"I had no complications with this birth control other than minor nausea in the mornings. If I missed one and took it too close to another one in the same day, I would be throwing up. I probably needed a lower dosage. I did quit for other personal reasons about 2 months ago and have had anxiety. I've been fearful, scared, depressed, and feeling really weird and its not me! I feel I can't control it and really believe it to be the birth control since my hormones are unbalanced now. I've read from other woman that it gets better after a few months and I so hope that is true. I'm debating if I want to go back on it to regulate my hormones and period, because since its been some time, I don't want to get sick."


"I'm a 32 y/o female who has suffered from chronic diarrhea related to anxiety for about 5 years. I have anywhere from 2 to 10 bouts of diarrhea a day. I was very excited to try Lomotil after reading so many positive reviews.

I have been taking 2 pills 4 times a days, as prescribed. This medicine did not work for me, and the side effects are awful. I am still having urgent bouts of diarrhea. Also, this medicine makes me feel so sleepy that I can barely hold my eyes open. I took my last dose about 18 hours ago, and still feel very groggy. The dry mouth is so bad that it wakes me up, even though I have been staying hydrated.

I am discontinuing this!"


"Previous experience with other medicines that were ineffective were Enbrel and Humira. I was on methotrexate for 5 years but was taken off as it caused an enlarged liver. I've been on tocilizumab now for 7 months. Its fantastic! No stiffness and no flares! Took about 8 weeks to kick in fully. I've suffered a few side effects including sores on my hands and feet, bleeding gums and upper respiratory tract infection. Side effects are subsiding now though and seem insignificant due to how good my rheumatoid arthritis has been since on tocilizumab. I feel fantastic!"


"Used it for 9 days straight.  It didn't even touch it.  Why doesn't anything ever work as advertised. :o/"


"The shrink prescribed Risperdal 3mg a day then had me come off it. I had withdraw symptoms of fear and panic attack so I overdose and took 20 pills of 3mg then started hallucinating then attempted suicide but arrested by police. They did a procedure in hospital while pass out."


"I have treatment resistant Major Depression and as a result, I've taken so many drugs over the years that I can't list them all. I got kidney stones a while back and got tramadol to help me with the pain. It didn't help much for that, but it sure helped treat my depression. I talked with my primary care doctor about this and she's reluctant to prescribe it if it isn't for pain. As the result, I'm going to find a new doctor... One who knows a bit more about psychiatry."


"I liked the pain relief, but I am allergic.  I developed a very itchy rash that got worse the longer I took the medication.  My mood was really neutral. I was not very happy at all.  "


"I'm kinda surprised at some of the negative reviews too. I've had asthma all my life and this miracle drug put asthma in its place (not active). I get asthma from allergies and cardio exercises. Was given a sample by a doctor I used to work for because I kept using my ProAir every 30min throughout the day. After that sample of Symbicort, my life changed forever. I don't know what it is about this drug, but it only takes 2 puffs and BAM, my asthma isn't a problem until next year.

Can't live without it. Its amazing stuff right here. I live by this drug (unfortunately) but fortunate that it gives me freedom from asthma for almost a full year. Problem free"


"After many (84) years of trying to combat constipation, I have finally discovered Miralax, and it has made my life so improved that I almost can't believe it."


"I took Depakote for bipolar and the very first night I had very vivid dreams which turned into nightmares and audio visual hallucinations.  It's been 3 days and my dreams are not back to normal yet.

I've read the reviews and it seems to work for most people. I haven't gotten a good night's sleep.

My doctor put me back on Trileptal 300 mgs twice a day."


"I have had Mirena in for 1 year and 9 months. I have a positive experience so far. I got it put in place 2 months after having my son. When I first got it in, it did not really hurt. I kind of feel that I have had weight gain from it (after having my son, I lost 20-25 lbs right off the bat). I gained all the weight back, I had lost and plus 10 lbs more, despite exercising a lot and eating right. I've also had a little discomfort with sex (only recently) I have also notice that when I should be bleeding, I only get cramping.  I only had about 2 months of regular periods. I really find this method of birth control great, except for the few side effects. I plan on getting the Mirena out in October, to see if the side effects go away."


"Had implanon since Jan 2015, inserted 5 days after giving birth at the recommendation of the hospital. Within 4 months I started losing my hair, I had long irregular periods that would last 4-8 weeks at a time and no amount of pills prescribed by my gynae would make it stop. My most recent period lasted almost two months and was thoroughly unpleasant dark coloured blood. My gynae also reported thinning of my uterus. I have gained about 10kg and counting, my breasts are enormous, and have experienced some issues with libido. I was on Yasmin before for seven years and had none of the above side effects. Having it removed asap and will go back to Yasmin."


"I was really afraid about the pain after reading the reviews but it was so easy! I took misoprostol the night before to soften my cervix which they said may cause cramps and had none. I went to get the IUD today and barely felt a pinch! I also took 800mg ibuprofen at bedtime and an hour before my appointment and I had a baby 12 weeks ago. Definitely recommend! Don't be scared off by the reviews, everyone is different!"


"Tried ambien  but it lost it effect around 10 months. Lunesta tasted like I sucked on a roll of pennies all night. Trazodone just wasn't really effective. I take 30mg of restoril about 20 mins before I need to be in bed. Otherwise I've awaken in different parts of house. I also take a .75mg give or take .25mg of Xanax as a kicker. I would have problems staying asleep. Sometimes no more sleep that night sometimes the crappy toss n turn sleep till you get mad n get up. Then drag ass all day. Occasionally I still get one of those nights but they are once in a long while. It works for me and I recommend (but does not for a friend) If you've tried the others give it a try it's cheap nothing to loose."


"I have not had any problems with Sprintec and I have been on it for 3 years. I used to have horrible cramps that would last days. Once I started Sprintec all that stopped immediately. My periods are normal and I feel so much better. About a month ago I stopped taking Sprintec and we are relying on other forms of birth control. I have not had any side-effects from stopping the pill. I have had a great experience with this pill and especially for the cost I would highly recommend it."


"It worked well at first. I was on 1 mg as needed after being diagnosed with M.S. I built a tolerance very quickly even though I was only taking 1 pill 2-3 days a week. Soon I needed 2 at a time, then 3 at a time just to slightly calm my anxiety and panic attack, not fully taking it away (at this time I had been on them approximately a year and a half). Even the first day that I started taking Ativan took 20-30 minutes to feel the effect. Anyone who has severe anxiety or panic attacks knows that is an unbearable amount of time to feel relief. I am now on 1 mg Xanax, which is a God send."


"I was getting frequent outbreaks and was very miserable. I felt I would never be normal again. Started this treatment and it improved my daily and intimate life by a milestone. Maybe get a little thing or two in a year and very possibly not. If so its quickly resolved with these meds..I reccomend it. Give yourself and love a chance. I am still very worthy and so are you. There is a huge and scary stigma about it but you are still normal and so am I. Its a small complication we have to deal with until God provides a cure. In the meantime take care of yourself and your partner. Be careful and safe. But don't underestimate your worth like I did. Try this treatment."


"I've been on Trulicity for about a year.  Started with .75 but now up to the 1.5 dose weekly.  I find that my side effects actually come and go.  I will go weeks without the sulfur burps, but then out of nowhere they will show up again (like now).  It's done a great job lowering my A1C, but be careful not to overeat, or your body will be unhappy.  Unable to find the sulfur burp trigger but still looking.  For me, the benefits outweigh the negatives."


"After hurting my back, hips and developing sciatica from lifting people in hospitals/nursing homes/rehab/homecare, I was given Ultram for the excruciating pain.  It worked wonderfully without the dopiness associated with narcotics.  I had also suffered from depression since I was a child and had been through numerous meds that didn't work, or made my life even worse.  Tramadol is the only med that I have taken that has successfully treated both my chronic pain as well as my depression, allowing the sun to shine in my life."


"I'm 21 with 3 kids, Got my Mirena on 6/12/12 and I'm already on my period. I'm slowly breaking out on my back which never happens and also on my face, I have gained 3lbs, I'm a very active person I workout hard 6 x a week and eat as healthy as possible. Now tell me, is it the Mirena or me?? I'm not sure about this but I'll give it about 5 or 6 months. "


"After suffering from various forms of an eating disorder throughout my life, I've been battling binge eating for 4 years, which at times is out of control. I've tried other medications for depression and anxiety, but this is the only drug...the absolute only med that's helped with the binge eating. I am not taking anything else at the time of start & I'm now beginning the second month with only Vyvanse. At first while taking the med, I had no desire to binge eat & I would not have any urge to plan my day around the binging.This was unbelievable as I've been consumed every single day with binge eating. I have to say this med is exactly what I need while I work on the other components of recovery & therapy."


"I'm brown skin and tri luma didn't work for me. As soon as I started to use tri luma I notice my dark spots was beginning to become darker, I was very upset with the result of my dark marks becoming darker after a week I discontinue to use. I think that this product is only for light skin people."


"I was very afraid to try methadone to detox from opiates at first but thank God I went ahead and did. I love waking up, taking a dose, and spending the rest of my day doing positive things. No more cravings for oxy's, spending every penny I had looking all day for yet another pill. I feel like there is hope now. If you are living the life of a pill addict, methadone may be for you to."


"I found out I had chlamydia  on Tuesday and took two 500mg tablets.. I read the side effects and got a little scared but didn't think much of it because I usually have a strong stomach. I had taken the pill at around 5pm and by 9pm I had the worst stomach pain and diarrhea. Although the diarrhea did stop, it is now Friday 8:50am and I have vomited 3 times. I'm hoping these side effects stop soon and clear me from infections."


"I have been taking Effexor 300mg for 2 years, and it has saved my life. I didn't care if I died prior to taking it. I never get sleepy or tired, and I can concentrate much better than I used too. My depression is gone."


"I have had increasing migraines for several years now, usually triggered by stress or light.  Two years ago, I started amitriptyline.  I am now at 50mg once daily at night and have many fewer migraines.  I used to be drowsy in the morning. Now I take it about 2 hours before bedtime and am not drowsy in the morning.  I hope this helps someone."


"I took Plan B a 1 week after it happened, got my period the next month at the usual time. The wait was the worst part (hoping it worked) I was cramping most of the time, my boobs got really tender, and legs hurt.   Then come 5th of the month I got my period. Very thankful."


