"I've always had clear skin until recently, my skin isn't horrible but I never had to worry about pimples on my face.   I have always suffered from chest and back acne.   Been using this about a year now.  Not one pimple now,  this began working at week #1.  Everyone skin will react different to products,  instead of saying it doesn't work day it didn't work for you,  because this product is a winner and wonder healer."


"I took Atripla for two years.   Major bad side effects. Depression, insomnia, cholesterol issues, and pain. I recommend Complera.  I just switched to Complera and I can sleep again. "


"Love this medication. I suffered with painful periods and ovulation and terrible mood swings which all got worse after having my kids.  I tried various birth control pills but without a great improvement - especially with mood. I just had my third shot, I only gained 2 lbs since the first shot and I no longer have a period. I've had some slight acne but happy to manage that - overall for me it's been great. Very happy. I should add that I am taking calcium and Vitamin D also."


"The only side effect is weight loss and lower heart rate/blood pressure.  No food craving. Highly recommended!"


"Never EVER will I take Movantik again... Worst withdrawal symptoms EVER... And the nausea is horrible ..."


"this is a real scam !

it not work !"


"19 yrs Male 175 lb

I was diagnosed with ADHD in March, being an engineering major made my psychiatrist skeptical if I actually had ADHD (I do), so he prescribed me Strattera. He told me it was completely safe and had no side effects. I took it daily, for a month straight, and I felt nothing. I
told my psychiatrist this and he increased my dosage to 40 mg.

I continued taking my dosage daily and did not notice anything on the first week of my 40 mg dosage. However, I did start developing irrational thoughts. For example, I began thinking everyone hated me, soon after, I started becoming suicidal. I tried killing myself by overdosing on opiates, but my roommate called the ambulance. I stopped taking it, and I started feeling normal again."


"I have had Kyleena for 5 or 6 months now and I think it's the greatest thing ever. The first month was rough...the cramps were bad all the time and same with the bleeding. After the first month I still got cramps but not as bad as the first. I still get a period but it is extremely light. The reason I rated a 9/10 is the bad cramps I still sometimes get. I love having kyleena for birth control reasons because I'm still young and in college and not ready for a family. I have been with my boyfriend for many years but neither of us want to start a family yet. Kyleena allows us the peace of mind to practice unprotected sex without the worry of becoming pregnant. If you can or want to get Kyleena I 100% reccomend."


"DO NOT TAKE THIS!!! I've been losing weight and trying to tweak my meal plan but I sometimes don't get enough fiber and then become constipated. I took a single dulcolax before bed and woke up around 11:30 in extreme pain. I went to the bathroom and had a BM but immediately after I got so warm. I sat on the bathroom floor thinking I was going to die. I then proceeded to vomit. I will never take this again."


"7 years ago..had a P E  ..immediately diagnosed with COPD   first  med was SYMBICORT and then added SPIRIVA.... Still on SYMBICORT, but now combined with TUDORZA      Amazing  results in a month...  SYMBICORT thins the skin and I bruise very easily...that would be my only issue..."


"Finally decided to get serious about smoking cessation so my Dr put me on 150 mg 2X Daily of bupropion. I don't get all these people saying it increased sex drive, since it completely destroyed mine. Less overall interest, impossible to maintain an erection, next to impossible to orgasm my wife of 30+ years has been a hero through this and has really extended herself to help me get "there"). I have to agree with an earlier post regarding the validity of these comments. I can find not one shred of SCIENTIFICALLY documented evidence suggesting that sex drive or ability to orgasm is increased when only taking this drug for help stopping smoking. Guessing it must be pharm. reps writing these reviews."


"I was never taken BC before but I would say that this particular one suit me quite well. Before I took it I had an extremely irregular cycle, where I could go two or three months without having a period. Also, I experience pain and fainted from it. This BC has helped me with those inconveniences; also I do not break out with pimples. I haven%u2019t tried another brand OF BC but seem to work just fine for me"


"I've been on Viibryd for less than 2 months. My depression is gone and I handle my anxiety better, but I feel disconnected and confused 80% of the time. I forgot how to write a cheque and get hot water several times. I also become very shaky and I feel like nothing is real and it takes everything in me to stay sane. It's working and making me worse all at the same time and I'm not sure if these side effects will go away or not, but I work a lot and I can't afford to not function. Viibryd is helpful and harmful to me right now and I'm not sure what to do. I'm going to stick with it for 12 weeks and if the negative side effects don't go away, I'm going to switch."


"Took pill after a weekend without BC.  Unprotected sex was on day 5,6, and 7 of my cycle.  I took the pill on day 7. I am 42 years old.  I did not get my next period until NINE weeks later.  I did not experience cramping, nausea, or headaches."


"I was on Otho-Tricyclen for about 8-9 years and I had no acne problems.  However, when I stopped Otho-Tricyclen at 28, my acne was terrible.  I had painful cysts on my cheeks and forehead.  I tried Solodyn and it worked for a while, however it was NOT very effective for an extended period of time."


"I have been taking Remicade for several years and I love it!  I have not had any side effects.  I instantly feel better."


"I started Neurontin 3 weeks ago for my migraines.  I started at 400 mg per day and now I'm at 1200 mg per day.  I'm supposed to go up to 1600 mg next week.  These are taken in divided doses. At first I didn't notice anything but today I woke up and I didn't have a headache (I've had daily headaches along with frequent severe migraines for the past 3 straight months).  A mild one came and went a few times today but I feel better.  I'm a bit sleepy and I've been having some trouble remembering things (words, what I've done, etc.) and I've noticed that I've been a little more moody (not by much) but overall I'm happy that my headaches have improved.  They were ruining my life."


"I have been taking Pristiq since June 2009- almost 9 months.  I don't think I really had a clue at how depressed and anxious I was until I started on these medicines.  I remember going out on a boat and water skiing with no hesitations like the good old days! It was a beautiful thing! I was diagnosed with a rare auto immune disease and it literally consumed me from for two years. I would break down in doctors offices regularly, and started having panic attacks in the middle of the night and then finally during the day.   My side effects are on and off night sweats, and if I miss a pill I would have nausea and light-headedness, but otherwise sex is good!  It seems to work! Had weight loss = 5 lbs."


"I was prescribed 42 pills 250mg Metronidazole 2 pills three times a day. I'm on day 3 and the way I take it is I take the pill and than eat and drink a lot of fluids that usually helps with that nausea feeling or metallic taste"


"I've had mine for about 3 weeks now. I'm terrified of my first period since I've heard so many horror stories. When I got it put in it hurt REALLY bad felt like  labor but I had it placed at PP where they don't numb the cervix or anything. Afterward I cramped like contractions the rest of the day, but Ibuprophen helped a lot. I bled lightly for about 3-4 days and a week in I had sex which made me bleed very lightly on the toilet paper only for that night. Other then that I've forgotten I have it and I love it so far. I've had every other BC except the shot. The implant & mirena made me bleed for months on end so I was happy I stopped the bleeding a few days after getting this in. I'm still scared of my first period, but hopefully its not bad!"


"I spiraled out of control on pain pills about six years ago and it will be two years on this medication July 24/2010. It is taking me a little longer to wean off because I did have a relapse due to financial problems. This medicine is the best thing that can be out there for addicts. I hid it from my husband, mother, everyone that came around me. They had a slight idea that something was wrong, but since I was so mean and hateful they were all afraid to say anything to me about it in fear of what I would do. The first week of being on the medicine, my husband said that he could see a complete reversal of me and my personality. He says that he finally got his baby back."


"After suffering acute hip pain ,femer odema, shock wave therapy,MRI  scans revealed loss of cartilage and some arthritis  ,I had a cortizone injection which worked for 2 weeks and back to 10/10 pain .I had the Synvisc-one  injection which was very painful and had no effect for 4 weeks after which every day mobility improved and pain free movement ,with regular physiotherapy the mobility continues to improve every day after the treatment 4 months ago and I hope the results continue .100% recommend the product ,thanks so much for my improved quality of life ."


"This medicine is noting to mess with its very powerful and can change your entire personality while on this medicine I lost a relationship with my kids and my spouse I went from 120 to 98 pounds I would stay awake for days have violent mood swings and worst I felt suicidal all the time I was a mess no one knew who I was in was sick from losing so much weight and not sleeping none of this was me not of it got off the meds put my weight back on and fixed the relationships I ruined while this medicine I honestly think if I would have continue use it would be dead from either malnutrition or suicide BE AWARE VERY AWARE OF THIS MED!!"


"My doctor gave me samples of Belsomra and it kept me awake all night long. I literally got no sleep on this medication. Horrible medicine, I would not recommend this to anyone! I'm so glad I didn't spend money on this medicine!"


"I would have given this a higher rating, as I used to love this pill. I went through 3 months in the beginning of irregular periods which I knew would happen, and once that was over these worked beautifully. No mood changes, no weight changes, regulated my period for months, and now I've been on it for a year? maybe? and for the past 2 months I've had my normal period, and then ANOTHER period 2 weeks into the new pack of pills. In 2 months I had 4 periods. Then the next month it was regulated and now AGAIN, 2 weeks into the pill I am spotting AGAIN. This is ridiculous. "


"I was given Augmentin to take after I Got an ear infection in the left ear but also had a perferated ear drum on the right.

I went to the drs after a week and not only had the infection started to heal I now had an infection in both ears.

He prescribed me more and seemed stumped as to why i was not improving.

Its now been 2 weeks and I have suffered diarrhea and have been dealing with thrush for the past 3 days.

On top of this I am constantly in a massive state of confusion and my skin is dry and red, my pill have ceased to work.

I have stopped taking them and am seeing the dr tomorrow.

Not only did the antibiotics not help my original problem now i have a whole list of other issues i need to fix."


"Lexapro was really good for me in the beginning, but I began having suicidal thoughts after about 2 months.  I had a similar reaction to Prozac when I was a teen, so just be careful."


"I have taken Yaz a little bit more than a month. I got bad chest pain every night and it hurt when I was breathing. This side effect was unacceptable so I decided to stop it after I talked about it to my gynecologist. I also have discovered that I am very sensitive to hormones so the dosage was too high for me."


