"I had Skyla placed about 4 months ago. I have had a child naturally before, so that may have come into play for my placement. I came into the doctor's office while on my period, and the experience was uneventful. One uncomfortable pinch that lasted less than a second, and I was done. It probably helped that I was joking with the assistant the whole time, vs focusing on any pain. I didn't take any advil or anything, and after my appointment I went and got tattooed for 3 hours.  I have experienced longer spotting at the ends of my periods (usually a 4 day period, followed by a week or so of spotting). It's annoying, but I have zero other side effects, so I like it. Hubby can occasionally feel it, but overall we like it."


"I suffer from chronic constipation ever since I was a toddler (now 25 yrs). My boyfriend is a nurse and suggested this to me about 7 months ago. It definitely works, although each time has been a slightly different experience. It doesn't work well on a full stomach I have noticed. Don't drink too much water either or your butt may explode. I took it today after being constipated for 3 days at about 1pm and had my first poop at about 3:30pm. It is now 5:50pm and I've been to the bathroom every 10 minutes pooping out straight water. I have had perfect poops with this stuff and also experiences like this with mass amounts of diarrhea. I also have suffered nausea today and a couple of other times. My lower abdomen is also sensitive to the touch"


"I've been on Altace for 6 years. I carefully analyze if I've noticed any changes in any organ system, as well as any type of side effect that didn't exist before I was on this drug. I honestly have never noticed any kind of side effect at all from day one. More importantly, my blood pressure is now routinely around 110/70...sometimes slightly lower still. Considering that I take one 10mg capsule daily, and that my blood pressure was usually 145/85-95, the results are quite impressive."


"I started taking Ambien about 3 years ago.  When I first took it I did make the random phone calls and would eat in my sleep but it worked.  I only took it when I absolutely needed to.  I stopped for about a year then the insomnia started again and I took it again and the side effects weren't there.  I still take it every once in a while when I really need it (maybe once a month) and the side effects are still gone. Just sleep and I don't feel groggy in the morning."


"Ladies and gentlemen I have been using Otezla for at lease 45 days, at first it was making me run to the bathroom all the time, gave me the runs. Then around a month into the drug I started experiencing headaches after every use. I stopped after about 45 days, I didn't want to be damaging my brain. And after all the symptoms no signs of clearing. Although I haven't had any arthritis. But not worth the headache, literally."


"I've been taking doxycycline for about a year know and it is amazing!!!!! I has terrible acne during my 7th grade year and had very low self-esteem. So I made my parents take me to a doctor and he prescribe me doxycycline. He told me it would get worse before it got better! After a month of taking it I could notice the difference and today I only get an acne spot every 3 months to 4 it's amazing and I totally RECOMMEND it!!! BUT there are some side effects, do not take it with MILK trust me I was either on the bathroom floor crying or throwing up!! Also take it with a big meal like dinner.
And if you want something with MILK for dinner, wait a few hours after drinking the MILK and take it with some crackers. Hopefully this helped!"


"The drug lowered my blood pressure after first dose  so I was not able to continue"


"I've been on the Depo-Provera since November 2014 and I've been bleeding ever since. It's about time for my next shot and I will not be continuing to take this medicine. Whereas it may be effective but it's costing more money buying feminine hygiene products and it's seriously affecting my sex life. And I'm over the continuous bleeding."


"Used Exforge for past 5 months. Had blood pressure of 160/90 and experienced swelling in feet. It did get my blood pressure down from 160/90 to 120/67. Causes slight light headedness, because of that, will try lisinopril."


"Was only on 5mg dose for a month. Made my body have tingling sensations. Could not sleep at all after a week on it and trying to sleep I would experience hallucinations. It never helped with my anxiety/depression. Only made me feel "weird.""


"I was traveling and started having dry, allergy-related cough. Trying to suppress it long enough to give a presentation and Delsym worked perfectly. But as others noted, started to have diarrhea. I didn't connect it right away to Delsym, because when traveling everything is disrupted. Now home, everything had mostly cleared up and took the last dose last night, and sure enough diarrhea back today. I take no other meds."


"Really helps with my anxiety, which is the main reason for going on it. However the underlying depression that was masked by anxiety is not being helped by Citalopram. So rate it for anxiety but find it makes me emotionless, totally apathetic and tired all time.  So solves one problem but makes me feel even more depressed."


"I am 32 yrs old and have had severe chronic daily migraines/ herniated disc with lots of head and back pain ever since I was 16 yrs old. I also have a tumor on my spinal cord that causes pain as well. I've been on every pain medicine that's out there. My doc switched me to Vicoprofen 10mg 4x day due to it not having Tylenol in it. I've been on it for 2/3 months and it's working just fine. Due to me/my body having a high tolerance level because of taking pain medicines, mostly Lortab 10's for many yrs, the only thing I worry about is building up a tolerance to this as well. I can take on an empty stomach or full. I'm just thankful for the FDA coming out with this to help save my liver. Hope this helps others!"


"I took Arimidex for 5 years and only recently stopped. I had quite a few side effects, however, the joint pain and stiffness was the hardest. I heard about something called Ubiquinol, which is apparently something that is naturally produced in your body, but slows down quite a bit as you age. I've been taking it daily now for a few months and I have to say, the stiffness and joint pain has mostly subsided. I say mostly because I forget to take it some days. I'm trying to get better about taking it daily with a multivitamin. It's kind of expensive but it's way cheaper and better than any of the medicine alternatives I was offered by my doctors. I don't like taking medicine for every little thing. Plus there's a hundred side effects to worry about."


"I had read the tips and it worked well. Refrigerate the prep, get a straw and a lemon. Suck the prep as far back into your throat as possible. Just suck the whole cup down and then bite into a lemon wedge. It kills the taste off. It worked great for me! No problem. My problem has always been white coat syndrome, that is until I remind myself thats how I am . I had no other side effects. Just do it!"


"I've been on microgestin for about four months and wanted to look up what other people have said about the drug because of potential side effects I've seen. I've gained a solid five pounds since I've been on the pills that I'm having a lot of trouble shaking. Thats after being at the same weight for the three years. I also have zero sex drive, which is annoying as hell. I'm on the pill to not get pregnant, but if I don't want to have sex when I'm on the pill what's the freaking point?

I've had really bad mental and emotional reactions to other birth control pills so I'm sensitive to that issue but have not experience it on this pill.

Still adjusting and haven't gotten into a period cycle on these yet, but I've had no period on others befor"


"I had a severe allergic reaction to this medication. Hives on the trunk of my body. The palms of my hands and the soles of my feet had severe itching.  The itching was also in my throat and ears."


"This stuff makes a huge difference in the duration and pain of cold sores.  My dentist prescribes it for me because without it, I get a cold sore every darn time I go to the dentist.  For those who have problems with frequent outbreaks, do some research on things you shouldn't eat.  Nuts and seeds are huge cold sore triggers because of the arginine in them.  Other things that will trigger and outbreak for me:  too much direct sun on my face and too much exposure to extreme cold on my face.  If I'm really careful about avoiding the things that cause me problems, I can prevent them but it's nice to have the valacyclovir for those times when I don't get it right."


"This drug is great. It takes away the pain and I don't feel the period pain for a lot of hours. When I don't take during my period, my period gets heavier and lasts for more than five days which is not usual."


"I have developed eczema around my eyes for the last two years.  Elidel burns my skin, makes my eyes water, and makes my nose run.  In other words, it makes it worse for me."


"Fell out of bed 3 times  while taking this medication lucky my husband was Home to help me back to bed dizzy and confused"


"I had no significant problems with the Isotretinoin. My extremely oily skin prevented the medicine from drying out my face, however my lips did become extremely chapped. I suffered none of the harsh side effects, but I did do my part by staying out of the sun. The only problem I had was near the end of the five months. When winter hit, my eczema flared up and I have not been able to get it back to normal. My feet also became very dry and cracked, which is not normal for me. Considering those are the only side effects I have suffered, I am very pleased with the results. My oily skin is not nearly as bad as it was and I have not had a pimple show up in the two months I have been off of the medicine."


"I used this birth control for 2 years and it was awesome.  I had a little break through bleeding a couple of times but other than that I loved it."


"My Dad was put on Breo for his COPD however he had asthma as well. The breo made him worse and the doctor told him it needed to get into his system for it to work properly. Well after being on it for 3 weeks he died!"


"Dr. gave me samples....was on 18 mg for 6 days and 35 mg for 3 and now cannot stop ringing in ears which was NOT on drug insert........praying this stops..."


"After dealing with PPD for over a year, I began taking Effexor XR about 3 years ago. I'm sorry that I waited so long! I had been dealing with panic attacks, inability to sleep restfully, and various other issues during my daughter's first year. After taking Effexor XR (initially I was tired and feeling sort of sluggish) for about 2 months, I felt 150% better! I was moving around a lot more, wanted to be out and about, playing with my daughter more. It was a miracle, for me. It also took my mind off of dealing with depression, and focusing on being able to function. Actually being able to feel BETTER, and to deal with things that had been seriously affecting my overall happiness all along. It gave me strength to make life changes."


"I was diagnosed with ADHD very late in life, at 55. My main symptoms are depression, anxiety, insomnia, lack of motivation/energy and a raft of others. I have tried every anti-depressant available, most of which didn't work or the side effects were too bad.
I always seem to have to take high doses of medication, and ended up on 120mg of Strattera. It didn't do much for my concentration or cognitive symptoms, but after a few months I noticed my motivation getting better. However, it caused my quite severe cardiac symptoms and the dose was dropped to 100mg. I needed to think straight, so Methylphenidate was added. This was a great combination for me, apart from the side effects which often go away given time, but in my case didn't."


"Best pill EVER for fighting Allergies! Results have been Phenomenal!!!!"


"4th time on clindmycin. Twice for tooth infections. Second time now in a month for strep throat. 3 pills at a time 4x a day for 10 days=120 pills. I find it works but must be taken with lots of water and after you eat! And don't lie down for 10-15 minutes after taking it or you'll get horrible heart burn that goes from your chest up into your throat"


"Hi, I had A great experience with Champix. I smoked for 20 years 30 smokes A day. I had no side effects, sleeping was great. No bad dreams. I guess I was very lucky, it made my quitting easier.
Always remember there is no miracle pill, and what worked for me was Champix helped and by saying "I am not going out For A smoke so I can feel the same way I felt 20 minutes from my previous smoke. Non Smokers don't need to recharge  themselves with smoking and going out every 20-minute for A smoke" The withdraw is only the nicotine monster dying and crying for more nicotine, so don't give in protect your health. There is No Withdrawal if you can enjoy the experience of quitting smoking.

