"Been using this drop for the last 3 days and can honestly say that this is the 1st drop that has helped my raging allergy eyes in years ! Make sure you ask for the big bottle as my insurance company was charging me the same for the smaller bottle. Hope it works just as good as the allergy season gets worse later this year."


"I just wanted to post another side to this I'm 19 years old and I had the Implanon in for two years. I had horrible mood swings, hot flashes, weight gain, etc. I didn't get a period, I loved that. There are other side effects though you're more likely to catch virus' or have a sore throat all the time. Headaches that are beyond crippling I went to the hospital for them. I had it removed not long ago to find out I may need help to have a child if I ever want one in the near future. I think everyone is different who receives it but really read over the side effects. "


"Hey Everyone, I take 2mg of Ativan a day. 1 mg in the morning and 1 mg at night before bed. I have been diagnosed with Severe Panic Attack and Depression. Lorazepam (Generic brand for Ativan) does help me. Understand that the effects for any medication is going to vary person to person. I don't get sleepy in the morning when I take it, but it does help me get a good night's sleep at night when I'm tired.

Also, I do want to say: Recently, my pharmacy didn't give me the exact amount of pills of Ativan, so I have been off of it "cold turkey" because I ran out and the withdrawal symptoms can be a hellish.

Note: Anybody can be dependent on any medication/drug. Talk to your Psychiatrist. REMEMBER...everyone responds to medication differently."


"I've been on LoSeasonique for 2 sets (6 months).  I've seen no weight gain, no changes in my skin, and my hair is as thick as ever.  I like it, I went off of LoEstrin because I had bad cramps that got worse when I went off it for a year, and pelvic pain (caused by cysts).  SO, this birth control certainly assisted with alleviating these issues.  It's helpful though to exercise regularly I think.  I've had spotting but its nothing compared to my normal heavy periods. I am questioning what other benefits this pill may hold over others. "


"This is my 3rd colonoscopy, and each time I've been prescribed something different. For Suprep I was told to take my 1st dose at 4pm, followed by 2nd dose at 10pm -- colonoscopy is scheduled for 9am, and no liquids after midnight. For me, the stuff was vile tasting. Gag reflex kicked in and the tears started to flow, but got both doses down within a minute by holding my nose & hubby's encouragement. I had a regular BM after about an hour with the first dose. However, I spent most of my time in bed with a book because of the chills it caused. After my second round, I massaged my stomach and walked around the house. I finally started pooping liquids after about 15 mins. Still pooping brown (needs to be clear), and it's nearly 1am."


"This is the only migraine medicine that consistently gets rid of my migraines. I've tried Zomig, Imitrex, and many others - but Maxalt gets it gone in 15-30 minutes and I'm back, up and ready to get back into life. I can even take one at work and just rest my eyes at my desk until it kicks in. Never could do that before."


"I have been on many different antidepressants from the age of 15 till now (22). I have tried Wellbutrin which was decent, Zoloft, Lexapro, Effexor etc. Now I am on Pristiq 100 mg and couldn't be happier. All the years I've been trying to find what works for me, I finally have. My only complaint is that if I even forget to take it one night, within 10 hours I feel awful! Shaky, sweaty, brain zaps, rage etc. As long as I remember to take it, it's an amazing antidepressant."


"Worst experience of my life. I got it when my pharmacy replaced my Lutera with a generic. I felt horrible on it. Crazy emotions and no sex drive. Went to a different pharmacy and got back on my old brand. The first month of getting it out of my system has led to a month long period of brown discharge that only explodes out when you have sex. It's ruining my sex life with my boyfriend. Most horrible bc ever. Just say no."


"I have used it for months now and it helps so much!!! When my period comes around it somewhat helps but i'll still get some acne and it clears up right after. To me if i forget to put it on my face for one day it sucks!"


"Thank goodness for pharmaceutical patient assistance, or I could not afford this life saving medication."


"I never leave reviews but I wanted to for anyone else in my spot and wants sound advice.  I had about 10-12 small warts above my penis (pubic hair area) and 3 on the shaft.

For the "larger" warts on the shaft, I received liquid nitrogen treatment which did not work well - one returned after a month and it had no impact on the other two.

I was also prescribed aldara to be used 5x weekly (M-F).  Let me be clear - FOR THE FIRST 6 WEEKS IT DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.  I was let down but continued to apply it diligently.

Finally, on week 7 things started getting red and inflamed.  This lasted for 2-3 weeks at which point things began healing and now look FLAWLESS.  Highly recommended, but BE PATIENT"


"Fast acting (25-30 minutes) and very few mild side effects - stuffy nose. Can be taken after a meal so no empty stomach requirement. Delivers excellent long lasting results without the Viagra/Cialis side effects."


"Day 3 on BACTRIM due to MRSA. Abscess was lanced and drained 5 days ago. Swelling/Pain of the abscess has finally begun remission. I did suffer from the reported migraine headache all day yesterday and it was quite debilitating,  but no such headache today and I'm finally back at work. Also suffered from some seriously painful abdominal cramps that produced very loose/watery stool. Not much of an appetite today and feeling a little shaky so make sure you eat even if you don't want to. This drug is definitely very effective for treatment of MRSA. If the migraines were constant as others described I wouldn't not be back at work today.

All my best wishes to everyone reading this."


"The side-effects suck. I would get a bloody nose at least 5 times a day, my lips would peel and get blisters, and my arms would get rashes. But it was all worth it. Accutane is amazing. I am so thankful for it. I had acne for 6 years and I tried everything you could imagine to try and clear my face up. Now after 4 long months, I am just now taking my last pill. I go to the mirror and I don't see a pimple, scar, or even a red mark on my face. my self-esteem has improved so much. I would definitely recommend it."


"I've only been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 for like 2 weeks now I love it. I started the first day of my cycle, very skeptical at first about birth control in general. But I started my cycle, was two days longer than usual with extremes light bleeding the last two days, I guess you consider that breakthrough bleeding. Other than I have not experienced much side effects which I am so glad about. Other than being very emotional I'm already a ball of tears so it kind of made me extra sad but not to much. One day my feet were swollen...don't know if that's a side effect. But once again nothing serious. I'm hoping my breasts do up a size, or two. Definitely recommend for 1st time birth control."


"This medicine works better than anything else I have taken!!! It is just expensive."


"Tramadol would MILDLY work for my back and knee pain for about a week and then stop.  Oxycodone works best for me and hydrocodone is second.  If it works for your pain, great but my experience is that it does nothing more than ibuprofen or other OTC pain relievers in the long run.  The physical withdrawal from tramadol in my opinion is worse than hydrocodone or oxycodone due to the dual action it has on the brain."


"Ponstel was prescribed for severe period pain due to Fibroids and ovarian cysts.  It was very effetive and I would definitely reccomend it!  But just a cautionary note, this is a costly medication!  I had to pay the highest copay on my prescription insurance.  Get samples from your Doctor if at all possible!"


"I have been taking Cytomel to compliment Synthroid for 2 days and my life has already changed for the better!  I feel alive and my severe sweating and hot flashes have subsided - so far.  I am SO VERY happy now."


"I have dealt with an itching face for several months. I was embarrassed for anyone to see my face. After purchasing numerous over the counter creams, without any results, I decided it was time to see the doctor. Thank God for prednisone...the itching went away and my skin is clear."


"Worked for a while but have to take 2-3 to get to sleep and that's not good"


"Been on Lyrica for 6 months now. 100mg 2x daily. Has worked great for pain relief. Side effects for me include dizziness and blurred vision. Have tried to change to Savella to see if same relief would happen without side effects, but after 3 days off Lyrica started to feel really bad. No weight gain but I do stay very active."


"I realize the insertion experience is different for everyone but let me tell you, I think bikini waxes are three times as painful as a Skyla insertion. It was nothing more than a period cramp sensation followed by a sharp pinch - all of lasting around 5-8 seconds. The worst part were the cramps that followed afterwards for a day but nothing a heating pad and some Advil couldn't resolve. I am now on my second day and the cramps have subsided almost completely. I just wanted to write this review because there are SO many horror stories out there and I believe those are the exceptions, not the norm, for the Skyla IUD insertion process. Overall, I am very pleased so far!"


"I've been on the generic sertraline 50mg for about two weeks , and I feel

So much better . I was very depressed , irritable , had insomnia and felt like a total failure at life . I had a little diarrhea at first, but then I also have IBSD so I wasn't surprised . After a few days that stopped . I feel like my Old self again , like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders . I'm even singing again , I haven't done that in about a year . I was in denial for a long time , I told myself I could handle the depression -I was wrong . This is the first anti-depressant I've been on and I am very pleased with how much it has helped me."


"The taste reminds me of Triaminic. Gross! Sucked on a lemon after each gulp. Literally, within 10 minutes, I was in the bathroom and still am. No cramping, little nauseous, and it's flowing like a faucet. Will drink (hopefully) second bottle at 8am tomorrow."


"I have been on Spironolactone 50 mg a day now since August 2016. After being blessed with clear skin the majority of my adult years, I suddenly was stricken with deep, painful acne, all over my  checks, mouth and forehead. I originally tried doxy for three months with little to no success. Transitioning to Spiro was the best thing I ever did. Warning: It WILL get worse before it gets better!!! My skin was the worst it ever was the first two weeks starting it. But it slowly started clearing (noticable results within 2 months), and now after 6 months my skin is the best it's been in years! I take this in conjunction with clindamyacin (which I've been on for 10 years). Stick with it!!! It WILL get better!"


"I've been on Copaxone since February 2001. I have not had a major exacerbation during that time. Previously, I had a major exacerbation approx every 5 years. The minor exacerbations I now have are very mild. Initally, I had bad site reaction - burning like a wasp sting for about half an hour, but this past. I did have one chest pain episode, but none since. Otherwise, no side effects - though I do have a bleeding "rogue blood vessel" coming through scar tissue in one eye (retina). This is from a blow 10 years ago, but I wonder if Copaxone may have exacerbated this. I have been on 20mg, only this week going onto 40mg."


"Seriously, how can this stuff be on the market with all these complaints? Terrible, horrible itching, burning and pain. No sleep here."


