"I've had numerous invasive spinal surgeries, sciatic nerve pain, as well as discomfort at the site of my neurostimulator implantation. The patches alleviate the discomfort in conjunction with a medication regime put in place by my pain management doctor that I follow to the letter allowing for less medication having to be taken while they're in use. I've had no side effects. Overall a very positive experience."


"I'm a 60 year old woman that has been up and down with the weight. Our son is getting married Oct. 2016, so I had to get this weight off. I went to my doctor and she suggested Contrave. I have been on it since Oct 1 2015 and have lost 40 pounds. It's at small increments but I'm so overjoyed that it's working. I have had multiple back surgeries (spinal fusions, hip replaced, and more) and can't do a lot of things for exercise. I walk as much as I can. I have adjusted my eating habits and types of foods. I would like to say this medicine has been helpful. I feel like a million bucks. The med curbs my appetite. Stick with it, your worth the $$ it costs. Dizzy once."


"I've been on brintellix for ~3 months and it has changed my life. My depression was very severe- daily anxiety, immobilized from crying and panicking... this was related to PTSD and I was consumed with feelings of guilt, shame, and thought of suicide several times.  I started on 10 mg, had no side effects at all (maybe a little continued jaw tightness), and felt the effects within a week. I already had reduced anxiety, and cut the amount of xanax I would take in half. Then as time went on, the anxiety and depression started fading away entirely and my mood was elevated. I could think clearly, more energy, more motivation for the first time in months.  Brintellix combined with therapy cured me. I increased to 20 mg and feel better than ever."


"My psychiatrist recommended that I try 5mg of melatonin instead of other OTC sleep aids. I have anxiety disorder and have trouble not worrying about intruders at night. I took this 30 minutes before bed time and I felt extremely tired within an hour. That was nice. I woke up an hour later from I'm not sure what. Easy to go back to sleep. Then a total of 3 hours later, I woke up gasping for air. From a nightmare a presume, although I couldn't remember the nightmare. I then woke up around 5am from my neighbors in my apartment building. I felt alert but made it back to sleep. I then was not able to wake up the rest of the morning. I couldn't get up to go to work and I still feel tired at noon the next day. Wondering how to move forward."


"Have been on Lybrel for 1 year now and get periods, breakthrough bleeding, spotting and cramps. I used to have a normal 28 day cycle and my period was 5 days, it was very regimented. Now I have periods randomly that last 7 to 10 days. I was hoping to stop my periods but this obviously does not work for me."


"I've been taking Feldene since August 2009, so approximately 2 months. The only side effects I've noticed is that I bruise much more easily than I did before.

I haven't really noticed a big change in the pain and swelling in my fingers/hands from taking it though."


"Got this inserted in August of 2016 and it was the best decision I ever made. I had a bruise for about two weeks on the insertion site, but have only had 2-3 days of spotting since then, have lost weight from going off the pill, and haven't had any UTI's since insertion (I got them once every 2-3 months before the implant). The only complaint I would have is that it has made me break out, but that could potentially be attributed to stress."


Esterified estrogens / methyltestosterone

"I took this for 7 years with NO complaints, until my pharmacy replaced it with a dark green pill, different maker. The dark green one DID NOT work like this one by Amneal, but for some reason (prob the Estratest fiasco) this one was pulled from the market.
Fast forward 3 years and cvs had this one back! So I went to doc, got a script, got a months worth and felt normal finally! Went for my refill only to be told it is being DISCONTINUED!!! uugghhh! Amneal get it together- we need your version of EEMT!!!"


"Well ladies just to let you know I tried the 1 day ovule. Inserted at night before bed, let me just say had some intense itching and burning that last about 30 min, but then it went away. I think its the meds working to kill off the infection. The meds will leak out gradually after you're moving around...but wear a panty liner or slim pad to catch. The next day for me no itching or burning. It worked for me! Now waiting a couple more days until the cream completely kills the yeast! Im feeling good!!!"


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


"First BC I ever tried at 17. I am now 24. I had severe irregular periods as a teen  and this had me put back on track. I do not believe it did anything with my sex drive. I've been with only one person (still with him today going on almost 10 years) but my drive began to decrease about age 22. It may be work/stress related. I've accidentally missed pills quite a few times but no scares what so ever (don't think you'll have the same results if you do! Do not forget to take your BC you never know!). When I missed a pill or two I do feel more emotionally unstable and have mood swings.
I know when my "time" is coming. Breast tenderness a week before. Crave certain foods..nothing horrible.
Never felt the need to switch and its affordable for me."


"I am 51, and have been getting cluster headaches since 17. Have tried every medication for them, but nothing seemed to work for me. I  was finally prescribed Prednisone, it takes a few days to start working, but after I  finished the course, I  didn't get a single headache for nearly a year. The course was 20 mg a day, for 10 to 14 days, depending on the doctor. The length of time, without a headache varies, but is usually a year or more."


"I got my implanon may 2014 after my third son was born at age 20 other birth controls did not work for me, obviously.. I had light spotting at first then a year in I had this horrible wreck of a period lasted three weeks, very heavy and then another year no period until a month ago wham wrecked all my clothes and undies its a nightmare cramps are very painful.. my boyfriend and I have discussed other pregnancy prevention because this is just not good, ive not been able to work.. I am going to wait another week or two to see if it stops.."


"The best for my pain. That's all I have to say."


"I've been on this Birth Control for about 2 years, I just recently stopped it in the middle of my 3 week cycle of it (I got my period 2 days after I took it out so beware). When I first started this I felt anxious a lot and always moody, definitely didn't have any libido what so ever. Also I gained so much weight, and I exercise and ate pretty decent where I shouldn't gain 30lbs all together. When it was about a year into the ring I gained about 15lbs then I stopped it for 2 months lost a few pounds easy and then put myself back on it and gained 30lbs. I really don't like it and don't plan to go back on it....it's funny when I stopped I lost 5lbs the next day."


"i have been using "victoza" for almost a month now and i felt so much better.i used to have A LOT of cravings but now i barely have any.i started at 0.6 and 1 time a day but now i noticed by late night it has worn off ,so i will see if i can make 2 times a day.i felt a little queezy at first but now i feel great. i noticed that when i eat greasy foods it goes thru me,but i know not to eat that...i wiould give it a try before deciding if it is for you.some doctor's have samples you can try and i go to dr's in 2 days to find out how much i weigh.wish me good luck i can't wait till i see how i am doing.best thing is my medical covered it when using it as victoza and not the other one saxenda. same drug 2 different brands names smart people."


"I've been diagnosed with Dercum's Disease last year in July 2013.  I've tried too many medications to count.  I live in Alberta, Canada.  I don't know what the medical regulations are in the U.S. are or if they differ from state to state.  Here, as far as pain allowances go before they decide to prescribe opiates of any kind, they leave it up to the prescribing doctor. I went from Lyrica to gabapentin to mexilitine to hydromorphone and now the fentanyl patch (100 mcg) every 3 days. Does it work for me? I would say yes, to a degree. I'm on all those meds mentioned above minus the Lyrica. My pain levels on average daily are at an intolerable 8 on a scale between one and ten. It's bearable, whereas before it was excruciating."


"I switched to Mydayis from Vyvanse. The effects of Mydayis last longer than Vyvanse, but just as—in my experience—Vyvanse did not last fourteen hours, Mydayis’s duration of action falls short of the sixteen hours as advertised by Shire. Nonetheless, I still hold Mydayis superior to Vyvanse and Adderall."


"I started taking Adipex on 7/14/15 and I'm already down 13 pds. Today is 7/31/15. I do workout daily for 1 hr but it's hard to eat all the time. I have to make myself eat. The problem that I am having now is in the afternoon after my wkout classes I'm hungry but I stick with low calorie options.  Can someone shed some light on staying full all day... Oh yea and the sleep pattern is out the window!"


"Implanon (etonogestrel) has been replaced by Nexplanon and I had mine inserted last friday. So far I feel fine, no feeling sick like I would have done changing pill, no bloated tummy, no spotting. Everyone reacts different to medicines. I have tried over 15 types of contraceptive combined pills, a few mini pills and they all gave me bad migraines. My doctor has recommended Nexplanon implant as it is not known yet to give migraines. I would rather gain a bit of spot bleeding than have the head pain."


"I went on this pill about 4 or so years ago and did not have too many issues. I occasionally broke out from time-to-time and i did gain a little weight over the last few years but I think that's more my fault for living off a college diet and not exercising like I should have. I went on the pill almost as soon as I became sexually active and have not had any pregnancy scares so it did that job in that respect. It also kept my periods regular and fairly short (about 4 days). However, around the time of my period I experienced extremely bad headaches (sometimes migraines accompained with vomiting) so my doctor just switched me over to a new pill recently. But other than that, I've had no complaints and would reccommend this birth control."


"I have been on Cymbalta  for over 2 years. I have M.S. And am a type 1 diabetic with severe Neuropathy. Before this medication, the searing pain in my legs was unbearable. I could not walk because of it. I was originally put on gabapenton, and had such severe side effects that I quit taking it. My neurologist then prescribed me Cymbalta. He started me on a low dose, then after a month doubled it. Since then, I experience little to no pain. When I am a bit uncomfortable, I get in a warm bath and the pain is gone. I sleep better, have better control over my blood sugar as it does suppress appetite, but that means I am not munching or over eating. I can not live without it!!!"


"I have been fighting alcoholism since my early teens, detoxed by myself, and was dry for 12 years until last March. After two months of serious binge drinking, I ended up in A&E when I decided to detox once again without any suitable medication support. They provided me Diazepam and I cleaned up again, but it only lasted for three months. The vicious circle is much harder to break as you get older.

However, now, on Baclofen, I feel a tremendous improvement and do not feel the urge to drink. Indeed, the medicine worked amazingly well from the very beginning of the treatment. However, do address underlying psychological issues, as the medicine is not a magic bullet."


