"I somehow got bit by a spider in my groin area a year ago. No idea what kind of spider it was except I had a really bad reaction to it which concerned me because most times things like that don't affect me much. I ended up going to the hospital and was prescribed Keflex 500mg 4 times/day for 10 days. I noticed improvements within a few days and it cleared up beautifully. I had no side effects whatsoever. Today I had to go see a doctor again about another bite with similar reactions. He also prescribed Keflex 500 for the same dosage and time period. I'm hoping for the same results as last time, but thinking of checking into some probiotics due to the stength of the prescription."


"Chronic Migraine sufferer, 2 to 3 a week.

Imitrex has been wonderful when I feel one coming on and

even when I have a full blown Migraine.

I am able to function normally within about a half hour."


"Horrendous.  I can't believe these people who say "don't listen, don't believe" all the horror stories, or "anxiety hype?"
Newsflash, people, different things affect different people differently.  No problem for you? GREAT!!!! Don't discount other people's perfectly legitimate comments.
I for one could not finish the first bottle, not even opening the second.  The first gulp was not too hard to keep down.  It got progressively worse with every sip or gulp.  Tried to dilute it more, no good.  Tried lemonade, no help.  I made it two thirds of the way through the first bottle, if that stuff ever touches my mouth again I will auto-vomit."


"Edex began to work this first time in about 5 minutes. I took 10 mg and it produced the best erection I could manage with a pump, with sildinafil, or any other way. Adding 10 mg more within 20 minutes improved the rigidity a bit, but the overall erection was probably at 80% of in my youth. I feel no burning, but I do feel what feels like a pressure in my prostate. I just got a TURP and still feel the effects of that surgery a bit, since it has been 6 weeks ago. This may just be what happens with my initial dose. If 20 mg doesn't work, I'll try doubling that. 20 mg would probably suffice for insertion during sex, but I doubt if if would feel good for me or her."


"BE PATIENT!! You're most likely reading these reviews either because you're thinking about taking the pill or you're scared out of your mind because you took the pill. I was scared out of my mind. My boyfriend and I had sex June 4th and I took it the next morning which was within 12 hours. I've taken the pill twice before because of the same reasoning, the condom broke. I didn't have any side effects to the pill the very first time I took it but the second time I got the worst stomach pains, headaches, and worst of all I felt nauseous. This was going on for two weeks and Today which is June 17th I finally got my period. The cramps hurt really bad and It's a pretty heavy flow when usually my period are light."


"Just when I thought that this birth control was working great.....Boy was I wrong. The first week I was feeling great, no side effects, no problems.....life was great. Then week 2 hit and everything went to hell. Now i'm bleeding uncontrollably. It's been 3 straight weeks. Guess what? I AM STILL BLEEDING! I have gained weight in my sides making me look like i've just consumed a bakers dozen donuts. I am emotionally unstable as you can tell from this review......!!!!! I am hungry all the time, I am eating everything I can get my meaty hands on and my snack supply has depleted by 2/3. My sex drive is GONE like a bird that hit the damn window. Unless you want your life to be turned upside down in a month like mine was....DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL!"


"The pill gave me aura migraines and mood swings and my period wasn't any better, in fact my cramps got worse, bleeding was still the same. I wanted to try the IUD but my doctor is an airhead and couldn't get it in, so I settled with the patch. I honestly couldn't tell if it was working the first couple of months because I had no side effects like nausea or headaches. And I was a little leery about hormones coming from a sticker you put on your skin...but 7 months later, no baby, so it must be working. I went off it for a month because my prescription refill got messed up and I went back on as soon as I got another box and I seriously could not tell the difference between having these on and not using any birth control at all. Loving it!"


"Have been on patch for over 16 years. First Ortho Evra; few years back Zulane generic brand. I had zero side effects, since the first use. I have tried the pill for a few months not good since I forget. The Ring that made me gain weight in a matter of 2 months so immediately got off that. Tried the pill again to get lower estrogen but again it is hard to remember to take it. So the patch it is for me.
All bodies are unique, we all react differently.  I am glad I was able to process this form of BC without any problems. I did try to get off BC for approx 6 months and my body didn't like it, I started to gain weight get bloated, so I attribute my weight control /hormone control to the patch!!"


"I've been on the Depo shot for years and decided to change to the Skyla. Since I haven't had a period in a few years the dr decided to go ahead and put the Skyla in. It was extremely painful guess due to the fact that I wasn't on my period when your cervix opens slightly. The dr had to give me an injection inside down there to open my cervix slightly but it was extremely painful. I recommend that if your on Depo and want Skyla, wait till you have your period."


"I've had the Nexplanon for about four months. It was annoying for a good month and a half almost two from constant bleeding and spotting. But after that I have not had a period. It's great, only now I sometime realize it gets itchy but than the urge to itch goes away. Would definitely recommend to others. If having the bleeding and spotting for long times I would hang in there. It gets better just have to wait it out."


"Began at 10 mg for 2 months with no improvement.  Upped to 20mg for 1 month.  No improvement.  Episodes of retching x2 with no vomiting; nausea daily; affect seem to be flat; ED worsened to point of complete inability to maintain an erection or achieve ejaculation.  Will discuss with Psychiatrist changing to something else.

Expensive even with insurance - $60.00 monthly."


"I started an abnormal cycle after a year of not having one. At first my cycle had came back on with a vengence and then it went to just spotting.  I thought yes it's about over but the spotting did not stop. It was well over a month so a co-worker introduced me to estrogen conjugated tablets. I started taking them for my hot flashes but little did I know that they would also stop the irregular vaginal spotting. But it took a week for it to get in my system and work."


"My psych had a very serious discussion with me about my 14 years on Ambien and even longer in Zolpidem. BOTH CAUSE ALZHEIMERS AND DEMENTIA. So I am now taking Belsomra with great success. 10mg to start and increased dose next week. My Klonopin was replaced by Lyrica. I fell asleep right away, no nightmares or symptoms and woke wide awake and cheerful."


"I have multiple health issues and am very anxious about them. Have been on and off Effexor 75mg twice now (going off when felt better) over 3 years and just started again with anxiety of upcoming surgeries. Going on I experience nausea and can only eat dry biscuits for about 2 weeks. Going off them 1st time no withdrawals...2nd time was suicidal as I stupidly went 'cold turkey' - not recommended.  Pupils dilated and some dizziness and sexual dysfunction (I think due to MS though) otherwise great. Day 4 now and already feeling less 'freaked out' about everything but complete loss of appetite this time  - not a bad thing after the summer indulgence. Have experienced insomnia this time which I had not previously. Female 37."


"My dad took it and he had heart palpitations, swelling, reddening ears and face, and chest tightening. He stopped taking it and switched back to his old medicines."


"Was on for 3 weeks, 10mg, until the nightmares and sleep got so bad I had to stop.  Was so bad I was having to take upwards of 1.5mg of Klonopin just to sleep and still didn't seem to help at all.  Seemed to help with anxiety but the affects on my sleep were counteracting any help it was having for the anxiety.  I've always had issues with my sleep but this definitely made them worse.  Seriously the nightmares were intense and strange.  Like dreams within dreams, gory sometimes, but almost always sad and frustrating.  Might be the ticket for others, but not me.  On lamictal now and seem to be doing much better (after 2 year trials of all kinds of SSRI's and SNRIs that only helped a little in some ways or totally messed me up)."


"I've taken this pill on and off for a year. I too had dry mouth and restlessness along with aggressiveness but I ran across a solution to rid myself from all of the above. I take Calm which is magnesium and is all natural. It is good for all of the above symptoms including constipation. I use the powder form and it states you can use as much as you like to get the desired results."


"I take 6 Percocet daily for back pain. 30ml of lactulose generally takes effect in 4 to 6 hours. At times it can produces diarrhea if I take more. At times I can skip a day as I am able to have bowel motion naturally. It doesn't adversely impact my blood sugar levels."


"Severe stomach pain and discomfort will never use again."


"I hate this birth control. I have gained excess weight, which never happened to me on any other b.c., and my PMDD is worse.

My doc gave it to me bc I get severe headaches the week before, of, and after my period. So basically 3 of 4 wks in a month. And I was having horrible mood swings. Extreme PMS...as I said PMDD. This was supposed to help bc of lower levels and regulating hormones.

Other than less severe headaches nothing has been lessened and I have gained 20lbs that won't go away. I am quitting this pill today."


"This is by far the worst pill prescribed for sleep! !! I felt anxious  irritable. ..heart was racing headache  and my blood pressure increased  along with abdominal discomfort and muscle pain. And if I I do fall asleep  it's for an hour or so  and I'm up for another hour and find it very  hard  to fall back to sleep . Never again !! this pill is not  for me!!!"


"Ativan is very good for anxiety. The trick is not to take it too often. I've found that I get used to dosages fast. I've also found that on the day following when I take it, I'm more tired, listless, and depressed. It's something to watch out for."


"I want to let everyone know about how I reacted to chantex.....DAY 7 AND 8 I am soooo tired i cant move nor have the desire to move. I am mad angry and confused  dont know why! I was getting sleeping and I told myself I needed to go to bed So I setup and I was already in bed! ( I thought I was at the computer desk studying!  it is 4 pm now and I have been asleep about 10 times since I woke up at 5am. All I want to do is sleep I am so tired I even dream ( in color) about being tired.  Thankfully this hit me on the weekend, tomorrow I have to work! Hopefully I will be able to move!

I dont worry about having cigarettes anymore I really dont have the fierceness I used to about " I GOT TO HAVE A SMOKE!!!!!!" I am just numb about it now"


"I had this inserted back in March of 2014 to help me with the struggle of my menses. Every month it was complicated and I dreaded when it was time for my period because I suffered emotionally and physically with it since I started having periods at thirteen. I was prescribed a birth control pill which affected me in a very negative way. The pill caused a blood clot in my head and I had to be on a blood thinner for a year. The struggle got more real for me at this point. So I was told to Never use birth control again that contains estrogen and it was recommended that I try the Nexplanon that's progesterone only. I must say that since I've had this in me, I haven't struggled as I had in the previous years. Down side/spot bleeding everyday since inserted."


