"I had implanon inserted a few months ago due to frustrations with the birth control pill and breakthrough bleeding. After reading many experience online the insertion experience and what side effect I may experience seemed daunting - however, I can confirm that the insertion process was only the discomfort of a needle to numb the area and then a feeling of pressure and it was all over. The area felt uncomfortable for about a week and now I hardly notice it at all. The biggest thing for me is that after 3 months I am yet to have a period or any break through bleeding. My experience so far is a positive one with no major side effects to note. I am grateful for no longer having to remember to take a pill everyday."


"I had been taking Savella for about four years and had no idea how well it was working until I decided to go off of it, because I do not like taking any medication. Within a few days, it was clear that without medication             ( Savella) I was going to be in pain. I saw my doctor and asked to try something else. I was put on bupropion and then later switched to  Adderall for the chronic fatigue and pain, caused by fibromyalgiai. The bupropion made me dopey and lethargic, even after two months. Then I tried Adderall, which did help with the fatigue but the pain came back and worsened over the next two months. I am totally convinced that nothing works better than Savella...at least for me. I started back on Savella and

feel great."


"Have seen dramatic improvement from Afrezza.

"


"This pill works good. I have been taking it for 3 days and symptoms are gone! I have been suffering from bacterial vaginitis for a year and ignored it. I got checked out for everything else except for B.V. and just thought it was something normal until I got pregnant and started having a lot of stomach pain and discharge so I told my doctor about it and she prescribed me this medicine. I can say this medication works wonders."


"Extreme fatigue, unclear thinking, aches, irritability, dizziness."


"I'm on 350 MG for PTSD With recurring nightmares. This medicine really works. It's like being put out with gas before a surgery. It's black sleep. No dreams and uninterrupted sleep."


"I was switched to Blisovi after my other generic was discontinued.  I was on it for two months before realizing that it was almost certainly the cause of the severe anxiety, depression, and mood swings I'd been having for two months.  There were days I couldn't function because my anxiety had gotten so high, and nothing was actually going on for me to be anxious about.  I finally realized that it started pretty much right when my BC got switched so I'm going off of it now.  I have never felt so miserable in my life."


"Hey everyone. Taking this pill saved my life. Im 18 and just started college, i had sex with condoms but it was my first time and I heard a pop (=didn't know what it was). I felt like being pregnant would be so unfair, especially since we did use contraceptives. My boobs hurt a lot thoughout the process, i had severe back pain, i was tired, really moody, and freaking out for 3 weeks because i thought i was pregnant. I got my period 2 days early, thought it was implantation bleeding, but took 4 tests and they all said negative. I'm telling you this messes up your hormones big time. your period is not gonna be the same most probably, and that's normal. Just relax guys, this works. stress makes it worse!!!!! and it could push back your period!!"


"I am amazed-   I have been smoke free for a few years now.  While taking chantix I had awesome dreams- seriously awesome very vivid and loved them!!!  After a few days of taking the med the taste of a cigarette is terrible - this is how it helps you and the craving goes away.  Seriously this is the best thing out there to help you quit.   My husband was on it and quit for three months but started back up-  he just started it again.  He smokes about two packs a day and he will need to continue chantix for a few months.   Never stop quitting!  I know many people who have quit using Chantix.  (Wish there was a version for weight loss!!)"


"I have been on this birth control for awhile now probably a year. I love the fact it makes my periods super light and super short. I even skip periods often which is scary but a relief at the same time. The biggest downfall is the fact I am depressed a lot and have zero sex drive.  I blame the birth control because I have gone without it for a few days because I ran out and I felt like a new happy woman with a sex drive."


"My BMI is 33. Bottom line, this works, no or minimal side effects. I keep losing, not hungry anymore, and fill after a few bites at a meal. I need a new belt already. 4 loops in 2 weeks. Stomach keeps shrinking. Before I would go to the fridge all day and snack, and never feel full at meals, it is incredible. I feel 20 years younger and a lot more active. All within 2 weeks."


"Day 6 and I have not had a cigarette. No struggle with withdrawal symptoms seems like a puff on the  inhaler solves that issue. Glad I decided to try this.  I believe I will make it this time."


"I have been on the medication for nearly ten years and it has changed my life! However if I miss a dose the sweating comes back. I take two a night because it makes me extremely drowsy. Another side effect I have noticed is that it can make me feel anxious. But overall its the only thing that controls my hands and feet from sweating!"


"I am a 57 year old male who struggled through five years of college and finally gave up without getting a degree.  At home I would start projects and never finish them.  In my early forties, I finally earned a BS degree out of sheer determination.  My wife, who is a psychologist, gave me an IQ test and found that my IQ is rather high.  I started asking myself, "Why have I been an under-achiever for most of my life?"   My wife suggested that I might have ADD.  I started taking Adderall XR 20mg about 6 years ago which changed my life for the better. I am now able to finish things that I start.  Plus, I don't procrastinate nearly as much.  I now read entire books, newspaper articles, etc., without quitting part way through."


"Have done the full arsenal of anti-depressants with minimal to no resolution of my SAD/GAD. I am a generally healthy 48 year old male that mysteriously  2 years ago developed intense GAD/SAD: terrified flop sweats in meetings, avoidance of all social gatherings/interaction, non-stop anxiousness, and a handful of panic attacks. Under recommendation from my therapist my GP reluctantly prescribed clonazepan (Klonopin). 1 mg 2 x day. The full 1 mg made me a bit glassy eyed and dull. Reducing to 0.5 mg in the morning - to handle work-related anxiety and 1mg at night before bed. Success! I am close to the goofy outgoing person I was before the anxiety kicked in full-force. Bravo! I have found the right mix - finally."


"I tried buspar in addition to 200mg of zoloft. it was meant to enhance the zoloft. Unfortunately , it didn't work for me. I was on it for about 5 months, and during that time i kept having on and off discomfort , like my heart was beating harder,my stomach was always really bloated, my body heat would rise and I'd have a hard time cooling down. The symptoms were so mild I didn't really pay much attention to it, but after a while i got tired of the negative side effects and decided to call it quits. Almost immediately after i stopped taking the medication, all of those negative symptoms went away so I definitely know it was the buspar. if anyone has similar side effects, just stop the medication after two weeks max, its not worth it."


"Been on it since I was 29. Panic attacks almost non existent. Since been on it bad nausea and vertigo when first taking it, cut dosage to 50 mg a day at bedtime."


"Propranolol has given me the best tremor control with the least amount of side effects. I tried 4 other medications before my new neurologist suggested this. It's changed my life. No need to increase after 6 months. Some orthostatic hypotension has been an problem, but it seems to be due to mixing this with other medications required for my other health issues."


"I was really afraid about the pain after reading the reviews but it was so easy! I took misoprostol the night before to soften my cervix which they said may cause cramps and had none. I went to get the IUD today and barely felt a pinch! I also took 800mg ibuprofen at bedtime and an hour before my appointment and I had a baby 12 weeks ago. Definitely recommend! Don't be scared off by the reviews, everyone is different!"


"I was prescribed Subsys after being on the fentanyl patch for 6 months, 100 every 48 hours and as my cancer progressed and treatments happened, which caused more pain, I needed something for breakthrough pain really bad, I would be put down to my knees from the pain and just lay in my bed moaning like a child but Subsys works within minutes, eases the pain where I can feel it just literally fade away. I'd be in a wheelchair without it, or bedridden. "


Osteolytic Bone Lesions of Multiple Myeloma

"This new 20 min IV just about killed me and put me in the hospital for 7 days, then rehab for 2 weeks. I had the chronic upper thigh pain which made my right leg and foot numb and I need a walker to walk now. My calves also are very painful. This IV stopped my urination and I had to go to the ER.

My urthea tube was completely closed and urologist got 3 1/2 liters off my bladder. I have to now have a cathier for the rest of my life. My kidneys did turn around but were very bad in the hospital.

I have stage 4 prostate cancer and was on adreia and lupron shot every 3 months.The adreia IV was 2 hrs.

I handled These meds very well but my new oncologists decided to change to zometa.I was not told about all of these side effects."


"I've been taking this pill for almost my entire life to help keep off bad infections and it's been a miracle worker for me (I don't have any natural immunity, was born that way) so this pill helps me avoid any bad infections and thus far has worked great. I've never experienced any side effects from it."


"Due to a huge amount of stress that has taken over my life; I have been getting extreme acne lately. I've tried everything I possibly can to rid these nasty Zits. My boyfriend luckily is completely non-judgemental, or I'd be single if I was with an idiot. My doctor just prescribed this huge bottle of orange pills. Monocycline 100mgs 3 times daily. I'm hoping there are no side effects. I will update how my recovery goes in the near future. :) let's hope for the best because I need clear skin... I'd die for it. I swear it's something in the water that causes me to break out. I do everything normally and shower almost three times per day. There's no reason I should have acne because I'm completely hygenic. Oh well... Let's give this a go! %u2764%uFE0F"


"I take this every night for my Sleep disorder (periodic limb movement) , without it I would wake in the am feeling like I got hit by a bus! Also tired, this relieved it all."


"My dermatologist put me on Doryx a few months ago and for a long time I didn't see a difference but within the past 3 months my acne has cleared up and it looks so much better than it use to and I really only break out now before my period. Only now I'm getting stomach pains and I've been told to slowly wean myself off it."


"I could always fall asleep, but could not stay asleep.  Three hours a night was normal.  I needed help and Ambien, etc. were harsh.  The doctor suggested trazodone and I tried it.  She said it might take time to work- but that first night I slept 9 hours.  I've been taking it for four years and it changed my life.  No side effects except for drowsiness on days 1-2 and if I'm off of it for any time.  I take 50 mg and am a 200lb healthy male.  This medicine is under-prescribed for this indication."


"I went to the doctor from experiencing mild acne, especially on my forward head. I have combination skin, oily and dry in different places. Also scaring from previous acne. The doctor prescribed the cream Duac, she told me to wear it at night before I go to bed and wash my face off in the morning. Its been a few days now and I already see a change. No new pimples are appearing, old acne clearing, and past scars are fading. It is in my opinion, very effective and quick. However, it does dry out your skin, but along as you moisturise it should be fine. I would definitely recommend this product."


