"I aImost didn't go through after reading these reviews. I have had Liletta for about 2 months. I have no tolerance for pain whatsoever. I took a tramadol 2 hours before my appointment. My doctor advised that it would be painful for a short while especially since I have never been pregnant. She was very good during the insertion about letting me know when pain would occur. It was very painful for about 3-4 hours. After that, it was similar to my normal cramps for 2 days. I spotted for the first 4 days just enough for a panty liner, not even a pad, and have not had any spotting since. I have had no issues with my boyfriend and the strings or being dry "down there" as I have read with some others. My sex drive has increased since having it."


"I am 22 and I been on since I was 21, I havent had a period since I have been on, which is fine but my sex drive is out the window. Haven't had sex with my boyfriend in 6 weeks and we live together. I'm just not in the mood AT ALL. Also I notice I have been dry and that has never been the case. Also a lot of weight gain and no matter how much I exercise it wont come off. I also feel like my feet keeps growing. Its perfect for effectiveness but its the price you pay so to each its own. Different bodies react different ways so my story may not be yours."


"My GP Doctor changed  my blood pressure medicine from 5mg Amlodipine Besylate/50mg Metoprolol to 5mg Lisinopril/50mg Metoprolol to protect my kidneys.  Over a forty day period my Lisinopril dosage was increased in stages from 5mg to 40mg in an attempt to get the same BP results I had with Amlodipine.  Prior to taking Lisinopril my blood pressure was around 135/75.  As the amount of Lisinopril was increased my blood pressure kept increasing. After 40 days it was around 175/85 (maximum 200/100).  I take my blood pressure 3 -4 times per day.   I experienced increased confusion, tiredness, dizziness, weakness and constipation as the dosage of Lisinopril was increased. I went back on Amlodipine and made an appointment with my Cardiologist."


"THIS medicine works."


"I've suffered with Meniere's/vestibular neuritis for over 37 years and it has cast a dark shadow over my quality of life.  The only medicine that has helped me to live with the episodes (loss of balance, vertigo, dis-equilibrium) has been valium.  Because valium suppresses the central nervous system, it helps me to cope."


"swelling of tissue above eyelids"


"Horrible side effects! I tried Ciprelex (escitalopram), but made me so tried all the time. My doc switched me to Pristiq (desvenlafaxine), I had 0 side effects, but I couldn't afford the $105 price each month without a generic brand or drug plan. Doc switched me to Effexor claiming it was "very similar to Pristiq, and available in a generic" however I had the WORST insomnia at night. Trouble falling and staying asleep at night- would wake up every hour with mind racing. Dry mouth throughout the day no matter how much water I drank. Also, very fidgety feet and legs while sitting or laying in bed. I was exhausted all day everyday, yet continued waking up several times throughout the night. Went back to my doc, and switched back to Pristiq."


"Was one of the only medicines that worked for my pneumonia. It was administered via IV for 3 weeks 2x a day but it worked."


"I have been on Enbrel for 15 years and it has been a life changer.  I was literally pain free.  Until about a year ago, shortly have the injection I started feeling nauseous, thought maybe it was something I ate but I have since tracked it and every single time to give myself an injection I get nauseated and it lasts for about 36 hours.  Has something in the formula of Enbrel changed??  I'll take being nauseated any day over the pain."


"I went on this pill when I got into my first serious relationship.  I've tried other birth control pills before and had to go off of them because of weight gain. When I finally got back on the pills, I thought it was great because my periods were always regular, I had no weight gain, and my skin was flawless.  But, after being on it for 6 months now I'm realizing that this pill is the reason for my poor mental health.  I went from being happy and satisfied with my life, to being an actual crazy person.  I started lashing out at the people I loved as the months progressed. I would have the worst mood swings of my life.  I would be happy and laughing, and the next minute I was in tears.  It turned me into an angry person that I didn't know."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"My colonoscopy was booked in for late afternoon on a Thursday. The hospital said to stop eating anything from 1pm on the Wednesday and recommended (giving some detail) a non fibre diet from Tuesday evening until Wednesday noon - avoiding dark drinks and jelly (like blackcurrant flavour). Avoid red meat, sausages and pies; fruit, vegetables and salad; potato skins or fries, wholemeal or brown bread; nuts, pulses, baked beans; wholemeal pasta, brown rice; puddings containing fruit or nuts; cakes and biscuits, yoghurts. Preferred are white skinless meat like chicken, grilled or poached fish, cheese, eggs; white bread, pasta, rice; boiled or mashed potatoes, water, fizzy drinks, fruit squash (not blackcurrant), clear soups, tea or coffee, shredless marmalade or jam, ice cream, custard, clear jelly, butter, margarine.

The hospital also instructed me to start taking Moviprep, one packet (A + B) at 7pm Wednesday evening; and then another packet (A+B) starting from 6am Thursday. On each occasion I was told to drink the mixture at 250ml a time over 1 to 2 hours. On each occasion I was also to take 500ml of clear water AND to take some sugary drinks to maintain blood sugar levels – non-diet carbonated drinks i.e. Coca Cola, Lucozade, or ginger ale, any other clear sugary fluids such as clear apple juice (but NOT other fruit juices); water alone not being sufficient. A spoonful of honey is suggested if sugary drinks are not liked.

On Wednesday evening I mixed the two Moviprep packets (A + B) with 1 litre of water in a large jug. It tasted mildly of lemon but, because of warnings about taste, I downed each 250ml in seconds (rather than sip it) so as not to have to agonise over the taste. Starting at 7am the fourth dose was finished at 8pm. The drug started having an effect at about 7.45pm and thereafter it was a matter of getting to the lavatory frequently and quickly for about 3 to 4 hours. I went to bed at midnight but had to get up again at 2am and two more occasions up to 4am; though not in so much of a hurry. I took the 500ml of water after the final dose and about 250ml of Lucozade after that.  I was also told to use, what we in the UK, call vaseline to prevent soreness of skin on the buttocks. This I did not do but regretted it. Just before midnight I was so sore that I did apply some vaseline ready for Thursday morning and it paid dividends.

On Thursday morning I went through the same procedure again applying the vaseline again before starting. This time the emissions were yellow and eventually pretty clear. Also the emissions pretty much (though not entirely) finished by 8am, much quicker than the night before. I can only assume there was nothing left to eject. All in all it was not a pleasant chore but a fair price to pay to get the job done."


"I'm 18 and I got my Implanon inserted about a month ago. I got my period which was 4-5 days long. It was very light and I had no pains. This was great for me as I usually suffer with heavy, VERY painful periods but the downside to this is I have been getting very emotional and moody lately. I'm hoping this will wear off soon as it can get in the way of things but I still have a long way to go so hopefully it will all work out for the best."


"I have a bulging disc and low back that has displaced nerves.  I live with pain everyday due to fibromyalgia and arthritis, but this back pain is off the charts. Nothing helped.  Just started Neurontin this week.  Makes me feel a little tired, but tends to keep me awake.  So far it has knocked pain down to a level I can live with. If take pain medicine with it, don't feel any pain.  Am noticing my hands feel swollen hope it doesn't get worse as I tend to have the rare side effects on any medicine I take."


"I switched to FE 1/20 from Sprintec birth control and it's been nothing but hell. I don't know if it's my body that's reacting so negatively or what but I hate this birth control. It hasn't even been a full month and I'm already on the urge of losing my mind. I've been crying almost everyday, snapping at people feeling depressed and hated..it's unreal. I've never been so sad in my life. My headache also gotten much worse than before. The only positive is it made my boobs bigger and period lighter."


"When I see the commercial for Restasis on television, the lady who is on the commercial looks scary.  Her eyes look so unnatural.  She is staring like some zombie.  I would not even try this just because of her zombie eyes.  Either fix that or find someone else who does not look like zombie on TV."


"I've been taking it for about 6 weeks. I've lost 7 lbs so fast.  The fatigue is awful though.  Yes,  I'm finally sleeping all night,  but I'm still tired all day.  I'm going to continue to take it as long as I keep seeing the weight drop. It's not going to make you drop 10 lbs a week. You also have to be in the right mindset to be ready to eat better also."


"This needs to come with a warning on the box! I'm on fire as I speak...After 30min I felt a itching THEN BURNING . PLEASE DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT HELPPPP SOSOMEONE This is taking place right now 4/23/16"


"This medicine worked for me except the side effect of swelling feet and ankles, and pain in the ankles. I stopped the medicine on my own due to the swelling."


"Depression and anxiety hit me like a brick wall about six months ago. I have always had a bit of anxiety, but nothing like recently. My psychiatrist prescribed Zoloft and the side effects were unbearable. My mood became much worse, threw up, more suicidal, etc. I only took it for two days. I am so happy this works for certain people. Depression and anxiety is pure torture."


"I suffer from OCD and intrusive/compulsive thoughts that create almost unbearable anxiety. In Oct '11, I was prescribed Zoloft and found it to work incredibly. On 100mg, my OCD is 85-90% gone, and I can easily rationalize and even blow off my intrusive/compulsive thoughts about 95% of the time. I felt better within a week, but it did take 3-4 weeks for me to notice its full effect. I'd describe the feeling it gives as light, airy and happy/drifty. I haven't experienced any side effects, and haven't gained any weight. On a side note, I also found that one huge factor contributing to my anxiety is too much caffeine, even when taking Zoloft (I still have one cup of coffee to wake up in the morning, but I've found that's my strict limit)."


"My doctor weaned me off of Fetzima and onto this drug from hell.  The loose bowels are very annoying (I had two feet of my colon removed 8 years ago so perhaps I am super-sensitive.  I'll start taking Pepto Bismol or something, .see if that helps.  I .have every side effect.  I am mean, nasty, aggressive:  you name it, I have it.  The good side is I am sleeping much better than I have for 50 years, and I have a bit of energy which I love.  But my depression is hideous.  Because I have had some improvement, the doctor says stay the course; I'll feel better in three more weeks.  We shall see"


"This medication is extremely effective when used properly. I developed whiteheads on my cheeks and had rather large pores on my nose with blackheads. I have been using the medication for a total of six months now. Initially, I had some redness, moderate peeling, and some slight burning right after applying the medication. After about three weeks, the side effects subsided and I started to notice my skin clearing, pore size minimizing, and an overall evening of complexion. I used Phisoderm Deep Cleansing face wash morning and night and then used Neutrogena Oil-free moisturizer with SPF 15 in the morning. My face is very oily so I did not experience much dryness."