"I've been taking Brisdelle for almost a year and it has saved my life.  My hot flashes are very infrequent and I can actually sleep at night.  I have not any side effects that I'm aware of.  Unfortunately, my insurance company refused to pay for it so I'm using the manufacturers coupon.  Even with the discount, I'm paying over $70 a month which I cannot afford.  When I see my doctor again in June, I will have to get something less costly which I know will not be as effective.  I've tried other meds.  I'm hoping there is a generic soon or a less costly way to continue taking the drug.  It changed my life!!!!"


"This changed my life for the better! I am 35 and just got diagnosed with ADD/ADHD five days ago. I can focus and I don't feel like my brain is going 2,000 miles an hour. I remember things and can finish things I start in order. It's amazing!"


"I have always had acne, especially around my mouth and forehead. Cystic, painful and ugly. I've tried medicines, facials, expensive face washes, not washing my face, EVERYTHING. When I became pregnant the problem became so much worse. It was so bad I actually had people comment on it. I asked my baby doctor what I could do and she prescribed this gel. The problem stayed the same for a few weeks. It gradually got better and better and now I haven't have a break out in weeks. My skin tone is actually improving too. I would recommend this to anyone. I will continue to use this after having the baby as well."


"Nuvaring was the first birth control I was ever on and I've never had any terrible issues with it in the 4 years I've had it so far (18-21) My periods are so regular I can nearly tell down to the hour when it will start! My acne cleared up but I did gain a little weight but nothing crazy. Only issues is breast tenderness a week before my period that can get annoying but otherwise this birth control has been great and super easy to remember. Also, I was able to change my schedule for a vacation so I got my period a week before travelling which was amazing, it didn't screw up my body...just read the pamphlet on how to properly do this (and don't do it all the time!)"


"I was prescribed 25 mg for anxiety. I was nervous to take it, but did finally after not being able to sleep one night. I knew some people said it sedated them, so I was hoping it would just knock me out for while. Didn't do much the first night or two, but after that hump it has been working! I dont feel very different anxiety wise, though.. Like some said it might take the edge off a bit but nothing strong whatsoever. I do smoke weed however so it could be altering the affects for me.. not sure"


"I was introduced to Valtrex for HSV2 suppression in mid 2000 after surgery to my groin.  The outbreak was the worst I had experienced in the 20 years that I'd suffered.  The daily 500mg treatment worked immediately in clearing up the outbreak, and much more importantly, I've been OUTBREK FREE since then to the posting of this note, July 2011.  I'm a believer.  Now the VA has changed my prescription of Valtrex, once a day, to Acyclovir, 400mg twice a day.  I'm fervently hoping the suppressive qualities I've enjoyed with Valtrex remain...keeping my fingers crossed."


"I was a 2 pack/day smoker for around 25 years. Went on the drug Chantix and quit smoking without much difficulty.  It has been 10 months since I quit and I still have no desire to go back to smoking."


"My mom died when I was 4 and last semester I always had anxiety in the background and now at 15, spring semester of '08 I had some mild panic attacks and worry, nervousness, sadness and excessive shyness all day long. This medication is a life saver and I love it. They say 8 weeks for the full effect and sure it might re-balance your chemicals in 8 weeks, but give it a chance as it still takes a while after that for you to break out of your shell."


"It works, but not without commitment to quit abusing drugs."


"I switched to this from Cyclafem, which was a higher level of estrogen. This definitely helped control my mood swings and I even lost some weight when switching. What I didn't expect was I lost about 1/3 of my hair after switching. I gave it 9 months before stopping, and I recently just switched because I couldn't take the hair loss anymore"


Cobicistat / elvitegravir / emtricitabine / tenofovir alafenamide

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


"It works the best."


"Duloxetine at 40mg did nothing for my neuropathic pain but on increasing the dose to 60mg I did get some relief. Unfortunately as one of the previous reviewers suggested I had problems urinating so yes it probably does help with incontinence."


"Dear God! I am in the midst of taking this product, and while I have read EVERY online forum to get helpful hints and tips on how to make this palatable, I am here to tell you they lied! I am only on my third overall glass and just looking at it makes me want to be sick. I made it cold, added Crystal Light powder, and am trading each sip with a swig of Ginger Ale. Despite all of my valiant efforts this stuff is nasty. At this point I am invested. All I can say is, it better do its job! I should not be suffering through this at 30! Bring on the excavation."


"So far so good on this medicine, I have tried just about every birth control pill out there, the only (and most annoying) side effects I have had so far are: breaking out really bad, there are waves of breakouts (mostly on my chin) that I have never had before, I am hoping that will subside. Also I have been more easily emotional about things, like if something is sad, I am more likely to cry about it than I would before. Hope this helps people out there wanting to try this, beware of any acne that may arise!"


"I only took this medication for about 10 days, but I heard horror stories about birth control so was scared of taking it, but really it caused nothing major, just a bit of nausea that I could easily handle with some ginger tea. no sudden water weight gain, no acne, but I was a short while on this medication, the thing is it made me quite emotional in the last few days and , but probably it is that I am just in an emotional period of my life and the pill made my emotions a bit more raw, I just did not want to deal with that and stopped. But I think the benefits outweigh the these mild side effects, and it felt like they will subside if I continued taking the pill. try it."


"I got the nexplanon in January it's only been a little over a month now. They said it has to be put in while I was only period so I got it put in about day 3 of bleeding and stopped in two days. Then started up a couple days later for only two days and I haven't had one since. No cramps no weight gain and no pregnancy so far. I use to take the pill but got pregnant twice while taking it like your suppose to. My Dr told me after you're on the pill for so long your body does start to not work as well and I was on the highest dose so after having my daughter I got the implant. I love it no alarm everyday to take the pill no shots ever couple months no having to do anything after they put it in your arm it's good for three years. Best bc I've used"


"I was prescribed 60 mg MSContin twice a day switching from the 50mcg/hr fentanyl patch because of side effects problems and the fact it only works for the first two days. I was diagnosed with fairly severe osteoarthritis and degenerative disk disease, last year at the age of 26.  After wearing the patch for a few months my natural pain tolerance nearly vanished.  Now taking this MS-Contin feels like taking aspirin or a small ER/CR hydrocodone dose.  "


"I take Ultram for degenerative changes in the lower lumbar spine,(spinal stenosis, dry disc) and for neck pain from auto accidents and sterno and acromioclavicular joint pain from open heart surgery.

It is the only thing I have used that works and gives me 8 hours of sleep. I only take it when the pain gets intolerable and renders sleep impossible. Have no withdrawal and the only side effect is constipation.

I highly recommend Tramadol. It helped me more than anything else."


"This really does work and the issue now is  I think my body is use to it now because I'm starting to sweat in my armpits again."


"I wouldn't recommend this BC. It made me feel like I was in my first trimester of pregnancy again....nauseated, exhausted, aversion to food, etc.

On top of that, towards the end of the first month, I ended up with major depression from this pill. Not to mention the spotting. I really wanted to give my body the full 3 months to adjust to this pill, but I couldn't do it.

I hope people have better luck than me, but if you have the same experience, I'd say get off Lolo ASAP."


"Only going into week four,  however. ..  I have left my house more in the past ten days than I have in the past several months.  Starting to clean the house,  to the amazement of my family,  lol. Also amazing how much better the children and husband respond when I'm not biting their heads off every time they approach.  First week. . .. just plain felt weird,  kind of emotionless or with increased anxiety.  Second week almost the same,  almost decided to quit taking it.  After two weeks of obsessing and reading probably every review in existence online of fluoxetine I decided I was going to stick it out for a minimum of six weeks.  Boy. .. am I glad I did.  I haven't functioned this well for about fifteen years."


"I've gotten cold sores for years. I've had some disfiguring experiences with larger ones that scab over on or around my lips. They started in my 30's and over thirty years, have always been with me. Sometimes I go for 7-8 months without being affected but they never cease completely. There are times when I get one, it runs its course for about 10 days, then in a week or two, get another that can be more severe. Generally, it works well. Although it is still effective at controlling an outbreak and reducing healing time, it is far from a cure and outbreaks can still result in blisters even when taken A.S.A.P. after first signs. TIMING IS IMPORTANT. Take at first tingle is a good rule but if outbreak occurs during sleep, not much can be done."


"I certainly wish I could experience the loss that everyone is claiming here. I have been on Contrave 30 days and have lost 1 pound. I started going to the gym so I can't even give that one pound to Contrave.  It did make me feel foggy and a little nauseous at first but that soon subsided. Now I feel nothing. I was so hoping this would work for me.  :("


"I've suffered from severe chronic pain for many years. I've gone through all the opiates. My pain doctor put me on this worthless patch. Even at max dosage it doesn't even help mild muscle pain."


"My son went from Vyvanse 50mg in am and 20mg in afternoon over to Aptensio 50mg once a day. So far so good and he doesn't need to take a med in school which he likes.  It seems to last into early evening if we give it at 7am."


"I was diagnosed with a Yeast Infection for the first  time yesterday morning after 2 days of discomfort. My vulva was swollen, sore & itchy & my vagina was extremely sore & it burned slightly. After I saw cottage cheese-like discharge in my underwear on yesterday morning I decided it was time to take action & I went to my doctor. I was given one pill (150 Mmg dose of Diflucan) by my doctor. I took the pill at around 10:30am & later on last night I began to feel relief! This morning around 7am I woke up feeling almost 100% relieved!! Not even a full 24 hours & this medicine gave me relief! I can still feel slight itching a little bit throughout my day, but I'm sure in a couple of days I'll be back to normal & yeast infection free by Tuesday!"


"After my losing my first child, I soon started having these feelings like I was having a heart attack, chest pains, hand cramps, and could not breath.  After several trips to hospital, I was told it was a panic disorder.  That was thirty two years ago.  I was given Ativan to hold under my tongue, and I still use it until this day 3x 2mg daily as needed. I now have two grown sons, and two grandchildren but I do not think I could have made it without Ativan and great support group. I have no side effects just a calm, peaceful feeling."


"Have been taking Sertraline for 3 months and it has changed my life. Was prescribed it for anxiety which had led to depression. Was hesitant to take it (bad experience with Cipralex 7 yrs ago - no emotion/ loss of inhibitions) but my doc said this had less side effects and prescribed 50mg. 1st week was horrible, nausea, spaced out, twitching etc, Libido was 0 and had anorgasmia (like you're not depressed enough!) Noticed an improvement in energy after a week, things felt lighter and I was able to think more clearly and from then it's just been a steady improvement. 3 months in the depression is gone and my anxiety is at a normal level. I still feel emotion and best part is the big O came back after about 8 weeks!"


