"It definitely works. I've been on it for six months and have not become pregnant. There was slight nausea and some change in irritability but I am overall happy with it. My skin is also flawless!"


"This pill has made me so emotional. I'll be crying over the most pointless things and can't seem to control my emotions. I was never like this before, although it has lightened my periods."


"I have to rate this a 5/10 because on one hand it is REALLY effective. My husband and I use no form of backup contraceptives (i.e condoms) and have not fallen pregnant. I also rarely have periods, and when I do they are fairly light. However, on the other hand I have been on the implant for 1 year and 8 months, and have gained SO much weight. I have gained upwards of 30 pounds, and I have been trying to figure out why. My eating/fitness habits have not changed one bit since I got the implanon inserted, so it is quite obviously due to the implanon which seems to be a common complaint. I also have ZERO sex drive, bad mood swings, and periods of extreme lethargy. I am often too tired to do anything. I have an appointment for removal next week."


"Minor bleeding for a few weeks after insitu. After that - none at all. Don't even know where I am in my cycle- no pain or bleeding. Only cost $30 for 5 years! Feel sorry for those who don't have one!"


"I have had Fibromylgia for over 20 years. I have other health problems. I went off of Prozac to take the new medicine. Prior to taking Savella I was not sleeping taking two different sleep medicines and still didn't sleep. Plenty of pain medicines and have tried so many medicines. Since I started just over a week ago I feel so much better. I'm sleeping and even have been able to start to walk a little. Prior to this I couldn't even get out of bed for days at a time. This is the best I have felt in over 20 years. The only side effect is a little bit of a hungover feeling the next day but that is starting to ease. I'm so thankful for this medicine and I hope that I continue to feel better. I pray for everyone that suffers from this illness."


"Very satisfied with this drug. PSA dropped from 40 to 15 in 3 months. No side effects noticed."


"Started Harvoni 6 days ago so far no side effects or maybe a little concentration problem at time. (Brain fog) not sure if thats part of it or just because I'm an old fart LOL.

3 weeks and only side effects is headache and feeling flushed at times.  I go in next week for the 4th tests I'm praying there is improvement."


"I started Safyral in April for irregular menstrual cycle and severe pms my only complaint was that for about a week or two I was spotting off and on but my periods are very light I'm use to very heavy flow no backaches cramps I still will get an occasional pimple literally 1 or 2 a few days before my cycle but no acne mood swings or depression my only regret is not starting this sooner"


"I had Hep-C geno type 3a, took Daklinza 60mg per day and Sovaldi 400mg per day together and after 27 days of 27 tablets each, I had blood work and was cleared of Hep-C, I'm finishing it all just in-case of the 12 week program of 3 scripts of 28 pills each. I had a few headaches and itchy skin and at first felt weak when I took them in the morning so I changed it to the evening and everything was fine. I was approved to take Benadryl, 2 in the morning and 2 at night and it helped the itching, could not take any pain medicine for the headaches. My health insurance covered all but my one time deductible of $6000 and after that I paid nothing. My nurse found a company to pay my deductible."


"Ortho Tri Cyclen (in my opinion) seems to be the most effective birth control pill with the least amount of unwanted side effects. I have tried several generic forms as well as the Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and experienced mild unwanted side effects such as cramping and spotting."


"Hi Ladies I wanted to share my experience with this orsythia pill. Well I have now been takin it for about 5 months and I Love it. I was on the nexplanon for 6 months before I changed it to the pill. And it was the worst so many symptoms like headaches and nausea and always so hungry. When i had my son I was weighting at 200 pounds before I had him and lost 30 when I gave birth so I was down to 170. I tried my hardest to loose weight with the nexplanon after inserting it after giving birth. I dieted well eating 1,200 or less calories a day doing 3 hours of workout and nothing. Right when I switched to the pill I started losing weight rapidly I was at 170 and now I'm at 142 in less than 4 months and I havnt been as hungry❤"


"I'm 50yrs old and have lived with psoriasis for half that time.  I don't like to even take ibuprofen so obviously I've been reluctant to go on such a significant biologic.  That said, Humira has been an absolute miracle.  I'm now after 90 days 100% cleared.  This is not BS.  THIS IS THE TRUTH.  I couldn't be happier."


"I got liletta placed in May 2016. I had it placed 7 weeks after I had my second child via csection. The insertion was uncomfortable but bearable for me. The first period I had was extremely long. It was about a month. After that I have had random spotting but not period. I haven't had any bad side effects and also no weight gain! I like liletta and if you can tough if out that first month of a wacky long period and little spotting I would definitely try it. It was also covered by my insurance 100% so that was also a plus for me."


"I have taken this for over a 18 months. It works great. I have Atrial Fibrillation and Tachycardia. I had previously taken Rythmol for six months - it added 20 pounds to me and I was eating less and less. The diltiazem is working great, started on 120mg but just recently went to 180mg. Having a few more episodes but am also dealing with breast health issues - it could very well be from anxiety from this rather than actual heart issues. Very hard to discern. Would recommend this over Rythmol - hands down, and in the last 6 months have lost 10 of the 20 Rythmol put on me."


"I had been using Cialis which worked for a boost for about four years, and in the fifth year even after taking a dose, I didn%u2019t have interest in sex.  My Doctor ran blood test and determined my T level was low. For the past 4 month I have used the 2.5 gram Androgel packs daily.  I generally feel better.  I have lost my belly flab.  My love interest is better although I still rely on the Cialis, but now I have total control of my orgasm.  I have lost testicle size, in fact, at times they will ascend into the inguinal canal until I push them back out.  In short this 64 year old would say that Androgel is a nice improvement."


"I have been taking zovirax for over 12 years, 400 mg each night at bedtime.  I have only had a few outbreaks, caused by kissing my husband who had outbreaks.  On doctor's orders, I am to increase to 800 mg each night at bedtime when I do have an outbreak, or when I'm not feeling well.  Other virus' can set off a cold sore attack."


"Been taking Daliresp for about a year. It has definitively helped my breathing. I am diagnosed with severe COPD. This medicine and twice daily nebulizing with Brovana and Budesonide and Ipratropium for rescue has really helped me."


"I have hemiplegic migraines and end up at the hospital about once a month.  Each time, with the exception of twice (given morphine - allergic reactions occurred), I was given a toradol cocktail through IV in the ER.  After a few minutes, the pain began to subside and I went to sleep.  I would recommend this if one is able to take it."


"From the insertion I was uncomfortable and the cramp was so painful. The Dr said to expect a pinch and a cramp. Haha I was in pain and having contraction like cramps for weeks.  Today was one month and I had severe cramps for hours. I finally reached in and pulled it out. Who knew something so small could have me doubled over in pain from just walking or sitting the wrong way. I was taking minimum 6 pain pills a day. God bless anyone else going through these cramps. It wasn't worth it.
I did not have insurance so I am greatful that planned hoods sponsors paid for it."


"After trying prozac (didn't like) and wellbutrin (better than prozac but still not terrific), was given Celexa by a new doc. I have dysthmia that increases in winter months (probably due to less light where I live, during the shorter days from Oct-March). Celexa gave me an almost instant 'happy' boost and I haven't been off it for more than 6 mos. for a long time. Pros: more energy, no crying spells when daylight lessens during winter months. Cons: did not work for my GAD (I take alprazolam for that), libido is almost non-existent, and my emotions are somewhat blunted (meaning, I don't really cry often, when before I used to be emotional over a lot of things...but I can take that!) Impact on libido is the most annoying side effect."


"I can urinate strongly if I take it regularly, everyday without fail. But once I stopped for 2 days, it will be painful around my bladder area.

I have been on this medicine for more than 2 years, and my Doctor says I have to be on this drug for at least 5 years! "


"I have basil carcinoma of my face cheeks and face had lumps. I have Scottish skin. Started Efidux treatment and after day 3 I became violently ill. For 10 days I couldn't hold any food down what ever. Both exit body points were hammered with oozing duck poo like stuff I have never experienced before. Bloated stomach, gas build up and always on the toilet. After day 10 the systems eased and I started to hold some food down. Currently on day 16 of treatment an day face looks like an iron has been applied to both FACE CHEEKS. Very painful and still feel unwell. This better work because I have researched this product before commencing and there were no side affects listed like I have had. Met another patient of efidex with similar side effects."


"The medicine is partly covered by my issurance company. Current maintenance dosage 3 mg (was 6mg) Invega. After taking Invega my positive symptoms vanished completely after a number of weeks, furthermore I don't get an unreal sense (depersonalization) which was the case with Risperdal. Unfortenately I got the following side-effects (discussed with my physician):

- weight gain (8 kilo's)

- sometimes strange expression around mouth, stiffness

- tiredness/weakness, need more sleep

- intense dreaming, sometimes nightmares

- harder to breath through nose

- increase of ALAT blood values (80)

- dizziness after sudden activity

- heartburn

For now the positive effects outweight the negative effects."


"I had a sympathectomy on my right side in 2001 and ever since I have had excessive sweating on my left side. It got so bad I was literally folding paper towels and tucking them under my arm to soak it up. My shirts were always wet on the left side. After just a couple of nights using Drysol I don't have wet shirts & no need for paper towels. It does burn & itch little when I first apply it & I get a kind of bruised feeling in my under arm but nothing major or that I couldn't deal with. Huge improvement!"


"Just finished 14 day treatment with generic Omeprazole 20mg delayed release (CVS).
1) Tiny capsules, very easy to swallow.
2) No side-effects.
3) After second day, reflux and heartburn diminished completely.
4) Treatment just ended, so no long-term experience yet."


"I am on my fourth month with this pill and it works great. The only side effect I have seen is very mild blemishes, which does bother me because before starting use of the medication I rarely ever got pimples. My periods are once a month but only last about two days and are fairly light. I am so far pleased."


"Just diagnosed with metastasized prostate cancer. Have been on Casodex for 11 days today (will be on it for 30 days). The only side effect (at least so far) was fatigue for the first 5 days, nothing now. My urinary symptoms (delayed start, dribbling, weak stream, urgency & frequency) have all improved dramatically over these 11 days. Received my first shot of Lupron today (7.5mg) and am hoping for the best. That will be my next medicine review in about two weeks."


