months.  I had to see a GI dr because I thought I had IBS.  This pill caused me to be nauseous, have acid reflux and zapped my sex drive.  It caused vaginal dryness too.  I would also get terrible migraines and I NEVER get migraines or headaches.  I ended up going off of it because my body couldn't handle the side effects.   Made me slightly melancholy and tired too.

It did prevent pregnancy and no spotting.  I also had a decreased appetite and weight loss so it wasn't the worst."


"Have been suffering for 18 years before someone decided to treat me. Glucophage plus a birth control has made life better."


"I've on the shot for two years. I received the shot a few days after my 6 weeks check up after having my baby. The first year was okay, I was still having a regular period but it was just light. Going on the second year, my period would start back like a day or 2 only after intercourse. I got to the point where I would spot every now & then. My last shot, I spotted or bled for a whole month nonstop. I'm just going back to the pills, I'd rather have a regular period than to bleed a whole month."


"I have had Severe Refractory Full Body RLS for 10  years. My symptoms are 24/7 without medication. I was prescribed Requip and it was the one of the worst nights of my life! I was terribly nauseous and vomited all night. But even worse than that was the fact that it made my RLS much worse. I had the same results with Mirapex. My doctor tried me on several other meds. None of them worked and some made the RLS worse like the Requip and Mirapex did.
I ended up hurting my shoulder pretty badly and my doctor prescribed Tramadol. Low and behold once it got into my system the RLS was gone! I've been taking the Tramadol every 6 hours for 9 years now and am still symptom free and doing great!"


"Pros:  Great for depression -- best medicine I've ever taken (I've taken everything), Cons:  Nausea (okay if taken with food), horrible headaches (they went away after a week or so), and a severe rash.  Rash did not appear until 3 weeks after beginning the medication and got much worse when dose increased from 5 to 10mgs.  I see my doc next week.  Sadly I suspect that we will have to discontinue using the medicine because of the rash......."


"Started in May I'm down 20 lbs ,but it's July 20 and I feel like I'm at a stand still and Its not curbing my appetite as well"


"I got the liletta placed five days ago and the insertion was way more painful than I ever remembered the Mirena to be. It was so uncomfortable that I was on the verge of telling them to just forget it. Anyway I went through with it and sucked it up. I've been cramping, bleeding and passing blood clots since it was inserted. The cramps are not something that I can withstand for a long period of time so I've made ibuprofen and my heating pad my best friend. Today I went to the bathroom and I passed blood clots and I waited because I felt like I was passing another huge one...however this felt slightly different from the others, and what do you know, the liletta made its way out:( I'm very disappointed!"


"I have bipolar disorder and schizophrenia so I know what medical side effects are all about. My doctor prescribed me trazadone to help me fall asleep. I am on 100mg. It works miracles for falling asleep, however in the morning, I cannot wake up. If I try and force myself to wake up, my limbs barely move and I cannot hold myself up. I could not even get out of bed."


"Felt better in 2 days ! This is a miracle for me. Suffered with terrible depression for years. Also had severe anxiety and panic attacks. I have NO side effects from Celexa. It is WONDERFUL from my personal experience."


"My doctor suggested this for endometriosis. 6 months of injections, total agony. The injection itself is tolerable if the person giving it knows what they are doing. Every symptom of menopause hit me within 2 or 3 weeks. No weight gain. It did stop my periods. After 4 years of suffering and 2 of that in and out of doctors I'm completely frustrated and exhausted."


"I LOVE Nuvaring. I am 17 years old and it fits into my crazy lifestyle. I am a cheerleader and quite active and the Nuvaring does an amazing job of staying where it is supposed to. I was on the Depo shot for a year and I hated it. I could never predict a period and would often miss it, but with the ring I know when it comes. Out on a Wednesday and I have my period Saturday morning on the dot. This is amazing. I suffer from various medical conditions so I'm assuming I have just never noticed any side effects, but compared to other forms of birth control I would say Nuvaring is the easiest and gives the least side effects. My boyfriend can feel it but he says its not bothersome. "


"ACT was recommended by my dentist.  I have had no cavities or softening of the enamel on my teeth since I started using ACT.  I think it is one of the best products of any kind I have used, and there have been no side effects."


"I am 40 years old and have been struggling with adult acne for ten years now.  My face has always been oily and topical creams/antibiotics have only been temporary fixes. My dermatologist and I decided to finally give Isotretinoin a try. I started taking Amnesteen in September 2013. The first three months I had moderate breakouts as expected.  But in December and so far this month I've not had any acne, with the exception of a small bump I noticed today. I just had my last appointment with my dermatologist yesterday where he gave me my last prescription.  The only side effects have been dry eyes, skin and lips but not severe at all.  Aquaphor for the lips and Cerave for my face have been awesome. So far, very happy with the results."


