"I am a 43 year old male. I recently was diagnosed with high blood pressure 190/104. My doctor started me on 5mg per day for the first month. Raised it to 10mg per day on the 2nd month and 20mg per day on the 3rd month. Recently I started having random and uncontrollable bouts of diarrhea. I am also tired all the time with low energy levels. I am an Electrical contractor, before I started taking this medicine, I was a high energy, multi-tasker. Now, although my blood pressure is under control, I am tired most of the time and at times I can't seem to think clearly enough to perform the complex logical tasks that my job requires. The Diarrhea is sometimes UNCONTROLLABLE."


"I found this drug to have very little effect on my fibromyaliga, even when I used the maximum dose prescribed by my doctor."


"Taking it for 3 weeks; now am at 2 in am and 2 in pm.   Had little dizziness, which went away.  No other side effects.  Initially it made me hungrier, which I thought was crazy.  This has had no impact on lessening my hunger or cravings. I'll be talking to my physician about it.  I don't see a need to continue this."


"I started on this pill 5 years ago (at age 20) due to extremely painful cramps that prohibited me from attending class.
5 years later and I still love it! I went off it once for a few months at one point to see if the pill had caused weight gain; it hadn't.
I do not get acne outbreaks, I've only had a handful of times where I had to take two due to forgetting the day before, and have overall had a positive experience from this pill. Libido has decreased a bit but that's the cost you pay to not get pregnant.. My cramps are significantly less, perhaps every other month I do feel some pain but it's manageable by over the counter meds, which before was not possible. I'll likely stay on this until starting a family/make the IUD switch"


"I'm a 25 year old female. I was diagnosed with Crohn's in August 2011. I had a bowel resection at the end of September due to the severity of my illness. I've been taking Pentasa for about 3 months now and feel good, but my hair has been falling out like crazy. I read a normal person loses 50-100 strands a day, I'm losing probably triple that. It's really depressing, I'm switching to another medicine to see if that helps with the hair loss. Other than that I haven't had any side affects. Good luck!"


"Botox is the only medicine that has stopped my migraines for 4-5 months at a time. I've had migraines for over 40 years now and I'm very happy that it is now approved by the FDA for migraine treatment."


"Keep taking it for the side effects. The four hour erection hasn't happened yet but still hoping, hoping I'm not alone at the time!"


"Started taking this pill 3 months ago. Worked fine the first month. No spotting or anything, now I'm on month 3 and I have been on a heavy flow peorid for 3 weeks. Acne is acting out. And massive weight gain. Used to weigh 120 and now I weigh 134. Do not recommend this drug"


"My wife and I have been on Suboxone for about 2 years. We have linked obesity to the side effects. Suboxone drastically slows down your digestive track. It's not limited to just the digestion track. Anyone taking Suboxone will notice a number of things, In males the number of sperm released is also greatly affected. In Humans Suboxone does something to the human body that restricts dilatation of vascular digestive function in tube like organs. The vas deferens during ejaculation, prostate control, (premature ejaculation), sphincter dilation, and lower digestive track speeds. People will gain weight over time."


"My husband is in the hospital right now and they put a brand new knee in and he was doing pretty good until they gave him that drug.  It was horrible for him.  He was like a different  person.  He did not know where he was or even who we were.  He was screaming for someone to call the police.  I cannot imagine anyone taking that.  Norco 10 is the strongest thing he can take and that is just one pill when needed.  He took one dose of that and that is all....horrible experience for him."


"Honestly, when I set out to try this - I wasn't too sure what to expect. My skin was awful, and the horrid acne I had was so painful and built up that I couldn't properly cover it with makeup any more.

I went on a combination of Duac gel and an antibiotic two months ago. Today, I only have one spot.

I began to notice a difference to my skin the day after I first applied it. My skin had dried out immensely and the spots seemed to be going down. I was so happy.

For the first three or so weeks of using Duac, my skin was a rollercoaster. At first my face was getting so dry that by the morning I was putting on a hefty layer of e45 cream under my makeup. Now, I don't use any. My skin no longer needs it. It's changed the oiliness of my skin"


"I was prescribe this medicine for sinus infection.  I thought I had taken it before, but maybe not.  I started it on a Wednesday evening with the first dose to be taken every 12 hours.  I believe it was the next day I started feeling nauseated after taking it.  Saturday I was headed out, so grabbed my pills so I could take them after eating something.  I got so nauseated I thought I would not make it back home, just a really bad ill feeling.  By Friday evening I had diarrhea that has last into Sunday.  I think I'm done taking this and will call the doctor tomorrow for something else because I also have a cough and the two don't mix very well."


"I've been taking this medication now for 3 months and I've noticed my depression is A LOT better. I do get down when PMSing (more so than normal).  I'd rate it higher if it weren't for the electric shock feeling I get through my body if I don't take it at the same time everyday and my lack of a sex drive. I've tried Zoloft (worked for 4 months or so and stopped working for me) and Effexor (I felt constant rage in my chest), so far the Viibryd is the best of the 3.  I also have post traumatic stress disorder so now I am looking to see if it's possible to add a medication to the Viibryd for this as it does not help for PTSD.  I take Xanax occasionally as needed for anxiety."


"I have horrible acne but just starting Lo Loestrin has cleared up my skin so much! I'm on my 9th day. I noticed I cry really easy now but not the bad kind for no reason I cry for sad movies and when I gave my rabbit away because we are moving. I'm 23 and don't use it for painful periods but to help with my mood and acne. I'll have to wait and see if it helps with my mood. I did notice I don't sleep as much. I need a good 10 hours at night and nap. Hope it works for others too."


"Was on spironolactone for 5 yrs with terrible side effects, name it I had it. The breast soreness is what did it for me, and finally I stumbled into eplerenone after 5 yrs of suffering through spironolactone.
Eplerenone works great for me with minimum or no side effects and the most important thing is that there is NO MORE BREAST PAIN. My blood pressure is under control and my potassium is 4.5.  I incorporated a work out schedule with this medication 2-4 times a week."


"Well....50 pounds gained later I'm not very happy with this pill.  I've talked to my doctor numerous times about this side effect and she says you will feel hungry all the time but you just need to tell yourself not to eat.  The weight gain has made me depressed and self conscious, beginning to think this pill is not worth taking.  Other than that, it has helped my periods and I haven't gotten pregnant so that's a plus."


"I was given a script for Taytulla to help with my PCOS. I've gone through one packet. This will be my only packet of it. It has caused mood swings. It has amplified my anxiety. It has made me depressed. It's caused horrible fatigue. When I got my period, my cramps have been worse than they've ever been in my life, and that's quite the accomplishment because they've always been bad. My period has been a flood. I've had to empty my menstrual cup every five hours, when I usually only have to do so every 10 hours."


"NEVER NEVER take this garbage!!!! 2 hours after inserting I wanted to die. Screaming and crying in unbearable pain! This stuff should not be allowed to be sold. Go to the doctor. Do not take the chance of this terrible awful pain."


"I bled abnormaly every week but this pill straighten me out in less then one week! I highly recommend this"


"Tried quitting cold turkey and was so grumpy had to decide between quitting or my marriage, chose marriage. Tried Zyban, quit after 10 days, been a month and have not had any sign of grumpiness, withdrawl or anxiety. I call them my magic pills"


"What in the hell have I done to myself! "


"I had been suffering from Ankylosing Spondylitis for quite a number of years. I had tried NSAID's with very little improvement, therefore I had no option but to trial Anti-TNF therapy as a last resort. I had originally tried Humira without much improvement at all. I then went on to try Simponi, which improved my physical condition dramatically within the first day of the injection, however seemed to have a psychotic effect on my brain over the couple of months of been on it. I did recover once I stopped the Simponi. I then got onto Enbrel around sometime after and seemed to have improvement within a couple of days of having the injection. I did have itchiness which in hindsight was a minimal problem."


"I took this as I was not sleeping well with Parkinson's Disease I fell several times and really hurt myself.  My balance was much worse."


"I was diagnosed with anal HPV last month. This week will be my 5th week on this creme and since last week I noticed my GW are gone! I didn't have serious pain, but there was some redness, itching, and mild pain, but that's how u know it's working.  The goal was "irritation" my doctor said.  I used it 5x's a week before bedtime for 3 weeks then when it got irritated I went to 3 x's a week. I used the entire packet at each application and rubbed the creme into the wart and surrounding skin. I did get itching about 4 hours after application. In the mornings I washed it off. I'm happy this medicine worked for me. Don't be afraid to try it."


"This medicine is pure trash and so are these "paid reviews" all over the web.  I asked my physician to prescribe this medication after discussing the medication.  I was told it has an antidepressant and helps to regulate emotional eating.  HOWEVER!  I did not research this medication in depth until I purchased it for $100 (after downloading the online coupon).

When the pharmacist gave it to me, they informed me three times that the medication was non-refundable (which I should have known then).  I also received a 6 page, 2 sided 8x10 list of warnings.  This made me go home and actually do in depth research and prompted me to read experiences from other users.  They warned of headaches and nausea among other things.  Continued on next post....."


"I have been on Trulicity 12 weeks now.  The first 2 weeks I was on the .75mg injection then went to 1.5mg. The first 2 days after my injection I am very nauseated and usually vomit around 4am. My issue is indigestion and of course nausea and vomiting. I have found that eating no greasy foods, dairy products and no eating past 6pm has helped me tremendously on cutting down on the indigestion and nausea and vomiting. My blood sugars are doing great and my A1C is coming down. I like so many others do not have an appetite and I experience diarrhea often. I have lost 34 pounds so far. I am very happy with the medication and just learning what you can and cannot eat is the key factor."


"I am 23 years old and have not had any children and I believe this is a lot of the reason why paragard reeked such havoc on my uterus and body. I gave Paragard a shot because I was told it was one of the most "natural" forms of birth control and I have never met a pill that I could tolerate. I thought the no hormones involved with the Paragard would be the answer for me. I had the IUD in for a year and was miserable the whole year. Here were some of my symptoms...
Chronic lower back pain which made it uncomfortable to sit for long periods of time, Sharp pain in my right hip area which travelled down my leg to my foot, 2 week long periods with heavy flow & painful cramps, Light headedness when exercising, anxiety, mood swings, irritability."


