"37 and two little ones, both delivered via c-section. I have symptoms of Adenomyosis, so opted for an IUD since I had bad experiences with BC pills. Plus I want to avoid a hysterectomy in my 30s and 40s... No pain during insertion (just like a pap) and it stopped one of the worse periods I have ever had dead in its tracks (10/31/16). Literally no cramps or clots -- just a tiny little spotting. I hope to avoid some of the horrible side effects people list on the web, but so far so good! I would totally recommend this device!"


"It has definitely helped with depression and anxiety. But the withdrawal effects are horrible. If I forget to take a dose, I wake up SO groggy and out of it. I have these electric-like pains through my body, my vision becomes wavy, and I get a migraine."


"Chantix was the easiest way I could have imagined to quit my 30  year, 2 pack a day habit.  It took two rounds since I fell off the non-smoking wagon after the first attempt but I'm now smoke free for over three years.  I had some vivid dreams but to be honest, I enjoyed them! :)"


"Found myself getting up 4-8 times a day and needing the toilet alot during the day. First prescribed 5mg and it done absolutely nothing so the doctor uped them to 10mg and still nothing except constipation. So ive stopped them and will just have to deal with it."


"I'm a 55 year old male and have been on Inderal since I was in my late 20's. This medicine was perfect for me with little side effects. Some light-headedness at times, nausea was probably the worst side-effect. Inderal has become expensive over the years and sometimes hard to find. After insurance company changes forced me to try other blood pressure drugs, I ended up back on Inderal. Now it seems it is not as effective as it was before. No one (Doctor, Cardiologist, etc.) seems to know why. Increase in palpitations, blood pressure rising, side effects have become worse, etc. Doctor put me on Bystolic. We'll see how it goes.
LESSON: If a medicine works for you and you've been on it a long time, STAY ON IT. Don't let the insurance companies play with your health!"


"38yo female, suffered severe neck pain for about 5 years with no success in any type of treatment (massage, spinal reflex, nerve pain specialists etc.). I have spent a small fortune on my neck pain. I have finally self-diagnosed as osteoarthritis after feeling sand-like grit in my neck and a few internet searches. Thought I would try voltaren and magic. Only need to take 50mg once per day and no neck pain. Highly recommend."


"I have vestibular migraines or migrainous vertigo, I don't really suffer with headache pain, my symptoms affect my balance, my hearing and vision. I do take other medication for this (Amitriptyline), my neurologist recommended Maxalt wafers, I take this when I know my migraine is getting worse. I do feel the benefits of Maxalt, and only take Maxalt when necessary as they do make me feel groggy.
I'm not a fan of taking medication, but this does help my symptoms."


"I began having acne at age 20. Went to a ton of doctors was put on doxy for 6 months, lots of topicals, and accutane, and none of it worked. Five years later it turns out my testosterone levels were way too high and I have Polycystic ovarian syndrome. Gyno put me on 200mg a day. First month I was very nauseous and dizzy. I wanted to sleep all the time. It's been two months and the side effects are gone, but I'm still breaking out. Hopefully it works after a couple more months. I suggest any adult acne sufferer try this out before you spend years trying things that are not effective. My acne scars are awful and I need dermabrasion now."


"It worked better than I had expected. The day following my first application, I was a normal human with normal armpits. A few days in a row of use, then roughly once a month. My sweating is under control. I've maybe used it twice since the first six months. 3 yrs later, I keep the bottle around just in case I notice excess perspiration beginning agian."


"I do believe, as all of you have stated, that Accutane is by far, the best form of treatment for cystic acne. I am 43 years old. I didn't have acne as a teenager, but ended up getting it in my early thirties. I have been on and off Accutane for the past 13 years. It does work, however, in my unfortunate circumstance, it always comes back. My doctor tells me that there are a select group of women who don't get acne until they are in their thirties and forties. For many of the adults, 1,2,3, or even 4 courses of Accutane don't work without the acne coming back at some point. For me, I have to take a consistent low dose to keep the acne at bay."


"I've been using the ring for more than 3yrs.  It's expensive but worth it to me because I no longer experience nausea, break through bleeding, or deal with having to take a pill every day. One personal drawback though, mine occasionally wants to slip out and having to reshape it and push it back in it gets to be a little annoying after a while."


"I've had RLS since a child. I began on Carbadopa in the 1990's, but I quickly became used to it, and was switched to Sinemet about 2000. It works well, with no side effects. I'm on a very low dose.

Like many others here, timing is everything and there are many other factors to consider:
- Take Sinemet at least 1/2 to 1 hour before you eat.
- Eat early (so food digests before you go to bed).
- Eat a light meal (heavy or spicy foods can amplify the symptoms of RLS).
- Refrain from drinking liquids about a hour before bed.
- Stress can aggravate RLS symptoms (try yoga or some other stress reduction activity).
- Adjust the room temperature to be comfortable.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Exercise!!!"


"Sominex helps me to get to sleep fast.  I can wake as I need and then return to sleep quickly."


"Using for acne and hormonal reasons, works well for skin clearing and regular periods. Does induce some spotting prior to menstrual cycle but others works great with no other side effects."


"I've been taking trintellix for 3 months now. My doctor gave me samples for 2 1/2 months to try it out. It worked for me. No side effects, or nausea like some people have reported. At first my insurance denied coverage but after an appeal, I was covered. When I picked up my script it was 470$ I do feel a little extra sleepy at times, could be a side effect. But other than that I feel pretty good. However I still am not on anything for anxiety because they stopped giving benzos. I do take lamictal at night for my mood, but it's not enough. After trying at least 10 meds, I am pretty happy with this one."


"So far I havent experienced anything major. For the first 2 weeks the nausea was annoying and the tenderness of the breast, nothing unbearable though. Didn't experience any acne other than 1 or 2. I have gained a few pounds so far Taytulla is great!"


"Just started Linzess 290mcg yesterday morning and took another this morning both 30 mins before eating or drinking and so far no bowel movement at all. Still waiting...and it's 5 pm on the second day..  My gastro started me on this med as he is looking into my chronic pelvic pain. I usually 'go' about 5 x week. And that has been the same my entire life. Hopefully soon..."


"I got my Skyla about a month ago and I gotta tell you, it hurt like crazy. I was confused when people said it hurt, but not enough to really be bothered by it. I felt there was something seriously wrong with mine because the severe pain from the insertion stayed for over a two weeks. It is finally starting to ease up, but I had to go to my gyno to find out why it hurt so bad. It turns out if you have endometriosis, like I do, you are pretty much screwed for the first month, or whenever your uterus decides to take it. I only paid my deductible so the thing itself was no cost to me. But all in all, it is a pretty useful little birth control. You just have to get through the pain."


"Have taken a very low dose 25-50 mg one hour before sleep for the past five years. After having been an insomniac since elementary school and having tried every drug on the market that never worked, I now consider myself an ex-insomniac because of using Seroquel."


"The only pain medication that has worked for me and I have severe rheumatoid arthritis and a spine condition."


"My husband took victoza and metformin together as recommended by his diabetic nurse. He had always been on  metformine but as soon as he started taking victoza my husband started feeling sick, stomach cramps and getting eggy burbs. This would happen once a month for the whole yr he took it. He'd take time off work being sick because if the sickly symptoms.  I'm so convinced that this is what gave my husband cancer of the upper stomach and esophagus. His life was was taken away from him too soon (42 yrs old) leaving behind a broken and devastated wife, 2yr old and at the time a 6month old baby.  Did  anyone else has experience  anything like this?"


"Lithium provides a ton of stability for ultra-rapid cyclers.  The drawbacks are it interacts with almost everything in certain ways and it is fairly hard on the liver.  My primary care physician and psychiatrist work together to try to provide options that won't affect my liver as much as a result.  Because of the amount of stability it provides, I don't think I'll ever be able to go off of it.  I may be able to lower it by trying changes to other things.  But it just works too well at giving stability.  I don't like when the pharmacist says it out loud because it's a dead giveaway of what you're taking it for.  "


"Sominex works well; sleep all night!!"


"I was on this for about six months. I used to have periods that lasted six days at a time and I would have a long time in between. I've also always been small and have trouble gaining weight. I've never had acne. As soon as I went on this I broke out and gained eight pounds even though I was eating less and exercizing more and have been emotionally unavailable. In the beginning my skin broke out but that changed after three months. My period still last as long but now its slightly heavier and I get it nearly twice as often. However, I have to give it a seven because my fiance and I have unprotected sex and I am not pregnant. I have had slight breast tenderness but that has also gone away for the most part."


"Type 1 diabetes for 33 years.  I try to take meticulous control of my diabetes but it is always difficult to control my blood sugars.  Having tried both Lantus and Levemir, and not wanting to go on a pump again, I tried Tresiba.  Tresiba is just like being on a pump, except for my required injuections of novolog before food intake.  Sugars consistently run in the low 100s to 125.  Now I feel like my blood sugar needs to be corrected if it gets to 170.  On both Lantus and Levemir I would've been content with a reading of 170.  Tresiba is like being on a pump without the pump.  It will take at least 8 days to get your Tresiba dosage correct, do not give up.  My sugars were in the 300s while converting from Levemir to Tresiba."


"The side effects. Today I went to the Dr with symptoms of cloudy urine and frequent urination. I was diagnosed with a bladder infection and I was prescribed Macrobid, 2x po daily for 5 days. I've taken this medication before for a UTI and I was fine, but for some reason, I took this pill 2 hours ago and already I feel the sensation to gag every time a breathe in. This kind of nausea feels detestable. I'm so uncomfortable. I also got severe back pain and tight chest out of nowhere. I can't believe this."


"I have suffered with generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder since I can remember. I got prescribed these at 50mg 3 weeks ago. The first few days I got a horrible cold nausea feeling in the pit of my stomach, I had no appetite and I noticed straightaway that it took me longer to orgasm.

3 months into them, I still feel anxious, but for the first time since I can remember I was able to present to a group without shaking, losing my voice and my heart beating rapidly. It almost feels like a small weight has been lifted which gives you that control back over my thoughts. I was able to say 'put your best into it. You will be fine' and I believed it.

This is only a small step to overcoming my anxiety but this medication has helped me a lot."


