"I have had the mirena for 18 months now. I am getting it removed on Friday. The 2 major reasons is weight gain (10 lbs) that is a lot for me as I am a personal trainer and it has killed my sex drive! I have always had a higher than average libido and for the past year it is gone. Not worth it to me. I would rather have my painful periods back!!!"


"I usually do the seven day dosage with no issues, so I figured why not try the three day sounds better.

I don't think I have ever been so wrong. The box should have been labeled egg of doom, after putting this thing in nothing really happened then soon as I woke up it was there was fire coming from my vag. I was reconsidering whether this was even a yeast infection with how much pain I was in. Days later still regretting it with no change in itching or burning. Tried oatmeal bath, anti itch wipes and I think it's honestly just making it worse. Don't buy this go get diflucan instead of torturing your lady parts "


"Hi everyone. I am recently a new user of zoloft. I am in the process of weaning off the current antidepressant pristiq, which I feel has been not helping me...so my therapist recommended zoloft. She had me start by weaning off pristiq by taking my full dosage and half dosage of zoloft and by week 4 I'll be completely off pristiq and on zoloft. I'm curious how everyone feels about zolof...their side affects, improvements etc. I suffer from anxiety attacks and slight depression."


"Had complications from rectal surgery resulting in 3 surgeries in as many weeks.  Very painful.  This med helped inflammation, which was good, but was light on the pain relief -- and kept me awake at night."


"I've had auditory hallucinations all my life.  Was on Geodon previously and had to keep upping the dose to keep the hallucinations and voices at bay.  With Invega, I'm on the lowest dose and have an auditory hallucination maybe once or twice a month. Despite the risk of side effects, this is a wonder drug for me. I've had no side effects."


"After 25 years of suffering with migraines I've finally found something that works, bearing in mind I'm only 27. Although when my dose is increased I have really bad gastroenteritis and my taste has completely changed not to mention my weight loss, this is a really powerful drug. I believe it is working for me.

Ok, I am now updating my review...I am now 37 years old and I still take the Topamax daily, 25 mg in the morning and 50 mg at night. It works for me really well. Maybe 1 migraine a month and it is very manageable with Relpax. I still get a little bit of tingling in my hands and feet, and my weight has stabilized. I love Topamax. The only complaint I have is the price."


"My neurologist gave me a sample of this spray during my last office visit.  We're going the non-Triptan route trying to manage my migraines since I previously had a reaction to Triptans.  This spray did nothing for my latest migraine at all. In it's defense my migraines are pretty severe and even hard core narcotics aren't much of a match for them.  The search continues."


"Im 20 yr old and have been on birth control for 2 yr now ive tried every pill and even the implant each of them have cause horrid pains and bleeding, i havent got pregnant but experience  bad moods and weight gain, nodoctor can seem to help its very frustrating that each  doctors visit ive only been  prescribed  a higher dosage  of the pill (now yaz) i feel like the only person who is experiencing  this and if the doctors cant help what the heck am i supposed  to do"


"I was switched from Azurette to Viorele by my pharmacy. Took Viorele for almost 3 months because I got 3 packs at a time. It gave me frequent headaches that I didn't experience on the azurette even though they are supposed to be the same. The biggest issue is I thought I had a UTI because it made me have to pee ALL the time. I had no other changes in my life except the pill so after going to the doctor and getting checked for UTI and it being negative I have switched back. My boobs were always sore but it made them look bigger so I didn't mind too much. If you have already big boobs though this might be a problem. Skin looks great on both pills. Period is light but cramps can be horrible sometimes."


"While I'm finding it to be quite effective, since I started taking the medication I've had frequent bouts of severe stomach pain and cramping. The pain is so sharp at times that I begin to sweat and can feel my heart racing."


"I would NEVER use this! Going into my 4th year I started having pains in my pelvic area that lasted 30mins-6hrs. It would wake me up, at the time I had these intense pains I would bleed then it would just stop. Went to OB and got a pelvic ultrasounds, I had tremendous blood clots in my uterus that wouldn't pass. The shot stopped working and stored my monthly flow on my uterus the dr said seemed like it stopped working for at least a year. Had to get cervical dilation to see if it'll come out, it didn't so a couple days later I got a D&C. It's been 3 weeks since and I'm having heavy bleeding. Which I think is only because my hormones are off! Do NOT get on this shot!!! Hopefully I can get something to regulate this!"


"I got the nexplanon inserted march 1st 2016 and i have made an appointment for it to be removed....the only good thing from it is only spotting for a few days a month and it does its job to prevent pregnancy but i can pretty much cry on command now...i get mad over the tiniest things that wouldn't have mattered before i got this...and also ive gained atleast 20 pounds without a single change in my diet..definitely wouldn't recommend!"


"My wife had been on Clonazepam for five years or so for her anxiety. She is a very vital, thin 50, but her libido had disappeared and she had delayed orgasm. She also had recurring upper respiratory infections and a cough she couldn't get rid of. I researched and found that one was a common side effect (the sexual aspect) and one rare (the cough). I had her go to her doctor and ask to get on Viibryd. She has had only minor side effects, but none of the gastrointestinal issues. Within three weeks the cough has almost disappeared, and last night she had multiple orgasm for the first time in 22 years since I've known her. Oh yeah, and the anxiety seems to be less. Needless to say, we're big Viibryd fans already."


"I was sober for three years and it was great.  During that time I got my bachelors degree, was promoted in the military, and lost 50 pounds.  Then out of nowhere I relapsed.  I kept drinking for about 11 months and realized I was spiralling out of control again.  Gaining weight, lost motivation, decreased work efficiency, staying in bed all day.  I went to my doctor and told him I wanted to quit and he prescribed me 25mg librium for four days.  First day 2 pills every six hours, second day 1 pill every six hours, third day 1 pill every 12 hours, last day 1 pill before bedtime.  I can't say these made me feel much better, maybe slightly, but what they did help me do was sleep AMEN...that is always the worst!  I've been sober for a week again!"


"My doctor said I had the worst case of Rosacea he had ever seen. He prescribed a couple of topicals and this medicine. This pill really worked for me. If I have a flare up, I take a couple and it goes away."


"I have found that this helps not only control the epilepsy but also lowers the amount of depression I tend to feel from the other medications I am taking."


"I have been taking Nature-throid for more than a year now and find it simply outstanding.  I have had no allergic reaction, that I am aware of, as I had with Armour brand and synthetic thyroid (a rash).  My blood test results have been quite stable.  I have been able to stay on the same dose, 32.5MG, and now enjoy the peace of mind of simply taking the pill (which I crush with my teeth and allow to dissolve sublingually) and get on with my life.  I should note that over the past several years I have made significant changes such as eliminating dairy, egg, and gluten from my diet, which I feel has greatly complemented any pharmaceutical benefit.  An outstanding medication, Nature-throid has helped me restore vitality to my life."


"Severe runner's knee. Very effective drug, works well enough to take the edge off. Still can feel pain but very manageable"


"It's the only injection that truly helps my son be able to function  as a rambunctious teenager without pain in all his joints. He's had up to 17 injections done at one time for his Poly-particular Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis with a short recovery time and pain relief for 3-4 months. I highly recommend asking about getting this injection instead of a short lived Cortisone injection."


"My daughter was born with urinary reflux, the result of which is usually 1-2 urinary tract infections a year.  Suprax ALWAYS knocks it out right away. We have tried many of the others.  Some took longer and some didn't work at all.  Only con is it is hard to get and you may have to order it at the pharmacy."


"I just started using Drysol last night for the first time and I love it! It did sting and was a little itchy at first but its so worth it. I'm always wearing black or white shirts and now I could wear all my colored ones without worrying."


"My GP prescribed this drug to me to help me sleep as I have Borderline personality disorder and OCD.
I was to take 1 tablet a couple hours before bedtime; I done just that.

Within an hour, I started to feel slightly paralyzed and severely slow like a sloth. By two hours I wasn't able to properly hold a sentence without slurring. I went to bed and felt like I fell asleep instantly.

The next morning on the School run I was completely unable to get up. My child stayed home and watched tv next to me whilst I slept until 12pm. I awoke feeling severely slow and like I had severe depression. The effects lasted until the next morning.

Anyhow I took half a tablet a week later and the same effects were there but not as severe.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL."


"I had a headache for 2 weeks straight and couldn't figure out why so I finally broke down and went to the doctors yesterday! She prescribed me Ceftin and said I had a sinus infection. I took both pills yesterday and woke up today with no headache at all and feeling amazing. This pill really works so far!"


"Been on this birth control since I was 17. I'm 23 now. Never had any bad side effects. The reason I began taking it is I used to have unbearable cramps every month that would keep me in bed. If I started my period at school or work, I had to go home because it was so intense. I was recommended to try birth control pills because of it. I also have not gotten pregnant with my long term relationship boyfriend. Works great for me!"


"I've been taking it for 4 months now. After 4 months I can say that my body has adjusted pretty well to these meds. The first 3 months I suffered with very tender breasts, headaches, breakthrough bleeding, bloating, and nausea, but month 4 has been a breeze. I'm 28, had NEVER had a menstrual cycle, extra hair growth, abnormal hormone/thyroid levels. This has worked wonders for me. Just give your body 3 - 4 months to adjust to it! My cycles are regular and last 5 - 6 days now."


"I was extremely confused on this medication , it was awful, I am glad that my doctor diagnosed me properly, as I could easily have been mistaken for dementia"


"I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in November of 2015. So my doctor did a glucose test which was fasting for me and my number was 279 on a empty stomach. My A1c a day or so later I was at 13.2 my doctor has put me on janumet 50/500. I was at 203lbs before the diagnosis and now April 2016 I'm approximately 180 pounds. I was losing weight before the diagnosis due to diabetes but I guess now since I've been working out over a month and a half and my eating habits have changed I guess and with the medicine I've dropped more weight. I guess overall my blood sugars are a whole lot better than they were before. A few headaches here and there and nausea but not so much of that. The medicine is okay I just don't want to lose anymore weight."


"I have been taking this medication for 3 months now. After the first dose I felt like a million dollars, as my mood lifted I felt great, for the first time in 4 years since i started taking narcotics for chronic pain. I find this drug helps somewhat for pain, wish it would help a little more. Thats okay as I have my life back again and now I function a lot better, and have much clearer thinking then i did."