"I've been taking Gleevec for a year now, at first I was very tired but now I'm taking a multivitamin but I've notice that my skin coloring has changed.  I'm concerned a brown skin woman but now my skin has lighten so much until I'm wearing makeup for very light skin women some days I have very little color and I look almost white.  My doctor hasn't seen this before he said usually patients become darker."


"I've been dealing with depression for a few years recently it had gotten so bad that suicidal thoughts and social withdrawal were really concerning me.  I tried to fight it naturally by taking Super B Complex but to no avail.  Within the last month and a half I've tried Lexapro which did not work for me and now Pristiq which I must say is really helping me.  I'm finally having sex again with my husband.  I didn't know that it was depression that was hindering me and having an orgasm is not a problem at all.  In fact I've become quite frisky.  A lot more talkative and beginning to get together with friends again without as much anxiety.  Anxiety is not completely gone yet but it's only been two weeks.  Loving it!"


"Having extreme lower back pain since having the nexplanon inserted. The pain is on the side left side where the nexplanon was inserted (left upper inner arm). Is anyone else experiencing this?"


"I have taken Requip for about 4 to 5 years now.  I started on the dose pack and first leveled out at 1mg.  I found if I took 2 1mg tablets I would dry heave.  It finally got where 1 mg wasn't doing enough and so I started on the 2mg XL but due to absorption issues after gastric bypass I didn't get the full effect. I am now taking 2mg 2 - 3 times a day with surprisingly no side effect."


"I started taking Aviane when I was 16 1/2 and I've been on it ever since. I'm now 21 and about to discontinue my use of Aviane. It caused me to be emotional almost all the time, I have very little patience, moods swings, I gained weight, it's tough to lose weight, I have constant headaches and my acne is horrible to the point of scarring. Since I was taking this birth control through the toughest of teenage years, I just thought this was who I became. But after doing research and finding this website, I now know I'm not the only one who has suffered through taking Aviane. It did its job with preventing pregnancy, but didn't help with my heavy period and painful cramps. I'm finishing my current pack and it'll be my last."


"I've only had one shot so far, but it has now been almost two months since I got the shot. I heard good things about this shot, and I was hoping it would take care of my really severe cramps! I skipped my period the month after I got the shot, but then the month after that, it came back. I would say my period is a lot lighter now, but it has lasted twice as long as it normally does. My cramps have been better, as they are now tolerable. But, they are still there. I have noticed a really big change in mood swings and emotions. I get in cranky moods WAY more often. At least once a day. I also have noticed that I cry super easily now, even over little things. Again though, it has only been two months. Maybe things will start to get better."


"Ok,   its funny i found this page because  its perfect for what I want to say.  I'm Diabetic and my foot doc gave me Gabapnetin for the pain  and burning sensation in my feet.   He gave me 300 mg and to take it 3 times daily.    But I admit I now take 1500  mg at one shot in the morning.  ( He said I can take more than what he gave me but he didn't get a chance to give me a new script.   Anyway,   it helps with my feet maybe 65%   or so but  don't care what anyone says   no slurring, no falling a sleep or nodding out etc...)   Its great and EFFECTIVE..."


"This is the first and only birth control medication I've been on. I've been taking it a little over 2 years now. I've had no side-effects besides EXTREMELY low sex drive. I've never had a particularly high sex drive but now it's nonexistent. I haven't had any of the headaches or mood swings. There was a mild increase in my acne but I'm also a college student so I don't particularly lay all the blame on the pill. Overall, it does it's job but I would caution potential takers with low libido."


"The first month was bad. Breakthough bleeding.. cramping and bloating.. mood swings. But the second month was perfectly fine. I'm going onto my 3rd month now. Once my body got used to it everything was perfect. I love not having to remember to take a pill each day! This is so easy!"


"My experience with Clomid has been wonderful. It really works. Just last month I was prescribed 50mg of Clomid after trying to conceive for over a year with PCOS and had taken Metformin up to 2,000mg a day. Just last week I got a positive on two home pregnancy test and a positive on a lab blood draw. Baby dust to all :) Don't stop believing."


"I took 2 rounds of Mycelex Troche lozenges, 10 days each, 5 lozenges per day. I still have a raw area on inside of lower lip and do not feel "cured." I am going to ask my Doctor to try Diflucan next. I take a probiotic daily, a multi-vitamin and eat yogurt, yet this has never resolved."


"My boyfriend of 8 years took this medication for migraine for a year and ahalf. It was great for his migraine but hell on his personality and character as a person. This medication made him confused, unable to make decisions, angry because he was confused. He became argumentative with me , coworkers, and family members. Every task he took on was filled with confusion and his ego. In 8 years I never seen him be so cold ..he was not the same person. I thought his behaviour was cause from some other medicine so I convince him to stop. Then the behaviour continued..after reading on this medicine I convince him to drop it. It had been 3 weeks since he took the medication and it's like night and day.  He is slowly returning to the man I know."


"This implanon has been the worst birth control I have taken. I've had terrible breakouts, non stop spotting , loss of libido , and it's causing me to get agitated over ever my little thing. This birth control has caused me to fight with my boyfriend every single day and has slowly been pushing us apart. I'm ready to get this thing the hell out of me."


"I have been prescribed Ambien for 3 years now, I used to take Xanax along with it so I never truly got to experience the hypnotic effects of Ambien on its own. Now I take it by itself and its a powerful medication. It can cause my appetite to get out of control, also  I had a major problem when I drank alcohol with it . My parents came home to find me, putting all my clothes in a suitcase I found somewhere in the house, a loaf of sliced bread spread all over the house and the yard, and me yelling at them for making my friends leave the game early, what the hell I was doing or talking about I still have no idea. So yes, don't drink and take Ambien in the course of a night because it leads to some bizarre activities. But all in all as a sleep aid it's great."


"56 yrs old. Tried Ritilin 15 years ago but stopped halway thru my first prescription because there was an edginess for me.

I've experienced too many jobs and excuses since then so i've just started on Vyvance. Its just four days but my mind is focussed, not hyper just comfortably clear. I'm very happy to be so productive. Eating well, sleeping well. I will add an update in a month."


"On day 17 of 25 day Efudex fluorouracil 5% cream treatment on entire face, once a day, in the morning.  Redness started on day 5 and now I am very red, face feels tight and dry.  Some slight itchiness but not too uncomfortable. Bottom lip feels chapped. Face looks awful.  Use cortisone cream at night.  Fair skin, never tan, only sunburn."


"Ok this is my third review. I can say nothing more that thanks god and new advance medicines. I am in the 3 month and I could not be happier.  Energy levels back to normal. I feel great. No side effects and my labs are great. My doctor forgot to tell me the numbers but from 300000 copies to undetectable I don’t know my cd4 but my doctor was so pleased that he informed me you only have to come every 6 months so my next appointment February 2018 I feel human again and I keep forgetting I am HIV positive. Good attitude and awesome times ahead I am 40 very happy"


"Just recently prescribed Tramadol 50 mg and it has been the miracle medicine for my osteoarthritis pain.  The very first dose & I was able to move without any issues.  I am only 42 yrs old and fear being crippled due to this nasty disease.  I am hoping this medicine will continue to work for me.  Hydrocodone 5-325 just wasn't cutting it for me anymore, needed something stronger as the pain was getting truly unbearable.  I would recommend others to try it.  I've read a lot of reviews and have seen mixed reviews but for the most part others are happy with the results like myself."


"I was hesitant to take this, but a persistent cough and chronic bronchitis that was well into week 9 left me little choice.  I am typically sensitive to most medications.  Especially stimulants which is why I was so hesitant.  However - I noticed a near immediate suppression of my coughing attacks which would leave me breathless and gasping to the point I was almost vomitting.  It took about 30 mins but I noticed it, and will be taking this again in the future if I have an option to!"


"Last night was my first time to take Saphris. I woke up in a great mood, I'm not moody at all. It seems to be working but it's only been one day. I have tried every kind of medicine out there and nothing has worked so hopefully this one will. I had no hang over this morning I feel great. I haven't felt like this in years. Thank you to the makers of this medicine. It seems to work!"


"I was prescribed this for Anxiety never should have had such strong medication for that as it controls seizures and brain injurys. My physical health& nerves were fine before this. Nuerontin destroyed the nerves in my hands& feet& gave me Peripheral& Axonal Neuropathy. Ironically its used to treat these nerve conditions but because my nerves were fine before taking it,It did the opposite and destroyed the nerves in my hands& feet destroying my life. Have been disabled 8 yrs for trusting my Dr and the damage is irreversable. Drs shouldn't use patientz as guinea pigs and pharmaceutical companies should not  e allowed to give medication not intended for medical conditions.I have lost 8 yrs of my life due to this medication and am not diabetic."


"I started taking Adipex 37.5 on May 29th, my first time taking this medication but I can't seem to lose any of my weight gained from my second pregnancy. I tried dieting, exercising and nothing happened. My current weight when I started was 248 and the first day taking this I felt like If I started moving I wouldn't be able to stop. The energy it provides was amazing. So far the only side effects I've had was dry mouth. Starting to get a little constipated but I knew that was a possibility so I'm prepared for it.  I weighed myself today and I'm down to 241. I haven't changed my eating habits and I try to stay active for at least 30 minutes a day. I'm hoping to lose between 50-70lbs."


"I'm 18 and this is my first time being on birth control so when I read all the horrible reviews on Lutera I was really worried. But it's been about a week now and I can definitely say that I love it so far! Haven't had any side effects besides really bad nausea on the second day of the pill. But everything was fine after that. Haven't experienced any mood swings, decrease in sex drive. I've noticed that my appetite did increase just a little and my breasts have been more tender than usual."


