"I was diagnosed with bi polar in 12/28/2015.. It has been very hard from then until now. I first was on lithium it didn't work for me. I was still maniac. I switched doctors and was put on lithium. My doctor called it the Mercedes of meds.. So I went with it.  It took 4 months to see a difference.. I had to takes meds faithfully.  9 months and Latuda has changed my life. I did gain weight. Now I'm working out on getting it off.."


"I only gave it a 7 because I'm on day 3. Dizziness and nausea, be careful driving before you get a feel for what your reaction will be. Everyone is different. The nausea was often minimized by eating  decent meal with the meds, BUT it still came back about an hr to 1.5 hrs. The dizziness, I felt like I was drinking, seriously. Hopefully it's all clear when I'm done in 2 days. I was feeling like crap, I wore a T-shirt that I wear to sleep to my evening class today (I'm over 27). Glad I found this site!

If you're a female, ensure you don't have Bacterial Vaginitis (bv) because that should be treated as well."


"I've been using Elocon since I was 8 years old, I am now 35 and it's my faithful companion. Usually I slather it on the weekend before bed, by the time I shower mid-day all the scales wash off with a gentle scrub. It usually lasts me a week before it starts creeping up again but at least I know how to control it and now most people have no idea I have psoriasis unless I tell them."


"In 2010 I started getting horrible 1 sided migraines that would put me in bed praying for death for hours everyday. Doctor prescribed propranolol 80mg extended release. Within the the 1st week the migraines had lessened on intensity and by the 2nd week were completely gone. 3 years later in 2013, the dreaded migraines returned. Went back to doctor, told him what medication I needed, and sure enough, exact same result. But now here we are 4 years later and they're back. Wish we could figure out why I seem to only have this issue every 3-4 years, but at least I know there's something out there that works for me."


"I switched to this birth control from being on the depo,because I was doing fine till it was like my 3rd shot and I started to bleed and cramp so heavy then usual and nothing was stopping it so I switched to this birth control and so far everything was good till it hid the 3rd month mark and that's when I'm started to spot and later on bleed. Which I still am at this point in time and it's been a whole month now. At this rate I don't think I want to be on birth control at all anymore if all I do is bleed."

"This Medicene makes me sick!!! Nauseated so bad.! Will call Doctor to see if their is another option. No way I can take this for several more days."


"Last year had four injections in my right knee in Nov.  It took a good 3 weeks after my 4th shot to be pain free. It's a year later and needed to start the injections in my left knee. I have already started to feel some relief. I did not let the second knee get as bad before seeking this treatment.  I'm back to tennis and will Pickleball soon. I did start to feel some discomfort in my right knee again so will most likely start injections in that knee after the first of the year. Sure worth a try. BESURE TO DO YOUR PT EXERCISES DAILY. I'm 66 so good luck!!"


"This ointment was the only thing that worked for my eczema.  I had it on my leg for years and it was open and raw; the itch unbearable.  I tried everything and this was the only thing that made it go away.  10 years later and it has not come back."


"I've only started this medication about 3 weeks ago, I take 75mg/day. I've noticed a big difference when I exercise now. Normally a walk around the track or using my elliptical would have me in a ton of pain for the rest of the day. Now I can exercise without the all day pain anymore."


"I began taking Plaquenil for RA 1 month ago. Despite information from my doctor that it would be at least 3 months before I see an appreciable effect, I am feeling better than I have in the last year. Prior to Plaquenil, I tried Mobic & Medrol, both with limited improvement. But over the last few weeks I have been able to play basketball with my son again, move without thinking or a 'warm up period', return to the gym, begin Pilates & I've lost 12 pounds! I did have some GI upset over the last month, but nothing I would consider stopping this medication for. I am able to enjoy things again & live life without discomfort."


"Best and least expensive. Came off Celexa because of side effect. Be patient, it works in about 3 weeks."


"I've used qvar for years, after using azmacort, which started giving me panic attacks. I only use it once a day, which is fantastic. The expense is horrible. It's gone up in price drastically over the past three years--just went up again I believe, to $178 for a 40mcg inhaler. It's the best medication for me, as I need very little of it, and I don't except in extremely rare circumstances, need my emergency inhaler. It's great for management of my mild asthma. Insurance helps a lot with the expense."


"Horrible. Terrible itching and burns!! Do not use this, the dosage is way too high. I suggest a 3 day or 7 day one, way more effective and lower dosage so burning and itchy is less."


"No side effects and a lot easier to my metabolism than Lasix"


"I started Chateal four months ago. Bad  idea, I've gained 20 pounds, something extremely unusual for me cause I had the same weight since I was 15 and I've been having acne episodes which is even more rare cause I never had it before either. No severe mood changes but I've been very tired and sleepy too.
Conclusion: This pill sucks I can't wait to change it."


"Within 10 minutes of taking the pills I could taste the metallic taste. It was not unbearable. BV was gone when I was done with the 2 day treatment. Make sure to take with a very large meal! I think this is what saved me from vomiting. I have a very sensitive stomach and only felt nauseous a couple times but it went away quickly. Only other side effect was that I was very fatigued."


"Been prescribed xyzal for years. Just recently bought it over the counter for a cheaper price. The plus with this medication is that it helps a bit with my rhinitis and eliminates my hives completely. However, I'm now reading about drowsiness side effects others have been experiencing and wonder if this has been the cause of my fatigue."


"I'm 44 years old and only 5 feet tall and have struggled with my weight for over a decade. I'm currently at my heaviest at 250 pounds. I was so small in high school - college 100 pounds. A friend at work lost 31 pounds on it in just 3 months. I asked him how he did it and he told me about it. I went to his doctor since my doc NEVER told me about this miracle of a pill and I just started it today. I've read a lot of great comments about it. I do have borderline blood pressure to start with so was told to check my bp on it daily. I took one full 37.5 pill at 10 a.m. I about 2 -3 hours later I felt a little dizzy. Around 7 pm I've had stomach upset. I'm praying I loose weight on this."


"I've been on fluoxetine for 8 years plus for depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder.  I thought I can do without it so I stopped several times in my 8 years and I can tell you that was a mistake.  I have severe depression and my anxiety goes through the roof and death would be a welcoming concept.  But I know I can't live without the medicines. It makes me think categorize my thoughts and I think more logically without compromise."


"Relax nicely, act better than cyclobenzaprine"


"This medicine has been a GOD SEND for me! Bad nerves (anxiety, panic attacks, etc.) & depression run rampant on my mom's side of the family & I've suffered since I was about 14 (I'm 41 now)! It was pure, unrelenting HELL suffering through that stuff at such a young age. Before Sertraline, I had tried Imipramine & then Paxil. The Sertraline has been the best (& worked the longest) by far but, I can almost guarantee it'll take away any libido you have. Your sex drive never seems to come back either, no matter how long you've been on this medicine. I thought it would but, nope! It HAS made me feel 'normal' (fine/healthy) again though & for that, I'm beyond grateful. Only side effects I had at first were weird dreams & smell/taste perversion."


"The estring was my answer to vagina dryness and extremely painful intercourse. And I wasn't even in menopause yet.  I also had vuvlydynia causing extremely burn and pain.  I had tried the cream, Estrace, but could never keep it up and didn't want to deal with it.  Finally  my doctor recommended the estring.  After 2 or 3 weeks, I was feeling completely normal again.  I've been using this for almost 9 months now, and I no longer have any pain, and the vuvlydynia seems to be gone.  It's a miracle.  I can actually have pain free sex once again."


"I have been on Victoza since January 22, 2011. I have lost 34 pounds, my blood sugar A1C is now 6.3. I have excellent readings. I am only on Victoza no other diabetic medication. I was taking 1000 mg of Metformin twice a day and Januvia once a day before I started on Victoza. I feel so much better. I take 1.8 each day at 6pm."


"My dad just got put on this medicine.  It is great.  We can cook food, give him a shot and in a couple of minutes he can get himself out of the chair and eat his dinner.  He should have been on this years ago. It is a miracle medicine."


"Went to gyno for severe cramping and just overall not feeling well. She of course did pelvic and then told me she was going to do vaginal ultrasound. Ok, 2 days later, no phone call, my Pharmacy has prescription ready. Normally this medicine has not really worked in the past when I obviously knew I had yeast infection, so I am really hoping that my cramping goes away and I finally start feeling myself again!"


"I had my Implanon inserted with no complications. There was little to no pain, and the insertion spot healed very well. Soon after getting the Implanon I began my period which lasted over four months. I contacted my OB and he said this was normal. My period finally stopped and I now have a period that lasts the entire month. I have a period for a month and the next month I will not have one. My doctor prescribed my estrogen pills to control my cycle, which worked for only a couple months. Other than the periods I have been having severe headaches. The one positive thing I can say about this method of birth control is it works, unlike other methods I have tried."


"Although more effective then Norflex, it took awhile to help the spasms. Once it hit my system, it did ease the spasms somewhat."


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"Prepopik is the way to go for colonoscopy prep. Last time I had to drink the 64 ounces of Golightly which was horrible! Sickening taste that made me want to vomit, chills, aches & pains, and just plain horrible. Prepopik was a piece of cake! Starting 7 days prior to procedure by cutting out high fiber foods, nuts & seeds until the day before procedure when I went the liquid diet of basically popsicles, jello, & Sprite Zero. This was probably the worst part of my prep this time simply because I was hungry! Started using the Prepopik at 6:00 pm night before my procedure following the instructions in box and it worked wonderfully without all the other issues! Doc said it cleaned my colon very well too so I don't have to go back for 10 years!"


"I've been on the ring for about 2 years and I LOVE the ease of it but don't like the decrease in sex drive (its non existent) and the increase in breast size. I have implants....don't need them larger! I've been crazy, moody also which I didn't really attribute to this until after reading the reviews.  I'm switching back to pills to see if it really was the ring or not."


"I'm a cancer survivor and promethazine was prescribed to me during the time when I was having chemotherapy and radiation. I was very nauseated at the time. My doctor prescribed me the promethazine and it really worked. Plus i got some sleep."