"I have been taking Prevacid for 10 years now. It had worked tremendously. I have tried to go without it but my acid reflux just gets to bad. I had two endoscopes done prior to taking Prevacid for scaring in my esophagus. Prevacid has healed my esophagus. I would definetely recommend it for anyone who suffers from GERD like myself."


"I have been getting urinary tract infections since I was a small child and the only antibiotic that has worked for me 100% of the time is Cipro. I have never had any side effects but I am not sensitive to any medicines that I am aware of.

I also use AZO Maximum Strength for the pain as an alternative to Pyridium although if I have a prescription, Pyridium is actually cheaper (with insurance) than purchasing AZO."


"Abilify is a very good anti-depressant so far as this type of medication goes. There are very few side effects, the only ones I've noticed are a minor weight gain and a slight elevation in blood sugar, and I think that a good deal of that comes from the patient gaining his or her appetite back."


"I am 31, have one child and have had the Mirena for 2 years. My experience with Mirena was GREAT until I realized recently that all of my issues started when it was inserted. I have experienced COMPLETE lack of sex drive, hair loss/thinning, depressed moods and anger. Although these things could all be related to the "stress" of having a child, I don't feel stressed about any of it; I love my child, he is the sunshine of my life. All of these issues came up about 2 years ago - and I finally realized it's probably the Mirena. I am going to have it taken out, because my hubby and I want another baby."


"It's week three. Let me start by saying this is my third try at a different depression/anxiety med. And it actually seems to be working. Also I've went from 290 at the dr. Office to 276 in 3 weeks I'm 6'2" so it's noticeable. I use to stress eat, now I don't have the urge to constantly eat. I feel, not full, just in hungry and fine with it? Overall I give it a 9/10 the 1 is because it's only been 3 weeks. Kicks in quick(two weeks for me), go all day with no need for xanax or ativan. I'm also alot  less angry. Hope this helps, explore all options. Everyone's different! Never lose faith and force a smile :)"


"Another poster said that Sertraline made her a better person.  That's really true for me. I wish I had started taking it years ago.  I don't get the full benefit with less than 100mg per day. Unfortunately, I have to stop taking Sertraline as I have a worsening spinal condition and I have to take NSAIDs (ibuprofen) for pain control.  When I take the two drugs together I bruise so easily that I worry about more serious bleeding.  For me, Sertraline has also reduced my libido.  I'm a male in my 60s but I'm not yet ready to give up on sex, nor is my wife."


"got my top and bottom wisdom teeth on my right side removed. I was prescribed T3's and they suck! I'm in so much pain! Haven't slept because I physically can't! Hurts so much :("


"I usually suffer from cystic acne on my cheeks, RARELY on my chin or forehead. I never really considered my acne to be hormonal because in the summer I have clear skin, but when I go back to college I break out. I've been on the same BC for about 4 years btw. I went to my dermatologist and she prescribed me 25 mg daily of spiro. I stuck with it for 7 weeks, but here I am at 7 weeks looking WORSE than ever before!! I have break outs in places I never had before. I would rather have dealt with my mild cystic acne on my cheeks than this stuff. I know it works for a lot of people, but clearly not for everyone. This past week I've been severely depressed due to just how terrible my skin looks. I'm discontinuing the use of spiro."


"Taking his medication has been one of the best decisions I've made in my life thus far. If you are suffering from depression & anxiety then just give it a go because well life is just too dam short!"


"Took the medication for about 2.5 years, in addition to various other antidepressants such as Lexapro, Effexor XR, and Cymbalta. It did help me feel better and more stabilized for about the first 6 months of taking it. However, after those initial 6 months I felt it did very little if anything at all and my mood began to deteriorate. Additionally, I also gained over 25 pounds. I have always been a slim to toned athletic individual, so this weight gain was very uncharacteristic of me. In fact, my condition got so bad that I was actually too depressed to even get out of bed most days and never exercised. My diet remained more or less healthy throughout my time on Abilify. Stopped~Thanksgiving 2014, lost 30 pounds since, all else constant."


"Seems to be working for me."


"I got my Kyleena IUD inserted about 4 months ago. I heard very mixed experiences on whether or not insertion hurt - and for me it was extremely painful. I had pretty bad cramping and had to avoid exercise for about 3-4 days after insertion, which wasn't too bad. For the past 2 months I have been experiencing the worst cramps EVER that come at very random times. I have never given birth before, but I often think that these cramps must be what contractions feel like. I've had ultrasounds and I have been told that the IUD has not shifted or anything, so the cause of the cramps is unknown. I'm hoping they go away because I don't know how long I can take it!!"


"Oxycontin works great, as long as you get the right dose."


"I don't have that severe of acne, but I do have regular pimples, including the cyst-like kind that hurt. I get them on my face, back, and chest. Differin worked wonders on my skin with very little irritation. I recommend it for sure!"


Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy

"After 5 months of infusions I feel better although CIDP symptoms persist. Side effects were mouth sores/swollen lips both with white blisters starting after three days resolving after two weeks. Significant coverage of chest and back rash, large red blotches. Start on the fifth day and resolve after forming black scabs after three weeks. Will continue with last treatment and then quit."


"It worked great for me.. but towards the end put on 10 pounds.. but it really kept my mind positive and stable."


"When I first got this implant it seemed fine. After a couple months, I began to bleed regularly (every day) and my mood swings were horrible. I was prescribed a medication that took care of the bleeding but my moods were still crazy. Almost a year and a half later and I'm getting it out. I have developed depression, and I have had several anxiety attacks. Before this birth control I was happy and enjoyed life, now I feel completely hopeless. If you have any history of depression or mood swings I WOULD NOT recommend this birth control. It will turn your life upside down"


"I had IUD inserted Dec. 2016. I found out I was pregnant in April 2017.  Didn't expect this to happen. I'll love my child. But I'm not ready to be a mother of four. I'm not satisfied with the results of the birth control. But I'm getting a new bundle of joy!    Think twice before you decide your b.c. NONE are 100%"


"Paxil saved my life!! After marriage breakup and 3 children, a newborn and loss of home I went from 60kg to 44kg in 3 months, I couldn't eat or function. Started paxil, 1 month later woke up and felt fantastic, like I could conquered the world, got a job, had baby in day care, sold my car which I used for a house deposit, went for loan, success!!   The kids are happy, studied achieved Bachelors degree, ALL WITH THE HELP OF PAXIL!!, please give this wonder drug time to work, took me 1 month and changed my life. Still on Paxil 10 years later and doing well in life, what a miracle drug, where would I have ended up without Paxil..."


"UPDATE: so I've been on bydureon for 6 weeks. I do now get the itchy lumps at injection site. The nausea I had in the beginning  is gone. Blood sugars are much better. No weight loss to report and what little appetite suppression i had In the beginning is also gone. I am 40lbs overweight and just absolutely struggle to lose 1 pound. I was really hoping this would work for me in losing weight. So far nothing."


"My 7 year old daughter was diagnosed with Ring Worm. Her pediatrician prescribed her this medicine.  It stopped the itch within minutes, and it started to fade in a short few days. My husband got Athletes Foot, so he used the cream and it was gone in 2 days. We make sure we always have a tube on hand. Highly recommended!"


"After taking heroin on a regular basis for a year, I couldn't sleep properly at night, insomnia and depression were the worst, until my doctor prescribed me quetiapine fumarate 200mg tabs, I sleep like a baby now 8-11 hours without any morning after effects, also helped me a lot to get out of depression"


"2nd night & I am pissed!! I knew I wasn't completely healed so I had to continue the 3-day cream, but as soon as I used the 2nd tube the burning and eternal itching got sooooo bad!! Last night the pain, itch, and burning lasted for about 2 hours! Tonight, I'm going on one hour hoping it'll settle down a lot faster. I hate that we go through this ladies smh. I've found that an ice pack provides some comfort for the burn and swelling. I haven't had a YI in years. A day swimming & forgetting to take my swim suit off right sway is what got me here...This is definitely what a angry V feels like!!"


"I've had frequent steroidal shots in my shoulder for bursitis, but my doctor recommended trying naproxen sodium instead this visit.  I am very pleased with the pain relief, as long as I remember to take it!"


"To be honest I started taking Zoloft due to  my sex drive; my husband said that my sex drive was too strong for him. I always wanted it and he did not which made me feel rejected.I noticed that my OCD was under control and I am not feeling jumpy or angry at little things. Far as my sex drive, that is gone (smh) Though it was something that I wanted he is regretting this. I guess now he realized that he should have given in instead of holding back."


"Itching all over body then rash on eyelids. Very short of breath. "


"I was on Valturna 300MG for six months and it did do a good job maintain my high blood pressure.  While on this medicine I suffered daily unstable angina with severe attacks 1 to 3 times per day; severe sinus problems; low red blood count with mild anemia; congestion turning to pneumonia; and extreme weakness and fatigue.  I accidentally ran out of the medicine for four days and all these symptoms stopped. Went off the medicine for three weeks and was a new man and felt great. My doctor didn't believe me so I went back on it and on the 3rd day had another severe angina attack. I stopped the medicine now for 3 months, no symptoms. While experiencing these symptoms I had all the heart tests including Angiogram, Stomach Endoscopy, and Gall Bladder Tests all tests were negative."


"I've been taking this for four years, and it barely takes the edge off for me.  I wish there was something else, but this is pretty much it after all the others stopped working, too.  "


"I must say Ocella has been nothing short of a miracle for me. In just 2 months my facial hair has deminished. I went from shaving,waxing, plucking EVERYDAY to not seeing any hairs on my face for 5 days now. My very heavy painful periods are already normal and I have lost 11 lbs. I have had no side effects. I hope this continues for the long term."


"I did 40 day injections and found the diet easy to stick to if you plan your meals, pre weigh and bag about 1 week ahead. I had headaches sometimes as a side effect but Tylenol worked. I started at 195 5' tall and weighed 163 after stopping the injections. I waited 6 weeks and now weigh 167 and am beginning a second 23 day round of injections. I am convinced that the weight will stay off. I will continue with each treatment until I get down to 125"


"I took this for depression.  I give all anti-depressants a 0 because they don't relieve depression naturally.  escitalopram had some bad side effects.  After taking it for a while I got lethargic and apathetic.  It increased my appetite.  I had a couple of times where I experience extreme rage which I think was because of it."


