"So I decided skyla was the option for me because I recently got diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder and the hormones from birth control pills were too much to handle. I'm 21 and I've never had kids before so I didn't want to do paraguard or mirena due to the size. The insertion process was not the best but it was not the worst it could have been. I definitely psyched myself out thinking the absolute worst was going to happen due to all the reviews I read on here. As long as you take 800mg of Advil or ibuprofen about a half an hour before the procedure you will be fine. I can describe it as poking in places I've never been poked before, a little bit of lightheaded was and you're done. Had some cramps but I'm happy with my decision"


"I have severe neck pain from herniated discs, bulging disc, foraminal stenosis, osteophytes and arthritic changes in the neck. I was also depressed from chronic
pain and anxious about the pain. It has interfered with my life and stopped me from enjoying life. I started on Cymbalta about a month ago. My pain seems to have improved some but has not yet gone away. The side effects have been troublesome including dry mouth, constipation, palpitations, rapid heart rate, some sweating, tremor, and difficulty urinating. I plan to give the mediation three months before I suggest a change to my doctor, based on the comments above. Hope it works."


"I can take 0.5 mg twice a day as needed. Some days I don't take it. It helps so much even with my depression. I take one of these if I'm planning on killing myself because I'm suicidal every day,  & the urge wil pass once this calms me down.  I take it for anxiety, panic attacks,  & twitches/seizures."


"I had a lumbar fusion and discectomy and the neurosurgeon discharged me from the hospital with Norco 10/325. That was not a good post-op medicine. I went to my PCP and he prescribed Oxycontin 40mg 3x's a day and that didn't help. It made me itch all of the time. Finally, he started me on Vicodin HP 10/660 4x's a day and it has helped TREMENDOUSLY! Two thumbs up!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I had a very positive experience.  I mixed the Suprep with cold water.  I utilized a straw to suck it away from most of my tongue.  I was able to get the entire initial dose down quickly, and and while I was still able to taste the product, it was not that bad.  I immediately chased the Suprep with some grapefruit seltzer water mixed with lemon juice which removed all residual taste.  The first movement came on in an orderly fashion within 30 minutes and continue every 15-25 minutes for the next few hours.  I utilized Desitin in after each which prevented any rawness.  The next morning I repeated the same process with the same results.  By the 4th movement on the second day the necessary clarity was achieved and the procedure went well."


"The binder change several years ago caused internal bleeding, severe bloating, complete loss of appetite as well as liver, kidney & pancreas issues.  It was so bad I was in bed 24/7 for several years.  I had to change doctors to change the medication and everything improved immensely.

The Mayo Clinic wrote about this reaction."


"Thought this medicine was great at first, but after going to 300mg dose, got yeast infections, terrible itching and burning. Tried all the suggested ideas, probotics, washing more, baby wipes, drinking more water, vasoline, moniststat, but to no avail.  Would clear up for a few days and start up again. Just could not stand it any longer. While I could eat slightly more carbs, only lost about 10lbs after 5 months and then it seemed like when I did eat carbs my sugar went up and stayed up until I ate my next meal before going down.  A1c only went from 7.9 to 7.8 after three months on the higher dose.  Also had terrible dry mouth and frequent urination.  Just unsure of this medication."


"I will concur with everyone on here that is recommending the water, no lying down within 30 minutes after taking your current dose (try not to take it right before bed) and taking probiotics to help stave off GI issues. These three actions are they holy trinity with taking this stuff - I cannot stress that enough. My first night taking it I forgot about the aux warning of "do not lie down within 10 minutes of taking this drug" (I recommend 30 min) - extreme heartburn ensued. Lots of water and yes, do eat; you will have a better experience. Note: "a lot of water" = at least a cup or two of water (8-16 ounces)."


"Tried this medication for prevention of migraines. I developed severe numbness in my hands and feet and unrelenting pain in my arms. I also had huge problems thinking at a normal speed. Took it for 3 months thinking well I'll adapt and the side effects will lessen or go away. Nope. Didn't help decrease the frequency of my migraines either. I was very surprised at the side effects as I usually don't have any sensitivities to medicines. Hope your experience is better."


"Too expensive, caused depression and restlessness, caused nightmares every night."


"Prior to taking Daliresp - had to take inhalers everyday (always before exercising, occasionally just to breathe normally), frequent lung infections (3-4 per year). Felt like I had a lung infection once again when the doctor prescribed this med instead of the typical antibiotics and prednisone.

After taking Daliresp - felt much better in a few days, no longer need to take inhalers (only 1x in last 30 days) and exercising (jogging and weights) almost everyday. Big improvement.

Only downside - occasional headaches, maybe 3-4 times per week that go away after a couple advils.

Overall, big improvement in quality of life."


"Works well in combination with an SSRI. I stopped Buspar due to drowsiness and immediate weight gain. I experienced increased appetite and wanted to eat constantly.
I was diagnosed with Adult Attention Deficit Disorder without Hyperactivity. I currently take Adderall, low dose Wellbutrin XL, and low dose Prozac.
The Prozac and Wellbutrin XL assist in alleviating depressive symptoms during the winter months.
Everyone is unique. Talk to your doctor; follow their advice."


"I have had good luck with this.  I take bromo in combination with carbo/levo.  My experience is this drug helps to smooth things out so you don't have so many peaks and valley's in your on/off cycle."


"I most often used only when I want that cigarette in the morning I keep busy and focus on my health I use my spray 8 times a day. I use rubber bands on wrist when urge comes to smoke because I don't want to depend on spray, light exercise and walks where smoking isn't allowed. my house doesn't smell like smoke, my clothes do cause I can't wash them all at once I can breathe better. believe believe believe"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"I was just finishing my last glass of part one wondering how long til I'm hitting the bathroom.So I googled my inquiry and this review site popped up. I must have read several reviews, belching away the bloatingness and I read how the reviewers' stomach rumbled,and so mine began- I started after 7 pm,chugged first three down pretty timely, just trying to avoid feeling nauseous, I can deal with bubble guts but not vomit.  Last one went kinda slow, but I finished and a few sips of Gatorade and I'm on the way. Not bad-this stuff is going to do the trick!  The taste isn't that bad, just a salty version of lemon Gatorade.  Not thick at all.  If you have sensitive buds, it may be harder to finish, but take your time,keep cold and u r good 2 go- literally!"


"My son has been on this medication for 4 years. He's now on 40 MG and it has been a Godsend! He went from Ds and Fs to As and Bs.  It wears off after school but as long as he makes it through school that's all that matters to me!!! I would recommend this medication to any parent. It truly has helped our son and brings out the best in him!"


"39 been smoking since 13. Day 3 of Chantix, not really watching my cigarette intake, but have noticed I've been smoking the same pack for 3 days. No nausea, have had a headache that comes and goes, and sleeping a lot, like can't hardly stay awake. Dreamed last night I chased a high school teacher that accused me of something I didn't do all over the country throwing water balloons at her, and woke up laughing my head off."


"I am 52 years old and clearly have been through the change of life. I've had no period for years. All of a sudden, I have some spotting so I go to my doctor. He does a surgical procedure to scrape the lining of my uterus and then puts me on 2, 10 mg Medroxyprogesterone a day, for 20 days. Four days after my last pill the bleeding started. I have NEVER had such a bad period in all of my 52 years of life! I have had 3 children and this is worse than the labor of all three!! I will NEVER take that medicine again!! They can do a hysterectomy and take the womb I haven't needed in decades. I can't even leave the house because when I stand up, I gush blood!! Roll over in bed, gush blood!! Not Happy!! Why didn't my doctor warn me about this?????"


"I'm finishing up my 1st month Of Aviane, and all I have to say is it is great. I've had a little spotting but it's never that much and it never lasts for more than a couple of hours. I haven't gotten any mood swings, no weight gain and my acne has cleared up very quickly. This is definitely the birth control I would like to stay on. Even though everyone's different this pill works great for me."


"The only thing I don't like about this medicine is that it doesn't work for very long...3 hours at the most."


"This drug gave me bad reaction from the very first dose. My doctor thinks I had Serotonin Syndrome from taking this with an antidepressant. I got a fast heart rate, flushed face, restless, like taking some kind of stimulant. They cut my antidepressant dose in half which helped some but I still couldn't stand the side effects. Lots of nausea too. Pain relief was ok but not great."


"Took this pill 40 hours after an incident during ovulation time. After a few days I was worried that it didn't work because I wasnt experiencing ANY symptoms. I got my period 11 days after taking the pill (exactly the time I was supposed to get my period) and it ended up being heavier and lasted a day longer than usual. Again, I did not experience ANY symptoms whatsoever. My period has now finished and I'm just relieved I can go on from here. Thank goodness this pill worked for me."


"I have suffered from anxiety and mood swings most of my life.  But since my divorce and living alone the depression was becoming debilitating.....  Feeling paralyzed by fear and barely functioning by taking Xanax.  Friends and family were very concerned that I was going to drop off the edge.  I am highly sensitive to medication.  And having tried over 1/2 dozen antidepressants with side effects, I thought I was doomed to a life of torment.  A friend was taking it and liked it, So, I tried it.  I did have side effects in the beginning.  Nausea, loss appetite, racing heart but most are now gone.  I still clench some and my jaw gets sore.  But I am so much better! 4 months was a big turning point for me. So don't lose hope!"


"I was on Synthroid for 18 months. Couldn't walk, because of water retention so after reading about Armour decided to try it. The doctor didn't want to prescribe it.
However, I insisted, and he gave it to me. Wow what a difference , within two days. All the water retention the Synthroid caused was gone and I am now on it for years.  So glad I got my life back."


"So the pro is, it's prevented pregnancy and made me go up a cup size. Oh and my acne has cleared up.  Cons: the first month went well. I'm on month 3 of takin it and let me tell you... I've been bleeding/spotting for about 34 days now. It's annoying. And when I start spotting heavily, I get severe cramping. It's interfered with my sex life and moods. I do get mood swings but I'm thinking it's because I am so tired of bleeding. I've gained about 5 pounds, which isn't too bad for switching birth control."


"A few years before I went through menopause. I used to have incredible pain, headache and felt like my Lymph Nodes were going to burst out of my throat 3 days before my menstruation and when I started to take this it worked totally. I had tried all kinds of pain killers but nothing made any difference. My doctor had prescribed it for my back pain originally. So one day I decided to try take it for my menstrual pain and was amazed that it worked so well for my Lymph Nodes and headache as well."