"Hello  I have had severe acne for almost 10 years. I carried on because I don't have enough money to check in dermatologists. And thankful of my boss he bought me to the hospital here in Kuwait Adan. Doctors give me the medicine  doxycycline and taking for 1 month and also cream Ipeduo and now thanks be to God the acne cleared. And now am comfortable with my face and when I look in the mirror happy and can smile without curiosity.
Thanks doxycycline and Ipidou cream"


"Awesome. Started working right away, within a day or two. No noticable side effects. Easy to take. Only drawback is some insurances do not accept it and it is rather expensive. All natural."


"I was on Loestrin for 3 years. My experience on this pill was overall a good one. I was sexually active and never used back up, the pill kept all pregnancy scares away. Cramps stopped and stayed away for 3 years until they reappeared suddenly and was one of the reasons I switched. I had little acne and no mood swings (to my knowledge), my breasts did grow almost 2 cup sizes. The only problem I had was due to my own fault. I never took my pill with anything and I'd take it right before I went to bed. In the morning I would feel extremely ill. I fixed this with just taking my pill at dinner. I switched pills because all of a sudden I started bleeding and cramping all the time and not following the pill schedule."


"I was very nervous to take Soma after doing some research on it. I decided to take it after being in terrible pain, I was surprised that when I woke up in the morning I could function with little pain. I decided to take 1/2 a pill instead at night and I have had great results.  Soma works better than the narcotics do especially at night. If they could just make it non-drowsy it would be the perfect medicine."


"After 3 months of severe anxiety and depression, which got worse before my periods, I wound up having a panic attack and went to the ER. I thought my life was ending, my world was up-side-down. I had no drive to do anything and worried all of the time. My doctor figured out that I had PMDD and prescribed me Celexa along with YAZ. I haven't felt this good ever. The first month on Celexa I was very tired, but other then that I have felt great."


"Second day taken Contrave. First day I had some nausea, my mouth started to get watery which for me indicates that I'm about to throw up, mild cramps in my stomach but the stomach cramps soon went away after 20m. Sleepiness and tired. My head felt like it was heavy and my jaws felt tight after a while. I felt calmer than normal and somewhat high as if I took one puff of marijuana. My mouth was dry so I drunk a lot of water to relieve the dry mouth symptoms. Cravings were minimal. Today I took the pill about the same time as I did yesterday and had the same results along with diarrhea. I had a panic attack thinking about the side effects and thought about going to the hospital but luckily my mom calmed me down some so I'm now writing this."


"It only works about 1/2 the time.  When it does work, I feel refreshed when I awaken.  I don't understand why it doesn't work for me every time."


"This medicine saved my life!  All of a sudden at the age of 39 I was covered in hives on a daily basis for months.  Antihistamines and steroids didn't do the trick and I was miserable.  Within 2 months of being on this I am completely hive free.  I wouldn't be able to function without it.  Love it!"


"I'm 42, started this pill as a birth control method & also to hopefully reduce my heavy monthly periods, 2 months in now & my experience is horrible! I have 1 week left of pills & I'm not going to continue to take them...

1st month started pack on Sunday after my period was finished, after another 7 days approx. of taking the pills I have another full 6-7 day period...then after that around day 21ish (which should have been when I was supposed to get my period) got it yet again...

I'm on pill pack 2 now...I'm now due for my period, I've had breast tenderness for 2 weeks and horrific cramping every evening (I take the pill in the morning) occupanied with nausea...side effects make it hard to tell if it's the pill or pregnancy!"


"It is absolutely amazing, my skin would flake like a snake. It cured my skin and it was silky smooth. In Canada we can get it on the shelf."


"Prozac kept me "in check" for around 30 years until it "pooped out".
When added to the 20 mg of Brintellix, the addition of 2 mg of Rexulti has significantly improved my MDD symptoms. I began with the starter pack and went from 1/2 mg for a week, 1mg for a week and then to 2mg which I have been taking for the last 3 weeks.
I have not experienced any side effects and fortunately my Dr. has been providing samples to me until I can find a way to obtain this drug at an affordable cost."


"64 year old male who recently underwent prostate cancer surgery. I have tried Cialis in the past and it worked fine. Recently I tried Staxyn (recommended by my pharmacist as a cheaper alternative) and found it to be every bit as good as the higher priced products. I cut them in half (they go twice as far!) and they still work amazingly well. I get the flushed face routine and a stuffy nose but I also get hard as a rock so great trade off."


"I love Trinessa! It works great and there are no painful side effects or weight gain or anything of that matter. However, I have experienced terrible nightmares while on it making it difficult for me to want to sleep, and I am ALWAYS aroused while on the pill which is another thing I don't like. Overall, great pill and I recommend it!"


"I was prescribed trazodone for my depression. I couldn't sleep at night and I don't feel like it has helped me. "


"I had been using Norvasc for 15 years with very limited success. Seven months ago my new GP prescribed Plendil 5mg. The effect was immediate and suppressed the Raynauds symptoms HOWEVER I became very hot and flushed in the face.
I was given 2.5 mg for two weeks and then went back to 5mg with no further problems."


"Well, Plan B worked. It worked and here we are a year later, no baby. However, the side effects are HORRIBLE. I threw up 3 times a day for a week, bled heavily, and had cramps so bad I couldn't get out of bed. But, hey. Discomfort for a week or two or an unplanned pregnancy?"


"Tried this medication and it did not work. Side effects were bad. Headache, upset stomach, could not sleep. This medication for 1 month cost over $300.00 and there is no generic. "


"I have been taking Elavil for a month now, and I am almost migraine free.  I was started on 25mg at bedtime.  My headaches lessend, but still had them.  Maybe one out of 4 was really bad.  So my MD doubled the dose to 50mg a night, and boy that did the trick but I stayed tired all the time.  I went back to 25mg every night and now it seems to be working very well for me.  Just takes time to adjust. So if you have just started, hang in there, it will get better!"


"I was diagnosed with MS is 2014 not long after I had optic neuritis in my left eye.  The neuro opthamogist misdiagnosed the optic neuritis as a mini stroke.  So sad too bad but you are blind in your left eye.  It took a hospital stay of a week before a neurologist finally got suspicious and ordered several tests, mostly MRIs and a spinal test before confirmed.  The problem was I was a 68 year old male, very fit from playing tennis 4 days a week and working as a pilot.  I was on two medications, copaxone followed by techfadera .  I failed on both as I had more symptoms and more lesions on the brain.  i am now on tysabri , am positive for the JC virus , monitored but doing tremendous.  A wonder drug.  I prefer quality of life versus quantity."


"Generally satisfied with Levitra. Some annoying side effects (congestion, facial flushing) but manageable. I have found it to be effective and helpful (I'm over 60). When I take it at night, the effects are still lasting in the morning. I generally cut a 20 mg in half which works just fine. Would give it a higher rating if not for the side effects. I am guessing it goes with the territory as it seems the "big three" erectile dysfunction medicines all produce similar side effects."


"I had a baby about four months ago. At the 8 week postpartum checkup, I got the Nexplanon implant. Many women (according to my midwife) go for the IUD (Mirena or Paragard) but the thought of a piece of plastic sitting in my cervix/uterus after I've just had a baby seemed like a minor form of torture. So I asked which birth control methods could be taken while breastfeeding and she recommended Nexplanon. I've had no period, no mood swings, and it did not affect my milk supply. I don't even remember it's there 95% of the time. I would recommend this method of BC esp if breastfeeding. Also it's covered by Medicaid."


"I love the patch. I'm 17 and I use it to regulate my periods. They used to be very irregular and long and now they come like clockwork. They're kind of heavy but they only last 4-5 days which is so nice. The first week of the patch I felt pretty nauseated and I had loss of appetite, but after that I was fine. No nausea, no headaches, and my breasts got bigger. The only problem is that I'm extremely emotional. I overreact and cry a lot, especially before/during my period. Overall, though, the patch is great, and way easier than the pill. I recommend it. "


"Got it for dysmenorrhea. Spotted for a long time (2-3 months) and ended up taking it out at 8 months because it aggravated my cramps even more. The spotting did eventually stop but my periods only lightened slightly. I had not ever been pregnant and the consensus with the girls I know is that this one definitely works better if you have had a child, and Skyla is better for non-mothers. I put on some weight and my mood dipped a little, but my acne stayed neutral (I already had moderate hormonal breakouts). Got it out today and felt immediate relief, but wish it could have worked out."


"I have had Mirena for going on 4 yr in June and love it!  Insertion was quite uncomfortable... But not bad!  I never have suffered from bad cramps and continue the same (except 1 night having extreme discomfort.)  My boyfriend picked me up from the couch and took me to bed... I was in so much pain.... Constant most horrific cramping... Crying myself to sleep... He wanted to take me to hospital!  And I have had 2 kids 1 vag 1 c sec.  But I just wanted a dark rm and sleep... Woke up the next day normal!  Only bad experience the whole time!  Periods have ceased at moment... But usually monthly until 2 months ago pretty normal until stopped!  But I do recommend and give 10... Even with the 1 night!  Implanon was bad... Constant period!"


"My doctor recommended that I print out the coupon from Pfizer for the 3 free tabs before he prescribed Viagra because of the cost.  I was directed to take 1/2 of a 100mg tablet (which was easy to cut in half).  Seemed to start working 45 minutes to one hour after taking.  Worked well, but 4 hours or so after taking it, it wore off.  Yes, was trying more than 1 hardy attempt! This went on for almost a year. Doctor switched me over to Cialis. Cialis has become my "weekend warrior" pill as it lasts almost the entire weekend."


"I should have read above before buying/trying. This stuff BURNS and ITCHIES like anything. I have the 3 day supply. I inserted the cream, all was well. I immediately then applied the tube of creme to my labia area. OMG within 10seconds it was hot fire flames.
Like someone poured alcohol on wound.  I hopped around hoping it would go away but I could not help by using my hand to get that crazy itch. I tried to wipe away the residual cream with water. But it still burning by the vagina itself.

I am hoping once the cream starts to seep out it doesn't continue. I have to work tmrw. I have wet rag cooling in the fridge to apply nxt.

This is worse than the yeast infection itself. HORRIBLE Product.  They must not have tested this trash on women before release."


