"I've been on 2mg Klonopins for 5 years now and it works great for my mood swings caused from bipolar disorder and it also works great for my anxiety and paranoia. It relaxes you and works good for stress also Klonopin works really good for several different things."


"It was a miracle medicine for me, but it caused an extreme break of Pustular Psoriasis, and I had to discontinue the medicine. Apparently it is one of rare side effects of the drug."


"I just started my Accutane today. My biggest concern right now is that he prescribed me with 10mg a day. Which I think is a very low dosage considering my cystic acne and the inflammation I showed to him. And also I saw some other people got 40mg to kick start their accutane. I'm wondering if anyone here had any experience with this low dosage of accutane before? Will it be effective?"


"I have been on Gianvi around three years. I had always had extremely painful periods with clotting that would last 7 days since puberty, and really did not know how abnormal what I was experiencing was. Suddenly, in my mid twenties, I started having two periods a month, then they would last almost two weeks at a time. I was either having horrible pms or bleeding 100% of the time. Originally, dr had me on Apri. After 6 weeks of nonstop bleeding, dr switched to Yaz, which switched to Gianvi a few months later. The bleeding stopped, and each period got lighter and less painful. However, it did take two years for my periods to actually fall on inactive pill days."


"I do like Lamictal as it kind of kept my seizures under control but the side effects on my body and the fact that I still had grand mal seizures more frequently than never I decided to try medical marijuana. I am very pleased to say the the high strains have kept my seizures away entirely."


"I'm almost done with my first bottle of the 30 day supply and as others mentioned it literally almost feels as though you never had asthma. I haven't had the need to use any of my inhalers or steroids since I took montelukast, but I have noticed that my memory sometimes gets foggy and I have forgotten many things (I'm 21 btw) shortly after taking this medication. I have not noticed any of the side effects that others have experienced so i have yet to find out if they will affect me later on.I decided to get one refill of the med and then come off of it once I'm done since I normally hate depending on meds to live a normal life. I'll be back and explain any issues I experience in the next couple months."


"My Neuro prescribed Amitryptyline for anxiety, he said. Because he felt that anxiety was a contributing factor to my cluster headaches that never seem to stop. I have tremendous thirst with it. The only thing that seems to fix the thirst is 7up. So I drink a bottle or 2 a day. Too much sugar and now I get diarrhea---the worst kind---up to 5 or 6 times a day. But I noticed my headaches weren't appearing....until the weather changed and rain came. I have been down all day. Not in excruciating pain tho like usual. Cut my pills in half and the thirst issue is better. Less 7up. Still diarrhea though (today was 3x). Been on it (Ami) for 7 weeks. 3 doctors I have consulted have said diarrhea is not really a side effect of this med."


"Today was my first day trying the drug....I got a headache, stomach ache and 0 pain relief, darn it!  Was trying you get off Robaxin which works great except I am losing a lot of my hair from it.  Both of these drugs have a high percentage if you are over 60, darn it again!"


"Was prescribed this by my urologist to help with BPH after trying Flomax and hating the retrograde ejaculation.  He told me it would also help with my blood pressure that was slowly getting higher.  What a difference.  Very few night time trips to the toilet.  My B/P is perfect.  And I also noticed a nice side effect that isn't listed- it helps with my erectile dysfunction.  No priapisms, but I found that I could maintain an erection better than I had in years.  I prefer to take mine in the afternoon, so I have that effect in the evening, when it is most needed.  Not a substitute for my Viagra, but since I can only afford so many of them a month, it's nice to have any help with the issue.  With all of those benefits, you just can't go wrong"


"At least for my body, this pill was horrible. I read so many great reviews on having light cramps and moods are fine and no swelling but this pill has done complete opposite for me. My hands have shown signs of swelling lately, my moods are beyond horrible and scary, and my cramps have been bad. Looking to switch pills here soon."


"I started taking Klonopin recently, and I'm mixing it with Vybriid and Lamictal. It helps so much. At night it takes the edge off. I take 0.5mg, sometimes 1mg to help me out more. I haven't had as bad of racing thoughts while I'm trying to fall asleep and I end up sleeping like a baby. The after effects is a little bit of groggyness but it's worth it. The only thing that bothers me is that I feel like smoking cigarettes after I take it. Overall, it's great and stops the mania as well as depression."


"Really great.  The combo pill made me sick as a dog and my weight ballooned, but I feel amazing on this pill.  I had just started on a diet when I switched and I am still losing the same kind of weight as before the pill."


"I was supposed to take it 3x's a day, after two doses I began to experience severe side effects. My heart was racing, I couldn't sit still, I couldn't control my eyes. They were rolling around, I couldn't focus on anything. I only took two doses of the medication before I stopped, not even a full days worth. The side effects (inability to focus my eyes) remained for over a week after I stopped taking it."


"Very good but caused cystic acne!! Very horrible acne!!! I went 3 years but got it again..it works well other than acne. My period is pretty much normal. Sometimes I've forgot I had the birth control!!"


"Took almost 3 months of this pill. First month went fine. Almost no side effects. felt less hungry during first month. 2nd month - felt nauseous at times, slight headaches. Bleeding was very light , lasted maybe 1 day or 2. 3rd month - started having stomach pains- and lower back spasms. Couldn't find other cause of spasms -  I had no injury etc. Until I found a rare side effect of this med could be spasm. Stopped taking pill midway of the 3rd month couple days ago...haven't felt a spasm since. Back to square one"


"I got my Skyla inserted 4 days ago, I was so nervous to go through with it after spending countless hours reading other people experiences. The doctor told me she would stop at any point if the pain became too much to handle. The whole procedure lasted maybe 5 minutes at most. I did not feel a single thing and actually had to question if she truly finished. I did not experience any cramps for the first 12 hours but once they kicked in they were no different than period cramps, a little ibuprofen here and there and everything was fine. Bleeding has ranged from light to barely even spotting but my period tends to last a week so it may just be from that. So far I am very happy with my decision to get it. DON'T LET THE BAD EXPERIENCES WORRY YOU!"


"COPD, hospitalized. Acute breathing problem, 3 times.
Last time, used with steroid and am now maintaining at 4 litres oxygen, 24hrs a day."


"I have been on Paxil for a long time, years.  I was hospitalized for my Bipolar Disorder and they increased the dose from 20-40mg.  I got very agitated and very out of sorts.  When I saw my psychiatrist she put the dose back to 20mg and I'm doing good again.  More isn't always better!"


"I've been on Fentanyl patches for over a year. Even at 100mcg, I'm still in pain. I was on Dilaudid (Hydromorphone) for break through pain, but it did not help because I was tolerant to it. I currently take Opana (Oxymorphone) instead, which does help some.

I do not believe my pain can ever be fully managed, since I am in severe pain in over 8 areas. They say they have me on the two strongest medications, so they can't do anything more. I've been told to switch doctors since most of the people at the office quit, but I'm afraid the next one will be worse.

A problem with Fentanyl is on the 3rd day I went through withdrawal symptoms because the medicine only lasted 2 days for me. Another problem is the strong chemical smell when you sweat"


"Had an injection into my knee due to osteoarthritis.  I am scheduled for knee replacement but there is 1 year wait for surgery.  Before injection I could not sleep due to throbbing pain and after injection this is gone.  My overall pain is significantly reduced.  I had no adverse reaction to the drug."


"I was on 150 mg Zoloft for about 2 years. It worked fairly well at combating my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and depression however, it gave me horrible insomnia/nausea. I probably would've given it a seven if it weren't for the side effects. They're just something that everyone who takes it should be aware of."


"I was given this prep when I tried to get a colonoscopy for the 2nd time. The first time I was prescribed moviprep and I kept throwing it up. It was terrible tasting and so much liquid to drink. Because I couldn't keep it down I had to reschedule the colonoscopy. Moviprep made me incredibly sick to my stomach.

My doctor gave me suprep in hopes that would work better and it certainly did. It does taste like cherry cough medicine but only is 16 oz to drink at a time. I read other reviews and mixed mine with half Gatorade frost and half water. Let's be real, no prep is going to taste decent. I would recommend just chugging it down.

I had no nausea but it might have helped that I took a Dramamine about 45 minutes before each dose."


"Badly strained shoulder muscle; no relief after 4 days of ice & Aleve.  Forked out the $$ to see my doc, & he prescribed diclofenic sodium TBEC 75 mg. Overnight relief!  Second day, feels almost healed!!!  The only reason I didn't give it a 10 is because I have to eat a really good size meal to avoid nausea, & of course I need to lose some weight. But otherwise, bless you,  Doc!!"


"This past Wednesday my right nostril was a little sore, figured I was a little overly aggressive with the allergy early morning blowing.  By Friday 3:30 am I woke up to stabbing pain all on the right side of my face!  Swollen and the tissue was HARD, nasal passage (where the infection started) was 3/4 closed!  Today is day 4, my face is pliable again, still a little stiff close to my right nostril, but my lips, cheeks and eyes feel great, nostril very slightly tender in comparison to Wednesday.  This Avelox works only problem I've had is dry mouth (drinking plenty of water) and a little light headed/dizzy, but I'm not driving so that's okay!"


"Restasis has been nothing short of a miracle for me!  My eyes hurt, were extremely dry, had bumps under my eyelids and terrible allergies and inflammation.  In the morning my eyelid would stick closed and I would have to open it slowly and add gel drops.  I was on 4 things a day for my eyes and they were not getting much better.  I run a humidifier because the dryness from running the heat in the winter seemed to make my eyes worse.  I could not wear my contact lenses as it was torture.  After being on Restasis for 3 weeks, I am 80% better.  I use Systane Ultra gel drops when I go to bed at night and my eyes are so much better in the mornings when I wake up.  I am now wearing my contact lenses again, but, not as long during the day as I used too.  Grateful!"


"I have been taking Flexeril 10mg in Combination with Celebrex 200mg. I take both PRN and they work great. I started in 2005 on both meds from a accident at work. Now I also have Fibromialgia , RA and Osteoarthritis. I continue to take flexeril at night and it works great for me. I use a heated mattress pad and flexeril to sleep comfortable and I wake up with less stiffness and not as sore."


