"I have been taking 14 units each morning for the past 3 weeks.  Week one not bad I think because of the transition from Lantus to Trebisa.  Week 2 started having highs in the morning with meals and then dropping low starting around 4pm.  Week three highs still in the morning and having to take triple Novolog (1 unit per 15 carbs) and then by 4 pm dropping to the 40's and 50's and having to drink up to 3 8oz glasses of OJ to level back out.  This week I am trying to split the dosage to 7 units in the morning and 7 at night.  That was a fail, I ran high all night.  With all these challenges Dr. switched me back to Lantus."


"I was skeptical at first but just after the first week I feel a huge difference. I have slight nausea, dry mouth and yawning but they are getting better. The world is a much better place now."


"Don't waste your money on this. All this product does is take away the pain. I got this as soon as i felt a cold sore coming and applied it religiously and it did nothing for me. On the 4th day of my outbreak someone told me to try "New Skin" its a type of liquid bandaid, got it at wallmart for 4$. Less than 12 hours after putting new skin on the outbreak has drastically gone down in size and the nasty scabs were gone. It just looked like a small burn."


"Long story short. I got it inserted march 2014. First yr went well besides anxiety, depression and mood swings. Right after the first year I started to get constant bv ( bacterial vaginosis). AFTER everything!!! And I couldn't figure it out. My face started to break out for MONTHS. I'm not really prone to acne. Did some research and seen others going through the same thing.. finally gotten it taken out October 2014 and I am relieved!!! I haven't had any bv since and my acne is clearing! No more depression, anxiety I'm back to normal! The good thing is it 100% protects you from pregnancy but I couldn't take the side effects. & not to mention when I first started I was 110lbs I'm now 129llb."

"I have been on this medicine for almost 2 months now. It has helped a little with anxiety but not as much as Clonazepam. I am now on 15mg of Saphris, 5mg in the morning and 10mg at night. It messes with my sleep, with agitation to the point where sometimes it hurts. It is also very expensive for someone without insurance of some kind. Also a trick I used for the horrible taste is Crystal Light powder by sprinkling it on my tongue when I take the medicine."


"I am twenty years old & started Finasteride about 2 1/2 weeks ago. I went to my dermatologist because I have thinning along my hairline and my main goal is to prevent it from getting worse and potentially regrow some. I rated it a 5 as of now because it's still too early to tell if this medication is working. Take my rating as neutral. My main point for writing a review as of now is to note that I have no noticeable side effects. My sex drive is the same, I don't feel fatigued, and so on. I am also using Minoxidil foam 2x per day. I have been consistent with Minoxidil for about 10 days now. I will update again in a couple months!"


"If you want to bleed constantly, heavily, and unexpectedly, this is a great pill for you! You also get the bonus of horrible bloating, quick and noticeable weight gain ( I gained 15 pounds in 2 months, and I have an excellent diet). I can't have sex with my boyfriend because I am ALWAYS bleeding. So I feel low self esteem because I can't be intimate with the man I love, which makes me feel insanely sexually frustrated.

This is a horrible birth control option. I took it at exactly 12 noon every day and never missed. I had a total mental breakdown this morning because I realized I have been bleeding for about a month and a half and I am fatter than I have ever been in my life."


"Horrible!!! Omg i bled for the first 4months nonstop! My iron got so low i was put on iron tablets and had to change my diet!

Ive put on almost 5kg since having it in for 7months even though i go to the gym up to 5 days a week and eat very very healthy.

Insertion was worse than childbirth and side effects like daily headaches and migraines, massive mood swings, feeling really angry and then sad."


"I have had nexplanon since 3/31/14 and it is a very effective birth control with little to many effects depending on the person. I have had some effects which are irregular menstrual cycles and weight gain which the doctor did say was very common. The first 3 months my period was 2 weeks long every month after that it went to 3 days a week for 2 more months. And from their I've had light spotting a few days out of the month and now I have no period due to nexplanon. I have also gained 20lbs. Also nexplanon has cleared up all of my acne with in the first 6 months of having it. Keep in mind this birth control lasts three years and it all depends on the person and the effects that will occur. Despite the effects it is very effective and safe."


"I've only been on Nexplanon for a couple of months. I switched over from the Depo shot, which made me gain excessive weight after having my son (whom I got pregnant with while on the pill). My reasons for switching were weight gain, mood swings, and loss of sex drive. Since I've switched, I have 180'd. I've lost 3 pounds in only 3 weeks, and my other issues also seem to be resolved and I have had no issues with spotting thus far. I could not be happier with what I've gotten, my one and only issue is that my arm seems to itch where it is. I can deal with that as long as I'm not dieting and gaining anymore. I know that this form of birth control affects every individual differently, but I do want to say, it works great for me!"


"Thay gave me Remeron in the hospital. I took it for two and half years. It worked wonders for me I have no luck at all with SSRI'S. My doctor told me usually people that have no luck with SSRI'S usually have good luck with tetracyclic antidepressants. The only drawback is I gained 85 Lbs, which needless to say did not help my self image. I'm considering Ludiomil (maprotiline)."


"Overall, the Bentyl works really good but at times, the spasms get to be to much that I take a prescription pain pill along with the Bentyl. Works great."


"It gave me cancer"


"This medicine is very effective, I use it regularly. I take two before bed with lots of water and usually wake up to a BM. Just make sure you don't leave the house. Last night I took two, and by 10am I still Hadn't had a BM, so just thought it had t worked. Got in the car with friends, started driving to the beach. Half hour in I got excruciating pains, doubled over in the car, nausea, no services so my friends had to pull over the car and watch me run to the side of the road, hoist up my dress, and make a huge mess at the side of the road. This happened four times on the journey before I was finally done. Never been so humiliated in all my life."


"I smoked for 35 years. Pack a day.  I never though I could quit.

I joined a smoking cessation workshop run by a doctor and social work from the HMO I belong to. They offered an 8-week workshop and 6-month prescription of Zyban at 20% the over-the-counter cost for the drug.

The first week of taking Zyban was accompanied by some side effects which I hated. (waking up early, nervous). I spoke to the workshop leaders and said I felt like quitting the drug due to the side effects. They told me to "hang on a few more days" and the side effects would disappear.

They were 100% correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy!!!!!!!!   I took Zyban for 5 months and then weaned off of it. I never have the urge for cigarettes."


"I started taking Seasonale 3 months ago as my previous birth control medication was no longer effective. I take it to regulate my periods as they never regulated on their own. Everything was going well (no pain or abnormal bleeding) until this past week when I got my period while taking the week of inactive pills. I have recently suffered 48 hours of intense breast pain and swelling (way worse than "tenderness") where the pain hits in waves and makes it nearly impossible to do anything. I am exhausted from being in this much pain. I have also experienced my left breast "leaking" for most of the day which is really uncomfortable.  My body now thinks it is pregnant which is something I should not have to deal with. Not taking this again."

"ultram is the only drug ive had that relieved my pain without side effects

i never require increase of dosage which suits me ...i dont want to be sleep

ly at work so its great for that too"


"I have been on Adipex for about 2 months. Started out at 262 pounds. At my 1 month check up I weighed 249 so I lost 13 pounds in the first month. It's a few days before my second check up and I weigh 239 pounds so I only lost 10 pounds this month. I feel stuck at my new weight.. So I need to change something about my exercise or my eating. I really feel like this medicine is great for anyone with a weight problem. Looking in the mirror I see a whole new person. I set my goal to high and I think that's what's causing me to feel like it isn't good enough. I had a friend who lost 80 pounds in 3 months on Adipex. So I guess it's about determination. So I'm back to the gym. I want to get down to 150 pounds. Where I haven't been in 7 years!"


"I started this drug about 4 weeks ago. Since I started it I have been vomiting and having diarrhea constantly. I am also more agitated and annoyed than usual, and I have been manic several times (I'm actually taking it for bipolar II, not MDD). It doesn't work as well as risperdal for controlling my mood and I can't keep anything down, but my psychiatrist thinks that's my birth control so I don't know that he'll be willing to switch me to another med. my mood swings have been a lot worse on this than on the risperdal which I wish I could have stayed on but it was messing with my prolactin levels. I almost killed myself 2 days ago and about 6 days ago I was extremely manic and spent $400 within a couple days. do not recommend for bp II."


Osteolytic Bone Lesions of Multiple Myeloma

"My mother was on this IV treatment for about 3yrs  when she was first diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. The only side effect at the time was nausea. 3yrs later she is now experiencing Osteonecrosis of the jaw due to this treatment. I guess my view on it is the treatment is it helped at the time to prevent any more lesions but now the bone in her jaw is dying and causing lots of pain. She just had surgery on her jaw to remove the dead bone and hopefully heal."


"I went to the ER on day two of shortness of breath, chest pains, fever, coughing, aches and pain all over my body. I was prescribed Tamiflu. I went home took it around 7 my fever dropped down from 100.7 to 98.6 in an hour. I had no more chills and was able to turn my heater off and felt a lot better. I did get very dizzy and felt light headed, but over all I do feel a lot better only after 1 pill!"


"I'm 53 years old and in good health but was finding that my erections were unreliable and would often be lost during foreplay before penetration. After three failures in a row I decided I had to do something. I take half of a 20mg Cialis and am ready to go in about 30 minutes. The erections are rock hard and I now have my confidence back knowing that they will not let me down. The pill is effective for about 2 days and I wake up with an erection next morning just like when I was in my 20's. I've been taking these for 9 months now with no side effects. Amazingly good medication. I wish I had got these years ago. They are expensive but by using half a pill which lasts all weekend it is well worth the cost."


"Efudex works great to eliminate actinic keratosis. I have used it before and unfortunately am using it again. It becomes VERY unsightly.. blotchy, swollen, very painful, etc, but it works."


"I have been dealing with general and situational anxiety disorder and panic attacks on and off since college.  Tried Paxil and Prozac. Paxil made me gain 20 lbs. and Prozac increased my anxiety.  Lexapro works.