Good Luck Everyone!"


"I have been on 75mg ER of Venlafaxine HCL for over 3 months now and I really feel wonderful.   It's working very well for me.  I have plenty of energy, lost about 20 pounds of weight and I do feel very content and calm.  I do have vivid dreams that are interesting and long.  I socialize and react very well with people now and no longer have any fears of socializing with groups of people.   Again, this antidepressant, has so far, worked very well with me and I am happy that my doctor switched me from 20mg of citalopram, which made me very tired and gain way to much weight,  to 75mg Effixor  ER (Venlafaxine).   Everyone's system is a bit different and what may work well for someone may not work well for someone else.  I wish you all the best."


"It is the only thing that will stop my headache."


"After 2 years of very slowly losing pounds to reduce blood pressure,doc prescribed this drug.I reached my half-way weight loss goal(13lbs) after a month taking it daily.I stopped taking it and kept exercising and gained about 4lbs back.Doctor advised I keep routine and take drug for 2-3 days if I gain a few pounds. This drug was extremely encouraging after being stuck in a weight loss rut.Drink tons of water,you do not want to dehydrate on this! Be very aware of mood changes and addiction."


"I have been taking this pill for two months now and my experience has been pleasant. I experienced a lighter period the second month and my cramping was less severe. I did notice a significant increase in vaginal fluids throughout the day, and it actually increased my sex drive (not a problem in my opinion). My breasts grew one cup size on Loestrin 24 Fe as well, again, not a problem for me. My only complaint is the noticeable decrease in my appetite which I find frustrating because I am already pretty skinny. So far I've lost 5 pounds since being on the pill. My side effects are definitely tolerable though, and I'm not pregnant so that's nice, too!"


"Great drug, it lets me keep my new kidney, but it gives me terrible diarhea. Just got a kidney 7 weeks ago had my first one 12 years ago."


"I am tired and dizzy with this medicine. "


"I have inflammed acne and  I was on a different medication that made my skin super sensitive and extremely red, but took away the swelling of pimples but every time I would touch it it turned bright red so I switched to doxycycline  and after week 2  my skin has been pretty strong and less red! I'm liking it better than the other one, I'm on week 3 and I'm seeing some improvement, hope it keeps going this way! I would definitely recommend it!"


"I had the Skyla inserted today and it really wasn't that bad! The reviews I had seen made me very anxious and nervous, but the whole process took maybe 8-10 minutes. I took dilation pills starting two days beforehand and up until the morning of And 1000mg of Tylonel about 40 minutes beforehand. I did not use any numbing cream. My doctor just cleaned out the area and then put it in. While it didn't go in easily at first, it didn't cause more than about a minute of intense period cramp pain. It wasn't a sharp pain either, just crept up on you. Afterwards I laid down a bit as I was a bit sweaty but felt fine! I even went and did errands the rest of the day. No cramps really for the rest of the day honestly. I would def recommend :)"


"I have used this off and on for over 15 years. This is the only medication that clears up the psoriasis on my head in a few days. I have made sure to only use it when I need it to keep the effectiveness going for years to come. It doesn't make my hair oily, doesn't sting and keeps me clear for a few days. Love love it! My trusty fix :)"


"This is the first time in 10 years I have felt a cessation of pain from fibromyalgia."


"Had trouble going to sleep primarily due to anxiety and irregular work schedule. Prescription medications made me hard to wake up and hungover the next day. Now I take 2.5. mg about an hour before bedtime and go right to sleep and awake refreshed. It also has helped with my ED."


"I had a very good experience with this medication, and I took it for close to 3 years with a 6 month break in between the last 2 years. Unfortunately, I developed a skin rash that would raise if anyone brushed up against me and my skin would raise if I was scratched. I developed yeast issues and eventually had to get off minocycline because while it was curing my acne, it was giving me other health issues. My suggestion is to switch medications monthly because it worked for my acne when I used it!"


"I've only taken Qsymia a couple of days, but already I've lost several pounds and my desire for food, alcohol, and sugar.  Today is day three and I do feel a little depressed today, but I want to take it a while longer to see if the depression will lift. I'll add more info as time progresses.  "


"I have been on Metoprolol ER 25MG for 10 months.  It has worked great for my blood pressure and have had no migraines or headaches.  I do get really tired in the afternoon, which I never use to.  The worst part is I have gained 22 lb. and nothing I do reduces the weight.  I work out 4 times a week, really watch what I eat and nothing helps."


"I have treatment resistant depression and have been on 20+ psychotropic meds (including MAOIs) in the past 20 years to try to get out of the pit that is depression in addition to lots of CBT/other therapies and ECT treatments.  I started taking this medicine in the fall of 2015.  It was still very new at this point but I was willing to try anything.  It took several weeks to become effective and a couple months to help markedly.  I went from having an average mood of 3.4 on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the best to having an average mood of 7 in a six month period.  My mood has stayed stable for the last year, save for the infrequent dip down.  I am thankful for this medicine and the fact it gave me my life back after a decade in an episode."


"I was prescribed Lopressor after suffering a hypertensive encephalopathy in Juy 2008.  Although it has controlled my blood pressure, the side effects (fatigue, confusion, "fogginess") have become bad over the last 14 months.  I'm trying to convince my doctor to switch me to something else."


"This is great a couple of hours and the pain was gone."


"I have tried over a dozen different NSAIDs over the years. The most effective was indomethacin but the side effects make it intolerable. Nothing I have tried works as well as meloxicam with no apparent side effects."


"I've been on this med for 5 days now. MD put me on 50mg along with my Oxycodone 15mg 4x daily for severe pain in my medial scapular region. At 50mg, all I do is sleep. I tried breaking them in half and taking 25mg also. At 25mg, I'm in a fog feeling tired, sad, overall depressed basically.

Overall effectiveness of this med for pain... I'd give it a zero!"


"300 mg 4x/day.

I used to have horrible hyper-vigilance, hyper-startle, anxiety, paranoia, insomnia symptoms.  NOTHING (meditation, yoga, EMDR, etc.) helped that much, let alone fix it.  So, the doctor said to try this.  Because of my side-effect sensitivity, my doctor started me on 25 mg.  That first night, I slept a full night for the first time in months.  But then I started sleeping too much - up to 14 hrs a day on the weekends.  We backed off to 12.5 mg & my life CHANGED.  I'm under more stress right now so my dose is back to 25 mg & I'm doing great on it.  It pulls me down out of that watchfulness that prevents me from doing anything but surviving (and poorly, at that).  For me, after a near-lifetime of struggle, this is a miracle."


"I was experiencing quite a bit of nausea and breast discharge at first, but then I started to lose my hair and it never stopped!! "


"I took this shot to be safe, I'm a young teenager that is sexually active. I have big plans for my future, so I decided to take precautions. I was on this shot for 6 months. Yes it is indeed very effective. But my body did have some trouble trying to adapt to the medication. I can say I was on my period for a whole month, I got the shot so I can have safe sex, but being on my period for a month kind of ruined the whole purpose. I want to re take it again but I don't like the side effects I recieve from this shot.. I also lost a lot of weight, not to brag but cute butt vanished into thin air, & not to mention the depression!"


"AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE. My doctor recommended it and there wasn't a lot of information but she said everyone she'd put it in loved it. I bled for the first 90 days, basically non-stop,  it would stop for a few weeks and come back and do the same thing. Awful mood swings, anxiety, depression, all things I didn't have before. Finally decided to get it removed after 10 months and talking to a different doctor who said all they ever did was remove them and based on symptoms should get removed immediately. I now have a 1.5" scar on my arm and had a 1.5 hour long procedure of scraping it out of my arm because it was so encased in scar tissue. Don't risk it with this birth control, though effective it is not worth the side effects AT ALL."


"Worked for me. If taken as directed not missing any dose is very effective medicine for managing HIV, the side effects lessen progressively as your body gets used to it."


"I was extremely nervous and skeptical about getting this ESPECIALLY after reading all the terrible reviews, so I thought I would share my positive experience.  I have only had the Nexplanon for a week, but so far everything is going great.  The insertion was a piece of cake!  The part that hurt the most was the numbing shot they give, but that didn't really "hurt", just a little sting!  I have not had any side effects so far!! I was supposed to start my period about 2 days after I got it, but I never started, which I am more than happy about!  I have not felt overly moody or had any breakouts or bleeding or anything like that!  So far I am happy with my decision because this was less scary than the IUD & better than taking the pill!!"


"My mother has been taking it for one month and her dementia - which was mild - has gotten worse. She is confused and thinks that my brother lives with her. She was taking samples as she cannot afford the medicine"


"Today I've chosen to completely stop this med. On paper it's working, no new scars on either spine or brain but I've completely lost my personality, interests, myself and my life! Before taking I could walk without falling over my ankles, I used to be able to get up in the morning, I used to get dressed and take care  in my appearance, I used to get by without any naps, I used to be able to clean my house, I used to see the funny side and now I've completely changed as a person. I cry all the time, I'm so angry, I lose my cool over stupid stuff, I look like crap because I have no energy, I've gone over a stone/half in weight, I fall and can't hardly walk anymore. I wish I never started  this drug."


"I started these shots 16 weeks ago I'm now 35 weeks I've had many side effects retaining fluid twice headaches all the time nauseation and I had high blood pressure once. I think I would have rather try to do this pregnancy on my own yes I've had early term pregnancy but all pregnancies are different and I think I would have done better off without the Makena this time."