"I started taking this a month ago for endometriosis and cysts and so far I am miserable.  "Back in the day" I used to have no problem with birth control but after the birth of my boys I now struggle with bad side effects (mostly mood related). I am not sure if this is because of my age (40) or if my hormones have changed (maybe both). I had the worst cramps of my life 4 days into my first pack and I bled for 14 days straight and even now continue to have cramps. I also have *very* noticeable depression--but again, I am prone to this so I think the pill just makes it worse. I also noticed today I have gained 3 pounds and I am a hardcore marathon runner--so I know it has to be from this pill."


"It works."


"I have frequent urinary tract infections and I've taken this many times but hadn't in five or so years because my urinary tract infection became resistant to it. Now since I'm taking it again its given me the jitters and acid reflux but those are still better that cystitis. "


"I'm a 25 year old female who has had BMs every 7-9 days since I was 10 with no real answers.  I had tried everything, nothing worked.  I did not feel the sensation of "needing to go" despite the pain and discomfort in my abdomen and could only have a BM if I removed it myself with manual disimpaction.  This was, of course, disgusting and very inconvenient.  It eventually became normal for me and I had almost given up at ever finding treatment.

I started taking Linzess 290 mcg nearly two weeks ago.  Nothing happened for six days, and then I had a small, well-formed BM.  I never had any explosive diarrhea that many others experience with this medication.  My BMs are now every 1-2 days, small, and still sometimes have to be removed manually."


"I hate reading reviews before I take a med because it does have a placebo affect on you whether it’ll work or not. (If you’re doing this, stop! Just take the meds and see how it works for YOU.) But I was put on belbuca after misusing Vicodin from chronic pain and disc replacement surgery. Vicodin helped but dosage wasn’t enough and I abused it. But belbuca Never helped my pain. Started at 300 and had WDs so bumped to 600mg and helped WDs, but not pain. I had break through meds but Belbuca renders them useless. I ended up taking more BT meds trying to help pain on bad days but then sent red flags to my doc. He didn’t seem to get Belbuca did not work for me. Withdrawals are GOD AWFUL."


"Drink the full glass of water. Then this action is more natural than many others I have tried. Find the right amount for you and then it doesn't cause painful stomach or flatulence."


"I had a 4.8 mm stone that had been plaguing me for 3 weeks. I had been taking pain medicines off and on as needed and drinking plenty of water but I could tell (plenty of experience) that the stone was hung up just before entering the bladder in the narrowest part of the ureter.  I called the urologist to ask for a prescription for Flomax.  They were hesitant - didn't think I could pass it.  Long story short, they prescribed, I took it, stone passed less than 24 hours later.  Flomax   pain medicines   plenty of water = passing kidney stone quickly and inexpensively."


"I'm 19 and this is my first time using birth control. I chose the Ortho Evra patch. I started the patch just over a month ago on the first day of my period. My period was extended and lasted 2 weeks straight then I had a lot of spotting. On the 4th week (off patch) I got my period, cramps and all, and by this point I thought the bleeding would never end! I was extremely emotional and cried almost every day and would constantly ask myself "what is wrong with me." Now that over a month has passed, everything seems back to normal. Larger breasts is a definite pro! I don't feel the need to cry now, and everything is good. Enjoying the patch now!"


"Seasonique was the first birth control medication I tried. Of course I was attracted to the idea of 4 periods a year. During my second month of my second cycle of Seasonique, I had break through bleeding for over three weeks when I wasn't supposed to have any bleeding until the end of the third month. I also had moderate weight gain, intense cravings, moderate issues with acne, and hysterical crying episodes. I switched to a birth control where I get my period once a month and have had none of these issues."


"I started taking Venlafaxine a week ago. I already feel more at ease and comfortable in situations that used to make me panic already. My anxiety was making me feel breathless and even ended up at A&E twice, thinking I couldn't breathe. My doctor was sure it was due to anxiety so put me on this medicine. The first couple of days I was very tired and dizzy but that soon passes. Anxiety is an awful thing but hopefully this is working for me. Best of luck."


"I am a 43 old women going on to menopause. I was never diagnosed with attention deficient. As a child I could multitask anything. When I reached menopause stage it seems as though I could not remember things in general. I would forget to finish several thing I was doing.  My stepson does have attention deficient so he has been on it for some time.  I asked my doctor about the situation of my attention span forgetting not finish task. So he suggested for me to try Adderall. To my surprise, I was able to concentrate, focus on my daily activity.  So I do recommend this to any women going through this crazy menopause.  It really helps you to be yourself again. Not feel like you are going crazy."


"I have been using this medication for roughly 3 weeks now.  I haven't lost taste yet but won't be surprised if I do.  I am experiencing terrible headaches (all day long), loss of appetite and I am not sleeping (which I have never had a problem with before). Just wondering if anyone else has had these same effects while taking this medication.  I am a 33 yr old female and I got an infected toenail while I was pregnant....10 yrs ago. I tried every over the counter medicine invented...only to waste my money.  So, I am going to stick it out. I will write back to let you know how it turned out.  Thanks!"


"My doctor put me on this medication for the pain in my feet. At first it seemed to be helping, but about a week after taking it I started experiencing side effects like my feet burning and being so sensitive, my husband went to touch my feet and I almost jumped out of my skin! When I go to the bathroom, I am in there for about 15 minutes, and the things happening in there are not good:(, I can't sleep at night because my feet are burning, and I have the same thought running through my head, and it won't stop. Now my stomach is bothering me (more), and I have a terrible taste in my mouth.I know I can't just stop taking this medication, and I have a call in to my doctor, but it is Sunday, so another day of these awful side effects:("


"This medicine was great for sleeping. It was the best that I ever had because I have sleeping problems. Rate it as a 10."


"I am 29 years old and today is the first day in 16 years that I was able to wear a light colored shirt ALL DAY while 90 degrees outside and not have one wet spot under my arms.  I honestly feel like a whole new woman.  My closet has consisted of nothing but black shirts for over 10 years.  I have always loved color and have never been able to wear any color. Even in the winter I would sweat all day even if it was freezing outside.
I have now applied Hypercare for 3 nights and i have NO wetness..... its amazing."


"This medicine has really helped me. I can focus in school, get my work done in time, and it controls my temper. This medicine tastes very horrible, but regardless it does a good job and keeps me steady. It also helps me sleep alot better at night. But I have been gaining a couple of pounds."


"I had strep throat. I began a 10 day course of penicillin.  I began to experience all the major side effects including diarrhea, heart palpitations, low pulse, fatigue, and anxiety just to name a few. Needless to say the strep went away. But next time I get it I'll request another treatment."


"My doctor switched me to this. Horrible mood swings. Craving sweets all the time. And I've had migraines that I've never had before, while on this pill. "


"I have had nexplanon since 3/31/14 and it is a very effective birth control with little to many effects depending on the person. I have had some effects which are irregular menstrual cycles and weight gain which the doctor did say was very common. The first 3 months my period was 2 weeks long every month after that it went to 3 days a week for 2 more months. And from their I've had light spotting a few days out of the month and now I have no period due to nexplanon. I have also gained 20lbs. Also nexplanon has cleared up all of my acne with in the first 6 months of having it. Keep in mind this birth control lasts three years and it all depends on the person and the effects that will occur. Despite the effects it is very effective and safe."


"I used it again after my second cataract surgery. I had no pain/burning/staining, but I used it REGULARLY as directed. ALWAYS wash hands thoroughly before each administration. Just hard to imagine eye surgery without this medication."


"This product makes the cold sore worse. It made my one pimple sized cold sores itch and 2 more popped in the area. I have given it a chance in the past (3 more times) but now am convinced that it doesn't work. ITS THE MOST ADVERTISED ON TV but its JUST A SCAM. Please save your money and try something like tree tea oil to make the blister small and dry."


"I would not be discouraged from Paragard by the negative posts you find when you google it. I think if you have a positive, casual experience with IUD insertion and use, you are less inclined to write a review so consensus online is skewed. My experience was 5 minutes, discomfort for a couple of those minutes, and then it was over with. I was excited and relieved! Take 800 mg ibuprofen, wear comfy clothes. I realize all women are different, but I felt no pain the first day. A bit of cramping the next two days. "


"Oh my god I wish they could take this off the market! I'm 3 weeks in on Trinessa after being on Trisprintec for 5 years (ran out of refills and was put on Trinessa before Doctor could get me in) I have expirenced terrible anxiety and thoughts of depression. I have never felt this way in my life.... Im so happy but it is astonishing one moment I start to feel down and sad... FOR NO REASON. Also my acne has gotten worse. 1 more week and I'm back to Trisprintec, thank god !!!!!!"


"Had surgery in 01, then I re herniated my lumbar discs.  I use a tens unit, pain patch, and lots of aspirins.  My doctor prescribed Ultram 50 mg 2x a day or as needed. Haven't taken it everyday because I get sluggish at work. Works great for the pain, but makes me VERY tired. Also, I wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep."


"I had Implanon put in over a year ago, March of 2011 (it's August 2012 now.)
PROS:
-you can forget about it
-No estrogen (I think that messing with that hormone is really not good.)
-It was MUCH cheaper than anything else. I just had to pay my deductible.
CONS:
-I've had my period for what feels like forever. In the beginning, it was just slightly longer than my normal period and slowly increased to where I'm lucky to have 3 days without it in 3 months
-I've had minor hair thinning, nothing noticeable to others
-I feel more depressed
-I've gotten many more urinary tract infection (probably from such long periods)
-I've gained 35 pounds and cannot seem to lose any of it.
It's good for some and not for others!"


"I used Monistat 1-day treatment overnight. I had a small yeast infection, some itching and burning probably due to putting too much coconut oil in my bath, haha. It worked great for me. Before you take the monistat, take a test to make sure its not a batcterial infection because then the medication won't work. My symptoms went away within 2 days. I would reccomend this especially if you have minimal to moderate symptoms."


"Back on this stuff again.  Have had repeated UTI's for nearly 6 months now.  All the 5 different types I've had have cleared the infection. But the longest off any without recurrence is 14 days. Normally between 2 to 5 days and it's back.
Anyway had this stuff before, it's easing it but slowly.  But OMG I feel bad. Aches, chills (can live with them as it's over 30 centigrade at mo), nausea and I've only just taken the 5th tablet, 2nd morning of a weeks course.
One day I'll be cured permanently, ultrasound revealed nothing but hopefully, one day and not too far away....At least this one hasn't bought back my childhood asthma like one other type. Thankfully living in the UK cost is minimal."


