"Been on this one or Gildess 21 day, for almost five years. I didn't feel a difference between Gildess and this. I love how this regulates my periods. I always know when the first day is coming, and the cramps and heavy bleeding only last one day, on the first day, when they lasted longer before the pill. I will say, I have forgotten to take the pill until the next day and felt fine (would still use backup birth control) but the one day I lost the pill and didn't take it at all, I got a massive migraine a couple days later. Probably something to do with the hormones. If you have some anxiety on it, try daily vitamin B. It helped me a bit, although I know that isn't the definitive answer for everyone. Overall, I would suggest this pill."


"I had a very positive experience with NuvaRing. The only birth control that I had zero side effects from, never got pregnant. I stopped using it due to financial reasons and my insurance wouldn't cover it. It was super convenient and I highly recommend it.

As far as the horror stories - all birth control methods which involve hormones can have serious serious side effects. It's all about finding what dosage and specific form of the hormone is best for you. Any RX carries a risk, all of our bodies are different."


"I have now been on Saxenda for approx. 4 months, since 11-2015, I lost 12 lbs, its slow, but it definitely is working. I first started off on 0.6 then in 30 days I went to 3.0 mg it definitely suppress your hunger and best of all for the first time, My A1C went for 6.3 to 5.8. This was very drastic for me because I have been over 6.0 for 10 yrs... Saxenda is a great medicine,,I think I reached a plateau because I have not lost any weight in the past 3 weeks,but the flip side, I haven't gained any extra weight either. so I am just waiting for another 3 months to check my A1C levels again,hopefully I will start losing again..... I will keep you posted"


"This drug is exceptional.  For those who give it 1 star because they felt weak or dizzy I bet they need to simply reduce the dose.  I only need 10mg/day to drop my bp from 155/90 to 120/70.  Don't just trust the docs and take 40 or 80mg because this is a new drug and they don't know how to dose it yet.  The trick is to keep lowering the dose until your bp begins to move up from the ideal.  Many people here probably only need 20mg/day or maybe just 10mg for it to work."


"Works great for me"


"I don't normally do any "social media" reviews - only if something is really bad or really good.  Well, Soolantra is really "good"!  Have been on Oracea for almost two years and it is doing what it can, and I'm happy with it.  However, my Dr. added Soolantra four months ago to use daily.  Well .... what a difference this had made.  My face is soft, the white and blackheads are basically gone.  Would highly recommend - give it a month and you will see and feel the difference.  Has helped with the redness of nose and face as well."


"It didn’t cause any side effects, and, more important, I’m not dead. That’s pretty good."


"The thing about birth control is that it affects everyone differently. Everyone has a different experience with different birth controls, because all of our bodies and personalities are different.  While some birth controls do contain similar stories, and that is a good indicator, it is truly a different experience for each individual, so try and find one what fits you best, you might have to test a couple out."


"Not a lot of side effects compared to other birth controls I have been on. Breasts have gotten quite big and heavy, not a fan of this but the boyfriend is. I'm starting month 3 and last period came a day after stopped taking active pills, first month on it didn't start until I started active pills again so my body is adjusting well. All in all its the best pill I have taken. I much prefer the copper IUD but have a bicornuate uterus so cannot use IUD. "


"Toviaz worked very well for the first few weeks, but then started losing its effectiveness.  I used to wake up 10 times a night to use the bathroom and now I get up around 5 times a night.  It causes dry mouth (which is especially bad during the night) and also makes me tired.  Also, the best insurance plans typically won't cover this medication (I pay $70 for one month supply)."


"Sooo, I only had the shot once I first got it on the 2nd day of my period at the end of June. My period continued regularly then the whole month of July I didn't get a period then at the end of August I started bleeding it's now the beginning of September and I'm still bleeding (3weeks) I'm due to go back sept 15 to get the shot but  I'm kinda reconsidering."


"Switched to Latuda after suffering a full manic episode.  Works so much better than Depakote.  No real side effects.  Works very well at helping to control my mood-swings and manic energy.  Everyone including myself cant believe how well it works for me."


"I have arthritis in my neck, back and knees I also have chronic pain from repeated abdominal surgeries, I have muscular pain too. Voltaren emulgel is amazing. My son played hockey to a Jr A level and had to quit due to chronic knee pain from arthritis (he is only 23) and it has helped us both a great deal. We have had no side effects and we use it for major flare-ups as it is not intended for long term daily use. We each get a big tube, even though some might find it pricey, you don't have to use a lot it lasts a long time. The relief it provides is priceless. You should not take it with oral anti-inflammatories and ask a doctor before use if you have any medical conditions and/or take medications (even natural remedies). Great product."


"Chantix worked great for trying to quit smoking, up until the time you stop taking it. That's when I really noticed the depression. That was 3 years ago. Since than I started smoking and have attempted to quit again using chantix, now the depression and suicidal thoughts start after about day 3. I have done this trial about 5 times because I thought maybe the depression came because I was already depressed and it just intensified it, but after 5 times I am 100% convinced it's the medicine.

Please be careful when taking this medication. Have someone you trust keep a watchful eye on your moods, sometimes your mood will change gradually and may not be evident the toll the medicine is taking. Watch for sadness, isolation, anger/rage suicide"


"I was getting 18 migraines a month and it was too much to handle. I was put on another antidepressant and that sent them down to 2/3 a week. After starting Elavil, I get around 4 a month!! What an improvement!"


"If you have been struggling with unsuccessful medications for years, you need to go get genetic testing. Do it. This is a fairly recent development which I just found out about two months ago, after taking various medications for depression and anxiety for 15 years. My genetic test results indicate that I have 4 gene mutations that make the use of SSRIs and SNRIs ineffective. And of course, those are the medications I have been taking since the onset of my depression.
So I am making the switch to Trintellix. Too early to say if this will be the right medication for me, but it is a comfort to know I am at least now working with my genetics instead of against them.
Genetic testing is not the silver bullet, but it is valuable data. Do it."


"I have tried numerous sleep aids, from natural, over the counter,  to prescribed, and this one by far works the best for me. I was prescribed 25mg to take at bed. It does help me fall asleep a little faster, because it helps my brain "shut off", and it definitely helps me sleep better. I still wake up through out the night, but not as much, and falling back asleep is a lot easier. It does make me feel slightly groggy in the morning, and I am having slight dry mouth. The benefit outweighs the side effects for sure. I've tried Trazodone, and that didn't help at all, and experienced the rare side effect of painful erection...that was awful."


"I will be starting my 4th round next week of Xeloda (generic).  I have stage 4 breast cancer that I have been battling for over 6 years.  Tumor spread to the liver, some sort of tumors near my kidney pressing my urethra, and pleurisy.  I was losing 1 to 2 lbs a day.

This is only my third therapy in all those years.  My first round was 4,000 mg per day for 14 days.  We had to adjust as the pain in my feet became horrific after a week.  I am now taking 3,000 mg per day for 7 days on; 7 days off.

I am no longer losing weight so we know the xeloda is probably working on the liver.  The pleural area is not refilling (had surgery); kidney was saved with stents.

Please do not be quick to jump to another drug (only when they stop working)."


"I have three damaged disc's in my lower back. Doctors wanted to remove. I refused and started out on 120 Lortabs per month. That was increased by the additional 120 tabs of 15 mg oxycodone per month. My life was consumed by pain so bad I could could hardly get out of bed or walk. 6 months later I was prescribed an additional 60 30 mg of Morphine. Needless to say I am no longer in any pain, I was nodding out everywhere. I took morphine for a year. Detox wasn't fun and it's worst if you are a weak junkie. I took oxycodone for another year. My doctor suggest Fentanyl. It changed my life."


"Hello Everyone

I thought I would get on as much as I can to assist people with making the right decision. I am now on week 3 2 am 1 pm or noon. I still have no side effects. I have experienced headaches but they didn't stay long. I am down 7 lbs. I still eat sweets but not the entire thing, its always a portion. If I drink juice I dilute it with water and it has assisted me with making the right choice. So today instead of having both a brownie and a small piece of bread I just had the small roll and instead of having the pasta I just choose to have meat and a salad. Here is a tip I started taking it after my meal but now I take it with either apple sauce if I am not hungry at the time or yogurt. it allows me to wait a little longer to eat"


"I started taking this pill and about a week in my headaches were unbearable and then tonight I have vomited every 20 mins for hours. Definitely not recommend"


"Holy moly...I started looking this up after having intense burning this morning after taking this medication last night.  I'm headed to sit in a baking soda bath while my husband runs to the store to talk to the pharmacist. AVOID THIS MEDICATION!!!"


"Just switched from the Nuva-ring because it was giving me horrible hormone headaches. Been slightly nauseous switching back to an oral pill. Only thing to note is super intense nipple sensitivity. Ow!  Hope it subsides soon."


"I've had the Mirena for 5 years. I'm having it takin out next month. I've really enjoyed having this birth control. For one it was very effective and I didn't have to remember to take a pill. The only thing I have bad to say about the Mirena is it did cause cyst which was very painful at times and as I've read all the reviews not one person mentioned discharge. It causes you to "leak". Its perfectly normal.  But to me was gross. And it was a lot! I can say my sex drive has decreased in the last year to where I don't want it at all. Other than that it has been great! Getting it put in didn't really hurt I just felt pressure.  Hope this helps!"


"I have been on this pill for a month and half now. I have experienced an increase in my eating, I have been getting dizzy for a few minutes, and a rash of whitish pimples on my chest and on my forearm that I have never had before. I haven't experienced any bleeding or any period at all which is good because my periods were pretty bad. I just hope these side effects go away."


"I smoked for 20 years. I tried everything, zyban, patches, gum, hypnosis, vaping, etc. I had no problem making it a few days and a few times I even lasted a month, but I could never make it stick. I thought I could never quit. Chantix worked. Don't get me wrong, the side affects are awful. I had horrible, vivid nightmares. It also gave me painful stomach cramps and made me nauseous with the first 30 minutes of taking them (I found that taking the pills with a glass of milk helped). I'm glad I stuck with it though. I ended up taking the pills for about 3 months. Stopped smoking about 1 week in. It has now been almost 2 years smoke free. I still have the occasional craving ( maybe once a week) but they pass within a few minutes."


