"This has given me my life back combined with Cymbalta. I haven't felt this good in years."


"Have taken 4-5 years now changed my life for the better.  A neurologist I saw for over 25 years treated me with 4-5 drugs.  The last 15 years prescribed Demerol 100 mg liquid injections.  My headaches were 4-5 week.  I left that doctor went to my primary who prescribed Nortriptyline 25 Mg 1 pill before going to bed.  That has worked so well I don't have but maybe 4-5 headaches a year now!!"


"I've been on Generess Fe for several months now. I went on it to alleviate pain from a small functional ovarian cyst and for the first couple months I totally forgot about the cyst, this past month has been slightly more painful but it still is a great remedy for functional cysts. I have very light periods, about every other month. I think my sex drive has gone down a little but it isn't that noticeable. I did have a scare when I went on some antibiotics that I realized made the birth control ineffective for the week, but it all ended well, so just be aware that there are some interactions. I went on this after being on Junel, which made me break out and get very nauseous. Generess has worked very well for me!"


"I've been taking trazodone for the last few years and it does help me sleep. It helps me relax and fall asleep, but there are times that I wake in the middle of the night and can't fall back to sleep. There are also times where I'm still groggy in the morning."


"I fell flat on my back and have been using this for 2 months.  It works but really wakes me up! I need something else that makes me a little more sleepy.  "


"Great medicine. I need a potent, systemic bronchiodilator in order for my other inhalers to get where they need to go. This is a really important facet to my plan.  I wake up easier, am clear headed, have less depression, and more oxygen to my lungs/brain. I highly recommend it."


"Great, I take it twice a day, it does the job. I feel really good."


"Im 17 years old, 5'4 and weigh 113 pounds. Got my first injection on May 22nd. First few days was fine, got it while I was on my period so it was immediately effective. First week was fine but after a while I began spotting and since then I have been on a constant period with occasional cramps. I already suffer from some anxiety issues which Depo-Provera has intensified but I expected this. Feel dizzy when I'm laying down to go to sleep but its gone by morning. No change in sex drive but I've noticed most people's decrease. The site of injection hurt a little for 3-4 days but now I can't feel it. Have little energy and can't walk to school anymore because I'm constantly too tired. Wont be getting this injection again, going to try Nexplanon implant."


"This pill had no side effects didnt make me break out or get bigger breasts but it did make my cramps 5 times more painful than they normally are. I got 2 periods a month even after being on it for 6 months. I'm giving it a somewhat good review because it did not get me pregnant."


"Only been on it for a week but my fairly severe ulcerative colitis symptoms have fully subsided. I am taking 1.2g 2 x day. I also started 1200mg of slippery elm and Turmeric 2  days after starting the Lialda. "

"I'm not going to say this is a bad product because everyone is different. But I was on this for about 6 months. And the last couple months, I had noticed myself having horrible thoughts, and also helplessness. I would cry all the time and freak out over nothing. I was suffering severe depression. People all around me started noticing I was acting different.  My face also broke out and my sex drive was very minimal. I am an emotional person to start with. All around the pill did what it was supposed to, but it was just way to much estrogen for me. I am now on the Nuvaring and I love it."


"way too much stimulant--increased heart rate and blood pressure immediately after taking one pill."


"I've been on Lutera for almost a year now. I've been having birth control issues for about 2 years - first being on Mirena and having terrible cystic acne and depression, and then my doc recommended Lutera to add some hormones back into my system to help the acne. This is low dosage and although I've seen my cystic acne go away (besides some coming at the time of the month) I still break out daily. I wanted to try it for longer than a few months, and I have to say out of the entire year, about 2 months of it I had decent skin. I break out on my face, back and shoulders and I haven't had this bad of acne since high school. After high school, I was on Ortho trycyclen and the nuva ring. Both of those didn't make me break out at all. I'm 23, 145lb"


"This drug has been good, it has stopped my periods & pain I was getting.. the injections aren't as bad as I thought, have had little symptoms, such as; body hair loss, little weight gain, feeling better, slight increase with sweating, lower in sex drive and feeling more bloated then usual."


"Zovirax cream has 50mg of acyclovir in it -doesn't it? It was in the contents ingredients information list.
Zovirax cream is a MIRACLE CURE!! Coldsores
-dab it on asap a small tiny bit
-Bumps on skin like welts or hives (Shingles?) +very painful +scary looking like chicken pox -connect the bumps/dots.

ZOVIRAX by prescription will save YOUR day!!! : )"


"I have been taking Cymbalta for about 6 months. It has definetly helped with my plantars fasciitis pain. I still have some discomfort, but it is manageable with the medication. I experience no side effects, and noticed improvement in only a couple of days."


"I have had horrible panic attacks out of nowhere since I was in elementary school. I got on Xanax when I was 13 years old, and still take it today. It has been a God send and I have tried cognitive-behavioral therapy, counseling, SSRIs, other benzodiazepines, etc. and this has been the medication that has helped the most! I have gotten my anxiety under control and only take it as needed."


"I received the Implanon after giving birth to my first son. I thought this would be great because I forget to take the pill. Well it is great. I am not pregnant. However, I am having the WORST side effect of them all. I AM LOOSING MY HAIR. I have got to get it out. I walked in thinking that this would not happen to me, side effects never effect me. Good luck to the rest of you."


"Since I have used this medication so long, years and years, I believe it has improved my rosacea. I'm not willing to stop taking Oracea to find out. As far as the stomach ache associated with this pill, I found that taking it at night prevents the stomach upset symptoms. One review mentioned burning on the lips and tongue, I have experienced this side effect very very much, however, I didn't realize this pill may be the reason. Again, if this pills causes the lips, mouth area and tongue to have a burning sensation I'm not sure I would stop taking the Oracea, although that is one terrible side effect. Overall, I will continue taking Oracea."


"Cont..... to have to resot to a pill... but i did! I started Phentermine 30mg on 6/10 and just had my 2 week follow up today and i have lost 8 pounds to far it was so exciting! I am on a 25g of fat and 30g of sugar per day diet, its pretty easy! Normal symptoms dry mouth some constipation insomnia the first few days but nothing that I can't handle. Will update ! (:"


"This worked great for me.  We went fishing on a small boat in the ocean for three days (going out each day) in some pretty choppy seas, and I never felt nauseous, nor did I get sleepy. I hate the drowsiness I get with Dramamine, so this was very welcomed.  One patch lasted for all three days, so it was economic, too.  The only challenge is ensuring the patch stays on during showers."


"I am a 29-year-old woman who received propofol for my first colonoscopy. I slept through the entire colonoscopy and was not drowsy afterward although when they administered the drug it felt like lava being pushed into my vein. That pain lasted just a few minutes."


"Let me preface this by saying I have taken many different kinds of birth control pills throughout my teen and adult years. This is by far the BEST bcp for my cystic, hormonal acne. I've also taken Cyclessa which is in the same family (desogestrel & triphasic) with the same results. Any time I went off of Caziant to "switch it up" was when I started breaking out horribly in cystic bumps. If you suffer from hormonal acne, definitely give Caziant a try. Other benefits are light & short periods, very mild mood swings, normal sex drive, no weight gain."


"I had tried raisins, Triskets and other high fiber foods after a number of days of constipation. Hubby had Ducolax for a colon prep so I took 2 at 6 p.m.  At 1 a.m. the diarrhea began.  It was sometimes hourly but sometimes 10 minutes apart.  I thought it had stopped at 6 a.m. but I ate scrambled eggs at 8:30 a.m. and was in the bathroom within minutes with 'brown water'.   I didn't have the horrible pain others mentioned, but I'll be afraid to leave my house today!  Gentle?  No Way!"


"My husband was perscirbed this medicine to help him sleep.  He is a combat veteran..(need I say more about sleeping).  The medicine worked okay, but it caused his Trigycerides to sky rocket."


"I've been on it for 1 week now  suffering from bad sciatic pain caused by a herniated disc S1-L5. I was taking 6-8 ibuprofen a day and was still in pain. With only the entry dose of 1 300mg a day and 2 ibuprophen a day I can function almost normally until this disc heals...absolutely amazing medication. I won't don't plan to ramp up to the 900mg a day, getting great results with the 300. I was a little fuzzy the first day, but fine after that."


"I used Sklice yesterday on my 6 year old whohas long, thick, curly hair.  I only found a few live adults on her, but so many nits. The contents of the tube was barely enough to cover all of her hair.  Today, I could not find any live lice, but nits remained even after using a nit comb.  I called the customer service line.  The representative could not answer if the product kills the nits, and even insisted that a nit is an empty egg casing...seriously?  Um no, it's an unhatched louse.  They need to provide more accurate scripting for people who answer their phones. That's basic information, not rocket science. I guess we will find out."


"I have been on Depo for 11 years now. I had about a month of spotting when I got my 1st injection, but I have since stopped having periods altogether. It has NOT affected my sex drive. I have gained a little weight, but that could also just be the fact that my metabolism has slowed since I'm getting older.  In the last year I have had a little bone loss and my doctor now wants me to switch to something else. She has suggested Implanon. Wish I could just stay on Depo. "


"I have been on Humira for over 6 months. The 1st 16 weeks were amazing. I didn't have flakes everywhere, my Psoriasis was barely noticeable, I was so happy and actually had hope for the first time in years. Unfortunately, it is back with a vengeance. I have never missed a dose (2 injections each month every other week). I'm back to flaking everywhere and now I have developed them in my scalp. It doesn't work for everyone, the important thing is to never quit. "


"I couldn't make it without my Lyrica!  This medicine has absolutely changed my life.  I was hurting all the time and used all my energy just to work.  There was no joy in my life until I was prescribed this medicine.  Now I work and feel like doing the things I enjoy, like working in my flower garden.  I thank God everyday for this medication!"


"This med worked for me for about 2 weeks. It was amazing. But it seems I have started already become imune to it. I was so hoping it would work for me like it did everyone else. I am totally crushed that it isnt."


