"Worst drug ever-- I am usually not allergic to any drug but I Just took it for 2 days and have the worst body pain, muscle soreness, feverishness. The list of long term side effects from this drug is appalling. As a scientist and cancer biologist I usually take extra caution as to what drugs I consume but the side effects of this drug is scary and having experienced it first hand I am stopping it just after two days of use. My face is still dry and has acne and I am close to 40. Hopefully a topical cream will help- definitely not solodyn!"


"First i want to say that everyone is different and not everyone reacts the same to medication.
I started with Concerta, it didn't work for me at all. I didn't feel like myself, it took over my personality and I started to have heavy anxiety, panic attacks, anti social and paranoia.

Then I got Vyvance and its life changing, It doesn't feel like I'm on a prescription. It's more a tool that helps me get through everyday life. I'm much calmer, I can concentrate on one thing at the time. I get so much more done and I feel like I'm in peace with my mind. My patience has improved, I'm less impulsive and I can sit for a long time straight without feeling bubbly or restless.

Side effect- Dry mouth, no appetite. But EAT and eat smart, it gets back."


"I take 7.5mg a day for schizophrenia, I have only been on this medicine for 5 weeks but it has helped me immensely with both negative and positive symptoms. I have gained weight but its a small price to pay for some peace of mind, honestly couldn't be more grateful for this medicine."


"Xolair is life-changing. I was diagnosed with severe allergic asthma 35 years ago.  While I still take regular maintenance medicines in addition to a steroid inhaler, Xolair had allowed me to give up my nebulizer and has turned of the allergic rhinitis faucet in my head.  At the time of my last injection I was wheezing slightly (residual symptoms from a three week battle with bronchitis).  Within 15 minutes of the injection the wheezing had stopped and I was breathing easier. I've taken Xolair since 2005 without any adverse reaction.  My symptoms are better controlled with Xolair than at any time in my life.  Truly a miracle."


"Wow same problem here! Chin zits just like the big undergrounders that you would get in high school. On top of that my mood swings are seriously out of control. I can just snap at any moment. Definentley would not recommend ."


"All right people, let's get a few items out of the way to begin. NO, methadone does not "rot your bones" or your teeth. Not taking care of your teeth and being nutrient deficient WILL rot your bones and teeth. Brush your teeth 2x or 3x a day, floss, use mouthwash and take bone health supporting vitamins and nutrients and that will help keep your skeletal system in good nick. YES, methadone has an unusually long withdrawal period. why? because it's half-life is very long when compared to other opiates; up to 60 hours versus some opiates with half-lifes of 6 to 8 hours. of course the withdrawal period is going to be more pronounced and prolonged - it's basic chemistry and biology here, people. methadone, put simply, WORKS."


"On phenobarbital from age of 2 to 8, because I passed out in the high chair, probably hyperventilated.  I was giving dose before bed every night. I couldn't fall asleep till nearly morning.  As an adult,  on meth for 20 years. I don't know if there is a connection or not, but no one else in my family is an addict. I don't mean to whine, just telling my experience."


"I read a lot of comments on hydromorphone and thought it would help me greatly with my chronic back pain. So I was shocked when I got the 2mg script and got no relief in pain whatsoever even after taking 6mg. "


"I was diagnosed with bipolar when I was 14 years old I am now 34 years old. I have been many different medications for my bipolar. Seroquel has been a wonderful medication. I take 1000mg at bedtime. I have been on it for almost 16 years. It works well for me."


"I used to be obese, fat whatever you want to call a person who was a compulsive eater. Eleven months later I am now on a blood pressure medicine but dropped three other medicines. Total weight loss fifty four pounds and I now control what I eat. Congratulate me as I made my goal and still use Belviq to help me keep the weight off forever."


"7 days out of 10. Some sinus improvement but the vile taste in my mouth is awful. Desperately trying to make sure I continue taking the tablets but not sure I can cope with the erratic sleep and waking up in the night with my mouth feeling like a sewer. Paranoid that my breath must smell as bad as the taste so over doing the mouth wash!"


"I've tried almost every muscle relaxer out on the market, nothing worked as well as Lorzone! Its been a Godsend for me. I have multiple chronic spinal issues, some that cause severe muscle spasms. Lorzone has made my life more bearable. It may take about a week when you first start to actually work on your spasms, then continue as directed and you'll notice a difference in the amount, and severity of spasms. I've also noticed within a week or two of stopping Lorzone the spasms return. :( Unfortunately I'll be on meds for the rest of my life.

My insurance only pays a very small part of cost, I use the coupon that lorzone provides, ask your doctor for it, its on the box of samples they get from the company."


"I've been on sprintec for about a year and a half, no weight gain, cleared up any pimples, 5 day long periods, and no pregnancies. The downside is I've become more sensitive emotionally, the smallest thing can make me upset especially around my period, and I get extremely bad hunger pains that never used to happen before the pill. I would still give it an 8/10 because it hasn't negatively impacted me physically and it's done its job."


"I have neuropathy in my feet and slightly in my hands. Amitryptiline made my pain livable - still bad, but I could function. When I began taking Cymbalta along with the amitryptline, almost immediately the pain subsided and practically disappeared!  I no long take the Amitryptiline and Cymbalta keeps the pain to a low ebb, allowing me to sleep and join in activities I had long given up.  Doesn't do a thing for my "attitude", but being relatively pain free does make me happy."


"Been on 150 for 3 weeks. It's been up and down but overall up. I'm bipolar and have rage issues so I was very worried about that but it has actually been less of an issue than with other antidepressants I've been on (Celexa, Lexapro) and tried unsuccessfully (Cymbalta, Prozac, Latuda). Also, I tried the generic non XL a few years ago and it did throw me into a blind range. I was a little prone to "upsetness" like sensitivity that I would then lash out in anger, but not rage, for the first two weeks. Had some anxiety issues but those have dispersed. Otherwise, libido is normal again after Lexapro and now getting motivated to get out of bed to eat or go to work or shower is like picking up a 1 lb weight instead of  a 20 lb weight. 25yoF"


"Take 25 mg daily - 15mg morning /10mg evening for 46 years.
No side effects. No symptoms. Restored my well being!"


"I'm 17 years old and I've suffered with bad skin since I can remember.. Been on lots of anti biotics, the pill, cream and finally put me on roacuttane. My skin was bad as I had it on my face, back , arms and chest! My worst was on my arms and now there are loads of dark scars. Roacuttane had really cleared up all the pimples and face spots I had within the first 2-3 months which is great. Lips have been awful and have had rash on my hands. My nose has also appeared more with white heads which I remove with nose strips once a week now which is great. I also have back pains from the tablets and feel tired most of the time which isn't too great because I'm doing exams.. I feel more confident as I can now show my face without makeup to people!"


"I've only taken Belviq for 3 days but have had wonderful results already! I've lost 5 lbs. My doctor started me out slowly taking it only in the mornings for the first 3 days just to ensure my body could tolerate it. Tonight I will also begin to take it in the evenings. I have had a bit of a dry mouth but I don't mind, I just need to drink more water. I did stop drinking soda, and cut back on some of my calories. Tomorrow I start at my gym, so it will be interesting to see if I lose more weight or gain muscle. I don't usually tolerate meds very well, so I'm really happy that this seems to be working for me so far. I'll post another update as I get further along. My insurance doesn't cover weightloss medicine, but the discount card helps."


"Super easy experience! No pain at all! It was over with in less than 2 minutes, it was a breeze!"


"My pharmacy changed my birth control pill to this. From the very beginning I experienced symptoms that my doctor did not explain to me. I began experiencing shortness of breath, tachycardia, severe dizziness, heart burn and indigestion. I also noticed that every time I drank coffee the symptoms would get worse. I do not recommend this medication. I got off this medication about 3 weeks ago and now I'm feeling much better except for the occasional dizzy spell. Working out and eating well have helped me manage the symptoms. Please consider other brands because it's not worth feeling sick all the time while taking this medication."


"This medication didn't do anything for my clinical depression or anxiety, but it did help me  gain about 90 pounds which I desperately needed due to my anorexia."


"Suboxone is a miracle pill -- it saved my life!  Withdrawal symptoms immediately disappear and very little side effects."


"I've used NoDoz plenty of times in the past and would highly recommend to those the need a midday/afternoon energy boost for work or study.

I would usually only take one tablet a day when I do use NoDoz and usually within 30min-1hrs I start to feel the results, keeps me awake, focused and energetic while on the job.

There are some negatives with NoDoz though:
-if you take them too often their effectiveness starts to wear off e.g you will still feel tired and not alert but you won't be able to sleep.

-NoDoz can interrupt your sleep and keep you awake during the night

-would alway recommended having plenty of water while using NoDoz otherwise you may start to feel dehydrated and may lead to headaches"


"I have to say that these pills are a miracle when it comes to pain. The reason I wanted to post my review of Percocet is because of the very, very, vivid dreams. I actually just woke up and had a dream that scared me half to death. I really and truly thought that I saw my wife cheating with another man I could not believe it, you guys have no idea how REAL it felt. So just letting you guys know."


"I was taking Celexa for 6 years. It didn't work for me like it once did. I'm 44, hormones are changing. Started Lexapro 4 weeks ago. No side effects, happy and feeling very positive, normal. Once in awhile, I feel angry, but yoga takes my anger away quickly."


"I went to a weightloss clinic on Tuesday June2nd . I have been battling my weight for years ( ever since I had 4 kiddos) I'm 5'5 and my starting weight was 184.4 lbs I started the script the same day that I had it filled and as of today Friday June 5th I am down to 177lbs ! This is absolutely unreal! 7lbs in 3days !
 I have had slight insomnia , constipation and crazy dry mouth all of which are easily solved . a lil melatonin for sleep , cascara sagrada for constipation and tons of water for dry mouth . I can't wait to see where I am at the end of june !!!"


"I had one shot for PSA ,Psoriasis and it looks like I have gotten stung by a thousand bees and my psoriasis is worse six weeks after my shot. Needless to say I did not get the second shot. Worst drug reaction that I have ever had."


"Was prescribed this for suspected strep throat. I had a fever so the doctor went ahead and prescribed this to me.

First day I had loose stools and nausea. This continued until the fifth day I had severe muscle pain and a severe headache. It was a struggle to just walk to the bathroom. Right now I have watery diarrhea and stomach cramps. Earlier today I had fever and severe body chills. Over the counter pain meds have not made a dent. Last night I was tossing & turning in pain, and got very little sleep.

