"I started the pill on 10/9/15 I was 172.2 at the doctors, I'm a 24 year old female, 4"11 tall, weighed myself today 10/29/15 and I'm 11 pounds lighter! I'm 161.3!  No cravings for sweets which I have/had a HORRIBLE sweet tooth, stopped eating fast food as much, cut it out more than half, can't wait to see more progress. I work 6 days a week as a stylist and have a 5 year old in school full time, working out is hard but I try to fit 30 min in either in the morning or at night, I use myfitnesspal to track my calorie intake, 1200 a day mostly less, dry mouth but as long as I drink my water all day I'm good. Will update next month!"


"I just got mine today. I am 38 years old. I have some bone on bone. I found a great doctor.  They marked my knees...sprayed something to numb it. BAM NO PAIN, I FELT MORE PRESSURE THAN ANYTHING. Walking out, I felt AWESOME. NO CREAKING IN THE KNEES AND I AM ONLY ON VISIT ONE. CAN'T WAIT."


"Period, and ovulation cramps are gone yay! I spotted for the first month and half though. I notice an increase in back acne but face acne there are no differences. Haven't gotten pregnant yet and its been about 6 months so I say its doing its job! No increase in weight, headaches, breast tenderness, depression, or sex drive. In fact my sex drive is nonexistent but I'm gonna say thats not related since it started to decrease before getting it. I have no complaints really, except that it was really painful to get and the bar left a purple mark where the insertion site was so it will most likely scar. I was the first person in my small town to receive one, the doctor called me her guinea pig so maybe that had to do why it hurt so bad."


"It was effective and I am relieved that it worked for me. I am allergic to codeine so this is a great alternative."


"Worked okay, and then stopped working about 4-5 months in. Good for anxiety however I gained about 25lbs on this medicine. Hard to be happy and have tons of fun when you look like tons of fun."


"I really have nothing bad to say besides after insertion I got TERRIBLE cramps, I normally do get cramps when on my period so cramping was very uncomfortable. Insertion hurts but was not nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be. I have not been on any birth control prior to this and I love not having to take a pill but I have had consistent spotting for just over a month now which is starting to get frustrating. Other than that I LOVE it and highly recommend!!!"


"On Contrave and Scale Down for about 6 months, down 47 pounds. Some side effects at first, none now. I plan to continue until the job is done. I'm thankful this medication became available."


"I have severe insomnia. I wanted to try a new drug because my Dr. suggested it. No way will I take another 10 mg tablet. It took 2 hours to take effect. I started feeling sleepy so I crawled into bed. Within 30 min of laying down, my body was unable to move but my mind was racing. I tried to tell my husband what was happening and I couldn't get the words out. It lasted about 10 hours. I had a hard time getting up. I have been confused and foggy all day. I will never do it again."


"Great medication!"


"I have been on lolo for 2 years and 4 months. The first year an a half was amazing. I had very light periods, didn't gain any weight, 0 acne, and no extreme moodswings that I could attribute to the lolo. Unfortunately, about 9 months ago I started getting 2-3 days of spotting in the middle of the month, which wasn't such a problem.. Unfortunately, the past 2 months the spotting has been more like a full blown heavy period. I'm probably going to take a break from this pill but I'm so so sad because it was so awesome for such a long time."


"Severe reaction, but I am allergic to sulfur based drugs. Lasted under a week. Shakes gone first few days, but came back as I developed a reaction."


"Well I've been this birth control pill for about a year now. When I 1st started this pill... I broke out really bad. Acne was horrible ! My stomach gutted so bad from cramping. I felt nauseous a lot. About after two weeks on the pill symptoms got better. Everything was normal. My cycle was lighter. Cleared acne. Only time I would get acne was close to my monthly cycle. The pill does work against pregnancy which is great but the emotions and weight gain is the bad part about the pill. Within this year being on this pill I packed on at least 25 pounds. I'm thinking about switching off birth control completely tho. I'm always ready to cry about everything!"


"Fantastic for Xanax Withdrawals. 12 years on Xanax, 4 months trying to come off. Worst 4 months of my life. Baclofen solved it overnight.

Blurred vision & dizziness is a small price to pay.

90% of inpatient rehab industry could be replaced my Baclofen."


"I had nexplanon for almost 2 years after having my son. It was great from 18 months or so with no bleeding but noticed lack of sex drive, mood swings, and extreme exhaustion with no ability to sleep at night. I had it taken out weeks ago bc I bled 3 wks out of the month for a few months with horrible breast tenderness and cramps like never before. I still have all the symptoms but shirt periods frequently instead of long ones. I can't say I wouldn't recommend bc everyone is different but I'm not ok with any extra hormones in my body anymore."


"Due to a drunk driver hitting me when I was 17, I now suffer from precipitating migraines which is due to blood in my spinal column. I am allergic to traditional migraine medicines so Lortabs are the only medicines I can depend on to actually help me. I do not take large doses but do take it consistently when I have an attack and truth be told, I would not be able to make it through the simplest of days without it. Please drink a lot of water and fluids and it will make you constipated. Stool softeners will also help. "


"Iv'e been taking this medication for about 1 1/2 months or a bit longer. I have
been having a a lot of bowel movements, stomach discomfort, went from weighing
123 lbs to 98 lbs, not to mention feeling dizzy, and fatigue, just left a message
with my doctors reception desk, and I'm hoping I get a call back today, with
a reply to my message."


"I've been on this medication for about a week now and I must say that out of all other medications I have been on, Vraylar is working pretty well. The only side effects that I have experienced has been an upset set stomach. I'm sleeping better and hopefully it continues."


"I've been taking Pristiq for almost a year.  I feel the best I've ever felt.  I have had a huge spike in cholesterol and am on medicine now to control.  It is a recognized side effect. If I miss one day, I'm really messed up emotionally and physically.  My head feels funny and I have uncontrollable sadness and anxiety.  Once I take the medicine at my next dose all those feelings go away.  If I ever need or decide to go off this medicine I will make sure to take it extremely slow."


"Pharmacist."


"I have had my Skyla IUD for 4 months now. I have no children, The pain to get it inserted was not too bad. After about a month of having it, I would get the worst cramps I have ever got, up to now I haven't got my period. I spot sometimes but other then that I have gained about 15/20 pounds after I got it, I get horrible cramps even though I'm not on my period and I'm always moody. The skyla was not the right choice for me. I'm getting it removed this week. I know I will be relieved."


"It's only day 2 of this medication (and I haven't taken my morning dose) and I am in tears, feeling panic-ridden, and sick to my stomach. About an hour after taking the pill I have severe headaches and the worst nausea I've ever had. I'm not looking forward to continuing the rest of the pills but from the reviews people generally seem to agree that it works, it's just an awful experience getting through the medication. Will update when complete meds."


Magnesium sulfate / potassium sulfate / sodium sulfate

"Surprep is the most horrible tasting colon preparation that I have EVER encountered.  I had to use a straw and gagged and my eyes watered after each sip.  I see no reason for anything to taste so bad.  I have had previous colonoscopies and never had a problem with the prep solution.  My new goal in life is to warn everyone about how horrible this stuff tastes and get them to ask their doctor for an alternate solution."


"No obvious side effects. Worked well, but insurance has stopped coverage."


"I got the Skyla inserted in November of 2015 due to my doctor thinking it was a better option for me since I am forgetful of the pill. The birth control part has done well but the side effects and pain of it is totally not worth 3-5 years of birth control. I have not felt myself ever since and My periods are excruciating. I used to never cramp and now I feel terrible when I am about to start and start my period. Not to mention the weight I have gained on it. I have gained about 20lbs since then. I have dieted, worked out, and taken weight loss pills and nothing seems to help. I will be contacting my doctor to have it removed in the next day or two. It is not worth it in my opinion. I will be going back on the pill after I have it removed."


"Has helped so far. Just made the switch from Lisinopril to Norvasc, due to dry cough. No side effects to speak of so far."


"My only complaints about this medicine are that it gave me a profoundly spaced out feeling for about three hours after I took it and it had to be taken with food, otherwise I loved it! It really helped with my paranoia and anxiety during the day. It didn't cause any weight gain and helped stabilize my mood. I only discontinued because I went on Saphris and the two do not mix."


"I've taken about every Pill on the market, and this is by far the best. I've never had a problem with my drive while on this formulation of the Pill. Actually, my drive is more normal than it's been than with the other pills, especially the Ortho line and Seasonale. I have had no side effects other than my appetite has increased, but there is a such thing as self-control, so other than watching what and how often I eat, I love Apri!"


"Very pleased with Trulance. Have been dealing with crazy symptoms from other treatments, I asked my doctor and he told me about this. Works great and I have not had any side effects."


"I have been taking this medication for 36 hours, in the first 12 I had bad nausea but that has since past, the pain from 2 abscess  has subsided, I still have severe swelling in the face which I am slowly controlling with ice I have a feeling the abscess has broken as I have an awful taste in my mouth. My suggestion is take as prescribed drink lots of water and sleep as much as you can to help your body recover. Good luck everyone"


"I have tried everything from tricyclics,  serzone lexapro,  Welbutrin,  celexa, everthing under the sun. I just recently started on prozac about 2 weeks ago  (straight from lexapro) and the results have been amazing! I  sleep well,  my dreams are pleasant now and my brain doesn't over analyze everything.  I  wake up early feeling good which I  haven't in years.  I have ambition and energy, get shit done and look for more to do. Finally something that works! I  haven't had the opportunity to see if there are any sexual side effects yet but hopefully soon! Lol."


"Ended up with a pretty bad UTI Friday afternoon & unable to see my primary Doctor that same day. I knew the symptoms as such since I had experienced one UTI's in the past (2). By Saturday the next morning I was sitting in the lobby of walk in clinic in desperation. I was seen by Doctor & prescribed Nitrofurantoin 100mg 1 tab every 12 hours. I am not a big advocate of pill popping, but I knew this was serious. I have to say that within 6 hours of taking my 1st dose, I was already feeling a bit of relief. I'm on my 3rd day & pain is gone!!. The only symptom I have noticed is an occasional headache & kind of a lethargic overall feeling. Other than that I am really happy that I'm on the road to a full recovery."


