"Started taking Ambien 5 years ago while I was in nursing school. I would sometimes only get 45 minutes of sleep without it. With it I could easily sleep 8  hours. It worked amazingly well. Now, 5 years later, it seems I have built up quite the tolerance and sometimes need to take 2 just to make me half sleepy. Another problem is my doctor does not like to give me refills as this medicine is meant for short term use. He does refill it, but only after a long lecture every month."


"Worst experience of my life!! I am so sorry I took it!!! I started out feeling great, more energy, then about 7 weeks in developed cardiac issues, had to wear a heart monitor. Developed dangerously high blood pressure, and became bed bound. I am now 10 weeks off of it, and am still feeling awful. I feel as though the life in me has been sucked out. I go for my SVR 12 in two weeks, however the results do not even matter to me, I just want my life back, my health back, this drug was horrible. "


"Clindamycin (300 MG 4 x a day for 2  weeks) was prescribed for a very serious staph infection in my knee/bursitis. The pain and swelling began subsiding within 36 hours. Should be taken with a lot of water. Side effects include a little heartburn after taking the pills and a mild vaginal infection after 2 weeks, so lots of yogurt should be eaten to avoid this infection."


"I have taken this medicine for at least 15 years now.
I started having panic attacks in my 20s and found out I had mitral valve prolapse,  which can cause a person to be more likely to have panic attacks. For years I took 0.5 mg
at bedtime, now take 0.75 mg. In addition to 25 mg. Lexapro once in the evening. Haven't had a panic attack in years.
This is a great drug, but it is hard for me to get up in the morning sometimes. I'll take that over panic attacks any day, though."


"I started it a week ago and it seems to have alleviated my hot flashes. Not totally gone but much less and much less severe. I am so happy to have it."


"I'm 16 years old. I'm a boy who suffers moderate acne. I have blemishes of previous acne. The down side is that I'm really white. I've been on retin a since september 1st. I'm on week 5 or 6 but my face is getting better. Acne decreasing much more. I still have the red blemishes and marks on my cheeks but I'm excited to see the result people say they see in 3-6 months. I'm prescribed clindamycin phosphate and antibiotic pills with cetaphil wash. I use retin a at night and then moisterize 30minutes after then apply clinda. when I go to sleep. So stick to this cream the white heads and stuff will suck but my acne bumps/marks are slowly disappearing even though they are still visible. Can't wait till I can clear up an feel happy"


"My name is Serena. I have had chron's disease for six years. I had surgery a year ago. I had a flare up a few weeks after surgery. My GI put me on humira and it has been a miracle drug for me! NO pain or flare ups. I get to lead a normal life :)"


"I love it. My doctor advised me, it's best to take right before bed. I get extremely tired 10 to 15 minutes after I take Xzyal. I also have to sleep for more than 8 hours, if I don't sleep more than 8 hours I feel drowsy all day and feel the need to take a nap."


"I have been using Ritalin 10mg for the past 3 weeks now. I am 28 years old and i suspected for a long time now that I have ADHD. Not being able to concentrate or focus, prioritise tasks and having depression (i am not taking medication for this) caused a lot of anxiety for me over the past 4-5 years.

Ritalin has helped alot with my studies and kind of calms me. I am pretty quiet when i take it also. Its great for if you need to use it for work or study , but for everyday use I wouldn't like it.

- In the first 45mins it gives me a slight euphoric feeling.

- Makes me want to do productive activities.

- Causes slight headaches if i don't drink plenty of water.

I would recommend it.

(I have tried adderall in the USA and that was even better)"


"Cymbalta was the worst possible medicine I have ever been on.  Not only did it not help my depression at all, it actually made it worse.  I also started taking it for Fibromyalgia pain which it did not help.  Indeed, I have had more pain since starting on the Cymbalta than before I was on it. I can't even count how many times I have considered putting myself in the mental health ward of the local hospital. "


"Today I got my 1st and I'm not hurting at the injection site but I'm feeling my uterus tight ..I'm nervous"


"It works great for my fibrocystic breast, but my period never starts on time. I start on Sunday nights and I won't get my period until Wednesday night/Thursday. Other than that it works fine."


"I've never been the type to get a solid night sleep. For years I've slept 3 or 4 hours and woke up tired but unable to fall asleep. It truly made for days and days on end of being miserable  I've also never been a "Pill" person so I never tried any kind of sleeping aid. One day I simply decided to try some form of OTC sleep aid and Advil PM was the first one I found. The difference it's made is amazing. I take 2 an hour before I plan to fall asleep and I am out. No more tossing, no more turning, simply laying down and sleeping. For the first time in my life, I look forward to going to bed. Only draw back is, after 6 solid hours of sleep, I tend to wake up feeling a little out of it but that goes away after my first few rounds of coffee."


"Very comfortable and soothing. I would recommend using it at night just to cut down on messiness.  It's not overly greasy and gross like I thought it would be- can barely tell it's there! Started applying it a few days ago and rash is on its way out!"


"I have been taking glucophage ER for 4 weeks.  The first couple of weeks it made me very sick.  I was told this was normal and to try to hold out and the side effects would stop.  They seemed to and then the dose was increased and I am sick again.  It works really well to get my sugar down.  Before I started  it was an average of 146 or 6.7 for A1C

Now the average is 101.  Since it is working I am going to hold on for a few more weeks.  I have been told that some people get used to it much faster than I have and some people take a few months."


"I had 2 foot surgeries within 9 months of each other that took me over 2 years to heal, and was given Vicodin for the pain. At first it was awesome, it took care of the pain but I slept all the time. After a while I ended up taking more to relieve the pain, which scared me. So I would go off of it for a month or so and live in agony to prove I was not addicted.  It detaches you from whats going on around you. I finally figured out that I would rather be in some pain than be so depressed as that drug made me feel. I just stick to ibuprofen now."


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


"I am BEYOND angry at how terrible my skin broke out while using this medication. It was a mystery to myself and family when my face began to break out terribly, to the point where I was prescribed oral acne medication and the painful cysts still didn't go away. This medication almost ruined my skin, I am so thankful I stopped when I did and read these reviews! It's honestly infuriating that this was the cause! I stopped taking this pill about a week ago and my skin has already cleared up substantially. Do not recommend!!!!"


"I have been taking Chantix for nearly 3 weeks.  I have almost all of the symptoms mentioned by other users and was really surprised to hear people talk about lower back pain, which I have as well and did not realize it could be from the medicine.  While the nausea is subsiding, I too, am angry and agitated most of the time. I also am experiencing episodes of severe depression. I suffered a major heart attack last October and was a two pack a day smoker.  I was having success using an E cigarette but when I had problems with them, I returned to smoking.  I am still smoking after with the Chantix but hope I will be able to stop soon."


"I started having mild ankle pain about two years ago that increased to severe pain now.  Doctor's still can't figure out what's wrong with me or what is causing the pain.  Is it my back or my actual ankle?  I have been put on many pain medications which haven't worked till now.  I am currently taking Norco 7.5 along with Gabapentin 300 mg 3 times a day and I am able to function.  At first, I was scared because I didn't want to become addicted but, when you can't function at all due to the severe pain, you put all those fears aside and you go for it.  At first you do feel a little high with the med but, your body become adjusted to it and you begin to feel normal and with less, LESS pain.  Take your meds as directed & follow up with your MD."


"I have recieving Methadone in a treatment facility for the better part of a year.  At first I was skeptical but after the first few weeks of treatment I started to notice a huge change in my "Mind set" (if you will).  I had absolutely NO desire to take other pain killers, 1.e. Loratab, Vicodin and Percocet.  Methadone has given me a whole new lease on life.  It's given me the ability to do whatever I want from day to day without having the cravings for Opiates.
I know some people are completely against using Methadone to treat Drug addiction but the problem with these people are that they have not gathered enough information about Opiate addiction and about Methadone itself.  Methadone has literally saved my marriage and most of all my life."


"1 is the lowest score option, but the ParaGard actually deserves a negative rating. It did it's job for birth control, but wreaked havoc on me both physically and mentally. Unfortunately, I didn't make the connection between my ailments (extreme fatigue, anxiety, depression, digestive problems,  just to name a few) and the IUD until many years after insertion. After spending a fortune on doctors, tests, etc  to find out what was wrong, I still had no answers, except to be put on a variety of medications to treat symptoms. I did some research and finally made the connection-copper toxicity from the ParaGard IUD. Years of my life had been sucked away from me and my family  that I can never get back. Symptoms still persist a year post removal."


"In 93, I found a wonderful doctor who prescribed me Methadone for my chronic pain. It really saved my life, I was a good Mom, worked full time and enjoyed activities. After 10yrs my doc retired from his family practice but continued his other practice- Methadone Clinic for addicts. Doc explained that because of our wonderful government, it was much more profitable to continue his Methadone Clinic. I am now back on narcotics rollercoaster and it's killing me, Health: gastric bypass, fibromyalgia, PTSS, Spondelylothis, DDD, spinal stenosis, IBS, MDD, herniated discs etc. Doc explained that because it builds up in system it then gives a steady pain relief. Methadone is cheap, our government makes a lot of money off of oxy and all the others"


"Nothing would quite fix me. Not antidepressants, or therapy or Adderall.  Depressed all the time, screaming on the inside.  Had days I literally could not do anything. Unfocused at work, hated my job, life and wife.  Changed psych doctors, prescribed Strattera, titrated more slowly than sample pack, got up to 60 mg. Way happier. Less sensitive - don't get hurt easily. Take criticism better. Wife notices big difference in mood- always thought it was depression.  It's ADD and Strattera is perfect for it.  Just hope it keeps working!"


"I was on Synthroid for 1 1/2 years I gained 10 pounds and had anxiety. For the first year I had full trust in my doctor, but later I was not feeling right. I had memory fogs, anxiety, and my weight was a problem. I used to be a size 4 and now I am a size 12. That alone was depressing. I took charge and researched Hashimotos Disease. I later told my doctor that I wanted to go on Armour and that I was done with Synthroid. He said okay and put me on a 60mg   30mg because he thought we would have to adjust it. Well here I am a year later taking 60mg   30mg and 10 pounds less without working out."


