"I had the Skyla implant done on October 19th 2015. It was by far more painful than I was imagining it was going to be. I had started my period the day before and I was only spotting. I wasn't told to take any pain medicine before I went, but after reading the review on this site I wish I had. I was given pain medication to numb the area but it didn't seem to help at all. It took my OB about 5-7 minutes to insert the device and while he had the applicator in me it was the worst pain I've ever experienced. I kept covering my mouth because I was practically screaming because of the pain. It felt like the doctor had a stick and was just moving around in my cervix and my stomach. Terrible cramping for the first 2 days but no more pills for me!"


"I have been diagnosed since 5/13. I have been on tecfidEra al.osteoporosis the whole time. I have had no growth in my lesions and no new lesions at all. I was recently taken off my meds to see if I have any relapses and where my disease is....I feel like this is a wonderful medication.  Also they had a program to make the meds reasonable or free if needed. Would definitely refer this medication. My cousin used to have to go get 5 hour treatments for her MS. grateful this kind of med is out there."


"I have suffered from cystic acne for almost 10 years. I've tried every topical known to man and not one, but TWO rounds of Accutane. But it still comes back.

I started using Aczone once a day (at night) with a basic moisturizer and have noticed a phenomenal difference. It hasn't healed me because when I'm lazy refilling my prescription, my skin breaks out again. But at least I know it's working when I do use it.

Only downside: it's expensive! Ask your derm for a coupon!"


"I was 64 when I had my first colonoscopy.  I was terrified of having to drink "the awful tasting liquid' after reading all the horror stories.  So I went in with a positive attitude.  I drank the first part of the SuPrep starting at 7 pm.  I mixed everything together and I also had a glass of Crystal Lite Lemonade and a bottle of lime flavored Gatorade handy.  So I started drinking the solution and I was surprised that it was not nearly as awful as what I had expected.  I would drink several swallows of it and then I would drink some lemonade.  I did that repeatedly until I drank it all. Followed by two 16 oz. bottles  of water.  So much easier than what I expected.  They found 4 polyps all benign.  I felt stupid for not doing this sooner."


"I have been taking tramadol for over 10 years now. I take 2 50mg pills 3x a day. I have found a huge difference in the generics. I thought mylan was the best , but the last few months something has changed. Its almost like the mylan pills are fake. They don't work at all. They only give me a headache. I used to take amneal until those stopped working. So this month i went to a different pharmacy and got the zydus brand even though i have read bad reviews of zydus brand tramadol. After 1 hour of taking my first dose it was like night and day. These work great. It was almost like the first time I took hydrocodone. I had little pain, my pain went from an 8 to a 2 . I dont take these to get high but I had a warm fuzzy itch all over my body."


"I'm starting my last row of pills tomorrow (the placebos) and I still have a period. I have been bleeding for 3 weeks straight and I'm going into the 4th. My doctor said that it could take 3 months...if I still have a period on my 2nd pack, I'm leaving this brand. This is ridiculous."


"I have been taking Lexapro for about 2 months now and I notice an immediate change. I suffered from bad anxiety attacks where I would have them two or three times a night. I was miserable by the time I got prescribed Lexapro. My doctor initially prescribed me Xanax to get me through until my antidepressants start working because they don't have that initial "kick" like Xanax has.  I was happy that I had the Lexapro to help me with my depression, and more so anxiety. The only side effects I have noticed is weight gain and lowered sex drive. I think those are nothing compared to feeling depressed. I would recommend this antidepressant."


"I've been on Oxycontin for 8 months. I take it to help with RSD pain in my shoulder that radiates all down my arm and into my hand. I have trouble taking high doses of nerve medications like gabapentin, so a narcotic is necessary. It definitely helps a lot. However, it does not last 12 hrs. I have oxycodone for breakthrough pain. I also have tried taking 3 doses of Oxycontin a day (per Drs orders) and that keeps it from running out. The problem with a triple dose is drowsiness; I started to have trouble tolerating that. But, overall this has been a lifesaver for me."


"Not providing any relief at all."


"I switched to Sprintec almost two months ago. The first month went well. My period only lasted about 4-5 days instead of my normal 5-7. My breasts did get a bit swollen and sore the first few weeks of the pack, but it wasn't terrible. However, I have noticed that the first few days of a new pack, I get vaginal itchiness and I worry that I'm going to get a yeast infection.
This second month has been terrible, though. I started my second week of pills with some light spotting, and now I am at the end of my 3rd week and it has progressively turned into a fairly regular flow, so much so that I have to wear a tampon every day. I'm nervous to see how bad it gets next week when I'm actually supposed to be on my period."


"I was prescribed Effexor after a really bad anxiety attack about 3 years ago. At first, it was really great. Less suicidal thoughts, my anxiety wasn't as bad, but I wasn't eating. I had absolutely no appetite whatsoever, I starved myself until I lost 20 lbs and they increased my dosage from 37.5 to 150 mg. It's years later and I now suffer from an eating disorder that I didn't before. The side effects; dizziness, bad coordination, insomnia, headaches, lightheadedness, and especially the fatigue, all impacted my life to the point where I dropped out of high school. The withdrawals, which occur after 24 hours of not taking the pill, make you feel inhuman. I was better before."


"I was prescribed cipro as a precaution do to a kidney blockage I have.  I can't say how effective it is, because I dont have an infection. I just wanted to comment on side effects. I did not have any side effects at all that I'm aware of.  I'm extremely sensitive to everything! This hasn't seemed to bother me at all.  Then again, I'm only on a 5 day treatment plan."


"As I got older my asthma got worse, and eventually my doctor gave me Symbicort. I absolutely loved it, and I would totally recommend it. I only had to use it once a day, and I was able to go about my day with no shortness of breath. I was finally confident enough to engage in a lot of activities without the fear of struggling. The only problem I had with this medication was that if I missed a dose I found that I would have a full blown asthma attack. I don't know if anyone else has had that problem."


"I have Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Currently taking Effexor, Lorazepam, Remeron, Prazosin, Propranolol, and Saphris.

Despite the medication regiment, I was having a very hard time with anxiety. The panic attacks were debilitating so my psych doc decided to try me on Saphris. He told me to take 5mg at night and 2.5-5mg in the morning if I needed it.
The most noticeable side effects I've had are sleepiness, numb/tingly tongue, and clumsiness. The first three days, the taste of the tablet (regular "flavor") was awful. Today, about one week since starting, it's tolerable.

My anxiety has reduced significantly. My flashbacks have reduced in severity, I feel more mellow and calm. Saphris is really helping me get the most out of my therapy."


"I love this. I used to have major mood swings. I feel so much happier. I'm a recovering meth addict. I started this medicine in rehab. 6 months at 50mg and life couldn't be better. All of the anxiety and nerves, tics and repetitive thoughts I no longer have. Pristiq and AA saved my life."


"I have been taking Trazodone off and on, more on since 1995.  My dose has always been 1 or 2 @ 150mgs.  I would never change.  I have DDD, DJD, arthritis, muscle spasms, chronic pain, COPD, asthma, CFS, and nerve damage.  What can I say.  My mind never turns of.  When I tried to get help, I was told it could not be done.  I was on a muscle relaxer and my insurance wanted me to try something else, so now I wake-up in the middle of the night.  I am also on Oxycontin 40mgs for pain, trazodone has been a life saver.  I just wish I could find away to stop pain.  Just don't know what will happen."


"I am 18 now and I have been taking this pill for 2 years now. Since I started taking it my periods, which were already normal to begin with, have significantly decreased. Now my periods last from 2 days to sometimes not at all. It's scary but reading some other reviews I find that this is common. I never had nausea, but I did have some increase in acne. This is still a good pill but I wish I would have a DEFINITE period each month."


"I'm 21, 5'4 125 pounds, very active. Hypertension runs in my family sadly and there is no escaping from it. It ran in the 140/mid to high 90's range. I was put on hydrochlorothiazide two months ago. At first I didn't like it because obviously it makes you urinate like crazy, and I hated waking up in the middle of the night to go because I would have trouble falling back to sleep. I started taking it early in the morning instead of 3pm, and my problem was easily solved. Other side effects I have noticed, I've lost around 10 pounds of water weight within the last two months. My blood pressure is now in the low 130's, mid 80's range, and I feel great. I probably will end up on a higher dose in the future."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"Love this!  The only one that did not make me sick!  Coupon cuts cost."


"Works great at 1000mg.  No hangover, solid sleep."


"I took Effexor for three years due to depression. I loved the fact that I was no longer depressed but I was tired all the time. I could sleep for 10 hours get up and two hours later I was ready to sleep again. If I missed taking a dose I would get a horrible headache. The only reason I stopped taking Effexor was due to being tired all the time. Getting off of the medication was awful. I have never been so sick in my life. If you are going to take this medicine the rest of your life I highly recommend it. It did wonders for my depression."


"Lorazepam works great for my anxiety with no side effects."


"I've been on tegretol about 2 weeks and at 1.4 weeks just went up to 600 mgs and dont like the side affects stopping it as of today.  taking for bipolar"


"After years of High Blood Pressure and a series of medicines my awesome doctor prescribed Azor along with a diuretic and my blood pressure was 145/110 and now the average is 120/77.  A great medicine and I would tell everyone it is a great medicine. Thanks Dr. G."


"I had pain in my head with shingles. After taking one pill the pain went away, the next day I went to work for a few hours."


"I had a paranoid stint and was getting no sleep. My Doctor gave me Zyprexa and it pulled me out of that state very quickly. I like to refer to it as pulling out the big guns. It had no side effects for me and I was on it a short while."


"I took Klonopin and Paxil for 15 years to treat my anxiety disorder.  I had to detox from the Klonopin this past spring.  I got off the Klonopin and switched my Paxil to Lexapro (sex side effect issue).  I am also a recovering alcoholic.  My doctor did not want me on Benzo's anymore (says it increased alcohol cravings).  I stayed on Lexapro only for 9 months, but my anxiety came back strong on just the Lexapro alone.  I almost resorted to taking Xanax before I switched doctors. My new doc gave Zyprexa a chance. I am on my 7th day and I haven't felt this "normal" in 5 years.  I take 5mgs at night and it has ended the "chatter" in my head, and removed my anxiety.  Great medicine so far."