"Began Nexterone (amiodarone) IV in the hospital.   I was taken off of it, but went into afib again, so they reinstated it.  Then they started me on it orally, again went into afib so they put me back on the IV.   Was discharged (after 4 weeks in the hospital intensive care ward for tachycardia/afib; sepsis; pneumonia; pancreatitis, MRSA, and then renal failure most likely as a result of all the antibiotics/meds for every thing else).  Taking 200 mgs per day and heart rate has been stable for the three weeks I've been out of the hospital (and on dialysis 3 days per week).   The potential side effects (lung scarring, liver and thyroid issues, and eyesight issues-which I think I am already developing) are extremely scary.  Would like to DC ."


"I think I waited to long to start taking this medication. I too along with many others was against "happy pills" as I used to call them, I started having anxiety attacks at work and my emotions were starting to bleed into every aspect of my life, I had to do something. Depression is sneaky... you don't realize what its doing to you until you  can step out of it and take a breath a real clear minded breath. That what Celexa has been for me. It made me soo tired at the beginning and I didn't eat much, but after about a week I noticed I was not crying all day like before. I cant say I feel super happy all the time but I notice that I am not as sad  and I have energy to do more than lay on the couch on the weekends!"


"I was given Gabapentin to try for hot flashes. It works at night more than I ever hoped for. Day time it helps quite a bit. Along with the hot flashes it stopped my anxiety and panic attacks. I can now sleep."


"My dr wanted to give me Cipro or Bactrim but since I have a pill complex, I asked for something smaller. He prescribed Macrobid and I came to this site to apparently scare myself before taking it. Well I'm here to tell you that this antibiotic was GREAT! As someone who has colitis and constant headaches, both triggered by virtually anything, neither were affected by this drug. I experienced zero side effects. I took 100mg twice a day for 5 days. I would take 1 capsule right after breakfast and 1 capsule right after dinner so it was always accompanying a meal. 5 days later, urine culture came back negative. This worked great for me! I didn't start feeling pain relief til day 4 though. Hang in there and take with meals."


"I had been taking oral contraceptive for about 6 years and using proactive; my acne was under control. About 1 year ago, I stopped taking the pill and my skin went absolutely crazy! I had horrible acne.. It was awful. I spent so much $ on OTC creams and washes with no improvement. Finally, I went to the dermatologist and she prescribed a 60 day oral antibiotic, adapelene 2% gel applied once daily, and cleanse with only cetephil. I used this combo as directed for about 2 months with a small amount of improvement. This is the routine that ended up giving me the best skin I've ever had: no antibiotic, adapelene 2x per day, cetephil make-up remover cloths, cetephil cleanser, benzoyl peroxide as spot treatment. Life is good!"


"I've had migraines (about 4-6 times a month) since early puberty, and after a few hospital visits my mother finally took me to a specialist and got a sumatriptan prescription. It has greatly improved my quality of life. It kicks in after about 40 minutes for me (longer than advertised, but I'm on a small dosage due to my small frame). It does leave me feeling heavy and numb, and it has made me nauseated on occasion. It's uncomfortable, but much better than a migraine."


"The Skyla IUD was the first form of birth control I've used. I typically cramp very bad on my period, but after getting Skyla especially after the insertion with the help of ibuprofen I did not cramp at all. Pain during the insertion was pretty intense but it did not last long at all. I would highly recommend the Skyla IUD!"


"This is absolutely amazing, After about 1 3/4 years of sweating I finally had enough when I would sweat through hoodies with huge stains. Non of my friends would say anything about it but my mom (who also has it) finally called my pediatrician and got a prescription. I put it on the first night and it burned alot, but it's nothing unbearable. The next day sweat free. Some days I would forget to put it on at night and go through the day with little to no sweat at all. Not even sweating through my clothes. I still put it on every night just to be safe but it really works!
I would recommend getting this product. Some people say it doesn't protect against smell but it does for me. The only problems is a little itching during the day and a rash."


"I tried Viagra last night for the first time and was surprised by how effectively it worked. I am 59 and achieved the strongest erection I have had in years. Now I am experiencing the headache and eyestrain described, but having sex like a teenager was worth it."


"It is the only drug that works for me.  I am allergic to many antibiotics but have had no problem with this one."


"I bled from my rectum after using this medicine. I had stomach cramps as well. I recommend that you never use this medicine unless you want to be in severe pain."


"PTSD has been horrific.  I starting this new treatment has without question saved my life all medication needs  a little bit of will to get better so I started yoga classes and read a lot of self help books and with the medication as a crutch I'm getting the help I need."


"Was on 150mg for three weeks then went up to 300mg for a week.  Had to stop taking it.  Had a weird experience where I was standing beside a running shower; just standing there in a daze.  Not for like 10 seconds, but standing there, standing there...   That was the last time I took them, now on Lexapro."


"WOW! started taking it four years ago and it helped me within a week.  Recently, I just had a tough time and upped my dosage from 20 to 30mg.   Within one week I started to feel better.  My side effects are always based on a nauseous feeling that goes away roughly a week or so after ( DRINKING MILK WITH THE PILL SEEMS TO KNOCK THE SIDE EFFECTS OUT!)

each day you will begin to feel better!"


"I would recommend this to everyone,
My experience on the shot has been great. This is about my 9th month now and I never had to deal with any crazy side effects like weight gain, acne, etc.
However, In the first 3 months I did have mood swings but they were never worse than any normal mood swings (for example period mood swings.) and I never got my period, bleeding, or any sporting till 6 months after I started the shot! And even then.. My period was very light and quick. Be sure to drink a lot of milk or eat dairy to replace the calcium that gets stripped from your body by taking the shot. If you don't replace your calcium, your bones can become weak or you can experience more side effects. Just take care of yourself :)"


"Using Campral for 3 days now, unbelieveable! I have been drinking for 22 years nearly every day, I am astounded that Campral is not advertised in the same way as Champix for smoking. A very happy, but cautious customer. If you cant stop drinking, try it."


"My migraines are primarily abdominal, but I get daily 'tension" type headaches as well.   But my nausea "attacks" are totally debilitating and the headaches get more so every day.  I took Topamax starting at 25 mgs then increased. I noticed it really helping my symptoms, way less nausea, headaches stopped and I could sleep well.   Unfortunately, I am one of the people who react with a rare side effect of an acute onset closed angle glaucoma attack and my vision got very blurry and got so bad I could not see anything but blobs if it was more that 12 inches from my face. If you get blurred vision go to the ER and show them the letter from the Topamax website, because ER had never heard of that reaction.  I gave it a 5 because it worked until then."


"For years I have been struggling with constant Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder with periods of deep depression. I finally stopped trying to "put up with it" and blaming myself, and went on Cipralex. I started at 5mg and I am at 20 now. The first few days, I had a weird mixture of dry mouth and hypersalivation, felt fuzzy, lethargic, and SO hungry for salty/greasy food.  The unpleasant effects have subsided although I do sometimes feel extra sleepy still. My Generalized Anxiety Disorder has been reduced drastically, I no longer ruminate and obsess to the point of feeling paralyzed, when worries come up I can let them go with greater ease and do what I need to do. HOWEVER my OCD (skin picking) has not improved at all, which is strange!"


"Doseage: 5mg, 6 times a day

PRO: That's a lot of valium.  It helps some (6 of 10) with anxiety and cuts back my "plugged into an electric socket feeling.  Helps get to sleep. It is a great muscle relaxer and helps a great deal with my muscle spasms.  Don't know what I'd do without it.

CON:  Makes me sleepy.  I have to be careful to take the drug on schedule.  Otherwise I can wind up with too much in my system at once.  Dangerous when driving.  You cannot drink alcohol with diazepam.  You don't just get sleepy; You pass out without warning.  I mean pass out. Maybe OK at home in bed.  Really bad any where else."


"Been on Suboxone for almost 3 and 1/2 years after an 80  day oxycodone habit or anything else. Been on it for too long and am at 4mg's a day. Been clean for all 3 1/2 years."


"I have severe nasal congestion my entire life. Have tried every nasal spray pill or drop on the market. This works better than any of them."


"For the first 3 months everything was dandy until I found out that in those 3 months I got pregnant I got this to prevent anything like that happen, however my nurse didn't inform me that certain pills can reduce its efficiency, I ended up having a miscarriage.
So I put that failure down to lack of knowledge, as time went on I had 2 months of no period then an entire month of bleeding. I've been getting spots and hot flushes caused by this, not to mention I've suffered from severe depression and anxiety caused by the implanon which caused me to stop eating because I had constant knots in my stomach and despite this no eating I've went up 3 dress sizes!
I suggest getting the 3 month jab and seeing your reaction it may not be horrible for everyone."


"I have suffered with severe headache and migraine since being a child. About 6 years ago I was put on propranolol a low dose which didn't help, it was then increased and still I noticed no change. Over the years I have tried all sorts of medication but non that seem to keep the headaches at bay permanently. I was back at the Dr a month ago and was put back on propranolol 40mg 3x daily. Since taking it this time my headaches have been worse, I am now about 16 days in to a permanent headache, sometimes its just a 1 on the pain scale and sometimes a 10 but its always there. Does anyone know of any others I can ask to try, propranolol seems to be the thing they relying on but as it may work for other people it isn't for me :("


"Having pain in your bladder ,a lil bit of blood in the urine.  Amoxicillin work's really good on it.  This is the only med that I trust when it comes to U.T.I ;)"


"I never had cysts, just mild breakouts and comedonal acne on my forehead and BARELY on my cheeks or on my chin. I can't believe how much I took my skin for granted. I asked my pediatrician for a medication to help my skin before freshman year. Wow. My doctor gave me epiduo and by 8 weeks I knew epiduo wasn't working for me. I had cystic acne on my cheeks, which I've literally never had before in my life. it wasn't something I've ever been used to. My right cheek, which used to be the worst, it literally completely cleared after this 12 weeks, BUT I paid the price. my purge period was 5 times worse than everyone else's, and much longer. I had about 7-9 cysts on my freaking cheek at a time. Try it out. I have much clearer skin but I paid for it"


"no effects yet"


"Celexa has changed my life in 5 days!  Thanks to a doctor who finally understood what was wrong with me after suffering excruciating physical pain for at least 10 or more years.  I feel lIke a new person.  Have had more energy in the last 5 days than I have for 5 years!  Suffering from some insomnia but I am sure that will go away.  - 51 year old female"


"First one that I have found working for the pain and the inflammation in my knees, elbows, shoulders, etc. I am 36 and I was tested about three weeks ago, but before I was tested, I was already taking Mobic and it worked better than all the other medicines that I was taking for my arthritis. When my test come back it showed that I was full blown with arthritis and borderline rheumatoid arthritis. "


"I've been taking 200 mg. Lamictil for the last 2.5 months in combo with 60 mg. Cymbalta. I feel much less manic than before Lamictil but feel Cymbalta is too activating  & makes me manic. Seeing my shrink soon to sort it out."


