"I am  on 1000mg a day of lithium along with quetiapine and lamotrogine. This keeps the excitement at bay but I am prone to rapid cycling which is stressing. However it keeps the mania at bay but the down side is bad. Lithium has made a noticeable difference."


"Sadly the condom broke while me and my bf were having sex and we didn't realize until after he finished. I was also on day 4 of my period during this, but I decided to take plan b anyway because I didn't want to take any chances even though the risk of pregnancy was low to begin with. I took the pill within 45 minutes. I had to wait almost 5 grueling weeks for my period to come. Ladies, my period came 2 WEEKS late. I was too scared to take pregnancy tests so I just waited for my period. I believe it came so late due to extreme stress so try not to worry about it because it can cause your period to be very late if you worry too much. Your period WILL come just be patient!! Stay safe ladies!!"


"I am 71 and have had constipation all of my life. I've tried OTC products (all of them) and even some prescription products. I take 4 of this per week with plenty of water. More give me some cramps.  However, my constipation is finally under control.  It isn't easy, but I do get results about 4 times a week.  That beats 1 or 2 with a lot of bleeding from strain.  I may increase to 7 times per week and see if the cramping stops.  I have a superlong colon which has caused the chronic constipation."


"I am a 47 year old woman and for the last few weeks have suffered asthma-like symptoms, common when I have a cold. The doctor prescribed this as I wasn't getting better only using the inhaler. I took first dose at night, the next this morning and I have had diarrhea all day. Apparently stomach problems can be a side effect. While I know some medications have side effects when first starting, this is not tolerable. I will not continue and will see an allergist for possible other solutions. I am sure it is the advair."


"I love the patch!!!! I have used it for 6 years and no problems. I use it 3 weeks on with 1 week off. I never had any side effects like being itchy or red marks. The only issue I've had is when I go to the beach the salt water wears off the stickiness but I always bring an extra one due to knowing that happens. I've never had a problem getting pregnant from using it. I think it's great I've never gotten pregnant while on the patch but once I took it off it took me about two months to get pregnant. I love it and will continue using it."


"I have had anxiety for over 14yrs. I have been using lexapro for 1 year it has kept me emotitionaly stable but it has not helped my anxiety at all. I use 40mg."


"My experience with this medicine has helped me through school very well and I don't fall asleep in school, I pay attention very well. It doesn't wear off until I get home. Then I'm really tired but the really tired part is okay I don't really mind. This is my key for school. I don't take it in the summer and whenever it's time for school. My Vyvanse is a really big help."


"I used to be on Yaz and really loved it but, I was worried about all it's latest bad reviews.  I just switched to Zovia and my breasts are so tender.  I thought it would be great to go up a size (I heard this from a friend) but it is really painful.  I'm also very bloated which I'm not used to because you never get bloated or acne from Yaz. I get my period next week so still unsure if it will be as light as it was on Yaz."


"I have been taking this for night trips to the bathroom .
Started a 3mg  2 years ago and just started slowly increasing to 10mg. I stopped taking due to the side effects of rapid pounding heart beat, chest pains, dizziness, no real change in sexual functions which is good thing. Not a big change in night trips to the bathroom.
Off to the Doctor today."


"I was on Zarah for 5 years and recently began ovulating on the pill so my doctor wanted me to go on something with a bit more estrogen and recommended Mononessa. I was pretty nervous with all the mixed reviews I read before taking it, especially because I experienced no side effects with Zarah. In all honesty, the first 4 days we're not pleasant. I had what felt like non-stop migraines, my anxiety was on a different level (I kept thinking I was suffering from DVT and was having mini panic attacks) I had weird palpitations when working out and I had a lot of trouble staying asleep. All of a sudden on day 5, I felt normal again. I guess my body just needed to adjust and hopefully symptoms don't come back!"


"Trazadone is without a doubt the BEST drug I've taken for sleeping issues. <10min from ingesting, I'm out....like a freakin light. Absolutely unconscious until my alarm goes off. I never feel groggy or Ambien-like. Its the perfect med with no drawbacks. Simple as that."


"I took Sprintec for 3 1/2 years consecutively and it prevented pregnancy and cleared up my acne quite a bit.  My period used to be a bit unpredictable since it wasn't on a 28 day cycle.  On Sprintec my period came VERY regularly, practically down to the hour every 28 days and only lasted the regular 5-6 (normal for me). I stopped taking it to get pregnant, which happened 6 weeks after I stopped taking Sprintec and I have a healthy baby girl.  I breastfed for the full first year so I was on the "mini" pill. Last night was my first night back on Sprintec.  I forgot to eat anything with it and woke up at 4 A.M. throwing up.  7 hours later I'm fine and it works great otherwise. Just take it right before or after eating a full meal."


"I was in the E.R. for my usual anxiety waiting to be sent to a Mental health treatment facility.  I lay there for seven hours. I tired but I could not sleep. It's like the voices around me were getting louder and louder.  I eventually exploded. It took three security people and nurse stuck me in my thigh from a distance with Ativan, it was great. The Anxiety demons went away and I felt normal. I was later prescribed Ativan. I've tried many medicines in my twenty seven year battle with Depression and Social anxiety and anxiety and O.C.D. and P.D.S.D. Nothing works like Ativan."


"Too many side effects only 2nd week but no energy major pain in lower stomach pains is it worth it! Not sure"


"Abilify has been a lifesaver for me, probably literally. I've tried at least a dozen different medications (for the treatment of depression and social anxiety) since I was 16 (I'm now 25) and Abilify has probably shown the biggest improvement of them all. My mood is great most of the time, anxiety is reduced, and I have a lot more confidence than I used to. The one side effect: weight gain. I'm hungry all the time and have gained 20-30 pounds. Previously my mental health took priority over my physical health because I was so depressed. Now that I'm doing better I may cut back on Abilify in order to get back in better physical health. Hopefully the positive effects won't go away!"


"I have used this Lotion for one week and already have noticed a huge improvement in the reduction of redness, bumps and overall health of my skin. I am very happy with this product and would highly recommend it."


"I do not recommend nuvaring. I used it for six months and while it was effective in preventing pregnancy, l had terrible side effects. The first month or two wasn't too bad but every month would gradually get worse. My lady parts were so sensitive. The skin was so irritated it would burn during sex and I would get fissures sometimes just from sitting down. The irritation caused itching and overall discomfort that in the very end of using it, even prevented me from being able to be intimate at all. I went to the doctor for possible bacterial infections, yeast infections, but none were the cause. After six months I finally realized it was my nuvaring. I've been off for almost a month and I'm completely back to normal."


"Has done a great job at preventing full blown migranes from interrupting my life when I used to get multiple migranes a week."


"I have spent years not getting proper sleep. I went to visit the hospital and the Doctor Stuck me on Clonazepam when I told him about my sleeping issues. Since I have taken it I have been able to sleep good. Still a bit early to tell but so far I give it a 7 out of 10."


"I received Taxol along with cisplatin every 4 weeks for a total of 4 treatments.  I did not recognize the numbness in my feet as a side effect because it was winter time and that is how my feet frequently feel most of the winter.  So far the post op and post chemo tests are negative.  I had no other problems during the chemo treatments."


"For someone who has always suffered from medical issues (Crohns Disease, eczema, heart murmur) I'm no stranger to medications.  I have a simple bacterial infection in my belly button and my doctor put me on this drug (2x daily for 7 days).  After 24 hours I was nauseous constantly and spent my time in bed or the bathroom.  After pill five I am completely incapacitated.  After reading these comments and seeing how many other people share my troubles, I will be stopping if my own accord and never taking this again.  Especially not for a simple bacterial infection that has never caused me any problems in the first place.  I now know learned I will always research a drug before taking it."


"I give Treximet a 10 rating based on my 30 plus years of suffering from migraine. For me, it stopped the migraine in it's tracks without the nausea I experienced from the Imitrex injection or nasal application. It also kept me from experiencing the 24-48 hour "hangover" that I would experience after the acute phase of the migraine had passed. An excellent drug!"


"My anxiety was extremely bad and I had tried lexapro but the side effects for me were horrible; so my doctor started new on BuSpar. I've been on it now going on two weeks and I can say I do feel a slight difference. My anxiety is still there but not as bad... I'm still having attacks off and on but I'm going to stick with this and give it some more time. The only side effect I have is the dizziness but I've learned if I eat even just a piece of toast that it helps with that. Other than that no side effects. I say if your suffering give this a try and stick with it."


"It did not work for me, it made me sleep worse."


"I started taking this drug over 15 years ago whenever I had unwanted mind chatter going on. It wasn't like I heard voices in my head like crazy people,  just my thoughts going crazy almost allowed to keep me awake. If someone said hey I like that color blue on you, I would think it's because I look fat in other colors really bad another color and then I would start obsessing about that. It really was a prison that I was in and obsessing on things that were small and absolutely had nothing to do with my life. Luvox 100% almost as if it took away every single one of those problems that I had and no longer have any sort of Mind chatter or even think much about if someone gives me a compliment other than hey thanks."


"This drug was wonderful (along with Menopur)."


"First time ever having to take an antidepressant. The first day I took it, I thought I was going crazy because I felt so good. On the third day my daughter noticed I was more energetic. I'm about 2 weeks into it now, and feel great. I'm able to move about and not be so sluggish. I keep forgetting it in the morning and have been taking it late afternoon and it doesn't seem to affect my sleep. Actually I have been able to go to sleep before midnight when I had been going to sleep at least 2 or 3 in the morning. I can lead a more normal life because I'm not sleeping until most of the morning is gone and feel so much more energy! Usually as soon as something bothered me, I'd go down, but now I'm able to keep going. Loving this."


"I have anxiety disorder. Ativan 1 mg. does nothing for me. No side effects either."


"I had a great experience on this medicine. I recently stopped because I got sick of the spotting. What makes me mad is as soon as I stopped, my body had finally got used to it. I was a pretty fit person too. I am 5'6 and I weight about 145 when starting, and then dropped down to 130. It's very, very rare to lose weight so don't think it will happen to you but I went to the gym in my spare time ( I mainly ran a lot) and I lost the weight. It was great and I never had to worry about being pregnant. I plan to go back on this bc again. Plus, it was free. I have tried plenty of bc and can't stand the pills, tried the nuvaring because that was free with my insurance too. Nope hated it. Everyone is different but overall this was the best BC I was on."