"I was on Cymbalta before this and made me numb. Took this starting at 10mg and on 40 mg now. Been taking since Dec, so two months now. Hard on stomach at first, running to the bathroom. This med like lifted the fog from my outlook. I mean like I actually feel good like I never have. Able to talk to people and initiate conversation whereas before I would give monotone answers to questions. I think clearer and my memory is better. This is a miracle for me. Not really any sexual side effects and I am male. I had bad sexual side effects with Cymbalta. I take it in the morning with breakfast and I find it goes in my body better with protein like eggs or sausage. It has the effect of energizing me. Pricey after insurance without the coupon card."


"I've used tri-sprintec for about a year. I started it to have lighter periods & to help get rid of acne. It's worked really well for me & my periods last about 4 days & are very light & I've had one or two breakouts since. So why not a higher score? Well like all women, my period was going to coincide with a beach vacation & I was not ok with that. I decided to skip a period & instead of using my week 4 pills, I skipped right from week 3 to week 1 on a new pack... Worst. Idea. Ever. I still got my period & it's lasted for a month, not to mention I have a major acne breakout & no not just one or two. I'm hoping things will go back to normal soon & I warn everyone if this pill is working well for you, DON'T SKIP A PERIOD INTENTIONALLY."


"I have chills and a terrible headache.  Feel nauseated and I only took one pill. First day and I am hating side effects. I also have rapid heart . I will give it two more days. I am not going to deal with bad side effects for any longer than that."


"I’ve always had heavy painful periods. Found out that I had a very thick uterine lining and needed a D&C hysterscope and they recommended the Lilleta IUD to help with bleeding and pain. So I had the procedure and IUD implanted on a November 3rd, 2017. My period was 3 days late : it was due to come on November 6 but it came on November 9th and here it is November 27th...19 Days later and I am STILL bleeding. I’m literally miserable . My cousin who also had it done said that it will eventually stop but I’m beyond ready for that day to come!"


"I am ( 68 years old) taking Brilanta ( Ticagrelor) since December 2015 after having a heart attack and insertion of one stent. During first few months I had problem with even  minor bruises when the blood was not clotting easily. Otherwise I have not experienced any internal bleeding or shortness in breath even when I was walking at moderate speed of 4.5 to 5 KM per hour for 30-45 mins.

I have also problem of acute pancreatitis for which my food is low on fat for last few years.

I only have to watch after completion of one year."


"The first 3 or 4 days I had some bad nausea and I did notice a little bloating, but both faded quickly.  I did not gain any weight - I have actually lost 5 pounds since starting it, but I also have been making healthier eating choices and I exercise a few times a week.  My only complaint is that it made me spot bleed throughout the first month, which was annoying, and I have become a little more emotional but it's nothing serious - and that happens with most birth control pills, anyways. My doctor says the spot bleeding is just something you need to tough out, and if you can, it gets much better after the first few months. Overall, I would recommend this pill - as long as you're willing to stick it out through the first month!"


"used levaquin for three days for sinusitis and congestion, both are gone, but I do have signifcant heart burn and loss of appitite, but no problems eating, sleeping, or itching."


"I have been taking Premarin a little over a month and my hair is starting to fall out, I am having stomach issues now, including odd bloating, and I still have hot flashes every day. I used to take Enjuvia and it was the best thing ever, but it is no longer being manufactured or distributed. I can't seem to tolerate anything else. Does anyone know of something better? I take the highest dose of this without causing the High risk for Breast cancer...I wish this stuff would work for me :("


"I am taking Loestin 24 for 14 days now. I feel really good and have more energy. Last month my period lasted a month. It was awful so my doctor prescribed the pill to control the bleeding. Haven't gained weight. Boobs slightly bigger (good thing for me). So far I have no complaints. Lets see what happens when my period is due next month. I will report more. I've always had long periods lasting 10-12 days so it would be a blessing if the pill can take it down by a few days at least."


"I have major depressive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and anxiety.  I take two antidepressants and Buspar and Valium for anxiety.  I have begun taking 10 mg of Valium several times a day and it helps calm my million mile an hour brain.  I wish I didn't have to take so much medication but to live a normal daily life, they are necessary."


"This is by far the best acne medication ever. Of course it'll take some time from the start of using, but after about 2-3 months, you can definitely notice a difference!"


"Been on Sprintec for about 9 months now. So far so good! No nausea, no acne, no weight gain, no baby. What more can you ask for from a birth control pill?"


"I was put on biaxin a couple days ago and though my tonsillitis has cleared up quite a bit I'm still noticeably sick, I get extreme headaches, dark urine, upset stomach, I've been able to get little to no sleep and I have no appetite. I can't walk without feeling like I have no centre of gravity, I constantly shake, and just today I started throwing up. It also leaves a bad metal taste is your mouth. I'm going to go see my doctor and try to get him to put me on another anti biotic cause this one has a lot of side affects, I was previously on biaxin xl and had no side affects with that."


"I had Mirena for a little over 2 years now and I love it. I got it after my 2nd child. I did not feel any pain or cramping when the doctor inserted Mirena. I have been on the patch, the pill, Depo-Provera way before I got Mirena. I am 28 years old and in a few more years I am going to get this one again. I would definitely recommend to anyone."


"Femhrt worked wonderful.  Had to wait a couple of months for the full effect so give it time.  The only downfall is that it is expensive and does not have a generic."


"I was on Abilify for just over 2 years. At first I was started at 5mg, then increased to 10mg and finally upped to 15mg.

At 15mg the psychotic symptoms vanished, and it prevented almost all manic episodes. It did nothing for my depressive symptoms though.

I also developed terrible akathisia within a few months of reaching 15mg, and they didn't stop when we briefly tried going back down to 10mg. My legs bounced up and down every minute I was awake, I rocked backwards and forwards, I paced and one of my arms even trembled too. I couldn't read, eat with a knife and fork, and strangers would give me funny looks. I had akathisia for two years.

Other than that I had no other side effects with this drug. No weight gain or tiredness."


"Decided to take Dulcolax in order to cleanse after a frisky weekend of unjudicious eating. Took one lil pill after 11:30pm and crawled into bed. It is 2:30am and I have particularly terrible stomach cramps. Right below my esophagus. Right in the trapper. Got up once to see if gravity would help me move the sludge along, but I just got nauseous and sat on the toilet long enough to realize that I wanted to be back in bed again. I swiped a waterbottle from the fridge and a pack of Saltine crackers from the pantry on my hunched waddle back to the bedroom. As I lay there in an extra sad version of the fetal position, I read some of the reviews on this website. As a second-time user of the stuff, I must confirm the rumors. But Saltines help."


"I was on Topamax and my Dr. added 300 mg Trileptal twice a day to deal with anxiety issues caused by Topamax. I have experienced no weight gain and few side effects. There was an initial feeling of "contentment" whenever I took it, but this wore off after a couple weeks. Since adding Trileptal to the repertoire I've experience no manic symptoms but blessed, normal emotions. It's like the anxiety was cut away and a real human being was exposed underneath. The emotions are loud and clear but they aren't overpowering. No cycling. I'd say this was a real plus."


"This medication is nothing short of a miracle for me. I have been suffering from debilitating postpartum depression (hospitalized for 3 months) for 7 months, and no combination of SSRI's/antipsychotics had worked for me until Abilify. After about 4 days I began feeling happier, less suicidal. I am on 2mg in the morning. Haven't noticed any real negative side effects. I almost feel "normal" for the first time in close to a year. Love this medication."


"Wonderfully highly recommended"


"I have started taking Votrient about three weeks ago. One tablet in the morning, one tablet in the afternoon, and one tablet before bedtime. I would be sick during the day (nausea, extreme fatigue, and no appetite.) I told my doctor about my experience and she suggested to take the tablets all at once before going to bed. I have been doing this for a week, and it is not too bad except waking up in the morning feel exhausted. But in the afternoon I would feel fine. I think the medication is working because I always have tumor pain and I will be going to the doctor this week for signs of some shrinkage."


"Taking it out in a few days! I've gained over 20 lbs with it in. I just eat and eat and don't get full. Don't feel like having sex and just feel like blah. When everyone else has lost weight because of breastfeeding I've just been gaining. I'll go back to the nuvaring. Even though I got pregnant while on it. (Another story). I've been working out. Guess I can do more but I've never weighed this much in my life."


"I have had Augmentin or its generic prescribed for my sinus   upper resp infections for 15 years. It Always works. It sometimes takes 15-21 days as I've had many sinus surgeries, but by the end I am clear and good to go! Cipro takes longer and Levaquin made me lose my sense of smell for a year!"


"My experience with Cytoxan was very good. Prior to starting this treatment I was having difficulty with most activities, including walking, writing and even dressing. After a few treatments I was performing these and many other activities quite well. I continued with the treatments for over 3 years (with 1 treatment every 4-6 weeks).

Now I am having tysabri treatments every 4 weeks with good success."


"I was on estarylla for 1 day and it gave me chest heaviness to the point where I felt I couldn't breathe for several days. I was sent to the ER and they said I was completely healthy. It made me very depressed but the worst part was feeling like I was literally suffocating but doctors telling me I was fine. Anxiety was through the roof and every moment was just torment and crying. I do not suggest taking estarylla!!!"


"I've only been on Elavil 62.5mg since last night and I slept all the way through the night and woke up not so tired this morning. I was on 25mg at first but didn't work then up to 50mg and that didn't work. Now I am trying this dose and I feel so much better. I hope it continues to work for me at this dose. I took it about five hours before bedtime and I felt tired and went to bed five hours later after taking it at 6:20pm."


"Switched from Soma after 4 years, love this new drug, no feeling loopy, can manage my day and feel great."


"It did not even step up to the plate. My wife said it tastes terrible."


"Bipolar with mixed episodes, ADHD and severe anxiety. Saphris was a miracle for me also. I've been on disability for 10 years and this is the first medicine I've taken that has made me functional.  Absolutely can't take it the morning; it makes me incoherent for about 3 hours and I eat everything in sight.  So I take all 20 mgs at night and am doing fine.  Have mouth sores, though. My doctor said to alternate between taking it sublingually, supra lingually and but ally and it's helping. "


"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 have just begun taking Qsymia, still on 3.75 mg. In a month, I've lost 14lbs. no exercise, but I did slightly change my eating habits. A lot of spinach salads, yogurt, ONLY water to drink.. Occasionally I still eat whatever my kids eat(junk) but it has really curbed my appetite and I've had no real side effects so far.. Will be increasing to 7.75 this week. I am pleased so far."


