"I've been on this pill for almost two years and it has been great. No weight change. My breasts got really sore at first and gained a cup size, but that normalized. I did feel like I lost a lot of hair and my acne flares up once in awhile, but drinking a lot of water helps the acne. My period was twice a month at first, but now it is every six weeks and it lasts seven or eight days.  Kind of strange, but I've gotten used to it.  My favorite part of this pill is that I haven't experienced pms that my husband nor I can remember. We used to get in monthly fights... I highly recommend this pill for someone that doesn't want to take estrogen. My mom has blood clotting issues, so this was one of the only options for me."


"Terrible. Broke out in really bad acne (five pimples on my face) within a week of taking it (I normally have very clear skin). Skin in general has become an oil slick. Much more emotional than usual and started crying at a concert after two drinks. Hungrier than normal - I think about food a lot and I've already gained a few lbs. Fell asleep one night without taking my pill. By the time I woke up my period had started and I proceeded to spot for the next week despite religiously continuing to take my pill at the exact same time. I quit. This sucks. On the plus side, I'm sure that this works well as birth control. I am unlikely to get pregnant as I am broken out, puffy, emotional and continuously on my period! Thanks, Lolo!"


"I've read through some of these reviews, and thought some were great, and others matched with me perfectly. I started Tri-Sprintec about a month and a half ago. After reading the reviews, I am going to make an appointment with my doctor to get switched to something else. Like many of the other women I have bad mood swings, am very emotional all of the time, and the way I have been mentally and emotionally lately is interfering with relationships. I used to be much happier, and before reading these reviews I was thinking I was becoming seriously depressed. I am also starting to shed a lot of hair - which I think is from stress and unhappiness. My personal experience on Tri-Sprintec was bad, but everyone's body reacts differently."


"Started taking this medicine for iching after being given it by my doctor. Worked for 1 day and after it didn't.
Made me feel so sleepy but couldn't sleep and make my iching worse, couldn't sleep at night
Wouldn't recommend"


"Well I've been on this birth control for a month now and the only negative thing is I gained 10 pounds in the past month. Other than that I haven't had any cramping or a period. Before this I was on the junel 1/20 which my cramping was horrible and my periods were heavy when I had them. I would get it for 3 months then missed a month."


"I'm 19 this is my first YI and I'm taking the 7 day treatment and about 5 minutes after inserting I started feeling more uncomfortable then  the burning and itching was annoying so I took ibuprophen and then I took Tylenol. Now I don't feel no more itching or burning so I would take some pain medicine right after you insert it that way the itching and burning doesn't last as long but when I pee now it feels so much better so I know it's working and it's just night one so I would recommend it. PS the burning means it's working ladies.  And it's a lot cheaper than going to the doctors and spending over $300 just for a appointment when you can spend $13 on this product and get better !"


"Worst medication ever. Was prescribed for strep throat...the swollen tonsils and pain in my throat has subsided, however, the first dose made me so weak I almost passed out....now it's day 3 and I have severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea every 10 to 20 minutes for the past 6 hours, gas all day long; and I feel faint here and there. I called my doctor and he switched me to a zpak starting tomorrow morning. I can't wait til this is over."


"I've been on it for about 12 days..I'm also on Luvox..so far I don't see much benefit out of it. It's made me extremely tired and hungry..2 things I hate to be..I'm really hoping with some more time it improves because my anxiety is horrible and a few years ago I was into heroin and Xanax so I don't want to fall down that road again. The Luvox definitely helped but not enough..I'm also only on the 20mg of Latuda right now. How long do you think it takes to get the full effect?"


"I've been taking Lisinopril for about 10 days now. I was on Amlodipine which gave me horrible side affects like sore muscles, dizziness, short breath, no sex drive.  Lisinopril 10mg a day brought my blood pressure down from 140/90 to 120's/80's.  With no side effects but I have noticed a dry throat with coughing like others have mentioned.  I'll have to monitor to see if it is from the new drug."


"Allergies   pink eye = terrible congestion and a sore throat from all the eye drops.  I took Mucinex D to ease the congestion a bit.  It has thinned the mucus significantly, however my stomach is very gassy and unsettled; and my heart is also racing!  I haven't taken my temperature, but I feel a little feverish.  Like many of you I was not able sleep last night.  I will probably halve the dose tomorrow. But all in all it's worth it.  I can breath and that's probably the most important thing."


Chondroitin / glucosamine / methylsulfonylmethane

"Regardless of recent study results, I.ve been taking Glucosamine for 10+ years and it has reduced osteoarthritis pain in my knee. May not work for everyhone but I'm one of the lucky ones."


"With Imuran, I had no quality of life. Daily fatigue and nausea/vomitting. Things are better on Entyvio."


"Kapidex has been the best drug I've been on for GERD. I can eat pretty much all foods now and not deal with chest tightness or nausea that comes with having a hiatial hernia and GERD. I would give this medicine a 10, but the side effects....They are not major or bad, but they are there. Since taking the medicine I haven't had diarrhea, but have been constipated on some days. I have had the stomach pains which feel like really bad cramps. But, the worst has been I'm now recovering from a common cold which is a side effect. I wasn't around anyone sick and my allergies are over, so I pinpointed the medicines. Other than that, great medicine!"


"I am a serious alcoholic. I blew numbers as high as .49 in detox. I had 4 seizures in 3 days the last time I tried to cut back. I'm a woman and not a big one, I wear a size 4-6 and can easily drink most 280 lb. men under the table. My life is in shambles and 12 step has not done the job.  I've had 3 1/2 years twice. Meetings 9&10 a week, fellowship, sponsors and sponsorship have been great and have made me a better person, but haven't kept me sober.  At this point total abstinence is something I've tried and tried but haven't been able to do. I had lost all hope when Naltrexone and the Sinclair Method was mentioned.
  Today I took the Naltrexone before drinking. I was able to stop after 6 drinks and had no further cravings. HOPE at last!"


"I had a real rough patch of depression and over the last two years I went up from 180lbs to 275 lbs and seemed everything I tried failed.  at 5'10' I was diagnosed as obese, developed high blood pressure, pre-diabetic & cholesterol was high. I couldn't exercise because I was so winded all the time.     Started on Saxenda November 9.  The goal is to introduce more physical activity as I start to drop the weight that's contributing to my being winded.

I'm now up to the 1.8 dose and in the first 18 days I am down 10 lbs.    Better food choices help too.

Side effects: Slight nausea, fatigue/sleepiness and morning headaches.

Insurance co considering entitlement because of the other comorbid factors. otherwise it's damn expensive."


"I wish I had better news but

I took this in low doses initially and did ok though my RLS still plaqued me

Once I titrated to 100 mg my legs were OK but I became violently ill

Id vomit one hr after taking requip

I tried going to a lower dose but I guess I developed a sensitivity and either vomited or felt incredibly nauseated all day"


"Have had YEARS of irritable bowel syndrome with constipation. Bowel movement usually only twice per week...in and out of the bathroom for several hours, cramping and pain that would sometimes give me cold sweats. Then exhaustion and residual intestinal ache all day. No one understood. Fiber was useless. Several bouts of diverticulitis. Never realized that IBS and contipation could contribute to the development of diverticulosis. To me Linzess is a miracle. Yes you do need to be near a bathroom and the bowel motions are mostly liquid in this first 2 weeks I have been taking it. But NO PAIN, RESIDUAL ACHE OR EXHAUSTION! I can take it and go to work. Going out...just get up a little earlier. I even feel better and more energetic overall."


"I was asked by my Doctor in Mumbai, India, to take Hydroxyurea 500 for 10 days and I got this Capsules of Hydrea from the store.my platelets were 650000 to start then After taking the capsules for 10 days the platelets count came down to 570000. I was advised to further continue the capsules for another 30 days. After 30 days the platelets  count was 432000. I have not experienced any side effects."


"10mg of this medication in the morning did wonders for my anxiety and depression.  I felt awful physically and mentally and it made me feel WAY normal again.  The side effects I experienced were heart palpitations, increase in stomach acid, occasional nausea, minor drowsiness, and dizziness upon standing.  None were bad enough to quit. "


"I am a 69 year old female with extensive family history of vision loss from wet AMD.  I was diagnosed with bilateral dry AMD at age 55.  In March 2017 I noticed distortion and smudging in the right eye. I immediately sought treatment and was administered Eylea. I have now had 3 monthly injections.  The macular edema has subsided and the leakage has stopped.  I am now scheduled for injections at 8 week intervals. The injection procedure is painless, however once the numbing medication wears off the discomfort is intense for approx. 6 hours.  I manage the pain with ice packs, one hydrocodone tablet and a long nap.  I am cautiously optimistic that the Eylea medication will protect me from the same fate of my numerous relatives who were blind."


"As a paraplegic with obesity and Type II diabetes that was out of control, It was very nice to see my numbers come down finally. This medicine is Highly effective at reducing the glucose for me.

I believe the reason that I have not had any yeast infection is because I wear a indwelling catheter. So when urine rarely ever touches the skin around my genitals, or anywhere else.

I believe that with proper care of the skin around the (male) genitalia, ie washing the tip of the penis after urination, would reduce or perhaps even eliminate any problems with yeast infection. It is only my opinion, as I am NOT a physician or in any medical field.

I've been on this medicine for almost a year and have reduced my HA1C almost down to 6 from 8.7."


"I became extremely emotional, depressed and anxious. Woke up throughout the night sweating and had nightmares when i did manage to sleep. This did not help my hotflashes. I couldn't tolerate it and immediately stopped taking it."


"Takes care of the symptoms quickly. The first day feels like a sledgehammer to your chest. No side effects."


"I have had 20 colonoscopies or so and have had mostly Golytley 4 liters in the past. Hands down this is the easiest prep I have ever had to do. Doing a split prep was awesome and in the past I had nausea, vomiting, and severe pain. With Suprep I didn't even cramp. Clear liquids the day before the procedure helps.
I would pay full price for this, you have no idea how much better it is than what has been available in the past."