"Took the medicine when I was certain my headache was a migraine and it was completely gone in an hour or less with no side effects.  My insurance used to cover it but now I am getting a lot of push back, switched to Relpax which is also a good but still struggling with insurance. "


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I was on Yaz for years. Even if I would skip a week or two on it, my face would start breaking out and literally within three days of taking Yaz my face would be crystal clear again. I completely went off the pill for a year due to prices, but now just went back on to BeYaz since it is cheaper and supposed to be the same thing.
I've been waiting it out for three months, hoping I would improve- but my ance is actually getting WAY worse! I thought Yaz and Beyaz had the same ingredients...did I become immune to the effects."


"I've been on Norco 10/500 2 times a day on and off for years. I have deteriorating defibrosis and the pain is unbearable especially in the mornings if I have not taken the medication to the point I can't get out of bed for about 20 mins and with help. I have tried tramadol, Valium, Flexeril, you name it. Norco is the only medication that works wonders."


"I'm on the second year of having Nexplanon. At first, I loved having it because I didn't have to remember to take the pill every day and my periods stopped all together. Then the 2nd year I started getting random spotting and now I have been having my period for 3 months on and off, weeks at a time. I thought it would go away, but it continuously happens, so I'm getting it taken out. Its a highly effective birth control especially since I get my period every week now. I haven't experienced any weight gain or mood swings at all though!"


"This is actually my 2nd time quitting on Chantix and will be successful this time because I am ready and dedicated. I'm so stubborn, been smoking for 35 years. When I quit the first time it felt like I lost my best friend, kind of down but this time I am proud to quit. Who cares about vanity, I can lose the couple lbs I put on I mean at least I will be around this life a little healthier/ longer and happier!  Nicotine."


"I have been on Cymbalta for 6 years. I am 51 and have a family history of depression and only recently have I accepted that I may have it very long term. For those in Australia I recommend the generic version called Coperin (I get it from Priceline) which reduces the 'brain fog' of Cymbalta. I have been very happy on Cymbalta (Coperin), it changed my life. I hate that I rely on a tablet to enjoy life, but it is a small price to pay. My GP occasionally suggests I try a new drug but I always refuse. I have much improved relationships with people and it is great to have lost the anxiety which has completely disappeared. I have been on 30mg for 4 years, but am increasing to 60mg for a few weeks as I seem to be going through a bout of anxiety."


"I've just finished week 2 for 4 bcc. I use Aldara 5 times a week. The bcc on my neck and arm are going well. The one on my chest is ulcerated so my doctor said to have 4 days off instead of 2. The one just above my lip is really ugly. It was quite small but now is huge and won't stop bleeding. Doctor said at least a week off for that one. I feel quite well so far-just itchy and maybe a bit tired. I'll update again in another 2 weeks."


"I was prescribed these meds to aide in my weight loss journey. I struggle with PTSD, anxiety, depression, sleep apnea, and pain. My meds have added to my weight gain and I have been trying really hard to work it all out at the gym.  I am really hoping these will boost my weight loss which will intern lift my mood, relieve my pain, etc.... Pray for me it works!!!"


"Nasacort was good news/bad news for me. The past year I've had terrible post nasal drip that my Zyrtec and Astepro were not taking care of, so I added the Nasacort. I had terrible coughing attacks day and night. In a few days on this spray, the drip is so much better and coughing much less. The bad news is this usually fun loving, peaceful, yoga type, meditating, tree hugger kind of girl wants to pick a fight and punch someone in the nose. Steroids! I can't take steroid pills, but my doc insisted this was not absorbed by the body. I think it's safe to say he was wrong. It's the middle of the night and I'm pacing the floor. My apologies to the person I pick a fight with today. At least my nose won't drip on you."


"For 6 years I've been sweating so much that keeping my arms down wasn't enough. The sweat would creep about 2 inches out. I'd always wear jackets and say I don't want to tan. I live in Arizona! That is impossible. It does not snow here and it is always 109 degrees. Walking home is not smart and Drysol, Secret clinical strength, all clinical strengths, regular deodorants, Arid dry creme, and the home remedies like baking soda. NOTHING WORKED. Went to my doctor, she easily said Hypercare because its worked in her 15 year career and none of the 7 people she prescribed it to complained. I had doubts. IT WORKS. "


"Tailbone injury, quite severe pain. Percocet is working wonders. Stopped taking Percocet 1 month after the injury, a very painful experience. Continuing the medication until I get into physiotherapy. Doctor says physio should help with the pain. I plan on stopping the Percocet once the pain becomes bearable to live with."


"Flonase is the best! I suffered from horrible night-time congestion. This medicine is a miracle. No more waking up all night unable to breathe with a horrible headache and feeling like a zombie for half the day! No side effects at all for me. Only downside is the expense without insurance. Wish they had a cheap generic version."


"I really like this medication, however it does make me a bit grouchy and mean during the first week of each pill package. My appetite is normal. My periods are very light. No cramps. Was worried about the weight gain, but I have lost weight so I am guessing it can be due to work or some ingredient that does not cause a lot of bloat and water retention. In result, I am looking forward to stay with this brand."


"Best ADHD medication I have taken. All the pros of Adderall without the crash or mood swings. However sometimes if I haven't taken it for a few days, when I take it again I get horrible migraines at night."


"I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in the first grade and was put on many different ADHD medicines like Ritalin and Cycler to name a few and had bad experiences with both so in the 5th grade I took myself off of them and my grade dropped to d's & f's and I dropped out in 9th grade. Recentley I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was put on Depakote and Seroquel recently my doctor wanted to try me on Adderall and it has worked wonders for me. It has helped me stay focused and am able to sit still and it has helped with my bipolar disorder and I am no longer tired all day to to my pain management medicines. I highly recommend this medicine for anyone with ADHD and bipolar disorder. The only side effect is teeth grinding. Awesome medicine."


"Around month two on trinessa I developed a few hives on my stomach but didn't connect it to the drug until month three or four when the rash had completely overtaken my stomach and sides. I stopped taking this medication and the rash cleared up in about two weeks and hasn't returned. Very weird."


"Vyvanse changed my life for the better. I've been taking it for almost 2 years now and I honestly don't know where my life would be headed or where I'd end up without it, but looking at the direction it was going in before I got diagnosed with ADD, I wouldn't have gone far and probably ended up as a loser. I can finally read a book and know what I read or do my homework on my own! Since this medication; I stopped making stupid choices, went from D's to all B's. It helped my depression and it changed my life dramatically. My relationship with my friends and family has grown stronger. Before Vyvanse I pictured my future as a druggy, now I have a job and I am looking forward to becoming a vet."


"My doctor had prescribed Ambien.  Before taking it, I wanted to know side-effects.  Found that it can have very negative unwanted side-effects.  Therefore, did NOT even take one tablet.  Threw them out!  So, I turned to the Equate Nighttime Sleep aid, 50mg., which was a good choice.  Help me to sleep well.  I do, though, awake although briefly around 2:30-3:00 AM after having gong to bed at 9:00 PM.  Notice some daytime sleepiness at times."


"Its hard to believe something like this can exist yet when you go to a doctor with cut up arms & hearing voices, scared out of your mind, obsessed about an idea as irrational as the empty tight feeling in your chest they give you a box of antidepressants. I have always been socially awkward & use to cry allot as a kid, the day dreamer who enjoyed being alone except I didn't like being alone. Tramadol gives me around 6 hours of bliss, 6 hours of clear thoughts of what is in-front of me, its amazing. a cure to unhappiness, its a shame its difficult to get, I have been on it for a year and a half, 1 50mg pill every 3 days gives me the motivation to wake up. "


"I was experiencing awful panic attacks and anxiety that wouldn't let up, I tried so many medications but Cymbalta was the one that worked best for me.  Started at 30 mg for a week then went up to 60, then up to 90 mg where Im at now.  Only down side was it seemed like it took a long time to get here almost back to normal after almost 2 months but I'm glad I'm here, have not had a panic attack in weeks, anxiety is down and I'm off all benzos.  Stick with this medication it did wonders for me and I'm very sensitive to medications."


"Yep, I took ONLY 1 Mucinex D almost 24 hours ago for the 1st time and I'm still up. During the 1st 12 hours I didn't sleep a wink because I took this pill right before bed. My nose was dripping the whole night. This thing definitely unclogged my sinuses without the uncomfortable burning sensation of inhaling and the pain behind my face. My sinus relief lasted the whole 12 hours! I kept thinking it would wear off sooner. Throughout the day I haven't stopped sneezing and it's a scary sneeze, as in a loud scream, I've been scaring people all day. This is not my normal/typical sneeze. I usually sneeze like a silent little bunny! This is how I found this website to find out what this sneezing is all about. Doctor prescribed."


"The nexplanon made me have a period for 3 months straight after I got it, and it also made me gain over 60 pounds, but for it to prevent pregnancy it's great. I had this birth control for 3 years I get it out in November."


"Latuda has been amazing for my anxiety. It helps calm my mind and slows down my racing thoughts. Since starting it, that part of my mental health has been almost completely resolved. I still take other medications for depression, as Latuda helped for a little while in that area, but I slipped into another Major Depressive Episode while on it. As far as racing anxious thoughts go though, they're nonexistent for me at this point (after being my main mental health issue for ten years). I had some side effects in the beginning (nausea after taking it, not wanting to eat for a while, and a little bit of restlessness), but all of those resolved within a month or so. I'm very thankful for Latuda."


"Almost a year ago, I suffered a major depressive episode and I have tried mulriple medications. Although I experienced some minimal success at being able to easy again and get out of bed, I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder as well as Generalized Anxiety. Being on a leave from work for months, I felt pretty defeated that I would be able to get back to "normal". I took a DNA test and my doctors and I decided to try Prestiq. In the first two weeks, I has almost no side effects but it did little for my mood too. Now that I am finishing up my 4th week, I am finally seeing good results. It's early, so I couldn't rate this med a 10 but I am hopeful. This CAN work but it's not a quick response! I think this one requires patience."