Cure worse than the cause! I've tolerated many other antibiotics very well in the past, and I will never allow my doctor to prescribe this to me again."


"Diabetic for 7 years.  Started with Metformin only.  Then added Starlix with meals.  Small improvement with post-prandials.  Exchanged the Starlix with glimepiride.  Have been on glimepiride for 2 and a half years with meals.  Does not prevent my spikes but does pull them down within a short time. The sudden drop makes me feel low when I am just "dropping" FAST into the normal range.  The problem is the time it remains in effect will cause me to be low (50;s) during the night while sleeping if I take with last meal of day.  Without it, I skyrocket after eating and slowly come down.  My doctor is taking me off of glimepiride because of the lows while sleeping and will put me on another med.  My A1C's have been climbing over the past year."


"Big mistake taking my first Claritin D 24 at  7PM for sinus pressure from using a nasal decongestant the day before and getting a rebound effect of clogged breathing passages. Didn't sleep a wink all night!! My nasal passages are wide open though, so it works. However, insomnia is a real pain. It's 6AM and I feel like it should be 1AM bedtime. I'll be struggling through the day today. Restless In Philly."


"This is the only antidepressant that has worked to help my depression. Others have helped with anxiety, but not for depression. The side effects are as listed, but are manageable and, in my case, have gone away two weeks into 40mg titration."


"I'm in UK and had to buy this myself, my last hope before considering surgery. I've been taking 0.6mg daily for 5 days and began doing 20 minutes on my exercise bike each morning. I've lost 6lbs already. I'm eating healthy small meals and have no hunger at all. It's amazing. To keep the cost down for me I am going to see how long I can get benefit from 0.6mg. I'm highly motivated and I think this drug is finally telling my brain that I can do this!"


"felt the familiar symptoms of a stone.  doctor said it was 4 mm.  gave me flowmax. I had symptoms of the stone for about 3 days.  Took one flowmax pill, and within 8 hours the stone passed.  My past experience was to have two stones stick and require surgery.  Was it the flowmax, or would it have passed on its own?  Who knows....for now I am a believer!"


"I have had acne since I was 12 (I'm 21 now) and this did not clear me up completely but my acne is definitely better, they aren't as big, or painful, less cystic acne. The first week it I was very emotional and nauseous but when it passed everything was fine. I also did not gain weight nor did my hair get thinner, or I don't notice because I have naturally thick, curly hair. I do recommend Ortho Tri Cyclen."


"Been on this for 3 months. Yes it does diminish the pain, but feel terrible by the side effects. Get mood swings, hot flashes, acne and if that's not bad enough weight gain. It's like you are a whole new person and not a very nice one. I have also been feeling very depressed. I only have one more month until my surgery so I'm trying to stick it out. Best of Luck ladies."


"Perhaps the lack of eating too much contributes to some of the good results. People underestimate the importance of good diet and activeness!"


"Been on Victoza for a month.  Nil side affects. Weight is down 8 pds.  Cravings gone.  Perfect drug but still not seeing better glucose, still running in 200s.  Hope the second month brings better control."


"This medication was awful. My numbers were never very good with this medication but I gave it a chance to work. It landed me in the hospital. I couldn't urinate cause my kidneys were failing. I do not recommend this medication at all!!!"


"Good "


"first dose .75 of Trulicity is my last. Only able to work 1 day out of 8. Doctor really downplayed the side effects. Vomiting every day, can't eat (or keep down any food), diarrhea is consistency of water.
Absolutely a HATEFUL drug!"


"I have high pressure in my head from a brain injury last year. Morphine won't touch what Dilaudid can. It has worked great for my headaches which they say is the worst head pain ever experienced. So anyway a lot of narcotics will give me rebound pain but this one does not. Only side effects if not given with Zofran, it makes me vomit."


"Cymbalta, unfortunately, did not work for my general anxiety disorder.  I took it for two months.  The worst part was that it made me feel nothing and my other medications less effective.  The good part was that it made my frequent urination decrease--probably because it made a lot of me feel numb including my bladder."


"The taste?  Cough syrup and ipecac.   The flavor of this medicine makes me gag, tears spring to my eyes, and I got down 5 small gulps before vomiting.  Finishing it or the second bottle are unfeasible.

Have to reschedule and find an alternative; my body won't allow it."


"It is super expensive. I've used it one year now for four toenails. I helped one nail somewhat. Three toenails are still having the problem. NOT a success. Pure rip off to make money"


"I took Loestrin Fe 24 for 8 months, and while my acne certainly improved and my period was lightened, that's about the only compliments I can give this medicine. I took my pill every day at the same time. Rarely was I ever late in taking it. Despite all that, my libido decreased exponentially, I had two small periods during the month and experienced radical mood swings (feelings of anger, depression and anxiety). To those of you who have had a good experience with this pill, I'm happy for you. "


"I have been on 2.5mg of Bystolic for 3 months now.  I found this forum searching to see if others feel tired and sleepy from this drug.  It worked for me right away but now I am ready to head to bed at 9:00 and never have a problem falling asleep.  If I am not active during the day I feel tired.  It's lowered my heart rate while running and my 8:30- 8:45 per minute miles are now 9:30-10:00.  My cardiologist says that if it becomes unbearable he can find an alternative.  Not sure what I am going to do as the drug is doing it's job with my BP."


"I am a 38 year old female who has lupus, asthma, and chronic bronchitis. After 2 months of violent coughing fits at night I was prescribed Tussionex Pennkinetic. The coughing ceased immediately, as did the pain, and I could finally breathe! It did cause itching, strong drowsiness (a plus because I was sleep deprived) and dry mouth, but it was absolutely worth it."


"So I took plan b one step after the condom broke which was November 21 I took it 1 hour after and I was hoping and hoping it would work because it was one of my fertile days before ovulation. After I took it I looked at the reviews about it on here and I was feeling more calm about knowing it worked on people. So all I could really do is wait till my period came. I was so devastated the pill didn't work because 3 days later I felt like I was ovulating since I got a lot of discharge. But I had to wait since my period was to come December 8. I had no symptoms at all except a lot of discharge. After 2 weeks my period came 1 day early on December 7. So I was relieved that Plan b one step WORKS! Don't stress a lot it works just be patient "


"As I was reading reviews wondering when this kicks in, it happened. Took 10oz in the afternoon and again in evening for colonoscopy prep, didn't drink enough water, and only made 1 movement. Thought "30 min to 6 hours til it works? Did I do it wrong? It's been almost 12." Yes, I did. I didn't drink enough water afterwards. Drink lots of water! I woke up at 2am and didn't trust a fart. Tummy gurgling, sitting down, browsing the net, and boom. You'll pee out your butt with this, no joke. Give it time and it'll take anywhere from 30 mins to 6 hours to kick in, possibly 12 if you're me and didn't drink water after. Got it for 97 cents in cherry, grape, and lemon flavor. They all taste like super sour candy and it helps to take with Gatorade."


"I was prescribed the 0.5mg tabs for anxiety and panic attacks. I have only been taking them for a few days now but they definitely do calm me down. The only side effects I get are a little sleepiness and a slight headache.

I don't think the 0.5mg tab would be enough for a full on panic attack, I think I would need to take 3 or 4 of them. My only problem with these pills is that sometimes it takes 2 or 3 hours for it to fully kick in."


"I have been taking trazodone for generalized anxiety disorder, some insomnia and mild depression for 40 days. This medicine helps me a lot for anxiety and insomnia but not too much for the mild depression. I think thanks to trazodone I got girlfriend because I felt relaxed more confident of myself and ideas come easily. I don’t have important side effect just mild ones like getting some nights hard painful erections that makes me worry to get a priamism but finally it doesn’t happen. Sometimes I feel a little sleepy and I experienced a little down in my libido but I am not sure this last one is caused by trazodone, anyway the benefits are over these mild side effects."


"Was given this medication for cold sores which had gone down into my throat thanks to having a weak immune system from Lupus. This needs to be tested on viral bronchitis. I had a cold sore starting as the symptoms of viral bronchitis started so began taking the med yesterday (day 5 of cold) and took my first dose right at 24 hours ago. Im still very tired and feel a little feverish but my nose and chest are 90% better. My mom has had this cold/virus for 14 days and still fighting it, I have lupus so every cold takes me weeks to overcome. Im sure the med is helping with my cold."


"I have been taking Latuda for about three weeks now for bipolar II.  I don't suffer too badly from it, mostly slight depression and irritability. Started week one on 40 mg and was still slightly depressed but not cranky. Upped it to 80 mg and am feeling sunshiny again. Positive attitude is back, interest in things, no longer cranky, more focused, more outgoing. The only MAJOR problem is I am sleepy all the time! I tried taking it at dinner, bedtime, and lunch. I pass out out at 8:30 at night, can't get up in the morning and fight to stay awake at my desk at work. I have read lots of other posts that people have said it passes after a month or so, I really hope so because otherwise its a great med. No other side effects for me."


"Had this for a skin/ wound infection. Took 3 into the course and felt so awful had to ask for different ones. Dizzy, out of it/ woolly headed, nauseous, bad taste in mouth, everything tastes awful, farty and generally a horrible experience. It makes sense about feeling terrible due to it killing bacteria in the body but I never want to take it again."


"So I was a lil weary when I was prescribed this. I had tried a bunch of other "Clinical Strength" products and nothing really worked. But I gave it a go anyway. I have to say I'm amazed. The first night I used too much and it burned, but the next day I had not a drop of sweat under my arm. Nothing....dry as a bone. I am so glad, this medicine is like a miracle to me."


"Gained weight from the depo shot. Went from 110 to 173 in 9 months! I'm 22 and only 5'2 & 1/2. I have done everything. Countless gym memberships, fad diets, personal trainers and programs like Weight Watcher and It Works. I went from 173 to 123 from tons of different methods over the course of a year and a half to two. Now, a few months ago the doctor put me back on Celexa. I went from 123 to 143 within a month and a half.. Not happy after all of my hard work. I've already worked my butt off to lose weight, lost what I wanted to and then gained 20 back from another medication. My doctor understood my frustration and started me on Belviq August 1st. August 7th.. I am down 5.4 pounds!!! I walk 2 miles a night, only drink water. Love it!!!!!"