"I started lo lo feb 2015.. I literally had my period for about a month with the worst cramps I have ever experienced. Like some one was squeezing and twisting my ovaries.. My doc said to wait it out a few months to let my body get used to it. For about 5 months my period was heavier than it had been without a pill. Then.. My period just stopped! It was so nice not having a period at all so I decided to stay on it. And with that I gained 15 pounds( did not change diet or stop exercising) I work out 5-6 times a week and eat a very clean diet. I've never been a super emotional person and lately I've been bursting into tears! I could be watching something as simple as a audition on 'the voice' and get teary eyed. proceed w caution.new bc 4 me !"


"Had unprotected sex on the 13th day of my period so most likely during my most fertile days. Managed to get access to Plan B 60h after the mishap and I am pleased to say that my period arrived on time and we are in the clear. I am so happy that I had this second chance."


"I feel nice and have no worries. My days are better with Klonopin."


"I was put on Humira when I was 25 and I am now currently 31.  The first thing I noticed was that it cleared up my plaque psoriasis very quickly.  My nails and scalp looked normal within 3-4 weeks.  I have PsA in my spine, ankles, knees and hands.  I was having trouble walking and experienced chronic fatigue which caused me to gain 20 lbs very quickly.  I would fall asleep from exhaustion after getting myself showered and dressed.  After the Humira took effect I had my energy back.  I could exercise again and I was back to doing the things I enjoyed.  I still experience flare ups (mostly due to stress) and I still have difficulty sitting for long periods of time, but this drug was life changing.  Vicodin helps me with the flare ups."


"Love it. Worked the first time"


"I've been taking lutera for about five months now. I've noticed that my mood swings have gotten terrible. I am prone to headaches, and I've gained quite a bit of weight that is nearly impossible to lose. "


"I took this medication for about 8 months and developed a pulmonary embolism. I'm 26, non smoker, 115lbs, very healthy. Birth control causes blood clots in many women. Please be aware of this. Especially if you have pain in your legs or start to feel a tightness in your chest. Never would I anticipate this happening to me."


"Yes, this medicine does work very well for paying attention. It also can be used when you need it and can stop and start use (you can just take it on schooldays even just important school days if you want). It's good that you don't have to ruin your weekend with the bad side effects. If you just take one like I have for five years you'll focus but by noon you'll be a zombie that hates the sound of people trying to make pointless conversation. "


"I am 16 and have had about a 4 year history with ovarian cysts. I had Skyla placed last month during a light period. 30 minutes before the procedure, I took 800 mg ibuprofen and 2 Midol. I did experience pain during the procedure but only for a moment during the placement prep to place the IUD. Immediately, I felt sore. An hour later, I started feeling irritable but it passed after 30 mins. 2 days after insertion, I started experiencing severe cramps and it continued for the rest of the month every 2-3 days. For the past week and a half, I've been having extremely painful cramps. Last week I went back to my gyno for cramps and I got an internal ultrasound. It showed a large cyst on my ovary but the doc basically said it was normal. He prescribed me 550 mg naproxen for the cramping. But overall, Skyla has been effective."


"Makes me feel ill."


"Works well to treat migraines but you really need to rest after taking.  I get an unpleasant burning sensation in nose, sinuses and throat, but still worth taking.  Also, the bottle is a pain in the butt to assemble - especially when you have a migraine.  I have frequent severe migraines (about 4 times a week) and this medicine is helpful although my dr. said it should not be used more than twice a week.  I am allergic to all the triptans, so this medicine has been a good alternative treatment."


"Mobic has been great for my arthritis. I've had Mobic prescribed by several different doctors over the past 10 years and 1) haven't had a problem with it, and 2) it's one of the only medications that helps with my arthritis, which I have in just about every joint but my elbows. Ibuprofen works too but I started retaining fluid and swelling up after taking it off and on for several years. Hope nothing similar happens w Mobic as it's a godsend."


"I have a bad lumbar disc L5-S1 in my low back which needs to be removed. I'm taking Lycria because it helps keep the pain from going down my leg. Lyrica works great. If it wasn't for Lyrica I wouldn't be walking."


"Post operational sciatica after pelvic. Floor repair

I have been taking two 500mg tablet twice daily.

It has been marvellous can barely feel any pain.

I take warfarin so really careful to take 20mgs of omprazole

in the morning. No side effects after two days. First time that I have taken

Naproxen .I hope if ever I need this type of relief that my GP will

Prescribe again. Cannot praise enough."


"Been taking venlafaxine XR for 15 years and all in all found it did what it was intended for, which was to suppress my depression and assist me in coping with life. My dosage amount fluctuated through the years, from 75mg up to 225mg(I think) and I had very little trouble with it, except when I forgot to refill it. I will say that the side effects of stopping Effexor are horrific and a contributor to why I stayed on it for so long. I'm off it now and I don't know if I'll ever get back on it again because I CANNOT go through the withdrawal feeling again, at least not with my sanity intact."


"Helps me a lot."


"I think this drug (15mg) significantly helped me with my insomnia initially. But I don't think it did anything for me beyond the first couple of weeks, as my insomnia began to rebound. I think this is a good SHORT-term drug; I would resist the temptation to take it for longer periods for the treatment of insomnia, since most of its sedation effects wear off within weeks (as with all sedatives)."


"I have always had horrible acne.  Even after a round of accutane it came back a few years later.  After I had my son It got worse so I looked into yaz.  My gyno was on it as well so she did make me feel more comfortable with taking it as I was very cautious due to the reviews online.  I have cystic acne,  I don't remember a time where I had less than 3 pimples on my face.  I've been on Loryna for 6 months and my skin is clear!! Only break out (literally 1 pimple) when my period is coming or if I forget to wash my face.  But 1 pimple is sooooo much better than the endless amounts I would get before yaz."


"After 6 weeks of taking Dulera, I find the relief effect wears down towards the 10th and eleventh hour.  My dosage is 2 puffs morning, 1 puff evening.  I'm 78 years old, and an asthmatic for 76 of those years.

Compared to Symbicort, Dulera "wears off" (as above) slightly faster.   Each is a good maintenance medication."


"I started with the mixed solution, (Moviprep Orange) 1 litre, at seven in the evening.

I allowed one and a half hours to drink the

product. It was roughly an hour after finishing the drink that I passed my first motion. The overall process between starting the drink and the complete emptying of my bowel amounted to around three and a half hours. My second dose was started at 6am the next morning. I drank the litre within an hour. The first movement this time was much quicker. within half an hour. My bowel was completely empty at around 8-40. So this process was 2 hours and forty minutes. I found the drink quite palatable. Certainly not difficult to drink. This is the second occasion I have used it and on both occasions my bowel has been cleaned well and perfectly prepared for the examination. I had no side effects whatsoever."


"I have a love and hate relationship with the zovia 1/35 birth control pill. Back when I was younger in my teen years even early 20s it worked amazing. No weight gain at all. I stopped taking it for a few years when I started my family and now 10 years later decided to get back on it. Let me just say, weight gain! I don't blame the pill 100% but I feel like you have got to be prepared for how hungry this pill makes you! So you will be hungrier than usual and eat more and hence gain weight on it. Its getting out of control, I have decided to stop this month."


"I've had this for almost 2 years. I rated it high because I am not pregnant. But I do feel that the bad side effects outweigh the good.

I didn't have a period for like 3 months and then I got one and it wasn't terrible. Then I consistently got them every 3 months.

However, the past 2 months I've gotten a heavy period every 2 weeks and they are painful.

Not to mention, I have definitely gained weight. If I had to guess I'd say 20 lbs. and I've stayed the same weight for awhile now. I'm 22. 5'10 and a college athlete. So I eat decently well and workout multiple times a day and I cannot lose a pound. My depression has also been bad. I made an appointment with my doctor to discuss other birth control options"


"This absolutely works.  I quit twice but I needed more than 2 months (doctor did not think so).  When I got a new RX last year, the cost was out of sight...185.00/month.  I had hoped the cost would come down because I know it works.  For now, I am in limbo......"


"I am a female  with hypothyroidism, post menopause and over 50.  I was at the heaviest in my life gaining over 60 lbs after being diagnosed with my thyroid disorder. I finally found a Dr. who would put me on Phentermine. I have been on it for a week short of 90 days and I've lost 32 lbs. There's nothing that in my 7 yrs fighting this hypothyroidism that allowed me to lose even 10 lbs. Not even cutting my daily caloric intake to less than 1200 calories a day. Which my Dr. wasn't at all happy about since she says 1400-1600 is the very least someone should eat.  I am so very happy with the results. I wish of course I could have lost the entire 60lbs I gained when I got the slow thyroid issue. But I am nevertheless very pleased."


"I switched to Lo Loestrin about a year ago. I didn't start to realize until after I was off of birth control for 2 months  and started again what this BC did to me. I gained weight in only specific area like lower stomach and chest, blew up immediately after my first pack. Mind you my diet or exercise did not change but my body did. I also was bloated for 2-3 weeks at a time before and after my inactive pills. Over all Lo Loestrin did it's job for me but I am on a search for a BC thats more healthy for my body."


"I lost 80 pounds in 6 months. I lost a little hair but it stopped when I stopped taking it. I also had shakiness in my hands and sweets tasted crazy sour, but apart from that I was good."


"I finally started this medication in Sept. Of 2016. The only side effect I had was loss of taste and once I finished my 90 day supply, my taste came back. My toenails were awful. "


"I have been on the Nuvaring for a little over a year and really liked it at first. Couldn't notice it once in place and I never had an issue with it slipping out unexpectedly. I used it PERFECTLY and never got pregnant. This month has been different (i.e., midmonth cramps, breast tenderness, lower back pain). I have taken three pregnancy tests, and all have been negative. The one thing that was different was that we used an oil-based lubricant for the first time this month, and in the med info, it says oil-based vaginal medication can increase hormone levels by up to 40%. Can't find any info about the effects of using oil-based lubricant with Nuvaring, so be careful about that! "


"I have UC and this is the worst prep that I have ever used. I have had colonoscopies for 25 years due to UC and this prep did not work. Even though I followed the directions and used an additional bottle of magnesium citrate, this preparation still did not work."


