"I had no unpleasant side effects on this medication, bar the cystic acne it caused!

Very good in the sense that you don't have to remember to take a pill etc. but unfortunately for me, it caused very bad acne. Once I had it removed, it was approx. 2 weeks before my skin had totally cleared up."


"I took one little 10mg and a Adderall 10mg as well. And let me tell you THOSE DO NOT MIX. I was at school and the time and I tried to write and my are was what felt like 50 pounds and I just sat there smiling like I was very high."


"Hello, so far  I feel okay... I just literally got the Mirena at 12pm today. The reviews I just read has me super scared but I'm going to do updates along with changes in my weight.  Right when I got it, it felt like the starting of my menstrual cycle. (felt like everything was falling out) the insertion felt like a mean as pinch and as if someone was drawing a straight line with a sharp pencil inside you but it was really really quick!!!!! I took a motrin right afterwards so now at 2:31 I feel fine!!!!!"


"I took this pill from 18-25 when I had my first baby.  After, I was prescribed a different pill that was just ok.  After the birth of my 2nd son I tried Mirena and it wasn't in place correctly so I didn't want to try again.  Then, I went to Nuvaring, it was awful! Heavy bleeding on a crazy schedule and hormonal migraines that hadn't existed with other birth control. I am so happy to be back on Avaine as I have no notable side effects."


"This drug has been a miracle for me.  I had severe hypertension for 20 years and was taking the maximum dosage or more of all of the classes of medications.  When Spironolactone was added, my blood pressure came down almost immediately.  Since then, nearly all of my other medications have been stopped, I am feeling great, and my blood pressure is well controlled."


"I do belive everybody experiences different symptoms. It's my third box of Yasmin and I'm probably gona give it one or two more shots but I'm thinking of quiting it. First box of my pills was a 21 day long nightmare.  I had breakthrough bleeding whole month I wasn't even sure when my period started, I had huge intestinal problems. Went for two abdominal ultrasounds because of constant bloating, overly active guts and diarea/constipation (it switched every 2 or 3 days). My breasts, dear Lord, I never felt so tender in my entire life. Luckly, as the next box came, bleeding stopped so did tendernes. I still do feel bloated and gassy but it's lot better. Gonna give it one more shot but I just don't feel it's suiting me."


"I was hesitant to try this but I really didn't want to have a hysterectomy. I've already had one ovary/tube out due to my endometriosis. I was recently diagnosed with also have adenomyosis now. It was Depo-Provera, Lupron or a hysterectomy. I read so many terrible reviews that it had me nervous but I tried it anyway. I've gained a few pounds but am also 45 and lazy so that may be the more likely culprit. My acne is actually gone. I've had no endometrosis symptoms. My hair is slightly thicker. For me it's been a miracle. We're hoping to be able to have these results until menopause hits."


"I've been on this pill for almost 2 months and it's given me horrible headaches. I never get headaches. I've tried taking Advil and Tylonal but nothing seems to help. I've had large blood clots and spotting. This will most likely be my last month as it's not worth the side effects. My doctor prescribed it for endometriosis and heavy periods. I'd rather have my 12 day heavy periods than constant headaches, huge blood clots and spotting."


"I am 16 and I have been on Solodyn for about a year and a half. The first month I started taking it my skin cleared way up, but then it got bad again. Now, if I stop taking it, I breakout worse than before so it is really just keeping my acne somewhat controlled but it had NOT cleared up my face at all."


"I've been on this about 3 weeks and have had horrible mood swings and terrible acne. I don't think I can take this anymore."


"Lexapro was fine. It wasn't great, but it also wasn't awful. It did lessen my anxiety, but not as much as I had hoped. Every time I went up in dose, I would start to dissociate more frequently, so that didn't really help. I completely lost my ability to orgasm, was constantly constipated, had headaches, and needed 10-12 hours of sleep a night to even begin to function the following day. Coming off of Lexapro was a disaster. I had brain zaps and sweats, and developed major depression, which I hadn't really dealt with ever before."


"I've taking dramamine a couple of times with good results however the other day I took it and it was a disaster.  I usually experience agitation and dizziness while being a passenger in a car and it usually dulls it but, this time... it made my symptoms substantially worst I developed sensitivity to light , sound , and even temperature felt more intense and that was in addition to the agitation and dizziness.  Please use with caution."


"this gets rid of my acne overnight! Although , it drys my chin out so bad to where it looks like I have a super bad sun burn and my skin is peeling . Cerave moisturizing cream helps the pelling though!"


"This is a great medicine. I have known that my daughter now 7, has always been extremely energetic and talkative her entire life, but her impulsivity, inability to concentrate on work (or play), and energy were really interfering with her school and home life. I was so stressed out every day. The behavioral problems were never ending. I mean this child was ALWAYS in trouble, poor girl! She is now like the little girl that I always knew was hiding away in there, but would only rarely come out, she has all of the same positive personality traits plus more. I feel like I can finally connect with her, like her brain just clicked and she is now living in the same reality as everyone around her instead of lost in her  mind. It does make her sleepy."


"Great! Cleared Hep C genotype 1a with twelve weeks of treatments in combination with Sofosbuvir.  A miracle!"


"I switched from Vestura (generic Yaz) to Jolivette about a month and a half ago - I thought perhaps the Vestura was causing me to have a lower-than-usual libido.  At first I felt no different, which was to be expected as a switch can take time to kick in.  Just after I started my second pack I began to feel constantly and uncomfortably bloated.  I read around and found that this severe bloating had affected many other users of Jolivette.  It's unbearable and makes me feel like I'm always pregnant!  I did take a couple tests just to be sure I wasn't and I'm not, just feeling super uncomfortable 24/7.   I asked my pharmacy to switch me back to Vestura - the constant discomfort is not worth the possibility of a slightly increased libido"


"I was on Ortho Evra for just about 6 months. I had issues where my whole body would be itchy. I went through visits with a dermatologists and was told it was eczema but then after paying attention to have the patch off for the week of my period I had no symptoms so we found out the hard way that it was indeed the patch that was causing these symptoms. I'm sure this is great for some people, it was very convenient. I chose to be on it because I can't remember to take the pill but this just doesn't work for me."


"I took this pill for 8 months and had zero side effects except no period. I stopped taking birth control for 4 months then started again with same pill. Have been taking for 4 months now. First two months I broke out a little and didn't get my period. Third month had very little spotting for 4 days, and I'm about to end the fourth pack. I've had very minor side effects. I personally enjoy not having a period to worry about every month, instead just light spotting every 2-3 months. I haven't broken out since the 2nd month, I guess my body was getting used to the birth control."


"I am one of the few that have not had a good experience.  High anxiety because my heart won't slow down, bad headache, little nausea, and loose stool. I'm going tomorrow to get different antibiotics."


"I'm 27 years old and have been on Yaz for a year.  Overall my periods were lighter and shorter, but Yaz has severely decreased my sex drive.  It also makes me feel emotionally flat. I'm switching to another pill."


"I have been on Qsymia for about 5 weeks and have lost about 15-17 pounds. Now my weight has plateaued and I can't seem to shake anymore weight off. It goes up two pounds, down two pounds, the same as before I began taking the pills. I have added some light exercise into my regimen and have gone down a clothing size. I'm happy with that. I think my body is adjusting/adapting to the medication.  I'm thinking of going off the Qsymia for a week or so to get it completely out of my system and start all over again. My cravings for sweets/candies have all but gone away. Every once in a while I'll indulge, but not nearly like I used to. I don't think about food until I'm actually hungry."


"My son has high functioning autism and the doctor prescribed this medication for outburst and agitation. It did the exact opposite. He became more aggressive and physically abusive to the point he could no longer go to school and learn anything else. It took time to gradually take him off the medication and once we did he was so much better. An ADHD medication worked much better."


"I first thought Mirvaso was effective, but it actually increased the redness of flushing and made my skin even hotter. After two weeks of trying it I have stopped using it and hope my rosacea goes back to what it was before, which was not good, but better than after using Mirvaso."


"As I mentioned in Part 1, the phentermine gave me so much ENERGY. I began cleaning my entire house. The only side affect I remember was a very dry throat. I've only been on the pill for 4 days. I went to bed that night. I woke up with a rapid heartbeat. It scared me. I knew it was the phentermine. After the 2nd day, I haven't had any more rapid heartbeats waking me up out of my sleep. The pill causing me to drink more water than I usually do.(LOVE IT) I got on the scale today. SW 180lbs Nov. 8, 2017.
CW 175lbs Nov. 11, 2017. It really decrease my appetite. I haven't started exercising yet. I'm just eating smaller portions."


"Works better after taking it a couple of days"


"As a full figured black woman 5"4 189 I was always on a diet and then losing and regaining. Started Belviq three months ago and lost 21 pounds. I get full fairly easily and this gives me the ability to say no to seconds that I never had before. Glad to be on this medicine and will change the way I live to be healthy."


"I started taking this medication due to an inability to go to sleep. For some reason it knocks me out no matter what doseage I take. 8mg is the same effect as 50mg. I sleep at least 8-9 hours straight and feel hungover the next day. It definitely makes me sleep but I have strange dreams and wake up feeling terrible the next day."


"Although this medicine is very expensive, I only need 400mg every couple of days.  I am able to purchase 3-5 800 mg pills per pharmacy visit. I only need to take it when in pain, and it works very quickly, so I'm not changing to another medicine.  Flexeril makes me dizzy, dry, and doesn't work as well.  Lyrica also makes me dizzy and nauseated.  So metaxalone is my blessing.  I'm very glad and surprised that I also don't have any side effects, as I am very sensitive to most medicines.  Good luck everyone with Metaxalone.  It works like a charm for me."


"My 9 year old son, who has autism,  was put on risperidone about a year and a half ago after being hospitalized for aggressive and self-harming behavior. It has been very effective with the violent behavior. He is still quite argumentative and has tantrums and meltdowns occasionally but it's much better. The main side effect was weight gain due to his increased appetite. He was always famished! He gained 8-10 pounds in 2 months which is alot for a 7 year old. The Vyvance that he takes for adhd is supposed to suppress his appetite but it wasn't enough to outweigh what the risperidone was doing. After a few months his dr put him on metformin. It did the trick. He lost his added weight. The Vyvance/metformin combo balanced out the risperidone."


