"I have had sleep issues since my early 20's. I have been prescribed Ambien, Lunesta, Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan and Seroquel. All of them helped fall asleep no problem, however 3 hours later, I'm awake again. The hydroxyzine didn't help me fall asleep as much as keeping me asleep! I usually toss and turn a dozen times at night but this gives me solid, uninterrupted sleep. I do notice that I will wake slightly agitated at times which is annoying when you have 3 kids to wake to and need to be on your toes and think fast. I have to say out of all the meds I've tried this one KEEPS me sleeping which is the point."


"I always had acne around periods but after I had my son it got severe. So much so that it left scars from inflammation that would make one zit into a pea sized bump deep under my skin that was painful and caused anxiety, depression and so on. After seeing a Dermatoligist he prescribed a combo of 3 to combat it. The tri sprintec to regulate hormones, a light topical antibiotic lotion clyndomicin I think and a year of doxycycline antibiotics. It took time but after the antibiotics took care of the infection with this pill it seemed to prevent acne. My reason for thinking this is the only time it's gotten bad again is after running out and going a month without or an occasional pimple during the placebo week. Overall it helped a great deal..."


"I have been taking minocycline for 2 years for scleroderma /generalized morpia. At first I had a step down of prednisone for 2 months with it. It's stopped the spread of the morpia dead in its tracks. Now my skin is starting to clear up. Still have some bad spots that are clearing slower. For the side effects I take a 0.05mg clonazepam and it gets rid of all the side effects. I had the vertigo and anxiety so bad. "


"I've found it very helpful."


"Before: All nails infected. 6/10 were completly white.

Tried various stuff from the shelf @ london drugs. Nothing helped.

GP prescribed Jublia. 1.5 months in and I'm 90% cured.  I will continue as prescribed for 6 months, so it doesn't come back. Very happy with this applicant. Also:Bought brand new socks, wash my feet 3X daily with warm water and soap. Try to be barefoot every chance.

Seems to be different ways working for each individual. Keep trying things and find what works for you! Stay consistent.

Also:Blue cross paid majority: costed me about 20$ a bottle. I live in Canada."


"I believe this medication saved my life. I did feel extremely sleepy at first while my dosage was being raised but that went away quickly. I have a new feeling of wanting to get up and do things that wasn't there before. I also feel a sense of calm and peacefulness. The only side effects so far that were troublesome is constipation and sometimes it's hard to concentrate if someone is speaking."


"I found this medication very useful in controlling my pain. Have had several oral surgeries. The stigma surrounding meds like these is frustrating. In my opinion, it makes it difficult for people like myself to get them prescribed, although I do understand it."


"So far so good! Was on depo but it made my anxiety worse and I gained a lot of weight.. Been on lolo for a month now and no bad side effects except a little irregular spotting! Love it"


"250mg once every 12hrs didn't do much for pain in ER formulation for me but the 50mg worked quite well as a breakthrough pain medication when combined with 2/3 my typical dosage of Oxycontin.  I found that pain relief duration at 50mg was about 4hrs.  I believe that the ER formulation starts at 100mg and higher.  I am lethargic on Nucynta ER at the 250mg 2x a day dose compared to Oxycontin 30mg 3x daily."


"First month I had pretty bad cramps but that was a big reason I went on it, along with very irregular periods. After that month though I barely experience cramping, my periods are light, and fairly short (4 days). I'm used to heavy cramps so bad I throw up and 6+ day periods.  My skin is the clearest it's ever been. I did bloat very bad (7 pound gained) around month 4 but now (month 5) all bloating is gone and I'm back to my original size. It hasn't taken away any PMS symptoms besides acne and cramps but I'm okay with that. My breasts have grown a cup size (32 C to 32 D). So far so good. Plus... No babies!"


"I was given this pill to take because I stopped having a period for 6 months.   Put me on this for 10 days and the very first day of taking a pill I spotted.     Then light period for 5 days. Then the next month.   No period. So started taking the pills again.  Not till the LAST pill was there blood.  It was light at first for  3 days, now I have been bleeding So heavy non stop! I’ve been bleeding 10 days straight!  Is something wrong? Called my doctor and they were “busy” said call back.  Never did I can’t stand that office"


"Well I got the implant 7 months ago and the first month I bleed heavy but I haven't got my period again instill a couple days ago. That's 6 months without a period. I do know this is very effective since my sister, ex roommate, and friends have it and haven't gotten pregnant. Considering me and my long term boyfriend don't use protection that's amazing. It effects everyone different I've never gotten a lot of acne and still dont. I haven't gained more than a couple pounds but I'm lazy so it could be anything. No side effects so far, I love it"


"I had no idea I had TMJ but actually thought I was getting wisdom teeth because of the pain. I went to a dentist and he gave me Valium and Percocet. He told me to go to my doctor and have them prescribe more as he could not. My doctor thought I was crazy and drug seeking so I could not get anything and still suffering from TMJ.  The Valium was very helpful for TMJ, more than anything else I have tried or the doctor has given me instead of Valium."


"I've had severe cluster headaches with occasional dreadful migraines since I was in my 20s -- 50 years ago. It was very difficult to get approval for this medication, and I was always trying to juggle it with aspirin and stretch it out.  Seems like the situation here, at least, has greatly improved and my current primary dr. prescribes it for me.  I only take fiorinal when I feel a bad headache coming on, and it works.  (It does occasionally put me to sleep for about 15 minutes.)  The variety with codeine is too strong for me.  I can't take triptans because of cardiovascular issues.  I can't emphasize strongly enough how beneficial this medication has been in my life.  Moreover, aspirin never helped my headaches."


"I've been on Lunesta for 3 years and would sleep 8 hours exactly every night..Cost went to $125 a month (New Insurance) and then switched to Ambien but only slept 4-5 hours a night. Tried Silenor for the first time last night and slept almost 11 hours."


"Great pain relief for complications with kidney

Stones. Had both the IV at the hospital and

Doctor prescribed pill. Morphine did nothing

For the pain."


"I'm a 48 year old hypogonadism male that self injected for 5 plus years and hated it. The only reason I did it was to avoid the transference of the gels to my kids and fiance. I was offered Natesto and was sceptical of the 3 times a day thing, but to be honest it literally takes a couple seconds and I get an energy boost every time I take it. My fiance is a little younger than I am so on date nights (concerts specifically) I'll take my third dose later and it's like a shot of espresso. This had been a life changer for me. I would feel good for a couple days with the shots then I could feel the come down. With the Natesto I feel even all the time and I have my workout energy back. There's a little learning curve to applying in the nose."


"I'm 17 years old and my mom works at an OB/GYN office and had me get Implanon.  The only negative part was it bruised for about a week and my stomach was a little upset the next day.  I have gained no weight or have had my mood effected or any other bad side effects.  My sex drive is just as high as it has been.  I love it because I have not gained weight, I have light spotting to no periods and it's stuck in my arm so I don't have to remember my birth control daily."


"The only good thing about nexplanon is not getting pregnant or having to take a pill. I’ve had this implant for about 2 and a half years and I’m on my period ALL THE TIME. I’ll bleed for a week, stop for a couple days, and then start again for another week. My periods are usually normal to light- but I’m bleeding 50% of my days some months.  And often times it looks old and brown. My “normal” month is a 7 day period. Being on my period so much also messes with my vaginal pH. I’m getting it removed this week and I’m so ready. And so is my husband."


"I am a very happy confidant nurse practitioner. This drug made me over a time period of less than a week suicidal. Extremely depressed, and uncontrollable crying for no reason. The procedure was elective and my suicidal  symptoms cleared up within 14 hours of discontinuation."


"I broke my neck after a fall from a bridge in 2000. After many failed surgeries, an ANS spinal implant that didn't work, pain medications were my only option. Like many of you, I was prescribed Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, OxyContin, MS Contin, Fentanyl, in varying orders and dosages, and then Methadone. While all of the previously named medications have their pro's and con's, I did experience one side effect with Methadone that I haven't seen listed or heard of anyone experience before. After 2 or 3 days on the medication, I started having very vivid and disturbing nightmares. While I understand this may be a "wonder drug" for many of you, there are some of us out there that disagree."


"I feel horrible. I have one more day left (I was prescribed Metronidazole intravaginally for five days) and amen to that. Although it has worked wonders and gotten rid of an infection I've had for years and could never completely eradicate, these side effects are HORRIBLE. I've been dizzy, have had terrible headaches, eye pain, aches all over my body, absolutely no appetite (I'm repulsed by any food!), when I force myself to eat I get sick immediately after, gnawing stomach pains, pressure-like back pains, pain in my actual ovaries, grogginess, constantly tired but sleeping is beyond difficult (I somehow managed four hours last night), when I do sleep it's not refreshing at all, and exercising is practically impossible."


"I have been constipated for about a week and tried eating everything possible that will help me go even Mexican food and still nothing. I tried Miralax and couldn't go so I tried chocolate laxatives and nothing and tried Dulcolax suppositories. I'm so beyond nauseated which is better than having cramps but I still feel constipated even though I went a little. At least the Dulcolax helped me go within minutes and I'm glad I was on the toilet when it happened."


"I was prescribed Avalide by my doctor. I have been taking it for 2 weeks. I feel better than I did with the lisinopril. I am not losing so much weight at one time and I can contribute to my weight loss with the help of the Avalide."


"I used Next Choice one dose ...I took the pill 10 hrs after. It made me so sleepy and I was a bit dizzy. On the fifth day I started with a bad headache and the next day I started spotting, now today I am proud to say I'm not pregnant! I was so paranoid when my period wasn't here. Now it is I couldn't be happier to. Just relax girl, it works."


"Took this med for one full month and half of another and stopped using it.  Headaches daily: pain at top of my head and down my neck, mood swings and anxiety like never before.  Unable to lose weight.  Just didnt like how it made me feel.  Period was not as heavy was only benefit.  Ill suffer 4 days of heavy period to never feel like this again."


"I have suffered with RA from the age of 5 so for 45 years of pain.  I am starting at the lowest dose with good results and limited side effects. Will probably need to incr. dose at next visit. But finally have some hope for a pain free day."