"It makes me feel normal. I like it, but I sometimes get hot flashes and dry mouth. My husband also takes it and it does well for him but has sexual side effects."


"Relieves knee and hip osteoarthritis pain immediately. Have used when required for approximately 4 years with no known side effects. I am 70 year old with hypertension controlled with medication."


"I've been taking Chantix for nine days, after having been a  2.5 - 3 pack-a-day smoker for 44 years.  Because of the length and strength of my addiction, I supplemented Chantix with smoking cessation hypnotherapy.  I have had no side effects.  I'm terrified of gaining weight, so the hypnotherapist includes suggestions such as "I will not snack" during my sessions.  He also includes "no irritability" suggestions. I've  taken to drinking diluted grapefruit juice instead of diet soda.  I'm down to seven cigarettes a day.  I still have triggers - like sitting at the computer - but, overall, cutting down on the way to quitting has been easier than I anticipated."


"I highly recommend that those who are prone to any sort of acne try a DIFFERENT brand of birth control. Junel Fe, otherwise known as Microgestin, is a pill that will not usually make one's acne better, it will either stay the same OR make it worse. I was sadly in the latter category. This is because it's a low estrogen pill. With Junel Fe I began to get acne all over my face - my jaw, cheeks, forehead, and chin. I would get up to 7 painful, embarrassing cystic lumps at a time and tons of zits that were oddly prone to leaving scars. I went from almost perfect skin to having adult acne! Nothing improved after 6 months. Seems like good skin on birth control isn't possible for everyone...Anyway, a high estrogen pill is probably better for acne."


"Why would they put fragrance in a pharmaceutical cream?? My doctor prescribed this medicine and I'm allergic to scents so I just wasted my money on this. It's not covered by the medical plan and since I opened it, I can't return it. What a waste of money."


"*Not pregnant *
I had unprotected sex October the 2 my partner did not finish inside me but ethier way you should never have unprotected sex : I learned my lesson so I took plan b 3 days after and I was stressing out so much I stopped eating that every morning after I took the pill I threw up stomach bile it was my worst nightmare and I started waking up before my alarm even hit and woke up every morning with a abnormal heart beat which I think was just all my anxiety and me not eating right and keep in mind I'm already skinny about 118 pounds  after a week from taking the pill I bled at first is was brown the night before it started and then the next morning it went heavy bright red for 4 days but my period was due in 2 weeks and came again"


"I have had mine in for almost a year and I love it, my period is pretty regular, and everything was the same. Insertion was painless and only a little bruise."


"I had started bontril in june of this year and as of today I have lost 50 pounds total. I want to lose 50 more pounds and then stop taking bontril. But I am a diabetic and my sugar levels and pressure level are normal. It has helped me a lot. I recommend it for weight loss."


"I am back to update my time on Bydureon. It has been going pretty good. My sugars were really going down I suffered a few lows 40 to 50s so Dr. dropped Januvia and Actos then my sugars started going up. It's been a rough two weeks but hopefully they will level out. My appetite has gone down a lot and looks like I am finally losing some weight."


"I was prescribed this to help alleviate my PMDD (severe depression associated with my hormones fluctuating around my menstrual cycle) and extreme menstrual cramps. I am at the end of week three of my first pack and the whole experience has been horrific. CLOSELY MONITOR YOURSELF when taking this if you have a history of depression and anxiety. I've been crying several times a day and have slept a full night in two weeks. I've felt more suicidal than I have in years and came close to checking myself into the hospital because my lows have been so severe. After talking to my SO today, it was confirmed that my mood has been greatly altered since beginning this medication. I have cramps everyday and am bleeding sooner and longer than normal."


"I go to sleep and usually wake up in an hour or so hungry.  Often I have to have a snack before I can go to sleep.  Still, without it, I have difficulty in sleeping at all due to an accumulation of various pains."


"After enduring years of itchy, runny nose and numerous daily sneezing episodes I got relief from Flonase.  Very pleased with product."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

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


"The Nexplanon is a horrible thing to go on I had it put in my arm July 21st 2016 an 2 weeks later I got my period AN I've had it ever since.  It's been 5 months. An my acne is horrible an I've gain like 10 pounds"


"Some itching with this but so glad not to go for blood work and to be able to eat whatever I want. Cardiologist put me on this in January as I was on warfarin since Dec 26. This doc does ablations for Atrial fibrillation (and teaches fellows also) and this is what he wanted me to take. Little bruising, minor bleeding when brushing, nothing significant. I also take amiodarone for the Atrial fibrillaiton."


"I have been on this medication for approximately 6 days. I have been experiencing pins and needle pain on my feet, hands and breast. Also fatigue and sore inside upper lip. Will be seeing my physician this week.

Has anyone experience this? May have to stop mybetriq."


"I felt better after the 2nd dose. It does work. Thank you."


"I had to go to the ER due to horrible stomach pains and was told I was 'plugged up' and needed laxatives. The ER doctor prescribed me Miralax and so far it's done nothing. Literally. It's been the three days they speak of on the back of the bottle, and I still can't go properly. I've been guzzling water like crazy, and not only does that make me nauseous (plain water is so freaking gross) and apple juice. I was told by the ER doc to take it once a day, then I called an gastroenterologist and she told me to take it at least 4 times a day.
We'll see, but so far this product has done nothing for me."


"I started taking this medicine 2 months back . I had to stop this medicine immediately as I started to have severe back pain and stiffness in my hip joints  .  Thankfully ,  I didn't have other side effects    . Don't take this medicine unless you have really bad acne ."


"I'm 5'5 starting weight 189 I started taking 37.5mg on 04/18 starting with half and alternating with whole and half pills each day. Serious dry mouth! But it really works I'm not hungry, I've been eating smaller and much much less. Snacking has was an issue for me but haven't touched cookies or snacks!!! I've been drinking water only no desire for juice or soda The first two days I experienced headaches I believe were the lack of food/nutrients. But Monday and Tuesday I've been taking women's multi-vitamins 1hr 1/2 to 2hrs before pill and headaches have gone. Already a night owl so this didn't help. But gives tremendous energy, so much so I don't even yawn throughout the day. I'm going to weigh myself Saturday to see what I've loss."


"I have been on this medicine since late September of this year (2013). I was on Abilify since I was 7 years old. I am now 21. I have gone from being a stick figure to a 254 pound blowfish and I'm 5.9". Since being on Tegretol. I have lost over 20 pounds and am eating less and am more on average scale of what a human being should be consuming on a daily basis. I love this medicine. It helps me think clearly meaning I am much more calm and stabilized with my bi-polar. The ONLY complaint I have is I am constantly having heat-flashes. I am male by the way. I have asked many different psychiatrists, pharmacy, and my PCP about it. None have ever found that to be part of the side effects. I rather deal with this then major weight gain from Abilify."


"I was worried going into this medicine after reading so many negative things. I took it for 14 days and had minimal side effects. I feel like it did what it was intended to do, and am grateful my pain has ceased and am feeling human again.  The only side effects I had were a headache one day...drowsiness...bad taste in the mouth a couple times, and a pretty active female yeast infection.  All of which are better now.  Good luck, to those who need it . Wishing you good results too."


"So my ex partner told me he had been positive with chlamydia so I went to doctors to get tested and she gave me the pills right away! I had to take 2 azithromycin, after about 3 hours I was getting mild stomach pains for about 10 mins then had to rush to the toilet and had diarrhoea so bad!! Was sitting on the toilet for a good 15 mins! After that I thought it was all good but went again an hour later. It's now 3.50am and I woke up to it once again and literally pooping like a waterfall!! It's so worth getting rid of this STI though! But far out feels like I took laxative tablets!!!"


"Excellent.  But after using for ten plus years,  and taking polyethylene glycol twice daily, it needs to be increased.  Can I go higher than 290 mg a day?"


"I started using epiduo apx 3 weeks ago with very little advice from the GP. I suffer with breakouts and really sore lumps under the skin across my jaw line and neck. Anyway after a about 2 weeks of using the cream the skin around my eyes and jaw was so red and sore I thought I was having some sort of reaction. I was trying to moisturise as the skin was literally flaking off my face but the stinging was unbearable. After reading this forum I started using cetaphil cleanser and moisturiser and my skin is no longer sore and is clearing up brilliantly.
advice - use cetaphil cleanser and moisturise before applying a tiny amount of epiduo, I don't wear makeup in the day so I take my moisturiser with me and top up around lunch time. Bear with it!"


"I have been using this product since it was made available without a prescription.

If you are going to use it, be sure to read the instructions and warnings.

This product has a period of time at the beginning of use that makes your acne worse and then clears it. I went through this process when I started taking Spironolactone, so I knew what to expect and I trusted that it would go away - it did.

My skin looks and feels fantastic! I still get an occasional zit here at there - I'm pretty sure it's my fault as I'm a toucher/picker/popper.

This is an easy product to add to your routine. Make sure to use it at night and wash off in the morning so you don't have to worry about sunburns.

I highly recommend Differin."


"I've been on Aubagio for 7 months. I just had a new MRI to check progress, and MRI showed no new activity. This is the first treatment medication that I've been able to handle, after trying every single other. Love it."


"I've had IBS-D for 20 years.  Not a severe case, but persistent and definitely impacted the quality of my life.  I tried everything: low FODMOP diet, gluten free diet, no high fructose corn syrup or sugar, no caffeine, immodium, bentyl, wellchol, rifaxin, peppermint pills etc. - nothing worked.  Multiple colonoscopies found nothing wrong. I finally tried 75 mg Viberzi and it worked immediately.  No side effects whatsoever so far.  Only two issues: (a) trying to remember how to be normal and (b) so far my insurance refuses to pay for it.  Got a 90 day supply for $30 on a special promotion but after that if insurance does not cover I don't know if I can afford to stay on it.  Cost per month is around $1000 - $1200."