"I have EDS and found Nuvigil (250 mg) very effective for remaining awake for the first couple of weeks then my alertness diminished.  I did find that while taking Nuvigil if I took a 20 minute nap in the afternoon, I awoke feeling refreshhed, not groggy and needing more sleep.  The major side effect I experience is nearly severe jaw clenching/teeth grinding during the day when I was awake.  My jaw is sore by 2 or 3 pm every day.  Also, I found it difficult to sleep at night if I took it too late in the morning. I tried getting up at 5 am and taking my dose then sleeping for another hour.  This helped me get to bed earlier at night.  I noticed that I felt more anxious also."


"My Doctor tried me on 3mg first. Didn't do much at all. 6MG seems to be working much better."


"Severe muscle and joint pain, and chest pain."


"As Percocet was not helping my back pain anymore my Doctor switched me to Demerol 100mg. Now my back pain is once again under control and I am only taking two pills a day instead of 6-8 Percocets. I have had no negative side effects as of yet. This is by far the most relief I've had in years. I've been on Vicodin, Percocet, MS Contin, naproxen, Norco 10mg and I've never had total relief until now. "


"I have a very sensitive stomach, most antibiotics get me extremely sick. Biaxin is the only one I can take that doesn't completely destroy my stomach. The only side effect I get from this is a bad bitter taste in my mouth (usually about a half hour or so after taking it) and its obviously worse at night & in the morning. However, I rather have that taste then have the runs, nausea or vomiting. I also take probiotics with this - the best ones I can recommend are the "Integrative Probiotic Pearls" yeah they are a little pricey but they work well when taking antibiotics. (I got at pharmacy, and my pharmacist recommended these specific ones). *BEST ADVICE* Chew a lot of gum/mints in between dosages, you'll get used to the taste after a few days"


"Our family doc prescribed this for my husband. He had tried to detox before with Klonopin and that just made him out of it... almost as if he was still drinking...couldn't drive, work, help with the kids, etc. He tried going cold turkey & that made him run back to the drink when the shakes and pain came back, but with Librium he was able to still function and go to work.
He is now taking this along with Campral. If you can afford it the two work well together. (I think it is unfortunate that many doctors are not familiar with Campral & it is very expensive without insurance). Great for "at home" detox when you can't go to the hospital."


"I have just been on Microgenstin Fe 1/20 for a month now. No period yet, which made me nervous until reading some these reviews. I was on Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 and wanted something with less estrogen. I have lost five pounds, no mood swings and I'm loving it. Only thing is night sweats and more emotional at times."


"An absolute 10! I use to have the most awkward, painful and random pain when urinating. I could never commit to anything because I never knew if it would happen. Finally I noticed really really hot water helps and alleviates the pain so I actually carried a little campers thing with me. About a year ago, well 2 years ago, I met with this Urologist, probably the 12th for that year. He told me about Elmiron. It is expensive, but if you take it everyday I haven't had the problem since."


"Extreme weight gain that I can't shake off. Stretch marks. Acne, heavy periods (10-13 days), spotting. Depression and mood swings. Would not recommend"


"Was in College when I treated. At high doses (approximately 225mg), I was lethargic, cloudy headed and angry. Drug caused SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction. It aggravated stress levels. But for my mom, this medication has given her life back to her, "curing" depression, lowering anxiety, and inspiring creativity."


"I've had chronic pain due to a Whipple Procedure/Surgery. I had basically half of my digestive system removed. 60% of stomach & Pancreas. Removed Gall bladder. 5 other surgeries done since 1996. Removed around 11-12 feet small intestine all together. 2 feet large intestine. Serious chronic pain. I've been in the very best pain clinics in Boston, Ma. Lucky that I was there or I wouldn't have survived. This medication is in my opinion the very best if taken correctly. Take at the same time. It works well long term. I would love for someone to read this and take the plunge. Instead of me having to suffer around 12 years. My quality of life is an experience that I was convinced I would never have. You must have the correct Doctor. You WILL B Happy"


"I've been on the beviq for almost 4 months. Since day one I have not been hungry I was 265 now I'm 230lbs I'm so excited I don't excercise much it helps me a lot. "


"Very good pain control. Has significantly improved the quality of my life. Before I laid in bed 90% of the time. Now I can do regular daily activities."


"One morning I woke up with a tiny unnoticeable cold sore so I decided to get abreva and so I cleaned the area of the sore an put it on with clean hands an went to bed. I woke up this morning with a huge cold sore that is now spreading bad . Never use it again"


"I'm 18 and have been having a lot of depression from having a surgery and finding out that I will have a hard time having kids. I'm currently on the 3 week of Wellbutrin and I'm feeling a lot better. The first week was horrible, insomnia, irritable. Week 2 was very tired but less depressed. Now I feel a lot better about life and about other things. I'm still quite shaky but it's not too noticeable unless I'm holding something. I'd say it's nice, helps."


"No problems and seems to help!  Have been taking for a while for my Ulcer and GERD."


"Absolutely changed my life. I got progressively worse until I would become so stiff after sitting for fifteen minutes, I would need help in standing. While nobody who sees me walking would mistake me for an Olympic athlete, I can move about freely and almost without pain. The best thing it gave me was uninterrupted sleep. Until I started taking this med, I could not sleep for more than a few hours without getting up with tears in my eyes from the pain, and walking around while chewing aspirin."


"I'm 18 and I had got the kyleena on the 22nd of May. I took ibuprofen before placement. The placement wasn't bad just felt like a really bad cramp. I've spotted since then, but now I'm like actually bleeding a lot and I'm cramping a lot. I would give suggestions, but heck I don't even know either."


"After a month of continuous surgery, I shifted to oxycodone 30mg every four hours. It sedated me to the point of uselessness. My MD put me on equivalence of Fentanyl patches, and bam, no sedation, no euphoria, few side effects like nausea and mild insomnia. Very tolerable. Best part was great pain control without the baggage. I had to severely reduce klonopin during all this due to interactions but still find that half the previous dose of klonopin is still effective. Only real negative I've noted is interdose withdrawal symptoms prior to changing the patch. Always on the third day, so I'm going through patches a bit faster, tho still close to 72 hours. Maybe I'm just a fast metabolizer?"


"I just got the Skyla inserted on 6/3/16. First time on birth control! the process itself took about 10 minutes. It hurt a little bit and I felt slight cramping after the insertion but nothing too crazy. I've been spotting ever since though. And just recently I've experienced some intense cramps so I take ibuprofen 2 times a day and it's been helping a lot. So far so good. I recommend it to anyone :)"


"Switched from Cartia to Lisinopril, and I feel 100 times better and it has only been a week! No more headaches and other fun things like mood swings, etc. So far so good!!!!"


"I had poison ivy on my face and left eye lid. This cream stopped the itching and gave me relief."


"Horrible product!!! Flesh eating in a tube!!! Thanks a lot for making a mild problem MAJOR!!! I can't even start to explain what this did to my face! Here take my money and ruin my self-esteem!!!!!!"


"Cataflam is the best OTC for period pain. I can function properly now. I use to take 2 panadol tablets which are pretty useless. I end up feeling nausea and tired. Do take this at the first sign of period for best results. It will be too late to take it when the pain starts."


"Remeron was amazing for my depression. I felt amazing. I had so much energy, I was sleeping, I was happy, and I felt great. Until I noticed the weight gain. I gained 25 pounds in 4 months. I just couldn't control my eating. I am so upset that I had to stop taking it. I'm back to trying to find a medicine that will help me."


"I bled for 5 months. After that my cycle was very light...panty liner light. In the past my cycle was super heavy. I have mood swings. I am depressed and my sex drive is gone. I don't have a sex drive..its almost irritating when my husband is trying to hard. Oh and I have gained so much weight. "


"After 4 weeks of antibiotics and prednisone, I developed the dreaded YI.  Got the Monistate 3 to hopefully resolve the issue by Monday morning.  After inserting the cream, I feel like someone has taken a steak knife to my insides and dumped a bottle of hotdam inside to rinse it out. Sure I was going to pass out, I reached for my phone to find others with similar expierances.  This is more effective than the Sunday sermon. Repenting of my sins now, I've taken pills and hope to pass out soon."


"About 4 days ago , I had sex with my boyfriend and the condom broke so he came inside me basically . Right away he went to buy me plan b and I took it about 30 min after it all happened . I just hope I'll be okay . I feel much better after reading these reviews . I can't afford to have a kid . I'm just 18 and honestly I'm scared right now but I feel a little better ."


"I stared about a month ago after a year of cipralax 10 mgm. I am still having about  three minor panic attacks a day. I don't want to increase dose but also can ride this feeling out. Interested to hear from older users"


"I have been taking Suboxone 8mg/2mg films for approximately 3 years now and don't know what I would do without it! I'm prescribed 1/day.Some days I take 1/4 in the morning, 1/4 in the afternoon & 1/2 in the evening. Some days I only take a 1/2 at lunch time. Some days I take a whole one, everyday seems different depending on how I feel."


"I am on Prozac, Wellbutrin, and Topamax for severe depression. I was still having depressive episodes and was placed on 2mg of Abilify. I instantly felt like a new person - what a relief! The "honeymoon" period wore off fairly quickly and I had to find my correct therapeutic dose at 20mg daily. With this combination of medicines I have been depression free for about a year! For me this is very unusual and I highly recommend Abilify. I have had no side effects."


"I have tried this pill for a month now. My symptoms include headaches, blurry vision, sleeplessness and spotting for the entire month! Definitely going to try something else to keep the cysts under control, probably Depo shot. I was on the shot for a few years a while ago and had no symptoms with no periods at all, can do without those!"


"I have been on Junel for about 4 months and it is definitely different than my other birth control choices. I am happy to see that my period was extra light so bye bye tampons and hello panty liners. Unlike other birth control, my acne was regulated before my period come on but during that light flow, Hello acne. I think I can deal with this."


"I started having migraines after the birth of my second child.  At first I was able to tolerate them, then I started treated them with Extra Strength Tylenol then Excedrin PM.  They progressively got worst.  This was the 4th medication my primary doctor prescribed and they really helped but my neurologist said 70% of patients suffer rebound headaches from it.  He said to use it occasionally (3-6 times/year).  Now I'm on preventive medication (daily dosages) with this as a back-up when a severe migraine hits."


