"I was given Ativan during a small procedure and it worked okay. I didn't feel anything ...just a had a bit of a hangover after the procedure."


"Worst birth control I've ever tried! I've been on birth control for 7 years now but it's only been 2 weeks since I started taking the generic version of ortho tricyclen. I never had any issues with my last birth control but this one has caused way too many side effects. 2 weeks in and I'm super moody, gaining rapid weight for the first time in my life, always tired, and have horrible head aches. Rather pay for expensive birth control than feel like this. Definitely don't recommend it!"


"Adipex(phentermine) is great for weight loss.  I did experience minor side effects (i.e. dry mouth, insomnia.) I have taken this medicine on and off for several years.  I noticed rapid weight loss the first time I took it, losing over 30 pounds in the first month.  I was 202lbs when I took it the first time and after only 1 month I was down to about 170lbs.  I went off of the medicine for several months, didn't exercise and returned to my original eating habits, regaining all of the weight plus some.  The second time I took it I didn't experience the same rapid weight loss I had with the first attempt, only getting down to about 182lbs. Going for try #3 but will do it right this time with exercise and diet change for life!"


"For the first time I can get to sleep every night.  It usually gives me about 5 hours of sleep, and if I wake up and take about 0.15 Klonopin, I can go back to sleep for another 3 hours.  Feel rested for the first time in years!  I don't take it until I am absolutely ready to lay down in bed, then lay down and think happy thoughts to carry with me to dream land.  Previously, due to bipolar insomnia,  I would take tons of Nyquil, Benadryl, Sominex, l-tyrosine, melatonin that only gave me a few hours sleep and I'd wake up and take more pills. For years I couldn't sleep in a bed but would wander through the house at night trying to get comfortable on the floor, etc. as my husband just bumping me would wake me up.  I thank you Ambien!"


"I had a cold sore on my lip and as soon as it went away two others popped up. They were so bad and I was so miserable so I finally went out and got abreva. I'm on day six of using the medicine and my cold sore is already gone!  It would've went away so much sooner if I hadn't waited so long to get the medicine, it's expensive but it's definitely worth the price!  I'd recommend abreva to anyone who has a cold sore you will not regret it."


"I started taking tramadol for chronic shoulder pain after I broke my rotator cup, and found it works about as good as Vicodin. I have since realized it improved my mood much like hydrocodone does, big plus. I just hope I don't develop a tolerance like on Vicodon. I've also realized tramadol decreases my appetite during the day which is another big plus. I highly recommend this medicine for pain if they are reluctant to using narcotic pain relievers."


"I am a chronic migrainer- I tried ALL the other triptans and Axert worked best.  I had to learn to take it when the migraine first started for it offer complete relief.  It does make me a bit tired but well worth not having the migraine pain.  If it is a particularly bad headache, I'll still feel tension in my neck but usually Excedrin will help with that."


"Three days ago, toward early afternoon, I noticed a slight tickle in the back of my throat. Then a slight cough. The next morning, boom! Full blown Flu. My whole body felt like I had been hit by an Amtrak train that didn't derail. I could barely clothe myself. I saw my doctor that evening. After about 5 minutes of taking a rather crude test for the flu witch consisted of a lady twisting a wooden stick with a course piece of felt at the end almost all the way up my nose, I tested positive for the Flu. The next day I started with a morning dose of applesauce and Tamiflu. To the best of my ability to judge, my symptoms were reduced within a few hours by about 30%. By that evening 35%. Day 2 50%. Today, day 3 Beers! And Tamiflu!"


"I will start off by stating I am a pharmacist so I have some additional knowledge to back my statements but also am on Geodon 100 mg total daily dose. First off, you must take with a meal (at least 400 calories) or else you're only getting about 40% of your dose. Secondly, it can cause drowsiness (or somnolence), however, I did not experience that myself. Also, you must be on a pretty solid dose to treat bipolar 1 so slowly increasing MAY be necessary to prevent side effects, and if that's the case you must be patient. It did take me a few days to get up to a dose I could tolerate and that did mean some extra days of hypomania, but it was worth it for the relief I feel now."


"Chronic fatigue since I was 3 yo.  I'm now 55 years old started taking amantadine. Found it hard to tolerate. Went down to one 100mg every two weeks. Went back up until I was at one every day for 5 days. Going strong!"


"I feel really good using this medicine for bipolar and depression."


"I have been prescribed this for that last year and a 1/2. From day 1 I have had the same effects from it, which is good. I do not seem to be showing any signs of "addiction" or need to have the amount increased, the downfall for me is with it I can sleep about 4 - 5 hours (which is great compared to what I used to do), however it doesn't help me fall asleep at all, so I'll lay there up to 2 hours before I finally drop."


"I became very ill with severe vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fever, chills, aches, exhaustion...and I had a 5 month old baby to take care of. All this DESPITE the flu shot. Twelve hours after the initial onset, my doctor diagnosed me with the flu and prescribed Tamiflu. It slowly got better, and two days later I am some what functional...which is good, because now I have to take care of my baby AND my sick husband. We'll be getting him Tamiflu, too!"


"Just started Lyrica 75mg twice a day yesterday. My first dose, I felt extremely drunk, and could not function.  I took my second dose at bedtime, and slept through the night, and woke up refreshed!  I had no aches or pain.  My 3rd dose, this morning, again feeling a little drunk, and off balance... but again, I feel good.  I can actually sit still at work, without having to move around and try to be comfortable.  I am going to stick with this medication, and hope that the side effects go away in a couple of days."


"Due to a toxic neuropathy which causes an excess of electrical conduction through my peripherical nervous system and results in neuralgic pain specially in my legs, arms, hands, feet, torso & face I have been taken 450mg a Day. It worked for a couple of years but now my body tolerance has reduced its pain killing efect. Don't want to increase dosage and my neurologist seems at a loss as what to prescribe."


"I have had joint pain, tiredness,insomnia, and fluid retention.  I can't wait to get off of this medicine.   It's like taking poison."


"Pro: I recommend Azurette. I started on birth control after I would get nauseous for two weeks out of every the month. That has been fixed. I've been on other birth controls and say this birth control worked best for me. I've been on it one year. I haven't had headaches. My sex drive has been great. I haven't lost or gained weight.
Con: Occasionally sex will be uncomfortable. Its not bad enough to switch, because I've had too many problems with other meds."


"I’ve used Nuva Ring 3 Times now.  I planned both of my children around it and took it out about 3 months before trying and had no problems conceiving.  I never had weight gain or mood changes.  I recommended it to everyone.  I loved it.  So naturally, as I just finished nursing my 2nd, I went back on it.  This passed month has been a nightmare.  I’ve been depressed, and honestly just plain crazy.   Mad at my husband for no reason and no sex drive. There was a week I couldn’t fall asleep until 2am-5am.  Maybe my hormones have changed after having my son, but I will definitely be looking into something else."


"I got Nexplanon inserted about two weeks ago. I haven't had a period, bled, or even spotted since. I have a friend that also has the implant and said that she had. I've actually lost 3 pounds since insertion but I have started working out. The only side effect I'm getting is acne. My face was fine until tonight. My skin is oily now and I'm breaking out on my forehead. My skin was always clear before this. Other than that, this is the best birth control I've had."


"Diazepam has helped me a lot. It mostly helped me at night time to sleep, that's when I would take it. Now I am on a quarter and starting to take it every other night only when needed."


"I'm French . I'm using Stribld and I am coming to US . So where can I find Stribild and how Much is a box ?"


"Copaxone was working great for over 10 years, until the day came that my injection site reaction went anaphylactic.  Not a pleasant experience, especially when health care providers (of which I am/was one) refuse to believe that the only potential exposure agent was Copaxone.
I would be willing to give it another try (in a controlled hospital setting with emergency medicines on hand), but my neurologist and PCP won't let me.
If you can take it, site reactions are the only problem I ever had, as they only occurred the last year I was on it.  Side effects were virtually non-existent compared to the other ABC medicines and the new treatment modalities."


"I have been very impressed. I was taking 10-12 Norco on a daily basis for pain control. This is my third week and I am now taking the 30 mg. I am taking very little Norco now for breakthrough pain. I am less groggy and have better concentration. It did take about a week to get used to the new medicine. All I wanted to do was sleep for that week. Now the only issue is the constipation which is brutal. Although some Senna and Miralax work well.

I am actually thrilled with how much better I feel. It is like suddenly waking up and being alive to participate in life again. WOW"


"This has been the only med that I have used in the last 20 years I have suffered from back, neck and arm pain. I had two back surgeries that helped but not long term. Pain meds did not help much and having a heart problem that prevented any surgery unless it was a life or death/, no muscle relaxers worked if I could use them......and the strong ones they would let me have them for few a month so I could get some relief. Pain was so bad I was not eating and drinking enough....which sent me to the ER with my Blood pressure bottomed out. So they put me on this medication and I have more good days than bad. I sleep, and back tending to my over all health. THANKS"


"I had a tummy tuck and heard about this drug to help with recovery. It certainly made the first 72 much more bearable. I paid an additional fee of about $300 for Exparel. It was a very good decision. I had no side effects. I prepared to be in agony and wasn't at all. Those 3 days post op can be the worst days. Exparel is a miracle."


"Vyvanse 60mg ( 19 years old, 138 lbs )

Suffered of ADD since I was 7 years old. Never consulted before, I am now 19 years old. I just got my first prescription, I always had issue with my grades and I always had to work 5 times more than every other student for the same grade. Today after my first pill I just realized that in a normal condition my brain was only working at only 20% of its full capacity when studying, reading, driving or even in sexual relation (I had erectile dysfunction) and today with the pill I just felt invincible and in a super good mood (not understanding what you're studying or simply reading is just depressing). The pill made effect after 1 hour and it last approximately 10-12 hours. I really recommend Vyvanse."