"I thought Nuvigil was good, but Adderall is amazing.  It helps me feel almost human, again.  Not only does Adderall keep me awake, but it clears up some of the mental fog caused by Narcolepsy.  Cataplexy is also not as severe when I'm on Adderall.  I can finally focus at work, I have enough energy to take care of myself and my family, and I'm doing so well at work that I got two raises in the last 3 months!  The irony is that you have to be well-rested for it to work; otherwise, it does absolutely nothing.  I have also started devoloping a tolerance so it starts to wear off after about 3-4 hours, but I take another dose and it gets me through the rest of the day."


"With the first  shot I could touch my toes ,but it only lasted seven days. I am on second shot and it has been ten days and it's still working. I wake up at 5 every morning feeling refreshed. I look forward to my shot."


"It was one of my worst days ever with Hay Fever. Ten sodden handkerchiefs and still fluids literally pouring from my nose and eyes. My throat felt like it was closing and I was choking and coughing. I just had to go to the Pharmacy for something or risk collapsing. For the first time I decided to try Zyrtec.Wow. it was like magic. Within a minute or two the coughing stopped, the fluid loss stopped and I felt normal again. This stuff is sensationally effective!
That night I slept like a baby with no nasal obstruction at all. I awoke refreshed and free from symptoms. It remained so all the next day. I then took another Zyrtec 24 hrs later and will do so until the pack is empty.
A big big thankyou to the person who discovered it."


"I started on Brenda and it made my mild acne worse. I switched to Yasmin and it cleared it right up, however, 5 months on and my face has started feeling greasy and I'm developing small pimples. I don't know if it's just this hot dry weather.
Ps: I stopped doing a 4 step cleansing and treating routine as I thought I had no need. So perhaps it's a combination of those two factors."


"My dermatologist provided me with several sample tubes of Lidex to treat a mysterious rash, which he thought was a fungal infection, that recurred in the same spot on my skin several times.

It worked like a charm, and since then, I have used it sparingly whenever I get a stubborn jock itch that won't go away with anything else.

My doctor warned me it can thin the skin, so I use it as little as possible but the good news is a single thin application is usually sufficient to knock out whatever is troubling my skin and soothes the itching in such a way that it doesn't come back again for months and months. I think it's a very, very good medication for stubborn itching, when other remedies aren't helping."


"Been on Invokana since August 20, 2013. I've lost 36 pounds since then & been able to discontinue taking my glimepiride (within 3 days of starting the Invokana), cut my metformin in half to 1000mg in the morning only, & have begun cutting the insulin from 30 units at bedtime to 20 or less. I still take Victoza in the morning. My A1c has gone from 10.2 to 7.6 and my triglycerides are near the top of the normal range. I have tried Bydureon & Byetta, but Invokana has been the first real successful medicine to help get my diabetes under control. Along with healthy eating choices & exercise, I am under 300lbs for the first time in too many years to count. If I can do this, so can you!"


"I am a pharmacist so I did a lot of research on Saxenda before deciding to try it.  I have tried other weight loss medication before without any benefit, just side effects.  I have taken Saxenda for 2 and a half weeks, I have lost 6 lbs.  I’m doing a slower titration on the dose 0.6 x 14 days then up to 1.2mg for the last few days.  The day I increased the dose to 1.2mg I felt bloated and burped all day long- I hardly ate a thing!  I felt much better the second day.
My biggest concern is I can not afford it!  I got 1 sample pen from my doc, she has another waiting for me to pick up.  My insurance will not cover it.  The cost for a month supply is $1198!  That is $14,376/year!  Who can afford that? I guess the sample will be my last use."


"It has changed my life and helped me so much."


"I just finished my Azithromycin tablets. .

Feeling 100% better. .

No side effects...."


"Withdrawal is nasty in spite of doctors saying there are no withdrawal effects. It is sedative and can be impairing so drivers be careful"


"When I took this, I took it without food, and within 45 minutes I puked it up, and had such severe abdominal pain I couldn't move and I was breathing like I was giving birth."


"My experience: Painful insertion but I expected that since I've never had children. There was a lot of bloating, cramping,  and breast tenderness in the first couple of weeks. I used Pamprin and a heating pad on my belly and that helped. About a week after insertion came the brown sludge  and lasted about ten days.  The first month was a study in misery but after that my periods stopped and it's been a breeze with some occasional light cramping and spotting. The only drawback for me personally is that I am 51 years old and perimenopausal so not having periods makes it impossible for me to track my cycle. But overall I am delighted."


"I took this to help with a personal issue at work. I am a teacher of 17 years and never lose control as some situations which I had little to no control caused me to have an anxiety attack. The doctor prescribed 20 mg Celexa and half of the pill for 6 days then a whole 20 mg. Day 1 I did not get sick but at work I was very calm and easy as I am like that 90 percent of the time without medicines anyway but things tend to bother me and I keep them bottled up and hidden inside, which caused me to have the anxiety attack. This is day 2, I did take the other half of the pill. I will see how it goes for today. I am thinking of only taking the pill as needed as I tend to hold on to the negatives in my life. I believe Celexa will help me greatly."


"My blood pressure was up to 200/95 and my doctor prescribed this for me quite a along time ago.  It has done wonders for my blood pressure.  Usually around 120/80 or can be lower at times.  I also take 2 other blood pressure pills along with this.  The only thing I have noticed is that my pulse is higher than it used to be.  All in all though, this is been a life saver for me."


"For a YEAR this birth control caused the worst acne/period of my life! I would have extremedy heavy/painful periods lasting up to two weeks. They would make me nauseous/dizzy, double over from sharp pains. If I forgot to take it for HALF A DAY, the period would start all over again!! I went to my Dr. to find out if I had endometriosis & ran a bunch of tests, even ultrasounds, but nothing was present.

Eventually, I couldn't afford the health insurance increase so I went without the birth control for a yr+. During that break, all my acne went away & I no longer had pain/issues with my period. I went back on Gildess Fe a few months ago & everything came back! WORST BC EVER!

I use Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 now. Light 2-3 day periods no pain/acne!"


"This bar really works. I've used Proactiv and tried every other product on the market. I also used the 5% acne wash at Kaiser and it didn't work. Whatever is in the Panoxyl, the combination is perfect for my 28 year old skin that's still breaking out. I use it on my face, chest and back. It's a lifesaver."


"Was on Zovia 1/35 for 7 years and experience was great and that rating would have been a 10. However, the manufacturer used to be Watson (pink packet), but now it is manufactured by Mayne (blue packet), which I give a 3 rating.  I only took the Zovia pills manufactured by Mayne for 5 days.  I stopped taking because I started to get acne and each day I was getting more pimples.  I am not acne prone and the previous Zovia pills by Watson did not break me out.  Now I am on Kelnor, which supposed to be similar to Zovia (both are generic for Demulen) however now my periods last about 8 days and I get small bumps on my face that clear up for a few days then reappear in different locations. So Kelnor is rated a 6."


"This drug was awful! I took it for less than a week, and it intensified my anxiety severely. Because I took other SSRI's which did not cause me to have side effects such as this one, I would prefer not to try and see how long it takes for sertraline to reach full efficacy. This drug is NOT for severe anxiety. I implore readers to try Escitalopram (Lexapro) instead for GAD. Zoloft may treat depression, but it may definitely worsen anxiety!"


"Horrible experience, although everyone is different. I was on 150mg, I am currently tapering off while switching to Welbutrin. With Effexor  tapering is necessary. I've tried going off cold turkey and the withdrawals are like nothing I've ever experience. I had intense brain zaps (google it), flu like symptoms, could easily sleep half a day away. Even if you miss one day, you experience these withdrawal symptoms. While on it, it only worked somewhat well for a month or so. I experienced light nausea which went away. I also experienced impotence and unable to climax which has not gone away. Now that I'm tapering and introducing Welbutrin the sexual side effects seem to be getting better."


"I am prescribed 8 every 3 weeks for when I really can't sleep since I have chronic pain. It's seriously a miracle! Since I only take it every so often, I'm not dependent on it. The only downfall is the in between point of ingestion and sleep which I usually cannot remember which is a little nerve racking but other than that, it's wonderful."


"Into my fourth doze (100mg) took it with cold tea and shortly after felt sick for a while. I previously took it with a large glass of water and along with a meal had no symptoms. Do what the notes tell you to do take with a meal and don't lie down but keep active and all will be fine."


"I am 21 years old and don't have any children. I have had the Mirena in for almost 2 years and at first I loved it, however I have had a few problems with it. I gained about 25 lbs, I am moody, not a very healthy appetite, no motivation for anything sometimes that included sex, but the past few months I have had nothing but stomach pain (scale of 1-10 about 8). It is very consistent and is there every day. I will be getting it taken out."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I had my first colonoscopy yesterday and can say that other than being worried about it before (going under the anesthesia) there was really nothing to it.

The day before the procedure I drank a bottle of Mag Citritate around 12:00.  Then at 6:00 PM took the first small bottle of Suprep.  I did chill it and mixed it with very cold water.  I drank it all in about 2 or 3 shots and it did not taste that bad.  I then drank two 16 oz cups of cold water.  Waited about 30 minutes and it kicked in.  The day of the procedure I drank the other bottle around 6:00 am and did the same thing.  Had no issues at all.  FYI in the morning don't brush your teeth before you drink it (will make it taste awful).  Overall worked very well and I was very please"


"Great. Only downside is the price."


"I've had eczema my entire life. For as long as I can remember I've been itchy. You name it, I've tried it. From all natural remedies to every prescription cream, ointment, and pill. I've only been using this ointment for 2 days and I noticed a difference within hours. The itching is completely gone and my skin is noticeably softer (to me at least). I didn't have any irritation or pain on the affected sights. So far I'm very pleased. I'm using it as a free trial from my dermo, and her and I are both hoping it's a game changer that will soon be covered by insurance."