"Not as effective as Xanax or Klonopin."


"Been on 40mg of Fetzima for about 3 months and love it! So helpful for mood and energy. I also have increased sex drive and zero cravings, hence, inevitable weight loss. 40mg is the only dose I have taken, so my experience might be different if dose was higher or lower. This drug reminds me of Wellbutrin (which is NDRI), but slightly less stimulating.

Cons: still brand name only, so can be expensive depending on where you live and insurance situation. Also, Fetzima is only approved to treat depression, so no improvement in anxiety symptoms. Vistaril helps with this, especially if you or your doctor are hesitant about benzos."


"I know that people read these reviews with doubt. I am also aware what works for one won't always work for another.

Based on my own experience this cream has been amazing. I had, for months, persistent redness and lesion type marks on my cheek and they have dramatically cleared up since going on this cream a month ago. It's important to say I am using an anti-biotic (tetralysal) too but as I understand it (not that I am claiming great knowledge), it would take months for the anti-biotic to really kick in. On that basis I am attributing the immediate improvement to the cream.

I am from Ireland and the cream is dear c. €40 but to be honest I'd have paid more for the improvement! I genuinely hope this helps someone else!"


"HPV base of penis about 15+ yrs ago. 7 to 8 warts ranging in size from small dot like this "." to 2 to 3 mm further out from base. 1st had liquid N2 applied.. came back w/in 6 months.

Prescribed Aldara (new on market at the time & I don't think the side effects were well or widely known?)

I was told small amount once /day, 14 days.

By the evening of the 2nd day fever-
chills started. Application site was irritated. Day 5 was  AGONY. Felt as if skin, including scrotum had been peeled off! (didnt put it there). Fever, achy (immune response in high gear!)

Stopped treatment, pain continued to worsen 2 days.  2 weeks to heal....BUT HPV COMPLETELY GONE 15+ yrs.

 I would recommend stop @ 1st sign of irritation, wait, apply again, stop, etc"


"Loved this birth control! I never had spotting or breakthrough bleeding during the 3 months of active pills. So nice to not have a monthly period. The only reason I'm switching is because my acne has gotten really bad because of stress."


"30. Male. I was completely lethargic and I had pretty bad anxiety. I always stressed about job assignments at work and rarely ever wanted to leave my room at home. I had no energy and I frequently called into work. I thought I had low testosterone so I had some bloodwork done, my doctor prescribed me lexapro 10mg in the meantime and I felt my anxiety and depression just disappear. I remember the moment I knew the medication was working when I was sitting on my porch feeling glad to be alive for once, enjoying the weather and just smiling. I feel like my old self before the crazy depression. Yawning and diarrhea is annoying. But I'll take that to enjoy little pleasures in life again."


"I have been on ativan for 15 years%u2026 started at 1mg and was gradually increased to 4mg. The medication only numbs things the anxiety never went away, and after I started taking I started getting other symptoms like OCD, social anxiety, depression and others

I should never have trusted the Dr and should have researched the drug before taking. I will never again just take anything without researching it. I am slowly tapering it off, the withdrawals are a nightmare but staying on this medication which should be banned is not an option. This medication was never intended to be prescribed longer then a few weeks. Drs and drugstores are completely to blame right beside the drug companies. They all know it%u2019s poison."


"I just got my Skyla inserted yesterday, and I, like most girls, psyched myself out beforehand by reading a ton of horrible stories about it. I went in with a bad mindset. I also got scheduled to have it inserted on the first day of my period, which is not what I wanted to do. They recommend insertion during your period, but usually not the first day. So I had absolutely terrible cramps to begin with. I have to say, the insertion process was definitely the worst pain I've ever experienced in my entire life. I'm 21, no children, and have been on the pill since I was about 18. If I could suggest anything, don't have it inserted on the first day of your period, if you have terrible cramps like I do. I got terribly sick and almost passed out."


"Age 63. I developed pneumonia from a respiratory infection passed on from my wife the school teacher.
Once a day Levaquin knocked out the pneumonia in 5 days and an x-ray on day 7 my lungs were clear.
On day 9 I developed tendonitis in my shoulder replacement that had been in place for 3 years.
I was prescribed a  high power NSAID by the orthopedic surgeon.  After 3 weeks. I turned out fine."


"I have been taking Apri for one month now and I absolutely love it! No side effects or weight gain or anything! It was my first pill ever taken and I'm so happy there are no complications. I recommend it to anyone! Excellent choice!"


"I don't see a difference in thoughts or feelings."


"I told myself if it worked I was going to write a review, because I know how scared I was and I came here for comfort. I had unprotected sex with a guy I wasn't even dating, around the beginning of July. I took the pill less than 12 hours after the incident happened. A week after I took the pill, I got a period for around 5 days, heavy, brown, but with no cramps. It described implant bleeding almost to closely, so I grew even more scared!!! I had slight breast tenderness around the time aswell but nothing other than that. I just got my period yesterday, almost a full month after I missed my original period date. DON'T freak out if your period is more than a week late, mine was nearing 4 weeks late before it finally came. Stay hopeful! ❤"


"I have been taking this medication for about 8 months.  My skip beats have been significantly reduced.  I have not had any fainting spells, and my quality of life has also improved tenfold.  My cardio just cut my dose in half because of my kidneys I think.  I just hope they don't take me off of it, it has made such a big difference in my life."


"I weighed 207 when i started. I took it for about a month. I lost 13 lbs. I was never hungry. Just took my large food cravings right away. But it took my short term memory right with i.  It was kinda  scarey. I had to stop taking it . I could not work safely because i was just too forgetful while taking this. The weight came back faster than it came off And gained even more weight. But I ate like I did before taking this drug soon as i stopped taking it."


"My face was actually looking pretty good for a while. I wanted to totally clear my face so I got on proactiv MD with adapalene gel 1%. So far it has only made my face break out more. I’ve been using it for about 3 weeks now. What should I do?"


"My wife gets urinary tract infections frequently due to a catheter and 10 days on Levaquin takes care of it. This drug is great."


"Just started taking Trintellix 4 days ago. No nausea, I have had headaches but that's kinda a common thing for me, so not sure its the med. But my whole reason for getting on here was to see what people had to say about any side effects of dreams. Many dreams all in one night, and none of them are good. I stopped taking VYBRID because of insomnia. Now with this medicine So far its crazy dreams. I'm hoping this is only temporary. No changes in my anxiety and depression yet.....so I guess I will wait and see as usual."


"I tried other medications for RA before trying Enbrel and they either did not work for me or had side effects that I couldn't handle. Without Enbrel I would likely be disabled. That said, the cost of this medication without employer-provided insurance is completely unaffordable.The recent changes to the Enbrel Sureclick autoinjector (circa 2016, maybe 2015) are terrible. As another user mentioned below, the button on the old injector would go off easily once it was up against your skin. Now it is harder to push and harder to predict - you can go through several rounds of psyching yourself up for the injection only to have the autoinjector not go off each time. Frustrating!!"


"Worst medication ever. Ruined my health. It's chemical lobotomy."


"After trying 8 different smoking cessation meds, 5 of them prescription only, my doctor put me on Nicotrol Nasal Spray. It is the only medicine that has ever worked for more than a month. Best thing is, my insurance company has a policy of NO CO-PAY for prescription smoking cessation medications. So no cost to me whatsoever. How great is that? From a health insurance company, no less. They finally came to their senses and realized that it is much cheaper to pay a small amount up front to encourage people to quit smoking rather than pay millions on the end when long-term smokers contract cancer - prevention as opposed to treatment."


"I was not able to function on this medication. I took one half of my pill as directed. 30 mins later I was hot, felt sick, everything irritated me. I was dizzy. I had to lay on my couch for 3 hours. I will never take this again."

"Four years ago, at age 70, my doctor gave me a starter pack of Seroquel. It turned out to be the proverbial, "silver bullet". I haven't had a single episode of depression or hypo-mania since I started taking it. Three noticeable side effects have occurred:
1. I typically sleep 12 hours out of every 24 hour cycle,
2. My body fat distribution has increased my waist by 5 inches, but my weight has remained about the same,
3. Two years ago I was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic.
For approximately the prior 20 years I experienced several episodes each year as a "rapid cycler". Dozens of drugs had been tried without much success. As a staid person when not in an episode, it is not my style to be hyperbolic in describing my personal experiences."


"I would rate this above 10 if I could.  This is the best birth control I have ever taken.  I suffer from PMDD and my time of the month without yaz I feel like I could hurt people for no reason at all, just because I didn't like the way they looked at me or what ever. Anyways Yaz has helped that out so much.  My husband is so happy with the results.  I have had no weight gain, no cramping and only 3 day periods with very little bleeding and the best part is no irritability or major mood swings."


"3/10 to help me sleep but had bad nightmares, broken sleep, felt drugged, lifeless and not motivation when I couldn't sleep any longer. Length of broken, vivid nightmare filled sleep approx 5 hrs. Throwing this Trazadone away. Days of use, only 3."


"This works wonders for me, but makes me a little nutty for awhile. Better than migraines by a long shot. They try and make it taste minty, but still a little foul tasting."


"I read all of the reviews which scared me. I even had one of my friends tell me that she went mental on the medication and to not do it. Likewise my beautician also warned me of the side effects saying she felt 10

X older and your skin should be very bad before considering it. I decided to start regardless of the reviews on the basis that I could stop if it all got too much.

I am 29 had perfect skin all of my teenage life and gradually into my 20s I was getting huge cystic acne on my chin and cheeks. When one went away and scarred another would form and so the vicious cycle continued.

I have had very minimum side effects! Dry lips but seriously not bad at all. Do not believe the reviews! Go on it it will

Change your life !!"


"I use Alesse and it works in that I have not gotten pregnant and that it drastically lightens my periods.  The bad thing is that ever since I started taking it 3 years ago I've been tired all of the time.  Morning, noon and night!  It's getting worse so I'm going to stop taking this pill.  I want my life back."


"My daughter is 8. She started on Concerta over a year ago, didn't work long enough. The doctor started her on Intuniv for ADHD and Lexapro for depression. After about 3 weeks it was working great. She calmed down, started doing her school work AND homework. The worst side effect she has is dry mouth. I think if I can get that under control she will be great."


