"I started taking Xanax at age 20 and it was a great medicine. I had such bad panic attacks and just constant anxiety 24/7.  I started out on a low dose and within 15 mins I felt calm and fine. I got from the place of not being able to walk outside or answer the phone to being able to get married, have a job, go on vacations. Anything I wanted to do. I WAS NORMAL.  But now I'm 36 and on the highest dose 4 mg a day and about 4 1/2 years ago my horrible anxiety came back even though I'm taking it.  I can't work, drive or really go anywhere anymore.  So I guess I'd say it works but then you may build up a tolerance and then it won't work. "


"I was 16 years old when I got my Implanon in May 2009. I am now rounding up to my 3 year removal period. I can honestly say I've never been happier with a birth control. I don't have to remember to do anything! I weighed 103lbs then; I weigh 107lbs to date. I would safely say that the Implanon did not cause the weight gain, that time did. I do experience breast tenderness around the time of my menstrual period (which by the way is regular.. 3-5 days a month) and that only lasts as long as the menstrual cycle itself. The one bad thing I can say about Implanon is that is has severely decreased my sex-drive. Overall I'm happy."


"I am 19 years old and I just got diagnosed this 2 days ago. Someone took advantage because I was drunk he began stroking and I jumped up about 2 minutes into it. He was a creep all the way around but that's the only person I've could've got it from and I'm positive about that. Now I can't get in contact with the boy and my life is torn apart. I honestly so upset about this because this pain is so unbearable it hurts, burns, and itches to stand up, sit down, walk, etc. when I urine it burns super bad, and I am in misery.   I can't deal with this for the rest of my life. I haven't even been showering because it burns so bad. I just started the meds 400 mg/8 hrs no progress yet though. Any suggestions???"


"After suffering unbearably for 15 years  from Fibromyalgia (including 6 years on disability for it). My neurologist suggested I read everything by Dr. D'Amato and try Mucinex.  We tried 600 mg twice a day for 6 weeks, no response, upped the dose to 800 mg twice a day for 4 weeks, a little better, then 1200 mg twice a day and it was a miracle.  I slowly regained a life again.  Throughout this time I also exercised about 1/2 hour a day, which also helps."


"I have Progressive MS and this makes the difference between transferring between wheelchair and toilet.  Prior to taking this my feet and knees were swollen and so stiff they would not bend."


"Conduced first exploratory use in June, 2013 indication cutaneous melanoma, Breslow/3mm.  Tilmanocept was well received by the patient with no local. Clearance delay provision <20 min. SLN discovery total <4 min/2 SLN/Path."


"This medication worked great at stopping my cough immediately. I was diagnosed with bronchitis but I think it is now pneumonia. A strange thing happened though. I noticed every time I took it, a few hours later I would feel like I had the flu. My skin would hurt and I would actually get a fever which I didn't have before."


"I suffered for almost 6 years with all ten toes badly infected. The sight was awful!!! I had to wear closed in shoes ALL the time. I took 3 months of treatment and seen a SIGNIFICANT change!! After 3 months of being off the treatment, I asked my doctor for another round because it is an extremely STUBBORN fungus!! Thankfully after that round, I now have normal, beautiful ten toes!! I had my 1st pedicure in years and I went sandal crazy shopping!! I don't know of any side effects and if there where any, it was nothing I noticed. I was afraid of the risks, but EVERYTHING is a risk!! This was a risk worth taking!!"


"Started to work RIGHT AWAY."


"My general doctor gave me Paxil when I told her I had been having panic attacks and anxiety. I started on 10mg and when I hadn't noticed a difference after 6 weeks she upped the dose to 20mg. I still have anxiety day to day, and feel the beginning of a panic attack a lot, but am not able to go through with it. Sex drive completely gone. All I want to do is sleep. Depression worsened. This is not for me."


"Unbelievable is all I can say! I could not have doubted this more, but after suffering night after night with horrendous back pain, I sat up at 3am searching the internet for some herb or vitamin I had dismissed the 100 other times I had sat up on the night in pain. I thought it sounded ridiculous, but no more so than anything else I had tried. I started with 1200mg and have remained on that and I feel better than I have in years. I urge you to try this. It has changed my life!"


"I was prescribed this medication and don't recommend it.  I had insomnia when I was on it, and 2 days so far after.  It gave me cramps, nerve pain, weakness/fatigue, lack of interest in doing anything.  Anxiety, spasms, and it feels like the veins in the left side of my head have swollen.  My left side of my throat and jaw stay mostly numb even 2 days off.  If you are seeking advice on high blood pressure just watch your sodium intake.  Most Doctors and Nurse practioners that I've had met just seem to be pushers for the pharmaceutical companies."


"I got my Skyla inserted this morning. I had to run in quickly due to my schedule, so I did not get a change to take any ibuprofen or even eat. The insertion felt like a very sharp cramp and lasted less than 30 seconds. But my body was shocked by it and I started feeling faint. Its alot to go from a 0 to a 10 so quickly! After the initial shock wore off it just felt like bad cramps. They went away when I took ibuprofen. The rest of the day I have just felt a deep soreness similar to sex that is too rough. Overall i'd say its not fun but not terrible! I am just praying for no side effects now!"


"It takes my colitis pain away and aids me in decreasing my flare ups but the side effects are lower back pain and tiredness. I only use when I have to."


"I have been on losartan for over a year and I have lost my eye site in rt eye .along with many more side effects .not taking it and lisinapril will destroy your kidneys .get something else."


"Didn't use protection since I had ran out. Me being ignorant I still kept on. Hours later my girlfriend decided she really wanted me to buy it. Me having no job and thay damn pill being so damn expensive I gathered money quickly and she took the pill 16 hours later. She was later for her period date. Very anxious we were dying. 4 excruciating days later her period came. This pill might have effects in different ways... Safe sex is the best sex.... Well it sucks but it's better than having a kid. Happy new years"


"I had an outburst with severe anxiety after I stopped another medication too soon. I love how this medicine keeps me calm and I sleep so good, I feel like a new person. I would highly recommend this product for it has helped me so much. I don't ever plan to go on anything else."


"I have lost 8.2 pounds with in the first 6 days. Prior to starting this sample kit it took me 4 weeks to loose 7 pounds. I take my injection at night and I have had very little nausea."


"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."


"I have found Seroquel to be an excellent option for individuals like myself who may have formed an addiction to the regularly prescribed sleep medicines.  I have suffered with insomnia for over 30 years. On this medicine, I have experienced sleep without morning grogginess; however there have been severe muscle jerks of my legs - more severe than my regular restless leg syndrome which I have already been diagnosed.  This side effect is why the medication is not rated at a higher level.  But I would rather have the muscle jerks of my legs than to go through the drug detox process again."


"Effexor has worked at times for me for my panic disorder, but has not gotten rid of my panic attacks. I've been tapering off it for months 150 to 37.5 ... Remember with Effexor almost everyone is going to suffer from discontinuation syndrome... or as many know it the "zaps".  Effexor's lowest dose was 37.5 mg now they make a 25 mg to help. I understand that getting off it is possible, but the reason for the discontinuation syndrome is due to the short half life of the medicine. Prozac at a low dose around 10 mg does help because of its long half life.  "


"Celebrex has helped me now for over 5 years. I have Arthritis in one old disc injury and pain in the next one. I have tried nearly all of them and nothing worked as well as this. Just don`t know how long to continue but I am only 49. I take 400 per day. "


"I started on Wellbutrin XL 150mg after severe depression set in after a traumatic life change.  I could feel a difference within a few days.  After 5 weeks I was still mopey but much better than I was before Wellbutrin.  My doctor increased my dose to 300mg and I felt much better within a week.  I have been on that dose for 4 weeks now and I feel good.  I need to take the advice of exercising while on it to see if it helps increase my happy mood.  Side effects were severe dizziness after standing up but that is now mild.  Night sweats, hot flashes and dry mouth for a few weeks but that went away.  Insomnia increased with dose increase, however, I do not feel overtired from getting less sleep (6 hrs a night).  I would recommend definitely."


"This medicine is awful. I originally started taking it for stomach cramps and regulating my period and I wish I never started taking it in the first place. I was on the second week of my third pack and felt AWFUL. Not only was I nauseous 24/7 I got headaches, cramps in my upper and lower back, side pains, chest pains. As well as a intolerance to gluten. At first I thought my stomach problem was from eating fast food but as I think about it I was nauseous the first month of taking this pill and it steadily got worse. I'm on my 2nd week off the pill and I'm going through serious side effects of my body trying to regulate itself. I've lost 6 pounds & my appetite. DO NOT take this pill."


"I went on Yasmine to get better skin for an upcoming event. It was the worst decision I could've made! My skin has never been this bad! My chin is full of cystic acne. Big and red and they leave terrible scars, I have now been taking them for 2 months and it only seems to be getting worse. I also have gotten some on my back, which I normally don't. Also I have had my period now for 2 weeks with terrible cramps every day!! Usually I only have it for a day or two. I feel decrease in sex drive and have felt low since I started taking Yasmine. So far these pills have only been bad for me but I do believe and hope that the side effects will linger off as I continue using them! Hopefully this is just a horrible transition phase"


"I was just prescribed Amphetamine/dextroamphetamine r 351 20 mg for ADD, the first day I took it at 11 am yesterday I felt extremely tense and uncomfortable the exact opposite of what I thought it was going to be then at about 12 am I had a very bad headache couldn't go to sleep until 4 am woke up and took half and just felt out of it all day no energy no increased focus  I was just wondering if anyone else is on the same drug ??? because all pictures of this drug online look orange and pink and blue which is kind of strange because I got it from a clinic not a regular doctors office . I don't even know if i want to take it tomorrow because of the negative side affects feeling kind of hopeless at this point hopefully someone has some info."


"I was plugged for more than a week. Tried Miralax, docusate, Milk of Magnesia, and fiber. Got nothing. Cause was opiates unbeknownst to me. Doctor said to try magnesium citrate.  45 min later all systems go. Been in the "oval office" off and on for a few hrs but I'll take it. I did not feel good before."


"Very good for pain and as a cough suppressant.  Doesn't seem to make me nauseous like codeine.  The only caveat is that it will make your prostate swell so you may get a burning prostate after extended use if you already have BPH."