"I'm a 20 year old female. I've always had mild acne, usually in the forehead, temple and chin areas. It was something makeup could always cover. About 8 months ago, I went on Skyla IUD. My periods were irregular and I started getting hormonal cystic acne. I had at least two bumps on my face on any given day. About 2 months ago, I went to my dermatologist with the problem and he prescribed me spironolactone. I noticed a different after two weeks of the medicine. Two months later I am 100% free of cystic acne, and other acne as well! I only get 1-2 small pimples around my period. The only side effect I have is constant urination, which on top of my chronic UTIs, is a little bit of a hassle. Therefore, I take it at bedtime if I need a bathroom"


"I knew the Modafinil was helping with my MDD. The benefits were hard to miss.

Even when I was in a bad bout of depression I could still work. That's never happened before.

What I didn't realise was that it was actually keeping my depression at bay.

I found out because the factory that makes all the 'Provigil' for my entire country shut down so I had to stop taking it.

My doctor has put me on a large dose of Ritalin and there is absolutely comparison. I am currently in the worst bout of depression I've had in ages. It's taking all I've got just to handle my immediate deadlines.

I am feeling the Modafinil's absence, acutely.

Other drug info:

I am also taking a combination of Welbutrin and St. John's Wort.

They work very well together."


"I have only used this one day and can already tell a difference in the redness of my acne and scars."


"I was never taken BC before but I would say that this particular one suit me quite well. Before I took it I had an extremely irregular cycle, where I could go two or three months without having a period. Also, I experience pain and fainted from it. This BC has helped me with those inconveniences; also I do not break out with pimples. I haven%u2019t tried another brand OF BC but seem to work just fine for me"


"I am taking this with Levemir and my sugar is controlled for the 1st time in ages.  I was supposed to be taking regular insulin but I am unable to be compliant so my doctor suggested this as something to try to bring my sugar down at least a little.  To my surprise it is working very well."


"I'm 49 years old and I started having panic attacks and anxiety again. It first started when I had a surgery to extract my thyroid many years ago. I tried other medications but Citalopram was the only one that made me feel good again. I have been taking 20 mg for  more than 2 years and the only side effect I have is dry mouth. Actually I do not even realize it. I can't imagine flying or staying in closed places without taking it."


"This pill is like a magic. I just noticed that the pill works in minutes for me and I feel a bit dizziness and like a burning head and then the pain is gone. Today I got a early migraine and I was able to use the MLT and work kind of slowly but it stopped the pain in time. But I still feel very sensitive to light. Great medication ask your doctor for Maxalt or Maxalt-MLT."


"I have been fairly recently diagnosed formally with Bipolar II (among a plethora of other things, including obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder, as well as Tourette's syndrome). I've previously been on antipsychotic medication, which I cannot emphasize enough on how negative my experience with this class of medicines has been. Abilify made my anxiety worse. Seroquel made me gain 20 pounds in 2 weeks. Geodon was cost prohibitive and amplified my anxiety. The only side effect I have complaints about is fairly severe dry mouth. I'd recommend a mouthwash that is for people with dry mouth if you opt to take this medicine. Otherwise, I have noticed nearly instant improvement in my symptoms with this."


"My doctor explained everything and I read a brochure before receiving the implant. It's a personal decision I made and when going into it I knew that every women reacts to it physically and mentally differently! I wish there was a way they could tell you how your body would react to it before hand but they can't lol! I recommend giving it a try but it's not for me , I had it removed 6 months in. The number one reason why was because I bled since the day I got it put In, and that is just NO way to live . I had happy moments and really angry moments on it , I started getting acne on my face which I'm not use to , my anxiety was off the roof and I gained at least 15 pounds which I didn't need considering I just had a baby at the time!"


"I have been using Aviane for a month and a half now and I see nothing wrong with it. It did not make me sick, I think I did notice a swing on my mood while I was having my period - not a serious one but I was more emotional, which I'm normally not. Hopefully it was just a bad week but other than that this pill did not affect my emotions towards more postive or negative. "


"This medication is easy to use and allows you to eat foods high in vitamin k."


"I love Adderall XR. It helps me get through the day and make the best of everyday."


"From day one, my mood immediately improved. I felt happier and more energized and started enjoying life again. The problem I have with this medication, however, is that about an hour or two after taking, I am overcome with extreme exhaustion and have to sleep immediately. I can afford this thanks to the discount card, making it around $30 a month."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"This is a revolting substance. Managed to down a litre in an hour and a half (started at 5pm is now 7.40pm) been on the loo since about 6.45pm it is certainly working. However I am DREADING taking the next litre at 8pm and wondering how I will make it downstairs to actually retrieve the solution! I threw up the last glass full I took. Surely there is a better way than this?!!! ☹"


"I have had asthma for some 20 years. Tried everything on the market. Was using rescue inhaler 10 times a day. Finally was put on Symbicort, and after one day was breathing easier. No coughing, wheezing, or tightness.
Only side effect that has bothered me is, severe muscle cramps in my sides. I'll take cramps over not breathing any day."


"I was told to take 100 mg at bedtime. WORTHLESS. I have to take benadryl x 4 and melatonin 40 IU and 800 mg naproxin to even start to get sleepy. My insurance will not pay for the one sleep aid that does help, Belsomera."


"My experience was awful!!!! I took this for an ear infection.  I have suffered with anxiety in the past.  Let me tell you after 2 days of taking this I was so anxious.  I stopped taking it and the next day I had to go to the Dr to get ativan for my anxiety.  It was awful like the worst anxiety ever. I am still having anxiety from this drug a week later.  It's an awful drug.  Don't take it!!!"


"This medication is the only medication on the market that has allowed me to live my normal life. I started taking it around twelve weeks pregnant because I was losing weight rapidly and couldn't even keep sips of water down. At first I had to take two at night and one in the morning to function. I am now fourteen weeks and have been getting by on only two a day. I tried not taking any at all today and I was great up until 9pm then I got so sick I threw my whole dinner up....unexpectedly. Immediately took two pills and now I feel much better. The only downside is how expensive this medication is. It cost me 186 per bottle of 100."


"After having had to take steroids for severe asthma all of my life I have been dealing with a very horrible side effects of psychosis on steroids. Unfortunately there are many people in the medical field he still do not know how to deal with that. I have learned to ask for Compazine and have been able to take small amounts to get back to a straight playing with my mental health and survive the hospitalization and the several weeks afterwards when I'm having to cut down the prednisones back to nothing. It has saved my life and has probably saved a few hospitalizations because a lot of people don't know how to deal with someone who says high doses of Cortizone make me psychotic. My long-term doctors know it but short term hospitalization Compazine saves me from all sorts of other issues that could come up that I've already dealt with in the last 64 years."


"I have been taking this medication for 2 months, the first month I suffered almost all of the side effects from loss of appetite, headaches, dizziness, loss of concentration, loss of sex drive and not sleeping.
2 month in and I find myself having episodes of feeling really angry and crying for no reason and to the point of not eating and just sleeping.
I am seeing a psychologist and am yet to discuss with them why I am still feeling depressed and now angry with or at myself."


"I've taken three plan B pills in my lifetime and after $150+ (!!!) spent on those pills I still got pregnant. Three times having intercourse, three pills, twins! Did not work for me at all. Miscarried one child before the 90 day marker. Too young to have even a single child but could not count on this product. Switching to alternative forms of birth control/prevention since this product did not work."


"I was prescribed Cheratussin AC for a cough due to acute bronchitis. However, it seems to make the cough worse. My body wants to cough up phlegm, and the medicine tries to suppress the coughing reflex. That makes my body try even harder to cough up phlegm, and just ends up giving me a headache and a throat that hurts more."


"Broke both my legs in a car crash. Shattered my right femur and broken right fibula. Dilaudid is the only when required medicine that really worked."


"I promised myself I will leave a feedback here if the pill works! Here I am, on the first day of my period! I would say this pill really made me emotional unstable. I freaked out, cried and worried a lot after I took the pill. So I started to look for more information online, and it didn't help at all. Do NOT search for more information! Just relax, try not to think about it and the pill will do its work!! I was so close to my ovulation day which is why I was so worried! I'm so happy the pill worked! Good luck everyone!"


"I am currently into my second month with Accutane. I first took it to get rid of a few really deep pimples on my back; my face was almost perfectly clear. After starting Accutane, however, my face broke out horrifically. It looked like I wasn't on any medicine or washing my face at all. I kept persisting, hoping that it would clear up, meanwhile my social confidence dropped a ton. I still find new, deep, cystic zits when I wake up in the morning, despite taking Accutane faithfully, exactly to my dermatologist's instructions. I finally decided about 2 weeks ago to use a salicylic acid scrub along with Accutane, and that has seemed to help a lot. However my back is still developing deep zits. I just hope in the end that Accutane will start working."


"I've been researching a lot about Victoza/Saxenda before I asked my doctor for a Rx. The reviews about side effects on this site really scared me, but I was determined, so I started using Victoza last week.

I have not have any negative side effects!

Starting at 0.6 mg I am slowly increasing the dose (on a weekly basis) to max 3 mg per day. Time will tell if side effects increase with a higher dose but what I've read so far rather says "if you get through the first 2 weeks you'll be fine".

From the first day on I could feel how I needed less food to feel full. Smaller portions. No cravings for junk, rather for healthy foods.

Oh and the needle doesn't hurt one bit! I literally can't feel it!"


"I had rash due to an allergic reaction to prescibed medication that was so aggressive I was covered head to toe in 35 hours. First trip to ER netted me prednisone, Benadryl and Zantac which helped with the swelling but not the crazy itching! After another 40 hours of trying not to scratch I went back to ER because the rash was still spreading and I was needing a straight jacket for the itch. New antihistamine prescribed and told to get some Calamine lotion. The pink stuff from when you were a kid? Yep.

In the car and slathering pink all over my arms and I am finally getting a little relief. Begged Mom to rub it on my back. THE RELIEF!!!

The new pill helped too but I will never underestimate the power of the pink stuff. $6. Thank you GOD."


