"I had a horrible experience with Zoloft. I started on a low-dose liquid form and at first it seemed to be really lifting my mood, reducing my anxiety, and boosting my self esteem. But I soon began experiencing extreme irratibility and episodes of destructive rage aimed at my belongings or myself. I loved the benefits, but the side effects were ruining my life and relationships, so I discontinued. In addition to rage, I also experienced severe prolonged pms (3 weeks duration), constant breast pain and swelling, unrestorative sleep, and awful vivid lifelike nightmares. In terms of reducing depression and anxiety, I'd give it a 9, but the side effects didn't enable me to continue taking it."


"It works if you take it over a month but do follow instructions on the bottle about how you are supposed to take."


"I have been using this for about three or four months , I haven't had any major mood swings or major acne breakouts but I have been experiencing abnormally painful cramps and an extremely heavy flow. A super to super plus tampon will only last me maybe one hour."


"I was diagnosed with Lupus April 20, 2009.  I was prescribed Cellcept and still on it.  I notice a difference in the joint pain if I haven't taken my dose yet.  The disadvantage is the stomach issues it causes.  My doctor also prescribed me Imodium.  That helps a lot."


"The Best I have ever tried. get calm , relax. think well, no more attacking attitude, not easy to explore as before

I am taking 200 m/day. 100 2/times"


"Today is my 2nd day taking this pill.  I have had dry mouth and was unable to sleep throughout the whole night last night.  I do not feel energy at all, in fact, since I didn't sleep, I didn't even want to get out of bed today.  I've had a bad headache today, and feel a bit nauseated too.  I'm going to keep trying it, but just wanted to go over some side effects after my 1st day on it.  I hope to lose weight though"


"I used to get diarrhea with my panic attacks and Imodium A.D made it possible for me to still travel. It works almost instantly, it stops the got to go feeling instantaneously."


"I used this during cancer treatment in 2015 to alleviate the sharp pain in my right lung (tumor). For the worst pain I was taking 2 X 40 mg/day. I was able to wean myself off it after about 6 weeks but now 2 years later the cancer has become active again, so I'll take 20 mg to see how I go. It does cause constipation."


"Did not help much with my Crohn's, but less side effects than others."


"Works great to prevent migraines."


"My experience: I'm 18 years old, and this birth control is amazing! Hardly use condoms with my spouse and I've been protected for 2 and half years. The only bad side, is the bleeding and discharge. I've been bleeding non stop and cannot tell what's my period and what's just blood. The other down side, is headaches and the blood! It's annoying to want to get intimate and have a pile of blood in your underwear. If you're looking for protection I highly recommend this, but if you mind bleeding and the other mishaps then try the pill!!"


"I starting taking Monodox to help with a acne breakout. It worked within 3 days and started drying out my acne, but after 2 weeks I stopped because it was irritating my stomach to much. My face was pretty cleared up but not perfect. I was supposed to be on it for a month. The weirdest thing was the day after I stopped the drug I began have extreme static electricity in my hair. I still have it and it has been 4 days. I Googled to see what it could be and found that people who are on Accutane have experienced the same. I hope it goes away, it is very irritating."


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

"I have been taking truvada, selzentry, lexiva, norVir for 10 yrs..was not happy about some of these meds being discontinued..I am allergic to alot of meds.
I have been positive since"87". I have been undetectable for 8. T-cells are 285.
I have been taken genvoya for 1 month, 1 week.  1st week was rough..nausea, diarrhea, fever....but I stuck it out.
Hope this medicine helps us all.
Do not give up.."


"I can't stop eating. This pill caused some pretty annoying side affects. Cramps, bloating, agitations, fatigue, the worst mood swings the first week after taking it, and bleeding dark blood. I'm wondering if my whole menstrual cycle started over. I'll have to see on the 27th. I can honestly say I hope these hormones get out of my system fast before I gain more weight from these uncontrollable food binges. I look different. I guess it's better than an unplanned pregnancy right? Still, I wonder how long this pill and it's tracks will be in my body. I liked my hormonal balance before the pill. Does anyone know?"


"Was on depo for a year prior to switching to nexplanon in 2012. For the first 2 and half years there were no periods. The the last couple months of the 3 years however unpredictable periods started of varying durations of up to almost 3 weeks. Next insertion will probably be a few months before the 3 years to prevent the bleeding. New implant stopped the bleeding. No problems with weight gain or loosing weight on Nexplanon."


"This gave me headaches all the time. Stopped taking it and have been headache free !"


"Maxalt always seems to be my rescue drug for putting off full migraine. My Dr told me to take full 10mg tab (I would take 5mg as it worked) to alleviate rebound headaches. Also, she wanted to limit my intake of Maxalt to 2xday/2days wk/2days inbetween. I recently tried this with other drugs she prescribed for headaches inbetween.  I ended up in ER yesterday with the WORST migraine of my life. I'm looking for another Dr. and blame the new regimen for the problem. Has anyone else been told about limiting their Maxalt in this way? I get anywhere between 2-6 headaches a month, usually."


"I had the Paragard IUD for 6 months, I chose this particular birth control because it has no horomones! My experience getting the device inserted was smooth.. it didn't hurt at all, but there was indeed some pressure! I was sore for about 3 days, my periods stayed the same, and everything was normal.. the only thing I would point on though was I kept having a strong cramp in my tail bone and sex was quite uncomfortable! Other then that this birth control gave me no other problems."


"I've only been taking this medication for about 2 weeks and notice a severe drop off in my anxiety levels around people.
The only downfall to this medication is the increased level of depression. I'm 22 and so far this combined with Klonopin seem to be the best combination I've had."


"This is some of the worst pain of my life. DO NOT USE THIS! The inside of my vagina is itching so bad and burning. I took two showers and got a large amount of the cream out but it has only helped relieve the pain slightly. Ice pack helped but its been an hour and I feel like little people are running around my vagina wearing cleats. Took a Benadryl so hopefully that'll let me rest finally. This medicine is 10x worse than the YI symptoms!!!"


"Was prescribed this medication for hormonal acne and started at 100mg daily. This did nothing for me so at my 3 month check up the dermatologist switched me to 150mg daily. This immediately made a huge difference in my skin and within 2 weeks I noticed a reduction in breakouts. I used to break out a lot during my monthly cycle and now I get maybe 1 pimple a month. I also started using a Clarisonic brush to cleanse my skin better.  You have to be patient with this medication as not everyone reacts the same to the same dosage. You and your doctor may have to try different doses before you get it right but once you do it is worth the wait!"


"I had my first outbreak at 19 and maybe 1-2 minor outbreaks. At 38, my outbreaks became noticeable and frequent- as soon as the itching subsided, it would appear again 3 days later. Then my anus started to itch. After a visit to my gynecologist, I walked away with a prescription for 500 mg of valacyclovir to be taken daily. One week later I had an outbreak similar to my first, except now my buttocks and thighs were included. I had a 1 inch lesion on my inner  buttocks and my vagina was swollen and weeping (the itching was unlike anything I've ever experienced). I stopped the valacyclovir after about 20 days. The symptoms abated 3 days later."


"I think there is a reason the government has made Tramadol a category C drug...they want people in society to take it but everybody in society just wants to get high. Tramadol is the best DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, MILD PAIN MEDICINE EVER. This actually is better than everything without the high. If you actually wanna be a happy person without being high, this is it. 50 mg am- optional second until next day. Forget the critics. I would say this is like adderal, without the hunger side effects, lack of sleep, personality disorder, grumpyness, depression, etc etc etc. The best thing about it is the government is only selling it for $4 dollars. You don't even need health insurance."


"It's a good medicine ..takes away my back pain and muscle spasms. The only downside is that it gives me blurred vision."


"Supposed to be 6 weeks to take effect. I felt instantly calmer, happen the NEXT day! Couldn't believe it. Started at 10mg moved to 20 MG in year of use. My problem now is  its been 7 years of working for me but 20mg doesn't have same effect of earlier years. I want to have  increase in MG use. How to I get doctor to do this?"


"I was on the Ortho Evra patch for a couple years and after the first 3 months of your body adjusting to it, (which you are forewarned about) just regular side effects, mood swings, regular cramps (when your time is almost near) and I believe it gave me a high sex drive. I've been off of it for about 5 months and my sex drive plummeted dramatically. It's extremely convenient due to my forgetting to take the pill everyday. I usually put it on my pelvis and rotate sides each week."


"I love it. No side effects. My periods have only been when I regulate them with pills. I have been on it for a year and 9 months and I'm not pregnant."


"I am on my second dose 400mcg 2 times a day. The doctor is gonna have to lower it to 200mcg. I felt good at that dose. Side effects are pain on my legs and arms and restlessness. When I was on 200mcg twice a day, they were mild side effects. When I uppered the dose to 400mcg 2 times a day, the side effects were terrible. I cant deal with that kind of pain. Toooo much. Guess my dosage is gonna be 200mcg a day.its only been 2 weeks. But at least I don't get sob. I get tired cause the pain is sooo bad. Everyone is different so I would recommend it. I will be back in a month or two for my other rating. I haven't been taking it that long. I just can't stand that pain."


"I love Relpax.  When Excedrin Migraine doesn't work I take 1 20mg. Relpax and my migraine is gone in an hour without side effects.  So glad Relpax offers a $10.00 co-pay on their site, otherwise my insurance would charge me $60.00 for 9 pills."


"I have a pre existing condition (brain injury/seizures) the Prednisone work great for my arthritis however it made me have 12 seizures. But unfortunately as soon as the prednisone was out of my system my symptoms came back immediately."


"I absolutely loved this IUD. I was skeptical at first, being that I hopped on the internet and started reading reviews and pretty much all I saw were people saying how bad the pain was getting it inserted and that the pain was worse to get it removed. The pain getting it inserted was NOT as bad as I was expecting. It literally just was a cramp that was a smidge more painful than I was use to. Besides that, the insertion was not bad. I cramped/bled for about a month then after that my periods started to slowly lighten up and now 3 years later I basically have no period (which is awesome considering before my IUD I had the worst periods). I recommend Skyla to everyone."