"I just started the patch 2 weeks ago & About 4 days ago I started getting unbearable cramps, that last about 5 minutes, every 20 minutes or so. I have never been in this much pain. I finally took it off & The cramps stopped about an hour later. Not using this ever again."


"I've been on Topamax since March 2009. I've lost 75 of the 110 pounds I need to lose. The side effects are annoying and, in the beginning I really wanted to quit the medication. But as I've lost the weight, I've actually been able to decrease the dosage so a lot of the side effects have decreased as well. Some of them are easier to live with than others. The paresthesia has mostly subsided, but I do still struggle with memory lapses. I quit drinking all carbonated beverages because I do not like the way they taste. That has probably helped with the weight loss anyway. Overall, I am quite pleased. I am also pleased to read that others have been able to maintain their weight on this drug."


"I have been taking Vyvanse for 4 years now and I have been on the same dose of 30mg for severe ADHD. A lot of people have trouble staying on the same dose and need to increase because they get used to the drug. Just a tip: take as needed and when you feel the effects wearing off? Drink a one-shot espresso drink NOT an energy drink. Overall, if you are looking for a good ADHD medication I would recommend either Focalin OR Vyvanse. Best of luck!"


"Since I've had this inserted, I've had bleeding/spotting for 13 months. When I first had it put in a year and a half ago, I had my period for 6 months straight. It is effective when it comes to avoiding pregnancy."


"I got this inserted on December 8th 2011, switched from Mononessa (the pill). On the 10th started a weird brown discharge until the 14th when it switched to a regular period which wasn't heavy at all. That period lasted until the 20th, and then I had the discharge for another 2 days. Ever since I haven't had cramping, mood changes, weight gain, acne..anything, and it's been a month from insertion. I could be jinxing it but so far its amazing. I even got my sex drive back.

When I got this I was wondering if weight had anything to do with how well it worked for your body. I'm 5'6, and 105 pounds. Maybe the Implanon is more potent in my body since I'm smaller."


"I've been taking low dose adipex for about 2 weeks now. I am 5'7" and started around 165 lbs. I haven't been taking adipex regularly as I am a nurse and work rotating shifts and it suppresses my appetite so much that when I want to go out for nice meals/ enjoy weekends I also don't take it. I have not experienced any jitters or vision effects but I am much more focused and have much more sustained energy that I actually save them for night shifts. I eat like a toddler being constantly on the go and rarely have time for the gym. I do however spend 36-48 hours on my feet running around at work. So far without any effort I am down 7-8 lbs. I highly recommend this and I'm sure results would be exaggerated diet & exercise."


"I have smoked since I was 12, quit from the age of 15-16 and started smoking again. I am

currently 37. In the summer on a nice day sitting outside I could blow through 4 packs, winter 3 packs. I literally could suck down an entire cig in 3 minutes. I know two packs a day is considered a heavy smoker, 4 is death. I couldn't stop.

Today is day 11 of Chantix and I am down to 1 cig a day. The medicine literally doesn't allow you to find any enjoyment in smoking. It tastes different, feels different and you do not get the blood stream satisfaction like you once did. People, if this medication can make me not enjoy a cig trust me when I say it's a miricle drug. I intend on writing the makers a

thank you e-mail."


"No more grand mal seizures."


"I did not have any negative side effects from Fetzima, and it is the first things that has worked for me. Do not drink alcohol when taking this at all; I did and it made me feel extremely depressed. I actually feel like a person now, and I have so much more energy."


"I took this for about 2 1/2 years in my early 30's and it work amazing! If I even missed a single dose I was up with horrible acid problems during the night.
I do highly recommend it but also consider Fundoplication Surgery for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. I had this done about 10 years ago and since then my GERD is completely gone and I have no need for the Prevacid at all anymore.
I eat and enjoy spicy foods never have an issue. Both Prevacid and the surgery changed my life!"


"I was diagnosed with Pseudotumor Cerebri a little over 2 months ago, after many visits to doctors, nurses and hospitals. Then an amazing neurologist who finally gave me an answer as to what was causing all my problems. I have since had 2 spinal taps and have another still to come she is looking at doing bi-weekly. but since starting this medication. I have regained most of my vision, I had lost most of. I do miss my coffee but tea still is ok. I have an allergy to the pills so I take medication to stop the hives and itching and sometimes the pins and needles in my legs bring me to tears. My face tingling makes me giggle the twitching in my face does drive me crazy, but really its all better then going blind or getting the shunt."


"Saved my life when I had a bacterial pneumonia."


"First 10 days were brutal. STICK THEM OUT! Lots of people seem to have an initial period of getting used to this drug. My first 10 days I was unable to eat, nausea, anxiety increased to a point I was barely able to leave the house, crying for no reason. Just stick it out. Day 10 through about 6 weeks I noticed not much improvement. At about 6 weeks I noticed improvement in my anxiety, able to function much better. My anxiety disorder has only improved more and more since I've been on this drug (also seeing a therapist for anxiety). Just know there may be an initial period of terrible side effects. I've gained like 2 lbs, but it's due to being happier & having a new boyfriend because I am finally able to function as a normal person."


"I've been on Lo Loestrin Fe for 2 years now and it worked great for about a year. Before the pill, I had horrible periods. Heavy bleeding for 5 days, cramps that shot down into my feet, nausea to the point of vomiting, etc. The first few months on the pill were bad, but I waited it out like my doc said to. Then I adjusted. I had lighter periods and my cramps were not so bad for the first year or so. But, the past few months my periods have been awful. I get cystic acne around my period that lasts forever, which I have never had before. Recently, I've started having two periods a month that last 5 days. I'm not bleeding heavy but the cramps are awful. Basically, it worked great for a year and now it sucks."


"The cost of this medication is $721.25 per month this is absolutely crazy.  The prescription card that was supplied was supposed to assist with the cost for 12 weeks at $25.00 I was definitely bamboozled.  Will not be purchasing this overly priced medication."


"It's a terrible drug. It has done so much damage to my body, physically, mentally, emotionally, it's disturbing. If anyone reads this, and is deciding whether or not to go onto Methadone, don't do it. You're better off doing heroin, Oxycontin, morphine, seriously! I am at 60mg now but was at 30mg 2 months ago and felt worse than I did going through heroin withdrawal. I'm well addicted to the methadone, but I'm trying so hard to get off it, but having mental health problems makes 1000000x worse. Do not get on methadone, suboxone or any opioid replacement drug they destroy you more than anything else does."


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


"Had the implanon for almost 3 years now. First 2 months I was super hormonal, but after that I haven't had a period for 3 years (good since I have endometriosis). Doesn't hurt, and really easy form of birth control. I plan to get another inserted when this is removed."


"My experience with accutane was for the most part very positive. I suffered from breakouts on my forehead that wouldn’t go away no matter what I tried. I had taken various kinds of birth control over the years to help with my break outs but by the age of 20 it wasn’t helping with my acne at all anymore. The first week or so of taking accutane I got what looked to be a rash on my whole face that was hot to the touch and sore. I felt like I had alligator skin! The rash went away though within a week or two and then the dry skin started but it was nothing I couldn’t keep on top of. I used a vitamin e cream to keep it hydrated. I only did one round of medication and it seemed to do the trick. The dry skin is so worth it!!! My skin is beautiful!"


"I have been taking one 10 mg spansule and one 5 mg tablet in the morning and same dose at lunchtime for over ten years (since I was diagnosed with Narcolepsy). It has been a life saver for me.  Keeps me alert while driving. I was told by several Doctors over the years to STOP taking it because I would need more and more of it as time went on. My dose has always been the same and I sometimes don't take all of that. My neurologist has recently started me on Nuvigil and since that may work by itself I have decided to taper myself off the Dexedrine to see if the Nuvigil may be all I need. So far no problems. I agree with comment that Dexedrine has an un-deserved bad rep. "


"At my doctor's visit on May,21 2017 I was told I have a high blood pressue and high cholestrol and weight 171 lbs. I'm only 29yrs old and 5'3". I then told my doctor that I want to lose weight. She prescribed me phentermine 30mg, which I take Monday to Friday. After 2 weeks, I'm down to 161lb, lost 10 lbs. I'm excited to see my next result.I feel active and full of energy .My mouth gets dry most of the time so I always carry my water bottle with me. The bad thing about it that I noticed is I'm always mad all the time even with just little things.But...this thing works and I love the changes with my weight loss."


"I started Adipex two days ago. I'm 21 years old 5' tall and weigh 158lbs. According to my BMI and my doctors visit I am at the breaking point of obesity. I have had many struggles in the past with getting back to my goal weight of 105-110 and decided to give Adipex a shot. Obesity runs in my family and I hope to stop the cycle. I haven't had any side effects so far except for occasional dry mouth so I just drink water which is good anyway. I have had a great experience so far with increased energy and a suppressed appetite. I want to keep up with at least exercising for 30min a day and eating better and hopefully I will see results at the end of month one. I want to be at my goal weight which is a loss of about 50lbs in around 8 months. Wish me luck!"


"I just got my second nexplanon placed 2 days ago. This birth control is definitely different for everyone. I have heard that some girls hate it or they love it. In my case I loved it. When I first got it placed I had little spotting here and there, I stopped getting a regular period. I did not gain weight, no acne issues nor mood swings. Also very effective with preventing pregnancy."


"I cannot believe the relief I have had by taking this drug ! My last 9 months have been hell, almost constant migraine pain or pressure most days . Amitrptyline has made me my old self again."


"I took Claritin on two occasions to alleviate stuffy head colds and runny nose.  I took 2 pills, one each on successive days about a month apart, and a day after taking them experienced both times a bloody nose.  I am an older adult and haven't had a bloody nose since I was a child."


"I had been suffering with sciatica for a number of years, when it suddenly worsened.  I started getting shooting pains and severe weakness in both of my legs.  After one dose of 500mg I was able to sit comfortably and walk without the worry of one of my legs giving out from under me"


"Works well for my nerve pain."


"I've been taking urso for 6 years. My blood levels are now in check. Original biopsy showed stage 4-5 liver damage. Found when I had gall bladder removal surgery."