"My 8 year old son was put on Invega 3 mg and then moved up to 6 mgs a day. About 1 1/2 months ago after gaining too much weight on risperdone. He gets the dosage on time daily but since starting Invega he has had the worse uncontrollable muscle spasms/twitches. He is constantly twitching his arms, neck and head without knowing he is doing it. Also he has started making vocal noises (random humming) without noticing he is doing it.  I was really hoping the Invega would work but I think in our case the side effects are too much to accept so he will be switching again today."


"I had the Mirena IUD placed 4 weeks ago. I had heard that the initial placement can be very painful, however, I only felt a very slight ache/pressure when my doc put it in. He even had to manually expand my cervix because it wouldn't open for him at all. But even with that, it wasn't bad. I did bleed quite a bit after insertion because he had to pry everything open basically lol. But really not a bad experience. I rated it at an 8 because I've been bleeding since about day 5 post insertion. It varies from light spotting to full blown period heaviness from day to day (cramps too) and hasn't stopped for 3 weeks. Its quite a mood killer :/ but I'd still choose this over the pill, honestly. The bleeding is the only downside for me."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I had been taking Pradaxa for 3 weeks when one morning I went to get out of bed and had such severe pain in my knees that I almost fell down.  With help I got to the bathroom.  I had a scan to be sure I had blood flow, which I did.  I had a blood test to see if my potassium level was okay and it was fine.  At that point I got off Pradaxa and went to warfarin. I'll just put up with the blood tests and bruising for the next 2 months.  Hopefully I will be off the warfarin then."


"I have had bad back, neck and shoulder pain for 12 plus years. My Dr's.tried several times doing guided steroid injections and for several hours after the injections I would feel pain free. Once the numbing agent wears off the pain returns to normal. They tried trans dermal compounded creams as well as NSAID's and oral medications. Some of the oral medications worked but not long enough. I would take one at bed time and 5 to 6 hours I would wake up in pain and couldn't go back to sleep. I was only allowed to take 3 a day so if I used one at bed time and one near morning I had nothing through the day. the patches worked well but they tend to roll up and fall off. I am told not to put tape over them. Not sure what to do about that."


"Worst experience!  I went to an obgyn last year (for the first time) due to very bad periods (I'm 37).  She never did exam me and gave me this.  For the next few weeks my bleeding got worse than it was!  I informed my dr about it and they told me to stop taking it.  So I went back to that obgyn and she once again never examed me just told me to stop taking it until she does surgery.  (Crazy!).  Never went back to that dr and went to a new one and got something different than this pill that did not work at all."


"Excellent medication. It saved my life. I am a normal person again. The key to panic disorder is to find the adequate treatment for the severity of your condition. I took almost 5 years to find the adequate doctor and treatment, but I think that time and proper medications have cured this terrible disease."


"I had no noticeable side effects at all.  I did have some cramping the first month that was slight.  I took some ibuprofen when it bothered me.  I spotted for about 3 weeks and had one small period.  Then my periods stopped.  Once in a while I get a little pink speck on toilet paper, none on my underwear.  It is wonderful having birth control and not worrying about pills, periods, mood swings, or headaches.  It is the best birth control ever!  I also like the shorter commitment and the extra low hormone content.  No weight gain.  I love that is pretty much stopped my PMS completely.  I notice a slight mood change once a month-ish and it used to be really bad for me.  It is a big improvement.  I am 42 and I plan to stay on this until menopas"


Aspirin / butalbital / caffeine / codeine

"100% effective for migraine headaches.  I keep this medication on hand!"


"I have been backed up for a week or so I asked my mom what I can use for relief. She told me to try magnesium citrate. The 1st time I downed the whole bottle and nothing. I told my mom & she asked me did I drink water after taking it, which I hadn't done. She told me to wait 48 hrs and drink another one, followed by at least 2 glasses of room temperature or lukewarm water. I drank it at 8 pm, by 1 am I was awakened from my sleep by noises coming from my stomach I had never heard & an urge to, poot. Something told me to find a toilet, which I did, and that poot turned into a full fledged ka boom! This stuff gets the job done."


"I had bursitis in my hip and could hardly walk. My doctor prescribed Meloxicam and within 3-4 days I was pain free."


"Effexor is awesome for depression."


"This stuff is amazing and has been a godsend for my anxiety and panic. Don't pass this one and give it try it's great."


"These definintely work.  Day one I saw relief with the gotta go right now feeling, frequency and leakage.  The downside is the patches rarely last four days, usually 36 hours to 48 hours, which makes them very expensive.  They are itchy and cause redness where the patch is placed.  The edges collect lint from your clothes which make the patch look dirty.  They constantly get caught on your clothing and pull your skin. As they dry up, they begin to sound "crinkly" which could be embarrassing.  The drying up can occur as soon as 24 hours.  They are also not clear and discreet.  The background is clear but there are 10 logos printed across each patch.  Very sexy."


"My son is 9 yrs old and has been on Vyvanse for about 2 yrs or so and I have to say that its been a miracle medicine. I believe I finally got my baby boy back he also takes Intuniv as a booster pill....but my only problem is that he has chronic insomnia and no over the counter or prescribed medicine seem to make him fall asleep and stay asleep."


"I am 28 and I have had the Mirena for a little over 6 months now. I love it except for the fact that I have acne like a teen. I have tried everything to control the acne and nothing seems to work. I have a 4 year old and have decided to put off having more kids for awhile. Not to mention that I had 2 strokes back in June '08 from a heart defect and regular birth control causes blood clots so I had to get off the "ring." Mirena is one of the only choices when it comes to estrogen free birth control. I have not gained any weight, but my mood swings are horrible (my husband agrees). I still have had light periods and lots of spot bleeding in between. I have yet to have a month with NO period. We will see. I will keep you posted."


"I took 1 pill for a number of years and it worked great!  I thought it was a miracle.  As years went on, I had to increase to 2 pills.  Again it worked great for a long but now I am having the bladder spasms again.   Guess I built up a tolerance to it"


"Lost 20 pounds and was feeling terrible. Then I was diagnosed with Crohn's and now I take Humara and it has brought my weight up to normal and i've been in remission ever since!"


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


"I am 32 years old and I have to take Zoladex for 3 years with the medicine Tamoxifen for 5 years. I have been on Zoladex for about a year now. Some of my side effects include severe mood swings, hot flashes, loss of menstrual cycle, weight gain (28 pounds so far), loss of energy, swelling of hands, forgetfulness."


"Doctor gave me Celebrex.I've been taking it for a week.  It does nothing for my hip pain (bone on bone arthritis). I'm going off it and back on Advil."


"Lo Lo Estrin Fe started out ok for me the first 3 months. I didn't have a period and it was the best thing ever since my period is a nightmare for me before. Shortly after the 3 months I saw a difference in my body and weighed myself and I was 10 lbs heavier. Along with the weight gain I also suffered from horrible sporadic cramps and really bad acne. This is the worst birth control ever and I'm changing it ASAP!!"


"I can not breathe after using this medicine. I also have a bad cough, swelling in my ankles  headache and tightness in my chest."


"Nexium seemed to be the answer for the first 3 years but lately it has fallen short and all the pain has returned with vengeance. There always was the side effects of headaches, gas and elevated blood pressure."


"I am 17 and started Ocella three months ago because I wanted to switch off the three month schedule, which I hated. I am only finishing up the third month this next week, but I love it! I would get the WORST mood swings when I PMSed that my friends would purposely avoid me. Since switching to Ocella I have had a MAJOR decrease in mood swings. My acne cleared up for the first two months, but I broke out pretty bad during the third month. And my period used to last 8 days and now is about 6-5 days. And now my period comes at a regular time. The only cons I could have about this product is around the time of my period I am extremely bloated and I get terrible cramps. But since my mood swings are gone I a would completely recommend Ocella."


"This medicine is very effective ...helped my hemorrhoids a lot."


"I am 82 yr old retired scientist, walking daily 4 miles in 1 hr. Suddenly I developed extreme arthritic pain in my right hip. Pain was unbearable at night. No pain killers helped including morphine. My doctor prescribed 200 mg Celebrex for 14 days. It helped instantly, particularly at night. Believe it or not, now I have pain in me left hip, my shoulders, elbows, and even severe pain in my left wrist! I have been off Celebrex for one week and I am relying on physical therapy to minimize the arthritic pain. No more Celebrex."


"I'm in my 70's and found that my erections would come and go during sex. I had previously tried Viagra and had a migraine the next day. My experience has varied... sometimes great and sometimes not as good.   There is a correlation between the nasal stuffiness and the erection quality. No gain without the Pain!
I'm going to try taking it a bit sooner and see if that makes it more reliable."


"I decided to get Skyla since my doctor said it was the best choice for me since I've never given birth before. My OBGYN said to schedule my appointment for the week after my period. At my appointment, my OBGYN couldn't feel where my uterus was since I had some curvature blocking access to it. He straightened it out, which was very painful! Then inserted Skyla. I got Skyla on 4/26/17 and it's been four days since it was inserted. I'm still getting really painful cramps, migraines, dizziness and some spotting. I'm not sure if Skyla's really worth all this pain."


"Did not help me. Made me feel extremely tired to the point I was falling asleep while driving and during class (which wasn't like me, because I'm also on Vyvanse (A stimulant)) Went off it quickly."


"I have also been on Calcitriol 0.5 mcg x 2 twice daily in addition to 5400 mg (total) calcium and 756 mg magnesium (total) daily.  Still experiencing sever symptoms of hypocalcemia - tingling, chills, muscle spasm, light headedness, etc.   Also, had papillary cancer with all thyroid removed - surgeon likely removed all parathyroids as 2 were found in pathology and no parathyroid hormone detected in subsequent lab tests."


"I take Zolpidem two or three times a week if I have had a very busy day and am not relaxed enough to sleep. It works well and will put me to sleep within 30-45 mins. Zolpidem works much better for me than benzodiazepines do (due to its longer half-life). If you are going to take Zolpidem do not take it every night. It can be taken 2 or 3 times a week without losing your natural ability to sleep."


"I went to the doctor about the itching and turns out I had a severe allergic reaction to Brintellix. 103 temp, so I have to wait a week to get the meds out of my system."