"Celexa 10 mg for social anxiety, 2 wk of side effects. IT WORKS.  I can feel my emotions.  (I would walk on glass to get another prescription).  Tried Prozac and Zoloft with out success, they made me feel wired. However, everyone body are different. (Hang in there, it's worth the wait.)"


"I tried NuvaRing and I didn't experience many side effects and I thought it was very easy to use however I felt that it didn't stay in place for me which was extremely annoying and made me paranoid that it might not be working."


"I take Ambien when I need to change my sleeping habits, or when my anxiety induces insomnia. I've had no side effects bad enough for me to remember, although I do get amnesia. I do my best to get right to sleep after taking it because I will do strange things while awake. Otherwise Ambien works perfectly for my needs."


"I have no problems with the medicine, I have been using it approximately 6 months. Only note nausea and upset stomach the first month of starting, but already passed, that and a bit blurry sight.
Compared with other drugs such as Lupron it is very good and no increased weight."


"Began Zytiga with Prednisone 4/23/14 when considered hormone resistant. Highest PSA 4/1/14: 214. Lowest PSA 3/30/15 6.0. Most recent PSA 5/4/15 8.6. Added Metformin 3/3/15. Also Lupron every three months and Xgeva monthly. Very few side effects."


"I have been in constant pain for 17years (since I was 12) RSD, Chronic Migraine, Fibromyalgia, myofacial pain syndrome, sjogrens, and several other things. Tried everything to manage the pain and gain some of my life back. The only thing I found that helps is Nucynta. I have been on it for about 4 years, (1) 100mg tablet every 4 hours. It's a love/hate relationship. It's the only thing that helps my pain, but I hate waking up every morning going through withdrawal bc I've been on it so long. I tried the ER but it wasn't as effective. I know it's not good to be on it for so long but I'm at a loss for any other options to try, and it really does help me be more functional than I was without it. Besides the withdrawal I have not had side effects"


"I have been on this medicine for over ten years, plus a beta blocker for my migraines and blood pressure.  I thought I could wean off of Amitripyline as my migraines were fairly under control.  About a month off of it, my head was killing me several times a week.  Now I take Amitripyline without question, and without pain."


"Cymbalta ruined my life. If I forgot to take it one time it would be like going through heroin withdrawal. Not to mention my brain feel like mush when taking it forgetting things doing odd things. Don't get me wrong the first 2 months was great but everything slowly started getting worse. Emotional outbursts, angry all the time, overwhelming feelings, unable to control my emotions, suicidal thoughts, blood pressure dropping all the time and the list is endless. I ended up making my doctor take me off this medication I felt like I was losing my mind. The withdrawal from cymbalta is absoultley horrble. I have never posted a review on anything online ever! But people need to know how terrible this medication is."


"I am 57.  For about 10 years I have had occasional episodes of acute headaches to the point of vomiting.  Finally got diagnosed with migraine about 8 months ago (for some reason it never crossed my mind despite a family history of it).  Was prescribed sumatriptan.  Now, when I feel a migraine coming on I take 1/2 or 1 pill, along with naproxen.  Headache is gone within 1/2 hour.  My life has greatly improved.  No side effects at all."


"Didn't worked I got pregnant while ParaGard was in place"


"Diagnosed 4 years ago with a CD4 count of 70.    49 months of Atripla and have been undetectable since soon after starting....and my CD4 is now 500.     As others have said, this pill is literally a lifesaver."


"Take for blood pressure and had weekly migraine aura. Only not good when driving, no migraines for 7 months now."


"I have spinal stenosis and osteoarthritis in my back. I was referred to the pain clinic and they put me on Tramadol after 4 cortisone injections failed to help the pain. I take one 50 mg tablet along with 500 mg of acetaminophen every 6 hours as needed. It works very well in relieving the pain for me. I don't take it every 6 hours, only when I feel I need it, otherwise, I just tolerate it. I have had NO withdrawal symptoms or negative side effects and it makes my quality of life a whole lot better. It isn't perfect, but it works fine for me."


"I have been getting the shot since 2012, before having children. After a few years I was scared hearing that this shot causes infertility so I stopped in 2015' within 4 month a was pregnant!

I had a good experience with the shot. My weight has been up and down but nothing drastic. The shot definitely protected me from getting pregnant and thats what I wanted %u263A I will continue with it because  not sure about iuds yet"


"I started this Medication 18 day's ago and I have lost 15lbs.
You can not eat what you want you have to eat right and get off the couch and not seat in front of the TV I am very happy with the Medication.
The Cost is very high I think they could make it cheaper if they wanted to but I am going to buy it and they know people will that's why they don't worry about the price and My Dr makes me go and see her once a month while I am taking this medication so I have to pay her also I have Ins but my Ins does not cover Wt losses. Medication or for the Dr Appt."


"Works wonders on rapid cycling.  I really love this medicine.  I know it is off label for bipolar, but wow!  I take it with another mood stabilizer, antipsychotic and a when required antipsychotic and antidepressant, and it has stabilized my Ultradian cycling that is so hard to treat.  I feel normal again.  I take 150mg.  Also can work in conjunction with other common weigh gainer medicines to cancel out the weigh gain effect - just a tip."


"I just started my second month on this pill after having my second baby. I was on ortho tricyclen after the first kid and had weight gain and my face broke out so bad. I haven't had either one of these problems with this pill. The only issue I have is so far instead of 4-5 day periods, my last one was 8 days, but I did notice my cramps were lighter. I would recommend it."


"I've only been taking this pill a month. My son was 6weeks old when I started it. I'd just finished the bleeding process from my pregnancy. My Dr put me on that day. I've been bleeding ever since. My son is now 12 weeks so I've been bleeding for 6 weeks straight off and on. I was trying to figure out why I was producing less milk then usual. I figured it out the pill. I will not  recommend this ("mini pill) to anyone. I lost weight after I had my son I was almost back on my pre pregnancy clothes. Today I went to get dressed and I couldn't fit anything. I'm completely bloated,irritable and I have constant migraines. I'm so done with this pill. We plan on getting pregnant on more time then I'm getting my tubes tied."


"Gained weight.

Too much.

Fear of cholesterol and diabetes.

Less work.

Lost a girlfriend."


"I was prescribed Zoloft for depression and I was on it for a month before I had to get off. After three weeks I started noticing a lack of feeling and it became difficult to orgasm and once the fourth week came around I was completely unable to orgasm. I want to give it zero stars because of how much that affected me personally but it did help a lot with my depression and I was starting to feel more like myself."


"I've been taking Victoza for almost a month now. I thankfully have no side effects and have lost 8 pounds so far. I have PCOS and for the last 6 years I couldn't loose any weight. I really tried everything: no sugar , gluten free, low carb ! It feels amazing to finally see the weight come off.  I have not been exercising but Victoza is helping with my cravings , I am almost never hungry and I don't think about food at all. It s amazing to feel normal again."


"I just started taking Celexa 1 week ago. I've been a depressed, sad, sorry person for over 15 years. For some unexplained reason, I was always so low. I began hitting myself around the age of 7 and would give myself nose bleeds. I'm now 28 and my self inflictions are numerous places on my body and my flesh will hang off my muscle. In the 4 times I have been taken to the E.R. not one doctor or hospital therapist has said or done anything to help me understand why. Finally, 1 week ago in the E.R., the physician put me on 20 mg Celexa. I felt really weird the first day. I have loss of appetite, minor headache. NO ANXIETY. Still feel low but I'm set an appointment for therapy. WONDERFUL FEELING! The world is different and not so ugly. I am tired though."


"After years of coughing all day, and sitting up choking many many nights with a sinus infection, my ENT in Tennesee, finally prescribed me dymista!  My infection went away with NO antibiotic. Now I don't cough at all! What a gift this is to my family. I do blow my nose immediately, since I'm sensitive to meds and I don't want extra. And I did have one or two anxiety attacks after taking, but I'm out of the Drs office and not coughing!!!! Coughing is exhausting. Praise God I am healed!"


"The first 2 weeks on Zoloft were like hell. I was drowsy, had nightmares and my stomach was a mess.
I've been taking 75mg for 3 month now and I feel like a new person . I'm mellow , easy to deal with and satisfied"


"I am 22 years old and have had my Mirena for 13 months now. Mirena is care free, but popping a pill once a day is not that much of a chore either; which is why I'm going back to oral contraception. After insertion I experienced constant discharge and bleeding for 2 months. Now, I don't have bleeding at all, only spotting for about 2 days per month. The shortened periods are not worth it for me. I get serious stomach cramps and migraines before each period now. I used to experience only mild mood swings. There's also dizziness, depression, irritability, insomnia and a VERY low sex drive (odd for a 22yr old). I want to get back to how I was before the Mirena, this is not the birth control for me."


"I lost 10 pounds effortlessly during the 2 week free trial. After 6 days, I had lost 6 pounds and at that point, started forcing myself to eat. I'm wanting to achieve a steady, reasonable weight loss. No side effects other than slight dry mouth and sleeping more soundly. An interesting side note, Belviq is curbing all of my addictions...sugar, bread, alcohol, gambling. It's amazing so far. I'm taking Belviq 2x daily with 1/2 phentermine tablet."


"I love it. No side effects. My periods have only been when I regulate them with pills. I have been on it for a year and 9 months and I'm not pregnant."


"I highly recommend this product.  I have been constipated for several weeks now and my doctor recommended 2 days before colonoscopy (in addition to prescription prep).  I chose grape flavored CVS brand.  I refrigerated night before and took at 6:45pm next evening.  It is very sour but carbonated so it was doable.  A family member suggested that I eat at same time to cut down on nausea which really helped.  At first I felt like my stomach was going to explode because I drank the 10 oz bottle followed by 16 oz of water.  Then there was a lot of stomach bubbling.  I finally was comfortable enough to lie down and eventually fell off to sleep to be then awakened by this urge to pass gas at 12:40am.  Don't do it!!!  Find a toilet fast!  It works!"


"I received an injection cocktail of Nubain and Phenergren after suffering from a Migrane headache that had lasted for 6 days. I was in ER for 4 days before that and the injections they gave me there wore off and the pain was back.  I was prescribed Fiorcet and it helped to some degree, but the headache was back when the medicine wore off.  Once I received the Nubain, I've only had to take 1 Fiorcet, and this morning, for the first time in a week, I've been able to wake up with no pain."