"Started taking nortriptyline for chronic pain and noticed all my IBS with diarrhea symptoms were gone!! Bonus! It was so dibilatating and painful, I was miserable. Constant pain, bloating, cramping. This drug has saved my life! It also treated my chronic fatigue. For most people it makes them tired but for me it was the opposite. So very thankful. Three problems fixed with one medication! However, it has increased my heart rate and worsened my anxiety. And also squashed my sex drive. That sucks! But the benefits out weigh the negative."


"Just started taking this medicine, and so far I have sleeplessness. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't."


"Been on Zovirax for 15 years.  It barely worked when I started using it for genital outbreaks, absolutely does not work now.  Three prescriptions of 800mg x 3 times per day has not slowed down or even put a dent in a 4 month long outbreak."


"I have taken regular Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) & now Dramamine II (meclizine).  Both are great products.  I have no side effects except for slight dry mouth/nostrils, but this is a condition I am prone to without taking meclizine. "


"I have suffered with pain for many years and have tried almost everything. I started Opana in January of this year.  In February my platlet count dropped to 3,000 with an equally low white count. This happened again in May. I have also had many gastrointestinal problems. The doctors after many tests can only say that Opana looks like the cause."


"I have been using the medicine for the past 8 days and it has shown results so far by controlling the spreading of vesicular tinea pedis."


"ParaGard works great for me! I've had it for about 8 months now and no problems!! I would highly recommend for those of you who don't want to deal with annoying hormone treatments!"


"Definitely works but it did leave me with some acne that took awhile to heal and if I happened to miss a pill I would bleed for a few days until my body got back on track. I have been using it for about a year and just switched to monanessa in hopes of helping with my acne. All in all I did enjoy Chateal besides the spotting and mild mood swings."


"I got this birth control a year and a half ago, for the first year it was great no period or anything did have some

Weight gain... About 15 Pounds and it hurts in my arm and took away my sex drive, after a year I stared having my period monthly and they would last TWO WEEKS or more. It made me extremely irratble and moody and now I have to take the pill and have the bar in to regulate my period which didn't help my moodiness what so ever. I feel like I'm constantly hungry and I'm active in the gym and feel like I haven't lost any weight over an  8 month period. I do not recommend this to anyone"


"I suffer from chronic migraines and I have seen multiple neurologists and have tried numerous medications. Treximet was the first that actually got rid of my migraines. Within half an hour my migraine is gone. Treximet is expensive but for me it is well worth it."


"I normally take xanax to get off to sleep, but here lately I have been taking it in the day time as well, because I get panicky through the day now as well. Wish this anxiety would just go away and stay away. Have an appointment with a psychologist but I really don't think it is psychological."


"I have been prescribed Gabapentin for insomnia. For the last 2 years I have taken it nightly at bedtime 2000mg + 12.5 mg zolpidem ER + .25 mg of alprazolam.  I find the zolpidem + alprazolam put me to sleep and the gabapentin keep me there...... most of the time.  I feel as though I have forgotten how to "fall" asleep, but now knock myself out.  After taking this handful of pills nightly at 9 PM, I can be awake at 2 am or 4 am. It has been a lot of drugs for a long period of time.  Since the drugs "labeled" use is for nerve pain, which I didn't have, I worry that the neuroma in my foot that developed 15 months ago might be related.  Neuroma, foot injections, foot surgery .. Pain unresolved

How effective do you think it is?"


"Brought my blood pressure down but now I'm having trouble achieving a climax."


"This IUD doesn't work. My daughter is 8 weeks pregnant after having it put in over a year ago. The Dr's acting so surprised! In an attempt to remove the IUD the damn string broke off. No idea what the out come will be. But this has caused an extreme amount of stress for my daughter. The stats on the effectiveness of this IUD need to change."


"I had it done yesterday, lots of bruising..I wouldn't want to go anywhere this week. I hope its a lot better in a few days."


"I became a bit suicidal on this drug. I'm an upbeat person and couldn't understand why I felt so low. I had been given the drug without packaging and side effects. I would urge caution in taking this drug"


"I'm a 32 year old male and have had symptoms of ADHD all my life, but chose not to treat it because the types of medications available seemed to 'take something away' from my personality.  I finally reached a point that my wife begged me to do something, so I started with Strattera due to my doctor's recommendation.  I've been on 40mg for 2 months now, and notice a major difference.  I now have a desire to get on the floor and play with the kids, whereas before it seemed tedious and boring.  I find that I'm not as tired at the end of the day/week because my thoughts are not distracted, by all the 'noise' that I seem to have from the ADHD.  I'm still new to the drug, and things could change, but for now, I am really happy."


"Well had many changes or should I say increases in medication as I seem to only get 12 months benefit then medication becomes less and less effective. Regarding  quetiapine I was on 60mg a day. 9 months ago I started to become ill again. I became suicidal. so saw my psychiatrist. He  said the current thinking was 600 to 800 mg of quetiapine.  was the effective dose to take for bipolar. So now I am on 600mg every evening. I am back to being well and have been for many months  The only side is effect is relaxing of muscles, talking like a drunk.So to take it early evening,and go to bed  once I start feeling drowsy,"


"The first two times I ever got a cold sore I used over the counter Walgreens/CVS/Campho-phenique products and my cold sore lasted for 2 weeks. This most recent time, I noticed the red tingly bump on Saturday morning, rushed out to the store and decided to try Abreva.  I began application immediately and as directed.  By Saturday evening I was blistered. I kept using Abreva and was taking L-lysine vitamins every day. It is now day 5 and the blister is gone, already scabbed and fallen off, and now just a somewhat minor red area where the skin is still healing.  This combo of Abreva and L-lysine vitamins saved my life! Would definitely recommend Abreva and will use again if needed."


"I have ADD caused by major depressive disorder and stimulants have done wonders for me! However, Adderall makes me feel very anxious and panicky, and I don't like it at all. It lasts a long time and sometimes I can't sleep at night because of it. Overall, it's an alright choice. Might switch back to Vyvanse"


"fatigue, headaches, muscle aches"


"Hospital changed me to bisoprolol due to intolerance of emconcor..I took 7mg and could not stay awake reduced this to 5mg. I had nose bleeds, bloating, sore eyes, so reduced to 2.5 mg, now got flatulence   gout all in 4 weeks. HOWEVER my heart rythem   blood pressure is at its best for many years"


"I have severe anxiety and panic attacks. I have been on Lexapro about 4 different times. I never learn my lesson.  After 6 months or so I think I am doing good enough to wean myself off and within 6 months I am back in the ER with a severe panic attack. I should just stay on it. This time around I started on 5mg and then bumped it to 10mg after 3 days. I am on day 2 of 10mg. I finally feel some relief. I have not left my house in a week- trapped due to panic attacks and today I was able to walks dogs and go to the store. Thank God there is something like Lexapro out there or else I would surely be in a mental institution."


"With liletta I have been bleeding for 3 month s I am so so tire of bleeding"


"Went to the doctor on a Monday with what I thought was sinuses acting up. They thought the same...by the next day I Had a bad cough and didn’t even feel like moving any muscle. I stayed on the couch for 2 days with a fever ranging from 100-102! I finally forced myself to go see the doctor again on Wednesday and yup pneumonia. They gave me a rocephin shot in office and also a prescription for a z pack! Time I got home an hour later my fever had dropped to around 99 and 30 minutes later it was back to normal. Woke up the next day and thought man I could go to work (not very smart thinking on my end) I made it through work but it wore me out. The doctor had me come back Saturday for another rocephin shot and today I feel more back to normal."


"Took daily for 3 months.  Worked like a charm!  Tips 1) Hang a calendar in bathroom as a reminder to take pill. 2) Buy a multipack of cheap nail files.  File the top nail surface as low as you can get it.  Repeat often with new file 3) Keep them trimmed as short as you can.  Clean clippers with alcohol between uses. 4) Use a secondary treatment for nail surface. I tried a liquid that you brush on, cream, or use coconut oil/tea tree mixture 2x day.  5) Soak feet 2x month in vinegar/listerine to remove dead skin & kill fungus.  Using this method, my nails have no sign of fungus 1 year later.  No more pain or itch.  I continue the coconut/tea tree daily and soaks 2x month."


"Sucked. Didn't do anything for me."


"I've been taking Wellbutrin for about 1 month.  I really want this medication to work but I'm having all side effects.  Started with a bad taste in my mouth and went to headache and really dizzy and nauseous. ( I will go off if this doesn't go away).  Today I'm having some chest pain but it feels a little worse than the anxiety chest pain I was having so I'm not sure what to think of that.  I have been on Prozac and then Celexa for 10 years and I wanted to try this for the less sexual side affects.  That has worked and I feel more sensitive to the things that should make you cry.  I really want this to work but the side effects are hard.  I'll stick with it and hope they go away soon."


"As soon as I smelled the Moviprep and took the first drink, it reminded me of Lemon Pledge furniture polish.  It has a strong taste and seems to get stronger with each gulp.

I started at 5pm and by the 2nd 8oz dose it had started working. Stay very close to the toilet.

Started the second phase at 8am the next day and had a very difficult time drinking it.  I almost vomited a few times.  I could not finish the last 6 oz's. I just couldn't.  I did use apple juice to help & I took a sip of juice then gulp the mix then another drink of juice and it helped get it down.

When you are finally going clear yellow fluid, you are clean according to my doc. That happened at the end of the 3rd dose in the morning.  It worked perfectly for the test."


"I began taking phentermine three days ago. The only side effect I have experienced has been dry mouth. Biotene mouthwash and mouth spray have helped along with lots of water. My appetite is suppressed greatly, which is wonderful. My biggest issue has been snacking late at night. My nights have not been filled with thoughts of restaurants and gourmet meals. I'm not much of a sweets eater; I love good cooking. I didn't even crave anything for the past couple of nights. It's been two days, and I'm down three pounds already. I weighed in at Weight Watchers today, and I'm exactly 270 today. I'll update in a week. Feeling excited!"


"5 days after starting on Mirtazipine I felt as if my brain had shrunk in my skull and was surrounded in an ice cold fog and felt like I was in a black & white horror film. The doctor didn't believe me when I reported this and said I would not notice a change for 14 days and to expect to feel worse before I felt better, so I took them for 2 & 1/2 months in which I plummeted into the worst mental & physical state . I stopped taking them after I began to see 'ghosts' and put on a short course of Quetiapine."


