"I was born with mitral valve prolapse and started having palpitations when going through a lot of stress in my mid-30s.  I was started on Atenolol 25 mg per day.... then noticed about 10 years later that my heart rate was going up again and had bouts of palpitations.  My Dr just adjusted the dosage to 50 mg per day.  I have asthma also but Theophylline ER 200 mg taken twice daily takes care of the asthma."


"I been on accutane a few weeks , I am seeing results! !! Although my Lips are so dry it hurts the dryness is the worse !!vasaline saved my life!!!!!!! I did get rashes on my hands and arms and itching on my legs! But hey my face looks better at the end a few months of suffering is totally worth it!!"


"I have been spotting for over 30 days."


"I have had chronic sinusitus for 30 years. Sometimes 4 per year and we had to do cultures to make sure we got the right bug after have numerous antibiotics failed. I think allergies and maybe viral infections start it off and then it turns into an infection. This medication has worked for me over the last 10 years ,although we have used other drugs to good effect. I have had few side effects except for dizzyiness and some brain fog for a few hours after taking the drug. It works very quickly on my infections but I do worry about side effects. I have been an avid weight lifter  and never slowed down while on this med and had no issues with tendons or aches. This time I will take it a little easier and just keep my joints and muscles moving!"


"I was worried about using this product after reading mixed reviews. First three weeks were the worst experience ever. It started working on the fourth week. Now at 6 weeks I am so glad I stuck thru it. It was worth the burning, peeling, red  skin and the emotional pain. If you are reading this comment, then you are in the same spot as I was 6 weeks ago. Trust me, I lost hope but continued to use it. Now my skin looks great. Happy I didn't give up and you shouldn't too."


"Just took my third dose (out of five, using the LevaPak).  No bad side effects at all.  Feeling much better and will go back to work today.  No problems with sleep, no itching. Am also using Mucinex to help break up the congestion.

"


"First form of birth control was Zovia. Didn't like it because it made me nauseous all the time. So after a year of being off birth control I decided to try the patch. I like it a lot. No major side effects at all. The only thing is that I did lose my sex drive. Which made me pretty sad but I'd rather deal with that than side effects of other birth controls. I've only been on it for about three months so maybe I still need to wait to adjust. I do feel like I'm gaining weight though. Although I would not completely blame it on the patch because birth control gives you cravings that you can choose to act upon or not. Birth control doesn't make you gain weight. It's what you decide put in your mouth that does. "


"I've only been on Nexplanon for a couple of months. I switched over from the Depo shot, which made me gain excessive weight after having my son (whom I got pregnant with while on the pill). My reasons for switching were weight gain, mood swings, and loss of sex drive. Since I've switched, I have 180'd. I've lost 3 pounds in only 3 weeks, and my other issues also seem to be resolved and I have had no issues with spotting thus far. I could not be happier with what I've gotten, my one and only issue is that my arm seems to itch where it is. I can deal with that as long as I'm not dieting and gaining anymore. I know that this form of birth control affects every individual differently, but I do want to say, it works great for me!"


"Vyvanse is great.  It has a longer dosing window than Adderall XR (12 vs 8 hours for me) and a slightly improved side-effect profile.  As a longtime (~16 years) prescription stimulant user, for ADHD, I would recommend Vyvanse to any user that is currently unsatisfied with their ADHD management.  It is no silver bullet, but there are no silver bullets for ADHD.  It is incremental innovation in a great way. Vyvanse is the first real stimulant to reduce side effects without cutting efficacy."


"I was prepared for some side effects but so far there's only more wetness (not bothersome) and a reduction in sex drive (haven't decided if it's bothersome or not yet). I keep waiting for the scary side effects you read about but so far so good. I am prone to anxiety and headaches but all that has been just business as usual for me, no increase. No slip out. No pain."


"The medication worked well. It does burn after application."


"I have been on this med for 3 months. 10mg a day I can't sleep and I cry alot. My tightness in my chest is gone, but I still feel blah. "


"I take 300mg of XR, have for about two years now: 150 before bed and 150 midday (300 before bed was suppressing REM sleep). It has managed symptoms such as severe suicidal impulses/ideation, however overall I find that it barely sedates me. So I also take 10mg of Maximum strength Melatonin which seems to work in conjunction with the medication to allow me to sleep.

Overall it seems to be somewhat effective, although I would like to take a higher dose or switch to another medication, however my doctor wants to eventually taper me off of it completely. Previously I have been unable to afford my medication and went without for 32 or so hours, the withdrawal was HORRIBLE, I felt sick then tried to sleep and couldn't due to severe spins/vertigo."


"I've been on this pill for over a year I like it it cleared my acne I did gain weight tho kinda having a hard time losing it too and the mood swings are crazy like the first 10 white pills I'm the most emotional and when I start my period I actually feel normal but I'm will to stick to it cause my acne was just so bad and This pill cleared me up so I really don't mind the side affects."


"I started taking Ambien about 3 years ago.  When I first took it I did make the random phone calls and would eat in my sleep but it worked.  I only took it when I absolutely needed to.  I stopped for about a year then the insomnia started again and I took it again and the side effects weren't there.  I still take it every once in a while when I really need it (maybe once a month) and the side effects are still gone. Just sleep and I don't feel groggy in the morning."


"I first started on Latuda at 20 mg two years ago and then my psychiatrist upped it to 80 mg over a month ago. I do not the same irritability and agitation like I had when I was on 60 mg and small things that rubbed me the wrong way before do not have the same affect on me now. I also take Wellbutrin 300 mg and Viibyrd 20 mg in combination with Latuda. All together I now feel more stable than I have since I was 16, and I am now 23."


"Made the cough completely vanish, but had a pretty bad headache couples with constant drowsiness and light dizziness. Definitely worth it, but awful when i have to get a lot done at night (which i often do). Overall: They get the job done, but it ultimately you must weigh the cough vs the side effects."


"My doctor prescribed this for me for my menstrual cramps.  It helps so much. I do get drowsy but I am at home so it's o.k."


"like others have said, it's a foam but it's sticky like glue.  It's helps a little bit in keeping flare ups at bay and it may get rid of some very small spots, but it's not going to do much for any large inflamed patches."


"This medicine worked for me! The other reviews were so NEGATIVE. It SCARED ME so BADLY! I decided to take this medicine for my constipation, and then after I took the pill at 12:30pm after lunch (no milk or antacids with it though). I got online to find out how long it would take for it to work (it stated 6 to 12 hours), BUT for me was 4.5 hours. I did have some discomfort, but I had some discomfort from my constipation too. I am not saying that the other reviewers didn't have this horrible side effects, I am sure they did. I thought I would get on here though, because those negative side effects do NOT happen to everyone! I do have to say though, I am So GLAD I didn't take it before bedtime (like suggested on the box though) because that would have put me up 2:30 AM in the morning, when everything got flushed out). That wouldn't have made me a happy camper, Glad I decide to take it after lunch, and then I was home at 4:30 after work, and went to the bathroom, and it Truly does CLEAN you OUT!! My advice, be smart with the timing and place you take this medicine, if you decide to try it."


"2 weeks into the treatment, first week was awful, burning redness peeling more pimples. Slowly improved I'm feeling a lot better still a little bit of peeling and dry skin and a pimple here and there but it doesn't burn anymore. They say 8 weeks others 3 months to see results so although it's too early to say that differin won the battle I have to say that I'm satisfied. Also I use Clinique bar soap in the morning, Clinique acne cream, and tonic. And at night just st Ives scrub and differin. I wear my regular make up revlon but I want to switch to Clinique. It doesn't hold all day my skin starts to get itchy in the evening. Just be patient!"


"I've been taking escitalopram for more than a month at 10mg daily for my anxiety disorder. Last 2 years ago I took this for more 2 months at the same dose. Last Feb I had observed that my anxiety was back again so I started to take last month. Thanks to God I feel better again now after 1 week, although there is little anxiety but not so compared before. "


"I have been on Belviq for 2 weeks ( just completed the free trial) now and I have lost 7 pounds without really trying. I have noticed I don't eat as much as I used to. I have tried adipex and the weight come off faster, however the side effects are a lot more aggressive. Belviq side effects are barely noticeable. I can eat, sleep and exercise, no shaky hands, no restlessness, no change in the taste of food. So far I'm really liking it and will get the month supply and really try to exercise as I should. Can wait to see the numbers on the scale to keep going down."


"I diagnosed on May 2017 cd4 309, VL 5050.  I am  almost at my fourth week and everything is fine. I didn’t had any side-effects actually maybe first day stomach ache and  headaches. After 30 days  I can say I feel normal healthy and safe again :)  waiting for my results."


"I am currently 10 weeks and 2 days pregnant and upon going for normal blood work required I was diagnosed with chlyamidia. I was prescribed 2 single dose tablets in 500mg. Took them and threw up 4 hrs later. For me it makes it a lot harder since naturally I usually feel nauseated. I literally had to try and sleep or just lay down to avoid throwing the pills up to soon. I wanted to vomit as soon as I swallowed them. However I'll take that cause my health is way more important."


"Have had acne since football as a young teen and used everything resulting useless till sampled Aczone at 23yrs of age. Apply at night after Panoxyl wash typically where I shave face and neck. Magic"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I am 84. After two atrial fibrillation incidents that were two years apart, my Dr. prescribed Eliquix; one 5mg pill once a day.  After ingesting the first pill at 8:00 am, by 11:00 am I was dizzy and just felt lousy. I emailed my doctor, suggesting that I take only half a pill a day. She agreed. After two weeks of feeling lousy, I awoke one morning with my right eye severely reddened and the right side of my head throbbing. It was a weekend, so I went to Urgent Care; they did and echo cardiogram, which showed I was pretty OK.  Before  I went home, I told the Doctor that I would never again take Eliquis.  She didn't like that.  But I went back on my old Metformin/aspirin regime and after six months I am OK."


"I started Qsymia in 2013 at 300 lbs. In 8 months was down about 60 lbs but the side effects became unbearable. Mostly terrible constipation and aggressive behavior and cognitive impairment. Took a break for a few months, then resumed with a little more success. Lost a total of 90, but then put 50 back on. Getting ready to see doctor to try it again. Really want to hit my goal this time."