"I used to have moderate cystic acne - down my back, on my arms and of course all over my face. It was my greatest insecurity and the cause for my low self esteem. I would simply refuse to go outside without wearing layers of makeup first and would constantly pop my pimples in order to flatten them out and attempt to conceal them better with makeup- stupid, I know .
I have Accutane to thank for changing this about me. It has been my messiah. I won't claim to have picture perfect skin but after 8 months on this drug my skin is nothing like it used to be. Nowadays I don't wake up and pat my face for new breakouts , first thing in the morning filled with dread.

Of course it is important to take this drug responsibly and keep your Derm informed"


"Before taking lisinopril, I was 100 lbs overweight, constantly tired, constantly in pain over body and joints with some arthritis in back and hands. This medication has accentuated weakness, tiredness and pain which was reported to physician two months into treatment. At Dr urging, I have continued to take this medication but will discontinue use when this prescription runs out. I have developed frequent nosebleeds which I have not seen mentioned as a side effect of the medication, but will note whether this improves when off medication."


"I have a lot of kidney stones so I get a lot of urinary tract infections. I am on Macrobid now and it only took 3 long days to get rid of the fever and feel better. I can't take Bactrim and some others so I don't have a lot of choices, but this really worked for me"


"I went through a very rough patch and initially started on Lexapro, mostly for anxiety. It made me have no strong feelings, good or bad. I needed that for a while but got concerned about not caring about much of anything. That's when I weaned myself off of that. Not too long later I realized I still had issues that needed dealt with. My doctor suggested trying wellbutrin instead as it targets different chemicals in the brain. It has made a huge difference for me in dealing with persistent depression. For the first week or two I had night sweats and very vivid nightmares along with a loss of appetite. I've been on 150mg twice daily for about a year now and and makes me feel as close to normal as I've felt in a while."


"I used the brand name ROSULA yellow cream, which came in a tube, before they stopped making it.  When used it in the morning along with Duac at night, it helped my Rosacea and skin in general.  I went to another brand (only one active ingredient) when I could no longer get Rosula cream--it's a watery clear liquid; not as effective and drips everywhere."


"I began taking this medication in September 2014. I used it for 6 months and lost 50 pounds. I had a few side effects such as constipation and loss of sleep, but both were very manageable. This medication reduced my appetite so much that at times I had to force myself to eat just to make sure I was taking in at least 1000 calories a day as directed by my doctor. I went off the medication and gained about 10 pounds back, so now I am restarting the medicine after being off a while. It's no miracle drug, but it is a great tool."


"I'm sure this medicine has its place in the internist's arsenal BUT UNDER NO CONDITION SHOULD THIS DRUG EVER be prescribed for the elderly. A Board Certified Internist prescribed this medicine (although there are over 100 other alternatives) for my 75-year old mother. Luckily, she is totally competent & in VERY good health. BUT the smallest dose of this medicine did exactly what the manufacturer WARNS ABOUT - dizziness, sleepiness, etc. She wound up falling and the ER doctors who treated her said that if (BY PURE LUCK) I hadn't been walking directly behind her and was strong enough to catch her she would have broken hr femur or hip.  This was reported to our State Medical Board and the MD was fully investigated. Within 60 days the license was revoked."


"I am 29 years old with no children, I have not been on any type of birth control for the past 3 years. My boyfriend wanted me to get on some sort of birth control.  I choose the ParaGard for that fact that it has no hormones and it last for 10 years. I just had it put in 3 days ago. It was hands down the worse pain I have ever felt in my life.  She had to clamp my uterus with a pair of forceps to keep it from moving away from her. The procedure took about 5- 10 minutes total.  After it was finished I sat up and immediately felt dizzy and lightheaded. I had to lay down for 10 minutes.  I then drove home and played in agony for about 3 hours.  After that it was bearable pain and cramping."


"Ignore all the negative reviews because this drug might work for you. I've had depression for decades and have tried 18 different drugs over the years.  Only 3 meds have worked for me, and Fetzima is one of them. This drug saved my life.  The side effects slowly went away over a 6 week time period.  Yes, it is energizing at first and you may need to take an extra amount of benzo to calm you down, but the side effects eventually go away for some of us, although it seems like they never will for weeks.  Give it time to work!"


"My GI doc finally gave me some samples of Linzess (290). I have taken it the past two evenings with food at her direction. While I have gotten some relief from my IBS-C, it's been uncomfortable to say the least. I take the med around 7:00 when I finish dinner, and by 10:30 I'm starting all-night, multiple trips to the bathroom. Explosive, watery diarrhea, loud and almost constant gurgling in my stomach, and my bottom is so raw that I can barely sit down. I still don't feel totally cleaned out. I can't keep up this pattern - getting less than 3 hours of sleep a night (I have a stressful job and can't afford to be this tired!), and I don't dare take it in the mornings because I wouldn't be able to work at all!"


"Hello everyone! I just want to share some experience with the use of Mirena. I have had it for almost 6 months. I was recommended by my healthcare provider of this option since it is safe and suit with my situation. I am 27 years old now and have no kids. In the process of putting it in, it was very painful since I have never had kids, so my cervix is not as wide as ones who did. I had bad cramps for about a week and period for almost a month. Since then, I have some spotting as well as cramps. The cramp is not as bad as I used to have when I was on period. I don't think I have other side effects such as acne or weight gain. I recommend it to you. To me, it is more of psychological fix! Worry free!"


"I took this for my UTI it has worked on me but NITROFURANTOIN makes me pee a lot it also made me dizzy for the first couple of day but got through it."


"Recurrence of HER2  cancer.  Hip and hand problems. Horrible insomnia and memory issued. But does help hold the cancer back."


"I've been taking bupropion 75mg twice a day for the past 6 weeks and I feel like I'm finally back to the real me. I'm 18 and have been dealing with depression, but this medication helped me tremendously. I was originally on Paxil, but due to sexual side effects, I switched to this and it restored my sex drive. I also have a little bit of anxiety, but this medication cleared that up as well. The first week was hard. I experienced heart palpitations, very anxious, ridiculous energy, and I was easily agitated. After the first week, those side effects slowly diminished and now I don't have them at all. That is the only reason I didn't give this medicine a 10. It saved my life. I HIGHLY recommend this to any who doesn't want sexual side effects."


"I suffer from both severe emetophobia (fear of vomiting) AND a panic disorder which causes nausea and gastric upset. I spent many years trapped in a horrible cycle of panicking any time I felt the slightest twinge of nausea, which in turn, induced intense stomach upset, sometimes to the point of heaving. I've tried other anti-nausea medication in the past (Phenergran, Compazine), with so-so results, and the annoying side effect of extreme drowsiness. Zofran has been a real lifesaver for me. Within minutes of taking a pill, my nausea subsides. The only side effect I've experienced has been constipation, but I'll take that over vomiting any day!

"


"This drug worked wonders for me! I had terrible insomnia, and was averaging only a few hours of sleep a night. I started taking 2mg of Lunesta a year ago. It helped me with anxiety and allowed me to get 8 hours of sleep a night.

I have always been afraid of forming a dependency on sleep aids, so after one year of using Lunesta I weaned myself off, just to put my mind to ease. It was very easy to do! I cut my pill in half for a few weeks, then stopped taking it. No withdrawal symptoms. I then decided to keep taking 1 mg but its comforting for me to know that I'm not dependent on it.

Taking this drug was the best decision I ever made. If
I swallow it immediately with water, I don't get a bad taste."


"So I have been taking it for almost a year now, I am thinking on switching. I have gained 20 pounds over the time I have taken it. Can't lose the weight either! My cravings are really bad, which also does not help the weight loss. I get super moody at times and I'm always tired. The first few months taking it, my sex drive plummeted. I didn't want my man to touch me, look at me, I was so moody. My acne before and after my period is horrendous. The only good thing about this medication is my period is lighter. I received this medication from a Planned Parenthood clinic, I will definitely be going to a GYN next month to change this."


"I have to take a very low dose or suffer from stomach problems and diarrhea. If I miss just one day can allow mild seizures to come through. Otherwise it works well."


"This is amazing! The procedure doesn't hurt but a little burn sensation, which isn't anything to stress over. I have not gotten any headaches from Implanon as compared to the pill. So far I think it is great."


"I have used other birth control in the past that has regulated my periods like clockwork after one month of use.  I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and was told this was one of the only pills that did not have a side effect of higher BP.  I gave it 4 consistent months and after I have experienced epic bleeding, to the point it was like having 2 periods back to back, I decided it wasn't for me."


"Took the shot 6-2014 and was bleeding 2 weeks straight every other week. Then August 2014 i started bleeding again and i have yet to stop. It is now a year today when i first took my shot. I now have another dr and she says after i do a pelvic ultrasound and blood work, she will put me on the pill if everything looks normal. The pill will regulate my cycle after about a month taking it. I really hope it works."


"This injection is only effective if you have mild arthritis. If you have almost no cartilage left it is useless. I wish I had known this before I tried this injection. I have moderate-severe arthritis and got a week or 2 of relief."


"I've been on Ortha Evra & Xulane for going on 6 years now. They switched to the off-brand a few years ago and I never noticed a difference. I haven't had any complications or bad side effects from it. The only thing I've noticed is if I quit taking it, my period quits coming. I just recently tried to stop in January, my period came that month. Skipped February completely, and passed my period date for this month. So I got back on it to hopefully regulate it out again. Not sure what to do if I wanna stop taking it and try to get pregnant again tho."


"Just started taking this med again. I've been on more than I can count over the years. The only downfall I've had is the daytime foggy feeling which I'm hoping will subside over time. I've only been taking this less than a week and my depression symptoms have greatly improved as well as I sleep well every night. Appetite has gone up for me as well but not a concern for me at this point. Very happy overall. I will post again in a few weeks to give another update"


"Started on 50mg Quetiapine today. Knocked me out for 4 hours but once I came round again there was almost instant relief from obsessive thoughts, paranoid ideation, anxiety and the world seemed much slower. Much easier to handle. Kinda feel like there must be some kind of catch to this deal?

Scared of weight gain but I'll monitor it and let ya'll know how that goes. So far I'm loving it."


"Very literally saved my life. My team of doctors, of course, made the rest of the difference."


"I took this medicine for migraine and nerve pain. I had to stop taking because it caused very bad cotton mouth and constipation."


"The first time I took Xanax was when I was having dental work and it was prescribed for the acute anxiety I feel with dentists. This past year my regular doctor suggested I might like to take it from time to time because of depression and anxiety. It helps tremendously. I usually break the .25 mg pill in half and just take half of one. I do not use it every day, but when I need it, it's wonderful and gets me to the next day."