"I bought this yesterday afternoon thinking it would be a quick and easy fix to a mild YI. I inserted the treament at around 10 pm feeling a very light burn...... it is now 2 am and my vagina feels like is on FIRE!!!!! of course I freaked out and started reading reviews and it seems to be a normal reaction. The pain is unbearable !!! I can't sleep from the pain and itching!! I have a high pain tolerance but this feels like acid was poured all up in my lady parts!!  and there is a fire breathing dragon inside me! This sucks!"


"I guess it could have happened on any pill but I got pregnant using this product. My employer switched insurance providers and the forced me to switch my pills 6 months later I am almost 3 months pregnant.  I guess it is a chance you take but I can't help but feel this pill is less effective, since I have been on the pill for over 8 years."


"Hello all! I never do these things but I wanted to share my experience with everyone. In 2013 I was diagnosed with plaque psoriasis :/ ointments helped at first but eventually my condition became worse. My self confidence was at an all time low, I couldn't go outside without feeling embarrassed. My doctor recommended Humira.  I have been on Humira for about 5 months now. I saw results in the first week. I was almost completely clear, I couldn't believe it. As time went on, my condition started improving day by day. Today IM COMPLETEY CLEAR!!!!!!!!!! I can't express my gratitude towards this medication enough. I haven't had any side effects in the five months I've been on it (knock on wood). I feel great and look great once again! DO IT!"


"This caused severe headaches sore breast and emotional outbursts. Rather have flushes"


"I have been taking this medication for about a year.  I started off with 0.5 mg.  I was still having some evening anxiety so I asked to be moved to 1 mg dosage.  I still had occasional anxiety in the evenings, so I asked to be moved to 1-2 mg dosage.  I find that moving up to a 2 mg dosage causes me some drowsy issues and I am currently tweaking it to where I need it. My anxiety is like nothing I have ever seen or heard anyone experience.  I know there are other people out there that have the same issues.  I think it helps stabilize my highs and lows.  I am more a bipolar type 2 person, which means my depressions are slight and my hypo-mania is somewhat great because I feel I can take on the world."


"Been on this for about six months or so 10mg works great but I'm constantly plagued with nasuea everyday. Some days I dread taking it but understand its my mental well being. Some days I'll take a day off and unlike other meds like effexor there are no withdrawal symptoms which is great if you happen to go away for a weekend and forget your meds. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't have stomach issues cause the nausea can be crippling. Works faster then other meds as well"


"I was prescribed Levaquin for acute sinusitis and I had a horrible experience after only the first dose.  My arms, hands and ankles were tingling and my knees hurt.  I got extremely cold and was shaking uncontrollably.  It was then I read the 10 page 'black label warnings' that the pharmacist gave me.  This drug will do severe damage to your tendons and after only one dose, I was feeling the effects.  My joints kepts popping non-stop with everything I did - walk, type, etc.  My joints ached as well.  My DR immediately switched me to another drug.  The literature claims people can blow out their tendons rather easily, even months after taking the medicine.  Not worth the risk of future joint damage when there are other drugs out there."


"I am a 25 year old female and I struggled with acne for approximately 7-8 years before starting Zenatane (isotretinoin). I tried several topical and oral medications with little to no success. It became extremely upsetting and frustrating to wake up an extra 30 minutes just to "cover up" my breakouts. I finally made the decision to speak to my dermatologist about accutane, and after completing some research I decided to go on it. I have completed close to ONE month on this pill and it is truly a miracle! My face has cleared and instead of having several cystic breakouts during "that time of the month" I only had one. The only side effects I have yet to experience are dry lips. I highly recommend this medication!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"HERE IS THE TRICKS; it tastes so bad,
1) add large ice cubes
make it very cold and you won't taste as much
2) my second dose I took straight up pretty much with just a touch of white grape juice and chased it with green tea, or let the green teas just swish in my mouth to get rid of taste
those tips will help;
other than that it works and you can! you can! get through 2nd dose with these tips."


"I am on 150 mg of the generic bupropion for approximately 2 months now. The side effects have been increased anxiety and irritability as well as really bad insomnia. Went to see the doctor and they increased it to 300mg a day. I am skeptical, thinking it will intensify the side effects but they are telling me it should decrease them with a higher dose. I went in to change to a different medicine, we'll see what happens. I still don't understand doubling the dose."


"Aloha!  I am a 41 year old female. I started taking Belviq less than a week ago and I am down 4 pounds already!  It would have taken me a month to lose this before.  Very minimal side effects that passed after day 2.  If you are considering this, give it a try!  It is a miracle!"


"After 1 week of taking Zoloft, I became depressed and had uncontrollable suicidal ideation. Never experienced anything like it. Went to ER 3 times in 2 days to protect myself. I couldn't shake the horrible urge until about 3-4 days off the medicine. I told my psych on the 4th day and she said that sometimes happens to people under 25?"


"I started taking Cyclafem on day 1 of my cycle about a month ago. Almost a whole month later, I’m still bleeding. I gained 7 pounds, and my boobs got bigger, which I expected, but I’ve been bleeding for over 20 days, I had a migraine experience that led me throw up breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and waves of cramps that would come and go. My doctor switched me to Loestrin 24 and have me meds to stop the bleeding. We’ll see how well this goes."


"Remicade has been a miracle for me. Last year this time I was totally desperate and thinking of get rid of my colon due to severe UC. Now, I am totally healthy and no sign of UC!!! If u r suffering from UC, give it a try without any doubt. Thanks to science and researchers. Of course, it takes couple of months to feel the full effect of it, but as soon as I got the first infusion I felt its positive effect. Its combination with Azathioprine works much better."


"Very effective medication, not quite as long lasting as similar ones, but very effective."


"I am 31 & was diagnosed at 30 with PCOS & until recently I haven't had many issues with it my periods were always irregular so when I got them it would be painful well. On 09/08/15 I lost a pregnancy at 10 1/2 weeks I have been seeing the same Ob since I was 16 she had finally had enough knowing I badly wanted a baby. Well since this loss to date 11/12/15 I have had a total of 12 days with no bleeding so pretty much 3 months severe heavy bleeding with clots I went from having perfect iron levels to them being so low I'm on the verge of a blood transfusion. This week I've my on upped my iron from 325 to 650mg a day and I am taking 10mg of Provera every 8 hours this is day two and I'm happy to say I'm already seeing results I hope it stays this "


"So thankful my sleep doc suggested Requip. It has worked amazingly well! I am so relieved.  Just the thought of having to go without it is horrifying.  I was in the top 5% with symptoms. It does not last a full 8 hours for me.  I also take Ambien right at bedtime.  I now sleep 5.5 to 6.5 hours a night.  Longest time in my whole life! I am 58. I drive a lot for work.  In the evenings, I have to stop and get out to walk for a couple minutes.  Sometimes more than once.  Small price to pay.  No nausea.  Just a couple nights with weird symptoms.  "


"I was suffering from unexplained nausea for about a year. I tried a host of other anti-nausea medications but nothing really seemed to be helping. My doctor gave my compazine, which helped my nausea but made me exhausted by the evening and caused me to burst into tears at least once a day. I stopped taking the medication because the side effects were too much for me to handle."


"I've been on Zoloft 50mg for over two years. I am a more relaxed and easy-going person because of Zoloft.  Prior to starting the medicine, I was anxious all the time, worried constantly about everything, and suffered periods of depression and hopelessness.  Now I am a better wife, friend, and person in general."


"Took away my poison ivy rash made me gain weight and made me psychotic I hate that doctors can write prescriptions to take one thing away have to write another prescription to fix that problem.  A bunch of greedy money making machines they are."


"I find Norco a great working pain releiver if taken before pain gets worse. No side effects for me."


"I've been on the implant for 5 days now and started to have constant headache with face and body tingling , itching and whole  body aches

Hope it goes soon"


"This is a miracle drug!!!!! So many times zofran came in for the save.

Saved my spouse, I and our 7 and 5 year old a trip to ER when the norovirus hit us. Took it after terrible dry heaves and within 20 minutes I was able to sleep.

This medicine also helped after my csection when I was nauseous.

When my son had hand foot and mouth and was uncontrollably vomiting the dr gave him this medicine too, within an hour he was eating fine!

This was also great for my IBS symptoms when they hit hard.

10/10 !!!"


"I took this medicine the 8 mg sample. It stopped me from urinating all day and had to have a catheter in E.R to drain the bladder."


"Fever chills fatigue headache pounding heartbeat chest pains and ached all over- I will never take this again!"


"I've been on Clonazepam (.5 mg) for almost 6 months now.  I already take Wellbutrin for depression but my anxiety levels were still a little high.  I told my doctor and he prescribed the Clonazepam and told me to "take as needed". Well "as needed" for me is usually 2 nights a week, depending.  If I am feeling anxious, I'll pop one. It has helped my anxiety greatly.  It takes the edge off and brings my level of anxiety down to a manageable level.  In addition, it helps me get to sleep quicker and helps me stay asleep.  From what I have read about the drug, it can interfere with REM sleep but I wake up feeling fine.  My only side effects are that I sleep too long and wake up feeling groggy/drugged but that's about it."


"Have been taking for 2 months. Went to the Drs. This week have lost 16 lbs. very happy with the results. I have no side effects and it just helps you eat less. I started them when I broke my leg and was totally sedentary so it was a life saver. Still taking trying to loose 15 more lbs.  I have tried other diet pills in the past and had to many reactions. I had lost 30lbs at weight watchers took two years then I quit smoking and gained most of it back. I am very happy not to have it take that long again. They are very expensive but they offer a discount on line 75.00 out of pocket. That's less than weight watchers and the gym a month. Worth trying"


"This is the first birth control method I have ever used. I'm 18.  I have been on it for a little over 7 months. I absolutely love it. Let me just start with the pros: breasts got more firm. My skin actually became more clean. (I've always had clear skin) but this helped even more. The only negative side effects I would say is that you sometimes may experience mood swings. I have  a short temper so that could also be my fault. This pill does NOT make you gain weight.  It only makes you hungrier than usual. I highly recommend this pill for all women. I love it!"