"I was prescribed this a few week's ago but had to stop taking it. I currently take Seroquel (Quetiapine) 100 mg, and was not sure why the Psychiatrist would prescribe the Celexa (Citalopram) as I had been informed by a pharmacist that combining Seroquel and Celexa is dangerous and could possibly cause heart problems. There is a MAJOR drug interaction between those two meds, as that would explain why my chest was hurting and my depression actually got way worse, I also didn't have an appetite at ALL while on the Celexa so I had to just stop taking it. Horrible drug."


"I started having daily headaches that turned into a severe migraine as the day progressed.  Eventually I would end up lying in bed, in the dark, with no noise, unable to sleep, vomiting from the pain.  I was terrified it was my new normal.
This was the 1st medication my D.O. prescribed. 25mg for a month. 1st week no headaches.  Then they slowly returned but would start a little later in the day.
I take 50mg twice a day with 40mg twice a day of propanolol for prevention and it works unless I do a lot of crying.  Then I take Fioricet."


"I have been using antabuse for a month.  I have had some side effects as in some nausea and headaches.  I still feel that the benefit of the prescription far outweighs any side effects, nowing this has really given my family a sense of security."


"Was diagnosed with COPD Emphysema several years ago.Have been using Spiriva since but still cannot say that I notice any benefit. My GP's, chest nurses, and consultants (9 different ones over the years) maintain that I am benefitting from using it. Do suffer from leg cramps, so will be trying Potassium supplements to see if they help."


"After having been diagnosed with a rare type of multiple sclerosis called "Malignant Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis" (also known as Marbug Variant MS) there was not much for the doctors to do for me but to put me on a cocktail of pain medications that would 'hopefully' help to keep me comfortable while in the throws of relentless chronic pain. Eventually I was given Dilaudid 8mg oral tablet to help with the pain. It eventually stopped working as good so the dosage was increased to 16mg per 4 hours. And that is what I am currently taking.
Because my rare form of MS has no treatments, no medications..it's just a progressive downward spiral. I'm now fully bedridden and a spectator of life. But I'm so grateful for dilaudid! Recommend"


"This medication worked for me for about 3 weeks. I started on 1.5mg then my doctor increased it to 3mg. After the increased I had an upset stomach, my chest felt very heavy, and it was difficult for my to swallow and speak without gasping for air. My doctor wants me to go back down to 1.5mg I told my doctor I am taking myself off. Anything that bothers my breathing I can't tolerate."


"I started at 25 mg of Lamictal. After 2 weeks my doctor increased it to 50 mg. 2 weeks after increasing my med I noticed a minor skin rash on my chest one night. I overlooked it & continued taking the Lamictal. When my doctor increased it to 100 mg that is when I started having a bad reaction. That night I broke out in a bad rash on my chest, stomach & left arm (not my right arm). I also started having bad chest pains. I called my doctors office the next day & the nurse told me to stop taking the Lamictal & go to the hospital. I'm stubborn, so I refused to go. My chest pains had gone away & the rash was clearing up, so I wasn't as worried about it as I was the night before. I decided to go to the EmergiCare instead & I turned out to be OK"


"I have been on 10 MG Norco for four years due to back and arm pain.  It helps a lot especially in the morning when I get up.  I am developing arthritis and my Neurologist thinks I might have fibromyalgia.  I also have two heel spurs and tarsal tunnel syndrome in my left foot.  And I also take Neurontin  for my feet.  I can't hardly take a Norco after 5 pm or so as they keep me up.  I take Klonopin at bedtime or excess stress during the day.  Nobody that doesn't know me well even knows any of this because I can walk pretty normally."


"I took this drug exactly as directed. Twice a day with a meal... yada yada... you already know how it goes. I didn't have any symptoms other than metallic taste in mouth.... however this did not clear up my BV at all. My odor and discharge wasn't bad to begin with, I've just been very itchy and very sore after sex down there. (I've been tested for everything, only one parter, he's clean and been tested too. NO STDS. Only BV) still very itchy. Nothing is working, and I'm beginning to become desperate for a cure :("


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"As far as bowel prep goes, I'd say this was a fairly pleasant experience. The medicine itself tastes like water and slightly salty grape koolaid. Not the most pleasant, but it was absolutely doable. Results began about 15 min after my first dose. Slight nausea immediately following the completion of each dose but it dissipated very quickly. Aside from that and a bit of a bloated feeling in my abdomen, I have no complaints! Mind over matter people, you can do it!!"


"I have been taking Provigil for a month. I noticed a decrease in my sleepiness right away. I was falling asleep at work and while driving so many times a day I couldn't count how often.  My insurance wouldn't approve it and it was way to expensive for me to pay cash so it took me a couple months before I was able to get it filled.  I called every pharmacy I could think of to compare prices and costco was way cheaper than everyone else.  Their price for 30 of the 200 MG was only 39.00 compared to 700.00 at some other places.  I definitely recommend getting it filled there if you have to pay cash."


"Demerol provides very clean pain relief. It simply turns off the pain like a switch. I felt no euphoria, numbness, thickening or noticeable impairment. It is highly restricted and after the critical period the medication was switched to something less addictive yet far less effective and carrying unwanted baggage. "


"I was switched over to Minastrin 24 Fe from Loestrin 24 with no control over it. At first, I thought I was doing alright but no I am not. Because at the age of 42 my whole face is covered in blemishes and acne. I have not had this problem since I was 25. I have not changed anything that I am taking or any products that I am using or what I am eating. This is the only change in my routine. I am going to try to switch to something else."


"I have been on this for over 8 years. It was my first and only birth control brand. Made my breasts swell and hurt for a couple months and then that completely went away. I had no other side effects. By this point my periods are so light I will do 4-6 patches before removing it (yes, you can do this with the patch!). I highly recommend this. I put the patch on a butt cheek and alternate sides each week."


"I was prescribed this for my UTI after Bactrim didn't work. It diminished my symptoms but gave me terrible stomach aches and horrible nausea. It was a little bit better if I ate yogurt right before taking it, but I would still feel terribly sick. If I had the option of any other medicine, I would take it."


"Worked quickly -taste disgusting.  There must be a better way to prep for a colonoscopy.  OsmoPrep pills were great but can't get them any longer."


"It is good for moderate breakthrough pain when used with a fentanyl patch."


"I'm 30 years old. I've been dealing with low Testosterone for over 3 years. I've found a doctor that has finally put me on this medication I been on it for four hours and cannot believe how I feel already. I have erectile dysfunction issues for the last year and it is working like it is brand-new again and it's only been four hours. So far amazing start."


"PROS: For me, this pill caused no weight gain. It really did help with cramps, too.
CONS: This pill caused me to break out horribly (my acne was solely concentrated to my forehead before, and even then, it was very mild). I had better skin when I was 15 (I'm 20 now). I'm having a variety of weird symptoms I have literally never had before going on this pill, such as constant dizziness/lightheadedness, fatigue, acid reflux, and rapid heartbeat (which I absolutely believe was caused by this birth control. Why else would a healthy 20 year old have these problems literally within the exact time frame of taking this pill?). Overall, not for me. I will keep searching for my ideal pill."


"Severe neck and back pain."


"I don't know if anyone has this problem, but I don't have the classic symptoms of heartburn, but my doctor thought my vocal cord problems could be cause by acid reflux.  So I took this for about 4 days.  On the fifth day I started having a terrible burning sensation that would not go away and lasted all day.  It happened again the next day also.  I decided to stop taking it and it has gone away.  Anyway I'm not going to take it anymore and check with my doctor for something else. I went from having no symptoms to terrible burning sensations so I'm stopping for now."


"This medication has helped me with my battle with infertility. With it, I have had two successful pregnancies, though with minimal side effects. So much happy to become a parent after six years of infertility. It had also helped me with a benign tumor in my brain, and I think I'm a normal woman now. I was initially placed on half the tablet a day but later increased to 1 and 1/2 a day, with series of blood tests and MRI scans. It really helped and I'm still using it with routine checkups."


"I do not tolerate birth control pills as a general rule and I found Yaz extremely tolerable. I didn't have any side effects on it to start with it helped my heavy menstrual bleeding and as an added bonus my skin was much clearer. I was only on it a short time, however, because it did cause an increase in the severity and frequency of my migraines. I had the worst complex migraine I have ever had while on this medication. I would recommend it for the most part, but maybe not for migraine sufferers."


"I think this drug is probably the best thing for people with severe allergies. I tried EVERYTHING before XYZAL and I finally stumbled upon this through my doctor and I am so happy I did. Now I can actually wake up and go through the day without sneezing, coughing, or getting a head cold."


"I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia approximately 5 years ago. I was taking Cymbalta to help with the pain until my prescription insurance no longer covered it. My doctor gave me a months supply (samples) of Pristiq. I've been taking it for 3 weeks now and I've felt like myself for the first time in 5 years! My house has seen more cleaning in the past 2 weeks than it has over the past five years! I was a neat freak before Fibro and I'm all of a sudden a neat freak again! I love it! I do still have pain, but I'm able to control it with Darvocet. Pristiq gives me energy and ambition! I no longer have to take my daily nap(s)! I feel like I have a second lease on life! I could go on and on all day, but I need to get back to my cleaning! "


"Hi , I started taking pregabalin for nerve pain in my face. I started on 50mg twice a day and now take 150mg twice a day. I have suffered with anxiety and depression for years and tried a few anti depressants, which made me feel worse. When I started the pregabalin for the nerve pain, I noticed that my depression and anxiety were gone completely! As well as the pain. It was like a miracle. I used to wake every morning with a churning stomach due to anxiety. But that has gone completely. I can only say , try it!"


"My doctor had to cut into my jawbones to extract my wisdom teeth that hadn't come in yet to ease the pain in my mouth. He put me on the oxycodone 10/650mg. They work wonders. While I was taking them I didn't even care if my mouth hurt. Then I got real bad migraines and the doctor thought they was caused by the pain pills. He switched me to something else and now I am still in pain. All in all I say oxycodone was excellent."


"3d day on flagyl and cipro after 6 days of diarrhea , found out I have colitus . Bowel infection due to a parasiite. Diarrhea finally stopped but the stomach sounds I have are hugely intense!!! And the horrible taste in my mouth is aweful. But hey! It's doing its job! Better than having the big D for 6 days in a row!"


