"My experience was so bad that even though I only used the drops for four or five days. I thought maybe I was  just too sensitive! But it's been over THREE MONTHS SINCE I USED THEM and my lids feel like they stick together; I am unable to tolerate any light shining in the right one and must keep it patched all day, everyday! I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH HORRIBLE PAIN, HAVE LOST MY PERIPHERAL VISION IN THE RIGHT EYE, CAN'T LOOK DOWN OR SIDE TO SIDE! I'D RATHER KILL MYSELF THAN GO ON WITH THE PAIN AND LOSS OF VISION THIS STUFF HAS CAUSED!!!"


"I went to a orthopedic surgeon due to carpal tunnel in my left handed, which is my writing etc. hand. Doctor said surgery was the only way to go.  I started doing research on the computer adamant not to have surgery.  A doctor prescribed me tramadol 50 mg. Took for 3 weeks 1 x daily and ate pineapples daily along with zinc, garlic and muscle joint cream and within a month I am back to normal.  Its amazing what you can learn."


"I'm 27 years old and have been on Yaz for a year.  Overall my periods were lighter and shorter, but Yaz has severely decreased my sex drive.  It also makes me feel emotionally flat. I'm switching to another pill."


"Although cipram initially seemsd to help me over a bad patch ( divorce )  I  lost my ability to enjoy sex , achieve orgasm Previously enjoyed a happy active fulfilling and pleasurable sex life. When I was ready to date again and have new boyfriends this was frustrating and caused deeper unhappiness and sadness .. I'm hoping my pleasure will return .. Wish I'd never taken it !"


"I have had fibro, Depression, anxiety, chronic horrible pain. Cymbalta does nothing at all. I don't even know why I take it. If you stop it's worse than stopping anything else I have ever tried to except maybe Xanax. I am so happy for all you that it works for. Life is depressing and miserable. Pain meds were the only thing that has helped for pain but I have been on them so long I want to try something else. So sick of people who think pain meds cause the problem. Of course I am on a higher dose than someone who just started. It's been ten years. I wish cymbalta helped as much as you guys."


"Hello I'm 42 years old. I always had trouble in school I quit at the end of ninth grade. Always had problems at work people always saw me as different. Never stayed at them for 2 years. I had also tried to go back to school and took GED test twice never passed the whole thing. Then I started a new job. I loved the work but my boss called me in to a room to talk to me. Said I was too passive. I fell apart could no longer do anything. My husband took me to my doctor. He tried different things, they did not work so then he put me on Adderall 20mg a day. He also put me on Zoloft 100mg at bedtime and he put me on Xanax. Saw improvement first day. Have been on them now since January 13th and I'm getting better every week. I love it."


"I have had MS since 1996 - diagnosed at the age of 49. My MS is very mild compared to my older sister who was diagnosed around 1970 and needs assistance to walk. I have been on Betaseron for 14 years and other than initial flu-like symptoms, have tolerated it very well. However, the key to avoiding the symptoms is to keep Tylenol or some other pain relief medication in my system. In 14 years, I have only had 3 relapses, and Betaseron has slowed the progression of my MS and lessened the severity of relapses. The one side effect I am experiencing is injection site reactions that leave the area red, sore and over time have caused muscle atrophy in my arms and buttocks. Even so, I would still recommend Betaseron to anyone with relapsing-remitting MS."


"I have been taking Sprintec for 3 years now. It has worked really well for me. Before this I would get very moody, get menstrual migraines, have really bad cramps, and when I was 18 I started getting nauseous/sick every other month within the first couple of days of my period. Since taking Sprintec I feel my mood has greatly improved, I no longer get sick/nauseous, my cramps have become more than tolerable, and I noticed no increased acne or weight gain. I haven't experienced any of the yeast infection/urinary tract problems with this. However every girl will react differently to different birth controls. If it doesn't work for you, don't worry; just call your doctor and discuss some new options. Eventually you will find something that works for you."


"I went to a GI specialist last week, assuming I had some serious issues other than constipation. However, it was just that- chronic constipation. The doctor gave me samples of Linzess and I started it at 10am on an empty stomach. I had a bowl of oatmeal about half an hour later. Then, 20-30 minutes after I had eaten I had the urge to use the rest room and for the first time in years, without the help of several laxitives, I expelled. Three times within a two hour time frame. I don't mind the diarrhea, because it was much worse not being able to go. But it is scary knowing you have to pass gas and not knowing if you might accidentally crap yourself."


"I got Skyla inserted about two weeks ago, while I was on my period. It was difficult for the doctor to find my cervix which made the procedure VERY painful. The next couple days I had terrible cramps. Now all I'm dealing with is light spotting and an occasional bad cramp. The spotting is very annoying though! If that goes away soon then it was definitely worth it."


"I've was prescribed losartan 50mg daily 4 weeks ago.  Went to the Doctor today still getting high BP reading? Now what"


"I have only had Nexplanon since December 2015 (about 3 months) and so far it's awesome.  Yesterday my back started hurting like crazy and I felt completely off.  I became insanely bloated and had terrible cramps.  Sure enough an hour later, I started my period and overnight the bleeding stopped and everything was over.  It was an absolutely miserable 12 hour period, but if it only comes every 3 months for 12 hours, I'll take it! No weight gain (definitely a little bit of increased appetite but I refuse to give in to my appetite and I haven't gained anything.) My Melasma caused by Seasonique is GONE! (Primary reason for choosing Nexplanon) No depression or mood swings.  From what I read it seems everyone's experience has been different."


"I love this birth control! For years I have suffered from horrible bleeding, menstrual cramps that kept me in bed for a day or two and sometimes  vomiting. I have been on Lo Loestrin for 4 months. I get no period and no cramps. I wish I would have tried it sooner. I did spot for two months but just a tiny bit. The downfall is its very expensive. Luckily my Dr. gave a year of samples. I am over 40 and actually do nothing getting my period for the first time ever."


"This is the only drug that has worked for me -- and I have tried em all! Really.

All. Of. Them.

I have both plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. The side effects were minimal in relation to the relief I received. About 50 percent cleared on scalp-- 100 percent cleared every where else on my body. 100 percent relief with arthritis pain."


"I have been type 2 diabetic for 20 years- tried the diet and exercise then the metformins (never helped) went on lantus insulin and a1c gradually just kept going up and was up to 70 units of insulin and janumet 2x daily. Dr said to either try invokana or insulin shots multiple times a day. Gave it a try- the most horrible yeast infections ever but lost 6lbs in 10 days - decided to stick with it and now almost a year later lost 35 lbs and feel great and a1c is down to 6 and I dropped my insulin down to 25 units! I love this drug! I stuck through the yeast infections and now that the sugar levels is down- I don't get the infections as often! I am thinner than I was in high school!"


"Have been using for over two years after several episodes of prednisone. Have been almost completely free of symptoms and have no obvious side effects. I only use the bathroom once a day and stools are generally well formed. No diarrhea at all. Can eat and drink normally (including roughage)  but did have some pain after eating too much corn on the cob."


"Well,

Had an interaction with celexa and caused ocular migraines. Scared the hell out of me I though I had a stroke or brain aneurysm. Complete blindness in my right eye, that thank god came back gradually over a week. And when it did on bits of the ocular field would come in all statically. Trial and error, I tried it off and on twice over a month with the exact same out come."


"I began Tamiflu on my second day of fever. Vomiting/nauseous within an hour of taking it. Keep at it for 3 more doses then this morning didn't take any. I'll consider the vaccine next year! Other products you can return for a refund if dissatisfied. Wonder how that would go over?"


"This medicine definitely works!! Lost 5 pounds in the first 5 days even with cheat meals! No constipation like most had but I don't eat gluten. The only reason for a 9 is because it caused some anxiety and mood swings but I have bipolar disorder and depression anyways."


"I'm 18, and had a lumbar puncture done on 12/29. I've had a severe migraine ever since, so on Tuesday children's hospital told my mom to take me to the ER.
Once there, they gave me this and let me tell you, from someone who suffers from terrible panic attacks, this was genuinely one of the worst ones I've ever had. Ten minutes in I started feeling restless and starting moving and moving because I literally wanted to rip the IV out of my arm and run out. I got up and I started sobbing and I felt like I was going to die. I really wanted to just rip the IV out and I was terrified that I was going to. Mom had to call a nurse and they gave me Benadryl & that knocked me out, a day later though my severe migraine is back. Not worth it guys. Nope."


"I would give this medicine 20 stars if I could. Finally a time release version of hydrocodone without any acetaminophen. I have been taking Norco 10/325 for a little over a year and it was starting to have little to no effect for my chronic back pain. I was always in constant fear about getting jumped up to oxycodone due to the Norcos not working anymore but then Zohydro comes along and changes the game! No side effects whatsoever for me and I'm getting a good 12 hrs of pain relief per dose! Another positive note is that I'm only taking 2 pills per day rather than taking 4-5 Norcos, and with the absence of acetaminophen I don't have to worry about damage to my liver anymore. THANK YOU ZO-HYDRO!"


"I started my periods at about 12 and it was hell : heavy, painful, unpredictable. Started this pill at about 14 and it was a  godsend (so to speak...). A couple of years on, new GP didn't check my age before seeing me and upped my prescription to a stronger pill. Period was late, painful and strangely coloured, acne started acting up and I was emotional. I went back and begged (crying...) another GP to put me back on loestrin. She was mystified as to why it was changed in the first place. Everything immediately went back to normal. I'm still on it now, 4 years later and have not encountered any side-effects."


"I have been on the lowest dose of Trulicity for 1.5 weeks and I am IMPRESSED. I have had ZERO side effects, and my blood sugar started decreasing within 2 days! I went from from a fasting bs of 267 to 166 in 2 days. It has been 9 days since my first dose and today my fasting bs was 109. This is amazing. However, I am concerned about the fact that it caused thyroid cancer in mice! Therefore, I do not intend on taking this long term. I will be trying a natural alternative (berberine) once my Trulicity pens are used up to see if it works just as well."


"I'm 57 years old and I've been a diabetic for over 20 years and it has gotten harder to maintain an erection. I tried Staxyn a few nights ago and was very happy with the results. For me it worked better than Viagra, Cialis and I've even tried injectables. Those were very expensive and not comfortable."