"Just had gall bladder removed and then came the runs that won't stop for days. Started on Welchol and 30 mins later I was normal. It's great."


"I am not having complete bladder emptying based on ins and outs of liquid.  Is that a concern?"


"I had my first panic attack in June 2013. Thought I was going to die. Had them everyday after that. I couldn't go no where or do anything because I was so dizzy and scared. I went from June to Sept with no medicines. I was suicidal so I tried meds, First two days I was a zombie, no appetite. I felt weird but not like panic attack weird. I could tell a difference. I have been on my Zoloft 25ml since Sept 2013 and I am 97% better. I have my days where I feel weird but if you have severe panic attacks like I did you will know that even feeling 5% better would be nice so 97% is amazing! This medicine saved my life."


"You have to give it time to work. At the beginning I thought it was not going to work, but after 3 months was great. I have been on Viibryd for about 6 months, is excellent, don't gain weight and my sex drive is very high.. Excellent. Hope it works for you."


"I've been on Oxycontin for almost 4 years with a dosage of 40mg twice daily supplemented by hydrocodone 10/500 three times a day. My diagnosis is severe skelelatal trauma from a motorcycle accident and other car accidents. The oxycontin provides me with almost complete relief on a good day and makes my pain bearable on a bad day. The negative is the brutal withdrawl. I travel extensively for my job and take with me only what I need in a separate pill box. I carry a copy of the presecriptions with me. I had 22 oxycontins and 30+ hydrocodones stolen out of my luggage. I didn't want to ask for a refill early because I couldn't get either the airline or TSA to acknowledge the theft and did not want to be labeled a drug seeker."


"Do not do it!  I causes tiredness, mental fog, emotional instability, and depression. The thyroid is critical to mental function.  This med will cause you to behave in ways your find surprising. The problem is that this is a T4 only medication. Your body also produces T1, T2, T3."


"Been on Invokana for a week now. My blood sugars have been significantly reduced. I am also watching my diet, very low carbs. Still have not lost any weight, which was the reason why I was put on this medicine to begin with. My A1C went from a 9.9 to a 7.3 at last weeks endocirnologist appointment. I wonder if I should let this go for a bit longer. I had hoped to see some weight loss during this time, but haven't lost a pound. I have noticed only a slight increase in urination and haven't really been thirsty. Maybe it hasn't been long enough. Any ideas? Oh, and my insurance covered this right from the beginning. I didn't need the rebate card. That was nice."


"This is the only medicine that helps get rid of my sinus infections and it looks like that goes for a lot of other people too. This is the only antibiotic that I can take because I am allergic to so many others."


"Started taking Arimidex in June and have lost 45lbs. Vomiting and diarrhea have left me homebound. I keep starting and stopping this pill. Oncologist thinks I'm crazy, but when I stop the pill the vomiting and diarrhea stop. Just stopped taking it before Christmas and I'm feeling so much better. Have had two lumpectomies and a mastectomy. Don't want the cancer to return, but the side effects are too much for me."


"I have had a recurring scabby skin infection.   Primary care physician prescribed this, did not work, then went to dermatologist, re-prescribed still does not work.   It was first thought that condition is Impetigo.  I am now waiting on the 2nd lab test.  Feeling hopeless and frustrated."


"After many trips,to the GP and hospital with stomach pain and severe toilet issues I was prescribed Questran light being a ground worker sometimes no toilets close by is not a problem anymore. A great medicine. I have no side effects."


"I've had severe psoriasis since I was about 10 (18 now). It covered my entire torso, back, scalp, forehead, and arms. I literally tried EVERYTHING but found things worked for a very short period before it just all came back. Originally I was on enbrel but I really couldn't handle the pain of the injections, so I couldn't keep taking them regularly and so eventually they stopped working. Humira for me, although still painful, was much more bearable than enbrel. It took a couple of months to work but now my skin is completely clear and I've never been happier. Of course, the down side is that if it continues to work I'll be having the injection for the rest of my life, but for me this is a small price to pay for the amazing results it's given"


"Pain is decreased as well as time of breakout. Best stuff ever but very expensive."


"I used samples of Relistor first. Although it caused massive abdominal pain for 30 minutes to an hour, it worked. Unfortunately it costs $2,000 a month & my insurance won't cover it. On to Movantik. Side effects are HORRIBLE. MAJOR withdrawal symptoms. Severe sweating, shaking, going from extremely hot to teeth chattering cold, yawning 50 times in a row, heart palpitations, massive abdominal pain, skin feels like it's crawling with sharp objects for hours. When I say hours..I mean 12-15 hours after my dose. Which was dropped from 25 mg to 12.5 mg. I have a bowel movement after taking about 20% of the time.
I don't have a lot of choices though. In 2012, my colon ripped in half. I was in critical care, trying to not go through that hell again"


"This medication did nothing for my pain. Had to stop taking Ultram after 5 days due to extreme agitation."


"12.5 mg helps with sensations of dizziness, spinning, balance problems, but makes me unable to function for 24hr. Very drowsy. I am 5.5, 106lbs."


"Creates only a soft erection; not enough for intercourse.
I have mentally separated ejaculation from intercourse because what I primarily want is the sense of "oneness" with my mate.
With a MUSE injection I feel a sort of pain, which also is felt in my ankles and lower legs.
It's pretty useless for me. Does give a soft erection for a short time."


"I switched to Xulane from Mirena. I am on my second week. I am so nauseous and my face has broken out badly. I feel tired all day, I'm simply miserable. I'm constantly eating. I actually miss my Mirena. I'll try to stick it out a little longer."


"I have been taking this medicine (25mg) for a little over two weeks. I have to take it 13 hours before I want to wake up. If I take it right before I go to bed, I will sleep for 12 hours. I also am very tired throughout the day, and it is common for me to take a 4 hour nap (just to make it through the day). I believe it has helped my headache in that I am sleeping so much I can't feel the pain anymore."


"I started this medication after switching from quetiapine for Bipolar 2.  I have so much more energy on this medication, I have lost weight and it has levelled out my mood considerably (my usual mood state is low, but I do cycle a couple of times a year).  During initial titration I had trouble sleeping, dry mouth and digestive bleeding.  But these have lessened over time and I use laxatives and synthetic saliva to ease the side effects.  Overall I'm very happy with this medication."


"I've been taking Clearlax a little over a week now. I kept complaining to my wife for years about bowel movement troubles. She told me if I'm having so much trouble to buy some Miralax. I found Clearlax with same ingredients as Miralax. Anyway, my constipation was driving me crazy and painful. I was having trouble with hemorrhoids, stomach cramps, bowel movements and etc., you name it. I no longer use Preparation H, and feel great. "


"My Healthcare Provider switched my 20mg daily dose of Lexapro to Zoloft. I was to completely stop Lexapro and begin Zoloft with a dose of 200 mg daily.

That was 6 months ago.

I am not having a good experience with Zoloft. My dosage was adjusted down over a period of 3 weeks to 50 mg.

My mind was constantly whirling with anxiety, my mood was total chaos, swinging from depressed to mad.

My alcohol consumption was increased both by quantity and frequency.

My appetite increased in the frequency of hunger and the amount of food I consume, but I never seem to hit the full feeling.

I am seesawing between 100 to 200 mg daily at this time, trying to totally stop Zoloft.

Main reasons; weight gain (30lbs in 4 months ) &  increased alcohol craving"


"I have been taking this for two weeks now, the initial side effects as my body 'got used ' to it have been horrible. Feel sick don't feel hungry, pupils are oddly dilated, can't sleep, feel tired and energy less, no sex drive at all, dizzy, headaches etc. My joint pain is pretty much gone and so is my anxiety but I'm really not sure which is better at the moment!"


"I am a 21 year old college student and first went on a hormonal birth control (lutera) when I was 18 to help with irregular periods--and after almost a month on it I was a raging hormonal maniac. I was too traumatized for awhile to look into other options and then I thought a non hormonal IUD would be the solution to my birth control woes. My first insertion went relatively smoothly--I psyched myself out before hand but it was just uncomfortable, not painful. Unfortunately 3 months after insertion the IUD partially expelled. A month later I had a new one put in which I've had for a year now, and though I still get painful, heavy periods with some spotting between (a trade off I can handle),I really am happy with my decision to get ParaGard."


"I have had acne on and off for around 5 years now. I am a 22 year old male. I moved to Dubai and it got gradually worse over time. I started taking epiduo for around 8 weeks and it helped a little. I then came off it due to my skin my being pretty sensitive. My dermo prescribed me Tetralysal and Differin. Now the differin is very delicate on the skin in my opinion. I have taken for around 2 and a half weeks. I am currently going through the initial breakout and its bad. My general skin tone is tonnes better but we will have to see!"


"I have been on Requip for over a year now and it is a God-send. Requip has saved my life. I don't have any of the side effects (sleepiness, etc.) associated with Requip, thank goodness, but it does let me sleep at night.  I asked my doctor to prescribe it for me and she had never heard of Requip until I told her about it.  Surprise!  I will be on Requip forever until science figures out what causes RLS.  I highly recommend Requip to anybody who has RLS.  Side effects for me - none whatsoever, just a good night's sleep for a change."


"I had the Skyla inserted today. It is a smaller device than the Mirena and has less hormone.

My gynecologist was amazing and the entire procedure was minutes long. I had it inserted during my period. This was not required, the scheduling just happened to fall on my period.

It felt like a routine pap until she dilated my cervix, which elicited some pain. I actually thought that was the Skyla being inserted.
She then inserted it and it felt like a very sharp stab. It definitely was painful, but not enough to cause tears.

I had fleeting mild cramps for the next 30 or so minutes and now 7 hours later, I feel great.

Prior to going I took three 220mg Aleve.

I have high pain tolerance. "


"This pill does what a decade of therapy failed to do and it costs WAY less. I had to take a speech class for college--a class that i'd been putting off for yrs (had already failed once due to anxiety).  My dr prescribed this when i mentioned what happens when i have to do any kind of public speaking (my flight or fight response goes through the roof and i can barely speak my voice gets so shaky).  Did i still get nervous? Yes, but it makes a HUGE difference because not only did it eliminate the whole racing heart and shaking voice thing but it actually made me more confident cause i knew no matter how much my speech sucked that i'd be able to deliver it cool as a cucumber. FYI chewing a small dose 5 mins before makes it fast acting!"