"I've been using for about 2 weeks now, I have warts right by vaginally entry and surrounding lips. First week I didn't really feel much difference but now I am in SO much pain from the burning! Going to the toilet and sitting down without screaming in pain are my biggest challenges...rightly or wrongly I've read other' stories, as well as a dermatologist article who all infer burning means it's working (for those that don't know it is a chemical burn cream, that's how it gets rid of the warts). I haven't stopped using it as the warts are going, but if anyone can offer ways to relive the pain and confirm I'm still going to have a fully functioning vagina at the end of this (laugh, you have to with these things!) I'd be super grateful!..."


"I started taking Prozac 9 weeks ago after Mirtazapine stopped working. I was suffering with bad OCD, anxiety and panic attacks on a daily basis.

When I first started on the medication, I thought it would be a miracle drug, however the side effects were horrendous. For 7 solid weeks I was a mess, I was depressed (I dont even suffer with depression) I was crying at my desk all the time, I had horrible thoughts, crippling anxiety, would not leave my house or talk to anyone the only thing that would get me through the day was Diazapam.

I am on 40mg and after 7 weeks it was like a light turned on and I have been 'normal' for 2 weeks straight, I am so happy I stuck with it. I know it's hard but trust me it's worth it."


"My 2nd breast cancer 8/16, 1st 2005 DCI stage 1 Rt. breast. 2nd in left breast. It is primary, not metastatic but due to the large size tumor, Surgeon wants to shrink tumor to try a lumpectomy.

On Femara 2 months and feeling very blessed. Sonogram follow up shows tumor shrinking and this allows me the holidays with family before surgery.

I have the typical side effects; joint pain, daily hot flashes, nightly sweats, (fans everywhere, portable in my purse) some hair thinning so I keep in double braids to save vacuum & shower drains.  I can't walk far at one clip due to fatigue so use a walker with seat to allow daily exercise. Changed diet & losing weight. Grateful for medication & will keep taking as long as tumor is shrinking."


"Day two and no side effects. Glad to skip the headaches. My appetite has almost gone away and eating is not as enjoyable. Hopefully this keeps up. "


"It worked for me, I had 5-6 days to go to the toilet, due to stress, depression and bad nutrition. I took 2 pills at 12:00 noon, and the effects started after 5-6 hours, it was ok, and went 4 times to the toilet, normally. No pains, just the normal frustration and a headache. No dizziness, no diarrhea. During these 5 hours, I also drank much water to help the situation. In the past 6 days I almost didn't have meals for the 3 days, (I was sad for being fired). I guess this is psychological. I read many panic comments by other people, saying about strong pain, cold sweats, diarrhea, dizziness, and feeling near to pass out. I had these effects with Laxatol laxative toffees when I was young, so I knew about them all."


"Imitrex helped with my migraines but made me nauseous."


"I almost stopped taking this because the first couple of weeks were pretty bad. I was really down, anxious, short, and hungry.  I decided to try taking it at night instead of the morning because that's what my sister's doctor told her to do. What a difference. I just started my 2nd month and feel normal again. I don't know if it's because I take it at night or because my body is used to it. Either way it's good so far. I did gain 5 pounds but it's definitely because like I said, I was really hungry."


"I've been on alesse for 2 months now, going on my third month. This pill is not so bad, no weight gain/ acne/ or mood swings. But I'm experiencing chronic fatigue on this pill, when I am on my period week I feel soo much better. Everything else is really great, but I'm not sure how much longer I will stay on this. I can't live my life with exhaustion it makes me lose desire for things I normally love, coffee fixes it a little but it is still there, I would rather have the old me back, or maybe switching my birth control? But it's a good birth control other than that ( you will find nothing perfect out there)"


"Been taking this for 4 months.  Having joint pain and abdominal issues.  Going to take a break to see how if it gets better.  Used to take Lipitor without issues."


"I am an RN in the over 65 population, and used Prevident 5000 Plus for 3 months.  I had to discontinue it due to sensitivity, noted to be a higher risk in my age group.  The sensitivity wasn't immediate, but gradual, with increasing tongue and throat soreness and GI upset over time, until it reached a level that could not be ignored.  In the 36 hours since discontinuing it, the discomfort has reduced considerably, so it seems to be the culprit.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to tolerate this long enough to judge its effectiveness for prevention."


"I have been taking this medication for years for chronic pain. It has helped me get my life back. I manage it well.  I do not have addictive tendencies so I have not had problems. I am aware that I would have to step down slowly if I stopped taking this medication. Oxycontin has helped me deal with pain so I can take care of my family and hold down a job while dealing with painful osteoarthritis in my back, neck and hips."


"I have been using Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 2 and a half years. Have experienced racing heart, panic attacks constant mood swings. I get upset and cry over something little, gained about 4 pounds, boobs did get bigger though and I haven't become pregnant, so that's a plus."


"I have tried everything the only one that really helped me after I lost hope
The doctors don't give it to you because its an old medication, the patent is over and the big pharmaceutical companys don't make any money.
But believe me it is the best give it 2 month chance."


"I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis and my gynaecologist initially recommended the Mirena to help manage it. The inserting process was impossible and so dismissed. Next up was the patch... Worst decision of my life. Nausea, vomiting, extreme fatigue.. That lasted me 3 days. Next up was the Nuva Ring. I'm going into my third week and so far it's doing better than anything else I've tried. My side effects are awful headaches and cramps here and there. Other than that I feel perfectly fine. If the headache gets bad I simply use a pain killer and voila! I'll definitely recommend to anyone that can't use a high dose contraceptive like me. I think the low dose in the ring could make a huge difference. Can't knock it till you try it!"


"I've been titrating up on Buspar after going off of Xanax last year and then starting up with 5mg fluoxetine and 10mg doxepin. So far, this is working far more gently than the xanax. I don't have a zap of relief following by impending panic attacks within hours. I am much more level. I am having side effects of nausea, dizziness, and light-headedness for a few days after each increase in dosage. I'm up to 20mg 3x a day and I'm supposed to sit tight here so I'm hoping to be done with the side effects soon and get into a stable state. I had a ton of problems with withdrawal from the benzos so I don't want to go back to them; buspirone has been a great alternative so far. My anxiety is so bad that I'd rather be dizzy and nauseated than anxious"


"Hasn't caused many problems for me. May have made me get more pimples than usual but nothing horrible, no bad breakouts, etc. My sex drive is still healthy. My weight is easier to maintain and there has been no hunger increase. Also my periods are a lot shorter, going from about 3 days of moderate-heavy flow and 3 days of spotting-"pantyliner" flow to about 1 day of heavy flow to 1 day of "pantyliner" flow and can always be predicted within 2 days after I stop taking the hormone pills. I really don't have much to complain about this pill."


"Taking for GERD after throat surgery. Has quelled my heartburn more effectively than any OTC I've taken in years. Most noticeable side effects are constant, constant gas (!!!) and lots of stomach growling if I hold it in. Feel like I'm having more frequent and more urgent BM's as well. Also, an expensive med! That being said, it works well."


"Honestly, I haven't had any trouble with Lyza. I did get some slight nausea the first two week of taking it, and my boobs where sore for the first two months but they also grew to a nice handful - I had rather small boobs before, so it was a nice perk. Since then I haven't had any trouble in the last four months of taking it. I've tried to take other pills before, but I have chronic GI problems and the estrogen always made me super sick. I can't afford to not be able to tell if I'm vomiting due to my GI problems or my pill, seeing as one could be harmless while the other could potentially - in an extreme - kill me.  So my doctor recommended I get on a progesterone only pill.
Over all, my experience with Lyza has been good despite a bad rap"


"OMG took 2 pills at 6pm woke up at 2:30am and thought I was dying from the cramps. I spent about an hour rocking back and forth on the toilet and nothing happened for about 45 minutes. But the cramping, faint feeling and nausea were so unbearable I was crying for my mom. I have never had cramping so bad... definitely NOT gentle or subtle, it got the job done but I will never take it again."


"I was in a car accident in April and have been dealing with moderate back pain since then. Today, I'm being medi-evacuated from my ship (in the navy) back to the States for an unrelated issue, and I asked about something for the pain while I'm on the plane. This is amazing. I feel nothing and I haven't been able to get rid of the pain until now. "


"I was diagnosed with UC and had my first flare up in March and suffered greatly. Lialda, Budesonide, and Rowasa made everything worse for me and caused inflammation in my pancreas. I was hospitalized and put solely on prednisone and saw immediate relief of all symptoms. This steroid gave me my life back, albeit with unfortunate side-effects (acne, mood swings, depression). I started with just 30 mg and have tapered down to 5 mg and hope to be free of it in a week or two. I am thankful for prednisone and wish I would have been on it from the onset."


"Am now on Skelaxin 800mg. Flexeril wasn't as good as Skelaxin for me."


"Ok,

so.. first month I had no issues. I gained a couple pounds, but nothing noticeable. I got a light period the first month, so no problems there.

The main reason I wanted to post here is because I have a slight condition called TMJ. It has to do with clicking in your jaw. Anyways.. the past few days I started having pain in my jaw when I open my mouth and its terrible. I actually found an article someone else wrote saying they had the same experience when they first started a birth control. Apparently estrogen can change the way females "perceive pain" as the article says. Anyways I am going to stop this pill in hopes that the pain will go away. If anyone else has experienced this it would be good to note it so others are aware."


"I had side effects from other anticonvulsants including Tegretol and Depakote. I have had absolutely no side effects from Lamictal and it has controlled my seizures for several years now."


"Keeps skin moist and keeps from cracking, but does nothing to reduce other symptoms."


"I am 35 and my blood pressure was 178/148 (for unknown reason I am not overweight or have heart problems). Doctor gave me lisinopril 20 twice a day. I have been taking it for 2 months. My blood is now 140/100. Little less than at the beginning but I think I will need some other dosage or different drug. So far no side effects."


"I lost 3 years of my life on this medication. My blood pressure was controlled but I had chest pain, I could not think properly, I could not sleep, I had severe fatigue, I could not function. My wife thought I was just lazy. Lucky I found someone else on the internet with similar symptoms and persuaded the doctor to change medications. After going on Karvea I got my life back. I hope this can help someone else who is suffering on Micardis."