"I have OA in my hands, knee, and spine.  I have been taking Celebrex for over 12 years.  I have slightly high blood pressure.  It could be from Celebrex but the benefits of Celebrex outweigh the possible side effects I have experienced.  I am having a second spine fusion in a week and have to stop taking Celebrex, per my doctor's request.  I have read more positives to keep taking it through and after surgery...I dread going off it because I will not be able to use my hands.  Celebrex improves my quality of life and I recommend anyone with severe arthritis to give it a try"


"I smoked for 32 years one pack per day and I took Chantix for a week while still smoking, on the eighth day I stopped smoking. The first week was tough cause the Chantix helps but you have to decide to stop. After withdrawals for 2 weeks I got over the hill and been good since. Next week will be 2 months of being a non smoker. This medicine is worth every penny. I did have some dreams and not nauseated as long as I eat first. Good Luck to everyone. This is doable."


"Just took 1 300-30mg as a replacement for the Davorcet which was withdrawn recently.  I used that sparingly and ran out a month ago.  I have rheumatoid arthritis, "fibro", osteoarthritis among other health problems so I am in some sort of constant pain daily.  My Doctor is very conservative about giving me prescription pain medicine so I am to cut in half and take no more than a grand total of 1 pill a day.  Not sure he understands my pain but I have to follow his orders.  I have to save this for my most severe days and when I absolutely have to get things done.  Use Excedrin migraine and Advil on other days."


"

I am a mother of a young adult female. Over a year ago, my daughter was healthy but took the Depo Vera shot to help her with her period. First Depo shot-an allegeric reaction, the GI issues started and became a health nightmare. As a mother, I took my daughter to every Dr imiginainable for non narcoctic meds, tried every diet, and Googled every review-no relief for almost 2 years. As her mother, I felt helpless. My daughter was in chronic pain and sickness. Until a day ago, 7/5/2017, this expensive drug (shame on your creators) was prescribed ...a miracle. Last night, my daughter slept like a baby for the 1st time in 2 years."


"I have been on Ativan or lorazepam for 7 years now. It has saved my life. My now grown children say it is my nice pill. And yes I wasn't a very nice mom when they were growing up. So it is a fare statement. I need it also as an on the spot antianxiety, for depression and nervous breakdowns."


"After suffering from Rosacea for as long as I could remember I visited my doctor who gave me a sample pack of Mirvaso. As instructed applied it the following morning after my shower. I waited (as instructed) 5/10 minutes to then apply my moisturiser. I did the same for the next 3 days and was stunned and so impressed by the results! For the first time in years I wasn't red! Unfortunately on the fourth day I became bright red in my T-Zone and worse than I had ever been. I applied it again the next morning. My face was fantastic all day but by 5.00pm that night my whole face was redder than ever before. I was in a shop and the owner asked if I had high blood pressure (I don't) because I was so red! I have stopped using it"


"Hello!  I am actually starting to feel like my old self again.  :)
I started taking hydrocodone 10/325 4x a day 4yrs ago 1st due to c-section then found it helped my back pain from bulging discs and found a pain Dr.  Well same for me , the 4 was not enough.  When I ended my horrible relationship with hydrocodone I was up to 10 pills a day.  I started stealing from my boyfriend's pill bottle and then started buying off of the street!   I'm a mom of 3 gorgeous children. I couldn't believe I got to this point!!  It's all I ended up knowing. I couldn't function without it!  It ALMOST ruined my life.  Finally I decided enough was enough and went to the ER after withdrawing for 8 hrs.  This was about 6 days ago .  Patch saved me!!!!!!"


"Was gardening, got splinter while planting in side 3rd joint of right middle finger. 4 days later area is warm, tinder, and with a slightly swollen reaction and tightness up to the middle knuckle. Was given Sulfameth/tmp 800/160 twice daily for 10 days. 1st day after, swelling has stopped progressing. At day 4, all swelling, tenderness, and warmth are localized to just around the cuticles and the flesh of the finger tip. Looks to be receding. Unsure if there is pus or just swelling. Saying hydrated with warm soaks. I want to avoid abscess if it is pus. Once I get an abscess, I'll be using a small gauge needle or go to the Urgent Care to have them drain it.
I have not had complications, no allergies, stomach, or headaches."


"This is by far the worst pill prescribed for sleep! !! I felt anxious  irritable. ..heart was racing headache  and my blood pressure increased  along with abdominal discomfort and muscle pain. And if I I do fall asleep  it's for an hour or so  and I'm up for another hour and find it very  hard  to fall back to sleep . Never again !! this pill is not  for me!!!"


"It took me a couple times, but after taking Chantix for a week, I am now over 5 years without nicotine.  I would take 1/2 pill at night before bed, it worked!!!"


