"I've been taking Zoloft for 6 months now...began at 25mg. and worked up to 75 mg.  I'm a person who hates being on medicines, so I tapered off to 50 mg and then tried to go back down to 25 mg.  Unfortunately the symptoms came back, racing pulse and anxiety.  I'm now back at 50 mg and feel even keel.  It has been humbling for me to admit that I need this medication and I dislike how it makes you feel dependent on it, but I also realize it is doing its job.  I have lost 5-10 pounds since starting it.  The first few weeks I was in a fog and suffered horrible headaches and nausea, but per my doctor's words those symptoms did subside.  I've not had a single panic attack since starting Zoloft.  "


"My son is 13 and was put on Focalin for his ADHD when he was about 7 years old. It did not make him a zombie at all. My ex=husband was very concerned that it would do what Ritalin did to him. Focalin for my son just calmed him down enough to do his class work . He was first just taking one in the mornings and then as he got older and got more class work to do we realized that it was not lasting him so he got put on a low does for in the afternoon. He grades improved so much and yet he still had a lot of energy to blow through."


"I'm tapering down from 100-200mg of hydrocodone per day to 20mg per day. Also, quit 20mg of Dilaudid per day. The first couple of days were hell. I finally called my doctor and told him what was going on. He prescribed me the Clonidine patch. It has helped me tremendously! The only side effect I have had is a little dizziness when I get up too fast. But I feel great and am on day 4 and down to 20mg of hydros and still feel good! Like I never started them. By the way, I have been on them for 4 years through pain management for severe diabetic neuropathy. I highly recommend this product."


"I LOVE my Nuva Ring! Have been on it nearly two years without a problem! As a teenager I was put on the pill, which caused me to have horrible side effects so I stopped using it. When I became active, I talked to my doctor and LOVE this option seeing as how I only have to worry about it once a month, not everyday. I have had no side effects with it. I have lost 15  pounds this year and it regulated my heavy, bi-weekly periods. It usually doesn't bother my partner, and if it is a nuisance, we take it out and replace immediately. I don't see myself EVER switching!"


"I'm very surprised at what this medication has done for me. I have been prescribed an SSRI multiple times but never took one because I was convinced my feelings of guilt and anxiety were appropriate reactions to my failures in life. I have lived a bohemian life chasing contentment and self respect. In a new relationship and questioned by my partner about my inconsolable sense of unhappiness, I realized I needed to try something other than running away so in a last ditch move, signed up for a depression study that has given me 6 mos of Zoloft medication. I have clarity now I haven't experienced in a decade, it is wonderful and sobering because I realize now how serious chemical depression is. Don't self medicate, it's OK to get help!"


"I have always experienced a "bruising" type sensation when the least amount of pressure is applied to my fleshy areas, especially my legs and arms.  I wrote this off as "just weird me". Additionally - I am extremely and overly TACTILE!  One tiny invisible seam on the neck of a clothing tag can completely THROW ME OVER THE EDGE until it's cut out, ripped out or simply trashed!  Same with sock seams...SOMETIMES EVERY INCH OF MY SKIN FELT BRUISED (which was not uncommon)- I did a simple Google search & FIBROMYALGIA popped up!  Every symptom: incl. traumatic childhood causing dopamine receptors to "warp"- WAS ME..My psych put me on CYCLOBENZAPRINE 10mg up to 2x day. I take 1 at bedtime & I am FINALLY ABLE TO SLEEP!!!"


"I had Hep C for over 30 years. I never really felt bad. I noticed my hair was falling out, getting thinner and my skin looked horrible.
I began an 8 week regime of Harvoni the day after Thanksgiving. I was so hesitant in fear of side effects.
I got up early and took that first giant pill. I waited, waited and waited for some sort of "sick" feeling? It never came, never!!
Each day I took my daily pill. Day by day I began to have more energy, increased positive thoughts.
As the last couple of weeks rolled around, my skin and hair had both taken on a new healthy youthful look.
My skin looks amazing, it's moist and my hair is thicker than it's been on over 35 years. My nails grow so strong and long, I am a new person! "


"The ONLY drug that has worked for my GERD"


"I have been on depo now for about two years and have had nothing but negative side effects. The only positive thing about depo provera is that you don't have to worry about missing a pill. I've suffered major headaches, weight gain, mood swings, hot flashes, irregular bleeding, cramping, breast pain, and change in sex drive. I thought this would be a great option for me because I wasn't always on top of taking birth control pills. After trying depo out for two years, I have finally decided that all these symptoms are NOT worth it. If you plan on getting the shot, do your research and know the symptoms that it comes with."


"I started Champix June 29th/15 and my stop smoking date was July 13....I actually had my last cigarette on July 9/15 and at that time I was down to 3 a day.   I just said NO to the cigarette on July 10/15 and I have been doing fine.   The first day on Champix was ok but had ONE livid dream the very first night and none after that. I did get the nausea feeling (sometimes quite strong) but instead of water with my pill I switched to juice and that worked alot better, only because the water was making me nausea.   I have not so far as of today Aug 3/15 had any of the BAD symptoms, and has not had a cigarette since July 9.  So far no cravings for cigs and actually I eat better and watch when I eat, I have lost taste for alot of junk food ."


"Not sure that the medication did much as my abscess burst the night I started the antibiotics. All I know is that by the 3rd and 4th day of antibiotics I was feeling generally unwell, had a headache and awful nausea."


"I switched from Levora/Portia.  It's my second month on this pill and I am really loving it!  Aside from some migraines, which I'm hoping they'll go away soon, no side effects.  No acne, my mood has improved, no weight gain (that I've noticed), and it works perfectly to prevent pregnancy.  Highly recommended!"


"Sinemet works great for my restless legs syndrome, even better than the drugs more popularly prescribed. It is absolutely the one medication I cannot live without!"


"Very helpful for muscle aches and pains.  Cannot function without it."


"I have been taking Vicodin for near 20 years now due to chronic pain in my lower back and chronic pain & burning in my shoulders from Factory work.I have been on six 7.5 Vicoprofens  for a few years now. That amount works fine if I just sit around all day. If I want to take long hikes, Lift or move furniture, do extensive house cleaning then 6 is NOT enough and I was using 7 or 8 a day. Doctor wanted me to try Morphine ER 15MGs..2 a day  and try to get down to 3 Vs a day. A month into this trial period and I'm not liking the Morphine ER (and I've tried 300MG Tramadols & Butrans Patches) The morphine just leaves me feeling  sleepy, it just takes the edge off and like so many other medicines ,I have FLU like symptoms. If I had 10 mg pills that would work."


"I help my 83 yo mother-in-law with her medical care.  She has been on opiates for over 25 years due to broken hips after a fall.  After several trips to the hospital a couple years ago for fecal dis-impaction, I began a desperate search for something that could help.  This medicine had just come out about 8 months earlier. I only wish someone had told me about it sooner.  It has been a life-saver for her.  Within about 15 minutes of her first shot, she had a huge bowel movement.  She's been taking it every other day for almost 2 years, and in that time, has had less than a handful of times when it didn't work.  This has truly been a blessing for us."


"Took zithromax (one single liquid dose) DID NOT WORK . Then 10 days later took it again DID NOT WORK. ***after seeing the reviews here, Took Doxycycline 200mg a day for 10 days – DID NOT WORK? Any suggestions?"


"I had Skyla inserted about 8 hours ago. After reading other reviews, I did not want to scare myself or go off of what other people said. It was probably the most painful thing I've ever experienced "down there" but i also have not had any children yet (which I know would hurt worse). I am still cramping very bad. Immediately after insertion, I had severe cramps, felt nauseous and light headed. I did not take any medication before insertion, I've read that taking Tylenol helped but did not have a chance to take it. I took some a couple hours ago and have laid down , but still am not getting relief. On the bright side, I will not have to worry about birth control methods for 3 years :)"


"I am 21 years old and was on cyclen for 3 months when I was diagnosed with blood clots in my lungs (pulmonary embolism) I have since been informed that this birth control put me at a greater risk due to its higher levels of estrogen. Luckily they were caught and time and I am currently being treated for them. My symptoms started out as a aching/stabbing pain in my mid/upper back that was worse when I ate, then a few days later my breathing started to feel rather heavy. I was also coughing and burping a bit. I also had a bunch of other side effects during the course of taking this pill including: breast pain, headaches, nausea and major mood swings!! I don't normally right reviews but I would feel horrible if this happened to anyone else!!"


"I was diagnosed with moderate to severe universal colitis on 3/27. I was prescribed lialda and take 4 pills a day as well as 1 uceris. I am not exaggerating when I say the relief was almost instant! Within 3 days I went from urgently using the bathroom 5 - 6 times a day with unbearable abdominal cramps to using the bathroom once a day with no cramps! Only side effects I have noticed so far is slight headaches, occasional trouble sleeping and more frequent urination which I will take over my colitis symptoms any day :) Lialda seriously has changed my life in the short 2 weeks I've been taking it

———————————————————
19 years old
Moderate to severe universal colitis
Flare started: May 2016
Diagnosed: March 2017
Remission: April 2017"


"I have been on this birth control for over 2 years and I would have to say that it has its down falls and has its goods. I did get pregnant one time and that was from when I had missed some pills. I don't have any cramps like I used to before I started taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo."


"I had stage 4 gliosarcoma in March and wasn't supposed to make it very long. After surgery, aggressive radiation and 3 rounds of 400mg Temidar (pardon the spelling), my first MRI showed the tumor was growing back. My oncologist put me on bi-monthly drips of Avastin to go with the Temidar. My second MRI showed a 30% decrease in the size of my tumor. My legs are weak, but I'll take it!! Thank God for Avastin and the oncologist. I am the first person I know of that was given Avastin for Gliosarcoma."


"I have been on Aviane for about a year and a half for dysmenorrhea, and it's great.  I get a bit moody/sad the day or two before my period, but that's the worst of it.  It's helped a LOT with cramps.  I get by on 2-4 Midol per month now!"


"I drank Readi-Cat (barium sulfate) for an abdominal CT scan. I gave it a nine only because of the taste. It was thick, and had the consistency of vegetable oil with a citrus flavor. I experienced some very mild heartburn and nausea while drinking it, but that went away very quickly. The following morning, I had one bout of diarrhea, which was listed as a side effect. Other than that, I didn't experience any of the listed possible side effects. Overall a much better experience than I was anticipating!"