"I have no issues with this birth control. And from reading what's happened to other people in so sorry. Luckily for me I've found my dream birth control. I had my first one out in May of 2012 and just had a new one put in last month. No pregnancies not even a missed period. Big bruise at first but that is expected. It takes some getting used to in your body it is a foreign object, but the implant is different for us all I hope it works for others as much as it does me"


"I've taken oral contraceptives for a couple of years, almost 10 years ago. I decided to try again and was prescribed Orsythia. While it does its job - I'm not pregnant -  I'm constantly tired and sleepy, my sex drive is almost nonexistent now, my breasts often hurt, and the first day of my period is very painful. I can take Tylenol for the menstrual pain but other side effects are unacceptable."


"I started in January so it’s been been about 10 months on aviane.  I didn’t feel any side effects or change for at least 6 months but then I started to get mood swings. I’ll be happy sad and angry at the same time. Crazy. I started to have left pelvic pain a lot and lower back pain sometimes leg pain. Not sure if it’s from the pill but I really don’t do anything. When I started taking prenatal vitamin gummies just because I had them it made me feel a little sick. So I stopped taking the gummies and I’m ok but I had a pap prior to pills and everything was clear except I found out I had chlamydia and treated me. No cyst. Doc said pills could prevent cysts too . I will get my pap in a few months and see if they can resolve this issue."


"I had this to get my IVF cycle organised Horrible side effects. Severe depression and mood swings. I had to stop the medication and cancel the ivf cycle"


"Used for two months now, Lunesta has been more effective than Ambien curbing early morning awakening.  The taste in the mouth is tolerable. "


"I began treatment on Qsymia under my physician's care in March 2014 at 249 lbs. and followed simple steps towards changing my eating habits and amping up my exercise regimine. It was not an overnight result. I had ups and downs; definitely more positive than negative. Today I weigh 138 lbs. I am a 56 yr old grandmother and feel better and more youthful than I did 15 or more years ago! My eating is a lifestyle, not a diet. My exercise is my therapy that makes me happy. The two combined gives me a healthy body and Qsymia jump-started it all. Going into it with the right frame of mind and determination will make all the difference. Qsymia is the tool that worked for me and I love what it did for me!"


Choline salicylate / magnesium salicylate

"Without this I would never get a good night's sleep due to the aching in my legs."


"I an 53 and have OA under my kneecaps due to patellafemoral syndrome and poor kneecap tracking.  No swelling but lots of pain.  Can't take oral NSAIDs due to stomach issues.  Unfortunately, despite applying this three times a day for weeks there was no improvement in pain."


"I used this medicine for over 20 years for chronic sinusitis.  The recent 3x I have taken it I broke out in hives all over my body that lasted for 2 hours.  Has anyone else had a similar reaction?  Not sure how after all these years I have an allergic reaction to something.  Dr. gave me Sulfamethoxazole-TMP in lieu of Levoquin and I am scared out of my mind to take something new.  I have a 11 year history of random allergies to food and medications."


"I think Opana ER is a GREAT pain medication. On a 1-10 pain scale, I went from a 6 with the MS-Contin to a 3 with the Opana.  I get more done around the house (I can prep, cook, and clean, as I could only do 1 of those things continuously with the MS-Contin) so it does its job in that respect, but it has never lasted 12 hours. It seems to wear off in 8 hours on the dot.  And when it wears off, you don't just hurt, you feel like total crap.  Usually you don't feel like that as soon as a pain medication wears off but with this, you do.  If I get my dosage raised to 3 instead of 2 a day so I don't have to go through the yucky stage, I can't help but wonder how I'm going to feel when I come off as I have only been on it for a month."


"I'm on this medicine to help with a current ovarian cyst but the side affects are pushing me to surgery if living like this is my option.  It makes me feel depressed and ready to cry at the drop of a hat, angry, mean, antisocial and it has absolutely killed my sex drive.  I'm on my fourth and last dose because I'm not feeling like this anymore!"


"I'm 25 and have been suffering from acne for more than 10 yrs. I tried many topical creams with hardly any results (Differin, tretinoin, etc). I had moderate acne, I would get large red painful pimples that stayed on my face for weeks and also very oily skin. Tried birth control Loestrin with no improvements. Then stronger topical creams- no avail. My dermatologist suggested Beyaz. As always I was willing to try anything. Within three weeks my face started clearing. Such a huge change! I've been on the pill now for 4 months and I want to sing! I do not get large red pus filled pimples anymore and my skin is no longer oily even with makeup on. I still have one or two zits usually, but that is so much better compared to how I looked before."


"I started using oxys after car crash, after my Dr. cut me off, switched to heroin. My wife was ready to leave and I could not believe 5yrs prior I was happy in perfect health....now shooting dope  just to stay well. Went on methadone for 14 months, was 120mg p/day tapered down to 20mgs and went through a week of hell. Then I was put on 8mg strip of suboxone. Immediately helped, I felt great. After 4 months of suboxone therapy I ask  my Dr. to taper me off drugs completely. While the subs works, it's just another opiate if we are truthful. Long story short, a month after quitting suboxone I ended up in psych. ward with suicidal thoughts and major depression. So back on subs again.. Truth is, I lost me somewhere between my first oxy & sub."


"I took this med for ADHD with hopes of helping w/anxiety & depression. I had headaches right away and began lying in bed all day long. I wanted this to work so I stuck with it despite constipation, dry mouth/eyes and headaches. My mood was worsened and I had a flat affect. I didn't laugh for two weeks. It wasn't until I stopped taking it that I realized how depressed it had made me. Once out of my system, my libido also returned. Drugs change the brain chemistry and for some it works, for others it doesn't. Straterra is not for me."


"I was recommended Dulcolax after I hadn't been able to have a BM after surgery on my back passage. I took 2 tablets at 2.30 pm as I was desperate and at 9.00 pm I had an easy to pass (being first BM after surgery) BM followed by 3 more trips before midnight to the bathroom ending in diarrhoea. I didn't experience any of the cramps, shakes or vomiting as reported by so many others. I'm still experiencing diarrhoea now 2 days later and although it's painful still, this is only due to the surgery I under went 6 days ago. Please remember every single person who takes Dulcolax will have a different experience to the next as our bodies will all respond differently to this medication . I would definitely take Dulcolax again. Hope this helps."


Acetaminophen / dichloralphenazone / isometheptene mucate

"While I prefer Migraten (which has caffeine instead of the sedative in Midrin), I LOVE these medicines for headaches.  They truly help my painful symptoms.  I don't feel "high" or groggy at all, like with narcotics.  If you suffer from migraines or tension headaches, try these for sure!  (Plus- this was the only relief I got for headaches during pregnancy)."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Tasted better than what I took for the last one.   Best tip I can give is to put a pitcher of water and ice in the fridge.  When it comes time to mix the prep, mix it with the icy water from the fridge - put it in a 16 oz. glass and drink it right down through a straw.   Then fill the same glass up immediately with water and take a quick drink to chase any taste away.   After the first swallow, it's not so bad - but just keep swallowing.  Had no desire to throw up, no chills, and after about 3 hours of off and on projectile watery diarrhea, got about 5 hours sleep until the next dose.  But after that - was up for the rest of the night.  Totally cleaned me out.  Was told I would get the same prep next time (in 5 years)."


"I had a wonderful experience with this product. My period went away no cramps it is great. ...but I hear the string gets lost a lot and that's what happened to me.  An ultrasound was done and everything is in the right place but now it has been 5 years and it needs to come out.  What now?"


"I have been on mirtazapine for about 6 years. Tried Effexor before and found it so stimulating I couldn't sleep, felt like I was high, switched to mirtazapine instead had proper nights sleep. Mirtazapine is great for sleep, not to bad on anxiety.  "


"I started using this product about a month ago and I started seeing results immediately! I suffered from coarse chin hair and would often get ingrown hairs that led to scarring from constant tweezing and irritation. I barley have to tweeze anymore and when I do the hairs are thin and come out very easy. I do not know if this product has skin lightening agents in it but I have also noticed that my scarring has faded as well! After suffering for years and not being able to leave the house without make-up I am happy to say that because of this product I am starting g to feel confident in my own skin again! I absolutely would recommend this product to anyone who could use it. I am consistent with applying twice a day and am very happy with it!"


"I had a UTI and was prescribed Cipro (250 mg 2x for 10 days). The pain and frequency went down on day two and after day three, I felt normal. The only side-effect I had was itching."


"I took 1  5 mg a few nights ago. My body had unbearable muscle thrashing.  I woke up every 2 minutes spasming out of control it was very painful as well and couldn't get sleep."


"I had extreme sciatica pain radiating down my left leg to my foot. Only opioids would take away the pain. I didn't want to be addicted to opioids so my back and bone doctor suggested that I try Meloxicam 15mg once a day. After four days of taking the meds all of my pain was gone and not just my leg but generally all over my body. I have just been through chemo and hormone therapy for cancer. The only side effect is mild upset stomach. I strongly advise eating something before taking the medicine."


"I was taking Buspar along with Proactive and Xanax for 5 years...I felt great, so I stopped the Buspar.  Within the last 2 months I have had to completely detox off Xanax, and it was a nightmare, I hope to never feel that way again...long story short, I'm back on my Buspar along side my Prozac and I can't remember feeling this good...The fog has lifted! !! My anxiety is all but nothing....I have never had side effects from Buspar either, and I take 15mgs twice a day. For those of you that have an anxiety disorder, this medication is definitely worth trying because you can cope so much better without all the hazy side effects from benzos. BEST OF LUCK!"


"I had my paragard inserted about 7 months ago, and insertion wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't still be sore from ripping during childbirth.  With paragard my period started lasting up to 9-10 days with heavy bleeding.  I also started to have pain during sex.  About 2 weeks ago I developed eczema on my hand.  Today I had the paragard removed and felt instantly better.  According to the ob/gyn I may have a copper allergy because my cervix was red and inflamed.  She said the eczema could have also been a result of it too.  So in summary, paragard does work in preventing pregnancy, but make sure you don't have a copper allergy before hand, and remember that every woman is going to react to it differently."


