"Developed essential stage 1 hypertension of 150-160/90-100 at age 57. Tried Lisinopril 10mg which is the gold standard in the ACE Inhibitor class but immediately developed a gagging cough and had to stop. Next logical step was to try an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker (ARB) so switched to Telmisartan 20mg but dosage was ineffective. Upped it to 40mg and BP now averages 130/85 which is acceptable for my age. I have a medical background and have read all studies published in refereed professional journals of which there are numerous blind and controlled. Still, always be vigilant for side effects from any long term drug as they can occur without warning at any time. When it comes to essential hypertension, this is as good as it gets!"


"I've been on Junel FE for about a year now without any problems. My doctor recommended this brand for my extremely painful cramps I'd get at the beginning of every cycle, which would often lead me to throw up from the pain. Upon first starting it, I immediately noticed a positive change. My period lasts about 4 days now (as opposed to 7 days) with very light bleeding and hardly any cramps. Also, even though I've read bad reviews of this birth control due to anxiety and depression-related side effects, I've never experienced any, and I've been diagnosed with both (previous to being on this brand of birth control). Junel FE is a great product."


"I have been on Straterra for about two months.  It certainly has a subtle affect that creeps up on you. It is not a stimulant so does not have that quick hit affect.  While taking it I feel a little dopey... but if I have been on it for a while and then lower the dose to one every two days. I can really feel the difference in my performance and focus.

I went through a stressful experience which brought on some mania.  Stay off this medicine if you go through a similar experience.  It heightens panic and intensifies anxiety.

Other then that seems to be good."


"I was on this medication for about 2 months and it was an awful experience. I started out on 25mg and I couldn't really feel any emotions, so they increased the dosage to 50mg. I started feeling worse, so I was told to increase the dosage again. Once I got to 75mg, I started becoming angry, even more anxious than I was before, I had an out-of-body experience, and I was becoming incredibly impulsive. After trying another anti-depressant and failing, it is believed that I have a mood disorder and was placed on mood stabilizers."


"Good at relieving pain for a short duration (4 hours at a time) with few side effects. I found that at 200mg/day my pain was cut in half and I had increased energy and a brighter mood.  I have used this medicine for 4 years now and find that it is very effective for about four months.. and then effectiveness decreases.  At that point, my doctor switches me to a narcotic for three to four weeks and then I can continue with the tramadol over again with a "reset" in the effectiveness factor.  The strongest negative for me is getting off the tramadol... withdrawl effects include major mood swings, insomnia, and dizziness.  But overall, it is quite effective and has very few bad effects for me while taking it."


"I started taking Harvoni after a year trying to get approval from insurance company. I'm on my second week no side effects except for one day big headache and vomiting. But I am feeling more energy since I started. Next week will be my 1st. Follow up appointment. So far good. A lot of faith."


"I was put on topamax for about 3 weeks for excruciating migraines that I would get just about daily. While it was pretty effective at decreasing my headaches (I only had about one or two in the three weeks I was on it), I experienced side effects from it. I was taken off it for a few days and then put back on to see if I still had the same problems.  A little bit of lip tingling but nothing major.  When I upped the dose like I was supposed to my gums started hurting so my doctor took me off it and put me on Depakote."


"I've been using this for about 3 months. I have not seen  a reduction in hair. It really dried my skin out making the hair look worse. It is really expensive at $100. I'm going to finish this bottle then I am done. It was worth a shot."


"I have never had any problems with any medications until after I had open heart surgery. Crestor is now giving me leg pain and weakness, along with the pale stools."


"I was given this while living in the Philippines as a combo med with Acetaminophen. It worked better than any pain medicine I had ever used without the side effects of stomach upset (Ibuprofen) or fatigue, sleepiness (codeine).  "


"I've been on Synthroid my whole life, it works like a charm. I'm on a dose of 120 right now and its helping. "


"Started out ok on this after switching from Lisinopril which controlled BP to 120/80 then started getting excruciating bad spasms which I attribute to this then came the sudden dizzy spells. Blacked out behind the wheel and got in a car accident last month. Fortunately I was not injured and only minimal damage to my car. This stuff is scary but seems to control BP reasonably well."


"Brought daily migraine headaches down to 1-4 a month"


"I have severe insomnia and Ambien CR has worked very well for me. Previously, I tried the Ambien IR and while it did knock me out for a good 3-4 hours, it didn't help me to stay asleep and the Ambien CR does just that. My only complaint is some days I seem to very drowsy and sluggish, but most of the time I wake up feeling refreshed and ready tackle the day."


"I tried this medication for 2 weeks. The first week I took 50mg up to 100mg in the second week, but I didn't feel any good..I had a panic attack (the thing that I rarely observe) in the first week. It is worth to try it, it may work for someone."


"I have been on this med for only 4 days after being on multiple other meds for general anxiety disorder for several years now. And I can already feel the difference in myself. Not exactly where I want to be yet but definitely positive results so far. It does make my pupils seriously dilated and at night when it's dark my vision seems like I'm on a merry go round if I moves my eyes to quickly. Other than that I feel much better than just a few days ago! Hopefully this med will work for me. I hate switching meds cause of the time I have to wait to start a new one. Sends me in a downward spiral of panic attacks and irritability. So far since being on Effexor EX I've not had even one episode!!!!!! And I was having them every single day!"


"I honestly didn't realize I had a medical condition. I just thought my deodorants weren't working for me. I recently had a rash under my arm and went to the doctor and he said I had hyperhidrosis. For the past few years I'm am only to wear tank tops or black/white shirts to prevent the seeing of my underarm sweat, so terribly embarrassing. I would have such envy of anybody who could wear a clingy colored shirt! Now that I have been prescribed Hypercare it has only been one day and I wore a gray clingy shirt today with no armpit sweat stain! I feel so much more comfortable now, and I get too expand my wardrobe with clingy colorful shirts now! Thank you doctor!"


"After many antidepressant medications over the years, I had resigned myself to a low sex drive and a bit of flatness in effect. But after Viibryd, I regained that sexual spark and the depression lifted. It's been 4 months now and I'm on 40mg having stayed two weeks at 10, two weeks at 20, then 1 week of 20, alternated with 40 mgs. And then finally one 40mg daily. I have struggled with sluggish bowels for years so this may be why I didn't have diarrhea. However, there was some gasiness the first month and bowels more loose. No nausea but I do take it with a spoonful of peanut butter. Most days I feel content which for me is exceptional."


"I suffer from bipolar disorder/extreme anxiety which prevented me from living life. I am on a mood stabilizer Lamictal- helped greatly with mania, did nothing for depression. I had no interest in life, couldn't stand my husband, didn't like my cats and dogs to be near me and would not do any chores. My husband had to do all the chores. I have only been on Zoloft 25 mgs for 3 days and already am feeling better. Last night let my hubby lay near me while watching TV without me wanting to kill him, let my cat lay on my tummy without pushing her away. Today I woke finding I am yawning all, but already, dare I say a tad more happy! Hoping even better things to come!"


"I started taking bupropion hcl 150mg about 3 weeks ago at the same time I quit useing zoloft 100mg, going off of zoloft was the hardest thing for me, it was hell, but I hung in there, today I am really happy that I'm off of it, and the bupropion at 300mg a day is excellent for me, no depression, sex drive back fully, it took about a week to adjust to, but I love it now, my mood is balanced to the level up to good mood too, so far no bad mood, no longer a zombie on zoloft, yay for me. just a tip for going off of zoloft, it gets bad, but in a few weeks it clears up, I almost gave up, but I'm glad I didn't, Again I feel alive , :)"


"If you're here reading this review I hope it's not to late. DO NOT TAKE THIS. DO NOT BUY THIS. Unless you want to feel like your vagina was tortured, raw and burning like hell itself, TAKE MY ADVICE. Three hours and counting of sheer pain and regret."


"I have suffered from insomnia and night terrors as long as I can remember. I took Zopiclone, over the counter medications for sleep that were helpful for the insomnia but not the night terrors. I was diagnosed with REM sleep disorder by a psychiatrist who prescribed Clonazepam. I started with 1mg at night, but found it was too much and had problems waking up. I vary now between 0.5mg and 0.75mg depending on my anxiety level going to bed. I cannot say what a difference it has made. My sleep terrors are all but gone (I still have them on occasion, but not every night), and I wake up feeling more alert than on the other medicines. It has been the most helpful for me."


"It worked OK but had a dramatic effect on my mental capacities. I was in the aircraft business and it got to the point where I felt I was becoming a danger to my customers and myself because of my inability to remember. The day I couldn't recall my favorite grandson's name was the day I quit taking it. I underwent a radiological procedure (gamma knife surgery) at UAMS in Little Rock, that cured the problem. I only have a mild flare up occasionally but it's nothing to what I used to suffer and is usually short-lived. I would recommend this procedure to anyone. It's painless and effective and was a God send to me."


"I have had CIU for over 13 years without remission.  Horrible, painful, debilitating hives that grow for days before receding. I've never gone more than a couple of days without at least one hive, despite mega-doses of antihistamines and other doctor recommended medications. I'd tried it all!  I received my first injection of Xolair 26 days ago and have not had one single hive! This medicine is, so far, the miracle I have been hoping and searching for, for 13 long years!"


"Hi, I'll be 25 this month. I had a miscarriage when I was a teen and never thought anything of what it meant. When I was 20 I got pregnant with my son but I was in amazing shape because I was in the army. Now here I am with pcos and irregular periods. My husband and I (not my sons biological dad) have been ttc for like 18 months at least and have had no luck! This past January we went to a fertility doctor where I was diagnosed with pcos and a blocked tube. In June I stopped having a period. Last month I went to the doctor for depression, he said getting on metformin wouldn't be a bad idea. About a week and a half after taking the medicine I got my period. I was so excited! Now to wait and see if we're able to conceive. ❤❤❤"


"I was diagnosed with possible flu Saturday night at Urgent Care after spiking a fever of 103 all of a sudden and generally feeling like rubbish. I had a flu shot. End story, they didn’t actually test me but assumed, gave me a script for tamiflu and prescription ibuprofen (I have a history of headaches).  Initially I thought it was great.  After 2 doses, all the side effects started to hit.  Insomnia, eye irritations, dizziness, bleeding nose, diarrhea.  All for something my regular doctor said wasn’t actually the flu.  When I saw my regular doctor on Monday, I was told to finish out the script but rightfully diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection.  Almost a week later, I still haven’t slept a full night. Never again tamiflu, never"


"I've been constipated for about 5-6 days. I've never used Dulcolax before so I took only 1 at 10pm at around 6 am I had to go...I feel very relieved and no pain or cramps :-)  If you never used this before and you don't know how your body will react, take only 1 first!   Very happy with this product !!!"