"I was prescribed dexilant for a possible ulcer which caused nausea. It may have helped the nausea a little but not much.  After taking it for a few months, I got severe diarrhea and cramping.  I was not able to leave my apartment or go to work - the diarrhea was uncontrollable.  I have never had diarrhea this bad before.  I realized it was probably dexilant causing the diarrhea and cramping today after searching on the Internet for side effects.  I doubt it is anything other than the dexilant.  Hopefully the diarrhea and cramping will subside fairly quickly."


"I had been treated in ER for migraine and received tordol and some other anti nausea meds and I did wonderfully, then 2 mo. Later I went to ER for migraine and they wanted to try something new, tordol and reglan....thought to myself the other treatment worked well, why change it, but ER doc insisted. Tordol in IV great, Reglan went in and I felt it burn up my arm, I became agitated and within 30 seconds said to my husband...I think I'm having a panic attack and then did! I am a medical professional and here I was yelling for the nurses because I thought I was going to die.  My poor husband!  It was a wild experience of feeling like I was passing out but I was lying down.  Felt like I was losing blood flow to my brain. Horrible experience!"


"Best out of many I tried. Helped the best with least side effects. Added Wellbutrin and combination is awesome. I'm a high functioning person. Abilify at night. All good. Been on over ten years, Abilify recently. "


"Did some, not enough, to relieve pain.  I have pain because I have a ureter stent and am receiving radiation treatments to the pelvis -- both irritate the bladder and urinary track.  I am searching for a similar drug to this.  There must be something similar to this drug that helps alleviate the pain."


"Update from 8/17 post. I have dropped a total of 27 pounds (started at 230). There is no doubt this medicine works well but keep in mind I am highly motivated and work out 4-5 times a week. Belviq works really well on sugar cravings. I think this product will be very good for alcoholics, although I am not a heavy drinker my craving and interest in alcohol have gone way down. So now it is maybe one glass of wine with dinner instead of two or three. I am paying $145 with discount but worth it."


"I have had no side effects since being on Apri, which I switched to from a similar kind that wasn't covered by insurance."


"DO NOT use differin. As a result of using this lotion I developed a horrible red rash on my neck and face. 2.5 months later I am still have to apply hydrocortisone cream twice a day to keep it at bay and can't use any nice foundation or makeup. I have read several other reviews where it has happened to people and spoken to other GP's who have said they wouldn't prescribe it.

IT IS NOT WORTH IT! Try anything else, but don't use this product."


"Have used as needed for anxiety.  7.5 mg 2-4 times a day.  Not habit forming nor no withdrawal problems if I stop taking. Does not make me drowsy."


"Started taking 7/15, I had terrible side effects, racing heart, dizziness, insomnia, speech and memory. When I told my doctor I was coming off it she basically told me to suck it up and push through the side effects.  She also recommend that I take one pill everyother day.  I am glad I listened to her, I am down 53 pounds.  This was all done on the 7.5 dose."


"I would not choose this drug again. SEVERE abd pain, i was in clinical on the 3 day of it and i barely could walk, it gets worse when i sat down. The pain is so bad i almost passed out. Do NOT recommend this to any one!!"


"I have suffered migraines for since I was 30 and I am now 51.  I use to lay in bed for days, and would end up in the hospital. I finally had a nurse ask me why wasn't I on prescription medication.  I told her my doctor told me I would outgrow them. I took her advice and switched doctors.  He put me on maxalt 10 mg, and it changed my life!!!!! I take them now when I feel the onset of a headache and it never develops into a migraine.  It saddens me to think how long I suffered when this wonderful drug was out there available.  I almost lost my job because of the migraines.  I was missing a lot of work. There were times when we would be on vacation and all I could do was lay in the hotel sick as a dog because of the migraines.  thanks maxalt."


"I woke up on day 9 taking Chantix completely oblivious to the fact that was even a smoker. Forgot all about it. Dreams were pretty vivid but cool, not one scary dream. I've been smoke free for a year and don't have any urges to go back. I love feeling clean and healthy ."

"I took this pill for three days after being on Loryna for 3 years. Needless to say I gained 5 pounds of water weight in those three days and threw up every single pill. I've never felt so sick from medication. STAY AWAY."


"I've had horrible acne, including a ton of cystic pimples all on my cheeks and a few on my forehead. I also have chest acne and back acne. I started taking doxycycline hyclate about 2 months ago and at first I felt like giving up and stop taking it. I didn't know the pill made you feel nauseous and I took it with a full glass of water and felt sick. A friend of mine told me she was taking the same pill and her doctor said if it makes you feel sick take food with it. So I did and I still take it today along with erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide. My skin has cleared up so much and I'm not constantly breaking out anymore. My skin isn't perfect but it is much better and it is slowly getting better. I will continue to take this antibiotic, I love it."


"My husband has used this a few years ago and worked well for him. We now need it for our son."


"Cut long story short -

I'm 21 years old I've had a lot of problems with my left ovary since I was 14yearsold. I tend to get a lot of cysts on it yet my right ovary is perfect. My gynaecologist suggested that after trying so many pills I was still getting cysts and my periods were horrendous, to try the Mirina coil WORST decision of my life.

At first they tried for 45 minutes to get it in and it would not go so I was told to come back in 2weeks which I did and again it took a lot of trouble and took 1hr and 25 mins until it was in place. After it was in it was just like period cramping. A week after this my stomach bloated making me look 5/6 months pregnant and the pain was excruciating! 1week after having it put in I've had it removed!"


"My trigs were through the roof!  345!  Now they are 102.  My doctor said getting triglycerides under control was more important than LDL for me, but now LDL is back in range.  Lipofen is very good!"


"Had the skyla IUD implanted in June after having continuous bleeding on multiple combo pills for about 9 mos. Insertion was not bad - just some bad cramps for a few days after. First 2 mos I experienced stabbing pain cramps and then it evened out. I'm opting to have it taken out after 5 mos. After 2 months, my acne has gotten considerably worse; while on pills my skin was fairly clear/only broke out in a few pimples during my period. Now I have developed cystic like acne (NOT GOOD). Also, I have experienced a lot of hair loss and my hair has thinned a lot (I have fairly thick hair) and have been having nasty headaches on a regular basis for the past 3 weeks. Good method of bc - IF you don't end up with nasty side effects."


"Celexa worked great to curb my anxiety. No longer use Xanax at all. However, side effects are getting to me and I am thinking of switching. I am experiencing: extreme fatigue and yawning, weight gain, blurred vision. Doctor is talking about switching me to Effexor. I recommend Celexa highly to anyone."


"I've used the Zithromax Z-Pack several times over the years and have found it to be the ONLY pharmaceutical that actual works QUICKLY and the problem doesn't return upon finishing up the prescription. I'm prone to a once a year, or once every two year throat infection. Extremely sore, dry yet phlegmy throat without any other signs of a cold. No cough, runny nose, sneezing nor fever. By the second day of taking this pack, my symptoms have already begun to subside. A very effective drug, indeed."


"This is my third time just now putting it back in . I’ve never gained weight and have never experienced any side affects listed . I have no periods for the first two years and then the last year I start to gradually get a cycle here and there . A few months before I get It out the cycles become more frequent in a month time
My menstruation can be heavy or light at times . No consistency near the end . It affects everyone different . This is my experience and I love It and it’s overall a cheaper way to go"


"Did nothing for me. I have been applying vaniqua twice a.day to my chin for over 2 months and I haven't noticed any change whatsoever. I will continue.to try until tube.is empty but will NOT repurchase.

I don't want people.out there falsely assume this is some.sort of miracles cream that works fort everyone.. I have sharp, dark hairs on my chin and a few.scattered ones on my face and chest and I've had it since I was 20. I think electrolysis is the only way for me to better my "condition". Good luck to all out there battling this."


"Nightmares,  didn't help with pain."


"I've tried most of the meds out there, so me and my doc decided to try this although he said it didn't do well with anxiety. I'm happy I tried this cause it really helped get rid of my anxiety and stress from work and anxiety I have in the afternoon. Have been on this 6 months now on 10mg. Really happy with it"


"I have been on treatment with Azopt eye drops - once a day -  for over 25 years.

 About 17 months ago I have started getting breathless - especially when walking on hills - out of the blue!

Until that time I have never experienced such a feeling.

I'm very upset about it.

It's very upsetting that while treating one condition another organ eventually gets damaged."


"I am a register nurse working 12 hour shifts.  tugging pulling.  I fell back in 1998 and damaged both of my knee's severely.  I have taken many different medications to control my chronic pain.  I have been taking nucynta 75mg every 6 hours since summer 2015.  Not all of my pain is gone, but I can tolerate more activity.  My life has improved greatly.   It is great that I do not have to burn up my liver with Tylenol.  Like all medications; it is not for everybody.  It works with my body chemistry.   My pain levels are low enough where I can sleep."


"I had a UTI finished an entire prescription of macrobid. I noticed as soon as I finished the meds my UTI symptoms came back - so it didn't work for m.  I then tried bactrim. The pain went away after 1.5 days of being on bactrim which was a huge relief but it is now day 4 and I am suffering from nausea, cold sweats, chills, insomnia and anxiety. It works for your UTI but the side effects are unbearable after a few days."


"The fastest acting anti anxiety medication I've ever been prescribed, and by far the most effective.  The anxiety I experienced prior to medication was crippling, I would stay in bed all day and not want to leave my house to go to school, or anything that involved other social interaction.  This medicine got me up, happy, and willing/wanting to do the things I could not do before.  However, through prolonged use of this medication I have as a result become addicted, as when I do not receive my scheduled dose I feel withdrawals.  Overall - this medication has done so many good things for me I would be content taking this until the end of time, for the pros outweigh the cons, tenfold."


"Sertraline my experience well...it is amazing! Not going to lie it is hard work to go onto sertraline as it comes with bad side effects e.g headaches, insomnia sleeping to much, dry mouth, mouth ache, having the urge to shake my legs etc. but when it is fully in your system they go so hang in there! But I'd rather be happy and put up with it. I have tried a lot of other medicines for my anxiety depression/panic attacks, which all left me with suicidal thoughts and actually made me feel worse but sertraline gives you strength and confidence and for the first time my happiness feels natural. My friend is also on it for anxiety and it has worked wonders for her."