"Very effective at managing my pain that stemmed from a spinal injury and subsequent spinal surgery.  It has been the only medicine that manages the pain after trying all the other non-narcotics as well as nerve pain medications."


"Very good!"


"It worked very well in making me stay asleep but it gave me such a stuffy nose I had trouble falling asleep but when I finally did fall asleep it was great. Needless to say I couldn't handle the stuffy nose so I stopped taking them."


"I have been taking Celexa 20MG for a few years and found it to be quite helpful in the beginning. It is true I have heard that Celexa is one of the better medications out there for depression, with little side effects. I haven't experienced much side effects until now. In fact I just came back from seeing my psychiatrist this afternoon and I told him about the side effects I was having. He suggested I clean my system of the medication for 2 weeks and come back to see him in 2 weeks to see if I am still suffering the side effects. At this point in time, I haven't quite decided what I want to do. If anything, I might want to lower the dosage to 10MG."


"After taking Doxylamine for over 8 months for severe insomnia, I have gained over 15lbs. I'm only 5'1'' & 15lbs is a significant weight gain. I've never been overweight, I've been consuming less calories & no change in weight. The doxylamine helps with my insomnia but I can not continue using it because of weight gain."


"Got my thyroid out in November due to cancer.  Started taking Levothyroxine and felt tired, depressed, gained weight, anxiety and thoughts of hopelessness. "


"I am a 40 yr old African American female. I have had uncontrolled high blood pressure for over 7 yrs and it has caused slight damage to the left side of my heart. I am seeing a cardiologist who has tried about 7 different medications within the last year to treat my condition. March, this year, they gave me samples of Bystolic 10mg to take along with my 300/25 Avalide daily. At first, the results looked very promising; however this medication was recently approved in Jan. 2008."


"I started taking Lexapro about 7 weeks ago after an extremely traumatic unexpected loss of my long term boyfriend who i lived with. I was not functioning or able to deal with life before I got on Lexapro. I couldn't  stop overwhelming thoughts, anxiety, crying.  I couldn't face life.  Lexapro has helped me begin the process of healing In a healthy way and resume life. I don't feel any different other than I have rational thoughts and I am in control of my emotions. I know I would not be moving forward in a positive manner of it wasn't for this medication.  The change was like day and night and I am thankful."


"I had Implanon inserted in January 2009. It was my only choice, as I have heart problems that make it unsafe for me to take birth control with estrogen and a wacky fallopian tube that crossed the IUD off of my list of options. The main reason I decided to get Implanon was to stop my awful cramps each month. Before Implanon, was hell. Vomiting, diarrhea and crippling pain. Since insertion I haven't had a period or cramps. I've experienced no negative side effects and will most likely have another implant once this one has run it's course. I highly recommend this birth control."


"I was on Sprintec 28 day birth control for years. I got off of this because I started forgetting my pill. I wanted to try a different form of birth control that would be easier for me. My doctor immediately told me that the NuvaRing would be best, that I would have no side effects, and that I would be fine. I was NOT fine. I became extremely depressed, was crying all the time and furious with everyone. I started to have suicidal thoughts. It was the scariest feeling. After a month of this, I couldn't take it anymore and got off of the NuvaRing. Being on this medicine was the worst experience of my entire life and I believe that if another option would work for you, try it instead of this. Nothing is worth feeling depressed and suicidal."


"Onglyza is an excellent addition to my regimen, in controlling my HBA1C's. I have experienced weight loss and it is very affordable. My doctor gave me a Value Card which fixes the Co-Pay at just $10 per month at last a new medicine that works and is affordable."


"Aleve is the only pain killer that really helps. I used to take a double dose of extra strong Midol and it would last me maybe 4 hours. With the Aleve I take 1 every 11-12 hours and I am good for the day."


"I love this med although at first like the first I felt like a zombie no emotions whatsoever. It was like numb feelings wise for a day. As time passed my med helped my insomnia significantly. The  insomnia  had been affected my mood that caused me to have crying spells. Paroxetine definitely helped with these spells. Recently my dad passed  away and my mom was scared that I would have  a bad crisis but all I have is the normal grieving process. Thank Goodness because my mom needs me strong."


"I was born in 1958 and have had intestinal pain since I was a child. I thought it was just part of growing up and never told anybody. As a young adult the pain became to much to handle and I started seeing all kinds of doctors. To make a long story short loperamide controls the pain I had to endure for years. Better than prescribed medicine and at a much better price. I have been taking it for a good twenty or so years now. I do not wait for the problems to start, I take one in the morning and one at bedtime everyday. If I feel an intestinal virus coming on I double it. It is very rare now for me to get that double over pain for hours. To me it's a miracle drug."


"I've been taking Klonopin, on and off, for almost ten years now. There are so many varieties that I don't know which ones work for me anymore. The doctors all tell you it's the same thing. If that's the case, why have I stopped and started so many times? The most common reason is tolerance, i suspect. However, it has been my observation over the last 10 or so years, that the different colors, sources, and whatever "fillers" that are in some of these clonazepam, alter the effects too randomly. As sufferers of the horribly misunderstood disorder, we should have more resources to find out what is in these and  more insight into which ones favor our individual bipolar characteristics."


"I have been on Effexor XR 75mg for two months now, after previously being on Zoloft and Celexa. The two other medications were not effective for my anxiety and depression, and they tended to make me either tired or foggy regardless of the time of day that I took them. I expected the tiredness to wear off, but the foggy feeling never did. My doctor prescribed Effexor XR, and it has been very effective for both my depression and anxiety symptoms. I am not 100% perfect, and I still have anxiety, but in the appropriate moments. The moments of unreasonable anxiety attacks are fewer and far between since starting the medicine. I had no negative side effects, and I take it every morning at 9am."


"After trying several other medicines with no improvement, they put me on Exforge HCT. I had some dizziness at first but my blood pressue is consistent in the normal range and I feel much better."


"I still don't know if cravings and anxiety are one and the same, but I've been on this for 6 months.  I notice a lot of headaches, increased anxiety, depression, insomnia and male sexual problems.  I still need 0.5 mg Xanax 5 times a day for the anxiety, and Ambien CR for insomnia.  The product coordination nurses deny that this causes male sexual side effects, I've had sex twice in 6 months on Vivitol, and that includes my honeymoon.  I think Vivitrol helped me the most by making it clear that if I tried any opiates, I could overdose immediately and die.  So I've put up with the side-effects, but I hope to be off this in 1 year.  And, yes, I want my sex life back."


"Contols sugar levels at 100mg 2x w meal. Usual side effects + loss of concentration & very "spacey"..."


"I am on day 4 taking the medication. The only side effect I had was on day 1. The best way to describe it is that fuzzy a little sick to your stomach feeling you have when you step off a roller coaster. It only lasted the first day and was very tolerable. If you eat a tiny protein snack every 3 hours I think it helps or In my case prevents the nausea. So I'm on day 4 and I'm down 3 and a half pounds. I am struggling with weight gain due to menopause and my doctor thought contrave could be the help I need. I am also doing Leslie Sansone's Miracle Miles in home walking program. I am so hopeful that this works!! I will update in a few weeks."


"I started using Percogesic 8 years as friend of mine recommended this for my headaches. This is the only medicine I use for headaches an it's great!!!!"


"I am 68 years old and was told about 25 years ago that I had had Hep C. I had no side effects from the virus. I am active swimming and during Yoga. Went to John Hopkins because my Primary Doctor was concerned since my VL was 16,000,000. I was stage 3 Fibrosis of the liver.. I took Harvoni for four  weeks and the HCV is not detected. I will continue the med for 8 more weeks. This stuff works."


"I am 30. My usual period prior to Implanon was like clockwork. I haven't got pregnant since the insertion. But I haven't stopped bleeding much! I stop bleeding 1 week each month.  Husband & have sex during the no-bleed week. So is it the Implanon's effectiveness? or that my husband & I are rarely having sex due to constant bleeding & my loss of sex drive?  Since the insertion I’m emotional, sensitive, irritable, anxious, depressed - a constant state of PMS. I have gained weight, 6 kg. The side effects are outweighing it for me & 11 months on I’m considering other options. I’m happy I tried it, such a high efficacy rating & no user error. It's worth a try & if it works for you, great!  But beware it might not too."


"One day, out of the blue, I felt lightheaded ; I was nauseous, my legs were tingling and a horrible fear over took me. I had every physical test taken. All were negative.  Finally, totally desperate and afraid I'd have another attack, I went to 2 psychiatrists. Both diagnosed Panic Disorder. (Found out it runs in my family. ) Was put on amitriptyline, Prozac, Busbar, Paxil. I stuck each one out for 6 weeks. The nausea was horrible and the anxiety debilitating.  Finally I met a psychiatrist who put me on Zanax ( .5 mg 4 to 5 times a day and 25 mg of  Zoloft. My life improved immediately. He said he hoped the Zoloft would end the panic attacks but it took a combination of both meds. I take .5 Xanax 3 times a day. I'm alive again!"


"I have been taking this medication for 3  weeks now.  I have not had a headache since I started it.  I was getting a migraine 3 times a week previously. Topamax did not help me.  I am hoping for no serious side effects!  This has improved my quality of life tremendously"


"Before I was dead and now I feel alive.  It has been a miracle for me.  I stand in public places and think  I am here and not afraid.  I feel like a part of society again.  The first 2 weeks were bad.  Headaches feeling sick etc.  However after 4 weeks it started to get better.  Stick with it.  It has been a life saver for me."


"I suffer from Pruritus, a side effect to oxycodone. Cortizone cream is very effective. Stops itching immediately, with no unpleasant odor and is instantly absorbed into the skin. Hope this helps."


"I am on a trial pack starting from 25 mg with an increases of 15 - 20 mg a week. I am at my second week at 40mg and so for all I feel is the side effects. I found that if I take it on an empty stomach I get extremely nauseous for about and hour or two. I can't really tell if it's working yet since I'm only in my second week, but so far I'm not too optimistic. I was on Wellbutrin before and that had little to no effect on me. I don't feel depressed at all but I will say my anxiety has diminished. As for the ADD I guess will just have to wait and see."


"I have had chronic fatigue, facet joint syndrome, degeneration of parts of the spine as well as fibromyalgia and very severe osteoarthritis for over 10 years- I cannot take other OTC products because suprizingly they cause tummy upset. I have had no side effects, and  my MD watches me closely.I am glad to have this medication work for me."