"Horrible abdominal pain.  I was only able to take 3 doses before I had to discontinue.  The abdominal pain was similar to my 5 day appendicitis pain that I had prior to having my appendix removed."


"I also take Mucinex and have since 2003. As I have read the reviews I have not read any mention of having to remove salicylates from all topical products. Been on Guiafenesin for 10 years and has helped me greatly. "


"I have been taking Mirapex for 7 or 8 yrs, I am now up to 0.50 to 0.75 it has worked well for me, except I have gained a lot of weight, and now I am having augmentation, meaning my legs start jerking earlier in the day and my arms are starting to have it. I can't increase it much more, too much fatigue, I am concerned about what I am going to take now. I've tried other things that don't work so beware of dopamine agonists after so many years you become immune to it unfortunately.  I could not afford it if I had not qualified for patient assistance program, I don't have insurance."


"I am going into my 4th month. The first 3 months I was only on .6 injection and had a monster sinus infection, huge doses of antibiotics and prednisone during the first 2 months...not Victoza related. The prednisone reqired me to up my dose to 1.2 to keep my blood sugar levels below 100nd stable. I lost a few pounds at the beginning, but I was seriously monitoring calorie intake so not sure that it was Victoza related. Like another rater, I get nauseated if I eat greasy foods...I am learning what the triggers are for that and just don't eat them. I am also Celiac so a touchy gut is not foreign. Plain, healthy foods are much more appealing. I have lost 18.5 lbs over the last 4 months. 5 of those pounds in the last two weeks...I am happy"


"Y'all are trippin. I was freakin out after reading these reviews and I took 3 so I was expecting the worst. I had no cramps, no nausea, no sweating, no problems at all. The only thing that kinda sucked was it took longer than I expected, considering I took 3. I drank 2 bottles of water after I took them because I saw a few people recommended it so that may be why I didn't have problems idk. But the stuff works if you take it with a bunch of water "


"I have been using the Evra patch for a year and a half and it's great. For the first 6 months or so, I would experience nausea on the first day of a new box of patches and gained about ten pounds, but those are my only complaints. It is easy to use and sticks really well. I did have a patch come off ONCE but that was because my skin was not entirely dry when I applied the patch and I also did not press on the patch as long as I probably should have. As a lot of other reviews mention, the patch does form a small dark layer of lint around the edges, which some people find disgusting, but it really isn't that big of a deal. I apply it on the sides of my hips, so it is concealed in a bikini or tank tops. It has never come off in this position."


"I recently switched physicians and was placed on Bystolic after being on Benicar for over a year.  Benicar did not control my blood pressure; but since being placed on Bystolic I felt the difference immediately.  I had problems with palpitations, uncontrolled blood ptressure, sweating, hot flashes, and racing heart.  I am now much calmer and my blood pressure is under control.  The only side effect I am having (after being on this preescription for a week) is tiredness and a loss of appetite.  I do get a little dizzy about an hour after taking the medication, but Benicar did the same."


"On Pristiq since it became available switching from Effexor XR to Pristiq.  Less sexual side effects so far than any other SSRI or SNRI I have tried.  Still controlling my cataplexy, sleep paralysis, and REM-related phenomena of narcolepsy. So far so good and no complaints or problems."


"This medicine works wonders as far as its effectiveness. However the side effects are HORRIBLE!!! Not only do I have a disgustingly, horrible taste in my mouth that nothing seems to get rid of, but I'm so nauseous that every time I have to take another one, I automatically throw up just from the thought. The directions say to eat before or take with food, but I can't keep anything down, not to mention I'm extremely thirsty, but when I try to drink anything (including water) its disgusting. Everything tastes like this pill. I feel like I have a fever although I've checked many times, and I don't, and I'm having horrible headaches. However all of my symptoms are gone thank God. Lesson learned, currently abstinent for a long time!!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"The taste is terrible. I would rather there not be a lemon or sweet taste.  Thought I was going to be sick.  Holding breath, nose and big gulps is helpful.  This stuff does work though. I have a colonoscopy in the morning.  I suffered through the first liter at 6 pm and the second at 10 pm.  Couldn't make it through the entire 2nd liter.  I had about 2 oz left.  Good luck everyone!"


"Have only been using Pristiq for two days but it seems more effective with my depression and anxiety issues."


"Went on Apprillon (Oracea) for 3 months, had great results. I stopped taking them because I learned that I should be on birth control while taking them as the medication has been linked to birth defects. I'm not sexually active but it threw me off a bit, I don't like taking meds to begin with but I couldn't shake the idea that they could have that much of a negative effect. However, after months of not using it I'm thinking of taking it again, since my skin has returned to its previous state. I had no side effects, and it was covered under free health care/insurance.
All in all, 10 out of 10, would take again, would recommend."


"I'm 29 years old. Starting at age 13 I started having skin issues that became cystic acne. At 21 I had enough and tried everything. Finally I gave Accutane a try. It completely cleared my skin for 7 years. At 28 after having 2 kids I began to get some small breakouts. Never as bad as it was but definitely noticeable. I tried Epiduo for about 6 months and I think it made it worse. My OBGYN put me on birth control and I was given Aczone. I was skeptical at first of another topical medication but I tried it. I've been on it now in conjuction with birth control for 4 months and my skin is finally clear again. I'm still on my first tube and probably only half way through it. A pea size amount, twice daily. I'm very pleased with it!"


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


"I am on day 6 of a 21 day prescription, and am finally seeing and feeling the redness, tight skin, and itching all over my face.  I am very worried about what I will look like at the end of August when school starts (first day of school will be 8 days after treatment stops); I am a teacher and don't want to scare off my new students. I am thankful for the relief suggestions posted here, and I am also thankful that I did not procrastinate and I am getting this taken care of.  I have seen many people with parts of their faces- ears, noses) removed due to cancers, so I think of the "after" to get me emotionally strong enough to bear these next few weeks.  Thanks for sharing your experiences."


"I've had skyla inserted for about 3 months now. I took painkillers before I had Skyla inserted which was a great help. While it was being inserted, everything that lead up to the procedure wasn't terrible. It felt like very extreme period cramps, and a burning sensation but nothing crazy. Afterwards, I did spot for an hour or so & the cramps were outrageous. I had meds and a heating pad to help, and eventually they went away. Skyla has done a great job so far with helping my period become short and light, and protecting me from an unwanted pregnancy. It is worth it to get, as long as you can deal with a long period after skyla is inserted and extreme cramps for a short sections of time. Pain & blood do go away after the regulation of Skyla."


"I have been on this medicine for almost 3 months and must say it has a really big impact on my MS. I have improved. Who improves when having this disease for 10 years.  I have had side effects such as nausea, malaise, headache and GI problems but worth it for the benefits."


"My daughter had a liver transplant almost 15 year's ago. After 6 months Prograf was the only mediicine she was taking. Has had NO set backs, no problems. She has given birth to 3 beautiful, smart children with no problems or side effects.

Thank God for Prograf. She is on 2mg twice a day."


"I am 64 years old and began taking Contrave two weeks ago.  I am 5'6" and at the doctor's office I weighed in at 178.9 on June 24.  Today I weighed in at 175.0 so I have lost about two pounds per week.  My doctor advised to stay at the level I felt most physically comfortable.  I have noticed that it does make me drowsy  later in the day, particularly if I am not physically up and moving about. The advice was to take the first dose in the morning (early riser), and take the second dose closer to bedtime in the evening.  I am following a high protein/low carb diet and have not yet incorporated the exercise of 30-60 min. walks. Will do so when my dosage changes from 1/1 to 2/1 tomorrow and see how it goes.   Good luck, everybody!"


"The easiest birth control I ever took, I couldn't feel it at all, even during sex. My partner said he couldn't feel it either. Then only down side was the side effects, I'm a pretty tiny girl (5"7 under 120 pounds) and the ring made me really nauseous, unbelievably tired, my entire body was sore especially in my legs and overall made me feel a little weird. I didn't like how it was making me feel and after a couple of days of feeling really crappy I had to take it out. I felt normal after 2 days without it and haven't put it back in since. Might consider something else for next month."


"Percocet made tonsillectomy pain go from 9/10 to 4/19 allowing me to sleep comfortably at night.

It also works for my migraines as sleeping is the cure and the drowsiness effect makes it easy to sleep.

Finally, my ear is swollen shut now and *very* painful, and Percocet eliminates most of the pain."


"It keeps me very sane."


"When I started otezla, I was having moderate arthritis affects. Right away I had head and neck pain. Throughout the 4 months I was on it, I lost 10 lbs, no appetite, nausea, bad flu flares, sometimes rapid heartbeat and no discernable relief. At 4 month mark I experienced a massive spasming of my scalp and neck muscles. As in tetany. You need your neck to sit up, lay down, walk, drive..I couldn't do anything. I like to think my pain threshold is high, but this brought me to my knees. I've been on more Prednisone with otezla then ever before..just to counteract all the flares, tendon pain. I'm off otezla now for 4 days, and still cannot move my neck properly. I hope with time it goes away. No benefits, lots of aggravation. Not a good med for"


"Okay: typical story. I would cry because I couldn't wear red, and so on and so forth. Anyway, I'm currently on day three of using this. Night one: it burned and itched a bit but nothing major, and the next day- you guessed it- no sweating. Zip. Zilch. Played ping pong for literally 2 hours and was dry as the Sahara. Night two:  I showered and, without thinking, shaved, dried off thoroughly and applied the Drysol. I was shaking. My armpits felt like the fricken sun and I was considering writing my will. Day two: my pits hurt so bad that I couldn't lift my arms. Night three: showered, but definitely didn't shave. Burns unbelievably, and itches like sandpaper, but I believe that's because I basically slaughtered my sweat glands by shaving."


"I actually posted on here awhile back when I first started taking Lexapro. I have now been on 10 mg/day for four months. It definitely has cured my depression and irritability, but I always feel fatigued and I can't seem to lose the belly fat I acquired since being on Lexapro. My doctor insists this doesnot affect your metabolism or cause weight gain, BUT I am eating less (and better) than ever before, and exercising, and I can't lose any weight, where before, I could lose it pretty quickly with diet and exercise. I guess I'm not really sure if it's the Lexapro or not, but I do feel tired and bloated all the time. I am a really small person (4'11") and the belly fat really shows. Not sure what to do."