"I am currently on a number of medications (Effexor, Lexapro, Klonopin, Clomipramine) for my obsessive compulsive disorder and my psychiatrist recently added Abilify.  I feel like a cloud has been lifted.  While I still have OCD thoughts, they no longer "stick" in my brain.  They just seem to easily flow in and out.  I feel like it is my miracle pill.

I feel like this , at 2 mg, has given me the ability to prevent my OCD from controlling me."


"I took Nitrofurantoin for 7 days and while it cleared the UTI I have never felt so ill on it.  This was two and a half weeks ago and I suspect the side effects are still around but not as severe. Headaches, flu like feeling and ringing in my ears and chest congestion.  I don't feel back to normal.  Does anyone know how long it will take to get back to normal? I'm in the UK."


"I am 19 years old and have been taking Loestrin 24 Fe for almost three years. I have not had a lot of problems with this birth control. It made my breasts a lot bigger, I went from a 32A to 32C and I haven't gained any weight in the past three years. I recently have been thinking about changing birth controls due to the fact that I've been having a lot of stomach issues, and this is the last thing I can think of that might be the problem. I am going to schedule an appointment with my doctor to see what he thinks. I use to have periods that lasted at least seven days and after about 3 months of taking Loestrin 24 it dwindled down to two days. I have very light periods and they are really short!"


"Mobic - the miracle pill. I have had chronic pain in my right knee for the last 6 months or so, it was getting worse by the day. I have now been taking Mobic 15mg for two days and I have no pain at all. I have read that there can be some nasty side effects, but at the moment I really don't care. I can walk pain free again."


"I was a happy but chaotic woman with ADHD. I am looking for a substitute for Ritalin because although it worked miracles for my lack of attention an organizing skills it eventually wore me out. My new neurologist suggested Strattera (80 mg/day ). At first it made me very tired. After a few weeks Strattera changed me into an emotional wreck. Crying every minute for no reason. I'm still in hospital. I'm so tired of trying something new and hoping it will make the fog in my head disappear. But we're back to square one. No more Strattera fore me..."


"Its a great cream but, every morning I have to peel my skin?...my acne was fine with in an month."


"My son is 7 and just started Intuniv about a month ago. He has ADHD, BiPolar and Intermittent Explosive Disorder. He is currently on a lot of medicines. They started in on Intuniv because he was unable to focus at school and extremely hyper. With him being bipolar it is very hard for them to treat his ADHD because the stimulant medicines make him go crazy. He tries to hurt himself and others while on those. He is on 1mg on the Intuniv and we've yet to see any good effects from it. He has never been able to sleep well, they told me this would help with that. But sadly it hasn't. He is on a sleeping pill as well. He still tends to wake up very early in the morning. Some mornings it's 2am some it's 4. They told us to go ahead and add another sleep aid."


"I've been using it for 4 years. Never had a problem. I never had side effects until I got off it for a couple months and then went back on. I got some nausea and vomiting, but I've always had a sensitive stomach so it had to do with a combination of things. All in all, it's the best. I switch from butt cheek to butt cheek each week. It's less likely to fall off if your sitting on it."


"I took Plan B about 5-6 hours after the incident. My p tracker app showed I was fertile and one day before ovulation. The pill worked as it should have. I felt the side effects within hours of taking the pill - nausea, breast tenderness, headache, cramping, had to go to the bathroom all the time. Panicked for two weeks reading horror stories about it not working. But it did its job. Got my period one day early. Seems slightly heavier than normal."


"Been on this for 4 months. First month I had a little neausea and I got my period twice in the first 3 weeks each time lasting about 4 days. After that it went straight to a normal cycle. I went from soaking through 4-5 pads a day on my heaviest days to just some brown discharge. No weight gain but I'm having a little harder time taking weight off (maybe in mh head?) Sex drive is down a little, but its a small price to pay to not act like a crazy woman! Even my husband says he can't believe the difference in my moods. (In a good way!) My face cleared up, and minimal period! Working wonders for me!"


"I have been taking phentermine for a 2 weeks and have lost 12 pounds. From 213 to 201. It has significantly decreased my appetite. In terms of energy boost, I experienced it for the first few days and it has since worn off. I am overall happy with my progress so far..

"


"I've been on Enbrel since May 2012 for Rheumatoid Arthritis and took it varying from every week to as long as 7 weeks at a time. In March 2016, after trying to lean off enbrel, I started having issues with my lower back SI joint and behind my shoulder. I took Enbrel and it got better. I was officially diagnosed with mild to moderate Ankylosing Spondylitis in June by my rheumatologist. I went back to Enbrel every other week and I feel great. Just like the arthritis, my AS went away. I am only 22 years old but Enbrel has kicked two physical diseases and I'm so happy. Try Enbrel!!!"


"I was so terrified about the insertion but ladies please don't be ! Its not bad at all , I had skyla installed yesterday and so far its been a breeze. I feel as if I'm on my normal period. I did take 800mg of ibuprofen (advil) beforehand and that made it easier also I took tylenol in four hour increments afterward. Now I just feel almost normal. I will update if anything changes !"


"I was scared to start regimen about all the horror stories of HIV medication side effects. I have been on Complera for two weeks and have NO side effects. I was experiencing oral problems before that was due to HIV infection. I can't wait to get my labs back after starting regimen. I feel so much better."


"I am being court ordered to take this prescribed medication. I don't like taking any drug. The side effects I have are lethargy, diziness, my tongue doesn't work at times, I have knots in my stomach, headache, I sleep for more than half the day, lower back pain and leg pain and cramping. I am prescribed 25mg but I break the pill in half so I am only taking half per day. I am less angry maybe because I have no desire to do anything. I have been taking the drug for five months now. I just want to be drug free. I don't think I will check this site again but I would like some responses."


"First sinus infection at 59 yrs old. My doc is on vacation so "nurse practitioner" prescribes cefdinir, took for 5 days, stopped because side effects,cramping,diarrhea. Was given a script of amoxicillin which knocked out the sinus problem. The cefdinir effects went away a few days after I quit them, but  as the warning says came back 8 weeks later with a vengeance. Has been 3 months now, my PCP referred me to Gastro but when I told them I had went to ER and had blood work and test for C-Diff 4 days before she called, I was told they could do a colonoscopy but if I had an inflamed colon there was nothing they could do but make it worse, if not inflamed they could prescribe a couple meds. Neg for c-diff, taken 3 bottles of probiotics, lost?"


"Just 2 days after my 1st injection the bleeding, fever, vomiting stopped. With time the diarrhea settled down to 1 to 3 times a day, all the mucus and excessive gas stopped. Six months after starting my colonoscopy show  the ulcers and inflammation  had cleared and healed completely in the entire large colon down  and there was  just chronic inflammation in rectum."


"I have been on the shot for 6 months now (and am due for my 3rd shot in 2 weeks) and I have yet to get my period! I have had no spotting throughout the 6 months. I do, however, still have the symptoms that I would have if I were to get my period at the time that I would get my period, but they're not as bad as without the shot. Cramps are minimal. The only downside is I am a huge hypochondriac and since some of the side effects are also early pregnancy symptoms, I am constantly thinking I'm pregnant (even though the chances are 3 in 1000). I would highly recommend this method!"


"I have used Claritin-D 24 for 5 years.  I used to get sinusitis all the time.  It was so bad, I usually missed 2-3 weeks of work per year.  I was tested for allergies, but was allergic to nothing they tested for.  I used to take it only seasonally, but as soon as I stopped, I would get sick again.  Now I take it everyday and am very nervous if the pharmacy runs out.  I do experience a few side effects, but have learned to manage them.  For instance, I do not take it if I can't take it before 10 a.m. otherwise it causes insomnia.  I also have dry-mouth, but have increased my water intake to 8 glasses per day (good for me).  I have experienced joint pain in the last few years, but determined it was due to plantar's facitis.  It's changed my life."


"I'm pretty prone to yeast infections and while I was out of town for the holidays I wasn't able to see my regular doctor to get the usual remedy. I was advised to use this product and let me tell you NEVER will I use this again. My crotch is on fire and I feel like bursting into tears. I wish I would have read the reviews BEFORE using this product! My YI wasn't severe at all before I inserted the monistat 1, now I feel like I should lay in bed for the next four days. I've had it in for two hours now and I absolutely hate the feeling. I'm regretting using it and think it might ruin my vacation!"


"I took victoza for well over a year, and it improved my blood sugar readings tremendously.  My A1C had been as high as 9, and it got down to 6.9 with victoza.  However, I was sick SO MUCH! Constant diarrhea, burping (the nasty, boiled egg kind), and extreme nausea and vomiting.  I finally started tracking my sick days, and  in one month I was sick 4 days.  And by sick, I mean throwing up every few minutes, all day long. I had several tests done, and the only thing discovered was that I digest food slower than normal, which is what victoza is designed to do, I decided it was probably the victoza making me so sick.  I stopped taking it completely, and have not been sick for over month. Blood sugars are not good now, so waiting to see my Dr."


"On March 20 the condom slipped off and we didnt notice so I got her the pill 7 hours after the accident and the days passed by and I was freaking out because I'm still young and would ruin my future. April 2 her period came on.. and we are so relieved!! It says it dont work for overweight people but it did for her, 200  lbs. Just stay relax."


"Having been 9 months old when I was first diagnosed with Hereditary Angioedema, I am still one of the youngest cases on file.  For the past 40 years I have suffered with moderate to severe swelling attacks almost weekly.  At times life was almost unlivable, and the pain was often excruciating.  Cinryze has changed all that.  There are no more trips to the emergency room, no more narcotics, or steroids that ultimately did nothing to stop the pain, nausea, and vomiting.  I have a full life for the first time and I am grateful beyond words.  Additionally, my 11 year old daughter, who also has Hereditary Angioedema, will not have to suffer the same way I did.

In short, Cinryze has changed my life for the better."


"I was just prescribed this medication for GAD and Moderate Depression. My Doctor suggested 25mg once a night. I accidentally took 50mg the very first dose but I feel fine. It took me a little while to fall asleep last night and I feel a bit drowsy but I am writing this from work so obviously I'm still functioning normally. I realize that Zoloft will affect everyone differently and I am very nervous/excited about its potential to help me. I'm hoping that in time I will feel less tired. I take Vitamin B 12 shots every few weeks so that should help too. I've never taken any prescriptions before now so I was very nervous about this whole thing. The reviews have been helpful though, I wish you all the very best of luck with your treatments."