"I was prescribed this for a kidney infection and didn't know I was allergic to it. it caused my face to swell and tip of my tongue tingle. that happened at 8:00 it is now 11:05 and it is just starting to affect my feet and fingers other than that it is helping clear my infection"


"I am on the last week of the second month of this pill and I have been spotting a brown discharge( not heavy enough for a pad or tampon but annoying)  since the last week of the first month. It wont stop I'm getting ready to start my third month so my first period week on the pill is 3 weeks away. If the spotting doesnt' stop after my period week I'm calling my doc for a new pill."


"After taking one pill twice per day for three weeks I suddenly experienced in the middle of the night an excessive amount of blood being discharges with diarrhea.  This continued every two to three hours until mid-morning when I was admitted to a hospital.  I was dx with diverticulosis and admitted over night.  Was treated with antibiotics.  The bleeding stopped by midafternoon.  The following day I was discharged and then went to see my family Dr.  He did not believe that I had diverticulosis as I had NO pain associated with the episodes.  After reviewing my meds he told me I should contact the prescribing Dr(knee specialist) regarding the episode and continuing the meds for pain.  I was told by the surgeons nurses to stop the meds."


"40 yrs old & last year tried the progesterone only pill for just 5 months (ceased that pill 4 months ago) but ever since my once near perfect skin has been plagued by constant hormonal spots.  The doctor prescribed Duac & said it could cause redness & drying.  I used this for 2 nights only, last Monday & Tuesday, applying just a very thin layer to all areas affected by spots as per the directions. By Wednesday afternoon my skin had started going pink & itchy so I didn't use it again.  Woke up Thursday morning with red, itchy, burning patches all over, like port stain birthmarks, & it is still driving me crazy now, trying not to scratch, using moisturisers but to no joy - 5 days it has been like this, wish I had not used it."


"I started Saxenda on 2/19 weighing 247.6 lbs, 6 weeks later I'm at 228, 19.4 lbs gone. I lost the first 10 like in 2 weeks, then lost about 2.5 lbs a week after which is good to me! I try to stay within 1200-1400 calorie daily intake and I have gone over that amount a couple of times. Side effects were minimal, mostly heartburn, especially if I eat late, so now I just don't eat late, easy fix to that. I pay $30 per box with insurance and the Saxenda coupon, i would recommend this to anyone struggling to lose weight."


"I have had no problems with this medicine.  It helps me sleep at night. It also has lowered my blood pressure."


"I am 26 and nothing has worked for my Acne....NOTHING! I have tried pills, creams, Proactiv, herbals, almost everything. But finally I got something that WORKS! This pill cleared all my acne and I even forgot to take it more than a few times... still nothing. I don't wash my face a thousand times a day... Don't apply any acne cream.. and there is never a pimple on my skin. There have been no side effects for me. So you should definitely give this a try. Its the ONLY thing that has WORKED for me."


"Valtrex is EXCELLENT. I, like most of you here, take it when I feel a slight tingle or little tiny cut on my lip. I just down about 4 of them and it's gone before it begins. I haven't had one cold sore in over 1 year now and I only got the virus about a year and a half ago. As you get older, the virus tends to be beat down by your body's natural immune system. "


"I wasn't really serious about quitting. I was at the Doctors office and asked for this medicine by name. I have been a smoker for 12 to 13 years. I did quit while in Boot camp for the Navy, but started smoking again as soon as I got out. I never had a quit date and was smoking, the same as I always have. Cigarettes didn't taste good anymore. I used to get a surge through my arms, fingers, legs and toes when I would light that first smoke in the morning. That went away, I found myself holding a lit cigarette until it burned out. I believe this medicine decided when it was time for me to quit. On the 1st day of week 3 I stopped smoking, right now it has been 24 hours, since I last lit up. I have never been able to say that. These pills work, tell everyone you know."


"I love the NuvaRing. I started on after my son was born 6 years ago. Its easy to use, gentle to put in and remove, doesn't move at all while in there, and I never ever feel it during sex. After I started using it for about 3 years straight, I came off for 2 years as my Fiance was out of the country. I just started back June 2013, and love it even the more now. It doesn't decrease my sex drive, and although I am newly married, I have to admit my sexual desire has increased. With every birth control there are bouts of Sadness and anxiousness, but you distract yourself by watching great movies and eating popcorn, not tons of goodies which probably increases weight gain. I have never attributed weight gain the the Nuva Ring, but my own diet."


"I was not sure how well it worked at first.  Then I was unable to get it for awhile, and was in a lot of pain, trouble getting through the day.  I just wanted to sleep.  Once back in my system I noticed the difference.  This helps my depression, back pain, and the neuropathy."


"Forgot to mention that I have had no adverse side effects that others have mentioned. I already have some nasal allergies so I was concerned about nasal congestion but it has not happened.  One downside is that I am always semi-hard; it never becomes entirely flaccid so I have to wear tight underwear so I don't form a tent."


"I was on this drug for many years. I took the 4mg dose 2 X and sometimes 3 X a day, without any problems. I did get skin sensitivity but that is genetic as my daughter also has it. I found the drug more effective taken with diuretic -Bendroflumethiazide up to 5 mg daily - but this caused gout eventually.

To be honest this is a good drug, given that I've tried many combinations of blood pressure medicines."


"The first day, it was great!!!  Did NOT have an appetite. In a week I had lost 4 pounds.
After 2 months,  it gives me energy for 7-8 hrs.  Then, I CRASH & eat everything in sight.  Dr. says--Be Patient.  Crazy way to live.  My other meds all make me gain weight!!"


"This birth control has been great.  I've used the pill, Depo, as well as the Nuvaring but this is by far the best.  I've had it for 3 months now and haven't had any problems.  On other birth control methods I've experienced mood swings, irregular bleeding and weight gain.  I highly recommend Implanon if you're tired of side effects.  It's also the best option for smokers.  The insertion caused some anxiety for me but it was over quickly and essentially painless."


"I had leg surgery last week and the morphine from the pain relief gave me rather severe constipation - it was the worst feeling, I was sore sitting down that I was crying and depressed. I tried prunes and fybogel - but no movement. I couldn't bear it.

I took 2 senokot 2 nights ago before bed - nothing. I took another 2 after 12 hours. About 2 hours later. I had a rather painful hard bowel movement, a couple of hours later I had crippling stomach cramps - which led to a further 2 bowel movements, each getting softer (but no diarrhoea). I had another before bed that night - back to my normal consistency, then another on waking this morning. I am delighted.

Was it a pleasant experience? No. Would I do it again? Albsolutely!"


"5mg, tinnitus is aggravated quite severely, joint pain in toe joints, mild depression, slight nausea and occasional insomnia - 3 weeks usage"


"Recently had outpatient surgery. This Drug will rapidly leave your system.  This is fine if surgery completed.  Although my surgery is considered minor, it is not pleasant to come to during a procedure.  Never again."


"I`ve had an on off relationship with opiates for many years now, my addictive personality has completely taken over my life and I'm out of control since my mother died but I chose to get it back by taking Subutex. I get no euphoria, I get nothing except a feeling of normality, but now I'm extremely worried reading about others experiences of trying to get off of the medicine. I did a methadone program once and tapered off, I was free from opiates for many years until quite recently, my Doctor told me the Subutex would be better and easier to get off than Methadone. I hope this is the case, I've been on the Subutex for 3 months now. At first I took 24mg a day, now I take between 12 and 16mg a day, depending on how I feel."


"I have been on Yasmin for 11 years now consistently and have absolutely zero issues, complaints or problems. No weight gain, clear skin, and my moods are as normal and fluctuate based on my regular monthly hormone fluctuations. However I see numerous comments on the first few weeks from users, and it's important to know that everyone is different! We are all built uniquely and our bodies have a one of a kind reaction to anything, particularly birth control. I'm a nurse in the public health sector and I advise all my patients to give their new birth control at least 3 months before deciding to call it quits. There's a lot of hormones going into your body at once and you need to let it settle! Good luck with whatever contraception you choose"


"This is one of the worst AEDs I've tried over the past 41+ years since surviving Reyes.  It caused hostility, agitation, nervousness, restless legs syndrome, suicidal thoughts, and made me so impulsive that I requested an early retirement from a position paying about $104k per year.  I probably would have not gone for retirement if the effects of the med had not been there.  To top things off it gave me gingival hyperplasia so my front teeth are ruined, gum overgrowth is worse than it has been while on any of the other 24 meds I've been given.  Intractable epilepsy is tough but this med might help persons who haven't had trauma or brain surgery.  FDA and the maker FAILED to warn me about this.  I got off of it."

"I was put on this while during my stay at an inpatient rehab center for opiate/benzo addiction. At first, it made me hullucinate (sp?) and walk into walls (50mg). This was for detox. Then, they slowly tapered me so there were no side effects. I am 40 days sober, but still feel anxious. I can't take any mind altering drugs, so wouldn't be a good idea to go back on it. I think under close doctor supervision, it's definitely worth it, even though I was walking into walls. :)"


"After 2 months on the generic form of this pill, my doctor suggested I move to Loestrin. It seemed pretty awesome because for the 3 months I was on it, I had no periods or cramps. I did experience weight gain, breast tenderness, major mood swings, loss of libido and slight increase in acne. Personally, I loved not having periods. It was cool and it saved me money on tampons. But the lack of sex drive was enough to convince me and my doctor that this wasn't the birth control for me. I've switched to Ortho Tri-cyclen and lost the 7 pounds I had gained in the 3 months I was on Loestrin. I'm cramping and having periods again but my sex drive is back at a decent level and my emotions are better in check.

Don't be afraid to switch birth controls."


"Got it in 22/5/16 bleed constantly!