"I had this put in a little over a year ago. Wanted something long lasting as I knew I didn't want kids for a while (I was 17) and I can't take pills during Basic Training. No period for a year. A month ago my breasts started swelling up terribly, I gained about 7 lbs, and I become very moody. (Thought I was pregnant) This could be because I just graduated and am training for 5 months very soon, but I think the bar is mainly to blame. My period started yesterday-heavily. I haven't had it for 14 months. I think it's still worth it though (my insurance covers it). No real responsibility and time without the period was nice. "


"Helps well with my anxiety as well!"


"Started taking this drug about 3 months ago. It took about a month to completely clear up my chest and back acne. It had a significant effect on my facial acne. The cysts only last a couple days now and my face is noticeably clearer. Very happy with this result! The only side effect I personally am not super happy about is the weight loss. I am 5'8" and usually 125-130 pounds. Three months into this drug I now weigh 114 pounds and feel very tired all the time. I have tried drinking more water than usual and have increased my sodium intake which is helping with the light headed-ness. Otherwise I have not changed my eating habits and the pounds keep coming off. Not sure how to combat this beside stuffing myself."


"My son was started on abilify after 11 years on zyprexa. First he was zombie like and now a year later he is paranoid, delutional and a lot of cognitive deficits .Worst drug ever!!!!"


"The Ativan gave me relief from the anxiety that was caused by and affecting the Dystonia. However it didn't treat the Dystonia itself and I ended up having to up my dose all the time and eventually quit taking it because I realized it wasn't treating the root problem."


"I been on this pill for a week today and have lost 5 pounds. I think is great I just want time to go faster. 45lbs more to go."


"When I was a kid I had extremely severe 'hayfever' and it continued into my 20's when a doctor prescribed nasal Intal.  It cured me.  Now in my 60's I've recently developed asthma.  It seemed that the cold aggravated it, even the cold in the frozen food sections of supermarkets.  I'm on Ventolin and that is okay. I was prescribed Symbicort, (both powder and aerosol spray) but my throat ulcerated so now have been prescribed Intal 2 puffs twice a day. I'm hoping this will work as good as it did for my 'hay-fever'!"


"It works so well that it doesn't seem real. I only use it occasionally as needed. This morning I woke up and could not breathe through my nose at all.  I tried blowing my nose, but with no result (it wasn't nasal congestion, it was swollen nasal passages). I used Flonase and within an hour I could breathe normally again. I know it doesn't always work that quickly for people and I'm surprised that it did for me, but it really is an awesome product."


"I have been on this medicine for four days and I am completely amazed at the difference in my life. I feel SO much better! No more anxiety or depression, I sleep like a rock and I wake up feeling refreshed and optimistic, whereas before I woke with anxiety or depression and even invasive thoughts nearly EVERY morning.  So far, so good! Hot flashes are greatly reduced, but I am most surprised by my change in mood. Family doctor wanted me to try one SSRI after another, while my OBGYN gave me the Duavee. I am only 46 years old yet haven't had a period in probably a year. I had NO idea that my horrible anxiety and depression were hormone related. I literally feel like I've been given a new lease on life. I feel 10 years younger!"


"I am 17 years old, sexually active and was first on the normal birth control pill but my doctor suggested me to get nexplanon /implanon. When she told me how easy it was to not have to worry about taking the pill every single day and be protected for 3 years i automatically said of course! i read bad reviews and all but i still decided that i preferred to stay safe and I am not the typical side effect person, after a week my mood COMPLETELY changed! I use to go to the gym every single day at 5 in the morning before school which was at 7 am then et out of school at 3pm to go to work at 4 and get out at 10!I was always so busy and active and loved to work out, after this stupid nexplanon i have been the laziest and had my period for 2 months!"


"I had complications after surgery to remove infected mesh after hernia repair.  I was diagnosed  with an illus and given oral laxatives and glycerine suppositories all to avail.  The trapped gas pains were excruciating. My nurse suggested a fleet enema to get things moving.  I got relief within minutes.  The enema was repeated and I was completely pain free.  Wish I was given an enema sooner."


"Works great for pain (bulged disc, popped out AGAIN after the surgery November 2009) and yes, it does wonders for my anxiety. "


"I'm on day 7 of chantix and I have to say, I feel great!  Energetic, positive. I'm very sensitive to medication and was a little weary, still am. I make sure to take on full stomach and a full glass of water. Not a single side effect. After 3 days, I've noticed that I'd go several hrs and not smoke, which never happens with me. I smoke at least a pack a day. I find that I have to remind myself to smoke or when I see someone smoking, I think, oh yea, have a cigarette. The cravings are all but gone. It's simply habit now. They even taste bad. I've decided to make my quit day after the dosage doubles. Just to be sure. I don't see it being a problem. Highly recommend. Also, the website has a 'co-pay' system to help with the cost."


"I started to get anxiety and panic attacks when I was 24. I am now 30. I have tried multiple of medication for anxiety, bi-polar,depression etc... I was getting the racing thoughts but worst of all was the womp feeling you get it's hard to explain. I was on benzo as well and nothing helped me. Psychiatrist, group talk but your the only one who knows what you feel others do not understand it. I have always been a deep person and would think way to much. I got out of that stage on my own. Trust me it sucks i still get "crazy" but on Paxil it really helped me I only take Paxil nothing else. You name it I was on it schizophrenia meds as well. I understand when people say I can't get up I can't go out. Just try it all are different!"


"This is the best medicine that I have taken for my condition. I took it for years because of Narcolepsy mainly but have a shortened attention span also. Never had a problem with it. Never needed to increase the 10mg dosage per day. With my doctor retiring and new doctors obsessed with Provigil I've had nothing but problems in all directions. From my prescription plan not wanting to pay for the 800 mg per day that I need to take to the performance of the medicine. I also have to take 36 mg of Concerta. "


"I started using this about 5 weeks ago.  I noticed the difference in the way I felt within a day or two.  I was able to focus and concentrate again!  I've gotten even better as the weeks have gone by.  I was still feeling very tired after three weeks so my Doctor added Wellbutrin with the Zoloft and now I feel great!  Zoloft works...in some cases you may need an additional medicine, not always."


"After very unsuccessful attempts with Lexapro and Prozac, I started on Effexor XR 2 months ago. Really suffered a lot to have my system adapted to it in the first 5 days. After that I had 2 wonderful weeks.  It has helped me a lot with panic attacks I used to have (specially dizziness and balacing issues),  butI have started suffering with huge stomach pains. I thinks those are related to effexor."


"Fanapt is the first medicine we've tried where I can function because of the medicine. I can hold a job now, the paranoia is wayyy down, and I only get a few hallucinations throughout the day. My mind isn't quite as sharp, and the dry throat gets pretty bad, but other than that, this drug has saved my life. I've been on it for 8 months now."


"Taking my first dose of Saxenda tonight. Hoping I don't get the awful nausea and heart burn that I have read on some reviews."


"Been taking 200mg for 4 years and also 2mg clonazepam.  Only problem was when I first started I would sleep walk.  One time I was downstairs taking down the blinds in the family room till my wife woke me up.  No problems anymore."


"I found this medication very good for my bipolar depressive episodes. No side effects, and as I take it continuously it helps prevent recurrences of my down cycle."


"After 7 years on Zoloft, it had stopped working. I was experiencing mood swings and sadness/depression. My doctor weaned me off Zoloft and prescribed Wellbutrin. The first few weeks I immediately noticed an increased sensitivity in all my senses. There was kind of a wind tunnel effect in my ears, my body was more sensitive to the touch (great for sex life), I became hyper-sensitive to noise/vibration (a negative) and I had a keener sense of smell (not always positive). I had trouble getting or staying asleep. I stayed on it for six weeks, but when my fuse got shorter and I became very hostile and angry, I was weaned off of Wellbutrin and changed to Celexa. It's been 2 weeks and so far so good."


"My stomach was not bloated and my intestinal tract was functioning as it never has before-I felt more alert, less tired and sluggish and even lost some weight.  I am very upset that this was taken off the market."


"It has really helped me right at the most important time to calm down and not bother with severe drinking."


"I have had Implanon for 3 years now and I'm getting it removed in November and I honestly love it just in this last month I've had heavy periods its was awesome. I love it."


"Do NOT get an IUD. Got inserted on 10.9.17. Even after taking 4 ibuprofen to prepare for the pain it was excruciating for 4 days. I ended up going to the ER. Mind you, I’m 8 months post baby so it shouldn't have hurt that much. Side effects: cramping/pain, mood swings, back pain, vaginal infection...which I just found out after a month of having this thing in I have BV. I literally just pulled it out on my own since my Dr. refused to remove it and kept convincing me to keep it in just because my side effects are slightly better. DO NOT GET AN IUD. Remember, Drs. profit off of RX’s. I refuse to suffer for longer than a month. The infection was the last straw which I KNOW the IUD caused because I was tested during insertion and was negative."


"I have severe sinus problems all year long, but worse in the fall. The pressure pain is almost unbearable. My doctor has prescribed everything under the sun to help relieve the symptoms and nothing works better than Mucinex D. I never have any drainage with my sinuses...just the pain/pressure and I can get almost immediate relief after I take 1 bi-layer tablet (1200mg guaifenesin and 120mg pseudoephedrine).  The medicine says it has an immediate release layer that works quickly and it does.  Then it has an extended release layer that works over the next few hours.  I also have the side effect of insomnia, but it's so worth it to relieve that sinus pressure (those of you who have it know what I'm talking about!)."


"I get diarrhea all the time since I was 12 or 13. I take a lot of meds, and a lot of food I can no longer eat. This medicine works right away for me. I am now 67 yrs old. I only use it if the diarrhea lasts for more than two days."


"I started having extreme joint pain almost overnight and was like that for over 2 weeks.  The Doctor put me on Celebrex, 2 pills 2 times a day for 5 days with 1 pill once a day since.  I feel so much better and no side effects, not even an upset stomach. I'm so happy there is a pain medication that is not a steroid or narcotic."


"I am in shock as to the MIRACLE of Olanzipine. A 2 year severe depression, with extreme anxiety, insomnia, and paranoia DISAPEARED the first week on this medicine. Before, my depression was so bad, I stopped brushing my hair, I could barely function, my sadness so profound. After 1 week on Zyprexa, I am finally back to myself, taking good care of myself, sadness is 90% gone, smiling again!"