"I got Kyleena put in September (2017), so I've had it for  3 months now. The procedure was simple and quick. I was on the last few days of my period when I saw the OBGYN. The appointment started off just like a annual one. She told me all about it and asked if I had questions. I did a lot of research before, so I felt good and knowledgeable. My OBGYN is fantastic. She explained everything as she did it and told me when I would feel the pinch/pain from the placement. I would describe it as a 6, but it was quick pain. I had a little spotting after and some cramping. I did half a day at work, so I relaxed with a heated blanket, napped and was fine by the next day.

Side effects: acne first month (gone now) and some spotting (third month)."


"I had Skyla inserted back in January, and the doctor gave me Cytotec (1 the night before and the morning of procedure), she also gave me Norco to take an hour before the procedure. During the procedure she also put a bit of numbing medication onto my cervix, the whole actual insertion process probably took 30 seconds, and the overall procedure, MAYBE 5 minutes if that. It wasn't exactly a walk in the park with the pain, but it was definitely tolerable. I've had a few cramps each month, but nothing crazy and 2 periods since the insertion. So far, I absolutely love it and would recommend it to everyone! No scares and my hormones are normal! I am planning on getting it once this one expires. Don't let the reviews scare you!"


"So with my Schizoaffective disorder, in the mornings I get moody and grumpy and little stressed, so I take 1 mg before going to work and in 30 minutes exactly magic happens and I feel relaxed and calm which leads to better communication at work since I'm a peer support worker.
works great 10/10"


"This review is more frustration with my doctors than this drug. I was diagnosed with inattentive type ADHD over a year ago, although I've had it for my entire life. Because my heart rate was high, I was initially put on Strattera. Didn't work, massive headaches, gross night sweats. Gave up for a while. Finally got a new doctor and she puts me on Catapres because it helps with anxiety (which I have bundles of) and prescribing a stimulant would lead to "questions about her qualifications" (seriously tho). Taking it at night with my Trazodone does help put me to sleep, but has long-lasting lethargic effects during the day that end up causing ironic panic attacks at work because I hate feeling sedated when I need to be alert. Back to square one"


"**This is a missing side effect that should've been noted in the prescription information! *** For the first two years this medication came out I continue to use it along with my disease management drug. I was taking tecfidera.  These two medications combined  drastically slow down your lower intestinal.  Ampyra lists constipation as a minor, less common  side effect. After some research with my doctor he researched the medications in medical journals and the chemical compounds and he thought two should not be taken together for this particular reason."


"48 year old obese male. I think I been suffering with low testosterone my whole life. I first tested last month with a Score of 78. I took my first shot 300mg and I felt great for about 9 days. It has reversed leg and foot pain and gave me energy like never before. I just took my second shot today and I am looking forward to a new life Thanks."


"Started taking Invokana 100 mg on 4/19/16. By 4/26/16 I developed the most horrendous yeast infection ever. I was then prescribed fluconazole 100 mg for 10 days. So far have not had any relief from the yeast infection. Brain fog and awful muscle and joint pain have also plagued me after I started taking Invokana.  I have since stopped taking it, just not worth the physical pain or the mental disconnect that comes with it."


"I had a headache almost every day for over a year, and when I was at the neurologist for a concussion, the daily headaches were finally addressed, and I was put on a medication I was told was often tried before or after Nortriptyline. He said that if this one didn't work, it was likely that Nortryptaline would. I was soon prescribed Nortriptyline: 25mg at night for the first week and 50mg after that. Dry mouth was a side effect, but it went away shortly. When taking 25 of 50mg in the morning, I didn't notice it making me drowsy like I had been warned it would. Bad headaches occurred when stopping the drug for a few days. Subtle dry mouth would happen with the start again. Still taking it, haven't gone 40 days headache free quite yet."


"On about a week now and feeling like my life is changing. I don't feel like complete garbage everyday, I don't over think everything, and I'm much happier. First day was the worst but then got clonazepam and it made the first period feel MUCH better. Loving it so far!"


"I've had panic disorder for 36 years, in addition to ptsd, and ocd. Clonazepam 1mg twice daily has enabled me to have some sort of life. Panic disorder reduces quality of life, and I more or less live in a bubble. However, integrated with CBT, I am finding that my "bubble" is expanding. I'm able to go out of the house, drive, and function throughout the day. After taking it for several years with success, my new psych wants me to discontinue it due to addictive properties. So, back to living in my bubble, I guess. Why do they create a useful medication, and then tell you that you can't take it any longer? Drs overprescribe, FDA cracks down, and those that benefit from it are left in the dirt."


"used Levitra on 4 seperate occasions (10 mill each time) and results were non existent. Dont know how i'm gonna solve this problem. No side effects but no erections either - very disappointed having paid over £50"


"I took Pristiq for about 5 months, 50mg per day.  At first it was great.  All of a sudden I started getting really irritable after taking my does.  Super irritable.  I was in a foul mood and I would snap at people at work and at my girlfriend. I immediately quit cold turkey which I knew would be hard but I couldn't go another day being looped out.  Now it's been a month since I stopped taking it and I'm feeling rather depressed, so I'm thinking about trying something different.  What has helped my anxiety in the mean time is eating right and exercise."


"I have been suffering with acne for 3-4 years now and I have tried every cream the doctors proscription me with and this was my last resort as I am unable to taked tablets and there is so liquid form to treat acne.
Yes there is burning and it hurts but it works! I have had this for 7 days now and the improvement is massive despite the pain it comes with it"


"Works in just a few minutes. I like the spray in place of the Fentanyl sub-lingual tabs. I like Sub-Sys made by INSYS Pharm. I know I have been on these type med's for 20  yrs."


"I was taking this Microgestin Fe 1/20 just over 4 years. I got really bad headaches and gained weight, and I was very moody."


"I started to to have persistent stress so much I could not concentrate on anything (I'm software developer and my job requires high amount of focus). I tried exercise, eating well, deep breath without success. They were effective to decrease it a little bit but it was not enough. Then I started escitalopram (10 mg per day at 6 pm).  It was a miracle. Without any apparent reason, my anxiety disappeared. My external world did not change. I was still living in the same place with the same people, the same job; everything stayed the same but somehow I was not worried anymore. I was on it for 1.5 year. When I discontinued it, I stayed GAD free. I discontinued it because most of the external stress triggers in my life were not there any more."


"Beware of side effects! This medication caused Sexual side effects. Unless you are a Man who doesn't mind not being able to  have ejaculation in the bedroom, don't mind growing breasts when you are a Man!, and don't mind gaining weight, DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION."


"Took for 3 months. Did not affect my blood glucose levels at all. But severely increased my bathroom visits and caused me to sweat uncontrollably."


"I've been on Asacol for years - 12 tabs /day.  No side effects, easy to take, but sometimes during flares it fails to release.  Release is pH dependent (as are some competing drugs), in my case I think that's the problem. This problem is not well publicized, so doctors aren't aware of it."


"Induced a period around a couple of days after the 10th pill was taken. Caused upset stomach, but otherwise worked well."


"I was prescribed this for a Staph infection of the Skin. The first few days I was very fatigued and had mild neck pain then on Day 7 of 10 that it was prescribed for I started breaking out in a rash on one thigh and then it spread throughout the day and was on my chest and arms by the night. I was also freezing! I took 2 benadryl that night then woke up the next morning and the rash all over from my neck all the way down to my ankles, front and back and was cold all day! I went to urgent care and ended up getting a steroid injection at urgent care then had to take a high dose Prednisone for 3 days after that. After Steroids were started I noticed that the joint pain went away and I also was swelled from the rash."


"I wouldn't try this or Lyrica again.  I have had fibromyalgia since before the doctor knew what it was.  No drug has been worth taking because of the side effects.  They eventually lose some effectiveness, then the doctors want to up the dosage or give another.  I've gained 100 pounds.  I'm sick all of the time.  The depression does not go away.  I think the added weight is worse on my body than the original symptoms."


"If a doseage has been missed , I can feel the difference within twelve to eighteen hours.  I work a physical day and if not for Spiriva and my Salbutamol inhaler , I wouldn't last a few hours."


"Hi I had all these symptoms last year and they have returned. Only this time they gave me 4 weeks of the antibiotic drug trimethoprim.  So far it's caused my urine to smell funny, slight back pain and pins needles, numbness in my hands I'm also waiting on a PSA and creatnine blood tests I think 1 is to check if the kidneys are function properly and also a PSA blood check to see if any cancer is present. I had all this done last year but was only given a weeks cause of these but I don't find them very effective whatsoever. However the GP as gave me doxycycline 100mg which I had to ask for by name as she said these ones should sort it so I explained to my doctor I need another antibiotic so she did gave me doxycycline 100mg."


"My doctor switched me to Advair 3 1/2 years ago.  My wheezing and coughing has stopped!  I have resumed a "normal" living style with exercise and outdoor activities.  This is great considering my outdoor lifestyle was my asthma trigger.  I have had none of the side effects listed for this product."


"I've been on this BC for about 3 months now. This is the 3rd prescribed type of pill I've been on. Weight gain was an issue when I first started w/ Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, but my weight has been pretty constant now. My acne has cleared up significantly, which is nice! My sex drive is still the same, unless I'm the water pill week. My periods have been pretty brief compared to my original 7 day cycles, then becoming 2 weeks (yes, weeks!) on the 2nd BC I was on for months, they are very predictable and my calendar is always accurate so I am well prepared, but I still get SEVERE cramps the first 2 days, which has always been a constant problem for me, on and off ALL the BC's I've been on. I am still a virgin, only 17, and not sure why this is??"


"My husband and I have been battling opiates for a while now. We started with herion. Then went to a methodone clinic to get off the herion. We asked to get weened down off the methodone and they said it would take 6 months. We stopped and tried to do it on our own but you know what happened. We had terrible withdrawls. Finally a doctor could see me and we have been taking suboxone for 2 days. It's great. Now we will ween ourselves off this and be done."


"After five years, I can honestly say I love this birth control. I should've been pregnant 6x over, as I have sex on average once a day every day with my boyfriend. No period for five years is also a HUGE plus; I had terrible periods, now nothing.
Downsides: I've always had acne, and still do. Might've made it a bit worse, but I can't be certain it was the birth control.
I have gained about ten pounds, but it could also be because I started this birth control when I was so young, and I'm now growing into my body. I'm only 21.
Low sex drive. I used to think about sex all the time; now I never crave it. I do it more now for him. I think it's turned me asexual.
Overall though, no periods and no pregnancies are good with me!"


