"I have suffered with fatigue and joint and muscle pain and restless leg syndrome for ten years. Used Ibuprofen which only helped a small bit, I finally said enough is enough and went the doctor and told them to give me something for the pain. I felt like I was losing my mind and I just said I know I have fibromyalgia and I can't take it anymore. She gave me antidepressants and a muscle relaxer and Tramadol. I only felt doped up with the antidepressant and the muscle relaxer but the Tramadol was awesome. I am now able to work pain free and exercise, I have lost 40 lbs since I started taking it and I feel more normal. I don't think I can deal with the pain again. I take the 50mg tab 1 every 5 to 6 hours."


"I took Saphris for the first time recently. First I was sad, then couldn't sleep, then paranoid and went into psychosis. Was told it wasn't very sedating. Much prefer Seroquel!"


"Started taking for acne. It helped a lot the first three weeks but the second I had my period it's like I might as well not even be taking the oracea because I see little to no difference. I get diarrhea and upset stomach in addition to taking this medication. For me, I'll probably need to take a stronger medicine."


"This is AWFUL!! I've had YIs before and used the miconazole 7 and never had such itching!! Oh my goodness! I swear, they must have changed something in it. I'm on my first night and I'm not sure if I can stick this out for 6 more days. I'm a little over 35 weeks pregnant and really don't want to keep the infection going, but this is just too much!! Definitely calling my OB in the morning!!! I do not recommend this AT ALL. after this, I'll stick to eating yogurt on a daily basis and hope that will help prevent this from happening again. I'd rather eat yogurt than having my vag feel like it's being caught on fire!"


"I am almost done w 4th week of 10mg and I feel so much calmer. Before I couldn't look at my husband without scowling at him. Anxiety and anger hit me hard in this economy. And I look back and see how irrational I was... And what a great man for putting up me. I even look at my children in a better light. I have been one of those people who has never wanted to be "one of them pill poppers", but at 36 I can see myself as me again and am thankful for Paxil. It took a bit over 2 weeks to kick into me! I realized it was working when for days the normal little things that bugged me no longer angered me or created anxiety. I breathe easier."


"These eye drops are great for relief of allergy symptoms. Keep in the fridge for maximum relief.  The only issue I have had with them is that when I stopped using them my symptoms came back worse then when I started."


"I had my skyla put in May 2015. I have had it almost two years and can say that it was the best choice I could have made. When I first got it I did experience a lot of pain, for at least a month I had very bad cramps and mood swings. Two years later I don't even know it's there. I would very strongly recommend!"


"it does help"


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"Didn't seem to lower my heart rate very much, except when I tried to walk around in physical therapy class.  Then it caused a severe drop in my heart rate, from about 95 in the relaxed sitting position, to below the 50s when I walked a few yards.  Bradycardia is a documented side effect, and unfortunately one I suffered from.  Also had lots of goosebumps, tingling scalp, chills and flushing throughout the day.  I'm not totally knocking it, because I know it works for some POTS patients, but it wasn't the medicine for me."


"when I was 14 years old and have been getting acne for a little under a year, so when my dermatologist recommended solodyn, I was very pleased, but being on this medication for less than a week, I have to say I would not recommend it. The joint pain I got in my knee was unbearable, and it also gave me random anxiety attacks, as well as mild depression. Very disappointed:("


"Works well if you go straight to bed. If you stay up past 30 minutes you are fighting it. Just let the feeling hit you and go to bed.  I have taken two 10mg tabs in about 30 mins and apparently made constant calls to my wife at work. When she came home I asked her "What are you talking about?" I still have no memory of that incident. So now I only take 1 and try to go straight to bed. "


"changed to Yasmin after using levest for 2 months and breaking out horribly. It didn't really make a difference, I thought it would just be due to the settling in period but I've been on yasmin for four months now. my skin only started to get better towards the end of the third month. I've only really seen a significant difference now I've been using duac for a couple of weeks (I used duac two years ago to clear my skin). I started using duac again during my break week so didn't know whether using the pill and duac together would work. A couple days after I finished my break week I broke out immediately around my chin (where hormonal acne usually is). Also, although my skin is now almost smooth it's marked badly!! :("


"I have been on Riclipsen for just about a year and since I've been on it I've experienced weight gain (9 pounds),  mood swings, and very very emotional. This pill made me cry for every single little thing, and I mean cry like someone had died. I've always had mild acne and it did not help it what's so ever. I've always had heavy periods and it helped with them. Kept me from getting pregnant but that was about it."


"I have been on the Depo shot for 14 years, and it was a lifesaver for me. My doctor put me on it because I had PMS so bad, I could not live a normal life.  I have never had another period and no side effects.  I have not had a bone density test but would like to do so.  I just recently read that 2 years was all you should stay on it, I didn't know that before and was not told that by my doctor.  I think it's great."


"I ruptured L5/S1 disc at work (I'm 58 years old).  Nothing seemed to  help with the pain until I asked about Gabapentin and started taking 300 mg three times a day along with Ibuprofen 600 mg.   It does help a lot but only when I combine it with Ibuprofen...without I really don't get relief.  It does take some time for your body to adjust to it - I felt very foggy, and drugged.  I had trouble forming sentences for almost 2 weeks.  It's a lot better now."


"My wife was administered Compazine after receiving chemo to relieve nausea symptoms. Within 12 hours, she became restless, irritable, felt like her muscles were being ripped out of her body, it caused her to have a 103 fever and diarrhea, coupled with the chemo almost killed her. She ended up in the ICU unconscious and almost died. Our team of doctors told us the was a rare occurrence. From reading the other reviews, and witnessing this first-had. I would advise anyone, if offered this drug to decline. It was truly the biggest nightmare of my wife's life. On the scale of 1-10 above this survey asked to select how effective this medicine was. Therefor we would give it a 0=ZERO."


"Had a myelogram on a Friday. By Sunday I had the worst headache in my life! Tried to get through the pain but by Monday morning I was told to go to ER. I told them I had a spinal headache, not my typical migraine. They gave me IV fentanyl which calmed it for 20 minutes. They then gave me the 'cocktail' of Benadryl, Reglan, and Toradol. Within minutes I was shaking violently and couldn't control it. It made me so nauseated. I thought I was going to either have a seizure or a heart attack! It didn't give me any relief at all- not even sleepy. After several unsuccessful pages to anesthesia for a blood patch, I said I had enough and wanted out of there (after more than 6 hours in the ER)."


"I got Liletta inserted in Dec 2015 after being on problem free (for me at least) NuvaRing for 9 years but wanted less estrogen in my BC.
I’m 27yo, 5’1”, approx 115 pounds, half marathoner.
Pros: No weight gain, stopped periods
Cons: daily headaches, chronic yeast infections (11 months!),  diagnosed w/chronic migraines, severe anxiety, panic attacks, and  brain fog so severe for over a month that Drs thought I was having seizures in my sleep/tumor/MS/etc. , strings made for occasional painful sex for my SO
I saw my GP last week who is convinced Liletta has caused my issues. Had my GYN remove it 19Jun17 and fingers crossed I feel like myself soon"


"I was on this medication for having my period non stop for 6 months. IT MADE ME BLEED MORE! I became anemic. I stopped after 1 month. It made me emotional and I gained about 10 pounds."


"Was almost instant relief and only used it for a day to stop a long nagging cough. I get it every winter."


"I have had trouble with cramping in my stomach and having the urge to use the restroom 5 times a day sometimes diarrhea and sometimes nothing . It was getting to the point where when I would lay down at night, my stomach would start cramping. I eventually had gotten under the grips of anxiety I figured I was WAY too young to have all these complications (I am 19 yrs. old.) so I went to the doctor and told him about my anxiety, stomach cramps, etc. He prescribed me Zoloft and Ativan. They didn't help at all and I finally hit rock bottom. I went back to the doctor and he prescribed me Bentyl. This drug is a miracle. I finally feel like I can live and breathe again! I don't have the worries like I had before. THANK YOU BENTYL!!!!!"


"My RA med stripped my Immune System. I was getting sick every mth. My antibody levels were literally going down in sequence over time (5,4,3,2,1..).  Then after 3 months on Hizentria (20%,10mg,50cc, once weekly), the jump in all of my numbers's was AMAZING! Ex: neg/0 up to 7/8!, etc. I'm NOT getting sick every month! Bonus, they have the BEST Patient Support Programs I've ever seen! From P2P support, Monthly CoPay Asst, even some coverage Help if Insurance is Lost!, etc!"


"My Cardiologist prescribed Azor over Enalapril.  In less than a week, I ended up at the hospital with several headaches, tremendous constipation, fainting spells, etc.  Azor is extremely expensive; it might do the job of controlling the blood pressure.  At the same time, it gives the patient 5,000 different side effects.  It should be taken off the market.  Thank you."


"I had been using Ziidra for approximately two weeks when I had a very Acute Asthma attack that has now lasted over eight weeks. I am still very short of breath, having attacks, and I have had to spend a fortune on emergency care, meds, a nebulizer, a HEPA air filter, a HEPA sealed vacuum, and cleaning help. Then three days ago a friend said that she had started using Ziidra an that it had caused severe worsening of her Asthma. It had not even occurred to me that the drops could have been the cause. I stopped them immediately and it remains to be seen if what now seems to be Chronic Severe Asthma will calm down. I had never had anything but situational Asthma before, which a puff of a rescue inhaler would relieve immediately."


"I have been prescribed all types of sleeping aides and have found this to work the best.  I seem to have "hangovers" from most of the other meds, or they stop working.  I can take this at any time of the night and wake up feeling refreshed."


"This drug is great, however the first two weeks I had trouble staying awake in the morning and at night. I also had trouble waking up in the morning the first week. Once that was over though, I felt like my old self."


"I'm a retired land surveyor that worked for many years in Florida. I have been searching for this name of this medicine for years.  My condition had returned after 30  years and I account that to the Michigan swamps 5 years ago.  Well I'll say short of cutting off your lower torso, nothing works on this condition.  Dermatologists, doctors and MD's all give the standard non hydro-creams and powders.  They only head the danger times but do not cure. Vietnam Vet pharmacist help me out on Fulvicin.  Now I must spell it for my Michigan Doctor. GOD bless those who served."