"I was 34 years old before being diagnosed with rare epilepsy. I have seizures 1/16 of a second out of every minute. I knew nothing about this disease, my doctor tried many therapy plans. I finally had to go into hospital - there I got dilantin through a drip. I told my doctor it seemed be working. I have been taking 10 a day ever since. Thanks it has made my quality of life much better."


"My whole reasoning to get on birth control was to help my miserable cramps, and periods. Saying that it was my first time on birth control, my midwife and I decided that the Nuvaring was the best route to go. I put it in the first day of my cycle, and I bled for three days (I have a five day cycle). I was so excited to have no cramps, and a short period. Then, about a week later I started getting horrendous cramps, even worse than my period cramps. The cramping wouldn't go away, along with the cramping - my skin changed from silky soft to desert dry, and I was extremely itchy all over my body.  Come to find out, I was actually allergic to the Nuvaring. Some other symptoms that I got with the Nuvaring were zits, hunger, and moody!"


"I just recently got off of this birth control after 9 months because I was almost constantly bleeding. My doctor told me I was "free bleeding" because of this birth control. It may be effective, but I do not want to be on my period more than I'm not,"


"So, back in the day I started with Wellburrin, Lexapro, Zoloft etc...tried it all and nothing was working. Finally my doctor switched me to Trentillex. There wasn't really any side effects when first starting. After about a month and a half, I finally felt something. The darkness went away. The despair, anxiety, and gripping hell that kept me from getting out of my own bed. It's all gone. As if it was lifted before my very own eyes. Life is great now. I'm truly happy for the first time in years. Please, give this a try, push through the side effects, and see what you feel like after 1-2 months. It's a small price to pay for a better life."


"I have taken TOUJEO for 1&1/2 years now I have broken out with a rash & itching over my entire body for the past three months. Told my doctor he said that can't happen with insulin.  I've been to three doctors  all tell me the same. I STOPPED TAKEN TOUJEO The rash is starting to clear but it is slow in clearing. there is nothing that helps. ."


"Very good medication for panic attacks and severe anxiety. Works fast."


"Asked my doctor for 3 years to blood test me for low T. Now its popular he finally did. It was 100. I've always been overweight, very hard for me to lose weight. Dr. Gave me fortesta. It did not work for me. It gave me large itchy rashes on my thighs. And raised T level only to 200. I went to my urologist and asked him for testosterone cyponate to inject. Now 1 1/2 years later my T level is 350 to 900 depending when injection and blood test . I've lost 100lbs, I'm horny like a rabbit now. And I never was that horny. All of my numbers are where they supposed to be with blood test every 3 months. So if guys are in a similar situation, injection is the way to go. Unfortunately your testicles will shrink."


"I have severe panic attacks and bipolar. I used to be on Xanax for six years. Now my Obamacare new Dr refuses. Klonopin doesn't help my panic attacks. A little calm but makes me very angry and mean. Not as strong as Xanax. Doesn't help anxiety attacks, takes too long. My heart still races."


"Ok this is where i am after two weeks. I'm turning 54 one of these days, Managing Director of my company and self diagnosed with ADHD about a month ago. I matched ALL the criteria. Went to see a doctor and he confirmed my suspicions. I relayed my struggles with studies at University and he referred to me attaining two degrees a 'miracle, I cannot begin to explain how difficult studying was not to mention having to sit through hours of lectures. There was no - and I stress - NO filter between my brain.mind and my mouth. Anger,profanity and impulse behavior was only curbed by my life-long ability to be able to fall asleep anywhere, anytime. Imagine an alien being in charge for 53 years. It's all gone. Why did no one help me with this before?"


"I didn't want to take hormones for hot flashes but the hot flashes were bad enough that I was going to try hormone therapy anyway. My family doctor suggested fluoxetine or Prozac for hot flashes. I had never heard of taking an antidepressant for hot flashes before so I studied before saying yes. It started working after just a few days. I have occasional hot flashes that are milder than before an way way less frequent. 20 mg is the dose that works for me. I tried reducing to 10 mg for a few months but it didn't work as well as the 20 mg. I have been on this for 16 months now. On the flip side it has also helped with some anxiety issues I didn't realize I was experiencing. : )"


"I got the nexplanon implant because my periods would come with extreme cramps that put me down for 4-5 days. I would sleep all the time and couldn't help but to cry because I was in so much pain. So, my OB suggested a birth control and I heard really bad things about the depo shot so I didn't want that & I hadn't heard anything bad about the implant. So I went with it rather than the shot.

I had the implant for three months. In the time that I had it, I had nothing but horrific migraines, cramping and I bled for 3 weeks, stopped for 6 days, & now I've been bleeding for 30 days. I've had a headache since 2-1-16. I am an emotional wreck. I cry at the stupidest things and I get upset over nothing. I highly recommend not getting this implant."


"I began taking this in April after a suicidal episode. I started at 30mg and noticed the effects immediately. I suffer from social anxiety and clinical depression. Constant worrying and panic attacks. The first thing I noticed was that it became easier to let go of worrying thoughts. e.g. if I embarrassed myself usually I'd ruminate until I became depressed, once I started duloxetine the bad thoughts were out of my mind almost as soon as they came. This made life a lot easier for me, day by day my symptoms disappeared. It is now August and I am on 120mg the maximum dose. Its wearing off as my mood is starting to slip, but I can honestly 100% say that for the past 5 months I have been cured. Duloxetine was the best thing to ever happen to me."


"My Dr told me to drink it down with water and then eat yogurt or probiotic an hour after each dose and I never got sick and she said if you don't drink enough water you will get the runs , so I drank tons and never got it , I am too happy .I had been suffering for two months."


"I suffer from degenerative disk disease and I've had surgery for this twice in my lifetime.  I am only 43 and already on Disability.  I have tried taking Ultram/Tramadol for my back pain and I feel absolutely NO relief when I take it.  I even got brave and took 2 at a time for a day (my normal dose being 50mg every 8 hours).  Still nothing.  I've had at least three different doctors recommend or prescribe this to me over the last 4 years and have never once had it lower the pain in my back.  I am glad to hear that it works for a lot of people, I just wish it would work for me."


"Epitol has helped me immensely. It pulled me out of a manic phase (after withdrawing from lithium, which didn't work) and has helped me from going into a deep depression."


"Been on Opana now for roughly 1.5 years.  Stool movement is difficult and most of the time you feel bloated.  With that being said, pain is not problem with current medication.  2x 20mg ER (Morning, Night) with 4 x 10mg IR for break through pain.  I have L5 S1 area problems.  Sweats are also difficult at times in heat.  "


"I am on this medicine since 5 days , zero side effects, I got confused after reading all the reviews about nausea , disineass and all others so called my physician and said this is very normal and depends on people , will continue and write another review in a while"


"Great..was a life saver"


"I started Levaquin four days ago....noticed that I couldn't sleep the first night.  I have a sinus infection with a bad cough.  The cough has improved, but still have drainage and eye pain.  I asked the doctor for sleep medication which he gave me so I have no problem with that now.  Eating lots of yogurt and taking probiotics and drinking lots of fluids.  Still, the infection may not respond to this antibiotic as I have had the infection on and off for several months.  Used this antibiotic as a last resort.  Hopefully, it will clear up soon."


"I have Ankylosing Spondylitous and  have suffered for 30 years with muscle spasms the whole time. Ive been on Soma for 12 years (2 a day) and have had tremendous relief. It allows me to work and contribute like a normal person. Nothing else works like this and now as of 10/01/16 my health care provider will not prescribe it anymore! All because a few knuckleheaded people abuse it and end up addicted. Now Im on a journey through all the other muscle relaxers to find something that will work like Soma. Just got my first round of something else that look like horse pills that I have to take 4x a day. Wait, I thought change was a good thing....................................Not so much in this case."


"I found this medication to be the best.  I could wake up in the morning without the phlegm in the back of my throat.   This was the only medication that helped.  Why was it discontinued???  The medicine my doctor has given me now does nothing for me."


"I Relapsed on Alcohol after being Sober for 15 years .. I was having a tough time getting back on the wagon... These pills helped."


"I was having frequent migraines to the point where it was making me hate life and cry all the time. I was scared to take it but it worked within two minutes. If you are scared and feel hopeless try this medication it will literally save you from the drowning that migraines can make you feel. Its the only medication I can say that is truly magic."


"I have been on several medications (citalopram) & after 6   years it simply stopped helping my anxiety. It made me tired, foggy & spacey anyways. I had a hard time being sharp at my corporate job. I then got off of anything and was just ok for 7 months. Then my spouse almost died and it sent me reeling into depression & severe anxiety. I was paralyzed with fear. I couldn't get my work done, cried all the time, had major anxiety. I was afraid to try anything due to the fear of being tired, foggy or dull. Started 30mg Cymbalta. It helped me within 3 days. First 3 days was nauseous. After 2 weeks I was no longer depressed, no catastrophic thinking or panic attacks. Wish I had tried 10-20 years ago! It has turned me around. Not foggy or tired!"


"The information helped me alot."


"After the birth of my son in June 2011, I started Lo Seasonique. Before the birth of my son, I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen and loved it with no problems. I only stayed on Lo Seasonique for one month due to a flow like a heavy period on an almost every day basis. It stopped for two weeks on the second month, and started again very heavily with severe abdominal pain and cramping. The only reason I wanted to try LoSeasonique was for the "fewer periods" purposes. After trying LoSeasonique for a three months (one pack), I have discontinued the use and will be going back to Ortho Tri Cyclen!"


"I was on Yaz when my phaamacy switched me over to Gianvi about 4 months ago.  I have AWFUL anxiety and depression about almost everything.  I have also had a lot of changes to my appetite but have ended up losing 15 pounds because of my anxiety.  I cannot wait to switch to a different birth control."


"I got nexplanon inserted in September 2015 and loved it the first few months. My period lightened and it worked well as birth control (I haven't gotten pregnant). I noticed some weight gain and mood swings but I thought it was worth it for not getting pregnant. But in March 2016 I started having a constant, light period. I have now ended up having to have the nuvaring to help with the bleeding and I'll be getting the nexplanon taken out soon."