Acne like a teenager

Mood swings

Tiredness

Costing me heap of money for sanitary items

Do not recommend"


Brompheniramine / dextromethorphan / pseudoephedrine

"Great! My daughter has had a cold and cough to the point of vomiting a few times. After the Dr checked her to make sure nothing serious, gave her this and she felt immediately better. Coughing and congestion significantly reduced. Bromfed is amazing and tastes good too (I always try anything I am going to give my children)."


"First shot five days out of rehab, now on my fourth, longest clean time I've had in over five years, such an amazing non addictive non opiod replacement. Gives me the power back to say yes to the shot once every 28 days (I take oral naltrexone starting daily @ day 21) and I have a life again, I'm no longer just a junkie but a daughter, sister, fiance, friend, and have an amazing job. I am a RECOVERING addict. Amazing what rehab, meetings, IOP, and this wonderful tool can do for a herion/oxy/methadone/all opiates IV drug user like me, only needle in my body in 5 months lidocane followed by vivitrol, never thought it could happen as much as I wanted to be clean."


"Going on 8 weeks after a synvisc one injection and the constant pain is now 10 times WORSE than before. my quality of life is horrible due to pain caused by shot. I have osteoarthritis in knee, nothing like the kind of pain I am in now. READ ALL THE REVIEWS BEFORE YOU GET THIS DONE"


"I've never been so happy in my life. It's not a fake, life is strangely perfect happiness. It's not the "I'm in my head, three feet away from everything and no one knows me" feeling I've gotten from previous antidepressants. I feel balanced and for the first time in my life (I'm 28, female) feel like I am actually coming from a well-grounded place. As others have said, when a dose is late or missed, the effects are pretty awful. The longer I've been on it though they are getting less intense. The first few times I was late, I became very quickly, extremely depressed, lethargic, dizzy, nauseous and irritable. I was having shooting lightening like feelings in my brain that would cause me to stop dead in my tracks and look pretty crazy."


"I was put onthis on and it worked, but afterwards omg I was red, my face was burnt and it looked like I got an allergic reaction because my eye was swollen. My face still looks awful 3 days later. I will never use again..."


"I love love love this form of birth control. I'd been on the pill before and always forgot to take it... not really effective if you don't take it ha. During the first 3 months, I had not had a period but I was a bit more emotional, it didn't really interfere with my life but my mood swings were noticeable to me. After those first 3 months, my mood went back to normal but I started spotting really lightly for 2 months. It wasn't enough spotting for a tampon but it was enough for a panty liner if that puts in into perspective for you. It took me about 8-10 months to get a period again, and now they're really regular. I haven't gained any weight, my skin is clearer than ever and I am definitely not pregnant. This stuff is GOLD."


"I've been taking Yaz for almost a year.  I had constant acne breakouts and very bad mood swings before taking Yaz.  Since then, my acne has cleared up and my moods are more balanced.  My periods are lighter and my breasts are fuller for a couple weeks during the month.  It took about 3 to 6 months for my acne to get better.  I am very happy with the product.  I have not noticed any side effects."


"Methadone is the reason I am alive right now, living a manageable life."


"I am hating the implanon. The only good thing is that it works as a contraceptive and I haven't fallen pregnant.
My negative side effects.
Heavy bleeding 2-5 weeks at a time
Random bleeding
Extreme menstrual pain
Lumps in breast
Strong sweet vaginal odour
Headaches
Insomnia
Moodiness
Depression
Anxiety
Irritability
Panic attacks
Hot flushes
Loss of libido
Weight gain
I have had it in since February, 10 months and counting
I just want to get it out. Honestly. The only thing that's stopping me is the fact that it is stopping me from falling pregnant."


"I waited 2 months to write this because I was convinced it wouldn't work for me. Lexapro WORKS. Stick it out before giving up. I got much worse before I got better. I started at 10 mg and am now at 20 mg. In the beginning, my anxiety and obsessive thoughts got a lot worse, and when I increased my dose it spiked up again. But it finally passed and the difference is huge. I feel like me again, but me without crippling anxiety and constant obsessive thoughts. My periods do make it worse. My side effects of dry mouth, constipation, sleeplessness, heavy sweating all are gone now. And NO sexual issues for me. Oh, and don't be scared of the generic - that's what I take. Hang in there and give it time!"


"Thank you for this medicine! It works unbelievably well. I get mega cold sores they can take over my entire bottom lip. Not only are they embarrassing but also incredibly painful. This medicine works miracles. As soon as I feel that awful itch that indicates the cold sore coming through I take one of these pills and a second 12 hours later. They will either completely prevent the cold sore from coming through or at the very least minimize the appearance and speed up recovery time. Not only that, I used to get a cold sore at least every three months. Now I’m down to about every six months or so. This medicine has changed my life."


"Overall favorable experience since 04 for psychosis. "


"I started talking Clonazepam a week and a half ago for my Generalized Anxiety disorder.... let me tell you its is WONDERFUL, it took my anxiety almost from the first day, I take 0.5 in the morning and 0.5 at night and have not had any anxiety in a week and a half which is a miracle for me since I had anxiety since I was a teenager.  Now the bad news is that its causing a lot of weight gain for me, 10 lb in  week and a half,,,,, its not OK with me..... I have been struggling with my weight forever and had finally got to where I am a little comfortable with it, I am 39 and do not need to gain weight,,,,, its making me depressed.  I really love having no anxiety but absolutely hate the weight gain..."


"I am diagnosed with schizoaffective Bipolar. I spent 8 years trying every psychiatric medication on the market to no avail. I never found stability my life was made up of rapid cycles of extreme moods one week I would be happy confident and secure the next week I would be extremely depressed often suicidal had 6 serious suicide attempts and was hospitalized 22 times. Nothing worked at least not for long. I was put on lithium 2 years ago along with the two other medications, I was on an antidepressant and an antipsychotic. Lithium saved my life I have had no suicidal thoughts, my life is no longer ruled by extreme moods although I can be a little emotional at times I am able to remain logical and in control something I could never do before."


"I have been on Lexapro for about 5 years now and it completely and utterly changed my life. I had very serious anxiety which caused my relationships problems, problems in my job and all over my life, I was erratic  and an emotional rollercoaster, after 2 weeks on Lexapro I felt stable and always the happiest person in the room, my brain needs this to function correctly without a doubt. I look back and cant believe I was the person I once was."


"I've tried several options, over the counter, homeopathic, and prescription in a quest to deal with transient insomnia which typically triggers a worsened depressive mood (kind of a negative feedback loop). Ambien was one of the first I tried. It works very quickly, has very little hangover, but did not always KEEP me asleep. I usually wake around 4.

The bad: tolerance, "sleepwalking," waking up in my roommates bed with no memory of how I got there. Be cautious, if you live with other people let them know you're suffering from insomnia and that you are taking this medicine. My roommates reported me seeming completely coherent while sleepwalking%u2014 it can be more problematic than mere "sleepwalking.""


"Unfortunately Humira did not work for my plaque psoriasis. I have psoriasis on the trunks of my legs, elbows, arms, hands and did not experience any clearing after 5 months."


"Began use of this medication upon receipt in mail. Only a few doses were necessary when effectiveness were noted. No side effects noted throughout the treatment period. Dermatologist will review the site at next appointment."


"Used it for 3 weeks. 5 days on, 2 off, and so on. 1st week comes out like pimples, second they break, third they dry. Hurts, sure but not impossible. Works perfectly. Fever, drowsiness, headaches,  but its worth it.  I have used it for the last 5 years once a year for face skin problems."


"Been taking buspirone on and off for 15 years, for insomnia, anxiety, and symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder.  Sleep is my #1 issue (or lack thereof).  Very effective for insomnia almost immediately upon starting it (after a period of not taking it). I sleep easier within the first day or two.  Within a week I get to sleep easier and more soundly.  Ironically I've always had the side-effect of vivid memorable dreams.  Doesn't seem to increase bad dreams though, just makes them more memorable.  No other side effects.  I have, depending on the stress in my life or other medicines being taken, generally been on 5mg/day to 20mg/day, with good results.  At 30mg/day I feel dopey. Prefer to take doses later in the day, not first thing in the morning."


"Only on the 3rd day and it's awful, throwing up, headaches, awful taste in my mouth. It is working though!"


"Taking my 14th pill today. No side effects so far!"


"Positives: Don't need to remember, doesn't hurt my arm, haven't gotten pregnant.
Negatives: I have been bleeding very heavily every day for 4 months straight.
Overall, because of the bleeding, I have not had a pleasant experience and hope to get it removed asap. Hopefully an IUD will be better."


"I'm on my 2nd week of Contrave and today was my 2nd day to take 2 pills in the morning and one in the afternoon.  Last week with the 1 morning and 1 afternoon was great and I have already lost 5 lbs BUT I see I personally won't be able to handle 2 pills at once.  I felt fine yesterday but today I am suffering from nausea (which my Dr. warned me about) and he just suggested to stick with 1 morning and 1 afternoon if necessary.  Overall, I'm very pleased with the results and think it'll only get better from here.  I haven't dieted or exercised ANY but have cut back on carbonated soda.  I plan to just stick with 1 pill at a time morning and afternoon, start a little exercise and watch what I eat and I think I'll meet my 20 lb weight loss goal"


"I was prescribed with Premarin vaginal cream to use for 2 weeks prior pap. I had total hysterectomy 9 months ago. I experienced severe acid stomach from this medicine. I have a history of stomach acid so I didn't put the 2 together. I took my usual med, avoided food that could trigger acid but to no avail. I suffered for 5 days of severe acid stomach until I decided to stop the cream that night. The following day, my stomach still sore but not acidic. I woke up with a headache. I didn't think the cream will affect me this way since its effects are limited in vaginal area. I was wrong. I can confirm that my acid stomach was due to Premarin vaginal cream."


"I have a severe bipolar, extreme manic depressive, high anxiety, suicidal tendencies and ADHD. I had never taken any medications until recently. I didn't believe anything was wrong. I recently admitted myself to a psychiatric hospital that specializes in chemical dependency and mental illness. I was prescribed Vistaril 50mg every 6hrs as needed. I like this medication a lot. It works quick for me and I've not experienced any issues with making me tired at all and I only use it during the day. But I also have Seroquel 150mg Neurontin two 100mg capsules three times a day and Depakote 500mg 1 in the morning and 2 at bedtime. Vistaril has been great for me."