"53 Feeling human again  ....no bleeding , breast have settled down after 3 months energy level amazing ... No hot flashes what so ever ... Weight gain now gone after 3 months .... Found it brilliant with my combination of vitamins ! Vitamin b . Krill oil . Vitamin c , magnesium , and several others ..also exercise is so important . Just keep your regular check ups with your doctor .....cheers and enjoy life xxxx"


"Have leg pain from a pinched nerve and it's not helping much. I also have nausea, headaches and dry mouth from it. One Benadryl usually knocks me out so I would think this would work better but it doesn't."


"Be aware take this medication and immediately lay down !!!!!the first night I took this medication I was up apparently I don't remember !!!!so I was told, serving myself a shot ,eating, requested weird sexual favors,and was having conversations and answering myself,and had no memory of all these fun festivies the next day,lol,thanks ambien,lesson learned my boyfriend had a blast though!!!!!!!"


"I had acne vulgaris since 4 years..  I consult with my doctor  and he provided  me clindamic  with benzoyl peroxide  but  it's not totally cure yet  what should I do..  please help me"


"I have been using this medication to treat severe pain in my feet that radiates up my legs, associated with Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. As one who is not a fan of narcotics and how they make me feel totally drugged and out of it, this medication is completely free of side effects and adverse reactions when I have taken it. I'm even able to drive, work and accomplish my daily acts of living without any impairment or restriction due to this medication. Lastly, this medication has allowed me to continue to work on my feet (OR RN) while I use several modalities to treat my condition."


"Initial euphoric effects wore off so dosage was increased. Was told would treat nerve pain and  later told good for anxiety. My anxiety got worse on med as when it was due or late I was ill, it has addictive qualities I do not like.  My health took a nose dive on this and I had to come off due to blurred vision, weight gain, blocked bowel.  My Doctor advised decreasing of 75mg a week.  My first drop was hell completely threw me into panic as I felt so ill, no one explained withdrawal when I saw medics in a state no one comforted me saying it could be the reduction too high/quick for me, after all in hindsight if I felt unwell late taking one dose then dropping 75mg wouldn't be helpful quickly, lower doses not easy to get as more costly to NHS etc"


"I'm 23 years old. Have been constipated my entire life.. but didn't really realize it wasn't normal until the past couple years. I started Linzess about 3 weeks ago. The first 2 days I HATED it. I felt like I needed to be near a bathroom at all times.. my body then started to regulate it after the first week. I take it 30 min before my protein shake every morning and get my relief before I head into work. Some days it affect me more than others.. but i go at least once a day now. The only downside of it is I have to plan my first part of the morning around taking this medicine.. but it's better than walking around with a bloated belly and brick in my stomach all day!"


"After taking Lialda for 2 years my hair is very thin. It has not controlled me from going to the bathroom alot. I started noticing besides my hair getting thin, having severe headaches. had to have a blood transfusion and my urine started getting darker and darker. The the straw that broke the camel's back was my tongue and lips swelled and I had hives all over they were so severe that I didn't get any sleep they caused me to have blisters. After 3 trips to the ER they finally found something to help the hives. I haven't eaten a full meal in over a year do to the fact that my mouth and lips were so swore and painful to eat. When all the side affects started piling up I just quit taking it and call my gasteronolist and will see him in 2 weeks"


"I've always had trouble falling asleep and making my brain "turn off" even if I am exhausted. I have used lots of OTC sleep medicines but they just weren't cutting it anymore with some added stress in my life currently. Finally broke down and went to doctor for sleeping pills. Was a little scared at first because even without any sleep aids when I do sleep I have been known to sleep walk/talk in sleep/etc.  Normally hard for me to fall asleep but once I'm out I am out cold and don't wake up. Anyway. No need in worrying about the side effects for me because I did not get a wink of sleep the first night I took it. Tonight is night #2 and I took it at 9:30. It is now 1 am and still here wide awake. Useless."


"My doctor has increased the dose several times but I still do not feel that it has made me feel totally better."


"I've been on this medication for several months. There has been a definite change in my depression and mood. I don't feel as sad and upset or anxious but I don't feel as good as before I was depressed. Still hoping for the old me! But I'm at least on my way, closer than ever before."


"I can say without reservation that this works. Start weight 246 lbs 5"9 and end weight 202lbs so far in five months. It takes time and I work out as best I can but my goal will be accomplished in one year.
I find my appetite is easily managed as far as sweets, salty snacks etc. My appetite is fine as things taste good but no binges. Had a headache and now drink probably what I should have been doing all along. I consider this Belviq a nice aid to helping me with weight loss success. "


"I have had extremely positive effects from this drug, but I do have to take Prozac with it as it causes mood swings or depression with me."


"I took Chantix according to the directions for 1 month and I have been smoke free for over a year.  Not only did Chantix help me quit, but I have not had any desire to smoke again.   Chantix is amazing.  I tried quitting with the patch, gum, nicotine inhaler, hypnosis, will power, and Zyban (Wellbutrin) and NOTHING ever worked for more then a month or two.  I would recommend Chantix to EVERYONE and ANYONE who is serious about quitting.  IT WORKS!"


"I have been on Simponi since five years ago. The medicine has been a miracle. I did notice the effect only after one or two weeks. After five years I have started to have increased pain and I think the effect of the medicine is loosing. However, Simponi has changed my life completely. From hard attacked by Bekterew, I have now been running and cycling (100 km) competition for many years."


"I've been taking selegiline (Emsam) for depression for three years after 40  of pretty much everything else. This has been the most effective treatment I've had, lasting the longest with the best results. Side effects have been limited to skin irritation from the patch. The dietary restrictions aren't proving to be too restrictive. On a couple of occasions, I've had food with tyramine by accident. A bad headache for a few hours was the only result. (I didn't realize that I'd had the tyramine until after the headache had come and gone.)
The price and need for prior authorization are my only real complaints."


"I have fibromyalgia with chronic fatigue syndrome, degenerative disc disease, a bulging disc in my lower back with arthritis of the face joints and in my hands. I hurt my back June 2010 and it is like everything that caused me pain started to feed off one another and my back was the last straw. I'm going to the chiropractor every 2 weeks. I had 3 epidurals in the space of about 3-4 months with no relief. I swapped pain management doctors and am now on 15mg of oxycodone every 6 hours, 4mg Zanaflex every 8 hours, 500mg of Naproxen every 12 hours, 40mg Celexa once a day and 600mg of Neurontin every 8 hours just to sort of be able to function. Was given a sample of Voltaren today and used it on my hands and back. Amazing! The pain is greatly diminished. Can't wait to try more."


"I was given this post breast- cyst biopsy. It has not in the least helped my severe pain. My doctor now wants me to take Dilaudid and motrin 800 hopefully I will get some relief."


"I've been using Humalog for 15 years or so. I've never had a problem with it. I use an insulin pump and it works well with my basal dose."


"I have had liletta for almost 3 months now and I'm loving it.  I was nervous to get it put in because I have a low pain tolerance and it did hurt a lot for about a minute when they were positioning it.  The planned parenthood nurses were very nice and let me lay down for about 15 minutes after the procedure and then I took the bus home.  For about an hour after I had horrible cramps, but then I had period-like cramps for the rest of the day.  Since I had a week left on my pill pack, they told me to finish it because liletta isn't 100% effective until 5 days later.  After I finished the birth control pills, I had my period for 8 days, which is about twice as long as it usually is.  But my next period was only 3 days and very light"


"This medicine works very well for me.  I highly recommend it, as it dramatically reduces the amount of acid in my stomach after a gastric ulcer bleed, which after being repaired, I do NOT want to experience that pain again."


"I have been using the shot for 7 years now and I love it. I don't have to worry about a period. I have not experienced any change in sex drive nor have I experienced any negative side effects. I would recommend Depo."


"Woke up Thursday  and my throat hurt, by end of the day it was on fire and I had chills, sweats, fever and coughing.  Friday felt like I was hit by a bus.  Sweat all night with intermittent chills.  Couldn't swallow anything.  Nothing otc was working.  Went to my DR apt.  Dr prescribed tamiflu without hesitation because apparently when your pregnant you can get  sick  fast  (no kidding).   Took it Friday night and Saturday morning thus far no relief of anything.  Throat is still on fire can't swallow anything only thing that helps are hot liquids.  Stuffed up nose cough, mucous, chills, fever, sweats, body aches, yup have it all still.  Meds are the grossest tasting I have ever had was told to open capsule and place in food like pudding... almost vomit everytime."


"I went to dermatologist because of some minor adult acne on my chin and was prescribed minocycline 100mg one a day. Well come Nov 1 will be 1 month in, and the very couple of acne I had on my chin has tripled plus I now have it on my cheeks, which I never had a problem before. Plus I have had some side effects as well, including dizziness, nauseas and yeast infection. It was prescribed to me for 3 months. I will stick with it for another 2 mths and see what happens. As of right now I am disappointed, but am hoping to see positive results in next 2 mths."


"I have used duac for 6 months my skin was clear as day using it daily. Now I’ve had an allergic reaction I can’t use it anymore and acne is straight back to how it was. Not a cure but amazing product if used daily - takes about 1 month to kick in and wok"


"I am 33 years old and 5'3 and weigh a whopping 300 pounds.  I went on phentermine because I wanted help with portion control and weight obviously, and started on 10/20/16. I had started taking Phentermine 15mg capsule once a day for a week, then I started the 37.5 mg capsule once a day till current.  When I started on the 15 mg capsule it was great! No major concerns, just dry mouth. Now I am on 37.5 and I have major dry mouth and tingling fingers and lips. I chose to still take it.  As of 10/27/16 I got weighed and I now weigh 291.  I lost 9 pounds in a week. Yay, its working.  I am only eating right but not exercising. I highly recommend it!  I only am giving it 9 stars because of the dry mouth and tingling fingers and lips.  Good luck"


"An excellent pain reliever. I did experience a few side effects though. I became irritable and would sometimes hear sounds I wasn't sure of. This drug has a high risk of dependency, but it can be controlled. To me, the side effects are worth it due to the great pain relief it provides."