"After years of High Blood Pressure and a series of medicines my awesome doctor prescribed Azor along with a diuretic and my blood pressure was 145/110 and now the average is 120/77.  A great medicine and I would tell everyone it is a great medicine. Thanks Dr. G."


"I woke up one morning with burning in my chest when I coughed, lots of mucous in my upper respiratory area, a headache, 101 fever and the mucous was even flowing out of my left eye. My Internist prescribed the Zpack. On day 3, the burning in my chest went away. But the side effects were severe. On day 3, I began to get massive night sweats. These sweats lasted 31 days after the last pill I took. My blood sugar level also rose to prediabetic levels. My glucose was tested at 115, then 108. My blood pressure and heart beat rocketed for well over a month before it subsided. I would say that my body did not respond very well to Zithromax. But the drug did what it was suppose to. I would never take this drug again unless I was forced to ."


"I was scared to take this after reading all the negative reviews but it wasn't half as bad as I had anticipated. It tastes like grape cough syrup. I sucked it through a straw to get past my taste buds. It started taking affect about 20 mins after ingestion. I used the restroom for the next 3 hours. Then went to sleep. No nausea, cramps. Just the urge to go. I did have a little leakage so I suggest sitting on a towel if you decide to lay in bed. I also didnt drink the whole bottle in 1 sitting. I broke it down into 2 parts for each bottle. I started at 4pm, took another dose at 6 pm, and repeated same process at 4 am with an 1130 am appt. Time. I did this to reduce any chances of nausea (I was thinking maybe the mass amount taken at once could be the cause for others having nausea) Im a 150 pound 29 year old female. I would recommend this product."


"I have been on Macrobid for 3 days now. I feel so nauseated. I'm so tired and I can't eat or drink anything, EXCEPT for a little water, without getting sick. It gives me a horrible headache and I feel so weak. I am also allergic to sulfa medications (Bactrim) so the doctor gave me this. "


"So far so good.  I have been using Dymista for 2 weeks & I can breathe out of both nostrils & I have a sense of smell again!  I used Nasonex for years & it worked well, but I seemed to build up a tolerance after awhile.  For the last couple of years I have been hooked on OTC nasal spray with horrible rebound congestion which required antibiotics & prednisone to kick. After this last round of antibiotics & prednisone & a change to Dymista. I can now breathe! I hope it continues.  I was even able to find a discount coupon online so I got it for $30."


"Oh my goodness I wish I had read these reviews first. I am in sooo much pain I want to go find a hotel with a bidet to flush it out.  The external cream is fine but the applicator and cream that is inserted is like a stabbing burning combo I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. WHY?!?"


"I have been on Zoloft for about 6 weeks. I was experiencing depression which manifested itself in crying spells, anger, helplessness and loss of motivation. It took approximately 4 weeks for me to notice any changes,  but I have noticed recently that I have motivation once again and I have not experienced any side effects which i was dreading such as loss of sexual desire and weight gain.  I feel like my normal self again and able now to handle the issues of my life  Prior to this I was sad a lot and having many crying bouts.  I haven't noticed any negative side effects whatsoever."


"Vertigo plus little nausea"


"Was on Atenolol 25mg, once a day, had bad leg cramping, some dizziness, it wasn't helping my palpitations then Cardiologist switched me to Bystolic 5mg I had again dizziness, vivid dreams and feeling fuzzy. Started Diltiazem 30mg 3 times a day as needed and I started with one a day and palpitations and accelerated heart are controlled, I only experienced fatigue, shortness of breath and sometimes nightmares but has helped me feel better though..."


"I'm taking this for strep throat 10 days 3x a dayat first it worked fine felt like it was helping now I'm almost done and these last few days have been awful I have bad heartburn it hurts from my stomach to my throat it burns my stomach hurts to move feels like bad gas and I'm throat hurts to swallow anything it's hard to drink"


"The Chantix program worked for me. I am 53 and was a one pack a day cigarette smoker. In August I asked my doctor for some ideas to quit and he prescribed the Chantix. I took it for five weeks and continued to smoke during the first of those weeks. It really helped suppress any urges and withdrawal pains. Also, I encountered no side effects. I was able to go about my business as usual. At the end of five weeks I felt like I could discontinue this so I did without feeling any need to smoke again. I've now been off of Chantix for three weeks and smoke-free for seven weeks. I'm glad I was able to quit and I'm confident that I'll never pick up cigarettes again."


"I have been on birth control for over 3 years.  I too was on Sprintec until they changed it to Tri-Previfem - didn't notice any changes with my body between the two.  The first month I started taking the pill was crazy, my emotions were uncontrollable (it was scary) and my skin was breaking out.  I don't like Tri-previfem but it does keep me from getting pregnant.  Skin still breaks out but I don't know if that's just me or the pill doing it.  I never really got period cramps/symptoms before the pill, now I do.  Periods are much lighter and shorter though.  My boobs grew about half a size.  No weight gain.  No libido either - my boyfriend hates it but the pill is the best way to avoid pregnancy.  Wouldn't recommend unless necessary."


"I had my first routine colonoscopy at 54. I am extremely sensitive to drugs of any kind. I did not feel a thing from the time the needles entered my arm. Found myself conscious of being a very dark, completely peaceful place. I was aware of that. I thought I was finally THERE and when the nurse started trying to rouse me, I was not coming back. Not happy to be bothered and so certain I didn't want to come back, I became aggressive to the nurse and as has happened before, began to cry hysterically. There were staff around me but I couldn't see them. My friend later told me they did not know what to do and had not seen this reaction before. So I was in recover quite a while, unable to come out of it."


"Diagnosed 3yrs ago, participated in Strattera study, did not help at all. Finally started Adderall 20mg XR two days ago. Main difference is the absence of fatigue and quieted mind. I can actually sit and not have to argue with myself, overwhelming feelings gone for the most part. Insomnia straight away first night, hardly any sleep again last (2nd) night, underlying headache now. Definite loss of appetite, appreciate the lost lbs but still have to eat!"


"I am a male in his late twenties and have struggled with mild acne for over 15 years. I have used, benzo proxide, exfoliants, tea tree oil, low GI diet, no skin touching and many other tools without consistent success. I have been using Aczone for 10 days and have had amazing results. I have had very few new spots appear on my face and when they do only last for 2-3 days. My pores felt clogged after application the first few days, but have adjusted to the texture. The anti-inflammation really reduced the redness in my face and gives me a nice even tone. Azcone has clearly made an impact on me having clear skin. I’ll follow up with status updates as my skin progresses."


"Very good, very fast."


"I obtained excellent results 90 minutes after my first dose.  I had been experiencing acute joint pain in the foot and ankle area at fairly regular intervals for two or three years and my research lead to me to suspect gout.  I called my Dr. during the most recent episode and shared my suspicions and I received marked relief in fairly short order.  I have been somewhat hesitant to take anything other than my blood pressure meds since pre- and post-op bilateral THR in 2007 and 2009.  I had been taking serious pain relievers for an extended period of time and did not and do not wish to resume the taking of heavy-duty pain medication but I am extremely thankful for the relief that has been afforded me.  I am sixty."


"This has been a life saver! Totally changed my life. I have tried SSRI many kinds to deal with my MDD with horrible side effects/ only slight headaches with wellbutrin;) I am very pleased with the results.  It's been almost 2 months no sludge on the  brain!!! THANK YOU!! I am GRATEFUL!!"


"I was crying over the weirdest things and didn't want to get out of bed. Then I started taking Zoloft 50mg daily, a month ago. I felt relief an hour after taking it. The side effects for me were stomach upset, decrease in appetite, and sleepiness. That only lasted a week. After three weeks I increased the dose to 100mg which my doctor suggested in the beginning. I have been on many different antidepressants since I was a teenager and this is the first one that I feel "normal" on. I don't feel emotionless or stay on a fake happiness high. I feel relieved and can deal with the day to day stresses."


"I take Invega, 12mg/day, and it helps a lot with my difficulty concentrating and the depression. I'm actually able to live a normal life with it. Unfortunately, it does not help with the hallucinations at all. So my doctor decided to try adding Geodon. It made me have seizures and made the hallucinations much, much worse. They went from happening for a minute or so at a time, a couple of times an hour to being constant. I only took it for three days. Two days after I stopped taking it, I was back to normal. The whole experience was miserable. "


"Dr. said I  had cellulitus on my left ankle & foot. It was also very swollen and painful. I was very happy with taking Levaquin. It took the pain & swelling completely away and I didn't experience no side effects. I've had this flare up 2 more times & this is the only medication that has helped me. It is very exspensive, but other than that I'm very pleased."


"Best of the ones I've tried for leg pain from spinal injury."


"Today is my 3rd day on medication. I was prescribed it for social anxiety (despite being a beautiful 6'2 male with no reason to be anxious about appearance) generalized anxiety and panic attacks. Talking to people in malls, convenience stores and being around large groups of people frighten me. I havent noticed much of a difference other than lack of sleep, crazy amazing lucid dreams for the first two nights and my jaw clenching. So far no effect on anxiety and took a benzo because Im feeling restless but still feeling restless right now. I pray this works as Im unable to work now due to my anxiety. Ive always had anxiety but after having mono for 2 months it has spiraled completely out of control. I will update this soon. Please work!"


"I have been taking Paxil since December of 2015. I started out on 10mg, which didn't do much for me, and then my doctor increased it to 20mg, which still was not enough to cease my anxiety. I have been taking 30mg of Paxil for about 4 months now and it has been great. My mood is extremely better and all of my friends and family notice a huge change. I'm a more pleasant person to be around, I don't have panic/anxiety attacks anymore, and I am able to do things that my anxiety didn't allow me to do before.  However, when I first started taking Paxil, it gave me a lot of headaches, but they went away as I got used to it. Also, I have been having night sweats and it is hard for me to sleep sometimes, but other than that it is a great medication"


"I started developing an outbreak of rashes all over my body about two years ago. Since then my GP has prescribed the usual antihistamine cetirizine and hydroxyzine.  I noticed my rashes didn't subside totally after I took them both, but when I was prescribed Xyzal, I noticed it lowered the inflammation of my skin and the itchiness level was greatly reduced too. Since then I have been taking Xyzal together with Atarax and I find it to be quite effective as a combination. I have been taking Xyzal on a daily basis ever since.