"I started taking this drug after trying many stimulants that didn't work.  For some reason ADHD stimulants just raise my blood pressure and make me feel crummy.  When I first started on Guanfacine 1mg for ADHD it was a life changing drug.  Like after taking it for a week you start asking yourself I wonder what my life would have been like had I found this drug sooner.  This drug helped me read, focus, and also helped with motivation, anxiety, and impulsiveness.  However after about 2 months all of the positive effects of this drug were gone.  I switched to Intuniv the extended release version because I read that it worked better.  It did not help and all I got was the side effects.  I gave this drug an 8 because it was great while it worked"


"Although it took 6 weeks to show improvement, after that it worked great. The doctor told me it would take that long. I had no side effects. I had a red area on my nose and under my eye for months and doctor said it was rosacea. It cleared it completely. I also have red and dry skin on my cheeks and jaw that the medicine did NOT help."


"I must say this birth control was a horrible experience.  I had taken Chateal for about 11 months.  I experienced horrible mood swings and depression while taking this.  I didn't pin point that it was the pill until I finally switched birth controls and my moods swings have been far less than they have been the last 11 months.  I know everyone reacts differently to birth control and this one was NOT for me.  Please be in tune with your body and how it reacts."


"Been coughing for 3 weeks and this helped a lot. I am taking all sorts of over the counter pills, gels, capsules, hot water, cold water mixes with multiple active ingredients and Cheratussin AC syrup gave me better relief than anything else. I still couldn't sleep through the night and ended up taking middle of the night doses with the other things as it took over 4 weeks to get over my flu. When I was younger I got a codeine cough syrup and it didn't help but this time this did."


"Third colonoscopy for screening purposes, first time using Suprep.  The split dosing worked great -- drank first dose from 4:30 - 4:45 PM, one hour later the poop parade began, and went perhaps 5 times over the next two hours, color was brownish-yellow by the end of round one.  Drank second dose from 3:15 - 3:30 PM, liquid poop parade began 1/2 hour later, and was coming out clear yellow by 5:30 AM.  Dr. said the preparation was very good.  Suprep flavor is not bad -- I mixed it with ice water, drank it in three big gulps, chased with orange gatorade.  It's a little gross, but take your time and sip other palatable juices in between and you'll be fine."


"I had a hard time assigning a numerical rating. On one hand, Victoza seemed like magic in that it lowered my sugars so reliably, and instantly. It almost seemed like validation that I wasn't doing anything "wrong"--my body needed help w/sugar metabolism. That earns a 10. On the other hand, I have to take into account quality of life. NEVER have I been so sick, for so many days consistently/consecutively. I am not a person who gets sick easily. I do not miss work due to illness. I function thru colds,upset stomach,headaches,muscle pain--you name it. Victoza knocked me on my butt. I was sick every day for 3 weeks. All same sx's as everybody else. There are NOT mild. I stopped it b4 I even got to 1.8 dose. Not reasonable. My body said hell no."


"Before I had another birth control and my hormones was through the roof and made me depressed really bad.. I switched to this brand because lower dose of hormones. So far this brand is working for me! (NO Baby yet) I been using this for about half a year if not a year already. I had missed periods, very late periods, mild mood swings (nothing major) though. Acne pretty bad which I don't like about it. My appetite decreased major.. I lost so much weight because of it. (Even if I eat regularly) I'm 21 yrs old and was 123lbs now I'm 116.5lbs exact. My sex drive increased a little bit that I noticed but pretty much the same I think. Other than that this brand works for me."


"I cannot believe how effective this medicine is. Usually I would be shaky, bright red and my voice would sound like I'm about to cry or something. After taking 40mg before my presentation I was as cool as a cucumber! Kept thinking during the presentation, I can't believe I am able to do this and not feel embarrassed. Won't fear presentations anymore."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"Reading these reviews and at least good to know im not the only one who has struggled with H. Pylori. Saw multiple doctors...all brushed it off. Was finally scheduled for an upper endoscopy. Prior to the appt felt the worst ever. Symptoms over months had progressed from stomach pain and acid reflux (managed with 40mg prilosec twice a day) to fatigue, burping, chest pains, liver and spleen pain, feeling confused and delirious, diarrhea. Finally a walkin clinic dr ordered a stool sample test. Im on day 3 of PrevPac and feeling better. Metallic taste in the AM bug goes away. Loading up on probiotics...highly reccommended. Definately need to take with food. Ill have to retest in about a month but hoping this works! Best of luck to everyone!!!"


"Very strong but gentle. Box says wait 30 min to 6 hours. Found from personal experience that you don't take this unless you plan on staying home. It always took 2 hours to work for me so once I took it and then ran some errands, expecting to be home in 45 minutes-plenty of time of course (since it was the only time I ever took it and left home) it started working in 30 minutes as the box said. Once you feel a "gurgling" feeling in your intestines you better get to a bathroom. Fortunately I was close to home but barely made it home since my insides had turned to water. Once it starts working I have a few watery movements over 2 hours then all is well. No cramping, tastes better if diluted with lots of cold water. Drink it as fast as you can."


"I have developed irritation of the throat and ears, headache, feel dizzy during my morning walk, chest pain and difficulty with my breathing."


"All praises to program. I have not had any problems with rejections. Liver transplant Date 2011.  I’ve had some itching and my sleeping is awful.  But my main problem follows. I have developed NODM (New Onset Diabetes Management) and I simply cannot lose weight, instead , I am gaining and CANNOT LOSE.  I EXERCISE AT LEAST 1 1/2 HRS DAILY, MY DIET IS EXCELLENT AND I'M A MODEL PATIENT. Yet my post transplant diabetes is out of control.  I am hovering around 7.0 and I am literally killing myself exercising, eating right, taking meds correctly, etc.  Been seen by 4 Endocrinologists....more oral meds and more insulin.  Just this week, I’m been told to take Glipizide maximum daily dose, Novolog insulin, 9 units X3, Novolin 28Us/10Us & Junevia"


"The only sleeping pill i have tried that does not make me feel like I've been hit by a bus in the morning. A really refreshing sleep. Also taking cipramil and epilim and no adverse reactions."


"Update!- As below I stated that doxycycline and Epiduo did an outstanding job. It continued to do so for 1 and a half months but they say all good things come to an end. Because I was getting used to the tetracycline antibiotic,  I started getting little pimples-definitely not as bad as before so my dermatologist switched me over to Oratane for the cure. I really am so happy doxycycline kick started my clear skin. Don't forget to moisturize and sunscreen!"


"I'm just finishing my second month of pills.  I had a crazy increase in appetite the first month, but it's evened out now.  But now I've been experiencing breakthrough bleeding for about nine days.  I really hope it stops."


"I feel so much better since I started taking Celexa 2 weeks ago, I am 41 and was feeling very negative and tired all the time and sad. I didn't want to interact with people. Now I feel like I did 15 years ago, it's great, more energy, I sleep less and I am doing more things socially, already.  A few side effects were headache and eye pain but they have almost completely gone away and I am so glad I stuck with it."


"I've been taking prozac for three months now and I'm the best I've ever been. I can see the beauty in the world that I saw when I was little. I don't think bad thoughts anymore. Sometimes I miss a few days on my medication and I'll see something like a road or a song or an old diary entry from my journal and it will be a subtle reminder of how I felt but I am strong enough to fight those thoughts and push them away. I smile more and I talk to people. I'm not scared to talk to people in public anymore. My anxiety is almost gone. I dont feel depressed anymore and I love myself. I don't hate myself anymore. I've gotten distracted by how beautiful and amazing I can be that I don't think about flaws or imperfections. I feel great. Prozac is a miracle"


"I am 25 weeks pregnant and was told by my midwife to start using this product for my yeast infection. As soon as I applied it, my vee-jay got on fire! The itching and burning is horrible!!! Hopefully this will go away soon! I am laying here and  my vee-jay  is itching like crazy! Awful product!!!"


"This medication is possibly good for thousands of patients but gave me agitation and hot feet after  using only for only  3 days . These symptoms might happened to others as any medicine probably cause reaction to any individual."


"changed my life. i highly recommend this medication. it works!"


"I've been on enbrel with other meds then finally with metrotexato since I was about 19 years old. The other meds I took were strong (harsh). So before I start, the absolute first credit in recovery goes to God.

Now about the med, Enbrel, It really has helped me out in living a normal life (just add exercise)... Big difference from not being able to get up to being able to run again. Yet lately each time an injection has been made on my upper left arm, it feels odd. I feel as if the fluid is running into my veins going towards my rib cage. One time it felt as if it was going directly to my heart. Later it would feel warm in those areas, but giving it a few minutes later it would feel cool, oddly fresh. I would like to know if others have had similar symptoms."


"I'm 30 years old and have suffered from acne since my teenage years. It's just gotten worse as I've aged. My acne has caused light scarring on my face. I've been using Ziana gel for about a month. I noticed that it does make my skin oily, however within two weeks I could tell that the brown spots were disappearing, the scarring was becoming lighter, the acne I already had was healing much faster than before (almost overnight), my breakouts have become fewer and farther between. My skin peeled in the beginning but spacing it out every other day for the first couple of weeks seemed to help. I use it every day now and my skin doesn't peel anymore. My insurance doesn't cover it but I used Philidor pharmacy and received it for much cheaper."


"Had relief on day 2.  Congestion cleared up enough so that my ears finally popped.  Only side effect may have been nausea while running."


"3 months ago I was on Macrobid for a UTI.  On the 5th day of taking it (last day), I had a hard time breathing during the night and I thought that I was catching a cold or something.  It went away fairly quickly so I didn't associate it with this antibiotic until yesterday.  I have another UTI and was prescribed Macrobid again.  It worked great in taking away my UTI the first time, so I didn't think anything of it.  Took the first dose yesterday morning with food and was fine.  Took the 2nd dose before bed with food and that's when I realized I made a mistake.  I was up ALL night because I was having a HARD time breathing.  I felt like I couldn't catch my breath.  When I got up this morning and saw the side effects.  How scary!"


"Taking it for adult ADHD and it doesn't work.  Still focus in my classes, no appetite and very moody, coupled with insomnia.  "


"Works great for menstrual pain and doesn't hurt my stomach like other naproxen, as long as I take it on a full stomach. I take one and it works all day. Only draw back is the cost, so my doctor stocked me up on samples. Even with insurance it was outrageous."


