"New to paraguard,  love it. Never had kids,  want to eventually.

Insertion was not terrible, a pinch to measure then another pinch to insert & done. I was prescribed 3 pills to soften the lining of my uterus & I guess they worked. I took aleve before & continued through the next 2 days.

 I had my SO come with me for insertion & I'm glad I did.  I could have driven home but it was nice to be able to relax with my cramping & not worry about driving.  I'm very glad I took a half day at work!  Thermacare heat pads were my bff for the first 2 days.  I spotted on and off for 8 days but since have had regular bleeding & some cramps.
My body adjusted well to hormone free bc & not having to remember a pill is liberating!"


"I suffer from depression with features of psychosis and after trying many medicines Abilify has been the best."


"Not so much of a comment about the effectiveness of Spiriva, but more about the company's "QUALITY CONTROL" which sucks! I've had a ongoing discussion with Boehringer Ingelheim, the company that makes Spiriva for the last year after receiving "blank capsules" in their packages.

At a cost of over $12.00 (in my case) per capsule, this is unacceptable. I honestly expected that this was a isolated incident at first and reported it to the company (and pharmacy) immediately, and again, and again, and again!

At first they stated it was a "isolated incident", then it was  a "equipment malfunction". Seems like they have a endless supply of excuses, rather than fixing the problem!"


"Works great to kick a opiate habit but a f**king nightmare to get off of.  I've had to stop because I'm pregnant and I haven't slept more than 2 hours a night in a week, go back and forth with having diarrhea and being constipated from being so dehydrated, my skin won't stop crawling.  It's a nightmare and I've only been taking it for about 3 or 4 months and was down to a 1/4 of a strip, skipping days when I could.  I wish I just would have detoxed the hard way for a few days."


"I've had 3 x Mirena's now. Love them. First 2 were great, no pain to get done, bled on/off for a couple of months then no bleeding for 5 years, no mood swings, perfect. I had one put in last October and was in excruciating pain that night. Doubled up in bed almost vomiting from pain. I have a high pain tolerance. It has settled down but have only had only a couple of days break here and there from bleeding. I never went back to my Gyno for my post check up which I should have done. I went to see my sisters Gyno last week and told him how I'd been having trouble so he checked and can't find iud. Going in for surgery Friday to get it removed and a new one done. Wouldn't be without one now. Advice - if not working how it should get it checked."


"This device was suggested to me first by my insurance company, because they want to try the cheapest route of treatment first, then by my doctor, who understood full well that the device was not going to stop  the regrowth of fibroids. Decided that we should go forward with the implant, which didn't not help,and  if anything made it worse.  Needless to say  the fibroid is still here, and heavy heavy bleeding lots of pain and being inserted was also very painful. When I went back for my 3 week follow up check up,the mirena was nowhere to be found. After a vaginal sonogram and x-rays they just assumed it was expelled from my body. I  found another doctor immediately and SHE schedule me for a partial hysterectomy within a month's time."


"I have been on the patch for about 6 months now, and I absolutely love it! It is much simpler than the pill, because you don't have to worry about forgetting about it! I've found that since starting it, my skin has been better, I don't get headaches, my sex drive is normal, no weight gain, and not as moody! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is annoyed with the dailiness of the pill."


"I've been using this medication regularly for almost two years and have never had a desire to switch to anything else. It hasn't caused cramps, weight gain, spotting, nausea, mood swings, or acne for ME personally. I'm naturally prone to mood swings and hormonal acne and I feel like it actually regulates both issues, although they're not gone altogether.

I do, however, get headaches when I go OFF this pill; there have been a few instances when I couldn't get my refill on time for either insurance or Rx issues, and after a few days off of this, I start to lose my appetite, become very fatigued, prone to headaches and even migraines. That is my only concern."


"I gave this pill 4 months and my face has been progressively getting worse with each pack. I'm also on 75mg of Spironolactone and I feel like that helps some, but not enough. I went on this to help with my chronic headaches and menstrual migraines, but it didn't help either. In fact, my cramps and migraines were horrible. I felt so sick every time I would bleed. I'm getting headaches every day still and I break out constantly. I'm also super depressed and feel down all the time. That just started with the 4th pack.

The pros are I didn't gain any weight. My breasts grew a cup size and I didn't get pregnant."


"I have had cold sore/fever blisters, my whole life my baby sister also. She would get them on her nose and lip. We both would never have relief from them. In 2006 I show a doctor about some spots on my forehead and at the time I had a nasty cold sore. Doc come in first thing he said is whats on your lip and the nurse had ask me the same thing. This was a dermatologist office, I said it's s fever blaster with a crazy look in my face. He said I can make those go away for good  I said prove it. Well almost 10 years later and I get no more cold sores. If I feel like ones coming up I just pop a one gram pill and it gone. My sister finally got the point a few years back and got prescription for it. She two plus years clean ."


"I was given Clarifoam EF by my dermatologist for my cystic acne. I must say it did not work at all for me, it didn't get rid of break outs or stop them. I had been using it for 4 weeks and still managed to get 3 painful cystic pimples between my eyebrows."


"My whole body would be on fire without Lyrica. My sensory neuropathy is so bad I wouldn't be able to eat most foods without terrible reflux pain that would burn my throat and face.

It does cause fatigue (build up slowly) but it's a trade off for quality of life. I have none without it.

Lyrica has been the only drug that works for my small fiber neuropathy that didn't suddenly stopped working for me.

I've had to increase dosage over the years. I currently take 350mg day, targeting 400mg."


"I have been on Trulance since July 16. I have nerve damage in my stomach (gastroparesis) and rectal nerve damage from type 1 diabetes. I have a very hard time having a BM. I was on Linzess and then on amitiza. They gave me diarrhea at all times of the day. I also have fecal incontinence. Could rarely go out of the house. Trulance is like a miracle for me. I take Trulance and within an hour I start going. I go about 5-10 times in the next 1 to 2 hrs. I have a mixture of solid and diarrhea when I go. I think because there is solid with diarrhea I am able to control it until I reach the bathroom. When this process is over I can go about the rest of the day until the next pill. I am happily able to go away during these times with confidence."


"I'm 17 and it was my first time on a birth control ever. It was awful! It made me have mood swings and I was always angry at the world. It made me suicidal. I took my anger out however I could and it ended up being on my boyfriend. We used to never fight and then we started to fight daily. I never had problems with my friends but I lost them all because of the monster I turned into. My boyfriend was fed up with how I treated him and it ruined our relationship. It took me until now to realize it was this awful birth control. I should have switched the moment I read all the awful reviews. I matched every single one of them and didn't notice until I lost everything. Stay away from Minastrin."


"Used it for claustrophobia when undergoing throat radiation therapy for cancer. Worked great.  Also used it for an MRI on my shoulder.

I don't have anxiety/panic attacks but for these medical procedures it worked great."


"I wish I found this feed while I was going through the intense burning and itching or before or I took the day 1. I always take the pill because I have had issues in the past if it not working. But this was insane I wanted to rip outhe my insides from the burning and itching. I had to wipe out the medicine as best I could and am waiting for my doctor to call in a pill. I will never try that pain again."


"I am very disappointed.  I had tried Ampyra about 3 years ago and found no effects at all.  At the urging of my neurologist, I tried again this year. For symptoms, I am taking Provigil & Baclofen.

I take Copaxone as a disease modifying agent.  Previous to restarting Ampyra, I was doing 1/4 mile on a treadmill 3 times per day plus one mile on the elliptical at night. My legs felt very heavy on the first day of Ampyra.  I might have done just one rep on the treadmill. I thought possibly that my body was adjusting to the medicine, so I gave it about one week. I found it difficult to do my daily treadmill.

Legs also were throbbing slightly at the end of the day.  This medicine had a negative effect. I am out a $300 copay."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Omg it tastes vile. I'm struggling to get through the first litre. I'm not looking forward to the aftermath or taking the 2nd litre. I'm just looking forward to eating after my colonoscopy tomorrow. I'm so hungry.. ."


"Working very well for me but nervous about how long I can be on it.  It's been just over a month.  Worried I'll never be able to sleep good if I go off it."


"Finally diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension without Papilledema after nearly 4 years of messing around with doctors who didn't believe anything was wrong, because my situation doesn't involve the optic disk swelling. Was started on Diamox 500mg a day...after 14 days severe stomach pain, I couldn't even drink water. Neurologist told me to stop taking it. The tingling, which is everywhere, turns to sheer pain if your out in the wind. By day 10 of taking the medicine, my lips started to purse on their own. My kids laughed because I had "duck face" for several days, even after stopping the med. Now I'm back on it, 125mg/day, same side effects. Sucks. Did not help my symptoms the first time, and hasn't yet."


"First and foremost let me say, for all the girls out the reading these reviews. STOP STRESSING. My bf and I tried to have sex on Jan.10. It was protected but he took the condom off at one point to see if it would go in better it did but only for a second. We ended up not having sex because I was to tight lol. I started reading about "precum" which is something my bf does get a lot of. I read how it can get you prego and I flipped out. I took "Take Action" on the 12th of January approximately 30hrs later. It made me really sleepy that day and the next day upset stomach. After a week of nothing and a week of cramps and slight nausea I got my period today, on the 26th, same as last month. I'm getting some birth control now ladies! Take care."


"I am only 7 days into this birth control and already I have packed on 5 lbs and my appetite is insane. I am also hungry and typically I eat a moderate amount . I am usually 173-175 and I have gone up to 179. I am stopping this birth control today! I spent alot of hard work to lose weight and packing on pounds is not worth it for me. My sex drive seems to be about the same, so as of just a week it had no effects over that. But 5 lbs in 7 days is unacceptable."


"I tried this medication.  It made me nauseous for weeks.  I know I did not give enough time, but I tired of being sick.  It seems like it works for some.  I am learning we are all different.  I started on Duloxetine this week, and I am already starting to feel better."


"I was on Singulair for about a year, when my medical aid would all of a sudden only pay for Tropaz (I believe it is a generic). Tropaz was equally effective, but after about six months of use I developed terribly dry and burning lips. I went of Tropaz for about six months, and started using it again. My lips were fine and for a couple of months I had no side-effects. The medical aid then changed from Tropaz to Minair and within 2 two months I had a disastrous allergen of hives and welts."


"DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! I get mild yeast infections every once in a while and it usually lasts a few days and goes away. Well I decided to try monistat 1. I inserted the ovule around 9pm and used the cream provided for just around the outside of my vagina and went to bed. I peed an hour later and went to lay down and I start to feel this intense burning pain. My vagina was swollen, red and the burning and itching was so painful and uncomfortable I couldn't sleep. I took a warm bath and then put ice on my vagina trying to ease the pain. finally after 2 hours got to a point where it wasn't completely unbearable but still burned. Today, 24 hrs later, it still is swollen, red and burns worse than the actual yeast infection. Waste of money!"


"I started the medicine and didn't have any side effects for up to three days, but after the third day the side effects hit me big time.  I was sick to my stomach, and I had vomiting.  I didn't have a problem with the taste of the pill, I just threw it in the back of my throat and chugged some juice to make it go away really quickly.  My infection seems to have cleared up, after the first two days.  No discharge, or itching.  Haven't had intercourse yet to see if the discomfort was gone but will make another review when that happens.  Great medicine!"


"I have been taking birth control for 10  years due to surgery at a young age. I can honestly say that Junel almost ruined my life. I became completely depressed on this medication, but blamed that on the fact that I just moved 1,000 miles from home and I was homesick. Then I started to realize that there was a pattern. I'd get extremely anxious and depressed for a few days and then it would subside (somewhat) for a week or two. It got to the point where my anxiety was so bad I could barely breathe and making it through a day seemed impossible. I talked to my gynecologist and had my pill changed. I am a completely different person now and thankfully got off of this medication before it claimed my life."


"If you are on the fence about taking Chantix don't be. This  flat out works. I was a 1 pack a day smoker sometimes 2 pack a day for 30 years +/-.

Even if your on it, and don't think its working, keep taking it why not. I smoked while on it until one day when I was lighting up and just didn't. I went the rest of the day without smoking. I then crushed what cigs I had left and was done.

I miss the dreams they were crazy awesome! As of now I am working on 2 years. Every once and a while I will kinda crave one but then I smell my co-workers right after they smoke and want to puke I can't believe I used to smell like that.

Just do it!"


"I started the medication on 4/6 weighing in at 242 and I must admit I have seen a tremendous difference after struggling with my weight over the past couple of years. I have been fortunate to not really experience any of the side effects due to me being proactive by taking something for acid reflex after seeing other reviews because I had it beforehand. I must say this is a very exciting weight loss journey; along with exercising and being moderate with my food intake I am down to 229. Hint:If you feel FULL!!!! stop eating this will eliminate the nausea feeling."


"I started using this medicine about a week ago and I've already noticed significant changes in my skin. Prior to use I had a very bad breakout of acne all over my face small bumps and big ones. Now I have very very few bumps and also the scars left behind from old bumps is also beginning to clear up and lighten my complexion for a more even tone. The only downfall is the stinging that occurs sometimes along with minimal peeling but other than that it gets the job done and I'm pleased with what I'm seeing thus far. Hopefully it continues to eventually make me acne free."


"After total hip replacement, I've been having severe muscle spasms in my lower back due to psoas muscle involuntary contractions. Have been on Norco 10mg for pain, which had no effect on spasms. Ortho surgeon gave me Robaxin 750 3x's per day and spasms are now rare and not severe when they do occur."


"I used this medication for 5 months. I started taking 30mg twice a day and the results were amazing! I have been off of it for 3 weeks and my skin still looks great. I used every cream, facewash and nothing ever worked for me. The side effects I had were very dry lips, rash on my arms, dry nose. I would highly recommend this medication. It really does clear your acne."


"I drank for years and years since I was 16 and this year my withdrawals started and I tried to stop but I didn’t because of horrible horrible withdrawals and NHS decided to help me and I took Librium for 8 days and all my anxiety and withdrawals disappeared after one hour!

It changed my life and I’m so grateful to be given a second chance and I’m only 25!"


"im a 55 y/o female who suffers from severe rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and polyneuralgia. I had my first injection yesterday. The injection was a bit more of a sting than most shots and there was a brief period of pressure, but overall, not that painful. It may or may not be related to Euflexxa, but a couple hours later, I was curled up in bed in incredible inflammatory pain. I received the injection around 2:30 pm, the inflamed state began around 4:00 pm, but by 11:00 pm or so, I was feeling great! I didn't get to sleep until after 3:00 am, slept in to 10:00 am, and woke up a bit weak. After meds and a cup of soup, I was revived and ready to go! I ran my errands full of energy! It felt weird that I wasn't limping!"


"I absolutely loved Prozac. It helped me immensely! I noticed an extremely positive change in my mood and behavior after my body adjusted to the medication.

Friends and family were surprised to hear that I was even on medication because of how relaxed and happy my disposition became. I'm happy I gave it a chance.

I built my way up to 60 mg a day for almost a year. However, my body has become used to it over time and I'm having to change medications."


"I took Minocin in my late teens for about 5 years and from what I remember I never had a single outbreak or flare up while taking it.  Having said that, if I missed a few days meds the acne would break out. Though it never cleared my skin completely it most certainly helped."


"Worked for depression but diarrhea was intolerable."


"I was on Clarithromycin and Amoxillin (  proton pump inhibitor omeprazole) for a week (h.pylori). First four days felt like hell, then my body slightly adjusted to the poison and it was easier, also I found that I can relieve the horrible bitter sewage like taste in my mouth with a chewing gum. Once I took two Amoxillin 1000mg tablets instead of Amox. Clarithromycin, there were zero effects, while with clarithromycin added comes the horrible taste in mouth, dizziness and general ill feeling. I was dying few hours after taking my final dose of those antibiotics, had to call an ambulance, felt like my heart was stopping, they pumped me with something and I survived, one star above 1 because I can still write this review 2 days after last dose"


"I had Implanon inserted on 1/08 and it is the greatest birth control ever.  I have not had a period since then, very little in the way of mood swings, and no pregnancy.  I was very bad at taking the pills regularly, and the shot gave me migraines like no others I've ever experienced. I do have acne now, and weight gain (but I would bet that's from other lifestyle changes also)."


"I have been taking Belsomra for about 2 months now; but, not every night. My doctor took me off Ambien, which had worked GREAT for me with no side effects. I've found that Belsomra works sometimes and sometimes not. If I eat anything at all an hour or two before going to bed, (and I'm talking a very light snack), this med will NOT put me to sleep. I lie there for hours in a kind of twilight sleep, not being able to totally drift off. The next day it feels as if I haven't slept at all. I cannot count on this med to help me sleep. It does work on some nights and I have not been able to find the trigger that makes it work some nights and others not? I'm going to try it for a while longer; but, so far it's not worth the high price!"


"I got Nexplanon in Dec 2013. The insertion was painless and I only had a bruise for about a week. 2 weeks after I got it, I got my period which was super light and lasted for 10 days. It's almost Feb 2014 and I haven't gotten a period since. I love Nexplanon and highly recommend it! You don't have to worry about it for 3 years and it's the most reliable form of birth control. Love it!"


"I have had memory problems for several years. I have been on the same medication for mental issues at least 2 years.  I received my 1st shot of Stelara and it has been 3 weeks ago. I just wondered if this medication has been tested for other uses besides psoriasis? My memory is slowly coming back to me. And I would like to know if this could be due to Stelara? I Love this change in me and I think it's from the Stelara not to mention my psoriasis is great- in the week all my white scales went away.  Thanks"


"I have been on the NuvaRing for 2 years and I absolutely love it, I have no worries towards a pregnancy, it controlled my severe acne, but my attitude changed a bit (controllable), with intercourse I find myself dry as well as painful at the beginning but my partner doesn't notice it. I do notice it slips down when I'm doing activities which can be annoying but overall it's the best form of birth control that fits my life."


"I started taking Cymbalta after my doctor prescribed 2 other medicines over the space of 8 months, they made me feel worse not better. I was so ill I was hospitalised at one stage.  It took Cymbalta quite a while-  about 2 months, to kick in noticably, however my depression was severe. The nausea was awful the first two weeks and dizziness lasted about a week with me. I am pretty sensitive to medications however. I have been on Cymbalta for almost two years- at a high dose (90mgs). I do find I am hot and sweaty (at times), I need a lot of sleep and have put on weight, (though HRT could have caused this). However these side-effects are a small price to pay to live a normal life and be free."


"My doctor put me on this because my nose gets stuffy when I lay down and they didn't want me using Afrin. I've been on Flonase almost a week and I notice no difference. Sprayed each nostril every night....nose still stuffy. I can't sleep and it's going on 3am and I have to be up at 7. Nothing clears my nose as good as Afrin but it's bad for continuous use. So this stuff doesn't work."


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


"I HATED depo. Made me bleed soooo much I thought I was miscarrying. I suffered from extreme blood loss and am now on bed rest. Made me super moody, and I gained 20 pounds since starting in January. Switched to the patch, which has been soooo much better."


"My sweating is confined to my head and face. I must be the only one because the posts I've read is under arms, feet and hands. So I went to my dermatologist. I wanted Hypercare but he opted for the slightly weaker medication Xerac to start. It really stung my forehead the first  time, I left it on for three hours and had to wipe it off my face. Scalp was okay. Next day head sweat cut by 75 % I'd say. So last night it did not sting at all on my face. Left it on all night. Will see how I do today."


"First time using this. Doctor recommended I take the three pills because I really needed it..

I took three pills yesterday around lunch. It is now 9pm the following night and I am STILL in severe pain. I have had severe stomach cramps and chills since noon yesterday  And I feel like they are getting worse. I have had two natural childbirths with preeclampsia and having to be induced. I know pain. This is not as bad as child birth but it is close. I will NEVER take these again. I only wish I hadn't waited until I was sick to research side effects of this drug.

I hope this ends soon because I am useless right now. Thank goodness its a 3 day weekend and my husband is here to help take care of our children. Pain is excruciating"


"I was prescribed this med for depression which is also effective at bedtime for sleep & fibromyalgia pain.  The pain improved significantly and I felt more rested the next day.  A dry mouth is the main side effect that is noticeable.  This drug is very helpful."