"I've been on this for three months now and the noticed that I've gained about 10 pounds but some of it went to my chest (which I'm not complaining about considering I'm an A cup). I didn't have any spotting like I've had with previous pills. My periods are shorter and a lot less painful. Overall I love this pill despite the little water weight gain."


"I don't take this on a regular basis because it knocks me out and I quickly build a tolerance.  I do take it once a regular headache passes that point of no return. While I'm quite anti-prescription medicines I would die without this (or have outrageous ER bills).  I average 6 serious (vomiting, neck cramps, loss of coherence, etc.) migraines a month. I take this as soon as I start getting my typical symptoms of a bad one and it knocks me for an hour or 2. I wake up and feel great. A little groggy for the next hour or 2, but what a fair trade.  Beats sitting in an ER for 4 hours waiting for the magic shot."


"I used Lacriserts for years and found them to be the best solution for dry eyes.  Then they went off the market in early spring and couldn't find them anywhere.  When they became available again I could only wear them for 3-4 hours a day without irritation.  I am wondering if the formulation changed when they were unavailable."


"I had chronic sinusitis and had balloon sinuplasty surgery to correct the problem. I had lost nasal drip which led to bronchitis which triggered asthma attacks. I could hardly breath until I took the azythromycin. Within a couple hours my airways were opening up and I was able to breath again. On my second day now and things just keep getting better. This medicine is taking out whatever bacteria is in my lungs. It was a real life saver for me."


"I've had Implanon for about 5 months now, and it is been extremely effective so far. As far as the effectiveness, I would recommend it to anyone. But as the other comments have said, side effects are different for everyone. When it was first inserted, I had the worst period of my life for about two weeks with extreme bleeding and blood clots. I haven't had a period since then, but I have had spotting almost every day, which is extremely irritating. My main concern is not the current side effects, but the effects after removal. "


"My PCP gave me a trial and an RX for Saxenda. I went to fill the script, but, unfortunately, my insurance doesn't cover it. I can't pay $800 a month even with the coupon. However, I am using the trial, and absolutely love Saxenda. I have had no side effects, it really helps me with hunger,  helps with cravings , overall, helps me to eat less. I am so sad I cannot continue with this medication for my weight loss, but I definitely recommend this product."


"I have been taking Nature-throid for more than a year now and find it simply outstanding.  I have had no allergic reaction, that I am aware of, as I had with Armour brand and synthetic thyroid (a rash).  My blood test results have been quite stable.  I have been able to stay on the same dose, 32.5MG, and now enjoy the peace of mind of simply taking the pill (which I crush with my teeth and allow to dissolve sublingually) and get on with my life.  I should note that over the past several years I have made significant changes such as eliminating dairy, egg, and gluten from my diet, which I feel has greatly complemented any pharmaceutical benefit.  An outstanding medication, Nature-throid has helped me restore vitality to my life."


"Went in to the urgent care thinking I had strep but found it was a sinus infection. Been using this for 4 days now and I thought it was helping pretty good and the pain had went away some but then now I feel like its going backwards and I keep getting ear and throat pain again but only at night and I seem to feel better during the day time."


"This is my second week on the medication and I would say it works. I have been smoking for the past 12 years now and tried all the gums, patches, e-cigarettes and even tried hypnotherapy at some point in time but honestly I always end up finding myself lighting another one. But Chantix works. I do not feel like smoking; although smoking has become like an unconditional part of me; but I am trying to avoid the places or events that would trigger the urges."


"Sleeplessness"


"Having Opiate induced constipation and on methadone, bowel movements are a commodity and a gift. On my fourth day of no-pooping I began to panicky and read about MC.
Went to the pharmacy picked up the lemon lime flavour brand of Citrodan.
I actually drank half the bottle on the way home and within 45 minutes I was on the toilet excreting the most foul smelling bowel movement I have ever had.
The next few hours were a bit uncomfortable ; gas, gurgling, running to the toilet and some cramping.
This stuff does what it is supposed to do with fervour and dedication.  Be prepared and stay in.  It's best to do it in the morning so you have all day to expel.  Drink lots of water throughout the day and wash .  It does smell bad coming out."


"I've been on Cymbalta for a few years now (on various doses) alongside clonazepam (0.5mg twice/day) and I have to say its been the worst experience of my life. I was put on it after Effexor XR basically stopped working after 4 yrs.At first cymbalta seemed to "take the edge off". I didnt notice many of the initial side effects because of my severe withdrawal from Effexor.But after about 9 months at 30mg Cymbalta just stopped working and actually started to make me experience anxiety and panic attacks that were insanely intense. I have moved up to 60mg and back down to 30, upped my clonazepam and its just gotten worse and worse. Weight gain (50lbs), severe panic attacks, gad, severe depression, ocd, stomachache, IBS, headache, ..."


"I have been using this medication for my complex tension headaches for 2 years now. I have a condition that causes chronic muscle spasms/trigger points in my upper back, shoulders, and neck. In turn the spasms start a chain reaction which results in severe headaches. This is the only medication that has successfully relieved my pain, and it does it without any adverse effects, and very quickly. 2 capsules, either at the same time or within an hour of each other, and the pain is on its way and I am able to move and turn my head again."


"I started in July. I was eating healthy but wasn't working out. The one week I started working out I lost 8pounds and no I don't take them every day. But working out is a plus. My goal is 175lbs, I am 240lbs, after a baby."


"Just started this medication 2 days ago - 150mg pill daily for the first week and then it will be 2 pills daily after the first week. I took the 1st pill in the evening and it gave me a serious energy jolt, lifted my mood and I also stayed awake until 2am. I couldn't get myself to sleep plus I was jittery all night. My sleep was not that great and woke up very tired. The jittery feeling subsided in the morning, so I decided to take pill 2 in the afternoon. This was much better, just little drowsy. My mood is currently calm and content.

I took Zoloft several years ago and while on that medication, I was ready to kill somebody. I stopped it immediately.

Hubby says I don't nag and yell at him as much, so I am glad for my happy pill! ;)"


"so I took this pill July 24th of this year and I was worried. I took it within 12 hours of intercourse and did everything right. I was supposed to get my next period August 15th and it never happened. I was extremely worried and stressing out. The side effects do say that it will be late or early. After a week of a missed period I took pregnancy tests. They came back negative but that didn't satisfy me. I read through the reviews and it calmed my nerves. Today I got my period. September first. Don't worry ladies. Plan B will work!"


"I am taking this medicine right now and it has already began to work 3 days In. But I have been having severe headaches for the past 2 days and I'm always sleepy. Otherwise I love the medicine."


"I was previously on gildess fe 1/20, I was told it was no longer available so the pharmacy switched me to Blisovi fe 1/20. I've been on it for about three months and I have gained about 20 pounds. I'm almost always moody, and bloated. Before taking this medication I weighed about 136, I now weigh 160lbs. My doctor tried to tell me that there's no possible way its because of the birth control, but I know for a fact that it is."


"I got a UTI maybe a couple days after my cycle ended and was trying to do home remedies, but my boss told me it's better to get antibiotics so I don't end up in the ER. I am on my third day of Macrobid and the only thing it really does is make me feel better, aside from using my energy to help me get better. So I really only feel fatigue, but I drink lots of water or things with Vitamin C, to help as well, and I take the capsule with bread. Other than the fatigue, it's dealing with my UTI so I can't complain."


"I had the Mirena in place for a little over three years. I LOVED it. I did not experience any of the severe cramping or pain after getting it placed, due to the fact I had mine placed after a procedure. (I already experienced discomfort due to this procedure). My period stopped almost instantly (no period for 3years, can't complain). The hormones Mirena released also helped speed up metabolism, I lost close to 30 lbs. My only reasoning for getting mine removed is because of the reoccurring Bacterial Infections. What most people are not told is that the Mirena is for MONOGOMOUS couples, apparently I was the only one in my relationship monogamous. Only finding this out after my removal."


"I was prescribed a 250mg Z-Pak for bronchitis/upper respiratory infection (which I'm sure was viral, but whatever). I experienced horrible diarrhea starting on day 2. After 4 pills, I gave up and called my doc, who told me to discontinue use. Guess I'll add this to my list of allergies."


"I am taking 10 mg for 3 weeks now. After the first week I've started to feel a little bit better side effects dry mouth, I was not eating that much which is good because I am over weight but after the 3 week started to feel again depressed so it means that so far is not helping me, I went to the doctor today. I will increase starting tomorrow 15 mg and lets see how it goes...I will keep you posted."


"20 year old male.  After failing 2 of my college classes in one semester, decided it was time to do something about my increasing depression.  Doctor started me on Zoloft.  Took about 4 weeks to start to notice the effects.  Occasional shakes.  Memory loss was frequent.  Immediately noticed a decrease in sex drive and wasn't a problem until I started dating again and couldn't get it up the first time I got with my current girlfriend.  Luckily she is understanding.  My doctor is switching me to Wellbutrin.  If it wasn't for the decreased sex drive I probably would have stayed on it."


"I was diagnosed with BiPolar Disorder 1 about 8 months ago. My doctor put me on Seroquel 100mg. I do have to take it at night due to the drowsiness it causes. It has made a dramatic change in the racing thoughts and negative self-image I felt. I've also had a marked change in my insomnia. I was misdiagnosed for a number of years, and couldn't understand why the other meds didn't make a difference. I wake up feeling rested. I did have some vivid dreams when I first began taking it. I also get the munchies, but they have subsided considerably in the last month or two, and have dropped almost 20 pounds. This is magical as far as I'm concerned! As well as the Seroquel, I also take 20 mg of Lexapro and 600 mg of Neurontin every night. Thanks!!"


"I have NEVER had any trouble with antibiotics before.  I took Spectracef 400mg 2 x a day for 10 days. I now have oral thrush, and am itching in private place.  My whole mouth is sore especially my tongue.  "


"I've been talking zyprexa for about for about 2 weeks now. Family says they can tell a big difference. Mornings are a little hard to get motivated, but I also take Ritalin for add. So that helps me get going. Falling asleep easily and staying asleep. No more racing thoughts or depression. My anxiety is more under control. It does give me craving for food, but I have controlled it so far. I take 5 mg daily.so far so good."