"During my  mid 40's,  I began experiencing excruciating neck pain. I had cervical fusion for a ruptured cervical disk. After the  surgery, I have had extreme chronic fatigue,  bone pain, overall body pain, and paralysis of one vocal cord.  I tried numerous pain medications which had absolutely no effect on my pain. Ultimately, the combination of medications that helped were a low dosage of methadone, Prozac, and Provigil (for narcolepsy). Recently my doctor changed by Prozac to Cymbalta. My  pain is now almost

gone!   (I am still taking methadone, but maybe it will no longer be necessary. (I changed to Nuvigil for extreme daytime sleepiness.) No side effects from Cymbalta except for slight nausea during the first week of use."


"I have been on Sprintec for a month now. The first week was fine but starting the second week I got my period and it still has not gone away I have been on my period now for 20 days it is miserable. Alongside this I have been bloated, cramping, my skin has broken out, and my moods have been horrible. This pill was not the right choice for me it has poorly affected my quality of life. I recommend sharing a concern like this with your doctor as I never expected to have such a problem."


"Count me as another woman upset that Ocella is no longer a generic. According to BlueCross, who has received tons of calls on this change, Ocella is now a brand name drug and is also non-formulary. Even though the drug worked great for me and was helpful in my treatment of PCOS, there's no way I can spend $160 for a three month supply, especially for something that used to be completely covered by insurance."


"I have had a reaction to this medication both times we have tried it with fast heart rate, hypotension, and nausea and vomiting. My symptoms were a little better after starting with Benadryl and Phenergan. I was taking Berinert on  basis of about once a week depending on swelling. I didn't have a reaction at all with this medicine. My doctor has suggested that we go back to using the Berinert."


"I've been on Lo Loestrin Fe for a year now and I've been relatively happy. I'm 17 and not sexually active, but my doctor prescribed me the pill to help with my PCOS. Since I wasn't looking for it for birth control purposes, I was mainly focusing on acne, the duration and pain of my periods, and weight changes. I experienced absolutely no weight change and my periods almost and when I did get my period they were painful, but they were so infrequent so it wasn't a concern. I noticed also that my acne got worse. Fortunately I have not experienced any mood changes, appetite changes, migraines, etc. Overall I think as a first time birth control user, it's been an ok experience but if you're looking for acne solutions, maybe try something else."


"I just started taking Paxil 10mg (I'm on day 11) and I feel amazing and no side effects. Before Paxil, I wouldn't leave my house and if I had to I would stay within a 15 minute radius from my house. I had crippling panic attacks and nervousness all day long. I lost my job, my 10 yr relationship suffered, I gained weight and lost contact with myself and everything I used to enjoy.
Today I decided to up my dose to 20mg. It made me tired but extremely calm. I'm able to drive, run errands, keep up with housework and I am in control of my anxiety with some help of Ativan 1mg if needed.
Paxil saved my life and I suggest anyone with GAD,OCD,PTSD and DEPRESSION to seriously consider this drug. God is good and I feel blessed."


"I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder in 2001. I immediately started taking Paxil. At 40mg/day I felt GREAT! No more panic attacks and my concentration improved significantly! For those that find that Paxil does NOT work, please have your thyroid checked. Thyroid problems are closely interconnected with anxiety/depression disorders! I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Autoimmune Disease of the Thyroid as well as Hypothyroid (underactive thyroid) at the same time I was diagnosed with my Panic Disorder. My Paxil combined with Synthroid (a thyroid hormone) has put me back to normal. It's been 11 years now! Cheers!"


"Probably one of the BEST medications for insomnia..its a shame its rarely prescribed anymore."


"I have been on Amitiza for five years, and am truly grateful for it.  I was lucky to have a bowel movement every 5-7 days before Amitiza after trying other prescriptions, Miralax and high fiber diets, and this medicine was a God-send.  When I was recently hospitalized for two weeks, the hospital did not carry the medication and I had to wait five days to have someone bring it from home and have it approved by the hospital pharmacy to give to me, and I paid the price for being off it for that long.  I am astonished when doctors have not heard of this medication because it has been my savior from constant constipation."


"Works great and fast.  Very expensive."


"I got on the Depo-Provera shot at age 15 and just got off of it at age 20, and I am now on Seasonique (the pill). I didn't realize how awesome Depo was until I switched. Having no periods for 5 years was definitely great, I didn't gain any weight from the Depo even though it made me eat like I was pregnant with triplets for 5 years. There was minimal spotting which I would take over periods any day. I got moody when I started getting close to my next shot due date but that's about it. I would definitely recommend this birth control!"


"I've been on April for almost a year now. It works great protecting against pregnancy and keeping my periods regular, which they don't happen exactly on the sugar pill day, but every time on Wednesday. But the down side to these pills is how big of a mental and emotional toll it takes on me. It gives me crazy amounts of anxiety, I've had anxiety a couple times in my life but it's an everyday thing now. It makes me feel like I've changed as a person. And makes me very depressed and have deep dark thoughts on life. I've always been an outgoing go getter type of person, but all I wanna do now is sleep and ignore my anxiety. I don't know if I should change it or stay on it and see if it goes away. But it's been happening for almost a year now."


"I've been drinking since 12y/o.  Relapsed hard about 3 weeks ago after the manager at work had suspected that I had been drinking at work and fired me.  I spent all of the money I had left in the bank trying to drink myself to death.  Had a free ride to law school and lost that, so that played a big role in my depressive drinking.  Got to the hospital after I began going into withdrawals and they sedated me, and gave me a Librium prescription.  I'm a 210 pound male with 12% bf so I'm a strong otherwise healthy guy.  Four 25 mg first day then tapered down the second day decreasing each day by 1 pill.  I'm still on 1 pill at night.  You should exercise when off to control CNS excitement.  Vivid dreams too. Saved me too."


"I have just completed my first month of Amnesteem (I had moderate acne) and I am extremely happy with the results this far. However, I experienced stomach ache, nausea, constipation, chest pain, head aches, lower back pain, sore throat, dry skin, extremely chapped lips, and fatigue. They all hit me at the beginning of week three. The good news is they all subsided by the end of the week except the constipation."


"This drug has been a lifesaver to me. It's helped provide me with mood stability with an antidepressant effect, whereas lithium only controlled the mania part of my mood. I use this in combination with other drugs  and so far there hasn't been any side effects. I tried decreasing the dosage, and within 2 days I noticed a difference in my mood. I would definitely recommend this drug. This has made a difference in my mood, the way I think, and my overall perspective. This improved my motivation to get work done, since I wouldn't be just sitting around reminiscing in a negative thought loop. It gives me mental freedom and allows me to escape brain fog that has imprisoned my thoughts. Seriously, don't be afraid to try this drug"


"I started Victoza exactly 4 weeks ago. I have felt nauseous from time to time but generally feel worse if I eat more than I needed. I can easily feel very full eating 700-800 calories a day. I haven't had any other side effects except that I have way more energy than before which is wonderful for someone who has fibromyalgia and is always tired!!  The inches are melting away and I'm so happy to have lost 11.5lbs, it's amazing!  After unexplained weight gain of 77lbs over the course of a year this is just what I needed. 1 month in and 1/6 of the weight I need to lose has already gone - if you haven't already, give it a go."


"This medication is absolutely life changing.  After years of suffering anxiety  OCD with mostly intrusive racing thoughts that caused insomnia this medication was a miracle!! I had tried so many failed medications and therapies that I became hopeless. I was prescribed this medication after being hospitalized and have never been back that was over 2 years ago. It took 4 weeks to work please give it time. I feel like I have my life back!"


"Excellent results."


"Still had urge to cough didn't work at all"


"It works.. but my period was all over the place for 3 years. I would have 3 day periods, then spotting, then back on heavy for a day then back off for a week then started all over again. Some months I'll have my period for 5 days, others 2 weeks. By the time the bleeding & brown spotting stop it's time for another cycle. This birth control was pointless for the most part because I couldn't have sex. My appetite was through the roof. And after my 3 year mark I had my period for a full MONTH, with very few spotting days in between. I'm sure it's because my body it's getting back on track. But I've had a period more on this BC then I did with out it. I've gotten pregnant on the mirena, & I didn't like this one. I think done with BC for a while"


"I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 25 and have been taking generic Keppra for 2.5 years. I started the drug to control grand mal seizures. It has been largely effective at controlling the seizures (I've only experienced two since starting the meds). However, the side effects are less than ideal. I originally experienced intense feelings of anger and depression and would break down on a nightly basis. I tried taking the recommended B6 supplement and experienced little to no relief. My short term memory suffered horribly and I'm able to recall very little of the first year in which I started taking the medication. I now take Zoloft to combat some of the side effects but still experience feelings of anger, depression, fatigue, and memory loss."


"Prescribed after Lumpectomy for breast cancer and taking this medication for 1 year, I've experienced extreme panic attacks, anxiety that often prevents me from wanting to leave the house, and insomnia. My symptoms were so severe, I could not function at work and took early retirement. I have discussed these side effects with my oncologist; his concern was more with flushing side effects than anxiety.  I have 4 more years of taking this medication and honestly don't know if I'll be able to keep it up. I find myself having extremely blue feelings and without taking anti anxiety meds I truly would not be able to function as all."


"Amazing. I haven’t been to the dentist in 22 years and was super anxious for a deep cleaning. Was prescribed triazolam and it was a miracle for me. Made me feel sleepy and I didn’t have one care in the world what they did to my teeth. Afterwards came home and slept like a baby for an hour or so and woke up feeling totally normal. I was nervous to take the triazolam because I don’t like drugs but it truly was very gentle and effective. No weird side effects at all. 10 stars!"


"I've been using Testim for just 6 days now,  based on low free-T and low sex drive. One 50mg tube of the 1% creme a day.
Can't say I notice anything about it except a very strong smell.
It is very possible however, that my wife likes the smell - she seems to be much more "interested" in me just since I've been applying the stuff."


"I was on a different brand of Adalat CC 30 mg.  I am a Military Widow so fill most of my prescriptions at Military Base Pharmacies.  In Dec. 2011, I had my prescription filled and noted the pill was different in color & size.  The Military Pharmacist told me the Government had changed to a different drug company for Adalat and it might take 3 or more weeks before the new drug formula would work for me.  Six weeks later, my blood pressure is not being controlled as well as my former Adalat prescription did.  I can't switch to another brand for 90 days because TriCare for Life will not let me fill a new prescription till I run out of the brand I received. I cannot afford to pay over a $110 at a civilian pharmacy to change to another brand."