"I have tried literally every migraine medicine: Maxalt, Zomig, codeine. I have had migraines for 9 years now and have used Axert for one year. Sometimes it works very well with just one dose combined with Toradol. I have had no side effect with Axert. I use also 50 mg of Topiramate at night before bed. In the Fall weather I have had migraines daily and I am using two doses of Axert (12.5 mg) and probably not waiting a full 24 hours for the next dose. I am now getting Botox injections in the forehead, both sides of the temple and back of the neck. This is a 100cc of Botox every 3 months at $400 a pop. I need to find some relief!"


"The medicine was effective and I was beginning to see improvement in my nail after a few months, then started having painful redness, blisters, itching and swelling. It is miserable. I've stopped using it until all these side effects go away. I'm very disappointed in having to stop using Jublia as it was really beginning to get rid of the fungus. Before I knew what was causing these problems, I asked my dermatologist if it could be the medicine and he said he'd never had a patient to have these side effects using it. I found out on my own that it was the Jublia."


"I had been to the dermatologist for treatment to my lower lip diagnosed as Actinic Keratosis. Initially, he sprayed it with Liquid nitrogen and prescribed Solaraze gel. I used this gel for about  2 months twice daily on the lip. I must mention that there absolutely no effect of this medication on my lip. A total waste of money if you don't have insurance as it can be quite expensive without it.

Then I was prescribed all sort of other creams which was nothing but a waste of money on moisturizers. Don't feel bad to question the dermatologist as to what the cream does and whether it will cure you. The most essential treatment for single or isolated AKs is  cryotherapy - liquid nitrogen spray."


"I dont have PCOS however i have horrid dark and very coarse hair on my chin and under it since I was a teenager. I have to shave every day,being a woman it is such a horrible feeling. I feel embarassed in bright sunshine and dread the summer months. I have had lazer, and didnt work. I thought nothing would help so i got the courage to go to my doctor who perscribed me Vaniqua one week ago today. I dont want to jinx it but i think its starting to work already. I usually shave in the morning and by nighttime in bed i can usually feel the stubble through again but the past few nights its been smooth with a small bit through in the morning. Its still bumpy underneath but its only been a week so im hoping it keeps working! Will update again soon"


"I got the pills for free at Planned Parenthood. They were effective in the aspect that I never got pregnant, but the side effects were pretty horrible. I had clear skin all my life, but when I got on the pill I suffered from bad acne. I gained about ten pounds, a full cup size, and I felt constantly bloated. By the third month, I started suffering anxiety and depression. This medicine changed my personality and really messed with my head. After quitting, I've finally started to get my life back and my anxiety is going away. I personally don't think these pills are worth the side effects."


"I am a teenager and have lost 5 pounds in TWO days, I only take Contrave in the morning (because it's my first week of course) I constantly feel tired and sick, I never feel hungry and I have to make myself eat, starting to wonder if this is even safe for me!"


"Please be careful. After being on this high estrogen based pill, I am 36 and just diagnosed with breast cancer. The non hormonal IUD would probably be better. Having ten kids would be better."


"This is my first night taking gap and I can't sleep. I took it at 9 it is now 12 I'm going to keep trying it for a few more days I will let you all know."


"I would be in bed all day without this medicine. I have tried A LOT of pain pills and never really got much relief. I have A.L.S. and this medicine has made me be able to get up and do things, which I wasn't able to do before I was on this medicine. I could not even get out of bed without such bad pain. At least now I can enjoy what time I have with my family without being in such severe pain and still I have pain even with Oxycontin I never get pain free but it is tolerable with this drug. It was not even tolerable with others I have tried in the past."


"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."


"I was into withdrawal one and a half days when I started shaking and feeling anxious. Having already had several seizures due to alcohol I went to my GP who prescribed Librium.  Symptoms almost stopped completely after 1 day and after that no symptoms at all.  Don't try to stop yourself it's dangerous and could cost you your life."


"I had suffered from anxiety and depression (suicidal grade) since I was a boy.  I first began taking anti-depressants at age 12. My doctor had a chart in her office about low T, it listed 10 symptoms. I had all 10. I asked her to prescribe it. So, she did all of the required tests. I was within the average range. 7 years later same results, I am now 48. Finally in January of 2014, I said that I would chance any side effect. My tests had come back normal yet again. But, she did prescribe it. I woke up on day 14 with NO depression or anxiety. What can I say, 48 years of existing and my brain chemistry is now great. My energy level is incredible and depression simply doesn't happen. It is quite a miracle. Get it!"


"Its so painful. And not a good hurt, just plain painful. So unbearable you may pass out. The terrible itch and burn in a place you should never feel. I'm hoping this pain is only because its working. Best advice, go to bed immediately after inserting and hopefully the pain doesn't wake you."


"I've been on the pill for over three weeks and the side effects are horrible. I've gained 10 lbs in just these three weeks. I've been bloating really bad and thought I was pregnant. I originally got on this pill for mainly my acne and the pill made it worse. I've woken up with terrible migraines and being nauseous. My moods swings are bad and sometimes I'm depressed because of the weight gain. I couldn't ride my horse the soreness of my breasts were terrible. I'm thinking about getting off this pill and trying a difference one."


"First I started on 40mg and I guess my body got used to it.  I had to go up to 60mg and everything started getting better.  Then, my Dr. told me he had to take me back down to 40mg because a warning was released that anything over 40mg could cause a malfunction with the electrical signals in the heart.  I am back on 40mg and things are progressively getting back to where they were to start with.  I think I need to change medicines."

"I recently switched from LoEstrin 21 to Trinessa. It has only been a month exactly, but I have zero complaints so far. Totally cleared all my acne that I continuously got from my last birth control pill and absolutely no breakthrough bleeding as well. I was nervous to switch after reading many negative reviews but it is the best switch I made. I am much happier on it, and haven't gained any weight on Trinessa."


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


"This medicine is a life saver.  I was diagnosed with anxiety/panic disorder in the spring of 2011, and I was on 30mg for a year.  The only side effect I had was lack of sex drive/ability.  Because of this, I weaned off it, and all of my anxiety and panic attacks came back.  I was miserable for about 2 months until I went back on it.  I've tried Zoloft, Remeron, and Wellbutrin, but Lexapro is the only one that worked for me.  I had zero panic attacks on Lexapro and enjoyed life.  I am currently back on 10mg and will be moving up to 20mg shortly.

Everyone's experience differs with these kinds of medicines, but my advice is: stay on it.  The first few weeks might be rough, but as long as the side effects aren't terrible, give it time."


"Prednisone helps shrink my bulging back disc and provides full relief that lasts until I do something foolish again.  I have taken a full regimen 3 times in the last 4 years"


"I've had super clear skin until the last week of eighth grade! Now it's summer and I needed something to help my sudden breakout before high school. My doctor recommended Epiduo. At first, I was using it twice a day because I thought it would get rid of the acne faster. It didn't. I couldn't wear makeup because my skin was dry and peeling and way discolored. So I stopped for about 3 days and just moisturized. My acne got a little worst after that. I am 5 days past the 1 month mark and my skin is actually just starting to clear up. I used it once a day at night with the Cetaphil face wash. I only have it in the middle of my forehead near my hairline and on my cheeks. I was getting very discouraged, but the medicine needs about 3 months."


"Hi everyone I am 27 years old with an 18 month old little girl. My starting weight was 191 and I'm 5'4.  I started taking phen on 8-1-15 so 1 week ago and I'm already down to 182. I am also working out 4 days a week and trying my best to eat healthy. Hoping for 60 more pounds to be at my pre baby weight. Wish me luck "


"I have been on this birth control since I was 16, I am now 21. I was not sexually active til 17. I didn't really have any interest in sex until I was 19, referring to sex drive.

Depo was the best decision I ever made the first 3 years, then my body starting having random cramps from time to time. I could be walking and I would have to stop for 2 minutes. I wouldn't move. I would have discharge. I had 2 day periods for 2 years every 3 months right before my next shot .. Now I'll spot for  a couple weeks. I started at 112 now I'm 121 . I never had a problem with gaining weight. I'm still not pregnant. So I'll stay on this because the pros outweigh the cons."


"Works kinda well but you will sleep like nonstop and you will gain weight. I gained at least 30 pounds on this med and was sleeping like 14 hours a day."


"After my hysterectomy, I took Premarin , in fact for 7 years I took it for hot flashes, but my Doctor changed my  medication to  Cenestin : I was weary at first because I suffered miserably with extreme hot flashes, soaking sweats, sleeplessness: But Cenestin started working within 2 days after I started on it. I had no more soaked bed sheets and hair, and I felt like myself  all over again:  Only Better. And Censtin is all natural, no side effects for me. Insurance covers my Cenestin for now, but later I will have to pay out of pocket, which is very expensive, but well worth every penny to me for the comfort and peace of mind I now have. Thank You Cenestin."


"I've been taking Ultram for nerve pain related to a herniated and degenerative disc. I tried opioid narcotics with NO relief. I could barely walk around and could not sit. Within 45 minutes my pain dropped from a 8/10 to 3/10. After a couple of days my pain was 1/10. The only side effect I experienced was slight dry mouth. It works great!!"


"Wish I would've listened to the reviews I read.

This this is sent from hell, created by Satan himself. I've had it in for 3 weeks and already seeing horrible side effects most women didn't see until they had it in for months. I'm always tired. Always hungry. It hurts my whole arm that it's in. It's caused achy joints in my knees. Constipation leaving me with awful bloating and gassy pain in my stomach. It still feels bruised. My sex drive is completely gone and I can't even have an orgasm anymore. I have no interest in my boyfriend and this all started a week after this thing was in.

I'm calling to get it removed today. I can't stand it anymore and it's not going to ruin my life. Try it if you dare, but I would not recommend it."


"Been on sulfasalazine for 3 years, for me the first 2 weeks were hard on the stomach. Felt like I was going to vomit all the time but never did, it was slow to have the effect maybe  a month, but after that it has been good. Still get flare up the odd time. It is inexpensive compared to the other medications."


