"Letaris had some side effects that were rather unpleasant but well worth it. I can go up a flight of stairs and usually not lose my breath. The difference between how I felt before and then after starting this med was like night and day. Truly amazing. My oxygen saturation was 98-99% in my 6 min walking test vs. 92% before Letaris. Downside is these horrible red splotches all over my chest that do not go away. (I think they are broken capillaries)."


"My daughter has had this for a little over a month. She has become someone I don't recognize.....moody, irritable,afraid to leave the house, and most important, afraid to drive because she's afraid of harming herself.

She experienced mild depression prior to insertion. I believe the implant has exacerbated (magnified) it greatly. It may work great for someone... However, if u have slight depression, please be forewarned.

My daughter has also had;

Acne

Weight gain

Decreased libido

Mood swings

Terrible irritability

2 weeks of active vaginal bleeding

We r having it removed in 4 days."


"I was given Reglan in an ER when I couldn't stop vomiting when I had a migraine. It helped to stop my vomiting, but I reacted horribly. It made me uncontrollably agitated and nervous. I couldn't stop moving, I couldn't think clearly, and I couldn't relax until I was given a sedative. I now claim that I am allergic to the drug due to the way my body reacted to it."


"My personal experience was that this medicine, it worked very well for my nerve pain. I did not have full motion of my neck on my right side and had severe pain in my arm and shoulder area.  Medicine took a few weeks to build up in my system but I no longer have any pain and now have full motion in my neck.  Downside is that I am a little groggy when I wake up.  This medicine has allowed me to return back to work without pain."


"This product works very well, only problem that has showen was the dryness of skin after applying. It has cleared up my face wonderfully, but there are still little not so noticeable areas that refuse to go away. So expensive even with insurance and you only get this tiny bottle but I say its worth it."


"I have been taking this medication for panic and anxiety  with great success but I wonder why it is not listed for this?"


"I have tried every antiperspirant deodorants out there and nothing seemed to work. I would use like 20 swipes and still be sweating in 5 minutes. Weather it was heat, activity, nervous I would have huge rings under my arms. Finally I tried hypercare the other night and I don't know why I haven't used it before. The next day I saw immediate results I have been using it for 5 days now it itches, burn a little but definitely worth 15 minutes of pain for no sweat marks. I would recommend this to anyone with sweating problems."


"I have been reading some of the reviews and I wanted to remind people that birth control is extremely individual. The right birth control for one person may not be right for another. The way your body reacts to the birth control is a big factor in how well it works for you and is not consistent among everyone. I, personally, love LoSeasonique. I switched about 2 years ago after my previous birth control started giving me migraines and making me sick. LoSeasonique allows me to have only 4 periods a year, and when I do have them they are very light. It took about a month to adjust to it, but after that, it was great! Completely took away my PMS symptoms and does not wreak havoc on the rest of my body."


"Overall, this is great for preventing motion sickness. I used it for a 5 day cruise and I didn't not get sick. I give this an 8 because it came with some pretty annoying side effects: severe cotton mouth, occasional drowsiness, and really blurred vision."


"Just had to put the comment in here that the reviews posted had me extremely nervous about the insertion and while I cannot express my opinion about this device long term the insertion did not hurt AT ALL. It was placed during my period and I took about 4 advils before the procedure...I'm 26 and have 2 children."


"I have been prescribed methotrexate for psoriatic arthritis  at 5 x 2.5 dosage once a week, followed by 3 days of folic acid. The day after I took it for the first time I was disabled with voting, nausea and flu like symptoms. I felt awful but persevered.

Week 2 and the same happened but this time with a very runny nose - like a waterfall. I was vomiting so badly that yellow bile was coming out - it felt like the lining of my stomach had been shredded.

I stopped taking them. I felt I was dying - bloody awful drug"


"I've been on Trinessa for under a month now, and I am already seeing incredible improvements with my acne and acne-related scarring. My skin tone is becoming even, and clearing up at record speed. The reason why I only rate this medication an 8 is because it has caused mood swings, and for some reason radiating pain in my ankles and calves. I also get a pretty bad gag reflex for at least four hours after taking the pill, which is uncomfortable and I always feel on the verge of vomiting. However, nothing else has ever worked so well for my skin tone/acne problems, and I've tried it all. If you think the benefits outweigh the risks, as I do, this is for you."


"This really helped lowe my sugars a lot! For the first time in years my sugars are normal!

I lost about 15 lbs too!

Had some rough side effects at the beginning (aches, yeast infections from sugar in urine) but they all got better when the sugar levels went down.

Also on Janumet which is pretty good too."


"I tried so many antibiotics for a sinus infection that lasted over 3 months. My doctor finally decided to prescribe Avelox because it is one of the stronger antibiotics (at least that is what she told me). Within 3 days I honestly could feel relief. I was so happy to have finally found something that worked. About 1 1/2 years later I had another sinus infection and my doctor put me on Avelox right way. Again, within 2-3 days there was so much relief. I never had any side effects that I knew of."


"Was going to the toilet every 30 mins, I have been having botox every 6 months for 3 years, Its wonderful, It last about 3 months then tapers off, Zero side effects."


"The birth control kept me from getting pregnant so on that subject it worked great.  But, I had 3 severe side effects that really affected my quality of life.  I was exhausted all of the time, no energy ever (after I stopped taking it within 1 week I had energy again). I had intense headaches everyday within an hour of taking this medicine, and I was very emotional.  One moment nice next moment sad, then mean. It has been a month since I took this birth control and I fell like me again!!"


"I am 56 with degenerative disc disease, fibromyalgia and  just underwent rhizotomy on lumbar. That still did not help with the pain. I also broke my back in 2000 which was not treated and my spine is deformed. I suffer so much, I also tried everyting, this is magnificent it only takes 15mg."


"This worked wonders for me. Always cleared up my bacterial vaginosis!"


"I love it!! Insertion hurt like hell, but it was only like 30 seconds of pain. After insertion, I had terrible cramps for about 20 minutes- I had to lay in the doctors chair the whole time until they subsided. After they went away, I was completely normal! I had the Mirena inserted on the HEAVIEST day of my period (day 2), and the next day the bleeding was gone. I normally have my period for 5 days and this thing stopped it in its tracks! Having gotten the Mirena inserted for this problem specifically, I am so happy. After having the Mirena inserted (and in turn going off the pill), my sex drive has skyrocketed. I wanted to have sex like crazy the day I got it inserted lol. The pain is SO worth it in the end!"


"I've been continuously on the Depo shot since the end of my freshman year in high school, I am now and Senior in high school. I have had the worst side effects, I've gained over 25 lbs, ALWAYS tired, no sex drive and extremely moody all the time. The only plus to this shot is how it lasts for 3 months and how I never got my period. "


"I'm 21 years old. I have a 7 month old baby boy. It's been 3 months now since the insertion (painful but worth it). 3 weeks bleeding spotting. Totally satisfied. No weight gain, I'm petite though, increase sex drive! Insurance covered. No cramps, no bleeding. Just white and yellow discharge only occasionally. No acne. No need to worry about taking pills everyday. My husband loves it. He can feel the string just a  bit but no big deal."


"Epiduo hurt. And stung. It hurt when I put it on, it hurt when I put on lotion, and it hurt when I tried makeup. I only put it on at night; washed my face, put on the epiduo for 15 min, then covered myself in Nivea Soft lotion.  (the one that stung the least $4.99)
Today is day 18 and I am THRILLED! I only have scars, which are fading day by day. My skin is still peeling and stings! But it's tolerable. I haven't worn makeup to college or work for the past 3 days for the first time in my entire life, and I looked fine. A guy even hit on me in the parking lot!!! I will continue to use Epiduo even if the peeling face never goes away. It's done wonders!
I'll wait another month and post on here again for the same results. STICK TO IT! TRUST!"


"Patient exhibits no improvement after 12 months of supervised treatment."


"Wow, Flomax made my stone pass with one dose after 3 months of pain, worry, CAT scans, and the urologist thinking it was prostatitis. Wish they gave it to me in the ER in August! Stone was 8mm x 5mm, and got stuck in three places on the way down. Thank you Flomax!"


"Keeps me awake somewhat, but gives me terribly terrible headaches."


"I'm on 60 mgs a day for muscle spasms and this is the first time in over a year that I can move without feeling like my muscles are going to snap like an old rubber band."


"First off I just want to say, please don't be alarmed/afraid when you read that your going to gain a tremendous amount of weight while taking Paxil. Not saying by any means anybody is lying nor the information they provide about this medicine is false. Everybody is different and will receive different results. I almost contacted my physician right away, in demands I obtain a different medication after hearing about the weight gain, however, I gave it a fair chance. I did NOT want to a eat a thing while on Paxil and my friends already noticed I've dropped a significant amount of weight. Please don't avoid this medication because of freight about weight gain because it might very well not happen! My social anxiety also vanished."


"I had the Synvisc one injection in my left knee 4 weeks ago.   The injection was painful and I had worse knee pain than before for 3 1/2 weeks.  I have had little to no pain for 4 days now.  I am hopeful to receive 5-6 months of pain free living.  If so I will most likely have a repeat injection as my next option is knee replacement."


"Have been on Geodon for a little over 2 months & I LOVE IT! It is definitely a life saver! It helps with my depression and mood swings. I take 40mg at night it helps me sleep & feel refreshed in the morning. I even started back college for Nursing. Helps me make good choices and makes me a lot more positive and energetic! I started off at 120mg at night but left me groggy & drowsy the next day until it was time for me to take it again at night so I dropped down to 40mg & it works wonders! I agree that every medicine isn't for everybody but definitely give it a try."


"I'm on FIRE! I am yeast infection prone and have always treated with OTC cream and suppositories and NEVER experienced anything like this."


"I have Fibromyalgia and OsteoArthritis my Dr. recommended Opana and it has been a God send."


"The medicine does it's job.  Although I experience severe dry mouth and nightmares.  Nightmares weren't listed as a side effect, but my doctor knew about it and didn't tell me when he prescribed it.  Nightmares are supposed to subside.  After 6 weeks I still have them a few times a week."