"I LOVE this birth control. I've had mine in since December of 2009 and have had no regrets. I'm very forgetful which is why the pill would have never worked for me. I've had my occasional mood swings and excessive periods but I would rather deal with that then to have a baby! "


"I started the pill not to long ago and I haven't had any problems besides bloating."


"I had very little side effects, I'm using 60mg (3 20mg tablets) and i was a little shocked how well it worked.  It was nice to keep an erection even after ejaculation only because my wife likes it when I can continue to perform for her.

I will continue to use  sildenafil as long as it's affordable..."


"This medicine has worked great for me in respect to my high blood pressure and irregular heart rhythm.  But caused my feet and legs to swell, skin on legs to peel, and tautness of foot muscles.

I complained to my doctor about the swelling, and he said I had damaged vein valves in my legs.   After seeing him, the swelling gradually grew worse.  One leg was enormous.  I started looking up adverse reactions on-line to see what could be causing this problem.  The only one that I take regularly is Metoprolol.  I stopped taking it immediately, and the swelling has been subsiding until my legs look also normal again.

"


"I bought this after having unprotected sex with my significant other. I bought it and followed instructions and took it as directed and 2 weeks later I find out I am pregnant. I am now dealing with an unplanned pregnancy and unfortunately having to get my first abortion ever. If I could go back in time I would have paid the extra bucks for Plan B. Save yourself the emotional distress and either refill your birth control right away or get Plan B that will work."


"So I had gotten the implant in my arm because I had read that this birth control could stop you from having a period yay right!  And the first nine days were fine and then after that I was constantly bleeding. I had the implant in my arm for a year and five months. I BLED THE WHOLE TIME! I also had some side effects. Migraines, nausea, gained 20 lbs, even had hot flashes. I finally could not stand it anymore and had it removed. It took me three months to start my period. Before I got the implant my periods were heavy so I wanted the implant to make it stop  and after the removal my period is light now."


"I'm a 16 year old girl who uses birth control for maintaining clear skin due to acne, nausea in the morning, and a heavy flow. I've tried many different kinds of pills and this one was by far the worst. I typically don't have too much acne (about 3 pimples per month, if that). However, when I started this pill I broke out all over my face. I have NEVER had this much acne before. I just picked up a new birth control today so hopefully when I start using this one the remaining acne on my face will go away. It's ridiculous."


"Been on this medication for over 12 years.  Works well for me. Calms me down without the "brain zapping" I got from Paxil and Lexapro. Dosage has been adjusted throughout the years. I am told 60mgs a day is the maximum dose. I am currently on 15mgs 3 times per day.  It took a good two weeks to get into my system, and I remember thinking it wasn't working at first.  It's no Xanax, but it has helped me much more then Paxil and Lexapro did.  This works well for me, and I have no issues taking it for the rest of my life.  I do get some increased hunger and minor dizziness after each dose for about 15 minutes, but that beats being anxious and worrying all the time.  It is also pretty cheap."


"I have severe anxiety depression. I've tried all the meds out, as my doctor would say.  Cymblatla was suggested. And me needing to feel normal tried it. Worst experience of my life.  Was on 40mg. Felt like I was having an out of body experience, like someone was pulling me, everywhere. Dr told to stick with it, and lower dose (I actually did, did not recommend talk to Dr first). Nothing changed. I was talking without thinking, having more and more panic attacks and higher anxiety. Absolutely zero libido, and I gained weight. I felt "happy", but a weird happy.

So, finally I TELL my doctor for the third time in 9 months, I want off this medication. Withdrawl symptoms no joke.

It's been a month and I still have w.d effects"


"I have unfortunately been suffering from cold sores since my first outbreak when I was 1 year old and being 34 now a lot has changed. Back in my younger years I was bullied because of these sores that would appear around my mouth. carmex or  Blistex did not work and Lysine only assisted a bit.  When abreva came out $30 a small tube back then I jumped at the chance to try it and it did help me keep the blisters in one area instead of them spreading more.  It wasn't until a year ago "seriously" that I finally brought something up to my doctor who told me about valtrex and I was under the impression this was for genital herpes only. Living in hot AZ has been tough on handling my outbreaks but with Valtrex I can manage them more and love that"


"This medication did not work for me.  It is important to note, however, that I suffer more from anxiety than depression.  On Pristiq I felt like I was on a constant roller coaster.  I gave the medication 3 (long) months.  I would wake up in the night with panic attacks and would surprise even myself with sudden outbursts.  Not to mention, it was super expensive. NOT worth it for me. I'm back on Zoloft and Xanax and feeling MUCH better."


"I got the implant done on June 1st. Before getting the implant I was on numerous different variations of the pill which all were terrible for me. Every pill I took made me really angry, made me gain weight and gave me really bad hives! So far with the nexplanon I have been able to lose the weight I gained on the pill and very rarely feel angry. The only thing bad is that I feel really emotional on this but usually its only during pms. I have only gotten one period so far though I am not pregnant. Getting it in was simple and painless! The only annoying part was that your arm is numb afterwards."


"I have suffered with chronic constipation for the last 9 years- it has got got progressively worse and I have literally tried EVERYTHING treatment and drug wise and nothing works anymore. I only pass BM when I have a weekly colonic irrigation which even now is taking over 90 mins to work.

Lubiprostone was a last resort- I am 7 days into 24mg twice a day and nothing except nausea sickness the worst bloating I have ever had to the point I can't breathe by the evening. My chest is tight and my arms are having muscle spasms. I am dispairing....."


"Commit are the ONLY thing that ever enabled me not to smoke. Patches, gum, hypnosis - totally useless. First day I took Commit I was over cigs. The prob is that Commit are HIGHLY addictive - as bad as cigs. I found myself later sometimes buying a pack of cigs to take a break from Commit! I used Commit for 12 years. Never was without one in my mouth during waking hrs. I would eat meals with one in my mouth, it was that bad. Recent surgery required I get 100 % off nicotine or DIE, and that finally did it, now I'm out. Commit will get you to stop smoking cigs but then you need a plan to stop Commit too. Don't be fooled, Commit is an addictive drug"


"I have been on Femara for 3 months. After taking Tamoxifen for approximately 2 years, which I could not tolerate any longer, my oncologist put me on the Femara. While my hot flashes have pretty much disappeared, the joint and bone pain I am suffering is unbearable. My elbows, hands, fingers, knees, ankles and feet are the worse. In the mornings I cannot get out of bed. I take thyroid medicine in the morning and cannot open the bottle. It takes about 20 minutes before I can close my fingers or bend my toes. Nighttime is also bad. After sitting for short periods I cannot get up. I have never felt better in my life except for the constant agonizing pain. I am a very active 49 year old but feel like I am 90. This pain gets worse every day. I can only imagine what it will be like in 3 more months. I I am seeing my oncologist this week and am going to tell him I am stopping this drug. I believe the quality of my life is more important that the quantity."


"Over the course of my regular meds. I found Tranzadone to be less effective.
50 mg dose gave me strange and odd dreams.  When my psychiatrist up the dosage to 150 mg. of Trazodone dreams got even Weirder and felt like my dream was more of a reality.  Go Figure"


"I was recently diagnosed with bipolar and began taking 25-50mgs a night to aid insomnia because at the time I felt relatively well. I appear to be one of the few to embrace the side effect of increased appetite, when I'm manic, depressed or even the slightest bit anxious my appetite disappears. I can go weeks without feeling the need to eat and I love eating! I used to smoke alot of pot to help with my appetite and racing thoughts. I'm now taking 150mg XR at night as I'm currently having a mixed episode. It helps quieten my mind and slows me down a little but I don't feel in any way zombified, at night soon after taking I get sleepy but that's about it!"


"Side effects arrythmia, chest pain and muscle stiffness experienced"


"Had lower spinal surgery that left me with increased pain"


"I've been taking Lamictal as a mood stabilizer and a foundation to treat my depression. Found it was insufficient on its own so doctor started me on 40mg of Latuda. It worked very well but I just felt "ok" and it was quite expensive. Tried to switch to Abilify but the restlessness was intolerable and the therapeutic effect wasn't nearly as palpable. Switched back to Latuda at 60mg and don't think I'll ever look back. Tried Zoloft, Celexa, Wellbutrin, Pristiq, Effexor, and Cymbalta also."


"After trying these for about 5 week's had to go back to Dr to change. I felt worse than I'd ever felt in my life I was so angry all the time for no reason, I cried more than I did before medicines for the first time ever I was thinking about suicide. It also gave me a massive appetite gained about ten pounds, which I didn't need so these definitely do not work for me fingers crossed my new ones will."


"I started taking this drug 6-7 years ago for school and planned to quit when I graduated because it made me anti-social, increase tobacco usage, and want to play video games all night. It was really effecting my personal and social life, plus I hated all of the physical effects (heart rate, cold hands, sweat). However, I enjoyed the high it gives you, and continued taking it after graduating. It helps lock you down at the computer and make boring work less boring. Now, I cannot stop taking it. Every night I lay in bed saying "Ok I have to stop this"., then the next morning I wake up and can't resist taking it. I am going to tell my doctor to cancel my prescription because the cons HEAVILY outweigh the pros."


"I was given samples of this after taking Triazolam for a while. I took it one night, it took forever to fall asleep, I slept for about 6 hours and had the most disturbing dream that kept waking me up and continuing when I fell back asleep. I'm not sure I want to try it again, and I don't reccomend."


"On Brintellix 10 mg for a week. Had to stop taking it due to severe side effects including upset stomach, dizzyness, head rushes, increased mood swings and suicidal thoughts. Really threw me for a loop. Went back to Cymbalta which at least keeps me on an even keel with no side effects."


"Nothing else worked until I took this"


"Was on Gleevec when I was first diagnosed with  Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Cancer  at 17, and for me the 800 mg was unbearable. Way too many side effects to handle and being brand new to the question "how do you tolerate the medicine?" I grew to dread Gleevec and went off Gleevec about 2 years and 7  long months later, and after a relapse of growths showed up, was put onto Tasigna. Though fairly new to it, I have had little side effects thus far and seem to tolerate 700mg much easier on this medicine than Gleevec. Definitely a medicine that is changing how I'm able to define my qaulity of life living with Stage 4 cancer. Hope all GIST patients are able to receive the benefits of Tasigna,(or Gleevec if that works best for you and your Cancer's Xenon Mutation)"


"I have only been on the patch for about a month, but I think that it's long enough for me to have a somewhat legit opinion on this medicine. So far, so good. I was on the pill before I started this, and I never remembered to take it. I would be hours late, sometimes missing it all together, and being sexually active, that's pretty risky. I love that I only have to change it once a week. I hate how sometimes it sticks to my underwear, and when I pull them down to use the restroom, they pull on it. But that's all about where on the butt you put it. I'm on my patch off week and I'm having awful cramping. That's the only downfall. All in all, great."