"I have had severe lower back pain for many years. I have 2 bulging disc, 1 ruptured disc which causes paralysis and severe pain in my left leg, degenerative disc, arthritis and a small deformity on my lower spine and I'm only 40 years old. I'm on the couch and unable to walk a lot of the time. The pain was so severe. The doctor put me on Cymbalta and referred me to a neurosurgeon. The neurosurgeon finally said they would do surgery to fuse my lower back. I have been on Cymbalta for a little over 3 months now and I'm pain free. I have canceled my surgery.  I have my life back. Love it."


"Didn't work for me. 18 years old and had sex with my boyfriend then he came in me. Took the pill about 11 hours after and missed my period that was supposed to come 2 weeks later. 1 month later and I took a test to find out I was pregnant."


"This is the only anti depressant I've ever been on and I've been on it for about 4 months now I've had about 4 seizures and I twitch as I'm falling asleep and in my sleep I shake uncontrollably, I've read a few reviews similar to mine only theirs were worse and have been hospitalized. I am a normal 20 year old healthy female I only suffer from depression and I'm on suboxone I am switching this weekend to Zoloft I put it off for so long because when I don't have these pills I feel extreme withdrawal and my head feels crazy and brain zaps all weird I can't handle being off it so I was scared to switch. But to each their own my personal experience with it wasn't good other than twitching it works."


"After struggling with some intense bouts of anxiety and depression the past year, I knew it was time to seek help. My doctor prescribed me escitalopram at 5 mg., and I am already feeling some positive effects after 3 weeks. Before I started this medication, I was sleeping most of the day, had no motivation, isolated myself from family and friends, dreaded work, and was overall just a miserable person. No, this medication doesn't make my life perfect by any means, but I feel my moods are stabilizing and I feel more confident in myself to handle my anxiety and depression in healthier ways. I am beyond grateful for this medication, and I hope to see even more success as time passes."


"Before this I tried one mini pill and had mood swings/break outs.  Then tried combined pill (lucette) and gained weight rapidly-even went up a cup size in a week.  As a result, I felt depressed because of my weight gain.  I then tried the IUD, intercourse felt like being stabbed internally and I had bleeding everyday for four months with flesh clots.  Although my gp claimed this wasn't because of the IUD, they eventually removed it due to an ovarian cyst.  Within days all side effects stopped, but my gp put me on Cerelle, which made me have insane mood swings and depression.  This is the first pill with no side effects other than light breakthrough bleeding every few months."


"Not bad, few side affects of blury vision and headaches but on the plus side they've worked so!"


"Tried the generic version after a few rotations of Ambien.  The only thing I disliked about Ambien was the weird loopiness I'd get.  Read over some journal entries I wrote on Ambien and it definitely freaked me out.  I didn't notice a weird metallic taste when I took Lunesta.  The sleepiness also didn't hit me as hard as with Ambien, but it definitely peaked after about an hour and I knew it was time for bed.  Woke up fine, no headache and no weird journaling. So all in all a good experience and will likely ask for this instead of Ambien in the future."


"I had loose almost diarrhea stools for almost three months after a trip to Florida.  I began to seriously worry, so before going to a doctor took a dose (2 pills) of Imodium.  I returned to normal in 2 days and have had no problem since.  One dose fixed a 3 month long problem!  Read the directions.  It said to take a second dose after a second event of loose stools.  I might have taken another dose that night after the first if I had read read the instructions carefully.  I suspect some of the reviewers who had stomach pains might have done that, because I had NO discomfort.  Just an almost miraculous immediate return to normal movements.  Thank you makers!"


"Diagnosed with fibromyalgia I went to my doctors to discuss further help in dealing with the pain, and was immediately given Cymbalta 30 mg., no talk about my Estroven that I was taking for menopause, nothing. Found relief first two days, immediately as directed and found through the course of 3 weeks, the following interactions, irritability, more pain than ever before, which forced me to take more pain pills to combat the pain, and then finally a rash, then difficulty speaking, then finally the ultimate was massive confusion. Please be careful to those who are taking homeopathic medicines, and trying to help themselves with Fibromyalgia.  Be your own ADVOCATE and do the RESEARCH first...don't be a stastic like I almost was."


"Started taking Byetta three weeks ago, no real problems associated with it other than constipation which I hate. I have never ever had this problem in my life. My numbers went up a few points the first week but on the second week has been at 100-140. I can live with that, better than the 200-300 I was at with pills. Not eating as much lost 5 pounds so far and I don't get as hungry as often as I did. So far it's working."


"Prescribed, use 12 on, 12 off. Used with oxycodone. Not effective, in addition patch doesn't adhere well, adhesive not strong enough to keep it in place w/o having to tape down patch.

Would not recommend this patch."


"I've been on this medicine for about  two years and my experience has been positive. I feel happier, more comfortable in my skin, less irritable, mentally sharper than I've ever been. It's been very effective!  The only downsides have been sex drive and some inconsistency in it's effects.  Sometimes I feel as though the potency of the medicine can vary month to month.
Last year I tried to slowly come off of it over a two month period. Unfortunately, all the symptoms started coming back. It was a reminder of how hard life was before this medicine. I wish all of you the best."


"I have really bad insomnia which is triggered by my depression & anxiety. My shrink gave me this medicine & I sleep like a baby. The thing is I started having these dreams & they feel so real. But I thought this was only me until I started reading other reviews. I have to have at least 8hrs to sleep or then I'm rather groggy. I'm happy for the sleep because I was up for 36 hrs at a time."


"My Testosterone was 47 and I'm 39. I feel no power and always tired.  Before the Androderm I was on Testosterone Cypionate injections. With in 250 for every two weeks my test on Testosterone was going to 1200 total after three months. Fill great, no side effects and all my fat is gone, looks more skinny and muscular. With the Androderm 4 mg I can say it works probably less then half. No side effects but I see more fat again on my budy and no power. Please give me my injections back."


"I lasted less than 3 weeks on Movantik my provider recommend! I ended up at up at ER because of the severe cramping, violent vomiting, bloating, nausea that had occurred. I'm being asked if I had ever had colitis or diverticulitis in the past which is a fat no!  They had to put me on an IV bc of the dehydration. I've been off Movantik for a while and my GI is still irritated. Huge disappointment but I'd rather give natural birth to more children because it was a breeze compared to the experience I had with Movantik! Now it appears I have to seek a GI doc to deal with the after effects of being on it!"


"I started Victoza in March 2012. I started out at 0.6, gradually worked up became too nauseated on higher dose. Went back to 0.6 and have done wonderful. At first I had no appetite at all. Slowly it came back to about half of what it was. Glad to state that I was in a 22/24 or 2x clothes. I can now wear clothes that were very snug, they are now loose. I am buying xl shirts. I would suggest everyone that needs diabetic medication. It is a little up and down at first but it levels out. People are walking up to me and asking me what I am doing to lose weight and all I can say is it is a bonus of my diabetic medication. My A1c was 7.4 it is now 5.7 thanks to Victoza."


"I have been on propranolol since mid-January 2013. If I remember correctly, it began working within a few weeks. I am on 80mg (can't remember if I worked up to that or not, was in rehab at the time so not everything is crystal clear) and have found that my daily headaches have pretty much completely disappeared. I read that the normal dose is between 80 and 240mg, but I obviously want to be on as little as possible, especially considering possible side effects. But 80mg works for me. Rarely I get one and ibuprofen is enough to relieve it. This medicine was truly life-changing for me. I have had chronic headaches from the age of 9! Point being, if you are considering this medication to help prevent headaches, I highly recommend you try it."


"I got Hep C while I was at Bible school  in 1978 and so I never really found out how I got it. I did give blood for money in bible school ...anyways I did the Pegasus Interferon and Ribavirin combo and I was so ill it took me years to feel better. I did clear the virus but it came back with a vengeance. I was really sick at that point...I did have some mild side effects with the Harvoni like fatigue. I got my three month clear. My doctor feels that I will not have to deal with this again. I do have cirrhosis of the liver even though I have been a health nut all these years. I am thankful that the pharma industry gave us a cure. Thank you."


"Was given this pill by my doc for insomnia. I took the pill at 10:30 pm, was very drowsy by 11:15 pm but was also unable to fall asleep. The severe drowsiness lasted about 2 hours, yet I was unable to sleep. I got up to move around until I thought I could sleep, and felt off balance and mentally a bit out of it. Finally fell asleep at about 1:30 am, and woke at 7:30 am feeling awful. Still at 9 am I feel a bit out of it, but most of all I am absolutely exhausted. The sleep wasn't good, in fact it was a terrible experience. I will not take this ever again."


"I've been on the patch for almost 24 hours now. the only issue i am having is bad stomach cramps along with diarrhea so hopefully that stops in the next few days. I don't want to get my hopes up just yet but I have noticed that the urgency & frequency has decreased for me."


"Two attempts at treatment for fibromyalgia with Lyrica. Both had similar outcomes, in that the "cure" was worse than the illness. Side effects were overwhelming from the onset: increased fatigue, terrifying anxiety, tremors. In addition, this drug's efficacy was zero. I received no positive effects from Lyrica and discontinued use. Side note: I need to learn about illnesses that affect me and medications that I take or are offered to me. Doctors may mean well, but I need to know how they affect ME, not just what is printed in a package insert. And if a doc is not right for me, it's time to find her replacement."


"Best I've had for insomnia."


"I went on this because of extreme anxiety/insomnia and it did the trick right away at 10mg/day. Be careful drinking too much alcohol. I went off it after 2.5 years and was fine for several years.
Then I lost my job and house and moved away and fell into a deep depression. So I went back on citalopram and it helped the depression quite well. After 2 years on it, I had my first hypo-manic episode which lasted 4 months nearly destroying my life. I quit the medicine midway through this period. I guess I'm bipolar 2. A few months later, severe depression started again and I went back on it. This time I could only handle 5mg/day and I was still sleeping 14 hours a day. Citalopram stopped working for me over time and probably doesn't work for bipolar 2 depression."


"This works. Fast. I did take a suggestion and add a packet of flavored drink powder but it was so foul, I'm not sure it made any difference. I struggled with nausea during the first liter, so for the second liter, I poured the swill into a chilled stainless steel measuring cup and slammed it. Gawds bless all of us who have to drink MoviPrep!"