"I started on 30mg of Cymbalta for a week then up to 60mg. I've taken it for about 2 years and noticed it really helped. When I got pregnant, my doctor told me to wean off it by taking it every other day. That was hell! He should have prescribed me a lower dosage. The price of it doubled so I no longer take it. I weaned off it this time by going from 60mg to 30mg then to 20mg. What a difference. That was manageable. Another down side is when I was on 60mg, if I would workout in the evenings, I would be wide awake at 3am! That was not the case when I was taking 30mg."


"I have been taking Naproxen for a long time.  I just found out from my Cardiologist that it is causing my high blood pressure. It can damage the kidney and liver.  "


"My doctor put me on Trulicity 0.75mg once weekly and it really has made a life saving difference. I have had no symptoms except I've lost 25 pounds in 6 months.  My blood sugar levels have all been normal range.  I do watch what I eat and have been exercising with my kids at the gym two to three times a week.  My dr. Also has me on Januvia 100mg once daily, and metformin 1,000mg twice daily.   I feel wonderful and finally I'm down to a size 7."


"I was on Mirena for a little over 2 years, starting in 2014. After about 7 months on it my period stopped, and that (in many ways) was my favorite part of Mirena. Unfortunately, around this same time I started getting intensely painful (but benign) ovarian cysts. The day before Thanksgiving, 2015 I had a cyst so painful that I was convinced something had gone wrong with my appendix. All told I went to the ER three times due to these cysts (yes I've had the HPV vaccine). Finally I took it out, and in that time I've had no pain. I've also lost about 10 lbs of the weight I gained on Mirena. I loved the convenience, but some things weren't worth it."


"Vicoprofen has helped me greatly for Fibromyalgia, there is still pain I'll have but that's not going to cure it but its helped a lot. And I seem to have pretty good energy while taking it. I don't take more than prescribed so I don't believe everyone is at risk of becoming addicted to this medication. I have never had any bad side effects with this medicine either. I only took 7.5 mg four times daily which is average.  Good luck you all. Hope this post helps."


"Took 25 mg (1/4 pill) for first time yesterday .After 30 minutes I got strong pressure/pain in ears , stomach  ache, and generally felt not well unfortunately.

Its true , Blood flow to my penis did increased and that part was good , but sex felt artificial and I could not climax. I will be Afraid to try again because of side effects..."


"It worked fine but do not use toilet paper use the ultra soft cleansing wipes. Also some baby powder towards the end is good and even some zinc oxide for diaper rash"


"When I was finally diagnosed, after having classic textbook hypothyroidism symptoms, I was prescribed, in varying doses Synthroid or Levoxyl. Neither did me much good and of course doctors bandaided my lingering symptoms with other drugs and excuses. It wasn't until I found out about Armour, fired a bunch of clueless doctors, treated adrenal insufficiency, and I finally found out after 50 years I could actually feel human. Synthetic medicines never once gave me that feeling like Armour has. It is the thyriod medicine of choice for me. It is effective and easily dosed, and I promptly threw my old medicines away. Doctors need to get a clue about this now. Armour is IT. It is the best one to prescribe."


"I have been taking Ambien for 12 yrs now.  I took my 1st Belsomra 3 hours ago and am still wide awake and the only thing I have felt is extreme nausea.  I never get nauseated from medications.  In fairness to Belsomra, me taking Ambien for so long may have made me too tolerant.  I will tell you that my doctor also gave me Zanaflex, which I took last night.  After 2 days of NO sleep, I fell asleep within 10 minutes.  Once it hits you, you kind of lose control of your ability to walk or speak without sounding drunk.  My husband had to carry me to bed.  It's apparently a very potent muscle relaxer.  It works.  However, I woke up 3 hrs later.  That's typical for me on any sleep meds though.  Ask about Zanaflex if none of the others work."


"I wish that I had the same testimonial as everyone else, but I really have not seen any significant reduction in alcohol cravings. I was so hopeful that this would be the end of this miserable disease."


"So I haven't really been on this brand of the pill for long however it has been a horrible experience. A little background I have been on another brand of birth control before but went off of it and instead was put on this one. After a week I started experiencing so many horrible things. First was acne, my skin is usually clear but this made me breakout a lot. However the worst part of it all is the mood swings and emotions. I cry for absolutely no reason and just feel sad. I'm usually not like this but now even talking to someone will make me burst out in tears and based on other reviews I see I'm not alone. In terms of not getting pregnant if used correctly it does the job but to me it's just not worth it."


"Fastin has helped me lose 10lb. I started off with a half a pill and not doing full pills so my heart and body could get used to it. All I can say is I love this diet pill. REALLY HELPED ME."


"I am only about a week and a half into my first pack and can already feel my emotions getting out of control. I have never cried in public but today something that would have normally made me angry actually made me burst into tears. How embarrassing. I feel like I still have PMS even though there is no "flow". Besides the hormonal imbalance, I love not having to worry about my period, which was extremely abnormal; rather than carrying around spare panties, I carry my little pill container.

"


"I am 26, and had the Mirena placed at my 6 week postpartum check up after having our second baby girl. All that happened was I felt very mild, barely noticeable cramping that day, and on and off randomly since. I have a higher sex drive, no acne (which is wonderful because I've had problems with adult acne), hand lost 5 pounds that WEEK, and now am steadily losing weight. Nothing is being or has been negatively affected. I know everyone is different, I was an excellent candidate for it because of very heavy, long lasting, and painful periods. "


"I took cymbalta 50 mg everyday for over 2 months.  This was to treat a generalized anxiety disorder and minor depression.  I live in the Midwest where the sun does not come out very often in the winter months.  The medicine was effective in the long run in treating my minor depression due to the winter blues however when I first started taking the medicine I did have suicidal thoughts, which was very strange for me.  Eventually, it interfered with my libido, which caused me to stop taking the medicine. I am 22 years old and for me to begin to experience libido issues led me to discontinue this medicine.  This might be a isolated issue but I hope it helps you decide if the side effects outweigh its benefits."


"I have had the bar for over 6 months now. For the first 6 months i experienced no bleeding with some cramping. (Before being on bc i hardley ever experienced cramps & they were minor. My flow was regular, not too heavy.) I got my period about 3 weeks ago. It went on for 2 weeks before starting to lighten up, then suddenly got heavy and VERY painful. I have never experienced cramps like this, even when I messed up my cycle bad on the pill. I am in pain all day, sometimes I cant even move. Made an appt with my doctor to talk about it, not sure yet if I will get it removed. I dont know what to do, i kept forgetting to take the pill on time so thats not an option for me, I just want my natural cycle back. Might stop taking bc alltogether."


"This medicine nearly finished with my life. I got so depressed and lost and the experience was horrendous!
Do not take this medicine - your skin will improve but believe me it will cause you severe depression and mental illness.

Is not worthy! Trust me.

You become completely severely depressed."


"I have been using Lo Loestrin Fe for 1 month now and I've had my period three times this month, breaking out like crazy, and have so many mood swings with depression. On my period i have medium-high cramps, back pains, and my breasts are sore. All the time!  I haven't really gained any weight which is good, but I'm going to keep using it and see if it gets better."


"It worked great but made me really dizzy. Has anyone experienced this?"


"I have experienced Irritable Bowel Syndrome for months and years. The flare ups got so bad everything would make me sick. Bounced from one DR. to the other. Gastroenterologist. Finally I was so sick and went back to my GP he prescribed me Levsin SL. It worked like right away. No side effects. I feel great now, after so much pain and suffering. I highly recommend this medicine. Previously I could hardly leave my house. I had no energy. The IBS attacks were so severe. The problem with IBS is some Doctors think its mental. I like to mention I take Probiotics every day and NEVER cheat on my diet. It's not worth it to eat something and then suffer for days."


"I have been on Myrbetriq since 2/29/15, I take the 25mg as I am only 4;11 and 90 pounds. I was taking toviaz before that, and trospium chloride before that. Myrbetriq is a miracle drug for me I was going 40x a day...I now go about 10 on a good day and 18 on a so so day if I grab a cofffee. I have tried things like bladder trainning, that didn't work for me. I was dx with oab in october I am a 32 year old female. I try also to stay away from bladder irritants. Sometimes I want to see what the 50mg do but I think for my weight that maybe too much. I noticed a diffrence at about week three. It also got me through a colonoscopy too I was so scared to drink all that water."


"Unfortunately I am a chronic relapser and have had many alcohol-withdrawal related seizures in the past.  Every time I have gone to the hospital they have given me Librium and it absolutely took away all my withdrawal symptoms. No more sweating, shaking, or vomiting. I have asked several doctors in the past to prescribe Librium to me but they have all said that it should be administered at a hospital where I could be monitored. This time around however the hospital sent me home after 7 hrs and gave me a script for 6-25mg.  I only took 5 and experienced no withdrawal symptoms what-so-ever and I was a liter of vodka/day drinker. Highly recommend Librium."


"After a few years of taking Crestor (which worked fine for its intended purpose), I suddenly developed a severe case of Sciatica. I couldn't stand, sit, walk, lie down, or any other activity without terrible pain up and down the back of my left leg. I was tested for everything including MRI and using novocaine and other pain killers. Nothing helped. After 5 months of constant pain, my doctor suggested discontinuing Crestor. The pain was completely gone within a week. Come to find out, my Sciatic nerve passed through my Piriformis muscle instead of around it like in most people. The Crestor had caused toxicity in the Piriformis muscle  which caused it to squeeze the Sciatic nerve continuously, causing continuous pain."


"I suffer from depression and has got to a very low point.  Doc prescribed me Sertraline.  First day, I didn't sleep.  Second day I had a tight chest and palpitations.  Third day, I had a fuzzy head.  Since then, it's been great.  I actually feel joy and am so much happier.  Give it a chance, I felt negative in the first three days but it takes time to work."


"I've always had clammy hands but about six months ago I had an unrelated surgical procedure, and once I recuperated I realized I was sweating a lot more than I used to from my hands feet and armpits. I went back to work and I was so embarrassed to wear regular button-down shirts because of the pit stains. I saw my dermatologist who recommended Drysol. It burns like hell but I can tell you right now that it is working for my pits I haven't applied it to my hands yet I will be trying that tonight."