My advice: Try taking Lexapro for at least one week. The first week you will feel tired, dizzy, and mildly nauseated. Those effects disappear very quickly.  Do start at 5mg and slowly increase to 10 or 20mg. Ask you doctor to supplement with Buspar XL which counteracts most Lexapro side effects and further helps control anxiety and panic attacks. I don't recommend using Lexapro without Buspar.  Anxiety/Panic will gradually disappear over two to four weeks.  Use Ativan or other Benzodiazapines sparingly until Lexapro is working."


"Let me start off by saying that I have a high pain tolerance. I have fractured bones, went through surgeries with out pain medicine (because I am allergic) and I have been in a car accident and nothing compares to the pain I had when I got my Skyla inserted. Before insertion I took a muscle relaxer and I wasn’t prescribed any numbing cream or cervics softener medication. I was on my period when she started and it felt like someone was stabbing me with a knife. After my mom was driving me home and I was hurting so much that I threw up and I remember telling my mom I rather be shot in the head than go through this ever again. The pain lasted about an hour but after that hour the pain magically disappeared and I haven’t had a problem since."


"I'm a 60 year-old male and active tennis player that is almost bone-on-bone in both knees. My orthopedist has recommended replacements. I opted to try Euflexxa. I had both knees injected in April of 2013 and again 7 months later. Both procedures have given me amazing relief. My doc lowered my expectations on the first round, so I didn't have high hopes. I was more that pleasantly surprised! Without these shots, I would be facing immediate surgery. I endorse Euflexxa highly. I did learn a trick: Ice your knee(s) 30 minutes BEFORE the injection! I had close to zero injection pain as a result. Also, ice afterwards to reduce inflammation. Good luck all..."


"I have a severe case of tennis elbow, so I tried acetaminophen, naprosyn, ibuprofen and none of them provided any relief.  Then my orthopedist prescribed Mobic....it's done wonders!!  I'm 42 years old, 5'7", and 180 pounds, and he prescribed 7.5mg.  The pain is almost entirely gone after only three days of taking the drug.  Taking Mobic has allowed me to sleep at night!"


"Interesting reading about the flu like symptoms after coming back from our holiday with a UTI. I started the pills on Monday and that night I had all the flu symptoms and it was horrible but never thought it was the antibiotics so thank you. I'm covered in a rash which isn't itchy thank goodness but wow it's everywhere. Only 5 days worth but it's working. Thanks for sharing."


"Used Nuva for two years from 18yrs old to 20 and it was a dream come true, only positive side effects if any, easy periods, and no pregnancies.
HOWEVER - after the 2.5 year mark I started having pain & sensitivity in my left leg only, bleeding/sensitive gums, and worst of all chronic yeast infections.
It all started happening out of nowhere so I went a while not thinking it could be Nuva. After many trials I took the thing out and now my gums, legs, and vagina are back in working condition.

I think NR has long term effects that aren't recognized yet. I had a great time with it for 2 years and suggested it to all my friends, but it really turned on me down the line.
 Luckily, you can just take the thing out and the hormones leave with it!"


"Took drug for post concussion syndrome migraines. Did NOT work. Also had constipation and dry mouth, it elongated my periods from 6 days to 9.5 days, and at 20mgs, this drug immediately gave me a strong, persistent neck spasm that has not gone away months after withdrawal. This drug CAN INDUCE DYSTONIA and torticollis and I believe if I were on it longer, I might have developed those conditions. I think that people who already experience fasciculations or muscle spasms are more at risk of developing these conditions because the drug made my muscles twitch a LOT. I was on 10 mg for 5 days, than on the 6th day I took 20mgs, and that's when the spasms began. I was on the drug for maybe 6 weeks."


"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 just had an tooth extraction #13, was prescribed Tylenol 3 and it barely worked. I've taken two within 6 hrs and nothing has happened. Instead I feel more pain and it's causing me a severe headache. Will go back to my oral surgeon to see if I can get something stronger. What a waste!!!"


"I posted when I first got skyla (almost 6 months ago April 27,2017) and wanted to share my experience. I spotted for a little over 3 months which wasn't fun since it was summer. Usually wore just a panty liner. My periods definitely are a lot longer close to 10-11 days but lighter than they used to be. My bf can feel the strings in certain positions but says it just feels like scratching. (He can suck it up since I'm the one who has it inside them). Other than that I've had a positive experience. I've been on the pill twice and gained significant weight both times. Haven't gained weight or had acne appear since getting skyla."


"I have been on Yasmin since I was 15.  My periods used to last 9-11 days, were heavy, and very painful.  I can remember my mom keeping me out of school due to this.  Not only was my cycle completely crazy, I had acne on my shoulders, upper back, and upper arms.  Being in high school, something like this can be traumatizing.  Anyway after almost 6 years, I have been acne free (maybe the occasional bump or 2) and 4-5 day easy periods!  I did gain weight...but who knows if it was because of the birth control...like the lady said before she gained in all the "right" places so I can't complain about that one.  I went up a whole up size! I plan on taking this until I decide to make a little one (another 4 years hopefully)."


"Extremely effective for dry countinuous cough."


"This is the best birth control, I never even notice it. It last for 3 years. And this is my second round, the removal and insertion was painless and simple."


"Hi I recently married my girlfriend after my wife of 39 years passed away I was able to have sex but my erections were not very good .my doctor gave me a 3 pill sample.it works very good for me"


"I know products work differently for different people but sweating profusely was ruining my life. My self confidence was lower than low and I wore black constantly  because within half an hour I would have massive wet stains. I never thought it would even be any different. A friend recommended Drysol and honestly after 1 use- I was cured!! Seriously- I used it only once (at a music festival at that!) and since then I DO NOT sweat from the pits anymore! (Very little anyway) it changed my life (sounds dramatic but true!) I would recommend this product over and over again. If you have a sweating problem- please try it!!"


"Im 17 and I started Yasmin 4 months ago as I broke out in acne and I also had PCOS. This is not good when you do modelling, I was devastated. The doctor also started me on antibiotics to give the pill a chance to kick in. I have mood swings but I think that's pretty normal for a teenager, haven't really changed in my weight, but the great thing is my acne has cleared up, I can go without makeup now. I still get pimple breakouts every now and then but that's also a normal teenage thing. The doctor wants to change me to a milder pill soon, but if I break out again I will be asking to go back on Yasmin>"


"My 7 year old son started Vyvanse about 3 weeks ago.  The first day he took a 30 mg dose which made him like a zombie all day and absolutely manic all night.  He literally stayed up all night and ran up and down the hall and talked incessantly.

At the end of my rope at 7 am I paged his doctor.  We lowered the dose to 15 mg.

He seemed initially to do better on the 15mg and was doing well in school.  He became more aggressive and started having OCD behaviors of constantly washing his hands (I counted 30 times in an hour) and crying and staying up all night.  Last night he stayed up until 4:30 am and I was at my wits end.

So today his doctor is switching him to another medication but we may try it in a combination."


"I started phentermine on 10/28 at 318 lbs. I was miserably depressed and my weight had spiraled out of control after getting married and having a baby. I had tried to lose and I found it nearly impossible. With phentermine, I have energy and my appetite is very controlled. I limit my carb intake and eat 1400 calories per day.  I work out 3-5 times per week and my endurance has greatly improved and there is a huge difference in the way I feel. I have lost 33 lbs in 7 weeks.  I expect to lose 10 lbs per month and I am very satisfied with that.  No side effects to speak of.  I am very happy my doctor prescribed this for me!"


"I began a 6 month course of lupron with add back therapy in January 2015. I was terrified from everything I've read online. I had none of the horrible side effects, some hot Vosges here and there, but nothing unmanageable. I am a 41 year old female with endometriosis. I was pain free for the entire six months and felt good. Everyone is different, but with so many negative comments about thus therapy flooding the Internet, I thought it might be helpful to add my 2 cents."


"I love Avelox.  Every winter, I am sick for months.  I spend thousands of dollars on doctor visits, blood tests, chest x-rays. We go through rounds and rounds of antibiotics.  I used to have great success with Augmentin, but it doesn't work anymore.  Levaquin did the job one year, but hasn't been effective since.

Last year, I combed the internet and found people like me that had success with Avelox.  After one dose, I was feeling better (after being sick for 3 months).  It completely knocked out the infection and I was back on my feet the very next day.  I've been sick for 3 weeks and took my first dose of Avelox yesterday.  I am already feeling better.  I am so thankful for this medication."


"My doctor switched me from Lipitor to Crestor because I was getting incredible leg pain and joint swelling.  The Crestor has performed equally as well without any of the uncomfortable side effects."


"I've been taking this pill for a little over 3 weeks now and it's absolutely terrible. Let me start off by saying I take it at the exact same time every single day and have never missed a pill so I am using it correctly. The second week in I began bleeding and have been for over 10 days now. Not just a little spotting but full out blood almost like a period And with cramps! My boyfriend noticed I'm moodier. I'm so emotional I can cry at any second over the smallest things and I get headaches all the time. The first week I took the pill I had no appetite and was sweating and hot every second. I know you are supposed to wait 3 months to let your body adjust to the birth control but it is not worth bleeding for over a week and the mood swings."


"I was very young and I would get a feeling of not being able to breathe so I would lay down breathe slowly and that was not helping me anymore so I was put on Xanax I didn't even have to take all that was perscribed that is how well it helped"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"1st time caller here. The taste was not what I expected. Everyone I talked to told me that  its gonna taste horrible. With much anticipation and hesitation, I took the drink around 6pm, and to my surprise, it wasn't half bad. I could even see mixing it with some rum and it might make quite the drink. I didn't do that, but it was just a thought. Anyways, it kicked in around  640 pm and its now 8PM and I'm still on the pooper. I've just been reading and surfing on the net and its now seeming to slow down...This stuff sure cleans you out. I didn't eat all day except for some water and chicken broth. Works good! Wish me luck tomorrow on my procedure. God bless you all!"


"Terrible diarrhea. Very bad stomach pains."


"I just started taking this.I have severe stress and anxiety. My son has disabilities, G-tube, needs a lot of help. I find I am just exhausted on a daily basis. I would literally rub my hands till they bled and crack open because I was so over stressed about my boy. He is so sweet I found my self crying over littlest thing that would go wrong at school or at the playground. Now I can go and enjoy myself without the worry 24/7. My hands are slowly getting better with help of UVB Light Therapy but the meds are a MUST. I used to love to knit But I had to stop because they were so painful! Now I can go for walks with out huffing and puffing.I hope with the help of my Doctor that I can find balance and peace without yelling at my boy or husband."