"15 year old female with ADHD and mild depression. This sent me into a downwards spiral of suicidal thoughts and erratic behavior. It also caused me to throw up and miss meals due to the 'stuck in my throat' feeling it gave in addition to the burning acid in my throat feeling. Also it gave me headaches so severe I wouldn't even get out of bed.
 I give this a 2/10 because although it did help a little, the negative side effects are too much for me."


"This is the only thing to relieve my symptoms. Over the counter medicines helped only slightly. I was suffering from a severe hacking cough due to nasal and chest congestion, as well as itching and sneezing. After taking this, I got my first good night sleep in days. The only reason I didn't give a full 10 is that it makes me feel drowsy and disconnected. It's worth it to me. I would recommend this to anyone."


"I have suffered with restless legs syndrome for years. Tried Requip and it made me horribly sick on my stomach within 30 minutes after taking it. Then tried Mirapex and still had major symptoms. Then came NEUPRO! WOW! I could live again! It has changed my quality of life extremely! But the patch doesn't stay on well so I use paper tape to keep them on the whole 24 hrs.  Was able to get a reduced payment on medicines for $10.00 a month for 12 months for 30 day supply. Insurance would not cover it."


"Apart from feeling drowsy all day long, I have not experienced any relief from my hay fever (have been taking Cetirizine for a week)."


"I have been on this medicine for about a year. Great medicine. Blood pressure went from 160/94 to 110/72 also lost about 25 pounds."


"I do not recommend this at all, at first it was great because you don't get your period for months and you don't have to worry a lot about condoms but then I realized that cant be good for your body, and when you did get your period after months it lasted a whole month also my bones started to feel weird this shot might be good for a short term thing but not a long term option it will destroy your body im sticking to condoms definitely ..you cant mess with the way your body functions"


"This medicine gave me great relief within few hours of taking it. However, I get really painful cramps in my stomach. I realized I get hungry more often. I have been on it for about three years. Within these three years I have taken about six doses. I think it is great."

"The first month I started taking this my period was horrible. It lasted for almost 2 weeks. My periods have lightened up quite a bit since I started taking it but I'm still spotting and I've only tried skipping my period once, which it didn't work. On the brighter side this pill has helped clear up my acne quite a bit. I don't eat much anymore either and in return I've lost quite a bit of weight. All in all its not a bad pill besides my period and spotting problem. It does what it's supposed to which is keep me from becoming pregnant which is great."


"Bilateral Pulmonary Emboli directly due to Nuvaring use.
Misdiagnosed by first couple physicians and sent directly to ER after another physician recognized the signs of a potential blood clot. I was extremely active, had a great career, and never thought something like this would happen to me. I really liked the Nuvaring for a variety of reasons, but nothing is worth dying for. This came very close to killing me and I had to make big changes to my life after my blood clots. Weigh Risks and Benefits with more than 1 physician, and look for alternatives!!!"


"Most painful injection in my life! Felt like a screwdriver being shoved in my arm. Shot was given very high on my arm and I believe it went into shoulder joint. 45 min after given I experienced severe low back pain and after almost 2 months I have severe pain when abducting my arm. I have taken a round of Keflex from my FNP."


Acetaminophen / caffeine / isometheptene mucate

"This works great for my migraines.  Much better than Imitrex, Zomig nasal spray or Fioricet.  Every once in a while, it will fail to knock out a migraine, but on the whole, it's a lot more effective than Zomig. It can make you jumpy, but faced with being jumpy or in horrifying pain, I'll take jumpy any day.

If you used Midrin and it worked for you, it's worth giving it a try."


"I am currently 19, in good health, not taking other medicines, have been tested negative for STD's, and sexually active with one partner only. I am taking birth control mainly as a contraceptive and partly to regulate my irregular periods. I have just completed my first week on Tri-Sprintec and have not experienced any significant changes. I have not had any mood swings in the past week, nor experienced drops/spikes in libido. No significant weight gain in this past week, however I do feel my sports bras tightening up. (Hopefully my breasts are growing?) No breast tenderness. No change in appetite. Complexion looks better if not the same. I will continue to share my experience with this pill. Currently very happy with it. "


"This pill made me feel terrible! It caused me to break out everywhere, bloating, and migraines everyday I was on it! I have taken it for a week and my doctor advised me to switch mid-pack back to my old pill, Low-ogestrel which has worked the best for me."


"Hardly any side effects. Great generic for Alesse.  Was having some endometriosis problems with NoraB and changed to Lutera...no problems any more."


"I do not recommend this drug at all! I have had IBS for 6 years this drug made my diarrhea worse!! I had great hopes that this drug was going to give me some relief, not so. I do believe that an antibiotic will one day cure this problem, I was given a common antibiotic for a sinus infection on two different occasions which not only cured my sinuses but also stopped the diarrhea for months. This drug is not the cure, not to mention the fact that is drug cost nearly $2000.00 please do not assume that I am complaining due to cost, this drug cost me 25.00, my insurance company was the one who paid. I would suggest to this drug company, Go back to the drawing board!"


"I lost about 40lbs through changing my eating habits and regular exercise over a period of about 18 months, but I had hit a plateau. I was referred to a weight loss clinic by my co-workers, who are having great success with phentermine. After my first week of taking phentermine 37.5, I was constantly famished, and tired. At the 3 week marker (down 6 lbs), I requested to switch to Adipex. I noticed a difference the very first dose. I'm on day 3 of Adipex, and it seems to do a much more consistent job of curbing my appetite, and I don't feel sleepy. I'm not overly energetic, but also not jittery, and I'm
not getting the headaches. Trying it for a week before possibly checking into another option. So far, I am feeling optimistic."


"Yesterday was my first time when I took Maxalt-MLT to cure my migraine. My doctor prescribed this drug six months ago but all those months I had no incidence of a migraine. Yesterday was again after my weight lifting workout. I only get migraines after a workout the last years. I always get aura for about 20 minutes before a headache begin. That is good the doctor said because I can take Maxalt faster before the pain begins. My first impression is that the aura lasted about 15 minutes and the pain was bearable in a scale of ten I would say 6.5 compared to other times that reaches 9 -10. The first 10 minutes, I was feeling a little bit weird and little dizzy. After 90 minutes the migraine got away,  I think it needs about 90 minutes to act"


"I'm no stranger to the dental chair.  I have over $30,000 invested in my teeth.  After Peridontal surgery I began every 4 month deep cleanings.  Due to root surfaces I had full mouth Novacaine every cleaning.  I tried Oraqix, with great trepidation, 6 months ago.  I just had my second cleaning with Oraqix.  It is a MIRACLE.  No pain whatsoever and no numbness to wear off.  I would NOT have believed this possible without trying it. "


"I had a bad experience with this. I was pretty healthy prior to using this birth control. I even stopped smoking cigarettes because I knew it would make everything worse.
I started taking Microgestin two weeks ago and have become very ill. My side effects were high blood pressure, chest pain, shortness of breath, blurred vision, water retention, swelling fingers, dizziness, racing heart, feeling very tired and depressed. It had a few benefits: clearing up my face and regulating my period but the side effects were too many to handle. I know it works different for everyone but i wanted you guys to know that these risks are possible especially if you smoke or used to smoke. I am going to get switched to a different birth control. Best of Luck!"


"This medicine worked for about two weeks and then stopped."


"I started a month ago and lost 7 pounds.  I did cheat a lot when I first started.  But,  once I started the 4 pills a day I started to lose weight.  I can't wait to see what the next month will bring.  I was on topamax before and lost weight a lot faster but I had horrible side effects.  I have had none on this with the contrava."


"I still have minor anxiety and depression...but wow my life got changed"


"As good as any I've taken. "


"I started Belviq about 9 days ago. I found a savings card online on the belviq website that will save me approximately $140 each time I fill my prescription. I have experienced a significant mood lift (i can see why it's a controlled substance), subtle doziness, and better sleep. Sometimes I forget to eat because I just don't feel hungry. I feel the effects of not having eaten though, I feel tired, sluggish and my stomach hurts a little from being empty, but the terrible "hunger" feeling is completely missing. It's strange,  but extremely helpful. Overall I have lost 6 lbs in the last 9 days since I started Belviq, and it surely is helping with my appetite. I am very thankful. Belviq does exactly what it's supposed to."


"I was in a bad motorcycle wreck June 20 2013, broke 6 ribs, shattered clavicle, fractured pelvic, and lots of crush injures, they tried Percocet alone would not stop the pain many months of suffering with no sleep, till they give me the Fentanyl 100 mcg patches. I was finally able to get relief and sleep. This is a great medication and life saving for me the crush injures alone was a living hell and no sleep for months on top that is enough to drive anyone insane, this medications is safe if taken right and has keep me for losing my mind and has giving me a better quality of life, it just a shame I had to suffer all those months without it."


"I've been on Aviane for 3 months now, and I must say I have absolutely 'No' complaints, no weight gain, no mood swings, no dryness, and on the positive side, my moderate acne flares have greatly reduced, my face is less oily, and I have just about 2 new breakouts when on the placebo pills, unlike having a full blown breakout during my periods, I am very happy with this pill."


"Great results with the drug, had long period with no sex and after the pill 3 times on the first night with no disfunction. The only side effect was a cracking headache for about 4 hours the next day. Worth it though."


"it does eventually work, but immediately after using it, it causes intense sneezing fits.  also, it causes the most unpleasant post-nasal drip--and try as i may (holding head down, sniffing less intensely), there doesn't seem there is any way to prevent this..."


"I wish this was around back when I was in high school!  I have struggled with acne for my whole teen/adult life.  I have taken Yaz on and off for 8 years now, and my skin never looks better than when I'm on Yaz.  The doc took me off last year because I was getting headaches and she was concerned the estrogen in the Pill was causing it, but after a year on the mini pill with the same frequency of headaches and the added terribleness of deep cystic acne, I am happily back on Yaz and already seeing an improvement in my skin.  Only complaint (mainly from my husband) is a slightly lowered sex drive."


