"Started Seasonique about a year and a half ago. Had some spotting for the fist six months and then it tapered off. The first period I had on it was excruciatingly painful. Felt like I was constantly getting stabbed. The first time I felt those cramps I dropped to the floor for a bit. I decided to weather it out and continued taking the pill. Worked great for about a year but then started getting random spotting that lasted for 3 weeks. Have switched to another BCP now.

As far as I know, it worked pretty well at preventing pregnancy. I took it around the same time every day. I never really missed any days so I can't relay any experiences about that."


"I had a rebate so I was able to get Epiduo for $35 instead of $60 prescription co pay. I was pleased with how well the samples my doctor gave me. I had originally gone in to have some moles removed and he asked why at 27 I was still breaking out. I was like "you tell me. You're the dermatologist." Epiduo isn't as drying as the other acne creams I tried as a teenager and I'm pleased with my results. I'm especially pleased that two very determined blackheads I've had for years are both, as of today, gone. I would definitely recommend Epiduo."


"From January 2015 my period started being irregular and I haven't had my period since June last year (2016). My doctor recommended provera, 5mg for 10 days. My period came 4 days after the last pill. Am so happy and I hope it becomes regular again."


"I been on Cymbalta for almost a year and I have no anxiety or depression I really didn’t have any side effects except nausea but other then that the meds work great I’m happy with it "


"Been taking it for 7 months prior to this had really bad flares nothing worked. Steroids wouldn't control. Had UC for 19 years and had spread further up my colon. Was offered azathioprine. So thought why not. Best thing I have ever done, I have my life back.  My regular bloods are all normal. Not taking anything else for UC. Toilet once a day. Have joint pain but that a small price to pay. Don't have to worry about being near a toilet."


"I started using clonazepam years ago, recommended by my partners psychiatrist at the time to help me with insomnia. I was using 0.5mg only on occasion and it was a miracle. I would fall asleep within an hour of taking them and have a great nights sleep. Loved it. Years later the dosage is now 4.25mg (as my resistance built up and the lower dosage no longer helped).  I do take them about three times a week to sleep, especially Sunday night before the work week begins.  However, I am now worried that my dosage is too high and I will have trouble getting off of them. "


"I have BP problems. Having hard time finding a med to control it. Was given a beta blocker that caused a heart attack put me in hospital. Put me on Norvacs 5mg twice a day. Was on 1 and 1/2 weeks I had severe headaches. Tremors,blurred vision, stomach pains, burning in my legs, had red burning spots form on my lower abdomen then blisters. Off med and will never take Norvasc again. Now on Losartin and Clondine,doing fair with BP. & no side effects."


"I started the shot when I was 14 to regulate my periods and as I've read a lot of women say it made them worse, but for me the first few months made it worse for me I bleed for almost 2 months but after I got my second shot my periods stopped completely. It is also a great birth control, personally I gained only alittle weight (5-7 pounds) but I liked it because I'm considered smaller than average. My stomach gets bloated and my back hurts when I'm due for my next shot and I get a little moody but other than that it's been pretty good. My breasts and bum grew which is a plus. I recommend it for a birth control."


"This is the wonder drug. I was on Vicodin and oxycodone for over 6 years from back surgery. I found a doctor who helped me get off them and give me life again. It saved me from losing my family and my friends. Suboxone starting working immediately after the first dose. Instantly I was feeling better about my life. If in doubt don't be, admit you have a problem and get some help. Read all the above comments, they are true."


"started Victoza 2 weeks ago and lost 6 pounds so far. My stomach was a little upset,but I find that eating more alkaline foods rather lots of acidic foods helps tremendously."


"I was just diagnosed with PCOS. Well I asked the doctor what I could do to stop the bleeding. She put me on this. I just started my second month.  I've been bleeding for about 1.5-2 weeks. Its heavier than its even been. I'm going through ultra tampons every 3 hours."


"Went to dermatologist 3 days after first sign was only using Abreva with no results. He suggested 1500mg Famvir now, and gave me 3 more to take at the first sign of additional outbreak in the future. Within one day the swelling had gone away and the blister was starting to clear up.
I have used other treatments but nowhere as fast and effective as this product."


"I only gave this pill a 7 because it hasn't done WONDERS for me (I was hoping my skin would become flawless I guess) but I have lost about 4-5lbs since I started taking this pill. I just started my third pack 4days ago and the weight is still dropping.

Not to say that will continue, I'm sure my hormones will level out in a month or two, but I am thankful I'm not gaining weight. I don't exercise anymore but I am semi-conscience about what I eat.

I'm a firm believer that everybody's body is completely different and can and will react differently to different medications. I was put on this for PCOS bc my testosterone was high so it is supposed to help with that and I believe it has even as reluctant as I was to start taking BC again."


"Iv been on the depo for almost 2 years. For about a week know I have pressure when I urine and there's blood every time I go to urine. I haven't see blood in about 2 years I have pain evertime.  What is wrong with me I'm scared "


"36 year old female with ADHD, Depression, Fibromialgia, Severe Menopausal hot flashes, and Panic Attacks: total hysterectomy at 29.  Strattera #22 or so on my list of Antidepressants, Nerve Pills, Sleeping Pills, Hormones, Herbal supplements, etc.  The Gyno got with the Psychiatrist and weeded out tons of things that I'm severely allergic to and came to the Strattera (no red dye, sulfa, codeine,..).  It eliminated hot flashes entirely, I lost 50 pounds, I focus better.  All else I just have to deal with.  It makes me severely nauseated and gives me a migraine every day and makes my heart beat irregularly pretty often and I can't eat after it at all, but I am up living, working, playing with my grandchildren, NOT sleeping and crying."


"I have been on Biaxin for about 7 days for sinus infection and bronchitis. I started to feel better after a couple of days, but don't feel as good. Still coughing and stuffed up on one side. Side effects haven't been too bad - metallic taste in mouth for some time after I take it, but goes away. Also makes me a little nauseous if I don't take with food. Wondering if I need to go back to the Dr. though."


"I have been on Descovy + Tivicay for 2 weeks and have almost zero side effects, besides a little  diarrhea for the first three days. I'm looking forward to my results in a week."


"I'm a 17 year old female. I have OCD and anxiety and this has done nothing for me! I take 7.5 mg 3 x a day and I wish I could take something else. I've been out of school for like a month because of my anxiety."


"I've had a horrible cough for two weeks and for the past two days have a dry persistent cough that sounds horrific. I was prescribed Tessalon Perles 100mg twice a day and immediately stopped coughing. This medicine is wonderful and suppresses the urge to cough. I highly recommend this medicine. It does make you drowsy."


"This med saved my life. I was having a hard time dealing with all the side effects from my menopause."


"I think the shots are very painful, they sting, no matter how you inject it. Let it sit out for 20 minutes first, etc. Also- I liked the injectable pen better when I was using Enbrel. This needle is a real needle, no injectable pen. I feel it's harder to use on yourself that way."


"I was given this by my podiatrist for ball of foot pain due to wearing heels; All I can say is I wish I wouldn't have waited 3 months to go to podiatrist ; Im on day 3 and im in no Pain!!!....Thank God for this medication!!!!"


"The is the best product for really bad headaches and migraines (if you have migraines, you know the difference).

Because of the shortage in 2011-2012 I now keep several 300 counts as extra stock.

Can't be beat for relief!"


"Combipatch took away flashes within 2 weeks, nausea and headaches. I don't like to take any medicines at all, but the symptoms of menopause were affecting my life. I am on the lightest dose."


"this medicine along with prozac really helps depression"


"When I tried Malarone around 2007, I became nauseous, stomach hurt, I could not eat at all and could not get out of the hotel. I had to stop the medication because I could not enjoy the vacation. However, in 2015 on another trip, I was given the generic version of Malarone. I felt fine during the whole stay and felt fine after the 7 days after the trip ended. While my friend, on the other hand, tried the brand name Malarone version and started to feel nauseous, swollen during the first day of the trip and had to stop. What do I encourage you to do? Please try the generic version of Malarone - Atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride."


"This is my first time ever taking birth control of any kind. I've been seeing my boyfriend for about 8 months and until about a month and a half ago we used condoms, then I decided to get put on birth control. I'm currently about halfway through my second pack, and things seem to be going pretty well. Probably about the second week of my first pack I had abdominal cramps. Just like period cramps. My breasts also hurt really bad. But both of these symptoms went away within a few days. My period was also shorter and lighter, but my cramps were just as horrible as normal. I haven't gained any weight, that I know of. I don't weigh myself weekly so I'm not sure about that. But everything else seems pretty normal."


"I have been on the implanon birth control for almost 12 months have had it in since after my miscarriage in may of 2014. Have not had my period the entire time not even spotting. Lately I've been feeling sick having cramps. Well when I woke up this morning and used the bathroom I realized I was spotting. And had cramps. Spotting came and go and cramps got worse! What could that possibly be from"


"I get chronic UTI's and kidney infections.  I recently found out that my chronic infections have led to scarring of my left kidney and both ureters so I go in for a cystoscopy and Videourodynamics in December.  Cipro is the only thing that works for me.  It works fast too.   I usually get bad headaches with this medicine, but I am prone to headaches as well...lucky me.  I always make sure I take good probiotics when I am on this medicine to replenish the gut flora.  Bactrim is weak and never works...Cipro is the only thing that works for me and my body.  Everyone's body is different so do your research and talk to your doctor about your concerns."


"I had the Mirena inserted two weeks ago on the second day of my period.  I have had two children and I didn't feel the insertion of the device AT ALL.  My doctor did use the ultrasound machine to make sure the placement was correct.  I took 800mg of ibuprofen before I went to my appt.  I had slight cramping and have had light/bleeding since.  I am and avid runner and I have no problems with pain after rigorous exercise or intercourse.  I am hoping that as the weeks go by the light bleeding decreases.  It's worth 4 years of birth control to me."


"I have been on the Nuvaring for over 5 years and it has completely changed my life for the better. I am a HUGE advocate for Nuvaring and highly recommend it.  I was the girl who had horrible cycles, front and back cramps that could keep me out for the first day-sometimes two days-of my cycle. Clotting, moodiness, you name it - I had it.  I HATED being a girl and wished to never cycle again. Well, Nuvaring was the answer."