"I went on the depo in May '15 and just about due for my next dose. I like to have a positive outlook on life but my experience with depo has been dreadful! The evening I got it I started getting severe bug like stomach cramps, shivering and felt really unwell, this lasted for just over 2 weeks. Then about a week later I started bleeding and have yet to stop, on top of that, I've been losing weight, nausea, very sore breasts, bad cramping, low mood, fatigue, loss of appetite, strong sense of smell and taste (even gone off foods I used to love - almost feel pregnant in a way!) lots of migraines and over all feel very unwell. Doctor said I've just got to wait it out. Worst decision ever - never again!"


"I had my nexplanon placed in 9/2014. It started off great but the last 3 times I have gotten my period (which it states irregular periods in the literature, so I know this was bound to happen) I have had my period for 3 weeks and then 1 week without it. I am getting it removed 10/29/15 and cannot wait. I have no sex drive, and I used to, and don't seem to find pleasure in things I used to (hobbies etc.)"


"I just got sick from now this medication is never going to work for me I took at 3pm and I just got sick at almost 12 am not even sure if the medication passed through my system"


"I started taking this pill five months ago for terrible cramps. The first 3 months were fine. The period was regular and the cramps were nearly non-existent.  My mood has been up and down, and I am always tired. Last month I bled for over 2 weeks and this month I had only a tiny bit of blood. My boyfriend and I use condoms every time just in case so I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant. It's very scary not having a period."


"This was a great BC. I had absolutely no cramping while on my period, no weight gain and beautiful skin. I had no side effects. My period became regulated and I felt absolutely nothing while it was on."


"Work great for me, been on it for the past years."


"I took Tamiflu about 30 hours after showing flu symptoms. A nasal swab showed I was positive for Type A Influenza. I vomited about an 1 1/2 after the first two doses. I was tempted to stop the medication but did not. I am feeling nearly 100% better and it is now day 4. I would definitely take this again."


"I always sleep after 2.30am. It wasn't really a problem since I'm a freelancer and I could work anytime I want. But sometimes I need to wake up early in the morning I've always use Alprazolam to help me get to sleep early.  I don't like the feeling of taking it, it makes me sleep so fast and it doesn't feel natural.

I then read about this Melatonin and bought the 3mg, I didn't take one whole pill, I divided into 2 part. So I just took 1.5mg.. And you know what it works wonder for me! I feel sleepy after taking it and the sleepy feeling was so natural and I also woke with no drowsiness..

If you had sleeping problem try this one first.. Make sure you take the lowest dosage before you raise it..."


"I'm on my 5th day of Bupropion for generalized anxiety and depression and so far very happy.  Appetite is way down (food drive was through the roof before) and although sex drive has not changed, the degree of pleasure is up.  I had a feeling of lightheadedness for the first two days before it subsided.  The only real side effect is a mild case of localized dystonia at the base of my neck.  I have had such a positive experience so far with the drug (compared to the many side effects of other medications) that I think I can live with a little discomfort and rigidity for now. "


"My latest thoughts on Cialis and Erectile Dysfunction   Benign Prostate Hyperplasia.
As I arrive at age 90, erection and orgasm with ejaculation/emission are much more difficult to achieve.
Cialis 5mg daily still gets results including a sensitive slightly aroused penis but not a firm erection and at least one nighttime bathroom visit is necessary. Increasing the dose as high as 20 mg one time gets the same response as the daily 5 mg.
As usual, YMMV."


"Was given this medication for degenerative disc disease and muscle spasms.  I only take it at night, because it has heavy sedative effects. i.e. I take it at 7:00 pm, go to bed and if I wake up at 10:30 to use the bathroom I feel like I'm drunk, stumbling and uncoordinated.  Makes you sleep through, unfortunately didn't do much to help the pain, still wake up with pain in my back."


"Hydroxyurea significantly improves the frequency of sickle cell crisis, but it has a long list of adverse effects. But if the dose is monitored properly and complete blood count of patient is done on regular basis, than some of the adverse effects can be easily identified and managed accordingly."


"I am 25 and had the Mirena after having my 4th baby. It was a little painful and I had some cramps the first day but after that it was great and have been great for the past 3 1/2 years! I have not experienced any side effects. I would recommend this to anyone!"


"After trying a mixture of anti-depressants, I was put on Mirtazapine at 35mg, this strength seemed to exasperate my symptoms, making me feel almost crazy, the doctor upped the dose to 45mg and this seemed to be the perfect formula for my body. After 2 or so years I've decided to wean myself off them with the doctors help, back on a 35mg dose and finding myself struggling, feel exactly as I did when I was on 35mg three years ago.

I think Mirtazapine can help, it just depends whether your body is compatible with it and even if it is, fine tuning the right strength is imperative."


"I haven't had a yeast infection in about 10 years but I had them in the past and always used vagisil.  This time a friend suggested monistat.I did not experience immediate pain like the other reviewers but about an hour or so after I inserted the ovule and put the cream on it started coming out.  Not only was it gushing out but I was itching and burning like crazy!I washed all of the topical cream off because I thought it had melted and spread everywhere.I was almost in tears several times today because it burns so bad and the itching is unbearable!!I was barely itching and had no burning or discharge before taking it.I could smell the yeast and knew from past history what the antibiotics do to me so I called myself being proactive.DON'T USE"


"Heart rate was 240 I arrived at the ER within 5 minutes because I live 2 blocks from the hospital and yes I know but I drove myself. Second dose of adenosine lowered heart rate to 110 then it returned to normal within 2 hours. Didn't like the effects as it was given but I feel it saved my life. Felt burning from head to toe, head pressure and felt like a wave like panic attacks."


"I have had the Mirena for about 6 months now. When it was put in it hurt- off course. I have a sensitive cervix. I was in so much pain, I really wish now that I would have remembered to have the doctor numb me. I had to lay down for about 20 minutes on the table afterwords because I was dizzy. I also am pretty sure I can feel it. I am not feeling it as much now though. It takes time for my body to accept it. So, I wanted to share that I might be one of the few who have had NO period and weight LOSS). I was breastfeeding my second child, so that might be the reason but no "real" period, just some light spotting. Also, I managed to get to below my pre-pregnancy weight. Whaawhoo to that;) I HIGHLY recommend!"


"My father suffered from CA esophagus stage II A. it was very difficult situation he suffered from..had 13 cm of length in esophagus and after 3 chemotherapy of epirubicin, oxaloplatin and with Xeloda tabs ..it was amazing reduction in size up to 2 cm only..then we had operation and again same back up plan with 3 chemo and xeloda....its almost 3 years and he is safe i m happy ..thank god"


"I have tried a few drugs now that are for type 2 Diabetes.  My regular DR sent me to a specialist and she had me try Tradjenta, she said it would help me curb my hungry and such to which it did. The big down fall was that my Blood Sugar went sky rocketing I am also on Lantus pen slow release at night time. We upped my intake at night and it was even higher on fasting.  I have experienced weight gain even though I am not eating as much or carbs.  I have called every week with updates on the issues that I am having with no response from the DR. as of yet.  I have stopped taking this drug and back to just diet and exercise and Lantus at night before bed and guess what, my BS is lower by almost 50 points and this is just one day !"


"I'm 18, and I've had it for about a week now. The insertion was fine -- they had to do it without the cervix dilation medication, however, because they forgot to tell me to get it, and as a result i think it was a little more painful than usual. I took deep breaths and it was over in 5 seconds after some pretty intense contractions. After laying down for 20 minutes, I was fine to walk around. I highly reccommend just taking the day off. Cramps got pretty bad and i slept all day when i got home. Since then, I haven't noted any physical or emotional side effects aside from the constant light bleeding. There are occasional cramps, but they never last for longer than five minutes and occur maybe 3 times a day, so yeah, that's totally manageable"


"I am mid 40s male and had chronic back pain, spondylosis and degenerative disc disease for the last 5 years to where it became impossible to hardly move without being in pain.  I am allergic to codeine so the doctors tried Vicodin.  I saw nothing with Vicodin except tiredness.  I was asked to try Percocet 5/325 in place of the Vicodin.  Not only has it helped make the pain manageable I actually had the desire to get out of the house and do things that I have not been able to do before taking it.  "


"I suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder with a Panic Disorder. I literally cannot leave the house without this medication because certain things can set me off. I take a rather high dose and have tried to wean down and I got down to 3- 2mg tabs daily from 4 but can't go out at night without a PRN dose in my purse. It literally is a life saver if you have debilitating anxiety or PTSD. I am calm and in control on it and no outbursts. It also helps with my lung cancer when I get shortness of breath. I can start to panic which makes it worse. I know this is a very easy drug to abuse but I take it only as prescribed because it is so important to my functioning and having a good quality of life."


"Does not help, better when I was on metphomin alone"


Hyperlipoproteinemia Type IIa, Elevated LDL

"Good experience, helped with my high level of cholesterol and triglycerides. I used the 145 without side effects."


"Once accustomed to Benicar 20 mg., I love it.  After trying Lisinopril for just one day, I kissed the bottle of Benicar!  But best of all, my arthritis pain in my knees has gone away - an amazing bonus."


"Works quite well.  Shot is painless.  I don't generally have side effects.  I have the Orencia copay assistance that makes the medication affordable."


"I struggled with a fungus in my big toenail for over 10 years. I tried everything I could find in the drug store. I went to a dermatologist who prescribed an internal medicine that I was on two times for 4 months each time that did not cure the fungus. I paid a podiatrist a lot of money to perform laser treatments on the toenail which were painful and did not work. I was giving up hope until I saw the advertisement for Jublia on TV. I asked my dermatologist to prescribe it and it totally cured the fungus in the nail! It took about 9 months for the nail to completely grow out fungus free, but it was worth it! My nail is completely healthy now and has been for about 6 months. I am so thankful for this medication!!!!!"