"August 2013 and my experience with it has been both good and bad. The first month I did not have a period, then for the next six months I had a period every two weeks, now it's down to a period once a month. For pregnancy prevention its great, but not so great because of irregular periods."


"For anyone considering getting the Mirena PLEASE read reviews & weigh out other options. My doctor suggested I try the Mirena as treatment for PCOS. This was by far the worst decision I have EVER made. Almost every side effect stated possible, I had. Hair loss (that still, 2  years later hasn't returned to it's thickness), pain in the pelvic area, back pain, leg pain, weight gain (25  pounds in the central area), mood swings, depression, fatigue and more. This shouldn't even be an option anymore. I highly advise you to choose another method."


"I started this on Thursday December 12th on 0.6. I am supposed to see how it goes for a week and than increase the dosage to 1.2. The doctor warned me of suppressed appetite and stomach pain/cramps. I feel both but the stomach pain is odd. It's more like I feel like my stomach has been filled with something and is trying to burst out. It is temporary discomfort though. I am set to increase the dosage on 12/19. I am also on Glumetza two 1000mg tablets a day and 1 Glimeride a day. Just from the first day of taking it my numbers went from nearly 400 to 182. I am hoping it gets lower as I'm totally cutting out carbs. I do take cinnamon pills and drink a shot of Nopal juice in addition."


"I really enjoy Belviq. Its such a wonderful medication helps with appetite suppression. It has never been easier for me to loose weight."


"I have had on and off acne since I was a teenager, now 22, my acne became more hormonal on my cheeks.  I had tried everything, and decided to go to my doctor for a prescription. I was prescribed Stieva A 0.01%, and I am so happy!  I have only been on it for 7 days, but there has been a dramatic change already.  Over the first few days I had a breakout with the acne that had been under my skin, after they cleared up, I had a bit of drying (still do) but nothing too bad! I have also noticed that my skin feels a lot less oily, which I love! Will definitely continue, and can't wait to see results after a few months!

From what I have read online you are prone to breaking out at first, get through those first few days/weeks, results are worth it!"


"Hey gals! In a 'the heat of the moment' situation, my boyfriend and I ended up having sex on May 25. He pulled out and wasn't in for long since it was both of our first times & we're both in high school, but I was still freaking out. I took the morning after pill less than 12 hours afterwards. Then we ended up having a repeat of this situation May 30. So again, I took the pill. This time it was about 12 hours later though. I waited anxiously, but reading these reviews really helped me. I was sure I was pregnant. My periods irregular, so I wasn't sure when to expect it. I experienced cramps, moodiness, frequent urination, nausea, and fatigues. Now it's June 6th and I just got my period. Don't stress ladies, just let the pill do its job! :)"


"It has been a big help since I suffer from excessive daytime sleepiness. I have had surgery for apnea and do shift work."


"I was on Mononessa until the pharmacy changed their preferred generic to Sprintec. I never have acne and within days of taking the first pill I started breaking out. My period started 4-5 days before it was supposed to and I ended up having 10-11 day periods. On the previous pill I wasn't only having 5-6 day periods. This is the worst birth control experience I have ever had. I tried it for 3 months (mail order pharmacy sent 3 months worth) hoping it was just the first month, but instead I had 3 months of the longest periods of my life."


"IF YOU HATE YOURSELF & YOUR VAGINA USE THIS... IF NOT DO NOT PURCHASE THIS. I knew I had a yeast infection but was too lazy to go to the doctors & figured I would give Monistat 3 day a go... WORST idea ever. Yesterday was night one and 2 minutes after inserting the suppository my vagina was on fire (the only way i can describe it is like having poison ivy and red ants in your lady parts). Had a script called in for me & the doctor recommended I finish out the Monistat because I apparently have a "really bad YI". Night 2 is tonight and is just as bad as last night. I WILL NOT BE DOING THIS A 3RD NIGHT. All of the responses to this are spot on. Learn from everyone elses mistakes!!!!!!!"


"My mother started taking Tarceva after being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. So far she is doing okay - very chilled and developed a rash on her face which they say is not uncommon. Took her off of it for a few days to clear up the rash and hopefully she can continue. Her cancer travelled to her brain so we had a few more set backs but they tell us Tarceva has been known to help the brain in some cases just praying for the best."


"I would not do without it.  It has helped me now for over 3 years along with Tramadol. I can hardly walk in the mornings but after I take my medicines I can walk, run, dance, etc. Like I said, I need the Celebrex in my life or I'm no good."


"I went on bc to control my emotional balance and heavy cramping for my period. This bc did that. It made my emotions better. I was less of a mess but it came with a price. Extreme gastrointestinal issues. So bad. I leave for college in 8 days and I am stopping this pill because I can not be dealing with constant diarrhea at school. My first week of this pill I had major cramping, it went away but I've been bleeding non stop. I also lost 3 lbs. I'm a very slim female at 5'3 and roughly 92 lbs normally. I am now 88 lbs. my breasts have grown considerably fuller but at this price? I'd rather be flat chested again.

It's a no from me"


"I took a dosepack and it did not cure my sumac. I was prescibed another dosepack. It cleared my sumac symptoms.  I got Diebetis and dry mouth and I am still suffering 2 months later .
I will not take this drug again . I think the medical INDUSTRY is not sane.  Check the commercials on TV   you have your answer"


"I suffer from sever depression, severe anxiety, sever pain due to several other medical conditions and life itself. Been taking this for about 3 months and things are a lot less stressful. I can handle light social situations again. Im actually able to sleep all night again. This combined with my fleet of other meds I'm able to function a lot more. Ive been on the usual xanax and what not, those were fun but long term didn't work for me (i grew up yay) Need more meds like this on the market."


"I got Implanon in November of 2010 and have had if for 6 months now. So far I love it. I haven't had a period in about 3 months, although I still get some mild cramping and moodiness. I was on the pill for about a year prior to getting Implanon and it made me miserable so I was glad when someone suggested Implanon. The only thing that bothers me about it is the location in my arm because I constantly hit it at work on accident and it causes a little pain sometimes. Also I do have a small scar where they inserted it."


"I got my Skyla IUD 5 months ago. I am 18 and have never had a child. I liked the idea of the IUD because I didn't have to remember to take it, it was there for three years, it was the most effective, and because there was an option to have an IUD without hormones. I struggle with depression and anxiety and I was afraid that hormonal birth control would only make matters worse. However, because of all of the terrible period stories I had heard about it, at the last minute I had my OBGYN switch to Skyla. The insertion did not take long at all and amid horror stories, the pain wasn't unbearable. It didn't feel great, but it was well worth it. If the fear of insertion is what drives you away from this option, don't let that happen! Before my IUD my periods were like clockwork, every four weeks, five days, no cramps- perfect. Afterward, I still don't get cramps, some periods have been really light, but I have had a period that was over a week late and one that was two weeks long. This is to be expected in the first few months. I do not believe that it has had any influence on my depression/anxiety, at least not monumental. I haven't gained weight, lost my sex drive or any other negative symptoms. My partner has finished inside of me multiple times and nothing has happened. Also, he cannot feel the strings. I would highly recommend this form of birth control, I understand every body is different, but if you're spending hours reading horror stories like I was, don't let that stop you."


"The Necon 1/35 works great for my endometrieosis . In conjunction with the laparoscopy that I had it has really kept the severe pains away. Now all I feel during menstruation is discomfort. And my periods are extremely light. No more heavy pads and 7 day long cycles. My cycles have been longest 3 days and only require a liner.

On the negative side..... I HAD clear porcelain skin. From the very first day of the pill I began getting 3 little bumps between my eyes. After 3 months my face looks like a pizza pie with every single topping on it. I have a breakout on every section of my face.

Like another reviewer stated, I also gained 10lbs. But like her I am (was) underweight so I definitely don't mind."


"I am actually surprised to read all the bad reviews on here, because I've never used a better pill. I still haven't gotten my period post-partum since I'm still breastfeeding. So, the reduced hormones may be why I'm having a good experience.  Since being on this pill, my sex drive is through the roof (which my husband is so thrilled with), I don't have emotional highs/lows (and it may even be blunting my affect bc I don't really get sad at all anymore), and my skin looks great. I do have slight nausea about 2 hours after I take the pill each night. But that's totally worth it to me. My experience may change when my period finally comes back, but for now, I'm in love with the mini-pill."


"Please don't be afraid to try this! I'm 36 with no children, had to come off pill for health reasons.  Dr said it was great for women my age.  I was scared to death from all these reviews.  But I gave it a try.  Yes, insertion was terribly painful (and I'm a tough cookie), after a few hours of cramping, my ibuprofen did the job and I felt better. Had a sore back the next day and thats been it. No bleeding (insertion during my cycle) since.  I've been working out and actually have started to lose weight.  No acne or moodiness, although its only been a week.  Please give it a try and enjoy your built in birth control."


"I've been on Lexapro for about 2 weeks and I feel amazing! Not only has my anxiety decreased but my mood swings have also decreased. I'm experiencing some night sweats but that's nothing compared to the anxiety attacks I was having before. I've also noticed that I have little desire to smoke cigarettes and no desire to drink anymore. Lexapro has given me my life back! Taking for depression due to Bipolar."


"I have taken Tramadol as prescribed by my doctor for a little over 2 years. It works 100% for my restless legs syndrome. The only downside to this medication is the withdrawal symptoms when you stop. You have twice as bad the problem of restlessness than you had in the first place. The doctor gave me Clonidine and that really helped with the withdrawal problems."


"I have been on Effexor for about 6 months now. I was prescribed it for anxiety and social anxiety. My social anxiety is basically gone. I still get a little bit of anxiety but it is way better than it used to be. However, if I forget to take it I get very bad withdraw symptoms. But, I consider it worth it."


"First night had crazy dreams.  Couldn't settle in.  Next day nauseous all day.  Worse than flu symptoms.  I will never take again."


