"I started Generess Fe 3 weeks ago, and at first I was extremely wary; I had reviews about unstoppable weight gain, terrible mood swings, breakthrough bleeding, acne worsening, and headaches, so I was on the edge. The first 3 days my face broke out the worst it had since middle school, and I was so upset about it because I had spent so much time and money to good skin, but after about a week and a half or two, my face has completely cleared up, since then I actually have less small acne then when I wasn't on BC. The only side effects I have experienced so far (knock on wood) is I am a bit more touchy on certain days or even random days, and I have a good bit more of the munchies or cravings, but otherwise no weight gain or crazy moods. :)"


"I'm 16 years old and I've been struggling with cystic acne since I was 12. Strangely my pimples will mostly come out on my nose and sometimes on my cheeks. They always grew huge and fat. Believe me I tried every topical treatment I can think of and even tried organic ones too and none of them worked I then decided to go see a derm and got the pills and honestly I was afraid of it not working and just making my pimples even bigger and worse but it did not. It left my face almost completely acne free
I have not felt nauseous, my acne didn't get worse, surprisingly!!! The pills have not giving me any horrible side affects
I believe the reason is because it's best to TAKE THE PILL WITH FOOD
It will lower the chances of getting side affects"


"Omg !!! I literally was in soooo much pain, burning and itching, that I had to call out of work. Two days later the pain eased up alot but I still had slight irritation. Went to the Gyno. She said I had an Allergic reaction to the medicine. Now I'm on a 7 day pill to clear up everything.. terrible. If you have a yeast infection just cure it with a pill or a couple home remedies"


"Calmed my racing  thoughts a lot.  Downside is the days I don't take them I feel mentally groggy"


"It helped me sleep, but only 4 hrs  with 10 mg dosage"


"I took Ortho Tri-Cyclen from when I was 16-20 years old the first time, and I recently started taking it again 2 months ago.  Both times, I experienced an increase in cup size (~2 cups), which was nice, but I think part of that is connected to weight gain.  After I switched to a different birth control the first time, I dropped about 7 lbs. over the course of a few months.  I then stopped the other birth control because I was having some bad side effects and dropped another 10 additional lbs., but on the downside my breast size decreased to an A (the size it was when I was 17 prior to taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen).  Now that I have been taking it for two months, I have definitely not felt like myself and have been depressed & unable to concentrate, and have gained 7 lbs."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I feel wonderful taking Beyaz but it's not perfect. It really helped with moderate acne, sometimes I would break out on my back and chest since taking I don't remember when I had a blemish. I have no mood swings, bloating or weight gain-- I'm actually at my lowest weight. Best thing my sex drive is great.

The only minus is my period still varies sometimes it's heavy, sometimes it's light and I'm still getting intensive cramps the first day but honestly, I have no other issues and I can deal with it."


"Have had psoriasis for 30 years I had a bad episode of planter fasciitis then the psoriasis affected my feet and lower legs really bad. So after fighting for three months finally got 80 percent paid by humira and it must go thru your insurance on the medical side and my Jehovah's got the co pay I am lucky. After a few months I am almost completely healed. Nothing but a big round, looks like a burn spot. No creams no lotions and potions."


"This drug really does work for IBS-C. I take it so I can sleep, but,discovered it works for the bowel problem. Amazing!!!!!"


"For years I suffered from almost debilitating obsessive thoughts that ruled my life. I had no control over them. They intruded on every single aspect of my existence, making being present in any given moment virtually impossible, because the thoughts would not let up. About 4 years ago I started taking Lexapro, and the relief, within a few weeks, was immense. Now I can actually enjoy my family, my life. It is truly amazing."


"Have been on this for about 4 to 6 years and wouldn't want to be off of it. It works together with my migraine medication to keep me clear and focused. No side effects when getting on it."


Acetaminophen / aspirin / caffeine / salicylamide

"For those patients who need a combination of this medication, try BC Powder. It is fast and very effective. It's a throwback from the old days. I am now approaching 70 and have been on some very powerful and addictive medications because I have all the arthritis'. This is the closest thing I have found that, at least, eases the pain so I can function. Good health to you!"


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


"I took this and within 24 hours the infection was reduced and bearable. I actually love it. I did get a little nauseous and threw up twice but it was worth it for me."


"Went to ER with a migraine and they  gave me torodol and a "cocktail" of other meds that did not work!!!"


"I've been taking 180mg timed-release dilt capsules for two years after my 95%-effective catheter ablation for atrial flutter.  I still get mild and transient afibs most mornings at 5 a.m. or so.  They stop after ten minutes or when i sit up or get up to use the restroom.  I think the vagus nerve responds to bladder pressure and sends a wrong signal to the heart to act up.

   I'm on low dosage by prefernce. Perhaps I'll ask for higher dosage if the transient episodes start to last longer or feel more severe. I can barely feel the "quivering' sensation that afib causes in my chest so I am happy for now."


"Nortiptyline has worked well for preventing my headaches for two months now.  "


"So after my experience with the mirena (awful and created so many bad side effects) I took this out and a few months later replaced with with the paragard iud "no hormones". garbage.. With this IUD, the panic attacks became more frequent and I've never had a panic attack until I got an IUD in. I had very bad periods, and cramps, when I got it taken out (mid June) I got my period in July and it was horrible. I felt like my body definitely cleaned itself out, but I lost a lot of blood. I've been experiencing more headaches as well and that has never happened to me. I also had a lot of infections because of it and bad discharge from it and now that it's taken out no odor, no discharge. Birth control
Sucks.. use condoms."


"This birth control was the best thing for me because I'd bleed for a month straight before the pill. This was difficult since I play sports . Now I only get my period once every three months . My period comes right when it should (on the sugar pill). The only bad effects I've had is weight gain, bloating, and increase in appetite. I've read many reviews and weight gain is an issue but if you workout regularly you should see decrease in bloating"


"I take Seroxat/Paxil for depression. When I started to use Vaniqa, it worked for hairs but I didn't realize that it was making me very depressed! Be careful"


"I am suffering by a strong urticaria, i tooked  fexofenadine 180 mg i felt very good and the urticaria has 90% gone but after 1 week it returns idk why and i was still taking my pill so i started taking 1 pill morning and one at night and the urticaria is still here but all i'll never give up maybe i am going to use hydroxyzine now"


"I read the reviews but was still eager to try it -- do not take this. This pills has made me extremely depressed and has caused me to have mood swings. I'm surprised my boyfriend is still with me, because since this pill I have been depressed, unmotivated, moody, and have had no sex drive! I do not recommend this pill to anyone"


"Depo is a great contraceptive but side effects included weight gain for me, irritability, moodiness and loss in sex drive."


"I cannot begin to tell you how much I hate myself for staying on this for as long as I did. I went from having extremely light and short periods to being on it constantly for the past year and a half. The only reason I was using birth control was so I would feel comfortable and protected during sex. But considering I had my period just about everyday, it was useless. I cannot tell you how many pairs of underwear I've ruined or how many boxes of tampons I've gone through. Let's not forget about the dramatic weight gain. In the past year and a half I gained a good 50+ pounds. Yes I know the birth control didn't put the food in my mouth, but my fast metabolism was shot. Even when I went on diets I did nothing but continue to gain weight!"


"Have been taking Testim 1% gel for the past several months....on and off.  Makes me feel better overall.  I'm 52 and about two years back had noticed a decrease in sexual performance for which I had previously been prescribed Viagra.  Notified doctor of increasing depression symptoms and fatigue/joint pain.  He added a testosterone test to annual blood test and my testosterone level was barely over 100.  Viagra no longer required and I note overall decrease in depression, increase in energy levels.  Note warnings on secondary exposure to children and pregnant females.  Wash hands after application.  No adverse side effects or drug interactions have been noted."


"I'm 57 and been using 4 pumps daily of Androl for about one year. T levels were 140 now are over 500. I can't tell you how much better I feel. Had anxiety that needed an occasional Xanax. No longer. Libido improved significantly, not only feel stronger but I am stronger. Every guy should get the blood work done to see what his T levels are. I have had no side effects but a better outlook on life."


"When all else failed (I had done Asacol and Remicade along with 6-mp and other treatments; Remicade did well at first but over time stopped working) I have found this medicine to be a great replacement for Remicade. The nurse comes to the house so its more convenient. The only down side is that it's injected intramuscularly and not I.V."


"Was on Prozac for 15 yrs, if it's not broke don't fix it kind of thing, wanted to drop the sexual side effects and apathy so after research requested bupropion (am a nurse). If you can stick out the first few weeks of side effects (same as others have sited) it is worth it. Can finally respond to my husband and am able to feel sadness and joy and concentrate more clearly. Do be mindful of any fluctuations you may feel with different manufacturer generics your pharmacy may use. It could be a nightmare (it was for me), like plummeting into an abyss in turmoil. Went to a different pharmacy to order the version that works for me!"


"I've been on Combivent for years and then had an allergic reaction to it which put me in the ER. Had severe skin burning and itching all over. Now have to stop it. It did help my breathing so not happy about this allergic reaction happening to me."


"8. 5"


"Been on this pill for 6 days and no loss of weight. First day felt weak, slept all day getting up to pee only. Woke up very hungry. 2nd and 3rd day abdominal pain, back pain, weak and very hungry. 4,5,6 day tired feeling cramps but still eating a lot as very hungry. Wish I knew 4 pills needed to max results as I feel if 4 pills need may not be effective. Discomfort not worth taking with no results. Too expensive not covered by insurance. So far very disappointed and 90.00 less in pocket.  Please buy a week at time and see if works for you. Talk to Pharmacist"


"I was recently on antibiotics and not too long after followed a yeast infection. This is not my first YI but it is the first time that my vagina felt like it was on fire after I inserted the cream and has felt a constant light burning feeling inside and out since I started and just started day 3. I googled because I was concerned and found this thread to know I am not alone! I am now at ease and hopefully the burning will go away in a couple of days once all the cream is gone!"