"So, I had unprotected sex about a week ago, and we used the "pullout" method. He didn't ejaculate in me, but I was still nervous, so I went and bought Plan B about 4 hours later and took it. The only side effect I had was being very tied for about the next two days. I was extremely stressed for this past weekend, waiting for my period to come. It finally came today! It is great! Just relax, and don't stress, the pill will work if you give it some time."


"Week three on Qsymia. Lost 2 lbs this week. Not feeling great on this level, bad headaches and insomnia. I am having trouble sleeping at night, so stopped now."


"I started trulicity 3 weeks ago and have had no side effects at all a little nausea the first week but that is it my sugars always been double figures now they stay between the 4-7 mark i've lost 11lbs and feel best I have in a long time I was afraid reading these reviews and put off taking this  two weeks after I collected it at the chemist I was that afraid lol my daughter talked me into giving it a go and Im so glad I did I have energy again and Im sleeping much better give it a go might just be what you need and everyone is different good luck!!"


"Doctor gave me this shot to see if it would work for me. I suffer from chronic constipation, and painful bowel movements often causing rectal and anal tearing. It took over 24 hours for it to work for me but it was well worth the wait. I never had such a massive NORMAL bowel movement in my life and I went two times! It was wonderful. Sorry for details but I can't have bowel motion unless I overdose on a tonne of laxatives. I am now getting a prescription for it and I can't wait."


"I was on this for almost 2 months. It did its job of preventing pregnancy and it also cleared up my skin, but it wasn't worth the side effects. I started getting anxiety attacks and debilitating depression. It got so bad that there were days I didn't want to get out of bed. Also my sex drive was nonexistent. I didn't want to be touched at all sometimes. All of the emotional issues and the low libido really took a toll on my relationship. When I thought this could be related to the pill, I went off. It hasn't even been a week and I feel so much better."


"My boyfriend has been on Antabuse for a few months now, and for the most part just the thought of drinking scared him. He takes this pill daily at the same time and now after witnessing one of the sickest people I've ever seen due to one drink while taking this medicine, I'm scared for him. He literally was bright red, his body was on fire and the sickness he felt was something he had never felt before and never wishes that he had drank. He was in massive pain. This drug works wonders, but under no circumstances, no matter how much stress you have in your life, DON'T DRINK while on this medicine. You have absolute helplessness over the situation. There isn't an antidote."


"I was put on Lyrica by my anesthetist for post operative pain control following a revision of a Dupuy metal on metal hip.  Has certainly helped the pain in this and the other hip and reduced the muscle spasms I was experiencing.  However side effects have increased with use and I have severe visual disturbance, foggy mind and forgetfulness.  I was on 150mg 3 times a day and tried to stop.  Big mistake severe cold turkey with shaking nausea and panic attacks.  Now trying to come off slowly but really struggling with the side effects."


"This drug isn't for everyone. The side effects are completely crazy. I have been on it for almost 12 months now. It has provided relief from migraines by almost 95% of the time.  This has been a big deal for me. Side effects I've experienced: hands and feet tingle periodically (some days are worse than others), hair loss started 3 months after taking it but began to cease 6 months later, definite brain fog (some days I feel like I'm losing my mind), grogginess (I can only take my dose at night otherwise I'm a zombie during the day), changes in vision, loss of appetite, fatigue, irritability.  At first I convinced myself the side effects were worth tolerating compared to having a migraine. But as time goes on, I'm beginning to think im wrong"


"I had blown up from taking Lyrica..600mg daily for well over 2 years.. Weight went from 260 to 327, I had spinal injury. I told doctor I am tired of this weight and mostly all around my mid section and upper chest. He put me on topamax 25mg at bedtime for one week then up to 50mg at bedtime. OMG I lost so far 30 pounds in less than 3 months I went from 52 waist to 44  and still dropping fat like crazy. I just don't have desire to eat. All that food I was pigging out on..I totally stop drink pop it taste like metal, I am going to start walking around the block soon and exercise to really get back to my ideal weight of 235.  Wish me luck. I see folks complain of tingling in fingers. I had that but I took a BC powder with Gatorade it worked"


"I came off the drug two weeks ago but still feel ill. I'm dragging myself around and feel confused, tired and full of aches and pains. I am normally a very fit person who loves to swim and walk. This drug needs to be banned if others can be used without the dreadful and long lasting side effects. I read I could now have liver damage."


"I cannot even begin to explain how much this medicine has helped me with my depression/anxiety! The only thing I regret is being stubborn and not take it 3 years earlier! "


"I had a 23 week gestational premature baby. I was on severe bed rest with an existing compressed disk. My L5 ripped/ruptured and leaks fluid. The surgery to get my daughter out was very invasive and they gave me a spinal tap in my C7/8. They hit a nerve big time. So I am in constant pain. My daughter is fine now. However, I too take pain medicine, which I prefer not to. Vicodin, Norco, Percocet, tramadol and now Gabapentin. Which really works! Very well. Helps the anxiety pain puts you through. Helps withdrawal from pain meds. At first it gets you loopy but your body begins to adapt. But its worth not being on a narcotic for years.

"


"I'm 36yr old doctor. I had been on Paroxetine for past 8 yrs.weaned just 6 months back.I developed post subcapsular cataract last year. Operated both eyes with IOL. the morbidity it has  produced reflects in my day to day activities. I never heard of cataracts as a side effect by paroxetine until I developed one. only when I searched on net I could see few studies suggesting cataract as a side effect of some  SSRIs and Paroxetine is one among those.I had to wean it as I was afraid I might end up in more rare and serious side effects in long term, say for eg renal failure in another few yrs.But its a wonderful drug in controlling OCD. Soon I'm about  to restart it or a new SSRI due to relapse. OCD makes me feel living blind is more easier than with OCD"


"This med helped me to go back to a stressful job after burnout.I am so grateful to have had this to deal with stress++++.I was able to function well.but not get panicked or be exhausted by the stressful

Work in a hospital..5mg per day was so helpful."


"Been using for 8 months on right big toenail and left and right smallest toenail.  Applying everyday faithfully, no results.  Pay $40 a month copay.  What a rip off.  Do not buy and do not waste your money.  Why are doctors prescribing this medication when it is not working for so many people?  Of course, they get money off this also.  So many desperate fools out there being exploited once again by the medical profession.  One doctor told me point blank--"you will never get rid of this problem."  He was right.  DO NOT BUY JUBLIA!!!!"


"I have been taking Pristiq for about three weeks now and it's been fantastic! I just feel normal again. I feel like I am back to my old happy, friendly self. I no longer feel panicked when I am in a very social situation and I'm not scared to try new things anymore. Overall I just feel very balanced. I can deal with stressful situations and get over them a lot more quickly. I don't dwell on them all day. I'm also a lot less cranky."


"Stomach pains and bad taste. Drink plenty of water it helps the taste and stomach. I've had different reactions with Biaxin. Don't drink caffeine and take it. It will keep you awake and don't lay down in bed for 1 hour after taking. This all seems to help keep stimulation down so you can sleep."


"The medication was easy to use and helped improved my mood slightly.  Changing medications was not hard either."


"I smoked for over 43 years & have quit numerous times it took a cancer scare to convince me to get serious about quitting I visited the doctor to get a prescription for chantix,the nicotine patch I used both products. The patch was used for 60 days,and the pill for an additional 90 days so far I have been smoke free for the past 2 years yes I experienced some of those side effects but I worked through them. I thank the makers of chantix for my successful 2 years."


"I am on my second Mirena IUD.  I placed one in after my second child.  I had migraine level headaches when I was on the pill for the duration of my period. No matter what I took for the headache. Went to sleep with headache and awoke with same headache for 5 of my six day period.  This didn't say I didn't have cramps too.  My ObGyn suggested Mirena.  When it was placed, It was painful.  The rest of that day I had awful cramping.. brutal.. By the next morning... Nothing.  I had no pain.  I had mild cramps for two days-  After that no cramps, no headache, no period, no weight gain, nothing. It has been AWESOME for me both times.  So what you see in reviews comes to this.  Everybody is different... I say its worth the try.  Great!"


"Day 3 of Monodox: my acne is starting to clear up. I'm on 75mg 1x a day. Sinus stuffiness/drainage, diahrrhea, muscle weakness, and a headache when I run too hard. I've read really good things about this medicine, that's why I opted to fill my prescription. SUPER EXPENSIVE without insurance and a discount card my Dr gave me. Hope the side effects subside."


"I don't think it's the worst but it's not the best. I've been on it for about 8 months now, but I think it's time to try something new.  I have had crazy mood swings, very little energy, despite my best efforts, unable to loose weight (it just keeps packing on and I use to not be able to gain weight even if I tried).  The worst part is the severe lowering of sex drive.  I've been on it since my husband and I were married and I didn't even fully understand what I was missing until I missed it for a few days and it was like a huge burden lifted. I felt so much better."


"I have had Tourette's since I was nine years old.  I remember blinking non stop and knowing that something was wrong.  I am now 30 and have been on Risperdal, Haldol, and Orap.  The Orap is the only thing that works without any harsh side effects.  Mostly I have facial and vocal tics that get fairly severe under stress.  The Orap eliminates all but the most severe tics.  I am extremely thankful for Orap and how it has helped make my life a little more normal.  I also suffer from anxiety and OCD."


"Excellent treatment for high blood pressure. Been taking for over 15 years with excellent results."


"I have taken Claritin for a number of years now.  I have year round allergies and severe in season.  I only take this when needed  - I am not the take it as a preventative type.  My experience is that Claritin is effective if taken on an empty stomach and when my allergies are on the mild to moderate side.  If they are severe, it does not help."


"This drug not only did not help reduce any symptoms of my Crohn's Disease, but it also caused severe issues. Though I maintained a healthy diet & stayed moderately active, I gained 15 pounds in a short amount of time on this drug. I also experienced hair loss. The most serious issue, however, is that I contracted multiple infections while on this drug. The first was a sinus infection that lasted more than two weeks. After this was over my doctor advised me to resume the Humira, and shortly afterwards, I ended up with severe sepsis that, according to several of the doctors in the hospital, probably would not have happened had I not been on Humira. I would never recommend this drug to anyone. It's not worth risking your life."