"For some reason, my acne became uncontrollable after I gave birth to my daughter. I finally went to the dermatologist after quite a few breakdowns. I started Ziana in January 2016. This medicine will take about 3 months of purging your skin before it shows how clear your skin will be. Be patient. Yes, it sucks. But it does work 100%. I have before and after if anyone would like to see or has any questions!

"


"Very very good for meetings, interviews. Stops the impending doom feeling...!! Amazing"


"I have been on this med for 9 yrs after the dearh of my daughter, it changed my life dramatically!! Recently I have lost a brother and my anxiety came back, my doctor has from today increased my dose to 50mg so praying this helps soon? Hope due to my body being used to the 40mg the extra 10mg kicks in fast. It is a mirical tablet!!"


"I have been using this for the redness of rosacea.  I don't really have bumps or acne from rosacea.   I've been using this twice a day for six months and still have flareups."


"I have been on Orencia for 3.5 years and diagnosed 4 years ago. I am so thankful that I responded so well to this medication. Orencia was the first medication and hopefully, the last. Since my first infusion, in 2013, and the symptoms were finally being held at bay, I have not had any issues to date. I, whole heartily, 100% recommend Orecina. It saved my life and gave me my life back. I hope it'll do the same for you."


"This medicine kept the migraine from becoming full blown.  It made me sleepy and out of sorts, but this is better than an agonizing migraine.  I took it as soon as I saw the visual effect and within 30 min my vision was back to normal.  However, I still had a mild migraine with very little nausea.  Imitrex made me tired and my body felt heavy. It also made my tongue feel swollen, but it wasn't. But I'd take this over a full blown migraine any day! It seemed to fast forward the headache rather than it being debilitating like last time. I still lay around all day though."


"I had a tummy tuck and heard about this drug to help with recovery. It certainly made the first 72 much more bearable. I paid an additional fee of about $300 for Exparel. It was a very good decision. I had no side effects. I prepared to be in agony and wasn't at all. Those 3 days post op can be the worst days. Exparel is a miracle."


"I got Nexplanon in January, and the doctor assured me the side effects would go away after 2-4 months. It's now September, and there's no end in sight. I have literally bled constantly (either on my period or heavy spotting) every single day for 8 months. Now I'm on my period and it's lasted 2 wks and it just keeps going, so I'm getting the implant taken out. I'm fed up.

I also got moderate, daily headaches for the first 6 months, periods of acne off and on, and I've been more moody and depressed. Yes, it's great that I don't have to remember to take a pill every day. But I have to remember to wear a pad/tampon, and b/c of the moods and bleeding I've only had sex a handful of times in the last 8 months. It's not worth it. I'm done."


"Have been on this drug for almost 3 weeks. Started out on 25 MG and am currently taking 50 mg. Helped tremendously with much needed sleep. Make sure to be in bed when the medicine kicks in. You will sleep a long time but to me it's worth it! I've seen small improvements. Believe it's causing me to be pretty dizzy. Will give it time though! Will update later on.I am very glad my Dr tried this type of antidepressant. Been on lexapro, zoloft, cymbalta, and wellbrution. I believe they just aren't as strong as the older antidepressants. Good luck to you. Hold on even if you feel like there is no hope left!!!!!"


"I've been on this pill for over a year, I've never had any problems with it in the beginning except a little spotting in between periods and headaches at first. Now I absolutely hate it and am thinking about not taking it anymore because all of the sudden my periods are starting to mess up and I don't like that at all. This pill has also made me gain like 15lbs."


"Just don't mistake Uricalm Intensive for Uricalm!  I grabbed the box in a rush and when I got home phenazopyridine the ingredient that stops the burning and pain is not in the Intensive.  "


"I am currently about 6 months into my Methadone treatment, before methadone I was using heroin at an extreme amount. Now I am on 165ML of methadone a day from the clinic up the road. It has saved my life, I know that there are side effects just like that come with all medications. But where I am right now in my life I would not be alive if it were not for methadone and the treatment that I received from the people around here at the clinic. I recommend methadone for anyone out there struggling with opiate dependence and wanting to turn their life around for the better. It is true just like they say when I was using dope, the dope was in the drivers seat, now that I am on methadone, I am back in the drivers seat!"


"I've been using Drysol for close to 6 years now. Prior, I used to sweat just sitting at my chair and it made me extremely self conscious. I tried every deodorant/ anti-perspiration in the market and nothing helped. Finally I went to my dermatologist and he prescribed this. The first few times I used it it was extremely itchy and red but I would tough it out. I learned from experience NOT to shave before applying and to make sure I wear a T-shirt to bed otherwise the rubbing together may cause irritation. Over the years my sweating had seriously reduced, I went from having to put Drysol on every couples of days, to weeks, now I put it on MAYBE 3 times a year. Love it."


"I have been on tri-sprintec for four years now. Its the only pill I have ever been on. I truly love it to say the least! No weight gains, just a few mood swings around my period but that's about it. I would highly recommend it, I think its effects vary from person to person. My doctor told me before she put me on it, that pills do not make you add weight, however the hormones in it may cause you to get hungry more often and that's why people gain weight. Just watch what u eat and exercise regularly you will be fine!"


"I have been on Cymbalta for several years. The pain I had prior to this medication was life changing. I worked in retail for 18yrs and needed to function physically to be effective at work. When I was given the Cymbalta I think I called it an answer to my prayers. THEN I lost my job and insurance. Cymbalta has no generic sub and is $150 per month without insurance. That was financially hard on my family. I tried to go off it on my own and had HORRIBLE side effects including panic attacks, heart and blood pressure problems. Forced to continue this medication I spent $1800 in a year to stay sane. My doctor gave me a three week plan to get off Cymbalta. Now I am on the 3rd week and still having side effects. "


"I have had botox for the last 5 years for this condition and I have to say I have never looked back! Each time I have a longer gap between procedures, 3 so far, and  it seems to improve every time. I had vesicare before this and I had a really bad reaction to it so botox was my offered option. I would never hesitate to recommend botox!"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I was taking Yaz, but then for whatever reason the company added something to change it to Beyaz.  Yaz was seriously a saint for me.  Amazing periods, not hormonal at all, great skin, the works!  I've been on Beyaz for over a month now, and I have not cried this much since I broke up with the love of my life over a year ago, and I have zero control of my emotions and how I feel. "


"I started on Zoloft after suffering from anxiety for about 2 years. I had irrational fears about my health (heart attack, brain tumor, etc.) even though I am only 24 years old and healthy, and I found that anything out of my ordinary routine caused anxiety. I started on Zoloft at 25mg with a plan to increase my dose to 50mg after 1 month. I was a little dizzy the first week on the medicine, but since then have noticed no side effects. I noticed my anxiety starting to disappear after about 3 weeks, and I decided I didn't need to increase my dose. Still on 25mg per day 6 months later, and it has changed my life. I was skeptical of medication to begin with but highly recommend this, it really works!!"


"I have been on this for 3 months, I have lost 30 pounds.  My A1C went from 12.7 to 6.1.  My blood sugar numbers went from 230 to 98 I have not had any of the negative side effects. I have not had dry mouth or waking up to urinate as some others have experienced.  This medication has worked great for me so far."


"I would recommend Citolopram to anyone struggling with anxiety and depression. After a recent low patch I was in a terrible state... Non stop crying and waking up with a feeling of doom and panic every day. My body was so full of adrenaline and tension it was awful, impossible to live with. When you start taking Citalopram there are some nasty side effects for the first 2-3 weeks... Difficulty sleeping, feeling a bit sick and very tense. But I have to stress that this does stop after a few weeks... And then you start feeling better. Sooooo much better. It is amazing how positive you will feel. I have more get up and go and feel my sparkle coming back. I'm going to the gym regularly, weeks ago I struggled to walk out the door. Stick with it!"


"I smoked minimum of 2 packs a day for 45 yrs.
I tried EVERYTHING to quit.  I didn't try with Chantix. My Dr. told me it would probably take awhile as long as I smoked.  I took for 3+ months and didn't really feel any different. Still smoked the whole time but desired much less. One nite
My husband and I were out to dinner and I handed him my cigerattes. I'd done that so many times. I asked him for one back. We got home and instead of smoking that one, I shredded it. I never had another and never craved one.  I have COPD I was diagnosed with about 5 yrs. later. If I'd just had Chantix yrs. ago, I could have done it.  This COPD isnt  fun..
Try to quit while you're still healthy. Chantix did it for me totally!  Good Luck..."


"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."


"This was the worst birth control method I've been on. I had a period that lasted 2 weeks. Thankfully my doctor prescribed me back to the pill and now the bleeding has stopped. I also experienced serious mood changes. I was constantly tired and upset. I would wake up in the middle of the night drenched In sweat with a very fast heart beat."


"So horrible.  Took 10 mg at 10.  Still awake at 11: 30.  Took 10 mg more and finally fell asleep at 12:30.  Woke up at 3, super tired but unable to go to sleep.  Side effects are a major headache in left side of head and super groggy because your tired but can't sleep."


"I'm 14 and already struggle with insomnia. before I started taking medication for it I couldn't sleep AT ALL, I would stay up until 4 in the morning just laying in bed and usually I would just not sleep. During the day I would try to exhaust myself so that at night it would be harder to stay awake, but my brain was still running laps. I was prescribed Trazadone last summer and I have never slept better all my life then I had in this past year. I take the pill and I fall asleep in less then 20 mins, my dosage is 100mg and I'm not sure if that's a lot but it seems strong and it works really well, HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!!"


"Every winter I get terrible Bronchitis. Usually am constantly coughing, use a nebulizer, use inhaler, this all last literally until spring! Coughing for months. This time caught it early. Took shots and Levaquin for ten days. Felt like total crude for the whole time BUT it worked. First time it all left without those months of cough, cough, coughing solid back to back. Can't tell you what a relief it was. SO take it!! Despite side affects unless it's too serious you'll be glad you did!!"