"Overall experience is ok. My mix: refrigerated suprep, slightly chilled water, ginger ale. Drink as fast as you can.  After gulping down as much as you can simply suck on a lemon to get rid of the taste.  Continue process and it'll be over quickly.  The second bottle in the morning is tougher.  Might be because your stomach is not expanded and chugging the solution plus two more 16oz bottles of water is really filling.  It started working for me 20min after drinking.  Be sure to get wet wipes.  BTW there's no pain with the bathroom part of it, not like an upset stomach, it takes surprisingly little effort for the bowel movement.  Good luck"


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I must admit there were times I was constipated but take into consideration that constipation is NORMAL during pregnancy! This prenatal is one of the best in my opinion and at 27 weeks my healthy baby girl is kicking like there's no tomorrow! No problems thus far, just a healthy baby and pregnancy to show for it."


"I took it for a bacteria in my urine and right now I have no more pressure when I have to pee and no more smell in the urine. I am happy again. Thanks Keflex"


"After years of chronic pain and depression that responded to nothing I finally asked for a Vitamin D blood test. BINGO. Low normal is 40 - I was a 4. After 8 weeks of once a week doses of 50,000 units, and a daily dose of 2000 units, I am feeling better than I have in years! I live in AZ - low D can happen anywhere!"


"I have taken this medcation for years. When my sciatica acts up, I take two and Aleve and go to bed, within a few hours I start feeling better.  It is not a pain killer--it is a muscle relaxer."


"I have had major depression or Treatment-resistant depression for 19 years. I have tried every medication.  I have tried every combination of medications and coming up in September I will have had done ECT for three years.  I started Viibryd 5 weeks ago and it has been amazing I feel like I am living, which is really strange to say! I feel like I have a future and I and so excited about it! It is to early to say if this medication will continue working for me but I really hope it does and it is an incredible feeling."


"I can sleep through the night. No more getting up twice to just let it all out and clean up the mess. No more running to the bathroom every two hours because I'm leaking through. I love this."


"If I had to base my rating on migraine prevention alone I would have to rate it a 10. My migraines were pretty much none existent while on Topamax. HOWEVER, I had extreme side effects: taste change, extreme mood & behavior change, tingling fingers/toes/lips, dizziness, vomiting, and increased eye pressure. I had to be taken off of it and put on Elavil. Like I said, as far as the migraine prevention it was perfect but it came with a price that my doctor and I thought was not worth it."


"My 11 month old was treated with Omnicef for ear infection but it did not work.  No side effects, just ineffective for her."


"This med was given as a result of a deep gouge from a dog nail. Healing was not occurring after 4 weeks including a trip to a ambulatory care. My doc said they treated it incorrectly. He prescribed this. I have an appointment at the wound center Tues.  Dr also said it needed debriding. After 5 days I see no improvement. If anything the area is more red and sore."


"I had surgery removing 6" of my small intestines. In Dec. 2013 was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, I have been taking Pentasa for about 3 months, since Jan. 2014. It has really helped me but I am losing handfuls of hair every day. I am also having dizzy spells. The hardest side effect to deal with is, every time I have a bowel movement, I have terrible itching inside my rectum. Otherwise I haven't noticed any other side effects yet."


"i was prescribed to this medicine for morning sickness. I never vomit but always feel nauseated. It only works for me sometimes. Sometimes I feel like a million bucks..other times its like I didnt even take any medicine"


"I had a severe allergic reaction to this medication. Hives on the trunk of my body. The palms of my hands and the soles of my feet had severe itching.  The itching was also in my throat and ears."


"I started taking this drug for chronic daily headaches in 1999.  Turns out they were caused by stress & serious depression.  The Serzone was a miracle drug for me!  I saw the world so much more clearly and without the negative lens.  My headaches were gone (turns out it actually has a patent for preventing migraines!).  I was on it for 8 years until I moved to a new city and had trouble finding doctors to write for it.  So I was off it the last two years, and my doctor had me on awful Depakote instead.  I hated it!  I found a doctor this week to put me back on Nefazodone (Serzone).  I look forward to ramping up the dosage and feeling alive again!  It was a great drug for me without sexual side effects, which is important to many men."


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


"I've been all over the place in my head. It calms me down some but not a lot. Plus I've been gaining weight, I've been sick, headaches, itchy, and so much other stuff."


Hyoscyamine / methenamine / methylene blue / phenyl salicylate

"I have interstitial cystitis have taken hyophen on three separate occasions (1-4 days at a time) and it only helped once.  My bladder felt painfully full even immediately after urinating and it helped  the second time I took it for a few days before my bladder calmed down.  The other two times it did nothing.  Very similar symptoms but no relief.  I don't understand and just want some help."


"This is pretty much ineffective for me.  I lay in bed for over an hour trying to sleep and if I do happen to fall asleep I wake up many times throughout the night.  I guess I need something stronger."


"A week into taking this medication I was vomiting, couldn't sleep, dizzy, water blisters, falling, sense of daydreaming"


"I've used this product before, I always get yeast infections when I have to take antibiotics, but OH MY GOSH!!!! MY VAGINA IS ON FIRE I SWEAR, I cried for an hour and screamed into my pillow. I can't sleep and I have an ice pack between my legs. My stomach hurts so bad!!! This is worst then the yeast infection it's self. I really hope it works, I also hope this melatonin kicks in soon so I can just pass out. I should have just gone to the doctor because I'm in so much pain."


"They used Pitocin to induce all of my three labors.  It was effective right away...I dilated very quickly and experienced no side effects.  Very happy with it!"


"I have had this for about 5 months now.. I had NO IDEA others were going through the same things I am... I am tired, moody and have gained about 25 lbs.. I have been working out more and couldn't figure out what was going on until now. I am dry during sex, not in the mood most of the time. Acne has been pretty bad, didn't know why that was either (don't usually have acne). For a few weeks now my body feels like it is pregnant. The moods, tired, etc.... but all tests say not pregnant. It makes me uncomfortable to have so many things going on."


"I've been taking this medicine for about a year and half and it works.  When it starts to wear off the weakness comes back. I'm happy to put up with a few of the side effects."


"Made a big difference in my hip and knee pain"


"I have had psoriasis for 17  years and have had many visits to the specialist. Although my psoriasis is not what they class as severe it effects my world in a severe way as it is on visual parts of my body that are difficult to hide (especially in summer). Elocon was the first ointment to take the red appearance from the psoriasis and also make some areas look normal again. It has lost its inflammatory appearance and is lessoning in size. I would highly recommend others to give it a go. "


"I have an abscess on my jaw and I've been on clindamycin for 3 days(450 mg 3x per day) the abscess was originally about 2"x2" and just under my skin. I have been using hot packs as well as following my prescribed dose of clindamycin and in 3 days time most of the swelling has gone down and the abscess is bout half of the size of originally was. I'm only giving it an 8 because I haven't finished the 7 day script yet but I'm hoping things will continue to heal up and go down and will be mostly or all the way gone but so far it seems the clindamycin is working well for me."


"I was diagnosed with stage 4 Leiomyosarcoma 7/16/2013. Tumors in my stomach, liver, and a few affected lymph nodes. Had surgery and removed 40% of my stomach on 8/30/13. Surgery was a success. I Underwent 4 1/2 months of chemo with minimal shrinkage to existing tumors but did stunt the growth of the tumors. At that point my tumors were considered inoperable. Started Votrient  2/14, just found out my tumors have shrunk enough on my liver to be operable. Liver Surgery scheduled 10/14. So happy, praying Votrient is our miracle. Good luck to others with my condition."


"So I got my skyla inserted and it was honestly the worst pain of my entire life. My doctor had told me that I would feel some cramping but during and especially after I could not even breathe. I sat up after it was over and started sweating, my ears started to ring and I then passed out! When I woke up I was in the worst pain I have ever felt. I drove myself to the doctor but I had to have someone come get me because I couldn't even stand up. The rest of the day I had extreme cramping. Still debating on whether to take it out or not because it doesn't feel comfortable."


"After getting my 2nd Prolia injection, I've had the worst 4 months of my life!!  Within a couple weeks, I went from a very young 70 yr old to a 90 year old woman.  My back and hips have been so painful, that I have to wear a stiff back support to be able to move.  Even with this, I can't stand up straight. I am awakened at night because of the pain and I can't turn over in bed.  I am constantly achey and tired.  Before Prolia, I was extremely active.  I worked with a personal trainer twice a week for six months, before the 2nd injection, but now, I have probably lost all the muscle, strength and flexibility I gained.  I put my gym membership on hold, until I can move, again, without pain. Prolia is the worst!!!!!"


"Do not take this if pill but  if you do take just one!"


"I started to get anxiety and panic attacks when I was 24. I am now 30. I have tried multiple of medication for anxiety, bi-polar,depression etc... I was getting the racing thoughts but worst of all was the womp feeling you get it's hard to explain. I was on benzo as well and nothing helped me. Psychiatrist, group talk but your the only one who knows what you feel others do not understand it. I have always been a deep person and would think way to much. I got out of that stage on my own. Trust me it sucks i still get "crazy" but on Paxil it really helped me I only take Paxil nothing else. You name it I was on it schizophrenia meds as well. I understand when people say I can't get up I can't go out. Just try it all are different!"


"I live in the UK & have had plaque psoriasis for 20 yrs. After various lotions, UVB & PUVA, my knees & elbows became infected and I could hardly walk or sleep with the discomfort. As I also have depression, my dermatologist decided on prescribing methotrexate as my quality of life was so severely affected. I take 15mg tablets once a week, within a month it had all but gone, & has remained that way. It has been a year since I started, it's such a relief not to think about my knees all the time! I also take folic acid, & the skin on my face has become quite oily, but it's definitely worth it. I've recently noticed the few patches I have left are beginning to increase in size, but I hope this improves with the arrival of summer!"


"Before switching to Sprintec, I never had an ovarian cyst before. After starting Sprintec about 4 months ago, I wound up in the hospital 3 times for severe abdominal pain which turned out to be ovarian cysts.
For everything else, this birth control is great and I have no complaints. But the cysts gotta go, so do these pills."


"I got this for the same reason as everyone else, because I hate taking the pill. I must say I give it a 10 for birth control considering I'm constantly on my period, so I can't have sex anyway. It's been three months that I've been on my period, and the constant bleeding caused a bacterial infection which then led to problems with UTIs. I am miserable, but my doctor made me sign an agreement saying I couldn't get it removed because of period problems, so now I'm stuck. I would not suggest this product to anyone who plans on having sex in the next six months or doesn't want to pay to constantly buy pads or tampons. It is becoming expensive and not worth all of this hassle."