"I have been taking Contrave for 3 months. As of yesterday, I have lost 1 pounds.

I have never had a weight problem, but had to take large amounts of steroids during my chemo for brain cancer. I have not been able to lose any of the weight I have gained until I tried Contrave.

I have not experienced any side effects."


"When I first used Topamax it was for seizures but I had not been diagnosed with bipolar then it was thought to be depression. I lost 83 pounds but I stopped taking it because of the tingling in my hands and face, but after trying other medications years later I gained 123 pounds which I was devastated and plunged in a deep depression that I am still in after reading about again I know, I can live with the other things it seems minor to the darkness I have been living in I can't what to try it again after realizing its better than 99% of things I tried when I go to my appointment in two weeks. I'm excited for the first time in a long time to try it again."


"My Dr. told me that my BP and Cholesterol were high. He prescribed Amlodipine Besylate 5mg and Statin.  I did a research on the drugs and found some horrible reviews. I put the drugs somewhere and started a lifestyle change through dieting and going to the gym.  After a week I did a BP check at a Pharmacy and my BP was very high so I went home, started the Amlodipine. I started feeling dizzy, had headaches, back pain and weak.  I stopped using it when a friend mentioned Moringa Bitters. I tried it for three days and went for BP check, I found out that my BP was  very high.  However, I noticed that all the symptoms associated with the Amlodipine stopped when I was taking the Moringa. I am confused though."


"I loved it the first couple of nights. Then nothing. Then worse than nothing I wake up feeling very anxious. I need to get up and move even though I am still exhausted. Will try a few nights without it. Also, it doesn't help me fall asleep. I still need something else for that."


"Made migraine worse, then sleepy, chest pain/tightness. Sore scalp. Tender. Next day very sleepy still."


"July 2016 was when I was diagnosed by my psychiatrist with anxiety and depression. So my psychiatrist prescribed me first with sertraline and clonazepam. But after a few weeks I quit using clonazepam but continued taking sertraline. Since the start of the year I was different, I was always serious, I'm always frowning, I rarely talk not like the previous years in which I was obnoxious and energetic. But after a month of taking sertraline, it seems like I came back to that obnoxious me although I still have recurring episodes of depression, apathy and suicidal attempts. The depression was partly gone, my behavior somehow changed but unfortunately anxiety was still there actually never got any better. But I must say sertraline is effective."


"My first glass was a shocker kind of salty but after that it was it was okay.It did the job if you know what I mean."


"Prescribed for dental infection. Had to discontinue use due to dizziness and rash."


"I have been using Levemir for seven years now and find it to be a very user friendly, but as commented above I have found that a steady increase in dosage is needed to keep the effectiveness of the medicine."


"Had endometrial ablation under Propofol sedation.  I do not remember anything about the procedure from when the anesthesiologist injected the Propofol until they woke me up after the procedure.  However, my doctor did say there were one or two times where I joined the conversation that my doctor, the anesthesiologist, and two nurses were having during the Thermachoice treatment.  I do not remember talking at all, but my doctor said I might do that, especially since I have a history of talking in my sleep.  Overall, I was very pleased with the Propofol sedation, and I had no side effects afterwards."


"Percocet does the job well. It kills the pain.  "


"Love it, Love it, Love it. I was on it 5 years ago and could tell within 2 days such a major change in my mood and motivation. I went off it it when I became pregnant with baby #1 - 5 years later I felt I needed it again, I didn't feel "depressed" but I knew I could feel better. I went back on Wellbutrin 150mg once a day and again by day 2 I was feeling amazing - totally can focus better and just love life again."


"While it does take time, this works. I've even worn through the Summer with toenail polish. I just kept applying it making sure to get the cuticle and the top of the nail/under the top part."


"I started Lutera about 2 weeks ago, and the only side effects I have noticed is slight tenderness and swelling of my breasts (not really a problem) and occasional mood swings, (which are easy to control if your aware you are having mood swings). At first it was difficult remembering to take the pill, but I set an alarm on my cell to remind me. I set it for a time when I'm usually awake, and not busy. The pill however like any other birth control will cause slight weight gain, so it's wise to cut back on the amount of calories you consume while on this pill. It does not stop your period either, well at least not for me. My menstrual periods are much shorter, and somewhat lighter, but still there. Also, I've noticed occasional, slight cramping."


"I switched from the brand name Cymbalta to the generic version.  After 4 weeks I felt like it wasnt working.  My old symptoms were returning with a vengeance.  I did some research about how generics become approved. Apparently, how fast a drug is absorbed, the extent to which it is absorbed and then leaves the body is calculated and compared to the brand name.  Using this calculation, when the Generic Version falls within 80% to 125% of its Brand Name counterpart then it is considered a bioequivalent (meaning the Generic Version can be officially made-available as a cheaper alternative to the Brand Name version).  So, they are not identical but rather fall within a range of bioequivalent acceptance.  For me, the generic was not effective."


"My doctor put me on this because I'm on pain meds for chronic stomach pain and he didn't want to mix benzos into that. It worked ok for the first few months but as of this week, I have been having narcoleptic episodes and night terrors. I will NOT be taking this ever again."


"I would be much happier if nausea wasn't a part of this. That's the one side effect that makes it hard to deal with."


"Have been taking this wonderful medication for several years first through a sponsored program by the manufacturer. The low sexual side effects are a big reason I like it. Life isn't life with out a functioning libido. I am now finding the same as one other reviewer, I have some anxieties, money, bills, money, car repairs, money, you get the idea, and I am hoping for an anxiety medication to accompany this medication. Any suggestions would be helpful. God I hate not sleeping for three days at a time and sweating profusely in the grocery store because I'm anxious even about the money I have to spend on food. Is buspar a possible match for viibryd?"


"I took Adipex 2 years ago. I lost 15 pounds then gained it back plus some over this time. Now I am trying the phentermine 30 mg. I'm on my 4th day plus I am taking chromium too. I have lost 5 pounds. The doctor told me to take 2 a day. I was skeptical. Don't really like taking 2 so I'm going to cut back to one a day. Have to make myself eat. I have cut out caffeine and sweets. I am not a healthy eater so my main goal is portion control and not eating late at night which is a habit. I don't really like the side effects but when I took Adipex I was fine after the first week so I hope this is the same."


"Both my son and I took this on a diving trip and it worked great.  No side effects.  I have high blood pressure and had no effects that I could tell.  We took 1 the night before and 1 an hour before the boat left the dock."


"I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and neuropathy. I was in horrible pain all I did was lay in bed and the spasms through my whole body were just horrific. The neurologist put me on 10 mg of baclofen to start, finally moving up to 20 mg a day. It brought my quality of life completely back.it took the neuropathy completely away and quite a bit of the pain from the fibromyalgia. When I got the prescription filled the first 90 day prescription of baclofen was made by a company called IVAX And as I stated worked very well. When I went in for a refill the pharmacy gave me baclofen made by LANNETT and it had a horrible side effects, I brought it back and they exchanged it for the original baclofen made by IVAX Since then I've had no problems."


"12 months on Trintellix, 20mg. No side effects. Still mildly depressed, but functioning ok. I'm 44 years old and have tried all the other SSRIs and NSRis and this has been the best so far. The others caused me much unhappiness with side-effects and brain fog and depersonalisation."


"I have had problems with constant bleeding for years, I have tried every birth control option, including pills, the shot, the patch, you name it I tried it. Nothing stopped the bleeding. Went to 6 different doctors looking for answers, no one could tell me why this was happening. I decided to get the implant put in a week ago. 24 hours after it was put in, the bleeding stopped. No cramps, no bleeding, no worrying about it. BEST birth control option for me."


"Being depression one of the most  misunderstood and stigmatized diseases of the world there's no wonder why suicide is already one of the leading causes of death worldwide.
I've been struggling with this silent killer associated with panic attacks for so long that I actually thought no medicine would ever help me.
I was so dissappointed about antidepressants that I was already planning a painless way to suicide by the time my doc prescribed me Venlafaxine. The first two weeks seemed like I was on any other antidepressants that I've had tried before (zoloft, imipramine, Paxil). Then, as a miracle: there was this day when I woke up from a (finally) great night of sleep, feeling myself really better, free of those continuous headaches and anxiety"


"My Asthma and Allergist, prescribed this for me when continued use of Flonase was giving me nose bleeds. I took it the next day and never have again. I could not get the taste out of my mouth for half an hour no matter I ate or drank to get it to go away. I have a bad cold right now and the Flonase isn't doing very well, I'm considering trying the Astelin again but I don't know if the taste is worth it."


"Horrible DO NOT TAKE THIS. Took it at 7 woke up with nausea, cramps, and kidney pain. Had a teenie tiny bowel movement and am now wide awake.
"


"I am an older adult in good health.  I originally had dizziness (possibly from a virus or sinus bug)  which caused nausea.  This medication took away both symptoms within 1-2 hours and I was able to carry on with my normal activities."


"The drop works pretty fast, however it makes my eyes feel tingly. That's as scientific of an explanation as I can come up with."


"I've been on this pill for about a little over a year and a half, I have had a very good experience so far, I never got headaches, pain or any of those things. It cleared my skin pretty well but after a while it stopped but I never broke out crazily my breasts grew a little and I still PMS and get minor cramps but my period is still heavy but shorter by 4 days so I'm not going to complain! I hope this birth control will continue to work for me just as well as the months go on."


"Trouble sleeping my whole life. I tried taking other medications with mild results. Belsomra works great for me! Downfall is the price but it is absolutely worth it if you are one of the people it works for effectively. The trouble waking up is the only thing I would change about this medication."


"I was prescribed this medication yesterday after struggling to sleep when my Ambien became ineffective.  When I took it, I waited 1.5 hours to feel sleepy and I didn't.  I then took a 2nd pill (30mg total).  After 3 hours time it still hadn't worked for me.  I was in bed, ready to sleep, no real distractions.  I finally had to take Ambien on top of it and then I felt a bit tired and struggled all night.  Not sure if this is a medication that takes time to work, but it didn't touch me at all."