"I had the same bad experience with reglan. Tried it two times. Second time was by mistake because the specialist prescribed it and I didn't remember the drugs name. I have been suffering from bad acid reflux and gastritis so my physician prescribed it the first time. I took it and it was horrible! I wanted to literally jump out of the roof. Nothing was making me stay still. Is hard to explain feeling but is basically not able to sit still and even if you try to move, you still feel the horrible feeling. Nothing stops it. I didn't know about antidote so I have to endure it TWICE all by my own. My Doctor already placed this drug on my hospital's profile as if I was allergic for just in case. Is a "rare" side effect and we got unlucky :("


"Pulled muscles in lower back from lifting on delivery route. Needed meds I could take during the day while driving. One 50mg in the am with 2 Advil liquidgels & I'm pain free all day. Best side effect has been the clarity to mental processes. Like a cloud has been lifted & my concentration dramatically increased. Focus like I've never experienced before & general attitude improvement. Worse side effect is the occasional constipation but that's what prunes are for. This is my "Limitless" pill from the movie"


"I took Myrbetriq for 4 months for treatment of severe overactive bladder.  It helped me only slightly and the side effects for me would have caused me to stop taking it even if it had been 100% helpful.  It immediately spiked my blood pressure to an average of 180/110 and my blood pressure returned to normal as soon as I stopped taking it.  It also caused me bladder pain which I can best describe as feeling like my bladder was filled with shards of broken glass whenever my bladder got full.  I also had difficulty emptying my bladder.  I wanted this to work but unfortunately it did not for me."


"I've experienced 12  years of chronic sleep and anxiety disorders. Zolpidem ( "Ambien") will not "knock you out" or reduce anxiety levels, instead it creates hypnotic effects that have caused me further issues with uncharacteristic night terrors and black outs. As per the warning label, do NOT try to drive / operate heavy machinery while using this medication."


"Unfortunately, I had a very bad reaction to Zomig, including shortness of breath and severe dizziness. This might not be the case for everyone."


"My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed in January 08 with Uveitis.  We did drops for 5 months with not result.  Starting in May of 2008 we began an infusion treatment of Remicade and today, her flare is controlled.  Life has returned to "almost" normal.

We started at every 4 weeks and have progressed to every 6 weeks. We hope to make it to 8 and still control the flare.

I am calling it a miracle drug.  The issue is health care.  We have insurance due to the grace of God.  Each treatment comes at a price tag of $12K."


"This medicine worked really well for me this is the first time I used it and it did its job within first use"


"I have had Meniere's Disease for about 5 years. I'm a mailman and almost lost my job because of frequent attacks. I found out that popping 2-3 5mg of diazepam (Valium) brought me right out of the vertigo attacks and I could resume driving. I later discovered by taking 20mg of Furosemide and 5mg of Valium in the morning would keep me from having any attacks for over 3 years. I feel like I'm blessed. The only problem is the diuretics can cause kidney problems that's why I had to cut my dosage in half. I hope this helps somebody."


"I have not noticed an effect on my emotions I experience them like normal but they're less intense and not as long lasting. My appetite  is not as much as before. The biggest difference  for me is that when I wake up I'm not exhausted. I am finally waking up with energy! I am so thankful for that.  My dreams are incredible now and very vivid. I still wake up in the middle of the night sometimes from a noise, but even if that happens I still feel well rested in the morning.  My sex drive has increased a lot but  it had been a year of feeling complete apathy  towards sex so maybe I'm just back to normal but not used to it. I feel good and this actually  has  decreased  my anxiety! Wish I  would have found this years ago."


"Chronic pain associated with ulcerative colitls and multiple bowel surgeries. Had large intestine removed, now have permanent ileostomy. I have a ridiculously high pain tolerance, and after trying out the fentanyl transdermal patch (50 mcg every 48 hrs) and taking 10-12 Percocet 10/325 a day, my pain management doctor prescribed Kadian 30 mg every 12 hrs and Percocet for my breakthrough pain. Kadian has been amazing and is helping me get back to my day-to-day life."


"I had a colonoscopy and an EGD today. The doctor used propofol for the anesthesia. I thought it was great. Went to sleep very quickly. After the procedure I woke up quickly and felt fine. I was a little unsteady at first but that didn't last long. I was out of there quicker than in the last under a different anesthesia. Afterwards went to Red Lobster and had a great meal."


"Like any pain pill, it will vary GREATLY on side effects and effectiveness with each patient. For me, I have been on 10/325 for 2 years for chronic pain from an injury. Before that I had been prescribed Hydrocodone and the side effects from that for ME were alot like what I've seen people here say about hydrocodone. I got a tolerance very quickly and would have to take more, I was very agitated, extremely exhausted, and even with all of that I would still be unable to be productive due to pain. I've tried some other things before this also, but nothing was helping. I STILL have pain, and yes, some days nothing seems to ease it, on those REALLY BAD days, but I am really happy with this medicine still being effective 2 yrs later."


"I stopped getting a period completely for nearly two years. Now I suddenly got a period."


"Okay, I know A LOT of young girls are probably very worried and are looking for answers. Hopefully my experience using Plan B will ease your minds. I took Plan B 13 hours after having unprotected sex. Abdominal pain, loss of appetite, depression, hyperventilating, anxiety, my nipples were hurting, I got a yeast infection, constipation, a withdrawal period caused by Plan B about a week after taking it and yesterday I got my period! Two and a half weeks after the one caused by the pills!"


"I have been taking cimzia for my AS. I started 3 months ago and I haven't had a flare up."


"Man oh man. Let me tell ya'll about this implanon birth control. I got this implant in my arm one month after I had my twin girls. I just got it taken out yesterday, I had this piece of shit a little over a year. Putting it in isn't bad. But I bled for that whole year and one month! Extremely heavy. At one point I thought I had to go to the ER. Not only that hair loss is one of the side effects that they don't tell you about in the doctors office. My hair has gotten so damn thin it's a shame. PLUS don't forget about the acne that never goes away, no matter how many times you wash your face lol. I've read that woman gained weight on this, but for me it was the complete opposite, I lost a lot of weight.. Plus constant mood swings!"


"I got the IUD 3 weeks ago and I should've known it would be a disaster from the start! After it was inserted I fainted in my doctors office on my way out. This lead to me going to the ER the next day for the concussion I now had. I was super anxious all the time, had sleepless nights, bleed the whole time, and had no appetite. All my symptoms were in line anxiety and depression disorders (which I don't have). Needless to say, it was removed last week and I feel like myself again. My suggestion, if you have a job where you have to be friendly (I'm a teacher) or you are a new mother and need to be sane for your new child, don't try this. I've heard the emotional roller coaster wares off, however I didn't have time to wait!"


"I am allergic to morphine and that is how I ended up taking Demerol.I was born with Sickle Cell Anemia Disease.This causes me to experience extremely painful episodes in my joints which are crippling at times and can last for one to two months.Enough about me can someone just please tell us why they would discontinue the most helpful and healing medication ever invented."


"I took this pill for the first time about 48 hrs after an accident.  The lady at the counter told me thats how she had 2 of her kids.  Well, she was right because I ended up pregnant.  Fast fwd 3 yrs, within a two month time span the condom came off twice. Took the pill within hrs and got my period. Next time took it also within hours and got my period a week and a half early and it was very heavy and lasted almost 2 weeks. So my experience is if you take it right away you are probably fine. If not, your luck goes down with each passing hour. Oh also the last time I took the generic form. That was the fist time I had such heavy bleeding from it. Next time I may stick w brand name. If needed"


"I had my ankle swell up from gout and couldn't sleep a wink or walk the next morning because of severe pain.  Took the pills as directed and 24 hours later was out using the snow blower for 3 hours with no pain.  I was just diagnosed with gout, which is a bummer, but now that I know, I can take this medicine and cut gout attacks that sometimes lasted weeks where I would have to use crutches down to hours."


"I was prescribed leflunomide for Psoriatic Arthritis, 20mg each day, in May 2012. For the actual treatment of my arthritis, I can honestly say it was a "wonder drug" I noticed a huge improvement all most immediately & this drug agreed with me so much more than Methotrexate & Sulfasalazine, both of which I had also been taking.

The biggest negative for me was the HUGE hair loss I suffered. I had experienced some hair loss on Methotrexate, but, this was on a different level, so much so that I stopped taking Leflunomide in November 2012.

Being a female in her early 40's, this was a decision I felt I had to take as the hair loss was so distressing."


"I have been taking 200mg of Plaquenil daily for 2yrs now.  I still have many days a wk when my entire body hurts. My eye doctor cautioned me not to go to a higher dose for the protection of my eyes. Recently, my daughter noticed a film over half of one eye, which I could not see and my vision is generally not as clear. May not be the right medicine for me."


"Got inserted Oct 2015 fast forwarding to now. At first it was great due to new mommy of two and won't have to remember to take a pill. Lost a lot of weight while breastfeeding 30 lb including baby weight, but once I stopped breastfeeding the weight came back and definitely had mood swings, irritable & emotional which I never experienced after my first child. I became active and ate somewhat healthy but I'm still struggle to get to lose the weight. May2017- I'm now looking for alternative birth control because the side effects are too much at this point"


"I had severe headaches every day (Imitrex didn't touch them).  After starting this I became migraine free. It honestly felt like a miracle drug to me. I had to go off it to get pregnant and the migraines came right back.  I am counting the days until I can go on it again for the relief from the headaches."


"Where to start with this drug ? I refer to it as "The Devil's drug"  it was horrible could not function, swelling of my hands and legs and feet. My cognitive thinking was non existent , voice slurred sounded drunk .Could not function at all and could not get off this stuff fast enough. Just listen to the commercial on TV and all the side effects they throw in at the end.
I would never take this again."


"I really like this patch. It took about 4 months for my period to be normal, because I would have spotting in between. Now I just have my regular period on the patch-free week.

I noticed less cystic breakouts. No weight gain/loss, or drop in sex drive. I definitely cry a lot more about random things. There is a sticky dark residue after you peel it off due to lint and stuff. Just peel it off before you shower and scrub the residue off.