"I had suffered with mild depression for quite a few years, The Dr. had prescribed several anti-depressants over the years, with mild effectiveness, so I stopped taking them. When I was in my mid 30's, I had an episode where I thought I was having a heart attack. After going to the ER, I was diagnosed with having panic disorder. I was totally embarrassed and thought I was being a hypocondriac. These panic attacks continued on and on. I had enough, and told my Dr. about it. She prescribed Lexapro. I reluctantly took it, thinking it would be like the others.I was totally wrong. I finally felt like my true self....not afraid, or anxious and no more panic attacks! I can finally live my life without fear. So thankful for this medication."


"I have Hep C genotype 2 and was prescribed solvaldi and rib; solvaldi once a day rib 3 in morning then 3 at night.. 4 weeks into tx my viral load is undetected!!! The nurse advised even tho this is the best possible outcome, to keep up the meds for the remaining 2 months , I think, gladly !"


"I have been on this only a short time with no side effects and my breathing has improved so much. I believe I can shortly be taken off of prednisone for the first time in 30 months using this along with Brovana and budesonide. No need to say I am thrilled. Now just need to get my insurance to help pay for this."


"I was prescribed this to help with RA and Periphreal Neuropathy in my feet. My script is 50mg, I take one at night. I also take Gabapentin 300mg at night. The pain is much better, but I have horrible hangovers. I don't know which is the problem, but I don't want to stop because my pain is tolerable now. "


"I started using Nuvaring a year ago and finally decided to take it out a month ago. It was my boyfriend who finally pointed out that maybe my extreme mood swings that coincidentally started when I began using the ring could be attributed to it. I would cry and become angry literally every time I had my period, I have always been somewhat emotional when my period started but never like I have been in the past year. I started using it right when we began dating, and I attributed my extreme dryness to getting older (I'm 21). Right when I took it out I was back to normal again. Pro's: my breasts grew a cup size, my face was clear, and I loved not having to think about taking a pill every day. Con's: No sex drive, dryness, crazy mood swings."


"I had knee surgery in 2001. The surgeon screwed up a nerve and I have been in chronic pain (24/7) since. Vicodin works better than anything else I've tried, including morphine. Without it, I am in pain and can't sleep at night. I can now understand why people commit suicide because they can't take the pain anymore."


"I have extremely bad anxiety and it makes me panic daily and depression, Before this drug i have tried so many other ones that did nothing at all! I was giving up hope on finding something that would work for me until my doctor prescribed me this. I started out low at first but im now on 20mg and even when i started low it did wonders, I use to not be able to talk about it without panicking but within a week after taking it i could actually talk about it and think straight. Thinking back before i was on it to where im at now its like a who new world, I defenitely recommend this."


"My foot was severely broken in a auto accident and my doctor prescribed 5/325 norco 1 to 2 every 4 hours. The pain is so bad all I can do is moan. The doctor is a young buck and apparently doesn't understand the pain I'm having."


"Seems like it's working as birth control. My skin looks very good on it, kind of velvety and with 50% less break outs. I've gotten comments about how good I look, and even my body seems to have a more feminine shape to it, larger breasts, smaller stomach, it must have gotten rid of all my free testosterone.  But I also got extremely dehydrated on this medication, so be sure you hydrate and replace all your electrolytes. I also had a period that lasted 12 days, which was super annoying. So my advice, when taking this is to be extra careful with your daily routine, sleep routine, food, drinking, exercise. Really stick to your routine and if something is off, see your doctor."


"I've tried many prescriptions for migraines. Maxalt is the only thing that works for me 99% of the time (I can't remember the last time I had to take a second dose for it to take effect). Within 1 hour of taking it, my migraine goes away. Nothing else comes close to this effectiveness for me.  I normally do get one side effect - but it's one I've actually come to welcome. It makes me drowsy - but after having a migraine, I look forward to going to sleep as fast as possible and just sleep away the migraine as the medicine works its way through my system."


"I have tried Chantix 3 times, each time with worsening side effects.  While it does help me not to smoke, I have experienced severe constipation, slight nausea (no problem if taken with food) and some vivid dreams.  After reviewing others comments, I may give it another go with a lower dosage."

"Found out in April of 2013 I had AIDS was hospitalized with PCP. Started out with a CD4 count of 42 viral load of 825,000 then dropped to 179,000 being on antibiotics then just before starting Stribild my CD4 was 94 and a viral load of over 2,2 million. Was on the meds for just one month and my CD4 count is at 494 and a viral load of 1896. I'm so pleased with Stribild no real bad side effects."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Do not take this product if you think you have an irritation or ulcer in your colon. It works for about 4 hours (had about 5 to 7 visits to the toilet). In the 5th hour (11PM), I start getting intense pain in my lower right abdomen where the colon is located. The pain was so severe that I was not able to lay down. I could sit to ease the pain somewhat but still could not fall asleep. I stood periodically to ease the pain, but basically had a sleepless night. I decided not to take the second dose at 5AM for fear the pain would be even worse.  I was not able to have the colonoscopy as a result."


"first time to take borth control pills.. today was my first pill of micronor and after taking the pill by 6 hrs .. I started to get a lot of cramps but even more that I used to get with my period.. I don t know if this will continue or no ... I will take it for few more days and if this continued i will stop."


"I started taking Contrave Jan 2016.  I lost about 10lbs within 3 months.  I've been on/off it several times over the last 1.5 years.  It seems to work in the beginning (1st month) but then your body becomes adjusted to it.  10lbs is not worth the side effects and heart risks.  I've heard this crazy stories of folks losing upwards of 35lbs in 3 months.  Definitely didn't work that well for me.  Save your money and try eating less and exercising more."

"I took the first pill this morning. This is the first time in years that I didn't fall asleep in church! I can't wait to go to school Monday morning to see if I get sleepy and doze off in class. Provigil could be one of the best things that ever happened to me!"


"Had my first shot about a week ago. I have major pain in my joints (elbows and knees), hot flashes and night sweats. But honestly so far so good. I am no longer feeling the horrible endometriosis pain. Will update more once I'm further in. Plan as of now is to do 6 months of Lupron and see if my Fallopian tubes have less swelling and inflammation as my husband and I would love a baby of our own. Good luck to all. This is not easy. But I am hoping it will be worth it."


"DO NOT use this! FAR too concentrated and you will BURN! I woke up in absolute throbbing pain and I was swollen. I went to the ER and I have a high pain tolerance. They ultimately could not do much as douching or flushing would only potentially push the cream deeper, but a warm compress, Benadryl, and ibuprofen seemed to help me. It's 24 hours after insertion now and I'm 90% back to the way I was before I took it. Will NEVER recommend this to anyone."


"After spending my whole life with GERD and suffering from it in ways I hadn't even noticed at the time, this drug was amazing. The only annoying part was that I could feel it, almost like a blockage in the base of my throat when I took it, but that was a small price to pay for the ability to eat/drink whatever I wanted and not have to chew on Tums later. I think it had actually been prescribed for GERD-related bronchial spasms (though I'm not positive), and those went away as well. I was completely ecstatic while I was using this, though!"


"I've been taking Miralax as I was told take daily for my chronic bowel constipation which always resulted in blockage. I recently saw a commercial for Lizness and decided to research it on my own. I saw my physician and they let me try it for 30 days only because of the severity ofmy blockages to see a gastro dr.  I have been on it now for 4 days and this is the best I've felt in 11 years since my bowel was damaged in surgery in error.  I finally feel hope for my physical future."


"Within a few days of starting on a daily dose of 5mg I began having gas to the point that it was embarrassing and had trouble falling asleep every night.  Gave up on Glipizide after a month and focused on eating better and getting more exercise instead."


"At first it was like a temporary quick fix. My hands would be dry, but when I got nervous I would feel the tingling sensation in my hands like they always do before they sweat, and they sweat. I put it on every night but it doesn't seem to work, going to the doctors today to take pills instead."


"I've been on Minastrin for 6 months now. I went from very heavy painful long lasting periods to none at all. I haven't had any side effects except breast tenderness once a month. I love this pill. They say give your bdy at least 3 months to adjust. So maybe just stick it out for a while and see what happens. As for me I WILL be sticking with this pill."


"I've been on hydrocodine 10/235mg for years and my orthopedic changed me to subutex (generic) I was taking 8 Senokot-s a day for at least 3 days so I could get a small movement and it was hard very hard to get out. So I was told by MD and Pharmacy to try and take Movantik 25mg and now I'm being told to take both Movantik 25 with 2 or 4 Senokot-s cause Movantik isn't working by itself. Anyone else having this problem? I'm on a high fiber diet and I'm drink exactly 140 oz water a day everyday? I rated Movantik 25mg a (3) out of kindness cause I think it needs to be lower."


"Had heart attack 12/15/2016 and put on Brilinta 90mg twice a day, plus 81mg Aspirin once a day. I experienced shortness of breath, and a cough. Went to see my Cardiologist, he says the shortness of breath will get better, and the cough is not related to the Brilinta. Recently I started feeling soreness on the tops of my hands I press on the veins, and soreness increases. I have now developed large bruises on the top of both hands, with slight swelling.  My vision also has changed,  bluryness in my left eye, I see no documentation that this is a side effect. Anyone else have this?"


"The Haldol worked great for controlling my Tourette's, but it came with too many side effects so I had to switch.  I gained ten pounds in the first week of use which tapered off after around three weeks, but the restlessness was unbearable.  I was put on Cogentin for it but then my vision became blurry and could not see anything within eighteen inches.  It was horrible."


"Lyrica works! "


"I was prescribed this for paranoid Psychosis and depression. At first I was to take a half of a 100mg tablet at night for a week then raise to the whole pill.  After taking the half the first night at eight and feeling drunk I decided this might not be for me so I cut the half in half and take a quarter pill a night.  It has helped me sleep and seems to curve my over thinking things and thinking that every comment or conversation on social media is about me.  I think also by getting off social media altogether it also helped my situation.  But overall good medication, it's the only thing I take."


"Best anti-depressant I've been on. Before taking this I have tried Celexa and Lexapro. My depression is little to none and I have so much more energy. My main negative side effects to this have been dry mouth and difficulty falling asleep. And yes it totally curbs your appetite. I ended up going off of it for 3 months after losing my health insurance and gained 10 pounds."