"Avoid this if you can. I had my son In April and lost all of my baby weight and then some within the first month postpartum. At my 6 week ppd appt I decided to get the implant due to ease and effectiveness. Insertion easy and I was really looking forward to getting intimate again with my husband. Unfortunately though, two weeks later and my sex drive was gone, I was having anger outbursts daily and I fell in a deep depression. I began getting acne and gained 20 lbs rapidly. I realized that it had to be my bc so I had it removed. two weeks later and I can safely say that my sanity, relationship and body are all finally healing. Sex drive is rockin, I can smile, my energy is back and I've lost 6lbs!!"


"My experience: I'm 18 years old, and this birth control is amazing! Hardly use condoms with my spouse and I've been protected for 2 and half years. The only bad side, is the bleeding and discharge. I've been bleeding non stop and cannot tell what's my period and what's just blood. The other down side, is headaches and the blood! It's annoying to want to get intimate and have a pile of blood in your underwear. If you're looking for protection I highly recommend this, but if you mind bleeding and the other mishaps then try the pill!!"


"Greater Trochanteric Bursitis diagnosis, did Physical Therapy, cortisone injections, tight IT bands, stabbing, shooting pain from hip to ankle. Was put on Gabapentin, I only take at night due to some "drunk feeling" side effects. I can sleep most of the night.  After an X-ray, two MRI's finally found out I have a full tear of the gluteus minimus in left hip and partial in right. I will continue taking til surgery and probably after as well, as I can only have one side repaired at a time.  Has seemed to work wonders for me!"


"My depression began slowly at first, then all at once I couldn't bear myself anymore. I am a sophomore in college (female). In the evenings and going on into the night, my mood dropped so fast and I would get so sad over nothing. After talking to a counsellor, and making the tough choice to medicate, she put me on a starting dose of 50 MG Zoloft. After taking the first pill, I was doing some research and had myself so freaked out that night that the side effects would be awful. I was so worried I would have to skip work or class. I have been on the medication a few weeks now and I had zero problems! I could not be more impressed. My moods are already stabilizing and I feel so much better already! Good luck to anyone starting!!"


"Problem developed with inability to have proper bowel movement. Difficult to overcome until I was told to take Dulcolax with each dosage of Lortab 5/500 or 5/325. Cleared problem up. Gradually "got off" Lortab by slowly decreasing dosage over period of about a week as recommended by physician."


"I have Behcet's, Castleman, fibromyalga, osteoporosis, degenerative disc disease. All equals severe pain. I tried everything. I now take Opana 30 ER 4 times a day and Norco 10/325 8 times a day for breakthrough pain. Before the Opana I wanted to die to get away from the pain. I couldn't play with my 4 kids. All they heard was not right now mommy hurts. Now I have my pain under control and I can live my life and play with my kids."


"Have been on Livalo for a few years, 2mg a day. I'm a female, 58, 5'3, normal-petite. First I have to say reading all the reviews r not useful to many people. U cannot compare yourself to a 75 yr old or a 35 yr old or even female/male. I feel u can only find answers when u compare yourself to the same type of person. I do not take any other medication except for Xanax for panic/anxiety disorder. After a few years of taking Livalo I'm experiencing horrible joint pains in my toes and feet. I feel like I'm 78 when I get up in the morning. There is no history of arthritis in my family. My mother lived to 94, my dad 92. They had little health issues but not til they were old. I'm so depressed now, I don't want to be around friends. My feet hurt"


"I was Rx'd Remeron for PTSD physical issues. After years of treatment for vertigo 'imbalance ' and 'globular' sensation my doctor prescribed me many medications.  This one finally worked!  Although I gained 35 pounds because it increases your appetite. I'm so happy to not have vertigo or any other symptoms. We will see I how I do off it. I've been off it for 2 months now with no side effects at all:)"


"I went in for a check up and got news this morning I had Chlaymida. I was super sketched out by the powder because I was told I'd be getting 4 pills to take and it's my first time so I had no idea what to even think. I mixed it in with my water chugged it gagged and almost puked. I ate immediately after, and had to go to work my stomach started to hurt super bad and I had to run to the toilet. That was at like 12 this morning and here I am at 7:54 and my stomach is still killing me, I pray it goes away soon."


"I started breaking out when I got to college. I decided to address the problem before it got worse, even though the acne wasn't that bad. She gave me a prescription for Tretinoin X cream. I put it on every night.
The first week, I felt like someone had rubbed sandpaper across my face. It was AWFUL. My skin was red and irritated and it hurt like hell even when nothing was touching it.
The next week, the pain and irritation slowly subsided. The following, my face erupted in pimples. That lasted into the fourth week. It was worse than it had ever been.
After that, my face magically cleared up. It was amazing. Except for a very few minor spots, my skin is nearly flawless.
The beginning sucks, but STICK IT OUT. You won't regret it."


"This is only day 2 for me, and you'd think that'd be slightly early to review the med. However, I've felt so much better already having had the edge taken off my latest serious bout of depression. No bad side effects yet- only some thirst, slight sore head now and again - probably due to the thirst. Slept great, and still bright and able to work. I was on quetiapine last year for my depression and that was awful- felt like a zombie and I was listless most of the day. The treatments are night and day for me. Lately I had tried other means to alleviate my depression, but sometimes you've just got to ask for help, and I'm glad I did and received this little wonder."


"Struggled considerably with excessive sweating starting at age 14. A close friend told me in college about how well Rx Drysol had worked for her, so I talked with my doctor. Long story short: after using Drysol exactly as prescribed during my 20s and 30s, my underarm sweating was 100% eradicated. Was able to switch to over-the-counter antiperspirants/deodorants for decades. Only now, pushing sixtysomething, did I need to request another Rx for Drysol after noticing some perspiration begin. After only a few applications, that problem too was solved!

Drysol = an unforgettable quality-of-life improvement! Would 1,000% recommend it to anyone struggling with excessive sweating.

PS. Cardinal Rule:  APPLY DRYSOL SPARINGLY!!"


"I was on Microgestin for about 3 years. Over the past year, I started to get extremely bad headaches during the sugar pill week. I took extra strength Tylenol the entire week, twice a day, and it still didn't make my headaches go away. I also would feel very lightheaded and nauseous. I had to leave work early, it was bad. The only good thing was I've had the same box of tampons for the entire year. I barely had a period. Oh yeah, I also got high pigmentation right above my lips. They call it a "pregnancy mask" but you can get it with certain birth control. It is very dark and it is difficult to hide with makeup! I'm not a big fan of having a weird skin mustache so I went off it."


"I am very angry, upset, frustrated when I had heard recently that is medication has been taken off the market recently, This is the only medication that works on my allergies and believe me I have tried Allerga, Clartin, Zyrtec, Benadryl, Sudafed, you name it, tried it. Nothing else works. My eyes are swelling, my nose is running and I am using 2 different medicines just to keep it at bay, but it not clearing it up. Please get this back out to the pharmacy. There are a lot of us that use this medication that are severe allergy suffers.  Help us get this back to the pharmacy."


"It definitely kills my appetite. However, I'm dizzy, constipated and have headaches.  I also feel a bit anxious.  I'm having trouble remembering things as well. That's the worst part.  I've been on the medication for 2 months.I'm only eating about 1000 calories a day and have only lost 3 pounds. Granted, I've had bronchitis twice during this time and haven't exercised.  I will give this another month because I have about that much of it left. But if I don't lose something during that time, I'm done."


"This is a great medication. I finished the sample pack that my doctor gave me and I'm down about 8 pounds. I was really looking forward to having the prescription filled...but my insurance doesn't cover it. Even with a discount card from Saxenda, it would have cost over $900. This doesn't make sense! The only side effects I've experienced were a little bit of nausea, heartburn and feeling a little more tired than usual. The weight loss had already made me feel better so it was worth it. I have a follow-up in a few days and am anxious to talk with my doctor about what I can do to continue on this medication. Good luck to all of you and I'm so glad your insurance covers Saxenda!"


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Taste is not horrible but not great. Little too sweet for me, but I am not into sweets. I found it harder to drink the second portion. I highly rcommend licking a lemon wedge after each gulp, helps a lot. I spent a lot of time on the toilet. I drank second portion at 8pm and was still going at 12am. Also, this continued the next morning, obviously not as much though. It did its job cleaning me out. No abdominal cramping or pain; however, after drinking first portion some upper stomach cramping but not bad. Giving it a 9 not a 10 because the taste could be better and I spent a lot of time on the toilet."


"Horrible!!!!!!!! I tried 10mg for 2 days over the weekend and stayed awake they most if it I took it 39 minutes before bedtime as directed 7:30pm and 11:00pm I was wide awake I am so upset I had to purchase over the counter unisom to get a nights rest on Sunday in fear of starting the work week dead tired since I didn't get any rest this weekend now I have to go back to my doctor and see what he suggests I had to get prior authorizations to get approval from my insurance company for this waste of time extremely disappointed DO NOT waste your or your doctors time read the other reviews most DO NOT have good experiences with this medication your better costly and sleep with generic Ambein"


"I have a type of neuropathy that basically cripples me. I was taking oxycodone for years but it just made it so I could function. When my doctor prescribed Fentora it was like a miracle. I can live now. Not just get by."


"THIS DRUG KILLS. IT SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE MARKET. A few days after beginning taking this medication, my father started acting very strange and aggressive. He told his doctor he was feeling emotional, the doctor had him continue taking the drug. Ten days later, he put a gun to his head and killed himself. I filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and requested a list of all the adverse effects reported in association with this drug over the past couple years. There were SIXTY cases that ended in death. My suggestion: read through all the reviews here before you start taking this drug. They are messing with a part of the brain that shouldn't be touched, and the company's clinical trials were NOT thorough."


"I used Elavil for 2 months I use it only as needed. When I do use it works like a miracle."


"Observer: My boyfriend has drank for over 25 years...morning to night brandy whisky....enlarged liver, bloated belly, sickness, malnutrition, bleeding from ulcerated stomach, bowel cancer..but is recovered .