"So I got the nexplanon inserted April 2016. It's May 2017...so a little more than a year. Over the first 6 months I was really happy about it. I didn't have a period, no worries about getting pregnant. it all seemed really good. These past 6 months however I have been bleeding off and on every two weeks. Sometimes I would even cramp like a on a regular period. I have noticed mood changes but didn't think anything of it until I felt like I couldn't get out of this state of sadness. Now I'm starting to think it's the nexplanon because there's no reason for me to feel this way. Also my sex drive feels down which is really unfortunate for my partner and I. It just depends on the person but this is starting to make me reconsider switching."


"Panic attacks and anxiety run in my family, and this helped me big time. I was scared to take any medicines after having a bad experience with another anxiety medication, but I took it finally and day three of my panic attack/no sleep was over! I could eat again and finally crack a smile. It did make me sleepy, and it felt a tad funny to walk. I only took them before bed to sleep unless I really needed it. It restored my confidence that I could be happy again and made me feel comfy just knowing I had them on me. I am off of them for now and on a different anxiety pill, because my doc didn't want me to become dependent on them. I do keep one or two in my purse for emergencies."


"I've had nexplanon for 6 months. I have gained 10 lbs which is what I didn't want to happen especially right after having a baby! I have been having anxiety attacks out of nowhere. The spot where it's located in my arm hurts from time to time. I have been spotting for a constant 3 weeks. I may end up getting it removed before the 3 years."


"Never improved symptoms...."


"I've been on and off birth control for about 15 years, stopping to have my two kids, and I recently tried this one because I liked the idea of only 1 period every 3 months or so. Ha!

First off, I've been spotting throughout. I'm on week 7, and I'm sick to the point that it's debilitating. Anxiety attacks, heart palpitations, constant nausea, diarrhea, stomach cramps, tremors, the whole shebang of misery. I was blaming it on a stomach bug my kids had, and I think I had that for a couple of days, but now it's been weeks, and I'm worse, definitely not better.

I'm switching back to my last birth control that never made me feel this way (Blisovi). I've been on at least 6 different pills over the years, and this is absolute misery."


"I've had my second infusion.  I'm already feeling a lot better.  I have more stamina and I've already stopped using my cane unless I'm going to be walking more than 15 minutes."


"I have been using this for almost a year now for peripheral neuropathy pain. This along with Lyrica and Pamalor have finally made it possible to live with somewhat normal levels of pain. Don't want to be without it."


" Had a sort of nervous breakdown during a trip.  Could not catch my breath and could not sleep for 4 days.  Horrible feeling of anxiety.  Dreaded the night. Started 1mg Ativan at night only.  Was a God-send.  Worked like a charm and gave me my life back.  I went to therapy and continued the nightly 1 mg for 3 months.  Became dependent as everyone does.  I then "pill chopped" my way off from 1mg to less than 1/2 mg over the next 3 months.  After 6 months I was off completely.  Feel good and glad to be pill free for 5 weeks now.  Properly used  - this medicine can be a lifesaver.  I still have them for peace of mind but find now I can live without it."


"I stated taking Saxenda Sept 3rd, I have lost 22 lbs as of Nov 3rd. Not only did this amazing medicine work, but I noticed it also increased my Libido more than ever. So far I have had none of the side effects that we might endure. "


"Zoloft was great for controlling my depression, anxiety and obsessive thinking. The side effects were not terrible, all but one of them went away in about a month. The ones that only lasted through the first month were: feeling tired and drained as well as an occasional but mild headache, however, the only long lasting side effect was decreased sex drive, which unfortunately never subsided for me, (the drive is still there, it just isn't as intense) This is a great medicine for depression, anxiety and obsessive thoughts, if you haven't tried it, please do."


"I became a bit suicidal on this drug. I'm an upbeat person and couldn't understand why I felt so low. I had been given the drug without packaging and side effects. I would urge caution in taking this drug"


"This medicine gave me the worst heartburn.  I have never had heartburn before and this hurts!  My whole chest is burning and gurgling and doing all sorts of crazy things.  "


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


"Was involved in a clinical trial for Aldara 3.75% three years ago. Documented 51 Actinic Keratosis lesions on face and forehead. Two treatments, six weeks in between. Severe reaction occurred on first round, including flu-like symptoms.  Also had less reaction on second treatment.  Follow-up exam found NO Actinic Keratosis sites.   One year follow up documented NO recurrence!  I'm a fan!  This is a miracle cure!"


"I got Lilletta in March (8 months ago) for just $30 at my local health dept. The insertion was very painful and I did have cramping for a few days afterward. My periods were pretty normal the first few months, and now I haven't even had a period for the past two months (which is great!) Besides the insertion pain, I am really liking Lilletta. It does its job. I have never had children, so I'm guessing that may be why the insertion pain was so bad. I will probably get it out before the 3 years are over, because I am newly married and wanting to get pregnant sometime next year."


"I had a colonoscopy this morning and it was a wonderful experience.  I went to a blissful sleep almost immediately, and awoke after the procedure with no pain or discomfort whatsoever. "


"For the past month I have been taking trazodone 25mg for my chronic insomnia. It has simply saved me. Before if I could get about 3 hours of sleep I would be happy. Since I have been taking trazodone I sleep about 6 hours every night and I'm able to function normally during the day. Before I was completely exhausted all the time and I would be scared of the thought of going to bed. Now this insomnia anxiety has completely gone away. The only negative thing is I do tend to have big mood swings. But I'm not sure whether it has anything to do with the medicine itself or simply my life situation. Overall - it cured my insomnia but not my depression."


"I have arthritis and I am waiting for a hip replacement. The cartilage has gone in my hip. I am walking on bone on bone with terrible pain.  I take 4 - 8 tablets a day depending on the severity of the pain. Ultracet controls the pain perfectly and I can walk almost normally. I have been on the medication for about 4 months now with no side effects. It's brilliant and I would recommend Ultracet for pain relief. It is the only painkiller that works for me."


"Tri-Sprintec works GREAT when used correctly of course and definitely helps to fight acne. However I have been on this medicine for 4 months and have gained 9 pounds (from 127lbs- 136lbs). While I enjoy this weight gain (for now) Its hard to recommend this to anyone else since everyone's body is different. But it works for me."


"I have been dealing with severe anxiety and depression for 16 years and it keeps getting worse and worse. I have no drive or ambition, lost my girl friend and job came to an end. It finally made me realize that I have to do something about this problem. I have been totally against medicines and have always disregarded mental illness but I now think it is mental illness that has put me in this terrible place. I have started taking Celexa 10 (20mg) days ago and am so excited to see the results. I have not noticed much response yet but I am generally less negative and have more excitement for things that I once loved."


"After taking Effexor for years, my doc switched me to Cymbalta. That was 3 years ago no effect for pain management."


"I have been on Pristiq for about 3 months.  I had insane anxiety and depression as well as insomnia that got so bad I ended up in the ER. I don't care if I ever come off of Pristiq because it works. I am normal again. I sleep, and for about 2 months I almost forgot what it was like to feel so anxious I could hardly function at work or life. I hesitated to start this medicine because my psychiatrist told me absolutely no drinking. I do have a few drinks on weekends and have no side effects from it. "


"I have been on this birth control for almost three months. Overall I really like it; it makes me feel the most normal. During the first two months, I got the absolute worst night sweats I've ever had in my life. I do not sweat often at all, but I was waking up dripping in sweat. I also have been getting painful stomach cramps every morning, but they don't last more that a few minutes. Overall, this is the least problematic pill I've taken."


"I was using Mucinex DM and just wasn't doing the trick for me.  I wasn't sleeping at night.  So got this and I am slowing getting back to sleeping without being interrupted with coughing."


"I have been on this patch since February. I LOVE it! My periods start the friday night/ early saturday morning of the week I am off my patch ( I change them on Mondays) and I am off by Tuesday night. My periods use to be extremely heavy and very painful but since starting the patch have been great! The weekend before I take it off for the week I am more irritable and bitchy but not horrible. I have started noticing though in the last 2- 3 months that on the weeks I am off the patch by Wednesday I am starting to get really depressed and not feeling like myself, and this is lasting until Monday when I put the patch back on."


"I had a reaction to cold medication so check with you doctor before you take anything. No real cravings, life is good."


"This medication works better on certain medical conditions, particularly spine pain of any kind, and moderate acute joint pain, and acute muscle pains. It is an opioid, though working differently from the other opiates,  and will act as one - in that you may get withdrawal symptoms if using it for a long time. Likewise if you start using it at higher doses (like 2 tabs) you will experience the nausea that comes with opiate use. Better to start it at a low dose of half to 1 whole pill, and work up if needed. Only take this pill at the minimum dose you require for the least amount of time necessary, unless your doctor tells you otherwise."


"It was 3am and I had an itch that wouldn't go away so I tried this. It tingled a little in the beginning but the itch seems to be gone."


"I've been on this for two months and its okay. I think its probably the best form of hormonal birth control just because it has a lot lower levels than other hormonal birth control options. It's nice not having to take a pill every day, but sex with this is uncomfortable for me so I have to take it out every time. Noticeable side effects: much more weepy, I cry over the most ridiculous things, breasts got bigger (one good thing), much much more prone to acne, so I have to watch what I eat, my sex drive has officially died. I used to be crazy for my boyfriend, now I don't want to bother. I'll be getting off this and going back to condoms if I don't get a sex drive soon."


"Worked great on the pain. But my AST levels went through the roof. I am now unable to take them. Awaiting MVD surgery that can't come soon enough. Please ensure your doctor gives you regular blood tests. Mine did not hence my liver problems."


"On week 7, I felt totally hormonal, agitated, emotional, sensitive & angry. My cholesterol is high, my AC1 is at 6.2

Week 8,

Called Dr., she bumped me up to 2 mg. will wait & see how this feels.

Will update in several weeks."


"It's marvellous! With one dose cystitis is gone!! Only problem I can't find it in UK I buy mine in Italy, where I'm from."


"I have been addicted to opiates for over a year now and Suboxone has been a miracle! I have my life back."