"This is my first ever birth control, when I first started I had lots of cramping but nothing I wasn't used to before taking it. So I took some advil and continued using this birth control. Periods are a lot lighter, first one was really heavy, but second one was light and lasted only a couple days. Haven't had any other negative symptoms that are over the top or causing me stress or pain, overall I think its great and haven't gotten pregnant yet."


"I have been on this pill for a few weeks, and it has caused me to cry constantly! I feel depressed ALL THE TIME, and I have no appetite. So, this pill isn't for me."


"I'm 19 years old and suffered with depression since I was 11. Everyday was a constant heavy fog. Those who had/have depression will know what I mean. Finally, I saw a psychiatrist at my college, and she prescribed 300 MG of Wellbutrin. After around 8 weeks, I could honestly say that the depression was gone - that was a very good day.

I have experienced no side effects except a slight appetite loss, but that hasn't interfered with my health.

"


"I am not gonna say its bad about a hour after using it I did have a burning sensation and it did get to point where I sat in front of my fan with my legs spread open  which  did help. This morning I have burning no itching and no YI I couldn't be happier all I can say ladies is get through the pain if you want rid of you YI."


"I had a spinal fusion on July 2015 n have had extreme nerve issues since then n numbness on my left side.  I have been on everything woth no relief.  Tried Baclofen 10 ml 3x day. Had some pain relief 1st day..since then nothing but very sleepy.  Why would work on 1st day then nothing??"


"I am 28 year old male that did not like the lines on my forehead. A doctor recommended Botox Cosmetic. I am going on 3 months and can still visibly see the results."

"I work the night shift 8pm-8am, and would often literally stay awake for 2-3 days at a time. I had tried everything which either didnt get me to sleep at all, or would make me feel groggy and sluggish upon waking. My doctor reccomended I try Valium 10mg when i get home from work, and from day one I have been able to sleep 6-8 hours and wake up feeling refreshed, not groggy. I literally cried that first good sleep I got, after 6 months of severe insomnia, something finally worked!"

"This medicine is as effective as Provigil or Modafanil but side effect of loose stool and diarrhea is not tolerable but Medicare leaves me no other option.I do not understand because all 3 drugs priced similar amount.Running to washroom constantly is this drugs worst side effect.My bodies G.I. tract is still not adjusting at 3 weeks."


"Sadly, oral Zofran (or at least the generic of it) was not enough to combat my nausea while on GDP. However intravenous zofran along with hydration did help."


"Don't buy!!! Just don't buy!!!

I believed I have a yeast infection as I have some itchiness and some discharge (nothing crazy) so I purchased this product. I inserted this just as you are supposed to and within 10 mins my vagina was burning, at first I thought it would go away after awhile but it got WORSE! After 20 mins I went upstairs and got a wet towel and placed it on my vagina hoping it would work. 40 minutes later and I am now crying in extreme pain as if my vagina is on fire. Another 30 minutes goes by and I cannot stand the burning and itching anymore and drove to emergency. The doctor ended up giving me a steroid shot to help with the pain and some cream that ACTUALLY works. DO NOT USE !!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"Diphenhydramine definitely calms down my muscles and helps with any antipsychotic induced akathesia at night. Great for sleep as well and helps me stay in bed in the mornings, but I'm able to get up early if I need to."


"I have done this Efudex treatment three times over a 20 year time span. It is a hideous process but it beats the alternatives! KNIVES cutting you up in particular. I use and recommend AQUAPHOR instead of the expensive prescribed cortisone cream for a quicker more effective healing process. I think EFUDEX is Great!"


"This birth-control is the worst! If you were OK with having consistent bleeding for over a month, then this is for you. If not, try something else because this is not worth it. I am now on week eight and still bleeding/spotting. I wish I would’ve read the reviews before starting this prescription. I hate it. If I could rate it a zero, I would."


"I had had yeast overgrowth for many years, brought about after using Nasalcort for a few years. I had a thick white/brown coating on my tongue that no scraping would help. I had vaginal yeast, itching and discharge. After only one bottle of 1 billion bacteria acidophilus, MY TONGUE IS PINK AGAIN! My vaginal itch is gone and the smelly discharge. No one is more surprised than me, I had previously taken Nystatin and Diflucan and they failed. I will keep taking it because I want to keep the yeast away, and it helps my digestion. I cannot say enough good things about this product. I look forward to taking it, it tastes great."


"I am on my 7th day at Pylera and so far everything is good. Yes I feel a little bit tired, had a few headaches especially in the midfrontal head and I had the metallic taste every morning; however, I've been eating better. I had some diarrhea the first days and now my stools are better. It is annoying to take 12 pills at day and be on top of schedules. I also take probiotic yogurt even though my gastroenterologist did not told me about it. I hope this works. !!"


"By far the best birth control pill I've taken.

Periods are super light and cramping is minimal to none. No weight gain or bloating.

Best part for me is my insurance covers it for free! This has never happened for me.

Biggest downsides I've experienced are spotting if you are off by a few hours from your normal time and my mood swings are been considerable.  I've found myself to be a little more irrational and emotional. I've had a lot of stress, so I'm not sure if it's a direct effect of the pill, since no one else seems to be having mood swings."


"I got skyla on January 5, 2016 & I was so happy I didn't have to worry about pregnancy again. The procedure only took my doctor a minute but the downfall is I've been bleeding every since & that sucks when you wanna have intercourse. But I recommend this birth control highly."


"I was taking Solodyn for about a week and a half. My acne was very moderate and it cleared up pretty quickly after taking Solodyn. But it caused a very severe yeast infection and caused me to have nose bleeds."


"Worked great at first.  Went to the doctor after a month and he checked my blood pressure,  which incidentally had always been good,  to find it sky high.   Immediately came off them and 10 days later, my blood pressure is still bad and I'm terrified of potential illness due to that. Wish I'd never taken it and hope to God that these side effects are not long lasting."


"Humira has been amazing in treating my severe Crohn's. I used to suffer almost every time I'd eaten 7 days/week or unprovoked but now it's gone down to only once or twice. The only reason I'd rate it 9 instead of ten is because the initial injection burns very badly (the medication, not the needle) and can interrupt my day for an hour or so. The pain is worth the long term result. I highly recommend going for it if the option has been made available to you. I have two family members who use it too, one for Crohn's and one for arthritis and it's given them great success as well :)"


"Bought this to relieve itching - and it actually created more itching. I don't get it."


"I have never been on any pill, my acne was getting really severe so my doctor suggested Tri-Cyclen Lo.  The first two months on Tri-Cyclen Lo made me get cystic breakouts and I was miserable.  I finally switched my birth control to Gianvi, this has been the best alternative to cleaning my skin.  I haven't had any negative side effects and my skin is finally clear! The only downside is the increase in appetite, I haven't gained any weight I live a healthy life style-eat clean and workout regularly.  But I'm constantly hungry! Besides that my skin looks its best that it has in years! Now I only need to get rid of my blemishes.  I would highly recommend Gianvi, your period is light, you don't experience nausea or mood swings."


"I am 51 yrs old with advanced Osteoarthritis in both hips, and on the surgery wait list to have THR.  Naproxen is quite amazing for me at controlling OA pain.  So far I only take it when I have upcoming situations where I will need to walk alot.  For these situations I'll take Naproxen 1-2 days in advance, 2 x 500mg tablet daily.  It makes a huge difference.  If I didn't worry about stomach or intestine damage I would take it continually.  Other days, I try to get by with low doses of ibuprofen."


"I started taking Adderall XR 12 days ago and I love it. I immediately started focusing better. I now feel great when I wake up knowing that I will be able to get things done that have been put off for so long. My memory and self esteem have improved dramatically. Only side effects I am experiencing are dry mouth and mild headaches."


"I was given samples by my gynecologist to treat menstrual migraines. My gynecologist told me that my migraines are the worst she's ever seen. Treximet is the best migraine treatment I have ever taken. Within 20 minutes (and only one pill), my headache is completely gone and it will not reoccur. I can continue doing whatever I was doing before the migraine kicked in. The only reason I didn't assign it a 10 was because I tend to get excessively thirsty along with a dry mouth but nothing compared to those horrible migraines. Completely worth it."


"This is a great medicine. The first 2 days I felt ill on it nausea mainly and I find sleeping incredibly difficult but don't mind so much as I don't feel bad for it the next day. It's also making me dream a lot but overall I feel great and have much more of a will power to do everything. I started on 18mg and on Friday I go up to 36mg so see how they go."


"I just started taking this and it works. I have been taking hydrocodone with codeine 10mg for a few months and had horrible constipation. Miralax  and other products didn't work. Yes, with Movantik it can be uncomfortable... but I never had any of the other issues. I did get a little dizzy, but nothing serious that would send me to the ER."


"I have been on many different forms of birth control and this has been the best. I'm 33 years of age and I've been on this a little over a year. At first I had experienced a heavy period on and off the first year but starting January 2016 it became lighter and lighter to now I dont have one.  Ive taken the depo shot as well as other birth control pills and this tops them all. I have very bad acne but since on this birth control little to no breakouts at all.  I love it!!!!!!"


"I like zyrtec but I seem to have a strange metallic taste in my mouth. I can't find this listed as a side effect?"


"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!"


"This medication has been very effective for me. No major side effects to mention. I think the only negative thing is that it's a larger pill."


"I was very scared to get this inserted but knew this was my only option because it had no hormones in it. My doctor was very patient and didn't rush anything, she got it in and I didn't feel any pain or discomfort during the process. After it was complete I did have some cramping in my abdomen and got the dizzy spells. Ibuprofen took care of the cramping and as for the dizzy spells, that lasted about 4-5 hours. The next day I has some mild cramping again but the ibuprofen took care of that again, and I didn't get dizzy. I am going on my 2nd week and the only thing that I have experienced is spotting and some gooey discharge every now and then (I don't know if this is normal, but I got to check into this). Other than this I am satisfied so far."


