"I'm not good with any Atypical-Anti-psychotics. After the third day I swelled up 7 pounds, my face, hands, calves and feet were swollen. I was VERY asthmatic. I'm Schizo-affective Depressive Type. Mentally, for three days on 5mg morning and evening I didn't feel half bad. But I got a little strange mentally that I cannot quiet describe. Almost as if it made me somewhat loopy. It never made my tongue/mouth numb, had a bad taste for about 5 minutes. I don't know quiet what happened but it was lousy waiting out the Half-Life to the drug. I don't know if it interacted with one of my other medications."


"I started taking Uloric 5 weeks ago. It seems to be working alright. I have tried several medicines for this ailment allopurinal, colchicine, steroids, vicodin. It took me a week to get off those, had bad reactions on allopurinol i.e. rashes, swelling of the stomach and lips. Colchicine diarrhea so bad I couldn't work. Anyway Uloric has been pretty effective so far. I have also tried apple cider vineger, baking soda, herbal remedies none as effective as Uloric. Only drawback to it I don't have insurance and Uloric is $200.00 for a 30 day supply."


"I got nexplanon put in at my six week check up after having my son. I had stopped bleeding for three days from giving birth when I got this inserted. I got my first period three days later it has been a solid 62 days today with no breaks. Not to mention I had lost 30 pounds in the first month after having my son and have now gained half of it back. I have never had messed up periods or messed up times with any birth control like I have with this one. After reading all of the below experiences I'm making a drs apt to get this thing removed asap"


"Works for the first time . Don't work 2nd time you get it."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I am 61 years old. Have been in permanent Afib for approximately 6 years. I was originally put on 100mg aspirin for 18 months, then went on to Warfarin prior to an attempt at cardioversion. Heart remained in Afib so was soon after put on to Eliquis (5mg tab twice a day). I have been on this medication now for 4 years. Prior to being on Elequis, I had to inject with Clexane prior to any air travel as a precaution. Since being on Eliquis I have not had any side effects, no need for Clexane when travelling. The only precaution recommended was NOT to take any medications such as Ibroprufen for pain relief or flu and cold capsules that contain pseudoephedrine."


"This is incredibly overpriced garbage!"


"I've had incontinence for some time, but it got to where the urge would hit so hard that I couldn't move until the urge passed and I could get to the bathroom. I went to the doctor and she put me on Oxybutynin. It may be all in my head but I swear only one 5mg. pill already has worked. I didn't have that extreme urge when I got up from a nap, like I did before. I still had the urge but not as severe. Time will tell."


"I have suffered from MDD most of my life undiagnosed and untreated, and now in my thirties finally decided to see if dysfunctional patterns in my life might not all be character related. I was diagnosed with MDD quickly and immediately prescribed Sertraline, and it worked so well so quickly my doctor and I thought it was a placebo effect. I have gone on and off the meds over the last six months just to see what other factors are affecting me, and can say without equivocation, these meds have been completely life altering. My doctor helped me understand that mental illness is as real as diabetes. Diabetics can make huge health improvements through lifestyle and still require insulin be cause of a physical malfunction. So too with Depression."


"So far I'm losing weight only be using for a week."


"I would NOT recommend this patch to anyone. The company has printed in black ink the product name on the patch itself, which is beyond dumb!!  The glue leaves huge circle on your underwear that will not come off. The glue leaves circles on your skin when the patch is removed, which is almost impossible to come off. I used Vivelle before and had none of these problems, plus the patch was half the size as this product. Insurance said this product was a generic and would no longer pay for the Vivelle."


"Very effective, no drowsy, no dizziness, no body itching."


"I am a mother of 2 small children and I began this medication about 2 months ago after being on Celexa (which made me feel tired a lot and hungry all the time - I gained like 20 lbs on it).  The first thing I noticed with Wellbutrin was a decreased appetite.  Then I started to feel more alert - the same kind of alertness you would feel when taking Adderall.  A few weeks into it, my mood was totally different.  I was happy, calm, energetic - all the things that I wanted for so long, but never thought I could achieve, as I was very depressed.  I was walking in a parking lot the other day and I thought to  myself "wow.  isn't life great?" - Wellbutrin is an AMAZING medication."


"I was on Loestrin/ LoMedia for close to 10 years, never had an issue, never had bad periods with it (my periods before BC were debilitating, I would always get sick and have heavy long periods with death cramps). I had to switch to Aubra because my hospital kept getting back ordered months on Loestrin. Aubra is supposed to be of similar formulation, the progesterone component is a different chemical than I'm used to though, despite it being the same micrograms. I'm on week 3 of active pills, and on a heavy period that started 4 days ago. Have had painful cramps and back pain since I started it. Still have the mild cramps, but bad back pain. Hate these pills, miss my old ones. Granted, I am getting older, maybe that has something to do with."


"I had nexplanon for eleven months and all it did was make my life hell, I kept hoping it would get better that things would mellow out but all that happened was a constant period, no sex life, my family hated me, my friends hated what had become of the period in front of them and I pushed people away. I developed several pms syndrome and was almost put on Prozac because of this shit I am barely getting back to a normal period two months after removal. I can't do birth control, this was the last one for me to try. So this was a very disappointing experience."


"Was on mirena almost two years and it was very bad. Bleeding non stop after insertion for a couple months , and now it's been out for almost 6 months and I've been bleeding a lot again. I spotted 3 times in between my periods this month and my doctor said around 6 months after my periods would be back to normal... well they are not at all! I'm going to see when my doctor can see me next week because this is out of control. Worst birth control. Should have tried the depo provera or just birth control pills again"


"Just checking in again. Switched my pill from minastrin to kariva. Lost all the weight I gained on minastrin. 10 lbs in 2 weeks. This pill is terrible. Terrible side effects. Terrible copay. Terrible behavior changes. Terrible everything."


"This drug saved my life... All complaints aside, this time s a miracle drug, BUT, long term results vary depending on one's commitment to sobtiey. I've been taking Sub's on/off for five years. This MED had 2 basic function for me: Kept me "well" until more opiates are refilled/acquired & gave me the opportunity to shuffle my priorities so that opiates were no longer a priority. It took time for me to mature and commit to the lifestyle changes I needed so badly. Bottom line, this drug alone won't keep u clean m, but if you combine a regimen of support groups, commitment, and this medication I truly believe anyone can get off opiates. Good Luck.

Side effects: constipation, long term reduced energy.

"


"I did not think it would work but let me tell you I'M A BELIEVER!!!  IT WORKS !! GET IT TODAY DO YOUR SELF A FAVOR!"


"I was extremely hesitant to start this pill based on the terrible reviews. I was prescribed this pill after a ruptured ovarian cyst and mildly elevated testosterone levels so kind of had no choice but to try it. I am on day 5 and so far so good! I have not experienced any side effects at all. I was really worried about acne and weight gain as side effects. No acne and I actually seem to be losing weight which is amazing. I will update again after 1 month of use but so far so good!"


"Took first pill and symptoms went away. Second pill I started getting tingling and burning in my back 4 hours after taking the medication. Second pill made the back symptoms go away but introduced a intense pressure in my bladder and pelvic area. 4 hours later it went away then the back pains started again, and 10x worse. My spine had sharp spike of pains in it. I was rushed to ER and was told to stay off the pills. They didn't know what caused the reaction (obviously they can't admit it was the pill) and sent me home with some ativan to relax my body. Stopped for 2 days and the spiking pains are still in my back and spine on and off. Also felt weak and lost feelings in my legs.

Be careful, if you see symptoms stop right away. Do not risk!"


"I've been on nexplanon for 4 months. I loved it the first month; no side effects light spotting a couple days.
Now I've been on my period for 8 weeks and counting. My hair is shedding constantly. I have no appetite; I'm 21 with 2 kids and I now weigh less than 100 lbs. I'm always depressed or angry. Always tired. Constant back pain and abdominal cramping. I was having all day migraines for a month straight but that finally stopped. I get a sharp pain in my left side, by my ovary, everyday sometimes goes down my left leg making it numb. My boyfriend says this is turning me into a completely different person.
Went to the Dr 3 weeks ago and told him everything wrong, he said he could stop the bleeding and gave me the nuvaring, made it worse!"


"It has worked miracles in the past 8 yrs. I have had no side effects from it when used with Arava. Doctor has me now taking methotrexate and my body rejected the IV first time with the new medicines."


"Got a "starter pack" from my doctor and after day 10 (20 mg), %u2014 on advice of my doctor %u2014 I cut a 20 mg tablet in half for my day 11 dose. I have had TERRIBLE side effects and most definitely want to discontinue this drug."


"I have been on it for about 6 months, and it is great except for the fact that it makes me extremely emotional the day before my period and I have cramps on my period. Both of which I never had before using the pill."


"I started taking wellbutrin 300 (150x2)
Benefit; speed biting nails. Calm mind no racing thoughts. Well rested. Pain managed MUCH better. Great focus vs lots of racing thoughts and too much happening at once. Stabilized mood. Generally calmer
Negative: felt like I was going to have a stroke (I've had a few before, unrelated). Hard to think, have full thought, twitchy, nausea, vomiting, headaches, irritated easily, out of body, always hard to swallow, vertigo, hard to swallow/speak, flushed warm feeling, didn't feel like myself though that could be because despite the negatives so many things were much better.going to try something else.  Side effects were too much to justify and had a"bad feeling"from taking it.
Great drug if minimal SE's"


"Given doxycycline 3 days ago. Nausea straight away got worse 3days in and bad stomach pain. Severe nausea. Coating on teeth etc etc . Will never take again"


"I was travelling to the USA from the UK and I recognised I had a yeast infection . I quickly went out without hesitation and picked this up , we don’t have it at home but I liked the one day treatment idea so I could go in and enjoy the rest of my trip. I followed the instructions and inserted the egg. I then went back to bed and read the reviews and became terrified. I even considered trying to get it out !! I told myself to sleep as hopefully the burning will be mild and I’ll wake up feeling semi ok ! I went to sleep , woke up , with only a few niggles ! No burning , no crazy over the top itching , and my symptoms visibly better! I’d definitely order this again and wish I could take a bunch home with me for the future !!"


"This gave me severe diarrhea."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I used this for tension-type headaches and it didn't help."