"Well I have a history of migraines and take fiorcet and usually that works .. But not this time and so Doc  at ER  this shot IV  for migraine well Benadryl makes u very sleepy anyway then to come back in ask me how I was well I'm so sleepy but today this morning hurting like hell .... Don't understand why he couldn't give me like 12 or 10 tabs of a pain med like Vicodin or even Tylenol #3 to get me by just really didn't think I was asking that much he made me feel like a drug seeker I was in pain bad  he acted like it was sinus problems that's so crazy .. I had been crying of course my nose was running ... I feel people that need help can't get it and the ones that don't need it get whatever they what ... I see this a lot  at wk"


"I have been on this medication for little under a year. I will say that I have not had a seizure since I've started taking the medication. Unfortunately there are a lot of side effects with this medication, dizziness, vision problems and headaches. I think my dosage may be too high but my neurologist refuses to lower it because of its outcome thus far. I have tried to learn to deal with the side effects. I do not think that they will ever go away but I guess I can just be happy being seizure free. I was on Trileptal before and was having seizures every time I was stressed about something. Overall, the medication has given me back control!"


"I have been on lexapro for about 6 months. I started on 5mg then 10mg then 15mg which is what I am on now.  For the first few weeks it lowered my mood but now I am a whole new person and it was completely worth it.  I am so focused on work, enjoy socializing so much more now, appreciate music, it has really lifted my mood from a 4/10 to a 10/10. I still have bad days every now and then but nothing compared to before.  My social anxiety has also almost completely gone and people at work comment on how confident I am. I started my job after about 6 weeks of taking it so they never knew me before.  I think its really good how it has made me so focused and goal motivated too at work and in life, I am really happy I started this medication."


"I have been using this medicine for a little over 6 months. I have noticed some weight gain, but on the plus side, my acne has cleared up. This pill gives me little to no nausea (all pills make me feel very sick), I have had no headaches, my periods are shorter, lighter, and I do not experience cramps anymore. All in all, I say it's not bad-  I have been on SEVERAL types of pills, this is the best so far (minus the weight gain of course...but if I were to get pregnant, I would gain a lot more weight!)"


"I've suffered from OCD since about the age of 9, but wasn't diagnosed until I was 44. I was prescribed Zoloft at 100mg a day at first combined with some cognitive therapy. After around a month the dose was increased to 200mg/day, which seemed to work more effectively. I have now been taking Zoloft for 10 years now with no significant side effects (only feeling slightly hotter than before). I found if I didn't take the Zoloft with a meal or on an empty stomach, I would feel very nauseous. But, all is great if taking with my meal. Zoloft has helped my life considerably. My wife often comments how much more chilled I am and easier to get along with and we can talk about OCD openly with an understanding of why these compulsions were there etc."


"took for psoriasis  went away!!!! then came back!!! quit cold turkey do not do!!!! side affects are worse coming off drug. acts like a narcotic!!!!!  i too thought the sides effects were worth it but it comes back!!!!  one side effect not mentioned bad mood swings!!! and have panic attacks when you try to get off the drug!!!! people need to know."


"I've had my Kyleena IUD for about 6 months now, and have had no problems! I am 22 and was previously on the pill for about 5 years. This is so much easier! The insertion was kind of rough for me (but I'm a big wimp). I had very bad cramping and was feeling dizzy for about a half hour after insertion, so my doctor just had me lay down, drink water, and take ibuprofen, but afterwards I was able to walk home from my appointment! I had bad cramping for about two days after, but it is a small price to pay to not have to worry about birth control for 5 years. I had bad cramping with my first period with Kyleena, but 6 months in my period is VERY light. Each month it seems to get less and less! I wouldn't be surprised if it stops completely soon!"


"Started Savella at 12.5mg at bedtime, then after a week added 12.5mg in the morning. No change in pain, stiffness, sleep, brain fog, etc yet but my doctor warned me it could take 4-6 weeks to see benefits. Have tried everything out there for relief. Still taking 60mg baclofen every day and up to 6 lortab a day, plus Ambien, Topamax, Requip. Lyrica was a joke, Cymbalta not much better. Praying Savella will be the 'miracle drug'."


"i started the original Tri-Sprintec a while back and had the worst stomach pains and was throwing up so much each night after i took it. i was scared to start Tri-Lo-Sprintec and when i did my cramps started to ease. i have to say overall, i am extremely happy with this product. i don't use the bill for birth control, i mainly use it because of bad menstrual cramps and very heavy bleeding. and so far its been very good. i do have some spotting between periods but thats apparently normal for a little while."


"This worked perfectly. I used it at night & woke up in the morning in heaven. No itching or burning when I peed. Don't know about the other symptoms people were having but I didn't experience that at all. Would recommend this product to anyone."


"Relieved muscle spasms caused by risperidone."


"For 2 1/2 months I took buspar 10 mg 3x a day for anxiety. It took the anxiety from a 10 to about a 6, but it never seemed to get better than that. Med manager advised magnesium seems to work for some people to lessen anxiety. I started taking magnesium oxide at 1000 mg/day, which lessened the anxiety but caused lower gastrointestinal issues. Then began taking chelated magnesium glycinate about 800 mg/day which works amazingly well for me. I have weaned off the buspar entirely."


"I've been on zovia for about 3 years now and I've about had enough. Yes it has been so far amazing in preventing pregnancy or whatever. But the side effects are no joke. The weight gain is horrible, for example if I eat regularly without the birth control I weight 130 pounds but if I'm on the birth control eating the same I weigh almost 150 pounds IT IS RIDICULOUS. My mood swings are so bad I'm so sensitive and emotional and I wish I would've read reviews on the birth control first because, before your period if you think PMS is bad try being zovia while you're on your period NOBODY will wanna be around you. Anyways not everyone is the same but that's just my experience."


"I have been on Remicade for nearly 4 years.  Prior to that I had a variety of Crohn's issues including two surgeries for peri-anal fistulas, severe fatigue and lots of other fun stuff.  I have been very lucky in that I have responded very well to the stuff and now most days I am fortunate enough to forget I have the disease.  I was apprehensive about potential side effects but to date have experienced none.  Prior to Remicade I took a few medications which did absolutely nothing but the Remicade had a pronounced effect within 24 hours of my first infusion.  If you have Crohn's or Colitis would seriously consider an anti TNF blocker (haven't used any of the others) and stay the hell away from steroids."


"Took it for 6 months and it got me through the worst of my symptoms"


"My doctor gave me my choices for what medicine I wanted to be on and I chose copaxone.  I've been on  it for 6 months now with little side effects.  The biggest side effect I have is a skin reaction and that goes away in about 20 minutes and I haven't had another attack since I started it.

"


"Started Saxenda 5 weeks ago

Was lucky that drug plan covered it.

My pharmacy doesnt stock it so have to order a couple of days ahead

Down 10 lbs i believe and 2" in off my waist

Walking every night . A step counter or fitbit really helps with this

Getting treatment do sleep apnea as well which has really made me feel better and have more energy to exercise. Will start more vigorous exercuse soon

Some nausea when i went to 1.8ml but only for a day

At full dose of 3ml per day at dinner.

Some constipation but trying to drink lots of water

drug makes you feel full after small meals. I haven't finished a lunch in a restaraunt in weeks"


"I have been on Zyprexa for over a month and feel wonderful.  It has helped my depression, sleep and paranoia.  The only thing I hate is the weight gain.  I have gained 20-30 pounds already and is a huge battle.  Already was 160 after having first child.  Definitely would recommend though."


"I am only 23 years old and I had my Implanon removed today. I had it in for about 8-10 months and the only reason why I rated it a 2 instead of a 1 is because it did not get me pregnant. However, my side effects have been mood swings, off and on periods (never stable), and nipple discharge. For 2 months, we have been trying to figure out why the discharge was happening; after doing MRI scans and breast ultrasounds and everything look normal (not mentioning the costs of all this) the doctor said more than likely is was the Implanon and to have it removed, so I did. "


"Have to agree with many others who have already commented.  This medication saved my life. It is important to realize you have to really want to quit using for it to be successful.  I had to make meetings a regular part of my life and leave all those behind who continue to abuse drugs.  It was really difficult but a lot easier than the last couple of times I'd tried without Suboxone. When I started Suboxone I'd spent 4 months without using but in complete misery. I was in a perpetual state of opiate withdrawal. I couldn't experience feelings anymore, or sleep. My body couldn't even regulate its temperature anymore.  After induction I felt normal for the first time in many, many years. No more withdrawals or suicidal depression."


"I have never ever experienced this much discomfort and I'm only on day 1 of 3. It was fine when I applied it at first, and then an hour or so later the itching became SO intense I just wanted to stick a toothbrush up there to scratch! It's worse than the infection itself. Never again, I will go the natural route next time or just let it run it's course. This is hell"


"I have suffered from migraines since I was in grade school; I'm now 40. I didn't know about treatments until I started college. Midrin had worked wonders for me for years...and then it stopped. Fiorinal and many of the triptans did not compare; they took longer to take effect and I could not deal with some of the side effects. I have started seeing a well-known neurologist who has finally gotten me on the right treatment (topiramate to help control the frequency of migraines and Relpax to help at onset of migraine attack). It feels so good to actually have normal days!"


"Very effective initially but has started to fade. Was already on Tenormin for blood pressure, but was sometimes having 3-4 attacks per week. When I started verapamil, I went for nearly 3 months before another attack. Now taking the absolute maximum dosage to control blood pressure, but attacks are slowly becoming more frequent."


"Metallic taste, yes. Fatigue, no. Hungry, no. Intestianal disturbance, no. Took 4 pills and once for two days. Drank a lot of water.  Smell gone, discharge clear. I ate Fage yogurt end of day two. Everything will be okay!"


"Had to take one a day for 2 weeks. Pain, urgency, frequency continued for 8 days as if I were on nothing before I physically started feeling a little better.  Felt like all symptoms resolved after taking entire cycle.  I didn't care for being miserable that long. I will go with something else in the future. I don't recall any negative side effects that I had."


"I started suffering with panic disorder for 3 years and was not using any treatment. It got to the point to where I was agoraphobic and wouldn't leave my house I was scared for my life and felt like I wasn't even a human being anymore I suffered dramatically from what is called derealization I ended up turning myself into a hospital that had a mental health outpatient program which put me on klonopin 0.5 mg twice a day and it literally changed my life I finally have a life again and can move around and do things, I can go to work I still once in awhile start to have panic but the Klonopin doesn't allow me to actually have a panic attack. My general anxiety is now down to nothing and I can feel like I can live again. The first month had its ups and downs"


"I got this medicine in early January, it is now almost July. I LOVE IT. I am a migraine sufferer and have seizures, it was super hard to get me a birth control that I like (I've tried 7 other types). I wasn't allowed to have certain types due to the seizures so they were limited. I didn't hear about Lo Loestrin Fe until I made my first appointment with an GYN. Now that I'm on it, no sore boobs, no moodiness, no weight gain, no acne. I got my period for the first time today (which is why I was researching if that happened to anybody else) but its really light and seems like nothing to worry about. So I would definitely recommend for anybody like me!"