"Implant = never again!, I'm 23 years old I've had the implant for about 2 months. I've had a period everyday since getting it. I've gained over half a stone, plus I'm an emotional wreck. I go through 4 emotions a day, I have sleepless nights, feel drained and dizzy everyday. Been to the doctors today to be told I need it removing as my body is clearly rejecting it and that they don't won't me to get depressed. I was on the pill before but had the same issues ( bleeding everyday) I get my implant taken out on Monday then will be getting the 11 weekly injection. Please please please if you feel how I'm feeling please seek medical attention. The implant isn't for everyone, do your research then go ahead and choose."


"Over 20 year sufferer covering a huge percentage of my body. This was the first medication to EVER clear it completely. I know it doesn't work for everybody. Truly a miracle drug and so thankful to have found it."

"Took lo loestrin fe for 2 weeks, and immediately had to discontinue. Started with spotting during the second week, developed anxiety attacks and unnecessary fears, back pain, lo libido. After I stopped, it took a week for me to return to being functional. It's been about 6 weeks since I have stopped the pill and haven't gotten a period, and every few weeks symptoms of anxiety and unnecessary fears come back."


"Was given this for headaches and spent first three days sitting in the back of my closest crying.  I couldn't stand noise, more than normal, couldn't stand, light, couldn't stand anything touching me. Felt like my fingers and toes were on fire.  Would've rather had the headaches.  I drank so much water trying desperately to flush this from my system and refuse to take the fourth dose.  Not the medicine for me."


"Excedrin Migraine is a tiny little gift from God. I'm 28 and have been dealing with migraines my whole life. I just had a killer migraine about 30 minutes ago...one of those so bad that you feel nauseous, disoriented, and like your brain is swollen. I am feeling SO much better now and can continue with the rest of my day like normal. I truly think Excedrin Migraine works as good if not better than several onset migraine medications I've tried in the past. I keep a bottle in my car, my purse, and my office desk because I never know when a migraine will strike. Thank you Excedrin for making my migraines more manageable!"


"So I had it inserted on the 6th day of my period. I think that's why I had issues with it. You're supposed to get it inserted earlier. Anyway, insertion didn't hurt but my arm was pretty sore after. My first period came on time and was the normal 7 days. I was used to 5 days because I was on the pill prior but still 7 wasn't terrible. The next month I didn't have a period I was super excited. I thought that meant I wouldn't have it from then on out. I was wrong. I got it monthly until about 5 months ago. It went from 7 days to 9 days. It got super heavy and unpredictable. I'd have it for 9 days then get it again a week later. Then it started lasting 10-15 days. I was moody and crying. I had it taken out."


"I took this for the side effects from seroquel  This drug made me disoriented, confused, and forgetful. It also didn't help with my side effects."


"I have been in terrible lower back pain for over 2 years. After numerous MRI's and other tests and alot of different doctors, nothing showed up that should be causing that much pain. They did find a problem in my L1 disc but nothing major. I have a very high tolerence for pain and could barely function. All the different doctors put me on Vicodin 10/325 but it only worked for an hour. The doctors treated me as if I was a drug addict even my pain management doctor. After I took a so called routine drug test, my very next visit after she saw I passed my drug test she put me on Opana ER 20mg. Instantly my back pain was 90% gone. I don't feel high, just pain free. I forgot what that felt like. My pain level went from a 10 to a 3 instantly."


"Tried this for CS outbreak.  I'll keep it simple and to the point

Pros:

-Works a lot better than any OTC (throw that junk out waste of $)

-Cheap...compared to other drugs

-Fast acting ...even if caught later will still work

-Can stop/reduce symptoms

-Convenient vs any cream

-Side affects nothing like Famvir

Cons:

-Not as good as Famvir(holy grail to knockout cold sores)

-It appears you need to double the dose to really get an affect

-Maybe slight headache

-You need to take a lot, its not just 3 pills and done...

-no advancement in this drug and its been around for how long??

-Did get a second outbreak while taking...but cleared up quick."


"Doesn't help me like you guys say its going to do"


"I had been on Prozac for three years and gone through a lot of hard times. It helped when I was splitting from my ex, Lost a job, got into some legal trouble, lost my license, and had to move back home.  After getting back on my feet again and getting my license and a job I decided to ween off of it...bad idea..I became more and more stressed out and had very bad stomach issues that I never had before.  After about three months off 40mg a day I had a huge panic attack and days of not eating or sleeping.  I have since gone back on 20 mg and hope it starts to work soon. I should have never gone off this medication it saved my life once and I hope to have the same results again.  I was happy, able to take things much better and be myself."


"I am a different person when I'm on this, and in a good way. It helps me keep stable. The first time I was on it, I got really sick and felt terrible. I tried it again on a lower dose and built my way up and now I'm doing well on it!"


"I have tried many spasm medications since 2002 for major muscle spasms. I was in a car accident and now I'm left with very bad uncontrollable spasms. This is the only one that worked, but after 6 years of taking it, it doesn't work anymore but for short term usage of this medication it works very well."


"I am 21 and Since I first received the shot in January, I have been bleeding ever since. Sometimes light, sometimes like an actual period, with cramps and migraines.
Also, this medicine has completely jacked up my hormones. I am angry ALL the time, ALWAYS sad. I cry everyday, over the smallest issues, or for no reason. I am happy, and in a split second I will feel very low or even have suicidal thoughts. I experience extreme mood swings and flip out on my boyfriend- coupled with less sex from the bleeding. It's very frustrating. I am hoping that this is just my body still adjusting to the medicine. I haven't had any weight gain or acne though( knock on wood)."


"I am a paraplegic due to a gunshot to my spine incurred in VietNam. I had taken Macrodantin for over forty years and it helped to greatly curb my infections due to the need for intermittent catheritization three times daily. It caused side effects as I got older. I hadn't realized that this medicine was causing me to be continuously dizzy and generally unwell. I have since stopped taking it."


"Amazing! Perfect!"


"I have battled hyperhidrosis for 6 years, trying everything from loofas, SweatBlock, Certain Dri, even putting cinnamon on my underarms, all to an avail. Then, last week I was at the doctors and I decided to mention my sweating problem. She prescribed Hypercare and told me that it has worked for all of her patients. Yeah, I'd heard that one before. Skeptically, I went home and followed the directions to the t. I did experience severe itching and burning (I'm not going to lie, it was intense and kind of felt like someone was holding a blow torch to my pits,) but it was all worth it the next day when there wasn't a drop of sweat on my grey shirt! Please give Hypercare a try, it has truly changed my life!"


"They say in the packet that there may be some spotting but I've had my period for over 6 months on Implanon."


"I've been on this pill for almost 4 months. The first 2 weeks I got really sick, sweat a lot, could not eat, it was REALLY bad but I think it was just my body getting used to it. (This is my first birth control) But after the 2nd week it was great. Lighter/shorter periods and could possibly be the reason why my acne has cleared. Sex drive went down, weight didn't change, no breast enlargement, harder to get and stay wet.  I've fought with my boyfriend a lot and he blames it on the pill, but my family and friends haven't noticed any moodiness so I think it's just him blaming it on the pill. Overall, it's a good BIRTH CONTROL pill. "


"It was amazing. I've had a large, full body, break out of psoriasis for about month now. This was due to the fact that 4 previous physicians could not figure out what it was. I went to a dermatologist, he gave me triamcinolone and it made my skin look so much better in a matter of days."


"Horrible experince i was prescribed azithromycin for an "ear infection" when i took the first dose i was fine until 2hours later i started to experince fatigue headache rapid hear beat and by the second day im now experinceing ringing in both ears this is horrible does anybody experience that in ther ears? If so in how long did it go away? Im so scare to go deaf "


"Today was my first day on Viberzi. I was prescribed two 100mg pills a day. So far it has been okay. I decided to be risky and really test it and have an iced coffee and Taco Bell. Usually I would be headed straight to the bathroom before I even finished my meal. Instead, I had all of the feelings (rumbling, little gas, bloating, little tightness in my stomach area) but did not make a bowel movement. Props to that. I don't know if this means I'll be stopped up for a couple days like other users have said. I guess it's better than using the bathroom every 10 minutes. My only problem is I smoked some hookah and it really messed with me. I felt completely drunk/high, but that's my fault for doing that."


"Sometimes you feel extra weird and jittery and sometimes you feel super super comfident like me right now"


"I have taken this medicine for over a year it sure helps with the pain!"


"I was sick for a day before I went in and was prescribed zofran. It gave me instant relief to the nausea and vomiting. I was also lucky enough to not get any side effects."


"I have been on it for 7 months now. During my first pack I had a lot of breakthrough bleeding but it went away by my 2nd month. The main thing I like is my moods are more stable and overall better. And no PMS! However, I must say my sex drive has decreased a ton. It does have its pros and cons."


"Lyrica gave me back enough life to work part time again. Tried many other medicines to treat my Fibromyalgia symptoms and few had much positive effect. However, found that Tramadol works for the muscle pain, and Lyrica allows me the strength and energy to move once the pain is managed. Trazodone helps with the quality sleep issue."


"I've been on Symbicort for 5 months - I was originally diagnosed with COPD, I was on Advair for 4 yrs and had bad side effects. I was angry and depressed. Advair made my chest feel heavy. I switched to Spiriva it did not help, took ventolin 6 x a day. I wen't on Foradil but would wake up wheezing every night and felt the worst I have ever felt. Finally had asthma testing and prescribed Symbicort 2 inhalations twice a day. I've never felt better. It has literally changed my life! I am having ringing in the ears but I'll take that over not being able to breath any day!"


"This drug made me crazy. Horrible mood swings, leg aches, crying spells, insomnia. Yikes!"


"I'm on week 3. I used to be on the xulane patch but at my 6 month pp appointment and after using the patch for a couple weeks I had a terrible skin reaction.. (which was weird cuz I used it for almost 9 yrs with no issue) switched to this pill, take it every night at 8:30 pm when kids are in bed. -im 25 btw.

So far, BAD cystic acne on my chin, around mouth, forehead. It's so embarrassing I don't even want to check the mail.

Headaches, bloated and huge. Reduced sex drive, 14 day period. Bad cramps with period and I'm 5 days off it and still cramping bad with some back pain. :/ I am constantly hungry, and I always want to cry or get easily emotional. I hate it! I'm considering getting off it. Idk what I'm Ganna do but I'll figure it out."