My rashes come back sometimes, but I have no choice since there are no newer antihistamine other then Xyzal.  My doctor has never prescribed me Allegra."


"My 83 year old father used this for two days and had a very bad allergic reaction to it.  Shivering uncontrolled, and coughing.  I made him stop using it. "


Citric acid / magnesium oxide / sodium picosulfate

"As a colon cancer patient, I have had colonoscopies every 6 months for years.  As an old pro, I must say that I have NEVER experienced anything remotely as totally ineffective as this supposed preparation.  As a result, I must reschedule for after the first of the year and pay my full medical deductible immediately, rather than no cost because deductible is already met for this year.  My husband will be docked pay for taking off to drive me.  I will have to take another week off blood thinner.  And I feel nauseated, bloated, and angry.  Shame on prepopik for taking good folks' money with false claims!"


"Relpax is a great migraine medicine, I have tried ibuprofen 800mg, Elavil, Maxalt, Imitrex, Midrin and countless others. Relpax stops the migraine quickly but it is ridiculously expensive, even with my copay it is $119.00 for 12. I still have a couple left from samples but I can't wait for a generic brand!"


"I started originally on Tri-Sprintec but after a few days I couldn't handle the cramps, bloating and spotting all the time. I call my doctor and she prescribed Apri. After seeing all the reviews I felt that this was a better choice then the Tri-Sprintec pill. Since Apri had better reviews then Tri, everyone's body is different but So far it  has worked great no side effect's I LOVE IT."


"This worked well for my anxiety attacks"


"I suffered with severe anxiety, especially in social situations. I think mine was linked to coming off my pill and my hormones going crazy. I tried sertraline for two days and felt horrid - flu like symptoms, depression, nausea, fatigue! I then tried venlafaxine and after two weeks my anxiety had gone. It came back around the time of the month but this medicine has truly fixed me. I understand that different medicines work for different people but this saved my life."


"My Experience were constant weight gain migraines very bad abdominal pain mood swings and heavy periods and bad cramps. i do not recommended this for anyone and would give 0 stars if i could."


"Caused constipation, but the medicine has definitely increased the quality of life. I have been on it for 6 months and it is as good today as that first couple weeks."


"Back in October 4 , 2015 I had my first severe panic attack I thought I was going to die. I couldn't go to the store and be in line at the cash register and couldn't even drive. My quality of life was really bad at that point. I remember thinking I can't take care of my kids can't even do the things I used to do like go to the park go buy groceries even go to my kids school events I felt horrible. I told my Doctor what has happening I got prescribed paroxetine 20 mg. It saved my life. I know it takes time be patient it's worth it."


"I've been on this bc for almost 3 years. The first year was awesome,  no side effects that I can think of. Now I've experienced every thing from headaches to dizziness to weight gain. Have tried everything to loss the weight but can't.  And my moodiness is through the roof. I'm sure that some people have no side effects but I did. Am making an appointment to get it removed."


"Evening,

I have been on this medication since I was 12 years of age.

Why do doctors or neurologists NOT tell you about Epilepsy?  About the Half Life of Phenytoin, about Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP)?  Those who have Epilepsy do not necessarily know or at all ANYTHING about that cause people in general think you are WEIRD.  SICK?"


"I have been on Quetiapine 50mg for I don't know how long but my sleep lasted 3hrs. Then I would wake up and sleep the rest of the night. I was very tired and depressed all the time, very unhappy. About 5 days ago my psych. put me on 100mg. Now I sleep all night it feels like I'm in another world. I have not seen anymore hunger. I won't know about weight gain for a while."

"Second birth control I've been on, and I've been on it for over a year. It gives me the worst headaches and acne. I put on about 10lbs and CANNOT get rid of it. I feel disgusting. My boobs didn't get any bigger. My periods are always right on schedule and never heavy but the rest of the month is a roller coaster with my emotions, weight, etc."


"Took Chantix for one month and quit smoking after smoking for 32 years. Had no side effects. stopped smoking on 3rd week an stopped taking Chantix after 4th week. Been smoke free for 3 months.  My insurance didn't pay for Chantix but it was worth every penny."


"I started taking Klonopin recently, and I'm mixing it with Vybriid and Lamictal. It helps so much. At night it takes the edge off. I take 0.5mg, sometimes 1mg to help me out more. I haven't had as bad of racing thoughts while I'm trying to fall asleep and I end up sleeping like a baby. The after effects is a little bit of groggyness but it's worth it. The only thing that bothers me is that I feel like smoking cigarettes after I take it. Overall, it's great and stops the mania as well as depression."


"Hot sweats were the thing most mentioned and most noticeable. My apologies for lack of empathy to all those who I've known going through them.
Muscle mass loss and decreased exercise tolerance.  My total weight lifted in a usual work out fell to about 1/3.
Dry scaling skin and increased dry hair. However, my creeping male pattern baldness was certainly less noticeable.
Testicular size and libido took a hit."


"As someone who uses Zyrtec as one of 2 primary treatments (The other being Benadryl.) I can vouch that Zyrtec gets the job done as described. 24 hours of itch free and low-drowsiness is very suitable for me. If you are someone having withdrawals from Zyrtec then you don't take it right. It only occurs when your body needs the Zyrtec in order for your brain to be chemically balanced. This usually occurs if you take it based on a schedule rather then when you notice your real symptoms.
If you listen to your doctor and/or the label, then you will be like me as someone who is happy to be symptom free."


"I'm a 45 yr old female, 5'6" tall, and my starting weight was 220 when I weighed in at the doctor's office on August 31st. I have some health concerns that lead my doctor to prescribe this for me. My doctor helped to administer the first dose so I would know what to do the next day.
I felt okay the first 2 days with little side effects. The 3rd day I couldn't stand the smell of bacon. Who doesn't like the smell of bacon? This girl now! The 4th day I threw up my morning coffee and meds. I have been experiencing constipation as well. I am currently on 1.2mg and on day 9. I've lost 5 lbs so far so I'll keep dealing with the side effects. I did start to inject at night to help with the nausea. I am very hopeful this medication will do the job!"


"So far so good. Im on my 2nd day. NO side effects..that I am aware of. I did sleep a little harder last night..lol. I just found this and read some of the other reviews, but I honestly haven't noticed anything real abnormal. This is my 1st time taking it. I am usually given bactrim for uti's because I am highly allergic to penicillin. I usually dont have fever or severe pain with a uti, but I think I have had one for a while now due to other uti symptoms. So i dont think bactrim has been working. I do not have a regular doctor (cant afford it), and I feel awful having to constantly go to the ER...only to end up STILL having a UTI. I just hope this finally gets rid of it. Im tired of spending $$ on antibiotics only for it to not work."


"Everyone is different, but I have LOVED this! I haven't experienced any side effects, except now when I start to get my period, my breasts hurt a little bit it goes away once I start. My period has lightened, my acne has cleared up, and I haven't gotten pregnant, so, I recommend this!"


"Ritalin LA: I have taken this (10mg) along with "normal" release methylphenidate/Ritalin to treat narcolepsy for about 4 years.  The LA does not give me the jittery feeling of the short acting Ritalin.  I only supplement the LA with the short acting because the LA keeps me awake (or at least doesn't offer restful sleep) for about 8 hours, while the short acting version lasts about 4 hours.  Without these medications, particularly Ritalin LA, I would not be able to maintain any job that requires its employees to stay awake...which is pretty much all of them!  The only downside is the excessive cost.  Without insurance, about 10% of my gross salary would go to pay for this ONE prescription."


"I struggled with intense pain and bleeding due to a fissure for several months. Assuming it was hemmorhoids, I tried multiple over the counter medicines, but nothing worked. My OB/Gyn was the one who realized it was a fissure and prescribed Rectiv. The headaches were rough at first, and I almost quit using the ointment because of them. I'm so glad I didn't, though. Within one week, the headaches were gone, and my fissure symptoms were calming down. By week two, I was totally back to normal--no pain, no bleeding. I continued using it for another week, just to be sure I was completely healed. I've been off it for two weeks now, and I'm still symptom-free. I can't sing the praises of this medicine enough!!"


"I am 24 years old no kids. I don't want kids for a very long time so I am taking control. My doctor was pushing for the mirena says its the best option and gives you light periods or none at all but I refuse to deal with hormones anymore. I pushed for the paraguard because this will be my last try with BC. Have tried pills (the worse ever) , the implant and nuvaring all bad side effects. After reading dramatic reviews from women I expected the worse pain ever. The whole process took maybe 10 minutes and did not hurt me at all my doctor numbed my cervix I did get super high from it but it was so funny my doctor distracted me having me use my phone and I couldn't believe it was over. with a great doctor insertion should NOT hurt."


"Fantastic. I quit smoking after over 20 years."


"I just got my Mirena and could not be happier.

I was apprehensive of the pain due to horror stories that seem to be everywhere. DO NOT BELIEVE THE FEAR!

First of all, I have a male gynaecologist. If you're unsure about a male, have no fear! Mine was amazing and spoke frankly but honestly and really comforted me. I had been advised to take 15mg of Murelax and some ibprofen. Although I had taken the Murelax as directed (1 hour prior) my nerves were still extremely high. My gynaecologist, he said he would administer a local anaesthetic to my cervix. This really spiked my anxiety.

The ENTIRE procedure was done in about 3 minutes. It was really a 2/10 "pain" and more discomfort. I've had appendicitis & the implanon. This was a walk in the park!"


"I started the patch a month ago I am still bleeding non stop really bad cramps , started having bad mood swings and it makes me wanna eat all day. I was on the depo shot before the patch I loved the shot way better.. I been off depo for a year and a half before I got on anything else my period just finally became normal but  they suggested the patch as a birth control cause I wasn't on anything .. but so far I absolutely hate it."


"I am having good success with the treatment also, with no harmful effects. I have a little difficulty swallowing pills. One time I let the pill touch my tongue for a second and it tasted bad. After, I had bad taste in my mouth for a week! Finally, it went away. Now I always take it with food. Since then, no problem. Sometimes I put it in a teaspoon of jam and it goes right down."