"I'm a 19 year old female prescribed 100mg of Wellbutrin XL.

The Good: Positive feelings about future/self (initial), appetite loss/weight loss, increase in energy, clarity in thought (fluctuates), general feelings of optimism/excitement, increase in sex, increase in desire to be productive, makes depressive episodes manageable, stopped smoking, less desire to drink.

The Bad: Insomnia, minor tremors/twitching, irritability, increased anxiety, frequent mood swings, periodic feelings of hopelessness and apathy throughout the day (but are more manageable than they had been before), decrease in desire to socially interact, loss of concentration.

I've only been taking it for 3 weeks so I'm staying optimistic. I really want this medication to work."


"Blistered my toes ,really  bad .Has taken almost a month for the skin to stop peeling on my feet .

I seriously would not use this on any type of fungal irritation. It also did nothing other than more irritation for a ringworm .This product is more harmful than helpful."


"I suffered severe pain in the ankle from gout. The pain left within 2 hours of taking diclofenac sodium. It was my first time getting gout and a very painful experience. Will always use this medicine in future occurrences."


"I got liletta inserted six days ago. I would rate the pain for the insertion 6/10 but it wasn't that bad. I didn't feel them hold my cervix but the measuring and the insertion were reasonably uncomfortable. I felt super crampy the rest of the night but woke up the next morning feeling normal. Have spotted just a little. Tomorrow is will be fully effective. It's already much easier than remembering to take my pill every day. No other side effects."


"Have had anxiety for a few years but the last couple months it started taking over my life, couldnt go shopping cause id have a panic attack at the counter.My work life become unbearable, to the point i wouldnt go to work.So i started drinking to help me and it did at first. But the more i drank the more out of control my life become,Was like watching a slow moving car crash an i couldnt do anything.thats when i knew i needed help. Have been on 10ml escitalopram for 4 days now and i feel great woke this morning feeling like a cloud has been lifted, my anxiety lvl is 5 from a 10. So this drug might not be a miracle drug but its helping me live just that little bit better"


"My insomnia comes from anxiety issues when I try to sleep. I found that Ambien didn't make me sleepy but it did relax me enough to fall asleep. There are tons of stories floating around about strange behavior and I have my share. I found this only happens when I try to do things between ingestion and onset. Only take it when you are already in bed, relaxing, and attempting to fall alseep, and you shouldn't have any problems."


"I have suffered from moderate to severe acne. My doctor prescribed me this medication the first week of July 2015. I literally saw NO results until after 4 weeks. I told my dermatologist that it doesn't look like it really works for me BUT, he told me It usually takes 3-4 months to really see the improvement. Also, a week after I saw him I did see a HUGE improvement. I had a lot of bumps on my forehead and all around my chin. My face is very smooth now, just have a couple of scars. Nothing good makeup can't hide when I have to head out. I also avoid the sun as much as I can. Bc I started to notice my skin was getting flakey but I use a good moisturizer to get rid of that. I take one when I wake up and one before I go to bed."


"I find Nuvaring a good and convenient birth control, have been using it for the last 3 months. I am 37, two kids, married. I have tried all sorts of birth control over the years. It took a month for my cycle to settle (had the copper coil before), absolutely no negative side effects otherwise. If anything, my mood has actually slightly improved. No weight gain, skin good, sex drive the same. My husband can sometimes feel NuvaRing during sex, which is easily resolved by taking it out. I would take it out afterwards anyway to rinse. It is very easy to (re)insert.
I can't feel it when inserted, no problems when exercising (I am doing 1/2 marathons).
For me (age group/hormone levels, lifestyle, etc) NuvaRing is very good."


"I was excited to get on this medication after over 4 years on the Tamoxifen. Unfortunately I have had some side effects that have me contemplating returning to the Tamoxifen. I have had a persistent cough for months and I am exhausted no matter how much I rest. My digestive system is messed up . I just feel all around bad."


"I hate medication. I avoid it because I'm always afraid of side effects. I started on a low dose of this medication and gradually had it increased. It has no side effects to speak of. I simply found relief from the panicking and constant fear. It just made me  feel normal again. Listen to your doctor and don't self medicate. Take only what is prescribed and I believe you will feel better. I do."


"I was put on Ritalin 10mg three times a day, then on Concerta 27mg. I didn't have any side-effects until I went to 36mg and I was only losing my appetite. I went back down and it still is really helping my concentration. I finish my work on time and am able to work to a higher level of work."


"Destroyed my life. Took for 10 years for hair loss. Permanent E.D., zero libido (under any circumstances), viagra and the others have zero effect. Thought I was just getting older realized a decade later. Some MD's use this to feminize transexuals. Do not take it if you ever hope to have a sex life again."


"I have had a productive cough off and on for over 24 years (more on than off) have seen many ENTs, allergists, gastroenterologist and they say it is acid reflux.  I am on three acid blockers a day with no relief. The Elavil has STOPPED THE COUGH. I feel free and happy and so grateful that I read about the off label use of this medicine.  Thank you Elavil."


"Started taking phentermine, August 30, 2013. Weighed in at 219lbs. Weighed on Sept 4 at 212lbs. So it is working. I don't have a lot of energy. I was working out 2 to 3 days a week before I started. So today I'm taking B12 supplement to see if that will help me. Overall it's okay and I need this weight off of me. It's not attractive."


"I started Nuvigil last week. I was only sleeping 3-4 hrs per day for the first few days, so on my day off, I didn't take it. However, this week, I sleep as normal. I get 4 hrs of sleep in the morning, and then take a 2-3 hr nap before work at night."


"I've been on this BC for three and a half years now and it's been amazing.  I was on two other types of birth control before, nuva ring and another oral pill that drove me crazy, nausea, crazy mood swings, cramps, heavy periods, the works. It made me never want to go on BC again but I'm so glad I gave it a second chance.

With Lo Loestrin Fe I haven't had any period, cramps, back ache, mood swings, decrease in sex drive, weight gain, or acne.  The only problem I've had is that it seems to lessen my appetite so I try to make sure I eat before taking it otherwise I forget.

At first I was concerned that I wasn't getting my period but I talked to my Doctor and he said it was fine as long as I was comfortable with not having one."


"It does get the job done but horribly I'm writing this review on the toilet right now in between what I call a grace period.  The cramps are pretty bad. My solid bm is now liquid and it's coming in waves, it has basically given me diarrhea, it's 2:36am and I took the medicine around 9pm. I really wish I read the reviews before take the two pills. Don't take unless you wanna blow up your toilet."


"Was depressed with Psychologie and pains. Amitriptyline was prescribt. It is very good. Side effect are dry mouth and dizziness but works really"


"My husband and I celebrated one year smoke free on March 5, 2010.  Both of us were 30-year smokers, I smoked 2-3 packs a day and he smoked 1-2.  Chantix was the magic pill we'd always joked about!  The only side effect we suffered was constipation (we know two other people who had the same easy experience, but two of my cousins had to stop because of vivid nightmares).  I feel very lucky that Chantix worked so well for us.  Neither of us has had any interest in smoking since we quit."


"Not quite sure why there is so much dissatisfaction with the new design....I was frustrated for about 30 seconds until I realized how easy it is to use.  There are several different brands and generics that have the exact same concentrate of the effective drug.  But I think, with the reasoning behind the new child-safety precautions, most if not all of them will continue with the new design.  Anyway, effective as always, no matter what brand I buy."


"Absolutely no side effects. I lost weight on this medication, however if you do not want to lose weight, talk to your psychiatrist and they can prescribe medications that can help you gain weight if you are underweight.

This medication worked perfectly on my depression and I have not relapsed since I was weaned off it. No sexual side effects, it actually helped my sex life I am so happy I tried it."


"I started seeing a Psychiatrist about 2 weeks ago and since have been on Xanax XR 1mg everyday. Before that my primary care doc had me on 0.5 mg and only taking half to one a day. At some point I had to start asking for more and explaining that I needed to to take one at least twice a day because I was having multiple panic attacks everyday with every symptom of those you can possible have. My life was miserable until Xanax XR came along. I take it a noon as it seems I am okay until then and it wears off about 8pmish. I know I have only been taking it a couple weeks but its been a life saver for me. I feel normal again...for myself at least."


"Took my first dose last night before dinner. I have always had a poor appetite & have had to force myself to eat a meal or two through out the day before actually feeling hunger pains at dinner time. After the 5mg dose last night I started feeling "high" after about 30 minutes. About an hour later I started hallucinating & having paranoia about dying. I had my husband take me to the hospital. I was given Ada-van to relax me & are still feeling some of the effects today. It's like the absolute worst hangover ever. The ER Doctor said that maybe 5% of the population would have this sort of reaction to it & I just so happen to have been in that 5%. :/"


"I was diagnosed with narcolepsy about a month ago. I don't like taking pills but falling asleep at work at 8 am is just not acceptable. I was prescribed the 150mg and my insurance pays for it. There is a discount program offered by some pharmacies (using Walmart). My doctor gave me some information about it and I only paid $10. It is supposed to save $50 each month.
My experience with the pill itself is mostly positive. I finally feel like I can actually pursue my dreams and goals and won't have to compromise on less because I am too tired to go for it. I also have the side effect of dry mouth though and on the 3rd day of full dosage, I get a bad headache. Because of that, I take only half on some days and most weeks don't take any on Sunday."


"I got the Implanon 6 weeks after my son was born and I have to say that I am loving it! It was almost painless, last for 3 years and I don't have to try and remember to take a pill everyday. I had not read any reviews before I chose to go with the Implanon, but I have had previous family and in-laws that have had it and they said that they loved it so I figured I would give it a shot. I have not had any weight gain or side effects except for some food cravings every now and then. My periods have almost completely stopped in the 2 months that I have had the Implanon. I am very pleased with this birth control and would recommend it to anybody who has kids and have things to do other than worry about a pill everyday or a shot every few months!"