"I've been on it for a couple months. My cycle came 2 weeks early and hasn't stopped. I've been bleeding consistently for about 3 weeks. I've had a few pimples which is unusual for me. My appetite has stayed pretty consistent, I haven't had access to a scale for a month or more, so I'm not sure if I gained weight, but my clothes fit the same and I work out regular, so I don't think I have. If so I don't notice.  If my boyfriend was squeamish about blood I would be hating life right now. I've used the nuva ring awhile back, I didn't have any bleeding/spotting issues, but it made me crazy. I would cry for hours for no reason. I have felt mentally ok so far on Lyza, but I'm not sure how long I can take the seemingly eternal cycle."


"I have used Detrol for two months and it fixed the problem but it gave me headaches everyday.  I am switching to Vesicare to see if it works for me."


"Made me very irritable and tense."


"The pain went away when having a BM but after six weeks of rushing to, the bathroom and not making it in time I had to quit it.  Can't go thru that every morning."


"I am a mom to two sweet, high energy toddlers that challenge me every minute of the day. I did start feeling on the edge and extremely stressed with my older son. Now I have been on Lexapro for almost two months and so far I like it- feel more patient and calmer, but not a Zombie. I was very scared to gain more weight on top of my remaining pregnancy weight, but actually I started losing weight since my appetite decreased. I hope it continues. I am on 10mg. The side effect- super low libido and possibly feeling a bit more tired. If that's all I am going to experience, I will stick to it for for another 5-6 months. Overall it is way better than Celexa or Zoloft for me. Good luck!"


"So basically the same as everyone else . I took it for my first time a few years ago and tried it for a few months but my bleeding would go on for almost the whole month.
So I stopped

I started again in October and my period was late 19 or 20 days so I thought this time would be different. Ended up bleeding for a few weeks? Stopped December 31 or 1st then started again on January 7th and it isn't just spotting . I don't know why I decided to take it again. It was definitely a terrible decision. I'm not sure why I let my doctor talk me in to it.

I'm only giving it 2 stars because at least it's worked at not getting me pregnant.

 Definitely not getting my next shot."


"This medication really helped my anxiety and depression. I felt so much better--but it came with a cost.

This medication gave me severe Hypoglycemia.

I am not diabetic thankfully but on this medication it made my blood sugar drop severely low where I would almost pass out at work (and I work in a factory). So I'm sure you can imagine how awful I felt. It's a catch 22.

I felt better with my anxiety but then I got severe blood sugar drops.

So I'm off it now and have to start all over again on a new medication.

If this medicine works for you then great, I envy you.

This made me so sick I couldn't stand it.

So if you take this medication and start getting severely low blood sugar (you'll know trust me) stop taking it!"


"For the first 3-4 days of use my face was so sore and skin was so dry.I have very sensitive skin anyway due to illness but really felt as tho i could have happily quite the treatment didn't matter how much moisturiser i put on it felt like if i smiled my face would crack.I carried on with the treatment every other day instead of the recommended every day till i felt i can tolerate it everyday.Nearly a month after starting the treatment and i feel it's the best thing i ever did to persevere through the first few weeks.My face is clear still a bit dry but nothing a good moisturiser helps"


"Very pleased with Trulance. Have been dealing with crazy symptoms from other treatments, I asked my doctor and he told me about this. Works great and I have not had any side effects."


"I am here to talk about the pain. My experience was very traumatizing for me but that has everything to do with personal issues and some past experiences and nothing to do with the procedure. The beginning of the visit was like a normal pelvic exam visit. Little discomfort when I was being cleaned and prepped, the insertion of the device was the worst pain, feeling more like a strong contraction that just a period cramp. I am 26 and have one child. My Dr has told me that naturally I am very small and tight (I tore when I gave birth to my son) so that was a contributing factor in the pain. I look at it like getting a tattoo or piercing; 10 minutes (not even) worth of pain for 3 years of knowing you are safe. It was worth it to me."


"Started taking Citalopram 8 months ago for severe depression. First couple of weeks a bit scary but soon started to feel better. 8 months down the line I'm feeling better than I have felt for years! Lost weight, because I'm eating a lot healthier, therefore, I have more confidence now, which surely must be a help with depression. Sleeping better too. Still have the occasional bad day (but everyone does at some time or other) but no more dark thoughts. Yes, Citalopram works for me. So find a treatment that suits you and you will recover. Good luck."


"This medicine helped with constipation but gave me pretty major emotional issues. I was very moody and depressed. It also made me pretty tired. I wasn't able to sleep. I think it gave me aches in my joints as well. I would say stay far away!!! It's not worth it! I'd rather just take regular laxatives. At least those don't make me want to kill myself."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"This stuff is SO gross! I've managed to drink down 1/2 the Gallon so far, and NO bowel movement. It tastes so hideous I feel like i might puke. Not sure how I can keep drinking this."


"3 days to go on a 12 week treatment plan. Undetectable after 4th week  Unbelievable.  No side affects whatsoever."


"After being on this for 18mo I am happy to try something new. Where to start? All seemed fine then it started to snowball. Mood swings (crying over commercials!),   NO sex drive, break through bleeding that lasted longer than actual periods (3 days period, & 2 wks break through) & increased headaches.  "


"I have started to take this drug on January 18, 2017. Today is February 11 and I have lost 10 pounds. I am 5'5, 235lbs Down to 225lbs. I am at 1.8 dosage and have nausea, diarrhea, no appetite,  cramping,fatigue, and newly developed belches that taste like rotten eggs! I might need to back down to 1.2. I have been moving slow with the dose increases as well. Losing weight though but these side effects......we will see!"


"Was a minor help with my cough. Was a major help in giving me diarrhea. Needless to say, I would not recommend it."


"I have been an allergy sufferer for a long time.

When I started taking ALLEGRA 24 hrs. it worked just fine.

But, the problem is that this medication works as intended it work for 24 hrs. straight and it keep you awake for 24 hrs. Too.

So, if I take a pill of ALLEGRA, at night it keeps me awake.

In other words, I stay awake for most of the night and get not sleep at all.

This is the reason why I don’t recommend ALLEGRA because it will keep awake and get no sleep at all.

I need to find other way to fight my allergies."


"It works great at first then you have to keep increasing the amount every two weeks. By about a week into each increase I feel like its not working and I feel mania coming on. I always know because I start biting my fingernail. I'm about two months into and really think I should find something stronger. Or combine it with something else. You are not supposed to drink alcohol but that is he only way I have found to even out it not being strong enough for me. I you are taking it, and it is working for you, that is great!"


"My experience so far with embrel has been just brilliant! This is comming from someone who at one point had to get lifted out the bath, have someone wash my hair, get me dressed, put my shoes on. I currently taking the 50mg pre filled pen, just about to take my third dose today. The effects so far have been excellent and I have seen a huge improvement in the quality of my life! After 2 weeks of taking embrel I have no stiffness on a morning, I can go a full day without taking ANY pain killers (prior to this I had to take 2, 30mg codeine 4 times a day, followed by 2 500mg naproxen twice a day - just to function!!!) I have seen a big improvement in my hips (stiffness/pain) and the swelling in both of my knees has almost gone!!"


"I've been on pain meds for about 8 years. I have Disintegrating discs in my neck, bulging discs in my lower back, fibromyalgia, ovarian cysts, and I had major neck surgery last year. I've been on every pain med available and got up to 80mg OxyContin after my surgery. I was still hurting and even had DNA analysis which shows my body burns through meds at a much higher rate than most people. I started 600 Belbuca and I'm weaning off dilaudid which is what I had to switch to after oxy no longer helped me and next month I'll move up to 750 and be completely off dilaudid. I'm baffled at all the bad reviews. I've tried everything and for the 1st time in years I don't hurt and feel clear headed. The pack is hard to open but it's not a big deal."


"Idk what everyone in here is talking about. I got chlamydia from having unprotected sex, and then no symptoms for about a month, then they started. So went to the doctor, got the pills (2 500mg), and took them with a fairly large meal. I took them at 2 pm yesterday, went all day fine. Today it it now 2pm, and haven't had any cramps or any bad effects. Only thing that was weird was I took the biggest shit of my life, but it wasn't diareaha like everyone said. So I'm happy."


"I recently sought help from a psychiatrist and he prescribed me starter doses of Lamictal. He also gave me samples of Latuda for if I began to notice myself experiencing an episode. I noticed that I began to have a quick decline in to depression after a hypomanic state and reluctantly began to take the Latuda. It is AMAZING. After only 5 days of use, I already feel so much better.  Today  I just noticed that I am not depressed anymore, as I was a few days ago. I am able to take better care of my body (eating better, exercise) because I already am feeling so much better. I get very sleepy and some akathisia, I just take it at night to avoid those side effects."


"Chantix worked for me! I tried to quit many times using the patch and the cravings were always still too intense to continue not smoking for more than 48 hours. I smoked on Chantix slightly longer than the recommended week, but towards the end of that time, I was finding it difficult to finish a whole cigarette. It just wasn't desirable to me anymore. The first day not smoking on Chantix was still a bit challenging, but not unbearable. I had promised myself that if I made it 24 hours without a cigarette, I would never smoke again. After the first day, each following day was easier and easier. The only side effects I experienced were vivid dreams. I kind of liked it though. I am coming up on 4 years since my last cigarette this March."


"I had to stop taking it because of all the side effects. I had severe stomach pain. "


"I first got Implanon in July of 2011 and a month later I had my period for about a week, maybe a little longer which was strange for me because it usually only lasts a few days. It was very light though. I did get some acne due to the Implanon but after a couple of weeks it went away. I also still get the mood swings, but that could just be me..Now its been 2 months and I was scared because I haven't had my period at all but with reading other reviews I guess its normal. I absolutely love Implanon and I recommend it to any girl who is thinking about it!"


"I have been using Lo Loestrin Fe for 1 month now and I've had my period three times this month, breaking out like crazy, and have so many mood swings with depression. On my period i have medium-high cramps, back pains, and my breasts are sore. All the time!  I haven't really gained any weight which is good, but I'm going to keep using it and see if it gets better."