"I've been on Generess Fe for roughly 5 months and I'm still experiencing bad nausea. I have also noticed weight gain (probably around 10-15 lbs within the first couple of weeks), my breasts are constantly tender and I'm depressed and tired much of the time. I have an appointment to switch my birth control."


"I have mood swings and had 8 months non-stop spotting with  loss of sex drive all together."


"I have severe osteoarthritis of hip-knee-spine. This medicine has minimized the spasm I get in my right hip and the spasm and nerve pain from sciatic nerve compression in the right leg. Helps with 'restless leg' also."


"My husband has RA.    His doctor sent him to the Indiana Heart Clinic to ensure he had no heart issues before they put him on it.   In November 2012 Dr Daly released Tony saying he had NO heart issues so he started Emprel.     In January 2013 Tony had a sizable aneurism on his aorta so he underwent heart surgery.    In April due to infections he had a 14 Hour surgery to redo all he had done in January.    He died on Mothers Day may 12, 2013 of infection.     I'm saying that he had a good heart yet two month s after taking Emprel he doesn't.     What are the odds?    I would not recommend it.   Just in case."


"Well just have start by saying so far so good.  I have read other comments and was scared to start this but it is day 2 and I feel great.  I had no side effects, since I told my doctor that I binge eat at night she advised to take the pill around 5 PM.  7:00 o clock came around and I had no desire to look for a snack or have a cup of coffee.  I started to pack my kids lunches and didn't touch a snack which was something I always did.  I had Gastric Bypass in 2003 starting weight was 305 got down to 165 at my lowest, which was great since I'm 5'6 and at my lowest I wore a size 6.  I saw the doctor because I started gaining weight and presently are up to 216 lbs.  I refuse to gain it all back.  I will get write again in a week.  Good Luck"


"Very effective for fibromyalgia pain. Does not help with fatigue."


"Great."


"I smoked for forty years the last 10 ,2 1/2 packs a day, started chantix feb 1st 2015 , kept smoking will I took it, within a month I was down to two cigs a day and quit March 3rd I had my last cigarette, have not had one for 13 months , had no side effects at all. Was very easy, have a grandson that is 8 and he got me to quit. Would recommend to all tried everything patch, hypnosis, this is the only thing that worked feel good , and saving 6,000 dollars a year. Thank you chantix."


"I was in great pain. This drug helped me immensely."


"this med. works great!!!!"


"I was on it a total of 4 weeks-actually 3 1/2. The first week went well- no issues or concerns. By the 2nd week I started noticing my dreams and frequency of them. I was able to give up a lot of my smoking. Didn't really feel like I wanted to smoke either. By the 3rd week. I was going through a bad rash, hellish nightmares, violent nightmares, somewhat suicidal dreams, stomach flu like symptoms, nasty irritability,  I was in full blown "side effects hell" I called my Dr and asked what to do- she immediately pulled me off of them. I still personally feel that the way it affects your brain and the known side effects that people on it should consult with a Psycologist during the process."


"I have been taking Contrave for three weeks and two days now, and as of this morning lost 17 pounds! I am also on a low to no carb diet, only what sugars are in fruits and veggies. I haven't walked as often as I need to, but plan to do that more. I had a little nausea at first, probably from the meds and from eating no carbs. I am so thrilled! I have 70 more pounds to go, but I am determined to do this. I am hypothyroid for last 15  years, so was skeptical that anything would help me. This has been great for me!!! Good luck to all! I received a coupon from my doctor and had to go online to register. This coupon saved me $230. I paid $70. The pharmacy originally said it was $300. There was NO WAY I could do that."


"I LOVE IT. I had Implanon implanted early September 2011 and had a little bit of spotting for the first 3 weeks and that was it. As for the procedure, I HATE NEEDLES. I had the doctor distract me for the whole process and I still fainted (haha oops) the procedure wasn't as bad as I may have made. It just seems with my fainting (I'm just a wuss),  it was fast and basically painless. My periods have completely stopped. I love not worrying about having to take a pill every day. Overall I am very happy with Implanon!
"


"I'm 13 and last night I took this tablet at about 9:30pm in the night I experienced horrible cramps and the next day I was on the toilet with diarrhoea! It's currently 10:20am and I have gone to the loo 3 times ! To be honest I don't recommend for under 12s."


"The very next day after starting Advair my life improved dramatically.  I am not kidding....this stuff really works.  I now do 40 min of yoga and a full mile of accelarated aerobic walking (20 min) 5 days a week. After that I immediately grab my oximeter....it is almost always at 97 or 98.  My dr. says am in severe stage and functioning and a level 1.  I don't even use my nebulizer and Aluteral  anymore.  I am 71 yrs old and am being fully honest."


"Unfortunately started having erection issues at the age of 32.  I've been taking Cialis 20mg for the last 3 years and it has given me rock hard erections 80% of the time.  It's been a sex life saver for me."


"I'm 17 & I've been on the patch for 4 months now. Before this I had been on the pill for a few years but it started to become inconvenient. The patch is VERY convenient for me. I've tried quite a few birth controls for my heavy and painful periods but nothing has ever worked. The patch hasn't made too much of a difference in that area but my skin is clear & I'm definitely protected from pregnancy.  The first two months my period was really bad but it got better. I'm happy with the patch and I recommend it.  One downside is the color of it though. I'm African American so my skin is brown and the patch is kind of pink like a Bandaid. No big deal though."


"Good."


"10mg Zyprexa gave me insomnia due to restless legs. It had minimal impact on my symptoms. I gained 30lb in a matter of weeks."


"I exercise every other day - intense 20 min. workout  w/dumbells including squats - and take 5mg Cialis within a 1 1/2 day timeframe of possibly having intercourse with my wife, which may be once or twice a week, and after 6 months of this routine I'm confident in my ability to make love again.  Without this combination I'm a lousy lover and only end up frustrating her because she thinks I'm uninterested or she's not pretty enough."


"Good"


"On Humira approx 4-5 yrs now.  I understand the risk of your immune system being compromised however the relief I receive outweighs in my mind that risk.  I am overall a healthy and active individual.  I'm 56.  I take Methotrexate in combination with the Humira.  Early January 2015 I had a knee replacement.  Successful surgery.  I needed to be off the Humira for more than 2 months due to that.  during that time I had major flareups.  I've been injecting again with the humira pen ,  3x in 3 weeks...it's not yet working again....Has anyone experienced this being off of it for a few months and then starting up and the humira being non-effective?  I'd be interested to know.  I'm at the point to ask my Rheum what gives?  Diff treatment options?"


"Relaxed and calm"


"Helps me live a normal life even tho I have Agoraphobia. This medicine kicks my panic disorder in the butt and keeps in down ALL DAY! Unlike Xanax that wears off in 4 hours and leaves you shaking. Also helps me through these uncomfortable Xanax withdrawals. I do feel like I need a stronger dose. I'm 145lbs and physically fit, I take .5mg and I don't feel high or drunk, just normally calm. I haven't tried doing anything outstanding on this drug yet. Maybe with more CBT I'll make more strides on this drug."


"This product works very well. I've been using it for the past 3 years and it has been a life saver. It's restored most of the thickness I had before I began losing my hair. I think most people on here complaining that it doesn't work either aren't following the instructions on how to use it properly, or they waited until it was too late ( being completely bald) to start using it. Keep in mind too that this product takes a few months to begin working. My only complaint is it causes dandruff and itchy scalp."


"Just took my 8th injection of .75 Trulicity today.  It has been amazing.  I always had trouble with my sugars and would get horrible welts from Levemir.  Doctor switched me from Levemir to Tresiba (62 units each morning) and the difference has been amazing.  I have GERD so all I can report is that it definitely has not been worse.  My sugars used to run around 230 to 323 most of the time.  Now they are from about 65 to 130.  If I'm under 80, I don't take any short-acting, which is Novolog for me.  I've lost about 7 pounds and my cravings are a thing of the past.  I am on SSDI and with prior-authorization from my endocrinologist, Medicare has authorized payment.  If it ever doesn't, Trulicity and I will part ways."


"I love Apri. A friend recommended Apri and as soon as I picked up my prescription that is when my love affair with Apri began. Prior to taking Apri, I had severe PMS (irregular periods, depression 1 week before and 1 week after my period, horrible cramps, acne) so my doctor suggested a birth control to help regulate my PMS symptoms. After taking Apri, my acne has completely cleared up, no weight gain, 3 day periods with light bleeding, and no depression. I haven't noticed increased bust size and no change in my sexual desires. I do have increased discharge. But that would be the only bad side effect."


"I read these reviews and was very nervous preparing to take this.  I can't believe what all the fuss is about - I did not mind the taste at all and easily chugged everything I needed to chug with zero disgust or discomfort.  I didn't even have to chill it or drink it from a straw.  It was totally a piece of cake.  Took at 4:45pm.  Started working 30 minutes after taking.  I had been on pretty much a liquid diet for the 4 days leading up to this -- basic emptying of liquid from bowels - no cramps or gas or pain at all. Stayed near a bathroom to be safe, but never too urgent need to go -- went maybe 6 times in 2 hours.  Slept well.  Doing 2nd dosage now and do not foresee any problems whatsoever.  Again, I did not mind this in the least."


"I decided to read the reviews for Mirena after I got it.  Wow am I ever glad I waited!  Reviews that stated spotting for months, and painful intercourse, would have been enough to put me off for sure.

However, I've had a fantastic experience with Mirena so far.  Spotted for 1.5 days (not months - DAYS) with only mild cramping.  Intercourse after 3 days, and it was as enjoyable, if not more so than before.

As I understand, it's better to have had children before using Mirena.  I can see why - insertion would likely have been more painful had I not had 1 child.

High recommendations, but of course, your doctor will know if Mirena is your best choice.  Right down to the tilt of your uterus - there are many factors to take into consideration."


"I took Next Choice One Dose 48 hours after unprotected sex. The sex was one day after my period ended. I was dizzy for several days after taking the pill. I had loss of appetite, but I think it was because I was worried about being pregnant. I had spotting 4 days after taking the pill and the spotting was for 3 days. I had cramps the whole time I was spotting. I ended up getting my period a week before it was scheduled to start. My period normally lasts 6 or 7 days, but it was only 4 days after using this pill. It has now been a month since I used the pill and I am not pregnant. I would not want to use emergency contraception again, I think I learned my lesson. If I had a friend in my situation I would definitely recommend it."


