"Been taking sertraline for a 3 1/2 weeks and I would have to say it was my best decision. It took me a while to say I was depressed and when I did my Dr. Started with 50 mg and I couldn't feel better. I would definitely recommend. Stop all bad thoughts, made me calmer, and able to deal with life outside of my bed."


"I have a bad disk which is causing a pinched nerve. I have a script for 10mg 3x a day, and it takes a couple hours to really kick in, but it does kick in eventually. On the flip side though, by the end of the day and after taking my prescribed amount, I felt very tired..... Then I woke up in the middle of the night to use the restroom and my arms, legs and brain felt like I got zombified.... And the worst cotton mouth ever. All in all, it did what it was prescribed to do...."


"Started Victoza about 3 weeks ago. Have never felt better in my life, blood sugars are around 113 in mornings, Energy level is way up. Weight loss is coming off slow, only down 4 pounds, but I am looking forward to losing more. Today started on 1.8....Before starting Victoza I always felt tired and sluggish but not anymore."


"After a bad car accident I've been prescribed several medications all of which had side effects that made them not possible to function with. Zanaflex is great, it starts working in about an hour after ingestion, it does make me sleepy so I take it one hour before bed and have a wonderful sleep. I wake up with out any grogginess the next morning.  The only reason I didn't rate it a 10 is that if I took it during the day I would be drowsy."


"My overall experience with the Depo-Provera injection has been good. I had been on it for about 1 year, and had next to no side effects what so ever! All it took was a short 15 minute nurse visit every 3 months. If you are not nervous around needles and would like a birth control that you really don't have to think about - I would highly recommend this method. Today I did decide to discontinue my own use of it however - instead of the common "lack of menstrual cycle" effect most people encounter, for me starting around my 2nd shot, I would have a non-stop period (light mind you, but still frustrating!). I still would highly recommend it though, as I believe this effect was just my bodies way of reacting to the hormones."


"It works without side effects."


"It's day 4 for me on naltrexone. First day I took 25mg and it made me a little sedated. Went to dinner, couldn't finish my wine, had a glass later knowing cold turkey is a bad idea. I was 1 to 1.5 bottle of wine drinker daily. Next night took a 12.5mg, had maybe 6 oz wine, next night 2 corona lights, and next night one beer. No cravings at all, no shaking. I had some irritability but I think that's to be expected. This drug has made is easy to wean off alcohol. Alcoholism killed my father and ruined my marriage. Both of us drank. No bueno. I am very vocal with family about my desire to quit. I tried a few times before and naltrexone is a godsend. Good luck all!"


"I cant for the life of me control my emotions and frustration everything makes me so irritated and upset I want to cry scream and fucking punch shit and im not even like this I snap over stupid shit and i can explain that I don't even want to upset but I just fucking can't control it i have so little energy and generally feel like crap especially when I'm acting like a crappie human being it's only been a few weeks and I wish it would ware off already.  I don't know if it prevents child birth or whatever but I definitely don't want to have sex I don't even want to be touched im stressed the hell out as well"


"I've been taking Vyvanse for about a year now and it has been an interesting trip. At first I couldn't sleep for the life of me and would go days on only a couple hours of sleep that I could get. Then after a couple months I was able to sleep almost like I used to and I noticed that I was more mentally alert and energetic but, my appetite dramatically diminished to almost nothing and still felt like my body wasn't getting enough rest. On top of that, when I would skip a dose I would have EXTREME hunger where I couldn't eat enough and I would have terrible fatigue! After a year everything evened out and began to feel normal other than having no appetite, but I have a healthy food schedule so I don't forget to eat. I would also like to say that I think it should NOT be recommended for children!"


"I am 38, nearly 39, 5 foot nothing. When I started my weight loss journey I was 179lbs.  I started with just 105 mcg phentermine in January 2013 and had lost 20 lbs when it plateaued in march. That's when the doc put me on this. It's been ten days since I began the regimen and I have dropped another 8lbs.  The first 5 days carried awful side effects to be honest, I wasn't sure I'd be able to continue using it. My nose and mouth tingled, I was edgy, beside myself. Couldn't keep my head straight and I couldn't sleep. But for the most part, all that has worn off. I do have a bit of trouble getting to sleep but nothing I can't deal with. I have no appetite at all, in fact I have to put a reminder in my phone to eat."


"I've currently been taking citalapram for a few months now. I started on 20mg and I'm now on 30mg. I suffer with extreme anxiety and panic disorder where it affected my daily routine life and nearly had to give up college due to this. Overall, citalapram has helped me see a little light in life. It's helped with my panic attacks also my anxiety attacks. Therefore, it has gained me a little tiny bit of weight, nothing major but I rather be on something that helps me than be off something just because it causes myself weight gain. I also suffer with Tourette's, where it's more vocal tics than anything but being on citalapram has given me tics (body wise) were I feel I have to shake myself more when nervous. Apart from that it has been brill!"


"I took Adipex for 1 year and lost 90lbs. I changed my eating habits and starting doing light exercise 3 days a week. I've been off Adipex for 3 months and haven't gained any weight back. Just stick with a healthy eating plan and you will not gain. Medications should be used as a tool if you don't change your eating habits then you can gain all the weight back. *sidenote...please stop writing reviews when you haven't taken the medication or just started the medication. The purpose of a review is to give your opinion on a product after using it for some time. Announcing that your doctor has prescribed Adipex isn't a review and it isn't helpful for people who are looking for reviews on this website..rant over.."


"I personally hate it ! I got it in 05/27/15 and I will be getting it taken out 06/26/15 . I've been bleeding the whole time, in which my Dr never informed me this would happen ."


"Amazing stuff!! I was constipated for over two weeks hardly getting anything out and in constant pain still having to go to work. Tried everything senna, miralax, ducolace and a few enemas. Got a bottle of mag citrate drank it all at once with water 4 or 5 hours later it was the scene from dumb n dumber when loyd got Harry with the turbo lax lol. P.s. I'm 6ft4 210 lb man so one bottle should be plenty for most"


"I just got this inserted yesterday, and wow after reading a lot of these reviews I almost didn't go to my appointment. It was not bad at all. I never get cramps during my periods so I didn't know what I was expecting. I also got my finger pricked and to me that hurt more than the insertion! During the procedure I just felt pressure on my stomach and it felt like I was about to go to the bathroom. After everything was done they gave me a panty liner just in case I bled. I went home and just had a small stomach ache. I have had no spotting whatsoever. I worked out perfectly today and walked my puppy out yesterday :) I'm honestly so surprised that I have no pain or no side effects yet. I'll keep updating!"


"just got diagnosed with add and im 19yrs old the doc prescribe me 36mg concerta and this my second day taking the pill and i still feel the same"


"I received Mirena at 8 weeks post, October 2011.  I just had it removed a week ago. I was not bleeding when I had it in because I was nursing, I knew that I WOULD have some spotting with the Mirena for a few weeks, not a big deal.  Well, I went to the doctor 6 months post insertion, my doctor had quit the practice so I had to see a different one, expressed my concerns about still spotting, I was spotting about 25 days a month, and she wouldn't take it out, said it should stop.  IT WAS HORRIBLE! I spotted the entire time, I had absolutely NO libido, my poor husband.  I went back to my regular doctor and he removed it last week, and I FEEL GREAT! And my sex drive is back fast and furious!!"


"This medication has really helped me with my depression."


"I opted to start depo after giving birth to my first born. Prior to taking it, I was having problems with anxiety and infrequent panic attacks following his birth; as, I assume, many new mothers do. Following the injection was one of the worst bouts of depression I have ever experienced in my life. I went to several psychiatrists as well as my gp, seeking treatment. Because I am breastfeeding there was not but so many medicines they could try. Celexa made me hallucinate, and a week or so into Zoloft I experienced a panic attack that I couldn't calm down from. I began smoking again to cope. We're a low income family, and I couldn't afford to keep going to the doctor. I eventually gave up. The injection wore off, and the depression did too."


"I remember taking this a few years ago for my YI and it wasn't so bad. But my YI came back so I took the one day yesterday morning but tonight it just feels like hell... It's 6 am and I've been sitting in the restroom for the past three hours. The iching is horrible, I feel like I need to pee every other second and when I squeeze a few drops of piss out, it burnssssss

It's comforting reading the reviews knowing that it's not only me. I just wonder how long this pain will last for...."


"Insertion was slightly uncomfortable, but nothing unbearable. I bled intermittently for the first week and I was an emotional mess.. I almost ended my relationship. These symptoms subsided after seven days and I did not get my period again. I did not experience any decline in sex drive, however my appetite went through the roof! I was constantly hungry and thinking about food. I put on 5kg (11 pounds) in four months, which really affected me. I had the Implanon removed one month ago, and instantly switched over to Nuvaring. Within 48 hours my appetite had returned to normal and I lost 1kg in two weeks without effort. As the Implanon is cheap, effective and simple I'd recommend giving it a go, but beware that it may cause significant side effects."


"This made me so sick I had 10 of the side effects it didn't help at all worse meds ever. I taper off myself meds where worse then withdrawal."


"I have been on and off different SSRI's and none of them have helped e.g. slept my life away, foggy mind, couldn't concentrate, no feelings, constant ringing in my ears, low libido. I started on Wellbutrin XL 150mg for 1 month and my doc upped my dose to 300mg. My experience has been super wonderful, from sleeping too much I am now going to bed later at night and getting up earlier & feel refreshed. I cry when I need to which to me is a good release. I am always busy. I have redone my whole home & garden, I go out more (use to be a total recluse). I sit & have my coffee out on the patio & watch the bird life and find so much joy in every day life. I have found an inner peace with Wellbutrin XL that I have never felt before. Big thumbs up :)"


"I have taken Carbamazepine for 36 years and have experienced no significant side effects.  I take 400mg per day and have gained almost total control of my condition.  No seizures since 1983.  Do not cease taking Carbamazapine suddenly for any reason whatsoever.  The withdrawal can be extreme.  The ER medication is very useful."