"I have used Copaxone off and on for about 5 years.  I don't like the injection sight reactions but they are small compared to some of the other treatments I have used.  I was on Tysabri and it was great.  I felt normal as before MS for about 2 weeks every month and 2 weeks waiting for the next infusion.  Due to Liver problems my Doctor recommended I go back on Copaxone but with injections every other day.  I have done this for 2 years and no relapse."


"Ambien has been hit or miss for me. When it works it's bliss! 2 out of 3 days it doesn't work well. The CR is supposed to help me stay asleep but at best I get 4-6 hours of sleep. It's not the greatest sleep - I fall off and wake up frequently without feeling I've slept, but it's better than staring at the ceiling till dawn. It's expensive!"


"I am in week 5 with Contrave and am down 12 pounds.  My appetite is suppressed almost completely, and certain foods I routinely ate no longer appeal to me. I had problems with nausea the first two weeks, and a lot of agitation during the third week but the side effects have just about disappeared at this point.  It was worth fighting through them.  While I am still at the beginning of this journey, I am already enjoying the scale and the non-scale wins.  I have complained about my weight for years but never hung in there to do much about it so I now feel empowered and motivated to make this work for me.  Thanks to everyone who shares because I find their experiences helpful on my own journey!"


"Took the one-dose pill 12 hours after unprotected sex. No immediate side effects. 5 days later I got a very heavy, crampy period 13 days before my scheduled period. Didn't enjoy having this period a week after my scheduled period first ended, but the pill was effective and I'd use it again if I had to."


"I started having panic attacks when I was 20. The docs put me on zoloft and it helped me tremendously. Not only that, I stopped being the shy person that I had been prior to that. However I stopped taking it after a year because I figured I had been cured. I spent years after that without any anxiety until I had a severe bout of OCD at the age of 27 which was threatening to really destroy my life. I resisted taking medication for 2 years which was such a stupid idea. I don't know why I chose to suffer even though I knew zoloft would help me again. Anyhow, I went back on zoloft and poof! problem solved. But then I quit again and now after many years that I tried going back on it its not working as much. I wish I had stayed on it :("


"I got my Implanon inserted July of 2010 and now its August of 2011. I had no problems with it, no period at all until 2 days ago. I do get some mood swings and a loss of sex drive. But all in all I have had a great experience with it. I have not gotten pregnant on it, didn't have a period for a year. I would recommend this form of birth control to anyone."


"I have spinal stenosis and take Vicodin 7.5/500 6-8 times a day it has taken the pain away. No side effects. Doctor says it will make me sleepy but I find is it keeps me awake. Been on it for 3 years and it's the only thing that lets me live a pain free day."


"Stay away from this medicine I got my first shot on November 11 after a week I start bleeding and I still bleed badly  I. hate this medicine"


"So today is day 4 on phentermine. Starting out I cut out all processed foods and high carb foods and soda. I am only drinking water. I've also been trying to stay active and have been on two 2 mile walks along with my regular moving around over the past few days. I have lost 6lbs!!!!
SW:232LBS
GW: 140LBS
CW: 226LBS

It's probably mainly water weight. But still nice to see a decrease on the scale. :)"


"Extremely effective birth control that makes me feel confident and safe as a single young woman. My friends have had pregnancy scares while taking the pill so it is nice that Mirena removes all that fear since I don't risk pregnancy by forgetting to take a pill. However, the insertion was excruciating and an absolutely horrible experience. I don't regret it though because it has completely stopped my menstruation saving me so much money on period products."


"Works almost immediately. Gets rid of chest tightness, anger, emotional rollercoaster. Just doesn't last a full 8 hours."


"I used this for endometriosis and birth control. Nexplanon works great for pregnancy prevention, and while I was breastfeeding I had no issues. Once I stopped, it became useless for me. I had it put it to help with my endometriosis pain, and it hasn't done a thing. "


"I am 13 years old and was diagnosed when I was in kindergarten. I started taking medicine when I was in 1st grade. I started to use Daytrana when I was in 4th grade. Only my close friends and family knew I had ADHD. I was so embarrassed and was made fun of all the time. I was on 15mg but for the past couple of months I switched to 10mg. It works great and I recommend it to others. The patch you just stick on your hip and take it off after 9 hours. Sometimes I forget to take it off and can't sleep at all and if I don't take it I will bounce off the walls and I will eat so much that I either throw up or be very sick. When I do take it I feel like a normal person. It is hard to get the backing off sometimes but if you are careful it comes off."


"Been on 1 mg for two weeks. Depression has lifted quickly. No weight gain as of yet. Had headaches for the first three days. Overall a promising start"


"I tried EVERYTHING to get over what was first diagnosed as depression (30 years ago).  About 12 years ago I started seeing a psychiatrist who thought I might be bipolar, type 2 (mostly depressive, no full-blown manic state) and started me on Emsam.  It took some time-can't really remember but maybe a month but it works.  Yes, there are side effects-insomnia being the worst but that dissipated in a few months.  We all know that what works for one person may not for another but this is not an SSRI which can't "touch" depression associated with bipolar.  And you don't have to be bipolar for it to work.  I know it's frustrating but give it a shot-maybe you'll be like me and never have to try another medicine again!"


"Made my mood a thousand times worse, only helps with putting me to sleep"


"First couple of months I had a longer then usual period. After about 2 months in it completely stopped although I had light craps and mood swings through out the first couple of months no weight gain. Perks of having the implant, not having to worry about missed pills (although I was never good at taking pill form birth control) No shot and yet still having periods ! All around the implants been good to me. Would highly recommend it to anyone with an irregular period!!!   Haha good luck ladies!"


"I had a toothache that was so painful it brought me to my knees and into tears. I also have a great tolerance to pain. This is the only thing that helped until I went to the dentist. Overall I am very happy with the results of this medication."


"I was given Ketamine along with propofol to induce anaesthesia for a recent operation and never again. I experienced acute dysphoria and felt like I was going to die. Never again, this drug is bad news.
I've now had 35 major surgeries and this was the first time ketamine was used.
Also had very low BP on waking.
It seems to be the new in-thing drug. No idea why all of a sudden it's become popular?"


"I LOVED this birth control when I first started it. I was switched from Levora hoping that it would help my endometriosis - that time of the month is very painful for me. This pill worked WONDERFULLY for that. I had minor cramps for two days or so, max. No other side effects too. It made my periods shorter and lighter, and I could easily tell when I was going to start my period and stop it. After a few months the timing went WAY off. My period would come WAY too early, then I'd just be spotting on my placebo pills. It became very unpredictable. It's also pretty expensive as there is no generic. For those reasons I'm now taking Apri. I would recommend this pill though, especially if you have endometriosis."


"This medication has given me my life back!  I had crippling anxiety.  I never could sleep more than 2-4 hrs a night, was constantly fearful, and had daily panic attacks.  My anxious thoughts had become so obsessive, I couldn't even function.  Within a week of starting Lexapro, my irrational fears and obsessive thoughts started to decrease significantly, and after about a month, I was starting to feel "normal" again.  I have been on it for about 5 months now and I finally feel balanced (and haven't had a single panic attack).  Only complaints are that it makes me fairly sleepy often and sometimes I have weird dreams.  But the benefits FAR outweigh the side effects."


"Didn't bring hb1c level to required level but lost 4 stones in weight felt really well"


"I have arthritis in my knee. This works for Pain, but under no circumstances go out in the sun while using it.  Sun intensifies medication and feels like you have been stung by a jelly fish.  If exposed by sun, ice immediately and wash off."


"This medicine has helped me far better than any of the other concoctions, and doesn't have as much of the weight gain problem. I am on 400 mg. My insurance hates that I take it and charges me $133 for it...and it's worth every penny. It stops many urges that come along with mania, but it does flatten you out--those of you that are bipolar know what I'm talking about. This medicine helps me get into actual REM sleep and there are no nightmares; and it keeps me calm all day long. I love it."


"Started Harvoni 1/1/15 finished 3/24/15, no side effects!  What a great product!  Thank you FDA for approval"


"I have been using Panlor SS since it came on the market, needing no more mgs years later than I did at inception, and have been pleased with an almost total abatement of migraine pain and suffering.  For all of my life I have suffered with migraine pain and tried many medications with a laundry list of awful side effects.  Panlor SS gave me my life back and I am horrified that this medication is off the market."


"I had no idea my physician prescribed this to me for migraines. I was initially prescribed this for hypertension. I also have migraines, but since taking this, my headaches have decreased dramatically. I rarely have a migraine any more. It's been a blessing! I love this medication. It's worked wonders for my quality of life."


"Personally, I love this birth control method and I even have recommended Implanon to several of my friends. Insertion didn't hurt much, although, I do have a very high pain tolerance. The days following insertion were the worst, pain-wise, but it wasn't unbearable. I did experience nausea and dizziness in the first couple weeks as my body adjusted to the hormones. I've actually lost weight, and I haven't had a period or even a single pimple since insertion. The only serious side effects were emotional lability (probably the most concerning), rapid mood swings and some slight depression but honestly? Worth it. It's a hassle-free birth control method and I absolutely love the peace of mind it gives me."


"I suffer from PTSD, in which I hear voices (psychotic symptoms due to PTSD, not schizophrenic). Been on this drug 6 months now. The risperidone doesn't completely get rid of the voices, but it significantly decreases them. I feel much calmer on this medication then I am without it. I don't recall any major side effects, nothing has bothered me enough to even notice it. A plus is also that it makes me sleepy for the first 12 hours or so, so it counteracts the Wellbutrin, which tends to keep me up at night and helps me get a good night's sleep.

I did go off of it for a little while, and the withdrawal was very minimal. I had some increase in anxiety for about 4 days (I worried excessively about things I normally wouldn't worry about)."


"had tried claritin-d, and others prior to finding Zyrtec-D.  I have now used it for a number of years, and find it difficult to breath without it.  Works very well for me, while nothing else that I could find has."


"Experienced severe constipation and weak erection."


