"While this medication hasn't solved everything, 50mg of every night it has helped me get some of my life back. My anxiety was so bad that I couldn't eat or work. This has really helped with the more "mental" symptoms of anxiety whereas other medications mostly just helped with the physical (sweaty palms, tremors, chills). It also has helped me sleep tremendously, though I do have some trouble getting up in the morning. No other side effects."


"I'm just finishing my second month of pills.  I had a crazy increase in appetite the first month, but it's evened out now.  But now I've been experiencing breakthrough bleeding for about nine days.  I really hope it stops."


"I was on several different types of BC that all made me nauseous/vomit until I found Mircette. I had absolutely no side effects with this pill. The only reason I stopped taking it was because my husband and I wanted to start a family. I stopped taking the pill in August and we conceived in October so it had no effect on my fertility. I plan on taking this pill again as soon as I finish breastfeeding."


"I've been on it for 3 months.  I started with the smallest dose and went up to the highest.  At the lower dose I started seeing my fasting numbers go down significantly.  At the middle dose, they leveled.  At the higher dose, I was sick to my stomach with anything I ate.  I was a zombie for a few hours.  The first two months, my A1c went down significantly.  The interesting thing about the med is that I never got the diarrhea, instead, it has given me constipation.   I haven't lost any weight.  I'm on the middle dose now.  Another interesting thing about the med is that at the middle and higher dose, I am hungry all the time.  I feel like I'm eating more than before.  My fasting numbers are back up.  I don't think it's working for me."


"I went to my OB for my 6 week Post partum appointment and we discussed options for bc and I went with the shot because I am horrible at remembering pills. I have not stopped bleeding since the day I got it (going on my 3rd month), no sex drive and I am always hungry. I lost all my baby weight (26lbs) right after my daughter was born in August and have since gained back 14 lbs. I hate the way the shot makes me feel and the bleeding is ridiculous. I wanted something that I could take while breast feeding and they told me I wouldn't get my period while breast feeding but I have been bleeding since the day I got the shot. I will not be getting the 2nd shot, I think I will try the patch. If not just wait for my period to come back and do NFP."


"I have been on Zyprexa for 6months now and it has calmed me down quite a bit. I have no more racing thoughts. I don't hear voices or see things anymore. The only down fall to this medicine is the weight gain. I would highly recommend it though."


"I had been depressed for many years and tried just about everything out there, nothing worked. Then my doctor put me on Pristiq. I am now feeling like a new person. I have been on it for 2 years now and never want to go off it. I have however forgotten to take a dose and the next day was awful. Mood swings in the snap of a finger, tears over minor things etc. Great medicine."


"I've been taking this medicine for 8 days. I feel ok. No significant side effects so far. I havent cried once since Ive been on it, and honestly i dont know if i even can anymore. So far so good. I would say its too early to tell if this is the "one". Im on 5 mg only. I take this for a anxiety disorder and slight depression. Dont be afraid to try this one. I was really scared and worried that Ive made a bad decision. If i didnt take this Id be crying everyday...so this has helped. Fingers crossed on continuing no side effects!"


"I am still on Nuvaring but am ready for a change. I don't feel like myself anymore. I feel lost, confused and it's very hard for me to feel happy without feelings of anxiety and panic overcoming me. I have recurring negative thoughts that give me anxiety that I cannot stop. I feel like I'm spinning out of control and unable to control my thoughts. I have "crazy" outbursts and am extremely sensitive. I have noticed that in the past few months that I go through one week where I feel like I should completely change my life- pack up and move away, usually the week before I take the ring out. I'm ready to be done with Nuvaring forever!"


"I had Mirena fitted 4 weeks ago and immediately I started with rashes and itching, first on my neck, then face, then arms. I've been prescribed steroid creams and 3 x antihistamines a day (normal dose 1 a day). It has now settled down on my face but still lingering a bit on my neck and arms. I also think I've gained a few pounds, I normally don't fluctuate at all. My GP has agreed to remove it this week if I choose. Just not sure whether to give it a bit longer to see."


"I've had vertigo for three years now due to a head injury.  This cause inner ear damage and I have chronic dizzy spells.  I have tried every medication out there and was introduce to Xanax at a Urgent Care Clinic.  BINGO!  Finally, I found something that works.  It also the only medication that helps me sleep.  I don't know what I'd do without it.  Addicting but at least I can make it better with Xanax."


"I was given this for a severe sinus infection and double ear infections, received my first dose at the urgent care this was yesterday, I took my dose last night and laid down to no avail could I sleep it was so weird like I was full of energy. I did get a metallic taste in my mouth but that is all. I'm still sneezing a lot and ears still hurt but will see how I am in day 3. So far it's been good I am also allergic to everything under the sun so this is the only antibiotic I can take.."


"The medicine works fine, but it is in the absolute worst delivery system ever.  I can't imagine an elderly person or someone with arthritis trying to use this pen."


"Medication helped with frequent urination. I was able to sleep all night finally. Gave me severe dry mouth and sinus issues. Had to stop taking."


"Woke up at 1 AM with chills. Later in the day fever was spiking to 104 even with Advil so decided to go to Urgent Care. Doc was nice but tried to pursuade me not to take Tamiflu due to side effects and minimal benefits. I took the prescription but was undecided about using it. Anyway after paying $161, I thought I would give it a shot. Took first dose at 7:45 PM, about 19 hours after onset of symptoms. Vomited after 45 minutes and then again after another hour. I was really regretting taking it. Then woke up at 2 AM to find that I had no fever and no muscle ache! I feel 80% better already, just 7 hours after first dose. Hard to believe how fast this thing worked. I will try next dose with meal and hope that helps reduce vomiting."


"I went back on the pill in the fall of 2016, I didn't experience any nausea like I did with previous pills which was great. Then 3 months later my pill was switched to Lutera, and my pharmacist told me it was the same thing I was taking just different packaging. I then started getting UTIs (which i never had before), severe anxiety, and hair loss( clumps were coming out in the shower!), and spotted a week before my period. I had no idea what was happening and the doctors I went to were of no help. Finally after a few months I went off Lutera to see if it was the culprit. All those symptoms went away after a couple weeks."


"First dose went down OK. Second dose couldn't get it all down or would have thrown up what I already drank. Glad I had baby wipes. Actually, don't wipe just dab. Hope I don't have to do this again for a long time.  Had some time to think sitting on the commode.....There are satellites in outer space that can see a candy bar wrapper on the sidewalk in front of your house, you would think someone could come up with a better way to do this. Maybe the medical community should talk to NASA!"


"< 1% of Study patients complained of hallucinations. But I guess I am in that 1%. I had to get off it after the 3rd dosed. Otherwise it was a fantastic drug."


"I just started my 2nd month of Zarah. I switched to this one because my precious BC was causing spotting. This is by far the worst birth control I've ever taken. I've been having severe mood swings and crying spells, which never happened before. I cannot take it anymore."


"I started Loryna about 3 and a half weeks ago. I was preparing for an IVF embryo transfer. I wanted to select Yaz as the birth control to prepare for my transfer, but learned Yaz is no longer on the market. This should have been my first clue that a generic form of a drug that was off the market might still not be safe. I started taking Lornya. About a week and a half of taking it, I felt a pain in my calf. The pain intensified to the point I could hardly walk. I decided to check on this and it was found that I formed a blood clot behind my knee. I was advised to stop Loryna immediately. I now have to take 2 shots a day of blood thinners for 3 to 6 months. I also think my IVF will be cancelled because of this. No history of blood clots."


"2 months on Sertraline and it WORKS! Read horror stories online but decided to give it a shot. Started at 25MG for 1 week, 50mg for 2 weeks and now 100mg. I was the type of person that was SO negative and upset. Always down and feeling sorry for myself, something bad happens and it's the end of the world.  Sex drive-HA! What sex drive?  When I first began I had bad headaches even my first migraine, dry mouth and a constant yawn-those didn't last that long, maybe a week or 2. Now I'm happy, much more positive, I feel good about myself and I'm grateful for what I have.  My sex drive has returned although it is difficult to orgasm. It's worth it though. Peace of Mind at last."

"I have tried one other type of birth control and it didn't work and I have been on Loestrin for almost 2 months and I have mixed feelings on it. I do get spotting and minor cramps throughout the entire month. I got very sick when I started to take it so I lost a bit of weight. But it has made me very tired and very hungry although I haven't actually gained any weight. I am a teen that has had VERY bad cramps and VERY heavy bleeding and while it helps with the bleeding, the cramps aren't much better. It is most definitely a pill that you have to take same time everyday. No waiting 10-20 minutes because you will have spotting. "


"I have been on the Implanon for almost two years, I'm getting it replaced and putting in a new one sometime in January. I absolutely love it, I don't get my period for months at a time, my longest one was two months. When I do get it, it is the same I've always bled in the beginning of it, and after the first week or so it's nothing but a light bleeding if hardly any at all. I would recommend it, but you also have to take into consideration that any birth control affects people differently depending on how your body reacts to it. I love it, and have gotten scared about pregnancy since I had my daughter in March of 2010, but that's only from not getting it for months at a time. I haven't gotten pregnant when I should have. I love it."


"I had L3-L4 diskectomy in l988.  Since '98 have had steady pain down left side, including hip.  Have L5-S1 joined from birth.  Finally went to a specialist in physical medicine and am on Lyrica 75mg 2 x day.  I can WALK again!  Feels like a miracle!"


"I am excited about this healthy journey. I started taking Contrave Monday 24th (183lbs) , went back to the doctor Saturday29th (179lbs). So yes it is working for me 4lbs down and 3lbs of fat gone! I have not had any side effects and I pray it skips me... My goal is to be 160lbs by 11/21 if I lose more that will be terrific! However, I know it's not a quick fix more of  a lifestyle change which is why I am a pescatarian and loving it. I believe if you do your part (no junk, soda, or bad carbs)  Contrave will do the rest.

What makes it more worth the try was the cost. I use the coupon which discounted it to 90.00 plus my insurance covered it so I only paid 40.00 for a 30-day supply."