"mild-moderate anxiolytic effect but Long lasting. Definite calming effect and sense of tranquility. I weened off of 5mg of Xanax with this wonderful drug and had virtually no withdrawal. Makes me feel level headed and at peace when I start to stress"


"Let me start off by saying, yes, the bad reviews scared me at first, too. So much in fact, that I feared to even use this birth control pill. I have been using this method for 3 months now, and in all honesty, its worked fine.

Granted of course, the first week or two will be a bit rough for just about anyone. You're adding something new to your body, so you probably will feel sick, sleepy, headaches, my biggest problem was anxiety at first.

But once your body has adjusted to the pills, it really has no consequences. Just make sure you read all the information, take it the same time every day, and give it a try! I understand everyone is different, but it doesn't hurt to try! It's worked fine, and has done its job great."


"As far as effectiveness I went through 3 years no babies! Lots of spotting, sometimes long periods maybe 10 days, no mood swings, no depression! Nothing much really! A few breakouts every now and then but mine expired and because my husband and I agreed we just got a new one in!... VERY EFFECTIVE AND I LOVE IT. MY COUSIN ALSO HAS IT AND SHE LOVES IT MORE THAN I DO because she has NO side effects at all."


"My GP had me on another drug for 4 years and was feeling great. An annual colonoscopy showed nothing so the "Great Gastro" took me off everything and about a month later everything blew up. Went back to a Nurse Practitioner who apologized and put me on Lialda and Canasa.1 week later, great again. Ins Co after 6 months decided not to pay for Lialda so I was put on another couple worked for a couple months then blow up again.NP called Ins Co and got them to approve Lialda, Canasa again and 2 months in all ok except after eating still bloating and gas. We explored my eating habits ans she (NP) took me off gluten and gas and bloating stopped.Joints stopped aching. Try it! Can even touch my toes!!! Best NP around at OSU Gasto Clinic in Co"


"Doctor gave me these for headaches that come and go due to a continuous ringing in my ear. They work great only side effect I had was they made me sleepy. Have recommended to my sister who suffers from major headaches."


"I have been a functioning Alcoholic for close to 20 years, I have been to hell and back more than once. I have tried so many different ways to stop but the prospect of losing my wife and 3 kids again and forever meant I had to do something. After presenting at hospital I was then in an open ward for my depression as alcoholism tend to go hand in hand with depression. One of the tablets given was Antabuse this not only gives me a mental hand with drinking due to the reaction but it gives my wife a safety net I will not stop taking it. I have been sober just over 7 weeks soon I will beat the 8 weeks I have only ever been sober for in the last 18 years."


"I'm 58. I have had issues with my erection for about 5 years now and rarely have sex.

Took 50mg Viagra. All I can say is FABULOUS! Took about an hour to kick in but then lovely firm erections for a number of hours. Managed a number of ejaculations which was another bonus.

Side effects were dizzy spell, very mild headache.

"


"I was taking Xanax to calm the muscle spasms and Tylenol 3 for severe pain. This combination worked but I was terrified of addiction. Now taking 75mg Lyrica 3x a day. Pain almost gone after two days, but I'm dizzy, falling down, sleeping in a stupor 18 hours a day, weight gain 7 lbs a month for 5 straight months, can't remember vocabulary, feel dumb down."


"Have had anxiety all my life!-40 years. During one very long 3 week period of being in what my psychologist called a "panic state," I absolutely had to ask my doctor for something that would help me begin to function again. I don't prefer to medicate unless it is absolutely necessary, and while taking this is not exactly something that I wanted my situation to come to, I eventually decided that if I did not opt for some type of pharmaceutical intervention, I might have had a stroke from the insane physical stress, which was bringing me to the brink of insanity. ONE pill before bed one evening did the trick for me. It was like hitting the reset button, and I woke up rested, calm, and totally fine again. Haven't needed another pill yet."


"I've been on claravis 60mg a day (30 mg twice daily) for almost 3 months now. I've seen some great improvement but I really expected to be completely clear by now. However I just read that you're supposed to take this pill with food and I haven't been doing that. Symptoms are horrible. Worst muscle aches I've ever had in my life and my lips are so dry putting on Carmex every 10 seconds still barely helps. I used to have beautiful long shiny hair and now my hair is extremely stringy and brittle and I can only wash it once a week. I always feel sick and dehydrated and no amount of water I drink helps. Also my skin is a really weird texture. Headaches so bad sometimes I can't even see straight. Im trying so hard to stick it out but well see"


"Its a really great medicine for migraines i been having them for over a year daily have tried several different medicines sum worked but the side effects was horrible tried naratriptan the first day migraine free for 2 days  and every other time migraine free for a day. great medicine ill most definitely say its worth a try for bad migraines."


"Take it on an empty stomach, or it won't work. I have terrible insomnia and have been on it long-term. It still works after 15 years. It had some initial side effects, but they went away after a few months. It works very well, but I gave it eight stars only because you have to take on an empty stomach. If I eat a late dinner, I can count on it not working. Otherwise, it's the only medication that has helped me sleep. I take 15-20 mg per night."


"My Dr told me I could swim with the patch on.  But it tends to come off before the 7 days are up.  Also I ruined 1 patch, I couldn't get the backing off.   But has already helped with my hot flashes!"


"Cymbalta was a wonderful mood elevator and controlled my swings especially well at first, but the emotional blunting and sexual disinterest and malfunction were devastating to my relationship with my mate. After several months of taking Cymbalta, it quit working so well, and when my dose was increased, the emotion blunting and other side effects turned me into a walking, talking, zombie."


"This is the perfect medicine to help get over UTI symptoms.

Now remember, this medication is only a pain reliever. If you have any of the symptoms that Uricalm relieves, go see a doctor!!
If you have an infection you MUST to take antibiotics or it will only get worse and enter your kidneys...(which can be way way way more painful than a bladder infection) Uricalm does not treat underlying problems.
But, is a life saver in the healing process!!!!
I immediately lost the urgency of having to urinate, I was able to urinate and feel like I had emptied my bladder completely, and the burning sensation was gone.
I Highly recommend it if your struggling with harsh symptoms."


"I have been on this for 4 months and have lost 18 lbs.  I think I have stalled because I am not sleeping due to taking it too late.  I also only had about 40 lbs to lose so I'm thinking it may be slower compared to people who want to lose more.  My biggest concern is absolutely no one can tell that I have lost anything at all!! This makes me think that I've lost all muscle and no fat.  How could 18 lbs not show?  I haven't worked out but am going to start to this upcoming week.  Has anyone else had this problem?"


"I'm a 41 year old woman who went into early menopause two years ago.  Vaginal dryness and all the other wonderful symptoms of menopause are not something that I would like to deal with at my age, but somethings we can't control, so my doctor prescribed Estrace and I use 1mg 2x a week.    I was told that it would take about 6-8 weeks before seeing a difference. At the end of that time frame, I saw only a slight difference in vaginal dryness but many side effects. I had headaches, dizziness, bloating and calf pain."


"For me, these are wonderful - IF I don't have to drive anywhere, or work. I've been on every other cough suppression & this definitely works the best for coughing fits! They also give me a "sedated" feeling, but not to the point where I need to go to sleep."


"I was put on Zyprexa after my dad got murdered.  It worked ok for that medicated Zombie feel. I took up to 20mg day. Gained so much weight that I wore a waist size 40 pants.  Had to stop after 6 years.  Doc told me to taper off it in 2 weeks!  NO BUENO!!!  Should have tapered off in a year+. Been in bed for 8+months with horrific post withdrawal symptoms. Never had heart problems before Zyprexa! Now I have afib and sinus tachycardia, and TD, involuntary muscle spasms are so painful! People notice when I stick my tongue out, biting it hours a day, sexy. Its killing me slowly as Eli Lilly makes $12Mil a day killing! I use Melatonin for sleep, is Z even approved for sleep? RESEARCH LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT, CUZ IT DOES!!"


"Second time trying Chantix. First time help me stop smoking for six months but made me crazy. This time doc recommended taking half dose so far four weeks all good."


"So I was a lil weary when I was prescribed this. I had tried a bunch of other "Clinical Strength" products and nothing really worked. But I gave it a go anyway. I have to say I'm amazed. The first night I used too much and it burned, but the next day I had not a drop of sweat under my arm. Nothing....dry as a bone. I am so glad, this medicine is like a miracle to me."


"Okay so I started taking Paxil a few months ago for anxiety, only 10mg. For the first little bit it was weird, my body felt different and I couldn't eat much, my bowel movements became very irregular. I felt like it was maybe working. I became very tired (I've always been a late sleeper) but it was hard to get out of bed, my thoughts were constantly negative, especially when I would be alone or driving alone. I had a constant headache i didn't want to do anything. I worked out a little bit in the duration but not much. I Couldn't decide whether I should stop or take more and I stopped. It's been about 2 weeks now and I'm starting to feel better and more positive, but still anxious"


"At the age of 29 I began using Ortho Try-Cylen Lo. I was a bit emotional for the first two months and then this went away. My cramps are very light, and I only have mood swings for a few hours at the begining of that week. My periods are lighter, and on schedule. The only continuous side effect is breast tenderness. It can be really frustrating. "


"As prescribed, I took 1/2 pill (100mg) of Stendra after a night of adult beverages, good food, and dancing.
Less than 30 min later, with her prompting, I was harder than ever and lasted 2 hrs. We're very happy.
No negative side effects.
NOW, here's the good part.............
4 hours later, without taking any more Stendra, it was still working
4 hours after that, same thing. Poor wife was lethargic for the next 24 hrs.
Thank you Stendra
ps- had tried Cialis and Viagra in the past with poor AND negative results."


"I'm 17, and I've been on Celexa for roughly 2 months now, and its fantastic! I went from a depressed/suicidal teen to a happy outgoing person. I have my life back, I've never felt this good in a long time. I have struggled most of my teen years with depression, eating disorder and severe OCD, and now I am free to live my own life. My obsessions and compulsions have gone away, and I am far from depressed, I feel more normal then I have ever been. It took about 4 weeks to finally start working, I started at 10mg and now I'm at 20mg, works great and no side effects besides slight headaches occasionally and crazy vivid dreams."