"Hi ladies!  So let me just preface by saying take a deep breath.  That was exactly what I needed to do when I visited this page almost 3 months ago, frantically searching for testimonials and reassurance this product would keep me from becoming a mom before I was ready. In my scenario, I was at a party, drank too much and was sexually taken advantage of by some unfortunate human being. Because I was so out of it, I couldn't remember if he used a condom/wore it the whole time, so I researched and found out about Plan B. I bought and took it 40 hours later, and after 3 days, I began having major cramps, got my period (2 weeks early), and was/am not pregnant. Relax and try to stay stress free; the chances of it working are in your favor!"


"RUN THE OTHER WAY!

I started on Gildess because the mail order pharmacy chose it as a substitute to my normal brand. I've been on it for 2 months and I'm up 9 pounds so far despite doing the 21 day fix over the past month. Called my gyno and she asked me to come in immediately. Rapid weight gain like that is apparently not good.

Other unpleasant side effects seem to be alternating between rage and depression, acne on my face, neck and chest (oh baby!) zero libido, long, heavy periods with a decent amount of cramping and migraines.

Having another kid wouldn't be as bad as another month on this pill."


"I have been using differin for the last five months and have seen no difference"


"6 months on forteo, kypoplasty every 6 weeks for 5 months, male 58 yrs old, only side effect stomach grew from 32 inch waist to 36 inch waist and climbing, back vertebrae breaks slowing down so forteo doing its job successfully!"


"I take this around 10 at night and still wake up 3am in the morning.  To expensive for me."


"This drug gave me my life back, seriously. I suffered a minor heart attack a couple of months ago, caused by a blocked artery. After taking a month off I was feeling fine. However, once I went back to work I would experience severe attacks where I had severe shortness of breath and dizziness. I also had similar attacks while driving. I ended up on the ER 3 times in 3 weeks because I thought I was having another attack. Turns out the severity of the panic/anxiety attacks was the root cause. I take one 1mg a day (2nd 1mg ONLY if necessary) and my life is back to normal."


"I am a 72 year old female, diagnosed with RA 6 years ago.  I took Plaquenil (200x2) from 2012-2016, along with Prednisone to start.  Due to the fact, I could not use my hands because of the swelling, I risked the possible vision problems.  By 2012, symptom free and still fearful of vision loss, I stopped the drug.
   I was pain and symptom free for one year, but now symptoms have returned, and I have been told to restart the drug(no prednisone.)  In the 4 years taking it, I went from 95 lbs. to 85 lbs., lost a significant amount of  hair, had cataract surgery and, now, macular degeneration.  The decision to restart is extremely emotionally stressful, weighing the benefits against the risk. (Dr. says neither eye problem was caused by the drug"


"I've been on it for a year and have spotted every single day for a year now. I have friends who have it and they love it and don't bleed at all, I think it just effects everyone differently. I though it was worth the chance and I wish I  never got it. I wouldn't take the chance because it's miserable. The amount of money I've had to spend in feminine products this year is insane."


"I have just requested to go back on Lexapro. I took it for several years and it worked wonders for my depression and anxiety. In 2005, I made the switch to Cymbalta due to my diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. Although Cymbalta seems to have helped with the pain, I have been so depressed and anxious. Not to mention my out of pocket costs for Cymbalta. I welcome Lexapro back into my life!"


"Im glad I didn't look up reviews 5 years ago when I started taking this. I've never had a negative side effect, and definitely never had a baby, so I'd say this little pill is my best friend. Understand that the majority of people that leave reviews are the ones with negative experiences. I totally get that, but I'm leaving a review to say that I've never had a problem..other than occasional spotting..until now. Cvs no longer carries Gildess and is switching me take Blisovi fe. I'm leaving this review as a goodbye to the best birth control I could've asked for. I really really hope this new brand is the same."


"changed my life. I used to have horrible skin and honestly people always compliment me about how flawless I am. A little makeup helps too though."


"I am the wife of a man currently taking Eligard. I have to say it has worked to keep the prostate cancer from spreading. Which is absolutely wonderful. However it has caused a lot of other problems which has effected both of us. He has absolutely no sexual desire, he has developed which appears to be breast, his penis has become inverted and his testicles have decreased in size. His muscle mass has decreased as well and the weight gain is mostly in his belly. I can only hope that he will regain his man hood if and when he is taken off this medication."


"The first day I noticed an improvement. I am 2 days/ 3 pills now and all I have a little tinge when I pee. The urge to pee went away the first dose at the ER after 1 hour. I feel so much better already and no side effects I can tell. I would take this medicine again if I needed it."


"After a full hysterectomy in 2000 with both ovaries removed, I was given Premarin straight after surgery.
My Dr now refuses to continue the treatment, and her colleagues will not prescribe as I am her patient.
Now 3 months without and horrendous problems with lack of energy, emotional outbursts, hot flushes and vaginal skin tearing.
Dr. still refuses because of cancer risk. I thought that would be MY choice: for better quality of life.
What to do? Flew to Malaysia and bought OTC.
Life getting back to normal now.
Only side effect may be the slight bloating, but I'm careful what I eat and drink to reduce this."


"I've been on Topamax for probably at least 15 years, 400 mg daily. I'm get debilating migraines. After reading these reviews I guess I am one of the lucky ones as I have not received one side effect. I take it at night. If the migrane is really bad I add one pill of Relpax and that does the job."


"It worked extremely well for me. It lowers my blood sugar level fast. My doctor changed me to Janumet and Starlix and they are not doing the job. I am going to request that I return to Glucotrol."


"Except for what I would classify as bad heartburn the drug appears to be very effective."


"I am a 25 year old woman and started taking this 6 days ago along with clonazepam for anxiety. 300 mg of Bupropion once a day (mornings) and clonazepam twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening). I have to say that...so far THIS ROCKS. I was suffering from depression, obsessive thoughts, anxiety and panic attacks for months. I stopped taking Zoloft after a year because I gained 60 lbs on it. Now with Wellbutrin, I have no side effects except loss of appetite and more energy. I feel more energetic, happy (almost "giddy") and hopeful for the future. My anxiety and depression was debilitating and this saved my life. I can't wait till the full effects kick in. 6 days in and I feel the difference."


"Have been taking Adipex for almost 2 weeks.  The first week I did notice an energy surge, but now I'm back to my normal levels. I have no appetite in the morning, a bit of an appetite for lunch, and have to watch what I eat for dinner.  I vigorously exercise for 60 minutes 5 times a week.  I have lost 10 lbs so far.  I am glad for the help with the appetite, but am always contemplating the pros and cons."


"I'm on 0.5mg 3 times a day. I feel great. I'm happy, calm, and back to my old self again, without anxiety flare ups.
I love this medicine, and would recommend it to anyone. Personally I think this is the best benzodiazepine, take it with caution though, but if you truly need it like I do, then find a doctor willing to prescribe it. Good luck."


"Be careful. My experience put me in the emergency room BUT my friend takes it and has had a fantastic experience. every person can have a different reaction, know the risks and definitely do a lot of research."


"Was taking many medications for a condition which caused a lot of weight gain. After weaning off, dr. put me on low cal, low carb diet with a prescription diet aid that worked but scary. I continued ti lose after stopping rx diet pill but then plateaud for a long time and started gaining slowly. Chose Alli to help things start moving along. So far I'm pleased. Psychologicaly, it helps motivate me since I spent money on an FDA approved diet pill. It helps so I can eat meals a little higher in cal than original diet which makes it more sustainable. In 3 days I've lost 3 of the 4lbs I gained back. I exercise almosr daily- for years. Try to make healthy choices and not eat late. Take with lunch and dinner where my fat and calories are a more"


"I have been taking Victoza for about 7 months now.  I have lost almost 50lbs and I feel great.  I had gastric bypass 10 years ago, lost almost 100lbs and regained it due to a medical issue.  I have taken and participated in countless other weight loss products/programs and have found that Victoza as produced about the same amount of weight loss as with having the gastric bypass.  The side effects were minimal, nausea for the first two months sporadically, but I took it with a grain of salt, realizing that it will pass.  Again, I'd Say Yes to trying Victoza all while under the care of a physician."


"1st colonoscopy I took the prep at 6 and it is 930 and so far nothing.   Light cramping and some rumbles, nothing more.  Concerned since most others had quick results and done with night before prep by now.  Was hoping to sleep tonight but not betting on it."


"In case folks weren't aware, "KAPIDEX" is now called "DEXILANT". I have had Acid Reflux/GERD for about five years. Protonix was the first medicine tried. I don't think it did much. Nexium worked very well. Doctor thought Dexilant would work better since it gives two releases of medication. I have used it for over a year with switching back to Nexium a couple of times. I will say that Dexilant seems to work about the same as Nexium. Recently I stopped taking any medication for about 4 days. That was a mistake. I felt fine for about three days. On the fourth, the painful heartburn came back with a vengeance."


"I had an awesome erection, however, Sexual Desire has decreased even more since I haven't taken it.  I'm irritable and feeling like I'm going crazy."


"My experience with Lolo was fairly good overall, with the exception of one main issue. I did not experience any weight gain or irregular break outs, and maintained the same sex drive. My skin was relatively clear, my cramps almost completely disappeared (they were very severe before) and my period lasted 3-4 days. I'm changing to a different pill only because I have started getting my period twice a month. My period will sometimes come halfway through the month then again while taking the placebo pills. Other times it comes halfway through one month, then doesn't come again until the end of the next month. I've enjoyed the lack of unpleasant symptoms, but irregularity is a huge pain."


"Well I took Ducolax without reading the packaging, I thought it was a quick fix you know, take it and instant relief but I'm an idiot. I ate dairy (cheese with my pasta) and had Lemon in my water. So I'm going to be in pain. I haven't done the #2 in a few days and I have lower back abdominal pain and I feel bloated, so I figured it's the weekend and I have a few hours to spare before I go out (about 2hr) so I just canceled my plans. But READ THE GODDAMN PACKAGING. I am dying over the comments though, so funny lol."

"I am 18 and I have been using the shot for 8 months. If you do not want to get pregnant, this IS the shot for you! I had a period with the first injection but ever since then I haven't and I love that. It is great because it isn't that painful when receiving the shot, and it is awesome not worrying about it for 3 months. The problems I have with the Depo shot is weight gain. I am 5'10 and was 126 pounds, so I thought I wouldn't gain weight, and I was very wrong. I now weight 150! I also am very moody and sometimes feel depressed. Next month I will be changing to the patch because early aged osteoporosis runs in my family."