"This medication was/is a life saver.  Took 2 weeks to adjust to it and about a month to feel its positive effects.  I would say it changed my life for the better BUT I now realize my weight gain over the 2.5 years is due to the medication so I will try to wean off.  I also slept beautifully on it, but too much."


"I am on my 2nd month with Contrave.  I have actually gained weight...  I walk for an hour almost every day & I try to eat healthier. I think I eat more & crave sweets even more.

I don't know what to do...  I am going to continue taking it hopefully it will turn around for me."


"I was reading the reviews for this medication 30 minutes after I have injested it. I can't deny, I was a little bit worried while reading the side effects, especially because I took it with only having eaten two cookies and a banana. Surprisingly, I had not a single side effect. I was not throwing up nor did I have diarrhea or upset stomach. I was actually hungry. I ate peacefully and happily ate Chinese food and cheesecake without a single issue. I will say I noticed an increase amount of discharge, not yellow like I was having before, but it was kinda white/clear thick. My guess is my vagina is cleansing itself and clearing out everything inside. I would highly recommend this, its quick, easy, and simple."


"This is a wonder drug!!

I Went to doctors and asked for champix, for my 15 a day habbit for 16 years !! By Day 7 I had completely given up. That was 8 months ago and I haven't touched a cigarette since!

I had bad dreams, the taste of the cigarette was just vile. I suffered awful acne (gone once tablets were finished) I sometimes felt a bit confused.

But none of the side effects should stop anyone trying this drug.

9 months ago I sat here and thought I am never going to give up smoking, it's a huge part of my life but I did it "


"Takes months to get used to.  Good side effects for me include improved sleep and increased exercise tolerance.  Bad (good?) side effect for me is delayed ejaculation."


"I started taking Effexor 3 weeks ago after finding no success with Wellbutrin or Zoloft. It causes some initial bad side effects (nausea, dizziness, tiredness) but I cant emphasize enough how wonderful I feel now! I thought I would never find a solution. Most effective medication I've encountered this far!"


"Don't let doctors give you ciprofloxacin or any fluoroquinolone antibiotics, while you are taking Humira."


"My 4 yo started taking focalin today..5mg.. she is higher than a kite.. she talks incessantly.. she is licking her chin.. she is having mouth ticks..she is sweating and scratching her face and arms..her heart is beating so fast and is crying too. She will NEVER take this med again.. ADHD is easier than this. It has been nearly 6 hrs and it is still going strong. I can't get anything done for fear of taking my eyes off her. I would give it a 0 but wasn't an option."


"I found that this pain releiver worked well without making me sick to my stomach like most of the other hydrocodone that contain tylenol."


"I have been on Qsymia for 6 months and have lost 51 lbs. I have diabetes and was taking insulin R & N 60 units each a day. I no longer take insulin, only pills. I have had no side effects. I see my doctor every 3 months. Qsymia has worked for me. My wife also takes Qsymia and has lost 50lbs and lowered her blood pressure to normal with no side effects."


"Taken for colonoscopy prep. Received the generic GaviLyte-G. I didn't use the lemon flavor packet.  Prepared the container the night before and left it in the fridge. At 4:00 PM started drinking 8 ounces every 10 minutes. I don't find the taste off-putting at all, it's like slightly fizzy, slightly salty water.

It started working after the 3rd dose (30 mins after starting).  By the 7th/8th dose I was on an every 10 minute schedule - when I left the bathroom it was time for the next dose. 17 doses later (4 liters div by 8 oz) I'm confident I'm quite cleaned out; clear going in, as clear as I can imagine might be possible coming out.  Lots of volume, but it works."


"I have exercise induced asthma.  And if I used Alvesco a couple hours before a workout I never had to use my rescue inhaler.  I have no unusual symptoms or side effects from Alvesco.  Only down fall is it isn't covered by my insurance.  Was able to swindle a 6 month supply of samples.  But can afford the  $300 a month price tag."


"I was on Yaz but the problem with it is that it causes breakthrough bleeding and has a higher rate of cysts.  Sprintec is very effective and regulates the period the best so far.  HOWEVER, my acne has worsened a lot.  If you don't have acne, I'd recommend it."


"I started using Lutera for birth control and to regulate my periods.  I thought that it was working fine for the first 6 months but I started to put all my health concerns together.  I already have a lot of health concerns and it seemed to lower my immune system so I got sick all the time.  I got colds, flu, bronchitis, and was always having migraines.  I stopped using it for a month and noticed I felt much better.  I started it up again and boom, within a week I felt bad again.  "


"I have COPD and this is the only thing that has helped me when I get a cough. I think its great!"


"I've been taking tramadol for 2 years. I like it so much better than narcotic pain relievers. I don't feel awful, eyes arent heavy and not sleeping around the clock. I don't have any side effects I don't get buzzed and my pain level is tolerable and I don't dread work because of pain. I do not have health insurance available to me at the present time and its not that expensive. I would recommend this before narcotics. I have tried otc medicines without any relief. Thank you tramadol."


"I read a lot of reviews saying how terrible the nexplanon was. I would advise you not to freak out about it until you try it. When I saw the reviews it hindered me from wanting to get it but when I talked to my friends that had it, they said they loved it. I am currently 19 years old and have had the implant in my arm for 4 months and I love it! I have had 2 periods since the insertion which I found not unusual after seeing the #1 side effect was menstrual irregularities. Also the actual insertion hurt like 6/10 for 2 seconds and it wasn't even the insertion that hurt, it was the numbing shot they gave that hurt. I could not feel the actual insertion. Over all it's been worth it, you don't know until you try, you can always have it taken out!"


"I started this birth control because my body had a negative reaction to the Depo Provera shot. I enjoy getting my period every three months, and it's always pretty light. The only bad side effect I have experienced is skin sensitivity. I more easily get acne and whenever I scratch myself the marks show. The most prominent example of skin sensitivity comes from my bra. It just hurts so bad at the end of the day that I have to take it off. Otherwise this has been a great birth control, considering this is fourth one I've tried."


"I was experiencing bad anxiety and was on cymbalta.  My Dr switched me to escitalopram and it did not help at all. I am still  on it and now on clonazapam. The clonaz helps my anxiety 100 percent but now my depression, especially the physical symptoms like over sleeping, not wanting to eat, diarrhea, full blown depression.  Cymbalta helped all of that so now I am seeing my Dr to go back on the Cymbalta, which really helps my depression and the physical pains of it, as well staying on clonazapam.  I feel like I'm in a black hole and can't get out. It's scary. I want to shake it and I just can't.  See my Dr this Tuesday thank goodness.  Hope to feel better soon."


"The Mirena is amazing! I got mine inserted during my 6 week check up after having my son! I've had it almost 3 years. I'm 23 years old with a super busy schedule, so I didn't want pills like I've had in the past, no time for them plus they made so sick. I wanted to try the Mirena to see if it was any different, and I'm so happy I did. It wasn't painful at all to insert. It was like getting a checkup. I started my period about 4 days after insertion and that lasted about a week and a half. After that I got my period every month but it was very light and lasted about 3 days. After about 6 months I got a period every 3 months. I was scared to get it reading all the bad reviews but I decided to do it anyway."


"I have arthritis and not much cartilage left in my knee.  I have had only one injection and have been in bed in so much pain that I'm crying for two days!"


"I was on Ovcon for at least 2 years. I just remember regular periods, no real weight gain, no change in sex drive. I stopped taking it for a year just because I didn't need to be on it. Then I needed birth control again and was put on Velivet(hated it), I'm currently on Apri which I hate. So I'm changing back to Ovcon this month."


"I've tried just about every birth control in the book. Depo was by far the worst with over 15lbs weight gain in a year, horrible acne and leg cramps. Loestrin24 wasn't far behind with chronic exhaustion, zero sex drive and depression. Ortho wasn't bad, but I did experience weight gain (about 5lbs in a year). Yaz is by far my favorite, and I can say that both before having my first child and after.

Yaz stabilized my pre-menstrual mood swings. I think it actually increased by sex drive post pregnancy. I've had no weight issues and no acne problems. I think all the commercials about Yaz's side effect are bogus - every birth control is going to show correlations with some disease or another. I'd recommend Yaz in a heartbeat."


"I didn't like the spotting and the depression I felt from it. Its only good if you want shorter periods sometimes and weight loss."


"I read a lot of reviews on this product that had me scared to try this pill. BUT one thing I noticed is that the majority of people who were on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo  or whatever other product that is the 'name brand' version on this had the most problems with it. Anyway, I am on my 3rd week. I have not experienced any side effects that I could notice, seriously not one. I still feel the same way I did before I got on it. I'm taking this pill to regulate my cycle because it's so irregular and also for acne, which was most likely cause by imbalanced hormones. I haven't broken out since I have been on this pill."


"I've been having bladder botox injections for 12 years at Hospital I have had urge double incontinence for about 15 years, caused by Multiple Sclerosis (primary progressive). I am nearly 70. I was tried on different treatments for about 3 years. Nothing worked. I had to wear thicker and thicker incontinence pads (very embarrassing)! Eventually, I was given Flexible Cystoscopy and Botox. Has to be done every 9 months, first it was with (20 injections), later increased to (30 inj's). It was worth every jab! Takes about 15 minutes under local. They always do FC and test your urine first. Discomfort during procedure and sore for a few days. No other side effects. Time to find a loo, and dry pants."


"Got paragard on April 19th, holy cow it was a painful insertion. I was tense which made it even worse. Relax and spread those legs is the best advice I can give. The insertion felt like a knife in my uterus, followed by a mega period cramp. The following days were full of cramps and bleeding. The 3rd day blood just came out like a stream. The cramps are bearable but I can't survive without pain relievers. Im just excited to adjust to the iud, gonna be a long wait. I know it's painful but better than the pill. The pill scared me because of chest pain and leg numbness."


"I've had botox injections 5 times and would definitely recommend it. They say it lasts for 6/8 months but mine have lasted the longest being 2 years. I'm very pleased with the outcome of it, it has made a massive improvement in my life."