"Hi all
Have been on 300 mg pregabalin for Neuropathy and Brain Zaps, for 12 months , not to bad at first on a very low dose of 50 mg but still having brain Zaps went up to 300 mg a Day in in stages then 6 months ago started getting bad Tinnitus then Loud Drumming in the middle of my Head constant ,in short sent to Ear Specialist and given pain killers
 told I have lost low tones in left ear  problem with Pregabalin  permanent  loss.
As the side affects were now getting worse than any benefits I decided that I should stop this Drug which I did over 3 months, now off but no sleep ,sweats , headaches, pain worse than before.
My advise is stay off look for alternative coming off is worse than starting .
2 stars given for start of treatment,"


"I was having sex with my boyfriend and somewhere in the mist of it all out condom broke . We started to freak and regret all our life decisions. I took the pill about an hour and a half later and began to immediately feel tired afterwards . It lasted for about two days along with bad mood swings , frequent head aches ..nothing to bad..and a few cramps here and there . despite all the side affects, waiting is definitely the worst part. When I didn't get my period on the day I was supposed to I began to panic . I even went out and bought pregnancy test that came back negative . Sure enough today , my period came, 3 days late . I have never been so happy to see blood in my entire life . This pill is a life saver !!"


"Have been taking Percocet 'as needed' for several years, due to neck and shoulder pain from car accident. It does relieve the pain for sure, but I am very cautious about becoming addicted. For me, Percocet gives me a burst of energy, and also a feeling of euphoria. I never take it after 4pm, since it keeps me awake at night."


"I was nauseous after taking it on my second week so I discontinued it. Breast was so sore."


"I have struggled with anxiety for years, and I've improved Obsessive Compulsive Ddisorder in a way that would increase my quality of life. I've been taking 50 to 250 milligrams Zoloft for the course of almost 7 years, and I've been getting 5 to 8 hours of sleep everyday. I was getting from C's and D's in school, to mostly A's and B's, and my memory was becoming crystal clear.

When I've decided to go down to 25mg, I've began to experience more anxiety, more depression, more insomnia, more OCD-like symptoms. Even if I had a good day under 25mg of Zoloft, I wasn't confident about myself and didn't like the person that I was becoming. I'm telling you, this medication does work to treat your anxiety, it's just it takes time to work."


"I just began Chantix and really want to quit; after one day of taking the medicine I have a severe allergic reaction, rash in the buttocks region. I have also felt sickly, lethargic and have strange visions. I have several friends who have taken the product with no side effects whatsoever, so I believe it is a case by case basis. Immediately, it curbed my cravings and cigarettes tasted horrible. However, I must be too sensitive to the drug so I will look to going cold turkey or reduce the dosage."


"Changes my life for the better!"


"I've had this thing in my arm for about a week now and it has been hell, I'm nauseous and have a headache ALL THE TIME. I don't feel myself, and I feel confused all the time.  I can't eat without feeling like I'm going to throw it all up. I want this out of my arm asap!!!!"


"Didn't work very well and made my throat very dry."


"I thought this was the best one yet. However, I experienced EXTREME nausea which worsened with an increase from 50mg to 100mg. I am going through a wash out period now and not sure what my physician will start me on now.
Besides having the Nausea, I also had Gastrointestinal symptoms of abdominal cramping, diarrhea, and flatulence (gas). The medication was working for me, but the side effects made me miss work, not do my school work and affected my social life. I have been off of it for 5 days now and feeling NO nausea and much much better. Glad that it works for some of you!"


"I was prescribed this medicine for my morning sickness. I haven't been able to get out of bed since I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. This medicine does help me to not feel nauseous, but the side effects are terrible. I feel as if I've been given a heavy sedative. I started with the prescribed does of two pills at bedtime. When I woke up the following day I could barely lift my head off the pillow and was in and out of strange drug enduced sleep all day. I tried taking the medication again but only taking one pill. The effects were the same and I felt like I was on heavy drugs. Tried for a 3rd time but only a half pill. Same outcome. Can't get out of bed, foggy and in and out of sleep."


"I take 30mg when needed and it makes me calm. Don't mix with alcohol, effective medicine when used as prescribed."


"Horrible form of birth control. Convenient yes but bled continuously while I was on it. Gave me severe depression when I have never had any depression before. Gained weight steadily with no change in diet so depo is cause. After 3 doses and no improvement in side effects I stopped this nightmare."


"I've been pretty healthy most of my life, had twins natural, torn acl in knee, then after my twins I had my gall bladder out 21 years ago. I am 47 years old and very active. I tried diets here and there but when I had to get total hysterectomy a couple of years ago I just could not stop the weight coming on me. I was so up set at 200 lbs.  It was the final straw I went to my doctor and she put me on phinermen for 6 months I lost 20 lbs but hit a plateau. So she said I should lost more that that!? Well then she prescribed Belviq and I've been on it 2 weeks. I only took 1 a day to see how it made me feel then now on 2 a day like prescription. I loosing weight again. Not tons but I feel great. I recommend this to anyone who is need to get thin"


"I got Toradol IV for pain due to kidney stones and infection. It didn't help the pain very much, and it burned. After they took the IV out, I sprayed blood all over the ER. I bled from the injection site for many hours. Never again."


"Hello. I am 18 and I have diagnosed with Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) December of 2016. As we all thought, I had a concussion because I played volleyball but it didn't quite flow with the big blind spot in my left eye and the perfect MRI and MRE scan results. Well, as my opening pressure from an LP was 49.7, more than half for my age, and being the first patient for my pediatrician, I have Psuedo Tumor Cerebri. My new neurologists put me on 2,000mg a day. Yes, this caused severe abdominal and GI upset for almost the first month I was taking it and a little bit here and there. My ophthalmologist has seen an improvement. My second LP as of 1/30/17 had an opening pressure of 28.7. They drained me to normal and took 10cc of instead of 8. I hope it keeps working."


"Numerous side effects with requip including the worse of a constant post nasal drip that is debilitating my life. I am going homeopathic and have found cures . I am currently taking magnesium with srt, l-tyrosine, calcium and minerals, 5-htp.  About to add some changes in diet. Adding carrot juice, turmeric and others as recommended by the website. "


"I am 47 year old Australian male, and had my first Stelara 45mg injection 3 weeks ago. I can honestly say Stelara is definitely working for me. Although my lesions are still visible, the "angriness" has subsided and scaling almost gone. Most of my PS patches are starting to look like sun spots or birth marks. I think a holiday in the sun will fix that up!

It is slow progress, so I will be interested to see what happens following my booster injection next week. I just hope the improvement doesn't stop at where I am currently.

No adverse side effects for me at this stage, but as suggested by my nurse, I am much more proactive when it comes to avoiding infections, such as coughs, colds or flu and we are in our winter season. So far so good."


"Bought this not reading up on the reviews before hand and I'm glad I didn't because I didn't witness any of the terrible side effects. After about an hour I did begin to notice it was a little itchy but nothing Too distracting. I iced it a little which did help a lot. After about 3 hours and a little icing, I decided to put the itch cream on and I now Don't feel any pain and it's been over 5 hours. I'm completely content with this product and I most likely will use again when I get another YI but I will try at night this time incase it gets in the way of my day."


"I've been taking Adderall for roughly two years now,I could honestly say it helped me  SO much.Having A.D.D my whole life, it completely made my life out of control.I only realized how much of my issues were connected to having A.D.D until l i took my medication,i cannot even explain.Its insane

sometimes it even got me emotional thinking about it cause i would say to everyone around me "is this how people without ADD feel ?" and think wow i missed out on SO much.Luckily i could say everything has changed. Graduated highschool,found myself a job,totally different group of friends,even the way i interact and feel about myself TOTAL CHANGE. I would have gave it a 10/10 but my loss of appetite and could not sleep.sucks but pros over cons"


"I've been on this pill for about a month now. I've been bleeding since the first day I started it. I'm now up to my placebo pills which I'm just going to take. I'm hoping my body adjusts soon because the bleeding/spotting is quite aggravating. I've been moody, but I'm a generally moody person and would have to wait it out to say it's the pill doing it. My appetite has actually decreased, which is something I wasn't expecting at all. Other than the bleeding, no complaints on this pill this far."


"Works great as a substitute for Advil but just as worried about long-term effect."


"I started taking topamax a year ago and it helped with my visual migraines. I had the side affects such as; delayed speech, confusion, numbness, carbonated drinks are horrible tasting, dizziness, all the normal side affects... But they only lasted a few weeks. I'm at 100mg a day now, 50 in the morning and 50 at night. Now the side effects don't bother me at all. I haven't lost not one pound so I'm not sure what the weight loss is about. I actually gained 10! Overall its doing its purpose."


"I have suffered from anxiety & depression (with a side of bipolar disorder) since I was a teenager. I've tried so many different medications over the years! I now feel like my doctors and I have found the right mix for what my body needs. I suffer from severe degenerative arthritis as well as a few other medical concerns that placed me on Tramadol & Flexeril to try to manage my pain. When I asked for an anxiety medication back (they took me off 7 months ago), she prescribed Buspirone 7.5 BID PRN. It's only been 3 days, but let me tell you, I have noticed a SIGNIFICANT difference in my thought processes, my nerves, and my sleep. ALL of them have had positive effects. I've only experienced drowsiness in the mornings."


"I started Champix in November 2015 I have been smoking for 20 years! Stopped on day 14 and have had hardly any cravings at all. Side effects were intense to start but worth it, nauseous, tiredness and the odd crazy dream. I am now on week 6 and thinking of lowering my dose. Can't believe how easy it was to stop with this medication! Only thing I am concerned about right now is my weight loss, I have lost over 1.5 stone since starting Champix, it may or may not be connected to the Champix."


"After taking alendronate for 1 year my pelvis fractured suddenly. I was not doing any strenuous activity. Everyone insisted that I must have done something to cause this. The orthopedic surgeon who saw me in the hospital told me it was the alendronate medication and told me not to take it anymore."


"Helps with stiff and hurting muscles due to ms"


"I don't understand why there are so many high (8-10) ratings for this drug.