"I was given this medicine to prevent a kidney infection while having a kidney stone pass. It worked and didn't have too many side effects. I would recommend it."


"I am a 42 year old mother of 1. I had Mirena inserted in 2007 after I was done breast-feeding. I absolutely LOVED Mirena until recently. I didn't have to remember to take the pill daily and I felt it was the best way to prevent another pregnancy. A couple of months ago, I had a new one inserted after months of my husband complaining about the strings poking him. I don't know what made me look into it, but I realized that over the past 4 years I have gained over 35lbs.,my sex drive is almost non-existent, I am often dry during intercourse. I want to run to the ObGyn, but have to wait until next week to it removed. If you get one, be aware of your body's response to it following insertion."


"These are all  fake commants for sure"


"Hi everyone! I started taking Saxenda 10 days and have already lost about 8 pounds. The first night I was very nauseous, but it hasn't been as bad. My appetite has become virtually non existent. I eat maybe a forth of what I used to eat, but I'm loving the results already. I've been on Metformin for almost 10 years and it's never done what this medication has. I'm on my way to my goal weight!"


"I started Bupernex for pain 10 years ago, and it has been a life saver to me. I tried pain pills and they did not come close to giving me good pain relief.
Subutex and Suboxone are only approved for detox.
Bupernex Injection is just approved for pain relief. Bupernex gave me back some quality of life back. No pain pill, lasted long enough or came close to relieving the pain like Bupernex. It does not give you constipation at all."


"I'm glad to have read these reviews, because now I know why I'm hungry all the time! I think about food all the time. I have never been that way. I'm a healthy eater and gym junkie. So, I have gained weight, lost any sex drive (but I'm not active anyway), and am a little irritable. But besides that, I have no other problems. I'm using it for surrogacy, so they have me on my second pack in a row to skip my period which worked perfectly. The last pill did not stop it.
Why cant I be one of the people who have lost weight on it? "


"LOVE IT! No complaints."


"I was prescribed this gel for a reaction to an antibiotic called Cirpoflaxacin that caused severe redness in my skin. I used it three times a day for five months and now have almost completely restored my skin back to its original clarity. I was taken off the gel after it was discovered I had psoriasis versus what doctors had initially diagnosed.

Persistent usage of this antibotic is imperative for skin clarity. I noticed no improvement in my skin color/inflamatory symptoms until after a month of usage.

My only complaint is that the gel was painful to apply. It stung like a bee sting every time I applied it, often times worse if my skin was really inflamed."


"I'm 4 days into a 7 day treatment for suspected giardia - 400mg 3 x per day. 46 yrs old. No previous giardia or metronidazole.
Giardia symptoms started improving within 48hrs. Nausea gone. Stomach pain gone. Diarrhea gone. Low fever gone. But these pills really knock me down. About 40 mins to an hour after taking the pill, I get tired, jaded, thick headed for 2-3 hours. Anxiety too.
I'm really looking forward to finishing the course. And I really hope they work!"


"I have been on Qsymia for about 20 days and I have lost 12lbs. (I'm 5'11, 200lbs to start, now at 188lbs). I have played sports my entire life and recently quit, so the fact that I am still losing weight without as much exercise is amazing (Waitressing and housecleaning in college keep me active). I normally wouldn't take the time to write a review like this but I am so surprised by the results. My appetite is gone. I don't even realize that I haven't eaten since breakfast until I find myself wanting a nap around 4pm; then I'll remember I forgot to grab lunch! This NEVER happened before Qsymia. Long story short, I would recommend this 100%. Feel free to ask any questions!"


"I have been on Lexapro for over 4 yrs after going into a deep depression after several traumatic life experiences. I am very grateful for Lexapro and my therapist (who helps me with coping techniques.) After being on Lexapro my family has told me they are not sure how to take the new me. When I was upset I would have anxiety attacks and black out. When I was angry I was uncontrollable sometimes even physical with my love ones. The sad part is I did not even know they were happening or happened until they told me. I wish I had gotten help sooner but now I am grateful and blessed for Lexapro and therapy. Every medicine is not right for everyone so you need to find the one that fits you along with therapy."


"Definitely a lot less overall body pain. A little dizzy and sleep but benefits outweigh the side effects."


"Does cause mild nausea at first and also when changing doses but I take it night and usually slept right through it, it only lasts an.hour or so. Other than that I love it. I was feeling hopeless, stressed, accussing my boyfriend constantly of being negligent. I was taking prozac before and it worked but made me tired and I blacked out when I drank. With brintillex I skip it if I drink and have plenty of energy and no issues. I felt good just a couple days after taking it but that subsided then a couple weeks later the "cloud" of depression just sorta lifted."


"Its ironic that Flagyl used to be given to alcoholics so they couldn't absorb alcohol in the liver causing terrible discomfort. Both meds Cipro and Flagyl work very well. Just take them separately and with some yogurt."


"I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks since I was 7. I'm currently 33 and just discovered Klonopin. I was on Paxil for 12 years and it was a miracle pill until I built tolerance to it and it stopped working. I've recently switched to Zoloft and it's been a rough road. However my psychiatrist put me on klonopin to help ease the anxiety and it has been amazing. I only need .25 mg 2 to 3 times a day, but it gave me the ability to function. Even with withdrawal from Paxil and start up side effects from Zoloft, I can still keep my head straight. Anxiety and panic are dibilatating and when I weigh my options, I'd pick klonopin everytime."


"I was prescribed this drug for anxiety I took it home and managed to take it for 2 days but immediately noticed severe insomnia that after two days made me stop taking it. On top of the inability to sleep despite feeling tired I had absolutely zero appetite. In the little over 48 hours I had only managed to eat a handful of cherries...
However when I was on the drug I did notice less irritability and increased fatigue which I attributed to not sleeping or eating."


"I'm on day two, and just took third dose. I couldn't breath out of my nose and had the worst aches and pain imaginable. Woke up this morning still weak but I can breath out of both nostrils now and the aches and pains are finally dwindling a little. I have not experienced nausea related to the meds just the influenza has made me feel nauseated along with the many over the counter medications I have been taking. This drug works. If I woke up in pain like I felt last night I was going to the hospital. Thank goodness for this drug."


"Switched from deposit shot to seasonique after my sophomore year of college. My doctor said I would have one week of bleeding at the end of each pack. But for some reason I end up spotting heavily the WHOLE third month, with a heavier period during the "bleed week". I am very consistent with the time I take it and I don't miss a day. But yet I'm still stuck with a month long period. Not sure if I should switch bc methods because of this. The only reason I was sold on seasonique was because I was expecting one NORMAL period once ever 3 months."


"I have suffered from anxiety and panic disorders for all of my adult life.  When I was diagnosed with Leukemia, my level of anxiety was at at all time high, because it also caused severe bone pain.  My pain-management Doctor had some samples of Niravam. The first week I tried it, my life was changed in a huge way.  It goes to work so quickly, if most effective and the half-life of this medicine seems short, so you aren't being "over-medicated".  I've suggested it to others with the same disorder, but sadly, most doctors have never heard of it. I appreciate a safe, effective medication and just wish that more doctors were aware that it's more effective and no or very few side-effects, so they can benefit more patients."


"Very positive experience.

I had previously used depo shots, so I knew going in that I would not have any harsh side effects. No headaches, spotting, weight gain or anything of that nature. Just a tiny dot scar where they inserted it.

The entire process was quick and painless (I went to a very upscale and reputable establishment)."


"Started on 5 mg Celexa about 7 months ago. Works great to take away most of my anxiety and irritability, still comes around sometime but on more normal means instead of every single day like I was miserable before I started on Celexa. Took a couple weeks to adjust to it and my orgasms are few and hard to achieve, but still possible, unlike other meds I've been on in the past. I love everything about Celexa, and would have given it a 10/10... however, I've gained 15 pounds since I started taking it. My diet and activity level has not changed so I'm assuming Celexa is to blame. This is now causing depression from the weight gain and the inability to keep it off... If you start Celexa, start exercising regularly to help maintain, wish I had..."


"Great Medicine.I Coughed so much that the dr said I have bruised my ribs..very painful,this stuff is the best when you are having severe constant coughing it will give you relief and let you rest.wat better than the otc cough syrups."


"Wow!

I have been taking Wellbutrin SR 150 mg. for one week ( started October 15,2016) then 2nd week taking 150 mgs at 12:00.  I have never taken any medication for my mild depression, easily agitated, sweating the small stuff, slightly obese (209 lbs), too tired after work to play with the kids diagnosis.

Then, OMG, my life is forever changed.  In my second week on Wellbutrin SR 150 mg twice per day, I down to 203 lbs.,I didn't realize how much agitation and sadness I was trying to manage on my own, I am a lot calmer when stressful situations arise, play with my kids & exercise.  I feel like there is always a song in my heart. Unless, somebody does something really STUPID to PISS me off!  But even then, I can forgive faster!  God, I'm happy"


"I used to be prescribed oxycontin, and became very addicted to pain medicines. I take Klonopin now after detoxing to keep me straight, and take the edge off. This pill keeps me satisfied as far as wanting to use an opiate (pain killers), because I have a very strong mental and physical addiction to opiates."


"So I started taking 100 my since December. Took about 2-3 months to see a difference . HUGE improvement . Nothing else has come close to working like this has. But... CRAZY IRREGUALR PERIODS. I'm talking about going from a 40 day Clycle before starting spiro to having my period every 10 days. I don't know what to do. I've been weaning off & so far so good. I just don't want to break out like crazy but I also don't wanna put up with so many periods . I also went from good/normal to really low blood pressure."


"I've been using this for three months and I'm finally taking this emotional draining mister out this next cycle. I was so excited to use this at first but as each month went by I felt more and more depressed and miserable. My labito went down incredibly low to the point where the thought of even having sex would just give me headaches. I was never like this and I've become an emotional beast using this and it has effected the relationship I'm currently in. I don't recommend this, although it has amazing perks and it's convenient it's not worth destroying you as a person and possibly you're relationship and own overall happiness."