"I have been taking 300mg for a few weeks now and I have to say this medication has definitely improved my quality of life. Such a big change from when I was trying Zoloft, Celexa, Lexapro, etc. Wellbutrin XL helps control my gloominess, anxiety, and even my appetite. I am more motivated to do things during the day. The biggest side effect for me right now is that I am more snappy and aggressive when I get angry, hopefully that will subside."


"I'm 18 and I've had Implanon for 3 months and haven't stopped bleeding! At first everything was great but I notice now how much it is affecting me. I cannot get aroused, have vaginal dryness, abdominal pain, and mood swings. It is affecting my marriage. I'm getting it taken out. The only good things were it helped my acne and I didn't gain any weight."


"I love this pill. I give it a 7 tho because I ALWAYS feel so damn weak. I feel like I am getting the flu 24/7."


"I am currently taking the last of my second pack and I feel like my sex drive has been lost... I'm not sure if it's this particular brand or not, but ever since I started taking it, I have felt no desire for sex.  I am soon going to consult with my doctor to switch,  Also, it gives you your period for a week which I do not like.. Had pretty heavy bleeding my first period, guessing I'll have the same with my next cycle.  It works differently on everyone, but for me, it doesn't seem to be the right choice."


"I have been drinking heavily for the past couple of years now, and on most occasions 7 days a week. This was built up of a number of things, but the one thing I blamed the most was the stress at work. After speaking to my psychiatrist, and explained to him the level of drinking I was consuming, he suggested I use Campral. I was drinking approximately 2-3 bottles of either white or red wine each afternoon after work, and smoking about 20 ciggies during this time, however as of 6 days ago I have only drank once,(No smokes) and Campral seems to be working. For me it just help the slow down the urge to drink as frequently. If you do decide to drink while on Campral, look out for the hangover, it somehow makes you feel worse 10 fold."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"No side effects"


"I wanted to share my experience on here as I found comfort at looking at the reviews at a time of panic myself. I did not experience the side effects until a week after I had taken the pill. I experienced stomach pains, diarrhoea, fatigue and spotting. I read online that spotting was a sign of pregnancy so I was panicking! I was on holiday at this time so unfortunately it did damper my mood while I was on holiday a little. I was reading so many forums, researching the effectiveness of the pill, researching symptoms of pregnancy, etc etc, making myself so stressed out. I was losing so much sleep over it. Finally, my period came a week late, but I was so relieved! Have faith in the pill ladies :)"


"It was tough at first. I was constantly dizzy, nauseated and just not feeling the best. Driving was the worst. It took a very long time to get over those side effects and still feel some to this day. I've been on Contrave for over a year now. Supposedly, there is mild antidepressant in this mediation. It might just be in my head but I do notice my mood change for the worst when I miss doses. Also, I have absolutely no desire to smoke anymore.  I used to love smoking especially when I drank, but after finally getting my body adjusted to this medication, I can't even stand the smell of smoke.

You have to use the medication exactly as directed or it won't work. It doesn't make you not hungry, you just eat less."


"My Grandson was diagnosed with ADHD two years ago when he was 7. We started him in councelling and they recommended we try medication. I resisted not knowing much about ADHD.  They tried him on a couple of different medicines (without success) before we tried Vyvanse the first dose 30mg did show a vast improvement but it didn't last long. We increased the doses several times before reaching his current dose of 60mg.  Like the others have stated he has loss of appetite and trouble going to sleep. They continually monitor his weight and take blood samples to make sure there is no harm to liver and kidneys. He still has occasional meltdowns which we have learned to recognize. In school he has gone from impulsive to compulsive but again it runs in spurts."


"I have moderate acne and its really annoying to be honest. I tried everything from over the counter medicines like Clearasil scrub and wipes, Oxyface wash, tea tree oil, clean and clear and none of improved and to be honest it made it worse. So then I went to the doctor and he prescribed me Duac, Zineryt, tetracycline and Differin. The Duac I was prescribed with 2 years ago and it cleared my acne up for about 20 months but then they come back again, so I went to the dermatologist he prescribed me Accutane 30mgs and 20mgs prednisone after 1 month there were little improvement but then it got really bad. I'm currently on months 3 and its still bad. I've had my dose moved up to 60mgs. I hope it works I finish my course next month."


"I was having very bad drainage, kept coughing nonstop, nasal drip, no energy, and headache. I went to the doctor and was prescribed Sudafed,amoxicillin,and this. The Sudafed and the amoxicillin  have worked but this not at all. I am still coughing and if anything I think it's gotten worse.  I can't sleep because I am coughing so bad and I am noworking to the point where coughing has turned my throat red. This may work for some but has not done ANYTHING for me. I wasted $29 on a prescription that doesn't work. Not happy."


"I first started using minocycline when my rosacea got so bad it was affecting my eyes. This cleared it up in a few days. About a year ago I stopped using minocycline and yes, the rosacea came back. So I started it again and in 5 days the rosacea was totally cleared up again. I've noticed no side effects whatsoever. It really works for me."


"I had Implanon inserted in Summer 2009. I bled almost constantly for the first 3 months, and I almost gave up. I also noticed that I would get headaches if I didn't eat a good breakfast. The headaches stopped when the long bleeding stopped. My acne is a little harder to control now that I'm on Implanon, but its not bad. Now I have light, 3-4 day periods, usually more than a month apart. No weight gain, I've been skinny my whole life though. No need to use a condom! My long term boyfriend and I really like Implanon, it really is a 'no worries' method for us."


"I am reading different ADHD meds affect ppl differently. I see ppl posting that the same mgs meds from different manufacturers have varying potency. I was an ADHD child. I am now 56 y/o. I started taking Concerta (long acting ritalin) 56 mg from 2007 to 2014, then a new dr wouldn't prescribe it for me in 2014. It was a miracle drug. It gave me energy, strength, focus, avid concentration, a positive mood, goals and hope. Now, I have been off ADHD meds for 2 yrs. I gave it time to see if I could get better without it. It's getting worse. I stay in bed, don't shower, no motivation. Drs fear addiction 'coz of my age. I can't go on as a vegetable. Off the meds I grind my teeth like mad. I am gnashing my teeth from aggravation and lack of focus."


"I have been on MS-Contin for 15 years.  In that time, only one dose increase!  I take 2x60 mg daily.  Every 2-3 months, my doc changes medicine.  I used to be able to get Opana, 40 mg 2x per day, and it worked great!  Even better was Efalgo, 16 mg 3 x per day.  2 in the morning, one at night.  Now, insurance will not pay for either.  The only medicine I can tolerate is Opana, 80 2x per day, and they really don't work well.  It is so frustrating that the medicine that is the hardest to tamper with, Efalgo, is the hardest to get and most expensive! If I don't switch every few months, I build up a tolerance. I suffer from degenerative disc disease in my lower back, arthritis etc."


"I went to the doctor because I was having anxiety/stress issues. I was getting along with any of my co-workers, I was crying at work for no reason, and I just wasn't myself. I had never taken any prescription medicine before Zoloft. My doctor said she thought I had anxiety, and maybe depression. I was prescribed 50mg Zoloft to start for a few weeks. I was supposed to move up to 100mg, but the 50mg are doing just fine. I have been on Zoloft for about three months now, and I do no have any side effects, nor did I when I first started. I was also prescribed Xanax as needed, but I haven't even had to take any since I started the Zoloft."


"This medicine has changed my life.  I suffer from rapid cycling bipolar.  My up and down mood swings had been well controlled with valproic acid but I was left with spontaneous crying jags.  It was so frustrated to be completely unable to control my outward emotional appearance.  It's hard to be taken seriously at work or find a new job if I look like I'm having a total breakdown.  Internally of course I know this will be over in minutes and I don't feel any emotion about it at all except intense embarrassment.  I found I started to avoid situations I couldn't predict.  After about two weeks on this medication twice a day, my crying stopped.  I feel like a new person.  I am so much more confident about going about my daily life."


"I'm a Dutch veteran, I've been to Lebanon in '82/'83 and this year after a violent attack in my house, everything was changed and I had aggressive outbursts. After the police came the psychiatrist and I was diagnosed with PTSS. Now I'm using 75/100 quetiapine and it really makes a difference. Instead of almost no sleep, I'm sleaping now 4 to 6 hours a night.

I'm a little bith sheaky the few hours in the morning but I can control my moods and thoughts much better now."


"I suffer from moderate acne exacerbated by dermatillomania (skin picking). This product has been the most effective treatment I have used.  Since I'm 52 that means I've tried almost every prescription or OTC product.
My skin has healed and have no further breakouts."


"In 2009 after 6 rounds of RCHOP chemo, then BCNU chemo in the hospital, a bone marrow transplant, I had 3 years of remission. In Oct. 2012, rediagnosed out of remission, started on 6 rounds of bendamustine and Rituxan. The 6th month was skipped due to a low WBC of 2.4. I will continue on Rituxan for maintenance. I began my journey at stage 4E. I was rediagnosed after a fall in May, and was back to stage 4 by October 2012, so the combination of bendamustine and Rituxan have done good. I will receive Rituxan every 3 months or sooner as a precautionary measure."


"Had very bad side effects with this medication."

"I am 18 years old and have been on this birth control (only birth control I've ever taken) since January of 2015. My first few months were pretty good. I had mood swings of course, regular periods, very mild cramps and headaches (which I usually get every now and then with a period). But in march of 2015 I had a very light period, and haven't had one since. Yes, I'm regularly sexually active, I've have the same boyfriend for the past three years and we've never used any protection until I got on the pill. I take my pill regularly everyday around the same time and yet, I've still had no period. I took a pregency test and it came back negative, any suggestions on what may be going on? Are other females having this same problem?"


"I have been taking birth control pills for 7 years now. Was on Tri-Sprintec for most of that time and my breasts would get really sore once a month, so the doctor switched me to Levora. I had no problems with Levora. However, for the past 4 months, the pharmacist switched me to Portia and I have horrible breakouts one week a month. Kind of embarrassing when you're 27. To make matters worse, I have had perfect skin my entire life up until this point. That was the one thing I have always received compliments on, so it's especially heartbreaking to now go through this. I need to switch ASAP."


"I have been using the tablets for about twenty years, they are having less and less efficacy, I decided to try the patch, I has no effect at all."