I prefer to place the patch on the left or right of my stomach, just cause I feel it's more secure and less likely to peek out.

I never tried Orthro Evra, because it is no longer offered, so I can't compare. Overall, this patch really works for me, and I recommend you give it a try for at least 6 months."


"I was on this birth control pill for four years. It shortened my period from 18 days to 7, stopped my cramps completely. I did not gain any weight, or have any other symptoms. When I stopped taking it within one month I gained 20 pounds, got acne, and my cramps are worse than before. My period was back up to 10 days after one month."


"This antibiotic worked really fast with no side effects for me."


"I was able to take Valtrex within 14 hours of the onset of the rash and I feel that it helped suppress what could have been a disaster.  It has been three days on Valtrex and I am beginning to feel myself.  The rash suppressed it's growth and is beginning the second and third cycle of healing."


"I can almost guarantee that most of these negative reviews are due to either

1. Taking the medication incorrectly (generic works for some not all), too close to food or iron,calcium, some antidepressants interfere)

2. Taking the incorrect dose

3. Not being consistent(must be close to the same time daily )

I had gone through many changes before finally getting it right. Seems to be working good after getting on brand name and taking it seriously."


"So I'm on my week three of starting this and I have ups and downs about this mostly ups I have had anxiety for about for five years now never have taken anything for it because I've always been afraid of medication but this pill actually helps. The only downfall is I'm on week three right now and I have a little dizziness and the heart palpitations. I don't know if that's normal or not I'm going to talk to my doctor about it soon I know. Talking to people is the easiest thing specially with anxiety."


"I have been on this medicine for almost a year. It really does bring your diabetes under control. My A1C has remained a 6 since being on this medication. The down side is I have issues with being too low. While taking this medicine I experience low numbers at night. So I have wake up through the night to drink something to maintain good glucose numbers. I have also experienced other side effects such as yeast infections, low numbers, weakness,dizziness and joint pain.  This is a great medicine for keeping your numbers under control but this medicine seems to be too powerful for me. I have found my self cutting back to a couple times a week taking this medication. Besides the side effects great medicine!!!"


"I would of got the Depo shot 9/12/15 day after giving birth to my son. First I got it I was okay didn't really notice any change. But the second and third time I noticed instead of me to gain weight I was losing weight from a size 10 to a size 6. I would get moody bad headache no appetite.. My last shot
Was in June 17 been off it 9 months trying for a baby still nothing 2 days
Ago I was bleeding but not sure If that
Was my period. Haven't got my period since March 2015 was pregnant then the bleeding after birth then I got the shot?"


"The first day/night was when I was the most jittery.  The only side effects I got were jitters, slight headache, moodiness, and some dry skin.  They get better as the days go on.  My back pain has totally disappeared."


"I've been on Luvox for 6 months now on 200 mg/day. I switched from Prozac because of libido problems, but it actually didn't make any difference. I completely lost interest in sex and got weight really fast.
My OCD is controlled, but I feel depressed, sleeping a lot during day and nothing during night haha it's horrible...
Also I compulsively scratch my head until it bleeds (tricotilomania?) and Prozac had helped me stop it. Now on Luvox, the problem is back.
I'm switching back to Prozac or giving a try to Zoloft."


"I started Chantix one week ago and continued to smoke that week.  The last two days of that week I really felt my desire for a cigarette diminish.  In fact, they tasted really bad.  I quit yesterday, so I am two days no cigarettes.  Yeah me!  And I have to say that I truly have no desire to smoke.  It's amazing to me.  Yes, I really,  wanted to quit bad, so that may be a great motivator.  But the craving I usually had when I tried to quit the past 7 years isn't there AT ALL.  I know it's only two days, but I can't believe I've gone that long and don't want one.  Also, I have had NO side effects at all. Not one.  But, I also have followed the directions to a tee.  Took the pill after I ate and drank an entire glass of water.  Thank you Chantix!!!"


"I got the nexplanon bar in February. The insertion of the devise didn't hurt at all. My arm was just kind of sore the next day like someone pinched my arm fat. The bad thing was I had my period for 3 months, sometimes super heavy and sometimes barely there. After that time I haven't had a period since and I'm clearly not pregnant so I'd say it works pretty damn good as long as you're patient."


"I have been suffering from Trigeminal Neuralgia for almost 8 years thinking that I was having tooth problems. Since my symptoms would come and go, I never did any further research and accepted my dentist's explanation that it was just sensitive teeth. This time, I couldn't accept that and decided to research further. Thank goodness I did and thank goodness for Tegretol! After being on it for only 2 days I am experiencing almost total relief! TN was the most painful experience of my life. The only down side to the medicine so far has been some light-headedness, which I am hoping will diminish or go away completely."


"I guess I have had major depression my whole life and I have taken a pill here and there, but I never stuck with it.  Recently with the passing of my Mother, I guess emotionally I hit rock bottom and decided I needed to look at doing something and sticking with it. Pristiq was the second medication my Doctor put me on, and I am at week three and I am amazed.  It came to late to salvage my current relationship, but my partner says, that I am a different person and asks if it is real.  It is real, I feel like I did when I used to be happy, when was that?  Years ago, I am thinking more clearly.  I am still grieving for the newly loss of my mother and my relationship at the same time, but my mind is "Clear" and I am singing in the shower."


"I tried it and took 2 pills with lots of water and ended staying up all night crying from severe abdominal pains then throwing up with the pain becoming worse finally 12 hours later while still in pain I had the most painful bowel movement...I'm still on bed rest from the cramps and it hurts to stand upright... If you choose to take this please be careful its effective but at a painful cost"


"I have been taking Neurontin (Gabapentin) for over a year now, can't remember exactly how long, but it has helped me to function better although I still have a headache on a daily basis. That sounds contradictory, but when I don't take it my I can hardly function. I do have memory problems lately and I'm usually tired, but it's better than not having it."


"I Love this pill.  I have been on many many different pills.. all which never controlled my period. I would get it every two weeks or 3 weeks and for 7 days at a time.  My doctor started me on over 2 years ago.  No side effects at all.  At first I was a little freaked out because I didn't getting my period every month. I talked to my doctor and she told me that it was fine as long as I spotted every 3 months and that is what ended up happening.  No cramps nothing it was wonderful. Also my boyfriend and I are very sexually active and this is the only form of birth control we use. Sadly my insurance changed and it was costing me 100 bucks a month to fill this so I just changed to a different pill."


"My 7 year old grandson has had great progress in school on Metadate 20 mg  combined with 2 mg Guanfacine.  He is focused and homework time and evenings are fine.  The only drawback is he's very grouchy and uncooperative when he wakes        up.  He has very little appetite until late evening and everyday at school his belly hurts."


"My COPD is remarkedably better. I can breath much better.  However, I also have 7 side effects."


"I have severe gerd and erosive esphogus. This is the best medicine I've had. But there's no generic and I can't afford the $170 a month. And that's with the company coupon. It's a shame such a great medicine is so expensive and insurance won't cover it."


"I originally got it prescribed for depression. My doctor very casually mentioned that it would also help me quit smoking. I didn't think much of it except, "Yeah right... As long as it cures my depression." After 3 days of taking it, I didn't smoke a cigarette from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm (I usually smoked every 1 or 2 hours). By then, I realized that I hadn't smoked the whole time. I had completely forgotten that the medicine also reduced cigarette cravings. On the fourth day, I was only smoking 1/4 of what I usually did, and after I week I quit altogether."


"I've only been on it for a few days, so it's hard to tell.  I have GAD and my symptoms are flu-like in nature.   I saw my anxiety go from the cliche butterflies in the stomach to having diarrhea and vomiting/nausea whenever I was in strange social situations. After 15 years of dealing with this I went in for help and was prescribed Buspar. At first, no side effects.  But last night I felt the "electric" pulses at work and was pretty dizzy for about a half hour.   I take 10mg 2x per day.   Hopefully these side effects will mellow out.   I'm wondering if caffeine might have a counter effect?   Had coffee shortly before taking the pill. "


"I am 23 now, and I have been on Xulane for almost 2 years now. I have had no noticeable change in moods, sex drive is normal (there seems to be a spike towards the end of the third week, but no complaints there),
and I've had basically no issues with it. The ONLY way I got side effects was if I strayed from the schedule either by accident or I lost a patch and had to go without.

Ortho Evra - the other 'brand' on the other hand.. did NOT agree with me. I had horrible nausea starting up every week I put the patch on, and slowly got accustomed to it after months of nausea.

I would clarify with your doc which one they would give you. Also, since all bodies are different, maybe one won't work with you but the other will. Who knows."


"I used to smoke for more than (20 ) years. My daughter showed me a book that had pictures of a smokers lungs. See than asked, Daddy do you want your lungs to look like this?
This made me realize what is important to me. Immediately the following day, I went to the store asked for a garbage can, and I threw my last pack away.
Bought me a two week supply of NicodermCQ and that was the last time I have smoked a cigarette. Which was 6 years ago. Thank for the extra assistance with working towards a better way of life."


"Had 1st shot 11/10/11, PSA was at 182, tested 3 weeks later, PSA had dropped to 3.3.  Have prostate, metastatic bone and lymphatic cancer. This combined with radiation therapy, greatly improved my mobility (pelvis, hips fully involved, as well as on and inside spine). Side effects are hot flashes and night sweats, but other than that manageable for the relief I've gotten."


"Started Saxenda nearly 3 weeks ago.NO change in hunger levels. I started at 123kg and am still there.I have no other symptoms ie cholestrol/hormones in range, blood pressure is always spot on.There are days where I'm not hungry but I cannot put this down to the drug and then most days where the hunger is ridiculous.I rang my GP and told her this.She said to keep going. She asked if Saxenda have been in touch with me - answer no even though I have registered -there is supposed to be support network. Will keep going until reach the full dose but if nothing happens will ditch it but will call my GP to let her know what I am doing.Good luck to everyone finds this drug works for you."