"Ok so I was active on 5/20 and wasn't sure if  he ejaculated inside of me so I took plan b a few hours later just in case. I'm writing this because I think my story is alittle different than most. I didn't know what to expect so I read some reviews and expected nausea and visiting and to get my period a few days later. But because the last day of my period was just the day before I took the pill, I didn't get my period until TWO weeks after taking the pill. I also didn't have many side effects. I was bloated and alittle moody, also, my discharge became inconsistent and was more watery. Then when I got my period, it looked more mucusy. Sorry for the visuals, it's just that usually these aren't very specific. Point is, it works!! Don't stress"


"I've been on Microgestrin for only 2 weeks now and so far I love it!
I don't want to jinx it by writing this review but so far I've had no breakthrough bleeding and I'm not having to worry about spotting or even discharge! My sex drive is crazy. The only complaints is that my nipples are a little tender and my breasts have actually gone a cup size smaller! But so far no headaches or weight gain other than sometimes I do feel the urge to just eat all day!
"


"I have been on escitalopram for about 4 1/2 months and I am finally anxiety free. I wanted to share my experience since I constantly read reviews here and it helped me realize the initial symptoms were happening to others. In the first few weeks I had an major increase in anxiety especially in the morning. I had hot flashes, ringing in the ears, bowel issues, wasn't hungry, and pretty much thought I was getting worse and should just quit. I read other positive reviews on here and decided to stick it out. I am glad I did. After about 8 weeks I felt improvement in my anxiety that gradually kept getting better. I used to obsess and worry about trivial things. I had anxiety about driving etc.. Now I am happy and anxiety free."


"I had a SynVisc1 shot 10 days ago. Was so looking forward to it as the cortisone shot I had gotten before it lasted a short 2 months. I had tried earlier to have the shot but Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield would not approve it til I tried other options. So then the cortisone was done. Then they approved it. It was a pain thru Wellmark. And a bigger pain when the SynVisc1 was done. Excruciating pain! Thought I was gonna pass out! Barely made it to my car. I am in much pain. Can't bend my knee. Shooting pain from tip of toe to butt. I am waiting impatiently. Some people say they got theirs done with an ultrasound guidance. I did not. I question if he hit the spot. He is one of the top orthopeds in Cedar Rapids. Said may take 30 DAYS!"


"I have had Nexplanon for nearly a year and the only side effect I have ever had was itching at the implant site. I had it implanted in December of '13 and I have still yet to have any spotting or periods. I would definitely get it again."


"I started Habitrol because when I quit drinking alcohol, I started smoking and eating everything in sight.  The Habitrol not only curbed my craving for alcohol, it curbed ALL of my cravings for substances I've struggled with for years.  I stopped using the patch for 2 days, and ate a whole batch of brownies to keep from drinking or smoking.

Don't know how this story will end, but whatever is in this product is a blessing to those of us suffering with addictions."


"I've been taking Compazine for years for nausea due to stomach problems. I have never had any side effects and it completely gets rid of my nausea. Best antiemetic for me."


"On Gabapentin orginally due to back pain and lost my job of 13 years health issues. Prescribed gabapentin a few hundred for a few yrs. for back pain later moved went to 3200 mlgs a day for Fibromyalgia. Later moved back I hurt so bad because of Gab. I could barely walk, lost my senses, thinking ability, coordination, my joints hurt, & my nose omg. Then a physc. diagnosed me of having a mild ID because of it I'm off of it feeling much better & will see him soon this is going to be interesting trying to get out of the diagnoses. Withdrawals from it suck too."


"I am now seizure free! I used to have 3-4 a month."


"I have been severely depressed over the past two years after the passing of my mother. MD tried me on Wellbutrin, Trazadone and Celexa. I continued on the Celexa for about 1 1/2 years but still had many days with depression and losing jobs only to remain in bed depressed, hopeless , tearful and suicidal thoughts. None of those meds worked for me.  I have currently seen a new MD and changes my meds to Cymbalta in AM and Elavil in PM. These meds are miracle drugs for me. Been on them for a month now. I've never felt this good in years!!! "


"100 mg every 12 hours for suspected sinus infection. Took 3 pills and refused to take anymore. Nausea and headache. I never have difficulty with medication. Doc switched me to z-pack. Will never take it again."


"I have literally been on almost everything including a VNS stimulator. I had 3 near fatal suicide attempts that put me on life support. I was even involuntarily committed to the state hospital. I have PTSD, MDD, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, and brain injury. Parnate is the only drug that has EVER helped. All of my friends and family say there is a profound difference from just this one medication than any absurd cocktail. It even helps with my lethargy, memory impairment, and concentration. I had no problems but the reluctance of my doctor who panicked and took me off of it despite my obvious improvement. Now I got it back! It is AMAZING  and tragically under-utilized. Insist on it before agreeing to VNS or ECT."


"I have been on it for over a year.  Only problem is a problem with retarded ejaculation.  If I plan on sex Sunday I skip a dose Saturday and take the Sunday dose after sex.  It works for me."


"Taken for only a week now, stream better, quantity or urine better, still get up during the night 2 maybe 3 times but this is better than every 30 mins, Side effects , stuffy nose , bad wind , blurred vision, tiredness , zero ejaculation (however feeling is same) erection not quite as erect as before so mainly sexual (and as im only 42 this maybe a deal breaker) drug works but side effects may overule use !! shame"


"There are a lot of negative reviews, so I thought I would share my experience, because I was freaked out before going on it after reading reviews. Just remember, everyone is different. I've been on this birth control now for a little over 2 months. My experience has been overall pretty good-- mild nausea first 2 weeks, a few hours after taking it, (I would say at worst a 4/10). I would suggest taking it before bed, that's definitely helped and literally zero libido, so that really has sucked. Other than that, no other side effects."


"I had the first one December 2011. No side effects what so ever. No period. Had only unprotected sex and never had a worry. In December 2014 got it removed and another put in. Same simple procedure, they just put it back into the "capsule" that your body makes with the first one. Again no side effects or period. We decided to have another baby so January 2016 got it removed, which I paid $200. As insurance won't cover it if it is before your three years. Had my first menstrual Feb. 26th 2016. And got pregnant instantly. Had my baby full-term November 27, 2016. And now January 20, 2017 got another one put in. Everyone's body is different and will tolerate birth control differently. None of the others worked for me, this has been MY birth control"


"As I posted last September 25, 2017 being worried of getting pregnant coz I took the pill during my ovulation day and do our lovemaking again the next day.
 Well, Plan B saves me. I'm not pregnant. I don't feel any side effects.My period came on the same day as I expected and complete the 4 days cycle, its lighter than my usual menstruation but I did not have bad cramps, headache and dizziness.
Everything is fine. And Plan B  really works. Girls don't panic just take it as early as possible wait and relax. Be smart and be safe."


"This medication is a lifesaver.  I was given this medication for neuropathy and fibromyalgia but it has also helped with depression.  I am on 60 mg in the morning.  I had given up on ever getting the fibromyalgia under control."


"I suffer from chronic back and neck pain and I find that it works as well as Vicodin or Percodan. The only big side effect that I get from this medicine is the fact that I am sleepy the next day. I don't find it addictive but then I only try and take it when I can't sleep because of the pain"


"I had many issues with hormonal birth control pills, and decided switching to a hormone free, extremely low maintenance option would be great. I've had it roughly 3 months, and so far I love it.

When it was inserted, the stabilizing of the cervix was the most painful. But after it was in I went home and was fine. My vagina was a little swollen for about a week, and I did take an ibuprofen the second day for swelling, but it wasn't necessary.

The "strings" of the copper IUD are soft and my partner can't feel them. I'm still spotting, but my periods haven't been heavier and only mild cramping (before I had none). If I wasn't still spotting and bleeding after sex I'd have given it 10 stars, but my dr says spotting like this is normal."


"Did the Suprep last night. Used a straw and plugged nose and took sips of plain water periodically during the course of drinking the  prep.  Popped mint gum in my mouth right after. No nausea at all. Took 7 minutes.  If you are not used to drinking that volume of water you might want to start practicing a few weeks earlier. My work out trainer always has us drinking approx 120 ounces of water throughout the day so the volume was no problem. At the doctors office today a nurse was telling someone it's not the taste (slight grape) , it's the liquid volume that makes folks nauseous. It worked really great and was a much better / more efficient experience than the miralax."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I have been on Beyaz for only 5 days. My doctor recommended it knowing that I am a smoker, but I'm only 25.  I already had a tubal ligation so Beyaz is for hormones and acne.  I feel very nauseous and have severe migraines, loss of appetite extremely tired, also I have a nasty taste in my mouth that just won't go away no matter how much I brush floss or mouthwash.  I'm not sure if I could handle these side effects being a 2 and 3, working full time I have to have the most energy as possible. These side effects don't help."


"It doesn't work at ALL for anxiety."


"I have had mild acne my entire life.  I'm 33 years old and after trying everything finally tried Claravis. The first few months the acne was worse.  The following 3 months I would have my normal breakouts. Finally after 6 or 7 months I just stopped breaking out and haven't had one pimple since. I'm on my last week of the meds and am sooo happy! The dry lips sucked I kept chapstick on every room of the house at work and in the car but still so worth it to not have to feel the need to load makeup on my face before I leave the house! My advice to everybody is to give it at least six or seven months before you get discouraged and stop taking it!"


"I think it's day 28, yep on my last pill of the entire first month. Had to use the patch for a while but stopped 5-7 days ago. Still have some cravings but not nearly as bad as first on the medicines. Had to refill my prescription today.  So month 2 coming up."


"I definitely recommend the Mirena as an option for birth control. I decided to get it my senior year in high school because I have goals to achieve and I did not want any babies stopping that. I started off with pills but I realized my lifestyle did not fit that. If you do not want to worry about taking a pill on time EVERYDAY, and worry about the possibilities of you becoming pregnant, get the Mirena. It didn't hurt much and now all I'm doing is spotting. Take this from a teenager, it DOES work."


"I had to write this review because everyone else's reviews freaked me out so much before taking this antibiotic. I have a very sensitive stomach and if there is a side effect to a medication, I usually get it. I took this with food and I had no problems at all. No nausea, no stomach pains, no diarrhea, no hives, nothing. Only reason I didn't give this antibiotic ten stars is because I was hoping to feel better at this point. I just took my last dose and i definitely feel better, but still have a ways to go. All in all, I would recommend this antibiotic and do not be so afraid of the other reviews. Take with food and you will be fine."


"Provigil helps my Multiple Sclerosis fatigue, but my drug insurance company won't okay it because it's an "off-label" use. My psychiatrist was actually the first doctor to prescribe it, which is also off-label use. It doesn't give me great energy, but at least I don't sleep all day. With depression AND MS I have a double whammy. I definitely know the difference when I don't have it."