"I was on this birth control pill for 10-11 months. It caused me to have periods during week 2 of the pills, vaginal dryness!, a lot of hair loss & breakage, really bad embarrassing acne, weight gain, bloating, constant infections, PMS symptoms, etc. I kept going to my OBGYN thinking I had cancer or something was broken. She told me to keep taking them. No way. I quit taking them 2 weeks ago and I feel better already. I'm just afraid it might've done some fertility damage. Time to find a new obgyn and stay off of birth control pills because the side effects aren't worth it! Just will track my ovulation & avoid sex on those days. It's sad obgyns tell you to stay on pills with all these negative side effects, they don't truly care."


"Velivet is great for birth control. I've been on this for almost over two years and have had no problems. Only major problem is that I get angry or upset for no reason the week before my period. "


"This medication is excellent! I have had horrible angioedema (a type of urticaria where the hives form under the skin) since I was ten years old from an autoimmune disease and have gone through several different medications, but this once has worked the most effectively. And I can tell how well it works because when I forget to take it, the hives show up within about 12 hours after the missed dose and once I remember to take the missed dose, within about two hours, it feels as though I never had angioedema at all."


"It allows me to get out of bed. I can't imagine living without it. "


"Had partial thyroid removal with benign tumor 30+ years ago, was OK until about 2 years ago and routine bloodwork showed low thyroid. After 2 years being OK on the medication suddenly the thyroid levels are dropping again, hair falling out, skin is breaking out in itchy red welts, gaining weight, so Dr upped the dosage.  A couple weeks on higher dose I feel like I am "wired" in high gear, can't sit still, talking to myself going in circles, and my hot flashes have really really ramped up big time. Dr. says to give it at least 60 preferably 90 days to adjust, not sure I can hold out that long before stopping it. Hoping there is a better solution out there someplace."


"Qsymia works for me. It is true. It makes you thirsty and makes diet soft drinks taste like brake fluid. Totally kills my craving for sweets. The good news, I was closing in on the 300lbs mark...less than two months later, almost at 260 lbs. I am a weight watcher so I have an accurate record of my weight loss. Also, I go to my local YMCA and workout six days a week."


"Although I think it is great that people read up on medications that they take, I cannot stress enough how important it is to make sure this medication is prescribed by a doctor who has examined you, knows your biology and knows what meds you should take. Too many people lose their lives taking meds not prescribed for them, or mixing with otc meds or drinking alcohol. Be safe. This drug worked great for my back pain.  I am glad my doctor chose it for me."


"I started taking Effexor about a year ago. Started on 75mg and went all the way to the maximum 375mg over a 6 month period. The side effects were really quite bad, thus had to cut back to 225mg, this dose works very well. Some doctors are quite quick to push up your doses if your progress is slow. My advice is give it plenty of time before increasing doses. More isnt always better. Effexor is a good drug just somtimes can be a little slow working, the withdrawal from cutting down tablets wasn't really that bad at all; as long as you take it slow. Good luck to everyone who takes this drug."


"ok...its been 30 days and all is well....yes,  ive had some ups and downs...anxiety attacks, fever,  insomnia, stomach & headaches...but over all i feel great....ive learned that taking my meds earlier than bedtime is better for me & also that the side effects seem to be nonexistent when im well hydrated.......(*DRINK PLENTY OF WATER....)"


"I am on day nine of ten taking Moxifloxacin HCL 400mg per day for pneumonia.  I still cough up a white mucus with a slight rattle in my chest.  I sleep using a Cpac and hope the last pill will clear out the rattle and mucus.  The only side effect I had was constipation."


"I felt like utter crap the next day, after taking this drug.  This experience was repeated until I threw it out.  It may work for some, but it definitely made me feel awful the next day, as if I had zero energy, depersonalized, like a zombie - just out of it.  I could tell it definitely worked on some part of the brain that affects alertness."


"I have suffered with abnormally heavy menstrual bleeding for my entire reproductive life - starting with my very first period at age 12. I am now 48 and had the Mirena inserted two years ago as I could no longer tolerate birth control pills. It has been wonderful, I do still get periods but they are short and light with no cramping. Who knew that regular tampons would be useful? Yesterday I went for a check-up and my hemoglobin count was 14. The best I had ever achieved before this was 11. My doctor said that for the first time in my life I could now donate blood instead of wondering if I may need a transfusion. Go Mirena!"


"Kineret works great for my Schnitzler's Syndrome.  It can hurt when injected but if I warm it up to room temperature by letting it sit out for a while or hold the syringe in my hand to warm it up, it hurts A LOT less."


"Took it for bronchitis -- worked like a charm. Took it in pill form cause cough medicine makes me vomit.  It did the job but doctors frown against prescribing it because of its make up. It does work -- when you can get a doctor to prescribe it.  They will try 10 other things before finally prescribing this and it shouldn't be that way."


"Seemed to help the first month but after that it didn't and it gave me the dry eyes."


"I used Alli  for about three weeks .  I didn't notice it helping me lose  weight faster than I can with a weight watchers program . It did increase my bowel movements. I did have some stomach discomfort and gas. I stopped using it at the end of the third week because I went out to dinner and took my pill with my meal  and it made me extremely ILL.  Vomiting and  Diarrhoea  for over eight hours !!!  I would not recommend this product to anybody !!!  Weight watchers is working out very well for me .  Eating healthy and exercise is the only way to go, there is no magic pill!!!  I had to find out the hard way !"


"I started getting really bad headaches at a young age but never thought it was anything serious until I became pregnant and they became worse. I tried everything from Excedrine migraine to Aleve. About 9 months ago my doctor gave me a sample of Treximet and I had my doubts but it actually worked. The only side effect that I had was a burning feeling in my nose, but the pain was gone and I could deal with that."


"Yasmin changed my life!

For the past year or so I started breaking out due to hormones (it only happened the week before my period) & getting HORRIBLE PMS. About 2-3 days before my period, I would get very irritable and grouchy, to the point where it affected my work and social life.

I went to my doctor with these problems & she recommended Yasmin.

The first 6wks or so, it was horrible. I broke out even more, gained about 10-15lbs, & that led to a slight depression. But people told me that is just what happens when your hormones adjust to new birth control?

I'm really glad I stuck through because my acne is now completely gone and my PMS levels have decreased by at least 75%, feeling SO much better!"


"My doctor did the genesight test and this was on the green list. Ive been on prozac since I was  18 and it was on the yellow list. I've had bipolar disorder since I was 13. This medicine makes me feel like what I felt when I was on antipsychotics. I don't like this at all. Maybe I need to give it a chance but I don't like this feeling at all!!!"


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


"I have Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin Mutation, Protein C Deficiency. Injected twice-daily, subcutaneously while pregnant. Injections were taken in the abdominal area, twice daily, for the duration of pregnancy. Regular treatments were warfarin (Coumadin) while not pregnant. Needles were not very big, but left a lot of bruising because of the thin blood, but that is to be expected with any blood thinner injection. Last month of pregnancy I used heparin injections, I was told they leave the body faster than Lovenox. Just in case of spontaneous labor."


"I was a failing student, failing math 2 times. In my junior year of high school I took Adderall for the first time, on the first day of the school year. The first day of taking it was astonishing. I was very concentrated in math class, and that's not it, I had a desire to learn once I got into class. My grades improved to the high 90 percentiles, which I never thought I'd accomplish. But there are side effects to taking Adderall. For me it's dizziness for about an hour in, headaches on occasion, and being very sleepy around afternoon. I urge parents who have kids with ADD/ADHD to let your kids try it out for a month. It might save their futures. You can skip doses as much as you like, so I don't take it on summer break or weekends."


"Best thing ever invented. I had gout nine months ago and let it run the course for about two weeks. Almost killed me. I did All home remedies and everything you found on the net. This time I awoke and could not walk. I knew what was wrong. I hopped to the doctors office and he agreed and gave me the prescription for methylpredinsoline two hours after taking the pills I started feeling better. The next day no pain and I could walk. BEST MEDICINE EVER. THANK YOU WHOEVER FOUND THIS."


"Only started a week ago for sciatic pain and back pain, the pain eased from severe to moderate - but the pain in my feet supposedly from firbomyalgia has all but disappeared.  As I also have side effects from most tablets starting slowly, first 5 days 1 x 100mg, now on 2 x 100mg.  Feel nauseous, very tired and occasional giddy bout but hoping that this disappears over next couple of weeks.  Will try 3 tablets after 2 weeks and see how this goes. Tiredness is my main problem at the moment."


"This pill has so far prevented pregnancy successfully, even with missing occasionally.  The irregular periods do provide quite the scare but I'm thankful for something during this breastfeeding stage.  Since I exercise, I haven't noticed any weight gain or significant side effects after the first few days of taking it."


"I started taking Xenical 2 weeks ago. Been hard to stick to a healthy diet. I've seen it all, the oily etc. But have lost 4 pounds. I have managed to eat healthier the past 2 days. Am going to stick to eating healthy. I need to lose at least 2 stones in the next 3 months."


"I got my Nexplanon 11/21/14 and my nonstop bleeding started January and haven't stopped since. First it was heavy for one week then light then heavy for two week now its just spotting and I think its about to go off but I can never be sure...just ready for it to go off because I'm tired of buying pads."


"I had a Radical Prostatectomy at age 50. It left me impotent for about 3 years, but I lost about 60 lbs and I've been swimming for 2 years now.

Levitra has help me achieve a strong erection when paired with the right stimuli. Some times the side effects are horrible in the form of a very bad head ache and other times it is hardly noticeable.

I must be physically fit enough for sex or my conservative Chinese doctor would not have prescribed it. Since I had cancer in even core of the prostate, the surgery was extensive. I though I was sexually doomed after the surgery, but cardiovascular exercise has helped me tremendously. The nerves are damaged but increasing the health of the circulatory system has benefited my ED condition. It helps!"


"Upon taking sulfasalazine I experienced a severe headache, dizziness, bruising on my feet and legs, chills, blood shot eyes, pain in my joints, hives and swelling in my face and neck. The headache became so bad I could not get out of bed."