"I started Celexa after trying many other meds for Generalized Anxiety Disorder.  I can't begin to say how much I love it.  It' truly has given me a life I never knew.  I feel so much better and things now roll off instead of driving me insane!  Best decision I ever made.  Really need to give it a good two months.  That's when I really noticed the change."


"From 10 gut surgeries, never had such serious "output". Opium Tincture "Deodorized" (WARNING: IT'S NOT PARAGORIC!!) is a critical part of medicinal therapies keeping me from life threatening dehydration. I expect to heal eventually, but for now, the Opium Tincture is a blessing. It is the MOST AWFUL tasting medicine ever! When I extract the Opium Tincture liquid with the tiny syringe made for this medicine, I ALWAYS slowly squirt the tiny amount into a small glass of Orange Juice which is the ONLY thing that effectively neutralizes that nasty taste. After stirring and drinking the mixture, I then swish a tiny bit of water in the glass and drink it so I'm sure to get all the med if it clings to the glass plus cleans the glass for next use."


"Remember the tune from childhood? Stranded, stranded, stranded on the toilet bowl! What do you do when you're stranded, and got no paper roll?

EFFECTIVE!

Humour aside, food poisoning is way worse. Make sure you have TP (giggle), a couple of magazines, and fanny wipes."


"May have caused uterine hyperstimulation.  Even after removal, contractions continued to come 1 minute apart at 1 cm dilation.  Ended with cesarean. Mother required 2 years of physical therapy for complete loss of abdominal control and severe pain during bowel movements."


"I posted when I first got skyla (almost 6 months ago April 27,2017) and wanted to share my experience. I spotted for a little over 3 months which wasn't fun since it was summer. Usually wore just a panty liner. My periods definitely are a lot longer close to 10-11 days but lighter than they used to be. My bf can feel the strings in certain positions but says it just feels like scratching. (He can suck it up since I'm the one who has it inside them). Other than that I've had a positive experience. I've been on the pill twice and gained significant weight both times. Haven't gained weight or had acne appear since getting skyla."


"I was on Lantus Solostar and Metformin twice daily max dosage.  Sugar counts were still 300 and 200.  I was so frustrated because the insulin and supplies are extremely expensive with my HSA plan.  Basically, my problem did not improve and I was broke.  I ran out of insulin and did not have the money to refill.  My dr's apt was three weeks later.  I explained my low funds situation and promised to fill the Rx as soon as I received my next pay check.  She said "Let's try a cheaper option for you".  I said "Woo hoo! Let's!".  She prescribed Glimeperide.  I took a half pill for days 1 and 2.  No change.  I took the entire pill days 3 & 4...better...but not much.  I take two pills daily now, and I see IMPROVEMENT! WOO HOO!"


"I have been on Harvoni for over 4 weeks now.  I have had my labs and am waiting on the results to determine if my HCV and viral load are detectable.   I feel fine on the medication.  A little fatigue and my appetite has decreased, but it is hard to determine if the Harvoni has caused it.  I guess I have had the Hep-c for under 2 years, because I was negative 3 years ago.  I am so happy that we have a cure.  I am wondering if my fiance has the virus, because we were not careful about our needle use at times (addiction at its finest).  We are clean now and I am on Suboxin.  I am a Navy Nurse Veteran and I am not charged for the Suboxin or the Harvoni and I am so greatful."


"No problems at all. I eat them with aspirin, and it helps my migraine almost every time."


"I have been taking Phentermine only for 3 days now.  The first day I took the medication I had some dizziness. After the first day some dry mouth and very little loss of appetite. I do drink about a gallon of water per/day sometimes more and my workouts are excellent "I like to sweat profusely when working out" with this pill I see a good workout. I don't know how much I've lost because I only like to weigh myself every two weeks. When I started I weighed 208lbs. My goal weight is 180 lbs, but the Doctor says she would like me to loose at least 40 lbs. I can't wait to see the weight start falling off. I'm having some slight doubts about this pill. I still crave some sweets but not much. And I do sleep very good. "


"I've been on this medication for about three years now. The first few months were terrible. I broke out, had severe mood swings, I'd cry for no reason. After month four I felt completely fine. No more mood swings or acne outbreaks. My period got lighter, I stopped cramping as much. The only problem I have now is that I don't get as wet as I used to. But that's what lube is for. And hey, I'm not pregnant. So it's doing its job."


"The diarrhea out ways any of the benefits to this medication.  Horrible, just horrible."


"I have severe COPD that was exacerbated by broncholitis, which landed me in the hospital.  It has really helped reduce the inflammation in my lungs, and I can finally breathe again.  I am on a pretty high IV dose, but they are treating me well.  It certainly has side effects.  My gut is all pooched out, and I gained SEVEN pounds in a week.  Major bloat going on.  Heartburn, too.  It makes me a little hyper, and my skin is sensitive.  I have a back/shoulder ache, but that could be the hospital bed.  I hope the side effects go away when I am off of it, but at least I can breathe again."


"This medications was given to me after blue cross and blue shield stop covering levocetirizine which i had taken for 7 years. Singulair is awful.  Within 2 days i had nightmares so very vivid that was scary. The dreams would come in few minutes intervals during hours and hours of not being able to sleep at all. By the third day i had tremors in my legs which kept me awake anyways, during the day I thought about nothing then kill myself. By the fourth day  i broke out in hives. That's when I stopped it. I would not recommend!  I am very healthy athletic person and I love outdoors,  this medication was debilitating."


"I have been on this pill for 4 days and so far I love it. I use to take tri previfem, which had different levels of hormones throughout the package. So far, I have had no irregular bleeding and very little nausea. I have had an increase in vaginal discharge,  but nothing a pad won't solve. I have had an increase in appetite as well, and small mood swings. I highly recommend this pill. I have had a much better experience than I did with tri previfem."


"I have taken birth control for 5 years now and I have tried everything. The pill (horrible experience for me, my body just doesn't like it.. always super sick, puking) which I took for 2 years, then the depo, the nuvaring, etc. I figured I wanted to try the iud. My doctor and I discussed skyla would be best because of its size (I'm super tiny and petite). The procedure was not the best. I took a uterus dialator medication 6 hours prior, took 800 mg of ipbroprohen, and ate breakfast before
I went. It felt like a super sharp pain, was almost in tears. However, it goes quick and the pain turns into small period cramps. After a week I noticed a difference in my body. No nausea, no dizziness. Only symptom is occasional cramp and spotting."


"I have had allergy induced asthma for less than a year now. I was put on Qvar without being told of any side effects. After one month of being on it using one puff in the morning and one before bed I noticed a rash on my chest only and white spots on my tongue. I also noticed that when I was speaking that my voice would get deep and soon change back to normal. I started to go to a new doctor and was given antibiotics for the tongue yeast infection. I also had blood work done and was told that my vitamin D bone density levels were low so I now take vitamin D to take up for it. My chest rash got so bad that I had to stop the Qvar. I see a new doctor tomorrow but the two I saw after being put on Qvar could not figure out why my rash was so bad."


"Had my first infusion yesterday. It as to stopped just after an hour and a half due a rash that developed on face and spread to my chest and back and severe itching.  Dr's took the decision to stop the treatment altogether.  Waiting to my rheumatologist next week to look at options.  Have had to stop methotrexate, enbrel and humira doe died effects. Not sure what is left!  At 4:40am and I ave been up since 2 am with severe itching. The joys of this lovely disease ad the side effects f the meds. But can't fault the medical team for their support and efforts"


"I have really enjoyed the control over my excessive underarm sweating that Drysol has given me. I use it about twice a week. Occasionally it stings so bad I have to wash it off before the night is finished. The wetness control far outweighs the stinging sensation. No more embarrassing nervous moments."


"Dry mouth, sore throat continually and no benefit on lower dose hence continuously low immunity."


"I have been on sertraline for 2 months. I find I'm always tired sleep more than I am awake...have no energy feel totally drained it's difficult when you have to work..and I still have terrible heads..."


"I started using this recently and its the worst, bleeding does not stop even though I stopped using it after one week because I am anemic. I had Ortho before and had no problem at all but this is just horrible. What is the point of it if I can't have intercourse because of the heavy bleeding. I hate it and will not use it again, I think I am going to have to go to the ring."


"Taken in combination with a stool softener. Long term daily use."


"I previously took Lo Loestrin and had depression, breakthrough bleeding and just a general feeling of blah.  My MD switched me to Beyaz, and those feelings are gone.  And, as a benefit, somehow or another I have lost like 8 lbs in the past month.  OF course I exercise regularly, and eat right, but seem to have less of an appetite. Love this pill!"


"I finally checked myself into a clinic after 5 years. I have chronic pain issues, but I just couldn't take it anymore, I had to be off of the 75-90mg a day Percocet habit.
My doctor prescribed the Zubsolv (15 free while we wait for my PA with my insurance). He said I could take the meds at 12hrs but I was so afraid of precipitated withdrawals that I decided to wait 24hrs. My husband held my hand while I cried uncontrollably because of the shaking awful WD's I was in, and I have serious medication anxiety and I was so scared. As soon as I popped it under my tongue it began breaking down. The flavor was pleasant enough. Within just moments I felt like a new person. Highly recommend so far!!"


"I tried it and had a big attack. But I guess that's normal when you have anxiety. I read some of these comments and decided to give it another try. Lets see what happens. "


"I've been taking Ambien for years now. It began losing its effectiveness sometime ago. I can usually fall asleep after taking it, but now only sleep a few hours and can't get back to sleep. I started with 10 mg of Belsomra at midnight and it did not allow me to fall asleep. At 2:30, I took another 10 mg. I did wake a few times. With Ambien that would have been it for me. I would have been up the rest of the night. With 20 mg of Belsombra I easily fell back asleep. I did not experience any bad dreams. If fact, quite the opposite. The sleep was heavenly and I didn't want to wake up. It was the best sleep I've had in years. Because I didn't get to sleep until 3 am, I slept until noon. I hope I can regulate this in the future. Cost is worrisome"


"I've been on this birth control pills for about a month now. My experience with it is not that bad, the only effects I've been having are spotting after my period, some changes of mood, more bleeding on my period, my breast has been getting bigger (tho I like this effect), and the cramps are a little stronger, no headaches, no depression,  no weight gain (but if I get some weight in the future it will be fantastic), and it has been helping me with my yeast infeccion, and the most important, still not pregnant. I hope that my body will adjust to this hormones and some of this effects will reduce or disapear."