After reading so many who experienced negative effects, yet they gave a high rating.

My first night taking my 1mg. prescription, I woke up thirsty and spilled water all over myself. Not a big deal. A while later, I rolled out of bed onto a bedside table and bruised myself badly. I had never before fallen out of bed. After the first night, I slept well and continued using it with no noticeable side effects.

After using up my 3 months prescription, I was told that I needed to go to my doctor's office for paper prescription. I'm 68 years old, disabled and live 16 miles from my doctor's office.

I am now suffering with horrible withdrawal symptoms!"


"I had high hopes when starting this pill, I had read some good reviews on its website and my doctor thought it would work perfect for me. The first month on it was okay but I slowly started to become a different person, I had feelings of depression most of the time I was very pessimistic and had constant mood swings. This pill also made me very analytical, I looked into every little thing and made it seem negative. After 6 months on this I can not stand it anymore and am getting off. I am a completely different person and I haven't been cheerful in months."


"Made me so nauseous"


"I have been taking 150 mg of the generic of Wellbutrin for the past month. I can't believe how amazing I feel! After dealing with depression for the past 4-5 years I finally feel like myself again. I was diagnosed with PMDD and mild depression but tried to deal both of these with Prozac and hormone birth control. After three months of Prozac I quit. It made me tired and took away my libido. It didn't help my depression at all. I've tried three different birth controls (I'm 46...it wasn't for birth control, just to try to help my hormone levels.) Nothing helped my depression. Finally my Dr. prescribed Wellbutin. I filled it but didn't take it for 8 months because I was afraid of the of the side effects. Now I could just kick myself!"


"The only thing that I have noticed is that I talk in my sleep, and I can hear myself talking but I can't remember what I've said."


"I started the inplanon in 2013 when my son turned one. I gained weight and had terrible break outs. That definitely not the worst. From the moment I got it until about three weeks after removal I had no period. So up until about six months ago I had irregular periods. They came two to three times a month. On top of constant yeast infections and discharge. I was checked for any STD's to be on the safe side. Considering I have been with one person for nearly two years I knew it would come out negative. It was just my hormones going crazy. Now I am almost two years off of it and still not ovulating or having regular periods. My significant other and I have been trying to conceive for a year now and it's caused us problems."


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


"Just want to comment on an early review from someone saying it didn't work. The person has a BMI lower than this product is intended for and doesn't sound to eat a lot of fat so this product is unlikely to work for them.
I have a high BMI and found that it helped my weight loss to be more consistent than dieting alone. I have changed my eating habits and haven't had any negative side effects. You need to put effort in and can't expect it to do all the work for you."


"When taking it after dinner meal I couldn't sleep through the night woke up every hour or two  - boo hoo. I started taking it in the morning after breakfast. Now I'm sleeping 6 hours solid at night and helping me more in the day to be calmer."


"The best medication I've taken thus far for anxiety. I'm on 60 mg/day split into two doses of 30. Non addicting, no sexual side effects, in fact this is amazingly free of any side effects that I have experienced. I have been on Klonopin in the past and overall I have to say that this has been the best for my anxiety and social phobia. The medical community is all too quick to disregard this medicine as ineffective. Its a safe medicine. You're not losing anything by at least giving it a trial. Its the only med that's worked well for me after trying countless SSRIs, and a few psych meds of other classes. Good luck."


"I have been using the Trulicity pen for 5 weeks now and can honestly say it is amazing. It is not a magic bullet or anything like that, but with my determination to eat properly, drink plenty of water, exercise and just simply "do it!"... things are steadily improving. Starting with an 8+ a1c, I am now in the 6 range! And I have lost about 8 pounds in the last 5 weeks. At the age of 67 I have made this the top priority.... time's awasting.... got grandchildren to see grow and develop!"


"I have had the Nexplanon for almost 1 year. It is great! I had an awful time with birth control pills and couldn't remember to take them. The numbing shot for the insertion hurt and I was sore and bruised for a few days. I did have spotting for a few months and some moodiness. After a about 4 or 5 months, it stopped and I have no periods! I certainly recommend it and will probably get it again when it's time to remove it. Like all medicine, it's not for everyone, but I like it the best of all birth control I've used."


"I suffer from serious anxiety which had been making it really hard for me to fall asleep, taking 2-4 hours to fall asleep and then when finally sleeping I'd always be waking up 4 times in the night and after two months of this, I was completely exhausted and went to talk to my doctor who prescribed me zolpidem. This medicine knocks you out right away but be careful - go straight to bed after taking it, because it kicks in fast and strong and the effect it has is kind of like being completely wasted and you'll end up doing silly things. If you go straight to bed, you get a good, deep 6-7 hours sleep, which feels amazing! It's so strong that my brother tried to wake me up once when I fell asleep on the couch and he couldn't! That NEVER happens!"


"So, one thing that really helps with the nausea is taking it after or while eating thick yogurt, like Greek yogurt. When I did that I didn't get nauseous."


"It works great but it is so expensive."


"Seemed effective in eradicating my flu symptoms quickly... but traded those for a brutal headache and dizziness. I stopped after three days, and two days after stopping dizziness only new wearing off. Tamiflu? No thanks."


"I wrote a review about this birth control pill 1 month in taking the pill. Things were great besides the 1 breakout that I can't necessarily put on  the pill.

But now 4 months in I'm having to go to my gynecologist back again because things worsened considerably. I break out like a teenager (I never had a pimple in my life and I have no idea what to do about it), I actually have cysts and they're sore to touch!!! I mean, it's ridiculous! I starting having dryness during sex (no so much now but I had to adjust my methods subsequently ;)  ), irregular periods, random spotting, can't plan anything cuz I don't know when my period will come...and my breasts are very tender to touch. I honestly hate it. It doesn't do anything for me :("


"I was initially prescribed tramadol for chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis about 8 years ago, SPECIFICALLY because the doc said it was non narcotic. It worked for me and all was good until I forgot to call in a refill one day and I had withdrawal symptoms worse than I have ever experienced from any stronger narcotic. I have been on the drug for the past 8 years and now that they've realized it's INCREDIBLY addictive and often abused, they've made it a schedule 4. Now it's difficult for me to get my prescription if my doctor is out of town, or if I take one or two more than I'm supposed to due to increased pain, and I run out a day or two early. I'm a former opiate abuser and SO angry that I was misled and am on this roller coaster again."


"After 3 years of success with Wellbutrin, it finally pooped out on me. Unfortunately, as a result of this, my energy levels dropped immediately to the point where I could barely get out of bed. I had blood work done, but nothing was found that would explain the fatigue, like vitamin deficiency or thyroid issues. No problems with sleep either.

So my dr prescribed 18 mg of concerta and it's been pretty close to a miracle. I can actually get up in the morning again. I feel like I did when I first started Wellbutrin.

One issue is that after ~2 months on 18mg, I can feel myself not responding to the drug as well as I did initially. Part of this might just be my imagination, but I know that this is common with stimulants."


"Very bad side effects; my Dr. recommended this pill because I wanted to avoid weight gain and have reliable birth control.  I took it for 9 days.

During that time,  I gained almost 10lbs; my normal weight is 120.  My chest is hugely swollen and very painful.  Stopped taking it and still waiting to get back to normal."


"Wow what a Positive experience,  I ate a soft diet two days before and an all liquid diet on the day before ( as directed ) My first drink at 4 p.m. went sown so easy, there was so little (5oz) it was nothing to get down. With-in 45 mins. I was off and running. No Cramping, No pain at all. at 10 p.m. I drank cup number two, began working right a way still no cramping or any other issues. it was off to bed and the next day off to the Doctor.  Very clean and great experience,,, well as great as this type procedure can be..."


"I've been on Lyrica now for two years for nerve damage to my legs caused by a back injury. It is a wonderful drug and has helped me alot. I sleep better at night and upon rising I can walk a lot better. This medication has improved my condition by at least 80%. I take 60mg 3 times a day. It does make me retain fluid but I take a fluid pill and that takes care of that. My life will never be the same since I had this accident with my back and legs but Lyrica makes life worth living again."


"I have found the gel to be extremely helpful (more so than the cream). It does take continuous use for me but it's worth the relief. I also use it on my ears for relief from flushing/burning sensation.  Having the Rosasacea under control has also helped tremendously with my dry skin."


"I finally decided to get help with my anxiety and depression after many years of battling it. My doc prescribed me this and I was excited, to think I was finally going to get my life back. I'm a 23 with 2 kids and a wonderful husband who now have to watch me cry in panic everyday. It has made it harder for me to work or be around people. Even after 3 weeks of being off the medication I still feel the effect of it. I feel worse, I'm constantly in panic and scared of something that I have no control over. I am now constantly thinking about death in hopes that there is an afterlife. Something I have coped with years ago but its back. This medicine didn't do any good for me it did the exact opposite. Please take caution when taking this."


"I had to cut the doses in half. I felt like a maniac and very anxious. I'm taking it a bedtime in combination with Gabapentin, I feel a lot better, but I don't really know, which one is responsible. I think both."


"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 was going to the bathroom all the time.  It was horrible, on vacation finding bathrooms everywhere we went.  After I started Vesicare I only go to bathroom 1 or 2 times all day long. I have had no side effects at all and feel great. I have been taking it for almost 1 year."


"Well I got this product at Walmart and wanted to try it for yeast infection. I have tried so many products and even called the doctor to prescribe me something for this problem, that did not even
work as much. So I dont like yogurt really and that is what the GYN doctor says to do but I tried
and its not for me. So I been taking partial half in the morning half at night because my body is
odd with medications. So far is it clearing little bit at a time and I see the difference. My teeth
are bad and my gums were red but now they are pink. I am a diabetic so I worry about taking
stuff over the counter. I have a few side effects but they subside but come back as I get used to
the medicine, but it amazing I see it improving."


"I've been on this birth control for about 6 months. At first I had rapid weight loss. But in the past few months I've retained several pounds of water weight. No issues with mood changes, or loss of sex drive. My period comes every Thursday of the week of the blue pills. It lasts till usually Saturday night. I've yet to get pregnant so besides these small side effects I would deffintly recommend this birth control. My skin has never been better, it's no longer oily,  and I only break out the week of my period."