"After my second child I decided to use the Mirena. I have been using the Mirena since 2005! The insertion was not painful. A little cramping about a day after but that was it. I would occasionally get spotting a few weeks after insertion but nothing heavy. Haven't had a cycle in years. I had the Mirena replaced in 2010 with no problems. The Mirena is a great choice for birth control. "


"Absolutely brilliant.  I only asked the doctor for a break from heavy periods for my 2 week summer holiday.  She suggested that long term I should consider the Mirena.  It has changed my life.  I had it inserted in August and have had very light one day periods every month since.  No cramping or flooding, no headache beforehand and still regular.  I did notice swollen breasts for a few months but this has settled.  Am 39 now and wish I had found out about Mirena ages ago."


"I am soon to be 49 and I was feeling so bad, hotflashes, 30 pounds of weight gain in 2 yrs, insomnia, foggy brain and a very large appetite, to name a few right but saw a doctor (alternative) and he did blood work and found my testosterone was so low and my progestin. So I now take a small dose of testosterone cream and 200 mg of natural progestin and can I tell you I feel like I did in my 30's. Use progestin at night, testosterone in the morning. I have lost 12 pds in about 40 days and it continues to fall off. Sleeping like a baby, no hot flashes and I think more clearly and my memory is awesome too.  I do take a lot of supplements that work with the hormones. "


"It has literally made me who I am. If I didn't take it I wouldn't focus, I wouldn't pass school. It helps a lot."


"I've been on 50mg twice a day for two weeks. Started on 50mg once a day. My seizures are only once a year, but my last one was so severe, my neurologist said it was time to treat. I also suffer from chronic migraines, so this medicine is serving a dual purpose for me.

I was reluctant to start this medicine, as I've read about all the terrible side effects. For ME, the side effects have been minimal. The biggest side effect I have experienced is fatigue, but it is nothing I can't manage. From time to time, I feel a pins and needles sensation in my feet/toes, but it's nothing more than annoying. Sometimes, I feel a little "brain fog," but that seemed to diminish after the first two to three weeks."


"It literally kept me up from 9 PM until 9 AM I couldn't sleep at all"


"Takes care of my chronic knee pain. Due to cancer, I am not a candidate for a replacement at this time, though I am need of them. Tramadol keeps me from suffering. I usually take 2 daily, prescription is for 4 daily. I up it to three if I have a day where I am very active. Everything has side effects and I can live with Tramadol. I like that I can drive and go to work while taking it."


"Great. Changed my life for the better"


"The Seroquel makes me feel like I'm dreaming. I kind of feel like I'm losing my sense of reality. The dreams/nightmares I have seem lucid like I can't tell the difference between  what I dreamt and what really happened. It is just completely changing my personality. I don't feel like myself anymore."


"I was given 56 pills to take every 6 hours for 14 days (in addition to Clindamycin) for severe tonsillitis.  I'm a third year medical student who will never take for granted prescribing this medicine again.  I'm not sure if it works (this is day 3 and my tonsil is still huge, pus-filled, and incredibly painful) but I feel like I'm experiencing every side effect except the diarrhea.  I'm absolutely hating how I feel right now and just wanted to sound off - to try and release some of this frustration."


"Took two pills two hours ago and have been fighting nausea. Happens every time I take them but part of doctor recommended prep."


Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

"I took this for undiagnosed non specific mixed connective tissue myalgia type issues and it made the roof of my mouth and teeth ache. I stopped and the ache went away. I restarted and the ache came back after a couple of days. Went like this back and forth and it was definitely the medicine. Also I started to feel worse while taking it. It could be that the weather is getting colder and that always makes me feel worse. but we decided I couldn't tolerate an increase in dosage which was what would have been next on the treatment plan so we moved on to something else. Still searching."


"I have used this pill for a short time. The doctor told me to take it at night, that was a bad move. I couldn't sleep at all then during the day I felt as if I was high. Didnt like the feeling. So my doctor switched me to Pristiq hopefully it will work for me."


"I was on Gianvi for about five years with minimal issues until I developed bilateral pulmonary embolisms (blood clots in my lungs).  The only thing that the doctors could find as to why I developed the blood clots was my birth control pill (Gianvi).  After doing some research after the fact, I discovered that the hormone used in Gianvi, drospirenone, makes you more likely to develop blood clots as compared to other birth control pills that do no have drospirenone.  I would have not taken this pill had I known that I had a higher chance of developing potentially deadly blood clots."


"Nothing noticed during loading, once I got to 150 mg I felt absolutely fantastic, I have tried many other medicines. This one seems to have the least side effects for me and makes me feel like a "normal" functioning human."


"I have pregnancies characterized by extremely severe hyperemesis gravidarum. I spend most of my pregnancy nil by mouth in the hospital and then get a picc line. They gave me Reglan and let me tell you. It made me severely depressed and suicidal. It did not touch my nvp either. The combination of a very adverse reaction to this medicine and malnutrition caused me to terminate my wanted and planned pregnancy. I have dealt with severe hg before and have a 2yo. I did not realize this medicine caused this until recently I was given it before a surgical procedure. It made me out of my mind! I felt like jumping out of my skin. I tried to rip out my IV and leave the hospital! They said it's a common reaction to reglan! Why wasn't I warned?!"


"After dealing with acne for my entire life I finally took my doctors advice and started Accutane. I was a little skeptical at first because of all the side effects but every other cream/oral medication had failed. The first month I didn't see much of a difference so then he upped my dosage from 20mg to 30mg. The second month I was completely clear and he put me on 40mg the third month my face was terrible it was like I wasn't even taking Accutane but that only lasted like 2 weeks and then I went up to 80mg a day and wow did it work. I am currently on month 7 and my face has never looked better. I don't have to wear any makeup before I go out and I feel 100% confident. The chapped lips are bad but I use Dr. Dans hydrocortisone chapstick."


"I have been on Sprintec for a month and a half so far.  Let me say that I have tried over 15 kinds of birth control in the last 10 years and usually have horrible side effects.  So far, I have had none from Sprintec.  In fact, even though I have severe endometriosis, I was put on Sprintec due to untreatable acne and oily skin which had developed only in the last year.  After being on Sprintec for 2 weeks only, my skin had cleared up.  I had been seeing 2 dermatologists for the last year who tried many different medications and nothing worked to clear up the acne!  Also, I had been a little depressed (also due to some hormone sensitivity) for the last couple of months and that has cleared up very quickly as well.  So far, so good!"


"I have been using Implanon since November of 2010. So I've only had it for 5 months or so. At first, I LOVED it. Anyway, the past couple months I have been on edge and moody. It's ruining my relationship and social life. I try to keep cool, but anything can set me off. I've become jealous in my relationship when I never would have been before. I am getting the implant removed."


"I started taking Zoloft about a month ago, in the first week i had some diarrhea and experienced some insomnia, but it soon disappeared. Within three weeks my depression and anxiety subsided. This medication changed my life."


"My 81 yr old father took 2 pills of Livalo. He stopped it because he was in pain right away. He still complains of pain and it has been at least a year since taking it. He is off all statins because he reacts to them. "


"I spent almost 2 years on alesse 28. My first couple months were okay. I experienced severe nausea and gained 10 pounds but lost them shortly after. I took Alesse routinely at 10 pm. My first month on it I woke up with sweats, seeing "stars" and started vomiting. I assumed it was a bug until it happened the following week again. My doctor told me to give it 3 months so I did. This continued about once every 1-2 months at the same time during the night. I began living with gravol in my back pocket until I had enough. I came off alesse and have not had any midnight "episodes" and feel so much better. It was effective in preventing pregnancy although I always use backup methods anyways. My periods were short and light & minor cramps"


"Have felt better especially when dosage increased to 180 mg pills once a day. They appear to give me a better appetite."


"I am a retired physician who during the course of his practice treated many patients with severe anorexia secondary to HIV/AIDS as well as near end stage malignancies. For many years I prescribed Periactin starting with the 2mgm dose 1/2 to one hour before meal time. Many patients reported a robust weight gain. The hypersomnolence (excessive sleepiness) disappeared after one to three months. The Periactin can be reduced to one 2mgm every third day and the weight usually is maintained at good if not optimal levels. "


"My husband has been now been taking Lisinopril right at 1 month, add a few days to that. The last week I noticed him complaining and dealing with some pretty rough heartburn, which just in the last 3 days has increased dramatically. He isn't one to complain about anything medical related but this has. He also has had more episodes of feeling bloated without any visible distention I could see or noticed. It's a heavy feeling that just sits there (upper middle abdomen) Well tonight or rather about 4 hours ago he had the same discomfort in upper abdomen with tenderness, bloated feeling, increase in burping, diarrhea, nausea that later progressed to vomiting. He threw up bile/green color. Can't lay down."


"Works great, little side effects. I will get a little stomach upset if I don't take with food, which you should do. I am not sure why the reviews are bad unless you are allergic. My UTI symptoms start to disappear with one pill. Fast relief."


"I started using Adipex March 08 weighing in at 332lbs. As of September 08 now 284lbs. Lost 48lbs in 6 months. At first had a little trouble going to sleep but that went away after a coule of weeks. I think that the pill is totally worth it. Now I have REALLY picked up my exercise routine and I am now very cautious about what I eat. Very little starch at all. Exercise consists of 3-4 miles on treadmill at 6-7 mph then 30-45 minutes in a sauna EVERY DAY. I would suggest taking the pill for 2-3 weeks then laying off for a week. This is what has worked for me."


"Another update.  Have been on Belviq for about 9 months now.  I have lost about 25 pounds.  Zero side effects.  I am at a weight that I haven't seen in about 20 years.  This is the first time I have been able to control what and how much I eat.  It also seems to be much easier to burn off the fat with exercise."


"The olanzapine works for me. I sleep at night and my thoughts rarely race now. And it is so wonderful not to feel depressed. If it wasn't for the weight gain, I would give it a ten."


"Januvia side effects include crippling, debilitating pain, and swelling. Dad's been taking it since March 2015,  and by August could barely walk.  He had joint swelling, and excruciating pain.  Doctor after doctor visit.  No clue! Called me,  his daughter,  RN BSN, and we returned to the doctor wanting to know why he didn't know more about this drugs side effects. NONE OF THEM DO! A friend veteran, same thing.  Could hardly Stanfield the pain,  talking about swollen and angioedema. They even ran heart tests! It was the Januvia,  and my dad, and the vet, taken off Januvia have completely recovered. The veteran had even been referred to a rheumatologist. My dad is now taking chromium type supplements, and watching his carbs. Doing very well."