"I was in a marked crosswalk when a person ran the Red Light & T-Boned me, pushing me into on-coming traffic, right in front of 2 Portland Police cars.
I was knocked out for two days in ICU.
When I woke up, I found that I could not use my Left Hand, and I WAS Left Handed.
I had other injuries too, but after being Left Handed for 60 yrs, and 32 of those years I was a Computer Designer.
After about a year of tests and 2 failed operations, none of the doctors could fix the nerve damage to my hand.
I had to retire from work. Learning only the basic skills with my right hand, which was also damaged. I became very depressed. I am now up to 80MG a day, and it has helped me a lot.
I am also on 20MG of oxycodone every 4 hours for constant pain."


"I have been taking Ritalin for my narcolepsy for almost three years now. It helps significantly and without it, I don't think I would be able to work or function. However, my dosage has needed to be increased as it seems my body is getting used to it. It's also a great alternative to Provigil because it does not interact with birth control pills as Provigil does."


"I thought it was pretty awesome stuff, but thanks to 6
(out of 4000) old, broken down, lifetime smokers it's no longer with us. When I found out Pfizer stopped making it, it was like a little piece of me died. Now I get to stab myself a few times a day to stay alive. Such fun. 6 out of 4000! Really? 0.15%? What a shame. % of Americans with lung cancer in 2008 was 7.3%."


"Helped with RA  It has affected my vision immensely.  So much, that I stopped taking it."


"I had terrible gastrointestinal issues with Sertraline and Lexapro, SSRI's, causing me more anxiety then helping.  Trazodone does not impact my stomach, and I sleep really well on it, as I was having terrible night time panic attacks, those are gone and stomach is stable."


"Let's start with the fact that l just cried for 20 minutes bc of the acne this pill has given me. I've been on it for exactly 2 weeks and never seen a pimple in my life. Suddenly my entire forhead is covered in pimples. I was put on this pill because I got my period every 5 days and it lasted for 6-11 days. No blood or spotting since l went on the pill which is a miracle for me! But I am still pretty upset about my skin."


"Have been on Genvoya 3.5 months. VL has dropped from 293000 to 78; CD4 is unchanged at 153.
There initially were no discernible side-affects. But have noticed problems with remembering things and forgetting words and really strange dreams. I am also on Welbutrin which apparently can also affect dreams. My kidney function has declined as well and I will  see a nephrologist this week. Am also on a diuretic for blood pressure which can also affect kidneys. So, we'll see."


"This is the worst! I have taken Desogen and Apri, but switched to Enskyce a few months ago when it was cheaper and it was supposed to be the same. But enskyce has made me bloated, retain water (take diuretics for this) and I had breakthrough bleeding at all different times of the month. Can't wait to finish off these last packs and swtich to something I like again, even if it costs more. Don't get Enskyce!"


"Having been prescribed citalopram, sertraline and diazepam in the past, I was sceptical that this would work. It's very early days, but it does seem to have a very calming effect. Main downside is I am very sleepy so would advise taking it at bedtime."


"No noticeable side effects."


"I started this pill when my son was 3 months old (he is now 18 months old). About 6 months ago I stopped taking the pill and 3 months later I started it again. I had never had any problems with the pill before this but after stopping/starting the pill my hair started falling out. I have been to my OBGYN about it (who has taken me off of the pill), to my primary care physician, and to a dermatologist. All 3 doctors say there really isn't anything they can do about the hair loss. It's been about 5 months of hair loss and I am to the point my husband last night noticed my hair line is receding and I've lost about 70% of my hair. I am devastated, embarrassed, and scared! I have read devastating hair loss can happen with this pill!"


"I've been using Microgestin 1/20 now for 2 weeks, I'm going into my 3rd. At first I noticed that my breast were very sore but within the past couple of days I haven't noticed it as much. I also know that I have one week left of this pack and I've already started my period, as well as the cramping.  And I haven't been as hungry as usual.  I can live with all of these "side effects" as I guess you would call it.  But the one that I haven't gotten used to which happens to be the worst one for me and that is dizziness.  Its not an everyday thing but its happened twice now in 2 weeks, twice in a week. The first time it lasted for most of the day, the second time it was just in the morning.  I have a doctors appointment at the end of this week so we'll see."


"I have used Amerge for years for migraines and it has been great."


"I have acute panic disorder. I was on SSRI's for a while but they did not work for me to stop the attacks. My doctor decided to put me on Lorazapem. It did stop my panic attacks very well and I started to feel good for a while, I was taking 0.5mg every day. About a year after I had developed a faster heart rate during my panic attacks and I started seeing my pulse pounding on my neck.  I still used it and thought that it was probably a new health condition. After going to several cardiac test, nothing was found wrong with my heart.
I read a message at a discussion board one day.
Ativan may cause rapid heart rate, a pounding pulse on the neck and chest. I stopped taking it and switched to Xanax. All my symptoms went away."


"I have just weaned off Cymbalta and started Savella about 3 weeks ago. Be careful of your judgements on side effects of Savella.  Many of us are being weaned off medicines like Cymbalta and others and these can be causing the side effects. Coming off Cymbalta can cause dizziness, feeling "weird" and many others.  Before you write off Savella, make sure your side effects are not withdrawal from other medicines.  I have found if I take Savella on an empty stomach, I am nauseated, so take with food. I also have moved the second dose of the day to 2 pm and that helped decrease the insomnia.  I have more energy than before, but find I am a bit edgy at times and this is fading. Smaller doses may help side effects. Insurance should cover-ask for appeal if denied."


"Since starting latuda at 20mg a day and now up to 120mg a day. My life has more balance and no depression. My only concern is my psychosis is still the same but my hallucinations have dropped off."


"Ladies do not do what I did and read all these reviews and freak yourself out! When I got my iud placed they gave me a pill to help open up my cervix so it would be less painful. I was so terrified to get it done due to the horrifying reviews. I finally got up the courage to finally have the doctor do it. Ladies it was nothing! They put the clamp on my cervix which didn't feel great but it wasn't ungodly painful. The actual insertion took like 30 seconds and then it was done. I felt a cramp but not worse than the ones I get before I'm about to start. After it was done I had mild cramping for an hour then nothing. I also had no spotting at all. Please remember pain is subjective and don't let a terrible review stop you from getting it."


"After several years of regular constipation and laxative use my doctor prescribed Amitiza. I took it at 6 and by 10:30 it was working. I've been taking 24mg twice daily but I think I'll cut back to only once a day because sometimes I'm nervous about leaving my house. It works too well and very fast. "


"I have been taking Simcor for almost a year. It did wonders for my high cholesterol but caused significant hair thinning, so I stopped taking it. I know this caused it because it was the only thing I was taking and my doctor agrees with me.  He said it is a side effect of cholesterol medicines with some people. I would rather have my hair than low cholesterol. It is a gradual loss that takes a few months to show up. Afraid to try any other brands for fear they will do the same thing."


"IT WORKS! I took tindamax 2 day dosing, 4 pills on the first day, 4 pills the second day and yes it made me very sick. I was sleepy fatigue nausea headache, it was horrible, and that metal taste is totally disgusting it made everything taste nasty for 4 days, but  medication started working immediately within hours after me taking the first dose. My advice to you is if you are prescribed this medication you may want to take time off of work just so that you can deal with your symptoms."


"I just started Zoloft 3 days ago and am encouraged by those of you who say the drowiness goes away after a while. I am on the one week prior to my period regime, due to PMDD. It is amazing already how calm and patient I am with my kids and husband. I had been on other meds in the past for depression, but hadn't taken anything in a few years. I have to say for the last post, the Yaz can make you depressed and gain weight. I would have just done the Zoloft. Loving the Zoloft. Excited to see how I feel when the side effects go away."


"So I'm on my second week with Mirena. I'm 26 and have never had a child, so insertion was horrible. I consider myself to have a pretty high pain tolerance, but this sent me for a loop. I got dizzy and clammy and almost passed out. Thankfully my best friend was with me and was able to talk me through it and drive my ass around for the day. The after cramps weren't unbearable, but still very uncomfortable. I only spotted for a few days afterwards. Last week was a breeze. I had no problems at all. Last night I started feeling cramping, like I was dreaming and could feel them in my dreams. I woke up this morning and the cramps were super intense. I got to work and too about 1,000 mg of ibuprofen because they were bad."


"After having my first child, I decided to try a long-term method of birth control. I was open to the IUD but very scared about the insertion. I went to planned parenthood and loved their customer service. They gave me pain medicine before insertion which I was VERY happy about! I felt only a little pressure when the nurse inserted it and no pain at all afterwards. It has now been almost 5 months since the insertion and I have yet to get a period. Do not know what to expect but am so far very pleased with my decision! Would definitely recommend!
STOP reading reviews! I did and I got super scared and almost didn't go through with it. Every body is different but recommend you carry pain meds w you if worried about pain during procedure"


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


"Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 32, apparently the sweet spot for diagnosis. Started taking Avonex about 10 years ago and welcomed the Pen, haven't had any MS symptoms for over 3 years. Still get 'flu like symptoms'. I take extra strength Ibuprofen before injection and it helps to make life easier to handle."


"I'm just starting week two of the 15 day trial.  I'm down 5 lbs which to me is good, since I had two days I was up slightly, (dang those margaritas).  but I figured on those two days, there would not be any change or a slight increase just because I was eating differently.  I'm thankful that I haven't had the headaches, or dizziness.  I have been extremely tired and hoping that this will soon pass. I have noticed that I do eat a lot less then I usually would and I crave fruits and veggies.  Hoping to stay on track better this week, but I'm loving it so far :)"


"I've taken Methadone for 20 months now for chronic pain due to fibromyalgia, neuralgia, back and neck pain and migraines. This has helped me incredibly well. I've been able to function and gain my life back again! The only drawback is some weight gain...not a lot though...about 15 pounds over the time span, which is not a bad trade-off for crippling chronic pain. Although there is a stigma connected to methadone users it's worth it to finally be nearly pain free and be living again!"


"I took 2 of the pink 500mg pills. I had 2 slices of pizzas about 2 hours prior to taking the medication and I washed them down with iced tea. Right before work, I ate again, chicken nuggets from Burger King. I felt fine until about 4 hours later when this intense wave of nausea came over me while I was working. I also felt very hot. This continued on for the rest of the night. Today, I feel better, just a little abdominal cramping, but nothing that interferes with my day to day activities. For me, the medication wasn't a bad experience. Just a  low price to pay for not using a condom."