"I started on July 19 and to date absolutely no weight loss. My appetite has been cut dramatically but I am seeing no results. I am eating healthy 95 % and working out but nothing. Not sure why my doctor says to continue I am now on my second box. What am I doing wrong? ??"


"This is a very good method for weight loss. I actually loss 43lbs using this pill along with exercise. It really gives you energy. This is really my 3rd time on this pill.  But once your body gets used to it it does not work as well. But overall I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to lose weight."


"42 yrs old, had kyleena inserted 6/28, pain was not bad during insertion, but the headache and dizziness the three days after were simply horrible. Things are good now just cramping off and on and spotting."


"It works well. I did gain weight with it since it does affect the regions of the brain associated with this but I simply try to stay fit by exercising (which helps my condition as well) and eat healthy foods. Be religious in taking your daily dose, though! The side effects are quite debilitating. This includes being completely useless for anything, sleeping, really weird dreams and the vertigo described (quite accurately) here as an electrical zapping sensation. Any time you move your head or eyes and it feels like a bzzzzt. Also heed the warning of interaction with alcohol. ONE very occasional glass of wine or beer but that's it! Mixing this medicine and any alcohol beyond the occasional drink and you'll get seriously messed up."


"I gained 10 lbs in under 1 week, which sets a speed record among the weight-gain meds I've taken.  Since that pushed me up to the pre-diabetic border, my psychiatrist pulled me off of it ASAP - not to mention that when you're severely depressed, how is super chunking up supposed to make you feel better no matter how well the med works?  1 month & I would have been up 40 lbs!  I felt no other side effects, nor any positive effects, but 1 week probably wasn't long enough for it to make a difference on my mood - only my rear end."


"Allergic reaction where the patch was. Red, blistering and itching. Usually by the 3rd day."


"I was suffering from a severe virus-caused sore throat with terrible coughing.  My PCP advised me to take Mucinex but at substantially greater dosage than the package recommends.  I did so for about 3-4 weeks.  The medication did help relieve my coughing, but it interfered so badly with my sleep that I had to discontinue taking it.  I notice that other people have experienced sleep problems with Mucinex.   There should be a warning about this on the package label."


"Given a sample of the 8mg dose.  Flow improved dramatically after about 30 mins.  Effect lasts 2-3 days.  There does seem to be a meaningful reduction in ejaculate.  Overall orgasm experience is somewhat less as a result.  So, some tradeoff.  In my case flow had become so poor it is one worth making.  Rapaflo is expensive, so trying tamsulosin as an alternative now.

55 year old male with no other meaningful health issues."


"I have suffered with ulcers on my ankles (poor circulation) for years.  Every once in awhile one if not both will get infected.  Legs swell and skin turns purple as well as becoming very sensitive.  The ulcers feel as though hot needles are being shoved into them.  Keflex always knocks out the infection within a few days."


"So far, I haven't gotten pregnant so this medication is doing its job. I have experienced a few side effects. I have a complete loss of appetite (I haven't been hungry in 2 months) and I've lost about 5 pounds. Sex can be painful since I can't seem to produce natural lubrication. My period is a barely a period, I wouldn't even call it a "flow" and it lasts maybe a day and a half. Most concerning is before starting Orsythia I had low blood pressure, but after two months my blood pressure has gone up so much it is technically stage 1 hypertension (despite taking perscription water pills)."


"Anxiety hit following 18 months of anger/grief. I was 36 years old and over a period of just 1 months anxiety spiralled out of control - developing a fear of driving and being alone - nearing not leaving the house. Shrink prescribed Zoloft, the first week was bad. I remember massive weight loss, insomnia and excessive yawning. These side effects soon disappeared and six weeks later this miracle pill started to kick in. Started on 12.5mg and have slowly increased over nine months to 175mg. Now 1 yr later returning back to normal, anxiety did get worse at every increase of dose before getting better. Give it time it will work. Exercise and CBT also helps heaps."


"I have been on this drug for over 3 Years now, and my condition has not changed.  "


"Great medicine. No side effects."


"I have suffered from Fibromyalgia for years and have regular flare ups. The nerve pain in my jaw and neck was horrific. I found even oxynorm and Tramil was not able to control the pain. This drug has changed my life dramatically.... I feel almost normal again and able to cope with my symptoms. I am on the lowest dose of 25mg. 2 times per day and combined with 10mg. of Endep I can now get a good nights sleep and no nerve pain. I have been advised to stay on this dosage for at least 3 months and then cut down to one per day and eventually cease taking it. As I am very sensitive to drugs I was surprised that I have had no side effects. Thanks for giving my life back..... I don't know how I would have survived without it?"


"I was just put on oxycontin yesterday 10 mgs twice a day with norco for break through pain. I was on oxycodone 5mgs 4 times a day. The only thing I don't like is the headache I got this morning and dry mouth, but I will stay with it, because it works."


"So I took plan b on Easter (April 5) after a mess up , and I'm pretty sure it worked my cycle came on but the only problem Ive had with the plan b pill is my cycle was on longer then it was suppose to be and obviously most women wouldn't be comfortable having their cycle on longer then it's suppose to be but tht beats any unplanned pregnancy any day ."


"I think Nexplanon is right for you if you want to avoid pregnancy. At least, that was my experience. I have had nexplanon for 4 months already, and have only had spotting since insertion. I would consider a downside being the spotting lasted two to three weeks around the second-third month, but overall it's been nice not having a period. Its very effective against pregnancy. At first, I was very worried that I could be pregnant, but I've taken multiple cheap tests and they're all negative! I've calmed down about thinking I'm pregnant, as I trust it more. My moods have been crazy until this week, which might be a temporary thing. Other than the moods I consider it to be a great option!"


"I'm just finished my second month on Accutane and I have never been happier about my skin! I have tried topical creams and antibiotics which did not help at all. When my dermatologist prescribed Accutane for my severe acne, I was doubtful after being prescribed unhelpful drugs. But I was wrong, and Accutane is working great for my skin. It's been a long struggle with acne and I am finally seeing results to clearer skin. The results you get from this medicine overpowers the side effects....trust me its worth it."


"I suffer from anxiety daily and mild depression. I was on Paxil for 2 years and thought I was okay to get off it, 2 months later I fell hard into depression and anxiety and recently went back on it and waiting for it to kick in again. This medicine is a life saver for sure. Don't give up on it in a few days. You have to let it kick in. Hopefully it'll kick in soon for me! On it I had no anxiety and I suffered daily before it, had no depression.  Good luck :)"


"I was allergic to it. Developed upper respiratory infection, cough, conjuctivitis, and the final straw was waking up one night with my throat almost swollen shut.  The allergist said I had a reaction to it and to stop taking it."


"Started Sprintec about 4 months ago. During the first pack I had almost daily breakthrough bleeding, but it disappeared after that. However, last week I took my pill only 2 hours late and I started spotting again as well as getting bad headaches, so definitely try to take it at the same time no matter what. Some weight gain, really bad mood swings during the first few months. Haven't gotten pregnant so it's definitely an effective pill."


"The best thing there ever was, the only thing that works for twin brother and I."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This was alot better than the nasty gallons of the past, yes I said gallons. Mixed first dose and just chugged it, yes in one lip setting, lol, drank my water within about 10 minutes, used flavoring for it. Started working within about 15 minutes, was actually not too bad. I have had about 8 of these procedures, started at 27, 52 now, if you think these are not good you would not survived 20 years ago, very good easy to use bowel prep, does what it is designed to do."


"I had to come off 450 mg a day of Tramadol before a pain pump trial, which is coming up shortly.  I thought I was going to lose my marbles for a couple of days when the pain was so intense I couldn't bear it.  Besides a crappy back, I have PLMD and diabetic neuropathy.  I can't take stronger opiates because of allergies.  I learned that the Tramadol helped more with my leg pain than my back pain, though by the time I was totally weaned off a couple of days ago, my back was starting to be pretty sore, too.  I'm taking Tylenol (LOL, what a joke, but it beats nothing), plus 1 mg of clonidine every 8 hours.  For me, it has been quite helpful.  When I was just taking it once a day, I was miserable."


"I started Zoloft before my 3rd child was born. I've had depression throughout my life and a major breakdown after my 1st child's birth. Noticed an improvement within days, and husband noticed huge diff. Dry mouth and increased appetite has cycled through the years on occasion. But the big side effect for me was insomnia. I thought it was my little one getting me up every 2 hours, but realized that taking the medicine at night was the cause. Switching to morning dose made such a difference. I do notice I don't sleep well if I take it after noon or 1pm. Some family members had tried it with no success. Give dosage and timing a chance. It has literally saved my life. I still feel emotional at times, but can cope with issues and heaviness in life has eased."


"Not good at all"


"I received a sample of Synjardy and have only been taking it for 4 days.  I started off taking 850mg of Metformin twice a day and 5mg of Glipizide twice a day.  I had good numbers on this, but the Glipizide was causing too many hypo episodes, so my Dr gave me a sample of Synjardy.  The Synjardy has made my numbers more consistently 80-105 and I no longer have any hypo events.  I have also lost 4 pounds in 4 days.  The only negative I have noticed is having to drink and pee more.  It has made me more prone to waking up a little earlier to hit the bathroom, but it hasn't been that bad.  They have a savings card, but my insurance will not cover it at all, so I can't use the card and without that it is $431 a month, which I can not afford."


"I had just taken Diflucan for what I thought was a yeast infection. Then I got a sinus infection and I started taking cephalexin. I noticed 3 days in, some back pain (flank pain just to the left if my spine) I had been having for a few weeks suddenly went away. I went back to the doctor, who agreed that I probably originally had a bladder infection that spread to one of my kidneys. Glad I got the sinus infection or who knows what would have happened. The medication made me feel a little nauseated after the first few days, but it's possible that feeling was related to the sickness."


"Killed the migraine within 30 minutes but sent me to the ER with chest pains, shortness of breath, dizzy, confusion, etc. I experience every "possible" side effect listed. Don't be afraid to take the medicine, but don't be afraid to go to the ER if you experience the side effects."