"I love this implant! 18YO. The nurse completely numbed my arm and I didn't feel anything (I did have a knarley bruise tho.)
Seems you either love it or hate it when discussing certain birth controls. I have only had one period in 16 month! Everyones bodys are soo different and react differentl but I am MUCH happier on this than Yaz. Good luck ladies on your birth control venture!"


"I started this 4 weeks ago. I was originally on Paxil but I was tired of its side effects. My doctor switched me to Wellbutrin after also trying Cipralex, Effexor and Zoloft.  It works great. I had almost no side effects when I started it (I did with every other medicine). It does increase anxiety for me though. Wellbutrin gives me more energy and makes me feel alive again. Because of the energy, I work out now which helps counter act the anxiety. It did not increase my sex drive BUT it made me normal. (Paxil made it so I wouldn't even let my husband touch me). I have lost the weight that Paxil made me gain and then some! I would recommend it to people for sure but if you have bad anxiety like I do, try being really active as well."


"I got my Mirena put in in 2008. Its been in ever since. When I first got it I spotted  for the first 6 months pretty heavily, but I expected that. Then the heavy turned light. About a year and a half later my period stopped completely. Once or twice a year since then I spotted for about a day, but it was hardly a big deal. So far so good. "


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I was prescribed this by my dr. for a colonoscopy and I'd say it started working in about 30 minutes.  Unlike others, I had no problem drinking it as my dr. advised me to mix it with orange gatorade.  I mixed it early in the morning and refrigerated it until about 5 pm and was able to chug it down.  For me it was easy to drink because it was cold and the gatorade made it sweeter."


"Had nasty nose infection after having a cold and fever last year. I had to wait 14 days before it cleared the rash at tip of my nose which left a scar.  Today I got it again and fresh garlic stopped from spreading immediately.  No more creams for me.  I'm truly amazed.  It seemed to stop spread fast, stop itch. Just plain fresh garlic applied to affected area."


"I love Differin. I seriously cannot live without it! My face is acne free for the first time ever! In the beginning yes you might not notice any changes but just keep using it day after day and after a few months you'll see the progress."


"I find Risperidone(2mg at night) very agreeable and experience no side effects at all. I hve been on many meds for Bipolar and experienced drowsiness and fogginess on most of them but with Risperidone its almost as if I am taking nothing at all. There might be some slight weight gain but I started gaining weight when I was previously on Chlorpromazine so I cant be sure. I am also on 500mg Lithium, half in the morning and half at night. Have been taking resperidone for the past 6 months and I hope it prevents relapse which I have been having almost every two years in the past."


"I have taken this drug for 22 years. I take 1 mg tablet 3 times a day. It has helped me greatly. I am taking it for anxiety and have had no problems with it."


"i recently started taking seroquel.  for years I had racing thoughts, inability to sleep (sometimes as little as 3-4 hours for days), my mood was that of a ticking time bomb.  My family did not know when I would have a mood swing.  Worse than that, neither did I!  I find that with seroquel I am able to think rationally and act appropriately.  Without it, I have had a LOT of trouble with impulsive behavior that has caused an immense amount of grief and struggle for my family."


"I have had panic disorder for 19 years. It started with "status panicus" (continual panic), which was treated by a year of imipramine. When that was tapered off, I switched to concentrated EPA Omega-3 oil, which has controlled the panic for 18 years. But, it sometimes breaks through, especially when I am building up antibodies to an infection. That is when Tofranil (lorazepam) comes to my rescue. A 0.5 mg dose will quell the aura/breakthrough symptoms. A similar dose at bedtime will get me the crucial night of sound sleep that I need to get the disorder back into its cage. Sometimes one good night is all I need to get back on track - a life saver."


"I have been sweating from 7th grade to 11th grade...and never once told anyone. It was horrible! Not even my family new I had the problem. Well I'm so tired of hiding it and feeling insecure and skipping out on fun teenage things so I finally told my mom and she admitted to me that she also suffered from a sweating problem. She explained to me that she used Hypercare and so after going to the doctor I got some of this. I have used it for 4 days now, and each day I used it it worked better so I'm very happy! I'm hoping that it works in the future months so that I will be stress free about it when school starts! Thanks Hypercare."


"I had a series of heart surgeries two years ago due to constrictive viral and then bacterial pericarditis. I have fibrous muscles in my chest from the pressure of up to two liters of extra fluid inside my pericardium multiple times and then not healing properly after the surgeries. I have been in a lot of pain for the last two years. When I first took the patch I was shocked at how well it alleviated my pain, I was only on 5mcg/h, the smallest patch, and it worked wonders for me. At least for a while. After 6 months we have decided to stop the patch due to what seems to be opioid induced pain increases due to the mental effects of the drug. As well as some serious and stubborn constipation due to the opioid."


"I have been taking tamoxifen for less than a month. I have had fatigue, chills, shortness of breath, night sweats, blurred vision, difficulty sleeping. It seems as if I get over one side effect and here comes another. I feel like I am going crazy. I am trying to stick with it, but it keeps changing."


"We moved to VA after 3 years on orders and my Anxiety came back. My anxiety was situational. I had a refill left on my Zoloft. I filled it but it didn't work like the first time. Everything felt constricted. Nothing seemed clear to me. I tried Venlafaxine after crying to my doctor and I have been extremely happy. I will say, just like the other reviews mentioned, if you miss a dose, it's horrible. The dizziness, anxiety, foggy thoughts are severe. I'm on 75 mg and feel great."


"I found that this medication was very helpful for me. I have fibromyalgia over ten years now, as well as three bulging disk, two very bad knees, other medical problems. I have taken other muscle relaxer's that just didnt work for my pain. But Soma really helped me and helped me do a little more of the things I used to do. Even though I will never be able to do all the things I once did, Soma has helped me to do some of the things I once did, cause it helps me so much with my muscle spasms. I really thank my Dr. for recommending this muscle relaxer for me."


"I'm on 150 and it doesn't do anything"


"My child was diagnosed with cluster migraines when he was only 3.5 yrs old.  This is very unusual.  We refused to put him on anti-seizure medicines, which the Dr. said has the side effect of helping migraines.  Instead we opted for Cyproheptadine and it has worked wonders and improved his quality of life by 100 fold.  Yes, have to watch that weight gain but otherwise it has been a miracle."


"I didn't know anything about this drug and was on darvocet when my workmans company suggested I switch to this. It was a little weak at first but then I got it into my system on a regular basis and it seemed to dull my pain. Both heels were crushed in a fall and I had reconstruction surgery. This does make me sleepy and is terrible to get off of. I had every symptom of withdrawal listed. I had to call my doctor back and be put back onto it. BEWARE."


"I smoked for 16 years. After almost 3 weeks on Chantix I all of a sudden had no desire to smoke. I've been cigarette free for 17 days and loving the way my hair smells "


"on day 14 of otezla. the usual occasional headaches that i have been plagued with for years are now daily and can be quite intense, which is resulting in lost sleep. the nausea is almost constant. i was hoping for some weight loss, none yet. no diarrhea, in fact, it seems to be the opposite at times.  my red spots on legs, arms, feet and hands have doubled.  it's the start of summer and i am so discouraged. i wear a long sleeve shirt and long pants every day.  i am constantly paranoid about my skin and i stand a certain way, so people won't see my ghastly looking feet. i don;t like anyone walking behind me. i'm stubborn so i will stick with it for now and just live with a headache, nausea and lots of red spots."


"The way lamictal works faster or slow is due to your metabolism. I could go up doses very fast without having the rash but wow I suffered so much while going through this process. It does get worse before it gets better. Once you get to the therapeutic dose then things start to improve. Now; some of us have vivid dreams. Scary sometimes but you get used to them. Also it took me at least 5 months until I got its full benefit. And it may cause you insomnia, need some ambien for that. Ambien stopped working after 5 months. And so when I tried melatonin it worked pretty well. Melatonin didn't work in the first months on this Drug. Only worked after the 5 months and then after few 2 months I didn't need it anymore. I was sleeping well without it."


"Suffered undiagnosed since I was about 18.  I am 74 now and thanks
to this site and others, I diagnosed myself and got referral to a wonderful neurologist.  I got my first injection last week, and for the
first time since I was a kid, I feel like a kid again.  It's not perfect, but I
never knew perfect.  No more pain, and I can walk again and not think about my neck.  I wish I had this before I left my wonderful job on a handicapped pension. It gave me my life back."


"I must say that Ultram ER has worked better for my pain then any other Fibromyalgia FDA approved drug that I've tried."


"t4 only kept me sick for decades!"


"This medicine has been a miracle for me when I have cramps. It takes a while to work (40-45 mins) but once it does, I feel much better."


"This medicine helped immediately.  I was having the shakes, terrible anxiety and depression and after taking clonidine for 1 day I was feeling almost normal again.  I was taking almost 10 Vicodin 10/325 per day.  It has been 7 days sober and I feel great."


"I just used Relistor for the first time. I have chronic abdominal pain that provides the wonderful need for strong narcotics. They are terrible on my system and possibly from the constipation or maybe a result of the many many surgeries I have been through I have very painful bowel movements. Its like I can feel the stool winding through my bowels and it feels like sharp rocks! After the injection I had almost instant cramps and only a moderate amount of gas. I felt the "winding rocks" moving with a vengeance. That's why I'm not giving this a 10 because of the cramps (which could possibly be issues with my system). Like another reviewer said..I had a massive movement 30mins later. NICE!"


"I'm suffering from OCD and anxiety disorders for the last 22 years.

This pill is the only one who helps.

Only 0.5 mg and you immediately feel the difference."