He IS on Librium now 120 mg a day. 3rd day in snoozing peacefully. No sickness this time, not a noticeable shake, eating fine and a tonic water. I snooze peacefully now because WE want to live.
"


"I was prescribed venlafaxine a year ago after a suicide attempt. After about four weeks on 150mg once a day
I started to feel less miserable all the time and a bit more sociable. However, the side effects have affected my life quite a lot. I am now constantly getting sweaty, often feel restless (especially at night) and I have little to no sex drive. The side effects of skipping a pill (just one day) are also extremely drastic. Nausea, vomiting, crying, headaches and my anxiety problems are exacerbated to the max. It is not helpful at all to my anxiety, I have been prescribed buspirone for that on top as I am still having frequent panic attacks, etc."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"Been on this birth control now for 4 months. It works well as it prevents pregnancy, but so far, I've had very heavy periods and severe cramps and tons of chin acne. Yaz never gave me these issues. I want to switch, but doctor told me to give it another 3 months to see what happens. If I still don't like it, then she said I can switch. I must stick it out until then."


"Got from VL120000 to undetectable in just a month, take it with Truvada once a day (I don't mind taking 2 pills a day at all), CD4 went from 530 to 980, a great combination for me with almost no side effects (was having some mild headaches, they are gone now). It's been 2 months since I started and I feel much better now, gained about 10lbs back. You must NOT wait to start your treatment, there is no benefit to it, don't let the virus kill your brain cells, destroy your immunity system, start ASAP. I just wish I could have started sooner (insurance problems, the drugs are way too expensive). Good luck!"


"I was diagnosed with Polycystic ovarian syndrome after thinking I was pregnant, because I hadn't had a cycle in 4 months. My ob ran tests and found I had a hormonal disorder PCOS and to force a period prescribed me Provera once a month for 10 days. It made me have all the regular PMS symptoms, but I also have experienced prolonged, heavy flow."


"Here's the deal.  Yes - I lost weight.  At first, it was great!  I exercise on top of it, so I noticed pretty quickly.  At the same time, I was eating ... just making better choices and not so ravenous.  The side effects started right away and were mild in the beginning - but then - 6 months into it - they were terrible ... I just recently stopped because I couldn't take it.  My insomnia was the worse ... I would wak up @ 300 and not be able to fall asleep again, and the depression!!!  OMG ... I didn't realize I was kind of getting more and more deep.  But I was also convinced that the medicine had to be taken - I HAD to keep losing weight!!  Dry mouth, heart palpitations (with chest pain)-would like this last year back!! It's not worth it!"


"Im a 29 year old woman who recently has voluntarily lost 40lbs (from 220) after having emergency gallbladder surgery that could have been prevented had i have chosen healthier/ less fast fat foods for years. Now i suffer from IBS with constipation & the pain from that brings me to tears. After trying everything else i grabbed ducolax pink & i couldnt believe it. It cleared my colon out & I lost 3 lbs of poo weight. I knew what to exspect (side effects wise) with this type of laxative. This works better than magnesium sitrate for me. I just felt the normal belly rumbles that comes with taking a huge poop. I even loved the fact it still worked the next day. I went to work and everything. I took 2 pink pills with a litre water at 8pm thank u"


"I have been using the NuvaRing for a bit over 2 weeks now.  I love it. I was a bit cautious about having sex with it, and worried that my boyfriend would feel it inside my vagina. He can't feel it and I have never experienced a "slipping out" or was afraid that I was going to lose it during sex. I know everyone's body is different. For me, I'm small 100lbs 5 feet, the other two oral birth control pill I've tried Ortho-tricylen and Aviane both made me horribly moody and I had non-stop breakthrough bleeding on Aviane.

Overall, I say NuvaRing is the best birth control yet.  My sex drive is boosted, I can forget I'm even using birth control for three weeks, and I am not moody at all. I feel like a teenager again."


"In the 1st week of taking this medicine I slept like a teenager. Could sleep day and night. After that developed severe insomnia, up all night and all day. Also had noticed increased gas and had tight jaws from clenching and grinding my teeth. In addition had increased episodes of irregular heart beat."


"I'm SUPER sensitive to medications. On 500mg for 5 days, had a sinus infection for about 6 weeks now. So far, I can't sleep really at all, but looks like you can take a Benadryl or something with it that may help you sleep.  Will discuss with doctor.

Hesitant about taking this because of all the comments here and the (black box warning) about the medication that everyone should read about Levofloxacin (google it). I'm feeling really scattered and can't focus mentally, insomnia and dizziness if I get up too quickly are the biggest issues.  I am not taking any of my usual vitamins and no gym, but so far ok. Will update if any changes.

*Update, I ended up having to cut the pills in half per doc ok. I felt so awful."


"I got this back in 2006 so I wouldn't have to take any pills, I bled the entire first year....seriously. The second year was way better and so was the third year until December. That's when the bleeding started again on and off; that went on for like three months and now it has started again. I will be getting it removed in a month and I think I will gain much peace of mind. I have been very moody and my sex drive is no where to be seen. The one good thing about it was my periods were very light, that I will miss."


"I have been on methadone since 1998 and it's the best pain reliever on the market today. I have been prescribed almost everything for my pain and nothing would touch it. It might have taken the pain away for a short period of time, then I would have to take another pill. Methadone is unique because it has what the doctors call a (HALF LIFE), This means when you take methadone it doesn't (PEAK) out in 2-4 hours, it last the whole day. Like other pain pills such as Oxycontin, Vicodin, Demerol, or any other opiate, they Peak out at about 2-4 hours. In the last ten plus years I have been taking Methadone, I have been able to function, do normal day to day operations, and even maintain a full-time job. Methadone is the best pain pill out there."


"I have been on the NuvaRing (NR) for about 6 months. Although it is extremely convenient, I have had the worst mood swings EVER. The mood swings over power the convenience of the NR for me. I have also gained about 10-15 pounds, which is not normal for me at all (20 years old), low to really no sex drive, headaches, nausea.  I know side effects are different for everyone, but I wanted to let someone else know my problems before they have to deal with them.

Prevention of Thromboembolism in Atrial Fibrillation

"Downside for me with Pradaxa was severe acid reflux.  Neither my doctor nor my pharmacist told me until I complained of this that Pradaxa works in an acidic environment so they put acid in the capsule.  This was particularly difficult at night. I was taking Tums by the handful.  Within a day of not taking it, the acid reflux disappeared.  I'm now trying Xarelto.  So far, no upset stomach."


"Type II diabetic since 2003. Been on Metformin, Avandia, glyburide, Lantus, and Novalog either as monotherapy or in combinations. Been on pump since 2007 and got through 2 pregnancies with pump. Endocrinologist recommended this so I can reduce my insulin uptake and hopefully, get off the pump (weight gain and complacent with diet on pump). So far I've only been on Invokana 4 days. Lost 8 pounds, reduced appetite, more water intake. Noticed you need to watch carbs or sugar will spike. I'm still on Metformin 2000mg/day and pump but barely any insulin. Will stay on this for a while to see if I can get off the pump (my goal) and lose more weight."


"I had a horrific experience with the mirena. The insertion was the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. It was absolutely horrific. I was covered in sweat and I almost lost consciousness from the pain. The following 2 days, I took 3 ibuprofen every 6 hours and I was still in so much pain that I could hardly bear to eat. I knew I needed a stronger pain med but had no confidence I could drive myself to the doctor's office.  3 months later, I had my first panic attack completely unprovoked. I've had anxiety since then, and horrific, severe acne unlike anything I've ever had. Removal was just as painful. The strings were cut too short so I need to get it surgically removed under general anesthesia next week. I can't wait. I've had it for 5 mo"


"I have been on Tamoxifen for three months. I was put on it because of my increased risk for developing breast cancer. I have had no side effects at all. I also feel much calmer and relaxed. Before my period I would get very emotional and moody. Since I no longer have periods, I no longer experience this. I seem to be craving candy, but probably just trying to blame my sweet tooth on something besides my lack of will power. I have also lost 8 pounds."


"I love Allerx but can't afford $500 month for it."


"I lived with severe heartburn for years.  It was absolutely crippling at times.  I had to essentially watch everything I ate and drank.  Aciphex gave me my life back.  I recommend looking into it as a possible treatment."


"On it for almost 2 weeks.  First week tried 15mg (2 at night and 1 around 2pm). Had huge improvement on head sweats by the end of the week 7/10, feet was a bit better 4/10 although noticed was getting drowsy / lowering of my heart rate during the day.  Opted to do just 10mg (2 at night) and side effects much better and sweating issue still getting better.  Feet still a bit warm although not the dripping mess they were.  Social and professional impact 10/10 so is looking like a definite alternative to the ETS knife.   Hoping feet will improve over the coming weeks!"


"Helps me get things done and to focus.  No adverse side affects."


"After years and years of self medicating and over medicating on co- codamol. Chewing ibupufren, even nasal surgery to relieve severe sinus pain I was prescribed amatriptyline 10mg at night. Immediately, or at least the next morning, after the best nights sleep I'd had in years, the pain was GONE !! It became apparent, though, after a few weeks that my sex drive had also GONE!! What a dilemma for a 45 yr old, normally virile bloke. If I'm honest, after all the years of pain and worry I'd had over taking so many pain killers, it was a small sacrifice to make. Unfortunately, my partner didn't see it in the same light, understandably...Oh well ?"


"About 5 years ago I noticed that I was getting extremely upset over little things. I talked to my doctor about it and we decided it was most likely depression causing the erratic moods and sleeplessness. She put me on Lexapro. The first 2 weeks were great but then the side effects were too much. I felt like I was on a roller coaster and when I got upset, I would be filled with rage. I had to stop taking it and switched to Zoloft. I like it but now I am looking for something else because I just don't feel like I am living life just cruizing through it."


"I had a very nasty side-effect of intense nightmares with Inderal"


"should come in a stronger dosage"


"I had such a difficult time getting this approved through my insurance, however, finally I did for $80.00.  What a huge disappointment!!  I have suffered with chronic pain, degenerative arthritis, and insomnia for years.  I was hopeful after watching the commercial, that finally I would find an effective medication.  To my surprise, all it did was help keep me up all night, some ringing in the ears, and absolutely no rest!!  Anyone who says this medication is helpful, must be experiencing the placebo effect."