"I have been on Pristiq for 8 months, 50mg. Also on Wellbutrin 400 mg for 2 months. Pristiq has been wonderful. The Wellbutrin added to it just made it that much better. In the beginning I didn't have any side effects. Now I'm having trouble with insomnia and jaw/neck clenching. I am going to start taking the Pristiq in the mornings as a lot of people have mentioned its better. I'm going to see if that makes a difference in the insomnia. If not I'm going back to the Doctor and get something to help me sleep. Other then that Pristiq has been great. No depression. No mood swings. No anxiety. My boyfriend has noticed these changes too. Good luck to everyone"


"This is the absolute worst. I was on Gildess fe 1/20 before it was recalled and I loved it. The only issue I had with that one was that I had loss of appetite. Blisovi Fe 1/20, on the other hand, is absolutely terrible. I have had the worst emotional outbursts, super angry all the time, bouts of depression (where I don't even get out of bed) and even now, after 10 months of it, my periods are so messed up, it's insane. The average duration is 10 days, incredibly heavy and incredibly painful. I've always had a regular 5 day periods with light cramping and moderate flow and now it's all over the place. I usually have 2 a month which is irritating and I can't wait to switch it. DON'T GET IT. IT'S TERRIBLE."


"I've had very intense migraines since I was 7 years old. Finally went to a neurologist last year and was given 10 mg. This medication changed my life. I missed school at least once a week because of my migraines and now I get at most 2 a month. try not to miss any because its caused me to have a headache the following day. When I do get the occasional migraine, excedrin also works wonders."


"I have been using Suboxome for 8 yrs.works well to stop opiate use. DO NOT TAKE 16MG/4MG PER DAY IT IS WAY TOO MUCH. I TAKE JUST ONE STRIP PER DAY(8MG/2MG)SPLIT IN 2 DOSES TOTAL PER DAY. The problem is now I am hooked on the medicine. I am trying to find a way to get off of it,it is very difficult.I have had 2 surgeries over last 3yrs which required pain meds. When I took the opiates prescribed it took away the pain without the high. Good Luck!"


"On June 1, 2009 I started taking Adipex-P 37.5 MG. I have now lost 15 lbs. Going from 196.2 lbs. down to 181 lbs. I was hoping to lose much more, but I also know that if you lose weight to fast you can put it back on fast. I work out 6 days a week for about 30 to 90 mins. I will be going to Doctors office on Wednesday for check up."


"Once the pain starts, it takes longer to kick in. If taken slightly before the time period ends, there is no break in pain relief."


"I've found these to be very effective in stopping my panic attacks & feelings of anxiety, however I've felt quite tired, generally lacking a level of energy, so think I might cut down from 3 x a day to 2, but overall good :)"


"I like NuvaRing and I have been using 2 months, but the vaginal irritation is horrible. No other real side effects. Breastart are always tender, no mood swings, appetite changes, weight loss/gain. I don't really have a sex drive but it doesn't bother me. I would keep using, but the irritation is so bad. I'm constantly itching :( and when I told my Dr she said there was no yeast so it's the ring."


"Honestly, I am still one of the undecided... I have/had dysmenorrhia that lasted a full 7 days each month. My tubes were tied 20 plus years ago. Perhaps it is genetics that I am in the place I am today because my mother went through many of the same symptoms and eventually had a hysterectomy. After discovering a large submucosal fibroid that was removed, I started to experience sharp pain ( which escalated from simple cramps ) when my cycle hit. The Mirena is my last viable option before surgery. It was place a week and a half ago. Within 4 days of its placement and seeing my doctor again because of pelvic pain from the jabs and sticks I felt, I'd lost 2 pounds. More weight is coming off 3 days later but still have pain."


"I have taken 0.4mg for two weeks after dinner meal. First 2 days it worked great. However I'm still getting up 4-5 times each night. Have good results during the daytime. Also taking Proscar 5mg in morning.  Hoping night improves over time."


"I was prescribed Flexeril by my primary doctor for muscle spasms in my lower back.
I could only take it for a short time, I felt no relief in the spasms in my back, I had to sleep at least 10 hours with it, or I couldn't get out of the bed in the morning. I am heading to physical therapy, I'm sure they will help much better than a stupid muscle relaxer can."


"As many people stated, Xanax has given me my life back, (Along side Paxil). When I had severe, severe anxiety, I took half a Xanax daily, but now that I'm thankfully a million times better. I only take it once in a blue moon when I feel like I need it, and take a quarter of a pill. This is amazing."


"I developed pneumonia after being treated in the hospital for an anaphylactic allergic response. Within a few days my oxygen was down to 92%. I was almost hospitalized, but begged the doc to let me stay out as it was 5 days until Christmas. I was prescribed a 5 day Z-Pak (Azithromycin). Today is day 3, I'm finally starting to feel better. Only side effect so far have been slightly loose stools, and a rapid pulse. (I'm 35 and otherwise healthy) I find I got stomach pains within an hour of taking it, so today I ate before I took it and that helped."


"I was given an injection of this after a week long stay in hospital for extreme pain due to endometriosis. They told me it would keep my pain down till surgery and for me it was the most awful experience. I was still in pain and on top of that I had to deal with intense sweating, very bad mood swings and feeling extremely tender and my joints were sore.

It made the month running up to surgery miserable for me and those around me. I would never ever go on this again."


"Horrible! Was put on this due to high blood pressure. I have taken it at the exact  same time every day for 9 months, never missing one. Bleeding very irregular, sometimes every other week and more constant than not. Sometimes heavy, sometimes light. Flip of a coin I guess. Dr said to give it a few months to settle down, it did for a little bit then right back to more than not. Guess that's how it works for birth control.... Last  thing I actually feel like doing! No weight gain or any other side effects. Going to change it at next dr. Appointment. Had enough."


"Inserted July '16 to control extremely heavy periods.  Insertion-tolerable with a day of cramping.  Within a week, I started having constant leakage-requiring a liner every day. Cycle 1-3 were lighter-but LONGER.  (10+days compared to 5-6 days)  I also started cramping, which I hadn't done since puberty.  The leakage NEVER stopped. I scheduled a removal because constant leaking and wearing a liner every single day wasn't something I could deal with anymore...feeling unclean made being intimate with my husband very difficult.  AND in 3 months I've gained 10 pounds. Sadly a family emergency required me to put off removal by a week.  This 4th cycle is a nightmare.  HEAVY bleeding with golf/ baseball clots. I wish I'd never had Mirena inserted."


"Bonine works great for when vertigo hits from additional fluid in your balance mechanism in your inner ear.  Even when no cruising or flying .  However be careful of the getting pregnant warning."


"I was having trouble conceiving so, I had tests done, DNC (just to clean the inside and make sure it was OK), got put on a fertility pills but they made me gain weight. I started adipex July 18th weight was 305 pounds. I'm always thirsty with dry mouth, quit drinking everything except water and coffee, only eating low carb foods, and when I get hungry I only eat little portions and I get full faster. I do not have a job and don't exercise everyday but I'm constantly doing something or going somewhere and the meds have really helped in my weight loss, self confidence, and changed my life style. As if August 17th I am down to 289 pounds, I have lost 16 lbs in 1 month. Currently on month 2 will post as weight loss continues."


"Everyone's battle with Hashimoto's will be different which will lead to different treatments. In my case, Armour has worked best. About a year ago, I had a sudden increase in weight with no change in diet or exercise. Once I saw this change, I ate healthier than ever before and working out consistently yet my weight went from 115 to 130 in a short period of time. I felt "puffy" and bloated constantly. Finally I was given Synthroid because Hashi's runs in my family and I had increase of antibodies. I was on it for 6 weeks and did not see any improvement. I am now on my 5th week of Armour and the bloating is gone as well as the weight gain. Don't let the doctors tell you how you feel. You must treat the symptoms. I hope this helps someone."


"I am 50. I have taken clonazepam 0.5 mg every night for 10 years. It gives me beautiful sleep. I have never needed more. I have been insomniac all my life with mild GAD. It kills the sex drive and so I try just half a tab a couple nights a week. I don't sleep very well with half tab. With all the hype about how bad it is long term, I have tried weaning back, but with poor sleep I become depressed and irritable. My estrogen is high, my testosterone has been low ever since I started taking it. I've always wondered what connection it has with hormones. It is a wonder drug in so many ways for me. Maybe when I am finally done with menopause I will consider weaning off."


"I am a 5'8" male, who is 55 years of age, and have been taking 10 mg of Lexapro for 5 months to combat depression following a divorce. Lexapro has helped greatly with my mood, ability to concentrate and despair. "


"I purged the 4th week but after that nothing new came I just had to pop out all the left over blackheads because they will not leave if i just leave them alone! I'm in the 6th week right now and have some new open and closed comedones due to what I think is that time of the month.... overall decently satisfied with my results :)"


"So me and my bf had unprotected sex June 6th and he did the pull out method but at the time I was very fertile so I was worried and took the plan b exactly 12 hours after. Trust me the two week wait is long and waiting for your cycle to start can be so stressful but plan b does work and I got my period on time. Well a day earlier. My period is really heavy which is a side effect of the pill. But trust me y'all everything will just be fine. Try not to stress!"


"So we are still learning about methylfolate and its effects in depression as it's still pretty new (megavitamin) and we're still learning about the role genetics play in the methylation cycle. I noticed a boost after a week on 15mg then it disappeared. I kept taking even though it wasn't really working anymore. Then after about six weeks I got a huge boost and as I was also on Wellbutrin at the time, it was actually way too much serotonin in my system. I think some people need doses much lower than the prescription strength and it can take a while for the full effect to kick in. It can take a little while to get back to a healthy level but it can definitely help boost whatever else you're on. Look out for hypomania if you're bipolar."


"After second dose, my brother started to have an internal bleeding that never stopped until he died a week later. DO NOT use this drug, it pushes up your immune system to the level that it starts to attack all body and making a lot of damage to the Healthy non-cancer related cells. I hope they completely withdraw this drug from the market."


"I had cervical fusion at c4-5, 5-6, 6-7, after my surgery coming out of the operating room no one could touch my skin. I had loss sense of feeling on right arm left hand right shoulder was on fire pins and needles severe also on the back right side of tongue and  throat. In the hospital they started giving me Lyrical 75mg 3 times per day that just took the edge off. Then I went to the pain Dr it was increased to 150mg 3 times a day and I had such relief to the point I could touch my skin, it has worked so great that when it is time for my next dose I begin to feel the pins and needles severe and the fire on my shoulders and hands. Amazingly it takes away that feeling as long as I take it every 6 hers. The problem I have had is weight gain"


"Symptoms: Weight gain, weight gain, weight gain, overall body pain, bloating, dizziness, tiredness...After years of taking this medication, I became extremely miserable and had to backtrack to find the cause. I rated this a 10 because it is an effective birth control for many reasons. Plus side: Symptoms disappear after you stop this medication."


