"Got the nexplanon in March of 2015 after I had my son (my kids are 369 days apart so I wanted something good) but this has been awful! i have worn a pad for the past year straight. It goes from gross discharge to heavy heavy bleeding and blood clots. I have awful headaches, acne, weight gain, mood swings that are INSANE, I'm rarely happy, always in a bad mood- so angry, NO sex drive- like don't touch or kiss me. My relationship is horrible, I feel so bad for my fiance. But even worse for my kids, I flip over ridiculous stuff and yell when I shouldn't. For some reason I thought to read the reviews and all these bad experiences are exactly what's been happening. DON'T do it. I can't wait to get this thing cut out!!!"


"I have been using it for 2 months now and it has helped me so much. I have been able to lose weight. Which over the past 4 yrs I have had trainers and everything else anyone tries to lose weight, with very heart breaking results. This has helped with my moods as well. It hasn't been that long, but I wish this could have been figured out years ago. I've made more progress in 2 months than I have in the past 4 years."


"Given that I've had issues with addiction, my previous psychiatrist would not prescribe me any benzos and instead prescribed me Vistaril, which I found pretty useless. For someone with acute panic and anxiety issues, benzos really should be the first and last word on the topic. Ativan is great. Because of my addiction history, I am very careful with it and never take it more than prescribed. It is enough to make me feel "evened out" during the day without making me loopy, euphoric or sleepy. And at night, it puts me out without giving me a "hangover" the following day like Valium does."


"I started Nexplanon July 2014. I'm not myself at all, my mood has changed, and my body has changed physically. I have gained a total of 50 lbs while on Nexplanon. This birth control takes over your entire body and mind, I can eat an entire dinner (Red Lobster Ultimate Feast), and want more food after. I never feel satisfied after eating, and I constantly crave food items I never did before. In addition, my mood is different I feel depression, extreme anxiety, and have an attitude. While on Nexplanon I have had my period 3 times and each time was actually great! Crazy to admit but I miss having my period because I felt normal knowing my emotions were rational and placed on menstrual cycle. Now, without my period I have begun to feel crazy."


"I have had Implanon since May 2011. I LOVE it. I had very very light bleeding off and on for a few months afterward but none now, the site where it's at will throb every once in a while, but not bad just annoying. I have actually lost weight, I am a bit more emotional, but I've always cried about everything, I haven't had an increase in headaches or anything, and my sex drive is as good as it's always been. I've never used birth control before Implanon, but I'm glad I made this choice. Insertion was easy. I didn't feel a thing. She asked if I was numb and I said I don't know she made a small incision and asked if I felt it and I didn't. She wrapped a bandage around the site afterward to keep pressure on it, so my bruising was minimal."


"This is the only medicine that helped take care of the symptoms I had from Fibromyalgia, with no side effects"


"I am 25 and have never been on any kind of birth control prior to this year. After experiencing debilitating period cramps and having horrible acne breakouts on my forehead and cheeks, I decided to see my doctor about going on the pill. I was prescribed Alesse as I was told by my GP that it has been known to help with hormonal acne and help with reducing the severity of period cramps. I have used 1 pack so far and had my first period while using the pill about a week ago -- I experienced no painful cramping and my acne is slowly starting to subside. I have had no side-effects using this pill. I am hoping the positive changes continue!"


Acetaminophen / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"It really helped me out. I used to be on the regular Fioricet and then my migraines got worse and the dr changed me to the Fioricet with codiene. I like this one much better, however it gives me a strange feeling after about 30 min. It's not a bad feeling but its waaawaaa is the best decription. It helps control my migraines though. I don't have many side effects except constipation."


"Replaced Flomax with alfuzosin because of ejaculatory dysfunction.  Alfuzosin did improve urinary flow somewhat, but ejaculatory function did not improve.  I am considering replacing with natural supplements such as pygeum, B-sitosterol, and stinging nettle bark.   We'll see if that works."


"6 months of problems with Cymbalta/Duloxetine & so sick and tired that I've thrown them in the bin and with no help and advice from my GP. even though I know that 'cold turkey' from snri's could damage my health. From the outset of taking this drug I had chronic diarrhoea. This lasted 4+ months and have now been diagnosed with microscopic colitis despite no previous gastric problems in my life. I've gained the best part of a stone in weight, I was drowsy and sleeping during the daytime. The drug did not vastly reduce my anxiety or depressed moods and did not help with any pain that is caused by my osteoarthritis of spine & knees. Withdrawal symptoms seem to be minimal,10 days of cessation, so fat experienced a little tearful and irritable."


"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 had my first Stelara injection 2 months ago (and a booster 30 days ago). The difference is amazing, I have no more flakes, the redness is during to pink. I can wear shorts in public and not be embarrassed. NO side effects at all! This is a fantastic drug."


"Smoked daily for 15 years around a packet. I am now on my second week of quitting. It is terrible in the morning without the coffee and the cigarette.
I am using around 7 pieces of the gum daily, using the chew and park method.
It helps me really good, not thinking about smoking that much more on to chewing now.
It certainly helps to manage the cravings and the anger."


"I've been on Saxenda for approximately 2 months and haven't lost any weight.  I fluctuate daily and I'm actually heavier than I was when I started.  It caused loose stools after every meal and massive headaches."


"I had my first Skyla placed 9/19/2016. Insertion of skyla was probably a 6/10 being that I was 2wks away from my new period. The "sounding" or probing as I call it hurt worst than the actual insertion. It was basically just an awkward experience over. I spotted and cramped for 3 days then everything was normal UNTIL before my first skyla period on 10/02/16. I had almost unbearable cramps that I had to remind myself to breathe through (coming from somebody with an extremely high pain tolerance, this was a nightmare.) My period passed rather quickly, very light for 2 days and last day being "heavy" to where I needed a tampon. Everything is pretty uneventful now."


"I've taken Cymbalta for almost a year for depression and anxiety. I'm also taking Buspar. My anxiety and depression are noticeably improved. I have tried many of the SSRI's without any help, but this SNRI is great. I take 40mg/day. I've been as high as 60mg/day but found no help at the higher dosage. The only side effect might be a bit of drowsiness. I tried to reduce my dosage quickly and found this is not a drug one wants to 'cold-turkey' to get off the drug. The benefits far exceed any bad side effects."


"Was having bad bouts of angina daily. Could not sweep with a broom the entire floor and stood on a nightly basis to try and get to sleep cause. Since ranexa its like I can sleep I can clean a little more. Its just what I need if I can get past all the side effects."


"I started on Jolessa after surgery for endometriosis and have absolutely no complaints. My doctor has me taking two packs continuously without taking the  placebos and it has done wonders in the area of pain. I've maintained the same weight, my breasts grew a cup size and I've had no spotting. I completely recommend this to anyone!"


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I have been on Stribild since April 2013 and started with a 57,500 viral load and 328 cd4.  Within a month my viral load was down to 25!  As of October 2013 the virus is undetectable and my cd4 is up to 585.  The only side effect is occasional loose stool but that's it--nothing else!  I take the pill every morning with breakfast.  It works great!"


"I'm 27 yrs old and have been through 2 back surgeries for a couple of herniated discs in my lower back. Over time, as my back pain worsened, I started developing migraines, which started at maybe one a month and soon developed into one a week, lasting 2-3 days at a time. I was forced to take a leave of absence from my job due to my worsening back pain coupled with the nuclear bombs (migraines) erupting inside my head on an almost daily basis. Needless to say, my mood and overall disposition deteriorated rapidly and I had little to no hope that I'd ever return to a normal way of living. That is until my neurologist prescribed me Elavil. Two words: GOD, SEND. Migraines - GONE. Back to work - FULL TIME. Life = AMAZING."


"I was on reclipsen for less than 2 weeks and it caused blood clots. I had DVT and Pulmonary Embolisms. I'm one of the lucky ones that lived through those diagnoses. I had taken other BC on the past and always had terrible side effects but never had an issue with clots. I also have no other contributing factors besides being overweight. I was 26 and never smoked in my life. No genetic issues either. I advise everyone to be careful when considering any birth control option. Know the signs of blood clots. It could save your life. "


"Yes. This is ouch again. I took the first one around midday and it took about five hours to kick in but when it did I have to say I'll take back that rating of 1 and give a 9 because its working so well. I forgot I even have my period. Only thing is it has kind of burned my stomach and made the pain doubly worse before stopping it completely."


"This drug would have gotten a lower score from me if it had not done the job so well of dilating the eye and thus stopping the severe pain I was experiencing from spasms of the iris.  However, I almost gave it a 1 because of the severe side effects I experienced: anxiety, panic, feelings of dread, severe disorientation, uncoordination, confusion, tremors.  I experienced these symptoms after only my third scheduled dose and have been taken off the drug by by opthamologist."


"This medication has helped me in more ways than one. My doctor had me on Vicodin and it seemed to not ease the pain I am in and didn't do anything for my headaches. "


"This medicine works perfectly for my otherwise 2-3 sleepless night per week!

My psychiatrist prescribes me 22.5mg, right before bed, a bit more that the recommended dose of 7.5-15mg. (I'm a big guy.) She warned me not to take it more than 3 times per week, or else dependence and tolerance would almost certainly develop. Rarely (about every three weeks) I need 30mg; my doctor knows about and approves of this.

I find it especially useful after a long, late day at work. I usually get off of work between 11pm and 1am. On occasion, I have to wake up early, after a late night. Without Doral, it would take 2 or 3 hours to relax, and although I would prefer the natural route, I don't always have that luxury.

It gives me a deep 7-8 hour sleep."


"I had the mirena inserted for the second time via keyhole surgery.

First time I had inserted at my local GP -

But had it removed after almost 8 months after issues.

I've just had it removed because after 6 months it went downhill, I was irritable & emotional, having acne breakouts in my hair, on my face, chest & back, gained weight that I could not lose, migraines, constantly tired, having thrush like symptoms, heavy bleeding for 7 days at a time 1-2 times a month. So I finally got answers - I'm one of few with high sensitivity to it & reacted to it along with having a reaction to the cords (the thrush like symptoms).

Just wish I had of been told that 1st time round! Instead I got told having it inserted differently would be more effective!"


"10/10! i took this an hour after we had fucked. i wondered why it felt so good. so i made his dumbass go out and buy the shit since it was his fault. he had no choice. but it works but there was blood everywhere."