"I am a 17 year old, very petite. I started out with my first birth control Yaz. VERY bad experience, I was sick for a whole week straight with heavy bleeding and nausea. Then I switched to this and it's been great! I'm on my 3rd pack and my only complaint is that I had really heavy bleeding last month and cramps :/ but other than that no side effects at all, and my breasts got bigger. Hopefully this month will be light if anything! I have a few friends who are thin like me who love Lo Loestrin Fe."


"Roughly one year now and methotrexate has been working miracles.  I started at 10 mg/week and eventually moved up to 12.5 mg/week.  From the outset I was tapering off of 10 mg/day of prednisone but could not completely eliminate it until I moved the methotrexate up to 12.5 mg/week.  Per doctors recommendation I'm also taking 5,000 mg of vitamin D daily and 1,000 mg of calcium daily (I don't eat much dairy).   Side effects:  None, except that I sometimes take a short nap after dinner on "methotrexate day" (I take it after lunch so as not to interfere with my pre-dinner martini(s)).

Without methotrexate I could barely walk!"


"I take Percocet for moderate pain, because I had liver transplant. Only problem is there may be minor danger to other organs, but with a proper dosage I will be just fine ."


"I have been on Contrave for a month and a half now, and I am down 23 Lbs.  I would always enjoy a cocktail or two when I came home from work and felt like I needed it to unwind, but this has totally changed that feeling.  I don't have a desire to drink, and my appetite is definitely decreased.  This morning I was down at 216.  Two minor side effects I have experienced.  1. I get a feeling of nausea which discourages me from eating, and 2.  I have been getting head aches all day.  Both well worth the results!"


"I was having a blast with a manic episode, then the deepest depressive episode set in, and Seroquel is the only medicine that stopped it."


"Zomig is a miracle for me.  The only drawback is my insurance only will pay for 12 tablets a month and sometimes I need more."


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"I started on Florinef a few weeks ago. I'm noticeably doing better but not quite able to fully function like before. I have good days and bad days. I started on 0.2mg. Going to see if I can increase and if that will help. I'd like to be able to go back to work."


"I have been dealing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) for over 12 years. I am a 31 year old male who is in overall athletic shape. It is important to note that my mother has Fibromyalgia and it is quite possible that I have it and not CFS. My CFS diagnosis was after a bout of chronic Mono in my 20's. I have tried many anti-depressants over the years because a common effect with the chronic fatigue has been depression. I was prescribe Prestiq 4 weeks ago and I feel normal again. My energy level is much, much better. My mood has improved drastically. My energy level still is not what it was before Mono but the improvement has been great. My only side effect has been a slight decrease in sex drive and a harder time reaching orgasism."


"I was prescribed this for my acne along with several other creams and within a month my mild acne problem was cleared up, but if I stopped taking the pills completely I would break out so instead I slowly went off the medicines and now I'm taking one every other day and have clear skin. This medicine works wonders."


"I was prescribed this for mild anxiety after I was in a car accident and the headaches I got as a result. I took ONE 20 mg at night and woke up four hours later with the most horrible panic attack (that's what the doctor said). I've never had that happen in my life. My heart was racing and pounding, I would get hot then cold and back again, I was shaking so bad I could hardly type. I wanted to cry but couldn't, scream or something. I felt like all of a sudden I had a different personality. My heart raced for 4 days after that. I never took another after that first one. I've been having heart pounding sensations for days in the last three weeks since taking the Cymbalta. "


"I have been taking Effexor 150mg for about 5 months now. When starting this medication, I had a lot of side effects including insomnia, nausea, and severely dry mouth and very low sex drive. That went away after a couple weeks, but my anxiety hasn't been controlled as well as I'd like. I've had a couple of panic attacks and a lot of general anxiety (some situational and some not). I would probably like to consider switching to some other medication but I am scared to because of the horror stories of withdrawl symptoms.  I was previously taking Celexa for 10 years which never worked the same once I restarted it after having a baby."


"Healed my severe eczema in days!"


"I'm taking Flagyl for what I guess is a bacterial infection but I've been taking it for a few days possibly even a week and I cant really tell a difference, all I know is that I have an inflamed colon and I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy in December, I'm taking 500mg three times a day for 14 days and sometimes I do miss a dose every now and again, could this be why I haven't noticed much change?? and I haven't experienced any side effects aside from feeling a little tired because i always take it after a meal, the only thing i have to complain about it is that its uncoated so it tastes pretty bad but if you just take a mouthful of drink first then drop the pill in it really helps with the taste. btw im only 17 years old"


"Ive been taking it for a year now, works great for me. I can only do the pill because my body reacts so strangly to most but this has cause no problems for me. My mood is normal, weight is the same. I'd tell others to give it a chance"


"I would never in my life take this again. The pain agony sweats light headed was horrific. I feel sorry for the person who takes this if they experience what I did."


"I have had insomnia for over 20 years.  It had caused my overall health to decline, including chronic migraines, and depression. I have tried several medications but nothing worked.  Other medicines would either make me anxious, groggy during the day, or have no affect.  Finally, six years ago I was prescribed Klonopin.  It was a miracle, finally I felt rested and happy.  I was no longer tired, anxious or depressed.  It also helped with my migraines and seizures.   I know many people worry about staying on it long term, but to me the benefits out way any side effects (none found).  To me, I'd rather take Klonopin the rest of my life, just like those who take aspirins daily for their heart, because it allows me to live a happy, productive life."


"Awful! Felt like the inside of my vag was burning and itching instantly. An absolutely horrid feeling!! Had to shower and try and wash it outta there. My vag is clearly angry with it and now I'm pissed I spent $19!!!!!"


"Zoloft really does work. I take 50 mg right now and have been on it for about 5 weeks and my social anxiety and depression are almost completely gone. And now I feel happy.  My only side effect is occasionally my jaw trembles."


"I was hurt at work 4 years ago, had 5 surgeries then a spinal stimulator placed. I have been on methadone for 4 years and roxicodone for break through pain, I believe its a lot better then taking a bunch of pain killers that aren't going to work in the long run. Methadone has given me some of my life back, not enough that I can go back to work, that is my ultimate goal."


"I am an older adult who started taking vyanese about three months ago. I had been feeling tired and had a hard time focusing on work. At night I would come home and did not feel like talking with my family. I didn't like interacting with people at work. This had been going on and developing for quite some time. (Over the course of about 10 years) i talked to my regular doctor and nothing, psychologists were worthless. After seeing a psychiatrist he prescribed me 30 mg of vyanese to take in the morning. What a difference this drug has made for me, able to focus, function better socially and just feel better. I'm 62."


"I have had no side effects after 14 yrs. In the past 4 yrs. I slowly cut back to 4 15mgs a week. Now I can eat or drink anything I like."


"I have been taking sertraline for quite some time now (over a year) 100mg. Pros have been that I have been a lot calmer, not having panic attacks and less weepy and anxious. Unfortunately there have been some side effects which wont go away - I suffer from headaches a lot, extreme tiredness (am tired all the time - despite having 8  hrs sleep, etc.), I have no desire for sex and I have gained weight (though suspect the weight gain is more down to the tiredness and me attempting to get energy through food). On the whole though I'm happy with it."


"I've been on lo loestrin fe for 5 years, started when I was 16. If I remember correctly, the first 6 months (give or take) I had my period two weeks on, two weeks off. But my periods had always been irregular. By age 17, I stopped getting my period! Haven't had any bleeding I'm 4 great years, haha. My blood pressure is sometimes high, but not enough for serious concern. This is the only bc I've been on and I have no complaints."


"Used free sample. Will get some next time I get impetigo in the same recurring spot I have had it my whole life. Altabax worked better than any other antibiotic cream I've tried."


"I got this birth control about 6 months ago and have nothing but good things to say. It is the easiest, most convenient birth control I have ever had. I experienced a little acne in the beginning but this is normal when you change the hormones in your body. After time, the acne cleared up. My periods are non existent besides spotting, which is different for everyone on this medication. Overall, I recommend it! I am protected and sometimes ever forget it's there."


"My radiologist,  has me using norvasc off label use for presbyesophagus or diffuse spasm in elderly, but Ca   channel blocker makes sense esp. since there is no other pharmacologic therapy other than botox injection by endoscope."


"Before I started this medicine I was so worried because of all the reviews about bad side effects. I can honestly say I did not have a bad experience at all. I was on 500mg twice a day for 7 days. The 2nd day I was on it, I had very slight nausea in the evening but I started watching T.V and when the show was over my nausea was gone. The 3rd day, I had some wine and I was on my 2nd glass when I remembered I'm not supposed to drink while on Flagyl. I just finished my last dose & haven't experienced anymore nausea or anything. I've been lethargic the last 2 days but that may be due to getting my period. Not everyone has a bad reaction!"


"I have officially never been so stressed out in my life. I took Plan B within 10 hours of unprotected sex. A couple days went by and I felt nothing. On the 5th day I had really weird cramps on my right side under my hip bone which lasted for about 3 days. Then I got really weird brown discharge. Then I started spotting a little bit. On the 10th day I felt so nauseated they had to send me home at work. I ended up throwing up and then got my period 30 minutes later. Needless to say the pill did work, but I hope to never have to take it again."


"I've been on many birth controls trying to find the right one for me. I was on Apri a couple years ago which gave me very bad anxiety so after that I switched to Tri-Sprintec. This pill didn't cause any anxiety but my skin broke out so terribly on it! My third and final switch was to "Yaz", at the pharmacy I was handed the generic Gianvi. I spent hours reading reviews and was a little nervous to start taking these pills but they have been great. My skin has completely cleared up, I never break out at all anymore. I had no mood changes or anxiety, nor weight gain. This pill is sensitive with regards to breakthrough bleeding, if just one pill is missed you can expect spotting the next day. Otherwise an AWESOME pill! Highly recommend!"


"Have been having every day adrenaline in chest with heavy feeling, diagnosed with anxiety after 8 trips to ER. Started Zoloft but it made my anxiety ten times worse. I now take 0.5mg of Ativan as needed, it helps get through the day. I am usually dizzy on most days and have a heaviness in chest."