"I was given Versed pre-surgery for a D & C and within minutes I was vomiting violently. The surgery had to be cancelled due to my extreme reaction. I was dry heaving for 4 hours and was sick for days. I had terrible vertigo and very loud ringing in my ears. That was 5 months ago and I'm still being treated for vertigo and tinnitus. I was told by my ENT that the drug probably caused a disconnect between my ears and my brain. I am going to therapy and it is helping some. I could not drive for 3 months and am driving again. I'm always slightly dizzy and the loud high pitched sound in my head may be permanent. I was never told about the negative effects before taking this drug."


"I am amazed at the effectiveness of methadone. I've spent the last three years in serious back pain due to a bad disc which ultimately led to back surgery. We tried everything under the sun. I can't believe how good I feel....no ups and downs, no weird "highs" (which I hated the most about pain medicines) and no more feeling like I'm losing my mind. I've never felt so strongly about posting a review before. I am ever grateful to the creators of this pain medicine."


Undifferentiated Connective Tissue Disease

"When taking this medicine, in the first week I had stomach pains and severe ringing in the ears. It also makes me feel exhausted."


"After suffering with this condition for 50 years, I'm very thankful this medicine is available and it works terrific."


"I had my second gout attack in 3 years. It was just my ankle and my right leg and like the others here it was excruciating. I was this close to going to the emergency room. I toughed it out, I still don't know why, and went to the doctor the very next morning. She prescribed indomethacin and I only took 1 x 50 milligram pill. Within 90 minutes I could feel the pain easing. Within 2 hours I could walk easily. By that night I was so pain free I was even able to coach my son's baseball game. No side effects. No weird feelings. Best of all, I have 40 of these wonder pills left!"


"I was put on gabapentin right after back surgery on my L4 L5 S1 S2 lower lumbar spine. After 2 years from surgery I still remain on this medicine due to permanent nerve damage.  This medicine managed to calm my nerves at night and get rid of the pain allowing me to fall asleep.  I am on 200 mg a night but sometimes only need 100mg.  It has been a lifesaver.  I don't take this during the day due to the drowsiness side effect but it works wonderful.  I do wake up extremely thirsty though."


"I like this birth control. I hardly ever get cramps on it and I don't really get any side effects on it. Also my boobs got bigger, which my boyfriend likes. I've always had clear skin and that's stayed the same on this pill."


"I am thankful for all who have taken the time to post tips and tricks. My colonoscopy was today, & I'll add my hints in hopes of helping others. 1) Make sure the Suprep is chilled in the refridge for an hour or two, & mix with cold water. 2) Drink it with a straw  3) This stuff is VERY salty, and so was difficult to choke down. Other reviews suggest sips of soup or soda between sips of Suprep, so I tried both. Drinking Squirt soda worked best for me, with sips of water every once in awhile.  4) Had an 8 oz. bottle of cold water & took sips out of this as well. (Counts towards the 32 oz. you must drink afterwards.) 5) After drinking & before the action starts grease your rear with A&D Ointment to stave off butt rash.  Good luck!!"


"I know its off-label, but it works. I have atopic dermatitis in my arms and legs and it goes away when I take it and comes back when I don't."


"My Doctor gave me the starter pack for my depression and Anxiety I took the whole first weeks dose by sheer force of will. It was the worst thing I've ever taken and I've been on a few for my problems but I got symptoms on day one with this one and every day they got worse. Day one I started having major panic attacks one in my sleep so bad that I wet the bed as embarrassing as that is day two I got the poops out of no where I was fine sat down And it just came out it was Horrifying that there was no sign or symptom that I needed to go. That caused another attack. They next few days my mood got hostile, aggravated, and then drunk like. My body also did things like a drunk person including slurred speech stumbling and falling over"


"I am 22 and have been taking prozac for almost two months now. Before I started taking it, my life was a wreck. There were only two weeks out of every month when I felt semi-normal/happy. The rest of the time, I was miserable. I would lay in my bed and cry, thinking my life was ending for no reason. There was nothing bad happening in my life, but my mind would make me think everyone hated me and that I was disgusting. I was overemotional all the time and constantly to torturing myself with sad thoughts.

I put off going to see a psychiatrist for so long because of the stigma. I regret it so much. Had I gone on this medication sooner, so many of my relationships could have been saved and I could have been truly enjoying my life."


"Caused anxiety, panic attacks and rash."


"I honestly started taking this pill and loved it. I wasn't getting any acne or weight gain; however 3 months into taking this pill my periods suddenly stopped. My periods stopped but I was still having cramps. It's actually become very concerning."


"I am only on my sixth day of the titration sample pack and really haven't noticed any improvements.  My doctor just took me off Cymbalta cold turkey that same day that I started taking Savella.  So, I would assume all the "terrible" feelings I've been feeling are due to withdrawals from the Cymbalta.  My pain has actually been worse right now to the point of not feeling like even moving.  I still feel tired but not to the point of either risking just falling over from exhaustion or laying down for a nap right then, since I've started the Savella.  I'm sleeping okay at night.  One difference I have noticed is a feeling like I want to sneeze and my nose has been running like crazy but, could be due to allergy season. I'll keep trying it."


"I'm 15, have Aspergers, use it 20mg every day. Cant live without."


"I'm pregnant with twins and after 6 weeks I started having severe nausea and at 10 weeks the vomiting came along my doctor prescribed diclegis.. It works the only downfall is the after taste....I have this horribly bitter taste in my mouth. I don't even know which is better the nausea or the bitter taster"


"Never knew how powerful this drug is until I tried to replace it with Cymbalta. Within 2 days of switching, my anxiety was sky high and my depression was so severe that I literally was suicidal. Went back on it and these symptoms subsided quickly. By no means this is the perfect drug but it seems to be a bit better than others. I wish it would control anxiety better. I have to take lorazepam to control anxiety fully."


"This medicine worked while I was taking it, but when my doctor stopped my use... the withdrawals were AWFUL!  Be VERY careful!  It was the worst thing I had ever been through in my life!  He took me slowly off the medicine, but that did not matter... I've heard others with the same repsonse as myself."


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


"First 4 months I had a period every 2 weeks, extreme bloating (15lbs), very tender breasts but those all went away. After this my periods evened out to every 28 days. I had some mild acne and my PMS and cramps were very, very mild. About a year in I went off these pills because I was very depressed and suicidal. I had also developed severe insomnia, social anxiety and was constantly freezing. Within days of being off these pills my depression disappeared (I have never been depressed before), I'm warm at a temperature below 78degrees and I can sleep.

I can't have estrogen so these pills were a god send for my severe PMS and cramps, but the mental side effects were horrible and developed slowly. Be careful."


"Life Saver for my Spasmodic Torticollis/Cervical Dystonia ! After about 2 weeks on this medication, I was able to hold my head upright again! I haven't seen many positive reviews on this med for the relief of this condition, so I wanted to let anyone suffering with this, to give this medicine a shot! I take the liquid form of this med, so I do not know if this perhaps makes any difference.  I had to abruptly stop taking this a few years ago when I was hospitalized for another condition, and almost immediately, my symptoms reappeared. It was awful! But, within a week of resuming medication, my head returned to normal position. I would HIGHLY recommend this medication.  I do not have any major side effects from this medication either.  So grateful my Neurologist prescribed it!"


"I've had it for a year now, I'm 23 and have not had kids. Months 1-3 sucked  seriously, I was miserable, had no energy, still got my period, felt sick, loss of appetite etc.. After about 4 months it got a little better. I do love that you don't have to worry about it for 3 years, I loved my old BC but taking the pills every day at the same time was a bit annoying. Now after almost exactly 1 year all my month 1-3 side effects are back. Sick feeling, tired (I could sleep all day and night, some days I have) I'm highly considering getting this thing out of me! I've read a lot about people having way more energy as soon as they got it out. (Keep in mind every woman's body will react differently)"


"I have been on the medication about a month now. Fortunately, I have not had any headaches and the chest pain is gone for the most part. The side effects I have had are dizziness, sweats, feeling faint. So far, the good is outweighing the bad."


"Had a cyst like spot thing on my chin that lasted for 3 years. Would come and go, always raising its ugly head. I got this cream from my GP, used it for one month and any recurring spots have not completely gone. Its been nearly a year and clear skin! Very very happy with the results.

It does cause your skin to dry out when you use it and can be a little red but this goes down after a few days. Worth it for the end result."


"I have been taking Zyrtec for almost 6 years. I was first prescribed Zyrtec to combat my allergies during pregnancy. It worked well except to make me a little drowsy. I only take it seasonally, and it still works well for my symptoms, but the fatigue and drowsiness has gotten worse over time. When I started taking it again for my Spring/Summer allergies this year, the first week was horrible. Even taking it at night I felt so fatigued the next day my muscles ached, and I had to fight to stay awake during the day with my 2 little ones at home. I would fall asleep as soon as my husband got home and sleep 14-15 hours. After about a week my body seemed to adjust and the drowsiness isn't as bad anymore."


"Today is my first day of taking Contrave.  I am a 52 year old male and I weigh 321 pounds.  I have struggled with my weight for sometime now.  I have been very nervous about the side effects, but I took my first dose today.  I wish everyone the best and may you all stay healthy."


"This replaced Benzosiazepines and Sleeping pills, gives better rest, improved sex drive, decidedly improved social life. I'm 46m, prescribed 15mg x2 daily. Others noted the improvements first. I had no untoward side effects other than dry mouth and a few lingering panic attacks per month easily handed by low dose Xanax 0.5 mg. Various SSRI's along the way didn't help with depression this much. 5 years running. It works good."


"I was scheduled to get my mirena IUD, so like most of you on the site, I did my research and read every review possible! I freaked myself out bad. So my appointment comes around and I was sitting on the bed shaking with fear. My doctor comes in and gets me prepped and begins the insertion process. During the whole process I didn't even feel hardly anything. It felt like a child was sitting on my lower abdomen, didn't even hurt, it was just pressure. Easy and very very tolerable pressure. When I got home I just took a midol with some  Ibuprofen  and I was set for the whole night. The next day I had mild cramps but it wasn't bad.
I spotted for 3 weeks and thats it! I am now period free! *recommend you are on your period when you get it inserted"


"I have frequent upsodes of dysuria, either due to bacterial UTI or of unknown origin. Phenazopyridine (Azo) gives me rapid relief."