"My physician ordered this medicine after a severe flu and cold that lasted over a month. I found immediate relief, even helped the laryngitis. I see great potential for my patients in hospice. I am amazed at how effective it worked and with minimal negative side effects. I am amazed I have never heard of it before. As a clinician I see great potential for my patients."


"The first 2 months were wonderful, my periods were lighter and I loved not having to remember to take a pill everyday. The 3rd month hit and everything went downhill. They say the adjustment period is usually 3 months and after that you shouldn't get any symptoms. A week and a half before my 3rd cycle was to begin I woke up feeling nauseous and had vertigo. At first I didn't think anything of it because my body is quite sensitive as it is, but then it happened the next morning and the next and now I'm into my fourth month, I've missed 2 weeks of work, I can no longer consume solid food and my bowel movements are extremely abnormal. I finally secured an appointment and will be removing it in 2 days. If you're sensitive to hormones, beware!"


"Ive been suffering with migraines since i was 12 and they have just gotten worse over the years i have usually 3 to 4 migraines a month i like most of you have taken just about all the triptans they make (zomig,maxalt,frova,immitrex etc) and numerous preventatives i ended up in the hospital for several days because of how bad the side effects were taken a toll on my body i had to quit taken them so i just suffered with my migraines and went to the er when I couldn't handle the pain anymore which is not fun at all cause 50 % of the time you get treated like a drug seeker well i was on my second pregnancy about 4 months along and i was just suffering daily from severe migraines my ob prescribes me Stadol NS this is my miracle drug people"


"I have been on Belviq for 21 days and have lost 20lbs. I was fortunate not to experience any side effects. My constant urge to eat was subsided almost immediately. I find that I have to make myself eat most days. I have lost 14 inches total so far and can't wait to see how much more I lose. This medicine has been a blessing for me. Go to the DR this week for my first checkup and am actually looking forward to getting on the scale!"


"I am a 49 year old woman with acne, rosacea, and sensitive skin and I have finally found a solution in Aczone.  My face is nearly clear.  I won't say it's perfect, because I do have an occasional stray bump here and there, but my whole face simply calmed down.  I've reduced the number of medications I use to three - aczone, oracea and kuric cream.  I am not photosensitive to this like I have been to other topical treatments. It is a little drying but nothing like some other medicines I've tried. I found an improvement almost immediately. I am thankful that it has been placed on the market. It's worth every penny to me."


"I couldn't be on this pill for more than three days. I started taking it because I liked the thought of only having a period once every three months. Almost immediately I got extremely exhausted, nauseous, fluctuating body temperatures, overwhelming sadness, a heavy feeling in my chest, and on the third day I had a panic attack at work so I decided to stop taking it. I felt 100x better when I woke up this morning after not taking it last night. I know you're supposed to give it time to work but I have never reacted that horribly to birth control before."


"I got on this birth control a month and a half after I had my first baby. Everything was fine and it worked well to help me not get pregnant until the depression started. The doctors thought I had PPD it was so bad I couldn't go 20 mins without having a panic attack. The doctors put me on depression meds also and that completely made me feel like I was on auto pilot. After reading everyone's comments inhere I'm convinced that my high anxiety and depression is caused from this. I will be stopping immediately. Take my advice, use condoms and don't let a birth control take your mental health."


"I'm a 40 year old male just recently diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. I had an MRI done and the doctor found an abscess on my bladder due to Crohn's. He put me on metronidazole (Flagyl) and ciprofloxacin (Cipro) for 30 days. The side effects for me are mild but weird. The Cipro gives me very vivid and intense dreams when I sleep. The metronidazole has many more effects: metallic taste in my mouth, altered sense of smell and taste, diarrhea/soft stool, lower energy levels and no sex drive. However, the side effects of the antibiotics are much milder than the effects of the abscess. It's not a fun combination but it's working well for me!"


"I went to ER with a cluster headache in 15 January 2012, The doctor looked at my eyes and recommended that I do a HIV test. Needless to say few days later the results came back positive with CD4 count of 4. Apart from the severe headache attacks I have never had any problems. I started Atripla beginning of February with no side effects apart from the dreams. I have never had the headache attack since. I am having my review tests later in May. I am praying for the best."


"The only thing that works. Wish it was available when I was a younger when I suffered so much. This medicine is the best for migraines. Key is getting it before it progresses."


"I am an asthmatic and have just had flu which has lead to mild pleurisy and chest pain/shortness of breath. I'm taking a course of clarithromysin for 7 days (500mg x2 daily) with 30mg prednisolone for the first 5 days. Feeling sick, vile taste in mouth, headache, dizzy, fatigue, lack of sleep, randomly crying for no reason (may be the steroids). I feel quite beat up by the drugs and was feeling wiped out already. However I can now breathe and cough without feeling like I'm being stabbed so going to try to last the full course as I don't have an option of another drug as I'm allergic to penicillin. I feel spaced out and going to a supermarket and looking at all the food nearly made me throw up as I feel so sick. Trying a probiotic drink..."


"I'm a poster child for this drug. I had severe insomnia in my early 30s (i.e., NO sleep for three nights running without a sleeping aid), and various Rxs were of little help. I started out on 150 mg. and in the early part of the many years I've been taking it I whittled it down to 12.5 mg, a quarter of a 50 mg pill. A ridiculously small amount, but I've tested it and know it's not a placebo. It works perfectly for me%u2014I'm drowsy within 10 minutes of taking, sleep through the night, and I'm never fuzzy in the morning. Highly recommend."


"I didn't get heartburn all day but I did feel weak and light headed all morning."


"I'm writing about the overall insertion process as I just had my sklya inserted. I did not get it inserted during my period as I was due to get it while I would be away at school, so I got it a couple days before my period would begin. The overall process was not terrible. I took 2 Advils 2 hours before and then Motrin just before insertion. The doctor also numbed me before doing anything. The overall process was uncomfortable but bearable. It feels like the worst cramps of your life for 20 seconds then it's done. I felt nothing after it was put in and I've been doing fine ever since. I can't really say if I've had spotting or not since I got my period a day after insertion. For those scared, it's not as bad as people make it out to be."


"Used two two-week rounds of Cleocin for an abcess. While I had diarrhea the entire time, there is surely not a better drug to bring relief to a staph infection."


"I have tried several different kinds of birth control pills. My main concern is heavy, abnormal periods but it is also my preferred method of birth control. Yasmin made me borderline nuts so I expressed that concern with my PCP when trying Aviane. Aviane did not make me as emotional but I felt really unhealthy taking it. I did notice an increased appetite but no significant weight gain. However my ankles got super swollen. The worst part about this pill is the insane acne that I got. I am 30 and have never had any serious skin problems. My skin is so awful that I had to discontinue this pill as of yesterday. I am in sales and my chin is so broken out in huge pimples that it is making it painful for me to talk."


"This medicine raised my blood glucose from 170 to over 600.  Also, when my A1c was taken they just put a 13  on it.  After stopping it the blood glucose went down to 390, and I've been trying to lower it since.  The only other medicine that caused this reaction was Avandimet.  The common ingredient was metformin. "


"UK user, been on this for over 5 years, i was getting tension migraines nearly every day, like one of the reviews below, i noticed when i didn't get one! One of my main 'problems' has been very vivid dreams, some have been like a movie, great when you realise it is the drug, I have now also experienced mild haluasinations which I am aware it is the drug and I am monitoring it, there is a cleaner version of this drug called sumatriptalin, very similar in medical effect, but a lot fewer side effects, generally though thr pills work well with the other medication I am on to stop the migraines."


"Okay so I'm only on Day 2 but I had a MILD yeast infection & decided to get this 3 day medication , DAY 1 , there was a little tingling for about an hour & it went away ,I woke up & it seemed as if the YI was gone , PERFECT ! right ? wrong here I am on Day 2 & the itching is unbearable "


"I asked my Doctor about Belsomra  and he gave me some 20 mg samples.  It works great.  I had no side effects although I seem to build up a resistance to it every several  weeks and have to go off it for about a week.   Only bad side effect I have had is the price.   Even with insurance, it is a sticker shock."


"I got the shot Jan 2014. I bled every day for the first three shots - 9 months. I wasn't allowed to get off of it because my mom was in charge. After the third shot I haven't had a period or spotting since. I have gained a lot of weight, around 50 pounds to this day. I really believe it's because of the shot because my eating habits haven't changed and I work out more now than I did before. The shot doesn't hurt but it feels uncomfortable for about a day or two. I was considering switching to Nexplanon (the implant in your arm) but after reading those reviews I think I've decided to stay with the shot. I haven't gotten pregnant and I haven't had my period since the third shot. If I don't get the weight off soon I will switch."


"I have been on Fetzima for around 18 months, and this is truly a miracle drug.  I have MDD, PTSD, GAD, and BED. I come from a family based in the medical field, and as such I have tried every drug on the books.  Almost two years ago, my anxiety got so bad that every night I felt like I was going to suffocate and die in my sleep. I was having multiple daily panic attacks. I was started on 40 mg of Fetzima, and before the week was out my panic attacks had all but ceased. I'm now on 80 mg. I can't remember the last time I had one as bad as the panic attacks I was having before I started Fetzima. I gave it a 9/10 because I'm still sweating as a side effect. I also take Vyvanse, and Propranolol and Abilify as needed."


"I would like to say that Adderrall really works, it helps me concentrate, and get things done, My mind doesnt race, and I am able to focus. I do experience the dry mouth, and the loss of appetite.  And I was experiencing a lot of headaches when I first started taking it, and it would be migraines starting from my temple to the pressure in my eye.  I did a self experiment before I completely stopped taking the medicine and began to drink TWO GLASSES of water. 1 before my pill then wait 10 mins and drink another glass of water with the pill.. And through out the day I kept drinking water... And I have no more headaches... Drink water!!!! ALL DAY!"


"Been on Exforge 5/165 for 3 months. Too tired all the time and gained 10 lbs. Will try 20 mg Prinivil and report back. Exforge did keep blood pressure down but I had bad side effect."