"I am 49 and been suffering with fibromyalgia for years. I have been disabled because of it. Six weeks ago I had the worst flare up in years and the pain was so overwhelming I barely left the house. I got a new doctor who gave me Gabapentin and started me out on the lowest dose possible. I had never heard of it but assumed because of the low dose, 100 mg to start with it would take a while to feel any effects. I woke up the next morning almost pain free. I felt like I won the lottery. I don't understand what or why it worked so fast but I thank God for it. I do have drowsiness but it's well worth it. I have had some pain some then and am still building up my dosage but my quality of life has improved drastically in just a few days."


"I've been on lolo for 8 months now. It's finally time I give my review. The first 3 months I had very light periods then after I just didn't have any periods. As we speak my breasts started to be tender. This is the first time in 8 months. Also I get yeast infection like every month. I am super dry down there even with foreplay. My sex drive is gone through the window. I do not have anymore mood swings so that's a plus. I'm taking an appointment to change my bc. I tried jasmin, alesse, IUD copper, marvelon, the patch. So yeah I've been around and tried them all. Maybe it just wasn't for me."


"I've had the Implanon for 6 months now - light periods and occasional cramps - but aside from that no bad side effects! I've even lost weight (only half a stone) so I guess it affects everyone differently! The first month was quite horrible as I was bleeding all the time! But afterwards it was all fine."


"Used this for bladder infection, works great no side effects, cleared up in 7 days."


"I was diagnosed with narcolepsy around 7th grade, and pretty much sleep through middle school. I took Ritalin about up to 10th grade which moderately helped me stay awake, but I still would always crash multiple times a day due to the fact that it doesn't completely eliminate excessive sleepiness and trying to perfect your taking-schedule really is crucial with any narcolepsy prescribed medication. When my neurologist started me on Provigil, I was pretty shocked by the lack of side-effects it had, and it was a somewhat natural awake feeling as others have mentioned. I went from taking 2 (200 mg) pills a day to taking 2-3 (200 mg) pills a day depending on my schedule, exercise, or exam studying. "


"I used to have really heavy periods and Sprintec has really lightened my period. It has also taken away the cramps, bloating and diarrhea that my period used to cause. My back pain has gotten worse though and I have started to get cravings. All in all it is great at lightening my flow and making it to where I don't have any "surprises." It's the first pill I've tried and I don't plan on switching."


"I wanna start by saying I have battled w acne for years & tried basically everything money could buy - pills to creams, going to specialists doctors, derms, beauty bars, etc. I went off the pill at 27 & thought my acne was done but had the worst flare up ever. Tried spironolactone which helped a tiny bit w oil but it was still so bad. Cysts under the skin, blackheads, acne on my back or chest, it was so embarrassing.

 I am going on my third month of accutane & it's been a miracle I feel like I could cry. My skin clear/smooth & people tell me I'm glowing. I still have scars all over that will need to heal & my skin can get hella dry--well everything gets dry bc you are super dehydrated but it is DEF WORTH IT."


"I give Trinessa a rating of 3 only because it was effective as birth control, but the side effects were not worth it. My skin broke out badly the very first day I was on Trinessa. I had inflamed, painful blemishes on my chin always in the same areas until I started taking the placebo pill, then it gradually got better.  I was also super emotional the entire time I took it; I even missed a day of work because I couldn't stop sobbing. Had similar experience switching from Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo to TriSprintec, only side effects were even more severe, so I only took it one week.  For me, definitely worth paying $60 more a month."


"I've been on this pill for 3m, then off for a month waiting on refills and back on. I get severe migraines and stomach pain on it. My energy is basically a no go and I'm just very disappointed that it's caused more bad for me then good. Definitely getting it changed soon."


"Viberzi has changed my life.I take it for IBS and I am very grateful for this medicine. I have been on it about 6 months now. I was the first person my Gastro doctor perscribed it to. If I forget to take a dose I will know because my symptoms come right back and I take my pill and I'm fine again. I do not forget to take it very often.

My insurance does not cover the medicine but I have  a discount card and I only pay $30 a month co pay. The original price is way to high. It is over one thousand dollars. I could never afford that monthly."


"I was prescribed this pill by my gynecologist, and it's free with my insurance. Prior to taking it, I had visited this website and read the reviews on it, and I was TERRIFIED. I was so nervous to start the pill, but I knew that everyone's body is different so I just had to try it, and EVERYTHING IS FINE. I only had the mild side effects that are generally anticipated on any brand- slight nausea for the first few days and some discharge for a little more than the first week, and currently breast tenderness. I just finished the second week of my pack, so I can't say that I know I'm adjusted yet, but for anyone who is nervous like I was- don't be afraid to try it, you can always change it!"


"I have taken Abilify for around 5-6 years. I initially was prescribed it at the age of 15 which is way too early in my opinion. However its had relatively few side effects, and has by and large helped me from my tendency to veare towards psychosis or extreme mood swings. Don't try and get off this drug on your own, it can have horrible consequences. I'm not totally sure what was the Abilify withdrawal and what was my illness, but I had some very extreme mania, that may have been a side effect of withdrawal. Overall Abilify is a very serious drug, don't take it lightly, and I wouldn't recommend it for depression. But it has helped me tremendously, and I don't have much else to say that is negative about it."


"I've had anxiety my entire life, specifically with social interactions, and in the past year or two have experienced severe panic attacks. The anxiety and panic are linked to my depression, which altogether led to me being hospitalized. When I was there, they prescribed lexapro for my depression and hydroxyzine for my anxiety. The hydroxyzine meds took me out like a light, I could not stay awake to save my life. And when I was awake, I was completely out of it. After a few months of using it and getting used to it these side effects stopped, however it was hell waiting for them to stop. I would not recommend to anyone working, as I was at the time, but if you're willing to wait out the period of absent-mindedness, it can help calm you down."


"I am doing great with this medicine. I have never had any side effects during the 7 months I have been taking this medication. My viral load went from 248,000,000 to only 160. My ALT levels are normal, and hopefully with enough time, Tenofovir can get rid of the virus. However, I am not sure if there is something else going on, such as calcium loss or any unnoticeable side effect.

In conclusion, Viread is a very effective treatment for Chronic HBV with almost no side effects."


"Ibuprofen is wonderful for period pain, takes an hour to work and I take 2 x 200mg tablets every 8 hours.  Have been taking ibuprofen for a few years now and it's always done the job so far, until this week that is. I was admitted to hospital with an immune system that almost shut down because of a reaction to ibuprofen.  I consider myself very lucky that I did a routine blood test and found out this information, was told to stop taking the medicine immediately.  Please be careful even if you've taken this medicine on a number of other occasions as I have done."


"I was super nervous for my Mirena insertion and for no reason! The process from start to finish was about 2 minutes and I had zero pain. The most significant discomfort was the speculum which was mild. I highly recommend Mirena to anyone looking for long-term, low maintenance birth control."


"I have degenerative disc disease and had spinal fusion and stenosis surgery in my lower back. For years I have been on Norco 7.5mg/325 (1 pill 4x a day as needed.) and for the most part that took care of my pain. Roughly the past year my dr decided to reduce the Norco by half and added MS Contin. 15mg 1 pill twice a  day. It didn't help much. For me it takes the MS Contin three hours for me to notice any difference and it only helps for about six hours leaving three hours before I can take another. He upped it to 30mg in the morning and 15mg at night. Still not seeing anything different. This Friday I am going to ask him if I can just go back on the Norco at my old regiment. It seemed to work better for me then these extended release meds."


"I took this pill for 3 weeks, then entered the placebo week.  It has caused MASSIVE hair loss for me.  There is nothing to be done but wait for it to leave my bloodstream.  I have long hair that is coming out in ropes and bunches.  I would never recommend this to a friend.  I am devistated with the results of the side effects."


"Ive been taking this medication for 5 days straight twice a day, today (the 5th day) I couldn't take the last pill, I've been having nausea, fatigue, and a terrible headache for 5 days straight. I also had bright red eyes and I couldn't sleep because it all hurt so much, and my lower back is very sore, the uti had gone away so I figured not taking it would do more good than bad. Worst experience with a medication I've had, it got the job done but the side effects are terrible especially when you're a straight A student needing to keep up with school."


"I was switched to ortho tri cyclen lo but the pharmacy gave me this birth control claiming it was the same thing, i have been on it for almost 2 weeks and I've had all sorts of side effects. I've had nausea and vomitting, blurry vision, trouble concentrating, itchiness, dryness, zero libido, recently i've experience episodes of anxiety what i believe, high blood pression, high heart rate then drops to normal vital signs. It's just been an awful 2 weeks so far. I don't think i can handle continuing the pack."


"I have been battling diarrhea for over 10 years.  My GE doctor prescribed asacol, vsl#3, and xifaxan.  I took all in combination and had almost instant relief.  Then I stopped taking the prescribed drugs for 6 weeks and the symptoms started to return. I resumed taking vsl#3 and asacol with mediocre results.  I then added xifaxan and my bowel movements returned to normal. I wonder how long and how frequently I will have to take this drug before I am permanently cured of this condition."


"I was on this medication for about 14yrs.
I am multiply disabled, with PCOS & Diabetes type 2, being the reasons why I was on this drug.
Its an excellent drug, one that I was comfortable taking for many years, but recently was having issues with it.
It started making my GERD get really bad.
Also the smell of the pills themselves made me want to puke daily."


"a very good product. it works..shame that the company has jacked the price up so much that its no longer affordable...greed is a very bad thing"


"I have been on dilantin since I was about 17.  It has been working a lot better than the depekene I was taking before.  When I was pregnant and started to gain a lot of weight, My doctor had to increase the dose.  I am 31 now and my seizures are very well controled while on dilantin."


"I have recently been placed on Abilify 20mg for early onset schizophrenia.  Previously I was on Amisulpride which made me very tired and gave me problems with sexual dysfunction, Abilify has provided me with a symptom free solution."


"I been suffering from herniated disc, osteoarthritis, restless leg syndrome for about 5 years now, I took so many different medication but nothing helped. My husband who was recently diagnosed with MS of the spinal cord started taking Tramadol for pain. He told me that is very good medicine and was helping him with pain and his mobility. I told my doctor to prescribe it to me and he did. I take it twice a day and feel great. I am pain free and I have so much energy, I also have clear mind, I can concentrate better. I recommend this medicine to anyone who is suffering from pain. Try it and you will see what I mean."