"This nose spray has been working great for me. It has transformed my allergic life from literally not being able to function to the normal me. I can't be more grateful. No side effects at all. It is also amazing how it was effective from the second use onwards. I do recommend the continuous use of it."


"I had been on an estrogen pill for 8 years, but new onset of migraines prompted my doc to give me this one. (Jencycla)

My hair started falling out, I got acne that I'd never had before, and strong carb/salt cravings. The worst was that my lady bits were soooo dry, it was uncomfortable and sex was horrible.

I got the skyla IUd and all my issues began to resolve within that week of being off jencycla."


"On Topamax for seizures, and Imitrex shots, and I still suffer severe migraines. 3-4 days in, I'll call my nurse practitioner, and God Bless Toradol! Less than a week ago, I had a migraine so severe, I passed out, landing face down on hard tile floor. 6 hours at the ER, a CAT scan, and having been given Compazine, Benadryl, Morphine, and an Imitrex shot, they FINALLY gave me Toradol in my IV, like I asked. Sweet relief! I'll be dipped if I can get my neurologist/PCP/nurse practitioner to prescribe Toradol tabs for when I'm at the 3 - 4 day of a migraine. I "get" how you have to be careful due to liver issues with Toradol - but they WILL prescribe a narcotic for the whiplash I'm suffering as a result!"


"It's the worst medicine I ever had. I started to take Trimethoprim 2 days ago and I feel horrible. It made me dizzy and nauseous. I wouldn't recommended it to anyone - it's worst than UTi"


"This medicine has helped me with my social anxiety tremendously. Before, I would sit at home on the computer all the time, too afraid to really do anything. I skipped school all the time because I was too nervous. Now I'm going to college, making friends, etc. I still get nervous, but not nearly as bad as it once was. This medicine helps me live."


"I have severe HA's (headaches) daily from two bulging discs in my neck and a growth on my brain that adds to the HA's. I have arthritis in my right knee from two knee surgeries. I started out with trying many different oral pain meds. I was tired of taking so many pills with hardly any pain relief. I asked my physician about Suboxone, she prescribe it for my pain; I was sooo happy!! No high/lows and I felt myself again!  Then, my insurance stopped covering it, unless prescribed for addiction. I was prescribed Subutex 8 mg 2x/day which worked just as well; insurance still refused payment. After a year I was given Belbuca 450 mcg every 12hrs; insurance paid. I'm not getting near the relief I was when on Subutex. Don't like it!!"


"Took 5 hours ago. Still coughing. Now I am pooping as well. Came to read reviews because I don't think I could have eaten anything else to cause diarrhea. I'm hoping I don't have 8 hours of stomach issues but it's not looking good. Maybe it doesn't happen to everyone but user beware!"


"Brazileiro'm so my English is bad. I have depression greater than 10 years (I am 47 years old). I would say that in the last two years was in bed 90% of the time without the strength to hold a pen .I only had a bath bath every three months .And when they go me into a psch hospital  Dr he explained a lot to me  mostly about diet 80%. I talked to my doctor here and started taking it. In the first days started an improvement, today I'm there five months out of bed, I made a website to help people with depression .  Mywhole story it almost suicide etc. ). My doctor suggested ESKALITH"


"I started taking this pill on May 9th and started at 242lbs today July 27th I am 205lbs. I fell great hope to lose about 50 lbs more."


"Used to be on Vicodin but addictive. Decided to go otc with sleep aid 50mg. Worked great. I'll be going down to 25 mg after a week of use until I can just use valerian root. But it does work for me."


"This drug has been a lifesaver to me. It's helped provide me with mood stability with an antidepressant effect, whereas lithium only controlled the mania part of my mood. I use this in combination with other drugs  and so far there hasn't been any side effects. I tried decreasing the dosage, and within 2 days I noticed a difference in my mood. I would definitely recommend this drug. This has made a difference in my mood, the way I think, and my overall perspective. This improved my motivation to get work done, since I wouldn't be just sitting around reminiscing in a negative thought loop. It gives me mental freedom and allows me to escape brain fog that has imprisoned my thoughts. Seriously, don't be afraid to try this drug"


"this medicine potentially saved my life! i had no appetite. in three days i lost 7 pounds! my wife took me to the ER, test were ran, and the physician prescribed Zorfan 4 mg and it worked. within ten minutes i was eating a turkey burger with garlic oven fries. my anxiety is gone as well. I would recommend this medicine to my friends and family. MV"


"Just took second dose and was only able to get 3/4 without throwing up. This stuff is awful which is how I ended up here. At least I know I'm not the only one that couldn't get it down. The only reason I gave it a 2 was that it worked.  Never again."


"I am on day 15 of taking Contrave. I took one pill/day for the first 10 days & have been on 2/day for these last 5. Days 1-6: gnawing headache at least once/day; insatiable thirst; significant constipation. During that time, I had decreased appetite, but I think that may have been due to the constipation-there is just nowhere for the food to go! After "clearing" things out with miralax I have a more normal, healthy appetite. No urge to binge and know when to stop. When I started 2 pills per day, I was again very thirsty, which is better in the last day or so. No headache with the increased dose. Down 2.4lbs, but I haven't exercised at all, so "only" 2.4lbs in 15days is perfectly fine with me. I look forward to seeing the long-term results."


"I have had excellent results with this medication and only minimum side effects ( occasional constipation. I am a long-time calcium channel blocker taker and so far it has been an excellent prescription."


"This patch works great. One tip when using it is make sure you constantly have food in your stomach. In the morning on an empty stomach it can make you feel sick. "


"Well I'm 39 and have been having some unexplained weight loss. My doctors and I have been taking the steps to try to rule out what may be causing it. We have determined my gallbladder is bad, but the doc also wanted to do a Colonoscopy and an Upper Endoscopy to rule anything else out. Like some of the others I started my day with a liquid diet. It seems to help. The at 8pm was my first dose of Suprep. There is no comparison between taste and smell. It smells like cherries but has a very salty taste. About 30 minutes in it hit me for the first round. Not to bad. Once the initial dose and the 2-16oz bottles of water passed through, my trips seemed to slow down. My next dose was at 1am and again 2-16oz bottles of water. Be glad when I'm done!"


"Do not take this medication!!! 30 Min after i took it. I had the worst stomach cramps and pains I have ever encountered. Finally after I got everything out I started feeling withdrawal symptoms. I tried to take my Methadone dose so the withdrawal would go away but it didn't help. Im sitting here right now wondering how long this shit stays in my system and thinking about how bad I want to curse my Dr. out. I just wanted to crap not go into full withdrawal. WTF"


"I  started  Wellbutrin ER a few months ago for depression. I had no energy and wanted to do nothing.  It has helped so much with the depression but my hands tremor.  I tried cutting back to once a day and couldn't tell much difference in the tremors. I asked my doctor to give me the XR (150mg)  so that I could take it just once a day. I  felt like I was going to jump out of my skin. I could even feel my lips quivering.  I like that it makes me feel better but don't like the tremors. I can't find anything documented as to whether they will go away in time or continue as long as I take it. I haven't taken it today and I have no tremors."


"Contrave does not control your apetite it mainly causes a lack of interest in food.  I am on my second month and have never felt good taking more than one pill a day.  I have lost 10 pounds, but I think it is more the daily weigh in that makes me more aware.  I hate the vivid dreams......more like nightmares.  I will finish out the second bottle of pills and than lose the rest on my own."


"This spray is a "God Send" for me.  It provided immediate relief to my severe case of vasomotor rhinitis.  I suffered from severe nose congestion,(so much so I almost could not breath), and post nasal drip which were immediately relieved."


"Great for the sinus infection. Feeling much better after a couple of days. However, on day 5 much tendon tenderness and tightness during exercise. I read about the side effects and this is one listed. It is worth it to get rid of the sinus infection."


"I have been using Nuvaring for about 6 months now.  In the beginning, everything was great.  I loved that you could always know which day you were going to start your period. Was easy to use. But over time, I noticed my face start to break out a little more, had weight gain and my vagina was always dry which led to problems within our sex life. My sexual drive also decrease.  As soon as I showed my husband all the side effects, he agreed that i have been experiencing all the side effects listed and he said i was getting off of it asap."


"So far I've had a positive experience with this. I'm on my second one. In March of 2017 I will have had it 6 years. No periods at all. NONE. No spotting. No depression. No mood swings. No hairloss. No decrease in sex drive. No pregnancy's. I will say I've had a decrease in appetite and gained weight. I'd say probably 30ish lbs in 5 years, but I wouldn't say it's been impossible to lose I've been dieting for one month now and have lost 15lbs. I know that it isn't for everyone but it's been good for me insertion left minimal bruising the first time I had it done and on removal and reinsertion it bruised a little worse and was more sore but that's mainly from the first one being removed. I will be getting my 3rd one done in March. (:"


"Originally I started taking trazodone for insomnia, but was fearful of taking too much so I minimized my dose and that was a mistake.  I believe its important to take the amount that starts working consistently for you as you titrate up to a dose that starts working.  And you need to give it time to build up in your system. I'm up to 250 mg when I go to bed, I will take another 50 mg and that tends to give me a couple hours more sleep if I wake up too early.  What's really amazing about this medicine is that I no longer struggle with depression or anxiety.  It keeps my brain in chemical balance and I think clearly with no side effects, except I'm a little tired in the morning.  So I drink a big cup of coffee and that helps."


"The best for clearing up a yeast infection.  Got some relief in a few hours with no side effects.  Have taken many times and totally clears things up within a couple of days.  Such a great alternative to the messy suppositories."


"I have anxiety disorder but I take it to sleep. It works very well to get a good night's sleep. One 50 mg pill at bedtime."


"Everything is great. I've had it for about two and a half months, no bad side effects. I've gained like four pounds, but it's not the end of the world. I've also had lots of spotting, which is expected and that should stop since I haven't had Nexplanon for very long. Besides those two things, nothing bad and I love it."


"I have been taking low dose birth control pills for 4 years. Trinessa Lo isn't too bad.

Pros - very light period, easy to swallow, very little weight gain <10lbs (which is very important to me)

Cons - PMS seems to start earlier than previously, so emotional, hard for me to remember (even with an alarm set on my phone)

In conclusion, I am going to have Mirena (IUD) put in soon. I just think it is time for me to try something else. Also, my schedule has gotten much more hectic and I am forgetting the pills more often. Overall not a bad pill."