"Terrible, wish I could give a -10 lol. Had first and last shot beginning of July 2016 and been bleeding ever since! Mefanamic and tranexamic acids have done nothing. Anyone who has bled for months please tell me when things got better for you because I am losing hope. I don't know whether its the doctors are ignorant about what this can or that they don't are more concerned about keeping unwanted pregnancy to a min but it is scary how little they know about this drug. The side effect they kept making the most noise about was weight gain rather than possibility of bleeding for months on end."


"I began taking this after I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 ultra rapid cycling. I started at 2 mg and went up to 10mg gradually over the course of two months, but with no change whatsoever. If anything, my mood was even less stable while taking it. In addition to its ineffectiveness, it kept me from sleeping in its entirety. it might work for others, but it did nothing for me."


"Hey guys, I have been on bc pills since I was 16 (mom's routine regimen for her girls) my period was always extremely heavy before the pills. To solve my cramping, pain, & bleeding my OBGYN switched brands of bc until we found the best one for me. I liked the pills But My insurance stopped cutting the cost. As a college student they were too high so I went to the clinic & chose nexplanon Jan 2016. I had random bleeding the first few months, but that stopped. In August, it was normal (less blood). Dec 2016 I have not seen a cycle, just symptoms. I use protection, but I still take preg tests just to be sure. I'm happy I tried it! I recommend. I have only gained 15lb since I graduated HS. I stay active to maintain my shape KI'm 6'0 175lbs 20 yrs old"


"You can't believe everything doctors say. My eye was twitching unbelievably for weeks at a time and they kept saying stop drinking caffeine and its stress. I said it's probably because I have dry eyes. After fighting with the insurance company I was finally able to get Restasis and whala! My twitching ceased. I am so relieved. Life is hard enough why would I have to deal with twitching eye every day. They can sometimes cause them to be a little itchy I use a little allergy drop and I'm fine"


"17 weeks pregnant. Had a horrible cough since Saturday. Thursday developed fever and general feeling of unwellness. Saw Dr Friday. Took first dose of Tamiflu Friday night. Slept the best I had in a week. Saturday felt 60% better, no fever. Today is Sunday, feeling tired but not unwell. Planning on going to work tomorrow.
I did take it with food, but have has horrible heartburn when I sleep on my left from it. Also, nasal drainage is worse since taking it.
"


"I have been on 4-5, 15 mg oxycodones a day for the last 2 yrs and I finally have my normal life back. The prior 12 yrs I was in and out of the ER and hospital more than I can count, I just know in 2014, I was in and out a total of 14 times, with a GI surgery and in 2004- 2006 it was about 128 days total with a surgery.  I have a very odd birth defect in my GI system. Without the pain killers, I would end up in the ER 1-9  days every couple of weeks with level 10+ abdominal pains that would cause uncontrollable vomiting for more than 11 days at a time. No fluids would stay down, nothing. I would be bedridden to the point the paramedics would have to come carry me out the house to the ER."


"I used Effexor XR for depression and anxiety for almost two (2) years. Effexor has terrible anxiety and nausea first several days. I started 37.5 with .5 Clonazepam in the morning and before night, then upped to 75mg. Clonazepam was removed once my sleep was restored.

Great Drug gave me life and energy. Side effects lowered erection, sex drive and orgasm.

Kept me going well, gave much more energy comparing to Lexapro. Getting off after 2 years was not a problem. I was slowly reducing dose each 2-3 weeks."


"Was diagnosed 8/12/17, began treatment 9/25. I was super pumped. Initially had a slight rash and my thumb didn’t work, got too stiff to move two times for like a minute.  Second day I felt great. High energy. Stayed up late. Yesterday I felt like butt all day. Sore. Stomach hurt. Especially when I swallowed food or drink. Today wasn’t a whole lot better. At least yesterday I could eat. I’ve taken 7 Advil  over quite a long and now I can feel the crappiness coming back on. Called my ID specialist and she told me to stop taking it and come in tomorrow morning. I’m disappointed. But I gotta get healthy. My Cd4 counts are 9 and viral load is is 181,000. I just want to get better."


"I have struggled with Bulimia for 12 yrs, tried many different meds and nothing worked. Most of the antidepressants just made it worse. I decided to take matters into my own hands and did some research. I discovered that some Dr.'s had prescribed Adderall and had success. It took me months of pleading with my Dr and showing him info before he finally agreed to let me try Adderall. He prescribed me a low dose of 10mg and changed my life forever!!!  I had completely forgotten what it was like to lead a normal life! 10 months later I am still B/P free and loving myself again! Soon I'll switch to 5mg as I feel I've been able to reset my eating habits! Adderall saved my life!!!!"


"Hey y'all, I said I would do a rate if everything turned out in my favor to help nervous girls and it did!!! On Oct 30th at around 2am I had drunken sex with some guy I barely knew (stupid, I know). While we were getting it on, the condom slipped off and I've never been so scared in my life about pre-cum since he didn't ejaculate in me or the condom. I took the pill at around 2pm (12 hours) the same day and didnt experience any side effects until the 3rd day where I got serious cramps, sore breasts, and nausea. I was so scared that I could have been pregnant since my period was supposed to come on the 4th. Fast forward to the to the 8th and I got my period!!! Never been so happy to see blood in my life!"


"I've suffered from all four (Panic/ anxiety/depression/bad thoughts) for 7 years I've never had panic attacks like I do now, I'm finding myself on the internet searching about panic/anxiety attacks how are they cause what causes them, searching more into the answer I got  then searching more in to that answer I got and so on, it's to the point I'm scared to eat because I'm scared of having something to spike an attacks, try to avoid leaving my house let along the living room, my doctor gave me zoloft 25mg and I'm so scared to take it, what if it makes me worse what if it don't work, what if something happens while I have my kids alone, can I od, will I get addicted  feel like I'm going crazy"


"My insurance co would not fill a rx for oxycontin until I have tried opana & a couple of others I've never heard of. I was in a near fatal auto accident younger, I need a knee & hip replacement, breast cancer at end of 2013 & have had terrible time with infections, causing more surgeries.  I lay in bed usually 16 hrs a day (including sleep) because I hurt all over & even more w/ house or yard chores . I'm allergic to morphine, codeine, delaudid, Fentanyl, CT scan dye - I can take only Demerol after surgery. At home the only med that I am not allergic to is oxycontin & ultram. I am now trying opana, because of my insurance company.  I'm supposed to take 1 -20mg 2x/day. I am very disappointed. What little relief in gave me was only for about 2 hrs."


"i took this while i was pregnant when having alot of constipation and it really helped me i would stay regular."


"I researched OTC medicines for urinary tract infection last night when I was very uncomfortable with symptoms and had not been able to get to the Dr. The previous night I could not sleep due to excessive urgency after already emptying my bladder.  At 9:30PM I decided to get to the pharmacy to find this medication or something similar.  I was skeptical but amazed after taking 2 tabs as directed at 10:00PM I was able to sleep all night comfortably.  I did as the medication instructed and contacted my Dr. today.  All I wanted was to get through the night and it really worked! It works so well but don't be fooled that you don't need to see a Doctor. It will not cure the infection."


"I got my first shot the beginning of September after having a miscarriage of an unplanned pregnancy! Got the shot and thought I would be fully protected, WRONG!!! Low and behold, I am pregnant once again! I think the 99% rate is a bunch of bull because there are more and more people getting pregnant on this almost "flawless" birth control"


"I have been on Aviane for 4 years now and only recently went off of it for about 6 months to try the DEPO shot. I have had zero issues with it up until going back ON it after the interm. I am very sensitive to hormones, and the DEPO shot was not for me (crying, mood swings, feeling off). I even was switched to Lutera two years ago when the pharmacy was out of Aviane and I immediately noticed the difference with mood swings, sadness, and vaginal sensitivity).  For the first month back on Aviane I didnt notice a huge difference, but this second month I am thinking I am sleeping more, gaining some weight, and feeling off. I am also having extreme bouts of nausea. I am going to discontinue and hope that alleviates some of my symptoms."


"I was on lortab 10/500 for 14 years from 2000 until 2014 after having 2 lower back surgeries for chronic pain it worked best for me with the least side effects in 2014 it's like no longer available I'm guessing in fl. Or the U.S  now for 4 months I'm on hydrocodone 10/325  it is not effective at all for me I don't get any relief from it so I'm not as functional I'm in the bed more because of the pain and no relief from the 10/325.  what happen to the Lortab 10/500 ?"


"I have been on Hydroxychloroquine for over a year. It has eased the pain in my hands for a while but the longer I am on this medication it is not working as well as it did. I am still having stiffness and pain in some joints. This is at 200mg x2 daily."


"On tamiflu for the flu,  zpack for strep-throat and motrin for pain and fever. Day 2: me begging please give me penicillin please.. my throat began to swell and was covered with infection. I went to urgent care and was given prednisone shot along with Rocephin shot. Followed with prescription for prednisone, augmentin and diflucan. IMMEDIATELY the augment kick the hell out of the strep-throat. I began spitting out the infection.. the flu symptoms subsided. And all is right in the world. I had the runs, upset stomach and yeast infection.. all of those pale in comparison to strep-throat and the flu"


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

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


"I was on Ritalin XR, but it felt like rat poisen too me. I was only remembering the ups and downs, and the short goodtime was not worth it. Yesterday I took my first Vyvanse (Elvanse (EU)) and I was in heaven for the first time in my life. Everything that has been my problems seemed to vanish to some extent, and it lasted the all day! I'm so happy right know. I'm sitting writing this 2 hours into my second dose (day), and the most fantastic feeling has already kicked in. I'm so amazed that I can't get it out loud enough. :) I have been late diagnosed ADHD at age 48. I have struggled all my life with lot of failing, and had to work twice as much as others too achieve my goals. I'm so thrilled now for what the future will bring for me!"


"I have multiple chronic pain conditions such as bulging discs, fibromyalgia, occipital neuralgia. Flexmid is exactly the same drug as Flexeril. Both made me fall asleep and made me feel hung over when I woke up."


"This has saved my life, but make sure to take it on time"


"My doc highly recommended the IUD. Said it was the next best thing to sliced bread.  I had it inserted Aug 2016. After 8 months of constant bleeding/spotting, I went back to see my doc and she has put me on birth control (Lolo) for the next three months to stop the bleeding. After two weeks of adding the pill to the IUD, I started spotting again. I just want to cry!  I really don't want to have the IUD taken out as I have lasted this long. I wish I had a crystal ball to see into the future. I don't know what to do. Help!!!"