"I have suffered with severe depression for at least 25 years. I wasn't willing to admit that I needed help...just kept trying to power through it. The past year has been a nightmare. I went to a family doctor and was prescribed Wellbutrin. Felt like I was on the verge of becoming psychotic within 1 week. I stopped taking the medicine and just gutted it out. Barely hanging on. Barely surviving. My wife convinced me to go to a psychiatrist and I was prescribed Pristiq. Following my first dose, my life has changed! I never knew how bad off I was until I started taking Pristiq. Before I was SUFFERING everyday of my life. I now feel hope. I now feel confident. I now want to do things with my family. I now have renewed interest in my job. Pristiq has changed my life. I can't believe it. I am so thankful that I have this medicine. I'm kicking myself for not getting help sooner."


"The first two weeks I did have heavy spotting and slight nausea, which went away before the first month was over. It cleared my face from acne, I didn't have much to begin with. And I gained no weight at all and no bloating. I honestly love this birth control I asked my doctor for a low hormone pill and this is what he subscribed. I'm very happy with it, I will not be switching any time soon. I plan on keeping it for sure!"


"After years of sinus infections my germs sneer at the usual antibiotics. Augmentin and Ceftin do nothing, in fact I got more sick everyday on Ceftin. Avelox has been the magic bullet for me and I really don't have any side effects. This doesn't mean someone out there won't be allergic to it, but I am not. Relief begins within hours of the first dose."


"I never write reviews but this medicine has worked so well for me.  I've been on it since January 2nd and have cut down smoking by more than 3/4.  Yesterday I only had 2-3 cigarettes and they weren't even completely smoked.  It's weird because you still think of having a smoke now and then but have little desire to actually go have one.  Each day gets better and you have less and less desire to actually smoke even if you think about it from time to time.   No side effects.  Would pay 10x more if I had too for this."


"Recently had a stent put in to widen urethra in order to have an operation on my kidney in a couple of weeks. Hospital prescribed me this advising it will relax the bladder and reduce the pain stent may cause. I followed the instructions and took 1 tablet in ten morning, usually around 8am. Didn't notice anything different until between 9pm-10pm when I was having uncontrollable spasms, keeling over in pain and felt like I was going through labour. The pains would last for a couple of hours or so. After a few days, I stopped taking the drug just to see what would happen. Behold, no labour pains. I cannot explain how painful it was when it occurred. Avoid this drug if you really don't need it, it's not worth it."


"I am on my 3rd month and have had breakthrough bleeding half of the time except the week my period is supposed to be. I was put on this because I am in my 40's and the doctor said I should reduce my pill strength.  I've been using birth control pills for my entire adult life except for maybe 5 years when I was trying to get pregnant.  This non-stop bleeding is affecting my mood, my attitude, my attention span.  Based on all of the comments, either this pill works well after the first month or doesn't.  My doctor keeps telling me that it will just take time but there has been no change for the last 2 months.  I don't know how to convince my doctor that this is not the pill for me."


"I have been reading these reviews using Meclizine for dizziness. I have been on it for about a year {25mg} but don't seem any results. The one thing that I is missing  is my problem . I have no problem walking, looking up or down or any of that. My problem is I can only lay on my left side, my back for a short time. but the right side is out, I become so dizzy I feel sick to my stomach even attempting to make me sick. As I said in the beginning the meclizine doesn't make a difference."


"This medicine helped me so much to relieve some of the pressure in my head and leveled the pressure in my eyes. I also have edema of the legs and it gets so bad that at times I retain over 20 lbs of water which slows me down terribly. The pills helped me greatly and kept me active. However my doctor decided to take me off them and put me on Topamax because though the pressures were down, the headaches and pain was still there. I have gained so much weight because I barely move at times and have not been as active as I once was. My legs and now my abdomen are filled with fluid. Wish I could get Diamox again!"


"I've been taking Tri-Sprintec for about 3 months now and I haven't had any real problems with it at all. Just some breast tenderness right before my period and cravings every now and then. I used to be on Loestrin 24 Fe and I had the worst side affects with it. I had severe mood swings and depression which lasted for the entire 4 months I was on it. After getting off Loestrin, I went on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and didn't have any problems with it, but switched to Tri-Sprintec because it's cheaper. I was afraid that I might have the same negative side effects with Tri-Sprintec that I had with Loestrin, but I haven't and that's just awesome to me! It's best to not judge a pill within the first week of taking it. It takes a few months to adjust."


"I have been on Topiramate for just over a year. I have suffered from migraines for more than 30 years and have been on Imatrix and Relpax before. Topiramate was awesome, at first. It reduced the frequency of migraines and kept things really under control. I lost approx. 20 lbs within 4 months of being on the drug (my normal weight is approx. 140 lbs) hadn't been down to 120lbs since high school so was feeling pretty good about myself. I did have some minor side affects like blurred vision and tingling in my hands that spread to my feet but this was worth not having migraines. More serious problems arose, however, after being on the drug 10-11 months when I developed kidney problems-stones and infections in both kidneys. Warning!"


"I bought the Monistat 1 last night and after using it, I read the reviews. Needless to say, I was freaking out and waiting for something to happen. Fortunately, there were no horrible side effects. I did have some itching but I knew that was the medicine going to work on the yeast infection but other than that, I was very happy with the product and I will use it again."


"Is an excellent medicine. I'm good because of it!"


"I've seen so many negative reviews of Mirena online that I just wanted to share my positive experience.

For the past 10 years of my life I have had horrifying periods. I have stage 4 endometriosis and a blood clotting disorder that would leave me in bed for days in excruciating pain every month. Since getting Mirena, my life has changed incredibly. I do have some of the side effects such as mood swings, slight memory loss and acne but my period now lasts one day and barely hurts. I have had it for 3 months and I will gladly deal with the side effects to continue benefiting from a life with significantly reduced pain.

It's not perfect, but after years of experimental treatments with no success, I can honestly say that this works."


"Anyone who takes this in order to take pain medication or if also taking any benzodiazepine, need to use caution since all of the three slow your heart rate and breathing down. Inexperienced users might fall asleep and pass away during fyi."


"I'm only new to this condition and the medication five weeks I have felt so sick with stomach pains but my doctor gave me gastritis tablets which have helped a lot not sure when the best time to take my medication is.  Could I make the itchy redness go away or does it matter????"


"I have been using Butrans for 2 months now. I have scoliosis, cervical and lumbar bulging discs. I do get relief from the patches but it doesn't take the pain completely away. I also am prescribed Vicodin for breakthrough pain episodes. My main complaint is HEADACHES! I have been having the worst headaches so I discontinued the patch for the past week and a half. I am going to resume it today. I will let you know if it's the patch or something else. I am hoping I can continue with the Butrans because it does give me relief."


"I was prescribed this for anxiety and depression. In total, I took it for 6 weeks before coming off cold turkey on doctor's orders due to side-effects. The first 2 weeks I just had mild nausea and headaches. By the second week I started feeling a deep tiredness. I would sleep for about 16 hours a day. The need to sleep so much faded by end of week 3 but the deep tiredness never went away. I also had swelling and red lumps form under my left eye around this time. Week 4 brought insomnia and week 5 brought the rash on my legs. By the end of week 6, I had 360 degrees rash on legs that burned and bleed with lumps filled with puss. The pain was continuous and severe. Hence, off meds. Took two weeks for rash to fade to where it doesn't hurt."


"My last period was june 18th and my periods are like clockwork, always 28 days. On July 4th at around 1am I lost my virginity to my bf and he came inside me, full load. At around 3pm I took plan B. My period app predicts my ovulation at around July 2nd but I was not about to risk getting pregnant. I had no symptoms other than being a little tired. Fast forward to July 08, had unprotected sex again but this time he pulled out. Took plan B again 3 hours later. Had crazy symptoms this time, cramping, light headache, nausea, tender breast, fatigue, bloating and was freaking out. My period came today, right on time. I am going to start reg BC pills now. Took plan b twice and it didn't affect my cycle, maybe because I had already ovulated IDC."


"On Otezla for 5 weeks and seems to be doing its job. Rashes have gotten pale and very quite. only problems have been some AM headaches and slight nausea. Corporate has been very helpful in getting me this medication."


"if you're reading this you're probably going through a pregnancy scare and praying plan b worked. i had sex on the highest day of my fertility the condom broke and i took the plan b within a couple hours. i started having minor brown spotting for about 4 days and then my period came on full and heavy. honestly i would read these everyday to ease my mind. if you stress yourself out your period will delay, let plan b do its job and keep yourself busy ladies !"


"I started writing a novel based off my experiences with gout and the different medications I took for them,and ran out of room. So here is the short version. I hate Indomethacin and colchicine with a passion. So much so, this last attack had me crawling on my hands and knees, and I refused to take the stuff. I lasted a month and Today I went in. By chance my Doctor was out ill. The new Doctor looked at it and prescribed prednisone and started me on allopurinol. I have heard of prednisone before and was eager to try it. I'm sticking with the new doctor. This drug is amazing. I dont believe in miracle drugs, but this is damn close. After 8 hours of taking my first dose, 80-90 percent of the pain is gone. Screw Indomethacin!!!!!!!!!!"


"I have had the Mirena for about 2 years now and have had nothing but problems with it. My hair is falling out. I have gained weight. I don't want to have sex. I'm depressed I now have anxiety attacks. I haven't had a period since getting it but I would rather have one then be moody all the time!"


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"Well I can't say enough about finally finding a doctor with enough compassion to even give this medicine to me. I had this disorder for over 3 years before I even was diagnosed. I had to finally demand a sleep study from my primary care as he always discounts everything I say to him. When I got the results back, we went over it, and I saw I stopped breathing 140 times per hour, I was livid. I had been on lyrica as well, and that too made me very sleepy, so I was falling asleep no matter where I was, driving, sitting in a public place, and especially at home. Then I found her, and told her what was happening, what my new diagnosis was and she just wrote out this prescription without question at all. It has given me a new life, and I don't sleep all the time"

"Used this product as well as having used Neosporin on different occasions. This product works better and in less time. Can be used over larger area than Neosporin."


