Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I'm in day five and it is terrible. I have woke the last two nights with chest pain,side hurt, back pain and numbness in both arms.Went away in about a hour.Have the worst yeast infection of my life. I'm so tired most of the time.When I start to do anything I give out. Will be so glad when I finish. Will let you know how I do."


"I used the Plan B One-Step about 3-4 hours after the condom broke. My period came right on time, and I had no side effects. IT WORKS!!"


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I've been taking 150mg x 2 per day for 5 weeks.  I started it prior to a right side A-flutter ablation, and then a month later, a left side A-fibrillation ablation.  I was on Coumadin for about two years while we got to the root cause of my cardiac issues, and I DO NOT miss bi-weekly sticks etc. when adjusting medicines up or down depending on INR results.  The only downside for me is the slight nausea and daily loose bowel movements.  I do a bit of traveling for work, and it can make the flying portion of travel rather nerve wrecking."


"I was on Latuda for 3 weeks and it was horrible. Where to begin. From day 2 I was unable to sleep at all. I averaged 2 hours of sleep for 3 weeks straight! Fortunately my Bipolar 1 and Schizoaffective Disorder were held in check. I don't know how. My sleep has now come back due to 100mg of Seroquel. Albeit I can not fall asleep without it. The worst lingering side effect has been with my tongue. It is constantly pushed up against the roof of my mouth! It never ends. I also constantly grind and clench my teeth. This has been the worst experience with any medication I have been on. I am also on 900mg of Lithium and 300mg of Lamictal."


"I had the worst experience ever!! I went to get the iud inserted. While I was certainly expecting some discomfort, it was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life, and this was after my csection. Yes, it hurt worse than my csection. I could barely talk the entire day I was in so much pain. My husband actually carried me to the car because my legs kept giving out. The first 3 days I was pretty much bed ridden. After a month I felt okay, but sex was so painful I could barely stand it. I would get shocking pains.I was shocked when I didn't have my period to find out I went through all of this pain to be pregnant 5 months later. Iud was no where to be found. It had expelled somehow."


"I was diagnosed with migraines at 19, and there has been a steady increase in frequency and severity as I aged. At 49 they became intractable and I ended up on disability. Botox became the last option. It's been nothing short of a miracle. My cluster and ice pick ha's stopped, I've had only two throbbing migraines in 4 mos, and my photosensitivity has improved. It took about 10 days for it to kick in the first time. The pokes of the injections are a very small price to pay for the benefit I've seen."


"I love this medicine, would give it a 10 but it is always an ordeal to get it. I tried the genetic and it did not control my seizures as well. Super expensive but worth it. I can work, have a family and go outside during the day."


"I took Requip 4mg one time and it was terrible! Within 30 minutes I was very nauseated. By 3am I was throwing up. I felt so fatigued all day. I felt like I did when I would go out and tie one on  (been out drinking) . I won't take this medication again."


"I am 5' 6" and was 190 lbs. when I started this medicine. I began taking this medication 3 weeks ago as part of the Doctor G's Weight Loss Program.  At the end of 2 weeks, I was down 9 pounds.  I don't get weighed again until Week 4.

I have not been hungry at all.  I am only taking half the recommended dose because I truly believe that taking medication is never healthy.  However, I am in the military and need to lose weight for this year's waist measurement.  A hysterectomy has really screwed things up for me."


"When this drug is given regularly, can give the life back to the patients. I have seen their hygiene get better and them get more social."


"I had a myometomy over 7 years ago. I had a relief of not experiencing abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, blood clots and cramping when having my menstrual cycle. Fast forward 7 years later- I have those same symptoms---abdominal pain, heavy bleeding, blood clots and cramping. I KNEW my fibroids grew back! After extensive testing (ultrasound) it was confirmed by my doctor. She said the fibroid was on the OUTSIDE of my uterine wall and not on the inside. She gave me options- surgery or birth control. I chose birth control and she put me on Junel 1/20. So far, very little cramping and NO BLOOD CLOTS and ABDOMINAL PAIN. Mind you, I still take ibuprofen but, I'm more physically outgoing and not bed ridden or curled up into a ball."


"Be warned. This product is strong chemical and should not be applied all over 'the affected area' that has healthy skin with couple of blocked pores/comedones  but ONLY ON SPOTS. I've burned my skin with this product, trying to recover this dry, patchy, red mess has caused new breakouts. I also got 3 new breakouts after first application. After second they got smaller in size (for that it gets better rate than 1). After 3rd I looked like I've been attacked. I've stopped using it and won't continue due to bad reaction. My skin is at all time low and I would have been better off without it."


"If you have mild back pain then this drug works well. I am 16 and after 8 months on Norco 10/325 I am now moving to schedule 2 drugs which are oxycodone but for the 8 months this drug worked very well."


"Hilarious! It kept me AWAKE ALL Night. IT had no affect on me at all."


"I had been given Lasix 20 mg for swollen feet and lower legs. It didn't work so the doctor upped it to 40 mg. That didn't work either. So then he prescribed Metolazone 5 mg. This worked. But it took a few weeks. Since I am the first person writing a review, I assume this isn't prescribed often."


"I have been on antidepressants for 5 yrs and several of them made me gain weight and I always had this feeling of shakiness.  My Dr switched me to a combo of Wellbutrin XL and Prozac 20mg.  I've lost like 15 pounds and feel way better!!  Made such a huge difference for me in how I feel about myself.  I agree with others that have posted, I only take brand name meds.  I've heard so many issues with how generics don't work as well.  To me, to feel better and finally be able to enjoy life, it is worth it.  My two cents..."


"Wow!"


"I was started on 300mg at night for a week, then 600mg, up to 1800mg at night.
I loved in the first week and a half  (it erased most of my pain and my anxiety!) but then got headaches from the 600mg dosage.
I stopped for a week then began again with 100mg in the morning, 100mg in the afternoon and sometimes 100mg at night. It works! A lot less pain, a lot less anxiety and my negative thoughts seemed to have mostly disappeared. I exercise, work, like normal. I recommend this medicine highly, but start slow. I like taking it mid day when my pain starts to kick in, taking a huge dosage at night makes me groggy in the morning."


"I'm very frustrated.  I gained so much weight on Seroquel, but felt great.  But, I continued to gain weight so switched to Latuda.  I'm miserable.  I cannot sleep, which of course makes everything worse. I've tried it for a week and am having to switch back now. I hope I can find something eventually that helps me sleep and feel stable, but I don't gain weight."


"It's helpful when I need a boost in getting work done. When my pain is so unbearable, most times the medicine does not work."


"This is my second year on this & I'm already about to get this taken out. I absolutely HATE IT. It doesn't make me gain weight at all.. while I was on this I probably gained about 5-10 pounds and thats it. I weigh 115. One thing I really hate about this is I'm constantly bleeding. I'll be bleeding for a month & be off for about 2 weeks or 1 & I'll be back on. Not just that, ever since I've been on this I've been sad, mad, every mood in the book. It works and everything but honestly I just think this is the worst birth control ever! (I didn't try every birthcontrol). I'm moving to the shot. This is the worst thing I can ever get. I hate it. I definitely don't recommended this. It makes me not even wanna have sex anymore. This thing is horrible!!"


"I was prescribed Norco 5/325 to manage post-operative pain from a tooth extraction.

The first time I took it, I took one pill  became really nauseous and didn't feel any pain relief.

The second time I took 2 pills. I didn't develop nausea, which was good, but I also didn't experience any pain relief or drowsiness. It was like I hadn't taken anything at all."


"While it is effective in lowering blood pressure, I have experienced  side effects, to include ringing in the ears, dizziness, rapid heart beat, odd muscle pain and slightly elevated liver values.  I also experienced rapid weight gain when switched to a generic version of the medicine."


"I have Angina and over the past year began a regime of Bayer (or Bufferin) starting at 500mg every morning. Things got a little worse after six months and I upped my dosage to 1000mg per day. This was all self medication without medical consult (I knew what the problem was). Finally even the 1000mg a day wasn't working and I went to see the doctor. He put me on 50mg of Lopressor per day and things turned around within 2 days. The pain is gone and I can get a whole nights sleep without waking up in the middle of the morning (usually 3-4am, when the incidence of heart attack is the highest statistically) in major pain. So far so good. If you have Angina then DO see a doctor. Get the tests! After all, it's really your life your dealing with."


"It startet a year ago with 0.5mg Clonazepam, now I am on 1.5 mg of Clonazepam, it basically stopped working for my insomnia. I went to see my doc, he prescribed me Temazepam (Restoril) which has a very short half life, half of that of Clonazepam, sure enough it didn't work! I called my doctor and he said he would call in Ativan (Lorazepam) at my pharmacy, I should take 1 mg. Ativan has an even shorter half life than Temazepam, besides the equivalent dosage of 1.5 mg Clonazepam is 3 mg! of course that 1 mg didn't do anything. And on top of that I got withdrawing symptoms from not taking Clonazepam! I called my doctor again, he was agitated and told me to take 30 mg Temazepam together with 1 mg Ativan together with 10 mg Zyprexa!!!! I fired him"


"Great medicine. Worked fast for my daughter's ear infection."


"I've been using Cryselle for three months now and it has been amazing!!! I used to get horrible cramps that often made me nauseous and that resulted in me missing several days of school just because of my period. Since I've been on this birth control, my period changed from 5 days to 3 days and I bleed much lighter with mild to no cramps. The first couple weeks I had some mood swings and cravings for food but it stopped after the first month. The only downside to it is it will make you feel nauseous if you take it at night and my breasts are very tender and sore during my period. But other than that A++!!!"


"I went to my doctor in april of 2000, my weight was 218 lbs and I am only 5 ft 1 inch, so you can imagine me being just as round as tall. I took the pills 3 x a day and walked 1 to 2 miles twice a day. I was down to 135 lbs by the following summer of 2001. I did put on some weight starting in 2003 to 2004 as I had got married and my whole cooking habits changed. I am walking on my treadmill daily now and eating better. Trying to take it off again."


"I started taking these pills January 2016 I was a 112 pounds my height is 5 5 my age of 33 it is now June 8th 2016 and I weigh a 148 pounds. I am so excited these pills really do work if you're looking to gain weight I take my pills 3 times a day with a multivitamin"


"I started one week ago taking 2 per day as prescribed but forgot 2 days to take second dose at work, so last 4 days only taking 10mg in morning. Not hungry at all. Eating mostly Paleo diet, some cardio exercise, and have lost 6.9 pounds in last 1 week. I am very impressed! Slight headache, dizziness, "high" feeling first few days, but have gone away."