"Get Sklice. Do not stop, call your Dr and go straight to the pharmacy. This magical lotion is totally miraculous!! No side effects- and it was gentle for 6 months old. I used on my 2 year old. Seriously, I honestly would have cut my girls hair without it. This is the second time we've used it and it kills bugs AND nits. I comb all the nits out after to be 100% sure of no reoccurrence, but I think it works as is. It is very expensive though, so use the Sklice coupon on the website and its cheaper.  You won't regret it. (Why don't more parents know about this? Sanofi you need to be running advertising on this! Retarget lice searches!)"


"I've taking topamax for three years.  It helped but I started getting eye pain behind my left eye.  My eye would throb like a bird was pecking at it. I went to several doctors about it and U of L dr. figured it out...it was topamax causing the problem.  I'm  off of the meds.and having very little pain behind my eye."


"I'm 54 yrs old now & I've struggled most my life with severe depression and anxiety. Many issues in my life would be intense and just make me be so upset. Taking this Lamictal now for 2 months at 200mg. Has so much stabilized my mood. I've been so much more settle and handling situations more calmly . A Great medicine. "


"We began with night wakings then more aggression. He was never aggressive like this before. Raised to 2 mg symptoms increased again. Still hyper and seemed worse than before. Upon reducing back to 1 mg to none it's been a nightmare. Red red cheeks. Bouncing off walls. Bouncing Up till 3 am. Starting to come down a bit but oh my god the havoc on his mind and body and us plus no sleep. Doc said there wouldn't be any withdrawal "


"GREAT for anxiety. The ONLY problem I've had is after taking it regularly, when I try to reduce the dosage or frequency, my anxiety increases."


"I am on my 3rd refill have lost 57lbs as of this morning! The only side effect I have had is a little dry mouth! This medicine continues to be magical for me!  Went to my doctor for a check up and prescription renewal, HE COULD NOT BELIEVE MY PROGRESS! He knew very little about the medicine until I enlightened him. He now is praising it and has prescribed it to 3 new people!"


"I've been on Saxenda for 4 weeks after trying unsuccessfully for about 12 months to lose any weight at all. I've lost 6 pounds, which is awesome for me. I just started the 3.0 dose this week, so I haven't even been at full efficacy. The side effects have been mild and tolerable... a little nausea after each bump in dose, some heartburn, and fatigue. They seem to be getting better the longer I am on the medicine. I got a discount card from the Saxenda website that keeps my co-pay at $30."


"About 3 years ago I was on Lexapro 10mg, then I was off. Then about 9 months ago I was on Lexapro 10mg again then up to 20mg but my libido pretty much became non existent. I had weight gain, I tried working out but it didn't help the problem. It worked with my anxiety but after a while I felt like it was wearing off and I was becoming accustomed. I had lost my job and had no insurance so I couldn't afford my Lexapro, so I was cut off up until about 3 days ago. The withdrawals were INSANE, I had so many attacks and brain zaps I really wanted to crash my car into incoming traffic, I would have my mom come pick me up while I would park on the side of the road."


"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 tried Nucynta, it did not help the pain. I had a headache from it and it made my right leg numb. I had a stroke 20 years ago. "


"Started  Simponi  in  February  and  so  far  nothing  has  changed,  still  pain,  swelling  and  disease  getting  worse.  I hope  you  never  have  a  problem  with  an  injection  because  the  people  at  Jensen  who  are  there  to  help  are  clueless."


"I knew the side-effects of this medication and the potential for stomach issues, but I was diagnosed with cellulitis in one of my eyes and did not want to end up with meningitis. The first few days were rough with a lot of heartburn and diarrhea, but as so many other people have mentioned, this can be managed by taking it after or with a meal, eating foods that are not acidic and drinking a lot of water. The good news is that only after 4 hours and the first dose, the swelling started to disappear. It sucks to take it, but it works."


"I've always had mild psoriasis growing up since my grandma and dad had it. This year I stopped using clobatelsol propitiate tropical cream and my psoriasis got so bad I finally turned to western medicine!! I tried ortzela starter pack for two months and lost about 10 pounds, thank god, but my psoriasis seems like it got worse!!! I'm going to stop taking the medicine as it has spread all over my body and face :("


"Its worked wonders for me."


"I took this medicine for the first time in my life when I was 19 years old. It didn't work, it gave me the worst side effects ever. Upset stomach, bad headache, body cramps, and dizziness."


"Saved my life.. so thankful. Noticed that it's important to take Buspirone either on an empty stomach or with food. Otherwise you will probably notice dizziness for 15-20 minutes.
My mind is completely calm and you feel normal. Life is wonderful! "


"I have suffered for many years with AS and Degenerative Disc disease. With all the NSAIDs, Methotrexate, and pain killers I developed ulcers in my esophagus, stomach and duodenum. Thankfully my Doctor decided to switch me to Morphine because it is easier on the system. Now I take 60 mg MS Contin twice a day and 4 to 6mg Dilaudid as needed for breakthrough pain. The plus is that the ulcers have all healed and although the pain is not totally gone it is very manageable. The minus is that I have had to gradually increase my dosage over the years because your body learns to tolerate it. Adjusting to a new dose can take a little while and it causes constipation (Benifiber works great)."


"I was on Seasonique for a 3-month cycle. During that period of time, I gained about 15 pounds, experienced horrible irritability, and I bled so much I was practically on my period for 3 months. Everyone has different experiences with birth control, but mine was really terrible with this particular medication."


"I put the patch on the night before a planned mountain excursion.  The morning I woke up, my vision was extremely blurry (couldn't read), I had severely compromised mobility (stumbling and tripping), decreased ability to comprehend what was being said to me, as well as very dry mouth. I also began hallucinating, so I took the patch off.  Within 1 hour I started to feel a little more in control, and after 10 hours the side effects seemed to be gone.
I had the patch on for a total of 8 hours, and felt like the patch was WAY too strong - to the point of overdose.  I made sure to wash my hands after putting on the patch.
I also take ortho-tri cyclin lo, propranolol 60mg for migraines, and Zyrtec."


"After being diagnosed with Attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP) (a genetic disease of the colon), I have had 6 colonoscopies, 5 with propofol and 1 with twilight sedation. By far, propofol is the best! You come out of it fast, and feel fine afterwards, whereas with twilight sedation I was out the rest of the day and was depressed afterwards. Strange feeling/mood from that. Propofol had no after effects. Wednesday having another colonoscopy with propofol! Yay!"


"This was prescribed for spasms but I found it also lowers my bp. My bp and heart rate has been crazy over 5 yrs. At times my bp too low & heart rate too high. Top too low, bottom high. A lot of the beta blocker & channel blockers would drop my bp too low too fast. I couldn't be on any of them regular cuz of this so I just use tiz. To lower my pressure & at night to sleep at times but seems give me nightmares & depression. Also my mom takes it at night & it lowers her bp & knocks her out. She doesn't move all night. "


"I have to say I've this medicine a 7 out of 10 because it has brought me out of both some wicked manias and depressive episodes. The sedation is a love-hate relationship with me- It's nice for my anxiety, but is also a nuisance. I MUST take this medicine 12 hours before I need to wake up, or I have trouble waking up. I feel it does interfere with my creative and intellectual abilities a tad bit. Overall, however, it's good med."


"This medication worked perfectly fine for me in  the beginning. Regular dryness and flaky skin. But now my face look like a war zone. There was more acne than before and my skin still has the dryness with a moisturizer. There's even flaking. But I it will get better in the upcoming months."


"Works perfectly for me"


"I stopped taking Savella during the 2nd week of the titration package.  I didn't feel any pain relief; maybe if taken longer term I would have.  I experienced many of the side effects others have discussed, including bloating, weight gain, anxiety, and dizziness.

I stopped taking Savella because I experienced a severe panic attack followed by weird heart beats, twitching muscles, electricity zaps, and vertigo. This is how a Serotonin Syndrome began for me 1 1/2 months ago for which I was hospitalized.

Perhaps I am at greater risk for Serotonin Syndrome, having had it before. Still, I caution you to be careful if you are on other serotonin medicines, and Imitrex. Savella will augment the serotonin effects and may leave you very sick."


"Valtrex is EXCELLENT. I, like most of you here, take it when I feel a slight tingle or little tiny cut on my lip. I just down about 4 of them and it's gone before it begins. I haven't had one cold sore in over 1 year now and I only got the virus about a year and a half ago. As you get older, the virus tends to be beat down by your body's natural immune system. "


"It's definitely not for me. I switched from Camila to Vienva because I was worried that I had to take Camila at the exactly same time.
If you have a history of depression, don't try vienva or similar ones.
On the tenth day I was completely out of control of my own thoughts. Very irritated and depressive. I stopped immediately and got better. I don't think it's a coincidence
If you do not have a history of depression it may work for you, though."


"I started off on 5mg they had no effect so Gp upped to 10mg. By the second day the pain had reduced substantially and things felt good. I've suffered for eight years with sacroiliac pain S1, herniated discs L4/5/6 at base. Just had successful total hip op. However I've had to come off them due to the very bad side effects, nausea, crawling itchy feeling under the skin,unable to sit in the sun and if I did suffered greatly, irritability, very low mood, and worst of all hot flushes. I'm back to my old self now. When peps start telling you you've changed, it's no joke and was very relieved to get them out of my system. Having said that, I know they work for some."


"I took this medication for about a year with an antidepressant. The combination kept me from suicidal episodes. Unfortunately, the itching was constant and became intolerable so I stopped taking it. Nothing else comparable to the benefits of Lamictal."


"Awesome drug with no narcotic hangover. With radiation damage to all the organs that I still have, the pain never goes away. Nucynta (600mg/day has allowed me to have a tolerable life and work much better. Best medicine since vioxx (which was removed from market). My pain level is down to a 6 or 7 now. Very pleased. Much better than traditional opioids that cause highness, mental and go problems. Clear headed on this med."


"I have been on Lexapro for almost 5 months now and I am doing great. It has really helped a lot. I don't have the negative thoughts like I did and I can actually have positive thoughts. The only downside that I see is the drowsiness. But I am super sensitive when it comes to medicines that "can cause drowsiness". I can function but I go around yawning a lot. That is getting better though. I have tried taking it before bed to see if that would help."