"My Doctor put me on Gabapentin after my neck surgery for nerve damage. I couldn't take it. It caused strange out of body experiences. He next tried Lycia and no problems. Actually I feel much much better taking the Lycia. It doesn't completely get rid of the pain but it does make it bearable."


"It worked great on my Hyper-Mobility Syndrome! (All of my joints are "double-jointed") Which causes chronic pain for years & gets worse with age. The only side effect I've had is constipation. With Avinza I actually have a better quality of life!"


"The pain from this medication is so much worse than any kind of infection could ever be. I want to smack the pharmacist for recommending it. Terrible burning and itching. No way I will sleep tonight "


"I've only had the implant for a little over a month.. I got it June the 6th.. Since then I've bleed for 24 days on end.. Light spotting which I hate.. Also my skin has begin to break out as well.. Not really big bumps but little annoying ones.. That keep popping up each day.. Makes me wanna go see my dermatologist again. I've also had mood swings as well.. Which I already suffered from.. I think it's getting worse too.. No weight gain. I work out pretty regularly. Imma try it for just one more month and if these side effects don't stop or at least get better I will have it removed. The only real plus is that I haven't got pregnant and I have sex pretty often.. So I guess it's serving its only real purpose."


"It did nothing for me and the doctors wouldn't take me off it."


"As far as the medicine doing what it is supposed to do, it's great.  It dries acne (even severe acne, in my case).  Unfortunately, it also caused me to have systemic side effects - rare, but they do happen.  I developed ringing in my ears and had to stop using it.  After a month I tried using it again, and the ringing returned.  I've been keeping careful track of my usage of it and the episodes of ringing in my ear, and they match.  I'm probably one in a thousand that this has happened to, but being a musician, I need to be able to hear.  My dermatologist and I will be meeting next week to discuss this and see if there are any other options for me."


"The only antibiotic that promptly and consistently resolves my chronic bronchitis."


"I began to have issues maintaining an erection due to medications I take for other health issues.  I am young and it is extremely embarrassing.  My wife was also unfulfilled and unhappy that we were not being intimate very often.

I asked my doctor for help and he gave me Cialis.  5mg to start. It works amazingly well. Once you get the desire you get a nice long lasting erection.
I highly recommend Cialis. The only side effect I have experienced is soreness. But that's because of all the sex and not because of the Cialis."


"I have just applied this once to my underarms works great ! Only problem is that I experienced burning and itching the first night I applied it haven't applied it since and now my underarms are peeling and burn and feel irritated in the morning when I put on a shirt and put my arms down maybe it was because I used to much at first I'm not sure and I haven't used it since I don't know what I should do has anyone had this experience ?"


"It worked for me in just 1 month, and I had no bad side effects besides dry lips and red eyes. You just take a pill for a few months and your acne melts away. Please do this if your acne is bothering you. Its so depressing to have acne, and Accutane can change your life around. Talk to your doctor today! "


Anemia Associated with Chronic Renal Failure

"5 years"


"Wonderful experience. 59 years old and the first pill was 100mg- I was 20 again. Very hard erection and I experienced great sex with my wife. Cost is expensive and my insurance did not cover. On the second try I cut the 2nd pill in half and had a great time. Felt the flushing but it was a mild after effect or symptom. I want to try a different erectile dysfunction medication. I take a statin and with age my erection was diminishing. With Viagra I get a very hard erection that lasts. "


"Super fast and the best to clearing pimples. So worth using! I always watch what products what I use on my face and I tried this cream and it was so fast at clearing breakouts and acne. It dried out the breakouts and surprisingly didn't break me out more. This product is so perfect! The 2 samples I had cleared my face within the week! It may dry out your face a bit, nothing extreme! Using it in the morning is best I think and also is okay to wear with your makeup over it."


"Update lost 7 lbs since 9/1/17"


"I have been taking this for a little over a month now. Not satisfied yet. I have had ALOT of spotting happening, I get cramps (of which was something I was trying to NOT get) which still causes me to take my pain medication, I also have had the worst acne I have ever had in my whole life. I have never had it this badly. If after 3 months nothing has changed. I will be done with this product and onto another. I have a wedding in a week and am sad to say this pill caused my skin to look like this. So much for flawless skin on my day and honeymoon."


"I have been off of my Vyvanse for 5 months now in a trade with my physician to help lose weight. I started out at 260. Each month my doctor would come up with an excuse to not put me on Phentermine. The other day she mentioned how this could not be taken along side with Vyvanse. I reminded her that I gave that up months ago in order to get something for weight loss. I have back injuries, require right hip replacement and double knee replacement. They said I was not a candidate for any replacements due to my weight, the weight I gained waiting for Phentermine. Now I weigh 319 and can barely get around. Thanks Doc!!! I pray this helps me!"


"It seems a lot of women are allergic to this or something because this worked for me and provided me relief from the bad itching. I'm finished with the 3rd use and have no more symptoms."


"The medicine was effective and I was beginning to see improvement in my nail after a few months, then started having painful redness, blisters, itching and swelling. It is miserable. I've stopped using it until all these side effects go away. I'm very disappointed in having to stop using Jublia as it was really beginning to get rid of the fungus. Before I knew what was causing these problems, I asked my dermatologist if it could be the medicine and he said he'd never had a patient to have these side effects using it. I found out on my own that it was the Jublia."


"After experiencing post-mastectomy nerve pain and post-chemo neuropathy, Cymbalta truly changed my quality of life."


"Vivarin for my hypersomnia worked better than taking amphetamines for wakefulness."


"Pain reduction with memory loss. I've been on Lyrica 4 yrs and take 450 mg a day for fibromyalgia, migraines, and nerve damage. Also on Fentanyl pain patch, Norco, and Flexeril daily for herniated discs C3-C7, T3, L1.  Lyrica significantly improves my pain and migraine recurrance; however, it is likely the cause of memory loss and slower thought process. I teach high school and college courses, am the parent of five young adults, and am sole breadwinner and insurance provider. I intend to reduce my Lyrica and pray I can manage increased pain better than memory loss or dementia, two common side effects of Lryica. Female, 53 yrs. Check Pfizer patient assistance programs on web to defray costs. I got free Lyrica when needed. No weight gain."


"Have been on alesse for over 12 years now. Started the pill because I had very painful and irregular periods. Since being on the pill I have been like clock work and have very light and much less painful periods. No mood swings to report or any other side effects. Although everyone is different, I have nothing but good things to say about this birth control."


"I have more headaches than usual and I am always bloated and hungry with non-stop cravings. The only good thing is that my periods go from light to barely there. I love that aspect. I never had any skin issues so that was not my concern. I take pills to regulate my cycle, which it does. But I can do without the headaches and weight gain."


"Since I'm on Zoloft I am calm and lovely person every day of every month. Before I was put on Zoloft every two weeks It was living hell for me and others around me  with my mood changes. I was fighting with everybody, crying. I was depressed and miserable."


"My only complaint is that my period has NOT ended and I'm on day 11.  Who wants to bleed for 11 days and counting?!  I'm going to my OB/GYN this week and will ask her to switch the pill.  I haven't had any other side effects; no cramps, no weight gain, no acne, just abnormal lengthy bleeding."


"I took this medication because I was diagnosed h1n1 type a via swab in nose. I tried to heL my self with homeopathic medicine unfortunately it did not work. I was prescribed tama flu in after the 2 pill day 2 I felt 75 percent better. No side affects for me so far and my body is super sensitive to meds. Glad I started taken this on day 3. It's very pricey but I'd rather pay that then feel as bad as I did."


"I was prescribed Exalgo by my physician about 3 weeks ago. I've been a long term pain management patient, and we decided to make a change. I had been taking Avinza. I am not certain that the mgs are equal, but the Exalgo doesn't come close to helping as much as the Avinza. I take as directed, each medicine is to be taken before bedtime, and since I have switched to Exalgo, there have been many sleepless nights. Maybe the dosage is not enough. This will be discussed with my physician. "


"I had a nervous breakdown last year. Thought death was imminent and I would go to hell. My psychiatric CNP would not prescribe benzos. I was completely terrified, like a 2 month long panic attack. Went to the ER twice. They gave me ativan and I felt blissful relief.  Right back to the terror the next day.  I have a prescribing psychologist now who would give it to me if I needed it. But finally got prescribed clonazepam. It was okay but not nearly as good as the ativan. I used it for a while until the morbid dread subsided, had no rebound problems. Maybe if I took it for months on end I would. But nothing but benzos worked for me."


"I suffer from migraines and also have difficulty falling and staying asleep.  Following. A sleep study my doctor put me on Zanaflex to help me fall asleep faster and reduced random leg movements during the night.  I took for it about a month and it really helped me sleep although I did have a groggy feeling in the morning that was hard to shake off.   However, it aggravated my migraines so that instead of getting them 2 or 3 times a year, I got a migraine every week during the month I was taking Zanaflex, so unfortunately I had to stop taking it."


"I was diagnosed with an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in my left parietal part of my brain in 2015 after I had a stroke at 21. I had it removed in 2016. I was on dilantin and it made me feel horrible. After my surgery in the hospital I had a seizure 3 times and they came in increments of 3. I was then put on Keppra with Dilatin. No good. My moods went crazy. Then they switched me to Lamical with a low dose of dilantin eventually weaning off of the dilantin. I was put on 400 mg of lamictal. Just recently I had a bad seizure and now they increased my does to 600mg. It is working but I feel very disconnected and spacey. Its helping with seizures but not liking the side effects. I am now looking into a device called Responsive neurostimulation (RSN). looking for alternatives but so far lamical works"


"I started taking Adipex-P on October 21, 2012. My starting weight was 267 and I'm a 5'2" 22 year old female. When I went back to the doctor 6 weeks later I weighed in at 247... so 20 lbs in 6 week. I almost started crying in the doctor's office. I have never in my life been told that I had lost a good amount of weight (maybe just a pound or two at checkups which probably had mostly to do with clothing or water weight). The second time I went back I weighted in at 231. Totaling 36lbs. All of which I wasn't exercising. I had dry mouth a lot and no interest in food what so ever. Now on my home scale about a month since weighing in last time I am down to about 225. 42lbs in 21 weeks =)"


"don't use this product it burns and continues to burn for days ....."