"I had some positive experience from receiving Actemra . However about 1 year ago I suddenly developed pulmonary hypertension and RT sided heart failure, suddenly developed severe dyspnea, chest pain, chest & throat pressure, unable to lay flat or symptoms worsened. I was referred to a cardiologist who performed blood work. The BNP result being 982, a chemical stress test, a right sided heart cath that showed high pressure in the right side of the heart. I was referred to Dr who specializes in pulmonary HTN. After about 6 months he ordered repeat testing, Where we discovered the pulmonary HTN had subsided. Normal heart pressures and BNP decreased to approximately 200. No other RA meds taken since."


"I had diarrhea several times a week and especially when we went out. I felt housebound. After beginning dosages of Lonox I was more comfortable, able to travel, and able eat out. Because of these improvements in my health, I also am more secure in leaving my house."


"I am a 44 year old married man. We have four kids. Back in my 20's I had an extrememly high sex drive. It has dropped off quite a bit in my 40's. After a Vasectomy my erections were not what they had been. They also did not last as long. I went to the Doctor without telling my wife. I have been using Cialis for the last two months without her knowing. She has been asking me what has gotten into me. After about an hour of taking the 20mg pill, I am ready to go. The pill gives you that same feeling of HAVING to have sex that you had as a teen. My erections have been rock hard and long lasting. A  all the way. My wife is smiling!"


"Been taking this for a little over a month.. No real side effects that others have listed. Did notice that I'm not hungry on it, but never really was before. I have lost nothing... Increased activity a little. Eating habits are pretty healthy... Think this is not going to work for me...."


"Pain pain and more pain. Worked in about 1 hour ,but very painful."


"So far so good with Nexplanon for me. I've had it for only just over a week but have had the following symptoms: a couple unexplained light headaches (I never get headaches) but these are pretty easily treatable with one advil, it is pretty itchy right now as well, and finally, I am a little dryer during sex, which has been a little frustrating. Still, it is better than pregnancy for me right now, that's for sure. Can't wait until hubby gets a vasectomy one day, though!"


"Ambien CR 12.5 works for me, but, for some reason I can't take the generic.  Negates my anti-depressant (doctor has tried me on different anit-depressants & does it on all of them.)  Has anyone else had this problem?  Very weird."


"I have been on Rythmol SR for about 6 weeks now. I was originally diagnosed with Atrial Flutter, but after the ablation procedure for this, it was then determined that I had Atrial Fibrillation and was put on Rythmol SR.  This drug does not "solve" or "cure" the problem - all it does is subside it temporarily.  As a result, I am scheduled for an Atrial fibrillation Ablation procedure this month.  I have also had numerous side effects (dizziness, and bad taste in mouth). "


"I have gained roughly 30-35 lbs in 2 months, and I wake up early in the morning with severe back pain. I'm not sure if its keeping anything at bay. but the back pain is terrible, I'm trying to get off this asap, and onto something that doesn't coincide with a very painful wake-up."


"Phentermine was the ONLY prescribed weight loss pill that actually worked for me. Before I started the program I had a complete physical by by doctor. When she prescribed this medicine to me, I also decided to change my eating habits. I kicked the sodas, sugars (sweets), fried foods and other junk. I partnered with Diet2Go and order all of my pre-measured food from them. Once my food arrived, I then started taking Phentermine. I only drank pure water with lemon juice - NO SUGAR. I made sure I started taking the medication the same time each morning (9:00 a.m.), ate breakfast, lunch and dinner all in sync, everyday! By the end of the month (30 days to be exact) I went back to my doctor for monitoring - lost 18 lbs in 30 days! It works."


"I had terrible and heavy periods, bad cramps, passing out, missing 1-2 days of work bimonthly, heavy flow. I read a lot about my options and chose Mirena. First insertion attempt didn't work--we did not know I have a steeply bent and narrow uterus but got scans to figure it out. I took naproxen for 2 days leading up to the procedure both times. It was INCREDIBLY painful both times, nausea, nearly passing out. The second time I was on my period which did help and also got a painkiller injection and was much better. I am now 3 months out and only have 1-2 days of very light bleeding/minor cramps, no weight gain or general discomfort, I'm hoping to end up with no periods at all. I would do it over again 10x, totally worth it for me."


"Great medicine, I recently restarted this medicine after 10 years and I feel normal again. This medicine has given me great peace in my life.

I feel calm and collected and I'm quickly understanding what its like to have "free time"

I insist that people who find results using this medicine ensure those in government understand the increase in quality of life we are all experiencing. I've rated this medicine 10/10 purely because any cons I've experienced are meaningless compared to been given a life."


"Have had Mirena for 9 months. I had continous spotting first few months. Gradually the spotting only came about once a month and eventually stopped. I had the Mirena placed 8 weeks after having my second child and although I did not gain weight, it has taken almost a year to lose pregnancy weight. I have had hair loss, itchy scalp, lower back pain, oily face recently and oily back along with acne. But the constant fatigue, depression, feeling of frustration and being overwhelmed constantly, emotional strain, trouble focusing and remembering things are taking over my life. No sex drive either. A recent blood test did showed low vitamin D and I will take supplement, but I will also remove the Mirena. It's different for everyone."


"I've been on Cymbalta over 2 years and it has worked great for my anxiety and Irritable bowel syndrome. I sometimes add Vistaril at stressful times. I tried Topamax and Lexapro and neither gave me the relief I needed. I wish I would have had Cynbalta 30 years ago."


"didn't help at all"


"I have had this Implanon since February and everything was fine I thought. But I have had a lot of medical problems since then. My legs get swollen almost every night. My bleeding is okay. It lasts about 3 weeks at a time but it is mild. I have had a urinary tract infection. My breast hurt like crazy! I have gained weight. I'm sick to my stomach all the time. And I have really bad acne. I think it's time to take it out! But I love not taking a pill every day."


"Took the first 500mg pill that evening, felt a little light headed at bedtime, same thing that next morning at 7:00am. Took the second pill at 7:30am and by 10:00am I was so dizzy I spent the next day and a half flat on my back in bed, the room was spinning even with my eyes closed."


"I was on this medication for over 14 weeks and it made me into an unemotional zombie. My grandma literally passed away in front of me and I couldnt even shed a tear. It helped get me moving around more but, it wasnt really helping my depression. I wasnt happy at all and my anhedonia still persisted. Also, on top of all that Prozac made me lose my libido/sex drive even after I stopped taking it over 6 weeks ago. Im scared my libido/sex drive is never going to come back. This is why I only rated this drug a 1."


"I tend to go on and off it when I am well. I hate the sexual side effects but it works almost immediately for me. I get headaches and trouble sleeping but when it works I feel so normal it is priceless and worth the grief."


"I have lost 34 pounds over the past six months with not a lot with not a lot of effort - this drug is made a big difference in my life. My appetite has decreased which is amazing to me."


"I was given Dilaudid for pain control.  I had diverticulitis and the Dilaudid worked great for about 1 1/2 hours.  The pain returned after that."


"I took this medicine 10 years ago, it was wonderful and cleared my skin. It looked healthy, glowing and my large pores shrunk, my life returned to normal and I felt fantastic.  This drug changed my life and the effects have lasted years but I am back on it.  My skin started becoming very oily again and my deep nodular acne started to return.  My hospital has placed me back on this medicine and I've been taking it for two weeks. Already I am seeing a difference, the grease has gone but I have very dry lips and skin.  It is wonderful though, I don't need to wash my hair every day like I was doing."


"Both my boys have been taking Risperidal. My eldest for about 1.5yrs and my younger boy for about 6 months. This medication has been excellent to reduce their aggression, however my biggest concern is that they both have gone from being around the 5th percentile for weight for age (underweight) to 81st and 93rd percentile for weight (very overweight). This itself has caused problems."


"The medication seem to work, is very expense and I have to do without it for 2 to 4 days. Looking for a generic. I am on a fixed income. I have a intermediate job. Trying to pay some old bills. Paying for this prescribed medication hinder me."


"I started using Victoza almost a year ago, but before I started it my blood sugar was out of control. It went up to 400's and I let it stay there because I was losing weight with it that high. Lost about 15 lbs that way, then went on Victoza and lost another 45 lbs. my sugar levels were perfect. "


"Very good for nerve pain, helps with sleep but are slightly groggy in the morning."


"I've been on Combivent for years and then had an allergic reaction to it which put me in the ER. Had severe skin burning and itching all over. Now have to stop it. It did help my breathing so not happy about this allergic reaction happening to me."


"I was on Cyclafem for many years and would not recommend women use this drug after the age of 44. I got estrogen positive breast cancer at age 50 and I believe it was from being on birth control for 25 years and especially after age 45.  I have a super clean medical history and I did genetic testing and my cancer is not genetic or hereditary in my family.  I wish my gynocologist would have told me about the serious risk for women ages 45-50 taking birth control pills like Cyclafem and getting hormonal, estrogen breast cancer."


"I used the ring for a little over 2yrs.  Switched over to it from the patch.  My hubby could feel it, I sure could when mountain biking - and made me gain weight.  Oh, and no sex drive at all.  Just switched to Levora...fingers crossed!"


"I had Nexplanon put in last Friday, six weeks post partum. I had not gotten my first period before insertion and still have not gotten it. I haven't had any bleeding or spotting. I'm actually not having any issues at all with the Nexplanon other than the ugly bruising at the injection site. I have read reports or headaches and depression but I haven't had that either.. No weight gain either, I've actually lost 2 lbs since I've been on it. Hopefully none of this will change."


"instant relief compared to ointment in the eye."


"Rating of 5 for now, should be getting my first period tomorrow if this works like my Microgestin fe 1/20 did. Body is still adjusting to this pill. Pros: Sex drive has increased. Every other BCP killed my sex drive. Breasts seem bigger, but maybe that's just me being hopeful. Con: Acne has gotten a bit worse, especially on my arms. I am getting more tiny pustule pimples than I was, but I have also been eating a lot more junk lately. Weight has gone up a couple pounds which is okay since I was having trouble gaining weight anyway, but like I said, I haven't been eating too well. No increase in headaches from my normal amount, and no weird mood swings. I take my pill before bed so I don't notice any nausea. So far, I feel great."