"I dosed myself to sleep  through the night for four nights in a row worked perfectly but when I stopped taking it I  immediately  started having post nasal  drip (a lot of snot nonstop for two or three days). I also have hypertension"


"I had bad mood swings!!! I didn't want to have sex with my boyfriend! Bleeding the whole time I had it! And I only had it in for two weeks!! I had to have it taken out right away!!! Never again! And it felt weird in my arm"


"Fungus on my right pinky finger got really bad. I tried Nystatin and tea tree oil which did not work at all. I went to my doctor and he prescribed me Terbinafine (Lamasil) and I had to take the pills for 42 days which were really gross. I finished it off and my nail grew half way in, only for my infection to come back a week later. The medication worked but the infection came back within 7 days. Upset I have to deal with the painful mess all over again."


"My experience when I first started taking the pill, I wasn't sure it was right for me because it was effecting my mood completely. Everything I felt was amplified: for example if I was mad, I would be extremely pissed off and didn't want to deal with anyone. But after the initial two weeks passed I start feeling better no huge mood swings and I don't really feel any of the other side effects either which I'm happy about."


"I have been taking Chantix for 3 weeks, not smoking, not drinking! The bad news, sleeping a LOT, not motivated to do much. The worst is I just got a rash, red bumps on most of my body. I will consult my doctor. I hope I can get over the rash, because it really helps with quitting."


"The only thing that has helped my pain."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"So far its a day 4 and i wish my doctor would've told me about the side effects so that i could've been more prepared. I hate medication and this got to be the worse medication I've taken. Ive been feeling very loopy here and there, slightly nauseas. Hopefully it works."


"I was prescribed 5 mg for borderliine high bp I started taking a 1/4 at a time because I think the body should get used to a medication and I didn't want to have dizziness or any side effects. I wanted to see how I tolerated it.  Its been fine Im on full dose now I did have very little light headedness and tired. I don't have the any of those side effects anymore. I gave this a 10 because my bp is perfect now and I tolerate it well. Also not many ppl right good reviews just bad and thats what makes people nervous about meds. Good Luck. Love and Light and Good Health to all."


"I have been on this now for almost 2 months and I've been on and off my period like crazy I was on it so far for 29 days and off for only 15 it's terrible I'm going to get it changed because it's honestly awful ruining underwear just to prevent pregnancy only to be on my period over and over again"


"After having no luck with the prescription Virtussin, I went to doctor and got Rx for hydrocodone/homatropine.  I was nervous about all the nausea statements, so I had a small snack before I tried it.  It did not completely stop the cough, but it certainly reduced it enough to let me grab a couple of hours sleep.  The directions call for 1 teaspoon every 4 to 6 hours.  Fortunately, I did not experience any nausea.  When I did wake up in the middle of the night, I usually stayed up for about 30 minutes drinking ginger ale, having a snack, and trying to cough up some of the phlegm.  All in all, I am pretty happy with this drug.  It is also possible that the Virtussin that I originally tried was just old."


"I will give this medicine a higher rating perhaps when I finish the treatment. At this point (day 5 in the first round), I have muscle pain, lethargy and a dull headache. I feel like I have a mild virus. I have eruptions - red, itchy bumps - but that doesn't bother me as it means the medicines is working and that's exactly what I want. It will be worth it to be rid of precancerous cells on my forehead and hands. But there are some side effects and they seem to vary person to person. For me they are manageable."


"Didn't work. Put it on the moment I got a tingle. 2 days later I still broke out . Day 8 now and it's still here.

Waste of money for what you get."


"I had insomnia because of my chronic fatigue syndrome and depression combined. So I had not slept properly for about a year couldn't get to sleep until 4am even when going to bed at 9 pm then when finally dosing I had vivid horrible dreams slept lightly and woke up between 3-10 times a night. This went on for a year so I was completely sleep deprived. When I was hospitalized for my depression they changed my melatonin to mirtazipine now I sleep like a baby and its great! Only side effects I had was increased appetite so I put on half a stone, but managed to lose it within two months as I had energy for the first time in a year to use the gym! Id recommend it to anyone it really works!!! iI've been on 30mg for about 5 months now."


"DO NOT DRINK if you take this medication. The alcohol makes it not work. I had no idea and I like my wine. A Dr friend of mine told me that alcohol could be affecting the drug. Anytime I have ever tried to drink and take this it doesn't work. If I don't drink at all when I take it.. It works like magic. If you have had a problem with it not working make sure you're not drinking. Even one drink has made it not work as well for me. It literally is a lifesaver."


"I was put on amlodipine and had been taking it for about 2 months.  I was not happy when I found that this medication could possibly react with simvastatin - so I asked the doctor to switch it - he said let it go for a couple of months to see.  So I did.  Blood pressure still wasn't getting close to normal - and I was also getting horrible chest pains, horrible tinnitus - seems like I was holding water.  I finally got him to instead switch the amlodipine to Lisinopril/ hydrochlorothiazide 10/12.5 mg dose.  By the second day of taking this my blood pressure totally returned to normal 120/80 - right around there.  I was ecstatic!!! It's been about a week now on the new."


"Prozac saved me."


"I just started the medication 10mg for 14 days then 20mg for

1 month then doctor wants to see me I have been diagnosed with anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, depression, and depersonalization. I have been on the celexa for five days an although the doc told me it would be 3-4 weeks for full effect I smiled today, I don't feel heavy with thought, I feel like I will come back to me I didn't mind wander or get too into my head today. That's a great feeling, I think I'm going to be okay!"


"I had a nervous breakdown when I was 38, I literally felt as if I was going out of my mind. I had gotten pregnant when I was 21 and had terminated the pregnancy. I had a few years of depression with no meds . I left my Husband and two children and went and stayed with my Sister. She promptly took me to a Psychiatrist that put me on Effexor Xr 75 mg twice a day. He also gave me Xanax to help me with the breakdown. Effexor and my Dr.  saved my life. I have been on Effexor for 22 years. I sometimes feel the depression coming back and I now still have lots of Anxiety. but I take my Xanax and it helps. I have switched to Prozac, Brintellix, Lexapro . None of them work. I always go back to Effexor. I pray daily that God will heal me ."


"So glad I decided to try Zoloft after suffering with depression and anxiety after my husbands passing. I am calmer and feel somewhat happy. I'm on 50mg

There's no need to suffer everyday.  Life doesn't have to be so painful   Do yourself a favor and try it. It might just take some of that pain away. It's definitely worth a try"


"I had been on Lexapro for over a year and it was working great with the exception of having zero libido. With my relationship at stake I decided to try Pristiq. After about a week I realized that I was back to my old irritable, pre-medicated self. I have been crying at the drop of a hat, snapping on loved ones, and I have been nauseous almost everyday. Not to mention I went from 125 pounds to 137 pounds in a month. I talked to my doctor today and she suggested trying Viibryd."


"When I first became sexually active, I started a one month at a time pack, (I don't remember which one) but after a few months, I couldn't take the nausea anymore. I went to the doctor and was prescribed Jolessa. I've now been on Jolessa for about a year now and I absolutely love it. I have no side effects, except for the first week after the "sugar pills." I get nausea shortly during this time, but it's nothing compared to before. My period is easy and comes and goes on the same two days every three months! "


"I was prescribed phentermine/Adipex for weight loss after I discussed with my doctor my lack of energy being a full time single working mother and time and motivation were really my issues contributing to my weight. She said this would give me the motivation and "want" to exercise and is an appetite suppressant. Those two things are very true. I work a desk job and cannot exercise until evening so that is hard. Day 1 and 2 I was on the go all day and felt fantastic, full of energy, and very happy. Day 3 I had several negative side effects of high blood pressure, heart pounding, fatigue, insomnia. Day 4 I had the dose cut in half by my doctor. Today is Friday, day 5, and I have lost 9.5 pounds since Monday. Hoping to see more loss but slower!"


"This has been an AMAZING medicine for me.  I've taken it alone (after pre-administration medicines; Pepcid & Solumedrol (steroid)) for several series (of 4 infusions each) the last 3-4 years.  It has put me back into remission every time, so far, especially knocking the WBC down into normal range from as high as 214k.  No major side-effects, either.  I can't sleep the night after my infusion (not tired, and too "hyped up"); also I coughed a lot last time, but they slowed the drip down, and I was fine."


"For the first week on Lexapro, I felt weird; a little lightheaded, dizzy, had insomnia and some minor stomach issues but I stuck it out and I'm so glad I did. I have been taking it for 5 weeks now. I take Lexapro around 10am now as this helps prevent insomnia at night. I feel more energetic, happier and more social. I don't feel out of control or strange or anything. No side effects now. I would highly recommend it anyone to try this."


"Of all the available antibiotics, this one has the fewest side effects for me, and unless I have a MRSA infection in my sinus, the one that works the best.  Allergic reactions can happen with any medicine, so make sure you know those signs.  Itchy skin (hyper itchy), welts, short of breath, blue fingernails, etc."


"I have had migraine headaches most of my life averaging 3-5 a week. Mostly at night. Waking up in the middle of the night. I have not had a single headache since I have started the clonazepam. It has been only two months but right now I would call it a miracle."


"I had to use this for a colonoscopy. I was given a choice of 4 flavor packets, I chose the cherry. It didn't taste bad at all. I've spoken to people who said this started working within 30 minutes after beginning to take it. For me it took almost 2 hours. Since it took so long I was able to finish the entire container before I began having movements. Because of this I felt very bloated but that diminished once it started working. It's very thorough but there's no discomfort with it. It also didn't keep me up all night. It started working around 7 pm and stopped by bedtime so I was able to get a good nights sleep with no getting up during the night. However, from 7 to 10 I was going every 15-20 minutes. It was much better than I expected."


"21, no kids, had Paragard inserted yesterday. I read hundreds of reviews beforehand that led me to believe I'd be writhing in pain the whole time. Yes, it hurt, but only for 20 seconds total out of a 5 minute ordeal. I think for me at least, a lot of what I was registering as pain was more shock at such a completely foreign sensation. I immediately had what felt like my usual, period cramps but a bit worse, but those went away after 5ish hrs. Now, less than 24 hrs after insertion, I feel FINE. Every so often I'll get a dull cramp but that's IT. Here's hoping it continues to be a positive experience (for the next TEN years!!!?!)"