"Many subtle side effects that clear over time.  Chance of infection side effect is curious as that is a condition to be religiously avoided with diabetes of any type.  Also since starting Metformin I have red skin on right leg that seems to never go away.  More than a coincidence I think that this appeared right after starting this medication.  I am finding controlling my diet and exercise a much better solution than current drugs but will take for a while longer."


"IT works like a charm. I took two pills last night and I was able to sleep without discomfort.  I really recommend.  I bought the Uricalm MAX ."


"Although I  loved the fact that this drug allowed me to have fewer periods, however the affect it had extreme mood swings, decrease sex drive, my personailty and my appetite was astronomical."


"My wart was on my forehead was big. When I started to use Duofilm it got sore and blood started to flow like tap water, I was very much afraid but continue to use it and now my wart has gone."


"My girlfriend and I were having sex and the condom broke without either of us noticing. Afterwards both of us freaked out, and about 30 minutes later we went to CVS to get the pill. She was on a birth control, but she had just gotten it and she said another medicine she took dulled the effects of the birth control (hence the reason we continued to use a condom). It worked, but my only problem with it was that it made her period a little late so that whole time we were just wondering if it didn't work. It still worked tho, regardless of some of the comments saying Plan-B was better. In retrospect I would've just gotten Plan-B for the extra $10 for the more positive assurance."


"My MD prescribed Cymbalta for chronic pain caused by disc bulges, in addition to treating my previously diagnosed depression and anxiety.

I took my first dose around noon, and by 2pm had a pounding headache. As the day continued, I began to have tremors and convulsions, blurred vision and was very disoriented. At 10 pm my heart rate and breathing were very rapid and I had mild hallucinations. I rode it out for the rest of the night and after about 3 hours most of the side effects had faded with the exception of the headache. Unfortunately, the worst side effects was yet to come, graphic vivid nightmares. My doctor took me off the medication, after one dose, three days ago. "


"Effectiveness.. well I was the 1% of the population to get pregnant from the IUD. I ended up in the ER because of moderate to severe abdominal pain, bloating, and bleeding. I had weird symptoms and I didn't think it was time for my period so I called my gyno and she said I was probably fine but just take a pregnancy test (I was concerned my IUD shifted). The pregnancy test was positive so we knew something was very wrong so ended up in ER with an ectopic pregnancy and a huge ovarian cyst. I had emergency surgery to remove my Fallopian tube. I had the IUD for 5 months and it was not a pleasant experience, I had cramping that was severe even months after I got it put in, to the point I was hurled over. But it may have been the cyst growing."


"Must be the only person who does not think this is a wonder drug.  Had a nervous breakdown of sorts while already  taking zoloft for anxiety.   Was prescribed clonazepam and didnt touch the sides.  Avanza was added and i felt good for a month. Still take it 2 years later 3mg per day but am not a happy person"


"Having tried bith Imatinib and Nilotinib, my Haemotologist tried me on Dasatinib - the effect this drug had on me was devastating, after only 3 days my body literally began to shut down, I was so weak I was crawling on my hands and knees just to go to the bathroom.
After two weeks off it was decided to try a greatly reduced dosage (50mg) every other day but even at that I had little to no quality of life.

I hope others have had better luck than I did."


"I am 18 years old having constipation from last 5 days. Took 2 tablets at around 10.30pm. I woke up at around 5.30am having pain and went to bathroom, had little hard stools then around 6.30am same little stools. Then at 7am there was sharp pain, when I was moving to bathroom I was going to faint, blackness was there in front of me. I couldn't stand on my feet. I poop my pants and my head struck the wall of my bathroom. Hearing this noise my mother came and made me sat on the floor and threw some water on my face then my senses came. I think no more trouble should come from this medicine now. I will never take this medicine in my life. This was the worst experience in my life. I advise you not to take this medicine."


"Hello strangers. Im here to share my experience of taking emergency contraception, Ellaone. My period cycle has been very irregular last 3 monthes , assumed stresses. Therefore it was very hard to know when exactly my ovulation was. On November 19th, I had unprotected sex with my lover unexpectedly. He had condom initially but it dissappeared.He didnt notice that, so he literally came inside of my vagina. I was panic because of my irregular period cycle, I was not sure about everything. After 17hours of unprotected sexual relationship, I had Ellaone tablet. Regardless how much I worried, my period started today! It was actually starting early then I thought. So dont worry too much! It really works! Release your worries!"


"My LDL is high HDL is low and triglycerides are high. Dr. Recommend me for Crestor 5 mg. initially I couldn't recognise the leg pain and numbness. I couldn't sleep for several night while on this medicine for few days. I stopped taking Crestor after reading its reviews and that stopped my leg pain. I am 35 years old and decided to go with fish oil, healthy diet and exercise."


"Klonopin was great for helping me manage anxiety and panic attacks. Almost all medicines carry warnings about alcohol consumption, so many people like me and assume that moderate alcohol consumption is okay, and that warnings are just to limit liabilities of the manufacturers if someone drinks and has an incident. WARNING: DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL IF YOU ARE TAKING THIS MEDICATION.  I did, and had what I now consider to be a near-death experience!"  I found myself in a public restroom stall, and literally UNABLE TO MOVE for what seemed like hours. I remember feeling my heart beating what seemed like once every 4-5 seconds, and I couldn't even call out for help because I literally could not speak.  I now feel very lucky to have survived."


"I just had Nexplanon placed 6/4/13. The process was simple enough, the only pain I felt was the numbing process, then just tugging sensations as the Doctor placed the insert. Where my arm was cut has been slow to heal, but it is getting there. My biggest scare was that it would come out, it is still there so far! I haven't had any adverse side effects, only itching which I assume is my arm healing. I have been on pills since I was 15, so 16 years later I am excited to try a new method that I don't have to think about everyday. A friend recommended it to me and I would definitely recommend it anyone!"


"I am in my early 40's and have been dealing with severely heavy bleeding, fibroids, and endometriosis. I was prescribed sronyx after a myomectomy I went through in order to help control my bleeding. However it hasn't worked for me. It's been 7 months since my procedure and although I has lighter bleeding the first couple of months after the procedure, my symptoms have all resurfaced. I am having heavy bleeding once again with cramps, clots, and lasts for about 9 days. Perhaps I need to try another pill?"


"I was suffering from awful situational anxiety and depression, hard time fully functioning, couldn't eat, sleep, focus, cried every day, was an emotional mess. Dr put me on 20mg Paxil and told me it would take 4-6 weeks to take effect. Within a week I felt so much better. I could eat, sleep, stopped crying altogether, and stopped being constantly overly emotional.

I did sometimes have a difficult time fully accessing emotions, gained too much weight, and am having trouble with motivation so I'm currently on day 4 of weaning myself off, nothing but mild side effects so far. For me Paxil was extremely helpful to get me through a very difficult time and get me back to functioning so I could keep my job and parent my children."


"I've been on this implant for about a year I absolutely hate it I weighed 120 after having my baby I was so small my doctor told me I would only gain about 5 pounds, I am now at 199 I've tried losing weight that doesn't work my acne is out of this world I barely get a period and when I do it last for like a day and a half! This implant is causing my body so many problems I have headaches all the time , My breast hurt , My back hurts , And it's so difficult trying to lose weight on this it makes me eat unusual I eat all day .. It keeps you baby free and I don't want to get it removed but it comes with so many side effects that your doctor doesn't really tell you about!"


"Viibryd does a fair job with my depression, which is better described as low frustration tolerance and rage issues.  The side effects I had included horrible nightmares, a very frightening condition known as sleep paralysis and brain zaps, described by many of the users on this site.  I rate it a 2 and am now transitioning to another SSRI"


"I have been on this for two years now, and am very happy with it. I'm not as stressed and when I'm on my period, it helps with the pains, and the few times I'd stopped taking it, while I was on my period, my boyfriend mentioned that I'd turned into a little devil when I'd stopped taking it. "


"In a few days short of 6 weeks, I'm down 26 lbs.  Granted I have about 50 lbs more to go.  I have experienced a fair amount of nausea.  It was pretty bad, but it is getting better. I'm drinking more water than ever, partly because it seems to reduce the nausea.  The side effects are a little severe for me, but I like the results so I will march on."


"A week after using Lastacaft, like with some of the other reviewers, I thought I had conjunctivitis and went in to see the doctor, indicating that it started after using the drops. He said it was due to dry eye issues and being around a lot of dust/debris, which made sense at the time. The antibiotic drops did the trick, but I was told to keep using Lastacaft, and sure enough, the redness returned. I continued with the just the antibiotics and I was back to normal. Well, this morning, I thought I'd start with Lastacaft again, since the doctor indicated that they weren't the problem, and I'm back to having pink eye. "


"Gave two stars because it did actually clear up my uti, I think. No more burning or cloudy urine. The side effects were awful. Not only did I have extreme nausea, headaches, chills, hot flashes, insomnia, constipation, shakiness, and racing heart but it also came with emotional/mental side effects which I've never experienced with a prescription before. I feel super anxious and a bit paranoid, to the point of keeping me up at night. I'm on my 4th day of 7 day dose, but today will be my last on this medicine. I've decided I'd rather risk getting the UTI again than deal with these side effects any longer, if it comes back I'll definitely be asking my doctor for a different antibiotic. And I took it exactly as directed, with plenty of water."


"I was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism a week and a half ago. I'm 21 and slightly over weight. My thyroid levels were tested because I sweat excessively. I only felt dizzy on the first two days of taking this medicine. I always feel tired right after I take it, but that goes away after I work out or concentrate on something. After about 3-4 days of taking it, I noticed that I was sweating less! I think I'm slimming down (but that could be because I have had more energy to exercise). I take .025 mg. I'll update in a few weeks!"


"The drug works very well.  What they don't tell you, though, is that it burns like a steroid each time, every time.  So go into it forewarned as it's not anywhere in any literature and it's not something your physician will likely tell you beforehand."