"So I got this implant 08/2015 and the first 4 months my periods were normal and first 2 months I had a few mood swings. After the 3rd month everything seemed normal for about 3 more months. No weight gain, or mood swings or anything but now it got pretty bad. I went without a period for two months but now that it's back I get it every 2 weeks. I saw my dr yesterday 7/272016 and said that it is thinning out my lining so maybe that's why I am having my period more often. She prescribed some estrogen to see if it balances everything out and if not then I will need to take it out."


"I've been on this medication for about 3 years and it works great for me! My periods are always at the same time each month and are light. I take it before I go to bed each night and it does not affect my stomach. It is the first birth control I started and I would recommend it. Everyone is different, but in my experience it has worked very well!"


"I began this drug when diagnosed 9 months ago with Stage IV Metastatic CA. I take 4 pills in the a.m. and 3 in the p.m. I began on the 14 days on and 7 days off regime. Went ok with only a little nausea at first, but a few cycles in had severe diarrhea and stomach pain to the point of passing out on the toilet. The next day diarrhea with bloody stools. My oncologist changed the cycle to 1 week on and 1 week off and I have had much less severe side effects. I do get a day or two with a bout of diarrhea and sometimes a day or 2 of foot redness even with using creams faithfully. However, my CT scan confirms my cancer liver spots have decreased and shrunk. My bone spots are healing in places and there are no new areas seen...so far, so good."


"This medicine made me nervous all the time, I was a wreck, I could never sit still. It took away the mania and psychosis but left me suicidal and depressed so my psychiatrist stopped it."


"I love Seasonique! I have been using it for about 4 years. I was diagnosed with extremely painful ovarian cysts in 2012 and my obgyn suggested I take hormones. When she said I could take a scripT where I would only have 4 periods a YEAR I jumped at it. I noticed a difference right away. The only problem with this is I have A LOT, pretty much constant vaginal discharge (due to the progesterone). It's clear and watery. But this is manageable for me and for all the benefits of the pill for me: worth it. I love the fact that I only have 4 periods a year. And insurance (BCBS) covers 100% of the cost for me!"


"This medication gave me COMPLETE AND TOTAL relief for the herniated discs in my lower back before the pain turned from Acute to Chronic. I was on Vicodin ES before that and when I was having pain at night my orthopedist put me on this and it worked great!"


"Started taking sprintec specifically for birth control around 2 years ago. It was the first BC I've ever been on and I had always had a very predictable cycle. I would have intense cramping on the first day of my period but if I caught it early it was easily controlled with ibuprofen. Over the 2 years I've been on sprintec I have gotten more and more PMS symptoms. I get nausea as well as cramping, both stomach and back. The symptoms last longer and are more intense. The most concerning part to me is that I began having extreme anxiety and have now been diagnosed with OCD. I can't say that the BC is the cause but I do wonder if it has been contributing. Use with caution and monitor yourself."


"(continue) I get a feeling like my poor uterus is being stabbed , also horrible back pain, gained so much weight horrible acne and even more discharge like white stuff inside my vagina ( I never had that in my life) it grosses me out .   I want to get it removed as soon as possible"


"My experience with SSRIs have been terrible. I've been on Cipralex and Sertraline and they haven't worked at all. My doctor was really excited for me to try this one and I finally caved. The first few days were normal and the side effects were minimal (dry mouth, constipation, low appetite, a bit of drowsiness) but that all was manageable and went away pretty quickly. By the 9th day, I woke up and I just knew something was different. It's like my eyes were open and I had my life back. Having had depression for about a year, I always felt this grey cloud and weight constantly taking over my body and life. By the 7th week, mood + motivation was wonderfully back. I have my life back. Please try this if you can."


"Norco has been good to relieve my pain from my L2, L3, L4 discs herniated and resulting pain level 8 in lower back and down the sciatica nerve in my legs.
   much better than morphine which makes me feel like I'm asleep and trying to move thru cement. It really has done a good job of lowering the pain level and consequently I can function relatively well and get some things done each day, giving me a better quality of life instead of just focusing on the pain.
   I know I've become addicted but I'd rather be addicted to something that helps me than constantly suffer from pain and have misery day after day."


"I have had the Nexplanon for about 9 -10 months. Overall I'm satisfied, I don't get my periods or get pregnant which is great at this time of my life. However I have had severe mood swings. I'm overemotional. And I have gained about 25-30 pounds, Without changing my exercising or eating habits. I'm thinking about removing it sometime soon. Very effective birth control you just have to be a me to deal with the side effects and I can't deal with not being able to fit into my clothes and there are other ways to not get pregnant."


"I have been on Lutera for 2 months. The only bad side effect I'm having is horrible cramps during my period. I've had a baby before and the cramps feel like early or Braxton hicks contractions. The bleeding is light. No acne, break thru bleeding or decrease sex drive.  The other side effects like dry eyes with contacts, nausea here there is bearable . I just wear my glasses sometimes. I haven't had any weight gain. I had a really bad headache before this period. And it lasted about a day or so. Other than that I'm satisfied with the pill. It's doing the job of keeping me from getting pregnant."


"I had 2 shoulder surgeries. My doctor gave me this medication between the surgeries for pain. It worked. I did not get a "high" from it and it helped the pain. I do not like taking pills at all, but in severe cases I will use it and this did the trick."


"I was very scared by the reviews but I decided to try it anyways, however I did take Tylenol before using it and I did not feel a thing not even the next day."


"I was diagnosed with diabetes insipidus a little over a year ago.  This medication is absolutely a life saver.  I love this medication and it's the only reason that I can live a semi-normal life!"


"I was recently diagnosed with BPD (25yrs old-Female)
I took abilify for 3 days, unfortunately I couldn’t handle the side effects. For me oddly it intensified my anxiety and feeling of panic. I would constantly get hiccups and the sweats. The worst thing though was the itchy feeling of needing to get up and do something or feeling trapped and anxious and needing to runaway. It also made me very hungry and even though I would eat I wasn’t satisfied. I’m trying Topamax next... we’ll see."


"I have had tremendous benefits from just 0.25mg taken as needed.  I previously had lived with anxiety and panic (from social situations, particularly work meetings, eating out at restaurants, etc) for about 9 months before working up the courage to see my doctor.  I started developing avoidance tendencies, and decided that I was tired of letting anxiety run my life.  I am careful to take it only as needed, and would highly recommend for those with occasional severe anxiety or panic.  I've been exercising more and focusing hard on positive thinking, and that combination with the occasional Xanax has been tremendous. Remember, you have an awesome life to live!"


"I am 39 and weigh 191 . I had a surprise 'its not really menopause - its a baby' 7 months ago. I lost 20 out of the 25 lbs I gained being pregnant. Then in November I had a partial hysterectomy. And gained back what I had lost in 2 months. That sucked. So today I went to my primary care Dr and asked for adipex...most drs won't prescribe it but she agreed I needed to lose weight. I've taken phentermine before in my 20s with great results. Wish me luck on losing! I'll update again in a week."


"No serious side effects except for diarrhea  for the first few days. Not much of an appetite but improves over time. I take klonopin to help with anxiety and sleeplessness. You may also experience fatigue for the first few days as well so make sure you take it 12 hours before waking up in the morning."


"It helps most of the time.  But I also take Hydrocodone/Ac twice a day.  I also have rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoporosis.  And take two different meds for that.  Leflunomide and methotrexate."


"I've had RA for 4 years.  500mg naproxen tablets were my first treatment.  They definitely helped the day get better and be able to function daily.  However, they did not stop the morning stiffness and pain or the build up of inflamation in my body.  I definitely needed a more serious drug to stop the progression of the disease."


"g2b started sovaldi with ribavirin this morning. After 1hr I had a weird taste in my mouth and uneasy stomach all day. I took my 1st dose at 6am and by about 1pm I felt 98%normal. Then 3 more ribavirin at 5 now I have upset stomach feel irritable. 89 more days hopefully the side effects taper off after a few days like I've read they do. As long as in the end I'm virus free then this is a small price to pay for prolonging my life and not having to worry about death from liver failure."


"I have had 2 rounds (5 years each) with the Mirena and never had a problem. This round they used the Liletta IUD which was inserted on June 1st. It was supposed to be better. It is not. I have had my period for 37 days straight. They should advertise that it's effective because you won't have sex since you  will have your period EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have resorted to buying pads and tampons in bulk.  I'm over it. Biggest mistake and wish I spoke up and insisted on the other brand. Stay away from this one. It's not worth it. I gave it the one star because I will take part blame for not doing more research."


"I found this medication extremely helpful when I was first diagnosed. I had to change my eating habits dramatically, so when I messed up or when the nausea flared up Reglan was great. I did find, like many other patients, that the side effects (anxiety for me) got worse over time. After about a year I felt I had learned how to manage my diet and stopped taking Reglan entirely. Reglan was a great tool in the beginning to help me figure out what eating habits worked, but now I manage everything through diet. I think that is very possible for others with gastroparesis, too. "


"Xulane has been effective as far as keeping me from getting pregnant. However, I have an appointment with my obgyn to switch to a new method asap. I was on Ortho Evra for about 14 years and absolutely loved it. I experienced no side effects. When I was switched by my insurance to Xulane, the symptoms have multiplied. Started with lack of sex drive and intermittent bleeding. More recently, the cramps have become debilitating and I have them 2-3 weeks a month. I feel bloated all the time these days. And upon reading everyone else's reviews, I am beginning to wonder if these extra 5-10 lbs are the result of this medicine as well since I haven't been eating anymore calories than normal."


"I've been suffering from generalised anxiety but especially at work..for around two years. Previously taking citalapram, I stopped due to side affects. Initially wary that these would be the same or worse. But 4 weeks into treatment. I really am back to my old self, Happy to enjoy life rather than being anxious all of the time. What's more, my work performance has improved, relationships are much more fulfilling for me and them. I exercise more, eat healthily, and generally my cognition is calm and clear.
Few side affects.. Slight sleep disturbances, jaw clenching, and thirst...all now reduced and are easy to live with considering the benefits."