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"Great birth control pill. I use it for contraception (the only form I regularly use) and for polycystic ovarian syndrome symptom management. Prior to trying Safyral I tried two other brands and had horrific side effects. The only one I get on this pill is cravings! Mostly for sugar and sometimes carbs which I try hard to avoid! I would highly recommend this pill!"


"I got Paragard for a more effective, long lasting birth control. I didn't want to worry about missing a pill when I was taking birth control. I had Paragard placed June 16, 2017, and today, September 19, 2017, I found out I'm 5 weeks pregnant with my first pregnancy. I'm 22 and haven't planned on having kids for years--hence a birth control that's *supposed* to be effective for 10 years. Yet Paragard failed me after less than three months. Needless to say, I do not recommend it to anyone."


"This is an awesome medicine. I am so happy to have been able to use in pregnancy.  I was on it from 20 weeks to 36..they say 12 days after you stop the shot you go into labor, that was true for me as well. This is the only medication that helped me complete a pregnancy.  It's awesome! Yes the shot in the butt hurts and you stay sore about 4 days. But it was totally worth it."


"I have been taking Qsymia now since 6/13 I started at 211 lbs and I am 5' 1".  Today is 1/27/14 and I weigh 176.4lbs.  I do not eat the healthy foods and I do not exercise regularly as I have issues with my knees and shoulders that my tendons flare up when I workout so I only do so occasionally and my main activity is housework and yard work. I still eat fast-food occasionally and pizza just not like I used to.  Now here is the thing I had high blood pressure when I started and now its perfect! I am my doctors guinea pig and I am being monitored I had an EKG before starting it and I have to still go in for follow ups and he did a blood panel last month to make sure I wasn't having any hidden side effects!  Came back negative and I've lost 35lb."


"I experienced immediate results with lower cholesterol and lower triglicerides, NO side effects whatsoever."


"It worked to prevent me and my boyfriend from conceiving, but it made me feel HORRIBLE! It made my periods longer and HEAVIER! The day I took it off I had instant relief. It made me feel bad because my doctor said of my family history of depression and anxiety that I inherited."


"Adapalene gel completely changed my life! I was prescribed adapalene gel .1% for the night time and clindamycin lotion 1% every morning. At the beginning, I would also use 10% benzoyl peroxide as well. I had many clogged pores on my forehead and chin. I would often get cystic acne on my chin (sometimes forehead and cheeks). My acne did flare up slightly in the beginning but it wasn't that bad. I was told it would get worse before it gets better and they were right! Exactly around 8 weeks, my acne was basically gone! Now it is November and I started this treatment at the beginning of August and my skin has never looked better! Definitely give this product a try"


"After over a decade of dealing with outbreaks, I finally decided to try Lysine last week.  My outbreaks are triggered from sex - nothing else.  If I go for long periods without sex I don't get any outbreaks.  Once I have sex or ejaculate I start to feel the tingle a few hours later.  Sometimes I can have sex two days in a row before I feel the sensation.  I bought the Lysine after getting the tingle and getting that "nervy" feeling under my skin.  I took 1000mg every three hours on that first day.  By the next day, the feeling was almost gone and  I took three more 1000mg.  No outbreak.  I was so happy.  I had sex five days straight and still no tingle.  I haven't taken any for the past two days.  I will continue to experiment with it."


"I was a binge drinker and finished a bottle of Scotch every second night so when it started to be nearly every night I went to my doctor and he prescribed me Campral,  never had any cravings and could be around anyone who was drinking and it wouldn't bother me, its now been 2 1/2 years since I had a drink! I only took it for 6 months and stopped taking it because the chemist couldn't get it but I already knew I was fine by then. In Australia it only cost $6 per script....saved me a fortune. "


"Prescribed a 10 day round for sinus infection in February 2016.   Immediately developed digestive issues, cramping, loose bowel movements, gas and bloating.   It is now 6 months later and I am still battling the issues.  Doctors first thought it was UC, but after colonoscopy now thinks IBD or IBS, maybe Celiac.  I'm headed to hospital for additional testing."


"I have been taking this medicine for almost year and half, it has caused me to have tremors uncontrollable, muscle spasms in my shoulders making them rise up, have had mental challenges thinking this could be neuroligical disease. I only took it at night as soon as it wore off all the nerves took off worst then when I wasn't on it. I stopped the medicine and my body took 3 days to go back to normal.. I made appointment with chiropractor 3 weeks later and he could see the difference. The doctors don't always tell you the information you need. I been in 3 car wreaks with in 1 1/2 years and none of the doctors cought what this medicine was doing to me. I was suffering in alot of pain, all I could say is I'm better without Flexeril...."


"Went to doctor yesterday, after one full day of a low grade fever, chills, aches, and  stuffy nose with a little chest congestion.  I didn't feel like I got hit by a Mack truck, still went to work etc.  I decided to go to the doctor earlier than I normally would have.  They did a swab test and confirmed I had the flu.  They gave me Tamiflu.  It's been about 36 hours and three doses into it and I feel at least 90% better.  My wife's doctor prescribed it for her as a preventative.  Neither of us have had any side effects.  We both took them with food."


"I took Bactrim for 3 days for a urinary tract infections.  I found relief only hours after taking the antibiotics but experienced severe nausea that continued to get worse no matter how much water I drank or how much I ate. Needless to say, I will be calling my family doctor to try something else."


"I have never been this functional before. 8 months ago my functional capacity was at 50%. All I was doing was work, recover, and burn through an excessive amount of sick, vacation, and banked time.

At home I was almost zombie like. I would spend all of my time curled up on the sofa in pain, fog, or fatigue.

Thanks to LDN:

Today I was able to pool run for 30 min! I did laundry and sorted all of the socks.

Yesterday we had friends over to hang out for the first time in ages. I was able to go to a movie. I was tired after it all but it wasn't an all encompassing thing.

I flirted with my fianc"


"I suffer from degenerative disc disease.  For years I was unable to live a normal functioning life.  My Doc had me taking 4/10mg Norcos & 4/30mg Morphine pills daily.  While they gave me some relief, I was still in a great deal of pain and felt like I was taking pills all the time. I spoke to my Doc about my continuing pain and the constant pill popping with minimal relief.  She told me about Oxycontin.  She said that she didn't normally prescribe it and only had one other patient on it but, I could try it to see if it gave me any better relief.  I take 3/40mg Oxycontins daily now and the difference in my life is amazing.  I hate the way people treat me when they learn that I am taking Oxy.  It works wonders so get off our backs."


"Works tremendously well for me."


"I've been taking this drug for about two years and I have mixed feelings about it. I started it because I had 10 day+ long periods with severe cramps lasting even longer than that. I started on the lowest dose and had CONSTANT spotting for a long time. Told the doc and she moved me up a dose. This is where the mixed feelings come in... I have had perhaps two days total of bleeding (only when I forgot to take the pill) in the past two years but I've also experienced significant weight gain, acne, and mood changes, and it's getting old. At this point I'm considering switching to a different bc method. Unfortunately, I can't take anything with estrogen! (Migraine with aura)"


"Third week and no weight loss yet. I am an active person who goes to the gym 6 days a week. I have been eating healthy for 3+ years. Hit a weight loss plateau and the doctor thought this would help. Not giving up on the drug yet. I have enough to last until October. Side effects are manageable. Constipation and mild nausea"


"Constipated, ringing in ears, depression,  blurry eye sight, weigh gain, swelling,  hot sweats."


"I started this birth control a year ago, and for around 9 months, everything was fine. I was emotionally stable, there wasn't any significant weight gain, and my periods were super predictable and manageable. I ran out around the end of November, and I elected to take a break from the pills & didn't refill.

When my period came in December, PMS hit me like a freight train. It was awful, so I reordered & everything was totally different the second time around. I don't know whether the formula changed at some point, or if something changed with my body, but I've had prolonged vaginal bleeding & have been experiencing crippling depression and anxiety.

I stopped taking the pills last week & everything is 100% better."

"I have had the shot only once. I didn't get my period the first month which is okay with me. I got my period the second month. It wasn't heavy like normal and only lasted a couple days. However the third month I got my period at the end of the month. My cycle is usually the beginning of the month. I've been bleeding light and heavy for the past week or so. I've had bad cramps and just been depressed. The shot made me gain a lot of weight the first two months now I'm just dropping weight like crazy. I also noticed dryness during sex. I would get the rod but scared because of the reviews back to the pill"


"I am a 26 year old,5.3 female and weighed 177. I have always struggled with my weight and it is very depressing. I started taking the medication on Friday 12/9/16. So far it seems to curb my cravings, but I have a headache and trouble sleeping. Advise?"


"Working well for me and I have had no side effects. I did reduce my other blood pressure medication."


"I had never been on birth control and just 6 weeks after having my little boy I was placed on this birth control.  This pill has given me such headaches that I had to start taking the product around 8 in the evening so that it wouldn't bother me. I have also not been able to lose any weight on this.  I have been regularly exercising and eating under 1200 calories and not lost a pound.  The side effects have pushed me to have to switch birth control."


"I am having the worst itching of my life!!! I've never felt something so bad! I've had a yeast infection before, it happen because I used a sented tampon, but I remember that when I used over the counter medication it didn't make me more itchy on the contrary I was not itchy at all!! This is my second yeast infection. Why I got it, this time I don't know. I applied the medicine I fell asleep and in one hour I woke up with horrible itching!! I tried washing it off but it seem hopeless so I just left it alone, but oh god it is the worst thing ever from 10-1, 10 being more itching and 1 not itchy at all I'm currently at 9!!!"


"I just finished my third month of Levora pills and have no plans to start a fourth.  Although it did prevent pregnancy and help to regulate my periods, I have experienced horrible depression, anxiety, and a major increase in appetite.  I don't think I've ever felt so awful emotionally as I have on this pill.  Great that it worked for others, but this is definitely not the pill for me."


