"I have PTSD , Anxiety, and a TBI last night before bed 10 pm I took a 15 mg pill fell a sleep within a hour woke up a half hour later soaking wet from my night sweats and took a shower I was a zombie I know I took a shower but don't really recall what happened. I woke up this morning around 8 am which is not me I'm usually up by 6 am. I had to go back to sleep cause I couldn't wake up for anything I felt like I over did it with cold meds or sleeping meds -  the lights were on but nobody was home. Then I slept till 11am and finally forced myself awake still a zombie. I knew I needed to eat food then I learned my taste buds are pretty much gone. Had Cereal and a Burger can't taste anything. Drank a Rockstar and still tired as hell."


"It works for me - long story short I'm going for my second shot on the 21st of this month"


"I used the strawberry flavored milk of magnesia at 17 weeks pregnancy after having been constipated for about three weeks or so. Never do anything silly like take an unreasonable amount more than the recommended dose--like someone mentioned drinking half a bottle. Anyway, I called in a sick day with work due to hurting belly and took a medicine capful at 2am. It's 8:35 now and I've successfully discharged the problem around 30 minutes ago. Remembering my grandmother giving me this in childhood reminded me that it definitely works, don't overdo it! It's a safe option for pregnancy and also it works."


"After reading the negative reviews of implanon I will admit that I was slightly nervous to get the birth control. After comparing it to the other options I decided it was probably my best bet, due to the fact I struggle remembering to take a pill every day at the same time. I would have to say this is one of the best decisions I have ever made! There is absolutely no pain when you get Implanon inserted and it is one of the quickest things I have ever had done! Implanon is very convenient and effective. I have not experienced many negative side effects from the birth control. In fact, I have actually lost weight after starting it. The only side effects I have noticed is that my menstrual cramps have increased slightly. Definitely worth it!"


"Been on belviq for a week now. Appetite has seriously changed. I basically eat cause I know I have to eat. I have NOT suffered from headaches like I did the first 2-3 days. Have not yet weighed myself but my starting weight was 187 lbs!! Will weigh when I finish my first months med.
I only was prescribed one per day so I take it around noon and it lasts me the entire day. I haven't been going to the gym yet but will restart again next week. I definitely notice a change in how my clothes fit I strongly recommend belviq to EVERYBODY."


"I am prone to UTI's and never had a problem with this drug before.  Took my 2 doses on the first day, with what I thought was no problem woke up on day 2 vomiting.  Around 11am I tried a piece of toast, and took my 3rd dose with that. I was then okay til about 4:30, when I was sick again.  I have skipped doses 4 and 5 and am waiting to hear from the doctor about calling in a different prescription.  "


"I was prescribed Keflex for an infection that occurred after root canal went bad. Evidently the previous dentist had not been able to successfully remove all of the nerve and pulp and over time an infection resulted.

Keflex was well tolerated by me and helped to reduce the swelling within the gum until I was able to have a root canal retreatment in order to remove the rest of the nerve and pulp.

The rating that I provided is due to the fact that this medication required 4 doses daily which I felt there must have been some other medication available that required less commitment. Still, it did work and I would take it again if prescribed."


"The pill helps regulate my period and I know when to always expect it. I do not get any mood swings or nausea. I started going on the pill because my period was irregular. I would get my period twice in one month with excruciating pain. Once I began the pill the pain stopped and my period is normal."


"I have struggled with weight loss for years.  Food cravings are one of my "symptoms."  Topamax really did help with this, however my energy and memory are not what they use to be.  Originally I thought it was a trade off I could adjust to but the fuzzy memory for me is frustrating.  I sometimes say words that I am thinking about and don't even realize it.  Then argue that I didn't say it, only to find out I did. Silly, but worth revisitng my physician about.  I struggle with the same 10-20 lbs but won't give up. I would recommend trying it to people who are serious about weight loss.  It helps you push your plate away and not obsess about food.  That was an experience I had never had before, but I need my memory."


"It took a few weeks, but I feel so much better. I felt like I was stuck on the bottom of a seesaw and couldn't balance out my mood.  I couldn't handle my rage over the smallest things. I would wake up and couldn't shut off my brain. Now I'm sleeping better, I wake up in a normal mood and no longer "sweat the small stuff." In addition, I am getting along much better with my family and friends. Let's just say I am better to be around.  Don't worry about the side effects. I stayed away from Zoloft for a long time because I had anxiety about the side effects. Guess what? No side effects! Just a better life."


"I have experienced awful side effects. Nausea, dizzy, dried out sinuses, nose bleeds, lightheadedness, and migraines like no other. Did help with allergies but not worth it!"


"I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Soon after I had a cold and started taking Mucinex to clear out my sinuses. Not only did my sinuses feel good but I noticed that in general I felt amazing. My body just didn't hurt like it had been hurting for the past few months. So I got online and typed in Mucinex... low and behold the first thing that popped up was using mucinex as a treatment for fibromyalgia ... crazy. I had no idea... so for those of you speculating that it may be a placebo effect ..believe me I felt the difference without knowing that others have used it as a therapy.... it works wonders!"


"I recently started on Biaxin. My doctor prescribed it for my bronchitis and sinus infection. The antibiotic works great, after about a day of taking it I felt a million times better. It's a really strong antibiotic though which has caused some awful side effects including bad taste in mouth, nervousness and upset stomach /nausea . If you have to take this I suggest eating before taking it and carrying around mints for the taste in mouth. Good luck!"


"The first couple months I was on this, it was perfect. It regulated me as I never really had a regular cycle maybe 4 times per year. Then I became so emotional, constantly crying and depressed. As prior to taking this I would've never let anyone se me cry. I had increased anxiety. I also had went from hardly any periods to 2 periods per pack. I guess it was thought as me making up for lost time. I never had any trouble with acne, a few breakouts before my cycle but very minimal. No weight gain."


"So far Zoloft has proven to be very helpful. I gave it the rating I did because it's only been two weeks on it. I have had 2 panic attacks today but so far so good. The Zoloft did keep them from going full blown. It's like I just all of a sudden began to calm down. I still feel a little anxious but I definitely have energy now. I started out on 25mg and then increased to 50mg the following week. I do have excessive yawning and some fatigue but overall this medicine is awesome. The doctors decided to try me on this because one day I just woke up and began to have panic attacks and they continually got worse. I was on Celexa 20mg which didn't help at all with anxiety. The reviews on this page definitely gives me hope to continue using  this."


"49 yo female with post traumatic stress disorder..severe anxiety, crazy obsessive compulsive thoughts...led to depression. Started at 50 mg, start ups were horrible increased anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder, night sweats, waking up in a panic when I could sleep, lethargic, feeling stoned and like a walking zombie....skin was hot and tingley shaking on the inside. Feeling flat and NO motivation to even brush my teeth. Went down to 25mg for a few days and now back to 50mg. On day 11 now and most of the depression has lifted. OCD isn't as bad, its more controllable, anxiety still there a bit. If this is the beginning of the future I'm happy. It was worth the initial start! Can see the light at the end of this dark tunnel and I feel a bit free now."


"I have had an overall great experience with this iud. I actually had one placed ten years ago and just recently had it replaced. This has been a very effective birth control. I can't have added hormones so it was either this or condoms ten years ago and I'm glad I chose this."


"I'm in 9th grade, I've had hyperhidrosis since I was in 5th grade. My doctor gave me this and I tried it for 2 months now and it DOES NOT work for me. I was really disappointed.I don't know what to do."


"I've been on the Nuva ring now for two years. I personally love it ! It's so much easier to use than having to take a pill everyday. I used to have a 7 day period and now it's 3 full days and 2 spotting days. I used to get horrible side effects from the pill but the only negative side effect from the Nuva ring is that about 2 weeks out of the month I don't have really any sex drive but I'll take that over acting like a lunatic and not even getting to have sex cause I scared my partner off haha. Hope this helps !"


"I decided to get the implant after I stopped using the depo shot. The worst part of the insertion is the numbing shot, it felt as if my arm was on fire but that went away quick. The healing process isn't bad at all. There will be scaring but it's not bad either. I've had the implant for 2 years now, and my complaint list is minimal, yes it prevents pregnancy but the irregular periods and spotting are very annoying because you never know when it's going to happen, it's always a suprise and very inconvenient. But if you can look past the spotting and irregular periods that come and go as they please, this is the BC for you. I will be sticking it out for another year just for the fact of its great for preventing pregnancy, but changing BC soon"


"Had large cyst on chest and back that I had to have them removed. Kept getting flare ups around bikini area. Started using Solodyn and the flare ups stopped immediately. Heard it was expensive but doctor gave me a card for free month trial."


"I have been feeling weird for a few days and did not know that It might be because of taking Metronidazole. It is good to know that I am not the only one feeling such symptoms. My body aches, hearth palpitation, numbness in my face and hands, extremely fatigue, loss of appetite. I was prescribed for 14 days and I still have five more days. Definitely feeling better in terms of my infection, but having these symptoms is overwhelming."


"Lyrica made me a zombie. I could just sit and flip channels on the TV or stare off into space. If it helped the neuropathy I did not notice. Stopped taking it after one week and the Doctor put me back on Neurontin. Neurontin does not help so much with the pain in my feet and legs but at least I can function."


"I was prescribed this medication for a post nasal drip I've had for several weeks. I hate it. It only lasts 2-3 hrs the first couple times you take it, then it only lasts maybe an hour, now I'm up coughing worse than before, googling if I can take more than prescribed. Do not do that. I have 200 mg 3 x as needed. I have a terrible headache and my ribs are killing me. On top of that I pee a little every time I cough which is just wonderful seeing I have to work tomorrow. I'm discontinuing and calling my doc first thing in the morning."


"I started taking this because my cycle was every 23 days and I heard that it could help with acne too.  I never had bad acne just one or two on my chin the week prior to my period.  But after taking this my acne is worse than it has ever been.  I've been getting cystic acne all over my cheeks and chin.  And the worst part is that they severely scarred my skin and I never scarred before taking birth control.  I've heard that in the first few months it can get worse before it gets better but I'm on my 9th month and it just continues to get worse.  But I do like that it completely regulated my period to a 28 day cycle.  I've decided to switch to a lower hormone birth control to see if that will help the acne subside."