"was prescribed this drug as I had my wisdom tooth out and had a abscess  and infection.  I stopped after three days stomach cramps, very painful ones, killer of headaches and diarrhea, foul taste in my mouth and constant nausea."


"Terrible gettin to sleep and stayin sleep. 1st tried Melatonin, Did nothing. Was prescribed Ambien, helped me get to sleep but didn't help me stay asleep thru night. Was switch to AmbienCR12.5mg, Did exactly what I needed, helped me fall sleep and stay sleep, felt much better on those days that I needed it. Couple years ago dr told me they changed rules for Ambien for women cause all these people had weird reactions. Me- no issues with full 12.5mg. Highly upsets me, I was doing great on the reg dose. Was prescribed lower dose next refill, only lasted 3-4hrs sleep, def not good :( They should start a person off on the low dose, wean u up on individual basis, for proper treatment! As no 2 pts r alike, & each needs diff doses to work for them"


"I have been on this med when I was diagnosed with UC in 2007. Due to the nature of my job and the stress. I only take when needed, have gone over a month when it wasn't needed. Also, anyone who has WD from this med must be on a large dose. I personally never experienced any problems when off it. It's a miracle pill for me. Every six months I see my gastroenterologist and stay on top of all info on the medication. It's a blessing."


"I battled opiate addiction for 11 years and I was in and out of jails and institutions half my life and all that was left was death for me and I was a split second away from taking my last breath. I have been on Vivitrol and it has completely changed my life!"


"When I first started taking Bentyl it worked very well.  Aside from the side effects of being drowzy & light headed it did the job it was meant to.  However, over the past year problems started to occur more frequently, thus stressing me out & making the cycle continue.  I would up the dose but side effects worsen.  Overall it takes off the edge.  I give it a 7."


"12 hours after taking this medicine, I had every symptom of a bad case of the flu, body aches, severe headache, nausea.  That coupled with sleeplessness and lack of appetite sent me to bed for 24 hours, the first time that has happened in years.  I was switched to 500 mg cefaclor and all is well, no side effects and infection gone."


Atropine / hyoscyamine / phenobarbital / scopolamine

"I had been seeing G.I. specialist for months for intermittent nausea and vomiting that led to horrible stomach and chest pain.  My G.I. tried everything, nothing seemed to worked, I even threw up on Zofran twice(strongest anti-nausea medicine you can get). I wind up in the ER about monthly for complications with dehydration and anemia, and at the ER I was put on Donnatal.  Donnatal was a miracle! I can now function, leave my house most days, and no longer spend every day wishing I would just die because of the pain. It doesn't fix everything but without it I am really bad. "


"My experience has been somewhat mixed. I have been using Implanon now for nearly 14 months and have decided to get it removed because I bleed every day, all day. I would occasionally stain my underwear and my sheets. It didn't start out that way, for the first month I didn't bleed at all, then I had an epic two week period, then everything was irregular, which has basically been my new norm, sadly.

I decided to get rid of the Implanon because of the endless bleeding. I should mention that the bleeding was usually pretty light, a bit more than spotting but not quite a period either. Other than the endless bleeding, I've been pretty side effect free, except for minor acne.

I didn't get pregnant on it, so yeah! But...blood, a lot of blood."


"Second birth control I've been on, and I've been on it for over a year. It gives me the worst headaches and acne. I put on about 10lbs and CANNOT get rid of it. I feel disgusting. My boobs didn't get any bigger. My periods are always right on schedule and never heavy but the rest of the month is a roller coaster with my emotions, weight, etc."


"I had this IUD for about 5 months. I experienced the worst cramping of my life with this IUD, at times nearly bringing me to tears. I would have cramping with things like working out and after intercourse, and also at random times. These cramps were completely debilitating. I also continued to have my period every month, as well as spotting. It seemed as though the spotting was starting to get better, but the intense, severe cramping persisted so my GYN agreed that it should be removed. Now I'm trying mini pills. I'm unable to use estrogen containing birth control due to a blood clot while on combo pill."


"Fast onset. Works very well for relieving pain. Lasts about 50 mins."


"I've been struggling with Nighttime Eating Syndrome for years now. NES is a Eating disorder that causes u to binge in the middle of the night. This disorder is not only bad bcuz you consume most to all of your calories while everyone's asleep, you also gain more weight when you eat at night, and you wake up in the morning feeling unrested and guilty. I've been on this medication already and stopped taking it because of the trouble sleeping. It's a catch 22 because my binging happens at night. Taking the meds at night keeps me up. I do love the energy and lack of wanting to stuff my face with food at night. I'm gonna hang in there and see if I can take my dose slightly earlier so that I'm not peaking at 10pm."


"Amazing in its ability to calm the cravings for alcohol. The only issue: I've been virtually impotent since taking my first pill over a week ago."


"I have been on Narvasc 5mg for about 4 months.  It doesn't control my blood pressure for the 24 hours and my pulse constantly stays elevated.  I have swelling in my feet and ankles and I'm tired all the time. I get flushing sensations and ringing in my ears sometimes.  Also feel dizzy at times and have dry mouth. All these medications are horrible. We have no choice but to suffer if we take them or not take them.  "


"I have been on this medication once before and lost interest in it because I was not feeling like I had lost weight. I decided I would try it again. I started it on June 13th weighing 359. I weighed myself on June 19th and had lost an amazing 18lbs. My doctors appointment is Saturday and everyone has noticed a big difference in me. I've lost 2 pant sizes, and 1 shirt size. This stuff really does work."


"Adalat 60mg helps my high blood pressure but I have to go to the bathroom a lot."


"Since taking this medication, I have extreme joint pain.  I have to pull myself up the stairs at home. It takes me quite a while to make it up the two flights of stairs.  My husband says I have bad breathe since being on this the past four years which is embarrassing.  I've read on other sites that others have experienced that.  And I sleep an average of 4 hours a night with the insomnia that I have.  My oncologist  thinks I'm making this up which is so unprofessional.  So many people have these same symtoms. I'm 50."


"Got the implant inserted 10/04/2016 because I was being super paranoid about getting pregnant on the pill even though I was taking it perfectly. First few months were ok. I noticed I started breaking out a lot more than usual. On the pill I had very clear skin with the occasional pimple that would pop up every now and then. Now it's been 5 months & it has gotten worse. I noticed it gets a lot worse when I'm about to start my period. Also I started breaking out on my forehead with clogged pores that I have never dealt with before. Since then I have been super moody and made me slightly depressed but that correlates to my breakouts. It's not bad bad breakouts, however, they're something I've never dealt with before.getting it removed 3/21"


"After two 100mg doses of Macrobid in 15 hrs my UTI symptoms such as a non fully empty bladder and a pinching pressure on my bladder with more urine coming out. Still many trips but all the urine comes out for the most without discomfort. Side effect: headache each time I took a dose. Still within the 24 hour mark but noticable improvement"


"Started on low dosage of 50mg morning & afternoon and 300mg at night but not enough relief at night so increased dosage to 600mg at night.  Finding myself to be a little more tired now at also feeling dizzy."


"In UK had this on NHS for last 7 months. Improved within the first month and after a couple of months was able to dance at my sons wedding, something I thought I would never do. Thanks to the makers, it has changed my life. I'm back at work 20 hrs a week and don't ache for most of the month. Like others I do feel washed out for 2 days post infusion but its worth it for nearly a month of good health."


"This drug has been far better at treating my ADD than any other drug. I have tried phentermine, aderall, ritalin, and straterra for my inability to focus. All other drug under the amphetamine category have caused extreme anxiety and ,when they wear off, horrible depression and negative thoughts. Evekeo has caused a minimum of these side effects and has increased my ability to focus. When the drug wears off, I feel like I go back to my normal state without all of the depression and negative thoughts. I don't want to describe it like this, but when it wears off it is a very "smooth" come down. I also like that it isn't extended release because other medications would last up to 16 hours, disrupting my sleep."


"I was prescribed this due to acne around my chin/ forehead and black heads on my nose as well as my cheeks. The first two days of applying this at night it was fine. On the third day I woke up to wash my face and noticed that my face was red and when I used my daily face wash it stung like crazy. After washing my face, I always use a facial moisturizer, and that even stung when I put it on! Later on in the day I noticed that my face was so flaky. I did not apply the following two days due to stinging and extreme dryness. I plan to use it again when my symptoms die down, but instead of using it every day.. I'll use it every other day instead. I think that this product is too harsh to use on your face every day."


"Helps with the pain with way less side effects"


"I was once a procrastinating, underemployed, muscular 18 year old who was unsure of his future. My ADHD made it impossible to focus, my motivation was terrible, and I snapped on anyone over the smallest thing. I knew about Ritalin...also knew its excess side effects. Heard about Adderall and decided maybe I should speak with my PCF. He prescribed me Adderal, a pill that can either make or break you. If you have had ANY history of drug abuse AVOID IT. It took me a month to realize I was abusing it. I lost sleep, weight, gained a tolerance. When I decided I'd better let my wife handle my medication, she gave me my  two IRs per day and still does. It helped alot. The medication is wonderful for ADHD but can very easily kill you if you abuse it"


"I was on Mirena for about last two months. First month wasn't to bad...spotting all day. Started breaking out some then second month everything got MUCH worse. Constanly tired, acne constant around jaw line (never had much problem with before), cravings for food and biggest one hair coming out in clumps. Doctor immediately recommended getting it removed. I did 3 days ago. I'm 32 and mother of 2. Hadn't been on birth control in 4 1/2 yrs. I know everyone is not the same though. Just my experience...now starting Loesrin 24 FE pills. Pretty nervous now and hoping no side effects like used to be before having my kids. Birth control touchy thing...good luck."


"I was on Nexplanon for a little over a year. First, I spotted for six months straight but had no other side effects. Then I had no period for six months, and my libido disappeared. Then my libido started to come back along with my period for three weeks, with intense cramping, mood swings, night sweats and swelling lymph glands. I had it out three days ago and have just realized it also caused me to develop melasma (pregnancy mask) on my upper lip. As birth control it was good but I couldn't handle the side effects. If you show a lot of sensitivity to hormonal methods this might not be right for you."