"So I'm doing this because when it all first happened to me I was so scared and probably like a lot of y'all reading this now. LONGEST 6 days of my life. My period wasn't supposed to come until 4/28 so I was so happy and shocked when it came 4/12 (6 days after the pill)

I took the pill before 2 hours of protected sex (contom ripped in half)

Just stay calm and be positive, it's going to be okay!!"


"This is My first colonoscopy and I am a big baby when it comes to liquid medicine.   I hate the taste of liquid meds.  I won't buy a liquid med.  I was scared I would not be able to tolerate  it when I had to use it.  Yes it taste salty and sweet at the same time.   I just held my nose and drank with a straw.  I had it down in abut 10 mins and 8 sips with some pep talk to myself.  Put it in the fridge when you get it from the pharmacy.  And mix with ice cold water.   Suck on a lemon between sips.  That was what saved me.   It started to work about a half hour after my first sip.   The worse part is you just go,  not warning it just comes out fast.   I've had no cramps or chills.   Hopefully the second round is as easy."


"Have had rheumatoid arthritis for 5 years. Taking methotrexate for the whole time. It quit working as well. Just went on Enbrel 12 weeks ago, now have right arm swelling, pitting edema, trying to figure out what it is. I am 47 and shouldn't have any extremity swelling. Have never had any swelling of arms or legs. It is not DVT had ultrasound to rule that out. Common sense would say Enbrel triggered something. Hope it resolves and isn't anything serious."


"I received the IUD yesterday; this comment is to share the insertion process. I am 24 years old with no children. I was pretty scared for the insertion, so much so I had my boyfriend come because I was unsure of whether or not I'd be able to drive home. I took 800mg of Tylenol beforehand and ate a big breakfast. The whole process took maybe 3 minutes. It was very painful but it was tolerable. First, they use a ruler to measure your uterus. Then they insert the device. I had intense cramping (contraction like cramps) for about 30 seconds. Focus on your breathing during this!! I started to shake and felt a bit lightheaded, but this subsided within a minute. My boyfriend was so surprised to see me walk out with a smile on my face!"


"Terrific supplement to increase blood flow.    I order 20mg pills and break them into 10mg halves.   I do have to pop a couple Ibuprofen, as Cialis does give me a headache.

The only other negative is to make sure your spouse or GF is in the mood before taking the pill.    The last thing you want is to be ready to go without a willing partner ;)"


"While this drug worked immediately to lessen my heavy blood flow, it upset my stomach in conjunction with other meds I had already been taking. The vomiting caused me to become more anemic and need three units of blood. I was switched to high-dose combined oral contraceptives, which aren't side-effect free, but I can stomach."


"I was so happy to re-discover Darvon.  I had taken it 30 years earlier for severe menstrual cramps when I was in high school and it worked great.

I re-discovered it because I have a terrible reaction to adhesives used with tooth-crowning.  Lortab and various other current drugs, did not work, but the oldie but goodie Darvon did.

I now use it for general pain associated with MS and it works like a charm.

BONUS - It's much cheaper than the newer, highly addictive pain killers."

"I've been really pleased with the low blood sugar results but found that I was really tired.  I went to the doctor for an ear infection and found that I had low blood pressure.  I forgot that my high blood pressure was related to the diabetes.  Once the blood sugar levels lowered so did my high blood pressure.  Cutting back on one of my medicines gave me more energy.  I will keep an eye on my blood pressure but will definitely not give up the Victoza."


"My doctor prescribed lantus at an increase of two units every three days until my fasting sugars are at 120 or below.  After two months my readings still range between 250 and 315.  I started at 20 units and am now up to 50.  It probably is lowering my blood sugar to some degree, but not significantly.  I need something more effective. At this rate I'll be up to 80 units daily or more to reach my goal and will suffer side effects from such a high dose.  I feel hungry all the time since using this and I've gained weight. "


"The first 6 months I had a lot of bone pain and jerking reactions. Both have subsided. I do occasionally have those reactions, but very seldom.  I was told just recently I am in remission, it took 2 1/2 years.  The biggest down side is the cost.  I did not get upset learning about my leukemia, but cried when I found out about the cost.  I get help with my insurance and I am so thankful for PSI giving me some help with it as well.  "


"I am taking Robaxin 750 3 times a day post surgery. I had a 360 Lower Spinal Fusion done. Since taking this medicine I have had severe memory loss and confusion. I also keep dropping just about everything I have in my hands. It has done a great job of decreasing my horrible muscle spasms, but I don't believe I can take it any longer. It makes me loopy and unable to function! I'm going to speak to my doctor today about either changing its dose amount or to a different muscle relaxer."


"I have had nausea for years and nothing worked so my doctor gave me Reglan.  At first it worked and I was so happy then the side effects blasted in!  I have never been sicker in my life.  I was unable to get out of bed.  I lost my mind for a long time.  I even named the sides of my bed.  Right side was chocolate and left was vanilla!.  I could not get comfortable.  I lost around 100 lbs because I couldn't eat.  My kids thought I had gone crazy.  THEN the worst side effect, Tardis Dykinesia set in.  It is an untreatable disease that caused crazy facial ticks and body movements.  This disease NEVER goes away.  I have been bed bound for 8 years because of this drug!  DON'T TAKE IT!!! It has a black label that warns of the horrible side effect"


"I had the nexplanon inserted the first week of April. I didn't have a period for two months, then end of June I started and had a light, constant period through August. Then it stopped for a short amount of time, then Started September 20th through October 15th. I started noticing hair loss probably mid June/July. Clumps of my hair were coming out. I also experienced extreme mood swings. The littlest thing would irritate me. I just had the implant removed today, and I recommend that nobody gets it. I am trying the nuvaring out this time, I hope I have better luck. I was on the pill for years but I forget to take it sometimes due to my busy schedule."


"I am a 57 year old female and about 30 pounds over weight. At first it was great.  Side effects were being tired and in a fog.  That got better over 5 or 6 days.  I had to use extream caution driving because I had trouble concentrating.  I lost 5 pounds in 10 days. On day 10 I broke out in hives and had a fever.  I stopped taking the medication.  I also have been taking blood pressure meds and primerin for hot flashes for over a year.  I stopped all meds and took benadryl for 5 days.  I have been in contact with my doctor and am hoping it was not due to qsymia because it was working.  Just not sure if it's safe for me."


"I have had severe eczema since I was a child. Therapies included the usual prednisone, topical creams  and testing for everything under the sun. Desperate and searching  online night after night for help, I came across the hospital a few years ago and began working with the doctor who led the groundbreaking eczema research to get this drug on the market. I knew within hours this drug was different---it was actually working! I am extremely lucky to have found medical tam and their research on Duplixent. I am now itch free and almost 100% clear; something I thought I'd never experience in my lifetime! God bless all the folks involved including the clinical trials. The future is exciting for eczema cases. I am very, very, very grateful."


"I'm on the 3rd day of the 5-day treatment (2 pills on day 1 and 1 pill each of the next 4 days) and have had no bad side effects when taking this medication.  My bronchitis finally seems to be clearing up and I'm pleased with this medication."


"I was prescribed this medication for RSD chronic pain I've been on this medication for approximately two and a half weeks now the nausea is awful vomiting the feeling of being seasick 24 hours a day I recalled my pain management doctor and explain the side effects of this was told I would have to stay on at the full 30 days had to recall a few days later to get prescribed a pill for nausea  after two doses of that I still vomited I am now on the second day with the nausea medication and a Bellvue Co hopefully today is better most times the dissolving film does not dissolve completely almost 75% of the patches I have taken so far left what looked to be like a small piece of gum either stuck to my teeth or the side of the inside of my cheek"


"Terrible I wouldn't recommend to anyone. I took this a week ago & have been having Terrible Abdominal Pain & Cramps. I've taken Advil, Tylenol, Midol & Termacare Heat Wraps for cramps & nothing is working. I haven't gotten my period yet but it's not expected until a few days. DON'T BUY!!!"


"I have tried many different medications for my back, I have deteriorating arthritis in my lower back along with curvature of the spine. I am currently on Opana ER 10 mg twice a day, and Norco 4 times a day for break through pain. When I get up in the morning I can hardly move, I take the Opana and within half an hour I can move better. I still have pain but not as intense as it was. It has helped a lot. I would not be able to afford this medicine without the coupon."


"Excellent"


"I recently started using this medication prescribed to me from my doctor and the first week of taking it was not so bad but I did have headache, nausea and leg aches. After the first week I felt great and I'm already seeing results. I'm so happy with this medication. I love it!"


"Just started yesterday.  No effects yet.  However, my doctor said she would fight to have me on this medication and insurance turned it down, the I tried the card supplied with Contrave and the pharmacy said they couldn't take it without insurance, so I had to pay full amount.  Does anyone have any ideas to help me?

I am a VERY active 51 year old that has been fighting this weight it seems forever.  I keep working out harder and eating sensibly and still can't lose weight.  I really hope this helps me, I love to be active and since getting a management position have gained 50 lbs.  I'm 250 - 5'9".

I just hope I can afford it."


"Causes dystonia but is extremely effective. Nothing that can't be fixed by benztropine."


"I have tried numerous drugs for RLS, including Neurontin, Klonopin, Lyrica, Mirapex, and clonidine (and possibly 1 or 2 others).  Clonidine started out positively, giving me more relief than Neurontin.  However, unfortunately I developed a very rare severe side effect called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (a.k.a. toxic epidermal necrolysis), which has a high death rate.  Needless to say, clonidine was D/C'd, and after lengthy treatment for SJS, I (cautiously!) tried a different drug.  Ultimately, Mirapex and Lyrica have been the best, with approx. equal effectiveness."


"I think if you already had some underlying issue like I had, teribble pms and painful periods, and you felt terrible mood swings etc without BC, then this pill seems to work well. It seems like women who have minor pms and such don't do well with this one. But I have felt amazing since starting it. I barely have a period and no pms. No PMS !!!! I haven't had any mood issues or hormonal issues since starting it . I have noticed my breast more full which is welcome. Only real side effect was naseau for the first 1.5 weeks in morning and evening which wasnt fun. I feel great on it."