"With all the bad reviews I was scared to try this! So far I have had 0 symptoms. no weight gain, no  hair loss, no appetite increase/decrease. I guess everyones body is different but this birth control works amazing for me"


"My cycles are regulated now which is nice but the part that is driving me crazy is my nipples hurt so bad around the same time every month. I feel nausea, heartburn, same symptoms as a pregnancy. I am going to use for one more month and if it doesn't go away. I am switching."


"I had the Implanon put in June of 2010. I started out weighing 150 and I rapidly gained weight putting me up to 210lbs. I haven't gained anymore weight after those first few months but I am certainly not able to lose any of it. I have bad headaches, moody, no energy. I dislike it and will be getting it removed on the 2 year anniversary of getting it in."


"Have been on 3 other pills before Natazia (Microgynon 30, Marvelon, and Brevinor). Had many many symptoms with these pills including constant breakthrough bleeding, nausea, vomiting, headaches, increased appetite, bad moods. I thought I would be one of those women who couldn't go on the pill at all. Then I tried this pill (having heard its more "natural" and a four-phase pill) and I cannot believe that I haven't even had any symptoms at all. Nothing, AT ALL! I would seriously recommend this pill if you have had problems with other pills especially regarding breakthrough bleeding."


"Be careful. This drug can put you in the hospital within the first week. I suffered debilitating muscle pain in my left leg. I lost half the muscles. I had to sit in a chair for 3 months to recover on 60 mg of steroids. It took 8 months to figure it out. If you have any pain in your legs or back stop immediately. Don't think you can overcome the pain, the company will not admit the severity."


""I am taking Clarithromycin 500mg.I have had a chest infection for over two weeks with no improvement so my G.P prescribed me these antibiotics. Although I have felt better and my chest is not so bad I have been experiencing the side effects from this medication. I have been experiencing very bad dreams - lucid and frightening to the point I don't want to go to sleep at night. I also have an awful metallic taste in my mouth that makes everything I eat or drink taste horrid. I have been experiencing stomach discomfort - aching/pain in stomach with mild diarrhoea. The worst thing I have experienced so far is the racing heartbeat. I'm considering stopping these tablets as the side effects are far to worrying."


"I was having migraines for 3 years almost daily in summer! Horrible, lived on Imitrex and xanax. My neurologist suggested Botox . First round after the injections I had discomfort really burning in back below my neck. I kept putting heat on it and it was gone in 3 weeks. I also did not like the side effect of my eyebrows going up from botox! My husband said I looked like I was shocked all the time or sometimes a devil! Maybe 1 mild migraine after that! Day I was due for 2nd round I had an excruciating headache before botox shots. Dr went ahead with botox and by days end migraine was gone! This was 2 weeks ago and not 1 migraine. I also asked him not to inject above my eyebrows so he injected in between eyes. Doing wonderful!!!"


"Been taking mobic over 3 years for my arthritis..It has less side effects than celebrex, relafen but is more like the vioxx i took for 10 years.."


"I have been on Stelara for almost 3 months. Had the 3rd shot even 1 month earlier than planned. I have psoriasis on my fingers and nails. I think this drug is just overrated. Nothing really happened. Plus the P is coming back on my elbows again after a long recession. I am supposed to take the last 3 shots but I don't think there will be any improvement."


"I have Fibromyalgia and major back problems.  Recently,  I visited the ER for my back, and they gave me Tylenol 3, which did nothing for my pain. I went to the doctor a few days later and told him I need something stronger, and he prescribed me 10mg of oxycontin twice per day.  I can only tolerate  taking one per day (any more makes me throw up), but since starting this medicine,  it has significantly reduced my all around pain levels by at least  85%! I am grateful for this medicine."


"I receive Toradol in the ER for migraines when nothing else gets them under control. It is the absolute best treatment when needed."


"Side effects were jitters, insomnia, rapid heart beat and restless legs."


"After having taken this drug for 2 months, I got an awful, foul taste in my mouth and could not have anything touch my tongue without gagging and a feeling of something in my throat after visiting 5 doctors who just looked at me like I was crazy and never heard of anything like that one said it was the medication.  I stopped taking it on Nov 2 this is Dec 1 and I still cannot eat or drink anything other than water.  I have lost about 25 pounds.  It is making me weak and tired and have no quality of life at this point.  I no longer care about the toenail fungus I have been so sick with the taste, smell problem that the toenail problem is the very least of my worries.  Missed Thanksgiving and hoping I won't miss Christmas. Don't take it!!"


"I started this birth control about two months ago. My periods are light and quick. I also haven't gained any weight. I don't experience any side effects other than vaginal dryness and uncomfortable sex. I am married and sex is kind of important so I am thinking about switching."


"I was taking YAZ before for over a year. I stopped to try Seasonique. I loved getting my period every three months. But I had unbearable cramps and a cyst that would not shrink in size that was awful! My doctor wanted me to try Ortho Tri cyclen, which I hated before, but I tried it for 2 months. I just stated a new pack of YAZ after seeing my doctor. I never had a decrease in my sex drive or weight gain before. I was very comfortable with it."


"Took this for seasonal depression and after a couple days my mood was a lot better. After a couple of days I actually felt what I thought was euphoria until it leveled out to normal."


"I got on these pills mainly due to the fact that my partner and I are highly sexually active. As of lately not much due to these pills making me moody as well as of course I would get one of the rare side effects. I have vaginal dryness, I have no period which makes me sketched out and my libido is low. This pill just isn't for me I couldn't make it past the one month mark. I feel like I should have shopped out more options on the pill side."


"I haven't had the Mirena for very long, about 4 months. The first two months I bleed a normal period the whole time. I guess it's kind of normal until your body gets use to the hormones in the Mirena which I guess takes about 3 months. but my doctor put me on a medicine to help slow down the bleeding which stopped my bleeding completely until a few days ago I got my first period and its so light! I don't even notice it until I go to the bathroom and even then its still hard to see because its so faint. LOVING IT! Other then that no other side effects. Weight is the same and I've always been a little moody so that's never changed. So to anyone who may have been freaking out about bleeding I hope this helps you."


"I was on this medicine for about a year. I had weird side effects. But then I developed blood clots in my lungs (pulmonary emboli) that almost killed me. Dr's think that it was this pill that caused it.  I now have lung damage."


"I have been suffering with outrageous anxiety and depression of and on for years. I have tried zoloft and used xanax until it didn't work anymore. I was just about to give up and felt like I was losing my mind when I was prescribed Wellburtrin XL 300mg only in the generic. I had taken it for two months and felt NOTHING. I was desperate. Then a friend who also uses it said to switch to the name brand. I kept reading how after 3 days you feel different, and I DID TOO! I hope this continues because I am feeling so much more relaxed and more like myself. I have stress, but it is not burying me and throwing me into panic. Listen, the generic does not work at all. You have to get the name brand! Hope this helps someone."


"Got it inserted (whitch pinched but didnt really hurt. Did get very light headed) the beginning of may. Its now august and still bleeding followed by smelly odor. Check out and they said things r fine. Ontop of the bleedig and oder ive had hair loss and brusing out of nowhere. Trying to hang in until the full 3 months. Im hoping this will go away as i have tried other methods that i cant keep up with (pills, condoms ect)"


"Impossible to open. Don't buy it."


"Was prescribed hydroxyzine originally by a doctor who saw me in an ER for a panic attack. Since taking hydroxyzine everything has gotten worse. Even though I've stopped taking it, I'm still not back to where I was. Since taking hydroxyzine, I've hit an a new low & I'm having trouble coming back from it. While on hydroxyzine I thought I was going insane. Seeing things, hearing voices telling me to kill myself, paranoid to the point that I felt like people were following me & out to get me, started smoking, barely slept & always felt like a ticking time bomb. Quit my job outta nowhere because I couldn't handle anymore stress, getting outta bed every day was too hard. This medicine is horrible. Wouldn't recommend to anyone with depression/anxi"


"My boyfriend got me on Drixoral. It's the only thing that works with my family when the cold season comes around!  My whole family loves it!  Why did they discontinue it and I'm praying that the company that makes it will definitley bring it back!"


"I've been taking this for four years, and it barely takes the edge off for me.  I wish there was something else, but this is pretty much it after all the others stopped working, too.  "


"I have an itching around my nose, my nose, and forehead around the top of my eyes."


"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. "


"I get flare ups of gout, almost always in the largest toe joint sometimes often, and then not for months.  But I ALWAYS have an 11 pill series of Colcrys with me.  I don't travel ANYWHERE without it and my indomethicin.  4 pills the 1st day, then one a day for 7 days.  The pain is better after the 1st pill, less the second day and usually I can put a shoe on, walk and drive on day 3.

I suffered for years before I found out about colcrys, and spent many attacks in horrible pain, in the military, where all I could do was lace up my combat boots and soldier on.  I tried the "home remedies" with NO relief."


"The medicine seems to be working, although the side effects seem to make you feel even more sick than you were to begin with. Once you get through the first few days it is worth it. I agree that the packaging is far too difficult to figure out at first."


"I have been taking 30 mg once daily for the last month. It's definitely doing something. I've broken out everywhere and I mean everywhere. Huge, gross, cystic and nodular pimple. BUT my dermatologist said that it has to get better before it gets worse. Where my skin isn't being overran by grossness you can tell that it is clearing up and looking healthier. Tomorrow I will start my new dosage of 40 mg twice daily(the first month you start with 30 a day and then after that my dermo said they figure it out with your body weight) Side effects: pretty bad chapped lips, dry wrists and arms, also always in the bathroom cause I've been drink between a gallon and half to two gallons of water a day."


"I think I had every possible side effect there was to have with this birth control. I gave this method several attempts and still FAIL. I had rashes wherever I put it, skin discoloration, constant yeast infections (no matter the placement), headaches, nausea, it kept coming off, bloating. The one good thing I can say about it is (no babies). Good luck, everyone is different."


"Mx it with Tang, it makes it much easier to drink. All you get is tang and a little grittiness. I am experiencing an inability to overeat and some resultant weight loss. i have been on it for about a month."


"I started cymbalta at 24 and I'm now 32... I changed to them after I had my first born but from 18 years old I was on Luvox!