"Took Delsym 12 hour cough and after about 2 hours got terrible stomach pains and diarrhea. It wasn't very good at suppressing my cough either! Be warned, I would never take it again!"


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"This makes me dizzy and weak for several hours after taking even though I drink lots of water and ate crackers."


"I have been on opioids for 20 years at least.  So constipation kind of rules my life. I too ended up in emergency twice, but all they did was give me an enema which never works for me. I saw a Movantik add on tv, so I asked my Dr. if I should try it. He agreed and wrote me a prescription. When I got home I took one, and it had no effect at all. Just nothing. So I decided to check the reviews on this drug and people have had just too many problems with pain , cramps, all sorts of awful things. Since it didn't work, I felt lucky. I don't want to go through the pain."


"I have RLS and insomnia. I don't want to use an addictive medication for sleep. Unisom has thus far been very helpful. I start feeling the effects after about 30-45 minutes. Also I try not to take it every day. 1 every few days. I needed it and I'm happy with the results."


"I have had Implanon for over a year and the side effects have been going on for that long.  My hair is falling out I have the worst anxiety and mood swings and have gained over 30lbs since on it, no amount of exercise and diet can help.  I have an appointment in 3 weeks to have it removed because of the side effects."


"My derm gave this to me on a whim, as a sample at my last visit.  The nurse PA said her mom used it and it worked great........how many times have I hear that.   I have to say this stuff is FANTASTIC.  Not only have I not had any more cysts to form, it seems to have evened out my skin tone and texture.  I was very surprised at the results.  I have been using it for about 4 weeks......and I have three small pimples......PIMPLES....not cysts that are what "normal people" would get.  I have been very pleased and I keep thinking it will fail.......so far so good.  I would definitely recommend Soolantra"


"If you're suffering, you need to fix you! This medication is the most important thing to ever happen in my life. I went from a nervous, neurotic, obsessional wreck, to calm, cool and in-control dude - and I only take 5-10 mg (I'm 6' 4"). Over the last seven years, I've taken it on average 1-2 months out of the year - only when needed and never more than 6-8 weeks. I prefer not to be on anything, but when my health and business decline because of my mood, I immediately break the safety glass and reach for the Lexapro. And if for some reason Lexapro doesn't work for you, work with your doctor to find the right medicine so you can feel better. (I've tried 6 different medicines, we all have different chemistries - never give up."


"It has the desired effect of stopping the itching in the night, but I cannot stay awake the following day. The drowsiness is almost impossible for me to cope with during the working week. I'm literally falling asleep at work (and I'm only taking half the dose)."


"I started taking Ambien for insomnia about a month ago. It works great if I am able to take it early enough to get in 8 hours of sleep...however...I also take Wellbutrin and apparently they do not work well together. I have been sleep eating, sundaes, brownies, yogurt, sandwiches. I also cook and leave the mess behind and don't remember ANY OF IT. I colored my hair with two colors, and gave myself the worst haircut I've ever had in my life and was totally shocked the next morning when I saw the bright pink color in my hair and awful short bangs and uneven length. I had a conversation with my daughter and gave her permission to spend the night out which I would NOT have done in my right mind and she made me write it down for proof!"


"I was prescribed this medicine at 500 milligrams twice daily. At first my infection seem to get better the pain decreased. I noticed some shortness of breath within the first couple of days by the third and fourth day taking this medication I had muscle aches over my entire body, joint pain, would wake up in the middle of the night with a severe dry mouth, headaches and a bad rash that was extremely itchy and benadryl would not relieve. Now on my fifth day I have decided to discontinue this product because the muscle pain and itching or for worse than the infection is treating. I believe this is possibly a good medication however I believe maybe I should have been given smaller dose."


"This medicine has helped about 95% with my depression and about 75% with my moods I have been on it for about 3 months now I go through periods where I am so happy and so in love with my husband very high libido (feelings I have always struggled to have) But there has been about 2 weeks during this 3 months that I go back to being irritable and moody and wanna smack my husband for everything that comes out of his mouth. So being on these medicine and being Bipolar maybe I'll never be 100% normal."


"I Have been taking Levaquin for 3 days for bronchitis.  Having difficulty sleeping and have no appetite, along with headache and a persistent fever.  Pharmacist never told me to take the medicine with a full 8 oz glass of water.  Might have been good to know.  So far, still have bronchitis, coughing up mucus and needing an inhaler.  I have never used an antibiotic that after 3 days I remain ill.  Jury is out however, as I may be better...soon I hope."


"I'm 60, and had one previous colonoscopy over ten years ago. I don't remember how unpleasant the prep solution was, but it was taken in one dose, not over two days, as is more generally done now. I chilled my water and the suprep over night. It took me about ten minutes to get it all down. Nasty stuff! I just kept chugging it as quickly as I could. I stopped to take sips of iced tea whenever it became nauseating. Once you get it down, the rest is a breeze. You will want to drink the next 32 ounces of water, just to get that taste out of your mouth. All in all, it could have been much worse. Just do it!"


"Used for post op surgery due to a history of nausea and vomiting. THE BEST recovery room experience. I took it off the next morning because I think, combined with the pain medication I was extremely dizzy/headache. I have never been seasick but I would recommend it for surgery."


"I had to stop after 10 days due to a rash all over my body. Hope after it goes away I can start on it again and use 2 a day instead of 4. I am on 2 Prevacid and 2 Zantac also. It worked great and for a week I was in heaven."


"The first few days while taking Wellbutrin,which is not really recommended for anxiety but doc recommended giving it a try, were not too bad.  Around week 2 I began to notice I was miserable, angry all the time, and just not feeling like  myself!  I am usually a happy person that laughs alot and enjoys making others laugh!  Wellbutrin changed all that!  I was now a bitter and angry person that found fault with everything!  I wasn't sleeping well, had slight headaches everyday and my head felt cloudy and foggy all the time!  I wasn't able to concentrate which made it difficult for me to function properly at work. I was no longer the happy,silly person I used to be!  This drug totally changed my personality!"


"I suffered a bilateral subarachnoid brain hemorrhage and am happy to be alive.  However, one of many hurtles left behind for me to deal with was laughing at inappropriate times and crying at the drop of a hat. My brilliant Doctor, prescribed Nuedexta.  I have not had an outburst since taking the medicine and no side effects at all."


"The problem I ran into however was it's side effects.  I had to stop taking it as it affected my breathing to the point that I couldn't walk half a block without gasping for air.  To this day I still have respiratory problems after taking this."


"After working 12hr shift work for our local Police Department, when you come home, you have what I guess nervous energy.  I have tried other medicines. However
"Ambien allows a deep sound-ful sleep."


"I always knew I was different from everyone else. I was very quiet and shy. But in my mind I couldn't shut up. My mind was loud. In class I could never stop fidgeting, playing with my hair, scratching an itch, doodling on notebooks. I wondered why nobody else squirmed around like me. At 24 I was diagnosed with ADD. Adderall is life changing. I'm finally normal. I feel like everyone else. My mind is at ease. I am in charge of my thoughts. I can have genuine conversations with people without my mind wondering. I am finally happy after years of struggles. I am organized and more peaceful. "


"I have been unable to take antidepressants due their side effects. I had pretty much given up trying to feel "normal". I saw a new Dr. And she gave me viibryd samples.
I have little to no side effects except for occasional diarrhea. For the first time in a really long time, I feel good. I don't feel like a zombie, and I am able to get up and live.
I do take the medication earlier in the day because it can cause me to keep me awake. 3pm seems to work out well. I haven't gained weight on it, but I tend to bloat more if I eat poorly. I just wish I didn't have to go broke to function well."


"Along with narcolepsy, I've also been diagnosed with ADHD. I have been taking dexedrine for the last 4 years. At first it was 5mg tablets which worked for a couple months. As soon as my dose was increased to 10mg spansules a day, my life has been so much easier since then. I can actually concentrate on one thing without wanting to quit in the middle and take a nap. Many side effects including dry mouth almost every day, heart pounding, loss of appetite leading to weight loss, muscles twitching, and severe tiredness if I suddenly stop taking it."


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


"I've only been on Aviane for a month, and I absolutely hate it. I would not recommend this to anyone. I was taking Aubra before, but wanted to get out of Planned Parenthood. So I went to my family doctor, he gave me this. I have been depressed, have had bad mood swings, absolutely no sex drive, my breasts are very tender, and seem larger and I know I've gained weight. This will be my one and only month on it."


"Within a day in a half this medication has done wonders for me. All smiles."


"My age is upper 80s. My urologist prescribed Cialis 5 mg daily about 18 months ago. Amazing medicine. I still have erectile dysfunction and benign prostate hyperplasia but both have improved more with Cialis than Flomax and Proscar. Bathroom trips once per night usually. My penis stays somewhat engorged 24/7 and I am in a constant state of arousal and "sexual awareness". I don't get hard enough for penetration but my penis extremely sensitive."


"I am an adult male who had tried almost everything THREE dermatologists.  Some antibiotics would work briefly, retin a pretty much burned my skin in a couple days and we had to stop, liquid nitrogen was sprayed on my face every few weeks.. you name it, they tried it.

Then,  my current derm (10 years now) put me on accutane when we first met. Three 20mg a day for 6 months. Yes, I had drying of my LIPS but no other major side effects and my acne stopped. Yes, we have had some flare ups and we use accutane briefly to stop them and they stay stopped for years. It is really the only medication that slams the door on my acne.. even if not forever."


"While it helped me to sleep, I awoke feeling drowsiness most of the day. It was only 3 mg. I question if I will continue, because I cannot go to work drowsy."


"I am extremely happy with the Botox injections in the bladder. I have severe incontinence, overactive bladder before.  I have MS and my urologist explained I would have to self-cathe after the procedure. That's no big deal.  I cam wear real underwear again! Yay!"


"I started taking BCP years ago, and Aviane more recently in the past year or so for endometriosis/severe cramps while having my period. I am now pain free, so happy!"