"Severe UC flare hospitalized, prednisone intravenous didn't do anything. Remicade infusions every 4 weeks to start, now every 8. It worked within one week and after about one year I was in complete remission with no sign of UC on my colonoscopy! The IV is okay, very expensive, but you can go to the Remicade website for help paying deductibles no matter what your financial situation is. I wish my dr told me that before I spent $10,000 in deductible and copay this year! I guess it was worth it all around."


"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 have had the Implanon for about a year and a half. The first year my period went crazy but I knew it was normal. Now I haven't had a period and I love it! I have however gained weight, had a lot of cravings but have not lost my sex drive or suffered from any severe side effects. The Implanon is great because if you are in a stable relationship. "


"I have been using Chantix for 2 months.  I have stopped smoking and have had no ill-effects.  However, I will not be buying the 3rd month supply as I find your packaging incredibly difficult to open!  I have arthritis and pushing out the pills through the heavy cardboard is almost impossible for me.  I wish you would re-think your packaging as I am afraid that I might begin to smoke again if I don't complete at least the 3-month program."


"New to Contrave.  Past my first week, lost 2 lbs.  I did not change my eating habits but was very sleepy.  I can also say I love to drink wine (probably why the weight) and I tried it during week one and the next day had a headache so bad I thought my brain would explode.  Therefore guess what....I am not drinking wine.  It wasn't even hard to quit.  I am in week 2 and increased dosage.  Next warning high fatty foods.  I had a McDonalds cheeseburger and yes in fifteen minutes was in the bathroom wishing for death.  Again guess what no more fatty foods and again not hard to give up.  Its like you think about it but then go eh...nahhh not right now.  I think that makes you feel like you can have it later but you never actually do."


"The Wellbutrin XL gave me severe constipation and headaches, but the SR is working well. I have only been on it for 2 weeks and I notice a improvement in my moods, daily sleepiness and it has NOT decreased my sex drive. Prozac worked well for me also, but it just killed the sex drive and at my age that wasn't acceptable. (38). I feel myself eating less and hopefully it may lead to a few pounds weight loss."


"This medication is fantastic.  I was suffering from some major anxiety for years and this has taken a huge burden off me.  There are still an occasional surge of anxiety but its an anomaly now where it used to be the norm for me. For those bad times I'll take Ativan and the combination between the two work awesome.  I only take about 4 Ativan a month,  the rest of the time Lexapro does the job. And I sleep SO much better."


"Dexilant caused diarrhea / IBS / Dairy allergy- I was prescribed it for severe heartburn /hiatus hernia/ stomach inflam. and it helped a lot.  I stopped taking dexilant 10 months ago due to severe diarrhea, cramps,nausea, bile, waking in middle of night with cramps and 1/2 hour painfull diarrhea / constipation combo /awfull cramps, gas- what I've read on this thread I'm not alone. I hate to tell those who  recently started this that  have had these issues with dexilant and  10 months off this poison and I'm still suffering. I now have a dairy allergy, only after removing dairy from my diet are my severe symptoms relieved. I eat any dairy and I'm sick again for 2-3 days. Existing IBS is worse than before, now a daily struggle. "


"Helps to maintain lower blood sugar after meals and also helps to curb my appetite."


"My husband has a disc bulge in his neck and osteoarthritis in his neck. He suffers from daily chronic pain and severe migraines ranging from a 3 to a 10 . With 10 being the worst. He has taken opiates, NSAIDs, anti depressants, anti convulsants, topical cream, done physio massage botox trigger point ims  chiro..... this has been going on for years. Yesterday he started on 50mg prednisone (3 days) and his pain was down to a 2 last night. Today he is like a totally different man, skipping and smiling, getting ready for work (this never happens as he dreads work because of the pain and misses at least one day a week). I asked him where his pain was (scale of 1-10) as is our normal routine in the morning. He looked at me and said  zero."


"Honestly I was scared like every other girl is, and this pill actually does work. Worth all of the money. The symptoms I had after taking plan b (I took plan babout 30 min after unprotected sex) is my increase in appetite, I also had to pee a lot. But my period did not come late, it actually came 4 days earlier. I am so relieved to not be pregnant, I recommend this product 100% but the sooner the better! Also, stop reading online girls, it'll just scare you more. My boyfriend came inside me a little bit without a condom and I was sure I was pregnant but after taking this, I'm most definitely not."


"Has worked real well at controlling my arthritis. Some elevation in blood pressure noticed after 10 years of use."


"I'm sure this would be great for someone else, but I've tried four different pills and this one was by far the worst. I gained a lot of weight and got the worst acne I've ever had in my life (never even had acne like that as a teenager). My period was nearly gone, which was nice, but also made me feel like I was certainly pregnant for the first couple months combined with the other side effects listed."


"I haven't had too many issues on this birth control and have been on it for around six months. I have not experienced mood swings unless about to start my period. The only experience with nausea and this pill are when I have taken it mid day and eat absolutely nothing. So far, I have not gotten pregnant, and my severe back acne has completely cleared up. Overall, I recommend this pill."


"I started this 2 weeks ago started at 5mg and then moved to 10mg. I have had no side effects I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I still don't know how it will work. It's been to short of time to tell thats - why I gave it a 9. I'm coming off pristiq while taking this and that is hellish the brain zaps etc. I'm hoping if I up this dose it may help with the zaps etc. I always wanna ask people on here more about their experiences"


"Me again! I am now completing my second week of Victoza. My blood sugars are down around 102 after being at 200-250 most of the time! Amazing! I have had some nausea side effects though. I can barely eat, it's work to put anything into my mouth and I am a huge foodie. Love to think about, look at and eat food but I just can't do it. It's really weird. I have lost 4 pounds from when I started this medicine and I can tell I will lose more because it is a struggle to eat. There have been 2 days that I have had to go home from work, though. Those 2 days all I could do was sleep and I just felt miserable. Yesterday was one of those days and I had a horrible headache that wouldn't go away with Advil. I'll report again in a few weeks!"


"I had a ganglion cyst removed a year ago. I began to have pain in my wrist from inflammed scar tissue. The gel has helped tremendously with the pain. Some days I don't even need to wear my wrist brace anymore.

Just wish it wasn't so expensive. Even with my health insurance the prescription was pretty expensive."


"Using Victoza for about 5 weeks, I feel a whole lot better generally, with stable blood glucose.

With regard to food, I eat smaller, choose better/more balanced food, I have lost around 10kg in total in this time and this alone has made a huge difference. I also consume pre/probiotics daily now and this helped with the GI disturbances.

As for side effects, I had nausea, dizzy spells, gut ache/cramps, reflux, felt rather tired in the first 2 weeks. All dissipated in the first 4 weeks. At the time I told myself I prefer to feel like this in the short term than head into a future potentially suffering from the plethora of illness brought about by Type 2 Diabetes.

It works for me. Give it a chance."


"This medicine works and has cleared my skin. I have been taking it for 3 weeks and have had very bad mood swings, I have had similar symptoms from when I used to be on birth control. It also makes my joints very weak and my appetite has changed."


"I've been on it two years it has been wonderful for me the only downside is the tolerence I've buliding up my doctor put me on Lunesta last night and I do not like it it did not work it makes me feel like garbage all day I want is to go back to my Ambien already!"


"I used makena during my pregnancy and also had a cervical stitch put in at 17 weeks had a healthy baby girl would totally recommend it to any one in a high risk pregnancy☺. Just wondering if any one else who has used the injection experienced irregular period's lasting a lot longer than you had anticipated?"


"I had it before , but this is the first time I used this medication , I can honestly say when I inserted into my vagina it burned and I went to my phone to do some research to see if it normal after awhile it gets better , I hope it works"


"Brilliant drug.  I like it so much better than Cipro.  Worked fast, no problems at all.  I hope to use it again if there is another UTI.  I feel like my old self again, and there are a few left to take."


"I am suffering from depression and SAD + ADHD.  On Concerta now and it makes an amazing impact on my depression - I had no idea that would happen.  I don't know if it's common but I'm very pleased!"


"I have to have scopes yearly, so I've tried several different types of preps. After trying Prepopik, I will never use anything else! It's the only thing that doesn't make me nauseous and also not having do drink much of it to get the job done is awesome! I will say that you have to make sure that the solution gets warm before drinking it, or it won't work as well. I think the frustration comes from people not reading the directions. :) Prepopik is amazing!"


"Been on generic adipex for 1 month. Start weight 183. Current weight 171. Drink lots of water on this. Dehydration can cause headaches ( get migraines already so this did not increase due to the medication). First day i was nauseous. first week was extreme dry mouth and complete lack of appetite. I had to remind myself to eat during the first week. At some point during the second week i was feeling a bit hungry but not the constant hunger i experienced before. As of the end of the first month the only persisting side effect if the dry mouth. I'm also not sleeping very well! but I just take tylenol pm for that. overall i feel good. i'm losing weight. im less hungry so i'm selecting better food choices. (chocoholic lol) and no serious issues."


"GENTLEMEN, YOU HAVE TO SHRINK YOUR PROSTATE!!! I've used Rapaflo for abouts 6 months now. Stops my urethra infections and gives strong stream. Take it in combination with Avodart. I couldn't grip my penis good to pee straight, it was so small from lack of blood flow! Yes, there was retrograde ejaculation. However, you want to win the war (Reduced prostate size and maintenance) not a battle. I'm 60% better than I was. "


"Started Lexapro (Escitalopram) 10 mg taken at 8:00am  2 wks ago for anxiety and mild agoraphobia due to worry over having an anxiety attack-a tsunami of nervousness would overwhelm me and make me fearful and filled with unease. I was always worried about why this was happening to me out of nowhere. And I avoided going to places I once enjoyed. After day 12 a switch flipped.  I felt myself again, happy, easy going, not worried, not anticipating something bad was going to happen. What I cannot handle is the sleep disruption this drug has caused.  Waking at 3, 4 am and unable to get back to sleep.  Dr. prescribed  .50 mg Xanax, which is helping me through this side effect.  Hopefully it will subside when my body adjusts to the serotonin levels"


"This medication though helped...it was not worth the weight gain..it really wasn't. I took it a while back and it was not worth it.  I also found that it made me feel a little suicidal."