"Was prescribed melatonin by my doctor about 2 months ago. Due to anxiety, and tinnitus I hadn't been sleeping until around 6-7am or not at all. Having university the next day was a big pain, when I had no sleep and had to be able to focus for the rest of the day. I had been on many different medications before for both anxiety and insomnia, some of which worked but all had bad side effects.
Melatonin works extremely well for me, with no noticeable side effects. I take 2 mg two hours before bed, and it works well. I normally get a good 7-9 hours sleep when I take melatonin and don't feel drowsy the next day."


"I have been taking the 1.5 dose now for about a month, it has really gotten my diabetes under control, yes I had a little stomach issues (mostly gassy) in the first week or so I used it, but it cleared up, I inject it into my stomach, but I alternate sides every week so I am not injecting it in the same place all the time. I think this helps. I have experienced a bit of weight loss about 2 pounds in a month, which is not terrible. But looking at all the other comments in here, I guess it affects people in different ways, my experience has really not been bad at all. I hate giving my self injections, but it far out weighs the high sugar readings. Your supposed to be between 70 and 99, I was 481, I am now down  around the 100 mark."


"Switched to Metadol {methadone hcl} from a rotation of morphine contin & hydromorph contin.
The transition was without any complications or side effects.
From 100mg of morphine twice daily {or 3x18mg hydromorph daily} ...to 4x10mg daily of Metadol {methadone hcl}.
Almost a year has past & no worries!
With 1 to 2 gms of  medicinal cannabis & 40mg of Metadol daily, all of my pain and other side problems are now in the past.
No side effects except lethargy {a lot of time in bed but not having quality sleep; I suspect a lack of REM sleep}.
I'm attending a chronic pain clinic. I'm 65 years old with lots of youth experimentation with most rec. drugs.
With acceptance from the authorities, the Metadol cost is covered."


"Before this birth control I had very irregular, very painful, and very heavy periods. Along with that I had "abnormal" hair growth and fluctuating breast size. Since starting this all of these things have improved immensely. I love knowing when my period will come, it's so much more tolerable and lighter then I literally thought possible. The downsides, I have tender breasts (not bad though), occasional nausea, and acne. I've never had acne before, but it is something I am able to control and deal with easily. OH! The best part, I'm not pregnant!
Everyone reacts differently to different birth controls. If you have way out of wack hormones like I did, I highly suggest this birth control. Besides, it's inexpensive."


"Reduced heavy bleeding and cramps from fibroids but my hair from my head, has started to fall out. Lots of hair is now on my  floor, bed sheets and pillow.   I am not taking any other type of drug except one instant Nescaf"


"My Mom has congestive heart failure now and for 2 days her doctor gave her 5mg of Lisinopril. She seemed much more alert and less fatigued. "


"Aleve worked much better at controlling pain."


"Went to my doctor because I needed to lose 40 to 50 pounds. I have been on Contrave for three weeks and have lost six pounds. The only problem is my doc gave me Xanax as this keeps me calm as the Contrave makes me anxious.This medicine is not worth it. It makes me feel very wired. I guess I should have known when the Xanax was prescribed."


"All of the side effects mentioned in reading the warning, cold, numbness in leg, lower back pain, tingling in leg, hand I'm already experiencing these symptoms, plus I'm talking pain meds from pain management.  Scared to try this meds. my mother had a massive heart attack while on this medication. I'm terrified to even try this."


"I have been taking Cozaar 50 mg a day combined with Coreg 25 mg 2x daily for about 10 years. My blood pressure was 200/120. About 2 years ago Coreg CR 20mg replaced the  Coreg daily. This regimen slowly reduced my BP to 100/60.  This BP was too low so I stopped the Coreg CR completely. I am now on Cozaar 50 mg 1 per day and my BP is averaging 125/60-70."


"Wow! I wish I would have found these reviews before purchasing the Monistat 1 day treatment!! I am currently laying in my bed with a freezing cold La Croiux can on my crotch.Let me give you some back story... I was on day 5 of my YI, after trying ACV, probiotics, yoghurt, & garlic I was fed up and ready to get this over with. I opted in for the one day treatment because why would someone pick 7 day insertion when you can go for 1....? Well I know why now. About 15 min after inserting "the devils egg"  my vagina really started to burn and itch so applied the cream because well I've already come this far. It made 20x worse!!!

I decided to call my gynecologist and she said I'm likely allergic to the Monistat. im waiting on my prescription."


"complete waste of time to take this stuff. doesnt do anything"


"Over the years I have taken a number of different drugs and combinations of drugs for depression. By far the worst side effects I have ever experienced were associated with Abilify. The muscles in my legs became so stiff that walking anywhere was slow and painful. I felt nauseous all the time and several times experienced acid reflux. There was the constant feeling of needing to move and involuntary jerks of arms and legs. Sometimes my legs would shake uncontrollably. It took a while for these side effects to subside after coming off the drug. It's really good to see that this drug has helped so many people but it's not for me!"


"this is ridiculous I've been on my period for almost 2 weeks I'm super emotional and I get really bad cramps and I've been SUPER heavy. I want this thing out asap"


"Been in therapy with a Counselling Psychologist for just over 3 years.

Diagnosis from Consultant Psychiatrist - Complex-PTSD, Bipolar Type 2 and Fibromyalgia.

Been on Sertraline 200mg for 2 years. Ate Diazepam 2.5mg like smarties after a relationship with an Anti Social Personality Disordered Man.

Been taking Quetiapine since December '15 and slowly moved up to 125mg to increase to 200mg.

Was taking 7.5mg Mertazipine for sleep though have now removed it due to increase of Quetiapine and weight gain.

Overall I'm feeling much calmer, more rational, less reactive and more confident talking to people.

After intrusive thoughts, cognitive dissonance, depression, anxiety, insomnia, crying, dissacociation, nightmares etc I'm happy!"


"I was prescribed this antibiotic post op for a UTI that I developed from catheter during procedure.  Cleared the infection within 2 days, but 5 days later I developed a severe itchy all over body rash which included my eyelids being so swollen I could barely open.  Thought I was headed for ER but doctor prescribed a steroid to counteract.  Finished the week long steroid dose and still getting flare ups."


"I was diagnosed with PMDD after talking my new OB-GYN. I told her about how large swollen, and PAINFUL my breasts have become in my late 20's. My bras would not fit for 2 weeks/month. The mood swings were there, but it was mostly out of how self conscious and uncomfortable I was with my large breasts and body water weight for 2 weeks every month. It was awful PMS. This birth control definitely helped! My breast size has since decreased and they don't swell like the used to! I will say my sex drive has decreased....I don't feel up for it like I was before I went on BC. But it's not terrible!"


"I have been addicted to any kind of pain pills since I was in high school. It all started with a football injury. I'm not blaming anyone or anything for my dependence of pain pills. At my worst I was snorting 13-15 30mg Roxies a day. I've been taking Suboxone for 4 months now and it has totally saved my life. I started Suboxone and ever since I have been clean and happy. I can finally start my life again. I strongly urge anyone with a opiate dependence to seek out Suboxone , it will help you!"


"Started on 18mg and did not notice any difference in my ability to concentrate, but noticed that my appetite had decreased. My dosage was switched then to 32mg and I noticed that my attention span had increased slightly but the more noticable change was to my mood and my anxiety. My hands shake from this medication and I get hot flushes although my hands are cold and clammy. I sweat more unconsciously and this is uncomfortable. I went back to talk to my psychiatrist and was told that side effects tend to even out, and sometimes an increase in dosage can speed up this process, so I went up to 54mg. Although the medicine has made a change in my attention, my appetite has gone in the day and I have lost around 7kgs."


"If I could give it a 0 I would.  I can't remember the last time I slept and the pills didn't make me do so much as little as yawn- sick of it and the doctors won't help."


"Pretty sure this medication has been making me gain weight. Also my periods take 2 weeks, that's half my life! So I take the pink pills straight with no period because I can't do that. I will have to go back to seasonique."


"60 year old male, this sums it up wife said I was like a young buck ! Only side effect nose was a little stuffy."


"I'm 13 and sweat extremely badly. I can be sitting in my room with my fan on high and have sweat dripping from my arm pits. My mom never believed me, so when I went to the dermatologist for my acne I asked about sweating. She gave me Hypercare. I've been using it for weeks and not 1 thing has changed. "


"Today I had a presentation in front of 20 directors of different companies in the Netherlands. Two hours in advance I took 20mg of propranolol. It all went very well, and I wasn't nervous at all. This medicine is great for me and changed my life completely."


"I'm mainly posting to balance out the negative reviews. I have been on Orsythia for about a year and frankly it was a godsend. Before Orsythia I turned into a crazed evil sobbing wreck every month. Once I got on it I finally managed to get my moods, and Mega Death Cramps, under control. Lexapro helped also :)

If you have just been prescribed this, i urge you to try it out and give it a chance. Remember that satisfied customers almost never post reviews, and it has helped a lot of women!"


"Controls blood pressure."


"I was put on Baclofen for migraine/cluster headache as a treatment prevention and rescue medicine. It works great for me. It also helps my spasms from having a bladder and kidney disease and ruptured discs. It doesn't help the nerve pain, but overall I think it's better than every other muscle relaxer I've tried. I've had reactions to most and very allergic to Flexeril. I take 20mg up to 4x a day. I'm also okay on Percocet and Klonopin. The 3 make everyday life with constant pain and headaches a lot easier to deal with."


"Aczone has improved my acne in my t-zone, but it has worsened the acne on my cheeks. I never had acne on my cheek, but this makes my cheeks so oily that it has cause lots of acne on my cheeks."


"I went on the pill for my acne and I have to say that for that IT COULD NOT BE ANY BETTER. I used to have horrible cystic acne and it was constant but after starting the pill my face is consistently clear.

The downside, CRAZY moodswings. I literally burst into tears for no reason all the time and I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression which I never had before I started the pill. I can go from having the best day of my life to not moving from bed for two days in an instant and that scares me so I will be choosing not to take the pill anymore as even though I love having clear skin, I dont want to sacrifice my sanity."


"Extreme itching after nearly two years started on 24mgs and now on 10mgs every other day. Tried steroid creams with minimal success any tips would be appreciated heaps. Thanks guys."


"I was a hardcore smoker. Marlboro Reds for over 20 yrs almost 3 packs a day and I quit smoking with no problem thanks to this medicine. I can even be in a room full of smokers and I have no urge at all to smoke."