"Good"


"Early days as just starting this due to mirtazapine not working, difficult to rate yet but have high hopes for some relief from daily anxiety,  affecting being unable to socialise and continue with normal life.  Tried CBT but after 20 sessions no better. Your website is helpful with others experiences giving an insight.   Will post again if successful."


"I have been using tegretol for 6 months , 200 mg a day two times. Before this I started with abylify and it did not help me. I feel much more normal than before and I don't feel like I am going up or down anymore. But  I think one of the most important thing is also not using alcohol and sleeping 8 hours a day."


"Unless you are extremely obese (>350 pounds) and have no other options avoid this medication at all costs. Side effects for me were severe nausea, vomiting constantly, heart palpitations (which have not gone away even after stopping the medicine), chills, terrible body aches, delusions, fatigue, insomnia, bizarre dreams, and apathy. Even after stopping the medicine I can still feel after effects. This drug needs to be investigated for safety cause someone I know also had close to the same side effects as me. I did lose 2 pounds the first week but I believe it was cause I had no desire to eat and the constant vomiting. It's also very expensive."


"Oh my. I was put on carbamazepine for possible epilepsy and it didn't seem to do anything - but the doctors said to just keep trying. However, it continued to worsen, making my focus dip considerably, and causing my hearing to change! (I'm a musician, I could tell - it dropped a semitone down.) Was very annoying."


"I've been on this 8 months and I'm still adjusting. I started last November, and in December I spotted the entire month. My doctor told me to take half the placebos to flush out my system. I missed Christmas eve and Christmas it was so heavy and painful. The worst 2 days I've ever had on my period. Round two wasn't so bad, with the exception of one day. I'm halfway through my 3rd package. I've been breaking out like crazy and getting random cramps and bladder infections as I normally would before my period, but I still have another 45 days until placebo week. I might check with my doctor again soon because my body doesn't seem to want to cooperate with this drug. I'm only on this to treat endometriosis. I'm not sexually active."


"I took Delsym grape flavor liquid 12hr, about an hour after I had a final coughing fit. About two hours after I started having very watery diarrhea. Fifth hour in and I am still having diarrhea but no cough. I will never take this again!! Not worth it!"


"I have been on Otezla for 4 months. At first the side effects were severe and I was feeling sick everyday, but continue with the optimism that it would clear. Those side effects began to die down, but I started to feel more along the lines of depression and anxiety, feelings I had not previously had. All the while, in this 4 months, I have seen zero improvement on my skin, it is the same as if I had not been taken any medication at all. My Dr recommended staying on it for 2 more months to see if there are any results at all. But after having so much optimism when first starting, I have become disheartened and frustrated with both the side effects and the lack of results. I feel worse now than I did 4 months ago."


"Yesterday was my first day.  I slept all day and had a headache. I felt strange. Today I slept half the day but didn't feel as strange as yesterday. I'm hungry, but nothing sounds good to eat, so I don't care to eat."


"Pros:  Not too much stomach discomfort, even with an ulcer and irritable bowel syndrome, alters your craving for food - instead of fries, it's fruit. I've lost 82 pounds so far, with only 20 to go.

Cons: It alters your cravings, not sheds the weight for you. It must accompany a change in lifestyle. I had trouble with increased heart rate and I'm in my 20's with no heart problems. I was even unable to donate blood because the rate was too high. This stabilizes every time I go off the medicine. It also can make me restless. When my husband and I were both on it, we fought like crazy all the time. I thought I was crazy, but each time we would stop taking it, the fighting would decrease."


"I have tried almost every medicine for GAD (Xanax, celexa, paxil, wellbutrin, lamictal, seroquel, buspar) but it seems that Amitriptyline is the only drug that work for me. I  also  take 300 mg of Lyrica for chronic pain and 150 mg of Effexor Xr in the morning and 50 mg of Amitriptyline before sleep. It changed my life."


"(20 days of pure HELL)!! My doctor added Bystolic 10 mg (gave me 3 weeks samples) to help lower my heart rate and blood pressure... I was on Caduet 10mg and Hydrochlorotizide 25mg for over 10 years but recently my bp was not being stable. The 1st day on Bystolic I experienced cold legs and my bp was 132 / 84 better than my 142 / 90.. My short time on Bystolic I started having vivid horrific dreams and was waking up with cold sweat and high bp of 158 / 98 ... During the 1st week I also lost about 2 seconds of consciousness and became very light headed and foggy minded which remained until I demanded my Dr to take me off of Bystolic which he didn't want to do "


"I have been taking this drug for 4 weeks so far and I am highly disappointed. I have an ovary cyst and I need to block my period completely for several months to see what is happening (cyst is growing with each period). Instead, 19 days after my last period, I got slight bleeding, than it got growing and right now I am having almost 10 days of light bleeding, while taking this without a break. I paid $45 for it. I have never ever paid this high amount for 3 X 21 birth control pills. "


"Because of depression  I had developed insomnia. My doctor had prescribed me ambien, but that wore off real quick that it wasn't working anymore. Then I was feeling even more depressed because I was worrying about sleeplessness which led me to a viscious cycle, then I tried this Trazadone , it has been a God send for me. I feel normal again I sleep like a baby, at first, before trazadone I was sleeping about 3 hours or so. I have 50 mg and 100. I usually go with 50 and I'm a pretty big dude 250lbs. Just take it with a Lil food before bed time,if u don't it won't work as well. Good luck and be patient if your new to this drug. You have to do a Lil experiment on yourself with this before u get it right as far as in dosage and time."