"I've been taking Necon 1/35 for almost 2 months now and so far I have experienced acne (which I've never had before), weight gain, Breast growth (I was already a double D Before), and crying spells. I think the worst is the weight gain and cryin spells. This medicine has helped tremendously with my irregular heavy periods though. I now have shorter periods and only once a month. I'm going to continue taking this for another month and then I may consult my doctor."


"I would not do without it.  It has helped me now for over 3 years along with Tramadol. I can hardly walk in the mornings but after I take my medicines I can walk, run, dance, etc. Like I said, I need the Celebrex in my life or I'm no good."


"I had been up all night coughing. I took only 2.5 ml of the syrup because I was nervous about codeine. It helped quite a bit. I didn't cough as much. However, I do have a headache in the morning, but it could be a reaction  to guaifenesin also."


"Didn't do a thing"


"ABSOLUTELY AMAZING; HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I almost chickened out after reading all these negative reviews.. but I'm entirely happy that I got the procedure done. It was quick, simple, and painless. I had bruising around the site for about a week, but it was nothing too noticeable. I was afraid of all the side effects and complications that were listed, but fortunately I did not experience any. If anything, I have been able to lose weight easier, and my mood has increased I feel great, and confident with myself."


"I found this pill at the start to be amazing and fit me to the best. But later discovered it is not for me.. I'm now switching pills to see if I can bring back my old self. I have taken YAZ for 14 months and am now taking my month which will make it 15 months. To say I'm tired is not the word and shifting weight is near impossible. I have exercised and dieted with nothing more than a pound gained or the scale not moving. I also have in between bleeding. After taking the 15th day  I am guaranteed brown discharge and then some spotting, which I shouldn't be getting. My period now as been the worse I have ever gotten in a long time."


"I had horrible mucositis during my first round of chemo. I was hospitalized for 30  days. Neutrasal mouth rinse has kept me from ever getting a big outbreak of those awful sores again. Neutrasal has been a "miracle" product for me."


"I suffer with chronic cluster headaches. I normally do not sleep more than two to three hours per night. My doctor decided we would try this medicine. I have only been on it for three days but it is the first three days in the past year that I have slept through the night."


"I had taken MTX in past but it did not work out  for me due to rash proplem caused by MTX so Doctor recommended Sulfasalazine and it worked out very good for about 4 years but the end of friendship came to us...Sulfasalazine was not effective anymore.   I met a Doctor who practice natrual madicine also ER Dortor at the local hospital....He recommended 3 natrual Supplements for RA and pain( Turmeric, Wobenzym N, White Willow) and they are very effective (on me) and it is better than Chemical based medications.   I have been off from those deadly medications for 5 months now."


"One pill left of 8 week treatment.  Get labs done on 8th of aug. It wasnt detected after 4 weeks still praying it will be non detectable.  I have had no side effects.  Thank GOD and harvoni."


"Diovan HCT has controlled my blood pressure for over 10 years.  Recently though my potassium has dropped, I've experienced atrial fibrillation and have noticed ringing in my ears.  Have gone to just Diovan and have dropped the diuretic."


"I've taken Levora, since I was 18, and am now 30. Not once have I noticed any issues except for a slight decrease in my sex drive. No weight gain, no cramps, very little mood swings(but that can be said for all, including men) my period lasts about three days and they are extremely light- to the point it can go unnoticed. I've also had unprotected sex for 11 years with the same man, and not once have I been pregnant, or even a close call. My period arrives at exactly the same time every month like clock work. It makes me feel like a normal human being. I might  have one day prior to staring my period, in which I feel a little funky; but it sure beats the alternative! I'd never switch, and if you're unsatisfied, try it!"


"Started on 5 mg Celexa about 7 months ago. Works great to take away most of my anxiety and irritability, still comes around sometime but on more normal means instead of every single day like I was miserable before I started on Celexa. Took a couple weeks to adjust to it and my orgasms are few and hard to achieve, but still possible, unlike other meds I've been on in the past. I love everything about Celexa, and would have given it a 10/10... however, I've gained 15 pounds since I started taking it. My diet and activity level has not changed so I'm assuming Celexa is to blame. This is now causing depression from the weight gain and the inability to keep it off... If you start Celexa, start exercising regularly to help maintain, wish I had..."


"I finally saw an ENT doctor for my "sinus condition" which he said was "classic" allergies and I should be tested, which I did, and was diagnosed with both indoor and outdoor perennial allergies.  The ENT gave me a couple nasal sprays to try and I decided on the Nasacort AQ and like it; it's effective and I don't get nose bleeds (which I did from Nasonex several years ago when it first came out and my primary care doctor suggested I try it; obviously I didn't stay with it). So now I'm getting allergy shots so hopefully in a few years I won't need any of these medications."


"I've tried this drug, got side effects, like restless legs. Loss of overall happiness, it doesn't feel like it provide anything"


"I had paragard place last March, 2016. I had cramps in between periods the whole time. And 6 months later I started getting anxiety/panic attacks. So bad that driving was difficult. I didn't realize it was my paragard until my physician ask what is making you feel this way? Any stress? Anything different. Then it dawned on me. My IUD was the only thing that was different. I personally don't recommend getting one. So happy I got it removed today. I already feel better and more importantly like myself again."


"I go to the gym late at night after work. I take a high stimulant pre workout powder prior to my workout which doesn't allow me to sleep till hours after my late night workout. Took 2 unisom pills and knocked out within 20 min. Good solid sleep"


"I have PCOS and I had gone without a period for 10 months. My doctor put me on Loestrin. I was extremely moody and emotional, crying over everything and very depressed, plus I was spotting and bleeding almost constantly. Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo is the second pill my doctor prescribed, and I am beyond happy with it. I don't even notice that I'm taking it. There are no mood changes, I have lost a little bit of weight and it has even helped with my Rosacea. My periods are coming around the same time every month, which is wonderful because I am finally able to know when to expect it, something that I have never been able to do. The only complaint I have is bad cramps, but they only happen in the first couple of days."


"I was given Lexapro about 11 days ago for my extreme anxiety. My situation is strange because this anxiety seemed to come out of no where and I was desperate for help. My doctor gave me Lexapro. I started feeling depressed, mainly because I saw that Lexapro is an antidepressant and my mind was playing tricks on me! Today I am feeling so much better and believe Lexapro has helped me. Only side effects have been a bit jittery and night sweats. If you are so desperate to get help for anxiety/depression WHO CARES about side effects. I recommend Lexapro and plan to stop taking it after being stable for a few months."


"As soon as this drug started working, I stayed in one constant mood of irritable-anxiety. I was a horrible person to be around and cried every single day. I was having hormone problems and this drug made my life go from bad to worse. I would never pollute my body with garbage like this again. Be careful, girls!"


"I was able to get eucrisa for $35 for a full 60 Gram tube...I was temporarily on Elidel which seem to help my frequent flare ups on my hands calm down.. it seems my exczema has gotten so much worse with a eucrisa. I have rash like bumps all over my hands intense itching and pain to the point where I don't even want to go to work and they felt like they were on fire.. I didn't know what to put on my hands to stop the intense itching so I went back to applying my sons triamcinolone cream to my hand and the pain went away within a half an hour . I'm really unsure if I want to continue using the eucrisa I have not noticed any Improvement in my skin I've been on it twice a day for at least a week"


"I've been on Adderall for about 4 years. I was having an extremely hard time focusing, extreme fatigue, general feeling of being lost and overly emotional and unstable. Adderall was an absolute miracle when I started on it. My trouble paying attention, loss of interest in life, constant sleepiness and emotional swings were gone. It made me genuinely happy and self confident for the first time in my life. "


"I have had bad back pain for decades L4/sciatic issue with bilateral neuropathy. Percocet takes the edge off the pain so that I remain a functioning member of society. I alternate with Vicodin every 4th month or so that way I do not increase the dosage. sounds strange but it works for me!"


"Very under rated medication.
I find it to be very helpful with other medications.
I do agree that it's not potent enough to treat severe anxiety, but it's very good for mild anxiety.
I'm on Methadone (opiate), and Clonazepam (benzodiazepine), and Hydroxyzine makes BOTH of those potent meds I take work A LOT better. It takes away the nausea and dizziness from my Methadone, takes away the negative side effects and adds to the positive. Same situation with my Clonazepam.
Hydroxyzine is an excellent medication."


"Hi all. Week 4 had load of 37 after from 3,000,000 plus. After week 12 nil.

However my important  one is in 3 months for cure.

However, i feel worse now than on harvoni. My joints hurt and am very emotional. Is this common."


"I've had migraines my entire life. This is the only thing that has helped me. I have taken birth controls for years. I only take one Fioricet per day when I feel a headache starting and I haven't had a "migraine" since I started this medication a couple of weeks ago. This is my miracle pill."


"At age 36, my acne started to come back after a stressful time. It was concentrated on my chin, and was relentless. New cysts every single day. My doctor prescribed Tretinoin cream plus an oral antibiotic (doxycycline). I was so nervous about starting because I read so much about it getting worse before it got better. But to my amazement, after just a few days I started to see drastic improvement. Not a single new pimple, the existing ones healed quickly, and scars are fading fast. I'm shocked (and extremely happy!) at how well this worked for me."


""Atarax" was prescribed to me in a "controlled environment." I was prescribed Klonopin originally, but the 0.5mg dosage wasn't enough for my anxiety and with the medication (Suboxone) I was currently taking there is a risk of taking Benzodiazepines while on Suboxone (like, death).
Anyway, Atarax was prescribed. I can't remember the dose now, I know it was more than 10mg, but it was 4-6 x daily as needed. It seemed to be working alright at first, but I think it was the controlled environment, when I left, it stopped working for my anxiety and panic attacks and has not had any useful effect since.
*Didn't experience any side effects"


"I'm a 60 year-old male and active tennis player that is almost bone-on-bone in both knees. My orthopedist has recommended replacements. I opted to try Euflexxa. I had both knees injected in April of 2013 and again 7 months later. Both procedures have given me amazing relief. My doc lowered my expectations on the first round, so I didn't have high hopes. I was more that pleasantly surprised! Without these shots, I would be facing immediate surgery. I endorse Euflexxa highly. I did learn a trick: Ice your knee(s) 30 minutes BEFORE the injection! I had close to zero injection pain as a result. Also, ice afterwards to reduce inflammation. Good luck all..."