"I get a sick feeling but the relief from spasticity seems worth it most of the time"


"I've been in this BC for about 8 months now. And it is perfect ! I take my pills everyday at the SAME time. I've gained a couple pounds but not to many. No pain or blooding. My cycle comes the same time every month. Very light for about 3-5 days. I have experienced a lil nausea after taking my pills if I hadn't eaten yet. So I recommend eating and staying hydrated with this BC. But over all I think this is a very good BC for anyone. No major side effects. I really recommend !!"


"Been on Cyclaflem 1/35 for 2 months and absolutely loving it!

No nasty side effects, definitely a bit more emotional but nothing outrageous.

Fun colored pills: pink active pills and blue placebo pills, I know that has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the pill but it surely helps me remember to take it.

I can take it on a completely empty stomach and be ok. No spotting when skipping periods.

Great so far!"


"I had been to many rehabs, tried the whole AA thing.

Nothing worked. I was drinking a slab of beer per day 4 many years b4 i realised that I need to do something... I was running a successful 300k p/y company but was so busy that I just never had the time to either cut back nor stop drinking.. I made the extreme decision to quit my business and take time off so that I could concentrate on quitting.  I just went to my gp and told him my situation, I requested Campral . I stayed on it for 8months 6 tablets per day and never drank once. That was 3 years ago now I now have social drinks without any issues. AA isn't for everyone and don't be daunted by the fact you will never drink again :) Controlled drinking does work if you make it work."


"I took 200 mg of amitriptyline for 40'years for clinical depression.. I decided to find a safer medication with fewer side effects. I started Effexor and was weaned off amitriptyline at same time. Within 2 days my depression lifted,repetitive/unwanted thoughts discontinued. Down to 50 mg of amitriptyline and at 75 mg of Effexor. It's working amazingly well and amitriptyline withdrawal is minimal"


"Two and a haft weeks ago I completed my third Provenge treatment.  It will be two months before I receive a pet scan to set a base line.  What I do want to say is I am having strong muscle and joint pain.  Has this happen to anyone else?  How long should I expect this to go on?"


"Addicted to heroin for 5 years, unable to get fully clean because of the agonizing withdrawals. Then my friend told me about Suboxone, referred me to her doctor, detoxed comfortably and I've been clean ever since. This is the miracle drug for many people who think there is no hope. "


"Cannot really see a difference after 4 months"


"I have been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 3 years now. I haven't had any side effects but my acne got pretty bad and my sex drive is totally down. I wish there was something I could do to change this. Other than those issues I have been trusting this pill."


"In the beginning it was fine. In the last year I have had multiple side effects causing me not to be able to attend school or work. My primary care physician told me a month ago that I was suffering from depression and tried to put me on some depression pills. Something told me to look up side effects today and I am amazed to see that others have had the same effects I am having. I suffer with dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite and now anxiety/panic attacks, I can't even go to the grocery store without having these attacks. My doctor is suppose to be scheduling me a problem visit so we can move further with the removal process. I hope I can get this removed before I start school in July because this is not a good feeling and I'm only 25!"


"My son has been taking Ritalin for around 6-8 months and the difference in him is just unbelievable, he's school work has improved, he's spelling and comprehension has gotten a lot better and he has excelled in maths and can actually remembers what he has learnt. He socially gets along better with other children and is less destructive when in a group setting. I was very hesitant to put my son on meds but now realise I made the best choice for him."


"Thoracic and lumbar issues cause constant muscle spasms. Orphenadrine e.r. Helps tame them. It is also the least of the evils when it comes to causing drowsiness."


"I can remember the first time I wet the bed and for years it was almost every night and I could never get rid of it. When I was around 15 or 16 I got this medicine and it immediately stopped and only once or twice did it happen again but after I was finished with my prescription, I never needed it again and I haven't wet the bed ever since."


"I tried to quit smoking several times but it never worked. The withdrawal symptoms were just too much to deal with. I decided to try Nicoderm.

It's already been a week since I smoked my last cigarette.

Nicoderm has made it possible for me to live without smoking. The cravings were much less frequent and the side effects of nicotine withdrawal were not as important.

I signed up in a gym 2 months before I quit. I lift weights and do cardio 5 days a week, 1 hour per day. Exercise helped to quit by reducing my stress. It also prevents you from gaining unwanted pounds."


"I started Copaxone about six months ago.  I had been diagnosed with MS 10 years ago but didn't take anything for it but a giant dose of B vitamins daily.  Last December, I had my first real flare up and it was awful.  The nuero told me I had no choice now, but to take something.  So after researching with my husband, I decided on Copaxone.  Do not give up if you just started and are having itchy bumps and stinging when injecting.  It really did get better for me.  I did have one incident of the chest tightness and anxiety which lasted about three minutes but only once.  When I read the side effects from other drugs (Flu like symptoms and hallucinations!) I picked this drug.  So far, so good.  Neuro thinks I am not progressing at this point."


"I started taking adipex 6/30 and it's now 7/4. My weight has not changed. I'm having side effects like chest pain,  shortness of breath, extreme fatigue -no energy at all. I still pushed myself to workout and eat right. My weight at weight loss clinic was 228 but when I got on scale at public it said 232.  Because of pills serious side effects I have to stop taking pills. Best of luck to you all."


"I have been using it for one month but not found any result moreover hair fall is double"


"Don't know what I would do without Monurol. I get a small supply from Spain whenever I go there (or ask a friend to bring some back for me) because it is available without a prescription there and I can't get it in the UK. I keep a packet with me wherever I go, just in case I get a cystitis attack. Maybe only twice a year but oh the relief take it as soon as an attack starts and it is effective within two or three hours. Many other antibiotics just don't work for me. This has worked for me every time, thank God."


"Hi ladies! Take a deep breath. I was so skeptic about this pill, but IT WORKS! I had unprotected sex with my ex boyfriend a week before my period was due. He didn't ejaculate in me, but the internet has scared me about the possibility of a precum pregnancy. He bought me the plan b pill the next morning, and I took it 6 hours after sex. Unfortunately I experienced a lot of symptoms for almost 2 weeks: cramps, bloating, fatigue, depression and major anxiety. I drove myself out of my mind with worry. My period was 6 days late (almost 2 weeks after taking the pill) when I woke up with nausea. I thought for sure it was morning sickness, until I went to the bathroom and saw that my period had started! Now bleeding heavily, but I'm so thankful!"


"My son who is now 7 was on Adderall XR for about 9 months. It made him more focused but aggressive and hard to get along with others. He's been on Concerta ER 18mg for almost 3 weeks at first he was complaining about headaches but his aggression has changed tremendously. He gets along well with his sisters and is able to control himself better. I think I'm going to like CONCERTA."


"I take 0.5 mg as needed when I have an occasional anxiety attack"


"I have been on Contrave for about 4 months and I have also been on a strict diet as well. It hasn't helped me at all. I haven't lost any weight at all. I had severe headaches during the initial phases of increasing dosages and after stabilized dosages I haven't seen any difference at all. I read that if it didn't show any difference within the first couple of months then it was most likely not effective for you. Considering another option. One positive thing though is the free scale from the scale down program, however the constant hounding and text messages gets old very quickly."


"It works well for me when I'm really sick and unable to stop coughing. I can't take codeine because it makes me sick. This does not."


"I have been taking this medication for 9 weeks now. I injured my lower back and will require a spinal fusion of L5-S1 and L4-L5. I will be waiting for this surgery to get approved for a long time. This medication help quite a bit with all the pain associated with my back, except the nerve pain. Thank God the nerve pain is intermittent. I have noticed that the longer I take it, the less amount of relief time I get. That is to say, when I started taking it I would get about 6 hours of relief. That time started shortening rather quickly down to 2 hours now. My doctor put me on Tramadol at the same time now. I alternate taking 2 of each every 3-4 hours and the relief is amazing. I get about 75% pain relief with that combo, Versus about 50%."


"I was on Ortho Cyclen 28 day cycle for almost two years. I lost my sex drive, I gained almost thirty pounds in five months, my moods were horrid, and constant migraines. I switched to the patch, which I had been on previously. I'm on my second patch and already my sex drive is returning, I'm dropping some of that weight I gained, and my breasts are growing (they aren't even tender).

My only serious complaint is the itching. My skin itches where I place it and leaves a few little bumps that itch and burn. I'll take that and deal with it. Also placement took a while to figure out but the best area to put it on is your shoulder blades. They don't wrinkle and scrunch up, or collect the linty stuff there."


"I only stopped taking this medication because I switched insurances and the new company will not cover it at all! Being off of it, I realize what a huge difference this medication made. I took Brintellix for 4 months. I had some difficulty the first couple weeks, to be honest, with sleep. Taking the medication in the evening made sense for me, I slept better vs. taking it in the day time, I slept worse. I ended up not needing to take any of my anti-anxiety pills after a month! My arousal was not hindered at all. Brilliant medication, thank you to whoever discovered this one."


"I've been taking trazadone for the past year to help me sleep. I get anxious when I go to bed because I'm afraid I won't sleep well and I have to because I also have fibromyalgia. I'm taking 150 mg now. If I take 200mg I can barely wake up and am hung over all day. I take 50mg about 30 mins before bed and the other 100mg right before. I do this because it sometimes makes me feel weird and nauseous if I take it all at once. It does nothing for my pain. Just helps me sleep and relaxes me at night. It's good for now."


"Had dizziness, vomiting, shortness of breath, fatigue. Side effects lasting for more then 7 days after first and only use."


"So much more effective and comfortable for me than morphine but it does not help with specific elements of my pain when I lie down so insomnia is a problem."


"I've had pcos since I was a teen, very irregular periods dr says I don't ovulate. High school sweet heart and I got married and we want children. It's very difficult having pcos. Dr proscribed provera to induce a period. She said it would shed the lining and would be like starting "new". Took 1 pill a day for 7 days. Took 3 days to start my period after last pill. I do not recommend this pill to anyone. I've had severe bleeding for several days and large blood clots. I soak through at least 2 super plus tampons an hour. It leaks so bad through the tampon I have to also wear pads. Pads have rubbed me raw and the baby bleeding and constant changing of tampons has made me raw from the top of my vagina to my butthole. I'm very weak and dizzy."