"My husband and I tried having children for 7 years and nothing happened. We got tested and found out that I had polycystic ovaries.  The asked us what sort of help we wanted and I said clomid, and just on the 4th pill I got pregnant. I took it 1 day after I got married."


"I am taking it daily as a preventive for Malaria and just started.

Definitely needs to be taken with food or you will become violently ill, including vomiting.

Within 30 minutes of taking it have nausea and stuffy nose occurs. The nausea symptoms last for an hour the stuffy nose a little longer and disappears after 3 hours.

I expect to be out of the country for the next 4-5 years and I am not looking forward to taking this on a daily basis."


"I am using these patches for 18 months and it has been very effective. But severe psychiatric side effects like increases sexual urges, compulsive chatting/internet surfing, fast driving etc are making me reconsider the use."


"Was on Celexa but came off because of horrible side effects such as lack of focus, and EXTREME memory loss. I suffered in class because of this, I could not retain anything I learned and it didn't make me feel happy, just numb. I stopped it a few years ago. Started 10mg Viibryd a couple months ago and I feel happier, more focused and more ambitious than ever, I use it along side Vistaril for anxiety and Its incredible. For how bad of a rep it gets, its been a life changer for me. I am doing amazing in school now and I just generally feel right all the time now. Occasional brain zaps at night but they are infrequent. The payoff of this medicine is just too great to let a couple minor side effects stop me from taking it."


"After having my prostrate removed, I could not get an erection.  Viagra and Cialis did not work.  The next step was injections, which the Dr. recommended Edex.  The injection was painless and I had a great erection.  I had an erection for 6 hours, which I have to tell you, it is not a pleasure, but after reducing the dose in half it's much better.  I highly recommend Edex.  The Dr. gave me an Edex card, which took care of the co-pay and ended up costing me nothing."


"I'm a 23 year old college student and Viibryd has been great! I have always had anxiety problems, which were left untreated for quite some time, until I got put on this medication. Before, I found myself at a general loss of interest not only in school, but in life, to where I reached the point that I could not focus effectively. The greater problem was that I would grow severely anxious when I thought about all the tasks and assignments I had to complete, and would eventually leave things at a disarray. After being on this medication now for about two months, things are really looking on the bright side, which I have not experienced any of the negative side effects associated to this medicine."


"I've only been on phentermine 37.5 since June 23, 2015.  My starting weight was 220 at 5'5" and this morning I weighed in at 214.8.  I take it every morning as soon as I get up in the morning with 1-2 cups of water.  It does make me really thirsty (so I have been drinking more water) and the first few days, my sleep was so off and I felt really jittery. I have definitely noticed that I don't eat as much. Even if I try to eat a lot, I feel bad so I don't try much :)  I try to attend boot camp 1-3 times a week.  I can't wait to see results within the next week and days to come."


"Second day taking it. Today I felt weird no energy just concentrated on things more. No appetite but made myself eat something small and healthy every three hours. I have 110 lbs to lose I hope this helps I walk at night after work and gym in morning for a hour."


"I have been on Strattera  for 6 years. I take one 18mg a day. When I take it I don't feel like myself. I feel depressed. I feel tried all the time. So for me I don't like it but so far they haven't found anything else that will work  for me."


"Just started taking sertraline, same day right away I felt weird, my head started to hurt. Felt like sunburn, numbness, pain but then also keep getting major anxiety with it so I took Advil with it. Called my doctor he said that those were all normal side effects that would disappear in a couple of weeks but pain is awful."


"I have been taking this medicine every morning for the past six months and it has reduced by blood pressure from 155/105 to 138/88.  It has a Beta-blocker and makes me feel calmer shortly after taking it.  Although, I find it harder to get going with my cardiovascular exercise.  My doctor recently added an additional drug, amlodipine (calcium channel blocker) to my treatment regimen.  My heart rate went down to a constant 42 beats per minute, which made me very tired and dizzy."


"It definitely helped with cramping and diarrhea but I still did have the occasional episode of diarrhea. However, after 5 months I'm back to where I started. I don't know how I feel about having to take an antibiotic every 5 months or if thats even recommended/safe."


"My doctor prescribed 50mg of Seroquel for insomnia and it worked well for about 3 years.  I then had to up the dose to 100mg and it caused me to have restless leg syndrome.  It is a great medicine for insomnia for the short term, not so for long term."


"I had perioral dermatitis, literally came out of nowhere, originally thought it was a pimple, then the next day just all around my mouth to the point where it hurt to talk, I left it for another day avoiding people, then the next day it got even worse, that is when I panicked. I could barely talk, eating was out of the question (thank God for Ensure and protein shakes). The doctor prescribed Keflex for me, 500mg, four times a day for ten days. It seriously worked wonders. Now I am back on this medication again for the same thing 8 months later, my doctor has no idea what causes it and apparently neither does Google. Anyways, I feel I can rest easy knowing I am on this product again and that it will be cleared up within the 10 days."


"Worst side effects lost all taste in my mouth and bad metalic taste in mouth couldn't think straight"


"Wonderful drug, after being on narcotics for years I had no energy at all. Surgeries and other treatment for most of the pain but could not get energy back until trying Vyvanse. Truly feels as though I am 15 years younger. Has given my life back to me and therefore I can give to my kids again. Ritalin did little for me."


"Tension Headache.  I had taken 10 mg 3x day for years with no results.  In titrating up to 20 mg 4x per day I have had miraculous results in relieving daily tension headaches. No side effects. Highly recommended."


"So I am nearing my 3 years on this birth control. I got it when I was 15 now I'm 18. For the first two years I was constantly bleeding. Then I would have a few weeks off and then a month or so back onto bleeding and so on. I experienced bloating and weight gain that was explainable to me (I was not thinking about the birth control) because I have very high metabolism. I am a self conscious teenager and actually ended up stopping eating out of fear.  When I came on this birth control I wanted to prevent pregnancy and stop my period. Only one of those was achieved. So, while it is a good birth control, I find the side effects too unbearable."


"I have been on Belviq for a week. I have not had any side effects and I've lost 7lbs. It's been a great motivator.  I check in next week to give more update."


"I have RSI in the wrist. I have been doing the streching exercise shown to me by my physio therapist as well as using Volt.  I get No relief using it at all. Its just an expensive useless smelly cream in my experience."


"It's annoying to pull money out of your pocket to buy little things like this because of a little accident or a little overthinking/hesitation. If you're starting to hesitate whether or not the guy has finished inside of you and you just have a gut feeling that he did. Take the pill. Mistakes happen so stop calling yourself stupid.

I took Aftera about 10 hours after intercourse. The condom ended up breaking and I just wanted to be safe. Aftera is usually $10 cheaper than Plan B. Anyway, I took it and the only side effects I got were cramping and a slight headache but they were both manageable and nothing too bad.  Both subsided within 2 and a half hours. Got my period on the day it was supposed to."


"On week 6 of Trintellix 10 mg and it is finally starting to work. My depression was severe and it is finally starting to subside. This medication for me was very slow acting but had little to no side effects. It also hasn't done much for my anxiety issues but I'm not sure its suppose too. Will probably give it 2 more weeks and then request an increase to 20 mg. With a coupon of course. Super expensive without one."


"Took my first pill yesterday evening, couldn't get to sleep at all, and went to the bathroom more than ever all night."


"I was suffering from acute anxiety in addition to my psychotic disorder(from illicit drug use) I would get this anxiety all day long and I couldn't take it any more so I spoke to my doctor and he put me on Zoloft 25mg. Its a tiny pill but it has made a huge difference in my anxiety level. I also practice meditation every morning to augment the Zoloft and that's definitely helped too. For those that want to know I practice observational meditation( simply observe and note changes in how I'm feeling and attempt to silence the negativity). The only reason that I didn't give this medication a 10 was because of the sexual side effects. I have no sex drive and have extreme difficulty climaxing as well as maintaining an erection."


"I started using Differin last January in 2016. It was prescribed by my dermatologist together with antibiotics, and I have to say - it's the best ever!

I don't know if it was because of the antibiotics, but my acne healed in less than three months and the only thing I had to worry about was the scars.

The only (common) side effect I had was dry, scaly skin. Doctor told me it was fine during our second checkup, so he gave me moisturiser. (Side note: I've been moisturising my face since young but I didn't dare to aggravate my skin so I stopped)

And I love the fact that Differin does not discolour clothings and bedsheets. Before this I was using Duac, it was also beneficial to my acne but it discoloured my favourite bedsheet horribly!"


"Ive had asthma since I was 5 and now I'm 42. I've always only used rescue inhalers for most of it and since I've taken this 1x a day I rarely ever use my inhaler and I'm never short of breath. It's apparent that this is not for everyone as I've read some reviews. I have been taking it for 3 months and have never had any side effects. I'm a fan.....actually was given a free 12 month prescription for this and that alone saved me $50-100 a month I'm guessing!"


"If you just started Lexapro and are considering quitting because of the side effects - don't! Trust me. Wait it out. It gets so much better. The first month I took Lexapro, I was extremely nauseous and anxious, and couldn't sleep at night. I've been on it now for six months and feel like a completely new, better person. The only side effect I experience is occasional drowsiness. I can sleep at night, I have no sexual side effects, and I haven't gained any weight. Also: Do NOT taper off this medicine without consulting your Doctor first and having him/her help you through it. If you take yourself off it (especially cold turkey) it will be horrible for you. Be smart and stay strong. The good definitely outweighs the bad."


"Started Phentermine 37.5mg about 10 days ago. Weight 199LB and 5’8. MD suggested due to health problems aNd impaired mobility. Week one I lost 5 lbs and only took the pill 2 days, skip a day, one pill, and skip a day again.
I could barely eat bites of food... that’s why I staggered the dose. I was only extremely thirsty and felt  “off” so I’d force myself to eat fruit, or something small.
I really want the weight off but I know diet and exercise are a must... No magic pill....just short term booster.
I do exercise 3 x week light low impact. I plan to work hard with healthy eating, exercise, and this pill as needed.
I’m thankful for the assistance, but realistically learning to have healthy habits is key❤"


"I have always had excessive sweating and body odour because of that and always been looking for medication for this. Tried so many Deodorants include Mitchum and they did not seem to work at all. I put this on for 2 nights continously and I was surprised at the results! It really works! Although it may seem a little expensive but it's worth the price."