"I have been on Lamictal for about two months. Yes, I have some side effects dry mouth, double vision sometimes when I blink it goes away, joint and muscle pain and now I think acne. I take 300mg during the day. 200mg at night. I also take gabapentin for muscle aches and joint pain which really helps! I also take Klonopin when necessary I am prescribed for half twice a day and one at night but don't need it. I have a ton of energy and lost weight food no longer is my priority. I exercise daily and feel fantastic! I do have anger issues I have always has that. I am in therapy also. I think and feel like a different person so the side effects far outweigh going off medicine! Good luck."


"I have been on Cymbalta for about 5 years and it really helps with depression and anxiety and has few side effects for me.  The only one I notice is that orgasm is more difficult, but this could be due to menopause as well.  I am so thankful for this drug and hope it never stops working."


"When I went to the doc, I had been experiencing the UTI for like a day before. A week before that, I actually had one, but my grandmother gave me cephalexin (one every 12 hrs for 2 days) and it seemed to work.. But since it was only enough for two days, I guess it decided to come back. My doc tested me for a UTI and gave me this sulfa drug, and it worked for one day. Thats it. I've read these reviews and if you go see the doc, ask him/her about taking your urine sample to a lab. My doc told me to do this so she could use the results to put me on an antibiotic that targets the exact bacteria my body is dealing with. This sulfa drug is the general drug. I highly recommend getting the lab test in case the sulfa prescription doesn't work for you."


"I was in a vehicle accident and had a Toradol injection for pain in my back muscles. I experienced the severe side effects of blurred vision, nausea, and dizziness (I felt like at any moment I would pass out) about 2 hours after the injection. My hips also hurt for about 8 hours after the injection. My back pain has lessened, so the medication worked, but it is now on my list of allergies."


"I'd taken Amoxil before and had no reaction to it, but apparently you can develop an allergic reaction to this medicine. The doctor prescribed this along with a new allergy medicine so it took about three days before the allergy medicine couldn't fight off the reaction that I (up until that point) didn't realize I was having to Amoxil.  It started with swollen spots in the back of my throat before I went to bed.  My roommates mother is a nurse and told me to take extra Benadryl which is probably what saved me because by 4am I had to go to the emergency room because my throat was swelling closed and I only had a small airway left.  The good thing was that this reaction took place over several hours and could EASILY be treated."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"It took almost 8 months but it finally started to work.  My periods were so heavy I would go thru a tampax ultra in less than an hour and have to stay home during my periods. I would have to get up several times during the night. I would bleed some months for 30  days even on the Beyaz.  My last two months I have bleed less than three days and can use a lite tampax it took a while but I am so happy I stuck with it.  No weight gain either!!!!"


"My migraines are mild but can be long lived, some times lasting 2-3wks with nausea and light sensitivity. I used to treat them with just OTC meds but of course as soon as they wore off it came back. While pregnant I was prescribed Fioricet but headache would still come back. Then I finally got Imitrex and it makes the headache NOT come back! I do only take it at night just for the drowsiness, but no other side effects for me, and headache is gone when I wake up!"


"I have three primary headaches types and neuralgia due to lower back injury. Intractable Migraine, migraine, chronic cluster headache and sciatic neuralgia - 1st dose ramped my 'easy' cluster headache to a 10 and my neuralgia on left side is killing me and I want to throw up. What a great freaking drug."


"This is my 4th month on Lo loestrin fe. I have to say, the first 2-3 months I wasn't a huge fan. I spotted for the first week or two, I was breaking out a little more than normal (usually I get 1-2 pimples on my chin right before my period) but this made me break out about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks into my pack:( and would only "clear" up for about a week before it started again. I had slight cramping, felt a little crazy and periods lasting about 3-4 days seeming no different than normal. I almost lost hope! BUT!!! I stuck it out like most doctors recommend. Month 4= no period, no mood swings, clear face all month until my sugar pills (slight breakout only), no weight gain (though I do workout everyday). Give it a shot!!"


"I am 53 years old, started having depression issues and my wife told me I had the same symptoms she had before she went on hormone therapy.  Had my testosterone checked and sure enough it was in the low range. I was about 280 which is the low end of normal but for someone my age too low. Doctor suggested injections to build it up in my system. First week I felt a difference within an hour after the shot. I felt like myself again and realized I hadn't felt this way IN YEARS. By the 4th day I started coming down, was told to get in the gym and work out which I suppose released more of the testosterone and felt better again. But by the 7th day started crashing. Just had my 2nd shot and feel great again."


"My daughter had the injection this month.It stopped her psychosis, still a little paranoia. The first ten days severe pain in neck. Also some dizziness still and balance problems she says. She took cogentin for neck. Some relief from the neck now. Another issue from blood test is high prolactin level. We will be seeing her Dr this week .Dont know if side effects worth it"


"I had my Mirena inserted 2 months ago.  I am 23 and have never had children, and the insertion pain was not too bad, actually better than my normal cramps.  I'm still having very slight spotting, but no real periods since the insertion, which I'm very happy about because of my painful periods with likely endometriosis. I have a little cramping still, but not bad at all, and its usually only when there's pressure on my abdomen, like when I'm working out or need to have a bowel movement.  Also, I had to go on a non-estrogen form of contraception because I have migraines with auras, and I think these is a great alternative to oral contraceptive pills!  As a medical student, all the OB/GYNs I've worked with have talked about the benefits of Mirena."


"I have been using 2 mg of clonazepam at night for over 3 year with 60 mg of fluoxetine in the morning.  I have found I feel much better than the regimen of seroquel, clonazepam, wellbutrin, fluoxetine and atarax I was previously on.  I find the clonazepam works better than tegretol, valproic acid or lithium for me.  Clonazepam has anti-seizure properties as well as anxiolytic properties that work well for me along with with the mood lift Prozac gives.  I recommend it if you have Bipolar Disorder."


"Plan B was taken Sept 15th, 1 hour after our incident when condom broke. I took the one pill and a few hours after started feeling terrible cramps. The cramps only lasted the day I took Plan B and never got them again. 2 weeks later, I got my period. This period was very light, and lasted only 4 days when normally my periods are heavy and last a whole week. I was happy I got my period but was still worried. The next month, Oct, I waited for my period. I didn't come. I missed my second period and at this point was taking pregnancy tests every week. They all were negative. On Nov 11 I got my period. So, it works! Very pleased with Plan B. But you may have a delayed period. So don't freak out. Its a side effect."


"I have been taking Firocet for years and it has been moderately effective for my migraines , which I usually have one per week.

My Dr. last week recommended Cambia, was skeptical about it but was in agony and gave it a try. Within 45 minutes I was up and functional. Will only use in severe cases. Also very costly if you have no insurance."


"Literally a miracle drug my first time in a long time not having my extremely horrible period, best month of my life! no spotting, this is my first time using birth control. my acne is non-existent, my breast are larger which is a plus for me, and I've lost weight in all the right places! I'm so happy with this product!"


"I just found out I was positive for chylamida on 9/29/15 my doctor gave me 4 pills to take I had took them at 4:35 pm & around 7:30-8pm I threw up does this mean I need to retake the medication. This is my 1st time I'm really scared and all I've read says that it does effect you if it spreads. I do plan on having a family in the future but I'm scared now that I may not. Can someone please help me "


"I too have always been anti medication. I've had extreme panic attacks for decades.  I managed to get my panic in order on my own to a degree, but due to high stress at work for a long period, it came back in the form of hypercondria. I have invented almost every illness and was spending thousands on tests to put my mind at ease.  I started getting shooting pains all over like nerve pain.  I thought it was MS, but mri said otherwise.  Doc put me on these for the pain, but secretly think she wanted to try and medicate me for anxiety, which i always refused.

Give it a few months people.  Im only on 10 - 20 mg a night, but after these months gone past, I've noticed I'm no longer obsessing on irrational thoughts. Good luck!"


"My experience was very mixed. I have to say it was effective in preventing pregnancy and not having to worry about taking a pill was wonderful. However, I spent one month on my period and sometimes one month off, usually 2-3 weeks off. That's really effective in preventing pregnancy when you're constantly on your period. Oh and the mood swings? Terrible. I couldn't even stand to be around myself. It also killed my sex drive and made me tired all the time. Just a warning to potential users. It's not all peachy and period free! Two months post removal I'm finally starting to feel like myself again."


"I am a 2 year survivor  of metastatic breast disease to bone.  The injection itself is painful, but very few side effects for me.  Tiredness, pain at injection site and sore throat are most persistent side effects.  I like the fact that I only have to get it once a month."


"I use it as a birth control, but it has helped a lot with my acne. No more oily face.

Also how effective is this in regards to birth control?
So far.. no problems, no weight gain. It was difficult getting this approved by my insurance BCBS."


"I was given this as instead ofLoestrin, which I normally take. I've been on it 2 months and it's like I have a non-stop period. They're also really heavy which they have never been in my life and my breasts get very enlarged and are so tender. I'm not happy with it at all and will be using something different beginning next month."


"I am a major insomniac, I was first prescribed trazadone (first 50 mg then 100 then 200) although the 200mg gave me excessive sweating at night as a side effect, plus trazadone only helps you to get to sleep, not stay asleep. so my doc recudes traz to 100 and put me on ami 25mg

I find amitryptamine 25mg does'nt help me get to sleep, the trazadone initially puts me to sleep and I find ami gives me a full nights kip without waking up alot, I'd reccommend trazadone + ami together if your doctor is willing to put you on both @ same time."


"I was originally on Microgestin Fe 1/20 using it for my period and birth control, I had very few cramps and very light bleeding with no side effects. I turned 19 and lost my health insurance and can no longer afford it, so I went to the health Dept. And they put me in Orsythia, I was told it is the same thing. I have been on this medication for a month now and I have only had headaches and extreme tiredness, some problems being mad for no reason. I haven't started my period yet but I am only on the first inactive pill so we will see. Will update soon."


"I rate this medication very highly. I had no history of anxiety or depression before being struck down with severe generalised anxiety (and subsequently its bff, depression). I've been on lexapro for 3 months now and my life is completely back to normal. If I still have side effects, they have normalised so that I no longer notice them. About a month ago I starting drinking wine again ( I got a reaction the first time, but was fine after that), and 3 weeks ago I started on coffee again (it made me hyperactive for the first week, then normalised). You just need to ease into it. Please don't give up on this med in the first week. It's a bit of a rough start but so worth it when you come through the other side."