"For several months suffered debilitating migraines daily. My tongue went numb on the right side arms going dead on a night. I suffer with chiari malformation and a brain cyst multiple issues. Ok received 5mg of this today only took 5mg and my brain pressure relieved within 1 hour. Its the first time in months I've felt at ease. Doctors won't accept I've issues with chiari and the brain cyst and are refusing a brain scan follow up. I have the feeling of my brain dropping 50 times an hour mainly on a night. I'm really hoping the brain drop feeling relieves tonight while sleeping. I'VE HAD A GOOD 6 HOURS FIRST TIME IN NEARLY 16 MONTHS! A blessing is this for me..."


"I have chronic interstitial cystitis (not sure on spelling) also called painful bladder syndrome.  It is like a urinary tract infection times 10. I have to go to bathroom any where from every 30 minutes up to 2 times every 2 hours. So it can be a problem if I'm away from home. If I take my Xanax 0.5mg, I usually don't have to go to bathroom but once every 3 or 4 hrs and since it hurts so bad to urinate and plus I can get sleep at night with not having to go every hour. It has been such a relief.  I rate it a 9. My doctor has it written 1 or 2 every 8 hours as needed, but I try to only take it at night. I'm very cautious."


"Bipolar, ADHD, OCD, etc. Many of the symptoms overlap and crossover into each other and others as well. Depression is found in each condition, and I find for myself that depression is by far the most debilitating condition of all. I first tried Paxil 12 years ago for depression and anxiety. The Paxil worked great. The side effects included a little nausea (which is basically eliminated by eating something with or soon after taking the med) and some sexual issues (which I believe can be negotiated after you get used to the Paxil). I quit taking it when I switched insurance and because of the perceived stigma I had with taking anything for conditions I didn't want to even acknowledge. Now I'm back on it and will keep it up!"


"Holy Hell this drugs sucks! I was prescribed pills 2x a day for 3 days.  My first was fine, but when I took the 2nd at night after I had eaten before bed that changed. Am I the only one who feels like they have something caught in their throat? Every time I drink or eat something I literally spit it up. Not puking its more regurgitating. Like I can't eat? I took 3rd pill thinking maybe I drank too much water and will try again. I could barely swallow pill and spit up food again! Then I started having tunnel vision and feeling clammy and nervous. I am also constipated so that's awesome. I went in to doctor and I am pretty sure he thinks I am crazy and mental. I stopped taking it, but I still can't eat and I am still a bit dizzy at times."


"I am pre-diabetic and I take 1000 mg Metformin 2x a day and started Trulicity as my A1C was 5.9 and I have non-active lifestyle and 45lbs over my goal weight. Over the past 18 weeks, I have lost 31 lbs at about 1-2 lbs a week.  No adverse effects from Trulicity except for light headedness once and a while and the site of the injection itching.  It has caused to change my eating habits as I feel as my stomach as been reduced.  I started coming off my HDL medication and expect to terminate my HPB medication at my next doctor's visit.  I would suggest to hang in there.  I tried lots of injectors, this is the first one to work so well and produce great results. My Metformin was also cut in half, AIC now 3.8, as when I was 22 yrs old."


"Metamucil works if you use it everyday. I just can't stand the taste of it."


"This med stopped my pain for longer periods of time."


"I started taking Seasonique about 10 months ago. It's worked quite well. My acne isn't as bad as it used to be. I am a little bit more moody but I can cope with that. I do have some spotting in the middle of the three months but its only like a weekish at the most but overall I think its better then having 12 periods a year."


"Unfortunately this medication did absolutely nothing to help me. I spent 4 days in misery just waiting for it to "kick in"... Went back to Imodium Multi-Symptom & MUCH better already. Hope somebody else has better luck with this drug. Luckily my doc had a ton of samples so I didn't have to pay for it."


"Took nizoral and my GI distress symptoms resolved, all toenails cleared of fungus growth symptoms including big toenails fell off and new healthy ones replaced, and scalp cleared up from dandruff."


"I took it for 5 months under prescription because of work related anxiety and developing sleeping disorder. The side effects: low mental capacity, low will power, emotionally dead, no libido, and memory and concentration impairment, and really feeling down.  My psychiatrist insisted that the side effects are actually manifestations of my anxiety. But my mental and emotional health were going down. "It will work eventually" he said on our last meeting. One day l  crashed my car against a wall. I stopped immediately the medication, went through one week or so of withdrawal hell. I quit my job, went on a holiday and never took a pill again. It took me two years to restore my abilities, partly because of anxiety, but mostly of Zoloft."


"i have suffered for many, many years with major depressive disorder among others  I have tried way too many different drugs to alleviate my symptoms.  While most meds helped to some degree it was rather like putting a bandaid on a hemorrhaging aorta.  Since I have started on only 25 mg of amitriptyline my life has turned around. I feel like my old self.  I never dreamed i would have the opportunity to feel so "normal".  The years were flying by and I thought my lot in life was to get by with my bandaid firmly affixed.  Now I am strong emotionally and whatever has come down the pike has not paralyzed my being.  I am thrilled and grateful that my Psych let me try this.  At 69 (and a half) i truly have a new lease on the rest of my life.  "


"Okay"


"Absolutely terrible experience on tirosint - landed in ER with chest pains, dizziness, extremely disoriented."


"I started this pill when I was 22. I've been taking it for 3 years now and I'm very pleased with it. I was nervous about starting birth control because of all the side effects you hear about. But I have not gained weight, I don't have mood swings. Nothing negative. I had bad periods/cramps before and they are gone. I don't really get a period anymore. Which I'm happy with. It's worth trying if you want a low dose birth control and you have bad periods. Also there are coupons online so it's not so expensive. It was $25 a month. Now it's $25 for 3 months."


"I started taking risperidone when I was 15. It does take away the delusions and mood swings, but it leaves me with anxiety and dulls me out to the point where I don't feel like really socializing at all. I've tried other medicines like Zyprexa and Geodon and they either do the same thing or have another bad effect on me. I'm 20 now and still haven't really found a medicine that works. I think whatever they put in antipsychotics just doesn't agree with me."


"2nd injection in my knees and feel 35% less pain
but I am sooo I'll
inj in both knees each friday, by Saturday 5pm I have outrageous headache nausea
dizziness.
Very tough thru the night vomitting.
my stomach Hurts.
Continues all sunday and monday till around 1pm

Two weeks in a row now and missed work because of it..not sure if I can continue injections"


"I have been on Lexapro, Remeron, Citalopram, and now I am on Zoloft and Xanax for my anxiety and depression. I have been taking Zoloft for 3 days, and I am taking half of my 50mg dose for a week as the doctor said. The first day I took it I felt a sense that I was on top of the world, I didn't have any problems talking to people as I used to. I'm not sure if this was placebo, or if this drug is actually working. None of the other pills had worked for me. So far I have not experienced any changes in libido, but I have noticed my palms get clammy more than they used to. I am going to stick with this one for awhile."


"I was taking linzess for the better part of three years it did the job but had major AEs. I experienced bloating, weight gain and the biggest problem for me was stomach pains. My GI doc switched me over to trulance about 30 days ago and as of now not having any AEs. I hope it continues to work this well."


"I absolutely LOVE this medication.  I have COPD, so when I get a cold/allergies, I can, at times, have a terrible cough.  This is the greatest relief for me."


"Many years ago I was diagnosed with bipolar ll. Lithium was my doctor's first choice. Not even sure how effective it was. The side effects were awful. I could not work, I lost down to 95 pounds. I was so weak I had difficulty climbing stairs. I shook so bad I could not sign my own name. Then my doctor started to add all sorts of medicines to counteract the side effects. I became hypothyroid had to take medicines for that, tremor had to take medicines for that (didn't work well). Dr. decreased dose (didn't help much). I was on leave from work for 12 weeks. Finally stopped the lithium. It took awhile for my Dr. to believe my problems with this medicine because they were not typical. Those 12 weeks were the worst."


"I have been on this medicine for several years.  I have anxiety and Lexapro works really good but don't miss a dose or try to wean yourself off.  It makes you dizzy and you get these Zaps; to my tongue and down my arm.  I am still not off it and went back to my normal dose.  Beware of weight gain, I eat very health and get pretty good physical activity and the weight just keeps creeping up.  Good luck!  "


"Had dark lines in my forehead from the clippers burning my skin. On my 8th day and the cuts have vanished about 70%. I used all types of creams and nothing worked. Triluma is the best. I would recommend this to anyone with dark spots. "


"I chose Implanon because it lasts for 3 years, and I am terrible at remembering to take pills. I had it inserted July 2011, it has been 4 months. The procedure itself was easy, I was impressed with how little discomfort I felt. The area was slightly tender for a few days, but honestly once it was inserted. I can feel it in my arm, but you can't see it at all. I have not had a period since, and have had minor cramping, but this is normal for my body, was the same when I was on the pill. I have gained weight, 10 pounds. This could be a mix of things (traveling a lot), not just Implanon, and I am now working out like a mad woman and eating clean. Hopefully it comes off! I give Implanon 9 out of 10."


"This medicine helped for fibromyalgia but caused hallucinations and fatigue."


"Diagnosed with Bipolar II and Schizophrenia. At first this was the wonder drug. Now, as I'm 1 year into it, my daily functionality has significantly decreased. I take this with 50mg Vyvanse just to wake up enough to work. I can't verbally communicate any more, even with friends or my wife. It's affecting my work. My tongue clicks and my legs shake uncontrollably. No motivation. No emotional reactions except strong anger outbursts. I will sleep 18+ hrs a day if I can."


"I took the two pills at one time and didnt have any problem with it. It has been 5 days since i took it and i feel fine."


"I felt less pain but the side effects were NOT worth it. I ended up becoming very depressed and apathetic and slept for 12+ hours a day, missed work, didn't clean or eat. I was taken off after I crashed my car."


"At first, I didn't have any problems with this. No nausea, no weight gain, there wasn't really a change in the amount of acne I had. I was told it would help reduce cramps and amount of blood during my period, but it actually did the exact opposite. Cramps were horrible, my stomach was quite swollen, and the length of my period was increased and the blood flow was horribly heavy. I was told it could happen on occasion, but it was rare, so it's a bit unfortunate I had that reaction to it. At least it prevented pregnancy."