"My wife was suffering with vulvadynia for almost two years because we had difficulty finding a doctor who actually understood this condition.  When we finaly did, my wife was given prescriptions for desipramine and clonazepam.  Within a short span of time she experienced a significant improvement.  While she still experiences some "flares", the pain is never severe.  She has since located a physical therapist that specializes in pelvic floor disorders and expects that adding this treatment will take her even further along the road to recovery."


"Was on Sprintec from 04/16-10/16. Gave me panic attacks . I would shake violently, feel chest pains and shortness of breath. I always had shortness of breath and I always felt very irritated and stressed out for no reason. Periods heavy and painful. It gave me very clear skin and it prevented pregnancy. Went off the pill 10/2016, my scalp hair fell out rapidly. I was diagnosed with androgenetic alopecia, or female pattern baldness, in 04/17. This is despite the fact that I have NO family history of pattern baldness. My hair is half as thick as it was last year. Scalp is always smelly and oily. I think Sprintec messed up my hormones and now I am producing extra testosterone and, thus more DHT and now I have "pattern baldness". AVOID!"


"40 y/o WF I'm in day 3 of Contrave and have lost 2 lbs. can't be water weight because I'm drinking tons of water due to the dry mouth it gives me. No nausea or headache. i will say that I haven't been sleeping well however during the day, I feel almost "speedy." Not twitching or anxious but more energetic and focused whereas normally I could take a nap nearly anytime! I am very nervous about this medication though because in 2007 I had a seizure. I'm not epileptic and they never found the cause but I keep reading how it lowers the seizure threshold. My doctor obviously thinks the risk is minuscule but I'm still leary... Will update:) cheers"


"I take 3 pills twice a week. I take it at bedtime with TONS of water. The stomach cramps wake me up about 4am. They are fairly severe. Sometimes I get shakes or cold sweats. By 7am I have a BM but usually experience chills. I do get bad diarrhea for several hours after the first BM but after this my bloated stomach feels 1000X better and I can eat again. I get so blocked up that I don't wanna eat and feel sick. So yes there are side effects but they don't last forever and they are bearable. I'll take it again."


"Wonderful new medicine! Works wonders."


"I wish I would have read these reviews before I started taking this medication! I feel soooo sick! I started to wonder if I have something really serious like cancer. I am so weak. One minute I am drenched in sweat and then I have chills so bad no amount of blankets will warm me. I can't get out of bed and I must go to work tomorrow. I am a teacher and I have parent/teacher conferences! I constantly have a fever of 101 or higher! Why would they prescribe this medication to any one. Too many people have the same terrible side effects!"


"I just started Chantix yesterday morning.

As far as symptoms I had a brief headache when taking it, and nausea for about 10 minutes.. nothing that wasn't tolerable. I was very hesitant with taking the med because I have heard so many horror stories but honestly it isn't that bad so far. I did have pretty vivid dreams last night that were just strange and didn't make much sense but nothing terrifying. I normally smoked anywhere from slightly over half a pack to a pack per day. Yesterday I smoked 6 in total and today so far I have had less than half. I'm already starting to feel some withdrawal symptoms such as sore throat sore tongue slight headache ect. I plan on sticking with this med and will update later in the process."


"I never actually got to see if this medication helped with my depression because I had such a bad reaction to it I threw up so much from it I don't think any of it actually got into my system. The side effects on this were the worst I've ever felt on an antidepressant."


"Prescribed by Urologist with samples for trial.  Found negligible benefit for the intended purpose (very weak urine flow) but severe interference with sexual fulfillment and inordinately high price.  I quit after six weeks."


"Well,  was backed up for almost 4 weeks. After 2 weeks went in to ER, got lactulose. No success after being told to eat more fibre too. Went back 4 days later.  I had an x ray that showed a lot of stool. Try some citro-dan. Had little success. Took another the next day. No success. Was getting pretty rough. Went back and told to try restoralax. 3 days and was able to go  a little bit but it would not budge the rest. Went back again. Told to try suppositories. Well been using them every night for 4 nights. Decided to use one tonight also took latulose and fiber tabs and metimusul. Had some BM. Took Citro-Mag after BM and water. 2 hours later I felt al ot come out. Was getting a pale clay look of stool before. Got back to normal color and running. Hope it stays clear."


"So I went back and forth about starting contrave, weighting 275 and nothing was really working for anytime long term, I decided to try. I started in May and its now August, Im currently 245. Its been quite sometime since I've been here. All that said, I will say the first week sucked....I was nauseated, stomach cramps, felt like crap. Every day I debated with myself if I was going to continue taking it but I wanted to try, even though i felt bad. I'd say for the first month I wasnt hungry and I couldnt finish all of whatever i put on my plate. I didn't have desire for sweets or fried anything. Now, those cravings have slowly came back, but I'm still eating smaller portions.Keep an eye on your bl pressure and don't drink alcohol."


"I have taken Velivet for almost 2 years. I've been getting menstrual migraines from withdrawal sometimes during my period. Also have low libido which I'm not sure if it's related to this pill. "


"I've used this product before and it did wonders for my skin.. My skin did start to get red and irritated so I just used it every other night or skipped a few days in between. I had a lot of scaring on my cheeks large pores and oily skin and it completely cleared my skin. I remember my cousins girlfriend asked me if I had makeup on.( My skin was flawless) The first time I tried this product it was 0.1 percent cream and now I just started using 0.05 percent gel I hope it has the same effect keeping my fingers crossed"


"Drixoral worked. Nothing in the drug store works like drixoral did.  I'm tired of trying different brands to find what works because nothing does.  If there is such a demand for it to come back then bring it back in its original potency but have it be prescription only PLUS patients must have a documented chronic sinus condition"


"Had unprotected intercouse on day 16 of my 28 day cycle. Took ella 2 days later. Experienced mild stomachache for about an hour after, a bit of dizziness but not much else. Period came 1 day late, with no other symptoms. Highly recommend it, had way less secondary effects than with levonelle which made my period 4 days+ late and gave me horrible cramps. Good luck and don't stress too much!"


"Since going in the hospital with 790 count and staying 5 days. Since june 24th my count is 94--120 and its excellent."


"Okay honestly I'm not sure how well this has worked in terms of combating my acne. I started in December and ever since then I've had a mixture of AMAZING skin days but also a few bad breakouts of cystic acne (currently me right now). I honestly don't really know how to rate this because I think it has helped in some ways but it's hard to tell. I also went on minocycline recently which previously helped a lot but this time I went on it I think it broke me out even more?? Anyways thats my experience so far I'll stay on it to see if it gets better even though I've been on it quite a while"


"After doing my research on which method of birth control would be best for me (bc I tend to be forgetful) I went with copper iud. I had mine inserted August 2015 and I've had no problems. The first few seconds my Gyn inserted the iud it was a small pinch, but the pain went away once she was done. I had my period for 5 days and since then I've had a regular monthly period that last 3-5 days! :) I had read many discouraging reviews/experiences and I'm glad I still decided on getting this iud (non hormonal). No heavy period, each period is 3-5 days, no cramps, sex life is better, no weight gain, highly recommend it if you're not trying to have a baby within the next 2 years!"


"I started on saxenda March 2017 I aren't hungry, I have to make myself eat and experience a little constipation and I only lost 3 lbs I will continue on it and I will be doing more exercise and running longer miles to see if my weight lost go down more than 3 lbs any suggestions"


"Slight improvement in passing urine in reducing the number of times, dry ejaculations and low sex performance. Would like a medicine which does not impair sex performance."


"I've been on quite a few different kinds of medications for anxiety and depression, but I've never had a reaction quite like I did with this one. Within hours of taking it for the first time, I began to feel nauseous, drowsy, uncoordinated, shaky; my vision was blurry and I couldn't drive a car. These symptoms persisted until I stopped the medication. I tried it once or twice after stopping the first time, and the horrible symptoms came right back. I couldn't even do my work. If you have any sensitivities to this medication I would not recommend it. I'm no doctor, but even I know when a pill isn't worth the risk."


"My first shot was 17 years ago I remember being told by many people it made me crazy! I was also an active addict. I took dp off and on for a couple years it took me 17 years to finally get pregnant also I had only been sober for 6 months out of that 17 years in which I conceived after 6 months of being sober. It had been over 10 years since taking the shot which I try to blame too. I now have two babies and tried the shot again for about 9 months now. I would much rather have another baby than what it does to my mind and body. It's not good for me!!!! Will be glad when it's totally out of my system has only been 2 months since I was suppose to have gotten a shot I feel allot better just knowing I don't have to take it and I can get better"


"This is my 12th day on Citalopram and already I am noticing a difference.  I was on Effexor for over a year and it was okay but started getting really anxious and having panics attacks all over again, more frequent, and also really sad a lot, so decided to talk to my doctor about switching.  He said "Citalopram is my go-to medicine, and it's a lot cleaner than most."  I love reading the positive reviews. It gives me high hopes.  The first week I did feel a bit off but I know you just have to wait it out and things will look up.  So far so good! Good luck everyone!"


"Have been on this medication about 4 months I was wondering why I couldn't sleep and have gained and excessive amount of weight. I read the reviews which helped me considerably. I wake up with headaches in the morning. I take Excedrin it helps, my skin breaks out weekly.  My right arm is numb and feels like no circulation. I believe I am going to take my self off this medication. I can't afford to keep buying clothes. Oh by the way my sugar has gone up. I've never had this problem before. I believe this medication is the common denominator for most if not all my issues."