"Without this I would never get a good night's sleep due to the aching in my legs."


"I've got scoliosis and disc herniation. I was taking Vicoprofen 7.5/200 four times a day. It worked great. My Dr refused to write for it anymore and insisted I take Opana ER 10mg 2X daily. I went from a $15 co-pay to a $180 co-pay. The medicine seems to do OK with the pain...but the constipation!! Also, I feel very sad and somber on it."


"I've been taking latuda 40mg for almost 2 weeks. I was feeling less depressed, my mood had stabilized but I felt a lot of anxiety, more than before I started the medicine. Looking back and thinking about where I am today, irritable, angry and feeling confused. I may be having a manic episode that the medicine may have induced."


"Although I prefer Zofran melt aways because it melts in your mouth and doesn't require you to drink anything (which can cause vomiting when your already sick) I love Phenergan! It works longer and although not as fast it works better. I use it for nausea and as a sleep aid because of side effects from other medications. It does lower your blood pressure which is a side effect I don't mind because of my constant high BP and the side effects of the BP meds.it's very effective and almost every insurance will cover the cost (zophran is rarely covered) overall I don't take it everyday but it's safe for me to say that I've had no bad side effects from prolonged use."


"I know everyone is different but I had to have skyla removed after one week due to the pain it caused."


"Tussinex works great, yes it will make you drowsy, so don't drive. You will sleep easy though. "


"I have been on this birth control for a little over a year now. It does help menstrual cramps by a ton, but it will take a couple months before the cycle starts becoming a rhythm. I also gained a lot of weight after starting this birth control. Nearly 10 pounds over the course of the year. It also contributes to very high mood swings and anxiety, but overall these things are worth it to stop the pain that came with regular cramps. I used to have to miss school certain days when they were bad, but now I hardly notice them."


"I have taken this medicine for 4 months now due to not being able to sleep with the depression medicines I'm on. Ambien works wonders. I had a few odd moments where my child found me sleep walking, just in the fridge, hungry I guess. I saw things the first time I took a whole 10 mg. I'm glad others wrote reviews because my husband thought I was mental. Other then that it's been a blessing. I wake up at 6:30 every morning refreshed and brand new. I would tell anyone if you take it laying down. Don't go walk around it's meant for bedtime for a reason. It's worth a try for anyone not being able to sleep. Oh also I sleep from 9 to 6 every night. I may wake up once and I take nothing else for sleep."


"The side effects can be quite bad, the generic was the same for me as well. "


"Kerafoam worked very well for me. I had very dry skin on the heels of my feet and within a matter of 2 uses I could see a remarkable improvement. No side effects."


"Ok so I've been on this and I don't find it bad.  I had no libido before well much of one and now I actually do. I've had a migraine everyday almost and I feel like I'm losing weight as well. So I have no issues with it yet and I'm a mom to five kids and I'm 29"


"I think Victoza is the best thing I could have ever tried! I've been overweight my entire life and have been diagnosed with insulin resistance and Polycystic ovarian syndrome.  My doctor prescribed it to me to try to help me with weight loss. I used it a year ago for 4 months (0.6mg) and lost around 12 kg. I then stopped using it (its expensive to buy). My bad eating habits made me gain 5 kg's. I'm on my first week of using Victoza again and already lost 2.5kg for the first week! If you really want results for weight loss, eat a healthy balanced diet. I know my body doesn't like red meat - so I'm on veggies, fruits, nuts, eggs and rice products.  You are what you eat, and Victoza helps you to be able to eat healthy foods."


"Not long after taking my first dose of extra strength benylin for a persistant cold/respiratory infection, I became so dizzy I couldn't stand up and had to lie down. I closed my eyes and nodded off and woke up a while later feeling a little woozy but not dizzy. My head hurt the rest of the day. Did seem to help bringing up phlegm that afternoon. I think I would take a half dose next time."


"I was prescribed this medication by my PCP for my fibromyalgia in Feb 2016. I should have known something was wrong when I gained 7 pounds in about a week &/a half & I wasn't experiencing much pain relief. I continued to take it. The doses would need to be increased often & I was up to 900 3x/day. I took it for over a year &  was taken off of it when Lyrica was started. Lyrica didn't work out due to adverse effects. I recently started this again & I've gained 6 pounds in less than a week. I've been extremely hungry so I've been eating more, even though I'm trying to lose weight. This medication has also made my pain/brain fog worse & when you have fibromyalgia, you don't need that getting worse. Never again!"


"I took Celexa a few years back for my chronic depression.  It didn't make me feel so good so after 6 months I went off it, cold turkey, and dealt with the withdrawal symptoms of that drug (zaps!).  So when I got offered Paxil for my social anxiety and depression, and heard that there were withdrawal symptoms, I decided that if it helped, I'd try it.  In just these few weeks, my friends and I have noticed a huge change.  No weight gain, more energy, upbeat and outgoing, smiley and laughing, and optimistic for the first time in...my life?  Only downfall I've noticed so far is the crippling nausea and dizziness the first three days of taking the medicine. I feel fantastic now!"


"I have had grand mal seizures since I was 9 years old and was involved in a car accident. I have taken Dilantin for over 50 years, with good results. It has controlled my seizures pretty well until recently. I was diagnosed with COPD 2 years ago, and in that time, I have been having seizures every 3-6 months. My doctor switched me to Keppra 6 months ago, and in that time, I have had at least 1 seizure a month. I think it's time to switch back to what works."


"At first I thought Soolantra did not work, but that was only because I had another problem--due to my inhaler, which had given me a yeast infection on my face.  I got worse and worse, then solved that problem, and began Soolantra again.  It actually seems to make my skin look better on contact.  There is such a difference that I use it in the morning or just before I go out, and people have noticed.  I don't have an extreme case of rosacea, but the redness, large pores, itching and burning are responding to treatment.  I only put it on the affected areas, to conserve it, and I had some samples, so that is why I estimate only $2.00 a month.  With insurance, a tube is $60."


"My PCP prescribed this after long term use of Paroxetine was not helping all of the time. I get panic attacks often. Vomiting, pacing, crying, and hyperventilating. Ugly stuff. She prescribed Clonazepam 0.5mg as needed. I was afraid to take it, I have an addictive personality and my siblings have abused benzos in the past. However, I truly take it as needed! I split all of the pills in half. If I take one half before I do something that I know usually triggers an attack, I'm good to go but I'm not usually THAT lucky. If I feel an attack  coming on, I take one half. I usually wait 15-30 minutes and take the second half ONLY IF NEEDED.

I have come to find that this has been the best thing for my anxiety in conjunction with the Paroxetine."


"Although I can't take tricyclics, I can take Remeron. I have treatment resistant depression and this is the only anti-depressant I can tolerate (I have been on every type of anti-depressant except Wellbutrin). I don't know why it works so well on me, but it saved my life. My weight had gotten down to 112lbs (I'm 5'7) and I looked like a corpse. I've been on it for a good 8 years or so and it still helps me sleep. The hunger side effect subsided for the most part...a good thing because I gained too much weight back at first, then leveled out at 130lbs. Some of my family have tried it and it knocks them out for the night and next day. Also, they've complained of a "hangover feeling" after they wake up. Many doctors told me it's a good medicine."


"I have been on Klonopin for over a decade with success from my previous anxiety, frustration and anger feelings. I rate this medication a nine because alone it's not 100% (it's used in adjunct with counseling and Sertraline). I take 2mg "in the morning" and the only side effect for me, is feeling like me again; relaxed, confident, alert and in control. The dosage is too much for most but for me (with a high tolerance) it keeps me in control. I have heard of some that use it successfully for insomnia; not me. Its long lasting properties allow that I take it with breakfast and coast all day/night on it. I never notice an effect from it, until I don't take it: Then the anxiety, indecision with tiredness reappears. So I'm on it for life, and that's okay."

"I am 33, and have been suffering with toenail fungus and athlete's feet for over ten years.  I have tried everything OTC with no results on the nails and good results on the atrial fibrillation but it always came back.  Like many of you I don't go out often with open toed shoes unless I wear socks.  I am in my first 30 days of Lamisil and I can already tell a difference in my atrial fibrillation, not quite sure about toenails yet it's too early to tell.  So far no side effects."


"On its effectiveness, I rate it a 10, because it will completely eradicate all your allergy symptoms. However, the undesirable side effects lower the rating to a 3. It will keep you up ALL NIGHT LONG. It also made me jittery and nervous, as if I'd drank a dozen cups of coffee. "


"The Mirlax  is really easy for me to use. Very effective. The reason for posting is I was wondering if there was a way for a person like myself who has used this puduct for many years... could have a more easier way of pouring it into a water bottle for example. Much like Crystal light packets but in a way so it does not copy Crystal light company's companies  idea. Yet is still effective for people who have a hard time pouring the medicine themselves without making huge mess. Thank you very much."


"Suffered over a decade with neck   radiating, low back into right foot, headaches on occasion. Herniation at c3/4/5, severe progressed degeneration c5/6. Neck Shots to Right elbow, tingles to three Right fingers (Erbsy Palsy). I finally changed lifestyle, organic, white meats. In proper time, down 4 waist sizes over 8-10 months, after 2 months body reset. Cured lower back pain to only a nuisance not 'problem', changed bloods to excellent from the brink of disaster. This is the only medication, other than Valium, I can tolerate in class. In disbelief this worked in day 2. Was a slight confusion, minor dizzy 1st day, ALL side effects went away 1st week. I highly suggest you try this medication. I am skeptical and still suggest this one. Great find."


"Works better than Oxycontin. I have chronic chest pain from pluracy and this medicine allows me to be pain free most of the time. Recently I ran out for 3 days and I had terrible withdrawal symptoms. I have been on it for 2 years and I don't abuse it. I only take 1/2 a pill about 6 or 7 times a day to decrease the sleepiness. It like all other controlled drugs is a double edged sword so be careful of withdrawal. "


"I am a young and very ctive woman - I've had numerous bladder and kidney infections which have weekened my urethra - I started off with the patches but I ended up getting a severe reaction to the sticky stuff, so I've now been taking 5mg tab for a year and the difference is amazing, I am back to my full fitness without weeing myself. The only side effect I get is a really dry mouth, but that's better than nothing."