"Its been 2 weeks only. I will give it the 2 months most give it for any positive impacts. Here's what I've noticed:
-muscular soreness at application site (shoulders/back are sore)
-increased nose hair
-annoyed off easily"


"I have Hereditary Depression, Bipolar Type 2, PTSD, High Anxiety, Insomnia, I also had some bad Paranoia issues at the time prescribed because of an insane stalker. I have taken over 50 medication combinations. This by far is the worst drug I have ever taken. I knick named it, "Effects Her!!!".
  The medication was hell on Earth for me. I had several bad side effects on this med. The worst being that when I fell asleep my brain created extremely realistic vivid dreams. Also, after sleeping for a few hours, it seemed like very high impact stressful weeks had just gone by in real time. So I had to try to decipher reality upon waking. Needless to say, I lost my job! My Anxiety and Paranoia were worse! Plus it is absolute Hell to come off of!!!"


"I absolutely HATED this medication.

 I have been struggling with panic attacks and major depression since I was younger. I was put on this medication for about a year and my panic attacks were not so often. The downsides of medication

Is that I felt little to no emotion, And had ZERO sex drive."


"I've been taking Ativan for a bit and I think it's a wonder medicine, the only thing is when you run out you are not in a good mood and feel really sick. But the most part use them as they tell you."


"I have been on Demulen for two years now and take it daily, without monthly breaks, for the management of severe endometriosis symptoms. I tried many different birth control pills before Demulen, but it has been the most effective in preventing the debilitating pain I suffer. If I am a few hours late with a pill, I will begin to experience some cramping, but I am fine so long as I take it properly. I have experienced no major side effects; no weight gain, no increased sensitivity to the sun, nothing. I would recommend it for the management of endometriosis."


"Decided to take Dulcolax Pink, as it said it was gentle on sensitive stomachs (which I definitely have). I took 2, and then did the worst thing I could possibly do.... went online and read reviews. Needless to say I was completely freaked out by what I read and I prepared myself for an awful night. I have to say now, it was really not that bad. Exactly 6 hours after taking it, I had some cramping, very mild nausea, and diarrhea (but what do you really expect from a laxative?). I drank about 1.5 liters of water while taking this, so maybe that was part of it not being so bad. It's been about 16 hours now since I've taken it and I've eaten and feel completely normal. I don't like to rely on laxatives, but would take this one again if need be!"


"I had the implant inserted 5 weeks after giving birth. I have not had a period since my postpartum bleeding. It has been about 4 months and it has worked great. I am currently thinking about having it removed due to wanting to try for another baby. Still not decided for sure yet. Insertion did not hurt at all. Best birth control I've tried so far."


"I started with microgestin seven months ago to help with periods. They were heavy and incredibly uncomfortable and the microgestin just wasn't working for me, and I'd been on it for six months. Then I switched to amethia and things were weird for a little due to the hormonal changes, but after a month, everything leveled out. I haven't gained any weight, my skin is still relatively clear. The only thing I've noticed is that my breasts are very itchy. I then noticed that I was having frequent allergic reactions to *something*, so my doctor reccomended I stop taking this for two weeks. Turns out I was just allergic to my body wash, but the breast itching went away, but has since started up again. I've been back on amethia for two weeks now"


"I started Contrave on 5-6 and first week in a half no side effects other then dry mouth, little bit of dizziness, my Dr recommended when you start out to take at night not in the morning, I think this really helped.. now I am taking 1 in the morning and 1 at night and have been for few days, do experience a lot of dizziness and weird feelings, but overall DO NOT THINK ABOUT EATING at all, which is great for me.. This used to be all  I thought about, so I can deal with the side effects. I am down 15 lbs in less then a month with little exercise, but about to do more.. I have about 55 lbs more to go, and really feel I will get there with Contrave.."


"I was on the pill for about 5 years when I got tired of taking them daily. They worked perfectly fine, though - so I decided to explore my other options. I have been on Nexplanon for about 4 months now. I've only bled once since insertion, and it was very predictable as my breasts became very tender for 2 weeks prior. The flow itself was light, and I didn't experience cramps, nausea, nor migraines. My skin didn't react well at first, but now it's back to normal. The most negative thing about the implant is that my mood has been down during this entire time. I don't get excited for anything - whether it be outings, sex, etc. - and I'm very irritable."


"I'm 37 yrs old I have been dealing with severe depression all my life. I have tried every antidepressant medicine under the sun, some were mildly effective but the side effects were worse than the depression. I went to a new doctor and he asked if I have ever tried Xanax. I said no I thought that was used for anxiety. He prescribed me 1.5 mg a day I started noticing a difference the first day. This stuff is amazing been on it for 2 months finally some relief. Its unfortunate its abused so much and so hard to get a doctor to prescribe it. I haven't had any side effects, I have such a positive outlook on everything now. It has completely changed my life for the better. All the symptoms that come along with depression I had are gone."


"Have controlled my flare ups with Crohn's, however have experienced more migraines."


"Was prescribed for fainting/low b.p. I started taking this and it made me have involuntary facial expressions and I started fainting repeatedly. Allergic reaction so I had to stop using it immediately."


"Started taking this med for bipolar disorder and it's been working for 6 months it helps me rest at night. I have tried many other medicines but inconjunction with Wellbutrin antidepressant it seems to be great. I hope I never have another episode again and this will continue to work for me."


"I was diagnosed with Depression when I was 14 years old. Now that I'm 22 I decided to take control. I was basically a guinea pig by trying all sorts of different medicines to help me feel better. I was just recently diagnosed with anxiety and also PTSD. I started to talk to my doctor after my episode and she put me on Fetzima. At first when I started it it made me sick and nauseous and I was constantly so tired. She helped level the medicine out and put me on Wellbutrin to help keep me less tired. With these medicines,I have been on them for 2 months and I can honestly say I feel normal again. I still have negative thoughts but they only last a few seconds. I love Fetzima. It has seriously changed my life for the better."


"Effexor XR 300 mg has really worked well for me.  Although, I am gaining weight.  I previously lost 50 lbs and now it is coming back on.  My doctor thinks it has something to do with all my medicines that I am on for depression, PTSD, anxiety disorder, just to name a few.  I am hesitant of trying a different medicine, but I can't keep on gaining the weight.  It is too hard on my back."


"I took Wellbutrin several years ago and after about two-three weeks one day I noticed it had been 6 hours since I had even thought of a smoke. I get down to about 2 cigs a day (usually one in the am and one after dinner) so I thought well 1or two a day isn't going to hurt me but it doesn't work that way you gradually go back to the old habits. My advise is that moment when you get to the point, put them down right then. Don't be fooled it will come back if you don't stop then. So, I went back to my 2 pack a day habit and my Mother recently died from lung cancer (also a smoker).  I have gotten back on the wellbutrin as of yesterday and hope it works as well for me this time."


"I had hundreds of warts all over me. I was advised to use this cream despite the fact that its use on a large scale hadn't been tested. I'll admit that it took lots of packets to complete the whole treatment, but in four months, every single wart was completely gone. There wasn't a single spot left. This cream worked where every other treatment, including surgery, did not."


"I've been on 100 mg of Zoloft for 13 years now--though not a perfect fix, it's helpful, and I'm very thankful for this drug.

Anxiety runs in my family but was never discussed.  I'm 47 now, looking back I realize that wisps of it ran all through my childhood and youth- I "self-medicated" with alcohol and smoking.  It peaked when I was pregnant and 9/11 went down--midwife urged me to try meds, but I was very stubborn.  I wanted to do it "on my own." After months of struggle and desperation, I finally gave in. It helped. I could parent and function again.  A couple times since, I've tried  to wean myself off  but never successfully--always needed it.   Now I'm at mostly at peace with needing zoloft--wish I didn't, but I do, and it helps."


"this drug gives a huge boost of mental energy and confidence and is very effective for social anxiety. The downside is that is reduces your appetite and libido, and it makes you feel jittery at its peak. Insomnia is a problem when just beginning but you get used to it after a few days."


"I was prescribed 100mgx3 Gabapentin increased to 300mg x3, worked a little on sweating but after a few months I noticed I had gained weight.  Soon it was spiraling out of control and before I knew it, I had gained almost 20 lbs!
 Discontinued use, (I had no withdrawal). Went back to my normal size in a few weeks and tried to take the Gabapentin again. Seemed okay at first, then the weight came back again. I am also on Amitriptyline, which I saw some one mention earlier. Also had dizziness and difficulty urinating. Nothing is worth the weight gain."


"I started taking this a few weeks ago, I don't take it everyday because when I do I have watery diarrhea but I'd rather get a good cleaning out every couple days than to be bloated and cramping constantly. I have only tried one dose so maybe with a smaller dose I can control the frequency and consistency. I have been dealing with severe IBS constipation for over 10 years and I have finally found something that actually makes me go without all the cramping and bloating like all the other treatments I have tried! I'll take a little bit of diarrhea just to not be constipated, it's a small price to feel better."


"This is AMAZING. 100% worth it! I didn't think this would work for me, I thought my hyperhidrosis would be too severe but it's not! I had no burning or itching either and it worked after the next night! I HIGHLY recommend this. Truly life changing."


"Not effective for me, I took the 200mg once a day for 2 weeks. Did not have any reactions good or bad. Just no effect at all."


"The condom broke. We ran out and got Plan B One Step less than 2 hours later. After I took it I had some cramping, headache, dizziness and the urge to urinate more than normal. I must say, this pill is a lifesaver! I did not experience spotting like some people mentioned, but I did get my period one week later. It was actually right on schedule, no delay at all. I'm thankful that us women we have this option out there. I'm so glad I took it right away like it recommends. It works!"


"Zoloft has been a life saver! I have been on this medicine for about 7 years now. Two kids (3 and 6 months) later I still have to use this medicine, and it works miracles. My husband deployed to Afghanistan and I do not think I could of made it through that time while taking care of our kids without this medicine. The only side effects I had were loss of appetite, tired, and mild headaches but that only lasts about a week. If your just starting this medicine hold on I promise this will help you feel like you again!"


"Started this drug 6 weeks ago. Developed headache within days & a productive cough. 3 days ago, developed vomiting and severe headache, worse headache I have ever had in all 59 years of my life. Debilitating. Excruciating pain. Went to ER during episode. Nobody knew what to do. They told me my Dr's didn't call them back! I don't believe that. After giving me Ativan & morphine with zofran chaser.  CT of head normal & blood work normal, the sent me.home. I can't get up without it coming back.  Idk the med which was working, now I want the massive HA, migraine really, to go away!! I won't ever take thus drug again! Worse feeling next to MRSA in my bloodsrream, while on Remicade therapy back in 2008!!!"


"I have a Neuro shunt and was put on Keppra before the shunt operation (hydrocephalus). I have noticed the regular Keppra works just as well as the more expensive Keppra XR."