"Didn't take away pain in 1 months"


"Okay so I have been taking Necon for 9 months because of heavy cramping and long periods. The first couple of months were fine. I was just always emotional and sometimes have a bad attitude. The last past month I have been kind of depressed and having anxiety attacks. It didn't come clear to me that it was the pills until my friend stated that was once her side effect. I have put on a couple of pounds and I am now able to feel out a complete D cup. (Unfortunately) and my  acne isn't as bad as it was. It's a 50/50 good product."


"I have been on a weight roller coaster since my early twenties. Since my family history of early demise of heat/health issues due to weight I decided to take a stand. I have lost pounds and regained pounds. I did some research online and found this medication. As stated I had to do some talking and consulting with my physician to try this. I will put it simply in the 14 day "dosing" period I lost nearly 15 lbs. I have been on Qsymia for a little over two weeks now and started on the 7.5MG and I have lost a little over 21 lbs. I must admit I was a little aggressive on the exercise but I do not think I was able to do this even as a teenager. Truly excited about what the future holds for this outstanding motivational experience."


"I've been on Lexapro for under three weeks now and it's been pretty great so far. I suffer from severe general and social anxiety and also depression.

I started on 10mg for the first four days, then upped to 20mg on the fifth day.

I noticed slight results after day four and to this day the over thinking and gut wrenching anxiety has been lessened. I have no depression anymore and it's close to impossible to care about stressful situations.

I'm well aware it can take up to two months for Lexapro to fully take effect, however I feel the positive benefits already.

Definitely something worth a try! Especially if you have anxiety and depression that is out of control.

Besides the side effects, which are slowly fading away, Lexapro is great"


"I have never felt as well on any other medicine or been able to keep my sugar level as consistent as it is now through out the day."


"I hope this helps some girls freaking out about getting their period and wondering if Plan B really works. I had a condom slip with my boyfriend a couple days before I ovulated and I am not on birth control (I will be now) and after four weeks I got my period early and no side effects. For all those of your girls freaking out after reading reviews on this I really felt better and now I hope I can do the same. Good luck and stay safe ladies!"


"I knew I wanted Nexplanon before I even had my daughter. I had the implant put in at the end of January  and I had a month long FULL "period" (post partum bleeding had stopped prior too). As of now, I am experiencing lighter periods, but I seem to spot every other week. I'm also experiencing the WORST mood swings EVER. It's actually scary. I'm not one who is usually sensitive to any med, but I'm on the verge of having this removed."


"Was prescribed this because apparently, I have insomnia coupled with anxiety. I tend to get hot at night and wake up sweaty multiple times at night and never can quite fall back asleep. Did not notice anything the first night but I did the following nights. Sleep quality has improved immensely. I can easily fight off the drowsiness, but as a reminder, it is supposed to be an aid. It feels like taking a Nyquil or a Benadryl."


"Hey ladies. So with my husband, I had used plan b a couple days ago, about 15 hrs after. Now I'm not going to know quite yet wether it works til I'm due for my period around the 20th of July.. but I'm not too concerned as Im not ovulating quite yet. And the only side effect, still is off and on nausea. But I see some people saying the pill won't work. Some insight.. if Ur ovulating, and have unprotected sex, u obviously have a high chance of pregnancy. With or without this pill. If you read, this pill is supposed to postpone/prevent ovulation so u can't become pregnant. Therefore, if u do have sex while ovulation, and want to take the pill, it's risky, but should be taken right after, otherwise may not work. Just a suggestion :)"


"I have been on Topamax for about 6 months for Migraines.  I take 50mg per day.  I am written to take 25mg morning and night but I take it all at night, which works better for me.  I have not had a single migraine since starting Topamax therapy and  I find it helps to stabilize my mood in conjunction with Effexor XR.  I also have cyclothemia.  I have also lost 45 pounds with this medication.  I have not noticed horrible side effects with exception of some tingling in my lower extremities, but it is not that bad and far less worse than the migraines I once suffered on a weekly basis.  I am very pleased with Topamax.  I refused to take Depakote because of weight gain and its effect on the liver."


"I was prescribed this to help alleviate my PMDD (severe depression associated with my hormones fluctuating around my menstrual cycle) and extreme menstrual cramps. I am at the end of week three of my first pack and the whole experience has been horrific. CLOSELY MONITOR YOURSELF when taking this if you have a history of depression and anxiety. I've been crying several times a day and have slept a full night in two weeks. I've felt more suicidal than I have in years and came close to checking myself into the hospital because my lows have been so severe. After talking to my SO today, it was confirmed that my mood has been greatly altered since beginning this medication. I have cramps everyday and am bleeding sooner and longer than normal."


"Was prescribed 20mg. TERRIBLE night horrors and sleep paralysis. Only taken two nights and I will never take it again.
I have no idea why nightmares aren't listed as a side effect. I don't know how this is an approved drug either."


"This medicine works well for me as a sleep agent and also reduces the itching from mosquito bites.  However, I have to be careful when I take it because it seems to last for a couple of days. The "withdrawal" from it the next day includes increased pain."


"Before the first week was up and before I even increased my dosage, I went from smoking almost 2 packs a day to less than 5.  When I tried to avoid smoking altogether right away, I had very bad headaches and a little achy.  I think it does help to taper down some so your body can adjust to the change of nicotine levels.  I have tried many times and many methods to quit smoking.  Zyban is by far the best."


"This pill works wonders. It's been a couple of weeks and I can definitely see significant improvement in the overall health of my nails! I would recommend this given that liver functions are normal before taking this."


"I have been talking Vyvanse for just a week. 40mg. The first 3 days I couldn't sit down. I cleaned my house and my parents. Not just cleaned but extra clean, like walls and moving furniture and everything. But now it has faded a little. I noticed right away that when I am doing stuff, its like I really concentrate and try perfection for everything. My appetite has been curved, but I still eat. But no where like I did before. So far I lost 4pds. It's been almost a week. I don't get any feeling of jitters, or that I'm taking speed. I feel normal, I just want to do stuff. I'm more social. I always stayed in my home, but now I just want to go out. It's very nice feeling. I have no problems sleeping either, but I also take it as soon as I wake up"


"Horrible cream.  It makes you more itch. I would not recommend monsitat for anyone. Don't waste your time and money for this product.
Thanks"


"I have been taking Concerta for (ADHD) about 3 months now.  The effects have been both positive and negative.  I started off with 36 mg and my grades were increasing rapidly, and I was more focused, but I started to become more antisocial, angry, I didn't have an appetite, I had sleeping problems and depression.  Then about two weeks ago I switched to 54 mg due to lack of focus, and my stomach has been troubling me. I'm having twitching problems, and I am hearing voices."


"I was Rxd clonodine for my severe hypertension at .2 three times a day and it helped TREMENDOUSLY with my blood pressure AND my methadone taper. I also take Metoprol... So far it's working great!"


"I have been stuck in prodromal labor for over two weeks, and after a lot of talking into and lack of sleep, I agreed with my midwife to try 1mg (only half of the normal dose) of stadol with zofran to ensure that I get some rest. Not only did I not rest, but my contractions got stronger (still not productive) and more painful, the room was spinning, and I still threw up for the duration. It kicked up contractions to 2 minutes long with only 30 seconds in between on top of of the vomiting and dizziness. Not to mention that I became very difficult to deal with and talk to at this point. It made a bad and emotionally trying day even worse. I will never use or recommend this drug."


"I have very few side effects. This medication is helping me for depression and anxiety. I fell a positive difference after 4 weeks."


"I have been taking fluvoxamine since 1995. For me it is a miracle. I had two major bouts of depression 12 years apart, took every medicine my doctor could find. This medicine was the only one to help me be fine every since."


"I was prescribed this for birth control because I didn't like the weight I gained on Yaz, but it was a mistake. For weeks I had horrible headaches to the point where I couldn't think, and then had terrible mood swings. Effective as a contraceptive, because I didn't get pregnant, but I was confused as to why I didn't feel like myself at all. After I figured out that it was probably Kariva, I stopped immediately.  I had no clue birth control pills could make me that crazy! After a month, I felt much better. Not taking this ever again."


"I was tested for MTHFR genetic mutations after several years of fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue type symptoms. BINGO! I have compound heterozygous mutations. Which can cause whole host of health issues, many I have been experiencing since youth.  Once I started 7.5mg of Deplin with Methyl b12 my aches, brain fog, and unrelenting fatigue started to diminish..this is a life changer!"


"I have had two doses.  My doctor (and myself and my family) are very happy with the progress thus far.  I am a 38 year old mother of three and am so thankful for this medication.  My doctor hopes to start weaning me off methotrexate in the next few months.  I applied for the patient care plan and have had no problems with it.  I picked up my first dose last month at the pharmacy without any glitches.  Almost all swelling and pain is gone.  I noticed that it fades a bit the last week before my next dose.  We'll see how it goes this month.  Still, leaps and bounds better than taking three different kinds of medicines!  Thank you Simponi."


"I have reoccuring respiratory infections, bronchitis...I had a very trying case last year with an abnormally persistent cough.  Tessalon perles was prescribed for the cough.  It was a God send!  Worked so well!  I have recommended it to everyone who has complained about coughing.  Very, very effective for me."


"My doc gave me the sample pack today he told me out of all the contraception  pills this one has very little estrogen which causes the unwanted effects I've been having since getting my iud almost a year ago.  I'm looking forward to starting it and getting my iud removed in 2 weeks. For the girls complaining about 10 pound weight gain I don't recommend getting the mirena as in the past year I've gained over 50 pounds :O"


"At 25 i started taking celexia. When I became pregnant less then a year later I noticed it not working any more. Then after my daughter was born I noticed a huge difference. My doctor perscribed my cymbalta, starting at 30mg and finally leveling out at 90mg. This is the best I have ever felt and have now been taking it for almost 5 years. A year ago I tried to lower my dosage (through my doctor of course) and with in the week noticed a huge difference, I was more irritable, less patient, and more anxiety. And when I dont take it for a few days my head pounds, I feel nausious, and not like my self at all. At the end of the day the good out ways the bad. Although I do wish they were not so expensive but how can you put a price on feeling normal?"