"I took remeron (mirtazapine) for about a year until I decided I needed something to give me more energy. I started 75 mg in the morning after eating. In a week I could already feel a difference in my mood and energy. Even my friends and family have noticed a difference in me. I didn't realize how numb I had been on remeron. I'm finally getting back to myself and I couldn't be happier. My depression and anxiety has been getting better thank God. The only complaint about this medicine is that if you forget to take it, even just one day, you get headaches, feel nauseous, or dizzy."


"I've been using this pill for three weeks now. I've experienced no side effects at all. No nausea, headaches, cramps, weight gain or spotting. It doesn't feel like anything has changed. Actually I think I noticed mild mood swings. I can get really mad from a small comment. My period should start any day now so I'm curious to see if it will be lighter with less cramps."


"I've struggled with migraines since I was a child and have manged mostly on Excedrin until age 30 when I first tried Imitrex. The combination helps me but the frequency of my migraines (2-3x) made me seek out a neurologist for preventative medication. I've been on Pamelor for only a week and stopped taking it last night because I couldn't take the side effects anymore: fast heart rate, major heartburn (a burning feeling that reaches up my chest, throat and head), nausea, constipation, blurred vision, anxiety, fatigue, ringing ears. In that week, I had only 1 migraine and had 5 headaches. For me, any potential mitigation of future migraines isn't worth dealing with these side effects. I'm miserable and it's interfering with work and life."


"This drug changed my life- I would have to take 4 hour naps during the day, on top of 8-10 hours of sleep in order to get through a

a day but now I can stay awake and it helps me FOCUS. Upon taking it I feel an overwhelming sense of positivity almost a "high" and it lasts for hours. I can accomplish anything I want to. The drug lasts for the whole work day and I'm back to being my sleepy self by night time. I take 60mg and weigh 145. I would definitely recommend this drug."


"The patch worked but the extreme dry mouth side effect was unbearable!  In fact, 8 months after not using the patch anymore I still struggle with dry mouth!  When does it go away?"


"Tastes great."


"Leg/foot cramps stopped - hair stopped falling out - joint (knee) pain considerably better - more energy.  I had no idea I was deficient since I live in Southern Arizona and am in the sun a LOT - plus I was taking 2,000IU of a good (Carlson) supplement.  I highly recommend this product"


"I have been using Miralax and psillium every night for about a year and wanted to try Linzess, but my doctor was hesitant to let me try it.  Possible side effects.  Anyway, after some reasearch, I realized the Nexium I have been using causes a Magnesium deficiency.  So now I take a multi-mineral capsule and a 500mg Magnesium capsule 3 times a day with meals.  I have been able to cut back on my chemical medications and have some hope that I will be able to get off them completely by adjusting my mineral intake.  Try this, because your bowels cannot function without enough minerals."


"I have used Byetta now for about 2 weeks.  No significant side effects other than weight loss, which is a good thing.  Injection is simple and painless...easier than doing blood tests for my glucose meter.  Has reduced my fasting glucose by about 10%."


"I had great results for the first several months. I now have been injecting for a year now, and I do have several spots that will not clear up and have even gotten worse. On the other hand a lot has cleared up. "


"Well there isn't a cure, but this sure helps."


"Caused me to bleed for 2 weeks a month. When first inserted, I was an emotional wreck for the first few weeks...  Mood changes, no drive. Will have this removed"


"Topamax literally saved my life! I have been getting headaches often since I was 14 or so. They progressed to full blown migraines after my 3rd child (I was 28 in 2004)and increased from there. By 2008/2009 they had gotten so bad I was literally having paralysis on the left side of my face, could not keep my eyes open at all, severe vomiting. Once I had one there was no driving or I'd run off the road. Thankfully after getting no relief from several medications & including visits to the ER, ENT, and neurologist to try and figure out something... I was prescribed Topamax. Use 50mg a day with 2 Aleve & 500mg Magnesium. Pretty much wiped out my migraines. Got pretty much all the side effects...who cares? I'm not suffering everyday anymore. :)"


"My doctor recommended I buy abrevea. I used it several times and it did temporarily help with the pain however when I woke up in the morning  my sore was gooey and looked like it had melted all over it cause it to spread on other parts of my lip."


"I am 33 weeks pregnant I used monistat one and within three hours I was so swollen that I was closed up. My labia started bleeding and still is along with the swelling. Had to go to the doctor and come to find out that the monistat was not only ineffective but now I get to take medication that can put my unborn child at risk!!!! Thanks for nothing Monistat now I'm bleeding, swollen, in pain, and risking an unborn child's life!!! I DONT EVEN WANT TO GIVE YOU A 1 YOU DESERVE A NEGATIVE 10!!!!!!!!"


"I have being on Byetta 5mcg&Lantus 3mths I've had constant nausea which varies in severity. I haven't had a reduction of bgl they are still quiet high; I am not at all sure whether both meds have really worked for me over the past 3mths&my diabetic educator thinks the same&my endocrinologist will most likely change my meds altogether next review. In one week i'm going on 10mcg...I hope that it works but not holding my breath - I've never had the brilliant results that others on here have had - the nausea has never gone away but the earlier dizziness did...although it hasn't worked for me I believe that it's worth trying, I did have hopes that worked for me, there are other meds & I will get my bgl's in a normal range&lower my HbA1c"


"It was a heat of the moment thing and we went unprotected. Not too smart, but it happens. Took Plan B One Step less than an hour later. Like you, I was anxious and jumped into reading reviews and began the waiting game. The second day I felt dizzy, nauseated, and sleepy, but it didn't kill me. For those wondering,I'm 5'3, 145 lbs, and never took birth control before. Just relax, even if you don't feel it, this is working. Easier said than done, I know. My period came a few days earlier than expected and heavier, but I've never been so happy to see it!"


"Really started a strong stream with no dribbling after a week. Get dizzy, tired most of the day, no erection without Cialis, retrograde ejaculation (climax feeling is good), and have had draining sinuses for the year I have taken Flomax. Time to see if there is something else or have a TURP."


"It works well for Meniere's disease aka as vertigo but does absolutely nothing for my anxiety/panic attacks. I have been on 7.5 mg twice a day for 7 months prior I was on 5mg twice a day. I gave it a 4 because it helps the Meniere's but not the anxiety. I was also put on Zoloft but had to stop after 14 days do to side effects. I was only on 12.5mg tried 25mg and had horrible side effects."


"i am in  end stage copd  i could not get thought a day untill i started this drug  had a few side effects
but well worth it i fell like me 20 years ago and i don't sit around feeling sorry for my self any more"


"After being diagnosed with MS I started on rebif injections which I continued with for a year and a half. I spent six days of the week with flu like symptoms. To be on rebif I had to stop taking warfarin which I need to help with another condition. 7.5 years ago I was switched to tysabri so I could once again take warfarin at the same time. That was the best thing that happened. I'm no longer feeling dreadful for the majority of the week and in fact suffer no symptoms. I'm fortunate that I'm jc negative and that the government here covers the cost of my infusions and best of all had no flare ups since I started on tysabri."


"I've been on it for a year and half and absolutely LOVE IT! I had no weight gain, my hormones seem stable, I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I would recommend this to anyone who can't remember to take the pill or doesn't wanna do the shot. LOVE IT, HIGHLY RECOMMEND."


"My anxiety didn't really cease when I was on this medication. I didn't feel the effects that others have described, but once I got on the non XR I was able to attend school, go to the grocery store, do all the normal things that people without severe anxiety can do."


"It seems that the single day/dose medication (4 pills in one day) seems to have less severe side effects than your long treatments (7-10 day). I was diagnosed with BV and I was prescribed Metronidazole (flagyl) with 4 pills. I took two at first because I didn't know how the side effects would effect me but I felt nothing, so I took the other two pills two hours later and still, I feel fine. Maybe a little pain in my abdomen, but if you've ever slept on a bad mattress, the feeling is something of that sort. Not bad. Woke up this morning and my discharge seems to be gone and the itch as well. Now all I'm doing is making sure I don't develope a yeast infection by wearing loose clothing, drinking lots of water/ cranberry juice & eating yogurt."


"After about 8 days of being on Dilantin, I had a horrible allergic reaction. I woke up at like 4:30 with unbearably itchy hives that literally covered my whole body....face, shoulders, chest, stomach, back, buttocks & legs....even on the backs of my hands and feet, with a few spots on the palm of my hand. It sucked, needless to say. It also made me really tired all day, even though I'd take it at night. I'm now starting on KEPPRA. Hope it works."


"Started Lo to manage Perimenopause symptoms. At first it made me bleed a lot, gave me terrible cramps and made me cry for two days straight. About one month in my peri symptoms got much better! I feel like myself again. And as of right now I do not have negative side effects."


"I have been on Klonopin for a few years now for anxiety/panic attack issues. Dosage = 1 mg 3 x day and as needed. It has been extremely effective without side effects like making me feel really tired. In fact, I don't really seem to notice any side effects."


"I took Ortho Tri-Cyclen because this is what I received from the health department for free when I didn't have insurance and was a poor full time student. I was taking this for about 4 years. The best thing about it is that I never got pregnant. However, I had extremely heavy periods lasting 5-6 days until it was finished completely; painful cramps, spotting lightly at times, spotting heavily; mood swings; fatigue and recurrent yeast infections. I finally made it back to my regular OBGYN after getting insurance again and she placed me on Beyaz. So far so good."


"I've been on birth control since I was 16 to help with my cramps and PMS. I'm 21 and recently switched to this birth control because of insurance coverage. I gained 20 pounds, extreme drowsy-ness, always tired, a lot of spotty and terrible acne which I've never had before. The estrogen levels are too high and I don't recommend this pill"


"Can't adequately give enough praise to Belviq.  My friend said try it there's a free coupon.  Other stories said it doesn't work, don't bother.  Lowered my expectations. Used it for two weeks, lost ten pounds and quit smoking.  Good grief!  What?  Used to smoke 2-packs a day for 25 years. Tried other smoking medications but felt like hell so quit those but not smoking.  Belviq and phentermine makes me feel 20 again. I drink more water. It's over a year later.  Without Belviq?  I'd still be smoking and suffering through weird food diets. I do anything I want and enjoy life all day long with this, every day. No willpower needed. Don't get hungry, don't miss smokes, and no exercise necessary.  Haha.  Miracle. Grateful."