"It works ok for my mild back pain.  It is not very effective for my severe back pain and broken rib."


"I've been on June fe for 8 months now, at first I thought it was great! No more cramps, no acne (unless I was about to start), hadn't gotten pregnant. So perfect right? Well. For the past 3-4 months I have been in nothing but HORRIBLE moods. Like lock myself in my room so I don't have to talk to anyone and when I do it turns into an argument. I'll lay in bed and think really horrible thoughts also. I'll get random burst of anxiety and sweat my butt off. I've gained over 13lbs since the pill, and even if I went to the gym it seemed like a never ending cycle of gain and lose. So overall I'm not pleased with my experience with this pill. I highly advise to not take if you have ANY history of depression or anxiety of ANY sort."


"Ive been a chronic underarm sweater for years.  While this product did indeed stop my sweating, I've developed a burning and nasty rash under both arms.  I've only used it twice and somehow doubt I'll be able to apply it again. Going to check with dermatologist to find out why it is affecting me this way."


"I was on the depo shot for five years and had no issues. I didn't have a period, zero spotting never gained any weight from it and I liked not having to worry about taking a pill. My doctor and I decided to try something new so I tried the nuvaring I ended up getting pregnant about a month and a half later. I had my son six years ago. My boyfriend decided to get fixed after I found out I was pregnant. We just split up so I went in today and get my first shot. I feel a little more tired than usually and I'm a little crampy but that's to be expected. I would recommend the shot. I don't want to have any more kids and this is a good one for me. I will not be trying anything else."


"I am 24 and have had clear skin all my life. I had to change contraceptives and got Implanon. A side effect was one to two very large and painful pimples appearing on a weekly basis. My doctor prescribed me Duac for the breakouts and I noticed results straight away. In the five weeks I've been using Duac, I haven't had any pimples. My skin was very dry in the first week but went back to normal in the second week. It has been great for my skin and my confidence."


"When I was a teenager I had *mild* cystic acne---mild meaning I would only get one or two cysts a month, but the ones I did get were huge, red, painful, ugly, and often left a scar.  Years later, approaching the age of 30 and having exhausted every treatment under the sun, it was not getting any better.  My dermatologist suggested Spironolactone (100mg/day)... My skin got worse for the first few weeks, almost like my body was expelling everything... but I stuck with it and it's been a MIRACLE!!  My skin is smooth and acne-free.  The only side effect is I'm groggy for a few hours so I take it at night.   Don't give up on it if things get worse initially, it is a hormonal treatment and might take a while for your body to adjust.  I LOVE it!!"


"I had the Mirena inserted 3 weeks ago to treat horrible periods which caused anemia. Insertion was no big deal (I've had 5 c-sections). I spotted a few days after insertion then pretty heavy bleeding for about a week. I've had zero bleeding now for about 5 days and had the best orgasm in my life yesterday. Oh, and I am 52 and still able to get pregnant (no menopause yet). So glad I didn't let the scary stories stop me from getting it. I feel like I got my life back. I hope it stays like this."


"My acne has gotten 10 times worse and my hair has been falling out all over the place. I used to take Seasonique, which was okay, but made me irritable which is why I switched. This was worse than my mood swings on Seasonique, and in one month I almost broke up with my boyfriend for literally no reason, twice. My period was much heavier than my periods before I started taking birth control 3 years ago. "


"It has worked great for preventing pregnancy, but has it's downfalls. It has increased my migraines greatly and also has lowered my sex drive. I have also noticed since taking it I have been less happy and occasionally a lot more moody."


"I have been on this four plus years and have not had any issues. It's easy, periods have been light and no weight gain or issues with mood. I highly recommend it."


"I am having my colonoscopy tomorrow. This will be my 3rd one and I can honestly say this prep was far more tolerant than the ones I've prepped with in the past! I'm GRATEFUL for the comments I was able to read because the lemons truly helped me. I drank the first 16 ounces in 15 minutes. It wasn't as bad as I was dreading. I used a straw and after each drink I sucked the juice out of the lemon. I drank about 21 ounces of water afterwards. The lemon took the taste away a great deal. I started going to the bathroom about an hour and a half later. I drank the second 16 ounces 4 hours later. My bowel started off green, now it's just clear. The taste was of grape salty sweet koolaid."


"I'm a 30 year old male. I suffer from idiopathic, primary insomnia. Before Dalmane, I was a wreck. I could maybe seek out 2 or 3 hours of restless sleep per night. Awful.

My doctor had had me on everything from Klonopin to Valium, and ALL the tricyclic antidepressants. We even tried some older drugs like Miltown, and Seconal. I've tried 30  prescription sleep aids over the years.  Lunesta worked quite well, but only at 12mg, four times the recommended dose! Needless to say, that would break the bank.

Then we tried Dalmane. I have been taking 30mg to 60mg, an hour before bedtime for the last 5 years (combined recently) with 22.5mg of Remeron. I sleep 8-9 hours every night, without fail!  Any hangover is minor and actually gives me a welcome sense of calm. It's CHEAP, too!"


"The most amazing contraception ever! Cost me $150 to cover for 10 years. Thats in Australia anyway! Heavier flow but I loved it! No babies or side effects! Hurt like hell though putting it in.. As I had never had children I got a twilight sedation! haha...
And hurt getting it removed.
But absolutely nothing bad to say about it!!
If your thinking about getting one - get it!"


"I am a 27 year old female. I started noticing that I was going to the bathroom on average 12 times a day. I was losing sleep because I would get up 2 or 3 times a night, at work I was constantly running to the bathroom what seemed like every hour. I went to my obgyn who gave me a test and started me on 10mg of Vesicare. Within the first day I saw instant results. I have been taking it for over a month and about 2weeks ago I started to have severe abdominal pains, constipation and lower back pains, as well as light colored poop. I lowered my dosage to 5mg and everything seemed to get better until today. Same severe side effects again. I had to stop taking it."


"Very good."


"I have been on for almost six years I've had it replaced once. This up coming October I'll probably have it replaced again.  For me the first one my periods were random.  No period for 3 months then spotting for one month.  After having it replaced the second time it's been less period all around light spotting.  Again considering it again in October just wanted to see the effects others have had.  No weight gain or acne for me. I have a slight temper already so wouldn't have noticed mood swings"


"I've been on it for a week & man does it work..Within 15-25 minutes I'm going to the restroom 3 or more times. I take it when I know I have nothing to do for at least & hour or 2 because you don't wanna be running errands when it starts to work as you will never make it home or to a restroom in time. I am on pain medication for 4 failed fusion back surgeries & I was drinking miralax 3 times a day as doctor recommended but I couldn't leave the house because I was always running to the bathroom, when taking this pill I can plan days where I take at hours before my errands & it runs its course before I have to go or I'll take it at night when I know I'm staying home the rest of the night..I have had stomach aches & growling stomach..It does give you some withdrawal.."


"This is so awesome reading everyone's reviews. These are real reviews to me. You read other diet adds, they are not real. I started in late August, 28 2013. I have lost a total of 15lbs so far! Looking to lose more. I was near the 200 lb mark. It's been like that since I had my last child in 2005. All this time I had been working out, I saw no changes. I needed a change because I have insulin resistance. That is scary to me. Diabetes runs in my family both parents. I love this pill!. It's amazing how much energy I feel. I did feel jittery when taking at first and not feel hungry but I ate anyways. I watch what I eat. Insomnia and dry mouth. Drink lots of water. I just want to feel better about myself. "


"Does not work well for me."


"I have been taking Norvasc 5mg for 6 months. It makes me tired, have had weight gain, and now have palpitations when I take it. It hasn't lowered my blood pressure by much. I exercise daily and take vitamins."


"I had Mirena inserted on September 2. I had very heavy cycles that lasted 8 days. After getting Mirena my periods are much lighter, no more ultra tampons and overnight pads at the same time! My cycle is 5 days but only the first day is enough for a super tampon. I spot the rest and most of the days nothing! Insertion was horrible, my uterus is really high and is kind of hidden behind my what's called the G-spot. I would go through it again to have the cycle I have now. Side effects are Breast tenderness constantly and acne. Still love it!"


"Had the infusion - 15 minutes - 4 days ago. On the day felt fine. The next day thought I was dying, chills, fever, nausea, whole body/bones/joints extremely painful.. Woke up every hour and had to drink water.

Day 3 felt a lot better and managed to go to work. Day 4 I feel fine. Not sure how effective it will be, will  have to have a bone scan in a years time!"


"I warn you to be VERY careful with regards to this medication. I started taking it in July 2012, and was at one point up to 120 mg a day. ( I absolutely no longer see the "Dr" who had me on such a high dose) It caused me to suffer neurological damage that took over a year to correct itself. I had involuntary muscle movements, rocking motions, tremors, as well as having to learn how to walk again normally, as it caused marked damage to the left side of my body. I was treated with physical therapy twice for the condition this medication left my body in. It is just not worth it!!! Do your research, as I am sure you are, since you are in this forum. This medication is even more dangerous than desribed!!"


"I have suffered Bulimia for about 10 years and at different stages was binging/purging up to 5 times a day. Over the years I have tried so many medications, but Prozac is the first to really assist. I started on 20mg, which has recently increased to 40mg. This is the only medicine/therapy that has dramatically decreased my impulse to binge/purge. I am feeling so happy within myself and it has really assisted with my depression and low energy levels too. One odd side effect I have noted is that I am yawning a lot, a small price to pay to being in control of my eating and mood. This is definitely worth a try if you are having bulimic symptoms and recommend it highly. Good luck."


"My previous birth control worked wonderfully, beautiful skin and I did not get pregnant. However, my PMS became  difficult to deal with, headaches, nausea, and fatigue. My doctor suggested I try LoSeasonique to avoid the PMS. I must say I was very scared because of all the negative reviews I found on the internet. I am happy to say it has been eights weeks and I am symptom free, no spotting, and best of all no PMS. One important thing I do is to stick to my 10 pm schedule everyday. I noticed they stressed this in the pamphlet, which made me concerned things might go wrong if I did not follow. Overall I am very pleased especially since I have not taken any pain killers the entire time. Hope this helps."