"It worked well, my moods were more stable. The only downfall was that I gained 20 pounds. As a bulimic and anorexic this terrified me. I ended up going off of it to lose the weight."


"I have had 14 operations and where my back and neck was broke kills me. I have 4 bulging disc  and my m s contin 60 mgs is not working anymore"


"Worst BC EVER I've had non stop bleeding since I've had it in my moods are horrible I'm depressed I  have ruined numerous pairs of panties because of never knowing when I'm gonna bleeding may one day not the next or just randomly start. I'm emotionally worse after 9 months of BC. I'm calling Doctor tomorrow to get appointment to remove it  I went from having a 2-3 day period to having a 9 month long period I have gained so much weight I gained less the 9 months I was pregnant ."


"I've been battling insomnia for almost 5 years, mostly sleep maintenance.  I've tried every medication under the sun.  Belsomra is the new kid on the block and works very differently than all other "sleep" drugs (via orexin/hypocretin receptor antagonism).  I've been following and waiting for this drug's release for years.  First night at 20mgs, I slept 8 hours without waking once, something I haven't done in years, but boy, does it  sure cause next day sedation.  Well, tiredness is a better term.  Doesn't cause a "hangover" effects like other drugs, just a tired feeling is the best way to describe it.  Will try 10 or 15mgs and see if the next day tiredness lessens."


"I just started taking the drug olanzapine.  However I having problems with rapid weight gain.. In only 6 days of taking the drug, I have gained 6 pounds.   Tomorrow,  I'm starting to exercise at least 20 minutes a day.  Mentally,  I am feeling much better.  I am currently taking 5 mgs of Olanzapine along with 40 mgs of Fluoxetine once daily for major depressive disorder.  I know this medication is working because I am willing to exercise. So far,  so good."


"On my 3rd month of allopurinol 200 mg it doesnt seem to be working.

6.7 ua level 2 months ago. Still redness and pain."


"Frova takes my migraines away every time I feel one coming on.  It's the only medicine, out of trying several, that works."


"I just started taking this birth control, and I have absolutely no complaints. I'm a psycho about my skin, and so far it hasn't effected it in anyway and it could possibly be making it better. My sex drive if anything has increased while on this pill, and I have gained No weight! Everyone's different, so don't take the all of reviews too seriously! The only thing that I've noticed is that the first few weeks of my first pack, I was super emotional but that occurs with any birth control at first! My boobs also get a little tender the first 2 weeks of each pack but it's nothing that I can't handle on a scale 1-10 it's probably a 1.5 on the pain scale for tenderness so nothing to worry about all! It obviously also has prevented pregnancy."


"I have had chronic migraines for as long as I can remember.  To the point where I can't even talk to answer questions,  walk straight,  I have been accused of being drunk or high because if it.  They could last up to three days, the first time I tried imitrex....  It was quite literally the Holy grail from then on.  The pills take away any aura or migraine in about 20 to 30 minutes and the shots give immediate relief.  Wether or not it's a placebo,  I swear to the gods,  as soon as you inject into your upper thigh your migraine goes down a few pegs.  Within a few minutes,  nearly or entirely gone.  If you have migraines or clusters ask your doctor.  Don't take irresponsibly because it can have some weird effects on people."


"I have sleep apnea, and somewhere in the last 7 months developed narcolepsy. I almost lost my job, and spent 4.5 months on disability because I couldn't stay awake at my desk. I was falling asleep in my car, as a passenger and a driver, falling asleep at diner, on the phone, everywhere. So when I went back to work, I thought I was better, I had been treating my bi-polar with a lot of good medications, so I really felt ready to go back to work. Well about 2 days back to work I was falling asleep again. It was miserable. My sleep Dr wanted me to take a stimulant, and my Psychiatrist prescribed Vyvanse. The first 60 mg pill did nothing. I was falling asleep again. So my doctor advised me to take another 60 mg pill. It worked! I'm doing much better."


"I just started Adipex on 8/20/10. I haven't weighed yet but I will on 9/02. I will post my results. I currently weigh 195lbs and I'm 5" tall. I had my daughter about 2 years ago and the weight never left. I kind of jump on in. I bought about 10 bottles of water at 8oz so I can drink them daily. I start walking in the morning and cardio in the evening. I will keep that up for two weeks to see results. If my routine works I will keep going. First day I took it in the morning about 30 mind before I ate a bowl of cereal and I wasn't hungry for the rest of the day. I actually forgot to eat. Day 2 was the same way and day 3 I had breakfast and made myself eat a light dinner before 7. I love how it craves my appetite. that's progress. Will repost on 9/2. Stay tuned."


"This is the best sleeping pill I've ever tried. 30 years now, and still no tolerance issues. I wake up refreshed,  no hangover, unlike all the other sleeping pills, as temazepam is very mild, yet it keeps you asleep.  I take 15 or 30 mg, depending how I feel.  I have tried Halcion and Dalmane, which weren't very effective.  I also tried Ambien in the mid 90s and had horrible sleepwalking episodes.  This has never happened with Restoril."


"Was prescibed Lexapro for anxiety and panic disorder.  Only could give this a neutral 5 rating as the side effects stopped me after a week from experiencing the possible benefits.  I am told that this is a very good drug by my doctor and shrink alike.  It gave me more anxiety and crazy chest pains.  I was on 10mg daily."


"Worst experience ever. Do not use. Putting the cream on it hurt way worse than my actual pain before! Thought I was crazy then went on this site! Currently screaming and kicking like a child. If it doesn't end soon I'm washing it out and going to bed :'/"


"I hadn't had a BM in over a week and took this and I was able to go within a few hours. Not sure if it really worked or if it was just from drinking more water but I think Miralax helped a little! Will use again if needed!"


"I took metronidazole for a BV. It worked right away however my first symptom was metallic taste. Soon my appetite was decreasing. Day 6 I felt extreme nauseous. I have one more to take. I've never had horrible experiences swallowing pills except now. Day 7 and I'm still miserable with being nauseous to the point where I can't get up and do simple daily things. I hope I do not get this again because although the medicine works wonders, the symptoms have been horrible."


"Eh.. will not say I hate this drug but honestly I did not love it. I started taking it in the winter last year  and took it all the way up until about May, my results were nothing what I expected. Some days I thought it was working but really I don't think it ever did much. Anyways in the summer I stopped taking the medication and the sun did all of the work. But now I am not outside getting sun so my acne is getting awful. I was prescribed  to take spironolactone a medication know to help people with high potassium. I waited about a month before I took the prescription, I finally convinced myself to take it after reading the rates and results. I am excited to use it and hope for the best results. Also this medication is used to treat hormonal acne"


"I was a heroin addict for four years. I went through inpatient rehab twice and outpatient once. My family was at the end of their rope. In a final "Hail Mary," my parents decided to give Vivitrol a try (in conjunction with group and individual therapy sessions). I have been clean from all opiates for 18 months now. The turn around I've made in my life is remarkable. Medication used to treat addiction is tricky, because it will not work unless the patient truly wants to get clean. Nothing will stop an addict who wants to use from using. The only side effects I've experienced have been mild sleep disruption, but I am glad to be awake and sober rather than sound asleep and an addict."


"What a wonderful drug vraylar is. I feel normal again and am having no side effects."


"I got Mirena six months ago and I'm so happy that I did.  My doctor did not place Mirena while on my period. I took a pill which softened my cervix and had it placed the next day. There was a horrible pinching feeling when she inserted it, but it immediately stopped once inserted.  I didn't bleed at all until my period started a week later... but then, I bled for three months straight.  It was mostly heavy spotting, but it was inconvenient for three months. Almost to the day, three months later, I stopped bleeding and I haven't had a period since. Getting Mirena was one of the best decisions I've ever made."


"Most awesome drug. Doc must write excessive daytime sleepiness for insurance to pay. Practically no side effects"


"I have been diagnosed with Bipolar.  Initially, I really did not believe that I had this disorder.  However, I feel so much better after 1 month on this medicine.  I feel normal for the first time in 4 years.  I am happy and energetic.  I also notice a significant improvement in my memory and concentration.  Since the medication has made a significant improvement in my quality of life, I am no longer in denial."


"The first day I took alesse I felt perfectly normal. The next day I instantly felt nauseous and tired. The third day and 3 days after I had severe migraines that never seemed to go away even after taking 2 400mg advils. The migraines went away for a week but came back this week for another dreadful 4 days. Couldn't handle it anymore and went to my doctor who advised me to stop taking the pills and wait a week to see if the migraines continue without the use of alesse. Hopefully I just need to change brands of birth control to better suit me! I'm sure it's a great birth control just wasn't for me!"


"I am prescribed 1-2 (10mg) tabs of Methadone, up to 6 times every 24 hours. On the "good" days, I take a lower dose (like 3 (10mg) tabs in 24 hours) with pretty much complete relief & on the "worst" of days, the max dose (12 (10mg) tabs in 24 hours) makes doing the everyday "necessities" actually possible. The biggest negative I've experienced while on this medicine, is a MAJOR WEIGHT GAIN of around 1-2 lbs a WEEK (So like 40lbs in 6 months, before I started working out & dieting to compensate)! Also, this medication has COMPLETELY STOPPED my menstrual cycle! However with these downsides, I'd still strongly suggest this medicine for those with chronic severe back pain!"


"Taking pregablin for restless legs is great and works for me ....but I do have to keep a check on my weight because it cause weight gain"


"I was in such pain. Everyday I would push myself to go to work. Once I started taking lyrics I noticed a considerable reduction of the pain in my body, my headaches, nails, skin and feet pain diminished 50%. My energy level increased and my depression seemed less."


"It causes a rapid heartbeat and can cause blood pressure to increase, which is dangerous for people that have hypertension."


"As a first-time BC user, I feel Gildess is a good choice. Almost a year on it, no babies, and the only major issue is the few but annoying breakouts. Getting used to it was an emotional adventure but no major weight gain and my libido has even increased! I would take this pill over any non-combination pill and feel very lucky that starting with it was not too bad. Everyone's body is different but this is a good pill if it is a suitable match for you."