"I started on Victoza in March 2013 and lost 30 pounds by Feb 2014 despite being on some psychiatric medications that can cause significant weight gain.  I was diagnosed with DM2 in 2013 and was prescribed Victoza by my endo primarily to help with weight loss.   Initially I took the injection at night starting with .6 and gradually increasing to 1.8 to minimize nausea.  I was extremely nauseated and was given Ondasetron by my endo for the first few weeks which REALLY helped.  My other doctors were a little shocked that I was given this strong, expensive anti-nausea medicine, however I persisted as encouraged by the diabetes nurse.  I recently increased dose to 3.0 and hope I can lose more weight..    I encourage you to HANG IN - it's worth it."


"I received this medication through my PCP for horrendous arthritis pain. This medicine is a joke! Like taking baby aspirin!"


"Have tried other meds...had a sleep study.  Very little sleep and very light sleep, broken up..so Doctor tried Belsomra..has been very helpful.  Get about 7 hours with it, do dream more, but not unpleasant dreams.  Haven't tried going off of it yet, so can't speak to withdrawal issues."


"I've been on this medication for a week and I have already lost 7 lbs. I just up the dosage to 1.2 and my appetite is completely gone. But I noticed that it makes me urinate a lot. No side effects and loving it. Thank God I finally found something that's really working for me without having to pop pills and it last all day "


"I'm 28 years old and I had pretty good until up until I took hormonal birth control 3 years ago and I am still trying to repair the damage to my skin. I've been using a combination of benzoyl peroxide .25% cream in the morning on cleansed skin and trentinoin .05% cream (not the gel) before bed. My skin is very fair and sensitive but it's finally looking better after 2 weeks. So far I've experienced mild purging by the chin and cheek but they are not the huge cystic pimples I used to get before. I think the peeling and redness is worth clear skin in the end."


"I have been on Gianvi for about 5 years or more. I have severe PMDD problems, as well as a family history of severe period problems as well (too heavy bleeding, cramps, etc). Yaz has improved my PMDD symptoms by about 80%. It also makes my periods very light and easy with no cramps. I also have bad hormonal acne and Yaz clears my skin and makes it glow. I still get 1 or 2 pimples around my period but that's it. I went off Yaz for 9 months and it gave me horrible rebound cystic acne that makes me reinstate (my skin was getting ruined!) I am staying on it indefinitely and am fine with that. I love it."


"DO NOT USE! I tried this product for two days. On day three my skin went purple on my cheeks and became very painful, like severe sunburn. I read a report from the company who make the stuff and they said that patients forget what they looked like before which is why they think it is worse! I took before and after pictures and I look like I've been burned! TERRIBLE STUFF! I rarely used to flush and now it won't go away!!!!"


"I am in my fourth month of using this birth control and I am having much longer periods than normal, weight gain, and very tender breasts. Trying to get switched."


"I've had pretty bad sinus congestion start and bronchitis is going around my family so I immediately got on Mucinex. The regular Mucinex wasn't doing anything for me (blue box). I bought the maximum strength D and it's been a game changer. I can breath through my nose and I don't feel plugged up at all. I had no trouble sleeping last night BUT I also have to take Melatonin to sleep every night so maybe it off set the jitters some people report. I'm very happy with it. I will keep taking until this is gone."


"Cholestyramine Powder has saved my life.  In January of 2006 my Gastroenterologist was finally able to diagnose my stomach problem by taking biopsies during a colonoscopy.  For years, starting in the early 1970's, I had been told I had irritable bowl syndrome and controlled my flare ups by changing my diet.  But around 2002 my condition became so serious, I was fighting to keep 100 lbs. on my 5'2" frame.  I looked like a skeleton covered by skin.  My doctor and I tried various medications and I tried to control my stress.  Nothing was working until my doctor did a colonoscopy with biospies.  Now if I have a flare up, I use 1tbs of Cholestyraime Powder in 8 oz of room temperature water before bedtime and I'm good to go. "


"I had tried implanon (made me crazy), paraguard (made me crampy and I felt it during intercourse) and mirena (I felt it during intercourse) so I was pretty much out of options when this came along. The size difference worked out! My tiny frame worked better with it. No pain during intercourse and no weird cramps. I was worried that I would have weird spotting because that has been reported on it, but not me. I had 4 months of light periods, each about 4 days long, super easy. After that I haven't had any periods. I'm not a tiny girl either. 5"2' 160 lbs

Anyways! I love this and highly recommend it to someone who always felt the larger iud's and maybe if you're just sensitive to hormones, like myself.

Love this! Totally plan to get another"


"I had the implant put in August of 2015. Other than a few emotional moments and some numbness in my fingers I haven't had any problems. I did get a period in December of 2015 for the first time since getting the implant. It hasn't been a heavy period and blood is dark or brown in color with some small clotting. As long as the periods stop I think this implant is effective"


"I have had nexplanon twice. The first 2 1/2 years were great. I never had a period or any other side effects. When it came time to get a new one put in, I bled for months at a time. So, I got a new one put in and it effected me completely different than the first time. I bled constantly for months at a time. I had horrible anxiety and mood swings. For example, I would freak out on my boyfriend when he wasn't even doing anything. I didn't feel like myself. I actually had to get on antidepressants. I finally got it taken out of my arm yesterday after this went on for 6 months. I just don't understand why the first time I had it was so great and the second time was terrible. Nexplanon definitely can cause terrible freak outs and constant bleed"


"I had this birth control in since right after I gave birth. I was terrified of them, but I didn't want to get pregnant again yet. The first while was awful; mood swings, severe headaches, the works. BUT...after all of that, it got settled down. I have been on it for the whole first round and when it expired I got another. With it, I feel more balanced, more calm, like for the first time I can think clearly. My periods are lighter, and it gives me a peace of mind, lIke i never have anxiety anymore. I have gained about 10-20 lbs on it in the past 4-5 years, occasionally have acne if super stressed, but it has been a blessing for me overall not having anxiety or heavy periods."


"I love that the amount of negative reviews are because people don't know how to get the cap off lol. It's really not that hard people... afrin is wonderful.

Sincerely,
The person who knows how to take a child proof cap off."


"Singulair has been a life saver for me.  I am a newly diagnosed asthmatic which had become debilitating.  I was put on a course of prednisolone to relieve symptoms, then doctor tried to control asthma with inhalers.  Couldn't get under control with only the inhalers so was prescribed Singulair.  It is amazing, I hardly use my reliever. Before I was using anything up to 40 times a day.  Hayfever symptoms reduced also.  Able to run again, I'd reached the point where I could hardly walk never mind run.  Now I'm starting to get my life back."


"I've been on this BC for 4 months now, and I LOVE it! I've tried other BCs in the past, but I have experienced no side effects on this one. I started this pull due to hormonal imbalance (abnormal periods and acne), and it has cleared up all of my problems. After being on Ortho Tri Cyclen, I was worried to try something else, because it made my blood pressure sky rocket. My doctor recommended a lower dose to see if it would not trigger high blood pressure. I have had no issues. Even if TriNessa is not for you, please try other pills and talk to your doctor. There is something out there for almost everyone!"


"I started taking Wellbutrin SR 4 days ago. I took it in addition to Seroquel XR. It helped for a couple of days. During those days I only experienced some dizziness, and decreased appetite and sex drive. Although yesterday evening I was hospitalized with a 5 minute long grand-mal seizure. I don't have a history of seizure disorders, and the Doctors believe that this seizure was caused by Wellbutrin SR. If you take Wellbutrin SR and antipsychotics together, I suggest that you speak with your pharmacist or health provider."


"I've been trying to find a birth control that works with my body. Trinessa is not it. Ever since I've been taking it I've noticed I have less energy, I'm incredibly irritable, and I've gained weight even though I've been working out and watching my food intake. Beyond frustrating. Then there's also the nausea. I have three pills left and I chucked it into the garbage. It helps with acne, and to not get pregnant. It gets a 2"


"My story is really long and complicated. I was originally on Xanax and all it did was make me sleep. Switched doctors because my original doctor wouldn't switch me off the Xanax. New doctor prescribed me Lexapro. I was upset at first because I didn't feel I needed it, I thought Lexapro was an anti-depressant and I wasn't depressed.. About a month after I started taking the Lexapro I felt amazing! But then I lost my health insurance so they put me on Paxil. I miss my Lexapro! It was the best."


"My 11 year old son has ADHD with anxiety disorder.  This medication has helped him manage his anxiety (he is much happier) and he is able to focus better on managing everything from time to his emotions.  He has better stamina mentally and can perform mental tasks for longer periods of time.  He is also acting more mature and being more responsible. He takes 2mg at night 1 hour before bed along with gummy melatonin to help him sleep.  He sleeps well and feels good during the day.  Overall this medication has helped him a great deal.  It's like it took him out of his anxious rut and gives him a better outlook."


"Took entire 1 week cycle. It did nothing for my bronchitis symptoms. Lots of nausea, and I almost never get nauseous. Going back to the doctor to request a chest x-ray. Want to be sure I don't have pneumonia."


"Its a good painkiller."


"awful product. did not do anything it was supposed to. I have very very mild acne. I wouldn't even call it acne, just pimples. and everytime I have tried to use acanya it hasn't helped with any pimples and just left my face red and burned the next day. This redness stays for at least 4 days. It's so embarrassing and not worth it for a product that just makes your pimples MORE obvious because of HUGE red spots. awful product. throwing it in the garbage so I never have the idea of using it again."


"I have tried Naproxen, Celebrex, Motrin, 800mg Ibuprofen, etc... This was the only one that worked for my back pain.  Brought it down from a 8 to a 2.  It was good."


"I was only on Nucynta for 2 days.  50 mg tabs x 3 times a day. I have been taking tramadol with no problems, but thought this might work better, as tramadol does not always control my pain.

I must be very sensitive, as this medicine on day 1 made me feel as if my body were speeding, but tired and loopy at the same time.
Day 2 was more of the same, but I needed a higher dose in order to control a pain level of 7 that comes upon me as the day wears on.  I decided I did not want to go to 100mg because of my sensitivity to this medicine."


"Works great!  Been suffering with anxiety for a while now was very hesitant on taking any kind of medication was given this medication in the hospital and within 20 minutes I felt relaxed and calm wish I wasn't so hesitant and took it sooner.  Great for when anxiety attack comes on"


"Just started, prescribed as 500mg twice daily.

Blurred vision

Total body jerking (approx 3/1min, followed by single limb jerking for approx /30 min then repeat of total body jerking.