"severe stomach pain, severe leg cramps, burning chest,unable to eat, weight loss, red painful swollen knees,dizziness,chest pain,nausea,hairloss"


"I just had Skyla inserted less than 3 hours ago. I didnt do too much research outside of the website but from all the reviews I read right now its exactly what they said its a little painful.. Depending on your pain tolerance though. But other than that Im cramping as if Im on my period. Its tolerable pain, you wont die from it, though so don't over think it. By the way I too was nervous but it wasn't too terrible. I'll update again too let you guys know how its going! -Mariah928"


"I cannot express how much better I feel and am after trying Latuda. I'm on the lowest dosage, and I felt the effects within the first few days of taking the 20mg. It has been life changing medication but extremely cost prohibitive. I wish that it wasn't so expensive since it works so well. I used to be irritable, angry and unpredictable--occasionally reclusive and had big manic upswings of extreme activity. I had a hard time being affectionate and open emotionally. Latuda has changed my life. I want to touch my husband, hug my kids and I am not annoyed by everything and everyone around me. I take Clonazepam (Klonopin) with it at night and have not had trouble sleeping at all."


"It's 9 days before Iron man Louisville and I just had my second shot.  I'm 33, and ran 10 marathons last year and this year I'm feeling it.  I have received the steroid shots in the past but two weeks ago got the first Orthovisc shot. That was on a Friday and I swam 2.4 miles and biked 70 with no pain. This week I've run over 20 miles, one 13 mile run, and am still feeling good. The shot was no big deal - I just put ice on my knee the hour before I went in and right after and this helped. I didn't need any assistance walking after - it just feels a little swollen.  Oh well - time to go run!"


"Had skyla inserted 12/2/16 for my insanely bad cramps . The NP at my office did the procedure.. the insertion was like an extremely bad cramp.. I felt fine when I left but walking to my car I became week and dizzy and ended up throwing up in the parking lot. I had to stay there for about 30 minutes till I felt good enough to drive..  the rest of the day I was fine. The next morning I woke up with such terrible gut wrenching pain and a lot of bleeding .. I call my doctor they had me come in for an internal to see if it was in place (it was) over the next three weeks I was in so much pain and bleeding I called to have it removed on 12/23/16. My body had half expelled skyla and I was told I was lucky it didn't puncture my uterus."


"So, I'm writing this after a 6 year period of use from age 15 to 21. It definitely did its job since I've never been pregnant. It made my periods lighter and my cramps very minor, which is great. No significant weight gain or loss. No mood swings. (In fact I'd say that my emotional state became even LESS sensitive than before.) But man, was it KILLING my sex drive! And on the rare occasion when I actually was feeling aroused, my vagina wouldn't even self-lubricate!! Nothing going on down there whatsoever. It was a shitty situation for both me and my partner. Strangely enough, the pill also dulled my sense of smell.

So yeah, the pill did its job but overall, it changed other things in ways that really concerned me. Glad to be off of it."


"Okay y'all, so I got Nexplanon inserted in October 2015 and have been very disappointed with it since then (aside from its effective in preventing pregnancy).
I am a very passive and understanding person, but in December I noticed my mood was literally all over the place. I have experienced a TERRIBLE bit of anxiety while using this product, and I have never had anxiety even in the most minor form before. I am sensitive to everything, crying, depressed, anxious, you name it.
If you thought that was bad... I have had my period since the day I got it. Yup, almost 4 months straight now.
This is by far the worst birth control I have ever taken considering the side effects. It has made me feel mentally unstable and I do NOT recommend it."


"I just finished taking this after a 6 day period for pneumonia. It was all fine, except for the restless leg syndrome at night, but that I could handle with an iron pill. The last day I took it I woke up in the middle of the night with severe itching, I took a shower, changed my bed sheets, used lotion and topical creams. I took 2 Benadryl and nothing worked!

The only good thing, is my symptoms dissipated after a couple of days!"


"It works. It started to clear my sinus infection within 24 hours. However the stomach issues are unbearable, I could only handle 3 days of medication."


"Have taken this medication for 4 years and it has worked well to enable urination without discomfort but still relatively slowly. A missed couple of doses brings back the symptoms of slow starting and very slow urination. A temporary change to dutasteride alone, on holiday, was not satisfactory or effective.
I am now experiencing slight discomfort in the testicles which may be a side effect or unwanted consequence of the medication. It might be psychosomatic. If it gets worse I will take medical advice."


"This product has been a miracle drug for my 1 yr old.  Horrible Eczema...have refused to use this medicine previously, prescribed by doctor, instead trying natural remedies.  Finally, I gave up, after about 9 months of trying to fight it naturally...after three applications of hydrocortisone 2.5%, his skin is COMPLETELY normal looking...again, COMPLETELY normal looking.  I still HATE to use this on him, but I'm hoping it will be short-term as I find out the underlying cause.  This product did in 1.5 days, what I haven't been able to do with natural remedies for 9 months.  I feel defeated, but at the same time grateful that my son can now sleep through the night."


"Cipro is the only medicine that cures my resistent bladder infections. One doctor prescribed 10 days of Bactrim, but it didn't work. After 10 days on the Bactrim and being miserable and in considerable pain, I was prescribed Cipro (three pills for three days). After taking the second Cipro pill, my symptoms were completely gone! Cipro is truly a wonder medicine for me."


"I was put on Saphris after being on Clozaril for 13 years.  My schizophrenia is completely controlled on this medicine.  However, it is much less sedating than Clozaril and sleep is sometimes a challenge.  It also seems to not increase my appetite-- the first of its kind!  For awhile it was also prolonging the QT wave of my heart but that seems to have leveled off.  But I do have one major complaint.  It sometimes makes me forget how to pronounce words.  I guess this is similar to an effect of Topamax.  All things said, its good to be almost normal."


"Lamictal has been the most all round effective medication I have take and that is saying a lot for a patient of 40 years. What I mean by that is my system rejected all antidepressants and antipsychotics because of a side effect called Akathesia. I sustained on lithium and Klonopin alone for a long time.
Back then doctors were scared to death of Lamictal because of the rash that few to none got when properly prescribed. I couldn't find one to prescribe so I got it from my family doctor. That was the best day of my life. I titrated the lithium while slowly adding the Lamictal with no problems. I have been taking 450mg a day ever since. I also noticed how badly 30 years of lithium had hurt me. I no longer knew myself."


"I have been reading these reviews and cracking up laughing. It is true you do some crazy things while taking this medication but guess what? You are sleep. So it does what it says it does. I love it but wish I could just go to sleep without it. I've tried them all and my mind just keeps on racing all night. Ambien is the only one that stops it, if I don't eat before I take it."


"Works very well"


"I have chronic fatigue with my MS.  I tried Provigil several months ago but it gave me a severe headache and I felt spaced out.  Tried Nuvigil just today and felt jittery in the early part of the day and a bit light headed but I think I'll stick with it and see if I get the benefits others describe.  I didn't take a nap as usual today and I hope to feel more focused and energetic with my job soon."


"I give it a 2 instead of a 0 only because I didn't get pregnant. I was on this pill for 4 months. I had my period for 17-22 days of every month I was on it. My boobs were significantly bigger and I put on about 15lbs. I was moody, bloated and irritable. Wouldn't recommend."


"Was on Seasonique for a couple years, it worked extremely well. Hardly any breakthrough bleeding. Camrese started out okay but within a couple months, the bleeding began and would not stop. I had consistent spotting for MONTHS. I am now just coming off this pill, and have started with a new one. Hope this one stops the bleeding!!!"


"I have been using Phenergan to treat nausea for years. I have frequent and severe nausea associated with abdominal pain. It has been over three years and I am yet to get a diagnosis. I am grateful for this medicine. It is the only thing that stops the nausea. I would be crazy without this medicine! I was given Phenergan in the ER after I had a bad reaction to Zofran. It worked so well I asked the Doctor to send me home with a prescription for it.  At my last ER visit they told me they were out of Phenergan and that it was in short supply. I was given Bentyl instead. That also gave me a bad reaction. I do without nausea medicine in the hospital if they do not have Phenergan."


"Was diagnosed with Bronchitis & Respiratory infection. Tried other otc meds nothing seemed to work. Dr prescribed this after 30 min of the dose my coughing fits diminished. Take every 4hrs. Just had my 2nd dose so praying it continues to help."


"I was on Cartia XT when they discontinued it.  It is the ONLY drug that works for me.  There was no warning from CVS either.  I went into fibrillation.  The doctor put me on four different drugs after that of which none worked.  One was too hard and large to swallow, one had food dye and I am allergic, and one made my head ring terribly.  Another one is on the way but it is twice a day.  Since I also have fibromyalgia, I have to be extra careful. "


"I had to stop the combined pill (Yasmin) after 3 years as I had started getting migraines.
I am lucky my mother works at a family planning clinic so if I have any questions I just ask her. I chose the Mirena coil as the copper coil has a high chance of heavy periods and cramp (which I already suffered from).
My periods seemed to last slight longer, but after around six months they have get become very very light. During the 6 months I had bad cramps when due on my period which last days, but now have really settled.
My acne came back from pre-combined pill, but I manage this with antibiotics
I have had no weight gain, but I do have a healthy lifestyle.
Everyone is different, but I am glad that I perservered with the mirena."


"I was prescribed Elavil by my Rheumatologist and have been on it for 10 days. He prescribed a dose of 25mg but I am super sensitive to Meds and have only been taking 12.5mg. Let me just start by saying I have been on everything from Zoloft to Lyrica for depression and Fibro. I have had negative experiences with most of them. I was skeptical to even try Elavil after reading some user reviews but decided to give it a try. So far I have noticed that I have more energy and don't feel like I am in a fog.Other side effects I've noticed:1. Dry mouth 2. Weird dreams 3. Tired in am but more energy later on.4. Upper back pain in the A.M. This concerns me. 5.More social 6.No pain relief for Fibro. If anything I am more aware of it.Jury still out :/"


"This stuff works great. I was on 10/325 Percocet (10 a day) for 8 months on and off after I broke my ankle. I honestly LOVED the way the it made me feel and everytime I went to get a refill I knew that I was getting deeper and deeper into this painkiller mess. One of the biggest scares on the back of my mind was how could I stop without the crazy withdrawal symptoms I encountered when I tried to stop before. I heard about suboxone and gave it a try. All it took was 4 DAYS on Suboxone. I am opiate free and haven't touched it since."


"Started Trintellix right after I finished my 6 weeks of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation). Best med Ive been on for depression! Felt a little nausea at the beginning,  but have been on 20 mg for over 2 years. Psychiatrist and therapist think the TMS, along with this med, had helped me immensely."


"I had very good experience with this medication. Very few side effects or I should say none at all."