"I just wish I found Suboxone sooner!  8  months so far, hopefully many more to go!"


"I was on Ativan for Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Panic Disorder.  It worked okay, however once I started seeing a specialist, I changed to Klonopin.  I find that Klonopin is much more consistent, meaning I don't feel it kick in and wear off like I did the Ativan, this apparently is due to its longer half-life.  I did find out the hard way, that these are abused by some people, so don't leave them accessible in any way.  I had mine stolen once, bad experience!"


"I've been on this medicine for about 3 months now and it has been a life saver for me when it comes to getting some sleep.  I normally take 2 four mg tabs and I am able to sleep for 3 to 4 hours each new night.  Prior to being prescribed this medicine I would get at most 1 to 1 1-2 hours of sleep a night with the help of past n medication.  I have several problems were the my back, neck and legs plus fibromyalgia.  I can't tell you how happy I am that my  rheumatologist prescribed this med for help sleeping at night.  I've tried  Flexeril and I as so doped up the next day that all I wanted to do was sleep.  Count me as one that has had great results and might ask my Dr. If it's possible to take a small dose during the day."


"66 yo with badly damaged ankles--both need replacement, which I won't do until absolutely necessary.  Bad back; recent wrist surgery.  Hamstring injury taking months for recovery.  And some shoulder pain.  All from a lifetime of sports competition, injuries, and overuse.

I take Tramadol 37.5 with acetaminophen and it really helps.  Take around 3 to 5 a week.  Have tried the time release 200 mg and it really worked, but knocked me silly for the first couple hours.  Ultracet really helps and I'm wary of additive potential since I feel hopeful/moderate well-being on it, but at my age--what the hack."


"I have been on Phentermine for many months now Doctored monitored I have lost almost 40 lbs.... But tolerance seems to build up and mg needs increased - I seem to be plateauing, Overall great med for weightloss -- Although I lost a job opportunity - even though I submitted all info to company and told them I would be flagged for amphetimine in drug screening they still wouldnt hire and I submitted complaint to Americans with Disabilities act, Stop taking 6 days before pee test if trying to get a job."


"I have been on Warfarin for about 6 months now.  I had a kidney removed and later it was discovered through testing that I had a blood clot in my leg, therefore, my physician put me on Warfarin.  I have been up and down with my dosages as one time my INR was too high and then it's too low - as of now I am alternating doses every other day - I will see next week if that helps keep my INR steady.  I have not noticed any side effects from this drug, but I am also on a kidney drug which has given me quite a few side effects so maybe I just don't notice any from the Warfarin."


"I took this medication for a tooth infection. I have ulcers so I was concerned. My dentist told me a trick.. drink a half glass of water then eat half of your meal, take the pill, finish your meal and follow with full glass of water. Don't lay down for an hr. I followed his instructions and boom not one side effect.  No stomach pain at all. ALWAYS take with food. Medication works wonders. I take 300mg 3x a day."


"Was on Lyrica for peripheral neuropathy and fibromyalgia. However, symptoms remained intense and quality of life was severely compromised. In comparison, within days of switching to 90mg Cymbalta daily, symptoms dramatically improved with little side effects."


"After having such severe anxiety to the point of being suicidal, I have with the help of Valium been able to function again. Valium has saved my life."


"It was effective in lowering my blood pressure from 150/95 down to 128/83 on average. However, this drop came at a tremendous expense to my lifestyle. I've felt very low energy, occasional dizziness, headaches and general lack of interest in anything. My appetite dropped and I stopped feeling life inside me. In a nutshell, harmful side effects make this drug ineffective in solving BP problems"


"Stop breathing. Had to be intubated for 3 days."


"I started Topamax in 2005. Doctor said he was going to kill three birds with one stone; migraines, fibromyalgia, and weight. Started on 25mg a day for the first week, 50 the next, then 75 and at a month I was at 100mg. Every week I had different side effects. I would talk funny, not be able to walk, tingly feeling in my extremities, and soda started tasting DISGUSTING! By the end of two months most of the side effects had gone. A few things to mention though; you WILL be thirsty all the time; my suggestion is to carry a bottle of water with you at ALL times. You will NOT sweat; make sure you keep cool. And I lost 76lbs in 6 mo! Looking better than ever, and kept it off for 6 years now! Good luck to you all, stick to it and it will work for you."


"I developed psoriasis after the birth of my first child.  It responded well to Taclonex, but I had to stop using it for my second pregnancy.  My elbows, and now the tops of my feet, became really bad recently and I called for a new prescription.  After weeks of terrible discomfort it is almost cleared in a few days time.  I have never experienced any side effects.  I love this medicine."


"It makes my hand a little shaky."


"Overall I liked this pill. The positives outweighed the negatives for me. Initially I took it to change my cycle due to a vacation I was going on. I decided to stay on it for another 4 months as birth control. The positives- regular period, no weight gain, no breakthrough bleeding, no more cramping, no co-pay, and NO babies! The negatives- mood swings, leg cramps, occasional cystic acne (a week before and during placebo week), remembering to take it everyday, and breast tenderness. Eventually I got tired of remembering to take a pill everyday, so I switched to the Nexplanon arm implant which has been great so far. If the pill doesn't work out for you, there are other good options!"


"I felt very little positive effect when I was on 150 SR  for two months. After I switched to XL 300 I noticed a change. I have been taking this for about two months. All I can say is HANG IN THERE! For me the side effects were awful and it took so long to start feeling better. But now I do! I feel like myself again--I don't feel blissfully happy and I still get down at times but I feel like a normal human being. This quite literally saved my life."


"I switched from Paxil to Paroxetene to save co-pay money.  Big mistake.  I learned very quickly that the generic is inferior to the brand, and I would not recommend switching.  The generic can be manufactured anywhere in the world and the chemical formula differs from one manufacturer to the next.  The generic version left me irritable and slightly depressed, even though my Dr. said there was no difference between them.  I spent six months of the generic (job stress was the culprit) and then switched permanently to the brand."


"This drug actually added on to my problems with my migraines. I became so dizzy, sweat nonstop, and can't seem to find a good night of sleep since being on this medicine."


"AT LAST IM FREE OF BV. After years of BV I'm finally smell free. I can't even tell you how amazing this drug is. I've had zero side effects and I don't even care if the pill has a slight taste to it its far from the smell I was experiencing. I started to see results from day 2."


"Love it!  Other birth control products cause crazy mood swings for me but with this one none.  Plus it is easy!  I don't have to remember to take a pill every day.  If you live a busy life like I do this is the birth control to have!"


"I just started Seasonique almost two months ago.  For about the first five weeks, it was fine and I didn't have a period or spotting.  Although, for the last three weeks I've been bleeding like a normal period.  Also, ever since I started taking it, my libido is really low and I simply have no sex drive.  My gyno says that the bleeding is just my body getting used to the new drug, but honestly, a three week period."


"I have had a bad case of hemorrhoids for 6 months now and have tried everything otc, even a few trips to the ER! I finally was referred to a general surgeon who said while yes I have some hemorrhoids, I also have an anal fissure. He prescribed Proctofoam and so far so good! No pain, no bleeding! My insurance did not cover this and I had to pay $135, but it has been worth it! When I go back to the Dr in 10 days, I will update my review and rating!"

"After Orth-tricyclen and Yaz, both of which gave side effects. So I tried Aviane and am quite pleased with it. Other than finding it difficult to get sleep sometimes, I haven't experienced any bad side effects. I also like that it's so inexpensive."


"Have been taking Buspar for over 10 years along with an antidepressant.  Before taking Buspar, anxiety attacks were so bad that I could not work for several years.  I take it at night and no side effects, unlike other anti-anxiety medicines."


"I was given Rx for lamictal when we finally discovered I had cyclothymic disorder vs. Generalized AD and MDD. I felt great on effexor xr for awhile, then was having severe anxiety  (I thought) which turned out to be a bipolar episode.  We added lamictal and decreased my effexor from 300mg to 150mg. Now I am able to recognize my cycles and take 150mg of effexor from October to march then 75mg effexor March to October. I take 150mg lamictal all year and 1mg klonopin at bedtime every night to sleep. I  am also allowed 1 klonopin daily as needed but rarely need to use that. Lamictal  is my wonder drug!!! After suffering for 20 years trying to figure out the right combination of meds to feel good I  am on track!"


"It works wonders. I'm no longer depressed or tired. Everyone who qualifies for a prescription should get it"


"I took three tablets last night. I expected all the things that are mentioned in other reviews. I did not even have any cramping. I woke up at my usual time. I did not have a sudden urge to use the bathroom. I just tried to go and was able to. I do have diarrhea and have gone a few times already, but I expect to get diarrhea when I take a laxative."


"When my hypothyroidism went low enough to treat 15 years ago, I was given Levoxyl, adjusted up to 150 mcg. Fibromyalgia of 23 years worsened. In last 4 years, I developed severe fatigue crashes, heat and exercise intolerance, anxiety, depression, water retention, leg and back muscle weakness/wasting/pain. Tests normal. I exhausted best rheumatologist and neurologist in town, two normal muscle biopsies. Thyroid levels top of normal. Doctors kept me there, prescribing prednisone and five other medicines for fatigue and pain. Sudden breathing problems occurred. Hyperthyroidism exhausted my adrenals. New doctor put me on Armour, lower at 75 mg two weeks ago. I feel fantastic - more strength, less pain/weakness!"


"Tried everything to help with toothache over the weekend.  Had to ring NHS Direct Dental and they suggested trying Ibuprofen.  Thank God they did !!!  Within half hour was able to function again without the pain.  Would recommend to anyone suffering toothache."


"I had been struggling to poop for about a week. Straining on the toilet and only a pebble would come out. My stomach was so bloated and big people asked me if I was pregnant. I was so embarrassed so I asked my husband sister who is a nurse practitioner what does she recommend and she suggested magnesium citrate lemon flavor cvs brand. It tasted really good I gulped the entire 10 oz. bottle and waited for the party to begin. I took it around 3:30pm and laid down because I was feeling gassy, around 6:30pm I woke up to a bubbly stomach. I thought I had to pass gas but I ran to the toilet because I didn't know what to expect. Omg it was like a 4th of July finale! A huge splash of liquid like poop came out. I am waiting for more to happen."