Head spinning"


"My Dr. prescribed Pristiq 50mg. after taking Cymbalta because of the terrible side effects. The only side effects Pristiq has given me is the lack of sexual desire but Trazodone 50mg. which I also take balances out that effect. I also take Tranxene7.5mg before bedtime and get at least 5 hours of straight sleep! I am doing much better."


"Loprox is excellent. I had excessive amounts of Seborrheic Dermititis. The solution cleared it up within a week. Yes, it does somewhat burn at first but in all reality is the best skin care on the market. I really do recommend that you speak to your doctor about Loprox."


"My results have been excellent."


"I have had nausea, headache and body pain. The body pain has been the most difficult. I had to stop taking medications because of this medication but also seem to have hypersensitivity in smell. So far all looks good but still in early stages."


"The first month of this pill I had breakthrough bleeding basically the whole month. I also had this terrible stomach feeling. The second month I had no bleeding and no weird stomach feelings. I just switched off to a lower dose pill due to my breasts growing 2 sizes and being extremely swollen (I was already a D I didn't want them any bigger!) and also I lost my sex drive completely. Happy to have had no emotional changes at all (in fact, I felt happier). Overall, this pill wasn't as terrible as all the reviews I've read made it out to be, but everyone is different."


"I was nervous to start this after reading such horrible reviews! I got this from planned parenthood and am about to start my fourth pack. This is the only birth control I've ever been on so I have nothing to compare it to but so far it has been very good! No pregnancy, haven't had too many side effects. My periods have gotten shorter and lighter. No spotting in between. The only side effects I have noticed is some slight vaginal dryness, but nothing too bad. I did get a few headaches and nausea here and there during the first pack but again nothing too bad. My body seems to have adjusted fine and I'm so happy for the lighter periods! I started my first pack the Sunday after my period ended so this worked out well"


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency

"After having kidney stones on a regular basis in college, my wife found beelith and I have been taking for 40 years without anymore kidney stones."


"I've been on Prozac for 2 years for post traumatic stress disorder, in May 2012 I had gastric bypass surgery and recently went back to my doctor because I felt like I wasn't even on my Prozac anymore (I wasn't absorbing it after surgery) so he doubled the dose. After 3 days I felt way worse! So we dropped the Prozac back down and doubled my Topamax. The combination of Topamax and Prozac made me feel awful! I had uncontrollable crying, bad nausea, and was probably the most depressed I've ever been. I was diagnosed with a mild form of Bipolar, so we started on 50 mg of Lamictal for 3 days then we bumped to 100mgs. Its been 5 days, but I can honestly feel a difference! Haven't cried since, feel better mentally and I'm just happier."


"I've been on this drug for about 2 years and I really like it! Results vary for different people, but for me it's made the hair on my body grow in finer, lighter, and *much* slower. It's not a miracle pill for me (I still have hirsutism), but it's made me 1000x more comfortable in my body. I never had hirsutism on my face, so I don't have any comments about that... In any case, this drug takes a looong time to kick in (6  months for me), but I definitely recommend it!"


"I am very very sensitive to medication. My psychiatrist and I tried several meds before landing on this one, which my body can actually tolerate. I was extremely depressed. Nothing seemed to lift the fog. After taking Abilify 2mg (at night), I noticed it's benefits a week later. I'm more determined, focused, and actually want to get healthier. No suicidal thoughts. Don't feel like a zombie. It does make me sleepy which is why I take it at night. It's been almost a month on this new medication and so far so good."


"First day sucked, and most of the second day sucked... I got home from work and was sitting on the couch watching pbs thinking about how much I hate tv, when I started to feel really good about watching it.. I liked the people in it and was interested in what was being said. It was obvious it had kicked in. As far as negatives I have a slight ringing in my ears... and I'm taking 150mg XL and I can only feel it working for about 6 hours. Maybe I'll have to up my dose or take another dose later. 25yr old male. Cheers!"


"These eyedrops are rubbish. This stupid product caused blurriness. NEVER BUY THESE!"


"What have they done?! They used a very cheap manufactured plastic bottle which can't be opened and used until drill a hole into it which leads to waste half the liquid, secondly its use makes your congestion worst completely blocked after its temorary effect is gone, you end up having no choice but become an addicted to its use.. never recommend it to anyone"


"Prozac is my happy pill, it took me forever to find something that works, but this is definitely mine!! I was beginning to be skeptical that anything would work.. Effexor and Prestiq was what I was put on before this, and that was a nightmare... This makes me think more clearly and see things in a different perspective, I see the good in life, and I don't get so easily upset over everything anymore, and if I do get bothered by something, I get over it in seconds... Helps with my social anxiety as well.. I've noticed I'm more talkative, and can deal with being around people better, before I was so badly depressed with possible bipolar or personality disorder.. I'm finally getting to know myself as a person and am much happier now."


"Caused massive weight gain-heart problems"


"Injection day- So this stuff is supposed to bring my A1C number down (6.0) and my fasting glucose (95) plus I may lose weight and it will control my PCOS symptoms.  I was nauseous and very sleepy.  Took nap, went for a brisk walk around neighborhood and played with my kid.  Nothing bad to report except that it hurts to eat anything more than half my fist size (and my hands are small).
Day 2- vomiting begins!  I was violently hurling.  Couldn't go to work and I kept passing out.  Went to urgent care as it was a holiday and my PCP was not in.  They tell me to take these nausea meds and if I keep throwing up I need to go to ER.  Could not eat but a few bites of food the entire day.
Rating it higher than 1 since I did lose weight- 7 lbs so far."


"My 5 year old son was prescribed Vyvanse as his first medication after being diagnosed with ADHD-combined type and we've seen a huge difference in his attitude already. He is so polite, much calmer (but not zombied), still has his personality and is active. He's become more aware of his surroundings and how to treat others around him appropriately. I can't wait for school to start again to see how well his social relationships will improve now that he's undergoing treatment. Side effects the first few days were not nice to watch but he adjusted and is doing awesome. No insomnia or appetite loss either, and he has no complaints; it's perfect for him!"


"It was like a wonder drug at first. Then, even though I went up to the maximum dose of 60 mg, I can no longer tell I am even taking it.  I stop it - then start it back up - still no help. It's just no good anymore."


"Didn't do much for me at all, often felt sedated. Motivation is really bad. It stopped me from crying 24/7 and now I have an appetite but thats about it. Onto the next med I guess, I need the next one to be much better."


"I've been using depo for 4 years continuously and it has been such a blessing. I've had no side effects. I haven't had a period the whole time I have been on it, and I personally love that."


"I've been on Cymbalta 30 mg for a week now. Regular depression, plus my mother got ill and passed away 3 mths ago. I have been able to stop crying, but I am SO TIRED. I hope this side effect will cease soon."


"I am very sensitive to hormones. This pill is great ...no side effects. I am very active and in tune with my body. No weight gain, no acne, no bleeding, no change in libido. Great pill! Worth every cent."


"This is like a miracle drug to me. I suffer from severe depression, anxiety & fibromyalgia. After 2 weeks on Cymbalta my pain significantly improved as well as my mood/anxiety.  I'm taking 60 mg once a day."


"I was the caregiver for 2 family members from 1997 to 2008.  I had the first full-blown stress panic attack in 2005.  Xanax was one of my medications and in 6 months, I was off drugs.  I have no regrets for those 11 years, but thought I was finally free to live my life.  However, I was wrong.  I now have continuous anxiety if I don't take 0.25 mg Xanax in the morning and evening.  I also have very high blood pressure to which a solution has not been found.  Xanax does lower it and I couldn't keep my sanity without it.  I have had no negative side effects, only positive."


"I've had scalp psoriasis for 20 years and this is the only thing that works for me. Tar shampoo can be effective but not if it takes me an hour to comb out my hair after....(I have long think hair). Elocon lotion works instantly! I will say that it stings if you have an open sore from scratching but if you use it regularly it makes an amazing difference. I would suggest the lotion over the cream for scalp psoriasis. I'm sure the cream would work better for your body."


"Just want to report my experience after just one dose.

I was prescribed 7 doses at 500mg for bronchitis. I went to the doctor because the cough I had was resulting in a suffocating feeling after the cough. I was in bad shape. After just one dose, the cough is not so devastating--certainly no longer feels like I am suffocating. Although I slept real good last night, I do indeed feel fatigued today. Now editing this comment after the full 7 day use of this medication. I didn't realize until the 4th day of use that I was experiencing the "dizziness" side effect that can result from use. That is the only reason this medicine doesn't get a 10 rating from me. It really knocked out my infection. However, the dizziness was indeed bothersome."


"I was diagnosed with RA in 2004 and began steroids and methotrexate. Next started Enbrel for approximately 8 months but the citric acid in the Enbrel was unbarable.  Then I began Remicade Infusions. I started out nine years ago every 6 weeks. I'm now on 700 mg every four weeks and weekly injections of Methotrexate  but wouldn't change a thing. I still have stiffness here or there but the fatigue and pain I use to experience are gone and I live a full and happy life. It's been such a Blessing to me."


"Could be made easier to swallow as they are large."


"My co-worker (who is also pregnant) suggested that I ask my doctor to prescribe Diclegis for me if I ever experienced nausea at any point in my pregnancy. I was sure I wasn't going to experience any of that until I hit week 7 & OH! I was in for a rude awakening. My nausea became horrible from day to day until I asked my doctor to prescribe something for my nausea. Of course, Diclegis was the medicine prescribed. After taking two at bed-time the first night, I didn't feel at all nauseated the next morning, therefore I didn't feel the need to take the morning dose. Now, only if I feel nauseated in the morning time, I'll take my morning dose (1tablet) and continue on with my day. The only downside? Diclegis can cause drowsiness."


"My 9 year old son has been on Vyvanse  for five years now he started out with 20mg he is now up to 70mg it works great my 5yr old little girl was just put on Vyvanse 40mg after trying numerous other ADHD medicines. It works well, I was on Ritalin for 25 years. I did not want my kids on that so glad the Vyvanse works."


"I wasn't even thinking of quitting.  I began taking Welbutrin/Zyban and within a week I hadn't craved smoking. It has been great and I have been smoke-free for almost 2 months now."