"I've only used it one night so far (over the fears of having sleep apnea, and waking when I can't breathe, a pill to keep me asleep just kind of scared me but walking around sleepier and sleepier each day, I caved.  True benefits I don't know yet, but I do know last night was the first night I slept over 8 hours STRAIGHT.  My Machine says I still had my sleep apnea events, but they seem about the same as normal."


"This is my first time using birth control pills, and it was for 2 reasons: preventing pregnancy and reducing forehead acne that always worsened around ovulation.
I've been taking Tricira Lo (generic brand) for the past 7 1/2 weeks.
Initially, I found myself more tearful, but that settled down after 4 weeks. I had one instance of a headache & nausea during the first 4 weeks; haven't experienced either since.
There's been ~5lb weight gain and some increase in breast size (not by a full cup though).
I haven't noticed a significant difference in my forehead acne. It's still an issue for me, especially during the 3rd & 4th (placebo) weeks of the pack. I think this may be because hormonal acne more often presents on the cheeks/chin."


"I've been on Reclipsen for about a month now. This is my first oral contraceptive. I love this birth control. I used to have SEVERE cystic acne but this stuff keeps my skin so clear. Another thing I love about Reclipsen is that is levels out my mood and I don't have mood swings like I used to. Also I've noticed since switching I've been in the "mood" way more. I did gain 5 pounds but no complaints here! I am very thin and the weight has filled out my body! My breasts are so much perkier and larger, which is a plus for me! I also think this made my hair grow. I've had a sudden growth in my hair and I have done nothing different to it. Only downside is it causes me to lightly bleed."


"I'm 31 years old, my husband and I decided we are not ganna have a baby in the next 5 years and we are not fan of condoms, so I got the IUD. I chose Paragard for no hormones. The doc told me it causes some cramps but it goes away after some months.I got it in October 2016. I've been miserable since then. I suddenly changed to a weak fragile person devastated to do even regular daily tasks. The sharp pain suddenly started and went to my legs. Horrible pain. Ultrasound and x ray showed its perfectly placed! The pain made my doctor and I confused and I even took the cancer tests. The pain got worse with activities and,turning on. Completely ruined my sex life. I gave up and took it out after 3 months, everything is back to normal! Not worth it"


"I have been on this medication since August when I had to get my Mirena IUD removed. I had never been on the pill before this so I was nervous about its effectiveness, but it has been wonderful so far! I have had no weight gain, no acne, no crazy mood swings... I have had my period regularly when I was supposed to on the white/brown pills. Last month I didn't get my period for the first two white pills and got very worried, but I had a very light period on the two brown pill days. I have slight breast tenderness sometimes, but nothing major. It is great that it is such a low dose of estrogen, which significantly lowers the risk of blood clots.I would highly recommend this medication to anyone looking for a great birth control."


"I went to the hospital Tuesday night because of stomach pain an I felt nauseous. They told me I had a bad UTI and some of the infection was in my kidneys that's why I was so nauseous so they prescribed me cipro I have 500 mg 20 tabs it say take one tablet twice a day but it lack to say how many hrs apart. This has been my worst experience ever!!! An I really hate this drug . Every time I take it I'm throwing up I've been able to eat a VERY LITTLE more than I was but I haven't really eaten for the past 4 days I been throwing up everything .It makes my stomach hurt an makes it hard for me to fall asleep. I have another week worth of pills but  I'd rather die than take these pills. Also is it best to eat b4."


"I was a 2 pack per day person. Awesome. I quit smoking in 3 days and have been smoke free for 7 months. I would have died from cigarettes if I did not quit. I really feel that Chantix is the reason I quit. You have to want to quit and you still have to try. Chantix just makes it easier. Remember, a craving will never last more than 2 minutes. I will never be a smoker again."


"I have had a YI for about a week, my friend recommended I should try Monistat.. I went to rite aid today & bought it for $18!! I just used it about 40 mins ago & as soon as it was done it started burning worse than it was before, I am in so much pain now. I wish I would have read these reviews before I used this product. :("


"I am a male age 30 and I was diagnosed with Pan Colitis 3 years ago. Once I changed my diet (no lactose, less fast food, no sodas) it has seemed to be only confined to my left side. I have had a few flare ups each year but have always used prednisone each time. This works great for my UC but makes me a grump, I gain weight, get acne, etc. Each time (3-4 times) I have tried Asacol or Lialda it flushes out my colon with severe diarrhea to the point it is fluid only and each time I have stopped taking it because of the adverse reactions. Currently I am in a flare to the point of seeing blood and I do not want to have to start on prednisone again. So now I am on day 5 of taking Lialda and the diarrhea has been less each day. Hopefully I will stop seeing blood soon."


"I've been on it for 2 weeks now and paired with a low calorie diet, have lost 15 lbs. It does curb your appetite, or... I should say it makes you have no appetite. It was a weird feeling at first, to not be interested or obsessed over whats for breakfast/lunch/dinner. I'm almost never hungry anymore, and I generally only eat meals as a necessity now.

I sometimes get dizzy, but its hard to tell if this is from Contrave or something else. I drink a glass of water and it goes away. So, it could very well be unrelated to contrave.

The only negative side effect I experience is the inability to fall asleep at night.

Will update this as needed as I increase dosage each month."


"OMG! What a life saver I have had migraines for years and the seem to be sinus related more often then not I wake up in the middle of the night so stuffed up I can't breath and my headache begins, a breath rite helps a little. But I have tried just about everything, Claritin, Allegra, Zyrtec, Advil & Tylenol Sinus, Nasacort, Rhino (something) and many others and nothing worked. The Advil Sinus and the old Tylenol sinus helped a little. My ear nose and throat doctor put me on Singular (pill). I bought this after see the commercials stating it blocks 6 types of allergies. Within in 12 to 24 hours I could tell it was helping by 48 hours it was a like a miracle! The pressure in my head, stuffiness, headaches (that were sinus related went away)"


"I was put on Loestrin 24 because of abnormal periods after having my daughters. I did not experience any changes in mood (which is a first for me on birth control). My cup size increased during the first month and has stayed that size. The only negative side effect is that I developed  are two dark spots (Melasma) above my upper lip, which is worsened by exposure to sun. As long as I use sun block, it is not getting worse but it does make me self conscience. Other than that, the pills is regulating me and effective birth control."


"Got sick a good three times during the first week and felt dizzy. Continued to take it for another 2 weeks every morning but it made me drowsy to the point that I had to take a nap everyday. Switched to taking it at night before bed and could not sleep at all. On a positive note I did notice my concentration levels increased a bit but was surprised how I could read an article or a textbook and remember the information I had just read."


"I didn't mind this medicine. I did experience nausea for the first month as which was confirmed by the side effects of this. One thing I have to say is that I became lactose intolerant while on this and it didn't matter what I ate or drank that contained lactose the symptoms for the lactose intolerance were not good. As soon as I went off the medicine I no longer had lactose intolerance."


"I'm on the final week of my 3 pack of Ortho. I haven't had any side effects from this. In the past I've had issues with BC affecting my moods and sex drive, abnormal bleeding and making my hormonal acne even worse. So I'm giving it an 8. Because it's not helping helping with my hormonal acne at all."


"I haven't been taking this medication for long but it's helped so much. Neuro started me off on 300mg at night and now I'm at 600mg at night. It doesn't make me sleepy or drowsy. Before starting gabapentin, I was having migraines just about every day. I started having aphasia and vision changes with my migraines, so I decided to take action. I've only been on it for almost 2 weeks but I've been migraine free and my triggers are no longer triggers at this point, which is fantastic.
I should note it has reduced my appetite but this is not a negative thing."


"OMG! I tried Belsomra for the first time after several years of taken ambien. My doctor told me to try it so I could get off the ambien. Well the first 10 minutes after taken, it I got a horrible and quick pain on the left side of my brain..it was so bad I let out a loud OUCH!  I did not get sleep was up all night and the next day  I did not have to work. My behavior was like someone with narcolepsy up and down all day.  Now I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I hadn't had a cold or cold like symptoms in 10 yrs and after taken Belsomra for 1 day I got sick.  I will never take Belsomra again.  I will go back to ambien.  I contacted the FDA and told them about my side affects."


"I got it to be able to have sex with my boyfriend and because I was told that it stopped your periods I did some research and found that it did in the long term. I got it on June 24 I was fine for 2 1/2 weeks then I got my period on the 14th of July and it's now August 9th. So yes it works as birth control but I'm bleeding all the time!"


"Have been using Taclonex for the past year. No relief from psoriasis from scalp and legs and this is supposed to be the best on the market. Cost is restrictive. "


"I switched off my old birth control because insurance didn't cover it and $80/mo just became too much to handle. My doctor recommended yaz despite the fact my old birth control was completely different hormonally while I didn't gain any weight on yaz I did feel bloated and retained water for the whole week before my period and then the week of my period as well. I was anxious and short tempered I even became violent towards my husband for absolutely no reason. It wasn't until this began that I knew I had to change something I couldnt live like this this is not me at all. I couldnt believe how moody I felt and how it felt like my insides were fighting every time anything would happen. I havent given my new birth control enough time but  we'll see"


"I had psoriasis on about 85% of my body before I started on the Stelara.  I have used virtually all the immunosuppressant medications in the past: Enbrel, Raptiva, Humira, just to name a few.  They all did well for a few months, but always ended up not working.  Even when they were working, I always had patches on my legs and scalp that wouldn't go away.  Not with Stelara.  A week after my first injection, the flakiness was gone, with the red quickly fading to pink.  A month later, I had my second and within 2 weeks all spots were gone.  I have now been on the medication for over a year and am currently completely free of any plague, no redness, no maddening itch.  I go and have an injection every 3 months.  Best medicine ever."