"3 weeks ago after seeing my Dr about some weird "bumps" on my vagina I got the devastating news that I have HPV.   In tears walking out with my prescription for Aldara I was in too much shock to recall what my DR or pharmacist said about applying this very pricey cream. I came across this site and the more I read the more scared I was to use it. I'm sorry for those that had severe side effects but I think it is important to note how effective and great this medication is and how it can work well if used properly!! I only applied it to the warts, used vasoline around on the healthy parts and took benadryl with it at bedtime. In the morning I was sore swollen and sensitive, however it was tolerable. 3 weeks after using it the warts appear gone!"


"I started blisovi because Junel Fe was recalled. I agree with the others about extreme breast soreness and nausea during the first few days. My first month was tolerable after I got beyond the first week. The second month got a little better and I never experienced weight gain, acne or mood swings ( I don't think. Lol) the pharmacy then switched me to another generic of this form name Noreth/ethin bcz Blisovi was not available. I took that with the same side effects and now I'm back on Blisovi. I'm not happy with all the sudden changes. I wish Junel Fe would come back. These are all not the same even though they say they are. I get anxiety every time I go to the pharmacy now. I never know what I'm going to get."


"I was diagnosed with crohn's disease when I was 27yrs old. I'm now 54. Ive been through 2 fistula removal's and many nights awaken with extreme rectal spasams. no fun! Extreme weight loss and fatigue. My Dr. put me on Asacol 400mg (2 in the morning, and 2 at night). turned my life around. Dr. told me I needed to stay on the medicine for rest of my life. I felt great, put weight back on and then I did a stupid thing. I decided to stop taking it. was doing fine for past 5yrs but its back. weight loss and all other symptoms, cramping, loss of appetite, etc..   If Asacol is working for you, stay on it."


"I read about 300,000 reviews before my insertion so I figured I’d contribute my experience. I’m 27, no kids, no birth control and first IUD.

I had this inserted this morning so this is insertion only. I’ll update after my follow up visit in 4-6 weeks. I was terrified of insertion after reading some of the horror stories. I was prescribed misoprostol (orally) and hydrocodone (5/325). I also took 2 midol complete, and asked for a cervical block. This worked for me.

The insertion did not feel like a cramp but two instances of someone scratching my uterus from the inside. Not painful but uncomfortable for 2, 3 second instances. Did not feel the tenaculum or block at all. Heat is doing wonders for the cramps."


"I've been taking Vyvanse for a couple of months and I've have learned that the first couple of weeks taking the medication is really the hardest when it comes to side effects. I suffered from dry mouth, loss of appetite, head aches, some but very few mood swings. As far as sleep, I crash at the end of the day which can be due to this medication. I am irritable every now and then, but before I was very frustrated with everyday activities. It gives me energy for the most part. I'm not shaky or nervous like I was on Adderall XR. I haven't lost a ton of weight on Vyvanse unlike Adderall which I lost 60 pounds on within 4 months. "


"Effexor was better for fibromyalgia when you could control dosage and take more if needed."


"Hey ladies! So my (ex)boyfriend and I had sex yesterday and used absolutely NO protection. He did pre cum inside me, and he told me millions of times he didn't ejaculate inside me. He pulled out on the right time, but I was still worried. Unfortunately I was ovulating a lot. Fast forward to today and my mother and I went to get an over the counter Plan B. I'm crossing my fingers I'm not pregnant. Next week I will find out with a test! "


"Made depression worst ,was not effective even at 150 mg. I got an understanding of why people become alcoholics or drug abusers on Effexor/Venlafaxine. I would lay in bed all day waiting for life to pass by. I never had feelings of despair so severe. If I mised a dose or waited for an hour later to take Effexor I had an intense "Rush". I would pace around like on cocaine or speed. You cannot stop taking this medication. I am still trying to get off it!  When I reduced my dose I had a drunk effect with nausea I just felt so awful. I consider this to be a drug that shoudnt be prescribed. Celexa and zoloft "robot drug"worked well on me for anxiety and depression but I do NOT recommend this medication.  Going back to Elavil"


"Xyzal is one of the most effective antihistamines out there, IMO.  It stops all my allergy symptoms from the first pill- I can feel my sinuses open up.  It has gotten me through horrible seasons where the grasses I'm allergic to are rampant.  The only downside for me is the major sedation.  It is supposed to be non-sedating, but a few people will have issues with this.  Curiously, I find the sedation to come on several hours after I take it, so I time that with bedtime.  At first the sedation was so bad that it felt like I was going under anesthesia!  My allergist told me she had the same issue, and had me cut the tablet in half to take the pediatric dose.  That helped a lot, but I still time it for when it makes me tired."


"I've been on implanon since january 2015 and it has worked efficiently for me. I got it because I kept having ovarian cysts even after surgery and really bad and heavy periods, so the doctor said it would be good idea to put it on so I didn't keep producing more cysts. The procedure it's super easy and painless so you don't have to worry about that. If you're right-handed they will most likely put it on your left arm and the same thing happens if you're left-handed. I have experienced about 2 slim to none like periods, needing only panty liners. I always use panty liners just in case bc I don't want to ruin my underwear if some blood comes out, which is rare, but I don't want to waste them for such a silly thing."


"I took this weighing 145 lbs and 5'6". Took My Way, not expiring till 2017, within three hours of sex. I read that over 165lbs it becomes less effective but apparently 145lbs is in the less effective range too, I am now 8 weeks pregnant. Beware."


"been on Cymbalta 60 mg for 8 yrs. I have chronic headaches.I was told I have fibro yrs ago, depression. Dr tried to get me off 4-5 yrs ago. Couldn't!  Dr says now let's do it. titrated from 60mg alternated with 30mg every other day. After 2 Weeks went to 30mg after 10 days, 30 every other day. After a week of that I caught a virus and couldnt eat so I just cold turkeyed it. I had the bad zings! Sick, depressed, migraines & achy, GROUCHY, 3 weeks off, better but irritable, achy, dr will let me try Savella, I look after  a toddler SO grouchy not good or my nature.  I'd go back on but....also used generic Duloxiotine?"


"I am someone that does NOT like to take medication.  I am an adult and I found out I was ADD back about 5 years ago and started taking Strattera for it.  I  am a slow metabolizer so was using 10 mg per day of Strattera.  Recently I felt the need to add some additional medication to help me focus a little better.  In reading about Daytrana, the thing I liked about it was that I knew I could cut the patch down in size (to 1/2 or 1/4) if I felt the dose was too high.  I usually am VERY sensitive to adhesives, but I've been on it about 2 weeks now and have not had a problem at all. I clean the site where the patch had been with alcohol after I take it off and have not had any skin reactions.  The product is GREAT (10 mg dose patch)."


"I took Savella for about 45 days. I started out on the titration pack. The more I took it the worse I felt: nausea, headaches, dizziness, dry mouth, dry eye balls, etc. While taking Savella I was also taking 40mg of paroxetine, which I have been taking since 1997. My doctor decided that I should come off the paroxetine and increase the Savella to 200mg. I couldn't do it at the same time. So I weened myself off of the Savella in about a week and now I am in my second week of weening myself off of the paroxetine. I don't know if I will try Savella if I get off paroxetine or not. I have come off paroxetine before to try other drugs: Efexor,Celexa,Lyrica,Cymbalta, but always went back."


"I've started medication  June 24, 2011 of two 500mg tabs a day and I still have had 6 outbreaks in less than four months. Yes, healing time is faster but I would like to have less outbreaks like 1 to none a year."


"If you're browsing this wondering whether or not to try it, just give it a chance for 2 months. Everyone is so different, you'll never guess your own reaction browsing others experiences. But if you're curious- here's mine. It was recommended to me for a hormonal imbalance/acne when I was 18. I'm 25 now and still taking it. First month was awful but I'm glad I stuck it out. Now my periods are lighter, cramps are milder, migraines are gone, and I did not experience any major side effects (no weight gain or moodiness!). However my sex drive isn't as high. Not nonexistent just taken down a notch. I still think the benefits have outweighed the cons for me. Also - was switched to Rajani and then back to Beyaz. Didn't notice any difference"


"Can't live without it."


"I took 3 puff I woke up puking my brains out went to er I was wicked dehydrated had get 3 bags if fluids.has any one ulse experience this!!!!!?????"


"Went to the hospital in severe pain. They gave Toradol through an IV. Pain was completely gone. Found that I had a kidney stone."


"This is the only antidepressant that has worked to help my depression. Others have helped with anxiety, but not for depression. The side effects are as listed, but are manageable and, in my case, have gone away two weeks into 40mg titration."


"I discovered my very first yeast infection just a few days ago and was recommended Monistat 7 as it worked fine in the past for my mother. I don't know if the formula has recently changed or what, but on my first use it burned like hell. However, it did seem to be working and I was relieved for the next day. On the second night I used it, it still burned horribly. Both nights I had to stand in the shower until I felt relief. This will be the last day I use this and I'm only on Day 2. I'm scheduling an appointment to receive a pill medication instead! Beware. This should be an absolute LAST resort if all other options are unavailable and quite frankly it should be recalled since it has been giving so many women so much pain. Peace. :P"


"I feel like the ground is moving under me , I have headaches and diarrhea .  My hands hurt a lot, I wear white gloves  to try to protect them .  It would be better to learn what is causing it than to be medicated .  I am not as happy as I was before this medicine .  Why can they make this medicine , but not know what is wrong ?"


"I've battled migraines since I was 14 and was diagnosed with PMDD. 10 to 15 days out of the month I get crippling migranes. I've tried numerous things and nothing has really helped. I've been on Inderal for a couple days now along with Norco and still have what I would consider a fairly bad headache. I'm still seeing the aura and occasional star flashes in my eyes. I'm hoping something changes here soon. I will say last night was my first night since I've had my son, I slept a full 6 hours straight. "


"This pill didn't give me any of the listed side effects, and my periods were only about 2-3 days (which is very short for me, loved that). If that was all, I would give it a 10, HOWEVER, it completely killed my ability to get aroused (wet), my libido was there and I was very into the intimate moments, but I was very dry ....unlike me.  It also made my skin and scalp very dry too, it's like it sucked all the moisture out of my body.  I switched to a different pill and the dryness problems went away in about a week.  Definitely not the right birth control pill for me."