"I have been breaking out terribly since as long as I can remember. The amount of medications and creams I have been prescribed are not even countable. My dermatologist prescribed me epiduo after I changed insurance companies and I figured the stuff would work because of the price. It took a couple months before it really started to work but my skin is so clear. During those few first months I hated the stuff because I broke out even more and my skin was dry, but I kept using it because the doctor said with epiduo, your skin does get worse before it gets better. I love my skin now and I highly recommend it!"


"I used this for my last herniated disk issue.  I had a sequestered herniated L5 L4 issue and suffered from nerve pain down my left leg and drop foot.  Pain Medications (e.g. 10mg Percocet 3-4 times daily) did nothing for my leg pain though helped my back.
Lyrica at 150mg twice daily did the trick for my leg nerve pain. The sciatica makes your leg kill while you know nothings wrong with it, so with Lyrica I was amazed to have the leg pain just disappear. No side effects. Sciatica went away by itself after 3 months so no need for Lyrica anymore."


"I have taken 3-4 semi-effective anti-inflammatory medications in the past. Some made me nauseous and dizzy, but Enbrel is the first to make me feel 99% normal. My energy level is much higher than it was. I don't walk around like an old man any more (I'm a 37 year old female) and I can do yoga, aerobics, etc.
The only side-effect I have noticed is about 10lbs weight gain over the past year, but I am going to work on more exercise/less evening snacking and see if that can keep it in check. At least now I have the energy to exercise when I need to. Before it was too daunting."


"Within 3 days of a 5 mg dose my husband was a different person with a zest for life and stopping his 'shuffle' walk to a brisk walking pace.  His mind is clear to tackle his Income Tax Return though his short term memory is still impaired but we can live with that."


"I'm 20 years old. I've been taking Sprintec for a year and a half and have no complaints. It was my first birth control med. Lighter and shorter periods, no pregnancies, bigger breasts and no beginning side effects for me. Insurance now covers for it!"


"I am 59, non smoker, confirmed NSCLC. Found EGFR mutation gene, prescribed Tarceva. Skin rash and fatigue started within a week, and continue to worsen. Have to stop after a month. I feel the drug is making me sick and causes a lot of pain, and lower quality of life."


"Many side effects. Such as muscle pain, weakness, tenderness, gas, blurred vision."


"After the timing of using this medication is adjusted correctly (activation time for myself takes 2 hours for peak performance), it has helped allow me to sleep, and to take away the pain caused by nerve damage. Though it was not meant for it, it has also helped with chronic back pain, and pain in my hands. A fairly effective drug. Please understand that my use of this drug is not related to seizures, and so I cannot comment on it's effectiveness in that particular field."


"I was hesitant to get the arm implant because of negative reviews on here, but decided to try it anyway. I couldn't have had a better experience. Insertion was fast and the only thing I felt was the numbing shot- nothing else. I experienced absolutely no negative side effects, not once having headache or nausea or anything. For a month or two I continued to get my period but it was only light spotting. After deciding to invest in liners, my periods stopped altogether. I haven't bled at all in months and it's been great. If you are seeking long term, zero maintenance, highly effective birth control, I highly recommend giving this a try. Everyone's body is different and there is no way to know how you specifically will react to it."


"I have always had an uncontrollable cough when I got a cold.

A few years ago, I got a bad cold and ended up in the emergency room because I couldn't get any sleep for days because of the coughing. Surprisingly, they gave me Vicodin. And it WORKED!

I am 63 years old and I am so angry that I have suffered for years and years with a spastic cough. I could drink bottles of cough syrup and the only thing that would happen is that I would be loopy, but still coughing. I only take a Vicodin at night to sleep. I do not ever want to lose the calming effect by taking more than I need."


"I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and obesity. I've been on Victoza for 5 weeks. Went to full dose of 1.8 after 1 week. The first two days after starting the initial dose I felt bloated and sick to my stomach but that went away quickly. I feel full all the time and have to remind myself to take in some nutrition. I can drink fluids easily. I have lost 13 pounds. The weather has been horrible and I have had little exercise at all other than minor snow shoveling. I can't wait to start walking outside and get this weight loss thing moving even more!"


"Started taking this about a month ago to level out my moods. I noticed difficulty focusing at first but it stopped. I'm also having tingling hands, feet, and face occasionally but with the way this medicine works it's worth it. Since I've been on it I'm like a new person, this medicine is a God send. Try it."


"I was prescribed Roxicet 5-325 for pain relief after major abdominal surgery and I have to say this was amazing! I've never had such complete relief from any medication before.  One tablet every 4 to 6 hours kept me completely comfortable. It made me a little sleepy, but that was fine given that I was recuperating from surgery.  It would probably not be suitable for me to take while working.  The only real side effect I experienced was a little nausea, which I learned to minimize by taking it with food.  Overall, the most effective pain medication I've ever used."


"I was on Beyaz for one month and had to switch. It made me tired and nauseous. It gave me the WORST headaches. They would last all day and Advil did not take the pain away. Maybe if I waited the whole 3 months, it would've straightened out but I just couldn't deal with the awful headaches. But like everyone says, everyone's body is different. Only pro: my mild acne seemed to clear up."


"All I can say is that stadol is AMAZING! I felt like I was floating on clouds and when the pain did come back I didn't care.. I could feel the pain but it was like I was disconnected from it somehow? After I had my son I asked what they had given me cause I had never felt like that before with my other babies. So if they offer it to you take it....it works!!! I couldn't imagine how these people are able to function if they take it for migraines??"


"I've been on Tri Sprintec for 3 months now and noticed sickness and nausea the first week of taking these pills. Then it got better but I still feel a little sick sometimes in the morning. I never had bad acne but I did notice it getting better after taking these pills. I noticed I went from barely a 32 C cup to a full 34 C.  During my period my breasts get slightly smaller then go back to normal when its over. I used to have a 6-12 day period, now it only lasts 4 days. I am 122 pounds and I maybe gained 4 pounds when taking these pills. I'm 18 and these are the first pills I tried but I will be getting on another kind of birth control in a few months to have less side effects. Otherwise its pretty good."


"I have been dealing with psoriasis for over 25 years.  I have tried many creams, etc., and I have had some success with Enbrel.  25 years means I have multiple issues (skin, nails, scalp, ears, genitals).  I injected Humira three days ago, and I see a difference.  Many areas of my skin have gotten clearer.

I have read other reviews, but I believe it is like many medicines like this.  Some work very well for certain people, but is almost harmful for others.  I believe anti-depressants work like this.  Some work well for some patients, but others need something different.  Regardless, it is a struggle.  Good luck to everyone finding something that works, at least somewhat."


"Cimzia didn't take care of the diarrhea associated with Crohn's Disease, but it did allow me to live flare free for over three years."


"I do not recommend this product. After four months of using this as BC, I became pregnant. Unfortunately the pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage. The Skyla was still in the proper place when I became pregnant."


"When I originally took Microgestin 1/20 by Watson, it was amazing (particularly after the first couple of months of taking when my body got use to it). My breasts went up a cup size & there were little to no side effects. Lighter periods. No pregnancy. WIN!

THEN after almost two years, a dark cloud called Actavis became the new manufacturer and shattered my love for Microgestin. Something changed in the formula because I was suddenly sick during the first week of each new pack to the point that I'd throw up at times. Random cramping. Gained about a pd a week - not a deal breaker but still sucks. HEAVY exhausting 2-3 day periods. Two side effects worsened over time: melasma and mood swings. Needless to say, it's goodbye time. Beware!"


"Hi! So I went to the doctor after 10 days of a terrible UTI. Baking soda, AZO and the generic version, cranberry tablets and juice, lots of water, applied heat and NOTHING helped. My doctor started me on Bactria DS which after 7 days of taking this we discovered I was allergic to the antibiotic so for that week it wasn't helping. My body was rejecting it. I was constipated for 2 weeks, throwing up and broke out with a chest rash. My UTI felt like it was getting worse and like it would never end. I got a culture done at the doctors my second visit and I was put on Cirpofloaxin for 10 days. After the 2nd pill I felt immediate relief. I'm still taking them but on day 4 it was completely gone. $4 later, Im better! :)"


"I suffer from chronic constipation and after seeing my GP I was prescribed dulcolax. This medicine is as "gentle" as a hammer to the face. I took two tablets at around 2am and drunk quite a lot of water.
I went to bed, no hot flashes, no nausea or headaches. I had very mild cramps and within an hour, I had my first BM after days. I thought that was it and went to sleep. Little did I know that at 10am I'd be woke to explosive diarrhoea. Luckily, there wasn't much pain.
Tomorrow, I will adjust the dose and take one tablet."


"I have had the IUD Mirena for almost a year.  I wanted a no thought birth control and the thought of no periods was very appealing.  However, after the insertion I had the worst cramps ever. They were so intense I was practically bed ridden for the first month and the horrifying pain continued for at least 3 months after.  I was unemployed and thank God for that because I never would have made it through a day.  I have never given birth but I would imagine it was like labor pains...not your typical period cramp...and it was all day every day.  The cramping has gotten better and I have very light bleeding but I now have bad acne and no sex drive.  I think  also have gained weight (not much, maybe 10lbs).  "


"I have been on Byetta for 10 days and have had excessive diarrhea.  I take the medicine. I'll wait an hour, I'll eat, and then I have unending diarrhea until the next meal.  I have lost weight, I can tell. I don't know if this is worth it."


"25 no kids. 18 months with Skyla now. Insertion NOT too painful. Spotting for 3 weeks. Abnormal discharge (never had in my LIFE) for over a YEAR now. Wasting so much $$$ on DR visits. No sex drive because of discharge side effects. Really bad period cramps (never had before) 8-9 day light light bleeding (also never had a period that long before). Didn't know that one of the side effects was dandruff (also NEVER had ever in my life) it's embarrassing! Love the effectiveness but HATE the side effects. I've had enough. Getting it removed asap."


"Been having cold like symptoms. Running nose, sneezing, stomach pain, constipation, heart beating too fast. I've been taken only 4 days but stopped today. Side effects are too much and they're making me miserable."