"i found this thread after administering monistat OTC (7 day, brand name) for the first dose and experiencing severe burning sensation.  it was pretty awful and lasted almost an hour.  i had been given monistat by prescription (before it was available OTC) many years ago (like 30) and don't remember it burning at all, so i was taken by unpleasant surprise.

i was very concerned about the second dose after reading all the posts here, but, the first did help with the symptoms of the yeast infection; the worst was the constant need to pee and being unable to do so.

so the second night i went ahead and used a second dose and in my case, it was much more tolerable.  same with day 3 (tonight), barely any burn at all.  and i can pee again."


"I was curious to see if Chantix would really make me quit smoking. Not that I've really planed on it working. I've even bought a carton of cigarettes a few days before I took the first pill. I took the starter week pack by day 3 I was down to 5 cigarettes from 1 1/2 packs a day, by day 6 I only smoked one cigarette and I was not even trying. The 1mg pills upset my stomach so I cut them in half and that worked just fine for me. I only used 3 days worth of it and stopped taking anything or smoking all together. So far 2 weeks without smoking. And trust me no one is more surprised then me. Needless to say I gave the carton of cigarettes I just bought away."


"I was on Bromocripton for two years. The side effects were depression, weight gain, extreme nausea and extreme constipation. I've now been transferred to Dostinex and spent the last year without the side effects and it's been life changing!!! I'm so thankful for this opportunity to feel normal again!"


"Was taking this pill every day at the same time.Never missedd a day. I ended up getting pregnant."


"Been on this med for 1 week.  30 mg.  Within hours I felt better.  I have fibromyalgia and depression.  Was on 30 mg Celexa for 18 years and it no longer worked.  Fibro became so bad I was afraid I would have to retire.  Couldn't work properly and difficulty concentrating in the office.  Went to a new doctor who recommended Cymbalta.  Started it in a.m. and by 3 p.m. the pain was starting to ease.  A miracle drug to me.  Stayed on 10 mg for 5 days along with the Cymbalta.  When stopped Celexa no withdrawal.  This med has changed my life.  The sun came out again.  Everyone reacts differently to meds so I won't say everyone should take, but it certainly has worked for me."


"Hey everyone, I gotten monistat 7 and quite frankly I wish I never requested my mother to get it for me, this is my first night with it and oh my God I am crying like a baby! It made my whole body shake and quiver in absolute pain, to the point that I am forced to run to the restroom and take a ice cold bath, the bath felt better than anything! I am in the tub for a hour now as speaking and I am still scared to get out.  All I can say is DO NOT GET ANY! I REGRET THIS CRAP!!"


"I decided to write a review because I was reading all the comments saying it's extremely painful when inserted and I wanted to share my experience. I had a baby in December (3 months ago) which may have attributed to the lack of pain and discomfort. The only real pain and discomfort I had was from the speculum aside from that I couldn't feel a thing. I didn't really get any cramping afterwards either."


"I was so nervous to get this IUD when I read the reviews!  I had to try a birth control without estrogen due to aura migraines that I was getting.  The process was so simple!  I went in near the start of my period to ensure that the placement would be easier.  My doctor said that the insertion would feel like two small cramps (measuring) and one larger cramp (insertion).  To be honest, the measuring was more uncomfortable than the insertion.  Quick, painless, and three hours in, no bleeding or discharge.  I was able to go work out after 2 hours!  I do recommend taking the 4 ibuprofen before going though...I'm sure that, that helped!  Do it!"


"It helps with my problems"


"I have been taking Tri-nessa for more than a year, and I can easily say it is a good fit for me. I have regular, lighter periods, clear skin, and it hasn't made me gain any extra weight. I take them at the same time every day and have never missed a pill.  "


"I have been on Bactrim DS for 7 days. After day 3 I began to notice severe headache about 4 hours after taking the Bactrim. Now on day 7, I have not only had headache, but light-headedness/nausea. With only 3 days left, I am going to continue the medicine. My urinary tract infection symptoms have improved finally after 5 days."


"Bentyl has helped with my nervousness and the resulting nervous indigestion. I haven't noticed any side effects."


"Did excellent job with clearing up sinus infection.  4 days in, however, I got hit with pretty severe diarrhea. Dr. had me stop taking since I was so much improved in terms of the sinusitis and due to the side effects. Been 48 hrs of diarrhea.  And 24 since I terminated the medication. Hopefully it resolves with the probiotics I'm taking and cessation of the Ceftin. I am concerned about the severe colitis I've read about but we shall see."


"I started taking Celexa a week ago for social anxiety disorder, and I already feel major relief.  For the first time, I was social at work and made new friends.  I feel happier and can focus on caring about other things and people rather than just myself.  I had social anxiety, but I can honestly say that this medicine has worked miracles on me so far, and I'm only on 10mg. This medicine has quite literally saved my life.  If you are experiencing depression or anxiety, in my opinion, it's not worth it to keep fighting it without medication.  I suffered from social anxiety disorder for 2 years before finally deciding to take it.  Now, I wish I had taken it much sooner!"


"I am off Saxenda after 14 months. I started the drug at 250lb and now at 180lb which is my goal weight. I am 47 years old and finally realizing you don't eat 4 plates of food, you eat one smart plate. Stay away from the junk foods. My wife tells me constantly she notices chicks checking me out where ever we go. If I ever need any kind of motivation to manage my 180 lb. weight, this is it. No one was looking at me when I was 250 because there is nothing nice about being fat. Thank you Saxenda for giving me a life worth living! Now I feel like a have a purpose."


"I am bipolar 2 since young been medicated on an off most of my life but keep stopping like most then moved to qld thought I'd do something about my bipolar for real went to a pysch and he gave me Zoloft a few weeks later I told my pysch thay Zoloft  was making me feel weirder than usual and was told it was normal about 7 months later I had the biggest psychosis. I had even had started cutting myself worse than ever. Plus a lot that can't be explained not like any other time and I know I've been in hospital more than a couple of times. While I was in hospital this time I was asked whom gave me Zoloft I should have never been given them and was told stop immediately as they were doing me more harm than good back to pysch ward I went"


"I started nexiplanon Oct 2015 , I had heavy bleeding that lasted me 9 days for 3 months . I have not had a period in over 2 months, no abnormal bleeding or spotting. I like it, I don't have too worry about taking a pill every day.I would recommend getting this type of birth control method."


"I have had mirena for 6 months, insertion was not painful just a slight pinch feeling, had a continuous period with severe cramps for 3 weeks after with worse cramps than ever before. I have had weight gain, spotting and bleeding for weeks at a time, headaches, severe lower back pain and cramps that feel like contractions for the last 4 months or so. The side effects have gotten better, still with bad cramps and weight gain, have not had a period in about 2 months. It is convenient and easy if your a forgetter like me, and if given enough time to adjust it is a good thing."


"The worst thing I have ever done!! Thought I'd be smart and have the depo so I never had to remember taking my Cilest pill, never ever ever again! Since I had it I have had big sore spots on my face chest neck and back one goes another takes its place! They are so so sore and hard most of the time nothing actually in them!! I HAD beautiful thick hair I now have thin hair, my hair has fallen out in clumps its also dry and very knotty no matter how much I brush it or how much conditioner I use (half a bottle at times!) Only had the one injection was due to have another in August but didn't! Desperately trying to get pregnant now and finding it very difficult having period pains but no periods not ovulating! Only had 1 3 week-long period in 3 months!!"


"I entered the beginning stages of menopause and my mood changed dramatically.  I was getting very concerned as I had never felt so sad and hopeless.  I could not stop crying and things that  normally I would not let bother me were becoming huge issues.  I did not recognize myself.  I am known as glass half full kind of person so the change was dramatic.  I was put on 35mg of Effexor and wow - what a difference.  Surprise, surprise my hot flashes stopped, ( I have since read it helps with that)  mood back to normal and strangely my joints don't hurt so much and I have more energy.  The few negatives are I yawn a lot and though I still enjoy sex I can not have an orgasm.  I consider both minor due to feeling so much better."


"Coreg worked fine for me at 12.5 mg twice a day.  However, as a former smoker, when my physician increased the dosage to 25mg 2x a day, I had trouble breathing, walking, and my feet swelled up.  Coreg should be kept at a minimal dose if the patient has an underlying lung problem.  My physician had to stop the drug completely."


"Just started Wellbutrin 1 week ago.  Was taking Lexparo 20 mg for about 6  years.  About 6 months ago the depression grew in a negative way.  I cut back to 10 mg a day.... BAD IDEA for me.  Hopelessness, despair, tiredness were just a few of the negative kickbacks.  Asked doctor to try Wellbutrin.  After one week my appetite is finally, after 47 years, under control.  I read that this medicine was good long term; only problem is the loud ringing in ears and this weird feeling in my head.  I'm hoping the weird head feeling will go away, but other than that so far so good.  Despaired feeling is gone, but I am a little emotional. "


"I started this birth control and it has been the worse experience. My periods were,ways regular on time, and I barely got cramps or back pain. On this pill I have been getting really bad back pain and bad cramps to the point it wakes me up at night. I never spotted and on this pill I spot every two weeks but this month it feels as a regular period.... Its not convenient whatsoever. The only pro I could say is a bit larger breasts. That's it!"


"Female smoker for 35 years (1+ pack a day).

Took 1 prescription of chantix (did not renew it)

Experienced zero side effects.

Have not had one cigarette or even come close to wanting one in almost 5 years!!

Chantix changed my life. I did initially gain weight, but have since lost it"


"I just started birth control again and after a bad experience with the combo pill, my doctor recommend the mini or micronor. While I have noticed a slight weight gain (5 lbs) my biggest concern is how tender my breasts are! Constantly tender to the touch, not just around the time I am going to start. I have no problem remembering to take the pill, my sex drive hasn't changed and my periods are only two days long. I have experienced some acne but besides the tender breasts and acne I'm a happy camper. I'll most likely stay on this for a while!"


"I have always been a size 0 my whole life and weighed 100 pounds, after taking aviane pills I noticed I started eating a lot and gained 20 pounds within less than a year all the weight went to my belly and my neck it was awful and now I'm trying to lose the weight and of course I'm off"


"I've decided this was the best option for me. I got Implanon in 2011, it was put in too deep. I was a little worried but not too much. I experienced mood swings but have experienced it most of my adult life. My breast hurt when I first got it and I experienced nausea while hungry. I never once worried if I were pregnant. Here on my second go, I learned about the improvements. Nexplanon doesn't allow the implant to be put in "too deep". I still have terrible nausea when I'm hungry but I've learned how to manage it the best way I can. I'm eating a lot more but I've also cut back on the amount I move so I can't be sure. Periods are off once it's put in, more regular now. I can plan my family when I'm ready."