"Tried everything in the past: training, courses, learning complete presentations by heart. Nothing helped and symptoms became worse. Intense anticipatory anxiety, not be able to sleep for days, could not think about something else. Blackouts during presentations. Described by my GP and it's a miracle. I'm now giving presentations like a pro, even getting compliments from my supervisor. Also, the anticipatory anxiety is almost gone. I can even have a good sleep the evening before my presentation. I believe that this medicine is not registered for this specific use. I don't understand why, it really works and for sure it's not a placebo effect."


"I have been on it for about 2 months have yet to notice any difference. I still pee every 90  to 120 minutes at night. Plus I have been getting headaches every now and then and am constipated at times. I think I was better off not taking it."


"Sprintec sucks!!! The reason I got on the pill was so I can have sex and not get pregnant!! Well, it works because I can't have sex because I won't stop bleeding!!! I first started taking the pill in October, all was well. When I started taking the placebos, I started my period and it lasted for two weeks. It finally ended. I decided the next time to skip the placebos so I wouldn't bleed for two weeks. Well, I started to bleed anyways, and I've now been bleeding for probably close to a month now. It hasn't really helped with acne or anything either. IDK whether to continue to take the pill and hope for the best or stop taking it and maybe my bleeding will stop??? Ugh!!!"


"Only complaint I have is that is falls off constantly. I always put on medical tape with it and it still falls off. Still working for me but its honestly irritating when it falls off all the time. I would have expected something that suppose to stick on not to peel off all the time. Would be better if it just stuck on the whole day!"


"I have been using Celexa for a little over a year now.  I was really going through some very stressful situations.  Over the years I have been on other medications and was taken off after about a year.  I had got to the point that I was having chest pains and could not stand to be around people.  I did not want to leave the house.  This medication has worked wonders for me.  I enjoy being around people now and I no longer have chest pains and I no longer shake like I am freezing.  I would recommend Celexa to anyone that needs it."


"I am taking Celexa now for about 2 weeks.  My heavy numbness in the morning is still there and not able to function until 2 or 3 in the afternoon.  I drink wine in the evening and thought I could stop. Not so.  I have to stop the wine and Advil in the evening and maybe I will see a difference.  "


"I have been on the depo shot since October 2014. After my first shot I bled for 2 months straight. I consulted with my doctor and she said it was normal. I got my second shot and I bled 6 weeks straight. Within the 2 shots I started noticing acne, headaches all the time, and lots of anxiety/fatigue/dizziness and I find myself being hungry all the time. I told myself that I would not get a 3rd shot. I have severe cramps and I have not bled since the 6 weeks after I got my 2nd shot so I was happy about not having a period. I decided to go ahead and get the 3rd shot. I have not had any bleeding but the acne and headaches, anxiousness, dizziness, and fatigue are all still happening. I don't like what the shot is doing to my body therefore I"


"I have been on Depakote for 15 years, I have epilepsy juvenile myoclonic. No side effects for me. I really like this medicine. It makes me feel safe all the time."


"I hope that my review can help someone who was in my shoes a month ago. I had randomly developed social anxiety. It came later on in life, and I couldn't even hold conversations with friends, family members, coworkers etc. I also felt generalized anxiety, as well as OCD. My mind was constantly going, and it deterred me from enjoying life and building relationships with others. I decided to go to therapy, and was suggested Zoloft . I was a skeptic at first, since there is such a stigma around anti-depressants and I heard so many negative reviews about Zoloft. However, I tried it and my doctor prescribed me 50mg. I fought all the side effects, but it got better! I would suggest sticking it out, because it has changed my life for the better!"


"I'm 25 and I've always had cold sores in my mouth since I was 4 and it can happen with sun or eating citrus. It's only getting worse now that I have braces so my Orthodontist told me about this pill and my doctor gave it to me and I love it EXCEPT I get a headache, fatigue, dizziness and joint pain...but it's totally worth it!"


"I just started taking this medication (2 days now) and already I can feel it's effect in terms of curbing my hunger. I no longer have cravings for "late night" snacks and can go through the day hardly thinking about food. I am 50lbs over weight, so I'm hoping I can report back telling you that I lost it all. Here's to hope!"


"I've suffered with anxiety at critical periods in my life and was advised by MD's to try antidepressants as an alternative to Ativan.  The side effects were intolerable.
BuSpar has been miraculous for me. The first week was an adjustment, with ups and downs in mood and some restlessness.  On the 7th day I awoke to even, stable
calm and increased concentration which has been consistent.  My advice is stay with it for a couple of weeks using a benzodiazapine as needed until you stabilize.
I had few side effects and those eventually disappeared."


"I had klyeena inserted about a 10 days ago. As long as your breathe when the doctor is inserting it, it doesn’t hurt too bad. I had some pretty terrible cramps for the next few hours that didn’t go away till noon the next day. I had very little bleeding. The doctor said I could have sex that night if I wanted, I didn’t but it was nice to know I could. Other than that it hasn’t been terrible, some mild cramps here and there but I feel great, no bad side effects yet, but I’m supposed to get my period soon so I guess that’s going to be the ultimate test."


"I had the implant placed after having my daughter.  While it was very effective in stopping pregnancy, I always ended up with numerous side effects.  I did not have a period the whole 2 1/2 years I had the implant and now a year after having it removed I've only had two periods.  I starting gaining weight very quickly and have still yet to be able to lose the weight.  I also had mood swings, extreme headaches, and stomach cramps.  This was my experience and I know not everyone has the same issues but I thought I would share my experiences."


"Not been on for long but mainly got it for PMDD symptoms - which are very similar to the mood swings effects of Nexplanon. I feel amazing. I was so scared to have it done but it didn't hurt to get it in - but the bruises were unsightly and meant I had to wear long sleeved tops for a week. Only side effects for me are occasional headaches, more spots (solved by daily facewash), dry throat, appetite, and similar to Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms but all solved by boosting blood sugar. Spotting isn't a problem as long as you remember to carry pantyliners. This is nothing compared to my past problems, very happy - but yet to see if it prevents pregnancy!"


"Been taking this medication for the past 2 weeks and I've expierenced nausea , dizziness, headaches and feeling depressed I'm currently seeking to change my b/c"


"This medication works great. EXCEPT the fact that it gives you horrible scary brain zaps if you are even a few hours late on your usual dose!!"


"I was on this medication for having my period non stop for 6 months. IT MADE ME BLEED MORE! I became anemic. I stopped after 1 month. It made me emotional and I gained about 10 pounds."


"hi im using aldana and now its my 4thd day using this i hope its work but i feel in side is swolling and reddish and a little bit itchy in my labia i have also i hope it works"


"I have had severe OCD since I was 14 years old.  I suffer from obsessions alone.   I also suffer from Bipolar I.  I was on Luvox or Fluvoxamine for 15 years and it took away most of my obsessions.  After 15 years it no longer worked and it took much convincing for my psychiatrist to allow me to start on Clomipramine.  I have been taking Clomipramine for 6 weeks.   I was surprised at how few side effects I have.  I can see well now,  I couldn't see well on Fluvoxamine.  Even with a new prescription I could not see a street sign.  I have no problems with Clomipramine.  More doctors should offer this drug"


"WORST LAXATIVE EVER!!! Horrible cramping and gas!! Took a very long time to work! I didn't take 3 tabs at once I took two. I wouldn't recommend going this route. It has made me miserable."


"I was given Diamox to prevent any increase in eye pressure after an ICL surgery (basically cataract surgery).  My pressures were great, but the side effects from this were no fun.  I experienced dizziness, tingling in my toes, and worst of all, my taste was off.  The worse taste difference I noticed was in caffeinated beverages and that's what caused my to do some looking around to see what was going on."


"For me it works pretty good but not perfect . It surely makes my Psoriasis better , but it will not really disappear totally . I'd say it takes away 75% of Everything , but when you stop with Otezla , it all comes back worse than ever .

But a combination of Dervovat and Otezla works great for me .

Here in sweden we pay a maximum of 220 USD/Year for drugs . Then it`s free :-) . Since Otezla costs 750 USD/ Month here , I'm thankful for that ."


"Doesn't do much for my anxiety or promote sleep (I take a dose at bedtime). Vistaril is basically prescription Benadryl."


"I would like to address women who already struggle with depression, insomnia, or mood disorders, like myself. If you're already bad off don't do this to yourself, it might be the final "push". I got the 3month shot (+add-back) and it made me suicidal. My moods went from extreme anger to sobbing, insomnia, HOT FLASHES, and my left arm kept going numb in daily activities! This went on for a month, at 2 months I leveled out. Not far into the 3'rd month the hot flashes came back, cold sweats (felt like drug withdrawal), and my pain was back! I went to my Ob/gyn 1 week early because of this to find I had grown 11 new painful cysts! It didn't even work, and to stop it is also unpleasant (withdrawals). Worst med decision I ever made! HELL!"


"I'm taking escitalopram known as "Cipralex" in the country I'm in temporarily, better known as "Lexapro" in the States, and I've found it surprisingly effective for my anxiety. I feel calm, relaxed, and content at almost all times. Also, I find myself comfortable in situations where my anxiety used to get the best of me. Lexapro is a true pharmaceutical innovation. I fully recommend this drug for anxiety/depression/apathy."


"I'm just about to start my 3rd month on lolo and so far it's been great!
The first 2 weeks was pretty rough as I experienced severe nausea every time I took the pill. To be fair this was also the first time I've taken a hormonal contraceptive in about 5 years. I experience about 3-4 days of very light spotting the week before my period is due and my periods are pretty much non-existent. Spotting for about 2 days. I started taking this birth control to relieve debilitating menstrual cramps, and since starting on this pill I haven't had ANY pain AT ALL. It has been life changing. My sex drive and skin have both improved, my breasts have grown about a cup size, and my weight hasn't changed."


"Ok, so bad fungal infection on one toe for years which then developed across four, badly! Have just finished three months of tablets today and apart from a mild dizziness for the first two days it's been fine, apart from a noticeable odour in any gas and stools which has been constant throughout the medication period. In terms of the nails, my two big toes were the worst. But I can see healthy growth at the bottom of the nail beginning to come through, so am really hopeful it has worked. Remember, for the medicine to work it has to be ever-present in your bloodstream so try not to miss taking it."