"I have been on trinessa for about 8 months now.  It has done a great job at preventing pregnancy and it also has cleared up my face a lot!  People have even noticed and told me how much better my skin looks.  I do feel like the pill does make me more emotional and more moody.  I use to never get cramps and now I get them on the first day of my period.  Also, my boobs have not gotten any bigger :/  Overall I think the pill does its job and I'm happy about that!"


"I took  Harvonie last year.  This drug was great and did not have it so far little over 6 months.  I have cirrhosis of the liver but no hep C.  The hep c is all gone"


"Reading some of these reviews has made me feel SO much better.  I started this BC about 6 months ago, and while my acne/face was certainly not perfect beforehand, it has gotten SOOOOO MUCH WORSE since starting this.  Horrible, huge, painful cystic acne - repeatedly, especially on the cheeks.  I do not wear makeup at all, so no reason for my pores to be this oily and clogged.  Honestly, I am about to just stop taking it, it's really not worth it for me (especially as I'm on it for acne and period maintenance and don't even have a partner at the moment).  I've been on several other types of BC over my lifetime - Yaz, Yasmin, Gianvi, Ventura, probably others way back in the day.  Absolutely none of those made my face look as bad as this."


"Ended up in the hospital with low hemoglobin and almost needed blood transfusion.my periods were never normal b4 but with this pill yhey never stopped. I bled for 2 months and was so weak i couldnt go to school or do anything but lay in the bed cramps were so bad and i bled through every overnight pad daily. At the time i was 15. Never again took them."


"Had a chronic cough for 1 month  that over the counter medicines wouldn't stop and even prescription syrups wouldn't stop. I went through 4 bottles of syrup before going on Tussicaps - stopped my cough in less than 24 hours. It came with a side effect of drowsiness which was fine for me because I hadn't slept in over a month due to the cough. Great medication."


"Tegretol (carbamazepine) and Caflam plus Toredole injections when my pain is out of control and I am screaming.
I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia (TGN) last week and after that, two MRIs followed showing a clear report apparently.
Tegretol initially helped me for a day and then the pain returned. I was put on Zegap, Phlogen and Ansaid but nothing controlled my pain. I was and I am still taken to emergencies everyday, twice. In emergencies, the inject Toredole and that tamed the pain. But now it tames the pain in my temples only. The pain in my jaw and teeth at the right side ache a lot :( My doctor says, surgery i sthe only solution to the this sort of advance level pain and even if the pain comes back, it won't before TEN years. I doubt :("


"I was prescribed this from my dermatologist for my acne. I have been using it for the past 2 months and even though my acne is getting better I don't think they're all gone yet. The positive of this drug is I haven't seen any side effects. Make sure you drink a lot of water though.

I'll come back and give it a better rating once my acne is totally gone."


"After reading several of these posts I decided to leave mine. I have severe GERD. My doctor after prescribing several different medicines gave me samples of Dexilant. Ever since then my life has changed for the better. At first I was taking 30mg twice a day then I went to 60mg once daily. Never had I been prescribed more than 60mg total daily. I have read that others were taking way more and more frequently. I think they might want to get a second opinion on dosages. I was on Dexilant for several yrs with NEVER having any side effects. I recently had corrective surgery and hope to never be on meds again for this condition. I would absolutely recommend Dexilant to anyone in need of this kind of medication."


"I have three herniated discs C4-C7, cervical kyphosis, spinal stenosis and am taking robaxin 500mg twice a day along with MS Contin 15mg ER. I've been on soma and Valium for my muscle spasms related to the kyphosis. I was just put on Robaxin by a new pain management doctor. It doesn't do anything to help my muscle spasms. I'm very disappointed with this medicine. I've been on flexeril and skelaxin but those didn't work for me either. I can't take baclofen because I have epilepsy. I'm hoping my pain management doctor will let me just get back on the soma so I can get some relief from my awful muscle spasms."


"I was taking Atenolol which wasn't working as well as it should but was keeping my Blood Pressure in somewhat reasonable range. Doctor switched me to Enalapril, hoping it would work better than the Atenolol. It didn't. Blood Pressure went up and stayed very high, pulse also went up and stayed high as well. Had some mild fainting spells as well. I'm sure it works for some people, but not for me."


"This has to be the best medication (at least for me) for bipolar disorder, paranoia and anxiety. I have had bipolar episodes since my teens, now in my 30s and every time I have a bipolar episode, this medication almost works instantly, and what I mean by works instantly is snaps me out of my mania and unwanted thoughts quickly. It does take a few weeks to work fully but if you are someone who suffers from bad mania, this is the right medication for you. Luckily, I did not experience bad side effects from this medication. I have had some muscle stiffness in my neck, some twitching and muscle spasms and slight weight gain. Also, my menstrual cycle was thrown off. Also, it helped my somatic symptoms and I was able to live my life again A+++med"


"It was the first time I had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy. I was quite anxious about possibly feeling pain. Not at all. Simply perfect. Three seconds is all I can remember after being given the propofol. Woke up in recovery room two hours later feeling perfectly normal, no pain at all and totally lucid."


"Works great for me, with no side effects. I went from 140-150s/90-105 to 120/80 or better within 48 hours. I take biso2.5/hctz6.25. Less is better with this med for me, which l love."


"Only thing I've found that works, and keeps me able to work."


"I took it and I just feel awful pain and like my back is in pain and I just wanted to throw up but the pain was so intense I couldn't breathe."


"I took this BC for 9 months. The only issues were period cramping and it made me emotional. Otherwise it lighten my period, didn't cause breakouts or weight gain. Also didn't get pregnant.
And I liked the packaging."


"I have recently decided to start Wellbutrin after 2 years on Zoloft. Although I felt the Zoloft worked well there were some unfortunate side effects. I asked my doctor if I could give Wellbutrin a try (I had also recently picked up smoking again so I mentioned that). Well here's the good news....my mood has remained stable (I simultaneously tapered off the Zoloft). I have been better able to focus at work, cigarettes tasted disgusting and I have noticed a decease in my desire to engage in compulsive activities. The cons...food doesn't really taste all that great, I'm extremely thirsty and I was initially a little on edge at first (this has since gone away). The other surprising effect was a marked improvement in sexual response."


"I've had my Implanon in for about 3 months now and I really like it so far. I've had no weight gain that wasn't my own fault, im not irritable, I spot from time to time but nothing major. Before this I had been on Depo for about 2 years and I did really well with that one also. I would suggest that you try Depo before you get the insert because they have similar side affects. If you do well with Depo you will do well with the insert."


"This has made such a difference to my life. It is like the "voice" that continues to tell me I am too fat and that all the "bad" things in life would be better if only I were thinner, has weakened. It is still there but I don't have to listen, if fact I can even ignore it. What a relief. It has made me realize just how much time I was spending listening to all the negative thoughts, planning the food, covering up the vomiting. I finally feel "normal" what a relief."


"I went through a life threatening situation. I couldn't sleep, eat nor get my body out of flight fight mode no matter all that I tried (yoga, meditation, accupuncture, herbal remedies) I got sick and tired of the every day battle with my mind and body so I sought medical help. It was the best thing I ever did! Cipralex took 6 weeks to kick in @5mg dose (I took clonazepam to counter the increased anxiety side effects for first 2 weeks). I got brain zaps, spacey headed, sleepy and had dry mouth. It all went away within 3 weeks. I Took it for a year.. A slow wean is key to minimize coming off side effects. I did it over  4 months. It takes time to build up on your system, don't give up as weeks 1-4 are rough. After that, you reap the benefits"


"I started using this product when I was about 15 and used it for almost a year.  This medication made my skin extremely sensitive to sun. If I did not take this medication with food, I would feel like I was going to throw up.  Doxycycline was effective for controlling my acne, but the side effects did not make it a realistic choice.
I have switched to using birth control pills for controlling my acne.  I have found that they are equally as effective as doxycycline, and I am no longer as prone to sunburns.  I also do not suffer from nausea from birth control.
Overall, I have found birth control pills to be more compatible for my body, more useful (in their many purposes), and more convenient."


"I have been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for about 9-10 years other than when I got off of it to have my 3 children.  I never had any weight gain, acne problems, and never had any heavy bleeding. I had a light period and occasional moodiness but nothing out of the ordinary.  BUT! I have noticed a SEVERE lack of sex drive!!  As in no sex drive at all, nothing, notta, zero, zilch!!  This is a great pill to take if you don't care to have a sex life and are not married."


"Chantix is a miracle drug. On my quit day after eight hours I realized that I had not smoked the whole entire day. It is a miracle drug. Thank you"


"I have full body RSD. (CRPS). I started taking opiates for the first time, 10mg of Methadone 2x's a day since Oct of 2015. Linzess high dose never really worked. I tried Movantik and it worked the first day. After that, horrific abdominal pain and cramping. Almost couldn't drive when it hit me when I went to Vote here in Florida. This drug is garbage. Expensive garbage. Try it, but be careful. Don't get your hopes up."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"This stuff is nasty. Tastes like grape syrup. I hate grape and I hate sweet stuff so it was really hard for me to drink. I was gagging and took forever on the first dose but couldn't quite finish. Now it's the morning dose and I didn't breathe from my nose or smell it and I mixed it with Powerade. Much better but my stomach starts bubbling as soon as I drink and it's a lot of liquid so I had to stop before throwing up. Definitely clears you out but it is horrible."


"At first I hated it because it didn't give me the energy of Vyvanse and I desperately wanted my Dr. to switch me back. After a couple of weeks I realized that even though I was a little tired and not really focused I was calm and happy. This medication doesn't really do much for my ADD but it eases my anxiety that I always have had. I've tried many other medications and nothing worked for anxiety except for this one. It feels great to be calm and not worried about nonsense. Hope it keeps working for a long time to come."