"It has been great. Works a treat."


"Any drug can get a bad wrap because of some people abusing it. A lot of doctors don't even like prescribing Xanax because they don't want their patients getting "hooked". For me, I suffer from occasional anxiety attacks, and my prescription is "as needed". Anxiety attacks can be VERY scary. There were a few times I literally thought I was gonna die, it was that bad. I even went to the ER once because I believed I was having a heart attack. They are different for different people. I use to smoke and drink a lot of coffee, so I think that's what screwed up my body chemistry. I don't drink caffeine or smoke anymore. All I know is that now that I have my Alprazolam (Xanax) in my pocket, I'm not as scared to go places. I can live my life again."


"I was experiencing a stomach bug not too long ago that was making me constantly vomit. I was vomiting so much the whole entire day I became very dehydrated and the nausea was only getting worse. I was miserable! My advice nurse prescribed me this medication and within 10 minutes of taking it the nausea went away and I was able to get some food and fluids in my body without vomiting it back up. This was my life saver!"


"I have Major Depressive Disoder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I've taken Zoloft, Paxil, Citalopram. I'm currently taking Wellbutrin 300XL, Cipralex 25mg. Cipralex only got me out of suicidal thoughts, but Wellbutrin healed my brain. When my psychiatrist first prescribed it to me, I couldn't afford it so I didn't fill my prescription. When she found out, she gave me some samples. Within a week I got motivation. I had forgotten how it felt to want to do things. My thoughts were more cheerful. I was able to laugh and joke. My PTSD paranoia went down. I began walking, quit smoking, went back to work, traveled, and met the love of my life. It made Me me again! I'm still taking it and will for as long as my brain needs it."


"I had high hopes for this medicines. I was suicidal and eventually broke down and told my psychologist. For the recovery process, I had my heart set on the combination of Effexor (venlafaxine) and Seroquel (quietapine) as I know these both work effectively in my system. Now wasn't the time to play about with a new medication but of course the psychiatrist knows best... am I right? Well, 7 days in and it's completely wiped out my cognition. I'm normally a good driver and for several years I've had no real issues, but within half an hour of driving today I nearly caused two accidents. I am so annoyed with the psychiatrist... they think they know everything but know so little about the medication they prescribe."


"I have been on this pill twice now. The first time I was in it I used it for 6 months and my doctor decided to take me off of it for some time because I began having breakthrough bleeding and periods as long as if not longer than before I was on the pill and just as painful. After some time on anther pill my doctor reccomended that I go back on it and see how things went the second time around. I have been on it for 6 more months and nothing has changed since the last time. The first few periods were fine and like normal without the pill but again I began to bleed randomly and the pain became worse as well as my normal periods lengthening and becoming heavier."


"Linzess 145mcg gave me explosive diarrhea for hours.  I thought I must have eaten something bad so I waited a day and took Linzess again and about 2 1/2 hours later it happened again and lasted 5 hours.  Obviously not for me.  I strongly suggest you're at home the first time you take this just in case."


"i had this in under duress whilst having camera n biopsy..within 24hours i had headaches felt hot and flushed...over 4 days i felt really bloated and down...haf it took out after 6 days and instantly felt better"


"It didnt seem to help me"


"So far I have found this drug great. I've taken many anti depressants since I was 16 ( now 33) and just was diagnosed with bipolar. Feeling much more energy at times I don't know what to do so I workout"


"I am on 30 mg of Abilify plus Trazodone and Wellbutrin and have to say this combination seems to be what works best for me. I don't feel drugged up but able to function day to day at work and with my family. I experience no side effects with Abilify except possibly some hair loss (but it looks like most if not all those type of drugs do that). Other than that I am grateful this helps."


"I had Mirena put in in January of 2015 and I have an appointment to get it taken out next week. I'm really upset that this didn't work for me. I have always used the pill but after a while I decided to try something new. The insertion was pretty simple and it didn't hurt that much. The cramping was very mild. After a few months I still felt really crampy but I held out hope that it would subside. It never did. I'm a fairly active person; going to the gym at least 4 times per week and I still managed to gain 35 pounds since the insertion. I also would get crippling migraines, mood swings that lead to serious bouts of depression, my sex drive is pretty much nonexistent. Mirena has been extremely effective the side effects were just too much."


"I have moderate to severe pain from a reaction to a medication. I wear a 100 & a 25 Fentanyl patch. After trying several places I found the patches stay best on my derri"


"I have been on Lexapro for almost 5 months now and I am doing great. It has really helped a lot. I don't have the negative thoughts like I did and I can actually have positive thoughts. The only downside that I see is the drowsiness. But I am super sensitive when it comes to medicines that "can cause drowsiness". I can function but I go around yawning a lot. That is getting better though. I have tried taking it before bed to see if that would help."


"Went to the doctor yesterday afternoon and was diagnosed with the flu (after 24 hours of symptoms).  I woke up today tired, with an 80% improvement in body aches and almost no fever.  Congestion is still an issue but not the epic disaster I experienced with the flu years ago.  The only side-effect I experienced was increased frequency of bowel movements.  In all, I would say this medication is pretty good.  Feels like the manufacturer got this one right!"


"I took adipex first week of Feb 2015 wasn't really tracking the dates of how long it took for my weight to drop but it was super quick. My starting  weighed was 220 by March I was 189 and as of today October 15 2015 I weight 167. I'm so happy but now I want an flat stomach so thats my next step. pants size was 16 now I can fit 9/10 11/12 so my goal is to have a flat stomach"


"I love the Implanon. I did have irregular bleeding the first 6 months but after that it's been normal. Once a month. I've had it for 2 years now. No problems, no weight gain. I've had mood swings but I don't blame this, I'm already bipolar anyways. I forget the pills and this was the best option for me. Would recommend this to anyone."


"Valium worked wonders for me when I realized that my anxiety had been making me a shut-in with a low quality of life. Aside from developing an insatiable appetite at first, it seemed like a miracle. Example: I took a Valium before flying and could not find my luggage in baggage claim. Previously, I would have been shaking, crying and sweating. Instead, I confidently walked over to customer service and learned that my bag will come when the next flight arrives. Self-inflicted meltdown averted.

It's long half-life, however, can be a blessing and bad. It lasts practically all day, but that also means it makes me a bit drowsy and lazy all day as well."


"I have been on Latuda 80mg for 10 months now and can honestly say that it has changed my life. The first few weeks of adjusting to the medication was awful - I couldn't work and the nausea and headaches were out of this world. However now I feel as feel as good as new. It has stopped my hallucinations and has kept me balanced. It does make me very sedate after taking it so I only take it right before bedtime."


"My 9 yr old son who has ADHD and ODD has been on Focalin XR for roughly 5 months now after going through 3 other different medicines for his ADHD that produced a lot of side effects. He dropped down to 42 lbs. VERY SCARY, and he would refuse to eat, period. He also takes 1 mg of Risperdal at night.
He has a very high tolerance and is given 40 mg of Focalin XR daily. This is the only drug I have found that does not affect his appetite. He eats non stop when he gets home from school until he goes to bed at night. It has calmed him down  but it seems to wear off after 6 hours. Other than that, this medication is GREAT and I will continue to give it to my son."


"Tried 3 times with 40 mcg dose, once in doctor office. Absolutely NO results, but really big pain and discomfort. Have lower back pain, testicular pain, injection site pain and overall serious discomfort.
Have to take oral pain medication to relieve the seriousness of the pain, and will not use this.
Will re-visit my urologist again and let him know the torture this is causing, and I have a very high pain threshold.
"


"I'm a 46 y.o. female and have been taking Vyvanse for approximately 3 months. I started out on 50mg in the morning and it worked great by giving me energy and completing projects. However, I would get tired after 8 hours. After 1 month of taking 50mg x1 a day my doctor switched me to 30mg twice daily to prevent that tired feeling after 8 hours. After 2 months of taking 30mg x2 a day I'm tired a lot and seemed to have already built up a resistance to it. Maybe I just need to increase the dose, not sure. This medicine worked great at first for ADHD and I'm hoping I can increase the dose and feel energetic and focused again. The side effects I have experienced are, weight loss (13lbs) the first month but gained 8 lbs back, and have bad breath."


"My doctor put me on the 24s twice a day with meal. Despite always taking it correctly, it always gives me unbearable nausea and occasionally diarrhea. For me personally the side effects make this medication very unbearable. However, I gave it a decent rating because it certainly gets things moving along. The first day I took it I passed stool 5 times which seemed excessive. Overall, it's up to you to decide if you feel better or worse after taking it."


"I have several issues on my L spine it's hard to deal with the pain from day today and Lyrica has helped me get through some of the pain but not all of it. One day I'll be able to be pain-free if the surgery helps me I'm up to 200 mg of the Lyrica  two times a day.  My doctor says that if I do have surgery he will not let me return to my job my job consists of working 12 hours shifts on my feet all of the 12 hours I make bread bags for a company and it's a very difficult job but also helps me relieve my mind from the pain.  I'll be going to my surgeon  to get my neck surgery times two to see my L spine MRIs to see what he thinks I do not want to have the surgery I would like to wait until I retire.  I have   Sciatica in both legs and Lyrica his help to me somewhat does anybody else go through this pain"


"I have horrible pain in my neck from car accident injury. I have not had anything the works like Flector Patches. I tried anti-inflammatory pills but barely noticed any help from them. I tried Lidocaine Pain Patches and it didn't touch the pain at all I suppose because the wound in my neck is too deep for the lidocaine to get to...but the Flector Patches are my "wonder" patch!! They are amazing and I just simply could not survive a day without them.

They are crazy expensive and I have to fight tooth and nail to keep them but they are worth the fight!!"


"the only manufacturer of this is not currently shipping the drug although their customer service says they will at some unspecified date.  All customers should contact them, and ask them to prioritize putting this prescription back in the supply chain so those of us who rely on it can leave the house without fear of an "accident"."