"I've always had a few pimples here and there but this year my skin FREAKED OUT. I started getting cystic acne on my cheeks and I begged my mom to take me to the dermatlogist. Initially he prescribed Atralin which didn't help. It burned my skin and I would cry because it hurt so bad. I used it for maybe a month until things got worse. I started taking birth control around this time too and that also was a terrible experience. I got huge whiteheads on my chin everyday in clusters. I was so depressed. I would cry all the time and I hated looking in the mirror. Finally I went back and my derm said to try Epiduo and my skin looks amazing! I also take birth control and Spiro and I think the combination is perfection! Time is key."


"I suffer from severe social and general anxiety. Started on lexapro about a month ago. Took 10mg daily for 3 and 1/2 weeks with little results. I would always check these reviews because I saw how much it had changed many people's lives so I was trying to stay optimistic. side affects were tough the first week but went away quickly. Not much help with anxiety, all I really noticed was a "cloudy headed" feeling all day. Don't give up taking it though! This drug does wonders for many people."


"I am 22 year old, African-American female. I have been using Gildess as a substitute for Tarina and I have not experienced any adverse affects.

My periods used to be quite heavy and lasting around 5-6 days. I used to completely soak over-night pads and had to change frequently. Now, my periods are so light! They only last about 4 days and I find myself only needing to wear a couple of regular tampons through out the day. It;s great!

My skin is clear, have not had any breakouts and I experience no mood swings.

The ONLY problem is---my sex drive is extremely low at times. So that sucks. :/ But for me, the goods outweigh the bads.

Gildess is successful at preventing pregnancy."


"It is my 1 st  medication since diagnosed in 3/13. Just had my 14 month check up MRI, No new lesions. It is hard to adjust to for some people, but if you stick it out by month 3 it starts to get better."


"I received Zometa IV on 9/26/17, after being informed of all the possible side effects. Although I was somewhat concerned, I was pleasantly surprised when 2 days later I have experienced nothing worse that a little more joint pain than usual when line dancing last evening.  Hopefully, this medication will improve my bone density, or at least keep it stable."


"After the initial phase I got very sick and my psoriasis has not improved at all.
Runny nose ( like really bad) chills, hives, plenty of pimples everywhere and really tired . Hair Follicles infected. Bad medication"


"I take a whole host of medication for high blood pressure  - and some narrowing of arteries (as determined by an angiogram). I also cycle quite a lot - 50-100 miles/week.

I found that when I took the isosorbide mononitrate, I would get very much out of breath and it would make me very weak. I effectively stopped taken them over time and feel much better with no symptoms of angina"


"Honestly this is the best birth control ever and I had heavy periods and cramps but heavy bleeding can come from having low iron. I had it for 9 months and I forget I have it sometimes the first few periods are heavy but who cares. I'll recommend this to anyone"


"It didn't work for me, I was on 40mg initially to start, and it wasn't helping, I could feel myself slipping into a worse depression, so the doctor upped it 60 mg. I then started breaking out in hives which itched so bad I would scratch them open (now have scars). Although even at 60, it still wasn't working for me. Off to find another substitute for seroquel (that's not working anymore either). I hope it helps other though, it just didn't work for me."


"Dropped total number down 86 points teamed only with red yeast rice supplements.  10 mg per day with dinner.  I live in Phienix so can't tell if Zetia causing sweat or Phx heat but it has worked great.  Very active life and no known side effects.  Mail prescription plan costs 40.00 for 90 days."


"I have been receiving Euflexa injections in my right knee after torn meniscus surgery every six months for two years with excellent results. I was walking two miles a day until I injured my left knee in a fall in November. I'm recuperating from torn meniscus surgery two weeks ago and will begin receiving Euflexa injections in that knee, too, in six months."


"After college I was diagnosed with Grave's disease and they did the radioactive iodine treatment on me which completely killed my thyroid. I used to be super skinny and could eat all the time. Now I'm not one of those people who ever got big my max weight after treatment was 147lbs, which for 5"4 still wasn't "big". I however was spending 2 hours working out 5 days a week and basically living on protein shakes so I should have definitely been a lot thinner. Before the treatment I was 123lbs and to bloom up to 147lbs in a matter of 4 years. I was on Synthroid for 6 years and never felt normal. I tried Naturoid for 6 months still nothing. My new doctor put me on Armour and I couldn't be happier. I have my energy back and am down to 130lbs."


"I was put on this medication after my insurance company stopped covering another PPI that worked well for me. I lasted one month and spent most of it popping ranitadine since anything I ate or drank caused almost immediate heartburn. By the end of the month I was vomiting. It was awful. I hated to be a pain but I called my PCP and told them I needed to go back on my previous med, which of course involved a lot of paperwork on his part. I have a friend that swears by this medication but mostly all I did was swear during the month I took it."


"I take a combo of Dyazide and Tenormin daily. Have been doing so for more than 30 years (80 now). I find thiis combo works very well for me. I have always had a high pulse rate and a high diastolic pressure. They have been excellently regulated with this combo."


"I've been on Junel Fe 24 going on 3 months and I can't wait to go off of it. I have very painful periods and I wanted to go back on birth control after being off for 2 years (previously on Lo Loestrin and it was great). My first couple weeks taking it I was nauseous on and off. I had my first period during the iron pills like I should, but then I had it again 2 weeks later for over a week. During my periods I  had a few days of cramping but not as bad as I had before (the only good part). I'm 24 yo and my sex drive is nonexistent, that's the main reason I need to switch. I'm also get very sad and emotional over nothing. I tried to give it a chance and tough it out hoping it would get better but it's not. I'm switching asap."


"I am 65 years old and have smoked since I was 16, I've been on the patch for two weeks. I have cravings daily but jeeez I smoked 49 years. I am committed to quit smoking and have no intentions failing. The cravings I have are easy to work through, I find something to occupy my mind for a few minutes. My plan is to use the patch for one month and after that my Dr. and I have worked it out for me to go on Chantix for however long necessary. I have also cut back on my consumption of beer and coffee and at has helped a lot. Good luck to all and stay strong."


"Yes - dalmane is very effective at putting and keeping you asleep.  I was prescribed it for four years before the dangers were known. By blocking neuron transmissions, mine were not communicating next day. I had a career that required thought, concentration and problem solving. I no longer could do any of that.  My professional, domestic social and economic life fell apart insidiously over that time. I became agoraphobic and withdrawn, dependent on others who told me what to do.  Recovery of my own mind took well over five years, many of them in a spin. I had been made very very ill indeed"


"I started taking this birth control 2 months ago and it has been the WORST experience for me. The crazy mood swings that I developed while on this medication made a huge impact on the way I treated my boyfriend and my family. I broke up with my boyfriend twice over ridiculous reasons because my emotions were so crazy! Also my acne on my face has never been worse. I never break out when NOT on birth control and all of the sudden while on this I have severe acne. I didn't even finish my last week of my 2nd month. I told my boyfriend I would rather use condoms and/or not have sex right now then feel like this. I haven't had a pill in 3 days, my face is already clear and my mood seems to be leveling out. I would NOT recommend."


"I am using this medicine for Peripheral Neuropathy (caused by Velcade) and it was marvelous for me. It stopped the feelings of stabbing pins and needles straight away in my hands and feet. I am taking 100mg 3 times a day and have only been taking it for a week."


"I've read a lot of comments about the Implanon and have noticed a few negative reviews. This is unfortunate as I am now on my second Implanon and have never been happier. I'm not saying the Implanon is for everyone, but how will you know until you try it for yourself? Don't be scared by the negative reviews. If the Implanon isn't for you, its easy to have it removed and symptoms are taken with it. When I first got the Implanon I had irregular periods for a couple of months but eventually they formed a pattern and I got them every 6 weeks. Since I have had my second Implanon I haven't had a period at all. The chances of falling pregnant on the Implanon are very slim but I rely on the occasional pregnancy test just to make sure. "


"I've had migraines (several types and causes) for about 22 years.  I've tried about every other triptan and preventive medication that's out there. Relpax works the best, by far. I have little side-effects, other than it makes me a little tired. But I'd rather have that than a debilitating migraine for days.  It works in about 30 minutes and you can totally function well on it. The only reason I give it a 9 is because it's expensive. With Insurance I pay $30 for 6 pills.  And half the time insurance won't cover it which makes it about $220 for 6 to 8 pills.  But if you can afford it, it's definitely worth the money to live a normal life again!"


"I was given this for pleurisy and got relief from the pain every time I took a breath after about 12 hours.  Saved my holiday celebration!  I also noticed an almost immediate relief of some severe sciatica pain I had been experiencing for over a week now.  The side-effect list is scary but I'll continue the treatment until the pills are gone.  I'm liking it just fine for now."


"I see people stating their bad experience with this drug, but more people should share their positive experience.  I was originally prescribed Amlodipine. Number 1 - it didn't work. Number 2 - side effects were horrible - chest pain, tinnitus, you name it - made me feel horrible.  After 2 months I asked the doctor to be switched to Lisinopril HCTZ 10, 12.5.  After only the first pill, my blood pressure was totally normal, for the most part sticks right around 120/80.  And I feel so so much better.  I've been taking this for over 2 months now - love my blood pressure readings and definitely no side effects.  It is so nice to feel normal again. As my blood pressure tended to spike early AM I take this at 9 pm every night - works best for me."


"My Boyfriend and I had unprotected sex on February 3 I took the pill the next day ( 14 hours in between unprotected sex) he said that he didn't cum but I didn't want to become pregnant due to precum or maybe he said that because he didn't want to scare me. I got most of the side effects : nausea, cramping, headaches and fatigue . I was suppose to get my period February 10 so I waiting feeling the side effects all through out that week I got my period 3 days late and Yes Plan B can make your period late but if you don't have spotting or your period within 3 weeks its recommended to take a test. Don't over stress yourself it does work... just remember to use a condom next time or check the expiring date on the condom."


"I have suffered acne only around my chin since I was 18years old. Now I am 28 yrs and I finally feel that I've found my savior for acne. I am pretty cynical at the best of times. So when my doctor prescribed me Epiduo I was assuming that it would be another cream that didn't work. But after spending so much money on beauticians and expensive brands. I was desperate. So I committed to using Ediduo after I cleansed every night, and after a month almost all my acne has cleared!!. I am so amazed by the results. I still have scarring that I hope fades over time. But I can not put into words how happy I am. You shouldn't use too much like half a pea size is plenty, gently rubbed into clean DRY skin. And use a gentle cleanser/moisterising routine."