"This medicine, taken in the throes of suicidal ideation changes your thoughts, literally.  After taking an additional 20mg cap, my mind wanders to other, more immediate issues such as things I can do to help myself.  I start thinking about doing activities such as housework, baking, painting, and anything else that gets me back into life and out of my chair playing computer games by the hour.  I think this med is miraculous in the way it draws one away from the depths of despair to functionality.  I have been taking it for several years, prescribed off-brand for clinical depression and have been continually amazed that someone could create a medication that does so much good with virtually no downside.  No hair loss, no weight gain."


"I have been on Nuvaring for a little over a year and haven't had any problems until the past couple of months.  I've had mood swings, felt very depressed and gained weight.  Also I have had heavier periods.  A couple of times I have completely bled through a tampon in less than an hour.  I am looking to switch birth controls or going off completely."


"I've had the Nexplanon bar in my arm for about 14 months now. If I could warn every woman on earth about this hideous I implant, I would! I am not exaggerating when I say that this implant has ruined my life. Massive multiple times a week migraines, rapid weight gain (50lbs in 14 months), major mood swings and anxiety, random chest pain, random gushes of blood which makes me think I'm having a cycle then it just stop, it has zapped all my energy.. This thing is a nightmare. I get it out in 3 weeks which can't come soon enough. I do not wish this on my worst enemy. I have thought about taking it out myself on numerous occasions! DO NOT get this form of birth control, please just don't. I don't want anyone to go through what I have."


"I was diagnosed with a bladder infection and had been given the script for Macrobid. Right after taking the first pill I had the worst headache that NOTHING would help. I did take a 2nd pill and that about put me down with the headache. I took Advil, Tylenol. I ended up taking a Tramadol which helped a little. I felt very weak, out of sorts, nausea, NO appetite, gassy stomach and my neck hurt like crazy. Over all I felt like I had a real bad case of the flu. I also want to mention that I had extreme anxiety. I am already OCD and this medication magnified everything. I would rather suffer from the bladder infection than go through this again. I thought Bactrim was bad. The ONLY thing Macrobid helped with was my low grade fever."


"Had no life at all except pain and overwhelming fatigue for 10 years.  Visited many doctors with no help at all. I am a scientist began tracking medicines that were in the pipeline - came across Provigil, looked like it was the one for me.  When it became available I was first in line.  changed my life completely; I was normal again; I could produce again and did to a stunning degree. 3 weeks ago, after 8 years, Provigil completely stopped working. I know all the obvious reasons but makes no sense, I am again existing with no quality to go forward. Am manically changing to Adderall while I try to figure this out."


"As far as the birth control working, it does. I got it in May of 2015 and I have not had a period since then and didn't get pregnant. It's convenient.

I had it removed because I delevoped HORRIBLE acne it's never been a problem until the birth control. Also I couldnt seem to loose weight before the pill I lost 70 pounds and I couldnt seem to loose any weight and did what my nutritionist and personal trainer told me. Once getting off my face cleared and I'm finally loosing my weight again."


"I've had rheumatoid arthritis for 18 years with both hips and one knee replaced. I do very well and remain active on 5 Norco (10/325) in 24 hours. I rarely need it at night. Doctors are under pressure to reduce hydrocodone because they are prone to abuse. My doctor keeps trying to cut me back, first to 4 and next to 3. Nothing else works as well for me. It has less acetaminophen than Vicodin. I'm becoming depressed and less active because I can't control the pain. I wonder if others are experiencing this."


"This drug is great for calming you down I've been on 40mg a day and the side affects are horrendous trying to wean myself off them 1st day I took it I had blurred vision I've had aching in my left arm since I started taking it feel worse the only good thing is it calms you down but the side affects are not worth it"


"I am prescribed 100mg before bed for insomnia.  It only works for me if I wait to take it when I am very sleepy, RIGHT before bed.  If I take it too early, I feel lightly stoned, and hungry, but can stay awake.  It sometimes helps knock me out for 4-5 hours, if I'm lucky 6 hours at most."


"Risperdal did not eliminate my symptoms but it did make coping with the symptoms easier.  It also made me sleep extremely deeply at night so that someone who tried wasn't able to wake me up at all.  It could be due to low blood pressure but most likely because I have a low tolerance to sedative medications.  I was not able to take it during the day when I needed to the most, when my symptoms were at their worst, due to the sedative side effects.  I did find that using a 0.5mg dose was mildly helpful for daytime treatment of symptoms and was not severely sedative, allowing me to function normally."


"I have been using Aviane for almost 4 years. It works well for me! No mood swings, short periods, no acne. And most of all I'm not pregnant. My breasts never grew though."


"I have been on oxycontin for the past 7 years, but my pain had been increasing more and more over the in the past few months.  I discussed my lack of pain control and he mentioned Belbuca.  We discussed all of the pros and cons.

I tried Belbuca and during the first two  weeks, it was a bit hairy. I may have been a bit apprehensive, so I didn't think it was working.  On the third week, my pain subsided, with Norco for breakthrough pain.

I didn't like the idea of being on oxycontin for such a long time, and Belbuca gives me pain relief I do desperately needed."


"Started with 30 mg. First day taking it was ok but from day two until now I have had crippling diarrhea, wicked headaches and nausea. Stopping this nasty medicine today.

Unbelievable that I had to change doctors and I told the what had worked for me. Lexapro and Alprazolam. But these doctors think they know best."


"I m 36 years old and in the last 5 months I have had terrible severe acne in the chin area. Two weeks ago my doctor prescribed Aczone to me and it is working. There are no new ones as I used to have 1-2 new pumps everyday. So happy with the cream. I'm taking another cream called Retin-A-Micro and antibiotic."


"I haven't had a full on cold sore in 10 years. All due to Abreva. As soon as I feel that warm feeling and see a little red on my lip I apply it and an hour later it's gone. I keep a tube at home and in my car.  I'll even apply some before a big date or event just in case. This stuff is amazing.  I deal with clients daily, a cold sore is a deal breaker. Miracle."


"My type of acne was small bumbs all over my forehead and not even kidding benzaclin stated working overnight after my first use! Completely dried up my acne and my skins been perfect since I have used it"


"I have had minimum side effects."


"Its awesome .... Lessened my problems upto 70℅"


"I saw very little improvement and I became ill while on the medication. It just didn't work for me. I was on it for 6 months and my plaques weren't going away."


"I have been taking Avonex for close to 16 years and my biggest fear in the world is losing access to it. I started on Betaseron but had to stop because of injection site reactions and severe flu symptoms.  I had been through everything. Complete invalidity, lying in a hospital bed to basically healthy with no noticeable symptoms at all. But since being on the Avonex, I have only very minor exacerbations , less than one per year. In the last 10+ years, I have not missed any work or cancelled any vacations for MS issues. My only problem is the cost."


"I had my nexplanon inserted in May of 2016 and I am loving it! I had bleeding for about a month that was constant, but very light. It is August 6th of 2016 now and I just had a 3 day period. I have no horrible cramps, no headaches, and no nausea. This was the best thing that I have ever done."


"This medicine helps me a lot. I have also found a good side effect from the drug. I feel much better and more active and motivated."


"My daughter takes Lamictal. At first the doctor had to increase the dose, but now she is okay and no seizures at all for about nine months."


"After 15 years of incorrect medication, the last 2 being a roulette of 12 different meds, my life is amazing. I take 175 mg plus a 159 mg Wellbutrin kicker. These coupled with 900 mg of Li each night (and 100 mg trazadone), I am allowed to be the wife, mother and teacher I knew I could be. I was an extremely rapid cycling Bipolar 2 (even daily swings) and for almost a year now, I am a normal person.  I will also stress that CBT is just as important as the meds.  Many people on this site having negative effects are on really high doses -maybe this is the problem? I get many side effects from all meds and now they are minor. (FYI, Lamo works with the neurotransmitter glutamate and not sere, norep, or dope - BP is not depression)"


"The 3 months I had the implant in were the worst of my life. Made me so emotional and tearful I was constantly sad, even crying at my part time job in front of managers, despite having no reason to cry. I would take out this sadness and anxiety on my boyfriend, who luckily is very understanding and put up with me. Constant tiredness and mood swings as well, and in the last week of having it I was feeling sick all the time meaning I had to miss work. Have had it out just now, and already feeling better ! Would recommend trying the pill first then if that goes well consider getting the implant, as I went straight from nothing to the implant potentially causing all this."


"I was taking cipralex/lexapro for a little over a month. It really helped my depression but gave me minor erectile dysfunction, delayed orgasm and blocked orgasm. This was not worth staying on the drug. I have switched to trintillex and now my mood is still great and all the sexual problems are gone, great drug"


"I was 53 years old living a normal happy life when my son (then 18) was diagnosed with major depression. A few weeks later he had a psychotic episode and he left my life out of the blue severing all contact with me ever since. This had a serious effect on my mental health and within 3 months I started having anxiety or panic attacks. I did not know what they were. It was all novel to me. After a few difficult months I went to a psychiatrist and he put me on alprazolam (Xanax) in a reduced dosage of 0.25 mg as necessary. It did provide serious relief. I take it no more than once a day at most. It was a life saver. Yet it deals with the symptoms of anxiety it doesn't resolve your underlying issues. Yet it was a fantastic help. Recommended."


"I have been taking fioricet for about a year now for migraines. And it works great"


"I'm 22, no kids and I just got the Skyla inserted yesterday 2/4/16. I read all these horror stories online and made myself extremely nervous! The whole experience took about 15min from signing in to waiting my turn to the actual insertion to walking out the door. The insertion was very painful but lasted only 30secs! I cramped all day after but nothing ibufrofen couldn't help. I spotted for a few hours. Used a heating pad to help with the cramps. I switched to skyla from depo and I'm hoping I made the right choice. Only on day two so I will update when I got back for my follow up."


"I have been on Apri for a month now, and I can NOT wait until Sunday to switch back to my brand name birthcontrol. This month has been a nightmare for my body. Yes, I know, usually if you switch birthcontrol things may change for your body but I was told that this was the EXACT same thing as my other brand name birthcontrol and that the only difference is that I wouldn't have to pay out of pocket. Which is weird because I didn't pay out of pocket for my brand name birth control.. Anyways, within the first week I had acne all over my face. and right now. I have hundreds of little red bumps on my forehead. I honestly have not broken out this bad since freshman year of highschool...I'm 22 now. Each to their own but for me, Apri is a no no."


"I was on this for a year and experienced weight gain, loss of sex drive, depression, thinning hair, and my hormone levels dropped (estrogen, testosterone, cortisol). For me it isn't worth all of the horrible side effects experienced."