"I went on Minastrin to help regulate my periods which were coming every two weeks or so, and ever since I've been on this pill, all I've done is bleed! Now I'm constantly having my period..... Hope I don't bleed to death! Fml"


"I have had less mood swing, and less night sweating since I started taking Lexapro. I feel more in control of my emotions and am able to think clearer."


"I'm 21, no kids, got Skyla about a month ago after dealing with crazy mood swings with a different bc  I was taking. The initial insertion was pretty painful but only lasted about a minute, got extremely light headed and nauseous after insertion but went away within 20 minutes, I got mine done at planned parenthood which I'd suggest and was even able to get it for free through a program they have and only paid for implantation. So far pretty pleased with the IUD itself, good sex drive, my mood swings have completely decreased, overall very very happy I got it, the only downside it random cramping that can be pretty uncomfortable but there's usually a few months after starting a birth control where your body adjusts so hoping they stop soon."


"This is the 3rd time ive taken dulcolax, and my experience has been awful, all 3 times!! Be ready to experience stomach burn to the maximum.  It is so very awful. I gave it 3 chances, but that was it. It feels like you are going to die, the cramps and burning, not worth it. I am allergic to Miralax, so i will switch to a natural remedy, or maybe stay constipated, before i take this horrible pill again. I mean, it freaking works, but the stomach discomfort is insane... never again!"


"My boyfriend and I used the pull out method but I was still super nervous because I knew I was ovulating. I know the pull out method is not always 100% effective so 2 hours after we had sex I went and bought plan b. I got my period 2 weeks later!! Very effective as a backup plan! (Also I am 165 pounds exactly so I dont think the whole weight limit thing or BMI thing has anything to do with the effectiveness of the pill)"


"No need to stress! I had unprotected sex on they 19th of November, right around ovulation. I took the pill 12 hrs. after. I had mild nausea and some cramping, and sometimes feel really sad. It came time for my period in the beginning of December. It never came, I was freaking out. I took 1 prego test a week later and it was negative. Now it December 26 and my period just now came! Before it started I had very sore breasts and mild cramping. But if your period is late it does not necessarily mean your pregnant! I did so much research and that just makes your stress even worse, and I honestly think that's why I missed my period in the begin of the month. We all make mistakes, just be more careful in the future! Much love xx"


"I have a severe dairy allergy and I have had it for all of my life. My doctor (who has been a doctor for more than 20 years) told me I had the worst case he has ever seen. If I touch it, I break out into hives, if I eat it or just put it in my mouth and then spit it back out, I go into anaphylactic shock. (where my lungs close up and I stop breathing) I always carry around the liquid Benadryl (because it works faster than the pills) in my purse. On many occasions, a double dose of it has saved my life and delayed the reaction from getting worse until I could get to the emergency room. Literally a life saver."


"I have been on Sprintec for one month and just started my placebo pills. Since starting this BC I feel like a completely different person. I have constant low energy, terrible bloating, little to no sex drive, and terrible emotions. I have not previously had issues with depression, so it can only attest to this pill. The entire three weeks I've been on Sprintec I have had brown/black discharge(something I used to only experience on the very last two days of my period) this discharge seems never ending, and so does my unhappy mood. Save yourself the trouble and DON'T TAKE THIS PILL"


"I started my son on guanfacine 1mg at night. He was 7. This is after trying a Prozac/ clonodine mix to treat his ADHD, which I hated because all my kid did was sleep. With the guanfacine, which is the generic for intuniv, he is doing great!! The 1mg at night didn't work well though. After all the adjustments I made, I ended up giving him a 1 mg in the morning and a 2 mg at night. This combo works great and my kid does not sleep all day. In fact, he hardly naps-he has made friends in school and is doing great!!"


"On it 9 weeks. Helps the rheumatoid arthritis, but I'm going bald very fast. Eliminated other DMARDs to confirm it is in fact the Enbrel.
I can not lose all my hair, so I'm quitting it. It began falling out in clumps within the first week of shot #1. Too bad. Got the Enbrel card and it covered the cost."


"This medication really works for me, I wouldn't know what I would do without it. However, it does upset my stomach a bit."


"I had Implanon inserted 4 wks after having my daughter. I thought it was the best birth control method for me since I wanted no more babies, or at least for a long time. A week after insertion, got my first period since giving birth which lasted exactly 7 days. Then for the next 2 months nothing, no bleeding. 3rd month, got a period...lasted 7 days. (Just spotting though), month after got a period around the same time, spotting only. Then month after that, had my period for nearly 3 wks. It never seemed to stop even after getting it removed. I was also so moody on this birth control and hated not knowing when my period would start. I couldn't lose extra baby weight. Just not happy with it so I got it removed and now I'm back on the good old birth control pills!"


"I first started taking the pill when I heard about it from a friend. I was iffy of course because results may vary. I saw my doctor discussed with her why I was requesting the pills, although she did advice me that everyone is different some people may lose some people may gain at the beginning, which just made me feel a little scared I mean after all my intention was to loose not gain .....So my starting weight was 225 I'm 5'2 and 26 years old mother of 3 . I started around November 2015 with a low dose first two weeks I was extremely exhausted no energy but I did notice some of my pre pregnancy clothes which I have not worn for quite some time actually fit... Current weight 149 January 2017."


"This medicine helped my blood pressure and was used with Indapamide."


"I was extremely nervous to get nexplanon because all I could find were scary reviews telling horror stories of hair loss, acne, and never ending bleeding, but my doctor assured me all of her patients had loved it. I have had my implant for just over a month now and I couldn't be happier! I've had none of those terrible side effects, if anything I think my face cleared up from it! I had an extremely light period that lasted about 10 days but other than that I've had no side effects. Try it out, it's way better than taking a pill."


"I have had the implant for about 6 months now: I LOVE IT! Nevertheless, like with any other contraceptive method, there are side effects. For me, I haven't had my period in 3 months. BUT if you do your research and speak to a doctor, you'll realize that this is perfectly normal and not harmful to your health. I haven't had any migraines, no weight gain, no pain, nothing.  I am okay with not getting a period - I'm just as healthy. Remember: just because it did not work out for you, does not mean that it won't work out for others. So, do your research before, during and after getting a contraceptive. Stay safe and give it try, if it doesn't work, take it out. It's not the end of the world; don't just bash it. Every woman's body is DIFFERENT."


"I have really bad acid reflux and had suffered from anemia most of my adult life due to heavy periods. Regular iron supplements would irritate the lining of my stomach and cause lots of pain but this product is great. I have been taking Slow Fe for two weeks and I feel better already.  I have more energy, less shortness of breath, less pain in my body and I don't crave for ice anymore. It can only get better. My iron level was 9.0 before starting slow Fe. I will go to my doctor sometime in August. The only side effect is mild constipation."


"Absolutely worthless.  I went to a clinic on Thanksgiving day and was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection.  The doctor prescribed this and my cough has gotten SIGNIFICANTLY worse.  I'm  completely irritated.  I can't sleep, and I'm about to go to the drug store and just buy some damned cough syrup.  I'm not surprised at all to see all the one-star reviews.  Wish I could give it ZERO."


"I started taking Buspar 5mg twice a day due to anxiety of my Mom being in the hospital. Let me tell you how it affects me...positively. I take it along with Prozac 20mg once a day and the combination works WONDERS for me. I take both in the morning and the Buspar in the afternoon around 4pm. What a difference!!"


"I got Nexplanon implanted in August of 2015, and as of January 2016, I'm getting it removed. The positive features were that it was 100% covered by my insurance and that it was effective contraception (my partner and I do not use condoms). After implantation, my period came about five weeks later and did not stop for around three months. I read that this can happen with Nexplanon, so I decided to wait it out, and the bleeding stopped completely after a little over three months later. Then, after only two or three weeks, the bleeding has started again just as strongly as before. My doctor has tried a low dose of estrogen and a regular routine of ibuprofen to see if the bleeding would stop, but neither worked."


"I had Nexaplon put in on April 21, 2015. It was mostly pain free. I had some soreness around the injection site but have no complaints. I no longer experience nausea or cramping.  I spotted for 2 weeks and have not had a period since getting the implant put in. I have increased acne but it is minimal. No weight gain. My insurance covered this and that was a huge factor in my decision. I would recommend this drug. Keep in mind that everybody is different. What works for me, might not work for you."


"I've had a pretty good experience with this birth control. I didn't experience any mood swings or weight gain. I actually lost a bit of weight the two times I switched to Kariva from a different birth control. Overall I felt better on this birth control than any other that I have taken. The big issue that I had is that after taking it for a couple of months I would get breakthrough bleeding in the middle of the month. The bleeding would last so long that it pretty much a second period. It was a bit frustrating being on your period for half of the month. It might have decreased my sex-drive a bit too."


"I took one pill. ONE. Within 12 hours I began itching from head to toe. In 24 hours I was in the emergency room with a terrible rash all over me. It was so bad and it was raised so high you could almost measure it with a ruler! I didn't want to scratch first. I had to get two shots in my belly, was put on oral prednisone for two weeks (which then calls for a slow wean-off of the drug), a prescription topical medicine and over-the-counter medicines. The rash hung around for almost three weeks. I'm allergic to sulfa and all NSAIDS, but my doctor wasn't sure what is in this drug to cause this reaction. He put me on tamoxifen next, which I took for 7 years but the cancer came back. I am now on letrozole with no problems except joint pain."


"I was 155 pounds when I started taking Tenuate 75mg. I know it may not sound like a lot of weight to the average overweight person but I'm only 4"11 in height, so its a lot. I lost 32 pounds and went down to 123 in two and 1/2 months. I've been off Tenuate for a little over four months and have gained 10 pounds back. It's been entirely my fault for gaining it back. I have had no self control at all and have done no exercise at all. I'm lucky that its only 10 pounds and not more. Bottom line, these are great pills for weight loss but once off them you really need to put your part to keep it off. Maybe after a month of being completely off them, you should take an over the counter appetite suppressant to help slowly curb cravings and hunger."