"I really really wanted to LOVE the Mirena. I had inserted on February 14, 2011 (yes Valentine's day) and finally had it removed today. It definitely made my period's lighter, but I also had 2 a month, every month at 9 days each. Typically my period is fairly heavy but only 5 days and only once a month. That was complaint #1. I was constantly bloated, and gained 19 lbs despite working out and dieting. My biggest complaint is that I had huge emotional/horomonal issues with this. Everything from random crying, to just being extremely emotional, even depressed at times. I am a fairly happy person normally. I had the Mirena removed and replaced with a Paragard. I really like the aspects of the IUD and not having to worry regularly."


"ankles may swell if no exercise and possible nasal stuffiness and swelling.

Very effective in reducing b.p."


"Im only 17 and had to start taking birth control pills because I had cysts in my ovaries that started bleeding so severly, it caused me to be hospitalized for a week and needed transfusions. I still had spotting after I was discharged but once I finally started taking these pills (insurance issues) the bleeding stopped all together I have had no weight gain and my skin has cleared up so much. I would recommend this pill to anyone"


"I have been taking Adipex P for 3 mouths and I have lost 30 pounds.

I only take half a pill in the morning. It works very well."


"The best advice I can give about Epiduo is to definitely be patient! I know its easier said than done when like me, you're fed up with your skin and want something to work as quickly as possible. After trying almost every product under the sun, the latest thing I went on was the Epiduo. After 3 months, and using a simple light nivea moisturiser before applying, the cream really started to work and I saw massive improvements in my skin!! The redness of my spots completely cleared and now my skin is almost totally clear and I feel so much more confident! Patience really is the key to Epiduo, stick with it and you'll see just why it's worth it! Definitely recommend!"


"Provigil works great for me, at 200 mg once in the morning. I usually feel dull-witted and fatigued, but I don't suddenly "switch off". After about a week of steady doses, however, I often develop a bad headache and have to quit taking the stuff for a few days. Maybe that's a good thing, if it keeps me from getting habituated. Ritalin did nothing except make my hands shake."


"Currently on day 4/7 100mg BID. I went from feeling like my back was being ripped open and sobbing until I couldn't anymore from the pain to waking up the next day after my first dose feeling like a new person, this antibiotic is ok in my book! Mild GI issues, decreased appetite, and headaches are my only side effects. Nothing in comparison to what I was feeling before. All antibiotics aren't fun to be on, so keep that in mind before writing scary negative reviews. Hopeful that the Macrobid clears this up."


"I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, an auto-immune disease. Valerian was recommended to me for insomnia and so I took one. Because of my compromised auto-immune system, the pill had the opposite effect. I felt as if I had been given epinephrine and was in a 'run' mode all night long. By morning, I was exhausted and my head felt like it was about to explode.
People with auto-immune disorder should definitely  stay away from this herbal pill."


"I'm 23 with no children, and got Paraguard inserted a little over a year ago. I'll start with the cons. Insertion process was quite painful but the pain only lasted about ten minutes afterwards. Since having Paraguard inserted I went from having no cramping at all around my period to having one or two instances per month of pretty painful cramping. My PMS is also pretty bad the day before I get my period but I think that's because I'm not controlling it with hormonal BC anymore. My period went from 5 to 8 days and is heavier than it used to be. Despite all of this, the side effects I've experienced do not outweigh the benefits of having Paraguard. I had way worse side effects when taking the pill. 100% happy."


"I started latuda last May for my schizophrenia. I developed schizophrenia when I was 16 (4 years ago) but after being on like 6 billion types of medications, this one seemed to work best..the side effects were the worst! I remember one experience clearly. I was on vacation at the beach last summer and I took a latuda pill before going out to eat with my family. It kicked in after 30 min time. All of a sudden, I began feeling extremely sleepy, dizzy, and I had EXTREME akathisia? So terrible, I couldn't explain it and to top it off, my heart was racing I was having a panic attack! In the restaurant! And at the same time I was sleepy as hell, but I kept my cool. My mum took me back to the hotel where I immediately fell asleep..terrible"


"I'm in my early 20s, I have been on the Nuvaring for about 2 years and I love it! I had a hard time remembering the pill so I decided to switch to Nuvaring. It is way more convenient for me. I never experienced any negative side effects and I never gained any weight. I would recommend the Nuvaring to anyone!"


"The least I can do for this amazing discovery of a medication is to do a review and say that it literally saved my life.

I wanted to take away my own life because of hypersexuality waves that I've been experiencing for as long as I can remember. Somehow I always pushed myself behind the edge by telling myself - "you just can't give up before making sure that I tried all the options" Thank goodness I didn't give up. After couple of years of such an agony I finally met my second psychiatrist who suggested that I may have some very atypical type of bipolar disorder, and he suggested me to try Abilify.
For the first time in my life I knew what it means to have a fully controllable sex drive. Please never give up. Cliche saying, but so true! :)"


"WHYYYY! the itching is soooo bad that I just ran to the bathroom and tryed to completely wash it out but the itching won't STOP!!!! HEELLLP!"


"Switched from Lexapro to generic escitalopram. Big mistake. Suicidal after 3 weeks. No problems for many years prior."


"I love Implanon! I had mine placed 5 months ago. I had no period or spotting at all for the first two months. Then, I began spotting lightly every other day or so. 90% of the time, the spotting is so light, there is no need for a panty liner. It is a small, small price to pay for freedom! I absolutely love not having to worry about remembering a pill, getting refills, taking it on time, etc. As a medical student, I already have enough to remember. I am glad my birth control isn't one of them anymore! The only downside (and it is a very small one) is the huge bruise you get the week after it is placed. Not a big deal in most cases, but a little weird when your employer asks about it and asks if you are "having problems at home." Otherwise, 100% pleased."


"Horrible sore throat combined with nonstop coughing.  It was painful to say the least. Took the Vicodin and stopped coughing.  I had tried everything over the counter, teas, honey lemon, vaporizer, vapor rubs, hot showers, etc.  This is the only thing that stopped the coughing."


"My doctor was pretty hesitant to try me on this but was quick to mention weight loss surgery. I'm 25, 5'8" with a starting weight of 250 (June 8th). I began the low dose of the trial of June 13th and weighed yesterday at 241.5 (8.5 lbs!). Soda tastes flat and so does alcohol. Huge bonus since soda was my vice. Drinking lots of water due to dry mouth. I have felt a little tired, but it's tolerable. My hands and face feel tingly today. hopefully that passes because that is pretty annoying. I had a slight headache the first two days, but that went away with Aleve. I see my doctor on the 26th for a 30 day fill. Hopefully the weight loss continues. I don't plan on taking for more than a couple months. Will update."


"I have been taking Gleevec for over 4 years, and as of today I am in complete remission of my case of CML. For the first 4-5 months of treatment Gleevec apparently caused nausea, especially when I engaged in any vigorous physical activity. Now I have no noticeable side-effects at all."


"Zanaflex is great for muscle spasms as I have them from Osteoarthritis in my spine, also spinal stenosis. If you are on any heart meds, please use the interactions checker because it may cause severe drops in blood pressure. I am taking Lisinopril, Hydrochlorothiazide and Metoprolol for heart arrhythmias and my blood pressure was dropping to dangerous levels. All of my specialists knew what medicines I was taking, but none of them noticed the interactions. I checked them myself here at Drugs.com and found the RED FLAGS myself, so be careful."


"I felt compelled to write a review, as I was on topamax (or should I say dopamax?!) for about 2 years. I started this medication when I was 21 and was so desperate to find something that would actually help my on-going migraines. Personally, the side effect symptoms FAR outweighed the benefits. I started out on 25mg a day and gradually increased to 100mg. As soon as I got on this, the side effects came rolling in. Before I knew it my memory was completely gone. In daily conversation I couldn't think of simple words, names or phrases. I knew what I wanted to say but couldn't form the words to do so. The worst of all, it really affected my grades in college. I used to have awesome memorization skills. Unfortunately I would study for hours upon hours, and still wouldn't do well as I would have "brain fog" during tests, etc. Another side effect I experienced was weight loss. I lost around 25 lbs., HOWEVER I don't believe all of this was ultimately from topamax. I'd definitely say it suppressed my appetite, but I really changed my eating habits and worked out daily. It helped with my first few pounds and got me motivated to do the rest. On the plus side, I saw a significant difference in the amount of migraines I received. It was a night and day difference in that aspect. However, approaching a year and a half on this medication I couldn't take it anymore and had to get off. It wasn't worth it anymore. I don't think tapering off or stopping cold turkey on this really makes a difference. My mom stopped cold turkey and I tapered off, as my doctor instructed me. I rebounded off this HORRIBLY, as did my mom. I was STARVING constantly after no longer taking it. This didn't just go away either. My body didn't feel levelled out and "detoxed" of this for honestly about a year after. I not only gained back all my weight I lost, but plus some. Although everyone's body reacts differently, I highly do NOT recommend taking this. Not even for those desperate for weight loss. Losing weight from a medication like this is not sustainable long term. I'm 24 now and am still affected by my choice of taking this. Topamax has ultimately ruined my memory to this day. I still cannot remember words or things. It changed me. Do not take this! There are other answers out there."


"Works fabulous. Been on it for 7 years, always get my period on the same day. Never any nausea. I get emotional the day before my period starts but its whatever, my boobs got huge which was nice. no pregnancy scares either..at all. works fabulous. highly recommend... I haven't had any issues like other people say."


"I have used this medicine along with narcotic pain killers for a cervical disc protrusion. When I weaned off the pain killers, the Zanaflex really helped with the withdrawal symptoms (RLS, anxiety, sleeplessness) I was experiencing. This medicine still helps with the muscle spasms I get and it doesn't make me tired either, probably due to the high tolerance levels I have from years of abuse, however it really saved me during the Norco withdrawals - and have been off all narcotics for a few months now."


"It was okay when I first got it, not too painful or maybe I was expecting more pain, anyway I spotted for a day afterwards and it was fine, then no bleeding for a week. I had sex then like 4 days later I started my cycle and it's day 8 with heavy bleeding and horrible cramps..."


"I am 18, 125 lbs, never had sex before this & was not on birth control and this pill worked for me. The condom broke and to be sure we made a midnight Walmart run for this pill. I took it about 2 hours after the accident & I was freaking out and researching everything possible. Four days later I started my period for the second time that month. I have never been so happy to have cramps. This pill worked for me and I really think it will work for you too!"