"Hello I'm 20 year and I'm 5'3.5. I've just started taking Phentermine 37.5 mgs, on December 1,2016. My intital weigh I started out with was 255lbs. I have no clue of my weight now. But this pill I take gives me dry mouth and a slight fast heart beat. Since I was 15 I always been a big gal, and then when I was 16 I was dianosed with high blood pressure and slight heart trouble. We'll finally when I was 19 I was in Florida for a job at Daytona500 Club. And a week later after my job interview in Florida I woke up one morning feeling really sick. I've went in the hospital for about five days.Then I said to myself I'm to young to die so I started dieting no luck there on my own. So I went to my doctor for help so wish me luck. I'll update y'all."


"Personally, I hated it.
During my time on ADHD medication I was almost always in trouble at school, failing classes, suffered from mood swings, from the first grade to the end of the ninth grade and also looked anorexic during that time. Once I got off the medication, I could finally feel like a human being and was happy, but I gained a surprising amount of weight that (5'9" and 110lbs to 5'9" and 162lbs) I have spent the next three almost four years trying to replace the fat with muscle. Getting off the medication was the best thing to happen to me as I could actually pass my classes and graduate high school."


"Been using it for 15 years.  I've lost a little hair since then, but it slowed down dramatically."


"I'm a 54 yo woman with chronic back leg and arm pain due to degenerative disc disease. My whole lumbar is fused.  3 herniated discs in the thoracic  and 5 now in the cervical that need repair. I rely on Norco just to be able to get out of bed sometimes and to do chores like cut the grass. One of the best I've taken, Only thing I've noticed is I don't sleep when I take it. I just rest. I'm now lost as the laws are changing and my surgeon cannot give me scripts due to being post surgical a year. Family Dr doesn't issue narcotics at all, so I ended up at a high priced pain clinic that will only prescribe 5/325 2x a day!
what a joke....... those of us that need it can't get it ."


"I don't care for this medicine I developed a rash on both my arms and was so confused I don't suggest adults use this for adhd"


"I have taken YAZ for just over 6 months now and I have seen no improvement in my skin. I don't have severe ache, I never have but I do suffer from constant congested skin that no cleanser/exfoliator can fix. Mainly whiteheads, heaps and heaps of them mainly on my chin which always turn into zits. Never ending cycle of zits. On YAZ I don't feel any period pain during my cycle and my period is light but I have found that recently, few days before I get my period I break out in acne all over my chin which has spread to my cheeks and it takes nearly until my next period to fully clear. I waited 6+ months to see an improvement in my hormonal skin with YAZ but I have seen none so I'm changing."


"This medication is amazing!! Be patient and try it! All ADHD medications (like any other medication for anything) have side-effects but I have learned Concerta's do go away once you let your body do the talking: push through the 1-6 days of anxiety/depression/hyperactivity, etc., and be open to what it can do for you once your body gets used to it. I am 21 years old and I am on 54mg AND I take a side-effect medication called INTUNIV XR (2mg) that cured the anxiety side-effect which I found to come about half way through the day and when the Concerta was wearing off. This side effect comes about because Concerta is not a gradual release but 2 releases of the medicine- it drops off and may cause anxiety for a short time during the day."


"It has helped me with the panic attacks. I fight with feelings of guilt because I want them to go away without taking drugs, and feel like I am a weak person."


"1st 4 days were great, no pain and no lethargy.  Day 5 began with stomach upset and hot flashes.  Day 6 brought anxiety ending in severe depression and psychotic break.  All resolved after cessation in 24 hours.  "


"My story is very similar to others I have read. I'm on day 3 and have lost 5 pounds. The first day I had dry mouth and woke up to my heart fluttering and insomnia. The second night was fine but still have had dry mouth. I do forget to eat I have to remind myself, nothing sounds good either.  I do love it."


"Weight: 205, height 5'6", age 40, female. Insurance covered all but $30.00. I'm on day two. Have noticed a slight difference in that I don't really think about food all day. I think about it when it's meal time or I feel hungry but I'm not obsessing about when or what I'm going to eat next. I have no side effects to report. No headache, no nausea, nothing. I sleep just fine as well. I am tired today but that's because my dog woke me up a million times to go outside to bark at the wind. :/ we will see how I hold up to adjusting my dose next week. I'll keep you posted!"


"This medicine worked well in the beginning but I quickly built up a tolerance to it.It is now not working so well after a month.Now I am getting severe tightness in the chest a few times a day while still using it.Not only that,I am cramped up now all the time with severe thigh and lower leg  cramps shoulder spasms and neck terrible pain.The fatigue is crippling and intolerable. My life has become a misery.I will go back to the Dr. and ask to be put on something else.This is the cure?Ha!"


"I absolutely love this form of birth control. I had it inserted in July 2015. I bled a small bit in the beginning when my body was first getting used to it but it was nothing heavy. I haven't gained any weight. I'm 5'3 and weigh 102. I was actually hoping to gain weight but that didn't happen. I forget that I even have the implant in at times. It is now February and I haven't had a period since November (YAY). I feel great and haven't had any mood swings. As far as the birth control side goes, I am currently in a long distance relationship so I haven't been able to see how affective it is. I'm sure it works just fine since I haven't had any complications from it."


"I've been using Androgel about a Year now. I'm 42, have had zero drive since early 30's Started me on 8-pumps, now to 9-pumps.

I saw someone mention potential effects of Depression, it's not helped mine.  I also use Cytomel. (Adjunct Depression Treatment--however also HYPOthyroid. Me no Muscle Mass/Depression/Weight Loss

The most pronounced effects, *MUCH* firmer erections. (like 16 again). That alone is worth it (no need for Cialis). Definitely recommend that alone."


"4years quit, after 30 years smoking. I really didn't even want to quit, but took it on my physician's advice. Smoked while taking it for 7 days (day #4 I could tell it was working good). Quit and took for 7 more days & never had an urge. I could be right next to someone smoking, after I ate, while drinking & not ever feel the urge to return. No side effects, except maybe slight nausea first two days."


"Taking name brand. started 150 1x a day for a week. first day so amazing, energized,went to the gym, positive & for 4 days felt great.5th not so much & by 7th day was feeling back to my depressed self so I upped it to 2 a day. now I go from anxious to flat. feel absolutely nothing, zoned out, very irritable.  vivid dreams & nightmares, kind of can't separate  dream from reality cause it seems like someone's in the house & I wake up out of a dead sleep & I'm not sure if someone's in the house. going to give this a few more days if things don't get worse hopefully they'll get better, if not, not going to take it anymore. I took this because I wanted to avoid weight gain which happened years ago with other SSRIs. hasn't affected appetite."


"I am able to get 60 20mg tablets for under $30. I typically take 60mg (3 tablets) an hour before sex. It works best if taken on an empty stomach. I get acute nasal congestion when using this medication, which is easily treated with an over-the-counter decongestant spray. This medication has improved my sex life and my self worth. Highly recommended!"


"I have been on mirtazapine for just over a month, like others here I had trouble sleeping only a few hours a night, this became unbearable and I couldn't function in my work or daily life, I was tearful and miserable. I went to my doc explained the situation, I didn't want antidepressants as tried them before with dreadful side effects. Long story short I relented and thought I'd try mirtazapine for a week, I'm now into my 5th week and sleep well most nights, a few night sweats and some weird dreams but I'm starting to feel human again."


"Didn't improve any symptoms.

Side Effects:
1.	It was messing up my stomach and starting to cause problems with my acid reflux
2.	I had several episodes of feeling really anxious and my heart would race – on the verge of panic attack, maybe?
3.	Very slight fear of the dark"


"I have 5 Bulging Discs in 3 different areas, Degenerate Disc through out the spine, & Arthritis through out the spine.  I also have Fibromyalgia.  I also have shattered bones in my left hand & left foot.
The Lidoderm Patch works well for the areas that are quite excruciating even after taking my regular medications.  I also find I do not have to take quite as many pain medications when using the Lidoderm Patches.
Thank U ever so kindly Kamneo"


"I take this almost every 2-5 days, due to my unbearable tension headaches. This past time (I am Rx'd 2 tabs every 4-6 hrs) I took my entire daily taking which is what, max 12? and I took them all but staggered, and I ended up in the ER with a shot of Naloxone from overdosing on the butalbital. Not sure naloxone works on barbs....but they gave it to me anyway. I was so out of it I couldn't see or talk right. I'm someone who takes benzos..or used to, that is, so I can handle that type of feeling. BUT....at the end of the day, this medication DOES work for tension headaches and helps me sleep, the caffeine in my opinion is cancelled out by the butalbital. I take the non scheduled- no codeine- version- although I wish I was. id cut back on em."


"I used it for the first time....and I have spotting on a pad instead of tons of clotting and lots of bleeding.  I feel better and did not feel it caused headaches and I do get PMS migraines as before.  I would recommend it.  I had a DNC to help with my problem 3 months ago and last month I started clotting and heavy bleeding again.  My doctor told me to try this, as birth control did not do anything positive and made me feel like I am pregnant and gain weight. I am grateful this works as on the heavy bleeding clotting days I would feel emotionally slipping into real depression. I am not depressed but the bleeding seems to bring erratic mood swings. This did help as the doctor said it should. I am not worried about blood clots as I do not smoke."


"To who ever is reading this freaking out like I did, just take a moment and breath. This pill really works. Me and my boyfriend are sexually active and I'm currently 17. We had the usual situation of the condom breaking so I told him to go get the pill. I didn't experience a lot of side affects, just really bad dizziness and slight cramping. I lost my appetite due to stress, which ladies don't stress because that is the worst thing to do. About a week after taking the pill I started my period, a day early. I'm honestly so relieved. I couldn't have a child at my age."


"I love this antipsychotic.  We tried them all and this is the only one that did not give me akathisia - I know another person like me and same thing with him as well.  I have taken 600mg since January and it is fabulous.  Definitely chills me out and calms me down.  Does not put me to sleep though.  That stopped a long time ago - I think you get used to it and the lower doses are more sedating.  I have done some reading though and it has to hit a certain dose (I think 400mg) to actually hit the dopamine receptors, anything lower and it only works on histamine and would not work as a antipsychotic.  I now take the XR version as I was taking the regular version twice a day for psychotic symptoms, I don't take this for sleep.  Very nice overall."


"Cataflam has helped but I have to take at least 4 - 6 a day to be able to survive the pain of my period. But once it starts working I feel so much better I have tried so much but only this works for me."