"Effective use on 3 separate cases of suspected flu - the last of which also had augmentin for secondaries."


"I had a rash caused by insect bites so Doctor gave me Protopic he said it would get rid of rash. I had tried everything : calamine lotion,  baking soda,  tea tree gel with vitamin E, lavender rosemary oil & with hazel,  well nothing got rid of rash also my skin cannot handle hydrocortisone  cream & I cannot take benadryl.   So I got the protopic & antibiotics.
Yes it cleared it away brilliantly, however  Doctor told me to use twice a day incorrect dosage. Did not warn me of evil side effects. My skin became mess soon as I stopped using remembering Doctor saying apply more if you had any problems,  it would clear skin then get worse and worse leathery skin painful blisters ozzing nasty redness bumpy skin - Red Skin Syndrome."


"I got Implanon in January 2009. It has its up's and downs since I got it. I started having light periods for 6 weeks then I didn't get a period anymore. The Implanon has moved from its original place so have to get it checked."


"I just took the first 100mg pill a few hours ago and I feel different. I feel almost normal. I'm not thinking about being depressed and my energy is almost back to normal. No antidepressant, antipsychotic or mood stabilizer has ever done that! If this feeling keeps up or gets better, I don't know what I'll do. I'll probably cry tears of joy. Is this what normal people feel like?"


"Worked great!!! Pooping like a champ. "


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"This pill is okay. The problems I had with it were constant constipation and nausea. I am not pregnant but trying to conceive. "


"I was on Paxil for PTSD, social anxiety, and depression. It worked wonderfully for me and all my issues. However, I ran out over the weekend and had to wait until Monday to see the doctor and get my prescription filled. The problem with Paxil is it leaves your body in 25 hours. So 25 hours after your last dose TERRIBLE withdrawals kick in. I felt so angry for absolutely no reason. I got ready in the morning and broke my hair dryer, straightener, and brush. While waiting in the doctors office I felt like I was going to scream, cry, or assault random people in the waiting room. So that is what Paxil withdrawal was like for me.
None of this is normal for me. When I'm in a low point I usually just feel sad and extremely anxious about being around people."


"I have taken Flexeril and other then putting me to sleep it never helped."


"It's the only injection that truly helps my son be able to function  as a rambunctious teenager without pain in all his joints. He's had up to 17 injections done at one time for his Poly-particular Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis with a short recovery time and pain relief for 3-4 months. I highly recommend asking about getting this injection instead of a short lived Cortisone injection."


"Only little side effect I had was occasional graphic dreams, which actually were, on the most hand, quite enjoyable. Been smoker for 30  years and honestly can't even believe how easy it was to quite smoking using Chantix. I am really amazed. I have been a non-smoker for about 11 months now and have ABSOLUTELY no desire to go back. Thanks a bunch."


"Works great just works slowly."


"My Crohn's disease diagnosis followed a routine colonoscopy at age 54. I had unexplained bouts with diarrhea but never thought much of it. Pentasa reduced the frequency from about every three weeks to about every six-eight weeks, and appears to have reduced the inflammation. No obvious side effects, seems to be helping."


"Ampyra has been great for me.  One of the biggest improvements is that I can stand up for longer periods of time.  Before, I got tired and had to sit within 5 or so minutes.  Now I can stand longer.  My legs don't feel quite so heavy and my foot drop is better.  A couple of times, by accident, I have missed taking my medicine and the change was very evident.  When I got back on schedule, again I was much better.  I am so glad to have this medication!"


"I have used other birth control in the past that has regulated my periods like clockwork after one month of use.  I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and was told this was one of the only pills that did not have a side effect of higher BP.  I gave it 4 consistent months and after I have experienced epic bleeding, to the point it was like having 2 periods back to back, I decided it wasn't for me."


"I had the mirena coil fitted 4 years ago. My periods became heavier for the first six months. Haven't had a period now for 2 years brilliant - the down side is weight gain, 3 stone. I'm due to have it removed I want to have another one put in but the weight gain is a big issue."


"I have had asthma for 45 years. I started on this medication when I was very young. It's always worked very well for me. I have had physicians try to change it to something else but I always end up requesting they change me back to Ventolin. It just works."


"It took away my acne in a few days. but it made me nauseous when I took it on an empty stomach. My insurance covered it partially. But I didn't want to take it too long and become resistant to antibiotics."


"Even though there are many food restrictions, food I dearly love and miss, Parnate has given me my life back. I have been suffering from anxiety and depression all my life and this is the first drug that has actually helped. Thank you for giving me life again."


"I have been on Yaz for four years. It is the only birth control I have ever been on because my doctor recommended it the first time I saw him, and I have never had any problem with it."


"I have 2 herniated discs with sciatica and without the Lortab 7.5mg I am in so much pain I have to stay in bed and suffer. With this medication I can function very well and enjoy a almost normal daily routine. I own horses and have always been very physical. Without this medicine I can't do anything that I normally do."


"Well I been on this medication since I was 9 to about 13 years on age and I was wondering was that a to long amount of years on medication I'm 19 now"


"I've been on Gilenya (Fingolimod) for 3 years through the clinical trial.  I could not tolerate the other medicines and have seen so much improvement with Gilenya.  If it came only in shot form I would still take it.  Being a pill is a plus, but the effectiveness and minimal side effects is what I've been impressed with.  "


"Took this medicine along with Uroxatral for slow stream and urinary frequency, both secondary to radiation cystitis caused by brachytherapy.  Vesicare caused slight mouth dryness at 5mg, severe mouth dryness and bad taste at 10mg.  "


"I have been taking Mirapex for a couple of weeks now. It doesn't seem to be helping that much just yet. I was diagnosed with restless legs syndrome about 6 years ago, which was a problem at night time. In October, I suddenly started having severe symptoms during the day, so I went to my doctor and she put me on Mirapex 0.125mg a day. I have noticed that I will suddenly feel very sleepy at times, while I've just been completely alert, which I see might be from the medication. Hopefully, with time it will relieve my symptoms for good!"


"Reasons for the 9/10:

1) Cramping/spotting for 4-6 mos. My 1st time on Mirena, no period for 4yrs! 6yrs later, &6 days into 2nd Mirena I've got typical cramps/3.5d menstruation.

2) It could fall out/re-position itself in the cervix, (down from uterus). 5mos after a copper/hormone-free IUD, I found out that this had happened to me and I switched back to Mirena.

Many people have had adverse effects from this med. incl. depression, anxiety, mood swings, constant spotting, painful cramps+.

Having 5 years of experience on this med., then switching to a copper IUD for 5mos, I can say that Mirena has HELPED my depression/anxiety.  Every body is different. Plus I'm not going to get pregnant! So, all in all, I'd recommend this to anyone."


"I am taking 2mg three times a day for anxiety. The anxiety is much better now and I can go places without having panic attacks. I feel the best I have felt in a long time."


"Honestly, if you want to experience PAIN then this is right for you. Yeah it prevents pregnancy and what not but the amount of pain you experience in your uterus is totally not worth it! I am 20 years old and I've never experienced this amount/type of pain. Its extremely harsh and it feels like needles piercing through you! I gained 4 pounds the first week and I'm VEGAN! My breasts got bigger too and I'm not complaining but the pain just isn't for me."


"After trying the pill and realizing that it wasn't for me, I decided to give Mirena a try. My experience with this method of birth control has been nearly perfect.

Here are my pros:
-I no longer have a period. As someone who used to suffer from crippling cramps and extremely heavy flow, this is a blessing.
-I haven't had any symptoms that I experienced with the pill (weight gain, acne, mood swings, hair loss)
-Childless and proud

Cons:
-The day of the insertion, I was slightly crampy afterwards. However, I recovered quickly.

Overall, this is the best form of birth control. 10/10 - would highly recommend."


"Its very good medicine with some small manageable side effects.."


"Lodrane often works quickly and effectively in cases where other newer drugs seem not to help"


"I feel the need to write a review of this medication as I am currently experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms from missing one dose. There was a mix up with a new insurance company and I unfortunately had to miss yesterdays dose. I have never felt this way after missing one dose of a medication and I have taken several different antidepressants over the last 10 years. I have the sweats, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and I have been crying uncontrollably all day. I did have benefits from taking this medication for the past three years but I worry about continuing to take it any longer."


"Gave me my life back. The first thing I take in the morning and the last thing I take in the evening."


"I'd give 10 stars, but after 5 yrs on this med I feel as I'm becoming dependent and immune at the same time. I take 400mg/daily and if I miss a dose by1 hr I get a horrible headache. Meanwhile for the past yr I feel as if I need to bump up the doses.  My psychiatrist said that 400mg is a very high dose and she's not comfortable exceeding. I take the dissolving tablets, which I found is a slow release and I'm able to get thru my day more easily.  Also, because this is a brand name, is very hard to find it in stock!

I definitely would recommend this drug, after trying numerous, this was the one that controlled my mood swings without side effects."


"Beware, this medicine causes agitation in a lot of people. The feeling is indescribable, though some have told me it  like withdrawals.  Awful stuff.  Felt like my skin was crawling.  Just awful."


"I have been using the patch for about a week now and it has been very effective. I do have to use sports tape to keep the patch in place but other than that it works. I suffer from fibromyalgia and it relieves my pain."


"I been taking different types of strong pain medicines for years, due to a bad neck injury. In October, my doctor put me on this, I had no side effects, and feel like myself again. Since 1997, I also was taking antidepressants and muscle relaxers. I am off all that now. I take one 80mg a day, which I am going to start dropping dosage, as the weather warms to see how I feel."


"So far am on 125mg x 2 a day and have found topiramate to be rather effective. Experience a little grogginess, tingling in fingers and toes, and have lost just over 2 stone from 12 st 6 to 10 st 3lb ish. Can up my dose one more time to 150mg x 2 per day if start having recurring migraines again and then going to have to look for alternative treatment..at the moment suffering from around 4-5 migraines per month from 3-4 per week."


"I've been taking this medicine for almost two years (took hyoscyamine for several years before that) and it really makes a big difference with my irritable bowel syndrome. I really only need to take two pills each morning and that gets me through my day.  If my family eats out at a restaurant, I take two pills before leaving home.  I do experience a bit of dry mouth and my eyes also get dried out (not the best side effect, but not the worst, either!).  Overall, I highly recommend this medicine for those who suffer from IBS."