"What a nightmare this has been for me. After 3 months of using rogaine, my desire to have sex has gradually dissappeared. It has been 2 months since I stopped it and nothing has changed. This side effect is not even listed as a possible reaction. And how long has this been on the market? I simply cannot believe that this poison has not been removed from the market or asexuality mentioned as a possible outcome of this. I have no idea when I will recover and if I will recover. I'm seeing a dermatologist soon. I hope he doesn't simply tell me that this is all in my head or not related to rogaine because he will not like my reaction. I am terrified...I don't know what to do about this. I plan on contacting lawyer about this"


"I have been on Deplin for six days and I am amazed with the change in my emotions and feelings. I take 7.5mg of Deplin and 60 mg of Prozac and I am pleased with my increased defenses to deal with my daily life.  I feel like myself again for the first time in 10 yrs.  I hope Deplin will continue to provide me with the positive attitude that I am now feeling. I feel like a whole new person."


"I absolutely hate this pen. It jams up every time I use it. I have already voiced my complaint with my pharmacist and I will be asking to switch back to my previous lantus supplier."


"Great med, but it always makes my lip swell and crack.....but the furuncle was gone!"


"This is the first time I've ever had a yeast infection, I'm 21 and it's probably because my diabetes is out of wack. I inserted the cream at about 2 am and by 5 I was crying in the shower washing it off. EVERYTHING is swollen. My vagina is swollen shut, my vulva is so swollen if my legs aren't all the way spread they touch. I have broken my back before and I'm 99% sure this pain is worse. I took a Vicodin an hour ago and it hasn't helped. I'm NEVER using this product again!"


"I have been on paroxetine for over 4 years.  I feel great, I had a minor weight gain but that is inconsequential when compared to the positive effects.  I have let my daily doses lapse, and admit that there would be some powerful withdrawal if one was to quit cold turkey.  After speaking to my physician, she informed me that if and when we decided to cease my treatment it would be done under her supervision, and on a gradual lessening of the dose.  As with any medication I would never stop taking it until instructed to do so by my doctor.

This is by far the BEST medication that I have been on for the treatment of my depression.  Myself, and all those around noticed a big difference in my mood and personality."


"After I had it removed 3 months ago I have tried other methods. Gained weight and bad mood swings on the pill. With Implanon I never used to worry about getting pregnant. I had hot flushes and bleeding but I also enjoyed the many months without periods. I'm having another 1 put on next week."


"I'm not sure how it worked for me, I took it and within 15 min I threw them back up. The clinic had me take them on an empty stomach it was the 2 pills at 500mg. I hate them, I really don't want to take them again, but I have no choice. I'm pregnant and have to do what's best for baby and I. This time around I'm going to eat first."


"I am on day 6 of this medicine and I still feel horrible. The body aches are gone (thank goodness), but everything else still exists. I'm still extremely tired and nauseous and I have been coughing uncontrollably, sneezing, runny nose etc. I can not stand more than a min without having to lay down.  I feel like I wasted $50.00. I was so excited to get this drug to offer me some relief."


"I currently have my 2nd Vantas Implant and am very discourged with what i believe are negative side effects. I had a Radical protetecomy in June '04,(nerve sparing) then went through 40 radiation treatments due to the fact my PSA continued to elevate. ( ever so slightly ) My Dr. recommended the implant. it has, in my opinion. dramatically decreased my sex drive and created a serious problem of erectile dysfunction, due to the fact that it reduces your level of testosterone dramatically."


"Fantastic drugs. Lost a lot of weight with no side effects."


"Diagnosed with hypothyroidism over ten years ago with body aches, insomnia, brain fog, weight gain, etc.  On Armour all my symptoms went away except for weight gain despite heavy exercise and dieting.  I keep up my regimen but I'm desperate to lose the weight.  I don't understand why the Armour has helped everything but the weight gain."


"I take Lyrica since 2007 and managed to lower the dosage to 100mg. It's what allows me to live a normal life. I associate the mood changes and somnolency to the amount of pain I feel more than to the drug it self. Fortunately I can get it cheaper then in the beginning. I hope the generic comes soon!"


"Great for Post traumatic stress disorder symptoms."


"Wish I had read these reviews before wasting $86.
First application was at night next morning the redness was gone second night a little while after using had bright red cheeks gave it one more try my cheeks and nose were red and had pimples over nose face very hot and burning this took days to settle down.
Have gone back to using Rozex. Galderma must know this product causes more problems to us who suffer from rosacea.
They should have to refund money wasted on this product.
Don't touch this product bad news."


"This was easy to take after leaving the hospital.  Take it with food definitely.  I started out with 4 pills all at once and then gradually reduced them day by day as directed by my doctor.  I found I had increased energy and appetite.  Also, they cleared up my seborrheic dermatitis that I have been treating for several years now with topical solutions.  I would definitely use this steroid again."


"It worked for the allergies but I can not sleep. I took it early yesterday morning around 7 it is 1:15 am now. I tried melatonin and a Benadryl nothing! Never never again!"


"This works well for my TMJ, neck, shoulder pain. My TMJ can be horrible and radiates down my neck. I've had all these things checked and MRI'd including my neck and shoulder and either there is a nerve issue or my TMJ is the root cause to all of it. This medicine is great to keep the pain at bay with no side effects that I've noticed."


"I have IBSC and I read about Linzess and asked my Dr. If it would benefit me.  Started on 145 and it worked great for a while.  Then hit and miss with a lot of gas, belly pain, bloating and either diarrhea or not going at all.  Tried on and off then the 74 became available. It is better but still has lots of side effects and I can definitely not take daily.  I take 30 minutes before breakfast and it produces bowel movement within an hour.  I have at least 3 trips to bathroom with very soft BM's. Hope something more effective comes along without all the side effects."


"I started to take this pill and immediately stopped losing weight. I just had my second child and started an exercise program with a diet and was losing the baby weight fast. As soon as I started to take this pill I have not been able to lose any weight. Also, I had my period and a week and a half later I started to bleed again all the way till I finished my pack of pills, so for two and half weeks straight. It has only been a couple days without bleeding right now. Also, I have a headache every day, am exhausted and I get in a VERY bad mood very fast. The other night I was so bloated I looked bigger than when I was 7 months pregnant. I called my doctor and they did not seemed worried at all. However, I think I will stop taking this pill."


"I have been taking Lunesta for two years.  It has been wonderful.  My wife appreciates the fact that I sleep all night now.  I can set my clock by it, consistently wake up at 7 hours, refreshed.  I have tried the 2MG and does not quite work.  3MG does the job for me. I have no problem waking up to answer the telephone or help with the kids, and then go right back to sleep.  Good stuff, but expensive.  My wife says it is worth it."


"Plus side: Prednisone does indeed reduce the inflammation in my lungs so I can breathe.
Con side: It wires me. We're talking spending the entire night staring at the clock because I cannot sleep while taking it. This time I was sent home with a four-day course of prednisone as well as a sleep aid to counteract the insomnia. I've taken two (generic) Ambien and I am once again awake at 2AM and have been since 1. I got maybe two and a half hours of broken sleep before awakening at 1. I mean, yes, I need to breathe but I also need to be able to sleep to function."


"I am diabetic 2 so I take bout ten diff meds for pain to joint pains back pain..then you get sick from all side effects..well I take amitriptyline for pain and does help me sleep at night better more then anything,,I have lost some weight but doesn't do a lot for pain for me..."


"I have fibromyalgia, scleroderma and polymyositus, all have to do with muscle pain and tendon pain. I must say, I went from shuffling in the morning, not being able to walk, to feeling little pain. It's been a month now. I am also on methadone, which, by itself, did not help. I do feel very fatigued, and out of sorts, but, I would rather be like this than the way I was in pain."


"I was only on Pristiq for 3 days before I had to stop taking it cold turkey. I've dealt with restless leg syndrome since my childhood (I'm now 20), but it would only affect me once or maybe twice per year. Out of the 3 days of taking Pristiq, I suffered from terrible restless legs while trying to sleep for 2 nights. I think the 2nd day I took it I had already experienced a bit more energy and felt sort of happier and less stressed, but unfortunately I cannot continue to take it due to the negative side effect.

By the way, I know it's bad to stop taking anything cold turkey, and I'm currently suffering from that as well because my doctor hasn't returned my calls regarding the issue in 4 days. "


"I ate light two days prior to taking Suprep. The day of starting Suprep I drank coffee and gatoraide and had soup broth and green jello and drank water. I started at 600 PM and drank the suprep in two big gulps. There is no way to tell you how bad it taste but I have taken worst. I quickly drank one 16 ounce bottle of water. I felt nauseous and bloated after drinking the second 16 ounce bottle of water. I kept burping and spitting up thick salvia but I didn't vomit thank God!!! It took two hours before it start working for me. I did what someone earlier suggested and that was camp out in the bathroom until its over. I sat my laptop up and played Sims while sitting on the stool. My stomach rumbled but didn't really cramp that bad.lasted to 10:"


"I am currently in rehab I was addicted to benzos and prescribed methadone . And coming off these two h ve uncovered anxiety and depression.  I have suffered from anxiety many times before but I hadn't really had depression in years I really  think it was  drug induced . I started citalopram 10mg 3-4 weeks ago and it wasn't cutting it,  so started 5mg trintelix two days ago, so far so good,  I feel more alert, the only side affect is slight ringing in my head,vit's not really bothering me hoping it passes .   Take care.:)"


"I overall was not very happy with this. The reviews were horrible online but I decided to try it anyways. It did shorten and lighten my period a lot which I loved. But I had a lot of spotting before I got my period which was annoying. I did notice my acne get worse. But no emotional effect except being more hungry, I also noticed my breast get slightly bigger but as well as my belly area. I'm 17."


"I have taken Adderall XR for several years and found that long acting amphetamine was the best treatment for my ADHD. However, I frequently had issues remembering to take it in the mornings and would often forget to take my medicine. Adzenys XR-ODT is so convenient in the blister pack I remember to take it, and the orange flavor is great! It lasts all day andI don't get a bad crash at the end of the day like I used to with my Adderall XR. Also, got first month free and pay only $25 per month with co-pay card"


"Bitter taste in your month all way through! On the first day had a heart racing and high blood pressure so I had to call an ambulance! On a third day severe headache and worsening reflux. On a fifth day nausea lack of sleep vomitting funny feeling in my throat and chest suppose caused by reflux. I leaves you feel really week and sweaty but overall helped with my chest infection when everything else failed and my hope was lost. I also had vivid dreams didn't like that too."