"I got Belviq on the 2nd or 3rd day it was available. I got a 15 day free sample and I've already lost almost 10 pounds. I have not had any negative side effects. This definitely makes you feel less hungry."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"The taste was not bad at all. My anxiety about this whole things was the only concern especially after reading the pamphlet in the kit which I do not recommend. It will just put ideas in your head to worry you (Some Side Effects May Include BS). I did the first dose at 6:30pm & cleared out within a couple hours. Next morning got up at 5am to chug down 2nd dose & about an hour later was passing clear yellow liquid. I starting prepping a few days earlier and not eating as much. Mostly light foods with little to no sodium. About 38 hours the before procedure I eat nothing. I had  jello (no red, purple, or orange), water, zico coconut water for hydration, and 1 small 1 ounce slice of turkey for lunch. Easy on the stomach & better than Golytely."


"I was put on Provera for abnormal bleeding due to uterine fibroids. It didn't help with the bleeding only made it worst. I had clotting the size of a golf ball and bad cramping...was told by nurse it can take up to 10 days for it to work well I was
on it for 14 days and nothing changed."


"I was prescribed this for GERD caused by gastroparesis. After 1 week I developed severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, gas and vomiting. I also felt short of breath, anxious and dizzy. I stopped this medicine and will never take again. I would not recommend this medicine to anyone ever. Wish I could give it a 0."


"Before I was prescribed xanax I weighed 90 pounds, bags under my eyes, couldn't get out of bed, had no appetite, dehydrated, couldn't leave the house, or even speak to anyone. I have SEVERE anxiety and depression & also suffer from PTSD.... thoughts on suicide were everyday and I had to be basically babysat 24-7 to make sure I didn't do anything stupid.

I don't understand why everyone talks about the negative effects of this pill when people like ME actually need it to function and live a happy lifestyle. Since taking it, I've gained healthy weight, no longer throw up from anxiety, i have friends now, and do activities i never thought i would without having panic attacks. Its a great feeling to be able to live again. Thank you XANAX"


"This pill is awesome. I am 43 yrs old and have used it for about one year now. I love this pill; it lasts me for about 2 to 3 days. You feel like you are in your 20's and you can go more than one round and on top of that in about 15 minutes after ejaculating the rocket is ready to launch."


"It's expensive but works. To bad my insurance won't cover it."


"I've been taking Trileptal for bipolar disorder for years. I switched from Depakote as it made my hair fall out and I hated the monthly blood tests. I take a large dose of Trileptal, 2100mg/day and shortly after taking it I may have some short-lived side effects (tingling in my face, mild double vision and sleepiness) for about a 1/2 hour. My doctor says I might avoid these if I'd split it into morning and evening doses but I have no doubt I'd forget the morning dose regularly. Trileptal has been very good to me! I still take a low dose birth control (Norethindrone 0.35mg/day) to help with "monthly" ups and downs and we've added Lamictal for it's antidepressant effects (I found out anti-depressants may increase cycling). I've never felt this "Normal" before!"


"Been on Livalo for two months now and it did not change my cholesterol levels. Still at 285/212. No symptoms or side effects. Just does not work for me."


"I have taken .9 Premarin (natural estrogen) for 23 years (after my uterus was removed at 34 and symptoms developed), and I am just fine (unless I don't take it).  Any attempt to use any oral artificial estrogen made me very sick and the patches left red welts that lasted for months. So I have stayed with oral Premarin, and although I don't appreciate the way horses are treated in order to produce it, I am very grateful that it stops the severe sweating, hot flashes, shakiness and weakness that comes if I miss it for a day or two.  It did not prevent osteoporosis.  I do look 15  years younger than I should - possible good side effect. 23 years and no problems."


"Taking Vesicare for overactive bladder and bladder irritation. I have been on this for over one year. It helped somewhat for the overactive bladder and irritation. Makes my mouth very dry and blurred my vision pretty bad. I don't know if I will continue this medication as I do not think the side effects are worth it. Also made me BLOATED."


"I am a72 year old woman previously very active hiking daily, yoga daily. I fell and tore minuscus in three places...4 doctors have told me to do knee replacements...however I have chosen to do Orthovisc 4 shots every 6 months....as long as I do strengthening exercise I am 90% pain free..however cannot hike hills or mountains and yoga is limited...but can swim and bicycle..Since I know so many with complications from knee surgeries....I will continue on this route. Mind you I lead a very full life and on my feet at least 9 hours a day...."


"I am a serious worry wort when it comes to periods and pregnancy, so last year I asked my doctor for a birth control pill that would give me regular periods. She recommended Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, and I could not be happier. I have a period every 28 days on the dot, and it's only heavy for a few days, with two days of light bleeding that I hardly notice with a liner.

I've been on it for a year now and have had zero side effects. No change in appetite, no change in acne - actually, some of my cystic acne has cleared up! No mood swings, and my cramps are MUCH better; I used to get cramps so bad I'd vomit from the pain, but now I only have slight discomfort for a few hours. And best of all: no pregnancy! If you want a combined oral contraceptive pill, this is the best!"


"Just Switched from Synthroid.
I had been on Synthroid for about 9 years. No fillers.No Brain fog.So Far I feel really good. A lot more Expensive.
But I Don't Care.. A lot more Energy. Much better medicine.
Try it!"


"Been using for 2 weeks straight now and it seems to be controlling the hot flashes during the day. I am still experiencing the night sweats, but I want to give a couple more weeks to fully get into my system."


"From day 2 of taking this medication I suffered all the major side effects you are told about plus the ones you have to search for, the worst being a permanent headache and wanting to sleep constantly.  After 2 weeks of use my pharmacist told me to stop taking the tablets, this was over a week ago and the side effects still persist, have had to visit my doctor who doesn't know the half life of this medicine (it was prescribed by my surgeon). I have had to have blood and urine tests and won't know what damage has been done until I get the results back.  I can't even drive until the symptoms settle."


"750 mg for 7 days home health and approx four days of hospitalization on levaquin. Drug is given once a day via IV. I am severely itchy at this point, not much is helping. Some temporary quick fixes with dr. Teals body oil. Last dose tomorrow, I feel weak, tired and have have the occasional muscle spasms accompiened by a nasty rash all over my legs, arms and stomach. It feels awful. I am ready to get off the meds tomorrow and hopefully the sleep insomnia will subside along with the muscle spasms."


"I've had the Implanon for about a year and have had nothing but problems. I have bled everyday since I got it.. and when I asked the doctor about it he told me there's nothing he can do. I get headaches all the time which I never got before. I'm going to get it out!"


"When I say I've tried almost everything on the acne on my chest, I really mean it. I broke out all over my torso, upper arms and forehead on holiday when I was 13 and have been in and out of dermatologists ever since. I've tried pills, lotions, changing my diet etc and had no results. I've even been on accutane for four months. I tried one last time and my derm gave me Epiduo. I'm not going to lie, my skin was unbelievably itchy, red and irritated for a while but I began to see results quite quickly. I've been on it for 3 months now and I can honestly say I've never been this clear. Going to see if every other day will keep it going. Might not work for everyone but certainly worked for me."


"My wife has a rare aggressive cancer called plasmablastic lymphoma  PBL she has been on numerous chemos over 8 months which knocked it out of everywhere except the liver. She was accepted to go on Revlimid  25mg (it's still a trial drug in Australia) she took a total of 7 pills over 9 days with dexamethasone the first 4 days. Bottom line she almost had acute liver failure, it nearly killed her. She still hasn't fully recovered from it a month ago.
Not saying it want work for others but be very cautious with this drug a watch the patient for reactions."


"It was ok."


"This is great for getting off any prescription meds. I was addicted to pain killers, then started suboxone. Wow. Works great. Still a little discomfort coming off the suboxone, but nothing like trying to stop straight from pain killers. If you really want to get off pain killers, this is it. But don't be a fool and use pain killers and then use subozone as a back up, you will never get better. You must be willing to stop all pain killers for good, 1 year later I took a pain killer and threw me into withdrawals."


"I've used this a few times for uti symptoms. Knocks me out but I'd gladly take that over pain. Does seem to make my urine burn the next day though."


"AMAZING. Valtrex 2 grams in the morning (first noticed) within 4 hours, they began drying up already. Took 2 more grams 12 hours from first dosage. Then for next 5 days, took 500mg twice daily. It was healed by 4th day. Literally amazing.  Brand Valtrex also-seems to work better than the generics, at least for me and am now on a suppressive to prevent outbreaks. "


"Started out on generic XL 150mg/day taken in am.  After 2 weeks, started seeing results;  feeling great all day with occasional depression at the end of day.  Doc increased to XL 300 mg/day.  Big improvement - more energy/motivation, no problem with any side effects except for welcomed weight loss!  Dropped 18 lbs in two months. Real easy to diet on this med!"


"Got some notable relief from bursitis pain in the shoulder but side effects became unbearable an hour after each dose. Lightheadedness upon standing, fatigue, abdominal nausea and cramping. Dr. changed to Prednisone 20mg with immediate results and no side effects."


"Hello..I want to share my experience. I was in the ER for ear pain. I got prescribe Amoxicillin/clavulate because I had an ear perforated...it was Friday evening and ENT was already closed. For two days I was feeling heart palpitation and my chest tight, but I thought maybe because am sick with an ear rupture. Monday I went to my Dr. at the ENT they took my vitals and my pulse was at 98 (my pulse is always at 80) and because my mind was not all there didn't think of the medicine. I went ahead and did some research and its my meds...am so glad that my ear was fine, what they saw at the ER was an old scratch. I stopped taking the medicine and feeling much better..hopefully this is help somebody whos going thru the same thing."


"I have an oily face and bad acne usually around once a month. I started applying Epiduo every night, and saw results immediately. My face was clear and non-oily. Then within a couple days, my face became over dry and it hurt and burned to put it on at night. It was miserable but only lasted the 1st week. My face then returned to it's normal oily level, but while also having the roughness of dry skin and peely skin in some spots. My face was also extremely red and sensitive, and my acne was much worse. After about 1 month, I decided to stop using it every night and only apply it on acne when needed and it is so much better this way. Face is no longer overly sensitive and red.

Side note, this does bleach towels/pillowcases/etc."


"So ive been on the shot for 4 months now and ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK U. IM ALIVE AGAIN AND SO GREATFUL AND HAPPY!! Got my life back. Im a better mother and person.. This shot saved my life. No cravings No thoughts about percs!! Just living life LIKE WE ALL DESERVE!! Xoxo NEVER GIVE UP!! Its the best choice in life u will ever make!!!"