"I began taking this drug at 25 mg and worked my way up to 200 mg a day, 100 mg in the morning and 100 mg at night. At first this drug was amazing but it had to be supplemented with sumatriptin in case it didn't fulltake stop the migraine. I didn't loose any weight, but what I did loose was the ability to remember sharp details that I would have been able to before, I would loose feeling in my feet, my legs, my handson, and my arms, and in the worst of it the dizziness got so severe that my vision blacked out. I would not recommend this drug to anyone. This drug may fix your migraines, but it will give you 1000 more problems."


"Best birth control I've been on. It's the only one that hasn't caused migraines for me. I have light spotting or no period at all each month. My mood has greatly improved. No weight gain. No acne. Only drawback has been decreased sex drive, but not enough to make a huge difference. Highly recommend this pill."


"I have suffered with endometriosis since I was 16 years of age... needless to say they did full histerectomy at 34 years of age,  and still suffered painful sex after having my hormones shots each month , I was still having pain, ,, my doctor prescribed this cream and so far so good. Hopefully it continues to help me, this is embarrassing to women especially at this age. .."


"It changed my life.  I was 80% covered with psoriasis.  I used Embrel for a period and it worked well. My insurance switched me to Humira.  It is less frequent treatment.  After having psoriasis from 1977 to 2010, I am now completely clear."


"On lisinopril 10mg & bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg. This dropped my blood pressure from 165/110 to 140/90. I had been avoiding increasing the lisinopril to 20mg. In addition to family history of hypertension, I was 115kg (I'm 6' age 47).
Gradually over past 7 months got weight down to 80kg. Diet, regular cardio (cross trainer) and anaerobic (weights). Stopped the diuretic. BP 130/80.
Initially side effects were persistent, dry coughing but that stopped when I quit smoking. Occasionally a little light-headed a few hours or so after taking. No other problems with lisinopril.
The diuretic was a pain, getting up 2-4 times at night for a pee.
Can't recommend enough the combination of weight loss & exercise"


"After partying almost 30 years in a successful, trouble free life, I began taking antabuse pills a few years ago without a recovery program.  I was told about vivitrol and it interested me in quitting my prescription hydrocodone, benzo, and drinking. My 1st shot was 10 days ago and it does make your mind content. I can tell the drug is wrapped around my receptors. If I where to attempt to take a drink....it feels like I already had one. Not taking pills is no big deal either. I still take a sleep aid at night and Aleve  or Ibuprofen for anything else. I. Am now experiencing eating and sleeping like I've seen normal people do all my life.  A spiritual feeling should come along with that for those of you who are willing to make a change."


"Pros: Works well keeping me alert, no significant downer when drug wears off, can be used on an as needed basis. Cons: EXPENSIVE!"


"This is an update from an earlier post. 4 pumps works so well my doctor is backing me off to 3 pumps. I have found Fortesta works for me better than the generic that my pharmacy was giving me. Changed pharmacies and got the name brand-generics just don't seem to do it for me.

I found some decent information on YouTube about weight loss while on testosterone and a couple of people pointed out that if you are overweight before starting TRT, you may end up also producing estrogen and not be able to lose weight. This did happen to me and being almost 50 has forced me to change my diet.

Finally started losing weight and my free test numbers have gone through the roof. I am surprised at how much information is available. Not from doctors..."


"I started Suboxone 13 days ago after being addicted to opiates for about 2 plus years.  I was like the rest of them buying them off the streets and runnig up about a $150.00 - $200.00 a day habit.  I was stealing money from my husband and my parents and literally could not talk to my kids without screaming by evening.  I agree Suboxone is a life saver but I would like to eventually get off them but I know without them I would still be using more and more every day.  I love my husband again and enjoy my children.  I do suggest however going to NA meetings or therapy so you do not feel alone and have someone else you can talk to if the urge ever arises.  No real urges in 13 days.  Good Luck to all."


"Have fought low Testosterone levels for 10  years (starting in my mid-30's).  T-level range untreated=<200.   Initially, used Testim but it was much too sticky with transfer concerns and because my body did not absorb it well my levels would never get above low-normal.  Was on Striant for several years and it works pretty well but dosing is 2x per day so I could not handle using in evening (kept me awake, anxious, etc).  Two months ago, I was prescribed Axiron and it's the best testosterone replacement!  Applying under the arm eliminates most or any transfer concern and because it's alcohol based, it dries quickly.  I did switch to spray deodorant because roll-ons became sticky.  Most important, I feel great all day and evening and my levels are 500's which seem to be  my best."


"Amazing! Currently on doxy and onexton. To keep this short I will say I've been on tons of other creams and gels and even accutane twice and nothing has worked this quick for me.
My current combo has significantly flatted out my spots in a week. I am still getting a few new ones but I dab some onexton on there and bam. Within 24hrs those pesky spots either shrink or come to a head. I usually have to wait weeks for those under skin ones to go away but this stuff clears them up in a day or so. Yesterday morning I felt a new spot coming up and by nighttime it was gone. Crazy!"


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I am Alfie Lewis from Luxembourg I Never believed i was ever going to be HIV Negative again,Dr Olori has given me reasons to be happy, i was HIV positive for 2years and all the means i tried for treatment was not helpful to me, but when i came on the Internet i saw great testimony about Dr Olori on how he was able to cure someone from HIV, this person said great things about this man, and advice we contact him for any Disease problem that Dr Olori can be of help, well i decided to give him a try, he requested for my information which i sent to him, and he told me he was going to prepare for me a healing portion, which he wanted me to take for days, and after which i should go back to the hospital for check up, well after taking all the trea"


"Added 40 mg/day to Wellbutrin. I don't space out anymore, and actually do things start to finish.

My doctor said Wellbutrin may decrease the effect of stims, and lengthen effective time.

I don't experience any crashes with this combo, but have noticed that some effects from the Wellbutrin are a little less.

This combo is for me for now, but expect will need to change as tolerance grows. Needed 20mg in the AM to begin therapeutic effects.

Definitely could go to bed while on this, don't seem to experience any of the common side effects, or any speediness.

Actually increased my appetite (Wellbutrin suppressed)"


"I was on Lexapro awhile ago, but stopped taking it.  Then my anxiety and panic attacks started coming back, and the doctor wanted to try me on Zoloft.  I experienced horrible side effects, and it made my anxiety worse.  I said I didn't want to take a medicine that causes me MORE anxiety!  I asked if I could PLEASE go back on Lexapro, it had a couple of side effects but nothing like Zoloft.  This is my 3rd day on it again, and already I can tell a big difference.  I would rather take medicine to make me feel normal again than try to tell myself I don't need it.  Because it's not worth spending life depressed and anxious over everything.  I would definitely recommend trying it, to improve the quality of life for an anxious personality."


"I was getting spikes in BP of 165/103. My doctor added 25mg of Hydralazine 3x daily to my Lisinopril 20mg and Metropolol 25mg 2x daily. BP spikes the same, Side effects of headaches, tiredness, lack of concentration. Too much Meds with no good results. Going back to him to get a better plan."


"I'm a 27 year old male. I've had HPV for maybe 5 years from what I know. My ex gf gave it to me. I have two small genital warts on the area between my scrotum and anus. It's such a weird area. The area is itchy and rashing. My doctor treated it early on but it was temporary. He just prescribed me with Zyclara. I just applied my first dose and within not even a minute after crawling into bed, I started to feel weird. I knew something was wrong. I got insanely nauseous, my heart started beating fast like I was anxious, I started sweating and I almost passed out. I was freaking out. I got up and looked in the mirror and I was pale white. My eyes were dialated and I had trouble breathing. I wiped it off and now I'm here writing this."


"I started taking Lyza because my doctor said it would be better to get on a birth control pill with only one hormone due to history of high blood pressure on my Dad's side of the family. I repeatedly said I did not want to switch as my body was perfectly adjusted to the Aubra...but my doctor insisted I try it. I am 1 month in and I stopped taking it last night. I refuse to take one more pill. I hoped this would work for me but all I had were negative side effects that I have NEVER had (and I have been on birth control pills for 10 years!) I spotted the whole month... Continuous spotting. I was extremely bloated and gained 5lbs since I started taking it. I had horrible cramps, broke out, was moody, and it killed my sex drive."


"I used to take Tri-Sprintec but my pharmacy switched me to Tri-Previfem. I have been on it for about a year and at first it was alright but after a few months, I noticed things were starting to change. I started feeling depressed, developing anxiety, and I noticed my libido was declining. I didn't really think much of it but now, it is getting worse and worse. I have been having anxiety attacks, which I never had before taking this. I have been more depressed than ever before. And don't even get me started on my libido. I am only 21 and I never want to have sex any more. I have been with my boyfriend for 5 years and I used to always want to do it. Now, it seems like I have to force myself to do anything and I shouldn't have to do that."


"I've tried, quite literally, every medication there is for panic disorder and Klonopin is the only one that works for me.  After being confined to just two rooms in my house for a year (yes... I was scared to go into the other rooms), I'm now able to go outside and even drive up to twenty miles from my house without a "support person" (three years later).  My first panic attack was while driving and I totaled a car, so this has been a MAJOR improvement for me. I am prescribed 2mgs three times daily but only take 500mcgs as needed, unless I'm having a rush of panic attacks and need to take it preemptively for a few days, because I don't want to develop a low level tolerance.  It's given me my life back."


"I highly recommend Depo. I was on it for a little over 2 years (which is not recommended). I didn't have a period, which I loved, and I only had to go in and get it every three months, which was also very nice. The only reason I stopped Depo was in order to try and get pregnant. Once I am done having kids/take a break from having kids, I will definitely go back to Depo. I also didn't have many side effects from Depo, just breakthrough bleeding some months."


"I am using the 3 day Combo pack of the suppositories and cream. I was able to go about a week not knowing what was going on. I finally went to the doctor who said to try the 7.  I'd like to say that the area was raw, but not from itching/ irritating it myself. I believe many are having issues with burning because of that. I took a shower, laid on my bed inserted the suppository, put on "granny panties" and a light pantyliner and laid there and waited for the pain to start. NEVER happened. Around 30 minutes later I rolled over and went to bed. DID NOT put on the cream though just to not experience double burning. When i woke up in the morning I felt better down there and only had small amount of leakage.Try the suppositories instead of cream"


"Just started it today. Doctor wants to stop the Haldol and taper off the Zyprexa. I also take something for ADD which helps the intrusive thoughts which then allows me to finally concentrate. No nausea as others have stated and just a mild sleepiness. See doctor in 2 weeks."