"So far this is one of the best medications that I have tried for my headaches."


"I had my Mirena inserted this morning. I was not on my period, was not prescribed any medication to dilate my cervix, and have never had children. It is now 11:00 am and the device was inserted at 9:15 am. I am feeling fine and cramping less than when I am on my period. As far as the insertion goes, my doctor told me there would be a pinch and then a big cramp.  The pinch lasted longer than I expected, maybe 90 seconds, but was not at all unbearable.  When she told me the big cramp was coming she was not kidding. I felt a deep heavy cramp for about 30 seconds. I held my breath. "


"I've been using Desogen for one month now and so far it's been great. I haven't had any complications. I'm really satisfied with it."


"I personally love it. Great stuff"


"I began taking Viibryd at the suggestion of my doc to use in addition to bupropion. After having been prescribed different antidepressants, the one drug that seemed to work to mostly maintain my mood was Wellbutrin. Though it worked well, from time to time crippling depressive episodes would bleed through. I have been taking 10 mg Viibryd with 150 mg bupropion per day and that works very well for me. I haven't had a single episode that I couldn't deal with even having gone through a death in my family and financial upheaval."


"I started a workout program in February 2016 and was doing well by losing 50 lbs over 8 months.  Like most of us though I wanted more.  I took Saxenda for 6 weeks starting November 1 2016 and lost 14 lbs in the first few weeks.  Appetite was really suppressed and the last 2 weeks I was extremely tired.  I spoke to my Dr about cycling on and off as I noticed the weight loss had stopped once I hit 14 lbs.  I went off Saxenda for 3 weeks and began again at the beginning of January and am down an additional 15 lbs.  I will continue for another week and then cycle off for 3 weeks again and start over.  I find the appetite and energy side effect kicks in around 4 weeks so by cycling on and off I can avoid those effects and maximize the weightloss"


"I've tried several antidepressants for anxiety and depression with moderate success, however this one takes the cake for being absolutely awful. Within hours of taking it, I experienced my depression returning. I noticed a pattern that every single time I took a dose of this medication (even at the lowest dose of 10mg) I had dark thoughts, low moods, and even sporadic suicidal thoughts. I did a test and did not take this medication for one day. It was like a night/day difference. No gloomy thoughts at all! I also want to mention that I can generally tolerate most antidepressants, however I would beware of this one. This medication may work for some, but it really did not work for me."


"I have been on Amlodipine for a month and I feel so tired. I have aching muscles also. I work out at my gym like always but by 12 noon I am so tired, have a headache, swollen feet, ankles and sometimes hands, swelling varies with the worst by evening. I am now getting so hot. My blood pressure is good though. I will call my new Doctor tomorrow and discuss all this as I can't imagine feeling so bad every day."


"I've literally been taking Lutera for three days now, and I HATE IT. My back hurts so unbelievable bad I can barely walk, I'm so nauseous, tired, terribly tired all the time and I already have period cramps. I'm hesitant to stay on this for a few months because I know it hasn't fully adjusted with me yet, but at the same time this back pain is not something I'm gonna be able to handle everyday. My back never used to hurt, and now I finally get what people mean when they say "my back hurts so bad I can't breath" "


"I%u2019m 37 and I had been suffering from panic disorder since I was 25 and this works great for anxiety."


"I had the nexaplanon inserted back in 2013 after I have my daughter. My period has completely stop , I only experience a little spotting sometimes. The nexaplanon is very effective! My fianc"


"Took this for my ankylosing spondylitis. By week two ankle, toe and hand pain lessened. The 5 knives I felt stabbing and twisting along my spine from neck to sacrum were gone by week three. The inflammation, aching and stiffness is still a problem at this point. I didn't think this medication would work this quickly and I'm hoping it continues to relieve even more pain. If so I will give it a ten!"


"I have panic disorder and generalized anxiety. I take 1 to 2 mg sublingually when fighting anxiety or at the onset of a panic attack. I took one at the onset of an attack this morning, and within 5 minutes I could breathe again, my hands returned to normal temperature, and I was able to focus on getting the kids ready for school. I'm glad that 1mg is strong enough to prevent an attack, and that it doesn't dope me up - just calms me down and eases the physical issues."


"A little over month ago, I was in a dark place. I was having horrific thoughts that were consuming me. Waking up in a panic with a constant nervous feeling. I had zero patience for my kids in fact I did not want to be around them or alone with them. I was constantly upset and teary. I was so against medication and did everything to avoid it. I would visit these forums over and over. I have been on Sertraline for approx a month now. I built up from 12.5mg to 50mg and this drug has saved my life. It really is a miracle. Although I did get side effects to begin with, it was all worth it to feel happy again."


"I have yet to figure this medication out.  I have been on it for about 15 days.  I take it when I first wake up with 16 ounces of water.  I always wait AT LEAST 30 minutes to eat, often much longer.  Some days, I have very bad diarrhea from it and other days I have some passing cramps with no bowel movement it all.  Without it, I can't really have a bowel movement on my own so this beats that but still, I wish it worked a little better.  Running to the bathroom while at work, hoping I make it is not an ideal outcome. I did have the $30 co-pay card from my doctor so that helped with the cost but I think it's only good for one month."


"I'm gonna' make this simple. I took spironolactone and lived happily ever after PERIOD. (God willing)

OK fine, I'll elaborate.

-Age: 35.

-Chin acne sufferer.

-Tried A-Z of meds/birth control pills.

-Used Accutane as a teen. Worked until adulthood.

-Taking spiro @ 25mg (half of one pill): No initial breakout. No spotting. No period issues. Instant clearing of skin and no joke.

-Side effects: I pee a lot...so what?

-Not on the bcp with it, just spiro by itself.

FYI I took spiro a year ago before for 5 months @ 50mg a day with same great results but stopped because I had intense breast tenderness. Boohoo, I should have just lowered my dosage but I was stupid.

-spiro worked for me but if it doesn't for you, don't give up."


"From infancy to my 50's, I've used it all- phenothalein laxatives, castor oil, fiber, Miralax, enemas, bisacodyl, exercise, hydration, Zelnorm while it was available, and on and on.  Only the phenothalien/old Ex-lax formula laxatives and Zelnorm were of use.  Phenothalien also required drinking 8-16 ounces more fluid when you were already congested, adding painfully to existing distension and then needing to wait up to hours.  Since that laxative was removed from the US market in the 2000's, availability now is very limited; Zelnorm was recalled by the FDA for strokes and cardiac issues (and did cause punch-in-the-gut cramping.) LInzess is amazing, reliable, no pain, some diarrhea, but complete control and great increased quality of life!!!"


"I haven't noticed any help at all with my depression, my anxiety has gotten worse and I've never been so tired in my life. Also I'm all out sweating like crazy during the most very minimal tasks."


"I have been using this mediation only a week, I am now on full dosage and have had hardly any side effects which was my main concern.
The specialist said I could expect nausea, diarrhea and some headaches and possibly vomiting.
He also made me aware that these effects would wear off after a couple of weeks of my body adjusting to the medication.
I have actually had a couple of small headaches (took paracetamol) a touch of nausea, only when I was moving up to the next level on tablets and more regular bowel movements...not. Bad thing.
I feel fine, the psoriasis is starting to clear already :-)"


"I have gotten pregant two other times on other types. After two kids i decided to try a new market product. I have had no adverse side effects besides little to no period. Ive had the nexplanon in for over two years. During 2016 i do want to replace it and stay on this one. Very effective with all my medical conditions."


"Seroquel XR has changed my life! I tried regular Seroquel and it's like having your head in a bucket. The XL version feels like a completely different medicine. I take 100 mg at night. I wake up refreshed, happy, eager to start my day, I also take Lamictal 300 mg in the morning. No side effects from either medicine. I have been on both for about 7 years. I have been depressed once in that time and it was situational."


"Undetectable after one month. Finishing 2nd bottle    Had all the common side effects"


"I just started taking this birth control, and I have absolutely no complaints. I'm a psycho about my skin, and so far it hasn't effected it in anyway and it could possibly be making it better. My sex drive if anything has increased while on this pill, and I have gained No weight! Everyone's different, so don't take the all of reviews too seriously! The only thing that I've noticed is that the first few weeks of my first pack, I was super emotional but that occurs with any birth control at first! My boobs also get a little tender the first 2 weeks of each pack but it's nothing that I can't handle on a scale 1-10 it's probably a 1.5 on the pain scale for tenderness so nothing to worry about all! It obviously also has prevented pregnancy."


"I've recently been diagnosed with chronic migraines and was prescribed to take half of a 25mg dose at night. It hasn't helped me that much. I still get the migraines and some acute headaches."


"I've taken Plan B twice in my life. The first time was right after the 'incident', literally not even an hour after in the wee hours of the night we ran out to Walmart, came home took the pill and went to sleep. Can't say I remember anything crazy to that experience. I do remember my period came a bit early and the cramps were pretty severe and so was the bleeding. It took a bit for my period to get back to normal, but it did! This time around is a whole other story! I took it about three days ago, day of taking it was good, next day was good, yesterday midday I experienced nausea and vomiting, and now today diarrhea and cramps. Suppose to get my period anywhere from 3-5 days from now."


"This is a miracle medicine for me! I have been taking it about 2 years now and couldn't be happier with my skin. I am always getting compliments on how flawless my skin looks. I take it daily and also use Epiduo cream on my face at night. The 2 combined= perfection."


"I have been on Contrave for 5 days now. So far have had zero side effects. I'm 5'5 and started at 215 lbs. Weighed in this morning at 212 lbs. Have not changed my diet, but I am eating less, not really that hungry, I don't even think about sweets and when I do I really don't want them. Will up date when I start week 3."


"My doctor prescribed Lyrica for fibromyalgia, this was the worst medication I have ever taken! Within a few days, my anxiety levels were through the roof . I had other side effects too but I can't recall what they were now - it's been a horrendous year."


"I got diarrhea, headache, muscle ache, flu like symptoms."