"I lost my darling husband 5 weeks ago. My doctor gave me Lorazepam 0.50 mg. I still get upset but I'm much better than I was. The crying and not eating was making me feel so much worse. These pills are a God send."


"I wish I could say the taste was the worst part. For me it was the two glasses of water you are required to drink after the first 16 ounces of Medicine. Apparently I drank it too fast as it bloated me up till I thought I would burst. Tried to burp but threw water up in my mouth. And like so many others here I am dreading the second dose at 2 a.m."


"I have been on the patch for a month now. I absolutely love it! I have tried the pill and was having the worst headaches of my life and I was already on the lowest dosage. I gave up on the pill after 3 months. I have finished my fist month and have experienced no weight gain, mood swings, depression or headaches. The only side effects I have experienced are my breasts have grown slightly and become slightly tender before I get my period and I have a little bit more cramping when on my period. Besides these side effects I honestly feel like I'm on no birth control. The only negative I would say is that the patch can begin to peel which is easily fixable with cusion tape. I have PCOS and the patch has been the best option for me!"


"I could not tell that Humira did a lot to improve my RA.  It may have slowed the condition/symptoms down some, but in no way did it stop my condition.  I realize Humira is not a cure, it just didn't do a lot for me.  I had no obvious side effects though."


"No seizures"


"I was on the Mirena for 4 months, and I received it after having my first child. At first, it was amazing. Insertion did not hurt me what so ever. I did take medicine afterwards, but the day after I felt back to normal. Now, a few months later, all the side effects are popping up. I felt alone, depressed, and suicidal. I felt like I was drowning. I have constant headaches, a weight gain of 20 pounds in FOUR months. I thought this was all just due to my new postpartum life, but after reading others saying they gained weight I decided to get it out. Sex is incredibly painful for me and feels like I'm being stabbed. Periods lasting 2 weeks, then off 2 weeks, then again. This drug is terrible, although I really wish it had worked for me."


"Have been on 30mg for one week and 60mg for 2 weeks still no improvement in my depression, have lots of side effects like  very spaced out feeling at times, no motivation, low libido. "


"I'm a 21 year old , little over weight with a hormone deficiency called pcos . My

Doctor put me on Lolo for 3 months . For the first month my period was very heavy and painful and then a week letter I got my period once again , by the second time I only got my period once however it still was very painful . When I did get my period naturally ( off the pill ) it was very light and non painful . By the 3rd month I bleed for 3 straight weeks and had bad cramps . It did give me clear skin . However I did had a decrease in my sex drive and painful intercourse . I would not recommend this pill ."


"I take it as needed, I have depression and it gets out of control at time, I take 1 mg. and in 10 - 15 minutes I am ok."


"I came on here to write a good review because I feel like people are so quick to put their opinions out if a medication is bad way before if it is good for them! With that being said, if you are on here because you just started taking this medicine or just prescribed it and haven't started it, its sooo important to remember YOUR body isn't like another woman's, birth control effects everyone different so don't let some of these scary/bad reviews scare you( you'll find them under every type of BC review). What may be great for you, might be horrible for someone else. This is great for me!"


"Had this given 7 days ago. Initial pressure and pain with injection and a after injection pain rush but then ok. Not as sore as having Flu shot afterward. Piece of cake and glad to hope that I do not end up with Pneumonia as that  was really not fun at all. In the hospital for two weeks and weak as a kitten. If you need it, get it."


"Magical Product!! I didn't expect such results. I used it for 3  weeks, didn't complete the 4th week and I am not taking any dosage now since 2 weeks. Smoked about 2 during that time and the taste was disgusting. Side effects are very minimal. Highly recommended for people who want to quit.

The urge to smoke vanishes within days, but the habit remains. Like I used to go for smoking at work every hour. Now after every hour I stand up as part of my habit. But smoking is what I dislike. If you want to quit you should give it a try."


"This is not a complete review because I've only been taking Sertraline for a short time, but it may help new users on side effects. I started noticing right away I was happier, but I also had a lot of the uncommon side effects like drug-induced panic attacks and jitters among others. The doctor told me to continue so I hope those feelings subside because that's the reason I began this medication in the first place - not to have them! Crossing fingers."


"I've been on this medication only one week but am cautiously very optimistic. Prior to this I was on citalopram but still feeling very low and sleeping poorly, feeling like I needed to be in bed 12-16 hours a day. Now I am waking naturally after only 8 hours sleep and finding it much easier to concentrate at work. I can hardly believe it is working so quickly but I feel so much better. I've had no side effects."


"My nasal congestion hasn't gotten any better, I've experienced no relief. However, I am writing this at 4 in the morning, so this medicine gave me both insomnia and shaky/jitteriness. "


"I have been dealing with chronic neck to lower back pain. Just found out I have degenerative disc disease and have three bulges up in my neck, with also bone spurs growing off my vertabrae. I currently am taking two 7.5mg/325 Norcos 4 times a day with four 5mg Valium that's for my constant muscle spasms and cramps all over my back and legs. At this point I'm seeing my doctor in a week so I can get my strength on Norcos increased or go on to Oxycontin. My pain never goes away and it's sad when you are only a 27 male, married with two kids 4 and 8 years old."


"In the first  2 weeks of taking these I gained 5 lbs easy. It might just be water weight (I have read that, that is normal) but it is definitely noticeable! In addition to the gained weight I am nauseous ALL THE TIME and have constant headaches. I am a freakishly healthy eater, I exercise 6 days a weeks and all this has stayed the same. The only thing that I have changed in my routine is the inclusion of this medication. After reading about the experiences of others that are similar to mine I'm going off of it ASAP."


"This birth control made me miserable. I could not even take it for one whole week. Immediately after taking it I started to feel sick. I had a headache every day after starting to take this pill. It made me feel tired, lazy, depressed. It seriously made me feel like I was pregnant all over again!!! I also felt really bloated right after taking it. My pharmacist recommended it because my new insurance wouldn't cover my old bc Pimtrea. They said it would be basically the same and it definitely was not. I know everyones body responds differently but this one has been the worst for me. I have been taking birth control for 15 years and this is the only one that has ever made me feel sick."


"I have been on Celexa for about 15 years and it's great. The only symptoms at first were dry mouth and yawning which eventually went away. I tried about 2 years ago to wean myself off with my doctors help and I had a horrible relapse so I am going to stay on Celexa as long as my doctor allows me. I actually feel normal all the time and very balanced."


"Took tamoxifen 9 months. Extreme bruising. Switched to Arimidex. After 4 weeks, extreme pain in hand. Next severe headaches. Each month brought increased pain in thumbs, hand, feet, long leg bones. Joints hurt, wrists weaken every month. After 10 months became depressed and had insomnia. Finally, had enough and stopped. Within, 2 weeks long bone pain went away. I still have some knee pain, trigger finger, and wrist weakness and its been 3 months. Doctor switching to Aromasin next month."


"I am now 55 years old.  I started developing acne when I was 14 .  It became so severe that my parents took me to a dermatologist.  This was back in the 1970s when all that was available were antibiotics and infrared light treatment.  It worked on and off, but after several years my body built up a resistance to the antibiotics and the severe acne returned.  I was prescribed accutane when I was 29.  My acne cleared up in 3 days!  I had some mild side effects: dry skin, dry lips (which continue to this day).  But my skin is crystal clear and has been for almost 30 years!!!  I highly recommend this wonderful medication.  I don't know what my life would have been like without it,"


"
For me it was incredible, in few hours I saw the improvement, without side effects, always take it with food. Truly effective, to eliminate the annoying symptoms of a bad flu."


"My sister is in town trying to find Uristat; she has been to 2 drug stores.  No luck.  I have used this product for 40 years.  Description says does not cure Urinary tract infection.  This is a misnomer.  This is a wonderful product with no side effects and I am very sensitive to medication.  I rate this very, very highly."


"I took Lunesta only for a few days because it gave me unpleasant taste. It was really bad. Then I switched to Ambien. It was better than Lunesta, but there was a residual effect that the medicine made me irritable and anxious next morning. My doctor gave me Silenor. It is better than Ambien CR. I do not feel anxious or irritable next morning and I can sleep 8 hours. The only side effect, though very minor, is that it makes me sluggish a little. But, overall, Silenor is better than Ambien CR. "


"I was 41 when I was diagnosed in 4/98 and took Copaxone until 9/99. I was one of the lab rats in the original Tysabri trials.  Then the FDA approved it and removed from the market due to PML.  My MS came with a back with a vengeance & I was still on Copaxone.  I got back on Tysabri in 4/07. I am almost 56 now and still working full time. I still go to the gym relatively regularly and lead a good life. If your immune system is okay other than MS, have not taken any nasty immune suppressing medicines and if they test you and you do not have the JC virus its a no brainer.  If you have the JC virus its more complicated.  My MS is still not easy but its my best option. Look at the stats vs. other options.  Good Luck!"


"I've been on lol for about 5 months now. I have experienced heavy bleeding for weeks at one point. But for the most part my biggest complaint is the mood swings that I'm getting. It's getting to the point where I am unable to control my emotions, I feel angry mid pack for no reason. It has definitely strained my relationships. I also receive random headaches. I'm not taking this pill anymore. For the most part it does help prevent pregnancy."


"I too am in constant pain mobic worked wonders but stomach wouldn't tolerate it. My dr gave me 7.5 twice a day instead of 15 amazing results."


"Lamotrigine was the first medication I was prescribed after being diagnosed with bipolar II at 32 years old.

Almost immediately, I felt more even. As I was titrated from 25 mg to 250 mg over a few months, I was lifted out of a severe, crippling depression. Lamotrigine is my %u201Cpep%u201D drug because it works for me as an antidepressant.

I did go manic on it a couple times when the medication dosage was increased and had to go on a second medication (Neurontin) to %u201Cbring me down.%u201D But the two meds together work to even me out.

Overall, I think this is a great medication. I%u2019ve had no major side effects except severe insomnia but the second medication   sleeping medication help manage that."


"Best medicine to open your ears and sinuses when they are really congested. I have tried everything. The name brand is great but the store brands or generic brands can cause rapid heart rate even though they say that they are supposed to be the same they are not."