"I got it coz i forgot a pill then got knocked up lol, the abortion clinic suggested it and i thought "oooo no more pills" plus it costs me nothing as the NHS covered it... I've had the Nexplanon in for four months now!Aside the constant mood swings,unpredictable periods that could go on for weeks,absent mindedness and anxiety,its great! Cant get pregnant,insatiable sexual appetite, i lost the 16lbs i gained during the pregnancy in a week!!!(from size 12-8 now) and I'm still loosing weight; as this may be unhealthy I'm going to get checked...im not sure if the pros outweighs the cons but getting any kind of implant depends on your tolerance to side effects because they ALL have side effects."


"I have been suffering from pain from Tennis Elbow. Now, no pain; but be careful with dosage. I was groggy for 51hrs fooling with one 100mg dose when I was supposed to be taking it 3 times a day. "


"I am 59 now and have have  had migranes and grand mals since I was a teenager. I was put on Inderal when I was in my twenties. Diagnosed with bipolar and depression by the time I was 30 and put on Prozac and Imitex. THANK GOD FOR IMITREX. That meant I didn't have to be taken to the emergency room 4 or 5 times a month. I was taken off of the Inderal many years ago when I was put on the Prozac. About 3 years ago my Doctor put me on Topamax 50mg twice a day and as long as I take it as directed I have only gone to the hospital 2 times since I have been on it. I still have have a migraine about once a month but the Imitrex takes care of it. "


"I had to post bc all the other posts were so helpful to me - as I was sitting on the toilet. Firstly, it tastes like crap.  Like the taste you have in your mouth the morning after a long night of drinking.  Disgusting. I did take the advice and use a straw second time around. It helped but geez.  You'll want to drink that first glass of water afterwards.  The second glass is tough. I only made it through 12 oz (rather than 16oz) first round - I felt like I was going to be sick.  2nd round, I finished it.Prep seems to be working - not painful but certainly uncomfortable. Most of the activity was in the first hour - 2nd hour things slow down (yeah!).  Last night, I was able to go to bed 3 hours after, only had to get up once. Procedure soon!"


"5mg is not effective  10mg is too strong   I would like a 7+mg tablet"


"I started Chantix two weeks ago. I have smoked since I was 23, started when I was in college during the 60's. I probably smoked at least a pack a day. I am now very close to 70 years old and was still smoking. I was have some minor mouth and throat problems and I knew what was causing these problems-smoking. After going to the doctor, I discovered that I have vocal cord problems. The doctor found large growths on my vocal cords. He said if you do not quit smoking, you will die. So, I started Chantix and I have had very few side effects. I just started week 3 and I have not smoked the last 2 weeks. I am having some issues with nicotine withdrawal. I have handled these withdrawals with swimming, walking, and reading consistently."


"Worst cream out there!!! I've used this before and it never burn/itch as much as it did this time. Once I inserted the cream the pain and the itch was so incredible ridiculous. I felt better before this and this is marketed for itch relief how is that??? I don't know how this is even still in the market to be sold. Please please don't use!"


"Sinus infection:  Started using this product 4 days ago and so far nothing is happening? Still total congestion, massive sinus headaches on and off (more on then off), the only thing this medication has managed to give me is diarrhea?  Will give this another day then go back to the doctor.  Not sure this is the right medication for me."


"I have been on this for 4 days ..I am so sick not sure if I am going to be able to stay on it . Sugar levels are good"


"I have been drinking and doing various drugs since the age of 13. I am 38 now with three great kids and a husband who thank goodness has never kicked me out. My latest thing has been Percocet, Vicodin, Oxy. Then after a while that stops working so you go to the needle....dilaudid and morphine for over a year. This week I finally said enough! I went to detox and got this amazing drug Suboxone. I left that detox on the smallest dose I could handle, 4mg daily. This drug is going to save my life! I have a sense of peace, a feeling of mental clarity, and NO desire to use anything, including alcohol. Get on Suboxone if you need it....It can save your life! PS. No side effects except mild constipation, but who cares! I finally feel HUMAN!"


"I have insomnia to a point where I only get about eight hours of sleep per week. I tried 25 mg of doxylamine succinate with no luck on getting sleep. I guess I just don't get sleepy for anything. I am afraid to take more than directed."


"I began taking this medication Sunday morning. About 2 hours after I took the first pill. I began having painful stomach cramps that began near my diaphragm and moved all over my stomach. I also started in with diarrhea. Monday after taking it I still had the diarrhea but was also feeling very queasy. This morning I took the last pill I will ever take. I still had the diarrhea, but I  also had an unimaginably painful migraine, and started vomiting uncontrollably. It was so bad that I even aspirated it a couple times because I couldn't stop long enough to take a breath. I was in the ER from 10am-3pm on nausea and pain meds. I have never felt like I was going to die until today. Please be careful while on this medication."


"This shot is ridiculous. Do not get it, you won't stop bleeding.  I got my first and only one in October 2016, I never went back for another one because I couldn't stop bleeding, I gained weight, no sex drive at all, it's awful.  Please don't get it. I can't even have sex because I can't stop bleeding, so why the heck did I get it in the first place.  Again it's ridiculous."


"My Dr. switched me from Risperidone to Geodon because of weight gain. I had taken Geodon back in 2002 and didn't have any side effects that I can recall.  However this time it was a nightmare. As soon as I started taking it I felt sick. The side effects I experienced: Sore throat, cough, sore throat glands, restlessness, acid indigestion, heartburn, belching, depression, rash on my neck, loss of appetite, back pain, joint pain, flatulence, hot flashes, insomnia, unable to stay asleep, exhausted. I was on it for 2 1/2 weeks. My Dr. told me to stop cold turkey. The withdrawal was hell.  I was dizzy for a week, hot flashes, chills, shaking, nauseous, vomiting, terrible spasms in my thighs. It took about 8 days for me to feel better."


"I've been on paragard since Aug I've been on my period since I've only stopped a total of maybe 3 weeks out of 6 months horrible. What can  I do helpppppppp"


"Starting weight 194 3 weeks later 181. Very few side effects,fill up faster curbs cravings and  I am happier!"


"My 8 year old has been on abilify for almost a year now.  She has gained about 30 lbs, but she is very active and still fit.  She is autistic and has severe aggression tendencies toward herself and others. She had been on respiridol before and it did nothing for her.  Now, she takes 11 ml and we increase it 1 ml every four weeks until she is more stable.  She has greatly improved on this medication but still has a long way to go."


"I have had Mirena for about 9 months now. I do not use it for birth control as my husband is fixed. :) I use it for bleeding control. I would bleed myself into anemia on my periods. It has stopped that completely. I only spot for a day or two. The side effects I feel is lower sex drive, gained 10lbs, and it was painful to insert with mild cramping. I do get headaches, cramps and sore breasts when I ovulate but that is it. I like it and it has helped the bleeding now I just wish I could get my sex drive back and loose weight. Guess it's time to go to the gym and eat healthy.  :)"


"I have PTSD with panic attacks. When these come on it's terrifying to say the least! I take half a tablet and about 30 mins later I am calm. It has truly been a life saver for me. Like a lot of people here I went to the ER 3 times thinking I was dying all tests revealed nothing wrong with me."


"I have been taking Cymbalta 60 mg for about 3 years. At the beginning, I was lightheaded and actually lost about 10 lbs. Over the last year or so, I have become increasingly lethargic - just tired all of the time and have gained about 15 lbs. Have decided to wean off to get some energy back and hopefully lose some weight. It worked for my depression for a while, but has lately lost a lot of effectiveness."


"I LOVE this BS!!! This is the first BC I've ever taken in my life, I'm almost 26. I have been on it for about a year now and I've NEVER had any symptom or negative side effect. I've lost weight instead of gain, no acne, no pain in legs or any other part of my body, no cramps, and no spotting either. I haven't had my period since I've been taking this pill. I'm not pregnant either haha. It's the best thing that's happened to me! I highly suggest taking this form of BC, it's been nothing but amazing for me."


"My close friend's very healthy 12 year old daughter was on Solodyn for what I would consider mild to moderate acne.  A few weeks ago she started having significant stomach pain.  They thought it was lactose intolerance, then maybe gluten intolerance.  The pain worsened.  Then she became severely constipated.  The doctors did all types of GI testing.  She began vomiting uncontrollably for days on end.  Only upon going to the ER did they find after some blood work specifically checking for liver problems, that she had elevated enzymes.  Scans showed liver enlargement.  They took her off of the Solodyn.  A few days later her liver is showing improvement and she can eat a bit.  Official diagnosis was drug induced liver damage from the Solodyn."


"I was put on this pill to help out with my crazy emotions that I get about a week before my period. I almost done with my first 3 month dose and I have found that I have a big increase in my appetite. I have been experiencing more severe migrains and I get dizzy/lightheaded for a couple of minutes quite often. My skin has been breaking out with little pimples that are coverable but I can feel them and have never been there before. I have been on a variety of pills and this one has seemed to give me the most side effects. Since I have been on this pill I find myself getting extremely emotional about little things."


"This worked great for me until my Doctor retired and the new Doctor taking over patients wont prescribe it.  Now ringing in ears is back in full force."


"2 months ago I refused to be seen without makeup on infront of my family and friends in my OWN home, I was at a  loss and had visited the doctors numerous occasions to try and sort it, I had been on everything from creams to antibiotics and EpiDuo was my last option then I'd be referred to a specialist. Initially I hated the stuff, it burned my face like really really bad sunburn and I was constantly red but I persisted, now 2 months later I walked through  Birmingham Grand Central on a busy day with not a scratch of makeup on and felt completely comfortable with my skin! My friends asked if I had makeup on and were so shocked when I said no! I still have a few acne scars but they are dying down as the months go by, it's great"


"I have severe migranes I whould say on a monthly basis and usualy they give me in the  ER room morphine thru the IV but one time the doctor decided to give me this Reglan which change my life in to the worst ! I do not know how this medicine can treat something  ! I felt like burning sensation first in to my stomach and then I started to think that I'm going to die because I wanted to pull out the IV and I was restless , shaking , panicking , anxious and I wanted to pull put the IV line.  The nurses looked at me like I was possessed by demon ! After one year I still feel anxious and weird I know this med change my life in to the worst !"


"Zoloft has helped me to be more social and therefore make more friends. It also makes me feel less awkward and just overall more happy."