"I've been using victoza for 3 months now. 1.6 for few weeks then 1.8.  I had one night of sickness at beginning and another recently but in general it's more like the thought of eating food that makes me feel sick. My bowel and stomach feels a lot like I need to have an evacuation but I've not had diarrhea. As for weight loss I've gone from over 17 stone to 14st 7lbs in 3 months without doing anything. My Hbc1a has dropped from over 25 to around 7.. So everything is pretty amazing. I'm lucky that it's free for me in UK but it did take a few years to get it prescribed by my diabetic specialist nurse.  I don't know if there are any long term side effects but at present I believe it has changed and saved my life."


"This medication has greatly improved my quality of life.  Had many failed therapies. Now life is not 100%; however, it is in the 90s.  I am grateful for this medication.
Another issue:  I take 2, twice a day.  Cigna changed their prices from 50 copay each 90 day supply to 100 copay.
Nevertheless, this medication is excellent.
"


"Started this medication on 11/3 and I’m down 21lbs. My problem is definitely psychological/mental and Contrave appealed to me because it helps with the chemical levels in your brain. Started seeing a change on the second day. Not wanting the junk food and not as much. Was automatically choosing healthier food not even thinking about it. Was satisfied with having healthy foods and not feeling deprived. Also gave me the want to exercise and not feel like I had to drag myself to the gym. Did see the “effectiveness” of it wear off as I got closer to upping the dose which concerns me that after hitting the 4 pills a day I’m gonna stall out. Side effects: queasy after taking it and dry mouth like crazy. but makes me drink more water so + & -"


"I was on this medication for about 3 year for depression/anxiety.  During the time I took this medication it completely numbed any emotion that a normal person would get.  About six months ago I decided that I was ready to discontinue my use of this medication and slowly reduced my doses.  Coming down from this was extremely difficult and painful.  I would have the craziest/scariest dreams, intense night sweats, severe headaches, uncontrollable body shaking and muscle twitching, some nausea/vomiting, but the worst of all the side effects was when my heart would race so fast it felt like it was going to break out of my chest, and my heart would feel like it was skipping beats, and each time that happened I would get an intense head rush."


"The Best."


"This is an exceptional drug for pain relief but the side effects far outweigh the pain relieving benefits. I took Ultram ER,300 MG for 3 months for low back pain and like I said it was a savior for my pain. However, I started to have some strange dreams with muscle spasms, constipation and extreme fatigue. I stopped the drug about 10 days ago and have finally started to feel better. I am 73 years old and in good health, except for the back pain."


"I haven't had big issues with this pill. I was on Junel Fe, but my pharmacy switched it back in early February or March of this year. I haven't really seen issues with this brand. I used to have really heavy periods, but now with Microgestin, they are really, really light. My last period was the lightest I had ever seen it, which makes me worry, but reading other comments I feel better. Everyone is different. I haven't had any weight gain or breast enlargements. I love the fact that I start my period every month on the same day, Tuesdays, (or sometimes Mondays). It usually lasts 3-4 days. The only "trouble" with this pill is the lightness of my period."


"I had this inserted right about a year ago. I moved from the depo shot to the iud, i have also tried the pill in the past. The shot and the pill both gave me really out of control mood swings, so I thought this would be better. I will say that it is very effective, I have not had a period since I have been on it and have had no pregnancies. The major drawback for me is the mood swings and depression. The first six months were okay, nothing too noticeable. After that mood swings/depression/anger/anxiety hit me like a freight train. As for the birth control itself I would give it a 10/10 in effectiveness and ease of use. I'm getting mine removed because I can't deal with the emotional side effects anymore."


"Have been on and off Seroquel for a few years for severe obsessive compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. Self harm has been a big compulsion for me. With this medicine it really helps reduce that and many other compulsions. Only big side effect is weight gain. But after being it for half a year I realize I'd rather be over weight then have the symptoms i typically have."


"Been taking this for about 2 months, done absolutely nothing but pull acne out.  If you want good results fast definitely do not go for this.  I doubt that it will ever clear up at this rate. 4/10 only because it helped a little bit of zits go away."


"A few comments regarding my and others' experiences here. I have been on campral three times over the last 15 years so have a bit of experience here.

This is not a magic bullet. If you are not seeing a professional d and a counsellor for at least a year after detox you will set yourself up for relapse.

You will need to be on this for at least a year to allow your counselling and brain to kick into recovery. Don't fool yourself that once your cravings magically disappear that you are cured. It takes dedication to stay out of the trap and the middle aged coffin.

If you do relapse (read fool yourself that controlled drinking is possible for an alcoholic) keep taking the campral, double your counselling and pour the rest in the sink."


"For me it's better than taking nothing."


"I was pretty much forced into trying this injection because I have history of premature labor. I did it every week same day of the week for 6 months and I still went into labor at 36weeks same as my son without the injection. It made my bones hurt like I had arthritis and I felt weak. I wouldn't suggest this for anyone. It did nothing for me. And I was worried what it did do to my baby if it didn't help at all."


"Have been taking Lunesta, 3mg, for over five years getting 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night. The last prescription my provider filled was a generic made by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, believe me it is not the same as Lunesta,  I only get about 4 hours of sleep before waking. I recommend that if you have stay away from this brand of generic as it does not have the same effect on your sleep as Lunesta."


"I am on 150mg of Zoloft (Sertraline) daily.  It has been a life saver.  My GAD is under control, and I am enjoying life to the fullest.  Gone are the days of constant worry and irrational fears.  I also experienced few side effects as well."


"Helped with pain in lower back and burning in feet when I first started taking it.  Now, it has been almost a year and I feel like it may not be working as well.  Still working but I feel like I might be getting to used to the medication."


"I switched my birth control to chateal reluctantly because my previous birth control was discontinued. I didn't like the switch at all, after two months on it I went to have my pill switched again and my doctor said to give it more time, nothing ever changed. I gained a full cup size in my breast as well as about 10 pounds total. I also had extreme headaches, breast pain, and was virtually emotionless. I just had my pill switched and am starting on Microgestin Fe at the end of the month."


"It's not bad at all! Just drink cold and mix with crystal light lemonade mix! It's just like drinking lemonade or lemon-lime Gatorade. Bowel movement about 30 minutes after first cup. I anticipated it to be so awful but just drink with the crystal light it's fine!!"


"My son's father suffered for years with bi-polar, he now takes lexapro and has held down a real job for over a month now.  This medication has been so great for him and for the family members."


"I haven't had a bowel movement for 2 weeks so yesterday I took two in the morning and went to the bathroom around 3pm but it didn't fully help so I also took one in the evening. Around 2am I had the most painful cramps I've experienced in my life, but then again, it did clean me out and I didn't drink water so that was a big mistake. My advice is to take 1 if it has only been less than a week and 3 for over two weeks. The cramps are pretty bearable if the bathroom is right next to you, so good luck."


"This is my first day of use...2nd application. I already have some relief where I got none from lidocaine and diltiazem."


"I have been getting Iron treatments for a few years now...they have been long and drawn out, up until now.  I used to have to get 3 treatments a/week for 10-12 weeks...which meant my days were short and I couldn't do anything else.  Then the iron would last for about 4-6 months..then my count would go back down to 6.9 or 7.1 and I would start all over again.  My Doctor tried Venofer this last time and I had 2 treatments, lasting 1 to 1 and1/2 hours each and I was done...WOW! What a difference. I just went for a check up and my count was 11.7, and my treatment was in September.  Normally, I'm preparing to start treatments again, because my count would be down to 9 by now. I'm truly impressed with this treatment."


"Since I've had this inserted, I've had bleeding/spotting for 13 months. When I first had it put in a year and a half ago, I had my period for 6 months straight. It is effective when it comes to avoiding pregnancy."


"I've only been on this for two weeks and my acne is a million times worse. I'm so embarrassed to go in public because it's never been this bad before. Is it normal for it to make it worse before better?? I also have not stopped bleeding since I had my period what is going on??"


"So far I like it. I've only been taking it for a few days so I may rate it again if any other side effects start. My acne has cleared up a little already and I've noticed I've been slightly more energetic than when I was taking Levora which always made me tired. I've also noticed a lot of people said it decreased their sex drive. For me, it has increased my sex drive, but I don't self-lubricate, so it kinda sucks. But other than that I like it so far."


"I have had Liletta for a month now and it has caused me so much pain. During the procedure it was a pain I can't describe, but after it I was fine. Over that very long month I have had the worst cramping that I have never experienced in my life. I have tried multiple medications and nothing has worked. I have also been very nauseous and could barely eat anything. Everyone's body is different but I don't think my body likes it. I have a doctors appointment this week so we will see how that goes."


"I would say I had a good experience with Aldactone.  My skin did clear, although I do remember having a little bit of a break-out now and then.  I started taking the medicine about 6 months before my wedding (I was age 29 then) and I stopped a couple months after the wedding.  My skin looked very good and the breakouts diminished. I don't think I experienced any bad cystic type acne then.  I used the highest dosage of Retin A (just a tiny bit) at night also along with a Cetaphil moisturizer.  Since I was getting married, I was very cautious about weight gain and I don't think I gained weight from the medication, although I was going to the gym regularly and doing weight regimens. I think I'm going on it again. I will also go on Epiduo."


"NuvaRing did do what is was supposed to which was prevent pregnancy. I personally liked the pill better than the ring. I was on NuvaRing for about 3 months and had to stop taking it because of the ridiculous mood swings I was having. I’ve always had heavy and long periods that last about 8 days but the NuvaRing seemed to extend them even longer, to about 10-12 days but they were lighter. It also seemed to increase cramping which was something I never had problems with before but it wasn’t unbearable. Only issue was the mood swings that drove me absolutely insane lol. I wouldn’t say it’s the worst BC, but I definitely feel that there are better options. I guess it just wasn’t for me, but everyone reacts differently."


"I've been on 1 pill a day for a week now. The only bothersome side effect had been the restless legs and insomnia. I do great during the day, but this lack of sleep is going to catch up with me. I'm also scared to get on the scale!"


"Crestor worked wonderfully in reducing my cholesterol. It worked quickly and I was very happy with my lab results. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking Crestor because I developed severe muscle pain and aching in my legs, as I did with several of the other statin drugs."


"My hands have been deteriorating rapidly, they'd closed into a fist and could barely open them, was in pain every day that only huge doses of prednisone (not prescribed) helped. A few days after my first injection the pain was gone and my hands opened up again. I'm hoping this continues to be the case."