"I've been on Dilaudid for 15  years for back injury and illness called Wegner's granulomatosus. Started out at 2mg and over the years I'm now at 4mg's 4 times a day. It is a great pain reliever. I am able to function normally as anyone else without any side affects. "


"Taking 1/2 a 5 mg tablet which has reduced the number of times I needed to go to toilet.
I find that vesicare causes blurry vision, memory. Some memory problems and dry mouth. I take Movicol am and pm ( laxative)  and Biotene for dry mouth and also feel somewhat tired and lack motivation. I hope in 3 month when I trial not taking it for 2 weeks will work as the side effects and the price of tablets make me short tempered."


"I had been on Pulmicort on and off, but had to stop using it because it gave me terrible leg cramps at night. Prior to starting Asmanex, my asthma had gotten worse, and I was using my rescue inhaler six or seven times a day. Since starting Asmanex, I have only used my rescue inhaler once in three months. I haven't noticed any side effects either. I may just be one of the lucky ones, but my quality of life has improved immensely since I started using this "wonder drug"."


"I am writing this review for the sake of all women who are iffy on this product. I was apprehensive to skyla ONLY because of what I read online. Despite my doctor assuring me this was the best option for me, I still was not 100% on skyla. I am one month post-insertion and I am so happy I decided to go with Skyla. I am 19 years old, and I have struggled with birth control since it was present in my life. I cannot be on the combined pill due to the migraines with aura (visual changes) I get and I struggle with acne so the POP pill is not for me. I decided to go with skyla and I'm very pleased. Insertion (for me) was a bad cramp that lasted no more than 5 seconds. Spotting/cramps continued for about a month after but now I'm good."


"When I started this medication, I actually thought I either had the flu or food poisoning because the side effects were so bad that I didn't realize it was just from the aubra.  I had severe stomach issues, sweating, and as the week went on, I had vision problems and an extreme headache that was getting worse instead of better.  Thanks to other reviews on this site, I realized that it could be from this pill and stopped taking it.  I already feel much better."


"I'm 48 and have fibromyalgia, been taking amitriptyline for 10 yrs to manage the pain. Since being on the medication, started losing the normal morning erections, my Dr believed this was a side effect of the medication. As I got into my 40's it started to take longer to achieve an erection and slowly became where it would not last.  It finally got to a point where I could not maintain an erection during intercourse. Then as of 4 months ago I could not even have sex, could not reach ejaculation. So I talked with my Dr. and ran the usual blood work which came back fine. I had a testosterone level of 950, normal blood pressure and cholesterol, etc.  I took 5mg tablet and instantly I was hard and lasted for close to 2 hrs. Problem solved."


"This stuff is amazing. During my teen years I struggled with severe acne, and now that I am 24, it is improved a lot but I still get quite a bit of painful cystic acne on my chin. I use the Benzaclin morning and night. This cleared up my acne FAST. My cystic pimples used to take weeks to clear up, but overnight the size and redness was greatly reduced. Since I always breakout on my chin, I use this every night all over my chin, and spot treat in the morning if necessary. Other than that I just use Cetaphil cleanser and moisturizer for dry skin. It works! I never thought I'd see the day where I have no acne!"


"I am a pre-diabetic. I have been taking Victoza for about 2 weeks. This is amazing! I am never hungry. I take it in the afternoon and the nausea seemed to disappear.  When I eat, it's small meals (very small) and I don't have the urge to snack at night!  I feel like I had lap band surgery or something. I hope it keeps working like it is now."


"I suffer frequent depression when negative events occur in my life. Prozac is a miracle that enables me to pick myself up before my bouts of depression become obvious to others eg. work, friends etc. Totally recommend use of this medicine to combat thoughts of hopelessness. I am now able to manage my life when I suspect a period of depression is looming. Thanks to the designer of this medicine."


"This is the second time I'm taking this pills. The first time I lost 30 pounds in just a few short weeks. Now I've been on them for almost a month now and I've lost 17 pounds. Theses pills really help curb your appetite and I don't even think of eating."


"I've been diagnosed with rhabdomiolitis. The pain it brought was excruciating - 15 on a scale of 1 to 10.

The rheumatologist ordered an initial dose of 4 mg by IV (this is an unusually high dose, the pharmacy double checked with the doctor before releasing the medicine). Subsequent doses were only 2 mg.

Dilaudid took away ALL of my pain within 60 seconds. The relief lasted through the night, allowing me a full night of sleep. Hydromorphone, the tablet form, is far less effective than I.V. In fact, I was down right disappointed with the tablets. They seemed to do nothing at all for the pain. It's hard to believe that hydromorphone tablets and Dilaudid I.V. are the same medicine.

I will request for my doctor to prescribe the Dilaudid injections."


"Good strength and quality."


"After using it the night before, major difference the following morning."


"I Took my last birth control active pill 2 days late. Had unprotected sex March 1st on my placebo week, 2 days before my period was due and 36 hours later took plan b. 5 days later On March 6th I was spotting and bleeding very light more like a brown discharge for 4 days. My period finally came yesterday March 30th. I freaked out the whole month and took 5 pregnancy tests and they were all negative. The pill works!!! You just have to be patient."


"After having an accident at work a few years ago I wasn't falling asleep until the sun came up because of chronic pain.  My muscle relaxers and pain medicines were no longer giving me enough relief to sleep at night so my doctor put me on Ambien CR.  After about 2 weeks I had to stop taking it because I was hallucinating, I was suffering from severe anxiety, I had tremors, I don't have enough room here to list everything.  I am now on Restoril and I don't have any side effects at all."


"About 2 months ago my skin started to break out really bad out of no where. I have had breakouts in the past but nothing like this. At first I thought it was an allergic reaction. I work in the operating room and wear surgical masks most of the day. I decided to go to the dermatologist and she prescribed me Ziana. She told me I had adult acne and that it was not an allergic reaction.Within one week my skin was much clearer. It has now been 2 weeks and the results have been great. A small amount on dry skin here and there but that is the only complaint. I am very pleased and hope the great results continue."


"Thank goodness for this medication.  I could probably not live a normal life without it.  I have so many fewer panic attacks while on it.  I have tried almost everything.  This is the only one that works for me.  It also helped my father.  He was on it until the day he died."


"Our 16 year old son was diagnosed with Bipolar and placed on many medicines that made him worse. Once he started on Lamictal, he is making wonderful progress, having clearer thinking and more stable moods. He stated that the medicine is really helping him. He has been on this medicine for several months at a low dosage and we are seeing our son come back!"


"I've been on trintellix for 10 weeks now, roughly. I was on 5mg for awhile, now on ten. At first the nausea was unbearable and all it really did was stop me from getting overwhelmingly sad as often but now I've found that I'm more outgoing and capable of trying my best even in uncomfortable situations. The nausea is still there but it becomes super tolerable and gravol is a lifesaver. The only time it became a problem is when I was sick, I vomited non-stop, I had bronchitis so apparently the throat pain mixed with nausea was to blame. Still, overall trintellix has done wonders for my mental health and I'm hoping the majority of others can agree or find another medication that will do for you, what trintellix has done for me."


"I love this pill! I have been taking birth control for over two years now. The first few months I was on Lo Loestrin Fe, I wasn't crazy about it, so I switched over to Microgestin 1\20 Fe and my period is perfect. I know exactly what day its coming and what time its coming, it's like clockwork. I take the pill around the same time every day and have had no problems! I love it and highly suggest this birth control. Periods are two and a half days and its spotting."


"I've been taking this for about 10 years now. It works well for me. I am now taking 225 mg. per night. The only thing I worry about is dependence which I know I am. But, it allows me to sleep for about 5 hours nightly."


"I have had three injections for my Low red blood cell production by bone marrow. I feel more energetic after the injection and for several days after. By the third, fourth, or fifth day I feel as tired as before the beginning of treatment. Each week the energy seems to last longer. I felt faint on the fifth day after the third injection. I recovered in about an hour and a half."


"I used Zelnorm and it was the best thing for my constipation.  I hate that they took it off the market. Nothing works as good as Zelnorm.  Now, I deal with the pain, cramps being bedridden for half a day due to constipation. I wish they would bring it back."


"I had previously been on a 10-day cycle of Cefuroxime to battle an annoying nasal infection with post-nasal drip. The Cefuroxime didn't really work and the infection came back. This time a different doctor at the clinic prescribed amoxicillin and on the second day, it's gone. Just like that."


"Never again. Ever. This is probably the 10th time I've taken dulcolax and each time is worse than the last. This time I took 2 tablets at 130 AM and got woken up at 730 AM. feeling extremely sick. Usually I would lay in bed and wait for it to pass, but not this time. I began to have violent vomiting while my stomach turned upside down! At this point I was vomiting while trying to not soil myself (which is a very unpleasant experience especially after first thing waking up). After BARELY having a bowel movement I crawled back into bed into the fetal position hoping it would be over soon. This is when the cramps began. The cramps from this medicine were the worst I've EVER experienced in my life. STAY AWAY FROM DULCOLAX! Stick with miralax!"


"Was started on this because of extremely heavy bleeding and also birth control. I have nothing negative to say. It's been 2 years and have been enjoying it. Took about 2 months for the bleeding to slow down, and now its literally spotting to non existence with little to no cramps."


"I loved taking Dexilant. It stopped my heartburn and acid reflux immediately. After about a year I think I linked it to chronic chest pain symbolic of a heart attack. This medication worked for my irritable bowel syndrome too, I was not constantly in the bathroom and began feeling normal again. Unfortunately my Dr changed my medicines to see if my chest and side pain would go away. Now its just a waiting process again. When switching meds I also noticed my acid reflux came back worse then before though. I have mixed feelings but for acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome I believe its a miracle but if my pains are related to Dexilant I would have to drop my rating some."


"I have been on Contrave for about 4 months and I have also been on a strict diet as well. It hasn't helped me at all. I haven't lost any weight at all. I had severe headaches during the initial phases of increasing dosages and after stabilized dosages I haven't seen any difference at all. I read that if it didn't show any difference within the first couple of months then it was most likely not effective for you. Considering another option. One positive thing though is the free scale from the scale down program, however the constant hounding and text messages gets old very quickly."