"I've been on this birth control one year now and it has been a up and down journey sometimes I would not have a cycle and then I would have a horrible one. If you're looking for something to prevent pregnancy this is the one for you I never became pregnant"


"I had burned my arm with a curling iron on Saturday and within a week I had put Neosporin on at least 8 times a day to keep my burn moist and I was also using bandages to help keep it on during work and at bed time.  My arm had become swollen and it itched a lot.  I thought the itching was due to it healing.  I decided to go the doctor due to the swelling.  The swelling was approximately two inches by three inches. Well come to find out I was using too much Neosporin and using it longer than you should. The doctor said I have Cellulitis and I have to take the antibiotic Keflex for 10 days to get rid of it. Always see the doctor first."


"I'm allergic to penicillin and Zithromax, so my doctor prescribed Avelox after I'd had a sinus infection for 3 weeks.  (I try to avoid taking antibiotics since I'm allergic to the normal prescriptions.)  I started to feel better after the first dose.  My only complaint is that the pills were a lot more expensive than simple amoxicillin."


"I had sex for the first time, on no birth control, with no condom. He pulled out but I was still nervous because I'd heard a lot of different rumors about precum, and I was pretty drunk when it happened. Got some generic form of Plan B 15 hours later at CVS. And then I continued to stress for the next 2 weeks. I tried all the home remedies to get my period faster- warm milk/water, baths, heating pads, vitamin C- you name it, I tried it. But the pill will work in time. Give it at least two weeks before pregnancy testing. Takes more or less time on certain people. Symptoms for me were sore breasts and nausea. Wicked cramps now, but relieved I'm not pregnant. Good luck, and remember not to stress. It. Will. Work."


"I have been constantly on pain medication for 6 years due to a wreaked back. I was on Hydrocodone 7.5 4x a day; and it work fine, but when you take the same meds no matter what it is over 6 years it doesn't work as well after a while. So I talked with my Doctor and He Dr. decided I needed to try  Hysingla 20mg, and assured me it would work great. Well after two weeks of sleepless nights and loss of work I had Had it!! This was the biggest waste of my money and time. Not only is this crap cost twice as much with my insurance, but it DOES NOT WORK! I understand why Doctors would want to try it; for fear of opiate abuse, but this is causing more and more people who are truly in need PAIN!!!"


"I have been on Femara for 3 years now, following 5 years on Tamoxifen as part of the Tango treatment for breast cancer. I have experienced severe joint pain, vaginal dryness, loss of libido, etc. But thought it was worth the effects in order to keep me 'cancer free'. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. I have also issues with bone problems i.e. broke my foot 4 years ago & chipped my knee joint. But hey I'm still here. Keep persevering girls!"


"I am 37 yr old Male. As a young adult I always found fascination in thinking about 25 things at once, and being excessively consumed with multiple projects. It wasn't until this year that I actually recognized that I never finished any of the 25 projects I started. I don't have any depression or severe symptoms, I just simply can't stop getting pulled into 20 directions all the time. I started, and am remaining on a 5mg twice/day prescription. The difference in my ability to get stuff done is like night and day. I don't take it after 3pm, or I wont be able to sleep at night. And I don't take it on the weekends. On days where I feel somewhat sane, I don't take it either. "


"I'm a 21 year old female and just diagnosed with Bipolar I. It's been a roller coaster ride especially after gaining 10 pounds in the hospital while taking risperidone and Depakote. I'm still on the Depakote, though I hope to discontinue it as soon as my psychiatrist allows, but I just switched to Abilify. I've got to say, so far I have no complaints. With risperidone I had no "lid" to my hunger. It was endless, and that was quite disappointing. There were many other side effects, but the weight gain has added to my self loathing. Though the painful heart dysrhythmias are a close second. I'm hoping that Abilify makes it possible for me to curb my appetite back to what it used to be as I exercise the 30 pounds I don't need away."


"I was having a lot of problems with spotting so my doctor put me on Trinessa and it was terrible. Each month like clockwork after finishing the second week of pills I would have spotting that would last until I took my last pill and then its period time, so basically had a period for two weeks. Also when I was off the active pills I was really emotional I would always be very, very depressed the first day of my period and I would just remind myself it was because of the pill but no one wants to willingly feel that way. My doctor has switched me over to Seasonique and I am starting that in two weeks. I hope that helps me as I've been dealing with spotting issues for almost a year and have been on probably 4 different pills and nothing has helped."


"I have been on Prozac since I had post natal depression in 1994. It has saved my life and my marriage. I take 20mgs but my only son left home recently to go overseas and join the army so my doctor increased the dose to 30mg as I have been feeling anxious and not sleeping as well."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I read a lot of the comments and did not find any like my experiences when I took the stuff two days ago for my colonoscopy yesterday.  I found the taste mildly offensive the first dose but the texture of the solution seemed slimy which I cannot tolerate.  Within ten minutes, I had very severe, uncontrollable shaking--way, way past trembling.  I really thought I was going to die and I live alone.  Could not walk, could not hold anything--it was awful.  Subsided in about fifteen very long minutes and about an hour later, after the four cups of water, had some action which lasted about two hours.  The first dose was at 9 PM. The second dose was at 3  AM and I had the same violent shaking again (could not finish the dose).  Never again!"


"I was prescribed klonopin for my sleeping anxiety. I just have a fear I guess you would call it of going to sleep. My mind constantly races over really bad things and keeps me up all night. I can't fall asleep until I'm extremely drowsy. However, this is an anxiety medication so would I be ok to take during the day at work to calm my anxiety or will it knock me out like it does at night? Just curious that maybe since I have the mentality that I'm going to bed soon is why it makes me so drowsy as opposed to being up and busy at work. I get overwhelmed with anxiety at work sometimes and have nothing to help with it."


"60 year old women with bone on bone and need TKR, however my doctor suggested Euflexxa saying I was too young for surgery.  I am one and a half months out from my third injection.  After the first injection I was able to sleep through the night without my knees locking, which was a huge improvement. My doctor said to take it easy for 48 hours after each injection and to ice four times a day.  Right knee responded much better than the left, but I do have some pain relief in both knees.  I started Physical Therapy 4 weeks prior to the injections and the doctor advised to continue as long as my insurance will pay.  My doctor advised I will be at my optimum 3 months out from the third injection."


"I developed a chronic cough.....could this be a side effect of this medicine?"


"I was hesitant to get this after reading all the reviews, but I am the world's worst at trying to remember to take pills, so my husband and I agreed to give this a shot. I got it put in back in June. I had my period for 3 months with maybe 2 days a month where I didn't bleed. I wanted to rip the thing out, but we agreed to try it for a little longer. In October, my period went to about 2 weeks and when it ended I haven't had one since and it is now December 7th. I had bad headaches for the first month. I had no weight gain or mood swings. If you can make it through the first couple of months, in my opinion its great. But something you have to remember when reading all these reviews is everyone's body does not work in the same way."


"I am not the same person when I'm off this medication, the difference is nearly night and day. I'm so much happier, I have heaps more confidence, and all in all my life just works better when I'm on it. I only came off it as a trial but I went back on after a month; I don't like the way I am without it I'm irritable, and cry easily and obsess about everything! That has eased up so much and I am generally much happier and more able to get on with my life :)"


"Please do not get this. I've had it for about 2 years now and I'm getting it out ASAP. I'm constantly tired, starving, I have crazy mood swings, I put on 20+ pounds, my clothes don't fit me any more. My patience is thin with my daughter which makes me sad  and I have no confidence anymore. My husband thinks I hate him. I've never been so stressed out in my life not to mention I'm not looking forward to them getting it out."


"I had Implanon inserted May of 2012. Once it was inserted, I continued to have a period for 6 months non-stop, which caused some other issues. Once that stopped, I had periods for two weeks, and then would be off for two weeks, and then back on. This went on for a year. Now they come and go as they please. One thing that I've had a hard time dealing with though is the weight gain. I gained 10 lbs in just one year, and during this second year I have gained 5 more lbs. I have never in my life had an issue with weight (gaining or losing), but this has been it for me. It has also given me extremely painful periods. It HAS done it's job in preventing pregnancy though! Which I am pleased with!"


"Roxicet has been extremely effective in relieving my occasional severe pain. Thirty milligrams eases the pain completely and lets me get back to the important things in life, like work or family time."


"I have been dealing with sweaty palms since the 3rd grade.  I never understood why I was so different.  I couldn't wear cute sandals because my feet would slip and slide.  I couldn't hold my husband's hand without drenching his.  I am now 32, live in hot/humid Florida so finally decided to ask my dermatologist what can help.  I used this stuff twice on my feet and was AMAZED that I wore sandals and did not slip out of them - total life changer."


"I cannot say my experience with these medications- enbrel, humira, simponi & cimzia have been positive. For some odd reason my body is continually rejecting them. I end up with the uncommon/ rare side effects and have to stop using. Seems once I reach a 3 month mark is when the side effects start showing. My last trial has been with cimzia, which I began symptoms for the past month or more and my research doctor had told me my symptoms were not from the cimzia.This last injection I took 3 days ago, now has given me terrible swelling in my feet and lower legs. I am at a loss now.Seems there is nothing else on the Canadian market for A.S."


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


"I recently posted a review on this pill 3 months ago when I fist started and thought it was great. I WAS WRONG! I had to update because I could not in good conscience let anyone think this pill is anything but terrible. My fist month went great, no side effects at all. The second month I noticed my stomach was not right. Turns out this pill destroys the good bacteria in your gut. Probiotics are a must! I noticed I started to gain a little weight and developed slight eczema on my face which still comes and goes 2 months later. Beware taking this pill."


"After taking one pill within a half hour I was erect and hard, had sex and could keep going to her surprise. Deciding to continue to fool around, I found it easy to become erect when aroused by her, and this continued all day into the night and into the next day. I was very happy with the results. Again that is after taking one pill not half."


"Upset stomach most of the time, minimal pain control, just not effective for me."