"Disclaimer: this is MY personal experience

Started Prozac at age 19 after issues with Effexor and after a few months I felt on top of the world--the happiest I had ever been. This was short lived. After 6 or so months something inside me snapped. Sex drive=0. My conscious turned into someone that wasn't me. Never heard voices before but they became overwhelming/evil & I couldn't shake the suicidal thoughts. I ended up quitting cold turkey as I noticed myself double dosing, then triple dosing. My sex drive is still 0, I've gained a ton of weight, and have been dealing with severe depression without meds because I'm scared to take them again."


"This summer - July of 2015 - will be exactly 5th year as I've had my mirena. I had it inserted 3 months after having my 2nd child and it took no more than 10 min for my Dr to do it.
I loved having mirena for 5 years as I didn't have to worry about birth control at all!
The only minus is that for first year or two I had irregular bleeding or to be correct spotting.  It wasn't really a period but every couple of weeks I'd have to use slim daily pads for couple of days at a time. Still, it is much much better than having regular painful periods and to worry about birth control every day.

So, I'm having my removed in a month and probably will give my uterus a rest for 2-3 month (if it's necessary I don't know... Maybe not) and get another one."


"I was given Dilaudid after a painful hemorrhoid surgery. Just writing this, I'm taken back to the excruciating pain following surgery. It was initially administered by I.V in hospital. I was then sent home with a prescription of it. This medicine is very potent and should be taken only under close watch of a physician. No side effects other than much needed pain relief and much needed sleep."


"Got my first Mirena in 2012 after I had my first child. It was great for the first year, no bleeding no symptoms, perfect! About a year and a month in I started having yeast infections 2-3 times a month every month. I couldn't take it any more so I got it removed. After baby number 2 I figured I'd try it again and that I would take probiotics, eat yogurt and drink plenty of water. It worked. However after only having it in for a month I did bleed for a week but nothing since, but my sex drive is non existent. Me and my boyfriend use to be very sexually active, but no now I've never had this problem. we don't even try anymore and that's depressing."


"I had skyla for about 4.5 months.  I was super excited as I am very sensitive to birth control pills.  Insertion was VERY painful and my doctor was great as she talked me through the whole process.  I went back in for my 1 month check up I said that spotting only lasted 4 days.  I had poking pain on my left side that never went away.  After month 3 which I stuck it out she couldn't find my strings,  I got an ultrasound apparently my cervix is narrow even for skyla. That's why it was poking me.  Brown Periods lasted for 1.5 weeks after 4 months.  I got it out today and the poking stopped.  Back to square one. Everyone's body is different.  I wish it worked for me!"


"I got my Skyla in June 2017 and now in October 2017 I'm getting it removed. Getting it put in was terrible, I was cursing at my doctor and nurse. The next week after that I was in extreme pain, cramping and everything. Now I'm having increased acne when I never had acne in my teens, I'm getting horrible cramps out of no where, it feels like someone is ripping my hip bones out of my body. I'm getting extreme vertigo with no warning to the point where I feel like I'm upside down. I'm getting vaginal infections all the time from literally anything; my period, sex, and even clothing is throwing off my PH. On top of that I am constantly hungry to the point where it's annoying. The only thing I like is I don't have to remember to take a pill."


"My daughter takes Lialda for sever Ulcerative Colitis, if the cost is a problem talk with your doctor for a discount card through the company when added to your insurance it only cost about $10 with my insurance only its $40 if no insurance I believe its about $40 a month not sure, doesn't hurt to check out. The card is good for a year and you have to call to renew it at no cost.  She started taking 4 pills a day and last summer her doctor dropped her down to 1. Since then over a period of 5 months its back with a vengeance severe bleeding and pain."


"I have had the mirena now for 3 months and the initial insertion was horrible, I didn't know to take ibuprofen, because although I had read up on side effects and the insertion I didn't see about taking anything nor did I think to. I have a relatively tight vagina as well which makes gyn appointments no fun already but I'm not one for taking pills so again I didn't think to.

That said, the insertion was terrible, so painful I passed out on a the table and the pain continued for hours only to be subsided when I was given an 800mg ibuprofen. I cramp slightly more but bleed a lot less, the only big difference I've seen lately is it is so hard to sleep and Ian anxious all the time. Otherwise so far so good I guess."


"I have had the implanon for 5 years (2 different ones of course) and I have had no serious problems with it. The only thing that is annoying is when it takes 3 months for my period to come. I'm constantly anxiously waiting for my period to come so that I know I'm not pregnant. But I haven't gotten pregnant yet being on it!"


"This will be my third month on Nuva ring and I am having really bad headaches and acne problems. I haven't gained any weight from the pill, but my acne issue has been worse since I have used the ring. But the ring is comfortable and very convient but I think the hormones are too much for my body."


"I used Yaz before I quit to start a family. I used it for maybe two years with no negative side effects. I have used others in the past and hated them. With Yaz I had clear skin, no mood swings, I loved it. About a year later I was losing weight. I was more skinny than I had ever been after high school. I can't wait to go back on it as soon as I am done breastfeeding."


"I had Mirena for 3 years.  It went through my uterine wall and had to be removed surgically from my abdomen.  It's been 2 years, and my female hormones are still a wreck.  I had migraine, anger, muscle pains, back pain, horrible fatigue, head pressure, sinus, and fuzzy thinking.  "


"I had bad side effects with this medicine so I called my doctor and stopped it my doctor told me that the benefits from the medicine outweighs the side effects so I went back on the medicine and I found out that eating with medicine helps with the belly pains and orange juice takes away the metallic taste"


"Brought my blood sugar and A1C down nicely, 6.3 at last test. No side effects. Patients can get two years free on the website if covered by private insurance. Otherwise $20 copay per month with BCBS."


"Severe UTI, lasting a month with one course of antibiotics that did nothing. Was in so much pain, never knew your bladder could pulse! People who have never had it, can't understand that a car journey is your worst nightmare! Now on day five of sulfatrim and symptoms were clear by two days. All I notice is my guts are a mess, slight sickness and a wave of tiredness after taking the tablet. Compared to the misery of a UTI, small side effects are bearable!"


"I've been on Nexplanon for about 2 months now and have had zero side effects and absolutely no break through bleeding. I did get my period a week after insertion but I was due around that time anyway... I didn't notice any difference in my period (same cramping, back aches, etc.) other than it lasted for a few days longer. (Normally it's 6 days, this time it was 8). I called my OB and she said to give it a few more months to really regulate.. I'm anxious to see what next month's cycle will be like. I just hope I don't get it on my wedding day!

Other thing I forgot to mention is that it was 100% covered by my insurance."


"Have had Ankolysing Spondylitis since 17, never knew that until 3 years ago. Just thought I had bad back, knees and shoulders. Had one of my "episodes" that didn't pass in 3 weeks, went to Docotr, gave all my symptoms, he asked if I ever had X-rays of my spine. Yes I had, but not the right area, and there was all this fusing, and calcification in my lungs, did some tests, and a referral to a Rheumatologist, findings of AS and Fibromyalgia. Enbrel has saved my life, I am allergic to NSAIDs so no help there, but with Enbrel at 48 years I feel I have this disease, not that it has Me.  Still have some BAD Days but am able to hold job and have a life."


"I took it for frequency and burning and hesitancy that I had. I couldn't even walk. But 30 minute after taking it all my symptoms where gone Now today (3 day after first dosage)  I have a terrible headache and I'm hungry, I am nauseated but not always. I'm just thinking about those poor animals that they test this drug on them.  I also experience cramps and watery diarrhea first day after taking this drug"


"I experienced my first Cluster Headache 27 years ago.It still took me moving to Atlanta and 15 years to find a Neurologist that actually helped me. An Imitrex shot works for the very short term but that's NOT the solution as we all know.  My Neurologist put me on a preventative dose of Verapamil and Topomax ( that means all the time) When cycle starts I Take 60mg Prednisone for 5/days,40/days,20/4days.As soon as I begin the Prednisone my HA's stop however since we can't stay on it forever when I get down to 20mg I start Medication Cafergot & take it late afternoon. If I don't do this headaches will pop right back up!*NOTE-Can't take Imitrex within 24hrs of Cafergot.I was nervous but didn't need it.In cycle now, also diagnosed w/MS 2015.
"


"I went to the ER also last month because I was having bad migraines they gave me reglan and benadryl in the IV right away I was  paranoid jittery  and tried pulling the IV  out my arm it was the worst feeling ever and I was so ready to go home. The good thing is that it did take my migraine away for about a month  now. I just started having another migraine yesterday and I went to the ER 11-13-15 and they gave me the benadryl  and reglan in the form of a pill - no IV  and I didn't get that feeling this time just went to sleep really fast. I think it was the  medicine going start in the  IV straight to my blood stream a little to fast that gave me the bad side effects."


"I am almost on my third week of the patch. The first day was AWFUL, my cramps were so bad I couldn't sit through a meeting with my professor and he told me not to go to class. The next day was absolutely fine and has been fine ever since. My breasts have already gotten much fuller. So far no weight gain I don't think, a little itchiness at the site of application, but it seems to be working really well."


"Excellent"


"I recently went up to 10mg once a day of norvasc. Still does NOT help BP

I have other medical conditions so I am not sure what side effects are from what conditions and other Meds. What I do know, is now i have crazy swelling in my hands legs and feet. It got so bad in my feet I could barely walk anymore. Even though it's not listed as a side effect I it feels like my whole body is swollen

I am done with norvasc forever."


"I have been on Sertraline for the last 4 months..started on 50 mg then 100 mg and now 150 mg..I was very wary of taking anti depressants as I had tried citralopram several years earlier and as soon as sexual side effects kicked in I gave up..figured I'd rather be miserable but still able to perform..Most recently I became more and more down, could barely face work, felt completely bleak and uncomfortable in most social situations..Since starting with Sertraline it has been a very up and down journey to say the least..at first quite a lot of side effects..bad stomach  (2 days) trouble sleeping (would wake early and be unable to go back to sleep) some weight gain and a loss of sex drive..I got to the point where I thought "your having all the"


"I guess I must have a very,very strong constitution as I have been on the 50 mcg patch for about 6 months now, I started reading about the side effects from withdrawal and it scared the crap out of me,so I decided to make an appt. With my pain doc,it's for 4/27. As of right now it is wednesday at 9:45 a. M. I was supposed to change out the patch on this past sunday,i haven't changed it yet,i still have the one on from the last time which was 4/13/16 the only thing I noticed last night is I was jittery and after taking my sleep meds temazapam and 1 mg of generic xanax, I was tossing and turning and feeling slight muscle spasms,a lack of sleep isn't that bad. I do feel qck tempered but will smoke a little tnite and that will help w/sleep."