"I just used this 1 day ovule for the first time and it worked great! I did not get any burning or itching sensation at all. I put it in before I went to bed and feel a lot better in the morning. I would recommend seeing your doctor if its the first  time you have had a yeast infection but otherwise this is a good product to use."


"I recently had injection number 5 out of a six month course of Zoladex for endometriosis. I am 31 years old and have already have 4 laparoscopies- fortunately I do not want children. For those who are scared, the injection does not hurt. You can opt to have an anesthetic anyway. Although I no longer suffer from the horrific pains, constipation and vomiting associated with my periods, I do still experience bleeding after my injection along with cramping which as far as I know is not normal considering the aim of Zoladex is to effectively induce a medical menopause. This was meant to cease after 2-3 injections. But I guess everyone is different, this is what gynecologists are for- speak to them!"


"I've been using and still will use zolpidem for the last 8 years. I tried belsomra "clean off zolpidem at least 20 hours.The belsomra at 15 mg made me yawn. That was what the Dr. recommended. Did not sleep at all. Next day I tried 20 mg. Ever hear of sleep paralysis? Well 20 mg I got sleepy. I was impressed. I started to dose off and the sleep paralysis started to hit me. I got up and made some coffee and I won't take them anymore.Google sleep paralysis and you'll find it is not pleasant to say the least. And they wanted $300.00 for 30. Ended up with 10 for free with a coupon. Got 8 1/2 left and will not use the anymore.Took it 4 hours ago.Zolpidem beats this belsomra by far. I rate belsomra in the negative 10.
Merck, Thumbs down on this one...."


"(First month went particularly well, I didn't recognize any symptoms. I felt 100% myself. I was so afraid it was going to trigger my anxiety (I have GAD) but it hasn't! I love  microgestin so far. My first "off week" when I got my period was very different. I usually have a heavy to normal flow that last 5 days, but I had a very light flow that lasted the whole week. It stopped once I started the pill on Sunday. I am now three days into my second month, and I haven't noticed anything new. I feel great!"


"Difficulty commencing in meds, but eventually settled down. I have been on this medication, for 12 months, after 2 months developed neuropathy, but it wasn't considered that this may be the cause. This week after being on it for 12 months, the GP has stopped it to see if there are any change to symptoms. What I would like to know if anyone has any experience of withdrawal effects from this as I feel dreadful after being off it 5 days. Legs are like jelly, wobbly, nausea, headache, and extremely tired."


"So I ended my period 03/17 & had unprotected sex the next day (03/18) & my boyfriend came inside me so less than an hour later we went & got the pill. After taking the pill I did experience some of the side effects I was having bad headaches, fatigue, light headed, bladder problems, spotting & bleeding a little. I was convinced I was pregnant because my period was also late & I had spotting on my underwear instead of getting my period and I knew that was a sign I was pregnant but there was no way because I had all these side effects & I took the pill as soon as possible but I kept being paranoid about it but a week later I got my period & I've never been so happy to be on it so ladies don't worry just wait & be safe next time."


"I've been getting terrible migraines for almost 20 years now. I currently take Topsmax to prevent them. When I was younger, I was prescribed Fioricet for the pain and never thought it worked very well. I switched to imitrex, which worked miracles and now take Maxalt Melt, the orally disintegrating tablets, which are also a -triptan medication. It is the only type of med to get rid of my migraines. Just tried fioricet again in a pinch and didn't do anything! Tramadol does not work either."


"After several years of diverticulitis and some very severe attacks including bleeding, I gave in and medicated with Flagyl. I only took 200mg twice a day and my symptoms disappeared, relatively no side effects other than dry mouth. I was vigilant with diet and NO ALCOHOL!  Feel great but worry about re-occurrence."


"Well, the first time I had a major attack they put me on xanax but it messed with my head really badly and I had memory issues. My discharge papers noted that while medicated by it I had little to no acknowledgement of externally inflicted bodily harm/pain. What I do remember is waking up the next day with a swollen ankle and multiple bruises that hurry like hell from walking into things or just letting the car door close on me.
Later, someone recommended me this treatment, and I%u2019m very grateful with it, i can go anywhere i want without problem, no anxiety, no panic attacks, I'm a new person."


"Lost 9 pds on second week now and I watch everything I eat I read my labels alot more I know its important to watch all that you eat because since I been doing it along with the diet pill I lost 9pds and I'm only on my second week. I don't know if I want to increase the dose I like the 2 a day. Every time I take a pill I drink 16ounces of water with it then I wait and eat 1 hour later so with good discipline you will be successful I believe"


"I was diagnosed with ADHD in 2nd grade. I have been on medication ever since (I'm 31 now). I started Concerta in high school and I must say it did very well to get me through class in college. I was even in my majors honor society. Now I have to say I think the years of various medicines have caused some real adverse reactions. I'm very depressed and moody. I've gone from being the big go getter in my company to borderline at best. Worst of all I have a new son and my anxiety is really getting in the way of me enjoying him."


"Mirena was the most convenient birth control method that I had used (out of the pill and the IUD) and I did not mind it at all. Overall, Mirena was great but I had only had it for 9 months. I wasn't getting my period and I wasn't too happy with that (as odd as that sounds). I just wanted to be regulated and have a lighter period, but I didn't want it to be completely eliminated. Because of that, it had me paranoid and I would have to take a pregnancy test every month. Other than that, it was fine. My boyfriend and I both couldn't feel the strings and there was nothing wrong. I'm 18 and I just figured that I should try another form of birth control that allows me to still have regular bleeding."


"I have been taking birth control on and off for 10 years. For the last 5 years, I was on Yaz (which worked wonders for me, I loved Yaz), but came off of them. After a year of taking no pill, I decided to give Lo Esterin Fe a chance, and my body has never acted so poorly to a birth control pill. I have never experienced any of the symptoms I am about to describe on any other birth control pill. You have to take the pill on Sunday, 4 days after starting the pill, I woke up 4 consecutive nights with piercing pains in my stomach, and a severe migraine. On the third day of pain, I started bleeding heavy, and 4 days later I am still bleeding, am in tremendous pain, and decided to discontinue Loesterin Fe. I literally stopped this pill 9 days into it."


"I just finished taking my first pack after switching off Yasmin. Yasmin gave me migraine 4-7 days a week which was awful! My doctor switched me to this pill, and so far I haven't had any bad side effects that I can tell. Plus I don't get the horrible headaches anymore! I think my hair has gotten a bit thinner, but that might have been from the Yasmin (hopefully). I haven't noticed any breast size enlargement, but with my B cups, I can't say I wouldn't mind a little growth! haha. On this pill, so far so good. Also I thought I should mention that my doctor recommended to not take the iron placebos every day as it can be constipating. She said just take an iron pill (the brown reminder pills) maybe once or twice during bleeding."


"I went on Q in Feb of 2015 for exactly one month, not a day less.  At 5'7 and 173 lbs my Dr needed a pretty serious justification to cut me a prescription but since I suffer with chronic back pain she relented.  I'm a 37 year old woman who loves to eat and definitely doesn't work out enough.  In a month on Q, I lost close to 15lbs without pretty much any effort.  Now comes the reality check:  in the next year, I gained it all back.  Every.single.pound.  I didn't have terrible side effects while on Q, but I did experience chest pains towards the end.  So, the lesson here is quite works but you have to do your part.  Now, a year later, I got another prescription and I hope this time I will lose the weight and manage to keep it off for good."


"Neuropathy, still require some narcotic for breakthrough pain but only a couple times per week. Works well."


"Although the side effects can be very difficult to deal with but the pain of Trigeminal neuralgia is far far worse.  This last attack that I had with the disorder put me to my knees begging to die so I started my Tegretol once again and now 6 days into it no pain at all.  I am very nauseated and extremely dizzy but I will take the side effects over the pain any day of the week."


"I've been on tamoxifen for 3 1/3 years.  In the beginning I was fine, but as years went on I began time have extreme fatigue, feels like it's hard to swallow at times, anxiety, can't drive due to lack of focus, and hot flashes.   Oh, I forgot that I gained a lot of weight and I take Zumba classes.  I told the dr. that I'm having a hard time driving and he just dismisses what I say.  The nurse said that there was another patient complaining about the same thing.  I have 6 1/2 more years on this medicine.   I'm doing my best!"


"Just made it bigger and it started to bleed. Day 5 and no relief in sight. waste of time and money,  I just hope it did not cause more damage."


"I have been taking this for a week now. It worked the first time I took it. But now 6 days later, I still can't go.  I take it at the same time daily, with water, and before meals to no avail.  I am disappointed it doesn't work as I am running out of options."


"I was on Geodon for 12 years. I would take  it at night with 500 calories. No weight gain. It worked really  well for me for about 9 years. I did have mouth movements and then got anxiety. The past 2 years I've been struggling with all the symptoms of schitzoaffective disorder. Now I'm trying something new. I wish it worked the way it used to."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"I've been on 4 different HIV combos since I was diagnosed in 2009. When I started treatment I had a viral load over 1M and a CD4 of 42. All of the other treatments did work however their side effects greatly impacted my quality of life. This is the first treatment that has had no apparent side effects."


"this is my first birth control method I used and I've been on it for 5 months now. it's work perfect, periods are like and I barely get cramps. I did gain weight from this but that was the point of me getting on it other than for my period. I definitely recommend it"


"My boyfriend has used this patch many times with success but had slight side effects-mostly blurred vision. I tried it a couple of years ago for our cruise and I had almost every side effect there is to have! I started off almost immediately having blurred vision and my eyes became majorly sensitive to the sunlight. Then I started having a very dry throat (hard time swallowing food), dizziness and my stomach would gurgle (it was weird). I took the patch off when one of the passengers said she got really sick from it. After I took it off, I was ok for about 24 hours and then the real scare happened! I almost completely lost my vision, I could barely see straight and was very dizzy for weeks! This should NOT be on the market!"