"I didn't do much research prior to starting Contrave. I'm never one to suffer side effects from things, so I wasn't concerned. I took my first dose on a day when I was going on a field trip with my son. I could hardly hold my eyes open all day and slept the whole way back to school on the bus. I'm now on week 5, and taking 2 pills in the morning and 2 at night- I'm still sleepy all the time and find myself more hungry than I was before starting the medicine. I haven't gained any weight, but I haven't lost any either. I'm going to continue to take this for at least 8-10 weeks, and I'm hoping I can come back and say that it was worth the hassle! If I don't feel any improvements in my appetite by the 8-10 week mark, I'm done. "


"First colonoscopy ever. This prep worked great. Yes a bit salty, but just gulp it down and chase it with the water. No cramping, nausea or headache. Started working in a bout 40 minutes. Stay close to the bathroom and get to the toilet at the hint of movement. Took about 4 hours to complete the first round. Did the second round the morning of my procedure, took it at 5 am for an 11:00 procedure. Second round was a breeze. Cleared out by 8:30am and doctor reported fully cleared.  This prep is worth the money and I will definitely use it again. Have no fear folks?"


"So I had the mirena inserted 4/1/15. I have a 3 month old son. The pain was horrible. Took the doc a few times to get it placed correctly. After the insertion, I didn't have any cramping or bleeding for abt 4 days. On 4/5/15, I started bleeding heavily. It's was heavy for abt 3 days and now it's light. I'm STILL bleeding. I'm starting to have cramping now. I don't think I like it so I'm considering having it removed and trying something different."


"I'm 20 and have had the Paragard IUD for almost 4 months. The first couple days after insertion were the worst. Although the procedure itself was quick and somewhat painless, bleeding and cramps were a serious issue over the following weeks. The cramps were painful to the point where it was debilitating but taking painkillers helped a lot. Between spotting and periods I was bleeding almost nonstop first few weeks. The IUD made my periods longer and heavier (went from 5 to 8 days) and I became extremely susceptible to bacterial vaginosis, which has recurred  continuously (and isvery costly to treat). Side effects (BV and bleeding) made me unable to have unprotected sex, which ruined the point of the birth control. Things do improve with time"


"Was prescribed this medication for my UTI.  After taking my second pill, I started experiencing severe migraines and blurred vision. It was so bad that I couldn't drive. I stopped taking it yesterday and my vision is still not 100%. I recommend people try this for a day and observe your bodies reaction. Lots of people have a bad reaction to this medication (Ive NEVER had a reaction to medication in my life only this one). If your sensitive to certain medication I highly recommend you don't take this one."


"Been on regular seroquel for 4 years fine. Started this for mania/depression and paranoid thoughts. Awful. Weaned up from 50mg to 450mg then back down to off in 1 week. Stomach pains. Out of touch with reality. Groggy. Weight gain immediatley.

It helped the symptoms, but no way to live."


"I have been taking Bystolic 5mg 2x a day for the last 2 years.  I was 33 yrs old when I discovered my blood pressure was high (150/105 approx) ouch. I don't have any of the risk factors for high blood pressure.  Dr said it is probably just genetic.  My blood pressure has been controlled and has been normal ever since I started taking Bystolic.  I have not had any negative side effects at all."


"I was on this pill for two months. The first couple days I couldn't stop crying...I am NOT the crying type of person, and I had constant mood swings. The following two months I gained a significant amount of weight (10 pounds) even with running and dieting. My breasts were beyond sore and I couldn't handle my husband even lightly touching them. I felt bloated the entire time and my periods were back in full force! With my previous birth control (Natazia - my insurance stopped covering), I had no period and no ovarian cysts bursting. My gynocologist recommended I get off of this pill immediately. Hopefully I will have better luck with the next!"


"Everything affects everyone differently. With that said I have had the nexplanon for just over a year and I'm not loving it. I had the Mirena for 5 years. No issues and period was very light. 5 years is the max then you need a new one. My doctor who inserted the first one couldn't get the replacement in.  So moved to plan B. My doctor mentioned nexplanon because I didn't like pills or nuvaring. Insertion was easy and pretty painless. They use a local anesthetic.  My doctor thought I would react in a similar manner to the mirena but that hasn't been the case. My skin is oilier, it breaks out, and my period is much heavier. Not to mention I gained 10 lbs. Probably will get it removed once I decide on another option."


"This medicine did not work for me. "


"This has saved my life. I felt like I was starting to get out of control with my drinking, going through life week to week.  Then I realized it could be different.  This is awesome.  I can't believe how well it works and neither can my husband. I'm great now. First thing I always did when I got home from work, was pour a vodka tonic, now... nothing. I have a new lease on life after work. I can drive after dinner."


"I started my son on this medicine on Friday.  He is doing well.  No emotional break-downs, no crying.  The only issue I am having is he is falling asleep around noon every day.  He hasn't had a nap since he was 16 months old.  He is 7, going on 8. I can't imagine his teacher will be all that amused when he goes to sleep during class tomorrow."


"This is absolutely the best birth control I have ever used. I switched from Nexplanon to Ortho Evra, and if you are thinking of doing the same, I highly recommend it.  Let me list the reasons why:
1. Weight loss. I have lost 5lbs in one month, without even trying!  I'm back to the weight I was before I started birth control...but my breasts are still birth control sized.
2. Sex drive. Mine had been non-existent since I went on Nexplanon in September. Now, stronger than ever. That might be a downside though, now that I think about it.
3. Skin- no acne!
4. Predictable cycle. (On Nexplanon, I never knew when I was going to menstruate, which was about 90% of the time). Now, a non issue.
5. Don't have to remember everyday."


"I injured my back at work, it got to the point where it was difficult to get out of bed. My doctor put me on Skelaxin and tramadol, in a matter of weeks I was back to work and feeling 100% better."


"I took Ella at the very end of Oct . I didn't experience any side effects from taking the pill initially,  and all the tests I took several times in Nov were neg every time. My period did not return until Feb and when it did it was one word- horrific. I was already 10 days in to my cycle when I stood up and thought I had peed my pants b/c of the amount and speed of  liquid that came out of me. I had my period in Feb for 19 days, March was 25 days , April I am currently working on 17 days. Thankfully there have not been anymore traumatic floods but 7 months after taking that pill I am still dealing with the effects on my cycle and the unknown for my future fertility. If I could go back and do it all over I would not have taken Ella."


"When I was diagnosed with ADHD in the 3rd grade they put me on Adderall and then I became a person I was not. I had social anxiety but got exceptionally good grades in school where others failed. Adderall changes your personality and was the worst 12 years of my life, I had no friends because engaging in conversation was nearly impossible. It traps your thoughts in a prison of your mind and suppresses any creativity. "


"I just started the Metroprolol for premature ventricular depolarizations. I was on one 25 mg pill a day and it wasn't touching it. I recently was upgraded to two 25 mg pills a day, we will see how it goes. My symptoms include rapid heartbeat while at rest and what feels like skipped beats or double beats. Most of the time they are on the aggressive side. I'm a 32 year old male."


"So far, not so good. Have only been taking Sronyx for 22 days (so maybe it gets better after 2-3 months), during which time I experienced the heaviest period of my life with excessive clotting. Cramps were reduced, however.  I'm not prone to acne but have an increased occurrence in pimples since taking. Generally I just feel 'off,' and not like myself."


"Could not sleep 2 nights in a row. So I decided to try 2 Unisom tables.  Took about 10pm. Slept amazing. Woke at 7.30 am took kids to school (felt like I was exhausted) went back to bed woke up at 1pm. Still pretty groggy and sluggish. Trying to wake up."


"Zyrtec knocks me out. Period. I took a pill at noon and by 2:00 pm I lay down virtually passed out. I slept for two hours straight. In the middle of the day. When I awoke I could barely function. Brain fog, lethargy, no energy. To tell the truth, I was so spaced out for so long that I couldn't tell if helped my sinus condition or not. I wouldn't dream of taking it if I had to drive. It would make a great sleeping pill."


"My wife was administered Compazine after receiving chemo to relieve nausea symptoms. Within 12 hours, she became restless, irritable, felt like her muscles were being ripped out of her body, it caused her to have a 103 fever and diarrhea, coupled with the chemo almost killed her. She ended up in the ICU unconscious and almost died. Our team of doctors told us the was a rare occurrence. From reading the other reviews, and witnessing this first-had. I would advise anyone, if offered this drug to decline. It was truly the biggest nightmare of my wife's life. On the scale of 1-10 above this survey asked to select how effective this medicine was. Therefor we would give it a 0=ZERO."


"This is the only non prescription pain relief that will take away the pain of a toothache or any other body pain within an hour.  I have not found them effective for a migraine  headache."


"Just 2 days after my 1st injection the bleeding, fever, vomiting stopped. With time the diarrhea settled down to 1 to 3 times a day, all the mucus and excessive gas stopped. Six months after starting my colonoscopy show  the ulcers and inflammation  had cleared and healed completely in the entire large colon down  and there was  just chronic inflammation in rectum."


"If I take 4mg at bedtime it will allow me to sleep, however, I can't wake when I need to get up to pee!  If I take 2mg (a 4mg pill broken in half) I can get up without a problem and still sleep most of the night. I also have a pain pump 9.0Mgr of hydromorphone, oral hydromorphone, trazodone.  Even with these drugs on board at bedtime pain keeps me from sleep more than a few hours total each night...  With the addition of some tizanidine, I am able to get nearly a full nights sleep. This is the only time I take it."


"For the first time in my life, I no longer have suicidal thoughts. I am more positive. However, my fibromyalgia, migraines, chronic fatigue syndrome, and Chronic Epstein-Barr Virus are so incredibly painful and crippling, I am not able to function normally. I have had hot flashes also. However, feeling like I am choosing life rather than seeking death options, is the greatest benefit of Cymbalta."


"I have tried both Ambien and Lunesta and they messed me up the next day, felt real groggy. Heard about Silenor and got some prescribed, so far so good."


"I had a really big blister when I woke up and rushed to WalMart. The only one available was Abreva. It doesn't relieve of pain or that burning/fat sensation but it did ultimately dry out my cold sore! EXCEPT NOW (Day 3) it's slowly spreading all over my lip. I was sanitary! Down to disinfecting my lip before applying Abreva. I used only Q-tips, no fingers.

In other words, it dries your first cold sore, but it doesn't stop the other cold sores for using Abreva."


"Used for approximate 1 month. Experienced restless nights, increased emotion-i.e. Felt I was going to cry over silly things that wouldn't normally make me emotional, mood swings, increased anxiety, headaches, and increased agitation. I'm very intune with my body and didn't feel like myself. I felt like I was " PMSing" the entire month. Was prescribed Ortho-Tricylcen-Lo- however my insurance only covered generics and substitutes a " similar " product. No similar really- with the exception of both being labeled as birth control. Switching ASAP. I rated it a "3" because ultimately it did its job, and I did not get pregnant."