"Latuda is the first antipsychotic I've taken, and I have to say it works. Yeah nausea sets in if you don't eat with it but it's been pretty fine. Started with 20 MG for the past 6 months, and auditory hallucinations diminished at least 90%. Anxiety about 60% which is why I'm looking to up my dosage to 40mg along with upping my zoloft dosage to 100mg.But with any medicine there are side effects and diarrhea is an issue with this medication. So, with my uptake in dosage hopefully I'll be all the way me again."


"I got this put in at the beginning of Decemeber and I have been bleeding since I've 2 days after I had it put in. Its very heavy with very heavy clotting and serious cramps. I would not recommend this BC to anyone."


"Very discouraged after taking 10 days of Sulfa and 2 weeks of Doxycycline that my family doctor prescribed.  Symptoms got better but never went away. Went to a Urologist and he said his first choice is definitely Cipro. Also said that Doxy is a "static" drug and WILL NOT kill the bacteria, it will only stop replication.  Cipro kills it. I've also searched the web up and down for answers and almost all say it takes 4-6 weeks of taking a Cipro related drug.  Finishing up week 6 of Cipro and all my symptoms are GONE and feel normal again!  Going to take another week to be on the safe side. Give this time to work...it's not an overnight fix.  Frustrating, but true.  Also, no side effects either."


"Medicine works for me for about 4 hours. I was experiencing terrible rebound redness after that, however (which gets much worse when using Mirvaso multiple days in a row). What I've found, similar to others on this list, is that by using a very small amount (about half of what's recommended) and applying it along with sunscreen or moisturizer, I'll get most of the benefit without the rebound.

The other thing that I do is frankly use it infrequently and try not to use it for more than 2 days in a row. So while I'm not getting a constant benefit, it helps when I need it to for public events."


"After about a month and a half, with both psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis, I don't think Otezla has helped either condition for me.  Side effects have been minimal;  very mild diarrhea and some limited loose stools.  Joints seem the same to slightly worse, patches seem the same.  After the fight I had to put up for insurance approval,.....the results are a huge disappointment thus far.  Will continue to four months. This is my very first, non-topical, med."


"I had botox March 21st 2016..When i havent got a UTI it works a treat,since having it done i have had a UTI just about every other week..Its sad because it does make a massive difference...Awaiting water test results just getting over another UTI as i write..I have become immune to certain antibiotics ..Not sure if im gonna have it again"


"I had arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery Feb 25th 2013 and my surgeon prescribe me 10mg Vicodin 6 times per day.  After 4 weeks and "wanting to get me off of narcotics" he changed my prescription to 50mg Tramadol 4 times day.  Honestly I believe that I am now receiving 1/10 the relief from pain that the Vicodin were providing. "


"I have suffered with migraines for 20 years & without Zomig I would have missed out on many things in life.
There are side effects such as spaced out feeling, dry mouth, increased urine which only last few hours after taking medication.
But would rather have minor side effects & live my life without always being in pain."

"I'm prescribed methadone and it makes me very constipated. Miralax is the only medicine that works for me. I have tried everything. MiraLax is the best!!"


"I chose this as my first form of birth control when I was 16, I'm now 20. While it was effective and efficient for me, my hormones were through the roof. I was very emotional and cried a lot. I would recommend this for someone who does okay on high dose birth control. I cried/begged for my doc to switch me to a low dose birth control and ended up on the pill. I'm terrible at taking it but still no baby thankfully."


"Only medicine that relieved my very burning, painful eyes."


"I'm still waiting to see if it's Celiac disease or inflammatory IBS-D. After 3 weeks of constant diarrhea, dehydration and trip to ER tons of blood work all negative & stool sampes all negative and 16lb weight loss I got in with a GI doctor.  I'm waiting back for my inflammatory test & celiac disease test but in the mean time my GI doctor put me on bentyl 20mg up to 4 a times day to help with the diarrhea  which is the cause of the weightloss in only 3 weeks. It's worked wonders so far haven't had any diarrhea. I've only been on it 48hrs now. The only side effect I have noticed sometimes it makes my heart race a little for an hour. I have a follow-up with my GI in 3 weeks & hoping to come off of it and be back to eating normal, he thinks I had a viral that caused inflammatory IBS-D"


"I have degenerated discs and my knees are degenerating. This med allowed me to work and have a normal life"


"I turned into a total zombie on this.  Literally could not get out of bed!  Doctors throw this at you when you first get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. "


"This pill worked great for the first nine months. But now I feel tired and emotional during the week I'm supposed to be bleeding. I never get my period anymore which is fine. The reason this pill works so well is because you never want to have sex. I'm sure its almost 100 percent effective."


"I do not recommend this type of birth control unless you want to have 4 week periods and counting. Everybodys body is different but the side effects suck.I had mine inserted November 2015 three days after giving birth. I bled for 8 weeks after delivery then it stopped for the 26 days and now I've been bleeding since January 26th and it is February 18th now with no signs of it stopping soon it is very heavy and I made an appointment for the 22nd and I'm getting it removed. They are right about not getting pregnant on it because your bleeding damn near the whole time and your sex drive is out of whack along with mood swings from not getting any lol"


"I was once on the ORTHO EVRA patch which was a dream option for me.
This med they call Xulane gives me a HORRIBLE, I mean H O R R I B L E rash, presumably from the adhesive. When you scratch from the uncontrollable itch, you risk micro lacerations that this glue enters your skin and then suddenly the rash turns into a full-blown allergic reaction that is unbearably burning, itching, and even aching. Yes, ACHING. Return the ORTHO EVRA PATCH ASAP!"


"I've had it since January of this year. I love it. I've only spotted once. The only thing I don't like is that I gained 10lbs. Other than that, it's convenient for my busy life."


"Weight gain, lethargic 300 dosage at bed time, any more you'll have heads turning in public. Reclusion is a major problem do to zombie affects, messed up part is my roommates had to tell me cuz I didn't even notice. I have not been able to get a job. I tried college and it didn't work. My short term memory is short, can't even remember what I ate for dinner three days ago. I do sleep though. All you can do is push on and forget gl"


"My internist has been trying me on various diabetes medications, alone and in combination, over the past 12 plus years to lower my blood sugar levels. For a long time the situation was ultimately with a combination of Januvia 100mg, Glimipiride twice per day, and Metformin 2 500mg tablets twice per day.  Initially the combination gave me diarrhea but I also discovered I was lactose intolerant and eventually the problem went away. But gradually within the past few years my 1AC levels slowly started climbing, at one point to 7.8. About 6 months ago he added Trulicity.5 mg ramped up to 1.5mg. Did not improve blood sugar. Did lower weight.Stopped Trulicity. Just started Invokana. Scared of the risks. Am dehydrated and have yeast infection."


"Excellent drug for motion sickness. However, if you take it for a long period of time and then stop taking it, you will be nauseous for at least a week. "


"The medicine caused me to have Burning Mouth Syndrome. "


"I work 7 days a week, 10-14 hours a day doing hard labor. my friend gave me a 100mg pill from citra (I think) one day and within 15 minutes all the pain was gone and I felt like my mood was increased x10. I worked harder than I usually do without one and had a very fast pace. I take one in the morning when I know it's gonna be a rough day and it helps me out through the whole day, if I notice I really need another one (which is rarely) I'll take half and feel better. I stop for a week or two to not build a big tolerance and haven't felt any negative side affects or having the need to want to just go pop some. The only noticeable side affect which didn't mind much was that my breathing was slightly off, not too much; most pills cause it."


"I took prazosin the first night and wow, what a difference. I haven't woke up so clear headed in years. Great sleep, no nightmares. Prazosin works wonderfully."


"Just used Viagra 50mg tablet for the first time. I'm 43 and during sex my erection can soften. Results were amazing, hard erection all night and in the morning, wife and I very happy, had slight flu like symptoms later on. No headache and nothing serious. Would recommend and advise to buy branded tablets. I took Pfizer."


"I was very nervous about trying Implanon after reading all the negative reviews, but went ahead with it anyway.  The procedure was quick and practically painless.  The spot was tender for a few days and I did have an ugly bruise and now a tiny scar, but nothing that is too terrible.
I started Implanon while I was on my period, which lasted for about 21/2 weeks, give or take.  But the bleeding was minimal and it wasn't too bad.  Then after that period ended, nothing.  I haven't had a period since I had the device inserted in December of 09.  I haven't noticed any weight gain or unusual moodiness. This has been the best birth control I've ever been on.  My advice, give it a chance.  Don't let the negative reviews scare you away!"


"I'm just coming to the end of my fourth month on this medicine and it's worked a dream!! Before having this I cried every morning not wanting to go to school and every night before I went to sleep, I tried every single facial wash and tablet there was (prescribed and over the counter)
Since being on the medicine my life has turned around I'm not afraid to take photos with family and friends and I only use light make up I'm not afraid to go out!
I did have some side effects such as, sickness, depression, nose bleeds, joint pain, dry skin & chapped lips however the doctor dropped the dosage and now I'm back to my normal self!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"


"I am a long time sufferer from depression and anxiety and adhd and ptsd....well you name it I have been diagnosed it. I recently...like right now tried to get off celexa....head hurts so bad i cannot stand up. Been awful. Its been 3 days and i am throwing in the towel and going to go pick it up at pharmacy. Yes it works on depression and a tad for anger but I still do have episodes of anger and depression which at times I wonder are worse than before. The thing is i guess you never do know unless someone monitors you before and after. Honestly i think excercise and healthy eating would have worked just as well. I can definitley say it makes you more tired. I can say this..DONT TAKE THIS MEDICATION UNLESS YOUR SERIOUSLY IN NEED."


"I was trying to find other pain relievers other than hydrocodone. I tried this for my lower back pain. It was like I hadn't taken anything."


"I tried for 2 yrs after a major life change to get my life back.    All the snri's and ssri's gave me the worst side effects and I became more depressed dizzy migraines and suicidal.    This wasnt me and every doctor wrote me off as being a bad patient.     I was ready to throw in the towel and tried a low dose of wellbutrin and OMG.   2 months later I was completely myself and 6 mos later im medication free.    Dont give up keep trying.   I thought my life was over and was a difficult patient.   Dont let message boards or doctors rule your life.   If something isnt working dont stay on it!"