"I started taking Yasmin about 6 months ago for extreme period pain which some doctors thought might be endometriosis. It worked alright for the first month or two. I was at least able to move. After the second month I noticed that I was always hungry and eating a lot of the time. "


"I'm reading a lot of bad reviews on here and I cannot relate to them at all. I've had nexplanon for almost a year now. I do have a period, that is a few days longer than my period was prior to nexplanon, but it is certainly nothing unbearable. I have not gotten pregnant and my mood is steady. I did gain a few pounds when I first got on nexplanon but they quickly dropped off as my body readjusted. I barely notice the implant is there. I'm very sorry for the ladies who have had a bad experience but I would definitely suggest this to anyone looking to be on birth control."


"I am 20 years old and never had a child or been pregnant, and I decided to go with Mirena after much thought. I was pretty nervous going into it, and I'm not going to lie, insertion was pretty painful. I would recommend taking that day off for anyone, but by the next day I felt better, and by the second day I was back to the gym. The first month was pretty much continuous bleeding, but I have now had Mirena for 4 months and I must say the pain of insertion and bleeding was worth it! I would definitely recommend sticking it out, considering that you can keep it for 5 years!"


"Was prescribed for a tooth extraction and it worked great. Never felt pain and this is the only narcotic analgesic that doesn't make me feel nauseated."


"I have lost about 30lbs, and gained muscles in the last 8 months while working out 3 days a week. The last 5 months I'm down about 20 inches also. I do have to take it by no later than 9am so that it doesn't affect my sleep. It's best to take this as soon as you wake up. If you take it later in the morning or noon it will mess with your sleep! The dry mouth issues went away for me around 3-4 months."


"Been on trinessa for 6 months because my insurance won't give me ortho tricyclen. I used to just go to the health dept and get ortho for free, I was on that 15 years and didn't have a single issue. Trinessa makes me bloated, irritable, depressed, sore swollen breasts, I cry a lot and I've gained 20  lbs!!!! No babies is the only plus."


"I have arthritis in my ankles, knees, sacroiliac area, and hip. I also have fibromyalgia. It hurts so much I can barely move. When ever I have pain, I use Voltaren Gel. This stuff is a lifesaver. It helps me regain my joint flexibility and I can move and walk around again. Also, I am not crying out in pain. My life was horrible before Voltaren Gel. Now, I have a normal life again and can manage my symptoms."


"The medication was quite effective in doing what it was supposed to do, but it was really hard to get down.  I tried several of the suggestions here and while they probably helped a little, it was still very, very difficult for me to drink this prep.  The first bottle was awful and the second bottle was even worse.  I did have some butterscotch hard candy that I sucked on in between gulps, which helped a little, but if I have to do it again I think I would try cinnamon candies because they have a much stronger taste.  Since I don't have to do this again for another 5 years, I am just hoping they come up with a better option by then.  Good luck to anyone else that needs to do this."


"I've been on this med for a year and it works wonders for me, gives me Energy And the drive to do things more, I've also lost weight and feels good..."


"I am on week 11 of 12. Almost done!

I have genotype 3a. I have only had hep c for two years, but it's been a rough two years. I already have stage two liver fibrosis, as well as fatty liver disease, not to mention my liver enzymes had consistently stayed in around 90 and 200. I learned that genotype 3 can be very aggressive.

Even though my doctor told me this medicine, should work great for me, I was still worried it wouldn't work for me.

The first couple of weeks taking epclusa I was more fatigued than usual, but that side effect subsided. I haven't really had any other side effects at all!

since 6 weeks in, my viral load is undetectable, and my liver enzymes are back to normal levels for the first time in 2 years!"


"A very dangerous medication. I was prescribed it for headaches. Many side effects were problems I was already having. I told my doctor about I, and so did my wife on many occasions. The doctor said keep taking it, the good out ways the bad. And if I don't take it. They will not try a new.medication,or see me again. So I tried it for 21 days. Hallucination, didn't no if I was awake or dreaming. Many bad things. Then out of know where. I shot myself under the chin. Some how I survived. After coming out of coma and many surgeries. I did more study on the medicine. I'm 46. In the testing of this drug. 31% of all males between 41 & 49 committed suicide on it. That's one in three males. All within the first 30 days. So I was failed by my the docs"


"I used this product and within 15 minutes was in extreme discomfort. So of course I googled it and found these reviews (as I sat on an ice pack). I got scared and thought I may be in pain all day. But after sitting on ice for about 1 hour, the pain was not there when I got off the ice. Hope that helps others."


"I don't recommend it. Stay away from this shoot."


"I was automatically switched to Tri Sprintec as the new preferred generic at my pharmacy (I was taking Trinessa). I have never had such awful migraines or nausea in my life. My fiance finally pushed me to call the pharmacy and get my old pill back. It's been a huge fiasco but I'd rather be off the pill than take Tri Sprintec any longer."


"I switched to this pill after taking progesterone only, and I almost immediately regretted it. I was moody and nasty, gained 10-15 pounds within the first two weeks of taking it, started to become depressed, and it completely reduced my sex drive. I also had mild acne before I started taking it, and it developed into cystic acne within a week, and didn’t clear up. I’ve been off it for over a month now, still have the cystic acne, but my mood and sex drive came back up. I hated what happened to me on it so much that I stopped taking it after the first month because to me, trying to finish the 3 mo trial wasn’t worth it. There are other options."


"I give this a 0 as with all other antidepressants because they don't relieve symptoms naturally.  I also had an extremely bad reaction with this one."


"Cardizem started taking yesterday 2-10-2016 making shakes like I have Parkinson's which I don't have. Did not sleep all night at all.  Feel bad  face flushed to point it was red. Taken 2 doses so far and may not take any more until I talk to heart Dr. That prescribe it. Check blood press it had gone up instead  of down.it was 196over70."


"Very effective for  diarrhea, besides it alleviates heartburn and stomach discomfort"


"My job has these little pills and I took a couple because of cramping. It helped a lot and with the swelling in my feet. What a great pill."


"In the past year, my peeing frequency has increased to 3-4 times a night (from 1-2 times). I began taking Urorec (4mg) two weeks ago, following a rectal ultrasound confirming an enlarged prostate (PSA 3.9).  In Europe, 30 days supply only costs $2.50!

I'm in my early 60's and this is the first time I've taken this type of medication. The Urorec has improved my urine flow/bladder emptying and I now get up only 1 or 2 times during the night.  I have experienced both anejaculation and reduced ejaculation and the sensation of orgasm is less intense and lasts less time, plus aching leg muscles. I intend to carry on ... perhaps exploring a 5 days on/2 days off routine to see if it improves orgasms/ejaculation"


"Honestly, I have been on 32 different medicines for bipolar disorder since I was a teenager. Only in the last few years have they realized the severity of mental illness in people. Lithium seems to be the saving grace so to speak. It has helped me feel like a real person."


"please be cautious before taking cymbalta.
I took cymbalta for 20 months, then decided to quit after changing my lifestyle. After discontinuing my perscription of 60mgs a day I endured brain zaps, insomnia, and eye pain for 3 weeks."


"This drug is so incredibly strong. I was prescribed 25 mg for anxiety. I tried it for the first time tonight and I felt the effects after an hour. It made me feel even more anxious because it was so strong and I was not expecting it to be like this. It feels like a really strong/weird high. I was having a little issues breathing and I was seriously considering going to the ER. If you have bad anxiety I would not recommend this drug. I did however pass out after 3 hours and I had the coolest dream! I just woke up after about 3 hours of sleep, even though the purpose was to keep me asleep. If you do take this drug, I recommend taking it at night because you will pass out and be extremely slow and sluggish.  I'm just happy to be alive!! :)"


"I am on prescription opiate pain medication which makes me constipated on a regular basis. I have tried every laxative on the market aside from enemas and this is the ONLY one that relieves me. Yes, I do experience cramping a few minutes before "its time to go"  but it definitely does its job every time."


"Took this medication for 4 months it didn't do much but help me sleep. I experienced lactation, enlarged breasts "went from a B cup to a Double D"  hunger to the point that I never felt full no matter what I ate, obsessive sweating, and the worst thing was that I gained 40lbs in 4 months. I was originally 130lbs and topped off at 170lbs and flushed the remaining medication and had zero withdrawals. Unfortunately this was 3 years ago and no matter what I do I can not lose more than 10lbs and I gain it back off and on. I am getting my thyroid tested to check if it caused it to be come inactive or under active. Because I have never weighed more than 135lbs even after having 3 Full term babies. This Medication should be removed from the market!!!"


"Hi, am 56 year old Fem, and have lost 26 lbs on WW within 7 months. I have been eating right & working out weekly but hit a plateau. With the holidays coming, I asked my Dr. as to what could help me keep my path.  He mention that Contrave is not a diet pill..WOW, I was ready, read up on it and started 2 days ago.  The only thing was I felt a little foggy and tired in the p.m., but it went way.  Did have some feaky dreams, but slept great.  I woke up with energy and have had no cravings. I get full quickly, and want to drink water all the time.. Feel great!  BTW, I did view some reviews and I was so scared about the side effects mentioned, BUT so glad I started Contrave since I know it's works different for everyone."


"I am 21, 5ft .5in female and I got to my heaviest point, weighing in at 155.2. I have never been more than 130. I tried weight watchers and I worked out for about 45-1hr every day and nothing was helping...anyway, I went to my dr and he said he felt I reached a plateau, where it was very hard for me to lose the weight. I was proscribed Adipex tablets on 11/17/15 and today, 12/1/15, I am down 11.2lbs. That is 11.2lbs in exactly 2 weeks!! After losing about 5lbs I felt so much better already. I have not had any horrible side effects. I have dry mouth if I don't drink much and I barely ever eat anything. I have to force myself to eat. Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about it. I definitely would recommend it! Will update in 2 weeks!"


"When first diagnosed went on metro for 10 days, 4x a day. Did not work.  Then given a 1 day dose of Tinidazole, and had immediate relief. Use Tinidazole  FIRST!"