"Wonderful drug but watch out for medication interactions.  Developed Serotonin Syndrome when doctor prescribed Ultram (Tramadol) for pain relief. Caused involuntary muscle spasms, difficulty speaking, walking, etc.  Even looked like I had a stroke.  I tapered off it shortly after and tried other drugs to help with anxiety, depression and PMDD.  I have since come back to Prozac because it works well for me as long as I make sure not to take tramadol or other drugs that can interact with it.  I experience weight loss with this drug. Have tons of energy and sleep well at night."


"I woke up Thursday morning with a sore throat and then became achy, fatigued and feverish as the day went on. The next morning (Friday) I went to see my doctor and was given a swab test and it came back positive for Influenza A. He prescribed me Tamiflu and I took the first dose around noon Friday and the second dose at about 11pm. When I woke up Saturday morning my fever was gone and the aches were very mild. By Saturday I began to regain energy and was able to move about the house without having to lay down every 5 minutes. By Sunday morning nearly all symptoms had left. Tamiflu truly worked for me and caused little to no side effects."

"I am a 17 year old girl. I weight 125 pounds,and am 5'5''. I have been on this medication for about 4 days now. I like it, but at the same time, I don't. This is the first birth control I have ever been on. So, I have been having mild nausea and headaches, but nothing else. I started this birth control with 4 days left in my period. It ended on time, and was very light for the last day or two. I take it around bedtime, but since I get that sick feeling, it keeps me from falling asleep easily. But don't feel discouraged. Once I fall asleep, I am knocked out for the night. It's great and then I wake up in the morning again, and feel sick, but it should get better after month 3. "


"I had my IUD put in over 3 months ago. About 36 hours after, I went in the sun and immediately broke out in hives! Mostly on my face and they were itchy as hell. I called my gyno and she assured me it was IMPOSSIBLE that the IUD caused the hives. I took Benadryl and they mostly went down. I still get hives every time I'm exposed to sun/heat. About a month in I started having more & more trouble having a BM which wasn't the case before the IUD. I drink plenty of water and eat fibrous foods regularly. I'm CONSTANTLY irritated and emotional, I get acne more than ever, and the constant spotting is becoming annoying. I feel gross, itchy, tired, and bloated every single day and truly don't even feel like myself. I'm getting this thing out Thursday"


"I was having horrible tingling and pain in my legs and feet because of Diabetes.  But I took 1 pill, and within a few hours the pain and tingling were gone, I felt more relaxed and calm, it's wonderful!  I feel normal!"


"I've been on Lysteda for 6 months and it really has saved my sanity. I didn't want to jump the gun with a review as I've had birth control pills work for a month or 2 then suddenly my period would come back as bad, if not worse, and lasted once for 41 days! The bleeding and clotting sending me to the bathroom every 30-45 mins has stopped, no more getting up in the middle of the night or changing the sheets at 4am and I've been very lucky with no side effects. 6 pills a day is a lot but considering the alternative of unstoppable bleeding, I happily take them.  It's not a total miracle, I still have "heavy" days those would've been a good day for me in the past.  It's worth it, I'm very happy with it."


"This medication i was on for 6 months no side effects other than it nearly killed me. I got blood clots in both my lungs, multiple that is was hospitalized had to be on watfarin for 6 months and do lovenox shots til my levels were at 2.0 twice. It sucked. I had shortness of breath and rapid breathing/high bp. Dont mess with these symptoms...i had no pain with mine..i am very lucky..age 25 when this happened. I have been off warfarin no birth control ever again. After all the testing it confirmed it was necon 1/50 that gave me clots. Get medical help right away"


"I'm 18 years old and I started this birth control 3 months ago. I went on birth control specifically for my acne and my irregular periods. This birth control did the exact opposite of helping my acne. In the beginning I broke out extremely on my forehead and hair line. They aren't even pimples just huge bumps and you can't do anything about. It is my 3rd month taking it and I'm still breaking out. I absolutely do not recommend this birth control for the use of acne. However, this did make my period very consistent, extremely light, and barely any cramps"


"Started taking for back pain took two doses and ended up in hospital with halucinations, dizziness, and feeling faint. Shortly after that my body started shaking uncontrollably from the inside making my legs feel like I had ran for days. "


"I have been taking Zoloft for about 7 years after a serious bout of depression. I began on a 50 mg dose and was recently upped to 200 mg. It helped with depression, but left me feeling very 'numb'. I started taking Pristiq about a month ago. I feel more normal than I have in years. I have experienced no side effects. I know everybody is different and not all SSRI's or SNRI'S work the same for everyone, but Pristiq has definitely helped me feel better than I have in a very long time. It's worth a try."


"Suffering from daily and day-long anxiety and occasional panic attacks, Lexapro 10mg definitely made a difference within less than a month.  I wasn't as anxious or worrisome all the time and my patience was much better. Because it's also for depression, I also found a change in my mood for the best.  Unfortunately, after a few months on it, I plateaued, so I guess.  I've tried weaning myself off very slowly in a span of 3 months at least 3 times.  Each time, I get the brain zaps, which can be a bit cool but gets annoying.  After a few days of that comes the manic psychosis.  I get so ramped up and irritable and argumentative...it goes away within 24 hrs of taking a dose.  SO here I am, still taking it."


"I've had the Nuva ring before this nexplanon implant and
I ended up pregnant so after I had my daughter I received my implant on July 25th,2016. I bled the first 4 months non stop. Almost a year later my period comes every two weeks but the fact is it takes about 11 days for it to stop which gives me about a 3 day of no bleeding. I see why it's so highly effective and so called recommended you can't be intimate at all without fear of bleeding my fiance will not touch me at all not - even on my 3 day break cause he is afraid to hurt me cause even when I'm off my period I get the worst stomach cramps on the plus side HEYY IM NOT PREGNANT!!!"


"It did relieve my depression and anxiety for the most part, but I really had some awful side effects with this drug, the worst of which was that it affected my short term memory. I got to the point where I could not remember the simplest things. This became noticeable after about 6 months of use. I also believe it caused cystic acne and hair loss (both of which ceased after getting off of it). Caused some weight gain too (but every antidepressant I have taken does it seems). I had to get off of it. My memory has thankfully returned back to normal. Wish it had worked better for me."


"My experience has been almost entirely negative.

Pros: Fuller breasts, effective at preventing pregnancy

Cons: Spotting and heavy bleeding, cramps, irritability, fatigue, cannot stop eating McDonald's... weight gain concentrated in the "mom-gut" region

I began spotting during the first week. This lasted several weeks, some days barely there, other days heavy. It stopped for barely a week, and then started again. During the second month, I basically started a period, going from light spotting to a light period. During week 6 I started a full-blown heavy period. Week 7 - intense cramping started. I started week 9 this week... but I have just had it. There is no end in sight, it seems. Into the trash it goes."


"I just started this pill and so far I've noticed that I have been very moody and my period has become much heavier so far. The moodiness has really affected me and my boyfriend because I start fights over the dumbest things. I'm going to give this a few months and if nothing changes I'm going to have to switch."


"I have mixed feelings about Skyla. The people were right when they said getting in was painful. Hands down one of the top worst feelings ever. Still get period, still get cramps. But..... I never got never got pregnant and that is great."


"I have been on Aviane for 5 months now. First few months were great, no side-effects. Maybe I was slightly moody right before getting my period during the first month of starting the pill, but that's pretty much it. I experienced minimal spotting the 2nd month. However, I am now switching to Yaz because this month I missed taking the pill by 1 hour, only 1 hour, and it caused me to have spotting, then resulted in getting my period while still taking active pills. I was concerned so I think the dose may be too light for me. But, I definitely recommend giving it a try, it may work for you. No weight gain, no mood swings, improved but didn't get rid of acne but this can also be related to the fact that the dose was too low for me."


"I loved it. No sexual side effects and it worked great for about 6 months then I started noticing that I would get very irritable after taking it. I went off for a bit and now back on for winter and seems to be fine now."


"I  just got put on this at a 5 mg 3x a day and today was my first dose I pray this is the answer cause feeling sweaty and there's nothing you can do to stop makes me feel nasty I cant even stand for my Husband to hug or touch me and god forbid I go into a public place it's embarrassing  I read the success stories and I hope it works for me like them ! Thank you all for your input"


"This product surely works! As an unlucky student, we wear uniforms. And my condition isn't helping me to boost my self-confidence to make friends or to do the things that a person without Hyperhidrosis can. I've seen a lot of reviews that Drysol can cause itchiness but I don't have this kind of problem so I am very thankful. I don't know why but the product didn't react to me like that. (Maybe I should ask my dermatologist) I am really happy with the result!!"


"This drug worked for me the first week then stopped working. After being in the hospital for 3 weeks for a bowel obstruction, they began giving me generlac. When I got out of the hospital, I combined the two after each not working on its own and now it works perfectly. If I have an appt and I know I'll be out, I won't take it because it generally starts working within an hour of after eating. Sometimes it gives me diarrhea but it's better than the alternative. I also struggle with chronic pancreatitis and this combo of meds helps"


"The medication works well, but the cost is to much. I can not afford this medication at all."


"Ineffective for me. Used as prescribed by the dermatologist in combination with Ziana. Had the sensation of burned skin for one week. Only destroyed my skin not the acne. I stopped using it after 2 weeks. Acne was hormonal and cured by itself. "


"Headaches, dizzy, nausea."


"THIS STUFF IS HORRIBLE. DO NOT USE IT!!!

My girlfriend started using this (prescribed by doctor) for an ear infection (swimmers ear), and reported extremely painful symptoms when using this stuff. Now, she can't hear anything out of her ear.

I'm so freaking mad that the doctor prescribed this medicine.

DO NOT USE!!"


"I only had one shot in august 2016. I did not go back for my second shot I had a really bad experience on the depo, from hair fall, weight gain, depression to lower sex drive, all in the first 3 months of using this. Even though I didn't go back I'm still bleeding everyday, it's not heavy bleeding but it still takes a lot of money out of your pocket to constantly buy buy pantyliners. This week I started to get this bubbly feeling in abdomen, lower back pain, gassiness, constipation.  So I'm going to a doctor to get it checked out it. Could have turn into something much serious as I started to bleed more. I would not recommend this shot or even the implanon."


"Zyrtec works well in combating allergies as well as allergic rhinitis. The best I've found.I take at night about an hour before bedtime and sleep like a baby all night. Love it. First time in years I can say I feel great and not congested from allergies."