"My face and chest turned red like a sun burn"


"I've found that for my sleep problems after trying many and all sleep aids this has had the least amount of side effects and I wake up felling great, not sluggish or with a hangover sensation. 10mg dose has worked wonders with my racing thoughts keeping me awake and to provide a relaxed feeling for a great night's sleep."


"I have been suffering moderate acne all my life that has left me with some scars. I tried over the counter products such as benzac, epi duo, yet nothing worked so I went to see my doctor and they prescribed me doxycycline (50mg) and within the first 3 days of using the medicine combined with epi duo cream about 50% of my face has already cleared up."


"I have been on Cymbalta for almost 5 years after a very difficult 4 years of PND/PSTD. Other medications got me to a point of about 50 percent improvement. This was far from ideal/adequate. Cymbalta worked for me like no other antidepressant. My anxiety reduced to the point where I can function at a pretty high level. I still have bouts of anxiety and occasional dark moods but they pass and even now are fewer and further between. I have tried to come off of it a few times but at 30mg the cogs begin to turn faster and I can feel my anxiety levels significantly increasing. I am concerned that my emotions are a bit blunted and like someone else said, I cannot cry, which I miss. I used to like a good, therapeutic cry. I also have no sex drive."


"Over half of my life has been spent in chronic pain. I had 2disks fused and a pinched nerve fixed 20yrs ago. I've had a pain pump and been put on everything you can imagine. I can promise you guys something,nothing is good as methadone to help pain,imo. I've been on it for 16yrs now.it is hard to get used to tho.you will get very drowsy in the beginning. I can tell you it's hard to perform a number 2 in the bathroom also. I would recommend stool softeners if you take methadone for that. I got caught in btwn dr.s once and the withdrawal is hellish.no joking on that. Ive seen heroin addicts say it was worse. I thank God and my dr. I get to take my lyrica and methadone for my pain."


"I've had really bad migraines since I was 30 (now 53).  I tried everything!  Last medication I was on was Fioricet.  It worked most times but not all the time.  I also had to lay down when I took it.  I have missed so many great events over the years due to migraines.  I heard about Maxalt and asked my doctor to prescribe it.  My quality of life is amazing.  My migraine is gone within 30 minutes every time.  I don't have to lay down with it either."


"So far I am very pleased with my results from taking Bydureon for some 4 months.  I have lost 8 kgs and my Hba1C has gone from 8.9 to 7.   I have lumps but they do gradually go after a period of time, have had some bruising also.   My main concern is the nausea which I still experience spasmodically and absolute lack of appetite.  Certain foods I only have to look at and it is a real turn off.   But I will put up with all the above as I have finally lost some weight by eating minute amounts 6 times a day and my Blood Sugars are the lowest they have been for approximately 3 years and it is so rewarding to hear friends say "you have lost weight, you look great""


"I took one day of medicine. Next day had a full blown sinus/ upper respiratory irritation. Headache, fever, the whole nine yards. 5 days later I am still fighting the effects of a cold/infection. I have been taking Arava for 18 months and have not had one infection. Only reason I tried this is because the Gastrointestinal problems with Arava are bothersome. There are new biologics heading to the market that based on the first 2 phases are safer and more effective than all these that are currently on the market. I will wait for the new ones."


"Been on this medicine for 2 weeks now and definitely starting to feel less anxious and I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill anymore!! Also not as afraid in social situations and ocd that someone will break in my house and kidnap me and my kids is gone and I can actually sleep at night now. I hope this continues because living in constant fear is no way to live!"


"I've been a functioning alcoholic for 15 years and started this drug a few weeks ago. So far, combined with venlafaxine 75 and mirtazapine 30, I feel quite good and hopeful for the future. Alcohol craving is virtually zero currently. I would love, if anyone comes back to this thread after a previous review, to follow up on how they are now, vs how they were when they first started taking it. For me personally, it seems to be working, but I am very curious about the so called placebo effect. Any thoughts?"


"While this stuff works to kill the infection, it is hard to keep down. I throw up every few hours on this drug. I feel queasy right now and I took cipro almost 8 hours ago."


"So far I've had my period about tow weeks straight and had unbearable mood swings and have felt very depressed. I'm hoping things get better..."


"This drug is terrible. I was actually prescribed Junel (which I have taken previously with no problems), but my pharmacy doesn't carry that brand anymore, so they gave me Gildess instead.  It's the same thing, right? WRONG.

I've been on Gildess for 2.5 weeks now and I have never felt so consistently terrible in my entire life.  I take the pill at night on a full stomach.  I wake up in the morning with moderate nausea that lasts until well after lunchtime.  I have headaches and abdominal cramping and gas ... oh the gas.  By mid-afternoon my stomach is so full of air I look pregnant.  I'm anxious, irritable, and on-edge all the time.

It's literally the worst."


"I've been on Cymbalta for fibro pain for about two months.  For me, it's working well.  I have no side-effects, and it's made me feel like I've only been hit by a compact car instead of a mack truck!  lol!"


"I'm currently taking Prozac (Fluoxetine) for severe generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety and panic attacks.  I only take 20mg a day and even though the first month left me with horrendous nausea and weight loss it subsided after about 25 days and now I find that my appetite as a whole has decreased slightly but the nausea has now subsided.

My anxiety has improved so much to the point that I'm actually leaving the house for activities other than work and I'm having conversations with people I'd usually ignore because I'd feel so self conscious. I've actually had people (that don't know I suffer from anxiety or that I'm taking Prozac (fluoxetine)) comment on how well I look recently and how happy I appear within myself."


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"I have taken this medicine along with Toprol-XL for a few years and it has helped A LOT! I think this medicine paired with Toprol-XL is great!"


"The only thing that has helped my pain."


"I have never posted a review for any product, but seeing reviews for this birth control was such an eye opener that I had to! I am 22 and I have been on lolo for about a year. My entire life I maybe got 5 tiny pimples. The first few months of being on this pill I didn't notice any changes. However, each month after that my acne kept getting worse and worse. I did not realize it was from this pill until I started reading reviews and looking and pictures and matching to the time I started this birth control. My acne has gotten so bad that there are times I will not even leave the house.  The day I saw these reviews I threw all of my pills in the garbage. It has been a month and I am still fighting the acne. STAY AWAY!"


"Insertion was actually more painful than I expected. My doctor prescribed a pill for me to insert 12 hours prior to my appointment, which was supposed to "numb" the area in a way. Still, I had a lot of pain when my cervix was first clamped down on. A quick shot took this away in no time and shortly after, it was all done! I could even drive myself home with no issues. Such an easy process. I didn't have a bad recovery period for the next few days. The cramping wasn't bad. Then, I didn't have a period for the next two months. The main difference I'm noticing is that I get cramps all month long now. And, during my actual period, the cramps are far more severe than they ever were before. Regardless, I think this is far preferable than pills!"


"Hi , I'm still waiting for this drug to really kick in, had infusions September 2015, not yet as well as I was on Embrel, but had to change due to new rheumo team. Not impressed really- lots of infections, got to the point of wheelchair use in December, previous to Sept never required a stick, Very slowly starting to regain life- possibly am near 40% of the real me. I'm not at work, not driving, am worried for my job, It's been 19 weeks since the treatment and I want my life back."


"I'm a 39 year old white male, 6'2 201 pounds, diagnosed with chronic Hep C For 6 years at least. I started zepatier four weeks ago, just got my first blood work done yesterday and got the results today... the virus is already undetectable! No side effects at all... I have 8 more weeks to go of the medication, one tablet every morning... good luck with your treatment. If you haven't got into some form of treatment, I highly suggest it. You'll be glad you did. If you are an addict, I suggest stopping in order to get treated.. even if you smoke weed, I suggest stopping.. I had a friend who was turned down for the treatment because he had weed in his system! They will not treat you if you have anything in your system. life is too precious!"


"It's helped my blood pressure greatly (at times I went to the ER with it above 180) and I am under 35 years.

The only problem is that it caused a lot of mid-section weight gain. The doctor said this was normal. But, with a history of an eating disorder, the rapid gain in this section can be emotionally trying (I now eat a healthy diet and exercise yet the weight still came on). I am also very fatigued throughout the day. Doctor says sometimes that may lesson with taking them (on them for 6 months). But, with a child and work and all else this kind of fatigue is hard to deal with.
GREAT for it's purpose, but side effects could be to much for some."


"I have MS and was having terrible spasms at night. Since taking this medicine I feel much better."


"I am 37 years old and was finally diagnosed with Adult ADHD almost 2 years ago so I was put on 20 mg Adderal XR and it worked great. But I did start to notice that I would get pretty irritable on it mostly when it was wearing off. So I wanted to try a different medication to see if there was one I wasn't so grumpy on. So I started Metadate CD and I was not irritable on that one at all :) But it seemed to wear off within 4 hours and made me soo tired. So now I am on Aptensio and it has been pretty good so far I have only been on it for about a week and it really does last a long time and I am able to stay focused. I don't feel a crash like Adderal. I would just recommend taking it early in the morning so it can wear off before you go to bed."


"It seemed to help me get over my bronchitis within a week, with other drugs of course."


"I've had sleep issues my whole life and had just sort of dealt with it.  I finally spoke with a Dr. about it and was prescribed Lunesta.  Over a couple of weeks, taking it ~3 nights a week, I was sleeping better for the most part. Then, my emotions started going haywire.  I was quick to anger and feeling paranoid.  I was convinced my wife was having an affair (she wasn't) and had multiple outbursts.  I have never been on any sort of medication for a period of time, so I didn't think to blame the Lunesta.  I stopped taking it and the crazy emotions have stopped."


"I am on my first month of taking this birth control. As many others, I was taking Ortho tri cyclen for 5+ years and stopped when I wanted to see if it was affecting me mentally (anxiety, mood swings etc.) and now my insurance doesn't accept it so this was the next best thing. I was nauseous the first 2 weeks and a couple days it was absolutely miserable! My breasts have grown and my boobs hurt constantly! I was getting bad acne before taking the bc and now my face has definitely cleared. I will stick out the nausea and breast pain and continue on month two, but if it continues, it is not the right birth control for me!"


"I had been addicted to opiates for almost 3 years until I went into a detox center where they put me on Suboxone for 7 days. Of course when I was on it I felt great; but it has been over a week since I've stopped and I still feel terrible. There were actually 3 people in the facility that were trying to get off Suboxone, because they had been on it for so long. I know you people all feel its a miracle drug, but eventually you will have to stop taking it and hopefully weening off of it goes smoother for you. I've heard you don't want to take it for that long because its hard to come off. I do wish everyone the best of luck."