"I have been on it for three days and although I have urges the possible effects of taking a drink far outweigh the urges. This is a drug I would recommend for any alcoholic trying to get help. This pill and regular AA meetings are the combination that is helping me. I have been sober for 8 days now. Was in hospital for the first 5 days to detox."


"It has been a miricale!! I have been on several medications and nothing has helped. I have continued to bounce from depression to mania, with little sleep. I've been on this medication for five days WOW is all I can say. I feel wonderful. I'm sleeping again. No racy thoughts, none of the symptoms that I suffer from. I just hope it last. The cost is a problem but the company is working on helping me with that!!"


"My Dr had put me on opana 60 mg twice daily Along with oxymorphone 10mg for breakthrough pain. This did work beautiful. Unfortunately, my insurance changed, and I was put on oxycontin ER and oxycodone. This combo never worked as well the prior medication regime I was on. Even when I increased the amount I was taking on my own, it never fully Took the pain away. He decided after a year or so, to put me on levorphanol and oxycodone for breakthrough pain. The levorphanol works ALOT better than the oxycontin still. Levorphanol must be sent through the mail to PA, as it's not carried in this state and MOST pharmacist have never heard of it. It's called the forgotten opioid. Opana Works great for TRUE spinal cord Pain. No high.. Great relief!"


"Took Plan B 14 hrs after unprotected sex & the 3rd day of just starting birth control pill (suppose to use a backup method the 1st week). Right after I took it I felt a little nauseous, but it wasn't unbearable. My period wasn't due for another 3 weeks (took birth control regularly leading up). Kept getting abdomen pain & I was very tired on random days throughout the 3 weeks. Thankfully got my period the day I was expecting to! So thankful there is a pill for when mistakes are made!"


"I typically don't get cold sores. I've only had 3-4 in my whole life, and they began when I was 25 years old. I get them every 1-2 years. I chose to use Abreva because it alleviates the pain, and is supposed to help with healing time. The Abreva in the US now comes in a pump form, and is much more liquid than the original. Abreva never cured my fever blisters in the 2.5 days they say it can, but it did used to help. This time, it exacerbated my blister, and it is HUGE! It has not spread like the other reviews have stated, but it's larger than normal, and I can only imagine that it's the Abreva I've been using 5-8 times a day. Do not use this product. It either doesn't work, or it makes it worse. Both are bad scenarios. Use vanilla extract."


"This medication saved my life. Tried several different medicines over 10 years and none have worked better than Risperdal. I take escitalopram as well and have seen fantastic results. If I miss a dose I can tell very quickly within a few days as I don't sleep and feel really agitated and angry at the least little thing. Really helped control my mood swings and this combination has been great for me."


"I actually felt more of an appetite. It didn't work for me."


"I have been taking this for 3 months and still have leaking. I feel like I have to really go then only dribble. "


"I was put on this medicine just 6 days ago and I feel great!  Slight headaches and had nausea last night, but my most persistent symptoms are GONE! My fasting blood sugar would always creep overnight to 110 to 120 range.  After my first meal blood sugar would come under control depending on what I ate.

Now on Victoza I have seen a fasting blood sugar in the 85 to 105 range this week.  As an added bonus I lost 6 pounds in six days.  Hopefully the long term prospects are as favorable as the short term ones have been."


"I started Tri-Sprintec 4 months ago. My biggest fear was weight gain. I have a history of an eating disorder (not fully recovered, but better), so needless to say I was petrified of hormonal birth control and all the horror stories that came along with it. The first month was awful. I'd wake up either really nauseous or starving. There were 2 days where I felt so sick I actually had to call off work. Crackers did seem to help though, if you get this side effect treat it as if you had morning sickness. I also take my pills at night instead of the morning. There were also some days I was a total b!tch, but that could also just be my personality. As for weight gain, absolutely NONE. In fact, I lost weight when I watched my calories and exercised, so the pills had no effect on my metabolism. By the 3rd and 4th month all side effects had pretty much vanished, and to be honest I don't remember the last time I had to pop a pimple. It's great! "


"Been on Lexapro and almost all other SSRI and then fluvoxamine (faverin) It was good while it worked, but only for managing anxiety, it never stopped my compulsive thoghting, after 4 years I began to experience severe eye pain and pressure, I've contaced an ophthalmologist and he gave me eye drops, I don't know if the med was the problem, but I read online that it can cause this to some people. I'm now on 25 mg on my path to gradually stopping it."


"I took this weighing 145 lbs and 5'6". Took My Way, not expiring till 2017, within three hours of sex. I read that over 165lbs it becomes less effective but apparently 145lbs is in the less effective range too, I am now 8 weeks pregnant. Beware."


"My blood pressure was rather steep--like WAY too high as a rule, hypertension-started taking Lisinopril 40MG, once a day. I literally didn't feel a change physically, yet my readings now never go beyond 130/90, usually lower. I'm pleased with this medicine! This is great news for someone like me. I've gone through two cerebral aneurysms in the past (I wasn't on any medicines then), now I'm on lisinopril 40MG and happy to take it."


"I have been STRUGGLING immensely from dizziness, feeling off balance, light headed, & vertigo for over a MONTH now!! So bad it landed me in the ER and I've been off work. I read about Meclizine and asked my Doctor to prescribe me some. I was hesitant to take it at first since the drowsiness side effect. I held off for a few days. Finally took some yesterday (25 mg, took 2/day). Woke up today and for the first time I can stand up without feeling like I'm going to fall!! I am still not 100% but this definitely did help with the dizziness and spinning!!"


"Used tamiflu when needed for 3 years miracle drug and I'm glad to say I 've had no side effects up to now"


"My Tryglicerides and LDL Cholesterol have improved significantly.  My dry eyes have also improved significantly while on Vascepa.  I highly recommend Vascepa. I feel happy and healthy knowing Vascepa is helping me with my cardiovascular health.  I feel like it is money well spent to improve my health."


"I switched from Junel Fe to Aviane and I regret it. This pill made me break out horribly! Avoid this pill!"


"I have been taking Ortho Tricyclen lo for 2 months now and have gained about 15 pounds.  This morning my jeans were to tight.  I am expecting period on Wednesday.  I also experience a very heavy period last month, heavier than I have ever had. I also had cramping all month the first month and bleeding. It was very hard to deal with. I am not comfortable with the weight gain. I have also experienced mood swings. Lots of crying about things that I would normally not cry about...stuff like the car didn't start!  "


"Md prescribed my 21 yo daughter this med without mentioning the $300 price tag it carries (for 3 month supply). I will not be accepting the delivery of this ridiculous scamming of patients."


"I was diagnosed with allergy induced asthma last year after suffering for many years.Was prescribe Breo Ellipta which worked almost instantly and totally resolved my symptoms. I was ecstatic as it was an absolute miracle drug and all my coughing and tight chest issues were gone!

The very unfortunate downside was that I started with severe headaches which literally crippled me. I went off the Breo and the severe headaches stopped, but chesty issues have returned. GP has now put me onto Symbicort to see how that goes. Im so upset that the Breo didn't work out for me as it is truly effective. Would highly recommend it (and hopefully no headaches for you)"


"Started September 2014, no issues at insertion. I spotted some then Ive had No periods/cramps/crazy symptoms since. No weight gain issyes, no mood swings or none of that.  Almost 2 years in, I am having my first spotting session, its very light and I believe it will pass. I think this was my best choice since it has worked for my body. I will go in to have it replaced next year! Good luck."


"this drug literally saved my life.
I had a routine where after work everyday I would go to the liquor store, get a 40oz and knock it back, before heading to the bar. I did this for years. When I finally hit a wall (it's a long story) I saw a few different healthcare professionals, one of whom was a psychiatrist and he prescribed me Antabuse. He explained it to me very well, and asked me if I would try it and I agreed.
The thing about it is, this drug forces you to change your habits. It gives you the time you need to think things through and make different decisions. While I was taking Antabuse I had to take the time and thought required to figure out other things to do with my time. It was a process. IT WORKED. Sober 9yrs."


"Hi all- hoping to impart some peace of mind to anyone waiting for it to work. My boyfriend & I had sex on May 4th, last day of my period. He finished in a condom, then later went back inside me unprotected. He didn't finish the 2nd time, but I wanted to be extra careful. I took Plan B ~18 hours later. I had a withdrawal bleed five days later (May 11-12th) that lasted 2 days, and was supposed to get my period on the 27th- it came today, 6 days late on June 1st (stress/jetlag may be to blame). Some bad side effects- depression, mood swings, thick white discharge, headaches, fatigue.
I'd urge you to keep track of your cycle for added reassurance in these situations (know your fertile window, etc.). Sending peace & patience & don't be scared!"


"I had the H1N1 flu and then developed Bronchitis. After 3 days of taking Avelox, I had hives all over my body. I stopped the medicine 5 days ago and still have hives.  The bronchitis seems to be gone. I also experience pains in my muscles and weakness and tightness in my chest and palpitations. I don't think I will be taking this medicine again."

"After just one day of using Pataday, I woke up for the first time with my eyes feeling normal and comfortable. I want to give this medication a chance and well worth the cost. I don't have insurance either. For years I have been suffering with eye pain, dryness and pressure. Sun sensitive.  Today after one dose I feel terrific."


"No problems. I still menstruate here and there. But overall no cramping..maybe some temporary gain weight during menstruate days like usual. But overall great. I got pregnant as soon as I removed it and put it back after my second baby. And still no problems."


"I posted in Oct. My 9 yr. Old has Aspergers and my life was hard.
It is now the last week of month 2 on 10mg. of Lexapro. OMG!!! Is this what normal really feels like!? Please.. if you have anxiety and possible depression give this drug a chance. I feel like a new person. I laugh at shows now, I have a sense of humor again. My spouse is spending more time around me since I am more pleseant to be around. I cooked a small Thx giving dinner for 4 from  scratch in 4 hours without stressing it. I can watch sad movies and feel  the emotions but not cry through the whole show or movie.  Find myself interested in things I used to enjoy but stopped. I am glad I hung in and listened to others who said to give it 6-8 weeks for full effect.They were right.:)"


"My hay fever has been bad this season. Nasonex has been awesome."