Yes first year or so I felt the cymbalta helped me a lot. More then the Luvox ever did. But for about a while now I really have noticed the bad things.... I get a migraine if i haven't taken one by 6pm. I get snappy and angry if I just miss one day... Last yr i Kept forgetting to take my scripted into get filled. After a few days I was yelling and crying and dug myself in a hole! I couldn't get out of bed the war in my head was so bad! My fam even called doctors on me because they were that worried.... The doctors advice was to go back on my cymbalta and start councelling! I want to change it but I hate it!"


"I do not reccomended this AT ALL. Within a week of taking this, I started hallucinating and I got really bad akethesia. I was up for 3 days seeing things, hearing thinks, and I was even having tactile hallucinations. Most horrible experience I've ever had."


"Have been using the 6MG patch for 4 weeks now with absolutely no results. No side effects. No skin irritation. Nothing. Doctor says I should be patient and wait till the 6 week point where it might finally kick in. If it doesn't we will go to the higher dosage. Probably just double it to the 12MG patch. Not looking forward to the dietary restrictions but it's a trade off I'm willing to take for relief from 30+ years of despair."


"I've been using 5/160 for 3 months and so far they've worked for my high blood pressure with no side effects."


"I have been taking these pills for 90 days now and have not stopped smoking or even slow down at all. I don't understand how everyone can be on the same milligram. Not sure if I should continue with this program still smoking two two or  two and a half packs a day. Has anyone else went through this then had some success."


"After trying several insulin types of medicines which caused severe itching, I was put on Novolog 70/30. At first there were no side effects, then dizziness started to occur and its getting worse, my ankles are starting to swell and I am putting on weight. I'm at my wits end.  Novolog is very convenient to use, but unfortunately now I have to go back to doctor and start a new medication and go through trial and error with a new medication which can also be very costly."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir

"Started Stribild January 2014. CD4 was 900, viral load 16000 at time I started. After 20 days I had bloods done to check how it was working including liver, kidney function tests and bone density test. Results where outstanding. After just 20 days CD4 was 1200 and viral load undetectable. Kidney and liver working normal and bone density normal. I take it in the morning with food. In the first week I suffered very slight side effects, loose stool and slight dizziness within two hours of taking it. Now feel no side effects at all. In fact feel like I have a lot more energy.  I recommend this medicine it works really well."


"I suffer from chronic constipation, mainly due to the side effects of medications I take to control pain from RRMS (Opana and Norco), and probably the MS itself. I am so sick of the nightly stomach pains, "sitting sessions" and nothing comes out, avoiding vacations due to "single" bathroom situation, non stop talking about it, and the effect it has on my sex life.  My neuro seems hesitant to Rx Amitiza, and tells me to use Miralax, which does not work that well.  Tried adding Magnesium Oxide, but gave me cramps and bad diarrhea for 3 days (a bit of a purging session if you will), of course followed by constipation again.  I drink a gallon of H2O a day, and just sick and tired of dealing with this, it this med that good ?"


"I got my implant on October 1, 2015, when I was 17. Today's date is May 4th, so I've had it in for about seven months. I very lightly spotted for the first time a few weeks ago, but I think that was just because I was spending a lot of time with other girls who were on their periods (I have a long and annoying history of syncing periods). Other than that, I haven't bled at all. I haven't gained weight. I'll get the occasional pimple once every few months, but that's usually how it goes for me, I don't get acne anyways. The only thing I could complain about is headaches and mood swings. I'm a very emotional person normally, but for the past seven months it's been significantly worse. Reading these other reviews, I guess I got pretty lucky."


"I would recommend this pill to anyone! I started taking adipex 37.5 mg only last week, and i am already down 15 lbs. thats crazy! It doesnt make me want to eat i actually have to remind myself sometimes to eat. And i was always the girl with food in her hand. I havent done much excersise just walking on nature trails. Bit for anyone wondering if it actually works, the answer is yes!"


"I have been on Plaquenil, methotrexate and several other medicines since I was diagnosed with RA 10 years ago. Nothing seemed to work, had trouble just brushing teeth, brushing hair and the smallest task. Then 3 months ago they put me on Enbrel and boy what a big difference it made. Now I have my life back."


"Had mierna for about 6 months. Was told that it would help my cysts disappear and it had little to no side effects. It was a great thing being that i got pregant with my son while on the pill. This was 5 years, check string, no periods, and all that. Well starting 2 months after having it in which would be july 2015 i started experiencing pain in my lower abdomen, back and my left leg/foot. It wasnt bad then every month from july 2015 until this month nov 2015 i was in more and more pain. No doctor could explain why. Finally decided to have it removed a few days ago. Best decision i made because the same day i started feeling better. All the pain was going away or gone. It's a good form of birth control but isnt for every women."


"After suffering with years of moderate depression I finally decided to do something about it.  I have been on Wellbutrin for  6 days now.  I started on 150mg SR for the first 3 days and now on 150mg SR twice a day.  I kid you not, after day 3 I felt like a different person.  It was the first time in years that my first thought when I woke up wasn`t ``I wish I was dead``..  I was drinking quite a bit before taking Wellbutrin and have not had a drop since starting it, nor do I have any desire.  I am hoping that the stop smoking aspect kicks in soon, hasn`t yet!  My only complaint are the vivid dreams.  Night terrors actually. they wake me up, but I am able to fall asleep again after.  small price to pay!"


"I have been using the Nuva-ring for about 5 years. I used the Nuva-Ring because I would forget to take the pill. At first things were awesome because I would insert it in and leave it in for 3 weeks. Well over time my moods got weirder and weirder. I'm starting new birth control next month. I'm tired of having bad moods and being sick all the time. I'm not saying I don't recommend it but I know it's not for me anymore."


"I had the Nexplanon implant inserted in November of 2012, and had it recently taken out and a new one put back in. I have nothing but great things to say about it! I haven't gained weight, lost sex drive, or had a drastic change in moods/emotions. I can certainly say it effects everyone differently, just like every other birth control, but it's definitely worth a shot!!"


"I was hesitant to try this but I really didn't want to have a hysterectomy. I've already had one ovary/tube out due to my endometriosis. I was recently diagnosed with also have adenomyosis now. It was Depo-Provera, Lupron or a hysterectomy. I read so many terrible reviews that it had me nervous but I tried it anyway. I've gained a few pounds but am also 45 and lazy so that may be the more likely culprit. My acne is actually gone. I've had no endometrosis symptoms. My hair is slightly thicker. For me it's been a miracle. We're hoping to be able to have these results until menopause hits."


"The first week I had some very brief agitation (day 4) that lasted for about 30 minutes.  By the end of the first week, my cravings were nearly gone.  I am down to only 1 to 3 uses per day, which is a major reduction for me.  I plan to be completely done by day 20.    No other side effects.  Not feeling any nicotine withdrawal symptoms.  I plan to use the Wellbutrin full strength for 1-2 weeks after quitting entirely and then begin the taper process.    Amazing product."


"Took the medication for 2 months loss about 12lbs than all my liver enzymes went up had to stop"


"I'm on my 9th day of the pill and feel depressed and have been crying non stop.  I had to call in to work because of this. I have gained 6lbs in the last 9 days and have no sex drive. I have been bleeding for 9 days now and there are no signs of that letting up any time soon. This is severely atypical for me.  I am usually the happiest person you will meet and now I can't stop crying."


"If Nafcillin was not available I would not be here today.  Yes, I had diarrhea sometimes, but did not outweigh the benefits of the antibiotic."


"I am a new user of Nuvigil 150mg, so far I have experienced more energy, less sleepy moments. "


"The best BC out there. 2nd time getting it and it's still being good to me. It actually has gotten my sex drive up. No side effects. Only thing is I can't predict when is my next period so my husband assumes I'm pregnant, but when it does come I only spot for a few days."


"Was prescribed a paxil and wellbutrin combo twelve years ago, and the effects fell away over time. Dr kept wellbutrin, dropped paxil, and replaced paxil with a series of meds that increased anxiety, made concentration super hard, and I felt constantly nauseous. Starting tomorrow on only wellbutrin xr. I'll report back. I really need to feel better."


"At first I felt OK with taking this medication. I took 1 pill in the morning for a week and then 2 pills a day. 4 days into 2 pills a day I had to stop. I was experiencing blurry vision, lightheaded, mood swings/anger, extremely vivid thoughts and dreams to the point of not sleeping. This was not the medication for me. Very scary. Please consider the side effects before taking."


"I promised myself that i would come back and right a review as I was on here for days and days reading these to try and ease my mind. I had unprotected sex on April 7th and the morning of April 8th ( about 12 hours after) I took plan-b. I was freaking out because I wasn't on birth control, and we didn't use a condom. BAD IDEA!! Don't use the pull out method! My expected period is supposed to come around April 20th-22nd. Its April 15th and I started bleeding yesterday, it was quite light. But then last night it got really heavy. A little heavier then my normal period and was experiencing some cramps and a headache. But as we all know that the Plan-b can make your period come early or late. This definitely has to be my period!! Breathe ladies"


"After receiving the medicine by the medic the only side effect I experience was a very warm sensation over my body that lasted about 1 1/2 hours that was it. I thank goodness for this medicine it truly saved my life."


"I just got my Skyla IUD put in an hour ago, so my review will be on insertion. I'm 23, never had children, and have been struggling to find an birth control option that works for me.

Like most of you reading this, I was scared of IUD insertion due to the horror stories I've read in reviews. Honestly I felt a light flutter of a cramp and it was done. No pain at all. Then again, I have REALLY heavy periods and deal with terrible cramps all the time, so for me it was nothing.

My doctor also numbed my cervix with some aerosol stuff, called Hurricane? That may have helped. I also took 500mg of Naproxen 30 minutes before the procedure, and was taking deep calm breaths the whole time. I feel great right now, no complaints!"


"I have been taking temazepam off and on for years. Tried Ambien too. Ambien knocks me out right away, but I can only sleep for about 4 hours on it. Temazepam takes a little longer maybe an hour and I need to stay relaxed. Makes me feel a little dopey, but I sleep all night. No ill effects the next day. No rebound effects the next day. Only take twice a week at most for best results. Take a couple of months vacation from it every few months."