"I am 62 and this was my 6th colonoscopy. I have to say this was the best prep so far. I had this done at 7 this morning. I took the prep at 4 pm yesterday and by 5 I was finished the 1st round. No cramping, no nausea. I paid attention to not eating raw fruits, vegetables and nuts 3 days prior.  At 9 pm I did the 2nd round. I was in bed by 11 and woke up once in the middle of the night one time .  The taste isn't great I found the cold water and a little lemon helped. It's a little pricey but worth it. Ask the Dr for a coupon. By the way I had nothing to eat all day yesterday and I think that worked for the better."


"Made me sooooo tired, but still also was able to make my anxiety spike, but worse by far is I LOST 80% OF MY ONCE BEAUTIFUL HAIR!"


"I had really bad breakouts going into college. I took Solodyn paired with a topical called Ziana. I was really skeptical because I didn't notice any changes in the first 4-6 week trial period, but it really helped me clear up after about 3 months. I'm mostly left with blemishes now which have not really improved since my breakouts stopped. I've been on Solodyn for six months now, but I think I'm going to stop because my acne feels controlled."


"I have been on qsymia since 12/2015 and it has been 6 months now. I have polysystic ovarian syndrome and have tried pretty much everything to lose weight without success for the last 7 years. My doctor recommended this medication and it has been the only thing to ever help. Even with it I still lost slowly, at a little over 4 lbs a month 25 lb total but it has changed my life. I no longer count every calorie or carb that goes in my mouth or have to work out for 2 hours a day. I eat everything in moderation and don't really think about food. I really loved this medication, until I noticed a lot of hair falling out and starting researching online. I've lost about 1/3 of my hair&now have to stop qsymia only 20lbs from my goal. So be careful!"


"It truly works great! I am so happy that my doctor prescribed it for me for my insomnia."


"Meloxicam worked great for my knees for about 4 years. As my arthritis worsened, it didn't work as well. About 3 months ago, I was getting no relief from it. I think it's a good medication for milder pain levels. I experienced no side effects."


"Very effective at eliminating allergies, but will keep you awake all night long.  I took the 24 hour one in the early morning 7:30 am and laid in bed for 5 hours before I could fall asleep."


"I got switched to this because I get auras with my migraines.  It gave me menstrual migraines, and periods every other week. My periods were heavier, longer and a lot more painful.  I don't really have PMS, but on this drug, I get mood swings, painful constipation, acne and a sore genital tract.  The menstrual migraines went away after three months, the first month the period pain went away.

Over the course of 18 months, my vaginal discharge disappeared.  It made sex so painful that it's impossible.  It also cause stress incontinence.  I've been off it for six months and the lack of discharge still a problem because I'm apparently not allowed to have any type of estrogen."


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


"I've been on Sertraline for 5 months now I started out at 50mg and it seemed to be ok my anxiety attacks were becoming far less and I was a lot happier then about 3 months later I found I was having panic attacks again and now for the last month I've been on 100mg my mood is so bad it's affecting my relationship and I always just feel down and worthless I'm going back to the doctor soon to hopefully sort it out"


"I have had positive experience with Miralax, but I'm not supposed to use that long term. I tried Linzess for 2 weeks. I wound up with constipation, hemorrhoids, blood, and pain. Not fun! I'm back with what works for me. Linzess was a waste of my time. I'm now gun shy to try anything else."


"I had to take it out after only 3 days. Just the following morning after insertion it gave me a 5-minute long painful muscle spasm in the back. The pain wouldn't go away even after a few days, and it spread further down my back. I can see how it can be useful for some, but it's not for me."


"I am Bipolar II and cycle on hypo-manic to manic. I am on 250mg x 2 night and 1 x morning.  I was placed on 200mg x 2 Lamictal and reduced my seroquel to 75mg at the night. It seems I have been able to focus more and be motivated and lost 45lbs in the process that I had built up over 3 years. I place this down to sugar cravings from my morning dose. No major side effects in me."


"I take this medicine for urinary tract infections during pregnancy.  I am on it now again for the third time.  Take twice a day for seven days.  The side effect I get comes right after the first pill.  I get flu like symptoms: sore joints, chills, sleepiness and extreme weakness.  However, no fever.  Took one Tylenol and sweated it out while sleeping woke up better.  But, this medicine works really well after the first dosage."


"I've been taking aviane for about a year. Cleared up my acne within a month or two; I don't get any cystic acne anymore. It's a relief. I don't get any side effects and it definitely evens out my mood."


"Well I started taking Claravis on August 2008. I noticed for the first two months of being on the medication my face got worse with acne. But on the third month, my face started to clear up and it stayed clear. For once I had normal skin. Scars were the only thing left. I finished my treatment on Janurary 2009. I spent almost all year being acne free, but it has comeback! My brother also took Claravis, and his story is the same as mine. My brother has currently just got back on to Claravis. I will be doing the same, and hoping we wont have acne again because it's really expensive to get on that medication.

Side Effects: Extreme Dry Lips. And that was it.

My advice, take Claravis its worth it, even if its just a year of being acne free."


"Had this for 1 week now. Experienced some bruising and discomfort at the incision site, but that has now settled. No further problems except a slight breakout of acne but I have bad skin anyway. Have not used this as birth control yet, as I was advised by the nurse to wait 7 days before I used it, so yet to review that."


"I had been so horribly backed up that I coild feel the skin on my stomach stretching. I tried taking herbal colon cleanse pills in hopes that it would help, but after 4 days of zero bowel movements I decided to turn to Magnesium Citrate. I took 10oz first thing in the morning on an empty stomach followed by a liter of water. 30 minutes later it kicked in. For about an hour and a half I also had nausea and stomach cramps. Once things started moving more it went away.  Like another reviewer said, this will make you pee out of your butt. If you are looking to be cleaned out and immediate constipation relief, I highly recommend this product."


"Took away hot flashes, but drowsy during the day. I just started this medicine 5 days ago. I hope that side effect leaves, it's like walking in a fog."


"It is very good no side effects. I've been on Depo and Mirena both of which I do not recommend but Lessina no acne, nothing. You might get moody and as long you work out you won't gain or take the pills early mornings."


"I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in 3rd grade and went through just about every medication. I have anxiety and some medications really made it worse. Now 18 and in college and I've been on adderal 20mg extended release for 3 years and every once in a while I take a "tolerance break" taking a break from it really does help when you go back to us using it. Take it early in the day or else you will most likely be awake until late hours of the night"


"I talked to my doctor about Belviq and got a prescription last week. So far I have lost 4 pounds and feel great. It's like I am suddenly motivated to lose weight. I think as the weight comes off exercising will become easier. I am tolerating the medication without side effects. I noticed no appetite for food and a boost in energy without the nervousness I felt with some of the over the counter products I used to take. I have told my friends and family about Belviq."


"I've had periods of insomnia for most of my life, they worsen when I am anxious/depressed. I started to take this about four months ago and I have been very happy with the results. I take it at night, about 1.5 hours before I want to sleep, sometimes two hours depending on how much coffee I have had during the day or how anxious I am feeling. This medication does not 'zonk' me out like most sleeping pills (it is not a sleeping pill), but my doctor thought it would work well for me without the side effects. I really never have any side effects unless I take the med too late, and then I find it a bit hard to get out of bed). I think it helps with my anxiety too, maybe that is because I am sleeping better. I take cipralex during too."


"Had the worst sinus infection of my life and couldn't sleep for 2 days. my sinuses felt like concrete. After 2 days on Augmentin I finally felt relief. It took 7 days to completely get rid of the infection. No side effects, maybe because I'm 6 ft 7 and weigh 260 lbs and had more body mass."


"Valium has been a lifesaver for me, I probably wouldn't be here without it. I suffer from severe anxiety, panic disorder and clinical depression. This has got me through some very bad times when I thought I was dying and couldn't cope. I take 10mg during bad spells and it gets me through."


"Sooooooo sick that's my main issue with this medicine I throw up daily, and I'm constipated. I've lost 12 pounds in less than 2 weeks. Started at 286 now 274 in 1.5 weeks. No diet or exercise happening. I sleep nonstop, have no energy, I'm always thirsty and dehydrated.  Plus side I'm never hungry, and I lost weight quickly.  I don't know if I'll be able to continue if the side effects are unyielding."


"Had IUD inserted on 2/14 while on my period and it hurt a ton. Period immediately disappeared, to extremely light spotting and then left all together after having it only 2 days (usually 5). I do not feel the IUD at all and I really like it. However, I have noticed that my skin is acting up and that was never an issue for me (used ACV and got it under control). Also, I just got what was supposed to be my period, but only spotted for 10 days, no regular period ever came. Not sure how I feel about the 10 days but my periods before were TERRIBLE so I'm happy that's gone. I had tried the depo shot, 3 different pills and the pullout method prior to this and this is by far the best one. Take ibuprofen before insertion and you'll be ok."


"Been taking this pill for 7 months and no change in blood sugar tests."


"I have been on Savella for 5 weeks now. I could feel a difference almost immediately, especially with sleep and getting up in the morning. Not pain free, but a difference with minimal side effects. Mostly body temperature changes like hot flashes. I worked my way up to 100 mg (50mg morning and evening.) Then I started having worse side effects: nausea, leg cramps, vision changes. I also had mouth and tongue soreness and breast soreness, which I didn't see anyone else mention. I went back to 50mg once a day and the symptoms lessened. After seeing my Dr again, he suggested 25mg morning and eve ning. My breast soreness is better and my mouth sores fewer. I plan to stick it out a little longer to see, as I have not felt or slept this well in years."


"I have been taking  Truvuda and Edurant combination for the past two years, no side effects at all and my viral load is 20, CD4 good too. And living in Thailand the medication is so cheap."


"its awesome"


"I was depressed for seven months in bed and I was prescribed Viibryd 40mg. After 1 week I started to feel fantastic for at least 3 weeks and now I'm feeling like I'm on the roller coaster again (slightly down).  And to top it off I've gained at least 10 lbs. Made me very outspoken about almost everything (something I did like after any situation). I'm going to try it for couple more weeks and I hope things change. Also I'm not a person that has to have sweets, but on this medicine I began to eat sweets instead of wanting my regular meals.  Still hopeful."