"I originally started taking Metoprolol 25 mg once a day due to SVTs. they helped calm them down a bit. I also have PVCs and PACs especially when my blood pressure is superhigh.  I am now back on this medication and started at 25 mg, within a few months it was up to 50 mg, I recently went up 100mg from my GP,  but now my cardiologist up me to 200 mg.  I have been only taking 100-150 mg. I break to be 100 mg pill in half and take 50 mg every six hours. My blood pressure went from 197/130 to approx 147/97.   I have recently changed my diet dramatically and Inc. swimming and walking as an exercise. 49F, 208lbs. Sedentary life for 5 years. No side effects at all. Take with food though as directed. Causes nausea w/o food for me."


"I have used Enbrel for Psoriatic Arthritis ever since it was approved.  I just started with Simponi a few months ago.  Some of the psoriasis has returned on my scalp.  I like the idea of only one injection a month but I have a feeling I'll be going back to Enbrel."


"I and many other women had taken this birth control and without any warning ended up in the ER nearly dead with complications caused by taking the birth control. I had developed blood clots that passed through my heart and stuck in my lungs. There were others that had blood clots in their brain. Then when googling I found horrific stories where many many others that have taken the birth control also have their life destroyed by future lifelong complications from taking this drug. Many other women even very young adults died from the clots before they even knew what happened. It is not worth taking the risk. "


"I'm on 3.75mg and it hasn't really helped with my insomnia. I take it at 8.30pm (along with 15mg mirtazapine and 2mg diazapam) and I still don't get to sleep until 1am, then I wake up anything up to 8 or 9 times in the night for half an hour. Only side effect is I've found I salivate more."


"I found this medicine to be extremely helpful.  Initially it made me very tired.  I have been on it over two years.  One side effect for me has been a gain of about 30 pounds since taking it.  I have tried to quit and or skip taking it before.  Don't do it!  I always have nightmares or at least bad dreams if I miss a dose.  Stopping cold-turkey caused horrible light-headedness and dizziness.  Talk to your doctor BEFORE you stop taking it.  It is definitely worth these side effects."


"I have been on this for the past 9 months, my doctor visit (9 months ago) A1C was at 9.0. I asked if he thought I could try this medicine and he agreed. My most recent visit my A1C had dropped to 6.5. I was afraid that it was still going to be high since I had not changed they way I ate or started exercising. I have always and still do take Janumet twice daily. Also I have experienced absolutely none of the side effects, except frequent urination early on but that has calmed down."


"I started taking Singulair 2 weeks ago, because of sinus headaches, red itchy eyes and allergies.  Also use Zyrtec and Patanol.  It has worked great, until I figured out that the stomachache I have had for the last 10 days is because of it.  I have stopped the medicine."


"This antibiotic is brutal, but does its job.  I began it 3 days ago due to pericoronitis (infection at rear of wisdom tooth).  By the 3rd dose, the infection was basically gone.  It worked so quickly that I questioned if my body had killed off the bacteria, or if the antibiotic was really that powerful.

It's really that powerful.

Sadly, the side-effects are quite unpleasant, but an indicator that they are really working.  Fatigue, mild nausea, and lower abdominal issues seem to be quite common, and all three have hit me.  It's unpleasant to the point that I've more than once thought of stopping the treatment, but I know that's a bad idea.

It works really well...I just hope that I don't have to take it again for a very long time."


"I have been taking loestrin 24 for a while.  I am coming off of it because it causes me to have very bad headaches and spotting a lot.  Sometimes with this pill I have my period every two weeks.  It does help me with my cramps a lot.  It's like I got rid of one pain and got another.  The headaches from this medicine is unbearable at times."


"I have now had my Skyla for over a month. I was on the pill before and had to switch due to migraines caused by too much estrogen. Insertion wasn't bad-if anything just a little cramp added to your normal pelvic exam. After insertion I was very dizzy and super nauseous. I laid there for about 25 mins feeling sick and having terrible cramping. Soon after I was fine! Mild cramping for the first few days and then for the next week (lessened over time). I bled for about three weeks after insertion- different everyday. Sometimes more than others. Just had my first cycle while on Skyla. Very light, but lasting about 7 days. had a few breakouts but may be stress related too. Feeling great so far!"


"I have a rare bone disease called osteonecrosis which basically means bone death. I've had to have both hips replaced and both shoulders and soon I will have my knees replaced as well. I'm only 40 years old and my condition has made daily living very difficult. Percocet 10/325 has been a blessing, what a huge difference it has made for me. I can do things I haven't been able to do in years and has helped with my depression from chronic pain and the things I'm able to do now I feel useful again."


"G"


"I am using this for severe pain from a botched lung surgery for pneumonia. Have been using Percocet & Oxycontin but all they did was irritate the pain. I startied using this when I figured out that my surgery had caused nerve damage. I was in so much pain so I took double the dosage & felt like I was on an acid trip...it wasn't fun...but now I use it as prescribed and it helps. My pain is way down. Makes me drowsy but it is worth it."


"It changed my life. 48 years of just dealing with anxiety and depression not wanting to be on medication. With the onset of pre-menopause the depression was unbearable and more feelings of hopelessness. My doctor prescribed 75 mg and I feel alive again. The torment of paranoia, anxiety and the depression are gone."


"I've had Irritable Bowel Syndrome and chronic constipation my entire life.  Now at 23, after exhausting all over the counter and homeopathic remedies to no avail, I've decided to try a prescription.  Overall, it works great and I don't plan to get off of it.  What I have now is more like diarrhea than anything, but I'll take that over going up to 20 days without a bowel motion any day! I do get nausea about 30 minutes after I take it, and it gives me bad gas sometimes, but none of that is worth getting off of it.  If you are seriously about to give up on life because of constipation, this medicine is for you!  I recommend.  I do also take Metamucil about every other morning, which helps the diarrhea.

"I was in a car accident and suffered a 4th rib fracture, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th ribs were also injured and suffered pectus excavatum. The Lidoderm pain patches helped to decrease my pain level from a 10 to a 3. I can not ride in a car with out wearing these patches. I wear one in my subclavian area and two in my 6th and 7th thoracic area  (total of 3). These patches really manage the pain."


"I started on Contrave this past Friday 3/17, I felt sleepy all day and slight headache, I had read someone else did same, but thereafter, she was ok while continuing Contrave, so I went on to day 2, but I was like a zombie, just wanted to sit and stare, dizzy, I haven't felt that bad in awhile. I decided I can't handle this ,so I stopped. I will say,  I wasn't the least bit hungry. I called my pharmacy today for refund, they referred me to Contrave Hotline, I paid 92.00 that could went on other bills, to be told I can't get refund. I am very disappointed in this program and wish I never tried it."


"Also I forgot to mention in a previous review that timing is the key to these types of drugs. 1.5 hours is the time it takes to work for me but may vary with different people. Sometimes I get to my night class early and take a Klonopin well in advance so I wont be under the influence when I'm driving to class. Basically you have to experiment at first with the timing to get a feel of works best for you."


"I had rheumatoid arthritis onset literally overnight in wrist, and within short period, all fingers, elbows and shoulders.  I have negative RF, but elevated Sed Rate.  I pushed my Rheumatologist hard to get in front of the disease progression. I was on Methotrexate alone for about 10 wks, increasing dosage from 12.5mg - 17.5mg but it had marginal impact. I pushed for Humira and within 48 hrs after first injection, I noticed improvement.  I'm six weeks into combination therapy and I'd say I'm 60-70% improved.   Large joints are 90% better but fingers remain stubborn.  Yes, the shot hurts for 10 flipping seconds.  I let it get to room temp for about 30-40 minutes..speciality pharmacist said that was fine.  This medicine is awesome."


"I used everything and including everything that end with -done. I had a shift work job for 20 years and I left it then still couldn't sleep after getting a day shift only job. Nothing worked and everything left me "Loopy" for 4 hours after I woke up. Believe it or not, Tylenol PM worked best for me!"


"Have had Implanon for 4 months now after ditching the Depo shot. (Made me gain 30lbs in one month. Not joking and I'm a skinny person and made no health changes) So far have lost 10 of those pounds on Implanon. Have not had a period or spotting.
THE PROCEDURE: was easy. The Lidocane stings like burning nettles, the rest was easy. Only had a tiny bruise and a tiny scar from the needle (which looks like a mole honestly).
Side Effects: Only one I've had is achy breasts. Like you don't even want people near them in case they bump into them. All my friends on Implanon have experienced the same thing.
I LOVE Implanon. Won't change birth control ever again!"


"Second time I am taking this. I am on day 4 of a 5-day prescription. The only side effect I seem to have is an occasional kidney spasm on the right, but who is to say that the medication is causing it? The only thing I would say is that you should always eat something prior to taking your dosage. I forgot once and had a stomach ache for about 30 minutes. I think many people imagine some side effects because they read forums like this and then imagine every little itch is a side effect and they become paranoid. I believe this is a good fast acting medication and I have had no yeast infections from this either, when almost every other antibiotic I have taken did result in yeast infections.

I guess I am lucky."


"I have an infected tooth with a dead nerve that needed a root canal. I got half the root canal done and need to wait for the infection to clear up. I'm taking major antibiotics but it's still taking a while and I'm in a lot of pain. The percocet has helped immensely. I waited too long to take it last night and had to take a trip to the ER for morphine! the morphine was not much different than the percocet. My problem was that I waited. I have been taking one every 6 hours which is says on the bottle but I think I need to do it every 5 hours. Hopefully that's ok to do. I'm also on 800 mg of ibuprofen every 6 hours. I have not experienced any nausea but yes,I guess i am constipated but i have only been eating soup any way."


"I use Flexeril for muscle spasms that I have in my left arm and shoulder. One of the side effects of this medication is that it causes severe drowsiness. Once I take the medication, I must go to bed immediately.  I am able to sleep through the night where before the spasms would wake me throughout the night. When I first began to take the medication, I found that I was very tired when I awoke in the morning. To combat this, I go to bed about two hours earlier. This is appearing to work out well. Now I awake rested and free of tightness, aches, and pains."


"Denny 56, very happy to hear it is helping you and your doing better.From my experience please watch your breathing and night sweats very closely.Get checked out asap if these happen to you.This is how all my problems started.Just trying to help with a heads up on this, and I hope it works out for you. Another 50 something male with RA."


"I have used this for four years, since my dad died, and I recommend it to anyone who is depressed or angry. I went off it once, at a stupid time, and I will never stop taking it again."