"I recently was on Prednisone for over a week because I could barely breathe (in spite of taking 500mg of Advair 2/day and Maxair several times a day). Towards the end of my steroids I was still breathing very poorly, but then I started taking Singulair and immediately my breathing became absolutely normal with not one hint of wheezing or breathing difficulty.

Also, my nasal allergies/sinuses have improved considerably since I started Singulair.

On the other hand, I have noticed pain in my ear (possible ear infection) and my mood appears to be a bit more aggressive than it was before taking the Singulair.

Overall, I would highly recommend it."


"I decided to write a review since I did not see anyone mention PCOS.  I have been on Gianvi since October 2009.  It is now June 2011.  I initially took Yaz until I was switched to the generic version, Gianvi.  Both medications have not given me any issues.  My periods are normal, no cramps (I never had any to begin with), reduced acne, and maintained weight.  I have always been an emotional person to some degree.  This hasn't seemed to increase my emotions and I do not get angry or get headaches as some as said.  My only worry is getting blood clots or DVT as I've recently read.  "


"My son started taking this medicine about 9 months ago.  His grades went from C's and D's to A's and B's. He is able to focus and concetrate.  He isn't a zombie walking around the house.  He still has some emotion and can still have fun.  I love this medicine because even he can see the diffence it has made in his life."


"It works for migraine headaches, back pain, osteoarthritis pain.  Using Ultram 50mg to 300mg daily.  When I had surgery I took Ultram 100 mg four times a day and my pain was controlled.  Great medication."


"I always had really severe period pain and I would throw up. So I started a birth control  and it made me feel horrible. I no longer threw up, but it made me severely depressed. I was afraid to try another pill. I started chateal and I didn't gain any weight. I didn't get depressed or break out any more than normal. And I no linger felt pain , I do still get slight nauseous around my period but no where near as bad as before. I have taken this pill a little more than a year and I have not gotten pregnant either. Although I use other precautions as well. My sister is looking for a good birth control and this is the one I've been recommending."


"Initially received this at Urgent Care because I couldn't get into my doctor when my blood pressure was high at a employer mandated check.  I was on it 3 weeks, 2 pills a day at 25 mg each. It brought the BP down by about 20 points.  The side effects were cold feet mid morning, trouble sleeping, and the dosage did not last a full 12 hours.  I could feel the heart slow down at about 1 hour after medicating and then start to speed up again at about 9 hours.  I had to be careful not to take it close to bedtime because it made me feel hyper about 2-3 hours after the dose.  Upon reflection, these side effects were less than some of the other stuff I've taken since."


"I have experienced excessive underarm sweating since my teens and have been so annoyed and embarrassed.  Why didn't I check into this sooner??  This product is amazing!  I agree with other reviewers about the burning/tingling sensation.  When I first started using it about a month ago, I followed the directions and used it for three consecutive nights.  It burned, I won't lie.  It kept me from getting a full night's sleep.  BUT, the results were worth it!  After just one application, it worked!  The next day there was NO wetness.  I now apply it just once a week, and it is still effective for me.  Plus, the burning sensation has never occurred again.  I do find it necessary to apply deodorant (not antiperspirant) in the morning."


"I took Plan B within 24 hours of having unprotected sex. I was 3 weeks away from having my next period. About 1 week after taking Plan B I had spotting for a few days. Then nothing. The date for period came and went and I was very anxious and stressed when I did not get my period. My period finally came 17 days late. Thank god."


"So far I love Nuvigil. I can actually go all day without needing to lay down in the afternoon. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. I may need to bump it up as 150 mgs. does not seem to make me as awake as it did the first week. I like the way it makes me feel awake but not nervous and jittery like Ritalin did. I can now work a shift and actually come home and do chores around the house instead of lay down. I have had no side effects so far and have been on it a month."


"I was started on Strattera almost 3 years ago.  Before taking this medication I was constantly on rabbit trails couldn't finish a project and trying to do 3 or 4 things at the same time, which I wasn't doing very well.  I've probably been ADHD all my life but was not diagnosed until I was 50.  I have gone back to school and work as an inpatient crisis stabilization nurse.  I should be the poster child for this medication because it has been a miracle for me.  I take 100 mg of the medication a day.  The only thing I can complain about is the medication wears off sometimes before I get off of work. This probably could be fixed with a simple medication time and dosage change."


"I was offered 20mg/day of this medication at pain management but was afraid to try it. I had gotten a hold of a few and tried one 10mg pill for extreme fibromyalgia pain because I ran 3 days short on my normal pain meds. 12 hours later and I am still pain free. I'd rather use this once a day than oxycodone 3-4x a day. Mind you, I did extensive research before using the medication. I like the fact that I have been pain free all day without feeling loopy or high. No cravings or discomfort from withdrawing from other pain meds. Would definitely recommend this for anyone with chronic pain or if you just want to detox comfortably."


"I'm 20 years old and am on my third month of Claravis. Since being on the medicine my face is worse than it's ever been before. My acne wasn't severe to begin with, although it was scarring in certain areas. I keep hoping it will get better, but it hasn't yet. I've tried everything else there is to take so I feel like this is my only option."


"It made my boobs bigger, ZERO negative side effects, and my period is practically non-existent. It's my favorite birth control I've ever been on. Most birth controls make me have crazy mood swings and gain weight. This one didn't. I will be using this for life."


"I was excited to try this medicine.  Having 5 hot flashes a night that wake me up. Haven't had any R.E.M. Sleep for a while.  Not sleeping is affecting my exercise and work routine. The only time I don't get hot flashes is when I'm riding my mountain bike.  Biking doesn't pay the bills.  Took my dose before bed, in about 15 min my head felt different like a rush of something then clarity I guess that was the serotonin release.   I thought oh boy I'm gonna sleep.  But not the case.  Unfortunately I must have opposite effects.  I didn't sleep more than 2 hours all night. Had a clear head full of thoughts about stuff I need to do. Still had hot flashes 4 during the night and more in the morning.  And then the nausea in the morning also."


"Just got it inserted yesterday, it was probably the worst pain I have ever experienced.  I wasn't warned to take any pain prevention medication, so it was probably worse than normal. I have had pain and cramps all day. I was spotting before I got it inserted, and yesterday it got kind of worse but today it has lightened. I am hoping that it is not like the implanon where I had my period for a month at a time."


"I just want to share my experience on this drug. I had unprotected sex with my husband, the day after my period ( August 28, 2015 ) Friday. He didn't ejaculate. but we're not ready for a baby yet. so, just to make sure I took Plan B one step the next day ( Saturday, August 29)

At first day, I felt okay, nothing is bothering me. till I felt nauseous, dizzy and I'm having cramps ( assuming that my period would come out again). I just let it and as of the description of the box said that its normal to feel those symptoms.

after 1 week, ( Saturday, September 5th)  I started to have bleeding, I assumed it was my breakthrough bleeding. it lasted for 4-5 days ( like my normal period)

This medication is 100% real and it works for me."


"A week ago I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Due to the increase of my A1c my endo discussed several options for my diabetes. We both decided that Trulicity would be a good try along with an increased dose of Metformin. Was on 1500mg of metformin a day for polycystic ovarian disease. Currently on 2000mg a day plus the once a week Trulicity injection.
The day I started the shot I had an A1c of 8.6 and a glucose reading of 232. Since then and I am through my first week I have not had a glucose reading above 151. I have noticed quite a decrease in appetite and I have no desire to snack. I am colder than I used to be and there has been some mild diahrrea but I can deal with that over the high sugar readings."


"Insertion was painless. Cramping for the next 36 hours was terrible. It has now been 14 months and I'm getting it removed tomorrow. I'm 25 and have acne for the first time ever. I have been mostly eating healthy but am ALWAYS hungry and ALWAYS tired and just icky. I gained 36 lbs when pregnant, had lost 30 in the 3 months after birth. But now with Skyla I've gained back 18 lbs. same exercise, same diet, but now also chasing around a tireless toddler. I also am ALWAYS spotting or on my period. It has helped considerable with my period cramps (they used to be brutal), but still, who wants to constantly be bleeding, bloated, and crampy. I think I just can't handle any dose of hormones. Can't wait for tomorrow."


"I took this medication a couple years ago. Within just a few weeks it was working amazing and my skin was clearing up and looked great!!! I went off the med so that I could go on birth control.  I've had trouble with several birth controls and now 2 years later at the age of 22, I'm not currently on any form of birth control so I started this up again about 3 months ago for my acne. I was on it for 2 months, never missed a dose....and there was not one change in my skin.  I'm sure it all depended on my health 2 yrs ago and now, the different meds i'm on now and wasn't in the past, etc. Several factors could be played as to why it's no longer working for me at this time. So I'd say at least give it a shot because when it did work, IT WORKED!"


"I was prescribed Zoloft when I saw a psychiatrist and described my anxiety when at home, and my very, very bad social anxiety that has left me with virtually no friends and I never leave the house. I was also slightly depressed. At 100mg of Zoloft, it has absolutely no effect on my anxiety. I gave it a 4 because it's improved my energy level and made me a lot less depressed, I just wish it would help what it was prescribed for."


"I started .75 dose in November of 2016. It immediately curbed my appetite and helped me lose 37 lbs by Feb 2017. There is a little stomach discomfort sometimes but its not too bad. There is also constipation for about 3 days each week, but I believe its from the colon not moving anything. The med slows digestion. My experience with the med is positive, much more than with Bydureon. That's was a nightmare. I recently went to a low carb high fat diet and its working even better now. I hope this helps someone out there. PS, And don't let the doc start you on the higher dose. Ask for samples or rebates because most insurers don't cover it."


"The worst BC ever.I have just used it for 3 days and I have headaches and I threw up every single day.Do nothing other than sleeping like a log.This medicine was prescribed to control the abnormal bleeding I had and guess what I have the bleeding + these extra bonuses.Hate this medicine to death.Iam a person with no allergies to anything I know as of now.My body is pretty strong while other people around fall sick I remain totally unaffected.I will rate this medicine a negative not even a zero"


"I sympathize with the anonymous user who has been on the patch for only one month (comments dated 4/24). I have been on this patch for 8-10 years now. Sadly ... Long story short, I went through a lot in the beginning too. I am one of the small percentage of people who needed to change the patch every 48 hours instead of 72 because I was experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms (which is what you are describing) whenever I waited 72 hours. The 48 hours made a difference. However, it isn't a perfect system, there are problems, sweating it off during summer, no more pool, etc. It's not perfect and breakthrough medicines are needed in my case. Long-term use gets tricky, be careful and good luck."