"When I first started taking this at 5mg twice daily (10mg daily total) for generalized anxiety disorder, I was an absolute zombie, especially in the morning after taking my first dose. I was dizzy and unable to think straight. I was useless and confused at work, making my anxiety worse. Once I cut down to 2.5mg at bedtime, it was perfect for me. The ability to sleep well helped me to make better food choice, exercise more, and think more clearly. If I had more severe anxiety that needed stronger management, I don't think this medicine would have been appropriate for me, but it was great for my situation. I discontinued use during pregnancy but plan to revisit it as an option once I finish breastfeeding."


"Am on a cross-over from Venlafaxine to Mirtazipine due to the libido-destroying qualities I experienced with the former. If ever there was a passion killer list then Venlafaxine would rate up there with halitosis.  It is  great anti-depressant but top of the flops in the pants department.
Started on 30mgs Mirtazipine the other day and two things hit me straight away..... food and serenity.
Will keep it going as am sure the initial 'hit' will subside and I'll rejoin my body sometime but certainly if the libido matches the serenity then 'hello baby!'"


"I bought Monistat -1. So I made the mistake of not looking up reviews before I bought the product. I used it and about 10 minutes later I looked up reviews and found that it makes 90% of the women who have used it have had burning, soreness and itching 10x worse than before using the product. Apparently it's not the infection it's your body reacting to the strong dosage of medicine . Needless to say I went and tried to get this product out of me. It already dissolved from this like pill form to cream so it was definitely harder to get out. I'm scared I'm going to wake up like these women tomorrow with burning itchy hell ."


"OK I'm glad to know what  I'm experiencing doesn't sound as bad as some of you.....so far. I just took the one day treatment just now and came on the Internet to see if this horrible itching is normal. Glad to see it is. But I'm not having burning so far, and it seems that is its subsiding slowly. But man I didn't itch before I put this crap in. And I've taken this kind of treatment before and I don't remember any itching or burning, so this is new to me. I'm hoping I feel better by tomorrow."


"I have been on Xanax for about 8 months after a very difficult period in my life. Xanax helped me very well in the beginning of threatment but quickly tends to lose its beneficial effects. The development of tolerance is a major issue with all benzodiazepines and seems to build fast with Xanax / alprazolam. I had to increase my dose from 0.5 mg twice a day to 2 mg three times a day. Tapering off can be difficult."


"I love Apri. A friend recommended Apri and as soon as I picked up my prescription that is when my love affair with Apri began. Prior to taking Apri, I had severe PMS (irregular periods, depression 1 week before and 1 week after my period, horrible cramps, acne) so my doctor suggested a birth control to help regulate my PMS symptoms. After taking Apri, my acne has completely cleared up, no weight gain, 3 day periods with light bleeding, and no depression. I haven't noticed increased bust size and no change in my sexual desires. I do have increased discharge. But that would be the only bad side effect."


"I got the implanon when I was 18. At first I had no bleeding. Few months later I had regular periods and terrible mood swings. I have no idea how my boyfriend at the time put up with it. I then started to have long and heavier periods lasting about two weeks. My normal period is 4 days. But after that I wouldn't have a period for months. Then the heavy bleeding. Now I'm just spotting. Had a nasty discharge with this. Freaked me all the way out. Still have this problem and it's due to come out in the fall. Over all. Very effective."


"Have had Nexplanon for a year.

Pros: No pregnancy, no daily pill, no headaches, no mood swings, no loss of sex drive, long stretches w/no period.

Cons: Terrible insertion experience, lengthy periods, weight GAIN!!!

Insertion - First off, getting this thing inserted was a nightmare. I had to go back about 4 times due to pain, infection and immobility in my arm. Now I have scars/keloids so bad I am considering a tattoo to cover them.

Cycle - Long stretches w/no period, but when I do get it, it lasts for 2 weeks-1 month!

Weight - Had Norplant for years and NO side effects. I heard of others having weight gain but I never did. With Nexplanon, I have gained 30 pounds and NOTHING I DO takes the weight off. Strongly considering getting it removed."


"So this is my second time on this birth control. When I took it correctly I wouldn't have many periods and never super painful. I'm terribly sensitive to most birth controls. My migraines were so bad they thought I had a tumor. But it was too much estrogen in the birth control. The first time went well but I was taken off of it due migraines again with auras. But later I figured out it was biotin instead. So far I'm 4 months on this and my skin hasn't looked healthier in the past 6 months. My periods are more like two days of light cramping and then brown sludge for 3 to 4 days. I'll gladly take that over other periods for sure. For me this works because it's such a low dose."


"I just removed the implanon today after having it for 3 years. This implanon really works if you want to avoid getting pregnant. The first month of using it, I got a cyst. I was told it's due to hormonal changes for using the implanon. I didn't remove it.
For the last three years while on it, I suffered from hair dryness and hair loss. My breast size went from C cup to F. I get spotty period that lasted 3 weeks alternating with a week of no period. I struggled to lose weight even with very regular exercise and no carb diet. The only way to lose some is when I didn't eat anything at all. I was a size 6 but now I am a size 22.
Today I went to remove it and it was painless, The cyst were no longer there. No, I will not use it again."


"given Clindamycin  after infected tooth pulled. on day 5 of 7 ,300 mg every 8 hours. I have IBS and diverticulosis anyway, but do seem to be having more diarrhea.  last night I thought I was going to die, not really , but I almost wished I would. First of all my whole digestive track felt very irritated.. my jaw, ear , throat and whole right side of my face was hurting worse than it did before.  managed to sleep for awhile but awoke with that side of my face feeling like it was on fire. No fever though. I put an ice pack on it .I felt fine this morning. To me it seemed like all the infection came to a head and must have drained or something . IF ANYONE HAS BAD DIARRHEA DON'T FOOL AROUND SEE DR ASAP  it could be C DIF and can be fatal !"


"I started Phentermine 37.5 on Sunday, April 30th 2017. I am 5'6 and 210 lbs. My issue is that a year ago I started a desk job and I packed the pounds on quickly. I have always been a bigger person but I have never been this big. I always thought about food all day - wondering when and what my next snack/meal was going to be.  I should mention that I have been splitting these pills in half per my doctor. The first day I took it  I had lots of energy and no appetite. Like a switch flipped in my brain and suddenly I wasn't thinking about food and my stomach wasn't growling. I never eat breakfast, just drink my daily coffee and have been eating a fruit cup from lunch and then I eat dinner as usual with the family.  I've lost 4 lbs so far!"


"Several years ago around 2004, Wellbutrin (brand name) helped my depression.  Here recently, I was taking the generic Bupropion (Wellbutrin). I recently changed again to the real Wellbutrin along with 1 mg Abilify and the results have been amazing!"


"Hey guys. I'm giving an update from 10/20/16. I am 5"3 and My starting weight was 300 lbs. I am taking phentermine 37.5 mg capsule once a day since then. I am being weighed weekly at the doctors office. The first weight in was on 10/27/16 and I was weighed in at 291. So in one week I lost 9 pounds. Today, 11/3/16 I was weighed at 284.6 pounds. I lost 7 pounds for that week. So total amount of weight loss in a 2 week period I have lost 15.4 pounds. Now I do have extreme dry/cotton mouth and also numb/tingling hands and face. Not sure what the deal is with that but upon looking at the side affects that is a side affect listed. I'll keep updating."


"This drug made me so sick with flu symptoms that my doctor agreed to stop it after only three weeks.  My MS symptoms became debilitating and improved soon after stopping the medication."


"So this was my first time self treating a Y.I, I used the monistat 3 day treatment with the cream applicator. It immediately stopped my itching and I haven't had any problems with the burning sensation like some of the other users."


"Love, love, love this drug. Spent seven months in total depression and attempted suicides.  Tried four other antidepressants which didn't help. Effexor saved my life literally. Started working within 3 days at a dose of 300mg. I'm now happy, not anxious, not depressed, not suicidal. I'm back to being me.   No nausea or major side effects, apart from low libido which is common for this class of medication and insomnia.  Works for those who genuinely need serotonin to be be restored to their brain.  Worth a shot, if other medications have failed."


"I have always had over bleeding issues and have used many different estrogens throughout the years. This one immediately gave me a very short cycle and the following month no bleeding at all. I couldn't be happier. No symptoms otherwise. I also would like to note that the pills go into the last week farther than a standard birth control packet, meaning less days to bleed,followed by a two day dose of iron. What more could a girl wish for."


"I feel psychotic! I had a baby two months ago and needed a low dose estrogen pill. I feel overwhelmed, anxious, bloated and very emotional. After having an emotional breakdown over nothing, I am stopping this immediately. "


"I am a week into this.  I shower in the morning and after completely drying, squirt half of the tube on each shoulder then rub in and around until it is spread with my first two fingers so not to waste it on my hands.  I then wait as long as I can prior to putting on a shirt so it can completely dry.  Just a little odor and not noticeably sticky.

I feel less tired but it is still very early to say."


"I also switched to the respiclick. It was zero help. It did nothing to open my airways. I didn't work what so ever. The regular HFA works like a charm. I don't understand how so many people suffer from lung problems and the pharmaceutical companies make this medication so expensive. This medication should be on the $4 plan at Walmart and Target. I have to pay 50 every month which is expensive and that's with insurance."


"I was on the Ortho Evra patch for a couple years and after the first 3 months of your body adjusting to it, (which you are forewarned about) just regular side effects, mood swings, regular cramps (when your time is almost near) and I believe it gave me a high sex drive. I've been off of it for about 5 months and my sex drive plummeted dramatically. It's extremely convenient due to my forgetting to take the pill everyday. I usually put it on my pelvis and rotate sides each week."


"I switched from Bentyl to this because this is an extended release formula.  I tried it for 5 months and went back to Bentyl.  It didn't work any better and it dried me out so much I could hardly swallow.  After a bad flare up, I ended up at the ER and they thought I was very dehydrated but I wasn't, it was just the medicine.  I am going to talk with my GP about using something with phenobarbital as I have heard a lot of positive things about it.  I already take a migraine medicine with phenobarbital, so I should tolerate it well."