"After being on this for 5 days, my urianry tract infection was *almost* gone. I had to ask for another prescription. During the time I was on it on I noticed shortness of breath, almost twice a day I tasted metal and noticed I had small nosebleeds. I also couldn't really go out in the sunlight, as it hurt my eyes a lot and my skin felt like it was burning."


"My Doctor put me on Spiriva a year ago for my COPD.  It has helped me to be able to breathe so much better. I used to be sick all the time and had bronchitis every 2 months that went by. Since Spiriva, I have not been sick but a few times. It is a blessing to me."


"I was prescribed Vicodin as a rescue med for migraine. I've only used it 3 times but have had to cease using it because it makes me itchy all over my body. I don't get a rash, just very itch, it drives me nuts.
I was taking 2 x 10/325 tablets (after taking 4 mg Zofran). It doesn't completely take away my migraine. I can still function. I need a little nap, then I can get up and work, drive car etc. It did wonders for my neck and back pain I am currently getting physio on, but it hasn't been a wonder rescue drug for migraine. I've been given a different narcotic rescue med to try. Hopefully I won't need to use it. I am on Depakote as a preventative and use Cambia as an abortive. These both work well, especially if I take the Cambia early."


"I have a pretty tough stomach, but started to get this pain in my right side every time I breathe. Went to the doctor and they tested for chlamydia, how exciting. 18 and already having to explain to my boyfriend that he needs to get tested. Currently laying in bed in the fetal position sounding like I just ran a marathon by the way I'm breathing. Talk about cramps. I took the 4 pink pills maybe an hour to an hour and a half ago tops. Gets the job done fast, but pretty excruciating. Took a zofran and some melatonin, so far so good. I guess this is just payback for my not so bright college ideas of "it's okay he doesn't need a condom"... Use protection..."


"I've been taking orthocyclen for about 2-3 years now, and I pretty much gained like 20 pounds. I gained about 10 pounds the first time I took it. And I decided to get off of it for awhile, then I went back on it and gained 10 more pounds. I've pretty much been eating the same since even before I got on birth control. I feel like that's the only problem I have... Gaining weight. I'm currently 150 pounds now. Before I started taking birth control, I would NOT get my period every month, but since I started taking it, I've been getting them every month. I'm gonna stop taking these pills because my doctor recommended taking Lutera instead for a female my age (17)."


"Had unprotected sex right in the middle of my cycle.  Took this roughly 24 hours after having sex.   I felt pretty emotional for a few days afterwards.  Not sure if that was from the pill or the situation I put myself in.   Anyway, for about a week and a half I felt nauseous, had cramps, was very tired and had headaches.   I also started spotting about 2 weeks after taking it.   I thought I was starting my period.  However my actual period was delayed a couple days.  Very happy this product exists!  I will not put myself in the situation to have to use it again, however."


"I went to my gyno, she gave me a prescription for this. I took it at night around 11:45pm and went home, showered, and went to bed. SO I didn't feel any side effects cause I was sleeping. No nausea, no dizzy, no pain. This pill is Free with my insurance and refills on this for a full year. (some ppl say take two, so maybe in a week I will get another)"


"Awful pill! I started taking this pill three months ago as my previous pill was making me hypersensitive to the sun (Gedarel). I think I'd rather live like a vampire than try and cope with the mood swings from this pill. My poor fiancé has even mentioned how bad my mood swings have been and it makes me feel awful being so up and down all the time. I am going to change it this week and hopefully be more successful with the next one.
I am a very happy go lucky person and this pill is the worst I have ever been on. I have been on Micro 30, Dianette and Gedarel in the past 7 years and is one is by far the worst.
My sister is on this one too and she is fine so just goes to show how individual it can be to react to certain pills."


"Has helped me in controling my pain level. Does not get rid of all the pain but makes it easier to live with."


"Very positive...been on it 40 mg now and I feel like a very different person, 38 yrs of major gray heavy depression has vanished. I now live in my day not to just get through it. "


"I was put on Ritalin when I was 6. I did not like it. I took myself off of it when I was 14. My grades plummeted, I developed depression, and then anxiety. I continued to become lethargic, and relied heavily on caffeine. I am now 25. I began to take Adderall recently due to severe trouble concentrating at work, thinking it may help me keep my job. Now that my body seems to be used to the medication I can hardly tell I'm on it. I have noticed improved memory, focus, and concentration. I did have some very adverse side effects accidentally combining with caffeine. I've found now that my body has adjusted I have no side effects and my concentration remains improved, and bonus, no depression. I do worry about cessation."


"When switching to a lower dose of birth control, my pharmacy switched me from Microgestin to Blisovi.  Within 24-48 hours after my first dose, I developed an itchy rash on my abdomen.  I went to the doctor who suspected it was an allergic reaction and prescribed a steroid cream.  The rash continued to spread and increase in severity, until I stopped the Blisovi."


"Been taking Dexilant for over a year. Have had diarrhea almost daily and have now began having joint pain and a general tiredness and ill feeling. Works great for reflux but seems to be having an adverse effect on my entire system."


"I have spent nearly 5 years on this birth control, taking it continuously, to help keep my endometriosis under control.  I have been on many different pills over the years, including very high doses of estrogen.  They would work for the first year, then I would get constant breakthrough bleeding.  I've always had issues with acne, but this pill didn't make it any better or worse.  I have occasionally suffered from random cramps, usually due to shifting the time I took my pills during the time changes of the year.  I am vigilant about taking it the same time every day, have never had a pregnancy scare, and was hoping to continue with it indefinitely, however, my insurance provider had other plans.  I am hoping to go back on it again ASAP."


"After reading ONLY bad reviews I was so scared to get it. But what made me more scared, was thinking I was pregnant every time my period came even one day late. I now have unprotected sex almost every day with my boyfriend and I have had a normal (little lighter actually) period. Don't let the reviews scare you. It was worth being crabby for a couple months. "


"The best for a diabetic type 1. IT's better than a needles four times a day. Now.it's only once a day!!
I think it's worth every penny. I would pay even if my insurance doesn't cover it. I went to alot of Doctors to get it. Most said no,but I kept trying. IT was worth it!!! DON't get it if you LOVE needles!!"


"I didn't find one review to relate to my specific situation. I decided to have sex while my period was still on, it was on the days where your period is almost gone and you're just leaking  a bit. The condom broke. I panicked because I'm fairly new to having sex. My Bf bought take action, I took it about 6-7 hours after the incident. I was worried b/c my period wasn't off so I knew I would have to wait exactly a month to see if it worked which was nerve wrecking. After i took the pill I bled for about 3 days, weeks after I was very bloated, had increased white discharge , and very dark brown spotting. Yesterday i got my period, exactly a month after taking the pill. Cramps were bad and my period is lighter. RELAX it works it just takes time"


"It works. I have lost 10 pounds so far. Starting week 4. I could have lost more if I could get my love of beer under control. First few days were tough, serious nausea in the morning after taking the pill, also felt very mild depressing and fatigue. Subsided in 2-3 days. Feel no side-effects now. I still have an appetite but not as much prior to starting Belviq. Breakfast: fruit. Lunch: small sandwich or salad (easily turn away from chips or sweets). Snack: Apple. Dinner: Salad or small meal. Staying under 1800 calories per day. I've been keeping a food journal which has been eye-opening how many calories are in my daily intake. I feel like this will work for me but will be a long process."


"I have never actually taken Valtrex, but I took my first pill today. Swelling seems to have gone down, and the pain has gone down quite a bit. Hopefully by Monday, it will be completely gone if I continue to take Valtrex. "


"Make sure and take the shot on your thigh. It hurts less. Also, do not buy into the advice about icing the area or letting the shot sit out for a bit to warm up some. It hurts the same. I have been on Enbrel for five months. The big red spots do go down after a week on the first few shots and after a month you only get a mark for a day or two. My advice is to give yourself your shot on a Sunday and by the weekend you'll have no mark. I am in college and it is not that bad. I am on 50 mg which has not worked well and my doctor is going to increase my dosage. It helps some, but Celebrex is still my go-to for pain. Wash your hands a lot!"


"The first month I was on the patch, I bled for the entire month and was completely miserable! My second patch also fell off 10 minutes after I put it on so I had to use my third patch and then wear it for 8 days because I had to get my next prescription a week early. The next month, my period was lighter but I got it twice, both shorter than my usual 8 day cycle. This third month, I've had unbelievable cramps that no medicine will relieve and incredible nausea. On the bright side, I'm not pregnant, though I'm not sexual active, and my acne has cleared up a lot. Not sure if it's worth it though."


"On for 9 weeks.  Started dose gradually as prescribed, 2 days I had constant diarrhea.  Immediately, my cravings were gone for SUGAR & CHOCOLATE, but keep reading! At full dose (2am, 2pm), I had constipation, got better after taking Colace.  I felt fine all day & night, but when the evening dose had worn off by the am I would wake up SHAKING & HEART RACING. Felt better after next dose, but shaky all day. One day I almost passed out after normal exercise. Then Non-Stop Nausea set in so now I could not eat and felt like vomiting just from looking at food!  Drug made me ANXIOUS & Jittery so I stopped it. Lost weight..20 pounds in 9 wks, mostly because of NAUSEA, but side effects were not worth the weight loss."


"I was diagnosed last April 2014 I believe I was infected June 2013 that was the only time I experienced a really bad cold with night sweats, high temperture, chills. I thought it was just a cold. I was together with my partner for 10 years and he never disclosed that he knew. I kept on seeing billboards regarding HIV and it felt as if they were in every corner. I got tested and it came out positive in April 2014 I was freaked out. Cd4 at 450, I decided to take atripla yesterday 4/7/15 because I felt I needed for my own health I was freaked out and still am. No side affects other than drowsy at night and a bit of insomnia. Let's see how this works for my body. I pray I look normal. "


"LOVE IT, my first day and I already feel better. I have tried every antidepressent out there, side effects were never a problem, they just didn't seem to help with the depression and when they did stop me from crying they stopped any type of feelings I was a zombie, and none of them helped with the motivation. Not to sure how Viibryd will do in that area but I have my hopes up. I hope it keeps working and I can afford it. For the first time in years I feel better."