"I was on levothyroxine for over 30 years.  This past year i felt like I had been hit by a bus when I woke up in the morning.  No energy to do anything, aches and pains in hips, legs and shoulders.  I went to my doc and asked her to change my medication to Nature Throid  after hearing about it from a friend who has Hoshimoto's.  Thankfully my doc agreed and after a few days, my energy was back, the aches and pain are gone.  I finally feel human again.  I had no side effects.  I wish this drug was available years ago.  My levo was expensive for a 90 day supply with insurance ($40), now it is only $17 for the same 90 day supply of Nature-Throid."


"Ok I had mine inserted six weeks after my daughter was born Nov 2012. When it was inserted it hurt like heck. I had some cramping and bleeding nothing bad tho. I loved it until Easter 2013 I had one breast swell it was a small cyst. And no period for six months well of course I didn't think it was my mirena. Then my period suddenly came back. I have suffered a miscarriage. I have been so moody, cramps awful cramps, low sex drive my poor husband, breast swelling and tenderness again, cysts on both ovaries, hair loss, depression. I'm getting this thing yanked as soon as possible. And going back on the pill. I hate it! Do not recommend for anyone!"


"I've been on Seroquel for 5 years. I hated it at first because I was only in 7th grade, weighed only 130lbs and was on 900mg. When I first took it I slept for three and a half days. Now it gives me this horrible urge to eat and I can't stop. A few years back it was lowered to 600mg (still a little to high for my liking) but it has helped with my bipolar and my impulses. It does actually help but avoid being on such a high dose."


"The first time I ever tried the one day ovule my woo ha was on fire"


"I recently had carpal tunnel release surgery and was given propofol. During surgery I felt one of the incisions. When I told them (extremely groggily) they must have given me more because I went out like a light. Awoke well, but was on and off with the pixies for 24 hours after wards."


"I'm on my fourth day taking the medication, and let me tell you I have never had such bad side effects. I always get tonsillitis so I'm use to antibiotics and have never had bad experiences with any. This has been so horrible so far. From the horrible taste in my mouth, to the dry throat. The confusion and being unable to speak clearly today. The most recent side effect has been pain and stiffness in my right foot with a bit of tingling and numbing sensations. I called my doctors offices and begged for a different medication. I can't go on with this medication, the symptoms just keep getting worse and worse. No wonder the medication is so cheap."


"Post Cholysystectomy Syndrome: This medicine had been the best thing I have ever had. Regardless of the minor side effects I had it has saved me from constant diarrhea after having my gall bladder removed. I spent 8 miserable months having diarrhea multiple times a day. This has stopped it completely with little to no side effects. It does make me feel full if I take it right before I eat."


"This is the second type of birth control (both the pill) that I have been on. I was only on the other kind for a month, because it made me crazy and I had awful mood swings. I took a year off from any birth control pill, patch, etc. because I was scared to have a similar situation. This pill has been an overall good experience. I do not have any irregular mood swings on this pill. I have been on it for about 3 months now, and my acne is still worse than before I got on it, not that it's a big deal. Also, I have had a lot of abnormal spotting on this pill. It seems like, at first, every 2 weeks or so I started my period. It's pretty light, but I get bad cramps that last for 2-4 days."


"I am 18 and have been on Depo since I was 15 due to severe menstrual bleeding. When I first got the shot I noticed my bleeding kept lightening up until my second shot and it stopped all together. I eat like a pig, but that's not really a big deal for me. During the first 4-5 months I lost 40 pounds, and slightly over a year later I've gained 20 back. I know a lot of girls fidget and carry on over the weight issue, but if you exercise daily and eat appropriately, it won't turn into a big deal. I definitely recommend this to my friends who either have bleeding issues or just don't want to get pregnant. Works PERFECTLY in both cases; at least for me!"


"I have tried Dulcolax, which will only  work if I take 3 or 4. MOM only work if I drink half the bottle. I took one Linzess and started drinking a lot of water, in about an hour was going and had no cramps or bloating feeling. Just don't pass gas because that's probably not what that is. Don't forget the WATER."


"Do not let the negative reviews scare you! I'm glad I didn't! Everybody is different you won't know how this birth control will work until you try it. If it doesn't work well with you remove it. I have nothing bad to say about Implanon. I have had it for 6 months, I still get a period though sometimes I skip a month. When I do get my period it is light panty liner light. No acne no weight gain, libido has not changed, no cravings, no mood swings. This has been the best birth control for me!"


"I got the Skyla TODAY. I am 21. I had my first pap in March. This is the first time I've "taken" birth control. I chose the skyla because it's smaller than the mirena & lasts for 3 years. I didn't want a 5 year one because I feel like having something in there for 5 years is more gross than 3 years. It was inserted about 2 hours ago. As of now, I am feeling cramps. Just like regular period cramps. When it was inserted, it didn't feel much different than a pap. I did feel a few cramps, which were pretty bearable. My legs started shaking during the process, but I think it's because I almost let my nerves get the best of me. My doctor explained the whole process before doing anything, which was good. I would recommend this product!"


"After several wrist surgeries, I developed severe tendinitis on both sides of my wrist. For 20 years, I've been living in pain 24/7. These pain patches basically feel like happiness surrounding my wrist. I still have pain but it is at a much more tolerable level. I have my life back.  For me, the patches work better than pain pills. They are covered by my insurance at a higher co-pay. And, with each prescription, I have to go through this whole prior authorization wait period. Get samples from your doctor to test them out and make sure they work for you. If they do, then fight the insurance. For my wrist, I am able to cut the patches into 2 halves and makes the prescription last longer. These saved my life."


"I was given this in a hospital ER for a migraine. One of the single worst experiences of my life. I would not wish the side effects on my worst enemy. It cause me such extreme anxiety that I wanted to pull out my IV. I felt so out of control. After I left the hospital, I had such paranoia, that I didn't want to be left alone. Took a day or two to get back to normal. NO ONE SHOULD TAKE THIS DRUG!!!!"


"I was on Zovia for about 4 years. I always took it on time. I never had any side effects. My periods only lasted about 4 to 5 days. The periods were pretty normal and no cramps. I missed one dosage and got pregnant. Granted it was my mistake. I recommend this drug to anyone as long as you don't forget to take it."


"This drug heaedl my acute sinus infection after a week. I believe it is stronger than Co Amoxiclav."


"Just put 2 and 2 together after reading side effects and realize that the Toprol XL was causing my rapid weight gain and severely swollen ankles. It has worked great and keeps the Mitral Valve Prolapse symptoms under control but the weight and swelling issues have to be stopped. I guess I have to look for another medicine."


"I've had awful cramps and I've had a period for 2 months straight. It's caused me to have period clots (which I had never had before so it scared the crap out of me) I've just felt miserable with this form of birth control!"


"I am a 16 year old boy,I suffer from fairly mild acne.I have been on minocycline 100mg once a day for about 3 weeks now. I have noticed my acne has become more apparent as if all the spots have come to the surface however this is annoying I have read that the general theme is it gets worse before it gets better. I use Clean and Clear Advantage Spot Control Daily Wash in the morning and night I have so far not really noticed any difference with using this product however it leaves a refreshed tight feel to my face so I moisturise after using Aveeno Moisturising Lotion I would recommend this product however as it stops your skin feeling dry."


"I did a 6 week trial of this and it made me psychotic for about 2 hours once I had gotten my blood level up. High as a kite, aggressive  and talking backwards. So I went off it and had terrible withdrawal in the form of depression and suicidal thoughts. I have temporal lobe epilepsy and I think I am on the more psychotic end of the spectrum so I was more vulnerable to those side effects. I was a second degree black belt at the time. I judge all drugs by my ability to do a decent back kick  without falling over. It failed the back kick test as well."


"I have been taking Cozaar 50 mg 1per day  combined with Coreg 25 mg 2x daily for about 10 years. My blood pressure was 200/120. About 2 years ago Coreg CR 20mg replaced the  Coreg daily. This regimen slowly reduced my BP to 100/60.  This BP was too low so I stopped the Coreg CR completely. I am now on Cozaar 50 mg 1 per day and my BP is averaging 125/60-70."


Acetaminophen / dexbrompheniramine / pseudoephedrine

"I have been taking this medicine for over 30 years (first as perscribed by doctor). Now it is very difficult to find and the only thing that works on my itchy eyes, itchy throat and sneezing at the same time. It also helps with any itchy skin due to pollen."


"I have been on AndroGel for two months now and I can say this is the best I have felt in the last 5 years. I feel like I am 20 years old again. Not 53 anymore. My T count was at 101 I had no drive what so ever. Now 2 months on AndroGel and I am up to 780 count and still going up. Better body tone more muscle mass belly fat going away. I have lost over 15 lbs in 2 months. And I have more engery than I know  what to do with..And the wife has no complaints what so ever."


"For the 3 years I was on it I had ravenous hunger, low blood sugar crashes, low libido, stress, and anxiety. I had just quit smoking and wasn't used to eating instead of having a cigarette. I started on Ortho Lo. I thought I was just stressed with finishing school but the moodiness didn't stop so after a few months they put me on Reclipsen. The nurse told me it was her favorite one and I wouldn't feel a thing bc it was a monophase and wouldn't make my hormones jump around
...like they are Supposed to naturally a few times per month. Looking back I just wish I had realized it wasn't "Me handling life so weak and vulnerable." It was the pill. Hormones cause feelings. BC pills have FAKE hormones!"


"So much better than Oxycontin for osteoarthritis in my S.I. joint (cocyx/pelvis).  Less constipation, better for driving, doesn't impair judgement... 30-60mg/day, compared to 60 Oxycontin."


"I've been taking lexapro for about a year now and it seems to help a lot with my social anxiety. I don't think about nor care what people think as much as I used to. But it does make me kinda have like no emotion toward people's feeling & what not. Which is a downside. But I used to be afraid of big crowds. I wouldn't really want to be around people but at the same time I did because I wanted to have friends and be outgoing but it was extremely hard for me. Also I had like mild depression, always negative thoughts. But since I've been taking it it's definitely made me more positive and more friendly. Before I would always worry about everything and when I say everything I mean everything lol. With out it I do have bad withdrawal & it sucks."

"I took the pill Friday night and went to bed. I was rock hard most of the night. I have mild erectile dysfunction. With this medicine I go for hours. It gives you the confidence that you can think what you're going to do next and stop worrying about if its going to stay hard. My erections are firmer for some days after. No headaches or other side-effects. "


"Fast and effective."