"I started using Ibersatan about 2 years ago, after I developed severe side effects on Perindopril.  My blood pressure is well controlled and I thought the medicine was okay.  About 2 months ago, I went for holidays and missed out on treatment for a month%u2019s but I felt much stronger contrary to the expected.  On resuming treatment, I became very ill. I have been experiencing, hot flushes, cramps in my thighs, night mares, severe hot flushes and extreme weakness.  At first I thought it was malaria, but the tests were all negative. I took anti-malarial medication just to be on the safe side. The symptoms have just intensified. I also wondered (still are) for a while whether it is early menopause.  I have had several gout attacks while taking irbesartan."

"You still have to get turned on, but once you're turned on you're  GOOD TO GO.  The only thing that sucks about this medication is the cost!  You can get one free prescription (depending on the dosage and amount of pills your doctor gives you) but thats it!  I'll be switching off of this medicine "


"started on lowest dose, i seem to be able to tolerate this where i have not been able to tolerate many other type meds. used to treat fibro. and chronic pain. can not tolerate any drug classified as anti-depressant. Have used narcotic pain meds. which did relieve pain the best but as i built up a tolerance to the dosage i was given a higher dose plus had to take other meds. to relieve the many other symptoms that comes with Fibro. To me narcotics was just band aiding my pain and i refuse to use narcotics for my condition. I think Lyrica will help with a lot of my symptoms on a much higher dose. My Dr. just started me on lowest to see if i could tolerate planning to increase dose now. I need input on dosage per day for best relieve."


"I have been dealing with migraines for 20 years. Tightness in my neck, and head along with sensitivity to light. I always just dealt with them and took excedrin, aleve, Tylenol, motrin, just to name a few, and nothing really worked. I ended up finally going to a neurologist who happened to suffer from the same migraines that I have. He prescribed treximet along with amitriptilyne daily and my life has changed forever since that day. It WORKS! Once I feel a migraine coming on I take it and it is gone in 20 minutes. When I would get migraines before they would last for up to 4 days."


"LOVE Contrave! I have been on Contrave for some time now. 37 yrs old, 5' 4". To date I am down 63 pounds :) I did not lose my weight overnight, so do not get discouraged. I still get to have the foods I like, just MUCH smaller portions. I get so full, and stay satisfied until my next meal. I drink lots of water throughout the day. The only side effect I have had is cotton mouth, jolly ranchers help a lot. I do like that they offer a coupon to help cover the cost, my insurance does not cover it. When I first started taking Contrave, my out of pocket with the coupon was $60.00, now I pay $90.00. I have no clue why the cost went up :( I have had several friends get on Contrave because of my results. My own doctor was very pleased as well."


"Within in a month I had quit smoking after 47 years. My wife and son was so thankful to the manufactors of Chantix. I have wanted to quit for a long time and just did not have the will power to do it. Thanks to Chantix, the suppport of my family and friends. At 64 I am smoke free and I am going to stay smoke free. If there was some way for me to plead with every smoker out there to get Chantix and give it an honest try to quit, I am pretty sure if they want to quit there will be a 100% success rate."


"Tylenol 3 did not work for me. I was suffering from unbearable pain from a tooth infection that kept me up all night. after 30mins the pain did not go away. After 1 hour still no relief. I wouldn't recommend this medicine to anyone."


"I would rate this above 10 if I could.  This is the best birth control I have ever taken.  I suffer from PMDD and my time of the month without yaz I feel like I could hurt people for no reason at all, just because I didn't like the way they looked at me or what ever. Anyways Yaz has helped that out so much.  My husband is so happy with the results.  I have had no weight gain, no cramping and only 3 day periods with very little bleeding and the best part is no irritability or major mood swings."


"I took Trulicity .75 for about 6 months and it was great!  Lowered my A1C from 10 to 7.8!  My doctor thought I should try the 1.5mcg dose to see if I could lower my A1C a little more.  I have been on the higher dose for just over 2 months now and am not well.  I have headaches 2-3 days a week and diarrhea and tired all the time it seems.  I am scheduled to recheck my A1C soon, so will see if it is worth the 'sick' feelings."


"This is the worst birth control! I have been on it for about 2 and a half months and for the first month I had light bleeding/ spotting almost every day. I don't weigh myself very often so I'm not sure if I have gained weight, but my appetite has increased a ton and I am eating really unhealthily. I feel very tired in the mornings even when I wake up at 11AM or later and I feel very lazy and just want to lay around all day. This pill has greatly increased my anxiety which I have normally, and I am a lot more emotional (I cry at almost anything now!). I feel very irritable all the time, and the littlest things can set me off now (I am usually a calm person) I really hate this birth control and wish I had read reviews before I was put on it."


"Worked well for migraines when given intravenously. Have not tried pill form yet but have prescription."


"I started baclofen 10mg three times a day because I started having painful muscle spasms in both legs usually at night.
The spasms are taking longer to end. Bruising  is sometimes noticeable.I started taking the drug 3 months ago, after a car accident.A brain injury was diagnosed."


"I have had head lice for 3 months, my teen age daughter passed it to me. I have thick curly hair. I'm desperate. I have used permethrins, and other over the counter medications. It seems it tames the lice, it stops itching me for 3 or 4 days and I go back again with itching. I am not infested. It is just one two or three that keeps on surviving. Some body checks my hair about every week and she can't find eggs but I see the red bumps in my scalp. I am going to get this natroba and I am praying it will work. I can't sleep because my scalp itches."


"I have never suffered from acne but after 3 months of taking this birth control I started breaking out with cystic acne,pimples and white heads.  I also bought proactive and it didn't help me form breaking out I have been off this bc for two days ."


"I've been taking invega (all forms) since 2011. I have to say it is a god send. Risperdal and abilify gave me sexual dysfunction. This at least allows me to get an erection. It's done a great job at controlling my positive symptoms of schizophrenia. The voices are dulled down to the point of single sentences and like only 1-4 times a day so it's a lot more managable in day to day life. Started on sustenna, went on the tablets and now on Trinza. All versions work very well for me. This medication is the metabolite form of risperdal and it's a god send. It's easier on the liver and I highly recommend sustenna and Trinza as the form to take for schizophrenia/schizoaffective!"


"Traumatic experience caused me to suffer major depressive disorder.  Tried therapy, didn't work. Finally tried medication two years later. Doctor prescribed me viibryd. Took my first dose in the morning, by lunch time I felt sick and nauseated.  Had to leave work bc I felt so awful.
My doctor lowered my dose and I didn't feel nearly as bad the next four weeks. I didn't notice a change in my mood.
I went on vacation and forgot to pack my meds  (I know how horrible it is to stop taking my meds) the come down was un real...  I spent the whole vacation in bed too tired to leave..

When I arrived home from vacation I took my meds again and I was instantly sick. I began hallucinating and puking, it felt like a bad acid trip."


"Love it! Nothing better, works wonders for chronic migraines and arthritis plus it gets me back on my feet as if I was a teen again. Gives me the little boost needed to get me through my day with limited side effects. I would recommend doctors prescribe this medicine over any other narcotic pain killers. This pill has really saved my life. It's truly amazing."


Anemia Associated with Chronic Renal Failure

"Works well, but not super long acting, jnjections twice monthly."


"I had sex for 4 days straight! "


"I have taken Pradaxa for 6 months and have started having severe back pain in the lower back and also in the hipbones.  Stopped taking it AMA and the pain lessened significantly.  Another ultrasound showed that the clot has moved from calf to thigh so although my leg feels 90% better, the clot is still present and on the move."


"When anxious and paranoid, I take 6 mg  at night and sometimes in the day. It stops the symptoms . I only have symptoms rarely.I can then focus or sleep.

More than this dose knocks the crap out of me. Works for me when required."


"I am taking 450 mg Bupropion daily and was still hitting the wall. Crying, fear, anger. Had lots of therapy and been on lots of antidepressants. Felt like my life was over.

Saw my dr four days ago and told her I wasn't doing well. We talked and she decided to proscribe Prozac 20 mg in addition to Bupropion.

I am tolerating the side effects...no appetite,

nervous feeling, sketchy stomache, head feels too big...seriously!

One thing: I have less body pain. Fibro was active  but less so now. That's great.

I am an artist and I cannot concentrate or keep my focus. Hoping that clears up soon.

Will be back to report on my progress."


"I went to the doctor from experiencing mild acne, especially on my forward head. I have combination skin, oily and dry in different places. Also scaring from previous acne. The doctor prescribed the cream Duac, she told me to wear it at night before I go to bed and wash my face off in the morning. Its been a few days now and I already see a change. No new pimples are appearing, old acne clearing, and past scars are fading. It is in my opinion, very effective and quick. However, it does dry out your skin, but along as you moisturise it should be fine. I would definitely recommend this product."


"Started Saxenda nearly 3 weeks ago.NO change in hunger levels. I started at 123kg and am still there.I have no other symptoms ie cholestrol/hormones in range, blood pressure is always spot on.There are days where I'm not hungry but I cannot put this down to the drug and then most days where the hunger is ridiculous.I rang my GP and told her this.She said to keep going. She asked if Saxenda have been in touch with me - answer no even though I have registered -there is supposed to be support network. Will keep going until reach the full dose but if nothing happens will ditch it but will call my GP to let her know what I am doing.Good luck to everyone finds this drug works for you."


"I started taking Uloric 5 weeks ago. It seems to be working alright. I have tried several medicines for this ailment allopurinal, colchicine, steroids, vicodin. It took me a week to get off those, had bad reactions on allopurinol i.e. rashes, swelling of the stomach and lips. Colchicine diarrhea so bad I couldn't work. Anyway Uloric has been pretty effective so far. I have also tried apple cider vineger, baking soda, herbal remedies none as effective as Uloric. Only drawback to it I don't have insurance and Uloric is $200.00 for a 30 day supply."


"I have been prescribed many nerve medications but now that I am on Klonopin I feel like a brand new person. I actually feel like getting out and being more social with people.

A big thanks to the people who made the little nerve pill called klonopin. You have made my life so much more worth living. I actually want to be around my family and friends now.

Thank you very much for making my life so much easier."