"I have been the guinea pig, like most of us who suffer from anxiey, depression, ocd tendencies, etc.  I have tried more "psych" meds then I care to count.  Some did nothing.  Some made me physically sick.  One made me homicidal.  I have never been a fan of narcotics.  They too do not agree with me.  After herniated disc/back surgery 3 years ago, Dr said I needed to take at least something.  So I got Tramadol.  200mg a day. If I had pain, I was too calm and happy to notice.  Life was great!  I had energy and focus.  I was on this regimen for about 20 days.  About the third day into not taking Tramadol, I felt like hell!  Talked with PCP who pulled me off lexapro and now I take this.  Do have .5mg xanax for bad panic attacks.  I feel amazing!"


"I want to encourage anything who is sitting on the fence to give this medication a try. For years I had debated about going on medication for anxiety, instead I was always trying to find natural remedies and involved in intensive psychotherapy. While the therapy was incredibly helpful in many areas of my life the anxiety persisted. I tried this medication and am so incredibly happy that I did. The first two days were unpleasant, felt like I had a cold and my sleep was not great. After the first few days my sleep returned to normal and the only major symptoms I experienced was sweating and some erectile challenges. I have been on the medication for over a month now and the sweating has reduced substantially and minimum concerns with erection"


"Tussionex is worth it. I'm 16 years old. Got good old bronchitis and doctor said borderline pneumonia. This is a great medication. Use as directed by doctor. No side effects."


"I thought Prazosin had been a life saver. Had very vivid nightmares that occured regularly. But was always very sceptical about how long this would stay effective. Well, one summer night my nightmares had come back. But was happy that I went pretty much nightmare free for close to a year. But remember, this medication did not eliminate them completely and with talking to other members of my Battalion it didn't completely eliminate them. I guess my Psychiatrist is going to try me on a marijuana based medication this month. Will keep you updated!! Go to meetings, talk about it with others who experienced it, it does eventually help!!"


"Took one pill and all the side effects manifested ... full blown. Another on a long list of wonder drugs that give me the full blown side effects.  My doctor put me on a couple of the old stand-bys and I'm doing pretty good."


"Helps me with being able to go out without thinking everyone is looking or talking about me, more confident and less hot flushes and palpitations, however all I do is sleep. I'm going to bed about 8 at night and waking up at half 7, almost falling asleep during work. Great for people who can't sleep well but for me I don't want to spend the rest of my life in bed! Also I would advise not to drink alcohol with this, seriously blank outs no matter how much you drink. You don't realize till the next morning that you can't remember a thing which is a horrible experience. Going to try to come off this gradually."


Amoxicillin / clarithromycin / lansoprazole

"I am having side effects like fast heart beat, not able to sleep, diarrhea, vaginal itching. I feel it has many side effects and they will occur depending on the person.
"


"I'm writing this review to calm the minds of others who are in the same boat I was until today (the day I got my period). I have taken Plan B on 4 separate occasions in my life- split up over seven years. This last time was different for a few reasons: I was ovulating during intercourse, used the pull out method, and was over the supposed 175 lb "weight limit". Timeline: First day of last period- March 19. Day I had sex- March 29th. Day I took plan B- March 30th (14 hours later).  The  day I got my period- April 11th. I had cramping the entire 12 days after taking Plan B before getting my period, different from the last three times I'd taken it in my life. My advice: RELAX. Take it ASAP after sex. And get a Z Pack to protect against STDs as well."


"I got perscribed this for mood swings during that time of the month rather than for birth control. So far it hasn't impressed me to much. I've been on it for 3 weeks now and my skin is usually very clear, but within 2 days of starting Sprintec I started severely breaking out and nothing will clear it up. As far as my mood swings, it works pretty well but every now and then I get really depressed and that's not normal for me. Lastly I've only thrown up like 3 times in my life but as soon as I started taking this I've been super nauseous every day and every other night or so I wake up and have to throw up. Maybe its affecting me more because I'm 15 but it's not been too great."


"Hi I had the paragrad for 7 years it was awesome ! It didint hurt getting it in or the removal I loved it I did cramp when I excersied and sex was sometimes pain full certain positions and the only real annoying thins was the discharge out of no where but and a big but it was great no weaight gain No acne nothing no mood swings but I started having cyst in my ovaries and the iud wasint the cause but it wasint helping either so I had it removed but had I not had a cyst I would still have it "


"One of the worst things I've ever done! Was excited to get it as no longer had to worry about contraception but I was wrong. I had it inserted in October which was not very painful. Felt OK then in the middle of November started bleeding constantly. Checked with the dr and she said it would ease, I bled all the way through to mid February when I finally got it taken out. I was so depressed. So was really happy I had it removed and thought it was over until I started getting the most severe pain and ended up in emergency with an infection. I ended up on 3 courses of antibiotics. It's now the following November and am only just feeling like my normal self."


"I just got my skyla in yesterday so this rating is only for the insertion process itself. I have been on the pill for the past year and a half but I wasn't very good at taking it on time and correctly so my doctor and I decided to try an IUD. As I'm 18 and have never had kids the skyla it was. I'm not going to lie I tend to overestimate how much something is going to hurt and end up being fine but unfortunately that wasn't the case for this. The pain was definitely there and actually hurt more than I thought it would. I couldn't stand up for about ten minutes after the insertion and driving home was a a nightmare. I had to pull over because my vision was blurry. Be cautious with this. Hoping the good outweighs the bad."


"Been on generic adipex for 1 month. Start weight 183. Current weight 171. Drink lots of water on this. Dehydration can cause headaches ( get migraines already so this did not increase due to the medication). First day i was nauseous. first week was extreme dry mouth and complete lack of appetite. I had to remind myself to eat during the first week. At some point during the second week i was feeling a bit hungry but not the constant hunger i experienced before. As of the end of the first month the only persisting side effect if the dry mouth. I'm also not sleeping very well! but I just take tylenol pm for that. overall i feel good. i'm losing weight. im less hungry so i'm selecting better food choices. (chocoholic lol) and no serious issues."


"I had been suffering from hyperdidrosis for about two years. The most unbearable and uncomfortable situation was the feeling of drops of sweat roll down my side. I had to change my wardrobe completely. I would come back from school and immediately have to change my shirt. I had tried everything!  I tried home remedies to all kinds of deoderants, but nothing worked. Not only was it embarassing, but the sensation of having sweaty underarms was uncomfortable. I told my doctor about and she gave me drysol. It was a MIRACLE! The day after I put it on, my sweat was 99% GONE!! Just a little burning, but not to bad. It reduced my sweating and know I can go back to the life I used to have. Thank the heavens for this product! Love it!"


"This was a life changing experience and I have the power to make positive changes in the everyday challenges I face. Without methadone treatment this would not have been possible."


"So I was diagnosed today with chlamydia and having been in a faithful relationship for nearly four years I was obviously freaked out I'd had it that long. But anyway, I look four 250mg in one go at around 7pm and had stomach pain after around half hour. It's now 9:30pm and I just had one of the worst episodes of diarrhoea in my life. I was worried this would affect the drug working but it seems to be normal so as long as it gets rid of the chlamydia it's a small price to pay. Food/drink - mocha 1 hour before taking, bolognese 1 hour after taking. Judging by these reviews it seems it doesn't matter if you eat or not you still could get side effects. Worth noting I didn't throw up but then I'm not a throwing up type person"


"I first got IBS-D when I was a freshman in high school. Now, eight years later, I found Viberzi. I'm on my third month with it and it has worked wonders! I experienced abdominal pain when I first started, but I read the instructions and realized I needed to take it with food. It's important to take it with a meal, rather than a snack, since that works better for me. I take the 100 MG tablets twice a day. I still get anxious about going out, but after living with this for eight years, living a more normal life takes getting used to. I've only gotten diarrhea when I had a virus or that time of the month hit, but otherwise I haven't had any more incidents. I can even eat chili without getting sick!"


"Really good effect of this Viagra its the best"


"I took Parnate in the hospital.  It's the second most wonderful thing to ever have happened to my brain, after ECT.  But it tried to kill me.  But that was due to a drug interaction.  Don't take a high dose of Parnate (60 mg) with more than 150 mg of trazodone.  I did.  I had two hypertensive crises.  My BP was 208/163.  It was extremely painful.  But I would go back to Parnate in a second, just without the trazodone.  Look up the drugs it interacts with before you take something with it.  I felt cheerful, I started laughing again for the first time in years.  Until the hypertensive stuff happened my team was talking discharge.  And I came in very sick.  Parnate is great."


Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray (old formulation)

"I had severe congestion and pressure causing pain and a headache. Sinex worked within 5 minutes of using. I can now breathe out of my nose for the first time today. I was real skeptical at first but am very happy with the results. Definitely recommend!"


"Removed all constipation, have regular bowel for the first time in years."


"Started my menopause late 30's. I am very fit and thought I would sail through it! Instead I had so many hot flashes day and night plus anxiety and vey bad insomnia so much so I could not function. Thankfully my husband was very patient and caring as I would get very moody and emotional. I am now 57 and still going through it and after trying quite a few things which did not work (not HRT) I was put on clonidine 4 years ago, thank goodness as I do not have half as many hot flushes, very few sleepless nights so I'm not tired which makes me very happy.  It obviously works for me and cannot believe I was not told about it sooner. I cannot remember having any side effects I.e dry mouth or headaches and I take 25mg a day."


"I was on this pill to make my periods lighter and clear up my acne. It made my periods VERY light, usually lasting less than one day of bleeding, and one day of light spotting. For acne it did wonders, but ONLY when taken with the antibiotic minocycline, together. Both medications on their own did not effect my acne, but when taken together they helped tremendously."


"I decided to try out the Paragard after giving birth to my 2nd child.  I'd already tried the pill & depo , neither worked for me so paragard was recommended for me due to the no hormones & longevity. The initial  procedure was so painful for me I thought I Was dying considering that I've never given birth vaginally. My obgyn had to attempt 3times before successful getting it done (my uterus is tighter than most so the utensil kept being pushed out). But the ultimate deal breaker for me is the irregular periods & discomfort during sex. My cycles come twice a month sometimes & they're so heavy that I have to use a tampon & pad at the same time & lasting longer. Sex is uncomfortable @times & I often have no sex drive at all."