"IT WORKS LADIES!!! Soooo I just started dating this Guy finally after talking for 6 months.. Had sex on my ovulation day. Took pill roughly 40 afterwards. Then had sex the following week and he came inside me so panicking again took the pill 23 hours later. First time didn't feel any side effects but tiredness. The second time my boobs were tender, my back aches, I cramped really bad, and had headaches. Lol it's funny that as soon as I was about to take a pregnancy test, I went to the bathroom and saw RED! I took it still but it was negative obviously. Period was two days early but I'm just glad it came on today!"


"I have been taking the pill for about three month it's been a huge difference. I felt a few symptoms but nothing to severe but I like to say thanks."


"The first day I took an 18mg pill. I was tired during the day, so I stopped. My doctor suggested I try again, this time taking 5mg before bed. After a few days of feeling tired all day, I realized something was very wrong. I also read that there is a possible interaction with Wellbutrin XL, which I am also taking. I stopped the Strattera and am back to "normal" again."


"I am on day 5 of Movantix. NO help with BM at all! Light headed is the only side effect. I feel this med is working against me causing even more constipation. Even much less gas passing! I take Norco daily for pain for 4 yrs now, and the constipation/impactedness is worsening! Been to hospital twice recently for relief. Stomach bloating is worse too on this med. I'm calling it quits as today's dose gave me bad headaches with the dizziness. No relief or success with the Movantix. I actually feel worse! Insur did not cover either. I will keep looking for methods of relief. MiraLAX works on and off. I have found a daily probiotic helps but not continously however I couldn't imagine not having it...best of luck to all"


"I have had trouble staying asleep for several years and have often had trouble being drowsy at work or while driving. I didn't expect much from Belsomra after reading about it, but the 20 mg tablets worked like a miracle. It seems that Belsomra doesn't so much put me to sleep as lets me sleep. I was usually able get back to sleep without any trouble when awakened in the middle of the night, but could function if I had to. I do feel a little "zoned" at night, but nothing like the effects of other drugs. I have no "hangover" the next day, and I feel more alert and energetic than I have for a long time.

Given other people's reviews, perhaps this drug is not for everyone, but for me it works very well and may be worth giving a it try."


"Well, it's been about 8 months now since being prescribed 10 mg Nortriptyline HCL.
I take it once a day before bed.
I also take Dicetel 50 mg up to 3 X a day although most days I don't even feel the need to take it.
It does help though when I take it. Before meals.
I've had IBS for close to 20 years. I was ALWAYS afraid to go out to eat. I'd always make reasons to get out of going out with friends.
It literally ran my life
I've felt better since the start and wish I've been given this years ago.
This has 98% worked for me & I would suggest it to anyone to try it!

Good luck"


" My doc thought I would be fine with this with no kids, also selling the idea of almost no period. Insertion wasn't too bad, Xanax and 1000mg of ibuprofen, made it a piece of cake. Barely spotted for 5 days and thought it was amazing.
I heavily bled for 63 days straight after those blissful five days. I had debilitating cramps, taking at least 2000mg of ibuprofen a day half the time. Day and night sweats, stress and anxiety out of nowhere, sleepless nights. Since then, I get my period for 9 days, AFTER about 4 days of spotting. Then 2 weeks it starts all over again. I bleed after sex. Turns out it made my body go through pre menopause... At 28 yrs old. Making an appt tomorrow to remove!"


"Tried 10mg of Belsomra last night for the first time and had an awful experience.    This drug causes very concerning effects.    I am a 55 year old engineer and have struggled with insomnia for 6 months.    I had been taking Ambien  which I have become dependent on and want to get off so I tried Belsomra.    I do not take any other drugs at all..    About 3 hours after taking the Belsomra I finally fell asleep and had a very strange dream which I awoke from and experienced sleep paralysis.    It lasted 20 seconds or so and was terrifying.    I then fell asleep again,  did not dream and awoke 15 minutes later with the same paralysis experience.  I could not move my body but was I was awake.  I will never take this drug again."


"I am 56 years old had no energy, gained a lot of weight, woke up sweating at night. Felt terrible. It took me 5 doctors but the last one said it was obviously estrogen deficiency. I have been taking the Mylan 0.05 mg transdermal patch and I feel reborn. I have energy. I'm not hot. I feel great. Only problem is the patches don't stay on. It may force me to change brands or something. They did stay on the first month when the temperatures were cooler but now that it is warmer and I am sweating they are falling off. Plus I exercise a lot which I am sure is contributing to this."


"I had underlying anxiety - constantly wanting to hide in bed - random crying - high intensity job - mind wouldn't shut off. Told doctor - she said this had helped many clients - by my 2nd day on 1/4 of the largest pill size -  I felt at ease and pretty carefree. My life is 75% easier to take and I'm able to get through life with a smile. Very happy. "


"Hey guys! I wonder if the release dates of Zubsolv and Suboxone were reversed and Zubsolv came out 1st would all these stories be the same.I had been on pain pills since 2009, with severe neck and back pain from a oil tanker accident. Oct 2016 after all the pain clinics started closing and I got fed up with withdrawals. I started buying subutex, they weren't the greatest but I wasn't sick. Then I found another friend to buy strips from. I was talking 2-3 a day. In Feb 2017 I found a clinic and my insurance only covers Zubsolv. I felt 4 sure they wouldn't work. 1st couple months I kept using, Dr told me give 1 month clean and see. Well it's been 4, I feel great!! I'm on 8.6am and 5.7pm! Can hold my wifes script for oxy 15mg and NOT TOUCH THEM!"


"I am 28 and have struggled with acne for 13 years. I had tried everything (benzoyl peroxide products flared my acne). I recently became a dermatology nurse, where I was fortunate enough to sample Aczone. I am so happy I did. My skin feels smoother and I haven't had any significant pimples since I started using the gel. I only apply it 3- 4 times a week. It even keeps away menstrual breakouts. I love this product!"


"I like taking it and have no side effects/  .Can take with or without food, which is great for me since I don't like pills!"


"This medication made me very anxious and caused panic attacks."


"I have had anxiety for over 40 years and I never thought I would feel like this. Paxil has help me a lot and I wish I had taken if earlier. It help me with my anxiety being about 80% less. I'm not as compulsive now. I lost 20 pds because I was not as anxious and eating all the time."


"I have been taking this medicine for one n half months. I have seen a lot of side effects as others do like short temper, extremely dry lips chest pain, joint pain n irregular sleep, apart from that it does work on acne. When I started taking this drug my skin was bumped with pimples n blackheads all over my face. Till now most of them are gone but they left deep scars n redness on my cheeks ."


"Just started this. It sure does knock the itch out BUT. Whew. I took it at 11 AM and crashed at 2PM.

I'm sure, like most things, after a week or so the drowsy thing goes away. Gravol(Dimenhydrinate) used to do the same thing to me. Now it has zero drowsy effect on me. It's great for the guts but not near as good as Hydroxyzine for itching. "


"I had tried everything for irritable bowel syndrome -- cholonic treatments; stool softeners; magnesium; stimulant laxatives.  The list is endless, but until I went on Amitiza, nothing worked well.  I take the larger dosage at bedtime -- very mild nausea occasionally, but at least one bowel movement daily.  This medication has literally been a life-saver."


"I honestly can't remember how long I've been on Xenical , about close to two months I'm guessing. I've had the oily poo but it does depend on what I eat. I haven't been exercising but I know I've lost some weight. I'm just too scared to check how much. From tomorrow I'm going to make sure that I'm walking more and exercising as well."


"Used in combination with other diabetes meds, this works great! I can eat a full carb dinner and wake up with fastings in normal range (110)."


"I'm so happy Plan B helped me! I took a pill after 30 hours unprotected sex and I had my period in a week."


"Mirena insertion was extremely painfully, but after having it in for almost 2 years, I had it removed due to the hormones causing extreme migraines. Since I had it removed, I have lost 10 pound (which during the time of insertion I gained 50lbs) and my acne has cleared up. "


"Kept my schizophrenia in check but way too sedating. Gained 20 pounds in 6 months, hard to wake up in morning, going to try something else."


"I ended up getting a big bursitis on my elbow, arthritis, muscle weakness and skeletal pain throughout my body, real bad sweats and no sex drive while taking citalopram.

Musculoskeletal system side effects including arthralgia (2%) and myalgia (2%) have been reported. Arthritis, muscle weakness, and skeletal pain have been reported infrequently. Bursitis and osteoporosis have rarely been reported. Rhabdomyolysis has been reported to be temporally associated with citalopram treatment."


"For years I suffered from anxiety attacks, depression and severe insomnia. I was prescribed many different drugs in the past but nothing helped me sleep. I was started on 30mgs at bedtime. It helped me sleep a bit better but still not all night. After 1 month of taking 30mg of Remeron my doctor decreased dosage to 15mgs. Amazing. A full nights sleep. Waking near sunrise! What a gift! The increased appetite was much worse on 30mgs. Since the dosage is now 15mgs the increased appetite is not nearly as bad. My anxiety attacks are few and far between and I don't feel groggy when I wake now. In the beginning I did. I have been on the medicines for about 4 months and am very happy with it. Just wish a doctor had prescribed it to me a long time ago. Best of luck!"


"At first, this medication seemed great.  After a month or so I started breaking out more than ever.  I went back to using Metrocream and haven't had a serious breakout in years."


"I'm a 37 year old female recently diagnosis with low risk HPV or genital warts. After much crying about this diagnosis my doctor decided Aldara would be best so I could see the warts start to disappear. I chose Mon, Wed and Friday to be my treatment days. It's been one week and I can no longer see or feel any warts and I am both amazed and relieved!  I will continue to use this product for additional week just to make sure everything has cleared.  Thank you Aldara! I read some horror stories concerning the side effects and I'm guessing I'm one of the lucky one cause I never had any real severe side effects. I did have slight irritation, redness of skin, and very mild itching. Aldara worked for me!!!"


"I suffer from social anxiety, separation anxiety. My doctor recommended zoloft. I was on a regular dose not sure now much that was. After taking it I felt terrible I had a horrible pain in my chest and I couldn't breath. The pain in my chest went all the way up my throat. I went back to my doctor and she suggested a lower dose. Once again I took the pill and the pain was still terrible. I personally had a terrible experience with zoloft."