"Works much better than other over the counter medicines. My allergy came back this time of the year, and this year got worse. My sneezing won't stop even to the point I get nosebleed. So I tried Allegra, it did suppressed all the sneezing for hours, however my nose still somewhat congested. When they mean "non-drowsy", they really mean it. I took other over the counter allergy medicines before, which they listed as "non-drowsy", but I constantly found myself falling asleep every now and then."


"Epiduo is the only thing that has worked for me. I had pretty bad acne for two years in highschool. I tried lots of things (proactive) but finally After begging my mom finally purchased epiduo and it was a life saver. For the first month and a half it really dried out my skin and didn't seem to help much at all, but soon after that I saw a complete transformation in my skin. I no longer have acne like I used to, to this day. But even the weeks that I've eaten terribly and slept in my makeup all week (I know I need to stop this). My "acne" is only a few very small pimples that are hardly red. All my friends love it too! Highly recommend this"


"Doc prescribed Taytulla to help regulate my premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). After being on medicine for 11 days, after having very regular periods for years and only spotting 2-3x in my entire life. I had breakthrough bleeding after having my period a week and a half before. I had PMS food cravings, headache, cramps, and mood swings with uncontrollable crying that were off the charts and worse than my "normal PMS" symptoms. In addition to the very depressing erratic mood swings, it exacerbated nerve issues in my spine, created burning down my legs, extreme back pain, which had been under control and feeling GREAT for months, until I began taking medicine. This medicine is AWFUL. Do NOT take if you have any form of mild depression. It also turned my urine brown. Lovely."


"I used to get recurrent urinary tract infections but hadn't had one in 7 years. Just got one and they tried nitrofurantonin but it did nothing. I got Bactrim and the urgency and burning was gone within hours. I don't like taking antibiotics but UTIs are no joke. Bactrim worked for me and thank goodness. I get a little stomach ache but it beats the UTI symptoms!"


"Ambien works well for me, I take 5 mg. Some nights if husband is snoring very loud I need 10 mg. I take it only when needed, like traveling or maybe twice a month. My problem is the next night I will not sleep without Ambien I have to have some wine to relax me, then I'll sleep, next night I am fine."


"I have severe acne so my doctor recommend this product. I have been using it for more than a year now and have had no positive results. For the first month it really burned and I would go to bed wanting to cry, but after my skin adjusted to it. I saw no improvements what so ever. When I told my doctor he said it takes time, but like I said, it's been more than a year now. I am really disappointed I went through all that suffering for nothing."


"A major  rip off

 even with really good insurance  there was a 50 dollar copay! After 6 hours, I was still wide awake

 Not even drowsy

 Got up, cooked, went shopping,  did housework  all day  went to bed at midnight,  tried it again . Sometime 5 hours later I  finally  went to sleep from pure exhaustion. Very dissatisfied."


"I've suffered from YI's over the course of 20 years and have never had the issues I am experiencing now. I used Monistat-1 for the first time 5 days ago and my symptoms have only gotten terribly worse. Intense itching, burning and pain. The ovule is completely different than the usual applicators filled with silky cream. Normally after using the cream, I experience heavy discharge followed by relief. But this time i have actually been in more distress since using the concentrated ovule. My gf said she had the exact same reaction after using the 1 day application and resorted to going back to the 3 day treatment which helped. I'm literally in tears from the itching, burning and pain associated with this hellacious YI."


"Ive been in pain management for 6 years & serious constipation started 2 yrs ago. Linzess & Armitiza did not work. I was stuck using enemas and self manual removal. Awful - and takes time. I have drank 3 Magnesium Citrates with no BM!  Movantik works but insurance won't pay. so I take 1 / week from the few samples I get.  The pain that starts within an hour of Movantik is the worst I've experienced: doubled over at the gut: crying like it could be anER problem. But I am doubtful of ERs so I try to make myself comfortable at home while I empty for 5-24 hours. Bloated completely uncomfortable and must plan to do nothing until the BMs end. do feel a little withdrawal so I take meds. Movantik is my only option Wish it was more gentle."


"I had a gallbladder removal in August 2011 and my weight shot up to 13.4 stones. I have been on these tablets for 3 weeks now and I have lost a staggering 9 pounds. My GP prescribed them to me on a trial basis to see if these would work and yes they have. I have my first weigh in next Tuesday so I'm happy to go back and tell him I've lost weight and hopefully he will prescribe me some more.
I do often get side effects but nothing that I can't handle but it has made me more aware of the foods I should be eating. Exercising. Never did that before and now I do. I do 10 minutes on my Vibro plate am and pm, 20 sit ups am and pm and 10 mins on rowing machine. I also walk from the bus stop to work and back."


"Let me share.. A fee days ago I noticed slight irritation at the top of my vaginal opening. I didn't think to much of it as I had changed my cleaning habits and was sure I washed way to hard and to much.. The next day it was itching.no discharge no odor but itching.. I got some anti itch cream and hoped for the best.. Today comes and it's not better but now I have discharge and that's when I knew.. It was a yeast infection..oh goody.. I was already very depressed and this just added to my sadness.. Any who I went and grabbed monistat 3..I've read all the reviews and I was nervous but hey.. I figured no pain no gain.. I am currently lying in bed.. It's been 8 minutes since insertion.. I feel a tingle but I also used the cortisone no pain..yet"


"I have suffered from migraines for 32 years. Have taken several medications and combinations of said meds prescribed by my physician to combine. This past year has been a mild one as far as migraines for me but have had around 13 I guess and we tried Imitrex. I can say that it has worked for me. My migraines are triggered by the changes in barometric pressure due to weather so I almost always have them in spring and autumn."


"This medicine saved my life. I have panic disorder and a mild heart condition. When I was first diagnosed with my heart condition I could not leave the house for fear something would happen to me  - I guess agoraphobia set in. This medicine stopped my heart from beating rapidly and calmed me down together with my other medicines. A wonderful medicine."


"Ok. First off... Just an observation. Apparently, mental illness must occur more frequently with those of higher intelligence. Now. To review. Been on 100 mg for a week. Feeling like I'm on cocaine. Must fire/block the same receptors. A difficulty? I think not. Was on Prozac for 15 yrs off and on. Messed with my libido so badly, I truly believe it was a real factor in the breakdown of my marriage. So far, so good. I love this medicine."


"I've been on and off this pill for about a year if not two years. It's been one of the better birth controls I've taken up until the most recent time I had a two month gap in between packets due to my insurance. My symptoms have been so off it's kinda scary. I've lost weight since taking the pill again but I've been bleeding for about 2 weeks, I've been feeling very anxious and depressed almost. I'm not too sure if it's all to blame on the pill or maybe my new job? But this is the first time I've felt this way. Also a loss of appetite, I'll start eating a meal and lose interest about halfway through or get a nauseous feeling. I've also noticed that my energy levels are very low"


"My skin got really better, got some irritation earlier, stopped using it and resumed the treatment again. Works!"


"I am in the middle of week 3.  I have lost 11 pounds and am thrilled.  I had no side effects except a little constipation.  I was feeling great.  Then 2 days ago I noticed my jaw clenching up.  I felt like I was grinding my teeth.  Then the last time I had this happen to me I was on Buproprion.  Same drug in this Contrave.  By the next day I was feeling jittery, clenched jaw and a little spacey.  Not feeling quite right at all.  Kind of nervous and almost feeling like I shouldn't be driving.  If I was busy I didn't notice it.  But when I was still it was terrible.  I am so sad, I think I am going to have to quit taking it.  I have had such good results and it was really helping me with my cravings.  I just was not hungry."


"I used Lexapro for a short time because after about a week, I found that I lost all sensation of touch.  I could stick my hand under hot running water and I couldn't tell you just by touch its general temperature.  Obviously, the rising steam gave a clue.  But I immediately requested to be taken off of it.  When I told my doctor, she thought I was lying.  Wish I could have tried it longer but I prefer not being physically numb."


"I took sertraline (zoloft) for 4 days before quitting it. The first day I felt very tired and slightly nauseous. After that I was having very loose stools, headaches, drowsiness, dizziness, and overall sense of just not being myself. Today I had my first full blown panic attack in almost 2 years (I've been on clonazepam since my last panic attack). I know people always say to keep pushing through the side effects but I couldn't. I had to leave work and I went home and cried for hours. I felt like a complete zombie for the last 3 days. Obviously this drug effects everyone differently but for me, it was absolute hell. :("


"I have been taking triptans on and off over the past 7 years even tho I favour homeopathic and naturopathic medicine over prescriptions drugs, but was desperate as suddenly getting migraines after menopause for the first time! After finally suffering rebound headaches as my Dr. did not warn me, I couldn't sleep or was being woken up with pain, so asked for tylenol 3 for the pain and after taking one a day solely for only 2 weeks, I was off the triptans, it felt like a miracle! However, once over the hurdle, don't take codeine for a long time as that can cause rebound headaches as well, but it got me thru!!"


"I love this medicine. It has helped me stopped smoking plus it gives me much needed energy. No side effects."


"I am an adult, 54 years old, who was diagnosed with Adult ADD two years ago.  Adderall XR has made a huge difference in my quality of life.  I now have the ability to organize my day and focus on what I need to get done.  I fell very calm and can filter out all unecessary distractions.  I don't procrastinate like I use to whic has eliminated the unecessary anxioty in my life.  I work closely with my doctor to make sure that I am on the right dosage. i wish I had known about this 45 years ago!"


"I was TERRIFIED after reading all of these reviews. I used to suffer from panic attacks but those under control.....without meds. Anyway, I debated and googled and called my docs office and finally my pharmacy before finally deciding to take them. I needed all my questions answered before doing so. All is good! I ate a carb dense meal, drank approx 1 liter of water and took a probiotic all approx 2 hours before taking the medication....after about an hour I ate a small amount more. I barely felt a thing a slight cramp and maybe a wave of nausea that lasted for about 20 minutes. Nothing too intense, I would say  3 out of a 10 for both. Well I am glad I sucked it up and decided to take the meds to get better!"