"Hives after taking for 5 days, otherwise worked well at relieving pain"


"I'm 26 and have been addicted to Poppy tea for almost five years. Although I've only been on Suboxone for 3 weeks, I have to say it's really effective. I'm currently on 6mg and will be tapering to 4mg in a couple weeks time.

Any cravings I previously had for tea are completely gone, and it even decreased my desire for other things like Alcohol and Tobacco (though I only smoke when I drink).

"


"I took the first dose on a Friday after work.  That night I was awake all night with terrible leg cramps and an odd cramp in my midriff.  I took the second dose earlier in the afternoon the next day.  The cramp in my midriff returned.  I called the hospital where my doctor practices and the nurse practitioner from her office called me back.  She advised me not to take the Lasix anymore and to go to the ER if the cramping came back tonight.  My ankle is nearly normal size, but I am not sure it was worth it."


"My husband is a Vietnam veteran and has been on this for 15 years. In the last 5 years he has been kicking and punching and twitching in his sleep. He is now developing other signs of of neurological disorders. The doctor gave us a print out today and Luvox is a SSSR drug and they have recently found it causes Parkinsonism and when dosages are reduced or patient taken off this drug, the symptoms go. It works great for his depression, it helps reduce the symptons of PTSD but now his health is suffering from long term usage."


"This drug has saved my life.  I had a bad fall and laid for 20hrs before anyone found me.  I now have severe nerve damage in my legs and feet.  It helps the nerve pain definitely!"


"Terrific against mania, haven't had a manic episode in 2 years. Also with barely any manic symptoms. However, for me it's not great against depression but does help a little. It also helped with suicidal tendencies."


"Was on Gianvi for 2 months. Stopped taking it because it gave me mood swings, and caused me to break out more (which was the reason I wanted to take it in the first place). My sex drive was really low the first month, but it got back to normal. I had terrible cramps before, and this actually helped alot. I had an awful time tryin to concentrate on things, and over all it just made me feel crazy... :("


"By far the best birth control pill I've taken.

Periods are super light and cramping is minimal to none. No weight gain or bloating.

Best part for me is my insurance covers it for free! This has never happened for me.

Biggest downsides I've experienced are spotting if you are off by a few hours from your normal time and my mood swings are been considerable.  I've found myself to be a little more irrational and emotional. I've had a lot of stress, so I'm not sure if it's a direct effect of the pill, since no one else seems to be having mood swings."


"Earlier today I was just on this site reading review after review, worried sick about whether or not this worked. It did! This sounds dumb but we didn't technically have sex, but things got pretty serious so I of course got paranoid. I had missed a few days of my BC pill before this, and I started my period the day this happened. I took the pill around 40 hours later, and experienced no side effects. I also started a new pack of birth control the night I took plan b. I took 2 pregnancy tests today which were negative, and my period showed up a few hours ago (4 days late)"


"I suffer from recurrent UTI's.   As soon as I feel one creeping up I take one of these and the symptoms are much better in a few hours and gone within the day.  I take them twice a day for 7 days if I have an infection.   No side effects."


"I have been on DEPROVERA shot for about a year and a half. It works of course. But I have recently decided to quit with the shots because of the horrible side effects. I have headaches every single day. I just want to sleep and that's all I want to do. Im a very active person so that was easy to notice. Also, I get horrible shooting pains that is in my lower stomach and back."


"For lowering pressure the medication is very effective, however the side effects are a nightmare. I get tingling sensations everywhere, dehydration, increased urine, drowsiness. It doesn't help that I'm also a teenager who needs to concentrate on my studies so it's a miracle I managed to get through school recently."


"IF YOU WANT TO AVOID NAUSEA, HAVE YOUR DOCTOR TO PRESCRIBE A TABLET THAT YOU WILL TAKE 20 MINS PRIOR TO STARTING THE SUPREP%u2026IT WORKS WONDERS."


"I take Valium 2mg PRN for panic attacks. I was nervous about using it. I also had this warped idea that I would be labeled a pill head for taking a drug like Valium. I can honestly say that Valium is a life saver. The first time I took it all I could think about was how I regretted not taking it sooner. I can actually live my life now. You have to be careful though. It is very easy to build a tolerance to it. Use the lowest amount you need, because You would be surprised how much of a difference 1 mg will make. I have been trying to use it as a tool rather than a crutch. I also have ADD and Valium helps me fall asleep at night when I feel restless"


"Needed to use the remaining suppositories, due to itching and minor bleeding from hard stool. Noticed blood sugar rising about 40 pts now that I stopped using it, condition somewhat better and sugars are lower."


"I have had a cold sore outbreak 1-2 x/year for last 15 years usually during summer months (lower lip).  I had previously tried medicated lip applicators with little success. A friend suggested Zovirax.  I use it now at the first sign of tingling or hardness in the lip.  When I catch it early the severity of the outbreak has been greatly diminished.  I only use for 2 days and the sore has usually healed in about 10 days to 2 weeks."


"I have been on Lyza for 6 months. I got my period the first month after beginning, and have not seen it since. I was not having any side effects until recently I have been having very tender breasts, mood swings, and bloating. I have taken two home pregnancy tests and both came up negative. I have gained 5 pounds since beginning Lyza and I do like it, but not menstruating is scary, especially when other symptoms begin to show up, similar to pregnancy side effects."


"I had the most awful experience with Nexplanon. My period never stopped from the day it was inserted in my arm. I had intermittent arm pain. I had terrible mood swings. I gained weight, despite eating less and exercising more. Eventually I had to call my doctor and ask they remove it ASAP."


"I started taking Xyzal after a single episode of urticaria.  I have had hands tremors for 40 years, severe enough to interfere with my work as a nurse.  After 2 days, I noticed that the tremors were gone.  To verify it was linked to the medication, I stopped taking it, and after 2 days, my left hand started shaking again, so I restarted it.  It's been 3 weeks, and I am still free of any tremors."


"This product is amazing and is a great alternative to oral medicine. I am no longer embarrassed to where my flip flops. I have paid $80.00 in copays over a year."


"I used the vaginal gel and have to say it was very effective. It wasn't as messy as I expected. I did start bleeding heavily like a period. The bleeding lasted about the same amount of days as my normal period. I believe it was my period, just earlier than expected. Overall I would use this again if needed."


"I have used Tramadol for about 2 weeks for knee, lower back, leg & foot pain. It has been of slight to moderate help, but nothing to brag about.The main side effects were constipation and dry mouth. I had nausea the first 2 times, but didn't take with food. Have no nausea or lightheadedness when taken with food since then."


"I've had Hep c for 31 yrs, Genotype 2 , and today I just took my first pill .. Feeling hopeful to the side effects I've heard are minimal .. I will update you all in a few weeks . Thank you all for your opinions on this magical drug ."


"I believe myself to be very pain tolerant. I got one of these inserted, and it caused me so much pain I nearly passed out. Keep in mind, however, that I have never been pregnant before. If you have not been pregnant your uterus does not have as much elasticity. Also, my uterus was set back in a position that made for a difficult time for my gynee to get to it. (This happens when you have not been pregnant  sometimes) Nurse said she had never seen the gynee actually have to  utilize the ultrasound to insert it. 1 day after insertion, and now I am completely cramp free. Don't let the horror stories scare you.  Ease of use, cost (completely free), and effectiveness of this product is phenomenal. "


"It helps with nasal congestion better than other medicine. But it gave me  terrible headache and no sleeping all night. I stopped use it after 2 doses."


"I have been in pain for years. Surgery 17 years ago, I'm only 39, that has left my back a degenerating mess. I found the right doctor who explained my back scans, remarking that I should be in extreme pain ALWAYS. Yeah, it's gotten there. Robaxin to the rescue! So far it's great. I think I need more frequent dosing. 1500mg per day prescribed. I'm taking 2250 (3 pills). It makes me feel nausea, yet allows me to get to my new job and work without an embarrassing spasm. Mine are BAD, so this medicine is helping. "


"Been taking for 15 yrs. Started as antidepressant but also helps back pain and sleep."


"The condom broke on July 4th and we didn't realize it broke till after he finnished inside of me. I'm not on BC so we immediately went to the store to buy plan b one step and I took it within the hour of it happening. I did some research and I was in the time of ovulating. This made me really nervous that it could increase my chances of getting pregnant, but I knew that all I could do was wait and see what happens. Symptoms I experienced were tiredness, moodiness, bloating and very sensitive and sore breasts. Today I'm happy to say I GOT MY PERIOD!!! It was only 1 day late. I'm so relieved!!! My advice is don't wait, take the pill ASAP and let it do its work. DONT STRESS or think about it too much. Be positive & keep yourself busy."


"I've had the Mirena for 5 weeks now. I had to have two attempts at it but I do have a low pain threshold. Taking a pain killer didn't really help but the doctor used local anesthetic gel and holding my mums hand also helped lol. After the procedure I felt a huge weight lifted off me so I cried. Since then I've had cramps everyday, mainly late afternoon. My period started late and I've been bleeding for over 2 weeks now. Its very light but still annoying. I've had a very high sex drive since the first day of insertion. Also I noticed a weird odur but no infection present. Baths help and I add cider vinegar as its a natural antibac. I haven't gained any weight but it's been really hard for me to work out as I start to get bad cramps."


"I've been on the generic of Alesse called Alesyna for about 3 years. I put on over 20 pounds with this BC going from 107-130. I have terrible anxiety and extreme exhaustion. For preventing pregnancy, it worked, but I did NOT enjoy gaining so much weight."


"I started taking Loestrin20 three weeks ago and today, after seeing my doctor, I was forced to stop it.
From day one, I have been experiencing all sorts of awful side effects: numbness in all extremities and face, fainting, problems with breathing, headaches, weakness and dizziness to the point that I couldn't drive to work. I ended up in hospital, twice.
I never had issues in the past with birth control pills, but this one is not suitable for me, while thousands of women are fine taking it.
If you experience bad side effects, Please interrupt your treatment and see your doctor asap. Birth control pills shouldn't cause major side effects, and if they do it's a clear sign that you are at risk and must look for a better option!!"