"NoDoz is the only medicine I can take that helps with my periodic fatigue and sleepiness during the day.  One pill around 10 a.m. gets me going to complete my most stressful job.  I don't take daily but when I did, I could instantly see the difference."


"I was not sexy. Now I look sexy. This stuff works.

(Still on it because it's only been 4 months.)"


"15 year old that had severe plaque psoriasis, I tried everything from tropical ointments to solar treatment nothing worked. As soon as I started with enbrel I started to see results in about two weeks in less than 2 months I was 100% clear. Thank you enbrel (: !"


"Everyone's experience is different. I was prescribed paxil 20mg for depression /social anxiety. I have been taking it for over a month.  I was incredibly afraid to take it but now that I have been taking it I'm really happy I did. This is the best I have been mentally my entire life. I read a lot of negative things on the internet, but that was not my experience. I have more clarity now. I LOST WEIGHT! I'm happy waking up. I sleep amazing. I feel like I don't even have depression anymore. It has helped some with anxiety. I did have negative side effects for the first week, but that passed quickly. If you're like me you looked up things on the internet and got scared. Please listen to your doctor and not the whiney people on the internet."


"I started on 5mg and my doctor just moved me up to 30 today  (an increase over about 8 months).  Every time I start a new dosage, I feel amazing for a few weeks, like a new person, and then it slowly fades off.  Both my doctor and psychiatrist say this medicine will work well for me, we just need to find the exact right dosage for me.  My mom is on 20mg twice a day, has been for 10+ years, and it completely changed her life too.

With other meds I tried, had severe nausea, diarrhea, headaches, etc.  With every dose increase of escitalopram I had some 'chronic yawning' for a week or so which was annoying, and I still have pretty bad restless leg syndrome most nights.  Weird and annoying symptoms,but I'm happy to deal with them for the results"


"On week 2 of saxenda. I am down 5 pounds. No real side effects, other than starting to get a mild headache, which I struggled with before the drug. I am not a person who eats out of hunger, but rather out of boredom, so I was a little skeptical. I can honestly say, wow.. I am not ever really thinking about food. When I do have a snack, it is about a 10th of what I use to eat. So we will see how this goes. Good luck on our journey"


"I had Asthma diagnosis for 3 years. I was taking drugs like Flonase, Advair and Antihistamines almost continuously. After I found guaifenesin 3 years ago it got rid off all asthma symptoms. I am not taking any asthma medications any more, only guaifenesin."


"Taking 40mg 3x week for RIS, scans show MS but don't yet have a clinical diagnosis. Some welts and one large bruise but otherwise shots (all self inject) have been OK."


"Broke every bone in left foot crushed ! knee injuries left knee replaced last yr shoulder this yr it sucks getting old but nuycynta is a god sent miracle i wish ins would cover the regular not the time release i slept much better on regular for 2 yrs oh well rules"


"I'm a 39 year old female and started taking this medicine a little over a year ago. It took a good month before I started feeling like myself again. I've been on and off antidepressants since the age of 18 and this is one of the better ones. I hope to stay on this for a long time, even though I am trying to get pregnant and was told by Psychiatrist and OBGYN that I need to stop taking it during the 2nd trimester because it's a category C drug. Like any other antidepressant, if you miss a dose, you WILL feel withdrawal symptoms. For me that means gastrointestinal problems and tiredness. Also, it is VERY expensive; my insurance doesn't cover. "


"Ambien CR assists me in falling asleep but only briefly, often waking after just 3-4 hours. When it does work, I don't recall things like getting up to turn on lights and the TV full blast! I have also experienced dizziness, loss of motor skills and next day grogginess/sleepiness. Today I woke to find my small craft table smashed on the floor all the craft items scattered on the floor. A crash like that would most certainly have awoken me right? Well no it didn't and I don't recall knocking it over! So it had to be me while sleepwalking again! I have turned to taking it only when I am truly desperate for a decent night's sleep!  "


"I have chronic sciatica from wearing a gun belt for 15 years. This is the only medicine that helps me to live pain free. I have to work to support myself and try and save my house. If I am in pain I have to call in sick and then its downhill.  "


"This is the worse birth control ever. I was on it for 2 years and 4 months.. everything was fine for the first year then after that I slowly started to get acne 1-2 spots every day for that year. Then the last 4 months of being on it I started to get so many white heads around my cheeks and jawline & it started to make the acne  soo bad like 10 pimples every where every day. Not even make up would cover it  nothing helped. It made my face so bad. It also made me loose a lot of hair, thinned my hair out and made me eat heaps, I gained a lot of weight. As soon as I got off it I haven't gotten any pimples since, no hair loss and I don't eat like I did on it. I wouldn't recommended it for anyone, I'm now stuck with scars waiting to fade."


"Less than 7 days after beginning Crestor I had debilitating muscle pain and weakness in my legs. 5 weeks following and treatment by a neurologist who prescribed Lyrica, I am beginning to regain strength in my legs but I continue to have pain, especially on the right side."


"I've had Implanon since March of 2010. I have terrible headaches EVERYDAY, severe mood swings, no patience, no sex drive. I love the fact that I am having no periods but it is ruining everything. I want to have it removed but I am afraid I will get pregnant BUT I know its the best thing to do because I am driving everyone away from me."


"My Healthcare Provider switched my 20mg daily dose of Lexapro to Zoloft. I was to completely stop Lexapro and begin Zoloft with a dose of 200 mg daily.

That was 6 months ago.

I am not having a good experience with Zoloft. My dosage was adjusted down over a period of 3 weeks to 50 mg.

My mind was constantly whirling with anxiety, my mood was total chaos, swinging from depressed to mad.

My alcohol consumption was increased both by quantity and frequency.

My appetite increased in the frequency of hunger and the amount of food I consume, but I never seem to hit the full feeling.

I am seesawing between 100 to 200 mg daily at this time, trying to totally stop Zoloft.

Main reasons; weight gain (30lbs in 4 months ) &  increased alcohol craving"


"I have been on Saxenda for several months now. It is the only thing I have been on where I see consistent weight loss. I am down 25lbs. Yes, there are side effects. However, I realized that most of the burping, throwing up, and gas is due to eating fried foods or greasy foods. I learned that with this medicine you have to eat healthy. You can't expect to lose weight and continue to eat the same way, well you can if you plan on being sick daily. Once I stopped eating that stuff, I have gone without the gas, the throwing up and burping side effects. In addition, the side effects are not gone because my body is used to the medication. After weeks without being sick, I went out of town and the side effects returned, because my bad eating habits returned as well."


"My experience with Remeron is short.
It worked wonders for me, but I stopped it as it causes awful weight gain.
21 pounds in 4 weeks.
I looked pregnant.  It made me more depressed.
I would just eat. It does something to your brain that makes you feel as though you are never full.
At night I would sneak food.
I could not stop.
I was at 30mg.
I've heard 15 mg is worse for weight gain.
Also, this drug is also given to elderly patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and also given to people with eating disorders. (Bulimia and anorexia )

As I said. In one respect,  it did Wonders for me with anxiety and depression and stopped the voices in my head and helped me sleep.
But I couldn't go through gaining any more weight."


"Had panic attacks since I was 8. Been on Xanax since then. If I don't take it I'll get an attack."


"If you suffer with occasional constipation like me and you suffer from irritable bowel syndrome then this is a great medication. It is very safe with very little side effects that most women will already go through. Like headaches and random nausea and dizziness. I take this medication 2-3 pills twice a day and I feel so much better being on this medication. It isn't normal to go a day or two or three or even a week like what used to happen to me without having a bowel movement. This medication will help you release all that waste you need to. It works great for me. IBS is not a fun condition but I guess it's just for all of us lucky people to struggle with and experiment trial and error. Give Amitiza a try it really works. Good luck!"


"I'm 13 and in the middle of my 3rd month! My skin is the best its been in 2 years. I have some scars but the Accutane is getting rid of them but I still wear cover up just because I'm so used to it. I started my treatment a day before thanksgiving and I'll be ending it in April! Although it's a hassle to get blood drawn and do the pregnancy test it's worth it! I recommend this for anyone who has annoying acne and has tried everything out there (literally). This is the best medication ever. I love my skin now."


"Had meniscus tear surgery five years ago on right knees. I was walking two to three miles five days a week. Beginning January 2017 started having knee pain and cannot walk half a mile. My ortho surgeon suggested some knee exercise and physical therapy. Went thru six weeks of physical therapy but did not help. Got  corticosteroid shot back in June 2017. Ninety percent pain free for about two months and then back to same knee pain I had before the corticosteroid shot .My ortho doctor suggested to try Synvisc gel injection treatment. Just got Synvisc gel injection 24 hours ago. This injection was little more painful compare to corticosteroid shot but able to walk to parking lot and my wife drove me back to home. I am already feeling lot better"


"I had been on Modifinil for over a year when I noticed the effects reducing dramatically so my doctor switched me to Armodifinil and almost immediately after taking I felt very hostile and aggressive. I did not feel more refreshed or awake. I tried it for almost a week and the feeling of anger was still there so I quit taking it and am working with my doctors to find another solution."


"I've Been on this medicine for about 4 months. Completely changed my life"


"I took macrobid for two and half days felt sick. Plus I'm scared of anything that poses a risk of side effects that are mile and half long. Macrobid made me so sick that  I ended up at the ER with swollen lymph nodes ,stiff neck, nausea migraine that caused eye pain, vomiting, chill I felt poisoned . My sister wanted  to stay with us because she was so worried about me. I was sick for three days in bed . Never , ever again I'm only seeing nautropathic doctors and chinese medicine doc unless it is life or death"


"This medicine was started in a hospital setting, but lowered my heart rate so low that the nurses would rush in to my room every 3 minutes because my heart monitor would alert them. My Cardiologist gave me 2 doses, and wanted to administer the 3rd, but I declined. "


"I got my implant about 4 months ago, since then I've had really long and heavy periods, spotting for maybe 2 weeks then I might stop all together for about a week, start spotting then have the heavy, prolonged period. I haven't had any other side effects such as the nausea and head aches like it said I would. I am getting more acne than I've ever had though. I'm just worried about these never ending periods."