"Hello,

         I contracted the Hep C virus about 30 years ago. I tried the treatment to kill it about 20 years ago and the side effects were way too much for me so I had to quit. I have been without symptoms for all these years. However, in the back of my mind I knew I had Hep C and it bothered me. About 6 months ago I started having pain in the area of my liver. Thank God I went to see my old liver doctor a few weeks ago because I was worried. He informed me I had gall stones and that my liver looked great. The best thing he told me was all about Harvoni!   I started taking Harvoni two weeks ago. I noticed fatigue at days 5 and 6 but now its gone. I seriously feel better now than I have in years. Thank You Havoni creators and staff!"


"When I first started taking Victoza I got pretty sick on my stomach. So much so that I couldn't eat hardly anything. I lost a good bit of weight pretty fast, but I wasn't eating much at all. I tried taking a ginger suplement which helped a little. Mainly, you just have to get used to it. After a couple of months it was better as far as feeling sick. However, my 2 main goals were met - getting my blood sugar under control and losing weight. I have been on it for 9 months and lost over 35 pounds! I feel great now and my last HbA1c was less than 6 (it had been over 11). I was able to cut my metformin in half. "


"I'm a 33 year old male and have been on Lexapro for a little over a month now. The first day I felt like I drank tons of coffee..I felt good but wired. Then I felt tired all the time for the next following weeks. But for the past week or so I have been feeling awesome, more confident, talkative, happier but still very sleepy. It's great because I actually sleep the whole night but its so hard to wake up. I get to work late sometimes. I tried switching to taking it midday but by 7pm I'm ready for bed. I'm still happy and love it but the drowsiness and yawning are irritating because I want to do more with my evening."


"I have severe nausea and vomiting due to an extreme case of endometriosis. I have to be hospitalized because of pain, weakness and dehydration because of severe vomiting. I can't even hold down a tiny sip of water for 2 mins. I have tried every medication possible and
Zofran ODT is the only thing that gives me relief! It is a prescription I always have on hand at all times."


"My problem was at 09:00 pm every night I would get an incredible uncontrollable cravings for snacks. On weekends, my brain would convince me that I had to reward my weeks work with a 12 case of beer. This medication has effectively eliminated cravings for munchies and beer with no problem. I had high blood pressure 160/100 at the beginning of March 2017. Over 6 weeks, I’ve lost 8 Kg (17.6 lbs). My goal is to lose another 30 Kg (66 lbs). My blood pressure has dropped to 127/80. The only side effect for me was tiredness. I started out at .6 for the first week and on the second week tried 1.2, but felt really tired. I went back to .6 plus adding one additional tick of the pen each day. I’m now on 2.4 and experience only mild tiredness."


"This medication worked to clear up my sinus infection but gave me BLINDING, and I mean BLINDING headaches to the point where I couldn't even move my head without wincing in pain.   That was the only side effect I experienced though.  My guess is it's a pretty strong antibiotic and can affect everyone differently."


"Major gastrointestinal side effects including nausea and diarrhea"


"I had tried a number of medications for high blood ressure and this is the first one that consistently worked.  If I took it in the morning without eating I would feel nauseous, but if I take it at night I have no bad side effects.  I really like this medication."


"The pro of this pill is it did regulate my period, but that's the only pro. I was on it for 6 months and stopped. It made me sick all the time I gained 15lbs if not more and stay bloated. My mood swings were out of control and I'm a pretty chill person. It may worked great for some but just not for me."


"All of my life I have suffered from anxiety and it's painful I can't function In life I am sick of my life being controlled by these issues. I was prescribed this medication for my blood pressure but my Dr. mentioned it works for anxiety as well. Day 2 I feel relaxed physically but my mind still races and last night I had a very vivid nightmare which hasn't happened in a while. But I can deal with the nightmares. Today still day 2 I can actually speak to my family and care for my screaming newborn without wanting to run away. I like it so far. Reading positive reviews helps a lot."


"i was prescribed 2.5mg dose.

this medication has been excellent in reducing my hyper-vigilance.

it has allowed me to sleep normally again.

one side effect is it made my sleep apnea far worse.

this caused reduced functionality in areas such as work.

overall positive experience.

just be aware of potential for compounding sleep apnea."


"I just wanted to post my encouraging experience. I got mine done 2 months ago after being on the pill for 3 years, prior to my appointment I couldn't help reading all the horror stories. I decided to change to the implant because it is the most reliable contraceptive method.

The procedure was so simple and only hurt a tiny bit, and only left me with a small bruise which I had for about a week. I got the implant inserted on the second day of my period and the bleeding stopped the same day. After 3 week with the implant I had another period around the same as what is normal for me, maybe slightly lighter. other than that, no weight gain (lost 2lbs), increased sex drive and much happier in general!
I love it! Definitely worth a try! "


"I began taking Zoloft in March 2015 after testing Lexapro and Prozac. My SA/MDD improved, but I still had a lot of trouble with socializing and suicidal thoughts, so I decided to quit taking it and also switched to online schooling. Around Jan. 2016, I noticed I was getting worse and finally decided to go back on the medication. I started 25mg with no change. Slowly began increasing it to my current dose of 100mg combined with 5-15mg Buspirone (previously .25mg Xanax) and this is the worst I've ever been. I have nearly every side effect, even suicidal thoughts, and I have a panic attack just thinking of leaving my home and being around people. Definitely switching to something else soon."


"I have only been using Duac gel for three days now, so far it has evened out my skin a lot, in terms of redness and improved my spots from the first application. It does seems my spots are getting slightly worse, but I think it has to get worse in order to get better. I do get a bit of dryness but no other side effects. So far very impressed."


"My 10yr old son has been on Vyvanse for 1.5yrs. Worked GREAT in the beginning. Grades, handwriting, organization and attitude improved. I worry about long term effects. I just recently noticed a change in his behavior. Getting grouchy, irritable, not focusing & his grades are falling. I give him "breaks" during x-mas vacation & summer. However he has side affects from getting off & getting back on that are scary. He starts hallucinating & wants to hurt himself. Its been 2.5mos since he has been back on after summer break. It just doesn't seem to be working like it did before. I am trying to adjust his dose while working with his Doctor, but I don't like the effects. I would love to take him off for good but know he would struggle even more in school."


"I've had major depression mostly everyday for the last 2 years and this medication is a lifesaver.  After being on mostly every SSRI and on several different dosages I never got complete relief from them. They helped to give me a slightly better mood on most days but the depression was always there. After doing a lot of research I told my psych I wanted to try mirtazapine.  After roughly two and a half weeks on 30 mg (15mg didn't help) I've never felt better.  It also took away most of the night sweats that I was getting from SSRIs. I've read some people complaining about weight gain as a side effect, I would advise to not worry about weight gain if you actually have major depression, once the depression lifts you will be able to eat healthy."


"It have been effective w/all the symptoms that's associated w/anxiety"


"As of today, August 30, 2011 I've been taking Adipex for exactly one week and I've lost 9 pounds. I think it works wonders aside from the cotton mouth, restlessness, and jitters. It also gives me an extra little push of energy. I love it. I'm eating healthier, drinking plenty of water and taking the stairs now instead of the elevator. I haven't even done any strenuous exercise. I love love LOVE it!"


"Topamax, I’m not sure what a decade of using topamax has or has not caused, it is NOT reliably controlling siezures until I started ketogenic lifestyle, in fact the high fat diet has totally taken away my tremors in head that I felt on daily basis, my Clinic had me in for 5 days in hospital testing and determined to lower my topamax level upon leaving by 100 mg. I was on 400 and lowered to 300. Today I have depression fibromyalgia and most my ligaments or hurt.
Joints feel like they are rock hard swollen and painful, I can barely use my thumbs anymore but I refuse to go to do tools for fear of more medication, they never find anything wrong but proof is in pudding, bulging achilles and wrists, right side pain every joint I have hurts "


"My cardiologist took me off Toprol and Lisinopril because he "wanted me to know when I was having Atrial Fibrillation".  I am an EMT, so I know when I am in A-Fib.  The Flecainide did not help suppress the A-Fib.  I had more episodes while on the medication, was lightheaded while in A-Fib and felt like I was going to pass out.  My doctor took me off it and put me back on the other medications and I felt much better. "


"I love this medication! Previously I was using Finacea for my rosacea, and it sometimes burned and dried out my face, had to be applied twice daily, and after seeing the results from Soolantra, wasn't really effective. Soolantra is once daily, creamy and soaks in well, and has done an awesome job. I have gone through two tubes in about 7 months. At first I used it daily, now it's about 3-4 times per week."


"
Hell no, never again! severe stomach cramps not worth it !"


"I've been taking Celexa for almost a year now and it's been wonderfully helpful.  I've had depression/anxiety on and off for years (as well as hypothyroidism).  However, I was always hesitant to take any medication that I didn't feel was "absolutely necessary", so I never took anti-depressants before trying Celexa.  Initially, I started with 20 mg and that worked well for a couple of months, but then I needed to go up to 40mg and that has been the dosage that works consistently for me.  Other than the first few weeks of treatment, I've had NO bad side effects whatsoever. It has really increased my sex drive (which has been non-existent for years).  "


"I took it for a while mainly for acne and I wanted the IED but my OB suggested I try this as a birth control method as well as help with my acne after I had my first child. I must admit it did wonders on my periods and acne. I had lighter and shorter periods but my sex drive went DOWN. I also missed a weeks worth of the pill due to not picking it from the pharmacy so I waited till my next period to restart it and now I'm nauseated and cramping super bad, this is the second day back on it and my period ended just last week. I started my period again right after taking the pill the Sunday after my period ended and now I feel like POO. I know it will pass as I take it as I said above I had a great first experience besides having no sex drive."


"Been on Flomax for 6 weeks. 4.8 mm stone still hasn't passed. It is getting close though as I feel like a small elephant on a pogo stick is jumping on my bladder."