"For those who just found out they have LATENT TB, the treatment is tedius but I have remained very healthy and have no serious complications. I have taken this medication 300 mg once daily for almost 9 months. Only main issue is it totally messes up a woman's cycle. My doc put be on 50mg of Vit B6 to prevent nerve damage. I take the Vit. B every day. My doc checks my liver and other blood levels every month to make sure I do not damage my liver. I take 50 mg of trazodone for sleep and it doesn't seem to interact weird with the isoniazid. It's just a pain to have to remember everyday but you get use to it."


"I have taken Sertraline, Paroxetin, Wellbutrin, Brintellix, Mirtazepine. But lamotrigine is perfect in combination with paroxetine. I am glad that  this medication was created."


"I took symbyax 3/25 for 5 years.  I have been opening my pill capsules and splitting the contents so I can slowly withdraw. The price was getting a bit expensive too. I would not recommend taking any meds unless you absolutely have to. After 5 years I will feel this but some discomfort is to be expected."


"I've always known that Xanax was the answer to my issues."


"Lost 9lbs in 2 weeks and have not exercised yet.  This pill is the real deal. No side effects."


"I have been on Nuvaring for over a year. Overall I love it. I have done 3 weeks in 1 week out and I have done 3 weeks in and immediately put in a new ring which both have worked without any problem. I also tried 4 weeks in 1 week out/immediately put a new one in because my gyno did tell me the ring actually has 28 days of hormones - but the lowered hormones caused me to bleed a lot.
I do have problems with slipping occasionally and taking it out before sex is a little embarrassing but I love it for how hard it is to mess up."


"Found this medication excellent with my depression recovery. However when you do start to feel better, the medication makes me feel lazy at times and has made me put on about 3kgs."


"Was horrible at the start, expect insomnia taking 20mgs. After 6 months I felt very very very good. I live with no anxiety at the moment. Weight gain is a side effect."


"This Ranitidine did not help duodenal ulcer, my acid reflux, my acid nothing I am now using a medication called sucralfate and it's working like a dream!
ps. I have Chronic pancreatitis... what enzymes?  I have to take Pancrealipase to digest."


"I was on Corgard for 7 years and it did not control my migraines. I get complex migraines with neuro symptoms... numbness on one side of face/arm/hand... .feels like a stroke, but isn't.... have had CTs etc. Anyway, was switched to Topomax at 25 mg in March and increased to 50mg in May... no migraines except for one episode of a few days of the 'aura' but did not go into the full blown scary feeling migraine. My side effects have been significant  weight loss and some word find issues, but I would not trade them for feeling like I am having a stroke. I don't know the long term effect of taking Topamax though.... will have to ask my neurologist. I have changed to a new one recently. Am so thankful so far for Topamax."


"I've struggled with anxiety for years and worried about everything!  I finally tried escitalopram!  One of the best things I ever did!  I was so scared of living in a fog from past experiences with anxiety meds.!   In the first week I found 10mg to be to much, so I started cutting down to 2 mg!  When I was ready or felt anxiety sneaking on me again I would up it another 2 mg!  Yes all the side affects are real and possible!  But after 4 to 5 weeks I was able to level out!  I gave it my best shot and it was worth it in the end!  I'm now taking 10mg daily!  hope this was helpful"


"This pill started out as the greatest thing ever, no side effects! I was in good shape and weighed around 140lbs. I don't like periods so I always skipped it which my doctor said was completely okay. But after 6 months of taking it, it just went completely downhill. I gained about 25 pounds in the last 8 months of taking it! I didn't realize how much weight I had gained until I realized my shorts and jeans from the summer before didn't fit me anymore! I was completely disgusted after a picture I saw of myself and decide to get on a scale and I weighed 165! That was ridiculous for me! And I never thought how when I was on this birth control I was hungry.. ALL THE TIME! I recently got off it and lost 5 pounds in the 1st week!"


"In just a week I have noticed a difference in my ability to focus and get things accomplished. Decision making is easier. So far no side effects. I up the dosage today so hopefully this will be just what I need."


"I took Myrbetriq three times over a week.  It stopped the urinary urgency it was prescribed to treat but caused serious demetia.  I would not be able to function if I took this drug regularly. Dry mouth I could handle, not dementia."


"71 year old male.  Started on 30 mg.  Works well in terms of reducing numbness and cramping from peripheral neuropathy. Side effects - slight constipation and slight reduction in energy level.  Also possible reduction is sexual performance.  Again, side effects seem to be slight so far compared to benefits.."


"My psoriatic arthritis started about 36 months ago I tried light therapy and was on enbroe for about 8 months with limited improvement from either treatment procedure.
My back, head, and legs were very covered with psoriasis and were extremely itchy. My scratching exacerbated  the problem and I had bleeding scores all over my legs.
One year ago I went on otezla and within 4 months my back and head were completely clear and my legs were vastly improved
I did not experience any side effects to speak of although I did lose 10 lbs.
Currently my legs are about 80% clear however after about 5 months of use the palms of my hands and my feet were severely infected with psoriasis to the point were they were cracking and bleeding no matter how much l tried to look after them"


"I started Humira at the end of July this year and within a few days, my pain in my lower back and neck disappeared.  Recently my wife picked up my prescription and left the Humira in her car for 8 hours not being refrigerated in 90 degree weather.  I used the Humira and my symptoms returned.  I contacted the 1-800-4Humira number and spoke with a nurse who informed me that the Humira (when left outside) was unstable and should not had been used.  Lesson learned... make sure to immediately refrigerate your Humira.  I am now waiting to get my next injection and am praying it works for me again."


"Until about age 56, had never had cold sore. Suddenly had spot on butt, went to clinic, PA thought it was spider bite, antibodies given, no relief.  The next time it occurred (same spot), got in to see dermatologist immediately. He stated it was a form of chicken pox virus (not sexual related). Gave Valtrex, worked great. Pharmacist also recommending taking L-LySyine daily to help prevent occurrences. Used to have only 2 occurrences a year - February and August -my work stress months.  Have not had any more occurrences."


"Due to a bacteria which caused traveller diarrhea for like two weeks I had to take very strong antibiotics to get rid of it. Unfortunately, I then couldn't go to the toilet anymore for 4 days. On the 5th day I took one pill at 4pm, woke up at 4am in the morning with really painful stomach cramps, but couldn't go to the toilet. At around 8am the pain was almost unbearable and I felt sick and didn't know if I had to vomit whilst I was sitting on the toilet. Worked eventually but only 16 hours later with a lot of pain in the hours beforehand. It does its job but you have to accept the pain which comes with it."


"I started on an anxiety medication that caused me weight gain so I switched to Pristiq, which I was told was good to help control weight gain even reverse it. I have been on it for 3 months and my weight gain has exploded putting on 6 kgs, i still feel a little uneasy. Maybe I need to up my dose, but so very depressed that my weight is out of control."


"This medication works! Unfortunately I started experiencing horrible burping and vomiting. The incidents progressively got worse. It just started out as burping, then I vomited 1 time, then the next incident I vomited for a couple of hours and then I was sick for 2 days. These did not happen all in the  same week, it was random. I really want to take this med but can't stand that side effect."


"-50mg pill Naltrexone
-binge drinker consuming between 40-60 drinks a week
-experienced nausea and ended up throwing up, it did not come back with my next dose.
-attempted drinking on 2nd day and found that I had lost interest/craving
Some unexpected positive side effects:
-loss of desire to smoke cigarettes
-extreme reduction OCD smartphone use
-reduced appetite but with food tasting great, even water tastes great (weird)
-fitful sleep and whackadoodle dreams
-night-sweats
-jittery for first 30-60 minutes after dose
-I am a better father, husband and all around dude"


"Lupus: I have been taking Arthrotec for two weeks now; my symptoms have improved tremedously.  I tired Mobic 15 mg., Celebrex, Lyrica and just about everything else that would decrease pain. I know it has side effects but walking and being productive is well worth the risk."


"My experience has been quite well. I got it when I was 15 in May 2015. It bruised for a while after, and I bleed everyday up until December. Now reading the other reviews and the side effects, I now know why I've been gaining a little weight, got some acne, and have been yelling at people for now reason. Haha, I know that seems sad but I've handled it! It also made me not wanna have sex, and when I did it was uncomfortable. But, its now March and I havent had a period for a while (I'm not pregnant!) I like it because its easier than a pill. If you can deal with wearing pads for a while and not worrying about taking a pill, I suggest it!"


"This pill gives me an appetite, helps my depression, helps my anxiety, and helps me sleep. I love it. I don't know what I would do without it to be honest, and if I need to be on one medication for the rest of my life this would be it. I have been on many pills and I'm normally really picky about side effects but this one is just great for me."


"Getting better results than with Lantus.  Used Lantus for 7 years.  I have used Toujeo for 1 year as of April 2016.  Did not experience any adverse side effects.  Blood sugar much more stable - not as many highs or lows.  Makes it easier to do fine-tuning with my mealtime insulin.  A1c came down and stayed between 6 and 6.3."


"I've been on this for a month or so at 25mg a day and it has reduced my headaches down from one every day with a migraine once a week to about a headache a week and I haven't had a migraine yet. When I take this I have noticed that I sleep better. I also have dry mouth with this unfortunately but it is nothing compared to having daily headaches. (18 years old, female, migraines since age 4)."


"Works great and does not cause erectile dysfunction like other classes of blood pressure drugs."


"I've had lower back pain for over a year and several doctors later, I was put on Cymbalta.  I could not handle the side effects.  I was having horrible dreams, sweats, felt nauseated, shakes, and felt really out of it with dizziness and confusion.  This was a 30 mg dose, I'm not on any other medicines."


"It's my 4th day on Bactrim and it has not been great. I feel better from the overall symptoms but I've been fatigued and super groggy and for the first day I had a horrible headache. I keep feeling my heart pounding in my head and ears, but I agree with pretty much everyone else on here, the symptoms from the cure are better than the symptoms of my bladder/kidney infection. I've got 6 more days... Is it effective? Yes. Is it an enjoyable experience? No."