"I've been on doxycycline (100 mg daily for three months) twice, a year apart. The first time cleared my skin up beautifully. I had horrible cystic acne with new pimples popping up every day before I went to my dermatologist. I started clearing up within the first month. A year later, I started to break out again so I went back on it and my skin is back to being clear. I definitely recommend taking it with food, though. I got really bad heartburn for a week because I took this pill without eating."


"My son is 15 now and we have struggled for years with his ADHD. He has now been on Strattera for 2 years and has gone from straight D's in maths to A in achievement he can concentrate more retain information and does not lose it as he uses to. I have seen no side effects at all. At one point he went off it, lasted 5 days then chose to go back on it as he could tell that it helped his behaviour and way of dealing with things. I have only good things to say about Strattera."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"I previously posted my initial review after my first 6 weeks on Genvoya, so here is my update 6 months after that previous blood test.  In the past 6 months, my CD4 count has risen from 343 to 474.  This averages to an increase of 21 cells per month, which matches well with the official clinical patient trials for Genvoya.  I am very very happy with that trend.  So in 7.5 months on this drug, I've gone from a CD4 count of 326 to 474.  I don't want to get too jazzed about one set of blood test results, but I'll take all the good news I can get.  Most of my other bloodwork items came back within the normal ranges, which is nice.  I switched health insurance carriers January 1, and now my co-pay has gone down by 95%, which is fantastic."


"I have been on tyvaso  for a little over a year now and like one of the users said 9 breathes was to much for me. I stay somewhere between 5 to 7 breathes and it dose wonders for me. However I can't always find the time to get to the treatment 4 times per day..  I also take adcira and letirius. among the thee pulmonary hypertension( PH) meds I think that the tyvaso has the ability to be the best of them. I just wish I could focus enough everyday to take 4 pr day . Anyone knows anything helpful please comment. yall have a good day and good luck to all with your PH......"


"I have used this anti-depressant at varying dosages over the past 5 years and it has proved to be very efficient at managing my depression. I do wish to highlight the intense physical withdrawal symptoms I experience if I miss even one dose (flu-like symptoms). This is an excellent medicine but when you choose to lower your dosage, only do it in conjunction with a medical professional as it can be quite physically demanding."


"So far I have been on it 5 days and I am experiencing the worsening of my anxiety symptoms. It's like I can sit still and am in a constant state of panic that even my Xanax is not helping. I am praying that this passes quickly and I start to feel better. I am taking 10mg every morning currently. Supposed to do a checkin with my psychiatrist Tuesday so hopefully the side effects have lessened some by then. I am so amped up with anxiety I am hardly eating and walking about 16,000+ steps a day mainly from pacing. As a stay at home mom of 3 busy kids and a husband who travels frequently I hope relief comes soon!"


"It reduces urination frequency but has a very negative affect on my sex life. I'm going to have to stop using it."


"I have a very sensitive body.  I ended up in the hospital after 2 weeks of using Ortho Tri Cyclen and was very scared of going back on any birth control pill.  However, I'm on my second month of using Lo Loesterin Fe and so far it's been great!  The only side effects I've experienced thus far are breast tenderness, bloating of my breasts, and very little mood swings.  Other than that I haven't had any other problems.  Furthermore, I haven't gained any weight nor experienced any nausea.  My sex drive has shot up the roof rather than decreasing.  Must say, overall this pill has been great compared to other pills I've used!"


"I can't sing the praises of Frova enough. I have had migraines since I was diagnosed when I was 10 years old and I have been on 3 different migraine medication studies including one on Biofeedback for migraines. I have tried countless medicines that my neurologists have prescribed and alternative treatments like acupuncture. I have suffered for close to 30 years of having up to 3 migraines a week. I was kicked out of school for absences even with the top neurologist in the state saying that there was nothing I could do to prevent them. I was unable to work full time for 15 years. I went to a pain clinic & they had me try Frova. It worked & without the side effects of Imitrex. It has changed my life. It stops them completely. I have a normal life now."


"I had the Nexplanon inserted about eight months ago. I did plenty of research before, so I knew what to expect in the first few months, as far as bleeding/spotting, headaches, etc. Without birth control, I went through about five ultra tampons on an average period day. When my "period" came around on the Nexplanon, it was barely anything (light enough to wear a pantyliner while at work without needing to change it). I thought I finally found the perfect birth control. However, the last three or four months, I've had a constant period, with a couple of days here and there with nothing. It's terrible. And although it isn't as heavy as it used to be, it's heavier than it was when I started Nexplanon"


"So, I was really excited about getting birth control because I wanted to wait until my next pregnancy.  I got Skyla in June 2015. The insertion wasn't bad, but the side effects were. First, I got a really bad pelvic infection caused by Skyla. I was bleeding for a month straight with harsh cramps. Sex has been very uncomfortable, and also decreased my sex drive. I get horrible cramps even if I'm not on my Period, the pain makes me really nauseas. I also experienced weight gain. I get a normal 3-4 day period still. It's been a year and a half and I'm tired of this birth control. The only good thing is that I haven't gotten pregnant for these past 2 years."


"This drug is the best. I've taken it twice stubborn acne keeps on coming back.. That's the only thing, but to others it never comes back. I want to go on it again to get cleared up again.. I just started this birth control called the implanon and I think that it makes my acne worse.. I don't have big pimples, small looking ones that are annoying..I also have a lot of whiteheads because my skin is so oily.. I'm going to make an appointment soon.. Accutane works really well.. It clears ur skin like no other.."


"I love Trinessa I have had no negative side effects at all. It cleared up most of my acne scaring and I have been on it for 2 years now and had no pregnancy scares ever and I do it unprotected a lot. I would recommend this as a girls first pill to try."


"DIARRHEA. Remember that word, because if you take this stuff, you will be suddenly awaken during the middle of the night and forced to wreak havoc on your toilet bowl. I just blew up my toilet 45 min ago and am getting ready to pay it another visit as I write this. If you are reading this review, take my advice: use something else.  My cough was bad, but I would have gladly kept it if I knew my butt was going to turn into Niagara Falls."


"Don't seem to work for me .  If it does it's very subtle."


"I went on Doryx about 2 weeks ago and I've already seen a huge improvement. At first I thought the pills were really big, but they're not that bad at all (don't make it a bigger deal than it is!). You can take it at any time of day and watching the progress of your skin getting clearer is so awesome. I used this product with Differin and a prescribed face wash. I don't know if it will work for everyone but I do know it did for me. I didn't have much trouble getting a lot of acne so far. I think it just doesn't happen for some people. I'm seeing improvement right away.

RECOMMENDED!"


"Started at 25mg a day, and eventually got up to 75mg a day.  Rather than make me feel more expansive and energized this drug made me feel super lethargic and even more depressed.  I also experienced loss of appetite on this drug.

1/10 would punch Pfizer CEO in the face."


"I am about to turn 50 and my life of anxiety has been a recent and unpleasant downward spiral. I ended up in the emergency room twice with soaring blood pressure, flushing and heart palpitations plus overwhelming feelings of panic. I live daily with either anxiety or small panic attacks, they are debilitating and have affected my ability to continue work on my degree. After my last ER visit a doc felt I was having panic attacks and directed me to seek help at a Mental Health Clinic. I've tried several anti-depressants and I have not tolerated them well. Xanax (0.5 mg) has gotten me through many a day and night and I prefer this medication over all the others. It decreases the anxiety very quickly and helps to maintain a sense of normality."


"I have been on this pill for about 10 months & I LOVE it ! I originally got on it for birth control & it did the job. I haven't gotten pregnant after never using protection or any other contraception . I still get my normal 3 day period but a few months I had spotting or a longer period. overall, I love ❤ it and will continue to use it until I'm ready for another child."


"I was prescribed Adipex on Nov 10, 2014. I weighed 155 pounds. To some that might not seem like a lot, but it was to me. I had tried working out and eating right and nothing was helping. Today, Dec 22 I weighed 135. I have steadily lost weight since starting it. I skip some days and still feel energetic and not as hungry. The first week on Adipex, I had the worst dry mouth. I couldn't drink enough water. I still an pretty thirsty but it's manageable. Drinking water helps the medicine work better. I have also changed my eating habits to use when the pills are up. The first night I didn't sleep, but now I can go to bed no problem. This medication isn't a quick fix, it simply is helping you make life style changes to keep weight off."


"Keflex treated my bladder infection successfully with no noticeable side effects, and was also very affordable."


"Knee, loss of cartilage in both knees. Series 3 injections 1 wk apart. First lasted 12 months, second, same, now getting 3rd series. Works excellent. The use of Euflexxa has been excellent and continued to work well without pain for 12 months.  This is my third series of injections."


"It worked like a magic for my allergy symptoms. I think it took about 24~48 hours to kick in. Now I only use 1 spray per nostril everyday. If I skip for more than 2 days, I start sneezing again, and that's how I know this medication works. Now I am interested in looking into long-term use."


"Help! Can anybody who has had burning after using this horrible creme tell me how long does the burning last? Anyway how do you  stop the burning? I put it in once and have been burning for 24 hours... any way to stop the burn??"


"My diagnosis:  Major Depressive Disorder, GAD, ADD.  I have been on 40 mg of Strattera for over a month and have noticed a major decrease in my anxiety and uncontrolled thoughts.  It has only improved my ADD a small degree.  I have not seen any decrease in appetite maybe an increase. No weight loss and two pound gain.  Only side effects first two weeks were heart palpitations.  Please give this medicine at least two weeks before quitting.  I almost quit due to the palpitations (which were severe at times).  But now only positive results.  Drugs I am on:  Lamictal, Wellbutrin XR, Strattera 40mg."


"I was recently prescribed topiramate 25 MG tablet for neuropathy caused by type 2 diabetes.  I can not find any other place on here where this drug was prescribed for neuropathy, but so far it appears to be helping."


"First time taking pred and was on 40mg for Ulcerative Colitis.

Had the expected side effects:

-Moonface

-Weight gain

-Swelling and joint pain

-Bad headaches

-Brain fog and confusion

-Dizziness

-Increased appetite

-Irritability and mood swings

Overall it did control my symptoms effectively for a while but I do believe the side effects from this medication are worse than the actual condition.."