"Excellent product. It does not burn the nose. It does not irritate the nose and make it run."


"My urologist prescribed this 3 years ago and gave me samples to try.  It was amazing!  It worked so well it seemed like magic. I am just thrilled with the results.  While I still get up during the night, I don't have the worry of not getting to the bathroom before the urine drips down my leg.  In addition, I don't get up as often, which gives me a much better quality sleep.  During the day, my overactive bladder has calmed to the point where I feel normal!  I'm so grateful to have this medicine. It has changed my life."


"No weight gain, easier periods, less bloating. Everything good while still having the cycle."


"I am a 51yr old female and started taking Brintellix about 3 weeks ago.  Nausea and vomiting since day 1 that has gotten progressively worse as I've increased dosage per my Dr's orders.  I have bruises on my sides and back from the constant itching.  I've just gone thru one of the most stressful times of my life and I feel like this medication not only didn't help but made me feel so much worse. I've been a coffee drinker for 30 yrs and I can't even stomach that in the mornings anymore."


"Cymbalta works great, but withdrawals are ridiculous. "


"I'm 28 yrs. old.  I've been pregnant and delivered without complication.  I have used birth control in the past but not for over 7 years.  I just finished my 1st pack of Loestrin 24 FE, I try to take it after 7pm. I spotted twice and had a very light period for 3 days.  I'm into pack 2, not pregnant (MY GOAL) and I feel fine."


"I have been on it about a month. I've lost all motivation to do anything other than sleep. I'm nervous all the time. I can't feel my left hand. I have nightmares every night. I've lost all desire to eat. My vision is blurry. My psychiatrist is of no use as he only works three hours a week since he's borrowed from another program and I have no way to get in touch with him. this is why I don't trust doctors."


"I have had severe depression since my teens and have been on antidepressants for many years. Fortunately I have had beneficial effects from several over the years.  The most effective treatment to date has been a combination of Wellbutrin and Cymbalta. I took that combination for ten+ years and unfortunately I recently started slipping downward, increased depression and feeling out of control.  I  was prescribed Fetzima (transitioned off Cymbalta) and completed the starter pack with the only benefit being increased energy. My Dr then increased the doseage to 80mg and have been at 80mg for two + weeks.  I have never felt (for lack of a better word) so crazy in my life! I have been so irretiable, angry, depressed and unreasonable and feeling"


"I usually don't write in these forums but after reading a few post, I realized that I needed to share my experiences to help someone else. I'm on my 8th week of Seasonique.
Of course I started taking it because I was attracted to the 4 periods a year. The first side effect I started experiencing was headaches, backaches and stomach cramps. It either went away or I just got used to it.
Secondly, I noticed my face breaking out along the jaw line. This has been a problematic area for me before but never quite this severe. I get once a week facials and there was absolutely no explanation for this.
Lastly, I've had these non-stop hysterical crying episodes. "


"Metformin 1000mg x2 daily. Works okay to lower sugar levels."


"It really helped me and did wonders on my depression that I've dealt with since high school and I am now 26 years old and it also helped with my panic attacks. However the side effects for me are I have put on 35 lbs in less than two years and I am extremely fatigue almost 24/7 and get irritated easily. Actually going back to the doctor next month and my husband told me to suggest something else and as much as it does help of course the weight gain and irritation sucks."


"I get migraines ALL THE TIME and Excedrin has always been my go-to, but usually I've been able to take it and go to sleep right after. Today unfortunately, I had to work. I didn't take anything before going to work (MISTAKE) and by the time it was lunch break, my migraine was at it's peak. I lost my vision almost completely, was in SOOO much pain and I felt so confused/in such a daze. I went to target and got Excedrin PRAYING for a miracle. I took 3 tablets due to severity of my migraine and WOW. One hour later, I FELT SO MUCH BETTER. My migraine deteriorated to a slight headache and I felt like I wasn't going to die. MIRACLE PILL"


"It works really well. I've improved on my listening skills and concentrating on things. I've managed to get much better grades too."


"I got this in Greece cause of my terrible reaction of the mosquitos. It helped me right away."


"My doctor recommended this shot to me to help with cramps due to having endometriosis.

I have received 2 shots and have been on my period for a total of 5 months now!!!!!

The shot helped with pain the first 3 months, and now it doesn't help at all.

I will not be going back for another shot.

It is awful! I've gained weight, I'm moody, and fatigued.

And in case you missed it the first time, I've been bleeding for 5 months!

Just think of the pads, tampons, laundry, ib profen, chocolate, ice cream, occasional apologies to your boyfriend, and acne you'll get to look forward to...

just say no to this joke of a drug!!"


"I began taking Seroquel 100mg 3 nights ago, it has helped alot. I have been suffering for 20+ years and didn't know I was bpd. At first I was diagnosed E.H. (emotionally handicap) when I was 12, then when I was 30 Dr. Said I had Alcohol induced Psychosis. Now Im 38 and I have BPD. The emotional roller coaster in my brain sucks. I go from Suicidal thoughts to smiling and shaking hands and Pleasant  conversation. Mostly Im depressed, I have paranoid thoughts as well.  Seroquel has calm that down alot. I slept great the first night then woke up 4x next night last night about 4x as well. I don't feel any emotion. Everything is slow and I have stop talkinh to myself , with a few words here and there. I hope I get better."


"As far as birth control goes, the Nexplanon implant was really nice and convenient! I had a pretty good sized bruise for about 3 weeks after the implant was put in, and a little bit of soreness, but that's to be expected. From then on, I didn't notice it at all!

I had some pretty bad mood swings for the first few months, and figured I just needed to be patient, but instead, it got much worse and became full blown depression. While that's not good, I am prone to depression, and the implant amplified it, but didn't cause it.

If I could give any advice, it'd just to be keep an eye on how you feel. I'm sure it'll take some adjusting, so it's okay to feel weird for a little while. But if it persists, don't wait forever to get it out. :)"


"Had Sinusitis for ten days, finally went on Augmentin 1g, after a couple of days my symptoms had 80% resolved. I'm on day 4 now and all symptoms have 100% resolved. No side effects. Great antibiotic."


"I've been on Pristiq for about 6 months now, taking 50mg for about 6 weeks then bumping up to 100mg after that. I have noticed a huge change in mood. I don't fixate on little things and let them bother me for the whole day like they used too. I feel much more confident now and I am actually smiling lately. Some side effects I have noticed are the occasional headache (I find if I take it the same time each morning I don't get a headache), drymouth, and if I miss a dose I get absolutely WILD dreams and my anxiety comes creeping back in. Also, I notice it makes me ramble on and on when I talk sometimes which can be a little embarrassing especially in work situations. Overall though, the benefits significantly outweigh the side effects!!"


"I was on Apri and they said the name changed to Mirvala and there was no changes to the medicine. However, it seems to have completely changed now! I get my period about a week before my pills have run out, even if I take them at the same time every day. I get cramps through-out the month and a lot of spotting. When I do have my period it is extremely heavy and painful. It's stopping pregnancy, but that's about all that it's doing for me now."


"This drug should not be prescribed for more than two weeks (and this has been known since the eighties).  Most Doctors in the USA don't have a clue about what benzos do to the lives of the patients they are prescribing to, and especially how difficult it is for patients to withdraw from these drugs.

I was completely dependent on clonazepam after 30 days, and remained on it for about eight years, before I realized I had to get off of clonazepam, if I wanted a chance to become healthy again.  It took me 7 horrifying months to taper off, and I became disabled during that time.  I lost about 85% of my long and short term memory during that time.  I am educated, but I did not research this drug before I took it.  Please don't make that mistake."


"Had a major depressive episode out of nowhere (no stressful life circumstances). When I started on 10 mg I stayed awake 40 hours straight and had panic attacks. Went off it. After horrible Effexor side effects I started on 5 mg of Lexapro again (I was absolutely desperate) and gradually increased. For the first two weeks this drug made my anxiety/depression way worse and I became delusional, but once I took a very small dose of seroquel I became progressively better each day and I have no symptoms of mental illness whatsoever anymore. Completely healed me of depression."


"I've been on vyvanse for about 2 days now and I can't believe the difference from the other two medications I've tried. (Adderall and Focalin) I was diagnosed about a year and a half ago, I was not diagnosed when I was younger, which would've have really explained a lot.  First I tried adderall, it didn't do much but make me a bit irritable, and still not focusing was on 50mg a day 30mg in the morning and a 20mg in the afternoon, and I didn't notice a thing. Next was the generic of Focalin, which dild absolutely NOTHING! With vyvanse I feel like I can concentrate on one thing at a time, and not have the urge to start 10 other things.  My doctor put me on 70 mg in the morning, it's a bit of a slow start, but once it doesn't its a very productive"


"My doctor prescribed this wash to me after a medication I was taking made me break out. I have been using this for about a week and my face is already clear! I love it. I use it at least once a day, and sometimes twice a day. The only negative is that it does make your face feel very dry, but immediately after I use it I apply an oil-free face lotion liberally. I am very pleased with this product!"


"I had been on Lutera for a little less than 3 years. I never experienced drastic mood swings, weight gain or acne. My periods were way lighter and less painful than before I started lutera. Before birth control, I would throw up and be in uncontrollable pain for the first two days. Now I have mild cramps on day one and that's it. When I went to pick up my prescription last week, I was given Aviane instead of Lutera and I am PRAYING that nothing changes."


"I'm 19 and suffer from bad insomnia. I've tried Benadryl, Unisom, even a different prescription sleeping pill, Restoril (temazepam). These all either didn't work or left me extremely groggy in the morning and throughout the day. Anyway, I was scheduled to study abroad and my worst fear the entire trip was not sleeping in a foreign atmosphere. My Dr. prescribed me a few weeks worth of Ambien 10 MG. I can't tell you how great this medication was. It drifted me off to a gentle, deep sleep and I stayed asleep for at least 7 hours. I woke up happy and refreshed In the morning; even energized! I took the high dose and did not experience any side effects or hallucinations. I was able to enjoy my trip."


"This gel was very effective. My face was swollen because of the acne and I had bumps all over my face. Thanks to the gel my face was back to the normal"


"This medicine helped for depression.  The problem is, the first time I went up to 40mg, (within 2 hours), I started sweating profusely and was super nauseous.  After 5 days of this, I am going to switch medicines.  The sad thing is it does help with depression but I can't handle feeling nauseous all the time."


