"I hope this helps to all the depressed people out there. I have been seeing a psychiatrist for drug induced depression.  I abused meth, Vicodin, coke, and any other drug you can think of for years and that has left me a basket case. I have tried many antidepressants but I suffer too many adverse reactions for the stronger stuff. I am currently on 300mg Wellbutrin and 15 mg Deplin and I have to say I feel GREAT! However I had taken Wellbutrin/Deplin combo in the past and it stopped working for me after 6 months.  The results with the antidepressants were a little funny because I went back to abusing Vicodin. Now I am clean of any drugs and just taking what is prescribed by my doctor.  300mg Wellbutrin and 15 mg Deplin. "


"I sprayed it on the irritation which had hurt like a son of gun, and it immediately stopped hurting."


"My pain Doctor gives me this now along with Phenergan in I.M injection, prior to my epidural treatments, for my lower back (twisted tail bone), Bulging discs, neck epidurals, and botox for my migraines. This combination works very well for me in sedation and pain relief, so I can tolerate the epidurals. My system can't tolerate any other medicines very well, so I am thankful for Demerol, as it does not make me sick or have any hangover feeling."


"I've had the Mirena for 5 years. I'm having it takin out next month. I've really enjoyed having this birth control. For one it was very effective and I didn't have to remember to take a pill. The only thing I have bad to say about the Mirena is it did cause cyst which was very painful at times and as I've read all the reviews not one person mentioned discharge. It causes you to "leak". Its perfectly normal.  But to me was gross. And it was a lot! I can say my sex drive has decreased in the last year to where I don't want it at all. Other than that it has been great! Getting it put in didn't really hurt I just felt pressure.  Hope this helps!"


"After a month of bouncing between morning and night dosing of 1 50mg pill, I settled on morning. It was making me super sleepy but that went away mostly. Didn't gain but maybe 5lbs if that (I'm a gym rat somewhat).  Felt really stoned the first week or so and sleeping was strange, maybe a little erectile dysfunction at first, but all of that went away too.  A month in and the side effects are minimal.  The panic is under control, but the depression is completely gone.

THANKS A MILLION ZOLOFT."


"Am on Benicar 40mg once a day. It works pretty good, although doctor had to add 25mg HCTZ to get my blood pressure to 120/70. Causes minimal dizziness, not aware of any other side effects. Prior medicines included lisinopril which worked better but caused me to cough all the time, and Toprol XL. One thing about Benicar - it sped up my heart rate by about 20 beats, which my doctor said was OK."


"I have been on this birth control since June, I haven't had any problems. My period comes like clock work, no scares, no hair loss, no weight gain, no mood swings. I was on a different birth control where I had my period every three months and I prefer this one, just because I can keep track of everything! I recommend it."


"My doctor prescribed doses similar to shingles victims. I would recommend using this with Denavir. I had a cold sore in the morning, and four days later it is almost gone. It went from the initial stage to scab stage in one day. Valtrex is definitely worth it."


"I saw no difference in my cough using these pills. It was still horrible and kept me up at night and lasted several days"


"I am happy again.   After 3 visits to E.R. %uFEFFthe Dr. found that I have ear infection. After 2 days taking %uFEFFthe medicine I feel alive again."


"I used Celexa years ago. Went off of it, for almost 8 years and then started school again. I'm now 26. I had a really bad experience of hyperventilating and passing out due to stress, I was afraid to take anything, but after a year of suffering I decided it's time. My therapist suggested going back on the Celexa and since then I'm on 10 mg once a day and it has helped me a lot. I have been on it for 1 month, I definitely feel better not 100 percent though. I think I might need to up it to 15 mg or 20 mg to feel 100 percent but I don't want to be completely zoned out. We will see I have a final tonight that is going to make or break me in a class, so it may just be today. Celexa has saved my life."


"Yellow neon pee, dizzy, headaches"


"It help get my blood pressure regulated...No side effects at all."


"No good at all, run for your life. Acne break out terrible big yellow hard to squeeze bumps and I never ever had any acne. Clean face all my life, even on other birth control, blood clots in legs. Heavy lumpy flows, disgustingly thick periods. I'm at 110 lbs when started Dasetta 777, rapidly weight gained15 lbs within 2 months. I had to give away all my small underwear couldn't go on my butt, tight, very uncomfortable. Always steady on my weight, hate that pill it, come off of it right away for your life. Now off it for almost a month now and slowly dropping back to my normal weight and life(very,very, very very, very NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE) . Back to my regulated body and small underwear lol."


"I found this bottle from June 2010 that I was given at the emergency room. I can't remember what my visit was for but I have had a migraine since Saturday. I grabbed this bottle in desperation and it was like a miracle. The pain slid away from my head like taking a wig off. My vision is somewhat returning but the pain relief was amazing. I want to talk to my neurologist about a prescription to keep on hand"


"Works better for pain than anything I've tried. "


"This pill nearly killed me!! It took so much salt out of my body that my blood pressure dropped to 42/28 !! I nearly had a stroke/ death situation!!!"


"I got the Mirena in a month ago the procedure didn't hurt at all.The first two weeks the only problem I had was dizziness.About a week ago I started bleeding and have not stopped and I am cramping very very bad. I am starting to think I may have to get it removed."


"I suffered from depression on and off til I was 33. My doctor prescribed a couple medicines without success. Tried Tofranil because my mother took it in the late 1950's. Noticed a gradual improvement over 1 to 4 months with the full effect over a period of about 12 months. Medicine did not work at 100mg so went up to 250mg then 200mg. Some (small price) side effects include dry mouth (Gum, tictac remedy) medicine makes you sleepy about 2 hrs after ingestion. Get ready for a good nights sleep, increased appetite and feeling more relaxed than ever before. I remember the first sign of the Tofranil working was when I went outside one day and the sun seemed so bright and I was happier to be alive. That was 25years ago. "


"Caused me to be very drowsy all of the time, sleeping about 16 hours every night and I developed an itchy rash of red pimple-like bumps on my scalp and neckline and middle of my back after taking it for a few days."


"This is the worst prep ever! Last time I had a colonoscopy I did the moral ax prep and it worked well with no gagging taste, no cramps and no nausea. This time my GI has changed to suprep- worse taste ever, had a hard time holding 1st dose down, vomited 2nd dose, worst cramping ever and burned my skin in the backend when everything came out. WHY do doctors use this when there is a much more tolerable medication on the market? Pure torture!"


"I started Jolessa for my heavy periods and have been on it for about a month now.
I haven't experienced any spotting but I have gained 7 lbs (but feel like I appear much larger). I'm depressed, moody, and I have broken out like no other. I am using acne solution products yet there are pimples all over my face, back, and arms ( I had very clear skin to begin with).
I honestly would rather have my heavy periods that came every 20 days back than feel the way I do on Jolessa."


"Basically I wanted to get my period a little earlier so I stopped taking my birth control on Friday December 4. That Friday and Saturday were the last 2 days before I was supposed to start taking the sugar pills. Anyway, I completely forgot to tell my boyfriend that I hadn't taken the pill that day and he 100% finished inside me. I freaked out and within 30 minutes we went to the store and bought plan B one-step. It is now Monday December 7, 3 days of not taking my birth control and I haven't had my period yet.I'm really scared. I've been bloated and kind of gassy but I'm scared that I'm just subconsciously making myself think that I'm experiencing the symptoms of my period. Please help me out"


"Victoza has been great for me. My numbers are 88 to 125 consistently. The first couple weeks were a little rough with the side effects but my body has adjusted the last 2 weeks. I am eating normal meals, snacking a little more and sleeping better. My A1c was 8.3 in June, gets checked again in November. Based on my blood sugar testing, I expect my A1c to be below 7. Thank you Victoza!!!"


"I am having a lot of headaches, usually morning and night, and am having a lot of weakness. I've also been nauseous and lightheaded. It's very frustrating but it's only been 2 weeks so I'm anxious to see if it gets better."


"I have been taking Benicar 20/12.5 Hydrochlorothiazide for 7 years now. It works well and keeps my blood pressure at 120/75-80. Regular Benicar without diuretic did not work so well so I switched to HCT about 6 years ago. I do experience dizziness occasionally and get light headed but I was told that's normal. "


"I've been using Drysol for quite a few years and it has worked wonderfully! I use it every 2nd or 3rd night, otherwise I get smelly even though I don't sweat much, if at all, while using it. I sometimes use a deodorant with it on the 3rd day. It is a great product that changed my life when I started using it! The only downfall is that it eats away at my pyjama tops after awhile. I wear sleeveless tops when I use it but it still puts holes in them under the arm."


"So I started taking Reclipsen about four months ago. At first, everything was fine. My periods became regular and tolerable and the oiliness of my skin went down. However, about a month ago, I started experiencing horrible mood swings. I already had depression and anxiety but this greatly exacerbated the issue. I started snapping at people, crying, and having suicidal thoughts. I went to a doctor for mood stabilizers and it was almost impossible to find one that didn't react with the Reclipsen. I ruined numerous relationships during that time. I stopped taking it and within one day I felt calmer. I'm definitely not taking it again and will be looking at an IUD."


"I was switched to Avapro from Micardis, two or three years ago, because of cumulative side effects from the latter, including recurring bronchitis and mineral imbalance.  Apparently cumulative side effects have occurred again.  I have now developed something like a chronic sinus infection, one doctor said my tonsils have grown back and are infected, and have suffered with recurring infections in the tear duct of my eye.  I have noticed other changes too, though I'm not sure how many of these may be related to the medication, thus the "5" rating:  I have gradually become an unmotivated and disinterested person, a great change for me.  I hope the next hypertensive medication will have less side effects."


"This is a great medication. While it does make you restless if you take to late in the day, it really makes you feel better quick. There was slight discomfort in joints for first 2 days and went away. On for 7 days, 750 mg. It works very well. It gave me this burst of energy all day and it really decreases your appetite."


"Excellent for anxiety, and panic attacks. Saved me from myself. However I have put a stone on in weight - I know this is unusual, but I have not changed my diet in any way, and prior to this I had lost 3 and half stone , which stayed off for over a year without any gain, prior to taking this medication. Very upsetting.."