"Its been 2 weeks only. I will give it the 2 months most give it for any positive impacts. Here's what I've noticed:
-muscular soreness at application site (shoulders/back are sore)
-increased nose hair
-annoyed off easily"


"If I never slept again, I would not take trazadone again. One night only with the driest mouth possible. Intermittent sleep punctuated with seeking water. It was kind of terrifying. To put it bluntly:  Rough. I had a rough, unusual uncomfortableness. "


"I'm giving this medicine a 9 out of 10  And if it wasn't for the severe stomach pain I would give it a 10.  For the past seven years I have experience IBS-D. In the past 5 years it has gotten so bad where I choose to stay home rather than facing the consequences that come with traveling outside of my home. I have had my gallbladder cheeked a colonoscopy an UGI (scope) biopsies ultrasound CAT scan numerous blood work tested for parasites  not to mention all of the embarrassing stool samples given throughout the years. It's safe to say it's been a dark road with no light at the end. This medicine makes it a little better and manageable. Hoping  the cramps will stop"


"Took 1 ducolax 5mg. I always say I'm never taking this stuff again! It works, but I feel as if it is not worth the pain and the overall feeling you get from it. Yes it does warn you on the back of the box what can happen, but I would recommend something else for sure! This is harsh!"


"I've been on progestin-only birth control for about 3 years. I started on Ortho-Micronor, I had a period for about 3 months straight but then my period stopped entirely. Then I moved and I was given Camila (same thing, different brand), it kept in line with the "no-period" havingness. It was great. Moved again, I was given Errin. For about 2-3 months I was ok, but I noticed some changes in my mood and some bloating. Then about 3 months in (February 2014) I had spotting. I thought maybe it would be normal after having NO period for 2 years, but then 2 weeks later I had a full-on period. Since then I've had maybe 3-4 periods in 2 months, extremely painful tenderness in my breasts. "


"I started Phentermine 37.5 on May 29, 2015 (a month now). I was at 211 (my biggest I've ever been). I already eat pretty healthy and exercise everyday for about 2 hours but I was not losing any weight. I had a friend that was on it and lost about 50 pounds so I thought I would give it a go. I got a small headache like one or two times, I still sleep really well. I went from 2011 to currently 196, a total of 15 pounds in one month. I'm hoping to lose about 50 pounds so I could get at a good weight. I bike ride everyday and run but since I'm starting my second month of dosage I am going to work on ab workouts and lifting so I can try to get toned. I'll make an update soon!"


"I had previously been on the Depo Provera injections for almost 10 years before needing to switch due to more recent studies into related bone density loss.  My gynecologist and I decided Nexplanon was the best option.  I never had a period on Depo, ever since the Depo has been out of my system I have been spotting almost 24/7!!  It is super annoying, but it's not a huge nuisance since the spotting is so light and minimal.  Other than that one complaint, I love everything else about it.  The insertion was very smooth.  Other than the quick burn of the local anesthetic, I couldn't feel a thing.  There was no pain after either, the bandaging was just annoying.  After 2-3 days I forgot it was even there."


"Since I started taking 15mg of Adderall XR about 2 weeks ago I feel like it's changing my life for the better. I can't say it is having a huge impact on me but I can definitely notice a difference when I'm on it as opposed to when I'm not. My concentration has definitely improved. I can stay on the same thought pattern a lot easier and also follow through with the task at hand. I feel more aggressive towards events that happen it definitely gives me a different outlook.The only symptoms that I am getting with Adderall XR is a loss of appetite. It's really strange how I went from having a huge appetite to just not even thinking about eating or making it a priority. I don't like it but it saves me a bit of money."


"This is the 2nd time I've used this medication the first time I didn't exercise eat better or keep track of my weight though I know I did loose weight.This time around im getting my money's worth since I pay for it out of pocket. I started on phentermine 37.5 on may 18 2015 I also got the b12 double shot which I paid an additional $20 for I get these every 7 to 10 days. On May 28 my weight went from 274 to 261 ,,that's 13 lbs lost. I exercised 3-4 days I am not changing my eating habits drastically but I am eating better phentermine helps a lot. I loose motivation at times but I keep coming on this site to remotivate myself. I plan to see my doc in a couple of days for another weight in. I am a 25 yr old female and am 5`7."


"I'm 49 & have had heavy bleeding, big clots, terrible cramping ALL my life. With the heavy blood loss i had very low heamaglobin & anemia. Twice I had to have a course of iron vaccines in my butt leaving stains for years. Had Mirena put in by gyno when I was 45. She said to give it so least a year to settle & it will be worth it. She was right. First 10 months my periods were all over the place compared to before regular 28day cycle all my life but the flow got less & less. Cramping reduced couple months after insertion of Mirena. Definitely by 1 year my periods had stopped "


"When used correctly it works well within the 60 to 90 minute time for satisfactory and excellent results. Quick injections and within 10 minutes, you are ready."


"My son was diagnosed ADHD in 4th grade, he's now in 7th. Since that time we've tried many medications. We finally settled on Metadate, and it worked great, but we kept having to up the dosage, until he's now on 60mg. The doctor recommended adding Intuniv to the Metadate. He was cranky and irritable the first week, but now at week 3 and 2mg dosage, the crankiness seems to be getting better. What I have seen with Intuniv is that he's very difficult to get up in the mornings. But on a good note, if I miss the Metadate medication, his behavior is still pretty good. He's not bouncing all over the house. When he's on both the medications, he's doing really good. I do have hopes to eventually get him off the stimulant all together."


"Olanzapine give me really bad palpitations and anxiety was taking 20 milligrams a day so came off them."


"I have using these for post stroke pain for only  one week I think I saw some slight Improvement but I'm taking gabapentin and Lyrica as well I want to get off them because I've gained so much weight 60 pounds in 3 years."


"I've been taking Toviaz 8mg for the past 3 weeks and it's been a life saver for me. Not being able to control urinating had been getting worse and worse over the past 3 yrs. I was given a 2 week sample of the 8mg after I had a urodynamic study done. It found that my bladder functioned perfectly normal - no spasms. The next day I didn't make it into work, I had to go home and clean up/change clothes. So, I've been taking the Toviaz since that day and BAM the sudden urges are gone! I do have the chronic dry mouth and mild tiredness and found that taking it during the day verses at night was the better solution. Waking up with cotton mouth in the middle of the night was a big problem. I suggest trying it, it's worth it!"


"This review is for Teva Pharmaceuticals generic version of Vagifem. The applicator is terrible! Often it does not dispense the tablet. I never had this problem with Vagifem or with Yuvafem. Definitely a sub-standard product. Will try to find another option!"


"I'm 40 years old and ever since I hit puberty, my clocks have been backwards - up all night, sleeping until noon . I've tried everything. I've been on Rozerem for a year now and it's changed my life completely! I was reluctant at first, because it's slow working and I wanted an immediate fix. Things like Ambien did this, but only in short term. Rozerem took some time to really work, about a full month, but looking back it was so worth it! I have ADHD so deal with daytime sleepiness also. To counter that, I also take Nuvigil. This combination has been the best EVER! I'm productive and wake up easily. I'm convinced that Rozerem is the key. I couldn't sleep all day even if I wanted to - the daylight wakes me! Finally, my clocks are right!"


"I was previously on tri-cyclen until they switched me over to tri-sprintec. At first I hadn't noticed a difference between the two, but about a few weeks in I noticed that I started to feel a lot more nauseous. Now that I am about a month into tri-sprintec I've had about all the symptoms in the book. I have had increased negative mods swings which have put a big damper on my relationship almost causing me to lose a person I love over dumb stupid fights which are caused by me being very irritable throughout the day. Every night this week I've cried for no reason and I constantly feel depressed and my anxiety has been very bad. My boobs are constantly sore, my discharge smells disgusting, I can barely eat, and I'm always angry. Do not use!"


"Was prescribed this by my OB for a mild case of bv. Took one pill on a full stomach. It tasted awful and I immediately threw up everything I had eaten. Then I read the paperwork from the pharmacy and it said to ask your Dr if you're less than 12 weeks pregnant... I just hit 8 weeks today. Should I trust the Dr or just say no to flagyl?"


"I am 16 years old and have been taking Yaz for four months now to lighten my period and help with PMS. It has really helped me. It took my body the first few months to get used to it (I had mild breakouts, mood swings, tender breasts and little if no change in period flow or PMS), but after about two months it has worked quite well. My periods are lighter, I rarely get cramps and when I do they are very mild and it has also made my skin softer and clearer. I don't get as moody or as emotional either. I would say the only down fall is that I crave food a lot, but that might have nothing to do with Yaz, and besides I don't think my weight has changed more than a pound. Good experience so far."


"I have used every product out there- many did not work and others made my skin so dry and red.  Aczone works beautifully- my skin is very clear most of the time.  Highly recommended."


"Atorvastatin ensures a great night of sleep but I am very upset about my weight loss:(( almost a pound per week. Plan to ask my doctor what my options are. It has lowered my cholesterol significantly but still need to watch what I eat. This is my first time ever on meds."


"symptoms: SEVERE abdominal pain, constipation, nausea, achey pain in back, fatigue, chills, sweating, headache, cough.

i just finishd my last dose of macrobid and I believe it cleared up my UTI but these side effects are not worth it. The abdominal pain
I have been having is so bad that it has woken me up from my sleep 3 nights in a row. I have the chills and because of the abdominal pain it is hard to eat. I also have terrible headaches that worsen with certain movements or lights. This pill is awful and I wish I would've known about these symptoms before starting."


"I hsve HSV1  on geitals from oral sex. I was in denial. 1 had 3 red spots in labia major..turn to ulcer state.. terrible burn during urination &.crazy tingly itchy. and red swollen vulva duffeted a week...I read about lysine. took 3 1000 mg per day.after 3 days marked reduction almost gone"


"I love this birth control. I got no acne on this and it made my boobs grow a full cup size no lie the only thing I didn't like was I kept getting scared that it would fall off but what i do is when i switch it i put the new one on where the old one was so its extra sticky (don't do this if your skin gets irritated or red) but yeah I'm switching back cause i miss it and no pill i've tried made my skin as clear as xulane does lol!"