"I've been on Victoza for 3 weeks. I started at 0.6 and increased every 7 days. I've lost 17 lbs thus far. Not eating much. I was nauseous in the beginning but it wears off.  I can't eat more then 1 cup of food without feeling miserably full. No desire to over eat at all.  So far so good.  Hoping I don't plateau.  I am still making good food choices and exercise regularly. Sugars were maintained on metformin b4 starting so I'm hoping to go off metformin by October.  Praying I don't get pancreatitis, gallbladder problems or worse."


"I take Flexeril for muscle spasm related to bulged discs at L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1.  I get sciatica down both legs.  I also have C6-C7 facet joint damage that catches and occasionally prevents me from turning my head to the left.  I am highly resistant to narcotics and anesthetics, and take 10mg Flexeril during the day without any side effects.  It allows me to function without letting the muscles lock up.  It stops the pain cycle (pain=muscle tension=pain=muscle tension).  When I take it at night, it quicly reduces the spasming.  If the pain is severe, I take with narcotics for one night to force massive relaxation.  This should be done with extreme caution tho - combining opiates and muscle relaxers can cause someone to stop breathing."


"I just started taking Dilaudid a short time ago. I have lived in misery for the last 12 years with lower and upper back pain. I have been on MS Contin. Vicodin, Lortab pill and liquid.  I recently hurt my back at work to the point that, I could not even drive. My doctor put me on Dilaudid and I have to say that it works well.  I feel for anyone who lives with chronic pain.  At least I can move and work. Maybe not as fast as I once was but, I still get the job done. Please don't give up there are other alternatives that may work for you."


"All I have to say is try it. Yo will be glad you did. I lost 30lbs in 30 days."


"This is for the insertion only.
Don't listen to the reviewers that say the insertion is excruciating. I read all the horror stories on the internet and waited to get the mirena for 2 years because of them.
I finally got it today and the pain wasn't as severe as I thought. It was some weird, intense cramps and uncomfortable pressure and stopped as soon as the doctor was finished and I've experienced NOTHING since. The sensation lasted for maybe 3 minutes total, I couldn't believe how quick the procedure was. Worrying about the pain was the worst part. I was able to sit up right away (no dizziness or nausea) and drive myself around running errands. I've had some minor spotting since but that's about it.
I'm 28 with no kids. I took 3 advil."


"I was prescribed this medication for breakthrough pain. It works better than the oxycodone and I rate it a 10. They would highly recommend this medication to people with severe pain to help with the breakthrough pain. This is Dilaudid which is a very effective medication post surgery."


"Significant side effects.  Headache, dizziness, nausea, chills. Only taking 15 mg.  Has caused me to miss work.  I am sleeping a full 8 hours now but the side effects are almost as bad for me as the insomnia."


"Absolutely effective. Had been having hot flashes for about 6 months and they were increasing not only in intensity but also in frequency. The final straw came when I was out with my daughter, 19, and she said 'your face is all sweaty.' Since I have started taking Venlafaxine, I can say the hot flashes have almost completely disappeared. I feel so much better. I do have a problem sleeping and am not sure if that is related to the medicine."


"This really hits the spot."


"ONLY pain medicine that I could/can take that does not have side effects.  I am sick it is no longer on the market.  "


"I received the Nexplanon about 4 months ago. I've had on and off bleeding and spotting for the past 3 months, sometimes heavy and sometimes brown spotting. No weight gain and more pimples than usual on my chest and back. I have experienced mood changes, somewhat of a depression and immense fatigue at times. Sex drive has decreased noticeably. I do not feel like myself. May consider removing it at 6 months if issues have not resolved and the doctor will allow it."


"First day worked fine, although will say my pee was neon...wasnt expecting that. Second day however,  tired all of the time with a killer headache that doesnt seem to go away and very cold and achey. Good that I can finally sleep after three nights of not being able to (great bank holiday that was) and pain went after the first two tablets were taken. This is the second time ive been on these, would definitely take again."


"This is the 3rd course of metronidazole I've taken in the last year for BV and I will never take this medication again!  The first 2 times I had the normal side effects of headache, fatigue and metallic taste.  This 3rd time has been an absolute nightmare! Around day 4 was when I started to get heart palpitations, flu-like symptoms, muscle aches, tiredness and chills.  I literally thought I was going to die a couple times.  I had to go to the ER because I almost passed out.  They did a full work-up with labs and an EKG and found nothing wrong.  I've stopped the medication 5 days ago and my symptoms are getting worse.  I'm not sure how long it will take for this medication to get out of my system, but I hope it is soon!"


"I've tried Prozac, Zoloft, Celexa and none of them worked well. They would work maybe a month and the depression crept back into my life. I started taking Viibryd and the recommendation of a doctor and trusted friend and my life has changed dramatically for the better. I don't have the wiped out feeling and my sex drive has stayed the same. This medicine has been a God send for me. I had to fight to get my insurance to cover it but it has so been worth it."


"Haven't had a UTI in probably more than 10 years.  Have recently been diagnosed with 2 in the last 3 months.  Had Macrobid both times.  The first time I ended up with fever and chills, but thought I was unlucky and had picked up a virus.  Symptoms went away by the end of the treatment.  When UTI came back, I was given the same medication.  Within 12 hours of taking the first does, my fever and chills became so bad that I almost went to urgent care.  Advil reduced the fever temporarily, but I won't take it again."


"Used Benicar for 6 weeks to see if I could tolerate it.  Doctor then prescribed Losartan - a generic from the same group of medicines.  Within a week of taking Losartan, I began to experience "fatigue" in my upper body with slight numbness in my arms, hands and fingers. Simple tasks like mowing and trimming my lawn wore me out and caused my upper body muscles to feel like I'd worked out for hours.  Some experience of jaw pain on my left side, ache in neck as well.  I've taken myself off this medicine for the weekend and will see if my Doctor can put me back on Atenolol/ Chlorothal, my previous blood pressure medicines (made me sensitive to sunlight but nothing as bad as Losartan)
Doctor seemed surprised by my side effects but reading this site among others shows I'm not alone."


"I am 41 with Crohn's disease causing my lack of vitamin absorb. I had my monthly entyvio infusion and right after my first reclast infusion just yesterday.  I was just fine until about 5 hours after when I started having diarrhea. It later turned into severe watery diarrhea shooting out into my Ostomy, chills, sweating, fever, aches, and weakness. I was told it may happen but was hoping not to me. If this helps me a few days of this is worth it and I will do it again. Like on Harry Potter "growing bones is a nasty business!" Lol"


"I started on Phentermine on June 7, 2016 at a weight of 235#. I am 5 feet 7.5 inches tall. The only side effects I have experienced are a dry mouth and increased energy (a good thing).  In the first three weeks I lost 15 pounds. Then the weight loss slowed a little. It took three weeks to lose the next ten pounds. My target weight is 180#, a loss of 55#, so I am about half way there. My plan is to take 90 days of Phentermine, then discontinue for 90 days to figure out how to sustain the weight loss without the help of an appetite suppressant. After 90 days I will resume taking Phentermine until I reach my target weight. I have never felt more optimistic about losing weight and keeping it off."


"I've been on Restasis for several years and have done well on it. My insurer stopped covering Restasis this year, but covers Xiidra. I'm not sure why since they're priced similarly. Restasis is actually a better value because it has .4 ml in every vial (I can stretch out a 90-day supply to 180 days) vs. Xiidra's .2 ml. I decided to try Xiidra. Right away, my eyes burned and itched and are extremely red. I've only been on it for 5 days. I don't know how long I can tolerate the Xiidra. I don't know if I should discontinue using the drops because I suspect I might be allergic to them, or will these side effects subside?"


"I was on Cymbalta about a year ago but when I found a job I wasn't able to make my monthly appointments due to being new and have a probationary period, so I stopped cold turkey and stayed very very dizzy but I was able to beat it and the dizziness went away. After losing my job my depression worsened very bad so I went back to my psychiatrist and got back on them. I got so bad I cried a lot while being alone, suicide thoughts, anger and hatred, lack of confidence. I sat in a recliner for 16 to 18 hours a day, but let me tell you something when I got back on Cymbalta 60mg I have done a complete turnaround. I have lost 40lbs, sex life is great now,  my confidence is through the roof. I smile and laugh instead of crying, no suicidal thoughts."


"I took this pill at the end of April, and went through an emotional rollercoaster. Me and my boyfriend always have unprotected sex (dumb right?) well, I got a very heavy, emotional and painful period about 10 days late. I recently took this pill, about 24 hours after sex. It was a week before my expected period, I recieved my period (I hope) 3 days late. It wasn't like my normal period but it was bleeding, so I'm happy. I've had really bad frequent urination so I have no idea what's causing that. I've experienced nausea and dizziness. Still worried, I'm going to take a few more pregnancy tests. But it seems like it's worked! Fingers crossed! I'm only 17!"


"I've been on lexapro for 4 days now, and I'm honestly feeling so much better. I read in some reviews that some of you guys experienced nausea, and I fortunately didn't. I just feel better. And I hope that as the time goes by my anxiety fades away even more."


"I have had Mirena for 1yr now, I had my doctor insert it after my six week check up, after having my baby. I never tried birth control before but thought it would never hurt to try. My experience with it so far has been very uncomfortable the insertion was horrible. I went into depression, mood swings and weight gain. My sex drive went completely out the window. I want to remove it but I just don't want to go through the same scenario with another Birth Control."


"I have had very painful Irritable Bowel Syndrome-Constipation for most of my life and have gone as long as three weeks without a bowel movement. It hasn't responded to changes in diet, exercise regimens, or fiber supplements. (In fact, the fiber made it much worse!) Other laxatives either don't work or wring me out for days. My doctor prescribed Miralax in 2008 and I have taken it daily ever since with no problem. I still don't go every day, but when I do go the stool is soft, and the motion is easy and painless. I expect to take Miralax forever, and have no problem doing so. It's a beneficial, versatile medication that's definitely worth a shot if you're battling constipation."


Amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / olmesartan

"I have been on this medicine for almost 2 months.
On the plus side it lowered my blood pressure effectively.  My readings are excellent!
Now the minuses.  I always feel lightheaded and dizzy.  My mouth feels dry and I keep feeling like I have to clear my throat.  Everyday around 2:45 I become extremely tired and nod off.  It is hard to fight through this. I constantly feel queasy.  5 days ago around the same time I started feeling extremely nauseous and began to sweat heavily.  When I stood up to go to the bathroom I felt dizzy to the point I strongly thought I was going to pass out.  My vision also became blurry.  I sat on the floor, then laid down.  Within 1 minute the feelings subsided.  I think this is the medicine doing this."