"I'm a diabetic with neuropathy, my endocrinologist put me on methadone to combat the extremely severe burning sensation associated with neuropathy about 5 years ago, and... HOLY TOLEDO! Methadone won the war! That med is so effective I often forget I have diabetes. I take four, 10mg tabs daily, and it has nearly ended the painful part of diabetes."


"I would be about half awake and find myself struggling to find my way through the house.  I experienced a full fledged panic attack for 4 or 5 nights after waking during the night."


"I recieved my Skyla a month ago. I am 27 years old, single, and do not want children. My doctor was enthusiastic about my decision, she answered all my questions and reassured me it was safe and effective. My experience wasn't awful, but it also wasn't fun. She had a hard time opening my cervix (I am petite at 4'11" 120 lbs), so the process took a bit longer. The moment it opened, I yelped and felt the worst cramp of my life. She counted down from 10 and she was done. I was lightheaded and shaky after insertion. The rest of the day my cramping peaked at a 6 on the pain scale and subsided each day after. No spotting, period was on time with minimal cramping. So far no hormonal side effects or pain. I'm VERY happy with my Skyla!"


"Lost 21 pounds in 3 weeks; had no appetite most of the day. ate a regular meal at dinnertime"


"I agree this product will make you drop the pounds. I took it a few years ago to lose weight after having a baby. In 6 weeks I lost 17 lbs. I have gained that wieght back plus more. I've decided to try it again. I have so much energy I can't sit still. The down side is I can't concentrate. I'm very moody. I can't fall asleep for at least an hour after going to bed. Sometimes I can feel my heart beating to fast. If I don't start showing serious weight loss I may stop taking it because of all the side effects."


"This works great. I take it for back spasm but also for cluster headaches. I had a stroke several years ago at age 28 years, so I am limited in what medicines I can take due to my medical history. My doctor has me take more than I need for back spasm/pain. I was warned it would make me sleepy and usually does, but in that time my headache/pain goes away almost completely. It is wonderful, especially since it is not a controlled substance. I'd rather take this for both conditions than the 100mg Demerol every 4 hours I was on for several years. Not only don't I miss the injections, but since it does not have the side effects and addiction I can do more since I can think more clearly and function more."


"The best medicine"


"I have had numerous teeth pulled recently, getting ready for dentures and first I was prescribed Demerol which made me feel ill and personally I still felt pain. Then it was Percocet which worked great for pain but made me itch. Finally Vicodin 5 mg which I had to take 1 and a half to knock out all the pain. My dentist tried Vicoprophen 7.5 which worked absolutely perfectly but was a bit expensive compared to regular Vicodin. Well he prescribed Vicodin 7.5/500 and 1 tablet works wonders. I was told that I could take 2 at a time if needed but so far 1 seems to work for about 5 hours. I was told that I could build up a quick tolerance to the drug so I take 800 mg ibuprofen unless I really need the Vicodin."


"Several years ago I was prescribed Abilify as an add on to my Paxil 50 mg. Which I've been taking for 24 yrs for Major Depression. It was amazing. I was so happy. I became interested again in things that I used to enjoy. Unfortunately my only bad side effect was that it made me cry for absolutely no reason. I could be talking to someone about anything at all, and the tears would start. I had to stop taking it because nobody wanted to be around me anymore. My doctor has never heard of this happening with Abilify. Lucky me."


"I began taking buspar about six weeks ago. I am not a fan of benzos because they are addictive, I prefer to function with a clear head rather than popping a pill that sedates me so badly that maybe I'm not feeling my anxiety, but I'm also not living my life or doing much else either. Buspar has changed my life, I had completely forgotten what it was like to have a quiet mind until now. My obsessive thoughts subsided, I can leave my house without fear, I can speak to my friends and to strangers without profusely sweating and trembling, and I can drive again now that I'm not so easily stimulated. It takes a few weeks to feel the full effect, so hang in there if you just began."


"This drug was a miracle for me! I was very skeptical on taking these because of the horrible reviews that are out there. I went to my doctor and he prescribed me Azithromycin. It did nothing for me. My ear got really inflammed and I was half deaf in my ear. Fluid was blocked up. I went back to the doctor 2 days later (Wednesday) and he prescribed me steroids, to get rid of the inflammation, and he gave me Avelox. He told me to start Avelox Saturday, if needed. Saturday came and I seemed to be better. I didn't take it. Sunday came and the ear pain came back. I took Avelox and my ear infection feels like it's 80% healed! It's been about 29 hours since I took the first pill and my ear feels amazing! NO side effects!"


"I've only been taking aviane for 2 and a half weeks, but so far the only side effect I have had was the first 3 days or so, I had mild to severe headaches the next morning, I take my pills at night. Haven't had an headaches since then, i have noticed an increase in my sex drive, which isn't a bad thing"


"Good - in combination with gabapentin and hydrocodone for neuropathic pain."


"I'm 48 and have the capacity of an 81 year old woman due to years of smoking.  I have smoked very few cigarettes since last week when I found out how bad my lungs are and thanks to hardly smoking and the Spiriva I am doing MUCH better!  Only side effect is a REALLY itchy nose/dry sinuses/stuffy (really stuffy) nose...but it's much better to be able to take a deep breath and function again!  Side effects are nothing compared to gasping for air! Love Spiriva!"


"Currently on Crestor 20mg but I cut it in half and only take maybe twice/week and experiencing mild joint aches, upset stomach in the AM hours after taking before bedtime the night before. I also tend to forget minor things such as keys in the truck, lunch in the fridge for work but not to often. I am 44 years old and have been on med for about 3 years now. I believe I will ask doctor to prescribe a milder med if possible on my next appointment."


"After 3 weeks of pain from a kidney stone the  doctor prescribed flomax. Took one tablet and passed it in an hour. Could not believe it. Brilliant stuff."


"My 1st 12mg injection cramped me severly with sweting & nausa.got to go about 20mins later had been 4 days. Have been on pain meds for 21yrs and finally found this medicine. Getting ready for 2nd injection hope the cramping aint as bad as the first time."


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


"I read all of these nightmare reviews and had myself worked into a frenzy by the time I went in for my appointment. Y'all...it is NOT a big deal. I was in and out of the office in less than 10 minutes. There was one slight pinch. My doctor asked me to cough; I was so surprised and distracted by the request that by the time I realized I was in pain, it was over. My cramps afterward were very mild and bleeding has been extremely minimal. I'm very happy and wish I had done this 5 years ago. Certainly would have saved me from a lot of missed pill drama and having to Plan B it."


"WOW, after years of having wet shirts, I was dry the day after I used it. It has changed my life."


"At first amitriptyline helped me sleep and for the first two nights I slept thoroughly. Now I'm having the opposite effect and it gives me insomnia as most SSRI's do. Now if I take even 10 mg it is almost impossible to sleep that night and difficult to sleep for the next 3 days. It's been 3 or 4 days since I've taken it and I still feel like it's interfering with my sleep. If you're sensitive to SSRI's do not take this for insomnia."


"Tried lots of different pills after the one I was on was discontinued and nothing worked for me so I stopped trying for about 3 years. When my doctor suggested the pill for acne I said sure why not. This pill is one of the few I don't have spotting or crazy 3 week periods with. The only downside is that I find my cramps are 10x worse, and I have gained some weight, I've especially seen that my breasts have grown. My acne has been a lot better and my periods are more normal although they do last a bit longer, my mood has also been consistent. Overall, I have had a good experience and happy to have normal, predictable periods."


"Have slow pulse plus atrial fibrillation-since newly diagnosed 2010 have been happy with results.Pulse beating much stronger and regular beat more frequently.  My husband takes for high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation and a much higher dose than I take.  He has been on it for a long time with excellent results.  Beta Blockers and other blood pressure pills did not seem to work for him.  All our bodies are different and respond to medication differently, but we are both satisfied."


"This is my 3rd day on contrave and the side effects are what are worrying me. Severe nausea comes and goes throughout the day. Sometimes it gets so bad I can't even get up and move around. I have also had sporadic hot flashes and excessive sweating. The worst side effect I saw it was on the first and second day hello when I would have terrible drowsiness to the point where I had to hold my eyelids open just stay alert and aware of my surroundings. I'm not going to stop taking the medication but I'm worried because my doctor prescribed for me to increase a pill each week until I am on 4 pills a day. I'm a female, 25 years old, 5'3 & weigh 253lbs. Is this too intense of an increase? Suggestions are appreciated."


"I was severely anemic, with muscle cramping throughout my body. Restless legs at night and tingling in my fingers. I had chest pain, and my memory and focus were off.  All of my symptoms completely disappeared and I could sleep through the night for the first time in years.  I regained my energy and felt alive again. I had no side effects at all.  Saw immediate results.  I took one pill twice a day, with orange juice."

"I had my first Implanon inserted March 2007.  As a professional ballroom dancer my doctor and I agreed that it would be the best form of contraception with the added benefit that my cycle could be eliminated. I had my second implant inserted last week. As I have not read any reviews on the removal or reinsertion, I thought I would share mine.  The removal process took a bit longer, the doctor made a small lengthwise incision, then she attempted to pull the plastic rod out...however, during the course of the 3 years, tissue had grown around the implant making it a little difficult to pull out. This tugging was painful; however, not unbearable.  She then inserted the replacement implant quicker than I could notice. Good to go for 3 years."


"The first three weeks on cryselle were pretty awful. I had headaches and stomach pain constantly. But after the first three weeks, all of that ended & now I take it without any issues. As long as you get through those three weeks & stick it out it's awesome! I've lost weight, my periods are light and short & my acne is gone. Definitely recommend this! Just push through those first three weeks!"


"Just took my fourth dose of Dupixent. Haven't seen much improvement at all and am very disappointed."


"About 6 months in I began getting a little moody, but didn't think much of it. My periods have begun to get really heavy and I never know when they are going to stop or start. Sometimes it will last 4 or 5 days and sometimes I'll have my period for a month straight. My mood swings are absolutely terrible lately and I've  had some depression (I'm generally a very happy person). I have headaches regularly and have pregnancy symptoms all the time, such as sore breasts, spotting, bloating, and nausea. My boyfriend and I have barely been able to have sex because of the almost constant period, so no wonder you don't get pregnant! And my sex drive is much lower after getting it inserted."