"I rate this a 5 because this worked for me 3 years ago. I originally started taking it for fibromyalgia and it essentially took away my pain in a week or two. I stayed in it for about a year and a half and noticed how less anxious I felt. I tapered off over 6 months which has its side effects,  but nothing like others have reported. I write this review though in case someone has had a similar experience. I went back on about a month ago, this time solely due to anxiety. I took two pills and started have burning on my tongue and lips. I will also mention that I took Xanax these two days as well so I can't be certain it was the venaflaxine. I then started having 24/7 panic, lost 12 lbs in 2 weeks and blood pressure went really high."


"My son took every pain pill there is for his chronic pain. Then a doctor tried the 25 size patch on him. It was not enough. We went to the 50 size and it did the job. He was a world of better on the patches. He felt better all the time and was not getting constipated as he did on the pills. He never feels euphoric on the patch. The only complaint was that the patches wear off after the second day.
 I called Mylan Laboratories and discussed the patches with the Information person. She said that a lot of patients absorb the medicine quicker than others and those patients change the patch every other day. We are now using a 25 size and changing it every other day."


"Was given this medication to treat a secondary infection from bronchitis (because the original doctor only gave me 5 days of medicines). After 24 hours of taking this medication a second time I was hospitalized for 5 days with a severe allergic reaction."


"Its July 3, 2011 and I got the Mirena on February 25 2011. It did feel very uncomfortable when I got it but other than that I haven't had any issues. I'm still waiting in my periods to lighten up or go away but unfortunately I STILL have them. Not complaining too much because that reassures me that I'm not pregnant. I'm less sexually active compared to before I had it but not because I'm not in the mood its just because I have not had time. I do not feel the strings but I'm going to go and get a pelvic ultrasound to make sure its still there."


"I would personally give QVAR 80 a 10 out of 10.  I used my albuterol rescue inhaler 2-3 times a day and 1-2 in the middle of the night.  I'd wake up tight-chested and wheezing for no reason, exercise gave me asthma attacks as did my animal/plant allergies, changes in the weather and even laughing.  Since being on QVAR, I don't use my albuterol at all, like once every couple of months.  That's why I was so happy for my 5 1/2 year old son when his pediatrician put him on QVAR...he only had attacks when he had a virus.  Every single cold would go directly to his chest.  However, after being on QVAR for 4 weeks (and not having had any colds, we don't know its effectiveness) he has been having the most long, dragged out and intense tantrums."


"I've been meaning to post my positive review of Zoloft for a while. This past summer I suffered probably the worst social anxiety I had ever encountered in my life. I had started a new job where I was expected to speak to others on a daily basis. It was gut wrenching. I fell apart, crying, screaming, and forcing myself to go to work. Even when I was at work I would hide in the bathroom and pee incessantly out of nervousness. Finally I found a good psychiatrist and got back on Zoloft. I had been on Zoloft 50mg earlier in the year, but stopped because I feared it might affect my fertility. After meeting with the shrink I was upped to 200 mgs gradually. Since then I have been so happy and full of life. This drug really has worked for me."


"Day 10 of Saxenda I cannot believe that my sugar cravings disappeared the first day. Nausea has been a big issue but I started adding slices of fresh ginger to my water and that has saved me. I'm down 5 lbs. I split the 1.2 dose to .6 morning and afternoon. It's working I'm thrilled. Insurance covered all but $200 a month, but the doc gave me a savings card that you can get online so next 10 months will be $30."


"This medication gave me my life back.  I can not get through the day with no cramping, no bathroom runs hoping to make it........I highly recommend you at least try this medication.  Made a world of difference for me with absolutely no side effects.  YES!  THIS IS A GREAT RX FOR IBS!!"


"I suffer from sold sores very often (couple of times per year), and usually I treat them with Zovirax, a Aciclovir cream. Apparently in the US, you need to have a prescription for it, which I didn't have the time and money for, so I bought the next best thing the pharmacist recommended to buy off the shelf. I was very skeptical at first, but I have to say IT WORKS! After 2.5 days, my cold sore is almost gone - that's faster than how it works with the Aciclovir cream! The cold sore got smaller each time applied the cream (I applied it more than 5 times a day), and I also started to use it after the blisters had appeared already. I can definitely recommend this cream!"


"I did have dry eyes for a couple of days but using the eye drops because I have always had dry eyes helps a lot.  I am so happy to not be running to the bathroom every ten minutes is a blessing.  Some days I was not able to make it home, always had to stop.  So it works for me.  We must realize that each of us will not experience the same thing.  What effects one person may not effect the other."


"I've only been on the IUD for little over 3 weeks now. I've started my period on the 30th of November, it is now the 9th of December. I normally have heavy flows which is why I chose to go on the IUD because I have friends who say it stopped their periods or they'd just spot, it's just making my period last longer then usual. 10 days is a long time and it doesn't seem to be stopping. If it continues within this week, I will get it removed."


"I have been on this birth control for 3 months now. At first I didn't really notice anything, but recently I have realized that I have gained a couple pounds, even though I work out 5 times a week and eat relatively healthy. The worst part is my mood- I'll be happy-go-lucky one second, then become a psycho emotional wreck the next. I flip out about EVERYTHING and get really upset; I used to be very mellow and laid back. However, it has really cleared up my skin and my period is regular now."


"Okay I have been experiencing heavy bleeding where I was bleeding everyday, now I am severely anemic.  I have been on huge iron pills. I started Lo Loestrin and on my 3rd month. I am experiencing bad acne, spotting and still have abnormal periods. I am trying my best to be patient and allow the pills to take effect.  My period started on the 18th and although it was over yesterday, Christmas, but I started spotting/bleeding later in the night. I am at my wits end.  I have had two accidents while working, don't know when my period will begin or end so I am wearing a pad everyday. "


"I have a history of diabetes, heart disease and have suffered with migraines my whole life. My weight was becoming a concern and I love to be active. I started on Qsymia Feb 5th. I was 220lbs and no waist. I am down 20 pounds. Issues I had to address were Constipation. I now take 2 magnesium 250 in the evening and make sure fiber and calorie intake is sufficient. I also wasn't sleeping great so I began taking Deep sleep, it is awesome so in combination I may only be losing 1/2 to 1lb a week. I feel like I am so going FORWARD. I am not as anxious about my weight not coming off fast. I haven't had but one or 2 headaches, not even a full scale migraines . Just be patient and really focus on making good changes along the way. Wish insurance covered it."


"Please stay away from this birth control!!! It is absolutely horrible! It caused me severe depression, anxiety, bloating, and mood swings. I was previously on Yasmin with NO problems, my doctor just isn't prescribing it anymore because of the rare side effects. I gave Sprintec a try for 2 weeks, and just threw it in the trash, after 24 hours of not taking it I finally am starting to feel back to my calm, rational self again. Can't believe this is on the market!"


"I have been taking Zetia (10 mg) for about five years.  My copay was about $100 at first but in the past two years the price has risen dramatically, even though I understand it will soon be considered a generic.  My current order bears a copay of $411 for a 90 day supply and the result is that I will simply stop taking it.  (My copay is 50% of the nominal full price of the drug.)  Until I read some of the comments here I was unaware that my excessive sweating might be due to this prescription drug.  We must do something about pharmaceutical companies constantly marking up drug prices just because they can."


"I have suffered 4 bouts of benign positional vertigo in the last ten years. It comes on without warning. I always carry Meclizine with me.I get it over the counter. It helps, but it still takes me anywhere from a week to a month to get over the vertigo. At the beginning of the vertigo I take a 25 mg.tablet every 24 hours, but it makes me very sleepy and tired and "hung over"....but I'm able to get out of bed and do things. As the vertigo subsides, I take 1/2 of a tablet once a day and that seems to have fewer side effects. The only thing I've found that really cures the vertigo over a couple of weeks are the exercises I do 3x a day. Got them from a physical therapist. Along with the Meclizine, I seem to eventually get better."


"I got Implanon in October 2011 while on my period. At the end of that cycle I did not get my period again until October 2012. It was the best year ever! No mood swings, not worrying about a pill, my weight stayed the same, and my sex drive increased. I'm also a huge whimp about needles but insertion didn't hurt. However, from Oct 2012- present (Jan 2013) I've gotten my period erratically from every other week to every 2 weeks. I'm going on vacation soon and the unpredictability of the medicine is starting to seriously irritate me (and put a damper on my daily routine). I hate to give it up because the first year spoiled me so much! But I'm afraid the aggravation of the unknown may have me removing it in the very near future.."


"Received 1st of three on 5/5/2014 no side effects, very little pain."


"Not bad at all!! I've had drinks at the bar that tasted worse. Very easy to take and very comfortable results. Vaseline applied and comfortable clothes worn. I felt wonderful from the first BM!

"


"PLEASE don't let bad reviews prevent you from trying Kyleena!!!! I got mine inserted on 09/05/17. Insertion was not painful. It was more uncomfortable than anything. Got mine inserted a week and a half before my period and it still didn't hurt. I took 800mg of Ibuprofen approx. 2 hours prior to insertion. After insertion I had no cramps and spotted for about an hour. Everyone reacts to pain differently. So don't let the bad reviews keep you from trying this BC out. Will do updated reviews after 1 month and 6 months."


"Several years of vascular dementia and growing increasingly worse now, my 89 year old mother started aricept during the last month.  First day she was like a new person, clear thinking with memory, energy, and motivated.  Second day much less, and was dizzy and constipated by 6th day.  Now appearing more confused than without the drug.  Not a good experience, will be moving on."


"Clarinex is absolutely wonderful when it comes to treating allergic rhinitis, itching, sneezing, rash, asthma like feeling. However lately I've been getting skipped heart beat feeling and lightheadedness after taking it for 2 years now. I'm guessing it's due to Clarinex since I'm not taking any other medicines other than an occasional Biotin tablet."


"I think this medicine really helped me when it was added to Zoloft"


"Well my Dr wanted me to try it instead of depo.. but I cramp while not even on my period now and have chest pains about an hour after taking it. I looked up reviews because of the chest pains ... and no surprise others experience chest pain with it. I wouldn't recommend it. Also the days of the week label falls off and gets me off track. That doesn't help.."