"Started having migraines about ten years ago. The only treatment that has ever worked for me is Depakote. Everybody is different, but for me this was a Godsend. Nothing worked and Topomax was only a temporary solution. The thing is that after a two month regiment my headaches completely went away. I stopped taking the medication for two or three years before my migraines returned. I went on another regiment and again I went several years without a headache. Yes, I did have slight weight gain, and yes it did affect my ability to perform sexually, but I did not have to continue taking it for more than 3 months. Cysticercosis as a child and a catalyst of factors cause my headaches. Depakote works."


"I started on Lomaira about a month ago and I've lost 25 lbs about 10% of my body weight. Ive been dieting and doing light exercise.

I don't have any side effects and I take the full dose 3x a day. Hopefully I will continue to lose weight. Price isn't too bad and way cheaper than anything else my doctor recommended."


"I love this birth control. Cleared up my acne, no mood swings, no weight gain, and light periods that happened like clock work!"


"Awesome, wipes out blisters due to poison ivy, in two days."


"I started taking Contrave on 5/4/17. I've GAINED 2 pounds. It is not worth the $165 it costs. It does nothing to suppress my appetite and gives some monster headaches. It also gave me no energy at all. It actually does the opposite, makes me so sleepy I can barely hold my eyes open. The side effects have subsided some but are still noticeable. I won't refill the prescription and am only taking the remainder because I paid so much for the pills. I only wanted to drop 20 pounds but this isn't the diet pill for me."


"I can tell an immediate difference when using this medication."


"I'm currently wrapped up under my sheets wanting to cry , I can't take this anymore . Feeling mild burning but inside my vagina ITCHES!!! It's that bad !!"


"If Advair is causing side effects in your mouth and throat, TRY RINSING AND GARGLING WITH SALT WATER immediately after using Advair.  This simple process has made Advair tolerable.  And like my doctor says, "You must breathe". "


"I am 54 years old with severe COPD, I have been in and out of hospital over the past 3 years. It seemed no matter what I did or took, within a week or two of leaving the hospital I started having exacerbations reaching desperately for my nebulizar rescue treatment several times a day. A month ago I was given samples to try for a month. I haven't used the nebulizer for maintenance (4 times a day) nor needed a rescue treatment since using this medication. BUT at the end of the month the pain in my joints has brought me to tears, I've had very little energy and having nightmares every night.
I am to try another medication for a month, hopefully I'll still be able to go without needing to use the nebulizer treatments and less side effects"


"Nucynta has worked very well for all my aches and pain, from the most severe to those I didn't even know I had.  At first, it did make me groggy which was a problem, but I kept taking it anyway because it did take away most of my pain.  After a couple of months of use, it takes away my pain, just like it did at the beginning, but I no longer feel sleepy.  I feel energetic, happier and am able very active because I hardly feel any pain.  I highly recommend it, but you do have to give it a chance because once your body adapts to it, the adverse effects far outweigh the benefits."


"I started using Phendimetrazine 35mg about 8 weeks ago.  I lost 20lbs.  I was amazed at the results but I also take additional supplements and vitamins too.  I'm being seen by 2 doctors.  One takes care of my general health, the other weight management.  I started out at 190 lbs and now I'm at 170 and counting. I recently started taking the 105mg.  I'm not used to it yet.  It really suppressed my appetite.  If I didn%u2019t think to eat, I wouldn't have.  I must keep my metabolism active.  What I don't like about it is it keeps me awake and I don't get good sleep at night.  I was told to take the 105mg and then the 35mg at dinnertime if needed.  If you have a hunger issue, 105mg is the one for you. Its serious but please eat a little. It works though."


"The pharmacy made an error last month, accidentally giving me Zarah vs. my regular Vestura.  I don't know what it is about this pill, but my body went haywire -- mood swings, swollen tender breasts, a few lbs. weight gain (even though I am on a strict 1500 diet that didn't change), fatigue, sensory changes (smell/taste).  My partner and I were both convinced I was pregnant until my period finally came!  On the plus side -- my skin looks amazing and no spotting like I get on Vestura..but these side effects are too much!"


"I took Cymbalta for 7 weeks for post-partum anxiety/depression. After the initial week of feeling nausea and fatigue, I started to feel better. I stayed on 30 mg, but found after 5 weeks I was having vivid, disturbing dreams, insomnia, sweating, and the anxiety came back.

I started tapering off, and even at the low dose the withdrawls are quite uncomfortable - after tapering and stopping the drug I still get a buzz/pulse/shock like sensation in my head almost constantly after a week. Great if it helps, but hard to get off!"


"I was given Atenolol for rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure, I was on recruiting duty and had started these problems, plus I started to have migraine headaches several times a week.  When the army doctor started treating me for the rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure, my migraines stopped. I seldom get any migraines now. I've been taking Atenolol since the mid 1980's. The Atenolol was a miracle drug for me."


"Quit using Trulicity after 5 shots.
Had every side effect in the book. Always nauseous, stomach pain, diarrhea, no appetite at all. Just felt like I was sick with the flu. Lost 7lbs in those weeks because I could not bring myself to eat.
Also, sugar readings were not impressive - were brought down somewhat but still spiked after just eating a little bit. Had expected more since it said it would cause pancreas to produce insulin after eating."


"I had gotten addicted to Lortab and ask my doctor to take me off it because I just hated not being in control of a medicine. I have Fibromyalgia, so I needed something that would help. After different meds, that did not work, he gave me a shot of Toradol, I was amazed when it took effect! For the first time in a long time my whole body felt pain free. You would think miracle medicine, right? Well, it was however, the side effects of constipation and upset stomach, bloating, heartburn, not urinating enough, the medicine scared me (he also gave me the Toradol pills). I have an appoinment with my doctor tomorrow and I hate that I will have to be taken off this med. If you have great relief with no side effects, it is great!"


"I'm 50, I quit drinking 3 years ago, and have been on meds for high blood pressure, and high Cholesterol. I had shoulder surgery in January, and the pain has been terrible. I have been taking pain meds. I have had no desire, or no ability to perform sexually over the past couple years. My doctor tested and my T was only 100. Extremely low. He started me on the patch, and after 3 days, I haven't noticed much change, I'm hoping it kicks in, and I get the results I am looking for. My insurance does cover all but $30, so that's a plus. Hoping for the best."


"Levaquin and sunlight do not mix. Cover up if you are outside while taking it. Otherwise you will burn and burn quickly. But the stuff works."


"I used to take 75mg 2x a day and quit. I felt like it was not working and had terrible side effects.
After 6 months of not taking medications, and situations got hard to cope, I asked to be put back on.
The second time around, the 75mg had me very nervous, anxious, dizzy and "dopey". The doctors said that the immediate release is harsh on your system and switched me to 150 mg XL. And just 3 days in to the new dose, I do not have such harsh side effects. The only side effects I have is no appetite, dry mouth and vivid dreams.
Overall, I am no longer having obsessive negative thoughts (which triggered my anxiety), so I'm overall not as anxious or having panic attacks. I feel more motivated and energetic, but its only 3 days in on this dose."


"I've been on this medication more times than I can remember and it always works wonderfully. The only side effect is some sleepiness but make sure to drink enough water and have a little caffeine."


"I started to take pristiq 100mg 9 days ago. For the first day i got dizzy and throwed up 1 time. For the first week i felt so good. I woke up early and very prepared to work. Also could stop smoking for 7 days. After 7 days i became with the bad mood like i was before and smoke again. I will keep taking this medicine to see the results and i hope that my depression go away and stabilize"


"When I first got on the pill I saw no real side effects. In the second month my period was all over the place but has regulated and become lighter and shorter since. I did see bad acne underneath my skin right after my first period but that lasted a day and since my skin has been clearer. My breasts are increasing in size. And I have yet to get pregnant. I haven't had any mood swings or depression. I still have a great sex drive and have had a great experience with this pill. Weight wise I've lost a couple pounds in the 3 1/2 months I've been on it despite my Poor eating habits. My friend didn't have a good experience after the first month and stopped. But birth control messes with hormones so it'll get worse before it gets better while you adjust."


"Had my second of three Euflexxa injections yesterday afternoon and am finding that my knee feels better with each shot.  The injections result in a bit of a pinch followed by brief pressure, but are not painful.  Seven years ago, the same doctor who is administering the shots, scoped my knee to shave off bone spurs, vacuum bone chips, perform a lateral release and micro-fracture.  Ultimately, the knee is going to have to be replaced, but I'm hanging my hopes on Euflexxa for several years of additional relief before taking the jump to surgery.  The downside is that my insurance company, Regence, will no longer cover Euflexxa beginning July 1, 2015.  I intend to write a letter recounting my success to appeal for continuing coverage."


"I got the nexolanon implant in September 2015, yet I'm still having side effects. My periods are incredibly irregular, either having them one after the other immediately or not having any at all for at least 4 months. When I do get my periods, they're either extremely heavy or barely even there. The cramps I get are unbearable, so if anyone wanted nexplanon.... don't even bother thinking about it."


"At 24 after struggling with hormonal chin acne (that flared before period) and occasional breakouts in my t-zone, my derm prescribed 65mg Solodyn, and Retin A in conjunction with a cleansing routine 2x a day using Cerave followed by Simple Smoothing Toner. At first, I did not see much improvement.  Then at the one-month mark, all hell broke loose; I broke out like crazy for 2-3 weeks, huge zits in areas of my face that were not previously a problem.  I was embarrassed and ready to call it quits, but after reading about it getting worse before it got better, I ordered my refill and decided to give it time.  Suddenly, 1.5ish months in, success! No new breakouts (fingers crossed), and I even just started my cycle. Patience is the key w/ Solodyn"


"Provigil is one of, if not the most effective medicines I have ever been prescribed. I had never heard of it when my doctor prescribed it. At first, I took 100MG 1-2 times a day. Now after 3  years, I take 200MG 2 times daily. "


"I was recently prescribed this medication for migraines. I used it for the first time a few days ago for a migraine that lasted 11 hours. I took four doses over that time and experienced no relief at all. In fact, it made feel even worse- all spacey sick and dizzy- and not in a nice way. The only pain killer that has ever worked for my migraines was Demerol, and I don't see my doctor giving me that any time soon. Such a shame since Butorphanol sounded so good being a strong narcotic nasal spray, I was really hoping it would work."