"I have been taking 30 mg of Temazepam nightly for about 3 months.  This is the 2nd time that I have taken it.  I took it for about 2 years and it eventually quit working so I tried both Ambien and Trazodone.  Ambien was all right until it quit working after about 4 months.  I couldn't take Trazodone at all because it made me very dizzy and caused me to have horrible nightmares so I am back on Temazepam.  So far, it has been working well but this time I have been taking it with 10 mg nightly of Melatonin.  I started with 3 mg of Melatonin and have gradually increased it to 10 mg nightly.  The combination of Temazepam and Melatonin seems to be working very well for me.  I go to sleep fairly quickly and stay asleep with no bad dreams."


"With this product I experience breast tenderness, drowsiness, headaches, and for the first month I was constantly nauseous. It has prevented pregnancy thus far though."


"I am a 15 year old boy and am on my high school's swim team. After a few months of not really working out, after a few weeks of intense training severely agitated my shoulders and any time I moved my arms I was struck with really severe pain. I was put on this medicine immediately, and it was an absolute miracle. It was like a pain eraser. With taking this medicine, I went to PT for about 10 months, and am now off of it. I think this made my experience a lot easier and highly recommend this to anyone with severe pain."


"I read the Accutane horror stories, so I turned down my dermatologists suggestion of it. After 4 more years (25 now), the cystic acne has just been getting worse and worse. It was seriously impacting my life. I just finished a month ago doing a 5 month 60mg/day treatment and my skin is flawless. I cannot believe it. I actually have better skin than people who I once thought had beautiful perfect skin. I experienced some joint pain the first month and dry lips the entire time, but I started seeing reductions in acne by month 2 and had no new cysts by month 4. There are still a few that are healing (yes, I would get some cysts that take 6-8 months to heal). I would highly recommend this. I have so much of my life back not worrying about skin."


"I took Levora for the first time when I was 21 and the first day I felt really bad. I felt nauseated all day, I wanted to quit there then but I am honestly glad I did not. It was great after that, I did not experience any weight gain or acne issues. "


"After I take the first dose (2 pills) within 8 to 10 hours I feel 50% better.  It usually does not take more then 4 days to be well.  This is a great medication for sinusitis."


"Was on it for three months and I loved it! I never once spotted, sex drive increased, didn't gain any weight at least not that I'm aware of and I didnt breakout more than usual."


"First I had partial seizures (after head injury in 2004) and after grand mal 2014 I almost died because of status epilepticus. After that I am on Keppra 1000mg a day (500mg morning, 500mg evening) for 2 years now. First month or two I had headache and double vision, sometimes I was a bit aggressive
but after few months it was ok. For me it is good medicine, now i have 10 petit mals a year and I think that bad-heavy weather changes is causing them.
I want to tell you, that after first or second month side effects went away. For me it is important, that I take Keppra with good meal in morning and evening. It is good medicine, just do not give up.
Love you all."


"I had my Nexplanon put in on 2/24/15 and the only side effect I have had is trouble swallowing, sore throught, sleep deprivation and frequent urination. My period stopped that night and my sex drive has increased. The only thing I don't like so far is the frequent urination because I have to use the bathroom like every 10 to 20 mins and I cant really move my arm because of the pain but im loving it so far."


"I have suffered from Acne since I was around 9 years old (I am now nearly 23). I have started my 3rd month  on Doxcycline 100mg  once every morning. At the beginning of every month my face broke out with lots of whiteheads, this month has been the worse, slowly healing now but has left me with scaring. Hoping this will get better in the 3rd month as thats where people see most results. Whoever is on 50mg once a day for acne, you need to go back to your doctor/dermatoligst and up the dose, apparently 50mg won't do nothing for acne its a too lower dose. This is what my doctor told me. I have had no side effects as if yet."


"I have agraphobia (social disorder) I was confinde to my home to scared to get in a situation I couldnt get out of. My fiance was always trying to get me out of the house. He just didnt understand. I started xanax and it saved my life Now im in college and Im not scared to go out. I take the blue one twice a day."


"I am a 40 yr old African American female. I have had uncontrolled high blood pressure for over 7 yrs and it has caused slight damage to the left side of my heart. I am seeing a cardiologist who has tried about 7 different medications within the last year to treat my condition. March, this year, they gave me samples of Bystolic 10mg to take along with my 300/25 Avalide daily. At first, the results looked very promising; however this medication was recently approved in Jan. 2008."


"Be careful ! this is a strong drug, it's effect is amazing and sometimes you feel HIGH.
But...it causes dependence worse than cocaine...and loses the effect after some months..
SO GUYS ALWAYS TALK WITH THE DOCTOR NEVER USE THIS FOR TOO LONG !!!"


"I developed horrendous headaches after a traumatic brain injury a year ago. After trying far too many non-narcotic alternatives and Percocets, interspersed with several trips a month to the ER for a shot of morphine, my doctors and I have come up with Dilaudid to deal with the bad headaches. I take a single 11mg dose of Dilaudid with two Dramamine and an Ativan, followed by a second Ativan 2 hours later. I go from agony to "let's go to Ikea" in about an hour. I do take a daily neurostimulant (300mg modafinal) for chronic fatigue that may offset the drowsiness you might expect from that combo, but it has been a huge gain for my quality of life. The trick seems to be to get enough Dilaudid at once to stop the pain."


"Every time I'm prescribed Amoxil I have yeast infections for a week or so. Diflucan is also a given."


"This medicine is very good for my sinus, I feel very well now."


"DO NOT EVER BUY AFRIN NASAL SPRAY. Until Bayer gets themselves together and makes a cap that actually comes off, do not waste your time and money with this product."


"Horrible side effects. Was on for 1 month but was nauseated and vomited every day for that month. I give it a two only because it didn't make me suicidal, as some other Rx's have (cough-Cymbalta)

Now on Viibryd and doing much better (and not vomiting!)  :)"


"Meh, I like it for the sheer convenience factor. In 1 year, I've gained 60lbs with and w/o dieting. I, in my late 30s, have reentered puberty (maybe menopause) with the new found acne and mood swings. Cramps are here and there, severe as they may be, they're not the worst side effect. I'm very arthritic now, some joints are crippling to try and use. Hot flashes suck, although I saved a fortune on heating this winter. Acid reflux was increased. My hair is super brittle and dry now.
Now for the plus side. I DO NOT bleed anymore :) I may decide to suffer through on that alone. It has helped my depression and anxiety, so much that I have been able to almost wean off the antidepressants.
I love the shelf life of five years too."


"2 days before Christmas I came down with diarrhea and it continued to get worse. Many trips to the Drs and hospital and finally after 4 months was sent to a Specialist. He put me on 6 pills a day, 625 mg Welchol.  I had gone from a size 20 to a size 12, no energy, headaches, pains and shakes (from diarrhea). This medication has worked wonders for me. I am so happy that I don't have to look for the nearest bathroom and stay close to it any longer. I have had no side effects either. I have gained 2 pounds too. I take all 6 pills at one time about 4 hours after my morning medicines. Welchol works wonders for me."


"I was prescribed risperdal for schizophrenia ages 12-16 around 10 years ago now and it's a huge reason as to how I was able to stay in public school. Other people still noticed I was "different" but it did wonders for both visual and auditory hallucinations, racing thoughts, and paranoia. It never could fully help my delusions though. I gained a bit of weight, but what ultimately led me to no longer take the medication was the zombifying effect it had and how I felt it changed my personality. Might be okay for others though."


"I've been taking Paxil since I was 9 years old. I'm now 19. Paxil has changed for the best. As a child I missed 4 months of school because I was so scared and nervous, I would puke until my parents told me I didn't have to go then I would instantly feel better. I tried in middle school to stop taking Paxil but I became scared, nervous, and edgy. It has just given me a little balance and control over myself, I'm very thankful for Paxil and that medication has come so far and has offered neurological help and relief to those who need it"


"First time Mucinex DM user. I like the extended relief because it really does provide extended relief from the severe coughing that is characteristic of bronchial infections. The medication did make me a little drowsy, so some caution is recommended especially if you are not able to take time off to rest. I also recommend drinking lots of fluid too. You may notice that your urine smells like the medication."


"My experience was so bad that even though I only used the drops for four or five days. I thought maybe I was  just too sensitive! But it's been over THREE MONTHS SINCE I USED THEM and my lids feel like they stick together; I am unable to tolerate any light shining in the right one and must keep it patched all day, everyday! I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED SUCH HORRIBLE PAIN, HAVE LOST MY PERIPHERAL VISION IN THE RIGHT EYE, CAN'T LOOK DOWN OR SIDE TO SIDE! I'D RATHER KILL MYSELF THAN GO ON WITH THE PAIN AND LOSS OF VISION THIS STUFF HAS CAUSED!!!"


"Diagnosed with major depression and anxiety. Been on Prozac for all of 6 days and it's already changed me in a lot of ways. Some good, some bad, pretty jarring altogether. Morning after 1st use had severely suicidal thoughts. Instant loss of appetite and libido. Been an over eater most of my life. However, today was the first day in 6 days that I put food in my mouth. Zero libido all of a sudden, which I thought was great at first. Want to stick with it but really afraid about my libido."


"A year ago I was put on Paxil for PTSD, depression, anxiety.
All I can say is do your research because this is a mind altering drug. It can put you in a childhood state ,time loss, carefree and not in a good way.
DONT TOUCH THIS STUFF. If you do be careful of the major things doctors don't tell you."


"Davorcet is the only pain medicine I trust and it works for me."


"Have been on it several times for stones. I actually request it from my doctor each time I have a problem stone.  While it helps pass stones easily the dizziness is a major factor for myself. But I will continue to use it!"


"I have had the most positive experience with Generess Fe. I have been taking it for over 2 years and couldn't be happier. I simply feel like myself and have not had any issues adjusting to it. My body did not react in a negative way and I have not had any problems with weight gain. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you're curious about it. Also, their savings card really does work and I never pay over $25/mo for my prescription even though my insurance does not cover it at this time."