"I never really believed I would quit smoking. I loved smoking. I wanted to live longer and that is the only reason I wanted to quit. I chose option 3 plan on chantix 84 days to quit, you just cut in half each month. I had a lot of nausea so I took 1/2 dosage for 3 weeks. At end of 3 weeks I went from 2 packs a say to 7-8 cigs a day. Started full dose at this time and ate before taking that helped nausea, had a lot of weird dreams but slept better on chantix. Today is my stop date and I fully quit  almost a month ago before my stop date. I have never felt as proud as I am right now, I did it. I just had to get past the first 2 weeks then it was smooth sailing. I let chantix do the work. Thanks chantix"


"It works, but not without commitment to quit abusing drugs."


"I have been taking this medication for 12 days now. Sometimes I have diarrhea  the morning after I take it, sometimes I don't . Have had a headache for five of those days. Sometimes I get extremely nauseated after I take it, but it passes in about an hour. Sometimes I sweat .  The first few days I felt like my breathing was better. Now , I'm not so sure.  I have lost 7 pounds in 12 days. This medication suppresses your appetite and for me totally took away my craving for sweets .  A good thing I guess, as long as I don't lose over about 15 lbs ."


"I have used BV drugs twice please yeast infection in between .  Still have BV ."


"Best things stabilize my mood."


"Excellent medicine in my experience.

I've been taking it about 6 months. I'm now working and going to school full time. Anxiety has improved significantly, almost to pre-illness levels. I feel great cognitively (creative, zero psychotic symptoms, memory seems pretty sharp).

Although I've never really gained weight on Risperidone for 2 years was relatively weight neutral. I've actually lost 5-10 lbs. since taking Latuda, pretty much without trying.

The one minor annoyance would have to be that it requires 350 calories for full absorption and it puts me to sleep about an hour after taking it. I end up eating a small meal/snack before bed every night (yogurt, nuts, etc.)."


"I have been using this product every night for a year, and see absolutely no difference in my acne. I still have breakouts, and oily skin all the time"


"A month ago I had a hysterectomy.  The hot flashes started immediately.  After 3 weeks of it the doctor gave me Evamist wish I had talked with him sooner. What a wonderful life saver it is.  Hot flashes are down to a minimum so I can at least sleep at night and breakout into dripping sweats at the office."


"Hello all,

I never really write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience with Skyla. After taking months to decide on which birth control method I wanted to use, I decided on an IUD as I don't plan on having children in my near future. I liked the idea of not having to take a pill everyday and some women's periods become lighter and some women stop getting their period all together.. (sign me up!). I got my Skyla inserted in March after my gyno recommended it. During the insertion, I experienced severe pain. I've broken my wrist in the past and the orthopedic surgeon had to pop my bone back into place while I wasn't on any pain medication and the pain I experienced during the IUD insertion was almost on that level."


"My friend has been on Clozaril (Clozapine) for nearly 18 years.  He went more than 10 years without having a single psychotic breakdown, which only occurred when he lowered the dosage himself.  Even though the medicine makes him feel fatigued he has been able to hold down a 40hr/wk job.  Nothing short of a God-given miracle!"


"This is my second attempt at withdrawing. My first attempt was back in February of 2016 from hydromorphone tabs 1mg x 16 a day. I went cold turkey and had no help except I used a bit of information from the Thomas recipe it was a bit helpful but my experience was horrific for a solid week. I started taking OxyContin 5/325mg a couple of months later cuz I couldn't take the pain and now I'm up to 10 a day and in a mess again. I went to the ER and asked for help with detoxing they gave me clonidine and lorazepam and I have to say I'm starting day two of the withdraw and I'm not feeling totally myself but their is less sweats and chills, the anxiety is almost nil. It's really helped me. i am even able to talk to people without any anxiety."


"I have been all the way up to 150-200 mg with 30 mg breakthru.  I really had a life then but wasn't really "there".   I couldn't find any doctor in my area to presribe fentenyl so all I got was 15mg oxycodone and that's it. I have a 30 degree curve in back, left hip damage, Crohn's disease and now colon cancer.  I'm back on them but only at 50 mg every 72 hours.   It's a joke.  The DEA here is cruel to people that truly need it.   Tolerance included, I don't absorb oral meds but do receive very few 15's for break thru.  I am waiting for a pain pump once my colon is removed but can I make it?  I'm angry, depressed and want to just sleep without screaming."


"MIGRAINE SUFFERERS BEWARE: this medication took my migraine condition to another level of pain and frequency. The worst part is that my doctor did not share with me that Zoloft can make migraines worse before I started the medication. I had at least 2-3 days every week that not only was I completely incapacitated by the pain of them (something typical with migraines) to the point that I could not go to class, but the vomiting and nausea was relentless. I lost 15 pounds on this medication after taking it for just 6 weeks because of the vomiting from migraines. I went to the hospital toward the end of trying Zoloft because of dehydration and the worst pain I've felt in my life from the migraines this caused. be careful if you have migraines"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"Have almost been on Safyral for a year and I love it. I used to have really heavy periods, but I know exactly when I am going to start (usually a Tuesday night to Wednesday morning) and I know I'll stop on Sunday. It's lighter. I have noticed that sometimes my bad cramps I used to have are starting to return. It has definitely kept the babies away which is the reason I went on the birth control and will continue to keep using it."


"After trying numerous SSRI's and mood stabilizers and ready to give up, I tried Lexapro. It was new and just on the market. I love it. It has completely turned me around. I'm normal again. Its good for anxiety too. No bad side effects. No weight gain. Its wonderful to have finally found a medicine that actually works. I hope it never stops working."


"This site provided information not on the bottle.  For example, taking it with 4 oz. of water.  It was yukky to drink straight."


"I have suffered from generalized anxiety disorder for longer than I care to remember.  Went through too many anti-depressants that all failed.  I was told the Buspar was an "oldie but goodie."  I was reluctant to even try another pill and was of the notion that drinking wine was going to be my alternate choice, (which I didn't care to start).  Buspar has been my answer.  It's brought calm into my life.  I recommend this "magic pill.""


"I have a chronic problem with yeast, [ Candida ]  It was causing skin irritation on the back upper part of my leg, which turned into sores from sitting [ wheelchair ], so I was stuck in bed a lot. While I admit that it was 98% healed when I heard about GV, but for the short time I used it it did help. WARNING wear a rubber glove when applying, it ''will' stain your skin, clothes, etc.

The friend that told me about GV used it on her grandsons ''thrush/mouth'' n it cleared it in 30 min.    Be sure n do your research, n read directions/recommendations b4 using any new medications."


"My doctor gave me Linzess samples and so far it is helping alot. I dont have as much discomfort in my stomach, and less burping and farting. However I did have a VERY embarrassing situation happen when I was walking my dogs one morning, I had no feeling I had to go at all, and just coughed, and out came a liquid mess. SO...overall I like the medicine but the diarrhea can be severe and unexpected. I have never had this happen before!"


"I had a very serious dry eye condition that showed up after all my cancer treatments were completed. I had no idea what was happening to me other than a red bubble appeared in one eye. My eye doctor suggested TheraTears 4x day plus taking nutrition product. It cleared up and to this day, I only use TheraTears in my eyes. Florida's allergy season is all year round for me and my eyes. It's great and the only drops to go in my eyes. It was suggested that I buy the individual vials as for some reason contamination is a factor I have to keep in mind for my eyes. I have not had dry eye since. Thank you TheraTears and I love the coupons."


"I have an undiagnosed muscular condition coupled with JRA and borderline personality disorder. I only just started baclofen a week ago, 10mg 3x a day. I don't think  I've ever NOT felt pain-- it's amazing. My pain level was so high all the time and it helped with the overall/daily pain as well as the cramping. Only downsides being that I appear to have side effects like dizziness, confusion, balance problems, and worsening psychotic symptoms. I've experienced some low-level hallucinations/spatial distortions (floor looks like it's moving or the walls are breathing) which is more confusing that concerning. Only downsides to this medicine besides sleeping (which I love as an insomniac)!"


"I'm 58 and sometimes have a hard time (no pun) getting hard.
I took it 3 times and it worked every time and lasted long time. "


"I suffer from COPD. When I get a respiratory infection of any kind it is a big problem. When I take Avelox the symptoms are gone before they get out of hand, 2 or 3 doses and I feel great again. Personally, I have not experienced any side effects. Have used the drug 3 times now."


"Skelaxin seems to be great. I have taken about 3 days (800mg prescribed 3 x daily). I have even taken on empty stomach (bold move) and walked through a grocery store. It worked great. I was not "foggy" or drunk feeling. I have taken it at work and have not noticed adverse side effects except a slight headache. Nothing good is without some trade-off. I recommend this for those who need daytime/night-time pain relief and do want to feel "doped up" like other muscle relaxers can do."


"I was recently diagnosed with type 2 BP in July of 2016. I was on Lamictal at first and it was a nightmare, It kept me from being sad but I would still get very angry. Seroquel was next and I was too scared to take it at first, but once I started having a LOT of heated arguments and stress I finally decided to take it. So far so good, I only take 25mg because is chills me out and eases my anxiety. I don't get sad and I don't get overly mad or excited. First few days I am tired on the meds but after a few days I am able to manage my life. I wish I would have went to a Dr years ago to get treated because since I was 13 my moods have been up and down. Now I'm as chill as a cucumber."


"It got worse on this"


"I have NEVER had a problem with acne and this pill made my skin break out like no other. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone."


"I am on my third day of using this and I am up at 5 am from being awoken by the constant itching and burning this is giving me !!! The sensation is completely unbearable and I feel as though my vagina is on fire !!!! I don't know if I had an allergic reaction to this but this is bad !!!"


"I have been on this pill for close to 7 months now. I started having sex with my husband around month 3 when we got married and I noticed a decrease in sex drive, a few heavy period days and a few light period days but they were always during the placebo week. I feel hungry at night and in the mornings, and crave sweets more than ever. My weight has been pretty stable. I had a few yeast infections and vaginal dryness and nothing sucks more than telling your husband you can't because it hurts too much within the first month of marriage!!"


"I came to talk about the insertion, which happened about a week ago. I got myself all scared beforehand watching reaction videos but it was totally fine. The doctor prescribed to me some xanax beforehand so I was more relaxed but it didn't hurt at all. It was a little uncomfortable but I actually laughed at the cramping because it didn't hurt. It kinda felt cool. Don't be afraid!"