"I have used Neupro for 5 months now, in combination with Azilect. The neurologist Increased my dosage from 2mg to 6mg. My tremors and motor-skills co-ordination are definetely more  under control. No significant side effects."


"Shrinks prostate.  No effect on sex drive.  Less ejaculate.   After prostate shrunk & urine stream improved, cut back to 1 pill every other day as maintenance."


"My doctor put me on this for a nerve condition which typically leaves me in dull pain, with occasional fierce spikes in pain. He noted that it is a "very powerful painkiller" so be careful. I took one, waited an hour or so, nothing. Took the second one, and again now almost 3 hours later I feel 100% the same, the pain has not been reduced at all. I took 1 200mg advil, and felt a minor amount of relief, so this is about the power of maybe a baby aspirin. Hardly a "powerful painkiller. I thought maybe it was just me, but after some research I see I am not alone. I think this medicine is nothing short of pharmaceutical grade snake oil. I will be going back to my doctor to rid this hoax in a bottle."


"The reason for my review is in hope that I can convince someone out there who needs help with their anxiety to try this medication. It seriously has been changing my life. It's only been 2 months and I'm already feeling "normal". It took a little less than a month for me to really start feeling happier and less anxious. I used to be very negative because of my anxiety. I never wanted to socialize or do anything. I started a new job, which used to be one of my biggest anxiety triggers. But it has been going so well! I'm social and can talk to my coworkers and customers with confidence and my negative thoughts aren't really there anymore. I'll admit the side effects the first few weeks were horrible! Just stick it out, I promise it's worth it."


"I was taking Yaz for about 6-7 months and had great results with decreased acne and shorter menstrual periods. However, the more I read about the drug, the more concerned I became about some of the side effects other people were having. However, I am not the type of person to imagine that side effects are happening to me. I have always tolerated most medications pretty well. So I thought everything was going well with Yaz. About 6-7 months into it, I started noticing that I was having a lot of muscle twitching. It was subtle at first but then it was constant. I finally went to my doctor and she said that I most likely had increased potassium, causing an electrolyte imbalance. (Which can be very dangerous if untreated). Hope this helps."


"It's hard for me to remember who I was before I started this medication, to be quite honest I don't want to either. I was angry, always ended up in arguments or fights with family, I had major depressive episodes to the point I wondered if I had bipolar(I do not, otherwise this medication wouldn't have worked afaik). I had constant anxiety to the point where I once had to lay in my bed for an entire week because the only time I wasn't in constant fear was when I was sleeping. I started this and everything changed, I'm not really happy but I am not depressed which is a blessing for someone like me who wanted to die every minute. I don't argue or fight with people much anymore unless it's unavoidable. I also lost my mild OCD."


"I've been on this pill for about 5 months now. Besides the frequent spotting I experienced during the first 2 months, I have no complaints! No change in my weight, emotions, sex drive, acne (if anything my skin has been better). My boobs experienced some minor swelling for only about a month. Overall, I do believe this pill is something you definitely have to give your body some time to get used to but once it does, you will be super content! Hang in there ladies"


"As a teen I never had acne or cramps, and once I became sexually active I started taking a different birth control for obvious reasons. After 2 years with no problems, I went off it because I started getting acne. It was only after I stopped taking it that my skin became TERRIBLE. I'm talking a full chinstrap of god awful acne for months. I then went on Lomedia/Blisovi and it slowly but surely cleared my skin up. However, Lomedia/Blisovi completely stopped my periods. Won't complain about that, but it did result in very heavy, thick, constant discharge. I think it also affected my mood. Not sure if it was life or the pill but I became anxious, moody, and depressed. Never gained weight/had cramps but I'm scared to go off it for acne's sake"


"I started taking Cryselle almost 9 months ago to treat my endometriosis as well as to act as a birth control. My OB-GYN instructed me to skip the placebos, and as a result I have had virtually no cramping or break through bleeding (common on my last pill). However, as she warned, I developed severe acne. The acne I could deal with, but the emotional side effects I cannot. I have become increasingly moody the longer I have been on Cryselle, especially around the time of my "period". I have also developed strong feelings of anxiety and depression. I had hoped when these symptoms began, that they would lessen over time, but they have just increased in severity. "


"Update:
24days in and I'm done. I could deal with all the side effects but on day 22, something called brain zaps started. They are painful "zaps" and continue through out the day. I thought I must be having an aneurism. I HAVEN'T MISSED A DAY. 20mg.  Calling Doctor for best way to exit this. I rather put up with the night sweats."


"I just started on this drug 2 weeks now. My doctor prescribed it to me to help deal with my concussion headaches and to help me sleep. The pain-free aspect is quite lovely, however 2 weeks in, and I'm suuuuper groggy. It doesn't help me sleep, but I didn't have a problem with that - it was just the post-concussion headaches. My doctor's main goal seemed to just send me back to work. I'm glad I didn't have to drive into work today because I'm not sure I'd be up for morning rush hour traffic. She only prescribed one month's worth (10 mg pills) & I can't wait to be finished with it. I have noticed a large increase in "chubbiness" around my mid-section. I notice that some weight gain is one of the side effects as well."


"I am taking this medicine so my period can come. It's the second month I am taking it. It worked just fine in the first time."


"I have been taking Benicar for about 6 months now and all I can say is WOW! My blood pressure is 124/80 and, needless to say, I'm very happy. So far, no side effects either."


"As a child I always had problems with being very hyper and I couldn't pay attention like other children in my class. My teacher noticed it and told my mother about things that could help me. My mother had me tested and put on Adderall. Within a week I can honestly remember a change. At first it made me feel very funny and zombie like but after it got in my system my family said I was totally different person. I also suffer with dyslexia, but this medication helped me with that too. I was put on it when I was 7 years old. When I was 20 I stopped taking it since I was out of school. I couldn't hold down a job and things just got really bad for me. Then I had my baby boy and decided I had to be put back on it. Best thing that happened to me."


"The absolute worst drug I have ever been on. Caused physical illness and a state of mania for a week straight - a week from hell."


Polyethylene glycol 3350 with electrolytes

"This is only my second colonoscopy, ( I am 60 yrs. young) My doc gave me the Gavilyte-N. It was not too bad as I made it this morning and let it chill. The first few glasses went down ok. But I am down to about 2-3 more glasses away from being finished tonight. I have had the worst nausea, gagging, and near vomiting I have felt in my entire life. I hope to God I never have to do this again. There's no history of polyps or cancer in my family. Calling it done once this procedure is over."


"Depo-Provera worked very well. In fact I really loved it. I only gained about 3 pounds (I do work out 4/5 times a week). Had my period 3 times a year and it was so easy just one shot every three months. The only downside was I got a bunch of acne and a bit of hair loss. Each month around my period I still had the cravings but never got my period! Now that I am off my acne cleared up a bit. I highly recommend this birth control! Very effective!"


"This is my second time trying verapamil.

Neither time was effective. Side effects were unacceptable (leg pain, increased dizziness, non migraine headaches)."


"27 yr old male and never had acne until a yr ago. Initially, I thought it was stress or something short term that would go away. It never went away and the last yr I tried everything Imaginable: OTC acne meds, changed my diet numerous times; cut out all sugar, ate only organic food. Quit exercising to see if sweat was causing it. I did everything possible.I never had acne and could not figure out why at 26/27 it started. I finally went to the dermatologist and was put on Retin A, this made my acne 20x worse. Gave me cystic acne everywhere. I used it for over a month but could not take it anymore. Luckily my mom had Finacea. Within a day I saw results and within a week it was all gone. My face is perfect. I wish I had more room to say how great it is."


"Only used for pain relief after c section surgery."


"well neurotin has really not done anything for me..i was an alcoholic and had seizures..many times and they put me on propranolol it has helped more than anything I guess for the tremors but as far as seizures nope not doing anything I still feel like I'm about to have a heart attack/seizure...just aint doing it for me"


"Been using treximet since 2008. Was upgrade from relpax 40mg. I get 6-8 migraines per month. Treximet works    faster than imitrex and relpax. For me, treximet is active within 30-40 min or 2 hours if the migraine is very strong. Imitrex took 4-6 hours, relpax took 2-3 hours. Only side effect is drowsiness. Very happy with results but prefer if it was not so expensive."


"Please, please, please do your research before ever taking Klonopin or any drug in the benzodiazepine family.  Klonopin has caused me great hardship and nearly cost me my life.  And I am not alone - thousands of people have had horrific experiences with this drug.  Please search "benzo withdrawal" or similar to educate yourself.  Looking back, my original anxiety was nothing compared to the torture I went through once I was addicted to klonopin.  And I am not through it yet.  Words  can not explain the horror I went through.  That is why I beg you to do your own research.  Most doctors don't know or are in denial about the withdrawal effects of benzodiazepines.  The stories you will find are not lies or exaggerations. Buyer beware! Please!!"


"After a few weeks of taking this my blood sugars came right down and have stayed low."


"Just finishing 2nd pack. I have never taken birth control before. I wanted to try it because I have super super heavy painful long periods. The first month I had break through bleeding then it stopped. I have a much better mood now, skin is clearing up. It also helps with cramps, bloating and much more. Hopefully it will continue to be a great thing, only time will tell."


"This Drysol changed my life! I would absolutely recommend to everyone who deals with excessive sweating. I knew sweating was a problem for me when I used to sweat in the cold while not working out. Being nervous/heat/physicial activity made it so much worse. I think people around me noticed my problem as well but were polite enough not to mention it. Within 2 uses my sweating was gone, now I barely do any maintenance, maybe once a month and there is no sweat at all. Thank you so much Drysol! Also, didn't notice any side effects."


"One week off of 12 week course. I feel great.  So thankful  and grateful for this miracle. Side effects  were really mild."


"I started Contrave on April 1st. Have been on it for 10 days. I am now taking 2 pills a day. One in morning and one in evening.  So far no bad side effects. I have lost 3 lbs as of today.  I am eating less at each meal and no snacking in between. Overall I am pleased so far."


"Getting off the depo... Ever since I've got it, I've had horrible headaches every single day, the only thing that helps is Exedrin Migraine. I've gained 20+ pounds & im extremely moody & tired all the time & I spit out of nowhere. I loved the shot at first but I'm getting off of it."