"I have been on Belviq for 3 weeks, twice daily. Most side affects have gone away except I'm still tired a lot. I started @ 244, I'm now at 230. I walk 2 miles most days of the week and I watch my carb intake.  It has greatly reduced my appetite where I almost forget to eat. I drink lots of water and drink a cup of hot green tea at bedtime."


"I took Tri Sprintec for 3 years and the first 2.5 years were great! Very effective at preventing pregnancy and even lightened my periods.  However after that I started to feel very nauseated my first week of a pack and then became so depressed during the second week that I could not get out of bed.  I know others who have had this experience after extended use."


"I've been using this pill for a yr now to have regular periods because I don't have periods and to also ovulate every month which the pill did help me. But the side effects are the worse which is nausea, weight gain, breast larger, tender hurting a lot, mood swings, depression, emotional, change in appetite, nervous, headaches. I'm be using my last two packs and I'm done with the BC pills all together. Hate that my body went thru so much changes."


"I took Gildess Fe for years and loved it so much, but unfortunately it is now discontinued, so my doctor put me on Lutera.

The first pack of Lutera was miserable. I am the happiest person, and this pill put me a bad mood all the time. Literally everything pissed me off. I feel like I'm going through puberty all over again (in every possible way).

Also, my periods on this pill last for 9 days when it usually lasts for 3. The biggest complaint I have is how it's affected my relationship with my boyfriend of 9 years. We have not had sex in a month because I have zero sex drive.

I just finished my third pack and will be switching to Microgestin on Sunday."


"I am on Day 3 and I am starting to notice some if not all of the effects. My mood is stabilising and I am finding my motivation returning to me. I need it for when I get into my doctoral program! I can find pleasure in things I enjoy again. I don't have overtly pessimistic and sad thoughts as much. I'm not crying as much. Before I started taking this medicine I was not at rock bottom, but I did not want to feel like awful anymore. Depression is a real disease. The medications do help."


"Like most others, I am posting after having been awakened in the middle of the night in pain :(. Placed the insert in around 11. It is 3 am and I am writhing from the burning. Got a warm wash cloth and tried that for a bit. Not sure why all this burning."


"I am 18 years old and weigh about 120 pounds. I got in the Depo-Provera shot July 2013. When I went to get the shot the nurse told me I may have no weight gain or cravings. She also told me to take 1200 calcium everyday. The day after I got the shot I felt like I had the flu the whole day was miserable. As the first month was bad. My body ached & I felt sick to my stomach about every week.. The second month I was sick about 3 days a week with my body hurting & sick to my stomach. I also lost my urge to eat.  Throughout the 3 months I was moody my friends & family couldn't stand to be around me. I gained maybe 2 pounds. "


"I've been on Lexapro for 2 years and am now weening myself off.  I am giving this medicine a relatively high rating because it saved my social and academic life in under a month of beginning treatment.  However, after being on it for about 2 years it's effects have plateaued.  I am completely emotionally neutral to any situation.  Some may like this feeling, but I do not.  Example:  I get a D on an important term paper.  Emotion: I don't care.  Example: I get an A on an important term paper.  Emotion:  I don't care.  I'd at least like to feel something from emotional stimuli.  I will either be trying a different drug or giving a completely drugless life a chance.  Good luck to you all."


"I got the shot and my period went away for.the first 2 months. After that it came back again to never leave since (3 moths later and counting) . I used to have a heavy 4 day period or even less than that. Now it's really light but it hasn't stop . My doctor keeps telling me it's okay and she even said I should try to get a second shot . Now I am waiting to see my results because I might even have anemia now. I don't recommend this at all . The feeling of not knowing the consequences of having my period for such a long time it's devastating me ."


"It gives me heartburn and dizziness.  Makes me feel off-center."


"I have used Sronyx for three months now. Have not changed my diet or exercise, and have gained about 8 lbs. I was on Loestrin for a year and a half, but lost my health insurance. This is what the county health clinic gave me."


"I have suffered from a double fusion on my lumbar spine since 2006. I have tried every known pain medicine in the book with no success until the doctor prescribed the last and only medicine that actually worked, OxyContin. "


"Female 31 been taking Bystolic 2.5 mg for a year. It works great with your blood pressure along with heart rate. No major side effects on me. I say give it a try."


"I love my Mirena. I had my mine put in about 4 months ago and I think its great. I just had a little cramping the week after having it put in. My period was very short and now I don't have a period at all. After reading a few of the reviews it sounds like only the people who had bad experiences are posting. I love mine and think its great."


"So I have been on almost every anti-psychotic out there. So now my pdoc put me on Vraylar. I was going through a bad mixed episode, severe depression, not leaving the house, racing thoughts, etc. The Vraylar has helped with all of that. My pdoc started me at 1.5mg for 2 days then upped it to 3mg. The depression got better almost immediately but now I'm having extreme anxiety- can't stop moving my leg. So he increased it yesterday to 4.5mg & so far no change in the anxiety but its only been 1 day. I'm just hoping the anxiety is due to the episode & not a side effect of this med. Altho now I'm feeling a tad manic. Also, sleep has been an issue. It makes me sleepy but I sleep restlestless & wake up at 7am, but I'm wide and rested so its ok."


"I was given oxycodone for pain relief in the hospital after hip replacement surgery.  The pain relief was okay, but the side effects of nausea, confusion, and weakness made me feel wretched.  Who wants to throw up repeatedly and feel pathetic after surgery?  As soon as my surgeon swapped oxycodone  for tramadol, the bad side effects disappeared. Tramadol's pain relief was comparable or better. I'm amazed by all these high ratings because many friends had similar bad side effects with oxycodone."


"I got the nexplanon (implanon in Ireland!) in 2012 when I was 22 and I think its brilliant like that could never remember to take the pill and could never find a method of contraception that suited me the pill made me gain a lot of weight I was very moody and got very bad cramps...with the implant I spotted for the first week and haven't had a period since never gained weight my bust got bigger which is a good thing! never had a problem with my skin or mood swings...now been 25 and just after having my second one inserted I think their brilliant not for everyone by the looks of these reviews but me and my boyfriend of 2 years swear by it only negative is its very expensive if your insurance doesn'tt cover it"


"I'm a 19 year old female and I suffer from insomnia. I talked to my doctor about my horrid sleeping habits. I have a rough time falling asleep and when I do I only get about an hour of sleep. His first thought was to prescribe a 5mg dose of ambien. I was shocked as my knowledge of the drug was that it had a heavy impact and could cause you to not remember the night you took it. When I got home that night I got ready for bed, took the dose, and laid down. After an hour or so it finally kicked in but all it did was give me a sense of not being in the correct mindset. Just being a bit off. It didn't help me fall asleep whatsoever. In fact it caused me to remain alert and awake. My results were the complete opposite of its intended use."


"OxyContin pain relief at 20 mg every 8 hours did not hold me through. Always had breakthrough pain, taking OxyIR 10 mg every four hours in addition. Decided just to take the OxyIR every four hours without the OxyContin and pretty much got same results. When taking both, the constipation problem was MAJOR. Then doctor prescribed Lactulose--worked better than others but had a choice: 50 percent of pain relief and walk around all day with an upset, growling, cramping stomach problems as a side effect of the Oxy's. "


"I have been taking this to see if it will help with my vaginismus, which is where the vaginal clamps down during any sort of penetration due to a trauma. I think it has helped mildly, but not cured my condition - which is not surprising, since it's mostly mental."


"I have severe chronic idiopathic constipation. And Lizness usually works within 2-3 hours after taking it. It doesn't work every time but if it works 2 times a week then I'm happy. Without it I only had a Bowel Motion once a month at the most. And that's after using magnesium citrate."


"I've only been on this medication for two days. I've tried every appetite suppressant out there. I overeat constantly. I'm at risk for diabetes. My cholesterol is sky high but I still can't stop eating chocolate. I'm at 0.6 now. No nausea or other side effects. I still crave chocolate and peanut butter and any food I can get my hands on. I need this to work. It seems to work for everyone else except me."


"I have been taking this birth contorl for just over 6 months now. I am so ready to find a different one. I never had headaches until I started taking this pill. I experience them at least three times a week now. This pill has made me constantly crave sweet junk food. Hello weight gain! I also have been extremely emotional. I feel depressed about everything and I feel like crying more often than not. Not the pill for me!"


"I have taken this med 800mg three times a day for two plus years. It does absolutely nothing for back pain from muscle spasms. The only good thing I can say is Workers Compensation pays for it."


"I don't know what everyone is talking about. I have been taking this pill for two weeks and I haven't lost any weight whatsoever. I barely eat, so it did curb my appetite. I do a light workout because I have knee, back, and wrist problems. The only positive thing about this pill is that I no longer fall asleep on the couch. Two weeks ago I weighed 208 and today I still weigh 208."


"Relief!  Don't be without this medication if you ever get cold sores.  Mine are infrequent, but deadly and horrid when they happen.  This medicine stops the virus cold.  The tingle means there's a little damage already, but it heals without making a gigantic ugly sore on your lip."


"I've been on NuvaRing for 3wks. And the only side effect that I noticed was nausea. Then I came to this site, read a few reviews and realized I've had more side effects than I thought. I had a terrible headache and on going back pain which I thought was from my epidural but according to other reviews was from the Nuvaring. Also I have been having diarrhea on and off the whole time. Still didn't think nothing of it until I came to this site. The headaches are bad when I do get them and the back pain is a killer but nothing a little Motrin can't handle. I can't feel it during sex and neither can he. It hasn't slipped out yet. So far so good."


"more effective and much fewer unpleasant side-effects than the more common plan-b. However, only available with a prescription. free with my insurance!"


"I thought that Chantix wasn't affecting me. I was on it for 2 weeks and experienced no side effects (even with taking the pill on an empty stomach and accidentally double-dosing). It didn't MAKE me want to quit or make cigarettes taste bad.