"I've gone through most of my adult life not knowing that I have ADHD. After finding that I had literally every single symptom. As my doctor said, Whoa!  You're off the chart here! I've been taking 20mg for a month now. Some of my symptoms bother me. Forgetting what I was talking about mid sentence, going into a room forgetting what I was there for. All in all though, I call this medicine a miracle. I hate thinking about how much of my life I've missed out on before this. I was in school to be a Pharmacy Tech. I dropped out within a month, because I just couldn't keep up, or focus. I feel good now. My insurance at first weren't filling it. My doctor had to call the insurance co, they approved it for a year.

My doctors appointment to check how this medicine dosage is working. I think I need to go up a bit. I don't have annoying side effects"


"My Dr. prescribed Naprelan for me on March 10th..By March 12th. my condition had improved 85%!!!

Ladybugluv"


"I'm 26 and a mama of 2 beautiful girls, so I decided a few months ago that I'm good on babies for a while and that I wanted to go with the non hormonal form of birth control (paragard). A few weeks ago I had it inserted, which was a little uncomfortable it pinched but it was quick and easy and over with in a matter of minutes. 4 days after it was inserted I started my period, which lasted 7 days (3 days longer then before) and it was alot heavier than before. Since then I've had a lot of  clear discharge and every couple days I will spot, with mild belly aches. But honestly it's nothing to make me change my mind, I don't have to deal with daily pills or hormones. So far I'm loving it!"


"I was depressed for seven months in bed and I was prescribed Viibryd 40mg. After 1 week I started to feel fantastic for at least 3 weeks and now I'm feeling like I'm on the roller coaster again (slightly down).  And to top it off I've gained at least 10 lbs. Made me very outspoken about almost everything (something I did like after any situation). I'm going to try it for couple more weeks and I hope things change. Also I'm not a person that has to have sweets, but on this medicine I began to eat sweets instead of wanting my regular meals.  Still hopeful."


"I have been having skin infections on my breasts off and on for 6 yrs. Ever since I developed mastitis when I was breastfeeding. I've been given Bactrim DS each time and advised to use  Neosporin CREAM, not ointment. I'm not sure if it works all that great. It DOES take care of the red, rashy looking inflammation surrounding the "boil"/"blister", but does not seem to even really touch the actual blister itself. Without medication it will take 3 - 4 weeks or so to heal, with meds it it takes 2 weeks. I think it has alot to do with the healing of the red rash part... so I continue to take it. The only side effect I have noticed is an almost unquenchable thirst. But, no nausea, insomnia or headaches for me."


"I have been taking  this for 3 weeks, feels no change at all , like it is like am not taking anything, have been watching what I eat and walking treadmill 45 min, Iv'e lost 3 pounds, but I feel no change in appetite or no side effects, are some people immune to this drug?"


"This was a great pill!! I lost over 30 pds in 3months.160 when I started down to 128pd.I have been off about 6months. Now I weight 160 again.when u stop the pill u will gain the weight bk I promise"


"I am 59 and it got to the point that I was avoiding sex.  I had pain with intercourse and had to use lubricant all the time.  I use 4mg once a week and am enjoying sex for the first time in years."


"Since the beginning of the pollen season (Mid-March) in  Atlanta. I've been miserable with chest congestion/asthma that wouldn't go away with all the various things prescribed for me (Singulair, Combivent, Astepro N.S., Allegra and Avlesco, which gave me thrush within a couple of weeks) UNTIL Asmanex! It took about a week, but then one day I realized I was able to breathe easier and each day got better. I haven't needed the Combivent since I started to clear with the Asmanex. I'll ask my Asthma/Allergy doctor if I can stop the Singular (since I also have osteopenia borderline on osteoporosis).  My mom suggested I move to another state, but I won't have to if the Asmanex is able to get me through the Atlanta pollen seasons (March-May)."


"I'm a 32 y/o female who has suffered from chronic diarrhea related to anxiety for about 5 years. I have anywhere from 2 to 10 bouts of diarrhea a day. I was very excited to try Lomotil after reading so many positive reviews.

I have been taking 2 pills 4 times a days, as prescribed. This medicine did not work for me, and the side effects are awful. I am still having urgent bouts of diarrhea. Also, this medicine makes me feel so sleepy that I can barely hold my eyes open. I took my last dose about 18 hours ago, and still feel very groggy. The dry mouth is so bad that it wakes me up, even though I have been staying hydrated.

I am discontinuing this!"


"This medication has helped me with my sinus headaches that I get often (not just with seasonal allergies). It helps with opening up my swollen nasal passages when my allergies are act up."


"I'm so excited to have found this medication! Nothing worked before to cure my constipation besides stimulant laxatives and enemas, and with my family history of colon cancer I wanted to avoid the stimulants. I have a regular morning bm now which is SO different from my weekly decision of what drugs to take to force it out. I'm on the lowest dose. But I had a bunch of drinks for the first time and the combination of alcohol and Linzess gave me horrible diarrhea all night long. Diarrhea never REALLY bothers me, but I thought it is an annoying effect if it'll happen every time."


"I have urticaria for more then 6 years. Finally I got this pill Allegra 180mg, finally works. I took about a week and my hives are really gone, and now I'm finally happy and I don't feel any side effects at all. "


"I started taking zoloft for panic attacks because xanax alone was not working and let me tell you - zoloft is a miracle. Zoloft feels like an anchor is on my brain keeping me so much more stable. It has even helped tone down my paranoia and hallucinations. Thanks to whoever created zoloft!"


"I am a woman taking flomax for severe urinary retention.  Flomax works wonderfully, although it did not start to work for me until I had taken it for about 3 weeks.  Initially there was some mild drowsiness and dizziness, which has mostly subsided.  Make sure you talk to your doctor about getting on a bathroom schedule so you can eventually stop taking this.  I was going 15 to 20 x/day and not able to empty below 200 ccs.  This combination has gotten me down to going only 6 or 7 x/day, and completely empty."


"While Skyla and other IUDs can be a great option for some women (convenience, effectiveness, etc.), it was the wrong birth control method for me. The insertion was much more painful than was expected, even though an ultrasound confirmed the IUD was in the correct place. I had severe cramping for the first 24 hours. Cramping then came in waves for a few days afterward, ranging from mild/manageable to acute enough for me to be unable to walk or stand. Aside from the pain level, the thought that a foreign object was inside my uterus was much more upsetting to me than I had expected it would be. Removal was also painful, but lasted no more than a few minutes. Nuvaring was a better choice for me."


"This medicine does work extremely well. It takes away all cravings. It is the best medication I have used to help complete my opioid free lifestyle."


"I had tried all the short term meds; like hydrocodone, oxycodone, ect. Over half my back and neck, the pads in between the vertebra are crushed or not there at at. My Dr. Put me on 60mg MS CONTIN 4 TIMES, on a 24 hour period. With hydrocodone as a break through, short term med. l need not say I rarely touch the hydrocodone. Sometimes I only take 2 or 3 MS CONTIN A DAY. MS CONTIN 60mg is the best long term for me, thank GOD FOR 60mg MORPHINE,, PAIN FREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"My experience may be helpful as I have been on this pill for 20+ years with GREAT success.

I starting reading reviews this morning and see while some are great others are not. My 21 year old daughter will be starting these pills next week after having horrible experiences with 2 to 3 others. Thought I would see what others are saying as everyone is different.

I have barely had a period in 20 years. Usually 3-4 days where only a panty shield is necessary. It is not red which used to concern me as did the lack of period. I stopped twice to make sure I was ok & after one full period went right back on these pills.

To summarize in an effort to be brief.

NO CRAMPS

NO PERIOD but light flow 3-4 days

OVERALL healthy

Still taking well into my 40's

After my daughter struggling I insisted they put her on these to try.

My OBGYN said the hormones were higher than some others was why she didn't start on them.

GREAT SUCCESS for me

Everyone is different. Hope this helps."


"The doctor put me on this to regulate my period. I've never taken any birth control prior to this. I took it for 2 days and started noticing a strange sensation in my chest. Not painful but uncomfortable as if I was not getting enough oxygen. I know it was the Aviane because I have never had that feeling before. I stopped taking it, and I am very disappointed that I reacted that way because I wanted my breasts to get bigger and my periods to get normal. The doctor switched me to Norethindrone because she suspects that I have an allergy to estrogen. "


"I have taken Klonopin for at least 20 years now and it is the only medication that prevents absences and myocloptic seizures. Sometimes I have breakthroughs but not often. I vary in my doses from 1 mg a day to 3 mg at times due to needing a little more or less. Since I have been on it for so long I am able to do this. I take it at nighttime because I cannot function during the day if I take it in the morning.  I think I have been on every seizure medicine there is and have had nightmare stories concerning them but Klonopin works the best for me. I believe every person is different and what works for one may not work for another. I do have to put up with occasional side effects like bouts of insomnia and breakthrough optical migraines."


"I first started researching the Mirena when my Dr suggested it so me because I sucked at taking the pill everyday, had terribly painful and heavy periods, and I had no sexual desire at all. After reading everything online I was very nervous about the insertion and I almost backed out last minute. Getting it in was very, very painful for me. The cramps were next to unbearable. I missed the next day of school and work because I was in so much pain. After about the 4th day, the pain and cramps finally started to subside. I bled for about 3 months after. Nothing that a simple panty liner didn't take care of. It was always just light spotting. I am so glad I kept it because it is almost a year later and I love it. I would recommend to anyone."


"I have nerve pain from diabetes. I was waking up several times a night with severe pain. Lyrica has allowed me to sleep through the night without interruption. So far no side effects to report."


"I had unprotected sex twice within a couple of days from each other. I nearly maxed out the recommended 3 day window before I took My Way. Within a couple of weeks I received what would have been my period however it wasnt a full out period. I had a heavy flow for 2 days and it was nearly gone after that. I thought it had worked but lately I've been nervously awaiting my next period to come. Still questioning the pills effectiveness I decided to go ahead and take a pregnancy test. Turns out I won't be a mother after all! My experience with Plan B and My Way were totally different. Between the two I had a more nerve wrecking experience this time around. Next time, save yourself the headache and wrap it up. Remember, it is not birth control."