"I began taking Flagyl on Saturday night to treat diverticulitis.  I could not sleep at all that night or the following three nights.  I lay in bed wide awake, with my leg muscles randomly fasciculating.  I had a headache and neck ache from not being able to sleep.  Occasionally, my entire body would suddenly jerk while I was lying in bed.  I could not concentrate at work, and even though I am a Pharmacist, I kept forgetting the names of medications that I had been taking and the names of the medical conditions with which I had been diagnosed.  I had been taking ibuprofen for a few days the prior week, and I had stopped taking ibuprofen due to heartburn.  Even though I was on Protonix to treat my heartburn, Flagyl significantly worsened my pre-existing heartburn to the point where I had to stand erect throughout the day and night, moaning with pain.  My epigastric pain would begin about an hour after taking Flagyl and be at its worst four hours later.  I also felt as if I constantly had to urinate, but only a small amount of urine would come out each time.  My mouth was extremely dry with a metallic taste and a furry looking tongue.  I ended up in the ER the following Wednesday writhing in epigastric pain which was a “10” on the 1-10 pain scale.  I literally thought that I was going to die, and I spoke with loved ones by phone to say my good-byes.  My blood pressure was moderately elevated and my ECG, which had always been normal, was now “borderline with atrial enlargement”.  My ER doc switched me to Augmentin, and my Flagyl-related adverse reactions rapidly subsided.  Flagyl significantly helped my diverticulitis, but at a horrible cost in terms of lost sleep, lost work, poor work, personal and family anxieties, and time spent at the ER.  If your doctor prescribes Flagyl, my advice is to ask him/her if there is an alternative antibiotic, especially if you have any pre-existing gastroesophageal problems.
All of my adverse events appear in the Flagyl labeling:  epigastric distress, abdominal cramping, incoordination, confusion, insomnia, a sharp, unpleasant metallic taste, dryness of the mouth, furry tongue, glossitis, stomatitis, flattening of the T-wave in electrocardiographic tracings, polyuria, a sense of pelvic pressure, convulsive seizures.  "


"For those who are having terrible leg cramps on BP medication. I had the same horrible problem to the point I was screaming my head off at times and could not walk.  It was the HCTZ DIURETIC portion of my bp med that was causing it. NOT the Losartan part.  This will be the same for any BP med that is blended with a HCTZ diuretic because Triamterene did the same thing.  Since I don't really have any medical need for the diuretic, my doctor simply wrote me a script for the Losartan without the diuretic in it. Voila!! no more leg cramps! and my bp is still under control."


"I used to have huge acnes appear on my forehead every 1-2 weeks, and I heal really slow so it sort of adds onto the scarring and disrupts the healing process. My dermatologist prescribed Epiduo and I have been using it every night for 2 months now and my skin has never been better, no acnes AT ALL! Like most of the people, when I first started using it my skin turned really dry and it burned slightly for the first 3-4 days. I'd stop for a day if it gets worse then resume the next day. But after your skin gets used to it it should be fine after. This certainly did wonders for me!"


"Tried Rozerem for the first time the other day. It definitely helped me fall asleep, and without the "heavy sedative" feelings that come along with most other drugs-  such as Ambien, Lunesta, etc. closest to a natural feeling of wanting to go to sleep, very calming, also helped with racing thoughts. The letdown of this medication was the next day...could NOT get up! Felt as though I had taken a tranquilizer. All day feeling...like I had taken a high double-dose of Ambien.  This is my experience though, unfortunately - seemed perfect at first. Everyone is different though, most will probably hopefully have a much different experience. I say try it."


"I'm 45 years old and have lived a pretty normal life except for my occasional heightened anxiety. Recently, my anxiety and panic attacks had escalated out of control. I was feeling out of touch with reality and having multiple panic attacks a day. Unfortunately for me, after 2 doses the Effexor caused mild hallucinations; light pixelating and things moving in fast motion. It was adding to my anxiety so I went off immediately and the hallucinations went away."


"Seriously, is this pill a joke? Screw Generess FE. I'm about to enter my 4th week and I've never been more miserable in my life. Let me start by saying that no pill just magically makes you gain weight, it's the increase in appetite that makes you gain weight. I'm freaking starving ALL the time no matter how full I am. I'm EXTREMELY tired. I have done nothing all week except go to work, eat, and sleep. I'm a totally different person. My boobs hurt, and I had a huge fight with my new husband. Would rather have sex never again then feel like this any longer."


"My doctor prescribed this medicine for me as I was having low painful back spasms."


"I've been down 3 surgeries in 11 months. Lost 60lbs and could not eat. I have been on Megace for 10 day's and I have gained 17 lbs. UNREAL! I have eaten $200 in groceries and have no plans to stop. MEGACE has beyond a doubt saved my life. Side effects are little to none. Dry mouth/more frequent urination/"Incredible appetite"! I am in it for the weight gain. Today I feel so good and strong, I caught myself running home from the store. "


"I never got my period regularly, but I once I started taking this I stopped getting it altogether. No joke, I gained over 50 pound in the year and change I was on this, and I can't attribute more than maybe 5 or 10 pounds to lifestyle changes. I went from an A/B cup to a D cup as well, and towards to end I was exhausted 24/7 and sleeping up to 18 hours a day. I can't say much about what changes once you stop as I've only been off of it for a week or so now. I take other medications too, and this was the first birth control pill I'd been on, so I wasn't sure at first if the birth control was the one causing all this for a bit, but I'm fairly certain it is now."


"Had diarrhea since the day I started it- how would you rate an antibiotic on its effectiveness- I wouldn't give this crap to an enemy- cost me $71 for 28 pills and I looked forward everyday to being done with them!"


"First off, I looked in here to see when it was best to take the pill. My doctor Always prescribes me one "Just in case" Whenever he give me antibiotics.... But the first thing i saw was how much people are spending on these.... There is an app called good Rx.com that I usually get coupons from for the more EXPENSIVE prescriptions BUT at ALL Walmart stores Diflucan is $4.00! PERIOD!!!!! SAME AS ANTIBIOTICS..... JUST TELL THEM DO NOT RUN YOUR INSURANCE. HOPE THAT HELPS! :)"


"I have lost 8 pounds in 1 week! I went from 212-204! I couldnt be happier!"


"It is the only insulin that gives me instant results (within 5 minutes)."


"Overall I feel that this birth control does a great job. I've been taking it for 3 years to regulate my period and prevent pregnancy with out any problems. I've never experienced any of the sides effects, or at most they were on such a small scale that I didn't notice them. The only thing I dislike is that I don't usually start my period until 3-4 sugar pills in. I don't know how common this is with other women, but that has been the case for me since I began taking it."


"I started Contrave on Monday, and it is now Saturday.  I have lost 4.8 lbs.  To me, that is absolutely amazing as I am hypothyroid and have not lost more than a pound or 2 in the last 8 years!  I am praying that this continues to work.  I want to lose 50 lbs so I can be around to watch my children grow up.  I have been so miserable for so long and felt nothing would ever help me.  I am loving this drug.  I am struggling with a few side effects: dizziness, racing heart, and trouble sleeping.  The dizziness goes away when I drink water, so I think my body is just keeping me hydrated.  The racing heart is usually when I sleep.  I will talk to my doctor about that.  All in all though, I now have hope which is more than I've had in a long time!"


"I had the Skyla IUD placed a few days ago. Don't let the negative reviews keep you from trying it. The insertion didn't last long and the worst of it felt like a pinching menstrual cramp lasting a couple seconds (once when they measure the uterus and once for insertion). I did pass out twice afterwards (I'm weak when it comes to medical things). That evening I had some cramping but some ibuprofen and a heating pad took care of it. I haven't had any further cramping since and am only spotting a little bit. I will update if anything changes but I'm glad I didn't let all of the scary reviews I read change my mind about trying it."


"I have been migraine free for over a month now. I was getting 3-5 migraines a week with a continuous headache for 5 months straight and through the heat of the summer.  The migraines stopped after just a few days on the medicines and have not came back.  Even with the change of weather and congestion, the headache is not there.  I haven't noticed any side effects but it does make me sleepy.  Helps get a good nights rest."


"I read all the bad reviews n all but everybody is different. I got mine today july 31 and I am on my period so huge plus it makes cervix little loose n  makes device easier to go in due to blood flow.I  am a Chicken on pain or blood. But no pain I felt something clamped no pain it's just like a pap smear. I did feel some pressure on cervix but it was bearable no pain. After he was done the whole meltdown came down I stood up I felt dizzy lightheaded and weak and I saw black spots n boom I was passing out. Glad I laid down. I was sweating like crazy eyes rolling back mumbling Nurse practitioner brought fan n mins later I was fine. But I always get like that when I go 2 dr office. Its normal for me I panic n anxiety hits after not before."


"My psychiatrist prescribed me this drug after my neurologist had put me on it for migraine prevention after I was on 20mg of Prozac for 15 years for depression and anxiety. I was on a low dose for my migraines so decided to give it a go. I take 100mg at night and the side effects, mainly irritability, was by far the most disturbing. I felt like I could've beaten anyone up and felt so aggressive! Told my doctor and he added Vistaril and Seroquel. This trio helped me greatly and although it did take almost 8 weeks for everything to even out, I now feel SO SO much better!! Prozac was always my go to SSRI but Nortriptyline really pulled through for me in the end since it helps prevent migraines, help my depression, and anxiety!"


"I, like many others, was having protected sex with my boyfriend when the condom broke. By the time we noticed it, it was too late. Frantic, I jumped in the shower and tried to wash off as best I could. We arrived at Walgreens less than an hour later and I took the plan B pill. For the next few days I was so queasy and was only able to dry heave. I felt a little more confident because I thought this meant that the plan B was working. However, when my period was supposed to come around on June 22nd. Turns out plan B didn't work for me, and I was 5 weeks pregnant. Currently undergoing a medication abortion from Planned Parenthood, and I can honestly say it's been one of the most painful experiences ever. I hope others have better luck..."


"Cialis gave me a strong erection and ejaculation, my wife also said satisfied, but then I suffer from muscular pain around my buttock (near hip joints) for few days now. I have a mild erectile dysfunction."