"This drug does help me calm down and focus (it also really helped me with my anxiety) but the side effects of vomiting, feeling like I don't care about the world and my head is squished in, and ultimately my inability to stay awake throughout the day left me asking my doctor for a change of medication. For reference, this was my first medication used to manage my adult ADHD and I started on one pill for three days and was moved up to two and these side effects worsened with two pills."


"I've only had this in for a couple weeks, but so far it seems to be a huge success! The only thing I don't like about it is how itchy it has been, but it's getting better. I've also noticed a bit of weight loss (not complaining) and my period, which I just got yesterday, has been very light. I haven't had any spotting or irregular bleeding. Overall, I think I've finally found a form of contraception that isn't a constant hassle."


"I have been taking this medicine for 2 weeks now and have gone from 330 pounds to 320. That's a huge deal for me because I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and typically cannot lose weight. It suppresses my appetite so much that I have to remind myself to eat. I have had no side effects at all and haven't increased my exercise. I am very happy with Belviq. Hopefully it continues to go well."


"I've only been on NuvaRing for a week. But I'm not nearly so dizzy as I was on the pill. Haven't tested it yet to see how my hubby feels about it. I'm assuming though that the thorough disgust and nausea at the sight, smell and taste of hamburger last night is because the ring has the same hormones as being pregnant. Hoping that we're not pregnant right now. Have slight acne breakout. That is all for now. We'll see how I feel after more than a week."


"I have been on various medications for years, some have been Lortab, non-narcotic pain medications, Ms-contin, Oxycontin and fentanyl patches.  I was on 150 micrograms of fentanyl/48 hours before switching to Opana ER.  Initially I was taking 20mg of Opana 2x/day and it was not sufficient for my pain, but I couldn't handle the side-effects of the fentanyl patches (narcolepsy) so I worked with my doctor to increase my dosage and frequency so that I now take 30mg 2x/day and 20mg 1x/day.  It is expensive but I am finally able to live a near-normal life.  I play with my kids, I don't miss work, and I even keep the house up (with great help from my better half).  Opana ER has been great for pain relief with almost no side-effects!"


"I suffer from harm-ocd (violent impulsive thoughts), and im taking Zoloft for almost 2 years now. Im currently 23 years old. Here is my review..

It helped me much but it didnt eliminate OCD. Though, it reduced anxiety and the frequency my mind produces impulsive thoughts with. In the past, i had pains in the back side of my head and Zoloft made them go away.

Nonetheless, I also had some side effects. If i take it late at night, it will cause me tension making it hard for me to sleep. Additionally, i feel like its much harder for me to climax during sex. I still can ofcourse, but i need to put the double effort."


"I've had this for 1 year seems to be working good I'm not pregnant. I used to get painful heavy periods all the time but since I've started this BC I've only had two very light periods that lasted 1-2weeks  both times the blood was brown like it was old or something. Sometimes it feels like it itches or I get some pain if I lay on it the wrong way."


"Bipolar with mixed episodes, ADHD and severe anxiety. Saphris was a miracle for me also. I've been on disability for 10 years and this is the first medicine I've taken that has made me functional.  Absolutely can't take it the morning; it makes me incoherent for about 3 hours and I eat everything in sight.  So I take all 20 mgs at night and am doing fine.  Have mouth sores, though. My doctor said to alternate between taking it sublingually, supra lingually and but ally and it's helping. "


"I have tried several medications with only a slight improvement. I was going to the toilet average 15 times a day and now about 8-9. But the good thing is I can now sleep at night. For the past couple of years I have been waking up 2-3 times at night and now I can sleep for 6-8 hours. Not only has it improved but there is less side effects. Not much or a dry mouth. Finally a medicine that works."


"Chronic back pain. Started years ago when I lifted weights in a gym that we're too heavy. Back has not been the same since. 6 yrs ago I fell down the stairs at home and fractured my Coyxx.."


"This was for my anal fissure.  I had 3 refills because medication gets wasted as it does not go into applicator....but definitely seeps out side of canister. $166.00 x 3 and what a waste of money. Would probably be a great drug if product didn't waste out sides. Called manufacturer, called pharmacy...it's like getting clearance for NASA. PLEASE BEWARE!"


"Became ineffective within six months and developed an allergic irritance with it."


"I've been on Effexor xr for 2 weeks and it's great. I had been on Zoloft before and it pooped out on me so my doc switched me to Effexor xr and after 2 days I started feeling good again. I take 37.5 mg per day. I come back to write here because I wanna give back to this forum and give hope for anybody that suffer from this like me. keep to try the med that suit for you. best wish!"


"I've had Implanon for almost 3 years and had it removed today. I loved this birth control because it completely got rid of my period, and cramps. On the pill, I had awful cramps and would spend days in bed, on Implanon, cramps NEVER bothered me. My only complaint with the Implanon was major weight gain. Over the past three years I've gained quite a bit of weight and this is the only reason I'm moving back to the pill. If you're worried about weight gain, do not use  Implanon."


"Been constipated for 2 days now. Bought the cherry flavor and took the indicated at night by the morning have never felt so good felt the bloating go away also. Poop my guts out "


"It's the most effective for not falling pregnant. I heard people getting pregnant on everything but the Implanon. It's 99.9% effective. I had fun with it. No kids and all the fun you can have. I have one child when I was 16 and got the Implanon right after I had him. I was too young and need to make sure I have no more for a while. When I get in my late 20s I will have another child but for now no. I'm 19 and too young."


"I have only been taking citalopram for one day and I already feel a sense of calming.  Also alot of jaw clenching."


"This is my second time on this medication. For some background, I have had IBS my whole life and had many tests done and tried all kinds of diets to try and help and nothing worked. I used to go to the bathroom 6-8 times a day (sometimes more, usually with cramps) I used to take bentyl but it makes me feel very sleepy and groggy. I took the 75mg for awhile but it became less effective so now I'm on the 100mg and it works a lot better and I'm down to going to the bathroom about twice a day with minimal or no cramps through out the day. The only side effect I have had is that about 10 minutes after taking the pill I feel weird, like a weird feeling, mostly in my upper back/shoulders. It goes away pretty quickly and doesn't hurt."


"Cymbalta 120mg for 4 months
Good:
- slight to moderate increase in motivation, mental energy and attention/alertness.
- decrease in anxiety and depressive feelings.
Bad:
- made me less social, less empathetic and more robotic.
- horrible withdrawal symptoms which happen quickly if you forget to take it.
- when my dosage was increased from 30mg to 60mg, it started to give me nightmares at night and caused me to wake up in middle of the night and lose sleep.

Conclusion: Better positive cognitive experience than 10mg Escitalopram which other than positively affecting my mood, all it did was cause constant brain fogs and decrease my motivation even further."


"The BEST medication for controlling my cough due to recurring and sometimes chronic bronchitis. I have never had any side effects whatsoever. I just stop coughing."


"I didn't experience any side effects whatsoever. I've been on Aviane For 3 months now, the only thing I noticed is my breasts and back got a little bigger. My face got so much smoother after about 3 weeks. I Love Aviane."


"I am on my third month of taking Lamisil.  I had no side effects for the first two months and now I have frequent diarrhea (every day).  I just don't understand why I am now getting the side effects.  I am always thirsty, feel dehydrated and have a bad taste in my mouth most of the time.  Slight headaches here and there.  Did anyone else have side effects that came after two months?  Luckily this should be my last refill of this medication.  I haven't noticed any positive changes in my middle infected toenail, but a friend who took the medication advised me that it could take six months or longer for a new nail to grow in.  Staying positive."


"Have been taking 2 dosage of indomethacin 25 mg for over 4 months now. This is the only medicine which has worked on my headaches."


"Well I started at a 100mg dose and within 3 days it kicked in. I felt great...laughing again. ..cleaning the house again...friendly and chatty. No anxiety either. It was a lifesaver for me."


"Started with an SSRI for anxiety and it just didn't work. Finally got prescribed this benzo Klonopin and it's perfect! I take 0.5mg, but when I take it, my anxiety goes away. I feel like I can do anything, with a clear mind of course. I don't have to hide away anymore. I thought this drug might make me "stoned" or something, but really all I experience is, after about 15 min, a general clear-minded sense of well-being and it works for a while. Good stuff."


"Relieved symptoms of severe depression but caused terrible, debilitating dry eyes.  I have mild dry eye disease under normal circumstances, and dry eyes are *not* listed as a side effect for Latuda.  It got to the point though where I was unable to do anything because of my dry eye discomfort.  I got severely tense and anxious, which kind of negated any positive effect from the Latuda.  So, we stopped it, and my dry eyes went away."


"I started Belviq 3.5 weeks ago. I tried sorting through reviews just like you are, to see if the $85 a mo. after coupon was worth it. I found it difficult because too many reviewers left out their gender, weight & height so I just decided to just try it.  With that being said, I'm a 5'1 female with a desk job weighing 163 to start. I now weight 157. This medication suppresses my appetite slightly, but it suppresses my cravings a lot & I don't give like before. The first day I thought I wasted $85 because the headache was awful. It subsided the next day. I do feel sleepier at night, so I haven't worked out at all, I'm going to purchase another month & add  Exercise. I'm also on a 1200 cal diet that I track on my fitness pal"


"This is the only mesalamine formulation that prevents my symptoms (with an anti-TNF medication), and since it's taken only in the morning it's much easier to manage. Zero side effects. Very, very expensive. Sign up for the prescription copay card to make it as affordable as the generics.

Note that while the active ingredient is available as generic, the delayed-release action of this brand makes all the difference in my experience."


"I am on my second Implanon. I find I rarely have periods for the first 1.5 years (bliss), and after that light bleeding seems to be occurring every fortnight which was annoying. However, 1.5 years perfectly fine and after the first one, at about 2 years I had it replaced and all was fine again. I put on no weight (if anything I find I am probably fitter while on it but that's just lifestyle). I did put on weight on Depo the one time I tried it. It doesn't react badly with everyone - I was back in the gym within the week doing light arm stuff until the bruising went away with no ill effects. Issues with this could be doctor problems not implant problems!! I have loved it. No more forgetting to take the pill and being worried"


"I have been using this for about 6 days now and already notice a huge difference. The first few days I was very tired but it was well worth it to get rid of the skin condition that came from nowhere. I am 32 and my skin had never done this before. I am so happy that this is working and thank God that it was not an expensive medication either considering I am a widow and single mom. I would tell anyone with this problem to try this first and skip anything else. It is just an infection. Best of luck to you all."