"i have been using since the first week of August and now its October I see improvement but I still have scars and get pimples here and there and all my breakouts are gone and hopefully after 12 weeks I see more improvement."


"I thought that this medication worked very well, but it didn't work as fast as it hoped it would but other than thst my experience was good."


"I was having suicidal thoughts really bad before taking sertraline.  I also used to run off from my friend  at Macy's while shopping with her and one minute I would be standing next to her and next minute I was gone and I kept running off from my mom and my friend Tina and I confessed  to my mom that I have a problem and that I need to do something about it and my mom took me to the doctor and I told my doctor I think I am depressed and he put me on sertraline 25 mg once a day and I found out I was depressed and had severe major depression. Things are a lot better now since I've been on sertraline for a long time."


"I used to be against medication but when my anxiety and depression began to feel uncontrollable, I decided maybe it was time to seek help. I started zoloft about a week ago, and I feel the need to really tell you guys so far on how I feel. I am less moodier. My husband had noticed a huge change in me. I used to always be in this bad mood and my anxiety used to get the best of me by running my whole day. I am so much more in control of me emotions. My husband isn't too fond of me being on this, however, my kids seem to be a lot more happier (even him) when I am more peaceful."


"Overall no major issues with Ocella and I've been on it for over two years. I started taking it due to terrible heavy periods that caused nausea and migraines. My periods are much lighter now and my face rarely breaks out. I still get migraines and cramps, but not as bad as before. I've also avoided  pregnancy and I never had issues with mood swings."


"I have been on Cymbalta 60mg for chronic abdominal pain for 3 years. It has been a life saver for me and dropped my narcotic use (hydrocodone) down to a 30 day prescription lasting me a year.  I did notice earlier this year more pain and with that more of the narcotic need and depression.  My Dr. raised me up to 90mg (one 60mg and a 30mg) and I haven't had need of the hydrocodone for 3 months.  I'm very satisfied."


"I began taking qsymia last year from May2014 - Oct2014 and lost 30lbs. Had to stop taking since I ran out of money on my FSA and couldn't afford it out of pocket. I will say I had major dry mouth which led me to drink lots of water and of course that's great for weight loss. Completely changed my tasted buds, no longer desired sugar foods - cakes, cookies, etc or pop (Diet Pepsi drinker). Side effect: no energy, struggled greatly on my job. I read a post someone recommending taking l-tyrosine 500mg for energy. I did along w/ my daily multi-vitamins, and it made a world of difference!!  I did gain my 30lb back being off, but I'm back on qsymia and ready to take it off and more this time and stick with it!!"


"Picked up a nasty H Pylori strain from an casual blind date, I know I should have gotten to know the person better. Took a while before symptoms showed up. Had severe upset stomach, occasional diarrhea, nausea and slow but steady weight loss. Took a long time and several doctors to diagnose my steadily worsening condition. Tried PrevPak first, seemed to work at first but  my infection came back. The new GI then prescribed Pylera after my 3rd endoscopy. Pylera has worked, it's been a year and I am still H Pylera negative. But it's been brutal and a very hard long road back to recovery. Had severe side effects from tetracycline (in Pylera), my skeletal bones seemed to have absorbed it. Am still not completely detoxed, steadily improving."


"I have been getting migraines off and on since around the age of 16, and am now 25. Most of my migraines are due to my allergies during the spring/summer. But they seem to be even worse during the colder months. This medication works wonders for me. The only thing I seem to notice is a bit of dizziness after the medicene wears off. But I would much rather have a little dizziness rather than being bedridden, light/sound sensitivity, migraine, and nausea/vomiting."


"After 7 years on various SSRI's and many other tried and tested medicines I finally stumbled across propranolol. A truly life changing medicine for my anxiety disorder. I always presented with high blood pressure and my belief is that hypertension is an underlying cause of crippling anxiety. If it isn't then it is most certainly involved in the anxiety circle, more hypertension, more anxiety, more hypertension, etc. Anyway this is the best medication I have ever taken...my mind and body seem to be healing in a way I can only describe as miraculous!
Please bear with this medication, although it does work immediately I'd say it takes around 6 weeks to fully bed in."


"I'm new to the whole birth control thing. My first try was seasonique it was perfect until I got migraines out of this world after 2 months of taking it. I told my doctor and she told me to give Tri-Sprintec a try. On this pill you absolutely must eat before you take it with seasonique I wasn't use to that so I had to get into the habit of eating in the morning before I take my pills. Other than nausea and vomiting when I first started I have no complaints. There are occasional cramps and sore breasts but that wasn't really a bother to me."


"It is like knives in my nose and throat for about 15 minutes, then it works better than injecting in my thigh. I also take prescription Prilosec and an anti-nausea prescription with it."


"Unbelievable. Suffered for years with performance anxiety and my current job meant I had to do more and more meeting. It got to point that I was thinking I'd have to leave my job or throw myself off a bridge to escape. As a last resort I went to doctors hoping to try beta blockers - I got these thinking they might help a bit. THEY TOTALLY CURED ME. It was like a miracle - I was even cracking jokes and arriving first at meeting where as before I'd hidden in toilets. Only my 1st week, don't know what the future holds but for now I'll just celebrate the relief this has provided."


"The only thing that works for me.  Too bad they make you feel like a criminal when you go to buy it and make you take way more trips to the store than necessary because you can only buy so many at a time.  If people want to use it to make meth and kill themselves let them (they're doing it anyway regardless of this stupid law) I just want to be able to buy it in bulk or online to save myself time and money since I use it regularly.  I noticed lately is every store I go to is out of the generic 12-hour.  Every pharmacy, grocery store, etc, no matter which one, and I have to buy the name brand for 50% more money.  It's bad enough the price is already higher than it should be due to these loser meth addicts, now I have to buy name brand!!!"


"I have raised areas of skin colored keratosis on my ankles legs and top of hands. My dermatologist prescribe me several creams with no really obvious results to speak of. I was just prescribed the cream and overnight the areas already feel different. I am beyond excited that this seems to be working and such a very short amount of time..."


"I am a 57 year old woman with about 75 pounds to lose. ( If I want to get into a "normal" weight range.) Have been taking 10 mgs of Belviq 2x a day for the 2 1/2 weeks.

The first day and a half, my stomach was a bit unsettled. And sometimes I feel a little fuzzy headed - but not terribly so. Now, the only thing that I experience is sleeping longer than I usually do. And - this is not a bad thing - but I sleep much better than I have for a long, long time.

I feel like the medication is definitely taking the edge off of my hunger. While I don't "forget to eat" I am certainly satisfied with eating much less. Probably 1/3 to 1/2 as much. And, so far, I have a lot more will power saying "no" to things that I usually wouldn't pass by. 3# down!"


"It's working well so far.  it did take a week to get into my system."

"I wish they would do research into why this drug works so well. It should not be 5th line treatment as it is a very potent anti-anxiety medication that works in days not weeks. It did however, totally mess with my sleep cycle. I'm sleepy at 1PM and I don't sleep well at night (The drug makes me restless). This is the only Anti-Depressant that has helped my anxiety. I did have one bad reaction from eating slightly off chicken (Panic attack/Heart pounding). I take 30mgs daily. Important to spread dose over the day to avoid the peaks and troughs of energy levels (It seems most effective when taken all at once though)."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"Had an endoscopy and colonoscopy this morning (26/6/16) and took the movieprep yesterday as part of the process.

I actually found it acceptable ( miles better than a barium meal) but was helped I think by these factors which I certainly think would help others.

1) i didnt eat at all the day before I took the movieprep( 2 days before the colonoscopy)

2) I took the movieprep at home in a quiet environment under my own steam

3) i made the movieprep 2 hours before drinking and placed it in the fridge to chill before drinking over the following 2 hours

4) i used a straw to drink the movieprep

5) I heavily flavoured the drink with lime juice

Good luck if you go through this process but I found it better than expected"


"DO NOT STOP taking this because you feel better. Husband been on this three years felt better stopped taking and passed out on the kitchen floor ended up in hospital did not remember not taking this so after a crap load of test and thousands of dollars it came down to the fact he stopped taking celexa and was detoxing to not try this scared the crap out of both of us. I thought I was going to have. To commit him to a mental hospital"


"I've had bulimia for 10 years. I just went on 20mg due to depression (extremely tired, not able to get out of bed, no energy/motivation etc.). I also experienced a noticeable increase in binging/purging during this time in an attempt to deal with the dysphoria and insomnia. I've only been on the medication 3 days, but oh my god. I'm not thinking about food all day long. My cravings are gone, my appetite is "normal". I don't feel like I'm constantly fighting that irresistible urge to binge. I have been getting tired during the day and will probably switch to taking it at night. Also have zero libido, which I like because its easier to focus. It also basically cured my "ADD" and I don't have to chug coffee all day to finish school work."


"I'm 27.. have suffered from chronic constipation for almost 12 years now. Was diagnosed 6 years ago. Went through total hell and back when I was diagnosed. Over the past four years I went from taking 2 capfuls of Miralax to 6...daily. My whole life revolves around my stomach issue. I'm on my 3rd day of Linzess... have already cut my dosage of Miralax over half. Hope to be totally off it of it soon. So far Linzess is the answer to my prayers. Anyone looking for an alternative should definitely give it a try. Bowel movements are loose but always are.. nothing new. They do come on quick within a couple of hours of taking the medication.. be close to a bathroom to see how it affects you. Super happy about Linzess!"


"I had unprotected sex and I took the pill 30 hours later. I felt a bit drowsy within the first few hours, however over the next two weeks I experienced cramping. The cramps were really bad.10 days after taking the pill my breasts completely swelled. My nipples were always hard and the pain was unbearable. I was convinced I was pregnant. The cramps continued and I was experiencing back pain. Then the pain in my breasts finally began to subside and I got my period the next day, exactly when I was supposed to. It was a little bit heavier than usual but I've never been happier to be on my period. The pill messes up your body due to increase of hormones. I've read it makes you feel exactly as pregnant women do so don't panic over the symptoms!"


"I'd had sciatica for 6 weeks before doctor prescribe naproxen 250mg twice a day have been taking for two weeks cant say much relief for things like walking but a little for when at rest and can now at least sleep on affected side"


"I've been on this med for a while now. The first month was really hard, I didn't see any changes. In fact I felt as bad or worse than before , But by the second month  I started to feel better. For me I've noticed that if I take it during the day I have a headache feel fatigued and nauseas and sometimes hot too. So I make sure to take it at night before bed. There are two things I don't care for about this med though: the cost and the weight gain!"