"Epiduo is amazing. I had pretty bad face and back acne for a while and nothing worked to clear it. My sister had the same problem so she was prescribed Epiduo and it helped her a lot so I decided to give it a try. It cleared my skin really fast. I saw a difference after just using it twice. I read other comments and they all complained about the dryness and burning but that only happens because they use it everyday from the start. You're supposed to ease into it like maybe use once every 3 days then after a few times of doing that use it every other day and then if you really need to, which I find that I don't, you use it everyday."


"I have tried every bc out there and my body has rejected them all. Even the IUDs dislodged themselves within three days. got the nexplanon about a month and a half ago and I have had very unstable mood swings. I'm a hardcore fitness person so my body fat was at 10% when I got this and it's made me gain 15lbs. My bleeding won't stop been two weeks and my cramps have become worse and lasted a whole week. Worst experience with birth control."


"I'm 18 and have been on Cryselle for around 3 years. I have 3-4 day periods that are generally pretty light and manageable. No weight gain or mood swings, but I've suffered from acne since I hit puberty and recently realized that my skin completely clears up during my placebo pill week. I really think that the hormones in Cryselle are what's been giving me such bad skin. Although I really like everything else about this pill, I'm switching to another next week that will hopefully improve my skin."


"I suffered with Irritable Bowel Syndrome for over 30 years beginning in my 30's after a severe gastrointestinal infection. I controlled it with OTC meds like Pepto-Bismol and Imodium. The condition worsened until I could no longer count on having a symptom free day and my diet was severely limited. My doctor recommended Nortriptyline and the lowest dose of 10 mg immediately worked. I now can eat a diet that includes fruits and vegetables I has been unable to eat for years. I did have one troubling side effect at first -rapid heart rate. I was taking a low dosage of a beta blocker for this condition prior to taking Nortriptyline. My doctor recommended increasing my beta blocked dosage, and the palpitations  have discontinued. I am healthy and very active."


"I have had the Mirena in for close to one year now. I have one son and my husband and I have been talking about having another child. Around eight weeks ago I started having horrible mood swings, crying, and I have become very easily upset.Weight gain, low libido and continued dryness are also a problem. I have unbearable cramping and pains in my lower abdomen, and I have had 6 yeast infections since I had Mirena put in place, I had never had one prior to this. At first I put all my problems up to working on the Noc shift, when I quit doing that and the signs were still there I realized what the problem was."


"I took Flexeril for my back and it did help, but it made me extremely tired and gave me bad cotton mouth.  I would take it and be drowsy for 16 hours afterwards."


"I was prescribed lexapro about a year after my assault. I took only one pill. It made me feel worse than the anxiety it self. I was in a daze all day not sure how I made to college that day and back home. Walking was like I was drunk and the overall feeling inside me was horrible. what a waste of $65.00 back then."


"It's now day 6 of being on Contrave, my start weight was 176.3 I'm now 170lbs. I'm averaging a pound a day. The nausea I started with lasted for only 3 days. I get this weird feeling that comes over me throughout the day, I just drink more water & it passes. No other side effects so far!"


"I've had insomnia since I was 14, I'm 35 now. My insomnia stems from abuse as a child which led to PTSD. When I was about 23 I was diagnosed as bi-polar. I don't think I've ever really slept like a normal person. I've been on so many different sleep aids. I have had 2 sleep studies, the most recent confirmed that I don't have sleep apnea but that I don't have normal sleep. I started Clonazepam a couple weeks ago after the combination of ativan 2mg and amitriptyline 300 mg stopped working. My doctor started me at 0.5mgs I took it for 2 weeks and it had no effect on me, so she raised it to 1mg and I don't know what I'm supposed to feel but I'm definitely not tired, I'm up till 3 or 4 in the morning. It's honestly one of the most frustrating things."


"I have no idea where some folk get their MoviPrep from, but I'm in the UK and got it free through the NHS to use in preparation for an endoscopy to check my bowels.
First off, the taste was fine - just like a powdered lemon juice - absolutely no problems drinking it - in fact I enjoyed watching TV whilst sipping it!
It took about 1.5 hours before I had my first toilet visit, but at no time was I concerned that I might lose control. My stools became watery after the second visit and continued that way for about 10 or more visits. To my surprise, I went to bed, about 2 hours after my last drink, I didn't have to get up in the night. In the morning, slight watery movement and then went to hospital. The surgeon said that my bowel was clear"


"I have had RA since 1987 and tried pretty much every drug and biologic out there. After a few weeks on Simponi  (2011) I swore that I was completely cured of my RA. Unfortunately the manufacturer does not give financial assistance to people on Medicare so I had to get off the best drug that ever worked and have been deteriorating ever since. Shame on Johnson & Johnson for not having compassion on patients who can't afford their drug.
BIG DRUG COMPANIES!!!"


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"I wanted to tell everyone that I was diagnosed with migraines about 12 years ago, and I was prescribed Midrin / Duradrin / Epidrin ever since.  I can tell you, that it is the MOST effective migraine medication that I have personally taken.  My migraines have been so vicious over the last 12 years that I have tried EVERYTHING over-the-counter and prescription, trying to prevent them in the first place.  I guess at this point in my life so far, nothing we have tried has really had any true success. Either the medicines I was taking to prevent them in the first place caused more side effects than what I could tolerate.  I take 2 caps and feel relief usually within 30 minutes and side effects are minimal."


"This is my experience so far for anyone considering a Mirena coil.
I ummed and erred for months because of negative reviews and my concerns were:
1) Would insertion hurt? The answer was no, I've had more painful cervical smears than the insertion of my mirena coil.
2) Would it mess with my monthly cycle? Yes, it did. I bled constantly, (in an array of colours!) for the obligatory 3 months that the GP told me to wait, until my body got used to it. Then it was another month before I finally went back to my GP and said "Help". She gave me a progesterone pill told me to take it for a month. I only took it for only one week! It did the job, I stopped bleeding and have gone on to a normal cycle. My periods only last a couple of days, do not hurt and are light, (just a smear of blood). I am 47 and compared to the heavy periods I was having before, it's a walk in the park.
3) Would I put on weight? No, not so far. I feel thinner around the middle.
4) Would I loose my sex drive? No, not so far. I was worried about this, however I am happy to say that I have noticed no difference. Sex is just as welcome and enjoyable as before.
5) Would I get spots? No. The doctor told me that this was less likely because the hormonal content is tiny and localised to the womb. She was right.
All in all it was the right decision for me. I am very happy. I hope this post helps others."


"I am a newbie on this medicine. I went to the doctor because had been for months, in a state of constant terror, like the feeling you would get if you were driving down the road and a kid ran out in front of the car. That feeling was with me 24/7. I had terrible nightmares.

Since the first day I took Celexa, my terror subsided by about 80%. Day 4, I am a bit edgy, but I took a half Xanax and am okay now. Before I was taking four Xanax a day and I was still not coping.

My side effects have been being more tired than usual, although today I am just fine. I am constipated, but a stool softener worked that out. I just pray the bad feelings stay away and I don't become non-compliant, which is typical for me. I always find a reason to stop medicines."


"I had no initial problems with Xiidra. No burning or bad taste. It seemed to be working well. I had temporary blurred vision for awhile after using the drops. Then, after using Xiidra for two weeks, one morning the blurred vision didn't clear. I could not see to read. It was terrifying. Two optometrists, an MD and an Opthamologist could not find a cause. I immediately stopped using Xiidra. My vision has slowly returned, and is now normal. Please report side effects to the FDA. I believe Xiidra has the potential for much more serious side effects than have been reported."


"I suffer from Chronic  Depression and High Anxiety all my life. Other medications work but I am so out of touch with reality I choose not to take them..

I started a 300mg twice a day dose of Oxcarbazepine with 50mg of Pristiq. I have only been taking this for two weeks but so far everything is great... I am experiencing what its like to be “Normal”... A feeling I have rarely experienced so it feels a little abnormal. Life is much better now.... the best I have ever felt..  I hope it works for years to come"


"This medicine works guys.  I am doing the daily dose.  Doctor said for me to do a pill a day for 2 weeks then every other day after that.  If this scheduling works the cost will be very reasonable for the benefit received."


"Just got put back on lexapro 20mg a few days ago after being off of it for a few months. Same side effects as when I had started it before; a headache that doesn't wanna go away, nausea, lightheadedness, dizziness and my insomnia has gotten worse."


"Evens me out... Reduces the ups and downs."


"I was on Coumadin from 2008-2013. I am now 28 years old. Imagine how I react when I go to a Dr, get told about Xarelto, that I do NOT need to see my doctor weekly-biweekly, and I CAN EAT GREENS! It was a miracle for me. Yes, the bleeding risk is still there. But a once daily pill for my chronic recurrent deep vein thrombosis verses modifying multiple times my Coumadin based on fluctuating INR levels is a God send. My PCP was about to put me on the similar Xa-inhibitor medication but this came out. Off to enjoy sauteed spinach!"


"I experienced some side effects in the beginning of taking this medication. I tried two others prior to this and they failed so when I got onto this it helped me so much. I feel so much better and more energized then I have had in the past."


"loved this birth control! my periods were a little abnormal but nothing too major. no mood swings or weight gain. :)"


"Serious auto wreck crushed 2 discs in cervical area. Only options are surgical or meds. Out of 5 people who had surgery, 1 completely cured surgically. 3 said condition unchanged after long R&R.Last one was in wheelchair due to small surgical error. That made up my mind. As long as meds control pain enough to live normal life(pretty much), I refuse to risk surgical procedure. Started with 3 30mg Oxycontin a day, did fairly well, but in line at pharmacy one day, said the word oxycontin too loudly, noticed three heads turned. I was afraid of being mugged on the way out. My doc suggested 30 mg Opana @2 a day, but had to increase to 40 mg@ 2Xdaily. With 4 10 mg IR for b/t pain, it is as good as it can be. I also take 3 mg xanax daily"


Bisacodyl / polyethylene glycol 3350 / potassium chloride / sodium bicarbonate / sodium chloride

"New dose, one pill took it at noon, bowel motion by 1:30 at 5pm started drinking solution every 10 minutes. Choose the cherry flavor, tasted like thick flavored water. I am glad it was cold, did not taste as bad as I anticipated. Biggest thing was drinking it, gone fast and doing it again and again - 20 minutes into it I went to my throne had to in between drinking the solution after every other glass (at least I was able to discard some and have room for more that way I was more comfortable. Was so happy when 6:10 came and I finished - by 8:30pm I went to bed and had a great nights sleep. Woke around 4:30pm for another visit to my throne did go back to bed and test went well."