"Important weight gain issue with Lexapro: make me hungry all the time. Also this medicine make me more anxious and clinically ill especially at 20 mg. Not a good one for me. Tried it for a month."


"I've been on the Levora pill for 3.5 years now. My breasts never got any bigger, and I got a bit of acne that I ended up getting medication for. My periods have been really light, as others are saying. However, I'm an athlete and have just been diagnosed with Osteopenia (early onset of Osteoperosis) and I'm only 22. Basically, the Levora has inhibited my calcium intake for almost 4 years so my bones are becoming less dense. Getting off of the pill immediately."


"I have been on this for a week.  Day 1. Blurred vision and feeling like I'm in the matrix zoned out after 2 hours and severe nausea. I wanted to quit. But it calmed me and I felt unbothered by things what would normally make me cry. I take it at night and wake up with SEVERE anxiety as I had before taking it but I can feel my body trying to compress it. I pray and hope it gives me the happy energetic feeling I need. Right now it's keeping me calm but I still can't get out of the bed"


"I started this pill 4 months ago for my cramps and nothing has changed cramps are still the same and my period is still really heavy. I'm changing to trinessa crossing my fingers I'll have a better experience."


"My sister had terrible side effects with this medicine.  Rapid heartbeat, sweating, tingling arms and legs, itching, burning of her skin.  She changed all laundry products and body soaps looking for relief."


"I just got my Skyla yesterday morning. I love it so far. I am 20 and I took birth control in the past but I wanted something more reliable/did not have to keep up with daily. I did not think the insertion was that painful. My doctor said I handled it very well compared to other woman. Towards the end it was painful but it was tolerable. Just stay relaxed and remember to breathe and you'll be fine. I had a little spotting within the first few hours but after that I stopped bleeding. I had cramps yesterday and I seem to have lower back pain today but pain reliever helps with that."


"My doctor tried me on this when it first came out. I'm unusually sensitive to medications so we started at 5mg/day. It worked great for about a week. Side effects of nausea, blurry vision,dizziness and itching were bothersome but manageable. We then upped it to 10mg a day. Again, it worked for about a week and then stopped. The nausea was horrible. I was taking it at bedtime with a small snack and Zofran (for nausea) and it still made me sick. I would wake up nauseous & to my feet/ankles itching intensely. Benedryl or other allergy meds would not help. It would last about an hour and then go away...until the next morning. Had to stop after 2 months from the horrible side effects. By that time it had no effect on the depression whatsoever."


"I am 59 years old. I had all the symptoms of menopause from dryness to night sweats , insomnia, mood swings etc.. I started taking Angeliq nad now feel like  I did when I was 25.  I have been on it for 12 years and have never experienced the side effects mentioned. However more recently I am experiencing a strange prickly pain in my heart.. I am hoping its not serious. Quite honestly I am actually afraid to get it checked as i am  afraid the doctor might ask me to stop my angelic intake. Sincerely I will never ever be able to stop taking them. I will be  miserable without them. They are my happy pills."


"I love Plan B... this is my second time taking it since 3 years ago and it really works me and the hubby don't want any kids at all and i can't be on birth control because my body cant tolarate it so we have to use protection and on wednesday 17 on my last day of my period the condom broke and we both panic and 30 mins later i took the plan B i was anxious because i had to wait a month untill my next period and one month later it came right on time and we are so happy!!!"


"I always read reviews, but this is the first time I have ever felt the need to comment on anything online. I am on Wellbutrin 300mg and recently began Latuda 40mg and a month later Topamax. I didn't realize it was working until I noticed that EVERY relationship in my life had improved. My relationship with my husband, mother, siblings, kids, etc. My appetite began to increase so my doctor added Topamax and I regrettably stopped Latuda thinking they were both the same. Well I did stop eating as much, but a week later it was like I had lost all that progress. I was back to my old irritable unstable self. I will give Latuda credit for being the first and only medicine to make me "normal". "


"I am on a maintenance dose of 1 mg 3 times a day along with a different Xanax .5 if I am having a panic attack. I'm agoraphobic and suffer from anxiety because of multiple reasons. I find klonopin is a amazing medication that helps tremendously. I wouldn't have the life I have today."


"I am 18 years old and have been on this birth control (only birth control I've ever taken) since January of 2015. My first few months were pretty good. I had mood swings of course, regular periods, very mild cramps and headaches (which I usually get every now and then with a period). But in march of 2015 I had a very light period, and haven't had one since. Yes, I'm regularly sexually active, I've have the same boyfriend for the past three years and we've never used any protection until I got on the pill. I take my pill regularly everyday around the same time and yet, I've still had no period. I took a pregency test and it came back negative, any suggestions on what may be going on? Are other females having this same problem?"


"I've had really bad experiences with birth control in the past - the pill made me throw up on a daily basis and the shot was just a nightmare. After the crazy mood swings, lethargy, two-month period, social anxiety, and weight gain I experienced with the shot I was nervous about trying birth control again. But so far I've had a good experience with the patch. The first month I didn't have much of an appetite and often felt nauseous, but now that my body has adjusted I only have a few minimal side effects.  I crave junk food more, but that's easily managed with a bit of will-power or chocolate.  My breasts have grown a bit, but after the shot shrunk them that's not a bad thing. Thank goodness I found something that works."


"I can understand some of the confusion people have on this product.  From my perspective, it is unusable as the sole source of insulin.  It seems negative reviews are trying to do just that.

However, if you pair its use with a pump and use exclusively for corrections and/or carb heavy meals, it is a huge improvement to the manageability of my type 1 (I imagine most type 1's can relate to those times when you screw up a carb estimate, and it normally takes hours to normalize again.  With Afrezza, it is resolved in an hour)."


"I've been on this birth control for over a year now. There are some good and some bad that come with it. Of course. I'm 21, always have had light periods and when I started this birth control, I quit having them. I take ALL of my pills when I'm supposed to and I haven't had a period in months. Here and there I will spot for less than a day. I'm somewhat moody and get angry easier than I should sometimes. Great news, I didn't lose my sex drive on this pill as I have with others. I'd recommend trying it, if it works, it works. If not, onto the next."


"At first I thought this was a miracle drug but after about 2 months they had to double  my dosage then in about another 2 months later the same thing. Next thing you know I'm on the max dosage with no symptom relief. OMG that's when the real nightmare started. It was almost impossible to stop. I was ready to check in a a hospital. My doctor did watch me and did her best to get me off the medication safely but it was really really hard. Even though it did not help my fibromyalgia I suffered from withdrawal. Please PLEASE really read the side effects before taking this medication."


"Taking Butrans for 90 days....10 mg patch.....I love how it helps to control the highs and lows of sharp pain....keeps an evener feel"


"It works. Is it painful? Yes, but it works. It is more painful to be backed up like that, than it is to just take a couple hours worth of pain and nausea and get it over with. My opinion."


"This medication absolutely changed my life for the better.. Stress has always been something that has effected me all of my life, but one day it got the best of me and my anxiety attacks/stress led to depression. Being from a fortunate family, I had never gone through many hardships, so when I had a big struggle in my life I had no idea how to cope. I would sleep hours and strangely for the first time in my life, I did not want to interact with anyone and didn't want to even be active (I grew up playing all sports). Thankfully, I went to my family doctor and got the help I needed. After only 2 weeks on the medication, my overall mood and demeanor has improved dramatically and my anxiety/stress level is immensely lowered. :)"


"At first, I had a few headaches and lost 6lbs in 30 days. But what is really amazing is that it made me nauseous to drink alcohol. After 4 weeks, I was to celebrate with a nice healthy dinner including wine but after drinking 1/2 glass, it made me feel so bad, I had to chug water to not vomit. Now, I can't even think about having alcohol because of how it made me feel. Contrave should be marketed for alcohol addiction! On a negative side, after 30 days, I have severe cravings for sweets which I have not had before. I plan to continue Contrave for the full 90 days, so time will tell if it is worth it. Stay tuned!"


"Couldn't sleep. Dr prescribed 50mg and 10 minutes after taking this medicine I felt extreme anxiety and felt panic .  Heart racing.  Looked it up immediately and saw it was a side effect with some people. But  it is not scarier than not sleeping.  Will tell Dr next time I go in what happened. Now just up when I can't sleep and hoping there is something that will help. I tried ambien which worked for a while but had an episode of sleep walking on it. I don't know what else there is to try.  Did all the natural otc stuff and exercised more but I still wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall asleep again. Healthy 54 year old woman, 110lbs 5'4.  Widowed  started happening after my husband passed away tried antidepressants too"


"I started the shot when I was 17 about to be 18. I am now 20 about to be 21. Very effective at preventing pregnancy. However, I have terrible mood swings, migraines, and weight gain. When I started taking Depo I was the healthiest I have ever been. Slowly but surely I put on the pounds and my depression became unbearable! The first year I didn't gain much, maybe ten pounds and went from a size 4 to a size 6. I weighed 135, now I weigh about 170. It's horrendous! I just switched birth control yesterday, so I hope it treats me better than Depo Provera!"


"I was on several psych meds trying to get a good combination. Everything I tried only got me so far. When I introduced lamictal it was amazing! I read someone said it was their miracle drug. That's for me also. The things I don't like about it is that (it doesn't happen so much any more) it makes me off balance. Kind of like I walk like a drunk person. Then the only other thing is that if I miss one dose it takes 2-3 days to get the brain/body shocks to stop. If you miss three days/doses I was told that you have to start taking the drug over again like you've never used it before. Don't miss getting your refills on time. I am definitely a "person" now as well. Without it life is extremely bad. I've been taking it for over 6 years."


"Great product. Company paid the co-pay too.  "


"Our 12 year old son was having terrible anxiety and could not get along with anyone at school.  He did not trust anyone and would not listen to anyone either.  He suggested suicide more than once but thankfully never went through with it.  We regularly saw a therapist but would not listen. We reluctantly decided to add the smallest dose of abilify to his depression medicine. In approximately 2 days we saw an immediate change.  He seems more "balanced" and the anxiety level down significantly.  It has only been 2 weeks....but so far so good."