"I was diagnosed 2 years ago with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.  I have had chemo and radiation and I am doing very well.  When first diagnosed I was on Creon I had no side effects but wanted something a little less expensive, so my Oncologist suggested I try Zenpep.  It works great, as long as I don't forget and skip a dose, when I skip a dose all my symptoms come roaring back, gas, pain, cramps and loose bowls."


"My 2 1/2 year old son took this because of Hives/Welts. It helped with the itching but thats it. It made him very hyper."


"I am honestly the happiest person ever since my Psychiatrist prescribed Depakote for me, NO MORE RAPID CYCLING!! I take two 500mg tablets about 20 minutes minutes before bed and I sleep throughout only waking up when my back aching in pain; I'll save that for my Baclofen and Prednisone post. I do not experience the manic highs as I was once did; however I still have my low days but everyone does! My low days are no where near the days when I on Trileptal or any SSRIs. I was taking Ability and Lithium for a week (this is my experience) I started seeing the world in two-dimensions, sort of like the early Nintendo characters. I freaking out!! That was it. Make sure to get blood tests every months to ensure your Depakote are in line. A  "


"I did a fair amount of research of which testosterone treatment to try. After reading the reviews I chose Axiron. Unfortunately, my results weren't that great. After 4 weeks on 30 mg per day, my levels actually dropped . My doctor increased the dose to 90 mg and did a recheck 2weeks later. A little improvement but still below where I was before I even tried Axiron. My doctor referred me to a urologist who is running tests to rule out if it's something else causing the low levels, but in the meantime, recommended Testim. After reading these reviews I'm not looking forward to Testim but will give it a try. It's a LOT more expensive. "


"Seizure free for over 2 years on Glenmark's Zonisamide. It would be closer to 5 years but the pharmacy switched to another supplier and I had 2 seizures and ended up in the hospital.

  I do at times have some brief dizziness and notice that I don't sweat as much but these are light side effects given some of the brain numbing comatose side effects of other drugs that I have tried."


"I don't normally like to take pills for anything unless it's prescription for a real reason but when I need to sleep, I use these. I took one the other night and knocked me out cold, only 1. I have to cut 1 in half so I don't wake up sleeping."


"Zoloft has been a life saver! I have been on this medicine for about 7 years now. Two kids (3 and 6 months) later I still have to use this medicine, and it works miracles. My husband deployed to Afghanistan and I do not think I could of made it through that time while taking care of our kids without this medicine. The only side effects I had were loss of appetite, tired, and mild headaches but that only lasts about a week. If your just starting this medicine hold on I promise this will help you feel like you again!"


"This is a big step up from golytely, the taste is better and even better yet only 2 small bottles not 1 gal."


"I've been on Belviq for 3 weeks and initially experienced dizziness for 4 days. That's gone away and I feel great. I have more energy and sleep better. My insurance won't cover Belviq until I tried 2 other weight loss meds, so I'm grateful for the help with the $75 card from Belviq. I've been able to control my eating and resist temptations. And I'm down 14lbs! LOVE BELVIQ!"


"This is my second day taking it. The first night  I slept well  9 hours. The second nightI  had extreme restlessness and barely slept at all. It has helped my depression very well, however the anxiety is worse with racing thoughts and I can't stop moving or doing things. I haven't had the incredible appetite, just the opposite, I'm not hungry. It's like I'm a calmer manic. I'm not sure if this med is going to help my anxiety at all."


"I started taking this medicine 03/08/10 at 215lbs..today is 04/14/10 and I am at 195lbs! Total loss of 20lbs in a little over a month.  I have been watching my calorie intake around  1000-1200 a day...and exercise at least 4-5 times a week (30-45 minutes each workout). During Easter I ate Easter dinner with the family and believe in having what I call my "cheat day" once a week.  I avoid fast food @ all cost excluding Subway and Wendy's where I can eat delicious low fat/low calorie food. One of my biggest weaknesses is sweet tea...I have switched from regular sugar to Splenda and I have adjusted well to the change. This medicine works, it helps me keep focused on my goal..30-40 more lbs to go!"


"I'm just starting my 3rd week.  Here's what I've experienced:

- less frequent trips to bathroom at night.  1 or 2 vs 4 normal (but if I drink coffee after dinner, I revert back to 4 ... same with beer)

- no ejaculate .. while somewhat disconcerting, all still feels the same during intercourse, I close my eyes during MB and don't worry about it

- more consistent stream

- stuffy nose

- Dr gave me a coupon so I only pay $15/month.  You can also download same at Rapaflo website (may not work if you're on medicare)

I go back to Dr next week to see if blood still in urine, I hope not!"


"I was given Tamiflu on Sunday February 14th my fever broke that evening and the aches went away but Tuesday morning I was so nauseous and had bad stomach cramps and diarrhea I couldn't function. Missed another day of work . Not sure side effects are worth it. Prescription was expensive and all I can say is my fever is gone.  Not sure if it was the meds or just the flu running its course. Recommend not taking it. Sometimes the cure is worse than the ailment."


"This is my go to cough medicine, it absolutely works the best for bronchitis cough or sinus infection. I have experienced headaches with this but found that if I drink a lot of water when I take it, that helps. We call it super syrup in our house."


"Ruined my life"


"I took this pill approximately 8 hours after my husband and I had intercourse. After missing my period I thought no way! I can't be pregnant maybe my periods are just thrown off.. the other day I purchased a pregnancy test just to be sure and it was a big fat POSITIVE!!! ladies please be careful taking this pill. I've taken "plan b" in the past and had great luck but this one definitely doesn't compare.. USE WITH CAUTION."


"I didn't really notice any side affects too bad. More like bad sleeping habits (waking up at 2 am and not going back to sleep for two hours) and I also had nightmares quite frequently for two weeks. But I've been taking it for 6 weeks now for depression and anxiety, and I feel great. I have so many more good days than I used to. I'm not down as often."


"I'm 15 and have been using this birth control for about 3 months now. I find it amazing! There is SOME spotting but its okay. As for weight gain, I gained 5 pounds and on a girl who's 5'1 it looks like a lot. I never had acne ever and when I started the pill I had oily skin and acne. There are side effects but this pill is amazing and recommend it to everyone."


"I'm a 49 yrs. woman and I have a different situation than most. I have ICC. Mine is caused by a rare auto- immune liver disease. I have stage 4 scarring of the bile ducts that run through my liver. The enzymes try to get to the food to help digest but it runs into a scarred liver. The process of breaking down food takes so long for me that food just doesn't move fast enough. That's how I get backed up and so distended in my belly.I look 6mo. pregnant sometimes. I can't say enough about Linzess. It's helped me so much. I have to take my dose at night so I can be close to the bathroom as many times as I need to be..Usually within 2-4 hours, I hear gurgling, nothing painful and yep..time to go...Lol! I'm thrilled and feel so much better!"


"I'm 18 and I've been on Microgestin for a little over a year now. In summary, it is a good contraceptive and it cleared up my acne, but it is completely ineffective at regulating my menstrual cycle.

Although it is an effective method of birth control, my periods have been all over the place since I have been on this pill (and they used to be pretty regular) and I had a pregnancy scare a few months ago because I missed my period and only had some light brown discharge the week prior to when it was supposed to come. Ever since, my period has come 5-12 days earlier than it's supposed to. Because of this, I have no idea when I'm more fertile. I have never missed a pill but this still happens :("


"I have been using Soolantra for almost 5 weeks and honestly this is the best cream I bought in a long time. My skin looks and feels wonderful.  The little red bumps are completely gone (although they looked terrible during the first 2 - 3 weeks).  I wash my face with Lubex (Disodium Undecylenamido-MEA-sulfosuccinate) every morning and in the evening before applying Soolantra.

Monthly cost:  Soolantra USD 38 and USD 12 for 150ml of Lubex in Switzerland.

I can highly recommend this combination."


"Although for some reason Lyrica seemed to make my pain medications oxycontin last longer or work better, Lyrica made my legs swell up. The pain was unbearable from the swelling and in the end I had a lot of broken veins. If you're swelling up and your doctor says "oh, you just ate too much salt this week" get another opinion to get off Lyrica and see if the swelling doesn't stop. I wish I could take it, it really did help. Good luck to all with Fibromyalgia, it's an awful and painful disease."


"Effective in reducing blood sugar level for 5 to 8 hours."


"Very good when pharmacy can get it. Several times months will go by and unable to get."


"have not ingested alcohol while on anabuse"


"Don't take on an empty stomach!  Always works great for me!"


"Am in UK.... PHENTERMINE is not a national health prescription drug,  so I have had to get mine through a slimming and diet clinic.   Started at 24 St 9 lbs....  My doctor weighs and takes my blood pressure every 2 weeks..  After 2 weeks,  lost 19 lbs,  after 4 weeks lost another 7lbs, after 6 weeks lost another 9lbs.   Lost 2.5 stone so far and feeling great apart from constipation.   I am taking favored.   I also get prescribed a water tablet and a multi vitamin.   I pay £84 every 4 weeks which may seem a bit steep but I feel it's worth it...."


"Saved my life and my family recommend Suboxone to anybody who's addicted to opiates."


"After my thyroid surgery, I was put on Synthroid.  I continued to get WORSE until I was nearly totally bedridden.  I did some research and after several months, found a doctor who prescribed medications other than synthroid.  I started taking a Natural desiccated thyroid (NDT) medicine.   Within two weeks, I woke up and felt like getting out of bed.  I continued to improve, however my strength never came back.  I am totally confined to a wheelchair now."


"1st Moviprep was lemon flavour split dose night and early morning. Was not looking forward to the morning dose as tasted disgusting. Second bowl cleanse with Moviprep again but orange flavour this time and was a lot more palatable. A lot nicer then lemon flavour, as in UK the NHS sent it through for colonoscopy prep."


"This pill was wonderful at first. Did not experience weight gain, headaches, nausea, etc. I went through my teens without getting one pimple and never struggled with acne UNTIL taking junel. DO NOT TAKE THIS! My chin was covered with painful, cystic acne. Even now that I'm off this pill my face has never fully cleared up."


"I'm on my second script. I still have gastritis so I'm not taking it anymore."


"Worked wonders for me! After about a month on Savella I began to feel human again. It was so odd because I had forgotten what that felt like. Was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 10 years ago and started on Savella about 10 months ago. I am exercising and working in my yard every day. I had not done this for years. My family is even amazed at the difference. Thank you for this medication!"