"I have had fibro and chronic fatigue for years.  I used to take Skelaxin occasionally.  When I developed degerative bone disease and increasing arthritis, I decided to take it regularly and see what happened.  Over a period of a few months, I have found that my pain has reduced significantly.  It is one of those drugs that seems to work better when taken regularly as opposed to for an acute attack.  The down side is that it is expensive, even in generic form."


"Too expensive. I use sparingly and often have to go without when I can't afford the high cost of the refill since my insurance doesn't cover it."


"After my son had the croup for three weeks and spent ten days on Augmentin and fighting with a two year old to administer it twice a day, he developed a severe sinus infection. The physician prescribed liquid Zithromax that had to be given once per day and only for five days and did not need to be refrigerated which was great since we were traveling and best of all it got rid of the croup and the sinus infection very fast - it's a winner."


"I've been on these pills for 2 days and no relief from the coughing at all."


"I've only been taking Buspar for 3 weeks and my anxiety is gone but I'm still depressed and irritable."


"My Dr. put me on this medication for high blood pressure....it made me very sick within two weeks after taking it. I felt like I was coming down with the flu. My muscles were weak my joints began hurting. I had a very low grade fever and wanted to go home and go to bed. Then my bladder began to hurt so bad. I had been on some other type of medication for high blood pressure and the same thing happened with it. I knew that I had experienced this before and immediately stopped the hydrochlorothiazide, and my body went back to normal within a week and a half. Another thing I noticed  was my urine was like water there was no color whatsoever in it, until I started taking vitamins and the color returned."


"I was put on Lyza at Planned Parenthood because of my history of migraines. Overall, I've had a good experience on Lyza. I sometimes have spotting between periods, but now after about a year, I only get a period every 3 months or so. At first this kind of freaked me out, and I take a pregnancy test if it's been about 60 days since my last period. Sometimes I get very tender breasts as well. Those are really my only complaints about this medication. There are no other side effects I've noticed, skin is fine, and mood is pretty evened out. My periods are generally less heavy than they were before, which I also appreciate."


"I have been using Aczone for about a month now.  I have had acne for years.  I am now 26 and have recently experienced a pretty bad flareup of my acne, so for the first time I went to the dermatologist.   After a couple of bad products, I finally got introduced to Aczone...and I love it.  Since starting on it, my skin has cleared up dramatically without peeling or sensitivity issues.  I use it once a day and have managed to still be using the tiny 3 g tube that I got as a sample, so a little goes a long way.  I have a coupon for it when I finally fill my prescription (which I WILL be doing, regardless of the cost).  Also, it's important for me to say that I am not on anything else--just Aczone."


"When major diet changes and exercise hardly changed cholesterol at all I was started on 1500mg Niaspan. I do experience flushing, several times a month. Wake up hot and feel like I am burning up and itchy all over. If it delays another heart attack like 14 years ago it is a small price to pay."


"Everything was okay until the end of the first pack. Then, I spotted for 2 months straight. I am now having my period, and it is just like how they were before the medicine, only with more cramps. I usually have awful cramps the first day, then they go away. I'm 3 days in and the cramps haven't gotten better. I am remaining hopeful for the next 3 month set though."


"Was on Gianvi for 2 months. Stopped taking it because it gave me mood swings, and caused me to break out more (which was the reason I wanted to take it in the first place). My sex drive was really low the first month, but it got back to normal. I had terrible cramps before, and this actually helped alot. I had an awful time tryin to concentrate on things, and over all it just made me feel crazy... :("


"This medication was amazing at the beginning, but now it has caused severe moodiness and abnormal uterine bleeding. (I've had 2 full periods in 3 weeks) and somedays I start spotting and get cramps even though I take my pills on time."


"Taking Topamax with Zoloft ... my first week was a tough but I feel so good. I have PTS, bipolar, depression, anxiety and in the 4 months I had three episodes and that's so good I was having episodes everyday. I feel good."


"2-day migraine, ended up in urgent care. Wanted Vicodin they ended up giving me a shot of this. Waited 10 minutes for signs of allergic reaction. Pain was reduced although not gone. Left urgent care. 30 minutes later full blown allergic reaction, swelling of face.

My experience, this med is not nearly as good as vicodin. Allergic reaction for me marks this as never again."


"Using for one month working great on my big toenail ."


"I have had RLS since I was a child (now am 38).  Was on Clonazepam 1 mg as needed.  Switched sleep doctors and am now under the care of a neurologist who recommended Requip.  I started at 0.5mg and am now at 1.5mg.  I have to take it earlier and earlier because the RLS is so bad.  As I type this at 4:30 in the afternoon, I am ready to go get a saw and start cutting off at the knees!  I think I am going to go back on the Clonazepam.  This is miserable."


"I had 3 HPV near my V opening, went to see my gyne. Had it checked and she gv me a box of Aldara, Probas Omega 3 AEE, Protexin Protect Multi Prebiotic.

The doc explained treating HPV (skin tags, warts) must be done both ways, frm inside and outside due to low immune/anti body system inside us.

Aldara is for skin app, 3x a week (Mon, Wed, Fri). Apply while lying or sit down - allow it to absorb for a while before sleep at night. 1 sachet perweek.

As for the Omega 3 & Protect, 2x a day. On top of that, double up my norm 1000mg VitC and MultiV. All these for 30 days.

Aft 2 weeks, it completely gone. Balance of Aldara, will keep if any for future."

"Trinessa is the best birth control I've tried! I've been faithful to it for 5 years now with no side effects whatsoever. I used to have bad acne and within a month or so of taking it my face is completely clear! A god send. It also doesn't affect my mood whatsoever or weight changes. I love it! I moved to the UK and Trinessa isn't provided here so I tried a different pill. It made me break out and made me very depressed so I stopped. I'm having someone send me Trinessa from America because it is so good! I've also tried other pills before and they all made me moody whereas Trinessa just makes me feel calm. Definitely recommended."


"I was so stressed! Like to the max! U probably are too if you're looking at reviews for this pill. Okay things to help you out. If u took the pill in the 72 hour range, URE GOOD! Also try not to make your partner nervous. This pill worked for my gf.

My incident: I put my penis inside without protection but for less than 30 seconds and proceeded with a condomn afterwards. Scared that precum might get her pregnant, which is highly unlikely but who cares right, we went to the store and bought Plan B. She experienced burning and stomach aches which was normal for the least(You might have different side effects). If u are bleeding, do not worry its just the pill. If you experience any of the side effects, ITS WORKING! Itll work!DONT STRESS"


"They are really good - I need one about 3 times a year. Nothing else works. After having a headache for 3 consecutive days - I reach for the super tablet.

Highly recommended!"


"After 8 hours of fast, irregular beating I went to the emergency room and was diagnosed with afib, which reverted on its own after a few hours. The doctor prescribed metoprolol ER 25mg. I tried to give this drug a chance, but it did absolutely nothing to stop subsequent episodes. If anything they seemed to get worse. It felt like my heart was stopping altogether. I'm a fit 27 year old with low BP and resting heart rate. Because of this, I have to question the doctor's judgement in prescribing this medication. It brought my BP and heart rate down even further, severely affecting my quality of life. I was constantly lightheaded, foggy, woke up with headaches, etc. Bad decision on his part. Switched to flecainide and feel like myself again!"


"I've seen an improvement in my premenstrual dysphoric disorder symptoms.  The side effects were mild - queasiness and a jittery feeling, which went away in about 2 weeks."


"Effexor helped me to relax, although it was a trade off. I had continuous headaches and heartburn. It started with nightly headaches. Then that turned into an everyday thing, I would have to take migraine medicine before bed. After I started doing that I would wake up from heartburn! I never have heartburn. This medicine is definitely a trade off."


"I had a horrible experience with Prozac. I was actually very excited when my doctor decided it would be the next anti-depressant medication I tried, because it gets so much good publicity. Hell, there's even a memoir called "Prozac Nation." Upon beginning my daily regimen of prozac, I had increased anxiety (too the point that I was having uncontrollable heart palpitations, dizzy spells, trouble breathing -- I couldn't eat, and got down to 100lbs on accident) and my suicidal ideation increased to the point that I made a very serious suicide attempt. Thanks to quick intervention, speedy response from paramedics, and a life flight I am alive today. Be careful, and be aware of side effects."


"It worked when I was in the mental hospital but not in the real world."


"I was immediately put on the suggested  333mg x2 tabs-three times a day ..as soon as I started my community Detox; which included Librium. It is early days here BUT the change in me is enormous. I drank since 20...a "binge drinker" or so I thought!!. I was unable to Stop. I'm Lucky to be alive . Once a car I was in went over a precipice but still I craved the alcohol.  The craving was pure hell. Now at 56-I feel finally freed out a prison of craving something that would have killed me . THANK YOU CAMPRAL. People In AA had given up on me and I'd given up too...till Campral. "


"This is the best to knock a panic attack flat on its arse. I been taking 0.5mg daily for 6 months and I also take them when I fly. I could literally walk on the wing and not care. Don't take with alcohol though..I made the mistake of popping one of these  then drank 4 or 5 martinis. I made a fool of myself and swung from a coworkers chandelier at a party and pulled it out of the ceiling. Everyone was cheering me on so I felt like a bru. The more I drank the stupider I became. At the end of the night I climbed a street pole and tried to punch out the light telling people it was a UFO. They work well, but do not drink on them"


"I have used this birth control for years and have had absolutely no side effects, which is very unusual for me because every medication I've ever taken in my life except Advil has caused an adverse reaction.  I have nothing but good things to say about it."


"I've been taking Pristiq for almost a month now. I have OCD, anxiety and depression. I also take 0.5 mg of peach Xanax. The Pristiq works great for me, the Xanax helps with the sleeping side effects of Pristiq but after taking it for this long I can fall asleep pretty well with out it. I wake up with energy and as I take it more and more I feel better."


"So I have irregular periods and decided to get back on BC to regulate them... I'm on day 11 of Aviane and it is the absolute WORST!!!!!!!!! I started spotting within a day of taking the pill... I figured since it been a while that was normal. Ugh. Then started a full blown period the next day and it hasn't gone away. I missed one dosage and that lightened it up, but now that I'm taking it reguarly again it's a heavy cycle again. Also I've vomitted once and have been consistently nauseous and have headaches all day. I try to drink water and eat but nothing is helping, but laying down and I can't do that all day. My mood is ridiculous. I cry about everything now. I cried because the sun was out and it was beautiful smh. I would say stay away!"