"Every fall/winter I get a minor cold that goes away quickly, but the horrible cough lingers and turns into bronchitis. Every fall/winter I beg the doctor for another bottle of this stuff. After trying a dozen other medications, this is the only one that works all the time. It is fabulous."


"I was given the 25mg for two weeks then progressed to the 50 mg.  This pill is a God send.  I felt relief with the first pill.  As I continued to take the other pills for the first week, I have seen a very big improvement.  I now control my  bladder, it doesn't control me. I can sleep up to 5 hours a night  without getting up to go.   Thank you for this great medication.  I have had no side effects.  I love this medication and recommend it for others to try.  It has changed my life."


"I was on Triphasil and had migraines for years. I was put on this by the doctor in March of 2011 and the first month I felt a complete change, no migraines. In month 3 I had a normal period 4 days. In month 4 I have no period but I have light cramps that's okay because they were worse on the other one. But I don't know if I should freak out about not having one or throw a Party."


"I found using this medication for pain helps a lot more than some of the pain relievers my Doctor has given me before. "


"Been on Daliresp for 6 weeks now and I feel great no side effects I feel so good I forget to take my inhaler twice a day. Thank you for this amazing medication."


"I didn't last a full week with this prescription, despite the fact that I was given three months worth. Within just a period of a couple days, I was nauseous, dizzy, it gave me diarrhea, and it made me irritable and tired. I was so sick to my stomach, that even though food smelled good, it instantly made me sick to my stomach. Too high dosage for me."


"All I can say is try it and don't take all reviews at face value - not everyone has brain zaps and puts on a ton of weight because everyone is different. All I know is I suffered from major anxiety and depression (tried to get by without meds for some time).  I had fluoxetine and citalopram - the first only helped with depression and the second gave me heart palps.  Now on cymbalta I am feeling normal and wake up refreshed and ready to face the day. The first week was a bit crazy, felt like on a bad trip. Then felt great for a week, then low again for two and now I am fine (Taken them for about 8 weeks now).  I also have the motivation now to lose weight which I have done so I am fairly optimistic. 8 stars because haven't taken it long term yet."


"Simple started out 5"6 188 pound male last September. Had some fatigue and dry mouth but drank more water and it seemed to ease those issues after a few days. Now I am at my goal of 140 pounds and ride my bike three times a week. My doctor says my numbers are good and keep up the good work. I am staying on my full dose as I don't want to gain my weight back like before. Just feel really healthy."


"I felt very nauseous the whole time, and suffered from a hyper sensitivity to smells which only compounded the problem. It happened from the very first day that I took the birth control and lasted a few days after I quit."


"I am laying in bed, vag on fire, can't sleep because of this horrendous medicine. I am on day 3 and I will not finish the full regimen. It is absolutely shameful that the company is marketing and selling his product as is. Clearly there's been a change in the formula-- something's not right."


"Took about 4 hrs to kick in. Do not make the mistake I did and think it's just gas prior to the real deal. Good thing I had a change of clothes with me."


"I've been on this birth control for a little over three years. I started taking it after painful periods. I probably have gained 15 pounds since I started taking it but I'm also 3 years older and glad I don't look like a teenager anymore. In the beginning I took the brown placebos but I stopped and just go from one pack to the next without taking them so I haven't had a period for awhile. I'll have my mood swings sometimes but I had those before being on bc. Other than that I love it."


"I started Diclegis a few weeks ago for nausea. I'm now 11 weeks along and have had no sickness.. it does cause drowsiness so I only take 1 at night. Also dry mouth for me.. but it's worth not getting sick, especially if you have long work shifts."


"To me, this is the ONE medicine I can not live without. I have had to try others due to insurance, and none comes even close! Within 15-30 even the strongest, wanting to smash my head-in migraine will be totally gone! No side effects for me either. Never makes me tired, groggy or the medicated feeling. Taken on empty stomach while in college class and had no problems finishing the class and going home to play with the kids and not the mom who was hiding in a dark room with no noise allowed in the house."


"I'm a 24 year old male. I was on Adderall XR 30mg (daily) for around 3-4 years before my Doctor suggested we try Vyvanse. I have always been pleased with Adderall XR and have no complaints about side effects. Vvyanse (60mg daily) worked as advertised for a about 3-4 days. It was like an upgraded Adderall XR (provided a longer half life that is much needed for my schedule of college and work). Unfortunately, the drug drastically lost its effectiveness. The dry mouth was extreme as well. After just 10 days taking 2 at a time had no effect. Went back to adderall xr and I'm still impressed."


"I take Valium for night terrors in relation to PTSD and anxiety disorder. I have tried many medications but nothing works as well as Valium does. This includes Klonopin, Xanax, and SSRI's used for this condition that do not work at all."


"Abilify served me well over a two month period. Of all of the antidepressants that I have taken over the past 20 years, I would give Abilify the highest rating. However, one of its potential side effects can be significantly increased blood glucose levels  in some Type 1 diabetics. Unfortunately I was one of these and I was never able to control these levels within an acceptable range and I had to discontinue Abilify as a result. These statements should be taken with caution since I was only able to take the drug for 8 weeks. I noted no other serious side-effects. I do suffer from ED but this is as much a result of 40 years of Type 1 diabetes as of any other factor."


"I've had this birth control since September 2014 and I love it! It works great, the procedure was short and sweet and I didn't bruise bad at all after. I highly recommend it to sexually active teens. I believe it's the best birth control out there."


"Have Gastroparesis.  Gag reflex problem. Helps smooth the large muscles.  Cannot tolerate side effects of Reglan.  Use with Zofran at times."


"I have loads of hair on chin, gone hard like a mans beard but I've been using this cream few days & WOW I can't explain skin feels so soft  so people get down to docters and get it best thing ever"


"This pill makes me taste and smell this nasty sour milk taste all the time. I cannot get rid of it, it makes me so nauseous that the thought of taking it nauseates me already. I get so sick off of it, been on it for over two years and symptoms of nausea never subsided. It has also completely taken away my sex drive, only reason I know this is because once my ex and I broke up I got off of it for four months and I was super horny, so uncontrollably horny, I wanted sex at all hours, but upon going back on it, I have zero desire for it. I've missed many days on this pill, because I rather just not take it, that's how gross it is and sick it makes me feel which obviously reduces its effects. If you can get another, please do."


"Well I'm a bit confused. I started using this 2 weeks ago and the other day I commented to my husband that my skin had really cleared up and I was feeling much better. Yesterday I came up all red and blotchy and itchy and today it looks even worse. Not sure if I've used too much or should have washed it off about an hour later or what but I look absolutely hideous - now plastering my face in E45 and hoping it goes down soon"


"I started taking Oxycontin over 3 years ago for chronic pain in my back and left leg and foot. I have peripheral neuropathy, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, sciatic nerve injury, drop foot and have been told I have pinched nerves. All I know is that I have pain. I started taking 40 mg 3 times a day then 80mg twice a day and now my doctor has me on morphine sulphate 100 mg 3 times a day. He said to do this I won't need to continue raising the dose of the Oxycontin. The morphine sulphate has not helped as much as the Oxycontin."


"This nose spray has been working great for me. It has transformed my allergic life from literally not being able to function to the normal me. I can't be more grateful. No side effects at all. It is also amazing how it was effective from the second use onwards. I do recommend the continuous use of it."


"Well I've been taking it for about 14 years now and I've never experienced much of any side effects.

I do have light emotional mood swings from time to time, but since im just 18 I believe they are the normal teenage-kind.

I don't mind it."


"I have been on bupropion for mild depression for many, many years.  I switched to the 300XL recently, in order to only take it once a day.  I had tried many other anti-depressants and found one overriding side effect - sexual problems.  With the Budeprion XL, I have no such effects and the drug works very well."


"Adoxa worked quite well in conjunction with being on Yaz (which makes the Yaz useless as actual birth control). It really cleared up my life long battle of break outs. However there were some side effects that went along with the long term use of the antibiotic as strong a doxycycline, like the nausea, vomiting. It was well worth it. I never had a break out while I was on it for 6 months. After my treatment was completed, the Yaz help with the maintenance for awhile.  Every once and in a while I get a small pimple. Nothing compared to the big icky ones I used to get."


"Cymbalta is the best med I have ever taken for my panic attacks and depression.  It has fixed my mood and is very tolerable."


"I am so pleased have this medication that we have
used in curing my wife breast cancer which almost took her life away.
We appreciate the thoughtfulness in crafting this medication and
thoroughness in delivering helpful advice. We also appreciate the
approachability and willingness to speak with my wife before and after
she has been cured. Thank you again for helping to create the next generation of medication. We hope to assist you in the future!As you prepare for the winter weather and Christmas Day celebrations,I hope you and your family are enjoying a festive holiday season!We feel blessed to be able to not only enjoy a meticulously prepared medication, but also to share the experience with so many loved ones. Love,"


"I have had excess facial hair since I was 17.  I was tweezing at least every other day before I discovered Vaniqa.  I have been using Vaniqa for about 6 weeks and have noticed a big difference in the amount of facial hair that has grown back.  I am now tweezing only a couple times a week.  This creme is pricey, but is well worth it!  I wish I had discovered it years ago!"


"This is horrible i never used to get cramps and BAM they came i was vomiting I couldn't get up they were terrible! I went on vacation and i kept on vomiting and I wasn't even on my period! This made me have mood swings   and i would get dizzy for hours during the day 10 out of 10That i do not recommend this is terrible"


"Ativan helped with nausea tremendously.... I've been dealing with nausea for 8 months ...stress related ...."


"I started taking Contrave for menopausal weight gain. I srtated it 1 week before my fiance left me for a millionairess.  Not sure if it was depression or contrave (likely a combination), but I lost almost 30 pounds in a month.  Now it's been 6 months, and I'm down 34 pounds.  I was vomiting the first week, but that went away quickly.  Only other side effect is slight muscle twitching.  I was barely overweight, but no diet or exercise would take the excess weight off.  I'm thankful."


"I suffered a neurotoxic reaction to another drug, metronidazole; it caused lesions for form on my brain.  This led to neuropsychiatric symptoms, including severe anxiety, major depression, suicidal thoughts (just a month before, I was happy), and horrible insomnia.  I was given mirtazapine and it greatly helped, especially the insomnia.  I had barely slept for eight days--even  Ambien couldn't knock me out after the first night (I'd never taken a sleeping pill in my life and even Ambien couldn't help).  Mirtazapine was a life-saver, literally.  Metronidazole had overstimulated my central nervous system and mirtazapine helped to calm it down.  It took longer to treat the other symptoms, but they, too, resolved."