"I've had the Paragard for a year. Right after I got it, I had my period for two weeks. It was terrible. But I don't regret getting this birth control. I can't do extra hormones. They mess with my blood pressure and make me crazy so this seemed like the best option since I didn't want to get my tubes tied because I want more children. The bad reviews scare me, but so far for me after having it a year, I don't really have any complaints at all. And I don't have to worry about any "oops's" or anything like that. And my husband and I certainly don't need another child right now. We have six already."


"I was prescribed sulfameth for a gross bacterial infection (jacuzzi rash).  While on it I experienced headaches, foul gas, loss of appetite, constant thirst, extreme fatigue, dizziness, spotting, diarrhea (should have kept up with my probiotics).  On the eighth day I had itchy hives ALL over my body, severe lower back pain, neck & shoulder pain & stiffness.  Dr. said to stop medicine & consider myself allergic to sulfa drugs.  My original rash had cleared up but so did my two children who didn't have any antibiotics.  For me, obviously not worth the side effects."


"Was put on this pill after I came off microgynon after 5 years as it made me insane. I've been on loestrin for 3 months and will be changing as soon as I can. I have been having the most severe nightmares on this pill and I am woken up every night in a tizz. Also my boobs have grown a cup size which is good, but I have also gained weight and can't seem to shift it. Feel constantly fat. Also all my life I have had essentially perfect skin but since being on this pill my skin is constantly greasy which has resulted into spots. On the plus side, mood is generally good and no pregnancys but the nightmares are too big of a deal to carry on"


"This was not very effective for me and it made me feel worse the next day even if I got 8 hours of sleep. It isn't really worth it."


"I'm on first package. I lost a baby 2 months ago so I'm on these pills while I make up my mind about having another baby. All is great but one night I forgot to take the pill and my mood did changed. Also my appetite has lower I had lost 5 lbs in a few weeks. Be aware of your emotions and you will do fine."


"I feel like a zombie if I don't get enough restorative sleep. I have been on 100 mg a day, but am on 75mg most of the time. I notice that most of the people that are not getting relief from the pain and insomnia are taking the smaller doses. I have been on it for probably 20 years. I can't tolerate most other medicines."


"Surprisingly they do really work. You can still get them, you just have to look in the eye drop section or go to your local Chinese acupuncturist, they have a brand called, "Pi yen chin". They are the exact same thing. It took me awhile to believe my acupuncturist, but I'm glad I did."


"This product is unreal. I was always sweating for no reason, at work under my arms were wet all day and all my undershirts were ruined. Then it got worse if I felt like someone was looking at my or I got emberassed my forehead would sweat...seriously this product is amazing works like a charm"


"suboxone got me off of painkillers but left me addicted to it and my doctor wanted to keep me on it so I had to stop cold turkey on my own after being on it for 5 and 1/2 years. withdrawal was bad for about a week but some symptoms lasted a couple of months, but it was worth it because now I am my normal self again and much happier. It's now been over a year and I don't even think about it anymore.If I had known more about suboxone I would have just quit painkillers without it."


"I had never taken any type of birth control until I met my fiancee. I was on Implanon for almost 11 months and I hated it! I had all the side effects that came with it, plus my period for all those months non-stop and to say I almost ruined my relationship and to top it off I got an infection for using tampoms all the time. Anyway today is my 5 day taking Sronyx and I already feel great no side effects what so ever. I'm happy again without any mood swings. I really recommend this pill."


"I have taken 10mg of Crestor for 3  yrs. I have experienced several issues with this statin as well as others.  After 8 weeks on Crestor my HDL went from 289 to 79; on paper, I looked great!  But over the last several years of taking statins, I have experienced several bad side effects. Severe bone and muscle pain; loss of muscle mass. I felt depressed; lots of mood changes. I became a wimp in bed.  After taking statins for 5  yrs, I went to a cardiologist and had several things checked; nothing wrong.  But recently, had blood test that showed problems with muscle and bone loss. STOPPED. After a couple of weeks I am feeling great.  Your brain uses cholesterol for basic functioning and to make testosterone."


"I had the Implanon in 2010 6 weeks after I had my daughter, Since then I have not been able to lose much weight and have mood swings, along with no sex drive. I have been feeling like I am not myself. I am not ever again getting this birth control. I have periods that may be light but go on for months. I want my old self back and plan on getting it taken out soon."


"I've had the most horrible left arm and neck with upper spine/back pain and this patch has stopped my spine pain. I only feel pain in my left arm now. I'm amazed for now. Just getting started. Wicked dreams though."


"Taking 20mg, all I can say is "guess it is ok, when it works."  I have tried the top three oral medications for ED.  I can say that when it works it stimulates a very firm erection.  However, I have begun to feel like soon as it takes effect I have better take advantage. I normally do suffer headaches mild to moderate, and get very flushed.  We also have noticed that the time it takes to start working has varied from 1 - 4 hours."


"Every time I take the echinacea tablets I develop a severe headache within a few hours."


"Works fantastic."


"This is my 3rd day of taking Alesse. I switched from Loestrin 24 FE because my insurance would only cover $4 and was asking me to pay $67 for it. I am trying birth control to see if it may help even out my migraines. So far, not good. I am going on day 2 of a horrible migraine. I think once my body readjusts to the medicine, my headache will go away. I was the same way with the Loestrin. I'm not sure about any other side effects as my migraine has masked everything else."


"Couldn't sleep for days; I felt less pain but I began doing things that were not safe or rational. It also raised my blood pressure to dangerous level."


"Exacerbated all negative feelings.  Switched to Effexor worked much better."


"I got an IUD because I have migraines and am unable to take estrogen. I personally believe that this is by far the best type of birth control out there because you don't have to think about it at all and can do anything with it. I am 20, 5ft 105lbs and I believed the insertion was very hard and painful. The measurement is the worst part and the insertion feels like a bad cramp but doesn't last long. What's hard is the very intense cramps I consistently got for 7 weeks along with the constant spotting. The only issues I have with it is my periods are now longer and lighter, almost spotty and this is very annoying. I get very bad cramps from it to the point where I wake up in the middle of the night."


"I've been on this pill for 3 years to great success. I started on the lowest dose and there was a difficult adjustment period, and I continued to experience breakthrough bleeding even after the other symptoms subsided. I was bumped up to 1.5/30 and it's been smooth sailing ever since!

I started the pill exclusively for birth control, but its had the wonderful side effect of helping with my once very heavy and PMS-driven periods. I no longer experience ANY PMS, bleed lighter and for shorter periods, and only experience very mild cramps on occasion. Other than that, the only side effect I have is breast tenderness, but this is few and far between."


"I got my paragard about 3 days ago. The procedure itself was by far the most pain I have ever felt in my life, I did take some pain reliever before hand and right after I left the office and had almost no relief, for the first night the pain was so bad it was waking me out of my sleep. For the past 2 days I have had cramping that comes and goes all day long and still having some spotting here and there, I am hoping this cramping stops soon as they are more intense then what I am used to with my period."


"I have been on Opana for 2.5 years and i never felt better i take it 2x a day and oxycodone 30mgs 4x a day I am 55 years old and with my medicines I can do things like a 20 year old. The best pain medicine ever. I have been on different pain medicines for 18 years."


"I think if you have any concerns about your U.T. Function . Then see your doctor I can go with eze and without effort. I went from going every hour all day and night to going every 2-4 hours and sleeping through the night unless I drink a lot before bed. This medicine works very well but there are many more, don't be afraid to request something different."


"I been taking this medicine for 4 months now at 50mg at bedtime and it has changed my life.  Anxiety stress and depression strongly minimized. I fall instantly asleep instead of being up all night worrying. Best sleep in 20 years."


"Within two days of starting this drug my Delayed Pressure Urticaria, DPU, came under control. It controls it so far to about at the 95% level. I had a couple of major flare-ups the first day I took it, but I suspect the levels had not built up in my blood yet. I have had one headache but unknown if this drug caused it.  My allergies are also under control. The Urticaria still appears a little but much less in size, scope and no itching or raised welts. No feelings of tiredness for me, in fact it kind of speeds me up. I'm amazed that a cousin of Zyrtec can do so much more. Zyrtec didn't touch the hives before, even when taking up to triple the normal daily dose. If you have hives give it a try."


"I finally worked up the courage to talk with my doctor about erections and asked for a prescription. I take an antiseizure medicine that has erectile dysfunction as a side effect and am 62. The erection effects of this medicine are amazing. I split a 20mg pill in as many pieces as I can without them crumbling, usually 5, and let them dissolve under my tongue. If I take some Friday night I am good for the weekend and have that fullness feeling throughout the day that makes me feel like a 20 year old and have a hair trigger erection when we are ready for sex. Stuffy nose is irritating, mildly dull headache that Tylenol takes care of. First couple of weeks taking this I did experience muscle aches but these went away as my body became more accustom to it."


"Sweating and constipation are my complaints. I was on citalopram for years but stopped working. Two days later, on Lexapro, I'm feeling much better. I have more energy and sleeping much, much better. Two weeks now, I'm fine."


"I've tried all the benzos to treat my panic attacks, and this one I chose to settle on. It's the most mild on my system. The effects are subtle, but they successfully address the anxiety without making me too tired. I try not too take more than 2 10mg pills per week. I also take 200mg Lamictal and 20mg Prozac, which lessened the instances of panic."


"I have been taking Chateal for about 3 weeks; after a year long break from birthcontrol. So far the only negative side effects are tender/sore breasts. I have taken 3 different types of pills in the past, nuva ring, and depo shot, so far Chateal is pretty good. I have noticed bloating but it seems to be water weight and has reduced significantly on its own within the past couple of days. My mood and emotions, I find this pill to actually be somewhat of a mood booster! I am the happiest I have been in a long time and my emotions are pretty stable. Acne: I have always had acne (I'm 23) and birthcontrol has always helped. Nuva Ring was the best for acne but after being off birth control for a year my acne went haywire. Chateal has helped."