"I'm 17 years old. I started taking this last year and it helps for sure with focus.  The main side effect issue I have with it is that I can't eat as much.  I play football and I try to gain weight so this was pretty frustrating.  But if you're not worried about your appetite then it's perfect."


"Like so many other reviewers, citalopram worked well for several months (actually a year and a half, in my case) but eventually the honeymoon ended and my debilitating anxiety and depression came back with a vengeance. The doctor put me on Lamictal, but I think it's more or less useless, and it makes me feel dizzy. "


"I started taking this and after a few weeks my Rosacea was clearer but had to stop because of UNBEARABLE joint pain. Doctor put me on a lower dose of doxycycline and so far so good."


"Will never take these again.  What is gentle about this drug anyway? After hours of horrible cramps and cold sweats and an excruciatingly painful BM the rest of this stuff is going in the trash."


"I have been using vaniqa for about 9 weeks now I can say this cream is absolutely life changing it has faded my dark patches I used to shave twice a day now I'm plucking out the odd few hair it's boosted back my confidence"


"Hi, my last post was 6/18. Just another follow up been on victoza since 3/6. I went for a check up today and I'm down another 6lbs that makes a total of 51lbs since the the being. Still no side effects and eating lots of veggies, fruits and chicken.  Still looking forward to the future and feeling a whole lot better."


"I'm 42 years old I was given generic birth control for yaz not to prevent pregnancy but to help me with my hotflashes and irregular periods. I was on for 1 year & 1/2 years and I notice I was developing muscle leg cramping , red spider veins on my legs. I read how it could be dangerous if you develop blood clot because of birthcontrol I discontinue the use but now I'm back of hotflashes no leg cramping but hotflashing
Are very uncomfortable I get moody any one knows what I can use to help me with hotflashes ..please help"


"This is the first real diet medicine I've taken and I lost 60 pounds in about 8 months."


"I have been on ortho tri cyclen LO since I was 15 I am now 21 . I recently tried out the regular ortho tri cyclen the past month (I know they say it takes about 3 months to fully kick in) but WORST experience I can't even last more than a month on this . I'm going back on the LO. The amount of water weight I am retaining is INSANE my feet look like sausages . I'm a solid 125 and vigorous gym junkie and I am 132 pounds now and feel like I constantly have a pregnant belly. I go into full mood swings non stop and in general just feel disgusting about myself. my skin is usually clear and I keep getting bad breakouts on my face and shoulders . very nauseous at night as well all the time ."


"I was on phentermine several years ago but didn't really try to change my eating habits and so it didn't work. I decided to try it again because I just keep piling on the weight and am slowly killing myself. I've been on it 3 days now and have already lost 8.4 pounds! I know it's mostly water weight right now but seeing that scale move so quickly is such a big motivator. My starting weight was 443.8 and now I'm 435.4. I eat between 1200-2000 calories per day. I've noticed that I'm eating less each day though and it helps take away the cravings so I can make smart decisions about what to eat. I am also watching my carbs and sugar intake. Only side effect I've had is mild dry mouth and not feeling sleepy during the day like I normally do."


"4 weeks on Cymbalta at 60mg. I came off because they made me feel ill, and I am used to medication as I have tried a few. I spent 3 years on a high dose of Citalopram and never went through anything like I have done with coming off Cymbalta. My GP decided to slowly taper me off and this is when hell started.  Never on any medication that I have taken have the withdrawals been as bad. I have constant nausea, have been sick, stomach aches and pains, diarrhea, dizziness, leg ache, restless sleep, bad dreams, chills, and now my anxiety is back!  I am crying on/off and having panic attacks. It's just awful.
"


"This is the first regular medicine I started to take -it did get my blood pressure down-no side effects that I noticed but now a couple of years into it my pulse/heart rate has perhaps become too low (48). I am on the lowest prescribed dose and may have to stop or change. My main source of stress (teen) has left so maybe I don't need it anymore."


"I was on this pill for 2 1/2 weeks and quit. I felt normal the first 2 weeks but once I started the third week my mood completely changed. I argued with my boyfriend for 3 days in a row over little things, and I knew it was the pill. Also, I've been eating so much more the past two weeks and I'm so scared to weigh myself because I know I've gained weight (also because of the pill). Lastly, I have very very clear skin; I breakout once a month, if that. However, my last week on the pill I broke out terribly. I have a painful zit on my left side of my forehead, 2 small pimples on the right side, and 2 small pimples on my left cheek. I never get pimples on my cheeks!!! This pill is horrible!!!"


"A very effective pain medicine that you don't feel you have to go reaching for it all the time to get relief. I mean you can strictly adhere and take this responsibly per doctors directions. Not many pharmacies carry it, if at all so you will have to order it. That means bringing in your prescription to order it. It may take awhile but it is worth it, for severe pain. Just stick with a good oxycodone for other types of pain. This Levo-Dromoran lasts awhile and too much can cause respiratory depression."


"I started taking Pristiq since I was having anxiety, slight depression and mild panic attacks in my job (I'm in sales). I was taking Lexapro on and off for a couple of years, but felt it wasn't working anymore, so my doctor recommended Pristiq. I am 3 days in and feel great! I've experienced slight nausea (but food helps), decreased appetite, dry mouth and slight jaw clenching. Also my first two days, a couple of hours after I took it (which has been in the morning), I would feel extremely tired. But I would snap out of it and feel great. Overall, I feel happy, calm and focused. I hope to only be on Pristiq for short term, but while I am going through this difficult time in life it will be my miracle. "


"I was diagnosed with allergy induced sinus infection.  I also had really itchy ears and skin patches.  The loratadine helped these problems but cause really serious CNS side effects.  My PB was elevated by 30 points (154/93) with heart rate at 68.  I was in a full body shake early in the morning of the 4 day of treatment.  I also experienced serious anxiety and depression problems.  I stopped taking the meds and the symptoms gradually subsided through the day.  Not a good choice for me."


"My Psychiatrist put me in 50mg Pristiq for compulsive, regular binge eating and anxiety/depression.  The first week I was on it, my anxiety-ridden thoughts about food changed completely and I lost interest in binge eating, so I have lost a few pounds so far.  I was extremely happy, with virtually no anxiety.  I am now on week 2, and the anxiety is starting to creep back in and I'm not quite as happy, so I will be discussing increasing my dosage with my doctor.  The loss of interest in food has persisted.  Overall, I think this medication is great and I plan to stay on it."


"Awful patch waste of money! They should be embarrassed to sell a patch that doesn't stick to your skin, what is the point."


"Amazing drug for general anxiety and to take on a schedule, not for panic attacks.This is more like for anxiety prevention drug to relax during the day or night and helps with muscle relaxation, without sedation at low doses. Takes about 45 minutes to start feeling full effects with onset at 25 minutes. This also does not make me feel tired like Xanax that comes on fast."


"I started taking Lo Loestrin Fe about three months ago. This birth control is amazing. Compared to my old pill, Levora, a lot of those side effects have gone away like my hormonal cystic acne that covered my back and face. In addition, I stopped having my period completely. I have not noticed any breast tenderness or any of the other side effects. I recommend this to those at a younger age. Unfortunately, my insurance does not cover this and it is very pricey (around $100 per month)."


"I feel like this medication is making me feel extremely depressed in a way I haven't suffered before. Unfortunately, my doctor says this can't be the case and it must be my condition ( despite the fact I have never felt this way before)."


"Delivered my first child at 28weeks n 4 days...she lived 2 b 7weeks n died after that....2nd pregnancy Dr recommend shots from 16weeks up 2 36weeks well I'm proud 2 say I made it 2 36weeks moral of the story is shots may be painful but it works.....thank god I get 2 take this 1 hm"


"The side effects of this drug have destroyed my well-being, and I am not exaggerating when I say that. Everything was going very well the first 2 months I was on the drug. But then the insomnia started. And then came the irritability. Then the short temper. Then the escalated anger. And then came the panic attacks, leading to dependency on Xanax XR. Depression came back anyway when the insomnia started. My social anxiety has returned in a big way. The lowest dose was too activating for me. I would not recommend this medication for anyone who suffers from anxiety along with depression, even *if* your depression is worse than your anxiety. I've been off it for almost a week.

Pro: transdermal = bypasses the digestive tract"


"I had great success with this medicine at first.  I had/have the 10 mg pills.  When I started taking it, I would use it 3-4 times per week even though I could not fall or stay asleep on the other nights.  Now I take it every night along with Xanax for insomnia and that still doesn't do the trick.  My doctor added Trazodone 50mg to the mix. I still only get about 3-5 hours of sleep.  It takes till 5 or 6 in the morning for me to fall asleep. It is slightly better than nothing at all, all 3 of the medicine's combined that is.  I am beginning to feel like I will never sleep a good nights sleep."


"Seemed to help with the pain and aches from sinus and ears.

But..

I developed a regular very noisy wheeze inhaling (lower right lung area on deep breaths) which was audible to people sitting next to me over the couple of days taking the spray. Enough to concern me and research whether the spray had caused it. It can be a rare side effect. Going to GP to discuss."


"I have had migraines for 31 yrs beginning after hysterectomy.  I average 16 migraine days every month that last from 4 to 72 hrs.  I've tried every treatment except Depakot, which I refused because of the lasting bad side effects.  I had the first of 3 Botox treatments in last month and had 11 days of migraines.  Was hoping for less.  My eyelids are droopy, vision blurred in right eye, and just now am able to raise my eyebrows just a little.  I've read that these side effects go away by the time I get the next treatment.  If it affects my eye sight every time, and I still have this many migraines, I'm questioning whether to continue treatments. "


"My confirmed diagnosis is Fibroidmyalgia, Sjogrens, and severe arthritis which I have suffered for many years. The Fibroidmyalgia tested the worse out of all other disorders.  My PCP gave me 60 mg/day of Cymbalta which was reduced quickly for I slept all the time & couldn't control my eyes. My husband said i walked around w/my eyes wide open & I'd forget to blink, said I resembled a zombie. My RA Doctor advised me to combine Cymbalta with Lyrica to increase effectiveness which I'm hesitant to try. My pain, tiredness, and sensitivity has increased severely w/Cymbalta, and I honestly feel it's not worth the risk."