"Been on medication for hbp for 7 months (also taking Bystolic). Had a reaction of angioedema where my face swelled and then a few days later got hives on my arms and legs. ER doctor explained it's technically NOT an allergic reaction (i.e. not histamine related) so benadryl will not help with the swelling. Given predisone and also taking tylenol. He told me the drug can be taken for decades without any adverse reaction, and then one day, you suddenly get swelling. Having a reaction rules out using any of the ACE inhibitor drugs. Too bad - it was working really well for me. On Cardizem now."


"Doesn't help much at all"


"So I have been on the BuTrans patch 10microgram/hour for the last 5 months I took anti sickness tablets so I had no sick feeling or any side effects at all.  It has been a godsend this patch I'm in no pain  I noticed in 4 days...I'm from Ireland I fell and fractured my back in 5 places I was in severe pain with my back and spasms which left me sleeping in a chair for 3 months. Since I came on the patch I'm back in my bed so this patch is the best ever in my opinion anyways hope this helps some one I'm a 25 year old girl from Ireland "


"Standing at 5'3" I weighed in at 228lbs Monday Sept 14th, started phentermine Tuesday mornin Sept 15th, within 20 minutes I felt a rush come over me, my heart was racing, I was sweating, numbing feeling in my arms, as well as, I felt that I couldn't get the right words out, almost tongue tied. Then about 6-8 hours later at dinner, I kept feeling like I was moving in slow motion. Side effects, the verge of a headache, not one, but could be triggered at any moment, dry mouth, and insomnia. I can usually only get 4-5 hours sleep tops. Which is extremely difficult with a 2 year old. But I have already lost 3lbs, I am keeping to a 1500 cal diet. No exercising yet due to heart rate being elevated at simple movements! Will start next week! I'll keep posting"


"Wonder drug for me. I have been on and off 10 mg Lexapro for 5 years. Went through withdrawals while weaning myself off through the beginning of 2 pregnancies. Withdrawals feel like you are coming down with something and the world is a scary unknown new place. Brain zaps are weird too. But I went back on the medication after giving birth because I truly am the text book person with generalized anxiety disorder. It consumes every part of my life. I was just upped to 15 mg a week ago because the 10 was just not quite doing it for me anymore. Life has thrown some serious medical conditions our way. My son was diagnosed with cancer, as was my father, and my other son has down syndrome so my anxiety really spiked. The 15 mg has been wonderful."


"I took otezla for about 5 months for psoriatic arthritis.  I experienced headaches and upper respiratory infections almost the entire time. I saw little, if any, improvement to my arthritis pain and inflammation."


"It's sad. Ever since I was a child I've had anxiety problems and it only seems to get worse with age. I've used Xanax for years to help control it, when it feels like I'm going to have a heart attack (racing heart) or I start shaking so bad I can't even think straight. Xanax worked wonders for me. Now my MD. wants to stop it. I'm on Cymbalta and unfortunately, I find it a very poor substitute. As I find it doesn't do 'The Great Job Xanax Did'. "


"I started Abilify on 2mg with Prozac and Klonopin. After just 3 days I felt the energy that was lacking for so many years. Before Abilify I had been on so many different antidepressants I felt there was nothing for me so I chose drinking. Wrong choice but it was the only thing that would make me feel normal. I finally quit with help from my family. I was put on Abilify, Prozac and Klonopin. I have now switched Prozac with Effexor 75 mg and Abilify 8 mg 4 mg in morning and 4mg at night 37.5 of Effexor in morning and night, also 2mg of Klonopin 2 times day or as needed.  I do suffer from vivid dreams and have gained a little weight but when I was drinking I wouldn't eat and lost a lot of weight. Overall it is a godsend."


"I took this for pain for frozen shoulder for almost 3 weeks, RLS went away!"


"I just finished my first pack. I was so afraid since this was the first birth control pill I have ever been on. I was majorly concerned with gaining weight, but from what I see my appetite may have even decreased a little. I want to eat more often but I cannot eat nearly as much as I used to. My breasts already have grown about half a cup size bigger which I am okay with. Normally right before my period I would break out just a little and but this pill has eliminated almost all of my acne except for maybe one minor blemish here or there. I do feel a little more emotional but nothing so drastic that it would affect my relationship with others or mental state. Overall I am in love with this pill, no true negative side affects for me."


"I have had an on and off condition with skin boils numerous, I am also diabetic and allergic to penicillin. This is one of the few antibiotics I can tolerate. I have been on this dose for 12 days, and am getting vast improvement. I am concerned though, because my provider wants me on this for 4 more weeks.. I have read other reviews, medications all have side effects, but having numerous boils under my arms, top of my legs, and under my breasts have just gotten out of control. And scars are bad as well. Just feeling so much better without so much infection and things healing up"


"Condom broke 7/25, not sure if I was ovulating or not. took a pill a hour and a half after the incident, took another pill 12 hours after the incident. I felt nauseous, headaches, cramps, extremely sore boobs for almost 2 weeks, exhausted and moodiness and I also got a yeast infection. 8/8 Yesterday marked 2 weeks since the incident happened and the pregnancy test came out negative. About 2 hours later I started my period which is a lot heavier than normal but im not pregnant and the pill did its job."


"I took trazodone for a few months without any side affects that was cause a concern. Light grogginess in the morning is natural on any sleep aid. After a few months I got really dry mouth, headaches and the hangover was so intense that it would last all day long. After a few days at work with this dangerous hang over I stopped taking it. I'd rather sleep just a few hours with natural stuff like melatonin then feel completely sick and exhausted at work the following day. I could see this working for someone who doesn't have a schedule. Not fun if you have to be up by a certain time."


"I have only been taking the medication for a week. 500mg/day. I have lost 11 pounds in that week due to the loss of appetite. When I do eat I get sick. Nothing tastes good to me anymore. I'm having some crazy dreams at night. I urinate every 2 hours minimum. I get a tingling feeling in my fingers, face and legs. I'm having a spinal tap this Friday to relieve some pressure, I'm hoping after that happens I won't have to take this medication anymore. It has alleviated the headaches though!"


"I can only describe my experience as horrendous. I was given topi max to balance out the severe anxiety and restlessness and insomnia I had on abilify. It had the opposite effect, after about three weeks taking it I developed severe fatigue, inability to swallow properly, paranoia and the anxiety and restlessness went through the roof, I have never been so close to ending it all to get out of the hell that had become my head. I stopped taking both abilify and topomax and resumed on my original aerogel. Within 24 hours all the symptoms of anxiety and suicidality had gone. A trully terrifying experience that nearly saw my children without a mother"


"Brintellix seems to keep me on upper end of depression.I still have no motivation to get out of the house.I am less irritable but have times of hypomania.My psych increased my dosage but I haven't filled it yet,can't motivate myself to get it filled. When I began taking Brintellix my psych suggested to take with night meds because of possible nausea.I was nauseated at first then stomach cramps began my 3rd month of taking it. Just recently started vomiting and have very bad constipated. Just started to get bad headaches. Brintellix is probably the best med for my psych problems but not so great for physically. I need to get off this med unfortunately."


"The medicine has done nothing for me but been a tease.  I was so excited about the being free the indescribable itch. I have no other symptoms but the itch is annoying.  Day 4,the itch lingers.  I had not had sex, used toys and  always been clean using the bathroom etc.  Where did this come from? Thank God I am not in a relationship because it would--it would have been over! Bottom-line, tonight I took two 500mg to see if a 1000 strength would give me a little relief.  This is sickening!  I don't understand how some have gone through this before and even for years and months.  I am going crazy after two weeks of thinking I had a yeast infection to learn I am fighting BV.  I have Dr. apt at 10am in the morning--need to try another drug!"


"I had swelling around my optic nerves causing vision problems and also had debilitating headaches that got worse with movement and made it impossible to exercise. I lived with it for years unknowingly and got progressively worse. My doctor diagnosed me with Pseudotumor cerebri. I have been taking generic Diamox for 3 weeks and haven't had a single headache. I can take my dogs for a walk now. There are 2 side effects I experience, tingling in my feet which was very bothersome but has lessened and that any beverages with carbonation taste terrible. No sodas, flavored water, beer, wine coolers, champagne. None of it taste normal/good. "


"Please report these side effects properly. I also have side effects and am concerned that the FDA isn't able to track the data not reported to them.

The FDA is responsible for ensuring that foods are safe, wholesome, and correctly labeled. It also oversees medicines, medical devices (from bandages to artificial hearts), blood products, vaccines, cosmetics, veterinary drugs, animal feed, etc.
"


"I was in so much pain and the other options, like Lyrica and Cymbalta, gave me serious allergic reactions. The only problem I had was that no doctor besides Dr Karen Herbst in AZ (a specialist in Dercum's Disease), understood the extreme pain of this disease. At least, not in my HMO, Kaiser Permanente here in Northern California. I had a month's worth of 25mcg fentanyl patches and for the last three weeks I have been on them, I have been able to be a "Mom" again and participate with the family, take care of them and join in actually living my life again. I am at a loss on how to convince the pain doctors at my Kaiser that this "chronic pain"  patient's quality of life is greatly improved by the use of opoids, in this case the Fentanyl patch"


"I am 7 weeks into taking Contrave. I have lost 22 pounds. I am having problems with headache, nausea, constipation, problems sleeping, abdominal pain, and difficulty focusing. Overall, I feel like I have managing these symptoms in order to continue with the weightless."


"I had horrible nightmares and intermittent sleep. Very frustrated. Woke up tired."


"Diagnosed with general anxiety disorder.  Would have obsessive thoughts non stop, losing sleep sometimes.  Started taking buspar 5mg twice a day.  Hands felt tingling and head a little cloudy but no other real side affect.  Increased up to 10mg.  Immediately saw improvement, no more obsessive thoughts that would normally slow me at my work.  Been on it for almost a year now and have no side affects."


"I was sick 7 years ago, immediately after being infected, so there was very little time to do damage to my body without being on medication.  I started on Atripla, and was undetectable within 30 days and CD4 went from 350 to 900.  I still have weird dreams, but otherwise my health has never been better.
I take a strict daily vitamin regimen in addition to my Atripla.  I only have to see the doctor twice a year now.  I am so fortunate.  This medication is amazing."