"I used to just take ibuprofen and that would only take the edge off but I will still be in a lot of pain that I have vomited before and had to go home from work. Then I tried taking ibuprofen and paracetamol at the same time, 2 of each every 4 hours which was better but I could still feel the pain. Then someone suggested I try Naproxen and it has honestly changed my life. Now I only need to take 2 the first time and then 1 every 6-8 hours and I am almost totally pain free. I'm just kicking myself I didn't try it 10 years ago. I'm Australian so I just buy it over the counter and it about $20 for a packet."


".Scariest drug reaction I have ever had.   Started with being awakened by difficulty breathing (middle of night).  took some antihistamines, and tried slow controlled breaths;  then used an inhaler.   Frequent urination (really frequent  with some leakage!).

   By morning had sores in mouth from the swelling,  red tissues in mouth, swollen eyelids, lips and face.   Started a fever which went up to 103,  Then got big leopard spots all over (why not, in Africa?)

   a pharmacist in our group insisted this must be anything  but the Malarone because even he and his wife were taking it.!!!  Don't listen to people like that, almost continued to take it.  Horrible experience, quit it and did not get malaria which would have been preferable."


"During a recent stretch of terrible anxiety which  crept up very slowly, I suddenly became incapacitated. I was in fear of everything and I couldn't function- AT ALL. I went to my doctor and explained the symptoms and he recommended Lexapro 10 mg. with Klonopin .5 mg. as needed. I took both medications and the Klonopin erased all the startup side effects of the Lexapro such as increased nervousness, insomnia, and poor appetite. As soon as the Lexapro kicked in, ( about three weeks) I was able to step off the Klonopin and have felt great ever since. Anxiety has been wiped out and sleep has improved. I feel 100% better. Don't give up, this medication WORKS !!"


"Had ADHD symptoms growing up, due to cultural reasons and beliefs, family always dismissed it.
In 2nd year law school at the moment, had to work 5x harder than others. Started living away from family and finally got ADHD diagnosis done. Was prescribed concerta.
I was 154cm height and 47kg before concerta.
Titration period - 18mg 1 week, 27mg 1w, 36mg 3w and 54mg 8w. 18-27mg at first was amazing. No side effects, brimming with motivation but, wore in 4h. 36mg, was ok but wasn't as great as the initial effect, wore off after 4h. 54mg, developed an uncontrollable cough, mood swings, dry mouth, anxiety. Lost 5kg weight. Now on Vyvanse. Cough took 2 + weeks since quitting concerta to stop. Advice - if side effects are bad & lasts 1w+ change meds!"


"My 6 year old has been on Enbrel for about 3 months for JRA and Uveitis. I would give this medicine a 10 if it was working on her eyes as well as it is on her joints. Little to no swelling in affected joints but she is still having flares in her eyes. No side effects so far and she actually looks forward to the injection because it makes her feel better."


"I have suffered with strong facial hair on my neck & chin for 2yrs. It was an nightmare I would stand in a mirror plucking for 2hrs which is not good when you have a school run to do. I have recently noticed my facial hair getting worse & the more I plucked the more rashes in growing hairs I was getting. It was ruining my life. I went to my local GP with an infection on my neck from plucking & he prescribed me Vaniqa cream. I have to tell everyone who suffers like me don't get the cream it's amazing I have been using it for 3days (not long I know) but the difference in my skin & hair growth is amazing. I have smoother skin & my bumps are nearly none existent."


"Well a good medicine if taken in time to stop pregnancy but the side effects it hurts.  I had cramps and headaches which are terrible for me."


"I had severe OCD starting around 14. My anxiety level was horrible. At age of about 50 a doctor said he would calm me down so I could be more functional. I took 4 1mg tablets a day with no side effects other than lowering my anxiety to a acceptable level. I still take klonopin and consider it best drug I have ever tried and still use it"


"My stomach couldn't handle the normal adderall so I tried adderall XR. It took a while for me to really enjoy the medication but with combination of cymbalta I don't have real up's and downs. I take 90mg, I am a muscular 255 pound male. I would recommend adderall, side effects, dependancy, dry mouth, less hunger until you come down at night."


"Works good, but the withdrawal is bad."


"Helps with restless extremities aiding falling asleep."


"I've been on this for almost a year and I've never had any issue except mild nausea before my period. My periods use to be very heavy and last two weeks and the PMS would take a serious toll on me. On this my periods are lighter and last 4-5 days. My PMS is significantly lessened. I still get teary eyed pretty easily before my period but now I'm not a raging PMS machine."


"I have been taking 75mg twice per day now

for 10 days. I have severe back pain from

an injury. I did not think that such a small pill twice a day could help. I was ready to stop useing it after three days because of the side effects of feeling totally "out of it".I had mood swings, dizzyness and confusion.Those side effects have now eased up and my pain has

become less severe.I have had weight gain

and wonder if it causes water retention.

I feel bloated. Hope this helps"


"Diabetic for 17 years. On Metformin 2000mg, Sitagliption 50 mg and Glimperide 2 mg. A1C is 6.5. Weight 200 lbs.
Started Invokana 100mg last week once daily. Primary reason to start this to see if any weight loss is possible and to eventually stop glimperide and if possible Sitagliptin. No problems so far except a some increase in urine output, which is expected. Hence giving a rating of 5. I will repost after 3 months with any weight loss  and A1C numbers. The drug is relatively cheap in India, around $25 for thirty 100 mg tablets that lasts a month."


"After struggling with depression for  over ten years and trying over twenty different medications, I have finally found one that works. I have been on this medication for about four years and it has been life changing. I have had no side effects (which isn't common with these types of medications) The only 'negative' thing about this medication is that if you accidentally miss a dose you will get really bad side effects."


"I'm a 31 year old male diabetic and was having problems with erectile dysfunction.  I started on a Cialis regimen and it only slightly helped.  My urologist then tested me for Testosterone and found I was in the low 200 range.  He gave me a month supply and a prescription for Testim.  The first month there didn't seem too much impact, but by the second month I had both more energy and sex drive. The erectile dysfunction problem was greatly reduced and in some cases the Cialis isn't needed.

As a side note, some people complain about the smell.  I think it just smells like cheap aftershave, but doesn't really bother me.  My girlfriend and two of my close friends that are also female think it smells wonderful.  I'm not sure if it a pheromone response or just pleasing to them."


"I love ziana. Since I was 15 years old I experienced "zits on nose" their basically huge pimples that grow so big under your skin and stays their for about two weeks, this was the worst experience. Throughout the years I've tried so many medications but nothing worked. Now I'm 18, after 3-4 years of having zits on my nose continuously ziana is working with me and now my nose is how I wanted it to be, thank you ziana & thanks to my dermatologist."


"Don't stress it works, maximum effectiveness under 24 hrs, total life saver, it definitely is worth the $50"


"Been using naproxen almost daily for years, for back and hand related near chronic pain-partially due to inflammation and swelling.  Had to stop taking ALL NSAID's on orders from my GI Dr.

USED 3,000mg daily ACETAMENOPHEN FOR 3 MONTHS-much less effective than min dose naproxen had been for pain and useless for inflammation/swelling  (using large doses of omega 3/fish oil for inflammation.)

Started tramadol about 2 weeks ago, noticed difference over acetamenophen alone in the first 2 days while taking 25mg at a time and still ramping up to 4x daily.  Now I take it every 6 hours, and if I miss a dose-especially the last one at night-significant pain and stiffness returns. Hope to switch to extended release version."


"Best decision I've made is to get Nexplanon. Reliable, long term birth control, with very few side effects. I've gained a small amount of weight (about 10 pounds) but I also gained a similar amount on the traditional pill.

I haven't had a single period since getting it, which is amazing. I followed my doctors suggestion of taking my last month of pills on top of my first month of having  Nexplanon."


"I was prescribed 15mg tablets to take one at night for sleep (or Doctor said 7.5mg was fine). I suffered from Anxiety (No Severe Phobias; more Obsessive Compulsive Disorder type personality), and Depression. This medicine affects your sleep feeling natural, not zombied. I sleep longer, it works better than heavy sedation medicines without being groggy, and I get through all the proper stages of sleep (I'd assume), as it has helped my depression MAJORLY & anxiety sufficient enough. I use to take Seroquel (for bedtime sleep 100mg), it zombies you and is long term very bad for your health. I tried about every SSRI & SNRI, and none seemed to help & only cause problems. I haven't felt this good in 8 years. Felt better immediately & GREAT after 2 weeks! Hope it helps you."


"I had a positive  experience , was effective"


"Better than Ritalin. "


"This is the first time I've been on BC, and so far things are going pretty well. It's been 2 months and have had 3 periods (although I was told to start my first pack the day I started my period, so perhaps that one doesn't completely count). Each period has been lighter and shorter than they were before, with some cramping but nothing terrible. I had mentally prepared myself for moodiness, but I haven't noticed any difference there. No acne, no headaches. The 1st month was completely symptom free, but the 2nd month has brought some bloating, indigestion, and nausea. I have found, however, that keeping my blood sugar at a normal level keeps the nausea at bay. Plan to stay on it for now and see how the 3rd month goes."


"I have been on Latuda 80mg for almost 2 months for bipolar. I can't function. It has made me more depressed than ever and I wasn't even depressed in the first place. All I had was really bad anger. Doctor told me I am bipolar???? I use to be happy and full of energy. Now I can't get out of bed."


"Week 1- sore throat. Bruising not healed.
Weak 2-5: major mood swings, irritability, cramping, spotting to full on period (2 weeks), acne."


"Started a 10 day regimen 3 days ago for a sinus infection but stopped today. Terrible GI reaction with diarrhea. Also now having restless legs at night."


"this drug works great on panic disorder.It calms me down alot. It is addictive the only downfall."


"I was set on trying Wellbutrin. I have tried Paxil and one other I can't even recall the name of. They made me feel like a zombie and my husband wasn't fond of them due to the sexual side effects. Wellbutrin was the hardest drug to get accustomed to. I went for a month having one side effect after the other. One week would be sleepless nights, the next would be general irritation at everything and everyone and perhaps the worst was nausea. I stuck it out and I am extremely glad I did. It has been amazing for me. I am much more motivated and excited about life. It increased my sex drive 100%! I also tend to be a social smoker and it obliterated that for me. I love this medicine. I take 400 mg daily."