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


"Always works for me. My indigestion is periodic depending on factors I haven't been able to pin down, so I don't take the drug before meals, but wait until I'm sure my stomach pain is rising. and then take two 75 mg ranitidine which reduce the pain within 15 minutes, and eliminate it entirely within 30 minutes. Antacids don't work for me."


"Excellent medication usually works great have no complaints when used for depression only."


"My quality of living without constant pain has been great...now the down side....attempting to go off the medicine...withdrawal etc. I was up to 100 mcg...I am now down to 37 mcg....will attempt to continue to decrease dose....wish me luck!"


"Everyone's different and some folks won't need the 20 mg a day. This medicine makes you feel like you never had an issue with cravings. They are gone, 100%,. After a while you forget what it was to have cravings and you may think the medicine isn't really doing anything, but try skipping it for a day or two and it will all come back to you! I still want to eat, just not bad stuff or big portions. I get hungry, but never so much so that I can't make good choices. That's the beauty of it. I think it will have to be made available for maintenance, maybe a lower dose, not sure. I wish more doctors knew about it. So many people are missing out on something that could really help them."


"I take only 5mg a day but it works for my mild ADD.  This gives me great concentration and I can get things done.  Without this, I can't even read an article in a newspaper.  This is my life saver.  The only catch is I get tense TMJ from this.  But I lived with it as the benefit outweigh the side effect."


"Hello everyone,

I'm your typical 18 year old lad and have never written on a forum before but I want to write something for the people that are worried about taking this (in my opinion) miracle drug. I am coming to the end of my 6 month course and I can honestly say it's been life changing.

Before I started Roaccutane, I was fairly depressed and seriously lacking confidence due to my appearance. But after months of failed treatments on various antibiotics, I was referred to a dermatologist who instantly said there's only one way to fix my acne problem, Roaccutane. At first I thought this is the worst case scenario and I'm going to be even more depressed as a result of the possible mental health side affects. Depression has run in my family so I was very worried. However, living like with acne wasn't something I was prepared to do, so I started the course on 40mg a day.

The first week I had a headache daily, but thankfully these die off after a week and paracetamol and ibuprofen will take all the pain away. Almost immediately, my lips were cracking and from then on in, I never went anywhere without some Carmex lip balm in my pocket.

As the first 3 months went by, I was still breaking out and was starting to think it isn't going to work. However, I'm so glad I stuck with it because now I haven't got a single spot of my face and the scars have faded to the point where you can barely see them! After the third month, my derm upped my dose and I started to take 60mg a day.

Luckily for me I hadn't had any serious side affects. Just your occasional nose bleed and dry skin, and sometimes my eyes were a bit blurry but it's not much of an issue.

Anyway, I just want anyone reading this that is worried about starting this medication, that not everyone has a horror story about Roaccutane and I couldn't be happier at how it's made me feel!!

Don't let acne take over your life!:)"


"I had insomnia and anxiety, probably mixed with a little depression. My doctor put me on Citalopram and sent me for CBT therapy for the insomnia and anxiety. I also did the 6 week self help book Sleepio programme for insomnia, yoga, regular exercise and mindfulness meditation that I would highly recommend. The combination worked wonders! The Citalopram took about 6 weeks to kick in but I definitely still feel happier on it than off! I find that I smile more and people smile back. I was on anti depressants when I was younger but they seemed to cut off parts of the brain whereas  Citalopram has a 'good feel' factor! It works for me!"


"I was given this medication because of fibromyalgia and insomnia. I was unable to get a deep sleep and as a result my fibromyalgia was very bad. I was not informed of the issues of long term use and have been on it for years. I started with a new doctor and the first thing she did was take me off of this medication down from 1mg to 1/2 for 30 days and then cold turkey. This is way too fast for this medicine. I have had heart palpitations, hallucinations, inability to sleep-at all, lightheaded, high blood pressure, racing pulse, really weird thoughts. "


"Unfortunately after taking my first dose of Zomig, I had an allergic reaction to it.  Upper lip felt like I was stung by a bee and started to swell up on one side.  This stayed in the same location for about 45 minutes.  After that, my left cheek started to swell and get numb along with my nose.  Off to the ER I had to go.  While it DID kick the migraine, I had an unfortunate reaction to it."


"My 6 year old was on tenex and I wanted an easier dosing approach therefore we decided to try Intuniv Er 1mg which was lower than the 2 mg of tenex she was on. She started on a Friday evening and by Saturday afternoon she was vomitting. I initially chalked it up to a stomach virus until days later the pyschiatric advised to immediately discontinue as the vomitting was an adverse reaction. She stopped 3 days ago and is still vomitting at least once daily. We have gradually introduced the tenex back and next week she will be back to her full 2mg tenex dose. I hoped to have good results but the reaction was too bad!!"


"Astelin is the only prescription antihistamine nasal spray approved to treat symptoms caused by both seasonal allergens and environmental irritants.

Astelin provides relief from bothersome nasal symptoms such as congestion, itchy/runny nose, sneezing and postnasal drip due to seasonal allergens or environmental irritants.

Astelin is steroid-free and does not contain pseudoephedrine."


"I have awful allergies and have since I was a kid.  At 30 years old I finally couldn't take it anymore, and gave in and started taking medicine.  I take a prescription strength Claritin, and use Flonase, Fluticasone Propionate. I really like it because it takes effect immediately.  I actually like the smell of it. It cracks me up because it is for allergies, yet smells like flowers.  I noticed it works best if you blow your nose first and use it first thing in the morning. I did experience a mild nose bleed about a week into using it, but haven't had one since and I have been using it 4 months now."


"Helped me sleep, when even benzos and ambien didn't. Also helps with my lack of appetite. I did gain 45lbs the first few months, but eventually I lost the weight. I actually liked the weight gain, I've been underweight my whole life. As far as anxiety, I'd say it helps me relax but doesn't slow my mind down like the Xanax I used to take. Still, mildly effective for anxiety. Download card from website, 30 day supply w no insurance will cost $11, without card, $77. Big difference."


"I got put on these today as I got a really bad abscess around my gum and tooth my left cheek is so swollen I can't swollen or eat anything. I've taken the first 3 but nothing has changed seems like it's getting worst maybe it's just me and it's too soon to tell but no side effects for me what so ever just make me abit sleepy..

This is prob the worst thing I've ever experienced so bloody painful and uncomfortable "


"Love this medication.  I do not experience any side effects and do not feel like a zombie.  I feel like a normal person, but can definitely tell this medicine works."


"very good"


"Was started on Wellbutrin 150mg for one month. Made me sleep and eat less but did nothing for my depression so my doctor increased it to 300mg. Within 3 to 4 days of the increase, I was having panic attacks and couldn't stop crying. Depression kicked into overdrive immediately."


"It either works for you or it doesn't. It seems like you get mostly all the side effects or just spotting. I have been on Nex for about a month and a half and I started spotting about 10 days ago. It is pretty annoying because I got it for birth control. Now I don't even have sex. I cry a lot now and I'm always hungry, although I haven't gained any weight. I'm waiting for my period to end! So many panty liners!"


"I'm taking 75 mg qid,or severe spinal degeneration as well as other issues. In the past I used dilaudid, percocet, and m.s. contin. Works great for pain but I am more tired than with other drugs. My insurance company denied approval, so I faxed them a letter explaining why I needed it and they approved it 10 minutes after the fax was sent. Thank God !!"


"I was prescribed Baclofen to help spasms and pain caused by my generalised dystonia with severe tremor. Initially I was put on a very low dose which was to build up gradually. I take a cocktail of daily medication but after two weeks of Baclofen added to my med cocktail I was in less pain. I noticed I'd cut my painkillers from four times a day to only once or twice, I didn't need them. I'm not saying I'm pain free or don't have spasms anymore but I definitely notice a great improvement. I did have unpleasant side effects to begin with, weakness, drowsy, drunk like feeling, it wasn't nice at all but I kept with it, the side effects improved and I'm so relieved I don't suffer the excruciating pain I was in."


Pinworm Infection (Enterobius vermicularis)

"Tastes like cake batter... not as bad as other medicines... works as long as you wash & thoroughly clean your house for several days after treatment as well as treat your ENTIRE family even if you think they have it or not!"


"I'm 16, and over the course of a few months I started becoming more and more depressed and anxious, after trying a few other medications along with none at all (only therapy), I started taking Zoloft as it has helped others in my family. The first 10 days (started at 25mg) were horrible, suicidal thoughts, no appetite, headaches and terrible anxiety but once I hit 2 weeks I felt so much better. I'm now 6 weeks in and on 75mg, I feel amazing, still get headaches but I'm not sure if it's related, I feel almost 100% myself, I'll give it a few more weeks and see if I need to maybe get to 100mg but honestly this medication saved my life."


"Been on it four weeks. Like the option to skip a menstrual cycle. My experience so,far is good. I decided to skip my cycle last week just to see how it would feel. Didn't miss it one bit. Love that option. Didn't miss the maxi pads or the mess a cycle can leave in my underwear.  I have an increased sex drive too.  Think, I might even skip my cycle during the summer unless my GYN decides things need to come out after my ordeal three weeks ago."


"Here's the thing... most of these reviews are from users that have used Chantix and quit in the past month... that's NOT quitting. That's medicated cessation. I've been a smoker for 35 years... On my 10th week of Chantix and while Chantix worked WONDERFULLY the first 4-5 weeks.. it's not working great now. In the beginning, Chantix make smoking unsavory. Not only did I not WANT to smoke, but I found the entire thing unpleasant. This was fantastic. However, going on week 10 now... I want to smoke and Chantix is doing very little to stop that. Realize Chantix TRUE success rate is only roughly 15%. It's NOT a "miracle" drug."


"I have severe pain, stiffness, inflammation in the shoulder/arm/hand from an injury that occurred years ago.  At first it was called severe left brachial plexopathy, but it has turned into chronic pain syndrome.  At first doctors prescribed heavy meds that caused really bad side effects, so I asked dcs to change pres.   Eventually the new doctors have been prescribing gabapentin, meloxican, celecoxib, and some other medications to help my stomach.  I was on a temporary trial for an spinal stimulator, together with my medication and it improved my pain.  However, for the permanent stimulator Dr told me to stop taking celecoxib for 2 weeks before surgery...  The pain came back so bad I haven't been able to sleep at all for almost a week."