"I took Aftera just 2 hours after unprotected sex. Now, 25 days later, my period is late, I'm nauseous with two positive pregnancy tests .WOW. NOT WORTH IT. PLEASE use PLAN B instead of this. I had no symptoms after taking this (as compared to the cramping and what not from PlanB.)  Aftera probably packs their packages with sugar pills. What a terrible situation to be in."


"I have resisted all medications for 16 years, I have recurrent depressive bouts, followed by a major mental health episode and marriage problem 6 months ago. I have spent 3 months on 20mg of this per day. Managed from week three I began to slowly feel better than I have for years, I am back at work. I just wish I had my libido and less of a weight gain (hence 9 not 10)."


"I don't see a whole lot of reviews from younger men. I am 24 with all the usual symptoms as everyone else, such as no sex drive at all or motivation or energy.  T levels were 260. Got prescribed two pumps a day from the VA...I feel slightly better after about a week but nothing great yet. I feel that I need to go up to at least 6 pumps but I will find out in the beginning of Dec when my next blood work is scheduled, until then I will keep hope that it starts working better."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I have been on Eliquis for 18 months for atrial fib.  I have not experienced any side effects other than I bruise more easily than before.  I had a cryogenic heart ablation performed 8 months ago,  followed up with heart monitoring for 2 weeks.  My surgeon has released me to go off all heart medications as of today (sotolol, Eliquis)."


"I've been on sprintec for three months now. It has made me lose my appetite almost completely. I find myself eating once a day if that because nothing sounds or looks good. I have lost 15 pounds since I started it which is okay unless I keep losing weight. I have no mood swings or cramps and my period is predictable and comes on the same day each month. However, my face broke out insanely the second month and is just now clearing up and I bled/spotted for almost a whole month the second month."


"I have had severe side effects taking the Belsomra & REFUSE to take anymore. I had Very ABNORMAL Dreams where I was fully awake and paralyized in bed. I tried to yell out for my husband and couldn't , I tried moving my arms to get out of bed and felt I was  being held back. One of the worst nights of my life. It had such a Demonic tone about it. I wrote my Doctor and and informed her that I will NOT be taking this medication any longer."


"Without this medication, I wouldn't be able to do all the things that a mum is supposed to do. I've 3 small children and its hard especially with bulging discs and joints that because of wear and tear are so incredibly painful. The only thing is the withdrawal's. I forgot to get my script over the holiday and had no pain relief for 4 days. It was the worst 4 days of my whole entire life. I will never ever put myself through that EVER again. If I could give 1 bit of advice to someone who was starting on this medication it would be only take what you need."


"my hair is falling out by the handful!"


"I have had Implanon in for about a month, I enjoy it because I don't have to remember to protect myself with the pill. However I have been bleeding since it was put in, not heavy bleeding just annoyed with having to wear a tampon everyday, BUT I have 3 kids and cannot afford another! I have not gained any weight but I also exercise 4 to 5 times a week! It's a great birth control so far! I definitely recommend it to woman who already have kids (life gets hectic and you tend to forget to take pills, etc.)."


"This pill was recommended by my OB after removing my birth control implant. I told her my concerns were huge in the weight gain department because any BC I've ever tried I've always gained weight. I took the pill for about 6 months then decided to stop because I was having a hard time losing weight. Once I stopped taking it I didn't get a period for like four months. I went to the doctor & they had to put me on hormones to jump start my period again. I was finally starting to lose weight & get back to normal when I decided to get back on this pill because IT ACTUALLY DID help control my moods. Well. I've been taking it again for like a week & now I'm back to being hungry all the time!!! "


"Greeting from England!  I have been taking this medication for over 5 years now and cannot fault it.  A lot of people think this medicine 'numbs' emotions but it made me feel like a new person.  I only take 50mg, but this has made all the difference to my life.  No side effects at all. CBT was useful as well. I tried Prozac but it had a severe effect on me."


"Good night sleep"


"This is my first time trying birth control. had my IUD placed on the 16th of this month. Insertion was fine; it was quick, and it feels like period cramps when it's being inserted. I felt great the first day, but by the 2nd day, I had TREMENDOUS amounts of pain. I had back pain, abdominal pain, leg pain, and neck pain which I never had before. It got worse as the days passed, and all I could do was lay in bed. I had severe pain which would make me yelp. Intercourse was painful and uncomfortable. I scheduled a follow up appointment because I wasn't able to feel the strings for the past 3-4 days. Appointment was today. Turns out the IUD was partially expelled, but I don't know how long it had been expelled for. I don't recommend this at all."


"The birth control is definitely doing its job at making sure I don't get pregnant, so that's why I gave it some stars.

However, I have been experiencing BAD hair loss and lifeless hair which I have narrowed down to this pill, and have noticed other women mention the same thing.

I also get motion sickness in vehicles if I am not driving.  I have gained 10 pounds since getting on this medication and my diet and expercise regiment has not changed.  My skin was clear to begin with, and I did not end up getting acne from Reclipsen, except for a few pimples right before my period.  My periods are average.  My PMS seems worse than it used to be.  I will be making an appointment to switch my birth control.  I hope this helps someone."


"I've only been on tri-sprintec for a month and I'm already having severe side effects. Nausea, headaches, acne worse than I've ever had in my life, and the worst, severe anxiety and depression.  The second week I experienced suicidal intrusive thoughts that caused me to go into panic attacks. The only upside for me was that it helped my heavy flow and shortened my period from 6 or 7 days to 4 days.

I would much rather live with a long, heavy period than what I went through for a week straight."


"I have been taking 200mgs of Carbatrol every day for 8 years, due to TN. My TN is the typical type, stabbing facial pain. I don't know what I would do without this medication. It allows me to live a normal life without any pain and I have no side effects. Sometimes my insurance asks me to use Tegretol because it's cheaper and has the same main ingredient, but I react horribly to it. I'm lucky to I have a doctor that is willing to advocate for me. Frankly though, I would pay out of pocket for the Carbatrol before I would use a generic. If you have TN and don't have a good reaction to Tegretol I would definitely recommend trying Carbatrol."


"Junel Fe has caused me to be come EXTREMELY emotional and I have gained at least 10 pounds in my stomach area. I feel embarrassed because I am usually a small petite girl. I'm definitely going to call my pharmacist to ask."


"Used this for a month and did not lose any weight. I read some reviews and did not go through any of the symptoms I saw. I gave it 2 stars because aI did notice it suppressed my appetite a little. I refilled and gave it another shot but the next month was more of the same. Went off it a few days, maybe a week, and this morning I took one......... Holy crap I feel like an ice cube. Never been this cold in my life and also been in the bathroom all day with #2 imitating a faucet. I can honestly say, soon as I get out this bed, rest of them are going in the trash. Worst $190 (2 months with discount card) I have ever spent on a weightloss gimmick. Now back to the meal plan and lots of exercise."


"I don't know whats worse the bleeding for 6 months straight or the horrible depression, anxiety, and mood swings. I thought I was crazy luckily me and my friend both got it together and experienced the exact same side effects. So we both knew it was the implanon. The worst mental breakdown of my life. My hormones finally leveled out and I feel like myself again! It took 7 months of mood swings and bleeding nonstop. But I'm starting to feel normal again. I haven't removed it because they keep telling me once your hormones stabilize I'll be fine so I toughed it out. And feel 100% better. I just hope it stays this way."


"I was only on this drug for two weeks and developed Severe swelling, redness and pain to bone above ankle, pain in thumb, reconstructed breasts felt like they were on fire and I cannot feel 4 of my toes in my right foot! I now am wearing a boot on my left foot for the swelling!"


"I have been on it about 2 years . I think just when it came out I started it. I honestly can't tell if it's working but when I don't take it I am agitated. I mean if I forgot . I'd rather not be on drugs because of all the bad side effects but who knows whats happening with all these pills to our bodies . I just hope 20 years down the road they don't find out this stuff was bad"


"This drug is pretty good. I like how 1 dose can last most of the day, but I was on 1mg klonopin after being on 2x2mg lorazepam a day and the klonopin doesn't seem as effective. I like it because it does not cause as much drowsiness as Xanax, but it does make me a lot more drowsy than lorazepam. You can take it once a day for simplicity, but like all benzodiazapines are addictive.

I started suffering bad panic attacks after switching, but I believe that was the mistake of my doctor by not converting the doses correctly."


"Active in my 40's and tried other BPs but they never worked well.  Tried Edarbi by cutting the 40mg in half and taking 20mg/day and BP plummeted to 120/70.  It has a much greater affinity to the angiotensin receptor and for a much longer period than any other ARB which is why it is the best, thus you don't need much for it to work.

Side effects are dizziness if you bend over for a bit and then stand up.  You can get briefly lightheaded so you need to not move to make sure you don't fall down if that happens.  Other than that none but I also take half the lowest dose."


"I had been on generic ropinirole for months and because it was so effective I tolerated severe nausea, nasal congestion, hiccups and flushing because I was desperate to sleep.  When I talked to my neuro he had me switch to name brand based on side effects and it was so bizarre.  The drug works great and with zero side effects.  He said the dosing range that generics are allowed to meet is much too large for some of the neurology drugs and because pharmacy plans frequently switch which generic manufacturer they use it is impossible to avoid dosage problems as well.  The issue for me was also one of side effects from additives that were not in brand Requip but were in the generic.  Hope this helps someone."