"Terrible side effects from Ssri and ssnri. Lexapro and celexa kept me in bed for a week before stopping. Others made my crawl out of my skin. I take 2.5 mg at bed and wake up with a great energy level! I have terrible anxiety all day long and this has made it go away! Love love love that I feel back to my old self. I had my first panic attack while driving and so although I force myself to do it I hated how exhausting it was. Only a week on this new Med has been a game changer. I started getting anxiety and panic attacks years ago for no good reason. I love life and was not stressed about anything. Anxiety turned my life upside down. Only a week on this I will update in a month."


"Severe hair loss. pain in shoulders. sleep problems. depression."


"I have ADHD and this medication helps with everyday life. I can focus on what I'm doing. The only real problem I have with this medication is the fact that it affects how I treat others. In other words I get agitated a lot faster.  I don't want to be angry and before I took this medication I would always turn the other cheek, but now unfortunately I get real angry really fast."


"Weight gain and fatigue."


"I am male, 53 years old, & have been on Zoloft (Sertraline) 75mg for 1 year. My problem was with anxiety & I became very sick. I first tried Celexa & I felt worse. After 3 weeks I switched to Zoloft & quickly noticed an improvement. It took about 3 to 4 weeks for Zoloft to start working effectively. By the 3rd month I felt even better & any side effects stopped - they are: trouble sleeping & I took Ativan to relax me and fall asleep, and after 3 months my sleep returned to normal; as for sex, maybe slightly longer to orgasm but no sexual dysfunction. As for alcohol, I still drink & feel fine; there was sweating but this went away. Zoloft works, good luck!"


"I had a Mirena IUD for 5 years.  It was very uncomfortable and I would not recommend it. The removal "string" was like fishing line and jabbed into me all of the time and gave my husband abrasions. To reduce my daily discomfort, my healthcare provider cut the string short which made removal more difficult. I had a greenish weeping discharge that lasted the whole 5 years that made me think I had some kind of wound. I resented my husband the whole time I suffered this device, but I was too busy with work and kids to remember to take birth control pills.  It did prevent pregnancy and not having periods was sort of a bonus. I developed metal sensitivities during that time.  It cost about $500 to have it removed thanks to my husband's employer."


"Nerve pain after total knee replacement.  The nerve pain is in toes, they feel very cold but when felt the are really warm. After a couple of weeks on lyrica I getting hive like itches mainly on arms"


"Started taking Cipro for a bladder infection but had some bad side effects in the tendon in my right hand. Went back to the Dr. And he gave me Bactrim(Septra).   I took it for 3 days in total before I had to stop. The symptoms literally made me feel like I was dying. I had a really foggy head, headaches, dizziness, I almost passed out one day. I got zero sleep the whole time I was on it. My joints hurt in the night, my skin got really itchy and developed a rash, I also developed extreme anxiety and I felt like I was having a heart attack with the palpitations. I was close to panic attack  that's when I said enough is enough. I've never had a reaction like that and I have trouble remembering those days.   It was a blur of pain and confusion."


"I have had my Implanon in for over 2 months. After about 2 weeks of having it in I started to experience spotting but it lasted for around 7 weeks continuously and went and saw my doctor and now I am on the pill as well as to try to regulate my period. I'm not sure why but I think my libido has increased a lot since having the Implanon. I very much like not having to take a pill everyday to not fall pregnant."


"I had  Doctor give me Fioricet and told me to come back in 3 weeks to see if it worked for me, and it was the one thing that actually worked. So I went back in 3 weeks and he told me it was not part of a healthy diet and would not give me anymore. So really what was the point of the false hope.  I continue to suffer at least 2 days a week from massive headaches. My stomach is gonna fall apart from all the over the counter medicines I take way too much of, for very little relief."


"Wonder drug for Irritable Bowel Syndrome sufferers.  I use it as a preventative and am able to live a normal life."


"Yes, I only use this for birth control and has done it's job well (no kids), but I have gotten horrible headaches. I'm definitely moody, irritable and anxious. Switching to Loestrin. Hopefully it will be a better fit. Was on Yaz before but it messed up my gallbladder."


"Hi. I felt like posting here because I saw multiple reviews by people who had taken Zoloft for a few days, or a few weeks, and had bad experiences. I wanted to say that, though everyone is different, it will take at least a month or two before you start to feel "better" on any Anxiety med. Also, probably starting with a small dose and working your way up after several weeks would be a good idea. My GP told me to take half a pill, then go to a full pill after a week, which is crazy, and I had just about every side effect and dizziness for the first month. The second time around with Zoloft, I took one fourth of my pill, and ramped up every four days. If you have side effects, know that this is normal, and you will feel better soon."


"After a week I started vomiting. My mother also told me I called her in the middle of the night and was confused. I had no idea I even called."


"I had Major depression with mixed features.  I could not sleep on this medication yet would be very tired and could nap during the day. Took it in the morning and at night and both were ineffective for sleeping well. Woke up at least 10 times. Not helpful, made me nauseous."


"As far as a birth control that'll do its job? It's been great so far. Side affects? Where do I start? Mood swings (I mean MAJOR), headaches (non-stop), irritable, tired (24/7), I just don't have much drive to do a whole lot of anything. Hasn't affected my weight or acne situation as far as I've noticed tho. It's definitely put a strain on my relationship, I'm relatively new to takin it so hopefully all those little kinks will go away. Fingers crossed!"


"This is it. You might have to up or decrease you mg according to how you feel at first. I take 3, 18mg tabs in morning. It is the Concerta ER, lasts from 8-12 hrs. No side effects at all for me. I am calmer, more focused, and still get a lot done during the day. I easily go to sleep now. Recommended for ADHD though, not for ADD symptoms. I am energized during the day and do not "feel" like I am "coming off something". I highly recommend this."


"I live with chronic pain from many different health issues. I have 3 types of migraines, liver disease, Crohn's disease, gastroparesis, IBD, IBS, gerd, ulcerative colitis, pseudotumo cerebri too many things to list. However I stay in pain. I have been on every drug known to man and this is a fast acting medication that helps the pain and you don't feel like your on cloud 90. My insurance has been great and now they don't want to cover it but want to pay for a drug that cost more then this medication that will do nothing but make me in more pain because we get to play the guess game till we find the dose that will work if we do find one and then pay for more er trips. Not happy. Subsy gave me my hubby and kids back somewhat again."


"This medicine has allowed me to be functional with my allergies! "


"Much easier than last prep 10 years ago.  It does taste like cough syrup...but I just chugged the first dose and then followed immediately with the water.  Cramping as expected but was really over in a couple of hours...so I was even able to go back to sleep for a couple of hours after my 5:30 AM dose."


"In January of 2015 I weighed 285lbs. at 5 foot 7 inches. I do have high blood pressure.I started a weight loss challenge and in 3 months with dieting and exercise I lost about 30lbs. I continued the same regimen and by February of 2016 I was 238. I seemed to have hit a wall.  On recommendation from my doctor I started phentermine 37.5 in the beginning of March.As of May 14, I weighed 228lbs. The medications does give dry mouth and your energy is increased. I have about 20 days before the end of 3 months on the meds and will seem my Doctor then to see what she recommends further. My goal weight is 210. I am 50 years old.1992 when I graduated Police Academy in the best shape on my life I weighed 200lbs. I want to get near that and maintain it"


"This is the magic pill.

Taking this drug made me ace my exams and med school interview.
My first semester last year was extremely stressful to the point that I wanted to drop out the of college and considered doing something really drastic and rash due to how rubbish I felt. I cried non stop, I struggled with exams. Taking fluoxetine made me less stressed, I was able to concentrate more.

I noticed my thinking patterns changed. I was extremely pessimistic and sad about everything before but after taking the drug I started to view everything more positively. I felt like a magic switch redirected my thoughts in a different direction whenever I was thinking something negative. It made me more social and easier to get along with."


"These drops have definitely helped with the itching, but my eyes are still red.  And I've developed a sore throat and headache."


"I am a 35 year old woman who has tried hundreds of medications to help my chronic diarrhea.  I have had multiple diagnosis depending upon the doctor I saw.  They ranged from Crohn's, ulcerative Colitis, to Inflammatory Bowel Disease, to severe Irritable bowel syndrome, etc.  I have been tested for everything.  The only medication that has given me any relief and allows me work and keep going on with my daily activities is Paregoric.  If this medication at some point goes off the market, my only alternative will be to file for medical disability and be a shut in.  It is very scary and sad for me to that this may happen.  This medication has given me the quality of life I need, to keep going everyday.  "


"This is a great birth control, overall. I had one period about a week after insertion and after that, no more periods. I didn't really make me moody or anything. The only downside was that I was gaining weight. About a pound a month and very difficult to lose. After OVER a YEAR on it (and 15lbs later), I began spotting for 3 weeks straight. It didn't stop until I got it removed (I got it removed for the weight issue, not the spotting). It would be perfect if it didn't make me gain weight. I already lost a few lbs after getting it removed earlier this week."


"Just had it prescribed for my arms which are still painful from time to time 6 months after breaking both. Woke up with dreadful back pain today and thought it would be a good time to try one. It did nothing for my back pain but took the edge off the pains in my arms. My doctor said I can not take any other pain relief medication with this one, so I have to wait in pain for quite awhile until it is out of my system so I can take something a bit better. Not happy."


"I just had my mirena removed after having it for 5 years. After

only a few days of spotting and cramping I did not have a period for 5 years. I did however cramp a little every month and had mood swings. It was the best birth control experience ever and after having a few cycles I plan on having it put back in."


"I began using Saxenda one month ago today. I am 30 and started at 438 lbs. today I am 414. 24 lbs in one month, I have not changed my diet or began exercising more than I do already (physical labor)

I can truly say that Saxenda is working great, Nausea is a side effect, some days much more present than others, but it is a side effect so minute in comparison to the fact that I eat less than my wife (110 soaking wet) at meals where I would usually eat all of my food and polish hers off while waiting for desert.

Finally an appetite suppressant I can honestly say is working.

Month 2; I plan on dieting properly, Not eating sugars/fatty foods...and Month 3 I plan on exercising regularly again."


"I take this as an additional medicine for pain control and the deep tissue pain associated with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. The medicine is beneficial in helping the efficacy of the pain medicines taken."