"My mom who was on Prolixn for years was put on Abilify in 2005 and was on it until 2007.  She became more needy and more annoying, but wasn't having the psychotic symptoms as bad.  The mental health center who was regulating her medication never checked her blood sugar, only blood pressure.  She took a random blood test at a Walmart store and found her blood sugar was way out of control.  She comes from a family with no history of diabetes, and she did drink soda or eat high sugar foods.  She stopped taking the Abilify cold turkey which caused her to rebound into severe schizophrenic episodes. No one could reason with her."


"I started Saxenda in on 11/9 Thursday. First dose .6 at the doctors office weighed in at 228.6. Got a headache immediately but went away that evening. Today is 11/11 Saturday I administer in the mornings. No side effects so far, except a little more energy.  I weighed my self today and 230.2. Way to early to judge, but my cravings for starch and sugar are gone and food is starting to look and taste weird. My food portion intake is definitely less almost a struggle to eat. I will update each week."


"I was on Accutane when I was 16 for about 8 months. I first took 40 mg a day then he moved it to 80. The only negative side effect I had was dry lips. My doctor kept me on it longer because I have extremely sensitive skin and can't use topical things like benzoyl peroxide because it makes my break out in skin rashes.  I have had clear skin up until about six months ago. I am 24 so that's 7 yrs of clear skin. I am going back to my dermatologist this week so hopefully he will put me back on it because it is amazing. I would seriously stay on it forever if I could."


"Never taken any Antidepressants before. Had my first panic attack about a month ago and felt very down. Had another panic attack 2 days later. Felt as low and desperately sad as I ever have in my life. Came on very suddenly. Went to the doctor and he prescribed me 50mg of Sertraline.

First week was awful! Anxiety and depression even worse! Unlike a lot of you, I was terribly constipated. Sleep was disrupted but bearable. Appetite completely gone. No suicidal thoughts but felt so sad and low. However, having reading all your feedback I decided to stick with it. I am now on day 12 (I'm aware it takes a while to "kick in") and for the first time today don't feel quite so bad. Anxiety gone... Will stick with it for now..."


"I have suffered from severe, chronic constipation for over 5 years. This past August, I started drinking 2-3 capfuls of Miralax a day & was taking a massive dose of magnesium. Still, my abdominal pain/constipation persisted. Shortly after upping the Miralax/magnesium, I began to notice blood in my stools. As the fall progressed, I passed a bowel movement MAYBE once a week & it left me crying in pain each time. I was bloated & miserable. Recently, I saw a new GI who decided to do an endoscopy which revealed a large, bleeding stomach ulcer. She also decided to have me try Linzess. I have gone to the bathroom 1-2 times a day EVERY DAY since. This drug changed my life. *** TIP: DRINK MAG CITRATE 1-2 DAYS BEFORE STARTING TO AVOID CRAMPING/PAIN"


"I tried the Mirena due to heavy periods. I was 49 when I had it inserted. The cycle of the insertion last about 15 days. After that, my period hadn't lightened up at all. I actually had a period starting two weeks after the last one during the 5th month. I decided after the period of the seventh month that I wanted it removed. My cycle was still 6-7 days, but the last two months included an extra day of spotting started. By this time in the journey, I had celebrated my 50th birthday, knew that having more children was not on my "To Do" list, and really wanted my heavy periods to end. So, I had it removed and I am now scheduled for the ablation procedure. I had high hopes for the Mirena, but it wasn't the right fit for me."


"Me and my boyfriend did the deed on 3/10, the condom had broke. My period had just ended. We didn't realize until after when he was pulling out. We immediately began to panic. I took a quick rinse off shower (don't know if this is the best idea but oh well) after I rinsed off we went to the store and bought plan b. We went home right after and I took it. I was feeling really nervous about this whole thing. I began to read so many reviews. On 3/14 I began to bleed very heavily and had cramps that lasted for 6 days. I started having cramps, my breast hurt, and everything u can think. I was due 4/3. I took a test and it came back NEG. I was 12 days late before it finally came! It takes time but I promise everything will be okay in the end!"


"I've been taking Glumetza ER (500mg) for three weeks now and so far so good. My levels came down to 85-115 within the first five days from 230. I take it with breakfast but I'm thinking about changing it to dinner time because my numbers always go up while I'm sleeping. I sometimes get a slight headache about five hours after I take it and right about the same time have loose stools. It doesn't bother me as long as it keep my numbers down. I've lost a total of 11 pounds since finding out I'm type 2 and using Glumetza ER. I'm 32, 180lbs, 5'3" and a mother to two beautiful girls."


"This Medication gave me my life back , after being on most every type of other opioid medication and I mean everyONE. I have many minor/Major health problems related to chronic pain, neuropathy and arthritis, barely able to walk, within three months of intense Physical Therapy and 30mg Q12hrs (once morning , once before bed) , I have been able to work, walk with a limp but w/o a cane, no ups and downs like the Fentanyl Patches I had Rx'd for a year, Roxycodone, hydromorphone, oxymorphone IR and ER, and many more opioids, that seemed to give the euphoria that of course most people would become either physicaly dependent or develop an addiction disorder which I suffered from both . After I spoke with my Dr. I was able to get on Methadone."


"Really helps me out very well."


"Had good luck with it.

Wish I could still get it.  Told it is not avaialable."


"Hi. I am on day 16 of 10mg. The first 6 days I was very tired, excessively. But the majority of my anxiety was gone by then.  Days 6-8 I had severe insomnia, it passed and by day 9 I had no racing thoughts before going to slep. Today is day 16. I feel better about my life circumstances. I have a 9 year old with Aspergers. I am no longer spending every waking moment obsessing over what will become of his future. My cognitve functioning seems clearer.  Have been able to keep up more with home chores. Still not as energised as I would like to be. Coffee makes me more jittery since starting the meds. I can now tell the differnce between caffeine jitters and my real anxiety though.

I am hoping that by week 6-8 I have even more clarity."


"I have read so many comments on this birth control. I was on Seasonique (Doctor recommended for endometriosis) before LOSeasonique, because when I went to my doctors office and asked for samples (due to insurance changes) they were out of Seasonique, and only had Loseasonique. I asked the nurse if they were any different in dosage (wondering if I'd have more chances at getting pregnant) and she said they were about the same. LoSeasonique is my 5th pack already... and well I can say that it's helped me a lot when it comes to preventing pregnancy. Every 3 months I have had a super light period for over a year now. I have never really broke out only with stress... I just hate that I gained weight, have normally low grade fevers and cant sleep at night."


"Ok so just like all you I took plan B. Me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex a day after I finished my period. Not sure if he came in me or not I IMMEDIATLEY went to walgreens to buy plan b. The waiting game was hard. I spotted a week after taking plan b and my actual period was 3 days late. Here I am sitting here typing this with such great relief. Guys I thought I was pregnant. I had ALL these terrible symptoms and signs of pregnancy but guess what PLAN B DOES WORK. DO NOT BE PARANOID JUST GIVE IT SOME TIME.  YOU WILL BE OK I PROMISE.  I hope this gives you guys the relief and peace of mind. I felt like a zombie for almost a month because I was terrified. IT DOES WORK. Sending good vibes to whomever may need it. Ps. Don't think the worst"


"Listen, let me tell you about this drug. I thought I was dying. I was vomiting 5-6 times per week with no apparent cause and at random times (but more often in the morning). I had also gained 30+ lbs in the two years since beginning Amethia, but having always struggled with my weight I wasn't as concerned with that issue because I thought I just needed to diet. Well, I stopped taking Amethia about 3 weeks ago. The first thing that happened was that I had diarrhea for a week straight. Second, I immediately dropped 5 lbs, which I thought was due to the diarrhea, but the weight loss is continuing and I'm now down nearly 10 lbs in 3 weeks without trying. And finally, I haven't vomited for three weeks now, which is AMAZING."


"I have had acid reflux for over 16 years. Started with tums/rolaids and they offered some relief if I ate about 10 per day! Then I started on Prevacid, and it worked fine for a year or two, but still had some heartburn. Then tried Prilosec OTC since it was so cheap and it worked almost as good as Prevacid. Then a year ago my doctor started me on Zegerid, and it completely took away the heartburn. Now I have to make sure that I take it at least 15 minutes before I eat anything or I get wicked bad burps! An hour is best. Anyways I have been experiencing some side effects, so I may stop taking to see if they go away. I have been getting some dizziness, headaches, bad gas, stomach pain, and anxiety. They usually are mild."


"I just started taking Gabapentin, I only took one 100 mg and I feel spacey and dizzy.  Is this normal?"

"I have been on this for about 7 months.  I used to have unbearable periods with awful cramps and vomiting every month or every other month.  I would bleed through super tampons in about an hour.  I missed school the first day of every period because I would feel so terrible.  Now, I have periods that are only 3-4 days long and are super light. I can tell my breasts have swollen and I have gone up a cup size and gained a couple of pounds, but it is also College, so who doesn't gain a few pounds?  I would much rather have a little weight gain than those awful periods or a baby right now."


"Before I was on the Depo Provera shot,I had extremely painful periods..periods that were so painful, sometimes I would have to miss work. I would literally be doubled over in pain all across my lower abdomen, ibuprofen sometimes didn't help. This had been going on for several years, but last December I had enough, and decided to get the Depo Provera shot..I have been period free for several months now, and I feel so much better, I am one of the lucky few who hasn't really experienced any side effects. The Depo shot has been a miracle in my life, no more painful periods!"


"I have experienced depression for years now and nothing seemed to work or I would get all of the side affects. A few weeks ago my Dr prescribed Abilify and wow, it works. I am taking 5mg a day currently. I say give it a try. It improved my mood my depression. After a few days. It has given me a better quality of life with my 10 yr old son. It has pulled me out of the dark . I hope it keeps working."


"I was given Propofol for a tendon repair on the right wrist. I went out like a light, but on waking up had several cold like symptons including a sore throat and sneezing. I didn't think this was related but after reading other reviews that noticed these side effects I think it could be. Waking up was otherwise very good, but I forgot everything the surgeon told me just after I woke up."


"I have had chronic diarrhea for the last 26 years.   I have tried many, many different medicines, but none helped me except this.   I cannot believe how good I feel now.  My whole life consisted of knowing where the next bathroom was.  I was prescribed to take this  2x a day.  The following day after starting it, my diarrhea has stopped completely!!   I am now starting my second month on the medication and I have had no side effects and absolutly no problems.  I sure wish I had this many years ago."