"I have been taking this medication for a week now. I had very high hopes after reading all the other reviews.  I am taking it every morning, and so far no weight loss at all.  Although, I haven't had luck on any of the other medicines for weight loss either. "


"Okay so I've avoided this medication for SO long because of these reviews. IDK if you other ladies are allergic to something in the medication or what but my experience was fine! I get recurrent yeast infections so I've tried everything under the sun EXCEPT for
monistat. I've tried terconazole, clotrimazole, boric acid, gentian violet, etc. once I inserted it, I was super itchy for like the first half hour to an hour, then everything calmed down and felt soooo soothing. I woke up just now and feel great! No itching, didn't experience any burning. IDK what all the negativity is about. I'll check back in a few days to see if my infection is cured! have no fear ladies:)"


"I've Been taking Sprintec for a month now  andwhen I started the white pills I spotted for 5 days and my periods got heavier. I bleed for 7 days and its heavy and my emotions are off the wall. I'm really emotional and don't really have a sex drive."


"I've been on it for 6 months and the constant diarrhea and nausea is getting to me.  I need to call my doctor to find a alternative."


"I have been using Clobex spray for nearly 2 years. It is the best so far. My psoriasis is on my scalp, elbows and small spots here  and there on my body.  The Spray is the wonderful, real easy to use for applying to my scalp at odd angels."


"worked well also included Vira - Pak. Moderiba this drug keeps you unable to sleep (very speedy)  My doctor lowered my dose this helped greatly. Manufacturers program, qualified was givin the drugs for free. Thank God of Israel !"


"DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION!!! I have lost at least 50% of my hair! This is horrible. I've had no other changes but this medication."


"Crestor has been the only statin that has lowered my cholesterol and I have been taking statins since they came out. I have had no side effects and rate this drug as # 1 for cholesterol."


"This did not cause any change in my rosacea whatsoever. I was started on 100 mg daily. After one month of no change, I contacted the dermatologist. They increased it to 2 times a day. I did that for about 1 week with no changes and finally said forget it. I'm not going to continue to take medication that doesn't work."


"I've had good experience with this pill so far. I've been taking it almost a year & if I know I'm going to eat something that might trigger an attack, I take it a few minutes before I eat & 9 out of 10 times, I do fine. This is coming from someone that was scared to eat anywhere away from home because my attacks would get so bad. I went to the ER a number of times because I couldn't bare the pain. This has been a miracle pill for me."


"I take lexapro because my wife turns me nuts. Yes, I got depressed because I have been opressed, by her. So I started taking lex, now I don't care about my wife's outrages.  I think it is her that needs it. Also my libido is down. That is a down"


"I took one pill of this as it's supposed to help with treating nausea. At the time, I was experiencing severe nausea and this pill did absolutely nothing to help me. It caused stomach upset, which I find to be really weird. As it is supposed to be designed to get rid of such."


"Gives me noticeable stomach pain on occasion and I only take when I am desperate due to the risk of it causing stomach ulcers/intestinal bleeding in otherwise healthy people.

It works very well to stop joint and menstrual pain though and also relaxes my joints and gives greater flexibility."


"No pain with actual injection or at the injection site.  Heart palpitations, severe leg cramps, bone and joint pain (not severe)."


"I took Hydrazine 50mg on January 11, 2017.  It felt like someone had given me a shot of Morphine. This med messed me up. My heart rate was 122 my chest hurt and I had difficulty breathing. I was dizzy, tired, and sleepy and immediately called my Cardiologist and reported my side effect. I was told to take 50mg of Metoprolol so it would lower my heart rate. My legs and arm muscles hurt and I will never take this medication again."


"Week 5 - I have reached the maximum 3.0 on the injection pen. This is what I have to say about week 5: "so this is what it feels like not to be hungry, always totally obsessed with food and when and what I will be eating next!" Woo Ho! I have had the best week! Been able to eat healthy meals, not pig out, stop when I'm full and feel normal. I have lost about 10 kgs in 5 weeks. I am not exercising - just always busy and active.

For fatigue and energy I take a multi, vitamin C, iron and Berroca when I need it for a boost. I will be getting a prescription to continue with this injection for another month and keep monitoring progress."


"I've been on Lo Loestrin for about 5-6 and my periods are either light or non exsistant which is great! My cramps even lessened and I don't have to take anything for them anymore which is fantastic! However I've been bloated for 6 months so much so that my clothes are tight and it's embarrassing as I work out 4 times a week and am very healthy. My face breaks out all the time now with painful cyst like red dots that never form into a pimple and my face has always been clear. My loved ones are complaining about my short fuse and major crankiness which isn't like me at all. My sex drive is gone and I'm in my early 30s, it like happened over night. I'll be switching to something immediately as I was hoping all this would go away."


"After 4 months I thought I was doing quite well on 10mg Brintellix until I had very bad headaches.  MRI imaging demonstrated I had constricted  blood vessels in my brain a second test showed it had reversed itself. My neurologist strongly advised I discontinue this med because SSRI antidepressants can trigger Reversible Vasoconstriction Syndrome which can cause strokes and brain bleeds.  I started Wellbutrin XL 150mg which doesn't target serotoin I'm told.  I'm not doing as well and sometimes think about taking a chance and restarting Brintellix and at least have a better quality of life!  Depression sucks!"


"Tried patches for back pain due to degenerative disc disease.  The patches had no effect whatsoever.  I currently just take 800mg of ibuprofen every 8-12 hours to get the best relief.  I refuse to take opioids and tramadol is a joke."


"I've been on Kadian for 8 months (car accident 3 years ago, suffering from extensive postural and disc and recently diagnosed PTVS symptoms since). I'm 22 and started feeling able to live my life again after taking Kadian (10mg 2 x day) and it seemed to make my mood better. It no longer works at current dose and doctor won't move up a dose, and doesn't believe in short-acting medicines. First 6 months it really did wonders and gave me a lot of my life back. Constipation is brutal with this medicine - I take Miralax daily with some relief. Withdrawals are horrific."


"Chronic pain"


"I decided to write this review so other women can really research before having an IUD inserted. Tomorrow will be a week since my IUD insertion. The insertion was painful and awful. First Liletta inserted fell off & than I had another put in. My pain never ceased. I have been bloated since insertion, plus I have the urge to urinate often. I had it inserted on a Thursday. Since my doctor told me the pain would last a couple of days, I decided to wait it out but the past weekend was July 4th. To top it off my doctor wasn't there on Yesterday. Today(Wednesday), I finally went in. The IUD was no where to be found. I was sent for an X-ray and sure enough it looks like it either perforated my bladder or uterus. I'm scheduled for surgery in 12hrs"


"Just had Liletta put in today, The procedure didnt take long the pain was bearable but definitely did not feel good. Had some intense cramping for the first few hours been taking 800 mg. Ibuprofen every few hours. I was already on my period when it was inserted so not sure if i bled with insertion or not. Hoping for the best. I did not read up on it at all before hand because I didn't want to chicken out and not get it, and now I have read up on it and I'm seriously hoping I did not make a big mistake I don't need any more weight gain or acne or longer periods."


"I am 11 wks pregnant and after my first OB/GYN appointment they called me with results that I had urinary tract infection. I was shocked because I didn't have any symptoms other than pressure by my bladder which I was relating to the pregnancy. I was prescribed 100mg of Macrobid x 3 days taking 1 capsule every 12 hrs. The first night I took it a couple hours after dinner and went to sleep. BIG MISTAKE! I woke up vomiting ate a bagel right away and took second pill. I felt nauseated all day, tired, and mild headache. The remaining pills I took directly after a full meal and felt a little better. If it wasn't for the medicine only being for 3 days I don't think I could've taken it any longer. I just kept telling myself that if I don't finish it a UTI can be much more serious."


"The best"


"After being placed on Adderall XR 20mg I started getting really bad restless leg syndrome. After doing some research I found out that Adderall, and other amphetamines, can lower the level of magnesium in the body. I found out that chelated magnesium is one of the most bio-available forms. I figured if I was going to spend money on magnesium I might as well get the most bang for my buck. After getting my magnesium from Amazon I happily began taking them. Within 2 days my restless leg was 100% gone. This stuff is amazing. I recently had my levels checked and I am within normal range so that must mean I was indeed deficient. This stuff is amazing. I"


"My accident happened on the 18th ( he came in me no condom) I within an hour ran out and got Take Action pill which is generic for plan B . Next day I had some light spotting that was dark Along with cramps and bloat but nothing excruciating. On the 23rd in the am I started bleeding heavy dark blood . Today the 25 th  and I am still bleeding heavy , this has to be my period . So for me it came just 5 days after the accident. My last normal period was 8/12-8/16. So two periods in a month . But I'm not pregnant . So just relax and let the pill work. I am 26 , 5'2 and 145#."


"I had been on Gildess Fe 1/20 for about 2 and a half years until its recent recall. Like many others on this feed, the pharmacy automatically switched me to Blisovi FE. This pill has ruined my body. I haven't had this much acne on my face since I was a teenager, and I have gained SO much weight in my stomach. I usually work out vigorously 4-6 days/week and seldom eat junk food or fast food, but with the way my body looks, I might as well be sitting on the couch from morning to night eating nothing but pizza and cheeseburgers. I guess this pill prevents pregnancy because no one wants to have sex with a whale. I will be starting Apri after I'm done with this pill pack...the next week CAN NOT come soon enough."


"Recently got back on birth control after many years of not being on it. This pill is okay. It's a contraceptive and does its job, but it wasn't the pill for me. Easy to take by mouth, no big deal. But, the side effects for me were: I would headaches after taking the pill and sometimes randomly during the day. Also, the third week i started the new color, my emotions were off the wall. I wasn't eating properly and was over thinking EVERYTHING. I asked to switch & now will be trying the generic version. Just because this pill wasn't for me, doesn't mean it is for someone else."


"Have had problems with social anxiety since I was a teenager and I must say after trying Paxil, Seroquel, Zoloft and Wellbutrin, Paxil is by far the best. Only big catch is don't miss a dose you will have a panic attack."


"Wonder drug, stops seizures, stops things that can bring on a seizure, stops pain after seizures, stops bad side effects of my other anti-seizure medicines. I could not take any other seizure medicines but Valium helped. Not enough sleep can cause a seizure and Valium helps me sleep."


"Don't know much about gabapetin. Dr hesitated putting mr on it. Find relief  taking Hypericum perf. (From St. John's wort) it is anatural product. When my pain flares up I use it. It usually decreases the pain 50-75 %. It is cheap."