"Hi guys so on September 18(last day of my period) I had sex with my boyfriend, the condom got stucked in me and he already ejaculated.He didn't know until he asked me where the condom was. I freaked out. I found it inside me, took it out and then decided to useplan b. Because from what I know, sperms can live up to 5 days and September 23rd was supposed to be my ovulation day. I took plan b 40mins later and after that I starting having headache,cramps but still I was stressed out. September 25th (my bday actually )before going to school I had cramps, I took Advil because it was too much. Next thing u know I got my period again (twice in a month). I feel relieved now and it actually worked for me .So girls just used it at the right time."


"I was prescribed this medication for ten days after two recent bouts with a sinus infection that never seemed to clear. This did the trick. I was thirsty and somewhat restless but had none of the major possible side effects that the doctor warned me about."


"I took Pepcid and Pepcid AC for years but like all Gas pills One pill could make me my stools solid "constipation" like for a couple of days."


"I have neurological Lyme Disease and I currently take 20 mg a night. I also take Panadeine forte for breakthrough pain,  Without the medication I wouldn't be able to work.  It helps me sleep also which is a huge bonus.  I was reluctant to take it at first because of my experience of being told the illness was in my head.  A good caring doctor convinced me of its efficacy.  I would recommend it as a first port of call. "


"In England my mother took me to the doctor and being a nurse herself knew I had ADHD.  The doctors wanted to put me on Ritalin but my mother said no, I would grow out of it eventually. In the US my attention from high school through college became worse, and I got into a lot of trouble. My grades were horrible in high school through college, even work. I had to take classes two to three times over again. The only way I would remember daily things was to write it down.  Now at 41, I got help, and I am able to focus, complete tasks, remember without asking ten times, and sit still.  It's never too late for help.  Just wish I would of done this 35 years ago. My anger has subsided also with no side effects."


"It's wonderful not to feel so much pain anymore (I have spine damaged nerves) "


"Since most of the reviews are from gals who have just recently gotten their paragard, I thought I'd post about my experience since I've had mine for 3 years. Everything has been relatively good with my paragard up until recently. I became a vegan last July, so I haven't been getting very much iron or zinc in my diet. Recently I've experienced  some pretty dramatic hair loss. After I shower I have a palm sized ball of hair left in the shower. My hair is falling out in chunks! I am 31 years old with no health issues. I have never had any issues like this in my life nor is this hereditary. I started researching copper toxicity and anemia as two possible reasons and will start supplementing! I may no longer need bc if I end up bald! LOL"


"Had terrible ringing in the head 4 months. Worst everyday. Took meds first night couldn't sleep much.  Then I wake up and barely hear the Bell. Now after 2 days Nearly quiet.  thank God"


"So far, so good despite being sceptical.I have tried many things over years to loose weight. My Dr recommended this might help for ongoing chronic back pain and said loosing 10-15kgs might make the world of difference.I have a great fear of needles but they really don't hurt. Some stinging - rubbing injection site just with fingers afterward helps.  Gaviscon helped with the burping. Coloxal for constipation. I haven't changed my diet but can't eat as much, don't feel like alcohol and so far have lost 2kg in 2.5 weeks.  I've never been able to get under 80kgs so the next few weeks will tell.  So far so good. I'll keep you updated. A bit tired but supplements help. I would recommend giving this a go. Sign up through the trial prog."


"It's very effective  and last longer then most benzo but alprazolam is stronger!"


"Most of the negative reviews on this pill didn't give it enough time to get used to. You have to remember that you're causing a disruption in your bodies hormonal cycle, and that's going to cause slight discomfort on any pill. ALSO birth control pills are different for everyone. Bad reviews doesn't mean that this pill won't be a perfect match for you. The first three months of this birth control were a little rough, mood swings and heavy periods. BUT by the fourth month I stopped having periods altogether. I now haven't had a period for almost a year and experience no complications. My sex drive is normal , and I have gained no weight."


"I've been taking ondansetron ODT 8mg tabs for about 2 days due to nausea caused by a kidney infection. When I take the tablet it doesn't help and makes me more nauseous than I was before. I just took it a half hour ago to be sure, and I immediately became more nauseous. So I'm pretty sure it just doesn't work for me, and I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem?"


"Excellent product."


"I have been using Duloxetine for  couple months for Fibromyalgia.  I didn't have any initial side effects.  It has helped me enormously with the muscle pain and spasms. The downside is it has lowered my libido,  I'm fatigued and have weight gain. As I am also menopausal it's a bit hard to tell what is causing some of the side effects.  The lowering of the libido is definitely a side effect of duloxetine. Not sure if I will continue on this medication."


"I told myself that if plan b worked for me id write a Re view so here i am. I took plan b on on Oct 13 after an incident and took one more pill the next day after that im not sure why i did that I just thought it would work better i guess... i had light bleeding a week after for like 3 days i got so happy thinking it was my period...But it wasnt it was just a breakthrough bleeding. I have been sick for 4 weeks after taking this pill and i was convinced i was pregnant i have had sore boobs for all those 4 weeks and have been feeling naseous every single day..and since its been 4 weeks i was sure i was pregnant..i also felt dizzy at times and very out of it..today 4 weeks after i started my period..so happy"


"One month after injection date I am experiencing the most painful period ever.  I can't leave the bathroom for fear I will bleed threw everything.  I am changing my tampon ever hour (or less).  I have been taking muscle relaxers to try and ease my pain,  but they don't do much.
I have never had a menstrual cycle  like this. Usually the first day is heavy but then isn't so bad.  On the depo  shot I have been bleeding for several days.  I am making an appointment with another gynecologist on Monday to see if there is anything I can do.
I am so upset that the doctor didn't warn me about the side effects before giving this to me.
There is also acne, weight gain and sever cramps (with out my period)  that I had to deal with the first month"


"I had Mirena inserted two weeks ago as a treatment for endometrial hyperplasia.  I am 40 years old and never had a child.  After reading about the painful insertions online, I was nervous about insertion.  I took Tylenol an hour before my appointment and tried to relax during insertion.  I had only mild cramping during the insertion.  The nurse practitioner had me cough when she inserted the tube into my cervix, which I think helped lessen the pain.  In fact, when she told me she was done, I was surprised.  I was near the end of my period the day I had it inserted.  I bled for the next two days, and have been fine since except for some mild spotting today."


"To be fair to the Butrans patch, I didn't give it a long trial run.  I had to take it off in less than 24 hours because the side effects were so severe.  Previously I had taken Percocet as needed, but because of the good reviews, I decided to try the Butrans patch.  It was a really bad idea.  The patch put me into a terrible withdrawal from Percocet only hours after applying it.  I had severe akathisia (restless body), stomach pain, diarrhea, and I even started seeing things & hearing conversations in my head.  It also made my pupils huge, so anyone who saw me must've known that I was high.  It was so embarrassing!  I couldn't get that patch off fast enough.  I'd rather live with the pain from my spinal fusions, than ever try Butrans again."


"*WARNING* I Decided to try this medication for treating pigmentation. Unfortunately I have haven't been on the course long enough to see the improvement.  But have experienced side effects, of extreme tiredness, foggy-ness, light headedness, depression along with a swollen lip and hyper sensitivity of my thyroid etc.... and its only been 10 days of use. I am putting this out there that people need to be extra cautious with this drug. For me personally I don't think its worth the effect it brings onto your body, Along with other horror stories I have read In the reviews, I won't be taking this drug lightly.
"


"I have PCOS and hypothyroidism so losing weight is difficult for me. My Doctor prescribed Contrave 3 months ago. At first, the side effects were very difficult. I was nauseated and I felt really dizzy. At first, I didn't lose that much weight with it either; however, after about 2 weeks started losing weight and am currently down 25 pounds. I was very lucky as my prescription drug insurance changed at the beginning of this year and the new plan covers it with only a copay of $80 for a 3-months supply. I am thrilled with that. I have had constipation, but nothing that I cannot handle.  I would suggest this drug if you have metabolic diseases. For me, the cravings disappeared, but I feel my body is burning more calories in the process."


"I've been on Levora for three years to help with my endometriosis. I've gained weight but most women do while taking any type of birth control. I used to have really bad acne now I only really breakout during my period, also my period is lighter and shorter. Every woman is different and our bodies aren't going to be the same as another woman talking the same birth control."


"I loved this. I'd didn't burn my skin or make it red and peel like some people said and it has really helped me a lot! I use it with another topical cream my doctor prescribe for me also its called Aczone and I use that in the morning and Epiduo at night. I first cleanse my skin with Cetaphil and it has really helped because it is a gentle cleanser! Anyway my acne is gone except for when I forget to use the creams for a couple days I tend to start to get acne, so do not forget to use the cream."


"Wellbutrin was prescribed to augment Zoloft.  It made an improvement for me."


"I had Mirena put in about 6 months ago. I am 20 and have never had kids. The reason why I chose Mirena was basically because I could never remember to take the pill. I have had no weight gain or mood changes. When it was inserted it was pretty painful but it only took a few seconds. I spotted slightly for the first few weeks and had some pretty intense lower abdominal cramping if I wore tight pants that would only last for a few seconds. But after about a month, everything was back to normal. The benefits of Mirena totally outweigh the discomfort in the beginning."


"Makes me nauseated"


"I was taking this pill for several years and had a good experience with it. My periods were only for 3 days, if that. Sometimes, I hardly bled. My Dr. prescribed this to me because I had irregular menstrual cycles. While I was on the medication, my acne improved, I hardly had any breakouts, I barely experienced cramps, and I had a shortened period. It worked very well for me but apparently, they've discontinued this product. Minastrin 24 FE is apparently the bio-equivalent. I have yet to try that product or any new pills."


"I actually just started using this product and in using it right now and my armpits burn so bad I could cry. They're also itching like crazy! But, I really don't wanna be a sweat bucket at school ! So ?"


"I was taking 300mg of Clindamycin 4 times a day for 7 days for a gum infection, after a day started having extremely loud intestinal rumbling, passing loud, long gas and severe diarrhea.  I cannot even pass gas without having to go to the bathroom and wipe myself or even urinate without having some diarrhea. Rectal/anal area is raw and painful from the diarrhea, my skin is itchy and have this weird taste in my mouth.  I've now finished the clindamycin and 4 days later, I still have the gas and loose stools. Can't wait until it's all over. It did work on my gum infection but the infection was nothing compared to the treatment."