"After exhausting ALL options, this did job. I had  severe facial acne and now (3 months later on 100mg/day) I'm 100% clear. I saw a difference in the size of inflammation overnight. Experienced vertigo for the 1st month but you eventually reach equilibrium. My only concern is will it continue to stay clear. *Fingers Crossed*"


"My boyfriend and I had sex about 2 weeks ago and the condom broke. As teenagers with our whole life ahead of us, we absolutely freaked. We drove to the store and I took the pill within 20-30 minutes after the mishap. After reading these reviews (much like some of you panicking right now) it really helped me to feel better. A week later, on my usual day, I got my period! I experienced some nausea, headaches, tender breasts and weird moods but it didn't help that I was already suffering from a minor cold. I am so happy and thankful for Plan B- it literally saved my life!!! My best advice is to stay as calm as possible- stressing can make the symptoms and waiting worse. Let your guy know you need as much support as possible! Breathe ladies:)"


"Have suffered from allergies and 2 to 4 sinus infections yearly for most of my life.

Have tried many antibiotics,  but Ceftin works the best with the least side effects. I agree with other comments. After only 2 doses of a 10 day course I already felt 50% better. I am an RN and I have seen Zpak and Augmentin fail people during sinusitis treatment. This drug is my go-to now. It truly cures the infection. I only get maybe one acute sinusitis per year now, thanks to this drug."


"Been on Evra Patch for about 8 months now started with no periods at all first 2 - 3 months  now it seems to be getting heavier and lasting alot longer also I get freaky paranoid and bad anxiety just before my break and after. This doesn't help with my anxiety levels. Also I've gained weigh and can't seem to shift it and constantly obsessing with food. I wanna eat all day!! Lol. Apart from those side effects the patch works for me I keep note in my Diary on when to change patch is really much easier than having to take a pill every day!"


"I had mild panic attack ,doctor gave me 1/4 klonopin and after 1 month he prescribe paroxitine ,i just eat  half paroxitine 20 mg for 3 days but it make me so nervous so i stop it,then doctor gave me fluoxetine 20 mg plus alparozolam.i get really addicted to klonopin

 could not go out with out that ,but finally after starting alparzolam  ,i stop klonopin.

Al thought i just eat fluoxetine for 4 days but could Not sleep,mild headache,insomnia,nausea,the worst one nervous feeling which kill meeeeeeee.it was one of the worse thing happen in my life,stop the pill after 4 days ,i feel pain in all over my body,i am on alprazopam 0/25,today i feel better less nervous ,but i don't know how long fluoxetine will stay in my body"


"I am a 33 year old mother of 4 and suffered from depression and very bad anxiety for 5 years. Been in hospital 11 times, the longest 6 months. They filled me with all sorts of medicines at some points. I was so out of it but then a new doctor I met gave me Xanax along with some other antidepressants and I am doing fine and living a normal life. I think these are great."


"I was in the hospital for intense vomiting and stomach pain. They gave me this drug and I felt better within 2 minutes."


"I started this 4wks ago.  I have lost weight and sugars are down.  The side effects are awful and almost unbearable.  I hate it.  I called the doctor and told her I have indigestion from hell gas, stomach bloating, explosive diaharra, nausea. She said to hang in there it will get better.  I took the last shot today and already feeling the side effects.  I want to know why the hell a company would make medicine like this.  I will never take this again.  Very displeased"


"2nd injection in my knees and feel 35% less pain
but I am sooo I'll
inj in both knees each friday, by Saturday 5pm I have outrageous headache nausea
dizziness.
Very tough thru the night vomitting.
my stomach Hurts.
Continues all sunday and monday till around 1pm

Two weeks in a row now and missed work because of it..not sure if I can continue injections"


"Suffered severe period pain doctor put me on naproxen in 2 months have no pain and no period flow it's basically stopped but side effects I got itchy hives but it's great..but doctor says pain is fibroids that have to come out I wanted to stay on naproxen but she said it's only a solution not the end result...."


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


"Tretinoin cream usp 0.025 works amazing!!! I've tried everything, and this is the only product that worked for me. After you make it through the first month of using this product for the first time, you will see a huge improvement! My face hasn't been this clear in awhile."


"I have a friend who had taken ambien for years without any problems. For whatever reason he had an episode where he took his pill and then remembers nothing until he was at the police station. He had drank three beers (which he only knows because that's all that was in his frig) then proceded to drive (!!) and ended up crashing into another parked car. This is scarey stuff, eh? It works wonderfully, but I surely wouldn't want to have a blackout and end up driving. Is there any class action suit against this drug? I've heard of the other stories -- walking naked in the winter cold, eating while sleeping, and then my friend's experience."


"These pills are amazing!

I've been on them for 3 days and I've lost 7lbs already. My start weight was high - 18.5st :(

Only 2 side effects for me, feeling thirsty more often and one urgent trip to the bathroom after salmon."


"I have been taking this for over 3 months. I have very light periods that only last a few days (which I love). I started taking this because I got back onto the Nuva ring after 3 years of using no method besides condoms. Although taken the ring in the past and loved it, it didn't work for my body this time and I ended up having an increased amount of breakthrough bleeding. So I asked my doctor for a low hormone bcp. I was skeptical at first because of my past experiences with the pill but I love it. My breasts and stomach feel sore and tender for most of the month, and sometimes I feel more tired than usual, but I love this pill and hope it works for you too!"


"I hated being on Yaz. It caused me to gain a lot of weight, so much so and so quickly it actually scared me. I was incredibly depressed and sad all the time finding myself crying nearly every day whereas I am normally a person who almost never cries or gets overly emotional. I had difficulty breathing and felt like my chest was weighed down. Anxiety and panic attacks became my daily norm. Another strange thing was it gave me little red bumps all over my face that weren't acne but just texture. I have been off Yaz for a year now and I still have the red bumpy texture all of my face "


"I was just diagnosed with Achilles tendinitis. I was just prescribed Medrol, feeling a little better."


"I started taking this med six days ago to treat neuropathy pain in my feet and lower legs. It, like gabapentin that I was taking before this, is giving me severe arthritis pain in my hands and knees, which I did not have before. I will discontinue the use today. It stopped the neuropathic pain but is crippling me in other ways. I will go back to treatments with NSAIDS and acetaminophen."


"I got nexplanon in Nov. 2016 I was 107lbs now in May 2017 I weigh 145lbs, I have not changed my eating habits from before nexplanon. I have tried cutting down on how much I eat and eating healthier and my weight hasn't gone down at all. I have had a period going on 4 months now with extremely painful cramping. Nexplanon is the worst birth control I have ever had."


"I took this drug, as per Dr instruction, off and on for a ten year period. Please be aware, it's a good drug, but NOT in combination with: other diazapams, extra strength (7.5 ) Vicodin, PercoDAN, etc. It's considered a "triple threat, " being found by the DEA to be a pathway to habituation and addiction. Suicides were above average for people taking these in combination. Just saying, it's excellent on its own.  I disagree with the DEA. Short-term use of this combination was extremely beneficial for me and I have, as well as, many friends and family, not found to be the case."


"Was really ill started off with temp of 39.5 all body aches and pains. Took paracetamol and nothing happened. Went A & E the next day whom did chest X-ray and took bloods said got slight infection but couldn't hear anything on my lungs so gave me iv paracetamol and fluids and sent home with amoxicillin 1 to be taken 3 times a day. After two days was still the same temp aches and pains etc. Went see my own GP whom heard crackling on lungs straight away and said suspects pneumonia and couldn't understand why the hospital didn't. He gave me clarithromycin 500mg twice a day. After taking the first one within one hour temp had gone and I was feeling a lot better. Had a bitter taste in mouth but didn't last long. These are the best antibiotics."


"Took 100 mg Invokana for three weeks and blood sugar readings dropped dramatically even after reducing insulin dosage. Then feet started a "burning" feeling and shooting pains in my right foot. This persisted for 3 days and I decided I didn't want to think about potential lose of my feet. Life moves on with one less concern."


"It works well without side effects."


"I agree with everyone.  This is the best pain medicine I have ever used.  I had Discitis which led to a Lumbar Lamenectomy and Multi Facet Joint Fusions.  I take 30mg every 4 hours.  It used to take the pain away every time but now it's not working too well.  I am going to see my Pain Management Doctor to ask for help. "


"I had my college finals coming up and I couldn't get myself to concentrate so I got my doctor to prescribe it for me. I was able to concentrate but the thing is, I have a lot of anxiety, and by taking these pills, it just makes everything much worse. I got really anxious and upset at the end of each exam, even if I knew I did well. I never had this type of behaviour before taking the pills."


"I was switched to this pill from LoLoestrin Fe after changing my health insurance that didn't cover LoLo. I loved Lolo as I didn't get any side effects. Even aware of the horrible ratings that I read about Junel fe I decided to give it a try, becasue hey, everybody is different. HORRIBLE PILL. From the moment I started taking it I felt dizzy, had cramps, anxiety, mood swings, loss of energy and worse of all, I was getting migraines like almost every day. I also started to gain weight and THE HORROR... ACNE TOO! I told my OBGYN and we are going to try other method. Pills like this should not be on the market PERIOD and insurance companies should  not just take the cheapest stuff that makes their subscribers PAYING THEM miserable."

"This medicine is great, our patients no longer have to worry about if they miss a dose because it's taken once a day."


"I am immunodeficient and need antibiotics often. My doctors try to stay with the older generations of antibiotics for a lot of things, plus I'm allergic to a lot of them now; and Levaquin is prescribed for when I am having acute issues like sinus infection and it does work very well. I have never had any of the bad side effects from it other than feeling a bit out of sorts, maybe an upset stomach, but I'm also sick while taking it so I would feel "off" regardless. Unfortunately (because it's a fairly expensive antibiotic) it has over the last years worked quite well, even with me."


Neutropenia Associated with Chemotherapy

"Pain Level (1-10) Used after NHL Follicular, Stage 3A Retuximab   other treatment (2 day sessions)  Completed 1 of 6 treatments.
Day1: Auto Body Injector set catheter (1), Injection started 27hrs later for 45 min (0). Removed ABI module 15 min after "EMPTY" (6).  Waves of bone pain the following day from hips and sternum (5). These hit for 2-5 seconds every 2 to 10 minutes.  Next day same as previous but pain level down to (2).  Next day minor annoyance, fully functional pain level from same places (1).  Also on this day I felt the need to eat normally again."


"This drug is amazing. I lost 20lbs in 2 months."