"I've been reading some of these reviews, and felt the need to say that everyone will react differently. I have just completed my first week of this pill and haven't noticed anything too extreme. I just had some mild vaginal discomfort, but nothing bad at all. I was on my old birth control for just over a year, but switched pills because of breakthrough bleeding and cramps. From what I can tell, my mood or sex drive hasn't changed at all."


"I've been on Paxil 10mg for 18 years, I used to have severe panic attacks and general anxiety disorder. This has helped me live my life, anxiety is a debilitating sickness that interferes with everything you do in life, but only the people who have it can understand that, I recommend it to anyone who has anxiety."


"So when I first got this birth control, I loved it. I had no side effects besides the spotting and rarely having any periods (had at least two actual periods within 7 months) I did not gain or lose any weight but I think since it is a long term birth control you never know when the side effects will kick in? Now after 7 months of having it inserted, I have gotten a lot of acne on my face that I never before have gotten and I get mood swings. not only that but there are times where I have 0 sex drive and I do not get wet enough I am considering getting it removed soon."


"I love thus stuff if you have a cough this stuff is like gold.  I don't know why others say it doesn't work. It does on my family."


"I have had Nexplanon since September 2013 after I had my son in August. I did experience bruising at the insertion site I have all the acne and abundance of cravings. I am extremely moody and keep getting into depressive states. When I got the Nexplanon I did not get a period whatsoever once I start getting close to my year in June I got a period that lasted until July. I feel awful my hair is starting to fall out and my face looks like a pizza dough. Going to get this removed immediately."


"this was a terrible drug for me. I can't tell you any physical side affect because I stopped taking it immediately after a week. This drug made me scared to go to work. Every time I get ready for work this incredible fear about going to work would possess me. I would call my job and tell them am sick when I was actually afraid. I would have my aunt call my job for me to call out because I was afraid. I would try to bring courage to go to work but the closer I was to work the worse the fear would be. I called out 4 times in a row. I almost got fired. when I stopped taking it, it all went away."


"1mg during a panic attack is good with minor dopiness felt. 0.5mg if panic is on-setting and to keep it at bay."


"I never really had acne until my senior year in high school. I always washed my face before I went to bed, and I tried about every type of face wash you can think of. It took me a year to go to the dermatologist just because when my acne seemed to be getting bad it would clear up again. I never had cystic acne, but I still felt uncomfortable with my skin. I finally decided to go to a dermatologist, and I'm so thankful I did. I've been on this medicine for almost a month, and my skin is just so much better. The doctor put me on the 100 mg medicine for a total of 3 months, & I also use Tretinoin cream a few times a week. Cetaphil face wash, and Aveeno moisturizer are also things I use on the daily to keep my skin clean and from drying out."


"Works extremely well for my pain. Chronic back pain and dislocated hip joint. Works better if taken as soon as pain begins. Highly addictive and well known street drug. Never tell anyone, teenagers, thst you have them. Take only ax needed as needed because of tolerance build up."


"This medicine is absolutely amazing for Chronic Pain. HOwEVER, coming off of it is the absolute worse experience I have ever had the displeasure of experiencing. Please don't take this medication for longer than indicated. The relief you are feeling now, unfortunately, is not worth the pain you will experience when you stop taking it."


"This product works great."


"i am a Desert Storm veteran and for years i have suffered at the hands of depacote, lithium and wellbutrin (one after the other) and i just felt more and more miserable and doomed. then my doctor prescribed zoloft 2 years ago and it literally saved my life. now i am able to function normally and am really enjoying my life for the first time in 2 decades. it is my life saver and has changed my life forever. before zoloft i felt so depressed and hopeless. thank you, you have given me my joy in life back!"


"I have cervical cancer after only 9 months after my kidney cancer. This patch takes away the pain but makes me loopy. Feels like I am very drugged. I would not attempt to drive with it in my system."


"Propranolol worked great for me until I was put on the 80mg slow release capsules. After 2 months of taking them I felt like a zombie every morning, and the effect would last all day until late evening. I thought I was going mad and was seen by the mental health team at the hospital who told me that propranolol can actually cause depression in some people!!! I gradually reduced the dose but now my anxiety symptoms have come back and I have insomnia."


"I take 160 mg of Geodon, half at dinner and half before bed. I used to take it in the morning but it would knock me out cold. Now I am dead to the world at night but can get through the day. I have been on many medications and Geodon is the only one that didn't make me feel that my life was in danger and claustrophobic. I never did hear voices or delusions, just grandiose thinking. If you have to take medication, Geodon is far superior to the other antipsychotics. I developed partial blindness and tardive dyskinesia on the others. But Geodon does slow you down and cause weight gain."


"I started taking Copaxone in mid-August 2016.  The first 3-4 months, I didn't notice any real difference. After the first few weeks, I didn't have any more site reactions.  For the last two months, I'm experiencing terrible joint pain. Leg cramps in the middle of the night, my hips are stiff; my shoulders hurt. just a little while ago, my hand was shaking sooo bad. It's scared me. So here's the thing - I'm not experiencing any of the other MS symptoms that I had before taking Copaxone. Gone are those electrical shock sensations, I'm not really  more numb, the weird feeling that runs down my spine. It seems like I've traded one set of symptoms for another.  Before copaxone, I enjoyed exercising. Now not so much. :("


"This birth control gave me chronic yeast infections, uncomfortable vagina, mood swings, nausea. I can't even enjoy having sex so it defeats the purpose of the pill. "


"It's so difficult looking at reviews because so many are negative. I have moderate depression and generalized anxiety disorder. I started taking antidepressants pretty young maybe 6th or 7th grade. I took lexapro, Prozac, and something else before I got on Zoloft. I just recently got off Zoloft to see how I'd do without it and so far I've been okay. Anyways, Zoloft was practically a life saver for me. I'm not sure if I have experienced any of the side effects, but if I have they obviously didn't make much of a difference.  This review is here to say don't be scared to take Zoloft it might be the perfect drug for ya!"


"I was taking Lyrica following a trial of Cymbalta failed miserably.  I was titrated up to 150 mg twice a day.  4 days following the last increase in dose I noticed substantial foot and lower leg swelling. I promptly stopped taking the medication following consulting my physician."


"They are a huge help, I have post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and agoraphobia and if I didn't have Xanax don't think I could go out of the house. I also have seizures and take Topamax. Everything got worse when my libido passed! Now I can do the things I used to do!"


"This drug helped my depression and suicidal thoughts for about four weeks, and everything came but...but was way worse. My depression and suicidal thoughts were worse than they were before I was on the medicine so I stopped taking it."


"I was breaking out badly on the sides of my cheeks, then I couldn't take it anymore so I went to the dermo and they prescribed me Acanya. After 2 weeks I noticed a difference for sure. The big cysts I would get or just all these pimples I got in 1 spot started fading away instantly. It is take time, I had to pop some and then put the cream on. It's been 3 months so far and no breakouts or acne whatsoever. I just use cetaphil and that medication and done. (:"


"Though Mirena has worked wonderfully for some, I am NOT one of those. Unfortunately I have suffered, horrible headaches, SEVERE bloating, flatulence and weight gain and skin rash. I also just recently started to get acne. The only positive experience I have had, is that I have VERY light bleeding occasionally (suffer from endometriosis) so that has been a nice change. "


"I have been on this drug for 5 weeks now and i finally acquired myself. Though i had this panic attack all of a sudden, and i did not even know what panic attack is. I went for all types of heart tests etc before someone suggested to see a psychiatrist.I found the courage to go to a psychiatrist and he prescribed this med. I used to feel sad, unsure and even sort of lost at times.Good that i went to this doc without waiting for the symptoms to go on their own as one doctor had advised. I feel so good now. The reason of my posting here is that i used this forum to know about this drug and i also want to add my experience so others are also helped."


"On May 28th me and my boyfriend had unprotected sex at the lake. He pulled out well before anything happened and finished later. One hour later we decided to do it again, and when he pulled out we saw there was pre cum. We were both terrified of a pre cum pregnancy so we went and got plan b a little over a day after we did it. I was supposed to get my period June 9th and it never came. each day my period was late worried us even more. I kept having symptoms of a period but it never came!! I was so scared I was gonna end up pregnant, I'm only 16. But today I finally got my period!!!!! 4 days late!! Ladies, don't worry your period will come!!! we are so thankful for plan b!! Always using condoms every single time now!!! Hope this helped!!!"


"I was nervous all day waiting for my first pill and was kind of shaking during my dinner, I took my pill right after that. Two hours later I felt relaxed, a little dizzy, my ears were hearing a whistle, my face was a little red but I was happy."


"I LOVED Cymbalta, I felt wonderful, no aches and pains, no depression, I had my life back. I was paying $90 for a 3 month supply... THEN it happened, my co-pay went to $1000 for a 3 month supply! I want to cry, I obviously can't afford that so I got switched to Venlafaxine, I now have a constant slight headache and it makes me nauseous, my anxiety is back. Dr. switched me to Prozac yesterday, we shall see but what I would not give to have my Cymbalta back."


"Benign Prostate Hyperplasia for about 5 years. Flomax worked but horrible side effects (muscle aches,
dizzy, stomach pain, dreams) so switched to Rapaflo about 8 months ago, works very well on small tab of 4 mg, but some side effects, dry sex, lack of interests (which at 65 isn't that bad) so I quit medicine for 3 weeks but my flow is so
slow I developed infection, so then I start again for a month or so, but this time I am developing heart pain and stomach churning, gas. etc. with it so don't know whats
next. "


"I just started Byetta 4 days ago on 5mg and will increase to 10mg in a month. I have been taking 45mg of Actos before starting Byetta. Actos did bring my glucose into the mid to low 100's just as Byetta does, but I have loads more energy on Byetta. I didn't realize that I was dragging because I lost my energy slowly over the years. After 2 days on Byetta I appreciate feeling just normal again. I love Byetta."


"I envy the people who have had success with Celebrex.  I need both knees replaced for osteoarthritis, and I also have pain in my back, neck, elbows, hips and wrists.  I've been on Celebrex for 6 or 7 years.  When I first used it, it used to make me very dizzy.  But it NEVER ever relieved any pain for me!

I always had to pop multiple Tylenol, Motrin or Advil to supplement, in order to get even minimum relief.

My doctor put me on Arthrotec today, and I am really hoping for success.  If that doesn't work, he's going to try me on Tylenol-3 (codeine-based)."