"My Doctor prescribed me this medication and on the first night I took it I had bad nausea. I told my doctor about it and decided to give it another chance a few days later. The second time it caused nausea, heartburn and left an acid feel in my mouth so I don't know if it works for other people but the side effects weren't worth it. "


"I have been taking Orlistat on prescription for about 5 months now adding total I have lost 3 stone I have cut out full fat milk and still have the odd chocolate bar and takeaway. It is brilliant. Now and again u can feel a bit bloated then once you have been to the toilet u feel a whole lot lighter absolutely brilliant drug."


"My son was diagnosed with Autism, however he has symptoms of ADHD but is not. The ADHD meds. just made things worse for him so the Dr. gave me Strattera to try 10mg and it helped, I kept wondering why he could take this but not other ADHD meds. his pediatrician told me it is an antidepressant that was discovered to have a calming effect, and if it makes him tired take it at bedtime. It is very expensive but helps we have not been able to increase the dose, but kids on the spectrum are difficult to medicate."


"I know one week of treatment is not a fair chance to give a medication to judge its effectiveness, I'm only reviewing the side effects. I was on the 50mg dose and the first 2-3 days were fine; no side effects noticed. However, my appetite significantly decreased to the point where I had to force myself to eat or I would go an entire day without eating. And I couldn't eat much when I did eat. I had cloudy urine and didn't have a strong flow; which made me think I had a UTI without the burning. Lower abdominal pain, some diarrhea. Lethargic all the time, no motivation to do anything. Not depressed, just didn't wanna get out of bed. Felt sleepy but couldn't sleep even with sleep mess. When I did sleep, it was very broken."


"I loved it !!"


"I have been on Campral for about 3 1/2 months.  I went to detox and was prescribed it there.  I have nothing but good things to say about it.  I have zero side effects and I have not touched alcohol since I went to detox.  I have zero craving and I have my life back. I was so sick when I finally got help, that feeling good again makes me smile every single day. I have now cut down my dosage to only 2 times a day and I am still free of any craving. Like others have said, I don't know what it does, but instead of struggling every day not to drink, I have zero cravings to ever drink again!"


"Normally I would never write a review on a drug, but I've had such a positive experience with sertraline that I really want to help others with my experience. I've always suffered with severe anxiety & low mood, particularly in winter. I had a rough time with my PhD not going to plan several months ago & started to feel worse and worse, feeling anxious and panicky all the time. After cbt failed to work, I finally agreed to try sertraline. I was terrified of taking drugs, terrified of side effects and feeling worse. Started on 50mg, had a little nausea and anxiety but not too bad. After 3 weeks my doctor upped me to 100mg. 3 months later & my anxiety has almost entirely gone & my mood is always good! I'm so happy I gave this drug a chance!"


"Worked quickly and effectively for my sciatica."


"Great eye drop. The irritating itches and redness in my eye went away in a few minutes every time when I used it. I have been using this eye drop for >2 years now!"


"I am 47 years old I have been taking cialis 20 mg for last 4 years and it was given me rock rock hard erection 95% of the time after Cialis my life very Colorful and very enjoyable I m very confidant in front of my girlfriend 25"


"Treating for high (and increasing) IR. Two weeks of .75 and just did first 1.5 today.

Biggest thing I noticed is...it takes a really long time for me to be hungry again after a meal. Reading the effects, it makes sense. One of the effects of the medicine is to slow down stomach clearing. So, I ate a reasonable dinner on Monday night...Yogurt Tuesday that I could barely finish. Yogurt Wednesday. Thursday night, another reasonable dinner. Friday and Saturday yogurt, Sunday soup and salad...and very seldom do I get hungry. Down 5 lbs in 2 weeks (from 182 to 177). No nausea, but I did have a few bouts where I felt a little cramping. No bad stools (actually, with so little eating, very few stools at all). Won't retest for IR until September."


"I LOVED smoking and tried several times to go cold turkey and failed miserably. And I tried Chantix twice before it actually worked. The first two times I was given just the starter packet because I was having surgery and I smoked right through those. The third time I was given the full regiment and by the beginning of the third packet I no longer had a craving to smoke. And get this my friends my pardner is a heavy smoker and still I don't feel the cravings. Of course we never have smoked in the house which is a blessing ( I don't have smokey walls and windows to clean). And I was a two to three pack a day smoker. It's been a year and I can honestly say I'm a non-smoker. Thank you Chantix!"


"I was put on klonopin at age 17. I took it as prescribed for 20 years, going from 0. 5mgs to 3-4mgs a day. While it worked great for anxiety and insomnia, I wish I had never taken this medication. Last year I was detoxed off of it. When I tapered off I didn't sleep at all for 11 days. After that I had extreme anxiety and agitation. I couldn't sit still for months, I had to take a non addictive medication to be able to sleep at all. I was unable to eat well for months.
Doctors don't think to tell you that this medication makes you physically dependant. You cannot stop abruptly or you risk seizures. It is made for short term use, about 2 weeks. I wish I had never taken this medication. I will never take another benzodiazapine again."


"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO NOT USE THIS. It shouldn't even be on the shelves unless you enjoy the feeling of sulfuric acid burning the inside of your vagina. Luckily I read the reviews and took it out before it got doctors office worthy bad like some other people."


"I started 10 weeks ago and saw an immediate drop in my home testing glucose levels, from double figure mmol readings to 4/7mmol after fasting.  I had no side effects at all for the first four weeks but subsequently suffered terrible nausea, overnight hypos, skin rash and the most revolting sulphur/egg-smelling burps (cured immediately by Alka Seltzer if anyone else has the same problem!)  I've noticed no reduction in appetite (except when nausea has prevented me from eating at all) but had already reduced my intake to 1200 calories a day in an effort to lose weight. If anything, Bydureon is hindering my weight loss. I often see no loss after a week of eating like Snow White, which is disappointing. Overall delighted though."


"I got liletta in August, so it’s been about three months. The insertion was terrible, I nearly passed out and had to lay and regain my strength for about fifteen minutes afterwards. And the cramps after inserting and for the next couple of days were excruciating. After 2 days my cramps did stop and I felt okay. My periods have been spotty and irregular and last about 10 days, but this month I haven’t had one at all so far so I’m hoping they stop all together. Only symptom I have from it now is pretty painful cramps but it’s nothing a painkiller can’t relieve."


"I only had the iud put in yesterday so my review is only regarding insertion because I seem to have had a very different experience than other women here. I may have a low pain threshold but my word it was absolutely horrendous. I was given heavy ibuprofen about 10 mins before and was in a jolly mood, excited to finally get this and dump the pill, but found the entire process painful. My doctor was incredible and so were the nurses but I reacted like a mad woman, screaming and crying like I never have before really. When I apologized to the dr for my actions she said I wasn't even on the list of the 'screamers' she had seen that day. So just a warning- this is NOT a 'bearable' experience for everyone. Still glad I did it."


"Hello all! I started zoloft 4 years ago (at age 22) for GAD/panic. The first 3/5 weeks I wanted to die from the side effects- extreme nausea, lack of appitite (lost 15 lbs on my 125lb frame) cold sweats, anxiety increase,  insomnia,  and feeling overall HOPELESS! I started on 50 mg and increased to a therapeutic level of 100mg. Over the last 4 years I have been on top of the world traveling, camping, building a home and have slowly decreased my zoloft to 12.5mg a day for the past year. 3 weeks ago I got lazy about taking my medicine and didn't take it for 3 or 4 days in a row, then remembered and started taking it again. 2 days later it was like I was starting from square 1(all the same effects) Don't fix what isn't broken-don't stop zoloft"


"Though I have only been on Aviane for a week, I just wanted to say that it's great! My breasts got bigger within a day or two of starting the pill. They're a bit sore but it's nothing horrible. I have occasional cramps but they are infrequent and only last a few seconds. I have noticed that I am hungry a lot more often but the key to not gaining weight on birth control is to not give in to the increased tummy rumbles. I had a little bit of stomach bloating the first three or so days of starting the pill but it's subsided now.
One more huge benefit I've noticed is that within a day of taking the pill, my mood did a complete 180. I have noticed that, since staring Aviane, I am a lot happier and optimistic. It's great! I highly recommend this pill!"


"I have been on remeron, lamictal, strattera and for almost a year. I have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder, adult ADHD and ptsd.  In August I was present when my best friend of 36 years years passed away from cancer. Needless to say that grief combined with MDD had me in a very bad space in my head.  I Went to my doctor and he suggested abilify as an add on to the remeron, I was already on 45mg and he refused to increase. He also prescribed buspar as a prn for my anxiety.  With in days the dark pit I was in closed up and I was able to breathe again. Although still grieving it comes in manageable waves now instead of being 24/7. I have had very minimal side effects and take 5mgs in the morning.  I would recommend this medication"


"I'm 26 and have suffered with acne since my early teens. Sometimes mild other times I've not wanted to walk out the door. In recent years I've been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries syndrome, which has a side effect of acne. After years of trying so many creams, washes, old wives tales, etc. my doc finally gave me Duac! AMAZING! My chin was severely swollen with spots that were red raw. After a week of use it was like a miracle! If I could upload my pics I so would. My skin was near perfect. I now use Duac along with Proactiv 1,2,3 kit and my skin has never looked so good. I even get so many compliments and I feel confident now.
I highly recommend! Good luck!"


"After becoming allergic to Metformin for my type 2 diabetes, I began taking the Bydureon 2mg shot once weekly.
I've been on it for 10 months now & must say it has changed my life.  My A1C is now 5 ... *claps*
My side effects have been:  knots at the injection site and sulfur burps ... *ack*
But overall I'm thrilled with Bydureon."


"Does absolutely nothing I take the 20MG dose along with 4 alieve a day and 4-6 Tylenol.The Hysingla ER did nothing to help.

All it does is make me very sleepy 4-5 hour after i take it threw the rest of the day.

I mean so sleepy i wouldn't want to try to drive a car."


"I've had bad skin since 4th grade, I never did anything about it I would just wear makeup and coverup, last year in grade 9 I went on the pill for my skin, it completely cleared the acne on my back and chest but my face was still bad. I eventually got put on differin gel, and within the first week my skin was clear for the first time! But I began getting a red rash on my face and my skin was peeling and very sensitive to anything else I put on there, even my makeup. I've now been using it for about 4 months, to anyone who is looking to go on differin gel I highly recommend it, but do not judge your skin within the first few weeks because your skin will be getting used to it. I now have completely clear skin and am very happy."