"I took Plan B after a... mishap. I was a little nervous, since I had never taken hormonal birth control. I had a slight bit of nausea, tiredness, and dizziness shortly after taking the pill, but no other side effects. I got my period about a week later, so it worked. It wasn't heavier or more painful than normal."


"This is a good medicine."


"This review is for Finacea Foam.  I visited a Dermatologist and discovered I have Rosacea.  She prescribed Finacea Foam and gave me a small booklet to read.  In the middle of the booklet it was mentioned that it is important to throw out anything left over 8 weeks after opening.   Reason not given....wasteful for something that costs close to $300.  I wasn't concerned about any redness in my skin, as it wasn't bad, but I was assured it would take care of the pimple-like bumps that had persisted for years.  I tried it for two weeks and there was no improvement.....just got a little worse.  It also dried out my skin, so had to use extra moisturizers. No terrible side effects, so rating it a 2.  Wish I'd been able to get a sample to try out."


"I have had my iud inserted February of 2014, now, more than 2 years later I have had it removed today, finally.

This birth control has been so horrible for me, so horrible that even if I got offered a million pounds I would still not get that thing anywhere near me again.

The first 6 months was okay, I expected it to be uncomfertable and maybe a little painfull but 2 years later the pain only got worse.

I took this because I had very painfull and heavy periods, also I kept forgetting the pill.

My periods have been super heavy, really painfull and irregular.

This is not even the only thing, ever since I have this thing I have had chronic thrush infections and so much discharge that I did not dare to go outside because I was scared."


"After the arduous task of getting pre-authorization for this drug, I paid $60 and it is not helping. I suffer from chronic insomnia and was looking for something to help me sleep more soundly and to wake up restored. Ambien and Trazadone where my go to combo and worked well for me aside from the restorative part. Hence, the move to Belsomra. I started with 10mg  and it did nothing. Then I tried 20mg and it did assist with falling asleep eventually (at least 2 hours), but not staying asleep. I sleep off and on with this stuff and the dreams are pretty consistent, definitely not REM sleep. To anyone thinking of trying this drug, I'd say save your money and keep looking."


"Works incredibly well as prevention with 1g per day for oral herpes, then during occasional (and I mean years between last and current) up to 4g, and it disappears inside of a week.

I managed to transfer my cold sore the genital area and IT doesn't work as well there, but still aids an outbreak that can often take weeks to disperse.

Get the bulk powder, instead of tablets. The cost is greatly reduced, and you need only mix it with a splash of juice to drink it."


"I've had lower back pain for over a year and several doctors later, I was put on Cymbalta.  I could not handle the side effects.  I was having horrible dreams, sweats, felt nauseated, shakes, and felt really out of it with dizziness and confusion.  This was a 30 mg dose, I'm not on any other medicines."


"I originally took this for three months a year ago.  It worked great during the time with minimal side effects.  Went off of it with no problem and had no heartburn for quite a long time.  When I had an acid reflux episode last fall, I took it for about a week, where all these weird side effects happened.  Developed lower right back pain, joints kept cracking when moving, and the occasional stomach pain in the lower left abdomen.  Am disappointed since it was the only thing that really helped my reflux."


"I have severe dysmenorrhea which is painful periods. I cramp terribly to where I can barely walk. I was allergic to my last pill so I had to switch. At first Junel was great. But then I noticed I went from 164 to 174. But during that time I bled for 15 days then not at all the next month. Severe cramping. Depression. Mood swings. Migraines where I can't be around light it sound. As well as acne on my jaw line and clusters. I never get acne. Now I weigh 187. 23 pounds I gained. I'm a D1 athlete so it's not like I'm lazy. I wanted to switch but my doctors nurse practitioner said to stay on it. Best believe I'm switching ASAP."


"I have been taking this medication since I was 19 due to panic attacks, anxiety & dissociation that came from my brother being diagnosed with a terrible mental health disorder. Since taking it, It's worked like a charm, I'm now 25 and am still on the medication. This SSRI is so mild and gentle & I have 0 side effects. Please try this medication! My panic attacks are gone, my anxiety is minimal and my dissociation has disappeared. Please don't be ashamed to take something your brain may need. I'm now a Registered Nurse & I'm so calm and happy and have my life back from anxiety and panic. Please give this a try! Oh and I'm currently on 20mg. Also, remember there is always hope. Praying for everyone who reads this."


"When I was in middle school I started experiencing hyperhydrosis of the underarms. I don't remember how I first came across Drysol, but it made such a huge difference in my life! I could wear ANY SHIRT I wanted! It definitely caused some itching/stinging of the underarm area if I applied it within 24 hours of shaving, so follow the directions. The day after the first use, my underarms were 100% sweat free. I used it for three consecutive nights, and after that I only needed to re-apply once a week, and eventually once a month, and so on. Today, I haven't used it in at least 8 years but I still don't have any underarm sweat. It basically deleted my axillary sweat glands. Hallelujah."


"So, I tried a store brand this time, and I am doing horribly. If I only had a yeast infection caused by antibiotics before, now I am miserable, itching like crazy, burning like hell, and short of sleep. I used the one day kind on Friday evening, and today is Monday evening with worse than ever itching and burning. I could barely sit at work today, and I hurt when I have to wipe myself after going to the bathroom. The skin looks raw all the way up to my butt. Are they trying to kill us?"


"I've been on acthar gel injections now for 2 days and have 3 more to go. So far I have noticed no difference in anything. My balance is horrible still, I'm dizzy, electric shock down my neck back and arms, and eyes messing up, also still having bladder issues. I've been on iv steroids which did little to help, 2 rounds of steroids in the pill form which finally got my right hand feeling somewhat decent, so this is my 4th try to get back to feeling decent since early to mid August.  Really hoping this does something and it's not permanent damage. I pray to god my kids never get this!"


"Wonderful med! Severe dry cough that got worse. Had a coughing fit that lasted for 6 hours and scared the life out of me. Kaiser prescribed. Took about an hour for coughing to calm down after taking. First night I coughed quite a bit but on the next 100 mg dose cough got better. Do not be discouraged if it does not work right away. Give it a few doses. I also added a humidifier to my bedroom and my coughs were more productive. That coupled with this medicine and I am happy to report after 4 days I am much better. This medicine is my savior. I was up 5 nights straight coughing before I took this."


"I was prescribed this med during a stay in the Psychiatric ward at a hospital. I am 64 and was admitted because of suicidal thoughts. The drug side effects were very minor and the benefits and improvement to my wellbeing were significant and positive."


"I recently had an episode where my anxiety problem showed itself. I was hesitant to seek medical help or take any prescriptions. I am now very happy that I did. The medication settles me down and takes the edge off. I have not experienced any side effects. Actually, I don't even notice the meds doing anything. So I stopped for two days. That was a mistake. I quickly got really irritable and started experiencing anxiety by the end of the second day. So I started up again and it immediately went away. I hadn't realized that for most of my life, anxiety was getting in the way of thinking clearly. Now I'm a believer."

"I've been taking this since January 2013 for depression and insomnia it has worked wonders. Except for the weight gain factor. You feel the need to snack all the time which has caused me to develop bulimia. I have a past of anorexia and literally everyone in my immediate family has had eating disorders. I wouldn't recommend this to someone terrified of weight gain. Other than that. It's great."


"I've had the Nexplanon for 2 years. I had my period for a couple months and then nothing since. No cramping or spotting. I do have close to zero libido which I actually don't mind but obviously may be an issue for others.  Overall I'm satisfied with it."


"I had a fatal accident 12 months ago a, broke both pelvis, multiple ribs, fractured ankle and many more fractures in my body. I use this medicine for the pain and it is 100% effective."


"I have inner ear damage because of shingles and the medicine has always helped when vertigo has suddenly been a problem. A little drowsiness, but even that disappears within twenty minutes. VERY effective."


"I have had a sinus infection and ear infection for months on end. I was prescribed this and had been suffering severe constipation before. No more constipation, I have to take it easy because exertion makes the digestive issues worse but I understand the need to cleanse the system and for some that is diarrhea and vomit. Those that have allergic reactions I'm sorry but it isn't a reason to take it off the market, allergic reactions to meds should always be looked at. I'm hoping this will finally get rid of my infections can't smell and have loss of hearing. It sucks."


"I started this medication when I was 15 because I had extremely painful, irregular, and stressful periods. I never knew when it would start or end, and I almost always had to miss at least one day of school per period. It sucked.
When I started this medication, I did notice some spotting for the first month of use. I then had my period and I never spotted again!
It's been three years since I started this medication, and I've only gained 5 pounds in that time, so I'm assuming it's unrelated to the medication. I have not noticed any cravings, mood changes, or acne while on this medication."


"I'm reaching the end of my first Implanon stint. I've had it for nearly three years now and it's been interesting. Before I was on the pill and never had any side effects so I thought I wouldn't have any with this one.

Getting it put in hurt like hell. Some people didn't bruise apparently, my arm looked like it had been broken. It was black and blue and sore for about two weeks. After that my periods became less and less frequent. I've always been irregular so that was fine and for the second year that I had the implant I barely had a period. Maybe one or two days every few months.

Now on the third year I'm find that the bleeding is very minimal but almost constant. Every time I have sex my period will start up and last for about a week."


"Gave these a try to help with Anxiety and depression, had lots of side affects I'm on 10 mg a day. I won't be taking more.  I have had headache's sleepiness, upset stomach and my anxiety has got worse.
 I took them for over two weeks now but can't deal with side effects anymore."


"I didn't felt any better after I took it."


"I was prescribed Ambien, then later Ambien CR, for several years for insomnia.  Wow!  Just like I'd heard about -- take the pill and 20 minutes later I was out.  Didn't really experience "hangover" the next day, but then I allowed myself 7 +/- hours of sleep.  Then, it happened:  woke up one morning and my kitchen was somewhat of a mess but I didn't remember being up or making tuna salad on toast.  That happened a few more times before I weaned myself off Ambien.  Haven't had a good night's sleep since.  I've been prescribed a few different sleep meds but haven't had any success.  Tried OTC diphenhydramine (Benadryl, Motrin PM) with Melatonin and began not remembering simple words, appointments, etc."


"It's a great medicine but the side effects is as bad as the illness. Muscle ache, diarrhea and insomnia. All of this by day 3. However my chest feels a lot better."