"Singulair has been a godsend to help control my daily asthma symptoms due to allergenic/mold triggers. I haven't noticed it make a difference with exercise or smoke triggers, but it definitely helps reduce frequency/severity of asthma symptoms in general. If I take a few days to pick up my prescription, I can absolutely feel a difference in my lung health. I've been waiting the past few days to get the entire prescription renewed with my doctor and I had a nighttime attack last night for the first time since I started taking the medicine (it's been six days since I last took it).
I have not experienced any mood changes even though I already had diagnosed anxiety when I started the medication or any other adverse side effects."


"I love this medication. I use it on my skin. I only wish I could get enough to last me the entire month. I usually run out in a week but really clear up that week."


"I was on this medicine for about 6 months and in that time I felt worse than when I wasn't taking it. It took the migraines away but I still had muscle aches, fatigue, hair loss, dry skin, brittle nails and more. The huge symptom I had on this medicine that bothered me is the depression. I felt dread and doom everyday. I couldn't take it anymore, so I stopped taking it, then I went to a different doctor that prescribed me Armour."


"Hey ladies!! Just like you I was reading these freakin out so I'm here to share my experience! My boyfriend and I were having sex, the condom broke and we didn't know. He always pulls out but does as he's cumming. I took the pill 11 hours after our mishap. Did some research and I was ovulating the day it happened of course I freaked out! Stomach cramps, headaches, back pain, vaginal discharge, and fatigue were all of the side affects I had from the pill. But I started my period almost a week early! I also took a pregnancy test 2 weeks after the mishap and it came back negative. I'm not gonna tell you to not stress because I know I did."


"I have chronic back pain that I take a pain medicine for. (Nucynta- and it's great!). I still had a problem with falling asleep so my pain doctor suggested I try this. It has changed my life. It is so amazing how it works. You really don't know it's working until you lie down and try to go to sleep. This pill doesn't give you the normal feelings of getting sleepy like the others. This is working your brain to shut down in such a cool way you hardly know it unless you stay up waiting for that feeling. I think if I didn't have the back pain I would probably sleep straight through the night but my pain meds run out after 5hrs so I have to take one again for that. No probs going back to sleep. I get a lot of memory loss on the night before though.

"I have been prescribed Tramadol for post traumatic stress disorder/anxiety by my doctor. I take it at night and my PTSD nightmares have completely diminished!"


"I am 14 and I have been diagnosed with arthritis. Enbrel helped me for about a month or so but recently I have started feeling the pain again. I cannot get out of bed in the morning anymore. When I take the injections it hurts really bad. "


"Did not work for some reason. I took it at 6;00pm, and did not get a bowel movement until 2:00am. It was so bad for causing pressure to urinate I could not finish the second bottle."


"I have been on Zoloft for almost one year.  After reading some of the other posts, I have realized my weight gain is caused by the medication.  Or is it?  How do I know?  My anxiety is much better, but I need to find a way to maintain my weight because I don't want to stop the medication."


"I have been taking xyrem for nearly 10 years.  It has changed my life for the better.  I don't mix it with water; I just take it straight twice a night.  I am on 3.75 mg 2x per night.  I stay on a pretty strict sleep schedule even on the weekend."


"So far it's been my first week taking it and I am not impressed. I've been nauseous everyday this week, gotten severe headaches, and now I am worried that my relationship is gonna be ruined because of the side effects this pill has on me. It's making me look and act like a total cow. which I'm usually not.

I'm also very annoyed  that my doctor switched me to this without warning. Jublier is a better brand."


"Discovered rash on a Thursday, prescribed Valtrex on a Friday. Woke up Saturday and rash was still spreading but stopped by that night and began to dry up by Tuesday- no blisters ever formed and itching/pain was very minimal! Side effects only the first day or so, but not positive it was from Valtrex- the sickness/headaches I felt could've easily been from my anxiety. By the third day, any side effects subsided completely and had no issues finishing the medication. After reading stories of shingles sufferers who did not take anti-virals, I am so happy my doctor prescribed this medication. Also, a suggestion, Burow's solution (sold as Domeboro in most pharmacies) helped soothe and dry up my rash quickly! Keep your head up! :)"


"Saved my life plain and simple.  Taking the drug for 18 years now fluctuating between 100 and 400mg over the years.  The thoughts consumed my every waking moment, smothering me, making it impossible to live.  In the times I've gone off the drug over the years my symptoms resurfaced, only to be reigned in by Luvox.  Yes there are side effects, but they are nothing that can't be tolerated when the alternative is death."


"Nuvigil is a great medication. I have Bipolar disorder mixed state. I was often drowsy before taking Nuvigil. The first few days of taking 250mg of Nuvigil I felt better than ever. I was working out at the gym for an hour. Before taking the medication I couldn't even run. Depression sucked the life out of me. One of the bad side effects of Nuvigil is it induces mania/hypomania. I became hypomanic until my mood would drop down to depression and I had to take a mood stabilizer in order to normalize my mood."


"I have been on opiod therapy for about 2 years now. I was taking Oxycodone 5mg tablets. Taking 2 every 4 hours about 4 times a day. That worked for about 2 months. Then i developed a tolerance to it, so my dr. told me to take 3-4 tablets every 4 hours, 3-4 times a day. Which i always ran out early. Then my medical insurance changed so i had to find a new dr. and no dr. would take me on because i am a chronic pain patient due to my PCOS and my renal colic all the time. And i have MRSA all the time due to an immune system disease. So i just finally found a pain management clinic that would take me and i had my first appt. today. And he prescribed me fentanyl patch 50mcgx72hrs. It is already working And no more taking 12-16 pills a day love it."


"I was reluctant to try Linzess and I wish I'd listened to myself! horrid pain for hours, cramping, stomach pain, belching, lightheaded, chills, and now spasms, definitely a setback in my GI saga. I'm irritable and completely out of sorts too - my poor family!  At one point I thought I'd faint and need urgent care. I'm lucky my kids were here to help. I took it as directed, so that's not the issue. I'm just posting in case anyone else experiencing a negative reaction is wondering if they're alone. You're not. It's not for everyone."


"Suboxone/Subutex has saved my life.  After five years of opiate addiction, this medicine has set me free.  I feel contempt with life and normal, for once.  Buprenorphine is truly a miracle and life saver.  If you want to get clean, and you can find a doctor that truly wants to help you and understands addiction, there's nothing standing in your way.  It is expensive without insurance, but it is worth it.  I take 16mg of the Suboxone films a day, and I have not had a craving since I started taking them.  If you want to get clean, this is the best way to begin that process."


"I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in Feb. 2012 and started Enbrel the following September. I insisted on a biologic, as the methotrexate wasn't doing any good.  I'm on 25mg twice weekly. I still have pain, my knees and left hip are the problem areas for me. I'm able to work, but still have to rest (ha ha! ) when I'm off. I would recommend Enbrel, the side effects have been minimal, compared to some of the other treatments."


"Cough up blood and no comment from company"


"I've taken many different types of birth control trying to find the right fit. I saw good reviews for Sprintec so I was going to go with that, but my doctor gave me the generic instead which is Estraylla. I've only been on it a month and I'm nearing the last week of my pack. I haven't eaten for 3 days because I feel so sick, I've thrown up for the past 2 days as well. I haven't had sex since I started this pill because my sex drive is totally gone. This is seriously the worst birth control I've been on I can't even finish the pack I feel so sick and anxious all the time. Do NOT get this birth control. There are a million different ones out there that are so much better."


"This is my first birth control, and I love it! It's convenient because I don't have to remember to take a pill everyday. My boobs have grown a half size bigger and my acne cleared up. I have no other side effects. (I'm on 25 mg and I am 120 lbs)"


"Tried for a couple of days and could get past the blurry vision and agitation."


"I've had real bad anxiety for 3 years, tried everything, had CBT... going for more CBT. Now I'm on the pregabalin, been on it a month and what a difference its made. I feel so much better already. I'm only on 100mg a day, possibly need a bit more but I can feel the change, this really is a wonderful medicine. Not sure why my GP took so long in getting me on this."


"Started using pramipexole when weaning from zolpidem at sleep clinic. Long term insomnia complicated by shift work/school/age/family history. Pramipexole at 0.125mg/qd worked for about 9 months. Less effective if taken with food. Now, after a year, about 3 X week, first dose insufficient, so I take a second and that works. No side effects in gastrointestinal or balance/reaction time."


"I started depo mid Feb, I'm 38, can't have kids, but due to a work injury, my periods were aggravating my back pain. My period lasted 12 days. I then stopped bleeding, missed a period and was stoked thinking it was working...nope..for the last 37 days I have been bleeding. I had a scan, found a 3x7mm polyp and found that my uterus had backflipped and my endometrial wall was thick. I've just had my second shot, the doctor said 2 or 3 days and the bleeding should stop. Fingers are crossed, but I don't have high hopes, I'm looking into getting my uterus removed...that's how miserable the prolonged bleeding has made me. On the flip side though, my 19yo daughter got the injection the same day as me and has had no dramas what so ever."


"NuvaRing gave me hormonal hot flashes, and I found it hard to take my Loestrin 24 Fe at the same time every day, so I decided to try Nexplanon. I am a 23 year old college graduate, and I am 3 weeks into my Nexplanon. Granted, it hasn't been long, but my experience so far is AMAZING. Ladies, I want to make sure all of you know that birth control works differently with every woman, and most reviews online are from negative experiences, for I was so nervous to get this inserted because of all the negative online reviews. Here's how my experience has been so far: extremely clear skin, no breakthrough bleeding or spotting, no mood swings, pain, headaches or nausea, bigger breasts. I'm in love. Don't believe every negative review."


"I have only been using Qsymia for one week but dropped 3.6 lbs so far. It's really working. Usually I drop 3 pounds a month so this is really amazing for me. Not too many side effects but you have to drink water and limit your calories and exercise."


"Yes prilosec stopped my heartburn most of the time. I have been hospitalized after I stopped. I now have arthritis so badly in both my hips I have to have them both replaced. I'm only 44 years old. I've been taking the meds since I was 17. If I would had been diagnosed or even tested for H Pylori this could have been cured years ago and I wouldn't have to have my hips replaced. There is no arthritis that runs on either side of my family."