"I have a similar experience to other reviewers. I had my gallbladder removed in 2002. And have had irritable bowel syndrome for 15 years, with each year it seems to get worse. I couldn't tolerate spending 1/2 my day in the bathroom. It was so awful that I looked for where the bathroom was at a restaurant before I ordered, just so I knew where to go when the meal was done. When the stomach cramps and the, "oh poop, I gotta poop" feeling came on. By the 2nd day of taking Welchol, it started working for me. I only went to the bathroom once, the entire day! For me, that was a miracle. I still try not to eat trigger foods or drink coffee (I LOVE coffee, but my stomach thinks otherwise) But at least I can live a normal life again, something I had forgotten about."


"I was on Loestrin for a year and I loved how light my periods were and how much less my cramps were. Within a month of not taking it, I could tell what a difference it made. My acne didn't really change much. I will say though that it did mess with my mental status. At random, I would get depressed for little to no reason. Then at my most recent doctor appointment, I was shocked to realized I had gained around 20 lbs. I had become well aware of my constant bloated stomach but I had no idea I had gained so much. I loved how light Loestrin made my cycles but I won't take it due to all this weight retention. I've even been working out more than before I started the pill!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Like many others I was given this preparation for a colonoscopy.  The instructions directed me to take 1 x 1 litre mix the previous day, and the second 1 x 1 litre mix on the morning of the examination.  The taste was salty but bearable, I added orange squash to improve the flavour of the lemon flavoured mix, I think any addition is guaranteed to improve the flavour as it is bland and salty, refrigerating it also helped to take the edge off the taste.

The first 1 x 1 litre started working after approx 25 mins, but it took approx 4.5 hours before I could comfortably / safely without fear of needing a sprint to loo, go to bed to sleep.

The second dose started working immediately, approx 5 minutes ..... It certainly does it's job!!"


"I am lying here wide awake with my vagina itching and burning and now I find out that in not the only one.

Holy crap! I've used this product 6 or so times before but I never had THIS happen...and while I'm glad I'm not alone I can't wait for this feeling to END.  I want to rip my vagina out right now."


"Hello, I  am coming off of suboxone. It has been 24 hours since the shot was administered. I feel great. Now rewind... at 1 pm  I got the shot. By 2pm  the withdrawals kicked in. I wasn't  vomiting  or anything but was very sleepy and dizzy. I went to bed. By 6 am the next morning I felt 60% better. I got up had a cup of coffee, and felt great. By 1pm (24 hours) I  am about 90% percent  better. I would just  like to give people some encouragement. The reviews  on here scared me as well. I tapered myself down before getting the shot...and I feel so far so good! It can be done! You do not  have to sit home and withdrawal for weeks and even months. Everyone's  body is different but I highly recommend  this!"


"I'm a firefighter/paramedic and I've been on Nuvigil for about 4 days now and I love it. I have never been a fan of taking medications but when between working 24 hour shifts, school full time and my 3 year old daughter I found myself exhausted all the time. I started drinking energy drinks and they worked but after awhile they got expensive so I started taking caffeine pills. After awhile my body needed the caffeine everyday but I didn't necessarily need it every day which I didn't like. I also didn't like my heart racing with the caffeine. Since starting Nuvigil I haven't had caffeine at all and I didn't have much of a withdrawal phase. It has had all the positive effects for me like a stimulant with none of the negative."


"My number was 240 with a bad ratio. Now its around 140 with a great ratio."


"Since starting chemotherapy my dr. A specialist at victoria hospital in london has put me on emend. Thank goodness the company sponsors people like myself who would otherwise not be able to afford these 3 wonderful capsules. My nausea and vomiting still exist but far less than if I had not had the capsules available. Once again thank you merck frost."


"Works very well for anxiety. Stay far away from any alcohol consumption while taking this medicine."


"I must admit that some of the things that people experience from this pill is scary.  ONE THING TO KNOW IS JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS EXPERIENCE DOESNT MEAN YOU WILL. ALWAYS TRY IT YOURSELF. DIFFERENT BODIES HAVE DIFFERENT REACTIONS. I have been on this birth control for about 4 months now and I love it. I dont have mood swings at all I am very calm at all times. I did not used to be. I dont have vaginal dryness, yeast infections, UTI's, or anything else that people are saying besides breast tenderness. It only seems to be tender at night. I have not gained any weight. I think my breast are getting bigger which is a plus to me. I don't have acne like I used to. My periods are very light now."


"It seems to be helping, but still some depression remains.  I have Bipolar Type 1, so I have struggled with mania, hypomania, mixed mood, and depression.  I do notice I'm more "even," which is what the medicine intends to do.  I take a combination of meds, so it could be difficult to tell which medicine is doing what.  All I know is that I have no side effects, which is good, because I requested a mood stabilizer that will not make me gain weight.  Overall, I'm satisfied with the way things are going (thank goodness, because Bipolar could be hell)."


"Joint pain in elbow."


"I am new to this world of taking an antidepressant, specifically Citalopram. I was prescribed 10 mg. I started with 5mg for 4 days to see how I would respond per psych NP's orders. I am small in stature and under 100 lbs. I had a succession of traumatic and stressful major life events occur all in a matter of 6 months. The result has led me to have debilitating anxiety and panic attacks. I know I have lived with undiagnosed mild depression and OCD tendencies and anxiety for fear of being labeled but these last months broke me. I take Ativan .5 to 1 mg as needed only for sleep. I am going on 2 weeks of Citalopram at 10 mg and am noticing small improvements. Does anyone have any experiences similar to mine? Suggestions or input appreciated."


"I've been taking this birth control since March of 2017 and it's worked great for me so far. No pregnancies, no side affects. I absolutely love it. I still get my period during the placebo week but my cramps are way more manageable, and my period is super light and only last 2-3 days, when before it was 4-5 days and horrible horrible cramps. I've always had clear skin but I do notice that the first two weeks of a new pack, my skin is glowing! Towards the last week of the active pills I get my regular period about to start pimples. Sometimes I notice a slight increased irritability but I can't completely attribute that to just this birth control. I've had horrible mood swings on a past medication and haven't gotten even an ounce of that."


"I reluctantly started taking this for insomnia. Because I put up a fuss about it, my MD started me on 25mg at bedtime (half of a 50mg tablet.)

So far, so good. I go to sleep, I stay asleep.

What a gift."


"These reviews are total shams. The successful quit rates for people using Chantix, the patch and nicorette gum combined is lower than quitting cold turkey. Notice how every review follows the same formula?
1) State that you smoked heavily for decades
2) Claim that Chantix made you forget that you ever enjoyed smoking... it was EASY!
3) Neglect to mention all the side effects- including an alarmingly high rate of suicidal thoughts

The only proven method is cold turkey. Wanna drag out your physical cravings for months? Go on the patch, get less nicotine than your body wants, be in mild withdrawal constantly, and have ZERO to show for all that discomfort 2 months later. Cold turkey? 72 hours and the rest is all psychological."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

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


"Just started taking this 3 months ago after being taken or Norg-
fe due to a few cases of spotting and 2 cases of 3 week long periods and lets just say I'd rather have the periods back again. I haven't had my period since I started Blisovi but every now and then I still get the killer cramps. It also caused me to gain about 5 pounds along with some severe acne or breakouts on my arms, shoulders, back, and even legs. Do not recommend at all."


"I took Suprep three years ago, and now again yesterday and today.  On a positive note, it's good to be able to drink most of the liquid as plain water.  It also worked without cramping.  I want to thank the person on this site that suggested dividing the 16 oz. cup of Suprep and liquid into four portions.  Even though I was drinking the same amount, it seemed easier tackling each smaller portion at a time.  I kept hard mints handy to suck on between drinks and it helped.  On the downside, I did experience some nausea for a few hours.  Someday I hope to just be able to take a pill for the prep."


"I had seriousl Rosecea that I allowed to go undiagnosed/untreated for years.  Until the point it effected my eyes and then I knew I had to do something. I have been using this cream for 5 days now in addition to a sulfa wash, doxycycline daily and CreaVe moisturizer. The results are slow (but my case was extreme so keep that in mind) but I'm starting to notice improvements in the texture of my skin as well as decreased redness and swelling. I use it 2 times daily. My advice is be patient with it. Don't expect overnight results but I think you will be pleased after strict continued use within a week or so."


"I have been taking phenobarbital since the 1980's. I tried many other meds first and the side effects were terrible. Finally, my neurosurgeon decided to try phenobarbitol. It made me very drowsy at first. I take it at bedtime. It has worked for me for decades. Every time I see a doctor I get the same old "that's an old drug. We should change it". NO THANK YOU. Insurance company wants me to try "step therapy". They don't know what they are doing. You can't just switch these meds. You have to wean off. I pay full price. Thank goodness it doesn't break the bank.

Great medication, even if it is old."


"I'm moving through my second month of these pills after having tried Depo-Provera, which I hated, no sex drive, extremely mental... Seasonique, which cause teenage-like acne, wacky spotting...

I like Junel Fe so far, I didn't know the brown pills are iron, thinking they were just sugar I didn't take them and suffered low iron headaches, this month I'll take them.  My period was quick and light, minimal cramping, not even bad enough to take pain killers.  I do have a metallic taste in my mouth that started recently. I hope that goes away."


"I was originally on loestrin 24 fe, CVS switched me to junel which was the generic brand. At first my body was doing all right with it, but I began to get very depressed and I would wake up have terrible panic attack where if felt like I couldn't breathe. I lost my sex drive too, I felt Asexual. I got off junel and took a month off. Now I am on viorele which I started two days ago so it is too soon to tell, hopefully this works well with my body. Junel was the first pill that I spotted with. I started taking birth control due to extremely painful periods where I would throw up."


"I have been on BC since the 9th grade. I started to read forums and saw that being on  BC, for over 5 years could lead to abnormal paps. I decided to remove it to see if I lose the 30lbs I gained and with a change to an organic diet will reverse my precancerous  cells and if I'll lose weight too. I never had a period, no cramps, no headaches,  no mood swings. My only issue is the precancerous cells that are in a mild stage and haven't  reversed in almost two years. Other than the weight gain I loved the nexplanon."


"I have never stuck to one birth control before because I have always had bad experiences with side effects. I am on my first month now and I feel so ill. My nausea is extreme, I have had a headache for weeks and I'm very off balance. The only thing that has changed in my life is starting this birth control. I am going to give it another month and see what happens."