"Works for pain, but also antibacterial! AND a gentle spray!
I absolutely love this product because I didn't get ANY reactions (like I did from all the others), I HEALED faster, and it DOES take away itching and pain like a charm.

The other products didn't work NEARLY as well. I was disappointed that my local drug stores don't carry it, so I had to look it up and purchase online.

I can't believe stores don't carry it. It's phenomenal product as far as I'm concerned, and since I'm so sensitive, my friends and family use me as a barometer. They love this stuff, too."


"Used this to help combat PMDD. Instead of having PMDD for two weeks out of the month, which for me results in a sense of complete hopelessness, I had four weeks of rage and crying fits. It was pretty relentless for the four weeks I used it until I stopped. Now I feel much better."


"I suffer from major anxiety to the point where it feels like my chest is going to crush itself from the tension. I also have tendencies to get panic attacks at random times along with a feeling a doom and gloom ever hanging over my head. While I never reached a point of suicidal thoughts I did have weeks and sometimes months of listlessness where I didn't want do anything, see anyone, or be anywhere. I felt like nothing mattered.

After being on Wellbutrin I am happy to say these incidents haven't occurred again . Unlike other medicines I have tried in the past, this one has had zero personality effect. I feel like myself, the one who was always trying to bust out of the anxiety ridden zombie that I was."


"Taking 10mg daily. Controls blood pressure to normal level. Only side effect experienced is swelling in ankles. Brisk walk for 1/2 hour daily reduces the swelling."


"This has been the better of the 10 others we have been on with our young son. I will say that he has recently developed leg and lower back pain along with more frequent migraines and hair loss and a horrible rash on arms in legs. Also, some weight and memory loss along with some crying fits. But like I said, sadly this was the least side effects of all the ones we have been on. Topamax was the worst, it trashed his insides and turned my sweet child into a crying, crazy, cursing lunatic! Would love to know if anyone has had luck with less side effects on any other anti-epileptic meds. He goes several weeks so far without any seizures on Vimpat so far."


"I am now on day 7 taking Augmentin  for upper respiratory and sinus infection. Was so ill could not wait to start taking it. I feel a lot better but still not there yet. Still have dry cough at night and sinus problems. On 2nd day if taking developed diarrhea very dark and loose. Still have it but not as severe.   These are just inconveniences compared to how sick I was. Glad I'm taking it"


"This was my first time having Vertigo.  It lasted 4 days and the medication helped but by the 3rd day my head was killing me.  Don't know if this is normal."


"I took phenermine 2 years ago, and within the first month I lost 36 pounds and not a flabby loss. I was weighing in at 283 6' 1" and 30 days later on my check up I weighed in @ 247. I ran 6 miles on the elliptical and still did my body workouts. I had just quit smoking and cut my calorie intake to 1800 per day. At the end of three months I weighed in @ 229. The only side effects I had were cotton mouth and constipation but that's because I didn't drink a lot of water. It's a great pill to help you get to your goal, also Lets just say the wife was pleased!!! I hope this helps you achieve what you are looking for!!!!!"


"I have attacks that make me incapacitated within 15 minutes. Since I have been on this medicine I can actually function without the fear of being knocked off my feet. The fatigue is just something I learn to balance out with rest/sleep. It sure beats the alternative."


"I used the 1 - day yesterday and inserted it at 11:30am w/ a panty liner. No burning just the annoying leakage which is why I used the liner. It relieved the discomfort of the yeast infection right away. I've never used this medication before but would use it again. Today the burning and itching is gone and everything is clearing up."


"will ruin your life"


"Worst bc I've ever taken. I thought it be nice to be able to skip my period so my doctor prescribed me this. I get breakouts bad worse then if I'm not even on bc. I also get spotting and full blown periods way before the inactive pills. I'm on 3rd pack 1st week and having my period. I ordered new bc hopefully it comes soon. I wouldn't recommend this bc at all"


"I've been taking 20mg of Adderall XR for about 4 months now, and yes I'll admit it has dramatically changed my life. All the good side effects come to life and I feel like a completely amazing person."


"I have taken Contrave for several weeks and while it diminished my appetite, I started to really not like food at all.  Mealtimes became drudgery (and I usually love food) and I had a constant upset stomach.  I felt so miserable, I missed my gym workouts.  I stopped taking it and felt fine within a day.  It's not for me.  It's important to feel good."


"As a pharmacy technician, the advice in this column recommends that unused portions of the drug should be flushed in the toilet.  This is an incorrect myth.  Drugs flushed in the toilet can contaminate our resources and water supply.  Any drugs not used should be turned into a pharmacy so proper disposal can be taken care of.
***
Editor's Note - Only about a dozen drugs, such as powerful
narcotic pain relievers and other controlled substances, carry instructions for flushing to reduce the danger of unintentional use or overdose and illegal abuse.
The FDA worked with the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) to develop the first consumer guidance for proper disposal of prescription drugs.

"I was not instructed to take this supplement; however, I am trying to improve my overall health. I suffer from several maladies including chemo induce  peripheral neuropathy in my toes, a congenital bony malformation of the spine (fusion of an extra and a deformed vertabrae - L4 & L5), breast cancer and the resulting Lymphedema, high blood pressure, and more. I started taking this supplement after speaking to a diabetic whose doctor recommended it to her. I was also taking b12 for anemia. I have noticed significant relief in the two weeks that I have been taking it and wish I had been told about it 5 years ago! Good luck to all of you who have this problem. I hope you find what works for you."


"I took the medicine for 17 years after I had A VNS implant for my seizure disorder, the brand name medicine I considered to have the most positive experience in removing them overall, as the generic brand names had all side affects to my body by giving more seizure's & head aces ."


"This is the worst experience I have ever had with a birth control. My acne is worse and my mood is awful. I've felt depressed for the whole time I've been on it where I just want to cry for no reason or if something does not go right. I have had calf cramps as well. My normal birth control is Lutera and I have no complaints about it."


"I am 25 and I had the Mirena inserted 4 months ago. The doctor told me I will experience slight discomfort for the first three weeks and that my bleeding may be abnormal-but what I experienced was far beyond that. The pain on ONLY my right side started to become more severe and COMPLETELY random, it woke me up at nights. I thought it was just my body getting used to the foreign device in my body, after all the doc did say it would take some time. I gave it 4 months of daily agonizing pain and many doc appointments just making sure the Mirena was in place and nothing was wrong. The doc kept me assured that everything was in place and basically hinted that I was simply being dramatic. IUD's aren't worth it to me, I'm back to pills. Too scary!"


"One of the biggest draw backs to this medication is the cost. My insurance pays 80% and I end up paying 35/ month.

I have had some improvements to my pain and sleep and while I am thankful for any gains the lack of a generic makes for a barrier. I am not seeing the improvements I would have liked for the cost. &

Oh and a caution it interacts with a lot of other medications used to treat fibromyalgia so consult your pharmacist before taking.

I regularly end up skirting the fine line of seratonin syndrome with the cocktail I am taking for my fibromyalgia with no depression."


"I had had a headache 24 hours a day seven days a week for a little over 4 months. I saw a neurologist who told me that it was tension causing my headaches and that it was all in my head. He put me on Paxil and it was without exception the single worst experience of my life. I had never been depressed before, never been diagnosed with anxiety, nothing to suggest any mental health issues whatsoever, and I was prescribed Paxil. This drug nearly killed me. As I said, no history of mental illness or suicidal thoughts in my entire life and when I was put on this drug it made me feel suicidal. I felt like I was better off dead than alive. I was only 15 years old at the time, I'm now 16.I don't think you should take this if you are under 18 years old! "


"I've had insomnia for over a year now and I had been taking a small amount of xanax at night and an ambien cr.  I typically would get 5-6 hrs sleep with this combo.   Not ideal but it is what it is.  I heard of belsomra and asked my doc to write me a prescription.   I haven't taken ambien for the past 3 nights as my script ran out and I was waiting on my pharmacy to get belsomra in.

Anyways took belsomra 15 mg waited,  nothing.   Took remaining 5 mg an hour later still nothing.   Basically laid in bed all night with very little light sleep.

Sucks cuz this drug is expensive and was hoping it would work better than my current combo.   Guess I'm going to have to stick with ambien.  Might try Lunesta see how that works."


"I was a basket case.  Had the sling (we all know how THAT went - grew in to my uterine wall and had a full hysterectomy with some still left inside), Detroit LA, Vesicare - first 5mg then 10mg then doubled up on the 10mg (THAT got my GP's attention. Referring me to Uro-gynecologists where I FINALLY had a concrete diagnosis of a spastic bladder (was always told I had a prolapsed bladder!).  Botox or permanent cathater were my only 2 options.  Botox it was!  Besides an excruciating experience with the injections  (the Dr. RINSED out the lydocaine half way through the process because she saw "debris" in my bladder and didn't re-apply), it's been 6 days since my injections and I literally feel THE BEST I've felt in years!"


"My experience with Tri-Sprintec was horrible. I was recommended to this because my doctor said it would help clear up my acne and that my insurance would pay for it. This is my first birth control pill. The first week I had evere side effects. My head was constantly hurting, I gained 10 pounds, I had a huge increase in appetite, my mood swings got worse and I always felt nausea after everything I ate. I stop taking it after 6 days. I'm requesting an immediate switch to something else."


"I have bipolar, depression, anxiety, and I have been to mental hospitals with suicidal tendencies. I have tried many other medications, and have been on just viibryd for the last year now. Nothing in the past has helped me as much as viibryd has. I went from having anxiety and bipolar episodes to being able to control my outbursts. For people who say they take this medication and it does nothing I believe they may have not taken it long enough. Only adverse effects I have is diarrhea and if I miss a dose by a day I go thru withdrawals pretty bad. I reccomend this medication to every young adult I know!"