"So I've been dealing with some itchy on the putter parts of my lady parts, but it wasn't until today that I noticed it was actually a yeast infection. So I went to the drug store and got me the generic, and instantly felt the worst itch of my life!!!! Yeast infections itch pretty damn bad, but nothing compared to this itch!!!!! Holy smokes!!!! I've probably have had it in for 20 mins now and it is just the worst!!!! I have only had a yeast infection one other time and my doctor prescribed me some prescription yeast infection cream. It never ever itched or felt this way! I never felt it, at all. Reading everyone's lets me know I'm not alone, but I can honestly say I wish I had the burn because maybe then it would take my mind off this itch!!"


"I was involved in a car accident half a year ago and misaligned my spine.  I was initially on 5mg oxycodone.  The 5mg's were weak but seemed to hit quicker, about 20 mins.  The 7.5/325 seems to do the trick;  each morning is hell but the oxy/acetaminophen works in about 40 mins and numbs most of my pain. Left slightly lightheaded but not shy compared to the pain is was in.  I would recommend this medication to others."


"I was on day 2 of feeling flu symptoms, I went to the doctor and they prescribed Tamiflu for me. After just taking 3 doses, I feel so much better. I didn't have any nausea."


"I discovered my new status in July 2017 VL 94K and CD4 126. After 4 weeks I had blood work again and I got an awesome results VL 85 and CD4 360. Hopefully I will be undetectable in my next check.
I haven't gotten any symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headaches etc. This medicine has been working greatly into my body."


"It keeps my migraines from blowing out into a severe migraines, but it takes close to an hour to kick in and when it does I feel extremely sick, very fatigued for two hours after.  Then I have just a mild headache, but I feel like I have a hang over and become forgetful and weak.  It is definitely a trade off, but as severe as my migraine can get, I'll take with this until I find another type of medication."


"I've only been on paxil for 8 days but my side effects are minimal.  I started on 5 mg and am moving to 10mg today.  Fingers crossed that this works.  So far this has been the best in minimal side effects compared to others I have taken"


"I have had debilitating migraines for over 25 years. I have tried EVERY type of migraine medication- hoping each time the new one would work- and would be so frustrated  every time. I previously thought my migraines were hormone related, but have now realized they are also caused by changes in the weather/ air pressure. My neurologist has tried many medications, and finally Cambia! Cambia is by far the best thing I have used- If I can take it as soon as I feel the migraine coming on, it works great! I have been taking it for 6 months, and only a couple of times it didn't work. I also started taking 400mg of magnesium glycinate every day and I feel it has also helped in migraine prevention. Hope this helps others as much as it has helped me!"


"Just started the 15mg dose taken as 6 X 2.5mg tablets. 1st week taking them I had explosive diarrhea after 1 hour of taking medication. I hoped it was coincidence. 1 week later I am already seeing an improvement in my psariosis. I took the dosage this week on an empty stomach and with in an hour stomach cramps and diarrhea. I am going to stick with it until my appointment with dermatologist when I will ask for injections instead. I did have very mild nausea and a slightly fuzzy head after. I will keep u all updated"


"I have been on xanaflex 4mg 3x a day that I take at night ti help me sleep. It helps the muscle spasms in my legs and allows me to sleep. The only problem I have is that it only lasts 4 hours and then I wake up. Works best if you take thr xanaflex, wait 30 minutes and then eat something and the xanaflex will work that much better."


"I wrote a review on January 22nd saying that I'll give this pill three more months. Well I didn't even last a full month. I was getting HUGE cystic acne everywhere but my cheeks. It hurt so bad it made me cry. After getting off the pill, which was no problem except a heavy mood swing, I've felt happier. I guess I was feeling depressed on the pill and didn't even recognize it because my life was very stressful at the time of starting it. My acne has gone away except for a few small pimples before my period. I will never go back to this pill. I am not currently on birth control but plan to be back on within the next year."


"The only reason why I wouldn't give this birth control a 10 is because it started to give me recurring and unbearable BV that I could not stand to deal with. Everything else was perfect! Might have had my period a few extra days but my flow was lighter-normal, no acne, no mood swing, no bloat. I did get slightly stronger cramps but that was fine."


"I was diagnosed with ADD at 21, as a junior in college. Before Adderall, I was an average student. I had a short attention span and difficulty efficiently completing tasks. The first time I took it, I read long passages and retained all the information. I actually follow my professors in-class. I didn't dread studying anymore; I actually kind of enjoyed it! I couldn't believe it. Within 2 semesters, my GPA has gone from a 3.1 to a 3.5.
There are only a few downsides that come to mind. First, I have trouble falling asleep at night. Next, I get irritated when studying/tasks are interrupted. Also, coming off of it, I feel extremely tired for at least 3 or 4 days."


"I like it"


"Just started Phentermine, I weight 284lbs!! I am 28 years old. This is the heaviest I have ever weighed. I want my life back in control and I want to feel beautiful again! Wish me luck!!"


"My pain management doctor switched me to this medicine 2 days ago. It's a miracle. I have been on everything. I was taking Oxycontin 80mg 2 x per day along with 30mg oxycodone every 4 hrs for breakthrough pain. I felt the difference within hrs. I suffer chronic pain due to my back. I've had 5 spinal fusion surgeries. "


"I'm 34 and have had restless legs since I was a child. It's the most irritating thing. I do not get a good night's because of it and I practically always wake up in a bad mood. My doctor prescribed requip (generic) and was specific to tell me to gradually up the dose.  I started with .25 mg last night and will again tonight, then .50 for the next week and another slight increase. I'm hoping that's what will help me avoid the sickness. Because once I read some of the reviews, I was pretty scared to take it. So...I took it last night and I slept better than I have in a long time. I could literally feel my body relax and I barely moved all night, which never happens! I woke up in a good mood, well rested and not groggy!  I'm so thrilled!"

"Well I have had the implant for a little over 2 months. I have been bleeding 6 out of the 9 weeks I have been on this. I got the implant because of my endometriosis and heavy painful bleeding. The second month I was cramping for 5 days before I even started my period and today marks the 26th day I have been spotting and bleeding.  Right now I'm frustrated because I have become anemic and I'm tired of bleeding and cramping."


"You'll almost always notice a medicinal smell in your urine when you use the nasal (orange) form of Mucinex. The drug it contains is processed through the kidneys and it doesn't all get metabolized, especially the extended release tablets. It tends to make me a bit woozy as well, but at least I can breathe!"


"Had it for years and love it. Changed it out after not having a period for years and boy it was painful. My first Mirena was nearly painless - just a little tuck. This time it stabbed me hard a few times (quite painful)  but each time it was over in seconds. I had menstrual cramps for an hour and that was it. I didn't even get my bleeding back (just a little right afterwards). Yeah! May advice:
 if you choose the Mirena be patient - the first year I constantly bleed off and on but then my period disappeared. Find a doctor who has done this a lot - I believe experience is the key! Also - have it done when your cervix is dilated during your period. I took Misoprostol for that the night before but that did not help."


"Panic Disorder/Bipolar/Manic Depressive: Today will be my 7th Dose, I am having a love hate relationship with my Paxil, it made me EXTREMELY tired for the first 4 days, headaches on day 4 & 5, Dizziness day 2-7. I feel spaced out & every morning I wake up & want to stop taking the meds because of how I feel. I am not like "myself" BUT, I didnt like myself to begin with, I suffered from panic attacks that last for days on end with only relief from Xanax. I would have anger outbursts towards the ones I love the most. Now, although my world feels off balance, I have noticed less anger and more smiling. I am going to stick with it for another week, even though I know tomorrow I will want to stop again. Just hope side effects lessen."


"So far this drug has saved my life. After experiencing a traumatic experience I spiralled into a heavy depression coupled with anxiety. It's only been one week and I'm no longer crying daily and the hopeless feeling is subsiding. It's also helped stopped the obsessive thoughts I've been having about the traumatic event."


"Took 2 weeks to feel a bit better.  Stick with it through side effects. I take 62.5 mg in the morning and 25 mg in evening now.  After 5 months I feel pretty good."


"I had a UTI with a MRSA on my face. I was given the drug for both. First mistake I went to FL and was under sun exposure which I didn't know is dangerous. Was ok with acidophilis too. Day 8 of Bactrim I developed vaginal bleeding but made no connection.  Day 9 I stopped it. And day 10 I was blown up in hives, severe body rash, terrible chill w hi fever and a severe migraine attack. I was livid. They scared me to death. I felt I was dying. I was on Benadryl for 24 hours and started getting better. But the next day the MRSA WAS BACK. I nearly lost it! Obviously It was a terrible allergic reaction but my dr was hesitant as it occured after day 9 as opposed to his textbooks of day 2 or 3. As of now  The bleeding has only subsided.Its 10 days since"


"been on it for 5 months, its awkward not having my period at all, but it's awesome to not be pregnant again. No issues so far, im happy that I don't even have to think about the implant, it's just there. perfect FOR ME."


"Takes time to come up, this is a problem when you have a panic attack, suicidal thoughts and anxiety go away within an hour but they go away, it's like a emergency button, it has saved my life from suicide. Dependence builds within months."


"Lifted me out of a mood of despair.  Most importantly, it was the best anger management I ever found.  Clear headed, no anxiety, no side affects other than mild nausea, and that ONLY if I take it on an empty stomach.  Don't miss a dose though, it will make you REALLY woozy.  Stopped for a few months, fell into depression, but Pristiq pulled me right back up when I started back.  Remember that the Rx says specifically that you may need 4 weeks to notice an improvement.  Bear that in mind when you read all these reviews by people who quit taking it after 1 or 2 days."


"As I live in Australia minocycline is cheap - it only costs $10 for 60 pills. I was diagnosed with papulopustular rosacea by a dermatologist. I'd always had a slight redness on the cheeks and slight redness under the skin of my nose but over a 6 week period many tiny pustules emerged and the redness got worse. Went to a dermatologist and he gave me the diagnosis and prescribed Soolantra indicating that it would take weeks/months to work. I didn't want to wait that long so I did extensive research on the internet and made the decision to ignore him and go to a GP and go on Minocycline 2 days later. Best decision I ever made. The Minocycline at 50mg a day made the pustules go away in only 2 weeks and the redness has significantly decreased."