"I have PCOS I thought I was the only one experiencing issues with this pill. Since Lomedia was discontinued I've been using this and it's absolutely horrible. The first 2 months I used it , it was great. My PCOS is very difficult to deal with seeing how I'm always on my menstrual and w/o birth control it will not stop , so technically I rely on this for regularity in my life but its been causing havoc. My menstrual comes every other week , I'm always bloated , my mood swings are unbearable that my friendships and relationships are being affected by it my work performance is horrible as well seeing how I'm always tired and irritable and my sex life, forget about it. I get turned off when with just a touch on my wrist , this PILL is a NO"


"Very good"


"Only medication that works for me along with Buspar. I have been suicidal, etc. before being put on Viibryd."


"My first treatment was with incevic and it almost killed me. Massive weight loss and a blood transfusion. 2 years later went on sovaldi no measurable side effects a pleasant experience and not positive in 4 years"


"I'm 37 started 10 mg of it last night. I have five herniated discs, had some head trauma, I have chronic nerve damage, pinched nerves  horrible migraines dark spots in my brain. Last night I slept like a baby for the first time in forever. I was given this medication by my Neurologist a few weeks ago and have been extremely hesitant to take it. I feel a little different like I have more focus. Hopefully this will continue to help me with my healing. I still have pain though but only took this once so probably haven't been on it long enough to notice a huge difference. This morning I feel more focused "


"I lost 46 pounds. I went from a size 20 to size 14 and then my dr put my on this.  I mentioned I had extreme irritability-like I have zero patience for any and everyone!

My Dr. told me it wasn't relevant but after reading other reviews I know I'm not alone. It hasn't helped me lose any weight.  It costs me $142 a month for hopes wishes and dreams.  This is crazy.  I don't like taking a drug for seizures when I have no problems with that.  I'm seeking a second opinion and hoping I can get phentermine for 3 months and be done with this.

It really is the worst feeling to be so angry and irritated and pissed off with everyone when I'm the one doing this to myself all in the hopes to lose 20 more pounds.  Ugh!!!"


"Taking for 2 mths. I have had some side effects...in the beginning just overall weird feeling, exhaustion, wake up feeling like I hadn't slept, dry mouth, headaches, at the one month mark I started getting bad indigestion (now I take an acid reducer pill and half glass of milk). But they almost all have gone away and now I feel great! The anger, the negative thinking, the impulsive verbal reactions, the depression, the anxiety...all gone. This was hugely affecting my relationship (he almost walked away) and work life too. My relationship is now in the best place ever and I am happy going in to work. The little things do not bother me like they did before. I do not have blunted feelings and I have not lost my sex drive! Hang in there!"


"I was on Ortho Tri-cylcen Lo for a few years. I decided to change it up and try Yaz and this made me insane. I had horrible mood swings, I was depressed, I didn't have any interest in my job or friends, and I just wanted to die. My boyfriend made me switch back to Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and I was back to normal. It was an awful experience, and its disturbing how something can change you so drastically. I know other people who are perfectly fine on Yaz, but it did not agree with me at all. I think it was just too much hormones for me. Every body is different."


"The dosage of 160/4.5 makes me very, very nervous."


"I have been on it for 4 months now. It was okay at first then I realized I was having mood swings. I have NO sex drive whatsoever. Annoying vaginal dryness when I do and it hurts. I also have yeast infections right before my period for the past 2 months which I never had before in my life. Nothing has changed so I think the pill is to blame. My period is also a little unpredictable but very light. My skin hasn't gotten better but a little worse. Not much weight gain though. It's okay but just not the right one for me. But I didn't get pregnant so that's great!"


"I got the paraguard for the first time in 2009 after I had my first child and I loved it!! I had it removed in 2013 when we planned for our second child, after my daughter was born I had another paraguard put back and I still love it!! I've never experienced any sort of problems with the Para guard and I've had it a total of more than 5 years."


"I used this in conjunction with Clenia. It worked great for about a year and now doesn't seem to do anything."


"Works great.  No allergy symptoms, no side effect, and it decongests me too."


"Been taking Saxenda for 2 weeks and am on 1.8mg, going up to 2.4 today. Down 5 pounds! Goal is to lose 30 more. It has greatly reduced my appetite and any cravings. Few side effects: dehydrated, vomited once, nauseous here and there. I inject in the evening. Bought needles quite I expensively off Amazon. My insurance won't pay for it so I ordered it from a reputable Canadian pharmacy. I have hypothyroidism and am menopausal so losing wt is very hard. I have high hopes Saxenda will work for me!"


"My son was diagnosed with ADHD about 6 months ago,he is 7 years old, this medicine Works great. He's not zombified. Helps him to really focus and helps with school. Only side effect I noticed is he doesn't have a appetite and it wears off about 4pm and he eats like crazy then. No mood swings. Very satisfied with this medication."


"This drug should be pulled and not used I took this as prescribed to dry up breast milk and by the second day  I could feel my brain throbbing after fighting all day to try to make my head not explode I call my dr was told to get to the ER asap the next thing I can remember was my husband asking if that was me laying there ( all the blood vessels had broke in my face and eyes ) then I woke up 3 weeks later and have a 3 week old baby that didn't know me and I didn't know him that was in 1992 and have had blood pressure problem every since I can't believe thes medicine is still on the market please beware of what this drug can do"


"I was on Junel FE 1/20 for almost 3 years mainly to treat my Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and for birth control. I took it consistently and I never got pregnant during this time and my cysts did get smaller. I also noticed that I gradually got less acne to the point where I only have 1 or 2 breakouts per month now (but I had acne before I even started the pill). My breasts grew 1 cup bigger for the first 2 years. However, after the 1st year, I noticed that my periods became very light and I would miss my periods for consecutive months. I noticed that my breasts went back to its original size during the third year. Also, I lost my sex drive in the third year due to dryness in my vagina, so I decided to switch."


"I had my first depo shot november 25 2015, I was good for a week with no bleeding, I was suppose to go get my 2nd shot 25 feb 2016 but decided not too as I bled & still am bleeding today 13.03.2016, cramps are really bad clots are bad, I wish I had never had this shot. The doctor doesn't tell you that this could happen for months on end if they did I guess most of us would have thought twice about having it. I am full of regrets & I'm more depressed than I was before. I hate the bleeding it makes me feel disgusting & dirty as its never ending on a daily basis. My mood swings are at what i would call a dangerous level. I so would suggest that women thinking this is the best contraceptive out there, too think twice & read what has happened to us"


"I have been taking Dexilant for over a year now.  I had many of these symptoms for a few months with the gas and bloating, but after a few months of taking it that has all gone away. I did not have diarrhea or vomiting, but some constipation. I am wonderful everyday now unless I don't take it even one day and then I am miserable again with the heartburn. "


"For those of you like myself that could not afford it go through the manufacturer  and you may qualify to get it free. They have been a life saver for me."


"This prep was terrible with suprep  bowel prep. I have colon cancer that runs in my family history and take colonoscopies seriously as a preventative measure.  However, I would not prep again using this stuff and would insist on going back to the old method with gatoraid and over the counter laxatives.  Super bowl prep tasted disgusting and salty even when mixed with crystal light.  And I started at 5pm and it took till 11pm for it to finally kick in.  I felt bloated and nauseous and wanting to throw up until 11pm.  Due to how long it took to kick in I was up literally all night going to the bathroom.  So I got no sleep.  I wasn't finished till about 8pm the next morning.  The old method is definitely more kind to your system and works faster."


"I will not ever take this medication again (Generic form of Bactrim DS). I landed in the ER with a severe kidney infection... was given antibiotics, nausea medication, and pain medication through an IV. went home six hours later and started the Bactrim that night. I woke up at 2am absolutely drenched head to toe in sweat, with chills... couldn't  fall back asleep. The next day I had the worst headache... terrible, terrible pain in the base of my skull, and a horribly stiff and sore neck. Any time I stood up I could feel my blood pressure in my head sore, just throbbing. I had zero appetite. I stopped the Rx after 2.5 days. I felt worse after I started the Rx than before it. Never, ever again."


"I have been on Harvoni for 4 weeks. It's cleared my psoriasis up. I was covered with it. I also have lost weight Headaches,  fatigue. Nausea. This is helping me with better than anything thing else I have tried. I have been waiting a long time for this."


"I went off Viibyrd & started Brintellix 10mg. I was having severe headaches &

my brain was foggy so I asked my doctor if I could drop down to 5mg. That seemed to be much better, but then I asked to take it at night and not in the AM......That was the trick, take at bedtime, I sleep well all night and have energy when I get up. I'm thankful I have good insurance, but it is very very

expensive. I was just told it'll be this expensive for 7 -10 years so the company can recoup their money, then we can buy the generic....Just not until Brintellix gets their money back. That's so sad !!!! If you ask your doctor, he can give you a coupon saving you $30.00 a month for the first year which helps. I also had side effects, but their tapering finally."


"I love Implanon. At first I was skeptical because of all the bad reviews plus I have a terrible fear of shots and I hate pain. Well to be very clear it didn't hurt at all. I was surprised. I was previously on the Nuvaring and I hated it because it kept giving me urinary tract infections and I can't keep up with the pills so that's why I decided to do Implanon. I haven't had any irregular bleeding yet or actually I haven't bled any at all and I've been on it for little over a month. No side effects yet and I'm glad I'm covered for three years. Hope this review helps someone else."


"I have been on Belviq for 1 month.  The first day I was extremely tired and weak.  No other symptoms!  I have lost 5 lbs this month.  I take 10mg belviq 2x a day have been taking 30 mg of phentermine in the middle of the day last few weeks.  Prior to this i was on phentermine 37.5 mg twice a day and was able to lose and keep off about 30 lbs.  You still have to work at it to lose weight with this drug, it just makes things a little easier.  Within the first few days I could tell I was eating smaller portions and getting full fast. I have 15 pounds to lose to get to my goal weight so my weight loss is slower than someone with more to lose.  Usually I will lose 1-2 per month so I am very happy with 5 lbs!  It is expensive but its worth a try."


"I've never had kids but after bad side affect after 5 yr pill usage I wanted hormone free. First MD said no. Then went to Planned Parenthood (they tell insurance ) and they were very accomodating. They informed me fully first
. Get in stirrups, they clean cervix with wipes (painless ) then they stick something to open cervix. Not painless but bearable. Isolated pain like one bad menstrual cramp kinda takes breath away, but more of a physical reaction as opposed to bc of pain. She stuck the IUD in, I felt lightheaded and nauseated so she put my feet up and gave me a cool rag. After 5 minutes I left. Just did it today and having period like cramping but I'll be ok. Just laying down. So far so good."