"I was prescribed 10 mg a day for anxiety/panic attacks. I'd never taken any sort of SSRI before. I took one pill and it scared me, I threw up several hours later and had the worst panic attack of my life. But I don't know if that was me, or the pill. So two weeks later, I chopped it in half and have taken 5mg everyday for the past 6 months. It has completely turned down the volume of anxiety and paranoia. I may never be able to go off of it. I have not had weight gain, anorgasmia, or decreased sex drive. I love it. I can live my life, it has taken that fog surrounding everything away. If you are super sensitive to medications like me, I encourage you to start with the lowest dose possible."


"I went in to the dr.s cause I have a rash all over my body and he prescribed cetirizine. All it did was make me sleepy, rash got worse then a different doctor looked at me 3 weeks later and determined I had scabies... Cetirizine really messed up my schedule. Being a college student, I fell behind because I was not able to keep up with homework."


"I was on gabapentin for approx. 4 years and it was great no more tingling down my legs . I took it twice a day and then it stopped working . My doctor told me to take the 300 mg. Pill 3 times a day and I couldn't tolerate the three pills. I got stomach pains so she took me off and put me on Lyrica and so far one year latter I am fine no more tingling. It is very expensive but the doctor has been giving me samples for the past year. God bless her sole."


"Ok, to begin with: Vyvanse has dramatically improved my life. I am a 20 year old college student and I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 19. I have always been a bright student, cheerful person and an overall hard worker but Vyvanse has "improved" me. I feel that it allows me to monitor and control my thoughts and actions in a way I never seemed to be able to before. Effects I experience from Vyvanse: Improved concentration, ability to focus clearly on a subject or task at hand, ability to switch focus and not "obsess", improvements in grades, & ability to plan/schedule/prioritize activities. In the end I feel like Vyvanse has made the dream me reality, I can finally accomplish my goals."


"I've had Implanon for almost 7 months.. and its been a horrible experience for me. To all the ladies that love it, thumbs up for you! A week and a half after getting it put in, my period started and its gone downhill from there. I will bleed for 2 months straight, stop for a week or 2 then its back again for months! I'm the meanest person on earth, and I'm constantly snapping and crying over something. It's ruining my relationship with my boyfriend of over 2 years and my family thinks I'm just a grouch because they don't understand what I'm going through. I have new acne of my face daily, hair loss, and sore breasts (especially in the morning). Also, I gained 5lbs in about 2 weeks, but thankfully I'm dieting and exercising and I lost that weight!"


"Wanted to give an update on the review I wrote 10 months ago. If you are an adult female with acne involving the jawline, hairline, neck, back, chest or upper arms, there is a great chance it could be hormonal. I had mild to moderate acne that suddenly worsened at the same time I started having irregular periods. It literally went from controllable to a disaster. I started researching and asked my doctor about trying spironolactone. This was almost exactly one year ago. First month consisted of a nasty initial breakout, but following that, I saw gradual improvement and am 100% clear for the first time in my adult life. My life is completely different. I used to hide. I can wear any clothing I want now. I will NEVER give up this medication."


"So thankful my obgyn discussed my options for birth control! He knew I didnt want any hormones because hormonal bc has messed me up in the past. He told me that paragard is 100% hormone free and I was sold! I was scared after reading hundreds of negative reviews just like your doing now.  So glad I went thru with the procedure! I told my Gyno I was very nervous and he prescribed me a valium to take 30 mins before arriving, It helped take the edge off. I have had my Iud for 3 years now and still love it"


"There is only one issue I've had in the 2&1/2 years I've been on this birth control. Absolutley no sex drive what so ever. On the positive side I have a period once in a blue moon, but I don't even know if I can consider it a period I don't even have to use panty liners! I just wish I could get my sex drive back."


"When I originally got sick with insomnia and mania, I was prescribed Seroquel. 5 years later was admitted to the hospital and a student doc suggested I try lithium.

It kills fast onset mania quickly and fortunately have minor ill effects from it. Lost precision hand eye coordination for playing sports like baseball, that's the only issue I have had with it. And minor sun sensitivity.

Its also good being a natural substance on the table of elements so it's not a synthetic medicine.

Very lucky to be on a low level that works so no need for constant blood monitoring."


"My acne cleared up over a couple months, but after I finished the course, my digestive system was destroyed. For four years I struggled to figure out what was wrong with me, I was plagued by brain fog, poor memory, and low energy levels after eating certain foods. Turns out, the doxycycline decreased my gut motility, killed off a large percentage of my good bacteria, and ultimately I developed something called SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth). I'm currently being treated for SIBO, but I will likely never be able to properly digest gluten or dairy again and I'm only 20 years old. Trust me when I say that taking this for acne is not worth it under any circumstance. Diet is a much better option."


"Works awesome, put me back on my feet in 2 days. I didn't experience any side effects. The only bad part was the price."


"had good skin until 20 years old, college had me stressed so I started getting hormonal acne on my cheeks esp my jaw. I was absolutely devastated, I would cry when I looked at my face in the mirror. I tried everything, just like everybody else here nothing worked. I never wrote a review before, but this medication gave me my life back. My skin starting clearing up immediately, like 2 weeks. 40mg 2 months then 60mg. After my 3rd month my face is 100% clear, don't get a single pimple even if I sleep in my makeup. Only side effect I have is the most chapped lips are ever but i'll take it. I wanna run up to every person I see in the street with acne on their face and recommend this medication. if acne is ruining your life please try this."


"It was helping with the frequency l still have bad days. Started it in March 16.I also have a problem with constipation. I don't eat or drink enough have lost 2 and a half stone. As I live in the UK I don't have to pay full price just a prescription  charge. I find I have become obsessed and anxious about it not continuing to give me some relief. I will be going back to the doctors for more help with distressing condition."


"I've been on Lo Loestrin FE for over a year now and I'm happy with the birth control. I didn't gain any weight. I didn't have any negative side effects. It's expensive out of pocket but now my insurance covers it so that's a plus!"


"I've been on Cymbalta since 2002 and it's changed my life.  I haven't had a depressive episode since I've been on it.  My sex life is ruined, however.  A common side affect for these kinds of meds."


"My sister has been on this drug for 2 and a half weeks now.  She has had suicidal thoughts on more than one occassion. She's also having to triple her dose of Trazodone to sleep due to the insomnia.  And her depression is worse than ever. She's also become very aggressive."


"Terrible heartburn and intergestion. Easy to take, but went back to sustiva and combivir because of heartburn."


"Helped healing and did give me a headache but with repeated use the headaches went away soon.
Overall Rectiv healed where nothing else helped, was worth the extra money."


"I went on this medication when I was 19 and I am 24 now. When I was 19 I was diagnosed with stage 3 endometriosis. I now take continuous birth control pills (never going off the active ones). My insurance covers me to get 2 packets a month. Being on only active pills, I usually have spotting once or twice a year due to missing a pill or taking it more than 12 hours late.

Side effects: Big breasts and weight gain. I used to be a size B, now I'm a D/DD awesome! I have put on 20 pounds over the years but that could be caused by my diet/age."


"I first had the mirena 7 years ago and had no problems at all and not one period.Two years ago had new one put in and this time around have regular painful and heavy periods so not sure why . Other than that no other side effects that have stood out."


"I use Valproate Sodium for manic episodes I believe. I take 4 tablets per day. The main problem is weight fluctuation - expect a great increase! - and fatigue.  If you forget to take the pills, you find a whole host of problems which is also awful but on the whole it works well."


"I been on norco everyday for 10 years, was on 10-12 pills per day for chronic pain. Without clonidine I would be hurting like hell.  I went to detox at the hospital & left after 14 hours, they wanted me on Suboxone, which is good but its just another high to kick after, been there done that, I don't need a migraine headache as well. Suboxone causes headaches & Suboxone is hell to get off. Best bet is to stick with clonidine pills. 1st day 01mg x5 2nd day x4 3rd x3 4th x2 5th x1, your 6th day can be 1, or none, you decide. The only withdrawal symptoms I have from norco is minor diarrhea, minor pain in stomach, no eating for days, hard to get to sleep but its possible...and day 1 i had depression, but I'm over it now....LIFE SAVER"


"It has been a blessing.  I tried several other medicines and they make me

sad, uneasy and very sleepy.  I only take this when needed. At first it was daily and now maybe one a month. It has been great."


"I've had fibromyalgia for 15 years.  My Doctor suggested I try Savella.  He took me off Zoloft that I had been taking for over 20 yrs. He started me on a half of a dose to help with the nausea. It really worked with the pain and a little less Fibromyalgia fog. The only drawback was I got very short with people and couldn't handle stress. The Doctor put me back on half the Zoloft I had been on and all is well. It did not help with the chronic fatigue but I still would give it a 10"


"I have problem with frequent uriantion especially at night. I started taking Rapaflo with the following effects:
1- Urinary symptoms improved some what
2- No orgasm
3- No ejaculation
4- Stuffy nose
5- Muscle ache
So I decided to have frequent urination and I stopped taking Rapaflo."


"Had a heart attack four years ago & for the first three years afterward, Plavix was my prescribed medication as a blood thinner.  I kept complaining to my physician that I was experiencing something weird; what I called a "roving arthritis".  I was usually waking in the mornings with one or both hands so swollen in the joints that I couldn't hold a coffee cup. Or, I'd get out of bed & could only limp around due to swollen, painful ankles. I was miserable, so I finally did my own research online & found Brilinta.  About one month after switching to Brilinta, my joint pain has totally stopped!  On Brilinta for almost a year; a very positive experience.  Only 1  negative: my insurance doesn't cover near as much as Plavix. Very spendy."


"I have used Rythmol or Propafenone for over 13 years for atrial fibrillation with good results. I'm taking 225mg twice a day. I drink lots of coffee with no problems.  Alcoholic beverages will trigger my atrial fibrillation 95% of the time so I know longer drink. Wine seems to be the worst culprit. I have thought about an ablation but since the Rythmol works so well, I'm hesitant to have the procedure."