"I was told about this medicine about 10 years ago.   At the time I could only find the original strength, and quickly found out that I could not take during the day because it knocks me out and I will be sleeping.  It is the only medicine that will take away the pain I am having.   I had knee surgery twice in a year and the prescription pain medicine I had took away some pain,  but with the Percogesic, the rest of the pain went away and I got to sleep.   I tried the maximum strength last year for the first time and discovered that it didn't make me sleep. ...actually hyped me up.   I discovered it was different than the original strength by having an antihistamine in which I am sensitive too.  So now I can take during the day. its the best!"


"I have been on this medication for about 5 years now, 4 tablets a day, down from 6 a day.  Thank goodness it has worked, as when I had attacks, I lost 20lbs in 6 weeks.  Symptoms are pretty much gone, and life returned to normal about 2 months after beginning this medication. I was 55 when diagnosed, and just turned 60 and am doing fine.  I have no apparent side effects."


"I have used Levora for a long period of time and never had any issues to speak of. My appetite stayed low and my sex drive was better than without the pill. My weight was easier to maintain, and it never shot up like with other pills I have used. My periods were also not only always on time but became lighter and shorter the longer I was on it.  When I came off of it over this last year I gained about 50 pounds but in that time frame I also had a knee surgery so my activity dropped drastically from normal. I don't think I can complain about anything regarding this form of contraception. Didn't have migraines, depression or anything of the other symptoms/side effects."


"I am using these to quit vaping. I cannot believe how effective they are!  I barely even think about vaping. I smoked heavily for 10 years, and vaped heavily for 5 years.  I still have that muscle memory of wanting to pick up my mod and it not being there, or getting ready to leave the house and not having to grab it. Those things you can't help, but I have almost zero cravings. When I do it's because of triggers like after eating and when driving and it passes quickly. I tried the gum and for me it didn't work at all like not even a little bit. I would recommend Nicoderm to anyone that's ready to quit!"


"I have been using Symbicort for the past two years. Before that I had constant chest infections and has loads of steroids and antibiotics. But since I was given this I can do a lot more and don't need my Ventolin very much at all."


"This medicine is horrible. My doctor switched me to this from zofran because of constipation. I took this 1 time and it is causing severe anxiety, blurred vision, irritability and an overall weird and bad feeling all over. I needed a medication for severe pregnancy nausea and this did absolutely nothing but make me feel horrible. It also made my headaches worse. I am throwing the remainder of the pills in the trash bc that it what they are."


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


"My daughter (8 yrs old) started taking Focalin 5 weeks into this school year.  Her teacher agrees that it is working wonderfully for her.  She is focused and her grades are great.  She was struggling to read, to make it through a regular school day, to do homework and to get along. We asked her how she feels on Focalin and she said " I feel so much better".  She is on 15 mg once daily and it is SUPER."


"I have had constipation for one year. My Dr. had me try all the usual, after having a colonoscopy. High-fibre diet did not help. Had a CT of abdomen and pelvis, with no problems. Also had a gall bladder scan.
The first 2 days on Linzess were awful: cramps, bloating, nausea, and unexpected diarrhea. It took about 10 days for me to acclimate. My gastroenterologist tweaked the dose to take the capsule after breakfast. Then, after another adjustment (taking the capsule every other day), everything is fine. Routinely, I do not plan to be away from a bathroom for 2 hours after taking a capsule."


"57 YOM. Taking Cialis/Tadalafil for 3 years & it has changed my life, my wife's life & our marriage for the better. My weak/sporadic erection issues started 4-5 years ago; felt like woody had a perpetual leak. Tried exercise, ginseng, nuts, avocados, oysters etc. with little success. Very frustrating for me & my wife.Decided to see an MD when my wife could not get me hard with oral sex. MD gave me a quick physical/blood test, then he gave me 2 10mg and 30 5mg cialis samples.He told me to take the 10mg on my Friday night & have fun. Wow, was he right! Having rock hard wood & great sex (oral, front or back door) with my wife ever since. Take 2.5mg (breaking 5mg in half) every night before bed with no side effects except great sex!  Good luck!"


"I was diagnosed with genital herpes earlier today, though the symptoms began a month ago and I mistaken it for a yeast infection. The sores started last Monday (5 days ago).
The burning was so bad to the point where I had trouble walking. After applying acyclovir earlier I experienced moderate burning for a short amount of time but after sitting down for awhile I felt relief. let's hope that tomorrow the sores aren't as painful"


"I've had acne for about 3-4 years. Was prescribed doxy and can not get through a week of taking it! It's been 5 days and I haven't had a pimple at all where I was getting at least two a day BUT on the fifth day I have small bumps on my forehead and my forehead is always clear but that's not the issue. I had severe headaches every night, my head felt so tight! I also got a small rash on my arm (about the size of a coin) on the forth day. The next day I had about 2 more small rashes on my body. My chest and boobs are covered in little spots and some have a white head, same with my back and I never had issues with my back or chest before! Down stairs area is so dry and sore. Honestly can't stand the side effects. Not worth the pain!"


"I used Yaz for about a year and it was obviously effective for preventing pregnancy and it did clear up my skin but for me there were a few negative side effects.  It took a while for me to realize it was the Yaz causing the problems.  I suddenly had very brittle dry hair that would break off and it just didn't seem to grow very much.  My cuticles became very dry which caused my nails to become more apt to breakage.  My eyes were very dry and I had to use eye drops several times a day.  I have been off of Yaz for about 3 weeks and already my hair is so much healthier and seems to be growing back in and my nails have not broken in a few weeks.  I have gone from using eye drops a few times a day to a few times a week.  The down side of being off of Yaz is my skin has broken out more but I can deal with that better than all the other symptoms."


"I was given Viibryd for generalized anxiety disorder.  It sure delivered....but at a cost.  The first couple of weeks that I was on this drug I had vivid dreams.  Some scary.  When I forgot to take my pill one morning, I felt very foggy all day at work, and then my face got super itchy.  I read that I shouldn't take it when I got home, but to wait until the next day, and take it the next morning, as usual.  BAD IDEA!!  I had horrible brain zaps!  Like someone put a live wire on my head.  When I finally fell asleep, I had the worst dream ever.  This dream woke me up and I was terrified.  I took the pill at midnight, ASAP, and it helped.  Within an hour I was asleep.  Not an experience I would ever want to go through again!!!
So, I was on this drug for a few years, and while it really helped my social anxiety.  Never got a nervous stomach ache while on this pill - and I even started with a direct sales business and was actually teaching small classes at people's homes.  (That was unheard of for me!  I was the shyest kid in class back in my childhood days). I was feeling super confident, but started having gastric issues and gained 30 lbs.  I have always been very thin, so 30 lbs made me feel horrible about myself.  The drug inflamed my stomach and made me a sugar fiend.  Basically, I felt like a heroin addict - but with sugar/carbs.  I hated myself because I couldn't stop eating dessert!  The sugar made my depression worse, and super fatigued.  I didn't realize that any of this was caused by the drug, so I saw numerous doctors, had ultrasounds, GIs, colonoscopies, etc., and spent a ton of $$ on those doctor/lab bills.  I prayed and prayed, and saw that others had some similar reactions.  I weaned off the pill, and lost 21 lbs so far.  I feel pretty normal.  But I am still taking Bupropion for depression.  STAY AWAY FROM THIS DRUG!!!!"


"Adderall IR had the same duration of action as Adderall XR for me. Both of them only had lasting effects for four hours and then quit."


"I love this product. Usually my cold sores are anywhere from 1-2 weeks, I woke up with a cold sore Friday got the cream and applied it at least every hour and that very day the sore burst on its own and it is Monday morning and its already healing and has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY smaller and I noticed its not as red as it was so its hardly noticeable. I'm sure this will be gone by Weds/Thurs the latest. It is very small packaging but every time I put some on I use a Qtip and a little goes a long way. It still looks unused and I've put it on at least every hour since I got it. Honestly at first I was discouraged from using it because of the reviews but I'm so glad I still got it."


"After a couple of days using Advair my mouth has become sensitive. I like hot foods but now, just a drop of Tabasco makes my entire mouth burn. "


"I started off using the pills, but if my migraine had already made me vomit, the pills would not work. I have now switched to the injection and highly recommend it! I can feel the relief in minutes. I feel a little fuzzy and need to lay down right after injection. The sleep is much needed and I wake up pain free and no side effects. The injection does hurt a little, but nothing compared to the pain of a migraine."


"Only 2 days in and I have zero appetite. I am focusing on weight lifting rather than cardio for my exercise and I have to force myself to eat so I get enough protein in, otherwise I truly believe I wouldn't eat a single thing all day. And even then, I'm extremely stuffed after just a few bites. I do get a bit jittery for an hour or two after taking my pill. I've also experienced what I'll call "pent up energy". I don't get energy like I want to run around cleaning the house, it's an energy like I want to go lift heavy weights. I would almost say it's an aggressive energy but in a violent or mean manner at all. I hope this continues to work as it has these first few days. If it does I'll reach my fat loss goal in no time"


"I've been taking this in tablet form for failed back surgery, and CRPS in both legs up to the thigh. It doesn't relieve all the pain, but it relieves enough to get me through my day of being a full time stay-at-home single dad. I think I got better relief from the oxycodone I was on before, but it would only last 2-3 hours, whereas the Dilaudid lasts a solid 4 hours, so I get a little bit more time with my little guy where my pain is under control. Wish I could take the ER version, but due to gastric bypass, no ER tablets work on me... Can't say it's given me my life back, because I was a wind turbine technician when I became disabled, but I get enough relief to be with my son instead of on the bed in relentless agonising pain."


"I've been on Wellbutrin for a year and a half now. I had been reluctant to admit I was depressed even though I was miserable. I was rude and snappish with everyone, unhappy with myself and just wanted to die. Then I started Wellbutrin.  Immediately, those thoughts in my head about what an awful person I was stopped.  When I consciously tried to think about them again, I couldn't do it without my brain also coming up with all the reasons those negative thoughts were ridiculous and untrue. The only side effect I noticed was lack of appetite but that went away after about three weeks.  This medicine works really well for me.  I feel so much more like myself."


"This medicine has helped my son be able to control his impulse decisions and helped him be able to go to school and do homework."


"I use Cialis occasionally on new encounters. Have noticed that although it works perfectly well most of the times, I have experienced occasions when there was little or no effect at all. The price is high so I restrict its use at a minimum."