"Adipex is a very strong weight loss aid. An ex of mine took it with great results. Although if not taken as prescribed (late in the day), you will not sleep. It curbs your appetite sometimes she didn't even eat. As any medicine, it will affect each person differently."


"I live in Central Texas where we have allergens year round. I have suffered from allergies all my life and eventually everything just stopped working, and nasal sprays made things worse. Xyzal has been amazing for me- I take it at night and have zero side effects (that I'm aware of!)

It is TOTALLY worth trying if Claritin and Zyrtec don't work for you anymore."


"My son was so hyper that he couldn't even sit still to eat.  I would like to respond to the person who questioned her thin 6 year old being put on this medicine.  My son was actually able to put on some weight as he was able to focus and finish his meals.  Within a year he was at a normal weight for his height.  My son's doctor was able to explain that people with ADD or ADHD do not abuse this drug because it has the opposite affect on them than people without the disorder."


"I got the nexplanon October 22nd of 2015 and I spotted for a month and hadn't had a period since. I had bruising in the insertion area for 3 weeks. The first couple of months I had a killer migraine nearly every day they eventually stopped. As I hit my first year mark I began getting pregnancy symptoms so I took a few tests even went to the doctor and I wasn't thankfully but turns out all my side effects (nausea, sensitive smell, weight gain, mood swings, excessive sleeping, and even frequent urination) were due to the nexplanon. I finally got it removed January 16th of 2017."


"I've been taken Bydureon for 4 weeks now and have lost 5kg The only side effects I have had is heartburn and nausea and headaches but has stopped. I do recommended this drug to anyone. It does suppress the appetite really well I take it with Metformin
I get it through Prescription which cost $5.60 a month"


"I've had psoriasis for 15 years.  I have purposely avoided biologics, steroids and UV treatments.  I used Elocon for my first spot ever when I was first diagnosed with psoriasis and it made my tiny non-healing patch of psoriasis go away in a day.  It never came back in that location.  So, here it is 15 years later and although I've been covering up all year round and using coal tar to take the itch away. I've finally figured out a treatment plan that works.  Use the Elocon to get rid of all the patches (it works great!)  Then, use the 25% coal tar (5% active coal tar). Wallah! No more dermatologists or steroids for years!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Had my first colonoscopy and was given suprep.  I found it very easy to use and worked very quickly once taken.  I followed all directions to the letter.  I was surprised when the doctor post procedure said the he had to take extra time to clean.  I felt disappointed because it's a lot of work to prep for this procedure and I was not happy with the end result."


"Overall, Aviane works pretty well. My periods are average and I have had no weight loss or gain. The one side effect I have had is terrible acne! My face was pretty much clear when I started (I'd get minor breakouts around my period, but nothing bad). Within a couple of months of being on Aviane, my cheeks started breaking out really badly. I've never even had acne on my cheeks. It's painful and there's scarring. I've tried staying on it in hopes that my body would adjust and the breakouts would stop, but they've only gotten worse. "


"I was given a double dose of Ativan IV in the hospital and 1mg dose pills for home!
Only took .25 on occasion and now I'm having withdrawal symptoms!Can anyone answer my question about Ativan being addictive with only .25 mg occasionally?"


"Ok, I hit my one month mark as of today, I have lost 10 pounds, with very little effort. This medication is amazing. I am still not having any negative side effects, and my cravings and hunger are a thing of the past. This stuff is great! I am at 163.5lbs now, so I have about 30 more pounds to go, hopefully I can keep the 10 pounds a month fade going, then I can get off the medicine and continue eating healthy small meals. I hope everyone is having the same success! Best of luck."


"Have been on Bydureon for 3 months. It is also the first medicine I've been given for type 2 diabetes.  I was gaining weight, my blood sugar was out of site, and my A1C was sky high.  Since I started using Bydureon, my A1C went from 10 to 7 in 2 weeks.  In 3 months it has gone to 5.6.  I am never hungry. I was a sweet eater but now I can hardly stand sweets.  I have lost 15 pounds in 2 1/2 months."


"Works wonders! Stick with it though.

The first time I went on it, my face was pretty clear since I had just come off birth control so I had no "purging" experience. It kept my face completely clear and even cleared up some fine lines! Unfortunately, my insurance stopped covering it for a bit. My skin was ok for the first few weeks off it and then I suddenly had massive cysts. My insurance changed again and they now cover it!

Second round: definitely some purging, definitely a lot of flaking, but skin is getting back to where it was. Stick with it. The stuff really works but you have to give it time!"


"Best medication ever."


"Ive had anxiety, panic, and depression for  8 months. Its been Hell. SSRI's are scary to me, and I had a bad experience with one. I searched non SSRI and found Quetiapine, which is the generic Seroquel. I take 25mg during the day, sometimes twice a day, and 1x25mg at night before bed. Helps calm down the anxiety so I can sleep at night, and function at work during the day. No bad side effects. Small doses almost act like a heavy antihistamine. Makes me a little drowsy, but its worth it to be able to function.

If your suffering from anxiety, dont be scared to take this medication! Do yourself a favor and just be brave and do it. You will feel better. Nobody wants to take pills, but sometimes enough is enough and we need help."


"It didn't help depression or low grade chronic pain AT ALL. I had better depression relief from Celexa and Wellbutrin.

But the biggest reason I caution against cymbalta is because of the extreme withdrawal symtoms I experienced. I followed the doctor-recommended protocol to wean off. Weaning seems to mean prolonging misery. The nausea and dizziness I have endured for the last 5+ weeks with no end in sight is debilitating.

I urge you to please research your options thoroughly before even trying cymbalta."


"I think this medicine is amazing. I have always struggled with acne and have tried everything to get rid of it. I refused to take Accutane due to it's side effects and drying of the skin.  Also I knew my acne was a hormonal issue so I didn't want something that was just going to dry out my skin and come right back, plus very dry skin will make you age quicker. With my acne I would get acne scars that would last for two to three years. My acne is cured 100%, I'm now using 20% vitamin C serum, SPF 70, Hydroquinone 4%, Antioxidant serum, and hyloranic acid serum, and a emollient moisturizer to help the hyperpigmentation from my acne scars. I can use all of this on my face without breaking out now. Whoo HOO!"


"I was switch from Ocella to Loryna when my doctor prescribed me Yaz. Both are generic forms of the drug. 3 weeks into my pack I became severely depressed and tired. I slept for almost 3 days straight and could barely get out of bed. My skin started to break out all over, including my neck, back, cheeks, jawline, and forehead - and I hardly ever break out."


"You do not go-lightly, tastes like slightly salty water."


"I have used Soma off and on for many years and never have I been addicted to it or had any withdrawal symptoms!  Even after using it for a year or more!  When I felt I no longer needed it I stopped the medication with no ill effects! It does work well for muscle spasms and aches.  "


"Three weeks in I've lost 14lbs.  My out of control appetite is in check, cravings for sweets have decreased.  I highly recommend Belviq and so happy I found it.  Only side effect so far is coughing.  I can live with that."


"Either I'm really a psycho or it just so happens I'm all the sudden super emotional since I started taking this about  8 weeks ago.  Is anyone else experiencing this? I've also been breaking out really bad."


"Mirena is an awesome option for birth control. I don't even have to think about taking a pill or remembering to replace a patch. It was easy to get inserted and it is barely noticeable that it is even there. Mirena has not caused me to have any problems at all. It also has not caused any weight gain like the pill does."


"I do not deal with fits of rage anymore nor do I go to extreme lows of sadness and the world is ending. Side effects I had were initially insomnia grogginess after taking the medication and a little bit more hungry. I eat a well-balanced diet with lots of vegetables some fruit high protein and I notice having a snack before taking it helps for hunger pains. I make sure to get regular low impact exercise such as walking. I am now able to be a better mother keep my jobs and feel much much much better mentally. Give it a try at least a month. It has been 3 weeks and I do not have insomnia at night anymore and have dropped 14 pounds. Stay positive don't let side effects get you down!"


"I have taken Topamax for the last 8 months as a mood stabilizer. It has worked great, not only has it helped with my moods, but it also helped me lose more than 30 lbs without struggling to lose it. It was easy and great. I am happy again and I don't feel like I want to chew off everyone's head when I start to get irritable or around "that time of month". It's been a life saver."


"Year 1 no effect on my weight, years 2 & 3 I experienced steady weight gain (15kg / 33 pounds). Other main side effects were: somnolence, swearing, electric-shock sensations in my brain and my body, twitching.

However, SSRIs had never worked well for me, and venlafaxine was a fantastic alternative. I became very complacent in general on this drug.

The withdrawal symptoms I had were horrendous - it was like coming off narcotics. . Vomiting, shaking, muscle spasms, everything hurt. At one point drifting in and out of consciousness. But if I hadn't taken venlafaxine I probably wouldn't be here today. I would take it again if I had to.

Dose 150mg. Female, I was 27 when I went on Effexor XR and 30 when I stopped. I turn 31 next week."


"I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in November of 2016 my PSA was 14.8 and my Gleason Score was 6.  The good news is that the cancer did not spread outside to prostate and was in 9 out of 12 from the biopsy.   I took Casodex for one month and had one Lupron injection then stared 44 treatments of radiation around treatment 20 my PSA went down to .09.   After I complete radiation I have one more Lupron Injection to take then that is it no more Cancer I hope.  The side effects are some hot flashes, weight gain, shrinking testicles and frequent urination.  After my next and last Lupron injection I hope to be done with Cancer"


"I have taken Votrient since 9/2010, starting at 800 mg per day, but reducing dosage to 400 mg then 200 mg due to high liver enzyme counts.  I started taking Votrient after my kidney was removed due to RCC, in addition I had three tumors in my legs, which is how I found out I had RCC.  After taking Votrient and the kidney removal two of the tumors disappeared, one year later and after taking the drug for one year I had the third tumor removed by surgery which was reduced in size by 50%.  Today my latest scans are showing no new cancer sites.  Side effects have been minimal, diarrhea, and change in taste with higher dosages, plus sexy looking white hair!  This medicine has allowed me to continue traveling, and enjoy life without any limits."