"I have been suffering with severe diarrhea due to Lymphocytic Colitis for 2 years.  Have taken many different prescriptions for it with no help.  Entocort was prescribed to me 10 days ago and I feel terrific!  The diarrhea and cramping has stopped.  I really feel great.  For the first 4 days I did have a moderate headache, but that has gone.  The only side effect I have now is some mild ache on my face.  For me, Entocort has given me my life back."


"Started taking Buspar 15mg 2 times a day about a month ago and I will be honest, at first I hated it! I almost quit taking it! The first week it seemed as if it was making my anxiety worse. My chest was pounding and could not sleep at all! I decided to stick with it and I'm glad I did because all of that is gone now. I mainly had issues with social phobia, and I have noticed I am getting better in social situations. The only thing is every now and then I feel a little dizzy for about 20 minutes after taking it but that's it! It doesn't take anxiety away, but helps you deal with it and better rationalize things."


"I've been taking Seroquel in combination with the highest dose of antidepressant possible for over a year now and find it fantastic for sleep at night and it does calm me to an extent. However I do have violent outbursts regularly and sometimes experience extremely sore calf muscles especially first thing in the morning."


"I started taking Singulair about 10 years ago when it was fairly new. It changed my life, I am not aware of side effects, but I NEVER WHEEZE! It is the best drug over and I would recommend if you use your albuterol inhaler more than twice a week, take this medicine! I was using my rescue inhaler almost daily, now I NEVER use them, I keep one on hand, but I throw it out annually and get a replacement so I always have a fresh one, just in case."


"My problem is leg cramps at night.  Used all sorts of homeopathic recommendations. Nothing worked.  Now I'm on cyclobenzaprine 10mg.  I take 1 about 1-1/2 hours before going to sleep.  Now I don't wake up from leg cramps, have an undisturbed night's sleep and wake up rested and alert.  Great stuff."


"I find this drug to be great for muscle spasm. It helps me greatly for tension headaches."


"Really not sure why my urologist gave me samples of this drug since my prostate was normal for my age and my PSA was normal. I was not having issues peeing just some discomfort. Anyway, I tried the pills for four days. Nothing changed because I was still up 2-3 times per night like I have for years. But.....the side effects were immediate. Stuffy head, headaches and no ejaculate. Not a drop. Freaked me out. Erection was not as strong and the "climax" took longer to reach and was literally a split second. If you still enjoy sex steer clear of this drug. I'm am stopping immediately and will not return to that doctor. As far as I'm concerned I paid $200 for nothing ."


"Okay so the incident happened on April 6th around 1 p.m (I was also on ovulation). The next day (April 7th) around 11 a.m. I took the pill. About a week later (April 13th) I started spotting, it was very light at first then it gradually got heavier, it was like a light period and it stopped on April 18th. I was so worried because my actual period was due April 24t, I miss it so I waited and waited and was going to test but I was too nervous to do it because I wasn't ready for a child yet. So I waited more and finally my period came on May 17th along with strong cramps.

My advice for the ladies that have taken this pill, don't stress, it will delay your period even longer."


"I am a 25 year old female who has battled chronic idiopathic urticaria since age 2. My hives come and go every few years sometimes 2years sometimes 3years. The older I have gotten the worse they are when they come back... Last batch lasting 7months. 7 full months of 24/7 full body hives. Throughout my course of treatment I have had steroids all the way to kidney rejection drugs. NOTHING WORKED!!!! When my doctor suggested we try xolair I was sceptical. I recieve 2 shots every 4wks. This medication has changed my life. Do I still get hives on occasion YES! But they are so frequent. Xolair is here to manage your condition not cure it. Good luck to all of you!"


"I got diagnosis very early, within 7 days after getting infected.
Decided to start therapy right away.
Before taking triumeq: 10.000.000 viral load (they explained as I really early got diagnosed this number can be very high first 1-2-3 months). CD4 - 520.
After 1,5 month of taking triumeq: viral load: 50 (just 50!!!!) and CD4 - 819.

I had and having sometimes some light side effects: feeling tired/sleepy, nausea (when taking on empty stomach), some problem with skin (acne).
With a time it's getting better and now I experience side effects very seldom.
I'm glad this medicine works well for me and seems like my body get used to it."


"I started latuda after being on abilify since 2004. I was taken off abilify because I began vomiting every day and had severe rashes after being on the drug for about twelve years. Latuda is HORRIBLE! Mind you, I haven't actually had a serious psychiatrist sit down and actually understand my symptoms or who I am in about five years... seems as if that is non existent in my region or something now? I developed severe migraines on latuda, and have had more frequent seizures on this medication. The doctor I have seen ONE time this entire year doesn't want to work with me even though he even noticed I am extremely agitated and annoyed ALL the time on this medication. I used to be very calm and easy going; however, now everything irritates me."


"I have been taking contrive since August 18th and today is December 4th and I have have had great success. If you feel a little funny for the first week or two it is totally normal. Just a tiny bity jittery and a little constipation at first. It is all gone now. I originally started at 305 pounds and was able to get down to 275 pounds on my own. It took me a long time to loose my first 30 pounds, 6 months to be precise, I began to get discouraged. After talking to my doctor he thought I would do well on contrave. With contrive I have lost 40 pounds in less then 4 months. I don't have any side effects and I feel great! This medicine is changing my life and I am so grateful to have found it!"


"Wow, many of your reviews are very helpful. I am a vibrant, healthy & semi-athletic post-menopausal female. I ignored symptoms which were later diagnosed as CTI; acute abdomen pressure, urge to urinate every few minutes with pulsing and finally, bloody urine. Cipro worked for me within the 1st 24 hrs ...500 mg 2x p/day for 5 days... No side effects, only relief..."


"I have been using Benlysta since April and it is doing wonders for me. Some mornings I tried but couldn't get out of bed but not any more. I sleep well and have energy. My only problem is the weight gain. I started with every two weeks for 2 months and then once a  month. When I just started the medication I used to feel a funny feeling in my mouth, not anymore."


"I have been on paxil for almost a year now for anxiety. It works most of the time. I do not have hard core panic attack anymore. My only gripe is if I miss a day I have crazy brain fuzz,  I seem to eat more, and I do not really care about anything."


"This shot is only given at a medical facility urgent clinic or hospital wait time after given is approximately 20 minutes to make sure there's no allergic reaction ... Within a few hours my cough was slowed down"


"I took the first dose on a Friday after work.  That night I was awake all night with terrible leg cramps and an odd cramp in my midriff.  I took the second dose earlier in the afternoon the next day.  The cramp in my midriff returned.  I called the hospital where my doctor practices and the nurse practitioner from her office called me back.  She advised me not to take the Lasix anymore and to go to the ER if the cramping came back tonight.  My ankle is nearly normal size, but I am not sure it was worth it."


"Awesome medication. I used to smoke 2 1/2 packs a day and quit perfectly without any slips. Great patch."


"Girls! I am here to share my experience to ease some of you out of freaking out! I have severe anxiety and panic disorder so imagine what a mess I was thinking I was pregnant - I did not get pregnant!
Here we go: I am a 20 year old girl who would've been paralyzed if she found out she was pregnant. I would've had to get an abortion, which is not what I want, but neither is having a kid right now. Long story short: had unprotected sex, got scared. Took plan B 16 hours later. I was mortified with the waiting. I ended up getting my period 5 days late (I was expecting weeks late) but it is here (and heavy). Girls, you will be okay. I promise you this works. I've used it about 5 times now (within 5 years). It works! Just try to keep calm. "


"I used prozac in the past for 3-9 months twice and had no side effects apart from some headache for a few weeks. Now I have been on it again for 3 weeks and this time I am suffering SEVERE side effects. Physical ones include heavy fogginess/head pressure, sleeplessness, muscle tension, blurred vision and loss of appetite and weight loss. Mentally I have also worsened. Anxiety is really high, especially in the mornings, feelings of hopelessness an inability to cope with life, suicidal thoughts (that I never really had before), inability to focus/read and feel motivated. Now at 3 weeks I have some moments in the afternoon of feeling calmer but it is rather unpleasant numbness. I hope it improves going forward, but it has been very tough."


"1st time onset of cervical pain with upper extremity radiculopathy.  Steroid taper did not help, Norflex did not help, Relafen did not help.  Skelaxin, wow, 2 doses in and the pain is virtually gone.  I also received a tramadol prescription but will likely not need it."


"I have been on this medicine for almost 3 weeks and still have a lot of back pain. I am disabled from pain however and also have neuropathy in both feet from my back conditions. I also suffer from fibromyalgia.50 mg x3 per day is my dosage along with gabapentin 300mg x3 daily."


"I want to start off by saying that this birth control does what its supposed to do, I have been on it for the last five years and not one pregnancy scare and that is without any caution being used. ( I'm married lol ) BUT!! Over the past five years this birth control has made my life crazy. I've never been an emotional person and I am so emotional and take everything to heart. I feel so bad for my husband but dang he is a trooper lol I've  always kind of had acne but it's been worse since I've been on it. I have gained 40 lb but I am 5"11 and weighing in at 170 is a healthy weight for me when I'm at the point where I want to lose weight and I'm not able to. It's horrible. Everyone is different but that is my experience :)"


"I had really bad cramps. I tried several things, and nothing seem to work. When I get them bad I have  to miss school and just lay in my bed with  back pain, headache, barf etc. So I had enough and decided to go to the doctors. My doctors prescribe me for naproxen. On the day of my cycle I took the pill and in about 30 minutes I was pain free. I took a nap and it felt like I didn't even have my period! I definitely recommend this, I am very pleased and this will be my go to every month. but remember, what works for me doesn't work for all."


"I have been using Benzaclin along with antibiotics prescribed by my doctor for almost a week now. My face has cleared up so much and I am so thankful for this product. I use it twice a day and although my sensitive skin burns like crazy and gets a little red. It's worth it because I can see dramatic results. The burning gets a little better each time I put it on, I'm sure it's just cleaning out my pores. I would recommend this product to anyone with acne."