"Took my way (since it was free with my insurance) within 48 hours after the “slip up” .... it DID NOT WORK!!! I am now 8 weeks pregnant!!!! Never had this happen using the real “Plan B” ..."


"I have had ADD all my life. Starting in 5th grade, my psychiatrist put me on Concerta. I didn't eat well and I didn't grow for almost three years. When my doctor expressed concern, I was switched to Strattera. I am now a senior in high school, and have been on Strattera for five years. I haven't noticed any side effects and it has truly been a blessing in my life."


"I have suffered from migraines since I was 20 and am now 34. I have tried countless abortive medicines.  Sumavel is the best one by far because it relieves the pain and nausea fast (usually within 10 mins for me).  The injection is painful and leaves quite a welt but far worth it to get relief.  I do sometimes have issues with it not firing properly but it could be just me pulling back at the last second when I anticipate the pain coming.  I have wasted quite a few shots this way."


"There are not significant changes to the spasms when taking this drug"


"My daughter has severe austism and was given this for it. This medication started out for about two weeks calming behaviors of my child. Then around the third week, my daughter became more disengaged at home and at school. The staff at her school said she seemed spooked when they walked in the hallways, a therapist said she appeared to be looking through her. My child had the skill of saying when she needed to go to the bathroom, and initiating  each day to take a bath. After about two weeks on this medication she lost those skills, no longer mentioned she wanted to take a bath on her own and when I tried taking her a bath she was resistant to it and when I would take her to the bathroom to use the restroom she was resistance. She also became constipated. Thank goodness I took her off this."


"I loved it got free samples. But can NOT afford the drug."


"When I was pregnantin 1997 I was told I had hep c. How I got it I am unsure. But I never worried much on having it. Until told after my second child in 2004 that I could pass it to my kids during pregnancy. Scared I ordered test on my two girls ( they are uninfected) and started using the treatment that was avalible at that time. I took six pills a day and shots once a week that made me feel awful. I didn't eat very good for six weeks due treatment. Was hospitalized for being under weight and severe malnourishment. When released I started a new job and lost my insurance. Was told once I quit treatment I wouldn't be able to Start again. Now DEC. 2016  I am on last month of harvoni and it worked. No side effects during treatment."


"Chase it with strong Garlic hummus...works great!!"


"It's my 5th year on Implanon, so on 2nd dose. I have irregular periods that can last up to a month or not appear for up to two months at all. I never know if I'll have any pain coming with them, from time to time I do. During this 5 years my dress size changed from 10 down to 8 and then from 8 up to 12 in only 1 year, around 2.5 stone in weight. All despite regular workouts and veggie diet. I also have mood swings, sex drive mostly off. For the last 2 years my face and back are like teenager's with constant acne like breakouts but, I have to say the security it gave was worth it all. I could not take pills and wouldn't rely on condoms. At this stage I can't wait to get it out, though I would consider having this again after kids."


"Amazing!!"


"I've been taking this pill for a little over 3 weeks now and it's absolutely terrible. Let me start off by saying I take it at the exact same time every single day and have never missed a pill so I am using it correctly. The second week in I began bleeding and have been for over 10 days now. Not just a little spotting but full out blood almost like a period And with cramps! My boyfriend noticed I'm moodier. I'm so emotional I can cry at any second over the smallest things and I get headaches all the time. The first week I took the pill I had no appetite and was sweating and hot every second. I know you are supposed to wait 3 months to let your body adjust to the birth control but it is not worth bleeding for over a week and the mood swings."


"It has saved my life 3 times in the ER. If it would have not been for this medicine I would have died a junky and would not of had the chance to change my life for the better. Thank you for this medicine."


"Durezol was prescribed by my doctor following cataract surgery in both eyes.  I had no problems following surgery, so I assume that Durezol was effective and it had no side effects that I am aware of at this time."


"Yaz is great. I have been taking it for about 6 months and my period is only about three days long and very light.  Before starting Yaz I had PMS for about a week and I would cry everyday. Now, I have no signs of PMS. I love Yaz."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"I'm 60, and had one previous colonoscopy over ten years ago. I don't remember how unpleasant the prep solution was, but it was taken in one dose, not over two days, as is more generally done now. I chilled my water and the suprep over night. It took me about ten minutes to get it all down. Nasty stuff! I just kept chugging it as quickly as I could. I stopped to take sips of iced tea whenever it became nauseating. Once you get it down, the rest is a breeze. You will want to drink the next 32 ounces of water, just to get that taste out of your mouth. All in all, it could have been much worse. Just do it!"


"So i wanted to share this experience with everyone, Today i took my first 37.5 also i did my B12 inj last night. I will try to update weekly I'M EXCITED!"


"I experienced loss of appetite and had 3 falls due to this medication.  I also experienced being unusually cold and my hand/fingers would shake,  not the usual steady.  It all stopped after stopping tramadol.  I was prescribed the 50mg pill every 6 hours."


"This was a miracle for the Fibromyalgia pain, until the excessive sweating began.  It took a long time to make the connection.  I have been off for three months, the sweating has stopped, but the pain of Fibro is creeping back.  Will have to try something else.  The sweating was such a nuisance, and it got so bad, it was frightening.
But, definitely give it a try - it may help you."


"I was very tired the first week, but after pushing through it I felt better.  Headaches took about 2-3 weeks to go away, but they were gone.  I had been having headaches almost daily and they were getting severe.  I felt pain free, HOWEVER, I felt like my IQ had dropped about 20 points.  I couldnt think of things quickly anymore and it was getting worse.  My typing was getting worse and I was forgetting everyday things like family members names.  I pulled backwards out of my driveway one day and with myself turned around looking out the rear window, I couldnt orient myself to figure out which side of the road to be on.  I was on Elavil for almost 2 months.  I took myself off 1 week ago.  Headaches are coming back, but my memory is returning"


"I am taking Victoza 1.6 everyday. At the beginning I lost 10 lb but since then I don't move. "


"I have been on Topamax for three-four years, it makes me so sleepy, so then I switched to Lamictal. Lamictal makes me hungry but I feel better and have energy. I am going to take both and hopefully, it will work great together. "


"I have had the implant for about two months now and I have not really had any problems except for strange bleeding patterns which I was told was to be expected for the first six months to a year. The only other thing that kind of bothered me was a weird bout of serious depression and irritability, but I just reminded myself my body is getting used to this new method. I had been using the depo shot since I was about 15 ( I am 20 now) and it's fairly similar. One thing I like is that I have not had any weight gain, but I've actually been able to lose weight fairly easy. I know it's early but I love it, and if I have any weird problems in the future I can just get it removed, which I like!"


"I've suffered from reoccurring kidney stones for about five years and i'm only 18. After trying numerous medications to control my pain, i was given Dilauded in my IV and it SAVED ME. Nothing works better for me, and if you find yourself in a situation where you have kidney stones, please talk to your doctor about dilauded. It'll save you a lot of time!!"


"I was constipated for 5+ days. I have some general IBS problems but usually not this severe. This was my first time I have had to use a laxative. The constipation got to the point where it looked and felt like I was 3 months pregnant (no possibility of actually being pregnant). I took 2 does of 15 ml an hour apart before bed with 8oz of water with each dose. I took the lowest dose because I am a small female adult and did not want to over do it.  I felt very slight cramping at night but overall it worked great! Very minimal pain, and I had a BM about 13 hours later (more than it says, but still worth it). The BM was fairly solid and full. I would highly recommend this product if you need a little help as it is gentle and it works!"


"Over 2 months...I've gained 10lbs, awful mood swings, headaches (which I never used to get) and fatigue. I switched to this to help with my spotting but I feel like I'd take the spotting over this any day! Not happy."


"I took this antibiotic for a tooth infection and it worked over all. The first day I was alright, but into the second day, I started having diarrhea. Now, almost 2 weeks later, I still have diarrhea and it's beginning to bother me because I have to go to the bathroom after I eat any little thing. I recommend any other antibiotic except clindamycin."


"This medication saved my life!  I take 300mg daily. Fortunately I haven't had any adverse side-effects.   I tried four other drugs before being allowed to remain on Wellbutrin XL by my insurance company.  Sadly my list of medications included the generic for Wellbutrin XL. It took years, side-effects, and suicidal tendencies (due to generic) before I was allowed to remain on Wellbutrin XL.  Now I'm not just surviving my life I'm living it."


"I had my thyroid removed in February 2009 and was on Levothroid until about 2 months ago. It did nothing to help. I switched to Synthroid and it seems to work better, but I still am feeling depressed, difficulty concentrating and have trouble remembering things, like any new information given to me. I just haven't felt like myself since the surgery."


"I used this specifically as a contraceptive. At the beginning of every cycle (the first couple white pills) I would wake up in the middle of the night with nausea. This would then lead to a couple hours of throwing up. I also had severe headaches, mood swings, no sex drive, and I was bloated."


"Significant weight gain experienced within a few months.  VERY tough on the libido. Extremely difficult to get off this medication without significant side effects - dizziness, nausea. I was taking Celexa before and would definitely go back. For the purposes of banishing depression/anxiety, it worked, but not without side effects that make me want to stop taking it each day."


"I hate nexplanon so much. After the first month of getting it everything was fine, but I started my period. It was a semi normal cycle for me and it ended after nine days. Three days after it ended I started spotting brown stuff. After a month of that I went back to the doctor to see if they could do anything and they gave me the pill to cancel out the spotting. After two weeks of taking the pill I didn’t stop bleeding so the doctor said take two pills and it finally stopped spotting. She said two days after you stop spotting stop taking the pills so I did. Then I got the heaviest period for 7 Days bleeding through 4 super plus tampons through out the day. I repeated the pill process and stopped and my period came back heavier."


"DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!! I used this product just tonight and it made me ich and burn worse than any yeast infection. I thought this would be a quick solution to avoid another awkward doctor visit. But I was wrong, do not use this unless you want your vagina to feel like it's being melted off. I douched with cool water and tried to get as much of the cream out as possible."