"I have to be honest, it  has done nothing for me."


"I've been on fluoxetine 10 mg for only 5 days. I have noticed some changes already. I have the worst anxiety and for the past 3 days, stressful situations seem a tad bit less stressful for me. I already lost 4-5 pounds on it. It makes me never think about food anymore. It makes me not hungry for hours. Even a small granola bar can keep me satisfied and full for 5-6 hours... But I force myself to have breakfast lunch and dinner. Things seem more brighter, colors are more vivid to me. Overall I think it's starting to work. I will re-respond in a few weeks to touch base."


"I read so many good reviews on Drysol so I decided to try it! The first night I used it, it had a burning sensation but I could handle it. The next day I was so happy with the results. I had no sweat at all. The second time I used it, it itched like crazy and I was up all night trying to tolerate it, but still no sweat. The third time I used it my armpits burnt and there was red bumps! I immediately washed it off but the pain didn't go away. Maybe it was just my skin having a reaction to it but I do not think this is for me!"


"Excellent drug! Very fast pain relief (1-2 days) with no side effects. Other antibiotics have made me extremely nauseous, but no problems with this one at all."


"The medication made me fell generally unwell with increased wind, loose bowel, a constant sick feeling, exhaustion, terrible mood swings."


"This medication in combination with other medicines gave me my life back. I had unsuccessful or allergic reactions to other meds that I had tried. I thank my doctor and this medicine every day for giving me my life back."


"I've been taking Paxil 10mg for 3 years and I'm not looking to increase dose. I did gain weight but that’s also cause I was not so stressed about being thin , when I do exercise I am super fit .  Paxil works , orgasms were harder but by no means impossible, just takes longer . I feel normal on it , went off for six weeks and there were mild side effects but nothing crazy . Had to go back on as there was a major trauma that happened while I was off them and I crumbled . I say do it but keep the dose low , you don’t need to take a lot ."


"Started taking it about 3 weeks ago. Has done wonders for my reflux. I was waking up in the middle of the night just miserable with the burning in my esophagus and throat, and the taste of the acid.  Horrible.  The Dexilant has all but stopped that.  Have had a couple days where I can taste the acid, but no pain.  Just in the last few days, I have developed intense, burning itching on my arms, INSIDE my ears and on my scalp.  No rash, just random itching.  I am hoping and praying it isn't the medication, but at this point, I don't have any other ideas."


"I have used this for about 5 months now and I have felt nothing but crappy the whole time. I throw up almost all the time. Feel exhausted constantly. Get diahrrra when I'm vomiting. Can't sleep well. Crazy mood swings. I'm not pregnant, so it obviously works. It just has gnarly side effects. I've see many others with the same issues. I chose it initially because I thought it would be easier than taking a pill every day. I didn't want to get any of the inserts. So, this seemed the best option for me. When I saw the side effects I didn't think much of it since I would have those kinds of symptoms when I was on my period or a few days before I would get it. But it the symptoms are to the extreme. my period is also lighter and longer."


"Was prescibed Nucynta 100mg initially. It took effect within approx. 1hr. I, too, felt loopy & out of it. I felt I was hallucinating and had strange off the wall kind of "dreams". So I called Dr back & exchanged the prescription. I had asked to try the 75mg but guess I scared Dr with my symptoms. So I was prescribed 50mg.  I have been on this dosage for 4 days. Doesn't last long enough and does NOTHING to manage my pain. I have spinal stenosis as well as scoliosis and degeneration of discs (virtually no discs) between L1-L5. Osteoarthritis in knees as well as in lower back. This medication works well on some, not so with others. "


"Good relief without being too wiped out"


"I like everyone suffered from acne for the longest time. My face was so gross it hindered my self confidence and faith in myself.

Like everyone, I tried a million creams and pills and washes, none worked, and a lot made my acne worse.

Acutane is the nuclear option. It cuts off all moisture to your face, and your face basically presses the reset button and figures out that sending all that oil isn't a good idea. Of course, that means your lips are chapped, your face is dry, and you'll probably get nosebleeds. To me, that was more than worth it.

If you think there are other routes to stop your face from looking like a pizza, try those, but if you've tried everything and are ready to nuke your face and try again, acutane worked."