"Ladies Plan B does work! I had sex with my boyfriend on November 1. So got Plan B two hours later. I only had mild cramps. My period was suppose to be on November 18. I was two weeks late. So I took a pregnancy test. It was negative. I knew I was going to miss my period because I was taking my finals and was stressed out of mind. I waited for my next period andI I only had brown discharge and very small spotting. I continued to wait and decided to take a blood test. The results showed 0 HCG and stated not pregnant. I knew I wasn't pregnant the whole time, because I didn't "feel pregnant" and I continue to experience my period symptom which include acne. And finally I had my period. Be patient!! I waited two months for mine."


"I am 60 and I have had Psoriatic Arthritis since I was 20. So 40 years of trying all kinds of topical medications, cortisone creams, sun light and UVB treatments, Dead Sea Trips and eventually Methotrexate. 6 months ago, my Dermatogist suggested I try Otezla. My Insurance
refused to pay for it and suggested all kinds of Biologic medications.  I refused the Biologic meds after reading of dangerous side effects. Otezla approved me on a temporary Bridge program while we are fighting the Insurance. Initial results were astonishing. Both the Arthritis pain and the Psoriasis were gone! I stopped taking the Methtrexate. About 3 months after I started taking Otezla, some Psoriasis patches came back, though the Arthritic pain is minimal."


"Today I was looking up the side effects of Bupropion HCL 150mg. two a day. I have been taking this for depression & have found it working. I have the ability now to diet & exercize & I want to interact more.  So, as I am reading the side effects I notice that its also used to stop smoking. I didn't know this. I have smoked for 30 yrs aprox & thought I had just stopped smoking for no reason & without even trying.  I wondered why I had almost no interest in cigarettes any more, some days even forgetting to have a cigarette!  If I do smoke it's just 1 or 2 in the evening & not every day and the feeling I have  is not at all a craving. It's more like I will myself to have a smoke because it's what I do (habit), but I don't need one & hardly even want it!"


"So far I am able to control my pain with 10-325. I have another fusion in July. I hope this will be the end of needing medicine to control my severe pain."


"I finally made the decision to seek professional help for my depression/major anxiety.  After trying to self heal for 2 years, I realized that I couldn't beat the anxiety on my own.  I cried the night before my Dr. appointment, due to feelings of failure because I couldn't cure it myself, and I also cried through my entire appointment.  I was severely depressed from having to live with anxiety and fear.  A horrible and embarrassing thing to live with.  My Dr. perscribed me Celexa and I honestly didn't think it would work.  I almost gave up taking Celexa because it took 3 weeks to kick in and I am impatient.  After taking Celexa, I find that I am much calmer. I don't worry about things and I am happier and less fearful.  Only side effect is grinding of teeth."


"Started on 11/14/14, at 227.8 lbs at 5'6" tall - 8 months later I have lost 51 lbs, am now 176.8 lbs. I have gone from a size 16 to a 10-12 depending on the brand. Side effects are dry mouth (solved by drinking a ton of water) and tingling in feet, which I notice more as it becomes time to take the next dose in the morning. Qsymia definitely curbed the snacking, the over eating, etc. Changed the way I eat, increased fresh vegetables, cut carbs (no bread, limited starch, etc.) and stopped eating processed foods. Began to cook dinner more, to control the butter, oil, cooking method rather than relying on the quick fix of takeout. This has made a HUGE difference. Increased activity as well. I can see my curves again. 20 lbs. to go!"


"I took EllaOne about an hour after having sex with my partner. The condom burst, it was an unfortunate accident. This happened 6 days before I was due my cycle, which is quite regular.
The only side effect I had endured was breast tenderness for a few days afterwards.  No spotting or bleeding. On the day I was due my period, I suffered abdominal pains which I wouldn't have associated with cycle pains. When my period didn't come, that is when I started frantic researching; reading forums can be very scary and stress you out even more. I had a tendency to latch onto negative experiences. I stressed myself out to the point of sickness.
My period arrived 2 days late and I know that EllaOne did the job :) Every body is unique. Relax!"


"I was on the study to get Savella approved in US.I went from only being able to work 8 hours a week to 40 hours thanks to Savella. Changed my life for the better."


"I got Skyla inserted two years ago. I still had periods on Skyla but they were much heavier and I had awful cramps. Skyla also caused me to have terrible acne. It wasn’t until recently that I started to have more issues. My periods began lasting more than a week and a half and were only two weeks apart. I’ve been suffering from headaches daily, no energy, dizziness, and nausea. I just don’t feel like myself. I called my doctor and he seemed to think removing Skyla would solve the problems. I went this morning to have it removed (which is pain-free!!!) so hopefully things will get better!"


"I took one dulcolax around 5:30pm with a glass of water and a sandwich and came online here preparing for the worst time of my life. Hadn't gone in 5 days and was starting to feel a bit of pressure/discomfort. About 2 hrs later, one solid (but slightly softer) BM comes and goes and now 5 hours post pill, the only effect I'm dealing with is a grumbly stomach and very mild cramping, no more than a 2 out of 10 on the pain scale. I feel 50x better and this mild post-pill/post BM discomfort is definitely worth it given the huge relief. 6-12 hours to work? More like 1.5-2. My suggestion would be to drink a good amount of water with it and eat if possible, and start with just one pill! I'm a 105 lb female, 20 yrs old. Don't take 2-3 at once!"


"I have been using setter alone now for around 4 years and they help with my mood and anxiety, I am on 100mg, 1 tablet a day. My hair has gone extremely thin, losing loads each day, via combing; I thought initially it was after having my son who is nearly 4 years old, as hair loss can be associated after bearing a child but its getting worse, to the point where my daughter said gosh mum that's not normal, your hair comes out in clumps!

I am rather worried as may be it could be the medication?

Plus Iv put on weight and my appetite has increased! Iv put on 3 stone since having my son.

I think I'm going to reduce the amount gradually and stop taking it as il end up more depressed if these symptoms continue!"


"Suboxone got me off of the Norco, 10mg 6-8 a day. Now I take a half of a Suboxone in the morning and half around lunch. I've had zero side effects. This medicine is a miracle for me, I'm back to my old self and able to do things I thought I'd never be able to do again. I now coach my daughters fast pitch softball, Archery, and the outdoors, pain free.

I know that this medication was not designed to provide "pain relief" but that is the best part about it."


"I was so nervous to get the shot after reading all of the horror stories on the Internet. However, it was absolute rubbish. I went in to get my shot having not used for 11-12 days after cold turkey from a nasty prescription pill habit. Roughly 90-120mgs per day and using suboxone a few days a week when I couldn't afford the pills. The people who are feeding you these nightmare precipitated withdrawal stories are getting the shot with opiates still in their system. Obviously, the more and longer you use, the longer it may take for you to get completely opiate free. But 10-14 days is long enough for nearly anybody. Just have the Doctor give you the challenge with Naloxone before he gives you the vivitrol. If you have no reaction you'll be good"


"I have been on this pill for almost two years. I had very little side effects in the beginning. For the last six months or so my acne has worsened and I've been getting more frequent headaches. A little weight gain but the acne has me reconsidering."


"Worked very well for my severe panic attacks. I've used this med as a crutch for a couple of weeks until Prozac levelled me out. My concern was the severe dependency issues that come with prolonged usage. I took it once a day in the evening for about three weeks, I felt  like I was losing my sanity. Combination of Klonopin in the beginning and Prozac to level me out  worked very well for me."


"NOTE: I live in the UK, where GSK calls Advair 'Seretide'. It's the same thing.

---

I struggled for control until I was given Seretide 50/25, 2 puffs twice a day, on Christmas Eve 2014. One of the best Christmas presents ever!

I got a bad chest infection about 6 weeks later and had to move to Seretide 125/25, 2 puffs twice a day.

Now controlled on Seretide 125/25 and Montelukast 10mg daily. Also have to use Salbutamol inhaler regularly during allergy season or when I'm ill/coming down after an allergic reaction. Prednisolone for latex allergy reaction, and Pred.   prophylactic antibiotics if I'm bad."


"I took it for 5 yrs. and 2 months. I cannot say if the changes were from chemo or from Arimidex. Changes in taste and smell persist. Frontal headache, blurred vision, cough, calcium loss - osteopenia. Stiff joints, long bone pain, sciatica pain of right leg, fatigue, wicked insomnia, hot flushes & flashes. Neuropathy in hands and feet, specially balls of feet and very sensitive tips of toes. Very dry skin, aged face, hair is very thin and breaking easily. Never got back full eyebrows, very SAD! I loved my eyebrows."


"Treated with Coumadin for 3 years.  Stopped Coumadin 2 days ago. Started Xarelto last night 20 mg once a day.  Maybe it is the excitement of being off Coumadin, but today is the first day I feel normal.  No headache, No light headedness, No Fuzzy head, was not tired in the middle of the day.  Coumadin really made me feel different.  I thought it was just getting old.  Also my eyes feel clear now.  First thing I did last night was drink two glasses of cranberry juice. It was great. For lunch spinach in my sandwich.  Wonderful. Looking forward to not seeing my doctor to draw blood every month.  Might even get back into some low impact sports in the afternoon before dinner.  "


"I had bad side effects from this medicine. I had nausea, headache and dizziness almost daily since taking Janumet. Thinking my body would adjust I kept taking it for about 6 months. Since I stopped it 2 weeks ago the nausea, headache and dizziness has stopped. I will have to get "real" with myself and do diet and exercise."


"I've been on it for 5 years and my life is a lot different then it would have been without it!"


"I suffer from severe anxiety and depression and often find myself unable to fall asleep (note I take about 4 mg of klonopin a day). I've never used a sleep aid before this, other then melatonin, and after almost 2 weeks of broken sleep I could say I had a solid 8 hours and actually needed my alarm to wake me up for once lol. The klonopin helps but I don't like taking it right before bed and would never give me a sleep like this. Woke up a little groggy but nothing unusual, no hallucinations or side effects. 12mg did the trick (broke the pill 20mg) and my gf said she's never seen my sleep like that, I was drooling lol. Long story short it is an effective sleep aid for me and suffered no ill effects. Felt well rested as well."