"Positives: No periods now, no upkeep, easy, cheaper.

Negatives: I had a continuous period for about the first 8 months with basically no breaks.

Ultimately, I would suggest this to a user if they are very patient and wont become frustrated from the almost constant period that many women seem to experience from the implant. I was about to get it removed but now that i've gotten past the constant period stage, it is wonderful. Now there is little to no side effects and I no longer have periods."


"After taking this medicine for 2 days I can notice the difference in my sputum, its changed from green to white.  However I do feel extreme tiredness and only glad I've taken time off work for this to work."


"I might as well take niquil or Benadry! It doesn't work AT ALL!! Garbage!!!"


"I have been taking the 8mg suboxene strip for a while now. My insurance doesnt cover suboxene so my doctor wrote a script to try Bunavail since it would be free with a voucher.Yesterday was my first day on it and i already like it WAY more than subs.

Postive things about Bunavail: it doesn't have that nasty sub taste. It doesnt give you that feeling that your ok for part of the day then need to keep taking more. With subs i would have to keep taking pieces just 2 get through the day With the Bunavail i took 1 patch to the cheek whixh is 4mg and i havent felt this normal in years! I actually feel great! I can go through the day With no urges. Negative is that it takes FOREVER to dissolve on your cheek. FINALLY feel like im not taking a drug"


"I had Nexplanon put in around May and had been bleeding for months at a time. I had few points in which I wasn't bleeding and my mood had changed so drastically it was crazy. I got awful acne and got absolutely nothing from this birth control but wasted money on pads for periods lasting 3-4 weeks. Would not recommend at all. Getting it removed next week."


"I started phentermine 30mg on 8-4-15. So far I have gone from 129 to 120. I'm loving how fast the weight is coming off, but I don't really have any increased energy I was hoping to have. However, the weight is coming off and my appetite is suppressed so I guess it's doing its job. Hoping for the next 51 pounds to come off just as fast!"


"I did not think the insertion was painful i took 800 mg ibuprofen before hand and chugged a beer before i went in, didnt feel a thing. some spotting afterwards nothing much been in for 5 months and no issues yet i get some pain in my right ovary i think its when i would be having my period but i dont get them anymore just mood swings sore breast and ovary pain but no bleeding."


"I've never taken Xanax before up until now. I've tried Effexor, Viibryd, Wellbutrin, etc. but none of those worked at all and I could not handle the side effects. Xanax has given me my life back. My panic attacks have finally reduced, but more importantly I can continue to function in my normal everyday life. Most other medicines have me sitting on the couch in the evenings doing absolutely nothing as nothing seemed to matter. With Xanax, I can effectively handle my overwhelming daily task list!"


"My doctor just prescribed 10mg (cyclobenzaprine) 2X daily, due to disc protrusion in my C6-7 and muscle spasms in my neck and shoulders.  I have been taking it for a couple days now and it works great for the pain, however it does make me extremely drowsy! The night before last I took one at bedtime and it knocked me out cold and I slept great, but it made me very fatigued the next day.  Luckily it was my day off so I spent it in bed, but my spasms came back in the early afternoon, so I took another one.  Again, out cold!  Slept all day and decided not to take another one last night because I was still very drowsy.  I will reduce my dosage to 5mg around 6pm and see how that works.  Definitely not taking during the day unless in severe pain!"


"I started on 9/22/17, at 182 lbs. and today, I weighed in at 173.8lb.  Yes, I had all the symptoms that have been expressed, and I am finally at the end of my 4th week, and feel so much better.  Drink lots of water (I only drink water now), take a Pepcid in the morning before you eat to help with the nausea when you take the medicine.  Don't drink a lot of coffee if you are a coffee drinker, that will make the symptoms worse.  Also it makes you think about healthier choices for your food and drink.  I've quit drinking, alcohol, cigarettes, and caffeine.  I don't think about it, or crave it.  I need to lose 30 more lbs. to be at my desired weight.  Will check back in later on, with my progress.  It works, just hang in there!!!"


"I was initially diagnosed with ADHD-combined hyperactive and implulsive when I was 16. Up until that point, I struggled with my attention issues and excessive energy and it became increasingly difficult to cope with the symptoms as I got older. My doctor prescribed me Concerta 54 Mg once a day. I immediately noticed significant improvements. I was able to think more clearly and communicate coherently. At the same time I noticed that I had a better ability to control my attention and remain focused over a more prolonged period of time. My grades improved and my relationship with friends and family became much better.

I'm now 26 and still taking the medication. The therapeutic effects are still evident."


"This product has worked 100% for me. It did take a full 3 months to show full effect but truly- that's it- one year on and I no longer have acne at all ever- gone!!!
I have had regular breakouts since I was a teenager and at aged 42 I had finally had enough of the itchy lumps and bumps. Sometimes these spots would come to a head, other times, just linger for weeks. My face look dirty and dull and often felt sore either before I squeezed a spot or after.
 I was prescribed Epiduo by my GP in Australia and although I did have some initial redness, soreness and peeling, my skin quickly adjusted and now for the first time since I was 10 years old my skin is clear, everyday, all year round. No breakouts, I just wish I'd given it a try years ago"


"Side effects are tremendous, severe headaches, diarrhea and nearly living on toilet, fever and aches and pains all over. Been taking it for 3 weeks to see if I will ever get use to the side effects and they will subside, so far no. Not sure how much longer I can last on Otezla. Was really hoping it would help..."


"I really am that guy who has a VERY strong addictive personality. I try something... BOOM... I am addicted. I was a 2-3 pack a day smoker and honestly thought i would never quit after 18 years of smoking. Then I decided to drop take Chantix and BAM! I was smoke free after one week. I am now 6 months free from the chains of those little cancer sticks."


"My doctor will not prescribe Xanax, Klonopin, or Ativan for anxiety, but he was comfortable giving me a script for Librium (chlordiazepoxide) 25mg capsules 4x a day for my anxiety.  Worked well at the beginning, but like all benzo's, the efficacy wore off after about a month of use.  Was great while it worked and it was very inexpensive!  Tapered off then went back on it a few months later and it worked like a charm again! On and off usage for close to 5 years now."


"This is my second post, I was waiting for my insurance to approve this med....been on samples starting at 1.5, then to 3mg, and now 4.5mg, other then a little bit of restlessness, I am tolerating this med quite well (after trying over 40 other meds) it has been 2 months since I began taking it, and at least some of the suicidal thoughts have dissipated...I will continue to take it, and work up to 6mg starting next month....but by far, one of the best Bipolar meds I have tried in over 9 years!"


"Same experience as most reviewers. Painful burning/itching. I tried to get it out of me as much as possible but still burns. Do not buy!"


"Literally did nothing for my anxiety. Made me really sleepy but not sleepy enough to pass out. It just made me super sluggish."


"I think I am 21 years old. I feel like I can cut diamonds again."


"Not effective whatsoever.  Took a 20mg dose and felt absolutely nothing.  Very disappointing but luckily, I used the 10-day free trial voucher so I wasn't out any money."


"My doctor will not prescribe medicine for my panic attacks.  I have depression and when I have a panic attack have trouble breathing.  Doctors will not prescribe valium for these attacks because he says they are addictive.  This is crazy.  I am not a drug addict and need something to help me thru these attacks.  What to do.  Maybe a little lead to the head would take care of these attacks."


"I am taking Asacol for the last 4 years and I am still having problem with gas and like full stomach with or without eating or drinking. I am having inflammation in the body and increasing weight and increasing the prolactin (milk) and not focusing well and discomfort."


"I have anxiety and depression. I tried SSRIs and they just masked the depression and caused sexual side effects. Wellbutrin XL helped me feel much better and I didn't have negative sexual side effects. Best sex I've ever had on Wellbutrin XL.  Now with the future I think about, feel optimistic about and am  planning for it . I don't have anxiety like I had. I am more philosophical, "Tomorrow will be a better day. I'm motivated to accomplish things. I wish I had found this med years ago."


"I have been on 10 mg of brand ambien for 12 years.  It works, but only the BRAND name - none of the generics worked. My insurance would not cover brand ambien and I was stuck paying $435 a month!  I tried many medications, including several benzos, Serequel (halluncinated on that one!), etc. My osteopath had samples of Belsomra and suggested I give it a try.  At first I wasn't quite convinced it was working.  I gave it a good week.  I can tell you know I LOVE this medication!  It definitely mimics a more natural sleep cycle.  I do have some weird dreams, but that usually right before waking after 8 hours of sleep.  I would highly encourage trying this but give it a full week.  It stops the alerted mind and stress thinking."


"I've been on Abilify seems forever. It did work well except for my sleep. So I began Latuda 4 weeks ago and so far my sleep is really improved and so has my moods. I haven't had any side effects except for the sexual one, which they all seem to take away from that. Highly recommend Latuda. Very expensive though. "


"Allegra gel tabs make me drowsy were as Regular Allegra does not make me drowsy"


"My insurance recently raised my cost for Detrol so I switched to Oxybutynin. I am going back to Detrol as soon as possible, as it worked much better for me with no side effects. The Oxybutynin caused moderate to severe stomach pain and and I was spending much of my morning in the bathroom. I will gladly pay the $69.00 as trade-off in cost was not worth the side effects of the less expensive medicine."


"Received my first injection in my "worse" knee this morning...after initial pain of injection, within a few hours, there was noticeable relief of pain, so much so that climbing stairs was a breeze - for that leg, anyway.  Can't wait to finish the cycle (total of 3 injections) and then have the "better" knee treated, too."


"I have had Mirena in for about a year, getting it put in was painful for me and the whole first day it felt awkward. I had some spotting, and slight cramping for weeks after so I went back to the gyno to have a follow up to make sure it was in right, they said it was. 7 months into having this until now I have experienced some intense cramping, and a couple of months I have had spotting at the beginning of the month and at the end. Not sure if this has happened to anyone else and I also feel like I spot just as long as I would have had a period."