"I started taking this drug because of moderate to severe adult acne (I am 28) and PMS symptoms (severe depression episodes and irritability that happened like clockwork the week before menstruation). I have been on the pill a month and half and I have already seen an improvement. Regarding acne, I broke out a little bit in the placebo week, but besides that I no longer get the severe acne i used to. I expected it to take at least a few months, so I was pleasantly surprised to see an effect. I also had a light period and did not notice mood swings. I had breakthrough bleeding during the first few weeks, at the beginning more severe and diminishing with time. On the second cycle, there is no bleeding anymore."


"I had previously used nuvaring with little side effects, had a child and decided to use the nuvaring again... big mistake.  I had breakthrough bleeding all 3 weeks, head-ach's, anxiety , insane mood swings - felt like crying or got super angry at the drop of a hat, not sure if this is attributed to the nuvaring but I lost about 12 lbs in a month.  It also caused uti's after having sex, something that my body previously got used to and wasn't a problem.

Ultimately it is easy to use but it made me totally psycho, I felt relief within hours of removing the ring.  No one in my family has ever seen me like that, and the mood swings, anxiety, paranoia were so bad that it affected my 4yr old."


"This cream is wonderful. I used the 1 night dose cream and I swear it cleared me right up. I was worried with a 1 dose that it would be too strong and make me hurt worse, but that was not the case. Don't be afraid, give it a try."


"First couple of weeks where quite bad with nausea, yawning, panic attacks but then quite suddenly I was able to leave my house go for walks without anxiety, all was good for about 4-5 months(on 60 mg), then anxiety came back, now I'm on 90mg and it's better yet again.

i got severe backpains, and was given tramadol....not a good idea, i had some intestinal bleeding and severe mood swings, vicodin seems fine, so does codein taken with tylanol"


"Lots of side effects. Fever, flu like symptoms, lethargy in the morning. Sleep was in and out, woke alot then slept....but only about 4 hrs total. Don't know if I'll try again."


"I was given this drug after my tubal ligation surgery. I had never taken it before or since then. It worked very well. I was able to function on it as well. It didn't knock me out or make me hazy like some pain medicines. Aside from some itching,I didn't have any side effects."


"I'm 64 years old with high blood pressure and erectile dysfunction. Have tried everything on the market for the past 2-3 years, unsuccessfully. Doctor gave me 20mg samples of Cialis. Within 30 minutes was like a teenager with my wife. Unbelievable sex. Unbelievable pill."


"I took this medication two years ago and only received three shots before having to quit due to migraines. It thinned my hair, my bones, made me a raging lunatic. I still suffer from migraines. This drug did NOTHING to stop my endo. While on it, I needed to have 3 lapex surgeries and was always on Vicodin or Percocet for pain. If your doctor says to try this medication, I would RUN not walk to the nearest exit and go get a second opinion."


"Have only been taking for three days. Have some headaches, nausea, no big deal. I don't like the feeling after my second dose at night. I have gotten panicky and felt like I was going to have a panic attack, but have not so far. I am mainly using this to quit smoking and I see that it is triggering my anxiety somewhat, but I have already lost the urge to smoke and will quit on my quit date. I would rather deal with side effects for a couple weeks than die of lung cancer and leave my children with no mother. Especially after losing my mother at a young age and my grandfather. I am hoping this will help my depression and anxiety after I am used to it. I can't wait to be smoke-free soon."


"Good for Epilepsy but the feelings you get whilst taking them are so bad, I have a feeling in my back of burning and on the inside also as if my tummy is burning also.
It is so good for fits if only on them a short while, but not so good to be taken too long.  I wish my Docs would understand what they are putting me through with this drug and how I feel, but they do not understand or do not want to !! They just say "so you know better than the Doctors?".

I know these drugs are doing me in and seeing Dr about them so wish me luck !! phew"


"I use Daytrana for Adult ADHD. Unlike most other ADHD medicines (except maybe Vyvanse), it is very smooth, meaning there is no crash at the end of the day, or big jolt in the morning.  I just feel very calm and I can concentrate much better and it's the best ADD medicine I've tried. I take 30mgs and keep it on 12-16 hours. A few things in reference to other raters. Some doctors allow the patch to be on for 24 hours.  That would help with the child that had problems in the evening (something to ask your doctor about). The patch was originally designed for 24 hours (so there is enough medicine in the patch to wear it that long), but during clinical trials, there were skin issues hence the 9 hour limit. "


". I had my first yeast infection in 2016 but I didn't think much of it so I just ignored it. Now I am having another one in August of 2017. So I picked up Monistat 7 day treatment. I took a shower, used one of the wipes in the kit then put the applicator in my vagina and applied the cream into my vaginal area. All was fine until I stood up. This is the worst experience I've ever had. My vagina itches and burns really bad. I've tried bouncing around, putting a cool towel on my vagina,  fanning the area, patting myself to stop the itching, putting my blanket in between my legs and squeezing my legs together really hard to suppress the itching. The treatment is more torturing than the actual yeast infection."


"Haven't been hospitalized since I started taking it. But I did gain a little weight."


"I wish it didn't have to be so expensive. It gave me instant relief. "


"I took chantix 3 year's ago and it was the best thing I feel so much better"


"My doctor prescribed this to "protect my kidneys" and lower my BP (132/100, was never that high before). Within a week I had severe muscle spasms and pain in my legs, headaches, dizziness, and itchy hands. She cut my dose to 5 mg, which stopped most of the spasms, but did not relieve other symptoms. My BP was 100/68. I am now dealing with mild edema in my eyelids, blurred vision."


"I have been taking Amaryl for 3 weeks and it has lowered my blood sugars 70 points.  I do have stomach problems since taking this medication,   I do find that I have to watch my sugars as after about 2 hours my sugar level drops."


"I have been taking this for 6 -7 months. It works good for me but when I miss 1 or 2 days my mood it's really high. I will fight or yell, but when I take it to cool down it works. I was 147lbs when I started it and now I'm 127lbs. I have lost a lot and I'm happy. I eat a lot but when I do eat its just a little. Sometime I even forget to drink or eat anything on this pill but I like it as long as I take it everyday I'm happy."


"I love being on the NuvaRing! I switched from the pill because it was making me sick every other day and it wasn't the best thing to experience. The NuvaRing has been awesome! I was a little worried about it at first with being in me for 3 weeks straight and if my boyfriend would mind it, but he hasn't said a word about it being in. I don't have to worry about being sick everyday or missing a dose because I can put it in for 3 weeks and forget about it! it has been 100% effective also, we use no other forms of birth control and I'm still not pregnant. The only downside is that I've started to notice I'm a little more dry than usual, but I wouldn't think about going off of it because of that. Its been great and I will continue to use it."


"I have psoriasis and have been on Otezla for 7 months now.  For me it has not worked.  If I stop using any steroid creams for more than 5 days it comes back.    I was told by the Otezla support nurse that if it did not work within 16 weeks it typically would not work.  Side effects I had were nausea, headaches and weight loss.  I never get headaches and while on this medication I got them pretty regularly.  The nausea was tough but I found taking this with food helped.  I really hoped that it would have worked as it seems to be a much safer option that the inject-able options."


"It works fine. I eat first then take the pill with 15-30 mins gone. Doesnt make you sleepy. "


"Usually cold sore lasts well over a week for me, getting quite large and unsightly. But famciclovir tablets absolutely crush them. Last no longer than 3-4 days depending on how quick I identify the cold sore coming and take the tablets. Healing and turn around time is awesome, the best product I have ever used for cold sores! Always keep them on hand now."


"Pros:  Worked great as a birth control & light periods

Cons:  Completely killed my libido, I've always had migraines but I got them much more frequently with this pill, I gained weight, & made me moody.

I've been on this pill for 9 months.  I was hoping things would get better but they are not so I am discontinuing use."


"I am 48 and pre-menopausal. I went to my doctor with heavy menstrual cycles with heavy clotting. My doctor put me on Necon for a few months, but my bleeding didn't stop. Doctor wanted to opt for ablation. After a failed ablation, my doctor checked my hormone levels and my estrogen was very low-even after taking birth control for months. He placed me on Memvey 0.5/0.1 pill. I noticed a slight increase in blood pressure and my bleeding was non-stop. He upped my Memvey to 1/.05 and my blood pressure increased steadily (even though I take Lisinopril HCTZ 20-25). My family doctor had to give me an additional dose of Clonidine just to get my blood pressure close to normal. I went off Memvey and, within a day, my blood pressure is back to normal."


"Left nephrectomy in July 2015 for large renal cell tumor. First  bad CT was in Nov 2016 which showed multiple lesions throughout abdomen and pelvis. Biopsy in Dec2016 confirmed recurrence of rcc.
Started 800mg votrient in Jan 2017. Horrible side effects with fatigue and intense abdominal pain. Stopped after 3 weeks and took a week break before starting 600mg. Side effects eased slightly but blood work showed poor liver function after 3 weeks so took a week break and started 400mg. CT in March 2017 showed several lesions 10% smaller. Side effects have calmed down with the worst being daily diarrhea and inconsistent appetite. ALL hair turned white. Good Luck to everyone."


"This medicine is wonderful, I have been using it for a week along with Zanaflex 1x daily 4mg and the Neurontin 2x daily 300mg.  I suffer from nerve damage in my right shoulder, as well as shoulder instability my arm dislocates frequently at least 2 x a month, trust me putting your arm back in the socket will race you to a 10 on the pain scale instantly. I have blacked out from the pain a couple of times.  The point is when my arm sub-locates the Neurontin can stop the traumatizing pain very quickly, with only a half of a Norco to assist the pain.  It has also allowed me to be more productive at work. It is easier to deal with during day time than Norco constantly.  If you have nerve pain from a traumatic injury/accident I highly recommend."


"I've been on Synthroid for two years now and have found that once you are on the right dosage it's brilliant. Just be patient at the beginning."


"Hey Everyone! I am going to try and make my story short. I am 26 years old and did not know what anxiety or an anxiety attack was until I turned 25.  I was driving to lunch one day and for no reason at all it hit me. I felt as if I wasn't in control of my own body. I felt like I was going to pass out at the wheel, my heart began to race and my arms and legs went numb. I drove myself straight to the ER. The doc told me it was an anxiety attack. After that first attack I could not leave my house for two weeks in fear that I would pass out or lose control. I was then put on Lexapro, the first two weeks I felt the side affects..AFTER THAT A true BLESSING!! NO ANXIETY OR ATTACKS IN 2 WEEKS! I FEEL LIKE ME AGAIN!"