"Don't buy this product! It makes your vagina burn and itch so bad! It feels like 1000 ants are inside of you! Just terrible."


"I'm a 20yr old woman who has never had kids and I'm here to tell you how to get an IUD so you don't have a terrible experience like some of the people who rate this drug badly
Don't listen to the bad reviews!
They will just freak you out, plus complications are extremely rare, especially if you ask the doc (not a nurse) about his/her personal stats. Side effects like moodiness, weight gain and acne are impossible! Less than 1% of the drug gets in your blood stream so it can't have the same side effects as most birth controls
The cervix softener and ibprofin really help with pain while lorazipam helps relax your muscles. Make sure you take them!
It will hurt like a strong cramp, but it is brief and worth the 99.7  protection plus no periods"


"The moment I hit 30, my metabolism slowed. Despite working out and eating healthy, I felt bloated after I ate and I was irregular. I really felt like my body was overloaded and not processing things at a normal speed but I felt lethargic and hungry so I was starting to get depressed over the whole thing. I tried diuretics/lax and increasing fiber to no avail and the cramping sucked.

This is making a real difference. I feel leaner and lighter and my joints aren't so overtaxed carrying the extra weight. My energy is way better. It's messy at times and not easy but if you have two weeks of down time where you can be by the bathroom, give this a go."


"I began taking Lo Loestrin Fe in March, 2016 as a remedy for very heavy, frequently spaced periods. During the first two months I had 4-5 breakthrough bleed days. The bleeding was more than spotting and more like a regular period.  By the third month, I had no period and only a very small amount of breakthrough bleeding. I have no other side effects to report, and at this point am happy with the very light to non-existent periods and almost no breakthrough bleeding."


"I was having quite a bit of stress that was job related. I was put on 10mg a day and this dose works great for me. I experienced yawning, more frequent urination and dry mouth in the beginning. I cannot say enough about this medicine. It has helped me immensely with very few side effects. I have had some difficulty reaching orgasm but do not have any issues with libido. I feel anyone dealing with depression/anxiety should give this medicine a shot. I myself read the reviews and was so optimistic that it would do wonders for me like it did for many others after I had done my homework. I consider this to be a miracle."


"Have been taking for over 10 years mixed in with a period of about 2 years when my doctor took me off because of depression symptoms subsiding. The majority of the time I have been on 10mg, last 2 years have had dose raised to 20mg. The drug has worked great for me. Terrific improvement from when I started and 99% reduction in panic attacks. Reduction in OCD symptoms as well. Well tolerated for me at least, but I realize with these medications everyone is different. It’s not perfect but the relief I got was real and changed my life. For that I am thankful."


"I have degenerative joint due to arthritis and was given samples by physician worked fine.  The joint is in my foot so walking was improved"


"Thanks to Sanofi for giving me such a great product. Its doing miracles. NO MORE NEEDLES - this is much much better than traditional insulin. I have been using it for more than 6 months and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend my diabetic friends to talk to your doctor about this. the only down side if you should have good lungs- no cancer etc . I am super excited . Wish you all luck."


"It took away the pain but it made me very jittery. It should not be taken unless in severe pain and follow doctors orders exactly."


"I took toprolol as a kid for a type of heart Failure. My doctor said it was same as what athletes get at age 29 I had been switched to Metoprolol 50mg once daily. After a few years a new doctor took me off of it and I began jumping awake gasping for air. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and put on a CPAP. It never helped I Kept having it, turned up until the pressure was wide open. but still I jumped awake at nights. My doctor was beside himself with what to do and finally I was placed back on the Metoprolol 50Mg and in two weeks my sleep Apnea disappeared."


"Undetectable after one month. Finishing 2nd bottle    Had all the common side effects"


"Can I just say that this is the worst mistake that I have ever made? I got the skyla put in on Monday (4 days ago). Since then, I've been constantly throwing up, completely lost my appetite, and the cramps are so unbearable that I've called out of work twice. Along with the cramps comes the lower back pain so it makes it nearly impossible to ever get comfortable. I'd never recommend this to anyone and I'm already considering getting this stupid thing taken out."


"Omgggg when will the spotting stop! It’s been one month!!!!! So annoying...."


"I have a small, internal hemorrhoid that caused my whole rectum to become inflamed, itchy and sensitive. I tried all the over the counter meds: Prep H, hydrocortisone, anti-biotic, anti-histamines. Finally went to the doctor and got Proctofoam. This is great. It's been 3 days and swelling is gone, itching is gone and I can have a bowel motion and wipe without pain or itchiness. I would recommend this for anyone with anal itching. It is a God Send. I use once at night and in the morning. It is a bit odd to use as you have to fill a small syringe (supplied) to apply internally through the rectum, but the effect is IMMEDIATE and SOOTHING.

No, I don't work for the drug company, I am just very happy this product is available."


"28 yr old- healthy/active nurse.   Always had minor acne since college but nothing like what I had a year ago last summer (2011). I blame it on YAZ for messing up my hormones. Painful cystic acne covered my jawline and forehead.  I'm talking like 20  cysts at a time.  Tried every OTC washes, organic,  no caffeine, sugar, dairy,  you name it.  Nothing worked.  Even though I did not want to go on the pill, I had too.  ORTHO TRI CYCLEN (no the generic) for almost 7 months and finally it's almost clear.  It was BAD first few months but I stuck with it.  Give it time. PS: Generic is NOT the same as the real thing.  Different fillers causes different reactions!"


"I started the medication on 5/28/09 and its now June 9th.  I have lost 6 lbs in eleven days. I am happy with the medication and it definitely helps with the appetite. However, you do have to exercise and watch what you eat. I don't have those sweet cravings now. I have had little to know side effects. I really haven't noticed having extra energy but do have dry mouth.  I chew sugarless gum and drink plenty of water."


"I am currently prescribed 300mg per day for use as a mood stabilizer. Dr never told me I was bipolar (found out when I googled this medicine). I previously took Latuda. They work the same for me. I took 600mg last night by accident and it has me ultra mellow."


"I started using doxy on February 8th, 2016. So far, it has worked and I have seen small improvements, such as less acne in certain areas. It has not fully hit my face yet, as I still have acne, but I do have high hoped for the coming weeks."


"This medication is awesome for suppressing my appetite and helping me lose weight.

I have lost a total of 23 lbs in 2 months taking 1 pill every other day.

I just cannot deal with the headaches, which is why I will have to stop taking them."


"I've been on the Depo-Provera shot for over 8 months now, I received my first shortly after I had my son, I was breastfeeding so this was my only option. The only pros for me are its convenient, I'm a nurse and I just pick it up from pharmacy and inject myself or a friend from work does it for me then I'm good for three months, no remembering to take a pill. Cons have been constant bleeding on and off, longest being over 3 weeks straight. I have gained back all the weight that I did lose from having my baby and am now stuck at the same weight I was at 9 months pregnant, it's awful and embarrassing, I am constantly hungry like constantly and I crave sweets and chocolate more than anything. I also am sweating like crazy all the time."


"I am about halfway through my first pill pack and I am having pretty good success so far. This is my first time taking birth control but so far there have been no side effects and no real changes. Reading the reviews here had me worried but so far for me everything seems to be fine. I guess I'll have to report back in a few months."


"This medication did clear up my strep throat within the first couple days being on it. However the side effects were horrible. I had watery diarrhea for like 3 days, I always felt nausea after taking it even with food, and I had strong stomach pains. Also by the 4th day on it I had a yeast infection."


"I was on the pill (Yaz) for 3 years and it wasn't too bad but I am terrible at remembering to take it so I decided to switch to something more permanent for a while and I'm glad I went with Implanon. My period faded away within 2 months and I haven't got it since. Also, no mood swings or morning sickness like I used to get with the pill. My first month with it I lost 13 pounds. My metabolism has sped up and it's harder to gain weight so that was nice too."


"I hate nexplanon so much. After the first month of getting it everything was fine, but I started my period. It was a semi normal cycle for me and it ended after nine days. Three days after it ended I started spotting brown stuff. After a month of that I went back to the doctor to see if they could do anything and they gave me the pill to cancel out the spotting. After two weeks of taking the pill I didn’t stop bleeding so the doctor said take two pills and it finally stopped spotting. She said two days after you stop spotting stop taking the pills so I did. Then I got the heaviest period for 7 Days bleeding through 4 super plus tampons through out the day. I repeated the pill process and stopped and my period came back heavier."


"I started taking Belviq 1 week ago. I am on the 14 day trial. I have only lost a pound or two, but have not really changed any eating habits. The past two days my appetite has subsided a ton! I'm expecting a lot of weight loss this week. I had random headaches and dry mouth the first 4 days but those sides have subsided."


"Wow. It worked great. So easy to use and my kids hair looked and smelled awesome afterward. For me it was worth the copay on my insurance. Other moms I talked to had such a hard time with Nits. I'm so glad I called the doc!"


"First couple of days it was working well then I started noticing mood swing, insomnia, anxiety, anger, agitation on top of that lack of energy and a sore throat. It's ok but not worth all these side effects."


"Oh it's effective alright. I no longer feel manic. Instead, I feel like a brick wall. Like I am lost in a warp somewhere and I can't feel anything emotionally"


"I've been on lexapro for about 8 months now. It's been so good for me! I am 24 and female. I am no longer depressed. Before I first started, I was waking up every morning with suicidal thoughts. Now all of those thoughts are gone! I am so much more social! I can talk to anyone without anxiety, and I actually want to talk to people! I have more energy and have the urge to excercize and cook myself meals. These are things I wanted to do before but depression kept me in my bed feeling hopeless. There's hope! Depression is real. Don't feel weak for taking antidepressants. It can be the first step to getting out of bed and living your life how you want to live it!"


"Had a cat bite me on my hand...full set of teeth and sharp. Hand swelled and was red. Took augmentin 8 hours after being bitten and within 3 days swelling went down and redness had faded. 6 years as an animal control officer and never injured once...help my friend pick out a cat at the local humane society and get bitten...oh the irony! This is an excellent medicine for cat bites. Had a friend tell me her dad got bitten by a cat and he ended up in the hospital and almost died from an infection. Lucky me from my experience I knew to seek medical attention immediately. Anyone bitten by a cat should know they have about an 85% chance of infection and need to take it very seriously or you'll end up in hospital."


"took 20 mg for 10 days never helped at all. Couldn't tell I had taken anything."