"This product is amazing! So happy to see it available again. Negative reviews seem to be people that weren't given proper instructions (or ignored the instruction given) to say out of the sun or use strong protection when using. Tri Luma is the only product out there that worked/works for me and that has made a huge difference in my life. I have seem amazing results in just a week when I first started using it. I am happy that its available again. Thank you for finally bringing it back. LOVE!"


"For me it has worked great. At first when I felt a panic attack coming on I took .5mg as soon as I felt it coming on and within 5-10 min I felt incredibly better. After about 3-4 months I was up to 1mg daily at most. It seemed to lose effectiveness after about 5 months so my Dr has tried other medications and weened me off the klonopin. After several months of trial and error (Guinea-pigging) I asked the Dr to put me back on the klonopin and it has since worked great again. Ive been back on it for about a month now. Hope it continues to work. I rated a 9/10 only because it lost effectiveness for awhile."


"I've been on birth control for almost 10 years. I have tried at least 8 kinds of oral contraceptive and went from feeling severe anxiety, spotting, nauseous, etc. The only pill that had seemed to work for me was Seasonale (which if you want to go the oral route, I definitely recommend) however couple of years ago it stopped working for me and had to come off it, switched to another oral and actually became pregnant (used precautions, was aware that it can take 3-6 months to work, had been on it for 8). After that I decided to try the patch and I absolutely love it. My sex drive is back with flying colors, no mood swings, no spotting. In the beginning I did feel a little nauseous but that went away in no time. I definitely recommend it."


"Antidepressants have only worked for me through there initial introduction phase and then they wear off and I can become suicidal again. Since 2 years ago I started Lithium carbonate and I can not remember feeling so stable and so happy in long time. What I like so much about this medicine is if I miss a few tablets in a row I it usually takes like a week and I feel my old self again. As opposed to antidepressants that can take 3-4 weeks. I love lithium, it has saved my life."


"The problem was sleep deprivation and my physician suggested Atarax and explained that sleeping is when the body restores itself making it vitally important to get a good night of sleep. I take one pill in the evening and sleep soundly and for now this is the right solution."


"I have been taking this for 12 yrs , made a big differences in my life. Tried every medicine and none had the same effect. Take two pills a day, 3 upsets my stomach. Without this I would be bedridden."


"So after almost a month no sex I got it....needless to say I got it...I went to doctors and he gave me 8 250ml pills in one dosage. I promptly went right back to work not thinking anything...oh ya empty stomach 9am....between sweating. Dry vomiting cause I was still driving.... not the work nearly cropped myself I thought I need food fast or I am pretty much fucked....I ate something and this point I shit pure Brown water 30 minutes straight....but it cured me lol"


"I got a Paragard at 24 and have never been pregnant. The insertion was not too painful, having the speculum inserted for about 3 minutes was uncomfortable and it just felt like period cramps the rest of the day. The first time I was sexually active a few days after insertion it hurt a bit but that was it. No pain after that but had pretty continual bleeding for 3 months. The bleeding was very light, I put a diva cup in all day and didn't worry about it, didn't even need it at night.
Only once at about 3 moths in after fairly rough sex I had a stabbing pain in the lower right side of my abdomen. Took an Advil which made it go away. Went to the doctor and the iud was in the proper place. Doctor said it could have been ovulation."


"not as effective as diazipam but as you probly know diazipam is for short term use only as it is very addictive unfortunatly."


"I'm hypothyroid and skinny as a rail and cannot even gain a single pound, 58 yo, 5'6" 88 lbs, thyroid damaged through radiation, have been on synthroid/levothyroxin 50 mcg daily, and I notice no change at all, still no energy, still totally exhaust 24/7,still losing weight like crazy with a relatively healthy appetite. However, since I totally trust my oncologist, I keep taking them."


"I started Lutera about a month ago. I was on the Nuvaring before that. I switched to Lutera because being as active as I am, the Nuvaring somehow found it's way out. Lutera is the first birth control pill that I have taken, and my experience has been great so far. The pills are small and easy to swallow which was a huge plus! I did not have breakthrough bleeding on the pill like I did with the Nuvaring {I skip my periods purposely by starting a new pack instead of the inactive week pill/Nuvaring} so that was fantastic as well. No pregnancies here, so it's been very effective for that! I never had any nausea with the pill, but I did have some weight gain {about 6 pounds, which did not make me happy!}."


"This birth control literally made me insane and depressed . Throwing it away was the best thing I've ever done !!!! Please be careful"


"NuvaRing is my first non oral birth control and I have been using it for 3 months now. I have had no bad side effects using it except that it can be felt during intercourse but that is easily rectified. It's super easy to use and as its in for 3 weeks, it's almost entirely worry free! It was a huge change for me not thinking about daily having to take a pill so that made a great change."


"First, let me preface this by saying that EVERY woman's body is DIFFERENT. Don't let these comments highly influence if you decide to take or not to take Sprintec.  You yourself have to try it and see if it works for you.
With that being said, I have been on Sprintec for a little over 5 months.  It works for me.  I really haven't had any side effects.....no weight gain, no acne, no crazy moods.
I am a Sunday starter and my period usually comes on late Tuesday or early Wednesday during the week of the placebo pill.  The only thing I will say against it is that I haven't experienced the shorter periods.  My period still stays on for about 5 days. Most importantly of all, I haven't gotten pregnant!"


"I took Zomig because I got diagnosed with migraines during my second year of college. I took it during one of the lectures. My face got wicked itchy so I had to take a Benadryl. The next time I figured that I would just take the Benadryl with it so I was safe......I found out very quickly that I have an anaphylaxis reaction and almost stopped breathing. While I understand that I'm just allergic to this medication it really didn't get rid of the headache and just made things worse for me. Hopefully it will work for others."


"Be 100% sure all opiates and methadone are completely out of your system, I had taken 60 mgs of methadone 6 days before I got my shot, I told my doctor up front, and I am not a chronic methadone user, maybe used it 4-5 times in the span of 2 months when hydrocodone wasn't available. It threw me into the worst withdrawals of my life. And I have had severe withdrawal in the past but this was so very intense unlike anything, for 2 days straight. The doc said it would be fine at 6 days but he was wrong, 15 min after injection I went into full fledge withdrawal, severe cramps, spasms, fever, vomiting, freezing yet burning up. Make sure it is out of your body completely before you start, if you test positive for methadone don't take the shot wait it out."


"Had been on the Zyclara, putting it on my chest only, for 10 days when I experienced high fever, chills, shortness of breath, nausea, sore throat, aching joints, headache, numbness in my fingers, metallic taste in my mouth, dry mouth and extremely tired.  Dr. told me to stop.  Symptoms still continue after 5 days off.  He refuses to say it's from the cream, but I am never sick and only became sick after being on the cream.  Hopefully, the cream will have done it's job  and after the redness and spots disappear, I will have a clear chest again.  It is a chemotherapy cream, so no wonder there will be side effects.  Stupid doctor for not taking responsibility for this!!!!"


"I started Wellbutrin SR just last week. I feel 90% better already. Previously I was taking Zoloft and after a year and a half I felt sluggish, tired, hopeless, and just plain blah. I now don't have constant worrying, it helps withy OCD, and the things that bothered me before have just become basically no big deal to me. I happier, I focus much better? And my spirits are brighter than they have been in months!!!"


"I'm writing again because it's been a little over a year since I posted my experience with Botox for dystonia and migraines. This past year has been truly remarkable and while I haven't been 100% migraine free or pain free, "Life is Beautiful". My doctor, God bless her, received training from Allergan on the latest protocol for migraines, so the frequency of my migraines has lessened with the new therapy. As I am writing this, I am amazed that not ONE muscle is in spasm in my neck...now the tears are starting. It's so wonderful! That's what I wanted to share.  Every time I've gotten my injections it's been a little different, but I think the variable has been me...not the Botox. Don't give up. Try it if you can."


"I had the same exact experience as neveragain. It was the worst pain of my life. I rubbed myself raw, it felt like poisonous gas on the outside and inside of my vagina. Sex hurt for weeks aftwards. I used this a year ago, and sex on occasion still hurts. If this truly does this to one in three people, it should be taken on the market."


"I would strongly suggest this product - I've been using it for about a year and a half with no complaints. Occasionally it slips down a little, but that's easily fixed. The only difficult part is that you don't develop a routine, so you have to mark a calendar to remember to take it out / put it in. I've only forgotten once, by a little less than a day, but that meant I had to wait a week to have sex."


Pinworm Infection (Enterobius vermicularis)

"My son, husband and I all took this and it certainly works! Yuck!  We knew we had them, but we were even blowing them out of our noses, eeeuuu, so gross!  Side effects have been all had a rash, 2 had/have headaches,  2 GI upset with diarrhea, & all 3 spent more time in the bathroom then we want to admit even here.  Is it worth it? YES, yes it is, especially if you consider the thoroughly disgusting alternative."


"I've been taking Valtrex for almost 18 years for suppression of cold sores.  i would get them all the time before Valtrex, probably like 7 a year.  I started with a daily dose of 500mg and would get one every now and again.  I up it to 1 gram and haven't had an outbreak in more than 10 years!  Now, I'm back down to 500mg and if i feel an olutbreak coming on I'll put a little zoviraz on it with some DMSO after and the sore goes away within 30 minutes.  The combination works well.  Hope this helps."


"Did not like the way the medication made me feel after."


"42 y.o. Female with anxiety and insomnia. Taking Lorazepam (0.25-0.5mg) before bed. Works very well for me. No side effects, lowers anxiety level and helps me to sleep. Never had a need to take more, only less and all depending on stress levels at home. Went for a long trip and forgot it, no withdrawal symptoms. 3 years and not planning to stop unless something better comes around."