"I got all four wisdom teeth removed today one was also impacted,  and after the freezing wore off and I took it, it basically took all the pain away and I would give it 5-10 mins to let it become effective"


"I have been on Nuvigil for several years for alertness, or lack thereof, and attention issues.  I have had little side effects and don't think I could function properly without it.  Initially, there was a bit of insomnia for a few days, but that passed and all is well since.  Last week I ran out and had to wait a week to get the script through the mail. Ugh! I could not get up in the morning after 8-9 hrs of sleep, I walked around all day in a fog and was afraid I would fall asleep at work. This continued throughout the week and did not seem to get any better.  Finally, my medicines came in, took it this morning and it was like the sun had come out and could function again.  Not all medicines work for everyone, but for those it helps it is a lifesaver!"


"This was my first and only method of bc since 2001. So I can tell my experience with depo was great. No periods just spoting before shot was due. No pregnancies. Weight gained I can say I like to eat so I can't blame depo for that. Now I am thinking to do the nexplanon implant but I am scared of all the bad reviews I read thats why I decided to review depo who has being very effective to me, our bodys react different to each medicine and I hoping is better than depo or I will switch back."


"I had a slight headache the first day. Then i was fine. No sleepy side effects. I have been taking it for 1 month and i lost 15lbs. I have always eaten healthly. I have not started exercising yet. I only take 1 pill a day."


"I have taken Carbamazepine for 36 years and have experienced no significant side effects.  I take 400mg per day and have gained almost total control of my condition.  No seizures since 1983.  Do not cease taking Carbamazapine suddenly for any reason whatsoever.  The withdrawal can be extreme.  The ER medication is very useful."


"Bad side effects for 2 weeks when starting this medicine. Tolerated it fairly well for a couple months. I was on 50mg, then 100 mg. It did raise my blood pressure. No libido issues like I had when on Efexxor.  It did nothing for my fibromyalgia and it took me a few weeks to stop it. Coming off the Pristiq was was worse than starting it. Very nasty headaches everyday. It also made my hair fall out at an alarming rate. Handfuls. My hair stopped falling out about a month after I stopped the Pristiq."


"From the first day I started VesiCare, my urges stopped.  I'm now able to get to the bathroom without accidents."


"MRI reveals badly blown out cervical disc @ c4-5. Now, as long as I didn't do much, I wouldn't have much pain but getting anything done (like yardwork, working out with pushups, painting a wall...etc) was another story and would leave me in severe pain but always THE NEXT DAY and for at least several days afterward (I never really felt the pain on the day of the activity). Then, my doctor gave me Zanaflex, and now I take one 4 mg tab that night, the next day is pain free! I haven't noticed any side effects, no next day grogginess and even the quality of sleep is normal with pleasant dreaming; in fact, if anything my dreams are slightly easier to remember which shows plenty of REM."


"I started taking the pill for my irregular cycle and it has worked but I've noticed I started having headaches, bloating and terrible mood swings. In addition, I've become somewhat lazy and gained a tad bit of weight. I'm about to be on my next set of pills starting tomorrow so I hope it gets better."


"Improves my mood, less stressed but nauseous and sweaty."


"I have lost 34 pounds since June 10 (almost 14 weeks). On the 7.5 mg level I suffered many of the side effects. My doctor suggested I go back to the beginning dosage of 3.75 mg and I feel so much better. The mental fog, insomnia and chronic constipation and headache are gone. I am still losing 1-2 pounds a week. My appetite is under control and sweets hold little appeal. I still recognize an emotional longing to eat when I am stressed or in the evening when watching T.V. "


"My gynecologist offered me two choices cyrotherapy or the cream. I chose the instant freeze method because he said it was a faster alternative. Four of my small warts were frozen and the two large ones about the size of my middle finger nail, he suggested that I use the Aldara cream for it. The first application didn't burn at all but it itched like crazy around like 4am when I woke up and the same for the next application. I didn't see any results so I tried an ACV treatment for two hrs one day. It hurt like hell but I did notice a difference after that. The morning after my 3rd application I was literally able to wipe the warts away but it damaged my skin terribly in two places! "


"Weighed 270 on 5-8-15! 8 days later I weigh 263. If I take it early before 9 am I feel drunk or really tired but if I take it later after 9-10 am I feel ok! Im excited to see how this goes if I can afford it! With out insurance coverage its $305.00 month! Very expensive but I almost say its worth it as long as I'm loosing weight in a decent timely manner! Light exercise but I work up a  sweat and drink lots of water"


"I had my first Skyla inserted 4/13 then removed 3/16, and I just got my second 10/2016. I absolutely love the Skyla. My dr gave me vicodin & valium to take before insertion, but I still felt the typical pain and discomfort. I've had consistent heavy bleeding since my second insertion, but only discomfort for the first few days. I go back in Nov for a follow-up ultrasound to see if it has moved. I have yet to have an issue with the IUD- my partner and I had unprotected sex during the duration of my 1st and no pregnancies. I did not get many periods for that monthly reassurance though. I absolutely recommend the Skyla if your dr deems it a good option for you."


"I have been taking Belviq for 5 days and have lost 6 pounds effortlessly. I have an injury and can't exercise. I have tried everything under the sun to loose weight before. I am getting married in May and need to loose 50 lbs plus. Plan on being on this med indefinitely. And for $200/ month out of pocket, its worth it to me!!!! Good luck, and God bless!"


"I was unable to get rid of my baby weight after having my 2nd child and heard about saxenda. After much thought I decided to consult my doctor who was not oppose to me trying it. I've been on saxenda now for almost 2 months. I havent experienced any side effects I started with .06 and now on dose 3.0. After one full month  I weighed myself and I've lost 10lbs. I've decided to weigh myself monthly so I will check in a few weeks my process! Oh and my insurance has picked it up but only for a limited time I have 2 more refills left!"


"I was on Celexa for approximately 3-6 months for depression. This was my first antidepressant ever, so I didn't know what to expect. The only side effect I remember experiencing was dry mouth which was annoying, but very tolerable and temporary. Celexa very effectively eliminated my short temper/ snappiness, crying fits and it greatly enhanced my mood and outlook on life. On one occasion, while reflecting on a depressing exchange, I realized that I might be suicidal. I advised my doctor but continued to take it with no more problems but ultimately stopped because I didn't want to be dependent on medicines.  The depression is back and I was switched to Viibryd."


"Before Latuda, I had become scared. thought everyone was lying to me. I had become violent, screaming, crying for long periods, sitting in the dark for hours, staying home. I started on 40mg daily. I noticed within 2 days I was thinking clearer and feeling less anxious. I was still having "meltdowns" about every three days, so we went to 80mg six weeks ago. I have been much happier, more productive and sleeping better. I take it at night. The worst side effect I had was swelling around my ankles. But that went away. I'm losing weight. No longer eat in my sleep. It hasn't fixed all, but it has me on the right track to trying to get well. Before Latuda, I didn't care about getting well. I Hope and pray it keeps working."


"When I was 7 I started puberty, I started my periods and all the other signs of becoming a "young woman" and I have been having pain since then on, I've had 2 operations, abnormal periods and extensive ones that have lasted 8 weeks and 21 weeks. I'm 18 and have I've been on this injection for nearly 2 months and I've had nothing but pain, I'm heavier on my period than I've ever been and I'm constantly tired, moody, emotional and sick. I can't hold a meal down and I've lost 2 stone because of this and am now classed as underweight. I can't even hold anti-sickness tablets down. I was told to continue to take the pill and then during my break I shouldn't get my period, but I have and they've been causing that much pain can't even walk properly"


"31yo F - light acne on face / back since teenage years. Tried all over counter treatments, generally just made skin worse.  Doctor recommended  eipduo coupled with doxy - 1 year on and completely clear complexion all over. After a few months reduced doxy to 1 tablet every 3 days and continued use of epiduo -  happy to finally have clear skin"


"Been on Plavix for 3 yrs, since I had  a quad CABG surgery. Just had two additional stents put in on January 6, 2015.  The first two stents were open no clots, no tissue build up,  I do have some bruising but not extensive bleeding when I receive a cut.  Thankful to stay alive"


"I have tried every SSRI except luvox and this is the only one that did anything. However it takes at least a month to work.  However I went out of country and had my carotid veins widened and this extra blood flow has taken away all mental health issues or need for drugs..."


"I took one 50mg tab of Pristiq. 12 hours later, I ended up in the ER with heart rate of 140, BP of 198/102. ER admitted me to the hospital. I then had 3 episodes of my heart pounding in my chest and reaching a peak of 150 beats in a matter of seconds and then going back down. For many this medicine is a good thing, for me it was a nightmare. "


"Had a severe reaction, my tendons swelled up."


"This medication has worked for me for over five years. I started taking it for anxiety but it has also helped me with my extreme shyness. It throws a wet blanket over your emotions. It does reduce both the highs and lows and evens out your emotions."


"I too take it at night for insomnia and do get RLS sometimes. However if I go to bed within 1 hour after taking it, I don't get the RLS , I'm sleepy by then anyway. What I really like about this medication is when I do wake up during the night, I fall back to sleep within a few minutes. Only downside I've found is it's kind of hard to wake up in the morning sometimes. It also helps keep my moods steady during the day and I don't have as many anxiety episodes."


"Trintellix has really made a difference in my life. I have terrible depression. I was suicidal and even slit my wrists because I felt hopeless. My doctor gave me this new medicine and I have been taking it for about 4 weeks now. I am not suicidal anymore. I love my life. I even have more energy now and my anxiety seems to have magically disappeared. I can actually have conversations with people and look at them in the eye. Only thing is, I have gained about 5 lbs. But other than that, this is great!"


"67 years old reasonably fit male until I had a mini stroke in Jan 17. In hospital they put me on 80mg atorvastatin once a day. Within four weeks every muscle in my body ached. Went to the doctors and he reduced the dose to 40mg a day. Another three weeks later I couldn't get out of bed or walk due to aching muscles. Stopped taking them completely and within three days felt thirty per cent better. Another three weeks have gone bye and still ache like hell. They might lower cholesterol for some people and be a godsend but I never want to see another one in my life. They have ruined my way of life."