"After reading the reviews I was nervous but went through with it. During the insertion I cried because it was super painful for me but my boyfriend sat by my side the entire time holding my hand to squeeze. The next few days there was some cramping. Nothing a heating pad & ibuprofen couldn't help! I am also a very active woman. I do a lot of circuit training/weightlifting & I love sex. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do my fav positions because some say they cramp, but I haven't experienced any cramping at all! I stopped bleeding after two days & I spot very little. Neither my boyfriend or I can feel it when we're intimate. Also! No side effects. Today I had my 1 month ultrasound & everything looks great! I'm very happy I got the IUD!"


"I've been on this medication for Bipolar I for over a year now. Recently I'm experiencing a bit of bipolar depression with irritability and anxiety, so my doctor has increased the dosage from 40 mg/day to 80, but I'm titrating up at 60 mg this week. I also take Lamotrigine at 75-100 mg/day and I already notice a positive difference, so I think it's fast-acting, which I initially noticed when I was first put on over a year ago (I posted a review here in June 2012). Some minor side effects for me are increased tension in the jaw area."


"I was only on this for a month because the symptoms were too much for me. The day right after getting this put in, I was very suicidal (never happened to me before) and my anxiety was through the roof. This calmed down after a few days, but the anxiety stilled showed up on and off. In addition, I bled every day for a the month I had it in (heavy bleeding and cramping). I also noticed my skin acting up. I did not gain weight, nor did this change my appetite, but the bleeding, anxiety, and depression were enough for me to quit. I read some blogs that indicated that some women didn't see a reduction in the symptoms even after a year on the pill. Lastly, my sex drive completely went away so it almost felt pointless to stay on this."


"Recommended by my endocrinologist, he gave me 3 pens as samples. Just started my third week into the liraglutide injections, had my first 1.8 last night. I'm still experiencing a lot of cravings, and constant-ish hunger. My portions are smaller, not because I can't eat more, but because I choose to make smaller plates. So far I've lost 6 pounds since October 7th (to October 22nd). I'm not really feeling the weight loss, or many side effects (mild nausea very infrequently, and some constipation). Hoping the higher doses have a better effect."


"I've written a review 2 months ago and things have changed a little. I'm 18 years old and I've been on this BC for almost 4 months. The first and second month and a half, I was experiencing bloating, nausea and pelvic cramps. I also felt a little depressed and down. I spotted in the third week of the pack and got my period on the placebo week. In my third pack, I spotted and only had my period for about 3 days when I normally have it for 5. I also had a yeast infection and a UTI 2 weeks later. Now, I'm on my third week of my fourth pack and I've been experiencing pelvic cramps for a week. I haven't spotted yet . My nipples started to feel sore too which was strange because it never happened since I started takin the birth control."


"I have awful allergies and have since I was a kid.  At 30 years old I finally couldn't take it anymore, and gave in and started taking medicine.  I take a prescription strength Claritin, and use Flonase, Fluticasone Propionate. I really like it because it takes effect immediately.  I actually like the smell of it. It cracks me up because it is for allergies, yet smells like flowers.  I noticed it works best if you blow your nose first and use it first thing in the morning. I did experience a mild nose bleed about a week into using it, but haven't had one since and I have been using it 4 months now."


"All my life I have had severe acne... I've probably tried any and every cream, drug, wash, etc. that is out there and nothing has ever worked.  So when I got engaged two summers ago I decided to go ahead and start birth control about 6 months before the wedding to see if THAT would work because I'd heard it did.  Well Ocella has DEFINITELY eliminated my acne, that part has been wonderful.  But I've experienced a huge decrease in my sex drive and more bothersome than that, I have been getting migraines at least three times a week regularly since I started taking it.  Also, I have learned now that it is geared more toward treating PMDD which I don't have and therefore is a higher dose of hormones which I don't need."


"Today is my third day with nexplanon and it is pretty great. I was nervous because I'm scared of needles but I didn't feel a thing. The first day my arm was sorta numb but it was fine. The second day and today I've had some breast pain but nothing too bad. I'll keep updated!"


"I was on Reclipsen for a year. I was not happy with my experience. I always had a short fuse and my acne got worse. The only good things were that I had no weight gain and my periods were much lighter and one day shorter than without birth control pills. My obgyn tried me on Zarah and I had an even worse experience, so she switched me back to Safyral."


"I acquired adult asthma at age 41.  I was using a rescue inhaler at least 1-2 times per day and was having a hard time sleeping due to increased nasal discharge and asthma symptoms.  Literally choking at night.  Dr put me on the Dulera recommended dose of 200 mg 2 puffs, 2 times per day.  I was out of my mind hyper although I could instantly breath better.  I dropped the dose down to 1 puff early in the day and the Dr. said that it was fine as long as I felt it was helping.  It's been 3 months, I feel amazing. I no longer wake at night.  My sinuses are no longer dripping.  I breath easier and I've lost 15lbs because my activity level has increased now that I can breath.  I have not needed a rescue inhaler once.  Amazing for my needs."


"I've been on Tri-Sprintec for about 3 weeks now. It definitely has it's pros and cons. First, I'll start by saying that I was put on this pill for abnormal uterine bleeding which came with THE WORST cramps EVER. So, doc prescribed me this and my mood swings have gone, there's no cramps, and the bleeding finally stopped after months. So, I'm assuming it's starting to regulate my cycle. BUT - I am experiencing the nausea and fatigue. I go to school FT and work FT so I seriously hope it ends, because I can't afford to miss either of those important parts of my life. Overall, it does the job as far as the bleeding and mood swings are concerned, but may not be worth the side effects I'm experiencing if they persist much longer."


"I started taking the toujeo 20 units at night about 1 month ago and started having lots of problems my back and neck and vision feeling of not well, being depressed. I really thought I was dying I got off of it yesterday got back on my metformin. I am beginning to get better. The side effects were not good.  I did not  think it was the shot right away but it did not take me long to realise. I don't wont to go through that again. Please pay attention  when you start feeling strange - be aware."


"I have been on Invokana two weeks now and I love it, sugars went from 300's to 90's. I feel great exercising again losing weight, but having the vaginal infections I hope as my body adjusts this will go away. Been diabetic since 2009 tried many meds. And this has been the best for me. I would recommend anyone to try it!"


"I am 18 but I have been taking vyvanse since I was 16 years old at 70mg and still taking the same dose. It is 100% better than concerta XL it has changed my life

The appetite is not the worst thing I just get really dehydrated and not notice it I can eat after taking it ( 4h after taking it)

Keep in mind I have been on stimulant like meds for years now I have grown to fight the appetite effects"


"I had the Mirena for 6 years, I loved it. The pros for me were no period at all just a little spotting every now and then, I did not have any pain at all. The only thing I have to say negative about it was that I did gain some weight and I had a very hard time losing weight with it, but I was ok with it. I guess it did not have to worry about getting pregnant it did its job. I just removed it 2 days ago and am just letting my period start up again."


"Provigil made me lose my appetite at first, I lost about 20 pounds. The energy was great for a few months but it lost it's effectiveness. It only took me four months to reach the maximum dose. "


"I started Nexplanon June 2015. I had spotting for the first 2 weeks, 1 period is July and haven't had another one yet. I don't feel any more anxious than before but I have gained 8 lbs so far. I love it other than the weight gain. Hopefully that stops"


"First I would like to state that I've read.  the comments & reviews on zubsolv in this thread, and I have to say that I think the positive reviews are BS. I think the pharmaceutical company paid people to write the reviews. Zubsolv is horrible! 3 hours after taking my dose I go into full-blown withdrawal. I'm in a long-term treatment center and everyone who has switch from suboxone to zubsolv mirrors what I'm saying. No matter what is being said, the Buprenorphine in zubsolv is not the same as Suboxone. Zubsolv is great if you want to be in withdrawal all day. Thanks, but no thanks"


"When fall sets in so do allergies where I live. After a trip to the doctor I was prescribed Allegra D- 12 Hour, and found that I had the sinus pressure relieved within 2 1/2 - 3 hours. However when drugs.com list states 'dizziness' as a side effect, they're not kidding. I had to get someone to take me home because I (personally) was too dizzy to even walk straight. So if this is prescribed to you I would suggest taking it on a day 'off' such as a weekend, or at night to discover how it affects you personally before you take it on a work day and find out the bad way."


"I am 26. I have two boys. I had no problems with mirena. Easy enough procedure, usual spotting, then no periods. I loved it, until after 1 year I realized I gained like 30 lbs...*note* I did nothing I usually dont do...I ate the same...I exercised even more. I've never been heavy, ever. Now I'm almost 200 lbs. That's the only problem I had. I got it taken out 1 month ago. If I don't lose my weight in 3-6 months I might put it back in and blame it on something else, but I doubt it."


"I rated Pristiq a 9 for the simple fact that although it was really helped me get out of depression, I have been having crazy vivid dreams.  The dreams are not pleasant, or bad, just weird.  I have flashbacks about them all through the day, and I can recall almost every little detail.  Some might argue that this is not a bad side effect, however, because of this, I've been having poor sleep.

All this said, it wouldn't be a reason for me to get off the medication.  It has really given me back my life!"


"hi this is my second time on orlistat the first time i carried on eating all the usal rubbish and the side affects were horrendice!!! so i came of them i decided to give them another try. i stoped snacking and have stuck to low fat diet just brekfast lunch and dinner its been a week today and ive lost 10 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope i can keep going. good luck x"


"I'm a 35 year old male with a BMI of 40, healthy blood pressure and no diabetes. Last year I was diagnosed with Binge Eating disorder. Cognitive therapy and DBT has been extremely helpful with my condition, but it's not 100%.  Contrave has provided that extra bit of a safety net that I need when I'm struggling.  It doesnt make me less hungry, but the Naltrexone blocks the positive feedback from my overeating,  stopping the cycle and helping to break my unhealthy associations with food.  I've never experienced nausea while on the full dosage.  The main drawback for me is that Contrave is expensive since my insurance does not cover it.  Considering asking my doctor if we can titrate me on a similar dose of generic Naltrexone and Bupropion."