"I have been taking this medication with a doctor's supervision for a month now and have lost nearly 20 lbs! This is certainly a kick-start and I feel hopeful, having 80  more to take off. I do feel full and energized while taking it. I still have an appetite, but am able to control it much more successfully. I drink a lot of water and chew sugarless gum to help with the dry mouth issue. I have minimized my carbohydrate/red meat intake and eat much more fruit and veggies. No more diet soda/artificial sweetners. I do use small amounts of raw olive oil for vegetables and salads. I have also found that when dining out, I am now only eating half of the portion. I am a bit more irritable but will deal with it, so happy with the result!"


"I had been struggling with opiate addiction for 2 years when I finally decided I had to give in and take methadone. I was set against it at first due to things said about it being harder to get off. I did succeed in quitting opiates cold turkey 2 times and I ended up going back cause I was stupid. I like any addict began to tell myself that I could still do it every once and a while and enjoy that sweet rush we all know and love. Well I was wrong. "


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


"After a full day of liquid diet drank the first bottle at 6pm. I was able to get it down with a straw no problem.  Drank a cup of chicken broth 15 minutes later to get rid of after taste. An hour later threw up everything and had to cancel the procedure after I called the doctor.  Whatever is left in my system did empty my bowels though."


"I got mine placed in August of 2014, I had a normal period after insertion and then the annoying "last day period" nonsense for three weeks. From September to March I had no period! Absolutely wonderful! However, now I'm getting break through bleeding, curiously the day after I have intercourse. It will be very tissue-y and not the typical period-like stuff. It lasts anywhere from a couple of days to over a week. I thought at first that maybe I was just getting a period. But since the beginning of March it has happened 4 times. I called my doc and she is going to get me in for an ultrasound and exam. She doesn't think its normal. Besides that however, I've had no issues."


"I have been using Keppra, in addition to my other anti-seizure medicines, for about six years. It has been great but the generic has been horrible. I just wish that manufacturers of Keppra would make it more affordable so that people like us wouldn't get nailed when the bill comes. "


"It did help a bit, but you really have to watch out for side effects. I recommend starting a mood journal if you haven't already while taking this medicine. It made me very violent without realizing it."


"I got mine put in in January of 08. I got pretty heavy periods for about 6 months after. I haven't used a tampon since, mini pads work just fine. I get it roughly every%uFEFF 8 weeks. Sometimes if it goes too long, I have taken a pregnancy test to make sure, all negative. I really don't like people making negative comments when they had it in less than a week. It's not instantaneous, you have to give your body time to adjust. The Implanon itself doesn't hurt, it hasn't pained me since the first few days. I have had NONE of these symptoms, any weight gain was from unhealthy eating habits. I do not bleed constantly, not stressed, crazy or depressed."


"I took this attempting to get rid of a cough and chest congestion. I am a 105lb 30 year old female. I took one pill yesterday and felt a little better. That was a half does so today I tried 2 pills, a full dose. After feeling nauseous for several hours I finally threw up several times and am feeling much better. I will not be taking it again, and would rather allow the congestion to run its course."


"I had to get rescued  from hypogycemia after using Ryzodeg insulin.  I see it is a  side effects"


"I started using Accutane a month ago and my face has not cleared up yet, The first week I had no new break out but then my, like clockwork they started popping up again. Hearing all these stories keeps me hopeful. I never had acne till I was about 20, I'm 22 now. Fingers crossed my face starts getting better."


"I was put on Nucynta 6 months ago. Way better than Norco. I am able to return to work and be productive. It is short term, about 3-4 hrs, but I feel more in control of my pain that way. Having trouble sleeping through the night with the pain waking me around 2 in the morning. Doctor prescribed Oxycodone time delayed to get through the night."


"I have been taking Xanax 0.25 for less than four years to control anxiety mainly before sleep. It works really well until it does exactly opposite for its purpose, causing more anxiety and distress. I have been taking Xanax randomly only to relax me before sleep, say 3 times a month, 10 times a month and most of the time half of the 0.25. I noticed that overtime especially in the months I took it more often, the anxiety, the fast heart beats and confusion and strange muscle weakness were getting beyond tolerable. In few words, I would tell anyone there that NO ONE should even begin taking this very addictive Xanax. Better suffer through your difficulties than using Xanax to ease your anxiety and panic. The drug will take you to abyss."


"Honestly, it seemed to make my face appear shiny/greasy and though it cleared up my moderate acne slightly, it did not make the redness/possible scarring areas go away on my cheeks as well the excessive pimples on my forehead. Talking to my doctor soon about a possible better acne solution.

Didn't work for me, but hope it worked for everyone else!"


"Had my first Lupron shot before 45 days of radiation. Having hot flashes,muscle and joint pain but not too bad. Doing the shot every 3 months. Psa went from 11.5 to 0.1. Next shot coming up in couple weeks. Don't have a problem with the shot or after having it. I think Lupron has been helping me, but everyone has different experiencies with it. Good luck to all you prostate cancer people."


"I went through a medical abortion and I decided to get the Mirena IUD because the pill wasn't working for me. I had mirena inserted 9 days after my abortion.
After my insertion, I felt no pain. I drove home pretty happy with my decision and relaxed for the rest of my day. Six hours later, I started getting really horrible cramps. It was so bad that I began having second thoughts, almost as bad as the abortion... Laying down, some hot soup and a heating pad made things tolerable.
The next day, the cramps dramatically subsided, and by the end of my first week, the cramps were nonexistent or very rare. It's been a month and I'm still spotting, but I'm very happy with my decision so far. Btw my boyfriend never feels it and he's at least 7in..."


"I got my first depo shot in October 2015 everything was fine till December started feeling really sleepy and had heavy bleeding for about 2 weeks then it stopped and started again on new years and ever since  I haven't stopped bleeding. It goes from spotting to light bleeding and heavy bleeding I am really scared and I'm only 18 is this normal ?"


Herpes Simplex, Mucocutaneous/Immunocompetent Host

"Stopped a lip breakout within an hour. I had gastric stasis from a migraine and I did not get nauseated from this medication."


"Only giving this drug a 5/10 because it has only been about a week and most medications work well for the first week.
However, at the moment things are going much better for me! I was at a point where I was crying and snapping at people almost constantly.
I'm now taking 25mg of vistaril in the morning and 0.5mg klonopin before bed. The vistaril doesn't make me tired at all, just strangely calm (not in a tranquilized way) and the klonopin helps me actually sleep. For now, this seems to be a great medication and a great combination as well."


"I started Nexplanon August 2015 after I had previously been on LoSeasonique birth control for 7 years, which gave me periods every 3 months.  The first 6 months on Nexplanon were great, no period!  Then I started getting cystic acne, deep painful acne under the skin that wouldn't go away.  I tried everything to get rid of the acne but nothing helped, my OBGYN said it was hormonal due to the implant.  Then I started getting irregular periods, and it was dark brown and clumpy.  Fast forward to February 2017, my acne is down to 2 bumps at a time but the periods start and stop without notice.  Some days it'll be so bad that I even get cramps.  Is it great that I don't have to worry about taking a pill? - Yes.  But the side effects suck."


"In preparation for a colonoscopy I was given this medicine case I became nauseated. I took 1 tablet as I was feeling a bit nauseous after taking the "cleansing" drug prescribed by my Doctor and within 15 minutes the nausea subsided. Then I fell asleep for several hours. Does what it is supposed to."


"For last 8 months, Fetzima has worked very well (after the initial transition period from my last medication.) Over the last 15 years, I have been on many effective anti-depressants, but after about 2-3 years these medications start to become ineffective (Zoloft, Lexapro, Cymbalta, etc). Started taking Fetzima 8 months ago, and the first month involved a lot of agitation/anger (very unlike me) and also having to adjust the dosage upward.....now at 120. Since then It has been a good experience. Feel centered and have energy. One very good side effect has been pain relief from my arthritis in my knees and back. I have dry mouth with this and every other anti-depressant I have taken. The drug is very expensive."


Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

"Been on hydroxychloroquine for 2 weeks now, yes nausea was an issue at first but easily resolved if you eat first. It has dramatically changed my quality of life I have more energy and in a year and a half I wake with no pain and stiffness."


"The person above me mentions he takes it with an ice cream sandwich. Don't. You aren't supposed to have dairy when you take this medicine. You have to wait until its absorbed 3-4 hours later. That's what the pharmacist told me."


"It was good for the itching but the discoloration wasn't helped much at all"

"Zoloft/Sertaline has allowed me to continue doing the job and living the lifestyle I love. Not only did it lift me out of the dark pit of depression, it has helped me cope with high-anxiety periods of intense stress - on a minimal dosage and without any side effects."


"I just started using Lyrica but I still sometimes have to take a Aleve with it some nights because I cannot sleep due to fibromyalgia pain."


"Normally antidepressants work on me within a few days to a week if they are going to work at all. Not so with mirtazapine! It took about 4 weeks to work and when it did, it improved my depression and anxiety symptoms more than any other antidepression/antianxiety drug I have ever taken (Lexapro, Wellbutrin, Cymbalta, Effexor, Klonopin). I am glad I didn't give up on it after a short time, for I never would have discovered how well it worked for me!"


"I am 29 been suffering since I was 15. I was Diagnosed with chronic cluster headaches until I was about 24. Dr currently has me on verapamil 240mg 2x daily. I've been on for approx 18 months after trying other various methods and well it Works EXCELLENT. I have 1 serious side effect..."I lost my mojo baby" no but for real being 29 and having zero sex drive and impotence problems with my current girlfriend is becoming an issue. I have tried to taper off verapamil but 2-3 days later the headaches come back. Verapamil is the only medication that has worked for me. I am not sure what I should do. Sex vs Clusters. Sad to say but I'd rather not have the headaches."


"Imitrex took away my migraine but I could not function on it.  I had to lay down completely still and go to sleep because it made me so nauseous I felt like vomiting every time I moved.  I was extremely dizzy and it made my skin painful to the touch.  Even after the migraine went away I still felt out of it the rest of the day.  I would definitely ask for samples before paying for the prescription!"


"I have suffered from obsessive thoughts for 26 years. I have tried different medications over the years. I was on Paxil for 10 years but I never ever felt totally well and I slowly stopped taking it and became very ill. I started taking clomipramine again seven years ago. Again it saved my life and I have been able to have a successful career. I take 250 mg a day. I hate the side effect of weight gain but I will never sacrifice my mental health to lose weight."