"I started viibryd for anxiety disorders, major depressive disorder and paranoia. I have been taking it for 9 days (the starter pack). Now on 20 mg.  It seems to be working great for my depression, paranoia and I don't get irritated like I used to. My outlook on life has changed dramatically. Happier and still able to achieve orgasm, unlike other antidepressants. I take Ativan at night for sleep and anxiety, so I have not had any nightmares. The only downfall with viibryd is my back and neck are very tense and achey. Diarrhea first few days but it goes away. Has anybody else experienced muscle aches/tension? If so please let me know."


"Can not get out of bed (worse than normal). Depression lifted slightly. Very anxious that it won't work, but feeling positive because I believe in the end it WILL work. Giving this 100% my best try."


"I started taking Vicodin and carisoprodol 1 tab twice a day. I lived with pain for years until I started the medicines. But now it's creeping up to where I have to take them all the time.  Usually I take two Vicodin and 1 carisoprodol or the other way around just to feel fine.  I worry because I understand it can be addictive. "


"I smoked for 38 years and knew I would need some type of hand to mouth jesture for a nicotine replacement in order to quit. I have been smoke free now for five months. No withdrawel symptoms at all. I am surprised! Great product!"


"I was prescribed gabapentin for back surgery pain, and nerve pain from diabetes...  I'm on the max dose, 1200 mg 3 times a day... All I can say is thank you Load for freeing me up from the opiates!  My mood is great, I sleep well and my pain has diminished by 75%! I am 63 years old, forced to retire due to excessive back pain (3 surgeries, one spinal fusion) and very bad nerve pain in my feet and hands... I've had no side effects and all my doctors (I've had triple bypass also... No heart attack, thank God.. No damage to my heart) have said there is no reason to discontinue using it !"


"I used this for about a week, it caused severe dry mouth and loss of appetite."


"My period ended on the first of November. Two days later I had protected sex, but the condom had broke. This was around 7 or 8 o'clock at night. All of the pharmacies were closed so I had to wait. I found Plan B One Step at a local pharmacy and I had taken the pill within 48 hours. Because of the pill I've experienced a lot of irritability. It basically just feels like PMS. Today, 6 days after I took the pill, I noticed light bleeding and I've had a little bit of cramping. "


"I use Claritin D for my seasonal allergies. I started again this May, after taking it for a week I have noticed my heartbeats faster than normal (100's now from 60's) and my blood pressure went up from 110's systolic and 70's diastolic to 140's/90's with headaches. So, I was thinking what's going on with me, I started salad and no salt diet for a week now (lost 5 pounds and feels good), increased my cardio to 45-60mins 4 times a week, cut sodium intake but my Blood Pressure stays high. I started reading about Claritin D and BOOM. This is what is causing my blood pressure to rise up! Today, I stopped using it. Sticking to the plain Zyrtec."


"I've been on this pill for about 2 years. I originally started taking it to relieve my horrible periods, not to avoid pregnancy. I normally have really horrible periods that last 7-9 days with heavy bleeding, immobilizing cramping, and sometimes nausea. Thank God for this pill! The first 6 months I would have periods every 2 weeks, and with every month they got lighter and lighter until my period disappeared completely. I will occasionally spot, but it will only last a day or two. I have NO cramps (such a life saver!). I have taken other birth control pills and none of them worked this well for me.
As far as side effects, I have absolutely NO sex drive and bad acne (I used to have a really clear face)."


"I started  Paxil after telling my doctor I had general anxiety and the medication worked after two weeks. At the time my anxiety wasn't high but it was a level 3 out of 10 so the medication helped out. I was able to be more social and worry less traveling around NYC, but I noticed that I started to gain weight which sucked. After 6 months I wanted to come off because I noticed i never really needed it and this was the hard part. Coming off it was horrible! It made me have higher anxiety without it, and it was anxiety I never experience before. I've been off for 4 months and I still haven't felt the same since before taking Paxil. I'd really recommend taking any medication like Paxil if you really need for panic attacks or high anxiety."


"Only pain med that has worked consistantly for a long period of time but you must be careful. If being outside in sun it must be covered to prevent over dose because heat will increase output.

Worked best for me with a low dose and using methadone for breakthrough but most Dr's wont prescribe methadone because of stigma associated with its normal use but had my pain level to around 3. Roxycodone can only get me to 6 at best."


"May have some help to relieve back pain.  60mg gave me heart palpitation.  30mg may be suboptimal.  Tried to wean off several times but gave me some undesirable effects like malaise and anxiety.  Urinary retention is a worrisome effect with Cymbalta for me."


"Have been taking humira for my severe ulcerative colitis since 2013. This drug has worked wonders for me I sometimes forget I have colitis. Only side affects I've seen are sensitivity to the sun and recurring infections...would take that over spending the day in the bathroom."


"This medication has helped me exponentially, I was addicted to opiates for the past 8 years. I was in and out of hospitals with no positive outcome in sight, this is the first time I have been able to maintain any kind of sobriety. Along with other support the cravings have never been so minimal. All I can say is that I'm truly happy that I was prescribed this medication."


Amlodipine / hydrochlorothiazide / olmesartan

"Does great at keeping my blood pressure down but since I've been taking it I constantly feel dizzy and within the last week or so I've developed a constant cough about two-three hours after I've taken it.  In the beginning I chalked it up to allergies or me coming down with a cold, but I take the med in the evening at 5pm and by 8 I'm a coughing mess, the next day I barely cough but then I take the med at 5 and it's happening again so I'm figuring it's from the med.  The dizziness is brutal, if I bend down to pick up something and stand up too quickly I feel like I'm about to black out, never do but the feeling is there.  I doubt I stick with this for too long.  Only been on it for a little over a month."


"I recently started the pill and now I have side affects.  It's been three days.  I felt normal on the first and second. Now for the third day I've been throwing up. The pill is horrible taste hideous. I'm not complaining but thanks for the info on how to get them down without a taste."


"i have fibromyalgia,oa as well as ra.i had been on morphine 1800mgs daily for almost 8yrs.and it helped me escape from the abusive man i was married to(now divorced) and went thru the total hell of withdrawl ive never experienced since that 20 yr marriage!!the withdrawl of the opiates were worth it to get myself and my 2 teen sons lives in order.im currently on gabapentin 300mgs a day,and what a miracle drug its been without the hateful narcotics!! "


"Tykerb along with Xeloda have stabilized my tumors.  I have been on these medicines for a year."


"This birth control regulated my period, made my skin look great and made my boobs grow. It made me very hungry all the time and my sex drive went shooting up. good stuff"


"first off, let me start by saying that I am sensitive to hormones. I cant seem to find one that doesnt make me sick, or extremely moody. I was put on this for Endometriosis pain, and the first day I took it, ate with it and was fine. The second ay I took it, I also ate with it, about 8pm, I went to bed at midnight and woke up at 4 am sick to my stomach, shaking and my heart racing, just like I have before with another pill and was vomiting for about 2 hours. I am now, 2 days later, bleeding and my period wasnt suppose to be here until 2 weeks from now !!! . It doesnt feel like a period, but its not fun either. Wouldnt reccomend for anyone who is hormone sensitive,."


"Horrible burning, made my itch even worse after application,  I used this two previous times 2014 and 2016 with good results but not this time apparently the formula was changed cause the pain and itch is unbearable !!! Don't buy this Monistat 7 it's. instead  go to the doctor . I'm even crying ugh!!!"


"DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION. I was prescribed the name brand of this medicine and my insurance decided that they would give me tri previfem instead. For the first 3 or so months, things were fine, no big differences. After that though, goodness gracious. Anxiety, depression, mood swings, NO SEX DRIVE, dryness "down there" no matter how bad I wanted to be. It's absolutely a horrible feeling not being able to be ready for your partner, and that puts such a stress on a relationship. On the menstrual time...... picture every horrible pregnancy symptom you could possibly have, triple it, and add to it the normals of your regular period. HEADACHES. If only the 1-10 scale had negative numbers. Save yourselves, and stay away from this medicine."


"I had my son on June 22nd. I received the depo shot at 3 weeks pp (July 13th) to "hold me over" until I could get my IUD put in in August. It is now September 11th (almost 12 weeks pp) and I have been bleeding since the day I had my son. I know for a fact this is not after birth. I had the IUD put in on August 27th. Regardless if I had the IUD put in or not, I would NOT be going back for another shot. SO tired of bleeding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


"Within weeks my plaque psoriasis disappeared. Chronic diarhea caused me to stop taking it. P came back within weeks.

Several months ago I was in a motorcycle accident and sprained my wrist. Never got better, got worse. Diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis. Thinking of trying it again. Don't know if I can take living on the toilet. Hoping my body will get used to it but not opptomistic."


"Gildess obviously works, I experienced no weight gain and shorter lighter periods.  My sex drive has decreased very badly, and I have been experiencing awful mood swings that are really starting to impact my day to day life and I am switching immediately."


"So on the 30th of July 2016 I turned 28 my birthday I didn't go crazy and party I spent the day with my kiddies an mum, that night was pored a glass of wine had a sip but wasn't feelin up to it so didn't. The next day on the 31st I woke up with a real sore head felt like I had the worse hangover ever even tho I hadn't actually drunk I felt awful but decided to go in to town anyway with mum, kids an my bestie for a little lunch an shoppin was then shoppin an had 4 grand mal seizures, woke up in hospital with a massive black eye and broken nose with not a clue what was going on, my mum an partner cryin tellin me I had just a scan an they found a tumour So they put me on keppra it's bad I have loads of side effects I feel like I'm going crazy"


"I got Nexplanon in October of 2014. Since getting it, I have not had a period. No spotting or bleeding, periods just stopped. It's great! No random breakouts on my face and no weight gain from it. Definitely the best option if taking a pill is hard for someone. I never could remember to take my pill, this was the best option. The insertion was much better than I thought and it's been great ever since."


"Negative.  Prescribed for Dry Socket after tooth extraction.  Terrible side effects, dizzy,tired but worse still feeling sick all the time stopping short of actually being sick due to sheer willpower as I detest being sick!  Pain off the scale, back to the dentist!"