"I've tried Viagra and found it worked pretty well, I had some side effects namely heart burn and headaches so thought I'd try Cialis to see if I suffered from the same effects. I started off by taking 10mg of Cialis and after an hour I had a slight stirring in the loins but that was about it, so took the remainder of the dosage (10mg) and it helped slightly but was still less that I would normally get without any medication, very disappointed and to top it all I've had heart burn most of the following day. I bought a pack of 8 costing a reasonable amount to add to the situation.  Guess it works for some and not others."


"Woke up about an hour after insertion with intense burning and itching! Had to wipe off as much as possible for some relief. Now just stinging but can't sleep. I would not use this product again!"


"DO NOT TAKE THIS!!! I've been losing weight and trying to tweak my meal plan but I sometimes don't get enough fiber and then become constipated. I took a single dulcolax before bed and woke up around 11:30 in extreme pain. I went to the bathroom and had a BM but immediately after I got so warm. I sat on the bathroom floor thinking I was going to die. I then proceeded to vomit. I will never take this again."


"I have suffered from erectile dysfunction since I was 16!  I snapped the blood vessels in the base of my penis.  I began using Muse (suppositories you place in your urethra).  Then Viagra was approved.  So, I have been using Viagra for 16 years, I tried Levitra and Cialis when they were available, but they didn't work as well as Viagra.  I got a prescription for Stendra last week and tried it today.  I didn't get the pressure in my head like I do with Viagra, and also I didn't get the blueish tint to everything.  However, it doesn't work as well as Viagra.  My erections would come and go.  I guess everyone is different!  I was hoping it would work as well as Viagra without the side effects.  I guess I will stick to my little blue pill!"


"I wasn't near as nervous as I shouldve been before the insertion of Skyla. My doctor said that in some cases your uterus can be pointed a different direction which affects the ease of the insertion, which was my case. Im not sure if this was the reason for my pain but I have never cramped this badly. After having it removed I nearly passed out. I can normally tolerate pain but I've never hurt as bad as I did following the insertion. My cramps were nearly unbearable. I would go through spells that feel how that of contractions would. The cramping eased off after 2 days but it wasnt the end. I'm on my 5th week and although Im not bleeding anymore (I was previously on Depo which made me bleed a consistent 3 1/2 months) It occasionaly cramps."


"I have a very light abnormal bleeding after intercourse and was prescribed Nora be, I was so scared of taking this due to the fact that I've taken the patch, the shot and the combo pill and they all sucked, they all caused weight gain, hair loss and moodiness and my period lasted FOREVER.  So I expected no less from this pill.  But to my surprise my period stopped when it was supposed too, no bloat, weight gain or hair loss so far.  Guess my body doesn't agree with extra estrogen so  protestrian  it is.  If you have a bad experience with all these estrogen bc's I suggest giving this a try.  Only thing I hate about it is taking it everyday at the same time but dealing with that rather then the estrogen side effect is minor."


"Works extremely well for my fibromyalgia pain."


"I've been taking tri-sprintec for about 5 years. It stared when I was 15, and the first few months my face had acne absolutely everywhere; the acne lasted about 3 months.
 Some of the side effects did occur to me such as anxiety, mood swings.. but the most important fact is that I have not gotten pregnant, and the pill is easily affordable.. so that's why I keep using it."


"I am finishing up my final month on Claravis, the first two months I have to say were the worst. I broke out so bad that every time I smiled I felt nothing but throbbing pain all over my face. Now my face has started to clear but slowly. I have dark spots, and redness all over my face plus some blackheads to go along with it. I don't breakout as bad as I did back in month 2. Hopefully I will be able to see a clear future. "


"I had left S I joint pain for 8 yrs been to a million drs, tried a million remedies. But my dr put me on Cymbalta. A few days later I ended up in ER with excruciating pain. But when they added a shot of Lorazepam the pain I'd had for years went away. For 9 months, with the combo of Cymbalta 60mg and Lorazapam 2 mg I was completely pain free, but after 9 months the effectiveness has waned. I still take both meds to take the edge off the pain but nothing else really works. Except when I was told I had Fibromyalgia and night sweats and I found out those are caused by LYME DISEASE. Luckily I found a LYME LITERATE DR who is treating me."


"I been using tretinoin 1%  for 2 weeks now, acne prone skin applying only at night with my favorite night cream. Yes my face peeled ALOT only for few days till my skin got used to it but might I say oooh my gosh what difference! Be patient it really works..keep applying your favorite cream in between to keep skin moist. Peeling will stop after first few days, my skin peeled so much but loved results. Remember peeling skin means new healthy skin! "


"I had Nexplanon inserted 6 weeks postpartum. The insertion was easy pretty painless and it only bruised for a couple of days. I've only had it for 4 months the first month I had a pretty heavy period it lasted for 6 days but it was bearable. I haven't had a cycle since that first month though. I have noticed a little weight gain but not a lot. What I would say is the most annoying is that around the time I should get my period I'm very annoyed and have pretty bad headaches and my arm itches like crazy where the rod is inserted other than that I've had no complaints."


"I started on 1 mg for a couple of days, then 2 mg for a couple of days. I was on 4 meg only 4 days and 8 meg for just two. At that point, I was so dizzy I could barely drive. I was actually getting motion sickness as a driver, and I drive probably 25,000 miles a year. I could actually feel my prostate shrink, but had some horrible side-effects. My semen dried up to nothing, and as far as ejaculating during sex--forget it. I took the drug only a total of two weeks, and I've been off it for 10 days, and still can't get an erection. Fortunately, the dizziness cleared up after about 3-4 days after stopping. I can't find any documentation at all to show how long the drug persists in the average person."


"I have been taking Prozac (fluoxetine) for about a month now. I'm 15 and I am taking it for anxiety disorder and depression. So far it has been working. I have not been at all depressed for a while. It took about a week and a half for it to start making a difference. I noticed that I'm more calm when it comes to stress. I like it. I'm taking 10mg at the moment. The only complaint I have about it, is that I have noticed an increase in appetite, which I hate."


"I started using epiduo and I suffered really badly at school and now it has all disappeared and I get the occasional spot but thats when I eat unhealthily"


"Out of all the birth control pills, this one is best!  Gained some weight in the "right" spots :)  Less PMS, if any @ all, lighter periods/flow.  And this pill is safe enough to take for 3 consecutive months, so you can have your period only 4 times a year!!!  That's so AWESOME!"


"I have peripheral neuropathy, my arms, hands, legs and feet are all affected, my legs and feet get ice cold. I have been taking Neurontin for 4 years now. For me it's not working I was taking 1800 mg a day. I had to call the doctor the other day the pain was so bad and he changed my dose to a higher 1800 mg a day. It's been 3 days and the pain level has not changed."


"I have had good results with Reclast, for osteoporosis.  I've had 3 infusions, in three years.  I am scheduled to have my 4th, this May. I have had no fractures during this time.  I have had flu-like side-effects, that lasted 1-3 days, each time I've had my infusions.  However, if you have them infuse the Reclast slower, over 30 minutes vs. 15 minutes, and you get well hydrated before, and stay hydrated well after, it will help.  There is currently a warning letter out in Canada, sent by Novartis, regarding Reclast causing serious Kidney issues, a few leading to kidney failure, dialysis, and even death.  Our FDA has not responded to this.  Make sure you have your Kidney Doctor's blessing, before you take Reclast.  I see mine next week."


"My boyfriend and I had a drunkem night of sex (oops) and I took this as soon as I got up and out of the house in the morning. My period did not come immediately, but it did!!! And a very painful one. Aftera works like a charm! Same active ingredients as plan b."


"I had endoscopy  Thanks Goodness its not an ulcer or H.pylori. Since diagnosed with mild gastritis but then doctor gave me Dexilant, domperidone and Gaviscon . Its compulsory to take Dexilant everyday for 2 weeks , but then I had nausea all day, diarrhea 3-4 times a day, my body getting weak and no appetite, its getting worse in the office due to the side effect . After 10 days , I stopped. I could not take it anymore although nurse asking me to continue it. The day after, I could eat without having nausea anymore, I don't even need to go bathroom every time everyday. If you experience same thing like me, STOP it because your body has rejected and caused weak, body aches and cramps, nausea diarrhea. Trust me"


"I was on Loryna for two months. I'm was a pretty mellow person before that I got the occasional mood swing that gave me whip lash and frequent hot flashes (which don't happen to a lot of people). Plus I was very dry in sex. Overall it was okay. I'm a happy camper when there's no cramps. Then started Gianvi a month ago.  NO MOOD SWINGS or hot flashes. And no dryness. The only down side is every once in a while I lose me appetite. This works for me."


"I was on the Vivelle-dot for about 8 years. It took away all the unpleasantness of menopause: the insomnia, the crying, the hot flashes, the dizziness, the panic attacks. And I had absolutely no side effects. Life was great. Then, I stupidly tried to use something different in order to save money (the estradiol pill) and all the menopause horrors came back, along with new ones (nausea, acid reflux, non-stop migraines. I went back on the Vivelle-dot and felt so much better. Financially, it is a bit expensive, but I switched to the generic by Sandoz and it effects me the same as vivelle-dot. Pure bliss."


"Cymbalta has given me my life back. I finally feel like me again. The loving, caring, free-spirited person I had forgotten about. I can finally function, which is so important to me. I am getting a 4.0 in college. I feel like a walking miracle! I can't believe where I am today; that a pill could literally save my life. I was so close to suicide, so violent, and so depressed. I wanted to die. I'm FINALLY HAPPY!

It's sad that Cymbalta has low reviews from people withdrawing from it. I'm sure it's difficult. But does that take away from how much it helps!? I might be on it the rest of my life, who knows? "


"After the removal of a tumour and bone graft surgery I suffered from debilitating pain that occurred at night which ultimately kept me from sleeping.  For years, me and the doctors searched for the source of the pain but they could not find a reason and I was told to live with it.  This year I was suggested Cymbalta because my doctor had said it was working as a pain reliever for other patients.  I was willing to try anything to rid the pain and After about 3 weeks I noticed a dramatic decrease in my pain.  After a few months I am practically pain free. For those who deal with chronic pain on a daily basis this is best thing that could happen.  I never thought anything would help, Cymbalta has given me my life back."