"I had the implant put in the beginning of November 2016. Within 3 weeks I had some spotting that lasted for two weeks but nothing since. My acne has gone away and I've had no major weight changes. I do feel slightly more emotional than normal but nothing over the top. I had some friends have similar side effects. Overall this is the best birth control I could have asked for!"


"So I had sex with a condom but it broke we stopped immediately n panicked becuz, well it broke but he didnt come. So just to be safe we got Plan B n took it literally 30 mins after. Mind you I was also ovulating. After a few days about 3 days later I got what I think was a light period but I couldn't tell - there was blood for 3 days. Then after that I constantly felt nauseous and emotional sometimes a bit dizzy but that could have been do to stress and me working out as well. But I took 2 pregnancy test at 2 different times becuz I haven't gotten my period yet but! Both test came out negative and I myself am known to miss my period alot because of how stressed I can. Sooo besides the side effects I think it works and I am also overweight."


"So I thought it was paranoia. Wtf? The package says mild burning with application and I've never experienced this before years ago. With everyone having the same experience I wonder if this isn't the right medication."


"I just started taking TriSprintec two days ago. I take the pill at 10pm everynight, as recommended by my doctor. The only side effects I've come across is being more emotional than usual - getting upset and crying over things I normally wouldn't cry over, and a slightly increased appetite. Hopefully these side effects will go away eventually. All in all it hasn't given me too many problems. "


"DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! Point blank period it should be illegal! It gave me tendinitis only 4 after starting"


"This pill did horrible things to me. I felt nauseous constantly and experienced severe anxiety. So much so, that I could not leave the house without crying. I was depressed and gained 8 pounds. All of this in less than a few months. I finally went off Tri Sprintec when I realized that it was causing me these side effects. Absolutely terrifying experience."


"Citalopram is the best thing that ever happened to me. It was like a cloud was lifted and I could see everything in my life clearly. It is amazing and I have very minimal side effects. Just more intense dreams and at first it messed up my sleep schedule. I would be tired alot and then not be able to fall asleep. But that passed after a few weeks. Ive been on it for about 9 months now and it is still working great!"


"This is first time a have had a generic for this med, usually I get Pliva.  Not  pleased with generic, prefer Pliva"


"I am 29 years old and began abusing opioid medications about seven years ago.  At my worst, I was taking up to 50 tabs of 10 mg Norco per day.  When my own prescription ran out, usually within 2 to 3 days, I would manipulate my elderly grandmother into giving me her entire month's prescription.  I would mix these drugs with Ativan and alcohol.  It's a miracle I didn't kill myself.  I have three small children that I wasn't capable of caring for properly and a husband that picked up all the slack.  I made the decision to quit and have been on Suboxone for almost a week.  This medication has been a life-saver.  No withdrawl symptoms, no cravings for pain pills.  This is saving my life.  A truly amazing medication."


"Had an elderly aunt that lost her appetite and was down to 82 pounds. Doctor told her if she loses anymore weight, she will need to be hospitalized. After 3 months, she is now up to 100lbs."


"This medicine worked extremely well to treat my anxiety disorder. It did not take long for the medicine to help me control the problems I was experiencing. I used 20mgs for about 4 and half years. The only thing that prevents this treatment from receiving a higher score are the side effects and withdrawal symptoms. The side effects I experienced were a definite decrease in sexual desire and a weight gain in my mid section. Personally I don't feel that any drug treatment is a permanent option, so when I decided to wean off of the drug I figured it would not have that great of an effect on me. Yet the withdrawal symptoms that I am currently experiencing are quite terrible. I am sure they will go away with time, but I could definitely do without."


"After using for 8 months, I developed an itching rash.  I could not stop itching and the rash got red and covered my torso, arms and legs."


"I've been taking wellbutrin 150 SR twice a day for 3 months now, I started with 150mg the first month and 300mg from the second month. It hasn't really helped me with depression like Prozac and Lexapro did. I told my doctor that I didn't want to gain weight like I did on those drugs so he prescribed me bupropion. I have more energy, I've lost weight, but the depression is still there."


"Diagnosed MS 2/2015; problems started 12/2014
1st Tecfidera:  @4-5 months, many side-effects, horrible flushing, medicine worse than MS, t-cells plummeted.
2nd Copaxone:  @ 2 months: hypothermia (one time very serious), and infections; @9 months, mammogram showed calcification.  Pre-filled needle is thick and painful; syringes are poorly made and slip, causing pain; big lumps at injection site.
3rd Wahl's protocal (level 1 w/supplements) and Radical Remission protocal:  All symptoms resolved, am better now than any time I can remember.  I look forward to MRI next month, will be about 1 1/2 months off meds at that time, and 11 months on Wahls & Radical Remission lifestyle."


"it pretty much ruined my skin. . ive been using epiduo for 5 months now and it worked amazing and my dermatologist told me if I used aczone in the morning my red marks would go away faster.  What it did was create more red marks and made it insanely dry and red and horrible. I was on aczone for 2 months before I gave up like last week and now it burns whenever I wash my face so I have to wait a while for this stuff to drain out of my system yeah don't recommend but maybe it's because i use epiduo"


"I received the depo shot in September 2015. I did bleed for the first month.. The following month I began spotting... I began having a full period in December 2015 It is now February 2016 & I am still bleeding... Nonstop!!!!! Help!!!!!!!"


"Felt better after first day, working on day 5 can't believe how super, great, wonderful, alert, and alive, I feel. After 27 years of fighting bi-polar disorder, I am amazed.  Hope it lasts. No side effects so far, hasn't helped my grammar or spelling.  Oh, taste? what taste?"


"I have been on Clonazepam 2mg twice daily for about 23 years. I have had partial seizures since age 14 after a serious head injury.  I was also on Dilantin, however I wanted children so after 10 years on Dilantin it was discontinued slowly and I remained on Clonazepam.  I have been seizure free for 22 years except for some myoclonus activity during sleep.  I have not had to increase my dosage and the only time I had a seizure was the two times my doctors tried to decrease my dose to see if I could come off.  Apparently, that is not in the cards. I have no side effects at this point in time, do not find it sedating.  I have always taken as prescribed and also maintain a healthy lifestyle."


"I had been on Haldol before which I am allergic to and it caused wasting away disease.  Invega was my last option and it helped fix what Haldol seemed to have ruined and took away a lot of the scary stuff I was dealing with like seeing people in my room.  The only thing is I am still hearing voices but they are mostly nice.  I am on 234mg a month."


"Saved my

Life. I went from level 10 pain daily to almost no pain after the first infusion. I cry when I talk about how this medication as given me a whole new lease on life. It has literally saved my life.

My pain was so bad in my wrists that I couldn't do anything anymore. I was seriously thinking about suicide or just cutting my hands off. I'm saved and I thank Remicade for it."


"Fluconazole works well for me. Pretty much zaps it out. I take it AS SOON possible, as I feel it coming on and see the first sign of white I take it. I get a YI about 1-3 x/year. Perhaps taking it promptly might be why it has worked well for me (?) I feel that it halts the infection process quickly (1day). Then gradually clears up by day 3-4. I like that it's just 1 pill, although instructions say to take 2nd pill a week later, I usually do not. It's very worth it; always keep extras at home just in case."


"I am a 42 year old woman, 5'0" and weigh 232lbs.  I am way too short to be this heavy. Severe depression over the years brought me to this weight.  Today is my first day on Aipex 37.5. I took 1/2 pill after having my morning smoothie.  I am doing Dr. Oz Day off Diet along with this.  So far so good I only felt a bit of a head rush but otherwise the energy is perfect. I'm giving myself until January of next year to complete my full weight loss of 107lbs. I will be walking everyday as well. I will check in with updates every Monday. Hope I can help folks here as well."


"I was originally prescribed Cipro to treat my prostatitis. After 6 days Cipro proved ineffective for the particular bacteria I had. Switched to SMZ-TMP in addition to Flomax and already feel relief on day 2. SMZ-TMP was free at my local Publix. I would have given it a 10 if I wasn't taking it in combination with Flomax (which is also having positive results)."


"I have been on Geodon for over 4 years now. Granted, it was tough to start this medication with excessive sleepiness, but I did not give up on it because my doctor really recommended it and we titrated up to 120 mg per day taken in 4 separate doses of 40 mg. Geodon is an integral part of my bipolar disorder regimen! It stabilizes me perfectly with lamotrigine and Wellbutrin XL. It's a miracle drug!"


"I was prescribed  Tramadol to take together with Paracetamol for my chronic nerve pain. At first when I tried it, taking just one 50mg tablet it did almost nothing for me so I didn't bother taking it. Then later I tried taking 100mg together with Paracetamol and found it really helped and also improved my sense of well being, relaxation and general happiness. I take them only when necessary, and feel wary about taking it every day, because I've read of serious addictions. I hope that taking it just three times a week will be fairly safe longer term."


"Seroquel 100mg saved my life. For 9 months I did not sleep because of an anxiety disorder.  I tried to kill myself three times.  Finally i was given Seroquel and 130mg trazadone. I have been sleeping well and not depressed for ten years. It has saved my life I am so grateful. Did put on 50lbs better that than being dead. Very grateful."


"I've had the skyla for almost a year. The insertion hurt really bad but it depends on your pain tolerance. I had it put in twice. The first time it hurt so bad and as soon as I stood up after it was inserted I was bleeding heavy, and it didn't stop for two months, and I got so fed up I pulled it out myself. Then I went back and got it back in (took Advil, didn't hurt as bad) and did not bleed at all which was super weird to me. But I haven't gone a day without spotting and it's so annoying. I don't even know when I'm having my period because I randomly bleed.  My bf felt it a few times and I had to get the string cut extra short and he still feels it sometimes, I'm getting tired of the bleeding and spotting.. Thinking of getting it remove"


"I started treatment for depression and anxiety in 2001 - Zoloft, which helped somewhat, and I continued for years until Cymbalta came along. I tried it and it was better than Zoloft. After a year on Cymbalta I started to find it to be too expensive.