"26 years old with previously regular periods, lasting 5 days. Cramped, but normal. I dealt with cystic acne during my cycle.  I had sklya
inserted  April 2015, so 6 month now. It was extremely painful. The cramps/pain/bleeding did not stop. It would come on suddenly/severely that it totally had me hit the floor in agony. MRI showed a cyst burst; I never had cysts prior to this. I continued to have horrible cramping/spotting throughout the months and especially during my period. Cystic acne increased to a level I have never experienced before. 6 months later, still horrible acne, period last @2 wks,with bad cramping, 2 weeks in between, and then the period begins again.
It is coming out! I waiting the 6 months, but this is not acceptable."


"I have been through so many different treatments for my depression and social anxiety. When I started klonopin I was rx'ed 0.5mg daily but it did not help very well so doctor went up to 1 mg daily. All of my other treatments left me feeling suicidal or extremely angry. This one lets me get through my day without panicking when I am forced into conversation. However, I have been informed that this will likely have to be upped or changed in a few years as people tend to become tolerant of the drug."


"This medication has helped me immensely!  I tried Lexapro, but had too many negative side effects.  Effexor took about 6 weeks to fully work, but it really brought me out of the depths of my anxirty fuelled depression.  I finally feel myself after many years of living in the fog.  The side effects for the first 2 weeks for me were: insomnia, increased anxiety/depression, hot flashes, and nausea.  These all disappeared after the initial 2 weeks and it's totally worth getting through that rough patch.  Once Effexor started working I thought, OMG! I'm back!  My body is dependent on it, though.  If I miss a dose, I get dizzy and nauseous.  Just know you must wean yourself off and not go cold turkey so you don't feel sick."


"Was started taking atenolol 25. It worked well for 7 days. Then i faced side effects. I have swollen right ankle, i came to know after 12 days its side effect of atenolol. Worse drug ive ever experienced.

Im back to amlodipine & its working well now."


Herpes Simplex, Mucocutaneous/Immunocompetent Host

"Stopped a lip breakout within an hour. I had gastric stasis from a migraine and I did not get nauseated from this medication."


"I started on Saxenda on Aug 28th (6 weeks ago) and I have already lost 30lbs. Started at 286lbs and I am now at 255lbs Just like many people I started at the lowest dose, slowly increasing it. Side effects have been mild. Nausea being the most common but only the first day after increasing the dose. Along with taking Saxenda I started a meal plan  too. I totally recommend it. Now that I feel lighter I am more motivated to exercise. Bought myself an exercise bike and use it 5 times a week for 20 minutes. I have a long way to go but super motivated to continue. Will try to keep updating."


"I am a nurse and I think Victoza is a great new medication . We have used it on all ages for type II diabetes. With great success, most patients love it! Of course there are a few that don't maintain the proper diet who have tried it and had no change. The main side effect was nausea, but worth a try. Good Luck !"


"I just got this inserted two hours ago and I'm hating life. As soon as I left my drs office I felt faint and like throwing up. Kept getting hot flashes. Called my Dr before leaving and went right back to her office. Still sitting here with awful cramps and the urge to pass out. Hopefully this ends soon! Took Advil before. No kids. It was painful getting it inserted. If you have awful cramps during your period I do not suggest getting this inserted and leaving right away after."


"The only good side was that it helped me sleep good. But couldn't even get up in the morning I was so drowsy still and felt hung over bad
Also I was very lethargic.
Like numb and I felt numb. Like crap
Almost like seriously depressed without depression state of mind
Horrible."


"I do not know if it works. All I can say is my woman parts are currently on fire!"


"I break the 25 MG tbs into THIRDS and take it about an hour before bed. I try to have at least 7 hours for sleeping.  More is better. Only feel groggy when my sleep time is less than 7 hours. Love it! I also use the generic versions."


"I've been taking Latuda for 4 days now. I woke up today singing, motivated and happy. I just hope it lasts but so far this medication has changed me dramatically."


"I've been on the nexplanon since May 2014.  At first it was great, I got a period like every 3 months, no symptoms hardly at all. This past year though has been hell. I've been having non stop bleeding. I will bleed for 2 weeks straight then it will stop and come back again the following week. Headaches every day, frequent yeast infections, no sex drive at all. Not to mention I've gained like 20lbs. I still have a year left but as soon as I can I'm going to make an appt. To get it out. I can't take it any longer. Only good thing I have to say about it is that It's really good on preventing pregnancy and no worries for 3 years. Other than that I wouldn't recommend it."


"This gets a 1 is because I'm not pregnant. What an evil, dangerous, terror stick!

I had it inserted Oct 2015 and have bled every day since (apart from 4 glorious days), never had acne before but I sure do now. I haven't gained weight, but that's because I haven't had an apatite at all and have had to force myself to eat most days.

New symptoms cropped up as the months went on: nausea, fatigue, incapacitating back pain, breast pain, stomach cramps, headaches, dizziness, brain fog, irritability and general over-sensitivity.

But the worst part is how I seem to have become a depressed, raging lunatic. My thoughts and mood are just scary.

Removing this evil thing tomorrow, just in time as I thought the culprit was my job and nearly quit."


"I have been on Lyrica for about three weeks and I feel that my experience may help. I have chronic nerve damage in my arm and sympathetic nerve damage. If you are about to begin the Lyrica ride expect the following. You will be living in a cloud. I noticed a few reviews explained it as that, and I feel they hit the nail on the head. You literally feel drunk. "


"Vimpat has been a great medicine compared to all of the other seizure medicines.  Vimpat has minimal side effects, and this is a HUGE benefit to me."


"it's a lot more mild than Ritalin and more effective than Focalin. The only problem i have with it would be weight loss (i'm 5'2" and only 100 lbs) and sometimes i can't react as quickly as i would without the medication. weird, but an awesome drug for any adhd or add college student. It instantly gets rid of fidgeting and you'll be able to listen and focus to the most boring lecture imaginable (and learn from it!)."


"I started taking this medication about four months ago combined with minocycline for my hormonal cystic acne. The first month I saw no improvement in my skin and abnormally lost 5 pounds. Now three months later my skin is finally completely clear but I'm facing a new problem: the medicine has caused me to gain 10 pounds in my thighs, butt, tummy, and breasts and has given me a yeast infection that has been on and off (mainly on) for the last four months."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I had been on Coumadin for over 10 years and thought Pradaxa would be a God send. However, within a few months of taking it I began to have bad stomach pain and digestive issues. My internist diagnosed me with a peptic ulcer and urged me to consult with my cardiologist about stopping the Pradaxa and going back on Coumadin, which I did. In the 3 months since I have discontinued Pradaxa I am still getting over the stomach/digestive issues (which I have never had before in my life) and am getting my blood PT/INRs back to normal as well."


"Great medication! Zero side effects so far, and it (along with Truvada) took me from a viral load of 65,000 to undetectable in just a month. This is a miracle drug for me."


"It works great while it is applied, but I feel it is too powerful of a treatment option for this condition due to the withdrawal my face has had while coming off it. Also, my rosacea comes up in different areas of my face that I have never had redness in the past. Lastly, I sometimes get a very subtle rash on my forehead while using it.

I spoke with my dermatologist and they suggested I stopped using it due to adverse reactions."


"I was on it for about 5 "cycles" which is about 15 months. After the first month I did not get my period anymore OR spotting. I have been off of it for almost a year and still haven't gotten my period. For me it was quick easy convenient, I had no side effects what so ever...except the WEIGHT GAIN. I started right after I had my daughter and I was about 215. I am now pushing 270 (don't judge). I fully understand the shot itself cannot make you gain weight, it just gives you more of an appetite but my god, that's a lot of weight in a year and a half. I am also convinced it messed with my metabolism but there's no medical evidence I can find to support that. It's also scary how strong of a dose of hormones it is."


"I was at Phase 3 of hypothyroidism and 150mg a day has halted all side effects of the disease eg., loss of hair, nails thinning, lethargy, etc."


"I've been on it for almost a week, side effects are not fun. I am so tired, irritable, dry mouth and walk around like a zombie. Dr appointment Friday. Not sure if I should continue. Good news is I can fully empty bladder now, still have urgency, and some pain when try to hold and get to bathroom.
Not sure if side effects will go away...."


"This was for my Guttate Psoriasis;
PROS: Easy to take and digest. No adverse side effects other than occasion so headache.

CONS: Didn't really work. Improved flaming and dryness but red patches are still there and still itchy/burning skin.

If you have mild psoriasis it may work but for anybody with moderate to severe I would be very doubtful. Let down as I was hoping it would be a wonder drug and it's definitely not. Some creams work better."


"I was a poster child for all the bad side effects of this medication.  I am now on clonazepam odt 0.25mg twice daily and feel like a human being again!"


"Wow! It makes all the redness and little broken capillaries literally disappear! I only have mild rosácea with some flushing. I've been using it for a couple of months. I'm so impressed!!!! My skin looks better than it has in years, and I can go light on my foundation or skip it!  I do feel a tingly sensation at times on my face, but it's worth the trade off for me. I'm very happy with Rhofade!"


"Cataflam is a miracle for my period pain. I have suffered for years and wouldn't be even able to walk a few steps with the horrible pain. I've tried everything from Meftalspas to spasmoproxivonne, Brufen, Panadol, etc.. nothing works. With Cataflam in just half an hour my pain is completely gone. I take it every 8 hours in my first two days."


"This drug was extremely effective at treating my psoriasis.  I have fairly severe Guttate psoriasis in which I develop small spots over large areas of my body (as opposed to one large, localized spot).  After applying Taclonex for only three days or so, the spots began to clear up almost completely.  There are no side effects that I notice with this medication.  The only negative involved is that the salve is greasy and difficult to apply.  I would literally spend twenty minutes applying it to all the small spots on my body twice a day.  That, combined with the fact that my whole body would be covered in a thin greasy film, led me to eventually seek out other treatment.  If these don't apply to you, this medicine is hard to beat."