"i have suffered with anxiety and insomina for 15 years..trazadone with mirtazapine has changed my life for the better..i give it a 10 outa 10.."


"I am 67 years old and was diagnosed with Crohns at age 50. I have taken Pentasa for 16 years. I took 4x250mg three times daily and experienced chest pains. I cut it to 3x250x3times daily and that took care of the chest pains. I am a fairly petite woman so that could be a factor. I have had flare-ups but generally have done great. I tired cutting back myself and each time had severe pain, vomiting etc. I now know not to cut back. I hope to continue on Pentasa."


"Nice dose counter"


"Relax, if your reading this! The pill worked after I bought it for my gf. She got her period on the expected day and may have been a day earlier honestly! I was on pins and needs for 2 weeks but it came! Thank to Lord and pray! The pill does wonders! Good luck!!!"


"I had the mirena since 4 th june 2015, im 45, and had 12days of light spotting, and the odd headache now and then, and feel really good, i dont feel depresed, i would highly recomend the mirena!  You read all these stories, but everyone is different , so, far, so good!"


"To DIVERGIRL

Just bring your rx to another pharmacy and don't give them any insurance info...tell them u don't have any and you only have the coupon card..it shouldn't cost you more than 60-70$"


"I was given one Valium tablet 20mins before my Lasik eye surgery and another one for later that day. It completely relaxed me for my procedure and on top of that acted as a very strong pain killer. Obviously it was used in conjunction with local anesthetic eye drops."


"Had two failed back surgeries and started taking Norco 10/325 with great success. without Norco pain level 8-9, with Norco 5-6."


"Positives:  Slightly effective.  The pain reduced for the first 3 weeks or so.  Easy to use.
Negatives:  My hands became extremely swollen and I was unable to use them after my dose was raised (because the pain had returned).
"


"I have been taking Ultram (brand) for 7 years for the management of chronic neuropathy pain in my arms, legs, hands, and feet, and I wouldn't change it for anything.  Non-addictive, effective 90% of the time, it's a rare day when the pain exceeds the drug's ability to control it. Yes, there is some occasional residual background discomfort; with chronic pain that's to be expected.  However, as long as I can function normally without a lot of adverse side effects and addiction, I'm a happy camper.  Please note this is for the brand Ultram. I had serious issues with the generic (with the fillers, I think), and do not recommend generic at all."

"Well I'm the first one reviewing this... I got my Kyleena IUD placed on Dec. 2nd 2016. It was painful but no more so than other IUDs I've read about. The issues I'm having is contant spotting. I've been bleeding lightly (where I have to wear a light pad so I don't ruin my underwear every day) for two months now. The office told me about a month ago that my spotting is normal and most likely means once I stop spotting I'll be done with my period for the five years Kyleena is good for. But I'm starting to get a bit worried... two months of bleeding seems excessive. Any one else have experience with this?"


"I take 1mg/daily. So far it is very effective, I tend to be able to be more relaxed and can sleep with clear and peaceful thoughts where I used to be laying in bed 20 minutes thinking too much.  But seems not to do much for my social anxiety. Overall, pretty effective."


"I can't begin to describe to you the kinds of nightmares that this medication gave me.  Believe me.  You don't want to know about them.  It DID, however, prevent a migraine that would have most certainly occurred.  (It rained one day and weather changes are my biggest trigger.)  Yes, this medicine worked for me in the sense that it prevented a migraine. BUT!!!  I would rather treat an existing migraine than have these TERRIFYING dreams every night."


"I'm a middle aged woman.  Along with my first hot flash about 10 years ago, came the weight gain.  Since 2008 I had gained about 50 lbs.  Then, in the summer of 2016, I was in a clinical trial for Dasotraline. By the time Phase 1 had ended, I had gained 30 lbs, now weighed 225.  I've tried every combo of diet and exercise through the years,  I threw in the towel and was basically waiting to die. About 3 weeks ago, my head popped out of my butt and I decided I deserved to be happy and healthy.  Back in the gym, clean eating, and no diet soda.  The scale did not move. I had my physical.  Doc prescribed Qsymia.  Insurance did not cover.  My 1st weeks was reduced to $60 not free!!  I've been on for 3 days.  No changes yet  I'l keep you posted"


"I used to pay $75 without insurance for this cream because it worked so well. I used it so sparingly like it was gold, but it could clear my face in just 1-3 days. Last time I tried to get it the price had gone up to $140 and the pharmacist said it had been discontinued. I moved to the UK and couldn't find anyone who had heard of it. Just by a fluke I was on Amazon recently (Oct 2015) and saw a 10% sulpher soap advertised on the side. When I searched for it, I found several types for under $7.50 for a BIG 200g bar. They also had a cream. My face was very swollen and red from being in the sun and lots of humidity I think. Within 3 days of using the soap twice a day followed by the cream my face was completely clear! Love it!"


"I have had Irritable Bowel Syndrome-chronic constipation since 2001. I have been to hell and back. Been in the hospital SEVERAL times for being so "backed up". I have been on several different meds and OTC things for constipation. My gastro doc finally told me one of the reasons I suffer gas (can't burp) is because of being backed up. She put me on Miralax LONG term. I take it once a day. If you suffer or know anyone that does get on Miralax and never be without it."


"Was able to get a prescription within 48 hours of my flu symptoms. Horrible body aches, headache, sore throat, cough, fever, and chills. The stuff has really worked!  My symptoms were reduced considerably including my fever after two dosages. I have not had any of the other problems mentioned in these reviews at this time,  well into day two of taking the pills twice a day. Although I had absolutely no appetite, I made sure I ate a little something with the pill.  This may be partially why I have not had digestive issues, I really have not been eating.  Other than a little bit with the pill twice a day."


"I am 31 years old male and currently taking 100mg once a day. I have taken doxy 3 years ago for 4 months and it definitely worked like a miracle back then. I am glad my skin stayed fine for 3 years!! Sad part is..its back again! I never had any side effects especially if you are having plenty of fluids and not mixing with other supplements such as Iron and multivits tablets. In the beginning I felt as if my skin was more responsive to hot and cold temperatures but it's gone now. I would highly recommend doxy to all suffering from mild to severe acnes BUT you have to be patient to see it working!"


"I have been taking Wellbutrin XL for so many years that I can't remember when I started it.  It has been the only med that has really worked for me.  I tried generic bupropion and cannot take it because it upsets my stomach and does not have the same effect on my mood or emotions.

Now I am in a quandry.  In March I go on Medicare and was already told that Medicare will not pay for Wellbutrin.  I don't know what to do.  For about 2 years I have been getting it through the manufacturer's discount program, but once I go on Medicare, I can't get it through the manufacturer either.  This really stinks!  I hope someone has a solution because I cannot afford $1,500/month for a prescription!"


"I was on the progestin only pill for 10 months & pretty much hated it. Had to be on it because I couldn't have any birth control that contained estrogen due to a family history of bloodclots. The POP was effective yes, but I had crazy mood swings, acne, low sex drive, & gave me vaginal dryness, which made sex extremely painful. My gyno had been trying to get me to try the IUD for almost a year, so I decided to try it since I about had it with that pill. I went in today for my insertion. I had some issues because my cervix was tight, and I have an introverted uterus. She had to use the sonogram to help place it correctly. So what should have been a 5 min procedure took 20 min. It was painful, but bearable. Just felt like period cramps. "


"After forking out $86 (!) for this stuff I followed the instructions and it worked without issue within an hour. Just make sure you're near a toilet for the next couple of hours afterwards. I didn't find the flavor all that bad, it wouldn't be something I'd choose to drink taste wise but it was easy enough to deal with. After the procedure I ate my usual food again and everything returned to normal a day later."


"I was told to take this 40 years ago, but didn't like the taste/texture.  My pain and diarrhea got so bad I started taking 1 scant tablespoon a day and I have no more pain and only rare diarrhea.  I wish I had started using it years ago."


"This medicine is allowing me to focus on what is important. Started on 50mg, had feelings of euphoria for the first couple of days, then a few of the regular side effects such as little sleep, nausea and suicidal ideation, which eventually all passed. I also had bloodshot eyes for a while, most likely due to lack of sleep and working night shift.

I have gone up to 100mg as I was feeling anxiety effects in the evening and had started taking one at night as well as in the morning.

I am not worrying about the smaller things, important events still cause me some anxiety but I am able to tackle them with a clearer mind instead of the anxiety crippling my ability for action.

I can tell this medication will help me get my priorities in order."


"I was very sceptical that an anti-depressant would help with my persistent burning mouth syndrome. My symptoms were severe, burning tongue, roof of the mouth, and throat. After many tests and no results, my doctor suggested amitriptyline. It worked almost immediately, and after two weeks, almost all the pain is gone.

The side effects are minimal, dry mouth and disturbed dreams which seem to have diminished after a month or so. It's worth it for me."


"The only medicine that works on my bronchitis I've tried others and suffered more. For me it starts working in 2 days. No side effects for me just relief. I love it. But I really need to quit smoking. I wouldn't get it so often, get it at least 2 times a year."


"As all above have written I too got reoccurring urinary tract infections. Would do everything I was told, take antibiotics, but it just went on and on. My doctor gave me Hiprex bottle of 100, needed a script for the big bottle, told me stay on it for 10 to 20 days then lower to 1 a day for a week or stop if I felt okay. Within 24hrs the urgency that bothered me most was gone, that was a year ago, today I woke after past 48hrs stressed rushing round nothing to drink and have the start of a UTI so I just took my 1st Hiprex and will take it for 10 days and see how I go."


"I have been abusing opiates for the past two or so years, taking about 130mg of hydrocodone a day.  Today I went to a medical doctor and told him what's going on. I was too scared to tell my doctor because I didn't want the information in my chart. I broke down and told him the reason I was there because withdrawals suck. For me, the restless legs at night, not able to sleep, fatigued during the day. Anyway, he prescribed Clonidine and Vistaril and signed me up for a Psych appt for Suboxone next week. I'm deathly afraid to come off.  Tomorrow will be my first day trying this to see if I can before work Monday."