"At first it helped with pain and fatigue but after two years, bad side effects.  Hot flashes, not hormonal, pain, fatigue etc.  Trying to stop taking it but having lots of leg cramps while titrating off. Good luck all!"


"Dizziness for a couple of days as I adjusted to it then again had dizziness for a couple of days as dosage was later increased to 1200mg per day. Slept well, but was tired early and required going to bed about an hour earlier. Took for five years. Unfortunately it did not eliminate all seizures. Had several absence seizures requiring that I change medication."


"I am currently on my 3rd month and every Month I have had 2 horrible periods.  I have never experienced  such heavy painful.periods while on birth control.pills. I take my pills at the same time every night so that is not the problem.  I have also been having some  emotional  issues  which may or may not be related.

I will be talking g to my Dr about switching"


"Getting on birth control was my last resort in trying to get rid of my terrible cystic, hormonal acne. The kind that looked even worse under makeup. I tried EVERYTHING to get rid of it. I even took special woman's vitamins called vitex which made me have a full body itch for two straight weeks even after I quit using it. Since I knew that my acne was hormonal because of it's location and the irregularity of my periods, I broke down and went to the gynecologist (even though I was terrified). It turned out that I had high levels of testosterone. Even after 2 months, I saw results. After 4 months, I can happily say that I only get 1 or 2 pimples a month as opposed to the usual 10 or more! Now I just have to deal with the post-acne red marks.:("


"I had Kyleena inserted in May and my periods have been getting better lasting just 1 week every month.  The only con there is to it is just getting it put in you will cuss like a sailor because of the pain, but luckily it doesn't last more than a minute and I never had a baby before.  My partner doesn't feel it during sex, I had no mood changes, no acne, no weight gain, it's the best birth control ever!! I will get it again in 5 years"


"I'm 14 years old, and 2 weeks ago, the very next  Day of my homecoming I started feeling sick with pain on my right side of my stomach so the next day I go to the doctor and I get an ultrasound but they can't find my appendix. So two days later I have fever and diarrhea so I go to the hospital. In the hospital they do a CT scan which made my whole body feel warm.  They then tell me that I have appendicitis and they insert many antibiotics in my IV & tell me  that they are going to have to drain the pus from the appendicitis by inserting a tube inside of my stomach. So when they started treating me with antibiotics to make some of the infection to go away they see a lot of improvement so they decide that they are not going to be draining."


"Started taking  generic Singulair  on 7/26/17 by 8/02/17 I started having vivid dreams only at bedtime and every night until today when I called my doctor and got the medication changed. For just under a week every single night I couldn't tell if I was awake or dreaming. The first night it happened I was cuddled up with my husband sleeping on his chest and I woke myself up snoring when I apologized to my husband for snoring so loud he said I wasn't snoring. I fell asleep again within ten minutes and thought I was still awake and I swore I saw a spider on the sheets by my face on my husband. I jumped up yelling spider woke myself up and freaked out my husband because there was no spider, I had dreamt the whole thing. It only got worse"


"I am a person who has suffered from constant yeast infections for a long time.If you stared too hard at me I might catch one .Everything irritated me from body wash/jacuzzi water/ or anything with a scent would have me right back in the dr's office. I usually prefer diflucan pills because it works but I wanted to try a different route because even though diflucan gets rid of the problem,it seems to always come back.I bought these pills from a local Walgreens and I took one orally and it did make me feel a little weird and I inserted one vaginally but it did not hurt.Slight stinging every so often but it's nothing major.I hope this works !"


"I have a Traumatic Brain Injury. I asked for Tylenol for pain and they came back with this. It worked very well. Maybe a little too well!"


"This Med is a wonder drug it has kept my highs normal and my lows alot better. I am not suicidal anymore i am nowhere near as depressed as i was. my moods have been the same a couple mood swings but i am only on 3mg so i still have some room to go up its the best medicine out there i have been on alot of them."


"I started on humira a year after my diagnosis and felt better overnight.  It wasn't the pain that was doing me in it was the total lack of energy and not feeling like myself.  I finally felt normal again.  My doctor wanted me to also take methotrexate but the oral pills caused almost constant vomiting.  After my wrist problems I tried the methotrexate again with no success so was put on enbrel.  I had some minor skin infections on humira but never ran a a fever and could always be cleared up.  So after almost 3 years on humira I was switched to enbrel.  My energy plummeted, although I had no pain or flares just constant respiratory infections with fevers.  I was put on sub q meth and humira and energy returned.  I am so much happier!"


"nerve pain, tingling, painful tension, numbness in face, headaches, shoulder and ear pain, "zaps" in face due to really bad TMJ for 11 months. That caused a major depression and extreme anxiety & insomnia. After I was hospitalized for a brain surgery (different story, not related) and the doctors heard about my story the pain management department got involved & rx'd Gaba & Opipramol (Germany). Immediate relieve of 95% of my symptoms with the first dose of 300 mg. I went up to 300 2x daily and was back to my old self within a week. After a horrific dentist app 8 months later I was left with tons of more pain & had to goto 2400mg to feel effects on pain, despite Gaba fell in deep depression, anxiety etc.Just added nortriptyline & see...."


"I've been on it for 3 months now & I love it , period is much lighter ."


"this drug actually helped me lose weight for some reason I exercise everyday and my diet has never been particularly bad but I wouldn't say it's good either and Ivery lost about 20 pounds since starting the drug. my acne is gone. occasional moodiness at the beginning of starting the medicine about 3 months ago but that evened out once my body got used to it."

"I have used Cialis for 5 yrs with great success since age 57. I cut 20 mg into 6 doses that last about 24 hrs each. Enables me to keep a strong erection for 45-60 minutes."


"I got this shot a few weeks ago and my side effects are already horrible. I had anxiety before but now it's so much worse. My mood swings are unreal and my breasts have been so tender to the point where I can't touch them at all and they've grown a ton. Not to mention the few pounds I've already put on in the short time. I will never take the shot again. I don't recommend this form at all. Once you get the shot, not matter how miserable the effects are you can't do anything about it. Going back onto the pill once this wears off."


"I am a 18 year old girl that made a stupid mistake. My boyfriend and I never have unprotected sex but on November 3rd  we did. I got my period October 28 and I was just finishing up my period the day we had unprotected sex. We ran to get plan b about an hour after that accident. I googled everything about plan b and I saw that apparently there is a 165 pound weight limit and I am really scared cause I'm over that. "


"At first I was hesitant because of the price w/o ins (over $100 a bottle) and some people can develop a serious rash. However, after some contemplation, and knowing that the lithium I was taking was not helping my bi-polar depression, and knowing Lamictal helps increase energy, I decided to take it anyway... I LOVE THIS STUFF. Its helped me so much, I've gone off lithium and am taking it exclusively for BP2. I'm on a low dose of 50 mg because I experienced some itching at first, which did go away after about a month. Now, I have NO side effects, and my depression is GONE without me feeling numb. In other words, I can still be sad without spinning into depression. I haven't gone manic either, but I rarely go that way, so it works for me!"


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"have a colonoscopy at 7am tomorrow. This is my 2nd time using PEG3350 and this time I made a schedule.  Started on the hour, then every 20 mins another 8oz
glass.  I used a straw while holding nose! Don't let go of nose until glass is empty.  I had a small capfull of listerine waiting-- and gargle after every cup you drink! Works like a charm!! After 5th cup the runs will begin! Then don't leave the bathroom-- except to drink every 20 mins!
Happy pooping! "


"I've been taking Yaz for 4 months now, I'm 16 years old. Few complaints, at the beginning this pill caused me horrible nausea and breast pain but that could be due to changing to Yasmin from Microgynon 30. Also I experienced spells of depressive moods which have now cleared up but I often experience mood swings! On a positive note my skin has cleared up massively and have maintained if not lost weight, great pill."


"Great medication. I was originally prescribed this medication in a treatment center to help me sleep and with anxiety when I got off of amphetamines (adderall, other amphetamines). I was taking it at bedtime. I found that it helps more with my focus, and it wears off during the day. I take 3mg once daily. However, I still have some strong ADHD symptoms. Intuiv just helps me... stay less scattered. Oh, and insurance is a rubbish it can be difficult to get this medication even with insurance."


"I tried to quit opiates on my own and I couldn't do it. I was so dependent on them I would vomit, sweat, light headed, aching bones...just miserable if I didn't have opiates in my system. I went into a detox program, and opted out of doing either a methadone or Suboxone quick taper program. I instead went on the 'opiate protocol" which was clonidine and Syraquil. I was amazed how effective it was. I went through none of the nasty initial withdrawal symptoms. After 5 days I started feeling secondary withdrawal symptoms (nausea, irritable, bad insomnia, sweating, night chills, shakes, aches)."


"This is it. You might have to up or decrease you mg according to how you feel at first. I take 3, 18mg tabs in morning. It is the Concerta ER, lasts from 8-12 hrs. No side effects at all for me. I am calmer, more focused, and still get a lot done during the day. I easily go to sleep now. Recommended for ADHD though, not for ADD symptoms. I am energized during the day and do not "feel" like I am "coming off something". I highly recommend this."


"I just started Victoza so I came here to read reviews about the medicine.

I'm an EMT-B (working on my paramedic) and I work in an emergency room.  So, I'm very interested in disease processes and how different medications work for different people.

I wanted to offer suggestions to people experiencing the side effects of the medications.  Examine your diet closely.  Keep a food journal.  Your doctor might be able to help examine foods that make the side effects worse.  Also, consult with your doctor about probiotic treatments such as Previcid, Protonics, Nexium, Prilosec, etc.  Medications like this might be able to minimize these symptoms."


"So I have struggled with constipation since I was 14. I'm 17 now. When I was 14 I was given laxatives from my doctor but they were disgusting so I couldn't drink. Over the years I suffered in silence.  I was to embarrassed to tell anyone. This week I tried dulcolax.  I bought it from asda and in the first night I took 1. Nothing all night but during the day I had stomach cramps (mild). Finally I had a small stool. It Was painful like usual but not as much. Last nigh I took another. And I passed a larger stool. I'm a bit worried from reading bad reviews so I don't want to push to two pills so I'm going to stick to one tonight and hopefully I get back to a good rhythm. It's worked so far though so I recommend!"