"Once you are on this medication, DO NOT STOP. I tried a whole bunch of over-the-counter and prescription medicines for my facial acne but nothing seemed to work till I tried a combination of Tretinoin (.025%) and Clindamycin, both topical medications. A pea size amount of Tretinoin at night before bed and the Clindamycin lotion in the morning. For the first two weeks the medication seemed to work and my acne started receding. But then the acne came back, not as acute as before, but enough for me to notice that maybe the bacteria was winning the battle. Nevertheless, I stuck to it like my dermatologist recommended and within a few months my acne had spoofed away! I strongly recommend it. If the acne worsens, Be patient. Male-25"


"I finally found an alternative to Ambien in Silenor. My doctor prescribed me some and so far have been very very happy with the results. Full 7 hours of sleep without waking and the best part.. No daytime drowsiness and no addiction! Finally. It's about time. Silenor where have you been all these years?"


"I've been on nuvaring for almost 3 years and it has been the most convenient, with the least side effects. I've have lighter periods especially in the last yr or so. I know others say it helps with cramps as well, but my pain hasn't decreased as far as I can remember.

My husband says he feels it when we have sex, and when we get really energetic it tends to bruise him. I do find that the week before my period I get nauseous on and off during the day but that's may have nothing to do with the nuvaring at all.

Outside of that it's been a real awesome experience for me. No serious side effects."


"My husband started Harvoni on June 14, 2016. July 08, 2016 he died of an Aortic dissection and cardiac arrest. He saw his doctor regularly and had no signs of heart problems or high blood pressure. The doctor said that sometimes the Harvoni can increase your blood pressure. So please everyone, discuss this with your doctor."


"I've been taking this medication since Mar 2015. Started out on 75mg a day and found the side affects were horrible. Tiredness, dizziness.It just became to much and couldn't function. Doctor drop it to 50mg a day and my heart beat drops below 50bpm which is scary and blood pressure drops."


"I've had mine for a little over a year. Trying to schedule its removal. Never have had issues with depression, anxiety. And this past year I ended up in a mental hospital from severe depression, back in September. I'm on medication now, and it sucks.
Great on having no period. But I stopped having a sex drive, on top of the horrible depression. Needless to say, I did my research but never thought I would be one of the few to suffer with the depression side effect so strongly.

Wish I could rate it better but for anyone considering this as your form of birth control be aware of the side effects and the signs of them, before they become to severe."


"I have suffered from SEVERE PMS for years. I am a very positive upbeat person. I hate the fact that my PMS caused me such stress. I couldn't think clearly, would fly off the handle and nothing. My husband and children felt the effects of it each month. I just wanted to run far far away and jump out of my skin. I couldn't handle it anymore. After explaining this to my PCP, she thought Zoloft would help me. Advised me to take 25 mg for 7 days, then increase to 50mg. I'm not kidding you, after 2 days I saw a huge change. I finally had energy! It has been 2 months now and I never increased to 50mg. The 25mg did the trick! I no longer have PMS. I think clearer than I have in years. My mind doesn't race. I'm calm and I have my life back. Thank God!"


"Caused me to have very bad headaches. Light sensitivity. Dizziness."


"Of any generic, Endocet seems to work the best. I always request it when filling my prescription."


"Was on Gianvi for around 4 years, Age 20-24.  Worked great in the beginning when life was normal, but kept forgetting once life got busy. Decided to get an Mirena, but did not do the research because I know people leave crazy reviews and did not want to psych myself out. Went with Mirena over Paraguard because of heavy bleeding. Now I know better. Had an active sex life, but it had to stop because of the nonstop brown discharge, then the endless period. Been on it for 17 days. I really don't like it so far. "


"I wanted to comment on insertion. My IUD experience was awesome!! It took them 1 minute to measure and insert it. It did NOT hurt! It felt like a weird pressure in a strange place, but it was no big deal. I also relaxed a lot! I can imagine the only reason why it hurts for some people is because they don't relax!! My body did briefly faint because it was confused by something going in the cervix, but it was fine after that. I went about my day like nothing happened. I have not had children. They prescribed misoprostol and valium beforehand. I also took almost 500 mg of naproxen. Maybe that helped, but I'm always relaxed about gynocologist stuff."


"This works great for me. I've been on it for 3 years. Now I have 1400 T cells and my viral load is undetectable."


"My psychiatrist raised my dose to 3mg after 1.5 dose dose was ineffective. After 4 days, I have woke up delusional that goes away in 5 minutes. I don't know if it was the medicine or the mixture of it and the other medicines I take."


"Imuran greatly improved my systemic lupus erthematous (SLE) symptoms. I have neurological involvement and before this medicine my right foot was paralyzed. I can now walk thanks to this. I had blood work and all my values are normal now which was not the case before. I do not have any side effects either. It has been a lifesaver for me."


"I have had severe Plaque Psoriasis for 32 years. I am a 50 year old male. I have tried everything you can imagine over all those years. Even a 6 week program at The University of Michigan did not help the 85% coverage I have had since I was 18. Nothing worked until July of 2016 I had my firat Stelara injection. Within 3 months I was almost clear and almost a year later I am clear except for a couple spots under my fingernails.  It is a miracle to me. If you have lived with it you know what I mean."


"Awful experience on depo. Only had one shot - never again. Bleeding non stop for 3+weeks. Serious mood changes and anxiety. Total loss of libido! Been to the docs twice but nothing can counteract it so stuck with it making me feel lousy till it wears off. Do not recommend this contraceptive to other women. I would rather have be sterilised than feel the way I do !"


"I have been using Differin gel for about a week now and I can honestly say that this is THE BEST product that I have ever used for my face. I am 31 and I have had issues with breakouts since puberty. Within 3 days I noticed that my face was clearing up. Since this product is working so well for me I will have my 12 year old use it as well... I LOVE THIS STUFF"


"I got my IUD put in in March of 2015 after over a year of being on the depo shots. The initial insertion was pretty painful, but I was able to drive home and take some aspirin and lay around while the pain subsided after a few hours. I have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) and I wanted to try something that I could feel more like myself and have the least amount of side effects on. This has really been working out really great. I no longer have random pain that I used to get and the only negative that I have noticed is a lack of sex drive since getting it inserted, but I am going to the doctor soon to see if it is a side effect or if my hormones are off."


"I'm 31 with two kids and I always had regular periods.  I was on the pill for many years and decided to try the Depo shot.  I had some spotting but my period completely stopped after the 2nd shot.  It was very nice not having a period and taking a pill every day.  I didn't start gaining weight until the 2nd shot, and I felt hungry all the time!  I've always been a small person and maintained my weight without diet even having 2 kids.  I had 3 Depo shots total and went back on the pill because my weight kept going up.  I gained 10 lbs and haven't been able to get rid of it since."


"This medication is an excellent sleep aider, I'd compare them to temazepam for sleep, less dodgy and it does really help you sleep, I'm on 150mg a night and it does knock me out, I love this medication and I'd recommend this over benzo's ad zopiclone any day."


"After years of not sleeping because my mind never stopped. I tried over the counter sleep aids and they always made me wake up feeling like I still needed sleep even taking half doses. Ambien gave me nightmares.  My doctor gave this to me and I now sleep well through the night and I wake up rested.  My body aches are going away as well."


"I have been taking Mobic for approx 4 years now but (only on ocassions) to relieve arthritic symptoms from once a week to three times a week when chronic over this time span. Recently I have had a severe bout of Sciatica through both of my legs that started last December 2016 and I mean severe, I tried all sorts of pain relief e.g. panadeine 15 x 2 to help with little relief. Recently I had to administer a mobic to help with my arthritis and found it helped about 80% with my sciatica. I couldn't believe that this was the case so I asked my G.P. who said this may be the case as it acts as an anti inflammatory. I hope my findings helps others that why I wrote this blog. Take care. Chrismin. T."


"Had sex June 26th. Condom broke on us so I took plan b 15 minutes after our accident. I was supposed to get my period on July 6th, but ended up getting it one day earlier. I was stressing out the whole time since this was my first time using the product. The side affects I had were some cramps, tiredness, nausea, dizziness, and diarreah which lasted about a week. I was begging to think those were symptoms of pregnancy so I read many reviews to help calm me down. Thankfully it worked for me."


"I took BuSpar for a few days for Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but it cause a "tic" in my eye. My eyelid would flicker uncontrollably every once in a while. Apparently this is pretty serious, and can actually be permanent even after ending the medication, which was very scary. Luckily for me, the tic went away when I stopped taking it."


"I've been using Ortho Evra for almost 2 years, so far so good! I didn't get any of the initial side effects. The only thing its changed is some months my period is very light and I have less cramping. I have gained about 15lbs recently but that is probably due to my poor diet, or a combination of the two. Since this is the first major weight gain I've had since I was 16. (23 now).
The cost is only $30 per box and that's without insurance, so I will continue with the patch."


"I'm 47 years old never did good in school but managed. My wife has been saying I am ADD and spoke to my doctor about it so after a few months of office visits, I go monthly he said he's been watching my responses and wrote me Vyvanse 30mgs. All I can say is WOW finally everything makes sense I get things done no late afternoon crash its fantastic !! I have social anxiety very bad and this miracle drug took it all away !! I'm on my second month and higher dose just to 40mgs and its perfect !! I actually hugged my doctor on the following visit and thanked him for finally turning my light switch on ! I can't say enough about this miracle drug Vyvanse !! Now I can look forward to a new day instead of dreading having to get out of bed !"


"I have been on this medication almost a year and have been experiencing a lot of symptoms which I have thought was due to benzodiazepine withdrawal.

I experience grogginess, fatigue, Lightheaded, horrible Anxiety, depression, palpitations, tremors, bad dreams, brain fog, cognitive issues, unable to concentrate, I had nausea 3 weeks, dizziness, feeling weird in and around my eyes, felt mental, No appetite, constipation , stomach issues, fear, Weakness etc

I'm starting to wonder if visterel is causing this?!!!!

I take 50mg at night before bed And a doctor said I could take another 50mg if I woke so I have been and now I'm thinking all my issues are stemming from this junk!

I had some issues prior to medication but nothing like this!"


"I just started taking this yesterday. It's the first birth control pill since I attempted Yaz back in high school, so I can't really compare it to anything yet. Within two hours of taking the pill I felt extremely moody and paranoid, like I wanted to punch someone. I also feel dizzy and out of it. The nausea is a bit annoying. I think it will take some getting used to, it has yet to make me have any cravings, which is awesome."


"It took at least 5.5- 6 hours to work.  It wasn't until the second dose did mine start to work.  The taste was fine- drink it with a straw it really does make a difference!"


"I used these drops for my cat, who has a disorder called agenesis eyes. Worked immediately. Good product!"