I decided to quit the day after Thanksgiving. To my surprise, I didn't have any of my usual withdrawal symptoms. Usually, I am like Mr. Hyde in my temperment. I thought of having a cigarette, but it was a 'thought' and not a craving. For me, Chantix didn't make me put down the cigarettes, BUT it did take away my withdrawal symptoms, leaving me only having to deal with the mental pangs of wanting one. I tried a cigarette 2 days after quitting and it tasted horrible. Not going back to smoking ever."


"Have been on Lyrica for six months now for lower back pain. At first, 2x25mg per day. With doc's approval moved to 1x25mg per day. Now, 1x75mg, three times per week.

The effect has been enormous. Pain gone.

Thanks to Australian health system, costs are about $6/month"


"I absolutely hate it. Every time I take it I can't eat anything or drink anything with caffeine. It taste like copper or way off. After taking the medicine for 7months straight. I was in so much pain I couldn't walk I felt weak and sick. I took myself off and I felt great. But my eye sight hadn't changed. I delevoped carpal tunnel on this medicine. This is what that tingling sensation is. Get it checked. Remind y'all I'm only 27 yrs old. I shouldn't have all this. I recently started taking it again. And it's all the same symptoms again."


"I had the Paraguard IUD for 4 years it was effective birth control however, it has caused more harm to my body than good. I am not one to bash but if you like  to see if you like feeling happy, if nausea  and head aches are not your thing Do Not  Get this Device at least until you do your research."


"I have been taking this medication since 1-16-09. So far people around me have noticed a change but I still don't see a change that is so dramatic that I should continue using this medicine. I still feel extremely low at times and all they do is keep increasing my dosage."


"There are so many women who have trouble that I thought I would write a review. I have tried many birth control options over the years. and ALWAYS got very sick. I recently tried loestrein and was really sick. So my doctor gave me the patch. I had tried ortho eva.  Years ago. And was very sick. Sick to my stomach. Couldn't keep anything down. I'm on my second patch. The first week I was moody and wanted to throw out the patch but it went away. I'm not sick like on the pill. Due to some health problems I think any hormones make me a little tired. So in the future I plan on something permanent but until then the patch is working. I'm not getting super sick.

So if you are considering trying it. It's worth a try. Everyone is different."


"I'm a male in my mid 30's. Had hives for 3-6 month stretches with 3-6 month breaks since I was 15 years old. Symptoms were as bad as most people on here, but never needed a hospital visit.

Got on Xolair shortly after it was approved by the FDA, around 2-1/2 years ago. Hives were gone within 24 hours and usually the only hive I see is if I'm over-extending my time between shots. Started at 2 shots per visit (300 mg total) every 4 weeks. Now taking 300mg every 6 weeks. Works like a charm. Wish they could get the cost down. Even with insurance and assistance programs I still end up paying a large amount out of pocket.

All in all a VERY effective medication that I wish had been available years ago!"


"I love how easy the procedure was and how well it works. I don't have to remember a thing. But I have been really moody - short temper and have headaches all the time. Hopefully this will change. "


"Both feet affected , used prescription Lamisil for 3 months which totally cleaned up right foot all toes.

Then Zeta Clear on left foot for 4 months....nothing. Filed nails every 2 nd day to keep them thin and clean.Switched to Jublia ($55 ) for a tiny brush on bottle.

Nothing ,  after religiously applying as instructed for 4 months.

That's it , will not waste any more money and just file away regularly."


"Excellent finally some relief!"


"I have smoked for five years and have tried to quit three times and nothing worked. I have a new grandbaby and decided to the leap and ask for Chantix, I am on day 5 and everytime I try to smoke they taste nasty. I have no side effects. I eat then take it with a full glass of water. This is the best and I am so happy to break the chains of this addiction."


"I went from Mylan to Portia. Ever since I switched I've been getting massive headaches, horrible cramping/bloating when on my cycles and just overall been feeling terrible for the past 2 months of taking it. Still works but not the type of pill for me."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Started drinking this concoction and the very first thing that came to mind was "Why does this stuff have to taste so bad? Why can't it have nice chocolate flavor? Is the science that created it incapable? I mean really, does it need to taste like what it is meant to produce?"


"Reading these comments are what kept me so calm ..and I promised myself if it works I will write a comment to ease the mind of others the way my mind was eased ......first of all ladies please calm down ...if u took the pill when u were suppose to u will be OK......sooo...on September 3rd it was the last day of my period my Flo was light and I decide to have sex we used protection anywho the condom slipped off and he ejaculated in me ...SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE .....this was at 1:18am in the morning I bought the pill and took at 10am ...a few days later I had some dark spotting and I took 5 pregnancy tests all negative as I went to take another my period came 10-23-16 I've never been so happy to menstrate in my life ..."


"Significant and easily observable reduction of sex drive and erection, but not enough to be a serious issue. Not a single other negative side effect, even during the first days of taking the medicine. I actually had *some* extremely positive side effects in the first week of using, unfortunately, those last only for a week max.

Keep in mind that I'm very tolerable to SSRI-s - I didn't have problems with Prozac and Zoloft either. "


"From the first day I took Campral I started to forget about drinking. It's now been a week and I've lost all desire. Just looking at alcohol or people drinking it is a complete turn off.

I was drinking 1-2 bottles of red wine every night and i've seen been a huge turn around in my mood (and life) since taking Campral in a very short time. I did a lot of reading about the drug including reading comments in this forum before starting it and it really does work well.

If you need some time to press the pause button this will help give you some strength and clarity to get on with life."


"5-6 hours after taking 50mg I'm still wide awake. It's been helpful only when I've taken 20mg Baclofen with it and 50mg Tramadol. Otherwise I toss and turn, wake up constantly throughout the night, and only start to fall into a deep sleep around 7am, right before I have to get up.  I haven't experienced any side effects yet. I don't wake up groggy"


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


"After reading all the reviews I decided to try Prozac.  I am extremely sensitive to medications and have been on many different antidepressants, usually stopping due to side effects.  My Dr. gave me the liquid Prozac so I could take a tiny amount and work my way up.  Initially loss of appetite, nausea, slight dizziness, tiredness, weight loss.  I am 8 weeks out and most side effects have improved.  I feel so much better.  Anxiety is low to nonexistent, clear thinking, hope has returned. Still dealing with grief from my mother's death but I feel better equipped to handle it.  That is a miracle!  I take 2mg, yes 2mg, and when I go higher I can't tolerate the side effects. "


"I love Adipex it helped me reach my goals. "


"It really helped me years ago when I took it for about 16 months. It was a nice break from my OCD which is pretty moderate. I had to take 200mg a day for it to be fully effective. I did gain a few pounds and takes longer to orgasm. But it all worked fine. The sad part is you do have a trade off when you take these things. The good news is you can stop taking it for a couple days and then orgasm is normal as it has a short half life. Then go right back to normal on dosage. It quit working for me after about 16 months and nothing else worked so decided to just be without it. I would try it if you need to."


"I have never had BV before but I have to admit it  the medicine started to relieve all my symptoms within the first few days. I did experience nausea and chest pain sore throat but I feel like the good outweighed the bad through my treatment process I have a few more days left and I'm overall satisfied with my treatment."


"I got mine in August 8th, 2014. For the two months following I had a normal period, but then it started to become heavier and would last almost 2 weeks, and I would have a week before it would start up again. My doctor prescribed me these hormonal pills, which helped regulate it but after I ran out of the pills I was irregular, but it wasn't as heavy. Now, a year later, I have a period every 3 weeks for 3-5 days, and its super light. No weight gain, no acne, not pregnant which is so nice not to worry about. But my only problem is that I get an awkward like 2 day period the day after I have sex. Which is the exact reason I came on here was to see if anyone else had the same problem."


"This medicine did a great job in "leveling" off my emotions. I didn't cry nearly as easy when I was going through PMDD.  I also handled some serious crisis' in life much easier.  The negative part was that I was so very tired all of the time. I had very little energy and I couldn't get enough sleep.  Prior to taking the medicine, I had been working out on a very regular basis, however, after taking the medicines, I lost all interest in it. I quickly put back on the 15 lbs that I had worked so hard to get rid of.  After speaking with my physician again, I'm going to try Wellbutrin instead.  Hopefully the energy will return and I can resume my workout regimen."


"I've been on the depo shot for a month and a half and I have not quit bleeding since I got the shot sex life has been ruined I'm calling the gyno tomorrow."


"I've had no numbness in my fingers or toes since starting this medicine. Before starting I could not even carry a jug of milk without my fingers losing color from lack of blood flow. Even driving with mittens on was a problem. Now circulation is great. Only complaint is the terrible headaches and tiredness and a bit of insomnia. Still trying to decide what's worse....the headaches or the numbness all winter. "


"The feeling of being on fire started when I was 17 and the daily attacks didn't stop until I found Cetirizine HCL (Zyrtec) some 5 years ago.  I'm now 50
I take a tablet every morning and I'm good.
For me it's a miracle pill. "


"I have been taking Morphine for about 4 years now. I presently take 60mgs (of the slow release morphine) twice daily. I have chronic shoulder pain in both shoulders from 8 surgeries in the left for a torn rotator cuff, which they can't do anything about. The right shoulder has had 1 surgery for the same problem. Got the same result for it, they cant do anything for it. The morphine helps me with some pain. I could just imagine how much it would hurt without it. "


"I have taken Diclegis for about a month now and it has been great for me. Just makes Me sleepier than ever ..but I can eat and that's what I needed considering I am already thin as it is.. This medicine has been a life saver even though I am having concerns if it will harm baby which had made me resort to just one a day..

Also the pharmacy told me the bottle was 700$ out of pocket.. Yikes.. I'm surviving off samples from office. Thank goodness!"


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I don't know how recent the comments are but my daughter suffers with migraine and Midrin is the only thing that we have found that gives her the relief that she needs to be able to function. I was informed last week that it is no longer being manufactured. We are so scared. I have tried to get it from every pharmacy in town."


"After having every allergic reaction in the book and experiencing every single side effect of Dilantin my doctor quickly switched me to Lamictal. I love it. Not one negative side effect to mention! If only it helped me lose weight! (P.S. My Petit seizures are well under control and I haven't had a grand mal since before I was medicated 6 years ago)."