"I take 0.75 mg at 6.00pm. This totally relieves restless legs syndrome for me. Side effects are mild but include profound sleepiness and mildly heightened libido (true!) which are somewhat self-defeating. Because Requip is a dopamine agonist it works alongside iron as a co-factor. Therefore, I need to minimise iron-depleting lifestyle factors as well as taking Requip. That means that I can only have de-caffeineated coffee and that I can't drink alcohol. "


"My son, now 10, was diagnosed with impulse control issues. He has always had As and Bs in school and always loves to read. He gets bored alot in class and his impulse control (blurting out, saying what's on his mind/no filter) had caused him to be put in alternative school (where his grades began to falter). Over the summer, we had him evaluated and they said that meds would help. Our general physician didn't want to put him on a stimulant and suggested Straterra. First 2 months @ 60mg. Lost 15lbs (which put him at the right weight actually) and slept all the time. Backed off to 40mg since then and he's maintained his weight, sleeps well and maintained grades. Too bad our monthly script cost increased x9. Looking for a cheaper alternative."


"I took invokana for almost a year...kept a yeast infection and I now have bald spots in my hair. Yes I lost weight, but the side effects were too much for me... got off the medicine and gained all the weight back. I will stick to metfomin."


"Just started taking this medication after a dental gum graft. I drank PLENTY of water as directed. Felt as if my life was ending with the severe heart burn I experienced.

I guess this is something we need to endure if we don't wont a massive infection in our bodies ... This just doesn't seem right ?!?!?!?!"


"Its just a placebo just meant to slightly reduce the discomfort associated to an herpes outbreak. Has no effect whatsoever on the root cause, which is the virus itself, and therefore it does not shorten the course of the outbreak as other more effective over-the-counter medicines do."


"Worked great. It improved my vision."


"This stuff straight up works. I'm a 27 year old who has performance anxiety issues, and this stuff is a life saver. Don't listen to those who say it doesn't help with psychological issues; it really does! My only two complaints are the cost, and ironically, sometimes it's TOO easy to get an erection (it doesn't take too much stimulation and it's rock hard)."


"My PA prescribed this for me after I complained of bad cystic acne at 30 years old. This medicine has been nothing short of life-changing. It took only a few days before I started seeing my skin clearing up. Now a few months in, I can easily go out without makeup! I honestly feel like a new person."


"I've been on this stuff for about 3 weeks. Typically 250mgs 3 times a week. I took my last dose 7 days ago. Not because I wanted to drink but because the drug spaces me out a bit and I was putting it off. So yesterday I decides to test it and drink. Apparently every alcoholic eventually does.

Anyway even with a small dose and a 6 day gap, the liquor didn't make me sick but it was a very uncomfortable experience. Instead of that usual obsession where one drink leads to another to the point of total blackout, I actually poured my last beer down the sink.

With 4 years of doing everything under the sun trying to put down the bottle, for me a desperate situationeed called for a desperate measures."


"I've had a great experience so far on Nexplannon. While I did have a serious bruising issue for about a week and a half at the incision point, it went away. Absolutely love it as birth control! However, I'm noticing that exercise makes me nauseous. Even biking to class! Also, when I get hungry but aren't home to eat, I get nauseous too. Other than that, no weight gain (I've actually lost weight after gaining 15lbs in 8 mos on pills! That was my reason for switching) no hair loss and only super minor spotting. Pretty much completely satisfied!"


"Im 17 years old and I've taken Focalin Xr 30mg for most of my life and as much as it helps in school i would not recommend taking this at all, like most people with adhd I am pretty good socially and when I'm on focalin i become very pannicky, you cant eat and for me i feel like pukigg if i try to eat, my body becomes achy and my mouth gets really dry and mucusy, sleeping is a nightmare, I have tried to make this work, even took it every single day to build up a tolerance, but its always the same thing. Sure, i managed to sit down and get my work done but when the work is done and school done for the day you feel strange, like not in your own skin. A tutor is the best thing that has happened to me along with b12 vitamins."


"I find Suboxone to be the answer to my prayers.  This medicine keeps me on the straight and narrow and am VERY proud of myself."


"I've been taking Sprintec for exactly two weeks. I have had absolutely no symptoms. There has been no break through bleeding, nausea, headaches. I've been breaking out a little more than normal since I started Sprintec but that could also be due to stress. I take it around 7:00 pm or so, right around when I eat, this may be why I have been able to avoid any nausea, so I recommend taking it with something to eat. When it comes to effectiveness, I can't comment yet until I finish the pack, but I'm sure taking it regularly will make it effective."


"Works great but I'm coming off this as they do not stick well enough so I'm having to change it every few days, i gym and swim a lot so this probably doesn't help! They also leave a black sticky mark like a plaster but it's there even when the patch is on so doesn't look great. Has made my breasts go and become so tender :-("


"Alprolazam keeps me on an even keel."


"Should very careful if suffering from Osteonecrosis of Jaw, and avoid in pregnancy."


"I'm so much more focused at work and home. But I noticed, if I don't eat, I'm a space cadet. Eating is very important,  otherwise you're just wasting a good medicine. I also have ALOT more energy, By Far! I work the overnight shift at work, and it helps very much.  Thanks Adderall."


"It took me awhile to see real results while on Claravis, I even stopped taking it for about 2 weeks at one point because the side effects were too much to handle. The dry/peeling skin resulted in a lot of scarring, and it was extremely difficult to get used to. However, by the 3rd month I had developed a good moisturizing routine that really helped to keep my skin looking healthy. It took a lot longer than I had originally expected, and it took a lot of patience, but I am a week into my 4th month on Claravis and have been acne free for a few weeks now. My dermatologist is saying I may not even need to go the full 6 months because of my great progress. So if you are considering this mediciation for your acne, just be very patient."


"Took this medication to help with weigh loss. It did help with weight loss, but I never felt well. This impacted my ability to exercise, which really decreased my weight loss. Then four months in, I got very ill with a bladder infection that did not clear up. Lots of lower back pain, front pain (where gallbladder is located, but I do not have mine) and continued lack of energy. I mention to my weight loss doctor and am informed that this medication can cause kidney stones. So, I am off this medication and in the process of ruling out what is wrong with me- but most likely kidney stones caused by Qysmia. The pain and doctor bills were not worth the 10 pound weight loss. I would avoid it."


"I suffer from Psoriatic Arthritis and Fibromyalgia.  My Pain Dr. recommended this when I became Opioid Tolerant. This drug works fantastic and fast for pain.  Please be aware though within 6 months my Dr. had to increase dosage several times for same affect, and higher doses caused "narcolepsy attacks" and severe panic/anxiety attacks.  I ultimately decided the pain control was not worth the side affects.  Getting off of it was a nightmare, withdrawal from hell, ended up needing assistance to get off of Subsys.  For a terminal patient I would recommend this medicine, for someone trying to function a normal life please think twice and tread carefully."


"Starting weight was 173 (5'5), combined Qsymia program with up to 1000 cal per day (no exercise) - recording with my fitness pal app definitely helps!! I lost 18 lbs altogether in 6 months where majority lost in first 3 ms, maintained during rest with pills on/off. One thing I did not like about the medicine (especially at the first couple of months) is the side effects; dry mouth, anxiety attacks (which I never experienced before) & insomnia but it subsided after awhile. Regarding pricing, some insurance companies will allow for pre-authorization if you get your doctor to reason with them it is necessary for you; this way   coupon you can pay as low as $35/ month supply.  not bad program overall.."


"10 to 15% improvement after second gel capsule"


"I cannot say enough positive things about Contrave. I started the end of June with the 1 pill and then 2 and so on and that first month I didnt see a difference really in my appetite. Once i got my second bottle and started on the full dose...drastic difference. I eat 1/4 of what I normally do portion wise...less snacks/meals a day. And most importantly i have NO desire to eat just to eat. I am not addicted to food anymore. I actually have to make myself eat. I am not a weigher because I obsess but since i started the full dose a lil over a month ago i have lost 26 inches all over. Everyone has noticed my weight loss...cashiers at stores even lol, its significant! Not to mention I am just happier in general!"


"If i could rate this lower than a 1 I would. Worst. Experience. Of my life. I had severe nausea from a dental infection in the hospital and the doctors gave me compazine through IV. I don't even know when this happened but I had a crazy out of body experience. I saw myself laying in my bed and had NO idea where I was. I thought I was in Arizona at first at a hotel and then freaked out because I had no clue who the people in the room were (my parents, my regular nurses). The room spun and then I vomited everywhere. It was horrifying. I was nauseous for about twelve more hours and then had hallucinations. I saw people walking in and out of my hospital room that I knew damn well weren't real or there.DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG."


"Has helped so much."


"I was very depressed after negative situation happened in my life, not to mention I had no job and didn't get out of bed. I went to a psychiatrist whom then prescribed me Zoloft. After about a few months of him increasing my dose, I told him I stopped taking it because it did not work/help (I told him each time he increased the dose). Unfortunately he told me he couldn't help me anymore.
         Thankfully, I found a different doctor ( APRN). The first day we met she decided to give me a sample of Brintellix (10mg). I LOVED it and how it has changed my life! Everyone saw a huge difference too! I'm a completely different person, with no depression. Also my anxiety has dropped tremendously."


"Really helped, but if you are on methadone or extremely high levels of narcotics ask a doc first. My sister who was on 200mg of methadone a day took a 8-2 suboxone and she went into withdrawal. I was eating tabs, perks and o. C's and finally decided to try the suboxone. Well 1yr later I am free from the searching, sickness and hassles. I love them."


"TERRIBLE!!!!!! I just got mine removed today & switched to an IUD. I had it for 3 years and my experience was horrible! I gained about 60lbs, very emotional and always crying, my hair fell out and is extremely thin now, and I would come on my period 3 times a month. The only thing I will say is that my boyfriend and I were very careless with our sex and I never got pregnant so it for sure works well. But no, I don't recommend !!! "


"I have been taking opiates for years. It started with lortab then oxycodone and finally heroin. It ended up taking my brothers life at 36 years old. He left a wife and 4 beautiful children. Suboxone has been a miracle for me. I'm in the process of tapering off through my doctor. I'm looking forward to that day. What a blessing."