"I take this for the bad days of my chronic pain syndrome that my doctor won't give an official diagnosis, but basically the symptoms are like those of fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndromes.  We've ruled out everything else!  Anyway, I also take it for migraines, as I unfortunately don't tolerate the typical medicines for those.  As long as I really moderate how much and how often I take it, the pain is much more tolerable.  Not gone, but much better than it would otherwise be without it!  The downside to this drug (like all of the other opiates) is that I've built a tolerance to it over the years.  Fortunately have never become physically dependent on it!  I find that it is better for me than Vicodin or Darvocet because it has less gastrointestinal side effects."


"I was put on Prozac (20mg) for severe OCD and anxiety 2 years ago and took it for a little bit over a year and it helped tremendously. I was dumb and stopped taking it and over the course of 5-6 months my OCD and anxiety slowly got worse to the point where I had been when I first started taking the medicine. I just started back up on it about 3 weeks ago and the first week on it was bad for me. I had lots of anxiety and suicidal thoughts. But here recently I'm starting to notice some improvement in my anxiety. Don't stop taking Prozac just because you feel better. I found out the hard way and it's not worth it."


"It took six months to my skin to get clear. The first 4 months were the worst, but now, I don"


"It works for headaches"


"I've been on the medication for a little over a week so it's a little early but here's my experience so far. The first couple of days I was very tired and experienced some stomach upset. I also had some emotional outbursts- some crying which has since subsided. I read other reviewers comments before taking this medication and saw that taking too much too fast or titrating this too fast lead to unpleasant effects that were intolerable so I've titrated extremely slowly and I haven't even gotten to the lowest registered dosage yet but have consistently lost about a pound a day and have lost a total of 7 pounds since starting a week ago. I consistently have a very slight stomach ache after eating but it goes away fairly quickly and is tolerable"


"I chose the implanon after 5 years of being on the deposit injection (I began having the most awful mood swing after 3 years or so on it). I chose the implanon as I wanted to try a different method of contraception.

The first 6 months have been brilliant however in the last couple of months I have had such horrendous acne. I've never had spots and I've recently been getting  hard boils/lumps on my face that take about 4-5 days to go! Gross I know. I've had awful fluid retention around my pubis and belly which goes after a week or so. Periods are hit and miss.. Last month was so light yet this month I've been bleeding over a week using super plus tampons! Mood swings have been an issue too.

I need a non hormonal methods.. copper iud next!"


"I was put on this BC a month ago and I did not like it at all!! I was on Lutera and Sronyx for months and it worked perfectly for me. After being switched to Falmina I noticed I would wake up with dry eyes and a dry mouth and what was even worse was that my genital area itched like crazy!! I knew it had to be the BC pills because whenever I would take the placebo pills during my period the dryness went away and the itching stopped. I've been switched to Aubra and the itching is still there. I'm going to wait a while to see if the dryness continues. If it does I'm switching back to Lutera!!"


"63/ y/o.  One hour into first dose.  I took it straight with cool water - drank it quickly, no problem with taste - drink it fast.  Before I finished the second glass of water, started the trips to the bathroom.  No nausea or cramping.  Get wipes!  Wish I'd read that.  So far, this prep is no worse than the symptoms that have me going to the colonoscopy.   Eating lightly for a couple of days helps.  Dose 2, who knows?  15 years ago used the prep that had one drinking glass after glass after glass, that was awful."


"I first started taking Elavil when I was 21 in 1983, and met my present day neurologist after being hospitalized with a severe migraine that didn't go away. He started me on 10mg, and over the years he has increased the dosage to 200mg a day. For it helps me with migraines and also with my depression for which I suffer from, as a result of my migraines.  The only side effect I suffer from is drowsiness and that is why I take it at night for it puts me to sleep.
                                              "


"I was diagnosed with advanced fibromyalgia about 3 years ago. My doctor has been monitoring my my condition and it has worsen over the years. I am now considered advanced to severe and my doctor decided to try this and see if it would help my symptoms. Nucynta ER 200 mg has done wonders and given me new life. The down side is that local pharmacies don't stock it or want to carry on their shelves regularly because of cost and with my insurance not allowing me to order refills until I am only days away from running out. Also, their suppliers only deliver once a week and the pharmacy needs to know 2 days in advance to get it that week or you end up having to wait til next week and you start going through withdrawals and depending on meds....."


"I started on Saxenda on February 14, 2017. My weight was 295 lbs, I am 6'3" tall and 55 years of age. Today it is March 8, 2017. When I began using this product I experienced some sickness, itching and I was very tired however the appetite suppression effect was immediate. As such, I modified my diet to include more healthy and "weight loss friendly" foods. I also upped my doses every 4 days instead of every week as recommended. I am very pleased to announce today that all of the symptoms except the itching have resolved themselves. I have been on a full, 3.0 dose since March 2nd. At this time I am 281.2 lbs,  which is down about 14 pounds. My goal is a 50 pound weight reduction and I feel that with Saxenda this is a very realistic goal."


"Powerful."


"Did not help at all for my lichen planus.  Tried 2 weeks morning and night.  2nd cream tried"


"I'm 25 and I've tried lots of different approaches to get rid of my acne. This is the first time I've had any success. I should add that i had been prescribed benzoyl peroxide in the past but I think i started getting side effects and stopped. I SHOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED. That is my advice to anyone who starts using any benzoyl peroxide creams. Stick with it through the first few weeks of pain. It gets better. At least it did for me. It was so painful to begin with. My skin was red and so sore. It felt like a stinging burning itchy graze all over my face. No, it's not an easy treatment but this is exactly what i do...clean my face at night, one pump of epiduo, then BIO OIL not moisturiser, wash off in the morning. 1 month in and I'm spot free"


"No side effects has worked well for me"


"I was diagnosed with PMDD 3 years ago by my gynecologist & was prescribed YAZ. Let me just say that it changed my hormones to a more controllable manner. I love YAZ & I cannot live without it (honestly) without YAZ I have severe depression during ovulation & cannot get out of bed. PMDD was interfering with my day to day life & relationships. After 3 months of taking YAZ I felt 100% better, I know that every medication has side effects but I didn't get any on YAZ. I came off YAZ after my wedding to try fall a baby & fell pregnant within 8 weeks. I have now given birth & straight back on it as I wouldn't be able to go through PMDD with a new born baby."


"I am 57 and have suffered from eczema my whole life. I am allergic to everything and have constant itching on my face mostly. Sometimes I cannot figure out what has triggered when it gets worse. I have used steroid creams regularly for the last 40 years and when extremely bad they will put me on prednisone which is awesome until it comes back soon after I am off the medicine. I have been using Eucrista now for a week. It really stung at first but, fingers crossed, my eczema is MUCH better and it feels like there are a couple new layers of skin on my face....
Hoping."


"I have ADHD and Bulimia. I read through everyone's comments and I couldn't agree more. I am a 21 year old model living in New York City and suffered from chronic ADHD/ADD and Bulimia. Ritalin would make me so jittery I couldn't even try to do anything. 1 hour of euphoria that led no WHERE. (Focalin *is new* did the same thing just paid more!) So they tried everything in every batch: Daytrana, Focalin and Ritalin.. then Vyvanse with Adderall IR or AddXR with ADD IR

Anyways I looked up online and saw how Dexedrine is what makes up half of Adderall. I asked my doctor he was like "ehh" but he went for it. I've been on it ever since. I think it is the most under credited ADHD/Stimulant medicine on the market. I have no anxiety, clean concentration! "


"I was on a ten day treatment taking three pills four times a day. I was also taking Omeprazole twice daily. It helped a lot as far as the sickness and nausea go. Dark urine and stool was about the only side effect I experienced except for dry mouth during the night. The key is to make sure you eat plenty before each dose. Do NOT eat or drink dairy while taking it. I made that mistake one time and that's all it took. Other than that I felt pretty good. I will also suggest a good brand of  probiotic to take daily as well. It was a tough ten days but I believe it's well worth it."


"Complete elimination of symptoms which were severe.  I preferred not taking a benzodiazepines and tried numerous other medications that were either ineffective or effective for a brief period of time.  I am back on the Klonopin (1 mg at supper time) and am symptom free.  "


"I take Xanax very rarely with Lexapro as my primary anxiety med. Xanax works perfectly to knock out secondary panic and anxiety symptoms, the best as needed anxiety med on the market. I don't recommend it as your primary anxiety med though, too addictive."


"I took cabergoline twice a week (at night) for 5 months.  The day after each dose, I felt extremely tired, nauseous, dizzy, constipated and had a numbing headache.  The symptoms got worse over time."


"This is the easiest ddavp to individualize. The spray only delivers .1 ml at at time, not good for people who only require .05ml. The pill does not work....Period!. Sadly the manufacturer is discontinuing making the rhinal tube which is devistating to people like me who will now face illness due to wrong dosing or inadequate dosing."


"I feel the need to warn everybody about the side effects and how difficult it can be to get off this drug. I've been on it for approximately 8 years before the side effects really started kicking in. Began as morning anxiety attacks, severe GI upset, mood swings and low to mid level depression. Tried changing the schedule from twice a day to three times a day. It helped at first but about two months later my body began anticipating new schedule and the side effects would start kicking in about an hour before next dose. Its taken me 8 months to get dosage down from 225 mg a day to 75mg a day and every step down has been sheer hell. Every step down leads to a period of depression, and it gets worse the closer you get to zero."


"I am into my 4th week of Pristiq and it hasn't yet kicked in.  I still require a clonazepam every morning for the anxiety when I get up.  The wild dreams have finally subsided as have the sweating.  I was on Zoloft for 10 years which worked wonderfully for me until it quit working. I tried Celexa - didn't work, tried Effexor XR - didn't work and had a lot of side effects with it.  Pristiq is supposed to be from the same family as Effexor so possibly this may not work.  One can only keep hoping."


"Was on Zyprexa from Mar 2015 till Aug 2015. At first it seemed like it was mellowing me out a bit, and I could sleep through the whole night, which was an improvement. After a few months I noticed my depression was getting much worse. Came off the drug cold turkey, and went through one of the most serious withdrawals one could face. Depression, severe anxiety, PTSD, night terrors took over. To this day Apr 2016, I have still not returned to the way I was before I started taking this horrible drug. Depression and anxiety are still bad, not as bad as 6 mos ago, but still worse than when I first started taking it. I'm convinced this drug can cause permanent brain damage."