"I had Implanon inserted in May of 2009. I was a little scared at first because I was reading all the side effects and reviews. I absolutely LOVE the Implanon Birth Control. I had not weight gain, no mood swings, and no acne.  When I first got it I bleed regularly for about 6 months. It stopped, but since year 2 of me having it, I have had a regular period monthly that only last about 5 days. It is very, very effective...(believe me, it has been proven several times). I would recommend this to anyone that still wants kids, but wants them a little spread out in years."


"I have used Ambien for 6 years. It worked very well all the time before they introduced the generic brands. The generics are NOT the same as the original and do not produce the same results. They leave me hung over and each manufacturer has his own brew thus are unpredictable in how they will perform. I have offered to pay the difference to get the real Ambien but with no success. Sure wish this wasn't so expensive."


"This is a magical medicine! Had a very bad bladder infection and couldn't get out of the bathroom! After 2 doses I had COMPLETE relief! Turns your urine highlighter orange but it's so worth it! I don't know how I ever got through a urinary tract infection without it!"


"I've been on Xulane on and off as my postpartum method of birth control. I don't experience bloating, weight gain, rashes or nausea which is good. However, I noticed that after wearing a patch for 3 days to a week, I start to get yeast infection symptoms. I've gotten about three yeast infections while using Xulane. It works, I just wish it wouldn't give me an uncomfortable infection. I used to use the Orthro Evra patch which is 20x better and by far the best patch in my opinion."


"I took this medication for a little over a year. The first month I was extremely nauseous and had terrible cramps but they went away. It cleared my acne for a couple months but about 6 months into I had cystic acne all around my mouth and forehead. I also found myself crying for no reason and was extremely moody...especially before and after my period. I would not recommend taking this. The only positive out of it was that it cleared my acne for a short period of time."


"I started taking Cymbalta Time Release (for Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety) before bedtime at 11 p.m., 2 nights ago. I felt fine that night, until the next morning. I started feeling very nauseous and sick, (which I have a severe phobia to vomiting), I started sweating, chills, dizzy feeling, which threw me into a severe panic attack, which made me feel even more nauseous, which made my panic attack last longer. I couldnt calm myself down. I felt like I was in a nightmare!  I didnt start feeling any better until about 8 pm that evening. Its been 2 days since ive taken Cymbalta and im still experiencing major panic attacks 3-4 x's a day with nausea and vomiting. I wish i had never taken that medicine now!"

"After reading all the horror stories I wanted to cancel procedure so thought I'd share my experience. Honestly NOT THAT BAD! Took as directed, added nothing for flavor. Tasted very salty, just a swig of Apple juice after each 8oz dose, every 15 mins. Had no side effects. No bloating. No gas pains. No discomfort. Had only broth on prep day. Had only a chicken omelet afternoon prior to prep. No cramping with bowel movements. Procedure was a breeze, without the "wind". Hope this helps ease someone's anxiety."


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


"I just weaned myself off of Cymbalta/Neurontin and started taking 50mg Lyrica capsules twice a day.  I have been taking Lyrica for only TWO DAYS and have had amazing results.  I may be reporting on this drug too soon but I am finding my pain receding greatly.  I am feeling almost "normal", my spirits are definitely raising and hope that I can avoid nerve cutting surgery that would be my last choice for relief.  I am an optimist by nature and am so hoping that 100mg a day will keep me pain free and away from the scalpel."


"I had a cold sore on the side of my mouth (not exaggerating) for two months ,it would start to heal then right before it would get better it would come back . I finally went and got some abreva after checking the reviews and it worked like a miracle in such a short time, I just could not believe it. I'm so happy with it,  I'm here writing good reviews"


"I just turned 40 and have suffered from migraines with aura with increasing frequency and severity since I was 16. In March 2014 I was up to 18 migraines in 22 days. My doctor took me off all the Triptans I was taking and never ever worked, to my great relief! At first I tried a blood pressure med but after 2 weeks of horrible side effects (horrible depression, weight gain, insomnia) my GP put me on Nortriptyline. I have been on it for 4 weeks. We started with 10 mg at night. I noticed that the pain from my migraines and frequency reduced by about 50% and Advil liquid gels were able to take the pain away. I have now been bumped up to 20 mg. I haven't noticed dry mouth, but I did notice my eyes get dry. I sleep really well. no other effects."


"I am a 29 year old male. I have been overweight pretty much all my life. I started the trial does of Qsymia on 1/16/13 weighing 315lbs.  I did not notice any changes at all in my eating or any side effect after the first few days, so I started to take the regular dose.  Since that time I have lost about 0.5 to 1 pound a day. Today (2/24/13) I weighed in at 286.2lbs.  So almost 30 pounds. I do the elliptical for about 30-35 min a day and I eat about 1500-1800 calories a day.  I know I should eat more, but I am just not that hungry.  No side effects. Hope I am not losing the weight too fast..."


"Bought CVS generic miconazole and it was horrible. Itchy, burning, painful, lost the better part of a night's sleep. Don't remember such horrible side effects when I used this years ago. Did they change the formula? I would avoid this at all costs.

Clotrimazole is so much better.  Takes care of YI w/o the nasty side effects."


"Stopped periods 10 years ago. Then suffered  hot flashes, severe, in first five years after.   In last five years hot flashes really diminished but triggered by anxiety, certain foods, and occasional night sweats. But could be counted on to have at least one episode of night sweats per evening (down from as many as 7 to 10 a day - and leaving me drenched, my clothes soaked!).  My GYN recommended Brisdelle two months ago.  Am hypersensitive to all meds so was skeptical, in addition to being an RN.  Don't like to take drugs of any kind.  However, I was desperate.  The Brisdelle worked immediately and I haven't had one episode of hot flashes since.  Just dry mouth now.  Very bad dry mouth!"


"I started taking this medicine 4 days ago. On day 3 the cramps started so badly that I couldn't do anything without my hands involuntary becoming fists, sometimes both of them, to the point of my husband having to help me pry them apart. Also had dizziness, nausea, muscle pain, among others. None of which I had on the Benazapril. Talked to my doctor yesterday and he switched me to something different. I'm hoping it helps!"


"So I am 19 and i have had mine for a little over a month. When I first got nexplanon, it was painful not bad though. I'm a baby to all kinds of pain and it hurt no more than a piercing. It was soar for a couple of days and made my very physical job hard. I bleed 1 day after getting it (it was put in on my 4th day of my period) then the bleeding stoped but after that I bleed for 3 days very lightly about 7 days after it was inserted. I just started my second period and it's so light a pantie liner is plenty! The only other side effect I have is acne! I can't stand it! But my boyfriend said it's fine because he still loves me :) I was told to wait 2 weeks to have sex but I had unprotected sex on the 11th day. Over all I love this product!"


"Effexor XR works great for hot flashes, not to mention it elevates your mood as a bonus.  I do recommend the extended release as the side effects are fewer.  I have no hot flashes now at all.  I recommend it to anyone who does not want to take hormones."


"Absolutely amazing
Works a treat
10mgs 1hr before
I suffer bad anxiety
This fixed me this wonder pill
Is better than Viagra
I'm in my late 30s I never had a problem until one occasion
Go for it nothing wrong
Wow!! I will keep on taking it"


"Drixoral is the only medication that allows me relief from my allergies"


"Has really helped with mood swings. Helps control violent outbursts."


"I took Flexeril because I had been feeling intense back muscle pain. I was told that it would make me sleepy and feel relaxed. I took it at 9:00pm thinking it was going to kick in quickly! I was wrong, 15 minutes later nothing! So I made dinner went online, then out of nowhere my neck felt heavy like I couldn't hold my head up and I stumbled to my bed. I saw the clock and it showed 11:00ish. I  slept like a baby! Woke up feeling great the next day well rested and my back felt better."


"Started depo when I was 18, never had a period after, stopped taking it when I was 24 to start a family.  It took 4 months for menstruation to start again and only 3 months after that to conceive.   After pregnancy I was put back on, got 3 series of shots before we wanted another baby(no period in between).  Only took a month for my period to return and another month after that to conceive. Also, after this pregnancy I started the depo again. I was 6 weeks postpartum and got the shot while on my 4th day on my period, (which usually lasted 7 days) the next day my period stopped. It is my go to form of birth control!"


"I have two boys they are 2 years and 15 days apart. The day I got the Mirena inserted there was some pain with the procedure but by the end of the day it was gone. I have been bleeding heavy and light since and its been 2 1/2 weeks now. I have noticed hair loss, increase in appetite, and mood swings."


"For the first time I can get to sleep every night.  It usually gives me about 5 hours of sleep, and if I wake up and take about 0.15 Klonopin, I can go back to sleep for another 3 hours.  Feel rested for the first time in years!  I don't take it until I am absolutely ready to lay down in bed, then lay down and think happy thoughts to carry with me to dream land.  Previously, due to bipolar insomnia,  I would take tons of Nyquil, Benadryl, Sominex, l-tyrosine, melatonin that only gave me a few hours sleep and I'd wake up and take more pills. For years I couldn't sleep in a bed but would wander through the house at night trying to get comfortable on the floor, etc. as my husband just bumping me would wake me up.  I thank you Ambien!"


"I am a 37 year old man that has gone through testicular cancer twice, so I produce no testosterone on my own.  It has taken a year to find the right dosage for me, but now I get 1ml weekly, and feel great.  I always get it in my buttocks, and just alternate the sides, week to week.  "


"I was very skeptical, and have tried everything from diet/exercise to weight loss supplements.  I could lose no weight no matter what.  Even though I'm still not where I want to be, it looks like Belviq helped get me over that "hump" and I've lost about 13 pounds in 2 months doing the same routine that I have been.  It does work."


"I took Effexor XL about a year ago for about 6 months. At first, it worked great. Then, I got sick and couldn't take it for a couple days, and OMG the withdrawal. I felt like I was going to pass out, and throw up. I was dizzy. It was awful, and it took two more days of taking it before those feelings went away.  I finally decided to talk my doctor about getting off the Effexor. I had to step down at half dose intervals and in turn, go through the withdrawals 3 times over the time frame of three weeks. Just as the withdrawals subsided from one cut, I had to cut again. "


"My doctor prescribed Levothyroxine for low thyroid and I had been feeling so tired and wiped out. Levothyroxine did help improve my numbers (TSH of 7.5 dropped to 4.5) but I felt awful on it. Everything hurt and I was so exhausted. After 3 months on Levothryoxine, I asked to try the brand name Synthroid. What a difference!!! It improved my numbers even more (same dose, TSH decreased to 1.75) and not only that, I felt better. I had energy. My experience is night and day. I know generics are supposed to be equivalent but I can tell you there is a difference. Synthroid brand  works so much better than Levothyroxine. Recommended."