"I began taking tramadol for very severe cramps during my period, and not only did it make the pain stop, it made me more productive and greatly helped my mood. I'm lucky in that it does not require a prescription where I live so I can buy it from my pharmacist. I take it along with Chinese herbs that really helped save my life ( TCM views depression as being a lack of life force or 'jing') and the combo of he shu wu, schizandra, and tramadol have done wonders for improving my quality of life. Tramadol is however habit inducing and the withdrawal can suck. I get essentially really bad restless leg syndrome when I've gone off of it, to the point where I can't sleep."


"Started on Fetzima 20mg and increased to 80mg over two weeks time.  Expected some weird feelings while coming off one med and starting another, but did not anticipate the horrible side effects that happened. By the time I got to 80mg, my GI tract was raw from mouth to anus. I am now on a PPI to repair my stomach. I also experienced dizziness, eye pain, blurred vision, sadness, forgetfulness, and weird dreams.  I saw no benefit from this drug and am currently titrating off under doctor's supervision."


"I have to give Vyvanse a solid 10. I asked my Dr to switch me from Adderall instant release 20mg 2x a day to Vyvanse and in my honest opinion this was the best decision I made. Vyvanse helps me focus, more motivation, feels more subtle which I absolutely love. Adderall for some reason made me feel like a different person, but with vyvanse I feel like myself still which is great. It is really long lasting, I don't know or understand how people say it only last for a few hours when in my experience it last a good 12-13 hrs. In fact I heard people say it loses potency after 4 hours or so but in my experience I think it actually increases. But this is just my experience, and maybe metabolism aswell but anyway I hope this is helpful for others."


"I was on minocycline100mg 1 time a day for exactly 5 weeks. the end of the 4th week I started breakout out in tiny little painful pimples all around my nose chin and forehead (places I never really had acne before) it cleaned the places I usually DO get acne pretty well though.  anyways my 5th week I never told my derm this happened and he decided on his own to switch me to bactrim because he said it'd be more effective. He told me start the new meds right away. I've been on the new meds for about a week now and the breakouts in those areas have gotten worse not better. I'm so confused :( also there are some side effects my Dr never warned me about. I felt dizzy and sick if I didn't take with food, also drink lots of WATER!!"


"I wouldn't recommend this birth control to my worst enemy. I had really bad side effects. My doctor told me a lot of people who have gotten it have it removed because of the severity of the side effects. (Mostly weight gain and depression)"


"When I was fifteen, I was diagnosed with manic depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Both caused me to have suicidal tendencies, panic attacks, and vomiting. Since taking a 20 mg dosage of the drug, I have been a lot better. The only issues with the medication are that it does not completely prevent panic attacks, it causes a heavy menstrual flow, and it causes drowsiness."


"I received the implanon June 2, 2015 and two weeks later I started bleeding consistently, every day. The bleeding didn't stop until mid March 2016, after being prescribed birth control pills, in addition to the implanon. It sucked. Felt like I was permanently  wearing a maxi pad for life.  I'm still in the works of trying to get to get it removed. The implanon sucks."


"I was walking the streets at night before I started Effexor. Diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder. Been on it over 10 years. Once in a while I try to ween myself off and I start to have those terrible feelings again. I will stay on it the rest of my life. I can live normally."


"I've been taking 50mg for 4 weeks now. It does work but it has dulled a lot of my emotions and many things I used to enjoy, I now find boring. I still have some anxiety but it has definitely made me calmer.

Also my sex drive is dead! I'm a 23 yo male and my previously high sex drive is gone! I also find it super hard to climax. I'm going to see a doctor about augmenting Zoloft with Wellbutin to counter this effect.

This medication is worth a shot but the sexual side effects and boredom are very troubling for me."


Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation during Pregnancy/Lactation

"I went through many vitamins during my first pregnancy because they all made me sick and left horrible tastes in my mouth.  This one is much better and I feel fantastic. I will be sticking with it throughout my pregnancy and during nursing my baby."


"The only bad thing I have to say about Implanon is insertion, that was traumatic for me. I'm a sucker when it comes to shots and the local pain shot is what hurt. Given, I've only had it in for just over 2 months, I have lost 30 lbs -post baby and I have spotted some here and there, but I personally would rather keep a liner in, in case of spotting on and off than to have a normal period. I have had a few mood swings but not as bad as the pregnant mood swings. The best part is no daily pill. I'm horrible at remembering to take a pill every day. I would recommend anyone looking for birth control to try the Implanon!!"


"Been on Vyvanse for three months now. I'm 6 foot 195 pounds and 20 years old but find even the 30 mg dosage to be more than enough for me. Experience occasional bouts of dizziness and when in stressful situation have some degree of chest pains. Lasts more than the full 12 hours for me. I have to wake up at 8 am in order to fall asleep around 1 AM.  Also when I take Vyvanse I notice some degree of hair loss. I feel as if my brain is telling my body to work and as a result my body is working in triple overtime to keep up."


"I began taking klonopin when it first came on the market in the 80's. When nothing else would even touch it, klonopin stopped my severe anxiety and panic attacks completely within the first week. Klonopin gave me my life back. I never thought I would be anxiety and panic free but I was and still am. This drug continues to be a miracle for me. I was on 4 mgs a day when my panic/anxiety was at its worst, but I am now on a low maintenance dose of 0.5mgs 2x a day. It's not for everyone, but for those who benefit from it, it's a godsend. Don't be afraid to try it. It changed my life for the better. Hands down, a miracle drug for me."


"I have had chronic Rosacea for at least the past 30 or more years, but only on my nose, and I have treated it with MetroGel cream each morning after I shower.  There have been no side effects, and it has controlled the Rosecea to the point where I have no redness or symptoms.  As a retired Air Force officer and pilot on Medicare, and with acccess to military pharmacies and now TRICARE for Life, my costs are zero."


"So, I give this 7 out of 10. I'd give it 10 out of 10, but the first week on this was really uncomfortable. I almost stopped using it. I started out at 10 mg buspar once a day and then after a week increased to 10 twice a day . The first week, I won't lie, was a doozy. My psych said that her patients either love it or hate it and it's pretty much 50/50 with little gray area. But since it's inexpensive, been around for a while, and is pretty safe, she likes that to be the first option when dealing with GAD. Fair. The first week, I was really, really dizzy. Felt a bit fuzzy in the head. kind of jumpy. I had to pull over while driving and sit down for a bit. BUT after about two weeks. Whoah. My life is changed. I'm no longer so anxious!!"


"I have been on this pill for almost a year now. I take it continuously as to not have periods due to my endometriosis. It was a wonderful pill with virtually no side effects until four months ago. I have breakthrough bleeding that lasted for 5 days. The next month I had breakthrough bleeding that lasted 4 days. The next month I had horrible pain but no bleeding. And finally this month (month 4) I have had excruciating pain and have been bleeding for 2 days so far. The pain is terrible and almost as bad as when I'm not on birth control. I'm going to my doctor to get switched. I would recommend this to anyone who was going on birth control for a short time but not any longer than 6 months."


"I just went for my year and a half follow up blood test its still negative ...I'm still amazed ....good luck"


"This patch is WONDERFUL!  I found that the patch was too strong for me in the begining, so I cut the patch in half. Just so I wouldn't have side effect afterwards, I cut it slightly smaller the day before hitting land. However finish taking the patch in a smaller dosage once on land."


"I started April 1st. Had my weigh in today and down 18 pounds.had nausea here and there but nothing bad.start weight 204 today 186"


"I have been taking this pill for a little over a year and I have had a wonderful experience with it. I did not gain any weight, and didn't have any side effects. The only downside that I am experiencing currently is that I've been getting my period recently during the second week of the pill pack so my gyno recently switched me to a different brand.  Everyone reacts differently to medication but I highly recommend this pill :)"


"Works really well for panic disorder for at night. I don't normally tolerate a lot of medicines!"


"can't tell much difference if any"


"After 2 days the pain is much better. Taking it with Cipro. The side effects are awful, terrible taste always, headache, dizzy, body aches like the flu. Want to throw up but can't. I try to sleep all day to make it go by quicker. I can no way work or drive my car.  I'll try to stick it out for a couple of more days."


"This was the first birth control I ever took. At first it caused   some spotting before I got my period, lots of random cramps, and I got my period around 3 days late and usually I'd get my period for 5 days, now I was getting it for 7-8 days. I spotted the next two months as well, and my period stayed at the 7-8 day length.
After 3 months, my periods went back to  normal.
My boobs grew a whole cup size. I went from a 36 c to a 38 D. I went from weighing 158 pounds to 182 pounds in the span of 7 months. My pant size went from a size 4-5 to  10. I got tired of being overweight, and I left these pills. It just wasn't cutting it for me.
I am 5'5 and 20 years old
THEY WORK, BUT NOT WORTH THE SIDE EFFECTS, (at least for me..)"


"Wow, what can I say, this medicine has changed my life. My head was the worst, completely covered. Had to put oil on it and leave it on most of day or over night. My head would be stiff after 3 days with the build up. After one treatment it was completely gone. So happy now. Was thinking about going on disability but now don't have too."


"I've tried the Xulane patch before in the past for about 2 years and plan on starting it again within the next few weeks. It did an amazing job keeping me from getting pregnant. I never had any issues with the patch coming off. I did experience some issues with vaginal dryness and low libido (which is a possible side effect for any hormonal birth control). I also had the worst PMS. I was a straight up B word. The reason I stopped is because I wanted to give my body a chance to get back to normal. I've been off for almost a year now, but now I'm concerned about getting pregnant so I have to get back on something. This birth control has the least amount of side effects for me so that's why I'm going back with it."

"So here I am,  sat in the same place as the rest of you! I'm 19 years old and it's the second time I'm drinking moviprep, this time in preparation for a capsule endoscopy (last time I had a colonoscopy). My first experience with moviprep was horrible, taking me 6 hours to drink the full 2 litres. Due to this, it's safe to say that I have been dreading drinking it again. Although, I am here after drinking the first litre in half an hour and can honestly say it hasn't been too bad (not as bad as I remember it at all!!) my method is simply drinking 3 gulps out of a pint glass and then sucking on a hard boiled sweet, if works a treat. It started working quickly on me, only 15 minutes after finishing the first litre. Good luck guys!!"