"Lialda is not for everyone. Talk to your doctor about other options because they're out there! I was prescribed to take Lialda 3xs daily. A couple hours after my third dose I developed the following reaction: fever, nausea, vomiting, chills, rash/hives on my throat and neck. My doctor wanted me to continue talking Lialda but lessen the dose. I did as told, and was bedridden from the side effects. I then found GI Dr and was prescribed Asacol and medicated enemas. No reactions yet! I wonder why Lialda made me sick but I am fine with Asacol?"


"In 2012 I was about 225 pounds, I had high blood pressure but I think that was brought on by RA(since 2007), I finally asked my doctor, the new endocrinologist at the local medical group who diagnosed my hypothyroidism too. If she could prescribe something to help me. I started 12/19/2012 and with diet, exercise and phentermine I went from 217 to 155 (62 pounds) by 11/30/13. It was work, but phentermine cut my appetite to zero and boosted my energy to 10. I never felt sick and as long as you don't take it after like noon you won't have sleep issues."


"I take birth control for severe menstrual cramps and this did the job! No cramps and very light period. HOWEVER, I was extremely emotional and drowsy all the time! I didn't feel like myself, I didn't want to be around anyone and the littlest thing pissed me off. As soon as I was on the period I felt SO different. That's when I knew I could not take it again. I also got bad acne, but it may have been due to the stress of knowing I was not feeling like myself. I only took it for one month. If you do not feel like yourself when taking it please talk to your physician. When I told mine he mentioned that this drug is known to make some patients depressed."


"Got my wisdom tooth removed. I had a surgical procedure because my tooth was impacted. I had to take 3 pills within 6 hours. It barely worked, the side of my face is still throbbing and in pain. I couldn't take more because of the acetaminophen. Going back to the dentist tomorrow to get something stronger instead."


"If you are thinking about taking this, do not do it. Ask your doctor for something else, anything else. Effexor is horrible. I was put on it due to Depression and Generalised Anxiety. Within the first few weeks I was emotionally numb, I wasn't sad anymore but I couldn't feel happiness. Six months later, while still on this I became suicidal and self harming, my heart rate started increasing due to my anxiety to the point where I was hospitalised. After that it was decided I was so come off it, now coming off it is even worse then being on it, shaking, dizziness, headaches, puking, sweating. I've only been off it a week and already I can feel my mental health calming down. Avoid this drug. Please. For your own safety."


"I am 64 and diagnosed with severe osteoporosis 6 months ago. I began Forteo 3 months ago.  Before taking the Forteo I had 7 fractured discs 5 were compression fractures from the osteoporosis. I had already broken a wrist, fingers and several toes.  6 months ago I broke 8 ribs in a car accident. Now two weeks ago I had a fall and was certain from the level of pain that I had broken my arm the ER seemed to think so until the ex-rays came back. Severe bruising, sprain, strain. I am certain that I would have broken a bone in that fall had it not been for the Forteo.The jury is still out I have some side effects, bone aching, occasional stomach ache but nothing that I can't deal with. I have also noted an increase in my height. Plan to continue."


"This helped with a nasty cold when other OTC mixtures (with less guaifenesin) did not work. The 600mg tab has almost no side effects, though once in a while can make me feel woozy. Made a huge difference in loosening phlegm, helping me sleep, reduced coughing so my vocal chords are not as irritated. Also, my nasal passages cleared up significantly the first day I took it.  It's important NOT to split the tab, it is hard to swallow, but it's formulated as sustained-release.  It can't do it's job over 12 hours unless it is taken whole. Also, drinking lots of fluids (not coffee, tea) does help. Miracle drug (Mucinex)!"


"I had the worse flu ever experienced in my 30 years of life! I wasnt able to go to my day job for 3 days. Sneezing, stuffy nose, lost of appetite, chills down my spine, head aches, bone aches, and Every Time I ate something diarrhea. I had to my night job and couldn't cancel on this one. I took my first tamiflu pill, and wow! I was able to pull myself together to get to my night shift given all my crazy symptoms. The Dr. Gave me 75mg 2x a day for next 5days. I'm still sick but not as bad.. Symptoms reduced significantly so maybe a few more days of it. I am also taking Dayquil and Nyquil combination with tamiflu."


"I am now on my 3rd month of Adipex. I started June at 190 and currently at 166.4lb I still get the dry mouth and had two episodes of getting blurred vision, clammy feeling and passing out and than throw up. Well today I figured out the common factor of each time that happened. I had one alcoholic beverage each of those days. So lesson learned even 1 little drink with this medication can cause major side effects. Other than that I have been totally fine. So I chalked it up to human error!!! Hoping to keep the weight off when my 3 months are up. Well check back on my last day for final results of 3 months."


"I have sjogrens so have a dry mouth. I would give it 10, but I find only one drawback.  I can take only four per day and many days I could use just one more.  But this has really been a godsend for me.  I developed 30 small cavities during the time that I was not taking this (about one year).  And I was slurring my words so much because of the completely dry mouth - my husband actually thought I was having a series of strokes.
With pilocarpine I have my dental problems under control, and I have my voice and comfort back.

My primary doctor did not know about this.  My rheumatologist did not suggest it, my dentist did not know of it...  I got on the internet and looked for a medicine that had the side effect of making my "mouth water" -- almost immediately I found this Rx."


"Have the copper IUD for about 6 month's! ! Just found out I'm pregnant!!"


"I love this product. I've tried EVERYTHING under the sun for my cystic acne. Epiduo is the only one that worked. I'm using it in addition to clindamycin lotion and doxycycline and have been using it all for about 5 days. I noticed a difference in my skin the very first day. I am experiencing some dryness and mild redness upon waking in the morning but nothing a little Neutrogena lotion with SPF couldn't handle. Also I would recommend drinking lots of water if you're on the regimen I am. Need to stay hydrated while using these medicines. Believe me, I'm a registered medical assistant. If Epiduo didn't work, I wouldn't be on here saying it does."


"I have experienced horrible panic attacks and anxiety my whole life but went unnoticed until a major breakdown this summer. I was unable to sleep, had panic attacks at work and could barely function. I had thoughts of doom and my emotions were out of control. The anxiety lead to depression and it felt like my life was spinning out of control.  I have since sought help and am doing great on 10mg of Lexapro and 1 mg Klonpin for anxiety. My moods are also better, worrysome thoughts are under control.  I highly recommend this medication to anyone suffering from anxiety and depression."


"I was put on Cipro for an acute kidney infection (not UTI, actual Pylephronetis (sp)) 6 days ago, due to be a 7 day course in which I was told I would start feeling better by the 3rd day. I am on day 6 and I am worse off than before starting this antibiotic. My fever is fluctuating between 99-102.5, I feel like I've been hit by a train--I actually feel worse than when I had swine flu in 09!--and I feel like I'm being punched in the kidneys (former MMA, been punched in kidneys before, know what it feels like) constantly. Would not recommend Cipro for kidney infection"


"I took Latuda 20mg po qd for 3wk out of 4wk I got Rx for. During the 1st wk , I felt better.  In the 3rd wk,  I increasingly felt weak, "drugged" and unable to function. My BP remained normal. At no time, did Latuda helped with my chief symptom -sleeplessness."


"I had been on generic Lexapro 10mg for about 18 months and it treated my depression well, but I gained almost 40 pounds, was a bit sleepy, and was experiencing sexual side effects.  I was scared to try something else but the weight gain was just too much, especially since it seemed to continue.  My doctor gave me Trintellix 10mg samples which I've taken for a month and what a difference!  I no longer feel sleepy all of the time and the difficulty in achieving orgasm is gone.  As for the weight issue, i'll have to see if it helps.  I feel much more "normal" than on Lexapro as far as energy and mental focus.  The only downside is I do feel more anxious and have more nervous energy, so I don't know how well this drug would treat anxiety."


"I was on remicade for nearly 5 years. it was working great for me up until last October when I started developing sinus infections. I am in remission but yet I still can't work  - my life isn't normal anymore time to switch it up"


"I've had 3 aortic aneurysms. The last operation also involved a patch placed over a surgical hernia caused from removal of the two lower ribs on my left side.  I've been using oxycodone for the past 4 years and aside from insomnia when I take it in the evenings, I am very pleased with the way it controls my pain.  I take it only when I am in pain and limit the dosage to 10 - 20 mgs. (10 mgs per dose, occasionally twice a day).  With this usage, I haven't had dependency or addiction."


"Seroquel worked for me during my rapid cycling last year and really chilled me out very quickly. Only bad thing to say about it is I found the level of sedation far too much, and it left me incredibly "plastic" the next day. Was a bit like a walking zombie, although it got me through the dangerous bit. Also meant as I have great trouble sleeping it helped that side out too, so all in all was very good for me. Came off all medicines 9 months ago. Now only on zopiclone for sleeping. So hopefully no matter how good it is, wont be back on it!"


"I do not recommend Topamax as a solution to migranes. Although it did help keep the frequency of the headaches down at first, in the long run, I had just as many migranes as usual and there were too many side effects to make it worthwhile. My short term memory was practically shot, my hands would tremor and go numb as some points, and i experienced irregular heartbeat, trouble focusing, and sleep issues."


"I have Mirena since last 6 months. I'm feeling normal and my periods are extremely light. I don't need pads just liners are fine for my periods."


"It is the most amazing medicine for birth control I ever used. I actually didn't use anything else except Yaz, never switched to another birth control pill. The only side effect is that I gained weight but that's nothing compared to how amazingly it works. I also got all the acne gone and I have regular periods."


"My body had developed resistance for the  sitagliptin after 45 days of use. It worked fine with my body for 40-45 days, and became ineffective later. My doctor switched me to glipizide/glimepiride which works with my body effectively even after 1 year use along with metformin combination."


"My depression is worse. I can't sleep at night. I'm having nightmares. I'm off my food and my agitation is bad. I'm getting headaches."


"I have dealt with chronic constipation for years. This medication is the only thing that has helped me. Been taking it for about a year and it has helped so far."


"I have the equivalent of Sciatica, in my arm. Cannot move it without severe pain, (typing now with one hand!)  I have had Sciatica in my leg also, but was able to do stretches to relieve the pain. Cannot find stretches for my arm that work...so on to the Doctor.  She gave me a shot of Toradol 15mg/4units...knocked it right out! but a day and half later it came back.  I'm taking steroids now, on the 2nd day of the med pack, and still miserable.... Wouldn't wish   This on my worst enemy!"