"I have severe chronic insomnia associated with FM/CFS. I have been unable to fall asleep or stay asleep for nearly 10 years. Tried many other medicines for sleep that didn't work or had unacceptable side effects. Sonata served me well for 5 years. Was taking 10 mg to get to sleep and then another 10mg to get back to sleep during the night. Our health insurer changed and they will only pay for 1 pill per night. My health and quality of life has deteriorated."


"Excellent for use to help prevent anxiety attacks before they get way out of hand. Having been through a rehab system 10 years ago I am EXTREMELY cautions about taking these. What's not clear is how quickly physical dependence forms, and how brutally hard the detox can be. Along with alcohol, these or any other benzos are one of the only detoxes you can die from, and the detox is brutal for lack of a better word.

Having said that, for irregular use so long as control is present without denial, these work terrific to quell an  anxiety attack thats building. Just please do not ignore the dangers of even daily use for a couple weeks or you'll be sending yourself down a hole that will redefine what you knew about anxiety and feeling bad"


"Worked great for my 13 year old w schizoaffective disorder for 8 months, the only side effect was vomiting a few min after taking it at times. Zantac seemed to help for a while, but the vomiting became more frequent so ultimately he had to come off of it. It seemed to work well though with no restlessness, akasthesia, or any other side effects. He took it with lithium, so it might have been the combination that was too much for his stomach."


"I took my first dose a week ago.  Within days I started to see improvement.  I have psoriasis all over.  Some smaller spots, some larger than a softball.  Now at a week, my thickest plaques are almost gone.  I still have discoloration at the sites, but no plaques.  I've been on raptiva, which worked very well until they took it off the market.  I've been on humara, stelara, just about all the topicals you could name, and most recently embrel for the last few years.  I really can't believe how quickly this cleared my skin.  The only thing that gave me this type of result was cyclosporine and that took over a month tip get this clear.  I'll admit that the auto inject was not the most pleasant feeling and I typically use a prefilled syringe."


"Absolutely terrible. I had such bad side effects that I ended up back in the Psychiatric emergency room because I was having constant panic attacks from it. As soon as I was taken off the medication and switched to a different one, they stopped. They re-occur if I try taking the medication again, even once. It didn't even affect my schizophrenia symptoms."


"I started trulicity 3 weeks ago and have had no side effects at all a little nausea the first week but that is it my sugars always been double figures now they stay between the 4-7 mark i've lost 11lbs and feel best I have in a long time I was afraid reading these reviews and put off taking this  two weeks after I collected it at the chemist I was that afraid lol my daughter talked me into giving it a go and Im so glad I did I have energy again and Im sleeping much better give it a go might just be what you need and everyone is different good luck!!"


"I took dulolax at midnight & got rudely awoken at 6am with the worst cramps & urge to go to the toilet, it was a horrific experience I've never felt so ill going to the toilet, it was like chocolate milk yuck!! I think my body was in pure shock as it took me 2 days to recover, I lost my appetite & slept a whole after my bowels had been emptied."


"I was recently diagnosed at age 24 with Bipolar disorder (some paranoid features) co-morbid with Asperger's disorder. I have woken up in the morning all my life in an absolute rage, and my Bipolar has affected my life in more ways than I care to mention. I wish I would've known about my mental illness sooner- I thought everyone felt like I did. I have been on this medicine for a week, and for once in my life I wake up in a good mood, I stay in a good mood during the day, and am generally happy. I am extremely productive instead of either too manic or too depressed to function. The only bad thing is the akathesia, but worth it."


"I was recently perscribed Seroquel, and I can tell the difference already with my bipolar. However it made me so drowsy and lethargic that I can only take it at night. It has helped me think more clearly and has lessened my manic and depressive episodes to where I feel almost "normal" again."


"This is my first time using birth control pills, and it was for 2 reasons: preventing pregnancy and reducing forehead acne that always worsened around ovulation.
I've been taking Tricira Lo (generic brand) for the past 7 1/2 weeks.
Initially, I found myself more tearful, but that settled down after 4 weeks. I had one instance of a headache & nausea during the first 4 weeks; haven't experienced either since.
There's been ~5lb weight gain and some increase in breast size (not by a full cup though).
I haven't noticed a significant difference in my forehead acne. It's still an issue for me, especially during the 3rd & 4th (placebo) weeks of the pack. I think this may be because hormonal acne more often presents on the cheeks/chin."


"I don't have bad acne but I get cystic acne on my chin from hormones that last weeks! This is the only cream that made my skin close to perfect after a few months I didn't know it was the cream until I ran out and my acne came back, I need to get a new bottle ASAP!"


"Birth control pills affected my mood (I tried many different kinds and all of them made me well up to 7 days into my cycle) and my lifestyle (100 hr a week finance job with high travel) made taking the pill regularly very difficult (I'd sneak out of afternoon meetings to take them because that was the only time I knew I'd definitely be up).  Nuvaring turned out to be the BEST solution out there. I can put it in once and forget about it, and its low dose means no more mood swings from birth control! My boyfriend doesn't feel a thing either. At first I was worried about putting it in and taking it out but it turned out to be painless - reminded me of getting used to putting in contact lenses."


"I've had Kyleena for the past six months, and originally got it because I was bleeding or had some sort of darker discharge for 6 months straight previous to getting it inserted. Since then, it has regulated my period, which in fact has never been regular, and now I have an idea of when I'm going to start bleeding every month. Although it does give me some pretty awful cramps just before I'm going to start my period, that's nothing a little Advil and heat won't fix. I did notice that I got a little more acne on the chin since I got Kyleena inserted, but it's totally worth the fact that I have a regular light period now, and don't have to worry about having unwanted babies!"


"I have fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, chronic pain syndrome. I have been on limbrel 500 caps for two months it's working great, and has reduced my pain level from 9-10 to 5, some days 4 or lower. Before limbrel I was on Opiods, and different strong pain medicines with dangerous side effects. Limbrel doesn't have any sides effects it's made from food products, my insurance doesn't cover it but I use manufacturer coupon from my doctors office, and pay just $50 for a month supply"


"Azor user for 7 years, maybe 8...sky high blood pressure that comes from a long family lineage. Was on 10/20 mg. for most of the time, now on 5/20 - I usually maintain a 105/68 - 120/70 with a pulse that rarely goes above 65. I can't say enough about this medication, I went from a red faced angry fool to being a pussy cat. On my very worst days - intense stress or pain I'll max at 130/90 but that's about 3-5 times a year.  I don't do the generic, I'm loyal to the Azor brand - it has a certain smell that the generic doesn't, crazy or not I got used to the smell. You'd have to take both to understand...nonetheless the one month I went generic my blood pressure was spotty."


"I was diagnosed by my GP with postpartum depression/anxiety in September 2016 when my daughter was 10 months old. I started seeing a psychologist weekly and taking medication from the beginning of 2017. I have been taking a 10mg dose of Lovan (Prozac) each day for approximately 8 weeks now and over the past week I have noticed a big difference in my mental health. Sure, I still get those feelings of sadness from time to time, but not as frequently as I was. Prior to these past 8 weeks I was having thoughts of not wanting to be here anymore, and recently these thoughts are no longer haunting me. I hope to God I am only going to improve from here on in. My advice is, give the medication time to work! I am SO thankful I pushed through the bad days."


"I only took it once before bed. Don't remember the dosage. Woke up later sweating, heart racing, confused. I even called an ambulance. Took it as an adjunct for depression. Had the same experience with seroquel, another atypical antipsychotic. Just no good for me."


"Only gave LInzess an 8 because just don't know yet - it's too early to give it an educated rating.  I have taken Linzess only twice.  I took it last Friday and I went to the bathroom for 3-4 hours.  It was like a colonoscopy prep.  I fasted on Saturday (as I do twice a week) so I didn't take one.  Sunday I went to a Christmas party and was afraid to take one.  Monday I had workers here working in and around the bathrooms so I didn't take one.  Finally, yesterday I took one yesterday and I experienced cramps and small hard stools several times that came out like an explosion.  Not going to give up yet.  Going to take another today.  If I have to stay home for a few days and condition myself I will do it.  Have had constipation all my life."


"I just recently started Lutera. I love it. I've been through so many other birth controls. I've had no serious side effect occasionally I'll get a tad moody but overall I'm absolutely satisfied no pregnancy's and I'm losing weight. Great."


"Have been using Fentanyl for over 3 years now, and wonder what kind of shape I would be in if I hadn't been offered this medicine. It is definitely working for me and I am so glad I was a candidate for it."


"I was suffering panic attacks, anxiety, depression and irritable bowel syndrome. I started on half a 75 mg for two weeks and then full tablet.
The side effects were a bit of a challenge some days but the up side was I had good days very early into taking.
I started them four weeks ago and panic attacks are gone, minimal anxiety now and depression lifted considerably, also no more IBS.
one thing that no tablet cannot do is change how you think.
I am very, very blessed!"


"I have been on somas for 5 years for my back spasms. There are the only thing that I have found that works for me. I tried many other muscle relaxants and none worked. I do physical work and they make it easier to move around."


"I am on day 3 of this pill. I’m taking the 2 times a day for 7 days. And let me tell you, it it horrible! I woke at 4:30 am to extremely painful stomach pains. It was worse than my contractions from labor. It was diarrhea. I was sitting on the toilet in so much pain thinking that I was about to die. I was ready to throw up EVERYWHERE, I was in so much pain. My whole body started sweating so I had to take my clothes off. It was the worst pain I’ve ever felt! After the stomach pains subsided I felt ice cold everywhere! I don’t know if that’s normal but I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that stuff was painful!!!! I will never take this drug again and along with that I’ve had nausea and very bad headaches. I feel like poop."


Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome

"This medicine has simply given me my life back."


"I read so many reviews about how painful insertion would be, and I got myself really worked up and was very nervous when I went to see my doctor. I'm happy to say that is wasn't in the littlest bit painful. I am 26 and do not children. Granted I have really bad cramps when I get my period, which is part of the reason I needed birth control. But there was no pain, no pinch, nothing. I felt like I was having a MILD period cramp, for about 30 seconds, and then I felt completely fine. No cramping or pain at all afterwards. I took 800mg of ibuprofen about 30 minutes before, and I think that helped a lot. I would rate it about 2/10 on a pain scale, and the "pain" is pressure and mild cramping"


"I took Plan-B after having unprotected sex right after my period ended. He got it for me to ease both our minds. Within a week of taking the pill, I had some side effects, like headaches and dizziness. After 7 days I received an early period. It was painful, and I had bad cramps. I was worried at first because I had just had my period, but Plan-B and you guys reviews all said bleeding and irregular periods were a common system. It really worked! So no worries if this happens to you! I will suggest no intercourse until you get your next period just in case, and a pregnancy test to ease your mind."