"I had a herniated disc and take Percocet 5/325 to manage pain and it makes it possible for me to have a good day. If you dont stay ahead of the pain then u will have a difficult time getting the pain back under control. I have been on percocet since August 2012 and dry mouth and sweating are my side effects. I take fernagan for naseau and upset stomache. I take with my dosage of 1.5 tablets every 8 hours. I worry about withdrawal but the pain made me nonfunctional. It is the lesser of two evils. I had back surgery but my nerve was " mangled" so my recovery time is longer than expected."


"I was put on viberzi. Took one pill before bed on Tuesday and one before bed on Wednesday 75mg each. To say this has been a nightmare is an understatement. Within an hour of the second pill I had severe abdominal and back pain. Also, pain that went into the right side of my chest. It is 12:00 Thursday and I haven't taken another pill nor will I, but I am completely worn out and still in full pain throughout my body. I was so hopeful for this. Be careful!"


"I began seeing my doctor for neck problems, I cannot take oral NSAID'S due to Crohns disease so my doctor suggested to try them as an alternative. I had every test run from an Ortho and Neurologist with no reasoning for my neck problems other than Fibro.  Sometime the back of my neck swells around two nerves on both sides that go into my arms and head, I've tried every narcotic there is but nothing but a Flector patch helps. Recently I had a very extensive knee surgery with an 8-12 month recovery time and once the incision healed I was given the okay to use these, they helped tremendously. I now have an injury while recovering and they are my life saver once again. They are very expensive but worth every penny."


"Abilify worked wonderfully for me when taken with Effexor, if it weren't for the restlessness I felt I'd still be on it."


"Have had migraines since I was in my 20's. Like many have said I was given Toradol, Cafergot, Darvocet, birth control pills, Elavil, Inderal and nothing worked. Have had to go to ER at least 2-3x yearly over the years. Twenty years ago I had a severe neck injury and closed head injury after a car accident and my migraines went from a monthly occurrence to daily. I was also given the nerve block shots at the base of the skull. My ER visits increased to several times a year. Finally, a co-worker who also suffered from migraines asked if I had ever tried Excedrin or been prescribed Fioricet. I hadn't, so I asked my doctor and he wrote a script for it. That was 20 years ago and I haven't had an ER visit since. I am 60 now."


"NUVIGIL works excellent on treating my clinical depression resistant to an antidepressant such as Zoloft. I have never felt so much in control, until I took NUVIGIL."


"Eyes are much less irritated.  Still have occasional pain from dry eyes, especially at night, but am only using other eye drops every half hour in evenings instead of every few minutes all day long.  I keep vials in refrigerator and am able to use 1 vial for 2-3 days, so cost is not prohibitive."


"Was put on this medication by my GP having used patches, and inhalers to no avail."


"DO NOT GET THIS INJECTION.

After the injection I was bleeding constantly for 4 months afterwards, I could not even have sex because it was like I was on my period every single day. After the 4 months of bleeding it finally stopped for about 3 days, then once again I was bleeding, I'm still bleeding and I see no sign of it going away. PLEASE DO NOT GET THIS INJECTION."


"Good results but I have hot flashes when I take it."


"I've battled with booze for 20 years ten years ago started taking revia was taking it wrong started drinking than took the pill felt weird as hell quit/ next time take naltrexone monday though thursday no drinking get tanked on weekends lasted 3 months/ had 4 captain and cokes had my son in car decided to race aferrari 110 mph in a 30 mph zone hated myself. spent $ 1200 got a shot of vivitrol stayed sober for 34 days really worked started back easy got up to a handle every 3 days was outta control went to detox .day i got out had campral in medicine cabinet take 2 pills in morning 2 pills at 5pm 2,5 mg valium and 5mg valium at 9pm been sober for four months lost 25 pounds everybody notices the difference trust me this really works and its easy"


"I started NuvaRing when I was 15, I don't trust the pill and have only had nuvaring,(recently switched to skyla.) I was on NuvaRing for 5 years. I liked it. It did get a little annoying because it would sometimes start to hang low due to certain sex. Helped with cramps, but periods got confusing. Found out  I misused for a few months to a year, messed up my timing on my calendar. But I was still fine. I recommend it."


"I've been taking Camrese Lo for about a month now I haven't had any serious side effects like nausea heartburn or abnormal bleeding. But I have been getting some acne which is actually very inconvenient being that I'm going away in 2 days. These aren't just little pimples you pop and have no worries but they're sore pimples that give headaches. I don't normally have pimples so this is a lot for me. Other than that it's pretty okay just the acne is a complete blow."


"I was prescribed gabapentin for sleep 200 mg. This is my first week giving it a go, I will post back after one week. I have been ulta sensitive to other given, I am hopeful this one will work. My sister takes it for nerve pain with success..."


"Have been on Cymbalta for 6 months and no side effects but no help for fibromyalgia BUT wonderful for depression and anxiety (was previously on Prozac for 13 years).  I take 1 x 20mg in the morning.  I recently started using Ultram 100mg SR as well and the combination is unbelievable as I have had fibro for 35 years (only diagnosed 16 years ago).  I have a life, I may be able to clean my house, go out with friends.  I hope this could work for you."


"I was diagnosed with genital herpes 30 years ago. My ex-husband gave it to me knowing he had it. He was having active sores but didn't tell me. I found out after my doctor did a test years later. At the time the only thing available was an ointment. It helped but I was having outbreaks about every 6 weeks & miserable. I was not sexually active during my outbreaks & only had one partner who knew. He did not get it. Generic acyclovir pills became available at a price I could afford, I started taking 400 mgs twice a day. I've been on it for 8 years &!have not had one outbreak. It's been great & I don't have side effects. I have MS which is an autoimmune disease. It may be why I had such severe outbreaks. I'm not ever going to stop taking it."


"I have had the Mirena in for a year now. I'm 29 and I haven't had babies. I've tried all sorts of birth control pills and Nuva-Ring. All they ever did was cause depression and mood swings. Mirena on the other hand has been a blessing to my uterus. I had slight cramping the first day or two and since then my periods have disappeared, I haven't had a period in 6 months, no monthly symptoms either. Mr. Mirena deserves a trophy and a million dollar mansion for his kind help."


"With Lutera I had a good experience. I had light but regular periods. My only complaint was I got horrible headaches right before my period and during my period. My cramps were tolerable if at all. I did not notice any weight gain and my moods were pretty regular. I only switched to something different because the headaches were too much and I got a new doctor and she said that there were too much hormones in this and lowered my dose of estrogen with a different birth control."


"Started taking phendimetrazine last Tuesday opted to be part of a study that a friend of mine told me about. I'm 5'9, 144lbs - by no means overweight. Yet, I was trying to shed just 10-15lbs to get back down to the weight I once loved and felt my best at. 2 a day an hour before meals. First day it suppressed my appetite and I was more than a little surprised - thought I hit the jackpot, as I am the queen of snacking throughout the day. 2nd and 3rd day didn't work as well as the first, 4th and 5th day worked good again. Now I'm on my 7th day and today it hardly worked. Not sure what all the back and forth is about because I haven't done anything different. I will say that I've dropped 4lbs in the past week, but I'm also taking water pills."


"Citalopram really helped with my anxiety and depression. It stabilizes my mood and keeps me from feeling the physical symptoms of anxiety which really helps. I don't have constant mood swings and it takes a lot for me to get upset now. I don't really have too many side effects except for sinus problems and constant yawning.. don't know if anyone else experiences this. At first I could not sleep, and the pill made me a little nauseous but if taken with food the nausea goes away and dissipates. I was skeptical about taking antidepressants of any kind since this was my first one and I worry a lot. But this pill has made it easier to deal with things in a non noticeable way. I actually have started feeling like myself again."


"Doctor prescribed a month ago.  Today is my first follow-up and I lost 14 lbs.  Initially, dry mouth, insomnia, and slight headache plagued me.  But after about 5 days, all of that subsided.  I only eat chicken, turkey, and white fish, veggies and fruit while working out for at least an hour, 4 days per week.  After a cup of black coffee in the morning, the only other drink all day is water.  I hope the progress continues.....goal is to lose 40 lbs and keep it off this time!"


"Nothing else has worked. I'm 37 and never had acne until a year ago. This medication was my last option my dr was running out of options but it has helped greatly. It burned at first and looked like I was sunburned but aloe gel or Cetaphil helps greatly without breaking you out. I highly recommend"


"Alright ladies, my experience with Mirena entails no gruesome or terrifying stories that will make you run for the hills. My experience with Mirena has been fairly good.  I got Mirena approximately 6 months ago. Beforehand I was entirely frightened due to the horrible reviews that people post on the internet. But let me just straighten this out. Some people do have bad experiences but those people are the ones who feel obligated to narrate their story to the world.  So I'll be the one to write something positive.  Slight pain during the insertion, nothing worse than cramps.  A month of irregular bleeding. Only to be followed by four months of glorious period free time.  I occasionally get spotting but it isn't anything bad at all."


"I have had some level of depression for decades.  Also have some form of anxiety I have never understood as to why, PG calls it social anxiety. After being prescribed a series of anti-depressants for years I landed on Venlafaxine and have been taking it for 20 years 150 mg by GP  Tried to stop gradually as GP required but found I must need it due to a chemical imbalance rather than a life situation.  Only one minor side effect is dizziness. Can avoid this by eating something and drinking a full glass of water when taking it.  Drink minimum 6-8 glasses of water a day, more if needed as this will also alleviate dizziness.  I don't know how helpful it would be if my life fell apart completely.  But it has worked fine for me all these years."


"I've been taking Benedryl Allergy every four hours today to try to get some relief from my hives, but it hasn't helped at all. The most relief I felt was during an oatmeal bath."


"I have been on fluoxetine for many years. I tried to switch to another medication, but found quickly most of them did not compare to fluoxetine. The only other two medications I have been successful with were Cymbalta, mirtazapine,and Seroquel. I took the Seroquel with the fluoxetine, but I stopped it about a month ago because of the weight gain and high risk of diabetes. I have gone back to the mirtazapine in combination with the fluoxetine and it is working just wonderful! I too have began to see what it is to live a life without so much sadness, worry and obsessive and compulsive thoughts and not wanting to live anymore. I wish all of you the very best of luck."