"I'm a 44 yr. old female and I've taken 50mg of Zoloft for 3 weeks now. I'm grateful for it. It's helped depression, OCD, PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks, terrible thoughts, mood swings, and my urge to drink alcohol. The biggest relief of all is that it's helped my PMDD! I felt a weird feeling in my legs, at night, for a bit, but that seems to have gone away a few nights ago. I have dry mouth and chew gum to help. I feel lifted, happier, calmer, make better choices and feel clearer in my thought process and more alert and aware. Pre-menopause/PMDD, can cause you to feel like your going crazy...you're NOT, it is HORMONAL. Ask your doctor about this! Wish I had 4 yrs ago, it is working for me and maybe it can help others. Good luck!"


"I am a 68 year old Vietnam veteran that has been exposed to Agent Orange and I have been plagued with atopic dermatitis for many, many years and the itching has gotten progressively worse. I was tested recently at NY CPH and found to also have a severe allergy to Ultraviolet B sunlight.
I have been on dupixent for one month and the results are amazing. I wish that this medication was available 40 years ago so that I did not suffer as I have. Arms, legs, back and face are all clear and thankfully the itching is all but gone. Have experienced minor eye irritation at outset but that too has cleared up. Hope is eternal and wish that there are no long term affects from the medication. I too hope that I will not be on long term maintenance."


"Worked fast"


"So far, I love this birth control method. I have had some light spotting here and there and not knowing when to expect a period can be a pain, but the positives outweigh the negatives. I was worried about gaining weight or breaking out but I've experienced neither. Give it a try and see how your body responds."


"I was on Synthroid and Cytomel for many years but my symptoms were never alleviated until I started Nature-Throid.  I'm most pleased that my depression and foggy headiness were gone shortly after starting it.  I continue to see improvements in my energy levels and weight loss."


"Having taken this vile, awful-tasting garbage growing up to treat my asthma, I would say it's about as effective as a placebo. It did absolutely nothing for my asthmatic issues. If one can avoid taking this, all the better. "


"OK I've been undiagnosed and put on anti anxietys and just left with no review of meds for 18 years. I have managed to change drs or let them ignore me or masked symptoms as I myself was a mental health nurse so unconsciously or maybe again I maybe ignored my behaviour. Anyway what I'm saying is I've tried a lot prescribed a lot and have to admit until 3 years ago when I started a new anxiety med and seeing a Dr who I didn't have to keep explaining often wrongly. So sertraline started making me clearer in thought and helped my recovery to start. I begged the dr to look at the cycles too look at the patterns of highs lows. And finally I was put on quintiapine! I can sleep when I need to at normal times and have to admit it changed my bi polar."


"I have had a very hard time with Mirena. I have had it since May 2009, 18 months ago. The insertion was very painful - I could hardly catch my breath, and felt dizzy and nauseous afterwards. For the first year, I bled ridiculously. I would get maybe a week or 10 days between extremely heavy periods. The most frustrating part was that I called my doctor's office several times, only to be told that while my experience wasn't typical, I had to give it more time. I wanted to have it taken out, but kept hoping that things might get better. I still have it in. My periods are a little more normal now, but start really early with spotting for days before the regular flow starts. It certainly hasn't stopped my periods."


"Great medicine for motivation and getting your life in order. Thoughts are clearer now and I am wondering what my life would have been like if I started the therapy sooner. Have been taking 70mg daily for approx. 7 months. One drawback I have experienced is occasional impulsive behavior linked I believe to over confidence."


"At first, my stomach was sensitive to certain foods, as time went on it was everything I ate. The gas, aching, pains, making weird noises, running to the bathroom. I had tried many over the counter and prescription medicines, NOTHING worked. Finally, I switched doctors and he suggested this medication. I take it everyday, twice a day and it literally changed my life. I would suggest this medication to anyone with irritable bowel syndrome."


"I got the mirena placed last Friday and it was excruciatingly painful and I have been bleeding heavily and cramping since. I am thinking of going to the hospital to have it removed as it is the holidays."


"About two-three months ago I was prescribed Cymbalta for my anxiety problems (EXTREME NERVOUSNESS, nervous habits, and constant worrying). I took Cymbalta for about three-four weeks and absolutely HATED it! It made me feel horrible so I asked the doctor to prescribe me something different. He started me off on 35 mg of Effexor. I have to say, this medicine at first wasn't all that great either. For the first four to five days I was extremely angry and annoyed about EVERYTHING! I thought it was going to be hopeless but finally the Effexor got better and now I'm on 75 mg a day. My mind is not constantly racing nearly as much as it used to. Every now and then when I start to have panic attacks I will have to take either o.5/1 mg of Ativan to calm me."


"I had a synvisc one injection in both knees about a week ago. Initially, I was told to expect pain and swelling for the first 48 hrs. So, I took it easy and stayed off me feet.  As the week went on, the pain and swelling progressed. Exactly 7 days later, I ended up in the ER with excruciating pain , swelling and stiffness. The doctors removed 110cc's of fluid from my left knee alone. I was later released and told to follow up with my physician .To date, I am still in continuos pain and have difficulty walking. I wish I had never done this."


"I'm 28 years old and have never been on birth control before, have never given birth and have never been on medication for a long period of time. I've had mine since March and has been very effective birth control hands down. But as soon as my new health insurance kicks in, I'm getting this thing removed. I have had 0 sex drive since I got this thing put in. My boyfriend and I used to have sex about 4 times a week and now it's down to maybe once a month if I don't have a yeast infection. I have had 13 infections since March. I've become abnormally hormonal. I haven't gotten my period either. I don't recommend based solely on the side effects."


"Ok so I first started experiencing what felt like minor itching and the onset of a YI.l a few weeks ago. I have only had YI's after antibiotics and I am a firm believer in probiotics so I thought it was rather odd. I grabbed one of these in hopes that it would be a quick fix and BOY was I in for a ride on Hell's Chu-Chu train! At first, it worked fine. But it didn't cure the YI. I went to the doc yesterday to get Diflucan but decided to use the topical cream as temporary external relief while the script ran its course. I put the cream on about 20 mins ago and have been wallowing in pain since. This is so much worse than the minor itching. I would literally rather take a bullet and die!!! My vag feels like it was attacked by a wasps nest!"


"I tried the Traumeel another user suggested.  It did nothing to help with the pain.  The only relief I have found so far is Tylenol, Extra Strength and Aquaphor once everything has been pulled to the surface.  Of course keeping the affected areas uncovered is a huge help.  I sleep on a beach towel over my sheets so the shedding and peeling are "contained".  It's the only way I don't itch throughout the night and even if I do, the roughness of the towel helps to get it off the skin.  Hope this helps. "


"I was pretty scared to get my Mirena in after reading reviews on it, but I have to say personally that I really liked the Mirena. I got mine put in two weeks ago and yes the procedure was very painful since I am 18 and never had any kids. I would recommend taking advill extra strength gel caps, those seem to work the best for me. Hours after I got mine done I was in a bunch if pain. I had really bad cramps, fever and I was puking which was not fun at all. But the next day all the pain went away and I felt like myself again. I only bled for three days after getting it in then it completely went away and I am in no more pain! I am able to have sex with my bf normally, and the only side effects I endured was loss of appetite."


"I have been taking it for 15 years and no major side effects. Even took it while pregnant. The doctors recommended as a safe medicine to control seizure and my baby was fine and I was fine. Thank God!"


"I was skeptical at first, considering that this was a generic version of the Plan B, even though my pharmacist assured me it did the exact same things and had the exact same ingredients, and the amount of bad reviews but it works!!! I took it the same day of having unprotected sex and a week and a couple days later my period came on. Just stay calm and try not to stress it'll most likely work!!!"


"Continued: I experienced some breast tenderness and slight breast growth (I ain't complaining about that) I'm currently in my second pack and experiencing no side effects at all! I am very happy with this medication and impressed with how well it worked out for me despite all the negative reviews. Don't let the reviews frighten you, everyone's BODY'S are different so try it out for yourself!! :) good luck"


"I was on adderall for about 10 years after I lost too much weight on Dexatrin. I began when I was about 10 and went all the way up to 40-60 mg a day, depending on how I felt. I was great for focus, but I definitely had sweaty pits, which I find really annoying. After Adderall stopped working, I switched to Concerta for 3 years, then to VyvanSe, which was incredible. All of these medications, though, made me feel like a schizo. Because I started so young, I got used to the feelings, but I would be a robot when I was on them, and coming down, irritable until I ate, then crazy hyper. Adderall did everything it was supposed to do, and because of it I was able to get into a great boarding school, great college, and now grad school."


"I was on the patch after my second child. In the past I would have a hard time remembering to take my pill everyday so I thought this seemed like a great alternative. After 3-4 months I had unexplained joint pain that started in 1 leg and then both legs. It became so bad that it was difficult to walk. I was so scared that I had rheumatoid arthritis. I saw my MD and she had me do blood work. My blood work came back fine. I was so happy-but still why the pain? My MD sent me to an orthopedic MD. He said I have flat feet and gave me shoe inserts. I did not use them they were uncomfortable and bulky. My husband suggested I get off the patch and see if that helps. I stopped the patch and the pain went away completely, Coincidence? "


"I wanted to say I had high hopes for this pill. I was on Alesse before Yaz. It was great at first but then Alesse started to make me depressed after 5 months. My doctor prescribed Yaz. Usually I'm very cheerful and happy, especially these days when NOTHING IS WRONG. Day 1 on Yaz I started to have anxiety and panic attacks about every little thing. Day 2 I would cry for no reason and felt anxious all day, if I wasn't crying it was because I was distracting myself from the bad thoughts that kept creeping up on me. Day 3 I couldn't be alone without freaking out, just panic attacks. I can't function like this!!"


"I've had my liletta for almost 3 months now and everything is great. The insertion process isn't pleasant but it was pretty quick. I'd say a 4 or 5 on a scale from 1-10 and but just for a minute. I had a lot of cramping afterward for several days and I felt light headed after the procedure (eat something before, take 800 mg of ibuprofen & stay hydrated!)

I have had some irregular bleeding but it's been light & infrequent. Definitely manageable. I love having birth control that I don't have to think about! The only negative side effect that I've noticed is that my skin is more oily than before when I was on the pill."


"No side effects at first. On 7 day treatment 2 times a day. By day 5 I noticed I've had severe insomnia, extremely dry nose, headachey, general feeling of being unwell. But infection felt cured so that's good. Don't swallow toothpaste like another reviewer suggested, just try to put way back in your mouth to swallow it fastest. Take with food! It's not good for people to swallow toothpaste 2 times a day. Stomach upset on day 5 as well. More like bad indigestion and always hungry even though I ate. But with only three pills left i'm determined to finish treatment. If it doesn't work for you and you are trying to treat bv even pregnant ask of you can try the vaginal gel if you can't take the side effects of this med."