"This has been a miracle for me. I've been on it for two weeks and its already helping. The only thing is I have terr"


"I am a 40 something woman and started this med to control bleeding.  It made me nauseous for the first week then I was fine. My poor husband. Between the 15 pound weight gain and the mood swings I have been quite un-happy! I agree with the other statements that it makes you very depressed.  I struggle with depression and this made it a lot worse.  I would rather go back to bleeding every two weeks than deal with this crap! Starting on something different next week.  Thank you to everyone who also replied.  I don't feel like it is just me.  It is definitely the medicine!   So long Estarylla!!"


"Excellent for opiate withdrawals."


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD. He was having problems at school such as focusing, following directions, sitting still.. etc. We decided to use the Daytrana patch since he isn't able to take pills. This so far is working wonders. He is on his first week and is already showing signs of improvement! I recommend this product."


"Great product. It works great for me."


"I was put on Breo and was amazed on how well I  felt but it didn't last long. My symptoms were getting worse and it wasn't until I had wisdom teeth pulled that I  realized that Breo was making me worse. After having my wisdom teeth pulled out I was scared  to use my inhaler. I was told no straws because the sucking in cold pull stitches out so the day after I didn't use Breo the next day I couldn't belive how well I could breath and each day was even better. I was using my rescue inhaler once every 4/5 hours and I  felt good so even though at first Breo seemed good over time it didn't agree with me. I'm  seeing my respitalogist next week to see what's next for me as the rescue inhaler is not enough."


"A number of doctors told me there was no cure for IBS and that I just needed to watch what I ate. My misery continued for years, until I went to a gastro specialist who put me on this - it nearly cured me. I need to be a little careful with rich and spicy food but otherwise I am effectively cured using a 10mg dose."


"I have received 36 infusions and from the 1st one, my progression stopped. My major side effect is extreme confusion. I feel as if I am going insane and taking my husband of 28 years with me. He is my biggest supporter, my hero, etc. I do not know how I would have made it the past 3 years without him. He is my translator because I get so confused I tell stories totally wrong, I talk backwards. I skip every other sentence but the thing I must keep remembering is that my MRI's have not changed from the day I started Tysabri. I am staying with it for 12 more months and hopefully my wonderful husband, doctor and I will survive this."


"I'm one week in with victoza and my appetite has decreased significantly, having gastroenteritis symptoms on an evening and really bad flatulence! Am eating small meals of bland food to compensate, started on 0.6 dose and will increase in a couple of days to 1.2. Good news am losing weight! No sugar cravings! Will keep you all posted on how it progresses"


"I had a fusion 30 years ago. This has lead to degenerative disc disease. I am only 52 and have the spine of a 100 year old person. I tried every pain reliever in the book over 9 years. I was recently put on the methadone and it has saved my life. I can now walk, stand, sit through a movie with no pain and no side effects. It is a God send for chronic pain."


"I started this medication beginning of 2016, just after new year 2017 I got thrush and still have it today. Didn't realise this could cause thrush until today. Last 11/12 weeks have been terrible, felt like I was going mad with the itching, burning and frequent pain. Couldn't stand, sit or lie down without wanting to rip my skin off. As soon as another tablet is prescribed, I will come off it. Shame, it had brought my sugars down, but did not lose weight."


"I have be prescribed 100mg twice a day for 4sks now and it has been up & down for me. I switched from Lexapro (which worked for a few months than started to fade off & was excited to switch based on the reviews. The first week or so I did notice a difference but I couldn't really judge it because of me just getting off of Lexapro. Now this week has been horrible. I have been extremely irritable, had crazy crying spells, I feel like I felt before taking medication. I feel extremely down, no energy to do anything that use to be fun. My anxiety is through the roof and my friends are telling me that I've been very angry lately. I'm praying that these symptoms pass. I also fee like I have something stuck in my throat all the time."


"This is the worst thing I ever did to myself. Got this in August 2016 got my period beginning of September and it's now December 2nd and I'm STILL have my period from September. To make matters worse I had surgery on November 18th and since then it's been dark nasty and smells. On that note I have an appointment to get it out on December 6th and hopefully my period goes back to normal.

The only reason this birth control works is because who wants to have sex when they have nasty blood coming out of them?!"


"There are times when I can go without going to toilet for 2-3 weeks. I have been to the doctors who just prescribe fibre drinks but they don't work and just cause me to bloat. I have been using dulcolax for the last 10 years because it's the only thing that works. Yes, it does cause stomach cramps and nausea, on occasions I haven't felt pain quite like it, however I would rather go through the cramping for a couple of hours than feel uncomfortable for 2-3 weeks! Once dulcolax has taken its course I feel so much better in myself. No gas, no bloating and back to my normal self. I would advise people with a low pain threshold to avoid taking this medication however if you suffer with constipation as bad as I, then it's definitely worth taking"


"I was put on Fluoxetine 40mg daily due to a particularly bad bout of depression that left me unable to work or even get out of bed. That was over a year ago and it was a GODSEND. I started on 10mg and increased to 40 within a month, close to no side effects (some stomach pain), and the relief of my depression happened within the first week. After a month and a half on it I was feeling great and alive again! It was amazing! After 8 months on the medication, I decided to wean off. That went well, however anxiety started building up again. I believe my condition has now changed. I was put back on Fluoxetine 40mg but felt no relief of my anxiety whatsoever and had to add Ativan to my regimen. I am now exploring other options but it was great!"


"My son is 8 months old. I was in the middle of switching birth controls. My husbands condom broke 13 weeks ago, and I decided to try out Plan B not even 6 hours after sex. HUGE waste of money. I'm now 13 weeks pregnant with my second child at a very young age (even though I am married). I don't have the heart to even consider getting an abortion. My comfort, love, and excitement is slowly growing in this pregnancy... But I was really counting on Plan B to be here for me for this very bad timing.. Plan B One Step is a huge waste of money and sucks."


"It seemed to help my depression and anxiety but the trade off was the side effects I experienced.  If I was a few hours late I would experience significant withdraws that made my anxiety worse than it was.  I had sexual side effects such as lack of sex drive and inability to ejaculate during intercourse.  "


"It works well. I've been on it for 8 months. I think the only bad thing is that I spot before I start the last week of pills. It's not a big deal but it's kind of annoying. I was switched the first month from Lutera to Orsythia and I didn't have any side effects from either. I haven't gained weight, my sex drive is great, and I haven't had any random breakouts. It's a good pill."


"Loperamide is very helpful for diarrhea within 4 (or fewer caplets). It helps with the stomach cramping too. It was also helpful for when I had the stomach flu."


"I had my implanon inserted September 17th 2012. Before that I had a baby June 30th 2012. So im not so sure as to if I have gained weight from this product or from having a baby or even if it's from one or the other and im just overweight.  Anyways I had it removed in February this year 2015. I have to say this is a great form of birth control.  Never got pregnant on it. That was the whole purpose of having it inserted. The reason I decided to have it extracted is due to possible weight gain, mood swings, no period at all, and I did have a lower sex strive. Since I had it removed my mood swings got better,  I have more of a sex strive which I didn't think it was decreasing, and I didn't start my period till after I had my paragard inserted."


"I am finishing my second month of twice per week injections of Enbrel and it had worked wonders for me. I no longer have the plaque Psoriasis and I can finally wear short sleeves without being embarrassed. Going on job interviews was torture in the summer because I always wore long sleeves to hide my embarrassment of the psoriasis. Even some of my patients asked me if I was contagious because the scales got so bad. I am a nurse so giving the injections to myself was a whole lot different then giving shots to my patients.  I rotate the sites around my body and have not had any site reactions.  I don't think I've had any bad reactions to Enbrel and I hope I never do. As long as it keeps working I will keep taking the injections."


"So I had my first injections one year ago, worked great. Be sure you know what your paying and when (so there is no sticker shock). My Doc suggested a one time injection this time around, so I'm going with his recomendation (they charge per visit for X3). I would like to share one knee, torn meniscus one week (after year had expired) waited two week for recoup, other knee went after the two week. So I'm wait for pre-authorization for the shots for both knee's. Down the road I am probably looking at knee replacement, but don't want to get cut until all other options are exausted."


"I was on accutane (isotretinoin) from December 2015 to July 2016. I had severe acne all over my face, chest, back, and shoulders. Post-accutane my skin was clear as water and I got so many compliments on my skin. My skin was clear and I never got one pimple until mid April 2017 I noticed pimples reappearing on my skin. I got in touch with my derm and she prescribed me tretinoin 0.025% and a face wash- sodium  sulfacetamide with salycic acid. I am now on 0.05% and I have been on the gel for a little over 8 weeks. I have seen significant improvement since I started and I did experience about a month and a half of initial breakout. I highly recommend this gel and don't give up! It takes time and my skin is still clearing up. Patience!!!!!"


"I posted below. Been taking since Sept, I take 50ml x3 at night although presp says 3 a day. Sleep like a baby, no pain still, and wake refreshed. At first it might make u feel little drunk in am, just silly, nothing bad. Still working and a lifesaver! I needed to update on the free prescription, it's Pfizer website and goto patient presp program. Fill out info along w required things, mail it, in 2 weeks u get letter if accepted, then prsp comes by FedEx! U have to call close to running out each month so that Pfizer can fedex u your refill! Got mine paid for a year! Otherwise it's $400 for 90 pills. I get 50ml free from Pfizer a 90 day supply! Thank you Pfizer!"


"I thought it was a placebo until I tried not taking it.  It is a miracle drug that worked for me in 2 doses."


"I am 52 years old and after having difficulty with urinary flow, multiple bathroom trips per night , I finally went to the doctor for the dreaded check.  After no serious issues were found, my doctor suggested Rapaflo.  He forewarned me about the anejaculation, but said I would still have the sensation associated with ejaculation.  After about a month, the sensation has ceased to exist. "


"After having a spinal cord injury, I was placed on very high doses of Pxycontin.  The "long term" pain management plan was for me to continue on Pxycontin and at some point move down to Percocet.  Indefinitely I guess.