"It worked great far as not getting pregnant for 3 years, but I dealt with a lot of side effects: depression, mood swings, change of appetite, back pain, headache, an increase of discharge, and irregular periods"


"Been on this birth control for about 6 months now. I had tried so many other pills and everything gave me side effects like extreme anxiety, weight gain, high blood pressure, and breakthrough bleeding. When I switched to this one the only side effect I had was weight gain but now on my sixth pack I'm starting to get really bad acne around my chin and forehead and my horrible menstrual cramps are back. Thinking about switching again. My poor skin has scars now:( It does however work to prevent pregnancy though."


"Works well but causes dry throat and dry nose.  Combined with melatonin and was out within 20 minutes."


"I initially suffered compression fractures of L1, L2, & L3 with fractures of the vertebrae & 20% disc space loss between L1 & L2 & L2 & L3. Only 8 months later I had the unfortunate experience at a sporting goods store, a 240lb shelf fell directly on my head knocking me out cold for 30  seconds. That also led to a fractured C5, nerve damage, & a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). I was lucky enough to get in to see 1 of the best pain management doctors, who was working out of a hospital in Denver at the time, and he put me on Roxicodone 30mg x 6/day and I've never had a more effective medication! It truly made the pain vanish & I could go about my day as normal. I moved to IL & they drastically lowered my meds & switched me to Dilaudid & it isn't nearly as effective!"


"I take Humira for rheumatoid arthritis and so far it's the only medicine that works for me. I've tried Plaquenil and methotrexate but they don't even touch the pain/swelling.  I began to feel relief the morning after the first shot of Humira. Don't let the instructions scare you. The shot is not painful. I let it stand on the counter 15 minutes before I give it so it's not so cold. My Doctor suggested that I sit in a straight back chair so that the abdominal area is already pinched and you'll have both hands free, then pick a spot on my stomach that's 2 inches away from the navel and just do as the directions explain. You won't feel the needle, but the medication will burn just a little.  I can't even say it hurts. Don't be afraid."


"After I had my baby in September, I decided to get Nexplanon. I got it implanted in November and had normal periods for about two months and then they stopped altogether!"


"I was on celexa for about a month. I started feeling very paranoid and started showing psychotic symptoms that I've never had before. I ended up in the hospital for a week. I still have anxiety problems to this day. Be careful with this medication."


"I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and absolutely love Gianvi. This is my first birth control and I've been on it for almost a year. I was diagnosed with PCOS and my gyno put me on the medication. For me, I was getting periods every 9 months which to some people is a dream. But not for me. Now that I've been on the pill I do get it monthly and it lasts me about 4-5 days. And its done wonders for me. I've lost weight, my blood pressure has decreased. Used to be in the 160's and my breast have gotten larger. I don't suffer from mood swings but I do get terrible cramps but easily taken care of. And for acne, my skin has always been somewhat dry so I haven't noticed a difference. I would recommended this for people."


"It actually works really well for me. Especially when I was an opiates user and didn't take any laxatives my stools were so hard and big that I would resist going as long as I could because I was so afraid of the pain. On average I wouldn't go for 2 to 3 weeks and there was once I didn't go for 2 months and had to go to the er. I'm now taking a medicine to get off opiates called methodone and my bowel movements aren't nearly as painful but still give me problems. After taking miralax my bowels motions would come out with absolutely no pain but if you don't do it everyday it will keep happening"


"I have GAD with mild depression which caused a lot of tension in my shoulders and confused, muddled thinking with poor memory. I tend to be really irritable and short tempered with mood swings. I've so far taken Cymbalta for about 4-5 months. My mood swings, irritability and temper have improved. I am able to think much more clearly and remember better. The bad, my social anxiety hasn't improved much and I gained about 5 pounds. Otherwise no side effects. It doesn't make me sleepy, spacey, numb, nor does it diminish my libido. It isn't a wonder drug but it's nice to have fewer side effects."


"Would not recommend. It might work for some women, but I personally bled heavily for two weeks straight every two weeks and the doctors told me I wasn't giving it enough time but it's been a year. Which is 1/3 of the time it can even be in there. If you haven't had children yet I wouldn't recommend it."


"Been on this med for 1 week.  30 mg.  Within hours I felt better.  I have fibromyalgia and depression.  Was on 30 mg Celexa for 18 years and it no longer worked.  Fibro became so bad I was afraid I would have to retire.  Couldn't work properly and difficulty concentrating in the office.  Went to a new doctor who recommended Cymbalta.  Started it in a.m. and by 3 p.m. the pain was starting to ease.  A miracle drug to me.  Stayed on 10 mg for 5 days along with the Cymbalta.  When stopped Celexa no withdrawal.  This med has changed my life.  The sun came out again.  Everyone reacts differently to meds so I won't say everyone should take, but it certainly has worked for me."


"I took plan B a little over 24 hours after un-protected sex. For some reason, I was dumb and didn't think about the possible consequences of not being on birth control, not using a condom, and possibly ovulating. I got my period about a week after I took the pill. It was a really weird period, with dark blood, and eventually more bleeding than I usually have (with clotting). Right after I took the pill, I had cramps which I freaked out about, only realizing later that my body was getting ready for a period. I was nervous that it wouldn't work, but getting my period a week later was 100% of the reassurance I needed. Worth the money- my only regret was not taking the pill sooner."


"Had a rip roaring oxycodone addiction, always chasing living in a nightmare, no money at all. Once I got on Suboxone life has done a 180. If you are in that cycle of addiction, go get Suboxone, you will not look back."


"I am 31. I have had Mirena for 3 1/2 years. I loved it. No periods, little cramping, no weight gain.  I run 3 miles a day 5-6 days a week and watch my diet.  About 6 months ago I got really sick with what I thought was ear infection...nope turns out I am suddenly retaining fluid in the bones in my ears. Pretty painful and I have to take a Diuretic to combat it. Although it is manageable with low salt diet and pills, it gets worse around my period, which has now started spotting randomly...about every 2 weeks. Sometimes I get a sharp pain, cramping and nausea. My back aches for no reason. I am suddenly gaining weight and my eyes are dry, I am always tired. I see the Doctor next week. I think its time to come out, we'll see. "


"I have been taking tramadol for 8 years.  Looking at all these reviews, my first response was that many of these folks are lying. However, maybe the effectiveness of this drug and its side effects are indeed all over the spectrum.  I researched the drug when first starting to use it and it had many fewer warnings and potential side effects then.  It was not considered a narcotic.  Here's my view.  It removed my pain which had me on the verge of suicide, sitting on the foot of my bed in tears.  It removed all my pain, 100% with absolutely no side effects at all.  No dizziness, sleepiness, nausea, withdrawal problems, tolerance  buildup at all.  Taking for 8 years now 100mg at 6:00am and 100mg at 6:00pm every day.  A miracle to me!"


"It has helped me like no other medicine I have ever been on. Almost to being a wonder drug. The only problem I have is the side effect of weight gain and swelling in three weeks. I've gained 6 pounds and am so swollen in my legs trying to find a way to fight off the side effect. Will try anything. I feel like I have a quality of life with this medicine."


"This is great  stuff. I've had vertigo for 48 years and this works better than the prescription medicine."


"I got the mirena in November 2015 and on February 23, 2016 I had horrible double over in pain type pain and cramps.  I didn't know what was going on and it got to the point where I couldn't move, walk or sit. I went to the dr and had blood drawn and a urinalysis. Both tests came back normal so the dr ordered an pelvic ultrasound. I had the ultrasound on March 2, 2016 just to be told that my iud not only moved but it broke. Part of it is poking my uterus and that's the pain and the other part is in there somewhere.  Well tomorrow March 3rd I will be having surgery to remove it. Hoping that she only has to remove it and doesn't have to do a hysterectomy. This is the worst experience ever and hopefully they ban this iud"


"I had been on makena since my 20 week so far it's been good no side effects and I'm currently 35  weeks and 2 days now so Monday will be my last shot "


"At 10 mg my HbA1c dropped an entire point however I have only lost a lb or two over 3 months. Now I am up to 25 mg. I have dry mouth and peeing all the time. I take low dose Lisinopril to protect my kidneys. I am still on 2000 mg metformin daily. I weigh 160lbs and would love to drop 40-50 lbs."


"After taking a 30 mg tab one hour later felt like I was spinning and bp went up "


"As for me, I've been struggling with allergic rhinitis and my doctor said it was hereditary so every now and then I have it when triggered with less sleep, stress and poor nutrition. Now to the results, it just works wonders for me since my rhinitis usually pairs with acute bronchitis so it's very hard for me to sleep because my nose is clogged and I have to breathe with my mouth and it can be one of the worst things because my cough would then be triggered by the dryness of my throat. Every time I take Iterax(Philippines brandname) I can finally sleep smoothly without being disturbed and helps with the itchy but hurting throat and clogged nose. Hope this helps. Been a living witness to this medication"


"I had a great experience using this product when using the appropriate skin care routine (using harsh products will make your skin peel and burn and can be frustrating even painful) I wanted to share what products works for my sensitive skin (I don't have any discomfort using differin since)

Clinic take the day off oil balm
fresh soy face cleanser
cotsco kirKlan makeup wipes (only makeup wipes gentle enough for my face)
after putting my eye cream and differin at night I moisturize with seaberry face oil moisturizer from fresh then follow with a lip balm."


"Im a 53 yr old PunkRocker. I drank for Forty Years and have been Sober 7 months, I take Gabapentin 300mg. 3x a day and I no longer have alcohol cravings with the help of this medicine and staying positive. Good Luck Everyone.Peace."


"So basically since I was around 20 (I'm 36 now) I've suffered from general anxiety and horrible panic attacks, really bad hypochondria. I've gone to the hospital thinking I was dying of everything. I graduated from an Ivy League college and suffered the entire time. Finally I decided to bite the billet and try lexapro (brand name not generic). I started at 10mg and had a week of terrible side effects including: depression, couldn't cry, weird feelings hard to describe, insomnia, increased anxiety, fatigue, all around shaky feeling. I couldn't deal with it so I started to cut the pills in half to 5 mg- side effects went away except I have increased libido (it gets annoying). No panic attacks. Still have anxiety a little tiny bit."