"I'm 75 and have been taking high blood pressure medicine for about 7 years.  About 5 years ago I started to experience problems maintaining an erection during intercourse.  At that time I started taking Cialis (10 mg) and it worked for me right away.  However, about two years ago, I found that 10 mg was not enough for me to maintain an erection long enough to complete intercourse.  That is when I began to increase the dosage in 5 mg steps until I reached the point where I could feel its effects for a full 36 hours.  I am now at 25 mg and it is working fine. It's effect usually lasts 40 hours or so.  Erection is hard, like it was 50 years ago.  Sometimes a mild headache, but not bad enough to stop me from using Cialis."


"I was put on Desogen after continuous bleeding on Ortho Tri Lo. My practitioner thought I needed higher hormones. Desogen stopped all the spotting but it killed my sex drive. Even when I did have any sexual desire I didn't get the physical affects of arousal like lubrication. It made sex completely unfun even on the rare occasion that I wanted to do it at all. I gained weight while on it but I started it pretty young and I know weight gain is pretty common around that time."


"I've taken this for motion sickness and it absolutely does help with preventing the nausea. When on Dramamine, I will occasionally get a hint of it - or maybe it's just the recognition that certain conditions should be making me sick. Either way, nothing close to what I would experience when I not medicating. The only critique I have to offer is the drowsiness. Desperately wishing to lay down and close my eyes, which can happen on Dramamine, is inconvenient if it's not the type of trip I want to sleep through."


"It has helped clear up my acne, but it also has given me annoying side effects.  Whenever I take it it always makes my stomach make really loud and embarrassing sounds.  It also gives me indigestion and nausea even if I take it with food.  Yet another side effect is that it makes me dizzy and lightheaded.  I've also noticed that my skin is becoming really itchy and even more sensitive than it normally is.  I've been on it for less than a week and it's great that my skin looks kind of decent again, but I don't think I can put up with the side effects anymore, especially the itching, dizziness, and indigestion.  Looks like I'll have to find something else to help with my moderate acne."


"I noticed that a side effect or roxicodone is body aches and pains.  The reason I am taking it is because of chronic, severe body aches and pains, especially in my lower back and legs.  Is the remedy causing the problem?  I guess I will never know because my insurance company will not pre-authorize an MRI."


"I have had immediate results with Vaniqa, reducing coarse hairs on my chin and all hair on upper lip. I also noticed a big reduction in whiteheads and ingrown hairs on my chin. Because I also have had moderate hair loss with thinning on my entire head, I reduced application to once every day. I still had hair coming out on brushing so now down to once every other day."


"Taken for two weeks and have back pain. Stopped taking medicine."

"I had gone through 2 doctors, and 2 different prescriptions before going to a third doctor and getting these drops, They worked great for me, however, I developed another infection in my other ear and so far these drops are doing nothing for the second infection. And as for the cost, I don't know about States... but in Canada it's around $60 without a plan and I got it for $7.47 with my plan."


"Dr is wants me to switch from percocet to metaxalone  for my herniated & stenosis of cervical nerves. It doesn't help with the pain in
my neck or arms. It also makes me dizzy, headachy & I get an upset stomach."


"I was Diagnosed with Hep C 2001 tried one treatment in 2003 which was not effective, ultimately costing Me a Liver Transplant in jan 2011. In 2015 they determined that the Hep C was affecting my new Liver scale wise of O-4, I was at 2. In Jan 2015 they put Me on the Harvoni regiment 12 weeks. As of June 2016 Blood work indicates no more Hep C Virus,  although there are preliminary signs of kidney issues they believe they are temporary.  I Definitely consider the Harvoni a success"


"I wanted this pill to work because I loved lessina for 7 years and then it stopped working for me.   Lutera was close to this pill.   It was horrible for me though.   Week 1 always dry....down there and mouth and eyes.  Week 2 extreme extreme bloating as if I drank a bottle of salt water which would last week 3 as well.....even my fingers and feet were severely swollen.    Some how my sex drive increased though which is the only reason I tried to give it 3 months and gave it 2 stars instead of 1 but the severe bloating, weight gain and high anxiety in the middle of my cycle were unbearable.   Searching for yet another pill :-("


"As we all know birth control has different effects on everyone. As for myself and the 2 other people I know who have taken this pill in the past, it has been nothing short of miserable for all 3 of us. I've never related to others when they talk about mood swings during menstruation until I took this pill. Except now my mood swings can happen at any point and I constantly have anxiety. On top of this I am constantly nauseas, have random chest pain and I've developed the worst acne I've had in my entire life. It's a good day if I have one or less breakouts appear on my chin area.

As stated before, this pill has different effects on everyone but as for me I can honestly say it has impacted my life and not in a good way."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This is the most horrible thing I've ever tried to get down!! It works really well if you can actually bring yourself to swallow it. There has to be something that's not this horrific!"


"I had been on Zoloft (50mg/day) for depression for 8 years. Following a major chronic health condition, a medical specialist was concerned the Zoloft was no longer effective. Increasing to 100md/day was disastrous - head spins, dry dry mouth, vertigo - so a psychiatrist recommended Effexor. Initial 75mg/day then 150mg/day after a fortnight. Initially I was unable to orgasm but this lasted only about a month (same when I started Zoloft). Main concern is weird dreams most nights. The only thing I can tie this to is the Effexor. Have been researching online and it seems I'm not the only one. What a relief to discover - I was becoming quite concerned (and irritated). But hey, I feel soooo much better that I can live with it. I'm smiling again."


"I have been schedule to take this 500mg medication twice a day for 7 days. I was told to drink it with a full glass of water every time I took my dose and it has the worst taste ever. Since I have been on this medication I have not been able to function due to the side effects of headaches and dizziness. I get so sick that I had to take Tylenol and Aleve to relieve the horrible headaches I was getting. But overall score on this medication I would give it an 8."


"This is the biggest mistake I ever made, I have had the implant since Feb 2015 and I was bleeding for 6 months straight with no breaks, it was horrible! The doctors could not give the pill alongside as they said it was too dangerous! Now I am fighting for a doctors appointment in which I have to wait 3 weeks for it to be removed! Would not recommend anyone to get it done!"


"It cleared up my problem in just a few days, the only side effect I got was a headache but other than that I felt great! So Happy my Doctor gave it to me."


"It is amazing! I have tried the Pill and an IUD, both were horrible. I went to my midwife and asked her what are the best options, she recommended the Nexplanon. I was currently on my monthly cycle, which was fine. They cleaned my arm, numbed the area before insertion with a little of medication, then inserted the Nexplanon! VERY quick and easy, also no pain! I had a nasty bruise for 1 1/2 weeks, but that's all. I finished my cycle, had a week of no bleeding, then I had slight spotting for almost a month. Afterwards, no random bleeding, no fatigue, no depression, NO nasty side effects at all!! It has helped a lot with my painful cycles and lightened them up greatly. Overall, I would highly recommend this method of birth control."


"Went from inflammation in almost all my joints to nothing! Am symptom free, playing sports like I used to. Auto-injector is a piece of cake. Only hassles thing is that it must be refrigerated."


"10  years had daily heartburn. Tried every prescription and over the counter medicine with minimal relief. Continued to have daily breakthrough heartburn. Ended up eating tums like candy, then took Dexilant, 5 days later realized I hadnt taken any tums and not one episode of heartburn. This is an awesome new medication!"


"This is a miracle drug.  I am on week 3,  I have lost 12 pounds.  The side effects I am experiencing are dry mouth and a little fatigue.  Let me just say that I was a depressed drunk.  I drank every day.  The medicine contains Buproprian which treats depression and aids in smoking cessation. It also contains an opiate antagonist which blocks the effects of downers like alcohol.  I have tried drinking but I either don't want it or get no effect.  I used to zoom through three tall stiff screwdrivers. Additionally I have had the same pack of cigarettes for 4 days now.  I have my life back.  I look great and my family is so pleased.  Started working from day 1.  I love it."


"Taclonex Susp. has turned my life around! I primarily use it on my scalp and sometimes on the cuticles of my toes. I no longer look like a walking dandruff commercial. In the beginning, I did use it about 3-4 times in a row, at night. Then I'd shampoo with a product that had salicylic acid in it. After about 6 months, I didn't need to use the Taclonex as often. It has become an "as needed" medication for me. When my scalp starts itching, it's time to start using the Taclonex Susp.

I did get a Zero Co-Pay card my derm and have not paid anything for this.

Do have psoriasis everywhere else."


"Helped with my anxiety & my slight depression."


"While I feel like every single person reacts differently to different birth controls, I'd still like to show that for me in particular, Lo Loestrin Fe worked absolutely beautifully. The first few months were a little rough, as expected for a first time birth control user. The only hard part in these two months was that my periods were very heavy and longer than usual; about 7 days as opposed to the normal 4. After my "transition months" I've completely stopped getting periods or any bleeding for the past 4 months now, and it has been great. I have no mood swings, acne, weight gain, headaches, nausea, etc. This being said, everyone reacts differently. Personally, I'm in love with everything except for the price ($250/mo) which is why I have to switch."


"The base knuckle of my index finger has been sore for a year. XRAYs showed no arthritis so my doctor can't figure out what's wrong with my finger. I tried using the Voltaren Gel on it and it helps tremendously. The pain goes away, but unfortunately it comes back when I stop using the gel. I am so glad I found something to help with the pain, but I'm disappointed that it's not permanent relief. I don't want to rely on medicine to treat pain - I wish it would just go away."