"Was on it for 3 years. Mostly used to help treat PMS, cramps and headache. While those never really went away just delayed 3 months were less severe, until recently. Lately been having horrible cramps about a week before, and some mild spotting. Did not have my hormone headache and cramps were tolerable with one month bc. Recently talked to OBGYN , she thinks this is my bodies way of telling me should have my period once a month, so back to the one month packs."


"Extremely erect "


"I've been taking Sprintec for almost two months and I've noticed that I've been eating less and feeling full faster. I already lost 3 pounds! The doctor told me I may experience nausea or spotting but so far I haven't and my period has been on time! I hope it stays this way though!"


"I am on my 9th day of treatment with zepatier for Hep C I am doing very well with no side effects can't even tell I'm taking it..  So glad I finally got treatment  it sure has been a journey."


"I was on Lutera for 3 years and it was awesome! My cramps were mild, my periods were only few days long and lighter. I wasn't emotional and out of control. I felt normal. I didn't gain weight. This is a great pill to try!"


"Very effective with no side effects."


"I've been using this product for about 3 weeks. My acne is really bad due to hormone issues, so I was worried that no medications would help until we finally got my hormones balanced. Well, I began using Aczone and I have, as well as others, noticed a wonderful improvement. I haven't had issues with dry skin with it. I hope it continues to work."


"I was on Serzone for 6 years and it gave me my life back.  It truly is a miracle medicine and should not get the bad rap.  I never had any liver problems, in fact I only had dry mouth as a side-effect.  It did not affect my libido or ability like the Cymbalta that I am on now.  I had liver problems with Depakote ER and I don't understand why it does not get the negative press.  Serzone is amazing and I am going to work with my new psychiatrist to be back on it once again.  I can't wait to get my life back once again!"


"Had my sonogram check up today at 2.5 weeks post insertion. The IUD was exactly where it should be. I told my doctor I had experienced some pretty intense pain/cramping on my right side near what I assumed was my ovary. He told me that was the implant "getting in place" and was pretty normal. I've never had painful periods so my experience for what is normal is fairly limited. And although the pain was at times intense & nauseating it was very quick. The cystic acne I reported on day 3 (see earlier review) has subsided and was explained as androgens flooding my system. Spotting is minimal and some bloody discharge when I urinate. No pain during sex or high intensity workouts. So far thee discomfort was worth it. :)"


"This was the first BC I was put on. Bled continuously for 6 months. My OB/GYN prescribed it to take so my periods would stop, so 6 months of that was enough. I also have migraines, which I take Topamax to prevent, but with the Previfem they were coming nearly every other day. Extreme nausea and regular vomiting were also lovely side effects I experienced. I switched to Gildess or Junel, depending on which the pharmacy had in, and they were both a dream. None of these symptoms except for occasional nausea, so I took it at night to remedy that. Gildess and Junel are also used to regulate hormonal migraine headaches, and they both helped tremendously. I just got the Nexplanon, but will go back to Gildess/Junel if I don't do well with it."


"I wish I could say that Buspar helped me.  I was really hoping that I would have the same experience as some of the individuals here.  I think the Buspar actually made my anxiety worse. However, I didn't feel any side effects until I took it for about 2 weeks.

I had the dizziness and fatigue that many have commented on, but also the less common side effects like gastrointestinal problems, nausea, confusion, and lack of concentration.  I had to stop taking it because it was impairing me so badly.  I hope that this medication works for others but it, unfortunately, did not for me."


"Have previously used progesterone tablets which worked fairly well however I had a break and then my gp told me to use these instead. Horrid 3 days! I could deal with the nausea and low mood as I was prepared for it, but I lost my orgasm on just 25mg and 3 tablets. Not for me!"


"So far so good.  I followed the tips to drink it very cold, with a wedge of lemon handy (Best. Tip. Ever.) and through a large straw.  It was nasty but drinkable.  I had an immediate reaction and apart from feeling a little gross for about an hour after drinking it, it was no big deal.  No, I'm not especially looking forward to the next bottle but it's not the worst thing I've had to do.   Comparable to warm barium if you ask me."


"I have debilitating seasonal allergies, to the point where my eyes swell up completely.  Doctors kept saying take zyrtec, take claritin, nasonex, etc.  Nothing made even a dent in the symptoms, even benadryl barely helped.  When I was finally prescribed xyzal it completely changed allergy season for me.  I feel like I have no allergies at all (almost a problem because I forget to take my meds).  Anyone who is miserable during allergy season should seriously consider xyzal."


"I am currently on this to treat BV, I'm on my last day and it has definitely done it's job I no longer have any signs of infection, it's very effective. But this medication can be extremely unpleasant. I got the worst of it today, diarrhea, nausea, weakness, fatigue, upset stomach, and body aches. I drank a store bought Kombucha, which is a drink loaded with probiotics, and I immediately felt relief. I recommend anyone having bad side effects from this medication get some sort of daily probiotic intake, don't worry it will not make the metronidazole any less effective. It helps relieve bad side effects of antibiotics immensely, look it up! This can also help reduce the risk of getting a yeast infection from this medication"


"I was already 3 days into a breakout and decided to go to the pharmacy and look for something to help alleviate the pain. I chose Abreva because it was FDA approved, but truthfully wasn't expecting much. To make matters worse, I have a beard that covers the sore.

After only 1 day the sore was much, much better and virtually all of the related pain on my cheek and chin was gone. By the second day the sore was barely there.

I'm now a fan of this treatment and will definitely purchase it again at the very first sign of an outbreak. For me, Abreva is a "keeper.""


"I've had my implant in since March of 2013, I'm on my second implant now and I as well have nothing good to say about the implant. I bleed constantly, am in a depressed or irritated mood all the time, and when I am in a good mood it never lasts more than a few hours because my mood swings are so horrible."


"I started taking generic lipitor in February/March  2017. My lab work came back and total cholesterol was 311. At first I started taking 20mg a day. By the 9th day I was an emotional mess. Anxiety,  anger, confusion, leg pain, stomach pain and heartburn. I decided to take the 20mg  every other day. All the side effects disappeared. Works great.  I heard back from my Dr who says to continue the every other day dosage because its working and its tolerable for me."


"I had super bad acne for about half a year and it was awful. My dermatologist, at first put me on creams like Aczone and Epiduo and an antibiotic called Doxycycline Monohydrate. My skin started to look better.The dermat switched my antibiotic to a different drug called minocycline. This cleared up my face, but started making some of my acne scars look even darker! I then switched back to my normal, until last December I began having a major allergic reaction to the Epiduo. It was awful! I stopped using it and continued with the pill and with the Aczone.  I started to break out again, and I'm hoping that starting Finacea, it will keep me acne free again!"


"I got the implant a little over 2 years ago it does prevent pregnancy but I bleed twice a month I get dizzy nauseous headaches and now a rash on both my arms and my leg and have now discovered that the implant broke in my arm ..I wouldn't recommend it"


"I was on this pill for the past 5 years, and I really really liked it up until recently.  I barely ever get a period which is awesome, but i've been noticing the past year or so that my headaches have become almost daily and it's shooting pains above my right eye, my hair has started shedding so bad it's really disgusting and my boobs always feel so sore, even from just wearing a bra. I think my body has changed and the pill does not work the same way anymore."


"I was so excited when my pain started to get better after slowly tapering up to 100mg nightly after trying countless medications that did not help. I have been on it for 5 months now...and have gained 30 lbs even while dieting...and the past couple weeks my pain had been coming back and I am lying restless in bed at night."


"I was given Zofran after having my gallbladder removed. The nausea wasn't from the procedure, but came on when I was finally able to eat and the broth soup was placed in front of me. For at least a month prior I'd been getting nauseous just from seeing food no matter how hungry I was (and after fasting for surgery I was absolutely starving!) I was given Zofran in my IV and it did absolutely nothing. My surgeon then gave me a prescription for the pill form, but again, it did nothing to help my nausea."


"To me, this is a wonder drug!! I'm serious! I'm not saying that my chest pains with palpitations are completely gone because they're not. Yet, with Ranexa, I can deal with it. The first time I began taking it I walked about 3-4 blocks without stopping to catch my breath. At first it scared me thinking I did or was doing something wrong. But it was the Ranexa that made the difference!"


"I am 55 years old, blood pressure ran from about 150-180 (systolic). Lisinopril (20mg) got my blood pressure to about 120/80. No side effects noted. My liver profile is normal, but I have noted my TSH, and fT4 drift a little high then normal. Having taken up exercise, reduced salt intake, etc, my blood pressure will be about normal without the drug.
It seems as though my fT4 and TSH tend to elevate when on lisinopril. I have just noticed this over the past 2 months.
I am now keeping records of when I take the drug over a week then will do repeat thyroid function tests to see if there is a trend. "


"Buspar has changed my life! I absolutely love this medication. I suffer from phobias and health anxiety and this medication has worked wonders for me. As a nurse, I didn't want anything addictive and this was my miracle. I tried Ativan and it didn't even touch my anxiety. I have had no side effects with the Buspar and it has helped me to relax and feel like myself again! I highly recommend it!"


"I love this medicine. I used to get incredibly anxious at night - NOTHING could help me. My doctor prescribed this and the FIRST night I felt better. My mind was not cycling through "scary" thoughts that used to plague me. I was able to rationalize much easier. I'm just so glad to finally have something that helps."


"I was scared to try birth control for the first time, especially after reading the horror stories here. But people only post things if something happens. For me, nothing has happened. The first day I had crazy mood swings, but maybe it was placebo effect.
I was scared that I would lose all my progress with depression, but actually nothing has happened. I'm still the cheerful, calm person I was before starting it.
The rest of the week nothing happened. I even forgot I'm taking BC at all. I guess I did break out a lot more and my skin's pretty raw, but I'm only on it for Accutane so it'll be fun to see the chemicals duke it out."


"Took for two months and couldn't take it a day more. I did lose seven pounds in those two months but I don't know if it was from the medication or the vomiting I did every single day while on it. I didn't have much of an appetite which was a plus, again though I was sick every day. I couldn't even make it up to the full dose because it made me so ill. Vomiting, headaches, dry mouth, diarrhea, extreme mood swings, shakes, sleeplessness, and heart palpitations and pains. I stopped at two months which was a year ago today and I still am having long term heart problems from this stuff. That's under my doctors words not mine. I do need help with weighloss but have decided to eat better and exercise to my ability. No side effects from these!"