"This drug saved me today!  always had insane anxiety over public speaking... today gave a presentation to 100 physicians.... my heart was racing and palms were sweating as I stepped onto the stage.... 10 seconds into my presentation all nerves faded away and I rocked it! I was totally in control of my breathing  and speaking pace. Received applause at the end not to mention complements from my colleagues who never heard me present. I was EXTREMELY nervous and might have overdosed slightly as I took 120 mg... during the 4 hours before my presentation I was experiencing serious anxiety about the speech and drug not working.... but boy did it work! This  treatment really works!"


"First drug to work for me in 30 years."


"After taking doxycycline for a while, my body became resistant to it, so my dermatologist switched me to Keflex for acne. I think I had at least five bowel movements the first day. Eventually, my digestive system became somewhat regular, but then I started getting headaches on a regular basis. It cleared up my acne somewhat, but it was definitely not worth all the side effects. "


"works good"


"I like the medication, I feel better but not 100% anxiety free. What I like about it is that now my mood is stable and I am happier and most of chocolate craves are gone. I still worry about things here and there but is much better than it used to. I can say that I feel just like my old self (happy and full of life)."


"46 year old UK male; slim, above average fitness, eats well. Tried 3 different statins with same intolerable brain fog, muscle pains and palpitations over a 3 year period.

1st injection: mild muscle pains in my back, cold legs and feet, morning glory, a little brain fog, looser stools.
2nd injection: similar effects to the 1st but 50% less strong, except the morning glory and looser stools.
3rd injection: mild brain fog for an hour (starting about 2 hours after taking), cold feet, looser stools still.

Not had bloods tested yet, but if LDL comes down I'd be very happy to stay on Praluent based on these minor side effects.
Very hopeful about this convenient statin alternative."


"What a joke, the system.  It works 1/3 of the time.  I sniff with a straw."


"Taking the drug for angina and hypertension for about 3 weeks. It appears that the drug has begun to 'kick in' and my blood pressure has fallen, I have not experienced any chest pain in the last 2 weeks."


"I've been using Yaz for 3 years now, I haven't had much side effects, I've had spotting on the odd time but other then that this is a very effective birth control. Everyone reacts differently to birth control though you just have to find the one that fits you. "


"I had previously been on Errin for 1 year. After switching pharmacies, they gave me the generic version, Jolivette. I'm finishing up my first pack this week. While on Errin, I had two periods a month (aggravating, I know!) but it was just like clockwork. After starting Jolivette, I had my first period during my second week but did not start on my fourth week like I did with Errin. Called my doctor and she told me that even though they are essentially the same drug, they can affect you differently. She told me to give it a few months to work itself out. The only complaint I would have so far, is how ridiculously pregnant it makes you feel. I had very sore and tender breast for almost 2 weeks and irregular periods! Time will tell!"


"I took way too many vitamin C tablets and it gave me explosive diarrhea. :("


"I was prescribed Zomig by my Neurologist, I have severe headaches. After taking it, it would kick-in in  about 30 minutes and the pain would go away. However, after taking sumatriptan instead of this, it wouldn't work as fast as it did before and I had to wait for hours before it would be completely gone. It works great though!"


"I have been taking this medication for panic and anxiety  with great success but I wonder why it is not listed for this?"


"I started taking brintellix March 2015, almost 1 year and I feel great. I was very scared at first and skeptical to take brintellix. But, I can honestly say it changed my life. I started taking 10mg first few months. Then my doctor switched to 20mg....I have my energy and focus back and couldn't be happier. at that certain time of the month for women are difficult with anxiety but after it goes away."


"I've been on this med for a while now. The first month was really hard, I didn't see any changes. In fact I felt as bad or worse than before , But by the second month  I started to feel better. For me I've noticed that if I take it during the day I have a headache feel fatigued and nauseas and sometimes hot too. So I make sure to take it at night before bed. There are two things I don't care for about this med though: the cost and the weight gain!"


"Took Lo Loestrin Fe for about 18 months - during the first month or two I experienced some spotting and bleeding between periods, but after that my period stopped completely.  I didn't mind it, because I was very good at taking it at the same time every day.

I went off the pill a month ago and my period returned 5 weeks after stopping the pill."


"Fast acting. Works every time."


"An absolutely excruciating sharp pain in my shoulder woke me up..so severe I cried for my wife to take me to the ER at 3am.  Turned out to be a pinched nerve in the neck sending pain to the shoulder.  A prescription for Metaxalone was given that I got filled along with Naproxen.

The Metaxalone works very well for me.  I split the pills into two halves and use when it feels like the shoulder pain will flare up.

No "loopyness" or drowsiness.  I am a 24 year recovering alcoholic and this medication works well."


"I got diagnosed with chondromalacia in both knees 7 years ago. Fast forward to the present, it's now osteoarthritis in both knees and clearly visible on xray. I got the Orthovisc shots for the first time this month. The shots are rather unpleasant, sure, but they are totally worth it. Your knees will be rather sore for the next 24 hours, but it's tolerable. I'm extremely pleased with the results. I had been taking Voltaren for a few years, and that only alleviated the worst of the symptoms. The stiffness from sitting long periods or waking up in the morning is almost completely gone. Stairs no longer hurt. I still have to ice my knees and experience some stiffness after workouts. Nothing will bring my old knees back, I guess."


"I have been on Ocella now for over 2 years.  Like many of you I was taking Yasmin and it was switched and I wasn't told but noticed it before I took it.  I called my pharmacy just to make sure this was the right medicine and it was.  I haven't had any problems except for one.  I have a low sex drive.  I'm 26 years old and I honestly thought my body changed after having 2 children.  I did not know this was a possible side effect. Other than that I love it.  My periods are regular, lighter, and come on time.  I have no cramps and my skin cleared up.  I was also not aware of Ocella switching to a name brand drug.   "


"It really helps me control my mood.  I normally take one to two every day depending on what is happening.  For example, I completely blew up at my girlfriend the other day over something completely stupid, took one of these, and my anger was gone.  It really helps."


"I'm a 48 year female with hypertension in the 160/95 - 190/100 range.  I am sensitive to a lot of medicines. The 5 mg of Bystolic fluctuated my Blood Pressure from 113/60 to 190/100 and it was never constant.  My heart rate also slowed to 42.  I had to pretty much drop my exercise routine due to the unpredictability.  I also had bouts of confusion, generally feeling removed from the things around, almost a surreal feeling.  After almost 3 weeks of it I am going off of it.  I can barely function in my job.  I was switched to Tekturna today and hope that the side effects are reduced and that I can function clear headed again.  It may be great for others but not for me."


"Love it, it helps ease my severe neck pain, haven't had any side effects yet."


"I recently got Implanon put in and I could not love it more. I've never been on birth control before but this one is amazing. I never had bad periods before but I was just a moody person. Since getting Implanon I've been in a much better mood. It was painless and left hardly any bruising. It was free for me and I couldn't be happier. I haven't gained weight, which I was hoping I would. I'm thinking of when I get it taken out getting I'll have another put in. It is so nice not having to worry anymore. I suggest this birth control to everyone just give it a try! They say it looks scary getting put in but I simply turned my head, and it went by so fast. Implanon is my miracle drug, my sex drive has INCREASED and I'm happy."


"Tresiba in three weeks what Lantus 40 units  couldn't, lower blood sugar and have me at normal 120-125. Love it."


"Definitely assists with relief from persistent coughing after sinus or cold symptoms."


"I take 8 mg a day.  2 mg morning and noon and 4 mg in the evening. Effective in spasm relieve and perfect for the night, before  that I was constantly tired, but unable to rest at night of discomfort  and  pain in the neck. Now I am alive during the day with some exceptions, an hour after I take 2 mg pill I feel sleepy if I am relaxed. But if I am outside or active sleepiness goes away. That is not applied for 4 mg, after this does I am out."


"I've had lifelong insomnia. My dad will tell you stories about all the nights he sat up rocking me because I didn't sleep. I've tried every over the counter remedy from melatonin, to valerian root, to sleepy time tea, to benedryl, to calms forte... nothing works for longer than 3 days at most, and it still takes hours to fall asleep. I've tried prescription sleep aids, and Lunesta has been by far the most useless of them all. It doesn't make me even a little bit sleepy. It does, however, leave the most foul taste in my mouth. It tastes like I've been sucking on an old penny and chewing the white part of a grapefruit peel. And it doesn't go away with brushing or mouthwash, it's just in your saliva forever."


"It controlled the numbness and worked well for a long time. I developed a problem consisting of no appetite and constant nausea, especially an upset stomach after taking my evening dose. I switched to Lyrica and my problems went away."


"I have tried Synthroid 150mcg, felt sick and muscle pain for 4-5 years until I tried Nature-Throid.  I am living a totally different life since Nature-Throid."


"I have been on this medication for about 4 years due to Ankylosing spondylitis and I find it pretty effective.  However, I have found that this medication caused unexpected side effects.  It was pointed out to me that shortly after taking a dose, I undertake massive projects that I normally wouldn't, become extremely talkative, insomnia and motivation that wasn't there originally.  I was diagnosed as being bipolar a year ago and these are all symptoms of the "hypermania" aspect of Bipolar disorder.  My doctor has found that Ultram put me in a "manic state" and when the medication begins to wear off I tend to become anxious and agitated.  There are studies reflecting this online. I would not recommend this medication if you are bipolar."


"I'm a teacher in Japan and caught the flu from my students. I have never felt more sick in my whole life - pounding head, nausea, chills, muscle aches and weakness. Every step was agony, to the point where I was crying like a baby. The doctor gave me Tamiflu and also something to bring down the temperature. Within a few hours of taking the initial dose, the most severe of the symptoms had disappeared. It's day three and now it just feels like I have a bad cold. I didn't get nausea like some other people, and my first dose was on an empty stomach. Everyone must be different. For those worried about nausea, my suggestion is asking the doctor to give you an anti-nausea medication to take with the Tamiflu."


"Took Sudafed today and decided to try Mucinex D tonight for the congestion medicine in it.  My sinuses are feeling less pressure but it's 2:00 am and I haven't slept a wink and the way my heart is racing I doubt I will.  This should definitely be a daytime only medication."


"I was put on this bc to prevent pregnancy. I guess I should preface this review by saying I was off hormonal bc for almost 4 years, so my reaction could have been, in part, due to that fact. I was only able to take this bc for 4 days. The first thing I noticed was the nausea, and the ill feeling I had throughout the whole day. I couldn't eat, my appetite decreased a lot. It made my anxiety 3x worse, and it also made me depressed to the point where it was getting crippling, and I couldn't go through the day without feeling like I needed to cry, at the most random times. I read some people saying they had a feeling of dread while taking this bc. I had that too. I had the worst insomnia I've had in my life. worst bc I've ever taken!"


Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

"Rash, goosebumps even when hot, odd blood pressure swings, scalp tingling and other problems.  Was taken off it fairly quickly."


"My first was fine no problems at all. My second implant well  day to day headaches, feeling low and put on 2 stone in 9 months. No energy, bleeding every 2 weeks was not what I wanted. I'd rather have my tubes tied... please be aware not all implants are the same. You may have a good 3 years but the next one could be horrible"


"I am 29 female. I was put on this drug 150mg for a year and within that year I have put on 4 stone and my cholesterol is really high. I am fed up with the weight gain and feeling tired all the time my physciatrist is eventually taking me off this and wants to try venlafaxine I dont know if that will help with my depression but I will give it a go I also take 45mg mirtazapine at night which also helps me sleep. I feel like I have no motivation to do anything. I also have started to cutt out foods to help me loose weight. I feel like all I do is sleep and feel in a fog with twitches and no energy."


"I am 40 years old, have never had any kids and have had Mirena for 10 months now. Insertion was uncomfortable but not painful.  Cramping after wards was only slightly more than past period cramping.  Periods are now light spotting but almost non-existent. I was a moody person before but do not feel as if I am even more so now.  I did not experience the acne and lost my job last year so contributed to the weight gain since not being as active. I wanted to try this birth control since I am an on/off again smoker and do not plan to have any children. I would recommend it to women to try and see how their body reacts to it. Other reviews helpful especially the ultrasound tip before re-insertion."


"I have taken lamotrigine for about 5 weeks.  I tapered from nefazodone to lamotrigine over the course of 3 weeks.  I am currently at 100 mg of lamotrigine.  I was feeling better than I have ever felt in my entire life for about 2 weeks, now I am back to where I was before.  No, I was not feeling manic during those 2 weeks but I felt that my anxiety had been greatly reduced and I had a true appreciation for life.  I feel a bit cheated that I got to feel normal for once in my life and then poof it is gone.  I kind of knew that it  was too good to be true or to last.  Oh well"


"My PM doc ran me through the gamut of long acting pain killers before settling on OxyContin.  When I started seeing this PM doc I had been taking 15 mg oxycodone (IR)  6 times a day and he told me we needed to get me on a long acting medicine. We tried Exalgo, Opana, Avinza, Nucynta, and Exalgo again. They all seemed to provide adequate pain relief, just not for the amount of time they claim to.  Back to old faithful.  OxyContin /oxycodone hasn't failed. me yet."


"My urine flow improved within just a few hours after the first dose.  However, although I have somewhat of a climax during sex, there is no ejaculation, just totally dry, a weird feeling.  Also, after a couple of days I noticed nasal congestion.

This is my first medication for BPH, so I must decide if the treatment is worse than the cure.  One thing for sure, this could be the first real male contraceptive to hit the market!"


"Mood swings 8-10x @day very bad to to the point checking out hit me 4-5 x @ day.NO THANKS keep it nucynta def not for me.?"


"Started phen mid May 2015 I lost 51 pounds as of October 29 2015 185 only 50lbs. and I will be at my goal . I would recommend this for anyone having trouble lossing weight on their own. Yes you will get dry mouth I always bring a bottle of water with me and it helps . I have lost my taste for most carbs and my appetite has shrunk. I look forward to doctors appointments the more I loss the lower my blood pressure goes my other goal is to get off blood pressure meds. Go back to doctors 12/2015 I'm hoping for big numbers.

I use discount card at Rite Aid and price goes from $40.00 a month to 25.80 a month."


"I have been using Levsin SL for many years for Crohns (severe spasms). It is very effective.  Two years ago I started having severe spasms and leg cramps due to some unknown disease that is effecting my legs. I have constant pain in my leg muscles and long bones.  I also have severe leg spasms/cramps at night. I discovered one night when having both colon and leg spasms that the Levsin SL stopped the leg muscle spasms.  I discussed with my doctor and I started using at night to treat my leg spasms.  The spasms are quite severe with a pain level of up to 9 out of 10.  Levsin is the only medication that I have found that is effective.  The half-life for me is around 2-2.5 hours."


"I have suffered with allergies and asthma all my life and have tried every eye drop on the market I was sick to death of having watery itchy red sore and uncomfortable eyes with conjunctivitis like discharge. I tried these drops and I swear they are incredible. It's been 2 days and my eyes feel brand new I'm on a combination of flarex 0.1 a steroid drop for a couple of weeks, olapatadine twice a day and systane ultra every couple of hours as my eyes are very dry. AMAZING WORTH EVERY CENT"


"I got diagnosed with polycystic ovarian yndrome when I was 16. I'm now 31. I've been taking metformin 1000mg three times a day. I have lost 2 stones in 17 months. I still don't have a cycle & still get unwanted hair I get lots of wind & diarrhea when I've eaten sugary food so if your taking metformin watch your sugar intake."


"The absolute worst experience with an antiemetic I have ever had. I literally panicked in the hospital to the point I almost pulled my iv out. Zofran stopped working for my hyperemesis gravidum...but I would rather live with nausea vomiting day in and out then feel the uncontrolled anxiety and restlessness I felt with compazine!"


"I have smoked since I was 15 years old and am now 51, and just decided it was time to quit. My first week on Chantix, while still allowed to smoke, I decided to cut way back, just to see if I could, and it was a piece of cake. From 20 - 30 cigs a day down to 3 or 4. My quit date was 11/11/13 and it's been 8 days and no smoking! It's a miracle pill, but you have to want to quit or nothing is going to work. I now find myself going 1/2 day without even thinking about smoking and when I do think about it, I'm not even the slightest bit tempted to do it. I'm done with that nasty habit. Good luck to you too!"


"It has made a great difference in my fibromyalgia. A lot less pain and it has given me more energy. I have been able to do things I thought I would never do again."


"Very good so far. Not nearly as sedating as Seroquel. Maybe a little more hungry, but also much more active, cycling, long walks etc., which is good."


"I started taking Cymbalta one month ago and saw positive results almost immediately. I was injured in a rear end collision 18 years ago"


"Fine...a bit of nausea and headache to start im on the lowest dose. nothing else. made my bp optimal."


"I lost 110lbs in 2004 but regained a bit. Been at same weight for almost six years now.  I take Phentermine 37.5mg/day since 2004. In 2010 my doctor suggested we add Topamax to my daily dose of Phentermine. No weight loss and my hair began to fall out.  He had equally poor results with other patients. On 10/8 I was put on Belviq 10mg/day for 15 days ($0) before increasing dose to 20mg/day ($159).  10/8-10/17 no weight loss...thought I was a non responder but I wanted to stick it out for the 12 week trial. 10/17-11/7 down 4lbs. I feel GREAT and I changed nothing in my diet or exercise routine. 12/9 visit, down 10lbs. No wonder my doc was so excited to start using this. Thank you Belviq!"


"Takes away the pain now and back 10 yrs ago."


"The condom broke the day before I was supposed to start my period and I took Plan B One-Step an hour after the 'accident'.  I was very tired and sick to my stomach but after a good nights rest (10hours, which is unusually long for me) I felt much better, the cramps felt like I was being ripped in two and were so bad they caused diarrhea.  Then 5 days after taking the pill I started my period, I have never been so glad to bleed so much.  I bled for 5days and it was pretty heavy.  It worked great."


"I had my Skyla inserted today and had a GREAT experience!! I am a virgin and no kids...seriously had zero pain having this put in. I did insert a cytotec vaginally before my appointment, and I took 800mg of ibuprofen 45 minutes before. I think the key is making sure you have a doctor you trust insert it, I work with my doctor and I have seen her insert many IUDs and she always does a fantastic job so that's why I chose her and I'm so glad I did. Right now (3 hours after insertion) I'm lying on the couch with a heating pad and minor cramping. Just feels like I'm about to start my period. I can't wait to see how this does for me."


"I used this product every time I get a yeast infection and it works very well for me. I've never had burning from it but I would prefer the pill better because the creams does run down if you don't sleep right after you use it."


"I noticed pain relief right away using this medicine, along with my other pain meds. A good medicine for inflammation."


"I LOVE LUPRON. I have stage 4 endometriosis and Lupron has been AWESOME. I have only had one side effect hot flashes, which I do not mind at all, they only come twice a day and last for up to 2 minutes. Hopefully me and my husband can have intercourse without pain. I'm 23 years old."


"Amazing! I have been on Contrave for 5 weeks and have lost over 15lbs so far. I have no cravings, I dont feel hungry and all side effects have gone away. I have two other conditions that have always prevented me from losing any weight through diet and exercise alone. Losing 3 lbs a week for me is like 10-15 lbs per week for some people. I hope more people struggling with weight loss and obesity try Contrave, I am on my way to being a healthy weight and my mood and energy have been great!"


"I love this birth control! I've been on it for 2 years haven't a had an issue. I put it on my pelvis and switch sides every week. If I put it anywhere else, my pants would rub it off, or my shirt or bra strap would. Mild skin irritation occurs, besides that, I highly recommend it."


"I have had FMS for 4 years but was not officially diagnosed until 1 year ago.  Since that time I have taken several  medications. My Doctor and I are trying to find which drug or combination of drugs will help.  I took Lyrica for 5 months and had some serious side effects, 40lbs weight gain, swelling in my hands, feet and ankles, blurred vision. I was not pain free and the cost per month was half of my rent."


"This medication was very effective at reducing my muscle spasms and relieving my pain.  However it made me VERY drowsy and also constipated, so I suggest this mediation only if your muscle spasms are severe and you are using it on a short term basis."


"Aleve worked great for my big toe gout. The trick is in the right dose for your situation. Woke up at 2am with burning pain in my big toe. Took 550mg of Aleve and was back to sleep in about 1 hour. Went to 220mg 3x day and feel 95% better. Keep it on hand. You won't be sorry. Oh! And no side effects."


"I absolutely love Nexplanon. After just two months on it, I stopped having my period and haven't noticed any changes with my body. I haven't gained any weight, no cramping, and no worries about taking a pill at the same time everyday! I think it worked so well because I was on the pill for 3 years prior so my body is used to hormones and regular cycles. Not that the pill was terrible but I am never going back!"