"I'm currently on my 5th week of Differin. Things aren't looking up. I'm in college and I'm currently interning before I get into med school - this means everyday practical exams and everyday patient evaluation. I've lost all my self esteem - I wish I never went on Differin in the first place. Should I stop it? I was said it took 6-12 weeks to see results, and improvement right after the first month. That never happened and honestly, I no longer want to return to my dermatologist. It was an absolute waste of money and time.  My face is exploding with cysts, especially on my nose. And I hate seeing my patients like this. What should I do?"


"Adderall has been a blessing to me. I take 30mg twice a day and my thinking has become so much more clear. I am now able to pay attention and absorb what is going on around me. I have had no negative side effects except for an occasional night where it might take me an extra 30 minutes to fall asleep. I still have a healthy appetite since taking Adderall. This medicine has made my life so much better."


"I started 5 mg two days ago and I feel better already. No more sweaty palms or burning forehead due to high anxiety! I take it in the morning so I am able to sleep at night. I tried Zoloft and Celexa and could not take either one for more than two days! Horrific side effects for me! I pray each day gets better and better! This is my first time taking an antidepressant. I highly recommend for people with anxiety! Good luck"


"I have suffered from vaginal/vulva pain since menopause started about 5 years ago. I've been treated by various doctors for vulvodynia/interstitial cystitis but my current doctor suggested the Estring because I have obvious atrophy symptoms that could account for a lot of my symptoms. Sadly this product just made my vaginal/bladder issues worse - pressure, irritation and discharge. I waited 3 weeks but finally removed it myself. Hoping I'll start feeling better soon. I wasted $279 to feel even worse. They should consider a redesign with a softer and more comfortable ring and bioidentical estrogen to reduce health risks. I've seen a lot of negative reactions online to this."


"I've been on several different types of seizure medications for the past 18 years when I developed the seizure disorder (due to car accident).  This is by far the best medication I have taken.  I'm not as tired, depressed or lethargic as I was on the previous medications."


"Excellent pain relief, but the side effects made it impossible to continue using it. My dosage was 10mcg. Severe hypersensitivity reactions within two weeks and had to go to ER three times and doctor twice, because of horrible allergic reactions: facial swelling, throat swelling and raw to the point of barely able to swallow and unable to speak, blood pressure and pulse skyrocketed, had to use Epi pen twice in 24-hours, scary. If a person doesn't have side effects with the patch, the pain relief is excellent. If a person has potentially life threatening side effects, as I did, the fact that the patch is providing pain relief is irrelevant."


"I received the Liletta IUD on March 1, 2017. For the first two days, I had severe cramping but no bleeding. However, since having it in, I have experienced almost every side effect, except losing my hair. I also think that it has moved out of place because at times, I can feel it and it is painful. Especially, during my periods. I am considering having it removed."


"Been on Contrave for a month. I GAINED WEIGHT! 4 LBS and terrible side effects, dry mouth and constant headaches for the first two weeks and night sweats which have finally stopped. When I take the full dose, I can't sleep and feel dizzy. I will use up the rest of the bottle and see what happens. Just started the 21 Day Fix and see if I can lose the 4lbs I gained.
Also the Scale Down scale is inaccurate. compared to my weight watchers that is right next to it, Scale Down is 1.5 lb more."


"Useful adjunct to age related Adult Attention Deficit Decline/disorder. Also some additional employment shift differential sleep disorder/narcoleptic (sleepiness on the work site) potential for accidents due to inattentiveness."


"I got on Nexplanon in mid July 2015. The longest I've ever been off of my period since I got it implanted is about 2 weeks. Since I've had it implanted I've gone between 2 to14 days per month with no bleeding, with the average being less than a week. I'm 25, I've never been on birth control before. I have gained about 10lbs, minor acne outbreaks around my upper back. I have experienced pretty regular tiredness and depression. A comment on here mentioned the dark, rust colored bleeding, I experience that regularly. I'm super close to having it removed because of the constant bleeding. No arguing that it works tho. Haven't used protection since I've been on it. And the implantation process itself was not really painful."


"I had my 8th child in Nov/2015.I  received a depo shot before I was discharged. I had a quick break between postpartum bleeding and my period.  Then all sudden now my periods are 2-3 weeks long.  :( I'm on day 9 right now. Still bright red blood with no ending in sight."


"On Aubagio for 18 months. My rating is for oral use and no new recent lesions on MRI results only. Had MS for 12 years, I am 49. Started on Rebif 3 yrs, then Copaxone 1.5, had horrible skin irritation on both so then Tysabri for almost 8 years. LOVED Tysabri!! Unfortunately tested JC Virus + and had too many risk factors so had to go off of it. I am not a fan of Aubagio. All these symptoms are since starting Aubagio: Numbness/tingling in hands/arms, legs/feet, bladder issues, vision issues (can hardly drive at night anymore), no energy, headaches, and overall just do not feel like myself. So far no new lesions, but a host of side effects. Not sure it's worth it. Do your research!"


"I was always the funny fat guy with few dating deals. Well my health last year was not funny and now the best thing that could happen is my gradual weight loss. I am losing about seven pounds a month and after nine months I am on my way. My health has improved on all fronts with just fatigue as the only side effect and that passed quickly."


"Calming and antidepressant effect good. Vivid REM sleep and dreams."


"This is the only product that has worked for me. Can you please improve the taste. Thank You."


"Wellbutrin (bupropion) is the one medicine I have been on continuously. I started on in it 2006. I believe it works, but since I have never been off of it I am not sure. Now that I am on Viibryd as well I am doing much better. The combination of the 2 medicines seem to be doing the job."


"Had colonoscopy September 2017 and was given propofol as anesthesia.  Woke up great after the procedure but nose was stuffy.  Was told oxygen does that as it dries out your nasal passages.  Went home and had reaction similar to a bad cold.  Could not quit sneezing, runny nose, sinus pressure,etc."


"Well, very few side effects for me, but also very little pain relief.  I've been prescribed this several times to treat my chronic pain symptoms as well as a couple of acute things (injuries).  It was basically for the purpose of being able to function. "


"My doctor has me on the six-month regimen. I am on my second month and have had to go to the ER five times since getting this injection. I don't recommend this to anyone I feel ill all the time. Very lethargic, very short of breath, heaviness in the chest, pains in my back and just overall horrible. I had my right ovary and fallopian tube removed due to severe endometriosis and the doctor recommended these injections and said I would have no problem and no buddy that she has treated his head any severe side effects so I guess I get them all. I've missed a lot of work almost losing my job because I just can't function on a day-to-day basis because of the medication. For any of you considering taking this medication please don't it is nothing but toxic"


"My boyfriend and I were in the heat of the moment and didn't pull out, it was the day after my period stopped. He freaked out and I knew I wasn't ready to have another child. I took plan b around 12 hours after it happened. I'm overweight and saw reviews that it doesn't work on women over 175 lbs. I weigh 200. About 2 days after I took the pill I started breaking out on my face. 6 days after I got a period which I am not complaining.  Worked for me!"


"Mirtazapine has been a life saver for me. I have had trouble falling asleep on and off over the last two and a half years mainly because I've been unhappy at work. Just recently I was on zolpidem for 2 months and then switched to mirtazapine when I realised my sleep problems weren't going to get better in the short term. A couple of years ago things were so bad that sleeping tablets didn't even work and mirtazapine was the only medication that got me to sleep. I function normally after about the first 8 days on adjusting to this tablet - day 1 I feel like a zombie but by day 3 I start to feel less like that. Just stick with it for a few days and you will adjust, is my advice. The dosage I take is 30mg or 45mg."


"I developed Serotonin Syndrome.  Diarrhea (to the point of leaking), drowsiness, increased body temp, very blurry vision, looked & felt drunk, bloating, weight gain, dry eyes, red bumps on face, feverish, felt like I was getting the flu, gas, heartburn, craved sweets, no concentration or focus, forgetful, clumsy, insomnia, etc.  Four symptoms showed up during the first week on 10 mg, the rest showed up during the second week (20 mg).  I've been on many anti-depressants over the past 17 years (Zoloft, Effexor, Lexapro & Wellbutrin XR worked the best) but they would all eventually lose their effect.  The only other time I've ever felt this bad in relation to a medicine was when I was going OFF of Lexapro.  Viibryd is a "no" for me!!"


"Hurt a lot to place and got pregnant within three months of using... was not useful to me in any way."


"I've been on Viibryd for a year now. Start up symptoms were upset stomach, diarrhea, and nausea. I got to about 10mg for a week and couldn't handle the nausea. So I backed off to about 5mgs. I had a good improvement and nausea went away. Tried to go back up to 10mg and by the 4th day I had the same results. Keep in mind anti-depressants are very powerful.  I had improvement from just 5 mg. My doc wrote me a script for 20 mg and I cut those into 4. I still have days where I don't feel well, but it has decreased my depression symptoms and panic attacks with minimal side effects. I gained a little weight about 7 lbs. No sexual side effects. Has to be taken with food."


"Taking this antibiotic was fine for around 6 days, and then I was struck with intense nausea. Eventually it ended in me throwing up and unable to eat for a day. My muscles hurt and I had bad diarrhea. Also, my sinusitis was not helped AT ALL."


"Day 2 of taking this medication for chronic constipation.  I feel so much better.  I would usually take Dulcolax, but it hurts my stomach really badly.  This medicine is amazing.  So thankful for it."


"Had the implant a year exact and I've had nothing but problems since January. Severe headaches 21 pound gain in weight and nothing will shift it healthy eating and gym but no loose. And my skin is so bad. Hopefully having it taken out next week. Weight gain has got to me"


"As a teen I never had acne or cramps, and once I became sexually active I started taking a different birth control for obvious reasons. After 2 years with no problems, I went off it because I started getting acne. It was only after I stopped taking it that my skin became TERRIBLE. I'm talking a full chinstrap of god awful acne for months. I then went on Lomedia/Blisovi and it slowly but surely cleared my skin up. However, Lomedia/Blisovi completely stopped my periods. Won't complain about that, but it did result in very heavy, thick, constant discharge. I think it also affected my mood. Not sure if it was life or the pill but I became anxious, moody, and depressed. Never gained weight/had cramps but I'm scared to go off it for acne's sake"


"I took Plan B approximately 12 - 14 hours after unprotected sex. I have been off of birth control for 6 months now. After getting caught up in the moment I freaked out. I was pretty sure I was ovulating based on my cervical mucus, cervical position and cycle calendar. I knew I was pregnant. I literally did not eat or sleep for the following 12 days. I had every pregnancy symptom in the book. Sore boobs started a few days after taking Plan B and continued. I was nauseous, had low back pain, cervix was high soft and closed (classic pregnancy symptom). I took 1-3 pregnancy tests every day. Finally, 13 days after having sex and 12 days after taking Plan B I got my period. I have irregular cycles but it was about 3 days later than expected."