"I am 50 been an active person all my life spent 24 years in the Regular Army eat well don't smoke never have, drink only on a weekend.Went for a medical my BP was 163/108. Went on  a ECG, had urine and blood test all normal.
I had that 24 hour monitor various readings some OK but most too high. I hate taking tablets I don't even like taking paracetamol.
My GP  is a similar age to me and he is good to explain pro and con"s of medication. I reluctantly went on Ramiprill been on it a week now to be fair it"s ok. Bit of a funny head but nothing to worry about..I have been a member of my local Gym 23 years so the stereotype of being a smoker drinker or being overweight is NOT always the case.."


"I was diagnosed with gastroparesis in 2012 and have a neuro abdominal stimulator transplant. I take both strengths; 290 when home and 145 when I travel. Both work well as I have no ability for food to move out of my stomach. I do take it every morning and while I can consider it a bit violent at times (stay close to a bathroom after a couple hours of taking it), if I don't take it, I will not have any movement. I don't care for miralax or other over the counters as I experience a lot of bloating, gas and cramps before it finally kicks in...and it takes too long to kick in for me.

My specialist has approved me to take the different strengths; I still don't know over the long term what effects will be on my kidneys or liver."


"I am a teen and if you are one too you might want to read this if your stressing and want to know how this works. I had sex with boyfriend he came in me with no condom. We bought aftera 1 hour or so later. My boobs were sore for about two weeks, it first started the day after I had taken the pill. The pain may get really bad but just breathe and relax, its a side affect. I got cramps here and there but it would feel like a little kick to my stomach. Then I had spotting for one day. I thought I was pregnant because of the dark color but that is also a side affect. Just breathe and let the pill do its work. Plan B and aftera are the same thing. Same ingredients. Don't dig through every website trying to see if your pregnant or not, its okay"


"I didn't want to deal with the inconvenience of a 7 day treatment which has worked so well for me before, so I decided to try the ovule. I cried first, when it got beyond tears I used a icepack. I ended up in the ER and they had to apply a numbing agent in addition to giving me an injection for the internal relief. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!"


"Taste was NASTY NASTY. Insurance only covered half so it cost $60 out of pocket."


"During the "procedure" my gyno first made sure my cervix was inline which felt like a pinch. As she was inserting the IUD it felt like the worst period cramp of my life, but was bearable. The whole thing from start (insertion of the speculum) to finish lasted probably 5 minutes. After it was over, she let me lay down for a little bit due to the cramping. The cramps lasted the rest of the day but were gone the following day. I had a heavy period for 3 straight weeks afterward, and 1 more later on, but nothing since. I had to make an appointment for 4 weeks later to have an ultrasound to make sure the IUD was still in place. All in all, I would suggest a hormonal IUD (Skyla or Mirena) to anyone who is able to get one!"


"This birth control did wonders for my stomach. Other brands made me so sick and if I forgot and had to take 2 at a time I was throwing up in the middle of the night. These pills do not upset my stomach at all which is great. Haven't noticed any other side effects maybe a little moody at times but I think that's just my period. Also no weight changes for me"


"I had spontaneous premature labor with my first pregnancy, and delivered my son at 30 weeks 1 day after a two days of attempts to stop my labor. I received the makena injection beginning at 19 weeks during my second pregnancy, and received my last shot at 35 weeks 5 days, I believe. I had my daughter 8 days later at 36 weeks 6 days, so almost what is considered full term. I'm currently pregnant with my third, and began the injections at 19 weeks again this time. I'm 35 weeks now, and as of last week my cervix was still high and closed. I've not had any side effects from the shots other than injection site reactions a few times, such as some itching, swelling, and a lump/knot. My overall experience has been good, definitely worth it!"


"Im a 38 yr old female. I was prescribed Amlodopine 10 mg in April bc my bp was 150/99. After taking it for a week, I woke up one morning and I was having trouble walking. The doctor told me that I had Achilles tendinitis. My Achilles (back both of ankles) had swollen knots on them.  Im an active person, and I knew that I hadn't injured both of my ankles at the same time. 1 month later, I went to the Sports medicine doctor who also told me that I had Achilles tendinitis. He sent me to physical therapy for 6 weeks. PT did not help me at all. I googled Achilles tendinitis & amlodipine together. A doctor did a study in 1999 that connected the 2. I stopped the amlo & 2 weeks later my ankles were 70% back to normal."


"I never had a problem with regular Amox 875, I asked doc to prescribe regular Amox for a recent upper respiratory -- instead I got this 'enhanced' version.  What a mistake. Every cough resulted in stress incontinence including severe explosive diarrhea. My overall symptoms got worse -- asthmatic bronchonitis with wet cough developed. This went on for 2 1/2 days until I read the side-effects and read the caution to IMMEDIATELY stop the med if severe diarrhea due to potential GI problem it can trigger. Never again, will I take this med."


"I have a chronic cough for 2 months from allergies that turned to a bronchitis/asthma thing.  On other inhalers and allergy medicines and took Delsym, because the cough wouldn't stop.  Soothed the cough a little so I could get some phlegm out.   Thinking next dose would do the trick, but 8 hours after the first dose I had bad gassy poops!  Don't think I will take the second dose"


"I took it for a week.  The first 2 days brought a headache & then that resolved.  I was also a bit nauseous those 2 days.  I did notice that I had almost no appetite right away so apparently it is effective for satiation.  I had to stop taking it though because of the following:
Cough started immediately & resolved the day after I stopped taking it.
Dizziness & difficulty with balance.
Deep sleep & trouble getting going in the morning, when the dizziness was worse.
Sneezing & sore throat.  Now this may sound like maybe I just had a cold, but I didn't.  I am a nurse and I know the difference.
Some difficulty with memory & concentration.
Dry mouth, but that is no big deal.
Another deterrent for me is that I can't take my migraine med with it"


"Drysol has seriously changed my life! I have excessive sweating on my scalp and face. No matter where I went, sweat would be pouring down my face like a waterfall. The biggest issue I had with the sweating was at work as I was serving food, and obviously nobody wants to be served by the sweaty girl. Some days I didn't even want to go to class because I my face would be dripping with sweat. I was recommended Drysol by a dermatologist but I was told that it would sting a lot but I was willing to try anything. Let me warn you that it burns like crazy. You will want to wash it off but stay strong, it is worth it. I applied it on my face for 3 nights and my scalp for 2 nights and I am dry as a bone!!! Drysol has forever changed my life."


"Had severe chest pain, but knew it wasn't my heart. Endoscope showed 2 duodenal ulcers, started Dexilant, pain gone quickly, but I'm having high blood sugar readings."


"Best laxative out there! I have chronic constipation due to psych meds. I've tried every laxative out there, and have a very healthy, plant based diet etc. but nothing has helped. Milk of magnesia is the only effective remedy I've found. Best to take it on an empty stomach- it doesn't seem to work if you're full of food- and drink lots of water. Within 2 hours of taking 4tbsp I had 2 bowel movements. No cramps or bloating or pain or diarrhea. This stuff works great."


"The VA started me about 3 weeks ago for my Severe neck pain, spinal issue and I actually thought I got placebo instead. Not touching the pain, especially at night. Waiting on MRI before further meds are changed or prescribed. Been having spinal issues for 30+ years due to a fall. Had hardware installed and bone taken out."


"I had extreme nausea,  couldn't keep water down much less any kind of food. I tried 4 different medications before the diclegis. Only one of those 4 worked but I felt so drugged and I was slurring my words. I'm extremely tired with the diclegis but I can keep some food and water down. I'm taking 2 at night,  1 in the morning and 1 at noon.  My house is messy a lot and my 2 year old sometimes wears pajamas all day because I'm so tired. It's not a perfect medicine but it's better than not being able to walk across the room without almost fainting and going to the ER once a week for IV fluids and nutrition."


"I have only had the Mirena IUD for a week but I wanted to share my experience. My OBGYN recommended it for heavy menstrual bleeding. I had a tubal 6 years ago, after my 5th child, so I don't need birth control but this was her alternative to having the ablation surgery.

Insertion was done in the office, on the first day of my period. I took ibuprofen before I went in for the appointment. The insertion itself felt no different to me than a Pap smear. No cramping at all during or after. I was only spotting  to begin with since I had JUST started my period. The next two days were very light period days for me, where they normally would have been super heavy.  I'm still spotting a week out, which is normal for me. So far, no complaints!"


"Hi my daughter is 12 I has been taking mirtazine for a good 2 months because she could not sleep and had depression. It is the best  for her she can sleep and  the depression it is getting better. I hope it keeps working."


"I always have a super high pulse and the last time I went to the doctor he prescribed me this to lower it and prevent migraines. I've been on it for almost a month now at 25mg once daily. During the day I feel tired, and have this gross heavy feeling in my chest. I also can't sleep at night anymore. I'm going back to the doctor in a few days to try to switch to something else."


"After removing a prolific stone producing gallbladder that was causing biliary blockages, anything I ate would basically go right through, particularly the first meal of the day. My gastro doc prescribed the Cholestryamine and bingo problem resolved. I take it every evening around 9 or 10PM, have normal stools the next day and my first meal stays put along with everything else I eat. It will not dissolve and is like drinking sand, but for me it (Prevalite) goes down easier with a glass of apple cider (not juice). The generic version made by Sandoz I find is easier to take in plain water. As a bonus this drug also reduces my cholesterol."


"It causes me to shake constantly and gives me a feeling like I'm about to vomit for hours. It also keeps me awake all night."


"Before in 2015 I took doxycycline for 3 months and it barely did anything to my skin. I guess I could say it helped by 10% but that's it. My acne kept appearing and eventually I stopped because it wasn't working. So later in 2016 I was desperate so I started doxycycline again and now I've almost been on it for a month and I can say that it hasn't helped my hormonal acne AT ALL. But I don't have much medicine to resort to help with my persistent acne so I'm hoping it gets a little better. My diet is very clean with no dairy and still I don't see an improvement with this medicine."