"I was hesitate at first. I smoked for over 20 years. Within 10 days I didn't want to smoke.  And haven't since August 5th 2013. I did gain weight, I would be lying if I didn't tell you.  But not as much if I went cold turkey.  I know that because my girlfriend went cold turkey and I took Champix.  I gained 27 pounds....my girlfriend gained 76 pounds. To date I am working on the weight gained and proud to say a non smoker.  I am a non smoker thanks to Champix. Thank you! My children are proud of me and are happy that I quit. Without you I could not have done it. Truth be told. Thank you.  Champix saved my life. Thank you!"

"First off, Suprep cleans you out very effectively, which is appealing for GI docs as it makes their job possible. The downside (for the patient) is the taste, which is an absolutely appaling, cherry cough syrup, saltwater horror show. I'm honestly amazed I didn't vomit. Tips: keeping the stuff as cold as possible and sucking on a lemon between gulps is a help but leaving out the cherry flavoring would have been a big plus people."


"was prescribed this and took night before flying back east.  2nd pill during flight. I  thought my face was really dry from airplane because it was really itchy.  I had no lotion so ignored it.   The 3rd pill that night and itchy face felt like wind burn, despite tons of lotion.  The 4th pill in morning but face felt swollen and a little numb, especially around lips.  So I  called the doctor...told to stop taking it and that symptoms should go away next day.  It's day 3 after stopping and face is better but still numbness feeling by lips.  The half-life for  the medicine to leave body should be over by now (well in a few hours).  I assume it will eventually go away but will never take this again."


"I received this medicine with Stadol for a migraine. Within 20 min I vomited. I hadn't vomited with the migraine, just had nausea. I got out of bed once after a few hours and threw up again, then again after trying only water. So...this didn't work at all for me, but I'd never had either of the two drugs before."


"I have had 6 surgeries on my right knee and now my left knee started bothering me I went to the doctor because I couldn't hardly bend it and walking was a joke. I have been on diclofenac for 2 days and i am totally surprised but I have no pain in either knee at this point, no side effects of this time. and I'm grateful that my doctor was aware enough to know to prescribe this for me"


"I have been on Deplin for over a year now. At first I was on 7.5 mg and that was helpful but when that stopped working the Psych doctor increased the dosage up to 15 mg and it really works. What it does is helps your other antidepressants work better. Deplin will affect each person differently depending on which antidepressant you are taking."


"I'd get a mild headache within fifteen minutes of taking this and the intensity of the pain depended on the dosage."


"Started on 0.75 for 4 weeks then up to full dose 1.5. Nausea and lack of appetite where bad for first 2-3 months then they subsided and I started to eat normally again - lost 3-4 kg - that;'s all

Worst side effect was extreme tiredness

Stopped taking the drug 10 days back but the tiredness persists....... will recommence again in a week or so - body is enjoying the break!"


"I have been on this pill for a year now and have not gotten my period once, which is great because I got on it because my periods were nothing but painful. I love it and wouldn't trade it for the world."


"I was prescribed this as I could not take HRT as I have had breast cancer.  tt was totally effective in stopping my hot flushes, and I couldn't have gont to work without it.  I was on it for a few years, but I don't need to take it anymore, now I'm 63.  I wasn't warned of any side effects, so I don't know if my slightly drier eyes (I wear contact lenses) and my migraines which I think got worse for a time, were due to my age or stress, or what.  But it was an absolute godsend for hot flushes, and I wasn't aware of any other side effects."


"I have had problems with vertigo, dizziness and just a sense of feeling unbalanced for about 15 years.  Never really have found out what causes it, but many times have taken Bonine (meclizine)and one or both ears will pop and I will feel better. I have never had any side effects from this medication whatsoever and would recommend it.  I am very susceptible to heart arrhythmia activity and this medication has never caused me any problems.

"


"Was on Dexedrine for 10 years. Loved it. Just stopped last month because I had tachycardia and an ectopic arrhythmia. Both started about 2 years ago, and I only recently had confirmed that both are non-existent when off of Dexedrine. Have been taking 30mg/day. Switching to Strattera tomorrow, hoping it can provide all the benefits of Dexedrine without the heart issues!"


"Fentanyl takes quite a for give pain relief after application of the patch, also they don't seem to last even 48 hours."


"This medication was a life saver after being admitted in the hospital for being manic an very agaitated was titrated from 50mg to 250mg a day in it has cured my agitation 75% of my mood 50% of my deppression since most antidepressants make me manic I would recommend to anyone who has tried multiple medicines I can finally sleep feel relaxed in not stay angry for hours."


"I took luvox after coming off sertraline for bad side effect, my main problem are insomnia and I can't sleep at night after I had my baby 6 month ago. I started 1st on 25 mg for about 3 days and after that 50mg for the next 2 weeks. I can feel the different in my anxiety but sleep and mood not improved. My pdoc increase my dose to 75mg , but it seems to make me even worst. Then after 2 week my pdoc increase the dose to 100mg. I can feel the difference but not in good way. My moods are still low and I just don't wanna do anything. My sleep also has  not improved. I'm struggling every day. I developed new instrusive thought too.  I can't hold it anymore because this AD do make me worst than before. Bad AD !!!!!!!"


"I switched from Ortho Tri-cyclen to Microgestin three months ago. I did not like the side effects I had with my old pill. I took it for a year and decided to switch. The first month I got my period as scheduled. I missed it completely the second month. I am hoping to have a period this month. I think it's silly for a woman to continuously have to take pregnancy tests while on the pill, I take it so I don't have to worry about it. So I don't know that I like this pill either. I am wondering how many woman do not have a period while on this pill, when I called my doctor he said it was "normal"."


"I have used Androgel and for the price have found it relatively ineffective. Once insurance ran out I could not afford it so looked for an alternative. Also I started to suffer from really bad skin problems with the Androgel and now I've found out the the FDA has issued warnings about the product."


"I'm 18. After a terrible experience on citalopram (antidepressant) to treat anxiety i was really reluctant to take any more medication,. I wanted to feel normal and be able to enjoy the company of others again, i bit the bullet and took 40mg propanolol and within in an hour, i was perfectly still and could concentrate on my work rather than the physical symptoms i could feel!! It also gave me cold hands and feet and breath, but i can more than deal with that!! I also have asthma but as long as i dont do anything too strenuous im fine. I also did a speech this week in a calm collected manner. Doesnt stop the cognitive symptoms like worrying but taking the physical symptoms stops the cycle in its tracks. So glad i was offered this drug."


"Work great, better than any OTC med. Insurance companies need to cover this med, as it will prevent or delay costly other treatments (such as surgeries)."


"Absolutely amazing
Works a treat
10mgs 1hr before
I suffer bad anxiety
This fixed me this wonder pill
Is better than Viagra
I'm in my late 30s I never had a problem until one occasion
Go for it nothing wrong
Wow!! I will keep on taking it"


"Been on and off this medication since November 2014 after a stint of three days with no sleeping thanks to my chronic anxiety/panic disorder.  Started out on 50 mg but I couldn't tolerate it, so I tapered it down to 25 mg and it worked like a charm. The first few days are awful with the dizziness, foggy head, just getting the day started can be a royal pain. However, I had some amazing sleep taking this, just hated the feeling of being drugged. I tried going cold turkey off this medication and let me be the first to say DO NOT GO COLD TURKEY!  I was so sick and shakey, muscle cramps/spasms, severe vomiting, worst flu like feeling you'll ever have. I broke down and cut a 25mg into 12.5 mg.  muscle pain lingers but everything else is better."


"This medication has truly made a huge difference in my mood swings. I am forever grateful."


"This sample was given to me and it is 60mg.  I was told to take 3x per day with meals.   Burning stopped right away  but now I have severe diarrhea after 4 days and feel so bloated.  Doctor told me to go on liquid diet and discontinue use.  I will see him in 2 days."


"Not the drug for me. It made me very jittery. Restless legs +++."


"I got this in December 2015,after many years of my body not accepting birth control pills and I was running out of options. I don't have children so this was better than Mirena for me. The last actual period I had was the one during the insertion process. Although I have been spotting almost everyday for a little over a month it's never enough to leave anything in my panties,i only notice when I wipe. My acne had gotten worse but I've always had that issue. I've also suffered from depression for years so that's not an issue. Overall after about 7 years of switching pills I am able to relax and not worry about bleeding all the time. I wouldn't say this is the best option for all but anyone out there who suffers from heavy periods, go for it."


"I've been taking prazosin to help with Post traumatic stress disorder nightmares for over 5 years. When my doctor told me about it I was ready to try anything to get the nightmares to stop as they were the most intrusive continuous PTSD symptom of mine. I started at 1mg, worked my way to 2mg and found that it worked very well. For a couple of years now, I am only taking 0.5mg as a maintenance dose. The only side-effect I ever experienced was some dizziness upon standing after I took it at night but that disappeared quickly."


"This is the 2nd time I've taken Chantix.  I have learned a few things to watch for this time.  First, you MUST EAT when you take the medication.  If you don't eat, you will get sick.  Second, is that the dreams are so strange.  They aren't scary but they are vivid and odd.  This medication has worked well for me.  Stay on the medicine the full 90 days.  I quit smoking at day 10 both times.  Do remember that this drug doesn't work the same for everyone so be careful."


"im 19 they put me on this originally for anxiety but apparently im bipolar according to the psych evaluation test. The first day on it i basically felt "high" since then Ive felt pretty great. I also take Gabapentin(for fibromyalgia) and prozac."


"Venlafaxine turned out to help my irritable bowel syndrome a lot in addition to the psychological part. I take 225mg a day at the moment, and the days I sometimes forget to take them it gets noticeable worse."