"I'm now 35 years old and I have been on Oxycontin 80mg 3 per day for about 10 years now, plus breakthrough pain medication.  I found it very helpful until my body gradually developed tolerance to the medicine.  I inquired about going to our local methadone clinic.  I took a chance and tried methadone instead.  Methadone took away all the pain that the oxycodone did but there wasn't any euphoric feeling. That is what caused problems with my family and the law. Well now I function and I have pain relief, and everyone is happy.  "


"I was given tramadol for back pain. It does not do much for the back pain but I noticed that is sure did something for my energy level and focus ability I have chronic fatigue I have severe fatigue all the time no matter how little or how much rest I get. I find that taking 100 mg of Tramadol when I get up and a 50 mg around 2 pm keeps me focused and feeling like a normal human being who can get normal human being things done all day. I explained this to my doctor and she now has stopped prescribing it to me because I am not using it for what she gave it to me for. I am so mad. I feel like a scolded child. I am a 45 year old woman who found something that worked for the condition that was depressing me to say the least because I was so tired just moving around"


"Methadone Maintenance Therapy, or MMT quite literally saved my life. Yes, there are side effects such as weight gain, low testosterone levels and excess sweating or flushing. But now I am back in college majoring in Psychology with a minor in Neuroscience. I had been treated inpatient at one of the best hospitals in the country. They used Methadone initially to get me over withdrawal symptoms along with other medicines such as clonazepam and clonidine. Sadly I eventually relapsed and it eventually took MMT to help me get back on track. I hope to use what I know about addiction to help others. It's not perfect but MMT saved me and my relationships with my family. MMT should only be used as a last resort, it is not an "easy way out"."


"I have just started xenical on 21/07/2017. This is day 2 and I have not experienced any side effects whatsoever. Makes me wonder if it will really work on me. I have also started diet for fools so no carbs and really low fat. I have started a jogging regime for 30mins per day. I will weigh myself in a weeks time to check the progress then I will rate. I currently weigh 73kgs and my height is 4. 7."


"I have not experienced any side effects whatsoever.  I take 1500 mgs every night after supper.  I went from not sleeping due to pain in my right leg to sleeping the whole night through.  Also, I had become so stiff it was hard getting up and down out of chairs and out of the car.  With this medicine, I am up and down like a normal 40 year old, rather than an 80 year old.  I am so very grateful for this medicine."


"Taking my first dose of Saxenda tonight. Hoping I don't get the awful nausea and heart burn that I have read on some reviews."


"I have been taking Bontril since April. I have lost 44 lbs."


"My son has severe eczema and is only 17 months old. We had tried what seemed like every OTC and prescription Med out there and nothing helped. He would itch all night and get open sores from scratching. His face is constantly bleeding. The derm recommended this. We have only had it two days and it had been amazing. The cracked skin is now smooth and the crusted blisters have completely disappeared. He slept so good and doesn't seem miserable and itchy. So far we love it!"


"Hi there can somebody please help me as I've been on citalopram 20mg for 16 days now do feel a little bit better but not there yet. I want to be my self again as I've got no control over my mind feels like I'm going crazy can some body please let me know"


"I've had no mood swings, no weight gain, no acne. It has certainly prevented pregnancy. However, I have had a full period lasting more than 7 days every other week for the past 6 months. I spend almost half my month bleeding. I don't get cramps but my periods are heavier than before. It's getting to the point where I'm thinking about getting it taken out."


"I am a recovering heroin addict and have been taking suboxone in low-medium amounts to control withdrawal sympts & cravings, as I was not able to stay clean on my own due to underlying depression, schizophrenia, ptsd, and others. I have been clean for over 3 years and have had crippling constipation since on the suboxone. My Dr prescribed me amitiza, but told me to only take it as needed. I did experience nausea and stomach cramps at first, but now do okay with it, and have had much better BMs. "


"I have been on Vistaril for about a year now and it has helped my anxiety greatly. Not to mention no side effects at all. It also helps greatly with itching and extreme tension. I am taking 200 mg per day in two divided doses.  I am very happy with this medication."


"My 9 year old was doing very well but then became overly aggressive. We are temporarily taking him off to evaluate. But he was doing better in school, sports and socially."


"For the people who are worried about taking Tamiflu because of vomiting or worse symptoms, there is no need. I was worried of vomiting when my doctor prescribed it too me. To lessen the chance or basically exterminate the chance of vomiting, have a snack or a meal and you won't feel a thing. It will feel like your taking a regular medicine."


"I'm blocked up (change in routine, travelling, change in diet, stress ....) - so I go to the pharmacy and select Dulcolax Pink - it says it's GENTLE and works in 6-12 hours.  Take it ONE PILL at 7pm - up from 12-2am with horrible tummy pains and the urge to vomit.  It's now 9am - no bowel movement.  Still feeling queasy and blocked up.  NO RESULT - JUST MORE DISCOMFORT.  This is not a winner! :((("


"I've taken Voltaren for over 25 years 3 times a day.  For 5 days before each of 4 complete joint replacements,  I had to quit taking it since it is a slight blood thinner.  Each time I got very stiff with painful joints.  I've tried most of the other arthritis NSAIDS and none work nearly as well.  My Dr. runs a liver function test every 6 months."


"I've dealt with major depressive disorder for 22 years and have always had to be on several anti-depressants at one time. They only lessened my symptoms in the best of cases, but did nothing most of the time. I've been on every antidepressant in addition to things like risperdal as an adjunct. I was on 450mg welbutrin, 60mg remeron and 120mg cymbalta concurrently with no effect when I decided to take the MAOI plunge. That was 18 months ago. It's truly amazing to feel normal. I'd forgotten what that felt like.

I do have to say the first couple of months were the most brutal med adjustment I've ever been through. Very glad I hung in and didn't give up."


"AMAZING medication for hormonal acne! I am in my mid-twenties and began having hormonal acne and very oily skin this past year. My acne was primarily located on my jaw line, chin and far sides of my cheeks. It is completely gone and my complexion is GLOWING."


"This product is amazing, I used to have loads of acne, pimples and bumps all over my face and it cleared it all within a few weeks. However I recommend after applying the Epiduo for you to apply a face moisturiser to avoid any burn or red scars in your face."


"When I moved to Indiana I started getting migraines . My doctor prescribed imitrex 25 mg which worked beautifully as long as I took it when the migraine started. Though it still doesn't always work and I take another dose 2 hours after the 1st dose. I developed tolerance to it and now need to take 50 mg. Fortunately my migraines have slowed down to a dull roar as I've figured out my triggers. Imitrex has some annoying but mostly tolerable side effects that dissipate with use, such as feeling physically fatigued, feeling kind of drugged, trouble thinking clearly, increased blood pressure/heart rate, sometimes I feel shaky."


"I have taken Savella now, 100 mg 2 times a day for 5 years now, with Fantastic results. I have tried so many including cymbolta, which worked well also, but I had many side effects.  I recently saw a neurologist and he had never seen anyone take 100 mg twice a day, but it was the only way it worked for me.  I was able to stop Taking Gabapentin, which I took 3 times a day.  My pain on Savella has gone from 10 to zero."


"Makes me really sleepy. But it cancels out my suicidal thoughts and depression, down side is the sedation."


"I have taken Xanax now for six months and it has been the best six months in a long time. I have finally been able to go out in places where before I absolutely would not go for fear of panic attacks. I was on 8mg Ativan and 60mg Tranxene before and all I did was stay in my house and sleep. Thank goodness my doctor prescribed Xanax."


"I have a very very hard time with medicine. Even mild medications have made me extremely sick. I can't tolerate cipro or Bactrim, and easily get utis. I was terrified this time when they gave me macrobid because I'd never had it. Even zpack made me very sick. And then I read these reviews and just cried at the thought of taking it. I went out and bought crackers and sprite, etc. to prepare for what's been described here. Then I took it, and waited. ... and waited.... and waited. Nothing horrible ever happened. It's important to remember that everyone has a different experience. Don't even read these. My main advice w this med is to eat eat eat. If anything happens you feel is weird just ask your Dr. But mostly, relax and trust your Dr."


"I have been taking 250 mg of Nuvigil every morning for a year. I could not stay awake at all before starting this medication. After taking Nuvigil I felt much better. I have had a lot going on lately and stress does affect how this medication works for me. If my sleep pattern is disturbed (have to get up extra early or go to bed really late) it also has a huge impact on how this medication works for me. Overall this medicine has given my quality of life back. "


"I have to be in bed by 8 pm to get a full nights sleep for work early the next morning.  I've never been able to fall asleep that early on my own, but Lunesta has been awesome.  It does not make me sleepy, but 15 minutes after taking it I lay down and just go to sleep.  At first I found I would wake up 4 or 5 hours later, but my doctor recommended taking melatonin with Lunesta.  Doing this (I take the 10mg time release melatonin) I sleep all night, easily wake up with the alarm clock, have no bad taste in my mouth, and am not groggy at all.  I do not take it on nights where I do not have to get up early the next day."


"I was changed to this because my previous birth control was discontinued. From the very second day I was on this, I've had horrible cystic acne all over my body which I've never had issue with before and I'm in my mid-30s. This has also made my cycle extremely unpredictable with extra long periods (usually 4 days, now 10-12 every time). I do not recommend."


"Drank down this stuff as quick as I could, rinsing my mouth out in between? This stuff is too salty and too sweet, two things I do not like as I have high blood pressure and am diabetic. Within 40 minutes of getting the last bit down, I was on the toilet with my garbage can with liquid coming out of both ends. There was no way I'd ever get that second bottle down at 2 am and at 6:30am I was still having fiery liquid violently expelling from the rear. Because there were still brown sediment (not sure how that was even possible) my doctor had to cancel procedure. Never ever again. This is my second colonoscopy within 5 years and the first time my dr (different one as we moved) had me do Miralax which is flavorless. No issues with that way."


"I have been taking Nexavar now for about 5 months and the only side effect currently is the dry skin and peeling skin on my hands. Initally after 2 weeks of use I developed a rash but pushed through it and the rash diminished after a few more weeks. I initally went through a normal chemo regimen for a little over a year as I had my right kidney removed for cancer in 1987 and wasn't about to have to go on dialysis for the rest of my days. I was diagnosed with renal cell cancer in Aug of 2010 and no it has spread to some lympth nodes and my left lung. After starting Nexavar my lung tumors have slightly diminished in size so hopefully it will allow me to hang around a few extra years. I work full time and travel extensively, so everyone be positive."