"I have been taking hydroxychloroquine for 3 years. It took a few months before I really noticed a difference but now, I am almost pain free. I take it with leflunomide, it wasn't working by itself. I have not had any serious side effects. I get my blood checked every 2-3 months and my eyes checked twice a year. I have a flare up now and then but they are nowhere near as painful as they used to be."


"I have been taking Remicade infusions since September 2005 and I can't say anything negative about it. I go in for the infusion hurting and aching and come out feeling so much better. Worth the 12 sticks it sometimes takes to get me started infusing."


"Felt like the energizer bunny! Within an hour I was racing around work. Pain I normally have(back surgery) disappeared but after 6 hrs when I slowed down finally, I ached everywhere!"


"Thanks to Chantix for helping me quit smoking after being a smoker for nearly 20 years. I was able to quit smoking completely using Chantix and only took it for 2 weeks. In my case there were no side effects at all.

Good Luck to you"


"OMG!!!!!! I have a yeast infection. I started trying to use coconut oil only for three days which helped with the itching and cleared some of the yeast but not all. I wanted to try the three day because I felt like the one day was not enough. But I sent my husband and he got the seven day. Which was cool because I did want more days but OMG!!! Ladies I can't even describe the feeling. It hurts. It kind of tickles insanely. It feels WAY WORSE than it was before the treatment. I'm not sure if I can handle 6 more days of this stuff!! I hopped in the shower and tried to spray it out lol. That only worked a little bit...I just want to get the cream out but I want it to work at the same time. It feels better when I sit up. GL"


"good for insomnia most of the time"


"Highly recommend for mild acne.

I was put on this to treat my mild hormonal break outs.

With in a couple days I had results!

No redness,drying or any effects.

I wish I would have known about this years ago!

Going to start my son on this also.

I have the topical dabber. Works great!"


"I went on Cymbalta for my fibromyalgia pain and depression.  I never had any real early side effects like nausea or vomiting, but I have gained 15 pounds. My meds have helped me and I  don't suffer from as many days of dreading to get out of bed. Cymbalta has helped me greatly and if some extra weight is the price I have to pay to be happy then I can deal with that."


"Male 68 yrs old, chronic constipation for 20 yrs. Started on 145mg for 30 days, results positive. Must drink lots of water.  Had BM within 1 hr.  No serious side effects.  Reduced Rx to 72mg for 2 weeks but stopped working so returned to 145mg.  Now BM occurs after 2-3 hrs with no diarrhea. Have abdominal cramps for 6-7 hrs.  Going back to Dr. Soon"


"This medication works perfectly.  I'd be lost without it. It's ease of use is invaluable.  Wish it wasn't so expensive."


Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IIa, Elevated LDL

"My Cardio. wants my LDL lower than the 88 it is now, because of my having a bypass surgery in 1999, he wants it below 70.  After about a week of taking 4- 625 mg pills per day I have noticed a change in bowl movement. I used to go once at breakfast, then about an hour later had another Bowel Motion, but more violent and loose.  Would stay in the restaurant until 2nd Bowel Motion most of the time, or make sure I was close to one of my usual emergency rest stops--Dr. office, gas station, Port-John or rest room at the mall when doing post breakfast walk.  Now, if this works on my A1c (now 7.5) and lowers LDL, without extreme side effects, I will be very happy.  After this short period of time I'm feeling pretty safe about not being caught unprepared."


"I can't say enough positive about this medicine. It's the type of medicine that saves marriages. With that said I got the rare side effect of pulmonary embolism. I am now on blood thinners to counteract this because I function so well on this medicine. "


"I am 234 lbs 5'4 have been struggling with weight for the last 30yrs, I am 56 yrs old, past menopause 5 yrs ago, have a lapband about 8yrs ago lost 60lbs and regained 15 back, started phentemine 15mg no side effects, on 1/12 and started 4 days ago exercises 1hr a day ,also drink 112 oz of water daily have been doing this for about 1month, was told to eat 4 times a day about 240-260 calories in each meal, dr. Stated even of I am not hunger I need to eat,  I eat alot of veg,  Fruit and lean meats, I have not see any weight loss, also with my first water drink braggs vinegar,  can someone give me advise what is happening? Thanks"


"First i want to say that everyone is different and not everyone reacts the same to medication.
I started with Concerta, it didn't work for me at all. I didn't feel like myself, it took over my personality and I started to have heavy anxiety, panic attacks, anti social and paranoia.

Then I got Vyvance and its life changing, It doesn't feel like I'm on a prescription. It's more a tool that helps me get through everyday life. I'm much calmer, I can concentrate on one thing at the time. I get so much more done and I feel like I'm in peace with my mind. My patience has improved, I'm less impulsive and I can sit for a long time straight without feeling bubbly or restless.

Side effect- Dry mouth, no appetite. But EAT and eat smart, it gets back."


"I had unprotected sex on Sunday at like 4 in the morning and I was freaking out so my boyfriend and I bought Plan B and I've been feeling super nauseous for the past four days now and have been very paranoid but I found this and read all of your comments and stories and it's made me feel so much better. I'm going to keep myself calm and just wait it out."


"I have tried many medications for bipolar disorder.  All had to be discontinued due to side effects.  Then I finally tried Geodon.  I have been on it for about a month.  This has been the best tolerated and effective medicine for me so far.  It really stabilizes my mood shifts.  And I tolerate it well.  The major side effects for me are restlessness, anorexia (a welcome side effect!), a little anxiety, and morning drowsiness.  I went from taking this medication 40 mg twice a day to just 80 mg at night, and my morning drowsiness subsided.  I am glad I tried Geodon.  I hope its positive effects continue."


"I've had Fibromyalgia since 2004 and neuropathy. I am on my 8th day of Savella and yes the first couple of days there was nausea but I wasn't in pain. Then today the pain came back but it's not as bad. Overall I feel like this medicine is really helping me a lot. No side effects other then nausea and I do have less pain and feel like I can go back to work now. I hope this medicine works for everyone as it has for me. I also tried Lyrica, Cymbalta, Darvocet, Gabatril, Ultram, Effexor, Lexapro......Savella is the best yet!"


"After trying a million birth controls, I finally stayed on this one for a while. No weight gain. I was emotional and depressed around my period. And have a great sex drive. The only problem I am having now is acne. It gets worse around my period. I am switching today. I love this birth control. Wish I didn't have to switch, but I hate breakouts!"


"Best out of many I tried. Helped the best with least side effects. Added Wellbutrin and combination is awesome. I'm a high functioning person. Abilify at night. All good. Been on over ten years, Abilify recently. "


"This product is horrible, it made me not be able to breath through my nose whatsoever, and stopped up my ears. The other brand works amazingly compared to this crap."


"I am an 18 year old male. While I was in school I struggled with subjects that involve high levels of focus to succeed in e.g. Math, Chem, Physics, English (all of the important ones). In grade 12 I decided to try Concerta after a bad experience with Ritalin (night terrors). I only take it on days I will need it which I think makes you not need to go up in dosage. It worked so well it is hard to explain what happens exactly but it just makes you focus and understand what the teacher is talking about. My marks instantly went up. The only side affects I get is I feel warm and sometimes if I take it to late in the day I have trouble falling asleep. This medicine is a miracle, I wish I had it earlier on in school because it helps so much."

"I was very sick and did not know it. In December I had lost 32 lbs and jaundice.  Had my gallbladder removed in February.  Doctor could not figure out what was wrong.  Several doctors had seen me.  Then finally my doctor had me take an HIV test.  I waited.  Then was brought in to be told I am sick.  Very sick.  Later tests showed my T cells were at 175 and my viral load was 200,000. High. She recommended this drug and within 30 days my blood tests came back undetectable.  They are doing another test next week and a geno test to confirm."


"Because this is a food/medicine, there is no way it can cause side effects.  I have only been on it for a little over a week, but I am thrilled!!  I do not feel depressed, and I am feeling energized and better than I have in years!  I have taken every kind of antidepressant there is, I think.  I weaned off the last one, and right now I am not on anything but Deplin.  I am amazed."


"
Afrin is great and it works in seconds.  Just don't use it more than 3 days in a row or you'll be more stuffed up than you were before you started."

"I have been taking this pill for less than a week now. The first three days I was really nauseous. Today is my sixth day on this pill and I am no longer sick from it, also my skin has almost completely cleared up. I switched to this pill from Junel Fe because it was making my skin break out severely. I'm very happy with Tri-Sprintec so far, although I've noticed I'm a little hungrier than normal!"


"I took Symbyax a few years ago for a month. It
was great made me feel happy again and happy about life. Since I suffer real bad mood swings and other stress related issues I stop taking it and it and have not been good without it. Started taking it again. The only knock is you get a crazy appetite and can gain weight if you don't workout and Cotton mouth for days but other than that its a miracle."


"I had an accident on the most fertile day of my cycle and was so afraid since both of my children were conceived on the first try so I am incredibly fertile. I took the pill an hour after sex and had minimal side effects over the next week. Mostly menstrual like cramps and tingly breasts. However because those can be pregnancy symptoms I was totally panicking. 9 days after taking the pill I had some strong cramps and noticed a little bright red blood after wiping. I thought it was implantation bleeding since my period wasn't due for another 5 days and I had it with both my other pregnancies. I figured the pill didn't work since I took it on the day of ovulation. But over the next hour it turned into a full period! Plan b worked!!!!!!!"


"Thought this was a miracle drug for me. At first I was taking 5 mg a day twice a day with no side effects. NO SIDE EFFECTS, it was a dream!  Since I tried all the SSRIs with no luck, due to intolerable side effects I had very high hopes.  Once day six came around I started to feel the drug working more.  That night I came home after working two 12 hour shifts back to back,  and I had the worst insomnia of my life. I have NEVER EVER had trouble sleeping after my twelve hour shifts. I was up for almost 24 hours it was so bad and I was absolutely exhausted and miserable. Needless to say, I deemed the insomnia not worth taking this drug."