"I have been on Lutera for going on four months. It seems to be working well. I haven't had any weight gain or issues with mood swings. I have noticed a couple things that I am thinking may be from this birth control though. One is constipation and the other is acne. I have never had an issue with acne but since taking Lutera I have had a breakout on my back. "


"Caused tightness in chest and nausea"


"Soooo I started taking singulair montelukast for about a month now. It's been helping my asthma a lot but I've been having horrible depression. I'm very angry most of the time. Everything and anything anyone says will make me irate. I've been having suicidal thoughts. Honestly I rather cough up a lung than be crazy because of this medicine"


"I have been taking amitriptyline on and off for over three years after a serious road accident, where my pelvis was crushed and I suffered major nerve damage. It really really works, but I am trying to get off it permanently because of the side effects. It helps with pain and sleep, which are my two biggest complaints, but the side effects of constipation, dry mouth and a weight gain of 50 pounds (from 120 to 170) are really quite terrible, especially when taken in connection with other side effect causing drugs. I would be very careful about taking this drug. It's very important to weigh the costs vs benefits. Since I was a trauma patient, I didn't have much choice in the matter and I am still living with the consequences."


"I used Boniva I.V. once. Had flu like symptoms, headache, runny nose, watery eyes, chest pain and achy hips. Wont take it again!"


"I'm 26, and i've been on this BC for a little over 6 months now. I have nothing bad to say about it, because I've had the most positive experience on BC than any of the other dozen BC's I've tried in my life. I got it 6 weeks after having my beautiful princess. Since then, my sex drive hasn't changed, my skin is clearer, I've lost weight, i don't have mood swings (but we all have bad days...) , I haven't had a period, and i've never had to remember to take a damn pill!! #victoryismine"


"I just started taking prozac, and I have had this terrible migraine. Its worse than any migraine I have ever had. I've been throwing up and sleeping throughout the day. I don't feel myself at all."


"Mirena IUD was the best decision I ever made. It gave me my life back. I almost lost my job due to extremely debilitating periods. I bled on and off for the first 3 months and still had some cramps. By 6 months my period had almost disappeared. I've had the IUD for 4 years now and I'll be lining up for another one in 12 months time."


"I had acne towards the end of middle school going into high school and by my sophomore year it was really a full blown problem. My cheeks and my forehead and almost every part of my face was covered in acne. After trying antibiotics and creams for 2 years I was recommended Accutane. The first 4 months I did not see that much in results but when the 5th month hit it was intense. My face cleared up right away and I look like a completely different person! It was amazing. There were downsides though, the depression that it causes is real. I have been off the medication now for 3 1/2 years with my skin still looking great."


"This medicine completely helped my vulvodynia.  At my worst before the medication, I was in constant burning pain and could not sit down for extended periods of time. Nortriptyline started working for me after about two weeks. At first I was a little dizzy and very sleepy. I did have more constipation. But the sleepy/dizzy feeling did wear off, and I was so happy to have the edge taken off the pain, I didn't mind the side effects. I was on it for about 10 years with minimal pain flareups. I am doing better now. The pain is not completely gone, but nortriptyline was the answer I needed."


"i just had a total abdominal hysterectomy done 3 days ago 11/15/16. Dilaudid was awful for me. I was given it via IV along with anti neasea meds. Every time I could feel a wave of warmth and then within mins was vomiting terribly. I told them 11 hours after surgery that I didn't want any more and to giver only Tylenol. The vomiting stopped. I wouldn't recommend this at all"


"I have been using the patch for just under 6 months now and I love it! I like it SO much more than the pill. Easier to remember and I just feel so much more protected. Something that I found interesting was I tried 3 different pills and had bad side effects with all of them. I haven't had one single issue since I've switched to the patch. I highly recommend!!!!"


"I fail to comprehend why trimipramine is not prescribed more by doctors as I have found it to be the best tricyclic on the market.
I am diagnosed with personality disorder, bi-polar condition, PTSD, anxiety and depression. I take Venlafaxine 375mg, Quetiapine 300mg, Trimipramine 200mg and Diazepam 20mg.
I have been mentally unwell for around 45 years and I have found that Trimipramine is the best tablet for sedation and insomnia, and it gives me enormous relief generally speaking.
The only negative side is a very dry mouth, and I visit my dentist more frequently as the dry mouth can cause teeth decay."


"This pill slows my heart down and relaxes me. I actually feel calm. I also take 0.5 Xanax with this and Wellbutrin 200mg. I have agoraphobia and these pills together help me function NORMALLY. YES CAN YOU BELIEVE IT **NORMALLY**. I never thought normal would ever be in my vocab."


"This worked well for me at 40 mg/day. My doc said it was ok even though only 20 mg is the suggested max.

Although it really helped with my MDD, I also had tremors in my hands. They were problematic enough tat I stopped the drug.

Back on old reliable Zoloft 150 ... Works fine!"


"My doctor put me on this medicine for depression.  I have known for quite a while I was depressed but I never told anyone. I feel better already.  Took my first dose today.  It works quickly. I am not crying all day, not worrying all day and I feel better TODAY. This is not in my mind. It really does work. I imagine within a week I will notice a really big difference.  Depression had caused me not to want to do anything at all.  Going to work was even almost impossible.  Now I found some help."


"My insurance company would not provide me with two Celebrex a day.  After consulting my pharmacist, I tried the meloxicam (15 mg) and it works better than Celebrex for me - inflammation is my major problem, and I'm pleased.  Also, Meloxicam is much cheaper.  IMPORTANT - Take with meals to avoid stomach problems."


"I treated with Interferon in 2001 and with Pegasyst in 2010,both of these meds ruined my life! It has caused Chronic Pancreatitis,Chronic Bronchitis,R.A.,SLE Lupus,Sjogrens,Fibro.,CFS and many other Health problems.Before treatment I was a health nut...bench pressed well over 300 lbs...now I can barely wipe my own a##!! These meds have just about taken me out of this world!.And I look and can not believe that there is no lawsuit against the Pharma companys"


"I was put on Terazol 0.8% after my results came back showing I had a yeast infection. My GYN had noticed some discharge prior prescribing me Terazol. First day went okay but my second day I noticed some discomfort. I had a little bit of irritation/burning but was told by my provider that's normal & continue the medication. By my 3rd day after inserting my last dose I still noticed the same symptoms as day two. I hope this last dose of it zaps this YI away! I will come back with an update."


"After suffering with fibromyalgia for over 20 years I am so relieved to have found Savella.  I took an article I read to the nurse covering for my doctor and she read the reviews and gave me a prescription.  I started with 50 mg per day and now take 200mg per day and have been taking it for almost 2 months!  Yes, I have had some severe sweats, but they are nothing compared to the pain, depression, etc. I have had for so long.  Even after reading the side effects and drug interactions I won't go off of it for anything.  It is the first real relief I have had since they decided my pains were real.  Dr. had originally put me on Cymballta but I couldn't stand the way it made me feel--first week I was a mess and friends noticed big difference."


"I was prescribed Risedronate  Sodium 35 mg, in April 17  I have suffered with osteo arthritis of my knees for 10 years  despite this I have remained very active leading a nice life, however these past 6 weeks my arthritis and mobility has deteriorated. I am finding walking very difficult I am in a lot of pain and stiffness I am using a walking stick and not wanting to go out. Taking this medication is ruining my life."


"I have been on metoprolol for well over a year now and have not had any negative side effects. The only thing I ever experienced was slight tiredness for a few days after having my dose increased."


"We are disappointed.  My 14 year old son has taken 40 mg 1x/day for 18 days and his skin is worse than ever.  He seems more moody than normal and his lips are super chapped (I feel like the chapped-lip police with my chapstick in hand).  We really hoped for results of any kind with his cystic acne.  We are going to try a higher dose after he gets the blood test in a week or so. He is discouraged. The cost of the higher dosage is almost prohibitive.  Our insurance doesn't cover meds because we have a high deductible but we feel that clearing up his acne is important for his self esteem.  It seems criminal to charge so much for meds."


"This medicine caused serious problems with my heart."


"I got the rod put in Feb of 2016.. sooo 14 months, and this thing has been bad ever since I got it. I got my period like a week after and was on it for two weeks. I usually only get my period for 3/4 days. But my periods stayed like that for a while , then they started lasting 3 weeks , and then I'd spot for the last week. And now I've had my period for a whole month .. I'm getting this out ASAP. I have changed from the person I used to be . Always moody . Kinda felt like I was a little depressed . But I did lose weight on it , but so not worth it and I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND"


"I have been taking this medicine for 2 years and it is the only thing that has worked for me. I finally asked my doctor about a non narcotic anxiety drug, and she gave me BuSpar. I am so grateful. I still have some unwarranted worries, but no where near the level I have experienced them without BuSpar."


"I completely agree...miracle drug.  If I stop taking this for any reason I WILL get sick.  In combination with Lactulose, I feel like a new person.  Thank you to the docs that figured this out!!!"


"Effexor XR is effective in low dose for hot flashes. Sadly the doctors follow the guidelines presented by the pharmaceutical companies for dosing and everyone is different. DO NOT take 75 mg a day! .

 LOW DOSE is effective for both hot flashes and mild depression . I mean open up the capsule, count out 10 of the small balls of medicine and take that daily. After 2 weeks less effective and  can increase to 15 to 20 balls a day.  Track HFs  on a calendar. Never stop without tapering down! COUNTER WITHDRAWAL WITH VALIUM, XANAX, ATAVAN, any benzos will do. These will stop brain jolts or vertigo withdrawal symptoms!!!!  This med Iis strong. If this dosnt work for you, you can always increase. With my plan you can avoid withdrawal completely!"


"My experience with this birth control was HORRIBLE! It was the first one I've ever taken. My periods were every 3.5 weeks for four days, light, rarely ever cramped, and never really moody. I got on the birth control for birth control that's it. I told my doctor that and she prescribed this. My moods were insane! The slightest thing would set me off and I'd go through about 20 moods in 10min. My periods were no longer normal. I bled for two weeks every two weeks for the first 6 months. I called my doctor's office every couple weeks but they continued to tell me keep taking it. At about month 7 my period regulated then by month 9 I wasn't even having periods. The crazy moods never stopped and the cramps were horrible. I recently switched bc."


"Works well for moderate pain, works in 30 minutes or so."