"I am new to birth control. I first took it when I was 19 and turn 20 shortly after. My first three months were hell. My nausea was terrible that I could not eat anything, engage in sexual activities without the urge of vomiting and be dizzy. My period was very off. My body was almost on a whole month of just my menstrual cycle. It was nasty. HOWEVER, I decided to stay on it because those side effects are normal. On my second pack (4-6 months) my ACNE CLEARED UP!!! Since I had gone through puberty at 11,and had acne since then and now my skin is like a baby again. My period is officially 2 weeks long (I begin spotting and gradually have a heavier flow). I have gained about 17 pounds but I think that's because I stopped exercising rigorously since graduating high school."


"I started phentermine right before thanksgiving.  I am 5"2' and starting weight was 184lbs.  It made me not hungry at all.  I constantly drank water and ate very lightly.  No insomnia first month.  I lost 17 pounds.  Second month I had to take 3 days off because of the insomnia.  If I feel I can't sleep I will skip a day or two.  Still only drinking water and eating lightly.  No exercise at all and today I weigh 156lbs.  Total loss of 28lbs in two months.  This month I plan to add exercise to drop more weight. Love Phentermine!"


"Please!!! just walk away from this pill, my breast are so tender I can't touch them, I stay nauseous and light headed and I've had my period now for 2 weeks. And I've only take them for 2 weeks. I stopped taking them I'm no longer nauseous and light headed but my period is still going strong. My breast are getting better, to many side effects for me. Oh yea and they make you eat A LOT!!!"


"I got mine inserted early January 2016.I've been constantly bleeding for two months since it's now March. I've read it takes about three to four months for you body to get used to it so I'm giving it a chance. The bleeding is extremely light so it's not too much of a pain.Other than the bleeding, I have not gained weight aside from my own doing by eating fast food & not working out. After starting to workout again, the weight is falling off so it's not due to the Nexplanon.I don't break out, get headaches, or mood swings aside from when it's time for my actual period.I've always had a high sex drive so it wasn't affected at all. I'm going to cal my doctor to see if I can take that "combined" pill to help the bleeding! I'd recommend!"


"When I originally took Microgestin 1/20 by Watson, it was amazing (particularly after the first couple of months of taking when my body got use to it). My breasts went up a cup size & there were little to no side effects. Lighter periods. No pregnancy. WIN!

THEN after almost two years, a dark cloud called Actavis became the new manufacturer and shattered my love for Microgestin. Something changed in the formula because I was suddenly sick during the first week of each new pack to the point that I'd throw up at times. Random cramping. Gained about a pd a week - not a deal breaker but still sucks. HEAVY exhausting 2-3 day periods. Two side effects worsened over time: melasma and mood swings. Needless to say, it's goodbye time. Beware!"


"Hydroxyzine is an oldie; but a keeper. It is more powerful than it's younger brother Zyrtec and lasts 24-36 hours. If taken at night, there is little chance of a 'hangover effect' or residual drowsiness. It is probably the safest and most effective sleep medication available; and you don't build a tolerance or addiction. As a HCL salt; check your liver and kidneys annually to make sure there are no ill affects which are rare."


"I found that Buspar helped quite a bit in allowing me to orgasm.  It was also quite useful in partially abating teeth grinding, which I get in relation to SSRIs."


"I Have been on this medication for 2+ years. I would not recommend a dosage higher than 37.5MG a day at 200lbs male. It keeps me awake and not having ADHD type symptoms throughout the day if i take it in the morning. I have tried Prozac and it only made my symptoms worse not better.

As a night person who had sleeping cycle problems from a young age."


"I've been taking this for a little over a month. I had some concerns at first because of all the side effects people have experienced, however I haven't had any problems yet.  The only thing I have experienced is a nauseous feeling, but nothing that really makes me lose my appetite."


"I found Tri-Previfem to be an effective contraceptive for my boyfriend and I; however, I have recently started getting sudden and severe headaches, and in some cases body aches. I can't leave my room or function when these happen so I usually just sleep. It's really hard being a college student who needs to get work done when I get sudden severe headaches.

On the bright side, I've noticed no weight gain and my skin cleared up. My periods also became regular."


"Works for me!"


"Helped with the endometriosis pain but had constant nausea and severe leg pain that was debilitating to the point of going to the ER. Could not rest my legs and was making me miserable."


"I started taking this about 2 weeks ago and I have yet to have a period while on it but so far, it's alright. I got sick about an hour after taking it. It also gave me a horrible yeast infection. But that all went away and now I'm back pretty much to my normal self. I will continue to keep using it"


"I get about 4 migraines/tension headaches per month and have since I was a kid. If caught early enough, I can make do with just caffeine pills and an aspirin, but when things get bad I'm reaching for my Excedrin migraine. I've timed it to 20-25 minutes to fully take effect, if it works. Sometimes, though, it is not quite strong enough and I have to use other methods to calm the pain (dark room, ear plugs, pressure points, etc). My migraines have no aura to speak of- just a little bit of wooziness as a warning-  and nausea is mild, so mainly concerned with the pain and accompanying sensitivity to light and sound. Excedrin helps with those at least."


"I am 20 years old and have been suffering with acne since I was 14. I tried EVERY topical lotions, antibiotics, and face washes you can think of and nothing worked on my stubborn skin. I was terrified of going on Accutane because of some bad reviews I read about it. After talking with my dermatologist, I decided to give Accutane a shot. Best decision of my life!! I am currently almost done with my third month and my skin feels so smooth and looks amazing. I have so much more confidence in myself and can go out without worrying about my skin looking horrible. The only side effects I have gotten so far are dry skin and very dry lips (I carry Chapstick with me 24/7!). Other than that, all I can say is Accutane is truly a miracle."


"Well I been on this medication since I was 9 to about 13 years on age and I was wondering was that a to long amount of years on medication I'm 19 now"


"My Dr wanted to change my prescription of ambien CR. And put me on belsomra. Didn't sleep for more than 10 minutes at a time, then couldn't tell if I was asleep or awake.  Probably the worst nights sleep I've ever not had.  On top of this, I also suffer from depression. If you do, DON'T take this drug. The next day all my work colleagues kept asking me why I was so sad.  I know you are supposed to take it for a few days.  I can't take that risk.  I'll just buy ambien if I have to.  I've been taking it for 10 plus years and have never had any side effects  just good night's sleep.  I can't believe how depressed I'm still feeling. "


"I was prescribed Levaquin for a sinus infection-on the up-side, the sinus infection is gone. But after taking the second dose, I started itching all over esp. my face "


"Never felt better or so fat. This is just the same as Abilify. That drug made me fat, too. I don't recommend this drug to anyone."


"Took it for six months and nothing cleared up and I had an especially red spot on my nose. I stopped taking the pill and the red spot went away. A few weeks later I started taking it again and the red spot came back. It doesn't work, only makes things worse"


"I've been using this product for about 2 weeks and I have seen a LITTLE difference. But it does take time, and my doctor said it would get better before it gets worse. I'm still holding out hope! My acne is pretty bad on my face. On my sides, my forehead, and my jawline. It is really bad. But I have faith in this product. Because my acne will not go away for anything! It is extremly stubborn. I'm 18 so that may be part of the problem. I got this free with my isurance otherwise it would have be $380!! So, it better work. Only problem is it drys out my skin so I'd recommend lotion!"


"Effexor helped me see the reality of my life when I couldn't. I took Zoloft for a while (up to 150mg) and I felt more numb than "happy". When I switched to a family doctor from my psychiatrist, they recommended Effexor XR; I've been taking 75 mg a day for the past four months and my life has done a complete 180. No depression, very little anxiety, and I finally have CONFIDENCE. I have more friends now than I ever did, a wonderful new relationship that I could never have foreseen myself happening, and I'm performing really well academically. Best decision of my life was taking Effexor- I can immediately see a difference in my thought processes when I forget to take it for two days at a time."


"I was one of those people who could not even wear a T-shirt because of excessive underarm sweat. I would wear sweaters all through summer, and the sweat even went through them. It was awful. After the first night of Drysol, boom, not a drop of sweat. Now, about 6 months later, I only need to use it once every couple of weeks. This thing is a miracle product, and well worth the itching of one night before you fall asleep."


"While I enjoy not having a period and knowing I am protected from pregnancy without having to take a pill everyday I am having my Mirena removed Thursday. I have only had it 6.5 months and in that time I have had a constant dull back pain, uncontrollable acne and I have also gained 25 pounds. Mirena is just not for me."


"I have suffered with right lower back pain for many years. I have taken Flexeril, Ibuprofen800, Percocet all of which dulled the pain or put me to sleep. My doctor put me on Naprelan and after two doses I am almost completely free of back pain."


"This was my third colonoscopy, but the first time I received propofol. I didn't experience any pain at the IV site, I drifted off to sleep immediately, and after approximately an hour in the recovery room I was discharged. Unlike the previous colonoscopies where I had to go home and "sleep it off", I felt fine and alert after this procedure.

Now for the bad news. After I woke up I could recall feeling a " tugging sensation" in my abdomen, hearing conversation, and being aware of the procedure momentarily while it was going on. I didn't experience any pain. I would still give the drug a nine out of ten, although if I receive it again in the future I will tell the anesthetist about this experience."


"I suffer from depression and also have Type 1 diabetes. I wanted to try this medication and quickly noticed a difference in mild pain in my legs. I take good care of my my diabetes, have had it for 25 years and have been in a nationwide study for 24 years.
As for depression, the Cymbalta seems to do nothing for me. I started on 60mgs, then increased to 90 and then 120mgs with no improvement ever since taking it. I'd like to stay on a lower dosage of it for my mild leg pain but, desperately need something for the depression."


"This is a relatively gentle sleep aid.  Only time I ever had problems with it is when I accidentally put it in with my morning medications!"


"I just finished with my 5th injection in my left knee, can not walk today. Pain after injection was like having a scope done and walking on it immediately after.  Hoping to find some relief soon. Not looking good.."