"Original post.
I'm freaking out. Slipped up Saturday night, took emergency contraceptive within 2 hours but can't quit worrying that I'm in the unlucky 5%. Can't sleep. Pretty sure I'm smack in ovulation mode. Hope l I'm with you 95% not pregnant ones

Update #1: I blew up my obgyn's email asking about taking a 2nd emergency pill within this 72 hour window. Not for another slip up, but just to ease my mind from panicking. He said I could take the 2nd one, that it might not be helpful, but it wouldn't make me sick. I ate that 2nd pill immediately and whether it improves my chances of prevention or not, I'm freaking out much less. I'll post another update when I have one. Pray for Aunt Flow to show up for me ladies!

Update #2 Aunt Flow has arrived!!!!!"


"I wanted to post because I was so afraid from the negative reviews I read before getting Nexplanon. With that being said, I highly recommend this product. The last time I posted I stated that I was bleeding for about 9 days. The light spotting lasted for about 3 weeks. Then nothing for 3 weeks, and it started again for about 2 weeks. Since then (2 months) I have not had any sporting. Besides the trials in the beginning, I am very pleased with this product. No mood swings, no acne, no low sex drive and no periods!"


"Decrease of libido. Discontinued use after 8 months."


"I improved a lot when receiving 10mg after 2 months of treatment. When the dosage was increased to 20mg symptoms worsened and I had suicidal thoughts."


"I took my first trulicity shot on Tuesday Sept. 27th. I started feeling VERY  tired the next day. I work a 12 hour shift and I  could barely make it threw the day. Friday evening I felt very ill. Chills, back pain, and headache. Saturday morning I was ill. Chills, radiating pain from stomach, to back, to my head, numbness in my feet, dizziness, confusion, cotton mouth, shakiness, blurried vision, slurred speech, and a huge lump on right side of neck. Today is Tuesday Oct. 4th and I still feel horrible! I won't take this shot ever again"


"I have been taking it for 12 years. It was the second ever BP medicine I was ever put on since my diagnosis in 2000. I really have been lucky with this. No cough for me, and when you read the long term side effects, they aren't anywhere near as scary as most everything else you can take. And the interactions are all minimal and favorable for me. My High BP is a mystery as it does not run on either side of my family. Still taking it but had to up the dosage to 40 mg/day due to extreme unavoidable stress in my life."


"Though I've rated this medication an 8 (when I first started taking it I would have rated it at 12!). I must caution ANY who use it to use it STRICTLY as directed by your (presumably responsible/knowledgeable psych/med doc)."


"I have been on Cymbalta (30mg) for a three week trial for treating my anxiety, depression and fibromyalgia. Thought it sounded like a miracle pill since I'm only 21 years old, but this has caused everything from headaches to stomach pain to diarrhea. I figured I could live with that and let it run its course but things got worse. I noticed my anxiety attacks got much worse and became more frequent, had to go the ER last night because my hands, feet, tongue, ears, face went numb and swelled. Now I'm on steroids and Benadryl to bring it down. "


"I got Liletta inserted in June 2016 and I've had it for about a year with no problems. The process was quick with minor dizziness and cramping right after, but a little relaxation and ibuprofen handled that. I did experience a lot of bleeding for about three weeks after, but from what I understand that is fairly normal. I still get periods, but they are somewhat lighter than they used to be and don't last as long. I did notice a change in my cervical mucous, but it's been great in helping me prevent pregnancy especially when having unprotected sex. I recommend this birth control to anyone who cannot keep up with the pill or may forget."


"This medicine works period.
I've always had cold sore or for as long as I can remember.
On 2/2/16 I felt that tingling we all know about. And remembered my primary Doc had given me a prescription. He told me to keep it handy. I took two in the morning 1 mg each and two in the evening.
I can't say how happy I am. By the second day I usually won't leave the house because my lip gets so big I can't even speak or laugh. Well today is my second day and my cold sore is barely noticeable. I wish I could post pics. It's amazing. The only side effect I got was a weird headache, but I can put up with a headache if the results are amazing like what I got. Ask your doctor for this if you haven't yet. Love it, love it, love it!"


"Wait three to six months before jumping to conclusions about this pill.
I highly recommend taking it. It cleared up my skin like crazy!!!"


"I've used it in the not recent past with some pain and it's been effective but last night was horrible. I took it just before bed and I've had terrible cramps, broke into sweats, and spent part of the night on the bathroom floor in pain. I wasn't even able to go to work today. It is working but the side effects are horrible. I still have sharp pains and it's noon of the next day."


"Out of desperation I tried this medication - not really believing that it would work.  Much to my amazement it did work.  I have, by the grace of God, lost 60 pounds and am able to wear my old clothes.  I feel great and am healthier than I ever. My cholesterol level and blood pressure are under control and I have gone from wearing a size 14 to a size 4!  "


"I took this medication for about two months, and it did not relieve any of my symptoms, and it gave me headaches."


"I am 21 years old and i gave birth April 22 to my beautiful daughter :) I got the depo shot and haven't stopped bleeding since. It has days when it stops for half the day but doesn't completely go away and all of a sudden I started having brown stuff come out. Idk what that means but lets hope it means its going away for good. Never getting any birth control again. Too many side affects."


"My anxiety hit a high in my mid 20s & went from every once in a while to a constant drowning feeling of anxiety. When it became paralyzing, I started therapy. After 3 months of therapy & being against medication, I started to learn more about the illness, how it runs in my family & because the physical symptoms weren't going away I started Lexapro. For the 1st couple of months as I increased the mg, I became paranoid that I was going to become suicidal. I had never thought about this in my life, never depressed & was actually very happy with my life. I was just so paranoid that I would lose control of my anxiety and hurt myself. It went away and I feel better than ever. I see life differently, more grateful for every day "


"After 5 days taking vesicare I feel like I have the flu. My throat is sore, my mouth is dry, vision is blurry and my stomach is upset. I was prescribed 10's. I am stopping them today. I also am having trouble emptying my bladder. I won't take this again."


"For the past year or so, this pill has been a godsend. No worrying about an unintended pregnancy, great skin, short or non-existant periods...it's perfect. For my first year or so on it though, I was an emotional mess. I stopped wanting to go out and was near constantly sad. I have a tendency towards some mild anxiety (It is not severe and I choose to not take medication) but not depression, so I could deal with these symptoms (sort of) and figured that I'd ask about switching at my yearly OB/GYN visit. Almost a week before I went though, it was like a switch was flipped. Now it's like I'm not even on a medication. I will say though that I have always taken it RELIGIOUSLY down to the minute every single day, which I'm sure helps a lot."


"I'm truly convinced if I continued this medication, it would have killed me. I suffered from horrible headaches everyday taking the pill, I was not myself with bad mood swings, and had episodes of fainting while taking this. I also had clear skin prior to starting this pill and broke out with cystic acne all over my body that resulted in expensive treatments from the dermatologist to correct. I would not recommend to anyone, even though everyone reacts differently, this was the worst experience I have had."


"I believe this medication saved my life. I did feel extremely sleepy at first while my dosage was being raised but that went away quickly. I have a new feeling of wanting to get up and do things that wasn't there before. I also feel a sense of calm and peacefulness. The only side effects so far that were troublesome is constipation and sometimes it's hard to concentrate if someone is speaking."


"I wrote a review before when I was a couple weeks into taking phentermine. I am 5'4" and I started on May 1st, 2016 weighing in athe 236 pounds. I was postpartum 1 year after my second child. Today is July 10th, 2016 and I weigh 200 pounds and still losing by the day! I've noticed lots of changes I'm going to share with you all. For starters, I did experience the dry mouth side effect for the first month. I also experienced lots of energy which was a huge thing for me. Now that I'm about 2 1/2 months in and the energy really subsided. Also, in my second month there were days I would not take my medicine because I honestly just missed eating. I also noticed I could continue healthy choices w/o the med. I'll check back in!"


"I am on my 3rd week - first two at 20 mg and now upped to 40.  Should be at 60 (max) after the next follow up with my doctor at the end of week 4.  I'm 45 and have struggled since the age of 8 with weight and depression.  I get by - it's like I'm a high functioning depressed person who works her ass off to try and be healthy and happy.  I was tired and broken when my doctor suggested this drug.  Her daughter has similar issues so obviously it's personal for her too to understand people with these issues.  My experience has been great - I don't feel the urge to binge and my appetite is suppressed.  I feel hungry when I should and don't overeat.  I  love the feeling of being alert.  I work hard and these meds have helped me immensely."


"So, I started this medication almost 3 weeks ago. I can tell you it does curb my appetite. Not for regular 3 course meals but I do not feel the urge to snack in between them. However it is coming at a price. I feel very anxious & I have never ever been a nervous person. I am pretty sure I suffered a panic attack on Friday night. I sat in my car for 30 minutes debating whether or not to drive to the ER. I didn't, I went to sleep & woke up alive . This only seems to happen on 4 pills a day. Today I took 2 around 12 pm and I am starting to feel the kind of nervousness I felt Friday not nearly as bad though. I do get the confusion others talk about as well. Forgetting what I was doing. Just not paying attention like I normally do."


"I recently had my third infusion and I always have more energy after.  My walking and balance also becomes better.  I have no side effects and am very happy."


"Have been taking Xulane for about 8 months, it's been great. Spotting during the first two months, tired with some increase in appetite until my body adjusted. I do notice mild headaches during days (1-2 times per week). Of course, breasts are swollen, which isn't a terrible side effect. I've had no nausea, no weight gain, and my mood seems more balanced. I have a history of depression, and have not had any issues outside of baseline while using Xulane. I have fewer PMS symptoms- less depressed, less irritable, don't want to run people over then cry because I'm a horrible person for thinking that :/ It's been very effective."


"Absolutely HORRIBLE! My pharmacy switched me over from Tri-Pravafram, which was working very well for me. I was told this medication was "exactly the same" as the Tri-P...Lies. Within one week, I had had two acne cysts near my mouth. This never happened to me. Two weeks later, my entire face was covered in cysts and painful whiteheads..my forehead and chin/jawline took the worst beating. I didn't really connect the medication to my issue since the pharmacist had assured me this drug was identical to what I was on before until about 3 months later. I switched pharmacies, and got on Tri-Sprintec and everything cleared up within a month."


"I share the same experiences as other reviewers. Fibromyalgia was finally diagnosed 10 years ago. I started taking Cymbalta one year ago and it has been a life changing event. It allowed me to get off the two opiate pain medications I was on. No need to tell anyone the impact it has on my life. It's a priceless medicine."