"I took Accutane 10 years ago while I was in high school. It's amazing what it did for my skin. The only side effect I had while taking it was a lot of really bad nightmares. After ten years my skin is still clear. I think I had my first pimple 6 or 7 years after taking it and only 1 more since then. I was on the lowest dose for 9 months. I was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome a few years after taking Accutane though, which can be a side effect. It worked wonders for my skin so if your acne is severe and you've tried numerous other products that don't work I would recommend taking Accutane."


"had sinusitis for 3 weeks and got augmentine for medication. I'm on my 3rd day now and thinking of stopping as it gave me severe headache. couldn't do any work, just laying on the bed battling with it. augmentine is good, for most people, but not for me though."


"I'm 17 and have been taking this for about a month now for ADHD. I started at small doses of Ritalin (10 mg) and then moved to 20 mg. My doctor thought it would be easier to just put me on Concerta since it's 18 mg a pill. I then took 36 mg of Concerta which didn't work out. I got major irritability and started feeling depressed. Even my focus was off. I went back down to 18 mg and it's working much better. No irritability, depression feeling. Make sure you're on the right dose for your body, too much can do more harm and too little may not do any thing."


"I have to say I am greatly disappointed that this medicine was taken off the market. I obsessed about food all the time. I ate all the time and I ate extremely large portions. I took this for two months up until it was discontinued. I could not believe it. I lost 20 pounds. I did not exercise once. Surprisingly, I thought about food much less. I oddly craved healthier foods, I ate smaller portions and would be satisfied with the amount. And I lost 20 pounds without even thinking about it. I couldn't believe how much free time I had when I was not thinking about food. I wish that it wasn't taken off the market due to cardiac issues. I mean come on, even cardiac medicines can cause cardiac issues. How come those aren't take off the market?"


"I have had Mirena for four months now.  The insertion was quite painful but I had I had to get it done in the middle of my cycle instead of during my period so I guess more pain is normal then.  My cystic acne has come back in full force in four months and I spot brown very randomly but I suppose both of those could be due to other stresses in my life.  I am also feeling a little depressed and unmotivated, definitely gaining weight without much change in lifestyle. I am 31 with no kids, perhaps I need to work harder on my body now but 12 lbs in four months is a LOT for me.  I will give it six months to see if things level out."


"I have been taking 100mg every morning for 9 months,with Trileptal 450mg at night and Adderal in am and after lunch. I was so scattered and depressed last January 09 due to a lot of life changes but really all my life I have sabotaged myself living without treatment. These medicines saved my life and I will continue on them as long as they work. Pritiq is good for me. I mistakenly got my dose mixed up when I first started Pristiq and took 200mg. Never felt better but soon found out that it was dangerous and max is 100mg. Whew...must be careful. Life is good today and it can be for you too. I also use the Pristiq discount card and pay half price...really helps."


Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"I am 64 with AFib. I have been taking Eliquis for 6 weeks and it is the only med I take. Side effects are heightened skin sensitivity, and retro ejaculation. Not sure about shortness of breath and exhaustion."


"I was suffering really bad with my sinuses over the weekend and could find any relief. The doctor told me in the past to take Claritin, but it has never helped. I was at work this morning and my co worker told me about Zyrtec.  Actually she had one for me to try and within 30 minutes, I could feel the pressure letting up in my
sinus areas and what a surprise, I could breathe so much better, no sneezing, dripping, coughing, horrible pressure in my sinuses.
I was astonished that this little pill could work so effectively. I have to say that I feel like a totally different person today, thanks to Zyrtec. If you haven't ever tried it, be sure to, it is the best of the best. I love you ZYRTEC!"


"I am 20 years old and have had an irregular period my whole life. It was recently discovered that I have PCOS. I was placed on provera for five days to essentially kick start my period. Well it worked. Two days after taking the last pill I had a normal period start. Now the last three days have been extremely heavy flow with strong cramping and some nausea."


"I am 28 years old, 125lbs, extremely active with dance, gym and sports.  I take the pill at just about the same time everyday, give or take 15 minutes.  Have a pretty healthy diet.  I started Loestrin to prevent pregnancy.  I've been on it for 3 weeks and for the most part happy so far.  Here are my symptoms:

Wk 1 --> Severe bloating, daily nausea.  5 lb weight gain, but i'm thinking that was due to not being able to workout due to feeling dizzy.

Wk 2 --> Bloating gone.  Nausea gone.  Feeling back to normal. Some mild spotting for a day.  Increased a cup size.  Skin looks great and feels smoother.

Wk 3 --> Feel perfectly normal.  Lost the weight I gained the 1st week."


"First had the implant when I was 24, it was great, lost weight, periods lighter and less painful, bit of acne but I've always had that. 2nd one was rubbish. But my 3rd and current one I had fitted when I was 29 (I'm 31 now) its just been awful. Firstly I've piled weight on like mad, I don't have the healthiest eating habits but I don't have the worst either. I've put on nearly 2 stone!! Considering I do regular sport and exercise!! Then there is the mood swings and the anger, I'm just horrible!! Irregular bleeding and spotting, cramps all the time, lower back ache, greasy skin and hair, anxiety (which I already had but this has made it worse). Seems like if your lucky your ok on the first one, then it seems to go down hill after that. AVOID!!!!!"


"Horrific RX! Belsomra had absolutely NO effect in inducing sleep. I have been awake all night-every night, feeling like my heart is racing and feeling flushed. This script is fabulous if you'd like bouts of diarrhea and headaches."


"I started Vyvanse at 15 after a 2 year run on Concerta which I hated. When I started Vyvanse I was 5'8 150lbs. I started on the 30 mg dose and within a year was down to 132 pounds. The medicine works like a charm but makes it near impossible for me to eat."


"I just recently was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and My Doctor put me on Loestrin 23 Fe. The first month was fine just a little tenderness of my breast, but the second month was terrible. I have horrible acne, mood swings all the time, I have terrible cramps, headaches and I always feel nauseous. I will be going on a new pill as soon as possible."


"I've suffered from this condition my whole life. When I was younger people would always make comments on my hands. After years of begging I was taken to get it checked out. I'm amazed at the results. For the first time that I can remember my hands and feet are dry! The problem for me is the soles of my feet are itchy. Not just a slight itch, no, it's much worse. After a few days it fades. As a result of taking this it has caused my skin to peel from it's dryness."


"I've suffered all my adult life with facial hair and had tried all other methods of hair removal but no good. I'd been plucking 2-3 times a day a tweezer literally in every room and handbag. About 4 weeks ago went on line and read about this cream and decided to give it a go and it has changed my life in 3 weeks the hair though still there is finer and slower growth now only plucking every few days, I know its early days but felt had to share my experience."


"I have had it for 3 years now since December of 2009 it has worked perfect for me .. less periods to none and I do have mood swings. But other than that it has worked awesomely."


"Absolutely amazing. I have been treated for bipolar/major depression since I was an adolescent. Been on everything under the sun. Some did help-but nothing kept me consistently on an even keel. By the time my Dr gave me samples of Latuda-I had no expectations. For the first time in my adult life I feel normal. My mood is relaxed and happy-I'm sleeping well and no excessive hunger. It does kill your libido-but that is fine with me-I have lost 7 lbs. I started on 40mg and gradually increased to 120mg--I also take 300mg Wellbutrin, 30mg Adderell twice a day and Ativan as needed for anxiety. This medication is life changing."


"I took Fastin this morning and within 30 minutes, my heart was pounding so hard I thought I was going to throw up. I don't like the way it made me feel. "


"This birth control protected me from pregnancy every time ! Sometimes I would take it a few hours later as well and it would still work. There is a lot of estrogen in it so it caused me to get headaches. Super light, predicted period every month. No cramps. No weight gain other then your typical bloating."


"I was in good health but developed severe neuropathic burning pain all over the body due to an MRI scan. I have been taking 10mg amitriptyline for the past 4 weeks and it seems to be starting to work, the burning pain is less severe so far. It hasn't helped any other symptoms which devleoped following teh scan but I would recommend it for neuropathic pain- also, I haven't develeoped any of the stated side effects. My friend also takes it in a higher dose (50) for depression and she is fine on it (no weight gain etc). Side effects not a reason to not take for pain."


"I was prescribed clarithromycin and Prednisone for my sinus infection and bronchitis. I was told by my pharmacist to take the clarithromycin with food. Then she told me to eat something like Activa yogurt about 2 hours after taking the clarithromycin because clarithromycin will tend to kill the good bacteria in your stomach which is what brings on the diarrhea many complain of. The activa then helps rebuild the good bacteria in your stomach. On my third day and feeling a little better, and never any diarrhea. I attribute the good experience to good pharmacist suggestions.I make sure to eat food and the Activa yogurt 2 hours later, and no side effects yet and I am feeling on the mend,"


"So I took the pill 10 hours after my little encounter with my best friend. It was my first time and I was shocked that I succumbed to the pressure. I experienced cramps and headaches the whole week after taking the pill. I was worried when my period didn't official start that Monday but I was three days late which was Thursday when I came on. I'm so happy and relieved. This pill works. So just calm down and breathe."


"I have taken Namenda and Ariceptfor years.  Memory has improved!  Have had the vivid dreams others have described, also muscle cramps.  Is am going to cut back on the Aricept and see if it helps....although usually enjoy my dreams!"


"Took Levaquin for 4 days after a week of amoxicillin did not help spider bite. Last night broke out in severe hives. Now taking steroids to counteract the antibiotic. Only reason I rated what I did is because spider bite is much better"


"This medicine has helped me. I have taken others for my anxiety, that did not work well. It does make me over heat easier. That is the only draw back to it."


"A ruptured brain aneurysm; placement of 10 coils and a stent, 75mg Plavix   325mg aspirin. Bruise like a peach and will get 3 dimensional bruising if I hit hard enough. Possibly some dizziness."


"I have suffered from treatment-resistant generalized anxiety disorder for over 15 years and have tried every treatment in the book (except for Celexa). Nothing worked. Before Celexa I was on Lexapro, which is supposedly the newer, more 'refined' version of Celexa, and felt horrible. About 6 months ago, I decided to switch over to Celexa and have never felt better. I felt a difference right away (within a day or two). I am finally back to my happy, bubbly, chatty self. Other SSRIs that cut my anxiety made me feel 'flat'. Not Celexa. On Celexa I'm still able to feel my emotions-I can laugh and cry (when appropriate)-without feeling overwhelmed by them. I take it in the morning and have so much energy all day. I highly recommend this medication."