"So far so good. It has been about three weeks. Only real symptoms have been a decrease libido and weight loss (I've been eating the same amounts/foods and haven't increased exercise but have lost 2-3 pounds)"


"It works! Took it like 20 mins after we had unprotected sex. I was so worried I cried and prayed. 12 days after I got my period I was so relieved.Trust me it works. They say that it doesn't work for overweight people but it does I'm 195lbs."


"I'm happy to see that this drug has worked for some but it certainly did not work right for me.  After the initial days getting it into my system I started crying for no reason multiple times a day.  I figured I was just getting used to it and stuck with it through the dosage increase. The following day I basically cried all day and had suicidal thoughts that I just could not seem to get out of my head.  My Dr had me stop taking it immediately and we performed a genomind DNA test to see which drugs would work for me. Vrylar showed up on the "High Risk" list along with a number of other anti-psychotics.  Unfortunately my list of treatment options for Bipolar I is not very long."


"I started out being prescribed lorazapam for anxiety. Which works wonders for me. I also have chronic nausea with unknown cause and I noticed that when I feel really nauseated whether its from anxiety or some other reason it completly takes it away! It is truly a miracle medicine for me. Only down fall is it can be addictive and if I  take it daily on a consistent basis. I did notice when I don't take it I get shaky all through my body which is not a nice feeling at all and my head gets dizzy and just a weird feeling. I would definitely recommend lorazapam to anyone who suffers from anxiety, nervousness or nausea. It is wonderful!"


"This pill caused hair loss and fatigue. I noticed the side effects by the middle of week one. By the end of week 2 you could see patches of missing hair. I stopped using it at the end of week 2."


"Depression got worse..I gained 16 pounds in less than three months and I had very elevated liver enzymes..please be careful with this medication"


"This is my second review, last time I commented I was at 205 LBS and 11 LBS lost in two weeks.  At third weigh in on 2/22/14 I lost another 4 LBS and now weight 201lbs.  I went from 216 to 201 in 3 weeks.  I would say yes, phentermine definitely works to curb my appetite.  My next weigh in is March 1, 2014.  I hope to be under 200 (fingers crossed).  I don't want to get my hopes up since I've already lost "a lot" for the first month according to my Doc."


".05 mg of clonazepam is not very much at all, and it kicks in slowly. The stuff is pretty harmless.  It's a  pharmacokinetically safe drug, but it will eliminate 100% inhibition, so if you're prone to violence stay away. It doesn't even compare to Alprazolam."


"Began taking this a month ago for heavy periods and cysts. Not sure if I want to start the second pack after having an ocular migraine for 4 days. I take this like clockwork every night. Haven't had a period yet, no other side effects. Not sure if it's worth it, migraine or massive heavy periods? I'd almost rather have to wear 2 pads than be out for 4 plus days and counting with this migraine."


"I was prescribed Sprintec because of longer than usual periods- I had three that lasted up to 11 days each. I started Sprintec 24 days ago, on the day my period started, and it hasn't ended yet. I've never missed a pill. I didn't get acne or nausea or mood swings or weight gain, but a 24 day long period (and counting) is definitely not what I signed up for. I'm going back to my doctor to switch off it immediately."


"For years I felt depressed and shy and had anxiety but was too young to understand and definitely too shy to say anything . As I got older I decided to talk to my doctor on how I was feeling . After a few years on and off of anti depressants feeling so sick I couldn't take them anymore. And now I'm 21 I have been on Paxil for about  6 months. The first month was really hard because I felt so nauseous and shaky and heart kept racing and was extremely tired . But I fought through it all . And today for the first time I feel alive , happy , loved and most importantly I feel like myself and how I should have felt along time ago. Please do not drink on this medication or any other anti depressants. It will definitely slow the process down ."


"I started Tazorac on February 17, 2017. I had bad acne on my cheeks, and tiny bumps on my forehead. 4 weeks into Tazorac yes it did get worse. I didn't want to go to school or even go out with friends and family ! So, I went back to my dermo and he told me to keep my head up and that Tazorac was purging my skin and bringing everything to the surface. Slowly but surely, MY FACE LOOKS AMAZING !! It's May 13, 2017 and I barely have anything on my face and it's as smooth as a baby's bottom. If you're going through the purging stage I know what you are going through but I promise to stick with it and just know that the Tazorac is getting all the gunk out of your skin !! stay positive, drink water, use tazorac !!"


"7 months in severe hand pain wakes me up at night. Hands weakening grip ibuprofen doesn't help using phone and computer mouse horrible. Just switched to Aromasin."


"I am writing this for girls who have Crohn's disease and a low immune system due to the medications for Crohn's. I was on a very low dose birth control and it simply was not for me! I became very depressed, I bled during sex as well as experienced a lot of discomfort and had spotting for the entire 8 months I was on it. I got the Paragaurd inserted  two months ago. I really have to say I love it and I am glad I made the decision to get one !

I only had periods that lasted 3 days with no cramps and so far I have only experienced cramps one week before and after my period and have not required any ibeprofen. If you think you are a good candidate try it out. It's been great"


"I have had great success taking Ultram ER 100mg once a day and 300mg gabapentin 3 x day. They seem to cancel each other's side effects out. "


"This medication is the only one out of so many that have been prescribed over all the years that I have suffered with my condition.  (Severe degenerative bone disease, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, etc.) The negative effect I experience is constipation for which I use Benefiber."


"When administered properly by the Detox/Rehab program and taken right by the patient this drug is a God send. I was addicted to I.V. use of Morphine and its varieties such as Dilaudid. I have been clean for 3 years now and methadone has done wonders for me. I was at my peak on 120mg daily and now after several months of monitored decreases I am down to 9 mg daily and feel great. On the other side though, there are also a large number of people in the program who, while they can't get the high from morphine, replace it with cocaine. This is a common practice and the cause of many deaths. The use of methadone as a cessation aid is a two way street. There has to be equal work done by the client and the program."


"I ended up having a very bad experience with Viibyrd, due to its drug interactions with Xanax I'm taking for anxiety. The first month was wonderful though. After the first dose, I felt amazing; I felt calm, content, and had energy to get through my day. It did give me nausea sometimes, so I had to make sure I ate a big breakfast to avoid that.

Things started to get bad during the second month. My mood wasn't as amazing as before & some suicidal thoughts came back. Then, I began experiencing hallucinations— visual, closed-eyed, even musical. It was pretty horrifying and made my depression and anxiety TREMENDOUSLY worse altogether. My doc immediately took me off Viibyrd & switched to Celexa.

Viibryd co-pay was also very expensive."


"The side effects of this drug were so harsh I didn't stick around for its alleged benefits, i.e. seizure prevention. "


"I have been on Lyza for about 7 months now and I hate it. I literally am bleeding most of the month, and it's definitely not a normal period. I called my provider and they said it takes about 6 months for it to get regular again but I don't see that happening. My mood swings are horrible and I feel really anxious and depressed. Do not recommend this to anyone!"


"Not good at all. I just started my 3 pack and I'm taking myself off of it. Experience has been horrible. I've had unbelievable mood swings since the start. Major breast tenderness, my PMS starts about 2 weeks early. Lots of chin acne. Nausea every single night. Slight weight gain. But my worst side effect is my hair started falling out. Literally in clumps. I have very very thick hair and it's noticeably thinner. My mother noticed just by looking at my hair line and my hairdresser also confirmed it was significantly thinner. Unfortunately I have to be on a birth control otherwise I have to many issues without it, however I've taken myself off of this and thrown away my last pack. I know pills work different for everyone but I would not reco"


"I have been on birth control pills for about 10 years now, and I REALLY don't like this one. I switched from Lomedia 24 because I wasn't getting periods, which made me a little nervous. I have been on this pill for 4 months now and I consistently get my period on the 9th day of the pack and it lasts between 5-7 days, which is really long for an oral contraceptive. I normally have nice skin and it has gone completely to hell - pimples and cystic acne on the lower half of my face. I also experienced a serious increase in appetite, which I have never experienced on a pill. I gave this pill a fair chance, but I'm getting back on my old pill next month. I gave this a 3/10 because I haven't gotten  pregnant."


"I first tried Paxil in 2003, after trying everything and I do mean every antidepressant on the market. I couldn't believe in less than a week I was already feeling relief. My mistake: I kept going on and off of it. It eventually stopped helping. So for 3 years I went on Celexa, which helped less than Paxil but more than others. Recently I began getting severe generalized anxiety dsorder along with my Depression. I finally decided to give the Paxil a try again since so much time had lapsed since I'd been on it. Well...it worked again. Feeling better than I have in a long time. Message: Everybody is different so Paxil won't work for all. But if it does you..STAY ON IT. Don't try the on and off thing. Good Luck!"


"At first, the acne went away and I was super excited, but then after the first week I began to grow huge acne all over my chin and jaw. I am taking two pills a day and the side effects are bad but I am willing to stick it out because in the end it should hopefully work. Its only on area where I get the pimples so I guess we will see how the next weeks go."


"In the fourth month of using the patch, and my first time on hormonal birth control. I'm mid 40s, never smoked, slightly high blood pressure but my doctor didn't think it would cause further elevation. I really like it. It's not as cheap as a generic pill, but wonderful not to worry about missing a dose. The patch sticks on fine, and adhered again well if caught on a slipped bra strap when I wore on my outer arm. I'm now wearing on my butt and it's fine. It will leave a mark that doesn't easily come off for days and is prone to picking up lint on the sides, but I am okay with that. No weight gain, moodiness or other issues. May have had a pimple or two in the first months, short nausea with the very first application, and heavier periods with additional but slight cramping. My sex drive dropped for a time but has returned to normal and I have no problems there. I think I feel a bit low emotionally the week it's off. Overall, no concerns I can't live with, and I love the easy protection and confidence of seeing it on."


"Taking this as prescribed from my dr to help with PCOS. Instructions state to start on day 1 of period or Sunday start. Because my period started after Sunday, I opted for day 1 start. Well I’m into the reminder pills and still bleeding. Not spotting - bleeding, full on, need a tampon bleeding. And I’m now starting to really feel the effects of the mood swings and almost depressive state. Anybody else have the constant bleeding?"