"I am 55 male, my Atrial Fibrillation was getting worse, then on Oct 2012, I did not feel very well, so walked to the ER to have them take a look. Well, they said my heart rate was 170 and irregular, so they kept me there for 2 days, giving me medicine to slow it down. Then discharged with Diltiazem once a day. After 2 months, doc said let's try to fix the rhythm with cardioversion, so he gave me blood thinner for a month, and Flecainide 2 days before the cardioversion. On the day I was supposed to be cardioverted, my heart was back to sinus rhythm due to Flecainide. So doc told me to stay with Flecainide 100mg twice a day. Been 2 months now, feeling good, always in sinus.
Tomorrow going to see doc and ask him if I can go with 50mg twice daily, or entirely off."


"I'm 22. Had been suffering with depression and a little social anxiety since I was about 12. I finally mustered up the courage to talk to a doctor and he prescribed me Prozac. I have been on it a month now and I'm doing a whole lot better with the depression but not so much my anxiety. The first 2-3 days were the worst I have had in a long time. But after those I started feeling great. It makes me drowsy and I'm able to have sex normally but I can never finish."


"As a working mom, I literally do not have time to nap during the day. It finally became enough of an annoyance that I saw a doctor for the first time in 7  years.  Moral of the story, I was diagnosed with narcolepsy and prescribed Nugivil (250mg).  I am not thrilled to be taking a (possibly addictive) medication the rest of my life, but I want to explore my other options (rather than consume 3 energy drinks/day). So far, I have only been on it a week and after the headaches and no sleep wore off, I now get only a short time where I feel like I am ALL there.  To say I gave it a fair shot, I am going to stick it out for a month."


"When I first started it I got really emotional & would get irritated easily but that all subsided after the first month or so. No weight gain, no acne, no pregnancy lol. But about the only downfall to this medication is that if I don't eat quite a bit right before I take it, I'll wake up in the middle of the night feeling nauseous & not able to go back to sleep. I can't just eat a cracker or some chips & take it, my stomach has to be full. Different medications effect everyone differently so that might just be me but I'm kinda curious as to whether anyone else has had this side effect from this medication?"


"I've been taking Zoloft for 6 months now...began at 25mg. and worked up to 75 mg.  I'm a person who hates being on medicines, so I tapered off to 50 mg and then tried to go back down to 25 mg.  Unfortunately the symptoms came back, racing pulse and anxiety.  I'm now back at 50 mg and feel even keel.  It has been humbling for me to admit that I need this medication and I dislike how it makes you feel dependent on it, but I also realize it is doing its job.  I have lost 5-10 pounds since starting it.  The first few weeks I was in a fog and suffered horrible headaches and nausea, but per my doctor's words those symptoms did subside.  I've not had a single panic attack since starting Zoloft.  "


"Tinidazole worked within a few hours of taking it no side affects just a miracle cure. bearing in mind I have already taken 2g of metronidazole 2 weeks ago (no side affects with this either I think I must have the constitution of an ox) and the symptoms cleared a little after a week but returned. I reckon although this was more expensive it was worth it. Please don't be scared to take these meds. Don't read too much into reviews, I did and scared myself. Everyone will have different experiences. But I am just thankful we have these cures."


"I love this birth control. With all 4 of my children, I start taking this pill daily 6 weeks post partum. I've nursed all my children for over a year. With my first 3, I never had a period until my child weaned around 13 months old.  My 4th is 10 month old and I just started a period. Not sure why but not worried about it.  This time we also use condoms for extra protection but we didn't with the other 3 and we never had any surprise pregnancies. Effective and I've never had any noticeable side effects other than being less moody and more even keel. Normally no cramping, spotting, nothing.  Great method for us. I'll probably continue using it after my dd weans and use condoms as well."


"Best pain medication I have ever had."


"Gave me brain shocks and worsened my panic attack. I understand that different medications are for different people but this gave me migraines. 5mg."


"I started the victosa 20/3/17 I have been taking it for a few weeks now was on 0.6 and now I have increased  to 1.2 I had some side effects like nausea and constant sulphur burps they calmed down after about a week I am over 10 pounds down in nearly 3 weeks and also feel full throughout the day and night :)"


"My acne was horrible and literally hurt. I had huge zits all over my chin, back and face. Going on Claravis wasn't easy, but I've been off it for 2 months and haven't had one zit yet. It changed my life and boosted my self confidence extraordinarily. I get compliments on my skin all the time and I am so so so so SO thankful for Claravis - it was my miracle and I know without it my skin would have never ever been this beautiful."


"I have been using oxycontin for approximately for 5 years, without any major dramas. Some minor constipation in the beginning but sorted that out fairly quickly. "


"I don't think it's that bad... yet.  I've only had one shot on June 2, 2017, so maybe it hasn't happened yet?  maybe?  Sure, I have leg and muscle pains, but I did before too.  There isn't anything unusual to report... but it hasn't been even two months yet.

This shot is not like Forteo which is absolutely the best osteoporosis shot imaginable... but you can only take that a couple years max.

The biggest complaint I can think of with this stuff is that you will lose bone mass really, really fast and be much more likely to fracture once you stop taking it for six months.  And that is a scary thought.  For that I give it a 6,0"


"It did help a bit, but you really have to watch out for side effects. I recommend starting a mood journal if you haven't already while taking this medicine. It made me very violent without realizing it."


"It works!!!!!!"


"I took 4-250mg during 1 meal.  My doctor said that this dose was enough for me to clear the infection. I am 5'3, 170lbs. To avoid stomach pain, vomiting or nausea, she suggested that I take 2 bites of my meal, take a pill.....2 more bites, take a pill and so forth. It worked well!"


"I have used Prozac for premenstrual dysphoric disorder, anxiety, panic disorder and depression and it has helped a lot.  When I first started the drug, I lost 25 lbs, I think due to the fact that I felt better. My panic attacks were gone and I could actually feel the drug calming me down.  Prozac got rid of my PMS and PMDD completely. With Prozac I can even think more clearly and I am more alert and think quickly in stressful situations, instead of being stressed out and in a panic. The only side effects are that after I went back to the drug after being off of it for a while, the weight loss stopped and I had to watch that I did not gain weight.  Also, the sexual side effects, but aphrodisiacs help a lot."


""Graduated" to codeine after finding paracetamol and aspirin were not doing it for my foot (varicose) ulcer pain. Helpful in small doses, but I was surprised at the level of drowsiness it caused, even when off the drug for more than 24 hours. Also, eating lots of fruit is helping to alleviate some of the constipation I was warned about."


"I have Atrial Fibrillation and thought I would try Eliquis due to its superior safety protocol.  I have only been on it for 2 weeks but after the first several days, I have noticed an increasing burning/flushing sensation similar to a sun burn over most of my body.  I have not had any gastrointestinal upset.

I will continue to take Eliquis for a few more days but may have to discontinue it."


"I have been afflicted with hyperhidrosis for over a decade. A pharmacist told me about Drysol. I followed the products directions, and applied it before bed time for three consecutive nights. To test it I ate very spicy food. In the past my head would have been drenched, but it was totally bone dry. Drysol is a God send! It is truly a miracle cure. I will follow the directions and apply it once or twice a week. It really alters and shrinks the sweat glands. I can't say enough great things about this fabulous product. My life has really changed for the better. Thanks from the bottom of my heart Drysol makers!"


"My daughter suffered from depression and anxiety and had tried SSRIs. We thought this might help give her more energy and feel better since it affects dopamine. However, over the summer her anxiety got worse. At college her anxiety got even worse. She became paranoid and even started hearing voices. She ate very little and slept very little. She stopped going to classes and had suicidal thoughts. She called me and said she felt constantly "jittery," so I told her to get off the drug. Basically, it increased her energy and made her mood much worse. I don't recommend this for someone who suffers from anxiety since it affects norepinephrine - the fight or flight response."


"I love my gabapentin I currently take 800mgs 4 daily I've been taking them for around 4 years... my whole family suffers from anxiety and my mother was the first to take it who recommended me to tell my doc because antidepressant just didn't work for me. So I asked and I'm glad I did.. I watched my whole family also abuse xanax and I refused to go down that road. So I'm perfectly happy with it"


"Promethazine was prescribed twice to me for mild sedation by my neurological doctor. I tried in in doses between 10mg  and higher. This doesn't make me drowsy unless I'd had pain also and taken  an opioid with it. The only effect I received was the taste of it. The second time it was given to me instead of zopiclone. Still, no effect.
I tried it once as a treatment for nausea; 40mg. didn`t work."


"I was given xanax in the hospital when people at work thought I was having a heart attack. My anxiety shot up so bad, my heart rate was 170. Been on 2 mg a day ever since (this happen 2 months ago). I only take 1 1/2 mg a day & it works for me.  I feel like I have control of my life again.  I have heard stories & seen people on it who over take it but if you take it as prescribed,  it works."


"I had Implanon inserted in May 2009. The procedure was quick and painless. The only difficulty at that time was finding a practitioner trained in the insertion method.  The first two years on Implanon were wonderful, no periods, cramping, or other symptoms. Very worry free and effective.  Starting the 3rd year-when the dosage is decreased, I began having my period every other week for nearly 6 months now.  They are not light or spotty but full periods with all the symptoms.  I'm now deciding to remove Implanon early because of this. "


"After having unwanted side affects with two other statins, my PCP suggested trying Crestor.  This was about 6 years ago.  Since then, as he states it, I could be the poster boy for Crestor.  At only a 5mg/day dosage my cholesterol level has dropped from ~290 to consistently below 200 with no side affects.  My only concern is there is no generic alternative and it is VERY expensive when the insurance companies declare that it's not in their formulary of preventive medications.  I've been lucky that my PCP has been able to convince the ins co that I can't tolerate an alternative, so have not had to pay for the medication for the past several years (treated as preventative).  That's changing now that I'm retired and have to go to new insurance"


"Did not work for my anxiety and made it difficult to maintain an erection."