"So far I have had none of the side effects they warn you about. Pain and swelling is reduced. The only downside is that is could take up to 16 weeks to receive the full benefits. Wish it worked quicker."


"I have been on a variety of medicines that never seemed to help me with anxiety. I have been taking 2mg of Klonopin 3 times a day for almost a year, and they have calmed me down tremendously. I was always anxious about everything, from bills to jobs to family...you name it. This medicine along with journal writing has also helped manage my anger problems too. I've tried to wean myself off of it several times, but I usually end up anxious and frustrated all over again. I just have to accept that Klonopin is now a part of my life for longer than expected. Two thumbs up!"


"Geodon has caused me to be very hostile."


"I've tried anything and everything for yeast infections as I get recurrent ones (not due to an underlying causes other than my vagina is moody) but terconazle is the best. I've tried boric acid, gentian violet, clotrimazole, diflucan.. all work OK but terconazole is the best IMO. The only downside is the first few days (I do the 7 days) it makes the itch worse, feels like a bunch of mosquito bites down there but it kicks the infection for a while and it makes me a little tingly. Doesn't cure it fully for me as my infections come back but I don't really have any side effects from it and it's cheap! Only $15 w/ insurance... plus I heard monistat BURNS so I've stayed far away from that."


"When I turned 50, I went in for a physical. The doctor noticed my hair was thinning and recommended Propecia. That was 14 years ago and today I have a very full head of hair, especially for a 64 yo.  Two issues, one it must be taken religiously. I take it at least  350+ times a year. Two, its not cheap. Generics are available on the internet. My brother was born 10 months before me. Physically, we are very similar. During our youth, our hair was almost identical. Today, he is balding, badly. Side affects. Shortly after I starting taking it, I DID have trouble getting an erection, but the problem went away after a number of weeks. I was thinking of quitting, but just wanted to give my body a little more time to adjust. And it did. No regrets"


"Best drug I have been on so far.

Has no side effects that I have found.

Doesn't make you feel sick or dizzy like other drugs have done for me."


"This prescription medicine does help the cough. However, expect the side effects as such described to hit home. I experienced all

of the less hazardous side effects. Best thing to do on this medicine is to be able to sleep it off. Says you can take with or with out food but like many medicines try to eat something lite. Not greasy as it can upset the stomach and then posible vomiting may take place. This is my own personal experience with this prescription and it can be different per person."


"After years on Lisinipril, it failed.  My cardiologist put me on several different medications before I was put on Azor.  Generics don't seem to work well for me and Azor works well.  My bp is lower than it's ever been.  My only complaint is the cost!  It's outragious.  What to do? It works."


"I have had anxiety since childhood. I never knew what it felt like to be without it until the first time I took Lexapro. It was amazing to feel "normal" for the first time. I had been on Zoloft and Prozac before and neither made me feel normal. I've had to quit Lexapro due to insurance at times and being without it is not something I ever want to do. I've tried Celexa and the generic forms as well but they come with sexual side effects. With Lexapro I have very little sexual effects. In fact, it seems to enhance orgasm for me. Initial side effects when starting it included very bad diarrhea for a week or two, but it goes away. I take 20mg which seems to be perfect. 10mg didn't do the trick. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot."


"This medication was the magic bullet for me anxiety wise and depression wise. I slept extremely well and my anxiety plummeted. I would have definitely stayed on it if it weren't for the atrocious weight gain! I am normally 110 lbs or so, and within 1.5 months was up to 130lbs! During this time I wasn't eating much more than normal and I was skateboarding, canoeing, and running yet still putting on weight. I was the happiest, yet the fattest I had EVER been on this drug, so it was love/hate relationship. I decided to go off of it because I couldn't tolerate the weight. Was a shame, since it was extremely effective for me otherwise. Oh well."


"I have been on Mobic since 2000.  I have asked about new medications (which we now have 2 new came out in 2009) but the side effects is a real concern for me.

I have not had a good experience with Mobic.  It does get me through the day but my pain increases every month.  I am at the point now that it is really affecting my personal life with my husband and he really does not understand the extent of the pain.

I need a drug without harmful side effects.  I want to protect my liver as much as possible.  Please come up with a drug for fibromyalgia.  I would hate to know that I have to live on pain pills the rest of my life."


"I have been on about 100 mg. of dexedrine for over 20 years and it always worked great until a few years ago, when my drug company stopped sending me the TEVA generic. I never had problems with generics before but the Activis brand did nothing for me. I was told that TEVA was made by the same drug manufacturer that makes the name brand so I payed extra for the name brand and that does not appear to be working either. I have been told that TEVA no longer makes dexedrine so I am not sure what I should do. Also, I was told that the FDA no longer allows doses over 60 mg. but I am sure that is true. It could be my insurance company does not want to pay for more than a standard dose."


"I would feel focused but always tired and the worst stomach pain for me personally."


"I have been taking linzess for a few months now. I have diarrhea almost every day which most times leads to accidents. I went to my GI specialist and she suggested i take IB Gard to help with the diarrhea. I am tired of having diarrhea every day and not knowing when its gonna come. I go to work and I still have accidents at work it's embarrassing and disgusting. I have not have any help with bloating or stomach pain. I was on 145 of linzess but that didn't work very well so the doctor put me on 290 it just makes me feel miserable."


"The Mirena works great for most people. I am not one of them. My hair came out in clumps in the shower. I had the Mirena for 2 years and gained 15lbs. I've never had an issue with weight and always have had a very fast metabolism. I figured my metabolism was slowing down (Mid-twenties), and that I would need to eat better and exercise. I got my Mirena removed exactly one week ago and have lost 6lbs and have changed absolutely nothing! All the weight I gained with Mirena seemed to go to my stomach. I looked 3-4 months pregnant everyday. My depression got worse. I was so out of energy everyday. I was itching my skin off everyday - pretty sure I had a combo of hives and eczema. Feeling better, skin's clearing and weight's down."


"I recently had an attack while on a commerical airplane. I always loved to fly and travel, this scared the wits out of me.  I felt like I was going out of my mind. I needed to be off that plane and there was no place to go.  I talked to my doctor and they prescribed Lexapro and Xanax. Xanax helps in social situations, I always feel like I am being judged or watched, which is very uncomfortable.  I am still scared to fly.  "


"Didn't taste bad at all. You just have to take it!. Did give me diarrhea though."


"Works great."


"I had been a smoker for 27 years off and on; mostly on.  In 2008, I decided to use Chantix.  It has been 4 1/2 years and no more smoking! I never realized how much smoking dictates to your life. I feel free!"


"I've tried over 13 medications for anxiety and none have worked not even the popular benzodiazepines. I tried 100mg of Tramadol and I felt the weight lifted from me. I felt like I could breath easier and relaxed.  It's the only thing that has worked. I'm looking for a doctor now who has experience with long term use or perhaps a doctor that can recommend a medication knowing that Tramadol works for me."

"I get migraine and have found out by taking everything from prescription and over the counter medication that Excedrin was the only one that really worked. Now I can%u2019t find them in any store."


"Atrial fibrillation started about 2 years ago. Tried a variety of beta blockers and anti-arrhythmics without success. Was put on low dose of metoprolol and flecainide four months ago. Not a single incident since.  Very minor side effects at first, but none now.  Life is so much better."


"This prescription helped with my blood pressure immensely but had my legs and ankles really swollen all the time. I asked my doctor to take me off and he did. Her prescribed me another medication and it's working fine. Thank God I don't have the swelling of my legs and ankles and scraggly actually can walk or exercise with no discomfort."


"Abreva used to work for me, but the last couple of times I've used it.. it seemed liked it didn't do anything to help supress the sore.. this time my sore keeps getting bigger and bigger!  I started applying as soon as I felt the sore coming on and it just didn't help at all!  Same thing the last time."


"In 2 weeks my triglycerides dropped 700 points from 990 to 260 and cholesterol dropped 100 points from 310 to 215.  My HDL increased 8 points from 30 to 38.  No side effects so far.  I hope it continues like this."


"I am weary of medication so I only took two tylenol before the procedure. It was uncomfortable, with two quick sharper pinches and over. I did get dizzy but was able to stand up, walk and drive home afterwards. I planned on working the next day but had to stay home due to bad cramping....on par with a very bad period. I switched to aleve from tylenol and that made all the difference. The cramping subsided over the next few days ( I went on a long run on day 3) but skinny jeans bothered me a bit. Now a month in I got my first period/spotting episode. More anything else as its lingering longer than usual. Overall getting it so far was way worth it. Mood is great, no headaches, no anxiety and no weight gain and we can't feel it."


"I made the first review in December 2014.  Since there is no dataset for long-term use of triumeq, I thought I'd drop back in for an update.  I am exceptionally pleased with this medication.  I have no side effects, VL is still undetectable, and CD4 is steady.  Triumeq is great!"


"I have used Flexeril for back pain but took one the other night because I had a migraine and couldn't sleep. I've never had relief from any migraine so I was amazed when after about 2 1/2 hours I got out of bed and felt OK to move around. After another hour or two I was feeling drowsy so ended up going to bed but I was happy to discover that Flexeril helped my migraine. It does make me VERY sleepy so I only take it when I don't have much to do the next day. I usually feel lethargic the day after."


"The suprep drink was effective. So effective I was running to the bathroom every 5 minutes for over 4 hours. I'm 29 years old and had my first colonoscopy and endoscopy for abdominal pain. I was so nervous to have this procedure because I heard the prep was awful! After experiencing it firsthand, I have to agree - it was. The drink was terrible. I somehow managed to get the first one down, but when it came time to drink the second one the following morning I puked half of it up. Like someone below said - it was a cherry saltwater hell. I was laying on the floor in my bathroom with the chills. It was probably a combination of no food in my system and drinking the suprep. I hope I never have to drink this stuff again. Ever."