"Been on champix now for 3 days and have yet to be bothered by any side effects .
I too was no where near motivated to quit
But I'm giving it a go for my children .
I've been a pack a day for 24 years . I hope this does the trick .
All the best everyone ."


"At one point, I was on regular seroquel as needed and seroquel XR daily. During this time, I gained a lot of weight that I just could not take off. I was prescribed the seroquel as needed, 25 mgs up to 3 times a day.
Later on, I was going through something else and seroquel had just gone generic. My psychiatrist put me back on the 25 mg pill as needed. I rarely used it and this time I didn't gain any weight from it, which I was relieved about. I know they say that the lower doses are supposed to make you really tired, but that didn't seem to have any effect on me."


"This is the best medicine I've come across for my whole body. I started using it for Tendinitis. I didn't realize my whole body was suffering from aches and pains until taking Mobic. If I run out of my prescription I can definitely tell a big difference. Thanks Mobic."


"I've tried many birth controls over the years and this one has had some crazy side effects. I now sunburn. I thought it was just me until I looked it up and realized birth control can make your skin sensitive to sunlight. I also get extremely nauseous now. Car rides and roller coasters, even standing up too fast make me want to puke. I haven't gained weight but I can't lose it either no matter how hard I try. And lastly, I am always anxious. I worry about every single little thing. I can't hardly sleep sometimes because I worry about going to work in the morning or needing to do laundry. I'm so anxious, I can hardly be around my friends, colleagues and family. My entire personality has changed since starting this birth control."


"My experience on this was bad. The only reason I hate this is because of headaches. They were so bad my eyes would not focus and they would get lazy, I tried everything and didn't notice it was my pills until I switched. I switched because I got weird cramps. It has helped against pregnancy, no gain weight, normal appetite, but the headaches were bad. When I went on my other pills I didn't like them so I tried to switch back to those and noticed right away the headaches. Not my favorite but it's different for everyone."


"Had the series of injections years ago.  Didn't help at all.  Ended up with knee replacement.  Now other knee is going and WITH insurance, injection of SynviscOne costs over $130 (co-pay) + $30 co-pay for visit.  I'm not having it done unless I get a guarantee that it will work.  RIP-OFF for the cost and a RIP-OFF that insurance doesn't provide better coverage."


"I remember the nurse telling me over the phone to eat a meal with this pill because it makes you nauseous. The pharmacist also told me to eat with this pill. I had a pretty heavy lunch before taking these pills (2) and two hours later, I was hit with an uncomfortable feeling in my stomach which turned into nausea. I had to call into work to say I was running late simply because I believed I would puke everywhere if I went then. Eat a big meal and take a nap afterwards. it's the only thing that helped."


"I've had nexaplanon almost a year now. I got the nexaplanon when I turned 16. The first month with the birth control I had only a light period. After then I haven't had a period at all. I can barely feel the implant. It wasn't painful but however after you do get dizzy and sleepy after you get it inserted. The next day you will be more energized than ever. The only negative is that you gain weight. I went from being 180 lbs to being 220. It is horrible. I'm planning to get this taken off because of it. Overall I reccommend it if your 16 to 35 years old even to regulate periods."


"I have used this at 1/2 the prescribed dosage for over a year. My cholesterol levels have improved dramatically even at the lower dosage. I do not believe my cholesterol is a problem but have succumbed to my doctor. I would not take statins although my insurance company says I should. I am pleased with the results."


"I have suffered from major treatment-resistant depression for 32 years.  I've tried so many medications along with polypharmacy for this, and almost nothing helps.  The only antidepressants that are of any use are citalopram, buproprion, and Abilify.  Even this combination doesn't always work--usually the citalopram stops working after a number of months, and I have to switch it out for sertraline.

A few years ago, my psychiatrist tried adding 20 mg of methylphenidate twice a day.  What a difference!  I am now able to get out of bed, work, focus, smile, and have something that approximates a normal life.

The only problem with this, is that I am now completely dependent on the methylphenidate in order to function."


"I have been dealing with nodular acne for years. I finally decided to go to dermatologist. She prescribed minocycline. In a week, I begin to see results. My skin was cleaning. Unfortunately by the second week, I started to break out in hives and was itching really bad. I called the doctor and explained what was happening. She told me to stop taking the medicine due to my allergic reaction to it."


"I used to be on Vicodin 10/500 for my severe pain due to rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, fibromyalgia and spinal issues. My pain is chronic and severe. I've been on Norco for 4 months now and did not feel any difference from the Vicodin. Last month my pharmacy gave me a different brand. It was amazing! First time in a few years that my pain was less. I even found myself missing a dose because I was feeling ok.  Believe me all genetics DONT work the same way."


"I have taken Lomedia for years and have absolutely loved it.  When I went to my pharmacy a week ago to pick up my prescription they told me that Lomedia had been suddenly discontinued and so they had given  me Blisovi.  She explained that it's suppose to be made by the same company as Lomedia and is SUPPOSED to be the same exact ingredients.  THAT CANNOT BE TRUE.  I have had no issues with my periods for years and now I am bleeding heavily, am very bloated and my face is suddenly breaking out.  I do not believe it's the same pill, something is different.  I do not recommend this pill."


"I have a mild Traumatic Brain Injury and after the first week of using it dramatically reduce the brain fog and improved cognitive function.
However after several months of use no further improvement have being noticed."


"I did not experience any weight gain, but I do have insane periods. I won't have one for a month and then 44 days later I'll have a period for two weeks. I don't really care about the random periods because I've suffered from this my entire life, but I'm coming to the end of my 3 years, and my mood swings around the time of my period are HORRIBLE. I'm emotional, and just crazy. I'm not sure if this is due to the Implanon, but its gotten severe in the past 5 months, to the point where its disrupting my life and my relationship. I loved the Implanon except for these past 5 months. VERY effective form of birth control, but not so great at stopping the periods."


"This medicine does wonders.  I am a 27 year old male who suffered from severe cyclical depression.

This drug, (also known as fluoxetine when I get it cheaper), did wonders for my outlook and disposition of the world.  It feels as if a solid barrier has been thrown up in my mind against things which would otherwise stress me out or cause depression.  It also has a profound stabilizing effect in general on mood, thoughts, and feelings.

I am deeply thankful for this drug.  I would suggest trying it if you are reading this and suffer from these conditions."


"Well. I took 4 tablets as directed before I went to bed. After around 12 hours, the tablets allowed me to use the bathroom as soon I awoke in the afternoon. Insane diarrhea though, but I'm glad that it helped my constipation."


"Hello all, I'm 34 years old and have fibromyalgia and Anxiety.  I have taken all the anti-depressants out there and xanax is the only one that truly helped me.  I have been on xanax for the last 8 years of my life.  I am prescribed two 2 mgs a day.  I take it as needed, and often I split a 2 mg in half.  If I'm off work for a day, I will maybe take a quarter to half for the entire day.  Recently my regular doctor weaned me off of it, I thought I would be okay, instead I started having panic attacks every day.  They were so bad that even being around 1 or 2 friends, for a long period of time, I would almost lose my shit.  I had seven or eight 1 mg xanax left when I saw a psychiatrist, I told him what was happening and he wrote me a script instantly."


"I just started with Opana ER 5mg every 12 hours. The first time I used it, it did help with the pain, not much but a little. Then after a few days, I started suffering from some of the side effects. Anxiety attacks that verged on the near panic attack stage, difficulty breathing, and a few others. I told my doctor that I have heart problems, asthma, and a history of seizures, but he decided that he would give it to me anyway.  I am glad that Opana ER works for some, but it is not the one for me."


"Took this have been sick all week from one dose and I will be glad when it wears off  and I will be not taking any more. I had heart burn, an upset stomach, felt so full and sick especially when I eat. No more of this stuff - one dose enough."


"On 0.5 mg with 20mg escitalopram at day time and 0.5 mg clonazepam at sleep. Nice medicine and completely drives away my anxiety, especially the running heartbeat and sweaty palms  using also propranolol 20 mg, for social anxiety disorder and racing thoughts, would rate it 10 if my concentration in studying would not have decreased due to one of above mentioned medicines. Overall good, taking it since past 5 months."


"Was it effective in preventing pregnancy? Yes. Did it make me miserable every day it was in there? Yes. Extreme pain in cervix every two weeks, bright red super heavy periods that would fill a cup in two hours when it's supposed to last 8-10. Weight Gain and bloating. Extreme PMDD symptoms."


"This is my second month on it. I switched from Junel to this since the pharmacy I go to doesn't carry Junel any longer. I have had no negative side affects and no pregnancy. I was nervous at first because everyone is so negative about it. But hey guess what? Everyone's body is different and will experience different side affects. So if this is a new BC for you. Give it a chance."


" I Have Struggled with adhd for 10yrs an finally my doc did something about it:) However I did have sleeping problems for first few weeks but that was expected with it being a stimulant but after a month or so my sleeping is back to normal and my mind is not spinning out of control so THANKS DOC!  "


"In my personal experience this was horrible. Been on it for 3 days and just took it off tonight because I can't handle it anymore. I am puking all night (10-12 times) and can't hold anything down. I am having body aches and can't stop shaking. And also a massive headache that advil won't get rid off. It works for alot of people, I guess just not for me."


"I just started taking this pill to stop menstrual migraines. Well all I can say I want to get off. I'm a 7 day bleeder and it's been 10 days and I'm still bleeding heavy. I've had more headaches, and migraines than usual. I want to stop but I'm going to give it 1 more month hoping that this will all subside. Fingers crossed."


"Great medicine, I find it works best when I take it everyday around the same time. Also, I went to the Kapidex website, registered there and got a coupon for $25 for 30.  I'll gladly pay $25 per month for the relief this medicine brings."


"Had 3mm stone for a month. Went to ER twice, the second time morphine was not effective that is when doctor prescribed this medication at that point I was unable to pass urine but felt the extreme need to go. Doctor indicated I also had mild bladder infection due to inability to pass urine. Took this medication for two weeks and an hour or so after each daily dose was able to urinate which was a joy I had taken for granted. Stone passed at the end of two weeks... never felt it but pain has been gone for weeks. Drink lots of lemon water and pray kids I know its tough but I never had any side effects with this drug and would recommend it."