"Today is my 7th day of the 15 day trial and I've lost 4 pounds. I will refill my prescription as soon as I can (despite the cost). I'm looking forward to posting more about my results as time goes by. Start 209lbs current 205lbs 5'4" 31 year old female. I've never been "skinny" but after quitting smoking I gained 20lbs, tearing my ACL, MCL and spraning my LCL I gained another 15. I also managed to get pregnant 3 months post-op and gained 70 pounds during my pregnancy (I wasn't allowed to workout while pregnant after my surgery). I had lost 56 pounds of the 105lbs I had gained but haven't lost a pound in a year and a half. I get monster craving and I can't say no to food. Belviq helps me say no. 0 side effects for me."


"Been taking Orsythia for one month. I've noticed breakouts of acne along my jawline and some random ones on my upper lip, some weight gain.  I feel a bit swollen at times, my feet and my arms mostly. My mood has not been affected. Although I have been getting a lot of headaches since I started with this pill, every day practically, relieved by Tylenol."


"I started taking lisinopril a week ago on Saturday, that same day I started getting lower back pain, I didn't attribute the pain to the drug till a week later.  The pain in my lower back was so extreme I could hardly walk or sleep, so I went to prompt care on Wednesday thinking it might be a UTI, Test was negative, doctor ordered PT. Next day I ended up in ER, bp was extremely high, rapid heart rate, felt like I was gonna pass out, all tests were negative, doctor said it was the new med and dehydration. I called my primary, I told her about the symptoms I was having, she said back pain wasn't a side effect of this drug, and the other symptoms were my body getting used to the drug."


"Works nearly every time on one dose. The second dose will make you fell washed out for the next 24 hours. Life is normal with this drug as it works in about an hour. I am in the UK so NHS covers the costs of the drug."


"I have been dealing with anxiety, depression and was diagnosed as bipolar. I have been on Remeron at night to help me sleep and 1 mg or Klonopins 3 times a day. While that did help my depression, my panic attacks and anxiety still were horrible where I ruined a relationship just a day before I started the gabapentin. Now that I have taken this 3 times a day at 300 mg I have been able to rationalize and reason much better. I do notice I am a little dizzy at times but nothing horrible. If I only had this medication earlier I may not have lost my partner due to my actions."


"I am a patient of HOCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) for the last 20 yrs I be used Norpace 300 mg a day for about 5 years and experienced the best relief of symptoms. I did not experience side effects other than urinary retention and dry mouth."


"Lyrica has changed my life. I have suffered from Generalized Anxiety Disorder for 15 years. I;ve tried absolutely everything to no avail until last week when I was put on Lyrica. In fact it's not just changed my life its saved my life. "


"Wow, can I say? This drug is amazing! I had to deliver a 4 hour course with 9 people staring at me the whole time and I walked through the fire, I did it! Took a 5mg Valium 3 hours before because my anxiety was so acute I felt like I could vomit, then took Inderal 40 2 hours before the presentation, and I glided through. I wasn't scared nor afraid of what anyone thought of me and didn't mind they were looking at me. I was able to deliver the material with ease, and speak confidently without any anxiety symptoms. My voice and hands were not shakey and I was able to look everyone in the eye and speak with clarity. Had I not taken the Inderal, know the Valium wouldn't have been enough to pull me through. This Beta Blocker was a life saver!"


"When I first started taking this pill I had severe nausea when I would start a pack. Now my nausea is gone and I get occasional migraines. I've almost been on it for a year and I do like it a lot. Great for preventing pregnancy also causes breast tenderness towards end of pack."


"28 years ago a car on an overhead lift fell on me. After 5 years of recovery I did pretty good then it all fell apart 6 years ago. I ended up on lots of medicines including Nortriptyline. My only comment is try it. I use it for burning in my legs that feel that I call burning ice water running down my legs and it really helps."


"I used Sklice on my daughter as per the doctor's recommendation to get rid if nits. I was happy at first since it was only a 10 minute treatment. I even saw the dead nits dropping out of her hair as I used a brush to blow dry her hair! Two weeks later the nits were back!!!! The product said it wasn't necessary to comb out nits, so I didn't! Big mistake! I ended up taking her to a professional place that deals with Lice and was told ALL NITS MUST BE COMBED OUT DEAD OR ALIVE! The product was misleading. Exhausted and stressed out over this."


"Has given me a much improved quality of life. Having said this I've seen this medicine effect people differently. It wakes me up and puts spring in my step."


"Works great. Love it."


"All in all... I tried a lot of weight loss programs and they were "ok". Until I was introduced to this drug. 1st week I did the dose by the book. 2nd week I increased to 1.2 and 3 days later I went to 2.6 because of all the thanksgiving fixings. I'm on my 3rd week. I have loss 18 lbs. and NO it's not water loss or movements. I drink a lot of water and am natural everyday. I haven't gone to the gym yet, but planning on it very soon. I'm 5'9" 400lbs but now I'm 382 and feeling great. I've had a headache or two maybe even 3 but not too bad. Nauseous twice because I drank a couple of soda pops. My alcohol cravings are next to nothing. I cannot wait (no pun intended) to see what happens in a couple more weeks."


"Lexapro is amazing except for the massive weight gain. I have gained thirty-five pounds in two years. I workout 4 days a week and eat healthy. I have to accept the fact that being mentally healthy comes at having a stomach."


"I had a low-grade urinary tract infection for weeks that I mistook for a yeast infection, finally went in for a culture, and then took a week's worth of Macrobid. The infection subsided after 3 days, but came back almost immediately after I stopped taking the medicine."


"The only reason I even give this two stars is because I never had an issue with pregnancy on this pill. I started with Aviane (which I had no side effects and generally felt great) and was switched to this by my pharmacy. Since then things have gone down hill. I had very mild anxiety before going on the pill, Aviane did nothing to it but Orsythia has amplified it to the point where I've really struggled with my anxiety and mood swings. A few days before my period the smallest things will set me off into episodes of weeping and panic. I've gained some weight (5 pounds). Experienced nausea every so often (more than Aviane). Worst, is the cystic acne on my chin. While my periods have been lighter and shorter, cramps have gotten worse. Terrible"


"Awful product! Was prescribed it by my dermatologist who said I had rosacae. Does remove all redness in less than 20 min but face starts flushing hard-core after 10 hours when product stops working. The whole time I used it I thought my rosacae had gotten worse and worse so I applied it daily instead of only iccasionally. Stopped the cream after one month to see what would happen, and in two days my face went back to normal and I don't even have rosacae anymore. Just a reaction to coffee. Bad doctor and bad drug. Stay away!"


"I switched to Gianvi about 3 months ago (after taking YAZ for a year). At first everything was okay, but after a few weeks, I felt more and more depressed, tired and hungry - all the time! I cannot motivate myself to do anything, and I am not a depressed kind of person. I also had headaches, high blood pressure and stomach cramps. "


"I have had a YI for about a week, my friend recommended I should try Monistat.. I went to rite aid today & bought it for $18!! I just used it about 40 mins ago & as soon as it was done it started burning worse than it was before, I am in so much pain now. I wish I would have read these reviews before I used this product. :("


"I have had migraines and irritable bowel syndrome since a child. I have developed curvature of the spine and degenerative discs. Bextra fixed them all. I am now on Percocet since the removal of Bextra. Percocet makes the pain tolerable but never takes the pain away like Bextra did."


"I was on Xalkori for about 6 months in 2012 before it stopped working and I had to go on traditional chemotherapy in September of the same year. I had minimal side effects.  Just a little hair thinning, a little tiredness but no serious problems. Sometimes a little constipation which was easily controlled with a little dose of Milk of Magnesia.  Prior to going on the Xalkori I had lost 19 pounds and had a lot of complications.  While on the medicine I gained the weight back, got my strength back, was able to eat again and was in better shape when I had to go on traditional chemotherapy. In my cases a true blessing."


"I have Premenstrual dysphoric disorder.  This med saved my life.
Mimicked a hysterectomy.  Now I know that removing the ovaries is the answer.  Scheduled...."


"I had two areas on the front of my right leg that had a varicose vein that itched constantly and as a result I had started to break the skin from the scratching. After applying Clobetasol Propionate Ointment USP, 0.05% the itching stopped immediately and after two weeks of application, once per day, the condition cleared up even the varicose vein. Amazing stuff!"


"I first had symptoms when I was 17 yrs old.  Was not diagnosed until I was 25 during an exploratory surgery to find out what was wrong with me.  I am now 67, have had three surgeries, 2 for blockages and a variety of meds.. This last surgery did not go well and my crohn's became worse.  The doctor recommended I go on Remicade.  Have had three treatments with no improvement, extremely exhausted.  During my treatments I developed chest pains, had an angiogram, everything fine.  Then became very short of breath, fever  and got water on the heart from the procedure.  Will be discussing this with the doctor and requesting I stop the treatments.  I have not had a rewarding experience with Remicade.  Not sure what my options are going forward."


"Hi, 2 weeks ago, I have sex with my bf without any protection. I used to take plan b as we are not seeing each other frequently. But this time, for the first time in my life I was so freak out because  I was having sex and taking plan b in the same day as I  was supposed to ovulate which is the riskiest time.  I took plan b one hour after sex and I got no side effect at all. Last time I took it, I was bleeding badly  for a week after plan b. But this time, I believed i was too late.  For 2 weeks I stressed myself out and the day my period supposed to came, i peed a lot and  by 2pm and Yeah, period came!! Plan b works even on ovulating day!"


"I've had been on Trinessa for a year and a few months, ran out and because of insurance issues couldn't get back on it until this month, all together taken it for almost two years. The whole time when I first started and this second time I started taking it again have both been good (and the same) experiences.
I have experienced bloating and increased discharge (which both suck a lot), but on the plus side no weight gain, no headaches, no change in my period (it's always been really short except when I used the Depo shot), no change in sex-drive. I have recommended this to a friend."


"I have had RLS for nearly 10 years. I have taken requip, which didn't do anything. Now I take mirapex, I started out on 0.125 which did nothing. I moved up to 0.5 mg  and have taken that dude for about 9 years. Now, my legs and sometimes my arms go crazy on me during the day. I can't ride very long in a car because it drives me insane how my legs feel. I get very frustrated fast and become agitated, I often tell my husband I would rather cut my legs off then feel this way. I went to the Dr today, he moved my dose to 1mg, I pray this will help me. I am also suffering from compulsive gambling, weight gain of 25 plus pounds. We need a cure for this horrible disease!!!"


"I'll start with some background about my acne: I had absolutely flawless skin in high school and when I got to college, about sophomore year, I began breaking out. For the past year I have consistently had cystic acne, black heads, white heads, and extremely flaky skin.