"I started using phentermine 7/17/10. My starting weight was 235lbs. It took me a year to get to 235 from 248. I find that ridiculous... a year to lose 13 pounds. So as of today (wk 5) I am down to 216lbs. I love having to remind myself to eat instead of eating just because I feel like it or out of boredom. I do cardio for 35 min 5 days/week plus warm up/cool down walk for 10 min. I have a 1300 calorie per day limit but I stay well below due to having no appetite."


"I have been having severe back and neck pain for years and was taking ibuprofen 24 hours a day. My doctor told me that was very bad for my stomach and to use the Voltaren Gel instead and I found it to be wonderful, comfortable and it smells nice. Two days after I started using the Voltaren Gel I was so much more comfortable and now I alternate the ibuprofen 200 with the Gel and only use the Ibuprofen 200 two times a day. I can sleep a whole night. My back condition is in the muscles and and they are in spasm much of the time. Voltaren calms the spasms down and makes the pain tolerable. I am so glad to have found it."


"Physicians are way too excited about Linzess.  It definitely does not work for everyone and not exactly as indicated.  The first three days I took it were fine.  Then no effect for two days.  Then incredible pain.  I asked the doctor if I could try a lower dose.  Was advised to take it at bedtime!?  Definitely not a good idea when part of the problem was extreme diarrhea.  Quit taking it for two weeks.  Went back and tried one tablet.  Dizziness, wobbly, weakness, malaise.

Does it treat constipation, yes.  But it is a guanylate cyclase agonist , so, of course, it has systemic effects.

When are too many side effects too much to even put a drug on the market?"


"I was prescribed Augmentin for a sinus infection. Worst medication experience of my life. I never get headaches, and after just three doses I had the worst headaches. My head throbbed. I couldn't sleep. My vision was impaired. I had excruciating stomach pains. I was far sicker than I was prior to going to the doctor. I will never take this horrible medication again. Beware of the side effects if you do."


"Are these outlandish reviews of whole years being forgotten solely due to Venlafaxine, actually serious? That seems ridiculously unrealistic.

I am on 225mg per day and if I'm late taking a dose I get the weird zaps and dizziness etc. But it does do a pretty good job on very severe anxiety and depression.

Coming off it will be hard but I have been recommended a good 3-month plan for it.

I have noticed that not all actual packs of tablets are as good as others though, I don't know how this can be!?"


"I gave this medicine a 5 but not sure how fair I'm being! I started out on the patch with limited results and then after a month I began the gel. So far the only good part about this is, the women love the smell! I have gained muscle mass but I've been hitting the gym but there has been no change in my sex drive, it's still very low! My appetite has not increased like I was hoping. It's been a month on the gel now and I don't know if it's too soon to comment on this particular medication but if I see significant improvements I'll be sure to up date."


"I have had Implanon for a year now. I liked it at first because I was living with my boyfriend at the time and it avoided pregnancy but after having it for a few months I gained 20 pounds! I was 110 now I'm 130lbs. I want to get it removed asap and hopefully go back to my regular weight. I also experienced crazy mood swings. It's great to take if you want to avoid pregnancy and to avoid the pill and other annoying birth control but I would suggest sticking to condoms."


"So, after having the implant for 8 years. Yes that's right, I've been crazy enough to have this 3 times. was fine at first. Then I started getting depressed, gained 7 stone throughout the years I have had it (on and off by dieting), depressed, unmotivated, tearful, low sex drive, acne, I've got severe acne scarring on my back, face and chest and even feeling suicidal at times and constant, heavy painful periods. The only reason I have had it as long as I have is because I heard horror stories about other forms, and I am forgetful so pill is not suitable. I've decided to pluck up the courage to get the IUD and finally say goodbye. THANK GOD! Can finally get my life back hopefully!"


"Cipro did not help in healing bronchitis. Taking this med set me back 10 days. Wasted time for this type infection."


"I do not obsess over alcohol like I used to. On occasion when I have wanted a glass of wine, I take it approximately an hour prior and can actually drink like a normal person (1-2 glasses vs. 1-2 bottles).  This medication is a God send."


"While Rozerem is effective for getting and staying asleep, I am spaced out the next day with a strange feeling that, even though my body has had a good night rest, I still want to go take a nap at periods through the day - not a normal tiredness, but a drug induced grogginess that comes on suddenly.  Also, hard to focus my attention the next day.  I went on this because Ambien gave me short term memory loss though I had no grogginess the next day on Ambien.  The best result for me is to just sleep naturally with whatever hours I can get."


"Switched from Soma after 4 years, love this new drug, no feeling loopy, can manage my day and feel great."


"I took this a year ago BEFORE bedtime like the instructions tell you, I woke up in the morning with successful bad cramps in my lower stomach, I got up to go the bathroom luckily my husband followed me thinking it was strange & the pain was that painful I fainted.
Yesterday I was super bloated I had so much gas for hours no idea why & had been toilet few times in the day, then before bed I decided to take 1 tablet to help shift more gas in the night. Woke up at 6am felt fine then about 8am the pains came not as painful as last time but they weren't as bad I would past wind & then suddenly I had to run to the toilet & sit there with the pain like as if everything was moving around the intestines & then it was like sand. It worked but hurts."


"I had a social phobia for a long time with a rapid out of control heart beat, its a big difference since I started taking this medicine, anxiety is a lot less, and more out going with the public and less fear, but the only side effect that I'm not comfortable with is delayed ejaculation."


"I have been taking phentermine for 3 weeks, and have lost 10-15 lbs. It has increased my energy level substantially.  I went off of it for 3 days and saw a little bit of a difference with my appetite and energy, but also had tubal ligation during that period.  I have not noticed any side effect last longer than a few days. Great appetite suppresant."


"Doctor gave me a sample and a prescription of this to try. I have used Treximet with great results, but it took too long for the medicine to into my system to counter the migraine. The Sumavel works GREAT, HOWEVER it does hurt. The initial injection is painful. I was left with a welt and a tender spot for hours afterwards. The injection pain is well worth the relief. I do get the burning sensation at the bottom of my brain stem 30 seconds after the injection and feel very weak. This is all normal as I got the same feeling when I start Treximet. Luckily my insurance company covers it."


"The Watson patches work well and stick. The Mylan patches are garbage. They do not stick and deliver no relief."


"I am suffering with, swelling in right leg ankle, but however, there is no pain. I was prescribed 200 mg of this capsule, to be taken twice a day by my doctor.  Took the dosage as prescribed by the doctor for two days, and noticed light-headedness, palpation and difficulty in remembering."


"I went on doxycycline for about 3 months (started at 150mg and slowly went down to 50 mg in the last month) and paired it with finacea topical cream at night. While my skin cleared up beautifully for those 3 months, my cystic acne came back even worse than before once I got off of the pills. Now I'm about to start accutane because my skin got so bad after it"


"I was on roxicodone30 270 and lortab10 200 for severe low back and neck pain. I asked my doctor to take me off the lortabs and give me methadone for the breakthrough pain. I now take roxicodone and methadone for the breakthrough pain and am almost pain free."


"I got this about two months ago, and have not stopped bleeding since. It's been great, as far as not gaining any weight and my skin actually clearing up, but seriously? I've been having a full on period for 6 weeks now! I went in and my doctor didn't know what was wrong because "this is the first time she has seen it" So I am a little frustrated with how this is being handled. All I want to do is not bleed! Has anyone else had this problem?"


"First outbreak was HORRIBLE. Once I got Valtrex in my system, the outbreak cleared up within two days. Lysine helps prevent outbreaks and is for immune health. Has been working well for me and haven't had any real problems since first outbreak."


"Very bad acid reflux and anxiety."


"I had fixation surgery with 10 screws in my fibula last week.  The medicine is great for pain.  However, make sure to eat before taking it, and get ready for the occasional blurred vision."

"Acne, acne scars, blemishes, etc. I've been suffering from acne since I was 16 years old. I used to put on cheap products from Walgreens or CVS.  When I turned 22 my acne became worse. I suffered from cystic acne. I went to a dermatologist for low income students and she prescribed Tretinoin (she started with a lower percentage) My acne disappeared in 8 months. I've been using this Tretinoin for 11 months (0.05) and I don't have to wear make up anymore!

I also alternate and use Proactiv but ONLY the  I wash my face with a cheaper brand from CVS that has Benzoyl Perixide 10% Then, the pore targetting treatment. Last step (moisturize)

Moisturize before and after the medication for better results.

Be patient :) Don't touch your face!"


"I had acne for 7 years. By senior year of high school, I couldn't take it anymore. I went to a dermatologist and he prescribed minocycline to me. I was afraid of the initial breakout, but it wasn't bad whatsoever! My acne cleared up sooooooo much. My skin was clear by the second week! It got rid of ALL of my blackheads. I took it for about 5  months. It's been 6 months since I stopped, and I still get small breakouts, but it's nothing like the acne I had before it. I love minocycline. While I was on it I looked prettier, my hair looked healthier, my skin wasn't oily, just everything about me felt and looked better. It gave me a yeast infection, but I ate yogurt...a LOT of yogurt, and that got rid of it right away."


"I won't say don't stress, because its inevitable and all I did for the last 2 weeks was google, google, and GOOGLE. On august 4th, I had sex with my boyfriend and it got carried away really quick, he came inside of me with no protection (stupid, I know) and he said he thought pulled out, but I was leaking heavily with his semen. We went to the drugstore 3 hours later and got plan b. I took it right away and the only side effects were nausea and bloating. I woke up today and felt really off, so I went to the bathroom and I have never been more happier to know that my underwear was bright red and filled with blood. My period was supposed to arrive on the 17th but its early. (: be calm and let the pill do its job! I promise you'll be okay!"


"This is the first pack for Trinessa. I was on Ortho Tri Cyclin Orange since my 6 week appointment after I had my 3rd baby, (so about July is when my appt. was) and my insurance just now made me switch to Trinessa. I don't think I like it. Since taking it, I have constantly felt like I got a lump in my throat and my diaphragm area and decreased my appetite, so I'd put that in the nausea category. I just don't know if I should just wait it out, or call my OB office and ask them for something different or what. I mean I'm only going to be on this til like Dec. or Jan., because me and my fiance would like 1 more, and wanted to wait til our baby is at least 18 months before we tried again. Then after that baby is born, I'm going on the Depo."