"I started taking this medication, and it has literally been a godsend. I was having anger issues, outbursts, anxiety, and ultimately depression. This drug killed all of it. I feel so much happier, stronger, and back go the person I was well over 10 years ago.

I had once where anger got the best of me, and I slapped my hand hard against the wall. But other than that, everything has been great. Don't let other reviews scare you from taking this drug. It affects everyone differently. If it's making you more anxious or depressed, it's most likely not the right drug for you.

Side effects I had were headache the first day, major fatigue the second day, and diarrhea. I'll probably experience a bit more as my body adjusts, but it's SO worth it."


"Elmiron has worked wonders for me! I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis in January and it took a long time for the medicine to kick in. I didn't feel much relief until June, approximately 5mos, don't give up! I still have frequency but not even close to how it was, I had a lot of burning pain, my bladder seemed like it was on fire all the time, I felt fatigued, weak, depressed but thanks to Elmiron now on the road to recovery!"


"I have been diagnosed with uncontrollable seizure disorder. I am 29 and have no prior seizure problems. They began when I was 27 for reasons my physicians cannot explain. I have no warning or recollection of them when they occur. In fact when I do have them, people around me tell me I just had a seizure and I never believe them. I don't have a warning such as a strange smell, taste, or  feeling that a lot of people with seizure disorders experience. I was on Dilantin for 2 years and was still having seizures 3 to 4 times a month (which is a LOT). Recently (about 6 months ago) I was prescribed Lamictal (Lamotrigine) and have not had a seizure since. I recommend talking to your doctor about this medication. It really worked for me! Good luck."


"Helped bring down high blood pressure in a short time on maintenance dose of 1.25mg but caused unbelievable itch"


"I have been on Yasmin from 2010 till now. It helped clear my acne, though I used other prescribed medication as well. It helped clear my acne to an extent, still get fine pimples. My left foot started swelling 6 years ago, now the right foot started, to an extent I can't walk. Been to the doc and he advised to change my contraceptive pill. This is the second case. Medicine affects you in the long run."


"Lexapro (Cipralex in Canada) is an effective antidepressant that worked well for generalized anxiety disorder. I took it because I had general anxiety (occasional panic attacks) and depression. It worked well in both areas. It helped a lot with mood, confidence, anxiety, motivation. But it was not without side effects. It does cause weight gain, although the exact reason is confusing. I went from 180 pounds to 200 pounds in 6 months. There are also sexual side effects, prolonged ejaculation with very little feeling and a strange feeling of being unable to urinate freely (taking longer than usual). It made me very sleepy. Weening off is difficult. Those are the pros and cons. If the cons don't sound too bad to you it will help otherwise."


"I take 1 mg at nite to sleep. It works for about 6 hrs. However, I am having hair loss so I'm upset about that. I also take 20 mg Celexa."


"Zelnorm is the only medication that worked for my IBS.  I am on other medications and I am having a lot of problems"


"This birth control is horrible . I was only taking it for 3 weeks and my period came right back and it's heavier than it normally is . Like way heavier and usually my periods are light. I hate this birth control I hate it ! Not only that my cramps are way worse too . Preventing me to be able to get up for school or work . "


"I am 20 years old and I have ADD. I have been on every medication under the sun. I've been on the lower dose of Vyvanse for about a year and 1 week on the 40 mg.
It has turned me into a monster. Side effects, I have been temperamental, irritated, easily annoyed. Mean to people close to me for no reason. Tired of school, want to give up school, dizzy. Feel like on autopilot going through the motions not really there, don%u2019t care anymore, isolation. My eye sight has been whack since I started higher dose. Have had chest pain not often every once in a while. I am happy during the day but at night. "


"I inserted the ovule around 6:30p immediately followed by the external cream. Around 9:45p, I began to feel an intense burning sensation. Like others have claimed, I have a high tolerance for pain. I did not cry, and I did not show my family that I was in extreme discomfort (I REALLY WAS). It is now 11:30p, and I am feeling a little relief; it is much more bearable. I think the medicine is very highly concentrated, and it bothered me so much as it started working. I hope I continue to feel better. The discomfort was not worth the cure, though. My YI symptoms felt better before. I will definitely go to my doctor next time."


"I am a serious marathon runner. Started suffering from strange respiratory problems 3 weeks before Chicago marathon. Flew into town to run with a 102f fever. Doctor prescribed this. Within 48 hours things started improving. Now 6 days in on 10 day treatment and most symptoms gone. No side effects. Didn't run marathon, but this medicine seemed to break a nasty infection."


"Age 67, started Cialis 5mg daily 2 months ago for prostate issues (weak stream, getting up at night to pee) but didn't feel I needed it for erections.  Now able to pee across the length of the bathtub and sleeping through the night (if I don't have a beer with dinner).  Most surprising is how  well it works for my erections!"


"I was previously using Ortho-Tricyclen (which I thought was great) before being switched to Tri-Sprintec in January. I have no idea if my symptoms are because of Tri-Sprintec. And what I have to share is much longer for me to type, so I'm probably better off having conversations to confirm my theory or doing more research.

All I can say is that for weeks, I've been waking up to excruciating pain every night in my back, chest, and stomach. It goes on for hours until I pass out from exhaustion as soon as it's over. What I've been feeling since early February has taken a toll on my body and my emotions.

Some reviews say there's a feeling of dread, which is definitely relatable. I've had enough and I'm scared to fall asleep now because I know"


"I was diagnosed with IBS after a long, painful battle with RLQ Abdominal pain. I was prescribed Linzess. Before I took Linzess, I could go to the bathroom every single day, multiple times if I needed to. First day of Linzess - cramps literally DOUBLED my original rating of an 8 on a 1-10 pain scale, 10 being worst pain in life. Was in complete agony until it wore off. Couldn't go to the bathroom at all. Second day of Linzess- cramps literally TRIPLED my pain. I've been in bed crying because I can barely talk because I'm in so much pain and yet, still no bowel motion. Not only is this medication making my pain much worse, it also caused me to become constipated because I wasn't constipated before. I will NOT be using this medication again."


"I started with the starter pack, and when I went from 10 mg to 20 mg, it was a train wreck. I actually couldn't function, my entire body was like hell no... massive fatigue, cramping in the stomach, fogginess, couldn't go to work. I feel like I had 30 beers. I hope this works out for you if you are trying it, but I'm finished with this.gl"


"I have been on victoza for about a month and have lost 10lbs. No real problems don't eat much but I like it. Think about going up on it and see how that does."


"I had a bad accident in May 2007 and the doctors put me on roxicodone. My life started to fall apart if I didn't have my meds, couldn't function . Missed a lot of work. Outings with my kids, etc. In 2008 I decided to get help so got on methadone and since then being in treatment I have gained so much of my life back. I can function now. I go do things with my kids and I am able to have a normal life again. Like it used to be before my accident. If you ever have a situation like this you need to try this."


"So I see a lot of people complaining of nausea. This medicine will make you ill if you don't eat with it. That's why it states on the bottle take with food. This medication has its ups and downs but it has been effective for me in the past. Though some times it causes me a yeast infection (probiotics helps with that). The metallic taste is probably the worst part for me. This round though I'm on day two, pill 3 and I feel like I woke up and the smell had gotten stronger. Anyone else ever experience that? That and cramps are the only symptoms I have, I just want the smell gone! I'm wondering if it will get worse for a second before it gets better."


"This is the start of my 3rd day in this medications. I am in 25mg once a day. So far I notice it makes me a little sleepy, dry mouth and gives tingle sensation on my head. Although benefits so far have been that I passed my quiz for college 100% and was able to FINISH multiple tasks yesterday! Only third day so we'll see how it progresses with my body. AGE: 21, 110lbs, F"


"Do not get this! I got these in 2008 after the birth of my daughter. From the beginning I had heavier periods and cramping so bad I couldn't get out of bed for at least a day. I got to where I was bleeding constantly for a month or two at a time. I ended up having it surgically removed in 2013 because it shifted and stuck through my uterine wall. I have been TTC since then. Now instead of always having a period, I will go  months without one and still have not been able to carry full term (2 miscarriages)."


"Every time I bite my cheeks -- which happens fairly often as I am a clumsy chewer -- the injury turns into a painful ulcer lasting a week. I would typically spend about half of my month with them. Aggressive rinsing with other forms of mouthwash could sometimes help a bit.

Chlorhexidine gluconate is extremely effective at preventing and healing these ulcers. I can simply use one dose after an injury and never have a problem. If I ignore one long enough to form a small ulcer, two doses a day apart will immediately reverse its course toward healing. Now I never have to live with that mouth pain.

I have experienced no side effects."


"I am a 27 year old female. I was on oxy's, herion, pretty much everything. I was a garbage disposer. Then I went on Methadone. I was on Methadone for 7 years and had many relapses. When I got off methadone in January the withdrawals were horrible. I got on Suboxone, within 8 minutes I felt Normal! I am weaning off of them now. I am going slow until the point of 2mg every other day. I don't think the withdrawal will be bad. This is a GREAT drug. It can change your life."


"sever headaches and nausea.
Awaiting the phone call from my doctor to get me off it!"


"I was on Paxil for 13 years.  It helped my anxiety in the beginning but made me emotionless.  I almost never cried or got angry.  My sex drive was non-existent.  I had terrible withdrawal symptoms when I tried to get off of it.  If there is another option for you besides Paxil, look into it."


"I've never had acne until I was 27, I thought it was from giving birth but even 6 months later I was still breaking out. I started Trinessa and took it for 4 years and never had a pimple unless I stopped taking it. I'm now on a birth control implant and was taking Trinessa at the same because I was breaking out again. However I had to stop taking the Trinessa due to mood swings on two birth controls. I am going to have to take out my implant and get back on Trinessa, I get deep painful pimples that last weeks."


"I just started my second pack and i am pleased so far with the product. It seems like,based on all the other reviews, this bc is either going to be excellent for you or a nightmare. Luckily, i seem to responding well. I wont lie, the first week was terrible but i knew it would be since i was switching from gildess. The first day was ok, second day i was angry third day everything made me cry, i litterally cried all day long, next day i was tired, then i was pissed again and then my hormones finally calmed down. Ive noticed my acne and blackheads have cleared up significantly, my appetite is under control and my moods are more even. I am having a small amount of breakthrough bleeding which is to be expected on a new bc pill."