"I got Implanon in October 2011 and I felt the cons outweighed the pros. My symptoms included: Vaginal Bleeding (all the time), HAIR LOSS! As someone else mentioned my hair also broke off in the middle - my mother has also noticed it, depression/very emotional sometimes for no reason, anxiety, no sex-drive, slight acne, felt down in the dumps/sad, no motivation, fatigue, dermatitis of the skin on my hands.I was in a relationship that I am in no longer. The only good thing about the implant is it's very effective (no pregnancy). I got the Implanon taken out 2.5 months later recently in December 2011 (4 day ago). My dermatitis has gone away and hopefully I'll feel like myself again. Please those who want to try it be aware of these symptoms. I was 1 of the unlucky ones."


"I was honestly terrified when i read these reviews after being prescribed this after a root canal treatment. I was in a lot of pain during the procedure even though thoroughly frozen, dentist said she saw an infection and prescribed this in case. I was nervous buying it, and overly cautious taking them at the right time, with food, 2 glasses of water. I felt really tired and had a sore throat just after the first 6-8 dosages, and then the pain was gone (after months of it) and no other side effects, so i guess i've hit my stride with it. I'm halfway through now and am less stringent with eating each time, going well so far."


"Ambien does not do a thing for me. I started taking 10mg before bed and worked up to taking it 5 or 6 hours before bed without any change. I even tried taking 10mg in the afternoon and 10mg in the evening and still no help with sleep."


"I personally like this BC
I tried the regular Junel 1/20 but because I'm iron deficient my dr recommended this one. The only downside I would say is that it gives me cramps, nothing crazy. But I don't usually get cramps so this was a change for me but they are mild nothing I couldn't handle. My skin is clear, it's made me lose weight in general. My sex drive actually gotten better. My period is super light last about 3 days (: I've been on this one for a month now with the regular junel 1/20 I was on it for 6 months and it was basically the same. I'm happy"


"I started Loestrin over a year and a half ago, two months before my wedding, and it is a great pill. I did gain quite a bit of weight (but I attribute that to my love of fast food). Before going on this pill, I had absolutely horrible period cramps, terrible iron deficiency, and very excessive bleeding. I had few pimples. When I started the pill, my bleeding decreased a ton and I didn't feel lightheaded anymore, I have not had a single pimple since I started it, and cramps are nonexistent. I take the pill at the exact same time every night and have never forgotten. I'm careful to use extra protection 48 hours after starting white pills and before brown pills. I haven't gotten pregnant. Only negative- did decrease sex drive a LOT."


"I was put on Implanon in September 2011 after delivering my second daughter in July 2011. I did not have a period for several months after getting it besides a few days of spotting here and there. Within one month of getting Implanon I started getting serious headaches, and in February I began passing out randomly, I had low blood pressure, low heart rate, and was diagnosed with pseudo tumor cerebri. I had to get a lumbar puncture to relieve the pressure. A few days later I had to get a blood patch, because I got a spinal headache.  I ended up needing a second lumbar puncture in aug 2012. In nov 2012 I was also diagnosed with pcos which caused acne, hair growth, painful periods, and infertility. I was told that implanon caused these."


"Took it for a urinary tract infection and immediately broke out in hives, fast heart rate and other unpleasant side effects.  Had to take Benadryl and then was prescribed something else that worked."


"I took Nardil for 21 years.  It worked better than anything else, until the dose was increased from 10 to 40 mg per day.  None of my physicians were able to diagnose the cause of the grotesque swelling of my legs.  A friend suggested it might be the Nardil; I quit taking it and proved her right.  Even in reduced doses, the swelling persisted.  I now take something else."


"This drug gave me focus and energy, however it made my anxiety go worse so I had to stop it. If you don't have problem with anxiety then this drug is definitively a must. It took around 30 days to take effect."


"I've been Ortho Cyclen for a little over 2 months and I'm already getting off of it. My husband and I are newlyweds, so I started taking the pill beforehand so that it would be effective by the time we were married. I was terribly nauseous for the first week or two. Like, unbelievably nauseous. I felt like I couldn't even stand up through some of it. Eventually, the nauseousness passed and if it did happen, it wasn't as horrible or frequent. I did notice immediate acne as well (I almost never break out and I had big cyst-ish looking acne on my chin, which was lame with my upcoming wedding).
I had NO weight gain, but I did lose my sex drive. When I say that, I mean I really didn't feel the same at all. (1/2)"


"I've had chronic migraines for around 12 years. I take 5mg and it usually takes care of my headache. It makes my neck ache a little but the relief from the horrible symptoms of a migraine are well worth it. I've tried other triptans but this one works best. The generic is very inexpensive."


"I have been taking this medication since 1989 without any major complications. I was suffering from major panic and anxiety and it pretty much went away. I highly recommend it to anyone who is suffering from anxiety or panic attacks. I woke up one day feeling like the earth was closing around me. No prior symptoms, just one day started having major anxiety attacks. All gone now."


"This causes crazy weight gain. I was 120 now 177 pounds... yup! Other than that it works I take 80mg before bed every night but the craving at night for food will get the best of you. It took not long to gain weight now it's taking forever to lose it. But I'm still happy with this drug. Better then haldol and seroquel :)"


"I had my Mirena in for only a month- I seemed to be adjusting fine with normal spotting 3 weeks after, cramping only the first 42 hours it was in (until my next period came) BUT I happened to go to the eye Dr. Where they diagnosed me with early stages of papilledimia, or swelling of the optic nerves due to excess cerebral spinal fluid built up in my brain. I have been experiencing all of the symptoms of a large brain tumor, while slowing going blind for the last month. I now need to see a brain specialist to make sure I'm not continuing to be effected even though I got the IUD removed- when caught early, the damage can be reversible. My Dr. Was not aware of this as a possible side effect."


"I feel like this is a miracle for me. I can't believe how well I'm functioning since having stopped daily heroin use. I started with my first dose of Zubsolv about 5 hours after my final use of heroin. I was feeling at least 3 of my usual withdrawal symptoms before I took the first dose. I was amazed by my 3rd day that I felt like I did prior to starting heroin. I felt great!"


"Taking medication for tooth infection after root canal went wrong. This is my seventh course of antibiotics in a bout three months. Not good! The others were plain old Amoxicillin which hasn't helped at all............

This appears to be helping but with just two tablets left I still have swelling in my gums just below the sinus area. The good news is I have had no side effects apart from diarrhoea and stomach ache on the first day but I think this was due to my taking a load of probiotics which can be hard on the stomach at the start. Halved probiotics to two three times a day and now fine

I am sure the tooth will erupt again in a few days though."


"I got the Mirena two months ago. It hurt a little when the doctor put it in, and I cramped for about a day afterwards. I had no discomfort after that until I got my period a month later. My period was 2 1/2 weeks long (which has never happened in my life) with weird discharge and a lot of cramping. The main issue I've had with the Mirena is a lot of cramping and brown slimy discharge. I'm hoping it gets better, my Doc says to give it some time."


Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium

"I have been on Beyaz for several years (3+). When I first started using the pill, I experienced frequent nausea for almost a year. I gradually switched time of dosage to the evening upon recommendation from my obgyn. The nauesa did clear up. I virtually have no acne. Within the first few years, I did have lighter periods

(3-5 day bleeding with minimal cramping). However, in my fourth year of being on this pill, I have been getting my period for only a day. Most times I skip a period entirely. This is due to the thin uterine lining. I did however, develop severe mood swings and panic attacks, which I suffer from daily. I also have had some hair thinning and some weight gain. Loss of libido at first, but it did return after the 1st year."


"The respiclick simply does not work.  I have used it repeatedly when my asthma has flared up and never experienced ANY relief.  Not even sure anything comes out after the click even.  I have been relying on my maintenance DULERA inhaler for rescue situations.  Annoyed and will be talking to my doctor tomorrow about an alternative.   Garbage product."


"I guess I am a statistic, but my paragard fell out after only 3 months. I have never had children before. I'm really sad that the only birth control that I was willing to try failed, and failed so early on. Thankfully my husband saw a piece of string come out and asked me what that could be. That's when I realized 1/4 of the copper IUD was already out. My recovery after the insertion was not too bad, although I did have heavy bleeding for a month. I would advise skinner women with a more petite frame to be careful when going on this birth control. Don't put your hopes in it like I did."


"I've been taking metropolol for alomst 2 years to control heart PVC's (premature ventricular contractions) and it's worked great! I take 25mg 3 times a day. Many people have PVC's but I used to feel mine and they would scare me, like a sudden gush of blood through my heart or an extra thump. I've had no side effects with this medicine except that the afternoon pill can make me sleepy. But since I'm at work, I usually drink 1 diet coke, or 1 cup of coffee in the afternoon to offset it. Otherwise I only drink decaffeinated beverages the other parts of the day. Just that one boost of caffeine in the afternoon will offset the sleepiness of the metoprolol. I'm a 46 year old female that smokes."


"I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 14 and I'm now 23. I've been on and off different forms of BC. Tri-Sprintec is the ONLY form of BC that has helped me. My periods are regulated, I have no acne, no unwanted facial hair, and it hasn't made me gain any kind of weight. The only negative affect I've experienced with Tri-Sprintec is an occasional headache. Other than that, it works great!"


"I have been suffering with cold sores my whole life nothing I tried everything worked like this. I was very skeptical about purchasing it because it is expensive for the little tubes. I am so glad I did if you put it on as soon as you notice or feel oneven coming it will stop it from growing any bigger or make it disappear completely!! "


"Tastes absolutely disgusting. I did not read reviews prior to taking this product. Dreading taking the 2nd dose tomorrow. I experienced nausea, abdominal cramping, and headache with the use of this product. I noticed in the comments some people added other flavor liquids to this product but the instructions specifically state not to do so. I've had other colonoscopies performed in the past using various different  prep methods. This by far is the worst. My doctor convinced me to take suprep as opposed to the Crystal light and miralax method. Come to find out with my insurance the suprep would have costs $70! I called my Dr's office to let them know I couldn't afford the out of pocket expense and they gave me the product for free as a sample."