"I was just given Nucynta 50 mg twice a day for Peripheral Neuropathy following a botched surgical procedure by my PCP.  The pain was constant and burning.  It disrupted my life and is wrecking my relationship with my husband.  He doesn't understand the pain of Neuropathy, Neuritis and Neuralgia.  I have been in pain for more than a year and I have tried many different pain medications such as Vicodin, Ultram, Percocet.  Nothing worked!  I have only taken 2 pills and I noticed that the pain is much improved.  It went from a 7 to a 4.  That is HUGE!  I did get nauseated and my breathing was shallow.  I also stumble a bit and I am not able to verbalize complete sentences.  That is disturbing, but it's worth it if I can experience less pain."


"Suffered traumatic relationship, erectile quality diminished significantly. Had weak erections during the night and morning like my body was trying but could not muster the strength. Cialis gives you your life back. Rock hard erections during the night and during sex. I highly recommend."


"This is my 6th month on Tri Sprintec. Overall it's been a positive experience. The first 2 months my breasts hurt - they grew another cup size - but after that there's been no extra tenderness at all. I didn't gain any weight, didn't have any abnormal cravings. Didn't go crazy, no change in libido (still high). My periods were heavier the first 2 months but then evened out; now they're light and only last 3 to 4 days. I had moderately bad acne around my jaw line and cheeks and it disappeared completely in about a month and a half. It's been effective against pregnancy. Not sure if my regime made a difference: I started taking the pills the 2nd day of my cycle and I take the pill at noon. Downsides: stiffness in limbs."


"I had a tear in my retina and needed to use a good eye drop after my laser surgery. I started using these drops and experienced horrible cramping and diarrhea. My doctor said she had never heard of that side effect but when I googled the active ingredient, it’s used as a laxative! I’m stopping today and finding other drops."


"No noticeable side effects. Except maybe for bowel movement."


"I've been on Nuvaring for about 2 months after trying 3 different birth control pills over the past 3 years. I definitely recommend it for those who have mood swings or tiredness while on the pill and need a low-dose hormonal birth control option. For me I haven't had problems with either since I started Nuvaring. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the ring gets uncomfortable during sex and dry, but I've just gotten into a habit of taking it out."


"My experience with Pristiq 50 mg works wonderfully. I've been on it for more than 2 years and don't prefer any other. It's low on side effects and it makes me feel like my true natural self, no zombie feeling at all. For the women in their 40's...Pristiq is a miracle medicine to lessen hot flashes and allows you to sleep well. No worry with sex problems, you will not have any problem."


"10-12.5 mg for insomnia works well.  I will take it earlier to avoid grogginess.  It also helps with the low mood you develop when you don't sleep well."


"Halfway through month 3 on this and not sure what to do. First two months consisted of most of my time break through bleeding, then during the time which I was supposed to have my period I had none. I also have been experiencing extreme agitation followed by periods of sensitivity and crying--neither of which is normal for me. Also, my boobs have swollened up a cup size and are always sensitive. Skipped my placebo pills second months and started third pack because I had already spent so much time bleeding. Symptoms have lessened but now it seems I am experiencing loss of appetite and sex drive. Not sure if I will continue on to try month 4. This pill has my moods swinging so much that I'm questioning my sanity since I've started them in Aug"


"I have been on Pristiq for one month. Previously I was on Wellbutrin XL 150 (buspirion) but I was getting very irritated and angry. As a kindergarten teacher, this was not good.  Pristiq has me happy and smiling again with little irritation or anger. The one thing that Pristiq is doing is making me binge eat. With Wellbutrin, I lost 20lbs after 4-5 months. One month on Pristiq and my weight is going back up.  My motivation levels are down, I don't want to get up and go to work.

I want to ask my doctor to let me try Wellbutrin and Pristiq together. I am hoping that the two together will work to get me motivated, happy and losing weight.

"


"Amazing for me!

I react poorly to pain medications in general, typically resulting in intense nausea. This medication however, on multiple occasions, turned migraines so severe all I can do is scream and flail, into pure nothing within 15 minutes.

This seems almost a miracle for me."


"The flector patch is the only medication that I have been prescribed that has significantly helped my lower back & hip pain.  I have been prescribed oral pain pills & they didn't touch
 Of course, the insurance won't pay for them.  Let me just say that without the patch my life is painful enough that I am pretty much in a recliner all day.  I am going without other things to have the patch.  My pain level would be 8 to 10. With the pain patch it is 3 to 5."


"Honestly, great drug!  I had this for wisdom teeth removal and it was smooth and nice.  Don't listen to the other reviewers as I (someone with anxiety disorder) did they're all wrong and fake.  Midazolam is a great drug, it won't make you go insane.  Anyone from "versed busters" or "patient modesty" are just anti-medicine hippies.   Midazolam won't cause any of the side effects the people writing negative reviews claim, they're lying through their teeth.  Only bad effect I noticed was I had a dream my wisdom teeth were being removed in the shopping mall, which was probably the Ketamine they also gave me.   Great drug, don't listen to the negative reviews, they're fake and wrong."


"Works for me. I did suffer from loss of appetite, weight loss, vivid dreams, headaches and tiredness within the first month of it but after that all leveled off and my anxiety was lowered. I was on the 10mg."


"I've been on the Nexplanon for just over a year in November 2015. I decided to try it because I was on the Depo for too long. I went 10 months with no spotting or bleeding. I'm guess'n my body was slowly taking itself off the depo. About 3 months I spotted for about 5 days. Then the 4th month I spotted for about 5 days, stopped for a day or so & started back for about another 5 days. It finally stopped maybe the 3rd going into the 4th week in December. I was like thank goodness. Now it has started back up on the 15th of January 2016. It started light and seem to get heavy at times. It has been 2wks as I type this and it's nerve wreckn especially when you at a job that you can't just up and go to the rest room to check yourself. Getn it removed ASAP"


"It's only effective in the sense that I'm not pregnant.  I got it in around March 2014. I've set my appointment to get it out.  I've gained 30 pounds and my diet had remained the same since before it was put in. I've also had really bad acne."


"I have to say this is a great medicine for people to try especially if those having difficulty sleeping.  I had mania and my highs and lows have become stable.  I have been taking this for about a month and noticed a difference the next day.  It does have an awful taste but it is worth the benefits.  My cocktail currently for Bipolar 1 is Effexor XR, Depakote, Lamictal, and Saphris.  I plan to ween off some of these medicines since Saphris has been working well.  I have tried Abilify and Seroquel and had bad reactions."

"Worked great. After several years I am having sound sleep. Thanks for those who developed it."


"Works fine in controlling my BP with no noticeable side effects"


"I was diagnosed with SVT following complications from a vaginal hysterectomy at age 58 (pulmonary embolism, pelvic hematoma and pneumonia).  ER diagnosed it as A-fib; cardiologist later said SVT following 48 hr. Holter monitor and echocardiogram.  Started me on 25 mg once a day which I take at night.  Have been taking about a month and it is working well.  Heart racing if I have it is not noticeable; pounding heart occasionally but tolerable and minor compared to what it was previously.  Recommended going up to 50 mg but I am going to keep trying at this dose longer.  No noticeable side effects, no weight gain or sleepiness."


"I have been taking this pill for 5 months to even out my hormones. It took my body only one week to adjust to the pill, which I don't think is bad. My period lasts from 2 to 3 days, very very light, no cramps. I do get hungrier before the cycle, otherwise I try to watch what I eat. To all the ladies, everyone's body will react differently to the pill. The main point is that you have to find the pill which will not affect you in any way. Generess Fe is not a bad pill, it's just for some people it works, for some it doesn't. I honestly don't have any problems with the pill, I feel great. Before the pill, I was depressed, stressed. This helped me get rid of stress, anxiety and depression."


"Cleared up my symptoms within a couple of days. Felt much better after day 8. No side effects, as I also take acidophilus."


"This has been a miracle drug for me and my wife, it has brought a balance between us that has never been there. She can tell when I am not taking it right away within hours of missing a dose, it is truly a life saver. The clarity it brought has given me a whole new lease on life."


"This is the first time being on birth control. I've been on the pill for 3 months, I am 5'2 and I was 130lbs before, now I'm 150lbs. I don't have mood swings, and my sex drive is still pretty high, and my skin looks amazing.  Overall the pill does it's job."


"I started on Paroxitine approx 4 weeks ago  due to a long episode of depression and anxiety. I noticed a difference within about 10 days of starting this medication. A month down the track I feel so much better, almost like a new person."


"I have been on these for 7 days and they haven't helped at all even though I have changed my eating habits."

"I'm jealous but happy for the people this medicine worked for. As for myself, I took it for about 4 months (along with Cymbalta which I'd never taken). This combination made me crazy. At first, I didn't want to smoke, then wanted to smoke more. Also, was convinced I could only eat chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream (Don't even like ice cream). Gained 50 pounds before I became aware of my insanity and stopped both medicines. Hope others have better luck and it seems many of you did. "


"Took the pill every six hours for two weeks after shoulder surgery to deal with the immense pain. It worked! Then I stopped one day. Big mistake. The withdrawal took a week and I felt like going to the ER. No one told me to taper off. The pain became unbearable again especially after physical therapy and now I only take one an hour before PT. Bottom line, it works but is a narcotic so addiction CAN happen and withdrawal must be executed carefully."


"I am so glad I've stumbled upon this page. I'm 24 with a mild YI that started yesterday. It is now 3:26 am and I am dealing with the most uncomfortable burning feeling I've ever had in my life. I've tried the 7 day before and it didn't work well for me so this time I'm trying the 3 day and omg! The YI its self didn't even feel this bad. It would be nice to be able to get some sleep but being that this burning woke me out of my sleep it looks like it's going to be an all nighter for me. I'm so happy I'm not alone in this. Stay strong girls !"


"First month was awful, with 3 week period and constant crying and mood swings. 2days into the second pack, my menstrual stopped, along with the mood swings. I was on Nuba ring before this and gained 20lbs "


"I received my Implanon in July 2008. The first year was alright.  Now I have experienced extreme weight gain that I cannot seem to work off. I have my period all the time now  twice a month, very tired and severe cramps. I am going to get it removed."


"After my wellness checkup and blood analysis, I was told by my md to start taking Vit. D3-2000 daily.