I'm a writer, a starving writer, and $5 a dose was too dear. I asked my doctor if he could recommend something similar but cheaper. He put me on Celexa.

Wow - what a difference - Celexa was far more effective than either of the two meds I had  previously used- and dirt cheap!"


"I am a 64 yr old female.  I have been on Contrave for 9 days.  I have lost 8 pounds.  I have had few side effects, a slight headache and nausea.  I noticed a reduction in my cravings on day two.  I am a sweet nut.  I love to cook it and I love to eat it.  My worse craving is chocolate.  I want to loose a 100 lbs.  I spoke with my doctor about gastric bypass surgery.  She said she wanted to put me on Contrave; meanwhile, because it could take 6 months to a year with test and doctor's visits before having surgery.  I am on one pill in the morning and one at night.  I will be taking my evening dose earlier, because I am having a problem staying in bed.  My cravings are COMPETELY gone, even for chocolate.  Planning to continue on."


"At the suggestion of my OBGYN, for recurrent vaginal yeast infections that seemed to come 2 weeks after every single period for no reason. I decided to do the depo shot to keep my hormones high and potentially stop my period to hopefully end the yeast infections. I am rating this a 5. The yeast infections stopped, so it worked in that sense. However, the side effects are horrible! Weight gain, acne (always near the end of the 12 week mark when you're due for another shot ) and I'm talking cystic acne, horrible horrible acne. I'm 32 and my skin looks like I am going through puberty every time my shot is about to run out. I also get it on my back. Never before did I have that issue. Sex drive decreases. And, around the 12 weeks mark migraines"


"I was prescribed Effexor XR about 2 years after my mom passed away and it was the like the miracle drug for me.  Then about 9 months ago I received the generic substitute for Effexor (Venlafaxine) and I had this debilitating nausea and threw up every single time I took it.  Feeling this daily wiped me out and it caused problems for me at both of jobs.  I am highly upset about this change and want my EFFEXOR back.  I hear that I am not the only one this generic "substitute" has affected this way."


"Type 2 since 2008 and started on metformin with great results. Over the years the metformin has been progressively increased to the max dose to maintain my A1c at <7. Metformin has now lost its effect and my last A1c was 10.1. Doctor discontinued the metformin and started Januvia 100 mg and Glucotrol xl 2.5 mg, gradually increasing to 20 mg/day. Nothing! The new combo has had absolutely no effect on my blood glucose levels. My FBS are >170 every morning and 2 hr PP around 240! My next drug is the non-insulin injectable, Victoza. I so wish it could be different."


"This has been very effective in managing my symptoms of IBS-D. It helps with intestinal burning, gas, bloating and diarrhea, etc. I do still have to take Imodium at times. Side effects are not bothersome or have worn off.   I have been taking it regularly for years and if I forget to take a dose, my stomach (or intestines) remind me! It used to be very low cost which was great. Now it is getting more and more expensive. Medicare does not cover it. "


"I have been on this medication since I was 27. They diagnosed me with what you call a fluid tumor on my brain, which causes to much pressure on my brain which then causes migraine headaches, really bad ones. I lived with them from the age of 17 until they did a spinal tap and found out I had to much pressure. I have been on this medication ever since. I am now 51 years old."


"Hi,

I am 30 & suffering from high BP. I was not able to have sex with my wife & I did not get full erection or my erection did not last longer.

I took Manforce-50 one night; 3 hours after dinner & the results were amazing. The erection was rock strong. The only problem I felt was that I took long time in ejaculation. The erection went off after I ejaculated but whole night I felt erection now & then.

The effect of the tablet lasted for around 50-55 hours. There was not an erection all the time; but it came up very easily every time I wanted.

Don't use this tablet every now & then. but once a month you want to make good love with your partner..."


"Worked well at first. Now I get 200 plus readings when I wake up."


"what a relief....i can walk, bend, squat again. "


"Worked at first reducing need for insulin.  However, never lost any weight. Started to have terrible pain in joints and back. I think there is some temporary worsening as I have quit it now."


"Fast and effective."


"Blood pressure stayed high and head aches"


"I was on Lo Loestrin Fe for 4 months, during that time my hair started falling off, dramatically.I didn't get pregnant so it served its purpose but I had to stop taking it because I was literally going bald. I noticed hair loss is not noted as a side effect, but it's been 1 month since i stopped taking Lo Loestrin Fe and my hair has been growing back and it hasn't been falling off anymore."


"I started lithium nearly 2 years ago,  thyroid went almost instantly along with energy and about 10% of my hair.  Then followed by liver (they keep saying liver isn't affected but I never had a problem with my liver and had blood tests done 3 months before my lithium start). I have a huge personal event happen that shattered those around me but I am completely numb.  When you can't feel then you have to ask is it worth it."


"I took this medication for an entire year and I noticed NO change whatsoever. I had given up then one year later I noticed 2 of the 4 nails that were infected had grown into healthy nails. Hopefully the other two get the hint."


"After reading a lot of negative reviews I was nervous at first to start Kariva. I automatically thought it was going to be bad for me but I have not had one bad thing to say about Kariva. It cleared my skin a couple months after starting it along with preventing pregnancy. Other than that my sex drive, weight, moods and eating habits have all stayed the same. I think it really differs from person to person because I love it."


"I have been on Implanon for nearly two and a half years now.  I had been on the Depo before that for about five years.  My biggest concern was not getting my period because that was the whole reason I was originally put on birth control.  I essentially cannot function when I get my period and with the Implanon I have not gotten it once.  I gained a lot of weight on the Depo, but once on Implanon I lost 20lbs. Although I was exercising regularly as well.  The only negative side effect I've experienced is a lowered sex drive.  Other than that I love this birth control.  I think people just need to realize that different bodies respond differently to medications."


"I was prescribed this for asthma.  I suffer from really bad cedar fever which is a problem in Texas.  I am a rather slim female and at first my doctor gave me the regular adult dosage.  It was too strong.  I had heart palpitations and almost called 911 once after taking it.  I requested my doctor give me an adolescents strength dosage - which he did.  That worked much better.  It still is a very strong and it knocked me out, but I didn't have to worry about calling 911 or not waking up from it.  Asthma is tough to treat.  Medicine is necessary, but sometimes the meds are as bad as the disease.  My advice is to start with the lowest dosage your doctor thinks will work.  You can always take more if necessary."


"The pill  itself is fine..but the package is ridiculous. .the pills are too hard to get out of the package..i had to cut..poke with knive and scissors  etc..please make a more user friendly package  or just put in a bottle..having  arthritis  and less flexibility in my hands..it was impossible  to get the pill out in a solid piece....its most likely my only purchase  of slow fe unless i can find one in different  package"


"This was the worst thing I've ever taken. Within 15 minutes I started to get a cough. I got sicker from then on. Two hrs after dose I had a constant cough, pain in my chest, a fever, tremors and chills, muscle weakness, and a massive headache. I had to use the restroom and could hardly get there. On the way back to bed my legs just gave out under me. It took 12 hrs before my legs and arms worked right, about 14hrs for fever and It took 24 for my headache to subside. My chest is still sore. If I take a deep breath I will cough. I would not recommend this drug. My pharmacist and Drs office said that it sounds like I'm getting the flu because this drug doesn't do that. Read the side effects. It does it all!"


"Came down with my first YI at 26 weeks pregnant. Doctor prescribed me terconazole 0.4% cream for 7 days. Just took 2nd treatment and so far so good. Didn't have itching or burning before the cream so can't speak to it alleviating that, but it does seem to be flushing out the infection. I did get nauseous for a few hours after I used for the first night, but it's gone away now."


"I am 24 years old and have been on this pill for about a year and a half. I rarely have periods, my last one was about 6 months ago, and when I do have a period it is super light and only lasts about 3 days. I haven't experienced any cramping, mood swings, intermittent bleeding, etc. while on the pill. The biggest downside is definitely the effect on my sex drive--it is nonexistent since switching to this pill."


"I thought that this would clear up my face, (was hoping at least), and it didn't. I mean I break out just like I did before and it's annoying, however if you don't have acne and you want a good birth control I highly recommend this because it really does do it's job. My periods are always on time, and they aren't unbearable at all. I think I gained weight, but then it went away. So it didn't affect my acne, and I think it's a good birth control."


"I have chronic rhinitis. I was very ill last year, and my immune system hasn't been the same since. My immune system now reacts to everything around me, i.e. I'm allergic to all of my surroundings: dust, pollen, etc. Instead of the typical runny nose and sneezing, the inner membrane of my nose would swell almost completely shut. I was miserable. Accompanied by a nasal spray, Allegra D was the best thing that's ever been prescribed to me! Although at first I suffered severe insomnia, the side-effects became milder with time."


"Anxiety can really have a detrimental effect on ones life but it's just not taken seriously. Nor by the "pull yourself together brigade" or even to some GP's. 3 years ago I became seriously depressed and I visited 5 GP's before I felt I was being taken seriously. Anyway my point is I'm now much better mainly through Valium (3x5mg a day). Anxiety ruins peoples lives."


"I have been taking trazodone for over 7 years. Was prescribed for insomnia and as long as I take it, it's fantastic. Sleep like a baby. Takes about an hour for it to work and will cause nausea on an empty stomach. If I don't go to bed within an hour of taking this medicine, I will be staggering around running into walls, furniture, etc.  Tried many different sleep meds and this one was the only one that worked for me. I believe it has also provided benefits with treatment for depression and anxiety, although never formally diagnosed."


"I took Bydureon for a little over 4 months. The results were disastrous. My A1c went up over 2 points, I had constant hunger, I was tired more than normal. It was extremely expensive. I had Pea sized lumps and red spots at the injection sites. I felt like I got some bad advice."


"I was diagnosed with GAD and panic disorder three years ago. I have tried ever antidepressant out there. None ever gave me relief except for paxil. I truly credit paxil for saving my sanity, and stopping most of my panic attacks. Although I still have anxiety from time to time, it is nothing I can't manage. I've been taking 40 mgs of paxil for about 9 months. I finally feel like my normal self again."