"I had the mirena for 3 1/2 years.. 1 year in I began having pains in my left hip. I couldn't locate exactly where the pain was as it was internal and moved. I began to get aches and pain and gain weight although I was still doing my usual routine. I thought the aches and pains where due to weight gain. Then I researched a bit.. My goodness I had all the symptoms I was reading about and had spent $1000's of dollars at physiotherapist, podiatrists, nutritionists had numerous X-Ray's and ultrasounds I had even tried reiki acupuncture and lots of alternative therapies. The moment it was removed the pain disapated in my hip and by the end of day 1 after removal 40% of the pain in my whole body was gone. Day 2 I could bend my knee to put socks on"


"I was on implanon for 3 years and then got Nexplanon inserted 2.5 years ago (they are really the same thing just a different brand)

When I first had implanon, I gained 50 lbs in two months having not changed my eating habits at all, started working out like a maniac and couldn't get rid of any weight. The first three months I was incredibly emotional and depressed, that seemed to mellow down. I developed panic attacks which resolved (mostly) after 6 months. I did not have my period once (yay)
Got my implanon switched out for nexplanon as implanon was expiring. Gained another 50 lbs in 2 months that won't budge. Emotions all over the place but I was more prepared for it.
Getting it removed early to give my body a break and to lose weight."


"I have no real side effects the only one I can think of is weight gain. I gained about 6 lbs but not even in the beginning it was about 3 months in. I can't seem to lose those 6lbs but oh well."


"I am a recovering heroin addict, sober now for 4 months, and had I been prepared or well informed on this whole situation I may have waited. Anyways, I am 23, never had kids, 1 abortion...and a failed pregnancy.
Anyways. This was all my mom's idea, never really used bc pills because hormones made me nuts, the pain of the insertion was unbearable for me, and the ride home I felt I was going to vomit.
The pain is uncomfortable, I have not experienced menstrual cramps since maybe 5th grade. Not only that, my periods were always ridiculously irregular and for a good year I never even had a period. I am sweaty, cramping, and dizzy. I am hoping this will all be over soon, ibuprofen and Tylenol I don't believe ever works. Just got today."


"I felt my body go through a shock and I felt a few side effects which I freaked but it disappear immediately.   My advice drink at least 16 ounces of water with your pills and make sure you eat something ...the color of stool changed to a dark metallic color - but I feel better. The medicine is working."


"Rozerem has been a life saver. I have had many sleepless nights before this medicine and now I can function and go back to work, it has been great."


"I started with this medicine at age 11, I took it for 6 years on and off always having to up the dosage. The side effects I experienced were dizziness, drowsiness, and lack of energy. It would mellow my ticks (eyes, body, and low vocal noises) down to a tolerable level, but if I continuously took it day to day for months it would seem to stop working as well. Now I don't take anything (21 now) but natural high magnesium doses a few times a week and  it mellows me out just as well. Doesn't stop my tics completely but doesn't bother me. I don't recommend for people attending school or working in a quiet environment."


"I use Zarah for my acne cause I have bad acne I started 2 months ago and it cleared my acne up it's just that now I have a few breakouts now and then and some scars from before. I think this product is really helpful for acne, it works on some people like me and people are not the same so it might or might not work for you."


"I was given this for UTI and Sinusitis at the same time!  After 2 doses I felt a little relief but woke up in the middle of the night itching on the palms of my hands, bottoms of my feet and knees and elbows!  My hands were also swelling after the 4 th dose so I quit taking it.  Still had the infection and pain after 4 doses!"


"I'm 22 and got Skyla inserted in March 2015. Upon insertion I experienced cramps, my hands tingled, and I felt like I was going to vomit. But that all lasted for about 15 seconds. When I got home I felt extremely sick; I was nauseous, cramping bad, and had moderate bleeding. The bleeding and spotting lasted for about 2 weeks then stopped. I have not had any periods just spotting here and there. I did have a bacteria infection got prescribed some meds and it went away. I've now been experiencing severe cramps and bleeding after intercourse. Appointment for an ultrasound to make sure it is in the right place so we will see. I haven't had a pregnancy scare so I guess it is doing its job."


"I've been taking 100 milligrams of propranolol for 1 year now and it has reduced the number of migraines significantly.  I still take Imitrex when I do get a migraine but not as often. Propranolol does however cause impotence. I have seen the number of comments regarding weight gain but I actually started taking Cymbalta at the same time and lost 30 pounds so I have no comment on that issue."


"My tremors in my right hand were getting so bad I could hardly write my name. Stress would make the tremors even worse. Within 1 day of starting 80mg Propranolol the tremors had disappeared. It has been a huge benefit to my quality of life. I have been taking it daily for 6 months now and the tremors are now very minor in the worst case such as extreme stress."


"I was given this medicine at 750 mg 4 times a day for spasms associated with spinal stenosis (narrowing of spinal cord causing major nerve pain and muscle spasms). These worked great along with Ultram! After lumber decompressive back surgery I came home from the hospital 48 hours after surgery taking only Robaxin and Ultram for the pain and could keep my pain level consistently under a 4! I had sleepy side effects for the first 2 days but was mild. I have colitis and gastritis and this medicine did not upset my stomach or cause any other side effects for me."


"Elmiron - been on it for 9 months, 3 100 mg capsules a day.  It has helped with IC.  However, it has caused headaches.  It also seems to interact with my SNRI, and both have caused an increase in ringing in my ears.  Has anyone else had that?"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"As an anxious first-timer who scoured the web for answers to my many concerns, I found this thread most helpful. So, here are my two-cents.

Suprep is very effective. Got a "gold star" from my GI for "cleanliness".

With cold water, a straw and a green apple Jolly Rancher chaser between sips, the taste was not as bad as I thought it would be. (It's definitely not good!) First dose (6 pm) went down in 4-5 sips. Second dose (2:30 am) took more time and patience, like 25 much smaller sips to avoid gagging. (Not sure why the difference.)

Followed instructions to the letter. Only got an hour or so of sleep overnight, so I rather enjoyed my "nap" during the procedure. Very relieved to know all is well, and all my worry was for nothing.

Hope this helps."


"Ketoprofen 75 mg is the only medicine I could find that would stop the swelling and pain in my hands, elbows and back. I have taken this medicine now for two years. Now I only take it when I get a flair up, only about once every couple weeks. I can now play golf and do things like I did in my younger days. At 62 I recommend you try it. I think you might like it, I have no side effects from it."


"My Hemorroids are gone! Thank you!"


"Just came from the doctor after "weening myself" to 75 mg of Effexor. Bad move, doctor put me back to 150mg. Doctor put me on Buspar with my Effexor. FANTASTIC. Haven't felt this good in years, but I felt so good I thought I could get off the Effexor. Lesson here, if you feel better, don't stop taking your medicines, it's working. Ask your doctor about taking Buspar with the Effexor. I have never felt better. No more racing thoughts, etc. Now, just waiting for Effexor to work it's way back into my system. As for coupling it with the Buspar - RIGHT ON THE MONEY."

"I use Nasonex because my allergies trigger migraines. I spray the Nasonex when I feel a migraine coming on because of the sinus pressure and it works within 10 minutes. A real life saver!"


"54 yr, peri-menopause experiencing bleeding for 6 weeks.  Was given 10 days 10mg provera.  Never stopped bleeding, now it's Day 10.  Now bloated, gained weight, ovaries have twinges of pain, menstrual cramps.."


"I had my Mirena inserted 10 weeks postpartum and it has been wonderful! I felt mild cramping during insertion but I haven't felt a thing since. I took an Ibuprofen before hand just in case it was going to be bothersome. My husband says he can not feel the string. I have not had a period (it has been 4 months), but I am also still breastfeeding. I love not having to remember to take the pill. I highly recommend. There were no crazy side effects here."


"Only drug that will bring down my blood pressure.  I am on additional medication & none work as well as this one.  Have tried the similar drugs & had many side effects and would have to switch back each time."


"I have had allergies for months. The drainage caused me to develop a severe case of bronchitis which triggered my asthma to be worse than ever before. Nothing was working for my cough which was keeping me awake night after night. Sleeping sitting up on the couch for 30 min at a time... Doc at ER gave me 2 Tessalon. Cough stopped almost immediately. First night of sleep I have had in weeks. Thank heavens she wrote me a prescription. Now I am looking forward to my second night cough free. Thank God for small miracles."


"My daughter started taking this several months ago.  Her mood swings and depression are horrendous.  The ones around her see her emotional deterioration since starting this birth control pill.  We are hoping she listens to those close to her and stops taking it."


"Worked great for two weeks took samples but too expensive."


"I actually love this brand. I used to have regular breakouts around my period, heavy periods with bad cramping, and was really prone to ovarian cysts...blisovi completely cleared up my acne, my cramps are pretty much non exsistent, and haven't had ANY pain/ recent cysts. I do feel a little shaky and on edge sometimes, but nothing too serious. I've also maintained the same weight I started them on.
To each their own."


"I started taking this in March 2014 until the end of 2015. I lost over 40 pounds but I was more so impressed with the inches I lost. I just had a baby in November 2016 and I started taking it again for a month now. I have lost about 5 pounds but ready to move on to something else."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I began having vascular migraines in the  70s and nothing worked until I was prescribed midrin.  My rating is for the current midrin formula as it doesn't seem to work as well as it did back in the day when I was first prescribed it... back then it far surpassed 10!  It is still an effective migraine drug with less side effects than some other drugs that I was prescribed when midrin was unavailable.  It works quickly and, unless it is a really bad migraine, basically allows me to still be able to function once the headache subsides.

Currently, my Medicare drug plan doesn't cover it and it is expensive--- over $3.00 a capsule, unless you can find a coupon.   Last time it was filled I had a coupon and paid $1.12 a capsule."


"I started taking topiramate for my severe headaches and migraines, and it was very effective in that way.
My only complaint is the DRASTIC weight loss. I went from 125 pounds to 98 pounds and I looked awful! I became pregnant with my second child and went off the medication, and I experienced extreme panic and a feeling I can only describe as a “pre-seizure” feeling which made me spiral into panic attacks. I gained 50 pounds during my pregnancy and after having my child, went back on topiramate. Not long after, I was down to 98 pounds again. No thank you!! I am now off the medication and a healthy 120 pounds again. I can’t say that it wasn’t extremely effective, however."