"Started strattera (atomoxetine) after trying concerta as doctor said the non-stimulant might suit me better than the stimulant medication. The side effects of this drug were not as bad as taking the stimulant but after being on it for over 3months, the only benefit i noticed was improved sleep. Sleep through for like 7 hours where as before was waking up several times throughout the night. Generally felt weird taking this drug and had increased anxiety. Can't say that it helped any of my ADHD symptoms, actually made them worse maybe partly due to increased anxiety therefore doctor has taken me off it."


"I was on 10 mg for seasonal affectional disorder. The medicine did a good job. I found that I could not have any caffeine while on this medicine. In March I was able to reduce to 5 mg in preparation of going off when the time changes (days are longer). I noticed I was having side effects just cutting down.  I was achy all over. After about 4 days I happen to have a green tea with ginseng. Within a half hour of drinking it, the achiness was gone. I tried reg coffee the next day. No achiness but had to watch jitters.  I don't know if this will help anyone else but it did me"


"I've just had the copper coil fitted an hour ago. I thought I'd share my experience as I read so many stories about the coil and the effects and it made me so nervous to go.

I'm 20 years old and haven't had any children (doctors mention it's less uncomfortable if you have had kids)

Firstly, she clamped me open and measured me up (look up the process if you don't know what I'm going on about) this was slightly uncomfortable, but very bearable. She then pinched on my cervix which wasn't painful at all. Then the coil was placed. The whole process took 6-7 minutes. It wasn't painful just slightly uncomfortable. But I'm very satisfied and just suffering with a bit of cramping. But the paracetamol has sorted me out. Overall 10/10 experience!"


"Suffered migraines for many years getting them once a week or more, Doctor prescribed Imigran, at onset, not much use when you are sick with them, anyway, I was told I had hypertension, prescribed Amlodpine, 5 MG initially and then 10MG! Almost immediately the migraine were gone, I changed blood pressure medication once on the advice of my Doctor, the migraines came back with two days, back on Amlodipine for me, no more migraine, I went to the pharmacist who explained why it works in this way, I would recommend. Miracle stuff."


"I'm 19 and I have been taking Loestrin 24 for almost a month.  My periods used to be moderately heavy with a lot of cramping and would last at least 7 days.  I started my period on a Friday and started taking the pill on the next Sunday.  My period stopped before the end of the next day.  I have experienced a little nausea.  One day my stomach hurt so bad I thought I was going to puke.  It has also made me more depressed and moody.  Another complaint I have is the time between my periods.  It used to be so regular, 28 days every time.  I just started my period after only 24 days.  I am not happy about this at all, it ruined my vacation.  Other than this, no other side effects.  No acne, weight gain, or anything else I've noticed."


"Was given an im injection in the buttocks for migraines and it was completely ineffective. The pain that the injection caused was infuriating considering there was absolutely no relief of the headache."


"Before taking this medication, I thought I'd look up reviews to check for any side or long term effects caused by this medicine. I was terrified after reading so many bad reviews, but decided to take the medication regardless because I figured the medication would do me more good than harm. It's been about a year since I've been on levothyroxine 50mg and I must admit - I had never felt better! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 19 and started this medication quickly after. My levels are normal and I can definitely notice the significant change in my health and everyday life. I am back to being happy and enjoy going out, not like before. No more headaches or fatigue. Thank God for this awesome medication. I recommend it 100% of the way!"


"I was first prescribed a combination pill Amlodipine-Benazepril 10/20mg and after 29 days of taking it I suffered an allergic reaction called Angieodema (Face swelled up)  and it turns out I'm allergic to Benazepril. I went 4 days with no medication and on the 4th day had a dizzy spell at work pressure was 150/118. Dr. called in a new prescription of just Amlodipine 10mg, it's only been 7 days so maybe it's not enough time. However my pressure spiked today to 154/120!!! I feel Great however, I don't have any muscle cramps. I did experience a rapid heart beat a few days ago. My concern is maybe the mg's are too low. Dr is saying to wait 2 weeks to get full effect of the pill. I will update in 2 weeks."


"My  16 year old dughter was prescribed this medicine and after two doses became exhausted. She could not remember anything she learned in school. Said it was effortful to walk, although she walked normally.  She described herself as feeling like she was in a dream state. I discontinued the drug and within 24 hours she felt normal."


"I had an on going vaginal yeast infection for about 6 weeks. I tried 7 day monistat and it provided a few days of relief and then it was right back and even worse. So I did another 7 day round and by day 3 it was burning so bad to use it so I just stopped. I gave in and went to the Dr and he prescribed diflucan one dose and I took that, had no relief until he 3rd night. Felt totally normal for almost 48 hours and then the symptoms came right back and are even worse now. Hoping that even though it's my 5th day into treatment that it will be gone by day 7. Maybe I will just need another dose but as of right now I'm not happy with diflucan."


"Not a good fit for me. Did not alleviate my symptoms and increased thoughts of death and feeling of hopelessness. Also experienced chronic urinary tract infections."


"I had a foot fracture 10 months ago and had my screw removed three months ago. I cannot take oral NSAIDS because of a stomach problem. I was taking lortab every day, one or two, in the later part of the day to make it through. I used one inch of Votaren Gel where I have the residual arthritis and covered it and taped it. After two hours I went for a walk and was able to walk farther in the same amount of time and without as bad of a limp. This morning my foot was tender. I don't think I will use it when my foot is really sore. I have learned to back off or pay for it the next day. There is always a trade off when I try to medicate this kind of pain."


"I have not had a period from the first shot. I had ZERO side effects and lost 5 lbs. I think it is an amazing product."


"Bonine is a miracle if you are bothered by motion sickness. I take a caffeine pill, with Bonine to combat drowsiness. The combination of the two, is a winner for me."


"I have Shift Work Disorder and SLE Lupus; this caused a Lupus flare up.  "It woke up the monster!"  Please have your doctors communicate amongst each other.  Nuvigil is a stimulant."


"Mirapex has worked like a miracle for me. I can go on long trips again without constant leg "stretching/wiggling/massaging/exercising/deep-knee-bending" to take away the terrible sensations in my legs!

I also do not "twitch" and "kick" in bed, like I used too."


"I started Saxenda in April 2016.  I immediately noticed that I had no craving for food.  I felt full quicker and ate less.  Total weight loss 36 pounds.  I was paying out of pocket and stopped after 5 months.  While taking it I felt great, with relief from other physical issues I had. Within 2 weeks of stopping Saxenda my appetite was returning and the food cravings were back.   I am aware of the fact that I have to manage my diet.  This is a great drug, but unless it can be taken on a regular basis, it's temporary.  Since stopping I am up 4 pounds."


"I had been a smoker since I was 12 years old (serious smoker by age 16). I really enjoyed smoking and I never thought I would be able to quit. I had tried Nicorette, quitting cold turkey, Zyban and laser therapy - nothing worked. I always ended up going back.  I tried Chantix, and within 4 to 5 days noticed that I didn't have the craving any longer, and was forgetting to smoke. I have not smoked in 10 months - not even one cheat! I did visit with my doctor after a month, because I was worried about the side effects of depression. I stayed on the medication for 3 full months. By week 6, I cut the dosage in half, as I was having trouble with insomnia, & weened myself off the dosage at the end. The dreams are entertaining, the gas can be bad."


"I am a 29 year old female who has suffered from severe acne vulgaris all my life and was recently diagnosed. I used everything known to man and when I finally saw a dermatologist he prescribed me this as well as a face wash.  The first two weeks I had experienced redness, peeling, pain, hot to touch skin (I used cocoa butter to soothe it) just as the doctor said I would but later into the 3rd and 4th week and even now my skin is extremely clear and almost flawless. The difference expedited the shedding of my skin and caused the old dead scarred skin to peel off revealing new soft youthful and un-scarred skin. My skin is very beautiful now and I will continue to use this medicine until my acne subsides. Great product."


"On the twice a day for 7 days, by the end of the second day I got a horrible headache while working out at the gym. I rarely get headaches so I attribute it to the med. I also have loss of appetite and periodic Nausea. The worst is this damn headache that I have had since last night and is still lingering tonight. Hopefully it will go away tomorrow but I cannot wait until I complete the dosage. I'm not gonna quit early bc I don't want to have to take this again."


"Had unprotected sex, took the pill within 1hour and I didn't feel anything for about a week. We both got scared, he told me to take a pregnancy test, it came out negative of course. Then I got my period a week later from taking the pill and a week from I was supposed to get my period (it comes like clock work)."


"I am thrilled with Apri! I decided to try birth control again because of terrible pelvic pain probably due to my polycystic ovarian syndrome. Since starting Apri the pain is gone, completely! I was to the point where I was going to opt for laparoscopy just to find a reason and hopefully a cure for the pain but my doctor convinced me to give this a try and I'm glad I did!

Another bonus is that it helps with my depression and daily fatigue which was something I wasn't expecting. Add in the fact that I can take the active pills for multiple months straight means I'm feeling a thousand times more energetic than I did before Apri. But when I do switch to the white placebo pills I feel awful again for that week. Light periods too! Works for me."


"I took 10mg Belsomra for a few days and quit because it made me feel drugged and very sensitive to light. Besides that it never worked to make me fall asleep.

Also, after about 20 minutes of taking it I got a panic sensation and increased heart rate that lasted about 1-2 minutes.

Belsomra is a joke.

I went back to Ambien. At least it works and it doesn't give me side effects."


"I had Implanon inserted May 2013 and still have it in now (January 2015). There have been positives and negatives. Positives; I have not had a period since the insertion, I did not get pregnant, my arm was bruised for a day. Negatives; I have NO sex drive, have gained 35 pounds (rapidly) since the implant, I have slight mood swings and have been short tempered since starting this birth control method.  I have been on a strict diet for the last six months to lose weight and can not shed a pound. My Implanon days are numbered."


"I have been on Saxenda for just over 3 weeks and I have lost roughly 13lbs. I had some nausea with the first 2 doses but have been fine since. Only downside I will say is constipation. My "normal" cycle was never normal persay but it's been so much worse on this medication. It won't stop me from taking the medication though. I just have to figure out a way to get it under control. I have absolutely no appetite which is good and bad. Good because I won't overeat but bad because I don't eat and when I try to eat anything I feel nauseous. Either way though, I'm happy with the medication."