"First I must say this page and all the reviews I have just read helped me SOOOO much so thank you to everyone on here. I have suffered with lower back disc pain for about 30 years but I lived with it, I spent a crazy amount of money on physical therapy, chiropractors, and doctors with zero results. I finally was referred to a surgeon in Feb. of this year and told I have 3 herniated discs that would require surgery in July to repair them with metal ones. At that time I was put on 2 x 10mg of Percocets every 4 to 6 hours.  After 4 months I ended up in the E.R in excruciating pain. Dr. put me on gabapentin 2 times a day, I'm on day 6 and I'm pain free! Dry mouth is only side effect and slight dizziness, and down to 1 Percocet a day!"


"I've been on this prescription 4 times this year. I caught c-diff after having a vulvectomy and then the next day emergency gallbladder surgery.  So I had it for three separate 14 day rounds to get rid of that, (cdiff much harder to get rid of then bv) now a month later doctors told me I have a bv. So on a 7 day round. The taste is God awful! I get head aches, dry mouth consently thirsty, bloading/gas and yeast infections. But after being on it 3 days the symptoms of the bv are definitely starting to subside. Good luck ladies!!"


"I have severe plaque psoriasis and in just 3 months it is like night and day with just a trace of it left. it is not a shot just 2 pills a day. I fell 99 better at this time. Much clearer then I was with Embrel. I gave it a 9 only because there is always something they will improve on but I am very happy with it."


"Maxalt was a wonderful medication for two years, then its effectiveness rapidly diminished.  My unforeshadowed migraines feature very mild headaches; instead, I first lost my sense of balance, then my lunch, and then the desire to live for the next three hours. Although I was on a migraine-suppressing tricyclic and metroprolol, migraines would punch through two to eight times a month. Maxalt shutdown such migraines within 20 minutes-no side effects. (NOTE: Maxalt did not suppress the rare aura).  After further adjustment of my daily medicines, my rescue medicine became Relpax   2 Aleve."


"I have had 20+ warts on my knees and nothing had seemed to be working. I got multiple treatments of lasering, freezing, and at home remedies. Nothing worked because they continued to grow back...until I got prescribed with Imiquimod. So far I used the cream packets for about 2 weeks now and most of the warts are turning an ashy/grey/crusty black color. Ive read they are supposed to fall off after they turn those colors. Super please with the cream, just wish someone told me about it earlier!"


"Hello! Well... I've never had an acne skin. I have a mixed-oily skin and I have some acne when I get stressed. That' s the reason why I visited a dermatologist. The doctor recommended me to use epiduo (every night), after I wash my face with a foam (I use the same foam in the morning with a gel cream after it and a moisturizing cream, as many times as I want). Doctor informed me that this cream may affect me (redness, itching, drought, pain) but my face got like sunburned and it was scratching me so much. I was afraid and I stopped it yesterday. I don' t know if I continue using this cream."


"My Mirena was inserted in June of 2006. 6 weeks after the birth of my first child. My 5 years with Mirena has almost expired.  I am very pleased with the performance of this device. When my Mirena was inserted I experienced approximately 5 months of spotting. I have not had a period in over 4 years. Since my last period I have experienced light spotting, most common after intercourse. I must say I have no complaints. "


"I had a back injury in the Marine Corp in 1989 I have had 7-9 on the pain scale for over 15 years. I have been on morphine 30mgs 6 times a day, Vicodin 10/325 for over six years oxycodone, hydrocodone, fentanyl patches 150 mg every 72 hours, almost any pain medicine you can think of.  I stopped my Vicodin cold turkey after six years, If you have been on pain meds you know what withdrawal is and how painful it can be. I went right to gabapentin.  Oh My God thank you for this pill it is amazing, absolutely zero withdrawal effects from the Vicodin and I was on over 300 mg a day for six years.  I mean it zero withdrawal symptoms. I feel zero back pain and I mean zero. This pill is a miracle I'm on 900 mg 3 times a day."


"I am 31 years old and have been taking dilantin since I was 14 years old. It works very well for me and the only time I ever had any complications is when I have gone more than 1 day without taking it. I suggest a days of the week pill holder to anybody that has a problem remembering to take their meds."


"This Rx helped me immediately.  Have only used for one week but I was amazed!"


"I am 25. I have been taking gabapentin sense I was 17. I must say that I can't live without it. It makes me feel "my normal". Anyway, it calms my nerves - but not like a volume ...it makes me feel really good. I feel like I can do and achieve just about anything! I wouldn't want to be without it. I am prescribed 800 mg gabapentin. I take 1600 mg when I get up in the morning.  Gabapentin changed me..personally..for the better. I love my medicine!"


"Broke out into a rash on chest and back."


"I've always been a worrier, since I was a child. I assumed it was normal because it was all I'd ever known. After a bad break up and alot of professional stress I decided to see my doctor for a "crutch" to get me through the worst of it and was fully intending for the medication to be a short term situation. I've always been against taking medication for my stress. However, in the two months I've been on Celexa I've decided I'd be more than happy to stay on it forever, as long as it keeps working. The obsessive worrying is just gone, poof! I can worry about something for a few minutes and then move on with my life. I'm happy and vibrant and I feel completely normal now. I had side effects - Yawning, sleeplessness only for the first 2 weeks"


"Got Liletta inserted May 24th 2017. Had originally went in on May 23rd but after 800 mg of ibuprofen and 30 mins spread eagle in the terrible clamps of vaginal agony my physician told me that my cervix was 'too tight' and that she was 'getting a lot of resistance' when trying the procedure, which she showed me and was admittedly small. So I was rescheduled the next Monday. I went with a different doctor and prescribed Misoprostol to take that night and dilate my cervix. And T3 for the pain. And thank God! Lol it was over in 30 seconds but it brought tears to my eyes. Cramped pretty badly for the next 6 hours. Then mild cramps and low back soreness for a day. Day three has delivered me terrible acne. But no crazy spotting or pain. Will review as I go."


"I started Aviane 5 months ago for birth control. For the first 3 months, my periods were irregular, but now occur during the placebo week. I've experienced slight mood swings, less period cramps, and an increase in cup size(s). My acne and weight have stayed the same. Overall recommend!"


"Began morning dose today.  One afternoon "guinea pig"  dose yesterday to examine for side/effects.  No changes in mood,  no craving for smoking  in the morning"


"The only medicine that keeps my migraines manageable. I take it along with Topiramate and a beta blocker, atenolol as well as the when required medicines for when one strikes (Naprelan, and either Frova or Axert or Sumavel injection)."


"My daughter is 15 and had increase confusion, zombie effect, was Not a good medication for her"


"30mg twice a day, blood pressure averages 140/85. 60mg twice a day blood pressure averages 112/69.  After 6 hours, blood pressure goes up to 170 /110 .  Unfortunate side effect of erectile dysfunction.  20mg of Levitra helps a little.  Doctor is now trying me on Terazosin so we'll see."


"Whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE THIS! I would not recommend this for acne. 4 weeks into the treatment I was sent to the hospital, with a very bad fever it became hard to breathe. A couple days after I came home from the hospital My whole body felt like pins and needles on the inside and itchy on the out! :( most horrible thing I've went through. honestly accutane was less of a pain than this. I'd take dry lips to pins and needles any day."


"I won't lie it hurts like being snapped with a wet towel tail, but not as much as my light sensitive migraines do. My daughter also suffers from migraines, and she's a big baby about pain but will take a dose. Before this my migraines would ruin my day. I would have to lay in the dark with a bucket and suffer, praying I could keep my oral medication down. Now I DosePro lay down for 30 minutes and I am back to normal. It literally has changed my life, anyone who suffers from migraines knows the feeling of a migraine building knowing that pain is coming and trying to head it off with oral Meds and then failing to stop it. The endless hours of horrific pain. Luckily my insurance covers it, but I'd buy it whatever the cost."


"Poison- don't take this! Lots of terrible side effects, it got so bad that I lost my far vision at the store one day, I could only see things within a foot or two. It took 10 minutes for my vision to return to normal. Poison!"


"I was subscribed Soma when I was recovering from an accident where I fractured my clavicle.  I was directed to take only at bedtime.  I was experiencing a lot of nerve pain from the injuries and having a hard time sleeping -- I could only sleep on my back and I have lower back problems to begin with.  I found Soma to be a wonderful sleeping aid that allowed me to get a solid pain-free night of sleep and wake up refreshed in the morning without feeling groggy or sedated.  I took Soma almost every night for a couple months and experienced no withdrawal symptoms when I stopped.  I would highly recommend it for insomnia but I wouldn't feel qualified to attest to it's effectiveness for other purposes."


"I've been on Effexor XR for about 9 years now (150mg once a day). I originally started taking it for A.D.D. and mild depression. It has worked incredibly for me. I went from no attention span to extremely focused. I also went through some events that increased my depression, and by upping the dosage, I was fine. The only side effects I've had are extreme withdrawal symptoms if I miss a dose (severe headaches and jitters), and a decreased sex drive. I would strongly recommend this drug."


"After 37 years of smoking 11/2 to 2 packs a day I am now 3 years smoke free. Chantix did that for me. Except for having a little nausea it was a piece of cake.  I still think I want a cigarette every now and then but, the thought leaves as soon as it begins."


"I am 39 and have never had PMS to speak of.  I have been on birth control pills for over a decade (Estrostep, OrthoTricyclen) with no problems.  Went on Gianvi and it was a nightmare.  I stuck it out for 3 months as my body adjusted thinking it would get better but if anything, it got worse.  The 10 days or so before my period I was tense, stressed and depressed. It had such a negative impact on my life.  And no sex drive to speak of.  The only positive thing I can say is that I did not notice worsening of any weight or acne problems.  "


"The first few weeks after my first shot were great. I didn't have any side effects. My period came two weeks late the first month and after that all hell broke loose. My period lasted ten days and ever since O have had a brown discharge. It hasn't stopped in two months. I also have horrible mood swings now. I haven't gained weight and not having to take a pill everyday is really convenient, but overall it isn't worth it."


"I have had absolutely no problems with Tri-Sprintec.  I don't have any side effects at all.  No weight gain, no mood swings, no depression, no anxiety, no nausea, same sex drive.  (No increase in breast size either - I WISH I had that side effect!)   I feel exactly the same taking this as I did not taking any birth control.  The only difference is my periods are lighter and shorter, and my cramps are no longer severe.  By the way, I was really scared to take this because of the negative reviews I read!  But before you decide this is a bad pill, give it a try.  Every woman's body is different and your experience will just depend on your body!"