"My whole body would be on fire without Lyrica. My sensory neuropathy is so bad I wouldn't be able to eat most foods without terrible reflux pain that would burn my throat and face.

It does cause fatigue (build up slowly) but it's a trade off for quality of life. I have none without it.

Lyrica has been the only drug that works for my small fiber neuropathy that didn't suddenly stopped working for me.

I've had to increase dosage over the years. I currently take 350mg day, targeting 400mg."


"I was dreading taking this medication after reading some reviews about the taste etc. Well I can only speak for myself but I found it fine, like slightly salty lemonade. I made it up about 30 mins before taking and chillled it in the fridge.
As for effectiveness, well within 30 mins I was making myself comfortable on the throne and am well and truly welded to the spot. At first the movements were preceded by a short gurgle of the bowels then all hell broke loose and what I can only describe as a 'gush' of fluid came out. Initially there were some solids however now just fluid, currently every 10 minutes.
I am due to take 2nd litre in the morning and will report back if I have a different experience.
Took 1st dose 6pm - drank in 15 mins"


"I have been on vraylar a year now and it's by far the best medication I have been on. I did have restlessness at first but I have lost over 50#'s since being on it. I feel like I got my life back."


"I'm a hemophiliac with severe arthritis and due for a right hip and left knee replacement.  My entire life I've lived with chronic pain from bleeding episodes to my degenerative joint disease.  I've been prescribed liquid morphine, Dilaudid, Vicodin, morphine sulfate, Tylenol 3's, Oxycontin, pretty much everything they've got.  But the only thing that truly does help me function in my everyday life without getting to loopy is Percocet.  I give it a 10."


"I'm an eighteen year old female and I started taking these 100mg doxycycline monohydrate pills only four days ago because they worked great for my brothers. I've been taking them with tons of water and food. They seem to work so far but I've been waking up with terrible migraine-like headaches and confusion. I'm usually an early riser and a morning person but these make me feel really nauseated. I don't recommend them for anyone who gets migraines like I do."


"Edema in ankles and feet, cellulitis in shin and calf, 6 days in hospital, memory loss, dizziness, letharga"


"Puts me to sleep like turning off a light switch. Which has greatly helped me work and be on a normal schedule. Before I would stay up for 24-36 hours straight, then sleep 15  hours and then repeat. Been taking it 7 years.

Now when I decide it is bedtime, I take it and 9 out of 10 times I am sleeping in 20-60 minutes. It works just as well for me at 25 mg or 200 mg....same effect.

Personally, 15 minutes after I take it though I absolutely will not give my OCD the time of day, not because it goes away but because if I do the medicine makes it harder to focus and deal with whatever is bothering me and it can go on and on worse than normal. And the more drowsy I get the worse it is to focus."


"I was recovering from bacterial pneumonia and feeling very, very good.  Suddenly my cough returned, I had the chills, was running a fever and felt achy all over.  I was able to get into the Doc immediately, was swabbed for influenza and tested positive for Influenza Type A.  Tamiflu was ordered.  Day one I was able to take one pill, this is day 3 and I feel at least 90% better.  No side effects and thankful I went back to my physician for follow-up care.  PS. I had both the pneumonia and flu shot this year.  Thank you, Tamiflu."


"This was the first birth control I was ever on. My mother thought I was on it to clear up my face (I was on it because I had made some bad decisions and scared myself about not being on it). So the doctor put me on this one for acne. A few months later, my face was extremely clear. I didn't like that my period was still heavy and lasted 6-7 days (even though it was regular) though. And after a few months I started to have really strong mood swings. About two weeks into each cycle I would spend up to 6 hours screaming and crying for no reason and then I'd be fine. A month later, it seemed to happen again. I didn't stay on it to see if these swings were coincidental, so I'm still not positive, but since I switched, I haven't had them."


"Was put on a high dose of 375mg and find it overestimulating not good for my anxiety"


"I've already taken 3 trials of Accutane and I still have acne problems. Most of the litthe ones have gone away but I still get the bumps across my forehead, the large cyst like acne on my cheeks and along my jaw line, as well as the occasional  back and chest acne that flares up on occasion. 3 trials and it still hasn't done much for me. I've even considered going back for a 4th because nothing over the counter helps."


"I have been taking Cymbalta for just over one year now and can only say positive things about it and how it has helped me with anxiety and depression.  I have not experienced any negative side effects."


"After taking antibiotics I usually get a yeast infection so I take diflucan once when meds are gone. Almost always stops itching in 24 hours and disappears completely by day 2.  Only once was it so bad I had to take it twice. Best cure ever. And no side effects. Used it many times."


"I have been taking this drug for almost 3 months. It has helped significantly with intrusive thoughts and therefore decreased compulsions and being stuck on rituals. More than significant, actually. It is saving me and I'm able to function better. The problem is I've gained 13 pounds. My hunger is never satisfied! It is always on my mind. I know my mental health is worth gaining SOME weight; however it shows no stopping. I am not a thin woman, gaining too much weight makes me unhappy in terms of how I look. I have some joint problems too. Thanks for listening. I do not plan on quitting this med for as I said, works great."


"I can tolerate most medicine side effects, but after 2-3 weeks, EVERYTHING had no taste or tasted metallic. I stopped after 5 weeks; I needed to eat. Taste came back fairly fast. I tried to stick it out but couldn't. The weird/loss of taste was too much."


"This medicine is wonderful. Only have problems when I can't afford to pay for it. Seems to take the edge off whenever I need it the most."


"I am 20 years old and have had the Nexplanon in my arm for 2 years.The insertion itself wasn't bad, just a little sting. I didn't have any bruising and the rod is still able to be felt in my arm.I first experienced a little acne and a little weight gain but nothing major. Now having the rod in my arm for 2 years, I have experienced major anxiety, depression, and mood swings.As most other young adults, working parttime and going to school parttime can cause a lot a stress on a person.. at first I thought it was normal and every other person was experiencing the same stress as me.. It kept getting worse. My boyfriend of 3 years began to notice my changes. I have became completely depressed. I am now looking into getting my rod removed ASAP"


"Been on depo shot for 5yrs,decided it was time to switch being that I would be moving out of state for a year and didn want to change insurance nor Dr while I was gone. Although I read negative things about the nexplanon I got it bc "different strokes for different fowks" and bc the Dr said its the same medication as depo.have had it now for 11 days and my arm is still sore.first night was so painful I called the office at 3am lol I was told I must have a low tolerance for pain an to rest it & take pain meds. I must admit getting it wasn't really bad at all and although some days are worse than others (depending on my activities and use of my arm) there is no pain until I use it ALOT....than I pay for it at night.so far so good overall"

"I've had all my HPV shots, I got the last one today and it was the worse compared to the other 2. You could feel it the most out of all 3. And 30-45 min after I got my 3rd shot my jaw got sore, now I don't know if it has anything to do with the shot but I figured they should be noted just in case! Now has it prevented me from getting cancer? I'll have to let y'all know it in a few years! Lol It's a scary thing getting the HPV shots because you read one thing saying it's great and it prevents against cancer (which no one wants) and then you can read an article about it killing someone. I think we all need to be educated in the TRUE effects and advantages of EVERY shot that we get."


"I have been on Claravis for a couple of months now. I developed moderate acne as an adult and it was those difficult ones under your skin that were impossible to get rid of. I tried all the over the counter stuff but I realized that they all have the same ingredients. So even though they sound amazing on T.V, they're all a waste of money. I was skeptical about Claravis at first but I was just so frustrated. I'm on my 3rd month now and I've only gotten ONE pimple since I started it and it was during the first month. As far as the downsides, I'm only really experiencing dry lips and dry skin in patches. But that could be because I have eczema. Other than that, I haven't experienced anything else."


"I have severe and chronic insomnia that has caused me little (if any) sleep per night, leading to confusion and irritability in the morning, leading to delirium, if prolonged exposure to sleep deprivation was to happen to me. My doctor first prescribed me Seroquel (quetiapine) for my insomnia, which worked a little bit TOO well, as it was too heavily sedating, and left me with too many "morning-after" effects. At my doctor's reluctance (due to substance abuse history in not me, but my family) I was given a prescription to a starting dose of 1 mg a night of Klonopin. This was amazing. As opposed to being forced to sleep by Seroquel, Klonopin lulled me to sleep. It's a wonderful medicine."


"Update. I love this IUD. My husband only felt it once which was the only issue I had with it then after that one time nothing was felt. I only spotted with wiping the first 2 weeks then it stopped completely all together. I also did not have any pain with the insertion. However, I was 6 weeks post partum so that could have played a huge role. I have had it for 3 months now and it is the best."


"I am a Nurse Practitioner. I prescribe this all the time for chronic cracking in the corners of the lips. Works great!!"


"My Husband has been an addict for 17 years.  Started with Pot, to Meth to quitting Meth for 7 years. After quitting that awful deadly drug he began to drink more. That's when I met him. Got him to slow down to beer. Most amazing person sober. That was the person I fell in love with. Then it got worse. He started to drink Vodka 2 pints a day 6 shots of fireball, beer, and 2 cans of redpunch with booze in it. That I know of. He said there was more. I was scared he was going to die. I didn't want my children to watch their father drink his life away. biggest fear them growing up to be an alcoholic themselves.  Finally got him to the doctor. Librium saved him so far. 11 day's clean not one drop. He stayed home for detox. He is doing awesome."


"I've had normal bm for all of my life (34) until recently with a 2 week bout of constipation. I've been popping out number 1's on the bristol scale bidaily. Tried a little mineral oil, olive oil, mass hydration, stool softeners, and a change of diet. No change. Frustrated i was told "dulcolax was where it was at, just take 2 and you'll have the best poop of your life". This was so far from the truth. I'm on my second day of missed work of a 3 day ordeal. My insides feel like they have been detached. I can feel the entirety of my large intestine from tip to tail. Car rides and seat belts, laughing, sneezing, sudden movements in general reverberate pain through my colon. This is all after that nightmare of a night described by others here."


"I have had irregular periods for years. I would come on and then wouldn't see a period for months and months at a time until my Dr recomended Aviane. On week 4 3rd day I came on. After not having a period for a year really love this birth control. No mood swings, light period and mild cramps. Will continue to use it."