"I had a tough time with my periods since day 1. Always excruciatingly painful, bloating, vomiting, heavy and lengthy 9+days. I had to miss a lot of school and later on had to miss a lot of work. Quality of life was very poor. I always had to plan my life around when my period would be coming because I knew all plans would have to be cancelled. Natazia changed all of that. I have been taking it for 5 years now and these days my periods are super light for 2 days with no pain. Cons.... since I've been on this pill ive noticed my vision has gotten progressively worse, I am moody, I have gained about 10 lbs per year that no amount of diet and exercise seems to be able to fix and finally I have NOsex drive, putting a strain on my relationship"


"This medication makes me feel weird like my brain is dehydrated, loss of appetite, constant headaches and a jittery feeling that was uncomfortable at times. Reduced smoking cravings and made smoking really gross. Had a few drinks on new years....bad idea, sick for days."


"I have tried indomethicin.  Never works.  Methyl prednisone works almost immediately every time."


"This blood pressure med makes me feel spacey, like I'm not here!  Makes my body weak where it feels like my own legs can't carry me!! I hate the way it makes me feel!!"


"It's like you're 18 again! (I'm 62 now)

I have a very, very active sex life - 2x -3x/day.  Never had a problem getting erect, but recycle time was less than ideal.  Cialis cut that significantly.

I take 5mg in the morning."


"Norco works great for me and has for several years. I crushed my ankle over 10 years ago and the pain can be overwhelming. "


"I have suffered from Panic disorder and OCD since the age of 18.. Been on medication but stopped when I was 28 due to my pregnancy - Anyhow, 2016 of April I was prescribed Generic Lexapro, keep in mind the brand name worked wonders! The generic was a horrible experience.. Now its my 3rd day of switching to Sertraline 50mg.. The switch has been amazing so far! I feel so much better already."


"Been on Daliresp for 11 months. No weight loss or stomach issues.  Has greatly improved shortness of breath and no bronchitis flare ups.  Before Daliresp you could count on at least 3 to 4 flare ups per year."


"I was on my 4th try on a antidepressant and was feeling very discouraged. I had many side effects from the other medicines such as sleepiness, headaches, overeating, agitation, and crying spells. My therapist gave me Pristiq. I read about the side effects and was not looking forward to headaches. I took it and had no side effects. On my second day I was doing a lot more things and felt a lot better. Thank God!"


"I gained a lot of weight and had a significant increase in headaches. It left me feeling moody, tired and unbalanced."


"Prescribed, use 12 on, 12 off. Used with oxycodone. Not effective, in addition patch doesn't adhere well, adhesive not strong enough to keep it in place w/o having to tape down patch.

Would not recommend this patch."


"I had been experiencing probs with high blood pressure and melazma from the birth control patch. My doc advised me to use mirena. I am 30 and have 3 children, my doctor told me implanting the IUD would be uncomfortable but since I had kids it shouldn't be so bad. It was the most pain I have ever been in. Worse than my labor with all 3. They said it wouldn't last long, but I had to lie down in the office for 2 hours, until the office closed. The cramping continued for a couple days. I had stuck with it for about 6 months, but my face is breaking out like I am 15 (which I have never had a problem with) and I have had an awful discharge since I have had the IUD. I have had very very mild periods which is nice, but I plan on having it removed."


"For the first 3-4 months, things were going great. Insertion was painful but you get over that quick enough. Then I developed horrible cystic acne and didn't put 2 and 2 together right away. Even as a teen, I had no acne; now my skin is disgusting. More recently, I've experienced severe cramping for multiple days in a row. I called right away to schedule removal after a total of about 11 months. I'd rather go back to the pill until my husband can get his vasectomy."


"I liked opana but my docoter put me back on oxycontin 60mgs. For the time I was on it, it worked really well for my pain. Its a great drug to be on if you need it."


"On my third week and for me have suffered few ill effects. I was quite concerned about using the Trulicity after reading these many rather negative reviews. But, I decided to try it as the injection method is fantastically simple.

I for whatever reason cannot inject myself with insulin. My wife had to do it daily, something she was not crazy about.

Now, once a week and a hidden needle it is very very easy now.

So far I have not experienced any of these other symptoms except a brief feeling of nausea. Nothing really bad at all.

So for me this is great. My glucose numbers have dropped quite a bit and at the moment just above where I want to be. (Around 150 - I was much higher before even with insulin at around 190-sh).

Also taking Junovia.."


"Donnatal is so expensive.

Go to donnatal website.

There is a link to click on drug assist. I called. They sent me a prescription for free. Also my doctor had a coupon. I only had to pay $15 for 90 pills"


"I'm 24 years old I have battled with sudden breakouts for the past 6 years. I did not have active acne, but I had zero control on random breakouts in my cheeks. I have used literally every product on the market and altered my diet to see if I would benefit from it, absolutely nothing has worked. My last resource was stimulating my hormones to see if this might be the problem, also one of my girlfriends who's skin is flawless has been on birth control since she was 16 and recommended it to me. Let me tell you I've been on Beyaz for exactly one month today and my skin has never been so flawless, its unreal. I've had zero side effects other than the best quality silky skin I've always dreamed of. Thank you Beyaz. "


"I got my first injection of Depo Provera in March to help with pain from female related problems. The first 2 weeks were okay but I began to notice a lot of changes and abdominal pain, burning pain in groin and legs, changes in bowel habits, mental changes and I always felt uneasy and on edge. My hair began to fall out more and I always felt really unwell. I have been to the ER a few times after the shot and doctors can't really find anything wrong. Ever since the injection, I've had body aches, muscle spasms, broken out into hives, felt like my throat was closing, back pain and I am tired all the time. I will not be getting the second injection or any others. I am in my mid 20's and feel awful and not myself. Don't get Depo shot!!!"


"I've came to my end of my first month on this, I started taking it to help reglate my period. It has helped do that! But the Anxitey and depression has been on high, I get crazy moods where I can't stand anyone & I don't want to be around anyone. I feel more bloded since taking them."


"After trying Topamax for months with no relief, I have been on Depakote ER for three months with GREAT relief! I was having migraine headaches 17 out of 31 days a month, now- maybe one a month (taking Axert when I have pain). The only problem I have had is I have gained 10 pounds in less than three months....this is horrible for me, as I could have afforded to have lost 10 pounds when starting Depakote!

My Dr. is going to have me try to mis in 25 mg. of Topamax to suppresse the appetite."


"My mother was on this medication for 2 weeks for early stages of Alzheimer's. The first week family thought we could see noticeable improvement. By the end of the 2nd week she was confused and defecating in her hand which she had never done before. The doctor discontinued and after a few days she was back to where she was before starting the med. My advice is watch your loved one closely for side effects."


"Im not completely finished with treatment but regardless of mild side effects im completely greatful for this medicatio. Thank you Gilead!! Sincerely brandooks"


"I started Yaz and immediately noticed my anxiety levels go through the roof, particularly within the first two hours of taking it. I was jittery, had mild heart palpitations, fogginess, indecisiveness, restless sleep and was extremely depressive and teary. My skin also erupted with acne.

Upside: I lost a ton of water weight and grew breasts!

I gave up after 10 days, too many contraindications in too short amount of time.

"


"This hurts so bad ! This is my first time having a YI and I wish I would have tried the yogurt because that seems like it helps better then the cream. I'm itching so much and it's burning. I'm trying the cold water bottle and putting it down there and it isn't helping much . I really don't think I will be using the rest of the applicators because of this horrible pain I am experiencing right now. Absolutely can't not endure this pain and I want to scratch it so bad or either take it out . I just hope it makes my YI go away !"


"This blue generic version of ambien is worthless. Instead of enabling sleep, I become restless and agitated. In addition, I've had a migraine since the pharmacy filled my prescription with this generic. I have degenerative discs in my spine, which is very painful, and need the ambien to sleep. Two weeks now without sleep on these pills."


"I'm in my early 40s and have noticed the last couple of years I've become very aggitated over nothing! Always yelling at my teenager and I could literally feel my blood pressure raising over the smallest things. Also this last year for some reason I became depressed. I didn't ever want to get out if bed or leave the house to do anything. I've always had a bad opinion about antidepressants but I knew SOMETHING had to change. I reached out to my doctor who gave me 100 mg of generic Wellbutrin and the very first day I noticed I was calmer! I fell asleep 2 hours later but woke up refreshed I just finished day 3 and I swear I feel fantastic! Not only have I not yelled even once, I don't feel angry at all! And I want to do stuff again. Very happy"


"This medicine is definitely a 10. It worked for me from the first day I took it.  It's nice to sleep at night again instead of pacing the floor."


"I've only been on it 2 days, but so far so good! I feel much better, cough is gone, and no side effects. Will use again if I need it."


"I got my the mirena because I didn't want to have a hysterectomy, I have had it now bout 2yrs I will say that it stop the bleeding for me but it did cause me to gain like 20 pounds and is very painful  for me during Intercourse which I don't like about having this just glad not to be bleeding 20 days out of the month (very heavy). So I will say that it did what I expected just the weight gain ."


"Helps my breathing so much."


"I take four five milligram tablets whenever I am constipated and I couldn't be any happier with the results. The only things I suffer from with this medication are cramps (no way as bad as everyone else is making them out to be) and wind. If you want effective and fast results which are always guaranteed, I suggest you definitely try Dulcolax."


"The Tylenol PM worked .... TOO GOOD!  After 20 minutes I would have a great night's sleep.  I have been taking it for years .... then my son told me the new reports about this causing dementia.  I stopped immediately.  The side effects after I stopped have been pretty severe.  I never dreamt that there would be withdrawals from this until I googled it but I have most of the symptoms (except for the shakes and nightmares).... dizzy, light headedness, nausea, unable to sleep.  After all I thought, since I talked to my doctor over and over about them (and he said no problem) and they were over the counter, I was good.  WRONG!  Bad stuff.  Tell everyone you know to stop them."