"I am 25 years old 5ft 9in and weighed 262lbs when I started Tenuate. I have been on it for 2 weeks now. I have not weighed yet but I have to make myself eat at first I was counting calories but couldn't eat more than 900 calories a day and that was eating 5 times a day so I just eat a little here and there. I have only experienced dry mouth. I am very hopeful I need rid of this weight maybe Tenuate will do it."


"I've been taking effexor XR for almost a year now! I suffered from post partum depression! I'm about to be 28 and had only taken an anti depressant back when I was 16 for less than a year. Negatives when starting effexor for me were insomnia and loss of appetite ! My doc prescribed me a low dose sleep aid and after 4 months of taking effexor I no longer needed the sleep aide! I'm currently on 75MGs and I'm productive, happy most days, and no more panic attacks that are unmanageable. I even gained my weight back !! This medication isn't for everyone but it worked for me! Negatives I still experience every now and then are rapid heart beat, hard to concentrate on one thing, and sometimes too much energy but can be levelled out with exercise!"


"I am 63 and this was my first colonoscopy!  I followed all of the instructions and read a lot of the reviews on here so that I could be prepared.  The first dose went down pretty well and I didn't have any trouble drinking the water.  Everything kicked in by 30 minutes and within 2 hours I was pretty cleaned out. In the morning I prepared to take the 2nd dose and thought it was going to be a breeze.  I started drinking the mixture and immediately realized this was not going to be as easy.  I got about 1/2 down when it kicked in again. I struggled to finish the entire dose and was able to get most of the water down before I experienced projectile vomiting. Luckily I was cleaned out enough and the procedure went great."


"I am trying to get off benzoids after taking clonazepam for over 36 years. I am having extreme difficulties. (extreme to the point of life-threatening)
I am using a shorter (effective) half life than the 30 to 40 hours  for clonazepam. I'm over the DTs but life is now truly hell.
.
Frankly, I'm going through a quasi-living hell. My desire to stop clonazepam stems from a desire to cut down the 'zombie' feeling all day,and sleeping the clock around.  It's been 20 days now and I'm not really sure I'm going to make it. I would advise any one thing if clonazepam (or any other benzoid)
is considered: DON'T EVEN START! You'll regret it. It has destroyed my life."


"I've been on this drug 3 days, I see most say it makes you nauseated, well the first two days I took it after eating breakfast, I had no problems, just seemed hungrier than usual. Well on the third day I decided to take it before eating, and the nausea is overwhelming! So I think the drug should be taken with food. or minutes after eating. So far I'm not eating on the 3rd day because I'm too nauseated!"


"I finally agreed to a long acting medicine to supplement my oxycodone. To make a long story short, on the 3rd day of wearing the 25mcg patch, I woke up with the most debilitating migraine I've ever experienced in my life. I called the doctor to notify him that I'd be discontinuing the medication. I didn't notice any significant change in my pain over the 3 days, and I'm too terrified of experiencing another migraine like that! (Jealous of all those that had great outcomes from using this medicine!)"


"I had my Mirena inserted one year ago. It was great at first because it really does make your period a lot lighter when you typically suffer from dysmenorrhea, which I do. However, in the last three months I have gained 15 pounds, but the weight is really just around my midsection. My breasts have swollen such that I have gone up two bra sizes (which, contrary to what one may think, is not a good thing). And worse still, morning sickness. I thought I might be pregnant, but the home tests say I am not. I have just made an appointment to have it removed because unfortunately the side effects are now affecting me on a daily basis."


"Bought this for my wife.  We read the reviews AFTER applying . . . Oh boy.  Her vag caught fire withing about 20 minutes.  I would like to shove this up the persons anus who approved this dosage and let them take it for a ride. We had to arrange the covers so it covered our whole body, but allowed her butt to hang out while cold air was being blown on it from the window.  Meanwhile, I am shuttling ice up and down the stairwell for her to apply trying to figure out just what the hell I have gotten myself into."


"I've had it for almost 2 years and have not became pregnant...so yes, it is effective..at a cost. My sex drive is gone and it's making my life horrible! My moods are  ridiculous. I have depression, anxiety irrability. Patience...what patience?! My weight is up and down I feel bloated. I get pregnancy symptoms; cravings. Really bad headaches and abdominal pain. I thought it would eventually subside but NOPE! Less than a week until removal...so so happy!"


"I had PMDD extremely bad every month for at least 2- 3 weeks out of the month. Since I've been taking Beyaz I have no more symptoms of PMDD. My periods were irregular now they are on time every month. I am so happy with this birth control. I would recommend it to anyone. Especially if you have PMDD."


"Jolessa is my favorite birth control so far.  I have tried many, including Yasmin, Depo-Provera, the patch, NuvaRing, and Beyaz.  None of these helped my acne and a few had horrible breakthrough bleeding. However, since I've been on Jolessa, I haven't experienced any negative side effects, and surprisingly my breakouts are few and far between.  When I do breakout, it's usually one pimple at a time, and heals much faster than before.  No weight gain or increased appetite and my sex drive is thriving.  No breakthrough bleeding what-so-ever.  Love it."


"It works great for Restless Legs Syndrome. I can finally sleep at night. I'm 41 and the first time I experienced RLS, I was 8. I could just do without the side effects. I'm on 2mg and I think if it was upped, my side effects would worsen. I feel sick to my stomach. I vomit at times. I've had hallucinations. It makes me feel like my blood sugar is dropping, but it's not. Just makes my body not feel right. Thinking about finding something else without these side effects."


"I want to qualify my comments by disclosing I have only been on Contrave for a week. My intention is to comment periodically as I am on the med longer.

I was very nervous about starting Contrave given what I had read about the side effects. I don%u2019t take meds very often, and I didn't like the idea of going on a recurring and long term pill. That being said, the first week on Contrave has been incredible. I will say I was food obsessed before. Thoughts of food ran through my head throughout the day, and the idea of eating was always there.

I had no idea how much mental energy I had been spending pushing those thoughts aside. Now, with Contrave, my head is clear. I no longer sit at my desk and watch the clock, waiting until it%u2019s a reasonable time to eat, or force myself to push on another hour before ultimately giving in and getting a snack.

When I do eat %u2013 and yes, I still very much enjoy the taste of food %u2013 I don%u2019t feel that same sense of urgency and elation I use to. Those feelings would often trigger binge eating.

I look forward to seeing what my future with Contrave holds, and more importantly, I am hopeful.

Again, for full disclosure%u2026 I did have mild nausea the first day I took the pill, but it was short lived, and has not recurred in subsequent days."


"I took two doses of Saxenda. The first day was great! By the 2nd day I was so sick I couldn't move. I threw up for 20 straight hours. I thought I was dying. I was really hoping this would work for me but after that experience I am very apprehensive to take it again. I did lose 5lbs vomiting. :("


"I been on sesonique for 3 month. I had been spotting every day since I started using it and I had a full blown period 2 weeks after starting using it. I love the fact I only get your period every 3 month but  the spotting is not much better.  I notice that I am get really angry sometimes for no reason and I feel sad and depressed. It also made me gain 15 lbs which its making me a bit stress out. I talk to my Dr. And she said since I'm just started this med my body had to get use to it. I'm think I'm going to wait 3 more months to c how my body adjusts to it. Also I take my pill at the same time everyday on the dot. so my spotting it's not cause by missing doses or taking it at different times"


"Hi, everyone I got the nexplanon last September in 2014 and after 8/9 months of constant bleeding even after the doctor prescribed estradiol to stop the bleeding which on last 2 weeks if that. I just had it removed yesterday August 4, 2015 because of the constant period and 13 lbs I gained that no matter how hard I worked out, ate less calories, no bread whatever and the weight wasn't coming off. I'm so happy it's out. Back to good old pills."


"I have a very high tolerance for a lot of pain medications due to pain issues. Your body always needs more and more to produce the same effect until almost nothing works.

Fortunately, this type of medication doesn't affect me that way. Although I guess it is mainly used for depression. It has worked like a charm for me to get my body to sleep much longer. And I have never had to increase the dose. The only drawback for me with this medication is that when I do wake up I am pretty groggy for about 45 minutes."


"I got pregnant on the pill so I do not recommend unless you wanna get knocked up. Lol"


"I am a 29 year old female and I have never taken a drug in my life prior to being prescribed 25mg of Sertraline (Zoloft). I was diagnosed with anxiety and panic attack. One of my panic attacks happened while I was driving to work and I was just scared to death to drive ever since for almost 6 months. I did a lot of research prior to making this drug. I was horrified of side affects and getting addicted to the drug.  Long story short, I have been on this medicine for two months now and it has completely changed my life. I can drive now without fear and I feel great again :). This drug has completely changed my life.

You do not have to be on it forever. Please, talk to your doctor and give this medicine a try.

Take care!"


"My worst nightmare started with uncontrollable sneezing in the evening which later developed into severe throat pain and musculoskeletal pain with temperatures shooting up to 103.  The physician (whom I consulted in the absence of my family physician) prescribed cefixime and Azithromycin (200 500) combination twice a day, but the progress was very slow with the temp remaining high at 103.  Fortunately, my physician returned and I consulted again and was prescribed Augmentin 625 twice a day for 3 days.  Within a day, I found excellent improvement and the second day the strep pharyngitis completely subsided."


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


"I've been taking a HCTZ in combination with blood pressure medication. So far it has worked well for water and salt retention. My blood pressure has come down from its highest point of 220/120 which is insanely high, its now at 140/80. Only complaint like the other users is constant urination at night. During the day it's not noticeable but right before sleep I'll go about 2 to 3 times."


"I had unprotected sex on the last day of ovulation and my boyfriend told me the next morning that he didn't pull out so about approximately 12 to 14 hours later I went to CVS and got a Plan B  and took it, the first week I didn't have much side effects but the second week before my period I had really bad cramps  I finally got my period four days ago, a day earlier  and I honestly wouldn't ever do this again and I have definitely learned my lesson, condoms & birth control ladies, be safe.."