"Not perfect but a great solution to redness.

Read some of the blogs and online comments for use options. I started with a low dose and ramped up. It definitely helps me."


"I was shocked how fast this worked.  I've been a long distance runner for years but have gradually gained weight thanks to menopause and occasional binge eating.  Had to stop running (or even walking) for 8 months because of ankle tendon tear and gained even more weight, plus many of my joints became very stiff and achy - especially in the mornings.  My ankle finally healed, and I tried to return to simple walking - I was in constant pain when I moved, ankles, knees, lower back.  Ibuprofen bothered my stomach.  I tried SAMe (a 400mg tablet) and 3 hours later the pain was 80% gone.  I've continued it (400mg twice a day) for 2 months now and am walking again.  Added benefit - it's helped me lose weight (no more feelings like I want to binge)."


"I have struggled with anxiety for years, and I've improved Obsessive Compulsive Ddisorder in a way that would increase my quality of life. I've been taking 50 to 250 milligrams Zoloft for the course of almost 7 years, and I've been getting 5 to 8 hours of sleep everyday. I was getting from C's and D's in school, to mostly A's and B's, and my memory was becoming crystal clear.

When I've decided to go down to 25mg, I've began to experience more anxiety, more depression, more insomnia, more OCD-like symptoms. Even if I had a good day under 25mg of Zoloft, I wasn't confident about myself and didn't like the person that I was becoming. I'm telling you, this medication does work to treat your anxiety, it's just it takes time to work."


"I loved Gianvi. I took it for about 5 years, and noticed minimal side effects. I feel like birth control pills really help stabilize people who have hormonal mood problems to begin with; but if they are fine to begin with, they throw it off balance and cause side effects. I was not fine to begin with. Very irregular, heavy, painful periods, hormonal acne, and PMDD. Gianvi stabilized me. One thing I did notice was my hair growth pretty much stopped for some reason, which was weird. But that was the only side effect. Cleared my skin."


"I'm taking contrave which contains zyban. Immediately my cravings were dramatically reduced. I was completely shocked because I've been trying to quit for 30 years without success. I'd always get the most unbearable tension headaches and give up. Finally I asked my doctor for help and she prescribed this. It's been almost a month now and I've only smoked a few times. It tastes horrible now and I'm not craving them at all now unless I get really stressed out. But when I do, I don't enjoy it anymore. I encourage you to try it. If you get side effects reduce the dosage til your body adjusts. Increase very gradually. Hope this helps! Good luck!"


"An amazing medicine to give your a break from pain, soreness and improve your confidence"


"Felt more attentive and helped take away depression I had lived with for years."


"I have suffered with anxiety dies order, PTSD, and OCD for as long as I can remember so my psychiatrist put me on Clonazepam. After taking it for 2 months I noticed I was angry all the time, I had no patience and had irritable and hostile thoughts. It never really helped curb the OCD or the intrusive thoughts/worries. I immediately stopped taking it and was switched to Luvox which has worked wonders for my anxiety and OCD. Would never go back to this medication."


"When I first started take Sprintec, I had mild headaches for the first 3 months. I was on Sprintec for 1 year and had an insatiable appetite the entire time. I did, however, love that my periods got MUCH lighter, easier to track, and my horrible PMS pretty much disappeared. I got married and stopped taking it because my husband and I are ready for babies!"


"I have been taking pills since 1997 started with Vicodin and graduated to heroin, roxicodone and Oxycontin. Been to prison twice because of my addiction. Came home stayed clean a year then started again. In August 2010 I was eating 100 30mg roxis a day. It's hard to believe but true. I went to a doctor and he put me on Subutex 4 a day down to 1/4 a day in a 5 day period. Felt okay but little chilly, cold. This is a miracle medicine for anyone who is using. Please try it."


"I am not sure when I contacted HCV - I found out I had it through a life insurance screening in 2009.  I was 38 at the time, and having genotype 1, I was very discouraged about having any treatment options.  It took some time to get Harvoni approved through my insurance, but so very thankful I was finally accepted.  I am currently on day 34 of 84, just found out that my last blood work showed NOT DETECTED!!!  As far as side effects, I have had insomnia which I have been taking a sleep aide for, and very, very fatigued...all I can do to get out of bed and to work some days.  I have found that taking a mid day nap has helped a bunch.  So thankful for Harvoni!!!"


"Had insomnia for years, due to anxiety and mild panic attacks, also complicated by dystonic tremor in my neck, head constantly twitches, even when lying down.  On a good night was getting 5 or 6 hours broken sleep.  Tried several meds, nothing helped.  Doctor suggested quetiapine, I was a bit reluctant as its such a strong drug but desperate enough to give a try. I'm finally sleeping through every night!  Very constipated when I first started but came right after a few weeks.  Also wake up feeling groggy but am fine once I'm up.   No problems with weight gain.  Using 25mg but thinking about cutting down to 12.5mg.  Love being able to sleep!"


"The product gave me extreme rashes and my face was itchy for the next couple of days. My whole face was extremely swollen, it is possible I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide."


"Been on this birth control for about almost 2 years. At first yes I felt different but that's every birth control. It takes time to adjust to your body. Any doctor will tell you to wait 3 months or so and see how you feel before switching. Anyway, I feel fine now, my periods are regular and I don't have terrible cramps. My boobs grew and that's about it. Stress I've always had and anxiety I've always had, I don't think it's linked to birth control in anyway."


"Reviews said that this tasted like salty cherries. Being the salt fanatic I am, I thought I'd enjoy this concoction. It smelled pleasant and looked like water which further tricked me into thinking it wouldn't be bad at all. WRONG!!! The first gulp I took was torturous, sending a cringe down my entire body and leaving the worst taste in my mouth and making me dread the rest of it. I added a straw, which made it more bearable, but I also cut up some lemons and took a big ol' bite of it after each chug to erase the unbearable bitterness. 2nd round of this, I almost couldn't bring myself to drink it. I added lemonade mix, didn't help, and was making me gag. But it emptied me out GREAT which is why I give it a 6"


"I used to have mild panic attacks, was always depressed, and just felt like I had the world on my back all the time. My doctor prescribed me 20mg of citalopram and it works good. My side affects are I'm usually tired throughout the day, I get the shakes on and off, consistent yawning, skin itches a little and a bit of a bowel problem. Other than that, I have found my moods to be much better, my depression is not as bad and I'm more up beat. Definitely, would recommend."


"29years old.  Kidney stone dropped me to the floor, in tears, on my first day of work @ a great new job.  Manager had to drive me to ER.  Not a good look in a blue collar line of work.
Literally threw up on myself from the pain.
Turned down morphine due to past narcotic dependency.
Toradol saved me that day, but stones not gone.
Got CT done, "One 5mm, two 2mm".
Flomax for past three weeks.
Just passed an 8mm stone....laughing & joyously celebrating!  Haha
I've watched my father suffer through a dozen stones. He never took flomax.  I know that what I just passed should not have come out that easily/painlessly."


"I was on Skyla for 8-9 months. Insertion was painful but the cramping subsided within a day or so. Skyla is advertised to reduce the frequency of your periods but mine actually became more frequent (every 3 weeks) and lasted longer(8-9 days) than when I was on the pill (3-5 days). Also, it caused my skin to become very oily and I developed cystic acne. I never had an issue with acne until I started Skyla. The only benefit I saw was not having to take a pill every day. After having Skyla removed and going back to my BC pill, my skin and periods went back to normal within 4-6 weeks. Removal wasn't nearly as painful as insertion. I'm very bummed Skyla didn't work for me--I was so ready to be done taking a pill every day."


"5mg did not keep my numbers down.  10 mg works wonders however I am dizzy everyday on 10 mg."


"Have been on combination of 60mg
Cymbalta and 15mg of remeron for 2 years,
The latter for insomnia, which I had when
On only Cymbalta for GAD. This has reduced
My symptoms almost completely.
I do dream frequently,but nothing that
Causes a problem. I do move about while
Sleeping and have fallen out of bed on occasion.
Pillows on the floor eliminated the danger"


"I am twenty years old and have been on birth control since I was 15. I have been on Tri-Cyclen, Yaz, Alesse, Depo-provera and Mirena! In five years, I was desperate to find something that worked for me. I had symptoms from weight gain, mood swings, acne, debilitating cramps, and even serious depression. Trying Nuva-ring was my last hope. I LOVE IT! It has not given me any mood swings, it has BOOSTED my sex drive! My periods are ridiculously light, 2 days long, and I have no cramps or PMS. Amazing. I know every girl's body is different but I totally recommend Nuva-ring!"


"I love it. No carbs and I work out. If you are not willing to change your life and just take the meds when you stop taking the meds you will gain twice as much back.  Its a life style change not a magic pill...."


Osteolytic Bone Lesions of Multiple Myeloma

"I started on Zometa about 3 years ago, at first it was every three months but over the past year I have it every 4 weeks. The side effects vary almost every time, sometimes it's aching bones or muscle pain and I usually feel weary to the point that I stay in bed all day, the effects usually hit me on the second day after having the infusion and only last for one day. Today is Sunday and I had the infusion on Friday so as I write this I'm feeling pretty rotten, but come tomorrow I'll be feeling much better so it doesn't worry me at all...and it's a lot better than having my bones snapping just because I've lifted something that's too heavy."


"I had a scary adverse reaction with Ativan. I was given 1 mg in the hospital orally for the very bad anxiety I was having. About an hour and a half later I began getting the most strangest, scariest hallucinations. Both visual and sensory. I don't know if this was an allergic reaction but I never had this problem with any other benzodiazepine. Please be cautious with Ativan in particular, because it altered the functioning of my brain (it wore off the next day)."


"I always read reviews about meds but never share my expierence. SO,

I am 22 years old and have always struggled with depression and anxiety, but this past May (May of 2016) I ended up admitted myself to an in-patient psychiatric ward due to suicidal thoughts which led me to cutting myself for the first time in my life. The psychiatrist decided to put me on venlafaxine 75 mg 1x a day.. The only side effects I had was dry mouth, minor insomnia, and a little weigh gain; besides that, I have not experienced any horrible side effects like I have with so many other medications. I take venlafaxine for depression and generalized anxiety. I take 75mg 2x a day now and I am calm, collected, and happier than ever. I plan to stay on this forever."