Oxycontin made me feel horrible.  I just wanted to sleep all the time. The pain wasn't as bad, but then again, nothing else was either...I was a walking zombie.

I was finally referred to a doctor that had used Suboxone to treat long term pain issues.  Within one week of starting Suboxone, I felt like I had my life back.

I was able to wean down to a dose that works for me, and have no plans of discontinuing use. "


"Have had best results with sugar spikes with this medication. Love it."


"I have taken Paxil 10mg for 6 weeks for chronic post traumatic stress disorder. It has helped a lot already decreased my anxiety about 20%. I'm going to try to go up to 20mg and see how much that works, because my anxiety is still moderately high. The only side effect I got from it is sedation, I can take it and soon after I take it I fall asleep. It has also helped my depression, I can now start to function again. With this Paxil I'm almost out of my depression. I also took Celexa before Paxil and it worked for about a year and that was it, so that's why I'm on Paxil now, and it works 10 times better than Celexa."


"Paxil does help with depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. It makes you lose weight but the weight comes back fast when you stop taking it."


"This is my first time ever trying adipex. Today 2/28/16 was my start day n I took 1 pill around 7:00am n I'm usually not a breakfast person bout I was told to at least eat something so I ate yogurt.....I am 27, 5'3 n my start weight is 247.4, a size 18 or 2x-3x . My startup goal is to at least lose 30lbs.  And get down to 14-16. I plan on dieting, trying to eat healthier at least a 1200 calories, and I'm trying the lean shakes I plan on going to the gym/walking the track Mon-Friday. And doing home excercises on weekends....this is my first time ever dieting n trying to lose weight....I am doing this to feel better about myself...I am looking forward to this weight lose journey n with motivation n determination I know I can do it.weighin update Sunday"


"Good so far.  This is my first use of the 180mg tablet.  Since this has been a mild winter, I have been fighting allergies and bronchitis for months.  Tussionex and Cheratussin neither one worked.  I'm still coughing, but not at much.  The only problem is, I can't go to sleep at night."


"This is my first attempt at a depression medication.  I am a 42 year old male, married with 3 kids a full time job and run two businesses.  My main issue is slight depression but more stress and agitation with kids along with some anxiety.  It has been 6 days that I have been on 10mgs and I am very pleased (mostly).  By day 2 I noticed I was not as easily agitated and less stressful, a wonderful thing!  However there are 2 side effects that I am noticing, restless legs syndrome and insomnia.  The two are enough that I did not take my pill this morning, hoping to get some sleep tonight. "


"My only real problem with my bipolar disorder is my aggressiveness and this medicine like the other 13 I've been on does nothing for it."


"Valtrex has been a life saver in relation

to recurring shingles. It reduces the pain and inflammation and duration of the outbreak."


"I am very displeased. I started cryselle because my previous birth control wasn't strong enough to stop bleeding caused by endometriosis. This drug made me very sad, depressed and angry and I had a lot of mood swings. On top of all of that, I gained 14 pounds in a month. What fun."


"Works very well for migraines. "


"Works great. Take as directed."


"Used the patch for my first cruise as I normally suffer from motion Sickness..I only got dry mouth and blurred vision but most people think this is from the patch when in fact its from your fingers after you have touched it or placed it you must always wash your hands as people do tend to scratch or touch eyes and the medication is transferred that was far more than a side effect via the application. I would never go on a cruise without it..Works a treat and can easily last for 4 days. I would highly recommend it."


"One day at work I felt an explosion in my head after that i thought that undercover cops were watching me following me couldn't sleep at all eventually had a psychotic break Checked in to Psycho ward released and prescribed Zyprexa. After gaining about 50 pounds and feeling like a zombie I tried latuda within a couple weeks started to feel better. I had much more energy sleeping a normal 6-8 hours wakeing up refreshed and ready to take on the day,confidence back able to go out in public.after a few months with an active life style all the weight i had gained on zyprexa fell off. normal again Great.  Side Effects: memory loss,dry mouth. Dose:20 mg night"


"I start taking phentermine Dec 16, 2015 my start weight was 254 as of Dec 31, 2015 I'm 237 I work out and eat right that's 17 pounds in 8 days my goal is too be 180 or 175 by end of February"


"I have severe depression and general anxiety disorder.  I take 100mg/day of Zoloft, and that pretty well takes care of my depression, and most of my panic attacks.  Occasionally, I'll take 0.25mg for a panic attack, but I'm cautious because sometimes the downside of coming off a panic attack sends me into a fit of depression.  I highly recommend both Zoloft and Xanax, I just want to put the word out there to use good judgement when treating a panic attack when you have depression as well."


"Non stop bleeding for months"


"I'm 58 & have smoked for 40 yrs. 1 1/2-2 packs a day. I'm on my 3rd month & still smoking 5-7 a day.  I have to quit but don't want to.  I'm a 6 month breast cancer survivor and they took away my hormones that I've been on for 30 yrs. So in the last 6 months I've had a lumpectomy, 7 wks of radiation, no hormones and am trying to quit smoking.  Needless to say the doctor gave me a prescription for depression. Now I'm gaining weight because I'm not smoking.  I expected Chantix to be a miracle pill, but now I realize it won't work unless I truly want to quit.  I REFUSE TO GIVE UP AND WILL CONTINUE WITH CHANTIX UNTIL I QUIT."


"I have been taking Pristiq for about 5 months now and after an initial positive reaction...it has let me down.  After about 2 months my dosage was increase from 50mg to 100mg.  All was well for another short time until a massive and quick weight gain began (25lbs). I was constantly tired but a complete insomniac. Neck and jaw tightening were also a constant.  My dose was lowered back to 50mg which helped, again for only a short time. I am now on my 4th day off the drug and feel "crashed". Wishing everyone the best."


"Great."


"Been on it for about 5 years now.
Cleared my acne that I had on my face, chest, and back. Still have small breakouts here and there but nothing compared to before I was on it. I have gained a small amount of weight but not bad weight, I love it! Lol I have unprotected sex with my husband that I've been with for 6 years and haven't gotten pregnant lol"


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


"This product is a lifesaver! I use Duac at night in combination with Differin in the morning and Sumadan wash before I apply both, and it has done wonders for my skin. I broke out terribly last year (I was 15 then) with huge white heads and bumps all across my forehead and T-zone, and the occasional chin zit. I began using this in June and by the end of the summer my acne was COMPLETELY gone. Aside from being slightly drying (which is totally fine so long as you use a moisturizer 30 minutes after applying)  this medicine is wonderful. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone struggling with moderate to severe acne, but don't be disappointed if it doesn't work right away like it did for me. Also, the tube lasted me forever! Almost 9 months."


"Works great! Lost 10 pounds in two weeks. Also gives me energy to do things like play with my kids when I would normally be too tired."


"I have ovarian cysts. I LOVE Lo Loestrin Fe. I have been through multiple other birth control pills and they all had bad side effects for me, either making me sick or making my periods last longer than they should. The first month I started Lo Loestrin Fe was a bit rocky as I had a 2 week period, but since then I have had either VERY light periods or no periods at all, and little to no cramping (which before was a BIG issue with me) the only things that might possibly be a negative for me is I've gained about 6 lbs but most of that went to my breasts so no complaints there, and the cost is ridiculous as my insurance doesn't cover it. But I started taking it because I had ovarian cysts, which it seems to have cleared up."


"I have used Phentermine after both of my babies to lose the baby weight. The first time I lost 30 pounds in 5 months. This time it has only been 8 days and I've already lost 11 pounds! I have never experienced any negative side effects, I am thirsty and drink a ton of water, I have zero appetite so I have to force myself to eat, but I also feel energized, focused and extremely happy while on Phentermine. I always recommend this to my mommy friends who want to lose their baby weight as well."


"I've been on Lutera 28 for a year now. I've noticed how if I'm late taking my pill each day, even by two hours, I'll spot or even start my period early. MAJOR mood swings and depression. Some days I think I'm loosing my mind. It's effective in preventing pregnancy, however I've completely LOST my libido. If you're considering taking this pill, I would look into other BC options besides this one."


"Started taking Belviq 3 and half months ago, I've lost 34 pounds as of today. My obesity is due to emotional eating, eating when not hungry, eating too many calories, greasy junk food, and eating late at night and sometimes in the middle of the night, pigging out to help me sleep. Belviq currently is my holy grail, and I hope to be able to take it the rest of my life, it helps me sleep, and definitely curbs my pigging out. I use Belviq in combination with a FitBit. I count calories watch what I eat, almost completely cut out carbs (except for up to 6 saltine crackers). I have arthritis, I'm 67 and somewhat limited in exercising. If I could lose a lot of weight it would reduce the pressure on my hips and knees. Perhaps then I could walk more."


"I was put on this pill to regulate my period but I was on my period when the doctor gave it to me. I have not stopped bleeding for 3 weeks straight. I started the pill a week ago and I find it gets worse the cramps the bleeding and blood clots. I'm emotionally drained and tired all the time and feel sick. I've been on a birth control to stop bleeding before and it worked within 2 to 3 days. I don't know when I'm going to stop bleeding hopefully soon. I'm getting so tired of it. I just want to feel normal again."


"I stared taking this drug for BV, even though I didn't really have symptoms of it but my doctor tested me and it was present. I had HORRIBLE diarrhea, nausea, back pain, and tiredness. I would take it with a full meal and bread everytime but my stomach was still upset. I am on my 4th day out of 8 and I hope I can handle taking the rest of the pills. Take with a huge meal and lots of bread or crackers and hope it doesn't make you sick!"

"I have been taking 600mg Aptiom for 3 months and I cannot function!! Dizzy, nervous and unable to consistently function.  I am tired and never want to go anywhere. Now I'm starting Keppra and Aptiom low doses and will see how that works.  I'm miserable.... Unhappy....and NOT MYSELF!  Will keep you posted

...11/1/2016 (in the hospital)"


"I cannot describe how life changing this medication has been for me. I've been suffering from anxiety/depression, specifically social anxiety and low self esteem, my whole life. It was at a point where I thought it was normal to be negative, pessimistic, anxious and depressed all the time. I tried EVERYTHING including therapy, exercise, diet and an array of medicines and nothing worked. I nearly developed an addiction to Xanax just trying to combat the anxiety. Prozac, lexapro, Concerta, stratera; Nothing worked. Finally got introduced to Effexor XR. Started on 75mg for 2 months, I wasn't that satisfied. I got put on 150mg for 2 months then. CANNOT BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE. I'm happy, confident and positive. AMAZING. Long may it last."