"I got Nexplanon on Jan. 8 2015 and at first I thought it was great. Didn't have a period the first month, next month bleed for two weeks no cramps or anything. When March came, my period came on and lasted longer than usual so I thought OK maybe its changing because the symptoms are irregular. Well its May 8 and my period has been on non-stop! My body aches, muscles hurt everywhere, acne is a little more than before, cravings are crazy, but I have no weight gain or weight loss thank the lord! But Nexplanon acts different in anyone who gets it. I do consider getting it though if you forget to take your pills and if your sexually active."


"Helped with my postpartum depression, was on it for 3 years then diagnosed with stage IV non Hodgkin's lymphoma."


"I was having redness and itching due to allergies and I used the visine totality. It made my eyes burn and I couldn't see for 10 minutes. It amplified the symptoms I was already having. I'm scared to use this product because it's painful and I wasn't expecting it to burn."


"Been on Tyvaso for 3 years. It has improved my PH significantly  10 to 12 puffs a sitting.  Always made me cough but recently the cough has gotten worse. Not going to stop just take fewer puffs"


"The only reason I gave this birth control a 2 was because it made my periods last two days and my acne wasn't as bad. That's the only good thing I have to say about it. It has my anxiety come back, severe nausea, bad acid reflux, migraines, mood swings, insomnia, depression at times, and extremely tender breasts. It's hard to go off someone else's experiences cause everyone is different. "


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency

"My lifestyle has been very hectic since having my third child 10 months ago. I have tried several tonics on the market but never got the results they suggested they would give. I always felt tired, fatigues, inability to concentrate, always grumpy, the whole 9 yards.
I started taking SSS tonic 5 days ago and I can say I am back, and I am feeling great. My husband and two older kids have even noticed a change in my disposition."


"I'm 67 and have been using Cialis for five years. Started with 10mg dose with no response, moved up to 20mg dose and WOW!!!  It takes me about two hours to start feeling the effects and works best after four hours. Erections are hard as a rock I use the 5mg daily now due to cost and insurance not covering it. It's $9 for one 5mg pill. $275 for 30. Thinking of going to Mexico to get it cheaper. The wife and I have sex almost everyday and sometimes twice a day."


"This medication does keep my hypertension under control and also seems to effect my heart rate by lowering it by an average of 15--20 bpm. I  take other medications that tend to raise my heart rate, so this medication is useful for me, in that regard. I have found that this medication is very sensitive to dosing propery. I have found that if I miss only a couple of doses, my blood pressure and heart rate start to increase."


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


"When I was 18 the first time I saw a gyno she prescribed me Tri Lo Sprintec. She gave me a packet of Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo which I think the pharmacist said it was basically the same thing. For both I had no problem. To start off, I never really had bad cramps or anything major and I definitely didn't feel anything after starting birth control. After the price for Tri Lo-Sprintec went up I got off of it. I am about to go on Tri sprintec which my doctor said it's just a little higher dosage so that's probably where all those other symptoms come from (nausea, mood swings, acne, weight gain). As for everyone else who has been experiencing these symptoms, they are also very common when you PMS, except for the nausea but mainly I think it's psychological."


"I have been smoke free for seven years this January after smoking for well more than half of my life. It seemed quite easy for me, and hopefully for you as well. Only advice I would offer while on this is be sure to eat BEFORE taking your dose. I got very sick on an empty stomach. Hope this helps and good luck to everyone."


"At first this medicine seemed great. Was taking it for depression and generalized anxiety disorder. After a week on the lowest dose I started having bad side effects.
I was shaving one morning and noticed my face, lips and arm felt numb. Doctor reduced my dosage to 10mg that worked okay for a week then same side effects."


"This medicine has given me horrible headaches. Lost a lot of hair gained weight  insomnia."


"I recently had hip surgery and was in lots of pain after the operation. I tried Ibuprofen and  Voltaren with little relief. My doctor called in a script for Feldene 20 mg twice a day for me. It helped so much with the pain bringing it to a manageable level but caused the most severe constipation. So after about 5 days I switched back to Voltaren and the constipation eased up and thankfully the pain was better too."


"My 8 year old son has been on Daytrana for approximately 6 months and I have to say of all the ADHD medicines out there this is the best. We have tried almost every ADHD medicine out there and nothing lasted as long as it was supposed to or had no effect whatsoever. The only problem with the patch is its sticking. It never seems to stick and in the summer I had to find something waterproof to put over it."


"Began taking Tegretol in 1986 along with Epilim, had the op in 1991 and have remained on Tegretol since. Somethings I have noticed over the years although I don't have any medical evidence to back this up only self observation are. Massive increase in body hair. Not on the head but over the rest of the body. Most of my nails split down the centre of the nail. As for controlling my epilepsy can not say they really did, prior to my operation, at first all was hokey dorey, then the body seemed to get used the medication and as a result the dose increased. Today 24 years after the operation I remain on 1200mg a day. Seizure free, thanks to the opp, although i do remain on the tablets."


"Just not strong enough, Klonopin or Xanax or really any other benzodiazepines, works better."


"It burns at the beginning but within a few minutes stops the pain associated with severe psoriasis. It numbs the affected area for relief."


"Started with .6 about 6 months ago. Nausea, dizziness,  heartburn and loss of appetite. Not pleasant .

Blood sugars did not seem to improve - questioned if stress due to symptoms was counteracting each other. (Stress raises glucose).

Decided to give the drug it's best shot so after two week increased the dosing to maximum. (1.8).

Slowly symptoms subsided and post meal glucose came down. Down substantially.

Fasting still remains around 130 to 140 but that also is improved. Post meal about 140 if I eat a proper diet.

While I would have preferred a greater reduction in numbers the drug is beneficial. Side effects are now all gone.

I'm 64."


"I experienced my very first Anxiety attack three months ago, stemming from stress from work and eventually from fear of dying (provoked by the symptoms of the attacks). I began to fear nights, because they occurred at night, preventing me from properly sleep. I went two months without seeking medical help, until I did. I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. They prescribed me BuSpar/Busporine; I've been on it for a little over a month now (7.5m.g. twice a day) and OH MY GOSH, it saved my life. I haven't had an anxiety attack since the first day I began taking it! The first week, the only side effects I got were feeling groggy in the morning, but at night when you take it they do help you immensely to fall asleep."


"Stopped my periods all together.  It is nice, but my doctor didn't mention it when she prescribed it.  Was a little stressful the first month when you skip your period and no one has an explanation.  Turns out it is a side effect."


"I got on Prozac 10 mg when I was sixteen after I tried to commit suicide. It worked wonders just within a week or so. I sat in my backyard in my bikini, wore tanning oil in the blazing sun, and painted clothes pins for my mom. I felt EXTREMELY lifted from my old self. I was HAPPY. I stopped taking it a few weeks later because I thought I was cured from my depression... stupid of me. I am now 22 and I have recently started taking Prozac 10 again. I am not really sure if I feel the effect yet but I do notice myself zoning out every once in a while. I hope I will feel wonderful again like the 16 year old I once was."


"Concerta helped me so much. Before Concerta, I dreaded doing school work or even regular household chores. While on it, I want to do my homework and chores. It makes me 200x more focused overall, which means more learning and better grades. I went from C's and F's to A's and some B's"


"I've been taking 300mg Wellbutrin for 6 months. I haven't noticed any side effects to Wellbutrin, so that's good, but the problem is I also haven't noticed much effect at all. I did notice that I don't hit my total low point almost ever now, but besides knocking out my worst feeling of depression, it hasn't done much. I still spend most of my time incredibly sad, I still feel so awful about myself that I have immense difficulty socializing and I still feel like anxiety is eating away at me. But I guess even if I'm not happy, as long as I'm not at my lowest point I'll be fine."


"A new study about genital herpes transmission has recently been published. We are not quite sure whether it can help find a cure for herpes but it does show some interesting perspective.
Bacteria in Vagina Can Affect Genital Herpes Transmission
The study suggests that healthy vaginal microflora may protect women from getting infected with genital herpes. The study has been led by  a doctoral student at the University of Texas Medical
The experiment that was carried out in the laboratory compared various cultures that normally live in the vagina. Researchers found that the herpes simplex virus type-2 (genital herpes) replicated more in cultures that contained less Lactobacillus (were less healthy).
"


"Took plan B, no side effects. This is my second time taking it in the course of two years. The first time I took it although I felt Nauseous and dizzy."


"I started using Nuvaring back in 2010 after trying many different birth control pills. I gained around 7 pounds, wanted to sleep all the time and lost completely my sex drive. I had to stop using because the last 6 months I started experiencing severe migraines. So, the only good part about is that Nuvaring didn't make me feel angry or in a bad mood all the time like the other pills I've tried before."


"February 7, 2014 my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex. We were very worried. I decided to get Plan B from Walgreens 7 hours after sex and 3 days later I got my period."


"Have had 12 treatments so far for MS. Have experienced sometimes extreme tiredness following treatments. Have gained about 40lbs in the past year since starting the treatment with no significant changes in diet or exercise. On the good side am glad to not be taking daily injections anymore."


"I'm on Effexor 150mg. I was on 75mg but my doctor upped it as I was still not feeling good. Feel better now but don't advise coming off yourself as the coming down effects of it aren't good."


"My MD first put me on a testosterone gel for lack of desire, difficulty in maintaining and erection, etc. with minimal benefit.  Then, he replaced this with Cialis 5mg taken daily.  WOW!  At 70, I am having sex like 40 again which is 2 or 3 times a week and really good.  I'm not sure if it is all physical or partly that my confidence and expectations have been restored.  "


"While this medication cured my UTI it left me with debilitating c-diff. Horrible situation. Beware and ask questions. Maybe another medication had fewer risks. I don't know...but I will certainly be asking more questions if I am ever prescribed anything again."


"This pill was miracle one for me.  I helps me so much with the retained fluid in my body."


"I have been taking 1 1/2 mg every other night for sleep for the past 3 years. I have tried my other drugs for sleep and ativan is the only one that works consistently.
Because of its addiction potential I take it only every other night.
Also I have not had to increase the dosage in 3 years, which I believe is a result of not taking it every night.
It is easier to tolerate my non-Ativan night of insomnia when I know I will be sleeping well the next night."