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


"The tast is TERRIBLE!!!!!!! The worst taste ever I take it with juice only to try an avoid the taste other than the aweful taste the medicine really works! It clears up the smell and everything very quickly I didn't have any side effects not even  nausea"


"I have been on this medication for eight years except when I was pregnant. I have agoraphobia, and panic attacks. Without this medication I wouldn't be able to raise my children or enjoy my marriage because I would have daily panic attacks and would never leave the house. I leave the house more. But now I have different insurance and my new doctor doesn't want me to take it so I am now looking for a different doctor!
"


"Ultram-50 relieved my neck pain (arthritis) and made me much more alert by removing the fog of pain, instead of the "drowsy" side effect mentioned in the literature.  However, when I was switched to generic Tramadol, I experienced severe itching all over.  "


"I have been on and off this medicine for a year or so and what I've found is that when I stay on it and take it like I'm supposed to, I lose weight and eat healthier.  When  go off I eat horribly but it's honestly more of me going off my diet so I don't bother with the Contrave.  Now I have been taking it faithfully since February 1st and eating low carb and I'm down over 25 lbs.  I think it does really work and it helps me make better choices.  My main reason for this review is to let all of the "newbies" know that the side effects will go away.  I felt horrible for the first few weeks as I was building up my dosage but I have absolutely no side effects now.  Start very slowly and gradually build up to the full dose"


"I've been on the Xulane patch for a year now. When I first started it everything was great. My periods got lighter, I had a moderate libido, I wasn't nauseous at all and had almost zero negative effects. After about four/five months of use I started getting morning sickness after having my period and putting the patch back on. Now I also have unusual chest pain, back and neck pain all in one and my mood swings are crazy. my periods have also gotten heavier and my cramps worse than when I first started. I tried switching to the progestin only pill but because of the dramatic hormone level change, I was not able to use this very long. Five stars for Xulane because it's done its job at not getting me pregnant."


"I've had Skyla since July 2015, and I really love it! Insertion was painful, but it was over quickly. I took the day and the day after off of work and just slept through the pain. My periods are much lighter now, and I don't cramp at all. I've gained 10ish pounds and my skin is breaking out, but that could be unrelated as I am stressed out right now! I highly recommend Skyla."


"I was given this drug after a root canal and temp crown placement.  I wasn't having any symptoms of infection (pain/fever) prior to procedure, so it seemed a little strange to be given this after, but figured dentist knew what she was doing.  300mg every 6hrs (4 X / day) for 2 weeks. stomach pain/diarrhea started after 24hrs. I called the dentist asking for something else and was told I didn't have to take it anymore if it was causing me issues.  ??? WHAT-why was I even given this extreme antibiotic to begin with?  was on this med for 3 days and 24hr after i'm still having bad digestive issues. feel like it has caused an issue where there wasn't one originally.  I will never take this ever again, just hope the damage isn't permanant"


"Made me feel totally disconnected from social interaction,life,etc. its like it closed my head in."


"I have been experiencing headaches and before using Orthocept I rarely got headaches, I've also experienced dark spotting for two weeks leading up to my period. I'm very moody now and am very easily frustrated. I get tired as early as 8 at night now (before the pill I could stay up until 2 a.m. If I even went to sleep) and am no longer a morning person. I'm hungry more and am gaining weight but luckily in the right places. My breasts are noticeably growing. My libido has also increased and I'm not pregnant so it's working ok."


"As a flight attendant, I won't leave home without it. It's the only thing that will clear up tough congestion in my ears and sinuses that I sometimes experience on the plane."


"I've been using the immediate release form of Oxycodone for many years frequently in combination with codeine for chronic back pain.  For me the combination is more effective than either alone.  I try to take the minimum dose necessary to control my pain, which for me is about 5 to 10 mg Oxy plus 60 mg codeine 3 or 4 times a day, depending on my level of physical activity.   As mentioned by others, tolerance and dependence or addiction (btw, not the same thing) are the main problems."


"Allopurinol works extremely well for me. I am on 300 mg per day and it seems to do the trick. However, my one beef is that sometimes the pills will suddenly stop working and I have to buy a new batch. I am guessing this is because of humidity changes or temperature changes, but it is annoying. For example, about half the times I fly somewhere I find on my arrival that the pills stop working; I carry the pills in my pocket or in my carry-on while in the plane, but even so, they stop functioning. I am guessing it is the change in humidity, but who knows?"


"I started Triumeq last month and I am happy to say that there is no side affects with me at this time. I feel better and have no joint pain. I recommend this drug for all that have to live with HIV. My doctor is the best for putting me on this. I have had HIV for 20 years now and can't wait for more advancements to destroy this virus."


"This birth control is probably the best one. It's the first one I tried and I love it. No side effects AT ALL. I am exactly the same as when I was not on it. I have now been on it for 2 months and it has been perfect. Definitely recommend it!"


"I currently take Zonegran --I love love love it!!!---

Prior to this I took Depakote--for me this drug sucked-- I was lethargic, my hair fell out in clumps I went from weighing 225lbs to 389lbs  and I developed Sleep apnea.  I was taking 500 mg of Depakote four times per day---2000mg of this stuff-- I had several seizures in my sleep one where I fractured my ankle on the bed frame. The weight was the worst I could not control it. I wish I could submit a picture of myself while being on this stuff. After I got off this drug I lost 160lbs. My dad saw the b4 pic and didn't know who I was. Maybe this works for some, but not for me I would never take this again!!!"


"I have lost 30lbs on this medication. I started on the low does for 2 weeks then started the high does. It is a bit expensive, insurance does not cove this and it went up to $141 from $131. Make sure you get the rebate card/ coupon. There are some side effects. My hands or feet will start to tingle randomly, anything carbonated.. forget about drinking it, it all tastes flat. My doctor told me it will change the taste of chocolate but right now chocolate still tastes the same! I don't crave sweets as much when I take the medication month after month. I haven't had it in about 2 months and I let go. Gained some weight but I'm back on it. I highly recommend working out with this medication and eating healthy and you will see a huge difference."


"I still have flare ups during the day but there are times where my skin is completely free from any redness, especially about an hour after it's applied.  It losses its effectiveness after about 6 hrs for me. After the tube is open I've tried to stretch it out past 30 days but it's effective is not as good when the tube is first opened I've found. I remember it taking a few weeks when I first started using it along with a topical cream at night for my skin to start to change.  My script ran out and I went without it for a week and I hated not having it. My skin burned and hurt again when I stopped using it for that time.  Although it doesn't completely eliminate systems it sure does help and I will not go a day without it."


"Tastes so nasty made me want to throw up even more."


"This is a comment about my own use, this stuff is a joke because the box only comes with 6 single shot nasal sprays, meanwhile during a cluster period I'll get from 3 to 6 excruciatingly painful Cluster headaches in a 24 hour period. Box will cure Basically 6 headaches, which lasts no more than 3 or 4 days during cluster period and that's while trying to conserve. The problem is most insurance will only pay for 1 box per month which leaves me missing work and banging my head against the wall for the other 25-27 days of the month. I don't know who made this medicine and why they would market it for clusters knowing that when people are in a cluster attack period get up to 6 or 7 "Suicide Headaches" per day. Terrible overall medicine."


"I've been on this pill for almost 2 months and it's given me horrible headaches. I never get headaches. I've tried taking Advil and Tylonal but nothing seems to help. I've had large blood clots and spotting. This will most likely be my last month as it's not worth the side effects. My doctor prescribed it for endometriosis and heavy periods. I'd rather have my 12 day heavy periods than constant headaches, huge blood clots and spotting."


"Lexapro SAVED MY MARRIAGE...to my husband of one year. After a few bad years of terrible MOOD SWINGS, verbal and Physical abuse[he battered his kids mother years ago and was jailed], irrational behavior, defiance, his obsessive *porn* addiction, lying about $$/secretive personality.. I am finally able to say that this medicine has CHANGED him and he is NOT a MONSTER anymore..His obsessive nature is GONE. I cried the first week he got on it and thanked God over and over..We tried two rounds of counseling combined with going to  church and the rage wouldnt go away so a relative of his suggested he take Celexa because he had the same disorder..He was put on Lexapro instead..I am VERY HAPPY now.."


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I am 19 years old and I've had this H Pylori for almost 2 years . My doctor put me on the treatment and I started yesterday morning after breakfast . Everytime I take it I get nauseous and feel pain in my stomach. Well today I feel like I have absolutely no energy and I'm sitting at work falling asleep and still nauseous. Is this normal or should I call my doctor. I've never called off nor been late to my job but I do not feel up to working today and I don't know why I'm feeling like this. Help please"


"Started the take this medicine for a tongue condition (Geographical tongue). I read it lowers my immune system and it definitely does. I only have one more day of it thank goodness. I feel horrible. My head hurts, my eyes are watery, & I constantly feel achey. I don't really see a difference in my tongue either. Just want to be off this medicine! Let's hope the withdrawals aren't bad either."


"Well I have the 7 day cream plus applicator and as I read the direction it also warned me that I may experience an increase on burning and some mild cramping while using this medication but after the 7days if I'm still experiencing those symptoms then call my doctor . So with that being said I already knew what to expect YES I had the burning but it did not last all day or anything like that only when I inserted for about 5 minutes it actually made my Vagina feel so much better plus they tell you use the cream as well to put on your vagina to relieve the irritation that's going on around your vulva ."


"This medicine has saved my life ten-times-over, given me a quality of life on par with others and above all else allowed me to succeed. I have had panic disorder
since childhood and wasn't prescribed Xanax until age 23. Now I can do anything I want, panic and anxiety free. The sky is the limit really. This is medicine can save lives, the perfect freedom gift."


"I am 14, and I started using Doryx about a month ago. It hasn't worked for me, actually within the first few weeks my acne got worst, bigger, redder, and more painful pimples on my face.  In the dermatologist's office he said if this doesn't work in a month give me a call and we will give you something else. So I called him today, and he tells me to use it for another month. Do you really think I want my acne to get worse. NO! I was skeptical so I got online. Some reviews say it worked instantly, others say it took months, and some even say it never worked. I guess I will keep using it for another month, but if it doesn't clear my skin I will go back to my dermatologist."