"I developed dry cough for 6 days after having a sore throat. Not being able to sleep at all for almost a week, I finally went to see a doctor. He prescribed 10mg Clarintin and claimed I have post nasal drip, I was skeptical since I didn't have nose issue but took it since I don't want to doubt his professionalism, true enough I was still coughing the following 2 days which made me even more cranky due to the lacked of sleep. Thanks to everyone on this site, I found hope and call the doctor back to ask him for Benzonatate 200mg. After taking for 2 days and three times a day, I was finally sleeping! Remember that this drug works best for dry cough like one of the reviewer said and wet cough might not see result as quickly or as effectively!"


"I just got my 3rd shoot.  I feel miserable. back, arm, legs pain, headaches,  gain weight,  along with others side effects

I WILL STOP this prolia treatment"


"10 MONTH RETIN-A USER :
In the begining of summer 2013 I had the worst break out ever! My forehead was full of pimples. I couldn't stand it anymore so I went to go see my doctor and he prescribed me Retin-A. It says to apply everyday over night after washing your face. So I applied it every night and the first three weeks my acne was okay by the second month I had another mild breakout but by the third month it began to calm down again. By the fourth the skin around my nose started to peel and it was very itchy. Because of this I applied alchol free/ fragrance free lotion and my skin got better. By the 6th month my acne was under control! I only had a couple of pimples here & there. But the product works wonders! It just takes patience!"


"Wow! I am 14 years old, my excessive sweating started at age 10 or 11. It's just been getting worse as becoming a teen. I would only ever wear black shirts to school. I spent every single day, for years worrying all day at school, "Will I sweat all through my sweater?" in class. It was miserable. 4 Days ago, I told a doctor, he told me to go get 'Extra Strong Drysol 35ml' And Oh My Goodness! Thank you Drysol. I have used it every night for the last three nights. Right at this moment, I'm wearing a tight blue shirt, that would be the worst to wear for sweating. I don't see a single drop!"


"While Vyvanse worked relatively well for my ADHD symptoms, it did not last nearly as long as advertised. It only lasted about seven hours at best."


"I got Implanon August of 2008 after the birth of my first. By December 2009 I had gained 65 LBS. Because I was in the army at the time I had to eat right and do the best I could to lose this weight. 65 lbs in 4 months is crazy. I just got it taken out it was a little painful but its well worth the pain. I have had it out for 11 days now and I have lost 6 LBS not trying at all. I feel so much better now. "


"After years of hell and sensitivity to so many meds, paroxetine, fluoxetine, venlafaxine, citalopram, amytriptiline, carbamazepine, lithium, sodium valporate, lamotrigine...finally...finally...im on Duloxetine and its working with No side effects...no sweats, no vomiting, no stomach cramps, jaw clenching, loss of sex drive...I cannot believe its actually working and both lifting my mood and killing the pain "


"Great help on stopping pain medicines. This works wonders if taken right."


"Yaz has been a complete lifesaver. I used to suffer with heavy bleeding and cramps that had me bedridden. I've been on Yaz since 16 and I don't regret it at all. I have absolutely no side effects and there is no complications with my health either. If you're a first timer - Yaz is the way to go."


"This worked very well for me.  I had a hard time after my mother died and this worked wonders."


"I've got a really great relationship with my GI & I wanted to share what he told me since I've had a LIFEcHANGING experience with Viberzi!!

1 - there are drugs it interacts with that would mean you need to be careful, not take them together, or take a lower dose of Viberzi than the regular recommendation. I think they are mostly antibacterial meds, it's listed in the drug info but I think a lot of people over look that.

2- you can't drink alcohol! I haven't had a drink in 15 years because it affects my BM's, but the drug states you should not drink while taking it.

3 - COPAY card is a MUST! It makes drug $30, and when my insurance denied it because it was new, the company PAID for the drug for me & it paid off my deductible

Thank you!"


"It's the only ADD med that actually works for me. The higher the dose the clearer I think (male 5'11 185). However, if my dose is over 40mg (I've taken as much as a 100mg) then I get erectile dysfunction, penis shrinkage and dry mouth. Once I lowered my dose to 40mg I stopped concentrating as good but the side effects went away too."


"Did exactly what it was suppose to! Thank you for giving me period provera! Now I have a beautiful daughter"


"On the 10 day of 30 mg.  I woke to a miracle .  No chronic pain in my whole entire body for the first time in years.  For years I suffered hour after hour with  4 and 5 in my back. Body pain so bad I was on Norco for years.  Nothing has been more effective to my pain and depression as this medicine.  I hope more physicians prescribe this medicine for these reasons.  I have my life back."


"Nothing to say except fabulous."


"I have been on contrave for 4 months and have only lost 10 pounds..  Initially I had no side effects and I did experience a loss of appetite....  A week ago I started to get nauseous and dizzy, so I am going to lower myself off this medication...  I am hoping once I go off my appetite doesn’t come back but I can’t be dizzy driving for my job daily :("


"I have been taking Ambien on and off for 8 years for severe insomnia, mostly related to anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder. Over time my body has built up a dependence and a tolerance. I will lay awake till 5 am if I don't take it miserable and exhausted for days. The generic doesn't seen to work as well and since I have been on it so long I usually have to take 20mg to get a full nights sleep, but with certain generics I still wake up at 3am and can't go back to bed. It has been a God send over the years as I tried everything else. I was treated for depression but those medications made it harder to sleep. At some point I would like to stop being dependent on the medicine but every time I try to quit I go through weeks of with no sleep."


"My experience with this drug is a bitter sweet one. However, the bitter side to it overpowers the sweet by LONG SHOT. Since I was a kid, I've had behavioral issues and it wasn't until I was in my mid teens that they began to truly effect my way of life and my relationships with those around me. I had been taking Bupropion in combination with Sertraline and had no serious problem or complaints. However, when I started to wean off of the Sertral and began taking the Strattera, I began to get irritated and just downright pissed off for no apparent reason. The slightest things set me off, and it's only gotten worse with increased dosage. I'm gonna stop taking it all together. Screw a bunch of this unprovoked anger stuff. It helps no one."


"I have been on Xatral XR for 3 months and still have 6months of xatral XR to go. I take it once a day to relax my bladder neck. This bladder neck problem causes chronic pain in my testicles and sometimes in my penis.  This is the bigger problem for me.  Slow urination has improved well over the 3 months using xatral, and I hope the testicle pain will go away one day and I can walk normally again.  I used to take arcoxia and other NSAIDs as well, but pain has reduced and I just bear it.

Xatral can make me dizzy when I suddenly stand, but got used to it. However, I took a glass of champagne yesterday and I felt the dizzy spell like tenfold.  I could only see white spots and not much color for 30 minutes. I'll never drink again while on xatral"


"Relieved my swollen and extremely itchy eyes right away. I've been developing conjunctivitis during the worst pollen seasons--very relieved to have a fix."


"Took it due to heavy, long periods. Technically, it did help. My periods went from 7 to 8 days to 4 or 5, and bleeding was cut down to a third of what it was before. Also, it really helped with my ance. However, that's where the good stuff ends. I experienced HORRIBLE mensual pains at least 7 days before my period that would last until it's end. I experienced depression worse than I ever had before during my entire time on the pill (about 7 months). The first 3 months were also a nightmare with nausea, migraines, and constant bleeding. Overall, if your gyno suggests this to you to help heavy periods, ask for a lower estrogen birth control. This pill isn't worth the trauma."


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


"The first month was ok,  but this is my second month of use, and I started bleeding (moderately) in the second week of the pill pack! No fair! I should be into the "no bleeding zone" right now! I am less than thrilled. I feel gross, bloated, and have cramping and  low back pain. I am only on the pill to keep regular, to avoid anemia, but this month it's doing just the opposite! I don't know if I should stay on it and give it more time, or go to something else. Ugh!"


"My son is 13 and has been on several ADHD medications.  I liked the Vyvance at first because I did see an improvement in his ability to sit and listen and pay attention, however it didn't last long enough.  The doctor has increased the dosage several time and now he is up to 60mg daily. The problem is that he has lost over 20lbs because he simply won't eat and now it seems after four months on this medicine its like his body has adapted to it and he is super hyper.  I spoke to the doctor about it and he said he can do real damage at his age with the weight loss and not eating and that the stimulant is actually wiring him up.  We are going to take him off of the Vyvanse and put him on a non stimulant medication."


"I took 50mg for anxiety yesterday, about an hour later started feeling really weird, spaced out and nervy. Spent all night tossing and turning, sweating and unable to sleep. Persevered this morning with the next dose as didn't want to give up at the first hurdle, but today I've felt even worse: depressed, anxious, sweating, pounding heart and extremely nauseous, I've completely lost my appetite and can't even face water. Been told could be 4-6 weeks of this before meds kick in. No thanks, I'm going to stop them and try St John's Wort."


"I have had the nexplanon since October 10 and I finally get it took out Monday. I would not recommend this to anyone I have gained so much weight this is the most I weighed every in my life I eat healthy plus work out and noth change. I come on and go off every now and then. I can't wait to get off!!!!!"


"My 12 year old daughter and myself use the medication. It starts to work  immediately. "


"I have been taking this drug for about 2 weeks, and it is a miracle in a bottle as far as I'm concerned.   I've been battling IBS-D for 10  years and never really sought treatment until recently.  Frequent and very urgent BMs for years to varying degrees.  Very sensitive to spicy food.  Always on the lookout for the next restroom... With Viberzi I'm down to time 1-2 per day and solid!  I haven't experienced any side effects as others have mentioned.  My Dr has tried a few other drugs, this is the first that worked for me.  The discount program worked for me.  Worth a try if you have IBS-D."