"After reading so many reviews in the past couple of weeks, I felt I needed to write one given my unusual experience.  I had unprotected sex the first week of December, I took Plan B within 12hrs and felt completely fine.  4 days later I bled very heavily for 4 or 5 days, and figured I safe.  Then my period never came, took 2 pregnancy tests both were negative but I got so paranoid once I was a week late I went to the doctor and had a blood test, also negative, but with still no period and "pregnancy symptoms" I was still very concerned. FINALLY 11 days late I started my period.  Plan B can definitely throw your system very out of whack, so moral of the story if you're anything like me try and relax!"


"Using this medication reduced the bloated feeling I had. It also reduced my appetite, caused by the air pockets, before I was using this drug. Great medicine, with no side effects that I am aware of."


"I was in 2 minds whether to change from the pill to the implant, I've always been quite bad with missing pills and I don't plan on having children any time soon so I thought the implant would be a good option. There are so many bad reviews which put me off however, my doctor reassured me that everyone is different and suggested that I try Cerazette, which is a Progestogen-only pill and is similar to the implant. This way I could see how my body reacted to this form of contraception for 1 month but it would be easier to come off it if I didn't get on very well. After the month I was really happy with Cerazette so I had the implant fitted. A year on I haven't had 1 period and no side effects, I'm so glad I went ahead and tried it."


"It's a scam and a total waste of money, all cold sores will start healing itself in 3 days. I speak from 70 years of experience. Save your money. When I feel the first tingling of a cold sore I use Blistex and use it continually for 2 or 3 days and the blister doesn't even form. It's quite obvious that you don't accept comments that are truthful and affect your monetary bottom line. Another evidence of a scam."


"An excellent drug. Brought back performance of 30 year old. At lower doses the effect can vary. Suggest 20 mg about two hours before sex, but will work well for long duration after that. Drink one to two glasses of water when taking to improve absorption. Exercise, relax and enjoy."


"First had Botox injections March of 2016.  Doctor stated it would last six to nine months.   Lasted 13 months and no side effects.
Last week had my second injection as an outpatient.  Took about five days to have me back to normal.  Best choice I made for my OAB.  No problems at this time and hoping it last at least nine months."


"I have been using Afrezza for 6 months and the controls I have with my BG are incredible. It's so easy and convenient to use. You don't think twice about staying complient. My son is T1 and has been using Afrezza for 5 months. Now his experience is over the top."


"I was prescribed Cipro for five days (2 a day).  I took one the first day. That night I had terrible scary hallucinations.  I couldn't sleep (obviously when you see faces in your window, black hooded creature in your mirror, etc.). The next day I took one pill in the morning and one at night.  I was very shaky that day and pretty much out of it.  I had a hard time focusing.  That night I had more hallucinations than the night before. Scared me a lot!  Third day I only took1/2 a pill. Still had hallucinations and music playing only in my ears, no one else could hear it. It was the worst experience of my life.  I called the doctor, explained my situation, and he prescribed something else and it worked. Slept like a baby."


"I rated the product a 5 as it does what it is supposed to do - cleanse your bowel.  It is however the most unpleasant of medications and produced severe nausea.  It was difficult to drink the gallon required.  I had used Fleet Phospho-Soda in the past and that is so much better than this.  Expensive also."


"Cymbalta didn't help with my pain it only made me feel like zombie, I'm trying to get off of it and it's a nightmare. I'm removing 7 beads from the capsule every day and feel soo sick. I feel like I'm going to die at times"


"This medicines side effect for me was really bad constipation. I was in and out the ER for constipation and not one doctor told me it could be this medicine. After getting off of it, it took me 9 long days to have a bowel movement but since getting off of it I am back to normal. This medicine never helped with my overactive bladder."


"I have been using Tegretol for 6 months for BiPolar and I have felt happier consistently for the first time in my life. I have tried many others over 15 years and Tegretol has changed my life. I have had no side effects! Go Tegretol!"


"Spinal cord injury-Paraplegic: May help manage neuropathic pain.  A great medicine when used properly."


"This pill is extremely helpful. I had very bad anxiety due to my friend passing away, stress at work, and some family issues. I was to the point that I was about to slap everybody at work, just from being overwhelmed and a few peoples negative intentions. Before taking this medication I would barely sleep at night, tossing and turning. It's been 3 days now and I already see improvement on how I feel and my attitude over all. I'm starting to not allow work get to me and raise my blood pressure. I feel more relaxed and calmer now, and able to sleep through the whole night. I feel great and I'm so surprised because last week I was borderline depressed."


"With moderate to severe fibromyalgia for 12 years I lost my career and lived in fear of having a life to avoid a flare-up.  I have tried every antidepressant, serotonin uptake inhibitor, pain medicine, anti-inflammatory.... you all know, with major side effects that only contributed to fibromyalgia symptoms.  March 2014 I got a cold and used Mucinex for the first time and could not believe the relief.  I have prayed for someone to invent a NEW MEDICINE for fibromyalgia that would work and it turned out this OLD MEDICINE has returned my life to me.  Thank God for Mucinex!"


"I have Multiple Sclerosis, and work for my neurologist.  I have been on Gilenya for 6 months I am so thankful for a pill rather an injection.  I have had no side effects, that I can say for sure, I have had dizziness, and nausea prior to the change in medicine.  I am unsure if everyone on these disease modifying medications is aware that they do not "cure" or get rid of MS symptoms you already have.  These medications are to put the MS in a remissive state."


"I have had horrible cystic acne since I was 18, which gets worse around my period. I've tried so many different birth controls and gone to the dermatologist so many times with no luck. This stuff changed the game for me. I rarely get cystic acne anymore, and my skin just looks so much better and healthier. I used to never leave the house without makeup, and now I don't even give it a second thought!
I am so grateful for this medication. My periods are also normal and fairly light. I never have cramps during my period anymore! If you have acne problems and want to regulate your period, definitely try this first."


"I have been taking gilenya for the past six years. It has been the only medicine I have been on for Ms. I thought it was a great option for the first few years with very few side affects and only one relapse per year.  Then my hair started thining and the headaches and fatigue got really bad.   Now it no longer seems to be working. Last  mri showed several new lesions  and my Dr said the drug is doing little to nothing for me. He wants me to switch to Tysabri but hearing the risks for that terrifies me."


"I am using this off-label as a Type 1 (I've been a type 1 diabetic for 31 years), after I started becoming more resistant to insulin doses, probably due to also being forced to use steroids for the rest of my life.  No problems so far, have seen that my blood sugars do not go sky high from my liver dumping glucose into my system in the middle of the night.  I have not had test results yet, but I have seen a much steadier blood sugar level instead of constant swings from 30 to 500 every day like I had before.  Staying steady around 150 most the time now, so huge improvement."


"Amazing. Had OAB for 22 years. Bladder Myomectomy 18 years ago made life sort of possible but  frequency has become worse in recent years. Was given mirabgron last week. After one tablet I slept through the night for the first time in over 20 years. Been on it for 5 days now - bladder pressure and discomfort greatly eased and have sometimes gone 5 hours without a pee but regulary manage 3 hours. Before I could not go more that 90 mins- 2hrs without discomfort or going for a pee. So looking good. No side effects noticed yet either. As I live in Wales there is no charge for prescription."


"I was originally prescribed 25 mg per night when I was 13 to treat Chronic Headache Syndrome (CHS). It worked like a charm. My neurologist took me off it when I was 19 because people usually outgrow CHS by adulthood. As the medication left my system, I discovered I had an anxiety disorder I never knew I had because the amitriptyline had taken care of it! Now, I'm back on 25 mg and I couldn't be happier."


"Helped with anxiety but made me hungry all the time (no other side effects) but I was able to sleep well while taking it."


"I take 100 mg "as needed" for chronic neck and shoulder pain after dual AFDC surgery which left me with some major nerve damage.  It doesn't totally relieve my pain, but it makes it tolerable. One dose makes me nauseous with or without food in my stomach. If I have a bad neck day and take 2 doses I will spend the night throwing up so I never take 2 doses any more."


"Worked fantastically well after a short period of side effects (stomach pain and other gastrointestinal issues). Psoriasis has practically cleared, leaving only pale patches where it had been. Experienced significant weight loss, likely due to the stomach issues."


"I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Kept me up, maniacally freaking out, until 4 am. Followed by extreme nightmares and tossing and turning. My head felt like it was going to explode. I literally almost went to the hospital. Terrifying. "


"I'm male, 52, and a diabetic on insulin. After developing severe peripheral neuropathy six years ago, I was prescribed Neurontin which did not work for me. After two weeks with no relief, I  checked into the ER due to intense pain. I was prescribed Cymbalta by the ER doctor and have never looked back. Within a couple of days the pain was gone! My feet and lower legs felt great, and the ominous feeling of intensified pain in the evenings had vanished. As for side effects, I sometimes have difficulty sleeping, and sometimes I feel a bit wonky-headed. However, those are easy trade-offs to accept in return for the pain relief I feel. Cymbalta continues to be my miracle medication."


"Being female with ankylosing spondylitis was rare enough, but the pain in my lower back was bad. Humira was started in Nov 07 and the pain felt in walking was taken care of.  It has halted the progression of the ankylosing spondylitis in my lower back."


"This is my second month of Sprintec and I have had severe hair loss, cramps all the time, which seems to last all day sometimes. I have gained weight, back pain, headaches and most of all lack of energy! The only positive is that my sex drive has increased. Before this, I was using Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, which was okay. It was to expensive, so I switched to this."


"Not good for me, migraines were terrible and had tongue swelling. I went on to Stratarra which I found better"


"This medicine helped me to function. "


"Very good for taking care of BV symptoms quickly. I was prescribed to 500 mg twice a day. The pill can not be taken on an empty stomach or you most and like will have bad symptoms. Also be sure not to drink alcohol. Don't get me wrong the taste is bitter... Yuck. So I take it with yogurt which can and drink milk to get it down."