"My starting weight was 297. Now two weeks later I'm 283. After each increase I did have nausea and vomiting for a day or two. I thought I would have to stop and then I discovered Pepto-Bismol.  My second day of Pepto-Bismol I felt like a new man. According to the label you can have 2 tablespoons up to eight times a day which means every couple hours. This really made a difference in the side affects. I rated it a 9 only because of the side effects other than that I'm 100% satisfied with this new medication!"


"I got my skyla placed on September 14th 2016.  Insertion wasnt too bad at all, just a few pokes and pinches and it was done. However 20 minutes after insertion the cramps kicked in, I haven't had kids yet. But I swear the pain level of the cramps are what I assume is how contractions feel. It was so so bad. I love my OB so I drive a 30 minutes to see her. Needless to say the drive home was horrible. Once I finally got home the contraction cramps were so bad I was laying on the floor crying. The cramping did get better the next day and was completely gone in about 3 days. Originally I was on the pill and my body didn't like it and I was having a period 6 -7 days twice a month. Now I just spot brown discharge that has lightened up a lot"


"My pain was stopping me from having quality of life!"


"Ended up in ER for falling on concrete reason dizziness and drop in red blood cell and more."


"I have suffered from hyperhidrosis since puberty, and I would never raise my hand in class to ask questions. It caused me severe anxiety, and probably hurt my education. Two weeks ago I started using Drysol. IT CHANGED MY LIFE. I can now work an 8 hour shift in the light gray uniform shirt and be completely dry. My quality of life and confidence have skyrocketed. The only reason I'm not rating it a 10 is because of the itching. When applied,  drysol causes me pretty severe itching in my underarms. I have been able to ignore it for the most part in public,  but only with extreme discipline. If it didn't cause so much itching,  this would be a miracle product."


"The only thing I've tried that works. These patches are GREAT! I have no sensations at all. If you're a heavy smoker and really want to stop smoking, I recommend you use these. I will NEVER smoke again because of these patches. I also use the Nicotine Gum."


"I was just given Reglan this morning at the ER but don't think they combined it with anything but saline.  Usually I get the physically "hyper" feeling but with mind exhaustion with Dramamine or Benedryl.  Those medicines make me feel like all my muscles need to be repeatedly stretched and like they are itchy on the inside.  Luckily I did not get this feeling at all today with just the intravenous Reglan.
Even managed to sleep through half the drip.  Only bad thing was that it was really cold going into my arm...my whole arm felt numb.  Also, don't know if it is common or not, but was starving 6 hours later and ate more in 1 sitting than I ever before (I'm sure I will regret that tomorrow)."


"Had severe sinus problems tried over the counter medicines didn't work diagnosed with bacterial acute sinusitis. Was given medication of levoflaxacin 500 mg . Am feeling better but lots of side effects. Stomach upset depression anxiety. Please do not take unless its the last medicine."


"Vicodin was prescribed for my shoulder pain. After taking the medicine for 3 days without relief of my shoulder pain I quit taking the medicine."


"I have been in total agony with a pain that felt like I was going to be giving birth to an elephant, plus pains in each side of the abdomen and pain coming out in my lower back and rib pain. The pain made my moods and emotions full of anger, sobbing, outbursts, I felt non-human. Just no control of myself. I tried Dilaudid, and Tylenol 3's nothing worked and while in emergency I was treated with several drugs, the pain remained. Finally Dilaudid with a shot of Toradol and it took the pain, what a relief. I felt human again, I felt focused and I could see life and what was real. "


"Had Nexplanon for 2.5 years now and was totally impressed with it until around three months ago when it started to give me basically the symptoms of pregnancy. Swollen boobs, extreme mood swings and manic crying. Only then, after reading more closely into side-effects of the implant, did I realise that the 30 lbs I've gained in that time may be linked. Cannot wait to have it removed in a week's time! However, still a wonderful contraceptive. Give it a go if you aren't sure, it doesn't have to be permanent."


"been great for me except for the weight gain , I just want to eat all the time"


"Make sure you take the pill within 24 hours! I took the pill 1 hour after my mishap. I had small cramps a few days later and a week after taking the pill I spotted for about half a day then a light period started right after.. it lasted only a few days. I usually have light periods anyways. This pill works just try not to stress and take if as soon as possible."


"Doctor had me try this instead of just increasing the dosage of Asmanex I was taking.  Dulera is a combination of Asmanex with something else, and that added component did NOT do well with me.  "


"Works fine. And it is the same as minastrin, I don't know if anyone else on here took a chemistry class, but minastrin and mibelas are made up of the same chemical composition, and therefore the same product produced by "different companies". I had no weight gain, light periods that lasted three days."


"I found this product to be worth while taking. It's been about 3 months since I have been on it. I was really tired the first 2 weeks but now there are just yawns throughout the day. My social life has gotten better due to problems with anxiety and depression as well. Maybe due to other medication prior, my learning is better though focusing is not better due to my ADHD, and my back pain has been reduced. I have made more friends and feel much more normal more so then not, and I don't feel like I "lost myself like another drug did to me in the past. I would say this isn't bad due to the mild side effects."


"I developed anxiety attacks, as many do after a Total Thyroidectomy.  I suffered for a year with inadequate thyroid treatment and all the awful things that come with it. Then developed panic/anxiety attacks.  They would last 6 or 7 hours at a time.  I would barely feel better and then I got another. Ativan helped in 15 minutes. I've been taking it for two months and it has given me back the small part left of my post-thyroid life. Thanks to my thyroidectomy, I will never be well again.  But at least I don't have panic attacks."


"So to start, Im not affiliated with any med companies, nor is this some fake bs review. I was you, scanning reviews all night long, just two weeks ago. I have a HUGE personal phobia of medication, in dread of any adverse side effects... and my anxiety has also come back with a vengeance over the last 2 years, and began controlling my life.

I started on 5mg generic. People say it's placebo at this dose....everyone is different. I can tell you a few things: The 9th day on it I had realized most of my anxiety was gone & all my emotions, sex drive, were all in tact. 1 major problem... Insomnia for every single night, and night sweats. Couldn't sleep for more than 3 hours a night. Helped, but not the right med for me due to this. Try it!"


"Vivitrol does an excellent job at blocking your opiate receptors, preventing you from getting high. I've been a heavy heroin/oxycodone addict for the last 6 years. This was my first real attempt to quit and decided on Vivitrol because it's non habit forming. I've been on the shot for 5 months now. The reason I give it a so so rating is because it does nothing for your urges and cravings. That's a battle you still have to fight on your own. After my first injection I experienced "brain fog", rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure for the next 24 hours. I was 14 days clean prior to the injection. The next 4 injections went smooth. Vivitrol also seems to effect my sleep pattern, bowel movements, and sex drive for two after each of the injections"


"I've only been on this birth control for about a month and I already don't like it.  I've been spotting for about 2 weeks now, I get head aches, vivid nightmares, gained weight, terrible mood swings. The list goes on... The reason why I switched birth controls was because my last one (the depo shot) was giving me extremely bad head aches and cramps. Also I bled for 3 whole months while being on it. I just want to find a birth control that fits me and doesn't give me all of these symptoms."


"I could easily fall asleep within 10-15 minutes after taking my Restoril."


"When i first started using Ziana, i only had acne in between my eyebrows, chin, and the nose area. My acne worsened while using it and then it got better. But after about 4 months of using it, it became ineffective. So i now have acne between my eyebrows, chin, cheeks, forehead, and the nose area. Its great at first but after a while it made my face even worse than before i used the product."


"For those of you having trouble finding Demerol or any other hard to find analgesics, or any medication for that matter, forget big chains. Try going to the closest hospital pharmacy. They tend to carry things that other pharmacies do not. They also are able to more order things much easier because as a hospital, they must have these things available for people with allergies, etc. I wish the FDA/DEA would realize how harmful NSAIDs (especially ibuprofen) can be, and that everyone is different. What works for one may have horrible side effects for another. When taken responsibly narcotic analgesics are less harmful to the body, and this is a subject that i have researched extensively. For now, try bringing ur scrip to the hospital pharmacy!"


"Didn't help, just made me tired."


"Just received a D&C today and had to be put to sleep with propofol and I must tell you it is amazing. I was so scared to be put under because this was my first surgery. I'm 21. The anesthesiologist talked to me the whole time. When the medication was injected into my IV it wasn't painful but it did go up my shoulder and I could actually taste it but after that all I remember was looking at the clock and them strapping me down on the surgery table and then I was in recovery. It's that simple. It's just like a regular nap. I woke up tired but no nausea, I wasn't groggy, no headache. I felt great. Would definitely do this medicine again. Hope this helps for those who are afraid like I was. Don't be. It's as easy as 123."


"I started having migraine headaches when I was 14.  The first time I had one, I was sitting in Biology class and could not see the faces of other students around me.  I was terrified and had a panic attack.  The school nurse thought I was on drugs and called my mother who immediately took me to a doctor.  The migraines continued through out my life and caused me difficulty in my employment.  I am a solo practitioner lawyer.  When I would get one in court, I could not see, speak or think.  Obviously, I had migraines with an aura. My family doctor only treated the pain, but finally I went to a psychiatrist and he prescribed Gabapentin and Lexapro.  My migraines stopped completely.  It has been seven months now and I am migraine free."


"I had nexplanon inserted of February 2017. Prior to that for about 2 weeks I was so depressed I didn't want to get out of bed, I already have been clinically diagnosed with depression and anxiety and nexplanon made it worse. A week from insertion I bled nonstop, the longest time not bleeding was about 5 days and my longest period was about 47 days of heavy crampy bleeding. I felt insane and not like myself at all, I would get mad at my partner for the littlest things and I was an  extremely angry person which is totally unlike me. After bleeding so heavy that I became anemic, I decided to have it taken out and since then I have felt GREAT I decided to switch to the IUD (kyleena) got it inserted a couple weeks ago I am loving it!"


"I have been taking Cryselle for just over two years, and have been fighting depression, weight gain, terrible heafaches, and anxiety attacks for the entire duration. I live a very stressful life, but I was always optimistic and could fight through it. Until I started taking this pill. After about 3 months, I tried to commit suicide, my depression has become debilitating, and I have anxiety attacks at the most random moments, without any triggers. I've been off the pill for about a week, and my mood is already improving. This pill changed who I am completely. I lost my friends and became distant, all because of the depression. I'm not sure how to be me again, or who me even is anymore. Be careful, and watch out for any side effects."