"I had been taking ortho tri cyclen lo but had to switch to this generic tri lo sprintec. I started it on vacation with my fiancé in Hawaii and it made me SO moody, irritable, angry, and crazy! Not much can ruin a vaca in Hawaii, but it definitely caused me to start a lot of fights with my s/o. Seriously, these side effects are so real. I'm sure it affects everyone differently, but I'm switching right away. That's the first thing my fiancé said to me too- caused me to not act my normal self, cry about everything and make everything a difficult situation. Such a terrible experience. No babies though.."


"I have been using carbi now for several years and it is a great drug. But I have a problem in the summers. When it gets hot I start getting High Uric acid (gout). I would like to know if any one else has this problem. And if so what did you do. What did your Dr do? "


"Used it for 4 days and no results whatsoever. Typical 5%  Fluorouracil Cremes show at least redness. Tolak has shown none. More so, the formulation of it is horrible in that there are little white clumps Right out of the tube that make application difficult. The manufacturer offers hugely discounted coupons. You're better off buying the generic for better results."


"I've been taking Nexium for about 18 years now. I suffered bad heartburn/reflux etc,, that was partly to do with 'trigger' foods I ate. Over the years I learned to avoid those foods, & I started on Nexium. This medicine reduced my severe heartburn/reflux from maybe each second night when I wasn't taking it, to only about 2 times a month when I was taking it, so overall, over 18 years, Nexium made a huge difference to my life. From having to sit upright till 4am in bed till the pain went away & I could finally lie down (without Nexium) to getting a good sleep most nights (with Nexium).
I do thoroughly recommend Nexium to anyone who can take it. Tip - AVOID Trigger foods! some are - chocolate, cream, oily foods, chickpeas, horseradish, mustard."


"I have Bipolar disorder & was given this medication for an infection; 48 hours later I was manic, 72 hours later I became delusional and was experiencing psychosis, unable to identify family & my home. It was very scary because it hit so quick & I didn't know what was happening to me.  I am stable & on regimented medication/lifestyle practices.

Found out those with Bipolar should always
try to shy from this RX & other steroids.  Be careful if you have a mental illness, discuss other options with your doctor, please don't go through my very negative experience."


"I have been using the Patch for more that 3 years. We have tried different doses for pain result.  I was up tp 200mg every 3 days. It worked wonders. I reduced my dosage to 1/2 and for years I've been doing well. "


"I have taken Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) for many years, and have found it to be the only OTC medicine that really dries up nasal congestion.  Nowadays, "Sudafed," the brand name, is being sold with other ingredients, because pseudoephedrine can be used for illegal purposes in drug manufacture.  When buying it at the pharmacy counter, one must show ID, so their name can be entered on a registry; a person can't buy frequent or large quantities of the medication.

But if you get the real thing, it really works."


"My son is who is 8 has been on this for over 2 years now.
After he started taking it his SEVERE behaviors decreased significantly.
He was able to sleep through the night and stopped having CONSTANT tantrums.
He still occasionally bangs his head, bite, pinch, kick and scratch himself and others but not nearly as often. The only negative things I can think of is the danger of the medication itself.
But for me the benefits definitely outweigh the risks...
For now anyway"


"As far as a drug that needs to be infused, it is about as easy as it can be to do."


"I have been on every diet known to man kind.  I have been told by my physician that if I don't do something, I am going to become diabetic.  I went to my doctor when I heard about this medication and was told he did not write diet pills.  He told me I needed to exercise more and eat better.  He said It would only give me temporary results.  However, after reading everything I could find on Qsymia, I found that it is indicated for long term use.  I figured I would have a better chance eating right if I weren't starving and battling cravings every time I tried.  I actually changed doctors because I felt my doctor was minimizing my issue.  He won't treat my obesity but he will let me become a diabetic! I have lost 17 lbs in 2 months."


"Horrible birth control experience! I do not recommend this method to anyone. I've only been taking the pill for about a week and I've been in the ER and urgent care for extreme chest/back pain and trouble breathing. My lung is now inflamed as a side effect of this pill (Junel Fe) This pill has effected my daily life and caused a lot of unexpected medical expenses. I am a very healthy 29 year old with no history of health problems. I do not smoke either. Very unfortunate situation. Please do your research before taking this pill."


"I have tried the pill, the patch, nuvaring, patch and the depo shot. I have to say the IUD has been my favorite! I did like the depo a lot but I broke out with a lot of acne all over my face. I never had acne as a teenager so getting it as an adult was torture and humiliating. I had to see a dermatologist and get on accutane. I then got the IUD in May 2011. I was nervous after reading reviews but decided I'd give it a shot anyway. Getting it inserted, I didn't realize how badly it hurt...after 30 days it felt great! I did have to get it trimmed once since my husband did hit it a few times. Other than that I highly recommend it. Best birth control I've tried by far! Give it a chance :)"


"I would never recommended as a birth control. I got it in 2014 I just got to take it out today in 2017. For the past year-and-a-half I've been so sick. I've been seen special doctors got my gallbladder taken out, and been on many medications because they could never figure out what was truly wrong with me. I had cramping horribly bad and heavy  periods, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach. Always felt like I had morning sickness. Fatigue, brain fog. Finally I saw a link on a website saying how paragard has really bad side effects thank God I clicked on that. I have 85% of all side effects. Found out that the copper on this has been going to my bloodstream and I have what's called copper toxicity. Way too much copper in my body."


"Manic bi-polarism for 7  years.  Know I'm a type "A" person,  Depokote, Effexer, zanix.  I come from the medical field, lab and had seen people come in for blood work on everything from lithium to thorazine.  I have (with M.D. agreement) backed down from 500mg ER Depokote, to 250mg ER every evening along with a sleeping pill. The sleeping pill is new, so next time I will give the name.  When "they" found me, I was so gone into what we call our "BLACK HOLE". I truly have no idea what all they tried....BUT the Depakote, according to my wife (Nurse for 34 yrs)
was my marriage and life saver."


"Simply put Lamictal saved my life and NO side effects either."


"I took this medicine for about 3 years. About 6 months ago, my dosage was increased from 20 mg to 40 mg. At first there were no problems. After a couple of months, I started having shortness of breath, chest pain, tremors, fatigue and vomiting. I went to the ER with chest pains and shortness of breath. They could find nothing wrong with my heart. I was sent to a cardiologist to have Holter monitoring, echocardiagram and stress test. Nothing. Had a pulmonary function test. Nothing. The pravastatin brought my cholesterol down to 177, so my doctor took me off of it to see if it made any difference with all my health problems. It did. Within 3 days I was starting to feel better. Within a week I was back to my old self again."


"I've only been taking this for a month. I got 25mg of amitriptyline at night. I have anxiety attacks and sometimes I shake, this hasn't been helping at all with that. I also have insomnia which is the only thing it's helped for. I actually sleep but it gives me dry mouth and once I woke up and everything was spinning for the whole day. "


"Have been taking staxyn for about two years. The first 6 months it worked amazing. 3 or 4 times a night was no problem. Slowly have found a tolerance builds up and now it only works about half as well as it did before. My side effects are a very stuffy nose and head ache.I usually use a nose spray after taking it and also take a Tylenol.  This way no plugged nose and no headache"


"After having to pay a but load out of pocket for this i slowly found out it was not for me. It put me in a hyper-manic state. Had to constantly be moving. Would wake up every morning at 7 am, when the sunlight started peaking in my room, regardless of what time I was finally able to pass out. And worst of all, it caused me to have problems using the restroom. No matter how hard I tried or what I did it made me not able to urinate. Some meds don't work on some people as they should."


"I started taking 5 mg amlodipine about two months ago.  My blood pressure is still 140/90 and my body aches from the waist down.  I wake up during the night/early morning and have to get up I am so uncomfortable. I called the doctor and he said the symptoms would most likely go away.  They haven't and seem to be getting worse.  I'm going to call him again this week"


"Highly effective when taken for restless legs syndrome. I only need 1/2 of a 2.5mg pill. I take 1/4th of it one hour before I can tell I'll get the RLS symptoms then the other part at bedtime."


"I had the skyla put in 3months ago. I have to say I was excited about getting it. The only thing now is that I'm experiencing the weight gain. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it long I do not like the extra weight. I'm not sure if I'm going to have to diet more or exercise more but it is beginning to be annoying to me. I'm going to give it a couple more months to see if I can gain some control over my issue if it doesn't change I'm going to consider removing it."


"After being on atenolol for about 30 years, switching to carvedilol was a vast improvement.  My heart does not seem to be working as hard.  No side effects that I can notice so far."


"I have had hives my entire life.  I finally saw an allergist and he did tests.  He took me off of all medicines and put me on Xyzal.  I took the Xyzal three times and I have not had a hive since.  Seriously.  I had my first hives at 4 months and had hives everyday for forty six years.  I do not know what Xyzal did but it fixed me.  I stopped taking Claritin and Benadryl and Zyrtec.  Took Xyzal for three days.  It made me VERY sleepy.  I can't even take a normal Benadryl dose without falling asleep, though.  I had to take liquid Benadryl, one teaspoon, if I wanted to stay awake.  I slept twelve hours with my first dose of Xyzal and about 8 hours with the two successive doses.  Then, I never had a hive again."


"Wellbutrin works well for the type of depression recently crippling me.  That 'I Don't Want to Get Out of Bed and Face Yet Another Horrible Day -- I Just Want to Give Up' type of depression. Wellbutrin, for me, erases those bad feelings and does so very quickly. Within 4 hours of my first dose my confidence came surging back. The rapidity of action is due to the unique way it works; it isn't the typical antidepressant.

Wellbutrin has side effects, but none harsh enough to stop me from taking it regular. The side effects I experience is (a.) a tense feeling (physically), and (b.) kind of a 'chemical taste' in my mouth. But, there's no blurred vision, no zombie feeling and no terribly dry mouth. The payoff is worth it."


"I was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, was beginning to feel like I am losing my mind. I am 29 yrs old and some days can barely walk I hurt so bad. I have been on Elavil for headaches 10 mg is all I can handle as it knocks me out. It helps to prevent the headaches but I hurt so bad still. Thankful to be rid of headaches but wish the doctor would help!"