"I was on a three month trial because I ha r heavy periods, the first week was great it lightened my period. But on the 8th day of taking my first pack I became extremely sick, vomiting, diarrhea... Had to stop taking it because it was making me so sick. Be careful!!"


"I have been quit for one year and 4 months after smoking for 35 years. I took Chantix for 6 months. I didn't even set a quit date. I just started taking Chantix and let my quit date happen naturally. After cutting down drastically for 3 or so weeks, I just lost all desire for cigarettes so just stopped smoking them. It was Chantix and a list I created of things to do instead of smoke that was the key for me. I had tried many other times to quit so had a good idea of what worked for me and what didn't. I think that quitting a habit is a very personal experience and what works for some may not work for others. As to side effects, I had weird dreams and nausea, but eating with the pill helped. I truly believe Chantix saved my life."


"I've been using this brand for a month and a half now. So far I like it. I haven't had cramping or bloating, I haven't gained any weight, I may have actually lost about 5lbs. I've noticed a very high increase in my sex drive, and I've had a couple mood swings of being very emotional, but your body needs time to adjust to all the hormones! My breasts have had a sensation similar to when I was pregnant, so I get the feeling that they are growing, which I like! So far so good."


"I have been taking 300mg of gabapentin 4 weeks ago for moderate neuropathy.  My biggest problem was radiating intense pain from the little toe on my right foot.  Within days, my pain was totally gone.  However, I am constantly very sleepy.  Hopefully that will subside over time."


"I have been on Remicade since I was 7 years old when I developed crohns disease, I am 26 years old this year. For the past 19 years I have been receiving this medicine and it has kept me healthy. You do need to find a cycle be it 4, 6 or 8 weeks for your infusions. I do every 6 weeks and it keeps my symptoms minimal. The day of and the day after the infusion I feel like crap, tired, painful joints, but after that wears off I feel a lot better than before the infusion."


"I'm 26 weeks pregnant. Had my first ever
YI about 3 months ago. Used Monistat
3 like OBGYN said and it was awesome! No side effects at all. I got this YI about a week ago so bought another box and I used the first pre-loaded cream tube last night....was up for hours crying it burned and itched so bad!! But I wanted to power through so After awhile I put a cold rag on my vajayjay and some vagisil cream on got some sleep. No itching at all today! Put another dose tonight and instantly felt a burn but for about 2 min only and now I feel fine. That unbearable pain from last night so was worth it today to not be itching and damp all day!!!"


"nausea"


"This medication is terrrible. Right away I was experiencing nausea every day. I had blurred vision and I felt like I couldn't think very well. My brain was all foggy. I craved sweets and carbs all the time. I took it for a month and gained about 15 pounds. I also had the most extreme horrible vivid nightmares where I was afraid to close my eyes and sometimes I felt like I couldn't wake up. I woke up covered in sweat with a racing heart frightened. I also got brain zaps where it felt like my brain was being electrocuted for a second I feel like I turned into a monster on this drug. I was filled with so much rage and anger and I hated everyone and everything. I would have times that I just broke down crying uncontrollably. So i switched"


"I am 65 and need hip replacement. This product has done little to help my situation."


"My experience with this medication started when I was 14 yrs old. I knew nothing about this medication and I wish someone would have sat down and told me what exactly this medication does! I decided for the 3rd time to try to get off this medication, I finally decided this time it was enough, so my last shot was Oct 2016. THE BEGINNING was great I was happy go lucky outgoing had my life back after having a beast reduction. No period no cramps gained a few pounds but it was worth it at the time for freedom. NOW at 23 I've been in the hospital and given 3 pills at once. I've soaked threw over 10 pads a day and blood clots after blood clots depression weight gain acne severe cramps dizziness tiredness and withdrawals from this medication."


"Had experienced ED for awhile due to antidepressants and other anxiety meds, so needed a little extra boost to get my confidence back. Got a free trial of Cialis and it was great! Started out taking 5mg daily. Within about 6 hours of taking the first dose, I suddenly got turned on and wow it really kicked in! Gave me rock hard erections. I felt a bit flushed that first day or two. Then the moment arose and I had sex on it, and wow. I was like an 18 yo again. I didn't have to worry about things not working, I could just focus on enjoying, which was great! It was great because I got rock hard anytime I was turned on. I did notice I felt very flushed and also had bad lower back and leg pain the first week or so. But that went away. I loved it!"


"Started Taltz on 4/29/17 and took my final does a few weeks ago.  I had such high hopes but it did not work for me. I'd taken Humira for years with amazing results until it stopped working last October. Then I tried Stelara. Skin got worse, much worse. Taltz seemed to help a little at first. Thinned out some of the plaques. Then it stopped doing even that and my skin has gotten progressively worse.

Another note on Taltz...the injections HURT.  I found them by far more painful than any others. And it didn't stop hurting after the injection. Also, I had huge injection site reactions from it, 6 inch welts. It would have been worth the pain if it had worked. It didn't."


"When you use it it may still hurt. For me, I put it on before bed and leave until morning. By the morning it is an improvement. Every time it has taken the sunburn off almost completely or fully complete."


"If you suffer from an anxiety disorder or depression, I would be very cautious with this medication. I suffer from chronic migraines and anxiety and depression, and was given DHE on multiple occasions for my acute migraines. As soon as the medication entered my body, I felt restless and anxious. Within 2 minutes, I was having a full-on panic attack; I was completely terrified even though I knew I was entirely safe. The horror consumed me & I lost my perspective and was convinced that I would feel that way for the rest of my life. I felt so hopeless that I couldn't bring myself to ask the doctor for help. It did help with the acute head pain, but it left me so terrified and anxious that I was back in the ER within 2 days for another migraine"


"I was on the generic form of Prozac 20mg for anxiety/headaches for about 6 months. During the first few months I worked out at least 3 times a week & didn't notice a difference in my weight loss I became frustrated with it. I also felt like I needed more help, well Once my dr increased my dose I maybe worked out once a week & the weight piled on. I was always sleeping and didn't feel like doing anything. I went and saw my dr & told her to take me off this bc it wasn't working and the weight gain was awful 20 pounds in 2-3 months. I started Budeprion XL 150 mg once a day. today is my third day and I already feel that im not as hungry, I have way more energy, last night I felt like I was drifting in & out sleep, may need meds to help sleep"


"I'm really hesitant to go off of Lo Loestrin after 5 years because, for the most part, I've loved it. I used to get crampy periods and since I've been on it I get no cramping whatsoever, barely-there periods (I spot just a tiny bit and then that's it), and no weight gain or moodiness. However, I've had such issues with dryness (I can get wet but can't stay wet during sex) that I think the time has come for me to try a different pill."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"My 81 yr old father had to get two colonoscopies in 3 months.  For the first one, he used a different prep that required him to drink a gallon of liquid.  He had a really hard time with it and didn't finish it.  The main advantage of Moviprep was that it is much less liquid.  We mixed it up the night before and put it in a refrigerator set low so it would be very cold when he drank it.  We also mixed a little lemon-lime Vitamin Water, made him use a straw to drink it, and had him suck on butterscotch candies after each drink and he got through it all pretty easily.  I can't rate this a 10, since it still doesn't taste great, but it was much better than the other stuff he had to drink."


"I use it whenever I really need it and it works excellent! 10mg takes about 15 to 20 minutes to kick in but I'm not complaining. Takes my nausea away completely, I love this medicine."


"Have had a great experience with vraylar. Went from oversleeping on a regular basis (on risperidone) to sleeping a healthy 8-10 hours. Feel sharper, more social, and generally in a better mood. Unfortunately have been dealing with insomnia and on and off nausea. It's been two weeks since starting. Overall the positives outweigh the negatives and I'm hoping the side effects subside over time. Give it a shot."


"I got severe depression in College, had it in high school as well and took some antidepressant that started with an L (I really can't remember). I started taking Prozac my 2nd year in college after my girlfriend broke up with me. It helped tremendously overcome the loneliness. The only problem I've ever had with it is my REM sleep. I didn't take my pill for 2 days over spring break this past week and had the worst panic attack I've ever had in my life I thought I wanted to die, it was the worst car ride I have ever experienced. As soon as I took my Prozac everything was better. I trust this."


"Pros: not pregnant, cleared my skin up, first pill to not make me nauseous.

Cons: severe anxiety, depression, mood swings are intense, dizziness and light headed, no appetite, sleep issues, headaches and migraines.

I think it's time to try another pill.."


"I have always have the odd few spots but being 28 and just breaking out in acne 6 months before my wedding was a bit of a shock. The doctors prescribed me Duac and within two days I noticed a difference and felt I could leave the house without foundation for the first time in months. The only side effects I've experienced is slightly itchy and dry skin. I don't mind this as the spots were painful and for the first time I can put moisturising cream on my face."


"I took Provera pills daily to stop my periods to kill the monthly pain. I chose pills over the shot so I could have control of deciding when/if I wanted to stop.  I took the pills for 6 months.  The first month I had lots of breakthrough bleeding - basically I was slowly bleeding for a few weeks.  After that I had no period, no spotting, no cramps - that part was FANTASTIC!  However, for me the side effects were severe and unlivable.  I had insomnia (waking in the night) every night.  I had night sweats every night.  I gained a little weight.  I had extreme vaginal dryness/painful intercourse which was a first ever for me.  My sex drive was non-existent and my acne and facial hair (PCOS) got much worse."


"I like this medicine. I was using hydrochlorothiazide for almost 10 years.  My physician just recently change me to Lisinopril and it has caused swelling in both my ankles and feet."


"Amazing! I understand when people say they tried everything. I didn't have severe acne but persistent and regular plus it didn't help that I was a real squeezer and probably made whole situation worse. And I already get anxious about social situations so the skin problem added to that!
I was able to go on a low dose, 20mg which I was scared wouldn't be enough but this stuff is strong! Can't complain about the dry skin as how else is it going to work? The whole idea is to make you less oily. Lips were very dry and gross at the start and whole layers were peeling off but that isn't so bad now. Have been through about 10 lip balms already! But that's it really. Sometimes feel a little tired but that could also not be Accutane."