"I was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder 10 years ago (recently found out it is actually PTSD/c-PTSD) and I was started on 1200mg of serquel. I was a zombie!  I didn't want to do anything but sleep. I was so tired all day. One day after taking my medication and then sleeping 10 hours, I then got in my car and was driving somewhere and feel asleep at the wheel. I total my car but luckily I wasn't hurt and no one else was involved. I lost my job. The "best" part though was the 110 pound weight gain I had in less then a year of taking this poison.  I've been off of the crap for about 3 years now but still can't drop the weight it caused me to gain.  Please be careful if considering taking this drug it almost ruined my life."


"This product is absolutely amazing! I had severe acne from birth control and it left me with terrible hyperpigmentation and I still had some cystic acne. I've been using Epiduo which helps but I still was getting bad break outs when I was ovulating and before/during my period. I've been using this product for a few weeks now and see drastic results. Even my hyperpigmentation is fading!!! I couldn't be happier. It's not harsh on your skin at all and it doesn't dry it out. I think everyone should try this product!!! Probably best for moderate/mild acne."


"I am immune-compromised from ME/CFS for 17 years. This drug at a dose of 1500 mg/day restored my cognitive clarity to 100%.  At only 1000 mg/day my cognitive clarity fell off substantially...a 20 point IQ drop, perhaps.  When my MD took away my Valtrex one time because she thought my kidneys were at risk after I had white cells in a urine test, I became pseudo-demented and had to use a three-wheeled walker without Valtrex!  I also have vestibular migraine that is treated with 350 mg/day of topamax  and it gets worse without the Valtrex. As soon as I went back on the Valtrex, I perked up immediately and didn't need the walker."


"Trying out this medication for a severe ear infection. 10 days of Amoxicillin did not work so Doctor told me to take this. The side effects sound scary but the long term result of no ear infection should outweigh the other stuff. I will try and report my findings after the 10 day run."


"I am a vet with post traumatic stress disorder. My dr. Just put me on 25mg sertraline. My first night of taking the pill I could not sleep. I'll have to wait and see any other effects."


"On my third month of using Accutane I must say it definitely works but the lower back  & side pain is getting out of hand it's depressing because I've dealt with acne most of my life & have used everything under the sun ,but the one thing that works I can't use ...I highly recommend it but be careful with the side affects"


"had severe anxiety attack, was given by the ER. one 1mg did the trick. my pshyciatrist gave me 10 more to use in emergency."


"I started taking Cyclafem on day 1 of my cycle about a month ago. Almost a whole month later, I’m still bleeding. I gained 7 pounds, and my boobs got bigger, which I expected, but I’ve been bleeding for over 20 days, I had a migraine experience that led me throw up breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and waves of cramps that would come and go. My doctor switched me to Loestrin 24 and have me meds to stop the bleeding. We’ll see how well this goes."


"Compared to before! It's great but just a warning: if you don't wash your hands right away/ go to sleep with it still wet on your face, it will fade colors of things. Also wash your hands right away and don't wipe them on a a cloth towel it will stain that use paper! And it may sting your face if you have open acne but it will go away in 5-10 mins!"


"I suffer from chronic constipation and was told that it is now severe. My GI doctor gave me Linzess 145 mgs. It helped a little. Then he increased it to 290 mgs. For a week it was fine with the exception of very hard stools coming out. I have not as of yet experienced diarrhea from this medicine nor do I have to run to the bathroom. Now, it has become ineffective and I am making smaller stools with required straining. I am still severely constipated and my GI doctor does not want to give me a different medicine to take. I am nervous that there will be nothing to help me."


"Extreme burning!!!! I will never use it again. I will eat yogurt (home remedy) everyday for the rest of my life rather than go through this pain. The applicator was painful (Walgreens brand) 3 day. Day 1 is enough for me!"


"After surgical menopause a year ago, I had the hot flashes from hell, at least every 20-30 minutes plus night sweats and no sleep because of night sweats so I started taking estradiol and that eliminated all of it but I was getting really bad headaches and I gained some lbs so I stopped that and read up on other medications that could reduce or eliminate hot flashes and came upon gabapentin.  It helps a lot, I still get hot flashes but only a couple times a day and no more night sweats.  The only thing is I'm afraid of weight gain but sometimes you have to take the lesser of the to evils.  I take 200mg. at night and that seems to do the job.  Love it!"


"Never have a period or symptoms of a period! LOVE IT!"


"I am back again.  I always revert back to zoloft.  Beside Paxil and Buspar, those are the only REAL meds with anti anxiety properties to them that are NOT benzo and addictive.  The other anti depress can work but I really need it for anxiety 100% not depression.  I had reported that I got headaches and body aches due to jaw clenching and grinding teeth and scrunching up my body at night but I will take that over the other side effects from other meds.  If i stay at 100 mg and not go up to 150 mg then sex is not affected.  Never gain weight from this med.  I will give it a try again and deal with headaches!  This one truly does work for SAD, GADS, anxiety etc...  Oh its way cheaper than the other newer ones I was trying."


"I have had my iud for 4 years now and have recently been experiencing sever heavy bleeding for the last 3-4 months. Other than that it has worked"


"I am 37 years old and was diagnosed with epilepsy 5 weeks ago. I was put on the phenytoin capsules and take 300 mg at bedtime (which I take faithfully). Lately I've noticed my energy level has increased and I haven't had a seizure in 8 days, but I notice I wake up with a headache mostly to the back of my head. I also have been having so really weird dreams. It is 3 in the morning here and of course I awoke with a headache and a slightly stiffer neck. "


"Joint stiffness is worth it."


"I have had depression my whole life. Tried Zoloft, Effexor, and 3 other medicines. I have been on this for a month now and its been great. Still have sadness but that's normal because I lost my dad not to long ago so I am still grieving, but the tiredness was the worst side effect and I still have it but I am hoping that it will go away the longer I take it. Only reason I didn't rate it so high is because I haven't been on it too long."


"I've been taking Restoril for over a year.  At first I could sleep all night but now I am waking up after 4 to 6 hours, sometimes I can fall back to sleep but usually not.  I take it 30 to 60 minutes before I want to sleep and sometimes am still awake 2 hours later.  Even though now I am averaging 4 to 6 hours of sleep it is so much better than 2 to 2.5, which was all I was getting before."


"I have severe pain left over from my chemotherapy I took for breast cancer. I took Percocet for a year but was having break through pain. I decided to try the pain patch which I started out at 25mg and worked my way up to where my pain stopped. I am now pain free at 75mg every three days. I have been pain free for 4 months. I am so happy. I was crying every morning because the pain medicines would not last through the night, not anymore. I am able to work in the yard and do housework pain free. I forgot to tell you the pain was in my lower legs, it was terrible."


"I used to get recurrent urinary tract infections but hadn't had one in 7 years. Just got one and they tried nitrofurantonin but it did nothing. I got Bactrim and the urgency and burning was gone within hours. I don't like taking antibiotics but UTIs are no joke. Bactrim worked for me and thank goodness. I get a little stomach ache but it beats the UTI symptoms!"


"First time colonoscopy.  Took first dose at 2pm with a lemon wedge chaser to kill the anticipated aftertaste then 32oz of water quickly thereafter.  Most taste was gone after the lemon juice.  It's a lot of fluid to drink at once but not that bad. 15 min later I was off to the toilet...off and on for the next 11/2 hrs (not stuck on toilet for the entire time though) this stuff really works.  Next dose at 8pm, with the same result as the first time.  I was able to go to bed at 11pm with no further effects.  Got up at 6am feeling good for my 8am procedure.  Doctor said the prep worked well.  I tolerated this bowel prep pretty well and didn't suffer any side effects other than the urge to go."


"I love this stuff. It works wonders. "


"Toradol has literally been a lifesaver! I have Cervical Dystonia, which gives me really bad migraines. Toradol usually will take my entire migraine away, and if it doesn't, it makes it manageable.It doesn't make me sick to my stomach, and it doesn't make me too drowsy, I'm able to drive home afterwards. The only bad thing about it is that I usually have pain around the injection site that lasts for a long while, but it hardly compares to the pain of the headache I had before it!"


"I get cold sores maybe once or twice a year. I keep valtrex on hand and if I take it quick enough when I have the feeling one is coming on, it won't even appear, if I wake up and I have the tingly feeling on my lip and I take it, it will reduce it significantly.when  you feel the tingling make sure you take the full dose not just one. Also the cold sore healing patches by polysporin are amazing! If you get a full out cold sore and put these on It will shrink it almost down to nothing."


"I do not like this pill at all. I always have headaches. I'm moody and depressed. I'm on Zoloft for that and its not working since I've been on this birth control pill my vagina always hurts especially during and after sex and I suffer from dryness. I'm 15 I shouldn't have that problem."


"Changed my life in a day.  I went from complete misery to almost back to normal witin eight hours.  The hour it began to wear off, my agony was back again.  For me it really workd.  I am taking double the prescribed dose however."


"First off, THIS BIRTH CONTROL EFFECTS EVERYONE DIFFERENTLY! I originally went to this site after I booked my appointment for insertion just to get a feel for what I was in for. I only saw horribly negative things. My own experience has been fine. Everything that you expect to happen on birth control does. My emotions got the best of me, but they leveled out. I had spurts of acne, but having the correct soap for your face makes all the difference. My period has been off, lots of spotting, but it's really nothing that isn't manageable. My sex drive is better than ever. And I havent gained any weight. The insertion process is quick and painless. I'm also not pregnant! Seriously, try it for yourself, every body is different."


"06/08/2015

I will be 42 this August and I have been a smoker since 18 and I have never tried to quit because I know that its not even possible.  I smoked 30 a day and I thought I cannot live without it until I tried Chantix.  I was smoking the first 7 days while taking chantix.  By 3rd day the nicotine was not reaching to my brains and I was getting little frustrated.  Well, isn't that what it was supposed to do.  Its been a month now and I have not been smoking at all.  I thank Pfizer for this drug.

Side Effects:  Nausea within half hour of taking the pill, but it clears away

                     Made me very hungry especially in the morning

                     Put on 12lbs in 5 days

  Started having blood in my stool on day 30 and I qui"


"Patch don't stay on"


"Was the only drug that was effective"


"This is my first week on Azor and not only is my blood pressure in the 117/80 range, I slept peacefully through the night and experienced wonderfully pleasant dreams for the first time in nearly five years!  So Azor is obviously having a positive effect on my sleep apnea as well.  Was a bit dizzy the first morning of the first pill but have been fine since. I'm grateful for the changes."