"Hopefully I ve found Desoxyn and my Doctor started directly with high doses of 70 mg a day, my ADHD is totally gone, no more depression, I totally stopped smoking, I can have sex again, no more stress, no more turning around and around in a room, no more shaking my legs all day long, I can finally concentrate on  a task that I enjoy, I'm able to finally organise my  life, I clean my flat and I can work, no more brain hyperactivity. I've  also  tried before Ritalin, Dexedrine, Aderrall and Vyvanse, none helped me  my ADHD disorder.  Finally I know actually that I can live a happy Life, thats possible with DESOXYN70MG/DAY"


"I have frequent urinary tract infections and I've taken this many times but hadn't in five or so years because my urinary tract infection became resistant to it. Now since I'm taking it again its given me the jitters and acid reflux but those are still better that cystitis. "


"I had the Paragard inserted after my son was born in 2011. For 5 and a half years I loved it and recommended it to all my friends. I liked the reliability of the IUD as a non-hormonal birth control option.... until I got pregnant. Shock of my life! I had the IUD removed yesterday and am waiting to see what happens with the pregnancy."


"I have been on Ranbaxy generic Plaquenil for 11 months now. I don't think think it helps me very much, but I continue to take it because I am not experiencing any side effects. My condition is not well-controlled with this drug alone and I will soon start an additional DMARD after recently finding out I am intolerant of MTX. My battle with Sjogren's has been so much more than glandular issues. It has attacked my biliary system, causing me to lose my gall bladder and have complex issues with the pyloric valve, lower esophageal sphincter and sphincter of oddi. This causes a variety of symptoms such as bile and acid reflux, bile salt diarrhea,  nausea, vomiting up bile and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. I have signs of kidney disease too"


"I stated on Fluvoxamine 5 years ago. Then when fluvoxamine 100 mg extended release came out I switched to it.
I've been experiencing sporadic low grade fevers, intestinal cramping, diarrhea and red eyes.
I've been through years of testing and finally came up with an answer Fluvoxamine.  This medication interacts with many other medications and can cause serious and fatal side effects.  This medication is extremely hard to wean off of.
It helped my depression initially but now has caused me more depression."


"I like the convenience of it being a pill.  The other medications I've taken for ME have been injections.  Problems I'm having are thinning hair & hair loss."


"No side effects but did not provide a stiff erection."


"Finally some relief! I suffer from neck/shoulder pain due to a horrific auto accident years ago where my head hit the steering wheel so hard it bent it. I also suffer terribly from Fibromyalgia & arthritis. I have tried Vicodin, Norco, Lortab, Tramadol, Oxycodone etc. as well as Lidoderm patch with absolutely no relief. Morphine worked well but I didn't like the side effects. My doctor suggested the Flector patch and altho I had little hope -- THEY WORKED!!  They don't take the pain away completely but do take it down to a manageable level (ie, from 8/9 to 4/5). My only complaint is that I can only wear 2 patches maximum and wish I could put a patch on every pain site. They are amazing!!"


"I started taking 10mg .. and have been on it for 3 months.. Other than the being sick to my stomach..was the only side effect I had. I then started taking it at night so that I could sleep through it and it worked.. The crying and no motivation, isolating myself.. and just letting the world go by, fits of anger and yelling stopped..( my son was happy with that),,, Sadly I lost my insurance and cannot afford to pay the 300 plus a month for this medicine. And have been off it for 2 weeks now.. I am right back at square one.. With crying, and all that goes along with it... Some days I feel like I just want to give up."


"This is my second time around on Mirena. First time, I loved it. Had it taken out after 5 years and only took me weeks to get pregnant. The second time around, I am about 7 weeks into it and I am still bleeding. Heavy and light bleeding. Other than that, so far so good."


"This medication is the worst thing that ever happened to me. My pharmacy switched me over from Sprintec because they said it's the generic version with the same formula, that might be true on the label but
 it seems to react like it is completely different. I've never felt so sick off from a medication before, I have nausea every single morning I wake up and every other morning I will vomit. Sex drive is non-existent, (because I never feel good) acne weirdly increased when I switched? But that may just be due to lifestyle choices, not sure. All in all, this is the worst rubbish I've ever put into my body, if I could give it a zero I would."


"I've tried everything. Lithium is only medicine that works."


"I was prescribed this med for mild UC. I discussed concerns with my doctor on starting a medication while nursing and without trying natural approach to curing the symptoms first. He share some patience had success using turmeric supplement to address inflammation of the sigmoid colon (lower intestine and bowel). After 2 weeks on the Turmeric  my symptoms of urgency, cramping and excessive frequency to 'go' subsided. After 3 weeks, I've been having normal bowel movements and no cramping. I am happy with the progress I've made on this natural remedy."


"I've been taking contrave for 2 weeks and 3 days. Every since I started I get bad stomach cramps after I eat. It doesn't matter if it's a well proportioned healthy nutritious meal or a unhealthy meal it happens after every meal. I feel nauseous a little still and in the beginning I felt nauseous more frequently! I feel energetic, sometimes tired but that depends on my amount of sleep. For the most part I feel energetic. Since I started taking this pill I don't ever feel hungry I have to remind myself to eat every 2-3 hours or I will only eat once a day which is terrible. So all in all the side effects are not worth it. This will be my last day because the stomach cramps have become a inconvenience and make me miserable after eating."


"I've had neck pain, stiffness and tightness for over almost 3 years.  After visiting primary care physicians, orthopedics, orthopedic surgeons, pain clinics, neurologists and neuro-surgeons and have been on all kinds of medications and have had an MRI, Neck X-Rays, etc. and I finally decided to visit a Spine Specialist and WOW, I should have visited her first.  She put me on Meloxicam which I have been for two weeks and can feel a major difference.  I have not had to take pain pills, nsaids, heat/cold therapy, tens machine, etc. because this medication is working like a miracle, I am thrilled with the way I feel.  For the first time in almost 3 years I can move my neck around without cringing with pain, tightness and stiffness.  KUDOS!"


"Was using HumiraPen for a few years. At first I was thrilled because it cleared up the psoriasis almost overnight.  Made everything else more bearable within reason except for Lupus and Fibromyalgia. But ... in 12/08 I had a small boil that was handled as needed.  One week later I was found unconscious and in septic shock. That boil blew a 4 inch hole in my side. Hospital records talked of Necrotizing Faciitis/MRSA !  My rheumatologist told me that the Humira suppressed my system so much that I had no warning of such a severe infection.  I had no inflammation, fever or symptoms of any kind. BE CAREFUL...watch for the smallest skin lesion."


"I had cystic acne after I got off of depo birth control and I hadn't realized it was due to the extreme drop of estrogen in my body. So I figured I'd try to get back on birth control but try a different one. So I am now on loestrin! My acne cleared up within a month and I only get a couple pimples here and there but my skin is finally smooth! I would advise also to get a good face wash with exfoliate in it! I swear I thought it wasn't going to work but it did! Feeling much more confident."


"Tried other medicines for my GERD. Aciphex has been my salvation for 12 years and is worshiped by me. "


"I am a 39 yo woman, diagnosed with ADHD, inattentive type, this past summer, about three days after my son was diagnosed ADHD.  After a consultation with a psychopharmacologist, I started taking Vyvanse about three months ago.  I also take 100 mg of Neurontin 3x daily, which keeps any anxiety issues I may have (an issue that can be magnified by the Vyvanse) at bay.  I couldn't be happier with the Vyvanse--started at 30 mg and am now at 50.   Realizing that I had ADD changed my life--suddenly, my difficulties all made sense!  The pill isn't magic--but taking it daily has given me the ability to use the tools I knew I should use and couldn't before (things like a calendar, or my checkbook register, or a budget, or a watch...)."


"A tried and true fever reducer, why waste your money on anything shiny"


"Very helpful for performance anxiety when taken together with 0.5mg Xanax, no more racing heart, palpitation, sweating hands, running out of the room feeling when doing presentation in front group of people, better than propanolol since this does not cause wheezing on me."


"I have been taking low dose mirtazapine (3.75 mgs) for about 10 wks now for anxiety, insomnia and mild depression. I was prescribed this after being unable to tolerate SSRI anti depressants and having a very bad reaction to Lexapro. Mirtazapine has worked well for insomnia and I started noticing improvements in anxiety levels and mood within 3-4 wks of starting.  I initially had a mild increase in appetite but no weight gain, and my appetite is now normal. The drawback to this med is daytime fatigue/groggy sensation that does not lift until late afternoon. I was told this would improve with time, but it has not. For this reason I will likely taper off the med soon - not something I can put up with long term despite being effective for insomnia/anxiety."


"I am on 600 mg morning, 600 mg mid day and 1200 mg at bedtime for nerve pain (complex regional pain syndrome), I notice little relief. A lot of side effects, sleepy, foggy minded just to name a few. I have been on it for almost 6 months, started at 300mg 3 times a day. Hoping for relief."


"Very effective antibiotic--cleared symptoms within 24 hours. Side effects are terrible. You will feel like you have the stomach flu or food poisoning--fever, chills, and extreme nausea. I would recommend taking it with a big meal. I feel marginal (not wonderful) eating a big lunch and taking it, but eating a relatively small dinner and taking the pill 3 hours later, I spent the night thinking I had another illness besides the infection. Probably will ask for a different antibiotic if this happens again. Aside from slight nausea, I never react to medications, and this is all new to me."


"Had rapid wt. gain. Headache & fatigue. I was able to get it free."


"I have been using Duac gel for 9 days now and my advice to anyone would be to persevere. I have very sensitive skin so was expecting some sort of reaction to the gel. After day 3 my skin was so red and sore. I moisturised throughout the day and this has really helped the patches of dry skin. On day 4 I only applied the gel for an hour and the next night didn't apply it to the worst area. Now on day 9 the redness has completely gone and my skin looks better than it has in years, I am so happy that I didn't give up on day 3 and that is mainly because of the reviews below. There is a chance that it will be painful that first week but don't give up! Will provide another review once I have used it for 2 months - can't wait to see the changes!"


"I have used Flexeril for about 9 years now. It works great to ease my muscle pain and spasms. A lot of people have trouble with it making them sleepy but I have never had that trouble. I can take during the day with no drowsiness at all which is really nice. However it would be nice if it made me a little sleepy on the nights I am having trouble. It is a great medication and I am very grateful for it."