"I started on Qsymia half a year ago, lost 28 lbs so far.  Overall been very pleased with the weight drop. Not much side effect. I have tried so many other things, this one is actually the most effective method I have ever had.

I did notice tingling at my fingers a couple of times but was not bothering much. Oh, one thing the Coke I drink tasted weird after taking the medication."


"The first 3 months of Yasmin were horrendous, I had cystic spots all along my jaw, between my eyebrows, on my cheeks and even my back.  My skin was very dry and I could not stop needing a pee! The cysts stopped appearing In the 3rd month but continued to have lots of spots on my jawline. Im currently on month 6, I still get spots (sigh) but I haven't had more than 3 at one time and they are very small ones which heal quickly and are easily covered with make up. I no longer have spots on my back either but I'm living with quite bad scarring. I really had my confidence knocked but looking at how my skin has improved now those 3 months in hiding were worth it!"


"Woke up in pain with stone Friday.  Ask my Dr. to prescribe Flomax and took my first dose at noon on Saturday.  Pass the stone this morning (Sun.).  I experienced a stuffy nose and felt light headed, but it was well worth it.  One Capsule did the trick."


"I have been on this for 3 months now and have noticed a massive improvement of my acne. The acne on my back is practically non existent and the amount on my face has dramatically improved. I got lots of comments today saying how face has cleared up since I last saw these people 2 weeks ago. I now have much less acne on my face and it expected to all be gone in 3 more months forever. I am currently on 60mg a day one at morning and 2 at night and I am a 15 year old female. I have had some back pain when I play my weekly sport and dry lips but that is all the side effects I have had."


"So far I've had a decent experience with mirena. I had it inserted during my period (on the 2ND day) that was a weird experience. Insertion was a breeze, no discomfort. I was nervous after reading all of the reviews.  Less than 1 minute  and it was over. I threw on my clothes and i countined on with my day like normal. I'm sure i should've waited to habe sex but i didnt. On the 3rd day i had some cramping, since then no cramping. Ive never really had much crampong so i went into a little bit of a panic mode And was beginning to doubt my decision. Bybthe next day the cramping was gone. Mild spotting.  I feel like my sex drive has increased.  I am worried about the weight gain but I plan on staying active and keep a close eye on"


"Doctor prescribed Macrobid for a week for urinary tract infection. It did give me some relief initially however my infection is back. I'm scheduled to see my Dr tomorrow."


"I got Nexplanon 08/04/15 & I really like it.

I was on the Depo-shot for about 7 years. I did not get any periods, I did gain weight ( but really I think  that it was a lack of  exercise ) but the fact that I had to go in every 3 months was annoying.

Than I found out about Nexplanon, did some research and I wanted to try it. I told my doctor I wanted to change my birth control. He went over it. The process was really fast less than 10mins ( including wait time ) - shout out to planned parenthood.

So far no period ( I love it ) it's for sure less  hormones but the fact that I don't got it renew it every 3 months is amazing

I think you should try it. Every body is different but you won't know how it works on you until you try it."


"My diabetes was out of control (300's), my Dr. put me on Victoza and I have never had such good readings. I have lost 5 pounds. The medicine sort of makes me feel full or a little nausea, but nothing bad at all. I'm so happy with it and so excited with the results. Thanks Victoza"


"I am very very very pleased with the Implanon! I did the research before getting mine and decided that (after all everything-including oral contraceptives-have risks) it was worth it to me. I got my Implanon in September of 2009.  Insertion did hurt, they use local anesthetic (lidocaine) to numb the area first and that's all that hurt. I didn't actually feel the insertion at all.  I had an irregular bleeding cycle for about a month and a half, and since then I have had NOTHING! It is now July of 2010 and I am very pleased with the results. I don't have to worry about keeping up with a daily or monthly option, don't have a period, and I am NOT pregnant (which is after all the whole point). I tell anyone who will listen how great the Implanon is!"


"Accutane is working wonders for me. I am an 18 year old male who was skeptical at first because I had literally tried everything to clear up my cystic acne I had on my back and chest. I am now 1 month into my 5 month course and am already seeing a huge improvement. Other then the dry lips, I have no other side effects. Some people say accutane makes them depressed and suicidal, but accutane has actually made me more happy and more energetic then I was. I feel so much more confident about my skin now then I ever have. It's summer, and now I am never wearing a shirt because accutane has made me more confident. Strongly recommend this drug, as it has worked wonders for me so far."


"Girls! I am here to share my experience to ease some of you out of freaking out! I have severe anxiety and panic disorder so imagine what a mess I was thinking I was pregnant - I did not get pregnant!
Here we go: I am a 20 year old girl who would've been paralyzed if she found out she was pregnant. I would've had to get an abortion, which is not what I want, but neither is having a kid right now. Long story short: had unprotected sex, got scared. Took plan B 16 hours later. I was mortified with the waiting. I ended up getting my period 5 days late (I was expecting weeks late) but it is here (and heavy). Girls, you will be okay. I promise you this works. I've used it about 5 times now (within 5 years). It works! Just try to keep calm. "


"I was diagnosed with MS 2006. I found myself with a loss of balance. I fell so much at my work I gave my co workers at the gym score card as to how I fell. I have a sense of humor which helps me get through this new found life. My dr told me about ampyra after I started taking this drug my falls decreased. We haven't had to score any of my falls in over a year."


"Got the implant August 2014. Period took around 5 months to become at a regular pace. It's now November 2015 and I get my period once every 2 months and get mood swings a few days before it. Soon looking to take it out but I'm trying to hold off doing that until the 3 years are up."


"Almost halfway through my second week I had to stop taking Contrave because it jacked up my blood pressure. BP probably would've been a lot higher than the 156/93 had I not been talking blood pressure medication already."


"I'm not necessarily the best person to give a review on this, because I have CONSTANT yeast infections ALL THE TIME. It's torture. Whenever I go to the doctor I get my diflucin pill, Monistat cream, and I usually still have issues. I'm yet to find a solution.

However, I did try this pill out and it's pretty great! If you have any swelling down there, this gets rid of it overnight. As for the actual yeast, mine hasn't completely cleared up but it's getting a lot better. I think this could possibly get rid of it if I keep using it consistently. I'm only on day 3 of this and I've seen a significant difference and feel much better.

I recommend this to people who want to get rid of any swelling and need an alternative to the actual doctor."


"Chronic hives for 1 year - took all the antihistimines and prednisone.  The only thing that kicked the hives was prednosolone pack that I recently took after the Xolair shot did not work.  I have had 8 Xolair shots (monthly injections) and at first they were very effective.  After the 6th one, I had recurring hives and angiodema return so I am back on large dose of allertec and nightly taking hydroxyzine.   Xolair seems to help with the size of hives and the amount when breaking out.  Weight gain is definitely noticed but due to prednisone prior to the shot, I can't be certain it is all due to Xolair.  Will continue on Xolair and perhaps look at Kenalog shot."


"Extremely fatigued. Used is directed during week 7 and getting out of bed was a struggle. Slept all day and went to bed early...6-7pm early. This is my first pregnancy so I thought it's probably 1st trimester fatigue. Stopped using the next day and decided to "stick it out" without diclegis. I'm 17 weeks today and had really bad nausea vomiting every 30 mins this am and thought, ok let me give this medicine another shot, I'm desperate... Same deal, nausea/vomiting is gone... because I'm tranquilized! It works but I may be too sensitive for it's drowsiness effects. Not for me"


"After 3 day taken a tablet by mouth every 12 hours for 10 days.  The infection and the pain in my ear get better, but the side effects like a Diarrhea and tiredness, dizziness, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, disorientation and irritability made the 10 days a challenge."


"Xanax is a great medicine that has been under a lot of flack recently because of irresponsible individuals who give it a bad name. I have been taking it for over two years now in an on/off fashion and sometimes for a few months at a time; however, I always take a few days every week to flush it out. My anxiety issues stem from a traumatic childhood making me miss out on a lot of GREAT opportunities throughout life, opportunities that Xanax is helping me take advantage of today. I am a very active male, I run and lift regularly and what I noticed about Xanax from the get go is that I had an extremely high tolerance to it.  I take 1.5mg of Xanax and .1mg of Clonidine due to this fact - WARNING -clonidine has bad side effects when stopped cold"


"I'm appreciative of an option other  Restasis. However, the bitter taste, chronic headache, tightness in chest and cough are very frustrating. It's almost like I have asthma. Would love thoughts on this. I'm now having to use cough medicine to go to sleep."


"I have general anxiety disorder. I see a therapist weekly. She said I suffer from anxiety and depression. I lost my best friend in Jan and it triggered my anxiety and depression.  I'm a stay a home mom of 2 kids. Daily activities became a hassle and I stress and worry so much now. This past week I've noticed a change for the better but I felt I was still battling it. I had bad tension headaches and went to my Dr and he gave me 25 mg to take for a month. I took one almost 2 1/2 hours ago. I started yawning and became tired. I'm laying in bed now and feel awake. So far it seems to be working. I feel calm and not stressed. I'm hoping it works like it has for everyone else."


"I've on this medication for a full week and I haven't had any results yet. I'm drinking lots of water as I always do, and staying active."


"I have been using Tri-Nessa for three months and it has been pretty good.  My doctor put it on me to balance my hormones and control my acne.  As for my acne, my skin was clearing up in the first two months and then steadily got worse again. Although my periods on Tri-Nessa have been extremely regular (which was not the case for me before) and I have had no negative side-effects."


"I'm writing to hopefully calm some nerves. 2 days after I ended my period, I had protected sex with my partner. While we were careful (he did not ejaculate inside me), we noticed the condom broke. I became frantic and decided to take emergency contraception (Take Action) just to be sure. I took the pill approximately 18 hours after sex. Within the first few days, I had the normal symptoms: spotting, nausea, etc. Within the next few weeks, I began to experience all the symptoms of pregnancy! Mood swings, frequent urinination, breast tenderness and extreme vaginal wetness! I was freaking out! There was absolutely NO sign of my period. I took 3 pregnancy tests, all negative. My period ended up being 6 weeks late. It was unnerving!"