"I have now been on citalopram for over 6 weeks. I was started on 10mg for 5 days and then upped to 20mg for depression and generalised anxiety disorder caused by intense work stress for the past eighteen months.

I found that in the first week I had minimal side effects except dry mouth and slight sleepiness. Now I have no symptoms at all and have had no issues with citalopram. At the 3-4 week mark my common feelings of dread and waves of anxiety and sadness seemed to reduce without me noticing it was happening. Now at the 6 week mark I feel... Normal. I don't feel overly happy, just normal. It's an odd feeling as it is now hard to remember how bad I felt and why I sought help in the first place.

I would recommend citalopram to anyone!"


"My current dosage to treat ADHD and depression is 37 mg slow release twice daily, morning and noon.

Although the medicine does not completely relieve my ADD behavior (distraction, sillyness, loud speaking, impulsive acts, lack of sustained focus, poor listening skills) it does permit my mind to focus better and to self regulate my actions. I am also doing therapy and my wife spends a great deal of her considerable intelligence and thoughtfulness to improving my mental health and in consequence, our married life.

The medication certainly helps to motivate for work, meeting and talking with people, and generally feeling a sense of my ability to function."


"I started taking the pill last month and for starters I am 26. I know that it takes a while for you body to adjust to the pill but I am on my second week of my menstrual cycle which is waaayyy to long for starters, I've gotten a bit more acne breakouts and I have noticed that, with my mood I have become more sensitive to things that usually don't bother me. I was taking this pill primarily to help regulate periods but like I said 2 weeks of a flow when I only usually last 7 days max makes me reconsider continuing with this pill."


"This medication is wonderful. I used to call it my happiness pill. I was deep on a major depressive episode. I couldn't get off bed, crying all the time, no energy or even willing to go on.  I must admit first days on this medication were really bad. I wanted to quit it. I had like jaw tremors and continuous yawning and my face made weird expressions on the first few days. But after that was just awesome. I felt happy all the time no matter what. I lost 30 pounds like in 6 months. So I felt amazing.The  bad part was  I couldn't have an orgasm. and libido was down because of that. I got changed to wellbutrin but miss sertraline so much."


"My son had severe acute psychosis and possible diagnosis of schizophrenia at age 17.  Risperdal (Risperidone) brought him back to his normal self, for the most part.  He has put on weight (2 trouser sizes bigger) and he is inclined to rock back and forth a little, when seated.  He is slightly less motivated and says he doesn't retain information as he used to at school.  This may be improved by adjusting the dose.  But this medicine gave me my son back and seems well-tolerated by him.  The psychosis is completely gone."


"I was just like all of you guys all scared saying what should I do if it doesn't work? How am I gonna tell my parents?.  The day I needed plan b one step it had worked. That day me and my girlfriend had unprotected sex and I came inside of her. We took the drug within 30 minutes and ate something with it because it will give you nausea if you don't. The pill worked and it wasn't the 1st time it ever did. You guys are going to be fine I guarantee you just take it within the 1st 24 hours"


"I really like it. I'm finishing up my second month next week, but I will be switching back to a pill because the adhesive from the patch makes me itch all week then when I take it off theres a big red rash where it was. I was fatigued for the first two weeks, but haven't had side effects since. I'm sad that the adhesive doesn't work for me, otherwise I'd keep it."


"I have been on Lamictal for 7 years and have not had any seizures.  My seizures were caused by scar tissue from having a brain tumor removed.  I started on Dilantin but the side effects were so bad I couldn't work so my neurologist started me on Lamictal. I didn't lose weight but I am frequently dizzy and definitely have cognitive and memory issues. I find I have to focus on tasks and don't multi-task effectively anymore. I wouldn't give this medicine up because it controls my seizures.  I'm fortunate that my medical plan covers brand name but I have to pay more."


"It took me awhile to see real results while on Claravis, I even stopped taking it for about 2 weeks at one point because the side effects were too much to handle. The dry/peeling skin resulted in a lot of scarring, and it was extremely difficult to get used to. However, by the 3rd month I had developed a good moisturizing routine that really helped to keep my skin looking healthy. It took a lot longer than I had originally expected, and it took a lot of patience, but I am a week into my 4th month on Claravis and have been acne free for a few weeks now. My dermatologist is saying I may not even need to go the full 6 months because of my great progress. So if you are considering this mediciation for your acne, just be very patient."


"I had Implanon inserted in August 2010.  I've been pretty impressed.  I was horrible at taking the pill (didn't always happen every day, much less at the same time) so just the fact that I don't have to remember anything for three is enough right there!  I usually have my period for a couple of days every other month; I usually don't know when it is coming which is annoying, but it's always light so not too much trouble.  I haven't had any weight gain but my breasts have gotten a bit smaller.  No unusual mood swings either.  I would recommend Implanon to anyone who wants a no-hassle birth-control method.  Oh, also, Implanon was only $45 for the copay and device."


"I take Bentyl for irritable bowel syndrome flare ups and it does work for me. I would suggest taking it at night before bed or make sure your home because it can cause drowsiness and dizziness and dry mouth. This is an anti spasmodic. Also known as a muscle relaxer. So be careful when taking this. It really does work wonders."


"It took about 5 weeks to start working completely. My gynecologist told me to not give up. After 3 weeks I was still getting hot flashes daily. I continued as prescribed and Zero hot flashes!! No side effects. One year using"


"I found that it made me very tired and was not very useful."


"Worked great for the first 2 months, now it does absolutely nothing. Maybe it was placebo during those 2 months. Better luck to anyone else."


"Having been taken to the hospital for an arythemia, doctor prescribed many drugs including this one. Taking it since March 8,2016 and am always tired, no desire to do anything and am in bed by 8pm. I only take 2.5mg. Doctor says I'm doing well but have to contact him."


"53 yr female, started using Detrol LA 4 mg approximately 2.5 yrs ago. Also tried Enablex and Vesicare.  Insurance company dropped Enablex and now is dropping Detrol.  Main side-effects are constipation, headache, dry mouth.  Headache goes away after a few days.  Have gradually decreased dosage to 1/2 capsule daily, then 1/2 capsule 2-3x per week. This has relieved side-effects and am still pain-free.  Hoping to get off medication entirely eventually."


"Made me super sick. This was my first time trying it, I took the prescribed dose, and I've been trembling out of my skin for the last hour. My blood pressure is through the roof and my heart rate is 141 bpm right now. I'm also nauseous and would be at the emergency room right now if not so terrified I'd crash my car if I tried to drive."


"After putting this cream on my face once a day just before bed for 3 months my rosacea has completely gone. Within two weeks the pustules had disappeared completely leaving only redness. At week 4 the rosacea returned for one week and then disappeared again. At month 3 I stopped using the cream and have been completely rosacea free for over a year. The redness is also almost completely gone now and my complexion is only slightly pink with no rough skin or bumps.

Before this I tried  3 different oral antibiotics, finacea, metrogel, rosex, nicotine acid as well as over the counter pharmacist redness reduction creams. None of these helped until I was given soolantra."


"I pleasantly surprised! Have been sleeping well. About 8 hours or so. No hangover in the morning which is good. I take it maybe a few times per week. My doctor said that's okay since no addictive potential."


"I am a chronic worrier. I wake up in the morning worrying about something. My doctor prescribed Alprazolam about 3 years ago, up to 2 x 0.5 mg tablets a day as needed. I do not like to take medication, but Alprazolam takes the heaviness out of my chest and breathing is easier, and I feel relaxed. It is amazing. No side effects. It helps me at work if I have meetings, or have to talk in front of a group. I wish I did not need it, but thank God it is there at this time. 10 out of 10."


"I have never in my life felt that helpless! Extreme pain, nausea, and felt faint. Don't take this if you are home alone. I was throwing up and having the runs at the same time! Barely had the energy to call my husbands name for help. He got me a cold rag and a water! I couldn't have gotten it myself it was that horrific! But it defintely relieves constipation! It's 100% going to clean your guts out! I took 2."


"It helps tremendously"


"I've been taking Phenergan for years now. It's a miracle medicine. I tried Zofran and it didn't work at all, in fact it made me get sicker. I suffer from extreme vomiting in all of my pregnancies. My dr. prescribed Phenergan to me and I'm so thankful for that. I LOVE this medicine."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"I had colorectal cancer at age 29 and have had several colonoscopies. I always drank the Golytely and it worked like a charm! I was prescribed this Prepopik and NOTHING happened. I had one small BM and had to reschedule my procedure. Waste of my time and money! Next time I will poor lemonade mix in my Golytely to have a successful cleanse. I will never use Prepopik again!"


"Well I usually get cold sores around winter, or whenever I actually do have a cold. The last one was random. I brought Abreva after my cold sore formed. It didn't work alone. I googled home remedies and tried three others (ice,milk, and toothpaste.) with all four in constant use I started to see it shrink. I don't think its worth the money."


"Used this for a few months as recommended to prevent my frequent and painful migraines that I've had since I was 12.

Depakote was okay I guess. I still had two major migraines while on it, and didn't give it any extra time because the side effects are awful! I wanted to sleep constantly. Felt depressed and irritable, and hated life! Plus, the weight gain alone I experienced in a couple months was absolutely enough reason for me to not want to be on it anymore.... I gained about 15-20 lbs!"


"I'm a 42 year old African American who has been diagnosed with Lupus for 16 years.  I've been taking Benlysta for one year now and notice a big difference in my body.  I have more energy before taking the medicine I suffered greatly from fatigue.  I feel little to no joint or muscular pain, before the medicine I suffered from severe inflammation and swelling in my joints and could hardly walk some days.  I now jog on my treadmill, go to Zumba classes and workout at Curves.  The medicine has been a God send for me and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to witness to this great invention.   The only downfall is my insurance will only cover 80% which leave me a hefty 800.00 balance each moth.  I'm on disability and cannot afford this expense."