"Honestly, I hate to write these reviews because I feel like they can scare people; however, I have been on Seasonique for 2 months now and have had some weird side effects. I was on Yasmin for a year and had no side effects from the beginning. When I switched to Seasonique, I experienced some nausea which was normal. Then I started breaking out really bad, which for me was never an issue before and I'm 21 years old. The part that really concerns me is that I've had a heavy period for 3 weeks that started while going into the second month. My normal periods are light and 4 days. It has also been accompanied by severe headaches. On the upside, I did not gain weight and I am not pregnant. "


"I've had insomnia since my back surgery 2 years ago and tried several sleeping pills like Ambien and Lunesta. Edluar 10mg is the only one that works for me. I take it every night as long as I live."


"Garbage.  I didn't lose a pound.  I followed the program and it did nothing except cost me 150.00 in pills.  What a joke!"


"Been on it for a week now and lost 8 pounds already, only thing is I think my body is getting use to the pill because the first three days It was hard to eat and now I'm starting to crave food again."


"Today marks 6 months with my Liletta IUD...which I love. Insertion was painful, as expected, but nothing I couldn't handle. Cramping and spotting lasted a few days after...and for the first 4 months I spotted lightly for 8-10 days, always 28 days apart...so I tracked those times as my period. Very minimal cramping aside from  the early cramps due to insertion.  Didn't take long for the strings to soften and curl up so my partner could not feel them during intercourse. My side effects do include weight gain and a struggle to lose it despite consistent exercise and healthy eating, and dry skin, and bloating/constipation."


"I started taking Adipex-P 37.5 mg on July 17, 2010 at 252 lbs. It increased my energy level and suppressed my appetite a great deal. I did experience dry mouth at first but it subsided in a few days.  At a weigh in with my wonderful doctor on August 5, 2010 I lost 11 lbs.  My doctor started me with taking the medication for 2 months and then one month off until January 2012 and I now take the medication for 1 month and I'm off of it for 2 months.  I am hungrier when I'm off the medication but I have learned what portion sizes and types of foods to eat and have done pretty well maintaining.  You have to have determination and willpower for the rest of your life.  By the way, it's now April 7, 2012 and I weigh 148 lbs.  I have lost 104 lbs."


"Three days after receiving my first Prolia injection I developed a cough, which turned into bronchitis & was treated with antibiotics - bad luck, a coincident I thought. A month later my life change with severe bone pain in my right jaw, I had lock jaw 5 times. Pain in my right shoulder, ribs, my neck was so stiff, but worse was my lack of immobility, my morning walk to the bathroom was just like watching Frankenstein walk, I couldn't move any faster because of the pain. Getting on the toilet one off the toilet was a major event. Turning in bed was excruciating and sometimes impossible, this lasted the whole of the summer 2015, which eventually tampered off to where I am today. Worst experience of my life. No more Prolia for me."


"My pharmacy switched me to Gianvi a little over a year ago from Yaz. I had no negative side effects on Yaz (it was also the first birth control I've ever taken). Since switching to Gianvi, I get severe headaches that lasts 1-2 days a week before my period starts, which force me to sleep in bed all day. My periods also start early, late, and trail on for a few days after they're usually supposed to end. My acne cleared up at first, but recently it's only my acne medication, Benza-Clin, that clears up my face. (Yaz did the opposite of everything Gianvi does, despite it being the "generic" equivalent). I'm switching to a new birth control this week. I'm going to try Beyaz."


"Product works for me, was very dubious but decided to try it as a last ditch attempt before an FUE hair transplant.
Don't need a transplant now I am thrilled to say! New fine hairs started to grow after five weeks and didn't notice any shedding at all. Best to keep track with a shaving mirror. Now at three months and my old hairline is returning which is almost beyond belief! My only fear is that this progress will slow but I am keeping fingers crossed, things are looking good and the fine hairs are thickening and darkening."


"This little pill caused me to have worsening suicidal thoughts.  I was on edge and crying daily. This was only being on it for 3 weeks.  I do have to say it did help with fibro pain but made depression unbearable."


"First night is the worst, I felt like there was a million fire ants down there and I literally wanted to get a spoon and try and get it out, but helped reading other people's comments and laughing so hard i forgot the burning temporarily. Second and third night it gets way better, I barely felt anything at all so don't give up on the first night it's worth it trust me girls."


"Takes 4 hours to work and by then you need another dose. Since they took the other ingredient out, Benadryl and Wal-Dryl no longer work for me. Back to experimenting. No side affects, but not effective either."


"Alright ladies. I seriously suggest doing your research before using this product. My mother has used this product with no problems in the past, so when I got my first yeast infection this week, she had no reservations about getting this medication for me. Unfortunately I had to go to Urgent Care two days later, due to severe swelling and pain. The doctor knew immediately that I had taken Monistat and said that it is common that this product makes the infection much worse. So I guess if you feel like flipping a coin on whether or not you want a swollen vagina, by all means go ahead. Instead, I suggest you go to an Urgent Care center. The bill will not be ridiculous and the prescription cost me $8 at Walmart. Best of luck."


"Effective at stopping cough - gave me diarrhea."


"I took the liquid unison (50mg/30ml) at 6:45pm Then 7:45 pm came around so I took another dose It is now 7:52 pm I'm in a lot of pain and can't even go to sleep!! I would NOT recommend this to anyone!! I'm highly upset!"


"i recently went to see a doctor for weight loss! Before I even had a minute to fill out my paper on my history, he asks me what kind of pills I want? I was like (huh?), then he explained about adipex, when I say explained, all he said was take it once a day, diet , come see me in 30 days! I thought this was crazy, he told me to bring back my paper work Monday! ANYWAY, I took it as he prescribed one a day, for only two days and have to stop! I am a recovering alcoholic /addict, this crap gave me the exact same feeling as meth, in which I have not used in 15 years. I was high!! I cannot jeopardize my sobriety so I guess I'll stay fat! But this doctor maybe should have took 5 minutes with me to explain or ask something about me!"


"I started taking Prozac on Tuesday. I was very hesitant at first. I guess that was based on what I heard about dependency. I was severely depressed after a emotionally abusive relationship ended. I also terminated my pregnancy (my choice) and on top of that I am the single mother of a smart, energtic 7 year old. I guess everything was weighing heavily on me all at once. I had turned to marijuana. I have a stressful job on top of everything else. My issues involved worrying excessively, overthinking every little thing, crying spells, sleeping on my days off. I stopped doing things I used to enjoy. Scary. I never had any suicidal thoughts. I'm a few days in. Felt jittery one day but that's done. Definitely progressing. Miracle!!"


"I started taking contrave May 27th, I started at 217 lbs.. Three months later I'm 185 lbs. It has helped me with my binge eating! I do excersise every day and I am more thoughtful of what I eat. You have do work too, you can't sit on your sofa and eat junk and still think Contrave will help. I'm so glad I started taking Contrave! The side effects last about 2 weeks and they aren't so bad, I think most people are exaggerating about how bad the side effects are."


"This medicine did not make me sleepy at all. It made sexual urges come to the forefront so much that it affected my normal behavior. "


"Helped with some impulsive behaviors like fighting or just in general going off on people."


"I had my first panic attack in college and it changed my life forever.  I was initially put on Xanax to combat my anxiety, but it eventually took more and more doses to achieve the same affect.  Another doctor took me off of Xanax and put me on Klonopin, he explained that it is not as addictive and does not have the peaks and valleys that the prior drug has.  I would not get on highways, left hand turning lanes, big open spaces, or want to walk far away from my home.  Klonopin gave me my life back and allows me to function as normally as possible.  I still have some issues but for the most part I can lead a productive life.  I take 2 half milligrams a day and that works for me.  Thank goodness for the researchers that created Klonopin!"


"Started Cervidil around 9pm, around 4am contractions hit and I received my epidural. Everything went smooth son was delivered at 1:29 pm.  No issues with this induction!"


"Worked really well."


"After reading all the reviews I decided to try Prozac.  I am extremely sensitive to medications and have been on many different antidepressants, usually stopping due to side effects.  My Dr. gave me the liquid Prozac so I could take a tiny amount and work my way up.  Initially loss of appetite, nausea, slight dizziness, tiredness, weight loss.  I am 8 weeks out and most side effects have improved.  I feel so much better.  Anxiety is low to nonexistent, clear thinking, hope has returned. Still dealing with grief from my mother's death but I feel better equipped to handle it.  That is a miracle!  I take 2mg, yes 2mg, and when I go higher I can't tolerate the side effects. "


"I am a 20 year old male and have been on 10mg of Lexapro for about 2 months.  I was experiencing panic attacks (minor and major) at least once every day at it's worst and would have one driving or at the movies assuredly every time I went or drove.  I never have taken medication regularly in my life and am otherwise a healthy person.  After experiencing a traumatic event last year, I began having panic attacks.  In the last month I believe I have had two panic attacks.  This medicine has helped me substantially.  The first week is tough, I experienced a little nausea, headaches, and neck/back muscle tightening, but that went away fairly quickly.  Just stick with it!"


"Brilliant, the only thing that helps my anxiety and panic attacks.
"


"The first 6-8 months on this pill were not fun.  But if you talk to any doctor about this type of pill, they will all tell you the same thing: it can take up to a year for your body to adjust, and you MUST take it every day at the same time!!!  I spotted a lot during the first few months but after about 6-8 months, everything settled down.  I now get a period every 3 months, and it's very very light.  All those reviews that only know what it's like the first few weeks need to either remove their review or stick it out because I am very happy with this pill now that I've been on it for over 2 years."


"Only helps slightly with my degenerative disease but works far better than Tylenol."


"My 10 year old son has taken Adderall XR for about 3 years now. This medication is amazing! Twenty years ago my oldest son was diagnosed with ADHD and I refused to medicate him because all of the children I knew that were medicated were "zombies". This time when I had  a child with ADHD I decided it was not fair to not medicate him and am so glad I did. With Adderall, he is alert and well behaved (for the most part). He says he can focus instead of daydreaming all the time. Insomnia and loss of appetite are the only problematic side effects we have, but have been easily remedied with Pediasure and melatonin. I take him off medicines two weekends per month to be sure he's not getting dependent and he goes right back to his normal ADHD self."


"Day 1: HORRRIBLE HEADACHE!!!

I'm just wondering what this drug is doing to my brain for me to feel this bad. I felt messed up this morning. I'm very disappointed because I had high hopes for weight loss. The side affects are just not worth it. $80 down the drain!"