"I had a incident on 11/26/14, so that same morning 11/27 I went and got a Plan B, that same day symptoms kicked in hard headache, Severe nausea and cramps and its still going on because today I started bleeding 12/5 and my period always come at the end of the month. I guess this is just confirmation that the pill work and I will still get my period around the end of December."


"Have for 7 yrs now. No issues. Best decision since my husband  did not want to get himself  fixed."


"I have been on saxenda 3 weeks and lost 6lb first day nausea come the burping vomited exhausted...am OK now no appetite a little constipated"


"I've been on this pill for about 6 months and the first 3 or 4 months I was using the 28 day pack. A couple months ago my pharmacy switched me to the 21 day pack and ever since I have been getting my period on the second week of pills. This "period" lasts up until I start my next pill pack. I suppose I can be thankful that I'm not pregnant but if you're considering taking this pill to help regulate your cycle like I did, definitely do another brand."


"I absolutely love this product. it does take some time to fully work but the end results are amazing . if your skin does dry out try applying a small amount of moisturizer!! I really only do " spot treatments " with this product because if I do apply it to my whole face it dries it out so much"


"Not bad."


"Before the Lutera I was on Yaz for two years and it put me in the hospital with high blood pressure. My aunt had been on Lutera for years and she has had no problems so I started to take it. Doing so much better now that I have been on Lutera for about three years now. When I started I had a few side effects, a little moody, urinary tract infections and yeast infections but nothing I could not handle. Just started taking cranberry pill and a probiotic everyday made a big difference."


"Worked immediately for me within hours of taking it. Such a relief! Thankfully my insurance covers it. I am taking the 59 mg extended release if that is any different. I have had virtually no side effects and I am even on blood pressure medicine and had kidney failure once!"


"I have been on Xarelto for 8 months after a PE experience due to thrombin 3 deficiency.  My only issue is heavier that normal bruising - I am very active."


"Taking pregablin for restless legs is great and works for me ....but I do have to keep a check on my weight because it cause weight gain"


"So I had been on 75mg in the past for about a year and hadn't faised me to stop taking, anyway years later I found myself extremely depressed to the point I had thought all past experiences of being depressed were nothing in comparison. I went on 75mg to begin with, then 150mg which worked great for me until i too wanted to stop taking after a while because I felt I was at a different point in my life, just missing one day of this drug gives you hell I had bad head aches and a zapping feeling like a wasn't completely sane. So after much research and deciding to tackle this a different way, I have been taking 150mg every second day and 75mg ever other Opposite Day, I've had barely any side effects, I can't wait to finally be effexor free!!"


"Just started and have chills, no symptoms have subsided. I am surprised at all the people here who list what the manufacturer states as 'serious' side effects! Inform your doctor straightaway if any of the following rare but very serious side effects occur:

New signs of infection (e.g. fever or persistent sore throat)

Easy bruising or bleeding

Mental or mood changes

Persistent or severe headaches

Vision changes

Generic Macrobid (Nitrofurantoin) may turn your urine dark yellow to brown in color. This is a harmless side effect that will disappear as soon as you stop taking the medication.

In rare cases, Generic Macrobid (Nitrofurantoin) may cause very serious lung problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any of the following"


"After 11 years, one pill this morning. Just ate lunch, no diarrhea yet. Maybe I can start living again."


"I have aspergers and ADD and started taking strattera when I was about 9 or 10. And in just two months I lost over 20 kg (44 pounds) I was so skinny but I didn't change because I had tried everything else and this was the smallest side effects I had so far. But after I quit just over a month ago (I'm 17 now) I realized that the medication had caused me to have severe depression for all my childhood, I'm really happy for the first time in forever. and the medication had made me more angry and restless than when not taking them."


"First time I have seen my cheeks in years!   Prescribed by my regular doctor, and unfortunately not covered by insurance this ran me about $150 for the tube, but if you are like me - I spent many more dollars trying everything else. This is working, so it has been worth every penny!   In 1 week I thought I was imagining things because the doc said to give it several weeks to make a difference.  In 2 weeks, there was no denying a difference.  I am at 3 weeks now, and I can hardly make out where my melasma once was, and had been there for almost 3 years.   This has been a miracle for me, and I hope this review will steer someone to have a similar experience as I have had.   Best of luck to you!"


"I highly recommend this BC. Not only is it a super convenient option for those of us that can't seem to take a pill at the same time every day, it has also helped regulate my cycle. Pills make me nauseous. I don't like needles so depo is not gonna happen. I tried an IUD and loved it for the fact that I only got a period every 3 mo and it was super light, but it shifted somehow and I had a bad experience in the removal process. I got my THIRD Nexplanon implant yesterday and swear by them. Stopped after my first to have another child and have been doing well for the 6 years. No crazy bleeding patterns, helped monumentally with my moodiness and cramping. This thing is the best. Totally worth the fact that my arm hurts for a day after insertion."


"Personally I liked the nexplanon when I first got it, well until I had sex. After a month of having the implant I had sex for the first time since having it implanted then the next day I had a period and stayed on for almost a month and a half. After that I went to my doctor and my iron and vitamin D was very low so I had to take pills for that as well. I stopped having a period heavy period for about 2 months. After each time I had sex I started my period tho which is still annoying. I've had it since 10-2016 and its a good birth control but only because I haven't gotten pregnant but otherwise I wouldn't recommend. My breast hurt so bad all the time. My skin has broken out . I've gained 30  pounds and I'm always angry. I get heat flashes!"


"They are great for headaches which is why I am prescribed them,  and I also take mine for menstrual cramps and they work wonders"


"I was addicted to oxys in Anchorage for 3 years, buying them off the street.  I dropped out of college, lost several jobs, and hurt every person I cared for just to get high.  I moved away hoping to get away from the drugs, and just ended up at a methadone clinic for another 3 years.  I finally made the choice to start suboxone, it's only been a week but I feel a hundred times better."


"This is by far the worst birth control I have ever used. I'm not normally a moody person but nuvaring has effected my mood like no other. I either feel extremely happy, angry, or sad. There is no in between. These mood swings have caused several fights with my boyfriend. I finally had to take it out because I couldn't take it anymore. A day later, I finally felt like myself again. I would never recommend this to anybody. It's terrible."


"Great response & no problems! In a 3x lung ca. Pt."


"I'm 19 and this is my first birth control pill and it has worked great!!! I've been on it for a little more than 4 months.

Pros:

• no pregnancies

• didn't change my (mostly) clear skin

• no missed periods

• cramps are less painful

• no side effects after first month

• no change in sex drive (if anything it increased lmao)

Cons:

• on the FIRST MONTH I had nausea, decreased appetite, random cramps, increased anxiety (and I already have anxiety disorders)

• period flow is still the same

• period still lasts 4-5 days

• random bloating (I don't mind it tbh)

• my belly is a bit bigger ¿?"


"Had unprotected sex, 18 yrs old, took the pill the third day, little nauseous- waiting for my period, but this pill works wonders :)"


"Does Vimpat seem to make anyone very,very forgetful ?  I tend to explode verbally occasionally, in a negative way, and totally depressed. Sound any bit familiar?
I'm on other meds but just seeing if anyone possibly noticed this from Vimpat.
    One other thing.  I was working a lot of overtime both day and night and confused the amount of meds I was taking although I had them separated. Not good.
Had terrible accident, was told the car rolled over 6 or 7 times.  Thank god didn't involve any other cars or persons. Just drove off road.
PLEASE take your meds as told to do so.
Spine operation went well.
GOD BLESS YOU , seat belt and air bags!!!"


"I started taking Contrave Jan 2016.  I lost about 10lbs within 3 months.  I've been on/off it several times over the last 1.5 years.  It seems to work in the beginning (1st month) but then your body becomes adjusted to it.  10lbs is not worth the side effects and heart risks.  I've heard this crazy stories of folks losing upwards of 35lbs in 3 months.  Definitely didn't work that well for me.  Save your money and try eating less and exercising more."


"Okay Ladies! DO NOT GET THIS SHOT! I was 15 when i first got the shot. I was on it for a yr. And now i have been trying to conceive for 9 years and NO LUCK i am now 25 years old and still i have 0 period! I want to have a baby so badly and i cannot due to the fact i jacked up my hormones with this shot. But it IS very effective at preventing pregnancy. But if you plan on having children DONT GET THIS SHOT!!!"


"I got the skyla in July. I had never experienced period cramps or anything before so...the pain I felt after insertion was almost unbareable. I had to lay down in the exam room for half an hour after before I was able to walk out.

I had false labor pains for a good two days after, super heavy periods and bad cramping for a few months.

I do believe my periods are stopping altogether now. I had to have my string trimmed and tucked up inside my cervix due to it being felt too much during intercourse. Had my checkup this month and all is good!

No issues here. I love having skyla!"


"My allergies were so bad here in Atlanta (spring 2010) that I had to see a pulmonary doctor for bronchial allergic asthma. It was like bronchitis but no phlegm, just a horrible heavy congestion feeling (which was really swollen, inflamed, bronchial passages) from the pollen.  The doctor put me on Singulair, Alvesco Inhaler, and then an ENT put me on Astepro.  In my opinion, the Singulair and the Astepro have been the key medications to feeling better and being able to live through these horrible pollen months."


"I've been on Levemir for approximately 2 years and have found it be quite effective.  However, I've also noticed that over time the dosage has had to steadily increase in order to achieve optimum blood glucose levels."


"Started Contrave 12/3/16. I have actually gained 4 pounds (today is 2/17/17)
Side effects: nausea, dizziness, CRAZY DREAMS, fatigue.
But I still take them. 2 every morning. Hoping for one day it will turn around and start working for me."


"I've been on a few birth control pills before but none of them ever made me feel like this pill. I've only been on it for 2 weeks and already have breakthrough bleeding! Nauseated everyday since starting this pill, dizzy/motion sickness, light sensitive, and I get angry really fast. Not to mention I have really bad cramps with this break through bleeding. I got put on this pill to help with pms but I am definitely switching. Do not recommend at all."


"My blood pressure (BP) was 160/102 at the doctors office. I have been on 10 mg lisinopril for almost 2 weeks now. BP is very normal, sometimes even on the low end. I might consider asking the doctor about 5 mg.  I don't like being on medication. Lisinopril was about $11 for the perscription. I was previously on Cozaar, which also worked well, but cost $52."