"After being on Lexapro for 2 weeks, I felt like a new woman."


"I love the transdermal patches. Very convenient weekly application and virtually eliminates the ups and downs I experienced with the pill form of clonidine. Tiredness, fatigue, dry eyes are a small price to pay for good blood pressure control."


"This medicine can be very dangerous and send you into Serotonin Syndrome. I ask everyone out there to please know the symptoms of Serotonin Syndrome and report to you nearest Emergency Room Immediately if you are having symptoms."


"I was prescribed 20mg Celexa and 0.5mg of Xanax, first day I took both as directed, slept for an hour and a half and once I woke I had a panic attack for the next hour or so.  The next day I took just the Celexa, slept for an hour and a half again, this time the panic attack was much worse, dizzy, felt like getting sick, come close to calling 911. It finally subsided and went to bed only to lay there wide awake, felt out of it all day.

Dr said to stop taking it, prescribed Paxil since I've had success with it before."


"I have never experience any hope of medication to assist in the health before and after researching I thought the product looked ok to try but I was so wrong. It did work after 14 hours but throughout the night I was woken up by cramps and hot sweats. The cramps are worse than a menstrual cycle and this may be to much information but I almost passed out right before my BM and during felt I was going to vomit all over the place and my body feels extremely weak. For getting the medication for sensitive stomachs it sure doesn't feel like it was meant for me, very disappointed and threw the entire package away."


"After taking this I felt queazy and lack of energy."


"It tastes like liquid peppermint bubble gum."


"Love it. Worked the first time"


"I started taking Phentermine (Adipex P) on February 5, 2010 and as of today I have lost 5 pounds. I am so excited to finally see something that can help me reach my weight loss goals. The only things that I do not like is not sleeping well at night and waking up at the crack of dawn, and the nausea. I am not a good water drinker so having the dry mouth encourages me to drink water to satisfy my thirst. My starting weight was 213 and I want to reach my goal of 145, which was my weight before all my children. I only exercise three days a week right now and my eating could be better. So when I get completely on the right track with exercise and nutrition I have faith that I will reach my goal by summer."


"I literally want to kiss the person who invented Linzess!! It saved my life from feeling miserable from constipation. It truly is a miracle drug. I only now take it once or twice a week now, but it's certainly the price to feel good again! Thank you a billion times!"


"It's day 3 of the 5mg and honestly have never felt my body ache like this before. I have thrown up all day, can't keep anything down. And I'm so weak I can barely hold my son. I found this forum trying to find out what is going on with me right now and if this medication is the reason. It definitely is. I feel betrayed by my Dr."


"Over 10 years ago I took Lotronex for severe IBS with diarrhea. That condition had crippled me so that I could not leave the house without taking an antidiarrheal and a motion sickness medication. That was to just get out the door. I had to know the location of every restroom in every store, on every road. You get the picture. I had no social life because I didn't dare go anywhere with this condition. I had been reading about meds that might help with the IBS and had taken several at various times but they all made me sick. I did some research on Lotronex when it first came out and asked my PCP if he would prescribe it for me. The FIRST night I took it, 99% of my symptoms were gone. Within a week or two I finally felt normal and alive again"


"I have tried it twice already. It did not speed up the healing process both times. It takes 10 days with or without Abreva. Waste of money."


"I have been on Lexapro for almost two weeks now, my depression has gotten better but unfortunately it causes me to have problems in bed.  I am male 26 years old, my libido is the same, for some reason shortly after starting this medication I cannot climax sexually.  Paxil was similar but I could still finish. I am planning on getting off this medication as fast as I can."


"This is one horrible drug.  I was given this to help with insomnia as I weened off Clonazepam. I am already on blood pressure medication and the first week I ended up in ER twice with blood pressure reading up near 200, hyperactive, blurred vision, and the shakes.  My pressure has continued to roller coaster all over the board for the past two weeks. My regular doctor and cardiologist didn't seem to care so I switched and went to a different health provider.  He now has me tapering me off the Tarazadone and is confident my blood pressure will return to normal."


"I've been on brintellix for about 4 weeks now, my doctor had me cut the pill in half and take it with my 100mg of Pristiq. I feel that this medicine has cut the bad days down from five days to 3 so its working. I haven't had any side effects at all."


"Like most people, I was extremely nervous about the procedure to get this birth control inserted. However, I was so done having to take an oral contraceptive everyday and just wanted something that was less of a hassle. After discussing different options with my OBGYN, we decided on NEXPLANON. It only took a week from talking with my doctor before the actual procedure. I had watched multiple youtube videos on the process and was extremely nervous. My doctor did an excellent job talking me through everything he did and I honestly didn't feel a thing. It was so quick and easy! I didn't have any bruising or side effects after the insertion. Its been a little over a month and nothing! Its awesome."


"I was prescribed the metronidazole vaginal gel for bacterial vaginitis. They have me using the gel before bed for 5 days. Tonight will be my 4th night of use. So far the only side effects I have noticed are a very think, white discharge and menstrual like cramps and discomfort in my pelvic area. I also have had a slight decrease in my appetite. "


"Great temporary relief from plantar fasciitis.  Suffered with heel pain for 6 months. Was prescribed Prednisone for a severe chest cold, to help with breathing. Next day, heel pain was gone.  Had about a week supply, and had no heel pain for a week. About three days after stopping, heel pain returned. It is NOT a cure, but a much welcomed temporary relief.  All tabs were 20mg.  Three the first day, two the second day, then one per day for 5 days.  Awesome relief."


"I was on Linzess using it only time from time as it caused severe bloating and diarrhea. I was skipping doses and was constipated then. It always required a decision should I take a pill today or not.

For the last 2 months I am using Trulance and it is perfect. I am taking it in the morning and forgetting. It just works! Smooth and nice. I already forgot what diarrhea is! I feel like my life is changed"


"I have been using restasis single use vials for years and they have definitely helped my post lasik dry eyes--eye doc confirms corneas healthier, no dry patches.  I was using the single use vials, using each one twice as everyone does, with no problems.  I decided I'd try the multidose vials.  I'd make the same comments as others--they are hard to dispense, dispense more than you need, and will not last a month, let alone 45 days, which makes them more than twice as expensive as the vials.  We will see if Allergan keeps its promise to keep making the vials, as they will obviously increase profits with the multi use bottles."


"I have been taking Xanax since 2003 and I absolutely love it. I have a social anxiety disorder it makes me extremely nervous to be around large groups of people, even my friends. When I don't have my Xanax, I'm no fun to be around and I have high levels of anxiety. Not fun. Bottom line, Xanax really has saved my life. There were times when I was suicidal and without it, I may not be here. I would recommend it to anyone who needs it."


"I have been using Verdeso in conjunction with another foam spray on my forehead, chin and cheeks. It made a huge impact on a red rush I had between my eye and my nose. It is almost gone by now, and I started the treatment less than two weeks ago. I would say that within a week or less one could see a major improvement in the way the skin looks. I use something else for the hands (a form of eczema) and its also amazing. "


"I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago and have been suffering with hot flashes, tired, no energy and lots of other symptoms. Went to my doctor and he did not want to give me any HRT but I could not cope anymore with some of the hot flashes tiredness no energy and numerous other symptoms so decided to go back to my doctor and ask again for something to help me this time he has prescribed me Premarin. Its early days yet but already my hot flashes are starting to subside seems to be starting to help great to at last get a tablet to help I am very pleased with the Premarin and no side effects."


"Well let me share my experience. When I got Mirena the first day it did hurt a little bit but not as bad as having a baby. It's been almost a year since I got Mirena and I have gained about 20 pounds. I feel horrible and the mood swings are really bad. "


"When I took them I was extremely tired from working all night and day.. doing a double shift and I took one 30mg pill and I was wide awake in about no more that 15 minutes.."


"I had been taking this for a really long time and it worked....for a while. I take 60 mg and it seems to be doing nothing now. I was just prescribed a booster and I really hope it works. I am miserable I have moderate to severe intrusional thoughts."


"works great"


"I got the Nexplanon July of 2014 due to my previous IUD (Mirena) getting lodged into one of my ovaries and needing to get it removed. Before that, I had tried all different kinds of birth control pills, ending up either getting sick, forgetting to take them, or too expensive.
The first six months were great; periods regular and no noticeable side effects. After six months, though, I began experiencing drastic mood swings and waves of depression. My period disappeared for about a year, and I began gaining weight rapidly. Now 2 years in, I have visible acne for the first time and have been bleeding for over 2 weeks with painful cramps. Also having insomnia, lower sex drive, and more intense anxiety. I plan on removing it when I can afford to."


"I have smoked for over 20 years. I took Chantix and smoked for the first 3 weeks.  I did however notice after the 7th day that cigarettes were not as enjoyable.  I stopped on the 3rd week because I was bored with smoking.  I am now just 6 days smoke free but feel amazing! I smell good, I can breathe better and have saved enough to buy some nice perfume which I can still smell on me at the end of the day.  My smokers cough is even going away.  I am having the strange dreams but that is the only side effect.  Chantix makes it so easy. I am going to continue to take it a few more weeks to be sure this monkey is off my back and I plan to stay smoke free forever. Thank you Chantix- Update- 3/25/14  - 2 weeks smoke free and the urge is gone!"


"Insert date: 3/28/2015 - current ... Sex drive down, depression & stress at an all time high, acne has magically appeared, pores are enlarged, I have black blotches on my face, it's hard to focus, my period used to last 3 days now it last 3-6 weeks, if I'm not on my period then I'm spotting, pain with intercourse, I've never had cramps before but I get extreme ones now whether I'm on or off my cycle, hair is falling out, and I am LOSING weight (I'm already teeny weeny) I tried to wait a year, but I want this removed immediately. There's so much more going on with my body that I feel like I'm missing something in this review."


"Doesn't help much with my depression. I'm still depressed but no longer suicidal."


"Does not work for me.  17 days and no improvement"


"This is the only med that worked for my uncontrollable cough. Even codeine didn't work, and I couldn't get to sleep. If I take 2 teaspoons I start to hallucinate so I stick with 1 teaspoon of the syrup."