"I have been taking Zoloft now for 7 Years. I felt almost instant relief for about a week after first taking it only to come crashing back down again. I guess it was some kind of placebo effect. But sticking it out and uping my dose to 200mg a day, after about six weeks I felt so much better. I could function and instead of my mind having 100's of things running through it I could focus on the one thing and work through my problems. My only side effects was an upset tummy. But that passed. I'm grateful for this medication. It saved my life."


"Dreadful experience, even after just 8 days. Itchy face, sharp pin-like pain in eye, severe foot and leg cramps, sharp pin-like pain in heels. frozen feet and hands, mind numbing pain in left kidney, general feeling of illness and debility. Honestly, I thought this drug would kill me. Immediately after stopping the drug, all of the above symptoms cleared up. I felt like a guinea pig, tortured with each dose. Awaiting a visit with my Dr. to discuss dietary and lifestyle changes I'm putting into effect without toxic chemicals."


"The cream works wonderfully.  It is a little bit hot and you really feel the burn. The outcome is worth it but it is CRIMINAL how much the drug company charges for this medication!!!  It has been around since 1957 and in 2009 it cost $157.00 per tube, today it costs $2,865.00.  Absolutely abuse!"


"My cholesterol had been over 300 for years. We (myself & Dr.) tried diet from a nutritionist along with my regular exercise, cholesterol, no change. We then went to medication. After three different meds, which two did lower the count, but not enough to really matter. So, a year or so later my doctor ask if I was willing to try Vytorin, and I said, Why not. After being on Vytorin for approximately 2 1/2 months I was scheduled for my routine blood work-up and when the results came back I was shocked when the doctor read the results. My LDL was below 100 and the HDL was up to 75. I have been on Vytorin for about 6 years and I never worry about my cholesterol. I try to eat healthy, but I no longer worry about or read food labels."


"Just started Victoza almost a week ago.  I do not have Diabetes Type II but I'm borderline due to my weight and family history.  The nausea is really getting me, I started doing my shot at night and while the nausea improved, I still have terrible tasting burps.  They taste like I just ate a egg Mcmuffin.  They last all day.  So, yes, that is disgusting.  Appetite is much less.  I weighed today and have lost 2lbs.  My PA called me in some Zofran to help with the nausea."


"I believe Savella has been the most effective out of everything I've tried.  I've had no side effects and it works quickly.  My only complaint is after a year and a half my body built up a tolerance and I had to stop taking it for a while.  I'm happy to say that I'm back on it and I'm pain free."


Deep Vein Thrombosis Prophylaxis after Hip Replacement Surgery

"My Dr switched me from Lovenox to Xarelto 21 days ago. So far I feel better. I've used injections since early 2005. I'm still evaluating and paying close attention for any negative side effects."


"I have been on this contraceptive for about 15 months. I haven't experienced weight gain, but a weight loss of 3 pants sizes. Altough that's great and everything, I've also been sick to my stomach at least once a week, and my period didn't stop being extremely heavy. It also jumps around a lot more, and for a few months I didn't have one. (Wasn't pregnant, went to doctor and had to get put on medication to restart period) but all in all I think it's decent."


"I've been taking 1 mg of Klonopin for a year now and have tried so many others. It works better then anything I've had. I have very bad anxiety which just comes out of no where. Also had a problem with just being in public and now I can. I wouldn't make it without it."


"This is the best weight loss pill. I took it for three months and I lost 60 pounds. Its amazing, but we also have to understand that after taking them, we need to learn how to control our hunger, and make changes in our eating habits for life, because if we stop taking them and start eating bad for sure you are going to gain all the weight back  more. Good luck."


"This medicine is very effective for a nagging cough that won't quit, but be very careful with dosage. I once took 2 teaspoon instead of my regular 1 tsp dose and felt absolutely AWFUL - shaking, agitated, hot flashes, nervous, nauseous. "


"I've only been on 10mg of citalopram for a week but I already feel more calm on it. I take it at night, I haven't noticed a lack of sex drive, shakiness or anything like that. My Dr did say that the 1st week on it can be the worse for anxiety but that it would get better. I honestly haven't noticed that my anxiety has been worse, if anything it has definitely taken the edge off. I've had PTSD for the past 15 years. playing sports and eating healthy has always made me feel better but I recently suffered a torn PCL while playing ice hockey and not being able to do any physical activities has left me quite frustrated and depressed. I'm hoping the Rx will only be temp until I can have surgery and get back to physical activities."


"I'm so excited how niacin has changed my life.. I've suffered from depression and anxiety attacks for years. It started when I was 7th grade.. I'm now 62yr old and been through many drugs and doctors.. When I decided to try niacin it was the last straw for me. With the help and support of my daughter she insisted for me to give it a try. She is taking classes to become  nutritionist and came across info on this supplement called niacin and read great testimonies.  So I took her advice and began to take it. I'm so amazed how it has lifted my depression, anxiety, and unwanted fear. I feel like a new person, confident , happy and wanting to endeavor in new activities.. Nothing is holding me back!! There is hope for me now.."


"Best inhalant I've taken, all was fine until my teeth started to fall apart, and in a short time 4 molars are gone and I need implants and another medicine I guess, I want the teeth I still have to stay, if they will. If they go too I will return to Anoro Ellipta, what do I have to lose then?"


"I started taking Keppra XR a few weeks ago and it's definitely helped reduce my manic attacks.  My depression continues but the mania is being tamed.  So far I really haven't had any bad side effects to speak of."


"Took 2 tablets at 9PM, went to sleep at midnight and woke up in excruciating pain at 3am! The times now is  3:50AM and I'm writhing in pain, shaking and feeling like I'm going to vomit. I rushed to the toilet thinking I was going to have a bm only to find I didn't  it was only gas. I'm never using these again. I hope this cramping pain and terrible nausea will subside soon as I can't sleep."


"Controlled neural activity for a while but ended up being hallucinogenic, thus it could no longer be used."


"I really had edema all over my body (i.e. face, hands, feet), but especially on my legs!  I went to my doctor and she prescribed this medication to me, it's working like magic! I take it in the morning as soon I wake up, I noticed it's more effective taken on empty stomach, then after breakfast and so on. I had to deal with some headaches(minor), but it was definitely worth it!!"


"This medication has changed my life. Been using for over 3 months and have gone from wearing 3 heavy pads per day to none. I also missed a couple of doses and immediately had incontinence. I took 2 x 25mg in one day and it reversed the problem and I got right back on schedule. For me its been a gradual improvement overtime so ladies, don't give up. I also take it separately from my blood pressure meds as to not interfere just in case. Also, insurance doesn't cover but you can download their Savings Card and pay less than half. That works for other non-covered meds like Crestor."


"Buyer beware! Like many other users I learned too late, your vagina will catch fire when you insert the capsule.  I inserted about 8pm, then at 10pm I peed and went to bed. That's when the unbearable burning and itching started. It immediately escalted to me thinking something had to be wrong, I'm having a bad reaction! I quickly got online and found these reviews! I took one users advice and hopped into a warm bath with about 1/2 of apple cider vinegar. It helped, the pain come down from a full on 10 to about 7. My no longer squirming and grabbing my vagina in agony. But it's still very uncomfortable and hope I can get some sleep. I will not use this product again. I'll just go to doctor to get a one dose oral med next time."


"Very good for my hive allergy symptoms.  Almost works for the whole 24 hours... very nice.  Yeah, it might make me hungrier... so I eat another apple - ha ha, it's all about your food choices.  I'm glad this exists. I'm on allergy shots so it's doesn't always clear 100% of my misery but it's close enough.  Way better than other medicines - I've tried so many."


"Weight loss, more energy, much less anxiety and stress, no mood swings. I do feel shaky in the morning and at night and don't sleep quite as soundly."


"I just started taking this medicine last Tuesday. If I would have known the bad possible side effects of this I would have never taken it. It was given to me for pain and stiffness I was getting in my joints, hips, back etc. I’m 26. The doctor said maybe they were inflamed from possibly having fibromyalgia and basically told me to try this medicine out to see if it would help and then we would go from there. Well fast forward to a week later.. I took two in the morning 3 days ago and about 30 minutes after I started having a crazy physcotic episode. Heart pounding, heat flashes, severe sweating, shaking, crawling out of my skin feeling, and was pacing on the floor hysterically crying. Ended up in the ER where they did absolutely nothing"


"I've been on the ortho evra for 2 weeks I've noticed that my boobs are getting very sore and I get headaches every now and then and I've gained weight , but I haven't bled since I've had the patch on I will up date as I notice anything else.

Question if anyone can answer, for some reason it maybe how I sleep but my patch gets a crease in it does that make it any less effective ? As I put mine on my thigh??"


"Started at 5mg for a week and then went up to 10 after stopping Pristiq. First two weeks I experienced extreme nausea and diarrhea but it eventually subsided. I also was very lightheaded the first few days adjusting to the medication. Now the only side effect I have noticed is extreme fatigue. My mood has improved quite a bit just not any improvement in motivation."


"Pathetic medicine I was prescribed flagyl 400mg 3 times a day for 3 days. After day one I felt the side effects immediately. Tiredness, fatigue, headaches and increased sensitivity being the major ones. Worst part is after completing my course I'm still feeling the side effects.Sensitivity to light has increased along with dizziness and fatigue!!!"


"The Mylan lidocaine patches are a waste of money!  They don't stay on your skin for more 2-3 hours. The problems with patches is the patch is not breathable and the adhesive does not move with your body."


"I had a UTI once as a teenager and got this as rx and worked wonders! Went in to my doctor today for same symptoms after having a kidney stone. The doctor said I don't have any infection but  it was still hurting. I bought this over the counter (Uricalm) and still works wonders! I feel so much better! If your bladder hurts, use this!"


"This medication elevated my male hormones. I grew dark hair down my belly button and on my chin. My new gynecologist immediately knew that it was my birth control. She stated that this type is "androgynizing." Other side effects included extremely increased sex drive, aggression, and mood swings. I give it a 5 because, despite all of that, I'm not pregnant. It technically worked."


"This medication has helped tremendously since I started taking it last week. Just the drowsiness is the downside, this medicine works better than Vicodin, Percocet, etc."