I took it as recommended for 2 days and I noticed that I was experiencing dizziness, tiredness and really bad cramps in my hands, feet and legs.  I thought that I was dehydrated and drank more water.  The cramps kept getting worse and I also started having increased palpitations and more dizziness.  As the only change I had made in my daily regimen was taking the D3, I decided to stop taking it to see if it might be the cause.  Sure enough, these symptoms disappeared.  So, why are we being told to take this?  Several of my friends and family have been advised to do the same lately.  Is it a new "health" sham?"


"I have taken 1 mg oral tablets of Clonazepam for several years.  There are days I do not take it because it can create logginess. My wife was going to have to move to another room due to my every few seconds of leg movement while sleeping. This medication has completely eliminated the  restless leg kicking.
The side effects are the feeling of logginess with difficulty getting up in the morning."


"I've been on this medication for about two weeks. Since starting, I've had very increased anxiety, a dull headache every day in my temples, and restless sleep/resulting extreme fatigue. The medication has not had any impact on my very moderate acne. I have noticed some water retention/bloating as well. I'm going to finish the month out, but the side effects I've experienced so far are not at all worth continuing to take this. I am so tired on a daily basis that I can barely function, due to the inability to sleep soundly, even when taking a sleep aid."


"Am 48 yo woman. Have Fibromyalgia, Myofacial Pain Syndrome, Diabetes, Neuropathy, 4 joint surgeries (tendon reconstructions on both elbows, and two surgeries on left ankle for complete rupture of Brevis tendon, recent fractured L2 vertebrae, and degenerative arthritis in fracture area and neck. Also lost my father and daughter both in the past 24 months.

On Vicodin for daily pain and 10/325 Percocet for flare-ups.  Tried morphine with terrible side effects so had to quit.

For really rough days the Percocet works well. I take with 4mg Zofran. Lifts depression because people feel less depressed when pain is relieved!  May also work due to other reasons.

Always take on empty stomach because when I take with food I get less effect."


"Hey everyone! So i had sex and the condom happened to break! I was near my ovulation time. I took Plan B maybe 30 min to an hour after it happened. The next day I felt super nauseous. I worried myself to Death looking at reviews. But please just relax!!!! Reviews will just worry you and make things worse! I ended up getting my period on time, but it came 2 days early. I had brown spotting a few days prior to getting my period. My breasts were SOOOOOOOO sore. But hey I'm not pregnant! And I'm getting on birth control this month. I wish the best of luck to all of you! And please be safe! I know a friend who took plan B and it didn't work :("


"I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder about 6 years ago and had my share of trying different medications to get it under control. After multiple trials with medicines my doctor finally found the right combination for me (Lexapro, lithium, (Depakote had sexual side effects), Synthroid, trazodone at night, multivitamins and B-1 vitamin). This combination worked great to get my mood swings under control. Once my mood swings were under control, I started having extreme anxiety attacks. I was then diagnosed with anxiety disorder as well. My doctor prescribed 0.75 mg Klonopin 3 times a day, as needed and it is a lifesaver. Klonopin knocks my anxiety down within 15 min. I have been taking it for 3 yrs with great results."


"This was prescribed to me by my sleep specialist for multiple vivid nightmares on a daily basis. I started with 1mg, didn't notice a difference and I am now up to 3mg, still no decrease in nightmares. It's been over a month and the only effect this medication has on me is waking up with zero energy and feeling drained throughout the day."


"Just found out I had diabetes about 7 months and also noticed that I was not getting erections. So after 7 months I want to GP who prescribed viagra. After using just one 50 mg one it worked and now I'm back to having erections as before and early mornings ones too. It's absolutely great medicine."


"This medication helps, although I have to take it twice a day and about 40mg at a time for gastroesophageal reflux disease. Does not stop all the burning problem, however does help take the edge off the pain so one can work."


"I'm on my second month and I'd say it's doing what it's intended to do. My periods are slightly less heavy and I don't have the normal monthly cramping like I used to. I have not lost my sex drive, and if anything its been increased. However, I did notice a change in appetite and a feeling of never feeling full. I seem to want to eat everything in my path. My acne seems unchanged, but maybe it's too early to notice."


"Fortesta was my 1st try with a hormonal treatment. My Doc rocks and had a discount card. Was following the directions as my Testosterone levels were not in the normal range of 400-900 mg/dcl. Anyway, after the same depression, insomnia, overall and weakness symptoms some described here, my mega blood work revealed that I was at 109 on the Tes-scale.
Only warning I would put forth is to watch the dosage. I experienced some "fits of irritability" and then slight back pimples, etc. So I adjusted the dosage to half and lasted twice as long. Worked out well as I am of smaller stature at 5'-6" and 142lbs. Too much testosterone. Works well and dries quickly.
"


"I just started talking this medicine because I finally decided to make the right step getting off pain pills."


"Was one 60 mg for 4 years, had some relief from panic attack with depression. Had some rough times job related, medical issues not related to above, and doctor increased to 120 mg. normal dosage is no more than 60mg according to insert in med bottle and Internet. After 3 years on this dose it quit working. The withdrawal was the worst thing ever. During taking Cymbalta, I developed diabetes. Withdrawal took 8 months and pdoc gave me lamorigine, an anti seizure med for withdrawal. As I tapered off my diabetes went away! Pdoc denied Cymbalta caused it. I googled it and proof, all SSRI's can cause hyperglycemia!  I've tried everything from Prozac to lexipro. Same crap. Now on transidone and back to having normal feelings"


"The insertion was a breeze but the two weeks following it I was depressed and had a ongoing headache. I was on my period forever and it seemed like having sex caused me to have my period. I talked to my doctor about my continuous period and she prescribed me medroxyprogesterone. Its a pill that you take for 21days to stop the bleeding, it worked until a few days after I stopped the medication and my period came back. I'm on my third bottle now. My only issue are the periods but I doubt I'll take it out of my arm. I don't know if weight has anything to do it, I'm 5'6 and 118 pounds.. everyone's body is different. I didn't get acne or weight loss/gain."


"My son was on Abilify for the past year and he has been tic free.  I am upset because we now are taking him off because his liver enzymes are to high.  I wish this didn't happen because he has been tic free since he started taking it."


"I believe I'm allergic. Itching and rash onset after taking for over l Week ."


"This drug almost killed me within the last four months that I have been on it after taking it for five years, and in my own personal opinion, it should be taken off the market!!! I have suffered from extreme soreness in my stomach, extreme exhaustion where I was sleeping almost all the time from being exhausted, dizzy, irritable, lightheaded, very hot hands and feet, swollen throughout my whole body, extremely agitated and angry (which is out of my true character, as i'm normally quite positive and happy) and I was waking up in the middle of the night with a horrible "quiver" in my throat that felt like oxygen was being cut off until I sat up and calmed down until it passed. THIS DRUG SHOULD BE BANNED!!!!!! IT'S POISON!!!"


"I just started taking phentermine. I like it that the diet pill controls my appetite. The only problem is I have been up for 2 days and can't even fall asleep."


"I recently started taking Blisovi Fe 1.5/30 and my experience has been awful! I started taking it to regulate my periods. I have had minor headaches, lots of fatigue and nausea, I was vomiting towards the end of finishing my first pack (horrible) I can't sleep at all, I find myself staying up until about 5 or 6 am until I force myself to lay down and sleep because if not I could stay up all night! I have abdominal pain sometimes & I have lost my appetite & trust me I like to eat. I have been sick for a total of about 3 weeks & a day now & things are starting to concern me. I know it says that irregular bleeding is normal, but being on your period for 2 weeks with semi heavy bleeding? I don't think so...."


"Whoever designed the applicator tube doesn't have their head screwed on correctly! It was difficult applying it since it's designed with sharp rounded edges. It hurts to even insert it, worse after applying it literally started burning very, very badly! I have never felt anything pain burning sensation inside my vagina after trying to treat a yeast infection. I usually buy the knock off brands (Walgreens,CVS) but seriously never had any horrible experiences like I did with Monistat. Ladies look elsewhere or go see your Dr. I personally don't recommended this product at all."


"About 3-4 months of using this medicine I started to notice the way it effected my thinking. Things would come up in my life that would've normally triggered my depression. However when these things happened, I felt a fake sense of relief. I felt like I wanted to be upset about these things that were happening, but my brain wouldn't let me. It felt unfamiliar and unlike myself. It was as though I could feel a whole layer of feelings that I was unable to express. My doctor switched me over to Zoloft and I'm noticing better results."


"I have been on Nuvaring for 4 months and as far as comfort I don't even notice it and neither does my partner, so initially I loved it. I was sold, until I noticed I have been consistently breaking out like a teenager, I am unusually dry and it is painful at first during sex because of this. I was willing to deal with that. What scared me off of the ring is that every month a week before I start my period, I have gotten really dizzy, lightheaded and have been getting headaches. After reading all the reviews about blood clots, I just don't think it's worth the risk and side effects."


"I havd been taking Losartan 50 mg for 10 years. I had eclampsia with my second baby and never went back to normal. 5'10" 158 lbs very active 45 year old woman. I excersice and on low salt diet for years. It stopped working and my Cardiologist put me on Edarbi 80 mg. Worst drug I've tried. I've been on it for 3 weeks. My BP is getting higher and higher. Last reading of 180/100 today. From second dose I've had chest pressure, shortness of breath, really bad back pain. Left arm pain... fluttering in my heart. I had never had any of this symptoms before. The only thing that has changed was Edarbi. I'm really scared and seeing my doctor tomorrow to stop thus drug immediately. Not worked for me :("


"Not working for my back pain, wonder if I will be able to ask doctor to increase from 100mg.  I have been confused  which I didn't connect with the tablets. Thanks for your comments, it may help me to stop taking them or increase mg. I cannot sleep with pain, maybe I'll just take at night."


"This is only related to the insertion, it was easy and I felt absolutely nothing. It felt like a Pap smear honest to god truth."


"I got this implanted in May 2015, so it has been almost a year. It started off great, light spotting, not pregnant, less cramps. 6 months in I started to get heavier periods (My period was never heavy before I got this) and they would be longer each month. I would get about a week off and it would come back. My cramps have gotten continually worse the past few months, as well as my acne. I have also gained 20 pounds (but that could also be attributed to me going to college) but overall, this birth control does what it's supposed to, with some uncomfortable side effects."