"I'm twenty-five-years old and still suffer from mild, cystic acne. I did my research as far as using a contraceptive to combat acne goes and found that using a monophasic pill (which keeps your hormone levels at an even keel throughout the month), such as Sprintec, can sometimes be the best choice for young women. I've been on this birth control for about three months. It has cleared my skin like no other birth control pill I've used before. Another positive side effect as a result of taking Sprintec has been my breasts. I've gone up an entire cup size, with very little weight gain elsewhere. Cons: nausea. If I don't take the pill around the same time every day, and/or I take it on an empty stomach, this stuff makes me nauseous."


"I am taking prescription Zantac 150 and not sure if there's a difference to the over the counter one but I love this medication. I had missed a week of work from throwing up every little thing even a sip of water and would be stuck there for over 30 minutes and had previously been sick almost every morning and occasionally during the day but always felt nausea and heartburn. Have taken Zantac 150 with prescription meclizine 25 mg and was feeling better the next day. I still get sick from time to time and feel like I lose a weeks worth of food but isn't everyday and nausea and heartburn got less aggressive. Haven't had any side effects.  Totally recommend to anyone having stomach issues."


"It works perfectly. I have been battling with chronic constipation for far too long. No matter how much water, fiber or exercise I do nothing gets my bowels moving. Amitiza worked fantastic, I took three pills (one a day, as prescribed by my doctor) and went to the bathroom everyday for a week. Unfortunately, my doctor gave it to me as a test. My only complain is that Amitiza is far too expensive. Insurance does not cover it."


"I was prescribed Doxycycline (100mg per day) by my GP for acne rosacea, or papulopustular rosacea. I have tried other medications in the past both topical and oral without much success and so I decided to go to my doctor to request another referral to a dermatologist (waiting time is two months under the NHS) and he gave me Doxy til then.

Only been taking it about a week so it's too early to comment on its effectiveness but I haven't experienced any adverse reactions to the drug (thank heavens!). I will keep you updated on my progress and/or regress on the drug.

P.s. I only gave it 5/10 because I think at this point that that's a fair rating since it has neither improved nor worsened my symptoms and hasn't made me ill."


"Mucinex is a great product and works. I have a problem swallowing the pill. Why can't I break it or crush it? Why not a liquid form or smaller pills for adults? Not user friendly for peple like me."


"I have been on Victoza since Feb 15 and to date I have lost 41 pounds. I am 57 years old. I did not have a lot of the side effects that the medicine can cause. I try and eat high in protien lower in carbs and sugar. That seems to work for me. I treat myself once a week to ice cream or something of that nature. I still have a lot of pounds to go but I feel so much better, I have fibromyalgia and diabetes. My goal is to get off metformin and manage thru diet and exercise.    Much love everyone.....Rosie"


"I am 24 years old, female, 5'1, 130 lbs. Treated for major depression and anxiety. I have aversions to junk food (I am normally health conscious unless I am really depressed), weight loss (12 lbs), dry mouth, lighter mood, easier to focus, more motivated, mountains turn into anthills, lower sex drive, sometimes get headaches. For me, the pros overwrite the cons - I went off of this for 6 months with no problems. No addiction or sickness. I am back on it and boy am I glad to feel happy again."


"I have only been on Tekturna for 9 days. The effect was immediate. I am also on a calcium channel blocker (Tiazac) and hydrochlorothiazide. I was put on Tekturna because of palpitations experienced with Diovan (ugly drug in my opinion, same company produces both however). The palpitations were pretty bad on Diovan, 24 hour monitor by EKG etc. After a few days of substituting Tekturna for Diovan, there are no more palpitations."


"After 4 different medications, Zoloft has worked the best for me personally."


"Very helpful."


"With all of the advances in technology and research on medicines, I would hope someone comes up with an better solution / protocol.  This solution was horrible, and was the worst part about the whole situation of prep for a colonoscopy."


"I took Necon 7/7/7/ for a month and a half and it made my acne horrible. I broke out in places where I normally don't. It made me nauseous the first week or 2 then it got better. Overall the pill was fine just the horrible breakouts."


"I'd suffered for 30 years with both toenail and fingernail fungus.  My life was dramatically affected as I was never able to wear sandals or when I was barefoot for any reason, people stared at my feet in disgust.  When I was with clients showing them work on my iPad or iPhone, I had to hide my thumb or always wear a band aid.  I took pictures of my gradual transformation over a 6 month period of Terbinafine use.  It was nothing short of miraculous.  The confidence I have, the shame is gone and I am beyond thrilled with the results.  I tried every snake oil, holistic and old wives tale... I could hug every person involved in the creation of this medication.  So here's a verbal hug, mmmmmmm.  Thank you for changing my life."


"I got put on tramadol today for pain in my back after falling on the ice and hitting the cement stairs in front of my house. About ten minutes after I took it my back felt a lot better. I was not sleepy and I am able to function and get things done while taking this medication. It helps tremendously and I strongly recommend it to anyone who has to take care of children. This works because you don't feel "out of it"."


"I have tried all Four meds. Stendra, as advertised, has by far the quickest onset, usually within 20 min and full on in 30 min. Side effects are mild but it is also the weakest.

For me, Viagra is the strongest with Levitra close behind. Levitra had worst side effects. Cialis is different. Very mild side effects and long lasting. So they all have their place. If I were a single guy frankly I would carry a few of each. stendra if you are in a bind with short notice. Cialis if you need to pull an all night binge. As a married guy viagra is fine and don't be silly and try to hide it from your wife. Generic Rovatio is available ( same as Viagra). Very cheap, ask your doctor."


"I used the after getting grafts on my front lower gums from the roof of my mouth."


"I've been taking Diovan 165mg/12.5mg daily for the last 5 years, since I was 56 yrs old and 200 pounds without any side effects on my case. Maybe some impotence now that I read other comments, but at 61 yrs it is normal for men to no longer be that sexually strong."


"I have been on sertraline for 2 weeks now for anxiety/depression. It's certainly helped with anxiety, it stops that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. I do feel much more optimistic but I'm not out of the woods yet. I am hoping that after 4weeks of taking it (50mg once day) that things will settle even more. I struggle with over thinking/analyzing, letting my internal bully take over and being totally irrational. All of this causes severe anxiety and I lost a stone in 10 days. I'm having CBT as well which brings up a lot of raw emotion but I think (hope!) the combination of both will steer me through this."


"Not bad.  First started this when I was 17. I didn't like how it made my periods and cramps way worse but over the months it's calmed down. I did get some mood swings, I didn't gain weight but I always felt hungry, I would eat and then five minutes later feel like I'm starving. I always take the pill before bed so I didn't Notice any headaches or weird feelings. It did kill my sex drive though. I'm 22 now and I decided to try something else. As soon as I stopped the pills my sex drive came back so it's been great. I didn't get pregnant so it wasn't too bad."


"I am 33 and have Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Constipation. My bowels have a great habit of becoming immune to whatever medicines I try, so after Amitiza was my savior it no longer worked.  So my doctor gave me samples of Linzess. I have 2 major IBS problems: constipation and severe bloating/abdominal distension. I am giving Linzess a 7 for the bloating/distension as that is why my GI doctor gave it to me. As for the constipation, it gave me watery stools for a few days then stopped working. I've been on it over a month.  My side effects are - I have horrid sinus pain and pressure, constant runny nose drip, lots of fatigue, and decreased appetite. So my belly is a normal size now, but I have to have a tall bottle of magnesium citrate for a bowel motion."


"Very good. Have had it for 5 yrs. This is my renewal year and the replacement went well."


"This was my first time taking this prep, and my first colonoscopy. Taste wasn't the worst, but pretty gross. I chilled the mix, used a straw, and had Gatorade and lemon wedges handy. I think this helped a ton. Physically felt fine after first dose. I felt the effects about 1/2 hr after first dose. Second dose was definitely harder to take, I think from not eating and it being so early in the am. Overall, not too bad of an experience to take the prep."


"I have had my Kyleena in for approximately 30 hours, and I am very pleased with my decision so far! I am 19, and have never had any kids or been pregnant, so I feared that the pain would be unbearable. Overall, the insertion was super easy and I only had a tiny cramp during the whole process. I received numbing shots and took ibuprofen an hour before. I was able to immediately get up and ended up going to work about an hour later. Since then, I have only had a few minor cramps and some spotting. Overall, I am very happy that I didn't listen to some negative reviews and decided to go through with it! I will update if anything changes in the coming weeks."


"I am prescribed to take two 0.5 Xanax a day but in reality I only take it when I am having a panic attack or feeling very tense or unhappy. It works better for anxiety and tension then it does depression as far as I can tell, but then again I don't take it consistently. "


"This medication is an selective reuptake inhibitor for both serotonin and norepinephrine. I found it to increase my anxiety by a million due to the norepinephrine release. I don't understand how in the world this works for anxiety...it didn't for me. Good luck and for those it works for, God bless"


"I just had Skyla inserted this morning and it was not that bad. The procedure was about 2-3mins tops. It felt like a pap with a really bad cramp and then it was over. I took a 600ml iburprofen beforehand. Now I just feel mild cramping. Honestly, I siked myself out so bad thinking it would nearly kill me to be inserted, that I laughed when it was finished. Of course, everyone is different and I have had a child. But all things considered it was it was a simple procedure. Don't read into the horror stories. Being tense during insertion will only make it worse. Everyone is different."


"I've taken Lamictal since 2002 and combined with two other drugs, I've been symptom free from bipolar since 2002."


"Initial symptoms included brain fog, disorientation, and confusion. I took the lactulose for one week... all symptoms disappeared. However, I must advise you to stay close to the bathroom. Also, I should note that my physician said that I may be taking this medication for the rest of my life and I'm only 47 years old."


"Everyone's body is different so I was unsure of how mine would react, but I've had a pretty good experience with depo. I started the beginning of my junior year in high school because my periods were so bad that I would miss school because of cramping. Just taking regular Tylenol or ibuprofen wouldn't lessen the pain. So we decided to go and see if could try something that would help. And the Depo has been amazing for me. I don't have periods although for the first month and a half I did spot on and off. I do sometimes get small cramps but they are nothing like they were and they're only around the time I should be on. My moods are pretty good, I'm not depressed although I do get angrier a little easier. Best of all I've lost 10lbs."