"I really wanted this to work. I have MDD, OCD, and panic disorder. I took cellexa,  Zoloft, then Paxil. Cellexa worked at first. Both the others did nothing to control my anxiety and contributed to weight gain. My doctor suggested this. I started at 10mg. I threw up multiple times a day for a week. Then I upped it to 15mg. I threw up even more. I was throwing up just brushing my teeth in the morning. I couldn't eat or drink anything because it would make me sick. I lost the ability to taste (everything had a metallic taste to it).  Finally, I ended up in the ER. I ended up with my first kidney stone. Doctor felt it was caused by dehydration from constant vomiting and lack of eating and drinking."


"This is unbelievable!  I've used OTC medicines before, but usually bought store brand.  I've never bought Monistat before because of the higher price.  But, I'm really sick, and my husband has my car for business, and the nearest store is 4 miles, so I ordered what I felt I had to from Amazon same day delivery.  I am just shocked!  It started itching within a few seconds after insertion.  I had some leftover cream from previous purchases (I'm a medicine hoarder lol) and that helps around the outside, but the inside is so itchy and painful I can't stand it.  I swear, my uterus is starting to ache and cramp right now as we speak.  What is happening?  I thought someone at the factory had possibly tampered with my medicine!  DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!"


"The medication worked well to prevent migraines. However after one month of use I developed joint pain/swelling and a rash. It was determined I had drug induced lupus and the medication was discontinued."


"I got my Mirena inserted 2 days ago.  I'm 48 and this is to try and curtail heavy bleeding.  I had it once before, when I was in my early 30s and kept it for 3 years.  It was removed after I had a tubal ligation.  I have 2 kids, ages 22 and 21.  I took 200 mg of misoprostal vaginally the night before, and 800 mg of ibuprofen one hour before insertion.  Worst part by far was when the doc clamped  my cervix to steady it.  I reacted by lifting my butt off the table without planning to, it was an involuntary reaction.  Actual insertion hurt but it was quick, like 20 seconds.  Cramping and bleeding for several hours following, get a heating pad as it really helps.  It's now day 3, n cramping and only spotting when I wipe.  All ok"


"My pharmacy doesn't carry the sprintect birth control that I have been using for the past 5 1/2 years any more and switched me to Esatrylla and said "It is exactly the same thing." I have been taking it for 12 days - The acne I have gotten in the past 12 days is out of control. Deep, cystic acne that I have never experienced in my life, all over my face and down my neck and arms. I am 26 years old and I have pubescent acne all of the sudden. My mood swings have been horrible and I am exhausted at the end of the day. My poor husband has been avoiding me. I called my doctor today and am switching to a pharmacy who carries the brand I used before Estarylla. I wish I would have done a little research on this pill before taking it!"


"I believe I have found the answer I have been looking for! Been on it about two months. I sleep throught the night with a lot less interruption and I fall asleep more quickly.  My thought pattern is far less anxious and muddled; I am able to concentrate.  My mood is far less out of whack and I am generally happy.  The only downside for me is it gives me the munchies and I have diabetes, so I have gained some weight a bit rapidly.  However, with a lot of effort, I have eliminated foods out of my diet that are carbs. I am starting to level out and I have a lot of hope for the future with this medicine. It is expensive, but I have good insurance."


"I Was given zomig nasal spray as a test prescription from my doc. She said the nasal spray works really quickly and may be a good alternative to my max alt. I should have stuck with my instincts. After 10 years of migraines and numerous medications max alt always works. I tried the spray, it did act fast. I felt better within a half hour! But now four hours later and my migraine is back and worse than before:( I may try one more time but so far I am not impressed."


"I liked this bc quite a bit. I was on it for five years. It did make me nauseous if I didn't eat anything beforehand, but that is easily avoidable. It helped with my acne some but not a lot which is why my doc switched me. I didn't experience any weight gain or loss. I also didn't notice any difference in sex drive or cramps increase. Lastly, I didn't get pregnant on it, and that's the most important thing to me.

I think if it weren't a hassle for me to switch back, I would since gildess isn't helping the acne either."


"I started using nuvigil two months ago to help ease the symptoms of depression associated with my bioplar II. Overall this medication has by no means cured me, but it has allowed me to become much more functional when I am depressed. It helps me think a lot clearer, makes me more positive, and most importantly just gives me the motivation to get stuff done when I would otherwise have absolutely zero motivation to do anything. I only take this when I am depressed, as I have found it makes me kind of irritable when I am hypomanic and it just makes it really hard to sleep. The only downside is that I have to live on samples because insurance doesn't cover a penny of it:("


"I had this for my colonoscopy. No after effects. Peaceful...I didn't even know I had the procedure. This drug is amazing."


"I have been on this medication for 5 years since a bowel resection and have not had any pain nor side effects. The doctor monitors my blood counts every 3 months for low platelets; but all has been good. I"


"No babies....No periods..... but the headaches can be overwhelming... Sometimes my head hurts so bad all I can do is laying around.... Weight gain & hair loss"


"I've been diagnosed with ADHD for many years my child hood was filled with lots of trouble. I've had more failing grades than I can count more referrals then most kids been kicked out of an amazing school and lost a full ride scholarship.  I'm not blaming all these problems on being ADHD but not having self control for my actions is a big factor my doctor finally prescribed me to Adderall and the difference is cazy. I have been able to stay focused on school and all my classes for the first time in 6 years I am getting honor roll I have an interest in being in school. I'd recommend any one to give Adderall a  try. It truly has made my life a lot easier by being able to stay focused."


"I started taking Bydureon 8 weeks ago.  My Blood Sugars were quite erratic.  They have been steady at 119 to 154.  Four weeks ago I developed a dry mouth.   Drinking water all day.  I lost 15 lbs.  I went to the dentist for my four month clean and a wisdom tooth that was perfectly normal had to be extracted.   I stopped taking Bydureon and I no longer have a dry mouth."


"I am getting ready for a colonoscopy and I am taking these two days prior. I was thinking since I have problems with constipation I would take 2 with dinner and then I took 3 before I go to bed. I woke up in the most painful cramps and have been peeing out my butt for 3 minutes. I would recommend not taking more then 1. I was stupid because I thought it wouldn't help. Wow was I wrong."


"Lo Loestrin Fe is the first birth control I've ever been put on and what can I say? I LOVE IT! Its cleared my face, no weight gain (if anything I've lost a couple of pounds), I have tons of energy, my periods last two days now with no cramping and I don't bleed much, my sex drive is through the roof and its actually making sex feel 10x's better than it used to! Miracle pill I guess or at least that's what my fiance says. It doesn't make me moody, and its not that expensive with insurance. The only con is that for the first few days of using it I had some drowsiness but most new medicines I try make me drowsy. I recommend it 110%!"


"I've been on Alesse for 6 months without problems. I gained a cup size and maintained my weight. No mood swings. No spotting. TAKE NOTE OF THE BRAND AT YOUR PHARMACY THOUGH! Often times they prescribe you a generic brand even IF your doctor wrote Alesse. I had noticed this and spoke to my pharmacist. And got the name brand."


"I have had chronic idiopathic uticaria for over 17 years. Since I was 3, all I can remember is the stress, pain, embarrassment, etc that this condition has caused me. Now, at age 20 I'm finally receiving the medicine I've been hoping and praying for. For a while, Doxepin combined with many different types of antihistamines worked to reduce the amount of hives I would get. Now, only prednisone will temporarily help my hives. Prednisone has caused me to gain weight. Nothing has worked to reduce my hives other than the prednisone, until I found Xolair. The shot did hurt, but it's worth the pain. Towards the end of my first shot, I did get a lot of hives. I'm hoping the next few reduce them even more. I am so happy to have Xolair!"


"I have lost 50 lbs. since May, 2016....I do not take the combined drug.  Some people are complaining about the cost has anyone ever looked into Good Rx coupons? Even the Good Rx is high - close to or over $200 for a month but by taking 2 separate pills I only pay about $20 per month so why take the comb. pill... I really don't understand.  Is it better?"


"Tried Savella for Fibromyalgia and had lots of trouble.  Had to stop it due to side effects. My son and husband said I had became very grumpy since starting it as well as having nightmares that made it difficult to know the difference in nightmare and reality. I stopped Savella and went back to just Tramadol."


"I suffer from sever depression, severe anxiety, sever pain due to several other medical conditions and life itself. Been taking this for about 3 months and things are a lot less stressful. I can handle light social situations again. Im actually able to sleep all night again. This combined with my fleet of other meds I'm able to function a lot more. Ive been on the usual xanax and what not, those were fun but long term didn't work for me (i grew up yay) Need more meds like this on the market."


"Very bad medicine I can hardly open my eyes and the headache didn't stop since day one!"


"Have been taking Zestril for many years, starting with 20 mg, and last year the doctor increased to 40 mg. Have had no noticeable side effects, and it controlled my pressure for many years prior to last year.  I am 75 years old now, so I suppose it is normal to need an increased dosage.  The doctor also added Cardizen CD last year, as I had an episode of rapid heartbeat (over 200bpm) while in his office, and he sent me to the ER.  Since taking Cardizem CD for more than a year, I have had no repeat episodes.  No noticeable side effects either."


"The only side effects I have after 2 weeks of this drug is confusion. It has greatly improved my depression."


"I take 50mg ER tablet 2 X daily

Once every 12 hours.

It gives me an uncomfortable adrenaline rush every so often but otherwise definitely controls my pain levels. I have scoliosis.  It is more of nerves in muscle pain and exhaustion."


"I had a work accident over a year ago. I have taken every pain medicine, had the spinal shots therapy. Now I'm taking this and have virtually no pain. However, if/when you are taking this, be careful - about 2-4 hours after taking it, you will feel extremely drunk or high for a while. Don't drive on this stuff. But overall, it has worked better than all the other medicines I have been on."


"I started this med today I'm 177# and 5'2" I will check in after the 3 months I was told to take it! I'm excited even though I have read through all your post about sideffects. I'm prepared with ibuprofen and lots of water starting today lol"


"Have only used Lasix a few days and have already noticed a big difference."


"I am in the medical field and this is by far the best antibiotic you can get outside of the hospital. If you have a bacterial infection in your lungs and you want it to clear up right away then this is the medicine for you. On the downside it is a very expensive but at some point you get tired of being sick and realize it is worth every single penny. You will be well in no time!"