"This med  works well for norepinephrine uptake inhibition which is my problem.  However, it can cause anorgasmia in men over 50 years of age.  I can have an erection and sexual intercourse but I never finish the job.  One of the side effects listed for this drug if you read the small print.  I stopped using it years ago and still have side effects."


"I am a Type 1 diabetic and have had high cholesterol since being diagnosed 12 years ago.  I am on a restricted diet and I do not eat eggs or meat yet my cholesterol was high (genetic).

I hesitated to take any statins because I got a rash from Lipitor but finally agreed to take Crestor because last summer my stress test showed abnormalities (which were later disproven).

However, I started on only 5mg, I started walking about 20 -30 minutes a day a few times a week and now 8 months later my total cholesterol was BELOW normal and all other levels were within a good range and my endocrinologist was very pleased and said no reason to go up to 10 mg.

I do sometimes get some joint pain in my wrist and ankles and sometimes some muscle."


"I'm a 39 yr old man 6" 250 lbs.  Started phentermine 37.5 November 30th, my doctor put me on one pill in the morning and a half in the afternoon. I have lost 5.4 pounds in a week. Side effects with me are dry mouth, hard to sleep the first few nights, slight tingling in my arms. It does suppress my appetite and that's what I need."


"I have been taking this for 2 months and have not lost any weight. Haven't had any side effects but it's not helping with weight loss. Anyone else have this experience. Started out on 0.6mg and moved up to 1.2mg three weeks ago and still nothing. Only problem I have is extremely bad constipation"


"When my doctor first prescribed gabapentin, normally a seizure medicine, for my anxiety, I was a little confused. She explained to me that if you look at 2 brain scans, one patient with seizures, and one with anxiety, the damage in their brain is very similar.

Within a week, I was able to feel a dramatic difference with my anxiety. Within a month, I truly felt "normal" again. I LOVE what this medication does for me, and it's made a huge impact on my daily life.

I take one 300mg tablet in the morning, and two at night, and I have a very mild twitch that it's also helped to relieve as an extra plus."


"Just got marina inserted today. Was on bc for years tried pill patch etc. Hubby then got snip which failed but we are delighted with our little bundle of joy. Really did not know what to expect and was very nervous about insertion. I took ponston before hand and it did not hurt. Measurement went fine then when inserted felt something but very mild. Not like some reviews. So far so good but dont have it long enough to comment on side effects. Insertion not as bad as i expected. Will update in a few months time"


"I just has Distal bicep surgery, extremely painful. The injury that lead up to surgery was painful. Doctor put me on Percocet 5/325 then my surgeon gave me Vicodin after the repair, well this did nothing. Went back to the Percocet, pain gone within 20-30 minutes. Now we are post-op 7 days pain pretty intense after cast and staples removed 1 tab every 8 works great for me."


"It worked immediately. I made healthier choices. I didn't have any junk food cravings not even think about them at all. Within 2wks I lost a good 16-18lbs! I loved the new me!! The healthier looking me!!"


"I started this injectible over a a year ago and am stopping it on my doctor's advice.  After all the usual start up symptoms went away after a few weeks, the medication did seem to work, but as time went on it seemed to not work as well. Also, my hair started to thin out and fall out, mildly, and I have Tinnitus and it definitely made it worse, making it very loud. I also started having problems with my liver, gastritis and my thyroid has almost completely stopped working, so now I have to be on Synthroid! Make sure your doctor checks your thyroid at times.TO THE LADY WITH THE NEW STENTS= I have fourteen stents, no problem whatsoever. I also found it helped with the weakness if I ate first thing in the morning."


"I was taking Aviane before and transferred my prescription to a different pharmacy. There they gave me lutera since they did not have aviane... Worst experience of my life. Constant headaches and acne were the main symptoms right before my period. Extremely painful periods as well. If you are experiencing these symptoms while on lutera, I would highly recommend trying aviane. I do not have any headaches or acne and my periods are pain free."


"I have a son that has struggled with an attention problem in school since kindergarden. He is now 11 years old. We tried everything not to put him on medication. The homework struggle and impulsiveness became too much for us to handle, and we finally agreed to try something. His doctor told us about a new ADHD medication called Vyvanse. Believe this or not, it was like magic the first day. He was able to get all his work done in class, and went from a A,B,C student to all A's and one B in one quarter. We have the report cards to prove it. The side effects are minimal and for him the 30mg works great. I encourage anyone battling this problem to ask their childs doctor about Vyvanse. It has changed by sons life as well as ours."


"before my body adjusted i had really bad mood swings. when my first cycle on the pill came around it was a little unsettling to say the least. bad cramping. inconsistent dark blood. menstruation is no longer a hassle though as its practically stopped completely. no mood swings. no change in appetite. less acne. you might not match this pill if you continue to yeild undesirable results."


"This medication has been a life saver for me.  I usually bleed so bad that I can't go anywhere when I have my period. I flood the whole time!  My doctor prescribed this for my Disney Trip.  What a lifesaver!  My periods are much lighter and I have no side effects from this medication.  Love it!!"


"Been on Contrave for 30 days. I was 283 at 5'7 but now 272. Am disappointed b/c I did a 180 degree change on my diet, exercised daily and only lost 11 pounds in 30 days. I am going in the right direction. I didn't have the constipation or nausea. I am pretty "foggy" still. But I have thyroid issues and have an appt. for that on the 23rd of February and hoping to get regulated and maybe I'll have more success at losing weight. I'm not giving up though!"


"This is THE absolute worst birth control and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. When I first had it placed I had my period for 5 MONTHS STRAIGHT. Now I've had it for almost 2 years (Ive procrastinated getting it out) my periods can last from 15-30 days, easy. And I'm lucky if I get 10 days inbetween them. Aside from that, my arm aches and throbs. I have heard so many horror stories about this birth control & plan on getting it taken out soon. LADIES, #SayNoToNexplannon"


"I loved the product! I started June 1, 2014 to August 2014. IN 2 MONTHS I HAD LOST 30 LBS! I was doing Zumba 3 times a week and had a personal trainer to help tone my body with my new found ENERGY. The Personal Trainer was a waste because Adipex with Zumba was doing a tremendous job all on its own. I wasn't craving sweets thanks to Adipex. I cut out fast foods, carbs, and late night eating. Plus I drank anywhere from 1/2 to a gallon A DAY! However, the medicine still made me constipated. I started at 244 and got down to 209lbs. I stopped using it for about 5 months AND THE WEIGHT STAYED OFF, while not eating so healthy. "


"I wish I could say I had a good experience with the nuva ring but I didn't. I was one of the unlucky ones who suffered through very severe symptoms the entire time. I had severe cramping/abdominal pain for the entirety of the time I was using the ring. They were so bad that I took time off from work because I could not stand up. I bled almost constantly the entire time, and it was very heavy spotting, heavier than I had ever had from a period before using the ring. I bled heavily during and after intercourse.

After the cramps became unbearable and I could not stand bleeding as heavily as I was I decided to come off nuva ring. It took my body seven months to stop bleeding heavily. I had heavy periods for two weeks at a time as my body readjusted. And even now my periods last longer than they did before using the ring. I also have spotting in between periods, and I never had spotting before using the ring.

I'm starting a new birth control, and I'm hoping my body goes back to normal soon."


"This medication didn't have an awful taste (I bought the liquid) and took care of my cough.  Unfortunately, I had severe diarrhea and ended up having to take an anti-diarrheal.  I probably won't use this medication again - the diarrhea was horrible! I would rather have a cough!"


"I had been taking these pills for about 6 months and my period were great, skin was perfectly clear. Then I got off of them and now I'm back on them and my entire chin has broken out. I'm only on the 3rd week of restarting them so I hope it goes back to the way it used to be. Maybe its just the hormones going crazy for now. I don't know."


"I started taking this medication for anxiety and panic disorder. I felt like I was taking a placebo. It did nothing for me. I have since switched to Wellbutrin xl 150 mg and have never felt better!"


"I'm not exercising at all. I'm just eating right. I have been on it 6 days now and I've lost 9 pounds. 1300 calories a day !!!"


"Just had mine put in today and it wasn't as bad as I expected. There was was a little pressure upon insertion but otherwise it went like a normal yearly visit. My doc explained everything along the way and everything went great with only slight bleeding. I did get light headed and and slightly disoriented after but they cooled me down and am doing perfectly fine. So far only slight cramping experienced and very minimal bleeding."


"I've been taking Oxycotin now for about two years. I've been through just about everything else you can think of due to the 5 ruptured discs I have. Pain blocker, nerve deadening, etc and even physical therapy but I've haven't found anything as useful as Oxycotin. It's been relatively side effect free for me and I can function pretty well day to day because of it."


"This is the first night using this and my first time having a yeast infection and the suppository is fine but the cream makes mu vaginal area feel like a dragon is down there blowing fire on it. I hope these 3 days are over quickly."


"This drug did very little for me. My Doctor prescribed it as an alternative to Xanax until a full clinical work up could be done. As a moderate to heavy drinker, he did not advise me that this is used to pull people from the disease. I don't feel like I have issues with alcoholism but it really messed me up when mixing the two. Felt stoned or comatosed. Taking the drug sober did almost nothing anyway except when I take 2 or 3 at a time and still it does not release the anxiety I have."


"I'm bipolar and this is the only medication (out of many, many) that really helps my bipolar and it works almost instantaneously for me.  I first went on it to gain weight because I was trying to recover from anorexia and struggling, but stayed on it for my bipolar.  I did gain weight and I eat tons, but I have a good metabolism and Zyprexa just brings me up to my medically ideal weight."


"Horrible I started it about 3 weeks ago now and since my anxiety has been horrible I cannot enjoy my days I'm constantly nauseous severe cramps and I've started bleeding again two days ago and my pains are horrible when my bleeding started again I also had pretty bad diahrea my stomach has always been a strong one and it seems to be so far off and upset all the time now I've got weird headaches dizziness and lower back pain this pill sucks will stop taking this pill after today when I finally realized what it really was"


"I have used plan b and the generic version a few times before and it has worked wonderful. However, that's not always the case. I had had sex and taken the pill about 24 hours after the encounter. Then found out two weeks later I was expecting. I'm elated about my child but wanted to warn others it's not a for sure method and isn't always 99.9% effective."