"I've taken Lo Loestrin Fe for about 2 and half years now. I am very prompt about taking it everyday at the same time. I never forget to take it. I rarely had acne before I went on but I do still normally as before the pill get an occasional zit, nothing too bad. My period is off every other month though. Sometimes it 3-4 days and other times just 2 days. My period prior to the pill was heavy and a full 7 days so that's why I first got put on the pill."


"Definitely gets the job done. Use Vaseline or A&D on your rear! This stuff can really burn. My husband was so sore he couldn't sit, and I had NO pain at all. That was the difference.

I drank the first dose over 40 minutes, followed by the water--all in by 1.5 hours, as MD said I could take 2.5 hours if needed. I figured drinking the Suprep slowly would likely avoid some of the cramping and bloating and violent responses of which others complained.

It seemed to work. It tasted bad, but after all the reviews, I tho't it would be worse, and at 55 min results came in a controlled fashion, i.e., no great emergency. Second dose was a little harder to drink, but I did. I'm a small female, too. Next time I won't be as nervous."


"I was hospitalized with pneumonia receiving Levaquin and fluids via IV.  By the fifth day, the fever was gone and the cough was almost gone.  I felt overwhelmingly tired for several weeks but my doctor said that is to be expected with pneumonia."


"My experience with Nature Throid has been very positive from the very first dose. Increased energy was immediately noticed. After 6 months of continuous use, I began to lose weight. The shoulder and neck pain associated with my thyroid disorder decreased tremendously. NatureThroid alone is not enough. I must take vitamin and mineral supplements to further lessen my symptoms as well as avoid certain foods and drinks."


"I would rate this an eight.  Unfortunately I found that if I take it when I am already nauseated (the kind where you know you will be throwing up in about an hour) it is too late.  And this medication burns my throat when it comes back up.  (sorry to be a little graphic but this IS a nausea/vomiting medication.  I have to pay really close attention.  If I have any vertigo that day then I take one.  Otherwise.  like I said...  it doesn't help.  Rather like vicoden and a few other pain relievers, that won't stop your toothache once it has taken hold.  I hate taking it when I am not sure.  It certainly DOES make me sleepy.
"


"Took 2 25mg vistaril as ordered. My mind did rest and sleep but had really strange dreams. But didn't wake till morning. Just extremely anxious now because of the freaky dream."


"I had no idea that I was bipolar until a pyschiatrist diagnosed me. I take 20 mg in the am and 60mg in the pm and I feel so much better about my life. I can focus and sleep again. The best part of it has been the feeling of "normalcy" I now have."


"Currently on 10 mg Citalopram and feel wonderful.  I was diagnosed 7/2011 with Depression/Anxiety and prescribed 5 mg Lexapro, I remained on to the end of August 2011.  I did beautifully on Lexapro and felt the best I have ever felt in a long time.  Upset stomach the first week the only side effect.  My Insurance will not cover Lexapro, I switched to Citalopram.  Once again, upset stomach the first couple days the only side effect.  Citalopram makes me a bit more drowsy (take 2-3 hrs before bedtime) than Lexapro so I am sleeping much better and don't feel groggy in the morning.  I am very happy and loved ones/friends are even happier."


"I have 5 days left of my 12 week treatment. Feeling great and very grateful with no side effects. Strongly recommend this treatment."


"This Friday will be 5 weeks since I've gotten my Mirena. When I got it put in I had been off my period for 5 days. It was crampy getting it placed but was not as bad as I thought it would be. I was a little light headed after wards and had to sit for a minute before driving home. I spotted very lightly for about two days and then on the third day I started what seemed like a heavy period. I've been bleeding heavy since then with a few light spotting days. I'd go almost a whole day without bleeding thinking it was about to stop but then I would start again. The cramps would get so bad that T3s didn't even help much. These last 3 days I've started to notice small tissue clots in the blood and the smell is bad. I see my OB Friday."


"I was prescribed this drug for ocd, depression, and anxiety.  I couldn't take it for longer than 2 days.  It did not help me with anxiety or depression only made it worse.  If you take this drug and it makes you feel awful you're not the only one."


"I was given this for my chronic fatigue at the time only associated with Multiple Sclerosis.
It didn't work.
I didn't get a cold or the flu during that time though :)"


"I have been on Atripla successfully for over 2 years but now am having increased trouble concentrating and remembering things that I used to take for granted.  I used to be a very sharp and alert person, but now I am seeing my doctor on Monday to ask if I can switch to something else because my depression and concentration is unbearable.  I am a very high functioning partner at a firm and I am noticeably less sharp! I am bummed because I don't want to switch yet!  I thought I would be on this for 10 years before I had to find something else.  Also fatigue and muscle loss is more evident.  I am however grateful that my counts are very good, but wow - I need to get a grip on my joy and alertness again!"


"I've been on Necon 1/35 for almost two years now, but had to switch to Notrel last month because it was all my pharmacy had to distribute apparently.
The first month of taking it I had no problems but my period was super light and lasted 2 days (concerning, but only slightly). Now I'm on month two and my first pill last night made me so incredibly nauseous. I woke up at 4am running to the bathroom because I thought I was going to vomit. This feeling has lasted another 5 hours now, and I've taken one ondansetron (anti nausea tablet) since then and drank some water with no change.
So far the pill has been great at preventing pregnancy, but my sex drive has lowered significantly. Hoping this nauseousness goes away soon!"


"For info purposes I'm a 19 year old female- 110lbs. I've had body image and weight issues for a very long time which are big contributing factors to my depression. I was terrified of gaining weight on antidepressants so asked my doc about Wellbutrin. I've been on it for the past 3 weeks and haven't noticed any differences in depression really. Some days I felt happy and energetic but other days I felt crazy  like an emotional mess(also a lot of shaking). Not sure if the drug or life circumstances were responsible. I did stop craving + thinking about food. Metabolism increased and I had little interest in food- so I lost a couple pounds after a week. 2 days ago i began having a severe allergic reaction so I've had to stop taking it."


"I have had Asthma all my life. This medication CHANGED my life. I have always used albuterol (inhaler and nebulizer) for fast acting relief, along with steroid preventative inhalers. Two years ago when I was diagnosed yet again with pneumonia, my new doctor prescribed Singulair. I am an active person, who likes to run etc. Until Singulair I had never in my lifetime ran without having to use my albuterol both before and after. Not only that, this year I made it through flu season without developing pneumonia. Until I used Singulair I had never known what it felt like to be "normal". To run and exist without having to stop because I was wheezing and couldn't breathe."


"I was prescribed Toradol for pain management after a breast reduction recently, and after spine surgery years ago. I found it ineffective both times. I switched to Tylenol extra strength, which is only slightly better for pain, but without the side effects.
After spine surgery, I took one Toradol then threw out the bottle and switched, I also used an ice pack throughout the day.
The pain after my breast reduction was much more severe, so I gave the Toradol a few days hoping it would work, but it just gave me horrible stomach pain in addition to the pain from surgery.
I don't recommend it for severe pain, and will ask for something else in the future"


"I've had the the Mirena since 2008, second insert now and it works fine for me. Insertion the first time was a bit uncomfortable, but removing it was mildly painful. I spotted for about two days with very little cramping. Some months I spot for a day and some months not at all. I will have it again in 2018. No problems for me."


"I was on this for several months and my mentality improved 100%. I have not felt so good in years. I was absolutely amazed by this medicine.

I am only giving it a 7 for the simple fact that not only did it cause weight gain, but my ankles and fingers stayed swollen and was painful. I tried taking Lasix to get rid of the swelling, but it just never worked. I really hated to come off this medicine."


Mucinex Fast-Max Severe Congestion & Cough

"Took it an hour ago. Now I'm drowsy but also heart racing and shaky and nauseous ... so 3  more hours of this, and i have to get my kids off the bus.  Never again will I take this.  Did wonders for my cold but these side effects aren't even worth it...."


"I took it for 2 weeks. Started 75mg first week and went up to 150mg the second. Several days after I increased the dosage, I lost all sex potency and sex drive completely. I'm a 25 year old man and I was not able to orgasm at all.

After I stopped I have VERY SEVERE withdrawal symptoms. I had to lose work for several days and was very close to being sent to a hospital.

At NO POINT did my doctor warn me of any of these symptoms.

It's very important to understand that this drug is that this drug CAN cause permanent damage and that it is highly addictive even after a short time.

I'd rather take a bullet to my head than take this pill ever again."


"I started this to help with cramping, get my period every 3 months and control other issues. I normally get 1 heavy day and my period lasts for 4 days. Yeah well I have had a heavy period now for 4 days n non stop clotting. Don't take This!!"


"I've been taking this for about two months.  I had previously taken Cymbalta for the past three to five years, but felt it had lost its effectiveness and was causing severe decreased libido.  I have gained two-four pounds, constantly itch, am very moody, easily agitated, feel more depressed than before, and still no sexual desire.
40 year old female"


"I've been using Topamax for about 4 months after suffering for about 20 years.  The migraines had started to come every week and I couldn't function for days.  This medicine allowed me to function again without having to worry about when the next big headache was going to come.  Side effects haven't been too bad, some tingling, and I can no longer drink anything carbonated, but well worth it. "


"I was prescribed this medicine for a tooth infection and had serious bad pain. Took one 600mg and I was all good except sleepy. "


"I got the implant November 2015. It definitely works as far as not getting pregnant. However, I have month long periods. On a month, then off a month. And I am very emotional.I cry over the simplest things. the emotional part is a deal breaker, I'm getting it removed. But for those who don't have this issue I suggest you keep the implant! It is definitely effective for not becoming pregnant"


"I am a prediabetic with glucose at 109 fasting.  I am taking Victoza to lose weight and not become a full fledged diabetic.  After trying Byetta which made me sick and not lose weight, my endocrinologist prescribed Victoza July 2nd.  I have lost 6 pounds, eat only when I need to, eat foods that are better for me and have NO NAUSEA at all. In 3 weeks I have already bumped up to 1.8mg a day.  I love this medicine and will stay on it until I go from my current 180 to 125."