"I have just started taking Zoloft for my severe anxiety disorder. For the last almost year now I have been dealing with this debilitating disorder and I finally had enough went to the doctors and now I'm on 25mg to start. I feel horrible (Nauseated, dizzy, feeling of pressure in my head, slight numbness in lip and jaw and itchy dry feeling in the back of my mouth) but I'm praying with all these positive responses about the medicine it will help me. I'm at the end of my ropes I have two small children. I'm trying to go to school and my anxiety is keeping me from being able to sit in class or go into the grocery store for longer than 2 mins! It has been horrible and came on for no apparent reason. I wish you all the best!"


"I have had knee pain and swelling since age 12, it has gradually gotten worse over the years. Especially since I was diagnosed with Lupus, SLE & DLE. In the past year I have had excruciating pain. I went to the ortho and was diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis. I have since had surgery to remove some dead bone. The psin got better, then worse again so I got the shot of SYNVISC. It has really, really helped. I am just scared something will change amd I will be back on the sidelines of my own life.  So much to deal with...."


"Getting on this pill was the worst mistake I have ever made. I had impalanon and it was literally the best thing in the world and when my three years came, I thought I'd give the pill a try. It's been 5 days since and I have never been more depressed in my life. Worst anxiety attacks.. I even had to leave work yesterday. I cry all the time. I'm numb. It's pure hell. Stopping the pill today and calling to get the impalanon back in."


"After 5,6 months of implanon I gained 15 to 20 pounds.  It is extremely hard for me to lose even a pound I joined a gym but after 3 months of going at least 4 times a week for 2 hours and no results I tried cutting back calories and nothing! Its very depressing  because I'm not happy at all with my body and I feel so fat and terrified of gaining more. Even if I take it out it can take a year for your body to be how it was before I'm so stressed out and don't know what to do."


"The combination of Cozaar with Atenolol has been highly effective in controlling my blood pressure, which had been intractable previously. After using the Cozaar brand name for some generic brand losartan. Over the next few months I developed a severe heartburn problem. I did not associate it with the change to the generic until a year later when certain other reasons I switched back to the brand name. Almost immediately my heartburn problem subsided. Please be aware of this if you are using a generic instead of Cozaar and you develop heartburn."


"I was taking Zoloft and my doctor switched me to Cymbalta because of my pain from arthritis. I started on 60mg a week ago. My mood is the same as with Zoloft, but I cannot sleep or think clearly. I will start taking it in the morning and see if it helps. My pain is better."


"I had been congested and coughing for five days finally went to the doctor and they gave me this medicine. I started taking it at 8pm last night and I have take two doses of it now. It works immediately. My only concern is it is now 5am and I haven't been sleepy or drowsy. I have been up all night with tons of energy. This stuff is really good."


"I have been on the NuvaRing for nearly seven months now and I love it. I am a busy college student and I was terrible about remembering to take the pill/I couldn't take it at a consistent time each day because I was never always home at a certain time. This lead to a lot of scares. Since I've been on the ring I have not had any adverse side effects. No weight gain, no mood disturbances, no pain, etc. It has been wonderful for me and I don't think I'd ever consider another form of birth control at this point in my life."


"I took this for about a week. ONLY A WEEK. It broke me out right away, and I was absolutely crazy with my moods. I'm still suffering mild hormone imbalance and acne side effects after being off of it for 2 weeks, but I'm just glad to be off. I'm not sure if it would have stopped my periods or not, but I wasn't going to try."


"I've had panic attacks in the past, are far back as age 5 or 6. I had a couple in my my 20's, and from 1999 to 2008 I fought a child support case and spent alot of time in jaiil over that period of time. In 2007-2008 I spent 11 months locked up in Detriot, Mi. where I finally beat the case by DNA and was freed. A month Later I began having regular panic attacks. I now have Chronic Anxiety associated with PTSD/Agoraphobia/and Chronic Panic Attacks. I started taking Xanax in June 2008 until March 2009 where my doctor then tried every drug under the sun on me outside of Benzos, and nothing worked. In January 2010 my Mother passed and the attacks became frequent after 11 ER visits and a doctor change I'm now on 0.5mg Xanax x 2 day."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I have had two colonoscopy in my life. The first one I used golytely. It was horrible to try and get that much fluid down and I cramped so horribly it felt like my stomach would rupture! It definitely cleaned me out though. This time I did suprep it was a cake walk comparably. No stomach cramps I just felt like I was peeing out of my rectum. I am not so sure however how well it cleaned me out the gastrointerologist said I was sufficiently cleaned but I don't think I was as clean as I was the first time. The taste of suprep is horrible but still it was way better than going through all that pain."


"I have now been on otezla for the magic 4 months the company says it takes to improve.  I am so much worse now.  My arthritis is so bad I can hardly use my hands they are so swollen and painful, most of my joints are swollen and painful, and my psoriasis has gotten worse.  I wish I had stayed on Enbrel, and as will be going back on it as soon as possible. I did not have any adverse side effects, it just wasn't effective for me."


"Start of 2015 my weight was 262 and I am 5'5, I started going to the gym and eating right and lost only 4 pounds in 3 months. I went to the Doc and he put me on adipex 37.5 first month I lost 21 lbs. I am on week 2 into the 2nd months and down 5 lbs . Dry mouth and headache  in the first month but haven't had a problem in the 2nd month."


"I am writing mostly because after having so many people tell me their horror stories about Lithium I was looking for something positive and found this site.  I was prescribed Lithium after my first manic episode and it has helped to level me out.  I was also on Olanzapene which I blame for the 20lbs I gained (being in the hospital for a month and then snacking obsessively and not excercising didn't help).  My thoughts of suicide are a lot less  for the first time in a long time and I feel generally more stable than I did even on Effexor which I was on for years."


"My child was on Eltrombopag for a few months in combination with ATG Horse and standard immunosuppresent therapy using cyclosporine and had a rapid response. Eltrombopag is a miracle drug. Our child did have slight elevations in liver levels (LDH, AST, ALT) but as soon s the drug was removed all levels went to normal again and my child held labs at near normal levels. Very grateful.

It is expensive but insurance will pay, but you may have to fight for it. I would fight for it."


"I've had Fibro for 15 years,  I tried guaifenesin years ago, but not regularly.  I was on Lyrica And Cymbalta, but the side effects are awful.  I started guaifenesin (mucinex) again less than a month ago.  So far, I feel great.  I still have pain, but I can move now.  The pain isn't debilitating like it was.  It even help my mood, which has been a huge struggle for me lately.  Im taking 400mg twice daily for now.  I can only have hope.   Right????"


"I have sat here and read every comment on here and I agree with almost all of them. Suboxone is a WONDER DRUG!! I was addicted to any kind of painkiller that I could get my hands on, and I had to have it every single day just to get up out of the bed. This went on for almost 4 years and I have 2 children that I was NOT being the best mother to. When I left my children's father, who is also an addict I met the most amazing man who also had the same problem but had been on Suboxone for almost a year and got me into his doctor. I have been on it for almost 6 months and I am proud to say that I am back in college and a wonderful mother who loves to get up with my kids everyday! Anyone who has this problem, please try Suboxone, it works!!"


" I'm on my 2nd round of necon 1/35. I started taking it because the doctor thinks I have endometriosis, but no one is really sure. My periods are extremely painful and I lose my appetite completely. The side effects of necon are the same as symptoms of pregnancy which is kind of alarming. I'm also even more depressed and anxious than I was before I started taking it. I take it without the placebo week and my period was lighter but longer. It's been two weeks and I've still had terrible pain."


"I wish I could rate this pill a -1. You are constantly hungry and moody all the time. No matter how much I eat I am never full which has resulted in me gaining weight. I cry at anything and everything for no reason at all and I used to never cry before taking this pill. I have been extreme PMSing for the past six months that I have been on this pill. I'm always sad or mad at something and its unexplainable. This pill doesn't help with acne at all...it has actually caused me to have extremely severe acne. I don't know why any doctor would ever recommend this awful pill."


"I had my first injection of Orthvisc on 08 June 2009. My next scheduled dates are 15 June 09 and 22nd June 09. I have had 3 series of the Supartz and I can tell a big difference in my knee. I am out of pain as of the first injection. No side effects. I am glad to be getting only 3 injections as opposed to the five of Supartz. I have osteoarthritis in both knees and the left one is the worst. The doctor wants to do knee replacement on that one however at age 67 in Oct 2009, my medical doctor does not want me to have the surgery yet. I am very pleased today, 10 June 09 with the results and pain free from my first injection of Orthovisc. Perhaps this is the answer and Medicare will pay for the injections every six(6) months. So I am looking on the positive side."


"It worked pretty well for a long time; I've been on it about 12 years and have had no real issue with it.  The problem is that I've been on the max for a while and it's not helping me much anymore."


"Have been on this pill for 5 years. Never had any problems with it , never experienced the side effects . Not even the good ones like my skin clearing up :/ but this pill is highly recommended and I would keep taking it."


"Usally works within 15 mins"


"Yes it worked but the side effects I dealt with for 2 months (give or take) wasn't worth it. I had to be rushed to the hospital last week due to the horrible migraines, pin and needles in my face, numbness and dizziness. It takes a lot to scare me and this pill definitely scared me. When I started the pill in March I bled for a month. Old blood tho (brown) with lots of clots. Some of them were bigger than quarters. When I called my obgyn about the bleed in March she advised me to continue to take it and that my body had to adjust and then just last week I was rushed to the ER.Talk about scary. I only went onto the pill because I have my i.u.d. removed. I'm still adjusting mentally from not being on it. It made my depression bad."


"About a week ago I experienced a somewhat traumatic event that kept me awake at night. I felt as soon as the sun went down my anxiety started to gradually rise until I had pain in my chest and was hypventilating. Nothing could calm me down or get me to sleep. I finally went to see my doctor and he gave me 10 days of Ativan. Last night was the first time I took one, or any benzo for that matter, and it was like a miracle worker. Within 10 minutes of taking one 0.5g sublingual tab it's like all the anxiety in me went out the window. I felt I still needed to control my thoughts to steer away from provoking an attack but it sincerely helped calm me down to a point where I felt safe and was able to sleep. Definitely recommend."