"My Doctor prescribed Mirapex for my Restless Legs Syndrome and it made me extremely sick! I couldn't even get out of my bed for almost 24 hours and felt like a train wreck! I went back to Sinemet and it works great and is very inexpensive with my insurance."


"I have just started taking 50mg a day and noticed increased yawning and I'm really tired."


"I have had Mirena for a little over a month now, and so far its been great! The insertion was very painful... much worse than people said, but this varies between people. I had severe cramps for a few hours after it was inserted, but after that they were mild for the rest of the day (and the next). I spotted for a few days, but that went away and there was nothing until my period. My period was lighter, but it lasted longer. It was basically spotting (slightly heavier than a pantyliner could handle), for seven days. Since then, I've had some sporadic light spotting, but its definitely manageable. As for other side effects, I haven't noticed any weight gain, mood swings, or a noticeable increase in acne, and I am prone to breakouts."


"Didn't work"


"Best birth control ever I've use it for since Jan 2013 and I've not gain weight, no headaches or nothing different from my normal life except that I haven't had a period ever since I got it which my Gyno said it was normal when I first got it didn't hurt a bit and I went on a cruise a week after that's how quick it heal but I guess everyone is different. Most people I know that has it love it and that's why I chose to get that one. Good luck to everyone."


"I've been on Viberzi for a little over a month now and it's been fantastic.   My only problem is, each morning when I take it, i always feel like my arms way 100 pounds so, I lay down for a little while until that passes but then I'm good to go for the rest of the day. I'll take a little discomfort in my muscles for a day of not having to worry about pooping my pants"


"I was on 3 to 4 bags a day for three years. Always felt depressed. Now I have been on Subutex for 3 years, feel no desire to get high. Am scared on how I will feel coming off of it. I am going to start to cut it back. I am on 4mg twice a day most of the time. I take 2 mg twice a day. Want to stop so I can feel like myself again. "


"Took two ten mg tablets then tried to sleep. Couldn't sleep because of legs and upper back spasming the same or worse and then . Fell asleep three times for thirty minutes to an hour each time only to wake up because of spasming and then discovering I had pooed myself a little each time. It gave me horrible diarrhea. I would rather be knocked out with a few firm punches to the face than to try this stuff again. I'm fairly certain it not only didn't help, but it made everything worse."


"This medication has changed my life. I am bipolar so I take it with my Trileptal (mood stabilizer). I've been searching for the right medicine combination for 10 years and I've never felt better. I started Celexa 6 weeks ago and It took about a month to feel it working. I had headaches and stomach problems but all that has subsided. I am free from the debilitating anxiety I've dealt with my entire life. I feel a sense of hope and happiness I never thought possible for me. I recommend this to anyone who struggles with anxiety, obsessive thoughts, low energy, stress sensitive or depressed. It's truly been a God send."


"take this medicine early in the morning same time everyday and youll feel much better"


"This is probably the pill I'll never take. The first six months were great. I lost weight, had 100% regular periods with no in between bleeding. Now I've had a good 4 months of non-stop anxiety, paranoia, and depression that wasn't there before. I have also developed bleeding the week before my period is supposed to show up. Definitely switching pills ASAP."


"Helps wth anxiety but makes me very sleepy, really can't take it if have a lot of work to do. I only take half a dose ."


"I've been on Zoloft for about two weeks now and I've noticed a considerable difference in my demeanor. The very first day I took it, it upset my stomach severely. I was so nauseous and had intestinal issues...yikes. But the next day I felt great. My doctor recommended I take a half pill for the first few days. I have had some relationship issues and work issues and I suffer from anxiety and depression. I have obsessive, negative thoughts about my relationship and it was seriously impacting it. I was fighting with my partner everyday because I couldn't stop thinking about our problems. Since I've taken the medicine, we had one fight. I do sleep a ton though I seem to be shaking that off a little. I feel like so far so good."


"I find it difficult to walk due to what one doctor said was

planta faciiatis. I am on my feet for 10 hours sometimes.

I find that only certain shoes help; but when walking barefoot I needed relief. My wife had Mobisyl which contains 10% Trolamine Salic. It worked like a charm.

Now trying it on my shoulders which hurt as well and hope it helps."


"About 4 days ago , I had sex with my boyfriend and the condom broke so he came inside me basically . Right away he went to buy me plan b and I took it about 30 min after it all happened . I just hope I'll be okay . I feel much better after reading these reviews . I can't afford to have a kid . I'm just 18 and honestly I'm scared right now but I feel a little better ."


"Drug works just fine.  It's getting it that's the problem. It seems to be back-ordered from the manufacturers and it's a struggle to get it. Now I'm out and can't seem to get anyone to get more for me.. even though they keep promising. Now I'm left scrambling to get to my doctor to change medications in midstream. STAY AWAY!!!"


"I've only taken 1 dose and very reluctantly. The first injection seemed to have no side  or few side effects. Before I tried this I was on bydureon had 4 injections. It truly was a nightmare. Nausea  and horrible, bad diarrhea. Once I figured out it was the bydureon. I stopped it
 I'm praying the trulicity works"


"I wanted to love this so badly but it honestly was the worst choice of birth control for me. Since I had already tried the Mirena I was already aware of how painful the insertion was going to be so I was prepared. But every month around my period my cramps were even worse than the ones I got during insertion. It was always the first day. I had 10-12 day periods each cycle, but there wasn't a single period I had without some type of leak happening and I wound up having so much spotting I would occasionally have 2 periods a month. About a year into having it and it actually started making me physically ill. I would have unpredictable vomiting episodes that got especially worse if I hadn't eaten. I got it out, & immediately felt 100x's better"


"I LOVED IT. My sex life is so much better!

Thanks Viagra."


"I started taking Qsymia in July 2013. I was 294 lbs. I have lost over 100 lbs with the help of Qsymia and am loving life. This is the only thing that has worked for me and I've tried everything from Weight Watchers to Adipex and back around.

I love Qsymia. It is a life saver."


"As far as not getting pregnant this thing works great! I've experienced some really annoying side effects too. First off I have no ryme or reason to my cycle and when I have it it's SOOO long. I've "spotted" for 2mos straight before. Also I have little to no sex drive. Guess that makes it easier not to get pregnant!"


"I have extreme bloating and my face has broke out terribly! I have been on it for a year and I've gained almost 60lbs! I have had a non-stop period with horrible cramps for 8 months straight."


"I have now unfortunately had severe dry eyes I make NO tears after a horrible lasik procedure a little over 1 year ago. It is so bad that I have pretty much lost my career. I have found that Puralube helps tremendously at night I have to put a drop of walgreens brand artificial tears then apply the ointment and then put another drop in and close my eyes and that lasts about half the night and I have to put in the artificial tears and sometimes reapply the ointment throughout the night. I tried ALL the other ointments and this is the only one that relieved my eyes and let me sleep the longest at one time, also most of the others like Systane and Refresh gave me styes."


"I am 22 and I have always had moderate acne on my forehead since I was 13. I first started with 100mg of spiro which caused a horrible initial breakout. I stopped taking it for 1 month and started it again but on 50mg and it really cleared my skin. Within one month I started getting a terrible headache that lasted 1 week it was so unbearable i stopped taking the pill for a week now and my headache is completely gone. I don't know if this happened because my diet consists of mostly salt food, but I was seriously scared I thought I had a brain tumor. This pill is a diuretic so maybe it'll work well to those whom have a well balanced diet, but as soon as you feel side effects you should stop it immediately!!! :("


"I'm 19 and I have had fybromyalgia since Oct of 2014. I take 100mg everynight and my rheumatologist said to take with 500mg Tylenol. It helps so much I also take 5 300mg caps of gabapentin a day."

"I have been taking Viibryd for about a week now and so for can't tell a lot besides not sleeping and having night sweats only on the 10mg. So far not sure if it's right for me or not. I have taken everything and the only thing that has worked for me is Lexapro and I was on 10 mg for a year then was on 20mg for another year but just wasn't working anymore so I am going to give Viibryd a good shot before quitting. Think I will start taking in the morning and see how that goes."

I've been on Lomaira for about 8 weeks and have had success. My doctor first put me on 37.5 mg generic phentermine, but I couldn't stop sweating and it was giving me anxiety. I was definitely eating less, but I hated the feeling. My doctor told me a new weight loss medication was now available that was more targeted to evening when I tend to over eat after work. It's definitely a bit more expensive. I'm paying $29/month and the generic was about $18/month. I prefer the brand and I like starting on this low dose. You can go all the way up to 24mg with this so I will probably stay on lomaira for a while. I've lost about 18 lbs in 2 months. I don't like drugs so I'm happy to use less phentermine"


"I was on 400 mgs for six years. In that time it messed with my testosterone. My doctor never said anything about it. Still suffered from manic depression, depression anxiety."


"Did not work at all for me. So disappointed.  It was very expensive.  And I think it might have made my skin worse."


"I take this 20 MG a day along with Carbamazepine  (tegratol/equetro). The two medicines together really make me feel "normal". I don't feel like a zombie. I feel a bit of euphoria on this. This is a good thing, but I can see how that can make some people become dependant on it. However, I feel great on this. I feel a tiny bit tired but I'm not sure if it is one of my meds or my 3 kids tiring me out. Otherwise,  no major side effects. Maybe some issues with vaginal dryness but lubricant helps. Doesn't kill my libido the way some antipsychotics can."


"Update - I have been using the inhaler and been smoke free for 4 months.  The inhaler was very useful the 1st couple months in managing the hand to mouth habit.  It does not have the same enjoyable sensation of taking a drag, but it is an adequate substitute.  Although I never used the recommended dosage, for the last month I have only been using 2 to 3 cartridges a week and those are more in an attempt to prevent me from eating than a need for nicotine.  One thing that has really been a benefit is the reduced stress of travel as I no longer need to worry about when I can have my next cigarette!"


"Works great, little side effects. I will get a little stomach upset if I don't take with food, which you should do. I am not sure why the reviews are bad unless you are allergic. My UTI symptoms start to disappear with one pill. Fast relief."