"This medication help with my urinary track infection after taking my first dosage I felt great  and I was prescribed for 10 days to take it . I am on my 9th day , tomorrow will be my last dosage and I been having light head , dizziness and lots  constipation ."


"I'm 33y/o, 5'7", 150# male, blood chem all perfect but diagnosed with hypertension (genetics) since I was 28y/o. I exercise at least 4 times a week (light weights lifting and playing basketball, sometimes biking and tennis).  Have taken Losartan and Losartan HCTZ before this Benicar HCT.  6 days while on Benicar HCT 40/25mg:

     Lowest BP reading 101/52.

     Mild "Lightheadedness".

     Mild shortness of breath.

     Muscle cramping - Experienced very severe muscle cramps from torso down to the legs after playing basketball that I ended up in the ER due to severe body cramps and hyperventilation.  It was the very 1st time that I experienced such terrible and frightening muscle cramps.

     Some itchiness in the scalp."


"I had a period every month for two years being on Mirena and spotted in between periods. I also got really bad acne. The benefit of it not worrying about taking BC pills everyday but I got it taken out. Not worth it!"


"I have been operated on for Bladder cancer. My Doctor tried many pain medications to alleviate the pain from Bladder spasms as a result of the removal of the cancer from my bladder. B&O 16 is the only medicine that gave me relief from the spasms. Thank goodness it was available. I use it only as needed for the spasms, and it is not long term, however it has taken care of the problem and let me recover without the pain."


"As someone constantly in pain from sports injuries and just general pain from working out 4-5 times a week, minor sciatic recurring pain in my legs, and with no options to discontinue my weekly workout routine Percocet is perfect. Never has Percocet made me loopy, stupid, tired, or out of control. In fact, I feel more energy when I take Percocet, and I am able to not only make it to the gym but get a much more effective workout. As a 36 year old with very low level high blood pressure concerns, family history of heart problems, family obesity history, a history of being over weight myself, and adult ADHD, I have no choice but to workout! Percocet allows me to do so, while working and living a normal life. Thank you Percocet."


"I have had Nexplanon since May of 2014 it is now August of 2014 and I have been bleeding every since. I have gained 20 pounds since then and I also have acne now. I'm getting this thing taken out as soon as possible. I wish this was the birth control method for me but it's not. I like the idea of not having to take a pill every single day but after this, I'm willing a and ready to go back to the pill. Good luck if you decide to take this method."


"I took Yaz for 6 months with good results, but not complete relief of my PMDD. Due to an insurance goof up I was unable to get my medication for 2 months (it is more than I can afford out of pocket). During those 2 months I realized how much it had been helping me. My periods were much lighter and the bloating and tenderness were much worse when I was off of them. I'm am back on Yaz now and my doctor has combined it with Zoloft so hopefully I will be back to "normal" soon."


"I looked through all the information on MucinexD but didn't find anything about diarrhea as a side effect. I had severe diarrhea after taking the first two tablets. The next day I took 1 tablet and had diarrhea. So, I don't think I'll take any more."


"I've been on this same pill for about 5 years now and I would recommend it to every girl I knew if I could. At first I thought it was a little strange that I didn't get my period but I talked to my doctor and she assured me that not getting a period was normal as long as I took my pills correctly. Not having a period is fantastic and one less thing to worry about every month in my opinion. Every once in a while I'll experience some light cramps right before I finish a pack (around the time I should have my period), but other than that I love this pill! I also have not experienced any weight gain or headaches! :-)"


"I have been taking Micronor for almost a month now. I used to take Yaz for 2 years but had to stop due to migraines. I've honestly had 0 problems with Micronor, much to my surprise after reading so many negative reviews. I do not have spotting, weight gain, etc. It doesn't help my acne, but I don't think it's making it worse. I think people may be having issues with spotting and heavy bleeding because they are not taking the pill at the exact same time every day. I take it at exactly 6 and have had no problems!"


"Made me very emotional and anxious, I felt like I was going crazy. It also made my periods irregular and gave me awful cramps. Only took for 4 months and it caused me to have 3 very painful ovarian cysts. Was not the right birth control for me!"


"I've really liked my time on Trinessa. It's done everything my doctor told me it would do. My periods went from 5 days to 4, and I no longer get the debilitating cramps and body aches I used to have for three days every month. You can keep weight gain under control if you exercise when you're taking it since a lot of it is water weight. Might I also say it has done it's job as a contraceptive as well, so I'm quite happy with it."


"Omg, please don't use this, go to the doctor. I inserted the ovule last night before bed and applied the cream, the cream was causing me to itch a lot more than I had been without meds, I called my doctor today and received some oral medication and 7 night cream. I took the oral right away , however my vagina is burning from the stupid ovule. I feel a little relief but I just want this to be over and done with. Worse medication ever"


"I got the implant on 7/10/2014 and have not had any bleeding since it was inserted. Moods have changed where I will be fine then feel like crying but other than that I have been 100%. I also have lost weight instead of gaining despite the constant sweet craving. I would recommend this as it has been a major benefit to me. I'm 19 and currently undergoing A2 exams and this has meant that I don't have to worry about cramps or periods throughout the exam time."


"•  Comprehension: Before:  If you wanted me to pay attention, understand something, or even acknowledge it, you would often have to repeat it several times.  I would misread or misunderstand things more than the average person.

 After:  I understand most communication right away, including the emotions and attitude of the other person, which were often not even on my radar before.

 •  Interpersonal Communication: Before:  I was very likely to interrupt others.  I wouldn't wait for others to speak before continuing my conversation.  I came across as very harsh & critical. After:  I'm better at engaging in appropriate give-and-take in conversation.  I communicate in a much appropriate friendly tone.

Dealing with adversity:

Before: Even trivial matters would provoke a negative reaction, ruin my mood or trigger impulsive/disruptive behavior. I’d get down on myself for minor mistakes

After: Even when things don’t go the way I like them to go, I handle things in a much more mature, measured way. When something goes wrong, I’m more likely to laugh it off than I used to. I’m more even keeled, less likely to fly off the handle."


"This pill is AWFUL. It made me sad, anxious (never had this problem before), and my skin worse than ever. I feel like my entire personality changed. I quit taking it and am already starting to feel better. Everybody is different, but I suggest looking into others, especially if you already have anxiety to some degree."


"I suffer from major depression and was placed on Cymbalta 6 yrs ago. I took myself off against my doctor's advice. Life became hopeless and all I though about was wanting to die. Now I've been back on it for 18 days and I'm on top of the world. The future looks bright and I'm certainly enjoying the present!"


"This is a wonderful medicine. Costly, but great. However, I have found that it is best to take it an hour before eating or if need be an hour AFTER eating. This medication changed my quality of life. Future downfall....if I decide to have kids. Then what? Consider this if you are thinking about having kids."


"I have pain in my legs and when I take the medicine it help enormously.  I have had this problem until I started doing kickboxing."


"I've tried so many products to get rid of the acne on my face and nothing worked. I even tried home remedies and everything. Then, my doctor prescribed me with Epiduo and just 2 days after using it I started to see a difference. It's amazing, it got rid of the acne I had and ever since I got it I don't get pimples anymore. It does however tend to dry out my skin but not severely, nothing a little moisturizer can't fix. Overall Epiduo is amazing and I wouldn't use anything else for my acne."


"I have a badly herniated L5-S1 disc. While Vicodin is a very effective and safe medicine, there is just too much stigma and psychological dependence. I've been looking for a medication that's as good and found it. I really think Ultracet/Tramadol delivers as good of analgesia as Vicodin but without the stigma and abuse potential.  I started on Ultram ER 200 and had some side effects, namely bad headaches, drowsiness, and "crashing" in the evening.  My doctor switched me to the Ultracet 37.5/325 and it's great.  The acetaminophen eliminates the headaches and the drowsiness and crashing are eliminated because I can take my 3rd or 4th dose around 6pm and it carries me to bedtime. I also take Gabapentin 300mg at bedtime."


"I drank this medication for three days but instead of getting better I got worse day by day.i started experiencing diseases I have never had in my life. This is the worst medication ever,i wouldnt recommend it to anyone."


"I was starting to go into Migraine Transformation (getting migraine pain almost every day). Starting this medicine shot this down really quick. Now I'm getting about one a week. I'll be increasing the dosage soon (right now I take 300 mg a day). If you get chronic migraines, this may be your answer. I think it's mine."


"I'm a 43 year old female and was taken this for headaches due to post concussion syndrome from a car accident 4 months ago. I only took this meloxican for 4 days. So many side effects. Then I noticed yesterday all my body hair was gone. Not waiting for my hair on my head to start falling out! I also had rashes, skin tingling, bloating, not being able to empty my bladder and many more. Whatever benefit I got is not worth it. I read in some of the other posts of people losing there hair and they have stayed on it! Why? Losing hair is under rare side effects. Doesn't look like from all the posts! I'm going to go with what I wanted in the first place, CBD oil."


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


"Nortriplene isn't a very good medication for chronic headaches. My neurologist put me on 25mg 2 tabs at bedtime.it's suppose to make you sleeply,however it's quit the opposite, it keeps you awake and makes you very irritable.and you still have a headache,and causes weight gain.

medication,especially"


"I had symptoms for 2 days. I picked up the 1 over the 7-day because I liked how you insert the medicine INTO the infected area. I read these reviews after I had purchase and hesitated. I took a shower before bed, inserted ovule and braced myself... I watched TV for about an hour in bed before falling asleep just fine.

I woke in the morning -zero 'pain' just the discomfort from the YI I had already been feeling before. During the day the swelling and burning did increase but nothing unbearable. That night I took a shower and peed before going to bed and about 80% of it plopped out in the toilet. By morning the swelling went down and I felt amazing! Such relief!! more days later and now and it's even better. Worked great for me."


"Amazing! Was nervous for an interview, took 40mg about 2 hours before, was a breeze! No stammering, nerves, came across confident, recommended"


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


"I have been on Aromasin for 2 years now. Prior I took tamoxifen. Sure, there are side effects, (pain in my leg,  painful joints, and hot flashes) but I had stage 3 ca and am still alive 4.5 years."


"Took Next Choice one dose because it was covered by my  insurance. Had unprotected sex on Saturday. Took the pill on Monday. Side effects were headache and tiredness. It delayed my period by 4 days first by spotting. At least I know I'm not pregnant."