"Have been smoking for 38 years my cigarette intake had crept up to 15-20. I've never really thought about stopping but had a medical scare and thought right that's it ! Started Champix 7 days ago, I am truly amazed they are magic, I actually stopped smoking on day 5 not even wanting one no cravings. It's as if I have never smoked at all I just can't explain it. I would say the only side effect I've had is constipation. If you have any doubt about this medication don't they actually work. Amazing."


"After not seeing my boyfriend after three days, well let's just say the night got hot and heated. In the midst of things the condom broke right after he had finished. Instantly every moment before and thereafter had been ruined.  Instantly we moved quickly into action, that is --rushing to our local pharmacy. The pill cost about $50.  After 30-45 minutes of the condom breaking, I took the pill.  I was extremely nervous because I had just finished ovulating a week prior to this happening and just knew I was extremely fertile by this time.  My period was scheduled to start just four days later.  After taking the pill, the next day I experienced constant hot flashes and at times nausea. My period started on time! Thanks Plan B!"


"Works everytime.  The only drawback is that if  you don't hit the proper insertion point it's a waste of medication.  It's not always available at many local pharmacies.  Otherwise I love it and my partner loves it too."


"Methadone has once again helped me get clean for almost a year. I detoxed off of it 12 years ago & yes it was tough but possible.  Take it nice and slow when detoxing and consider a blind detox so you cant convince yourself your feeling a drop in your dose. If you can afford Suboxone I would suggest that over Methadone for easier detox."


"I can't believe how crazy I feel.  I just inserted day 3 thinking it has to get better and I'm on Fire!!  The burning and constant itching is almost unbearable!  I had to take benadryl every night to"knock me out" because I was so miserable"


"This medication gave me back my life. I take 75mg twice daily of the XR and for me it's the perfect dosage. I wake up every day feeling hopeful and great. I used to suffer horribly with stress and anxiety it was crippling. Thank goodness for this medication cause other meds didn't help but this medication did."


"My daughter (11 years old) had been on Vyvanse, but was still struggling and experiencing excellerated heart rate.  She was not eatting, not sleeping, and losing weight.  Greatful for the medication, but side effects were starting to be a problem.  Doctor added Intuniv 2mg on top of Vyvanse and it was great.  Seemed to offset all the negative caused by Vyvanse."


"Diagnosed a year ago. The tegratol helps with the pain massively, reducing it to more of and ache. My g.p has me on a step up and and step down routine so I'm not in them long term. It's working for me at the moment"


"This is the first time I have taken Chantix and the first time I have really given an effort to stop smoking and it is working great for me. Not only have I not smoked since my chosen date to stop but I haven't had any side effects except if I don't take it with food I get nausea. I definitely think if you want to stop smoking this is the most effective way than any other."


"I read a lot of reviews and here's what worked for me - 3 days ahead I ate a low fiber diet, cut my calories in almost half and drank lots of water. The day before I had a slight hunger headache but managed ok on the liquid diet. I drank my first "cocktail" at 6pm, topping it off with a splash of gingerale. I forgot the straw but put a bit of Anbusol on my tongue (which was icky tasting.) I didn't find it horrible just was aware that it's a different consistency than pure water. I brushed my teeth and took about 40 minutes to drink the 32 ounces of water. Things got going 50 min later, for about 2 hours. No cramping, gentle elimination, just chills from all the cold liquid so am sipping tea now. I start again at 3:30am. Good luck!"


"It has smoothed and cleared my face. It works like magic because now its about a month and all my worries are gone. "


"Other than slight restlessness no real side effects, my slight weight gain is likley to be from  Boredom hunger. I'm not as flippant and feel a little more levelled. No real change in ppl following me other than it bothers me less. I suspect I'm also receiving a placebo at times."


"The medication has been somewhat helpful with stiffness but the pain is still present. The stomach upset and ringing in the ears has caused me to request different medication."


"Been taking 100mg of Zoloft for about 5 weeks now to treat depression and general anxiety with what also may be a touch of obsessive compulsive disorder.  I have to say the results were better than expected.  I may have experienced a placebo effect within the first week when things seemed magically better but by the second week the anxiety and depression hit again.  By weeks and 3 & 4 it began leveling off and I now feel more balanced emotionally.  My mind isn't spending time fixating on things outside of my control and things have been looking up even though my personal situation has not improved all that much."


"Started off with the expected side effects which subsided after about 2 weeks so no real problem there. Worked really well on my severe plaque psoriasis on my hands, arms, legs and back, not so good on my feet. Unfortunately it stopped working after about 4 to 5 months and is now about 80% as bad as before I started on Otezla."


"Due to possible heart failure about 15 years ago I started having partial seizures waking up in airplanes or hotels not knowing were I was for some time and than gradually became alert until I started with many severe seizures. I started with Tegretol and then switched with Trileptal that was very effective. Forgot to take it a few times and had seizures until I became very conscious of the need and since then I am quite well. I need to stay far from confrontations and conflicts. I currently take 1,500 MG daily (600 morning, 300 dinner 600 @ sleep). My sodium level suffered a lot but I am good on it now. The way to balance it is with coconut water, sports drink and adding a bit more on home cooking. It is a super medicine. I miss my red wine!"


"I have been taking Contrave, 1 pill bid, for over 2 weeks.  Have not lost ONE pound.  Have been extraordinarily hungry - to the point that my stomach starts growling by about 6 pm!!!!  Seriously?  I have been overwhelmingly tired throughout the day and have found it very difficult to get up in the mornings.  I was already taking Wellbutrin, so I just took Contrave instead of my daily dose of Wellbutrin since it was close to the same dose.  Perhaps this doesn't work for people that have been on wellbutrin for a while.  Total waste of money and time."


"I am on 5mg of Abilify and 100mg of Pristiq.   I have been on this combination for about a year.   As a result, I've been the happiest I have been in many years of struggling with severe depression.  HOWEVER,  I'm torn.   I recently recovered from a very severe eating disorder after 30 years!   My weight in a lifetime has been as low as 70lbs and as high as 120lbs. I am 5' 3".  NOW after a year of recovery from the eating disorder AND taking the Abilify and Pristiq,  I have gained over 50lbs!!!!  As you can imagine,  I am totally freaked out.  I suffer from arthritis and it is very difficult to exercise, although I try.  At any rate, I don't know what to do.   I feel great,  but the weight gain is overwhelming and I'm still gaining! HELP!!!"


"Started treatment in July 2016 after being diagnosed. Went from a viral load of 75,000 to undetectable in 4 months."


"Within one day the frequent urination and restricted flow greatly improved ,  feel like I'm back to normal, thank goodness"


"I am not able to judge the effective of this medication because it causes me to develop a urinary tract infection. I have tried it 3 times and developed the problem after each one."


"This medication paired with a small dose of Celexa literally saved my life. I have panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and GAD as well as BPD. I was addicted to Klonopin and it wasn't even working anymore, making me like a zombie. I started this medicine and within 2 weeks I could feel a change. Then by the next month I went from being a suicidally depressed insomniac with uncontrollable and obsessive thoughts to a normal person. For the first time in my entire life I feel normal, at peace. This is a God send. I seriously don't know what would have happened to me had I not found this medication. It doesn't cure BPD, but my moods are the most controlled they've ever been. There is a light at the end of the dark tunnel."


"I experienced severe abdominal cramps and pain as well as diarrhea.  I also experienced weakness and fatigue. I could not tolerate the drug, so I do not know if it had any effect on my cholesterol."


"I've been on Quasense for 7 weeks and 5 days and as of today I have been bleeding for 7 WEEKS STRAIGHT! I started my "period" 3 days after taking my first pill and I haven't stopped bleeding since. The first 3-4 weeks were constant heavy bleeding and then it begin to taper off(actually giving me hope). Weeks 4-6 were pretty light, brown blood here and there(but still consistent daily) throughout the day and I was even more hopeful. Week 6 the bleeding began to become heavy again.....Now here it is week 7 and I'm bleeding like I would be on my normal period! I'm OVER IT! This is STUPID!"


"I was really nervous about getting Implanon inserted after reading all the negative reviews. I did however get it implanted about 5 weeks ago. The day I got it inserted and the day after I was very nauseous and dizzy. I also lost my appetite for about a week. After that everything went back to normal until my arm started itching so bad that I was itching it raw. I had to wrap my arm to keep myself from itching it in my sleep. That was the most annoying thing in the world, but it subsided after a few days. It has now been 4 weeks since I got it inserted and I have no other symptoms. I have had no break through bleeding and no sign of my period either. So far I am very happy that I got Implanon inserted, because the good out ways the bad by far."


"I have numerous health problems, and I normally can't say many good things about medications. But, Dulera has seriously changed my life. It has worked better than any other medication, or combination of medications I have taken. I was and still am completely shocked on how well it has worked for me. I am no longer short of breath, tight in the chest, and can actually laugh without getting light headed or short of breath."


"I had Implanon inserted in April, and I was breastfeeding at the time, so was having no periods.  However, after I stopped breastfeeding in August, my period started and hasn't stopped since.  It's November now, and I am giving it a few more weeks to see if this lets up, but if it doesn't, I"m getting it out.  I've also had cramping and bloating with it, which I hadn't experienced in almost 20 years until now."


"It was super helpful with making my skin smooth and Getting rid of acne scars! I do have a little bit of a breakout but nothing compared to before I used Epiduo!"


"Started to take this med, EXTREME dry mouth and overwhelming fatigue!"


"Amazing. I am experiencing only mild peeling and the benefits are phenomenal. Skin is virtually poreless and very smooth. Pores are clean. Speeding up healing of acne marks. Love it."


"This has worked great on my MRSA but the side effects have been HORRIBLE.  I have felt like I've had the flu but worse, fever, nauseous, but the worst has been the itching! I'm not breaking out in hives but it's a deep internal itch that I can't stop!  Benadryl helps but makes me sleepy!  I'm not sure if it's an allergic reaction but in all the reviews I have read, no one mentions this."