"I have been receiving natural hormone pellets for the past 6 months and feel great!  My blood work showed I had a very low level of thyroid, and I was put on the 30 mg in the morning ; as a result , I feel so much better.  I did gain weight but I cannot blame it all on the thyroid medication because I received the pellets the same time.  This week my thyroid medication was increased to 60mg, since my levels were still low, and I hope to stay at a low dosage.  I feel greater than before the hormone therapy and try to manage my food portions.  I will be buying the book called thyroid diet book to learn more about managing my intake of food.

The medication is working for me and I have not experienced hair loss and I hope not to."


"I have been on Ortho TriCyclen Lo for approximately 15 years, I'm not sure exactly when I started since its been that long. The first 5 or so years were great, I had regular periods, light-moderate bleeding, less acne and cramps but after that I've had less sex drive, regular adult acne, steady weight gain with the inability to lose easily (even tried weight-watchers with no effect), mood swings and slight depression. Other factors may have come into play with school, work and relationships but I'm now married and the side-effects are more noticeable since the other factors have leveled out. I'm trying something else mainly due to weight gain, mood swings and cost - I'm in Arizona - OTCL is now $88 a month."

"Worst birth control I've ever been on. It gave me the worst anxiety I've ever had in my life. I was an emotional roller coaster. I felt extremely depressed while on it. I used it for 1 year.  Do not use this birth control!!"


"I am 24 and I went on provera on the 25 of last month because I'm was bleeding since the 05 of September and soaking though my pads every two to three hours. For me provera slowed down my period and stopped it for three days and now I'm just bleeding all over again still bleeding though pad in about one to one and half hour now and it hurts worse,  I have cramping, bloating, nausea and clots are much bigger about the size of a golf ball and have been clotting ever since I started bleeding again.  I had blood work done it came out normal. Next is an ultrasound and after that is a pelvic exam. I need help not more issues...I started bleeding on the 2 of October not even a day after my last pill and I've been getting dizzy and lightheaded"


"After 6 days on this pill my family noticed a calmer me. I haven't experience any anxiety episodes but I have noticed I'm a bit foggy and forgetful. I'm sure it's going to take a while before my body gets used to the medication. For the most part I feel like it's doing a positive impact in my life. Also having a harder time to fall asleep hopefully that changes soon."


"I had the Mirena put in a little over 3 years ago after my second son was born. I loved it for a long time despite the fact that I couldn't lose weight. I didn't gain any weight but I couldn't lose weight regardless of what I did. I never had a period either which was great. For about a year though I have been extremely moody, I have anxiety, I got painful cystic acne on my face, neck, even on my head. I am recently experiencing bloating and cramping. I go to get my IUD taken out in a week."


"Over the past two years I have used the patch 6 times. Well after my most recent experience I am going to resort to Dramanine again.  Like others commenting here, I had many more side affects after using the patch on both ends of my trip.  Dizziness, tired and vision issues.  But my tipping point occurred 12 hours after applying this last patch.  My 3 hour flight was great. No problems.  I arrived home very late, slept for 3 hours and woke with the urge to pee 6 different times in 20 minutes.  There was blood in my urine.  And painful cramping.  THEN remembered to remove the patch.  I slept with no more symptoms and felt fine. "


"I started on 50mg daytime and 50mg at night. Had upset stomach with vomiting for a few days then that subsided. Eventually my dosage was increased to 100mg during the day and 100 mg at night. I had some life changing events occur and I was able to accept them and keep on track with life's daily trials and tribulations. It just helps keep your thoughts clear so that you can deal with life's challenges. The biggest side effect was that I wanted to sleep all the time. I decreased the dosage back down to 100 mg but I only take it once a day at 5:00pm. It wears off enough by 7:00am. Then I have motivation to do things throughout the day yet still remain somewhat calm and focused."


"Within 15 min, my headache is a subsiding , 1/2 hr gone....amazing with little or no side effects, well tolerated!!"


"I had triplets as a result of taking Clomid, they were all boys.  "


"I just finished my very first month of this. Going on it I was terrified that I was gonna gain weight. I'm 18, 5'3 and weigh 180. I have moderate acne and I haven't noticed it making me breakout anymore than my regular. Sometimes it helps. I will say I've been a bit moody but it's nothing out of my regular moodiness. I've read some reviews on here of people just slamming this birth control to the ground. You just have to control your eating a little bit.
Time to be a little honest.
I started this pill and the second week I was on it we started doing it without a condom. I'd say in the month span at less 15-20 times. He never finished inside me all but once (whoops) and aside from that I've been just fine. Never got pregnant. I'd recommend"


"I've tried every kind of muscle relaxer from A-Z out there and Soma is the only one that has worked for me. I take it twice a day with my pain meds and have had no side effects from it at all. I have spinal stenosis and suffer from pain all day every day and its so nice to have a little relief. "


"I also have had repetitive urinary tract infections (UTI) for years. Lots of antibiotics, a few weeks clear, and then another urinary tract infection. This was really getting me down as the symptoms were toxic and systemic, and made me quite ill. A urologist suggested Hiprex with vitamin C twice a day. I have not had a UTI since. I feel well for the first time in years and am so appreciative of the advice. That constant, low grade infection on my bladder made me 'old before my time'. Some days I just could not get off my bed. I am a different person now without those repetitive UTI's. I wish I had discovered Hiprex years ago."


"I've been using Nuvaring since 2007 and have been very happy with it. I've had no instances of it slipping out, and I can't feel it at all. I never really thought I was very acne prone when I started it. However, I had to go off of it due to insurance issues for 3 months and my acne EXPLODED like it never has before in my life. My hair was also super greasy at the same time. Once I got back on the ring, the acne and greasiness went away.
During the same time when I had the ring out, my sex drive was back in full force. I didn't really notice it was missing it before hand though! Light periods, no periods if you want. Weight gain? Not sure, I'm fat anyhow and am always kind of gaining!"


"First time mom, 8 mo. old baby. Liletta inserted on Oct 19th, it’s now Nov 14. Insertion was a VERY uncomfortable pinch, a lot of pressure in my stomach vs. where I thought I would feel It in my cervix. My Dr. had me cough during insertion which distracted me, BUT I realize the 4-6 ibuprofen I took before getting it made me feel less pain because when the meds wore off ...dear gawd...the discomfort and cramping was unbearable. Instantly regretted my decision and vowed to have it removed. I even went to the ER to have an ultrasound out of fear It was misplaced. The cramps, low back pain, discomfort and pain jumped from one ovary to the next made me miserable for about 4-5 days. Things got better but spotting since Oct 25 and weird smell."


"This drug saved my life.

It did not work for the first month and a half but when it did! Amazing results! No anxiety! And I suffered from panic attacks 24/7. Not saying this drug alone will fix all your problems but it helped me so so much! Gave me my excitement for life back"


"I've been on 50 mg Pristiq for 2 weeks now. As a 39 year old male with anger/depression issues, I've already seen a change in my behavior. I stay pretty mellow and let the small stuff roll (the things that used to make me really angry).  It's just starting to kick in so I still get angry but not near as much.  I've also lost 8 pounds in less than 2 weeks. Side effects have been mild headaches, loss of appetite, and the weight loss. I experienced night sweats and weird dreams only once."


"I have a constant headache with migraines  as well.  I use this when my headache gets really bad, and this brings it back to tolerable level and helps me sleep. I only use this as needed. Average less than 3 a week."


"To anyone who has used or will use Percocet, for the nausea have your doctor put you on a pill called Zofran this will help with the nausea, they give it to cancer patients for vomiting.

I am a huge believer in the mental help Percocet gives as well as the pain management. Had Gall bladder surgery in May 09 and after trying Vicodin, Oxycontin, Diluadid, Ultram, Percocet was the ONLY one that helped me with the pain. Eat before taking and drink plenty of fluids. This will cause severe constipation so a stool softener may be needed. Best medicine I have ever taken."


"very helpful for fibromyalgia"


"I'm 53 and have migraines since I'm 15. My doctor made me try a lot of medication over the years, including the Triptans and I had to go a couple of times to the hospital (urgency). Nothing worked until my doctor gave me Fiorinal. I'm using Fiorinal for 20 years now and it works fine. I have less migraines today."


"Had to go in for an upper endoscopy. Was super nervous, as this was my first procedure ever. They put me under with propofol, and then I woke up in recovery. Couldn't have gone any easier. Couldn't have been any simpler. Hope I can help some relax a little, it really wasn't anything to stress about. Wish I knew that 2 days ago. lol. Best of luck to all o/"


"Terrible side effects after taking 200mg.

I felt like I was hallucinating; going crazy feeling. Sinus areas inflamed almost immediately with headache. I'll never take this again."


"Hi. I felt like posting here because I saw multiple reviews by people who had taken Zoloft for a few days, or a few weeks, and had bad experiences. I wanted to say that, though everyone is different, it will take at least a month or two before you start to feel "better" on any Anxiety med. Also, probably starting with a small dose and working your way up after several weeks would be a good idea. My GP told me to take half a pill, then go to a full pill after a week, which is crazy, and I had just about every side effect and dizziness for the first month. The second time around with Zoloft, I took one fourth of my pill, and ramped up every four days. If you have side effects, know that this is normal, and you will feel better soon."


"moderate/severe RA, it's not recommended. Tried it though; very little help. Withdrawal is awful due to anxiety/depression. Its not stated but there must be an ingredient that is also used for antidepressants in xeljanz. Most other countries in the world refuse this drug. Just be careful. Ask for other options!"


"I have had Bipolar disorder for 20 years.  I have been on lamotrigine for 11 years.  Before this I was on lithium mainly.  I always take my medication and have had no side effects or weight gain with this medicine.  Together with CBT I have found it life-changing!  Feel awake and myself again!"


"On Tuesday evening I felt the familiar tingle/pain. By morning a tiny blister had started to form on my lower lip, on my way to work I picked up a tube (non-pump) of Abreva. I applied it liberally all day. Package says 5 times a day, but I probably doubled that. I rub a tiny amount into the skin and then gob on more that sat on top. I haven't had any bad side effects from using more than it says, but this is just my experience. It is now Friday afternoon, the blister has shrunk and still not popped. It's practically unnoticeable. I can feel that it's slightly raised and it's slightly pinker than the surrounding skin, but it's very slight. No pain at all. fingers crossed it will be gone soon! Hoping for 5 days tops."