"Took Invokana about 9 months. Glucose numbers were great. Started getting horrible yeast infection. It would not go away even with prescription medication. The itching started vaginal and anus area. I was miserable. No type medication would eradicate the itching. Infection got so bad my good white blood count cells could not fight off the infection in my body. Started feeling weak, extremely thirsty, eating so much ice my ice machine could not keep up with me. Started coughing a lot, short of breath, anemic. body aches, dry hair and skin, plus I still had the yeast smell. Had blood test performed at local hospital. White count cells was 247 thousand, normal is 10 thousand. Diagnosis Cancer Chronic Mylogenous Leukemia, my blood got infected."


"My doctor had me on a regular dose of Inderal, and Valium as a back up if needed.  This was working fine.  When I went in for my annual visit and said everything was as usual, no better but no worse, she changed me to primidone.  I am on my 3rd month of this and feel like a basketcase.  Vertigo, stomach problems, vision problems, memory problems.  "


"I was very pleased with the effectiveness and mild side effects I got from 50mg of Viagra! Works within 30mins and lasts for hours."


"Munik....thank you so much for your review.  I was telling a friend that I was feeling anxious and irritable today and wasn't sure if my new medication (Pristiq) was for me.  It's been 2 weeks and thanks to your words of encouragement I'm hanging in there.  I must say I have noticed a decrease in my appetite which is much needed and have felt like exercising for the first time in years."


"I was told not to use drink alcohol with Flagyl, of course, but I also found I cannot use Purell (ethanol-based) or isopropyl rubbing alcohol with it. These led to terrible stomach pain and headache. One pharmacist told me this couldn't happen, not enough alcohol would get in, but another said Yes, it happens, and some people even have a reaction to alcohol in the slight fumes you get while pumping gasoline that includes alcohol. When I avoid Purell and isopropyl, I don't get those severe stomach pains."


"Been on Quetiapine MR for around 9 months. 300mg at night. Found it far less sedating than Olanzapine. Its been a miracle for my Bipolar, absolutely no depression and no manic episodes. Yeah I put on weight but the effects on my mood and mental health have been incredible."


"I've had a wonderful experience with Adderall! It helps me focus and get up to do the daily things that need to be done plus more!"


"Methadone is my lifesaver. I have had back pain associated with nerve damage. Degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, bursitis and some other minor/major problems here and there. I was taking ten to twelve Percocets a day. I heard about clinics that give doses of methadone daily. I went and now I'm happy to get my methadone daily. I take nothing else and couldn't be happier. Methadone works the best for pain and its long-acting and I take it for opiate addiction as well. I'm on 50 mg and it just works great."


"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."


"constant urination. weakness.  dizzy. tired.  unable to take daily walks as i did before."


"23 days ago, I started phentermine and went to the doctor today and lost a total of 18 pounds! WOW!! I was 243lbs and now 225lbs. In 30 days I expected to lose no more than 10 pounds! The real key here is if you are overweight like me. The first thing you need to do is start on a 1200 calorie diet with these pills. I count them with my fitness pal and you can just scan your foods you eat. I also up my calories by 200-300 calories on the weekends and don't take the pill on these days. If you only eat under the 1200 calories your body will go into starvation mode and the next time you eat anything bad, you will gain weight. You can drink diet pop and flavored water. I USUALLY eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and about a 200 calorie snack at night (usually chocolate fudge cake and ice cream). "


"This is a good medication to take for pain, when you can acquire it. Right now it is rather difficult to get my prescriptions filled. "


"I had restless legs almost every night. I dreaded to go to bed because I knew I would be in misery.I started taking requip my dr. recommended and wrote a RX for. I have never had restless legs once after starting it. I am so thankful I have this medication."


"I love this medication because of the diagnosis of fibromyalgia. I have such a hard time getting motivated and not wanting to sleep all the time. This medication helps me stay awake. I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a prescription card out there usually at the doctors office. It will help with the co-pay and usually takes up to $50.00 off of the cost of the medication. "


"I was on this firstly for social anxiety disorder , after 1 month I felt pleased, happy and had interest in doing any thing then I concluded that I had mild depression but it has done nothing for my SAD,  but it helped by giving me the desire to socialize .. my ratings : 10 for depression and 6 for SAD"


"I have tried everything to quit but failed every time but I started taking Chantix and I am 33 days smoke free. I cannot believe how great this is. My husband is still smoking and has not once told me he is proud of me. He probably figures this wont work like the rest. I am going to stay smoke free just to prove myself that I can quit and he can't."


"I was put on this this for Diabetic nerve pain.  The starting dose was 300mg twice a day. On the starting dose, I found I was slightly moody, had some stomach problems and the nerve pain was just as bad as ever, if not continuing to get worse. My Dr raised the dose to 600 twice a day and I became someone I did not even know. I was extremely moody, angry, difficult to be around. HORRID! It also effected my stomach more. I would eat, even just a small amount and have stomach pain, vomiting and so on. It got so bad I simply stopped eating. I simply lost the desire to eat, despite feeling hungry. Started having trouble with vision and intense headaches as well.

There has to be another option. I can't live like this."


"This medication is great.  I've tried several other antidepressants and this one is by far the most effective especially when taken concurrently with an SSRI.  The only bad thing about it is it makes you shake like a leaf.  I once spilled a drink all over me because I couldn't hold it steady.  But this side effect is insignificant in comparison to the benefits of taking the medicine."


"Atralin is an amazing ointment for acne prone, sensitive skin. I got a prescription for the topical gel because I was having mild to moderate breakouts and had acne scarring that had occurred before I went on Accutane. My skin is very sensitive, so I needed a mild gel. Every night I put a pea sized amount into my palm, mixed it with a small amount of my facial night cream, dabbed bits of the mixture all over my face and neck and then applied my night cream as usual. At first I was discouraged because I was very consistent with my regime and did not see results for many weeks. Then, after about three months of daily use, my acne and acne scarring began to clear up dramatically. I have not had a blemish in months!"


"I found the pill very effective.  Took it every day for 3 months and by the time I had completed the treatment a new healthy nail had completely grown out.  However, within weeks the fungus returned and a the nail became yellow and brittle again.  Huge disappointment.  At least I didn't have any bad side effects."


"I have been taking Belviq for close to a month with zero results.  My Doctor says it could take 6 weeks for it to kick-in.  Has anyone else experienced a positive effect after 6 weeks or more? I had my side effects the first week, but then they went away.  This medicine is too expensive to get refilled if it's not going to work."


"Day 1 felt great was in a good mood all day when I first took it didn't feel the symptoms yet
Day 2 felt nauseous and ribs felt sore. Strange dreams.
Day 3 irritable and frustrated about almost everything. Slight headache. Strange dreams
Day 4 felt first thing in the morning when I got nervous my heart was racing and couldn't talk because of my anxiety
Day 5 good luck ladies "


"I'm 22, have never been pregnant, and had my Mirena inserted ~3 weeks ago. Other than some slight cramping during and some moderately worse cramping later that day and for a few days after (nothing pain killers can't handle) it's been great!  I used to have really heavy, really painful periods (which is why I went with Mirena over the paraguard) and though I was supposed to get my period the week after they put it in I haven't had anything but super light, almost non-existent spotting."


"Love this medicine!! I've lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks. It also stop the cravings for  alcohol and cigarettes. So I've quit smoking and drinking!! Love it no side effects either other than the first day where I felt like I had the worse hangover ever!! But now I feel great!"


"I am 65 years old and have been taking Flomax for over a year. It works great for the flow of urine but I had a few side effects so I switched to Avodart. My bad symptoms disappeared but my flow of urine decreased and after two weeks I ended up with a Urinary Tract Infection. I see that some people take both Avodart and Flomax together for prostate problems."


"Before I got my IUD I researched a ton about what to expect during and after the procedure. All the reviews had me terrified of the procedure, saying it was the most pain they've ever had, that they fainted, that they were bleeding for months afterwards, etc. DO NOT listen to these. Every experience is incredibly personal and will be different for every single person! The procedure itself felt like a slightly more extreme period cramp, and then for the next few days I had mild cramps that were on and off, nothing different from a normal period. I have some spotting but it is very tolerable and manageable. Overall, this has been an extremely effective contraceptive for me."


"Have been taking with Lithium for 10 years now. Have not been admitted to hospital in that time. It seems to 'dull my brain' however. My memory is terrible. "


"I have taken regular amoxicillin before, but my DR put me on this to clear up a sinus infection. BCBS covered it and I took one dose when RX was filled with yogurt, milk, and chicken soup and 2 hrs later had intense diarrhea and I vomited every 2-3 minutes from 4 pm to 9:30 pm. I thought I was literally going to die or have to have my stomach pumped or something. Made me severely dehydrated and from all the vomiting I had the most intense stomach pain I have ever felt in my life. Going in for a  shot today and getting off this medication."


"Good experience. Got the med a long time ago. Some people react different to tramadol. It is heavy. But in my case far more effective than other medicines."


"I have been on Latuda for a little over a year now. It's been extremely helpful for both mania and depression. I had psychotic mixed episodes, which Lithium did not help. On Latuda, I feel stable and like myself. However, I have "mild" akathisia, meaning I don't twitch, but I feel horrible if I take it during the day. I take it at night before bed with Lorazepam as needed, (I am probably going to switch to a more regular sleep med soon) and that pretty much solved the problem. The only issue is that it is expensive, but thankfully I have insurance that covers it after my deductible."


"I was in the same spot you are at this exact moment about 2 weeks ago . Just know everything is going to be okay & Plan B does work !
I have an irregular period which made tracking the effectiveness really complicated . I was supposed to get my period close to the day me and my BF had sex  . I think I was already a few days late , which is normal for me since I'm always late.One thing led to the other & somehow the condom managed to stay inside of me.So my BF took the condom out & obviously I panicked right away because something like this had never happened . The next morning my BF got me the pill . My period didn't come until about a week and a half after taking the pill . Mind you I was already late when we had intercourse . You are ok!"