"I got my Implanon in May of 2010 and I have called my doctor multiple times to get it taken out. They told me to give it a few more months, and I tried birth control pills with it to regulate. I actually lost weight (appetite) and haven't had headaches, cramping, or loss of sex drive-all of which make me love it. The only problem I have is bleeding. I bleed when I go to the bathroom (sometimes) but I definitely bleed with sex. This does cause problems in my relationship. If it weren't for the bleeding, I would absolutely LOVE this birth control. I have no complaints other than that, and I sure do hope that the bleeding stops."


"I'm rating this a 6/10 because it was INCREDIBLE for my acne. After a week my skin had never looked so clear in 10 years. It was seriously amazing. But unfortunately it made me unbearably dizzy. I had to stop after two weeks and I was so upset about it but I just could barely function. I've been taking Doxycycline now for a month and it works half as well but doesn't give me any side effects. I'm bummed out about it but it's worth trying in case you don't have the side effects I did."


"1st injection= mild swelling then relief. Injection 2 = intense swelling and pain. Synovitis. Had to get a steroid shot. Injection 3= they felt maybe the 2nd injection was in the wrong place and wanted to try again I did. Worse swelling and pain. It is not a suck it up buttercup thing. I am an ironman and have had surgeries. This is abnormal and swelling to the degree of not being able to bend my knee to 90 degrees. Nor straighten. It is painful and tight.   Bad reaction not good and not normal.  Now I will be at the Doc Monday 72 hrs post injection b/c I am so swollen I can hardly function.  He will draw fluid off and give me a steroid injection. This is awful anyway - too common."


"I must really have a problem. I take it for singing at church. But need a much higher dose than most I see on here. When I am just singing with the Praise Team I take 60 mg, but when I sing a solo I take 100 mg to feel no symptoms of heart palpitations, feelign like my throat is going to close with no notes coming out. And im 5'3 115 lbs female...started with 10mg and kept having to increase dosage until I felt symptoms gone during a performance.  Seriously dont know what I would do without this medication!!"


"Take only as necessary. 2.5 mg- 5mg. only when necessary. Been taking for years when I feel nervous and have a tension headache. Works great to relax me. 30-10 mg pills can last a year for me"


Bismuth subcitrate potassium / metronidazole / tetracycline

"I wish that I did not take this horrible drug (pylera).  I recently learned that taking raw turmeric would kill the bacteria.  During the treatment I thought I was going to die.  I absolutely had no energy.  I was dizzy, nauseated, had no appetite.  I could not take care my 3 kids.  I could not work.  I was in bed and counted down the days to finish the treatment.  I was not able to finish the last dosage.  6 weeks later I went in for a breath test and sure enough the bacteria was eradicated but I am left with horrible symptoms.  I believe this drugs have caused my body to be so weak that my chronic pain has aggravated, and my sensitive stomach has gotten worse.   My stomach demands foods every 2-3 hours. I have gained so much weight."


"Started taking Wellbutrin after the birth of my first child 9 years ago.  I had had a history of depression since college, and had tried different medicines but could not manage to take anything consistently.  Postpartum depression and alarming thoughts about harming my child were the final straw.  My doctor put me on Wellbutrin.  I did have some initial side effects, including trouble sleeping and lack of appetite.  I also had shaky hands for the first couple of weeks.  I have stopped and started a few times over the years thinking I didn't need it, but always ended up back on.  Each time I re-started I would experience the side effects for a few weeks, and have finally learned to just stay on it."


"I have been using the Jadelle implants ( levonorgestrel, unavailable in the US & UK) for 3 months now.
My experience has been a rather smooth one, other than irregular menstrual bleeding and feeling nauseous through out the day.
Plus they are very effective in preventing pregnancy.

This drug has had no effect on my weight whatsoever. In any case, I have lost almost 20 pounds through exercise and improved diet since I began using it.

I'd recommend this drug to anyone :)"


"I've had horrible migraines since I was still in high school so I finally went and saw a neurologist and after running several tests and experimenting with several different medications, DolgicPlus was the only one that relieved my migraine within 10 minutes. I did not experience any side effects whatsoever. I was finally able to just go about doing what I needed to do for the rest of the day. "


"I love Trinessa. I've been on it for about a year and a half now. Unlike other birth controls the most weight I gained since I started it is 2 pounds. I love it. Simple, easy to use, and effective. Give it a shot. Plus cleared up my acne!"


"I've been on LoSeasonique for about a month and one week. I take the pill every day at the same time. Haven't missed a day. I was spotting for two weeks, then I started my period. I've been on my period for a week and a half. I'm staying on it just to see if it gets better. But it is not worth only having your period every three months. This is torture. Plus I have the worst cramps of my life."


"I had increased oxygen to 4 liters and since starting Uptravi I have gone back down to 3 liters and not so short of breath anymore. The side effects are terrible and I just made it to 800 mcg taken twice a day and now suffering with dizziness, pressure in my head, joint pain and a warm sensation which starts from my chest up to my head. My pulse ox has not improved still in low 90s % and that is with oxygen and without it drops to 87 %. I am going to be starting another 200mcg twice a day added to the 1600 this coming Monday hug!"


"I have been on 1.75 for 10 months and I will never give this up. Sure the stomach was forced into a new appetite. But once I stopped any fried foods, cheese and a few other irratations, the stomach was happy. Funny thing was my mind stopped craving cheese and fried foods. Totally gone from things I think about eating. Thursday is my dose day. Wednesday night I have huge appetite, but still for good stuff. Lost 20 pounds, a1c down and blood pressure down. But best of all I am no longer with irritable bowels . No more cycles of loose and diarrhea. I feel my intestines are happy and I am absorbing minerals and nutrients now."


"So I got my Skyla IUD about 24 hours ago. I'm 25 years old, and never been pregnant.  Originally was wanting the paraguard due to no hormones, but my doctor told me my cervix was small, and recommends Slyla would be a better fit for my body.  The insertion wasn't bad, it was a lil uncomfortable, lot of pressure, and a mild cramping feeling.  The discomfort from getting the IUD inserted wasn't as bad as my period cramps, granted I typically have severe cramps.  I did have slight cramping after the insertion nothing bad, feels like a slight period cramps.  I did spot for about 5 hours after I had it put in.  So far so good though."


Aluminum hydroxide / magnesium hydroxide / simethicone

"Works every time."


"Start taking the medication to stop it. But it never did I've been on the pill for 2 weeks now and it seem like I'm bleeding more than when I was not on the pill having huge blood clots and bleeding uncontrollably calling doctor in the morning to see what I can do"


"I'd been drinking and getting drunk for 25 yrs. I've driven drunk to many times to count. By God's grace I never hurt myself or anyone else, or ever been pulled over by the cops. I recently lost what I think could of been the love of my life. My words were harmful when I got drunk. He had enough and won't except another apology from me nor my many attempts to contact him. I had to do something. Naltrexone is changing my life! I can't wait to get used to not overdoing it. I can't wait to be in a relationship without cursing him out due to me overdoing it. Hopefully I can get back the love of my life one day but for now I'm working on myself. I little bored and and little lonely but me being sober is worth it."


"I was switched to Viorele from Azurette about 3-4 months ago. Azurette was amazing. Light periods, no cramps, no acne, no mood swings, no weight gain and did not mess with my Libido what so ever . It worked with my body perfectly. Since I've been put on Viorele, I've had the WORST mood swings, and bad depression. My boyfriend has even noticed that I never want to do anything anymore and am on the verge of crying/ having anger episodes. I have not been myself since I've been on Viorelle. I was on my period for literally the first 2 months of taking it. I also have had NO sex drive. Which is also affecting my relationship. I know different medications effect differently to each person, but I wanted to share mine with this medication."


"Epiduo has saved my skin! I've been dealing with acne since late elementary school (I am now finishing high school). I've tried every product on the market. Finally my dermatologist gave me Epiduo and I noticed a difference within a week! I didn't get the side effects of dry skin but I did notice it irritated my skin a bit, I quickly got used to it. Now about 3 months later my skin is clear! I still get the occasional pimples brought on by teenage hormones but other than that, I'm completely happy with my skin! Thanks Epiduo!"


"This shot ruined my life. After recieving this vaccine I began to pass out up to ten times a day. I couldn`t do anything because I would faint without warning. Now I have horrible tremors, GI problems, and daily joint pain. I have heard other people have had these same effects from this vaccine. My doctor was very pushy about getting this vaccine. I would never recommend this vaccine."


"After trying four other types with horrible side effects, Velivet was a welcome improvement. First month was a bit moody and had spotting but after that my very irregular period (weeks off) became regular almost to the hour. I did not gain weight and have minimal decreased appetite. Doesn't seem to have a strong effect on my sex drive either way. Almost entirely cleared up my acne outside of a touch right before I get my period. Horrible cramps that would me bed ridden are mostly gone. Just have moderate cramps for 24 hours after first getting my period. Period only lasts 3-4 days now compared to 5-7 before."


"It helped but I stopped taking it because I'm trying to conceive."


"I couldn't understand where all this bloating was coming from. Along with joint pain and blurred vision since my hypertension has been treated and under cover for years.  Well, I found out that the generic version of venlafaxine ER included a hydrochloride extended release that was also in the brand.  Thought I was in menopause - but I'm not.  The increase in my blood pressure is causing quite a bit of other problems.  I don't know which is worse, uncontrollable hypertension with complications for my thyroid medicine because of the iodine from the sodium or the depression from the hypothyroidism.  Either way - my doctor is working on the problem because I just can't take myself off my medicines."


"I've been on trintellix for 10 weeks now, roughly. I was on 5mg for awhile, now on ten. At first the nausea was unbearable and all it really did was stop me from getting overwhelmingly sad as often but now I've found that I'm more outgoing and capable of trying my best even in uncomfortable situations. The nausea is still there but it becomes super tolerable and gravol is a lifesaver. The only time it became a problem is when I was sick, I vomited non-stop, I had bronchitis so apparently the throat pain mixed with nausea was to blame. Still, overall trintellix has done wonders for my mental health and I'm hoping the majority of others can agree or find another medication that will do for you, what trintellix has done for me."


"What a difference it has made in my life."