"I have had chronic UTIs for my whole life. This medicine did not help at all"


"Without this I am not quite human, nor quite sane. After my Mom passed with an acute illness I developed a horrible case of insomnia and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). A psych. prescribed this and with it I feel that I can calmly exist and think clear thoughts. Without it I am a tight jumble of nerves, I cannot think straight, am paranoid, mean, physically ill and feel like giving up. I tried to go without it for about 6 weeks and all my symptoms returned to me 10 fold. Taking a few pills a day is a small price to pay for your sanity, the ability to smile again, work, look forward to seeing your family and actively pursuing life. Although I don't recommend this for everyone for a long time, I will probably take it forever. Excellent."


"Developed a cold that just wouldn't go away and that turned into a cough. Took Vicks, Mucinex, NyQuill, but nothing controlled the cough well. Decided to try Delsym and while it did control the cough much better than the others, I woke up in the early hours of the morning with extreme diarrhea, awful awful cramping, and sweating to death...I literally sat on the toilet for an hour dry heaving because the pain was so bad. It was terrible. For the next 24hrs my stomach just hurt trying to recover. I only thought I had gotten minor food poisoning but this morning when I had just liquid bowel movements again I decided to search reviews since that's the only thing that has changed...am definitely going to stop taking...."


"I'm 23 and have had my Nexplanon since August of 2014. I absolutely love it.

The first three months were difficult, went through a mood swing stage and a super oily stage and then I swear 6 months hit and every bad symptom completely disappeared.

I'm super happy I waited out the full 6 months."


"I'm 24 years old, I have Hashimoto's (hypothyroid) and am 5'5. I weighed in at 217 lbs on March 25th which is the day I started the medication. It's been seven days and today I am weighing in at 204, 13 lb loss. I've been primarily juicing all three meals per day. I had a full meal one weekend night and have had healthy snacks here and there such as raw almonds and avocados. I've been drinking about 1 gallon of water per day. I just worked out for the first time on day 6 so we'll see how my second week goes now that I'm burning more calories. No negative side effects, dry mouth occurs but as previously stated by everyone it's just makes the water intake that much easier."


"I have been using Ritalin for 5 years, at first it helped me in social situations. Now I use it to concentrate. The 40mg capsule with release holds for 7 hours, only downside is that I loose my appetite for those 7 hours. I went from being an almost dropout in elementary to a high achiever in high school. Now I am in university and ritalin definitely helped me."


"Started on  brintellix 10mg for depression/anxiety, three weeks ago. No side effects at all,apart from some difficulty sleeping. I think I am feeling clearer, but can't say I feel less depressed. Maybe a little calmer,but still having some anxiety."


"This my second DVT in 5yrs, I'm only 26 and its from a genetic disorder. I took warfrain the first time around and er doctor gave me xareltro this time. I was thrilled due to no strict diet, constant finger pricks, etc. However from day 1 of xareltro I had horrible headaches that I could not get rid of. I took my dose with dinner and if we had a late dinner, after 7, I would get vivid dreams that left !e exhausted I'm the morning. It caused two ocular migraines, which I have never had which scared m cause I though I was going blind!! I was also hallucinating at all times of the day. I'm back on warfrian now all sideffects have stopped! Loved the promise of xareltro but belive it needs more testing!!"


"After suffering for almost 20 years with severe acne and cystic acne.
I have been on Duac for only 3 weeks and have seen the biggest change than with any other treatment I've tried.
Almost all acne has gone, only cystic acne that will take longer due to being so far under the skin.
It's amazing, I've not felt my skin this smooth since I was 9 years old.
No new acne breakouts since being on this either. Which is amazing because I'd normally have one or two new ones every day..

LOVE this stuff"


"It was mainly prescribed as a sleep aid, in addition to its antidepressant qualities. I was on regular Seroquel and now on XL as I have trouble staying asleep. It's slightly better. I'm getting 6 hours of sleep a night. I am not usually groggy or snowed by this, maybe once per 30 doses. I'm ok with it. Only downside is cost (XL is brand)"


"I have combination/acne prone skin but have only ever had a mild problem until I bought a 'natural" ebay kit that changed everything. It completely ruined my skin with a huge flare up and immediate dark marks. After that experience I bought tons of other acne products to combat this problem to no avail. My mom works at walmart and told me about differin gel so she brought it home in the morning. I washed my face with my zinc soap prescribed by my derm and dabbed a small amount of gel on my right cheek. In the morning I was beyond surprised to discover a painful cluster of RED acne on that spot so I stopped using this (I'm a light-skinned black girl btw)"


"I recently started my second pack and I couldn't be happier! I had taken 2 different kinds of birth control in the past and they made my vagina very dry and had no desire for sex. With this medication I'm wet and in the mood for sex. I haven't had any side effects except for mood swings for the first 3 days. I would strongly recommend Lo Loestrin Fe."


"I have had 2 injections over the past year. I am reading many reviews where there is pain when the injection is given! The doctor numbs the knee, but the injection is very painful. This pain lasts several hours and I do have swelling. Once the initial pain and swelling is over, I feel the Synvisc is working. I was having pain up and down the right leg radiating from the knee. That pain is gone and I am able to take my daily walks. I am 62 and led a very active and athletic life. Though I can't run the half-marathons anymore, my daily life is pretty normal with minimal knee pain."


"I started the first patch ,first day of my period as instructed by my obgyn and it was perfect, side effects were almost non existent. My period actually got lighter and less painful. First week was ok, second week I suffered from some joint pain then severe stomach aches and finally vomiting . Spent two days barely able to eat or drink anything till I took off the patch and immediately felt better. If it wasn't for the stomach problems I would definitely recommend it since side effects are the least compared to other methods ."


"Tomorrow will end out my first full week on Belviq and since I read every single one of these reviews before asking my doctor for it, I thought I'd better add mine to help the next person out. :) I'm female, age 41, T2 diabetic. I started last week at 187 (5'5" tall) which puts my BMI at just over 30. I weight this morning (would have been five full days) and am down four pounds to 183!! I haven't lost my appetite by any means and could still easily overeat it I wanted to. What it has done for me is to help me feel full faster. It's still on me to make healthy choices, the difference is that now I can eat at appropriate portion and be satisfied. I have been averaging 1200 calories a day. No side effects for me. I'm thrilled!!"


"Great"


"Well, I really am satisfied w/this medicine.  I take it combo w/my pain medication.  I was in a car accident two years ago and aside from the pain meds helping me w/pain, this is what actually allows the muscles themselves able to relax so I can sleep better.  The one I really can't stand is 'flexeril".  I don't what the deal is w/that because of anything, it makes ALL of my extremeties "jump"...like restless leg, but restless EVERYWHERE...(the legs too). The big problem is actually I got a new pain dr., but he only believes in one muscle relaxer and that's baclofen, which does ansolutely NOTHING.  His intern told me that I could take two at a time, and still nothing. "


"I went to a Surgical Center as a patient for out patient Bladder Surgery. In the recovery room i was given 2 shots of Demerol in my IV to help the bladder pain.  Much to my surprise I felt like a human being again because the demerol also  relieved a migraine headache I had for about 10 days."


"I started taking Phentermine on 3/12/09 and I had my appointment on 3/11/09. My weight was 237 lbs. My doctor put me on water pills as well due to my blood pressure being high. So far since 3/12/09 my weight currently is 228 lbs. My goal weight is 150 lbs. I have four children and I had them over the last 5 years, I really have not had that much time to work on my body. Now I am motivated to get the weight off. I have to admit that I have not been following a strict diet but I have tried to watch what I eat and how much I eat. Also my love for candy has started to fade away, hot cookies are starting not to taste so good. Stay encouraged and pray for me. "


"Cause a blood clot that traveled to my heart and almost killed me at the age of 25 after just 5 days on it. They lied about the clinical trials and it's safety and I'm sure they will again."


"I have been on nuvaring for about 6 years.
PROS: I've never gotten pregnant. My boobs went up 2 cup sizes. its not uncomfortable at all. It regulated my period. Much easier than the pill, you put it in, then you can forget about it for 3 weeks. But the BEST THING for me was that it cleared my acne.

CONS: I am moody, more depressed, will cry for any little thing. I have always been 110 pounds my whole life with tiny fluctuations now I'm heading towards 125 pounds! No sex drive at all. Broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years because we never had sex. It gives me constant BV and daily vaginal discharge which is the worst side effect to me.

I have decided to stop it. I'm sick of having BV, and I don't want to gain any more weight."


"Worst experience was given as generic for viorele . Headache nausea vomiting lightheadiness in 2nd week . First week increased acne like acne I've never had before in my life . Had to stop . Also increased my mood swings .  Must of been an inactive ingredient because had no problem with viorele except wearing contacts and they have same active ingredients. Worst experience to date with birth control ."


"I have pretty severe social anxiety, always have. I have tried a lot of SSRI as well as other drugs over the years. Gabapentin is the only drug that makes me feel at ease. I also take small amounts of Xanax before situations that make me especially nervous. I find that Gabapentin changes my personality somewhat though. I get angry, have paranoid thoughts and tend to believe unrealistic things, and generally care about everything less (which is good and bad). It can be difficult to maintain motivation and concentration to get necessary tasks completed. I have a job in which I have to interact with people a lot and even hold meetings. The positive effects of the gabapentin really make the negative effects tolerable."


"Paid $90 to see the doctor and $90 for the prescription and it didn't help at all.

The doctor said I would need to come in monthly for monitoring so this cost would be an ongoing cost (if I was fortunate enough to be one of those people who actually lost weight).

So IF I had continued on this medication and IF it were to have worked and IF I lost the "average" weight of 12 pounds in 56 weeks then it would cost me $2340.00 to lose 12 pounds over one year from now.

I consider this medication to be a waste of time and money."


"Pain #9-10 have DDD, neck fusion, severe osteoarthritis as in S1 joints gone, 5 bulging discs, Fibromyalgia and have been in Chronic pain for 10 years now. After telling my doctor that the usual treatment does not work on me and generics don't work at all he tried the Belbuca. First 2 days @ 600 mcg per day made me  feel a little better, pain #8 but started feeling dizzy, confused, and heart started racing like crazy. Not sleeping soundly, having nightmares, up and down all night and the pain is worse now."