"I started taking this birth control a few months before I got married to my husband.  It's the first and only brand I've ever tried, but I've noticed no side-effects.  Even during that crazy pre-wedding time, there wasn't any weight gain or crazy mood swings (I was slightly nauseous the first few days, but it was very temporary).  I've been on it 2 years now with no problems.  Periods are very light, no problems."

"Given a 7 day course. After 2 days, insomnia, anxiety. Complete loss of appetite, eating was a chore. Mild pain in kidney areas. After 5 days, vivid nightmares, difficulty falling asleep, and severe anxiety at night. After 6 days, stopped because of anxiety attack and weak pulse, feelings of lightheadedness."


"Weird dreams"


"The insertion I was painful but the type of cramp you get the day before your period. The doctor told me she loved me and did everything with ease.
I've been on skyla for a month now and have spotted everyday and I think I am on my period now. It's hard to tell the difference since the pain is severe for both. I've been in unbearable pain everyday for a month. My uterus laughs at midol and norco. They only thing that works is naproxen, but if I don't take it before is loses the effect then I'm in pain for the rest of the day especially since it takes 2 hrs to kick in. I've been throwing up for 3 weeks now and it can be due to the pain. I'm going to stick with it. I can't have done this for nothing"


"I can take 2 Ambien and be wide awake. I tried melatonin, ZZZ Quil, Unisom.. sometimes take my Valium at bedtime. My sleep cycle got messed up and I'm trying desperately to get it back."


"I started at 25 mg of Lamictal. After 2 weeks my doctor increased it to 50 mg. 2 weeks after increasing my med I noticed a minor skin rash on my chest one night. I overlooked it & continued taking the Lamictal. When my doctor increased it to 100 mg that is when I started having a bad reaction. That night I broke out in a bad rash on my chest, stomach & left arm (not my right arm). I also started having bad chest pains. I called my doctors office the next day & the nurse told me to stop taking the Lamictal & go to the hospital. I'm stubborn, so I refused to go. My chest pains had gone away & the rash was clearing up, so I wasn't as worried about it as I was the night before. I decided to go to the EmergiCare instead & I turned out to be OK"


"Ok so I'm on here to post on a post I did on February 23 sooooo my first review after a month on pill was good. I can't say it is now :( on my second pack and calling Dr tomorrow to change it.... I started bleeding 2 weeks before my period and I'm also getting acne something I never ever had..... I also get very sensitive and cry for any little thing I'm definitely getting off this  pill the reason the Dr put me on it was to control my heavy cycle and now I'm bleeding in between."


"Medicine works very well for the specified 12 hours but wow it is very strong. I weigh 105 pounds and taking an entire pill will have me falling over and seeing double very shakey also but giving it a seven because at least I can breathe now and this is the only medication that works for that my inhaler won't even help me any more."


"I love Prozac. It really helped with keeping me relaxed and in a decent mood and severely lessened my need to feed the OCD. For some reason my doctor recommended that I should try Zoloft instead. For the first two weeks on Zoloft I had diarrhea and now after six months on it I am starting to have moderate to severe pain in my legs. My leg muscles always feel as if they need a good stretch."


"Keeps me in  good sinus rhythm must be careful of red wine which can put me temporarily into arythmia but I automatically return to sinus in 24 hrs of so"


"I did not think that a pill could help speed along the process of weight loss so much. I have had 4 children and am now 37. losing that weight was not easy like it was when I was younger. My last child was born a year ago and I only lost 10 of the 30 lbs I gained. I am 5'8 and weighed 222 the day I was prescribed Phentermine (January 11, 2013. As of March 7, I weigh 198). 24 lbs in less that 2 months I am HAPPPPPPYYYY! My goal is to be 150lbs. Looks like I will be there soon enough. I drink a lot of water because the only side effect I have is extremely dry mouth. The first night I took it I did have trouble sleeping but not since the first night. I go in to my Dr once a month for a check up, weigh in and new prescription. I highly recommend it!"


"There is a worse tasting medication than this one called FLEET. There is no way around the foul taste of moviprep, don't sip it try not to taste between gulps. Wash your mouth out with clean water after each 250m/l glass and chew a peppermint gum to take away the taste."


"I had skyla inserted last year. I've never had a child before, so the insertion process was uncomfortable for me. I took pain medication before hand and was given medication by my doctor to insert into my vagina prior to soften my cervix. I had mild cramping over the next month, and decent amount of bleeding.

After a month of having the IUD, I started to develop severe joint pain and dry, red eye. I followed up with my gyno, and she had me go to a primary care doctor for my symptoms. I had blood work done for a lot of different factors, and everything came back negative. My PCP recommend that I have it removed, I am very glad that I did my joint pain went away within 2 weeks of the IUD being removed. My doctor thinks I had an allergy"


"I've had insomnia for 15  years and tried about everything on the market.  The only medicine which helps is 45mg of Temazepam. Lower doses did nothing. However, even that is good for only 4 hours sleep. I have to take them almost 3 hours before bedtime for them to work. There are at least 1/3 of the nights it does nothing.  I have had 3 sleep tests and no apnea has ever been detected. Antidepressants all made insomnia worse with frequent awakenings.

"


"I have been receiving  lucentis for almost two years, about 18 injections. my eye sight has stabilized and I am able to drive and use my computer, I still see wavy line with just my left eye,( the one receiving injections) but my right eye is dominant and when both are open things look normal.  I will continue with the treatment  because I do see a lot clearer since I started treatment. I am 77 years young and I don't want to have to slow down my very active life. I think I will always see some wavy lines and a small smoky spot. But you just have to deal with those small problems.   good luck to all off you that will develop this eye condition. see your eye doctor as soon as you notice an eye problem."


"You haven't lived until you have tried Dulco...OMG this has to be the most sophisticated  drug ever made for constipation.  The pain is worse than a woman's labour. I've been using this drug now for about 7-8 years and only when I absolutely  need to. The trick is to drink at least 2 to 3 liters of water with the pills. And the pain is so mild. If you just drink a glass of water, expect to dance from the pain. So I advise anyone taking this pill to drrrrink lots of water. It takes about 6 hours to work. Secondly, dont go anywhere when you dtake it. I used to take 3 at about 2pm at work, by the time I got home at 6 or 7 I was ready to do battle. Continued use of this drug is dangerous and can cause I think palpitations.  Drink lotsa water!"


"I am 20 and have had terrible skin since I was about 15. After taking the Yasmin pill as well as Duac cream from my doctor my skin is so clear and smooth! Everyone keeps saying to me OMG your skin is amazing! I would definitely recommend it it's been brilliant. Only side affect may be mood swings but even at that I'm still not sure..."


"Heavy heavy periods were brought on with this iud. It did the job as far as keeping me from getting pregnant, but wow the periods have been heavy (go through a super tampon in less than an hour!).

Finally getting mine out today. Actually got on birth control pills to make the periods lighter while having the iud and I have never had very heavy periods prior to this."


"For the first time in my life I feel normal. Dec 2011 I has gastric sleeve surgery. (Due to pcos and being pre diabetic ) Going in I weighed 352. I lost nearly 100#s. Over the past few years I've gained 70 back. I work on the road and had no willpower when it came to coworkers stopping for fast food. Saying no is easy now. I'm unsure how much I've lost as my scale is broke, but I'm back in my "skinny jeans" (snug but I couldn't come close to clasping them prior to saxenda. I pretty much force every meal down, and actually have to count calories to ensure I'm getting enough! My main side effect has been nausea. Eatting a few bites feeling like I ate a buffet."


"The actual effects were great. I did not experience any negative effects except for nausea on the first couple of days. "


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


"Granddaughter in hospital thanks to this, everyone do the research"


"This medication is first in class. It is not the same as the other Overactive Bladder medications. I was unable to take the other meds because of dry mouth. This medication gave me zero dry mouth and it works!"


"I started by waking up in February 2016 with head to toe hives which remained until today, still have hive breakouts and random angioedema spells. I get a shot a month but I still have to take prednisone daily. I've been on prednisone since February 2016 I've lost so much hair and gained 45lbs. I hate waking up still. I've been getting xolair for 6 months, it takes the edge off but not enough. Miserable in Georgia."


"I have had Skyla for 4 months, before insertion I took 800mg of motrin, while the procedure still hurt, it only lasted for a couple of minutes. After I left I took another motrin in hopes to avoid any cramping, I felt a little weird at first kind of delicate I suppose but nothing horrible. That night I had some painful cramps but nothing some ibuprofen couldn't handle. The next day I felt completely fine, just some minor cramps here and there but no weight gain or mood changes. I chose this birth control because I was having irregular periods, I am 24 with no children and live an active lifestyle. It has been a great experience, I do not really have periods anymore and it has regulated all of my pms symptoms."


"Helped tremendously with migraine and tension headaches!!!"


"Wonderful results after only a week.  Not nearly as stiff, does not make me tired, and effects last 10-12 hours.  A blessing it can be bought over the counter."


"Ultram worked very well with no bad side effects for postoperative pain."


"Had Sinusitis for 2 months. I was hesitant to take Cefdinir after reading all the bad reviews on here, but I finally gave in and it cleared it up in a matter of days with no side effects.   Seems the most common side effects reported here are headache and diarrhea.  I think many people aren't aware that Cefdinir should be taken with food, and that whenever you take any sort of antibiotic, you should follow up with a probiotic a couple of hours after each pill to re-balance your gut bacteria.  These two steps are probably what kept from experiencing those side effects."


"I am on 700mg every day, my dose is always increasing. It doesn't knock me out anymore. I took 700mg a couple hours ago and I'm still wide awake. Each time my dose goes up I'm stable for a week or two but then I start to go crazy again pretty quick."


"Tried other medicines for this condition and nothing helped. I used Halobetasol Propionate 0.05% Cream and it cleared in two days."


"My doc prescribed this for endometriosis. I've tried other bc pills and right away they either made me depressed, nauseated, made my period last for weeks, gain weight, breasts ballooned up and were painful, cramps every day, acne, pretty much every awful side effect you can think of. But thankfully NOT on this pill. There has been zero side effects. Maybe for the first week I experienced mood swings at the same time at night when I took the pill but it didn't last if that was related to it. I only gave it 9 out of 10 because I've just started the second month and I'm keeping an open mind in case things were to change. But I'm so thrilled with it so far and I hope it holds up!"