"This the first time I have my cholesterol under control in30 years dropped from 388 to166 after 4 months. It is very expensive though hope price is reduced soon im lucky to be getting help from the Patient Access Network.i worry about this help being stopped in the future which will cause me to stop taking it and having to go back to the medications I used to take which did nothing for me"


"Started on this 6 months ago.  My own personal miracle drug.  I had never known peace or stability before Lamictal.  I hope to stay on it forever, and also hope it continues working this well."


"I'm only 40 years old and after a life time of urgency and frequency - Myrbetriq has changed everything! I can remember being in my early teens and having dreadful pain throughout the day - it's been like that until now. I've been on 50mg for about 3 weeks now no really side effect yet.  Except one that puzzles me - somehow it's relieved body and joint pain I've had for years. I have a couple of autoimmune diseases, so I always thought that pain was caused by that - and my doctors treated me for it too. I've tried finding information on if Myrbetriq somehow helps with pain, but I haven't found anything on it. Perhaps it's jjust a reaction I've had? It's just odd and I'm not one to just to conclusion but I can't help assume."


"over a period of time, apriso caused me wasting of muscles (motor neuron disease)"


"i have a meeting in 45 minutes and my vagina couldn't be anymore itchy. there is no pain, but there is SO MUCH ITCHING AND ITS ALL THE WAY UP. THE CREAM CANT GET TO IT. I'm crying hysterically trying to ice it and feel some type of relief but nothing is working. i know it works which is why i took it, but PLEASE THINK TWICEEEE OMGGGGG..."


"I am someone that does NOT like to take medication.  I am an adult and I found out I was ADD back about 5 years ago and started taking Strattera for it.  I  am a slow metabolizer so was using 10 mg per day of Strattera.  Recently I felt the need to add some additional medication to help me focus a little better.  In reading about Daytrana, the thing I liked about it was that I knew I could cut the patch down in size (to 1/2 or 1/4) if I felt the dose was too high.  I usually am VERY sensitive to adhesives, but I've been on it about 2 weeks now and have not had a problem at all. I clean the site where the patch had been with alcohol after I take it off and have not had any skin reactions.  The product is GREAT (10 mg dose patch)."


"I am 62 years old on Adderall XL for ADD, on the medication for 4 years now. I find that Adderall does help when I first take it but seems to wear off as the day goes on. I get very sleepy while on the medication and have no problem with my appetite (no weight loss at all). I asked my Doctor to raise my dosage (I am taking 20mg per day) but he does not want to do it because of my age and concerns that it may affect my blood pressure, even though my pressure is normal now. I have no side effects at all from this medicine, just it is not helping my concentration as much as it did in the beginning, I think after a while the effectiveness wears off and an adjustment in dosage is needed."


"I have had a terrible time with blood pressure medicine.  I received 25 mg on Hydrochlorothiazide but after lab work my doctor said I was losing too much potassium so he took me off it.  He then had me take Triamterene, 37.5-5.25 mg tablet.  This medicine gave me potassium but also had two diuretics.  I experienced increased bruising and weakness in my legs and cramping in my lower legs that it was very difficult to get out of the pool after exercising.  I am  now taking Amlodipine 5 mg tablet.  My ankles and feet swell up something awful, my legs feel very swollen as well and I have developed a terrible rash across my breasts.  I am a 63 year old female."


"I have taken 150 mg of this drug for 3 and a half years for condition known as Benign Epilepsy. In that time I've continued to have seizure every six months on average as well as experiencing a number of negative side effects including, insomnia, constant sighing, impaired short term memory, lack of motivation, depressive thoughts and difficulty completing tasks due to lack of motivation."


"It burns at the beginning but within a few minutes stops the pain associated with severe psoriasis. It numbs the affected area for relief."


"Made my symptoms worse and caused even more issues. The pain from the injection wasn't bad but the side effects were horrible. I say avoid this drug"


"I was on Seasonique for the past 4+ years.  I absolutely loved it.  I never spotted in between periods or had any other problems.  Before I started I had some minor breakouts, but once on the pill my face cleared up completely.  The only change I did have was prior to Seasonique I never cramped with any of my periods and while on the pill I had moderate/severe cramping for the first few days of all my periods.  Now my husband and I are trying to concieve and I have been off the pill for almost the last two months and I'm still waiting for my first period to start.  I have been told this is normal once leaving any birth control."


"I have crohns disease, emetephobia & i also take quite a few pain meds for chronic pain all of which make me extremely nauseous so i suffer nausea allooot! Ondansetron is a life safer for me i take 4 mg every 8-12hrs on a good day some days i take 8mg if its really bad! Ive been taking it daily for nearly 6 months and it is still as affective as the first time i took it! I live in the uk so am fortunate that i dont have too pay eye watering prices. Id reccomend too anybody its brilliant"


"I didn't use it long enough to see if it would prevent my monthly migraine but I wanted to share the side effects I experienced.  I started with 25 milligrams twice a day for 7 days and felt ok but did experience some tingling in my feet and fingers.  Then I increased to 50 milligrams twice a day per doctor's order and things really changed.  I started having the craziest dreams every night.  Tingling was very pronounced every day in feet and hands.  I couldn't get out of bed easily. I felt very lethargic and really like a zombie. I kind of had a flat affect and felt very robotic at times. Other times I was very depressed and irritable or even angry.  I stopped taking it. Also was hungry all the time. That was not normal for me at all."


"Ive been on this medication for around 3.5 wks now & the difference is amazing. Pro's - My temper has calmed considerably, I don't feel foggy or anxious the whole time, I can sleep & the most amazing thing is that the Bulimia episodes have pretty much stopped altogether! Con's - I have pretty much no appetite to the extent that I remind myself to eat or I feel ill, a bit of dizziness, really tired first couple of weeks but now I feel like I have lots of energy, upset stomach a few times. Its only early days but I'm actually laughing & feel human again! I'm hoping that these help me to resolve issues going forward."

"Worked really well for my depression and anxiety, but triggered a hypomanic episode after taking it for 4 weeks."


"I've used NuvaRing for over two months now, and when I first started using it I had stomach pains (like cramps) for two days, but since then nothing. I can't feel the ring, neither can my partner, and it has never fallen out. Slightly dryer than usual, but not disturbingly. Other than that, I'm completely normal; no acne, no mood change, no weight gain, nothing. I love it."


"I've used Ortho for 17yrs off & on. I have PCOs, PMDD & painful uterine fibroids. This is the only pill that stops the most heaviest of bleeding within 24-32hr for me! Stops the horrid pain of my fibroids & cysts. I've never gained weight from it, it's always cleared up my skin & periods are 60% less painful & the flow is low & short lived! This one has always been perfect for me."


"I started Harvoni Feb 2 with a viral load of 8,230,000
 After 1 month now it says. Hepatitis C Quantitation
HCV Not Detected. Two more months This medicine is a miracle drug.
 Thank you for Gilead"


"Medicine was effective to a degree it ameliorated muscle pain, joint inflammation, and mild-to-severe headaches.  Inflammation/rash in upper body area (predominantly on the back) occurred within a week of beginning three-week regimen--persisted until end of ingestion; though it faded in both discoloration and swelling, as well as itching, over time.  Some blurred vision and intestinal discomfort occurred, but was not debilitating to any significant degree.  While fatigue was lessened somewhat, it did not preclude a general feeling of somnambulism or sleepiness; which my physician says may persist for a few weeks or even months. Overall, I'd rate this as an effective medication against the Lyme Disease I developed."


"I have had this for two months. I am still breast feeding my youngest so my period has yet to return.

There has been no pain or spotting or bleeding whatsoever.

The only difference so far is increased in vaginal dryness but that could be attributed to the breastfeeding and getting older.

My family doctor said to get the IUD replaced after five years because the wires may disintegrate in the acidic environment of the vagina making the removal process difficult. Even if the copper IUD says 10 years."


"I like Camrese. I used to take Seasonique but changed insurance and now Camrese is free. I had some spotting, but it went away promptly. I never had a lot of spotting and I never get my period every month off of birth control anyways, probably due to low vitamins and/or low weight. Camrese made me breakout with a lot of blackheads on my chin and around my mouth. Non-smoker, 26, had been taking Seasonique since 15 so about 11 yrs. Camrese makes me feel hungrier. Mood is pretty average PMS seems a bit more intense. But it's free and it's keeping me from getting pregnant."


"I've been taking Seasonique for almost 10 years.  I've tried the shot and nexplanon and I hands down prefer Seasonique.  I don't think I could ever go back to having a monthly cycle.  I haven't noticed any major side effects.  I do suffer from migraines; however, I had migraines even when I wasn't taking Seasonique so I don't think the two are connected."


"I really like Implanon. Especially the part of not remember to take the pill. Plus I always gained weight from estrogen pills and soon as I went off the pill I lost 23lbs in two months. Once I had Implanon inserted back in February 2009 my period lasted a little longer than normal (2 weeks) and then it stopped.  It is now March 2010 and I had some light bleeding.  I am also taking Doycycline which I thought could have caused the bleeding.. but according to studies it is supposed to stop it. Oh and one negative thing is acne.. never had an issue before this. But otherwise works great at preventing pregnancies."


"I used this medication for neurogenic bladder with constant UTI's. It helped my bladder, but I got dry mouth and severe sinus swelling.  I  was unable to breath out my nose and eventually got sinusitis and had to stop the medication after 3 months."


"I've had the implanon for one year and I'm getting it taken out next week, cant wait! It is really great for birth control, was free to get and I didn't get a period for the whole year... but the side effects are not worth it!! I have gained 15kgs! (I always used to be skinny) I get headaches and body pains almost everyday. Oh and the mood... I get anxiety and depression so badly this past year. I went from a fit, skinny, happy, normal 22 year old... and now I am chubby, miserable and sore everyday. Do not get this."