"Started taking this to avoid getting pregnant. First two weeks I had horrible headaches which would turn into migraines. I also started breaking out in acne everywhere. I have not had been skin since high school, but now its all over my face, chest, and back. Nothing helps to get rid of it. I drink plenty of water use the usual creams and soaps and still have acne in exactly the same places for the past month. Only plus is that my period is very light and only lasts four days."


"The very first night I took this, I slept through the night without any more nightmares! Week and a half so far, and it feels wonderful to have slept through the night each night!"


"I'm done!  Qsymia has helped me reach my goal!  Started Sept. 2013, 52 yo female with 3 kids, 5'4" weighed 198 lbs.  Now I am 145 lbs, look and feel great. With the help of Qsymia I have learned how to control my calorie intake yet still feel full and be able to eat everything I like - just the healthy versions.  I hope I will be able to maintain this without taking the medication anymore...We'll see!"


"I love Tri-sprintec! It has regulated my cycle and cleared up my skin. The first couple of months I was a little nauseated when I took it, but that has gone away. This pill helped to balance out my hormones and actually helped me to lose weight. No complaints other than the 1-2 nights of nausea I experience when I start a new pack. Oh, and it's FREE. "


"Where has this stuff been? I have been suffering with irritable bowel disease since the beginning of June and was prescribed Bentyl. The first few days were four 10 mg pills a day and that sent me into orbit, but the spasms lessened. Then I was to go down to two a day and I managed to be awake here and there. Now I am on a daily dosage of one a day. The side effects are sleepiness and a little cognitive impairment, but the cramping has decreased by 97%. For me, this has been a total blessing. As I feel better I am thinking of switching to taking the one pill at night instead of the morning. But for now, I am changing nothing. I eat a very bland diet, but hey, it is being processed normally."


"I was diagnosed bipolar about 15 years ago and have been on and off many medications.  I now have insomnia and Seroquel is the only medication I have found that will help me sleep (besides Geodon which gave me involuntary muscle spasms) I take 100mg a night. It does make me sleep a lot, which I really like. I usually sleep from 11pm to 8:30 or 9am.  Thankfully I don't have to be up early for any reason.  I feel so stable and happy and rested on it.  The reason I rated it a 9, instead of 10...major weight gain.  30lbs and it hasn't stopped.  I did recently try to switch to Latuda because of weight gain and I was miserable with no sleep.  I wish Geodon had worked because I actually lost weight on that."


"Do not choose this method if you are already a overly sensitive person or may have any depression or anxiety, I would not recommend this. I am 24, and this is my second type of birth control method I tried. After I insert it, it took me about 5/6 months to realize that the medicine caused me to become more sensitive, suffer depression and anxiety. I have about 5 panic attacks in one year and always easily irritated and depressed. Once I got rid of it, I was back to normal. It may not be the same for all women but this is my experience."


"Wonderful"


"I've had epiduo for around 3 days already and only by using it once a night I have already seen significant changes in my acne. Before I got this I tryed so many different face washes and this is the only one that had a positive reaction"


"I've been using phentermine to lose the remainder of my baby weight. It's been 2 weeks and I have lost 14lbs I do exercise and already eat right but after I lost the first 50lbs, I turned to this for a plateau breaker it broke my plateau and its helping me get back within navy standards with nothing to worry about. I recommend this to anyone who fully understands the effects of this controlled drug and has a very good understanding of healthy eating and the importance of exercise. Please note that this is a temporary medication - it is not meant to be used past a 12 week period during this time you are supposed to learn how to make healthier lifestyle choices. "


"I have menorrhagia (very heavy period bleeding). I have severe cramps. I was on Loestrin 24 Fe for a year, and I started getting my period twice a month! I started taking Tri-Sprintec a couple of months ago, and I haven't had my period at all, no cramps, my skin is clear, I haven't gained any weight either."


"Helped decrease my headache/migraine. Received a shot of this medication."


"I struggled with acne for about 4 years. within months of taking epiduo I have almost perfect skin with a minor breakout every once in a while. I tried so many treatments before epiduo and this was the first thing that worked. I highly recommend it!"


"I had elbow bursitis so bad, I could not sleep, move my arm. Missed work etc. Tried Advil, naproxen and tylenol and codeine.  Prednisone is the only thing that works and started working within 6 hours.  Took it for 7 days and my arm felt so much better. After I went off, it slowly came back but not quite as bad.  Took it for another 7 days and it healed 90 percent."


"I took Cipro for a month and felt improvement, but 10 days after completing my script, the symptoms have returned.  I am also on Bactrim and am hopeful to get this resolved."


"Don't sip it, don't taste it, just drink it fast, cold.
It works within 30 minutes"


"I cannot tell you how much this has changed my life! I was always afraid to go to the dermatologist because it would cost too much. Finally I sucked it up and went. I was prescribed clindamycin phosphate benzoyl peroxide gel for morning application and Adapalene for at night. The gel does dry your face out, more when you first start using it. At first, my face was really irritated and red after applying and lasted for about a month. I stuck through it and it was so worth it. I MIGHT get a pimple every few months now and I suffered from cystic acne before. I really really suggest sticking with it even though it will burn your face for the first few weeks."


"Horrible!!!  wouldnt recommend to anybody"


"I am surprised at my 24lb loss in the last 3 months and 2 weeks to be honest. I thought Belviq was over priced and just another miracle pill.  With a lower carb diet and less food intake alone  (no "real" exercise) I am dropping weight very easily.  This stuff is great!"


"Within a few days the smell and itching went away. Only problem is yesterday was my last day taking the pills for the infection and it still feels weird down there. Just a little uncomfortable. I hope it goes away!! Anyone else have this problem ?"


"I was originally put on OrthoTricyclin Lo for my acne, but I couldn't afford it so I was switched to trisprintec.

Like I said, I was originally put on this for acne, but then my boyfriend and I started having sex so I was using it for it's BC effects too. It has worked WONDERS. My acne has cleared up, I'm not pregnant (you need to take it regularly though! don't forget!), no mood swings, and my periods are shorter and lighter.

However, I didn't experience the GOOD side effects till after 3 months in! I was moody, bloated, and nauseous, but my body needed to get used to it. I encourage you to try and stick it out for a bit if you just started and are feeling that way. keep up with it and maybe you'll like it too!"


"History of aches fatigue 10 yrs. mostly in early morning . I started taking lyrica 50 mg just one week ago  at 50 mg twice a day.  Very Slight dizziness with first pill however 90 percent better  within couple days . no more morning profound aches. More energy. Maybe a little too much energy. Going to try just  an early morning low dose 50 mg.   over all  I am very pleased."


"Insertion not painful at all!! Literally one second of discomfort. I've just had my period/spotting the past month and am hoping that goes away. Def recommend. IUD's are so the move with birth control I wouldn't do anything else"


"Been on this pill for three weeks. The first week I had headaches and nausea and almost quit taking it due to the side effects but my body adjusted. I have a lot of digestive tract issues but this works for me. I have grown almost a cup size and on certain days have tenderness. My sex drive is a lot higher than normal. I had some spotting and a few minor breakouts during the second week. So far so good. I'm 19 and this is my first birth control. No complaints so far, its worth trying."


"I have a long history of narcotic drug dependency, mainly heroin use. I went into the ER with an insect bite which was infected because I had tried to drain it myself. Don't Do That! I was given IV Toradol during my 5 day stay in the hospital. My 2nd day there I had to have surgery. Post op I took only Toradol, it did great for managing my pain. I chose not to go the narcotic route due to my drug abuse history. Had it not been for this medication, I could have very well been on the road to relapse following my surgery.  I do have to mention that IV Toradol does wonders for me but when I had a prescription for the pills, they gave me awful nightmares and upset stomach along with some other unwanted side effects."


"have used Biaxin (actually now always the generic version) for many years. Works great for me, always makes me feel much better within 12-18 hours of taking the first pill. Never had ANY side effects, except metallic taste - which has never bothered me (never been very strong). Great drug, wonderful for my chronic sinusitis. (Hint: I eat lots of miso when taking antibiotics; does wonders for my GI when taking antibiotics. Miso soup, miso on top of rice, miso in various dishes; just make sure you get the longest fermented one you can find - I buy 2-yr miso.)"


"I have had excessive underarm sweat ever since I was 14. I tried Drysol when I was in High School but didnt follow the directions properly, being young a dumb I just  thought it didn't work.  Years have gone by and I have tried everything from underarm pads, to every antiperspirant under the sun. When I seriously thought about getting botox, I thought I would try Drysol ONE more time.  I followed the directions to a T and after one night of use I didn't even have a drop of sweat the next day.  I'm so impressed and wish I had tried it again a lot sooner. I recommend this to ANYONE who suffers from hyperhidrosis, it is a life changer. I was getting anxiety, not wanting to work in fear of someone seeing my sweat.  I have never been so happy."


"After visiting a neurologist for burning and tingling pain in both feet, I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and pre-diabetes.  (I'm slender, always ate a well-balanced diet, and exercised.)  I tried various medications but the side effects outweighed an pain relief.   I have been on Gabapentin (neurontin) 200mg at night for four years.  It doesn't relieve all pain, but it does allow me to sleep through the night.  I wake up every morning in pain, which continues on and off all day.  However, I have very little side effect (occasional sadness, irritability, nausea).   Neurontin allows me to have a reasonable quality of life, and very inexpensive."


"I took this less than an hour after the condom broke, I experienced a headache, and fatigue. I've had to use it about 3 times. It has worked every time. "


"I just found out that this drug is "unapproved" by the FDA because it is "not effective".  However, in my experience, it is the most effective drug I've tried for my IBS.  I'm taking Linzess and use fiber supplements to regulate my system.  These have helped to limit the number of attacks; however, I do still have them about twice a month.  When my symptoms start, without Levsin SL I am in agony for anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours; with the Levsin SL, my symptoms come to a dead stop within five minutes of taking it.  The plain (not sublingual) tablets take a little longer to work, but they are still better than suffering for over an hour.  I don't understand how the FDA determined it was ineffective."


"I've never used any type of acne medication, I've been using this for a week now and I can see a big improvement only problems I see is that it leaves my skin extremely dry and itchy which is irritating but hey no more acne! ^-^ I would recommend as long as you have a extremely good moisturizer!"


"I had the shot given to my daughter, she fainted (one of the side effects), she had never done this before, it was the scariest experience ever.  The next shots went fine."


"This medicine works perfect."