"After complaining to my urologist that the Oxybutynin Hydrocloride I had been taking for years had stopped working, he gave me a 30 day sample pack of Myrbetriq 50mg to try. Although it really didn't work any better- same amount of urgency and leakage- I went ahead and ordered a 90 day supply from CVS Caremark. I figured newer was better, right? Wrong! Within 3 days I broke out in severe hives all over my body. I did not immediately make the connection, so I took my regular dose of Myrbetriq again on the fourth day. My hives became so bad I called my doctor and luckily he connected the dots and ordered me off the Myrbetriq and onto a five day course of Prednisone. Be very wary of this drug!"


"I can't even explain how horrible this headache is. It is 3:44am, and I can't sleep a wink because of the horrible pain I'm in. I've only just started this medication, yesterday, and it will be my last dose. It's Pantoprozole Sodium Extended release 40mg. When they say headache is a possible/common side effect, they weren't kidding. Migraine like pain. I will gladly take gastritis over this crap. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, again. This sucks soooooo bad!!!"


"This medicine has completely changed my life.  I am basically tremor free, and have been on the medicine for over 6 years now.  My shaking was completely uncontrollable prior to the medicine and I can definitely tell within a half a day if I forget to take it.  Lately I am noticing dizzy and light headedness, I normally have low Blood Pressure and am wondering if it has dropped too low now."


"I have been on numerous anti-depressants for 12 years, including combinations of Zoloft and Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, Lexapro, Prozac and many others.  I also suffer from severe anxiety and have panic attacks.  I used to HAVE to take at least 2 anti-depressants to keep my depression at bay and it seemed they would only work for about 18-24 months before the combination stopped working.  I began Viibryd right after it came on the market because I needed my sex life back.   Both my Psychiatrist and I were skeptical, but I have been on 20 mg Viibryd for 3 years now and have never felt better, happier or more optimistic.  I can have orgasms now, too! it has changed my life."


"I was started on Cymbalta for pain at 30 mg per day the first month.  I experienced mild disruption of sleep for a few nights, but no other side effects.  My pain was initially reduced by 70% but began to wear off by evening.  Second month my dose was upped to 60 mg per day, which I take at lunch time.  My neck pain and neuropathy in hands and feet have been reduced by 90% which is like a miracle to me.  I have been able to resume yoga and biking.  Life is very good now.  I was switched to generic Duloxetine with no loss of benefit and no more side effects. I'm one of the lucky ones who does not suffer many side effects from medications.  My sister cannot use this one at all."


"I've had Implanon for about two weeks, and I don't feel any different than I did before. A few of my friends who got Implanon said that they didn't stop bleeding for six to eight months, so I was a little worried. But I had it implanted in the middle of my period, and the second day after I had it inserted, my period was over. The only thing I can say is don't do anything strenuous with the arm you get it in. I play on a high school softball team, and it's been hurting me because I've refused to not play. So, all in all, the irritation I'm getting every now and then from my Implanon is entirely my fault. But it's great to know that I don't need to remember to take a pill or anything. Worry-free birth control. That's the way to go."


"I have been using Loestrin for about a year now and at first I had horrible mood swings, I was hungry all the time, and my breasts hurt. Overall though I loved the pill because it made me have shorter periods and it made my breasts bigger. After a while, however, I started gaining weight in all the wrong places. When I started Loestrin I was 105 lbs now I am 125 lbs. I have tried everything to lose the weight and I haven't had any luck. I am switching THIS WEEK!"


"After being hypothyroid for many years and having good results on Synthroid and natural thyroid, it went on backorder for a few months and I had to switch to Cytomel.  I felt immediate changes,  more alert and a little more energy.  However, after taking it for a few years,  about 70% of my hair fell out (in clumps and I tried everything to stop the hair loss), and I've had chronic insomnia,  huge appetite increase,  higher blood pressure,  anxiety attacks, hot flashes, etc. "


"I have used every face wash product and home remedy on the market.  I've been on Doxycycline,  Minocycline,  and every other antibiotic the doctor can prescribe.  They helped, but I was never clear.  I finally decided to go on Accutane.  The process to get on the pill is a huge pain,  but it's so worth it.  You have to take birth control and get blood work every month because you CANNOT get pregnant.  My skin was dry for two weeks.  Then it was minorly dry after that.  I rarely had to use lotion.  My lips were CHAPPED.  Don't use drug store chap stick. I recommend Lucas Pawpaw ointment, ceralip or Cortibalm.  The first month I had minor headaches, but I was 100 % clear by month 3. My skin was no longer oily.  This experience was amazing."


"With a severe spinal disorder & several herniated discs I have had injections from my pain management Doctors & I must say that they did relieve my pain for around 2-3 months.  However, the pain did of course return in full force. After about 3 to 5 other types of pain medicine , they finally prescribed me the oxycodone / acetaminophen 7.5-325 mg tablets.  Wow, what a relief. It works really great for me with no side effects.  First time in a very long time I will say I am pain free for the most part."


"I am currently staying in the hospital overnight with an infected colon ( thought it was appendicitis it was so close), crazy watery diarrhea, vomiting, severe stomach cramps, and therefore dehydration. I have never had digestive problems like this and I've never been in a hospital overnight. This is seriously because of augmentin. Do not take this drug!"


"The insertion of it was so painful I was shaking, sweating, and nauseous. I stood up, white washed face, totally pale and about to vomit/pass out. Prior to this, my doctor gave me three "extra-strength ibuprofen". It wasn't nearly enough, I wanted to die. After one month of solid period bleeding, writhing around in pain in the fetal position, tears streaming down my face from excruciating pain, my mother took me to the hospital. They did an ultrasound to make sure the IUD was in it's proper place and not stabbing through my uterine walls. Surprise! My body was having contractions trying to push out the IUD. I had the IUD removed the next day. It took two doses of morphine to get the pain to dull out. Horrible, horrible experience."


"I took Bactrim once for a Urinary Tract infection. I can't remember exactly how many days I was instructed to take the pill, but I know it was over a week. Everything was fine up until the 9th day, then my entire body broke out in hives."


"It is the only thing that works for my migraines."


"The medicine works great. I've been on it for almost 2 years. The only thing is I'm getting a lot of the side effects. The one thing that is very bad is the itching on my arms that have lasted a long time. No medicine has helped so if anyone has any ideas on how to stop the itching please give me ideas. The only good thing about this medicine is that it's helping my ulcerative colitis."


"I have used Hyzaar for 8 months. It does cause strange heartbeats and even much discomfort in right part of my chest about an hour after taking the pill. I never had any of that before."


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


"I was on the pill for 10 years before deciding on Skyla. I'd say the process itself only took about 10 to 15 minutes. It was a little bit uncomfortable, and there was a pretty intense pinching sensation towards the end, but overall, I didn't find the insertion to be that painful. I did feel a little bit lightheaded afterwards, though. I had some cramping that day, but felt fine the next day. There was some minor cramping over the course of the week, but that has since subsided. I got the device inserted on the first day of my period, and bled for about 8 days afterwards. I did not have any spotting over the next month. My period arrived 4.5 weeks later, and lasted about 7 days. The only negative effect I've been experiencing are headaches."


"Fewer side effects than Ditropan and more effective than Detrol."


"been taking antibiotics for almost 3 month now, cipro for 6 weeks for an apparently antibiotic resistant infection. started on merropenem i.v.  (dont know why if its antibiotic resistant) i think doctors do whatever they can with the knowledge they have been given by these companies. which most dont even now of the side effects and say dont believe everything you read on google. but i had diarrhea straight away after the first pill (500mg) i have also had tennis elbow. yet never played any tennis or golf.i have muscular pain in my shoulder and it felt like it popped out or something almost a week ago. and only now i re read the symptoms and the reviews i see others having this problem. i dont trust pharma companies i want to stop taking now"


"Tried this twice, have really bad hormonal acne and was prescribed this by me GP, completely dried my skin out and it hurt to use anything but simple face wash on it, stung and itched a lot and made my dermatitis soo much worse. That was last year, gave up on prescribed treatments until 2 months ago, again was given duac even after describing my first experience with it have used it for 6 weeks now, skin has adjusted to drying but has done nothing for my acne, still have as many breakouts if not worse"


"I started this birth control in April and loved it. I was very nauseous at first but did not spot at all. After 2 months on it I finally got my period for only two days. It was nice not getting it but also made me anxious every month. After this I did not get my period until last week. So that is 3 months of not receiving my period which stressed me out. After months on it I started losing my sex drive and becoming extremely moody the first 3 weeks of the pack. I wasn't myself anymore and everyone around me noticed it. I plan on getting off of it for a couple of months or more to reset my hormones and get back to normal. Obviously everyone will react differently to this pill. Also my insurance didn't cover it so I was paying $80 for 3 packs"


"My daughter was put on this for her ADHD and it has worked reasonably thus far. We weren't looking for a miracle cure as everything has its pros and cons. We have Tricare Prime and I pay $25 a month for her bottle."


"I been on this pill for almost a year now. At first it made me feel really bad if I didn't eat with it! I mean all day bad! It's good to eat with this pill. Now I'm fine! I have lighter periods that last for almost three to four days and hardly any cramping. I do have a lower sex drive though. Other than that I think this is the best birth control if you had to choose any go with this one!"


"This medicine worked in the end but getting there was the worst night of my life as far as pain is concerned. My symptoms were mild at worst so I thought I would take care of it before my infection got terrible. I can count the times I have cried in my adult life and this was one of them. I will never take this again simply because the pain was so bad. There has to be something better!"


"This medicine works extremely well. I have been very pleased with its effects and yielded results in many different areas in my life.  From greatly increased concentration to unknown sources of motivation to succeed, Vyvanse has helped me immensely.

I also think that I should put this in here too.  I am eighteen and have experienced depression before.  During one such battle, I thought that a "nice way to end things," would be to really overdose on my medicines.

Well, turns out that you just get a really strange night's sleep and an awful stomach ache for a day with your fair share of vomiting.  Needless to say, I learned my lesson and really just told myself how stupid I was and went on with life.

However, all in all, this medicine is very good."