"I have severe sciatic pain and the spine doctor prescribed this for me. It worked for a while and after a week my pain started going up. I switched to OTC Ibuprofen and it worked better. So, I guess it depends on person to person."


"I have been on Nexplanon for about two months now. No complaints so far! My doctor recommended that I keep on my pill for a month after it was inserted and he said that it should regulate my periods after that. I did have my period for about a week but after that, I haven't seen a trace of bleeding. I expected to gain weight on this since so many people said that they have and I've actually lost weight. No complaints so far. My sex drive is still the same and I feel like myself. Plus, no babies! I'll see if anything changes and update later but I like it so far!"


"I took this after having weaned off of Sinex nose drops due to allergies to pollens. It worked fine, but could not stand the aftertaste. I tried everything to get it to go away! I also noticed being sleepy and having dreams. Why would it make me so sleepy? Long story short, I discontinued it. I'd rather go back to Sinex and not have bad aftertaste and be more alert."


"Triazolam (halcion) is great. In 10 years of use I have never built up tolerance to it but only use it when required. Upon average 5 nights a week. I break my 0.25mg in half and make sure that I am relaxed as possible when taking it. There appears, for me anyhow, to be a threshold of about 15 to 30 mins after taking it where if you get involved in stressful activity its effectiveness is reduced dramatically. Best used in conjunction with relaxation techniques."


"I have been on Loestrin 24 FE for four months now. It was prescribed to me after I finished breast feeding. For the most part I liked the pill until I started having my period twice a month and it lasts for a week, on top of that I get very, very irritable right before they start. I occasionally get dizzy spells."


"I have tried increasingly higher doses of Lyrica to suppress fibromyalgia flare ups with okay results for two years. Cymbalta became available and it has drastically reduced the constant pain, weakness and fatigue I suffer. Finally, something that works for my fibromyalgia."


"I had Mirena inserted today. It was fast and zero pain. First i was nervous because of the reviews i reqd but mine was pretty quick, less than 5 minutes. No cramping, a small spotting and thats it!"


"Starting in February 2017 I started to develop pain in the scrotum and testicle area. The pain has gone on until mid-April. I have only been able to have sex a couple of times because the pain is very severe. I was ruled out for STDs and sonograms seemed normal. Apparently, because of weightlifting while having the bladder full, I had chemical backflow which caused epididymitis (infection of the tubes connecting testicles to the urethra) and orchitis (infection of the testicles).  I went through doxycycline for 14 days and nothing.  I started Cipro but the side effects were devastating, it is poison (read it on your own online).  I started Amoxicillin and Clavulanate Potassium 875 mg 3 days ago and I am starting to feel better for the first time in ages"


"I use clonezapam 0.5mg 3 to 4 times daily. It helps with both panic and anxiety. I can still feel the panic coming on but it helps combat it with deep breathing techniques. I do feel dependent on it though but it is better than having the anxiety and panic. I would recommend it. It seems to stay in my system longer than the xanax. But like them equally."


"I started off on the Wellbutrin 150 mg XL twice a day and I was exhausted everyday, not to mention the nausea was so bad I had to stop taking it. Just started on Wellbutrin immediate release at 100 mg once a day and it is a complete difference. I have so much more energy and focus, so far I love it. I do get a little headache by the end of the day but its not a big deal."


"Taken for lower back pain - sciatica... 5/325's and finding relief at by spreading it throughout the day, but side effects are bad for me (pretty serious dizziness, even some hallucinations).

I've never been prescribed it before - pain relief is good, but have side effects. Starting physical therapy which might help in long run. "


"28 year old, healthy but with performance anxiety. Took 5mg then 3 hours later went and tried it out with a new friend. Worked perfectly with zero side effects. Highly recommended."


"I've been on 200mg bupropion (regular release, not SR/XR)  total for over 5 years along with an SSRI. I have depression and ADD. The bupropion helps the focus,  though it can make me feel impatient and irritable when it "peaks". I like it because it helps the depression,  ADHD and restless legs and helps offset the negative effect of SSRIs on libido. It does make intrusive images/thoughts worse. I will have sudden mental images of violence (for instance, suddenly getting slammed into by another car while driving) but I'm used to my brain being a pest so I let it roll off me. Helps with motivation and planning and organization. Can cause dry mouth and slight ringing in the ears."


"Works almost as well as albuterol,  but no nasty heart side effects."


"I absolutely hate the depo shot. A few years ago I was on depo but was receiving the doses completely wrong. My doctor was having me take the shot once a month. After a year and a half of bad luck trying to get pregnant I finally did and had my daughter in June of this year. I received my first shot in August. The first w weeks I was fine and had no bleeding then it all started with some spotting here and there. Some days I wouldn't have it and then I would go back to spotting and then full on bleeding. I have been bleeding for the past 2 months and I can't stand it. I don't have my life anymore. No sex drive, moody, always hungry. I will never get depo again and I don't recommend it to anyone."


"I was prescribed Norvir along with Truvada and Prezista as a substitute for Atripla.  My physician felt that it would increase my CD4 count, which had stabilized for some time at the 150 range.  I began the regimen with Norvir and the other 2 antivirals in September and checked the progress in December (3 months).  The CD4 count had declined to 88 and the new treatment was clearly not effective.  He had me retested at the end of January and the count had fallen to 36.  I have since gone back to Atripla.

Norvir has a serious contraindication when combined with a steroid.  I have been using Advair for COPD, and the Norvir reacted with the fluoxetine in Advair and caused my face to become puffy, weight gain, and stomach issues."


"I never write reviews but have read a thousand reviews about anxiety and depression. This drug Celexa saved me changed my  life and I have been on everything under the sun this has been the only thing to stop my racing thoughts my anxiety and depression. Try this! My only issues is difficult reaching orgasm I fan just difficult but I can deal with that! I take 30mg a day."


"Do not let this thing fool you! I've had it twice now. so for the last 8 years or so. The 1st time around (after my 2nd child) I had it inserted. Didn't hurt too much that I remember. I liked having no period, living in California where it's usually sunny and warm.. no period was great. Got it out, had 1 period. Then got pregnant with my 3rd child. Decided to go with it again, and it was fine. BUT then there is the bloating..constipation.. abdominal pain.. cysts.. yeah no period is nice, but we are SUPPOSED TO HAVE THEM. This thing is bad, and it took me a loooong time to realize everything is connected.. bloating, constipation, intestinal pain, cysts, mood swings, headaches, brittle hair and nails.. etc. Mirena! Don't do it!"


"I got the nexplanon against my better judgment. I just don't feel like having a mini surgery for birth control is worth it and niether do I feel like having small scars on your arm is worth it as well. I had the nexplanon for about six months and I immediatly started having crazy heavy periods not only were they heavy as a wind storm they would come and go in the same month. I had brought so many pads it was ridiculous. I gained a bunch of weight, I started having pregnancy side effects and that is what made me take the stick out. I was so scared I thought I might be pregnant and  I feared for my baby. I hurried and got it taken out. I won't use anymore birth control I'm concerned about health side effects in the long run."


"I went on Levora because I wanted to skip and reduce my heavy periods as well as clear up my hormonal acne. At first my acne cleared, but around 6 months later, my acne returned and seems to be worse, some actually cystic. My periods are still immensely heavy and around 6 days, but I skip my period for 3 months at a time so I am thankful I have birth control to be able to only have it a few times a year. I get terrible cramps and even my parents noticed that my moods are inconsistent and that my depression seems to have worsened. I have gained weight that is seemingly impossibly to lose and my sex drive is so low for a teenager. I'm going to stop taking it after this pack and see how my body reacts."


"Turned 50 and even though still in very good health, down below became retired.......even though my mind still had an interest, erections and morning wood disappeared for 6 years.

Too embarrassed to see a doctor, finally realised I needed to get checked out....Men;s Dr with good understanding prescribed 5 mg a day low dose........

a few weeks later....

BOING

erections like a 20 year old again....

Doc wants to cut it down to 2.5 mg per day,

but I need 5 mg to stay functional

even though it is expensive

( $100 per month )

BEST DRUG EVER !"


"I have been using Levemir for about 4 years 20 & 20 units twice a day but lately I had to increase to 20/20/20 & when my sugar goes over 160 I will use fast acting Novolog 10-20 units but now I will be trying Bydureon to see if it helps me control my blood sugar."


"I have never taken the time to actually write a comment on these types of things, but this is worthy of it. I had never dealt with anxiety until I became pregnant. I suffered with the worst anxiety and I was MISERABLE. I had panic attacks that sent me to the ER..I was too scared to drive, missed weeks of work and literally did not leave the house. I suffered through it until I had the baby. After, my doctor put me on Lexapro. After a few weeks, I felt 100% better. I can't begin to explain the change I had felt. I was able to do things without thinking the worst of everything. Before I started taking it, it depressed me because I thought I was going to feel that way forever and always have to deal with anxiety. Now, I live a normal life!"


"While the irregular periods, frequent spotting, and slightly heavier periods are a drag, the shot has worked very well for me. It is very effective at preventing pregnancy, and is low-maintenance. All you need to worry about is getting the shot every 3 months.
My periods weren't bad before the shot, and they've stayed exactly the same, besides being unpredictable. Just have to worry about changing my pad/tampon. No bad cramps, same amount of acne as usual, and no side effects to speak of.
I'm only on my 6th month of the shot now, and I've heard that after 6 months, the periods typically become more predictable at least, and less blood is shed from spotting. Quite a few women stop having their periods actually, which is what I'm hoping for."


"I have tried Qsymia now for 3 months now. I have been let down a bit as I expected to lose more weight. I am paying for this out of pocket and cannot afford to lose just 1 pound a month. I am on the lowest dose but still feel some side effects like heart racing at times. I am scared to go higher actually. Back to Weight Watchers for me."


"Although there should be no negative drug interaction with this antibiotic and other medication I take daily, I had a severe allergic reaction: swelling of throat and tongue, vertigo and dizziness, bad taste in my mouth (even days after) and vomiting. I'm on my third day of the medication now and still feel sick and "weird". My throat and tongue are no longer swollen, but all my muscles hurt and my skin feels painful, also major headache and very sleepy. "


"Works great"