"I had severe pain in both shoulders for a couple of years and tried everything offered over the counter and some prescriptions that were mind benders to me. After surgery the pain was reduced from a 10 to a 5 which was almost tolerable. Ibuprofen caused constipation and aspirin caused stomach problems. A young female intern at the VA finally prescribed the Etodolac and now I live nearly pain free most of the time. Even the developed back pain that has developed over the years is more tolerable and I can live a normal life with little restraint."


"I've actually lost weight on this pill. Every other birth control pill made me gain lots of weight. Periods are short. It has no side effects that I've noticed. Compared to other pills I've tried, this is the best. I recommend it! I do not get acne, or crazy mood swings, or anything of that sort on this pill. It works beautifully"


"Took Farxiga for 1 to 3 mos, instantly began having recurrent yeast infections.  Even after stopping the medication the infections continue to come frequently."


"It wasn't helpful at all very useful."


"I think the people doubting the effectiveness of doxycyline on their bronchitis either have a rare allergic reaction, aren't being diagnosed properly, or they're improperly associating their negative symptoms with the doxycycline. I've been taking one pill twice a day for the last 60 hours -- every time on an empty stomach -- and I've had absolutely no negative symptoms. Not even gastrointestinal. Been feeling better every day. The ones discouraging use are a loud minority"


"I have been on Nexplanon since June 2013. I bleed two to three weeks every month and have became extremely emotional and hormonal. My boyfriend wants me to get it removed and I am honestly thinking about it."


"I have been taking this pill for almost two weeks and it has increased my libido times 100 and I am feeling normal again... Not as many mood swings as before and no depression. I have increase G-spot sensation and feel amazing ... It will be nice to have my period only 4 times a year. I would recommend this to patients who have had difficulties with frequent UTIs and yeast infections due to the pill. I would never go back to Junel after this."


"My Saviour, Suffered severe anxiety panic attacks constantly for the last 4 wks heart racing trembling stomach, tried numerous meds citalapram, sertraline, prozac etc which all made my anxiety much worse. My dr prescribed 5mg twice daily of diazipam, morning & night I take 2.5mg in the evening a quarter in the morning & the other quarter in the afternoon so 5mg in all daily. It has instantly been a. lifesave and a wonder drug for me.  I don't plan on over doing it or staying on it for very long. but if anyone is suffering badly I would say there is no harm in giving it  a try. If you can -  the side effects from other meds I'd tried was horrific & with diazepam I've had non.  I hope this helps"


"I have had no side effects since being on Apri, which I switched to from a similar kind that wasn't covered by insurance."


"This medication killed my schizophrenia in two months. But I gained 20 pounds which is okay considering I was a little underweight. The worst side effect was that my eyes would not move. Finally a doctor told me to cut down my dosage from 10 mg to 5 mg and this lowered the occurence. When I lowered it to 2.5 mg the side effect completely went away. Now I feel great and the schizophrenia is still gone.

I recommend Zyprexa but the doctor has to be really careful with the dosage."


"Experiencing muscle pain and weakness, poor sleep quality, and general fatigue but not sure if these symptoms are from side effects of this med after a week and a half of using drops in eye. Also noticing some irritation and mental confusion post op. Is this common after cataract surgery? I feel vision adjustment issues might cause the vertigo & loss of muscular control I am also experiencing."


"I have needed to opiate meds to manage my pain control for many many years.  I have a clotting disorder that had caused high levels of pain for my entire life.  I can remember taking liquid TyCo at 9 or 10 prolly earlier.. Anyway, as a teen, I would use TyCo 3 or vicodin.  It go to a point where I needed way too many to adequately control my pain.  I was switched to OxyContin and had started taking 20mg 3 X day.  Over 8 years, increased to 80mg X 2 day with OxyCodone for breakthrough.  Eventually I was up to 100mg X 2 day.  Changes in providers caused me to change from OxyContin to Opana ER.  I have been started at 50mg X 2 day.  It is just enough to help and take the edge off, but it is no where near as effective (for me) than OxyContin is"


"I just got the generic brand of the monistat 1 it was like $20.  This is a very strong medication although it said one day, the instruction pamphlet said that complete relief will come in 7 days for most women. I applied the topical cream 3x a day, the cream did burn a little after immediate application but settled down
day 1 incredibly itchy, ice pack on lady bits, intense burn about 20 min after putting the oval capsule in, there was quite a bit of discharge from it. Day 2 a little bit better, not much. Day 3 itching is way less, small discharge, Day 4 & 5 not much change. Day 6 almost nothing, just super dry day 7 completely done, no itch no burn, still a little dry down there but overall a success. hang in there!"


"I have been using this for the redness of rosacea.  I don't really have bumps or acne from rosacea.   I've been using this twice a day for six months and still have flareups."


"I was on the Nuvaring and the Patch before that.  I had terrible moodswings, irregular bleeding and weight gain.  I have none of that with this pill.  I am 45 years old and having been using for over two years."


"I'm 43 with a life long history of bronchitis. When I get sick, I often find myself coughing until I vomit. I have been prescribed the "Z Pack" several times. I have found that, while it does ultimately take care of the bronchitis, it takes at least 7-8 days from the time I start the medicine until I begin to feel relief. In fact, during this current episode, my symptoms continued to worsen until today, which is the day I took the last pill. I don't yet feel any better, but today I am not getting any worse. This is consistent with each of the other times I have been prescribed this medication. I typically don't have major stomach issues while taking the medicine, but on occasion have had issues the first and second day."


"I was on Yaz for 8 months. My periods were lighter, shorter, and I had minimal spotting. I had cramps that only lasted for 30 min or so. I did experienced side effects though such as my boobs felt full and swollen. I gained some weight, had cravings for big meals, and became emotional at random times. Towards the end I experienced sharp pains in my boobs which resulted in finding benign cysts. A month after I got off of it I lost 10 lbs but had to get my gallbladder removed for stones & gallbladder disease. "


"I'm only on day 2 so my opinion might not be worth much.  But here's how I feel:  I take the pill at 9:30PM, its somehow preventing the Tylenol 3 I take for pain from working properly.  I feel really fresh in the morning, tired through the day and then ready to hit the bed at a normal time at night.  Overall so far, I like it.  I don't have PMDD or PCOS, my Doctor had me on Alesse because Tri Cyclen was causing me hives.  On the Alesse I realize I felt really anxious and didn't even consider it was the pill until I took Yaz.  Now I feel kind of relaxed and not concerned about everything being perfectly clean.  I'm also hoping for the weight loss and breast increase like others.  I'm 5"1 and just ballooned to 115lbs over summer BBQ's."


"Helps tremendously to focus and stay focused to get something finished vs 10 things started and nothing finished! There is a correlation between auditory processing disorder and ADHD/ADD. Many of us with ADHD/ADD have hearing issues, and "Intelligibility" is a HUGE issue when trying to learn.  Unfortunately, the so-called 'hearing tests' provided by schools are directed at deafness, not Intelligibility - if a student is unable to hear/understand words, than how much education "can/do" they actually receive?  Focalin has helped me with both, but I also required hearing aids - which wasn't done until I was 28 yrs old and "demanded" a full hearing test WITH a simple back-to-back repeating of similar sounding words, I only got 60% right. "


"I too was on Vagifem for about 1 1/2 years when my Insurance switched me to Yuvafem.  After 2 months I was getting a lot of Hot Flashes and the Vaginal dryness started to come back,   I did appeal to my Insurance Company and they just approved for me to get the Vagifem back instead.  I have a feeling my copay will go from $30. to $50. but it's worth it to get results.   I had no issues with insertion or anything like that but do believe either the pill dissolved too quickly or too slowly and that is why I was having my symptoms return"


"I have chronic headaches (>15 per month) and tried many treatments that did not help: Botox, Topamax, and others.  With zonisamide my headaches are mostly limited to just the week before my period."


"Stops a gout attack in its tracks, but it is essential to kick off with a large dose (600mg or greater) followed by regular low doses."


"I have overactive bladder & Incontinence really bad for being in my late 30's. I never thought a single patch for 24 hours could even function for my disfunctional bladder. I put it on for the first time after I showered before bed, waking up I didn't feel as full and didn't have to rush to the bathroom. During the day no leakage at all when I walk and no urge. I feel normal again. All I know whoever invented this is genius cause it is so nice to not wear pads, but please just reduce the price a bit."


"Probably worst experience of my life. I did like the convenience of the implant being in my arm and not having to remember to take a pill or have something up my vagina. However, nexplanon was NOT for me. I went through terrible mood swings (from being happy one moment to coming close to crying for no reason a few minutes later). My period was pretty much non-existent, which was something I was looking for in a birth control. But, I gained so much weight (accumulating nearly 30 lbs). No matter what I did to lose weight- which I did through working out at least an hour six days a week and cutting my caloric intake to less 1,200 a day- it still did not work. I am getting it removed tomorrow so I'm hoping I will be back to myself soon!"


"I was having symptoms of a UTI for a few weeks, so I finally went to the ER when the pain got worse, they gave me Bactrim. 2 days after taking it (twice a day) I got flu symptoms/ a cold. Today is my 5th day on it and I feel awful, shortness of breath, so so tired and I feel so nauseous. And I'm still having pain when I use the bathroom so I don't even think Its working. Going to call the doctor tomorrow, I won't be continuing this medicine."


"Watch out for sore red penis. It's a yeast infection because yeast thrives on sugar that is passing in your urine."


"This is extremely effective in preventing pregnancy. However the side effects are HORRIBLE. I have been on my period for most of this year. I got this in around the end of February beginning of March about two weeks later I started a full on period. It lasted for about THREE MONTHS, my doctor had to give me a prescription for it to stop. Then it stopped for about a month and started again and hasn't stopped since. That's another TWO MONTHS. I have been on my period for most of this year. This is not to mention the depression and 20 pound weight gain. "


"I started taking Cephalexin to prevent any bacterial infection before it got to any parts of my body. 500mg 4xday, 10 days. The underside of my right breast split and it was a mean-looking gash. Have no idea why it happened as I've never had any issues at all wearing my bras. And no. No underwires and have had them for years, again, without any issues. :) Doc took a culture and viola! I'm on pills that come out of a bottle that smells like someone trapped a fart in it. I ended up with diarrhea, at least 3 times a day and today, I am trying out a pro-biotic to see if that will help in any way. Good luck to the newly prescribed. Different for everyone. :)"


"Im 18 years old and even though I wasnt a sickle cell patient who had many pain crises , my doctor had still been suggesting me take hydrea since I will be starting college soon ( I guess just to be safe). Since taking it, I havnt had any severe pain crises, but I swear everyday it feels like my back is in a small pain crises. Which is scary because I never know if it's going to become a full blown crises. Im always having to take pain meds, or missing school because of this. Im thinking about if I should stop taking it for a while to see if the hydrea is whats causing this pain. because it can be my birthcontrol pills causing it but I highly doubt it. I wish there were more reviews on hydrea so I could know if it was just me."