"I do sleep about an hour more per night. That comes to about 6 hours a night total"


"This drug helped me a lot when I suffered a severe depression about a year ago. "


"Am a 36 yr old male, Celtic bloodlines both sides and until 9 years ago of suitably pale disposition! Have rosacea for 9 yrs and have been on antibiotics (minocin 50mg) for 8 of them, along with annual IPL therapy. Was off the minocin until last week for a year when my dermatologist put me on 100mg and also prescribed me Mirvaso. I seem to have a reaction to the 100mg with red blotches and spots, so after 3 days I tried the Mirvaso. Used 3 times over 4 days. Worked a dream the first day, but effectiveness wore off. Last 2 days have suffered very very bad rebound flushing, tingling on cheeks followed by burning sensation. Hottest parts of flushing nearly purple. Booked in for IPL today to try and reduce redness/purpleness. Avoid."


"Testim was my first product for low testosterone, I found it quick to work, and it brought my very low levels to mid 400s. I found that my sexual desire was sometimes uncontrollable on this product as compared to Axiron which seems more steady. Also, the smell is musky and bothersome to me as I don't wear cologne.  One side effect I had was quick hair loss.  This leveled off after a while and it is a known side effect.  I liked using the tubes, because I knew how much was going on my body and how much I had left.  This is a positive."


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


"I had to write about this awesome medicine. I have been sick for about a year. I couldn't do anything.  I had been from doctor to doctor, no one knew what was wrong with me. I went to an awesome rheumatologist, she did a ton of tests and X-rays and waved her magic wand and said I had fribromyalgia.  I was so relieved to be diagnosed.  She gave me the Savella.  Now she is titrating me very slowly.  Giving me 2 titrating packs so taking twice as long, 4 weeks.  It does have lots of side effects, I agree, but I can walk freely.  I can run my own errands.  For several hours in a row I actually feel like my old self again.  That is worth every side effect.  I am losing weight.  No complaints here.  I love it."


"Oxycontin helped me through pain from a recent auto accident. "


"Clomid did what it was supposed to do as far as making me ovulate.  However, I experienced a lot of pain, fullness, and bloating during ovulation time.  I also gained 10  pounds during the 3 months that I took Clomid.  "


"I always had panic attacks.  I'm now 43 and klonopin wasn't really working anymore.  The propranolol works great.  I recommend this med it saved my life"


"This is my first experience and I just pray I never have to do it again! Drinking this stuff was harrowing and I don't know how I'm going to get through the second dosage. After one sip I knew I was in trouble! I called my doctor's office and they said it would be ok to mix the 16 oz cup with ginger ale. So I took 4 oz of the mixture and mixed it into a tall glass of ginger ale. But then they called me back and said I shouldn't do that and that I shouldn't sip it, best to drink all at once. Nightmare! So I just took a deep breath and finished it. I was sure I would throw up, but luckily I didn't. I ran to the bathroom to rinse out my mouth with cold water. Then on the toilet for two hours. It works!"


"I have suffered from urinary urge incontinence for a number of years.  It has gotten worse over time until now, I have had no control at all.  My doctor prescribed Vesicare and I have been taking it for two days so far.  I can't believe the difference.  I am now able to control the urge and even postpone the length of time between toilet visits.  It will be so nice to be able to leave home and not worry that I'd better pass a toilet every half hour while I am gone."

"I was prescribed 15 mg for acute insomnia and the first night I fell asleep so well, it felt like my eye lids were heavy, then the vivid dream came.  This continued for a week, and I was so groggy, had trouble coming out, but it is supposed to work better the longer you take it, and I am sorry I did not use this medicine longer.  I am going to get it again and try a full 30 days and see. Looking forward to a nights sleep.  Ambien is great, but the side effects are too much for me, but everyone reacts differently to these medicines."


"I've had acne since like the 7th grade and I didn't really bother to do anything about it because it wasn't bad but at the end of 8th grade it got worse so I went to a dermatologist and she prescribed Epiduo to me and I used it and had clear skin for almost the whole summer, but in August when school started my face started getting horribly dry and peeling and it hurt. So I went back to the derm. and she prescribed Differin (0.3%) gel and I've been using it now for 4 months and it works great! I have to say it does get worse before it gets better. "


"I took Ambien for years and it helped me sleep, at first. Then, instead of sleeping I would walk around without any memory of it. I gained weight from eating without any memory. I think Ambien could be great for occasional insomnia but I don't recommend it for long term use."


"Lexapro has been a God send for me. I started off with 10 mg and it didn't do a thing, so I was increased to 20 mg, and wow what a difference. I now find myself actually starting conversations with people - something the pre-Lexapro me could have never dreamed. I feel so much more relaxed - like a real person, finally. No side effects at all either except it definitely increases the effects of alcohol. Didn't really do much for my depression, but I think just feeling less anxious is helping it along."


"I'm in the final year of my 5. Having spent the vast majority of the last 3 years with no bleeding I'm now having a period or something. Has been 4 days now, should I be concerned? Advice please"


"Helped me with alcohol, opioid and Adderall addictions. Keeps me focused and takes all depression symptoms away. Highly recommended for people with alcohol and substance abuse issues."


"Was on methadone for 4 years, worked well."


"Been on it for 4 weeks, started of with the meanest night sweats like somebody threw a bucket of water on me, my appetite is more controlled meaning I get full fast, and when I first started I had the worst fatigue ever but everything is fine now just dull cramps every here and there."


"Used mervosa for just a few days and every day when the medicine wore off my face got progressively worse with extreme redness and a burning sensation. My face is hot and I will never try anything unnatural on my face again. I should have been more wary of my dermatologist when recommended cataphil after I told him I don't use anything with parabens or suldates in it. Lesson learned, I suppose....."


"Yes, this medication works to eliminate symptoms of allergies, however I had a big issue with - what I'm assuming is - a side effect of the medication. When I took the medication my personality immediately changed; I actually became less talkative and happy and it severely affected my life to the point where I randomly started crying during school. I'm assuming that the medication put me in a depression-esque state (I've never had depression before so I can't say for sure) but it altered my personality in ways my personality has never changed for the three days I took it and people noticed. It was honestly terrifying. Be wary of the side effects when taking this medication."


"I am thinking faster and have less pains in my legs and chest."


"I've been using tretinoin 0.25 for almost 3 months now and I'm on the purging stage and it stinks. Hopefully my face gets where it should be like everyone says. I'm really waiting for my face to be clear again."


"Lifted me out of a deep, dark depression at 450 mg/day combined with Remeron 45 mg/day."


"I've had the implant for around 2 years and the first year was fine. Completely forgotten TBH. The last few months however, I've had really horrible mood swings and been extremely depressed. At first I thought maybe I wasn't mentally healthy but after reading such high statistics that the implant does in fact provoke depression I'm certain the implant is making me feel this way. I sincerely hope no one goes through what I did!! It's caused such fights in my life because I've had extreme anger and upset."


"I have smoked for 32 years and I've tried everything to stop. I have now gone on to the Inhaler. Omg I can't believe it works..... When I feel the need to smoke I grab it and the urge goes straight away"


"It was great to bring the viral load quickly to undetectable but otherwise it was not a great experience. Was on it for about 8 months.. Head aches, fatigue, weirdest dreams, irritability, depression and almost commit suicide.
Got off that drug and a few days later I started to feel like myself again..."


"Without Emla cream I don't know how I would have made it through my cancer treatments...Thank you so much. I am now finding it impossible to find Emla. My pharmacy have told me it has stopped being manufactured...is this true...Please say NO."


"Took one tablet at 10pm last night and I woke at 2am with the worst cramps I have ever had. Last year I gave birth without pain relief and honestly the cramps were close to the pain if had then. I was shaking, I was hot and came close to collapsing I was so weak and dizzy. Yes I did go to the toilet but I would rather be constipated than have to go through that again. It's now 8am the next day and after having hardly any sleep I still feel sick and weak"


"I have been taking Buspar for over 2 years and have had a lot of success. Recently had to increase my dosage to 15mg twice a day as my anxiety started to increase this past summer for no apparent reason. I also take 60mg of Cymbalta every other day but think the Buspar is what really is working for me. I feel for all people that have issues with anxiety! It's the worst and horrible to go through. Hopefully Buspar will keep working for me."


"This is the only medicine that totally helps me.  I seldom have to take Alprazolam or Valium with the Effexor.  I tried switching to Cymbalta for nerve pain..what a mistake.  I am back on Effexor. "


"Well I payed 40$ for something that make makes me throw up and get a bad headache ?? I am only on second dose and I pray tonight I don't vomit lol why is this a side effect ?? I don't get it :( after last nights episode I was scared to

Even take this tonight but I did lol"


"im 18 and this is my first time with a YI. My mom recommended and bought me the Meijer brand Miconazole Nitrate Vaginal insert 1 day treatment. Instant and lasting relief from the cream. I used the insert before bed and a little burning occurred but not much. Now it's 3am and it started to leak out and I've never had this bad of an itch and burn before. The infection was not even this bad. It's driving me nuts and before I found this page I almost went and woke up my mom. It's starting to cool on the itching but the burning is still there. I'm not enjoying this product! Hoping for the best!"


"My Doctor put me on 10 mg of Amplodipine for high blood pressure.But he had to take it down to 2.5 mg because I was getting dizzy and had double vision  While it does bring my bp down the side effects are just to much to handle. One hour after taking this medication I get extreme anxiety along with head aches and not sleeping very well at night like I used to. I also noticed a lot of fatigue.I will be asking my doctor to take me off this medication and switch it to some thing with less side effects........."


"I've been on this pill for 10 years now and it's been great up until about a year ago.  I'm 33 year old now and have experianced depression and angry mood swings a week prior to my period. 1 week after my period I experiance increased libido, 2 weeks after I break out, then the cycle repeats all over again. I have never had acne, not even as a teen. I believe that my hormones are just changing due to aging and I will speak to my doctor about slightly increasing my estrogen level through a different pill."

"I'm 18 years old and started having breakouts in the beginning of puberty. Even though it's a part of your hormones changing and stuff I am really insecure about acne of my jawline and chest area. My dad took me to a dermatologist and I got prescribed Differin. I've used the cream for about 2 weeks and can start to see small improvements. However, I have started getting flaky skin as well. Overall it's a good product but you need to be patient."