"After two years of SEVERE PAIN in my stomach and esophagus, I finally decided to go to the doctor and get help. I thought all the pain was coming from an ulcer and after two years of pain, I found out that I did not have an ulcer (yet). The doctor prescribed me Protonix. In less than two days, all the pain and acids in my stomach stopped! I finally don't have acid reflux."


"Was prescribed 2 ciprofloxacin 500 per day for 10 days.medication started working after 6 day.never managed to fully cure the infection.but left me with pens and needles  sensation in my legs,lower abdomen and back"


"I had Implanon inserted in August 2010.  I've been pretty impressed.  I was horrible at taking the pill (didn't always happen every day, much less at the same time) so just the fact that I don't have to remember anything for three is enough right there!  I usually have my period for a couple of days every other month; I usually don't know when it is coming which is annoying, but it's always light so not too much trouble.  I haven't had any weight gain but my breasts have gotten a bit smaller.  No unusual mood swings either.  I would recommend Implanon to anyone who wants a no-hassle birth-control method.  Oh, also, Implanon was only $45 for the copay and device."


"I suffer from migraines, high blood pressure headaches, nerve pain and occasional bouts of trigeminal neuralgia. Topamax is a god send, it stopped my headaches and trigeminal neuralgia after we had gone through every treatment and pill available with no result. I was close to suicide because of the amount of pain in my life when I tried topamax and it solved all of those issues. One thing I will say is that the side effect I got from it was pretty severe-I was unable to physically exert myself or else I would break out in cold sweats and feel very weak. I didn't realize it was the topamax for the longest time as it isn't listed as one of the major side effects, but I was so ill I wasn't exerting myself anyways."


"Had post herpectic trigeminal neuralgia (one of the worst cases in history according to my doctors). Began treatment with medications available in 1995, which almost destroyed my endocrine system.  I tried Neurontin when it came out and today find I can control what used to be chronic burning pain down the side of my face from my scalp to my upper teeth across my right eye with 600 mg of Neurontin taken before bed."


"It was inserted November 2014 so it's been a year and four months. I get my period twice a month every other month. I'll get it a 7 days, it'll stop for one week then come back for another week. The bleeding was terrible at first but its regular/light now. Before insertion I got it for 4 days every 28days. I'm irritated and cry over everything. Sharp breast pains, terrible cramps, my hair is disgustingly oily now. I've also gained 30lbs w/o changing my diet so I ate less and gained 10 more. I'm getting it out Monday."


"Although I dread taking this medicine, I admit it does just what it's supposed to. I am on the 500mg twice a day for 7 days AND metronidazole gel twice a day for 5 days. I researched taking both at the same time (afraid of vomiting and diarrhea) but I've been absolutely fine! The only reason I had a recurring case of BV is because of my LEEP procedure. The best way to take this medicine is with lots of water & a solid meal! I've incorporated probiotics such as Activia yogurt and a Lemon & Ginger tea to avoid all nausea and relief with digestion. I snack throughout the day so I've had no metallic taste. It's not as bad as some people make it out to be, but then again, everyone react to medication differently! Remember, no alcohol-PERIOD!!!"


"I had post nasal drip with a cough.  It helped with cough but the taste was so disgusting that I vomited!"


"I was on the ring for two and a half years. When I first started it, I loved it. No acne, no remembering to take it everyday, no worrying, no cramps, light periods.
Into my second year, my sex drive totally shriveled up. My vagina was drier than normal. I would be in the mood but my vagina never got the memo.
I've switched birth control to the pill now, and Its slowly coming back but barely. "


"I have now been on otezla for the magic 4 months the company says it takes to improve.  I am so much worse now.  My arthritis is so bad I can hardly use my hands they are so swollen and painful, most of my joints are swollen and painful, and my psoriasis has gotten worse.  I wish I had stayed on Enbrel, and as will be going back on it as soon as possible. I did not have any adverse side effects, it just wasn't effective for me."


"Getting it put in was not painful! Just uncomfortable... After the insertion the cramps were painful, but everyone is different.. Don't go by reviews, whether to get it or not. Most people only write reviews when they are hating something.  It is not as bad as everyone makes it seem. It is worth a try"


"This medicine has minimal side effects. It makes me less sad or reduces obsessive worry. It lowers my anxiety. It also helps with digestion regularity."


"I am on day 3 of zubsolv and I'm still in precipitated withdrawal. I started on Sunday like the doctor told me too. I was on methadone for two years, my highest dose was 45mg. After doing the prove testing and telling them I wanted to switch to Suboxone because I know it works for me and it helped me get clean before, the doctor agreed to switch me, however my insurance doesn't cover suboxone because zubsolv won the bid for the insurance company. So with three days of taking this and basically being in withdrawal for the majority of those three days I can honestly say that I hate it. It wears off so fast, its like I'm ok for a few hours, but about 4 hours after I take it I'm in withdrawal. Its the worst withdrawal I've ever had."


"I started taking this medicine about 5 months ago for Neuropathy. The pain has gone away completely. I went from not being able to sleep at night and constant numbness in my toes and aching in my joints to no pain at all. BUT I am 20 and am not always able to go to bed before 10 pm so many days I cant take it because it will cause me to be completely unaware and sleepy for the entire next day. Even when I take it before 10 pm some days I just can't function the next day and that is becoming so inhibiting to where I don't take it. I literally fall asleep while driving."


"I hesitated to try Chantix due to the side effects.  But I had some minor health scares and knew that my luck would run out soon.  I really didn't want to quit smoking.
I started Chantix 9 days ago.  I smoked my last (hopefully) cigarette 6 days ago.  I know it's very early in the quit process, I've done this before years ago.
I've had no adverse effects from Chantix.  Quitting has been one of the easiest things to do.  Yes, I still have the urge to smoke at times but it's more the habitual urge. The cravings have been less than mild.
I plan on this being the last time I have to quit, Chantix has made this a breeze so far!!"


"United Health care does not cover this, as of March 10, 2016 :("


"I've been on the pill for 15 days and it definitely curbs my appetite but issue is I have gained weight not lost. I eat maybe 1000-1200 in take a day."


"I've had big problems with both depression and anxiety, and I've tried most of the benzodiazepines that are available (Diazepam, Clonazepam, Flunitrazepam, Nitrazepam, Oxazepam, and so on), and also a couple of different antidepressants. SSRI's and Mirtazapine(brand name "Remeron"). And after trying all of these different medications, I didn't think I EVER could get rid of the depression and anxiety and live a normal life (which in turn made me even more depressed), but then in comes Xanax! And it didn't take long before I was almost entirely free from both the depression and the anxiety, which had had such a strong grip on my life for such a long time and almost ruined my life! I really feel like I owe my life to the wonderful Alprazolam!"


"Abilify works wonders, but it can have long term side effects.  Blood test are taken every 6 - 8 months to make sure everything is okay."


"I have started taking Adipex 5 days ago and I have lost eight pounds already. This is a wonderful drug. I have been on and off of it for years. You can lose weight very fast with this pill. It really works if you want to lose weight. You may experience dry mouth. You don't feel hungry, you have to make yourself eat. I haven't been doing any kind of workouts, but plan to start. I go back to my doctor 8-26-10. She said that I would have to lose 6 pound if I want to get more. I started out at 187 and now I am 179."


"I have had my tendon behind my knee cap replaced, the left side of my skull about half is a plate, Arthritis in both wrist, (not good as I was a professional Drummer) and Norco works. Now it doesn't take all of the pain away but, a good majority of it. "


"It completely cured my constant runny nose, and I feel great.  No side effects at all!  I use it two or three times a day as prescribed by my doctor."


"I was pregnant and had severe morning sickness. I was throwing 7-10 a day on a good day. With the Zofran I was down to once or maybe twice a day. I was able to eat and drink liquids again. The chalky flavor does get to you after an extended period of time."


"The side effects are devastating for me."


"Minimal side effects for me. I do not drink a lot of water before or after my injection. I do not take Ibuprofen. Injection site redness is my only side effect (does last for a month or more). Previously on Tecfidera, the twice a month shot is much easier to tolerate than a twice a day pill (extreme flushing on Tec.)."


"I started taking Cymbalta approx. 4 weeks ago.  Its a miracle far as I'm concerned. I have low back pain, fibromyalgia and increasing anxiety disorder.  Within 4 days I felt immediate relief from pain all over. I haven't felt this good in years. I am also on Lyrica and am going to see if I can lower my dose or even discontinue it and see if I'm still pain free. My anxiety is starting to lessen now as well. I don't have many side effects, mostly more tired so I will take it at night.  Definitely try it. It's worth it!"


"I experienced almost immediate relief from the spasm's I have in my neck.  What a relief.  I slept through the night for the first time in a very long time."


"It is wonderful. I only wish I knew about it sooner."


"My belief is baclofen is finally the cure for alcoholism.  My Dr. put me on Baclofen, 40 mg, then upped with 20 mg more if I needed.  I drink exactly 16 ozs. of Coors Lite daily, and no desire to drink more.  No cravings!  As a young man I used LSD for religious awareness.  Baclofen has the same effects as LSD as you are "coming on" to it.  Mild hallucinations, dryness of mouth, slight irritability, hyper hearing, smelling and thoughts.  Also weakness of muscles, and drowsiness.  I fight the drowsiness with caffeine.  I continue my normal activity regardless of weakness, leading to unusual muscle tone with everyday activity.  I am a 62 yr. old man with six-pack abs.  THANKS BAC AND MY DR.!!"


"I had commented before and I also wanted to say that I haven't experienced any mood swings and I STILL WANT TO HAVE SEX! The pill made me hate sex but my drive hasn't suffered a bit with the Nuvaring. I love it and HIGHLY recommend it."


"I was on the shot for about 3yrs but decided to change to a birth control, and my Doctor recommended Tri-Nessa since I had mild acne. So I started taking it and I have to say I love it. My period comes at the same time every month, no pregnancy scares and I often have sex unprotected. My acne cleared up. The only side effect I had in the beginning was tender breast, and being a little emotional. After it went away. I take the pill at the same time every day. So I highly recommend to everyone."


"When I first got on this pill, it was so great because I hardly had any side effects. Then...I started having them. My boobs hurt and I got cramps. I definitely also noticed increased appetite. However, it completely took away my periods which I LOVE! And now I'm in month two and my stomach and boobs only hurt occasionally. I'm hoping it will get even better from here but I really like this pill as a BC."