"Anxiety has been crazy since moving cities and hard finding work. I can't calm down. Started lexapro or the generic brand  at 10mg a day. Had orgasm problems first like 4-5 days hard to urinate. Mild head ache. And vivid dreams. But I stuck it out after two weeks side effect mostly went away and doctor instructed to up it to 20mg a day and now I honestly feel no extra side effects most have all gone away already by week 3. I feel a little better about being able to control my anxiety and intrusive thoughts. But still feel kinda depressed and anti social. I'm gonna keep trying tho. Its helped the anxiety already so I think it'll take longer for everything to settle in. I take it at night cause it makes it sleepy. Wake up fine the next day."


"I was started on Avinza after back surgery. It took a bit to get an effective dose as I had back pain of 8 on a 1-10 scale, constantly. Since finding the correct dose for me, my doctor has only had to increase the Avinza once. I also take Lortab 10/500 on the average of once a day for breakthrough pain. This keeps the pain under control and I can work still. If it weren't for this drug, I would not be able to move without excruciating pain."


"My back pain is about 80% gone, but I am really constipated since Sunday and now it's Wednesday."


"I've had mine in for over six months now, and I love it. My periods were light before insertion and I've never had cramps. For the first three months after insertion, my periods were very heavy, but the blood flow has decreased every time. Still no cramps. Very painful first day of insertion, but 100% worth it. I also love how there are no hormones and its long lasting. Would highly recommend. But, if you don't mind hormones and have a heavy flow, go with the Mirena"


"I went to the ER for pain in my lower back & my stomach. The Dr said I had an UTI which I didn't think that was the case cause I didn't have the symptoms of a UTI. Anyways, I started using the pills (Antibiotics) & about an hour of using it I felt nauseas, dizzy & started vomiting,itch all over my body & also I lost my appetite. I throw the pills away, I don't recommend them at all. I never have been allergic to any medication in my life."


"I am highly surprised at all the negative  reviews of this pill. It's in unfortunate that so many women have had a negative experience with this. As for me, this is by far one of the best birth control pills I have ever taken. I started taking this three months ago as a form of cycle control. I skipped the placebo pills for the last three months.

 Honestly, I haven't had any issues with mood swings's, in fact I felt happier which is an interesting side effect.  Normally when I start a pill pack, the first three days are extremely nauseating. With this pillpack, I did not have any nausea. I also had an extremely high sex drive.  Based on my experience I would recommend them to a friend. Glad I didn't Read the reviews first or else I would've turned them down. Keep an open mind everybody's body will react differently."


"After taking Ropinorole I started binge eating, uncontrollable spending, Itching and various other side effects. My restless legs were controlled with 2mg  but it did nothing for the same problem taking 2 x 0.5 mg of Ropinorole. I have to go back to my doctor and see what can be done."


"The best by far of pain medication I have taken.  I like that it lasts all day.  I take the 30mg for osteoarthritis pain and neck degenerative disk pain. It makes me able to live my life. The BEST!"


"I hate Aubra! It has been affective in preventing pregnancy which is obviously the great part. However, my sex drive has drastically decreased, I've been cramping since week 2, I've been extremely emotional, and now I've been menstruating longer than usual (it has always been 3-4days now I'm on day 6). My appetite has definitely increased especially closer to me menstruating. I'm just not enjoying this birth control at all! I will not be starting a new pack!"


"I started Zoloft 3 weeks ago, very skeptical about how effective it would be for me. My anxiety was through the roof every second of the day. I was also taking Ativan 1mg twice a day to be able to function.  3 weeks later i am a new man.  The first week will be tough as i experienced nausea and completely lost my appetite.  Lost 10 pounds in a matter of a week and a half.  Trust in the medicine and let it work its magic.  I am currently tapering off Ativan because Zoloft is doing its job"


"Well I just started taking Prozac to help me deal with depression and anxiety.  I returned from from a tour in Iraq about three months ago and my symptoms kept getting worse and worse.  I've been taking Prozac for about a week now and I'm already feeling relief from it. It's like all the problems are still there, they just dont get to me like they used to. It's been very helpful so far."


"I had my gallbladder taken out 2 years ago, after 18 years of having stomach issues and pain and several doctor visits, they told me I needed to have the surgery and get my gallbladder taken out, then the doctor told me I had irritable bowel syndrome, he told me I would not be able to eat anything greasy because if I did it would go right through me, well I stopped eating greasy foods and ate grilled chicken all the time! It gets old, I started loosing weight, my hair thinned out, I got sick all the time and always had to cancel plans or call in sick because it would get so bad. I finally went back to the doctor and said you gotta do something I cant go on like this anymore and so he put me on this medicine and its worked miracles."


"I just got my Paraguard removed after 5.5 months. I was having cramps that made me yelp aloud and miss work, my periods were very heavy (like overnight pad plus a heavy tampon every two hours), and I had regular nausea. I really wanted to have a hormone free option but those side effects were too, too much. I'm pretty sensitive to hormones but it comes very recommended by many women. I'm 33 and have never had kids."


"To anyone looking to get on Suboxone to overcome opiate addiction -  DO IT!!  I've been on Suboxone for 15 months now & have gone from 20mg to 2 mgs literally painlessly. The first time I took it I knew within an hr I had found what I needed to get that damn monkey off my back. A slow yet STEADY taper is important.  There's no reason a person can't easily drop 2mgs a mo. down to about 4mg. If it's making you sleepy, time to taper! It gets a bit slower once you get lower but still not hard at all. Once you get to about 3mg you almost have an awakening!  You get more energy,  and start to LOVE music and conversation again.  I would say that those are the biggest side effects - sleepiness (taper!), and slight emotional dullness."


"I've been on this pill for about a year now. Its horrible I have gained about 40 lbs almost 5 lbs a month. I'm even eating less than I did before taking this. "


"I have been on LoSeasonique for 2 months now. I'm experiencing hair loss, increased appetite, and severe migraines! My face is breaking out and extremely dry, and I've been having bleeding on and off for up to 7 days consecutively. This birth control is absolutely not worth taking in my opinion!"


"I am 16 and I started using Vyvanse a little over one month ago. I am a very bright student but I found myself struggling through school. I was diagnosed with ADD around 4th grade. I have always had trouble focusing and staying on task. I tried Concerta, Ritalin, Strattera and Adderal. After taking those I took about a 4 year break from medicine. I began Welbutrin and am now taking that in combination with Vyvanse. My grades improved tremendously. I can now focus and it shows. I went from a D in Algebra/Geo to an A. My life and confidence has improved more than I ever thought possible. I do have decreased appetite but other than that, this medicine is literally making my future brighter everyday."


"I smoke for two reasons: habit or stress relief. While Commit lozenges were fantastic for my habitual smoking, I found that when I was stressed, Commits just didn't cut it. I did however, go from a pack a day to less than a pack a week with commit. So all-in-all, Commit was a success."

"I used this for one  month and I was devastated when the medicine left me shedding much much more hair than I had before. People told me to stick it out because that's what it's supposed to do. I'm terrified to lose more hair since my hair is already so thin, so I stopped using it. No one warned me it could get this bad."


"After 5 weeks of using Chantix I had to stop taking the medication.  I felt extremely unstable and not myself. After 4 days off the medication I am still not smoking (which is why I still gave this medicine a 3 rating). I hope things will go back to normal. I have started to feel less "fuzzy" and uncomfortable.  Good luck to anyone who is trying.  I really hope that the time without cigarettes has allowed me to break my habits so I can lead a healthier life."


"No longer available - spending the weekend in the hospital to change medication. Ethmozine was great."


"I have to say Lithium has change my life for the good. I started taking this med, just 5 days ago and it's like I got my life back. I have paranoid schizophrenia and major depression and borderline personality disorder. The past 8 years were literally like hell on earth for me. I've tried so many different medication and nothing really worked for me. The first time I took my Lithium I felt like more in tuned on what's going on. Now I'm on day 5 and my racing thoughts are pretty much gone. My depression is vanishing. My voice's are at a minimum. My anixiety from going out in public has been getting better and better. It actually boost's my confidence. My energy level has gone way up. I'm generally more happier and more at peace."


"I’ve been on this medication for going on 3 weeks. I started it on the first day of my period and my period lasted about 4 days. I usually have severe cramps but it helped those out. But I just started bleeding again today. I’m also having mood swings pretty badly and am nauseous all the time. It’s made me really bloated and gassy and I’ve never had an experience like this on any birth control pill. Luckily my doctor switched my prescription earlier this week because this pill was going to cost me $166 a month."


"Mine was done over two days the first dose left me feeling bloated, cramping.  The next morning did three quarters of it and and it was all over, I vomited so hard, along with chills, shaking and just a phone call away from 911. Did it's job though."


"It definitely works fast on bacterial infections. I've used this medicine twice. In my most recent event, I was sick for close to three months with a gurgly wet and sometimes dry, wheezy cough with fatigue but no fever. The doc called it bronchitis when I first got sick and we tried a 10 day amoxicillin regiment with no improvement. Over the 12 weeks, the cough mutated into three different variations including a sinus infection. I finally went back to the doc. After starting the 5 day regiment, I noticed an improvement within the first 12 hours. In both cases I was nearly 100% healthy by the 3rd day. The antibiotic is very stressful to your body. I experienced extreme fatigue and muscle soreness during the regiment, but it was worth it."


"I switched to this after having a bad cough with linsinopril. My BP is stable on this medication, however I do have low or borderline low sodium and potassium on this medication. Don't really have any other side effects. Just take in the morning, will make you pee!"


"I have been taking the 1200mg for about 5 days now (every 12 hours as directed). I have had NO side effects. My body is very sensitive to certain types of medications, but this has only helped me. I started out with a bad cough and chest cold. After taking Mucinex for a couple of days I noticed the coughing decreasing. I now have a stuffy nose/sinus pain- but it also has helped with the congestion."


"I had Skyla for almost a year, and I got pregnant. And passed the IUD. The strings came out first. This birth control sucks. My periods were heavy, and irregular, even after the 6 month trial time... My daughter is happy and healthy though!"


"I had my Mirena IUD inserted 4 days ago. Insertion was somewhat painful; I'm 21 with no children, but with ibuprofen and a long nap after wards I wasn't feeling too bad. Don't be scared; I was sitting on the exam table and almost backed out, so glad I didn't. I did get somewhat lightheaded during the insertion and for about 30 minutes afterwards (luckily I had a friend drive me to my appointment). I had intercourse 3 days after insertion and had no problems! My boyfriend said he couldn't feel it. I've had light spotting off and on and some cramping/backache. Overall, so far so good."