"This was the first pill my specialist me on for PCOS and EXTREMELY irregular cycles. A few days before I went in for him to see him I was spotting. While taking this pill, I have never stopped bleeding. The only time I stopped bleeding was when I was on the 2nd to last sugar pill of the 1st pack, and I started bleeding again a week after starting the active pills again. So obviously these pills weren't for me. Even after taking 2 a day for a week as told to do so by my doctor, hasn't COMPLETELY stopped the spotting. It's still very light. He's put me on Necon 1/50 now, and to take 2 pills as well for a week and to call him back to see if it helped. I hope this doesn't reek havoc on my body taking this much estrogen"


"I have suffered from irritable bowel syndrome-constipation for 16 years and I had tried just about everything on the market. I finally gave up and after a few years of having nothing my new doctor gave me Linzess. I was sure it would be like most of the others but it worked right away and has continued to work for 3 months. I love it. Thank you to the pharmaceutical company for this product. My bloating and bad cramps have gone away. I did have to change how I take it, it says to take 30 minutes before I eat but I take it after I have eaten some of my meal because it seems to work better. I will say that you must be near a bathroom when the urge to go hits because you can't hold off."


"Highly addictive. After about 2 weeks dose must increase to achieve same result. Not really good for chronic pain. Ruined my life....."


"I absolutely love Nexplanon! Ladies, at first I was super hesitant but I had to get off the Trinessa birth control because it caused me too much bloating and I was miserable 3 weeks out of the month. I was so excited to get the implant but the reviews I read freaked me out. The process was super easy and fast. The most uncomfortable part was the numbing process (it stung a bit). I didn't feel the implant insertion at all. There was bruising for about a week and it itched quite a bit but it went away after a week once it was fairly healed. As far as side effects, I felt a bit moody for about 2 weeks and I had a headache for a few days when I first got the implant. I've had ZERO bleeding and NO weight gain."


"I have had constipation ALL my life and I'm 50. I've tried everything. And I mean everything. I've had slow transit test which proved I have a sluggish gut.  The Doc recommended ducolax so I only take one and by the morning I'm going. I'm now taking then every third night. As that's the only thing what shifts it. I have no cramps no pains nothing. I've been reading all these comments. Some I've never had those experiences but I have never taken 3 or been recommended 3... So my advice would be one if you don't go take one next night. Also Doc recommended probiotics from health store AMAZING. Hope this helps guys.."


"I have limited experience with any other Blood Pressure medications but reading the comments I see the patterns I've experienced on Bystolic (10mg before bed every night).  Intermittent restless sleep, occasional neck and shoulder pains, inconsistent blood pressure readings ranging from an ideal 120/80 to spikes around 160/100. Intermittent bouts of extreme fatigue. I think my problem might be either inconsistent dose effectiveness (i.e. some of my pills might not be as strong as they're supposed to be) or I need to be on smaller doses twice a day to even out the effects. I'll check with my doctor."


"As an adult with ADHD Concerta is the way to go. Focused and able to complete tasks. Although the lack of appetite and sleep come into play the time released 18mg work better for me then the 27mg...With 27 mgs I was tired and moody."


"I have been on this birth control for about 4 months and this is the best month in the four years I've been on birth control. I have extremely HORRIBLE periods anything you think of has happened in my experiences with the several others, if your symptoms start out worse or don't clear right away try and stick it out so your body can get used to it.  Periods went from 14 days to 4 days...I'm loving it!"


"So after my grandma passed away I started having those panic attacks. In class around people and I didn't want to go out. I was a fun outgoing person and suddenly I was someone else. I didn't like myself. I lost weight I hate looking in the mirror I didn't wanna fix myself or dress well. And so I had to see a psychiatrist and he told me to take Cipralex 10mg for 6months so I traveled to the States to see the family my life has changed a lot but I still fear being in crowded places or going out clubbing and sometimes I get those anxiety attacks. How can I get rid of them completely??"


"EVERYONES SKIN IS DIFFERENT.Don't do what I did and read these reviews. it will effect everyones skin differently. I have extremely sensitive skin and this product was great."


"I have to say I love Relpax. I sit under florescent lights and in front of a computer all day long and when I have a migraine I take Relpax and within 20 minutes the pain goes away. The only side effects I have are the pain in my jaws and throat and my arms get really heavy. But it's nothing compared to the pain I fell under these bright lights with a migraine. I don't think that this is an expensive medicine, with my insurance I pay less than 10 dollars for a box of 12 of them. I think I would think different if I didn't have insurance for sure but I would pay any amount of money for these little orange pills."


"I have just started this med.  I have a spinal cord stimulator and hate it.  I take Norco for constant pain with minimal relief.  I had no good relief from gabapentin but this time release sample has been amazing for the pain.  I have been at a #2 for 2 days in a row and I am very excited.  I called and found that Garlise IS covered under my Part D at 35 per month and 45 next year.  I am experiencing the customary side effects, hoping they will decrease with time.  Dry mouth, dizzy, headache on awakening and heavy feeling.  But the pain is SO much better!!  I will update as my experiences change and time passes.  I am very hopeful after years of Neuropathy."


"I am in my 40 and my face has fire up with acne. My dermatologist recommended epiduo and I am in my 4 week, I tell you...this purging is no joke. It gets everything out, but after doing my homework and researching I know it gets better. If you are starting in epiduo please don't use to much the itching and peeling will get you (believe me I know..ouch). I use a lot of moisturizing for the dryness and when the itching got too much I use organic honey every night on my face it help a lot. Also, use the epitracker taking your photo each day will cheer you up because you see progress."


"I went to fill my script which was for 30 pills 100mg and my insurance will not pay anything on it.  The pharmacy told me the cost was $1499.00 and I started laughing.  I told the guy to keep them and said my wife will have to try harder....  LOL"


"Felt compelled to share my experience after reading all the bad reviews. Everyone is different. Bottom line. I took the one day in the middle of the day right after I bought it. Laid down, felt ok. Got up and felt burning and itching. Was pretty intense. Used two wipes and the symptoms began to dissipate. Had a little leakage but was feeling ok by the evening. I have a little burning but nothing that is intolerable. About to get on a plane and happy that I took it. I think it’s worth the try."


"Colazal completely rid me of all Crohn's symptoms after years of suffering. I'm worried now, after 4-5 yrs symptom free I need a kidney transplant. Will I still be able to use it if I get a flare up?"


"This medicine began to work almost immediately. Mostly clear now except for a few spots. First time like this in 35 years. Only side effects have been bathroom visits are 2-3 a day now, loose stool. No Nausea or anything else."


"Copaxone is the best - no side effects."


"Xyrem actually worked! For the first time in my life, I felt like a normal person. Then, the migraines to beat all migraines began. I was awake but in so much pain and the only thing that helped at all was packing ice all around my head. I hoped the headaches would go away but, after a couple of weeks, I gave up. I didn't want to be awake with that much pain."


"This did not work at all. Not only did it not touch my severe menstrual cramps, but I experienced side effects from the drug - muscle weakness in my legs. My obgyn and I tried everything. Now, I take meloxicam every 24 hrs for first 1-3 days of period and take 2.5mg - 5mg hydrocodone acetaminophen on day 2 and 3 for breakthrough pain. It works very well."


"I just started taking this medication.  It works wonders.  I have been in chronic pain for over 3 years and needless to say, constant pain puts me in a terrible mood.  This medication not only relieves the pain in my joints, but also helps me psychologically.  I'm not sure if it is the medicine or the fact that I am pain free for the first time in years."


"This medicine has allowed me to function as a 'normal' productive person. With the proper use of this medicine others have no idea that I live with severe chronic, intractable facial pain. As with any medicine, I can't give it a 10 because I wish I didn't have to take it. There is always the hope for a cure."


"I took one of these tessalon perles for an upper respiratory infection and I thought I was going to die!  I started salivating like I was going to throw up but didn't and at the same time I felt like I was choking to death from deep down in my esophagus or chest area.  I don't know if my hiatal hernia has anything to do with this but I cannot ever take this medication again. I should have went to the ER but I didn't.  It lasted about 3 hours and finally went away on it's own."


"Unprotected intercourse April 29th, took the pill 4 hours later. Now it's more than a week past.  Definitely feeling preggo and like someone else. I know it was a huge dose of hormones and supposedly stops ovulation, but I ovulated then...I'm testing this Saturday or Sunday (Mother's day..yikes) if my period doesn't come. Cramps and no discharge or anything.  I had dizziness start within hours of taking it. I haven't been depressed in a while--crying at the drop of a hat, my belly and chest feels a little more swollen/tender each day. Having trouble sleeping at night--hot flashes nightly, strange dreams the first two nights.The desire to eat much then nothing comes and goes. I'm nauseated. Watch out!"


"MTX stopped my periods although hormonal test shows no onset of menopause (age 53). Blurry vision (garlands) for 30' after intake (6 tablets). Sickness sometimes for up to 24 hours. Joint pain is increased for two to three days. Effect is moderate, must add Actemra. TNF inhibitors largely without effect."


"I rarely post online reviews, but I recognize that most people only post reviews when they don't like something, so I wanted to sort of offset that here.

I'm in my mid-twenties and female.  I've suffered with severe anxiety and depression for several years due to trauma.  Enter Celexa.  To be fair, I went to therapy for several months before deciding to go on medication (and was feeling a bit better), but I still experienced severe anxiety that the therapy wasn't helping.  I started feeling better after the first week on Celexa, and things have only improved from there.  I've been taking it for around three months and my anxiety/depression is almost completely gone.  I've had no sexual side effects whatsoever, no weight gain, no issues."


"I talked to my doctor about Belviq and got a prescription last week. So far I have lost 4 pounds and feel great. It's like I am suddenly motivated to lose weight. I think as the weight comes off exercising will become easier. I am tolerating the medication without side effects. I noticed no appetite for food and a boost in energy without the nervousness I felt with some of the over the counter products I used to take. I have told my friends and family about Belviq."


"Elavil has been used by Ortho surgeons for neck and back patients for over 40 years.  I believed then and now it is to relieve the pt from depressive symptoms while helping with relief of nerve pain, neuropathy, that which pain meds cannot.  I take it for post operative cervical disc/fusion that causes neuropathy."


"I was in bed, aches, chills, 102 fever, dizzy, all the good stuff that comes with the flu - just miserable.  I tested positive for the flu and took my first dose that evening.  Within a day and a half, I feel so much better.  I still have some symptoms, but I don't feel like I'm knocking at death's door.  "


"I just had 21 teeth pulled and immediate dentures (top and bottom) put in 48 hours ago. The pain and swelling is intense but it is reducing my swollen face quite well. I also had chronic knee pain prior to this and now my knees don%u2019t hurt. That, %u201Cwanting to snap%u201D feeling when I walk is no longer there. As far as side affects, if there was anything it is dry mouth. I drink tons of water. I%u2019d like some weight gain, ha ha. I can%u2019t eat like I used to. Thumbs up to this med if your given it for dental work."