"I have been taking Zometa for Breast Cancer with Metastasis to the bones and have been on it 8 months now and I have only had minor aches and pains... no major complications from the drug."


"This is an update of my use of Seroquel. I have been on 800 mg./day for over a year now. My doctor had to keep increasing the dose due to stubborn anxiety/depression. My moods have calmed down a lot, not so many highs and lows. I do still see a therapist which helps with coping with life stresses and behavioral difficulties. I sleep a lot, between 8-10 hours nightly. I still take a small amount of Ambien just to help shut down the racing thoughts in my mind. I am having a hard time with my weight. I want to eat the wrong things all the time. I'm 15lbs. heavier now then I was before taking Seroquel, but the Wellbutrin I was on made me not want to eat ever again so I was way under weight, 125lbs. at 5"8' tall."


"Latuda so far has been the best medicine I've taken.  Geodon made me really shaky but not with Latuda.  I have not gained any weight, more focused, more energy.  I am able to complete my tasks throughout the day.  Overall I feel happy and don't find the need to want to lie around all day and watch T.V. I am very pleased with Latuda."


"I was suffering with anxiety with constant running thoughts and feeling overwhelmed. I did 1 on 1 counselling sessions then took the next step by trying medication. I've never been prescribed medication nor take any thing even if I have a headache. I was started on 25mg once a day and now have been on it for about 4 weeks. I must say this has been the one of the best choices I have ever made. I immediately felt relieved from anxious thoughts and stress . I am more calm and can think clearly without worrying. At first yes I experienced very moderate side effects like the blurred vision, light, fogginess but it takes time for your brain neurons to adjust. I would say after 4 days of taking it I felt fine. I finally have my life back !!!"


"Easy to use and once a week is great. Not many problems with it giving me too low blood sugar. The injector is easy to use and really not painful.

 I haven't been on it long, but I do think I eat less ( mild beneficial anorexia) and actually get a full feeling when eating ( I don't know about everyone else but I never feel full until I've eaten so much that I hurt). I'm looking forward to good A1c results ( my latest was 7.1) and maybe some weight loss too."


"I haven't had a YI in years but thanks to my partner (who didn't tell me he had symptoms) I felt one coming on with mild itching. I remember monistat from my younger years and decided that I better get it/take it instead of go the usual natural route.  Back in the day it would leak out and work starts on Monday so I paid the +- 20 bucks. Well I suppose they have fixed the leaking problem and added an ingredient that I along with many others must be allergic to. I had extreme itching last night and it was no picnic. I am still itching badly after 12 hours.  I am taking a probiotic and praying I don't end up with a worse YI or a bacterial infection.  I hope it goes away because the itch/burn I don't want to have to deal with at work"


"It works! It was really weird at first... make sure you are IN BED shortly after you take it or you will be subject to odd behavior/amnesia.
"


"My first experience was fine, no bleeding, no pregnancy but when I had a second implant put in place it was a horrible experience. In the beginning I had extremely bad pains and really heavy bleeding I couldn't do anything this carried on for a year with only a couple days break, my mood swings were constant and lost my appetite completely. I was so exhausted by this that I lost 2 stone and became anemic. I went to the Drs and found out that when I get it removed it would take my body about 7 months to go back to normal, although I never got pregnant I don't want to go through this experience again."


"I am so thrilled and relieved! 2-3 months ago I started having a reaction on the palms of my hands and it quickly turned into a red itchy rash with nasty flaky, scaly skin and I had no idea what it was. I shake hands with people frequently at work and all I think is if I saw a hand like that I wouldn't want to shake it!  I've tried all kinds of creams with no results.  Then 2 days ago I found this and the picture on the packaging looked like my hand so I bought it.  And you know what?.. Just 2 days later and I am seeing AMAZING results! Its not completely gone yet but it looks and feels so much better after just 2 days. I never do these reviews but I am so happy I just had to find a place to tell others!"


"I'm a 40yr old mother of 1, struggling with weight loss. In the beginning of the year, I entered a biggest loser challenge. From January to March I lost a total of 14lbs by diet and exercise. I started off and 214lbs and by march I was 200lbs. I did lots of cardio using a beachbody at home workout called "Cize" with Shaun T. Well I plateaud and got discouraged. I also started to go back to me old eating habits. Guess what I gained it all back by August. Weighing 213lbs

On August 29 I started phentermine 37.5. I take my pill at 5am and I'm currently down 5lbs in one week. I also  do at least 45 min cardio, drinks lots of water and watch my calorie in take. The side affects have also subsided. I can sleep now"


"I have used Bydureon for 2 years. It has been a God send. My A1C has went from 10 to 5.2. I watch my diet and exercise daily. Over the holidays I did eat more sweets than usual and my A1C was 5.8. So it has been a wonderful drug for me. I don't use insulin anymore. the only complaint I have is I get hot flashes like menopause. I am well over menopause by my hormone tests. I wonder if I am the only one with these hot flash symptoms? I call them my "Bydureon hot flashes""


"I have been on Victoza for four days now.  Have bad, bad headache and nausea.  I have to lay down. Nausea is close to morning sickness (if you ever been pregnant).  I am on the 0.62 with instruction to dial up after 5 days.   Thinking about waiting a week.  I wonder if the weight loss is due to the nausea, for I have noticed in the couple days I don't eat or have a lack of a appetite. DOES ANYONE TAKE ANYTHING FOR THE NAUSEA?"


"I've been on just about every antidepressant on the market and my doctor and I decided to try adjunct therapy with Seroquel to "boost" the effect of the Brintellix I take. I was really pleased to find it has a significant effect on my anxiety, which has always been a major component of my depression. While it didn't get rid of my depression, I feel better overall than I have in ages.

Downsides? It's expensive if you don't have good insurance. I get a 90-day supply for $80. It also will knock you the heck out. I have to take mine before 6 p.m. or I will have great difficulty in waking up (even with an alarm). It has a heavy sedating effect."


"For everyone who has experienced negative results from taking Belsomra  & from a well-experienced insomniac, I was advised by a very knowledgable pharmacist that in order for Belsomra to work properly & effectively (after having taken Ambien for many years), I was to stop taking Ambien & let it completely wash out of my system for 3-4 days before starting Belsomra.  She stated, that this medication, unlike Ambien, is not supposed to assist you in falling asleep, as so much as it works to help you stay asleep, however, it won't work as it should, if I don't have a break between medications. After reading all of the comments about Belsomra not working for so many people, I'm definitely intend on following the Pharmacists instructions to the letter."


"I was prescribed to take this twice a day for 7 days for bacterial vaginosis. I will never allow a doctor to prescribe me this ever again!! The taste comes from nightmares for starters, and good LORD the side effects are NOT worth it!! Constant nausea, dizziness, everything tastes like fecal matter, fevers, restlessness, overall weak and uncomfortable. This cannot be good for you. I didn't even have any side effects with the BV itself, It's this medication that has been making me feel like death!"


"I find that if I take the Ambien and go directly to bed it works very well.  If I take it and then delay going to bed by doing dishes or cleaning before bed I have unusual effects.  After sleeping for a very short period of time I will get up, go to the kitchen and make waffles.  This has happened a handful of times.  I'm always surprised to have my family thanking me for taking the trouble for making waffles.  Really no trouble since I don't remember any of it."


"I was diagnosed with IC in Feb 2015 after suffering a stressful period of my life. IC hit me out of nowhere. I struggled for months to find an answer to my pain. Sadly in the back of my mind I even considered suicide (bad thing to say I know) The pain was so bad and relentless that I even considered quitting my job. My urologist did a the bladder DMSO instill and it did nothing for me. I tried numerous anti spasm medications and I was urinating around 30 times per day. I could no longer go grocery shopping, ride in a car for long or eat out . My quality of life was fading very fast. My urologist suggested Elmiron. It cost me about 160$ a month but its worth every penny as i'm about 95% pain free. I also cut sugar from my diet."


"What a terrible product! I had been using Jublia for about a year. Not only did I NOT see obvious effect, instead one of my toe nails had severe ingrown condition. A year ago I had to undergo a surgery to cut off the problematic nail parts. After several months, unfortunately the ingrown condition has begun to come back, and it appears that I may need another surgery.

Overall a terrible experience - waste of time and resulting side effects! I am thinking about filing a complaint against"


"Has made me a very irritable person. Also causes weight gain."


"I have been using dulcolax for the past year daily. Religiously taking 2 every night before I go to bed around 11pm - 12 midnight. It’ll wake me up to do the number 2 at around 7-8ish depending how heavy I ate the previous day and it will continue through out the morning twice or trice but not painful as some experience here. But lately for the past 4 days I have been taking the same pills and it doesn’t work anymore. I don’t understand because I haven’t change my diet or medication. I even bought new one’s cause I thought the last batch that I have was kinda defective. I hope there is an explanation for this because I haven’t been comfortable since I couldn’t do the deed for quite a while now. Does anyone experience this too?"


"I was skeptical at first reading quite a few bad reviews about depression and suicidal thoughts but I had no choice, I couldn't take it anymore. The first few months on the small dose had little effect and little side effect so they increased my dosage and my acne, day by day, disappeared. Spot by spot. I used it for 6 months and I was done, it's been a year and I've not had one spot since. I got very bad dry skin and a little bit of depression whilst on the drug, that's now gone as well.

If you are thinking about this drug but are hesitating like I did, I say you go for it. It changed my life, without sounding clich"


"I suffer from Severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression, Panic Disorder . The comment above me was almost like a mirror image! I was so relieved to see that another person has been on every anti-depressant out there and none had really worked... For me however, all the anti-depressants I have been on in the past have actually caused an opposite effect than what they are meant to do. I would become even more depressed and even suicidal. I have Systemic Lupus, (among many other serious health issues) and in my case, the Lupus is very severe. It is pain, every waking moment. The Fetzima 40mg has helped a bit with that, it hasn't made me more depressed and I think I may even be feeling a bit more positive. So, all in all, I think it may be working : )"


"I only tried this when my insurance refused to allow Victoza anymore after two years of positive results.
My BS have been much higher, headaches, blurred vision and inability to concentrate. Driving has become hazardous for me. I am not using another dose."