"I have used this medication on several different occasions. Sometimes it burns uncontrollably bad and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it works well and clears everything up and sometimes it doesn't. With my experience and talking to doctors it's usually always better to use the longer treatments."


"The product, in conjunction with ibuprofen, helped ease the pain from a spot of edema in my fibula near my ankle, but is astronomically priced at $1200 for 60 capsules (it should be a crime to charge this much). Make sure it's in your insurance company's formulary before you consider taking it."


"Since I started this pill I've experienced; Seriously insane jump and change in my eating habits.
Lack of motivation to to do anything physical that I previously enjoyed.
And the worst symptom I've had has been the change in my mood. I have said and done some pretty horrible things that were unlike me. I felt extreme sadness and hopelessness. So bad that even others noticed these changes in me and it wasn't good.

I was prescribed this medication to help with excessive bleeding and cysts, however it no longer feels worth continuing this specific med."


"This is my third week on this brand. I'm really not too sure if I fully like it or not! I don't get as many headaches but I have been getting random body pains. I feel like when I get the smallest cuts I bleed more then normal. I can agree with some other reviews that I want sex more then normal and my breast feel very swollen and firmer then normal. I have noticed that if I take my pill at least an hour after the time I normally do I start to get such bad pains near my hips And its not a little, I mean sharp pain. I also have no interest in food at all since I have started this brand. When I do force myself to eat I personally eat almost three times less then I did before this pill"


"Dulcolax did me an injustice. I took 2 and after 11 hours I almost pass out with an excruciating abdominal pain associated with loose bowels. When the loose bowel had stopped for a few minutes, I had to lie on the floor because of the discomfort in my abdomen. Shortly after I had to rush again to the bathroom again and again with this horrific pain. I wish I didn't take this pill because its' side effect was too severe for me. I won't recommend it to anyone."


"I had my IUD inserted over 6 months ago. The insertion process was debilitating, the clamp slipped off my cervix THREE times. I had excruciating cramps the rest of the day which I medicated with Aleve and a heating pad. After that, no symptoms! No period! No spotting, no cramps, no headaches etc. etc. Until last week, I've started cramping and spotting REALLY dark blood. I'm having headaches and breaking out. I'm hoping this is temporary but I've struggled to find reviews from anyone who has had it in as long as me or longer. Fingers crossed it doesn't persist or get any worse!"


"week 1 shot low dose- GERD kicked in, not really hungry
week 2 shot, GERD worse, burping sulfur all day, still not hungry, nausea, tired all the time
week 3 shot maintenance dose- GERD all time horrible, sulfur burps, diarrhea, nausea, stomach pains, tired all the time, food is revolting
week 4 shot - wish I was dead. All the above now at the extreme -  plus now I'm vomiting, missed work because of it. I will not take it again. Will stick with metformin and start cinnamon again."


"I decided to give this drug a shot, but it just doesn't work and gave me very bad diarrhea. I am very disappointed."


"I'm 33 years old and have no reason to be low on energy and motivation.  In addition I had a slight depression and an inability to focus, like my head was in a fog.  Went to my doctor to find out what was wrong.  I wasn't on any other medications, I'm 5' 10" and 160 pounds and otherwise very healthy.  Dr told me to exercise more which I did but was so tired that I just couldn't do anything.  Went back to the dr. and he did a full blood work up.  Testosterone was 206 (350 - 1100 was normal at my lab) and he gave me 200mg/ml injection.  All symptoms were gone and my sex life has never been better. I feel like a new man, I had no idea just how much an effect my low T was having on my life.  This is my first injection."


"Love love love it! I got pregnant while using nuvaring so I wanted a bc that was much safer, well I found it!!! I hated it the first month but everything after that has been a breeze! 1000% worth it! I recommend to all my girlfriends"


"Was put on Generess Fe to regulate spotting I have had for 3 months(PCOS). Have been on it a month and it has been a horrible experience. I was surprised to see all the great reviews since I am having such trouble. I am a usually very happy person and have been extremely depressed, emotional(crying outbursts at ridiculous things), and irritable. Ive had headaches daily since Day 1. Spotting has gotten worse. Breasts are so tender and painful and horrible low back cramps during the 3rd week. Praying this is just because Ive been so long without a cycle(8 years and 1 month) and its just shocking my body. Doctor says it could take 3-4 months to regulate. Not sure I can handle that but willing to try."


"This medication changed my life! I'm 22 and had had acne for about 4 years. I had tried everything from OTC to home remidies to topical gels from my general doctor, but nothing worked. I finally went to the derm and he prescribed 100mg  twice a day. That was too much for my body and I got severe nausea, headaches, anxiety. I opted to only take one 100mg pill every night and within three weeks I saw drastic changes! Now 3 months in I have no live breakouts just a couple scars!"


"When I first used this, I thought this was a miracle eye drop. My eyes were fully red, bloodshot, and 1 minute after I dropped the medication in my eye, I was shocked to see fast my eyes looked normal."


"Next month will be the 3 years. Iv'e been bleeding every month and in between months. Its been a night mare."


"Like a lot of other women here, I opted for Nexplanon to save money and avoid worry over forgetting to take the pill every night. However, within a week of getting the implant I started bleeding. I went to my doctor to get low level hormonal birth control to stop the bleeding, as was recommended in the Nexplanon manual. The bleeding stuck around through 2 months of pills and was accompanied by mood swings (which to be honest could have been due to the several month long period). Sure, it was effective birth control, but it's not hard to avoid pregnancy when an 8 month long period severely limits opportunities to actually get pregnant. All in all, I am back on the pill and much happier."


"Going on 2 months now. I had 16 days of extremely heavy bleeding with heavy clotting. I have PCOS and would have some crazy abnormal period but never with severe cramping and clotting. I went through a regular tampon in 1 hour and about 45 overnight pads in that 16 days.  My left breast is considerably more tender at all times and I have random spotting and cramps almost every day. I'll be calling my doc to tell her I'm going off of this pill. I won't make it to the third month. I'd rather use condoms (and I hate condoms)."


"I am a new person after taking this. I can live and not be in constant despair. It did take a while to work and together with praying the rosary, I have finally reached a state of contentment."


"I've been on Methotrexate for 9 months now 20mg once a week with 2 folic acids 2 days later my problem is that whilst the med is working its playing havoc on my liver I've had to come off it as my LFT results were constantly increasing then suddenly doubled. She asked me to have a Biopsy of my liver to work out if it is defiantly the Methotrexate or something else I guess this is what I need to do now. I've finally got myself down to 5mg Prednisone and now the Rheumo has said stop Mtx and see how you go if we need to we can up the Pred I don't want to up the Pred I eat like a horse and put so much weight on I'm hoping theres something else out there that will help me. Already tried Sulfazasaline and got a rash and other side effects."


"This medication is very activating without making me anxious. I take it for depression, but I also have general anxiety disorder, and OCD. I was a little worried about taking it at first because one of the side effects indicated that it could make anxiety worse, but I didn't have that problem at all. It definitely helps with depression and lifting my mood. It's not a "happy pill," but it is good with getting and keeping you going and not letting depression ruin you and keep you from doing what needs to be done and living your life."


"Cipro stopped my prostatitis on two occasions but it blew out my knee once and my achilles tendon with tendonitis and took over six months to recover. Additionally I ended up with ulceratice colitis. This time I had diverticulitis concomitant with prostatitis so I took MMS  three drops with 8 ounces of water and within 2 hours the pain completely stopped. By the next day  I wasn't having to get up six times a night to pee.  The medical profession is terrified of the stuff but if you do the proper research you will see it is not what they say it is. I have a background in medical research and it is clearly misrepresented something else by all of its naysayers.  I saw the same opposition with  oxidative therapies but they work."


"I have used Synvisc it for 7 years (getting injections every 6 months) and my doctor said I could be the poster child for the treatment. It held off my knee replacement by at least 5 years. I'd recommend it to anyone"


"I am totally happy with getting mine done! I have not had a period at all since getting it done in January 2015. I would recommend you having pains meds readily available before and after getting it done. It does hurt. I have some cramping every once in a while. But totally love it!"

"I've been on a clear liquid diet all day with not much going in my system other than water. Started taking suprep at 6pm and it had a very pungent artificial flavor that coats the inside of your mouth. The first bottle was okay for me. I very quickly got sleepy and slept for about an hour before waking up to use the bathroom. Before I knew it I was passing only a yellow liquid... If only the second bottle went the same way. After only drinking half of it at 4am I threw it all up, and the sputum only tasted like spicier suprep. I'm begrudgingly trying to finish the second bottle... Colonoscopy in 3 hours. Wish me luck!"


"The first couple times I took it was fine, the sign effects were minimal. I stopped using it for a few months and I went back to it and this time was the worst one, I took it June and by August my period had already begun, it came with bad acne, I gained weight super fast, and since then I've had my period! It horrible I feel tired all the time,and cramping for 6 weeks now it feels like it's never going to end!"


"I've suffered from IBS-C for a few years now. Normally Miralax does the trick but can take a few days. I decided to try MC, drank the full 10oz of the grape flavor thinking I had to. Should have stopped at 1/3 of the bottle. Any who, drank it from 7:45-9:30pm after puting it in the freezer for 30 minutes. Didn't feel much right away and thought it didn't work. That's until my stomach started gurgling. Then came the pains and a lot of bloating. Holy batman, the pains! Still nothing came out after an hour filled with multiple tries. Laid down hoping to sleep through the discomfort. Was awaken at 4am and sprinted to the bathroom. It worked. It's still working 8 hours later! Solution is VERY effective, may take a few hours to kick in."