"Was prescribed gabapentin for back pain but noticed very quickly that my night sweats and hot flashes greatly diminished after starting this medication. I also sleep better and don't wake up as often. This has been a blessing due to the fact that I am unable to take any medication normally prescribed for menopausal symptoms due to having thrombosis years ago. :)"


"I am 5'1" and weighed 192.2 when I saw the doctor. Exercise and dieting weren't helping me and he was concerned the weight may be the reason why my blood pressure is high and why my PCOS has been acting out. So he put me on Adipex-P and so far so good. I have lost 5 lbs in 10 days since starting the medication. I feel super energetic too."


"I am 19 years old, and I was on liquid Prozac for about 3 months. During the 3 months of Prozac, I found that I was more tired and unable to concentrate. I found that I was even more anxious when on this medicine, more depressed, and I gained a considerable amount of weight. Before Prozac I was 130lbs, then I was around 155lbs by the end of the 3 months. While on this, I had no energy, no motivation to move on with my life, or no desire to engage in social interaction. My sex drive had gone way down and I was not very interested in having sex. Now, I have been off the Prozac for about 6-7 months, and I am slightly more motivated, my sex drive has gone way up, but my weight is still the same."


"I got my first Implanon in April 2009, experienced bleeding for about a month straight but after that I was in the clear! I love not having to worry about taking a pill everyday and I'd say its extremely effective since its the only form of contraception I use and I have not gotten pregnant after 3 years. I've gained about 15 pounds over the 3 years, but think it's mostly because of college and poor choices, not my Implanon. I just got my new implant, and I'm excited for another 3 years of worry free birth control!"


"Haven’t even had it on for a full month, but it’s not to bad. The first week I put it on my hip bone/ pelvic area. Had no problems other than very little cramping here and there. Although I do get moody some days, other days I’m fine. It’s hit and miss. So that kinda sucks for my bf cuz I feel bad for snapping at him. But The second week I put it on my butt right before bed. The next day I was EXTREMELY nauseous and got the worst migraine ever and even felt feverish. I moved it back to my hip, but on the opposite side as before and the symptoms went away after a few hours. Yay! I would recommend maybe staying away from meaty parts of the body. I think it might absorb it a lot more, is. But I’ve heard from other moms that said the same thing"


"I had a horrible time with night terrors.  I'm 30 years old, and it was embarrassing to say the least.  I get the odd night-mare, but NO night terrors! It also helps me to fall asleep faster.  I'm on 2 mg a day."


"Life saver. I have Celiacs, colitis, and most likely irritable bowel syndrome.  Also had small bowel resection about two years ago now.  Diarrhea/cramping/nausea can get pretty bad at times.  Have been taking 1-2 twice a day and these issues completely go away for me in about an hour. My anxiety about going out and having an episode has decreased significantly because I know there is something that will help me. FINALLY.  This medication has also allowed me to get into running again.  AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING.  I feel many doctors are hesitant to prescribe this because of the benzodiazepine component, but the only side effect I seem to have is dry eyes and mouth.  Have tried every other antispasmodic, no luck.  So happy it's helping others."


"My little sister was diagnosed about 2 years ago with Narcolepsy, just recently, so was I. My doctor gave me a sample of Nuvigil for 4 weeks, and a prescription for Aderol. I took Nuvigil and I felt great! However, I took the medicine at about 5:30 am and could not turn my brain off or get to sleep until after 1:30 am. I then took half of the pill to maybe reduce the time it keeps me awake, but nothing happened at all. In reading some of the comments here, it sounds like maybe this medicine will wear off quicker in the future."


"Updated since my last report. I tried 1-20mg & 1- 10mg; 4 hours later 1-20mg; 4 hours later 1-10mg. Been trying this for a couple weeks & so far it is working fine, from the time I wake up till the time I hit the hay."


"I was rxed the ODT for extreme nausea and vomiting, due to a norovirus. The minty flavor really drove me over the edge, and only made matters worse. Then my doc gave me the regular tablets that you swallow with a tiny bit of water, but it didn't help at all, either. I remember being awed by the knowledge that they give this med to sick cancer patients, when it is so horribly ineffective.
  Evidently, it does work like gangbusters for some people, but I'm not one of them."


"Felt like sustained release and just made my stomach heavy with no relief of my pain."


"I'm really waiting for the other shoe to drop with this medicine, because for me it has thus far been thoroughly life saving. I had been in pain every minute of every day, with some days being completely overwhelmed by the pain. Now I feel like I can live again. I just noticed that increased suicide risk was a potential side effect of Lyrica, which might concern me as I've suffered from major depressive disorder for >25 years. But being on this medicine has raised my mood a great deal because I don't have chronic pain to deal with on top of my baseline mood disorder. It is so wonderful. I'm waiting to hear that it causes something dreadful - because isn't that usually the case when something works so well."


"I take 5 milligrams as needed for school. I take it right before school, maybe around 6am, school starts around 7am. I've noticed extremely dizziness, I get hot so easily, even more anxious, so much more depressed, so tired, terrible headaches, and excessive talking. I wake up in the morning to bump into every possible wall, my vision is completely blacked out. I can't walk for more than a mile, without feeling faint. I eat well and drink lots of water (due to a horrible experience with Vyvanse, in which i lost 20lbs) Not only that but falling asleep is killer. I've never taken such a small dose, and have such poor results."


"After 3 weeks of being on this medication,  I can say it was the best thing I could have done for my marriage. I was starting to think I was asexual,  but nope. Nope I am not, it acts like lady viagra for me. I just had multiple orgasms with my husband
It has also helped me control my weight and smoking,  but who cares in comparison to a dozen orgasms in 24 hours!"


"I am a 43 year old male. I have been  struggling with hip and lower back pain for about 5 years now. Been on NSAIDS for inflammation and pain. Don't really remember what a full night of rest feels like.  To be honest   I was scared to take Humira  until I done my own research. On 2-11-2015  I had my first shot of Humira.  I'm thinking this sucker is going to really hurt. Took me about 5 minutes to get my nerve up. Oh well I pushed the button and the rest is history. OMG!!!!!!!!! Why did I wait so long.  To me the shot doesn't hurt but it does sting just a little. 2 days after the shot. No pain in hips and sleeping all night. I still have some tightness in my lower back when I wake up. So far its a miracle."


"I was prescribed this to help with my concussion that wasn't going away. It helped me sleep good throughout the night. The first few days i was extremely tired and had a hard time staying awake in school, but once your body gets used to it it works really good- it got rid of my headaches and made me less stressed"


"Helped a great deal"


"Okay so I used NV when I was a late teen with no complications whatsoever.  I'm 32 year old now and just recently started back on it again after my c-section. This has been the worst birth control experience of my life. I've used it for 3 weeks and ended up with horrible headaches, extreme cramping in my stomach for a week now non stop, feeling delusional and very irritable with no sex drive what so ever when before taking this I've always had a very high sex drive.  I've been breastfeeding and flow isn't all that good anymore, but worst of all, I have found myself so hard on myself and so depressed and its been beyond my control. Felt like I needed to seek help. After reading about side effects I have figured out where the problem was coming from. No more NV 4 me."


"The nerve pain became so unbearable that it forced me to take lyrica despite the bad reviews and long list of negative side effects. I was told by many that it worked a lot better that neurontin with less drastic negative effects. Well, it has eased my pain some, but the side effects have taken my life from me. I'm dizzy at times, my head is always foggy and not clear thinking, I have depression, anger outbursts I've never had before, daily nausea, and am so tired that I can sleep all day and night long and can barely function. Unfortunately the alternative medications have even worse negative side effects, so what are we supposed to do in order to have some normalcy?"


"I was put on Sutent (37.5 mg) after chemo failed to stabilize my liver metastasis. Sutent helped to shrink the tumors but the side effects were too many. I got blisters on my hands and feet, my hair turned grey, I had diarrhea and gas all day. Overall my quality of life was severely compromised and it was even hard for me to walk. Finally they changed my medicine to Afinitor which did a good job without any side effects."


"Gildess Fe 1.5/30 has been nothing but a positive experience for me. I started on 1/20 and had random spotting through the month, but when I bumped up to 1.5/30 it was fixed right away. I used to suffer from extreme emotional break downs during my period and such heavy bleeding that I literally could not leave the house for 3 days. With the first month of Gildess, my period was "normal" and now after 3 years of use I get very light periods for less than a day and little to no cramping and no other adverse side effects. I never gained weight, never struggled with acne, or had any other issues. The only reason I rate it 9/10 is because sometimes I feel like my sex drive is lower at times. Never got pregnant."


"I just want say this medication has been a complete life saver for me I went from having bad anxiety and just generally crappy attitude of always being upset and grumpy and ocd on other peoples character defects until i started taking this medication which at first was hard the first 2 -3 days were rough and than I decided to cut the 10mg pill in half and thats when I noticed my change I was just genuinely happy about just being alive and happy about starting my day things I would usually get upset and obsess about just roled off me like no big deal and I found now that I am able to carry on and have a regular great day so thank you so much to my doc and Lexapro for being a solution for now and maybe for my lifetime if need be"


"I have seriously tried to quit smoking for 10 of the 12 years I smoked.  No joke! I underwent laser. Twice, Nicoderm no less than 6 times, Nicoretter. Well forget those, support groups three times and tried cold turkey more times than Kodak has film.  Nothing can worked! I was frustrated, embarrassed and downright disgusted with myself! I am a person that believes I can do anything if I put my mind to it and yet I couldn't quit smoking.
Then I tried Chantix.  Only because I'd tried everything else and nothing worked. Well, when I experienced no cravings, I was impressed!  Well this was great. I only had to deal with the hands. I did more crafts over the next month than I had in years. BUT, I DID NOT SMOKE.
Thank you Chantix."


"I have Cluster Migraines so the doctor put me on Topamax, after about 2 months I developed anxiety symptoms and a rather hateful personality so they added Buspar to take  the "edge" off. It has worked well for me but I can tell when it wears off. I'm on a low dose so it just may be time to adjust( 5mg twice a day ). All in all very satisfied with this medicine. It does make you dream vividly but that doesn't bother me."