I finally broke down and went to my GP who prescribed me doxycycline, clindamycin gel, and epiduo. I only very recently started this regimen, but I am seeing results. The epiduo does burn and dry out my skin, which is why I SPOT apply it every other day. It sounds like some people apply it to their entire face, which I do not recommend unless absolutely necessary. Also, I paid around $20 w/ TriCare Standard (military) insurance. All in all, great product."


"This drug was not for me. Its very stimulating. It made me aggresive, angry and irritable. It had several unpleasant side effect, like headache, heavy  head, aggitation AND fatigue, strange shock sensations in the brain, loss of appetite, unwanted weight loss, insomnia, broken sleep, nightmares, trembling and dehydration. And with all that, it never lifted my mood at all. It made me completely dysphoric. I cried daily, screamed at my husband and kids and hated myself and my body so much I had thoughts of self-harm.

In the past I have taken SSRIs and never experienced anything as negative as this. Although the sexual side effects on others were atrocious! That is one thing Wellbutrin didn't cause, sexual dysfunction. I am a 31 year old female."


"I got a YI while taking Augmentin and went for an over the counter as it was a weekend and I couldn't contact my Dr. NOT WORTH IT. Followed all the directions to the letter and 5-10 min after insertion I was itching so bad that I couldn't lay still. Moaning and rolling and gritting my teeth.... Pretty much looked ridiculous. Thank goodness my husband sleeps like a rock. I called the Dr. for a prescription when Monday came and stopped taking the Monistat after 2 doses. Wish I had read these posts before all the drama. This just CAN'T be good for your body with side effects that strong."


"Wellbutrin is probably the best antidepressant on the US market. It's best to start at > 75 MG a day to make sure you can tolerate it; there are many who this medicine does nothing for or causes anxiety or other health problems. Regardless of what they say; do check your liver and kidneys; it is more non-toxic than a lot of drugs but it does take a toll on your body over time. For me, nothing as of yet."


"Prescribed to give me more energy. Haven't been on it but for a few days, but all I want to do is sleep! I had more pep before I started taking it!"


"5.5 weeks into 12 week course of Zepatier for GT4.

The first week, I had some weird aches and pains and could not tolerate alcohol (not a big drinker but after a few sips of wine, I got really unwell - not had a drink since). Apart from some fatigue, there has been no other side effects. However, the fatigue is lessening each week and I have been able to work and maintain a normal life throughout.

After 4 weeks, blood results show all LFTs are well within normal range. HCV & VL not tested since starting treatment.

It looks like it's working :) Keep you posted!"


"Terrible burning and swelling occurred.  The pain was worse then the infection itself."


"My 15yr old son had terrible acne due to being inherited. We tried every facial wash and lotion out there. The dermatologist tried a couple antibiotics and nothing seemed to work. Accutane was our next option which I didn't want to do.  A month ago his primary doctor prescribed Bactrim for an infection and we were shocked when it TOTALLY cleared his face and back up!  We called the docs office and he now takes it daily with no side effects!  Such a blessing!"


"I had abnormally lot T readings, 199, 225 and 249, went on Androgel Brand name therapy, within a month, subsequent readings over 400, last reading was 76, and the only difference is that I was swiched to a generic brand, Perrigo, from Israel."


"Absolutely hated this birth control pill. Within a few days of taking it, the cystic acne started and I read some reviews urging people to stick with it and it'd get better, so I did for 6 months, but this wasn't the case for me. My skin got worse.. A lot worse. My skin wasn't great to begin with, but it was horrible on loestrin. Whole face covered in under the skin bumps and large cystic acne on cheeks and chin. Been off of it for almost 4 months and I can't seem to get the acne gone now. So frustrating. No other side effects"


"First time taking it, found out after a week of taking it I'm allergic to it...red ITCHY rash from head to toe.   And now I have diarrhea too, ugh."


"I have struggled with acne for years. I finally decided to try Accutane as the last resort. It really worked for me. It's been 2 years and I have clear skin very little break out's. My daughter is 17 is on the process of taking it herself. So I'm totally 100% okay with Accutane best acne medication out there. Very little side effects ."


"I was not as lucky as other raters.  I feel happy for them. I did not get a chance to see how effective it could be.  I had a "rare" side effect of greatly increased heart rate.  A few hours after taking one tablet, my pulse rate increased nearly 100% above my normal rate of 55-60 along with an increased blood pressure to the point of being near stroke level.  I now need to add it to my list of allergic reactions -- to date only Indocin and Levaquin have affected me negatively.  All three have affected either my nervous or vascular system."


"wow!"


"I have been on the nexplanon for two months. No major side effects and I haven't had my period since I got it inserted. The only thing is that it made me break out a little. I got this because the Yasmin gave me high blood pressure."


"Been on Lexapro for about 3 weeks after a bad break up. First week was bad, usual side effects. But the past week things have settled down. I feel like I can function at work better. Before that I was totally useless. I still need to address some emotional issues but now I can see some light...Am waiting for the full effects to kick in SOON."


"This is the worst medication I have ever tried to take. It made me severely depressed, almost to the point of being suicidal. I am normally very happy, so the reaction was alarming. Also, I cried incessantly and had terrible vaginal dryness, loss of appetite, and insomnia. I didn't eat or sleep for about 3 days, and I was all swollen from crying. (Keep in mind that these symptoms happened on my honeymoon.) My new husband (who wanted me to be on some form of birth control) begged me to stop taking it.

I stopped taking it, and within 3 months was back to normal. "


"To cut a long story short, NOTHING ELSE HAS EVER WORKED AS QUICK AND AS EFFECTIVE AS THIS MEDICATION FOR ME PERSONALLY FOR SEVERE DEPRESSION AND OR LACK OF BRAIN ENERGY. I've tried at least 5 of the mainstream top draw Antidepressants. I hope and pray my GP doesn't take me off the 100 mgs a day for fear of addiction. When is the medical and pharmaceutical community going to wake up to the amazing healing power of tramadol..."


"Works great, almost immediate."


"just got diagnosed with add and im 19yrs old the doc prescribe me 36mg concerta and this my second day taking the pill and i still feel the same"


Deep Vein Thrombosis Prophylaxis after Hip Replacement Surgery

"It helped me have a stroke faster while I was active and out going left me in a wheelchair with double the pain between my affected side and my back. NO good. Changed my life and my family lives also"


"was on levothyroxine for 7 months. was on the lowest dosage at first, did nothing for my thyroid and also made my hormones crazy, I would get mad for no reason. After my first blood test my doctor bumped the dosage up to double what I was on and still no change, but my doctor kept me on it for another 2 months and after there was no change she took me off of it. I have now been on armour thyroid for 1 1/2 and it has helped me feel so much better and my levels are perfect."


"I took this medication for only 3 days and I experienced extreme tremors, diarrhea, vomiting and even experienced a seizure after the second day. I have been very sick and always tired feeling.   I definitely don't recommend this also my anxiety got worse not better."


"I started this birth control to help with my PCOS and crazy periods. My periods were always 8-10 days and pretty heavy. But I started my period just 10 days into this medicine and it continued for 19 days. I've never had a period that long. My depression was made worse, my sex drive was gone, dizziness, ridiculous mood swings, never wanted to eat, the list just goes on. I never had this issue with the previous two birth control pills I used 7 years ago. Needless to say, I stopped this medicine and will not be taking it again. I'd rather deal with a horrible 9 day period, than a horrible 19 day period."


"was put on flagyl and cipro for 1 week. I'm light-headed and only want to sleep! Nauseous and my mouth tastes awful. I am glad to read all of these posts and I thought I was getting a secondary sinus infection. MY last pills were on a monday and today, wednesday I still feel 'in the clouds'."


"Surprisingly, good. I took a 10mg tablet and 20 min later I was performing at my peak. Felt bigger and stronger and didn't experience the headaches that I had with the others. It also seemed to still be in my system a day or so later."


"I got it inserted in September 16,2013. Reason I remember the date exactly because I was planning on getting it again, but NO WAY!! Don't get me wrong  it is very effective, but the side effects are horrible! I'm always tired, barely energized, very moody, like I don't remember every crying so much in my life than the 3 years of having this insertion, and don't let me talk about the bleeding! First year I'll say I barely bled, like every three to four months, and it'll last like a week or two. Now I haven't stopped, constantly spotting. I'm going to wait until my 3 years are up to have it removed but I will definitely not get it again. Wouldn't recommend it to no one"


"I am 19 years old, no kids and the insertion was painful. I love Mirena, probably the best decision I've made in my life. Super effective, no side effects, and I have actually lost weight. I think everyone should try Mirena birth control."


"This medication helps with my symptoms and controls some of the voices and the sightings that I experienced throughout my use of this medication."


"I had a blocked tear duct with inflammation and this worked almost instantly after trying other drops."


"I'm bipolar. I've been on various medicines for almost 10 years. Well, my Dad died a few months ago. The depression and anxiety was so bad I could not function. My Doctor prescribed this along with my 40mg of Celexa. It took about a month -6 weeks before I felt any better. But I also have chronic pain from spinal arthritis. This medication has helped me get my life back! But in the process, I've gained 20lbs in 8 weeks and I was already overweight. Its helped with my chronic pain and with the depression. I love how I feel on this but not the weight gain. "


"Have been on many antidepressants, most either not effective enough or side effects were too much. I am on 40mg in 3rd month. On the   side I have much more energy, I am no longer sleeping excessively, my anger/irritability is much less. Most important, my depression is much better and emotionally I feel much better. Now, Started getting headaches, severe ones, that only responded to ice packs. Then my blood pressure went way way up. The headaches are probably related to the elevated blood pressure. I also got the sweats (at first I thought it was menopause, but not so).  I was also having a hard time sleeping. Finally heart racing. Will try a bit longer to see if body can adapt to it, because my mood is much better, but worried regarding side effects."


"I'm not sure mucinex works. I know it kept me wide awake. It was hard for me to sleep. When I was awake,  In felt like my balance was off, so I felt dizzy. U couldn't go down spiral steps. I would not recommend it.