"I got this prescribed for frequent panic attacks and anxiety. All this medicine did for me was create a much bigger sense of anxiety. I should have know the first time I took this to never take it again, but I knew I needed to try it out for longer in hopes it would work. Immediately after I would take this my anxiety would worsen and after it settled I would experience uncontrollable panic attacks lasting over 2 hours. I do not recommend if you are incapable of waiting over a month with this being a possible side effect when taking it."


"I was on the depo provera shot for 2 years. Absolutely hated it. The two years that I was on it. I had rapid weight gain and gained 30lbs in two years. My mood swings were awful and became much more depressed. Also caused my anxiety to become worse. Wouldn't recommend this birth control to anybody."


"Hello, I'm a 36 yr old male suffering from chronic cluster headaches since the age of 19. For the first 15 years I would get 1-2 attacks daily with a week being the longest without an attack. I tried everything from nerve block injections to pain meds with nothing being effective and doctors thinking I only suffered from migraines or just wanted pain meds when all I ever wanted was any kind of relief. A few years ago they started getting worse and the attacks increased to 4, 5 even up to 7 a day. Imigran 6 mg shots helped when I got one at work but who can take that many shots a day or live in that kind of pain. I finally read about verapamil online and tried 240mg a day first and it completely changed my life. Unfortunately they have now returned"


"Norco is by far the only pain medicine I have tried and that actually worked for my back, neck and leg pain. For me there are no side effects, it just works. I suffered from depression due to the wide spread pain in my body but the Norco also has helped with that. I've taken it for 4 years and have had times off of the medication and it's tough but only because the pain returns and I become sleep deprived. It really is a miracle."


"I am on prozac without any major side effects for 2 weeks now. First week  i took 20mg and was still binging and trowing up on occasion and all i was thinking about was food and my body image. i was very anxious and depressed. After the first week, my doc increased the dose to 60mg. after 2 weeks i started feeling  the change. i am not obsessed about the food so much anymore. it gives me a big hope that i can be free from this eating disorder for good. suddenly, my mood is much better and i am positive about my future. i even want to go out and enjoy myself a little.  so far 9/10."


"I started to swell up, then I was not able to urinate for many hours at a time.  The fluids kept building up in my legs and in my torso, and hands/arms.  Finally, I and my wife said enough when I could not swallow and my face swelled up.  Allergy medications helped me breath and reduced the swelling in my throat and face.  I am now into my first month of still having fluids in my lungs and legs.  Doctors are now trying to reduce the excess fluids with more blood pressure meds and lasix.  Now just pockets of fluids in my lungs but the shortness of breath is still lingering.  I would not recommend this medication for anyone who needs a diuretic as blood pressure medication, please do not allow your doctor to prescribe this for you."


"I have been on every medicine for bipolar/depression, anxiety you can name. I was on Effexeor for 7 years it worked for the first 2 years but lost it's effect, but the doctors had to keep me on it due to the fact very time they tired to ween me off, I'd experienced terrible withdrawals. I've finally been able to get off of Effexor, this time with little to no withdrawal effects. The doctor put me on Viibryd and I was very doubtful, but I'm happy to say that after only using for a week, I feel better than I ever have! None of the other medicines made me feel this good, including when the Effexor was working. I'm no longer irritable, and my sexual drive is slowly coming back. Thanks to the maker's of Viibryd."


"I have been in pain for so very long that I thought there was no way anything could help.  My latest painful foray was when I pulled a muscle in my shoulder.  I used Voltaren the first time and it took almost all the pain away. The second time I used it, I was pain free.  I was thrilled."


"The first month was ok,  but this is my second month of use, and I started bleeding (moderately) in the second week of the pill pack! No fair! I should be into the "no bleeding zone" right now! I am less than thrilled. I feel gross, bloated, and have cramping and  low back pain. I am only on the pill to keep regular, to avoid anemia, but this month it's doing just the opposite! I don't know if I should stay on it and give it more time, or go to something else. Ugh!"


"Seems diarrhea is main culprit with this med. Been taking it 20 months so far, as far as control of diabetes does not seem to have much affect on blood sugar"


"It does absolutely nothing.  I used the HFA and it was more effective.  The new one it is just fancy, too expensive and it does not work."


"In Jan and now was prescribed this rubbish, twice no results and end up getting real amoxicillin. Both times I got this one I felt like my symptoms worsened two fold after 4 days on this. My diagnosis, Pansinusitus . I've never heard of this before, apparently it's the mother load of sinusitis involving infection in all 4 sinus. I had no fever, no nasal congestion, just severe fog and major headache and really large swollen glands under my Jaw, ears and neck all around. I'm so delirious I thought Sherlock was a made up word and laughed hysterically when someone mentioned it. Needless to say, this antibiotics doesn't do anything!"


"this medication made me get rosacea after an all nighter and made me feel like vomiting every time I had to take it with 500 calories. it made me too crazy and there's still the lingering effect and no one thought I was crazy before that or knew and then it was obvious and still is. I never used to get crazy laughing before I don't think but I don't know if it's also because I was in a mental hospital with tons of crazy people and picked up their behaviour. my looks got completely ruined by this medication forever. I'm on 12 mgs of invega and 300 mgs of lamictal right now and I'm doing much better but I think I should be on 400 mgs of lamictal."


"I've had Implanon now, for almost 5 years. I have gotten it changed out at my 3 year mark.
The insertion process is similar to an IV getting put in. The second time, piece of cake; a pinch. After the insertion, the first time, it was swollen and sore for 2 weeks, but thats normal, your body needs to get used to it.  Second time, it healed in a week. It was inserted in the exact same spot one was taken out from.
Since being on this, the first year, periods were sporadic but normal, then they waned off; the last few months before I changed my implant, I had light spotting for a few days and then after I changed it no periods at all. I have had no pregnancies, mood swings or weight gain. No hormonal changes via sex drive or breakouts. I love it."


"I have been on Lexapro for about 10 days. I noticed it working after about 3 days. My anxiety has completely dissipated. I have had severe social anxiety since I was a very young child, to the point that I just didn't speak most of the time. I battled with it for over 30 years on my own, thinking this was just the way I was. Finally, a new job and career caused my anxiety to sky rocket, rendering me unable to do my job properly. Since starting Lexapro I am now more free and less self conscious. I am talking to people comfortably and enjoying socializing a lot more. I don't snap at the children and don't sweat the small stuff. I haven't gained any weight (or lost any) and I just feel more like myself. The only downside: tired all the time."


"Hypercare is AMAZING! I have had an excessive sweating problem since high school. I always wear tank tops(never long sleeved or regular t-shirts). But if I have**** to, I will wear a black shirt. I swear constantly. Just the other day I was sitting in an orientation for work and the AC was broken and it was over 100 degrees in the room. I was sitting in a business suit and didn't even want to take my jacket off because I knew what was going on underneath. I had a waterfall of water falling from my arm pits onto my shirt. Huge armpit wet spots. So I sat there and suffered lol. Not anymore!!! This stuff really works. It definitely stings if you put it on the same day that you shaved, and it itches. But I don't even care! I'm in love with this"


"After 20 years of seeing psychiatrists, I was finally correctly diagnosed with ADD. My life completely normalized soon after starting this drug. I took every antidepressant known to man with no results. If you change jobs, friends, wives, more often than your motor oil, ADD may be your issue too. I have suffered with this for 49 years now I feel like what I assumed normal people feel like. I thank my lucky stars every day for this wonder drug. Only reason I rated a 9  was because of the dry mouth it gives me, but a small price to pay for the benefits received."


"I love this stuff.  Ended my reflux and perpetual sore throat.  I was thankful for how quickly it worked.  Now to the packaging!  These pills are nearly inaccessible in the packaging they come in. I use a scissor to open the pockets where the pills are incased and then store the pills in a small bottle."


"I ran a 102 fever for two days with body aches, chills that turned into profuse sweating. I was very lethargic and didn't even feel like going to urgent care. My husband took me anyways, diagnosed with the flu, and given tamiflu. I've had three doses with absolutely no side effects and my fever has remained at 100.5 all day. I'm still very weak and tired but no pill is gonna make 100 in one day. I'm thankful for it."


"I had nexplanon for a little over a year and at first I was in love with it. It was one less thing to worry about, especially since I was starting my freshman year of college and was in a serious relationship. After a few months I noticed my periods became irregular. I would have them for 18  days and then not have another one for 2-3 months. I also gained about 20lbs on this pill. I partially blame being away from school and drinking more than I did usually. But I was still very active and would exercise every day for at least 1.5-2 hours. Once summer came around I was still excercising and eating well, and I stopped drinking completely but I was still gaining weight so I chose to stop it and in the weeks after I began losing weight"


"My doctor prescribed Apri to me as birth control and to make my periods more regular and less painful. Well, I'm still not pregnant, and my periods are completely predictable and manageable. Before I started this medication my periods were sometimes debilitating. In addition to being less painful, my periods last for fewer days now that I take Apri. There are so many horror stories about birth control pills, but I'm proof that they do work for some people."


"I started last month I was wearing 215.. I'm now down too 206.. Could have lost more but I did miss 2 weeks. So that messed me up.. But I'm excited and about too really hit the gym too see how much more I can loss.. Soo 2 more month... They really do work. I feel better.. Just dry mouth that's it."


"My son was first given Amoxicillin 400mg/5ML SUSP for his strep throat, but that was not effective in treating his bacteria. He continued to have a high fever so Dr.'s perscribed Augmentin ES-600 SUSP. My son who is 11 years old would LOVE to go back to the Amoxicillin. The taste of the Augmentin is "like swallowing chalk" as my son describes. It also seems to be affecting his taste buds. Everything tastes terrible this week. He is only on day 4 of a 10 day supply, twice a day."


"Started April 5th.took around 8am and by 10:30 I had to stop work because extremely dizzy, nausea and wow so tired. Didn't take again for 2 days then tried again, this time I now take at 3am, go back to sleep so I sleep thru side effects.  3 days of doing this and so far so good..I do need an extra coffee thru day tho to keep awake. Have lost 2 lbs in week. Kind of scared going to 2 pills, may wait another week."