"I stared on medication in the middle of my divorce and I stared to take Abilify then, I stopped since it was not covered by my insurance  anymore. I took Risperdal which messed up with my hormones and I had my prolactin levels super high they found a pituitary tumor in my brain ( adenoma) well I had to go for another type of treatment for that. Then, I took quitapine for sleeping I was not able to sleep for very long time Quitapine helped me to sleep but make me gain weight , hallucinations, and bad drugs for eyes. I stared on Lamotrogine since I started to take
 this everything was fine but after a while passing a year I notice some changes like red rash on my skin they were over my butts and my arms. I gained some weight and loosing my hair."


"I started with 1/2 mg daily then 2x then 1mg 2x. Too much for me. I did not like the feeling. So I have tapered off back to 1/2mg in the morning. So far craving minimal.  28 days so far. I am happy to be free of nicotine."


"I have been on this medication for over 15 years. I can tell you that this is the absolute best medication for panic attacks, the problem is that I never had any panic attacks until I quit taking the pill after a year of use. I was prescribed this when I was 18 after being hospitalized as the result of several traumatic events. I started on 32 mg and eventually was bumped up to 150mg and then 225 mg. I weened off and survived the withdrawals and felt amazing seriously felt like the best moment of my life but about a year after I stopped taking it, the depression came back twice as bad. "


"MUCH BETTER than Adderall, Vyvanse, or Dexedrine, or Ritalin.  IT is more effective for performing my scores on tests and learning.  It is better for the social anxiety component of ADHD. It is neurotoxic so you may not want to stay on it for the entire year, however, IT DOES have medical value at low doses if used by RESPONSIBLE users for several months out of the year. IT IS very effective for controlling treatment resistant depression and appetite problems as well. However, appetite would return to baseline when stopping Desoxyn.  I think this medicine should be strictly controlled, but should be available to patients who could truly benefit from it.  It has helped me get through a very difficult year, but my doctor took me off it. "


"I've been on the 'mini pill' for a few years now. I'm close to 35 and I smoke so my Gyno doesn't want me on the combination pill. I have had zero bad effects from this pill, I'm a sexually active female and have never had any problems with pregnancy while on this pill. Heres the KEY, ladies - let me put it in caps so everyone can follow along - YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS PILL AT THE SAME TIME EVERY SINGLE DAY, if you don't you will get the break through bleeding that can happen to some girls who just pop it whenever they remember - and possibly get pregnant since you're not keeping the needed level of hormones in your body to prevent pregnancy. This pill is safe and it's effective in preventing pregnancy providing you take it daily at the same time."


"For the first few months, I experienced some diarrhea. Then this condition subsided.

For about a year, I experienced tingling in my hands and feet. Now, after about 15 months, this feeling is almost gone.

Lymphoma had been found in my small intestine. After 15 months of imbruvica use, I have gained weight to a healthy level"


"Update from 8/26/13
My 16 yr old has been on spironolactone for under 3 months. Bye- bye concealer and make up. Skin is now clear on face and having to wear make up is now an option verses a must. THANK GOD self esteem is back. She went off pill she had side effects. So far side effects from spironolactone are small. She is more tired than usual. Also has 2 periods a month.  Dr said it should stabilize in next few months.  Her skin is truly clear. Not just sort of but clear. Let it work and be patient.  Can take 4 to 6 months to work."


"Had high blood pressure and felt really scattered, hard 2 focus, couldn't meditate, anxiety, when trying 2 go 2 sleep @ night, heart would beat really fast then skip a beat or two a few times, then would slow down, but heart rate was higher than it is now that I'm on clonidine. It has helped me to focus to calm down to meditate, just altogether my energy is much more positive and upbeat and happy. Everyone is different and responds differently to medication, but .1 mg of clonidine has for me made such a huge difference in my physiological and mental health it seems like a miracle drug to me. Thank God my Dr put me on it."


"I started taking Tamiflu yesterday. I've had the classic symptoms of the flu: body aches, fever, sweats, congestion, runny nose, sneezing, nausea, headache, dizziness,exhaustion, etc. I was prescribed Tamiflu to take. After 24 hours, I feel a lot better than I did yesterday. It has lesson the symptoms dramatically: no fever, few body aches, no dizziness, less congestion, no sneezing, and very little nausea. I would highly suggest people to take Tamiflu with food. I took it with a banana and apple sauce. Like many others, I was worried about the side effects, but I was already nauseated to begin with. It actually helped my nausea subside so that I was able to eat a bowl of chicken noodle soup. The only downside is that it is expensive."


"I have been on a laundry list of other medications for major depressive disorder, Viibryd is the first one that has worked and actually saved me from myself! The only side effect I have every day is nausea, but I can deal with that because I finally feel normal and am able to cope with my depression, anxiety and anger."


"Made my anxiety even worse, was unable to make it past a couple weeks."


"Maxalt is truly one of the most amazing migraine medications I have ever tried, and believe me, having migraines as a child and now at 52 years of age, there have been many.  As a migrainer, we truly know what suffering is.  Maxalt is the best, although, after losing my job 18 months ago and with no success of getting another, it is too expensive.  From my understanding the patent expires in 2012.  I truly hope the price goes down for those of us who cannot be without it."


"It really did help with my nightmares. (And lowered my blood pressure haha). I used to has nightmares almost every night and I have only had 3 on the 7 months I've been on it. My boyfriend thinks this is the best medicine ever created because now we can sleep peacefully. Didn't really help me fall asleep but didn't keep me awake either. And when I slept I would sleep though the night with no nightmares. Just really weird dreams."


"I'm giving this a 5 because I'm sure it is effective. I just want to warn people about how common esophagitis is with this medicine. My derm gave me this two weeks ago and I'm feeling like death. I can barely swallow any liquids. I was only able to get a couple hundred calories yesterday. I felt like going to the ER but there really isn't much they can do for you. You just have to let it run its course. It may take two weeks to get back to normal. You don't appreciate being able to eat and drink and swallow until it hurts like one of the worse pains in my life to do so. Major chest pain. I can't express how awful this is to deal with."


"Used, on the advice of a walk-in clinic GP, after being poked in the eye by an Iris (type of flower) leaf to relieve a burning sensation & blurry vision. Before prescribing he confirmed there were no scratches or other damage. Worked from the first drop. Despite the temporary burning sensation & having to take it four times a day I will definitely use again, if needed."


"My insurance co would not fill a rx for oxycontin until I have tried opana & a couple of others I've never heard of. I was in a near fatal auto accident younger, I need a knee & hip replacement, breast cancer at end of 2013 & have had terrible time with infections, causing more surgeries.  I lay in bed usually 16 hrs a day (including sleep) because I hurt all over & even more w/ house or yard chores . I'm allergic to morphine, codeine, delaudid, Fentanyl, CT scan dye - I can take only Demerol after surgery. At home the only med that I am not allergic to is oxycontin & ultram. I am now trying opana, because of my insurance company.  I'm supposed to take 1 -20mg 2x/day. I am very disappointed. What little relief in gave me was only for about 2 hrs."


"Within a few days of starting this medicine, I became very aware of my heart beat and my heart seemed to be racing.  I attended a pre-operative assessment where I was given a routine ECG and this confirmed that I had become tachycardic while taking amlodipine.  My pulse was racing at over 100 BPM and my blood pressure actually went UP while I was taking this medicine.  I had to discontinue use to stop the adverse effects."


"August 8th 2017 tested positive.
Viral load 10,109 cd4 512
Started meds August 27th 2017
Retested September 28th 2017
And viral load is 49 and cd4 865
I had a few minor headaches and I now take my meds with or without food with no problems. I take my meds in the morning at my first break 10 am.
Thanks to this site I was nervous at first read all the reviews and they helped me and knowing what to expect. So thought I would return the favor."


"As the above suggests, my whole life I was a little terror. After going through a severe depression stage in my early teens and plummeting grades through high school (I always got the "shes very smart but never does her homework), I am finally on the right track. This drug actually helps to control my anxiety and mood as well as accomplish the tasks at hand. For the first time I don't feel overwhelmed when I look at all the things I need to do."


"Miserable! I was tired. Weak, couldn't stand or walk. My lips were chapped, burning and the corners of my mouth were red and raw. Food and drink burned when swallowed ."


"Gets you over the hump in regard to asthma flare ups, and have had fewer Emergency Room episodes since getting this.  Taking it everyday is another story - it causes chestpain after about the 3rd consecutive day of use.  So I generally stop using after a couple days, and then if symptoms still persist will start up again after a day or two break from the drug.  When asthma is back under control I dont take the drug at all."


"Wife is on this now for her 4th week  (800mg ) she has Soft tissue in Right Lung after mets from uterus. Leiomyosarcoma. (sp)  A month ago she was coughing   every 2 minutes, now not so much but she is tired has nausea and the headaches.  No appetite and when she ate solid food it would always come back up.  Now  her food consists of  4- 6 smoothies a day.  Got a Vitamix  after  many  recommended  it  on other websites on the internet.  You fellow patient who have gone before her and have reported  your experiences are the "only" thing that have kept her pressing forward.  She has large tumor in chest and it is hope that this will hollow it out or something. Her first Chemo GEMS/Taxol only worked for 3 months . Then it started regrowing"


"For me Rituxan has been the best medicine yet. I have been through Enbrel and Humira which helped but began to lose their effectiveness after awhile."


"This medicine works. Nothing else does."


"Dark stool and stomach discomfort"


"Have been on Oxytrol for several years now and found it to work very well for me.  Now I find that none of the retailers, in my area of Texas, are carrying it any more.  Anyone know why?     To the question of whether or not did my insurance cover this drug, it is an OTC, no insurance required."


"Stay far away from this product.  It has been years since I've had a YI and I decided to use it.  I wish I read the reviews prior to purchasing but I purchased the product due to brand name recognition.  What I've found is that the cons far outweigh the pros.  Monistat should pull it off the shelves entirely.  I have tried showering to remove the excess cream and used a thin pad to keep dry. Nothing works and I will not use the additional cream that the product came with to prevent further reation. Many of the reviews state the symptoms got worse when the cream was applied.  I am hoping I can get into my GYN tomorrow to obtain medication that will counter act this disaster or at least give me much needed relief."