"


"One of  my students has had chronic lice last school year and again this school year. I have provided OTC lice shampoo several times and have sent child home weekly with live head lice. Each time child is sent home, child has returned with no live head lice but still having nits. (Our school is not a no nit school.) Each week the child would have live lice again and have to be sent home. I found the article about the FDA releasing Sklice and printed the information for the parent of the student with chronic lice. The student came to me yesterday and I found dead lice in child's hair. I discussed this with the child's mother who said she used the Sklice as directed. So far, so wonderful!"


"LOVE DRYSOL

sweaty palms, feet and underarms are no fun for anyone at any time. Works like a charm after 2 or 3 times.

Just a word of caution, I bought the extra strength and its so strong It feels like I may have even burned my palms. They are SO dry now, and sting even two days later.

However, I'll take dry hands over sweaty ones. First time I can finally put lotion on my hands and not have them dripping in moisture! :D"


"Vicodin was prescribed for my shoulder pain. After taking the medicine for 3 days without relief of my shoulder pain I quit taking the medicine."


"I got in a rear end collision and got severe whiplash and muscle spasms in my back. I was prescribed this and it work wonderfully. I when I didn't take it I couldn't move without pain and suffering. I absolutely loved this because it actually works. Sure it make you drowsy so what a small price to pay for the outcome."


"Been taking it for more than 2 years. Keeps hot flashes away, and also psychic break downs and panic attacks.  Great medicine. "


"Not a huge fan. Had it inserted about 7 months ago and I'm STILL bleeding. Made me extremely moody for a few months as my body was getting used to it. I bleed every time I have sex and I find sex painful."


"I have only been on Lexapro for 2 weeks now for my anxiety and depression. I also have a temper problem, the medicine so far helped my anxiety and got me more active but my anger has got worse. Maybe it's too soon to say if this medicine will help that. But overall I'm starting to like not having the anxious feeling anymore."


"Unless I take this at bedtime, I have difficulty falling asleep as well as staying asleep. I am on the 50mg tabs, but usually only need to take half of the pill. Works VERY quickly, so It needs to be taken when in bed,and ready to sleep! It is just as effective now as it was many, many years ago when first prescribed, no need to adjust the dosage. It allows me to sleep later in the morning, and I no longer wake up every 2 hours.

I take several other antidepressants during the day, but suffer from chronic pain, a good night's sleep makes a huge difference in my comfort level with no side effects either. I wake up feeling refreshed, ready to take on the day!

I highly suggest you try this medication, if Dr suggests it."


"My 14 year old daughter and I were hit head-on by a drunk driver on Xmas Eve of 2015. We both spent weeks in the hospital and she sadly passed 6 months later. I subsequently went into a downward spiral and tested positive for PTSD. 1 mg of Abilify per day has seemingly been transformative. Within a week my symptoms were cut in half. They were reduced further after another week. I am now on week three and doing even better. My only reservation is that I don't sleep as well and have had a few insomniac nights. I'm going to start taking it in the morning and see if that helps."


"Been taking 100mg of Zoloft for about 5 weeks now to treat depression and general anxiety with what also may be a touch of obsessive compulsive disorder.  I have to say the results were better than expected.  I may have experienced a placebo effect within the first week when things seemed magically better but by the second week the anxiety and depression hit again.  By weeks and 3 & 4 it began leveling off and I now feel more balanced emotionally.  My mind isn't spending time fixating on things outside of my control and things have been looking up even though my personal situation has not improved all that much."


"This pill works miracles for me.

It is completely effective against all of my anxiety. It also makes me feel less OCD. I no longer obsess over thoughts or worry while I am on this. Xanax unleashes my creativity. I play guitar, write music and draw a lot. I used to do all these things but have thought I lost interest because I had no inspiration.

I have no side effects except some memory loss and tiredness.

I wish my doctor would up my prescription, I am on 2 mg a day and for the past nine months I have always finished my prescription in 1 - 2 weeks. But this does well for keeping tolerance low and avoiding addiction and dependence. I am on it for 2 weeks and then off until my refill."


"Today I got my 3 month follow-up blood test and it came back undetected!  I am cured, I was a stage 2 so my liver will fully recover.  This virus has been with me almost all my life, 45 years and I consider it a miracle how easy it was to cure.  I feel great and one thing I know is that whatever kills me, it won't be my liver.  I wish you all the same cure results."


"Working very well for me but nervous about how long I can be on it.  It's been just over a month.  Worried I'll never be able to sleep good if I go off it."


"I love this drug. I suffer with severe fear of vomiting and after getting prescribed it for insomnia I was over the moon. Not only does it help me sleep. It calms me down and stops all my anxiety nausea :) been taking it a few times a week for about a year and it's helped me out massively. Only bad point Is grogginess the next day but it's so worth it"


"I promised that I would share my testimony with others if the pill worked, and so here I am! Guys, let me just say that this is my second time taking an ECP (the first time using the generic brand "take action"), but this time I used Plan B. I was intimate only July 1st (which according to my period app, I was not ovulating and had most likely ovulated June 27th) however, you can never be too sure as period apps are not always THAT accurate. Anyways, I was intimate July 1st and my bf swears that he did not ejaculate in me, but you always have to worry about precum as well..so in a panic, I took Plan B the next day about 16 hours later. Needless to say, the pill worked! My period came on today..two days late! Just pray and try not to worry!"


"I've only been on it one month, but so far I really like it. I'm vegetarian and it doesn't give me any problems. For the first week and a half though, I was very nauseous and felt like I needed to throw up and I was very gassy! The nausea has subsided, but the gas still comes back occasionally. It's terribly smelly and I guess it helps to flush your body with a ton of water! I drank 60oz in one day and that seemed to make things better. BUT, before that, I was really gassy and couldn't poop!

I went through planned parenthood and there is a government program that doesn't make me pay for the ring!"


"Xanax is a lifesaver for me! I am 40 years old, diagnosed with Panic Disorder with agoraphobia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and Depression. It all started when I was about 13 or 14 years old. To make a long story short, every other medicine I took, either didn't work, or made me gain a ton of weight (SSRI's). I am currently weaning myself off of Zoloft from 200 mgs. since it doesn't seem to be working any more (down to 100 mgs at the moment). I plan on just taking Xanax alone when I'm off of the Zoloft. It is the ONLY medicine that relieves ALL of my symptoms. I will see my doc tomorrow to discuss what dosage I should take after going off of Zoloft completely, because I do take both right now. I'm just tired of being fat from all these SSRI's!"


"Had another colonscopy done and highly recommend propofal. I met with Anaesthetist the day before and did my own research.  Had a couple of questions, most likely because of  Michael Jackson. A little burning when drug is administered and I was able to taste it as some patients are.  No side effects except for sleeping most of the day."


"It really did not work for me. My eyes itched a bit less, but my nose just kept itching and running. Also sneezed multiple time after 1st dose. Tried a 2nd tablet 4 hours later with no noticeable results. This may work for some people but I get  better relief from Benadryl, which works well but causes drowsiness."


"40 y/o WF I'm in day 3 of Contrave and have lost 2 lbs. can't be water weight because I'm drinking tons of water due to the dry mouth it gives me. No nausea or headache. i will say that I haven't been sleeping well however during the day, I feel almost "speedy." Not twitching or anxious but more energetic and focused whereas normally I could take a nap nearly anytime! I am very nervous about this medication though because in 2007 I had a seizure. I'm not epileptic and they never found the cause but I keep reading how it lowers the seizure threshold. My doctor obviously thinks the risk is minuscule but I'm still leary... Will update:) cheers"


"Product works as expected, very similar to auto-injected allergy medicines. Liquid is visible through clear glass window in center of unit that shows whether or not product is still in usable condition, instructions are written on side of container.  Verbal instructions begin as soon as you begin step 1 by removing the cap, follow each step, up through, and including injection, and calling emergency help.  Comes in approximately 1/2 inch wide rectangle shaped plastic case is about 2X3 inches.
My script came w/two autoinjectors and one test unit for training, which is great.  All these came in a canvas travel pouch with a CPR mouth barrier and rubber gloves."


"You are all inspiring. Two years clean today thanks to Suboxone. It started when I was 22. I had 3 ruptured discs and basically over the next 5 years became completely dependent on pills. The last year I was using my life revolved around pills and fear of going without. I became another person. My life was a lie. I reached my breaking point and I found Suboxone started at 12 mgs. It's been two years and now I am at 2 mgs going off next month. Suboxone gave me the time to heal. I just got married and can't wait to have a baby. My back is still painful but nothing like the pain I was living in with pills."


"This medicine is a major player in my fibromyalgia. It helps me sleep through the night, because it reduces the pain at night. I went off it for a week and I never slept more then 2 hours continuously for that week. I give this medicine a thumbs up for that reason. It doesn't help at all for the pain I have ALL DAY. "


"I have been on daily Truvada for PrEP for 2 years.  I haven't had any side effects and my bloodwork has been normal, and I've remained HIV negative."


"Overweight Mom who thought that I would be that for life. My friend who was on Jenny Craig (it did not work) used this and after following her lead we are both big losers. No side effects except a little tired first week then energy went up gradually. I take my exercise serious now and instead of losing two pounds per week I am at 3.36 per week or more. Flat out works you got nothing to lose because they give you a two week trial free. After that you will be more then happy to pay for it."


"I take tramadol for back pain and to help sleep if need be. "


"So I was prescribed this medication a while ago, but I basically gave up every time things got painful. That for me, was about 5th day in. I'd been told to persevere and that the pain and dryness would stop after the first 2 weeks. But I decided to only use it when I had breakouts. However, this medication brings out the acne before clearing it, so of course your acne is going to get worse before it gets better.

HOWEVER, I now use it everyday. I have very sensitive skin so I can't use a lot of moisturisers because they burn. But I'm using some Garnier moisturiser and an oil based one from lush whenever my skin feels a little dry, and I have not had a painful night since. And no extreme dryness or flaking either. Brilliant!"


"My OBGYN gave me this for Premenstrual dysphoric disorder and it took me a while to actually take it because of the stigma that goes along with taking Prozac. I WISH I had taken it sooner as it has made such a difference. I have more patience, I don%u2019t get angry as much and am happier than I have ever been. I originally was prescribed it for 14 days a month (2 weeks before my period), but it has been so helpful that I am taking it every day. I take 20mg in the morning.

The first couple of weeks I had a hard time sleeping. I would wake up in the middle of the night and couldn%u2019t fall back to sleep. That went away and I have no other side effects.

I know so many people who should be taking this. Someone mentioned that it should be in the water and I agree!"