"I have been battling constipation for a week now and had finally given in and bought dulcolax laxative tablets  (Worst mistake ever). I took one tablet a 9 pm, woke up in a cold sweat at 2 am and experienced stomach cramps (with the urge to go but couldn't) and horrendous vomiting. Finally settled back in to bed around 3:30 am I am now up again 8am back in the bathroom with the worst case of diarrhea and stomach cramps. Product is somewhat effective but plan to take it on a Friday night with no other weekend plans!"


"I have taken Yasmin for 4 months. 1st month had increased acne, headaches, nausea, tender breasts and slight irritability. Half way through 2nd month skin started to improve and side effects stopped. My period came on 2nd day of taking white placebo pill. Usually the week before my period I have painful cramps and have to take pain killers, this time there was no bloating or cramps and pain. On the 3rd month and my skin is starting to heal and look a lot clearer, periods are normal and pain free.  Only mild discomfit half an hour before my period starts. Yasmin will make your skin breakout when you first start taking it, but it will start to improve. After I wash my makeup off I can't believe how clear my skin is."


"Paxil changed my life.  It's a miracle.  The only bad things about Paxil I've experienced (in 13 years of taking it) is sexual side-effects (libido loss), and severe withdrawal symptoms when I stopped taking it 'cold turkey'."


"This is the first drug I was prescribed after hospitalization and initial diagnosis.  It made it possible to get off steroids and back to work.  Hair loss was extensive, until I increased water intake and saw a renal dietician.  Even though I am allergic to Sulfa drugs, this has been the least risky of the medications prescribed for my condition.  My hair has grown back in, and with lifestyle changes I am much better.  Long term, this is the only regimen that works for me."


"I was prescribed this after a severe TBI and broken neck, it was suppose to help my headaches. After about a week it turned me into a rapid cycling bipolar suicidal freak, one second driving singing happy, next second I was trying to swerve in front of a semi."


"I have been taking Effexor for 4 weeks.  The side effects have been miserable.  I have tried taking it in the morning, and at night but  I'm always tired and dizzy.  Sometimes I even feel like a zombie.  I must say, the only good thing about Effexor (for me) is it has decreased my anxiety, unless I skip a day ... then watch out and get out of my way. The comments regarding withdrawal scare me.  Please tell me this gets better. "


"I am 23 years old and I have been taking Paxil since I was 11. It has worked extremely well for me over the years and I have had little to no problems with my OCD. When I was 17 I tried to go off the medication (with the help of my doctor) and it was extremely hard. I became really depressed and had horrible headaches and nausea. I decided to go back on the medication because it wasn't the right time in my life to deal with so much stress. FYI, if I skip/ forget a pill I get really bad nausea and I tend to bruise and scar very easily. If you are looking for something to treat your OCD this might be the medicine for you."


"I took crestor for about two years with minor side effects. Since I turned 65, I noticed my leg muscles ( hamstrings, Knees) were hurting. I stopped taking Crestor and my legs feel better. The drug did help lower my cholesterol  but my legs were killing me and I had trouble walking due the stiffness and pain. While I am not 100% certain my leg pain was due to Crestor, it certainly looks that way.It has only been 6 days since I stopped."


"Hi , I think picked up Hep C during employment in Saudi or during dental treatment during one of my home visits to Minding.  Tried Interferon treatment but lasted 3 months due to severe Side Effects.  Now on start of 3 week with Harvoni treatment.  Side effects fatigue, headache,  occasional loose bowel and now aches and pains to various parts of body. Feels similar to time I had the Hong Kong Flu during military service. To date so much improved on prior treatment.  Support excellent from Raigmore Hospital specialist nurses and local village Pharmacy here in Ardersier,  Scotland.  Lovely costal village outside Inverness."


"I was taking YAZ before for over a year. I stopped to try Seasonique. I loved getting my period every three months. But I had unbearable cramps and a cyst that would not shrink in size that was awful! My doctor wanted me to try Ortho Tri cyclen, which I hated before, but I tried it for 2 months. I just stated a new pack of YAZ after seeing my doctor. I never had a decrease in my sex drive or weight gain before. I was very comfortable with it."


"Took Dilantin for several years, since the 1980's. Now it's apparent I have a secondary disability of Osteoporosis after seeing a endocrinologist and having a bone density test done. My doctor says it is likely due to the regular use of epileptic medicines with Dilantin being the most  likely source."


"My wife came down with a bad case of bronchitis New Years Eve day. I took her to urgent care that evening. She did not drink that night and started taking the azithromycin
the following morning. 2 hours later she got bad stomach cramps along with vomiting and diarrhea. We stopped the medication. We think it may have had something to do with her long time health condition of diverticulitis. This might be something you may want to mention if you have this condition before taking it."


Osteolytic Bone Metastases of Solid Tumors

"Severe head pain, loss or appetite, lower back and spinal pain."


"I am a 38 year old male. I have been deployed to Iraq 3 times and have very bad post traumatic stress disorder and could not sleep due to very bad dreams so my DR put me on 50mg Seroquel taken once at bed time and I sleep very well, in fact without it I do not sleep. I still have bad dreams (well that's what I am told) but I do not remember them and sleep right through them. I would recommend Seroquel to anyone who might be having the same problem that I was."


"This medicine saved my life. I lost all my family between 18-21 years old other than one brother. I'm about to be 34 and needless to say, it has saved me from waking up daily, soaked in sweat, panicking and depression. Those doctors that won't prescribe it and my opioids to me and now I am going through cold turkey right.  They don't realize how bad this impacts a person's life. I'm probably gonna lose my job because of opioid withdrawal for two weeks. Ten years use of oxycodone prn 4 a day ten mg from a drunk driver hitting me. I'm lucky to have my foot. Fifteen pieces of hardware later, I'm still here. Clonazepam and all drugs need to be legalized. These new laws the government makes up. "We The People" are supposed to be in control  this has really mucked up my life and other's lives.
"


"I started the implant in May 2015, and it is one of the best choices I have ever made. I understand that it is different for everyone however my experience has been great. It has stopped all period pains and for the past 2 months has completely stopped any bleeding. I had no side effects such as headaches or irregular periods. Getting it injected isn't too painful and the bruising doesn't  last long. I would recommend it to anyone and it also means that you don't have to remember to take the pill or use condoms. Its great for some people so don't get too worried and just see if it works for you. If it does not, it can be taken out immediately."


"Have tried Motrin, Aleve, Tylenol for back pain and nothing works as well. Take it with food and take a brand that is coated and even the few side effects are lessened.  It's still the safest and most effective in my personal view."


"Recommended by a doctor who knows I don't like to take medication,  I went to him with a bad cold ,stuffed nose , and sore throat. Took 2 pills at about noon and symptoms cleared up  amazingly quickly .  Took 2 about 11:30 at night , went to bed  and now it's almost 2 AM and I'm still wide awake.   I wish the doctor had warned me, and there definitely should have been a warning on the box....when one is sick one should be able to rest and this is the opposite, and I have a full workday tomorrow and should be at work by 9.    I found this site trying to figure out why I am so wide awake"


"Works very well at controlling my asthma. I've been on this medication well over 10 years. I currently take the generic version. I don't notice any difference except in price, it's much cheaper! I'm very happy with how well This medication has performed."


"I started taking half pill for the first 7 days. I only lasted 3 days and had to remove myself from it. The first day I took the pill in the morning and felt fine other then being wide awake. That night I was restless and could not sleep. The next day I spent the entire day feeling like I was buzzing around. Like I had chugged a energy drink that never wore off. That night I again couldn't sleep but when I did catch an hours worth I had crazy dreams. Doctor pulled me off the drug the next day. I made it through the night thanks to Ativan that night. The search continues for the right prescription. But after those side effects, I seriously contemplate just dealing with my issues without medicine. Anxiety is a pain, but tolerable."


"I was on this pill for about 7 or 8 months and I did not have a good experience at all. This was my first time on birth control so I wasn't really sure what to expect. The first few months were fine, I noticed I was a little high strung but thought it was due to other things going on. Once life had mellowed out a bit, I was still having these terrible mood swings. I only had high highs or low lows, with no in between. I'd snap at my husband constantly and I was extremely depressed. I had frequent headaches and I gained 15 pounds when I had never had any major weight changes before that. I stopped the pill about two months ago and have noticed my mood swings have stopped and I feel much better. Only plus was that I didn't get pregnant."


"I'm a 55 year old female from CT, i started this July 1st 2016. Weighing 297 pounds. Today is July 12th, I weighed in at 284.  I feel great! I have more energy, eat less and overall my attitude is changing  for the positive. The boost I needed. I actually have less aches and pains. I must say, I never thought I'd forget to eat! I do get a little light headed if I don't eat. I have a salad or something light and move on. Oh, and drink lots of water!!!! One happy woman who thought id never play with my grandkids the way I wanted!"


"I was taking this pill constantly to stop my periods because I have endometriosis, it did the job, but I did notice I gained quite a bit of weight from it.  When I stopped taking it, I noticed a month later that I had actually lost weight.  Other than that not really any side effects."


"Been on citalopram for 2 years, to those of you just starting keep going it takes about 1 month and all the side affects go away. Try taking it after food (my doctor suggested this to start with) in the beginning it does limit the sickness feeling. The positive affects are great I feel a different person, my wife thinks I am a different person !!!

So stick with it its only a few weeks of feeling rotten but the plus so out ways the cons"


"I'm a 22 year old healthy female and I've been on depo for a little over a year and it has been horrible. I can deal with the weight gain but they told me the bleeding would most likely stop after a year of use or after my body got used to depo but I'm still having non-stop bleeding and have also been having nausea and heart palpitations along with numerous other side effects. Needless to say I will not be receiving another shot. This is ridiculous and also a little scary. I would never wish this on anyone. Maybe it's okay for some people but it's obviously not for everyone."


"My 75 yr. old dad started this medicine a little over a week ago and I can already tell a difference. He is in the moderate stages of Alzheimer's and has not been able to talk more than a few words without forgetting what he's saying for well over a year now. He started taking 4 mg. twice a day and he is actually able to tell me about his day without forgetting a word! His overall mood is improved also. I know it won't last forever but I am very happy with the results of this medicine so far. I have a little glimpse of my dad back and he's had no side effects. Very happy with this medicine!"