"I have been on Diamox for many years.  Started out with tunnel vision and then found to have pseudotumor cerebri (which my mom has too).  I have even had lumbar punctures to drain the fluid off my brain as well in the beginning.  This medication has worked wonders.  I did have tingling and numbness in my feet, finger, nose, lips but that eased off by taking Vitamin C or eating oranges, (this was recommended by my doctor and it works).  Now the tingling and numbness are gone.  I don't know what I would have done without this medication.  Now all I do is take the medicine once a day and move on with my life.  Please hang in there and don't get discouraged."


"I started on Saxenda on February 14, 2017. My weight was 295 lbs, I am 6'3" tall and 55 years of age. Today it is March 8, 2017. When I began using this product I experienced some sickness, itching and I was very tired however the appetite suppression effect was immediate. As such, I modified my diet to include more healthy and "weight loss friendly" foods. I also upped my doses every 4 days instead of every week as recommended. I am very pleased to announce today that all of the symptoms except the itching have resolved themselves. I have been on a full, 3.0 dose since March 2nd. At this time I am 281.2 lbs,  which is down about 14 pounds. My goal is a 50 pound weight reduction and I feel that with Saxenda this is a very realistic goal."


"I am a 49 yr old male.This is the 2nd time if had diverticlitis(at 40 the first time) I have taken both meds (Cipro an Metron 500ml) this is only thing that helped me. I see that everyone is different. my pain (lower left ab) was unreal.I have been out of work for 3 days.(haven't missed a day in 10yrs) I'm not 100%yet but,the sharp pains are almost gone.I need more fiber and have been told you can heal this."


"I have had an extended bout of situational depression after my mother died.  Abilify definitely helped with motivation for me, so far it has been the best medication in this regard.  However, the constant sensation of heat and flu like symptoms are quite bothersome, (worse than a hot menopausal hot flash) but the insomnia will ultimately prevent me from taking this medication as I need to be able to drive."


"Kremers Urban pantoprazole is the best generic. My pharmacy switched my script to another company but it gave me the worst acid reflex I have ever had. "


"For as long as I can remember, I have been afflicted with that awful "fight or flight" feeling before having to speak or even stand in front of a crowd. My heart would beat SO hard & fast that you could actually see it beating through my shirt! A few months before my wedding, I was getting increasingly nervous about standing in front of everyone and saying my vows. I decided to ask my doctor about a solution and he wrote me a Rx for Propanolol. I took 20mg about an hour before the ceremony, and I have never been so calm in my life. I wasn't even thinking about the crowd, and when I walked down the aisle I was cool, calm, and collected. That drug truly saved me on the most important day of my life. Simply amazing."


"Just recently started taking this for depression, bipolar, insomnia and anxiety. I feel so tired and groggy feeling."


"This drug is currently working for my anxiety that is blood pressure related. I was on Clonazepam and that made me high and groggy but did not help anxiety. Xanax has worked perfectly, reduces my symptoms and no high feeling. The minute I get freaked and have racy thoughts (panic) it curbs it, then I can get on with my day. I have not noticed any side effects and my friends and family have seen improvement."


"Before I took this medication, I had severe social anxiety. I would often stay silent because of hurting someone's feelings or I was afraid of embarassment. I constantly worried about what people thought of me. It was ruining my life. My doctor started me on Paxil but I couldnt take the physical symptoms. When I started taking Lexapro it felt like a huge weight was taken off of my shoulders. I could be myself again! I usually take it at night because it makes me a little drowsy.
 Months later, I got a job working for a school near me as a bus monitor. I ride the preschool and high school buses to maintain safety and prevent bullying. Without Lexapro, I DEFINITELY would have not been able to be in that position before."


"Adderall gives me a normal amount of energy so that I am able to get out of bed and do some housework."


"I have a partially paralyzed left leg due to SCI with extreme tone and strong muscle spasms.  The first time I tried Baclofen the side effects were so severe that I could not tolerate the medicine at all.  The second time I worked up to 60mg per day at 5mg intervals over a couple of months. Virtually no side effects at all this time but it takes a while.  Baclofen with Botox injections to my hip flexor, hamstrings, and dorsiflexor make my situation bearable. Baclofen works well at 20mg, less than the prescribed dosage."


"I'm on the first week and I've been crying for no reason, getting angry at basically the drop of a pen and extremely exhausted and hungry. I hope this changes soon.. I'll give it two months at most, I hope to see an improvement in that time."


"This medicine gave me a kidney stone. They don't run in my family and I have never had one before. The kidney stone got stuck and after several of the most painful weeks of my life thus far I had to have surgery to get it removed. I would gladly suffer from migraines then to ever experience a kidney stone."


"This is honestly the first review I have ever done for any medication.  I generally just get off of something if it isn't working for me....But I wish I had read this review before I had made the choice to get the Nexplanon.  I am a 31 year old woman.  Mother of 3.  Birth Control was no new things to me.  I'm used to a little weight gain, acne, painful periods or none at all.  All while things balance out.  I had the Nexplanon for 18 months after giving birth to my daughter and it was SO HORRIFIC.   Mood swings, anxiety out of control, hot flashes and 50 lbs weight gain.  Within 2 months of getting it taken out I have lost 25 lbs with zero change of diet.  PLEASE do not get this thing.  "


"I'm a 55 year old female, 5'2" and weigh 172.5 lbs.  I'm six weeks in and taking 2 in the am & 2 in the pm.  Week 1, down 4.5 lbs.  Felt extremely giddy and happy.  I'm a pretty upbeat person anyway, but sort of felt like a goofball during week one.  That settled down week 2.  I received my ScaleDown scale and began weighing everyday.  Up a lb, down a lb, staying the same. I feel good on the med, must be the Wellbutrin.  I had a weird thing happened 2 weeks ago.  I ride my own motorcycle and was going about 60 mph, and all of a sudden all I saw was green and crashed on the side grassy area. I'm ok sprained my foot. I think I got dizzy and faded out. Be very careful, I think low calorie intake that day is to blame for the crash."


"Note: This review is solely based on the insertion process as I've only had it inserted today.

I had made the terrible mistake of reading reviews and blogs from other people's experience and the majority of them were so scary! I was terrified.

Finally the day came for insertion and even though I was prescribed misoprostol and was told to take 800 mg of ibuprofen, I ended up doing neither. I went in with nothing but determination to get through it and deep breathing exercises.

Long story short, the entire process was less than 5 minutes from the time the doctor entered until the time they left the room. The actual insertion time was maybe 2 minutes. NO PAIN WHATSOVER! No cramping. So don't be afraid!"


"Wellbutrin (bupropion) is the one medicine I have been on continuously. I started on in it 2006. I believe it works, but since I have never been off of it I am not sure. Now that I am on Viibryd as well I am doing much better. The combination of the 2 medicines seem to be doing the job."


"I was diagnosed with a mood disorder about 5 months ago. I tried Abilify and gained 10 pounds in a week and tried Lamictal but I kept getting the rash on my face, so finally my doctor put me on Saphris. It made a world of difference. It's been 2 months now and I'm no longer on any antidepressants and I have been without any depressed episodes since a week after I started it. I had to start taking 20 mg at night because it made me so tired in the morning. I'm still on Klonopin because I have really bad restlessness still, but I'm slowly phasing that out with lifestyle changes. The bad taste gets better with time and the side effects are greatly outweighed by the benefits. I have and would recommend it!"


"Controls blood pressure great, but having side effects like, constipation, gout, leg cramps, sleepiness, and general fatigue."


"This did nothing to relieve my opioid induced constipation, but I kept taking it for 2 weeks. It made me sick. I had all the awful symptoms of opiate withdrawal and had to take extra medication for pain. It's been 2 weeks since I stopped taking Movantik and I still feel terrible."


"I've lost 53lbs on this product, I started at 265ish now I weight 214.4. Along with a balloon I got put in my stomach but it wasn't helping 1 month after having the balloon I only lost 10lbs and that was just from the surgery and I got sick because of it. It ended up giving me pancreatitis and was in the hospital for 4 days. After that another month went by and my doctor proscribed me phenamine and lost tons of weight! I got off for a month and he proscribed it to me for another month. I'm on my second day of the second round 30 day ct. and I've lost 2 lbs in 2 days. Over all it's a good product. But the side effects are terrible!!! I have really dry mouth and very anger. The first time I took it I almost committed suicide but didn't."


"I had mine in for two months. I got the worst acne and cramps of my life. it did what it said it would do tho.. protect me against pregnancy. I took it out still tho because the mood swings and acne were horrible. I was on my period for a month and it made me v depressed"


"I have had family history from one side of the family(parent) and after a near death accident at 8yrs old my depression triggered. I've been healed (trust me it was bad) but every human being gets attacks hear and there so I decided to use something more organic. St. John's wort works but my tummy is sensitive to it (300mg 3x day) so I've lessen how many I take or take it every other day. I just like having a long term consistent mood. I've been 1 year fine, never used medicines not even Organics until now. "


"I've been taking Sprintec for a couple months and from the first week I started I had horrible acne breakouts.  My periods are longer than they've ever been, even while off birth control and while my cramps aren't as severe during that time I have cramps all the time it seems. At least 3 weeks out of the month.  I have horrible headaches and feel like I might pass out, although I can't say for certain these are from taking Sprintec.  The worst side effect of all is my mood swings. It's sad and scary when out of the whole month the time that I'm the calmest is during PMS and my period.  I snap and get upset with friends, family, and co-workers over things that has never bothered me before. I never had any side effects with my last birth control."


"I was given this by a Mexican doctor after contracting a very nasty bacterial infection with severe diarrhea during a road trip down the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.  Worked great, and we were back on the road after one day."