"This birthcontrol works great. I've been taking it near 8 years now & no problems. It may be of contributed to a few lbs but not much else. Lessened my periods from 7-11 days of heavy flow to 4-5 days & relatively light. My skin hasn't really changed & it does not contribute to any emotional changes."


"I wrote a review here a few months ago when I was starting my third week on Accutane. And now I am starting my 4th month and its going great. I had mentioned a bunch of side effects before and now the only side effect is chapped lips and dry skin. My face actually feels like a face now and I can actually feel my skin instead of a million dry bumps. I did breakout only on my forehead at the beginning but it only lasted about 2-3 weeks, then I would get a pimple every now and then but now I don't even get pimples anymore. I cant even imagine how much more flawless my face can get. I hope it affects everyone else in a positive way too."


"I have been using Vaniqa for 2 years now.  I love it. It is a bit pricey but well worth every penny.  I apply it twice a day morning and night.  Continue shaving plucking or whatever you do but you will notice you will be doing it much less now. I don't know what I would do without this product.  Good luck!"


"I had sex 2 days after my period on Jan. 21 & he had a condom on but  we saw the condom broke after. I took the pill 10 hours later & had slight nausea but was super tired & loss my appetite. 5 days after taking the pill I bled lightly for a couple days. After this, my waiting time until my projected period was so stressful bc I started to feel nauseas on feb. 5.. After 1 week of nausea my breasts became swollen and I thought it was my period that was about to come on feb. 11. I noticed my mood swings change drastically & I could've sworn I was pregnant... But to my delight I woke up this morning Feb. 18 to my period!!! It worked for me & I hope it works for you all too. Just don't stress bc you'll probably make yourself feel nauseous like I did"


"What you read about Lunesta's taste is so right. Lunesta is GROSS. Is took about 20 minutes for the "taste" that everyone complains about to show up. It did not help me sleep at all. I was half awake all night and when I was asleep I was having weird dreams. It's 12 hours later and every time I sip water or anything it still tastes like I chewed a tylenol or something. "Bitter" or "metallic" taste is an understatement. Did not work, tasted horrible. If I could give this back to the pharmacy I would. Back to Ambien for me."


"Doesn't work at all.  I've been getting cold sores for my entire life and my mom always got me Areva because it's supposed to be "the best" but it never worked- just a waste of money.  It makes your cold sore very gooey and gross.  I highly recommend Campho-Phenique Cold Sore Treatment which is a little less than $4 and works wonders."


"I started using this medication for GAD and for depression. I started off with 5mg for two weeks and gradually worked my way up to 20mg. The first week of side effects was terrible: insomnia, nausea, mood swings, upset stomach. But I continued taking it as recommended. I used it for about six months and saw no positive changes. I experienced many suicidal thoughts, strange dreams, sleepless nights, sleeping too much, and crazy mood swings. This almost caused my boyfriend and I to break up. I would not recommend it, but it may work for someone else. I am on an SSNRI (different family: Effexor) now and have no side effects."


"I have been a nurse since 1984 and a paramedic since 1990. In New Orleans,in 1993, while working on an ambulance, I became nauseated and began vomiting. Went home,changed ,had someone drive me 2 ER @ a Hospital in Harahan(nice subdivision.) I expected 2 get the usual treatment of IV Saline and the SAFE anti-emetic Phenergan. I told the ER DOC I was VERY ALLERGIC 2 REGLAN.  He injects me with Inapsine(Droperidol) because he wants  to see  how it worked - even though people with allergy to Reglan should NEVER be given Inapsine. I had already been declared clinically dead 2 years prior in a car accident, But was revived. This So-called drug causes Irregular heartbeats. I thought I was going 2 die. It was much worse than actually dying."


"I am a 60 year old female who also takes Lantus and Metformin.  I started the 1.5 dose of Trulicity about a month ago.  I had mild gastrointestinal symptoms at first: flatulence, heartburn and burps that smell like sulpur.  About 10 days ago the side effects got much worse:  abdominal cramping, explosive diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.  I had to call in sick to work twice in the last week.  Sometimes I feel better, but then the symptoms hit out of nowhere.  I have absolutely NO appetite and have to force myself to eat.  Feels like food poisoning.  This morning I had to go to the ER.  They did tests and the doc said it was due to the Trulicity and I should stop taking it.  I used to be on Victoza, which worked fine, but ins. co. won't pay for"


"I like this medication because you can only take one dose and it will last you the entire day as for other medications that you have to take every 4 to 6 hours.  It definitely takes away the pain."


"So my experience with this was not very good. I had it in for maybe 6 months and I was on my period the entire time, which was the most annoying thing ever. Also, it started messing with my emotions. I got really depressed, my anxiety increased, and it just made my personality change. Other than that, it will prevent pregnancy so thats a plus. When I went to my doctor to get it taken out she said the dosage was too high for me. Everyone should try it at least once because everyone's bodies are different so maybe it would workout for others"


"Great. Only downside is the price."


"I first started using Reclipsen about a year ago. The first thing that I noticed was that my libido was noticeably reduced, (which was a bit annoying,) and my overall emotions were dulled a bit, so that I was more indifferent to things than before. (Although I don't particularly mind this, that might be a breaking point for someone else.) I tried Enskyce for a bit, and ended up switching back due to side effects. Reclipsen works better for me, and keeps my periods light and regular. I've never had an issue with weight gain or acne, so that's something to be considered, as well. All in all, I'm happy with it."


"I smoked 35 years before started on Bupropion. I took 150 mg for 3 days,  then took 300 mg for 6 weeks, I quit on day 5.  Quitting was pretty easy, the medication changes the way the cigarettes taste and also you will legitimately forget to smoke.  When I went to stop the Bupropion I eased it back to 150 mg for 3 days and then 150 mg every 2 days for 6 days and 150 mg every 3 days for 6 days.  I had no withdrawals from this drug.  I have successfully quit smoking for 4 months now.  I think about them less and less and have had no physical urges to smoke since the first week I quit.  The Bupropion worked great, my daughter has also quit using this medication.  Highly recommend."


"Just a 54 year old 5'9 244 pound guy. I was considering by pass and was advised by a friend that the surgery is not the answer. Well 13 months later I shed forty nine pounds and feel pretty great. I am up to walking two miles a week and please don't laugh. No big side effects except a little constipation. My doctor is now a believer that this can help. Wish me luck."


"I was very skeptical about trying this pill because it is a generic and I have heard negative things about it.  I have been on it for two months and so far, no weight gain, no nausea, no mood swing, or any other of the reported side effect.  The best part about this pill is that it completely cleared up my cystic acne after only a few weeks.  I have been on a couple of other pills with horrible side effects.  Find the pill that works best with your body.  This one seems to work best with mine."


"I am in the third month of my treatment.  It has helped with the oiliness of my skin, but I still have cysts that are being very stubborn.  "


"After a number of inconvenient and stressful visits to ER where I had an injected dose of flecainide ( which put me back into sinus rhythm) my cardiologist prescribed me 200 mg of Flec tabs plus 50 mg of metropolol  on going into AF. It works a treat reversing me in 1 to 3 hours but I'm hoping doesn't lead to some of the side effects described in other articles on the net."


"My dr put me on Sprintec to regulate me. I have been on it the last year & half. My side effects were tender breasts & mild cramps the week leading up to my period, and then I'd get a headache on the day of my period, which was ok with me as it warns me it was coming. The plus side for me on this pill is my mood swings are gone. It really balances me out. Recently I went to the doctor for a check up, and she suggested a new birth control pill that will aloud me to only have 2 day periods verses the 4 day ones I have with Sprintec, but also, I wouldn't get the sore breasts, etc., plus it is a lower dose. A week & half into it, I was mad at the world and depressed. I am now back on Sprintec. I'd take sore boobs & headache over mood swings any day!"


"This is worst drug i ever took prescribed  for schizotypal personality disorder and major depression by one of my past psychiatrists. I don't even understand how this helps other people at all. The psychiatrist thought it might help me, according to her, it was because I mentioned "anger", which was very black & white of her , um hello...I have severe depression, yet she goes ahead & prescribes me an antipsychotic that shouldn't have been prescribed to someone with depression like me, so
 I go on a very low dose, after three days of walking like a zombie, barely able to keep my eyes open, agitated, worse depression, I developed convulsions when trying to sleep on the 3rd night, screaming, crying in pain, barely able to breath & was rushed to the hospital, given ativan to calm me down, stopped latuda entirely"


"Been on this medicine for a while now and its been a God send. Tried Vesicare at first but that didn't work."


"I have failed all treatments for my migraines. Botox was my absolute last resort. I just went for my 3rd session & have to say it's totally worth it. I've gotten up to 2 full months headache free. It's so wonderful to feel normal again!"


"I had PTSD and arrhythmia and years of seeing psychologists, antidepressants, sedatives, even valproic acid, nothing did much of anything good and the side effects didn't outweigh the minimal improvement (improvement being sedation), when I tried propranolol I wasn't expecting much. I took my first tablet and forgot about it, it kicked in on the train and the effect was profound. For the first time I became aware of how much tension I'd been holding in my muscles, how I'd continuously scan for the possibility of threat, I had no idea I'd been doing this only that I'd felt on edge. I felt like I'd been holding my breath for years and had just been allowed to exhale, nothing else worked for me and I was at the end of my rope, propranolol was a life saver."


"Methotrexate was effective in the beginning for me. After three years of taking 6 pills weekly I contracted Lemierre's Sydrome Disease and Necrotizing Fasciatis (two fatal) diseases. I survived  and do not take any RA medication. I live a healthy meat free and low omega 6 and 9 diet. Also used several supplements to keep immune system healthy but nothing worked. "


"I am 40 years old and I have never taken a AD in my life, however I should have! I have a hip injury and picked up a addiction to opiates along the way! Luckily effexor has helped with the psychological effects of getting off of opiates! I know about all of the horror stories of AD but for me it was the best choice I could have made! I just returned to a very stressful job after a 2 year absence and I don't think my return to work would have been as successful without AD! During my 2 year slump I never used to leave the house, I slept all the time, used to cry at the thot of doing the dishes.....insanity! Luckily the only side effects that I had was the dry mouth and slight headaches in the beginning which went away!"


"I started taking this pill about six weeks ago. The first couple of weeks I had abit of bleeding but I think that was partly my fault, not taking it at exactly the same time each day but since I have and all as been well. My boobs seem quite sensitive but larger, so cannot complain. All in all I cannot fault it, no spots, headaches or noticeable weight gain as yet."