"I have had chronic back pain for 5 years. After failed surgeries and injections, (and after years of oxycodone) my doc put me on EMBEDA. I take it exactly how it is prescribed. After a month I have had so many negative side effects. I get severe headaches, stabbing stomach aches and have been almost zombie like. As far as the pain goes it does treat pain fairly well. However sometimes the EMBEDA can not touch the nerve pain. I personally would prefer my previous medication, because the side effects of EMBEDA just make me feel worse."


"this medicine works great, but it makes me feel high and stoned."


"I had poison ivy for three months and had been to the Doctor 3 times and had shots and put on steroids and nothing worked.  They put me on clobetasol and within a week it cleared it up.  I was amazed and I kept the box so that if I get it again I will definitely use this cream again.  Wonderful."


"This medication did amazing things for me after being diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.  I suffered panic attacks, inability to control my emotions, crying to bouts of anger along with other symptoms.  Within 2 weeks there was a huge change. I am now laughing and joking again, I have no mood swings, no more crying, I have no anger issues now, just incredible.  I did suffer side effects for the first 17 days and was very nauseous. First few days are the worst and then it eases off, some minor headaches, a small amount of fever, a little more sweating, some dizziness, but overall it was worth it.  Back to a happy go lucky girl."


"This drug is so expensive (insurance covers little!!!) and simply does not work (after three months!)!
I do not recommend it to any one
"


"So helpful and I have never had a bad side effect."


"Pregabalin for me was miraculous. On the first dose (75mg three times a day) my anxiety was reversed. I really thought this was too good to be true. I have tried Prozac and lorazepam at different times of my life. But as is commonly known, after the fourth or fifth trial of SSRIs, they "peter out" and actually become counter productive, even in some cases causing serotonin syndrome. But about two years ago, I was in a very stressful marriage break-up and was taking benzodiazepines to keep the lid on the anxiety, with little effect. The GP respected my wish to try Lyrica. I was and still am, after two years, astounded by this transformation. I feel like I always felt I should feel. A cessation of anxiety and a sense of well being pervades. "


"This is the best thing since sliced bread (don't mean to really say this but...) Went off of it due to the price being so high.  The replacement prescription did  not work at all.  After two months of problems again, I gave up and called in for the pills.  Lifesaver, worked immediately, now I am happy again.  Can go  out, live normally.  Took eight years off hell with IBS and other gastrointestinal problems until my doctor gave me this as a last resort, thank goodness he did. I  went thru many, many, addictive medicines and such, very happy I  found this."


"Eh, it's better than adderall but vyvanse is still a lot smoother.

Gave me horrible indigestion and heart burn as well as extreme anxiety and chest pain."


"I was given this medication (4 mg dosepk) by a podiatrist for plantar fascitis pain as I have problems with NSAIDS. The second day I had a very red face and chest.  By the end of that day every bone in my face hurt. I had stopped taking it after the morning dose by orders of my pharmacist.  But later that day I got a bright pink hot area on my left forearm and also my upper arm muscle area on the right. Day 3 I developed another pink, hot area on the upper left arm and had severe pain in my shoulders, elbows, wrists, and fingers.I went to my primary care doctor's office for followup.  They agreed to stop the medication. I had only taken the first full day (6 pills) and 1 the next morning so I didn't think the reaction would last this long."


"This is a miracle medicine."


"When I was about 23, I started getting horrific migraines out of nowhere that would incapacitate me for days at a time. My neurologist couldn't find anything wrong and I tried several medications (some would take at least 12 hours to have an effect). The only medication that ever successfully treated my migraines was Maxalt and it pretty much gave me my life back. It would still take at least an hour to work but it was really a life changer. Ultimately, I sought an ENT and after I had sinus surgery (and corrected my deviated septum) in 2011, my migraines never returned. But if they ever did come back, I would be running to Maxalt as my savior again!"


"It has worked wonders for me. Whenever I feel that I was going to get a cold, I take a few drops day and night and that is it."


"Works well for pain"


"This pill was not a fit for me at all. They told me it would take up to 3 months to regulate me and I took it for 9 months and never became regular. I have always been to the day with my cycle but I never got my period back after nursing my second for a year. This pill made me bleed every two weeks and sometimes once a month. It was all over the place. I got migraines and had major mood swings. I said goodbye to it."


"I just had my Mirena inserted a week ago. I am 40 and do not have children. I must say I am having crazy moods. I am hopeful after reading comments that this will pass. Thanks to all who posted."


"Drank the first liter of stuff , tasted like alka seltzler, waited 2 hours and it started, the cleansing begun . Sat on toilet for 10 minutes for first round ,scared to rise up because I'll be coming back , going start second liter , tasted worse , minor bloat and cramp. Done with second liter , slow flushing system , don't know how many More trips to loo, hope all goes well tomorrow."


"For 5 years I suffered from hypothyroidism which turned out to be Hashimotos. Which I take thyroid (natural thyroid medication). Once my thyroid was under control myself and doctor were confused on why I was so tired. I would have seizures when I was completely exhausted. Very scary! They thought I had panic attacks but not so! The seizures were all part narcolepsy which apparently can mask under hypothyroidism. I now take 30mg of Adderall XR a day. It is not enough but just really happy I can get through the day without feeling like someone has given me a bottle of sleeping pills. Adderall is my wonder pill and no side effects."


"The best little white angel pill ever, I have been feeling ill for seven days until today I decided to get help and went to a little clinic and got prescribed zofran, it must be made in heaven because that little pill worked in minutes, I went from 20% to 70% real quick. I work at a job that doesn't allow you to call in, so this pill will be saving me from losing 8 hours on my pay check. Stomach bug sucks and was tired of feeling hungry/sick every ten minutes. Thank you my white angel."


"After using 20 mg in evening...I was getting no relief from muscle spasms, so I spaced dose out to 20mg in afternoon and 20 mg at evening As I got sleepy and dozed off in my chair, I found myself waking, but not breathing, I would have to gasp for a large amount of air and wake up... This went on all evening  This has never happened in my life before,   I repeated this a few days later and same results  OPEN MY EYES AND REALIZE I,M NOT BREATHING AND GASP FOR AS MUCH AIR AS I COULD TAKE.....VERY SCARY."


"I've been using Implanon for almost 5 years now, and I didn't experience any bad side effects. When I had my first one implanted in my left arm I did spot lightly for a little while just a few months, then I didn't have a period at all, or spotting, I love it. When my 3 years was up I had it removed and replaced in that same arm and still no bad side effects. No weight gain or skin changes or pains and I honesly forget that it's even there."


"Started on Manestein 24 Fe to help balance out my cramping & the heavy bleeding during my periods. Which it did help. A week after I started my next new set I started to have the bad feeling in my upper stomach like I have been doing tons of sit ups non stop. So I thought I probably moved funny or something it'll go away. Well a couple days went along & it got worse. It bwcame more intense & sharpe stabbing pains & it extended into my back as well. I couldn't lay on my sides nor even when I drove in a vehicle any bump nor turn it hurt. I knew it was time to go to the hospital. When they checked me out they said I had a blood clot going to my liver which was cause by birth control. Becareful it might not be for you."

"The pill has served its purpose- I have not gotten pregnant while on it. However, I have experienced weight gain, VERY low libido, and more vaginal discharge than normal. On the plus side my periods have been regular and I rarely experience cramps. When I do cramp it is nothing like before I was on birth control."


"I hope I can shed some light to you all. I had unprotected sex on a "high day" during my ovulation cycle and also the next day . Both times he finished fully. I was completely unaware at the time I was ovulating and didn't think anything of it . once I realized I was which was about 40 hours after the fact I went to get plan b one step and too my surprise the pharmacy was closed . I finally was able to get the pill 63 hours later and took it . I had no side effects with the pill and honestly knew I was pregnant and was freaking out. I had cramping the week after I took the pill and one week later my period came right on time so relax ladies the pill does work ! & I was ovulating !"


"Grecia--
I hope you'll find this message, even though it's been many years since you posted. My daughter also started Lupron PED at 2 years old. She's now 4. It has reversed her chest development and her growth is more on track now. But I'm just finding out about all these bad side affects. I haven't heard of anyone else starting the medicine so early like her, so I was wondering if your daughter ever had/has any bad side affects from using it. My daughter has the 11.25mg injection every 3 months.

Our insurance just changed how the bill it so now it's going to be over $4k!!! Help!!!"


"Amazed! Went to the doctor with a extremely sore inflamed throat to the point at times I was hardly getting air without a coughing fit was not getting much sleep. Hardly any voice, very painful to talk extreme red almost blotchy throat, felt like breathing through a straw. Swollen lymph nodes face/neck/&throat and fluid behind my ears, high fever ect. Strep tested negative. Doctor prescribed 10MG, so it was 2 and a half pills that I took all at once only once. Within 4.5 hours my throat was opening up and my voice was getting better by the second, I could breathe properly and talk again. Never has anything I've taken worked that dramatically that fast. No side major effects, still have a bit of a cough but I can deal with that!"


"Zoloft pretty much saved my life. I was suicidal due to my trauma and many life failures. I hated the medicine at first, though. The adjustment period is horrible. I felt constipated, sweaty, sleepy, high and dissociated from the real world. Once you get past that (it takes a couple of months), it is great. I am so much more relaxed now. I used to be very aggressive and now I think about other people's feelings. Being depressed from my trauma, I was very tired. Zoloft made me more tired until I adjusted to it. Now it actually gives me energy."


"I take this medication for obsessive compulsive disorder and anxiety. This medication has been the saving grace of my life!  The only side effects I have experienced are insomnia when I first started it or up a dose, but it goes away within a few days. And dry mouth. But I feel so much better freed of my obsessional thoughts I don't care!  I take 150 mg a day and have been on it 5 years. No other medicine has ever been so effective for this long, and believe me I have taken everything you can name!"


"I have had Mirena for a year now and I love it. The only problem was the INCREDIBLE pain involved in insertion. It only lasted for a few hours and cramping for a couple of days. I have not had a period in 8 months and it is very easy to check that it is in place. When this one getts removed, I will definately get another one. My husband can sometimes feel it, but it doesn't bother him. This is the best thing ever."