"I have been on saxenda since October. I weighed in at 215 prior and am now 182.8 pounds (I'm 5'7"). I take a lot of medication to help with chronic depression and tied in with major life events and poor eating I was more and more miserable with my weight that I gained in two years, mostly after my surgery for endometriosis (stage 4) and taking Lupron depo (horrid stuff) I just couldn't shake the weight.  I started this a bit nervous I kept a low dose for awhile, around 1.8 because I had stomach upset but I did take it at night to help with that. I ended up taking the full dose but found 2.4 is more then enough to suppress my appetite. It's amazing I don't think about food and need less to feel satisfied. love it!!!"


"I don't usually review anything online but I really feel like I need to share my experience with this pill. I was on Yasmin for a year and a half and although superficially it was okay (no weight gain, no acne etc), mentally I went crazy and this seems to be the case for a lot of women. I was anxious, my mind was foggy, I was snappy and overly aggressive (which is very unlike me), and generally just didn't feel myself. I then spoke to a doctor following an anxiety breakdown and they said it could've been due to my pill. I recently changed from yasmin to another pill and it has changed my life. I FINALLY feel myself again and I've realised how much yasmin messed me up. I would not recommend this pill or experience to anyone."


"It cause me permanent hair loss."


"I been on Ortho Evra for 2 months now. I love it. The first night I wore it, I had a panic attack. I ripped it off during the night then started wearing a new patch the next day. Since then, no panic attacks, so I'm guessing it wasn't caused by the patch. My breasts were tender but I got used to it, and I love how light my cramping and periods are. I get a pimple or two during the third week, and I am a lot more emotional, but that does not interfere with my personal life. It took some time getting used to wearing the patch, it fell off like three times. Overall its amazing."


"Hi my name's Matt and I would like to share with you my experience of Klonopin 6 years ago I went through what I think was a dramatic life-changing event for me me and my wife work separating for good and everything started falling apart I started to lose weight get out of breath fast then one day I started to have bad thoughts thoughts to hurt myself others even my own family I spent many sleepless nights on the couch for two months I stayed there wanting to die waiting to die then finally one day I got up and went to see a psychiatrist I explained to him he put me on Klonopin after a few yrs I noticed I started having short term memory loss I am currently weaning myself off but it's very hard anyone else experience this"


"I have been taking this medication for about 2 weeks now. It has lowered my blood pressure tremendously, but the side effects are great for me. I am so tired ALL day. This is very unusual for me because I do not sleep during the day. I have found myself laying down about 11am for a nap and not waking up until 4 or 5 pm. Not like me at all."


"The part I don't like about this pill was the first few months I started taking it when I switched from Yaz, it made me gain 10 lbs and it took almost 8 months for my body to adjust to it. The positive part is, I have a very light period (when I have one) and I don't break out like I used to. Now that my body is starting to get used to it, I am losing some of the weight I gained with the initial use of Loestrin. It is a smaller dose of hormones from what I was taking- which helped reduce my migraine count to once a week versus everday."


"I have been on this pill for 8 months and so far i have nothing to Say to but positive things. The only bad side effect is that my appetite has decreased but I have not lost any weight or increased weight. My skin is actually very clear and the most important, no mood swings or depreassion if anything this pill keeps me very calm. However I used to drink a lot of caffeine but I notice that after taking this pill whenever I drink coffee I get very anxious and get mood swings so I decided to cut on the coffeine but I still feel great."


"I got the implant on 2014 it's almost been a year . I've gained about 30lbs, my period comes ones every 3 months. I get horrible cramps . And before I get it I always seem to get a UTI which is horrible. Since I've had it I been really moody with a horrible bitchy attitude. I want it taken out ASAP !"


"The reason the doctor changed me to Livalo is because I was having side effects from the medication I was on. I have had no side effects from Livalo. The only problem I have with it is the cost. Very expensive."


"I had this put in at my post partum check up back in January and I so far love it. I have put on weight, but that's because I boredom eat. I've always had bad adult acne, so I haven't noticed that side effect. My period is wonky, pretty much all of February I had it, and part of March. Have it a few days, gone a few days, etc. I haven't had my period since March though. This has been my favorite birth control."


"I was just prescribed this antibiotic today due to a staph infection in each leg from shaving. My doctor mentioned MSRA, needless to say I'm freaking out over this. Regardless, it's been about 4 hours since I took the first pill - obviously the infection sites haven't gotten any better, but I'm hoping they do. As far as side effects go, I'm lucky so far to only have a little bit of heartburn and slight nausea/loss of appetite. I'm crossing my fingers this stuff works for me!"


"I'm adult woman with fluid buildup.  This medicine cleared up the infection but the fluid is still there.  Moderate side effects of nausea. On to something else..."


"No side effects besides drowsiness. It puts me at a calm to help me think clearer."


"This has changed my life. I used to get really depressed and have wild mood swings. I have been on it for 2 months now, I have been nothing but happy. I don't get really depressed and when I do get down it is barely noticeable and I bounce out of it quick. Highly recommend this."


"I have had the worse case of cold sores for nearly 10yrs now, I use to live by Lysine ointment because I thought it was the best fastest treatment of cold sores compared to the numerous other ones I had tried that made it worse. I've learned over these years that not everyone gets cold sores the same severity, mine are sometimes started on my lip then spread away from lip & onto upper lip or even cheek, form into at least 10 mini blisters leaving incredible damage on face! I had avoided Abreva because of the price at the time (nearly $20),I  couldn't find my lysine so I tried Abreva, it is the overall best coldsore med on the market! PROMISE!"


"I've been on this for a little over a year. This was the first and only birth control I have used so far and I have had a gold experience. I was put on this to help with cramps that were too severe, they were causing me to vomit. Within the first 2 months of using this I started to feel a million times better during my period. Only recently have my cramps become more painful. I'm most likely going to be switched to something with a slightly higher dosage due to my cramps beginning to worsen, but this medication still helped me nonetheness. I do think that it has caused me to have headaches nearly every night though. The headaches are better than the crippling pain of cramps though."


"Made my legs feel like I ran a marathon, And after two weeks on 2 mg it caused lactation. "


"I just started this as a trial to see if it works. Double seroneg ocular MG though EMG showed problems in other muscles. Mild had for a while. Have liver disease so started on quarter of a sixty. On taking it I began to feel better, like relief through my body. I noticed my cheek felt normal not like full of lidocaine. I could smile evenly easier, less diplopia, better able to read, and happier. My ptosis is maybe a tiny bit better. I'm on such a little amount it wore off in a couple hours and I wanted to take more. I get to take more tomorrow. I think if you need it it could provide good relief. If it works time release sounds like the way to go."


"Short life so when its time for next dose you will know it. Works great though."


"My pharmacy switched me from Tri-lo sprintec to this because it was free on my insurance. I am on month 3. For me, the positives are that I've lost the weight I gained on tri-lo sprintec and I am no longer bloated all the time. However my mood, which was even and calm before, changed immediately on this pill. My mood changes in an instant and I've had several breakdowns and severe anxiety which almost never happens to me. I am also starting to experience hair thinning and inflamed pimples all over my chin and cheek area which was never an issue before, not since I took accutane. I am switching after this pack to brand name ortho tri cyclen lo with the hopes that my skin clears back up and my mood stabilizes."


"Had a UTI then then antibiotics made it itch and twitch and overall uncomfortable. Once I realized I had a YI due to antibiotics I tried Monistat 1 for quick results. Absolutely no concerns. I got the pack with the cream and wipes. Love the cream for the outside to minimize the YI itching. Ovule is messier than I realizes. Within 24hours of using i feel 100% better. Would use again."


"I got the Mirena two months ago. It hurt a little when the doctor put it in, and I cramped for about a day afterwards. I had no discomfort after that until I got my period a month later. My period was 2 1/2 weeks long (which has never happened in my life) with weird discharge and a lot of cramping. The main issue I've had with the Mirena is a lot of cramping and brown slimy discharge. I'm hoping it gets better, my Doc says to give it some time."


"It is very effective."


"I've suffered from acne since I was 12 years old. I'm 29 and even as an adult I would get pimples or large boil looking pimples that would last for days. It was really embarrasing. I started taking this medication in lotion form 6 months ago and it works wonders. I haven't had any pimples since. I wish I thought about visiting my Dermatologist sooner."


"Works very well side effects are rough. First side effect I had was retention then shaking then I could not sit still but after a little time on medications for side effects the systems got a lot better. Do not like that I have to get it every two weeks but for me it works really good for me."


"Stepped up to Norco 10/325 over about a 3 year period and have found it to be very effective in treatment of my low back pain. However, after a while my body does build up a tolerance and my doc recently also added tramadol. So far, so good. Awaiting an epidural block to get my legs back from pain.

I haven't had any negative side effects to note."


"I got the Depo-Provera when I got the intrauterine device taken out. I've only had the Depo for three weeks but I've been bleeding everyday and because of being injected with hormones my mood has been awful I've practically broke up with me boyfriend so now it seems I've got the Depo for no reason. "


"First off, remember this is a long term birth control so you have to give your body time to adjust effectively. This device stays in for years! The insertion process was painful for me being I've never had kids so the dr. manually opening my cervix to insert the iud was the worst part. Following the procedure, a friend took me home because of the cramping it caused but after a couple hours I felt okay to drive. There was spotting for a month and slowed down to the point I now spot maybee 2 days a month. I've now had it for 5 months and get cramps from time to time but they arent bad ones. I think my body is still adjusting some. I would overall suggest it to those who are preventing pregnancy more than preventing periods and cramps."


"Amazing! My doctor prescribed this for whenever I felt an infection coming on. It was great and efficient. By morning, there was no more pain!"


"Got a 30 day sample from my urologist.  For me, this medicine is wonderful.  Am taking lisinopril and lovastatin.  Was concerned if the medicine helped after the first dose.  And am happy to say that it did.  It worked well after about one hour.  But my most intense erection was about after 6 hours.  No side effects to speak of unless you can say my face seemed flush afterwards.  Just assumed it was working.  Do not have a perpetual erection but can feel that I am on the verge of one for a while.  Couldn't be happier."


"While this is only my first week on this (will take my 7th pill tomorrow), I gotta say I'm impressed. "


"Rootsgal, they generally say it takes 3-6 months to have full effects. It takes time to rebuild the vaginal tissues."