"I have used this pill for the last month, and I just started on my second month. I want to say that I started this pill not on the first day of my period, the reason why I wanted to go on the pill was because my period was irregular. I've lost a total of 10 lbs since starting this pill, and I've noticed that my appetite is a lot smaller now than it was before. I've tried other birth control pills and those always made me eat like a monster, but with this pill, I feel a lot better. The first month is pretty brutal. I had a fever the day after I first started the pill, and then I felt sick with stomach pains for the first couple of weeks, but after the first month, I'm feeling a lot better. Note that everyone's body works differently."


"Took it for 1 year. Hair loss almost stopped. Severe side effects : erection nearly impossible, can't orgasm, very low libido.. I am 2 years off the drug, still have the side effects, nothing helps."


"Horrible pain and Nerve damage in my feet after one pill.  Couldn't walk normally for over a month and had to roll around in a chair.  Turns out I didn't even have the UTI they prescribed it for, but the nerves will still get painful and make walking hard today, which is 6 years later.

I wouldn't recommend taking this unless your infection is life threatening!"


"I had moderate depression, crushing anxiety, and probably fibromyalgia. (I've never pursed fibro testing due to no health insurance.) One week ago I just could not go on. Depression, anxiety, and all-over aches and stiffness stopped me in my tracks. One day on 30 mg Cymbalta and it all cleared up. I could not believe it. It is a miracle for me. I've been on it one full week and am now over the slight nausea, dizziness, and dry mouth. YaY! :-)"


"I'm 19 and I started taking 100mg Vyvanse a day when I was 17. Before Vyvanse I took Focalin. I love Vyvanse except for the fact that it doesnt last for the full 12 hours. When I first started on it, my senior year in high school after I had my daughter. I had never felt so confident. I made high honors and was like smart for the first time. I was capable of being focused of what was only going on in the classroom and didn't have to worry about anything besides school. I just really hated when I would crash because then I would get tired and then didn't feel like really doing anything. I do notice side effects but other then that I think it's worth taking."


"I started Nuvaring about 3 months ago. Before that I had tried two different birth control pills that gave me every possible side effect. I gained 15 pounds, was depressed, angry, had constant headaches, extreme fatigue and for the first time in my life i had cramps!(I had never had cramps before! not even when i got my period for the first time!) I finally went to back to my care provider and picked up some Nuvaring. I noticed changes for the better right away. Im back to my normal self, waking up early, going biking, hiking, and cooking again! I no longer have cramps and im no longer depressed! I even lost 10 pounds!!! (possibly a coincidence...) I wish I could have found the right pill to go on, but nuvaring has treated me well :)"


"I was really excited for Mirena because I suffer from seveer cramps and a very heavy period. This definitely helps that. But my period was irregular, showed up for 2 weeks at a time sometimes, every other week, after sex....there was no rhyme or reason and incredibly annoying. I also had other symptoms that I did not link to Mirena initially until I started doing research and it all made sense. Depression and anger slowly crept in. I chalked it up to being exhausted all the time (another symptom) and not having patience now that I had 2 kids instead of 1. Terrible mood swings. I gained 30 pounds. I always had acne on my chin. My hair thinned terribly. Again, I thought these were from having another baby, but 2 1/2 years later & its the same"


"I'm 21 years old and me & my guy use protection every time. This particular night he got too excited & pulled the condom off. Unfortunately it was the day I ovulated. I'm working and in school so having a baby right now is not in our plans. I went to the pharmacy and got the pill for $50. It was around 3 hours later when I took the pill. I had some cramping and nausea for two days after the pill. My period came on at the usual time 2 weeks later. It was a lot heavier than normal, but I wasn't pregnant. I came here to read reviews before my decision, so I hope my story can help other women or couples."


"Started experiecing pain peeing and went for a quick dip test after blood in urine was strongly apparant. Prescribed Trimethoprim for a week and cleared it up very quickly however it came back. On the sixth day the doctor rang me urgently saying I needed to take these 4 times a day for a week.

No side effects at all. Possible constipation however this could be due to not wanting to eat/doing less exercise. No chest pains or anything and very quickly cleared up any remaining symptoms. Thank you Macrodantin!"


"Been on Topamax for 3 months I have recently gone up on the dose to 75 mg at bedtime. I've been all right dealing with the tingling. I have quit smoking and drinking which is great. I started working out alot since I've been so anxious. Possible side effect?  The worst for me is the sleep issues and the mood swings. Since the dose went up I am having terrible night sweats and am waking up all night long. I'm exhausted all day with little to no motivation. My mood swings quickly and dramatically from happy to annoyed. Just trying to wait it out. I'm still having headaches everyday. Just not migraines."


"Worked fantastic for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that included heart and lung involvement."


"I do feel Clonidine is a highly effective while going through opiate withdrawal. It helps a great deal. I couldn't imagine a detox without it."


"I got Skyla inserted Nov 2016. I'm 28 with no children. I got the insertion because my periods were hell to deal with, bleed for 7 days, I would throw up, bleed everywhere, extra poopy, and deadly PMS.

The insertion was horrible! The insertion took no more than 5 minutes, but afterwards I cramped, bleed heavily, threw up, and had major gas. I had to lay down in another room because I was so weak and felt as if I was going to pass out. Finally got home, cramping and throwing up still.

(Fast Fwd) I bleed, cramped, bleed, bleed, until the end of March 2016. As of today, random spotting, random painful cramps (seriously), PMS, no weight gain,  and a little bit of acne (nothing major). Still better than my period. Good luck to your uterus."


"Diag: Bipolar 2 with predominant depression, plus panic disorder. I have been taking a very low starter dose (25mg) of Lamictal for about 3 weeks. I'm due to up the dose to 50mg now. Aside from my anti-panic emergency medicine and proprananol for blood pressure, I've never "upped" a dose of anything. I typically give up on a medicine for one reason or another (not effective, negative side effects, complicated dosing, cost, etc). Lamictal is a prescription that I intend to up my dose to 50mg though, and will do so gladly. People have commented on a more calm & "mellow" mood, a greater tolerance to stress and irritations, and being more pleasant to others. I'm on a slightly more even keel now & look forward to seeing what's next with increased dose"


"I had a torn hole in colon from this which needed surgery to repair. Over two months to recover. expensive. very dangerious. This should not be over counter purchase it should be only by doctor orders."


"No side effects, works great for tooth infections. I always eat before taking any antibiotics. Not sure why others are having such a difficult time with this med."


"I have been taking YAZ for 8 months now and am very pleased with the results.  I have not gained any weight, my acne cleared up completely, and my periods are shorter and lighter.  The first three months I did experience side effects; migranes, tiredness, breakthrough bleeding just the first month; but other than that, it was fine.  I attribute those first three months to my body getting used to the hormones.  At first I was hesistant to try this birth control because of the horror stories I have read online, but I decided to try it anyway, and I am so happy that I did, because it has been wonderful for me.  I suggest anyone debating on trying it out, to not be discouraged by the reviews, because everybodys body is different."


"Got a 30 day sample from my urologist.  For me, this medicine is wonderful.  Am taking lisinopril and lovastatin.  Was concerned if the medicine helped after the first dose.  And am happy to say that it did.  It worked well after about one hour.  But my most intense erection was about after 6 hours.  No side effects to speak of unless you can say my face seemed flush afterwards.  Just assumed it was working.  Do not have a perpetual erection but can feel that I am on the verge of one for a while.  Couldn't be happier."


"Hardly could walk for 3 years. Been on it for 10 days walking with a lot less pain. Not sure if this medicine did it or higher power but loving life again. I say give a try."


"I take 1000mg two times a day. Taking 325 mg aspirin before I take the Niaspan helps with the flushing. I have been on Niaspan for about 3 years now, my numbers are down 10%. The little bit of flushing I do get is a lot better than the severe joint pain I had with the statin medications. I recommend taking Niaspan. It is working for me."


"Very good at drying the area between the toes. Creams kept the area moist and powders were hard to apply to the infected area without making a big mess."


"I was put on Zanaflex about a six months after my surgery, along with narcotic pain relievers. Zanaflex worked for a while then started giving me muscle spasms. I had to get off of them."


"I am having such a hard time with anti depressants (low tolerance).  I have been on Trintellix for 6 weeks-started on 5 mg currently on 10 mg.  From day one I have had severe side effects: constant nausea, headaches, diarrhea, extreme fatigue, weakness, and restlessness to name just a few.  My mood has been so bad, wanting to crawl out of my skin, crying and very agitated and hostile.

My constant nausea has finally stopped but now I can't eat anything as I feel sick.  I am stopping taking Trintellix as I am concerned about how angry I have become since being on this drug.  I am angry at anything and everything.  Have never had this kind of reaction to any of the other ADs and am worried about how intense the anger is."


"I started with severe panic and anxiety attacks 3 years ago, which honestly made me think I was going crazy, scariest time in my life. I tried Zoloft and Lexapro and both made me feel worse. January 2015 I started Paxil 10mg and worked up to 20mg and honestly felt like my old self again, no longer dealt with the attacks. However, in February 2017 I decided to try Prozac because the Paxil had made me numb to everything and I did gain about 45lbs on it. I have now  been on Prozac for almost 3 months and am waiting to switch back over to the paxil because I feel anxious and irritable on this and miss the paxil. I pray for all of you who deal with this awful disease and pray one day they can find an actual cure for it!!!!!"


"I am 60 years old and a career woman who has always struggled with completing tasks despite working long hours. Had recently succombed to depression and loss of self esteem because I was feeling I was no longer capable of performing my job because of age. Suffered this feeling most of my life,  been in therapy and was usually prescribed antidepressants or SSRI inhibitors to treat my symptoms but never cause of my symptoms. I did not even know adults could suffer from ADD. FINALLY a therapist took the time to treat the cause of my lifelong struggle instead of merely sedating me.  MY LIFE HAS CHANGED!! MY JOB PERFORMANCE AND PERSONAL LIFE HAS IMPROVED. I ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH THINGS.  Why so late in life?"


"I do not like it. Mood swings, lots of bleeding, weight gain and no sex drive."


"I have osteomyolitis /MRSA .  This was Excellent... Great for nausea and definitely gives an appetite without upsetting stomach."
